BUSD renews search for superintendent
The Berkeley Board of Education voted on Thursday to initiate a new search for the position of Superintendent after an first round of interviews failed to throw up a suitable candidate. Incumbent superintendent Bill Huyett has agreed to extend his contract to give the board time to find his replacement.
In a statement, the Board said that a broader search was needed "to find the candidate that possessed the unique qualities desired in the next Superintendent."
"The Board of Education is taking its responsibility of finding a good match for the District seriously," said Board President John Selawsky. "The process of interviewing several candidates has already helped us to more clearly identify the kind of leader we are looking for. We have very high expectations for our next superintendent and I am optimistic that we will find the right match for the District in the next few months." … Continue reading »
For sale: Handmade, 'organic' 70s home in North Berkeley
If you are interested in homes and architecture, and want a taste of something completely different, you could do worse than visit the newly listed home at 2633 Marin Avenue this weekend.
The two-bedroom, two bathroom home is a rare example, for Berkeley, of what is known as organic architecture — more commonly seen in Big Sur and Marin County. Designed and built by Mark Hajjar in 1975, the home, which is priced at $749,000, is effectively a giant tree house perched on rough-hewn tree trunks from Cazadero.
As the listing agents explain in the home's brochure, it makes generous use of recycled materials including salvaged wood and castoffs from both Victorian houses and a WWII era factory — a green approach that was ahead of its time. … Continue reading »
Fine musicians pop up at Berkeley Arts Festival
Her latest recovery project at 2133 University Avenue opened last July as the headquarters of the confusingly titled Berkeley Arts Festival (also not to be confused with the Berkeley Festival & Exhibition).
Rather than a festival, BAF is a neatly kept but barebones storefront that presents a regular series of concerts by some of the world's finest improvising musicians. The new season, booked mostly by Oakland saxophone master Phillip Greenlief, kicks off on Sunday with a double bill of two expansive trios. Featuring trombonist/vocalist Ron Heglin, cellist Doug Carroll, and Tom Nunn on electro-acoustic percussion implements of his own invention, the playful and texturally inventive R2D3 opens the concert, followed by trumpeter Tom Djil, electronics explorer Tim Perkis and Heglin on trombone.

Three Berkeley edible gardens feature on urban farm tour
True to its new name, Tiny Berkeley Garden, is a small edible landscape located in the heart of Central Berkeley. But don't be deceived by its diminutive size. The lot may only amount to 3,500 square feet (with just 1,750 feet for farming) but it's chock full of trees, plants, and herbs that supply Kristin Stromberg with much of her produce for her home kitchen — with plenty to share and swap with neighbors and a nearby school.
A year ago, with the help of East Bay-based Planting Justice, Stromberg turned her concrete and weed-filled yard into a haven for apple, apricot, pear, plum, pluot, fig, lemon, and lime trees, raspberry and blackberry bushes, along with chard, kale, tree collards, tomatoes, corn, pumpkins, zucchini, asparagus, and other edibles.
Then, with assistance from family and friends, she built a chicken coop (known as Chez Panisse), which houses Panisse, Coco, Cuckoo, Tikka Masala, and Kung Pao, who provide several eggs a day, and a few rabbits, whose poo, she discovered, makes excellent compost. A beehive is in the works. … Continue reading »
Police Blotter: Recent crime in Berkeley
May 28:
Robbery via Gun and possible Taser – Dana Street & Durant Avenue – #2012-28153
On Monday, May 28, 2012 at about 5:45 a.m., a 21 year old male was victim of an armed pedestrian robbery. He told BPD officers that he was walking north on Dana Street at Durant Avenue when he noticed a green Toyota pull up. The victim paid little attention as three Hispanic males got out of the back of the car. The three suspects walked up to him. One suspect pulled out a dark semi-auto handgun and demanded his property – a laptop, a cell phone and a wallet. A second suspect was holding a possible Taser type device. The third suspect stood by. The victim did not see the car drive away. The suspects then walked south on Dana Street towards Channing Way. The victim called BPD at approximately 5:51 a.m. BPD and UCPD officers did area checks but did not locate any similar cars of suspects. The victim was not physically injured during the robbery. The victim described the suspects as: Suspect #1 – "Hispanic Male Adult, 20s, 6'2-6'4" tall, wearing black jacket, blue jeans and a black Lakers baseball cap carrying a dark semi automatic handgun. Suspect #2 – "Hispanic Male Adult, 19-20 years old, 5'8" tall, wearing a grey sweater holding a black Taser like weapon. Suspect #3 – "Hispanic Male Adult, 20 years old, 5'8" tall, wearing a grey sweater and unknown pants acting as a possible look out. … Continue reading »
The It List: Five things to do in Berkeley this weekend
MACABRE SENSE OF HUMOR Death normally isn't a laughing matter, but these writers have managed to find something to laugh about during the darkest periods of their lives. Victoria Zackheim, Zoe Fitzgerald Carter, and Sherry Glaser-Love will read from the new anthology Exit Laughing: How Humor Takes the Sting Out of Death at 7 pm Friday at Mrs. Dalloway's, 2904 College Avenue. "Whether we face our death or the death of a loved one with fear, sorrow, joy, or confusion, and whether or not we believe in an afterlife, we cannot deny that death happens. Exit Laughing reminds us that in death there is a place for humor."
SKATEBOARD MANIA It's too late to get tickets to see skateboard legend and video-game icon Tony Hawk demonstrate his moves. All the 975 tickets to the Saturday performance at 1 pm at the Lawrence Hall of Science sold out weeks ago. (You can see it recaped here.) But those who love skateboarding should go see Tony Hawk: Rad Science, a new interactive exhibit that shows visitors what it is like to skateboard and explains the physics behind it. Using skateboard-themed simulation booths, visitors can try to balance on a skateboard, go into a replica of a backyard pool and do hands-on experiments with the laws of motion — inertia, acceleration, and action/reaction, or visit the inside of an ambulance – a place where skateboarders often end up. Rad Science runs June 2 through Sept. 3 at the Lawrence Hall of Science. … Continue reading »
Mayor seeks to put sit-lie ordinance on November ballot
Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates is asking that the City Council consider putting a sit-lie ordinance on the November ballot and the issue will be discussed at the council's June 12 meeting.
"We've been making substantial progress making our streets more civil," Bates told Berkeleyside. "We want to have people feel comfortable when they walk in the city."
Bates said an ordinance could be similar to those in force in Seattle, San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Santa Monica. Unlike the San Francisco ordinance, however, his intent is to have an ordinance that would only apply in Berkeley's commercial zones from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Berkeley law currently makes lying on sidewalks an offense, but Bates said "it's very difficult to enforce" that provision. … Continue reading »

