Black Lives Matter: Black young people are fighting for justice
Thursday, 04 June 2020 / Published in Blogs
Aiyana Stanley-Jones was 7 years old when she was shot by police in Detroit, USA while sleeping. Her life mattered. Tamir Rice was 12 when he was playing with a toy gun and was shot by police in Ohio, USA. His life mattered. João Pedro Matos Pinto was 14 when he was shot during a police raid in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. His life mattered. Seni Lewis was 23 when he voluntarily sought mental health support and was restrained by up to 11 police officers in London, UK for over 30 minutes he died. His life mattered. Anti-Black police brutality taking Black lives, including Black children and young people's lives, is a global pandemic that people have created, and have the power to stop.
At the British Youth Council, we unequivocally support the movement for Black lives, and are proud to see youth-led organising against anti-Black racism here in the UK, and around the world. Young people are, so often, at the helm of challenging injustice and fundamentally reimagining the systems and structures that not only allow, but create, these injustices. I wanted to share some of this transformative work with you – please read about their work and their visions for a different world, learn more about anti-Blackness, anti-racism, and what liberation for Black lives really means.
The 4Front Project, UK
The 4Front Project was founded by Temi Mwale in 2012 after her childhood friend, Marvin Henry, 17, was shot dead in October 2010. It is a member-led youth organisation empowering young people and communities to fight for justice, peace and freedom.
In seeking justice, the project mobilises those most affected by injustice, exposes structural injustice and builds transformative justice practices. Their work for peace advocates for approaches that increase safety, build community accountability and support members to heal, promoting radical self-care. And in moving towards freedom, the project builds pride in cultural identity, creates space to envision freedom and provides anti-oppression and liberation education.
Dream Defenders, USA
The Dream Defenders was founded in April 2012 after the tragic killing of 17-year old Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida. That Spring, young Black, Latinx, and Arab youth marched from Daytona Beach Florida to Sanford Florida where Trayvon Martin was killed. With that fire in their bellies, they then went back to their communities and campuses to organise.
Today, they continue to build power in their communities to advance a new vision they have for the state. Their agenda is called the Freedom Papers. Through it, they are advancing their vision of safety and security – away from policing, prisons, surveillance, punishment, deportation, and war – and towards healthcare, housing, jobs and movement for all.
Black Liberation Collective, Canada
This is a collective of Black students who are dedicated to transforming institutions of higher education through unity, coalition building, direct action and political education. They have three national demands which represent collective efforts by Black students to address widespread institutional inequity: firstly, at the minimum, Black students and Black faculty to be reflected by the national percentage of Black folk in the country, secondly, free tuition for Black and indigenous students, and, finally, a divestment from prisons and investment in communities.
They have created a prison divestment toolkit for campus organisers across Canada, which provides practical steps towards decarceration, reparation and liberation. These student-led efforts are crucial to addressing larger systemic issues, and serve as a catalyst to dismantle institutions that promote and engage in anti-Blackness.
These are but a few examples of youth-led efforts to end the global pandemic of anti-Black police brutality. I hope they inspire you to turn your rage and sadness for the deeply tragic loss of Black lives into action so that we can reimagine and change our world for the better. Because yesterday, today, and always, Black Lives Matter.

Welcome to our new website.
In memory of Caitlin Ronan. Rest in Peace.
Hello from Jo


I'm trying to start olvwm (OSS OpenWindows rewrite with virtual desktops support, ICCCM -compliant) on NetBSD8/amd64 and startx beings me back to wscons without any fatal error, not even a warning, nothing inside Xorg logs (just 'X server terminated successfully out of the blue', no apparent reason). At first it complained about glyph font and olcursor not having been found, which are abosulute requirements for olvwm to start...I easily worked the issue out by installing fonts/font-sun-misc and adding the /usr/pkg/share/fonts/misc path to xorg.conf.
Olvwm works shamelessly on FreeBSD/i386 and freshports reports that xview libs are i386 restricted.

Petrinja (Cyrillic: Петриња) is a village in the municipality of Kostajnica, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Geography
The territory of the settlement of Petrinja, as well as the territory of the town of Kostajnica, extends into two geographic-pedological zones: the alluvial plain and the hilly area. The area of the alluvial plain along the Una river forms the so-called Petrinja plain (in Serbian Petrinjsko Polje), which represents the highest quality soil of this settlement. In the Petrinja field, agricultural varieties such as corn, wheat are grown.

Settlement physiognomy
This settlement is a rural type settlement, which means that most of its inhabitants are engaged in some form of agricultural production. Due to the two types of land and geographical elements of the area, mixed agriculture is represented, namely by the animal husbandry and the crop farming. The settlement type is a compact settlement or a settlement with urban elements. The direction of the settlement is roughly east–west, and follow the direction of the main road Novi Grad - Kostajnica - Kozarska Dubica and the parallel local road, which runs through the settlement Petrinja. The distance to Kostajnica proper is 6.5 km. A typical form of housing in the settlement is a house with a yard. You can also see small houses of stones, bricks or wood.

History
There are several archeological sites in the Kostajnica municipality, of which the remains of the medieval fort "Drenovac" in Petrinja can be found in the settlement of Petrinja. This means that the settlement of Petrinja has existed autonomously since the Middle Ages. The site itself is not clearly marked, and no significant effort has been made to protect this area.

Education
On the territory of Petrinja there is an elementary school building, which operates within the central elementary school "Petar Mećava" in Kostajnica. The school educates pupils in the lower group of elementary education classes. The number of students ranges from 10 to 20 and teaching is conducted in the so-called combined classes.

Culture
Next to the Primary School building in the village of Petrinja, there is a community center, which serves as the main gathering place for locals, as well as for the other citizens of Kostajnica municipality and beyond.

With speculation intensifying, West Ham have released a statement regarding their search for a new manager.
David Moyes was released on Tuesday and instantly Rafa Benitez was one of three main candidates linked with replacing him.
Whilst Newcastle fans remain in fear of losing Rafa, if Mike Ashley doesn't change his ways, the idea that he could supposedly end up at West Ham is a thought beyond the comprehension of most NUFC supporters.
However, until Rafa Benitez signals any improvement in how he is being treated at St James Park, by signing an extended contract, nothing can be said for certain.
The bookies made Rafa third favourites on Wednesday, after Moyes left, however he has now come in from 8/1 to even money favourite ahead of Manuel Pellegrini and Paulo Fonseca.
Like Mike Ashley, the West Ham owners aren't shy of using the media to push their agenda, and Hammers Co-Chairman is surely up to mischief with his quotes in today's official statement.
The question is…if they have somebody definitely lined up, why is there any need to put this teaser out, unless of course the idea is to further unsettle things at another club, as well as placating their supporters?
When you talk about 'highest level', well at the moment Rafa Benitez is in the Premier League, whilst the other two main candidates are in China (Pellegrini) and the Ukraine (Fonseca).
Has won the Portuguese Cup with Braga and Ukrainian league and cup with Shakhtar Dontesk.
After managing in the likes of Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, he eventually came to Europe in 2004 and apart from winning the Premier League and League Cup at Man City, he has only won the Intertoto(!) back in 2004 at Villarreal.
He won two La Liga titles and UEFA Cup with Valencia.
Champions League and FA Cup with Liverpool.
FIFA Club World Cup with Inter Milan.
With success at the highest level as the supposed benchmark, Fonseca clearly wouldn't fit that description, Pellegrini could but only in that spell at Manchester City with one PL title in three years and more money to spend than any other club. Rafa Benitez clearly the most successful of the trio…unless David Sullivan has somebody else in mind, or of course, if it is simply more fantasy from him?
'West Ham United would like to assure supporters that the Board are extremely confident of appointing a high-calibre first-team manager, who has a proven record both in the Premier League and European football.
The Club expect to make an announcement within the next seven days, following a thorough and strategic process that has identified the best possible candidates.
"This is an exciting time for our football club.

