Issuing a strong statement that San Joaquin County must protect itself against Delta water being exported to the south while acknowledging the water needs in Southern California, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution Tuesday opposing a second attempt of a Peripheral Canal.
"Right now, we're in a huge tug-of-war between north and south," Mel Lytle, the county's water resource coordinator, told the Board of Supervisors.
The proposal was put on the table by the Delta Vision Blue Ribbon Task Force, a group appointed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to advise on how to deal with California's divergent water interests. It's the second generation of the so-called Peripheral Canal, which was defeated by voters statewide in 1982. The proposal was to divert Delta waters to Southern California.
Lytle said that diverting water to urban areas in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas, along with farms in Kern and other south San Joaquin Valley counties, would be detrimental locally.
A "Peripheral Canal," also known as a "dual conveyance system," could result in loss of water and quality in San Joaquin County, decrease agricultural production and create poorer fisheries and fish habitat, Lytle said. It would also harm the county's business and economy, he said.
- The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors adopted a permanent ordinance Tuesday to govern entertainment in unincorporated communities and an interim ordinance defining "adult entertainment." The adult entertainment ordinance is valid for 45 days, when the board will consider a permanent ordinance.
- The board agreed to install a traffic signal on Highway 88 at Alpine Road, south of Eight Mile Road. The purpose is to reduce the number and severity of traffic accidents, according to Public Works Director Tom Flinn. The intersection has two-way stop signs. Estimated project cost is $432,000, with the county spending up to $180,000 and the remainder by Caltrans.
- Brandt, Golfview and Morse roads will be improved, probably in
June. Brandt Road in Lockeford will get four-foot paved shoulders
on each side between Highway 88 and Jack Tone Road, while all three
roads will receive repairing and resurfacing.
A biological assessment or preconstruction survey by a wildlife biologist must be completed prior to construction, because the project may substantially affect biological resources such as nesting birds, including the state-listed threatened Swainson's hawk.
- The Board of Supervisors approved a subdivision agreement for a
small subdivision on the west of Thornton Road, south of DeBroggi
Road in Flag City. The project calls for almost eight acres of
commercial development.
- News-Sentinel staff
"'Dual conveyance' is just a sham to make us feel better," Supervisor Leroy Ornellas said.
In opposing the task force's report, Supervisory Larry Ruhstaller asked that the seven cities in San Joaquin County go on record as either supporting or opposing the resolution. Lytle said that the Manteca City Council has already adopted the resolution.
Lytle added that the Delta Blue Ribbon Task Force seems to be re-naming the region to the "California Delta" rather than the "Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta."
"I think we're outnumbered," Supervisor Steve Gutierrez said. "I think it's hardball. I think we need to take a stand."
Highlights of Delta task force recommendations
- The Delta ecosystem and a reliable water supply for California are the primary co-equal goals for sustainable management of the Delta.
- New facilities for conveyance and storage, and better linkage between the two, are needed to better manage California's water esources for both the estuary and exports.
- The current boundaries and governance system of the Delta must be changed. It is essential to have an independent body with authority to achieve the co-equal goals of ecosystem revitalization and adequate water supply for California while also recignbizing the importance of the Delta as a unique and valued area.
- Discourage inappropriate urbanization of the Delta.

Op-ed: Why oppose building new homes for the homeless?
The homeless are the most marginalized and dispossessed people in the United States. To be homeless is to experience a wide spectrum of discrimination. In the past decade, legislation seeking to criminalize the homeless has gained popularity in cities that are fed up or exasperated with the "homeless problem".
The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty reported that between 30% and 50% of major American cities criminalize some form of homelessness, ranging from "aggressive" panhandling to simply sitting on the sidewalk.
Our own city … Continue reading »
FCPC looks into alleged violations by Yes on S supporters
The Fair Campaign Practices Commission has decided to investigate whether any campaign laws were broken when the Yes on Measure S campaign paid people from $50 to $100 in cash to pass out campaign material on election day.
The commission also wants staff to look into whether the Yes on S campaign paid for an extra printing of endorsement fliers put out by the Berkeley Democratic Club without declaring its participation.
The decision to investigate came as the commission considered another complaint on Sept. 19 filed by Patricia Wall, executive director of the Homeless Action Center, and Bob Offer-Westort, the coordinator of the No on Measure S campaign. Measure S, which was defeated in November 2012, would have made it illegal to sit on sidewalks in commercial districts for much of the day. … Continue reading »

New talks on homelessness in Berkeley start Thursday
Thursday evening, the Berkeley Task Force on Homelessness will begin a new community-driven process designed to explore homelessness in Berkeley, and how it might be addressed thoughtfully and humanely.
Initiated by Councilman Jesse Arreguín, the task force was created "to continue the much-needed conversation on homelessness after Measure S, which would have banned sitting on commercial sidewalks, narrowly failed last fall," according to a statement released by Arreguín's office Wednesday. The task force arose as an alternative way to address homelessness. … Continue reading »
Landlord-backed group fined for campaign violations
The Fair Campaign Practices Commission on Thursday levied its second heaviest fine in 20 years on a landlord-backed group that spent more than $42,500 during the 2012 election.
The FCPC approved a stipulation agreement worked out between city staff and the people behind a Slate Mailer Organization that sent out five campaign mailers in support of the TUFF (Tenants United for Fairness) Rent Board slate. … Continue reading »

