Usher E-mail Excoriates Mayor
By Tibby Rothman
Clearly Special Assistant City Attorney Jane Usher has not received Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's memo on insubordination.
Today, the woman who as the chair of the City Planning Commission urged residents to sue the city over an unpopular development policy, issued a scathing e-mail to community activists slamming Villaraigosa for recommending large budget cuts in City Attorney Carmen Trutanich's department. The subject line could not have been more succinct: "Mayor Declares War on City Attorney."
"Surely you are wondering whether this is consistent with the

reductions proposed by the Mayor for other City offices," an incensed
Usher wrote. "Look high and low. You will not find another City
department that has been similarly targeted by the Mayor for closure."
Usher excoriated the mayor for backing what she said was a total of 36% in budget cuts to the city attorney's office over two years. She said Trutanich had saved the city over $100 million through legal victories, laid out a litany of services that faced the axe, and urged neighborhood activists to take action.
Asked if she was frightened that the Mayor would find ways to remove her in retaliation, Usher told the Weekly she wasn't worried. She added that the mayor had taken a "swing" at the city attorney's office and that "as a political figure, he should expect that many figures will take swings back."
As for whether she might be among layoffs the budget cuts could force she noted, "I work at the pleasure of the city attorney."
Usher claimed that the cuts would be to the detriment of Los Angelenos. "If the Mayor has his way... you will not be able to find a civil lawyer to serve as watchdog to counter rogue City actions or to defend against the avalanche of claims upon the City's treasury."
Speaking to the Weekly, Usher said the Mayor had called for shared sacrifice, but that the there was no parity or shared sacrifice among departments. While Usher declined to name specific departments, the Weekly has previously reported that some city councilmembers have taken as little as 2.5% cuts to their $178,789 salaries.
She declined to speculate as to why the Mayor was targeting Trutanich's office.
The Weekly first wrote about cuts proposed for Trutanich's office back in February. At the time, insiders speculated that Trutanich was being punished for his abrasive style.
Though Trutanich has been seen as a grandstander and gadfly, during his tenure Los Angeles has finally begun to win legal cases to halt the flow of billboards-gone-wild. Trutanich won office over Jack Weiss, who was widely seen as an inside player and mayoral flunky.

Medal record
Robert LeRoy (February 7, 1885 – September 7, 1946) was a tennis player from New York in the United States, who won two medals at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis. He won a Silver medal in both the men's singles event and the men's doubles tournament, partnering Alphonzo Bell.[1]
Tennis career[edit]
He played collegiate tennis at Columbia University, where in 1904 and 1906 he won the National Collegiate Athletics Association singles championship. In 1907, he was a singles finalist at the U.S. National Championships, now known as the US Open, losing in straight sets to eventual seven times champion William Larned. He also won three consecutive singles titles (1907–1909) at the tournament now known as the Cincinnati Masters.[2]

Pigeon Problems
A dove by any other name would be as revered?
By Jessica Cassyle Carr [ Tue Feb 15 2011 3:55 PM ]
Yesterday's Daily Word provided a link to a KRQE story about the City's Council's introduction of a bill aimed at cracking down on pigeon poop. The pigeon nuisance abatement ordinance would make feeding and keeping the birds a finable offense.
I have mixed feelings about this issue. Obviously there's an overpopulation problem in Albuquerque, and I've seen people feeding the pigeons. Since moving into my Downtown house a year and a half ago, I've witnessed the level of neighborhood pigeon crap increase dramatically. At some point last year four birds took up residence in the rafters in the back of my house. I think the pigeons are cute, but the mess they make at my back door is filthy and disgusting. I can't get too mad at them, though, and here's why. Several years back NPR ran an interview with Andrew Blechman, author of Pigeons: The Fascinating Saga of the World's Most Revered and Reviled Bird. Learn all about these interesting birds here.

