Woah! Ed Westwick's a Male Model Now? – Hunk of the Day
'Gossip Girl' star Ed Westwick has graced the audiences of practically every men's fashion show you could think of, but now it looks like he's attending them for a whole different reason entirely.
As part of the Milan Men's Fashion Week shows that are going on all this week, designer Philipp Plein debuted his collection for the 2013 spring/summer season. And who do you think was modeling said collection on the runway? You got it, it was Westwick himself.
He's already starred in a fashion campaign for Plein photographed by Terry Richardson, so what's next? Shirtless pics of him in a Speedo? We can only hope.
Check out that fab modeling body of his below.

What is your New Year's Resolution for Your Business in 2012? December 11, 2011Posted by StrategicGrowth in Mobile Marketing, Social Media, Strategic Growth Concepts, Video Marketing, Virtual Technology.

This is an updated re-print our our resolution article from 2010. We had a lot of requests to update the article and re-distribute it. We hope you find it of value.
I had someone ask me today about their business, "If I could do one thing better, what would it be?". As a business consultant, I am frequently asked some version of this question, but today it got me thinking that the close of one year and the start of another is probably a great time to pass along one of the answers to that question that I give to everyone who asks it of me. Are you ready? Here it comes!
Resolve for 2012 to fully embrace technology and to completely integrate it thoughout every aspect of your business; from your marketing, to how you work with and interact with clients and staff, to how you manage your administrative tasks and operate your business, etc.
What I mean by this is: integrate and take advantage of all the benefits that today's technologies have to offer, including: webinars and other types of virtual events (including virtual environment events), social media, mobile technology (and I don't just mean mobile marketing), cloud computing software options, video, email and any other type of technology that will help you increase efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
Those that don't choose to embrace technology will be left behind very quickly because 2012, I believe, will be a 'game-changing' year for how business is being conducted. Mobile technology in particular is having significant impact on the way we live and the way we conduct business today. If you continue to do business as you always have, you – and your business – will very quickly become irrelevant.
Think about your business in a new way, for example:
- could mobile technology enable your customers to order and pay for your products or services via their cell phone?
- can you use social media to interact with your customers and potential customers on a more in-depth level so you can be certain you're providing the products and services they need?
- will location-based technologies enable you to more effectively target potential customers?
- do you have an email marketing program to keep clients, vendors and staff aware of what's going on in your business? If not, why not?
- can you make your field staff more productive by dispatching them with tools provided by GPS mobile technology?
- can you get more immediate response to special offers by sending them directly to your existing customers via their cell phones?
- can cloud-computing technology allow you to access information from wherever you are as long as you have some sort of mobile computing device (think smartphone or tablet anyone?)?
- can RFID mobile technologies help you manage your warehouse more efficiently?
- can you be more available to your staff for those decisions only you can make if you've embraced the use of a SmartPhone or tablet device?
- can you cut down on travel costs, and yet increase the number of people that you can effectively interact with to present your products or services by engaging in virtual sales and training programs?
- can bluetooth or QR code mobile technologies help your firm in the manufacturing or supply chain processes?
- can mobile marketing technologies make your marketing more effective?
- can you get more people to engage with your website or product videos by enabling them to reach it via QR code technology?
- would video technology help you more effectively communicate the benefits of your product or service?
- can mobile technology help you increase the viability of the leads you receive at the next trade show you participate in?
- can participating in virtual trade shows help you decrease travel costs for your staff, and the 'down time' that results from that travel, while increasing the number of viable leads you receive?
- could social media, mobile and virtual technology increase your ability to recruit new employees with higher rates of effectiveness?
- could the use of mobile technology increase lead generation at trade show events your firm participates in?
So far, I've not found one business that I've spoken with or worked with that would not be positively impacted by increased integration of technology in their business. Given that, I now challenge you to consider how technology can help to improve your business – and as a result, your life. If you would like some assistance in evaluating your business and the options available to you, please contact us, Strategic Growth Concepts is here to help!
Here's to increased efficiency, productivity and profitability in 2012!

- area loss (1)
- level set method (1)
- reinitialization (1)
In the following an introduction to the level set method will be givenso that one becomes aware of the arising problems, which lead to the needof reinitialization. The problems concerning reinitialization itself will be analysed more detailed and a solution for area loss will be proposed. This solution consists in a combination of the commonly used PDE for reinitialization and extrapolation around the zero level set. Numericalexperiments show rather satisfactory results as far as area loss and computation of curvature are concerned.

I'm presently in Goa, India and thus haven't had much time or ability to get online. However, I see that things have changed little in Alberta... Finance Minister Iris Evans has announced the P"C" government's opposition to a national security regulator. Never mind the fact that on an issue that would REALLY serve provincial interests, like publically opposing the demands of Ontario's premier for federal (read: Alberta) dollars to fund an auto bailout, the Stelmach govt has been MIA. Good ol' Ed would rather continue his populist ways and defy pretty much every expert report on the subject of a national securities regulator.
While I worked at Finance Canada we noted that Canada does not, in fact, have the most fragmented securities regulation. Apparently we take 2nd place on that count to Bosnia. Perhaps Ed "if the people don't have time for policy than neither do I" Stelmach is hoping Canada moves into first place...