Falkland Islands Expedition 2009 Successfully Completed
After paddling 22 days in strong winds and seas, New York City based sea kayaker Marcus Demuth has successfully completed the world first circumnavigation of the Falkland Islands. The goal of the expedition was to be the first kayaker to successfully circumnavigate the 776 Falkland Islands and to document and study the marine wild life of the fairly inaccessible outer Falkland Islands.
Previous attempts to circumnavigate the Falkland Islands include two separate British Special Forces teams and a US team of two kayakers, all ending unsuccessfully.
"It was a very hard trip with many challenges such as constant high winds, large kelp fields, and mine fields which sometimes made landings impossible for many miles," said Marcus. "During stages of the trip I had to kayak with 2 charts, a nautical chart and a mine chart, supplied by the British Forces, in order to avoid landing on beaches which still contained mines left from the Falkland War."
The Falkland Islands is an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean located 300 miles east of Cape Horn, 671 miles west of South Georgia and 584 miles north of Antarctica. Because of the Falklands' small population, harsh climate, and isolation, the majority of the islands are uninhabited and completely untouched by humans. The wildlife on the Falklands is especially spectacular on these fairly inaccessible outer islands (such as the Jason Islands), featuring penguin colonies, large sea lions up to 700 pounds, elephant seals up to 3.5 tons, pods of orcas, and aggressive fur seals.
Past sea kayaking expeditions have taken Marcus to Iceland (a country Marcus will revisit in 2009 for a second attempt to circumnavigate), Ireland, the South and West Coast of Australia, and Chile/Patagonia.

Brian and I watched this last night, sans Margarita (though we did have a lemonade with vodka. mmm. nothing to eat, though). We both really liked the movie. It had more twists and turns than route 56 into Bedford. I can't really get into the plot because I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but suffice it to say, it's not your average affair flick. It was quite entertaining, though I wouldn't call it great cinema. But, sometimes being entertained is enough. And, that was certainly the case last night.
I heard mixed reviews about Jennifer Aniston's performance in the movie, but I thought she did a pretty good job--particularly once the story line unraveled.

Grahm nails it for Sweden
Top goal-scorer is thriving, not just surviving
Published 30.03.2015 14:06 GMT+2 | Author Lucas Aykroyd

Four years ago, if someone told you Erika Grahm would be leading the 2015 IIHF World Women's Championship in scoring, it would have been hard to believe.
The Swedish player was taken ill in the summer of 2011, suffering from pain, tingling, headaches, and exhaustion. Her legs virtually stopped working. Sometimes, she found herself in bed for up to 22 hours a day. She lost feeling in one side of her face.
Doctors initially diagnosed Grahm with multiple sclerosis, but then a specialist correctly identified it as Guillain-Barre syndrome. This is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the nervous system. After spending a week hooked up to an IV unit in the hospital, she spent a month at home recovering before finally lacing up her skates again.
What would the future hold?
"She worked really hard after this sickness," said linemate Emma Nordin, who also plays with Grahm with Modo Hockey, a club in the northern Swedish town of Ornskoldsvik. "She deserves everything she has. She's getting better and better all the time."
It was tough for Grahm to regain her speed and strength, but she persevered with daily physical workouts and psychological coaching. And now she's thriving.
The 24-year-old forward is participating in her fourth Women's Worlds, and she also chipped in four assists in six games when she made her Olympic debut in Sochi.
In December, she put out a book called From Paralyzed to an Olympian. co-written with Olof Wigren and published by the Vasteras-based company Idrottsforlaget, it provides not only an inspirational look at her challenging road to recovery, but also an insider's view of women's hockey in Sweden.
Yet Grahm makes it clear that here in Malmo, she's not thinking about how many copies she can sell or where her next book signing might take place. "I don't think about my book now," she told IIHF.com. "I'm only focused on hockey and being a good player out there."
How good has she been? Her four goals so far in this tournament (including a hat trick against Japan) equal her entire output from her three previous Women's Worlds. If the host nation goes on to capture its first medal since 2007, she'll be a big reason why.
"She's been in a zone," said Swedish head coach Leif Boork. "She's scored a lot of goals in the league too. I am not surprised that she has scored so many goals here."
Grahm comes from a Modo club that's world-famous for producing NHL superstars like Markus Naslund, the Sedin twins, and Peter Forsberg, the current GM. While she admires Forsberg's style, and sees him regularly since she works in Modo's offices, she said her true inspiration for playing hockey came from a former Modo female player, Therese Sjolander.
In a nod to Grahm's hockey acumen, Swedish TV recently invited her to serve as a guest commentator for its broadcast of the Swedish women's hockey finals between AIK and Linkoping.
Away from the rink, Grahm likes to relax with the music of Swedish singer-songwriter Lars Winnerbeck, and watch her favourite TV series, like One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl. She enjoys golfing in the summer and spending time with her friends and family.
She cheerfully volunteers that she has some "girly" tendencies: "I do my nails and I have fake eyelashes. I like to be a girl outside the rink. I think it's fun. These are my World Championship nails. Can you see it?"
Fans can't see it when she's wearing hockey gloves, but her nails are painted blue and yellow, the Swedish colours. Last month, she says she painted them red in honour of Modo.
Grahm's fun, optimistic personality embodies a great message for young women everywhere: you can confront a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, overcome it, and feel the joy of life again.
And whether you're talking about her personal style or her goal-scoring ability, there's no doubt about one thing: Erika Grahm is absolutely nailing it for Sweden.

Lifetime Movies is rolling out its next Christmas-themed movie, The Christmas Pact, this weekend on Sunday. It's about two childhood friends, Sadie and Ben, who made a Christmas pact and are now adults trying to keep their relationship alive. Will Cupid finally strike? Find out if Sadie and Ben come together or go their different ways this Christmas!

The Christmas Pact Plot
Next-door neighbors and best friends Sadie (Kyla Pratt) and Ben (Jarod Joseph) are struggling to keep their childhood pact and the spirit of Christmas alive, even as "being grownups" threatens to derail them. Years ago, when Sadie and Ben were just eight years old, they planted a little three-foot-tall Christmas tree behind their church and made a pact.
They agreed to always to be friends and be there for each other, no matter how many obstacles came their way. But now that they're adults with their separate lives and careers, the pact is in danger of being broken. Their Christmas tree has grown into a tall, strapping tree, and their childhood love has also blossomed with time.
But can two best friends fall in love and make it work together? Sadie and Ben will have to recommit to each other and keep their special Christmas traditions alive. Will this year's Christmas bring them together for keeps? Will the incredible magic of Christmas bring the couple joy and love?

