What would Martin Luther King think of the world we live in today? Many people ask this question and many more after tragic events such as the killing of Mike Brown and the resulting protests in Ferguson, MO and across the country. I really began to take the question seriously after the murder of 12 year old Tamir Rice by police over a fake gun. When a child is killed and it is beginning to like like it was only because he was black and someone had thought he might be a threat, that is when you know the system is broken. That's when I began to feel deeply, deeply, dissatisfied.
"Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds. Let us be dissatisfied until the tragic walls that separate the outer city of wealth and comfort from the inner city of poverty and despair shall be crushed by the battering rams of the fires of justice. Let us be dissatisfied until they who live on the outskirts of Hope are brought into the metropolis of daily security. Let us be dissatisfied until slums are cast into the junk heap of history and every family will live in a decent, sanitary home. Let us be dissatisfied until the dark yesterdays of segregated schools will be transformed into the bright tomorrows of quality integrated education."
I believe that Dr. King would also find himself deeply dissatisfied at the progress we have made in this country, or lack thereof. I do not think this is the future America he dreamed of. We have the illusion of progress but not real progress. Or maybe we have taken a few steps forward in some ways and slid back in others. Or maybe it's that there is just so much hate left in the world that real progress cannot be made. I'm not sure what our excuse is but I am sure we are still far behind where we could or should be. I know that we have gotten far off course and that we must begin to make things right.
In case you aren't already, here are a few statistics that should make you feel dissatisfied too:
- Black students accounted for 18 percent of the country's pre-K enrollment, but made up 48 percent of preschoolers with multiple out-of-school suspensions. Preschoolers! [source]
- Black students were expelled at three times the rate of white students. [source]
- Black girls were suspended at higher rates than all other girls and most boys. [source]
- Nearly half of the nation's Black students attend high schools in low-income areas with dropout rates that hover in the 40-50% range. [source]
- 24.7% of all African-American live in poverty in comparison to 8.6% of all non-Hispanic White, 11.8% of all Asian-American and 23.2% of all Hispanic. [source]
- The racial composition of the US prison and jail population as of 2008 was 60.21% (African American (non-Hispanic), 20.29% Hispanic, 13.44% White American (non-Hispanic) , and 6.06% Other (American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander American, and Multiracial American). [source]
- Blacks, age 15 to 19, are killed by police at a rate of 31.17 per million, while just 1.47 per million white males in that age range died at the hands of police. [source]
Reading all that how can we all not feel dissatisfied? I don't think any of us want to live in a world where the above statistics are true. The above statistics aren't even some of the worst of it. The statistics regarding black women specifically are even more grim. We all should be ashamed of ourselves, and we should all understand why there is so much frustration coming from minorities and people of color. No one ever said life was fair, but there are some people for whom society is unfairly unfair.
I don't pretend to know how to fix any of this. The issues seem more complicated than I alone could find a solution to. I do know that the way to begin is simple enough. We must all do two things, for one we must learn to feel more empathy for our fellow human beings. We are all so alike and yet we imagine everyone else is an "other". We refuse to listen to each other and call the "other" lazy, stupid, not a real part of the America we imagine. When we do this we are wrong. There is no "other", there is only all of us and we are in this alone, and together, and we have to begin to give a shit about each other!
Secondly, we all have to speak up! Whether an issue concerns you or not doesn't matter, you know injustice when you see it. Don't pretend, don't hide, don't say it's not your responsibility or place, speak up! Stop hearing the news and then going about your day as if people all over aren't beig killed or jailed unjustly. Stop acting like you don't know there are children homeless and starving and going to shitty schools that will just about guarantee they continue to be homeless and starving their whole lives. Or until they are jailed or killed unjustly.
That's all it takes to start. That's all we all have to do. Be nice to each other, think of one another, and speak up when something is wrong. We could all make a lot of change with just those two actions. I think then I, and the Martin Luther King that lives in us all, might find ourselves a little more satisfied with this world.

Business & Real Estate
Temple Coffee to open 4th Sacramento cafe
Temple Coffee Inc., roasters and purveyors of award-winning craft coffees, is adding a fourth Sacramento retail site at 22nd and K streets in midtown Sacramento.
Aaron Marchand, urban properties director for Turton Commercial Real Estate in Sacramento, said he expects the 2,500-square-foot coffee shop to open in a couple of months, nothing that "they've been doing quite a bit of construction in there."
Temple is going into space once occupied by Strutz Jewelers. The family-owned jewelry business announced in December 2008 that it was closing its midtown store after operating at the site for more than 60 years.
Marchand said the new Temple site will offer baked goods, coffee and teas and will have outdoor seating.
Temple operates establishments at 1010 9th St., 2829 S St. (also site of its roasting operation) and at 2600 Fair Oaks Blvd., in the Arden Arcade area. In December, Temple was ranked twice among the country's top 30 coffee rankings, as rated by the Berkeley-based Coffee Review.

Today, we discussed a case of an elderly man with HTN and alcohol use disorder who presented with subacute progressive dyspnea, weight gain, and decreased UOP in setting of NSAID use, found to have nephrotic syndrome secondary to minimal change disease. Some learning points on nephrotic syndrome:
1) Can be contrasted with nephritic syndrome. Keeping in mind that nephrotic syndrome is defined by protein excretion greater than 3 grams/day--associated with edema, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and lipiduria.
2) Complications include:
- Volume overload
- CV disease (related to HLD)
- Thromboembolism! (related to generation of prothrombotic factors and loss of anticoagulant factors via proteinuria)
- Endocrine abnormalities
- Infection
- Anemia
- Acute Renal Failure (common and often due to ATN from severe intravascular volume depletion)
3) Etiology can be primary or systemic diseases:
- Primary:
- Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
- Membranous nephropathy
- Minimal change disease--Prototypical presentation includes acute onset of nephrotic syndrome following URI in a patient with atopy. Defined by podocyte effacement (on electron microscopy), can be secondary to drugs (NSAIDS, ampicillin, IFN, lithium, rifampin), thymoma,
- Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
- IgA nephropathy
- Secondary:
- Diabetic nephropathy
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Myeloma kidney
- Amyloidosis
- Toxins such as NSAIDs
4) Bonus question: Be the first to answer correctly and win a starbucks gift card.
At what albumin level would you consider starting prophylactic anticoagulation in patients with nephrotic syndrome?