Walker says right-to-work would be distraction
Right-to-work legislation passed in Michigan
MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Scott Walker said he won't pursue right-to-work legislation in Wisconsin like what passed this week in Michigan because he believes it would be a "huge distraction" to job creation efforts.
Walker was asked Wednesday about whether he would push to make Wisconsin a right-to-work state on the heels after his proposal in 2011 that effectively ended collective bargaining for most public workers.
Walker said introducing a right-to-work bill could lead to massive protests like what happened last year over the collective bargaining bill. He said those protests and the recall elections that followed created uncertainty for job creators.
Walker said, "The last thing I want to do is create the sense of uncertainty out there."
Walker stopped short of saying he would veto a right-to-work bill should it pass.

Today marks the end of the 2011 hurricane season in the Atlantic basin, although the season really began and ended in the last week of August, when Hurricane Irene bulled up the East Coast.
The National Hurricane Center says there were 19 named storms, tied for the third-highest total since record-keeping began in 1851. The NHC also says that total is well above the average of 11 and continues a trend in recent years of above-average storm activity in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico.
However .........
Unless you are a fish, it didn't seem like a big season.
There were seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes. Those numbers are only one above the seasonal averages. More important, only one hurricane -- Irene -- made landfall in the United States.
And no major hurricane (Category 3, 4 or 5 status) hit the United States this year. That makes it the sixth straight season without landfall by a major 'cane. The last big storm to hit the mainland was Wilma, late in the 2005 season. That year also included Katrina and Rita.
Irene did considerable damage to the eastern edge of North Carolina, and also in the Mid-Atlantic and New England states. It was the first hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Ike in 2008.
"Irene broke the 'hurricane amnesia' that can develop when so much time lapses between landfalling storms," said Jack Hayes, director of the National Weather Service.
Hayes makes a good point in noting that Hurricane Irene served as a reminder that tropical systems can strike anywhere -- in this case, Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut took a rare hit.
Irene highlighted both the good and bad of hurricane forecasting. The National Hurricane Center nailed the storm's path, several days in advance. But the intensity forecast was off, as Irene weakened before making landfall.
For most of the hurricane-prone areas of the Southeast, 2011 was a quiet year, a lot like 2009 and 2010.
The strong ridge of high pressure over Texas prevented tropical systems from affecting that part of the country. That prevented massive oil and gas price increases that result from a hurricane crossing the Gulf of Mexico's petroleum beds, but it also kept the Lone Star State deeply mired in an extremely damaging drought.
A persistent trough of low pressure off the East Coast kept storms out at sea, much as in 2010.
Look for the 2012 forecasts to start appearing in a few months.

'Busy' hurricane season ends
Today marks the end of the 2011 hurricane season in the Atlantic basin, although the season really began and ended in the last week of August, when Hurricane Irene bulled up the East Coast.

Where is winter?
I'm starting to hear a few complaints from the winter-lovers, especially the people who are anxious to start wearing their heavier clothes and who think it's impossible to talk about Christmas when it's 70 degrees out there.
I'd be happy to have 80 degrees on Christmas, but I realize my opinion is in the minority.
So where is the chilly weather?
First, it's not unusual to have 70-degree-plus conditions in late November. The same thing happened last year, and we had a string of near-80-degree days a few years ago around the beginning of December.
Last year, the warm weather ended abruptly with a cold front that arrived late Dec. 1. From Dec. 2 until Valentine's Day, with a few exceptions, conditions in the Charlotte region were quite cold.
Almost like clockwork, much cooler air is on the way. It will arrive early Tuesday, and our high temperatures for a few days will only be in the 50s. It won't be quite as brutal a change as last year, when daytime highs were held to the upper 30s and 40s for a couple weeks. But it is a change worth noting.
Yet I don't see a complete change to below-average temperatures, through the middle of December. The Climate Prediction Center, computer models, and private meteorological services seem to indicate that, on average, temperatures will be about average. A few cold snaps, lasting two or three days, are likely.
But an abrupt change to mid-winter conditions does not appear in the offing for a while.

Region's worst bad-weather roads
Between now and the start of 2012, many of us in the Carolinas will hit the road for a visit with friends and family members.
This is a tricky time of year to travel.
Storm systems occasionally move across the South. They can produce a drenching, soaking rain that last for many hours, or sometimes they trigger rounds of showers and even severe thunderstorms (such as last week).
Dense fog can be a problem.
And as we progress deeper into the holiday season, the possibility of snow and ice rears its ugly head.
Based on conversations with a number of other people who travel a lot during the holidays, here is a list of sections of major highways that are the worst to travel at this time of year. I'm sure you'll have others to add, but this list of interstate roadways (and we're talking about segments of the roads, not the entire route) can be a real pain in the neck:
1. Interstate 77 at the N.C.-Virginia line: This is more than a pain in the neck. It's downright scary at times. The biggest problem is fog, but high winds and ice or snow also can provide the danger.
It's a stretch of about 10 miles that climbs more than 2,000 feet. Once, about 30 years ago, I was in a northbound car that struck a large rock. The rock had tumbled into the road during heavy rain, and we didn't see it until the last minute because of fog. It damaged our steering system. But there have been fatal crashes on this part of the road during fog events.
2. Interstate 26, in Henderson County: Once again, an altitude climb creates conditions that can lead to dense fog or icing. Four people died in a multi-vehicle wreck in October 2010 in this area, and I-26 is closed frequently during winter storms in Henderson County because of ice and snow. A large number of trucks use this road, and the combination of trucks, cars and fog sometimes is not good.
3. Interstate 40, at Black Mountain: A familiar theme here. There's a 6% elevation grade over a five-mile stretch of roadway, and it's been the scene of some nasty wrecks in the past. If you're eastbound (going downhill), test your brakes before you start. Because of the altitude climb, wet roads at the bottom of the climb can be icy at the top.
4. West Virginia Turnpike, Bluefield-Beckley portion: There's an altitude climb around mile marker 25, but the bigger problem here is icing in the winter. West Virginia road crews do a good job of staying on top of conditions, but if you're headed north and a cold rain or even snow is falling in Bluefield, be prepared for worse conditions ahead.
And consider making a rest stop at the big turnpike center near Beckley, because the portion of the road from there to Charleston is twisting and yet another headache.
5. Interstate 85, Greensboro to Durham: There are no altitude issues here -- just tons of traffic. And when heavy rain is falling, be careful. A number of times in recent years, traffic during the Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday weekends has been brought to a standstill by a multi-vehicle collision.
6. Interstate 81, various areas between Roanoke and Harrisonburg: One problem is I-81 has only two lanes in both directions, except for a few places near larger cities. The second problem is that half the population of the United States seems to travel this interstate highway on holidays or summer weekends.
Oh, yeah -- and some of the people who drive on I-81 seem a bit reckless. Add bad winter weather to all this, and you have the makings of a travel nightmare. It happens from time to time.
In all these cases, the various states' transportation departments have toll-free information lines, Facebook and Twitter accounts, and other ways of informing the public about wrecks and bad weather.
Before leaving home, make sure you have a way of being alerted in advance.

