Whether you are a longtime bird watcher or a beginner who would like to find out more about this fascinating hobby, East Bay Regional Park District schedules lots of naturalist-guided birding walks.
There's a free program almost every week somewhere within the two East Bay counties, and all levels of experience are welcome. Bring binoculars or scopes if you have them.
For example, the Monday birding group steps out from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 22, at Miller-Knox Regional Shoreline in Richmond under the guidance of naturalist Anthony Fisher. It's a flat, easy hike to see shorebirds and learn some history, too, along San Francisco Bay.
In East Contra Costa County, naturalist Mike Moran has been gathering data for years on birds of prey, and you can help. It's a rewarding pastime, because the east side of Mount Diablo has one of the highest populations of hawks, falcons and eagles almost anywhere.
Mike will venture out on the Marsh Creek Regional Trail in Brentwood from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 25. No experience is necessary; Mike will show you how to identify the birds. It's a free program, but registration is required. Call 1-888-327-2757. Select option 2 and refer to program 30292.
A rugged, five-mile hike to explore Oil Canyon at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve in Antioch is planned for 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28, led by naturalist Eddie Willis.
The payoffs are beautiful views and tales of the elusive "black gold" for which the canyon is named.
Designed for ages 10 and older, the hike is free, but registration is required. Call 888-327-2757, select option 2 and refer to program 30243.
The park district continues its campaign to remove invasive French broom plants from the parklands with a volunteer project starting at 9 a.m. Oct. 21, at Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve on Skyline Boulevard in Oakland.
If you participate, bring gloves; tools are provided. The park entrance is just south of the intersection of Skyline and Grizzly Peak boulevards. Call 510-544-3111 for reservations and information.
Harbingers of Halloween, those globular orange fruits known as pumpkins, are beginning to appear in supermarket bins. They also will be the featured attraction in a free program from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, at the Environmental Education Center in Tilden Nature Area in Berkeley. The host is naturalist James Wilson.
The center is located at the north end of Central Park Drive, accessible via Canon Drive from Grizzly Peak Boulevard in Berkeley. For information, call 510-544-2233.
By the way, when you scour out your pumpkin to make a Jack-o'-lantern, don't throw away the seeds. It's messy, but you can separate them from the pulp and toast them in the oven for a chewy, tasty snack.
There are lots of recipes online. Just google "pumpkin seed recipes" and pick one. There are lots of ways to cook the pumpkin meat itself, too. After all, it's edible like many other squashes.
At Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont, the Halloween Train will be rolling down the tracks from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Fridays, Oct. 19 and 26, Saturdays, Oct. 20 and 27, and from 7 to 9 p.m. Sundays Oct. 21 and 28.
It's an evening ride through fields and woods, mildly frightful, designed for families with children ages 12 and under. Tickets are available at the gate on arrival. They cost $6 for adults and $4 for children ages 3-12.
Reservations and information for groups of 10 or more can be obtained by calling 866-417-7277.
The Halloween Train is staged by the Railroad Museum at Ardenwood. The farm is located at 34600 Ardenwood Boulevard, just north of Highway 84 in Fremont.
Contact Ned MacKay at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Astronomy buffs will enjoy watching the Orionid meteor shower with naturalist Cat Taylor from 8:30 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, from a vantage point at the intersection of Del Valle Road and Mendenhall Road south of Livermore. The program is for ages 6 and older.
According to a site on the Internet, the Orionid shower results from the Earth passing through dust released by Halley's comet. The meteors appear to emanate from a point near the constellation Orion.
Meet at the top of the hill on the way to Lake Del Valle. It's a good place for stargazing, farther from city lights. Bring a flashlight, blanket, hot beverage and a jacket. For information, call 510-544-3242.
The Wednesday Walkers, that informal, intrepid group of hikers welcome to all-comers, is taking a lap around Lake Chabot starting at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 24.
This one is a moderate to strenuous nine-mile trek. Great views of the lake and the possibility of glimpsing its bald eagle residents are the payoffs.
Meet at the Lake Chabot Marina on Lake Chabot Road just north of Castro Valley. For information, call 510-544-3282 or email email@example.com.
Contact Ned MacKay at email@example.com.