Berkeley moves towards a consensus homeless plan
After an acrimonious battle last year over Measure S, which sought to prohibit sitting on commercial sidewalks, Berkeley's City Council pointed the way on Tuesday night to a more consensual approach to homelessness.
Councilman Jesse Arreguín's Compassionate Sidewalks plan calls for a working group on homelessness to "conduct a series of focused workshops and discussions on a wide range of issues related to homelessness and to develop an action plan with policy, program, and funding recommendations around ending homelessness." (Arreguín wrote about his proposal in a Berkeleyside op-ed on Monday.) … Continue reading »
Op-Ed: After Measure S, it's time to act on homelessness
Although Berkeley voters rejected Measure S, a controversial proposal that would have criminalized sitting on commercial sidewalks, we shouldn't mistake it as an endorsement of inaction. The simple fact still remains: we need to address homelessness.
I didn't support Measure S, but I'm not calling it a day as many do post-election. Next Tuesday, City Council will have the opportunity to continue the critical conversation around homelessness with the Compassionate Sidewalks Plan — a blueprint for creating consensus-based solutions … Continue reading »
Has it gotten harder to be homeless in Berkeley?
After the failure of Measure S to pass in November, we heard from one reader who said there seemed to have been harsher enforcement around town of violations related to homelessness. The reader said a homeless friend had been hassled by police when trying to sleep in a regular spot, and also wanted to know about new rules at the library that limit the size and type of items that can be brought inside.
The reader sent us an email in December detailing the changes, and asked Berkeleyside to learn more.
"Since the no-sit measure failed, the city has begun new, more aggressive treatment of the homeless. My homeless neighbor … has been told he could sleep in the doorway of a movie theater but last night, a cop rousted him from his dry, out-of-the-rain perch in the theater's doorway. The cop said the theater could face stiff fines for giving [my neighbor] permission to sleep in their doorway on a rainy night." … Continue reading »
The most important stories in Berkeley in 2012
Berkeley in 2012 was filled with drama — a contested election, a failed nomination for a new school superintendent, a few missteps by the Chief of Police, and major changes at the University of California, among other events. Here's a recap of the issues that had the deepest impact on Berkeley, plus a few fun ones thrown in.
City Government
The year got off to a tragic start with the untimely death of 37-year-old City Clerk Deanna Despain. She fell down the stairs of her Oakland home on Jan. 8. Her husband discovered her body when he returned from a late-night meeting. Their daughter was soundly asleep upstairs. Since then, Mark Numainville has been filling in as acting city clerk. In May, after serving as interim city manager for six months, the City Council appointed Christine Daniel permanently to the job. She replaced Phil Kamlarz, who had held the city's top job for eight years. … Continue reading »

Tom Bates to Kriss Worthington: Move away from me
Mayor Tom Bates is moving away from City Councilman Kriss Worthington. Not politically. Just physically.
Bates has put an item on Tuesday's council agenda to change the seating arrangements of city council members on the dais. Worthington currently sits on Bates' right. The mayor wants to move him one seat away and have his ally, Councilman Laurie Capitelli, sit next to him.
When asked why he wants Worthington to move, Bates half-joked, "So I don't strangle him." … Continue reading »

Interactive map with precinct-by-precinct results for Measure S. Click the green arrows to conceal info boxes. View the map on Geocommons here.
Although most of the results of Berkeley's 2012 election were known on Nov. 6, and the final tally completed over a week ago, an analysis of the precinct-by-precinct certified results provides a number of fascinating insights.
(The certified results were released by the Alameda County Registrar of Voters just before Thanksgiving last week – the full 9MB 748-page statement of vote is available for download, but only as a PDF, not as a useful data file.) … Continue reading »
Vote update: Yes on Measure T slips further behind
The staff at the Alameda County Registrar of Voters worked throughout the weekend, ploughing through the thousands of vote by mail ballots. With the updated figures posted on the registrar's website yesterday afternoon, Measure T, which would alter the zoning in West Berkeley, looks unlikely to pass: the opponents's lead has grown to 440, 23,131 to 22,691.
The gap on the sit ordinance, Measure S, remains large. No on S votes are 1,583 ahead of yes votes, 25,191 to 23,608.
Only about 1,000 new votes were added to the Berkeley totals yesterday. On Friday, Registrar Dave Macdonald said he planned to finish counting vote by mail ballots over the weekend. His staff will then turn their efforts to validating and counting the 40,000 provisional ballots countywide. … Continue reading »
Mayor Bates hails election as harbinger of change
On the surface, the local Berkeley vote appears to provide an echo of the national election story: after all the activity, accusations and counter-accusations, inside money and outside money, the city is about where it was before election day.
Many provisional and mail ballots have yet to be counted, but if the results don't shift significantly, just about all of the incumbents were re-elected (only the Rent Board remains in doubt) and the majority on the City Council still sides with fourth term Mayor Tom Bates.
But Bates sees the results as a confirmation of change in Berkeley. Even seeming defeats, such as the currently trailing Measures S and T, spur his enthusiasm.
"I'm feeling great," he said. "It was a really excellent election, for the presidential race, Prop. 30 and Prop. 32. And I got back my council."
As for his own victory in pulling in 55% of the votes counted so far, Bates said he thought the result was remarkable given that he had "five opponents pounding away at me and at my record."
He said he thought the result showed that "people like the tack we are trying to take with the city," which he described as a denser city developed around transit sites. "I'm really looking forward to the next four years and to seeing new green, well-designed developments in downtown Berkeley," he said. "Stay tuned."
Some contestants had been hoping this was a year for realignment of Berkeley politics. The "Anybody But Bates" plan by challengers Kriss Worthington and Jacquelyn McCormick, however, failed to force an instant run-off in the mayoral contest. Among local measures, the two designed to shake up the way city government works — Measure U, the so-called Sunshine Ordinance, and Measure V, which would have required biannual reporting of liabilities and a freeze on taxes and laws without certification — were roundly defeated. … Continue reading »

