Release date: September 9, 2009
Kookii espresso set, designed by Fellina Sok-Cham, $45
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's (SFMOMA) MuseumStore is the premier destination for holiday shopping. Drawing on the finest local talent as well as top international designers, the MuseumStore offers a wide array of the best in contemporary jewelry and accessories, housewares, cocktail wares, and children's gifts, in addition to boasting the Bay Area's most comprehensive collection of art and design books. From items priced at less than $10 to limited-edition collectibles, the SFMOMA MuseumStore's selection provides myriad gift possibilities to delight both the giver and the receiver. The following are highlights of gifts for the 2009 holiday season.
Cocktail Wares
For the perfect host, elegant and modern Italian stainless-steel cocktail forks ($40) feature a different geometric shape or subtle design detail, making each unique and easy to identify for guests of any occasion. They also make excellent picks for seafood.
Stylish and sustainable, the bamboo fruit bowl ($34) is made from bamboo grown without pesticides or fertilizer and is perfect for serving fruit and nuts. Coated with four layers of lacquer that is applied by an intensive rotation of water and dry sanding.
Made of food-safe, pharmaceutical-grade polymer, the handsome 16-ounce Govino stemless wine glasses ($12 for set of four) are shatterproof, reusable, and recyclable. No leaching will alter the body and aroma of the wine, and a handy thumb notch makes it comfortable to hold—a perfect complement to a picnic or casual cocktail party.
Anyone for a Scotch on the rocks? Whisky Stones ($20 for a set of nine) are made from natural soapstone in Vermont by craftsmen in the oldest soapstone workshop in the United States. The stones are nonporous and will impart neither flavor nor odor. Smoother than ice, Whisky Stones can be used to cool down your favorite spirit just enough to take the edge off without losing the flavor.
What's a cocktail party without a cheese platter? The Wave Cheese Knife Set ($40) is perfect to serve that artisan cheese. Already gift boxed, the knives are made of polished stainless steel with ergonomic handles.
For the kitchen, the MuseumStore offers a selection of gifts for cooking, serving, and all around entertaining.
Specially designed for SFMOMA's Rooftop Coffee Bar is the new holiday-red Heath Ceramic Espresso Cup and Saucer Set ($58 for a set of two). The cup is a smaller version of the classic shape created by the late ceramicist Edith Heath, with a solid handle that is a departure from the usual espresso cup. Catherine Bailey, co-owner of Heath Ceramics, developed the sculptural design with Heath Ceramics designer Christina Zamora, SFMOMA Rooftop Garden architect Mark Jensen, and Blue Bottle Coffee Company owner James Freeman.
Another option for the coffee lover is the Kookii Espresso Set ($45). Winner of the Ecole Bleue design competition, this unique set includes a natural bamboo tray and six porcelain espresso cups, each with its own bamboo saucer and stainless steel spoon. In puzzle-like fashion, the spoons fit into the cups and the saucers slide into the tray.
The Officeoriginair Herb Garden ($45) is the ideal vessel for homegrown or store-bought herbs. Designed to fit pots of all shapes and sizes, the herb garden sits perfectly on any windowsill or countertop and the handy scissor pocket makes snipping fresh herbs easy—ideal for any recipe.
To serve salt and pepper, the MuseumStore offers two unique options. The Boogie Woogie Salt and Pepper Shakers ($32 each) by Murken Hansen are surprisingly original and impossible to resist. With a stylish tumbler-shaped body made of anodized aluminum and large, elegant wheels the Boogie Woogie Shakers are ready to spice up any dinner as they roll to guests around the table. Alternately, the Balance Salt and Pepper Set ($32) by Woody Hsieh includes a smooth, white, stonelike salt shaker, a rugged-surface pepper shaker, and a base that also functions as a bowl for oil, sauces, or condiments—a fitting complement to any Zen-inspired table setting.
For the consummate entertainer, the MuseumStore offers a selection of Teak Candle Holders ($22–$28) by Bahari. Made from plantation-grown Indonesian teak and certified by the U.S. Department of Forestry, insuring sustainable farming practices, each curvaceous candle holder is hand turned, and no two are exactly alike. Whether used individually or together, these will add a dramatic effect to any table.
The vintage design–lover in the family will enjoy the ScandiPhone ($65), offered in both black and red. Based on the unique upright phone introduced in Europe in the mid-1950s, its unusual one-piece design is a fine example of form and function in harmony. It features elegant nostalgic styling, push-button dialing, adjustable volume, and a standard phone plug.
The Cupstack Lamp ($99) is inspired by the irregular stacking of cups and bowls. The asymmetrical, dynamic form is scaled perfectly to add a sculptural accent of light to any surface. Created by by San Francisco–based designer Eric Pfeiffer, the Cupstack Lamp is handcrafted using mouth-blown glass.
Made in San Francisco by Christine Schmidt, the Yellow Owl Stamp sets ($30) feature a set of five molded natural rubber stamps that are hand mounted on reclaimed maple blocks and housed in a beautiful birch storage box. Choose from cityscapes, landscapes, or seascapes; ink pads not included.
Not your grandfather's domino set, a sleek, glossy, black-and-transparent-crystal domino set takes the game to a new height of sophistication. Designed by Selab, the set retails for $90—a perfect gift for the gamer in the family.
Jewelry and Accessories
The MuseumStore offers a stunning and unique assortment of jewelry sure to make a statement at even the most stylish seasonal gatherings. Selections include the Zipper Circles Necklaces ($18–$42) and Ring ($20) by Doris Viñas, who works with simple shapes such as circles, lines, and spirals to form the basic elements of her jewelry. Each piece is unique and completely formed and made by hand in Argentina.
Also from Argentina is designer Lili Nemirovsky. Each of her pieces is individually handmade in Murano glass using the ancient Venetian flame-working technique. Her glass necklace on black fabric retails for $165 with matching earrings for $35.
The perfect gift for the jewelry lover in the family is the Tuck Box ($28) by Lawrence Chu. This simple felt-lined bamboo cube swivels open to reveal three storage areas—great for jewelry, desk supplies, or other personal treasures.
Children's Products
In the children's area, the MuseumStore features gifts such as the Pile On Game ($45). Designed by Mamoru Fukui, Daimon Kanno and Yuta Fuki, this chic game features a set of nine multisided blocks that are handmade using assorted wood offcuts. Create your own challenge by stacking the blocks in any arrangement. Fun for kids and adults alike.
Also available are Doodle Dolls by Merav Flam ($48). Available in Superhero or Fairy, Doodle Dolls can be scribbled on for creative and challenging projects. They come in a cardboard box with a set of permanent markers to create a lifelong keepsake.
For the stylish yet messy eaters, the MuseumStore offers the Tidy Bib ($10). Designed by Built NY, this bib is waterproof, drool-proof, and milk-proof. Soft and absorbent, it features a waterproof under layer and is stain resistant.
Another children's gift as practical as it is entertaining is the Mobile Calculator ($45) by Yuento. Designed on the premise that most people have become adept at tapping away on mobile phone keys, this clever calculator has the shape and key layout of a mobile phone and can be operated with one hand or even just a thumb. It is slim and lightweight and also displays the current time. Available in black, green, or white.
Revenue from SFMOMA's MuseumStore supports the museum's renowned exhibitions and educational programs. The MuseumStore has two locations: at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 151 Third Street, and at the departure level in the SFO International Terminal.