There is one item in every budget that cannot be eliminated. The infamous Grocery Bill. We can live without cable tv, Starbucks coffee, or even cell phones. But food is a must. Although we cannot completely cut food out of our budgets, we can find ways to lower grocery costs. In this blog post, learn how to cut your grocery bill by following 7 easy tips.
Aside from your mortgage, your biggest monthly expense is likely groceries. And unlike your mortgage, your car payment and most of the rest of your bills you actually have some control over how much you spend at the grocery store. Check out these super easy ways to reduce your grocery budget.
Use this grocery bill calculator to help you make your grocery budget.
I get it… cutting coupons isn't fun. I totally agree. However, new advances in technology have moved us into the age of digital coupons and cashback apps.
Most grocery stores have a smartphone app where they highlight their weekly specials. You will also find that these same stores have digital coupons. You simply add the coupons to your digital wallet within the app and they are available to you at the register. No coupon cutting required.
You can use Ibotta when you shop in stores like Walmart, Kroger, Food Lion, and Publix. It also works in non-grocery stores chains like Walgreen, CVS Pharmacy, Best Buy, iTunes, Groupon, Hotels.com, Booking.com, eBay and many more.
Keep a little notebook in your purse or keep a text document on your phone with the regular prices of the items you purchase frequently. Not only can you see if that "deal" really is a deal, you can also determine what kitchen staple is cheapest where and adjust your shopping accordingly.
Your price log will also come in handy when you browse through weekly grocery flyers. You can decide if a deal is worth driving to the store long before you step out of your door.
Most grocery stores have the same basic layout. The produce, dairy, and meat departments are located around the perimeter of the store. Canned, packaged, and junk foods are located on the isles. Shopping the perimeter of the grocery store will save you money and help you to eat healthier.
There are a few exceptions to this tip. Things like whole grains, beans, nuts, vinegar, and frozen fruits and vegetables are located in the center of the store. These items are great healthy and frugal food choices.
Most people assume that eating healthy is expensive. This is not true when it comes to purchasing groceries. There are a lot of food items that are both cheap and healthy. If you're wondering how to cut your grocery bill and still eat healthily, you can do this by purchasing frugal foods. Rice, oats, beans, frozen vegetables, and yogurt are just a few of the affordable healthy items to add to your grocery list.
You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much money you will save by eating at home and cooking your own healthy dishes.
I am notorious for seeing cool new items in the grocery store and wanting to buy it. If you are like me, this tip is for you. You'll be surprised how much you lower your grocery bill.
Give these tips a try and see if you don't start to see big savings on a weekly basis. Combining these tips will help you cut your food bill drastically. You may even be able to cut your grocery bill by 90%! What you do with all the extra money each month is up to you. Save up for a fun summer vacation, pay off those credit cards or start building your financial safety net.
Leave a comment and share your tips for cutting your grocery bill in half.
These are all great ways to keep grocery costs low! I've used a couple of cash back apps… my favorites are Ibotta and Ebates. Which ones do you recommend?
Hey Thomas, my top 3 cash back apps are Ibotta for groceries and Dosh and Ebates for everything else. Sometimes I even double up. Check out this post on Dosh. It's the easiest of all three to use.
My husband is the worst when it comes to impulse buys. I really need to get him to stick to a list!
Tracy, that is so me! There are just so many cool new things that I haven't tried. Lol I guess that's why I keep my boyfriend close by when shopping. He keeps me on the list.
Cutting down on my grocery bills is something I really need to start doing! Groceries are probably my biggest expense, and I'm really trying to save up!
Hey Lesley, give these tips a try and you'll start saving money in no time.
I'm so bad about shopping the perimeter, but I definitely need to start! I do use coupons and cashback apps though!
We are making a conscious effort to lower our grocery bill, shopping the perimeter really makes a huge difference. We also implemented a rule, we are not to purchase any of the items near checkout or in the line for our turn to pay! Not only are these items usually junk food, but they are definitely not items on our grocery list!
Lisa you are so right about the items close to the register. This is definitely a tip for the list.
Hey Vaishali! Give it a try and check out your savings.
I definitely agree with making a list before you go to the store and sticking to it. If I stick to the list, I know I will stay in my budget, but even one or two additions can ruin the whole thing. I also LOVE Ebates!
Hey Sarah, you are so right. Sticking to that list is key. If you like Ebates give Ibotta a try. Especially for groceries.
Great tips! Thank you so much for this. I wish I could get the hang of Ibotta. I feel like it's a little bit clunky and confusing, but I REALLY hate coupons. I really need to sit down and figure it out. Do you have a "how to" on Ibotta?
Hey Chandra, Ibotta does take a little getting use to. I don't currently have a how to on Ibotta but I can definitely write one. I'll keep you posted.
I would suggest starting with your staples and comparing the prices of name brands vs generics. You should also track the prices at one store vs another in your area.

Q: How to Control the Temperature of Heating element using its resistance In my test of a thin Film heater. I derived its Temperature coefficient of Resistance. This alpha number symbolizes the resistance change factor per degree of temperature change.
My question is, Is there any setup out there that can use the change in resistance at varying temperature to control the heater.
I am looking for a circuit that could do this. Measure the resistance of the operating heater and stop it at a set resistance.

@ MKeith,
I meant, just knowing the R does me no good if I cannot use it to keep the temperature at the point I want it to be.
I want to keep track of the increase in resistance (The resistance of our heaters increases at a certain rate with increase in temperature of the heater). So keeping this in mind, I want to then control the heater with the resistance.
Say I want the heater to stop at 100degC and the resistance will go from A to B at that temperature, I need ways to use this resistance B to control this heater. If I need the heater to go to another temperature, all I will do is adjust my setting to get this. Basically R is serving as temperature control instead of thermistors or RTDs.

A: The circuit is relatively simple.  It creates signals for the voltage across and the current thru the resistance.  These are then sampled by a microcontroller, that performs all the control loop functions.
It takes a divide of the voltage by the current, then a table lookup, to get the parameter you are trying to control.  That is very difficult and error prone to do in analog hardware, but not much of a problem with the right microcontroller.  You want to run the control loop 20-50 times faster than the first time constant of the heater.  You haven't said how big the heater is, but it's unlikely you need to go faster than 10 ms per iteration, even for a relatively small heater.  Even 1 ms per iteration is a very long time for a microcontroller.  For example, a dsPIC 33E can do 70,000 instructions in that time.  To put this in perspective, it only take 18 instructions to divide a 32 bit number by a 16 bit number.
The tricky part will be the analog circuit to deliver a good measure of effective voltage and current.  PWM is the obvious way to control the heater since it's efficient, but having full on/off pulses going into the heating element will make it difficult to take meaningful measurements.
If you're clever, you take the A/D readings synchronous to the PWM right before the pulse shuts off.  You grab the instantaneous voltage and current when the heating element is full on, then do the divide to get resistance and a lookup to get temperature.
If that sounds like it's beyond you, then it's probably better to filter the pulses before they get to the heater.  A inductor in series, then a large cap across the heater will smooth out the ripples, hopefully to the point where the averages are valid measurements.  In that case you want to run the PWM as fast as you can to get the desired resolution, like a few 100 kHz.  If you're doing the synchronous measurements, you want to run the PWM slower, like maybe just above the audible range.

