If you're like us, you're thoroughly depressed by the Kevin Garnett Adidas commercials running right now, specifically the "standup comedy" segment, which makes Garnett look like, as Free Darko puts it, "the loneliest man alive."
The happy wanderers at Free Darko have actually put together a list of similarly depressing thoughts that the Garnett commercial inspires in them, the best of which we share with you here.
that commercial is oj simpson by himself watching the 2006 rose bowl
that commercial is bo kimble's nba career
that commercial is sophomore year homework involving 501 spanish verbs
that commercial is bruce willis raising his kids
that commercial is al gore conceding
As for us? That commercial is Sean May, last April.

Complex Roadway Improvement Project
The Alton Parkway Extension improves traffic by closing the 2.1-mile gap between Alton Parkway and Irvine Boulevard, just south of the State Route 241 toll road. Due to multiple jurisdictions (cities of Irvine and Lake Forest, County of Orange, and U.S. Department of Defense) and multiple land owners (County of Orange, the Navy, and Shea Baker Ranch Associates), this was a complex project.
BonTerra Psomas prepared the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that addressed a full range of environmental issues, with the most critical being biological resources, land use, hydrology and water quality, traffic, and visual impacts. The initial preferred alignment would have required redesign of the approved Orange County jail expansion. By working with all stakeholders, the solution allowed the road to utilize jail property and maintain the court-approved conceptual design for the jail while still enhancing wildlife protections. The EIR facilitated implementation by multiple agencies by clearly identifying the mitigation responsibilities and developing separate Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs for the County of Orange and the City of Lake Forest, the two agencies responsible for implementing the project.
BonTerra Psomas also prepared the Jurisdictional Delineation Report for the County of Orange portion of the site; completed focused surveys for special status plants, southwestern willow flycatcher, and least Bell's vireo; and prepared a Biological Technical Report. A Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Program was also prepared and a restoration program is being facilitated, providing compensatory mitigation for project impacts.

Are you ready for more Scotland photos? The one day we did a full day tour started with a view of the famous rail bridge that goes over the Firth of Forth into the Kingdom of Fife. It took me almost the whole trip to be able to say that correctly. A Firth is like an inlet or bay and the name of this bay is Forth and on the North side of the Firth is the Kingdom of Fife. Which apparently people from Fife are like Texans... they are from the US but they are 1st and foremost Texans... and thats how people from Fife are... They are from Fife and Scotland but Fife always comes first.
Our next stop was Dunfermline which is where Robert the Bruce (The Hero King) is buried. Although his heart is else where his body is buried in this church. Also in the church yard is where William Wallace's mother is said to be buried and because Wallace was drawn and quartered there is rumors that 1/4 of his body is here as well.
Our next stop was Bannockburn where Robert the Bruce fought a very important battle in Scotland's war of independence. This statue of Bruce is said to be a very accurate representation of what he truly looked like as it was designed using a scan of his scull and computer programs to create what he would have looked like.
This is Sterling Castle:
After spending 2+ hours around Sterling we traveled south to Rosslyn Chapel- which by the way before you ask- i did not see the holy grail, they didn't let us see what is in the vaults and the library that is shown to be in the basement of the chapel in the movie isn't there- that was a studio in LA. But it was beautiful none the less.
* you are not supposed to photograph inside the chapel which because I walked around outside first I didn't know and got this one photo before being scolded* Glad my exposure was correct I kinda love this shot*
Silas did give me a little bit of a look when I made him stop and wait for me to take photos of a wedding dress designer store in Edinburgh the next day. I couldn't help it- they were so pretty in the windows and I was still in the wedding mindset. Caroline Castigliano makes some beautiful gowns.
Another dinner at The Granary- this time we sat by the fire place and had leather club chairs... such a great atmosphere- and my husband provides a good view too ;)
Our very cute little rental car... Silas looks like a giant in it plus it's strange because not only do you drive on the other side of the road in the UK the driver is on the other side of the car- thankfully the gas and break are still in the same place.
Everywhere we went we saw "To Let" signs- which means "for rent" but the first time we saw one we were laughing because it looks like they just forgot the 'I' in toilet.
We took our little rental car up to St. Andrews and spent some time walking about the St. Andrews Castle ruins as well as the old Abbey and the town itself which is so cute!!! Silas's favorite thing about the castle was the mine. During a siege of this castle the attackers dug a mine to try to get under the walls of the castle, well the occupants of the castle figured out their plan and dug a counter mine to intercept them. The coolest thing is that you can actually walk down into to mine still. I was surprised at how "at your own risk" things in Scotland were. They didn't seem to mind sending people down into a cold, dark, stone cave that you almost have to belly crawl through. Once we were over at the Abbey we were so supposed that you could walk anywhere, no restrictions to paths or anything.
I'm hoping to find this cider somewhere in the states... it's from Sweden and it's delicious!
It's just amazing how old things in Scotland are. We think about a house from the 1700's being old here in New England and this church tower is from the 12th century.
After 5 wonderful days with Edinburgh as our home base we took off in our little rental car and headed north west to the Isle of Skye. On our way I wanted to stop in Fort Williams to take the Harry Potter Train (the actual train they used in filming the journey to Hogwarts). Plus even though Silas isn't a huge HP fan like I am you get some great views, a fun train ride and we got to spend a little time in this awesome little fishing town of Mallaig. Which is were we had the best lunch and possibly meal of our whole trip (sweet and sour shrimp, scallops with some cream sauce that was heaven and monkfish with a red pepper relish- ugh my mouth is watering just thinking about it).
I'd say this house is a little out in the middle of no where for my taste but talk about a peaceful setting.
This photo kind of sucks as I got part of the train window in the frame but I just loved the old church- I wish I had been able to stop and get a good shot but sadly I was not in charge of the train- so this is what ya get.
These beaches are known for their "silver sand". Looks almost tropical.
On the trip back I was able to get a good HP shot ;)
LOOK it's Loch Ness :)
We did not see Nessy but Loch Ness is absolutely beautiful!!! We did however see two girls trying to swim in the loch... and trust me it was COLD they didn't last too long.
Another Loch along the drive up to Skye.There are waterfalls EVERYWHERE- every hill side you look at you see these little white wiggly lines... all waterfalls. This is Eilean Donan Castle which is one of the most photographed castles in Scotland, which might have to do with is' beautiful setting, you know that jutting out into a Loch with the stone bridge...
This is the view from our hotel for the night up in Stein which is in the north of Skye. This little town has about 4 buildings. The food at the Stein Inn (which is the oldest Inn on the Isle) was wonderful, it was the only place that we had a king size bed, we had to close the curtains to sleep because it was still twilight at 10:45pm and while driving the one lane road up to the town we saw a Sea Eagle which was really cool- sadly no photos of him.Thats the whole town of Stein- quaint don't you think?
Don't worry there are still two more full days of photos to share!!! XOXO Spring