Client Testimony
What a transformational experience! Julie helps you connect with all aspects of your being on your journey towards self discovery. The Reiki Certification Course is well organized and thorough, and you leave feeling that you have finally found your true calling. If you are looking for a highly energized, knowledgeable and caring Reiki Master to lead you though Master's training, look no further. JULIE is the Master/Teacher and THIS is the class for you! ~ Jenna P.
The Bibbity Bobbity Blog!
- Details
- Written by Julie Roberts
- Created: 22 January 2013
The massive energy shift that occurred on the winter solstice is now beginning to materialize into a 3D reality. Pay attention to what you are attracting into your life at this time, as there is great learning to be discovered from it. The Angels & Beings of Light remind us to Trust in the guidance that they are giving and be open to new opportunities as they arrive, especially around the time of the Full Moon if you are working with lunar energy. Spirit reminds us that even seemingly difficult circumstances which arise at this time are necessary for our growth and are being manifested now for our Highest Good.
As the light increases and we expand the light of our own consciousness, aspects of the unconscious mind/shadow-self are being revealed and manifested into our reality. We see this on the news everyday and in the chaos that is materializing all around us. The chaos of the world is a reflection of the collective unconscious of humanity. A single glance brings certainty of the healing that is needed for All at this time. "Great and lasting change is not created by force or conflict, but by the gentle merging and unification of opposites," Spirit guides. And this great change begins within each and every human being on the planet.
Depending on one's perspective, the events that are transpiring now can be frightening or freeing to the Soul, especially when they affect one on a personal level. Remember that we are here to learn and grow from our experiences on this Sacred Journey called Life. Even if something appears to be negative, trust that whatever is transpiring has risen to the surface at this time so it can be healed and released. You ARE ready.
Remember the Sacred Truth that All is One and that we are all connected. Nothing is separate. Embrace the perspective that everything you witness in life is a mirror reflection to your very own Soul. This is a wonderful teaching that helps us embrace understanding and compassion for All. If you find that you are constantly met with problems and are surrounded by negative people, you may want to look within to discover what it is that is attracting these circumstances into your own life.
Human beings were born with the greatest gift of free will and have the power of choice to consciously shift perspective instantly, in any given moment. Much of our emotional pain in life is caused by how we think. Become aware of your perspective and seek to elevate it at every given opportunity. Remember the old adage, "it's always darkest before the dawn" and know that when times are most challenging, it is because you are on the verge of a breakthrough. Also realize that in times of struggle, you experience the greatest amount of growth.
It is with these simple reminders that we are able to find the blessings in the lessons of Life. We thank our Angels, Guides and Beings of Light for their unending guidance and love during these changing times. Namaste, Sacred Ones. We Honor you.

Shoes! I really like shoes, and I never thought that there would be a day when my shoe pile went from heels and fancy shoes to running shoes. But it happened. The four pictured below are the ones in my front entrance. My picks for running - Merrell, Salomon, Adidas and Brooks.
< I also have these New Balance,
< I did a 10K walk in these FiveFingers!
I'm pretty sure that every time I've made it out to run, my feet look different! I love how bright and colourful they are, and after this weekend running Colour Me Rad, one lucky pair will be even brighter!

I am right now in the middle of transferring a piece of functionality from one project (ASP.net 1.1 web application) to a second project (Windows Forms desktop application). Although it is a significant feature, most of the work should be straight copy-paste. It is a large chunk of code written in C#, referencing a business object library shared between the two projects, a bunch of external dlls, etc.
Really, all that I should have to do is to customize the function for my projects codebase, migrate some of the ASP.net aspect to a WinForms environment, and hook it up to my UI. Yet, as I am going through this code, trying to make sense of what is going on, I find myself having to delete/modify/rewrite much more of the code than I should be doing. Although some of this is to be expected, much of it has to do with poor programming practices that if maintained lead to future difficulties with maintenance, poor readability, logic errors and bugs and are detrimental to debugging and testing. True, I have not found so many examples that are worthy of public exhibition, but I have received an education in how poor coding practices can effect a section of code long after the original programmer has completed his (or her) work.
A sampling of some of the things that are currently causing me grief:

I'm creating this thread in anticipation of the inevitable questions regarding accounts and username changes.
Here's the deal: We only migrated the accounts of members who had submitted at least one artwork in the past (even if they had no approved artwork).
This means that if you never submitted any artwork to Epilogue, your account was NOT migrated to this new site, and you need to create a new account. This also means that if you only had a forum account, your account was NOT migrated.
Here's why we did it this way:
We did a terrible job of requiring 'safe' usernames in the last version of Epilogue. This came back to haunt us during the migration of content and accounts from the old site. Our new system requires properly formatted usernames. A number of members' usernames contained characters that were not compatible with this platform.
We also had a ton of old, fake, or spammy user accounts that we didn't want dirtying up our shiny new website.
Help! I can't access my account!
If you are having issues logging in to your account, please read this BEFORE creating a new account.
If your username contained characters like periods (.), underscores (_), or blank spaces ( ), those characters have been replaced by a dash (-). So, if your username was "bob.theartguy", "bob theartguy", or "bob_theartguy" on the old site, your username would now be "bob-theartguy".
Don't fret, we're confused too... best to just look up your last name in the artist directory and visit your profile page -- your username is listed there in parenthesis.
If you still can't find your username, but know you did have an account, you can contact us from the Support section and we'll help you out.
Do you need to create a new account? Answer this question to find out:
Have you submitted artwork in the past?
If yes, then no, your account should still exist.
If not, then yes, you need to create a new account.

DR MISHAL BRUGGER, new esthetic surgeon
A new esthetic surgeon at Clinique La Prairie, Dr Mishal Brugger.
Dr Mishal Brugger has been practicing cosmetic surgery for 20 years. After completing his medical studies in Lausanne and practicing general surgery at the Lausanne University Hospital for two years, he was admitted to the training centre of Professor Pitanguy* in Brazil in 1997, where he received three years of post-graduate training in plastic surgery in the professor's department at the Carlos Chagas Institute. Following his return to Switzerland, Dr Brugger completed one year of complementary training in Zurich before establishing his practice in Lausanne.
He was accredited at Clinique La Prairie last October and joined our esthetic surgery department (see esthetic surgery department).
We took the opportunity during one of his visits to ask him a few questions about his approach.
Why did you choose esthetic surgery?
During my medical studies, I landed a six-month apprenticeship with a plastic surgeon at the Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. Surgery was my professional objective, but plastic surgery became my passion.
My post-graduate training in Rio, and in particular my contact with Professor Ivo Pitanguy, clarified my aim, which was to go into cosmetic surgery.
Apart from the actual surgery, I need to fully understand the motivations of the patients who come to see me. This is an essential part of my approach: to find the best solution for the patient. I often practice putting myself in their place in order to understand their problems and wishes, which allows me to provide the best quality treatment possible.
In this field, one needs to be very precise and clearly explain the risks, but modesty is also important when handling a case in collaboration with another specialist in a complementary field. In the end, one needs to be able to say no when the request becomes unreasonable.
What are your specializations?
Breast surgery, facial aesthetic medicine and surgery, rhinoplasty and otoplasty, weight reduction with liposuction following weight-loss treatment, and collaboration with surgeons from other specializations to ensure aesthetically satisfactory results.
Because I spent time in Russia and went through a lengthy authorization process, I am now a Russian state-approved surgeon. This is a measure of quality and allows me to have a very good understanding of the expectations of our Russian clients.
In your opinion, where do esthetic surgery and aesthetic medicine interlink?
The two fields are complementary. In some cases, aesthetic medicine can deliver very satisfying results, such as an improvement in skin quality, but it cannot replace a surgical procedure if there are bigger problems. The costs are obviously different given the type of service and necessary infrastructure.
I believe in a global approach that combines both treatments.
Is there a new technique or trend in cosmetic surgery that you believe has a lot of potential?
Developments in stem cell treatments currently have a lot of potential. I am one of the Swiss doctors accredited at the Swiss Stem Cell Foundation, and this allows me to use stem cells for aesthetic treatments.
For example, we can treat the extracted fat from liposuction procedures, filter out the stem cells and inject them subcutaneously in order to revitalize the skin. The results are very promising! Currently we can treat the skin; soon we will be able to treat osteoarthritis, and in a few years we will probably be able to treat organs affected by diseases. There is a great potential in these stem cells, especially given that they can be stored for 10 to 30 years, which means that treatments can be done at a later time.
How do you think cosmetic surgery will evolve in the coming years?
Apart from the long-term improvements in expertise, there is also the development of new methods and techniques, just as in other medical fields.
Back then you would do surgery, take out the stitches and that was it. Nowadays, thanks to aesthetic medicine, better products and certain new devices, better pre and post-operative patient care delivers better results.
What role does Switzerland play in the evolution of cosmetic surgery?
Just as the Swiss healthcare system is known throughout the world for its excellent quality, Swiss cosmetic surgery is also considered to be among the best. In my practice, for example, our values are to provide high-quality service and full transparency. The doctor-patient dialogue is very important to us.
Switzerland must remain an example and guarantee a high standard of ethics.
This means that our services and infrastructure will still be highly valued by both our Swiss and foreign patients.