A: Why not separate the heating and measurement functions?
You say you have an SSR PID controller, great. Now you need a circuit which will measure the temperature of the heating element, as an input to the PID controller.
If the resistance of the heating element is proportional to temperature, you should be able to measure it. Either while the heating current is on, by measuring the current and voltage (with a 4-wire resistance measuring setup to eliminate the leads) or when it's off, with a small current source that doesn't cause much heating.
In either case you'll want to do this with a microcontroller, not an all-analogue circuit. The microcontroller could store the calibration information about the R/T characteristics of each individual heater.
As an example of a similar problem and solution, I believe some soldering irons have/had two different metals for their power leads, forming a thermocouple right at the heating tip. The iron controller would read this thermocouple voltage between heating pulses and adjust the power accordingly. So only two wires for heating and sensing.

Pinot with the Pros
It's natural for a first timer to the fabled International Pinot Noir Celebration in McMinnville to feel overwhelmed. After all, there are more than 250 different wines to taste from France, Chile, New Zealand, Canada, Argentina, California and, of course, Oregon.
The bounty even surprises people who have attended past IPNC events. Some of the local producers, like Scott and Martha Wright of Scott Paul Wines, arrive to find that their long-ago-libraried wines are being poured with abandoned at twice-daily multi-course feasts.
Each year, featured wine producers donate cases of wine, and they're never sure when those cherished bottles might surface again. After 26 years, IPNC has accumulated a serious cache of prized Pinots that can be popped at any moment.
It could happen at the most exalted event of the three-day celebration, the Salmon Bake on Saturday night.
This is when weekend conference-goers, often numbering 800 or more, share tables with people coming for one night to dine under the oak trees on the Linfield College campus, drink unlimited Pinot Noir — some of it pricy and precious — and consume dishes and desserts created by the region's top chefs.
Also vying to attend IPNC are the West Coast's sharpest sommeliers, who apply to work for free, pouring wine they select from temperature-controlled vaults. They say there is no better way to taste so many versions of that fickle, flavorful grape that put Oregon on the map.
During the day, ticket-holders attend discussions by internationally recognized Pinot producers who then stay for the entire weekend because who would leave such a party in which vichyssoise and rabbit fricasse are served outdoors on fine china?
Participants also board buses to visit vineyards and are invited to ask serious questions of grapegrowers and winemakers.
Despite all the opportunities to feel intimidated, people who attend IPNC have a blast. That's because it's the ultimate Pinot party.
Consider this: Everyone can drink as much wine as they like at the breakfast-time seminars, triple-course lunches, afternoon wine-and-cheese tastings, late afternoon tastings and dinners of fire-roasted Chinook salmon, grilled bavette steak and grilled pork loin that continue under darken skies. It's not unusual for wine producers to also crack open a very special magnum and start sharing it.
Artisan food producers show up, too. During this year's IPNC, which was held July 27–29, days began with a breakfast spread of fruits, cured meats and pastries. Chef Katy Millard of Portland's Coquine Supper Club offered butter she made to go with fig-stuffed bread. In the afternoon, Kim and Tyler Malek, owners of Salt & Straw, Portland's "farm-to-cone" ice cream shop, were ready to serve sea salt-caramel high-butterfat ice cream.
To add to everyone's wine know-how, Kristen Young of Michael Mina's RN74 in Seattle showed guests how to chop off the head of a champagne bottle with a saber.
Another intimidation popper: As classy as the attendees are — after all, they are paying $975 to drink some of the world's finest red, whites and rosés paired with Dungeness crab and olive oil tea cake with hibiscus tea mousse and confit cherries — they have no hesitation in filling the spit buckets.
And finally: Winemakers and sommeliers know how to party more than any young rock star or fading movie star. For this year's Sunday Sparkling Finale brunch, sommeliers exchanged their tuxes for togas.
The fun factor is intentional. IPNC organizers don't want this annual event to feel like a closed club. First timers are contacted in advance by one of the featured wineries.
Brian and Jill O'Donnell of Belle Pente Vineyard & Winery in Carlton invited newcomers to join them at their lunch table on the first day. "We will be serving as your 'semi-official' hosts for the weekend," Brian O'Donnell wrote in an e-mail, "and are available to answer any questions and offer suggestions on how to get the most out of your IPNC experience."
The O'Donnells attended their first Sunday Walkabout event in 1992 and have participated as a featured winery or have hosted a vineyard tour since 2000.
"Each Oregon winery is assigned a handful of first-time attendees to make sure they feel welcome and get the most out of their experience," says Brian O'Donnell. "Feedback from first-time attendees over the years has indicated that they sometimes feel like guests at someone else's family reunion, and this is an attempt to mitigate that situation."
That starts at the top. Executive Director Amy Wesselman, co-owner of Westrey Wines, remembers her first IPNC in 1997.
"I had goosebumps as I walked across the stage and took my place among so many luminaries of the wine world," she says. "It is still an honor to be in their presence every year."
Does it ever get old for those who return year after year?
O'Donnell shakes his head. "It just gets better every year."
Next year's IPNC is scheduled for July 26–28. To receive the newsletter, visit www.ipnc.org.

Compatible with Campagnolo and Shimano triple road.
TA 74 PCD Zelito Triple Inner Road Chainring 24-30T is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 22.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ashleyTW from Great granny ring upgrade Used one of these to change out the inner ring on my 105 triple. Easy to fit and the lower tooth count makes a significant difference to the gear ratio for my local Kent hills. Had to adjust the front derailleur slightly to accomodate the new ring size, and have also fitted a DEDA Dog Fang to stop the chain falling off when changing from middle to inner. The step in ratios is quite pronounced, and not the smoothest in the world, but for hill climbing it is fantastic. Have used these small inners on 3 different bikes now, and love them!
Rated 5 out of 5 by GrannyRinger from Works well with 105 triple Used one of these (28 tooth) as a substitute for the inner 30 of a 105 triple (30/40/50) - works well. This is great as on the rear I can use 11-28 to get low gears and the 11 means I don't ever spin out with the 50. Gear changes are perfect.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisandro from Works great on Shimano Sora triple chainring Five minutes to set it up and works great. Shifting from 26t to 39 is flawless and even better than the original 30t shimano little ring. A great help for the hills, highly recommended.
Rated 5 out of 5 by bikeetouree from A New Ring For The Mountains This is replacement for an old Granny gear, the inner on a triple crank on the bicycle I take touring. I'm in the midst of refreshing this bike for future tours. I put this ring on the bike within 10 minutes of receiving it. It fits perfectly. The winter weather of snow & ice, is receding outside and real biking will soon start again! This part looks like it is 1st rate quality and will fulfill my expectations by helping me climb many mountains. This part may look like it costs more than some, but it pays to have a good drive-train on the bicycle - the chain, the crank, the gear cassette on the rear hub. A good drive-train gets one there faster, lasts longer, and allows one to enjoying life more along the way.
Would a 28t work fine for replacment on my Shimano 5703 30t setup without too much hassle ?
I have used this on an Ultegra triple crankset with no problems.
This has a 74 BCD and is suitable for use on 3/16 chains.
Would the 26T chainring be compatible with a 175mm Shimano Sora 30/39/50T crank set? Thanks.
Works with Shimano 105 (5703) 30/39/50 10 speed 11-27 cassette. Get LBS to tune it properly. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work! Worth a try perhaps.
Is this inner chainring for 9 speed?
I can confirm that this chain ring is compatible with a nine speed groupset. I hope this helps.
Sorry but all available sizes are listed.
Will this fit my campagnolo mirage triple chainset?
i believe they also have a PCD of 74mm but can you confirm?
I can confirm that this chainring should fit your chainset.
When do you expect these to be back in stock?
Is this inner ring compatible with 11 speed (triple)?
This is only suitable with 8/9/10 speed.
Hi I'm riding a Surly LHT and it's in need of some new chainrings. The crank is a Andel RSC6 BCD110/74mm (square tapered) with a setup of 26/36/48t I want to replace the chainrings with: TA 74 PCD Zelito Triple Inner Road Chainring 26T TA 110 PCD Zephyr Middle Road Chainring 36T TA 110 PCD Zephyr Outer Road Chainring 48T Can you foresee any issues? Thanks!
I can advise that you should have no issues using these chainrings.
Can I run this chainring on my shimano tiagra.
Have a shimano tiagra FC 4603 triple chainset 10 speed can I run this Zelito TA 74 PCD chainring. Cheers.
This would not be suitable. You require a chainring with a 130 PCD.

