      <title>Meet author William Gibson with his latest Zero History (10 Sep 2010)</title>
      <description>The iconic visionary returns with his first new novel since the New York Times 
bestseller Spook Country. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hollis Henry worked for the global marketing 
magnate Hubertus Bigend once before. She never meant to repeat the experience. 
But she's broke, and Bigend never feels it's beneath him to use whatever power 
comes his way -- in this case, the power of money to bring Hollis onto his team 
again. Not that she knows what the "team" is up to, not at first. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Milgrim is even more thoroughly owned by Bigend. He's worth owning for 
his useful gift of seeming to disappear in almost any setting, and his Russian 
is perfectly idiomatic - so much so that he spoke Russian with his therapist, in 
the secret Swiss clinic where Bigend paid for him to be cured of the addiction 
that would have killed him. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Garreth has a passion for extreme sports. 
Most recently he jumped off the highest building in the world, opening his chute 
at the last moment, and he has a new thighbone made of rattan baked into bone, 
entirely experimental, to show for it. Garreth isn't owned by Bigend at all. 
Garreth has friends from whom he can call in the kinds of favors that a man like 
Bigend will find he needs, when things go unexpectedly sideways, in a world a 
man like Bigend is accustomed to controlling. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As when a Department of 
Defense contract for combat-wear turns out to be the gateway drug for arms 
dealers so shadowy that even Bigend, whose subtlety and power in the private 
sector would be hard to overstate, finds himself outmaneuvered and adrift in a 
seriously dangerous world. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;William Gibson lives in Vancouver, British 
Columbia. He is the author of Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive, 
Burning Chrome, Virtual Light, Idoru, All Tomorrow's Parties, and Pattern 
Recognition. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://keplers.com/event/william-gibson " target="_blank"&gt;At Kepler's on Friday, September 10, 7:00 p.m.&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance (12 Sep 2010)</title>
      <description>For 54 consecutive years, &lt;A href="http://www.hillsboroughconcours.org/index.php" target=_blank&gt;The Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance&lt;/A&gt; has built and maintained a proud tradition of honoring and celebrating excellence in automotive design and engineering. The passion of the Concours leadership and volunteers, pride of its entrants, and devotion of its attendees has earned Hillsborough the proud record as the longest continually running Concours in the world.&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1870"&gt;&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1871"&gt;The Hillsborough Concours offers a forum for passionate vintage car owners to showcase their prized vehicles, and to compete for respect and recognition for their commitment to preserving automotive authenticity. The Concours also aims to cultivate future generations of car enthusiasts by providing privileged access to some of the world’s most celebrated automobiles and by serving as a channel for inspiring and informative automotive knowledge and lore.&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1872"&gt;&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1873"&gt;While 2010 marks the centennial of the Town of Hillsborough, this year also serves as the debut of many “firsts” for the world’s longest continually running automotive showcase. This year, the Hillsborough Concours premieres at its new venue: the beautiful fairways of the Crystal Springs Golf Course. An exclusive group of 200 cars that meet the selection committee’s high standards of authenticity and excellence will be on display amidst a setting of lush green coastal foothills and the Crystal Springs Reservoir . The golf course is conveniently located immediately upon exiting the Black Mountain Road off-ramp of Highway 280 in Hillsborough.&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1874"&gt;&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1875"&gt;“100” is a significant and meaningful number for the Alfa Romeo marque, which also celebrates its centennial in 2010. Alfa Romeo will be one of this year’s two featured cars at the Concours and will be in good company with the North American iconic classic - The Ford Thunderbird. 2010 is the first year of the Hillsborough Concour’s unique dual-badge showcase, designed to present a broader array of exemplary vehicles varying in styles and eras. &lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1876"&gt;&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1877"&gt;Taking advantage of the Bay Area’s record of near-perfect early fall weather, the 2010 Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance also marks another first with a shift in calendar from May to September. This year’s event will take place on Sunday, September 12, and the Tour d’Elegance, a road-rally for Concours participants and car enthusiasts, will be held on Saturday, September 11.&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1878"&gt;&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1879"&gt;Capping the list of firsts in 2010, the Hillsborough Concours Foundation was established to significantly extend the philanthropic reach and impact of the organization. In addition to the Hillsborough Schools Foundation, proceeds from the Event and its associated activities will benefit Autism Speaks, a national charity with the goal to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders, and the 49ers Foundation, which supports development programs for underserved youth that keep them ‘Safe, on Track and In School.’&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1880"&gt;&lt;BR jQuery1283573144867="1881"&gt;Whether a veteran Concours entrant or a first time attendee, all will marvel at the timeless automotive designs whose aesthetics, innovative engineering, character and attention to detail make them as relevant today as they were when first introduced decades ago.</description>

      <title>A Different View of Pacifica: Opening Reception (16 Sep 2010)</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;A Different View of Pacifica is a collection of photographs from local 
artist David Handler. All the work has been shot with film, often using one of 
his many antique cameras, some of which date back to the 1920's.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;None of 
the work is digitally enhanced, the unique character of the photos is produced 
through selection of camera, film, and analogue processing techniques. The 
photographs have then been printed on canvas or fine art... paper, leaving them 
looking more like pieces of art, than simply photos.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Click | &lt;a href="http://www.agitf.com" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; | to visit A Grape in the Fog&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://pacificcoastfogfest.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Celebrate the Coast!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Fog Fest is a celebration of sun, sand, and surf that defines life on the 
coast. The Fest was created in 1986 to promote Pacifica and to celebrate our 
marvelous coastal climate. The last full weekend of September was chosen because 
historically the weather is unbeatable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Fog Fest kicks off Saturday 
morning at 10 am with the Discover Pacifica Parade and Marching Band 
Competition. Arts and Crafts booths, Food and Beverage booths and a variety of 
activities begin after the parade.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>Sponsored by &lt;a href="http://www.sancarlostogether.org" target="_blank"&gt;San Carlos Together&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;San
Carlos Together, Inc. is a non-profit, public benefit corporation
designed to support cultural, educational, recreational and
neighborhood improvement programs and projects in the City of San
Carlos.&lt;br&gt;

