A close-up look at an exhibit of 'FACES'
Riford Library show examines the human face
Editor's note: The author of this article, Joe Nalven, blogs about visual arts for U-T San Diego. He is one of the artists featured in this exhibit.
The human face often compels attention. In art, in the psychology of emotions, in religious pictorials, on the society pages and even on wanted posters.
Sometimes, we are driven to pessimism: "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever." — George Orwell
At other times, we can find an inspirational thought juxtaposed with a touch of realism: "God has given you one face, and you make yourself another." — William Shakespeare
And then there are those prickly barbs: "Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening." — Greta Garbo
When: Through May 17
Where: Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave., La Jolla
Phone: (858) 552-1657
Online: lajollalibrary.org
The new art exhibit at the Riford Gallery in La Jolla provides an ongoing wealth of insights and curiosities about the human face.
It is titled, "FACES" — of course.
Emily J.G. Vermillion curated the exhibit for the La Jolla Library Art Committee. The exhibit features 30 works by 27 San Diego area artists.
I wondered how Vermillion saw the art of the face compared with portraiture.
Emily Vermillion: The "FACES" exhibit is different than a portraiture show. Generally speaking, in traditional portraiture, an artist attempts to capture the pure physical characteristics of the human subject as best as possible so that the final product is recognizable, identifiable as the subject. Often portraiture ends up being a copy of the person's exterior rather than delving into the spirit or essence of the person. My intention for "FACES" was to be more open as to what is a face. I was looking for creativity, ingenuity, passion, expression rather than simply physical reproduction.
Here are a selection of the images that invited me to reflect, tickled my mind or evoked an emotional response. Included are the artist's comments on their art.
Althea Brimm
"The Average American Voter is in response to some of the interviews with people about why and for whom they were going to vote: He has the same name as my uncle, she is just like us, his opponent is a Moslem, she owns five Chihuahuas. Disheartening to say the least, but a splendid opportunity for satire."
Jennifer Strulowitz
"I always paint faces, moods, and vibrant colors, but I don't plan the subject or which colors I'm going to use — so usually I have no idea what a piece is going to look like until it comes out.
"Sometimes, as artists, we're too close to see the changes in our own work. I didn't realize until someone mentioned it, but when I lived in a colder climate, I often reached for paints in cool tones like raspberry, emerald green, and shades of blue; but since moving to La Jolla, I've been using a lot of warmer tones, like the lime green that I used in 'Bentlee.' "
Sally Bucko
"My favorite subjects to photograph are people whose customs, dress and environment have remained relatively unaffected by the modern world. I photographed the 'Veiled Woman' in Luni, Rajasthan, India, a small town in the Thar Desert in November of 2012. There is a mystery about her as she peers surreptitiously around a corner with her fuchsia veil covering her face, yet her eyes are visible through the semitransparent fabric and seem to be looking for someone or something, or is she hiding something? It is ironic that a veil can be either mysterious and erotic or repressive and opacifying."
Linda Kardoff
"I focus on the visual aspects of a drawing more than on the narrative. 'Fighting Shyness' came easily to me because of the contrast between his brutish physique and sensitive demeanor."

Wetlands are areas where the land does not drain well. The ground in a wetland is saturated, or full of water. Often the ground is covered with shallow water.
- wetland - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
Wetlands are areas of land characterized by poor drainage. As a consequence, sluggishly moving or standing water is present most or all of the time, leaving the soil saturated. Wetlands are found on the boundary between a body of water and the land. They are usually classified as swamp, marsh, or bog, depending on what type of soil and plants are present.

I just got my UltraFire C3 Q5 last night, and rode in with it today. I went with a single 14500 cell for today's test. The light output was sufficient (not wonderful, but sufficient). The big problem was that it cut out at about 30 minutes. I could turn it back on again but it'd shut off again quickly. Then I put it on medium output instead of high, and it lasted the remaining 10 minutes of my ride.
Tomorrow I'm going to try it with two AA cells. The light output is a bit less but should still be acceptable, and two AA NiMHs have nearly twice the watt hour capacity of a single 14500, so it should have plenty of run time.
I'm not totally happy with using flashlights as headlights. From MY point of view, sure, they're great. But they have no cutoff and in my testing this little flashlight gave more glare to oncoming drivers as both low beams of a car. I think I may wind up going with an Ixon IQ primary and using this flashlight as a backup.
BTW, I did some beam comparisons last night, click here to view.

