Road Trip Guide: Explore Point Reyes
Looking to spend some weekend time on a bit of coast more expansive than Ocean Beach? Just an hour north is Point Reyes, home to some of the best cheese, oysters, and coastal hiking in the Bay Area. Here are some of our favorite things to do outdoors on this national seashore:
Brighten Your Day at These SF Flower Shops
Rain and fog has—at last!—returned to San Francisco. And what better way to cheer up dull skies than with a bunch of gorgeous flowers? Here are the best places in SF to beautify your space with some splashes of color.
13 Hidden Gardens in the Financial District
Looking for somewhere off the beaten path to take your lunch today? Due to some smart city developments, we here in San Francisco are fortunate to have over 50 privately owned public open spaces (POPOS) tucked away on roof tops, in alleys, behind buildings, or in foyers, and available to anyone.
Beginner Triathlons to Try in 2015
'Tis the season to over-indulge and put on a few pounds. Whether you want to make sure you stay in shape during the holidays or jump-start a resolution to get fit in 2015, training for a sprint triathlon may be just the incentive you need. Put these three beginner-friendly tris on your calendar.

Break the ice on a first date, go solo and practice your Olympic figure skating moves, or rally family and friends to what are literally the coolest spots around.
5 Easy Outdoor Adventures For This Weekend
Looking for something fun to do this weekend, but not interested in serious planning? Keep it easy and outdoorsy with these five amazing local outings.
The Legendary Rescue of the Fox Theatre Oakland
Mario and Erma DeLucchi were running late to the auction. It was 1978, and the historic Fox Theatre in Oakland was going up for sale at any moment. One company wanted to turn it into a parking lot, but the DeLucchi family were determined to save it. Mario dropped off his wife so she could get inside while he searched for parking. She arrived just in time to win a bid on the Fox for $340,000.
Five Star Spirituality: Yoga in the Sky at the Mandarin Oriental
For the first installment in our Five Star Spirituality series (brainchild of 7x7 culture editor Brock Keeling), we head to the Mandarin Oriental San Francisco, which is the third tallest building in the city, making it a great place to view not just Fleet Week flybys and America's Cup races (will we ever see those on our waters again?), but also to scan the windows of neighboring buildings for trysts (a pair of binocs in the room is practically a green light to practice voyeurism).
Take the Giant Highway for Non-Stop Views at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline
The Point Pinole Regional Shoreline owes its existence to explosives. More than a hundred years ago, black powder was produced in San Francisco for use in the gold mines of the Sierras. After numerous factory explosions, the manufacture of such substances was deemed too dangerous for populated areas and the companies were exiled to the East Bay – Albany, El Cerrito, and Point Pinole.
Sweat SF: Everything You Need To Know About Burn Pilates
Burn SF staffers readily admit that their studios can be, in a word, "daunting." The room's floor is covered in mats, with a narrow runway down the center. The walls are covered in what the savvy might already know are pilates springboards, but to the rest of us look like something straight out of The Armory, with their multitude of straps, belts, and devices. But don't worry! That weird-looking board is actually your friend, there to help you get a terrifically fun and adaptable workout.

I'm optimistic about the series. If Disney gets the right director and script then Star Wars may be great again. Lucas seemed to lose his zeal in the prequals, or had too much control.
He lost his zeal and replaced it with stubborn adherence to awful ideas. I think the original movies were more a product of someone keeping him in check and vetoing flagrantly awful ideas.
But I agree. I'm very optimistic now.

In a world where the digital era has changed the way many industries do business, the fresh produce industry has not been immune. Fresh produce marketers currently face the reality that their consumer and buyer audiences are often seeking similar information and in the same place: online. The expanding demands of reaching and influencing both buyers and consumers at the same time and in the same place can leave marketers feeling overwhelmed and resorting to building a bigger megaphone and "shouting" until they reach everyone with their message.
The truth is, although marketing strategies for B2B and B2C are becoming less distinct for fresh produce marketers, there is one marketing mindset we need to have in order to be the most relevant online resource for the products you grow, ship and/or sell – PRESENT.
For example, if you grow carrots, focus on being THE resource for fresh carrots in the digital space, whether it's in branded packaging or a private label. You may not be able to sell your carrots in every retailer in the US, but you can be sure that you are a reliable and present resource on "carrots" for people seeking information on this topic. Information seekers may be buyers at a regional retail chain looking for a new carrots supplier, or they may be a millennial searching for a show-stopping side dish recipe to bring to Thanksgiving. When you consider that no matter who the information seeker is, as long as you are the result for having the carrots information – you are in a positive position.