I'm sure there are many other ideas that our SHRM volunteer leaders have to maximize time. We'd love to hear how you maintain a healthy work/life balance. I hope you'll take a moment to reply to this article and share your tips and techniques!
Get organized! These are some of my personal tricks that help me keep organized and save time:
· Checklists – I live by them!! I use checklists for everything! To keep different groups/assignments on track, I develop and keep a running checklist for each of my separate projects (i.e., work responsibilities, family obligations, volunteer commitments, etc.). Checklists do several beneficial things for me; for example, I don't throw-away my checklists during the year – I keep a running checklist, which has been helpful when I've had to go back and look at when and/or to confirm that I've taken care of something. This is a great time-saver, particularly when I'm completing my mid-year and annual performance reviews. And, it brings me some satisfaction when I get to check things I've completed off the list; it's rewarding and personally satisfying to see how much I've accomplished throughout the year. To help mitigate the feeling of being overwhelmed at times, it's important to take time to recognize and reward your achievements!
· Outlook – I put reminders on my calendar in Outlook approximately one-week to a few days in advance of project deadlines, due dates, family activities, etc. The lead time I allow myself depends on how long I think I'll need to complete and submit the project before it is due. This helps me make sure I don't overlook anything.
· Reminder flags – I use reminder flags in Outlook to make sure I don't forget to follow-up on any outstanding email messages and/or tasks that I have promised someone I will take care of. I review the flags and/or put reminders on my Outlook calendar to further ensure I stay on track.
· Journal / Notepad – I carry a journal/notepad with me everywhere I go just in case I need to make a note of something to follow-up on later, or if I someone asks me to send them something, etc. I use the same notepad throughout the year – I don't jump from one to another. This, too, helps keep me on track and frees me from having to rely on my memory. Upon the rare occasion when I may not have my journal with me, I ask the individual to send me an email reminding me to follow-up on their request. When I receive the email, it is flagged and/or put on my calendar accordingly for follow-up.
· Email / Voicemail – I at times will send myself an email or voicemail message to remind myself of something I need to take care of. This is particularly helpful when I am traveling and away from my office and don't have access to something I need. Again, this helps me make sure I don't forget to take care of something I may have promised someone during my travels.
· Filing System – I created a color-coded filing system that flows from year to year. This prevents me from starting from scratch each year, if I have a similar project from one year to the next – I can quickly pull the file, see what I did last year, and take off running with the project. A big time saver, and again, this prevents me from having to rely on my memory.
o I also have a filing system in my Outlook similar to the hardcopy (file cabinet) system I use in my office. I file most of my email messages (incoming/outgoing) instead of deleting them. This has been a huge time saver when I've had a similar project or question come up – instead of starting an email response from scratch, for example, I can just go back to when I've responded to a similar inquiry or completed a similar project and copy/paste a great deal of the information contained in the archived email.
o I don't procrastinate on filing things away – my filing systems only work if I actually file things away so that I can quickly find them later when needed. Also, I find I'm more efficient when my desk and office are organized and tidy.
· Learning New Knowledge / Preparing for Presentations – I utilize the voice memo application on my iPhone to record the talking points/script for my presentations and/or to record detailed information that I am trying to learn. When I'm traveling and it's difficult to read, I can put on my headphones and listen to my recordings over and over – after listening to a recording a few times, I virtually have the information memorized. Again, this tactic has been a huge time saver for me and has helped me be thoroughly prepared for presentations.
· SHRM Connect – Occasionally, I am contacted by volunteers for initiative ideas and/or best practices. For example, just this week I was asked if I am aware of any chapters that have a policy for acceptable usage of chapter-owned equipment by chapter volunteers and/or members. I saved time researching by posting the question to a couple of the chapter-by-size groups in SHRM Connect http://community.shrm.org/Home/, SHRM's social network platform, to solicit best practices from volunteer leaders. Their responses are posted for all group members to see. This is another effective use of technology and resources available through SHRM to help me save time.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Toshiba's new NAND flash memory chips use a 19 nanometer process to fit 64 gigabits on an area of 94 square millimeters. Mass production is to begin this month.
Toshiba said it will soon begin mass producing a new type of 64Gbit NAND flash that is the smallest and fastest in its class, though it still lags rival Samsung Electronics in the development of an even denser flash technology.
Toshiba said Tuesday that it will begin mass production this month of a 64Gbit chip with an area of 94 square millimeters that can write data at 25MB per second. The new chips, made using a 19-nanometer process, are the fastest and smallest to use 2-bit-per-cell technology, Toshiba said.
Main rival Samsung is already a step ahead. The South Korean company said last month that it began mass-producing a 128Gbit NAND chip with 3-bit-per-cell technology, also using a process smaller than 20 nanometers.
Toshiba said it is also working on 3-bit-per-cell technology, and aims to begin mass production by September. The company said it would first focus on smartphones and tablet memory with the chips, then expand to notebook PCs.
Smaller, more efficient NAND flash allows smartphone manufacturers to produce smaller devices that draw less power, and also commands higher profit margins. Chip makers currently are taking a twofold approach to shrinking chips, simultaneously decreasing the process size of the circuitry while also adding the ability to store more bits per cell.
The two companies are competing in a NAND flash market that is expanding based on demand from smartphone and tablet makers. Toshiba had 31 percent of the world NAND flash market last year in terms of revenue, lagging Samsung's 37 percent, according to data from IHS iSuppli. The next closest was Micron at 14 percent.
Separately, SanDisk, which jointly develops and manufactures NAND flash with Toshiba, said it has started shipping samples of the latest chips, equipped with its own algorithms and software architecture.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Back in October, I wrote about counting down to my 40th birthday. I recently read a post by a lady who is counting down to her 40th and getting fit too. (If I can find it again I'll link it!) Well now I'm looking at five months until my 40th, and thinking seriously about what I want for myself as I move into my next decade.
I don't want to be too tired or lazy to enjoy life; I want to feel healthy and active.
I don't want to be a whiny woman with dozens of aches, pains, and illnesses; I want to be fit and ready for anything.
I don't want Type II Diabetes; I want to change my lifestyle to avoid that.
I don't want to be fat; I want to be HOTT. You got it— a HOT 40-year old. Hott with TWO T's!
I don't want to grow to be a sickly, frail, complaining old woman; My lifestyle changes should help prevent that from happening!
What I am doing about it:
I am learning where are food comes from, how it is processed, and how to find and buy healthier foods locally.
I started a beginning runner's training program called Couch-to-5k, using this app for my iTouch.
It sounded scary the first time I heard about it. 5k? That's… what? Three miles. And since I began running last fall I have discovered that three miles really isn't that far to run. Heck, I ran Bloomsday for crying out loud, and that was 7.5!
I started going to Zumba fitness classes 2-3 nights a week with my 16 year old daughter. It was hard and sweaty at first. I sort of enjoyed it but not a whole lot. It has just been lately that I have realized I'm getting hooked on Zumba! I love it. I wish I could do it almost every day. It's an incredible workout AND it's a lot of fun. It's a total blast and I sweat my butt off. Pretty soon I'm going to get myself one of those fun jingly hip scarves! If nothing else it will sufficiently embarrass my daughter. What more could I ask? Mwahahahaha!
My weight loss has been going very slowly. I average about 4-5 pounds per month. THat's not the 2# or so that I would like to see, but what I have noticed is that my shape is changing. My endurance has DEFINITELY changed. I have also lost inches!
From my:
Hips -2"
Waist -2"
Bust/chest -3"
Thighs -1"
Arms -1/2"
I have a waist again. It's not real dramatic yet, but it's there. A few months ago I was almost straight on the sides. I've had to wear my bras on the smallest hooks. I took my belt in TWO holes. I lost the size 14 jeans, and I'm in a loose 12 to a snug 10. I fit a women's medium t-shirt for the first time in five years.
I'm not done yet, not by a long shot. I have a couple pants/dress sizes to drop, a shirt size to drop, and 30# more to lose. I'm on the road. I will get there.
My friend Katey wants me to run the Lewiston Half Marathon with her in October, and I am honestly considering it. I have five months to train for it, and I've heard that is plenty of time to do that. If I do it, the race is the weekend after my 40th.
So I'm running to 40.

