Town Square
Pellet gun use may be restricted in Portola Valley
Original post made by David Boyce, Almanac staff writer, on Oct 20, 2008
The council meets at 8 p.m. in the Historic Schoolhouse at 765 Portola Road.
The pellet gun discussion follows a presentation by AT&T spokesman Randy Okamura about phase 1 of new services to the town. The council is also set to discuss and act on a policy regulating the use of the new community hall for class reunions.
The proposed amendment to the firearms ordinance is Mayor Maryann Moise Derwin's response to the Aug. 30 shooting death of a pet cat that belonged to the household of Maryann Raab of Cresta Vista Lane.
A single pellet had caused four holes in the cat's intestine and one hole each in its diaphragm and colon. The cat died of respiratory failure due to complications associated with the trauma of the pellet, Dr. Bill St. Lawrence of Portola Valley Veterinary Clinic said at the time.
Deputies from the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office assigned a case number to the incident, but have not reported progress in solving it.
Exceptions to the firearms discharge ordinance cover law enforcement officers; target practice that meets certain criteria, including a properly constructed firing range; and hunting as defined by provisions of state law.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

It's been a while (Java class last year). Been trying to learn C++ on my own since my school doesn't offer it. I wrote a simple program just to test what I have learned so far - really just the syntax - before I get into intermediate stuff. Anyways I just want to highlight that I am never looking for answers, I rather you question me on my logistics so I can rethink things and possibly finish it on my own. I thought that since I can write this successfully in Java that all would be well in C++ but I am having variable issues. I tried to debug and step through but I still did not understand WHY some of my variables were not getting the values that I assigned them. If you can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Panel: Equity In Design Education and Practice
The following event is organized by UW Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI)Equity In Design Education and Practice (panel)
Saturday September 19, 2015
Noon — 1:00 p.m.
Seattle Central Library, 1000 4th Ave, Seattle
Free and open to the public!
- Noelle Huskins, Associate Program Officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
- Susan Kemp, Professor in School of Social Work at UW
- Kristine Woolery, Senior Design Strategist at Microsoft
- Izzie Zahorian, UX Lead at Google Ideas
Through a panel discussion we hope to promote open dialogue about what it means practically to consider equity in design. Panelists will include designers of varied disciplines and professions whose work centers around economic and social equity. The aim is to have a discussion about the various approaches that do and could exist to support critical engagement with equity in the field of design. Particularly, with the growing interest amongst practitioners in design for good or social impact, we hope to interrogate questions like the following: "What tools do designers have for making unique contributions towards equity? How could we better support this work by providing practitioners with the language and frameworks to address these issues?"
Architecture, Engineering, Construction Hackathon
The following information is from AEC Hackathon Pacific Northwest organizers.
September 25–27, 2015
University of Washington's Center for Research and Education in Construction
7543 63rd Ave NE, Seattle
Hello Innovators, Geeks, Builders, Designers and Robots,
Technology and the tech industry are driving and changing our Architecture, Engineering, & Construction (AEC) industry and the real estate market here in the Seattle Area — which makes it a perfect time and location for our Second AEC Hackathon Pacific Northwest (and our 9th AEC Hackathon thus far!).
And to make our event even more technical and to engage the tech industry, this year we will be co-locating a Virtual Reality Hackathon in the same venue. The VR Hackathon will be focused on all things VR (with some Mixed and Augmented Reality as well) but many hackers in this network are also very interested in AEC and the built environment. This will be a great opportunity to network and collaborate with gamers and other hackers using 3D data in new and creative ways. The judging for the AEC and VR Hackathons will be separate but there will be a lot of mixing and overlap.
This is a volunteer-organized, non-profit and vendor-neutral event. Event website and registration »

