The Russian Consulate General in Syria's largest city has suspended operations, according to Russia's state-run RIA Novosti news agency.
"The operations of the Russian Federation's Consulate General in Aleppo have been suspended," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, the news agency reported. "Regarding all issues, contact the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Damascus."
Russia has refused to support U.N. sanctions against Syria, its longtime ally.
Located in northwest Syria, Aleppo has been torn by months of fighting between government forces and rebel groups, who control much of the city, where electricity and food have been in short supply.
Two blasts at Aleppo University killed at least 82 people Tuesday, Syria's U.N. ambassador, Bashar Jaafari, told the U.N. Security Council. Another 162 students were wounded in the "cowardly terrorist act," he said.
Referring to the rebels, state-run media blamed "terrorists" for the explosions, which occurred on the first day of exams at the school.
But regime warplanes shelled the university, said Free Syria Army spokesman Abdulla Yasin. The rebels were nowhere near the campus, which is in a government-controlled area, he said.
In addition to housing students, the university dormitories -- which bore the brunt of Tuesday's attack -- are serving as temporary homes to families displaced by fighting in Aleppo, Homs and Hama.
Across Aleppo, 99 deaths were counted Tuesday, the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria said.
CNN cannot independently verify many claims from Syria, as the government has severely restricted access by international journalists.
Despite Moscow's announcement, another longtime Syrian ally predicted Tuesday that Damascus will emerge triumphant from the strife.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made that prediction in a meeting in Tehran with Syrian Prime Minister Wael Nader al-Halki, Iran's state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
"We pray that chaotic situation, which certain powers have imposed against Syria, will end by Syrian nation solidarity," the president said, IRNA reported.
The events came on the same day that a video was posted online showing what it says are two Syrian military officers begging President Bashar al-Assad to set up a prisoner swap to free them from their rebel captors.
In the video, the two men say they were abducted last October by the Free Syrian Army, a loosely organized group of Syrians who have been fighting for nearly two years to oust al-Assad.
"We were captured by FSA while we were armed, and we have been treated based on the International conventions," says Gen. Brig. Ahmed Raeidi, referring to international detention laws.
Raeidi and Staff Brigadier Hussein Allouch, an engineer from the Armored Vehicles Department, are shown beseeching al-Assad -- a fellow Alawite -- to help them.
"We have been pleading with the Syrian regime to consider our release and to arrange a prisoner swap in exchange (for) 50 innocent civilians, including women, but we haven't received any response from the Syrian authorities," Raeidi says.
The Syrian government has recently engaged in prisoner swaps.
Last week, 48 Iranians who had been held hostage by Syrian rebels for five months were freed in exchange for the release of more than 2,000 government prisoners.
"I urge you, Mr. President, are the Syrian officers considered to be nothing and less important than some Iranian citizens?" Raeidi said, his voice cracking, "Or (does) the foreign policy ... force us to remain victims and remain in captivity?"
He adds, "Thanks for listening."
The video is one of many on the Internet that purport to depict the war in Syria -- images that tell the world a story far different from the one the Syrian government allows international journalists to see during the occasional official visits that the regime allows.
Since the uprising began in March 2011, al-Assad has accused "terrorists" of causing the violence in Syria and has said his government has the right to fight back.
The FSA says al-Assad's government has oppressed the country for years and has slaughtered thousands of innocent Syrians in recent months to retain power.

I've been doing things that I know I would not be doing if my phone was sitting next to me, shiny screen beckoning.
Is anyone else alarmed by the way extended warranties are sold on just about anything and everything? It means one of two things – either someone has found a great way of getting consumers to part with more of their hard earned dollars or manufacturers have no faith in their own products. Neither of those options is particularly heartwarming.

Do you remember the good old days when kids were kids and there was never anything to worry about? Those days never really existed, but today there are issues kids worry about that weren't issues for some adults. They include fear of bullying, natural disasters, divorce, and violence.

Unfortunately, a map of the Middle East with no mention of Israel is nothing new… It is surprising however, that the world's largest publisher of children's literature, Scholastic Books, has joined in this trend.
About six months ago my parents and I started discussing ideas for a mitzvah project in honor of my bat mitzvah. I wanted to do something unique that would be meaningful to me and also do something that my friends could participate in. Immediately I thought of an organization called Sharsheret.

I personally think Crossroads is an excellent movie .

All the ones listed are great, but I was blown away by this one:
"In Search of Beethoven:
Not only is it a terrific exploration of Beethoven's life and musical history, there are incredible performances by many of the finest Beethoven interpreters/orchestras in the world, and interviews with the conductors and players as to why they're interpreting the music as they are.
It's really fascinating and wonderful.
Then again, it's hard to beat "Hard Day's Night."
The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.

Only one movie has Morris Day.
How can you not vote for this?
I recently watched The Buddy Holly Story and liked that a lot. I haven't seen Hard Day's Night, I'll have to check that out. Was never a Beatles guy growing up and didn't get into them til later.
There are a lot ... in addition to the above ...