Farmhouse Orgiaglia si trova in provincia di Pisa a Volterra, in Toscana
Friday 23 August 2019
Farmhouse a Pisa in Volterra
Subscription for: 4 years
Loc. Ponsano, Volterra (Pisa)
Phone +39 Mobile +39 334 6537815
The Orgiaglia Estate is a splendid oasis, located between Volterra, San Gimignano and Siena.
In the old house, for 20 years Franco and Umberta have offered warm hospitality, authentic cuisine and Chianti at will.
Rooms with gardens and apartments, a swimming pool, tennis court, horse-riding paths, trips between the two castles and in the nature park, splendid animals and the excellent oil that will make you fall in love with this fresh, uncontaminated nature.
Orgiaglia: the place to regenerate, relax, make friends, laugh as you enjoy the pleasure of getting away from the grind of daily life, in our magical atmosphere.
Taking the country road, flanked by age-old cypress trees, vineyards and olive groves, you arrive at the gate of Berignone Nature Park and the Orgiaglia Estate...
Its great location in central Tuscany makes Orgiaglia the ideal point of departure for getting to places of historic, artistic and cultural interest, such as Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, Pisa, Firenze, Cecina and Lucca, whilst staying far from the hustle and bustle of these busier areas.
3,000 olive trees and sunflowers embrace the old farm, which was founded around the seventeenth-century master's house, Luppiano's villa, which looks on to the stupendous scenery between the natural land of Siena and the soft hills of Volterra, where your eye and spirit will fix upon the infinite and find peace.
The Estate is around 100 hectares, cultivated according to the criteria of organic farming, and is immersed in a faunal reserve of pheasants, hares, wild boars, foxes and deer.
It is the ideal place for whoever wants to recharge their batteries amidst the rare beauty of nature which is still intact and discover sounds, colours and smells: the gentle silence, olive trees of silver, aromatic broom flowers, pink and golden sunsets, red strawberry trees in autumn, fireflies and bright stars, nestled in the fresh breeze...of the sea
The hospitality of the Orgiaglia agritourism offers the opportunity to combine a luxurious holiday with a relaxing stay in rooms with bathrooms and independent apartments which enjoy unparalleled panoramas.
The seventeenth-century master's house, home to the dining area, the bower and the cottage which look onto the court, as well as leafy areas, with cypress trees and hedges, scented by lavender, oleander and rosemary.
These welcoming and comfortable environments are furnished with old artisan furniture and have been recently restored, respecting tradition and the original materials, which all creates a romantic atmosphere.
None of our accommodation has a living area above, so that no one can disturb you.
You can choose to use the half-board service and Bread & Breakfast when staying in a room or in an apartment; or just for one night.
Our family is always available to help you to meet your needs and to make the holiday all the more pleasant.
Pets are also welcome.
Agritourism is open for the whole year, including weekends and for groups.

- in the cottage, comprising 4 rooms on the ground floor.
The apartments
You can choose between apartments for between 2 and 6 people, each one with a private entrance, pergola with a table, deckchairs and private outdoor space.
The bower is formed exclusively of two apartments with three adjoining rooms on the ground floor: each apartment including a double bedroom, a smaller room with two beds, a bathroom with a shower, a living area with a double sofa-bed and a furnished kitchen area; ideal for two families.
On the ground floor of the master house, you will find a two room apartment, including a double bedroom, bathroom with a shower; living area with a furnished kitchen area and double sofa-bed.

Cantuccini (local biscuits) and Vin Santo (a dessert wine), grappa and genuine Chianti are available as much as you like... many other recipes of traditional Volterra and Tuscan cuisine, served at the pleasant table by the chimney in the stone room, outside on the pergola, or beneath the starry skies
It is a traditional kitchen, simple and tasteful, which takes you back to the old, abundant "slow food", rediscovering the merit of sitting around a plentiful table.
The magic recipe for your well-being is made from simple and natural things, healthy eating, enjoying one another's company, resting well and moving around in the outdoors.
Upon request, it is also possible to have lunch, from a full meal to an afternoon snack. During the day it is also possible to request sandwiches or drinks.
For breakfast, between 8am and 10.30am, we serve warm and cold milk, coffee, tea, fruit juice and water; bread and biscuits, cereal, butter, marmalade, honey from our apiary, homemade cakes, fresh seasonal fruit; upon request, egg, sliced ham and cheese for a continental breakfast.
"The most beautiful moment is to meet up again in the evening at the table, with the desire to be together, sharing bread, talking to a new friend about our experiences, hopes, life as it is; adventure...leaving behind the everyday, free to express ourselves in this large family gathered under the same starry sky.
In Orgiaglia, at every toast you will have one more friend!"
Franco and Umberta.
A holiday in Orgiaglia represents a special experience for whoever feels the need, as is often said, to "switch off" and for whoever wants to be taken away by traditional values and the history of a unique part of the world.
You will be able to discover the numerous cities of art and the artisan reality that characterise them: Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, Pisa and Florence; exploring the Natural Park, the walking trails in the countryside, doing outdoor activity or simply nothing at all...snoozing by the pool, reading outdoors or having a snack, enjoying the splendid environment of unforgettable scenery.
For the days you spend in agritourism, you can request lunch, drinks, sandwiches for, if you like, a picnic in the pine forest.
We will give you maps of the area and will give you information that can help you during your stay.