It is well known that embedded systems have to be implemented efficiently. This requires that processors optimized for certain application domains are used in embedded systems. Such an optimization requires a careful exploration of the design space, including a detailed study of cost/performance tradeoffs. In order to avoid time-consuming assembly language programming during design space exploration, compilers are needed. In order to analyze the effect of various software or hardware configurations on the performance, retargetable compilers are needed that can generate code for numerous different potential hardware configurations. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the fast developing area of retargetable compilers for embedded systems. It describes a large set important tools as well as applications of retargetable compilers at different levels in the design flow. Retargetable Compiler Technology for Embedded Systems is mostly self-contained and requires only fundamental knowledge in software and compiler design. It is intended to be a key reference for researchers and designers working on software, compilers, and processor optimization for embedded systems.
Both Prof. Heinrich Meyr and Prof. Rainer Leupers have (co-)authored numerous books for Springer

My media week starts as it does every day, at 5:45am with the church bell chimes on my iPad. Living in Harrow-on-the-Hill my slumbering brain mistakes the bells for those of St Mary's tricking me into thinking it's Sunday.
Must change that chime - although it's the only alarm that manages to wake me, but not our one year old... won't be changing the chime after all.
With BBC Breakfast and our own Squawk Box on the TV, cup of tea and blackberry in hand, I check overnight emails from our offices in Singapore and the US while breakfasting on TV news.
The first meeting of the week is an interview for a role with our creative solutions team. The candidate has done their research and know as much about CNBC as they do about me.
10am arrive at Fishburn Hedges for a meeting with MediaCom and Shell to discuss a global campaign we're about to kick off. We're creating three brainstorm events and planning an on-air campaign for the year ahead.
We'll have to trump the incredible event at the top of the Gherkin, as part of our Energy Opportunities series last year.
Start the day with a meeting with our key account director, Martyn Bentley to talk through options for sales representation in Scandinavia. I'm considering a rep, but thinking about managing the region out of London.
The market's a varied one, where combining TV and internet provides the best offer for unlocking budgets. We're targeting the auto, energy, banking and finance sectors and potential for inward investment advertising.
It's a new business effort as there are few pan-regional advertisers in the region.
Great news comes in before lunch as the Government of Azerbaijan confirm a spot campaign through Universal McCann.
A frontier market working to become a front of mind market, as they promote Baku as host city for the 2020 Olympics.
London 2012 is only four months away and having been lucky enough to succeed in the lottery, I'm wondering where those tickets have got to?
8:00am at the office and David Bloom, Global Head of Foreign Exchange Strategy at HSBC is an on-air guest on Squawk Box.
I capture the interview and send it to Sam Selleck at Mindshare in advance of a meeting we're having with HSBC.
Sam's appetite for information on his clients is veracious and he burns every calorie of insight gained, re-enforcing his understanding of their business.
My inbox is now slowed by the weight of the video file just sent. I open a message from NBCUniversal's director of learning that I'll be joining the mentoring programme for 2012.
Ian Foster, MD UPIE will be mentoring me for 2012. Ian's well respected and I'm keen to join the programme.
Reminded of my interview candidate on Monday, I go straight to the web in search more information on my soon-to-be mentor, and inevitably link him in.
Before the programme can start I have to complete the obligatory Myers Briggs Indicator test – am I an introvert or extravert?
The day ends with a booking from Paris, which I celebrate by calling and emailing all involved to congratulate, before also celebrating with an impromptu can-can... extravert perhaps?
A day of holiday. It's 19°C and the sun is out. My wife and I visit friends – a wife and husband team who are opening a Montessori school in North West London.
Arrive at the construction site expecting to see a modest development... we are blown away by what we see. A generous building that when complete will have a waiting list that could fill its half-acre plot 10 times over.
It's relevant as I'm fascinated that they exclusively promoted the school online and have filled the school in advance of its opening, without any site visits.
Kicks off, as every Friday does, with an 8:30am video conference call.
London, Singapore, Paris and Frankfurt dial in for a weekly walk through of campaign status and a planning session for the week ahead.
This week's headlines are strong performance for the quarter in Europe as we beat targets, and an encouraging list of campaigns ripe for sign off, including more than seven high potential branded content partnerships.
Content firmly remains king, context is queen, together they rule!
At 10am leave in a cab for Mindshare's new offices at Central St Giles, now also home to our parent company, NBCUniversal that has taken the remaining floors. It's an inspiring space, with panoramic views of town. I remind myself to take a picture on my BlackBerry. One to be included in my "Secret Views of London" book (must find publisher).
We are hosted by Mindshare who put on lunch – yes Mindshare lay on lunch, for a client meeting, because an important client is joining us.
In the Waugh room we work through plans for an integrated campaign we're launching together on CNBC that's looking like it will be a highlight of 2012.
Content is again king at the centre of this campaign targeting our core audience.
Leave the meeting thinking that we're blessed to be working with an agency and client who understand content, and value CNBC's expertise in creating media that will connect with their target.
The day ends with my last deal of the week, involving a party planner at Topsy Turvy World. I agreed on an extortionate price for a party for 25 kids, but popularity has its price.
Perfect planning and chemistry, this time outside of media, for a fifth birthday party to remember for my little lad, or Jedi (as he likes to be called), Jai.
As the quote by Yoda on the gift bags made by my wife read, "Thankful Am I" to be working in the most exciting and varied industry in the known galaxy...