How about Bird? Great flick. For those that dont know its Clint Eastwood as director with Forest Whitaker playing Charlie Parker.
Also, I think they did a great job with Ray.
I voted for Spinal Tap.
But only because "Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park" wasn't a choice.
"What do we want?" "Time machines!!!" "When do we want them?" "That's irrelevant!"
I really liked August Rush. It is worth it just for the bit where the orphan first plays a guitar, but there are a number of other excellent moments in it.

I'm going with This is Spinal Tap AND The Blues Brothers
Although "We're on a mission from God" is tough to beat...(I'll spare you the 106 miles to Chicago line), "A Hard Day's Night" gets my vote. I watch it several times a year.

Authenticity: what consumers really wantIn 1998, Pine & Gilmore identified "experiences" as economic offerings distinct from commodities, products, and services. In so doing, they launched an entire field of consulting in "experiential marketing" and "experience management."Since then, they have been studying how consumers determine the value of their paid-for experiences. One trait has risen to prominence: authenticity. How authentic is the experience? Is it what they expected? Why or why not? The authors introduce the concept of perceived authenticity, or how a consumer experiences a product, service, environment, communication, or person. Therefore, businesses must understand what it means to "render authenticity" in their consumer offerings and outreach, and they must learn to manage the process of, and excel at, rendering authenticity and behaving authentically. This book is arguably the first to provide some practical business advice and talking points for managers and marketers. |

We have enough yanks on there so I thought we could have our thread
And to start with a 1-0 over Italy!
Sure Italy had more chances, but we took ours and held on. Typical of US teams - no real strikers to speak of and the defense has lapses. But I was rather impressed with our ability to move the ball and hold onto possesion. We had Italian fans whistling at theirs a few times
Thankfully our chance fell to Dempsey - we don't have anyone else that can finish. For all our athleticism we sure have a hard time developing strikers. Altidore was MIA most of the match, as usual.

December 13-14, 2013, mid-evening until dawn, Geminids
Radiating from near the bright stars Castor and Pollux in the constellation Gemini the Twins, the Geminid meteor shower is one of the finest meteors showers visible in either the Northern or the Southern Hemisphere. The meteors are plentiful, rivaling the August Perseids, with perhaps 50 to 100 meteors per hour visible at the peak. Plus Geminid meteors are often bright, so, if there's a bright moon, many meteors may be able to overcome the harsh moonlight. These meteors are often as good in the evening as in the hours between midnight and dawn. In 2013, a bright waxing gibbous moon will interfere with the Geminids throughout most of the peak night. Your best bet is to watch on the mornings of December 13 and 14, from moonset until dawn.
Everything you need to know: Geminid meteor shower
Click the links below to learn more about meteor showers in 2013.
July 29-30, 2013 Delta Aquarids
November 4-5, 2013 South Taurids
November 11-12, 2013 North Taurids
Where to go to watch a meteor shower
Easily locate stars and constellations during any day and time with EarthSky's Planisphere.
January 3, 2013 before dawn, the Quadrantids
Although the Quadrantids can produce over 100 meteors per hour, the sharp peak of this shower tends to last only a few hours, and doesn't always come at an opportune time. In other words, you have to be in the right spot on Earth to view this meteor shower in all its splendor. The radiant point is in the part of the sky that used to be considered the constellation Quadrans Muralis the Mural Quadrant. You'll find this radiant near the famous Big Dipper asterism (chart here), in the north-northeastern sky after midnight and highest up before dawn. Because the radiant is fairly far to the north on the sky's dome, meteor numbers will be greater in the Northern Hemisphere. In 2013, watch in the wee hours – after midnight and before dawn – on January 3. Unfortunately, the bright waning gibbous moon lights up the early morning hours before dawn, the best time of night to watch for these meteors. If this year's forecast proves correct, western North America and the islands of the North Pacific Ocean might enjoy the most favorable location on the morning of January 3. From eastern and northern Asia, try after midnight and before dawn on January 4 as well, in case the peak comes later than expected. Remember, meteor showers are notorious for defying predictions. This shower is worth a try at northerly latitudes all around the globe. .
Everything you need to know: Quadrantid meteor shower
April 22, 2013 before dawn, the Lyrids
The Lyrid meteor shower – April's shooting stars – lasts from about April 16 to 25. Lyrid meteors tend to be bright and often leave trails. About 10-20 meteors per hour can be expected at their peak. Plus, the Lyrids are known for uncommon surges that can sometimes bring the rate up to 100 per hour. Those rare outbursts are not easy to predict, but they're one of the reasons the tantalizing Lyrids are worth checking out around their peak morning. The radiant for this shower is near the bright star Vega in the constellation Lyra (chart here), which rises in the northeast at about 10 p.m. on April evenings. In 2013, the peak morning is April 22, but you might also see meteors before and after that date. There's a bright waxing gibbous moon in the sky during the Lyrid peak. The greatest number of Lyrid meteors commonly fall in the dark hours just before dawn, so trying watching this meteor shower after moonset – in other words, shortly before dawn on April 22.