Jian Ghomeshi trial to begin in Toronto Monday
Fri., Jan. 29, 2016timer3 min. read
More than a year since the allegations against CBC broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi sent shock waves across Canada, his highly anticipated trial is set to begin in Toronto on Monday.
Ghomeshi — the former host of CBC radio's popular culture show "Q" — has pleaded not guilty to four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking.
The judge-alone trial, which is expected to last several weeks, involves three complainants and will be closely watched by many across the country.
The Toronto Star will have extensive daily coverage of the trial in Star Touch and on thestar.com, starting with a report Saturday from Kevin Donovan, who broke the story of the accusation against Ghomeshi.
"Radio is a very intimate medium and he was going into people's living rooms five days a week," said Marsha Barber, a journalism professor at Toronto's Ryerson University.
"He was very influential and he had a huge listenership. Anybody who listened to him regularly is going to feel that they have a stake in what happened."
The controversy around Ghomeshi surfaced on Oct. 24, 2014, when the CBC first said he was taking time off from his duties "to deal with some personal issues." Two days later, the public broadcaster said it had cut ties with the popular host.
MORE:Click here for a timeline of the Ghomeshi story
In a lengthy Facebook message posted on the same day, Ghomeshi said he'd been fired because of "a campaign of false allegations." He also said that while he engaged in "rough sex" and "adventurous forms of sex that included role-play, dominance and submission," he only participated in sexual practices that were "mutually agreed upon, consensual, and exciting for both partners."
In a separate Facebook post, he vowed to meet the allegations against him "directly."
Five days after he was fired from the CBC, Toronto police said they were investigating Ghomeshi after two women had come forward with complaints. On the same day, the CBC issued a memo to staff saying it had seen "graphic evidence" that Ghomeshi had caused physical harm to a woman.
One of the women who contacted police was Lucy DeCoutere, an actress on the TV show "Trailer Park Boys," who was the first to speak on the record about her alleged experiences with Ghomeshi.
DeCoutere — the only one of the complainants at Ghomeshi's trial who can be publicly identified — accused the 48-year-old of choking her "to the point she could not breathe" and slapping her "hard three times on the side of her head."
On Nov. 26, a month after he was fired from the CBC, Ghomeshi was charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking. He was released on $100,000 bail and was ordered to live with his mother.
Just over a month later, three new charges of sexual assault were laid against him. All the offences allegedly occurred between 2002 and 2008.
Two of the sexual assault charges were later dropped because the Crown said there was no reasonable prospect of conviction.
In addition to the charges he will stand trial for on Monday, Ghomeshi is facing a separate trial, set to begin in June, on one charge of sexual assault.
The intense level of scrutiny the case has drawn has led some to believe Ghomeshi's trial will showcase the strengths and weaknesses of the legal system when it comes to such allegations.
"This case could serve as encouragement for other women to come forward or it could end up reinforcing some problematic aspects of the process," said Janine Benedet, a law professor at the University of British Columbia.
Ghomeshi has hired Marie Henein as his defence lawyer.

Templaters do not have access to less/css right now and that's why they use a class like .mobile It's a replacement for their inability to use media queries to target mobile devices and to create responsive templates.
TheDJ added a project: Mobile.
Sadly T483 has stalled. It's a change that would require support of Parsing team as well as frontends standard group as from what I remember the RFC requested support of a <style> tag in wikitext.
@TheDJ What we would like to have here is actually not necessarily make template authors to come up with their media queries on their own in every new template, but exposing a simple set of queries, that we also support in core to them, correct?

CHILDREN'S CHARITY WELCOMES GOVERNMENT MONEY FOR COMMUNICATION SERVICES
Headlines: December 19th, 2008
A children's charity has welcomed news of 12 million pounds of Government investment in services for youngsters with speech, language and communication needs. Action for Children described an action plan unveiled by the Health Secretary Alan Johnson and Children's Secretary Ed Balls, as vital in helping vulnerable children communicate more effectively.
Clare Tickell, the charity's chief executive said, "We know from our work helping the most vulnerable children, especially those who are severely disabled, that effective communication skills are key to empowering young people and enabling them to reach their full potential."
The plan includes up to 1.5 million pounds in grants to the communication sector and a similar amount for a research into speech, language and communication needs over the next three years. A new Communication Council and Communication Champion will also be appointed early in the New Year to support the delivery of the plan and to advise on how to develop effective services.
Alan Johnson said he was determined to ensure all children got the help they needed to communicate effectively. "The ability to communicate effectively is essential to a child's education, health and wellbeing. I look forward to working with the Communication Council over the coming months to make this action plan a reality," he added.