out since a few days and unfortunately it is still full of bugs
It keeps failing, pakage actualisation is erratic, ktorrent uses 100% of CPU, some gets graphical problems under some nvidia GPU, installation is unreliable (done two similar with different results, sound is not too good for me (intel_HDA) had to play a bit in various areas of kde pulse....And all this with a clean install (don't event think of an upgrade from older version)
good sides: the parts that work are fast!.
I'd advise no to upgrade to this one at the moment but rather wait a few weeks to have the bugs solved...it seems to me that I've been forced to be a beta tester and I don't like it much!
the errata page is BIG and there are much more than what is written...
so, for this one, so far : my verdict is so far not too good!!!

I'd like to run/hike from Whitney Portal/Peak to Kearsarge Pass/Onion Valley in under 24 hours. Does this sound like fun to you? It's about 50 miles, 25K in total up/down, all over 8K elev., most over 11K elev. There's a full moon on Aug 25, might be a good time. Other cool option would be North Lk/ South Lk loop, 54 mi. Jeff "Cacade"
Well the full moon has come and gone, but the Sierras are still there and so is my desire to run on the JMT. I'd be open to other suggestions if anyone has an interest. The North Lk-South Lk loop sounds interesting. Any thoughts?Jeff
I'm up for this sort of trip but I'm currently building back up after an injury; I probably need another 2 months for that mileage...likely too late to beat Sierra snow.Where do you live?
This run/hike is on my list although it will have to wait till next season since I'm pretty busy with other projects.I was thinking Onion Valley (Kearsarge) to Whitney, but either wat works fine.Red's Meadow to TuolumneThis is another nice one and a bit shorter just to see if you're up to the longer trip you mentioned.30-34 miles depending on route.Absolutely beautiful country.If you finish at Tuolumne before 6pm there is a really nice bus ride back to Mammoth for only about $10 (but check the schedule, bus stops after Labor Day I think).If you get to Tuolumne before 5pm, the Grill has tasty burgers, fries, and beer.
A while back I did Onion Valley to Whitney Portal in about 36 hours; that was hiking it with a 20 lb. pack, stopping to eat lunch, taking pictures, etc. I spent the night on the north slope of Forester.I've always wanted to go back to run this stretch in a day, definitely doable with a little more training and less load. At the moment I'm only good for ~50K.One shorter run I've thought about doing soon was Onion Valley to Road's End. How to shuttle is an issue with this one though...
Edited by xnomanx on 08/29/2010 18:40:19 MDT.
Onion Valley to Road's End is simple, by comparison.The last time that I did this, we had a good organization. First, three strong hikers drove to Road's End and left their car there. They hiked up and over to Onion Valley on Day 1. I was part of a team of four, and we drove to Onion Valley on Day 1. The team of three showed up on foot just after sunset. Early on Day 2, the team of three drove our vehicle home from Onion Valley, and the team of four went up and over Kearsarge, ending up at Road's End around sunset, so we drove the first vehicle home that night. Obviously, going eastbound is a lot more work than going westbound, so you can divide up your group appropriately. You don't want to wait too late in the season to do this. September is good. Early October is good. By November, there is risk from a storm closing the passes for vehicles, and hiking could get problematic.--B.G.--
Art and Craig:Thanks for the response. Yeah, it's getting late in the year and work and injuries always play a factor. You've heard of section hiking the JMT? How about section running the JMT? You could almost go hut to hut like in the alps! :) The possibilities are almost endless. For instance, camp in Tuolomne, run to YValley, sleep in a tent cabin in Curry, run back to TM, run to Reds, free hot tub, run back to TM. Anyways, there's another full moon on Sept 22 I think. That might be the last good shot this year. Maybe next. Plenty of time to plan, and train then. :)
Jeff, have you ever sought professional psychiatric advice?Run out, run back, run out, run back...Your knees have only so many good miles in them, and then you will be running on the rims.--B.G.--
I think ultrarunning the Sierra is out for me this season- I can't see myself getting my act together for anything over a marathon in only a few weeks.I know it's a bit far off, but is anyone interested in getting together to run the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim in a day this coming spring? I was thinking late March/early April, hopefully beating crowds and heat but not too soon to deal with too much snow/ice at elevation.
My partner Tamas V. and I did a double crossing last October, 48 miles in 20 hours. Lots of fun till we hit the south wall, then sufferfest. I swore I'd never do it again. Now I'm thinkin about it, :)
Art:You seemed to imply that a shorter run might be a possibility. North Lk to Lamarck Col to Darwin Bench to Muir Pass to South Lk is significantly shorter, tho I've never been that route.
JeffI meant to imply a shorter run for you, not me.I have another project going that will trash me for a month. Late October may be late for the Sierras.CraigI did Grand Canyon Rim Rim Rim in early April 2009.I've been wanting to get back there and better my time. I am up for it at some point.