May 4-6, 2013 before dawn, the Eta Aquarids
This meteor shower has a relatively broad maximum – meaning you watch watch it for several days around the predicted peak. The radiant is near the star Eta in the constellation Aquarius the Water Bearer (click here for chart). The radiant comes over the eastern horizon at about 4 a.m. local time; that is the time at all locations across the globe. For that reason, the hour or two before dawn tends to offer the most Eta Aquarid meteors, no matter where you are on Earth. At northerly latitudes – like those in the northern U.S. and Canada, or northern Europe, for example – the meteor numbers are typically lower for this shower. In the southern half of the U.S., 10 to 20 meteors per hour might be visible in a dark sky. Farther south – for example, at latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere – the meteor numbers may increase dramatically, with perhaps two to three times more Eta Aquarid meteors streaking the southern skies. For the most part, the Eta Aquarids is a predawn shower. In 2013, the waning crescent moon should not intrude too greatly on the Eta Aquarid shower. The most meteors will probably rain down on May 5, in the dark hours before dawn. But watch on May 4 and 6 as well! The broad peak to this shower means that some meteors may fly in the dark hour before dawn for a few days before and after the predicted optimal date.

Late July and early August, 2013, the Delta Aquarids
Like the Eta Aquarids in May, the Delta Aquarid meteor shower in July favors the Southern Hemisphere and tropical latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. The meteors appear to radiate from near the star Skat or Delta in the constellation Aquarius the Water Bearer. The maximum hourly rate can reach 15-20 meteors in a dark sky. The nominal peak is around July 29-30, but, unlike many meteor showers, the Delta Aquarids lack a very definite peak. Instead, these medium-speed meteors ramble along fairly steadily throughout late July and early August. An hour or two before dawn usually presents the most favorable view of the Delta Aquarids, assuming the moon is out of the way. In late July, 2013, the rather faint Delta Aquarid meteors will be at least partially drowned in the light of a bright last quarter moon on July 29. Try watching in early August, when the Perseid meteor shower is building to its peak and the light of the waning crescent moon is less obtrusive. The new moon in late July 2014 will make next year a favorable one for watching the Delta Aquarids.

August 10-13, 2013 before dawn, the Perseids
The Perseid meteor shower is perhaps the most beloved meteor shower of the year for the Northern Hemisphere. The shower builds gradually to a peak, often produces 50 to 100 meteors per hour in a dark sky at the peak, and, for us in the Northern Hemisphere, this shower comes when the weather is warm. The Perseids tend to strengthen in number as late night deepens into midnight, and typically produce the most meteors in the wee hours before dawn. They radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus the Hero, but, as with all meteor shower radiant points, you don't need to know Perseus to watch the shower; instead, the meteors appear in all parts of the sky. They are typically fast and bright meteors. They frequently leave persistent trains. Every year, you can look for the Perseids around August 10-13. They combine with the Delta Aquarid shower (above) to produce the year's most dazzling display of shooting stars. In 2013, the Perseid meteors will streak across the short summer nights – August 10-13 – from late night until dawn, with little to no interference from the waxing crescent moon. Plus the moon will be near the planet Saturn in the evening hours, giving a colorful prelude to late-night Perseid show. Best mornings to look: August 11, 12 and 13.

October 7-8, 2013, the Draconids
The radiant point for the Draconid meteor shower almost coincides with the head of the constellation Draco the Dragon in the northern sky. That's why the Draconids are best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. The Draconid shower is a real oddity, in that the radiant point stands highest in the sky as darkness falls. That means that, unlike many meteor showers, the Draconids are more likely to fly in the evening hours than in the morning hours after midnight. This shower is usually a sleeper, producing only a handful of languid meteors per hour in most years. But watch out if the Dragon awakes! In rare instances, fiery Draco has been known to spew forth many hundreds of meteors in a single hour. In 2013, the thin waxing crescent moon won't cast enough moonlight to interfere with the Draconids. Try watching at nightfall and early evening on October 7 and 8.
Everything you need to know: Draconid meteor shower
October 21, 2013 before dawn, the Orionids
On a dark, moonless night, the Orionids exhibit a maximum of about 10 to 20 meteors per hour. These fast-moving meteors occasionally leave persistent trains. They sometimes produce bright fireballs, so you might see a few Orionids even in moon-drenched skies. If you trace these meteors backward, they seem to come from the Club of the famous constellation Orion the Hunter. You might know Orion's bright, ruddy star Betelgeuse. The radiant is north of Betelgeuse. The Orionids have a broad and irregular peak that isn't easy to predict. More meteors tend to fly after midnight, and the Orionids are typically at their best in the wee hours before dawn. This year, 2013, is not optimal for watching the Orionid meteor shower because a bright waning gibbous moon will be in the sky during the peak hours between midnight and dawn. But you might see some meteors even in bright moonlight. The best viewing for the Orionids in 2013 will probably be before dawn on October 21. Try the days before and after that, too, sticking to the midnight-to-dawn hours. You'll be watching for those brightest Orionids that can overcome the moon's glare..