Autumn see-saw continues
Having a difficult time figuring out whether to pack the warm-weather clothes away ... or deciding exactly what to wear each day?
Our weather pattern is a see-saw affair, switching from late-autumn to early-autumn conditions every few days. And we're about to go into another dip -- followed, naturally, but another climb.
This pattern is something you'd expect at the time of year when things are about to change in a big way.
Autumn will give way to winter soon, and what we're seeing now is a sort of back-and-forth of seasons. We have a few mild days, and then the temperature tumbles for another two or three days.
I got an email from Mecklenburg County commissioner Bill James, who noted that the current pattern is a working definition of Indian summer, and he's right. The traditional definition of "Indian summer" is a period of mild weather after a hard freeze. We've had freezing weather twice in recent weeks, and milder periods followed those freezes.
Temperatures today are expected to reach the middle 70s, with lower 70s again Wednesday as a cold front approaches the area. Then we fall, with highs in the lower 60s Thursday and the lower 50s Friday.
Then it's back up again, with 60 degrees Saturday, the upper 60s Sunday, and then the lower 70s Monday.
Guess what follows that?
How about cold weather for Thanksgiving (I saw one forecast of rain and a high of 42 degrees), followed by much warmer conditions on Thanksgiving weekend ... followed by (sigh!) a return to cold in the week after Thanksgiving.
Some meteorologists have predicted this back-and-forth pattern is what we can expect for much of the winter. Typically, though, we settle into more prolonged periods of cold and then mild temperatures.
Stay tuned.

Week of weather changes ahead
Don't look for consistent weather this week.
We'll have two very different air masses, starting with very mild conditions early in the week but ending with below-average temperatures.
In between, there will be a rainy transition day.
Most people will like the way the week starts.
Mild air will be in control today and Tuesday, with a light southwest breeze and temperatures reaching 70 degrees today. Highs on Tuesday will be in the lower 70s, or nearly 10 degrees above average.
Changes will begin to take place Wednesday, as a cold front approaches. Showers and possible a thundershower are expected to move into the area, although it appears as if the precipitation might not arrive until mid to late afternoon. It will be mild once again, with high temperatures in the low to mid 70s.
Much cooler conditions will spread into the region Thursday, with highs probably only reaching the mid 50s -- despite sunny skies. It might be even cooler Friday, with sunshine and highs only in the lower 50s.
A warm-up will begin Saturday, and at this point, the coming weekend promises to be very nice for the middle to end of November. High temperatures by Sunday will be back above average, possibly in the mid to upper 60s.

Imagine a hurricane with snow!
Alaska has some of the most amazing weather in the world, although I much prefer to marvel at it from afar.
It's a place where temperatures reach 90 degrees in the summer and 45 below zero a few months later.
And some of the storm systems that affect the state are incredible. Case in point: the storm that is expected to pound the western part of Alaska on Tuesday.
If you watched the Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch," you know what I mean. Storms repeatedly batter the Bering Sea and the far northern Pacific Ocean throughout the year, but especially from autumn into winter. Those lobster boat crews battle hurricane-force winds and mountainous seas.
I notice that the Weather Channel is launching a somewhat-similar series Wednesday night, with its "Coast Guard Alaska."
A Hurricane Force Wind Warning is in effect for the western coast of the state for Tuesday and Tuesday night, and where the storm is predicted to make landfall -- around Nome -- there's also a blizzard warning.
The low pressure system is expected to have a central pressure of 944 mb when it makes landfall. That's the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane.
Winds in the western Aleutians, from the islands of Attu to Kiska, are forecast to be 75 to 80 mph Tuesday, with waves of 30 feet. In Nome, the forest is for 4 to 8 inches of snow and winds of 60 mph. Temperatures will be in the 20s while all this is happening.
The forecast for the town of Gambell -- on St. Lawrence Island, off the Alaskan west coast -- is for 75 mph winds and a mix of snow, rain and fog, with temperatures around 30 degrees. How can you have fog with winds of 75 mph?
The weather here in the Carolinas should be very quiet this week. I prefer "quiet" to 75 mph winds, snow and fog.

