Raphaël Varane's first-half goal gave France a slender advantage to take to Norway for the second leg of their UEFA European Under-21 Championship play-off.
France had been been a potent, fluid force in the group stage, but were unable to get into their stride against combative opponents in Le Havre. Only Varane found a way through, heading in on 22 minutes; the hosts' inability to add to that lead means they will face a tense trip to Drammen for Tuesday's second leg.
Les Bleuets had shown great goalscoring prowess in the group stage with contributions coming from all over the pitch. Varane had chipped in too, and added his third of the qualifying campaign when a quickly-taken corner was flicked on, leaving the Real Madrid CF centre-back to direct a close-range header beyond Arild Østbø.
While France coach Eric Mombaerts had warned his team Norway's game is no longer fashioned on old-school directness, the hosts themselves wasted little time in cutting to the chase. Clément Grenier twice delivered crosses that Wissam Ben Yedder headed wide while Grenier was also alert enough to free Anthony Knockaert. The midfielder should have made better use of the pass than cut inside and run into a red-shirted bank of defenders.
Sensing the hosts were not showing the sort of form with which they had swept through the group stage, Norway showed greater initiative after the break. Anders Konradssen and Jo Inge Berget both zipped shots wide before the latter's bustling run and shot brought a first save of the game from Ali Ahamada.
Østbø was as eye-catching as his garish fluorescent kit as he leapt to his left to paw away Yann M'Vila's measured effort before turning away Knockaert's drive equally spectacularly to keep Norway's hopes alive as the hosts pressed for a second goal that never came.

Royal Ballet First Artist Fernando Montaño has been nominated for a Personality of the Year Award at The Air Europa Latin UK Awards (LUKAS).
The awards, now in their second year, celebrate the culture of Latin American, Spanish and Portuguese communities in the UK.
Fernando, originally from Colombia, has been a First Artist with The Royal Ballet since 2010, and has danced a wide range of works, ranging from the role of the Jester in Frederick Ashton's Cinderella, to the role of the Caterpillar in Christopher Wheeldon's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
For the next three months, nominees are put to the public vote: the primary round of voting runs until 15 January, following which the top five most voted nominees enter a second round, which closes on 15 February.
The winners will be announced during a celebratory Gala Ceremony, described by Carlos Acosta as "the most sought after annual Latino event".
To vote, go to the LUKAS site.


text: Today at noon, Maryland's lawmakers will gather for the 433rd session in the state's history to deliberate on an estimated 2,500 bills (ranging from education funding to what to name the official state sandwich!). For the next 90 days, these lawmakers will debate and pass legislation that will affect not only Maryland's waterways but the health of the Chesapeake Bay and the sustainability of the world's oceans. As part of National Aquarium's mission to inspire conservation of the world's aquatic treasures, our Government Affairs team is committed to shaping conservation and environmental policy at the local, state and federal levels. National Aquarium's Government Affairs team will be fighting for the following conservation priorities at the State level: Shark Fin Bill: Legislation that would make Maryland the first East Coast state to ban the possession, sale and trade of shark fins in order to provide critical protection to endangered shark populations; Plastic Bag Bill: Legislation to curb the use of plastic bags, similar to laws passed in Washington, D.C. and Montgomery County; Container Deposit Bill: Legislation to incentivize the recycling of beverage containers that would increase recycling rates from (a dismal) 25 percent to 75 percent or more. Want to stay informed? The National Aquarium Government Affairs team will be sending regular legislative updates on these conservation policy priorities and ways you can get involved throughout the session! For more information on how the National Aquarium is living its mission in Maryland, visit www.aqua.org/Maryland. Want to know who represents you? Find your legislator here. We will also be bringing you periodic legislative updates on our WATERblog! In addition to pushing for these top conservation priorities, there are numerous bills being discussed that impact our community and environment. Is there an issue you're passionate about this session? Join the conservation on Twitter and/or Facebook and let us know!

Art in the Kitchen
When Michelin-starred chef Massimo Bottura re-interprets a classic Italian dish, he reduces it to its emotional essence and tries giving it a new, artful form.
Thus he reduced his lasagne to "the crunchy part", because that's the part he loved best as a child. At first, is modern, minimalist way of cooking did not go down well with the traditional Italians – they stayed away from the restaurant. Now, however, the restaurant has won 3 Michelin-stars and holds the second place on the "World's Best Restaurants" list.
In our video, Bottura explains why necessity is the mother of invention even in the kitchen and also which ingredient no dish should lack.