PJ: What were the major highlights of 2010, and what do you expect in 2011 regarding demand for your solutions across different territories and product modules?
CB: In 2010, we were able to build a business that has created a significant shift in the marketplace - both from a messaging and capability perspective. Our customer acquisition rate was unprecedented for this industry, and was global in nature. In 2011, we have expanded further into Europe and Latin America, and have seen a tremendous growth and demand for capabilities that extend beyond traditional spend analysis. We are meeting these requirements with continued innovation, positioning ourselves to remain the innovation leader in this space.
PJ: What were the major highlights and messages from your recent user conference?
CB: We repeatedly hear that customers are tired of the hype that spend analysis (and the related vendors) have promised, but never delivered. Our customers/users have been buzzing about the fact that we are finally delivering on the promise, and extending the value beyond what they initially considered spend analysis to be (i.e., to incorporate full spend management - everything from opportunity assessment to measuring the success of their cost reduction initiatives).
PJ: How are your major system integrator (SI) and other partnerships going?
CB: Initially, our primary strategy was to leverage partner channels for market growth. We have achieved tremendous success with that approach, and have now shifted to target direct sales as well. Partnering is an area in which we feel we excelled extremely well - probably better than any of our peers. It is also the reason for our unprecedented global growth.
While our technology partnerships are a tremendous source of customer acquisition, it is our consulting partnerships that have led to our significant global expansion. We are "the" go-to-market spend management solution for three of the world's largest consulting firms. They have replaced (globally) the previous spend management solutions they used, with Spend Radar. And what's even more impressive, is that two of these firms are now in the process of using Spend Radar to manage their internal spend globally. Having been in the space for over a decade, I know first-hand that this is unprecedented. We're extremely proud that we've accomplished this level of trust and success with our partners in such record time.
PJ: What is the breadwinning product and door-opener for Spend Radar? What is selling well?
CB: Although our customers don't ever necessarily have to use it, our Spend Radar Data Manager is the game-changing "door opener" for our company. It enables us to more rapidly, accurately and cost effectively manage our customer's spend and related information, and it is the accuracy and relevancy of the data behind the glossy reporting and analysis that is the true power behind effective cost management.
The Data Manager module also gives us the flexibility needed to grow with their business through our additional spend management modules such as Content Manager, Refresh Manager, and Performance Manager. That said, most of our customers rave about the ease of use and performance of our Spend Radar Reporting and Analysis tool. Once they see it, they're hooked.
PJ: What is your strategy towards social and E2.0 tools and roles-based user experience, and their deployment for your target customers?
CB: Our Spend Radar Performance Manager module offers independent user/role based configurations, combined with full-compliance monitoring by leveraging both internal and external content. The flexible architecture enables incorporation and/or distribution of information through both traditional and cutting edge social media applications. This is what allows us to extend beyond (and bridge) the E2.0 applications with real-world business use and insight, empowering category managers to fully manage and reduce costs.
PJ: What is your mobility strategy? Is mobility important in your software category?
CB: Mobility is a hot buzzword in the industry, which is why Spend Radar supports full mobility. That said, we have found that spend management can (and should) be segmented into two mobility use cases. On the one hand, there are category managers who use the details of the underlying data to make strategic business decisions.
On the other hand, there are management and executive personnel who use the summary information to provide status and reporting against targeted goals. Because of some of the inherent security issues with current mobility applications, we recommend that use of mobility be relegated to the later use case. This ensures that highly sensitive business data is not breached.
PJ: Although you won many new deals in 2010 and 2011, what issues/challenges are still keeping you up at night?
CB: Any successful company understands that their very success is what keeps them up at night. When you are successful, your competitors are gunning for you. So you have to continually find new ways to innovate and remain ahead of your competitors.
We have the fortune of being able to accomplish the success we have with minimal resources (due to the inherent/un-matched capabilities of our Data Manager module), so while we are constantly striving to be a leader, and create the "game-changing" path for our customers, we are also nimble and can manage and adapt to customer feedback and market change quickly. This is something that is difficult for the larger players to accomplish.
PJ: What is your message to companies where spend analysis is not the top pain? In other words, how do you compete with the broader spend management and/or enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite providers?
CB: In the current economic climate, we have not found many companies who are not keenly focused on managing spend. It used to be important, now it's mission critical. We don't often find ourselves competing with a "spend management" <OR> "ERP" decision. And because large ERP or full spend management platform deployments are so lengthy and costly, we've found that companies are eager to work with us because our solution is extremely rapid to deploy, does not require significant IT resource support, and provides return on investment (ROI) almost immediately. As such, it is much easier for them to sell internally the idea of a fast inexpensive solution that brings value significantly faster (and cheaper) than a behemoth ERP/spend management solution suite.
PJ: Are you at liberty to reveal anything on the company's future moves, i.e., new functional scope, verticals, etc.?
CB: Although our customer base is not relegated to any particular vertical or set of verticals, we've seemed to find that recently we have been acquiring a significant amount of customers in highly complex businesses. For example, the airline, insurance, pharmaceutical, and retail industries all have very complex spend data problems. And we've found that we're uniquely able to meet their requirements.
We also have found that unlike the "one-size-fits-all" approaches of our predecessors, our solution is uniquely capable of handling direct materials spend management. As such, we have gained several customers who are managing this highly business critical information within our platform - whereas previously, they couldn't find a solution flexible or accurate enough for this data/mission.

(USA TODAY) -- President Obama was impressed by a robot demonstration Thursday in Japan... impressed and maybe a little intimidated.
"We saw some truly amazing robots, although I have to say the robots were a little scary," Obama said after a program that included robots playing soccer.
"They were too lifelike," Obama said. "They were amazing."