How good are our winter forecasts?
I've written several stories, and you've undoubtedly seen several predictions about winter 2011-2012.
It always makes great conversation, and meteorologists' ability to predict an upcoming season has improved mightily in recent years.
But will we ever be able to really get the winter forecast right?
It wasn't long ago that the Farmers' Almanac, the woolly worm and the groundhog were all we had to forecast winter. Then along came vast improvements in computer modeling and scientists' understanding of the various factors that create weather, and that gave winter forecasts a bit more clout.
Still, there are some obstacles.
Last October and November, all the talk was about La Nina, and what it would mean for winter in the South. The standard thinking is that La Nina means dry and mild winters in the South.
Lo and behold, arctic air blasted into the South on Dec. 2 last year, and for 11 weeks, the eastern two-thirds of the United States shivered. Snow fell several times in the South. Charlotte got its first Christmas snowfall in a half-century, and December 2010 was among the coldest months in recent years.
Some meteorologists had warned us that there were other factors in winter weather -- specifically, the Arctic Oscillation (AO) or North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). When high pressure builds near the arctic, low pressure tends to form at middle latitudes (i.e., the United States). That sends arctic air blasting into the United States, and it also provides a nice little track for storms to form.
It's why there was a series of winter storms last year from Texas to the Southeast coast, and then up the East Coast into New England.
It was what meteorologists call a Negative NAO.
Around Valentine's Day, the Negative flow went Positive, and La Nina took over. The weather got mild, and in late winter and early spring, the track of storms went across the South. That led to the series of tornado outbreaks that killed hundreds.
The question is: Can we predict a Negative NAO or AO?
"Right now, it's really not something we can forecast more than about a week in advance," said Mike Halpert, deputy director of the Climate Prediction Center for NOAA since 2007. "It's the fly in the ointment for our winter weather forecast."
Halpert said that if scientists knew the NAO would be neutral or positive, then they'd forecast a mild, dry winter for the Southeast, due to La Nina. Instead, the prediction is for "an equal chance" or above-average or below-average temperatures.
As you might expect, scientists are working hard to improve their ability to forecast the Arctic and North Atlantic oscillations. There are theories, Halpert says. One links the amount of snow in Siberia in October and November. More snow means colder air and higher pressure near the Arctic -- hence, a Negative AO.
Halpert says another theory links the oscillation to the amount of sea ice or to sea water temperatures in northern latitudes.
"We're looking at the research," he says. "This is an area of study for us."
Some meteorologists, like Brad Panovich at WCNC, the Observer's news partner, have predicted this winter will have a similar pattern to last year -- a very chilly start, especially in December and early January. Then the indication is for a milder trend later in the winter, followed by the possibility of another bad tornado season in early 2012.
This AO and NAO situation is a reminder that meteorology is a science, but one in which there are still many questions without answers.

Wet night coming, but weekend should be OK
A rather vigorous low pressure system is expected to swing across the Carolinas later tonight and early Friday, and it will mean a rainy overnight period.
The rain might extend into the early part of Friday morning's commute.
But if your weekend plans include some outdoor activities -- football, for example -- the rain should be long-gone before the first kickoff. It will be chilly, however, and it could be breezy for the high school games Friday night.
The low pressure system predicted to move eastward -- somewhere near the N.C.-S.C. line -- overnight is rather interesting.
The computer models hint that moist air will surge into the area near the center of the low overnight. Coupled with rising air near the low, that could trigger a few overnight thunderstorms. At this time of year, overnight storms that form near strong low pressure systems need to be watched.
Either way, a good drenching is likely tonight, and most areas will get a half-inch or more.
The rain should end by mid-morning Friday, and a few peeks of sunshine are possible before sunset.
Don't look for temperatures to climb much Friday, after overnight lows in the lower 50s. Highs probably won't get much above the mid 50s.
Saturday and Sunday look to be mostly clear and cool, with daytime highs in the upper 50s and lows in the mid 30s.

While protesters and the family of Oscar Grant III reacted with anger and anguish to the announcement that former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle would be granted bail Friday afternoon, the most significant action taken at last week's bail hearing may have been the words directed to the former officer by the Alameda County Superior Court judge in charge. -more-