Another project I am working on is planning for my monthly professional development sessions with the teachers of my district. One of the biggest questions I receive from primary teachers is how young writers can use technology during writers' workshop. Many times this means how can students publish their writing. However, technology can play a major roll in developing the love of writing with students. Here are a few ideas:
1. Use a device for assessments
Being organized will be helpful in a productive writers' workshop. Using apps such as Evernote or Google Drive would be a great way to organize assessments. Create folders for each student. Take pictures, documents, and even audio in Evernote when conferencing with students. This can be done on an iPad or even your smartphone (Android, Windows, or iOS).
2. Create digital portfolios
If you use technology with your students it can be difficult to have a hard copy of the artifacts. By creating digital portfolios students can upload their work to the site. We have used KidBlog for this purpose. However, if your students have gmail addresses, my suggestions would be to use Google Drive. If your district still requires hard copies, just create a QR code of where the artifact is located online. Another nice thing about having digital portfolios on a site would be to create a year-around display for the classroom or hallway. Observers can just scan the QR code and see a student's work.
3. Create an album in the camera roll of all the materials you can use as student resources.
In the past, I have created offices for my students with materials needed to assist them in the writing process. However, I like to provide the resources to the students as I introduce it to them. This can be difficult with the offices. Time is precious and I usually just make the offices by hand before school starts. So if students have iPads, they can just add the resource to their writing album. If you find these resources interesting you can find them {here}.
4. Students should use illustrations and drawings to support their writing
Teach lessons that support how authors use illustrations in their writing to support the story. Use a site such as Online Storytime. How does this work? Take a screenshot from a scene from the story online and then model how to label or write a sentence about the scene.
Use illustrations or pictures to do a Shared Language Experience with students by creating a Puppet Show in Toontastic telling a familiar story or activity that students have participated in together. It could be a field trip, science experiment, or game. As a class, create each scene from the activity. Then play back each scene and either write as a group or have students write a sentence for each scene. NOTE: There is also a free version of the app, but you only need one iPad for this lesson.
Another option is to use the new StickAround app. You can create puzzles for students to label or have students build their own puzzle labeling pictures of their own. This is a great way to encourage students to label their pictures. Students can bring pictures of activities they do outside of school or take pictures of activities during the school day. Students can also label pictures such as nursery rhymes, vocabulary, or nonfiction pictures that go with units of study. Here are a couple of examples:
5. Allow students to publish their writing using a variety of apps or Web 2.0 tools. Some of my favorites include:
Scribble Press
Story Patch
Story Creator (free)
One of the most exciting things that I have done with emergent writers is to allow students the opportunity to use apps such as Educreations, ShowMe, or Explain Everything. When I teach a lesson using this strategy, I ask students to help me teach others on how to write a sentence. Students rehearse their sentence and then write it while recording themselves using the app. As they write the sentence, they are to explain how they are doing so. Here is an example:

This is a big-time HG for me. I don't wear it as a tinted moisturizer, but rather as a highlighter on top of my foundation, focused around my cheekbones and forehead. I think it would be too shimmery to wear as a foundation, but is divine as an illuminator. Excellent small range of colors. I'd probably put this in my top five current makeup table staples. Added bonus: You get a TON or product. One tube will last me a year. Will repurchase forever.

WAY too shimmery!! Nice texture, no awful scent ... but I didn't glow (natural) I shimmered (frosty).
Probably ok as a highlighter ... but for a total face ... no way.

this is one of my absolute favourite tinted moisturisers. i don't use it for everyday wear as the gorgeous glow it gives you plays best on sunny days or after dark imo. it's a lovely formulation that goes on smoothly and evenly and brightens your skin in the most flattering way, highlighting the high points of your face. it definitely gives you a glow but without any oily shine, shimmer, sparkle or glitter - and for that it's worth the cost.
my only reservation is that while the tint does a good job of covering skin flaws, the illuminating effect tends to play up large pores, so a bit more preparation or finishing may be needed for those areas, but that's a small price to pay for the overall effect of lovely glowing skin.