Design. Makes a splash. Takes a splash.
iPhone 7 reaches a new level of innovation and precision. The jet black finish is like nothing we've ever made.3 The enclosure is splash and water resistant.4 The Home button is completely reengineered. And with a new unibody design that's seamless to the touch, iPhone 7 feels as amazing as it looks.
iPhone 7 Plus Camera. Two cameras that shoot as one.
iPhone 7 Plus doesn't have just one entirely new camera system — it has two. The same 12MP wide-angle camera that's on iPhone 7 works with a 12MP telephoto camera that can get even closer. That means you can get higher-quality zoom from farther away. And with an all-new depth-of-field effect (coming soon), portrait shots will look better than ever. Say hello to the world's best photo op.
Retina HD Display. The brightest, most colorful iPhone display yet.
Almost everything you experience with your iPhone comes to life on its display. It's where you look at the photos, messages, news, and countless other things that make up your day. The iPhone 7 display uses the same color space as the digital cinema industry, so what you see will be noticeably more brilliant and vibrant. Because we all deserve a bit more brightness in our day.
A10 Fusion Chip. The most powerful chip ever in a smartphone.
iPhone 7 is supercharged by the most powerful chip ever in a smartphone. It's not just faster than any previous iPhone — it's also more efficient. That's because the A10 Fusion chip uses an all-new architecture that enables faster processing when you need it, and the ability to use even less power when you don't. You can work at twice the speed of iPhone 6 and still enjoy more time between charges.
Audio. iPhone. Now in stereo.
For the first time, iPhone comes with stereo speakers, delivering two times the audio output of iPhone 6s and increased dynamic range. So whether you're listening to music, watching videos, or making speakerphone calls, iPhone 7 lets you crank it up. Way, way up.
Wi-Fi and Cellular. Faster LTE with the best worldwide roaming.
iPhone 7 features LTE Advanced, with speeds up to 450 Mbps for data downloads — over 50 percent faster than iPhone 6s and three times faster than iPhone 6.5 And thanks to even more LTE bands, you'll have the best worldwide roaming available in a smartphone. Happy travels.
Software. iOS. It's why there's nothing else like an iPhone.
iOS brings iPhone to life in incredibly personal and powerful ways. The interface is beautiful and easy to use. Intelligent suggestions appear right when you need them. And advanced technologies protect your privacy and security. Once you've experienced iOS, you'll understand why so many people love using iPhone.

featuring John Fahey, Bert Jansch, Jorma Kaukonen, Will Ackerman, Bert Jansch, Adrian Legg, Buster B. Jones, Preston Reed and Woody Mann
"This three DVD set features new and archival footage of performances by the preeminent names in steel-string fingerstyle guitar. Beginning with Peter Finger's breathtaking 'A Trip Through The Pyrenees', the collection boasts some real gems: a rare late 1960s clip of Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady - a.k.a. Hot Tuna doing 'Hesitation Blues', Bert Jansch delivering a soulful version of 'One For Jo', John Fahey crooning while plucking a Gibson L-00 on a plaintive 'Poor Boy' and Adrian Legg at his peg-twisting best on 'Midwest Sunday'... It's a wonder seeing these greats do what they do up close without those often clumsy instructional asides, and without getting a lot of smoke in your face. A real treat." - Guitar Player
The "folk boom" which exploded in the wake of the Kingston Trio's 1958 hit, Tom Dooley, produced some surprising fallout. Acoustic guitar sales suddenly skyrocketed and a new generation of players quickly sized up the instrument's potential. It proved to be astonishing, once the secrets of fingerstyle guitar unfolded before the instrument's future masters. The performances in this DVD series present two generations of artists who have advanced the acoustic guitar's cause with formidable boldness. We clearly hear their folk, blues, and country roots even as they develop other distinctly personal harmonic and melodic pathways. Bonus material is included on each volume.
Titles Includes: PETER FINGER A Trip Through The Pyrenees BERT JANSCH One For Jo, Black Waterside ADRIAN LEGG Cajun Interlude, Midwest Sunday JORMA KAUKONEN Man's Fate, Hesitation Blues BUSTER B. JONES Wild Turkey, Live At Five JOHN FAHEY Poor Boy, In Christ There Is No East Or West, Red Pony PRESTON REED Slap Funk WOODY MANN Lennie's Lament WILL ACKERMAN A Bricklayer's Beautiful Daughter
Bonus Instructional Tracks: BUSTER B. JONES Sitting On Top Of The World JOHN FAHEY Some Summer Day