Once again, this past Friday evening, a riot in downtown Berkeley, with fighting and gunfire, was created by another out-of-control party at the Gaia Arts Center. Although the use permit does not allow private parties, and allows only cultural use, the landlord continues to rent to huge hip hop parties, attended by literally hundreds of teens and young adults. Party attendees then text message their friends who arrive by the hundreds, mobbing the streets. This event was closed down by dozens of Berkeley police officers at 9 p.m. It took two hours for police to move the crowd to Shattuck where, in front of the movie theaters, the fighting and shooting ensued. Imagine parents sending their children to the Shattuck Cinema only to be ensnared in a riot as the movies let out. -more-
People around the country are celebrating an historic event and a demonstration of the power of individuals united in a vision for hope and change. This is not about one man, Barack Obama, but in what his daring to do the seemingly impossible represents for us all. -more-
The Oakland Planning Commission recently unanimously green-lighted the 100-plus unit condo high-rise known as "Creekside" (dubbed "Creekover" by some) at the corner of Telegraph and Claremont, the site of the building that formerly housed Global Video. Given the state of the economy, there is no certainty when, if ever, that project will be built. But the building was emptied out of tenants, with jobs and retail tax dollars lost, plus the built-in security provided by people using the structure. -more-
There has been a media campaign in the past year espousing the misnomer that there is such a thing as "clean coal." In recent months, there has been a counter campaign from environmentalists that ridicules and disputes the myth. Then, the coal corporations found that sound bite of an Obama campaign speech in which Obama promotes the idea that "we can do it" with "clean coal." -more-
After two years of work, an independent citizens' group has submitted a cutting-edge, open-government ordinance to the City Council for its consideration. The Citizens' Sunshine Ordinance, if adopted by the council in its entirety, would shed real sunshine on city business. All city records, except for those otherwise protected by law, would be made available to the public in a timely way. There would be sufficient time before legislative bodies met for citizens to obtain and review records related to agenda items. Most significantly, this ordinance, unlike any other passed so far in California, would have an independent body to enforce its provisions. Now, it's up to the City Council to take the bold step of adopting such a progressive ordinance without weakening its provisions. -more-

At the Jan. 27 meeting where the City Council rammed through a waiver for the Library of the Nuclear Free Berkeley Act (NFBA), the council majority's disdain for the public was palpable. Some 30 persons present to speak against waiving the NFBA were not called to speak until 11 p.m. By then the 20 remaining were forced by the mayor to confine their comments to one minute each unless someone else deferred time. This was not in the spirit of the Brown Act which requires equitable treatment of public speakers. Speakers on other agenda items had two minutes. -more-
A part of the military-industrial complex was invited by the Berkeley Public Library to call on the City Council last week, with favorable references provided by library head Donna Corbeil and Terry Powell of the Board of Library Trustees (BOLT)—and despite the best efforts of the Peace and Justice Commission (which voted 7-1 against granting the waiver of the Nuclear Free Berkeley Act, with two abstentions) plus some two dozen members of the public, the majority of councilmembers said: "Make yourself at home, at least for awhile." -more-
The economic news continues to be bad and worse. Today, we are sorry to say goodbye to our old friends at Elephant, founded by Stuart Skorman as Elephant Pharmacy, made over by investors after he moved on with the trendier-sounding name of Elephant Pharm. In the brave new world of the Awful Oughties, neither a good business plan nor honest business practices nor clever marketing turned out to be enough to save Elephant. Like an increasing number of retailers, from large (Circuit City) to small (the deli on your corner, perhaps), it's not possible to survive without credit, and credit's broken. -more-
During his first 100 days in office, President Obama faces daunting problems, including a deteriorating economy and two wars. On May 1, how can we tell whether he is doing a good job, given that Bush set the bar so low? -more-
Some years ago, I was part of a team asked by a progressive American organization to do a brief study of anti-black racism in the country of Cuba while we were there working on another project. During our tour of the country for about six weeks, we conducted interviews (as much as we could do with our limited Spanish) and made observations. While almost every Afro-Cuban we spoke with felt they were doing better economically since the 1959 Revolution, there were deep remnants of racism that Cubans seemed to neither acknowledge or even recognize. The country's various beauty pageants, for example, all featured exclusively women of fair skin and European features and hair; women of visible African descent were not considered standards of "beauty." And at one of the nation's insane asylums—a system the Cubans are particularly proud of—the patients put on a minstrel show for the visitors, complete with blackface and buck-and-wing dancing. Our hosts could not understand why the African-American portion of the contingent was aghast. -more-
Last weekend I checked in on the burrowing owls at Cesar Chavez Park. Their winter habitat at the park's northeastern corner has been surrounded by orange temporary fencing—a good idea, given the volume of foot, bicycle, and dog traffic. At least one owl was visible, standing quietly among the scurrying California ground squirrels, swiveling its head back and forth. (Park visitors can't resist feeding the squirrels; the owl area is littered with peanut shells.) -more-
"Ever since I was a schoolboy, I loved the English language. Even during the war with Iran, I listened to English songs..." So Adnan, portrayed by Bobak Cyrus Baktiari, recalls the romance with a foreign tongue, and what it meant to a young man growing up in the Iraq of Saddam Hussein—and what it came to mean, as he waits in the half-derelict Palestine Hotel for his comrade and former fellow translator for the American Embassy, Laith, played by Amir Sharafeh. -more-
When Pamela Ciochetti, as Marge in the Masquers' production of Alan Ayckbourn's Absent Friends, calls Evelyn (Michelle Pond) and John's (Philip Sales) baby (played by typecast Daniel Campbell) "Walter," and is corrected sharply: "Wayne!"—she defensively says, "I thought his name was Walter ..." "Come on!" declares Evelyn, "You can't have a baby named Walter!" "Well," replies Marge, "Somebody must've done!" -more-

Japanese Noh Theater, an ongoing 700-year tradition, spare in movement, like martial arts, but rich in poetry and sumptuous costumes and masks, will be demonstrated in a program, "Noh—Pathos Behind the Mask," by five performers from Kyoto, led by actor Shizuka Mikata of the Kanze School, including two drummers and a nohkan flute player, this Sun., 2 p.m., 252 McLaren St., University of San Francisco, 2130 Fulton St. Free admission. An increasingly rare treat for theater, dance, music and poetry lovers, Noh has been an inspiration to modern arts around the world. -more-