Meet Jan Koum and Brian Acton, the Kanye West-Quoting New Billionaires Behind WhatsApp
Mark Zuckerberg just made these guys very rich.
Mark Zuckerberg just made these two guys you've never heard of very rich. Jan Koum and Brian Acton, founders of WhatsApp, are the self-described "yin and yang" of the hugely popular messaging service, which counts 450 million active members, most of them international and thus very alluring to Facebook. Yesterday, Zuckerberg's behemoth announced it will acquire WhatsApp for a total of $19 billion in cash and stock options — upon approval, both Koum and Acton, who hold 45 and 20 percent of the company, respectively, will be instant billionaires.
Luckily, like all good veterans of Silicon Valley ready to hit it big any day, their bios and personalities already veer into self-mythology, including bits of influence from Soviet Russia, the dot-com bust, Kanye West, and Fight Club.
The Origin Story
Koum, who was born in Ukraine, came to the United States at the age of 16. His family struggled growing up and "collected food stamps a couple of blocks from the unmarked Mountain View office that now houses his messaging company, WhatsApp," reports Wired. He did not own a computer until he was 19.
Acton, on the other hand, grew up in Florida with a professional golfer for a stepdad. While he graduated from Stanford, where he studied computer science, Koum, who "hated school anyway," dropped out of San Jose State University.
The pair met while working at Yahoo, where Acton was employee No. 44 and had already been through the ringer, having "invested in the dotcom boom, and lost millions in the 2000 bust."
But it was Koum's youth in the former Soviet Union, and adolescence as an immigrant far from family, that shaped WhatsApp's vision, according to their narrative. Jim Goetz of Sequoia Capital, a WhatsApp investor, explains:
Rather than target users with ads — an approach they had grown to dislike during their time at Yahoo — they chose the opposite tack and charged a dollar for a product that is based on knowing as little about you as possible. WhatsApp does not collect personal information like your name, gender, address, or age. Registration is authenticated using a phone number, a significant innovation that eliminates the frustration of remembering a username and password. Once delivered, messages are deleted from WhatsApp's servers.
It's a decidedly contrarian approach shaped by Jan's experience growing up in a communist country with a secret police. Jan's childhood made him appreciate communication that was not bugged or taped. When he arrived in the U.S. as a 16-year-old immigrant living on food stamps, he had the extra incentive of wanting to stay in touch with his family in Russia and the Ukraine.
The Bromance
Koum and Acton departed Yahoo on the same day in 2007, keeping in touch "as they slowly considered their next moves, often playing ultimate frisbee together."
Later, in a try-try-again lesson, they both applied to work at Facebook and were rejected. "We're part of the Facebook reject club," says Acton.
Facebook turned me down. It was a great opportunity to connect with some fantastic people. Looking forward to life's next adventure.— Brian Acton (@brianacton) August 3, 2009
In 2009, in between games of ultimate frisbee, the pair founded WhatsApp. "We're the most atypical Silicon Valley company you'll come across," says Acton, who is basically a start-up founder senior citizen at 42. "We were founded by thirtysomethings; we focused on business sustainability and revenue rather than getting big fast; we've been incognito almost all the time; we're mobile first; and we're global first." He says the duo is "the yin and yang — I'm the naïve optimist, [Koum's] more paranoid. I pay attention to bills and taxes, he pays attention to our product. He's CEO. I just make sure stuff gets done."
The Ideals
Both Koum, who is 37 and will join Facebook's board when the deal is done, and Acton prefer to stay largely private on social media, perhaps having already aged out of the cocky disrupter/ostentatious playboy posturing of their younger start-up cohort. (On Snapchat, a WhatsApp competitor that turned down a $3 billion offer from Facebook, Acton says, "Great, teenagers can use it to get laid all day long. I don't care. I'm 42, essentially married with a kid. I don't give a shit about this. I'm not sexting with random strangers. I send the 'I love you's in text. She's sending me photos of our baby. These are memories.")
Neither are very active on Twitter, with barely 100 messages between them, but both are putting out "regular guy" vibes with a splash of tech-bro machismo. "We on a galaxy the haters cannot visit," says Koum's bio, quoting the Kanye West minor work "The One." There's also cards and more Kanye:
Poker and whiskey with friends; winning last hand with pocket 5s against pocket jacks and pocket aces = priceless. pic.twitter.com/yNxAOlaz— jan koum (@jankoum) July 7, 2012
"First rule in this world, baby? Don't pay attention to *anything* you see in the news." - Runaway (2010 film) pic.twitter.com/wAjcFFx1— jan koum (@jankoum) December 4, 2012
Next person to call me an entrepreneur is getting punched in the face by my bodyguard. Seriously.— jan koum (@jankoum) May 22, 2012
Don't know when to update via FB and when to tweet. Ugh. Too many social applications.— Brian Acton (@brianacton) April 21, 2009
Koum's first tweet ever, though, was a Fight Club quote from Tyler Durden:
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.— jan koum (@jankoum) August 28, 2011
The same line is reprinted atop WhatsApp's mini-manifesto "Why we don't sell ads," and goes with the small company's ethos (they have just 32 engineers and 55 employees in all). In the words of their investors:
From the moment they opened the doors of WhatsApp, Jan and Brian wanted a different kind of company. While others sought attention, Jan and Brian shunned the spotlight, refusing even to hang a sign outside the WhatsApp offices in Mountain View. […]
Jan keeps a note from Brian taped to his desk that reads 'No Ads! No Games! No Gimmicks!' It serves as a daily reminder of their commitment to stay focused on building a pure messaging experience."
Before the Facebook deal hit, Acton told Wired, "I worry about what [an acquiring] company would do with our population: we've made such an important promise to our users — no ads, no gimmicks, no games — that to have someone come along and buy us seems awfully unethical. It goes against my personal integrity."
"We worked in a large company and we weren't that happy," said Koum. "Facebook Google, Apple, Yahoo — there's a common theme. None of these companies ever sold. By staying independent they were able to build a great company. That's how we think about it."
But, similar to Instagram before them, "Facebook has assured Jan and Brian that WhatsApp will remain ad-free and they will not have to compromise on their principles," assured Sequoia. However principled they might be, they're still a start-up that hit the lottery. And so upon yesterday's news, they still partied in style:

When the Prairie Births Big Dreams
"Big open spaces are important ... They can birth big dreams in people. They did it for me."
Savannah Naffziger, ACT VI member and marketing specialist
By Savannah Naffziger
I don't often surprise myself. Except that recent trip to Zumwalt. In the days leading up to the trip, I was nervous. I write for my job, sure, but this was different. This was poetry, fiction.
Yet here I was, headed to the Fishtrap writing workshop, to spend a week nestled in the grasslands of the Conservancy's Zumwalt Prairie Preserve. Although I work for The Nature Conservancy, my life is urban: cubicle-bound and computer-oriented. But on the prairie I was to write by hand and sleep under the sky.
Opening up to the Landscape
We gathered, a dozen of us, around the central picnic table on the first night. Irene grew up on Zumwalt and was returning to the area of her childhood. Ray traveled from South Carolina. Kathy's writing a book on her pioneer great-grandmother. Jolie's a professor of landscape architecture from Idaho. Me? I'm an AmeriCorps member. Who's learning more about Oregon's natural history. And writing.
With mugs of tea and mason jars of wine clutched in hands, we explained why we were here. I blurted out, "I'm here to take myself more seriously as a writer." Which was not what I thought I'd say.
And yet as we ate homemade goat cheese, and fell asleep to the sound of coyotes yipping just north of the camp: I did exactly that.
We wrote: morning, afternoon, evening. Drawing on the prairie as inspiration, we wrote about the lilac-blue flowers that surrounded the tents, compared exes to the surrounding basalt rock, and worried on paper about the local badger.
I found myself opening up to the landscape and, strangely enough, being in the middle of a vast prairie, I reflected on the Oregon landscapes I grew up with:
"I notice the air smells salty, with a hint of beach wood, no matter that we're hundreds of miles from the ocean. I remember driving to the beach with my grandmother. Ever cautious, she took the corkscrew roads at no more than 20 miles per hour, growing an unfriendly parade of cussing and underused accelerator pedals behind us."
Read more writing samples from the prairie.
I went to Zumwalt directionless — with my own 20 miles per hour, cautious approach to what's next — unsure of life after this AmeriCorps stint. But as I drove back over the Blue Mountains, chased by a summer storm, I found myself finding a new road and setting new life goals. Big ones. That involve writing.
And now, I write. I get up early every morning, head to my coffee shop or sit with my dogs, and write — drawing on the memories of mason jar evenings and the power of the prairie.
I surprised myself, and the prairie surprised me. Because of my job, I talk about nature every day, posting gorgeous pictures on Facebook and learning about rain gardens. But I glimpsed something else out on the preserve.
Being out in nature takes us away from our normal, enriches us, and provides a framework for understanding things in a new way.
Big open spaces are important for ecosystems and critters, for sure. But what I learned? They can also birth big dreams in people. They did for me.
See a slideshow of the writing workshop, and read writing it inspired!

Experimental Treatments? Unapproved But Not Always Unavailable
In this article
As if these hurdles are not enough, there is the long-held, but incorrect, public perception that FDA erects regulatory barriers that block patients from getting investigational new drugs (INDs). These are drugs that pharmaceutical companies have in clinical trials to demonstrate their safety and effectiveness, but which have yet to be approved by FDA for marketing. For those with a serious illness, the agency rarely blocks access to unproven medications. But FDA does strive to protect all patients, even those who may be dying, from undue risks associated with investigational new drugs. At the same time, FDA believes that the best way to benefit all patients is to speed promising new therapies through the development and approval process so safety, effectiveness and proper use can be established.
"FDA has worked diligently to balance two compelling, and sometimes competing, factors," says FDA Commissioner Jane E. Henney, M.D. "On one hand, there is the need for the disciplined, systematic, scientifically controlled studies necessary to identify treatments that may improve patient health and that lead to the approval of new drugs. At the same time, there is the desire of seriously ill persons, with no effective options available, to have the earliest access to unapproved products that could be the best therapy for them."
Over the last decade, FDA's institutional philosophy has evolved to be more supportive of thoughtful risk-taking by patients who have run out of options. As a result, the agency has put in place a number of regulatory mechanisms and worked with manufacturers to ensure that seriously ill patients can get access to promising, but not fully evaluated, products. At the same time, FDA has protected the critical scientific studies that must be carried out so that patients, physicians and the agency can determine which drugs are truly safe and effective, and how they can best be used.
"We believe that the best means of providing access to useful medical treatments for all Americans is to continue to shorten the review times," Henney says, "and to continue to work with the industry to shorten development times for drugs, biologics and medical devices."

What followed was nearly two disempowering decades of chronic pain; treated the standard western way of medications, the inevitable surgery, and the diminished ability to live the life he wanted. The discovery of yoga began a new cycle…one of self empowerment.
No stranger to fitness, yoga seemed different somehow. Under the guidance of Brian Monnier, the strenuous Bishnu Ghosh lineage of hot yoga became a nourishing physical fitness with unexpected meditative and introspective side effects. Noticing improvement in his own pain levels, Bill completed a 200 hour certification in hot yoga, followed by a 500 hour advanced certification. Bill loves communicating his passion for hot yoga, alongside his own version of Yin Yoga, called Yintuition. These styles combine for Bill in a perfect universal balance of yin and yang.
Yoga is only part of Bill's extensive familiarity with the human body. A skilled bodyworker trained in shiatsu, deep tissue and other styles, he was drawn to the self-empowering work of Yamuna Zake, creator of Foot Fitness and Bodyrolling. Now certified in these two modalities, Bill loves facilitating the dialogue between our bodies, our breath and our minds – teaching how to be one's own healer.
Never fully leaving behind his passion for fitness, Bill was trained by NASM and received his fitness training certification years ago and is currently working on becoming a C.H.E.K. Exercise Coach. Being an educator of posture and pain management, these components of fitness training really round out his experience. In this way, the teacher remains a student, allowing Bill to connect so effectively with his students and his clients.
Credentials alone can only say so much. Bill's passion for life and for his work says it all. The pain pills and days of diminished activities are gone for him, and they can be for you too! Learn self empowerment with Bill!