Every funeral, regardless the type, starts with an arrangement meeting between the family and the funeral director. These meetings usually take place within 24-36 hours of the death of a loved one and can be a very overwhelming and daunting task for the family members. Sometimes, the thought of making even the smallest decisions can feel mentally painful. Funeral directors are trained specifically do help families through this and will gently guide them through the process. People deal with and handle death very differently and funeral directors are adept at following the specific leads of the families they serve. Some are numb, some are distraught, some know exactly what they want, some don't. Personally, I am a planner. In times of stress, chaos and grief, the way I cope is by planning, making checklists, helping and basically doing anything I can to feel a sense of control. If you are like me, today's episode of The Silva Lining and this post will help. I've put together some guidelines and a layout of what to expect while arranging a funeral and ways to prepare.
What to bring to the arrangement meeting:
- Vital Information/Paperwork: Funeral directors, besides planning and directing funeral services, also file the legal death certificate, notify Social Security and help format the obituary. They can also help you process claims for insurance policies, pensions, annuities and notify unions - so any paperwork you may have pertaining these will be a good thing to bring. Information needed is: Social Security number, date of birth, dress, highest level of education, parents names (including mother's maiden name) and the city/state or country where the parents were born). Also, if the deceased is a veteran, a copy of the discharge paper (DD-214) will be needed to notify the VA, apply for a U.S. flag and for military honors to be rendered.
- Clothing: If it is possible, without being to stressful, to gather the clothing together before the arrangement meeting. What the deceased wears is completely up to the family and sometimes even, the deceased will have chosen their own clothes before they died. Most people don't think of it, but undergarments are important to bring in as well. Shoes are completely optional. Since nobody will usually see the deceased's feet, I tell most families that they can bring in the deceased's favorite pair of shoes or slippers - even if they don't match the clothing. As for jewelry, the deceased can be displayed with any jewelry the family prefers and the family can let the funeral home which items should be saved and returned.
- Picture: A nice picture of the deceased is a very essential item to bring. It can be used for the obituary, custom prayer cards and also to help the hairdresser and embalmer to make them look the most like themselves. Things like how a woman parts her hair, styles it and where her part is, are details that mean the most. The same can be said for men, in terms of how they styled their hair, the type of facial hair they preferred, etc.
During the arrangement meeting, the funeral services and merchandise will be chosen, the director will coordinate with clergy/celebrant and cemetery/crematory, help formulate the obituary and tend to any details the family may request. Financially, the funeral as a whole is made up of three parts: Services, Merchandise and Cash Advances.
To help families choose the services, the funeral director will present a General Price List. This list is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission so that all funeral homes will utilize this format, allowing their services to be clearly explained and itemized. Before this regulation was in place, funeral homes would generally package their services, leaving consumers unaware of how all the individual services would make up the final cost, therefore leaving them to just blindly trust that they were receiving fair prices and/or discounts.
CLICK HERE to view a sample General Price List
As long as all services are itemized on the price lists, funeral homes may then also offer discounted packages of their services based on an incentive of their choosing. For example, if a casket is purchased from the funeral home, these discounted packages are available to select from.
Merchandise sold by funeral homes could include caskets, outer burial containers, urns, clothing, prayer cards, acknowledgement cards, register book, rosaries and more. Some of these items can be included in the funeral service packages, at the discretion of the funeral home.
Cash Advances are specific prices for services of others which the funeral home may be asked to coordinate for the family, such as grave opening fees, crematory costs, clergy offerings, newspaper notices, permit fees, certified copies of death record, etc.
The other point I brought up on today's show was what to do when someone you love is close to dying. We as a funeral home, always express to families that in this time of impending need, the most important thing to focus on for families is spending time with their loved one. A phone call in these situations can go a long way to answer questions, gain an idea of the family's wishes for the funeral home and help the family think about what they will need to gather/organize when the time comes. Since actual funeral plans (like coordinating timing with church cemetery, etc.) can't be made in the days/weeks prior to death, we would feel horrible if we pulled you away from your family to discuss these things and you weren't there when they needed you. Especially with email, there are many options for coordinating with the funeral home while still attending to the needs of your loved one.
Please feel free to comment here with any questions or email me privately at firstname.lastname@example.com

Adult Art classes
Feeling a bit shy about starting an art class? Don't be. Everybody has to start somewhere and the art groups are small, social and supportive.
No experience is necessary. All you need is the desire to give it a go. With Steve's special teaching technique, you can be enjoying drawing and painting in no time.
Steve's classes are equally suitable for beginners or experienced art-makers. The aim is to help each student to find their own creative voice, style and subjects while receiving a strong grounding in the techniques of visual art-making.
The art classes are designed to stimulate imagination creativity and art skills, while having fun experimenting with a range of art mediums and materials in a relaxed but stimulating social environment.
Price includes most art materials and supper/morning tea. You don't need to bring anything to class apart from yourself.
Regular weekly art classes run throughout the year with a short christmas break.
Teaching is individually focused, so you can join any time, learn at your own pace and attend to suit your schedule.
Located at the historic Branxton Inn, we have purpose-designed studios and scenic pleine air spaces for artmaking.
Branxton is a convenient 30mins from Newcastle via the expressway and easily accessable from all points in the Lower Hunter.
Relaxing, friendly and genuinely creative art learning.We foster your creativity and personal style as well as very effective skills development. Definitely not your ordinary art classes.
Adult Classes:

Cost per session: Adults: $39 Pensioners, retirees, students,other concessions :$35 School age children: $24
– Private art tuition and mentoring as single sessions or on a regular basis.
– Small group weekend workshops.
– Art, Wellness and Creativity workshops:
Through innovative "Art, Wellness and Creativity" workshops, Steve uses movement and music to teach people the physical language of visual self-expression. You learn how to access your creative thinking ability and most importantly, to rediscover the simple joy of drawing (you had it once as a child!).
The workshops are accessible to everyone regardless of artistic experience. It is a resilience building process. Relaxation exercises, meditation, focusing techniques and playfulness are all essential parts of the workshops. The now very popular idea of mindfulness is at the centre of art-making and Steve has developed a simple method for accessing it.
The immediate positive therapeutic effects start with relaxation and de-stressing through gentle physical activity, music and the experience of "losing oneself" in the moment as well as the social support of a positive shared group experience. More benefits come with the development of a personal expressive language and the satisfaction in achievement as skills grow.
For people whose self-image is under stress and whose life is undergoing major challenges, art experiences that are properly and thoughtfully presented can have great benefits. Importantly, it is not necessary to be "gifted" to enjoy the experience.
Contact Steve on 0412 560 594 to talk about what you are seeking from art classes – he'll be able to direct you to the right option.

About JessaLu
Making a Quality Product with Quality Materials
In early August 2008 I attended a fiber retreat in upstate NY. I brought along a few bags I had made for friends and everyone at the retreat loved them. They insisted that I needed to sell these bags, that they were some of the best box bags they had ever seen. I was a little doubtful - after all, these were my friends telling me this and friends can be a bit biased ;o) - but I opened the shop anyway and here I am, 4 years later, still making bags on the same 1935 Singer 15-91 in the same room in the same 18th century house in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.
I love old things, I'm an historian at heart, so I use an antique machine and live in an antique house. My fabric, however, is always new, always pre-washed and always ready to be made into a bag that will be loved by its recipient.
I hope you can find something to love in my shop that will keep your knitting cozy, thanks for stopping by!
Shop members
Owner, Designer, Maker, Purveyor Of Project Bags
I am a huge fabric geek who started making bags to justify all my fabric purchases - now I love that I can offer geeky bags to my fellow SciFi geeks as well as the non-geeky knitters & crocheters out there
Roger aka 'My Other Half'

Roger is my husband and my go-to guy whenever something breaks or needs to be carried ;o)
Shop policies
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
Please pay amount due immediately upon purchase using Paypal. If you can't pay immediately, please be sure to pay or contact me regarding payment within one business day. Thank you!
If you do not like to pay with Paypal, I suggest you go to my url: www.stitchedbyjessalu.com to purchase. There are more payment options available, including Amazon Payments and secured credit card options.
International (including Canada) orders will be shipped via First Class Mail. I feel International Priority Mail is too expensive and, unfortunately, does not offer reliable tracking. However, if you wish to pay for International Priority, I am happy to send it that way. Please convo me prior to paying for your order and I will adjust it accordingly. At this time, the cost is $12 to Canada, $14 to all other countries.
If you wish your international order to be tracked outside of the US, the USPS offers Global Express Guaranteed service. For one bag, the cost is $32 (that is my cost with no markup). If you wish to have your bag shipped this way, please convo me and I will put up a reserved listing for your bag with this shipping cost.
Thanks for understanding!
Additional policies and FAQs
I live in Massachusetts (Eastern US Time Zone) and I have found that I need to step away from the computer/email from time to time so I don't get burned out and decide to stop making bags. If you send me an email or convo after 6pm or on a Sunday, please don't be upset if you don't hear back from me until the next business day.
If you have some fabric that you'd love to be made into a bag or a skein of sock yarn that you'd love to have made into socks please convo me and we'll discuss it! (please note that custom requests are for fabric only - I cannot take requests for custom bag designs at this time and if I do not have the fabric in stock this will add significantly to the delivery estimate)

Darktrace, the Cambridge-based company applying AI to cybersecurity, has raised £58 million ($75m) in a Series D round led by Insight Venture Partners, and backed by existing investors Summit Partners, KKR, and TenEleven Ventures.
The round brings the company's valuation up to £640 million ($825m.)
The company, a brainchild of Cambridge researchers, uses machine learning to detect cyberthreats in real time, using an "immune system" approach.
That means that Darktrace's unsupervised machine learning algorithms learn over time what the normal functioning of a certain digital infrastructure is, thus becoming able to spot any anomaly as it arises.
In this way, Draktrace's tech does not need to be updated with the latest information about emerging cyberthreats in order to discover and halt them.
Founded in 2013, the company has already risen to global prominence, with 24 offices around the world.
Darktrace CEO Nicole Eagan commented on the round: "Insight Venture Partners has a proven record of partnering with tech-focused firms, and its backing of Darktrace is another strong validation of the fundamental and differentiated technology that the Enterprise Immune System represents," she said.
"It marks another critical milestone for the company as we experience unprecedented growth in the US market and are rapidly expanding across Latin America and Asia Pacific in particular, as organizations are increasingly turning to our AI approach to enhance their resilience to cyber attackers."
Insight Venture Partners managing director Jeff Horing said in a statement: "In just four years, Darktrace has established itself as a world leader in AI-powered security. Insight is proud to partner with Darktrace to continue to drive its strong growth and superior product market fit."