Late night November 4 until dawn November 5, 2013, the South Taurids
The meteoroid streams that feed the South (and North) Taurids are very spread out and diffuse. That means the Taurids are extremely long-lasting (September 25 to November 25) but usually don't offer more than about 7 meteors per hour. That is true even on the South Taurids' expected peak night. The Taurids are, however, well known for having a high percentage of fireballs, or exceptionally bright meteors. Plus, the other Taurid shower – the North Taurids – always adds a few more meteors to the mix during the South Taurids' peak night. In 2013, the thin waxing crescent moon will set at early evening on November 4, leaving dark skies for the peak night of the South Taurid meteor shower. The South Taurids should produce their greatest number of meteors in the wee hours – between midnight and dawn – on November 5. Remember, even a single bright meteor can make your night!
Late night November 11 until dawn November 12, 2013, the North Taurids
Like the South Taurids, the North Taurids meteor shower is long-lasting (October 12 – December 2) but modest, and the peak number is forecast at about 7 meteors per hour. The North and South Taurids combine, however, to provide a nice sprinkling of meteors throughout October and November. Typically, you see the maximum numbers at around midnight, when Taurus the Bull is highest in the sky. Taurid meteors tend to be slow-moving, but sometimes very bright. In 2013, a bright waxing gibbous moon will bleach out all but the brighter meteors during the evening and wee morning hours. But the moon will set after midnight, providing lots of predawn darkness for watching the North Taurids on the morning of November 12.
Late night November 16 until dawn November 17, 2013, the Leonids
Radiating from the constellation Leo the Lion, the famous Leonid meteor shower has produced some of the greatest meteor storms in history – at least one in living memory, 1966 – with rates as high as thousands of meteors per minute during a span of 15 minutes on the morning of November 17, 1966. Indeed, on that beautiful night in 1966, the meteors did, briefly, fall like rain. Some who witnessed the 1966 Leonid meteor storm said they felt as if they needed to grip the ground, so strong was the impression of Earth plowing along through space, fording the meteoroid stream. The meteors, after all, were all streaming from a single point in the sky – the radiant point – in this case in the constellation Leo the Lion. Leonid meteor storms sometimes recur in cycles of 33 to 34 years, but the Leonids around the turn of the century – while wonderful for many observers – did not match the shower of 1966. And, in most years, the Lion whimpers rather than roars, producing a maximum of perhaps 10-15 meteors per hour on a dark night. Like many meteor showers, the Leonids ordinarily pick up steam after midnight and display the greatest meteor numbers just before dawn. In 2013, the full moon will interfere with the Leonid meteor shower. A full moon, after all, shines all night long, leaving no dark time for viewing the meteor shower. Still, the peak mornings will be November 17 or 18. Maybe you'll see some meteors in the bright moonlight.

A word about moonlight. In 2013, moonlight will not pose much of a problem for the May Eta Aquarids, the August Perseids, October Draconids and November South Taurids. There's moon-free viewing time for the January Quadrantids, April Lyrids and July Delta Aquarids. The full moon gets in the way of the November Leonids. Our almanac page provides links for access to the moonrise and moonset times in your sky.
Most important: a dark sky. Here's the first thing – the main thing – you need to know to become as proficient as the experts at watching meteors. That is, to watch meteors, you need a dark sky. It's possible to catch a meteor or two or even more from the suburbs. But, to experience a true meteor shower – where you might see several meteor each minute – avoid city lights.
Know your dates and times. You also need to be looking on the right date, at the right time of night. Meteor showers occur over a range of dates, because they stem from Earth's own movement through space. As we orbit the sun, we cross "meteor streams." These streams of icy particles in space come from comets moving in orbit around the sun. Comets are fragile icy bodies that litter their orbits with debris. When this cometary debris enters our atmosphere, it vaporizes due to friction with the air. If moonlight or city lights don't obscure the view, we on Earth see the falling, vaporizing particles as meteors. The Lyrids take place between about April 16 and 25. The peak morning in 2013 should be April 22, but you might catch Lyrid meteors on the nights around that date as well.
Where to go to watch a meteor shower. You can comfortably watch meteors from many places, assuming you have a dark sky: a rural back yard or deck, the hood of your car, the side of a road. State parks and national parks are good bets, but be sure they have a wide open viewing area, like a field; you don't want to be stuck in the midst of a forest on meteor night. An EarthSky friend and veteran meteor-watcher and astrophotographer Sergio Garcia Rill also offers this specific advice:
… you might want to give it a try but don't know where to go. Well, in planning my night photoshoots I use a variety of apps and web pages to know how dark the sky is in a certain location, the weather forecast, and how the night sky will look. Here's the link to Dark Sky Finder. It's a website that shows the light pollution in and around cities in North America which has been fundamental for finding dark sites to setup shots. Dark Sky finder also has an app for iPhone and iPad which as of this writting is only 99 cents so you might want to look into that as well. For people not in North America, the Blue Marble Navigator might be able to help to see how bright are the lights near you.
The other tool I can suggest is the Clear Sky Chart. I've learned the hard way that, now matter how perfectly dark the sky is at your location, it won't matter if there's a layer of clouds between you an the stars. This page is a little hard to read, but it shows a time chart, with each column being an hour, and each row being one of the conditions like cloud coverage and darkness. Alternatively, you could try to see the regular weather forecast at the weather channel or your favorite weather app.
What to bring with you. You don't need special equipment to watch a meteor shower. If you want to bring along equipment to make yourself more comfortable, consider a blanket or reclining lawn chair, a thermos with a hot drink, binoculars for gazing at the stars. Be sure to dress warmly enough, even in spring or summer, especially in the hours before dawn. Binoculars are fun to have, too. You won't need them for watching the meteor shower, but, especially if you have a dark sky, you might not be able to resist pointing them at the starry sky.
Are the predictions reliable? Although astronomers have tried to publish exact predictions in recent years, meteor showers remain notoriously unpredictable. Your best bet is to go outside at the times we suggest, and plan to spend at least an hour, if not a whole night, reclining comfortably while looking up at the sky. Also remember that meteor showers typically don't just happen on one night. They span a range of dates. So the morning before or after a shower's peak might be good, too.
Remember … meteor showers are like fishing. You go, you enjoy nature … and sometimes you catch something.
Peak dates are derived from data published in the Observer's Handbook by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and Guy Ottewell's Astronomical Calendar.
Bottom line: Next up in 2013 – December's Geminid meteor shower. It might be one of the year's richest showers if you avoid the moon.