2015 InfoCamp Seattle
The following information is from the organizers of InfoCamp Seattle.InfoCamp Seattle 2015
Saturday, October 17, 2015
8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Mary Gates Hall
University of Washington, Seattle, WA
InfoCamp is an unconference for information and technology professionals in Seattle. Our focus on information invites cross-pollination from all corners of the information world: IA/UX, Data Science, Library Science, Web Development, and beyond!
Capacity is limited; student tickets are $15 here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/infocamp-seattle-2015-tickets-18390506500Who attends InfoCamp?
InfoCamp welcomes anyone interested in information-related topics, from any perspective! Typical participants include:
- professionals and practitioners from industry, academia, non-profits, government, libraries, and other sectors;
- job– and career-seekers
- hobbyists
- students
InfoCamp attracts people who work with information in a variety of disciplines, from information architecture and user experience design to library science and information management.
What is the format of this unconference?
InfoCamp features an egalitarian, community-driven format in which the agenda is created during the event — so anyone who attends can lead a session! You, the participants, design and deliver most of the sessions. You determine the topic and format of your session, pitch your session idea to the group, and sign up for a time slot. The purpose of this format is to encourage collaboration, interaction, discussion, and real-time innovation. The benefits of this format include the immediacy of the topics – the sessions didn't have to be submitted months ahead of time – and the fun, exciting (and a bit chaotic) feeling of being part of an event that's being led by everyone.
What topics are discussed at InfoCamp?
Since InfoCamp is an unconference, nobody knows exactly what topics will be covered until the event actually starts. You can create sessions on any topic related to information, from any perspective. If you want a topic to be covered, you start the conversation. All we ask is that you don't use session time to sell a product or service.Who owns InfoCamp?
You do! It's all creative-commons licensed, and anyone is welcome to host an InfoCamp! InfoCamp was invented in Seattle in 2007, but we want to share the idea with the world and let anyone who wants to run with it do so.Who can register as a student?
Students enrolled in any program, any major, any school, in fall 2015 may sign up for student tickets. Be ready to show your ID.What should I bring to InfoCamp?
You might want to bring business cards, a camera, a laptop, iPad, a personal water bottle or coffee mug, etc. And of course, if you plan to lead a session, bring whatever you need for your session. This might be a laptop, a handout for participants, notes to yourself, or just an idea!
The rooms have screens, projectors (bring your mac dongle!), and most have whiteboards.Where do I go the morning of InfoCamp?
Registration will be held in Mary Gates Hall on the 1st floor (aka Mary Gates Commons).

"Seattle is rapidly growing. As with any city undergoing growth, such changes can be exciting, bringing hopes of new jobs, better restaurants and more thoughtfully designed spaces (public and private). But residents of growing cities also face pressing moral, political and aesthetic questions about what is and isn't worth preserving in the face of change. … this ARCADE feature investigates the concept of authenticity and the role it plays not only in arguments about development and growth, but also art, design and architecture."

So, following on from my earlier thread, I've jumped in for a CC - very excited!
I'm robbing 90% of the parts from my Specialized FSR - trying to keep cost to a minimum here - and thankfully most everything will fit (I hope!!)
Looking for some help on headset though. It is standard 1 1/8th head tube. I recall there is a need for a deep headset though, or am I making that up?? Wanting to keep costs reasonable so was looking at something like a £30 Cane Creek S3. Will that do the job or do I need something more specific?
Results 1 to 13 of 13