The political storm s were just beginning to calm off. Then the Ugandan state visit came. I saw on television the two heads of state toss wine glasses at a state dinner. It was Cheers! Cheers! And more cheers. Behind the smiles of cheers was some unfolding sugary deal.
The deal was there or rather will be there one day perhaps after the political noise is long overdue. It started with Adam and Eve_Not me. The Ugandan head of state said they have surplus sugar. He talked of the Kenyan government needing sugar but avoided the topic of a reached Sugar deal agreement. As he concluded, he asked the Kenyan opposition government to back off the 'sugar agreement' Then came the minister who stated with conviction that Uganda in the first place does not have any surplus sugar and further more they were not aware of any sugar business deal signed with Kenya.
Our president came back home gleaming with happiness 'with a basket full of goodies from Uganda' He talked of an agreement for Uganda to supply Kenya with surplus Sugar in the coming years. No sooner was the point home than his ministers stood taller than him to 'correct' or was it 'reiterate'. As per the ministers, there was some discussions on some trade deals between Kenya and Uganda as per a regional trade requirement but no sugar deal agreement was signed per see.
He who laughs last laughs loudest. The opposition came from the blues finally stating categorically a myriad of reasons as to why it is wrong for Jubilee Administration to purport to import to import sugar from Sugar-deficient Uganda. allegations were made of some conspiracy to import cheap sugar from Brazil through Uganda to dump it on Kenyan Market. In the midst of the story, I heard someone mention "we will boycott Brookside milk products" Am not sure but I guess milk is a key ingredient for tea just as sugar. Its how it comes into equation but specifity to 'Brookside' someone please help complete the dots…
Am here. To laugh after the last. Here am representing the innocent public who have to hear countless versions of the same story over and over again and wait to see another cash cow thrown to the dogs. When bulls fight, the grass bears the pinch. Nothing is sure here but the hurting reality is some one is lying. All the way from the Presidents, their ministers, to the opposition leaders. I don't know who but someone is lying. That is a fact you can take to the bank. Back to basics, have you ever heard of the politics of the ostrich? Burrying the head in the sand in the advent of calamity to assume its gone and all is well. That's exactly what the government is doing by resorting to 'importing 'instead of producing sugar. Yet ours is a society reliant on Agriculture as a key backbone of the economy. A suitable and sustainable solution would be concerted effort to revive our sugar factories to empower their capacity to scale down the deficit. This has ripple effects in stabilizing the economy alongside job creation. My conclusion thus; this deal is no sugary at all. In fact its all salty. Someone pass some sugar please?

When my boyfriend and I signed up for the SYB Nicaragua trip, we didn't really think about who else was going to be on the trip.
We both are very active NY'ers who workout 6-7 times per week and the idea of an active vacation including early morning wake ups for beach boot camp, surfing and sunset yoga led by one of our favorite fitness instructors seemed like the perfect way to start the New Year together.
As the trip approached, it dawned on us that we might be the only couple on the trip and that we may or may not be a part of singles trip with a low guy to girl ratio. We had no idea what to expect but regardless we were going for the workouts, to surf, to meet some new people and chill out.
With all judgement behind us, we arrived in Nicaragua and quickly came to realize that we were 1 of 2 couples and that there was a pretty even ratio of dudes to chicks. Not a bad start.
I consider myself an outgoing person as is my boyfriend, so being friendly is a non-issue. We both quickly found ourselves having conversations separately from one another and making friends with everyone together & separately. Being a couple on a predominantly singles trip could have been challenging - but we thrived in it actually. We loved competing against each other in boot camp games on the beach & motivating each other to push harder or run faster when we were doing individual relays. It was fun seeing the competitive nature come out in both of us and made us appreciate and trust each other more as the week went on.
A few times that week, it may have crossed my mind that I may have wanted some alone time with my dude but the people we were with made being with everyone together enjoyable. We had some small moments to ourselves to just enjoy a sunset or check out the waves but not once was I upset about getting woken up at 630am by Mantas and Jenn to Kanye West.
As we looked back on the week, we both agreed that this trip could have gone south real quick if we weren't already confident in our relationship. Instead, those 6 days of making incredible bonds with complete strangers, helped to solidify that feeling. I realized that back in our real life in NYC we had a divide in our life with "his friends" and "my friends" but now we have "our friends" and we have SYB to thank for that.
I am so grateful to everyone at SYB for starting my year off on such an amazing note & cant wait to go on another adventure.

Immigration Investigator Harbors Undocumented Girlfriend
A top investigator in the internal affairs office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services has been convicted of harboring an illegal immigrant who was his girlfriend. The investigator, Lloyd W. Miner, 49, of Centreville, was convicted by a jury at the federal courthouse in Alexandria. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. His girlfriend, originally from Mongolia, was also convicted of conspiracy to commit identification fraud. At the time of his arrest this year, Mr. Miner was the assistant chief of internal affairs investigations for Citizenship and Immigration Services, part of the Department of Homeland Security.
You know an immigration system is broken when it's own employees can't find legal paths for their significant others.

What was he arrested for? Just for letting her live with him?

Huh. I wasn't aware that Virginia had a harboring law like Oklahoma. Does it? I've seen a lot from VA, but not that one.
While I feel sorry for his girlfriend, it disturbs me when immigration officials turn out to be in relationships with immigrants. It requires a twisted mine to spend all day deporting people, and then coming back home to your SO who is in the same situation. I also don't understand the women who enter into these relationships. Maybe they think these guys will be more successful in helping them? I would be afraid they would turn me in if something went wrong in our relationship.
It's actually pretty widespread, too. Here's an article about cross-status relationships involving border control agents. It says something about it being on the level of white collar crime, so I think the problem may be not that he was 'harboring' her, in itself, but that he was harboring her AND he was an immigration official.
It really is messed up, though. Poor woman.

I think when immigration officials get involved with an undocumented immigrant, that is probably the worst thing that can happen. Mr. Miner, should of used better judgment, unless, he thought he could of gotten away with it.
- December 20, 2007 at 2:27 AM
wow, that is pretty sad. The immigration system is broke, I would face that reality later on myself.
- December 20, 2007 at 8:12 PM

It's illegal for government officials in charge of enforcing immigration laws (ICE, Border Patrol, USCIS )to harbor undocumented immigrants. Unless I'm mistaken, no such law exists except in Oklahoma and even there, there is no enforcement of the provision because 1/4 of the state would be guilty and many without even knowing it.

Charlie Gard's parents storm out of court
Two hours into the High Court hearing, questions from Judge Nicholas Francis prompted tensions to boil over. Charlie's mother, Connie Yates, accused Francis of misquoting her earlier statements about Charlie's quality of life. "We said he's not suffering and not in pain," Yates yelled. "If he was we wouldn't be up here fighting." Chris Gard then slammed his water cup down and the couple left the courtroom.