Several sources have reported statistics that people are leaving the established churches. At first glance it may be assumed there is a falling away, or perhaps backsliding. Or even some who have slipped away from the faith. But further investigation reveals that some folks are just fed up with the sensationalist materialistic church systems of today and want something more intimate and a relationship more personal with Jesus Christ.
The church model we are accustomed to is a system run as an Institution, organization, or denomination. It is governed by a governing church board, a board of elders, or upon a Pastoral vision. Many expect the churches to run by Pastor authority. That is what we had excepted as tradition. Anything otherwise is considered apostasy by tradition.
However, the tradition we had been taught was based on a premise that the foundation of the faith is built upon the vision of the Pastor, or upon a board under the governing authority of a mother Church organization. Though according to scripture this is apostasy.
In scripture, the household of God is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the Chief cornerstone. And together the pieces, each of the members of the body, fitly frame together that grows unto a holy temple in the Lord. And it says that it is built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit (Ephesians 2:19-22).
So what does this mean? Well, in today's contemporary model, we see denominations that elect boards, hold meetings, and send off trained clergy to operate one of their facilities. In independent churches, the foundation is built upon a Pastor's vision. He signed papers filed to the State to be recognized as a clergy qualified to run an organization. The foundation is built from the Pastor down to the congregation who sees the building in the community and joins it. However, that does not follow the foundation built in Ephesians.
Let us look at the structure given in scripture.
So in this structure, the church is given functions to operate. All for the work of the ministry, edifying of the saints, and for the knowledge of the Son of God.
Several groups, such as baptist groups, teach the dispensation position that the Ephesians 4:11 functions, that we know as five-fold ministries, have been done away with. Of course with the exception of their traditional position of "Pastor." And some groups put all functions under the authority of one Pastor, who takes upon himself the role of all the other functions. Where is this scriptural? Why is it the "Pastor" who gets the attention of the star role? And how did we get a title out of the function of pastors as it is written for a plural position? Tradition has given the word pastor as a title. but it was not meant that in its original context.
The word pastor has been adopted from the Latin usage. That due to the requirement of the Institution to give an authority title. The Pope used it to designate his agents as clergy managing the individual Church congregations of the Catholic sect. The King of England designated agents with the title to manage authority over the individual congregations of the Protestant sects. Bother were State run positions. But today in a modern sense, we retain that title name for the one who has authority over the church organization. And that is also an entity of the State as many churches are required to file under a 501c3 organization status to receive benefits and avoid taxable requirements. But a recognized agent of the State nonetheless. Does this mean the pastor has no role? Of course not. But mind you, the term pastor has been used only to give perception of a position of authority for the system to work as a hierarchy.
The true function of pastors as written in scripture is correctly rendered in English as shepherds. The role of the pastors is not functioning today as it was in the first early church or what it was intended. The church assembly was based on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, not the Pastor's vision. As the five-fold functions operated, some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, THEN some shepherds (pastors) and teachers. The shepherds didn't "build it and they will come," the other functions are the foundation of the faith bringing people into the fold. And then those who are shepherds function to shepherd the sheep who are rounded up needing nurturing. The position is recognized as one having a heart to lay his life down for the sheep. And that is not one of governing authority OVER the church, nor is the church based around his vision, but it is one who goes down beneath the sheep to guide, nurtures, and matures as he protects them from wolves.
Does this mean Pastors should give up their authority and surrender their livelihood? The rich young ruler asked Jesus what it takes to follow Him. He had riches, he gave to the poor, he followed the law. Because he enjoyed his position and his wealth, Jesus told him the requirement would be selling everything he had to follow Him. But instead the rich young ruler walked away sad.
So what are pastors supposed to do if their whole life has been in this "occupation" and that is how they are supported? They have built an empire around this business occupation. And one has to admit it is a business. Pastors today will hear the message of this essay (perhaps squirming), but as it takes action to do it will dig their heels in the sand in resistance. The requirement to do right is costly for them. The Pastors have been tempted by the great Beast, the whore of Babylon, to operate as the State business, to partake in her fruit, and are trapped in the system. BUT truth is, if they see their woes and turn from the traditional counterfeit system, God will find a way for them to survive.
Jesus said there are only "few who enter." Are the faulty churches teaching the gospel? Some are leading others in a false security of salvation based on a single canned sinner's prayer to get the feather in their cap. Some have been teaching under a false premise. Some in a sensationalist gospel, in a promising gospel, in a mental imagery gospel, in a positive thinking and word of faith gospel, in a community gospel, in a tolerant gospel. They urge community members to attend their luxurious religious centers and pay their dues (tithes) to reward the officiate for their professionally polished message, as well as pay for necessary remodeling and expansion projects. Not to mention the paid staff. Is this the gospel?
Will Jesus look at it and show how impressed He is with what you built for Him? No, because He told us He isn't impressed with these designated facilities that we build with human hands.
[Act 7:48-51] 48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 49 Heaven [is] my throne, and earth [is] my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what [is] the place of my rest? 50 Hath not my hand made all these things? 51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers [did], so [do] ye.
He wants us to worship in spirit and in truth (John 4). These things we built make a name only for ourselves. And frankly are distractions to a real relationship with the Master Jesus Himself.
What if we break down the dividing walls as some suggest. "Breaking dividing walls" is a nice hope, but the truth is in order to do that it will take more than converging and allowing integration between the groups. All the major institutions are built upon the faulty premise. They are still operating under the faulty church system. Breaking down the wall of one into another only merges two faulty institutions together, therefore does not accomplish what it intends. The system has to be broken and titles surrendered. Denominational associations need to be denounced, but that means doctrinal training revisited afresh. It is almost impossible. People will need to make a clean break spiritually from the whore system that has traditionally been built. Pastors will need to repent and retrain after the correct model as outlined in example from scriptures.
The current system cannot be "fixed." There is no putting new patches on old wine skin. You can't bandage what is faulty from the foundation. It is like rebuilding a tattered house that was build upon sand in the first place when the foundation is flimsy. This requires more than a "fixing." This requires a reformation into a "new" way that is to return to the original plan.
So what are those who seek this venture to do? Should they leave their church? Certainly they could seek out those also having this awakening, and arrange believer's meetings in a home or at someone's office, or perhaps in the park (on a nice day). A church is not an established institution with a clergy residing. The scriptures tell that when two or more gather in His name, He is in the midst (Matthew 18:20). To see the true definition of "church" see my article Upon This Rock I will Build My Church.
The pilgrimage is not necessarily a physical exile, though it likely may be. It is a spiritual and mental acknowledgment. To be IN the world but not OF the world applies the same to the church system. Many are being called out. Have you been called out of her?

Q: Isapi Rewrite : Remove filename from URL Im am trying to use the isapi rewrite tool on my web domain to write some basic rules, but am getting a bit confused.
My base url is http://forevr-dev.co.uk/musicexplained/index.cfm and every page on the site follows from this base url. For example http://forevr-dev.co.uk/musicexplained/index.cfm/artist/blondie would be the artist page for blondie..
What I am looking for, is a rewrite rule, that would remove the index.cfm from the url, instead leaving http://forevr-dev.co.uk/musicexplained/artist/blondie.
I have put the httpd.ini file in my musicexplained folder, under the root of my forevr-dev.co.uk domain, and I am using the following code below, which I used from the coldbox coldfusion framework application examples.
RewriteEngine On
RepeatLimit 0

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cfm/%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

However, when I now go to the new pretty url, I am recieving an error message saying that the page cannot be found, alongside a 404 message.
Any ideas?
Thanks

A: The thing is that you are talking about httpd.ini file (which is used in ISAPI_Rewrite v2) and the syntax above is for v3. So your version matters...
For v2 please try:
[ISAPI_Rewrite]
RewriteRule ^/(?!index\.cfm.*)(.*)$ index.cfm/$1 [I,L]

For v3 please try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .? index.cfm/%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

One thing San Francisco natives, residents and visitors can all agree on: Shopping in San Francisco is pretty damn cool. Whether you're a techie or fashion girl (or guy), hipster or hippie, soccer mom or buttoned-up 9-to-5er, there are plenty of stores to rock your wardrobe world. Indeed, SF's eclectic shopping neighborhoods are home to many clothing stores, jewelry stores, furniture stores, and vintage stores filled with lots of things you need. Our list of favorites, often worth checking out for their funky displays or standout design alone, focuses on indie boutiques and local brands. Certainly, there are many excellent department stores and chains in town, as well, but you probably know all about them. Now, get shopping—and don't forget that extra tote.