I fell in love with Hot Yoga in 1997, having moved to San Francisco fresh from Cleveland, by way of Syracuse University, New York, with my BFA in hand in Metalsmithing and Fashion Design. Coming from a lifetime of dance performance, yoga was the next natural progression as I soon discovered the life-changing benefits of a regular, committed practice, witnessing my body transform and mind focus.
Since my early Bikram days I knew I wanted to teach yoga, but it wasn't even a remote possibility until I began taking classes from Brian Monnier, whose attentive, intuitive instruction helped me to finally comprehend what true alignment was in my own body. Being a part of the Cal Yoga community feels like coming "home", and Brian's dedication to the well-being of its members is the honest, real deal and reason I decided to make teaching yoga a reality.
Admittedly, I am a workaholic, with a soul-fueling career as a professional jewelry artist, active in the arts community, however it can be a cause of many stressors. Yoga keeps me sane, healthy, and brings it all back into perspective. As a teacher, my desire is to lead others toward finding their internal balance (both literally and figuratively) that yoga has helped me achieve.
Sarah Butler
I am originally from London, but have lived in the Bay Area for many years. As a single Mom, I spent many years working for attorneys in order to raise my son and daughter, but about four years ago I realized I wanted to change directions and teach yoga for the rest of my life. I had sporadically practiced yoga through the 80's and 90's and then in 2005 discovered Bikram and loved it until ACL reconstruction curtailed my practice for several months.
An on-line coupon brought me to Brian Monnier's California Yoga Company in April, 2010 and within a few classes I was hooked! I knew I had found a style of yoga which made sense to me and nurtured my body, mind and spirit and that this was the yoga I wanted to teach and to practice. I completed the Monnier method teacher training in April, 2012 and am thrilled to be teaching at the new Polk Street studio and to be learning and growing under Brian's watchful eye. I love the community and the teachers at California Yoga Company and look forward to my continued growth and sharing with you all the wonderful benefits to the body and soul of a regular yoga practice.

"Yoga: Because punching people is frowned upon."
I'm mostly joking but yoga has a special way of helping me find much needed zen. It's "zeneficial" one could say!
My yoga journey began in 2013, with a Livingsocial deal and a desire to get back into shape. Especially since the only shape I saw back then was the butt dent I've molded into my couch from watching back to back episodes of Law & Order: SVU for hours. Of course my first class was with the freakin' owner of the studio, Brian, a.k.a Lieutenant Pain a.k.a Sargent Ass Kicker. His attention to form and posture impressed me so much that despite my tears of pain and sweaty shame, I knew I was going to come back. Yoga has helped me get through my neck and back issues that came from years of being a server. Brian's yoga sequence has also improve my Vinyasa practice, being able to hold postures longer and really activate the proper muscles to be able to do arm balances and inversions.
With a background in teaching step aerobics and kickboxing, it made sense to sign up for the teacher training program. It feels good to guide and inspire yogis and one day they can call me Lady Lt. Pain a.k.a Lady Sargent Ass Kicker.

I'm running 3.8 WordPress with a Weaver II theme. I installed Social through the plugin upload on the WordPress dashboard.
On the setups page, I click the link for FB, a small screen comes up asking for permissions to access my account, I give permission, the page reloads and nothing shows up under the account - it stays blank with the anonymous man icon and says in gray "No Accounts". The same thing is happens for Twitter.
Can anybody help me with this?

Past You Said It!
Far from Homework
Nine-year-old Taylor asked this question: "If you had the chance to go to school in another country, which country would you choose and why?"
These girls shared their thoughts:
I would love to go to school in Costa Rica. At lunchtime, my friends and I could eat at the beach. For our field trips, we could go to water parks and jungles. And while doing my schoolwork, I could look out the classroom window and have a view of the ocean.
–Abigail, age 11, North Carolina
I'd pick France. The culture seems so interesting—wonderful food, fantastic art, and cute berets! I'd love to learn more about French architecture, too, especially when it comes to the Eiffel Tower.
–Maria, age 12, Texas
There are many places I'd like to go to school, but the top one is India. I'd get to eat delicious Indian food and wear beautiful clothes. At my school, maybe I could even take dance classes!
–Kienyen, age 10, California
I would choose to go to a school in Italy. I went to Venice last year, and the people seemed so nice. I think I would feel very comfortable going to school in Italy.
–Allie, age 11, Arizona
When I was younger, I lived in Venezuela, but I moved away three years ago. If I could go to school in another country, I would go back to Venezuela, where my old friends and grandparents live.
–Manuela, age 13, California
I'd choose to go to school in Greece. We'd probably take trips to lots of ancient monuments, and I love visiting those kinds of places. Instead of taking a trip to an amusement park or an aquarium, I'd get to go to the Parthenon.
–Caroline, age 11, Maine
I used to live in the Philippines, and I went to school there, too, so if I could go to school in another country, I'd go back there. The culture is very interesting, and I'd get to eat my favorite foods again, like sticky rice.
–An American Girl fan, age 9, Maryland
I would like to go to school in Scotland. It would give me the chance to learn about my Scottish heritage and see where my great-grandma lived.
–Caitlin, age 12, Virginia
I would like to go to school in Egypt because so much history is there. I love to learn about mummies and old tombs. I want to be an archeologist when I grow up!
–An American Girl fan, age 11, Missouri
I'm home-schooled, but when I went with my family to Africa a few years ago, I actually got to attend a school there for a few weeks. Even though I had a lot to learn about the culture, I had a lot of fun. That's the school I would go to.
–Abigail, age 13, South Carolina
I would go to a school in Ireland. I've never been there, but I did a school project about it recently and saw that it's a really beautiful place. I think it would be cool to walk home from school every day and see those rolling green hills.
–Abby, age 11, Illinois
I would go to school in Spain and join a soccer team. I love soccer, and it's my dream to be a professional soccer player someday.
–Christina, age 13, Alaska
If I had the chance to go to a school in another country, I'd actually choose to stay put at the school I go to now. My school is amazing—fun activities, unique classes, kind teachers, and nice friends. I wouldn't change a thing!
–Ria, age 12, California