We're always seeing pictures of everyone's four-legged, equine children. How about your two-legged, fur-free kids?
This is Madison, my beautiful 5 1/2 month old daughter. She's our little angel, our miracle baby. When I was about 22 weeks pregnant, my bloodwork came back abnormal. After an emergency ultrasound, the doctors discovered that she had gastroschisis, a condition in which the intestines did not retract back into her abdomen after they had finished forming outside of her little body.
From then on, I had to go in for ultrasounds, growth scans, and non-stress tests (NSTs) twice a week, every week until delivery. I was ordered by my OB to quit my job so I could stay at home and rest. I was also hospitalized on and off for the next few months because of low amniotic fluid levels, decelerations in her heartrate, and increased swelling in her exposed bowel.
At 35 weeks and 2 days, I went in for a routine appointment, and during the ultrasound, the doctors noticed what they thought was a loop in her bowel that had dilated to four times its width, compared to two days earlier. After the doctors discussed options with the pediatric surgeon, they told me, "Today's the day." I called my husband and he rushed over to the hospital.
Even though it wasn't part of our birth plan, I decided to go with a C-section so we could get her out and the surgeons could do whatever they had to do. She was born on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at 2:20 PM, weighing 4 lbs 11 oz. My husband was able to go down to the NICU to be with her, while the surgeons finished with me. As it turned out, it wasn't an intestinal loop that looked dilated in the ultrasound. Her intestines, gall bladder, ovaries, and stomach were all exposed, but our wonderful pediatric surgeon was able to place most of it back into her little tummy. At three days old, Maddy had major abdominal surgery to place the rest of her intestines back into her abdomen.
After four long weeks in the NICU, with a few setbacks, we were finally able to bring her home on June 9th. Today, her scar looks like an outtie bellybutton, she's a smiling, laughing baby girl, and the doctors call her the "poster child for gastroschisis."
Sorry for the novel, but I wanted to share why our Madison is so incredibly special to us. On to the pictures!

Issue 5.09 | Sep 1997
By Jon Carroll
|Archive Category:
On my last evening in Spokane, after I had wandered Riven's caves and forests, after I had turned a dozen animated valves and seen a dozen Mysterious thrones and eaten of the five-lobed fruit, after I had lingered under the winking planetarium in the basement lair of the creators of the caves and forests and valves and thrones one last time, after I had brooded about landscape and memory and constructed lonely theories on the deserted high-way; after all those things, I revisited the place where the story began again.
In the corner of a strip mall on the northern border of Spokane, Washington, stood a mattress store called Comfort World. The only sign of its former tenants was a distinctive blue trim that ran along the roof line, a sort of deep aqua that people who work with color might call cyan. I had been in that building one year before, when the company called Cyan had been occupying it. As tacky and ungainly as the building was, it was a step up from the old Cyan offices in the garage of the man named Chris Brandkamp. That garage (the walls of the conference room downstairs had been plastic, with tiny clattering space heaters that barely cut the chill - I could remember meetings in that office where all the participants looked as though they were about to mount the final push for the Pole) was in turn bigger and more luxurious than the basement of Robyn Miller's house, where Myst had been created. Myst was what kept me coming back to Spokane, Myst and its successor, Myst II (as it was called in the garage days) or Riven (as it is called today). Myst was the best story I had ever stumbled onto. It was an astonishing phenomenon, a computer game produced by some people in rural Washington, not near the Microsoft-shadowed Seattle but way over on the eastern edge of the state, near nothing else. And from this unlikely soil had sprung a game that topped the sales charts for years, a Mysterious nonviolent ruminative scary passionate CD-ROM experience like nothing the world had seen before.
When matched against, say, Vermeer or Melville, it wasn't much, but in the limited world of computer games, it was high art. It was Shakespeare. At the time I stood there in the parking lot, in May of this year, Myst had sold 3.5 million units. Figuring very conservatively, that meant something like US$20 million had rolled into tiny Cyan, not counting subsidiary rights, sundry accessories, book deals, and T-shirts.
And the story behind Myst was even stranger than these figures. Its creators were two brothers, Rand and Robyn Miller, evangelical Christians who lived in the literal backwoods of eastern Washington, in homes surrounded by pine trees (Rand) or wheat fields (Robyn), in country that was not far from a fortified enclave called Ruby Ridge. They made up Myst entirely out of whole cloth - strange cloth, cloth not available in the great centers of commerce. When I first met them in 1994, after Myst was a certified hit but before they had seen much money from it, they were about to cross uncharted waters. Money was about to come flowing in, money and prestige and temptation and pressure. They were about to become some version of the oldest American narrative: We believe in money, we believe that money corrupts, and we believe in corruption. We despise the cycle, and we rush to embrace it.
I walked across the puddled parking lot and peered in the windows: a panoply of products designed to provide gracious horizontality. I saw the dim shadow of the reception desk, minus the cut-glass bowl of hard candy that had been a Cyan tradition from the beginning. I remembered ...
April 1996: Bonnie Staub looked cold. Her nose was red. She was wearing a down parka and gripping a sheaf of papers. There is in every good office a person who acts as the hub and pivot, the person who can always find the things that are lost and forget the instructions that are unwise, who has such a good grip on the truth that she knows when to lie, who has a loyalty not often rewarded with a salary commensurate to her value. Bonnie was that person at Cyan; she returned my phone calls and gave me useful information; even her studied vagueness had content. And she seemed to be fighting some undefined strangeness, a peculiar gloom created from cramped offices and bad vibes and the lingering Spokane winter and something more. It all made me fretful. Something was up.
Jon Carroll writes a daily column for the San Francisco Chronicle. He wrote "Guerillas in the Myst" in Wired 2.08.