Dash Point State Park 10K and Half-Marathon Trail Run

Dash Point State Park is a 398-acre camping park in the Pacific Northwest with 3,300 feet of saltwater shoreline on Puget Sound.

The upper trails of the park have beautiful views of Maury and Vashon Islands, the Olympic Mountains, and spectacular sunsets.
The Start/Finish area has many stations for picnic and BBQ, and it is right by a nice long stretch of sandy beach. This is a great location to bring out the whole family for a fun day by the water. The trails at this park are non-technical, cushy and well maintained, and it is an excellent place to use your minimalist shoes if you so desire. We took some photos of the beach, the picnic area and the trails a few years ago and you can find the shots here.
We offer 10K and Half-Marathon (13.1 miles) distances. There will be plenty of aid stations and the courses are well marked with signs at intersections. As always, there will be a good selection of grub at the Finish to fuel you up.

Read about how we keep the races green here.
We are dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors, and we encourage you to "leave no trace behind" by taking all trash with you. The park rangers always appreciate it when racers follow the marked course and keep the trails clean, and they are much more likely to grant permission for us to put on races at the same location if the trails are kept in good condition.
The trails will be open to other users during the event such as hikers and mountain bikers. Please be courteous, you will unlikely encounter more than a few. Please let other participants pass you if they want to get by. It is a passing runner's job to tell the person in front that they wish to pass.
For refunds/cancellations please see our policy.
Photos and results from trail runs previously held can be found on the photos page and results page respectively.
Also check out photos from a course scouting trip in July 2011 for a look of the sandy beach, the picnic areas and trails.

I've played on countless stages with orchestras, ensembles and bands. I can show you what it takes to get it done and be ready.
I love music! To me, it's a way of life. From listening to playing to writing and of course teaching. I grew up with music at school and home. My dad was a piano player and teacher so music has been a part of my life since day one and I want to share what I have learned. Everyone has a unique musical talent and I enjoy helping them find it. I believe that anyone can be an excellent musician. Playing an instrument should be a fun and creative adventure. Whether it's strumming at home, playing out in the clubs, or writing the next big hit, I will do my best to get you there!
My musical life began when I was in 5th grade and my dad bought me a saxophone, which I played for over 10 years. I quickly learned how fast I could improve if I simply kept playing. When I hit my ...

I'm a piano major student at the Cleveland Institute of Music and was a student teacher at the Victoria Conservatory for three years. I performed at many piano competitions and won countless awards. I am teaching many students and they are enjoying my piano lessons because I'm really experienced and patient. I love working with different ages of people. I sometimes hold solo recitals in South Korea and Canada.
Hello, my name is Sooji L. I'm from Seoul, South Korea.
At the Victoria Conservatory of Music, when teachers were away, I helped their students with technical difficulties, musicianship, and basic music theory. I helped them to get higher grades, and some of them got distinction, which is the grade above 90%. I also helped them to win prices in piano competitions.
I was frequently asked to perform at the "Saturday noon concerts" in which I played variety of works for the audience. I had several solo recitals. In addition to being a solo performer, I was a member of "The Collegium," which is a chamber group responsible for raising gifted musicians.