The type of San Francisco coworking space with books and stuff
A number of coworking companies have popped up in our city and I am trying to find one that feels right to work in. The first two I visited were OK but had a bit too much of a sales/business vibe for me. In contrast the Makeshift Society has an art school feel to it that feels refreshing. I'm not the artiest person in the world, but I'm wondering what other coworking places might have an interesting alternative feeling. [more inside]

Things to do on Christmas day in San Francisco
So my original Christmas day plans fell through, and I live 5000 miles from most of my family. I do have a brother who recently moved to San Jose, though, and we'd like to spend the day doing something together. We're both wary of bringing each other to friends houses (we're different kinds of people, move in different circles, etc) - so we'd like to try and find something fun and novel that we can go and do, just the 2 of us (though if it were something social in the sense that we may meet a bunch of strangers doing this thing, then that would be cool). Anybody have any ideas? We're also British. I don't know if this information will help you, but hey, there you have it. 2 British guys in San Francisco with no idea what to do on Xmas day. Hive mind, halp!

Bay Area Apartments: Explain like I'm 5
I have a job offer in San Francisco. I understand that renting there is more difficult than it's ever been. My requirements are: I want to be able to walk + bike + BART/Bus to work, which is around South Beach. Other than that, I am cool with East Bay, South, whatever. I could swing $2500-ish a month, but that is an upper boundary. Tell me about neighborhoods, tell me whether there exist "apartment headhunters" who could reliably do this for me, school me thoroughly. Thank you in advance.
Christmas Entertainment in San Francisco?
My wife and I usually visit our families on the east coast for Christmas. This year, however, my wife will be 35 weeks pregnant, so we're staying home in San Francisco. We'd like to find some festive Christmas events in San Francisco to entertain us that are local and compatible with being pregnant (so Santacon is probably out). Bonus points for events that are uniquely San Franciscan.
New Year's Day in San Francisco
I'm spending New Year's in San Francisco so my partner and I can get married (no gay marriage allowed in Montana, so we're headed to the home state of both our families).

Where can I buy fancy coffee beans in sample sizes in San Francisco?

Do any of this city's fancy coffee shops sell small sizes or gift sets like that? [more inside]
Best dry cleaner in Bay Area for a white satin designer suit?
I need to clean an expensive white Oscar de la Renta skirt suit that's lined in taffeta/tulle; it has some faint smudging here and there on the thick reverse silk-satin fabric. I wouldn't trust a normal dry cleaner with this, and don't know where else to go. Alex's seems exorbitant and gets awful reviews; Peninou seems doubtful as well; and I read somewhere about Crystal in San Mateo but don't have much to go on. Does anyone know a cleaner (preferably in San Francisco, but I can drive elsewhere if necessary) who works with designer items, maybe wedding gowns, who would know how to work with tricky white silk fabric? Many thanks!

Device to tell whether someone's entered my apartment?

For my peace of mind, I'd like to install some sort of reasonably priced device to ensure that no one's entering my apartment when I'm not there. A huge bonus would be collecting evidence if it does happen. [more inside]

Things to do in SF during Burning Man
The burn is about to begin, and San Francisco and the East Bay are about to vacate. I, however, have been left behind, holding down the fort at work while others party in the desert. Things aren't all bad though, as being in SF during Burning Man comes with some advantages - like being able to actually find parking or not having to wait as long for a cone at Humphrey Slocombe. What are other things to do in the Bay Area that are busy much of the year but not as crowded during Burning Man?
San Francisco public transit from SFO to Nob Hill area?
I'm travelling to San Francisco today for a conference. It'll be my first time there, and I'd like to take public transit from the airport to my hotel - the Fairmont, on Mason St. It looks like I can take a train (BART?) from the airport to Powell St., Montgomery St., or Embarcadero, and walk from there. Is it reasonable to ride the train at 7 PM with a largeish rolling carryon bag and a backpack? Which station should I walk from, if I don't mind a bit of a walk but want to avoid overly-sketchy areas?
San Francisco for teenagers.
My younger brother, a rising senior in high school, will be visiting me in the Bay Area next week. We will have 2-3 days to spend in the city (really, any place accessible by Caltrain). I need an itinerary of fun places to check out. The main criteria are that anything you recommend should be easily accessible by public transport, not too remote, and also immediately spectacular for teenage boys and other people without particular interests. Yes: museums with minimal reading, weird architecture, cable cars, great views, robots and video games, and so on. No: major league sports, "funky boutiques," "must-eat restaurants." The rest of our week will be mostly spent outdoors, so indoors is OK. Thanks for suggestions!