Forget Friday. Thank goodness for Wednesday. I never thought I'd say that, but given
the way Election Day and the weeks that led up to it played out—I'm glad it's all over.
No more back-to-back-to-back-to-back political ads on television. No more campaign
signs. And no more political rants from others on social media sites. The latter may have
been the most disheartening of it all. Safe to say— Wednesday, November 7th, 2012 was
a LONG time coming.
I was actually sad on Election Day. The one thing that's supposed to bring us together—
the act of voting-- actually drove us (society) further apart. The number of hateful
posts from people on the extreme left or right I read on Facebook was disturbing. I'm
not talking about the "How could you vote for him? He's a socialist" comments, or
the "Conservatives hate everyone who isn't a white male" posts. I'm talking about
comments preaching hate. The "we need more Lee Harvey Oswalds in the world"
comments. That wasn't a one time thing, either. The hate spewing comments were
EVERYWHERE—especially Tuesday night AFTER the election.
Can't we just all get along?
They say sports are a reflection of society as a whole. So too is Congress. It seems no
one wants to work together to fix the growing number of problems we have in the world.
This leads me to two ideas that may help:
1. Every member of Congress being forced to listen to John Lennon's "Imagine",
Edwin Starr's "War" (the lyrics are simple, but they make a very good point),
and my personal favorite, Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" each day BEFORE
stepping foot on Capitol Hill.
2. Make a republican and a democrat room together (think "Remember the Titans)
I'm willing to try anything at this point. We are so much more alike than different. Why
can't we see that? We're much stronger united than separated. Yet sometimes you have
to wonder how far we've really come in 2012. The president's re-election had some
students protesting (I'm looking at you, Ole Miss). They'll be upset if their actions come
back to bite them.
It's taken everything in me to not respond to people I know and their messages of hate.
But someone has to be the bigger person. Someone has to be the person to not correct
them—but to bring them—and everyone else together to see the bigger picture.
"America, I believe we can build on the progress we've made…it doesn't
matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where
you love. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or
Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, able, disabled,
gay or straight, you can make it here in America if you're willing to try."
"I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided
as our politics suggests…We are greater than the sum of our individual
ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue
states. We are and forever will be the United States of America."
-President Barack Obama
I believe he's right. Politics can show the ugly side of us. It can also show the best IN
us. Both sides said mean things. But out of this we have to heal and become whole
again. We have to. That's the only way we get anywhere, by coming together. RIGHT
Thank goodness for November 7th.

I think this tasted wonderful esp. if you're looking for something different/original to serve as finger food. Looks very nice too. I served it "chip n dip" style but the goat cheese is quite thick so you need to actually spread it w/a knife onto the apricot and then your fingers get all sticky from the apricot...this was a bit obnoxious and yes, you only eat 2 or 3 of them b/c the goat cheese is so rich. I tried to thin out the taste/texture a bit w/cream cheese and milk but it's still rich and thick. 1/3 of this recipe is more than enough but I will definitely make it again.flag if inappropriate
I brought these to a summer party and they all went. I did find them to be a bit messy however. Since making them I have read a new review which recomments mixing the toppings together and then apply to apricot...that is what I'll do next time.flag if inappropriate
This is an unusual combination of flavors that I really like! They are also quite beautiful, but 150 is just too many. I was serving finger foods to a little over 60 people. Guests either loved 'em or hated 'em, but no one ate bunches of them. Even though I liked them, I couldn't eat more than 2 myself due to the richness of the goat cheese, and the sweetness of the apricots. I would make half the amount next time.flag if inappropriate
I've made this recipe several times, and I just love it. I deviate, though, by just tossing all the ingredients together to serve, which is extremely easy, and the dish is still attractive and tastes wonderful. I use whole turkish apricots and freshly squeezed orange juice. I've made it for several cocktail parties, and it always disappears.flag if inappropriate
Looked good, but obviously not popular as I ended up throwing the majority of of them away.flag if inappropriate
This recipe was a big hit, and very flexible. I thought the orange juice was a nice way to plump the apricots, and added a bit of tang. They are not too soggy if you drain them on paper towls.flag if inappropriate
Ditch the OJ marinade because who wants soggy apricots? Also use California dried apricots--the Turkish ones are just gross and belong in fruitcake.flag if inappropriate
Sounds weird but tastes wonderful. Turkish apricots, whole, worked fine. They were a big hit.flag if inappropriate
Like a previous reviewer, I let the cheese come to room temperature, then piped it out of its own cryopak. Easy! I used green chile pistachios, which added I nice bit of spice. A great combination of textures (chewy, soft, crunchy) and flavors (sweet, tangy, spicy).flag if inappropriate
Made these for our annual Christmas party, and they were the biggest hit! Didn't bother soaking the apricots in the OJ since the ones I got were pretty moist to start with, and I toasted all the nuts, not just half. Kept the goat cheese out at room temperaturee then piped through a pastry bag. SO easy and delicious!flag if inappropriate

Three 8's in a day in the forest of Fontainebleau.
After 2 weeks in Fontainebleau some good weather finally decided to arrive! Having had two rest days enforced by thin skin and rain I was itching to go, probably a little to itching (I now have no skin again)!!
First stop was l'apparemment, a brilliant 8a at Apremont that requires a whole lot of squeeze and some ninja skills with the feet. I tried this in February but couldn't fathom a sequence that would get me to the top and with low levels of motivation I quickly gave up trying. Today was different though, I was actually excited; the first cold day in a Fontainebleau trip is very special!

How refreshing - a video without blaring music, screaming and yelling. This video was very, very enjoyable. Good fucking and sucking.
komm her und reite meinen schwanz. schoenes vid
is she a lesbian or straith?
Got any pictures ashlee
Being following Ariel for a quite time... a little bit disapointed about the video... hum... don´t shows the real beauty of Ariel, the guy... For God Sake... find someone who can give her a real cock and a real good fuck.. Jesus... she deserves much better than that! Anyway... she´s the one, a real beauty, gorgeous woman.
That is so sexy I came to this
(ARIEL) PIPER FAWN she´s Checz
..piu' bravo a sgrillettare che a fottere il maschietto!
I never really liked this video ... something about her gives me the vibe that she really isn't having a good time. Ariel is an amazing model, but this video isn't so great.
Te amo! hija de puta!
He is kinda cute.
sex kuull
Next time lose those fucking GIANT HOOP EARRINGS. They just get in the way. And back off with the camera. Typical amateur mistake of GOING IN TOO FUCKING CLOSE.
This guy has a lot to learn.. Doesn't have a clue what to do with breasts (hello, nipples is where you have to be!) is horrible in fingering (boring..) and is hairy and fat (yuk..) . I would have fallen asleep just like her..
she looks like me ex girlfriend and I bet she fuck just as good she use too. Dam I miss fucking that tight pussy she had
ya i fapped this chick is hot as fuck beatiful pussy nice an tucked in
Yeah, she looks like my ex gf Erin, who looks like Christina Ricci.
Ja, soooo geht Porno auch in dieser Best-Ausfuehrung...
...and to any idiot; who says she "isn't" bored; you probably think this is how sex is done; and should try having more sex; because she is clearly bored. Lesbian porn; is several time more interesting. Fuck; I'm bored with straight porn. Stupid men; always stop; halfway; right when the chick is about to climax...dumbasses.
Best vidio
I'd love to blow a thick wad all over that perfect body of hers after giving her a nice hard pounding.
She was totally into that..