Snug through the shoulders, but otherwise fab
I ordered this in a small and an extra small because tops of this style can be really full at times. The XS seemed snug through the shoulders, but the S was no better. Sizing up just made the top really big everywhere else. I decided to keep the XS. If you are in-between sizes at times, I recommend ordering down.

Buy it, Love it
Fits great, Looks really nice with a red or navy blue cami

Love this blouse
It's comfortable yet stylish. Looks great with skinny jeans. You'll need a cami as it's a little see through. Can be dressed up as well with a red clutch!
January 29, 2013
Must-have top!
This top is just a bit more dressy than the Mesh Peasant Henley Top, but like that top, it can be dressed up or down depending on how you want to wear it. It looks great tucked into a pencil skirt or untucked with skinny jeans.
January 14, 2013
Love it!
I love this top because it is very flattering on, but also because it is super versatile. I can wear it with skinny jeans for a casual look or with a pencil skirt to work. For a more formal look, I would probably wear a cami underneath it, as it is a little see through. The fit and color pattern are stellar.

Where can I buy or sell a used iMac online?
I have a 21.5" iMac (Core 2 Duo, late 2009) and a MacBook which is about two months old. I'd like to sell both and upgrade.
I believe you can trade your machine(s) in when you purchase a new one from Apple. They will reduce your cost for the new machine, certify your old ones and do any repairs necessary, and put them back on the market for others to purchase. | |||
I've heard of these guys several times previously, but don't have any experience of using them myself. http://www.powermax.com/ I suspect you won't get the best deal if trading in an old machine. | |||

There is a shift underway in enterprises is one from a world of messaging platforms to one of collaboration platforms - platforms for real-time connectivity and collaboration across boundaries and firewalls that enable machine-to-machine, person-to-person, B2B, and B2C interactions and transactions.
OAuth has become standard practice for large social media APIs and it's becoming common across enterprise APIs. OAuth is good for your customers' security and experience making is critical if you want adoption on your API.
Application developers are the customers of a Web API. Success is measured by how quickly app developers enjoy success using your API in their applications. And rapid adoption of a Web API is all about design.
A customer of ours once said it best - "...most open APIs start out as little more than raw, naked, features exposed to developers, and there is a big gap between a feature and a full-fledged service." This e-book is about the capabilities 'around the API' that might be needed to 'productize', 'monetize', or 'operationalize' an API-based service.
As the API and apps economy continues to evolve, a design problem arises for API designers when internal systems are too complex to expose directly to app developers. The goal of an API Facade Pattern is to articulate those internal systems and make them useful and consumable by app developers.
In April 2012, O'Reilly hosted a webinar by the authors of the O'Reilly book "APIs: A Strategy Guide." Video and slides are below. The book is an overview of API strategy for business executives and this webinar dives into both public and private API strategies. Thanks to O'Reilly, @daniel_jacobson, @gbrail and @danwoodscito. Courtesy of O'Reilly, a free chapter is posted here.
Today we are seeing an explosion of information consumption. Enterprises must reach a growing global audience that has moved beyond the browser to thousands of mobile and social apps on hundreds of connected devices. APIs power this new application and mobile driven economy. With new markets and opportunities come high expectations for application and service performance.