I have been swamped with consulting projects and put my garden on autopilot for 2 weeks. My computerized irrigation worked flawlessly. Fortunately no computer crashes. The weeds didn't take over, even though I never got my weedcloth finished in the walkways. I gave my daughter a lesson on pinching off suckers on the tomato plants and only one got away from her.
Photo 1 – Bed 1: Greens & Basil raised bed
Photo 2 – Bed 2: 90 Pepper plants, Bed 3: Beans & Beets, Bed 4: Onions & Zuchs
Photo 3 & 4 – 38 Tomato Plants pruned to a single vine inside a hoophouse
Photo 5 – Black Gold
Tomorrow I get back to putting down weedcloth.
Everything looks so good. I must have missed something along the way … why are the tomato plants under cover?
I have been plagued with Septoria Leafspot the last two years and lose my tomato plants by early August. It is spread by rain drops bouncing off the ground spreading the spores to leaves. I'm using soakers and avoiding rain. I built a 10′ × 40′ hoophouse and have a 40' raised bed inside. I'm also trying a new approach of pruning suckers and supporting single vines from the roof beams. I always used cages and steel stakes, and I noticed last year that the leaves that contact the galvanized cages turned brown and died, looking very similar to blight. So this is one big experiment.
Thanks hotwired. I'll keep that in mind … my tomatoes have been hit with the leafspot, too, for the last couple of years.
Now that is a production garden!
Everything looks wonderful! Except for, ahem the flat tire! :)
I am really pleased with the compost too. I managed to get a few yards to use!
That's some nice black compost there – looks like some good stuff.
Very well organized. I have my drip system on a timer. What software do you use to run your drip system?
Looks most excellent!! Who knew computers could take care of plants so well?!! ;-P
Cherokee… I'm using sprinkler valves, now buried under 4" of new compost, and two Advantech 1762 I/O cards totalling 32 I/O's. There are 16 separate irrigation zones, each with home-built moisture sensors. I have two liquid fertilizer tanks with electric flow-valves with different mixes of NPK, so that I can feed individual zones based on the crop and stage of development. There's nothing more dangerous than an retired engineer with a garden.
I really like the concept of using Pvc vs. the standard rubber tubing. Do you just poke holes in the PVC or is there something sticking out of it. Hard to tell from the picture.
Also, where is the computer located with the Advantech cards installed, indoors / outdoors?
Most are designed as soakers with 0.020" to 0.050" diameter holes at 6-12" apart. The size and spacing of holes is determined by calculating flow volume and pressure at various points within the zone. The dimensions vary in order to have a balanced flow at each point within the zone. I setup tomatoes and peppers with deep soaker tubes that encourage deep rooting, since both tend to develop surface roots. I have my computer with a touchscreen in the garden shed adjoining my greenhouse. It also controls heat, ventilation, lighting, and watering in the greenhouse.

|Guilty verdict handed down in placement of cemetery stone
By Jan Rahn
Managing Editor
Presiding over the trial of the City of Grant vs Marvin Stumpf on Wednesday, Dec. 16, Judge Edward D. Steenburg found the defendant guilty of a Misdemeanor.
Stumpf's charge stems from placing a grave marker in Grant Fairview Cemetery despite being told it did not meet rules and regulations of the cemetery.
Sentencing is set for Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2010 at 9 a.m.
Four witnesses took the stand to testify for the prosecution on behalf of the City of Grant.
Prosecuting the case was the city's attorney, Philip Pierce.
After seeking permission to erect a large memorial stone and being told "no" by both the cemetery board and city council, Stumpf went ahead and erected the stone at the grave site of his wife in Fairview Cemetery during the first part of December 2008.
The cemetery marker is out of compliance with the rules and regulations of the Grant Cemetery Board, who was given the go-ahead in April to pursue legal action against Stumpf through the city's attorney.
Judge Steenburg found Stumpf guilty of violation of the rules and regulations adopted by the Grant Cemetery Board, stating Stumpf was aware of the rules, was denied permission to place the stone, yet went ahead and had it erected in the cemetery after seeking and being denied permission.
Testifying for the City of Grant were Mayor Mike Wyatt and City Clerk Jessie Faber.
Gerald Werner, former chairman of the Grant Cemetery Board, answered questions posed by the prosecution and defense.
Also testifying was Ron Cochran, who is in his sixth year as cemetery caretaker.
The defendant was represented by Ogallala attorney Neil Williams.

I picked this little beauty up recently. PTR MSG-91 .308/7.62x51mm NATO Semi-Automatic Delayed Roller Recoil Operated Battle Rifle with a 18" fluted barrel, black furniture, tactical handguard with a 3" rail, welded picatinny accessory rail and Harris bipod, H&K style pre-ban flash hider, a black H&K navy type polymer trigger group, a black Magpul PRS2 adjustable buttstock, Osprey Harrier 4-12x44mm scope. It is a 2009 production and got it for a steal with original box and paperwork. I wasn't expecting too much accuracy out of it, but I figured it would be a good hog gun from the box stand.
It came with an Osprey 3-18x50mm scope, but it was raised super high and the charge handle still hit the bell so I took my cheap little Osprey 4-12x44, removed the rear sight and dropped it low. Later this year I will look at getting new optics, but it ate up most of my gun money for the first half of the year at least.
Took her to the range recently to sight it in and try different ammunitions. Of course all hunting rounds (6 types). After the range trip I got a deal on 240 rounds of match and a 200 round German battle pack, so those will be ready for the next range day. The recoil was like butter. Ran about 70 rounds through it and no shoulder fatigue at all. No failures or any issues. Now keep in mind that I am VERY new to shooting rifles. Only been shooting scoped rifles for about a year or two so I learn more every time I shoot. But I was getting consistent 1" groups and a few 2" groups (it was freezing and 20+ mph winds, so i was not as steady as I would like). Not bad groups for a new shooter. I would love for a pro to put some match down her and see what she actually does.
The 8 pound trigger is a bit heavy. I need to find a good gunsmith that can do a trigger job and maybe something about the stiff safety. It does mangle brass so I got a port buffer that I need to tweak so it mounts solid (had to cut 2/3 of the bracing off to go around the rail).
Overall, I don't think that is too bad for a amateur with a battle rifle. :mrgreen:
Here I was playing a new app on my phone
I do like those, let use know how it shoots when you and the rifle are dialed in