Wow Piper, you mądre me hard, i came, and now youve mądre me hard again ! Beautiful!
She looks very young and unexperimented in that so amateur video.
What is her real name Piper or Ariel who also appears on Femjoy. Ariel is very good in bed enjoys, sex likes riding his penis spends some time riding him do not blame her as for the woman it is a very pleasurable Position as the woman is in total control of movements etc and can slow down or go faster and control the depth of thrust as she moved up and down on his Penis. Ariel or Piper? does not make to much noise too while having sex but still enjoys it and has a very satisfying Orgasm which is important for the Woman to feel sexually satisfied after sex. There is one woman who i would like to sexually satisfy who lives in the same village as i do she is so lovable and beddable and beautiful lucky Husband she is married worse luck
he cant finger and he cant fuck and shes hungry cause i can hear her tummy growl..
Ariel can be seen here in hot handjob action: http://www.youporn.com/watch/8118183/extremely-cute-red-haired-girl-gives-handjob-pov-long-face-and-eyes-shots/
She is gorgeous. Her tits and pussy are perfrect.
wow beautiful girl/ pussy!
Also Leidenschaft uns Spaß am Sex sieht anders aus. Ich glaube ihr hat es nicht gefallen, sondern sie hat es eher über sich ergehen lassen.
she is so beauty and sensual
Her cunt looks really tight, love the way her tits bounce as she's being shagged BUT if it was me up her I'd have shot a lot more spunk than that!
he is so sexy,,,i want 2fuck her ass....
she is beautiful but totally useless as a fuck. might as well just blow up a doll
Nice real tits. Why would anyone want to watch fake over-sized boobs?
what a great looking girl lovely body nice tits
This guy understands how to work his woman until she's ready for penetraton. She is really quite good looking, very nice body, and I love those pink pussy lips.... beautiful face and hair as well. The guy does a good job for her, and I'm glad to see that a few on here know how to please a woman first. And Girl, you are right... good girls love sex just as much as the bad girls. Whoever shared this one, thank you.
nice fuck .
dude needs to learn to finger a girl haha other than that great vid
Girl, you sound like her attorney. how about we meet up and i pop a load off in your ass!! She can watch and maybe learn something
She is just a normal 19 year old girl who somehow found herself having sex with a man older and much more experienced than herself, after having done only a little nude modeling and having broken up with her boyfriend not long ago. She is very beautiful but being young and good-looking doesn't instantly turn you into a pornstar. This video of her having sex doesn't define her, she is a stunning girl who has been videoed having sex, not a girl who is trying to give as many people around the world orgasms as possible. If people find this boring, it is because she's not trying to make you feel hot and heavy, she's trying to deal with the situation as best she can. If you go to the dreamstash website it tells you more about the context of the video. The fact that through her career she has focussed in on solo work, modeling and lesbian scenes shows that she probably didn't ever have the aspiration of being a pornstar.
Bei dem Vorspiel würde ich auch langweilig dreinschauen!!!! Gebt euch doch etwas mühe Jungs!!
Dr Jimmy I wouldn't kick her out of bed!
Oh wow, its Piper Fawn, how are... W-what the fuck? She looks... Tired... Maybe it wasn't her day cuz that right there, looked like dry fucking to me... ouch.

The many faces of Matthew Knight Arena
EUGENE, Ore. - After the Oregon Ducks won the CBI championship Friday night, the crowd cheered - and crews went to work transforming Matthew Knight Arena from a basketball court into a rodeo arena.
From 10 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Saturday, crews removed the hardwood and trucked in 32 dump truck loads of dirt to complete the change. >>> Watch a timelapse video of the transformation
By the time bullrider Cody Brixey arrived on Saturday, he had no idea Oregon didn't just have a $200 million rodeo arena on campus.
"Yeah, I didn't know that till we got here," Brixey said. "I mean when I walked in i was like 'hooooooly!'"
That's no bull - and not the first "bull" either to bust things up at Matt Court. "El Toro Loco" and the other big rigs of Monster Jam roared into Matthew Knight a week before the rodeo.
"You can actually feel the action in a building like this," said Rod Schmidt, who drives "Grave Digger" in the Monster Jam, "where if you're in a huge stadium your so distant from what's going on it's hard to feel that connection."
In between, the Ducks hosted two CBI basketball games. The quick changes showcase the venue's versatility, from Elton John to a pro tennis exhibtion to this summer's Cirque du Soleil shows.
And many of those shows likely would have given Eugene a pass.
"I think it would have been difficult," said Devan Shea, event director at the arena.
Shea and his team credit the loading dock, adjustable seating and other versatile infrastructure with making the arena a big draw for a variety of events.
"I'd like to think that we could do almost anything," Shea said.
Next up: Matt Court hosts the national championships for collegiate acrobatics and tumbling starting this Thursday.