This product is super shimmery and I don't see how people can use this all over without looking like the Tin Man. It is however gorgeous as a highlighter. And I've found that it really helps to brighten up my eyes when I pat it over my undereye concealer. Would work on your cheekbones too and gives an instant gorgeous glow!

I got a sample of this when i bought a perfume from LM. I must admit, I was never very interested in trying it since I don't care for the glowy look. So I ended up putting it away and almost forgetting about it.
However, one day when my skin looked terribly dull I decided to try applying this under my matte foundation and hope that a little glow would show through just where I wanted it.
This product really took me by surprise! It looked AMAZING and I ended up not wanting to put any foundation over it! Though beeing sheer it does a really good job making my skin look even and fresh. :)
Now I can't wait to get the full size tube and have beautiful skin all summer long! :D
I have fair scandinavian skin and use the lightest shade, bare radiance.

This gotta be my favorite formula for Laura Mercier TM. I have dry skin so it is rather on the dull at times. There is a glow-y and pearly-finish with this formula. I applied this all over my face after the hydrating primer and it didn't look like a disco ball.
Another use would be to add this formula to another foundation or tinted moisturizer or just use it as a highlighter.
I don't think this would be a bad purchase either way cause you can still find a way to use it. It will last longer if you use it as a highlighter and in a long run, it saves money.
Compared to Stila's, I prefer this formula. Stila's has more shimmers to their illuminating tinted moisturizer and it's as moisturizing.
I applied this over LM Hydrating primer and still no issue with the glow. A definite repurchasing.

Tickets to see a regular festival screening are already pretty reasonable. Just $8 at the door, that's still cheaper than seeing The Dark Knight on opening weekend (especially if you go all they way and splurge on popcorn and candy, too!).
This year, we're making screenings more affordable than ever. Here's how: from Monday, October 20 to Thursday, October 23, we're offering a two-for-one deal on screenings before 5 p.m. When you purchase one ticket for any qualifying show, a friend/coworker/spouse/significant other will get in FREE. Seriously, when was the last time the big theaters showed you this much love?
So which movies can you see to take advantage of this great deal? Check out the schedules for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Films showing before 5 p.m. include Crystal Heart Award winners Karla's World and Terra, Pray the Devil Back to Hell and Blessed is the Match. You could fit in each of the four Shorts Collections (Crystal Heart Award winners, or program 2, 3 or 4); there are even some Sidebar films playing–those Truly Moving Picture Award winners you might not've caught when they were in theaters. Check out Young@Heart (pictured) or Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, two films you won't mind taking time out of your day for.
This two-for-one deal works with screening tickets you've already purchased, too. So if you've got your 10-pack, all you need to do is bring at least one of the screening tickets to the door and two of you will get in!

Co-ordinates are fairly easy to live without if you realise when looking at the map that the top left is 0,0 and the bottom right is 100,100. After that it's just guess work, but normally it's enough to get away with.
Out of the entire list I would say only Omen is really essential, and none really seem particularly mage specific. Admittedly Ratings Buster is awesome, while I could live without it I'm not sure it would be fun.
The Hit Assist mode cracks me up, it's not exactly hard to monitor how much hit you need. I certainly don't do it on a per mob basis, trash mobs are trash I'm not exactly going to swap out my gear to get that extra % crit for something that doesn't really matter.
IMO it would be nice if the author mentioned other addons which do a similar job rather then just their favourite one.

Don't make any weekend plans.
Harold Camping, the end-of-times preacher who incorrectly calculated that the world would end on May 21, has a new prediction. The apocalypse is actually going to be this Friday, he now says.
(Here's a Christian Post article that links to a slew of other coverage.)
After the first Rapture date came and went, Camping came in for a bit of static. Especially from people who'd depleted their savings figuring they'd be whisked to heaven.
Not to fear, Camping explained. May 21 was merely the spiritual Rapture. This Friday is the real deal.
Unlike this spring, we're not seeing massive coverage of people camped out awaiting the end of the world. (Unless some of the "Occupy" protesters have worked that into their list of demands).
So, are you getting your affairs in order?

Objectively speaking, some guy named Jesus said he would be right back. Two thousand years later a bunch of fools are saying he will return at any moment. Two thousand years people — don't you think you should give up on this fairy tale by now.

brock, come on- "i saw too movies when i went two the theatre last night, to." loss, lost, pass, past–a homonym is a homonym is a homonym. i will give them lose and loose 'cause the lose is actually pronounced as if it were spelled loose. NEXT!

so…ummmm, albert e– are you saying this guy is that teacher? because my Bible says that we shall not know the day nor the hour and that 1000 or close, years to us are as a minute to God. i have had wonderful teachers who taught me about the Lord. and none of them even attempted to prophesy re the day of His returning.

I have no opinion, merely giving examples of text in the Bible.
The Bible reveals telling Noah the exact day when the floods would come.
If He did not know the day, everyone would have been caught up in the flood.

albert e- honey that was then and the floods and i will have to research it, but i think God gave noah a time frame, and then when the flooding commenced, God Himself closed the doors of the Ark. however…since water will not herald the end of the earth, you cannot use properly use that analogy for doomsday.