how to plan a San Fran wedding in 30 days or less
We just decided to get married in San Francisco, in about a month. Do you have any recommendations for a wedding planner who will help with venues and food? We are thinking of an outdoor ceremony followed by a dinner at a restaurant or catered venue. Or a boat cruise with decent food. We don't need flowers, music, dancing, invitations, decorations or seating arrangements. We basically need someone to suggest an available venue (and get the requisite permits if needed) and organize the food reception afterwards. This will be for about 20-30 guests. Any suggestions on a specific location, or for a wedding planner? The goal is something like a cross between eloping and a wedding. Fast and fun! [more inside]

With three simple numbers you can forecast your worship attendance one year from today. It's quite easy, and surprisingly reliable.
But before we talk about how … let's consider why. Is there value in looking into the future? Or, as Marty McFly discovered, is it just plain trouble to mess with Father Time?
Actually, I am a firm believer in forecasting for the simple reason that if our forecast indicates a potential problem, we can do something to keep it from happening. For example, suppose your forecast indicated that your worship attendance would be down by 10 percent in one year. If you could do something to prevent that situation, wouldn't you? I hope so.
So, let's look at how we can cheat the calendar and peek into the future. It requires three numbers: your visitor volume, your visitor retention, and your back door.
Visitor volume—the number of visitors/newcomers at your church services, as a percentage of your total attendance. To calculate this, add all the first-time visitors who attended a service at your church in the past year, then divide by the total number of persons in attendance (including visitors). The result will be the average percentage of visitors at your services—this is your visitor volume. (Growing churches, by the way, average 4-5 percent.)
Visitor retention—the percentage of your visitors who become involved following their first visit. To calculate, list each person who has visited your church in the past 6-18 months. Then determine how many of them are now regular attenders. Divide the number of involved visitors into your total number of visitors. The result will be your visitor retention rate. (Growing churches average 18-21 percent.)
Back door—the percentage of your total constituency who leave. Simply identify the number of people who stopped attending last year for any reason (transfer, death, inactivity, etc.). Divide this by your present constituency. The result will be your back door rate. (Growing churches average 5-8 percent.)
Once you have these three numbers, take your present attendance and project it for next year. Multiply your present average attendance by your visitor volume to get the average number of visitors you can anticipate. Multiply that number times your visitor retention rate for the number of newcomers who are likely to stay. Subtract the number of people expected to leave. The result is your projected attendance one year from today.
For a stimulating exercise: gather your church leaders together to "play with the numbers." First show the projections of where present trends will take you. Then ask, "Is this where we believe God would have us be in one year?" If the consensus is "no," ask, "Then what do we need to change?" The controllable variables are visitor volume, visitor retention, and the back door. What happens on your spreadsheet if you add one person per week to visitor volume? What if you doubled your visitor retention? Or halved the back door rate?
Such a conversation will lead to a thoughtful exploration of the past, a critical evaluation of the present, and a stimulating vision of what future changes might lead to more effective stewardship of the people God has put under your spiritual care.

I began programming as an Electrical Engineer in the microelectronics industry more than 30 years ago.
I have always used very specialised automatic test equipment, which gives me an unusual perspective on how to solve software problems (usually by myself without recourse to libraries and frameworks). This is definitely not mainstream, but I don't create commercial software: my user-base is my fellow employees.
My contributions to SO probably seem other-worldly, but the programming environments I've used have never been Windows-based and only vaguely Unix-like.
HOWEVER — In late February 2010, I was admitted to hospital with a suspected stroke. Tests showed it wasn't a stroke, it is Multiple Sclerosis. Thus begins an inevitable slide into disability.
While I'm now back at work, hopefully for a few more years, I think the effort of engaging in SO (after a lull of over 12 months) might be too much for me. Besides, I can't type as fast as I used to and my neurologist made ominous predictions about loss of mental faculties...
So, I can participate in SE sites as a test that my brain continues to work. I apologise in advance if some of my contributions seem strange and even more other-worldly. Please bear with me.

President Obama Will Accept His Nomination at a Stadium Named After a Giant Multinational Bank
That's kind of awkward.
This is a little awkward, but it's not like there's a 74,000-seat "Our Brave Men and Women in Uniform Stadium" at which Obama could give his acceptance speech:
On the final night of this fall's Democratic National Convention, President Barack Obama will deliver his acceptance speech at Bank of America stadium, party sources told the Observer on Monday night ...
The move, which would open the speech to the public, is designed to help mobilize voters in North Carolina, a key swing state. It could also serve as a perk to donors, who could be rewarded with skybox seats.
Just as in 2008, only Obama's speech will be delivered in a huge football stadium, while the rest of the convention is taking place in a slightly smaller venue — hopefully one that isn't named for a company everyone hates!
The president will accept the nomination Sept. 6. So far, organizers have said only that plans call for holding the convention at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Never mind.