UO men's 4×400 relay at Iowa State
A relatively light schedule this weekend for the UO men's and women's track and field teams …
Coach Dan Steele is taking the UO men's 4×400 relay to Ames, Iowa on Saturday for the Iowa State qualifier. Ashton Eaton, David Klech, Chad Barlow and Matt Butcher are the tentative entries. In order to get into the NCAA meet, the Ducks need to drop their season-best of 3:10.40 by at least 2 seconds.
The rest of the team is headed to Seattle for the Husky Last Chance Qualifier on Saturday.
Duck entries include:
Amber Purvis (60), Zoe Buckman (800), Nicole Blood (mile/3,000), Jamesha Youngblood (long jump).
Kenny Klotz (800), James Withers (800/mile), Galen Rupp (mile), A.J. Acosta (mile), Colin Witter-Tilton (pole vault), Vernell Warren (long jump).
Purvis, one of this year's impact freshmen, is tied for 16th on the NCAA descending order list in the 60. She's also the anchor for the Ducks' fifth-ranked 4×400 relay.
Buckman, who has been slowed by injury all season, needs to run low 2:07 to have a shot at qualifying in the 800. She's also a vital leg on the DMR.
Blood probably needs to move up the list in either the 3K (20th) or mile (27th). Same with Youngblood in the long jump (16th).
For the UO men, Acosta is ranked 28th in the mile at 4:01.89. He ran 4:00.87 unattached on Feb. 14. He placed third in the NCAA indoor mile last year so the Ducks obviously want him to run a bit faster on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Rupp continues to chase the sub-4-minute mile barrier as a race sharpener for NCAAs, where he stands No. 1 at 3K and 5K.
Curtis Anderson covered UO track and field for The Register-Guard from 1990-96, and again since 2005. He covered the 2012 Olympic Games in London, in addition to the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in New Orleans (1992), Atlanta (1996) and Hayward Field (2008 and 2012). He is the winner of the Jesse Abramson Award, presented by the Track & Field Writers of America for excellence in coverage in 2008.

The palette is $36 and includes 9 shadows plus the primer potion!
If for some reason the Deluxe Eyeshadow Box failed to wow you let me introduce you to a smaller palette that packs a nice punch! A quad of delightful Urban Decay Shadows in Oil Slick, Stray Dog, Midnight Cowboy, and Flipside plus a brush all in a cute purple compact! Did the Muse happen to mention how much she adores purple?
The palette is $24 and is available for purchase at Sephora right now!
A new year brings us a new arsenal of beauty this year it's entitled the Urban Decay Survival Set!
The set includes Mini Eyeshadow Primer Potion, XXX Lipgloss, Lip Envy, Eyeshadows in Chopper, Twiced Baked, Smog, and Glitter, 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil, and Mascara!

The Best of Urban Set includes Midnight Cowboy Rides Again Eyeshadow, Mini Primer Potion, 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon, and Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Midnight Cowboy.
The Glitter Liner in Midnight Cowboy hasn't been released prior to this so that's reason enough to want the kit!
The kit costs $32 and available for purchase now!

Climate Change
Catalyzing attention, funding, and action to promote resilience to climate change.
Similar Topics / Energy, Resilience, Revalue Ecosystems
Climate change and its impacts – more variable temperatures and rainfall, extreme weather events, and rising sea levels – are accelerating the pace and intensity of the shocks and stresses facing communities globally. Cities are particularly vulnerable because of their concentration of people and assets, as well as the degradation of protective ecosystems. Without savings or voices in decision-making, the urban poor bear the brunt of these impacts.

Lobby was too hot, delapidating exterior facility, slow/sleepy security staff and loose excercise machines.
The place was BEAUTIFUL. Will go back.
The only issue I had was that there were too many mosquitos in my room due to the plants near by.

I'm not sure about this base colour. It's a light purple shimmer and I normally don't go for light shimmers but this one was purple and in the sale so I had to get it! I don't think I would ever wear it on its own but it's nice for under a pattern like this.

Access Control Goes Online
Jun 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By Michael Fickes
Access control used to be so much trouble. You had to install all those intelligent boards one for every eight or 12 readers plus cables from the readers to the boards and then from the boards to the security station.
Nowadays, access control increasingly is going online, a development that promises to transform the technology by simplifying installations, easing integration challenges, improving flexibility and reducing costs.
Nowadays, access control increasingly is going online, a development that promises to transform the technology by simplifying installations, easing integration challenges, improving flexibility and reducing costs.
IP-based access control leverages the investment in the IT infrastructure much more than traditional architectures, says Thomas Heiser, vice president, market strategies for HID Global, Irvine, Calif. Because of this, it is now being included in the planning of new sites. This is an important indicator that access control is not being viewed as a separate system, but a more integral part of the enterprise environment.
HID Global, a unit of Stockholm-based ASSA ABLOY AB, is among the early access control companies to weigh in with network-compatible devices. The company announced its Edge family of Internet Protocol- (IP) based access control devices in March 2007.
The heart of the Edge concept and other similar products is an access control reader that connects directly to an IT network with a single Cat-5 cable. The system eliminates the expensive, bulky intelligent controller that conventional systems require to be installed in equipment closets. Instead, the controller is housed inside the reader one reader, one controller. And performance is not compromised: The Edge controller can store up to 44,000 credentials supplied by the host system.
By making access control decisions at the door instead of in an equipment closet, Edge readers eliminate the possibility of taking eight or more doors off-line if the intelligent controller wired to those doors were to go down for some reason.
Also, the one-reader-one-controller concept eliminates the need to buy more intelligent board capacity than is needed. (In the case of intelligent boards that support eight readers, for example, two panels would be needed to cover nine doors.)
Power is also more convenient in the new wave of IP access control devices from a number of manufacturers. Generally, network access control equipment draws power through Cat-5 Internet cable connections through a feature dubbed PoE or Power-over-Ethernet. The Edge PoE system runs everything at the door: the reader, strike, status monitor and intrusion sensors. The point: IP access control devices do not require separate power supplies.
The Edge system includes an OPIN application programming interface (API). Developed by HID, it is an open architecture interface that enables Edge devices to work with virtually any host software in virtually any custom configuration. The API will also adapt to work with most new host software applications that will come online in the future.
For companies with a couple of doors and no host software application, Edge has a Solo option, in which a user can manage individual doors by visiting their Internet addresses with a browser. HID's specifications say that this option can manage up to 500 cardholders and two to three doors.
The basic HID Edge reader functions at any interior door. For doors leading out of the building perimeter doors IT managers warn against using a basic edge reader, which would require a network connection on the outside of the facility. HID's solution to this problem is EdgePlus, a full-featured reader designed to sit outside a facility and to communicate with the basic Edge reader on the secure inside of the door.
Finally, for companies that want to install Edge systems in new facilities, the HID system can convert legacy systems at existing doors with readers connected to intelligent controllers. The procedure involves converting existing control boards to VertX processors, which will enable the board to connect to the network. The processors feature HID's OPIN API, making it possible to manage all access control devices, in old and new facilities, with a single host application.
Outsourcing access control over the network
IP access control opens a number of new possibilities. By connecting access control devices to the company network, for instance, a user can push access control data through the network and onto the Internet. An advantage of doing so is that it would allow one to subscribe to online access control systems instead of buying a system.
For instance, Bethesda, Md.-based Brivo Systems LLC offers access control services over the Web. We run the applications at our data center, says Steven Van Till, Brivo's president and CEO. You don't have to pay for the electricity or hire the IT staff to manage the system.
You do have to buy and install IP readers, continues Van Till. What is different is that Brivo runs the applications at their data center. Security officers can enroll employees, assign permissions and monitor the system by pointing an Internet browser at Brivo.
There are a number of advantages. When the access control software needs updating, for example, Brivo handles it. When something happens, the system alerts the security director by e-mail, over a browser, by telephone or through a combination of communication technologies. It is analogous to online alarm monitoring services like ADT, which, in fact resells Brivo's online services.
More than one way to hop on the network
A handful of companies have introduced IP-based access control systems, but not all follow the HID Edge model.
ISONAS Security Systems Inc. in Boulder, Colo., makes IP-enabled readers with built in controller technology. But unlike HID, however, the ISONAS system comes bundled with a Crystal Matrix access control software application. In contrast, HID uses an API to integrate its readers with software produced by others.
ISONAS readers can integrate with other software systems, too. ISONAS recently announced an agreement with Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls Inc. They are integrating their P2000 enterprise security system at the device level, says Charles E. Crenshaw, CEO of ISONAS. They are going right to our reader controller and not using our access control system.
But the important contrast that I would emphasize is not so much the difference between IP access control products, but rather the difference between IP access control systems and intelligent panel systems.
In other words, the big news about IP access control is the elimination of intelligent boards and associated costs for cabling and labor as well as the operational convenience of being able to manage doors, readers and cards from any computer connected to the Internet.