Gurls Gone Wild
The DC Gurly Show isn't your grandfather's burlesque
by Doug Rule
Published on April 7, 2011, 2:47am | Comments
Ashliana Rowe's mother helped her daughter choose a stage name -- to use in performing burlesque.
DC Gurly Show
(Photo by Todd Franson )
''I actually emailed my mom,'' says Rowe. '''Mom, I don't know what to be called. Here are three options.''' They settled on Private Tails. ''She said it was the weirdest name, and out of all the choices I gave her, it would definitely make people look twice.''
Obviously, the DC Gurly Show, which Rowe, as Private Tails, has run since January, isn't your grandfather's burlesque. It's not a traditional striptease show.
''We play with gender,'' says Rowe. ''We've had actual males as members of the DC Gurly Show. And we have trans men, who are pre-op, perform with the Gurly Show. We don't discriminate.''
Anybody can perform, as any gender, no matter how they identify. The focus is on ''expression,'' and letting ''the creativity of each performer shine through.'' Some burlesque dancers perform by lip-synching, while others adhere to tradition and sing live. ''Lip-synch makes it drag, in the eyes of a classical burlesque dancer,'' says Rowe. The only rules are to respect your fellow performers and to follow the law. ''We make sure it's a safe space.''
The Gurly Show is similar, if not a more freeform, to the DC Kings. In fact, it grew out of that local drag king organization. The ''gurls'' even still perform with the Kings every month at Apex's Gloss women's party.
A 27-year-old native of Fairfax, Rowe first started playing with gender as a tomboy cheerleader at W.G. Woodson High School, when she wore pants under her cheer skirts and didn't mind getting bruised playing sports. On top of that, as a senior, her ''best friend was gay. We would go to Apex on Thursday nights. He would dress up like a girl and me like a boy.''
In addition to a part-time gig at Northern Virginia Community College, Rowe spends much of her time as a dog-walker. But her passion lies in burlesque. Along with fellow Gurly Lola Rose, Rowe intends to open a school of burlesque to train people in the art. They also hope to start a regular show at a straight venue.
Next Friday, April 15, Rowe, as Private Tails, will helm a ''Gurlies Gone Wild'' party at Phase 1. ''It's seriously up for interpretation,'' Rowe says. ''We've got some people going animalistic, [and] some people are going…a little bit trashier, with aspects of insane asylums and mental institutions, that kind of wild.''
Rowe says it not just her mother who supports her burlesque dancing. Two of her straight sisters have ''been completely floored by exactly what I do. [And] my uncle wants to come to a show now. It's crazy.
''There's a lot of people who want the strip-club experience without all the danger and taboo," concludes Rowe. "And that's kind of what we provide.''
The next DC Gurly Show is Friday, April 15, starting at 10:30 p.m. Phase 1, 525 8th St. SE. Cover is $5. Call 202-544-6831 or visit phase1dc.com.

Appearance: Pours a deep amber/orange, quite hazy. Even though clarity was poor, I do appreciate the color of this brew. It's capped with a nice, fluffy head of off-white bubbles. Mostly very fine foam, some larger bubbles. It immediately begins sticking to the glass, leaving some nice patches.
Aroma: Quite hoppy, definitely some tropical fruit in there, a bit of citrus, but balanced by a good amount of pine and even a little herbal, minty character. The hops seem balanced, with no single overwhelming aroma. There is definitely a bit of sweet malt backbone underlying that hoppy character.
Taste: Whoa. Definitely not what I was expecting from a blend of two hoppy beers from two brewers who like hops. The taste really leads with some sweet maltiness. Almost tastes like a sweet Belgian malt profile, with caramel, toffee, and a little vanilla extract flavor. The hops come in surprisingly late, and are quite subdued compared to the nose. The fruitiness is toned down, and seem a bit less complex than in the aroma. Some floral and light fruity character is balanced with some good pine. The pine seems to be the only part that matches the nose. The hops also seem a little dry, earthy, spicy. Alcohol is pleasantly hidden, especially when the beer is still chilled. As it warms, perhaps a bit peeks through, but for 9.5%, it is very well hidden.
Mouthfeel: Decently full, a little oily, really coats the mouth. Carbonation is moderate to moderately low. It feels like a full, rich DIPA that really coats the mouth.
Overall: A surprisingly malty DIPA, with a sweet malt profile and a subdued hop profile. The hops are varied, and actually balance well with the maltiness. It is surprisingly balanced and drinkable, while boasting a 9.5% ABV.

Coming in a slim 330ml brown bottle, no BB date available on the beer label, served lightly chilled in Tripel Karmeliet's branded long-stemmed tulip-bulb shaped goblet.
A: pours a dark reddish amber hue, coming with a thick creamy dark beige froth settling to a thin carpet to last on top of constant and fine carbonation.
S: richly fruity on the nose, the exotic fruity and piney hops, flowery esters and fulsome malts are totally intertwined, to deliver a thick, jammy, bold aroma packed with sweet pink grapefruits, ripe lychees, ripe melons, ripe nectarines and pears, sour-sweet mangoes, random passion fruits, piney hops, sultanas, white prunes, creamy sherry, decent and not OTT caramely notes, flowery fragrance, added with a noticeable trace of warming alc. Against such a heavy body of diverse aromas, a mild tinge of acidity almost like that of white wine struggles through the middle, providing a little refreshing touch overall.
T: the thick and sweet malty foretaste packs a lot of intertwined fruitiness in the middle, mainly lychee flesh (on shells), super-sweet pink grapefruit, flowery & piney hoppiness, rounded phenol and a decent dose of acidity… then closely, the tea-stem-like tannic bitterness intensifies as the alc. warmth creeps down the palate, leaving behind a rather slick mouthfeel of hop resins alongside the deep flow of "robust" – not harsh – bitterness and caramely malt's aromatic flavour to linger. At the end of each sip, the chewy, tea-ish bitterness gets more and more noticeable, yet never feels rough or so tannic around the gum and taste buds, suggesting a wonderfully skilled work of multiple dry-hopping (as the website describes) was applied.
M&O: the mouthfeel is generally smooth and slightly lacking an ideal amount of carbonation, never cloying, just lightly slick to reflect the thick malt base, while keeping a medium-plus body, and the alc. hides well. Being a blend of Brewdog and Mikkeller's heavy IPAs before multiple times of dry-hopping, I find this beer surprisingly drinkable and pleasantly balanced. As it is not bottle-conditioned, I might have to consume the other three bottles soon, as the carbonation level does seem to wane over time.