Jake and I thought it might be fun to start posting a new Q&A here on the blog. Introducing, Five Questions from New Friends, where new buddies can ask us whatever they want and we'll answer them here. We hope you enjoy it!
We met this hilarious English couple, Charlotte and James, in Luang Prabang, Laos, and caught up with them in Hanoi, Vietnam, and will hopefully see them again in Siem Reap, Cambodia! They had some fun questions to start us off!
1. What is your favorite animal that you have seen?
Noelle: Kitties! Kitties everywhere!
Jake: Big puffer fish while scuba diving.
2. What is the most awkward cultural faux pas that you have experienced? Noelle: Hmm, we honestly haven't really had any yet. We do a ton of research when it comes to how to eat things or how to respect temples, etc, before we get somewhere, and I think that has saved us a few times. But if I had to pick one thing, I would say the time we were eating fondue in Lauterbrunnen. We had no idea what to do with all of the accoutrements we were given (mushrooms, garlic, onions), so Jake asked our server what was the proper way to eat everything. Her answer is one of my favorite things I've ever heard someone say in a restaurant, "It's your food, sir, you can eat it however you like." We blushed, smiled, said thanks, and proceeded to devour the pot of cheese without much regard for manners.Jake: Nothing specific comes to mind personally, either because we try to be polite, informed, and aware as much as possible… or maybe because we just don't know we are doing something out of the norm! If I had to give an answer, no matter how bad, I guess I would say attending the alms ceremony that the monks do every morning. Just being there felt a little like we were intruding and should not have been there, even though many people do so.
3. What American food do you miss the most?
Noelle: I guess mine's not really American food, but food that we eat in America! Mexican food. Definitely Mexican food. I can't wait to hit up El Portal when we get back to LA in January!
Jake: Burritos from public market - our old local quick food spot…which has now been shut down anyway :(
4. What cultural things do you like about the country/area that you are currently in?
Noelle: Considering we're currently in Vietnam, this is a tough one. I'll focus on food culture (per the usual) - I love bun cha and the way it's served, all of the different pieces of the meal on different plates.
Jake: I like to see that the crazy style of driving works for the most part. It looks like chaos, but instead has its own rules that are different than our own.
5. When was the last time you had a solid poop?
Noelle: This morning! Woohoo!
Jake: 5 minutes ago

Claire Stevens Interior Design Studio
Balancing the requirements of a working office, with the desire for a relaxed space that is an extension of the home, was essential for our new studio. To refresh our tired and outdated office, we developed a contemporary design that flowed as a whole, yet contained separate spaces for the diverse needs of our practice. While the studio has character, its minimalism affords the opportunity for change when required. As the team spends so much of their week in the studio, it was vital that elements of 'the home' be present. A full kitchen was installed, not only for meal times, but for entertaining family, friends and clients. The addition of lounging areas, not to mention each team member's personal items and momentos, added further softness and homeliness.

A Modern Thanksgiving on Squam Lake
One of our favorite customers, Tom Murdough, sent us these photos of his Thanksgiving dinner at his family's beautiful place on Squam Lake. (See some more photos at MurdoughDesign.com.) The Heath Ceramics Coupe dinner plates and salad plates in birch and cereal bowls in matte brown sit on on Chilewich mats. Table linens are from Libeco Home. We love the setting's simplicity, particularly at a kid-friendly table, and how well the dinnerware fits with the architecture. It looks like the house works to pull the outside in, with an interior that reflects the home's beautiful, natural setting. The earthy, organic colors of the Heath and Libeco linen fit well within this landscape. I recently visited the Walter Gropius house in Lincoln, where they keep the table set for display with dinnerware once owned by Gropius, purchased at Design Research or designed by his Cambridge firm The Architects' Collaborative, and I think I'd rather sit at Murdough's table! Tom shared these comments. We always appreciate an architect's perspective.
Didriks product offerings reflect our architecture office's interest in functional modern design which prioritizes a craft oriented approach emphasizing materials and construction for informal living. As such, it is where I began my search for furnishings for the guesthouse we designed for my extended family.
The guesthouse was designed to respect and celebrate the wooded lakeside site and to serve as a place for relaxed gathering of family and friends. As such, we used natural and low-key materials that would create a warm and inviting interior environment and which would not visually distract from the serene setting or the gathering of family and friends.
We choose dining products that reinforced this concept, and which also celebrate the human interface of touch within the ritual of a family meal. Heath Ceramic place settings were appealing for their quiet and elegant form, for their subtle coloration and glazing, all which complement the architectural palette. Functionally, the sturdy stoneware works well for family use and cleans easily. Libeco's linens have a soft and nubby tactile feel. They are hearty to the touch and very durable but lay elegantly and informally on the table. Libeco's earthy neutrals complement the natural architectural material we used. Finally the Chilewich placemats are easy to clean, which is especially good for childrens use, and the woven textural quality offers just enough accent to the mix. Everything was thoughtfully designed, made well and are a joy to use, look at and clean. We expect to enjoy everything for a long time.