Owners expect Anna's Pizza to open Jan. 27 in Old Palm City Town Square
PALM CITY — The popular Italian eatery Anna's Pizza, forced to move from its 16-year location in Monterey Plaza, tentatively is scheduled to open Jan. 27 in its new spot in the Old Palm City Town Square.
Anna's Pizza, which closed its Monterey Plaza doors for the last time at 7:30 p.m. on New Year's Eve, had planned to open Jan. 2 at 2281 S.W. Martin Highway, said Ed Kirshner, son of owner Anna Kirshner.
Noble Properties, the Palm Beach Gardens developer that owns Monterey Plaza, plans to demolish the three westernmost buildings in the plaza and build anew on the property.
Renovations to the new, 2,230-square-foot space, which is almost double the size of its former site, were first delayed when contractors unexpectedly stopped working from Dec. 20 through Jan. 4, Kirshner said.
He said they brought over the 2-year-old, $18,000 pizza oven — "our moneymaker," Kirshner said — and some other equipment, but still there was about $70,000 more in renovations to be made.
"It didn't look like it was going to be a lot, but it turned out to be substantial," Kirshner said.
That meant the nine employees, all of whom have been with the restaurant for at least eight years, will go almost a month without work.
"We gave them a nice holiday bonus, but we didn't expect them to be out this long," Kirshner said.
He said the renovations are complete, Kirshner said, so now he is waiting for approval from the fire marshal and health inspectors before he can open.
Before closing the Monterey Plaza location at the foot of the Palm City Bridge, Anna Kirshner bemoaned the move because she enjoyed the business from students at Martin County High School about a mile away.
But Ed Kirshner said he thinks Anna's Pizza will be a better fit among several other restaurants in the Old Palm City Town Square. "The new place feels like we're more part of a community," he said.
And almost every day so far this year, he said, about 20 customers stop by the new location to check on his progress.
"Some of them know we're not open yet, but they just want to see what the new place looks like."

You can't ever get through on the phone to the Social Security Office
It's one of the most common complaints from individuals who file for social security disability or SSI: never being able to get through on the phone line to the social security office. Over the last few years, I have spoken to hundreds of claimants who said they needed to ask a question regarding their SSD claim or SSI claim, or needed to report information to the claims representative handling their case---but could never get past a busy phone signal.
This was my advice to them: Try to call very early in the day (and, hopefully, get the jump on everyone else who is calling) or try to call around 4:00 PM when the day is winding down. In fact, my wife (a former disability examiner also) who is a social security field office claims representative says that 4PM may be an especially good time to call (however, she tends to return her calls very quickly, so this may not apply to all social security employees).
How hard is it to get through on the phone line to a social security office. A blog by attorney Charles Hall recently posted information provided by Senator Max Baucus who stated at a Senate Finance committee hearing that individuals in his state of Montana routinely failed to get anything more than a busy signal for weeks on end. In fact, a survey conducted in 2006 found that callers to social security offices got a busy signal fifty-one percent of the time.
Is Montana unusual in this regard? Not at all. I have found this to be the case with every social security office I have ever tried to call on behalf of a disability claimant. The answer to the problem, of course, is what I've stated several dozen times on this blog---SSA needs to have a budget large enough to allow them to properly staff their operations. Critics to this approach will typically reply with "Well, your first thought shouldn't be to throw money at it. Better organization is probably the better approach". To which I say, bull hockey (that's a euphemism for something else, obviously).
Individuals who have never worked in the disability system tend to assume that all federal agencies are awash with resources and are full of lazy government workers.
But that's a complete myth when it comes to the social security administration. The real truth is that SSA employees are seriously understaffed and overworked and it is to their credit that they can still perform their jobs as well as they do in an employment environment where workers who quit or retire are often not replaced.
To wrap up, though, this is what I tell people who can never get through on the phone to social security, yet urgently need to speak with someone there. Go there in person. Nothing will replace the efficiency of doing that. Yes, you may have to wait for quite a while in the waiting room. But it certainly beats getting busy signals for days on end and then playing phone tag with left messages.