Incorporated in 2009, the mission of San Carlos Together (SCT) is to
focus on community-building activities as a call to action by the San
Carlos City Council in 2005, which approved the “Enhancing the City of
Good Living Initiative.”&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                &lt;p class="paragraph_style_4"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                &lt;p class="paragraph_style_5" xml:lang="--multilingual" lang="--multilingual"&gt;Focus on Community&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                &lt;p class="paragraph_style_3" xml:lang="--multilingual" lang="--multilingual"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Encouraged by the level of volunteerism we enjoy in San Carlos today, SCT aspires to contribute to our &lt;span class="style_1"&gt;city of good living&lt;/span&gt;
by facilitating alliances between the wealth of volunteers and
activities that support our community. We believe that we can
streamline the coordination of activities, and the people interested in
them by creating the right atmosphere for people and possibilities to
come together. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                &lt;p class="paragraph_style_3" xml:lang="--multilingual" lang="--multilingual"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                &lt;p class="paragraph_style_3" xml:lang="--multilingual" lang="--multilingual"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Whether you like to garden, tutor, sew costumes or clear trails, if you
can give an hour, a day or a week of your time, SCT would like to match
you up with the activities you love to do. SCT is in the process of
establishing a volunteer database&lt;span class="style_2"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; of
people who have expressed interest in helping with community projects.
A volunteer coordinator will maintain the computerized database and
notify residents as specific interests and opportunities become
available. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                &lt;p class="paragraph_style_3" xml:lang="--multilingual" lang="--multilingual"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                &lt;p class="paragraph_style_6"&gt;Interesting Activities&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                &lt;p class="paragraph_style_6"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span class="style_3"&gt;SCT
Has begun to establish relationships with our community not-for-profit
organizations in order to increase their visibility to you, and
facilitate their specific volunteer and fundraising needs. Please see
our projects and programs page for some current ideas. If you are
involved in a group that we might be interested in, please let us know.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;a href="http://www.olivefest.org/" target="_blank"&gt;The Arts &amp;amp; Olive Festival at Cañada College&lt;/a&gt; began in 
1998 as part of Cañada’s 30 year anniversary 
celebration to benefit student scholarships. The festival 
has since grown to be one of the largest scholarship fundraisers 
of the year providing much needed financial assistance to 
students. The celebration now brings together more than 70 
vendors consisting of some of the olive industry’s top 
experts to provide the community with olive education, olive 
and olive oil tasting, olive related products, and an abundance 
of quality art works and gifts. This year’s festival 
will also serve as a kick-off to the Cañada College 
Performing Arts Series, sponsored by the Associated Students 
of Cañada College, bringing some of the Bay Area’s 
most spectacular performers to the Peninsula.</description>

&lt;p style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Menlo Park&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;, Calif.&lt;/b&gt; undefined Menlo Park plays host to the 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;
 Annual Sidewalk Fine Arts and Crafts Fall Fest Friday, October 15 
through Sunday October 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This art-filled family 
event will give visitors the opportunity to browse and shop among the 
many one-of-a-kind creations perfect for home, office or gift giving 
displayed by a variety of talented artists. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: normal;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Taking place&lt;/span&gt; along Santa Cruz Avenue off El Camino Real, the &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Sidewalk Arts and Crafts Fall Fest&lt;/span&gt;
 is free to the public and features an exciting array of original works 
perfect for holiday shopping by more than 90 artists and craft makers 
including paintings, jewelry, photography, unique wood sculptures, 
clothing, accessories, toys and much more. All of the artists will be on
 hand to visit with patrons while some will be demonstrating their craft
 during the show. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: normal;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Among
 the artists presenting at this year’s show is Jocelyn Hastings of San 
Jose who creates soaps that are little works of art. Every handcrafted 
soap Jocelyn creates is made from natural ingredients and contains 
layers of soft pastel colors in an artful shape. The glycerin soaps are 
individually poured into vintage molds or specially designed soap molds.
 “Imagine a soap that looks good enough to eat,” she says. One of 
Jocelyn's unique lines has an old-fashioned dessert theme -- tarts, 
cakes, Jell-o and flans. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Beth
 Karpas of Mountain View makes huggable, one of a kind cloth dolls and 
puppets based on traditional folk and fairytale characters from around 
the globe.&amp;nbsp; Made of fine yarns and fabrics, the dolls and puppets are 
used for telling stories in a classroom, as gifts for young children, 
and gathered by collectors. Many of the dolls are reversible, such as a 
frog that turns over to reveal a prince, and a Cinderella that goes from
 rags to riches. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Yoshiko
 Nordin or Mountain View designs Kimono bags -- small bags made of silk,
 wool, and cotton. All of Yoshiko’s handmade creations incorporate a 
thoughtful combination of vintage Kimono and western fabrics adding to 
the character of each bag. Nordin’s Kimono bags are fully lined with 
inside pockets, making them appropriate for everyday use. “Years ago, 
Japanese wore Kimono in their everyday life,” said Yoshiko. “Kimono bags
 are designed with the same intention.”&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Additional artists participating in the 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; display: none;"&gt; AAA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt; Ann&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;ual Sidewalk Arts and Crafts Fall Fest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;