Was looking at hypnosis ( always wondered why it works so well on some people - not because I want to convince everyone I meet to be my slaves - honestly ;) ) and I read something that stopped me in my tracks. The articles author stated that most of the time we are in a state of hypnosis which is no more than our automated systems taking over from our conscious ones for example, when we drive home and realise we didn't think too hard about driving we just 'arrive home' we are in a mild hypnotic state; when we get immersed in a movie and lose our sense of where we are we are in a suggestible world where we potentially get moved by what we see etc. All these are indicators of our conscious self focusing in such a way that our actual behaviours are handed over to our sub-conscious brain which is also our long term learning process. A program I watched (Horizon) also mentioned this idea that our sub-conscious is responsible for a majority of our behaviour - when we first play a sport/instrument we play it slowly and awkwardly thinking each step through but as it transfers to our sub-conscious brain controlling areas it becomes natural and unforced.
Could almost all of religion and its hold over us be explained by this sub-conscious / hypnotic state of our brains? Repetition, re-read scriptures, messages inculcated into our sub- conscious via hymns and so on are all hypnotic practices leading us to perform our religious lives in a mild trance such that we consciously switch off allowing our sub-conscious to get us though a service, knock on doors, feel guilt at disobeying, avoid 'dangers' etc. In fact this trancelike state is our normal day to day state - for the religious the subconscious is trained to obey the main tenents for everyone else its whatever they've allowed themeselves to become. Could this also explain why it is so difficult to reach someone with facts and criticism and why there is a recognition that people have to want to discover the truth about the 'truth' themselves? Appealing to someone using our conscious self is almost impossible , especially for a long term member , because the actual belief is in the sub-conscious and the conscious self doesn't do much more than act as doorkeeper. This could be why our conscious self is more moral than our sub-conscious self (conscious I wouldn't kill my daughter but a religious sub-conscious me could ) and why religious people can take the most immoral of social positions yet feel genuinely moral.
A trick for getting people to do what you want is to confuse the conscious brain and insert your behaviour/suggestion into that confused space (so a con man might approach you like a life long friend and as we struggle to adapt they've picked your pocket ; a funny advert makes you laugh and then sells you the product and so on). This would be why many of us look back to a particular moment when our mental dam broke, something snapped, our conscious self was shocked and allowed the doubt/fact/revelation into our subconscious self (which seems powerless to defend itself once the conscious self has stopped guarding the gates.) Our tactic to help our family/friends out of any controlling meme must be to look for shocks and or to provide suggestions only during certain trance states when the conscious self is dulled. My example (I know I'm blathering on but this is quite exciting for me.)
I took 2 years+ of solid research to come to the conclusion my faith was a sham but I presented this information to my wife and she didnt reject me because it was also at the same time we were both fuming at a seperate situation where the church had really failed so we were both agitated and she was defending me from local church leaders. Since her conscious self was in 'defend hubby' mode and shocked by church leadership behaviour I was able to present my information in a matter of a few hours and get most of it direct to her sub conscious without an extended period of rejection/ fear and defense of her beliefs. Now she's almost out.
This whole principle could be at the root of why some people are so persuasive - they've learnt to shock or lull the conscious brain by key words, actions, physical touches , socially forward or humorous behaviours so allowing them to say what they want direct to our sub-conscious while our conscious self is dazzled/confused.

My ex-wife made false claim for political asylum in UK which had been successful and then obtained her naturalisation and british passport. We are divorced now as after few arguments she accused me of domestic violence which resulted in the restraining order made against me. She has been living and working full time (legally) in UK for the last 14 years, our two children live with her and she has mortgage on the property she owns, so she is very well settled and established here. Is it possible to get her british nationality revoked as she obtained it by making false political asylum claim?! She travelled to her home country many times after she obtained british passport?

Sweet Basil, Ocimum basilicum is an herbaceous member of the mint family. It is a delicate herb with a bold aroma and flavor, containing about 1% essential oil which has an intense, spicy-sweet, aroma and a slight anise-like undertone. Often associated with Italian cuisine, basil is native to the region surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Popular as a seasoning and easy to grow, basil is cultivated and used throughout the world. Basil will flourish in your garden or in a pot on a sunny windowsill as long as it gets lots of warmth, water and sun. You can snip fresh basil leaves into a pasta dish or salad and have your aromatherapy and eat it too!
In addition to its culinary use, basil has a long history as a medicinal herb. The Greek physician Dioscorides prescribed basil for headache. Pliny thought it was an aphrodisiac; his contemporaries fed it to horses during the breeding season. In modern aromatherapy, basil is used to cheer the heart and mind. The sweet, energizing aroma seems to help relieve sorrow and melancholy.
Basil is a polymorph, meaning it occurs in many different forms, varieties and closely related species. The different types are easily hybridized, producing many different kinds of plants with different essential oil constituents and compositions. There are cinnamon, lemon, clove and licorice scented basils; purple and green, curly and lettuce leafed varieties. Dwarf bush types with tiny leaves are grown as ornamental plants.
Two varieties of basil are used in the extraction of essential oil on a large scale. Reunion Island, or Exotic basil, is grown and distilled on Reunion Island in the Indian ocean. European type basil essential oil was originally grown and distilled in southern France but is now cultivated in America as well.
The constituents that give basil its aroma and flavor are linalool also found in lavender and clary sage; methyl chavicol, which is found in tarragon; and eugenol which is found in clove and allspice. Reunion basil oil contains camphor and little or no linalool. Because of its more harsh, woody aroma Reunion basil is cheaper and of little use in aromatherapy, which makes use of basil's mildly energizing, uplifting, refreshing qualities. It is often combined with other oils that contain linalool including lavender, bergamot, clary sage and geranium. Its aroma is both inspiring and balancing, akin to lavender oil but more energizing than relaxing. Some people are sensitive to the methyl chavicol in basil oil and may experience redness or burning if the oil isn't properly diluted before being applied to the skin. (2 parts basil oil to 98 parts carrier such as vegetable oil.) Basil oil is not recommended for use by pregnant women.
Basil Refreshing & Rejuvenating Blend
This recipe for a refreshing, rejuvenating aromatherapy blend helps relieve the physical and emotional fatigue associated with stress. This fresh, sweet aroma with its spicy green basil nuance inspires clarity and positive thinking. Featuring basil, bergamot, eucalyptus, lavender and peppermint.
You can combine several drops of the blend with 1/4 cup distilled water and diffuse it into the air using a candle aromatherapy lamp. This fresh, sweet aroma with its spicy green basil nuance inspires clarity and positive thinking.