I have great news for you! The Great Vegan Bean Book is shipping from Amazon right now, so if you already pre-ordered the book, look for it to hit your mailbox soon. To celebrate, here's another recipe from my newest book – this Indian Chickpea Yogurt Salad is the perfect warm weather meal, and is an awesome packed lunch too.
You didn't order your book yet? I am doing a giveaway and you can win a copy of The Great Vegan Bean Book that you can keep or give to a friend! Enter by leaving a comment on this post telling me your favorite bean or bean dish. I will pick a winner Monday May 13, 2013. Please make sure you fill in your email on the comment form so I can get in touch with you if you win.
Get extra entries by doing one or more of the following, and leaving an additional comment for each one. If you already follow me on Pinterest or Facebook just leave a comment telling me that. You can follow me on:
This recipe uses kala namak or Indian black salt. Calling it black salt is always confusing to me because the outside is black but what you buy is pink and powdery. You can get it cheapest in an Indian market though you can easily order it online too. What's so special about it is that it really makes things taste like eggs. It has a higher sulfur content than regular salt and is amazing in scrambled tofu too. If you hated the taste of eggs you can leave it out.
- 3 cups cooked chickpeas or 2 cans (15 ounces, or 425 g each), rinsed and drained
- 1 large potato, cooked and diced (peeled if not organic)
- 1 large cucumber, diced (peeled if waxed)
- ½ small onion, minced (optional)
- 1 cup unsweetened soy yogurt (*use So Delicious plain coconut yogurt to make soy-free)
- Juice of ½ lime
- 1 ½ to 2 ½ teaspoons kala namak
- (use less if you are on a low sodium diet, but kala namak is less salty than most salts - also do not use this much if subbing regular salt!)
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ to 1 ½ teaspoons cayenne or other spicy chili powder
- ½ teaspoon coriander
- Chopped cilantro, for serving
- In a large bowl, combine the beans, potato, cucumber, and onion.
- To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Add the dressing to the veggies and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Serve topped with cilantro.

Most Helpful
The Creole Mayo is excellent. I have used it with plenty of other sandwiches, and other fish.
This was tasty. Sorry, I lightly breaded the fish and fried(personl prederence), but I used the other ingredients as written. This will be made again, as written. Thanks for posting. Made for I Recommended Tag.
From a novice fish-cooker who is trying to get more fish in her family's diet, THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! DH, who HATES any fish that isn't sushi, said he really liked this! :) I really liked this, and DD who loves fish liked it, too, so it's good for people leery of fish and who already love it. I used my non-stick frypan (I don't have a grill pan), and will probably lightly rub in some oil to the fish, because it still stuck quite a bit. Also I need to remember to not give DS3 the mayo, as he said it was "too hot" - though I thought it was great. :) And whole wheat hamburger buns were good, but I bet french rolls would be even better! Thank you again, I will be making this again and again. MAde for ZWT5, for the Groovy GastroGnomes.

iB969 Charging Station
Company: iHome
Price: $49.99 USD
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've found that I have my electronics scattered about in my house. My iPad was being charged overnight in the den, my iPhone was being charged in my bedroom and my iPod was relegated to another room. Another part of the problem was that the outlets in the each of the rooms already had other items plugged into them, like computers, lights, etc. The iB969 Charging Station has changed all of that for me.

Hi there,
Spun is definitely the easiest to use theme I've ever encountered - it's beautiful!
I use the circles on the homepage as links to pages instead of posts (that was a simple modification to make, thanks forum), however I've now reached the point where I would like to create a page that doesn't appear on the homepage.
Problem is, whenever I create a new page, it automatically shows up on the homepage, and I can't figure out how to control this.
Any ideas?

Cooling, uplifting, firming, astringent formulations with algae and energizing elements to enhance the delicate eye contour.
Tap 1-2 drops of eye serum around entire eye contour (under eyes, on outer corners, on eyelids and brows) until thoroughly absorbed. Optional: follow with lightweight moisture cream. For best results, use on clean skin twice a day.
Made in Canada.
Please view the above tab for ingredient information.
Why Refresh?
Refresh your skin with a hydrating serum or moisturizing spray. Both serums and sprays will support your moisturizer. With its high water content, sprays can be used to set makeup and add moisture to the top layers of skin when you need it. They're great for airplane flights, when living in dry conditions, or for midday refreshers.
What is a Serum?
Deciding to use a serum can depend on various factors including skin type, age or degree of damage. They are able to effectively absorb onto the skin, delivering active ingredients for maximum benefit. Depending on ingredients, serums contain anti-aging properties that help to firm, tighten, provide anti-oxidants, re-texturize, or address the signs of aging. If you decide to use a serum with your moisturizer, select one with the ingredients or benefits associated with the concerns you wish to address.
How to Refresh with a Spray or Serum
Apply to a freshly cleansed face after your toner and/or exfoliator. Once your application of serum has been absorbed (approximately five minutes), simply apply an ample layer of moisturizer. You can also use a refreshing spray during the day, between moisturizer applications.
INGREDIENTS:Aqua/Water/Eau, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract, Glycosaminoglycans, Glycogen, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pentylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Tropolone.

