GRAND OPENING: 4 week series on Love, Sex & Dating Starting April 7 Every Sunday in April-April 7, 14, 21, 28 10:00-11:15am Century 12 Theatres 320 2nd Ave, San Mateo, CA 94401 Join us at our fun and informative four week series on Love, Sex & Dating that starts Sunday April 7, 10am-11:15am at the Century 12 Theatres in San Mateo. "When I meet the right person, everything will be all right", "sex is only physical", "relationships are like cars, you gotta try it before it buy it". These ways of thinking create trouble in our dating or married lives and set us up for trouble. In this message series, Pastor Beto will challenge us to think in some very counter-cultural ways about these issues, and present us with God's list of holistic behaviors that will lead to success in dating and marriage. Learn the new rules without having to watch a movie! The Message Church (650) 242-5919 www.themessage.cc http://www.themessage.cc/

BOB KILPATRICK IN CONCERT AT GRAND OPENING of the Message Church at Century 12 Theatres: The Message Church opens Easter Sunday, March 31st at 10am at its exciting --and innovative-- new location at Century 12 Theatres in downtown San Mateo. The first of two grand opening events has renowned singer/songwriter Bob Kilpatrick in concert. Bob has worked with top names in music like Sara Groves, Michael W. Smith, Lincoln Brewster, Anne Graham Lotz and Andrae Crouch. He has also produced other artists, working with Phil Keaggy, Randy Stonehill, Sara Groves and Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul & Mary). Still, most people were introduced to Bob’s ministry through his well-known worship compositions. The Message Church's new venue has received rave reviews during its soft-opening. "One of the hardest things about showing up at a church for the first time is feeing like an alien. The Century movie theater is great because it's a place we already go to all the time, so we feel right at home", says 25 year-old USF student Touré Clark, "Plus, it's downtown! There's plenty of parking, restaurants... it's great". The church also offers a nursery and children's class at an adjacent theater room. Century 12 Theatres 320 2nd Ave, San Mateo, CA 94401 Feel free to bring in your pop-corn, coffee and refreshments! Where else can you get all that?

Registration: http://jhtc.org/ We're all at least a little familiar with computer security, perhaps just from installing an anti-virus application on our home PC. Or maybe you've been one of the many unlucky people that has received a notification from one institution or another, letting you know that your personal information was stolen... (who hasn't at this point?) But, unless you live in the world of security full time, you may not have thought much about all the threats that are out there, and more importantly, how those threats are changing. The hackers are constantly searching for new ways to breach your systems, and this creates a need for new ways to protect information while raising the bar on what every organization needs to be doing to prevent an attack. Join us to hear from industry experts representing McAfee, Intel, and others, who will discuss: - A brief overview of computer security - Threats yesterday, today, and tomorrow - What you should be doing, at a minimum - The things you should be thinking about (and why!) - What this means for emerging companies, major players, and investors Participants Steve Orrin, Director of Security Architecture, Intel Slavik Markovich, CTO, McAfee Moderator Andy Feit, CEO, Enlocked Registration: http://jhtc.org/ Where Fenwick & West, 801 California St, Mt.

The "Next Big Thing" is here and it is Mobile Social Gaming - the ability to play games with other people using a mobile device like a smartphone or iPad. This is currently one of the hottest areas for VC investment. In less than 3 years, companies in this segment have grown to valuations of over $5 billion. What are the key factors driving this rapid growth? What are the trends to watch? And what can we learn from early adoption in other markets? At tonight's event, Ron Czerny, Founder and CEO of PlayPhone a key player in the industry, will discuss the market and ecosystem of social gaming for mobile devices. He will share success stories from other more advanced markets like Japan, and discuss the potential in North America and elsewhere. Ron's presentation will also highlight a case study of the PlayPhone Social Gaming Network application called "PlayPhone Orbit". PlayPhone Orbit will be the first true cross platform mobile social gaming network for smartphones globally. Ron Czerny, Founder and CEO of PlayPhone As founder, chief executive officer and board member, Ron Czerny serves as the visionary and driving force behind PlayPhone's corporate strategy.

¡SMACK! DINNER - Tomorrow Night! Tuesday, October 18th, 2011 7:00-p.m.-BACK TABLES' of Peter's Cafe #10 El Camino Real at Millbrae Avenue in Millbrae near SFO-S.F.Airport

