RIVIERA San Diego SCENE Coverage of RSFCC Celebrity Poker Tournament, January 21st 2011

Really enjoyed coordinating this.
High Rollers
“THE PARTY Cards hit the table for the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center’s inaugural Celebrity Poker Tournament at the RSF Garden Club. THE PLAYERS Poker-faced guests, including MLB great Bret Boone and poker expert Richard Lederer, pulled up to the tables, but the title of “Champ of the Ranch” went to Michael Parziale of the night’s Pangea Group sponsors. THE SCENE Cocktails and live jazz flowed through the Vegas-style evening of No-Limit Texas Hold ’em. Novices were schooled at the beginners’ table while high rollers competed for big prizes like a weeklong getaway to Cabo. But lady luck was on everyone’s side: All guests received a swag bag valued at $1,400, with gift cards to local favorites like Martin Katz. BEST IN SHOW It was a lucky night for the RSF Community Center. The event raised more money for the organization’s mission to provide enrichment, recreation, and outreach in the community than their annual golf tournament. Well played! Photography by Tim King “

Artist Rendering of the Twelve Links of Interdependence
When artists illustrate the Twelve Links of Interdependent Co-Arising,
- they often draw a blind woman to represent ignorance;
- a man gathering fruit in the jungle or a potter at work to illustrate volitional actions;
- a restless monkey grasping this and that for consciousness;
- a boat to represent mind/body;
- a house with many windows for the six senses and their objects;
- a man and woman close to each other to represent contact;
- a man pierced by an arrow for feeling;
- a man drinking wine for craving or thirst;
- a man and a woman in sexual union or a man picking fruit from a tree to represent attachment or grasping;
- a pregnant woman for coming to be;
- a woman giving birth for birth;
- and an old woman leaning on a stick or a man carrying a corpse on his back or shoulder for old age and death.

"What drove me? I think most creative people want to express appreciation for being able to take advantage of the work that’s been done by others before us. I didn’t invent the language or mathematics I use. I make little of my own food, none of my own clothes. Everything I do depends on other members of our species and the shoulders that we stand on. And a lot of us want to contribute something back to our species and to add something to the flow. It’s about trying to express something in the only way most of us know how-because we can’t write Bob Dylan songs or Tom Stoppard plays. We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, to show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us, and to add something to that flow. That’s what has driven me.” -Steve Jobs biography (Legacy)"