On tap at Newhall Refinery in Newhall, CA.
Pours a fairly murky dark orange with a foamy beige head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, earth, citrus fruit, citrus zest, and alcohol aromas. Taste is much the same with sweet citrus and perfume-like flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a very good beer with a very nice sweet citrus alcohol flavor.

330ml bottle poured into tulip 27/7/13
A clear copper with just a lonely stream of slow bubbles but I know there's some bubbles hiding in there because there's a finger of foam that sticks around for a while leaving lots of random lace
S lots of tropical fruit, over-ripe pineapple, mango, guava, and lemon, pine and caramel rounds things out
T a little booze I wasn't smelling and some rind comes out, grapefruit juice and pine resin works well and its a little sweet, stereotypical DIPA and that works for me
M a little syrupy, a bitter bite, more bubbles then I could see in the glass, just a little heat and a lemon rind and pine finish
O well rounded and fairly well concealed booze, about what I look for in a DIPA, I'd drink this again
About what I expected when two great brewers meet to brew a DIPA, yet another welcome addition to Alberta's shelves

the first ipa I've seen with sediment on the bottom(?)
golden honey color, minimal head, unfiltered and thick.
smell is . . . very malty. not much hops, but we'll see in the taste.... could it be that it's 'retired' and i'm only now tasting it here in July???? I've gotten a LOT of OLD BEERS from Hollingshead deli in the past....
taste is.... okay, hops and bitterness is ther, but not overwhelming like a west coast ipa. taste is kind of funky and I don't know whether to attribute that to design or being OLD. no date on the bottle. kind of funky taste, i'm NOT getting the floral, grapefruit-y taste others are professing in earlier reviews so I am VERY skeptical of what I purchased from this 'deli' again....
it doesn't really taste 'bad', just kind of weird, ya know?

12oz glass at the official tap takeover @theundergroundedm.
This beer appears a clear medium bronzed amber hue, with two skinny fingers of thick, puffy, bubbly beige head, which leaves a wash of random inkblot lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells quite pungently of fleshy grapefruit rind, orange cream, pine resin, caramel pudding, rich toffee, and a floral, leafy, somewhat perfumed booze warming. The taste is rather sugary, dense caramel/toffee malt, sharp grapefruit juice, mild tropical fruit - guava and a hint of pineapple, mostly - wet pine needles, and more floral, earthy hops. Only a slight, and now abstracted, alcohol heat lingers at the edges.
The carbonation is quite soft and serene, the body a hefty medium-full weight, and actually fairly smooth, the hop prickliness kept to a dull hum, which even allows for some creamy twists. It finishes on the sweet side, as the malt holds steady, and the hops lose a lot of their bitter bite.
A pretty enjoyable DIPA, one that almost keeps it up through the (so-called) bitter end. Full, round, and with a well-integrated 19 proof booze, this is one heavy hitter that you'd better keep your fool head up around.

Bottle from Good Spirits Co, Glasgow (330ml, £3.80):
Mild amber with a thin looking, bubbly white head on top about 2 millimetres tall that manages to stay consistent.
Tropical fruits, lots of pine and some pretty strong grapefruit too. Strong bitter notes and a hint of alcohol along with some caramel malt undertones. This one was pretty much what I was expecting from a beer that had been dry hopped so many times, lots of pine and bitterness with some good tropical fruits and a nice sweetness to it as well.
Alcohol laced, sweet malt base and some very bitter flavours following it. There is also some strong pine hops as you would expect and a huge amount of tropical fruits and grapefruit too, together with some citrus and a hint of caramel. There is a bit of orange towards the end and a very bitter and hoppy finish.
Very bitter, some light alcohol that is covered by the sweetness and the bitterness. The body is about medium and the mouthfeel is a rather smooth and boozy feeling one.
Very bitter beer with some great tropical fruits and a nice caramel base that does well to cover the 9.5% abv. of this one. Whilst a very strong beer, this one was also a pleasure to drink and one that I will try to pick up again should Brewdog/Mikkeller decide to release it again in the future.

a deep orange/copper opaque pour with 2 fingers of off-white head, great head retention and nice lacing. smells of orange, lemon, citrusy grapefruit with a heavy malt profile. the flavor is very tangy and sweet at the same time. lots of sweet malt, with a good amount of citrusy hops, slight grapefruit towards the finish.. heavy barley flavor almost like a barley wine. this is a medium body beer on the heavy side, mild carbonation and has a sticky resinous feel to it.
this is a pretty good dipa, though i would have loved it fresh i'm sure - the hops seemed to fade quite a bit but the malt profile is insane. really tasty.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a nonic pint glass.
A- The beer pours out as an incredibly cloudy orangish amber with very minimal light penetration; Seems rather odd for the style. There is a slightly off white one-finger bubbly head that after dissipating, leaves behind a thick collar and an ample amount of lacing upon the surface.
S- The nose is full of faded hops combined with carmalized malts. There is a fruitiness too it that seems to be a huge mishmash of pommegranite, plum, strawberries and melon; really just a train wreck of scents that reminds me of how sugar-laden wildberry pie filling smells. Malts dominate the finish giving off a bready toffee-like aroma.
T- The taste is very caramelly and full of super faded hops. The malts give off a very grainy bready sweetness. There are also some notes of honey, and heather. There is a sour-like bitter finish very reminiscent of sour bread, that is rather unpleasant.
M- near the heavy side of having a medium body with somewhat lighter carbonation.
O- Its obvious that this beer is somewhat past its prime and that time did not do this ale any favors. Very unfortunate. I would have loved to try this fresh.