I've seen digital pens before. They seem like a neat alternative for students who don't have a laptop or just can't be bothered to lug a laptop to each and every class. You write as normal and the pen remembers each pen stroke and can upload all your notes or doodles to a computer at a later time.
A key difference with the Zpen is that it doesn't require special paper to record the data(paper that is usually rather expensive). The battery-powered Zpen can use regular sheet paper. It comes with a receiver that you clip to the top of the paper you are writing on. It also has handwriting to digital text conversion software built into the pen.
The Zpen has 1 GB of storage space and connects via USB. The price is a little steep at £99.99 which is roughly $180 US.

Dive In
Designed for open water and pool swimming, Forerunner 910XT is water resistant to 50 m (164 ft). It's our first multisport watch to offer extensive swim metrics, including swim distance, stroke identification, stroke count and pool lengths. It also computes your swolf score to help you gauge your swimming efficiency. (Swolf is a combination of the words 'swim' and 'golf' and it is a way of calculating a swimmer's efficiency. To find your Swolf score your lap time is added to the number of strokes you have taken. Eg. if it takes you 20 seconds to swim a lap and you took 15 strokes your score would be 35.) The 910XT's robust design and easy operation make it suited for other water sports, including paddle boarding.
Because it's GPS-enabled, Forerunner 910XT even captures the path you travelled so you can view it later on a map in our free online community, Garmin Connect™. This feature can help you analyse your open water swimming and adjust your technique as needed.
Transition Seamlessly
Whether you're training or racing, every second counts, so the 910XT makes it easy and seamless to transition between sports. The auto multisport feature lets you switch sport modes with just 1 button press, so you don't lose precious seconds in transition. The optional quick release mount allows you to move the 910XT easily from wrist to bike.
Try it Dry
On land, Forerunner 910XT offers many of the features of Garmin's advanced cycling computers and sportswatches to accurately capture your time, distance, speed or pace and more. The 910XT is our first multisport device to incorporate a barometric altimeter for highly accurate elevation data, including ascent, descent and gradient. Configurable data fields let you customise multiple training pages for each sport. Set up vibration alerts to give a silent nudge when you hit a split, when it's time to take nutrition or if you need a little feedback to stay within range of your goals. With these high-level features and up to 20 hours of battery life, the 910XT is ideal for athletes training for ultras or iron distance tris.
Take it to the Next Level
For advanced training, the 910XT is compatible with ANT+® sensors, including the optional speed/cadence sensor for cycling or premium heart rate monitor (included with some models). You can pair the 910XT with an existing ANT+ heart rate monitor or purchase as an accessory.
And for those data-driven athletes, the 910XT also is compatible with ANT+ power meters, like Vector®, Garmin's pedal-based power meter.
Plan, Analyse and Share
Make the most of every workout by uploading to Garmin Connect. Here, you can see your activity on a map and view detailed metrics. You also can use Connect to plan new routes, create and schedule custom workouts and explore activities from other users. Through the magic of ANT+ wireless technology and the tiny USB stick that comes with your 910XT, your workout data automatically transfers to your computer when in range. Mac® and PC compatible.

