The Big Red Head on Rondo " I think he's also capable of being the best player in the league"
|Posted by shawn cassidy on December 14, 2012 at 5:00 AM
Celtics notebook: It's all up to Rondo Walton: Ball in his court -Boston Herald
One, there shouldn't be a lot of worrying about either the Celtics or Lakers, who have started at an even worse pace than their cross-country rival. • Two, the Celtics will go as far as Rajon Rondo can take them. Not exactly news, perhaps, but Walton has also attached a qualifier to his opinion.
"Rondo can be the best point guard in the league," said Walton, who took in last night's game after speaking at a spinal fusion seminar during the day. "I think he's also capable of being the best player in the league. Nothing was a lock with Miami last year, and he nearly made the difference last year.
"The Celtics are going to be fine, because it's early, and the NBA is all about having the best players. They have a great coach in Doc Rivers, and they also have Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. But now the challenge is on Rajon Rondo to be that player. They need him to come out as the best player every night. When I was playing, that player was Larry Bird.
"I'm a huge Rondo fan. He's a classic Celtic, because the game isn't about stats to him. But to be an MVP-type player you have to do it every night."
I agree of course that Rondo is capeable of being the best in the league. He needs to rack up wins this season to be in the talk of MVP. I think Rondo is getting close. The Celtics want it, but they need to execute. It's no new news that the Celtics need Rondo to be a top five player to win it all. He's right for point out that he needs to be Larry Bird as well. Not to be like Bird, but to have the same passion, and the same will to win.

Funny though - I've always thought that Cowens and Walton were very similar as players in some ways. Both were free spirits. Both had games built around fierceness and hustle. Both were team players, who didn't necessarily score a lot, but who had versatile games where they did a lot of the dirty work. Walton was more of a shot-blocker/traditional center, and Cowens roamed the floor more. I think ankle problems ended both careers prematurely.
Cowens isn't as voluble as Walton, and that has affected their post-career reputations a lot! But Walton is very much a naturalized Celtic, I think, like Tiny Archibald, and unlike certain mercenary wanderers one can think of!
It's fascinating to see how many of the biggest stars in the history of the league pull for Rondo. I think it's like Walton said. Rondo is so old school. Which is why it's weird that folks like Ryan seem to hate him. Rondo is old school, but at the same time, he evolves the game. He's pure NBA, because he's another example of players, NOT COACHES, evolving the game. This isn't the NFL, thank God.
Its always old players who say Rondo is or could be the best. The media who knows nothing about the game,and they say otheres are better.

A high-fiber diet helps to normalize the digestive process, avoiding unpleasant conditions such as constipation and diarrhea. This can be achieved by making some minor diet adjustments, such as: consuming more than 20g of fiber per day, and eating plant-based foods like whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Fiber supplements also work to help meet the daily fiber requirements.

NIAF Sports & Entertainment Council
|About the Program
The NIAF Sports & Entertainment Council is a niche membership council of the National Italian American Foundation. It is designed to bring together prominent Italian Americans working in these industries who share a passion for their heritage. It provides professional networking opportunities with other leaders in the field, as well as mentoring of young, aspiring professionals. It also offers all the benefits of the NIAF Council Network including exclusive invitations to VIP events and other special programs around the nation.
On the sports side, this Council is organized in close collaboration with our strategic partner, the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame. It includes prominent Italian American coaches, owners, players, and executives in the industry. NIAF has always had a special relationship with sports figures recognizing players including Dan Marino and Joe Montana, coaches including Dick Vermeil and Joe Paterno, executives such as Paul Tagliabue and A. Bartlett Giamatti, and media personalities such as Sal Paolantonio and Tony Reali. That relationship was taken to a new level when Jerry Colangelo was elected NIAF Chairman in 2009. An icon in the industry, he has owned and worked with professional franchises in the NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, and is currently national director of USA Basketball, where he led the Redeem Team that recaptured the gold medal during the 2008 Beijing Games.
On the entertainment side, NIAF will continue is tradition of working with leading Italian Americans in film, television, and music including actors, directors, producers, musicians, agents and other industry-related professionals. The NIAF connection with Hollywood is very deep, and dates back to Jack Valenti, who was both a NIAF founder and President of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Special celebrity appearances have been regular fixtures of the annual NIAF Anniversary Gala, as well as regional events around the nation. NIAF has honored actors and directors including Martin Scorsese, Sophia Loren, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Nicolas Cage, John Travolta, and Carla Gugino; musicians Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Tim McGraw, Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavarotti, and Antonello Venditti.
The close relationship of entertainers and sports figures has been historically a key component of the NIAF brand. NIAF looks to increase our presence in these industries through the NIAF Sports & Entertainment Council, which will host several events throughout the year in various cities in the United States.
Beyond the obvious networking benefits of being a part of this special group, the Council members are also supporting the NIAF youth, educational and cultural programs including scholarships and mentoring. By joining those who share Italian heritage and success in sports and entertainment, members are helping our young people and tomorrows leaders while promoting the best that Italians and Italian Americans have given the world.