The Kellogg Company has announced that, to celebrate Pop-Tarts' 50th anniversary, it will stage several concerts as part of their "Crazy Good Summer."
The company contends that, "For 50 years, teens have been toasting to 'Crazy Good' mornings with Pop-Tarts toaster pastries."
Actually, "crazy good" is a new phrase in American jargon, certainly unheard of 50 years ago. Teenagers are not the only people who eat Pop-Tarts, but maybe they will dominate Kellogg's "Crazy Good Summer" concerts, featuring Demi Lovato, Jasmine V, Emblem3 and Austin Mahone.
According to Kellogg's and other websites, the "nutrition" labels on Pop-Tarts usually list 30 to 35 ingredients (I counted them), with high fructose corn syrup, other corn syrup and dextrose high on the list.
Early Sunday morning, animal rights activists began a spate of violence against Berkeley's Star Grocery on Claremont Avenue by throwing a rock through a window. According to ABC News, the attack, allegedly by a group called "Bite Back," was to protest the fact that, while the grocery store's butchers say they carry humanely raised and organic meat, the animals have still been killed and butchered to sell to carnivores. The FBI even showed up because they had been tracking "Bite Back."
I suspect that using violence to combat violence runs contrary to the beliefs of the Pappas family, owners of Star Grocery. My mother used to tell me that during and after World War II, current owner Nick Pappas' father "carried" anyone in Berkeley who was short of cash and needed food on charge accounts, written in little receipt books. "Mr. Pappas" told me it took some of them decades to pay off their debts, but everyone did, and most of those old Berkeley families remain loyal to Star Grocery. Even in Berkeley.
Sonoma Gaydar hosts a "Party with the Ravens" tonight, Friday, Aug. 8, in the Ravenswood Winery tasting room, nestled privately just a tad up the hill from Sonoma. Meet new or old friends and enjoy Ravenswood's zinfandels, small lot white wines, rosés and moscatos, along with local artisan cheese and charcuterie, and one glass of wine. Bottles of wine will be available at 15 percent discount or 30 percent for those who join Ravenswood's wine club on the spot. $20. 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. 18701 Gehricke Road, Sonoma. Contact email@example.com or at 933-2336 for required reservations.
I love Williams-Sonoma's banner over their new/old store saying "Williams-Sonoma Re-opening Fall, 2014." Let's see, that would be re-opening nearly 60 years after Chuck Williams moved from his first store, next to the Sonoma post office, to San Francisco.
I bumped into Williams-Sonoma's CEO and president at Peet's recently, and she was off "to check on our new store." Hopefully, they will be ready to open Oct. 2, Chuck Williams' 99th birthday.
Café LaHaye owner Saul Gropman spent a week in France on the set of Helen Mirren's new blockbuster movie, "The Hundred Foot Journey." His brother, David Gropman, was the set designer, and previously received Academy Award nominations for his work on "Life of Pi" and "Cider House Rules."
Saul arrived in Cayucac sur Ver, outside Toulouse, just as the rain started to pour, which led to the scene where Helen Mirren is shielded by an umbrella. According to Saul, the directors wanted to stop filming and she insisted they go ahead in the rain. Apparently, co-producer Oprah Winfrey arrived just after Saul left, but his brother appeared on "Entertainment Tonight" with Winfrey.
Bruce Riezenman is excited to have "finally" opened his Park 121 After-Hours Pizza & Empanada Kitchen at Cornerstone Gardens yesterday, Thursday, Aug. 7.This should be a great place to stop on your way home or after wine tasting, and dine there or pick up delish wood-fired pizzas, large house-made empanadas, salumi and antipasto platters, big cookies and brownies and beverages. ($5 to $15.95) 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday "every week while the sunshine and warm weather last." 793-9645.
Jeanne Pinsof, daughter of part-time Sonomans Donna and Leslie Pinsof, enjoyed a Chicago Tribune front page teaser to an inside story on her and her Organic Gardener company and its accomplishments. Many of us had the pleasure of spending time with Jeanne when she was here to visit her parents, visit Berkeley's Edible Schoolyard and have lunch at Alice Water's Chez Panisse.
Sondra Bernstein hosted an extremely informative artisan beef tasting at her Suite D, put on by Carrie Oliver of the Artisan Beef Institute and Kristine Beck of Twisted Horn Ranch, where she and her husband raise Longhorn cattle. The tastes of beef were extraordinary, with various levels of fat, tenderness and flavor.
Carrie Oliver has set out to establish "The Provenance of Beef," hoping people will taste and respect beef as they do wine. Her "mission" is "to create a new language for beef, like wine has its own" (sometimes overdone) descriptors, such as raspberry, cigar box and chocolate flavors for wine.