lagos: day one
From Faro I headed to Lagos for a few days and these are photos from my first day. After the initial walk around the city, I made it to the beach. One of the many beaches in Lagos. I walked by Meia Praia, Praia da Batata and Praia do Pinhão before settling in Praia d'Ana. It was just so pleasant. I wouldn't describe myself as a beach holiday type of a person (Hadn't been on one for over a decade before Easter, haha!), but I did thoroughly enjoy it. Getting up early (-ish), packing my camera, book and food, and just going to the beach for most of the day was very much my experience in Lagos. I did see some other sites than the beaches, but the beaches were definitely my main focus. (Which is also why I'm now tanner than I've been in over a decade - usually I try to stay out of the sun!) The water is so blue and the cliffs are so gorgeous. I spent a good time exploring the little "caves" and other nooks on the beaches, as well as looking for the perfect seashell. Although I found some nice ones, I didn't find the perfect one - Moomins have lied to me as I can never find seashells as pretty as they do! I would say I preferred Faro to Lagos; it's just a bit less touristy and maybe has more things to see. But, I still really loved Lagos and it is the place to be if you're looking for a beah holiday. And it is stunning.

Third nipples can cure cancer! Well, not really, but this article By Ainsley Newson from The Times Online (UK) certainly adds to the mystique and prestige of the extra endowed. That is, of course, unless the researchers start rounding us up to use in their mad experiments.
By Ainsley Newson
A GENE that triggers the development of breasts has been identified by British scientists, who have named it Scaramanga after the Bond villain with three nipples.
The gene appears to influence the growth of extra nipples, but is also thought to be involved in breast cancer. Its identification promises to bring new insights into the causes and treatment of the disease.
Researchers at the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Centre at the Institute of Cancer Research have called the gene after the fiendish character Scaramanga, played by Christopher Lee in the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. Bond's adversary was identifiable only by his third nipple.
Professor Alan Ashworth and his team had wanted to understand the trigger for breast development, including what controls the number of mammary glands. They found that Scaramanga helps to determine how and where breast tissue is laid down while the embryo is developing, in addition to the number of breasts that form. They report their finding in Genes and Development.
In embryo development the formation of all organs and tissues is tightly controlled by different genes. In humans the process normally results in two breasts, but the process sometimes goes awry.
"Identifying the Scaramanga gene is a real advance in our understanding of the early steps in breast formation," Professor Ashworth said. "By learning more about this gene and the protein it produces, it will allow us to determine how normal breast development is initiated, and, importantly, examine how this is connected with breast cancer.
Scaramanga was identified in mice strains known to have abnormal breast development and is one of several genes involved in the pathway to breast formation. The gene product, a protein called Neuregulin3 (NRG3), is a growth-stimulating substance which signals cells to become breast cells. Although the link with extra nipples has been made only in mice at this stage, "it is likely to be involved in humans", Professor Ashworth says.
The protein is very similar to proteins found in breast cancer, suggesting a direct link between the two. NRG3 activates cells that have a protein very similar to one over-expressed in about 20 per cent of breast cancers and which can be targeted by the drug Herceptin.
"While proteins carefully control the development of breast cells in the embryo, inappropriate signals to breast cells during adulthood by these same molecules may cause breast cancer," Professor Ashworth said.
Third nipples are not very rare: one in eighteen people has one. They can range in appearance from a small mole-like structure to a full breast, which may lactate, even in men. Third nipples are more common in men than in women.
Men have nipples because their physiological structure is laid down during embryo development before the genetic "male" signal is switched on.
The occurrence of third nipples has been observed since Roman times and are often attributed to increased femininity and fertility. In Salem, however, women with third nipples were condemned as witches and burnt at the stake, as they were thought to use them to suckle the Devil. Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, was victimised because of her third nipple.
These days, self-help websites provide tips on how to use third nipples advantageously in dating, socialising and, bizarrely, career advancement. There are even websites devoted to people's third nipple piercings.
People who have third nipples are not thought to be at greater risk of contracting breast cancer, although the tissue area should regularly be checked for lumps.