Apple has been counting on a long-awaited agreement with China Mobile, the worlds largest cellular operator, to reverse its fortunes in China. If the muted reception Friday, when customers were finally able to buy iPhones from China Mobile, is any indication, the companies may have to work harder to whip up enthusiasm.
Instead of the round-the-block lines that have greeted Apple product introductions in China and other countries in the past, only about a dozen customers showed up to buy iPhones at the opening of a store in Beijing despite the presence of a special guest, the Apple chief executive, Timothy Cook.
Cooks trip to Beijing was a testament to the importance that Apple has attached to the introduction of iPhones on a mobile network with more than 750 million customers. The agreement to sell the iPhone 5S and 5C was announced in December, after years of negotiations.
Apple was once an iconic brand in China, where its phones have been sold for years by the second- and third-largest mobile operators, China Unicom and China Telecom. But it has lost ground Samsung Electronics, and cut-price domestic rivals.
Its market share has fallen into the single digits.
In some ways, Apples challenges echo those of other American brands in China, which gained loyal followings during the countrys boom but have more recently been subject to intense scrutiny by the Chinese media, prompting consumers to give another look to alternatives. The state-run CCTV has broadcast a series of exposés of supposed quality or ethics lapses by Western brands, including Apple.

Diamond Airbrush Tan is a company that was started by accident…
Healthy Sunless Tan, Diamond Airbrush Tan
It began in 1997 when its founder, Tracy Diamond purchased a small airbrush face painting company called Fantasy Faces. Just as Tracy began exploring Motto the airbrush face painting industry she discovered a small freckle-like growth underneath her left eye. That freckle turned out to be cancerous and it unknowingly became the catalyst For Diamond Airbrush Tan.Once the skin cancer was removed the Dermatologist gave her strict instructions to avoid the sun, as much as possible, and to stay out of the tanning salons for life! In an attempt to maintain the look of having a tan while avoid harmful UV-rays, Tracy Diamond began using the airbrush face painting brushes to apply the sunless tanning solution she purchased at Walmart. She brought this idea to the Fantasy Faces and they went on to start a successful company called, Fantasy Tan.
Airbrush Tanning is Safe
Airbrush Tanning is the safe method for attaining an instant long-lasting sunless tan. Unfortunately, not all airbrush tanning solutions are created the same. Diamond Airbrush Tan uses products from a line of skin care products that are made from all natural ingredients, so they moisturize and hydrate the skin throughout the airbrush tanning process.
Research shows that UV damage from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection (EPA) reported that one person dies from skin cancer every hour and one out of every five Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime. Being outdoors is not the only element to take into consideration when factoring in your amount exposure to the sun. You also need to note the intensity with regards to climate, the season, location and time of day.
There are many way to look and get a sunless tan this website explores a healthy alternative way to getting a sunless tan.

Members of Hizb ut-Tahrir have been arrested across Central Asia.
JALAL-ABAD, Kyrgyzstan – Two alleged members of the banned Hizb ut-Tahrir organization have been arrested in Kyrgyzstan's southern city of Jalal-Abad.
The Jalal-Abad provincial branch of the Interior Ministry said on February 22 that dozens of books, leaflets, DVDs, and audio cassettes with extremist content were found in the two men's houses.
On February 19, five other suspected members of the group were arrested in the area.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is a London-based Sunni political organization that seeks to unite all Muslim countries into an Islamic caliphate.
The Kyrgyz government and a number of other CIS countries have banned Hizb ut-Tahrir, branding its supporters "extremists."
Since last summer, several other alleged members of the banned organization have been arrested in towns across Kyrgyzstan.

The Reign has earned the right to enjoy the last month of the regular season.
Seattle wrapped up first place in the National Women's Soccer League and home-field advantage throughout the postseason with four games to spare. Saturday night was a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor in their home finale on a perfect Seattle summer evening.
The Washington Spirit delayed the party for 88 minutes, as Diana Matheson opened the scoring for the visitors on the half-hour mark.
But Kim Little sent the high-spirited Memorial Stadium crowd home with a point via her league-best 16th goal of the year, earning a 1-1 draw just minutes from stoppage time.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
- Your vote counts so little in Tuesday's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'
Most Read Stories
The match reflected the stakes, at least for the Reign. August is a season for indulgence, especially in this part of the country, especially on a night like Saturday.
"I think maybe some players are less tense," Little said. "Yeah, you try things that maybe you'd be too scared to in matches that mean a bit more."
Jessica Fishlock capped a fifth-minute passing move with a kung-fu deflection for Sydney Leroux, whose shot hooked inches wide. Megan Rapinoe dropped one-touch bombs all over the field. Some were blocked, others found teammates — like the one in the 18th that played Leroux into space down the left side.
Then Washington broke on the counter, three attackers versus two defenders, and Diana Matheson tucked a shot inside the far post. The Spirit took a 1-0 lead into the break.
"For Washington, it's the biggest game for them because they need to get points," Little said. "It's almost a luxury for us, if you could say that, because we had such a good start to the season."
In the second half, the Reign sharpened up. Its passing connections had more bite, and its players were just as eager to go hard into challenges as Washington's.
Seattle finally broke through with just two minutes of normal time to spare, as Little cut into a through ball and shimmied free before finishing low.
The final result was meaningful in the standings only for widening the gap between Washington and Portland in third and fourth places.
"Is it a disaster? No. Do I want us to produce our best football in this game? No," Seattle coach Laura Harvey said. "I want us to produce it on the 24th. I'll accept it, but we can't get ourselves in a rhythm or a routine of allowing that to happen."
On the 24th, Seattle's next home game against an opponent to be determined, there will be a spot in the NWSL championship game on the line.