DT Diaries Part 3
The Story So Far
In Part 2, I took part in a couple of contests, found melons in the new bin game and became level 2.
(Cue Hub Music).
Hub Music
Part 3 A Lazy Afternoon
Today, Superthc wasn't on, which was unusual, he has been just about every day till now. He was doing something else apparently, and I'd said see you later before going yesterday, typical! lol. Good job he'd shown me how to do rice pond, and helped me to do some of my fishing tasks yesterday. I like fishing at rice pond while Superthc watches and helps me.
I still remember it quite clearly, me fishing and Superthc standing by the rack watching, and answering any questions I had, such as 'why can't I drink a beer sometimes?' I remember asking just then.
"Because you can't drink beer when the fish are black," he replied.
I'm reminded of it now when I show a student rice pond, although I am the one standing beside the rack telling them what to do now, partly because I also thought one day it's going to be me who's the mentor standing there where Superthc is. I felt quite the noob then, but that was to be expected, I was, at that time.
I'll just say that's one thing I thought would happen that did, the rest I never would have guessed.
I am in the same group as Kayla, even though it was Superthc who became my mentor, because Superthc is her student, so she is my mentor's mentor anyway. Also in the group is TheRealJoker007, or trj for short, another student of Kayla, and Bitdrago is in the same group too.
I played the Great Wall and after discovering it's evil, I said so in chat.
"lol, it sure is," replied izme.
"Evil as can be," agreed Bitdrago.
I had asked Superthc about it before and what he said was right, it's surprising how many Mongolians there can be! There is not supposed to be that many i'm sure. When you get mongolians it also says 'All you can think about is mongolians' lol, well, there is enough of them! In fact I don't know what's more worrying, that or what Di must have been thinking when he made that up, lol.
We have people from all over the world on Dragon's Tale, but no one from Mongolia yet, as far as I know, I don't know what they'd make of the Great Wall.
I also found my first herb, a 1btm one, (oh well, it's a start!) coincidently (wasn't really looking, and didn't know what they looked like before) and several people jumped to me when I called out. That's kinda funny, I almost want to find another one so I can do that again lol.
Hint: I would scout for herbs, before buying a licence, when you buy a licence you need to have an idea what your doing so you can at least make the cost of the licence back. Scouting costs nothing, is a good way to practice, and you get half the value of any herb you find.
You may find new or older players doing this as it's a good way to raise some btm.

rob:on:m, originally uploaded by monkey_pushover_tree.
Climbing mojo once again returned! Okay, so the above climb is not me on it, but I seconded this clean. I also believe that's the hardest climb I've done first go. And it was a dam awesome climb.
So yesterday we went to Dam Cliffs; this is a place I've been to many a time and lead all the easy routes before hand. The reason for this was that I knew the routes, they are easy and I can get my head back into climbing. The first one we jumped on was Jug City. Just like it's name, it has a lot of jug like holds. In fact, if you are not on a jug, then you're on the wrong hold. Which for me was a good confidence builder. I've lead this three times before (maybe?), so it should be nothing new. There was a moment before the first bolt where I was a bit worried, but after that it was easy. I almost climbed past one bolt. Then at the top I was bit anxious, but that lasted for a minute. Got to the top, felt a bit pumped, but all good. Happy was I again for completing a climb.
Next, I lead "fucary ring". This is a really good climb for beginner climbers. There are bolts every meter so you get used to placing draws and the like, There was this one moment where I stepped up in the wrong place and felt like I was about to barn door, but corrected myself, didn't allow the panic to set in. All good. I went right at the top, cause I could. Again a good lead.
Feeling good, I decided to top rope the 18. I'd thought I'd done this one before, but in fact it was the one next to it. There is a really tough move at the top. I wanted to top rope this first and see how I got on with it before attempting to lead it. Climbing up to the tough part is easy (as these things normally are), I remember Rob shouting, think how are you going to clip this… Hmm good question, I can't think how to get passed this move yet. It's fiddly, with an undercling, to a crimp, then another crimp, move up to the jug. Seems easy, but it's not. I did the hard move okay, then the next move, the easier one, I just couldn't sort out. I couldn't work out what to do with my feet. In the end here I just called take and had a rest. A minute or two later I tried again. This time got it; didn't fancy leading it though.
I had no regrets no leading it, today was to have fun and go from there. Amy went up and down it and I had another go. This time I got it. The move is still a PITA, but i got it.
Rob then lead the 19, the one above this. The pressure was on him as he'd onsighted everything else on the wall. He had to make this. I took photos, as Amy belayed. Rob, made it with no problems ( a few grunts there and then). The way that the climb is set out, you have to have someone come up the rope behind you (seconding).
So I decided to second the climb. I was feeling good, it looked like fun and the way things were going, I would do okay. The start is a pig though. I didn't see rob do the start as it's hidden behind a boulder. It's a fiddly bouldering mantle move of a small foothold. I gave it shot while Amy spotted me. Stood up and BAM… I hit my head on the bolder (good thing I have a helmet). I'm stuck I cried… looks like my chalk bag got caught. But I freed myself and got up on the boulder. What a pig of a move.. what's the rest going to be like?
Next is the traverse. This appears scary from the first look. You can see the floor drop away from you. Tops of trees and bushes appear below the rock…but the traverse is on a big ledge with big holds. Awesome view at this point and you start to feel the exposure. Falling here would be into space and could be interesting on how to get back. Then you get to the real part of the climb, the arête. Here it's overhanging but the holds are big when you get them. Lots of grunting and few quick moves and I make it to the big jugs. Dam fun moves, really good fun in fact. Then I'm at the top. I'm really quite ecstatic. That's the hardest climb I've completed outside as a first go. It's also a climb I'm pretty sure I could lead.
After this, I lead the 10; it's easy as, but fun. Then I downclimb it… which is much harder. All the big ledges obscure all that you can see. makes you think a lot about what you are doing. Amy does the same.
We then move over to the other wall. I'm getting tired now, and it's getting late in the day. James decides that he wants to jump on a 22…great thinks me as I'm not likely to complete that. That climb is occupied, so we do the one next to it. James says it looks easy and does it clean. There appears to be only one hard part. I think I can do it and try on top rope. I have no idea as to what grade the climb is but I give it shot. Yeah, it's pretty straight forward until the third clip. Then it's thin and thought provoking. I'm trying to remember where James went. I make a move for break of rock. It's thing and crap… I try to hold on, then Whoooosh… i'm off. I fall quite a way with the rope stretch and I pull amy off the ground nearer the rock.
This is a good thing. I needed a fall like this. It shows that everything works and it's all good. The system works etc. I try multiple times and eventually get the move and get to the top. Rob then gives it a go. I watch Rob move though the move that I got suck on. Something clicks to me about it. Rob says I should give it another go… I kinda have a think about it and do it again.
This time I'm at the hard move quickly. I remember that crappy side pull and crimp. This time I find a better left foot hold and stand up on this and find a good right foot. Reach up for the break and get it. Awesome..done the hard move. Jugs to the top. It's good to end the day on a good climb. I was quite happy to be done there.
Rob wanted to go do the unknown climb left on the other wall. That would mean that he'd onsighted everything there. I'd done that one before and it's a piece of crap. But, we went to do it. Rob leads it and finds out what a piece of crap it is. Then I second it. Again, a piece of crap. Its not as mossy as it was last time, but still pointless. But it's another successful climb for me.
Today I hurt lots though…a good hurt, from a good day at the crag.
Climbing mojo has returned…life is once again good.