Purchased in NC in November and I thought a 9.5% DIPA would maintain its hoppiness far better than this one has, so my mistake in not drinking it immediately. Bottle pours a murky, orange brown, with almost no head . Not a visually appealing beer, and the (appropriate) oiliness is exaggerated by the lack of carbonation.
Aroma is unfortunately of faded hops, with an underlying caramelized malt sweetness. None of the citrus or floral tones for which I'd hoped. The flavour has held up better, as there is still a very nice bitterness to the finish. The high alcohol level is terrifyingly well hidden, and tropical fruit hop notes balance well against the red malt body.
Although I'm a fan of both Mikkeller and BrewDog, still struggle with having paid $7.99 for a faded 330 mL bottle...

What does a crazy Danish guy and a Scottish brewery know about making an American Imperial IPA? Apparentely, exactly what you'd expect from a Scottish beer: malt, honey, heather, and with a little hops tucked in at the end. Nice beer, kinda sweet, not what I'm looking for in a DIPA...

A nice cloudy amber color with a big bubbled off-white head that clears to a big ring. The lacing is solid. The aroma is very sweet, like pineapple lemon with a resiny edge and there's a decided toffee maple malt. A bit odd but not bad. The flavor brings a huge sweet lemony resin hop with cracker malt backbone. There's some grassiness and alcohol grain. It's definitely a bit unusual, a little sour, and pretty much cloying. The body is medium-full with a mildly syrupy feel, pleasant carbonation that creates some frothy texture. This is not exactly a brew you'll dream about revisiting, a little too sweet for me, but it's a fun experience for one.

Taste is outrageous pefection. One of the best imperial IPA I have ever had. Knowing this is from Brewdog/Mikkeller made it extra special.
Thick sweet hoppiness with more gravity than a traditional IPA. Booze is subtle with this brew.

On-tap, served in a tulip
The body is a hazy orange amber with a fluffy ecru cap. The cap rises two fingers and settles slowly, clinging to the glass all the way down. Nice sheets of lacing. The nose is predominantly of spicy and earthy hops with a large toffee aroma and some orange citrus leaping out of the middle. On the palate, the toffee and caramel backbone are prominent, with flavors of earth, tea leaves, spice, and orange peel. A sticky mouthfeel, big and chewy with low carbonation. This is a tasty IPA blend, but it is nothing overly special.

my girlfriend and i liked this one a lot. it pours a rich cipper color, much darker than we expected, with a nice caramel colored head about two inches tall and leaving thick lacing on the sides of the glass. the nose is more balanced than i am used to in such a big ipa, english caramel malts are present amongst the heavy hopping. the hops are pineappley and piney in both nose and taste, especially as the beer warms up a bit. its very crisp in the finish, with a good dose of bitter left in the mouth. there is also some sweeter butterscotchy elements on the front end, but they are quickly overpowered. feel works well, its heavy for sure, full full body and a lot of alcohol than you can really feel. carbonation is moderate, and this is definitely a one beer per session kind of brew. overall a lot of flavor packed into this ipa, and in my mind mikkeller can do no wrong.

Pours very cloudy amber. The nose on this one is...different. I feel compelled to say rose petals, or something like that. It strikes me as much more floral (in a petal sense), than I can recall in any other beer. But on to the most important aspect: how it tastes. It's okay I guess. Interesting and smooth, though there is a hop spicyness that nips in a slightly subtle way. The most interesting aspect of this beer is probably the feel which is extremely smooth and borders on silky. I have to say, though, that for a beer that costs $9, I should probably be getting a whole lot more from the experience. I think that's probably one reason why I'm now more willing to spend less than $2 on a beer from some place that I've probably never heard of instead of an exhorbitant amount for a "decent" beer from some uber popular brewery.

Reviewed from session notes.
Murky brownish amber with a tan creamy 1cm head, minimal lacing, the foam lasts for about a minute.
Smells of semi-boozey caramel, peaches, ginger, and orange peel. In a very appealing balance with medium strength resin aroma, I should add.
Tastes of solid pine resin, grapefruit, boiled hop oil, and a couple of squirts of those liquid bitters used to make fancy cocktails. About 85% of the strength of the peachy fruitiness from the nose are unfortunately masked by the booze and resinous hopping flavor. For a short while mid-sip , the malt flavor seems to vanish and comes back again just before the finish begins.
Medium-heavy body and medium carbonation keeps things moving around in the mouth. A bt of oily slippery-ness in the mouth does detract from the experience.
If only it was slightly less greasy in texture and kept some more of the promised fruit and the citrus peel aspects from the nose in the flavor, this would have been dialed in to my preferences much better than it is.

A 330ml bottle with no visible BB date (not sure why, though the label suggests that this is destined for the US market where there is no dating requirement). Picked up from Trembling Madness in York just the other week. I've had this once before and thought it was fantastic - been looking forward to it ever since the latest batch was announced.
Poured into a Duvel tulip. A deep orange-amber hue with medium carbonation. Produces a decent head of creamy off-white foam that lasts for a minute or so before reducing to a surface layer. An intense aroma of citrus and pine, underpinned by subtle malt and earthy yeast notes. The abundant aromatic hops have a dry, sherbet-like quality. A whiff of alcohol can be discerned in the background.
Tastes like a sackfull of aromatic hops with an intense bitter finish. Notes of grapefruit, citrus, peel, resinous pine, earthy yeast, caramel malt and stewed hops. Considerable bitterness upon swallowing, along with a warming hint of booze. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with good body and a strident astringency. Dries the palate thoroughly and leaves a lingering aftertaste of bitter aromatic hops.
Bam - hops! This is a fantastic brew; makes my list of top-tier IPAs. Tons of hop aroma and flavour, while the malt takes a back seat (this sets it apart from US west-coast IPAs). Spicy, oily citrus with a hint of pine. Very dry, with a lemon character. Nice body and great mouthfeel. I've only had one of the two beers that are blended to create this (Hardcore), but the result is peerless. If you come across this, don't pass up the opportunity to try it.