Bird Catching Contest
So this is like the bug catching contest from G/S/C, but with birds instead. Ignore the master ball in the video; it was only for test purposes. And ignore the tile errors as I've fixed them all. :3
The wild Pokémon encounter ratio is the same as it is for any route. This is a timed event so you won't be able to participate whenever you want. And I'm not going to reveal where this is, but this will be available in the beta.
As for prize-winning Pokémon:
First prize - farfetch'd
Second prize - natu
Third prize - fearow/noctowl/pidgeotto
I'm not going to spoil what the prizes are so you'll just have to be happy or disappointed when you receive them. :3

She began developing products for fellow yogis, including the company's namesake, Hugger Muggers. She developed apparel meant to conceal and comfort. Since the word "hugger-mugger" means "to conceal" the catchy name, Hugger Mugger fit.

Capitolini Museum
Rome Photo Workshop Trip
Two instructors and I wandered into the Museum - somewhat off plan. Artifacts, angles, statues, portraits, light-filled galleries and dim connecting hallways. Perhaps my favorite two hours - a tour of discoveries.
No trip is complete without some souvenir shopping. In my case, a birthday present for my 23-year-old daughter, who told me she would like a handbag. Let's just say we don't have the same taste - but I want to do this right. I find a likely candidate, prop it on a garbage can outside the store, take and send an iPhone photo text message. Approved! Technology does have its moments.
A local dinner with a few of our number in a quiet place close to our hotel. We did this on a couple of nights - not always the same people. I enjoyed the informality and conversation.

Well, I'm happy to say I had my second column about Havana printed in The Gleaner today. A paper which I used to write for some moons ago. It would be great if I could become a columnist and be able to live comfortably on that. Alas salaries in Jamaica are not usually much to write home about – although I'm told that our cricket players, along with others on the West Indian team are the second best paid in the world. Ozzies being the best I think. Or was it the Indians. I forget.
Anyway, I do highly recommend Havana for a visit. Although perhaps not in August, unless you are exceptionally fond of sweating from pores that you hadn't previously known existed. Regretably there is about as much air conditioning in Cuba as there is in England. Then again, I've been living with a native as a native. For those of you who can be cloistered in a 5 star hotel you should be very comfortable, even in August – at least when you are cloistered.
This is not to say that Kingston is any cooler. But somehow the heat in Havana is a little more intense. And of course we do have quite a lot of air conditioning.
Jamaica will need all the comfort it can get, as apparantly its economy is being hard hit by this flipping economic crisis. And now its going to the IMF – which will enable the government to more easily do the things it knows it should, but which won't go down too well with the suffering public.
Not that I'm all that concerned with other people losing their jobs – I beat them to it five months ago. Which brings me back to the part about the columnist….