Two small research areas that were closed to rock lobster fishing, so that researchers could investigate the Centrostephanus urchin barrens that threaten much of Tasmania's rocky reef systems, are at risk of being opened to fishing even while they remain vital to the fight against the destruction of reef habitat and important fisheries.
Centrostephanus barrens currently represent the greatest threat to Tasmanian reefs and recreational abalone and rock lobster fishing.
About six years ago, two small areas of reef were closed to rock lobster fishing and stocked with large rock lobsters. The research areas at Elephant Rock, near St Helens, and at North Bay, on the Tasman peninsula, were set up so that the relationship between large rock lobsters, Centrostephanus rodgersii sea urchins and urchin barrens could be investigated. Large rock lobster, with a carapace length of 140mm or greater, are the only significant predator on large, barren-forming Centrostephanus rodgersii sea urchins.
Centrostephanus urchin barrens form when urchin population density increases to the point where most of the marine plants that normally cover shallow rock reefs, or invertebrate animals such as sponges on deeper reefs, are grazed so intensively that they disappear. Instead of being the base for rich habitats made up of beds of kelp or sponge gardens, rocky reefs become devoid of all life but filamentous algae and remnants of plants and invertebrates that have been lucky enough to avoid being eaten. In some Tasmanian locations this has happened to more than 90% of the reef habitat.
The barrens are not only an ecological disaster but a fisheries one as well. The habitat destruction means that abalone and rock lobster become too scarce to support either commercial or recreational fishing. It is not known what effects these barrens may have on other fisheries.
Much of Tasmania's rocky reef, particularly along the east and south-east coast, including the Tasman Peninsula and Bruny Island, appears to be at risk of turning into urchin barrens over the next 10 or 20 years, unless better management practices are adopted. Extensive barrens can form in shallow water down to at least 60m and include reefs that are especially important to recreational fishers and divers, as well as some elements of the commercial rock lobster and abalone fisheries.
Once a large Centrostephanus barren becomes established in Tasmanian waters, it is likely to remain in perpetuity, as there are no natural processes that will reverse this process.
While climate change has no doubt contributed to increasing numbers of Centrostephanus urchins and associated barrens, the main cause of this disaster is overfishing, which in many areas, has let very few rock lobster large enough to be capable of preying on the urchins. The two research areas have provided vital information on the relationship between rock lobster density and urchin barrens, which indicates that the best way to limit the expansion of barrens is likely to be to change management of the rock lobster fishery, to increase numbers of large rock lobsters.
It has taken something in the order of $3 million and years of effort to set up these research areas; if they were opened up to fishing, they would probably be impossible to replace as funding on the scale required would be unlikely under current and foreseeable economic conditions. For example, the Tasmanian Conservation Trust understands that a major source of fisheries research grant money in Australia, the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC), has ruled out funding more Centrostephanus urchin research in Tasmania.
It would also be impossible to replicate the time-series of data that has been collected, and might be collected in the future at the current research areas; new research areas would take many years to develop to the same state. The existing sites still continue to change and provide an ongoing opportunity to investigate the development of and potential control of Centrostephanus barrens, and the effectiveness of management measures over time; this would be impossible to replicate elsewhere in a reasonable time frame.
Centrostephanus barrens threaten reefs that are vital to recreational fishers and others. A much greater area of reef has already been lost to Centrostephanus barrens than is covered by these two small research areas. Much more reef habitat will be lost forever unless more effective management measures are developed.
When the areas were first closed the government made the commitment to close them for only three years. This was extended for a further three years. Their value as research tools has justified the closure extensions. Research scientists from IMAS (Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies) continue to support the ongoing closure of these areas. So if these research sites are so useful why is the Tasmanian Government considering opening them to fishing?
Some fishing interests would like access to the large rock lobsters in these areas, but that access is likely to be short-lived, before the rock lobster are fished out and the reefs in the research areas inevitably degenerate into just another series of urchin barrens.
The scientific reserves at Elephant Rock and North Bay should remain closed for as long as they might contribute to research, or at least until demonstrably successful measures have been identified to control the expansion of barrens. The size of the closed areas is insignificant compared to the area of reef that has already been permanently lost.These areas have taken too much time and money to set up, and continue to provide too much valuable scientific information for them to be opened up to fishing and quickly destroyed just so a small minority of fishers can catch a few rock lobsters.
The Tasmanian Conservation Trust has written to the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment to make the points outlined in this article, and ask that the research areas are retained. We have also been trying to secure a meeting with Primary Industries Minister Jeremy Rockliff to discuss this and other issues related to overfishing of rock lobsters and the destruction of Tasmania's reef habitat. We are waiting on a response.

Mothering 3 young kids put my plans on hold until... now!
|I haz the cute!
Charlee and I did our first official pet visitation last month to an assisted living facility. Some of you may remember that was the day we added cute and adorable Cotton, our 3 month old rabbit to the family.. You cannot help but smile when you look at Cotton with her one ear up, one ear down. I am told that she may stay like that. Here's hoping.
When I was visited last month, I mentioned that I had an adorable foster pup dog at home. And so it was that Meggie went on her very first pet therapy visit by request.
|Meggie is an excellent planter of kisses
I am often asked what it takes for a dog to be a therapy dog . Well training of course and there are agencies like Therapy dog Inc and Therapy Dog International as well as Delta Society who will certify and insure your dog if they pass their tests. There are also many places usually nursing home that are often very close to your home, that will welcome your well behaved dog. Some require a Canine Good Citizen Certificate from the AKC.
Not sure if your dog is welcome at a facility near you? Call and find out what is required.
There is a lot a dog needs to learn to be a therapy dog. To be clear, I am not advising that any one bring any dog anywhere with out any thought or training. Common sense must prevail and at minimum dogs cannot be fearful or aggressive. They must not jump up, know basic commands, and be proofed for the unexpected, like dropped trays and people grabbing at them. They MUST really like people.
To my surprise, Meggie was grabbed and held by her snout by several people.. She was a bit surprised, but tolerated it well, and of course I came to her rescue immediately. To be clear, Meggie is not a therapy dog at this time. She would need lots more training. Today Meggie was a visiting puppy and I micro managed her.
After our visit, she worked on chill while residents made their way to the dining room. She did excellent with walkers, wheelchairs and a variety of adoring new fans.
Meggie LOVES LOVES LOVES people and she may be a candidate for therapy dog. Time as well as her person will tell.
Meggie is a FABULOUS dog with an ever widening fan club. I am certain her family is just around the corner.
To view Meggie's Petfinder bio, please click here.
If you would like to join our pet therapy group, please let me know. Well behaved dogs welcome! Pet Therapy is an excellent venue for continuing canine education. If you know a venue in need of pet visitations, please let me know.

Longtime Skagit economic development director to retire
Here's a news release from Economic Development Association of Skagit County, announcing the retirement of Don Wick:
Don Wick has announced plans to retire from the Economic Development Association of Skagit County (EDASC). Wick has served the communities in Skagit County for nearly three decades at the helm of EDASC.