VERMILLION — For Tim Cowman, the best classroom for learning about the Missouri River can't be found in any building.
Instead, the best site lies over the bluffs and down the highway — on and along the river itself.
Cowman directs the Missouri River Institute (MRI) at the University of South Dakota. The MRI develops and promotes research, education and public awareness of the natural and cultural resources of the Missouri River Basin.
Cowman spoke Wednesday about the MRI during its annual research symposium on the USD campus. The daylong event featured academic and environmental experts discussing the science and future of the Missouri River.
The MRI benefits from its location and its ability to provide hands-on experience for students, staff and the general public, Cowman said. MRI students and staff find all three stages of the river within a few miles of campus, he said.
"We are physically along the Missouri River with a wide diversity of conditions," he said. "We have the impounded water behind the reservoirs, the free-flowing sections of water and the channelized river from Sioux City to its mouth."
The nearby Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR) contains two sections designated as wild and scenic river. The 59-mile segment runs from Gavins Point Dam near Yankton to Ponca, Neb., while the 39-mile segment runs from Pickstown to Springfield.
The MRI draws its strength from USD experts, Cowman said. Their areas range from biology and earth science to cultural studies and humanities such as history and anthropology, Cowman said.
"We also have the School of Law that works with water law and policy," he said. "Just now, we are adding the School of Education and getting them involved so we have education and outreach with the K-12 students."
MRI collaborates with federal and state agencies and other academic institutions such as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Cowman said. The groups conduct broad research ranging from geological and biological studies to water quality and cultural history, he said.
New research initiatives allow USD students to work on a graduate degree related to river studies, Cowman said.
"The student works for two years on a specialized area, and another student comes in later and picks up on it and keeps it going," he said. "We can piece together a long-term study for the habitat on the Missouri River."
Researchers map a dynamic river, ranging from deep to very shallow areas with shifting sand dunes and sand bars, Cowman said.
"The river meanders over time," he said. "It's tough to get a handle on the main channel and what it does to the banks."
The research has paid off and gained national recognition, Cowman said. The MRI won an award for best poster at the Geological Society of America meeting in Oregon.
The MRI seeks to provide new educational opportunities, Cowman said. Classes use USD faculty and guest expert lecturers from the Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; the National Park Service and state agencies.
The issues are as varied as the river itself, Cowman said.
"At Gavins Point Dam, you have the hydropower. You have the sediment issues at Springfield," he said. "You have the river travel with boats, and you have the natural sandbars and the (Endangered Species Habitat) with the Corps."
Student learn by doing, conducting work and studies on the river, Cowman said. "You see firsthand what the process is like on the river rather than learning just by lecture," he said.
The "Missouri River Science and Ecosystem Management" course brings in 13 guest speakers on various issues. The interdisciplinary approach looks at Native American issues, economic development, recreation and tourism, private landowners and biodiversity.
"It's certainly a unique class with a unique approach and a variety of students," Cowman said.
The "Science, Culture and History of the Missouri River" program at Ponca State Park in northeast Nebraska targets K-12 teachers. The program has even drawn a teacher from the Des Moines, Iowa, area and studies river ecology, water quality and cultural history.
Ponca State Park offers not only an ideal location for research and teaching but also a unique stretch of the Missouri River, Cowman said.
"It's the place where you have the last few miles of unchannelized river of the MNRR, then it changes," he said. "It shows both sides of the river and its transition from unchannelized to channelized."
As part of its mission, the MRI also conducts the Missouri River Oral History Project, Cowman said.
"We are using South Dakota Public Broadcasting and the Contemporary Media students (at USD) to interview people who lived along the river in the pre-dam era," he said. "We are capturing their stories and their view of the river then versus now."
The final product will be available by DVD documentary, video podcasts and Web site, Cowman said.
The MRI, in conjunction with other agencies and groups, has launched the MNRR Water Trail, Cowman said. The 78-mile segment of the Missouri River runs from Gavins Point Dam near Yankton to Sioux City.
The water trail is an effort by a sponsor group comprised of several academic, federal, state, local and non-profit organizations.
The segment of the river from Ft. Randall Dam to Gavins Point Dam will be added to this water trail in the future. The sponsor group's activities include improving public access to the river, establishing trailheads and routes, and building an interactive Web site to plan float trips and disseminate information.
"We held a float event last August as a kick-off. We had 87 people on a three- to four-hour paddle down the river," Cowman said. "On May 22, we're having another float event to promote the water trail."
Wednesday's research symposium was part of the MRI education and outreach. The presentations were digitally recorded and will be available within a week on the MRI Web site at www.usd.edu/mri. The 2008 and 2009 presentations are also available on the Web site.
This year's presentation topics included management strategies for the river, interim management plans for recent land acquisitions along the river, the effect of owl trapping and removal on piping plover hatchling survival, impact of sediment in runoff from tributaries on Missouri River water quality and Missouri River education initiatives.
Wednesday's symposium provided tremendous learning opportunities, said Theresa Smydra, director of Missouri River Futures based in Hartington, Neb.
"It allows me to get up to date on what is going on with the Missouri River Institute," she said. "We have different events and a couple projects on the river, and this (symposium) is a great way to learn about other events."
Smydra said she enjoyed learning about a wide range of topics. She noted in particular the presentation on the pallid sturgeon research and recovery efforts. She also learned more about the plans for recent land acquisitions along the river.
Wednesday's event also contained an important announcement about the Missouri River Authorization Purposes Study (MRAPS), Smydra said.
"They are holding meetings from May through August, with two of them in Yankton and Sioux City," she said. "At the meetings, they will have stations with an open house format."
Smydra said she was glad to learn more about the MRI research, including opportunities for graduate students. She also wants to see continued communication and understanding among river stakeholders, including landowners.
The MRI symposium provides a major step in the right direction, she said.
"Partnerships are huge, and any outreach is good," she said. " In recent years, I have seen more cooperation and better awareness. There is more sharing of information — what they are trying to do and where they are coming from.
"There are still 'territories' (among agencies and organizations), but the communication has gotten a lot better."