As a self-described "beef geek," Oliver says the impact of marbling on the flavor of cooked beef is only 5 percent. Various speakers explained that what influences taste and tenderness are the breed of cattle, the feed it eats, such as native grasses, the rancher, and the butcher. Stress effects beef just as it does grapes and even people.
After tasting samples grilled by Suite D chefs from True Grass Farms, Open Space Meats, Sonoma Natural Beef and Twisted Horn, we indulged in a family-style meal of grilled peach salad, wood-fire roasted chicken, Twisted Horn Longhorn beef, Butterball potatoes, skillet blistered Padron peppers, grilled garden veggies, sliced Heirloom tomatoes with Balsamic drizzle, mini desserts and gelato. To hear about such events, get on the girl & the fig's "fig bits" newsletter email list. Thegirlandthefig.com.
Ingrid Martinez plans to close her successful Changing Seasons Gallery at West Napa and First Street West soon. Since she owns the Feed Store building, she and her husband have decided to re-direct her gallery time to traveling and enjoying each other. Sounds good to me.
Upcoming food and wine events:
B. R. Cohn Winery will host a "Lobster Feed & Gator Beats" and pre-party barrel tasting on Sunday, Aug. 17, in the winery's Picholine olive grove.
Gator Nation will play zydeco beats while you enjoy an old-fashioned lobster throw-down, prepared by Lobster King John Sorensen and crew from Napa Valley. Sorenson's lobster feeds are dramatic and delicious. I have watched the order in which they put the feast in the large pots of boiling water, starting with artichokes and building up to the lobster itself. $100 public or $75 for wine club members. Barrel tasting 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Lobster feed 1 to 4 p.m., rain or shine. Tickets at 931-7933 or at brcohn.com.
Sondra Bernstein and her Suite D have two sipping and dining opportunities coming up.
You can taste Campovida wines from Hopland on Thursday, Aug. 21, along with appys of salumi cones, panisse fries and heirloom radishes, followed by a dinner of paella with seafood, a deconstructed fig salad, chicken thighs with ratatouille and crispy potatoes, a cheese selection, and panna cotta with grilled peaches. $85, $75 for Campovida wine club members. 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Possibly one of the most fun winemaker events anywhere will be a Kale Winemaker BBQ & Ping Pong at Suite D, with live music by the Sow Belly Trio, photography by Suzanne Becker Bronk, girl & the fig passed nibbles from the kitchen, antipasti with mano formate charcuterie and salumi "brisket from the old country slow roasted pork ribs," kale salad (pun intended), mac 'n' cheese with baked Rancho Gordo beans and bacon, and a buffet of miniature desserts. All this plus Napa's Kale wines from Kick Ranch, Alder Springs and Stagecoach Vineyards, plus ping pong. Hence, only room for 40 guests. $75. 21800 Schellville Road, Suite D., Sonoma Reserve Suite D tickets via eventbrite.com.
Jacuzzi Family Vineyards offers a "Some Like It Hot" summer barbecue on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 23. Expect wine tasting from the barrels and bottles, extra virgin olive oil tasting, and winemaker for both Cline Cellars and Jacuzzi, Charlie Tsegeletos.
Alex's Catering will make heirloom tomato salad Caprese, grilled vegetables, mac 'n' cheese, grilled chicken breasts, grilled tri tip with chimichurri and horseradish crème fraîche, focaccia and artisan breads, and frozen delights made from Jacuzzi Moscato wines. The Caroompas Quartet will sing songs from the 1950s to 2000s, with emphasis on vocal harmonies and dance-ability. It all takes place in the piazza and barrel room of Jacuzzi and The Olive Press, both built by Nancy and Fred Cline to honor his grandfather, Valeriano Jacuzzi. $75. Noon to 4 p.m. 24737 Arnold Dr., Sonoma. Tickets at jacuzzifamilyvineyards.com.
Valley of the Moon Music Festival, whose musical wonders some of us got to experience first at the home of Kimberly and Simon Blattner, performed last weekend at their new home at Hanna Boys Center.
This is an extremely accomplished group, who specialize in instruments from at least a century ago, and intermingle explanations of the instruments' histories with elegant music and fun. We can look forward to a full music festival next summer.
Eric Zivian and Derek Tam played fortepiano, Tanya Tomkins played cello, and Joseph Maile brought his violin to life.
Among those soaking up the sounds in Hanna's fine acoustics were the Blattners, Antoinette Khoury and Tom Haueser, Vanessa Robledo and her daughter Jocelyn, Carolyn and Bob Stone, Fred and Barbara White-Perry, George and Buffy Miller, Michael Wood, Joan Riebli, Carole and Bob Nicholas, Christy and John Coulston, Harriet and Randy Derwingson, and Nancy Ramsey and Rusty Schweikart.
Stone Edge Farm celebrated the completion of Silver Cloud, high atop Cavedale Road Saturday, with a fabulous luncheon cooked by culinary director John McReynolds from his prize-winning cookbook.