A lot of us live in wonderful old homes built in the days before modern furnaces, metal flues and self-venting stoves. These are houses built before 1935 that contain—among their many other dated and cherished facets—brick flues which have nothing whatsoever to do with fireplaces. Brick flues that are sure to crumble or crash when that much lauded earthquake finally makes its, somewhat overdue, appearance here in the East Bay. -more-

Priebus: CNN, NBC promote Dems
Reince Priebus blasted NBC and CNN on Monday night for spending millions "promoting" Hillary Clinton in their upcoming miniseries and film.
"The fact of the matter is you've got two networks that are potentially spending millions of dollars promoting a person that they know is at least doing the dance and getting ready for a run for president," the RNC chairman said to Sean Hannity on Fox News.
Priebus directly attacked the networks for leaning liberal, accusing them of only promoting Democrats.
"I think it's just about a time that our party stands up and protects the party and our candidates from networks that are not in the business of promoting our party, they're not in the business of promoting our candidates, they're not in the business of doing anything but promoting the Democratic Party," he said.
At least one person at NBC is a "major bundler for Barack Obama," Priebus said, and said that in 2008 Democrats banned Fox from the debates.
"The fact that these folks, including many people that are at NBC, one of which is a major bundler for Barack Obama, would be surprised that we would actually exercise our own right to filter who actually deposes our candidates and who doesn't. I think I'm being very reasonable here," Priebus said.
Priebus said he's no longer going to sit around and "let it happen."
"I think it's time we cut out those people that are actually spending their time and money promoting our opponents. I'm not not going to sit around and let it happen anymore. They can go ahead and do it. I can say no."

Kristin Cavallari is one lucky mom!
The former reality star says that even though son Camden Jack is currently teething, he hasn't been crying at all.
"He's such a good baby," Cavallari, 26, tells PEOPLE while promoting her new GlamBoutique jewelry line with partner Pascal Mouawad.
"I was just getting curious, so I put my finger in his mouth to feel around. I felt it and I was like, 'Oh my gosh!' We wouldn't have even known that he was getting his first tooth [otherwise]."
Turns out Cam isn't wasting any time making use of his brand new assets.
"He started eating food a couple of weeks ago, which has been so much fun," explains Cavallari.
"He's had everything: peas, broccoli, zucchini, carrots and avocados. He absolutely loves avocados!"
The designer, who also has a line of footwear through Chinese Laundry, says her baby boy is starting to show his personality — and he's a perfect mix of her and her fianc Jay Cutler.
"He's a really good combination," she notes. "He's always laughing and smiling, and in a good mood unless he's tired, which is like me! The only way to describe him is the word 'sweetheart.'"
While she's loving motherhood, Cavallari is looking forward to spending some quality time with her Chicago Bears quarterback beau on Valentine's Day.
"I'm just going to cook dinner. It's going to be a very low-key, romantic evening, which — for being parents — sounds amazing to both of us," she jokes. "[We're looking forward to] being in bed early and getting a good night's sleep!"

Andrea Mazo-Worknic Lunchbox
At Design Interviews
Interview with Andrea Mazo : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Andrea Mazo : When i was at the Design School i tried to avoid eat there because i did not disconnect and did not like the experience.

Especially what did you want to achieve?. Andrea Mazo : Enhancing the dining experience also benefit people´s health. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Andrea Mazo : I would like to sell it in the market .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Andrea Mazo : I worked in this design about 7 months. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Andrea Mazo : People who think that their quality of life can improve with little daily details. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Andrea Mazo : Worknic has the function of a normal lunchbox, but with characteristics that make the difference. The philosophy, the materials and the usability are some of them. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Andrea Mazo : Worknic is a concept that joins two words implicitly in the philosophy of the product: "work" and "picnic" .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Andrea Mazo : It is a design that transmits the warmth of being at home when you aren´t. I think that this fact is very important. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Andrea Mazo : I had the help of Fátima Ferreiro, an experienced designer. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Andrea Mazo : The biggest obstacle I encountered during the project was finding the balance between the philosophy, all the utilities I wanted to incorporate in the design and the physical characteristics of the object. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Andrea Mazo : i am looking for job and i thought that it would be a good opportunity and experience for me. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Andrea Mazo : i have learnt that a design never is finished. Someone can change it radically with his point of view. .

Who else would you show our picture to?
And what contorted sleazy story
Will you spin this time?
Standing next to you
Doesn't mean we're involved
You intended to create a controversy
But we were resolved
To have this problem solved
And are you a fucking primate
I'm not your territory to claim
Haven't you evolved?
I had a niggling doubt
You weren't the right guy to confide in
But nevertheless I did
Told you every little thing
From pleasant to horrid
The more I knew you
The more I began
To question your loyalty
And you proved me right
Showed me your nefarious personality
Don't underestimate my power
I'm capable of completely extirpating you
Though I won't stoop down to your level
Won't go to the lengths you went to
I won't give you the privilege
Of taking over my life
Nor will I seek revenge
You're at the top of my list
Of life's biggest mistakes
No, you wouldn't be forgiven
In real life, there are no retakes

Imperator - The Saiyans
Hello all,
Since the release of the temporary New Blood and LD missions, a lot of you asked if it was possible to put back the missions you've missed so as to gain the mission points.
To answer to this demand, we will allow you to reactivate the expired missions for a price in credits. However, the development didn't start yet therefore it is not possible to give you another release date than «as soon as it'll be finished» but you can tell us what you think about this feature.
I'll explain what we want to do:
It'll be simple. First, we will add a «Expired mission» tab next to the «Missions completed» one on your mission page.
In this tab you'll be able to see the list of expired mission and reactivate them for a price equal to the number of mission points they give, divided by 10 and rounded up.
For example: a mission giving 10 points will cost 1 credit, a mission giving 40 points will cost 4 credits. A mission giving 5 points will cost 1 credit (because it's rounded up).
This system will give the possibility to gain the mission points BUT NOT the mission prizes. To win the LD character you still have to complete the missions before the deadline.
This system will allow you to reactivate all missions you didn't unlock in time before the deadline, no exception.
Have fun!