by Ben Collins
Last season, during halftime of a blowout Celtics win on ABC, commentator and Washington Post columnist Michael Wilbon was asked a question, and he was forced to look stupid for the sake of television. He had to look stupid because he was asked a question with no right answer: Who are the five best Celtics of all time? His list: Larry Bird, Bill Russell, John Havlicek, Dave Cowens, Sam Jones.
What, no Cousy? No Chief? See the dilemmas?
Seventeen rings, the most by any non-pinstriped team in American professional sports, and if you leave out a player in the top five, you leave out an innovation with it.
Cousy? There'd be no point guards. He invented the turnover-free, airtight-handled PG. He was Stockton with six rings between the '50s and '60s and the greatest New York City point guard product ever (sorry, Messrs. Archibald, Anderson and Marbury).
Russell? There would be no centers. Eleven of those 17 rings are on his fingers and one of his toes (presumably).
Bird? There'd be no position-defying freaks dropping dimes and hitting 17-footers from behind the backboard. No LeBron, no Dirk, no Kevin Garnett.
Speaking of KG, now that he and Paul Pierce delivered that 17th banner, where are they on the list? Top five? Top 15?
Boston College has been waiting for an NCAA Tournament dance partner to show up nearby for years. Fifty minutes west, hidden in the trees of Amherst, the UMass Minutemen have churned out Julius Erving, Rick Pitino and Marcus Camby. But this is the girl who lives in the woods, the homeschooled kid—too deep and dark and unconnected to civilization for anyone to make the drive to see her.
Former University of Michigan coach Tommy Amaker is the dad trying to push his smart, antisocial daughter on the BC Eagle. He's huddled in the Harvard gym in Cambridge trying to figure out how to grow an elite program in the Ivies. Too worried about midterms, though. Too uptight. He's actually getting some players, but BC will pass for now.
Boston University cut its football program in hopes of funding winners in men's and women's hoops. Eleven years later, neither team has seen the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Meanwhile, the Eagles, who were coached by Cousy in the '60s, have slowly built themselves into one of college basketball's elite. After Billy Curley and Dana Barros revived the program, they've been a national contender several times under coach Al Skinner, in both the Big East and the ACC, which BC joined in '05. Besides boasting great college players like Troy Bell, BC has pumped out some NBA ballers lately as well. Craig Smith was a second-round steal by the Timberwolves in '06 and averaged nearly 10 and 5 last season, while '07 first rounders Jared Dudley and Sean Williams quickly showed their value to the Bobcats and Nets, respectively.
There is one other Boston school, Northeastern University, that could claim one of the best to ever play in the city, but Reggie Lewis had a school too small and a life too short to prove it. The school has turned out only one NBA player since, on-the-rise Dallas guard Jose Juan Barea.
Time to gussy up, BU, Harvard, Northeastern and UMass —the team in maroon and gold from Chestnut Hill is still just a bit out of your league.
Patrick Ewing's run with coach Mike Jarvis at Cambridge Rindge and Latin, one that catapulted PE to a starring role at Georgetown and a Hall of Fame NBA career, was a kind of dominance unrepeatable. But the Hub has some good stories from players trying.
Before Travis Best started his journeyman world tour throughout the NBA and Europe, he once dropped 81 in a single game for Springfield Central in the shadow of the Springfield-based HOF. And Travis may not have even been the best PG of that era in Massachusetts.
Salem High's point guards—skilled-but-undersized scorer Scoonie Penn and well-sized-but-underskilled leader Rick Brunson—stormed the Witches to a pair of state titles. Brunson became the NBA's walking cup of coffee, playing 331 career games on 10 different teams and garnering only one guaranteed contract in eight seasons. Penn went on to flourish in Europe after a Final Four run with Ohio State.
Let's not forget the Boston College royalty: Barros (Xaverian Brothers High) and Curley (Duxbury High), or a center from a few years back who played at Governor Dummer Academy in Byfield, MA. Word was he'd be a surefire NBA big man and take over games just like Patrick Ewing used to. His name was Dan Gadzuric, and at least part of those rumors were true.
Streetball in Boston is nothing like it is in New York City or L.A. But there was a time, and it wasn't all that long ago, where that was a good thing.
"There were kids headed to D1 schools who still played in the streets. They weren't locked into teams or groups—it was all in terms of their population base," says local hoops historian Bijan C. Bayne.
"So these high schoolers, how they interacted—whether they were from East Boston, Arlington Catholic, (Boston) Latin, Fall River—it was all the same: they were all just Eastern Mass kids. They wanted to test their mettle everywhere. People wanted to be legit."
Bayne, who has long chronicled streetball in Beantown, says the end of the boom came with the highest level of players—like future pros Chris Herren and Penn—who would brave hours of traffic to head to the Eastern tip of the state to break in a new court and test out moves. "Some kids would go anywhere, they'd have these see-how-things-are-different, go-to-Newton, let's-see-what's-happening-on-the-Cape attitudes," he says. "But that's changed."
Bayne thinks AAU snatched up all the talent—and even some creatvity—and locked it up in gyms. Tourneys died off after the Boston Shootout, a yearly event that featured area D1 recruits in a streetball environment since 1974, turned into a run-of-the-mill AAU tourney in 1999. He sees the same thing happening in bigger cities.
But Bayne thinks Boston is the only city that can withstand the AAU recruiting blow. This city, after all, boasts the oldest neighborhood basketball league in United States, Boston Neighborhood Basketball League, which formed in 1969. The league is now sponsored by Reebok, which has the swag ammo needed to keep some competition on cement.
"A lot of these kids would be playing outside, but they're promised equipment and some organization with their (AAU) teams. This city has the Boston Neighborhood Basketball League, so it has the potential and it's giving them an organized place to play," says Bayne. "There are a lot of empty playgrounds. You're not getting a 14-year-old, a guy off work, an out of shape guy and a JuCo guy all on one court. But we're getting back to all of that."
New Edition member and Boston native Michael Bivins has been known to set up some streetball tournaments in the summer, too—perhaps because he doesn't want us to forget his appearance in Crossover.
The YMCA's main role in Boston is to fill up gyms with pickup ball. There's a reason, too, why the YMCA's headquarters are here: It's the only place to hoop in the usually tumultuous, ball-deflating winters. The gyms in the 16 locations are usually full, cheap and diverse—from weekend warriors to AAU players looking for a little extra burn. Leagues are always full and elbows in the paint are secretly very welcome.
For the more hands-off, matador defenders, there are six full courts across from the Garden at Basketball City Boston…when there isn't an AAU tourney or league holding down the courts.
When the snow finally clears to reveal a three-point line in Washington Park, it becomes the center of a formerly famous summer scene that would boast the best of local talent. While we wouldn't expect any to-be D1 players dropping by anymore, this may be a good thing for both your five and your self-esteem.
Expect some cold veins from the weather and colder veins from 15 feet. Expect point guards who fight for rebounds like centers cause it's just too cold not to be active all over the court.
Expect your game to be compared to obscure players from the '90s because people around here never forget. (Side note: Be ready to leave the court promptly if your game is compared to any Celtic who played under ML Carr's disastrous reign.)
Expect to dive for every loose ball, and expect someone to yell "Tommy Point!" when you do.
And when you hear it, you'll be channeling Reggie, Larry, Cousy, The Chief, Ewing. And you'll understand why they put up with these winters to begin with.