A homeschooling friend and I were commiserating about the difficulties we'd faced lately. "I feel," I told her, "like I'm giving my children a middling attempt at an excellent education."
"Yes," she said. "And that's going to have to be good enough."
The great thing about Catholic homeschooling is that there are so many choices of programs and approaches. We had each settled into curricula that suited our needs and preferences, and that offered as good an education as anything available today. Executed perfectly, our children would receive a world-class education.
Unfortunately when we ordered our books and course plans, both programs said they had completely sold-out of their inventory of perfect moms. We'd have to make do with the ones we already had at home.
I called my sister, who's a pro at finding the best school in any city, getting her children into the right programs, and working with the teachers. She said her new school district was fresh out of perfection, too. They'd had the same the problem the last place she lived, and the one before that.
As homeschooling moms, we can sometimes agonize too much about whether our homeschools are good enough. Yes, we should work diligently. Yes, we should take steps to address problems and improve with time. Sometimes we have to honestly admit that homeschooling isn't the best choice for this child for this year. But what we shouldn't do is grade ourselves against a fictional standard.
What are my other choices? It's just lovely about that homeschooling family that speaks fluent Latin, and makes all their clothing by hand while listening to classical music – is that mom accepting more children just now? My sister's children were able to attend a wonderful magnet school for the sciences – I don't live in that state, let alone that school district.
When we were choosing a school for my eldest, I considered a parish school that was a little bit of a drive, but maybe doable. But my husband, an ardent non-Catholic at the time, would never have agreed to paying tuition to a Catholic school. No matter how much I wanted to support the local Catholic schools, I had to cross that choice off my list.
We tend to grade our school choices as if we're playing in the Fantasy Education League. How does my school compare to that perfect mom in Wisconsin, that private boarding school run by monks in Switzerland, and the public school my dad graduated from in 1962? Doesn't matter.
My children are receiving a pretty good education, and I like to think it's only getting better. God knows where He planted my little ones. He picked out not just a mom with my strengths, but also a mom with my weaknesses. He can use all of it. If I'm cooperating with His grace, it is sufficient.

Austerity is Bad for Competitiveness
I wrote this piece with my friend Jean-Luc Gaffard. It is part of our ongoing thinking on the early steps of the new French administration. But I think it applies beyond France.
The French government faces a double challenge. The short run effects of the euro crisis compound a long-standing problem of competitiveness: from 1997 to 2012, the French market share fell from 5.3% to 3.3% of world exports. France is therefore suffering more than its neighbors, notably Germany, for the current slowdown.
In response to these challenges, François Hollande designed a two-arms strategy. First, he embraced austerity. To reduce public deficit to 3% next year, the French government presented a shocking 36 billion euros budget law for 2013. That will be mostly composed of tax increases. The second arm of the government strategy, a "competitiveness pact", was, initially, aimed at shifting an important part of the burden of social security (20 billions euros) from firm contributions to the general taxation.

This beautiful ring feature 0,25 Old Mine Cut Diamond decorated with 0.40 Single Cut Diamonds crafted in Platinum.
Design Era: Art Deco (1915-1935).
Art Deco (1915-1935) received its moniker from the Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, held in Paris in 1925, which was largely dedicated to the jewelry arts. Emphasis was placed on the association of art and modern industry. Inspiration for this style was as far reaching as Oriental, African and South American Art and as varied as Cubism and Fauvism, both popular movements at the time. The term "Cubism" was often used to describe jewelry of this era because of the angles, geometric lines and figurative representations used in its execution. A desire to eliminate the flowing lines of Art Nouveau and distill designs to their rudimentary geometric essence, thus eliminating seemingly unnecessary ornament, resulted in the cleaner and more rigid lines employed in Art Deco jewelry. A look forward toward modernism and the machine age also featured prominently at this juncture in jewelry history.
During the Art Deco era, advancements in cutting techniques, including the advent of the modern round brilliant cut style, allowed for diamonds to become more dazzling and scintillating than ever before. Meanwhile, prosperity was permitting more people to afford diamond jewelry and engagement rings. New casting techniques further increased accessibility, as jewelers discovered more efficient ways to produce the most intricately detailed of settings.
Diamonds with this cut possess a squarish girdle with gently rounded corners. Old mine cut diamonds have a high crown, a small table, and a large, flat culet. They are similar to today's cushion cut. The old mine cut dates to the 1700s and was most prevalent during the Georgian and Victorian eras.
A single cut diamond has a large table and an octagonal girdle. The culet, or bottom edge of the diamond, may be pointed or it may be flat. A single cut diamond usually has 18 facets. The single cut is an extremely old diamond cut dating to the 1300s.
The element platinum derives its name from the Spanish Platina del Pinto which translates to 'little silver from the Pinto' (said to be a river near Popayan, Columbia in which alluvial platinum was first found by the Spanish Conquistadors). Its white metallic luster leaves little doubt as to why the Spanish chose the name. Platinum belongs to a group of elements, fittingly called the platinum group of metals. Apart from platinum the group comprises Osmium, Iridium, Palladium, Rhodium and Ruthenium. Platinum is often found as natural alloys containing one or more of these other elements and it wasn't until 1804 that all but one of the elements were isolated and named. Platinum is malleable, ductile and very strong. In addition, it does not tarnish and it doesn't corrode making it a highly prized metal and extremely suitable for the manufacture of fine jewelry.
Authenticity, antiquity, decorative periods, vintages and or circa dating are determined to the best of our ability based on materials incorporated, methods of manufacture, design, hallmarks and signatures, lapidary techniques, technological developments and consultation of our extensive reference library and materials. Dating and period attributions are not an exact science as decorative periods frequently overlap and borrow influences from one another.
Some of our pieces are mounted in a way that makes it difficult to determine a precise stone's grading. Diamonds and colored gemstones that cannot be removed from their vintage settings without harm to the piece are evaluated in their mountings using industry-standard measurements and formulas. Jewelry descriptions and all carat weights stated represent approximates. Mounted stone(s) is/are graded only insofar as mounting permits observation. All diamonds shown on our website are natural, untreated diamonds.
Most colored gemstones (i.e. rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) are commonly treated to enhance colour or clarity. This has not been researched for this specific item.
We cannot guarantee that the color you see matches the item color, as the display of color depends, in part, upon the type of computer monitor used to observe the image.