Select Local Merchants
Clinique of Plastic SurgeryRead MoreIn a profile for Plastic Surgery Practice's 2011 Top Docs feature, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christian Drehsen described how a person's entire facial expression, rather than just sagging cheeks or crow's-feet, is the object of his practice at Venus Clinique Spa by Clinique of Plastic Surgery. This comprehensive approach reflects his mastery of artistic composition, as well as his extensive experience, which is capped by more than two decades of sculpting the denizens of the Tampa Bay area, including mermaids built in sand. After thorough immersion in all fields of plastic surgery at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, he sought out specialized studies in hand surgery and microsurgery and developed a deft touch with children and burn victims during his residency at Morton Children's Hospital in Louisville. His steady hand is constantly innovating ways to harmonize features. He reimagined the face-lift to replicate the firm cheeks and stifling ennui of someone in their mid-twenties and repurposed clients' fat cells as catalysts for their own rejuvenation. Computer imaging helps his patients to see and evaluate what he envisions and then collaborate in the creative process. His practice has grown to three locations, two of which offer non-surgical aging solutions. There, medical aestheticians lavish complexions in carefully engineered Obagi and SkinMedica products while a nurse practitioner injects wrinkles and sagging cheeks with seven kinds of FDA approved dermal fillers and volumizers. Lasers work overtime at the spa, smoothing cellulite, routing unwanted hair and veins, and promoting even skin all over the body.2325 Ulmerton RdClearwater, FL US
Total Vitality Medical AestheticsRead MoreFrom the get-go, Total Vitality Medical Aesthetics was destined to become a one-stop shop for medical treatments—that's just what happens when a chiropractor and a physician co-found a medical clinic. Though in Total Vitality's case, the bond was amplified because Doctor of Chiropractic Brian Wolstein joined forces with his father, board-certified medical director Dr. David G. Wolstein. Today, with five locations in the Tampa Bay area, the Wolsteins and their team of physicians, chiropractors, and other medical professionals continue to offer everything from primary-care and lab-testing services to nutrition and weight-loss programs. They even perform therapeutic treatments like massage and aesthetic treatments such as facials.24945 US Highway 19 NorthClearwater, FL US
Red Bamboo Medi SpaRead MoreLicensed aesthetician Raye Toscano and her husband, Dr. Francis Toscano, operate Red Bamboo Medi Spa, a facility that marries aesthetic treatments with nonsurgical, medical-grade therapies. Their services, which recently garnered the spa a Best Aesthetics Practice award at The Aesthetics Show in Las Vegas as well as recognition in Tampa Bay Business Journal's 2012 Best in the Biz spa category, cosmetically enhance both the face and body. SmartLipo mimics liposuction treatments with fiber-optic lasers, and a four-layer face lift topically banishes dead skin with enzymes, glycolic acid, and mini exorcisms.2516 N McMullen Booth Rd.Clearwater, FL US
Clearwater Laser Fat LossRead MoreAt Clearwater Laser Fat Loss, the technology can induce visitors to think they're in the future. Cold lasers work to reduce the body's surface area by prompting it to release fat at the cellular level. This procedure is less invasive than liposuction, and unlike gastric bypass or spandex that are 12 sizes too small, results in little discomfort, if any. Fat and cellulite can be flushed from the midsection, arms, thighs, or almost anywhere else on the body. Body sculpting sessions can be supported with whole-body vibration plate sessions and nutritional counseling by a knowledgeable staff member.1250 Rogers St, Suite AClearwater, FL US
3D Body Sculpting - Dr. Robert MilesRead MoreOver the course of his career, Dr. Robert Miles has performed more than 6,000 cosmetic procedures—and pioneered a new one, which he dubs 3D Body Sculpting. The cutting-edge procedure has effects similar to liposuction, but without the hassle of general anesthesia. VASER Lipo contours physiques using ultrasonic waves, tightening the skin to prevent sagging, and liquefying or vaporizing fat, all during one procedure. The results can include a more shapely physique and sleeker silhouettes.13575 58th St N. Suite 152Clearwater, FL US
Clearwater Center For Cosmetic SurgeryRead MoreInterested in refreshing your look? Clearwater Center For Cosmetic Surgery in Clearwater offers a range of cosmetic procedures. Enhance your youth and your skin with a beauty injection from this clinic. Skin rejuvenation and resurfacing can be achieved by one of Clearwater Center For Cosmetic Surgery's skin care treatments. The surgeons at Clearwater Center For Cosmetic Surgery can help make your dream a reality. Call today to schedule a consultation.609 Lakeview RdClearwater, FL US