"Nice place to stay."
The staff was very nice . The hotel appears to have been a refurbished apartment and is in pretty good shape. However, underneath the kitchen sink there was a mildew type scent; it didn't permeate through the rooms, but caught me by surprise when I was looking for paper towels. Overall, I would stay again.Hotels.com visszajelzések
"is there a train around here somewhere"
my only complaint is the noise level my room backed the elevator and when used the entire wall behind the headboard is consumed with a load noise and heavy vibration. Very poor design, if my stay had been any longer i would have asked to be moved.Hotels.com visszajelzések

"Clean, friendly staff."
Rooms were clean, quiet, staff was super friendly. However, room did not have microwave as it was supposed to, asked guest services many times for one to be brought...stayed there 3 days and microwave didn't arrive as promised. Also, didn't realize the pool would be closed. I'm not sure but this wasn't advertised at time of booking.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések

"Don't call a "cab""
I stayed at this hotel to attend a show at Red Clay Theater. I have no complaints about the hotel itself. My issue is this: I asked Lisa at the front desk about getting a cab to the theater. I also asked what the cost would be. She said she did not know, but that there were a couple of companies that they recommended. She said she would call a cab for […] me when I was ready. I called the front desk 10 minutes before I wanted to leave. I was told the cab would be there in 10-15 minutes. After waiting more than 30 minutes, an unmarked SUV finally showed up. The driver did not know where the venue was, and had a very difficult time even following the GPS instructions. I had to tell him three times that he had missed a turn. Even with all of that, my issue is that this wasn't a CAB (which is what I requested), but some sort of car service. There was no meter in the car, so I had no idea what I was going to be charged. The hotel was no more than 7-8 miles from the venue. Yet I was charged $30. I wanted a simple cab ride. I wonder if the hotel is getting some sort of kick-back from this car service. I was very disappointed. This completely wiped out any special rate I had received through hotels.com. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések
"Good hotel"
The hotel staff were friendly. They even were able to check me in a little earlier than the stated check in time. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable. The breakfast provided was good. It was a hot breakfast with plenty of choices. I would definitely stay again.Hotels.com visszajelzések

"Great Place to Stay, in every way!"
Wow! What a great place to stay! Our group of 7 ladies had 2 suites and we decided we are definitely staying there again. So clean, comfortable, affordable, beautiful, and quiet. The staff went above and beyond to help us decide on sight-seeing activities and other needs. The location was perfect for attending our conference at Gwinnett Arena.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések

"Duh! When it's time to leave."
Only concern I had was obvious mold on the bathtub caulk and the drain was slow. Also wasn't pleased with the housekeeper asking me what time I was leaving. Duh, how about at checkout time..Hotels.com visszajelzések
"Close to the highway and in decent area"
Our overall stay was very good. We actually loved the set up with the Dishwasher, Fridge, Stove, and Microwave, although we really didn't get a chance to use anything but the Fridge and the microwave. The room was clean and neat with the exception of the foul smell in the hallways leading to the rooms. They smelled like old collard greens. The front […] desk clerks were very friendly. The computer in the business center did not have an up to date version of internet explorer or Mozilla, so we were unable to use it for anything like banking. The breakfast was pretty good and had a variety of choices, but the location was just too far away for what we wanted. We needed to be closer to downtown or midtown., but the price was right for a last minute booking during a holiday weekend, so we couldn't pass it up. We would absolutely stay there again and we would look for other Marriott Residence Inns in other areas. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések
"Great value"
Room was very clean and neat. Breakfast was nicely done. Although all personnel were friendly and professional, it took more than one phone call to get something fixed, i.e., stopped up lavatory, beeping/broken dishwasher. Also, housekeeping knocked and opened door at 8 am and 10 am to clean the room, although check out was not until noon. I would stay […] here, again, even with these nuisances because of their friendliness, cleanliness, and value. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések
"Comfy studio"
Overall I was very pleased with our stay. The pool was nearby our room, stores and restaurants were also close at hand. We didn't use the kitchen as much as we wanted because it didn't have an oven, and I wanted to make cookies to take to my granddaughter. The toilet needed repaired on our second day, and they were prompt in taking care of it. Cleanliness […] was great, except on our last day in the hotel they missed removing the trash. A larger trash container in the kitchen would have been nice. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések
"Nice room, great service."
The hotel's computers were down, but they had a back-up plan that allowed us to be checked in fairly quickly anyway. It was nice that they had a "manager's reception" so we could get light food since we hadn't had time to get stuff from the store to use in the kitchen. (Note, the kitchen has 2 burners, a microwave, a fridge, a dishwasher but no oven. […] Do not plan to make cookies.) It was easy to find the hotel from the main highway. The room was clean and the staff friendly. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések

We enjoyed our stay very much! Staff was very friendly and helpful! The studio room was quite cozy and clean and made us feel at home. Beds very comfy. Breakfast buffet had a very nice selection. Only problem we found is we weren't able to adjust the shower to warm, it was pretty much hot or cold and the pool could have been cleaner. But overall, I […] would recommend it to our friends. Also convenient to malls, arena and interstate. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések

"Nearer to my work place and most of the malls"
This hotel is located nearer to most of the well known malls. Free shuttle service provided by hotel within five miles makes it convenient to go around shopping. It is bit far from Atlanta downtown and will prove costly to go there by taxi.The rooms are clean and well maintained.Complimentary breakfast and evening snacks are good.Veggies may find it […] bit difficult but can still manage.Though there is kitchen I found it very difficult to cook as the hot plate never gets heated to cook our kind of food.Microwave and dish washer work excellent.I found some young african americans boozing late night outside of hotel, so its not safe to go out of room late in night, within the room its quite safe.Staff are courteous. Gym and swimming pool gives great relief. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések

I was in town for a convention in duluth. This was one of the best hotels i have ever used. It was only about 7 minutes from the convention site. It was convenient to I-85, gwinnett place mall, and lots of great restaurants. The rooms were quiet. Excellent location. I loved the fully- stocked kitchen. Rooms were very clean as well as the linen. No complaints […] at all from me!!! If i had to make a suggestion it would be please get king-sized beds in some of your rooms, if you dont already. I am 6'4" tall so anything less than a king i have to curl my legs up so my feet won't hang off the end of the bed. But that wasn't really a big deal. Just a thought.

"Residence inns compared"
Over the past 3 weeks, I've stayed at the Residence Inn in Gwinett, Residence Inn in Alpharetta and the Residence Inn in Alpharetta North Point. The Gwinett is by far the best hotel and the Windward one is by far the worst. The people in Gwinett were polite and bent over backwards to help. The Winward people were pretty much the opposite. The rooms […] in Gwinett, especially the 2 bedroom suites were TWICE as big as the ones at Windward. They were also cleaner, and the maid service was better as well. All in all, run TO the Gwinett Residence Inn and run AWAY from the Windward Residence Inn. I'm not kidding. There is that much of a difference. But make sure you watch for potholes if you go to the Windward Residence Inn. There is one in the entrance that will destroy your tire if you hit it entering the place. Just go to Gwinett, you will be doing yourself a favor by avoiding Windward at all costs. További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések

I've finished covering this 60′s swivel chair with some rather splendid bright green and crisp white fabric. Working with no pattern is really liberating itching to do some more make-overs now. I used some old cheap material to mock up first in order to get the right shapes, then it was a matter of simply stitching it all together, ironing those seams open so they stay nice and crisp, sewed a hem with elastic inside and pulled it taught over the chair. Lovely!
Still enjoying the focus that the Apartment Therapy Spring Cure is giving me, so inspirational to see others progress too!
Here is my update!
Deep Treatment
- Clean up living room and related closets.
- Repairs are being taken care of this week. Bathroom window edging fixed.
- Declutter books and all media. CD's on Amazon -Check, DVD's Ditched – Check, Beloved Books – Stay.
- Cancel 75 percent of the catalogs you receive. I did this with all the junk e-mails I get! Marvellous stuff. Will continue to do so too.
- Empty Outbox this week.
- Confirm what you need to increase or decrease color in each room. More apple green & fresh white in kitchen, more mustard and turquoise in the Hall
- Identify what you need to increase or decrease softness in each room. Fabric! Bliss!
- Cook three meals at home this week. We cheated as we went to my folks and ate, ate, ate. So this one is done!
- Send out your invitations. I will be combing the end with a Vintage Dressing Up Party! Invites to be sent. Date confirmed.
One-Room Remedy
- Begin Shopping List and enter all prices into a spreadsheet. Like I don't already have one of these? Spreadsheets for everything including coloured columns… its the doing part that I'm still building up to!
- Decide on the total scope of work to be done. Step away from the spreadsheets…
- Consider hiring a professional organizer. What? Huh You mean there is a job for that *considers changing careers*
- Visit a paint store this week to find samples. It's my secret shame to raid the colour samples…
If you are doing up your bedroom – don't forget to treat yourself after all your hard work with some of my lovely scented wardrobe and drawer products!