It all started with Michael Preysman's desire to create a great tee shirt in 2010. Fast-forward to today and the founder's SF brand has become a favorite IRL shopping destination where hipsters, moms and dads, creatives, and regular Joes and Janes of every age load up on quality basics. The digitally native retailer brings "radically transparent" pricing (and a neutral-leaning color palette) to life in its 3,000-square-foot flagship. It's clean, bright and airy—not a mannequin in sight. What you will find: expertly folded stacks of denim and cotton tees, beckoning cashmere sweaters, regiments of neatly arranged wrap dresses, and hoodies and sweatshirts lounging on minimalist wood displays. Plus, shoes, plenty of shoes, including ugly sneakers and ugly-chic flats. Long queues are known to pop up, mostly on weekends, but Everlane's integrated pay system allows for quick and seamless checkouts.

Cow Hollow
This much-loved San Francisco women's label recently settled into a beautiful permanent storefront in Cow Hollow. Located on boutique-laden Union Street the e-tailer's first brick-and-mortar is a treasure trove of effortless, unfussy and un-boring staples. It's the combination of sleek silhouettes and interesting details that's key to attracting fashionable, professional women—and the reason Modern Citizen routinely draws Zara comparisons. Shopping the uncluttered store is sure to be fruitful for those on the hunt for versatile pieces like LBDs, jumpsuits and blazers, as well as sweaters, bags and small leather goods. A smattering of home and beauty items, and a brilliant selection of jewelry, including MC's signature compass necklace, round out the lineup.

Lower Nob Hill
Onetime Vogue editor Emily Holt's fashion and lifestyle boutique is a beacon in the city's shopping scene. It's probably the only store that regularly draws Pacific Heights mamas and cool Hayes Valley types to its burgeoning Tenderloin hood. Equal parts industrial-cool and homey, the space carries a mix of women's clothing/accessories and lifestyle goodies. High and low brands, emerging and established labels, plus lots of locals designers are part of the mix, à la Adam Lippes, Tibi, Mother Edie Parker, Saint James, Stevie Howell, Culk, Future Glory and Levi's. Everything is chic. If you need more reasons to visit—the store serves as a general hangout and community space, plus Holt regularly holds interesting events and trunk shows. It's clear she still knows how to work those fashion-editor contacts. P.S. Holt recently opened up a second store in the Marin Country Mart in Larkspur.

Shopping, Menswear
No list of top San Francisco boutiques would be complete without this Castro stalwart. For a decade, it has been a go-to destination for style-conscious guys looking for casual-leaning pieces that are timeless and cool, not trendy. Founder Todd Barket is a stickler for keeping his store stocked with SF wardrobe essentials like plaid and chambray button-downs, jeans, striped tees, sweaters, hoodies, jackets and accessories. Most recently, he added a curated collection of athletic apparel from Fourlaps to the mix. The emphasis on brands known for craftsmanship and quality is the special sauce that distinguishes Unionmade from the crowd. Among the labels you'll find in heavy rotation: Golden Bear, Alex Mill, Carharttt Wip, Gitman Vintage, Harley of Scotland, Levi's Made & Crafted and Save Khaki.

Shopping, Designer
AB Fits
Denimheads have been visiting this bastion of men's and women's jeans for almost 30 years. Situated in its original, still charming, spot in North Beach, loyal shoppers come for the collection of blues, which very few stores could rival. Sure, you'll find familiar-ish labels like A.P.C., Raleigh Denim, Tellason, and DL1961 Premium Denim. But discovering obscure, high-quality brands from around the globe (Matias, Freenote Cloth, C.O.F. Studio and I and Me, etc.) is the really fun part. Along with the crazy-good jeans lineup, AB Fits owes its success to the guy who finds them…owner, denim genius and all-around nice guy Howard Gee. Make sure to check out the store's own AB Fits jeans, which make great souvenirs. Don't worry, you'll also find a smattering of equally stylish tops, jackets and accessories to wear with your fly jeans.
Welcome Stranger
Calling all urban-outdoorsy guys seeking timeless, well-designed basics: this one's for you. Home to vintage trunks, camping equipment and, yes, a stag head, the cavernous men's store is a delight to shop. And there's much to discover: ever-stylish denim, sportswear, and workwear from an array of American- and California-made labels, including Welcome Stranger's in-house collection of cotton tees, shirting, jackets, hoodies and chinos. The shop is also home to a unique selection of accessories, sunglasses, footwear and all manner of manly-man curios and gifts. ICYMI: Welcome Stranger is the sibling of nearby Azalea (411 Hayes St) that carries men's and women's clothing—and is also worth a whirl.

Shopping, Jewelry
Upper Haight
Synonymous with cool, edgy vintage, this thirty-something Haight Street store is a must-shop. Along with true vintage finds from the '60s to '90s, the cavernous space is rife with vintage-inspired clothing from the aughts to present-day. You'll see everything from denim jumpsuits and grungy plaid to awesome band tees and one-of-a-kinds, courtesy of contemporary and high-end brands. Serious shoppers could easily spend an afternoon flipping through racks, trying on shoes and reminiscing about the good old days (Summer of Love or 500 Days of Summer, perhaps?)

This Nob Hill boutique is worth a visit for ladies and gents who get weak-kneed at the prospect of high-end labels, like Chanel, Giorgio Armani and Gucci, at reasonable prices. (Department store brands are also available.) All the classic and contemporary dresses, shirts, suits and accessories—arranged by color— are in stellar condition. And since the clean, bright space is on the smallish side, poring through racks and ogling shelves doesn't feel overwhelming…even for not-a-fan-of-shopping-types. Fact: There are plenty of style scores to be had.
This cool retailer, located in a onetime firehouse (with a requisite fire pole), is a next-gen showroom that puts shopping-as-experience into practice on the daily. The high-ceilinged, warehouse-like shop is set up like a home, where opening dresser drawers, bouncing on a love seat, peeking in cabinets and chilling, supine, on a rug is 100 percent encouraged—and all part of the fun. Basically, everything is for sale, including the gorgeous furniture, home accessories, and more eye candy than you can imagine. The roster of local and international brands is refreshed often, when the always bright and magazine-spread-ready pad gets a whole new, ahem, batch of stuff.

Big Daddy's Antiques
Potrero Hill
This huge warehouse is a veritable wonderland for one-of-a-kind antiques, vintage and reproductions from around the globe. On any given day, the beloved Potrero Hill furniture spot, which also serves as a funky event space and go-to for prop stylists and interior designers, may turn up cozy-cool vintage leather love seats, industrial side tables, mix-and-match mid-century folding chairs, old-time signs (hello, loft dwellers) and quirky art and accessories; think pillows, steamer trunks and unique tabletop items. It's virtually impossible not to have fun while shopping for blasts from the past at this happy place.