Screw Perfection!!
Hey dudes....totally reading all the e-mails you sent me in response to my last newsletter. Tearing up and feeling so grateful for you all. Gives me strength to keep moving on, and sharing the parts of myself I've worked on hiding for all these years. I will respond to each of you! Might take a minute, just want to make sure I'm clear and open and have time and space to write back. I know y'all understand. And, if you still want to get on my e-mail list head on over to www.katlucas.com/subscribe or e-mail signup tab on this page. Should be on the left hand side under "Apps" or the bar at the top if you click on "more".
I'm so happy to read your comments and requests...for example Endri Qenanaj told me he misses my ukulele covers. I miss them too, and will definitely do my best to get some up! So, if there's anything you guys want me to write about, any questions, requests, etc. I'm totally down to do what I can. It's as much about you as it is about me! <3
Oh and I've been doing one-on-one coaching sessions as well if you didn't know already. Skype has been lovely, getting to connect with you all over the world. Music, life, inspiration, vocal, keys, guitar, writing, performance...I am totally open to sharing my knowledge with you, you just gotta ask! ;)
Of the last little while, I realized that I had this vision of "purity" for myself that was impossible to live up to. I had to be perfect, I had to be the best, I had to punish and be hard on myself to get better and achieve my goals. I still battle the idea that life has to be a "struggle". I'm learning that it can be fun, easy, light, wonderful.
No matter what surrounded me, I wasn't able to see the beauty or awesomeness in it, because I had my own dark filter on and would only focus on the things that were going wrong or that I needed to improve on. Then, I would be hard on myself for THIS and be angry at myself for not knowing better. And so... vicious cycle...downward spiral.
I just read a wonderful blog by my friend Jennifer Schramm, who is an amazing Equine Therapist. I've done sessions with her and wow, what an experience - highly recommend!. She talked about one of her horses not being able to see all the great things in her stall - the fresh water and hay, space to be on her own without the other horses trying to take her food, etc. because she was so focused on getting out - kicking, biting, digging holes etc. I could relate to this so much. I have developed habits of only seeing what needs to get done, what needs to get fixed, what I don't have yet, all the things I have to do. I rarely would step back and open my eyes and heart to what I do have, what I have accomplished, how far I've come. And, I would treat myself in a way I would never in a million years treat anyone else.
We are all our own worst critics. If we could see the way that other people see us, in all our beauty and awesomeness, we wouldn't be so stressed out about needing to change or being down on ourselves for not being a certain way or not accomplishing something else. I also read a great quote by the wonderful Mastin Kipp today on Instagram. He said, "What you desire is deliberately placed out of reach so that you can become the person it takes to obtain it". That totally hit me deep, and gave me an almost peaceful calm as my mind ran in circles trying to figure out how to put out this music, get everything done, record, tweak, write, paint, plan meetings, etc. I saw the blocks clearly that had been holding me back, and though they aren't yet completely gone, I am happy to be growing as a person, shedding the layers and old skin that I no longer need. Coming out as the brightest and shiniest version of myself and knowing that nothing can touch me.
Sending you all loads of love from over here... about to go for a walk/run and then excited to do my piece of art for the day from my 30 Day Challenge this month. I will post pics!!! Look forward to seeing yours as well.

4 'Healthy' foods that might secretly be sabotaging your plans to lose weight
On the surface of it, eating healthily seems pretty simple, right?
Cut out the junk food, gorge on greens and other veggies, drink plenty of water; but anybody who's tried to change their diet in order to lose weight can tell you that it's a lot easier said than done in that respect. Try as you might, even if you've got the right idea, if you're not eating in the right portions, you're fighting a losing battle.
Even worse: the foods you most entrust to help you shed the pounds could be the secret culprits that are secretly sabotaging you; like Matt Damon's character in the Departed. Here are some of those healthy foods that might be a lot less healthy than you initially expected.
1. Granola
When you picture healthy people trying to eat breakfast (probably after one of those early-morning jogs), they're probably eating granola - but your average package of granola is way different to how we think of it in our minds. With 597 calories, 28 grams of fat, and 24 grams of sugar, you're eating nearly as much sugar as a chocolate cake with frosting. No - this doesn't mean you can eat chocolate cake for breakfast instead.
2. Agave nectar
Another one of those foods that the guy who spends all of his time at Whole Foods talks way too much about, agave nectar has a reputation for being a healthier sweetener that honey or sugar, containing a way lower glycemic index than both of those sweeteners. Unfortunately, the fructose content in agave nectar is way higher than sugar and honey - around 90 percent. If you're trying to avoid type 2 diabetes, fructose can increase your insulin resistance in high doses.
3. Fruit juice
Now, this isn't to say that you shouldn't eat fruit, or that you shouldn't make your own juices at home. Fruits have plenty of fibre, vitamins, nutrients and minerals - but turn your fruits into juices, and all that good stuff gets filtered out, leaving you with little more than fructose. See agave nectar above for why you don't want a ton of fructose at once.
4. Smoothie Bowls
I'm sorry to say that smoothie bowls are a lot better for your Instagram feed than they are for your waistline. Pick one up at your local café and you're probably getting something with purées, sweetened yoghurt and - shudder - fruit juices. As a result, your average smoothie bowl has 490 calories and 67 grams of sugar. Whoa.
Well folks, I don't know what else to tell you. If any of these foods were part of your healthy dieting plan, then I'm very sorry for your loss, but on the plus side, there are tons of many foods that you can have that can help you to lose weight, and they'll actually help you lose weight - instead of promising to.