Then I install mactex and emacs using cask.
I install Dropbox, so my research directories get to sync.
These days Opera is my browser of choice.
I use f.lux and caffeine to get my monitor to behave.
I can't live without some keyboard customizations. I open keyboard preferences, and get function keybindings to work without requiring the pressing of fn key. While there I map the CAPSLOCK to Control key. I use alt-left/right to traverse between desktops.
My Emacs customization takes some time. I use the modularized emacs24-starter kit at http://eschulte.github.io/emacs24-starter-kit/. It is great, it has good defaults, but it would be much better if it has better documentation and instructions.
Since I install emacs using cask rather than from binary, I get to enjoy good package-manager support using ELPA. To see the available packages type M-x package-show-package-list. I install auctex, exec-path-from-shell, ipython, magit, python-mode, tomatinho, visual-fill-column.

In the driveway of an East Palo Alto cottage, wearing a 3 1/2-foot-tall headdress and long braids down its back, a 12-foot-tall redwood god of war named Ku towered above three Tongan wood carvers.
Hardwood mallets pounded against chisels, the sound mingling with the rhythmic rasp of a large scraper and the rumbling of trucks on U.S. Highway 101, a stone's throw from the Green Street home.
Tualau Tauheluhelu (pronounced Too-uh-low Tow-hay-loo-hay-loo), 57, was shaping a 4-foot-tall Tiki god of good luck and peace. His large, muscular hands moved over the black acacia wood's burled surface as if sensing a life to be coaxed from its grain.
Two of Tauheluhelu's students, Malakai Vimahi and Gary Feao, worked intently over their Tikis. They made zigzag patterns, grimacing mouths and piercing eyes by gouging out U-shaped bits of wood in shades of brown, red and yellow. Their tools were simple, visceral: rough, calloused hands; legs forming a vise to steady their carvings.
Because of the recession, regular daytime work has dried up for many Tongan men who worked in construction, said Tauheluhelu, a carpenter and master carver. So he has turned full time to the art form he has loved since his youth in Tonga: custom carving. He has started teaching other Tongan men in East Palo Alto how to carve and do carpentry so they will be able to work and maintain a strong sense of their culture.
"I'm doing it for free for my people," he said.
Tauheluhelu currently teaches about 10 students and plans to add others. The men arrive at different times throughout the day, sitting in the driveway with Tauheluhelu as they work on their projects under his watchful eye. Eventually, Tauheluhelu hopes, they will get work carving custom sculptures or marketing their products through galleries, stores or at festivals.
The market for Tiki sculpture is thriving these days, Tauheluhelu said. There has been a resurgence ranging from collections of vintage Tiki mugs to hotel and bar decorations. Tauheluhelu gets many calls for the latter, he said.
Feao said he is hoping some of that interest will turn into lucrative work for him.
"Nobody has a job. I am learning so I can have a chance to make money," he said. He has been carving for two weeks, and three of his sculptures lay at his feet on a recent Monday, awaiting a final coat of sealant.
The term "Tiki" is derived from the language of the Marquesa Islands (a closely related tongue to Tongan and Samoan) and Maori in New Zealand, according to dictionary definitions.
Some believe the statues of stone or wood originated as representations of creation mythology. Their size ranges from neck pendants to totem poles. Capt. James Cook's expedition was the first to describe them in English in the late 1700s.
The humanoid statues represent gods such as the guardian of the underworld, god of war, god of peace and progenitors of birds, people and fishes. They are found in Polynesian cultures from many Pacific islands, including New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga and Hawaii.
Tiki as a mainland cultural phenomenon began in California in 1934 with the first Tiki bar opening in Hollywood and in 1937 when Trader Vic's opened in the East Bay. It took hold after World War II with a proliferation of Tiki-themed kitsch, cuisine and drinks after servicemen returned from the Pacific, according to writer Wayne Curtis's 2006 article, "How sex, rum, World War II, and the brand-new state of Hawaii ignited a fad that has never quite ended."
The 1990s saw a return of interest in Tiki sculpture that continues to become stronger even as the presence of Pacific Islanders has grown in the United States. The Tongan population alone in the U.S. has increased 55.2 percent from 2000 to 2010 -- the second-largest jump of any Polynesian group. In California, the number of Pacific Islanders has increased by 29.2 percent, according to the U.S. Census.
The culture of Tonga -- a South Pacific archipelago of 160 islands and more than 100,000 people -- is traditionally social and cooperative. Tongans emphasize extended family, interpersonal relationships and harmony. Status and relationships are determined by age and/or role in the family, according to a 2005 study by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Like many Tongans who have come to the U.S., Tauheluhelu arrived with a goal of leading a better life. He emigrated at age 18. Those in the Tongan community who know Tauheluhelu said they admire him for his dedication to craft and his desire to keep carving alive.
He started woodworking while still in school in Tonga, he said.
"When I came home, as a little kid I didn't have anything to play with. I started making dolls out of wood -- little Polynesian people. I grew up as a carpenter in a family of builders. I worked with my father. When I got off from high school, this was something that interested me. It was my favorite thing to do," he recalled.
After about two years he graduated from carving dolls to animals and birds, and later he went on to Tikis and large sculptures, he said.
As it was in his youth, carving remains a central part of his daily life. After a long day's work he still returns home to do his beloved craft.
"It makes me feel that it's a part of me," he said.
After 42 years of steadily carving everything from gods to dolphins, Tauheluhelu can nearly complete an elaborate 4-foot piece such as Lono, the god of luck and peace, in just a day, taking another day or two more to refine it, he said.
Tauheluhelu modestly does not call himself a master, but his accomplishments are many. He has done custom carving throughout the world, including stints in Rome and Florida. Last year he made 27 sculptures for Trader Vic's restaurants, and his carvings are at Disney World in Florida. He said he will carve anything and will go anywhere to carve. Among his repertoire are bears, land tortoises and birds.