Countless lives have been changed, and many families have been impacted by the jobs that were created through his tireless efforts on behalf of this community. His dedication to Skagit County is unmatched."
In an announcement to EDASC employees and members of the Board of Directors, Wick said he plans to stay until a replacement is found which will most likely be mid-2015. Bentsen said, "While we will immediately begin the candidate search, we hope to keep Don at EDASC part time in some capacity."
"My decision to retire from EDASC was not taken lightly," Wick said. "It's been an incredibly rewarding experience, heightened by my association with so many outstanding partners who care deeply about Skagit County."
Wick joined EDASC in 1987, after spending 15 years in radio broadcasting as a news director, program director and station manager.
With 500 members, EDASC is one of the largest membership based Economic Development Association in WA State. EDASC provides relocation services for companies interested in bringing jobs to Skagit County, as well as networking events, workshops and confidential business counseling services.

Is the NFL Lockout Over Yet? Do I Care?
Thursday, the sports world was all abuzz that the NFL lockout would be over soon. The owners had approved the collective bargaining agreement. Now we were just were waiting on the players to do the same. Except they didn't. I could get into the whys and whynots, but that's not the point of this post.
I met the news with a big yawn. It's now Monday and it appears the lockout is all but over. I'm still not ready to drop to my knees in gratitude.
After last season ended and the lockout became official, so-called experts were wringing their hands, claiming that a portion of the season (or even the whole season) might be lost because of the dispute. I was never one of those people.
The NFL isn't in trouble. The league couldn't lose money if it tried. Football has replaced baseball as America's pastime. It is a nine billion dollar industry. Let me say that again. NINE BILLION DOLLARS. All the players and owners are fighting about is how much money each side receives, not whether there is money actually being made.
It would make both sides look extremely silly, selfish, and self-involved if the start of the season was delayed because millionaires and billionaires were fighting about money.
I know ESPN has 24 hours to fill, but the constant gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands perplexed and ultimately annoyed me. I would have been concerned only if the lockout lingered into mid-August. But I knew it wouldn't.
Besides, it's not like we were missing games and that's what I'm interested in. The only thing we fans missed out on were free agent signings (and we'll still have that - just in a compressed amount of time). I'm sure there are people who watch these moves with intense interest. I don't. Yes, I like to know who the Cowboys sign, but that takes at most 5 minutes in a day.
Call me when the games start.
I live in the season. I've always been this way. While this NFL mess was going on, I had the NBA (Yay, Mavericks!), baseball, tennis, and the Women's World Cup to focus on. I don't have a favorite sport, so I'm just as happy watching basketball or baseball as I am football.
Am I happy the lockout is about to be over? Yes, absolutely. But let's not pretend it's a miracle that the owners and players were able to come to an agreement on how to split money so they can all stay rich.

Will ODIN fenders fit my bike?
Our fenders are designed to fit most bikes. However, every bike is different and therefore we always recommend consulting with a professional bicycle repairman before ordering. When in doubt you can request the pattern paper via the 'Bespoke' page.
Are wooden fenders heavy?
ODIN fenders generally weigh between 150 en 250 grams. This is a bit more than plastic fenders and slightly less than stainless steel fenders.
Won't wooden fenders rot?
ODIN fenders are coated with 3 layers of water-resistant varnish. Also, wood is a natural product with excellent qualities for outdoor use. Look at wooden boats, for example. That being said, ODIN fenders will eventually wear and need maintenance just like any other part of your bicycle. On the internet you will find many useful resources on how to care for exterior wood. Lastly we recommend parking your bicycle in a dry place when you're not riding. This will not only benefit your fenders but the whole of your bike.
Will I look cooler on a bike that has ODIN fenders?
Oh yes.

'Original' Schindler's list to go under the hammer
London, Dec 27 (ANI): A memorabilia dealer has been allowed to sell off what according to him is the original copy of Schindler's list.
A judge in New York has allowed the auction of the 13-page document, which is claimed to be one of several original copies of the list of names compiled by German industrialist Oskar Schindler as he saved more than 1,000 Jews during the Holocaust.
Supreme Court Justice Louis York lifted a temporary ban on a plan to sell the list for more than 2 million dollars, reports the Telegraph.
An heir to Schindler's widow had sought to block the sale. (ANI)

Final plat review consists of two different, but equally important tasks. The first, a review of the legal documents and drawings which comprise the final plat and the second, verification that the physical elements of the project were constructed and corresponding documents were prepared. Legal documents include final plat boundary drawings, legal descriptions of separate tracts of land and easements, CC&R's, and as built drawings. Physical elements to be verified in the field include survey markers set at final lot corners, street monuments, and boundaries of easements and other tracts.
If the project is a "short" subdivision, final approval is usually administrative; specifically by authority of the Director of Planning. If your project is a "long" subdivision, final approval requires hearing by and approval of the City or County Council. After securing approval, the drawings will be sent to the County Assessor for tax segregations, gaining tax identification numbers for each new lot. When this is complete, the plat is routed to the County Auditor for final recording. Upon your receipt of these new tax parcel numbers, you have successfully completed your subdivision.

The goal of this drill is to get players a bit more comfortable along the wall and provides a situation you can use to teach them techniques on how to handle pucks along the wall. This station can be set up to use half of one of the zones. Pucks should be set behind the goal crease in the middle of the ice with the coach. If you are using both sides then two coaches can share the pucks and each will rim the puck to opposite sides. A tire or cone can be place inline with the dots at around the top of the circles. Players are lined up along the blue line with the first player inline with the dots. Player 1 will skate up around the tire towards the wall, open up to face the puck as it is rimmed around. The players should time it so they are skating up ice as they gather the puck. Encourage players to move their feet and keep their heads up as they gather the puck. Once they gather the puck they will make a pass to the next player in line, go around the tire, open up and call for the puck, then receive the puck back to take a shot on net.

Solid drill
I like any drill that involves digging a loose puck off the boards..it's akward to do. This is another drill we've had some sucess with this year.
Happy goalie would work best so players always have to look for rebound.