Founded in Sausalito in 1948, the storied tile and ceramics company moved into a cavernous old linen supply and laundry facility in 2012 and has been a hub of design ever since. The working tile factory is also a wonderland of a gallery, showroom and store Shoppers and lookie-loos come for the famous, and minimalist dinnerware, and ceramics (Heath's signature bud vase is a go-to gift for locals), accessories and bags (courtesy of Heath Sews) and jewelry, as well as a smattering of books, children's items and kitchenwares from other like-minded design-y brands and local makers. Bonus points for the more recent addition of Heath Newsstand, stuffed with glossies, design mags, travel guides and other hard-to-find printed matter. Plus, when you get hungry, the connected Tartine Manufactory is right there to satisfy your morning bun and water-buffalo-milk ice cream fix.

Jay Jeffers
Local celeb designer Jay Jeffers' namesake Tendernob store is filled with an eclectic mix of luxury furnishing and finds, heavy on the glam factor. It's impossible not to be wowed by the beautiful space with money-is-no-object contemporary pieces and scene-stealers at every turn. Marble headboard beds and brass Ouija tables by (wh)Ore Haus and hand-stitched top-grain leather saddle chairs by AMKD mix it with up vintage and antique treasures. The truly unique home accents, decorative arts (resin skull with peacock feathers by Laurence Le Constant, anyone?) and gifts are pretty amazing, too.

This colorful Fillmore Street showroom is a welcome addition to Pacific Heights' prime shopping drag. The brick-and-mortar is instantly recognizable to fans of the digital-first Bay Area brand known for its size-inclusive vintage-inspired dresses, quirky prints and humorous graphic tees. The shop is stuffed with A-line skirts, fit-and-flare frocks and retro blouses. There's an especially fun assortment of candy-colored baubles, too. Authentic vintage lovers will be happy to learn that a curated selection of one-of-a-kind treasures inhabits a spot in the back—as does squeal-worthy wallpaper (mod kitties, magic mushrooms, and giant pencils) in the dressing rooms. One last thing to note: the shop functions like a showroom: you order items, which will be shipped (for free) directly to your home.
Shopping, Design and interiors
Calling all Francophiles: Get thee to this très charming Pacific Heights boutique, a treasure trove of fun and exotic things from around the globe. With a distinct Parisian feel, the medium-sized space is jam-packed with covetable items old and new. Think delicate jewelry and Old Word baubles, handmade quilts, colorful and printed pillows and throws, vintage-inspired glassware and home accessories, travel and fashion books, fine stationery and journals, sophisticated soaps, scents and candles, and more. The selection of European children's toys, books and games is stellar, as well. Not to mention, the store is magically merchandised and an ideal spot when shopping for something special for yourself or someone else is on the agenda. Ooh la la!
For years, Jenny Chung's jewelry boutique has been a go-to destination for both dainty ring stacks, edgier pieces and unique engagement rings (i.e. lots of diamonds and gemstones). In early 2019, the store moved to a bigger, brighter location on Polk Street. You'll find the same coveted designers—Anna Sheffield, Bing Bang, Vale, Adina Reyter, Bliss Lau, and No.3's house label. The selection of bracelets, necklaces and rings is sharply curated with prices ranging from affordable to sky's-the-limit. The customer service is super friendly and low-pressure—especially key for the soon-to-be betrothed on the hunt for the perfect symbols of their love.

Shopping, Shoes
Established in San Francisco in 2012, it didn't take long for this women's footwear brand to develop a cult-following among hill-schlepping cool girls looking for quality leather shoes (handcrafted in Spain) that are chic, comfortable and seriously versatile. The small artisanally designed Pacific Heights boutique, punctuated with all manner of décor dedicated to the label's patron saint Frida Kahlo, showcased the full label's full collection of modern loafers, oxfords, mules, booties and sneakers. Cofounders Megan Papay and Cristina Palomo-Nelson are known for their love of special events, pop-ups and experiences so you never know what you'll find when you visit—complimentary bouquets to DIY tie-dyeing.
Gawking window shoppers are routinely drawn into this strange but wonderful Mission mainstay, an eclectic den of plants, animalia, and oddities. A taxidermy unicorn stationed at the door greets folks as they enter the space with an off-kilter, mystical feel, inspired by the natural sciences. Anatomical posters and scientific illustrations adorn the walls, and lush plants hang overhead. Glass cases contain jewel-toned entomology specimens, small taxidermy (including tiny stuffed mice dressed as religious figures), fossils, earrings fashioned from butterfly wings, animal bones (red fox penis bone, anyone?) and pocketknives. An assortment of garden supplies, tools, hummingbird feeders and hanging planters are also found here, as is a peaceful landscaped courtyard in back where all the plants, including flowers, succulents, ferns and air plants, are for sale.
With its velvety midnight blue walls, teeny Metier is a sumptuous jewel box of a jewelry store overflowing with treasures. The shop artfully mingles estate and one-of-a-kind vintage brooches and pendants with modern pieces from designers like Gillian Conroy, Arielle de Pinto, Gabriella Kiss Kathleen Whitaker and more. The selection rends towards jewelry that is slightly unusual in its cut or style and quietly glamorous. The truly unique selection of wedding bands and engagement rings is fantastic. Prices range from modest to luxury.
This off-the-beaten-retail-path store is well worth the trek to the Outer Sunset, for Cali-centric home items, found objects, books and more. The neutral-colored dream space, oft photographed and 'grammed for its wondrous circular wood passageway, is stocked with everything from handmade ceramics to locally made planters, lovely kitchen linens and the like. You'll also find a selection of women's, men's and kids clothing (including really good vintage) and jewelry. Make sure to check out the lovely succulent-laden garden out back and breathe in the ocean air. Can't get enough? Check out General Store Home around the corner (3928 Irving St).

Barrick Gold Corp is back on top as Canada's best-performing stock and the world's most valuable gold company – by Danielle Bochove (Financial Post/Bloomberg News – January 29, 2016)
January 29, 2016 in Barrick Gold Corporation, Canada Mining, Canadian Media Resource Articles
http://business.financialpost.com/
Barrick Gold Corp. has surged to become Canada's best-performing stock as a two-month rally in the precious metal gives added lift to the company's turnaround efforts.
Barrick's shares are up 29 per cent this year in Toronto, making it the best-performing stock on the Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index. It's also overtaken its two biggest competitors, Goldcorp Inc. and Newmont Mining Corp., in market capitalization, allowing it to reclaim the title of the world's most valuable gold company.
"Guys like me, on the street, we had given Goldcorp the crown in the senior sector," Barry Allan, an analyst with Mackie Research Capital Corp., said by phone from Toronto. "And Barrick actually pulled some rabbits out of a hat. Not enough to get them to nirvana but they were seriously making some hard moves and some hard calls."
In the last year, those hard calls have included more than US$3-billion worth of asset sales and joint ventures as well as aggressive cost cuts. That helped the company achieve its target of cutting its US$13.1-billion debt by $3 billion in 2015. Longer term, the goal is to pare operations back to roughly a half-dozen core mines in the Americas that can withstand much lower gold prices than those seen today.
'Stupidly Cheap'
Allan says expectations were high for Goldcorp and low for Barrick when he took a long look at Barrick's stock in August.