6 years to the day after Rosie & Alex met, they got married. They said hi to each other while attending a college orientation and are recent graduates of SF State. The SoCal couple find themselves ending their chapter in San Francisco and moving on to a new life in Pittsburgh PA – heading off the Monday after their Friday wedding.
For this and other reasons, it was a super emotional wedding. Yes there were tears and many hugs, but there was also much laughter and a real sense of intense connection.
The wedding was an intimate affair, with a total of 10 guests, some of whom came over especially from Mexico to see the special pair tie the knot. It was just immediate family present with a best friend or two thrown in for good measure.
Rosie and Alex's wedding was as simple and beautiful as they come. Flowers were foregone. Rosie's dress was $16.99 from Ross. She wore the boots she wore when she met Alex, six years ago. It was the moments and the connection that made it what it was.
Their ceremony took place on the rotunda at the top of the grand staircase – the most popular location for short ceremonies. After posed family portraits on the top floor, we said goodbye to the rest of the wedding group for a short while and got creative with couples portraits around City Hall.
To end my 3-hour coverage we finished up with the portrait location they had chosen. Their idea was to embrace the chaos of the City Hall/ civic center area. Rosie says, 'I know it isn't particularly pretty, but the spirit of the gritty part of the city is attractive to me. I like the thought of showing us in the city; it's sort of like showing that we've survived and thrived in San Francisco.'
I loved this idea of working amid the chaos of normal city life, pedestrians, traffic, construction and all the rest of it in this very urban spot.
Rosie also wanted to utilize the War Memorial Opera House which houses the San Francisco ballet, and specifically the beautiful steps out front.
This day was stunningly beautiful and what leaps out in my mind when I think back to Rosie & Alex's wedding day was the intense emotion that everyone was going through, particularly the groom's brother and mom. Also the connection between the young couple was palpable and ever-present. It made for a super special day at this life crossroads. Good luck, young lovers!

Two blog posts in a week and it's only Wednesday….you must think something's going on here…
Well you're right!! As I was working on Monday's post I discovered I had passed my final personal training exam!! Yippeee!!! I wrote my exam on November 4 and was told it would take 3-4 weeks for my mark to show up on my Fitness Registry account. Still, every morning, afternoon, and most evenings I logged in and braced myself for a potential score. I guess by yesterday I was used to the disappointment of no exam mark and I didn't have quite the same anticipation when checking as I had other days. But just as I was about to shove a piece of bacon in my mouth, there it was! That final mark of 115.5 out of 134. I danced around my living room waving my piece of bacon in the air before texting Jordan "I passed my ducking exam i passed my ducking exam i passed my ducking exam!!!!!" I was too excited to even care that Autocorrect didn't like me using curse words.
Coincidentally, I had my final practical evaluation scheduled for Monday evening. I went into it confident but nervous about how confident I was. I had read a message board the night before that said the Personal Training ICE (short for Instructor Competency Evaluation) was the most daunting task of the whole registration process. I dunno about that. Writing the Fitness Theory exam was fairly daunting. Meeting complete strangers from Craig's List to get my training hours in was pretty daunting. And writing the final Personal Training exam was very daunting. Performing a hamstring flexibility test, some girth measurements, and coaching 3 exercises seemed way too easy. Was I missing something?
Nope!! It was as easy as I had expected. I was in and out within 45 minutes, and with that, my registration process was complete. Now all I have to do is sit back and wait a few weeks for my fancy little piece of paper to come in the mail, informing me and the world that I am an official BCRPA Registered Personal Trainer. Yay!!! This whole process has been really rewarding. While I always had a pretty good understanding of the world of fitness and exercise science, I developed a really good grasp on how to COMMUNICATE that knowledge to those around me in normal-human terms. I met a bunch of fantastic people who were always willing to share knowledge, point me in the right direction, and give me their opinion which made me excited to enter an industry full of such friendly people. I also got a glimpse at the not-so-friendly, sales-y side of the industry, which has further solidified my decision of NOT wanting to go down that route. And finally, I am learning to trust myself and my capabilities more and more. I don't know if the post-exam/evaluation/training session anxiety will ever fully go away, but I'm going into these things much more confident than I did at the start.
So what's next for this chick? Well, I of course plan to continue working with my regular clients. I also plan on keeping my job at the hotel for a little while to continue with the steady cash flow and to drain the system for these ugly metal things that are getting stuck on my teeth next week. So since I won't have as much time as I'd like to devote to a large client base, I'll have to keep it capped at a number I haven't decided on yet. I'm also looking to tap into the online coaching market where I will offer individualized exercise programs and continued support and motivation all done via e-mail, phone, Skype, or other preferred method of digital contact. No cookie cutter programs!! If you would be interested in either one-on-one training or receiving my assistance from a distance (love the way that just rollllls off the tongue!) give me a shout and we can discuss our options 🙂 firstname.lastname@example.com
NOW. On Sunday Jordan and I had already planned out Monday's dinner so we could do all of our grocery shopping at once. But shepard's pie reaaallly didn't seem like the celebratory dinner that I was looking for. So I figured this was a great opportunity to test out a twist on a dish I had tried at Tappo Restobar last week. I scoured the restaurant's menu as I normally do a few days before dining and noticed they had bacon-wrapped dates on the menu. Yes. Bacon. Wrapped. Dates. I love bacon and I love dates, so how could I not love those? But when we got to the restaurant they weren't on the menu!! I was heartbroken, but the Chef was nice enough to make them for us anyway.
So that got me thinking. I may or may not have mentioned before that one of my favourite nightly rituals is grabbing a jar of nut butter and dipping stuff in it. "Stuff" could be anything from other nuts, Reese's pieces, carrots (they go well with peanut butter), and my personal favourite, an almond dipped in peanut butter stuffed inside a date that is then dipped in almond butter. Things stuffed in dates wrapped in bacon. Ohhhhh yes.
And so, I present to you lovely readers, the birth of peanut butter-stuffed bacon-wrapped dates.
These were simply amazing and I wished I had made more than 6 to share between the two of us, but my bacon is expensive and I had already had two pieces at breakfast so I thought I should try to ration the bacon love a bit. I had read about microwaving the bacon first before wrapping because A) cooked bacon is easier to handle and B) it made for a crispier finish. But I saw two things wrong with this. A) Microwaving bacon is sacrilegious, and B) I don't own a microwave. So I took my chances with using the bacon raw and the finished product still had the perfect amount of crispness.
I used some dried brown dates that I buy from a local dried fruit and nut vendor. Unfortunately I'm not exactly sure what kind they are, but I know they're not medjool dates! I don't think the type of date really matters, as most of them are sweet enough. Just be sure to remove the pit if it hasn't already been removed!
I used a pairing knife to cut an opening in the date, ensuring not to cut all the way through. This is where the fun comes in! Technically you could stuff these bad boys with anything you like. If you're hosting a dinner party and would like more of a grown-up hors d'oeuvres you could stuff them with blue cheese, or maybe an apricot or red pepper jelly. However I don't host dinner parties and I don't consider myself a grown-up so PB FOR THE WIN!
Once you have your date stuffed with goodness, close it back up and wrap it in half a strip of bacon. Roll that sucker up, fasten it with a tooth pick (which I thought I didn't have any of until I dumped a cup of water in a drawer and had to remove all the contents, which then unveiled a large package of skewers. After I had already wrapped and baked my bites of bacon deliciousness).
Just like I always forget to pre-heat the oven at home, I forgot to mention here to pre-heat the oven. 400 degrees farenheit seemed to do the trick just fine. I also didn't set a timer during baking; instead I sat in front of the oven, listening to the glorious sound of bacon fat cooking and watching them get darker and darker. I'd imagine it was about 10 minutes before they reached the perfect cookedness. When you take them out you really have to practice some willpower; these are HOT so don't pop one in your mouth right away! But once they've had a minute or two (but most likely just one minute) they're good to go. Enjoy! 😀