"I do big fish -- big marlins. I've carved a lot of dolphins and pelicans."
He stopped at the thought.
"When I lived in Florida, it was pelican, pelican, pelican every day. I got so tired of pelicans," he said.
But then he smiled.
"One time a lady in the Chinese community wanted two pigs -- a lady pig and a man pig. They were wearing clothing. The man pig had a jacket and tie," he said.
Dennis Romero, owner of The Downtown Tiki Lounge Bar and Grill in San Mateo, learned of Tauheluhelu's talent after seeing the Tualau Wood Carvings stand in a gas station parking lot on Shoreview Avenue in San Mateo. He hired Tauheluhelu to carve banisters, doors and parts of the bar at his restaurant.
"Customers like the mermaids and turtles," Romero said.
Karen Chow bought one of his carvings for her son.
"Tualau is a wonderful artist and a soulful man. I met him when he came to De Anza (College) to display his wood and whalebone carvings. I bought a beautiful carved whalebone piece for my son for his second birthday," she said.
Chow, a professor of English, women's studies and Asian American studies at De Anza, has also found Tauheluhelu to be a repository of information on Pacific Island culture and art. Tauheluhelu has explained to Chow about how he incorporates both Pacific Islander and Maori motifs in his art, and she hopes to invite him to speak to her class next year, she said.
Tauheluhelu said he enjoys talking to students about the meaning of Pacific Island cultures. San Mateo County has the eighth largest population of Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders from all islands in the country, according to 2010 U.S. Census data. Roughly one-quarter of the 10,317 county residents -- 2,118 Pacific Islanders -- reside in East Palo Alto.
But overall they make up just 2.1 percent of the county's population. Their children are awash in cultural influences from other groups, which sometimes have led to conflicts, Tauheluhelu said.
The Tikis stand as reminders of a resilient culture that in many ways has not bent under the influences of the dominant society. At the Green Street home, Tikis will serve as portals to welcome Tongans new to the Bay Area or who want to maintain their heritage.
The home, known as a fofo'anga, is a meetinghouse central to Tongan life. It is a place where traditional song and oral traditions are kept alive.
Occasionally, community members will spend long days and nights drinking kava, a medicinal root-based beverage consumed during celebrations, weddings and funerals. Singing from the cottage can be heard through the neighborhood.
Tauheluhelu maintains a room at the East Palo Alto house, although he lives in San Mateo. Last year when their balloon-mortgage payments topped $4,500 a month, the original owners of the fofo'anga lost the house. Now the group rents the property from its new owner, he said.
Tauheluhelu would like to see the meetinghouse develop into a place where Tongans will expand their knowledge of their culture -- through activities such as making sculptures and handmade whalebone and animal-horn necklaces.
Raising a new generation of carvers and artisans in the Bay Area has special meaning to Tauheluhelu, who had no one to teach him when he was learning, he said.
The importance of carving -- and carving traditional imagery such as Tikis -- resonated deeply when he discussed his culture and attempts by outsiders to change it.
Tauheluhelu's demeanor changed, as if trying to suppress a deep and painful personal memory.
"These Tikis and totem poles remind people of the time before the missionaries came (to Tonga). They keep us in peace; they keep us reminded to love one another. The missionaries thought we worshipped these sculptures, so they burned them all. But these are symbols. We keep them in our culture as a reminder still. We understand these things as we understand there is one God the Father," he said of the Christianity many Tongans practice today.
Traditional Tongan cultural values include an emphasis on community that helps retain strong cultural identity, said Malissa Netane, community facilitator and Pacific Islander Initiative co-chair at the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center.
"Because of its core values of family, faith and culture, I don't think the Tongan community is in a position to be watered down," she said.
The support of families, villages and faith groups has kept homelessness low among Pacific Islanders, she said. Tauheluhelu has been part of a nonprofit group that welcomes newcomers here. New immigrants from Tonga are brought to the East Palo Alto meetinghouse until they have set up their own jobs and residences, he said.
Netane said that what Tauheluhelu is teaching is "absolutely" beneficial to the Tongan community.
Fathers teach their children their trades and traditions in Tonga, but a tradition of farming that might pass down among families might not continue in the U.S. In Tonga one doesn't need much to survive, but farming is about all the opportunity one would have, and no more, she said. People come here because they are seeking opportunities to advance in education and work. A father might want his son to be a doctor.
But Tauheluhelu is keeping something valuable alive and sharing it with other people, Netane said.
"What Tualau is doing is applying something that would be traditional at home. By Tualau doing this, he's offering an opportunity to be rekindling the tradition of carving. It's a good preventative strategy to help youth veer away from violence and crime," she said.
Malakai Vimahi is among the younger men learning traditional carving. In his early 30s and wearing an "I'm better when I'm drunk," sweatshirt, he dug deeply into a hardwood Tiki held across his lap, shaping elongated eyes. In just three days he would finish the 3-foot-tall Tiki.
Asked about what attracts him to carving, Vimahi shrugged.
"I like arts. This is supposed to be a traditional thing, and it reminds me of back home," he said. Tauheluhelu said Vimahi is already an accomplished carver. His family immigrated to Hawaii, where they have carved for the public for decades.
When he is not carving, Vimahi cuts hair for a living and plays guitar. He performs during the meetinghouse singing ceremonies, he said. He spoke little, deferring to Tauheluhelu, his teacher.
On a woven mat Tauheluhelu arranged two large tortoises, a small bear and an array of Tikis in the dappled shade. A sculpture of smoothly sanded dolphins leaping from the sea stood out on a wooden pedestal. Their sleekness and made-for-the-public feel contrasted strikingly with the more traditional sculpture.
Tauheluhelu said he isn't worried about the next generation assimilating too quickly, especially if the tradition of the meetinghouse continues.
"I don't think our culture will ever be lost. We have here a social group. We have kept this place -- and this place belongs to each of us," he said.