River Plate crowned Clausura champions
Buenos Aires, Argentina (SportsNetwork.com) - River Plate secured its 36th league title on Sunday with a 5-0 thrashing of Quilmes to clinch Argentina's Clausura championship.
The title is River Plate's first since 2008, and it completes an impressive turnaround that saw River relegated for the first time in their history in 2011.
Fernando Cavenaghi scored twice for River in Sunday's win, while Gabriel Mercado, Cristian Ledesma and Teofilo Gutierrez also found the net in the emphatic victory.
Cavenaghi opened the scoring with a goal on a close-range rebound, and Mercado made it 2-0 in the 25th minute by heading home Jonathan Maidana's cross.
Ledesma scored on a 30-yard rocket shortly after the hour mark to make it 3-0, while Cavenaghi and Gutierrez both added goals in the final 20 minutes to complete the win.
Boca Juniors ends the season in second place and on a five-game winning streak after a 1-0 victory at Gimnasia LP through a first-half goal from Luciano Acosta.
Estudiantes lost 2-1 at Tigre to finish in third place as goals from Kevin Itabel and Erik Godoy canceled out a 24th-minute opener from Guido Carrillo.
Relegated All Boys closed out its season with a 0-0 draw against Belgrano, Rosario Central topped Argentinos Juniors, 3-2, second-half strikes from Juan Eluchans and Lucas Albertengo helped Atletico Rafaela to a 2-1 win at Arsenal, Colon downed Olimpo, 2-1, Facundo Castillon scored in the 61st minute to lift Godoy Cruz to a 2-1 win over Racing, while Newell's and Lanus played to a 1-1 draw.

Bobby D's Blues
Welcome Back Jimbob let's get things ramped up in here!
lets. I'm excited about this season, especially if the new pieces fit as well as I think they will.
Why did we sign Foye? Seems like a headscratcher to me with Burks around.
Bobby D's Blues
I think I see foye as 1 competition 2 depth and 3 backup in case of injury. I also wouldn't be surprised if foye was our backup pg either.
so then we'd have 2 back up PGs and 2 combo guards who could play PG. Are you sure we have enough?
Bobby D's Blues

i like it. we have two guys with different skill-sets in similar back-up roles. i like the flexibility we have.
btw, i think i had a dream that we traded jefferson. don't remember for who, though.
"We're under a level-5 quarantine, so I'm just gonna have to stripsearch you girls!"
haha Burks. I'm hearing good things about Burks, and I swear I read somewhere that he was quoted as thinking he would be a starter this year (which Marvin did too, not making sense with Hayward about?)
And Kanter, is it a good thing he lost all that weight? He looks like a machine now, whatever it means it shows how dedicated he is to get in shape lol.
Bobby D's Blues
also I wonder when Jefferson gets traded, its more of a when than an if now IMO
Bobby D's Blues
burks has been smoking something if he thinks he should start
Nice to see you again Jimbob....... I love Foye on this team, the 3 point power that we signed in the off season will really open up the paint for our bigs.... It sounds like Millsap and Jefferson are dominating in Camp, I can't wait to see what our line up's will look like!

This was a really great dish! I would have given it 5 stars, but it was definitely missing something. It was a great side dish, and my kiddos enjoyed the cucumbers (red onion is too hot for them). We are a HUGE fan of rice vinegar, so it was a very easy dish for us with items we always seem to have on hand.

How dare letter writer Julio A. Velis judge anyone else's disability. Only a few close to me know of the many surgeries I have undergone and of the long months over the years of therapy I have suffered through.
I take great care with my appearance so as to appear normal and not elicit the false sympathy of those who think that I should look handicapped. Every moment of my life is lived in pain, every step I take is painful. Would Mr. Velis have me grimace in pain for his satisfaction? He should pray that he doesn't become one of us.

Rome, the Eternal City!
One of the most important Capitals of the world. Rome is a cosmopolitan and dynamic town. Appealing monuments that make you re-vive the splendours of the Roman Empire with its monumental churches and its historical palaces rich in extraordinary works of art like many masterpieces by the great Michelangelo.
Civil Weddings in Rome are celebrated in:
- Charming little Villa just out of the centre of town surrounded by a beautiful Park. The marriage hall is a little 19th century Chapel with frescoes and antique furniture. The hall is small and intimate
- Complesso Vignola Mattei, in front of Terme di Caracalla, formerly known as Santa Maria in Tempulo. Currently deconsecrated and owned by the City of Rome, the building still contains on the inside some signs of the old Church structure. In particular, the bell tower and some internal frescoes dated XI century make the Complesso Vignola Mattei a simple, small and harmonious place to celebrate a Wedding.
Religious Weddings in Rome are celebrated in different Churches:
- Church of St Anne of the Palafrieneri, in the Vatican City, near the Porta Angelica, the main gate entrance to the small State. The interior, built to Vignola's design, is elliptical with side chapels. Later, it was re-decorated in the Baroque style
- Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, the largest church in the area, located on the left bank of the Trastevere River in a beautiful and lively Piazza. The Mosaics are medieval, probably from the 12th century. There are sarcophagi from 3rd and 4the century.
- Church of Santa Maria Liberatrice near the Roman Forum, located in the very heart of Rome, surrounded by the ancient ruins. Very impressive exterior, simple façade contrasting with the very decorative interior. Magnificent views.
- Church of Ara Coeli, Roman Church on one of the Roman Hills. Located in a beautiful corner of Rome on a high hill offering incredible views of the Eternal City. Outside is impressive. In an elegant and charming Roman Square from above a beautiful stairway, it appears with its ancient majesty.