Backyard Chickens
The scene: long-time residents of Berkeley, moderate income, finally saved enough to do some landscaping in the backyard, including a small patio area which induces visions of lovely, relaxed Sunday morning coffee or leisurely meals with friends. They love it!
Next: family moves in directly behind them, so they are back-yard neighbors who share a back fence. No issues there! Until: we realize said family has brought...........farm animals with them! As soon as they moved in, we were absolutely BOMBARDED with endless squawking, screeching, honking, snorting, screaming, and whatever other assorted noises chickens and ducks can make. There goes the relaxation, right? And it's not just occasional, it's constant. Well, ok, maybe playing music can help ( though we're not always in the mood for music loud enough to drown out squabbling animals, but I digress...).
But! That's not the only problem with said farm animals who live along our fence line. The bigger problem: they STINK! We aren't sure if it's poop, old eggs, feathers, rotten food, or a combination thereof, but our lovely patio area (along with other areas of our yard) REEKS. The smell is nauseating, and honestly prevents our use of our whole backyard.
The question: what to do? Yes, we've tried speaking with them, and although they do have other options for location of the outdoor ''coop'' (or whatever it is that keeps them abutted against our fence at all times) and they did say they would ''do something'', nothing has been done
This seems really unreasonable to us. Anyone have ideas? Can stench be considered a ''public nuisance'', and if so, who do we contact? Are there no rules or guidelines for keeping farm animals in the city? Can they be kept regardless of huge negative impact on neighbors? If we were to complain, who might we be complaining to?
Anyone have ideas, or dealt with similar issues? Chicken/duck poison, anyone? J/k... We are completely frustrated and honestly can't believe this is ''ok''. If politely asking doesn't work, what might you do if you were in our place?
Thanks so much for your advice. Overwhelmed by foul odor
I have backyard chickens and am very insistent on keeping the chicken yard clean. If neighbors find the smell too much, then someone's lazy about cleaning up after the chickens. Or, they have too many chickens/ other pets: San Francisco for instance only allows four of each of these types of pets. Responsible Chicken Owner.
Hello, I am a new chicken owner and am puzzled by the non-laying of one of my chickens. She began laying in April, then brooded in June. We put the ceramic eggs under her, and counted the 21 days until she would stop brooding. While she is acting a lot more normal, and eating and all, she had not returned to laying. I can not seem to figure out why. Any ideas? what I might be able to do to help her start laying again? thanks for any advice! wanting some eggs!
We are interested in keeping 2 or 3 chickens in our backyard. Who has tried this and what advice can you give us? Where do you get supplies, chicken feed, the pen/coop etc.? Do the chickens stink? What do you do if you go out of town? We have read a lot about the possibilities online, but would love to hear from anyone with actual experience. -Chicken about chickens
I got pretty picky about no animal products in my feed, so I've been going down to Hayward to Close Feed & Supply to buy Purina's Layena pellets. I don't have to go often and it's not far from my work so I haven't looked much into the organic feeds I've seen sold in the stores around here.
We built our coop ourself - it was a fun project with my parents during one of their visits. There's loads of simple plans online, nothing fancy is required - but do heed the advice of making it easy to get in and out of for cleaning, etc.
When we go out of town our neighbors take turns collecting eggs & checking food & water. They're usually more than happy to get the fresh eggs, and it's fun for their kids as well.
Our coop smells a little when you stand right next to it, but mostly that's because we're going with the ''composting'' (aka lazy) method of bedding. From what I've read it's acceptable to either change the bedding on a regular basis, or keep adding to it to get it to build up into a lovely compost for the yard.
And, of course, you should run out and try to find a copy of this weeks East Bay Express which has a short (but good) article on just this topic, including local codes (which we unknowingly broke in building our coop).
I feel like so many folks around here have chickens, wouldn't it be great if we had a local email group to exchange tips, thoughts, ideas, even short-term equipment lending (like chick feeders) and coop tours. If anyone knows of something like this - post the website/email address! got chicks
The upside is: they eat leftovers -- anything you put out, except for onions and mint, they'll eat. The eggs are Fantastic! Amazing! Healthy! and not 5 bucks a dozen. The down side: broody hens stop laying... and other hens may stop when one hen is broody so you may end up with no eggs for awhile unless you buy fertile eggs for broody mcbrooderton to set upon.
There are ups and downs, for sure. They can be picky about scratch; mine will only eat mealy scratch and ignore all scratch with pellets. Mine want to commune with humans, which means they try to get in the house whenever they can. A couple of the hens are pets in a sense; they allow themselves to be pet and picked up. The other two run away from humans. I have more wisdom to impart, but please email me for more. Chickens really aren't ''easy peasy'' and I don't want you to make the same mistake I did -- I love my hens, but it takes a lot of work and attention. You become a farmer when you get laying hens, it's not an easy task. hen pecked
Not all members are from wine country. Perhaps you could get some good advice here too.. I wish for chickens!
And even with the broodiness, cracked eggs, and other miscellaneous issues that come up, I still think they're easy.
good luck! easy-peasy, but not free range
Our family has ended up with a beautiful red hen! My 4 yr old loves the hen. And although, we have a nice backyard, we don't have a coop. Does anyone have a usuable chicken coop they don't use or need? Or, does anyone have suggestions for where I could get an inexpensive one? I have a car and am willing to drive 50 miles outside of Oakland. I was going to build a coop, but I seem to need one now. The chicken is spending nights perched on my bike, parked in our garage and laying eggs in corners of the yard, poor thing! Thanks! Lourdes
We are thinking about getting backyard chickens, and we're wondering whether or not we should be concerned about bird flu, particularly with a young child at home. Any chicken-owners out there have any thoughts on how much of a concern this is for Bay Area chickens? And what (if anything) have you done to protect your hens? chicken for chickens
Re Janet's message: I wonder if I'm the only person wondering where you found real baby chicks to be delivered in the mail! I've been very vaguely thinking of starting to keep chickens - would be interested in information about how to start. Janice
Re: where to see real baby chicks
My husband just decided to raise chickens. He built a coop and ordered a batch--they came in the US Mail if you can believe it. As of March 26 they were a little over a week old--still very cute. We live in North Berkeley. If you want to call right away they will still be chicks and your son is welcome to pet them--but they are growing rapidly. Janet

On a recent Oceanside brunch ride OCRR found itself at the mercy of the latest Amtrak set of rules designed to make it unworkable for cyclist to make use of the Amtrak trains.
Eight OCRR riders found themselves in Oceanside waiting for the 12:49 train back to Irvine. The train arrived with no less than 6 cars and a baggage car. We were informed that only one (1) car had bicycle hooks limiting us to 3 bicycles. The Amtrak conductors REFUSED to open or even consider opening the baggage car citing a recent Amtrak Baggage committee policy of not loading bicycles in baggage cars. The ticket personal did make known that if we were willing to pay $20.00 per bicycle we could load our bicycles in the baggage car. The attitude of the train crew was arrogant and indifferent at best.
The ticket personal took that position that "its not my job" and they could have cared less.
As a result, 2 of us rode back to Orange County and 3 waited for later trains or Metrolink.
It is oblivious that Amtrak has become anti cycling and is doing nothing to encourage the use of their trains by the cycling community.
As a result of this, OCRR will no longer plan rides that depend on Amtrak as the mode of return.
So riders beware. Amtrak does not like cyclists. Use it at your peril.