More Kraftin Kimmie peeks!
Today we at Kraftin Kimmie stamps are traveling back in time to the fab 50's for our previews. Annie's new girls are neat-o, seriously... who doesn't love a bouffant hair-do, high heels and some horn-rimmed glasses! ;)
My preview card features Patsy and I think she is just the bee's knees! She's all decked out in her best dress and ready to go down to the soda shop on a Friday night. Patsy loves the new rock 'n roll music so I wouldn't be surprised to see her sneak off to the sock hop with some of her friends afterwards... LOL!
When I saw the 50's theme I knew right away that I wanted to use the October Afternoon Modern Homemaker papers and goodies to really set the perfect scene for miss Patsy and they didn't disappoint. But when it came time to the final embellishing I wanted to add some little music notes coming out of the radio... I searched and searched but no where in my stash were there any music notes! What to do, what to do? Finally I looked in my pearl drawer and an idea struck... I could use some black pearls and then finish off the look I wanted by drawing in some lines with a black pen. Yeah, problem solved! :)
Ok, so to see the rest of today's sneak peeks head on over to the Kraftin Kimmie blog for a complete list of all the Krafty Gals' blogs... total eye candy! And all of the new stamps will be available on Sunday the 13th!
Time for me to make like a banana and split... LOL! Supply list:

paper/chipboard/sticker- October Afternoon (Modern Homemaker)

Libertopia is an annual festival of peace, freedom, music, community and ideas that will change the World.
Held in sunny San Diego CA
Oct 11-14 2012
It is a unique experience...a 3 day celebration of our individuality and diversity packed with renowned speakers, workshops, panels, parties, banquets, music, film, art, literature, commerce, exhibitors, themed camps, performers, social networking and much more!
It's more than a conference…more than a festival…it's our future! Why? It leaves behind the least attractive aspects of conference and festivals while encouraging a big participatory element. Libertopia also is more than "libertarian." It's voluntaryist to the core – bypassing and transcending politics completely. Finally, it's kind of a model for us and a starting-point for a society of the future. It's a kernel of something we'll need more of very soon – especially as we watch coercive institutions begin to implode one by one. And that's part of the reason we chose San Diego as our home this year.

CAREER moves are not for the faint hearted.
Taking a leap of faith into the unknown abyss may serve some people an adrenaline rush, others the career they have been waiting for, but for most it is certainly a risk.
But for one gutsy Winchester mother-of-two, a career change is a risk worth taking after signing her debut novel to world-renowned publisher Penguin, under their Figtree division.
Claire Fuller, 47, of West End Terrace in Fulfood, has worked as a partner of local marketing company, WM Group, for 23 years and in December will pack away her life in the fast lane to pursue her dream of becoming a writer.
"It feels like a big risk," she said.
"The book will come out but I have no idea how well it will sell. It is amazing and I can't quite believe it.
"It is still rare for this to happen to new authors. It's amazing and it must mean that they think the book is sellable – they are a business at the end of the day.
"If the book doesn't sell I probably have two or three years and then I might have to go out and get a job. We have decided it is worth taking the risk."
Newlywed Claire, and her partner Tim, had quite a shock last July when it first became apparent a publisher had bought it.
"We found out two days after our wedding day," said Claire.
"I was really lucky. My agent worked with me to send the manuscript out and I had three offers, so it went to auction. The publishers were bidding against each other for this book. It was also sent out across Europe. Penguin was the highest bidder." Our Endless Numbered Days, which started life as a screen play for a University module, has been snapped up by book worms across the globe, and will launch in eight countries next year including America, Canada, France and Italy.
Claire said: "I started as part of my dissertation, as I have just finished my MA at Winchester University in Creative and Critical Writing. I started writing in June 2012, then realised that the University was only two semesters, so my course would finish in April and not start again until September, so I wanted to keep writing.
"I turned the screen play into a novel and then finished it last April and sent it out to agents."
The story follows Peggy Hillcoat, who in 1976 at eight years old, is taken by her father to a remote forest in Germany, and isn't seen again for nine years. Claire's imagination hasn't stopped there though, as she has recently attended inquests to find out how they work as part of her research for her second novel, which she will have plenty of time to write next year after leaving her current post.
"I am giving up work because I want to give this writing a go I suppose," she said.
"The company has been great and I work with my ex husband so it's quite traumatic for both of us for me to give up after so long. The situation is quite unique but it works, and it works for the children."
Being mother to 17-year-old India, and Henry, 18, an author and business partner means Claire's hands are pretty full, but she says Tim is always happy to help.
She said: "Tim is really helpful and does a lot of the work around the house so that I can write in the evenings and sometimes for half an hour or so before work.
"I still can't believe this has happened."