Wow feel bad for the veteran player that's have highest mission points, their points will be equaled or maybe surpassed by some rich noob in the future.. feel bad to player who bought overpriced NB cards too

Can't be more than agree with soldesh..
luckily i'm not one of those players that you need to feel bad to
@ Soldesh : Well, for a rich noob to equal or surpassed the veteran player he'll have to actually complete the missions, so by the time he's done he probably won't be such a noob anymore. Especially since the temporary mission don't account for that much missions points.
Actually, I strongly doubt that newcomers will be attracted to this feature. It makes much more sense for a newbie to complete the regular missions, they're free and give rewards once completed, rather than paying some of his hard earned credits to unlock missions that don't give any reward.
As it is, this feature is mostly designed for veteran players racing agains other veteran player on the mission points board and who don't want to lose point because they weren't available to complet a temporary mission.

I like this. It means you don't have to worry about missing missions if something happens in real life. I also like that it only unlocks them meaning you still have to complete them and it only awards mission points which means players who complete them befor deadlines still get extra rewards.

Wow... the only reason people wanted the Ld missions to not expire was so that they could get the Ld card o.o so really this has no point to it.

Ah thanks, I actually had an idea about this earlier, now I can focus on actually doing my missions since I know I can get every mission completed, having that 'perfection' feeling
@ Rogue Creaper : Allowing people to obtain Ld characters through re-activated expired Ld missions would have erased most of what makes the LD characters specials. I can understand why someone could be frustrated to miss a Ld character and having to wait for it to come back, but this is also why it's so gratifying to finally get them.

Cops' Facebook post on cable outage triggers viral reaction
A posting on the Police Department's Facebook page telling residents not to call the emergency 911 phone number during Sunday night's Cablevision outage has gone viral.
The website, Buzzfeed, picked up the posting, as did the Associated Press. And local television stations were showing up Monday morning at police headquarters on Reef Road to do an onsite report or calling for comment.
Just one problem. Although the posting mentioned "numerous" calls to the emergency line, a check on Monday morning by Sgt. Suzanne Lussier, the department's public information officer, turned up just one call to 911 about the outage. Lussier does not make the Facebook page postings for the department.
There were other calls made to the department's non-emergency line about the cable provider's lack of television on a Sunday night that featured a Red Sox-Yankees match-up, one of the last "Breaking Bad" episodes and pre-season football, but Chief Gary MacNamara said he did not know how many of those calls the department received.
"We wanted to get the message out that there early that the 911 line is not the proper number for people to call," MacNamara said, nor should they be calling the Police Department at all because they have no cable service.
Cablevision customers may have contacted police about the outage out of frustration after failing to get through to the cable service. At 9:30 p.m., a Fairfield customer trying to get in touch with Cablevision via an online chat was informed there would be about a 10-hour wait, with 1,200 people ahead of them.
"We understand people were frustrated, " MacNamara said, but reiterated that both the emergency and non-emergency phone lines at the Police Department should be used for police matters, not cable problems.
Cablevision customers lost their television, and in some cases Internet and phone service, when there was a "commercial power outage" at the company's Norwalk facility. It reportedly affected thousands of customers from Stamford to Milford.

June Event to Feature 'Early Views of Dakota Territory'
The Center for Western Studies will host its 24th annual June Event, "Stepping into History: Early Views of Dakota Territory," featuring dinner, entertainment and the premiere of the "Dakota Territory Plans and Mountains (1866-1889): Images from the Robert Kolbe Collection." Proceeds from the event will benefit the redesign and expansion of the Center's museum exhibits.
The June Event is the Center's annual fundraiser and will be held in the Center's Madsen/Nelson/Elmen Galleries. Guests will be treated to a gourmet meal and music, featuring Ana Olivier at the piano. The evening begins with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by dinner and a presentation by Robert E. Kolbe. The event is sold out.
About the Exhibit
Former Minnehaha County Commissioner Robert Kolbe is known as the one to call if your antique clock needs repair or if you find an old bottle in your backyard. He is also an expert on early photography in Dakota Territory, co-author of "They Captured the Moment: Dakota Photographers, 1853-1920," editor of "Minnehaha County Historical & Biographical Sketches," and an appraiser of historical books, documents, and photos.
Kolbe is the immediate-past President of the Minnehaha County Historical Society and the mayoral appointee to the Siouxland Heritage Museums Board for 2013. He has been a member of the South Dakota State Historical Society Board of Trustees since 2004. A popular and long-time presenter at the CWS Dakota Conference, West River History Conference, and the State Historical Society History Conference, Kolbe has earned several recognitions, including the Distinguished Contribution Award for Preservation, given by the CWS Board of Directors, and the Zoom Zoom Award, given by the organizers of the West River History Conference. He has also made generous donations of historical items to such repositories as the Center for Western Studies, Siouxland Heritage Museums, and the State Historical Society.
Kolbe is currently conducting research for a new book on stereographic views of the Black Hills Gold Rush, 1875-1879, and planning a second edition of "They Captured the Moment."