wp 1.5
tested in IE and FF
I've searched the forum for this problem, but perhaps can't search properly or it has not been covered (most likely, just didn't search properly). anyway:
I have tested this on a new install/simple layout, and the outcome is the same. For some reason, there is just a 15-20px white space above the start of the actual content (header.php) What could be the source of this problem?
I know you might ask for the CSS but it's quite lengthy, and messy right now. It'd be fairly difficult to search through until I clean it up a bit.
Just wondering if there were any "quick" fixes, quick ideas? (also, it's not on the site linked from my name)

declared on WS-*
I have
been hearing a lot of feedback from customers asking for more transparency on which
specs are complete and which ones we expect to see more churn on. We
started a web-site to help disseminate more information on the workshops that
Microsoft and our collective Industry partners have been holding to present the work
in the WS-* protocols specifications, gather feedback, and collaborate on interoperability. The
next workshop will be an interop workshop for Reliable Messaging. The workshops timeline
can help folks track the progress of the specifications.
on the specs
is already deployed in numerous production systems. OASIS
is close to recommendation on the WS-Security spec. I
feel that WS-Security is a great example of how specifications should be designed. Even
before the OASIS ratification will occur, WS-Security has already been widely adopted
by customers and numerous vertical standards bodies are investigating it as a foundation
for Web services security. I
have been excited to see case studies coming across my desk that demonstrate ROI implementing
WS-Security in ways I never even thought about. Simply
removing the administration headache of dealing with point to point ssl connections
has lowered complexity for many of our customers. Customers
love the simplicity of the WSE programming model and are continuing to choose .NET
as the development platform of choice for Web services development. This
is reflected by the recent update to the Gartner Magic Quadrant.
week, there was a revision made to the WS-Transaction
specification framework (WS-Coordination,
WS-AtomicTransaction). Also,
Policy was updated as a result of obtaining feedback from the spec workshops and from
implementation experience. It is pretty exciting to see how much traction WS-* has
and how quickly the industry is coming together to make interoperability a reality.
is a new
whitepaper on the Secure, Reliable, and Transacted Web services protocols.
specs are done
Gates and an
executive got on stage this week in
New York
. The coverage on the event was amazing. They
declared victory on the WS-* protocols for providing secure, reliable, transacted
Web services communication. Press Coverage
included WSJ, NY Times, Forrester
Research, Associated
Press, InformationWeek, InfoWorld, CRN,
(about 20 more pieces not listed)
Microsoft and
also recommitted to making the protocols available to customers royalty free. When
asked if he really meant it, Gates laughed, and confirmed he won't back off the promise.
"I can't believe I said that"
was demoed? Read the whitepaper for
the full scenario. A real world supply
chain scenario where a user logs into a partner company to place an order and the
order is processed via secure, reliable, transacted Web services communication to
the backend systems. They showed off
how the WS-* protocols can be composed to provide messages that are secure, reliable,
transacted, and/or any combination of these three. They
even unplugged a network cable to show the reliable messaging in action. There
was a tablet, smart clients, web browsers, trust issuing services, transaction servers,
reliable messaging infrastructure, multiple backend databases, multiple simulated
companies, and each endpoint was running either a .NET or WebSphere backbone.

10 great gift ideas for people who have everything
When it comes to great gift ideas, I always struggle — especially for people who have everything.My family draws names every year as part of our annual Christmas gift exchange. It's typically done a year in advance, on Christmas Day, long after all the presents have been opened, and everybody has stuffed themselves on our traditional cavatelli dinner.
I remember one year when I had the misfortune of pulling Uncle Paul's name out of Santa's hat. That put me in a tough spot because he's an octogenarian who has all the money he'll ever need — so when the guy wants something, he buys it.Anyway, as soon as I drew his name, I pulled my Aunt Mary Jane aside to get some gift advice, but she was no help. "Paul's had everything he's ever wanted since 1979," she said. Great.
For a moment, I considered trying to make a homemade Christmas gift; but truth be told, I quit working with bird seed, paste and toilet paper rolls after I graduated from kindergarten.Eventually, I came to realize that there are plenty of great gift ideas for people who have everything — you just have to be willing to think outside the box.
Here are ten of them:
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
This is the most lame list of gifts I have ever read! The premise of the list is for those who "have everything." Car repair? Groceries? Charity donations in somebody's name? I imagine that giving groceries to somebody who "has everything" would be very weird. I assume that people who "have everything" don't want my grocery present, an offer to have their car fixed, or a charitable donation. If there is anybody who thinks that paying for car repair is a good idea for a gift then I would be happy to give you my number...

@MikeTB - you must not have everything because I think it's a pretty solid list. I'm very hard to shop for because I just don't think about getting things until it's too late. An example, I just got several gift packages from Creminelli, a very thoughtful gift from my brother yet very easy for him to give.

On the charity front, microfinance loan organizations like Kiva give the recipient the opportunity to be actively engaged in how the gift is used rather than just passively receiving a card announcing the donation. The gift recipient can choose who to lend the money to and can relend it many times over as the loans are repaid (or he or she can cash it out). It's a way to help entrepreneurs in the developing world get started in business.

I have a GridView with a small number of items in it. I want my users to be able to select the items by clicking on them. However if they click or drag on the GridView background, i.e. on a item, then I want the event to pass through to the control beneath.
If I set MyGridView.IsHitTestVisible = false then I can manipulate items below the grid but then I can't select my grid items. Setting IsHitTestVisible = true on the ItemTemplate doesn't help.
How can I do this?