Back office goldmines
The fund industry's back office has always been a cost center, but at least one company is predicting 2014 is the year that starts to change. "Savvy fund administrators will realize they sit on a goldmine of data that, if extracted quickly and delivered in a consumable format in real time, can help drive sales growth," says Skip Smith, chief operating officer of Pittsburgh-based investment data automation company Confluence. On the one hand, Smith expects back offices to be under pressure in 2014. As more fund companies diversify to offer multiple fund types in multiple domiciles, manual back office processes won't cut the mustard. But firms that invest in automating their back offices to meet their own obligations will find a silver lining. Easy access to the volumes of data that sit in the back office means that data can also be leveraged for competitive advantage. "They will use technology to deliver fact sheets and other data to their middle and front offices faster and more accurately, enabling fund companies to better attract investors and thereby extract real value from the back office," Smith says.

Enough of this BCS hand-wringing about who's in, who's getting the shaft and why we need a playoff. It's time to raise a toast — say, a tall Maalox — to the other BCS. We salute those who have had the most 'Bominable, Crummy Seasons, the teams that came in with expectations and are instead trying to find the nearest exit:
1. Tennessee (3-5)
The Vols have three cushy opponents left (although they might want to take Vanderbilt seriously) and may yet get to a bowl game. With another loss, however, they would suffer their first losing season since 1988, after getting serious mention as a national-title contender.
Tennessee had quarterback problems from the start and is 98th in the NCAA on offense. David Cutcliffe, the ex-Mississippi coach and former Vols assistant, may succeed resigned coordinator Randy Sanders.
2. Purdue (3-6)
Maybe the Boilermakers looked better simply because they weren't going to play Ohio State or Michigan. Problem is, they haven't beaten the likes of Minnesota, Iowa or Northwestern.
"Our secondary has been in disarray," coach Joe Tiller said this week. "And quite frankly, I think people were way ahead of themselves in giving us way too much credit offensively. We lost two premier players a year ago, one a four-year starter at quarterback [Kyle Orton], the other a four-year starter at receiver [Taylor Stubblefield]."
3. Texas A&M (5-4)
With senior quarterback Reggie McNeal, the Aggies looked capable of big things. Turns out they were. They've given up 98 points the past two weeks to Iowa State and Texas Tech, and third-year coach Dennis Franchione (16-17 in three seasons) is feeling the heat.
4. Pittsburgh (4-5)
The Panthers were something of a mirage last year, going to the Fiesta Bowl with an 8-3 record. But they returned much of that team for Dave Wannstedt's first season, including quarterback Tyler Palko.
5. Iowa (5-4)
Despite Drew Tate at quarterback, the Hawkeyes have had a bizarre year — blowouts by Iowa State and Ohio State, and cliffhanger heartbreakers against Michigan and Northwestern.
6. Michigan (6-3)
Hardly a collapse, but not what most expected with Chad Henne at quarterback and Michael Hart at running back after a close loss to Texas in the Rose Bowl.
7. Washington State (3-6)
This is called imbalance — ninth in the nation in total offense, 109th in total defense. The Cougars got off the track in the second half at Oregon State on Oct. 1 and have never gotten back on. The loss of linebacker Will Derting has probably cost them two wins.
8. Nebraska (5-4)
Bill Callahan's offense is 108th nationally. Did Tom Osborne (or Frank Solich) ever lose to Kansas, 40-15?
9. Michigan State (5-4)
At one point, the Spartans were 4-0, 11th-ranked and hosting Michigan. Since then, they've gone 1-4, beating only Indiana.
10. Wyoming (4-5)
A cover of The Sporting News last summer touted Cowboys coach Joe Glenn with the teaser: "The Coach Who Could Fix: Alabama, UCLA, Colorado." Wonder who could fix Wyoming?
The SEC's sexy Saturday
The Southeastern Conference this year is the diametric opposite of the Pac-10, where nobody can stop anybody. While the Pac-10 has six of the top 20 in scoring offense, the SEC has six of the top 17 in total defense.
Saturday is bloated with implications in the SEC. Fourth-ranked Alabama (9-0), which has allowed 19 points in its last four games, hosts 7-1 Louisiana State. Auburn (7-2) visits Georgia (7-1), which is expected to have back D.J. Shockley, its starting quarterback.
It would take a real character to steal the spotlight from those two games. Did somebody say "Steve Spurrier"?
"Actually," he said, parsing history, "South Carolina did beat Florida back in 1939. We all know that."
We do now. Amazing as it sounds, the Gators haven't lost to the Gamecocks in 66 years. Of course, South Carolina, which trails in the series 19-3-3, didn't join the SEC until 1992.
Spurrier left the Gators after the 2001 season for a failed fling with the Washington Redskins, followed by a year out of football. He was thought to be a serious player for the Florida job last winter when they fired Ron Zook, but the Gators turned to Urban Meyer.
"I'd already done my thing there and left, and to try to do it again would not have made sense for me or for Florida," Spurrier said Wednesday. "This is really best for all concerned.
"I'm a guy that likes to do something for the first time ever, than win five or six or seven conference championships. They said it couldn't be done here, win a championship. We're going to try to do it."
South Carolina (6-3) has won four straight SEC games for only the second time in 13 years. Meanwhile, Spurrier sounds happy to have left behind the human grinder that is the NFL. Referring to the college game, he said, "You don't have to have your heart valves and your stints. I had two years of it, and certainly that was enough for me."
Come on down
Iowa State's administration is going against all marketing wisdom for Saturday's final home game against Colorado (7-2), with the Cyclones (6-3) still hoping to win the Big 12 North title. It has discounted reserved-seat tickets from $40 to $10, a 75 percent savings.
Only 28,000 seats had been sold before the reduction, with 3,700 coming after the announcement.
X'ed out
Oregon's lavish 2003 locker-room renovation, complete with Internet hookups in cubicles and locker-stall ventilation, is still causing fallout. The Ducks have been told by the Pac-10 they must remove the Xbox gaming system, saying it goes beyond the NCAA guideline of too "extravagant."
Noting that the NCAA earlier ruled against things like private-jet travel for recruits, Oregon coach Mike Bellotti told the Eugene Register-Guard: "About half the legislation over the last three years has been aimed at things we've done."
Done with donors
North Texas has played in four straight bowl games — true, it was the New Orleans Bowl each time — so with a 2-6 record, offensive coordinator Ramon Flanigan didn't take kindly to a verbal salvo from booster Bill Covert on his way out of the press box to the field at halftime of a loss to Louisiana-Lafayette
Flanigan confronted Covert, who had shouted that the North Texas staff was being outcoached. Monday, Flanigan apologized through school publicists.
And what's more …
• Penn State QBs coach Jay Paterno, on his 78-year-old dad Joe, the head coach: "He can coach 20 more years. I'm not exaggerating. The sucker's going to be around in 20 more years, believe me."
• Syracuse will retire its fabled No. 44 — worn by Jim Brown, Ernie Davis and Floyd Little — Saturday.
• Northwestern QB Brett Basanez ripped Iowa defensive tactics after a 28-27 Wildcats win, telling the Chicago Sun-Times the Hawkeyes "were grabbing facemasks, hitting guys late, getting you in the head. I guess that's how they teach football down there."
• Texas QB Vince Young says he plans to stoke his teammates for Kansas after coaches Sunday passed around year-old newspaper clippings of Jayhawks coach Mark Mangino questioning whether Texas deserved to win a controversial game last year.
• WSU's Jerome Harrison is within hailing distance of the best seasons rushing by Steven Jackson, Corey Dillon, Charles White and O.J. Simpson. We realize it's all about winning, but maybe the Pac-10 should think about throwing an Offensive Player of the Week honor his way for the first time in '05.
• Vanderbilt (4-5) may have had a bowl bid stolen in a bizarre OT loss to Florida. After Earl Bennett caught a touchdown pass with 54 seconds left to pull Vandy to 35-34, coach Bobby Johnson had decided to go for a two-point play. Bennett appeared to begin a brief dance step in the end zone but was interrupted by a bear hug from a teammate. No matter. He was flagged for excessive celebration and Vandy prudently kicked a 35-yard conversion, then lost. How about some judgment, zebras?
• Then there's Oswald, a Rottweiler who has fit right in with four recently sidelined Arizona State offensive linemen who room together. Owned by guard Steven Berg, Oswald has a leg in a cast, the result of a summer mishap on the rails of a boat.