And now . . . here are my meals from yesterday and today. Join the "What I Ate Wednesday" over at Peas and Crayons! And her blog isn't half bad either. 😉
Yesterday was a great day with my husband, even with my disappointment over getting pancakes instead of waffles. 🙂
Ever since I saw the list of Oscar nominees for best picture, I have had the urge to see as many of the nominees as possible. That may be because every year I have no idea who to root for since I usually have seen hardly any of the nominees. That's not surprising since my taste usually falls in the romantic comedy category . . . not exactly Oscar worthy. 😉
Since I have not seen even one of the nominees, I have a lot of catching up to do. So yesterday Corey and I went to see not one, but two movies. We saw 127 hours and Black Swan. They were both pretty good movies. 127 hours made me uncomfortable in certain parts because he was so close to dying. And I had to look away at the infamous arm self-amputation scene. Black Swan was odd and more than a little dark, but still a good movie. I can see why both James Franco and Natalie Portman were nominated. I may be biased because I have had a crush on James Franco ever since he appeared on General Hospital. I told you guys I was a fan of soap operas. 🙂
In between movies, I went to the mall so I could get a bra fitting at Intimacy. It was kind of a waste of time. I did get an idea of my true size, but the woman didn't even tell me. I had to look for myself, among all the bras she was bringing into the fitting room. She was mainly just trying to get me to buy something. At $145 a bra, no thank you! I have a budget after all. Even if I did use credit cards (which I don't), I wouldn't have put one of those expensive bras on it.
We had lunch at Jason's Deli. I love that place! It's one of the precious few sandwich places that I can eat without getting a migraine. No MSG baby! 🙂
I got a turkey on whole wheat bread with organic greens and roasted pepper hummus. It was pretty good, but I think I like their guacamole better than the hummus. It was such a big sandwich that I saved half to eat for later.
The star of the show though was the tomato basil soup I purchased along with my sandwich. Tomato is my favorite kind of soup, but I don't usually get it here because I like their Southwestern Chicken Chili so much.
This was hands down the best soup I have ever tasted. It was so creamy and I could taste how fresh the tomatoes were. I was so sad when I was done with my soup.
What is your favorite soup?
The best part of lunch was the free soft serve!
I'm not afraid to say that this one of the reasons why I love this place so much.
Yesterday I actually slept in kind of late and we didn't eat breakfast until after 10:30. Because of that, our whole eating schedule was thrown off. We had lunch late and then neither of us were in the mood for dinner. I ended up eating a light snack of cheese toast and a piece of chicken sausage around 9:30.
It seemed like the weekend just kind of flew by . . . especially because I worked on Saturday and then had to be back at work today. Argh. And Callie woke up early and started whining so she woke us up earlier than necessary. I don't know what her issue was but we have a rule that we don't get up to take her out until the alarm goes off (even if she's whining). Because of this, she doesn't whine too early before the alarm because she knows that is the signal to get up. She is such a smart dog!
I started the day with some leftover Gingerbread Walnut Pancakes.
Mmm . . . I love leftovers!
The work day was kind of slow. I had what seemed like a lot of work to do, but no immediate and pressing deadlines for anything. The day passed quickly anyway. For lunch, I had some spinach fettuccine, pasta sauce, and grilled chicken.
I don't think I will get this pasta again. It tastes just like regular pasta, so the flavor is fine. However, it seems like no matter how long you cook it, it still tastes a little undercooked. Ironically, it seems to be more cooked the next day and it seems to soften a little when you reheat it.
My snacks included a couple of clementines,
a bagel with some Naturally Nutty Butter Toffee Peanut Butter,
and the second pack of Biscoff cookies that my husband brought me from his trip (or should I say the airplane?).
I can't believe I held onto these for two whole days before eating them. Talk about self-control!
Today was rainy and much colder than the weekend (which was a very warm 70 degrees). But I wanted to do another round of 10K training when I got home. My husband is going out of town (AGAIN) tomorrow so I wanted to go for a jog with him and Callie. It was drizzling most of the time and I had to walk the whole time (instead of jog) because my legs were shaking or something. But we still walked for around 40 minutes and it was nice to relax with Corey and discuss our day. It was truly the best part of my day. 🙂
Dinner was a simple baked chicken strips and sweet potato fries (fresh, not frozen).
Can you tell that I love orange vegetables? I have eaten a lot of sweet potatoes lately.
Now I am relaxing with my hubby and catching up on some White Collar and Royal Pains. Love those shows. 🙂

For fans of "Sex and the City" who ever envied the ridiculously spectacular closet that Mr. Big gave Carrie Bradshaw, prepare to turn green: According to The New York Post, a retired Long Island businessman hired "Sex and the City" set designer Lydia Marks to recreate Bradshaw's closet for a whopping $175,000.
The new closet, which apparently used to be a guest bedroom, now reportedly features "more than 400 pairs of designer shoes, dozens of handbags, racks of clothes organized by label, as well as drawers full of oversized sunglasses and bling."
Even sunglasses have their own drawers in this fantasy closet, and the shoe section is described by Marks as being "similar to Carrie's," though she was quick to note: "Our client's is much bigger."