After spending the afternoon drawing, laughing and singing at Dr Sketchy's (brief nudity, beware), it was a bit of a downer heading back onto Glasgow's streets to find that Rangers winning the football league equalled people heckling other people and a lot of drunken aggression. Sectarianism is such an ugly thing and never fails to scare me just a little bit. It's been a week of settling back into Glasgow, then. I have been a bit quiet - much preferring my book and my knitting projects to social interaction. Saturday we did go out to West Kilbride - which markets itself as Craft Town Scotland - to visit the Old Maiden Aunt Yarns workshop. Following my recent yarn adventures, I decided against buying any yarn but I did commission Lorna of Chookiebirdie to make me a customised handstitched needle case. Weakness, thy name is Karie Bookish.
Finally, our good friend Gabi Reith has been involved in a big, big art project on the East Coast. She has taken a derelict building, covered it in fabric and decorated it with a giant sketch. It's very cool. See for yourself, if you don't believe me.

Proposed amendments to Canada's Tobacco Act would further limit cigarette advertising
Canada's Health Minister has introduced a bill, Bill C-32, which would place additional restrictions on tobacco product advertising in Canada if enacted in its current form.
Currently, Canada's Tobacco Act allows certain types of tobacco product advertising (information or brand-preference advertising) in:
- publications that are delivered by mail and addressed to an adult identified by name;
- signs in places where those under 18 years of age are banned by law; or
- publications that have a minimum adult readership of 85%.
Bill C-32 eliminates exception (3) above.
The bill was introduced in Canada's Parliament on May 26, 2009. It usually takes several months before bills are enacted into law.