Every so often, I have an SOS telephone call from a friend in desperate need of information about some aspect of Chinese food. Usually they are out for the evening in central London, have a sudden and overwhelming urge to have dinner in a Chinese restaurant, and want to know where to go. One friend called me to ask me which restaurant I could suggest; a little later, seated in the restaurant I'd recommended, he called again to ask for tips on which dishes to order; and a couple of hours afterwards he called once more to give me a report on the meal!
Another time, an old college friend who lives near Washington DC left a message on my mobile phone saying that she and her husband were about to drive past a Chinese supermarket, and thought it would be a great idea to stock up on all the ingredients they'd need for a serious Sichuan and Hunan cooking session based on recipes in my books, so could I please remind her what they should buy? Luckily I picked up the message soon afterwards, so I zapped off a short list, as follows:
Soy sauce, light and dark (or an organic tamari soy sauce)
Chinkiang vinegar (Chinese brown rice vinegar)
Sichuan chilli bean paste (made with chillies and fava or broad beans)
Chilli oil OR – better – ground Korean or Sichuanese chillies to make your own chilli oil
Toasted sesame oil (pure and unblended)
Dried chillies (not small deadly ones – larger ones are milder)
Whole Sichuan pepper
Shaoxing wine
Potato flour (a.k.a. potato starch)
Groundnut or rapeseed oil for cooking
Fermented black beans (the dry ones with salt and ginger)
Sichuanese preserved vegetable – ya cai OR Tianjin preserved vegetable in jars
Dried shiitake mushrooms
My friend picked up my email on her Blackberry, and within the hour I received the photograph above!
Apparently the cooking session was a great success.

The monthly check up is coming up next week and guess who's excited? >this guy< :-p
Anyways it will be my first visit (I know its sad) since I was living in a different city at the time. I think these are the only times I can say that I'm excited to go to the doctors office :-p.
Its December and the baby is due in three more months!! Time is flying by so quick!
As I'm gathering all the stuff that I'm bringing with me for the move, I've noticed that I have been given enough stuff to make a baby room (minus the crib). I feel really grateful that there are people out there actually looking out for me. As of now, all of the stuff are gonna be in a corner of my room or in the closet in my new apartment since the baby is not due until march but at least I can say I'm a step ready. Am I excited for the move? Of course I am. I'm not looking forward for the drive ( I hate driving) but I'm looking forward to actually have my own place again, sleep on my own bed, and most of all, Ill be close to the baby and the mother so I can actually be there during the progress! The downside is that I'm gonna miss a lot of people. I guess I just have to rely on social networks to keep up :-p
Packing this weekend and leaving this Tuesday. I hope the next time you hear from me, I'll be at my new place.
21 weeks and counting! From the moms report, the baby's been super active. I've always wondered the feeling of a growing human inside you and starts kicking you from the inside…hmmmm..actually I take that back. The mom said that sometimes it hurts when the baby does it and everytime I think about it, It just sounds really painful.
One more week until I move back to Tallahassee and being as excited as I am, I still am gonna miss Miami because of the people I hung out and worked with. I have been lucky so far that every workplace I've been to, everybody has been great. I'll definitely miss them.
One last thing for now: This 2 weeks is gonna be r-o-u-g-h just because of all the packing and doing last minute things before I move.
I hate the process of moving..the end.
Sorry guys I haven't updated my blog, its been a crazy busy week and it seemed like it passed by really quick! My schedule lately has been school-work-school-work. Its also mid term week for me so that means extra studying time. I have no problem with it, keeping busy is always good anyways.
Now the update on the progress. The mom is 20 weeks today! you know what that means?? She's halfway there! Every single day, my excitement keeps growing and I just can't wait (I lost count on how many times I've said that). So according to fruit to baby comparisons, my baby should be the same length of a banana and apparently at this stage, she should be able to hear more of the moms heartbeat and voice which is awesome!
This is a great article I'd like to share with you guys. As a expectant father, It helped me understand more about being a new dad and differentiate the facts from the myths.

Ginger pears with dark chocolate sauce
Photo by Eleanor Ozich
I made this gorgeous and simple dessert using canned pears, a block of Whittaker's Chocolate and a bottle of cream, as this was all I could find at the dairy down the road.
It took all of five minutes to prepare, and tasted absolutely divine.
Luckily, I had a small packet of sliced hazelnuts in the cupboard, which I sprinkled on top for a finishing touch.
|2 cans
|Pears, in unsweetened juice
|1 tsp
|Ground ginger
|1 tsp
|Ground cinnamon
|1 block
|Dark chocolate, large, broken into pieces, I used Whittaker's Dark Ghana
|1 Tbsp
|Runny honey
|1 bottle
|Cream, small
|1 tsp
|Vanilla paste, pure
- In a medium-size bowl, put the canned pears and a small glug of the juice - just enough to keep the fruit moist. Reserve the rest of the juice for the chocolate sauce.
- To the pears, add the ginger, cinnamon and honey, then toss to combine.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, add a cup of the reserved pear juice to the chocolate pieces. Heat slowly, stirring until melted and lovely. The sauce will be velvety and luxurious. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Put the cream and vanilla bean in a large bowl. Beat with an egg beater until thick and creamy, being careful not to over-whip.
- To serve, divide the pears among bowls, then top with a dollop of cream, a good drizzle of chocolate sauce and sprinkle with the hazelnuts.