**¡SMACK!** DINNER - Tonight! Tuesday, October 18th, 2011 7:00-p.m.-BACK TABLES' of Peter's Cafe #10 El Camino Real at Millbrae Avenue in Millbrae near SFO-S.F.Airport IMPORTANT: My 2 cents. Now that the Citadel has lost it's lease because the building owner fears that our life-styles may draw down the value of his property, and given the Power Exchange at 220 Jones Street only has two scheduled events each month, their long standing 3rd Saturday 'Fetish Ball', and the Men's once a month 'Spanking Parties' on Sunday afternoons and most nights PE really doesn't even get kicking until after Midnights why can't the Power Exchange share their space with the Citadel, until Phil and August can find something more permanent, like maybe with Kink.com at 14th & Mission Streets. It can even be a real win-win-win situation if Wicked Grounds could relocate into the old bar area of that former strip club at 220 Jones Street. Again, just my 2 cents, but perhaps food for thought. -- The Power of Positive Thinking - Success-YES!! -- Hey guys, text Mike, he only response to text messages. ;) Ok, I haven't been on-line much, after having held two garage sales here in Pacifica with another coming this weekend at 2366 Francisco Blvd. in Pacifica I have opened up a brand new store "PACIFIC PASSIONS at Barely Worn"" selling both new lines of sexy women's clothing and lingerie and well as having plenty of space for consignment of YOUR products including vintage and sexy clothing as well as other unique products found in upscale consignment store."PACIFIC PASSIONS at Barely Worn" is located at the site of the former "BEARLY WORN" consignment store which specialized on just children's and baby clothing right across the street from the Pacifica, California Post Office at 35 West Manor Drive between Palmetto and is right on the Esplande along side the beautiful Pacific Ocean, where sunsets are fantastic. We can even see the beautiful Pacific from our doors and large plate glass windows. I just got the keys a bare two weeks ago and starting to move in the next morning during my vacation. We had a "Lucky" Opening Preview on Columbus Day, October 10th, 2011 at exactly 10:10 am and stayed open until 10:10 pm that night. PACIFIC PASSIONS' new phone number contains lots of lucky 8's, 355-8888 in the 650-Area Code, (650) 355-8888, and the --OFFICIAL-- "GRAND OPENING" is set for 11:11 am on 11/11/11 and we will have live music in the street until 11:11 pm in conjunction with the Chi-Chat internet cafe and coffee shop right there on the corner of the Esplanade and Manor Drive at #5 W Manor Drive in Pacifica, right next to Former Pacific Mayor Sid Lorvon's office. We are open generally from 10am to 7pm EVERY DAY while we are setting up as it is difficult to keep people walking in the area from coming in and we get a lot of foot traffic here, I watch people every day make a bee-line from the Pacifica Post Office directly from their doors to our doors right across the street and we have lots of AMAZING THINGS inside that people love to come in browse and buy on the spot. Location-Location-Location is the key and we have the very best location on the sea, this Part of Pacifica is the undiscovered Pacifica to most people as this spot looks like a Pacific Coast Resort town. This is the area of Pacifica which has been featured on the news with the loss of two apartment buildings this year and last and where 10 homes were told down after they started falling into the ocean about 10 years ago, thus the views here of the Pacific Ocean are totally unobstructed. You have to check us out. We plan to make this a Success-YES!! To the Power of Positive Thinking. We are here to empower oursleves, empower our neighbors and Empower Pacifica! A new website will be enabled as early as tomorrow: http://www.PacificPassions.US, with pointers for Bearly Worn and Barely Worn, http://www.BearlyWorn.com and http://www.BarelyWorn.com to www.PacificPassions.US, we tried for www.PacificPassions.com, but right now that domain is in an on-line bidding war. Stay tuned, there will be video from G-Shots TV on YouTUBE http://www.YouTUBE.com/GShots very very soon. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Now for the regular ¡SMACK! DINNER Announcement. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>========================================== The **@¡SMACK!** DINNER, *aka* the **@Millbrae Munch**, for over 13-1/2 years and continuing our tradition of being the friendliest and I might well add, the must fun munch in the San Francisco Bay Area is again happening tomorow night, Tuesday October 14th from 7 to 9pm at Peter's Cafe, #10 El Camino Real at Millbrae Avenue, in Millbrae.

So you really can munch with us **free of charge**! Simply just show up and enjoy our company as we have been called "The 'Friendlies" Munch in the Bay Area. Simply pick up your tab on the main front counter after our waitress, Nancy, leaves us alone during our semi-private discussion period. Please do remember her and and other servers good, and their kind and prompt service to us for over 13 years there by tipping her and them well. Times are tough in the restaurant business these days and she and Cesar on the wait staff really do live off their tips. We are Public Transit Friendly too-YES!! How to Get to SMACK: With BART, Cal-Train and SAMTRANS stations located right behind the restaurant it is even easier to get to, but for those driving the restaurant has plenty of free parking and is prominently located right on the the North East Corner of El Camino Real and Millbrae Avenue in Millbrae just a short few blocks from either the 101-Bayshore or 280-Junipero Serra Freeways via the Millbrae Avenue. For verbal directions or to place an advance order with Peter's, like for one of their special Apple Pancakes please call Peter's directly via (650) 697-2434.