The Importance of Formal Education
I am a firm believer in education. I should be. My profession is a teacher, but it goes beyond that. Since I graduated from college in 200, I have tried to keep my education going. I have been enrolled in some sort of class or have been teaching myself pretty much since then. I even went so far as to undertake earning a MFA in Animation and Visual Effects while working full time and raising a family. I guess I like the torture. While surfing the net I keep coming across discussions on art related websites about how formal education is not important, but it is only the work that counts. I agree that the work is the most important thing, but I don't think we can discount formal education.
One of the main arguments that I hear is that most of the things you learn in class can be learned on the Internet. Most of these tutorials are cheap, if not free. I agree that a lot of the technical skills can be found. I know that I have found some great resources online for learning visual effects such as Video Copilot. There are also great resources to have your work critiqued by your peers such as The CG Society. However, there is something lacking from all these sites: structure. In order to teach yourself something complex like visual effects you have to be a pretty motivated person. We all have busy lives and the problem I have found is that usually learning something new can be put on the back burner because of your "real" job or family. A learning environment such as a school program can give you that structure because there are deadlines for the assignments and a set of guidelines that you must follow. This mirrors the real world more than teaching yourself. I am in no way bashing self taught people. Most of my skills have been self taught. However, I appreciate what a traditional program offers.
Another thing I hear a lot about is that schools are typically behind in what they are teaching because they are too big to adapt quickly. Sometimes this is true, but this also depends on the school. I also think that this depends on whether or not the student wants to pursue all that is out there. Obviously one avenue cannot provide you with all the information you will need. This happens with everything, not just formal education. With just about everything in life, you get out of it what you put into it. If you are going to school just to get a degree, which I will admit I did for my undergrad work, you probably won't come out of school with anything more than a piece of paper. The people who excel are the ones that go above and beyond and really want to learn. I don't think the problem necessarily lies with the university, but with the student. The thing you have to ask yourself is, "Why am I doing this?" I asked myself this very same question a few years ago. I knew I wanted to teach at the college level, and in Texas you need a Master's degree for most good positions. I originally enrolled in a educational technology Master's program thinking this would be a quick way to get my degree. After taking three classes that were way below my knowledge level, I started wondering why I was pursuing this. I didn't want to be a teacher forever. I knew that. So, how would this degree benefit me in the long run? Well, it wouldn't. That is when I started looking for something more. My undergrad BBA was basically a lot of theory. I didn't want my graduate work to consist of only theory. I began looking for a program that would give me marketable skills while providing me with a Master's degree. I found The Academy of Art University in San Francisco and was really impressed. What impressed me about this school is that the instructors are actually working in the industry they are teaching. Because of this, I have access to people who know what is happening right now, not 30 years ago when they started teaching. I am learning skills that I can use right now and in the future in case I do want to stop teaching or start working on side projects. I also have a peer group that are going through the same things I am and working on the same projects I am working on. This is extremely helpful because I might approach a task one way, while another student approaches the same task in a completely different way.
With that being said, I still go out and find other ways of doing things, and look at other programs that are used in the industry. The thing is, I have not limited myself to just this program. I have been working through other things to make myself a better artist. In order to succeed you have to keep bettering yourself. In fact, I am taking this summer off from my Master's work to take some courses at FXPhd. Will these courses count towards my degree? No. However, these courses will help me to become a better artist. By honing my skills I will be able to compete more effectively in the industry should I enter it. I'm not just doing this for myself, but also for the students I teach. I want to be the best at my job. To me, that includes keeping up with the latest techniques and programs. If one of my students asks me about rotoscoping, I want to tell them everything I can. If a student asks how a particular shot was done, I want to be able to help them deconstruct it. I could be teaching the next Steven Spielberg or Michael Bay. I want my students to see my passion so that hopefully they will develop a passion of their own. I guess this discussion all depends on your view of success. There have been many successful people that did not graduate from college or even high school. There are many millionaires who didn't finish college. However, I think there is something to be said about sticking with something and finishing a degree program. I don't think money should be the only motivator. Money comes and goes. The satisfaction of knowing that you undertook something, stuck with it, and finished says something about an individual. I want to better myself, that is why I keep learning. If it leads to more money, great. If not, so be it. I started my Master's in part so that I can teach at the college level, but that is not why I have stayed with it. I still think it is an accomplishment. It still means something to me. Sure, there will be people who are better artists than me. That is not what this is for. This degree says that I went through a program that lasted several years. It says that I had the commitment to start something and to see it through. It says that I have the drive and the passion to take my skills to the next level. But most of all, this degree says that I am trying to better myself. I am proud to say that I graduated college. According to the US Census Bureau, http://www.census.gov/prod/2009pubs/p20-560.pdf, only about 10% of the US population over 25 years of age reports having an advanced degree. I would say that having my Master's degree is something to be proud of. I still think there is something to be said for formal education. Yes, it does take time and money, but so does anything else that is worth having.

Select Music presents
Hayden Calnin 'Waves' Single Launch Tour
Event Details
Singer/songwriter and producer Hayden Calnin won approval from the masses after the 2016 release of his much anticipated two-part album 'Cut Love Pt. 1 & 2' saw him gain support from the industry through various international blogs and spins on renowned radio stations such as Triple J (AU), BBC6 (UK) and KCRW (USA). No stranger to having his music streamed on international TV, the LP saw Hayden's music in high demand with the artist landing himself syncs on shows Teen Wolf, The Fosters and a finale slot on The Vampire Diaries within the last six months. Add a sold out London date on his first ever EU/UK tour and Hayden's success is bitingly obvious...
After a year of writing and recording, Hayden is back and ready to crash into us with new single 'Waves'. 'Waves' offers up 3 minutes and 33 seconds of translucent electronica and takes a more serene tone than some of Hayden's darker, previous work. The track sees Hayden's haunting vocals meander through bars of delicate piano and synthesized harmonies - only reinforcing former comparisons to the likes of Bon Iver, M83 and James Blake.
To celebrate the launch of 'Waves' Hayden will be hitting the stage at Sydney's Hudson Ballroom with his band along with supports from special guests nyck and Tijana. Expect to hear new songs from the upcoming EP as well as favourites from his past releases.
"Like Matt Corby, The xx and Bon Iver all morphed into one man. Such a luxurious sound I wanted to lie on the floor and immerse myself in it..." - Dom Alessio, Triple J
"He knows how to combine an atmospheric ambience with a soulful indie-folk sound. What ties it all together is his voice..." - Pigeons and Planes