A Dog Runs Into The Ocean Wearing A Go Pro Hero 3[VIDEO]
Ah, to live the carefree life of a dog for just one day!
Ah, to live the carefree life of a dog for just one day!
Ever wondered what Michael Jackson would sound like singing the theme to Sesame Street?
We are out of TP!!!
Watch this and try not to laugh...I dare ya.
Could this BE any cooler?
Ever since "Friends" signed off in 2004, there has been constant talk of a reunion and last night "Jimmy Kimmel Live" made that happen...sorta.
Jennifer Aniston was a guest and Kimmel told her that he loved the show so much that he used the opportunity to write a sketch to act out with the ladies from the show
Next time you take a selfie, beware!
I slit a sheet, I sheet I slit...say that fast ten times.
Shop the East Hiils Mall, but if they start rapping and singing, run for the east hills.
Let's face it, sometimes local television commercials are just plain bad. "Come Join The Paaaaaaaaaaarty" comes to mind
Milk, eggs, bread...
A guy dared his friend to be a moron...he accepted.
It goes without saying that you should never light off fireworks in your pants, because I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume that it hurts like hell

Nipsey Hussle - 2 Good For Me
Artist: Nipsey Hussle
Producer: Scott Storch
Album: Bullets Ain't Got No Name 3 Mixtape
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 16 votes )
So many hard-nosed emcees turn to doormats when it comes time to write that ladies' jam, filling their verses with mushy expressions of undying devotion and offering fabulously expensive gifts as if love were some kind of game show. Booth favorite Nipsey Hussle, however, is cut from a different cloth—though the Slauson boy is willing and able to provide for a lady, he's not about to bend over backwards for a woman who doesn't recognize him for the prize he is. Not that Hussle's self-assurance is unwarranted—if he's got Sade singing, "Sometimes I think you're just 2 Good For Me," he must be a catch. Over Scott Storch's sample of the sultry songstress' '85 hit, The Sweetest Taboo, the West Coast emcee delivers some of the most inspired rhymes I've heard from him to date, spitting uniquely poetic couplets like "My body is a house, she put her mouth on my basement/taste a picture, paint a thousand words in body language." Showcasing an intriguingly different side of the emcee, this record's got me wondering what surprises Hussle has in store for his Bullets Ain't Got No Name 3 mixtape and his Booth-exclusive freestyle (both coming this summer).

The Virginia baseball team pounded out a season-high 22 hits in a 17-8 win over Duke Saturday afternoon at Davenport Field. With the win, the Cavaliers earn their seventh ACC series win in nine tries.
The 22-hit barrage was Virginia's most hits in a game since the Cavaliers racked up 28 hits in a 27-4 victory at Maryland on April 23, 2010.
Eleven Virginia batters recorded hits, including all nine starters. Mike Papi went 4-for-4, scored three times and drove in four as he upped his NCAA-best on base percentage to .545. Brandon Downes, Reed Gragnani, Joe McCarthy and Kenny Towns each had three hits.
UVa starting pitcher Scott Silverstein went five innings to earn the win and improve to 8-1 on the year. He allowed six earned runs, seven hits and three walks while fanning three. Four Cavalier relievers worked an inning each to seal the win.
Virginia scored in each of the first five innings and six of its eight trips to the plate. UVa eclipsed its season high for hits in a game in just four innings, racking up 18 to take a commanding 15-1 lead.
UVa's 22 hits were the most hits of any ACC team in conference play this year. The 'Hoos go for the series sweep at 1 p.m. Sunday. Senior Day ceremonies will be held prior to the Sunday contest at 12:30 p.m.; UVa will honor six fourth- and fifth-year student-athletes as well as a manager Taylor Myers.

Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez + Taylor Swift Have a Lonely Girls Club and Ellen DeGeneres Wants to Fix That [VIDEO]
Selena Gomez infamously split from Justin Bieber and bragged about making him cry, but she kept it classy when Ellen DeGeneres asked her about the breakup this week.
You can thank Brad Pitt and Taylor Swift for that.
Selena Gomez + Justin Bieber Slated to Present at Radio Disney Awards
2013 MTV Movie Awards Red Carpet Photos
The 2013 MTV Movie Awards took place tonight (April 14), with plenty of pop stars on hand to party and bro down with the actors and actresses who were celebrated at the event. Selena Gomez was golden and utterly gorgeous in a mini dress, tossing her hair into a sexy, messy fishtail braid, while the always unpredictable Kesha channeled her inner goth hippie. Check out the red carpet fashions, which were much more dialed down than your typical awards show, like the VMAs or the Grammys, since this was a casual, cool and fun night, and not nearly as formal.
Selena Gomez Celebrates 'Come + Get It' Leak + Crashes Ryan Seacrest's Site [VIDEO]
Lots of artists get super upset when their music leaks early -- will.i.am scrapped an entire album's worth of material when that happened to the original go of '#willpower!' But Selena Gomez is not one of those artists.
The bubbly Disney alum was actually stoked when her hotly hyped single 'Come + Get It' leaked, and she celebrated with a video for her Selenators.
Justin Timberlake, Selena Gomez Get Swatted
Hot on the heels of Rihanna being swatted, Justin Timberlake and Selena Gomez are the latest celebs to have law enforcement descend on their homes due to a 911 call about crimes being committed at the residences. The thing is the calls are fake, placed under the auspices of a hacking ring as a prank -- and we use that term on the loose.
Justin Bieber's Monkey Is Fine, But He Isn't. And It's All Selena Gomez's Fault.
Justin Bieber has been spiraling pretty publicly lately, but it's totally not his fault. In fact, the only person to blame for his actions is ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. Because obviously.
Bieber Refuses Selena's Shade
Selena Gomez seemingly won't turn down any invitation to diss her ex Justin Bieber in the press or public eye, but that doesn't mean he's going to follow suit.
The Canadian phenom, who is arguably one of the main reasons anyone knows Gomez's name outside of the Disney universe, is taking the high road, even if it gives him a nosebleed.
Jimmy Fallon and Selena Gomez Perform a Geeky Duet on 'Mario Kart Love Song'
Adding another covered tune to his list of many, 'Late Night' host Jimmy Fallon decided to perform a duet with last night's guest Selenz Gomez. Their choice? The beloved 'Mario Kart Love Song.'
Selena Gomez Lovably Disses Justin Bieber on 'The Late Show With David Letterman' [VIDEO]
Selena Gomez has been taking passive aggressive digs at Justin Bieber since they first broke up, and she kept the momentum going with her Monday night interview on 'The Late Show With David Letterman,' where she and the adorably gap-toothed host poked fun at her ex's misery.
And this time instead of doing a lame dance, Gomez was actually charming and funny.

C1: Africa Research Cluster
Team leads: Robin Bloch and Alan Mabin
Team Members and geographic areas:
(a) Alan Mabin, Alison Todes, and Robin Bloch (Johannesburg and the Gauteng City Region, South Africa);
(b) Alison Todes (Durban/ eThekwini, South Africa);
(c) Alan Mabin and W Kombe, Ardhi University (Dar es Salaam, Tanzania);
(d) George Owusu, Robin Bloch, plus Felix Hammond and Issaka Ndekugri, University of Wolverhampton (Accra, Ghana and Tema, the adjoining metropolitan area).
Research Context, Methods and Goals:
The African context is one of an urban population now as large as that of north America or Europe, and this regional cluster will bring the study of African suburbanisation into the same intellectual arena as that of other continents. Following Ekers, Hamel and Keil (2010), suburbanisation is here understood as 'the combination of non-central population and economic growth with urban spatial expansion'. In the immense variety of African urbanisms, the cluster is exploring what forms 'suburbs' and peripheries in general, take in various African contexts, including spaces which concentrate new economic activities, zones of middle and upper income residence, the meaning of informality of building, land markets and social activity, and the various elements of what is often termed 'urban sprawl'. The key theme is rapid growth of cities into new spaces and forms, with interest in the main trends with regard to this growth, what the drivers of growth are, and how it is shaped (or not) by policy and institutional mechanisms that try to direct urban growth (and the reality of what happens in practice). The case studies will focus on key actors involved in African suburban growth and the creation of African suburbanisms, and the ways they influence it (property developers, landowners, traditional authorities, administrators; households of different types; politicians). Life in the suburbs and visions of the future will receive attention.
Current Activities:
In Year 1, a literature review on African suburbanisms (Butcher, Mabin and Bloch) was presented inter alia at RC21 in Amsterdam. The intersection of the Africa Cluster with the Govermance cluster also produced a review and discussion paper on Africa's new suburbs (Bloch). In addition, in September 2011, a workshop to plan the 'case study' and 'vantage point' research on suburbs and suburbanization in several African cities was held in Cape Town.
This workshop will prepare us for Years 2 and 3, when we will conduct detailed case studies of current growth and development in selected cities and regions. Oriented by the Global Suburbanisms perspective and the jointly established African research agenda, we will focus on the process of land development and its governance on the urban periphery, as driven by large scale economic, social and cultural dynamics. Researchers will analyze how landowners, investors, real estate developers, planners and regulators—public and private—collude, collaborate and, occasionally, are in conflict in developing new suburban settlements and suburban ways of life.
The studies comprise: (a) Johannesburg and other cities in the Gauteng City Region (Pretoria/Tshwane, East Rand/Ekurhuleni), South Africa (Mabin, Todes, Bloch); (b) Durban/ eThekwini, South Africa (Todes); (c) Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (Mabin and Kombe, Ardhi University); (d) Accra, Ghana and Tema, the adjoining metropolitan area (Owusu, Bloch, plus Felix Hammond and Issaka Ndekugri, University of Wolverhampton). Some comparisons will be drawn with North America and India (Harris and Mabin).