Unzip Your Genes: Jewish Genetic Awareness

fullcalendar — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:12:58 GMT

Location: Palo Alto

Thursday, April 28, 2011 - 7:00 PM

The Oshman Family JCC presents: Unzip Your Genes: Jewish Genetic Awareness Thursday, April 28, 7:00pm-9:00pm, Palo Alto MORE INFO: http://www.paloaltojcc.org/arts Because Ashkenazi Jews (Jews of Eastern European & Russian origin) have a significantly higher incidence for many genetic disorders than the general population, it's important for all Jews who intend to have children to understand the genetic implications. The Jewish community did a phenomenal job in educating themselves about Tay-Sachs and the advent of carrier testing in the 1970s and 80s. But somewhere along the way they forgot to continue that educational process as the list of "Jewish disorders" increased beyond previous understanding. Unzip Your Genes will combine a biology lesson, a genetics primer and a review of Jewish migration over the past 2000 years. The panel will explore the diagnosis, management and treatment of Ashkenazi Jewish genetic conditions with a focus on the most common disorder - Goucher Disease. Though lesser known than Tay-Sachs disease, Gaucher disease is two and half times more prevalent within the Ashkenazi population. PANELISTS Seymour Packman, PhD, Professor of Pediatrics at the UCSF School of Medicine. He directs the American Board of Medical Genetics Training Program at UCSF and is Director of the Biochemical Genetics Service of that Medical Center. Dr. Packman also serves as Director of the UCSF-Stanford Lysosomal Disease Center and the UCSF Neurometabolic Program and Clinics. Gary S. Frohlich, MS, a Certified Genetics Counselor & Patient Education Liaison for Genzyme Corporation. He lectures widely and has authored numerous articles on Goucher disease research, testing and prevention. In addition to understanding the medical aspects of Gaucher disease, Mr. Frohlich is an expert on how that disease and other disorders came to affect the Ashkenazi Jewish community. Rabbi David Booth Congregation Kol Emeth, Palo Alto Has a 14 year old son living with Gaucher's Disease Rachel Koff Genetic Counseling Student, CSU/UCSF Genetic Counseling Program Dessert, coffee and tea will be served. DATE/TIME: Thursday, April 28 7:00pm-9:00pm LOCATION: Oshman Family JCC, Conference Room F401 (4th floor above the theater) 3921 Fabian Way Palo Alto, CA, 94303 COST/REGISTRATION: $8 Members, Hadassah & Students; $12 Non-Members; $15 at the door, space permitting. http://www.paloaltojcc.org/arts MORE INFO: Website: http://www.paloaltojcc.org/arts Email: rsiegel@paloaltojcc.org Phone: 650-223-8605 Contact: Rebecca Y.

Thirty years ago the "Bay Area design" was not on anybody's map; today there are more design professionals working within a fifty-mile radius of where you are sitting than anywhere else on the planet. How did this happen? In this talk Barry will discuss the formation and transformation of a professional design practice, assess its current state, and perhaps offer a few speculations about its future trajectory. About the Speaker: Barry Katz is Professor of Humanities and Design at the California College of the Arts and Consulting Professor in the Design Division at Stanford University. He is the author of three books and has been editor of the Design Book Review; his essays on the history and philosophy of design have appeared in many academic, professional and popular journals including Design Issues, I.D. Magazine, Metropolis and Dwell. Barry is an IDEO fellow, an influential thinker and practitioner who contributes to its' culture of innovation. He is currently at work on a history of Silicon Valley design. Barry believes that there is no design problem that does not have its roots in history.

The Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden presents: The Evolution of the Gardens at Stanford Medical Center with Katsy Swan Sunday, March 20, 2:00pm-4:00pm, Palo Alto MORE INFO: http://www.gamblegarden.org The gardens at Stanford Medical Center are the spectacular result of two decades of collaboration between Katsy Swan and Helen Bing, who met while Katsy was doing the Hoover House gardens in the late '70's. The aesthetic goal is to create beautiful and contemplative spaces for patients, their families, and the hospital staff; the demands of building such gardens in and around a complex of industrial buildings places firm constraints on how this goal can be achieved. Katsy Swan will show us how these gardens came to be and will discuss the coming hospital expansion plans and their likely impact.

The Camellias at Gamble Garden with Barbara Tuffli

The Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden presents: The Camellias at Gamble Garden with Barbara Tuffli Thursday, March 3, 2:00pm-4:00pm, Palo Alto MORE INFO: http://www.gamblegarden.org The camellia collection at Gamble Garden began as the private passion of Miss Elizabeth Gamble and is now part of the West Coast Camellia Trail, sponsored by the American Camellia Society. As a part of our Heritage Plant Project, Gamble has acquired many of the original trees that have disappeared over the years, using old receipts carefully preserved by Miss Gamble. Join us as Barbara Tuffli talks about the history of camellias, how Miss Gamble acquired her plants in the early 20th century, and about the many more varieties we have today through hybridization. We will then walk through the gardens and visit the heritage plants, both original trees and recent historically accurate replacements. Barbara Tuffli is a nationally known lecturer and consultant on camellia history, culture and care. She coordinated the successful transfer of almost 300 mature camellias from a Woodside estate to the San Francisco Botanical Garden in 2005 and 2006. Barbara, a major collector of camellias in her own right, was the president of the American Camellia Society from 2007 - 2009, during which time she launched the Camellia Trail.