The Scottish Government has put in place a moratorium on underground coal gasification (UCG) further underlining its guarded approach to unconventional extraction of such resources. Despite having earlier indicated that the Scottish Government did not have sufficient powers to invoke a moratorium on UCG, Fergus Ewing, Energy Minister for Scotland announced on Thursday 8 October that: "In line with our evidence-led approach we are today also putting in place a moratorium on the onshore planning of underground coal gasification developments to allow time for full and careful consideration of the potential impacts of this technology for Scotland."
This follows the announcement in January 2015 of a moratorium on the granting of consents for "unconventional oil and gas developments" until further research and a public consultation is carried out.
The standstill on UCG in Scotland, which is being dealt with separately from onshore unconventional oil and gas (including fracking), has forced Cluff Natural Resources to pause its plans to extract gas from coal beds under the Firth of Forth at Kincardine until a decision has been reached on the technique.
However it appears that companies will have to wait longer than expected for clarity on the position. A detailed timetable for the research process and consultation has been published which indicates that a final decision will not be taken on the matter until Spring 2017. While the programme is comprehensive, the Scottish Government has been criticised for the length of time taken to reach a decision, particularly as no determination will have been made prior to the 2016 elections.
It was also confirmed that the research parameters into onshore unconventional oil and gas extraction will be widened so as to take into account the potential effects of the technique on climate change, the risk of earthquakes as a result of extraction and the requirements that should be put in place for decommissioning.
Northern Ireland
Moves have also been made in the approach to onshore unconventional oil and gas and UCG in Northern Ireland. On 28 September 2015 the Environment Minister, Mark H Durkan published the Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland (SPPS). The statement combined twenty separate policy publications into one base document. For the first time the statement enshrines the onshore unconventional oil and gas and UCG ban in planning policy. The guidance given being that "in relation to unconventional hydrocarbon extraction there will be a presumption against their exploitation until there is sufficient and robust evidence on all environmental impacts".
This wording leaves the position open to change subject to the Department being satisfied that there is sufficient and robust evidence proving the controversial shale gas extraction method is safe and does not damage the environment, but until that point there will to be no fracking or UCG in Northern Ireland.
While the decision has unsurprisingly been welcomed by many environmental groups including Friends of the Earth, there has been some opposition. MP for East Antrim Sammy Wilson has raised his concerns over the legitimacy of the policy claiming that the Mr Durkan was not entitled to make a unilateral decision on the subject: "For the minister to make such a policy statement without referring it to the Executive is totally illegal. It's controversial, cross-cutting and novel. I imagine that it will be stopped by the Executive."
In February 2015 the Welsh Assembly voted for a moratorium on fracking with Planning Minister Carl Sargeant claiming: "I will be stopping any local authority approving any planning application for fracking." The decision was met with some defiance from gas company IGas who denied that the Welsh Government had authority to stop fracking, pointing to their lack of devolved powers. However the UK Government has stated that while the Welsh Government does not currently hold the devolved powers to impose such a ban, no new licences will be awarded in Wales for fracking in light of the fact that the powers over licensing are due to be devolved as part of the Wales Bill. A petition to the Minister for Natural Resources, calling for an extension of the moratorium to include UCG, is currently being considered at Committee stage.
Such an anti-unconventional hydrocarbon stance is not echoed throughout the whole of the UK. In England steps have recently been taken to prevent oil and gas companies being deterred from submitting planning applications for shale gas exploration due to slow decision making processes. On 13 August 2015, the Department of Energy & Climate Change with the Department for Communities and Local Government, published guidance for local authorities advising how applications for proposed onshore sites for the exploration of shale gas should be treated. The guidance was aimed at identifying local authorities that are repeatedly slow in determining such applications. Where local authorities typically take longer than 16 weeks to decide applications, the guidance states that the Secretary of State for Communities may determine shale applications directly, fast tracking applications where necessary to avoid delays in decisions.
Lord Smith's Task Force on Shale Gas cautiously recommended in its third of four reports on the subject in September, that fracking should be pursued in the UK as an alternative to coal. The report highlighted the ways in which new technologies could be used in order to ensure environmental safety and revenue derived from the industry could be invested into pursuing low carbon energy generation.
This recommendation has been enthusiastically received by the Conservative Government. Amber Rudd, Secretary for Energy and Climate Change, in her speech to the Conservative Party conference last week confirmed the government's support of the safe development of shale gas in the UK: "gas is going to be part of the transition to a low carbon economy. It is also good for jobs; it's part of our plan to build the Northern Powerhouse and ensure the potential of all parts of the UK is realised; and it's good for our energy security."

Cirrus Logic, Inc.: Understanding the Apple Inc. Concentration Risk
Cirrus Logic is a chip company that develops mixed signal/analog semiconductors. In particular, much of its business comes from the sale of audio codes, and in some products, audio amplifiers, to Apple .
In fact, some estimates suggest that over 80% of Cirrus Logic's revenue comes from the sale of chips to Apple.
So, in light of the recent implosion in GT Advanced Technologies , it's worth exploring why, despite a cheap valuation and apparently stable position at Apple, investors should be mindful of the very real risk that comes with investing in the company.
The doomsday scenario: what happens if Apple dropped Cirrus?
Unlike the case with GT Advanced Technologies, Cirrus Logic wouldn't immediately go bankrupt if Apple dropped Cirrus Logic as a supplier. However, a look at Cirrus' most recent earnings report gives us the following important financial metrics for its fiscal year 2014:
- Net sales: $714.3 million
- Gross profit: $356.2 million
- Total operating expenses: $201.2 million
What would happen if Apple simply told Cirrus to take a hike? Well, the financials would get really ugly, really quickly with an 80% haircut to revenue; they'd look something like this:
- Net sales: $143 million
- Gross profit: $71.5 million (assuming about 50% gross margin)
- Total operating expenses: $201.2 million
This scenario would lead to an operating loss on Cirrus' part of about $130 million per year until it could get its cost structure under control.
Interestingly enough, before Cirrus purchased competitor Wolfson Microelectronics, it had about $268 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $40 million in long-term marketable securities. Post-Wolfson acquisition, which cost Cirrus $467 million, the company will be in a net debt position (since the deal was done with cash and $225 million in debt funding).
If Apple dropped Cirrus, I think the company would have a shot at survival if it could cut operating expenses fast enough, but it would get ugly for shareholders pretty quickly.
This is why Cirrus will generally command a low multiple
The purpose of this article isn't to try to "scare" investors; Cirrus is a good company that makes quality products -- its chips have been chosen by Apple for multiple iterations of iPhone and iPad products.
However, this is why the market is so sensitive to any potential socket losses at Apple, and it's why the company is unlikely to command a rich multiple (barring a significant change in its business).
Now, the acquisition of Wolfson Microelectronics obviously consolidates the market and gives Cirrus exposure to a wider base of customers, but remember that Wolfson's revenue base was about $179 million per year and was reportedly losing money at that revenue run rate.
There's some good news, though
Although much of Cirrus' revenue comes from sales of chips to Apple (which gives Apple a large degree of control over Cirrus), the knife does actually cut both ways. Early sales numbers from Apple, coupled with the generally warm reception that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have enjoyed, it does look as though Cirrus -- which, according to iFixit, won the audio codec slot in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus -- is poised to benefit from the successful Apple product launch.
Further, if the new iPads that are reportedly set to launch on Oc. 16 help reignite iPad growth as a whole, then Cirrus -- which will likely supply the audio codec to those products, as well -- is poised to benefit.
Foolish thoughts
Cirrus Logic is, at the end of the day, a component supplier whose business very heavily depends on the success of Apple products in the market. This is a double-edged sword, with both a very real potential payoff as well as substantial risk.
As the implosion of GT Advanced Technologies showed, the worst case can sometimes come true, so investors shouldn't ignore it when deciding whether or not to invest in Cirrus.
Apple Watch revealed: The real winner is inside
Apple recently revealed the product of its secret-development "dream team" -- Apple Watch. The secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see where the real money is to be made, just click here!