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Mapping the Equivocal
Robert Henry Contemporary is pleased to present Mapping the Equivocal featuring the work of Phillip Buntin, Derek Lerner and Robert Walden.
A map is a representation of space or place, or of phenomena as they exist in space. They project a three-dimensional space on a 2-D plane, usually much smaller than the actual space being mapped. The best maps are often considered to be the most accurate ones, however, the assumptions, intentions, biases and preferences of the mapmaker subjectify every map. Maps convey nonlinear and simultaneous knowledge. In a single glance a viewer can tell what's going on over the whole map at a single moment in time, a Gestalt. The three artists in this exhibition use what could be considered "thematic maps" to explore ideas related to hermeneutics, biology, environmental degradation and ontology.

Originally written on The Crazy Crabbers | Last updated 11/18/14
Gary Brown is one of the Giants top prospects, and is the potential center fielder of the future. After destroying pitching in High A San Jose, he ran into a bit of a wall in AA Richmond. This morning Baseball Prospectus has him as their prospect profile (for free!). It's a nice little glimpse into what has been going on with him if you haven't been following his goings on very closely. Here is the introduction: Fifteen months ago Gary Brown was viewed by many as an elite prospect, destined to lose Gold Gloves to inferior defenders and lead the Giants to the Promised Land. People were amazed that 23 players were selected before Brown in the 2010 draft. When teams would inquire on Brown, the Giants would show reluctance to part with him to shore up their club in the short term. Many expected him to make it to the majors quickly and become the team's center fielder of both the present and future. #Mets had asked #SFGiants for RHP Wheeler or OF Brown. Not ge...

Gordon Rammer and Fernando Nielsen were on vacation together. They ordered up some food and were out on the balcony when they decided to make a move on the room service guys. The room service guys fell to their knees and started sucking on the guys cocks. They called up a couple of their friends, Ramone and Miles and let them join in the fun. Dinner quickly turned into a cocks sucking party of the first order with guys all over the room sucking cock and fucking each other. Everyone blew everyone else and soon all the guys were shooting hot loads all over each other.

Opolje or Opoja (Albanian: Opoja; Serbian: Опоље, Opština Opolje) is northern region of the municipality of Dragaš in the southernmost part of Kosovo, with Gora being the southern region of Dragaš.
Opolje comprises 19 villages with a population of 30,000 (including Dragaš). Its population is almost exclusively of Albanian ethnicity, whereas the population of the Gora region to the south includes a large Gorani minority. Only the town of Dragaš has a mixed ethnicity.
Originally Opolje and Gora were separate municipalities, but they were merged into the municipality of Dragaš by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). Serbia has not officially recognized this act. Opolje is part of the District of Prizren.

I logged onto the terminal server today, noticed it was a bit sluggish. I took a look at the task list and saw that there were several IE sessions taking up a fair chunck of CPU between them and a large amount of RAM too (See attached)
I shadowed one or two of the sessions and noticed that they were all using BBC Bitesize, specifically the flash games. Has anyone noticed the same? Have you managed to get round it?
I suspect that uninstalling the flash player on this thing would lead to me getting gutted in the playground so please don't suggest that :P