Preserving the land heritage of Cherry Hills Village
By Jan Wondra
There is a concerted effort underway to protect the rural nature of the verdant, rolling landscape of Cherry Hills Village. While many cities rely upon parks, trails and recreation committees to direct landscape preservation, Cherry Hills Village has taken a different approach. The recent formation of the Quincy Farm Visioning Committee is the latest step protecting the area's rural character. It will work in concert with the existing Cherry Hills Land Preserve and the Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee. Its goal: a vision for

Although not announced officially, display URLs on AdWords search ads now gets the Breadcrumb Trail element. It is a set of links that allows users to easily navigate to relevant sections of the site. Basically, it's a navigation feature that illustrates the location of a page within a website's hierarchy.
For example, if an advertiser has an online shoe store, below his site URL is the Breadcrumb Trail "Shoes > Men's Shoes > Running Shoes." This element will be displayed if the landing page has rich snippets.
How Breadcrumb Trails on AdWords Works
If the landing page is marked up with the breadcrumb-rich snippets, Google will automatically add it to the search engine ad that will appear on the top or bottom of the search results. Marketers will have to pay the same cost-per-click rate for a breadcrumb click as they would for a headline.
Moreover, the Breadcrumb Trail will only appear on desktop searches for now. It also requires that ads should use the top level domain as the display URL. This means that a website must be marked up correctly with rich snippets so that Google would know which breadcrumbs to display. However, this function is only available to some advertisers as of the moment.
Why Use Breadcrumbs?
Adding breadcrumbs to a search engine PPC ad provides a number of advantages for advertisers. First, the display URL will take up more space that could make a search engine advertisement stand out from the rest.
Next is that it can easily direct users to the most relevant page on the website. Since most search engine users don't always search in a very obvious way, breadcrumb links can give them an array of options of what to look for in a website. This could increase click-through rates. Finally, using rich snippets to activate the Breadcrumb Trail can help a website to appear on organic listings.
Tracking Breadcrumb Trail's Performance
Advertisers can monitor the performance of their ads' breadcrumbs by heading to Segment, which can be found on top of the Statistics Table. Once there, select the Ads tab, then filter the data by Click Type. At Breadcrumb click type, it will show the ad element's click-through data.
As of the moment, Google is yet to provide additional information about the new ad feature, other than what's posted on AdWords Help section. Regardless, this is one way for the search engine giant to take effective display functionality to its advertising platform. In addition, it makes AdWords more organic, which could boost click-through rates.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
@N-train: I will freely acknowledge that we have heard Blizzard say that they've heard us, and will address the issue, if you will freely acknowledge that we have heard that before and nothing came of it. A few months ago, I pointed out that this has become a trust issue with the secs at Blizzard. I'm not going to bother repeating the well-documented litany of examples. I'm only going to say that when all you hear is "wait and see", and then what gets delivered is more of the same, it is more than understandable that we'll respond to promises of improvement with skepticism.
I'll put this to you, personally, though. I will be playing Mists when it comes out, and if Blizzard was serious about improving the Alliance's *in-game* experience, then I will be calling that out loud and long. But if we get in there, and it's just more of Andorhal, more of Southshore, more of getting pushed back while we just stand there getting beat up, more half-baked sequences like the opening of TH... then are you going to stand with us in calling it out, or are you going to be an apologist, and tell us to wait and see some more?

Police said a drunk driver crashed his car through the middle of a home in southeast Portland, narrowly missing the homeowner inside.
Greg Buckland said he was getting ready for bed at about 11 p.m. Friday when he heard a strange noise outside his home in the 6000 block of Southeast Flavel Drive.
"A car came flying through and landed in here," said Buckland as he showed FOX 12 where a car plowed through his living room wall. "It hit me and knocked me through that wall right there."
The car destroyed the living room, dining room and bedrooms before coming to a stop in Buckland's backyard. Buckland said police told him the car was going nearly 100 mph before the crash.
After the impact, Buckland said he spoke with the driver, who allegedly took off running.
"I said, 'What in the world did you just do?' And he goes, 'Well obviously I just drove my car though your house.'"
Police arrested 28-year-old James Anderson who is charged with DUII, criminal mischief and reckless driving.
Buckland said he lost nearly all of his belongings and the house may be a total loss. It also destroyed a Koi pond he built in the backyard. Buckland doesn't believe the fish will survive.
"That was kind of my pride and joy," he said. "We built it from scratch when we got the house."
Buckland was recovering from recent shoulder surgery and said he was reinjured in the crash. He said police told him he wouldn't be alive if he had been standing two feet in another direction.
"I'm just thankful I'm alive," he said. "I thank God for that. It could have been a lot worse. I'm thankful for the little things right now."
Buckland does have homeowner's insurance but said a claims adjuster had not been out to inspect the damage Saturday.

Britney's Son Rushed to Hospital
Britney Spears' two-year-old son Jayden James reportedly suffered a seizure and had to be rushed to a Louisiana hospital Sunday afternoon.
According to the Daily Mail, Jayden appeared "vague and unresponsive."
The tabloid reports that rather than waiting for an ambulance, the family raced to the hospital themselves. Brit's little sis Jamie Lynn blocked the hordes of paparazzi that were following them so Britney could speed away with the little one.
The family is staying their hometown of Kentwood, LA. This is the first time Spears has been allowed to leave the state of California with Jayden and three-year-old Sean Preston. Their father Kevin Federline was granted full custody of the children in July.
The paper reports the 26-year-old mom refused to leave her son's bedside at the hospital, where he was kept overnight for observation.
UPDATE: TMZ reports that Jayden did not suffer a seizure - he just ate something bad.