Talking about the gallery, I was really delighted how well all the works were displayed. Emphasis was given 100% to each individual piece, both with the appropriate lighting and the right amount of space between the works, so that one can admire them without distraction. The gallery director,Christina Hasenberg, and her team know how to put up a good show. Bravo !
Below are a few pictures of the event, notably Best in Show, and works by artists in the San Diego area.

Travel Journal – Spain & Portugal0
I am on a roll! I just posted my travel journal to Spain and Portugal. I'll work on my Asia trip next week. Stay tuned!
Digital photographs are so convenient nowadays but we hardly printed them out as a physical photo anymore. I discovered Apple iPhoto software and it allows me to make a coffee-table hardcover book out of all the digital photos I took for my Spain and Portugal trip. The cost for printing out the book is costly but the quality made up for it. The software even allow me to export the book into a PDF file so I can share with my family.
Travel Journal – India0
I finally completed my travel journal, which is long overdue, on my trip to India. We traveled "The Golden Triangle" of India as they called it in Asia which includes New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Although it was a short 6-day trip, I had a lot of fun during this trip.

I really like the way this card came together. The gold patterned paper background is the back of a photo Christmas card. So yea, I chopped up someone's little kid picture. I'm recycling which will benefit that kid so it's all good. Right?
The Miller Lite cap was flattened and then adhered to a white circle punch and then a blue Design Objectives die. The gold string is by Martha Stewart. Pretty simple but in real life took me forever to put together. Story of my life-nothing is of a short duration.
Thanks for looking.

SOURCE: "Reweaving the 'One Thread' of the Analects," in Philosophy East and West, Vol. XL, No. 1, January, 1990, pp. 17-33.
In the following excerpt, Ivanhoe discusses the Golden Rule, which, in Confucian thought, is described in the notions of chung and shu.
The Golden Rule—the notion that one's own desires can serve, by analogy, as a guide for how one should treat others—is found in various forms, in cultures throughout the world.1 It seems that something like it must exist if there is to be any kind of society at all. One cannot have a friend, a tribe, or a civilization without the fundamental recognition that there are others who share at least some of one's central desires and that one can know what these are by reflecting on one's own desires. If this notion is joined with a concern for others, one has taken the...

Do you think people still land on a blog page then shuffle over to the sidebar and put their name in the opt in box and volunteer to go on a list? I really think that stopped being effective sometime ago.
What about squeeze pages that offer a vague promise of piles of cash, a slinky blonde and a better life ? If you have spent much time in Internet Marketing then you have become immune to those too. Of course if you get somebody to sign up based on things other than what your product offers they may be a total mismatch as far as being a prospect anyway. So if you do that why be surprised when nobody opens your emails ?
So now that the things that we have been taught to do have proved to be ineffective where should we go now?
Smart Marketers are employing a technique called 'Content Upgrade' which is basically putting out an interesting and informative post with enough good content to capture the imagination of the reader and then locking part of the post so that the reader has to supply their email address to finish reading or to get the follow up information.
Content Upgrade results in a smaller list but greatly improves the quality of the prospects that are arriving on your list. They have already decided they like your content and are interested in your subject matter when they sign up. Of course it does mean you have to provide some very engaging content in the first place for them to want to get more from you but this really is something you should do anyway.
Obviously you will need a content lock of some description and there are plenty of WordPress plug ins that will help with that if you don't have anything already.
The big pluses are that your opt-in rates are bigger because the reader has related to what you are saying and that every post you make can be an opt-in form if you want it to be.
The downsize is it's more work but it is definitely worth it. By more work I mean that you need write a great post and then have an incentive for somebody to give their email. So, as an example, perhaps you have explained how to do something in the post and the incentive could be 'advanced techniques' or perhaps a video tutorial of what you have explained in the post. Obviously, the better and more relevant the incentive the more likely you are to add someone to your list.
So I hope the big takeaway from the post, for those who haven't realised yet, is that size isn't everything! Getting people that are the most relevant to what you are doing on your list should be more of a target than boasting about list size.
She's Viral is a content locking plug in thats like the Swiss Army knife of content lockers. It is able to lock content up to 6 levels on one post. It can be employed for various reasons whether that be to grow your list or send a post viral. To give something away or host a completion. It's a dang clever piece of kit