Have you ever thought you aced an interview only to never hear back from the company? It may have been something you said. Here are some questions career experts say you should avoid asking when you're trying to get hired.
"What Exactly Does Your Company Do?"
Inexperienced job seekers tend to ask this question, but they should learn everything they can about the company before the interview. "If a candidate has thoroughly researched the company before a meeting, the questions should focus not on the company, but on the specific position," says career management coach Marti Benjamin.
"As a career coach, I advise interviewees to focus their end-of-interview questions on the hiring manager's priorities for the position, the greatest challenges expected in the position and what it would take to be viewed as a superstar in the position," she says. These questions show the interviewee's interest in being a good fit for the job.
Elle Kaplan, CEO and founding partner of New York-based investment firm Lexion Capital Management, also says interviewees should always be familiar with the company. "I can tell who has read the articles about my company and who has not. It is not something you can fudge and it weighs heavily when considering new hires," she says.
"What Happened to the Last Person?"
Some career experts recommend asking this question as a way to learn more about whether you're likely to run out of the building screaming after you've been working there for a month, but just as many experts say you should steer clear of it.
"This could bring up negative feelings that can get linked to you," says Ronald Kaufman, executive coach and author of the book "Anatomy of Success."
"What if the last person got promoted over the interviewer? What if the last person was fired and there's bad blood between them or possibly a lawsuit?"
Similarly, Kaufman recommends that interviewees avoid asking how the interviewer got his or her position with the company. This question is too personal and could put the interviewer on the defensive, he says.
"When Can We Start a Salary Negotiation?"
Candidates should focus on the opportunity, not the money, during the interview process. "Bringing up the money issue could indicate to the hiring manager that this person is only interested in dollars rather than helping this business be the best it can be," says Murshed Chowdhury, CEO of specialized staffing firm Infusive Solutions in New York. Chowdhury also says if the hiring manager thinks you're focused mostly on the money, he or she might be concerned that you'll jump at the next opportunity that comes along and leave the company with another costly and time-consuming recruiting effort.
"If you get a post-interview offer you will find out exactly how much you are getting paid, so avoid putting the cart before the horse and start out by first getting an offer," says Zachary Rose, CEO and founder of Green Education Services, a green jobs training firm in New York City.
Did I Get the Job?
Finally, don't ask overly eager questions. "If the employer wants to hire you, he or she will contact you," says Amit De, CEO and co-founder of CareerLeaf, a platform that helps job seekers search for jobs. "These questions come off as pushy and impatient, which are two qualities most employers are not looking for."
The Bottom Line
The questions you ask during an interview represent more than just a chance for you to gather information about the company and the position. They're also an opportunity for the interviewer to judge whether you're the right fit for the job. Ask the wrong things and you could ruin an otherwise great interview.

Hi, I'm Susu.
I'm 52 and have yoyoed between 8st and 18st for most of my adult life. I really need to find a way of eating I can sustain over the long term.
I intend to weigh myself just once a month because I am quite a slow loser and this is for life.
My first target is to lose 25lbs by the middle of October. That's 5lbs per month.

Had a wonderful meal here, and were given great service by the owner and staff. The owner spent considerable time translating the menu for us, and nothing was too much trouble for him. Would certainly recommend a visit.

We spent one night here during our Mosel River cycling. Hotel was very comfortable and breakfast was great. It is well located as well. Wine store is nearby with many lovely riesling wines to choose from.
We stayed here for a weekend, and it was lovely. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.

By far the best part was the restaurant, with a... More
We happened upon this restaurant one night.

We happened upon this restaurant in November, at around 1:30 in the afternoon, and were pleasantly surprised that we found a restaurant that was open a) outside the season and b) during lunchtime. The manager was very friendly and charming. The food was outstanding. We enjoyed a wonderful soup, fish with lentils and salad with goat cheese, homemade bread and... More
We stayed here one night on a cycle tour of the Mosel, and were right away impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the hotel staff. The proprietor got us settled in, helped us garage our bikes, showed us to our rooms, and gave us some helpful tips for sightseeing. After a VERY informative wine-tasting at the family Weingut just... More