After I saw him in The Cripple of Inishmaan, I anxiously waited to meet Daniel Radcliffe at the stage door so I could get this card signed. Because I was toward the back of the crowd, I didn't think Daniel would even notice the card, but I was very wrong. As soon as he caught sight of the card, Daniel started laughing. He then took the card and explained how he had wanted to sign one of the cards ever since he had found out about it and signed it with my Sharpie. Then he THANKED me for bringing it and took my phone and took a selfie with me. Needless to say, I was very happy.

Milwaukee County Historical Society
910 North Old World Third Street
Prohibition May Be Over...But the Evening is Just Beginning. Experience Milwaukee's past by touring the Society's artifacts, photographs and collections that recognize and preserve our local history while enjoying cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and culinary creations.
We will learn about Prohibition from a local perspective from John Gurda, a Milwaukee-born writer and historian, who has been studying his hometown since 1972. He is the author of nineteen books, and "The Making of Milwaukee," Gurda's most ambitious effort, became the basis for a Milwaukee Public Television Emmy Award-winning documentary series based on the book in 2006.
Cap off the evening with coffee and sweet treats until 9:00 PM

Perfect roadside coffee.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use this more for coffee than even for cooking. Serves two healthy coffee drinkers, heats the water quickly, and the plunger is holding up well. No more gas station coffee for me.
Love it!
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Tested it out in no-wind, sea level environment and it boiled 2 cups of water in 2 minutes! Super efficient and user friendly. The best part is everything fits inside the cup when you're done. Easy, self-contained igniter. Seems ideal for back packing. Leave the coffee press and pan stabilizer attachment for car camping and save a little weight.

I've only used this a little since I got it, I enjoy it. It packs down tight in the pack when backpacking. So far I am happy.
Ditched the Whisper
Member since
I have been preaching the MSR WhisperLite for years. No that I no longer lead trips, I made the switch to Jetboil and will never look back. I prefer cooking mac n' cheese or a cup of joe in this over my kitchen stove.
Received it as a gift!

Great Stove
Member since
This is a great single person stove/kit. It could be used for 2 but no more than that. The coffee press is just a added bonus and for someone that has to have coffee on their camp outs this is a solid choice!

J Cortada

Can you take this on a plane(in a carryon or checked suitcase)?
Dave Marcus
Member since
You can carry on (or pack) the stove. You cannot bring any fuel on the plane, carry-on or checked.
So, isn't this a better deal than the SOL...
Member since
So, isn't this a better deal than the SOL stove? Is everything the same besides the color and with this you get the press? Trying to figure out the difference in the models. Thanks.
Dave Marcus
Member since
The SOL is a smaller and lighter setup. So, this is a better deal - you get more for less - but it weighs more, if that matters.
Decent stove
Member since
Compact and very portable but the lever to adjust the propane flow fell off during first use. Easy enough to turn knob by hand but expected better quality.
Is the added coffee press the only difference...
Member since
Is the added coffee press the only difference between the Flash and Flash Java Kit?
Member since
Yes. For the same price you get the coffee press and some coffee to sample. Both this and the Flash include the pot stabilizer and base. Essentially, this kit saves you $15.

I've always said that the libertarian movement would be farther along if more libertarians understood direct marketing. (Ok, Bruce, I haven't always said that, but I have said it for the last several years.)
Sometimes I almost cringe when someone starts talking about the "voters." As if that word had any real meaning. It doesn't, and trying to appeal to the "voters" is a waste of time, IMHO. Continue reading