Fruit cracking occurs mostly during the harvest period when the fruit is either almost ripe or already
mature and has been wet with rain or sprinkler water.
Harvest mature fruit before rains occur and avoid getting fruit wet with sprinklers to prevent fruit
from cracking. When rain does occur, harvest immediately to reduce the amount of fruit that is cracked.
Some varieties may not be as susceptible to cracking as others.

tales of the city
Scissor Sisters On Tales of the City, Personal Theme Songs, & Lady Gaga
Any band that garners applause from Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour for their disco cover of "Comfortably Numb" is one worth watching. Since the release of their self-titled debut album in 2004, Scissor Sisters have been churning out glam-pop beats and satisfying dance urges across the globe with hits like "Any Which Way," "Filthy/Gorgeous," and "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'," all of which are impossible to take sitting down.
'Tales of the City,' With Music by Scissor Sisters, Is Most Expensive Show Ever Produced by ACT
Famed chronicler of 1970s San Francisco, Armistead Maupin created some of the most iconic residents of North Beach - fictional, but as integral to the city as fog and gay men and Ghiradelli chocolate.

Money Can't Buy It: How the City of Free Expression Became a City of Righteous Consumers
It's the classic San Francisco story. In your early 20s, you leave home—some flyover state you'd just as soon forget—and move west, without a plan, which is the point. You stop where Interstate 80 stops, right on the edge of the continent, and unpack the U-Haul into a cramped room in a draughty flat in the Mission or the Lower Haight or the Outer Sunset. You share the space with roommates you've never met, work some meaningless job to pay the rent, and use the remaining hours to make art, or fantasize about making art, or just roam around the city, marveling at its fairy-tale beauty and strangeness—and at the fact that you get to call it home.

With holiday events popping up every week of December, it's hard to keep on top of it all. Here, just a few more cool things going on that you shouldn't miss.
Dreidel Spin Off at the Contemporary Jewish Museum
Tonight, on the second night of Hanukkah, the 2009 Major League Dreidel Spinagogue Champion will host a a spin off at the Contemporary Jewish Museum as part of a special Hanukkah edition of RitLab. Despite the obvious disadvantage of not being Jewish, John Heywood eked out victory with an impressive 16-second spin last year. The title is now up for Jews and gentiles alike. Plus, there will be artisanal chocolate-making and sampling of fair-trade Hanukkah gelt. As Major League Dreidel says, "No Gelt, No Glory!" $5; 12/2, 6 - 8 p.m., Contemporary Jewish Museum, 736 Mission St., thecjm.org