In the first article, we reviewed the research on Mindset and how it impacts the legal industry. So how can law firms reconcile the psychology of a Growth Mindset with the realities of their organization's business needs? Here are some ideas to start a conversation to help your firm move toward a Growth Mindset.
Start at the Top. Every organization's Mindset starts with its leaders; it's virtually impossible to change a Fixed Mindset culture when that culture is determined by Fixed Mindset leaders. Research shows that the most effective leaders (in terms of innovation and employee loyalty and engagement) are those who are willing to "walk the walk" by talking openly about Mindset and its corollaries: mistakes, failure, empowerment, and opportunities. If a firm's leadership can influence its other lawyers to understand, adopt, and show their support for a Growth Mindset, the firm as a whole can harness its talent more effectively.
Explicitly Teach a Growth Mindset. Explain the Growth Mindset – both the "what" and the "why," and the organization's commitment to it – to lawyers and staff. Research on university students has shown that as little as two 30-minute training sessions to explain the neurobiology (i.e., IQ is malleable, and the brain is like a muscle that grows stronger and builds better neural connections via practice and struggle) can significantly boost achievement, not to mention engagement [1]. Stanford University offers some excellent free online resources for teachers and parents - https://www.mindsetkit.org/ - imagine how these could be successfully translated into a law firm context. Firms could link Mindset training explicitly to initiatives promoting lawyer well-being and innovation, two concepts that have become priorities for the legal profession in recent years.
Hire Better. Dweck highlights the perils of prioritizing pedigree over potential, and of what she calls a "culture of genius" over a "culture of development" [2]. One of her key findings concerns the different hiring processes used by major league sports teams. All teams typically ask player candidates, "To what do your attribute your success?" The most successful teams value answers along the lines of "I practiced all the time" while the less successful teams accept answers along the lines of "I was born with this talent." Another finding is that job candidates who ended up being the most successful were those who were able to explain what they had learned or how they had grown from their challenges and failures. Using this information, law firms can teach their lawyers how to ask more effective interview questions so they can better determine whether a candidate has a Growth Mindset. By hiring more growth-oriented lawyers, law firms can not only reduce attrition, but can ultimately cultivate more of a Growth Mindset culture within their organizations.
Don't be a Superhero. One of the simplest ways to promote a Growth Mindset is for more senior lawyers to share their "war stories" of mistakes made and lessons learned. One thing my colleagues and I hear repeatedly from our coachees is that the more senior partners (and even the firm's leaders, as the case may be when we coach newer leaders) "don't remember what it's like" and that those people "never made mistakes." By debunking that myth and showing what was learned from those mistakes, new lawyers/leaders can more easily envision themselves as successful in those roles.
Invite "Dumb" Questions. The idea that there is no such thing as a dumb question is an organizational cliché. However, there is power in encouraging (and honoring) a "no question too foolish" policy. Undoubtedly some senior lawyers will hate this idea…but that's a subject for a different post. In the meantime, law firms can reward their senior lawyers who encourage and respond positively to questions. Firms might also consider offering a regular "No Dumb Questions" lunch where junior lawyers can ask all their questions in an educational and non-judgmental environment. (This obviously requires a "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…"-type pact and enforcement to the extent possible.)
Differentiate. "Differentiation" is a key component of progressive child education; good teachers know that not everyone learns in the same way so they teach material in multifaceted ways. Law firms can learn a lesson (pun intended) from teachers. All people – including lawyers - have different learning, processing, and communication styles. By fostering both self-awareness and awareness of these differences in individuals (for example, by using assessments and team workshops), law firms can gently dispel the myth that there is "one right way" to do things and that people who do otherwise are either "wrong" or less capable (i.e., a Fixed Mindset). As just one example, the gregarious rainmaking managing partner who views his more introverted colleagues poorly because they do not successfully navigate (or, in some cases, even attend) major networking events might change his perspective and observe more success if he were to appreciate their differences and encourage them to do BD-related activities that are more in keeping with their personalities. (For more on this topic, I recommend the excellent book, "Quiet," written by former corporate lawyer Susan Cain, about her experience as an introvert in a world dominated by extroverts.)
Manage the Partner Talent Pool with Voluntary Career Coaching. In my experience coaching lawyers through career transitions, once the door is cracked open for a lawyer to consider the possibility that he/she has viable career options besides law firm lawyer, that lawyer can be nudged out of his Fixed Mindset through coaching. At least three positive results often flow from this: (a) the lawyers who remain at the firm are the ones who want to be there, (b) "rightsizing" for the firm as inertia is set aside and lawyers who deep down want to move on, do so, and (3) more connected alumni who feel positively toward the firm for its role in facilitating professional fulfillment.
Build a Coaching Culture. The raison d'etre of coaching is to help people develop Growth Mindsets and then to take actions accordingly. Organizations with a "coaching culture" understand this. Law firms are increasingly embracing coaching as an important professional development tool and some are moving toward creating coaching cultures where partners and others are trained in basic coaching skills. The result is a more growth-oriented, less fear-driven, more intention-based culture that ultimately benefits both the organization and the people who work there.
Building a Growth Mindset legal organization won't happen overnight, but steps such as those listed above can set the wheels in motion.
[1] In one experiment, Dweck showed that workshops teaching students the neurobiology of Growth Mindset – that the brain is like a muscle that changes and strengthens with use -- created even greater improvement in academic performance than a study skills workshop of equivalent time. She concluded that because the students were not taught to think differently about their minds, they were not motivated to put the skills into practice.

Bike Fit
The most important aspect of your bike fit is how your body works with the bike and not the other way around. Conventional fits are rooted in getting the rider into predetermined angles regardless of output, efficiency or regard for comfort. We absolutely buck that paradigm.
An efficient and power-producing spin requires that your muscles fire in ideal sequences. Glutes are and always should be the primary mover of any multi-joint lower body movement. If the fit doesn't provide maximal ability for your hips to create force and your glutes to be accessed, you're missing out on precious watts.
By using surface-EMG technology during your bike fit, we can see precisely the order in which your cycling muscles fire. This leaves us with no doubt that you are in the fastest, strongest and most efficient position possible.
Cost: $150