There. I said it.
And guess what?
NO means NO.
I don't care if I'm wearing short shorts
or if my dress is up to my scrawny knees.
NO means NO.
I don't care if I'm passed out on the couch
after a long night out or a long day at work.
NO means NO.
I'm NOT asking for it not now, not ever.
I'm not trying to be mean or rude to you,
I'm simply just not ready - PLEASE respect that.
1 in 4 women are raped daily and I want to know something...
Why do we teach girls how to avoid getting raped?
Why do we not tell boys and men that no means no?
Why is masculinity defined as dominance and superiority?
Why is femininity define as submissiveness and inferiority?
Our society teaches us that men have the right to take what they want
and dispose that of which they no longer have use for.
Our society teaches us that men should keep walking and mind their own business
when another man is abusing a woman - in other words, to support bystanders.
You keep walking... It's none of your concern!
You keep wa
10 things I've learned about life so fari.
people will come into your life
and they always have the chance
of leaving
just as freely - you should try
to not stop them if they do decide
to leave your life;
new ones will take their place.
don't dwell on past relationships;
the sooner you accept that they're gone,
the better you'll feel and the more focused
you can be to find someone even better.
lying - don't do it.
which leads us to...
don't run from your mistakes,
but rather confront them and
recognize them for what they
truly are - lessons.
unless it is very necessary
and unavoidable, don't start
your higher education at a university;
for the same credits, you could pay
over $15000 less and go to a
community college.
(besides, you could change your major
over and over and over, and feel less guilty).
parents are (typically) trying their best
and they only want the very best for you;
trust that and appreciate it.
don't take anything negative said to you
personally - it might hurt for a bit,
it's only love"Maybe you're just scared
because for once in your life,
someone actually wants
to be with you."
when i'm with you,
i don't have to hide
my imperfections
or my real self;
you see through me
and still love me
for who i am.
late nights when i
can't sleep, i look
out to the stars and
remember that you see
them too, only from
your window;
you're always there.
miles apart but our
hearts beat as one;
such a new feeling,
to love and be loved
fully and truly -
you're my sunshine
and i'm your shooting star.
butterflies fill my
stomach as june approaches
and our first in person
meet draws near;
the future seems dark
without you so
please hold my hand.
think about it:
you were a gleek
and i was a nerd,
yet our destinies
here's to a hopeful
future together.
Be a BelieverTo love another woman is to feel her smooth skin against your own, knowing that she can find your erogenous zones with the tips of her soft fingers.
To love another woman is to know the differences of each emotion you portray or attempt to hide, to know that tears could either represent utter sadness or pure anger.
To love another woman is to kiss her lips with every ounce of passion and feel the truth in the words "I love you" spill evenly from her mouth into yours.
She will love you with every little piece of her once-broken-heart that once believed that love was a myth, an intangible idea; she won't want anyone to hurt the one that makes her fly to the highest of clouds and offers her a slow dance among them.
She will be there, by your side at all times, to save you from the dark times that might arise - just like you saved her from throwing her life away that one cold January night;
she won't let her soul mate drown in the trenches of temporary bad times because of one person (who
one, not the otheri.
labels are for
items, not humans;
please refrain
from using them.
unlike produce,
the price and
quality of our
hearts doesn't

after your use,
recycle - that way,
we'll continue to
provide happiness

i'm a precious magpie who wants to be let out of my cage and allowed to fly free in the outside world. yes, i understand that as long as i'm under your roof, i have to abide to your rules; i get that, i really truly do.
let me tell you something: as a magpie, i would like to be let out of my cage occasionally to fly around and explore; you need to develop trust in me, knowing that each time you let me out, i will always come back home.
i know that i might not be the best daughter... we've already discussed that plenty of times before... but please, you can't take things too personally anymore. i'm almost 20-years-old and i have to learn to stand up for myself, even if it means against you two. i am learning to talk to you calmly and not squawk at you when i'm wrong or when i get defensive.

Dear LostDear Lost,
Hello. I've likely not met you in reality before, but
I can assure you that we have more than a few
things in common. Maybe you like to sleep with the
window open. Maybe you like to carry a wallet in
your side pocket instead of the back. Or maybe
you walk down the stairs with your feet poised to
either side instead of straight, rigid motions. There's
more, I'm sure of it.
But we both are our own person. It's plausible to say
there's much more which keeps us distinct than loop
us together. And I'm fine with that. Maybe you single-
knot your shoelaces while I double-knot mine, or you
find a cup of tea much more enjoyable when you're
alone, with a good book in hand. Or maybe you think
the stars are just wispy balls of gas, whereas I find a
bubble of solace whenever I see the hearty light.
I think I can trust you with a secret. My grandmother
passed away a while back, and I can't remember e
-death knocks on your
door with a crooked little grin
and tells you that he'd like
his tea with two sugars, please,
and that you'd better start packing;
but only bring your valuables
because he's got no room in his hearse
for remorse
.and goddess,
this isn't something i can
sweat or starve out of me,
i'll have to write and it will
be madness,
see i've often thought about
placing my head in the pestle
and mortar, i wonder if i could
grind out the hell inside, become
a red pulp on the worktop, and
even the oven keeps tutting at me,
it's so easy, just open the door
stick your hand in, feel his forked
tongue on your palm,
orange lover, you
know you're
a coward
for this
and it's true
that the dead are never really
silent, they grunt and they groan
in their damp soil sheets,
toss and turn over
(fill the bath with water, and just drop me in it)
what to do when he doesn't say it backa)
you will give all of yourself to a boy who won't know you at all.
he will recycle your parts, make you stationary, bind you into
paper that he will gift back so you can write poetry about him.
you, too, say i love you quickly.
when he doesn't say it back, evaporate.
he will kiss you in places you didn't know existed.
until him, you were a peasant in your body's palace.
he crowned you princess, broke the lock of your castle's gates.
when he doesn't say it back, load your cannons.
you are a fountain pen.
look him in the eye when you write him letters on your skin.
when he asks to read them, surrender.
you have always been this way: too eager
to make wildflowers bloom inside of him.
when he doesn't say it back, trim the stems.
when he tells you that your eyes remind him of tree bark,
show him that your gaze is sturdier than nature's limbs.
without breaking eye contact, slowly back him into a wall.
when he expresses discomfort,
ask if he knows what choking is like.

Nutrient Trading in Lake Rotorua: Overview of a Prototype System
AbstractWater quality in Lake Rotorua has been declining for at least the last 30 years as increased levels of nutrients have entered the lake. Despite significant effort and expenditure, the level of nutrients entering the lake still exceeds sustainable levels. A nutrient trading system would help the catchment achieve this goal at least cost. Nutrient sources would bear the cost of their impact on water quality and hence take these costs into account in their decision-making. This paper presents a prototype nutrient trading system for achieving cost effective nutrient loss reductions for the Lake Rotorua catchment.