Apology given in Basildon councillor Twitter row
3:00pm Tuesday 28th January 2014 in Echo News
A PARLIAMENTARY candidate has apologised for a Twitter rant at a fellow councillor...but has vowed not to change his ways.
Gavin Callaghan, Labour's candidate for Tory MP John Baron's Basildon and Billericay seat in 2015, is facing sanctions for allegedly bullying political rival Phil Rackley.
An inquiry into his comments has been going on for seven months now, already costing the taxpayer £5,000, according to Mr Callaghan.
Meanwhile, he has been cleared of any wrongdoing concerning Mr Rackley's wife Pat, after both the Rackleys controversially left the Labour Party last year to form the Independent Labour Group.
Mr Callaghan faces a hearing about Mr Rackley's complaint on Wednesday, after claiming the former deputy leader of Basildon's Labour party left the group to snap up an extra £1,400 in allowances after installing himself as party leader of the independent group.
Mr Callaghan, who represents Pitsea North West, said: "I set out to challenge people on their politics, but never set out to intentionally upset people.
"For that reason, I offer any apology, but I won't change my politics. I don't believe I have done anything wrong."
The inquiry into Mr Callaghan's comments, which have since been deleted after his account was deactivated, started last May.
He claimed it had cost the taxpayer £5,000 and asked why the Rackleys had highlighted 121 tweets, all of which were investigated.
In his report, the investigating officer Brian Keane picked out three tweets that could be deemed as personal attacks on Mr Rackley – and concluded he has breached the councillor's code of conduct. These included Mr Callaghan labelling Mr Rackley an "allowance cheat"
and saying he was "ripping off taxpayers" and "it's starting to look clearly like he left for the extra money".
The Rackleys, along with Lynda Gordon, left the Labour party in the early 2013.
Mr Callaghan suggested Mrs Rackley was dishonest in the way she left the party, but he has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
But it will be down to Basildon Council's Joint Standards Committee to determine whether he has broken the rules.
That hearing will be held this Wednesday.
The committee, made up of councillors from across the parties, will also see Mr Callaghan's apology and will choose to either accept it or continue with the hearing.
Mr Rackley would not comment on the hearing, but said: "We will wait and see what the outcome is of the standards committee meeting."

Using Postal votes of dead people hardly smacks of honesty, as does getting the Aussie to print lies about who caused the supposed crisis, that coincidently has gone a long way towards defining the haves and the have-nots, each of which is now much more polarised into the place your lot put them in! Any working person will soon realise just why the trades unions became essential, and wish they had done a little to preserve some of the fairer things in life!
Don't really care who said what .. but why the taxpayer footing the bill for the investigation this should be an internal liebour party investigation.

I suppose you are going to start posturing about the fact that you live in Basildon now and throwing that in John Baron's face.
As I say, I am no fan of the Tories but John Baron was my MP when I lived at Crays Hill and I can safely say you don't stand a cat in hell's, particularly after your potential voters have read your Twitter page.
Also, no doubt UKIP will be fielding a candidate and as you know, UKIP have been nicking both Labour and Tory votes.
Pride comes before a fall.
Once again, let's see how accountable YOU are... How is your new home being funded? Out of your councillor's allowance? In which case, your constituents are stumping up for your it.
Funny that, even more hypocrisy because if it's not your constituents, it will no doubt be bank of mum and dad.
You want everyone else to be accountable. Now the spotlight is on you especially now that every penny you receive is from the public purse.
Myself and others will be checking you out under the FoI to make sure you are not doing what you accuse others of doing.
Judge not less ye be judged eh boy?

and here is the most narcissistic of all his entities https://twitter.com/
He bangs on an awful lot about other politicians wasting taxpayers' money. Meanwhile he seems to spend most of his valueless life sniping at other politicians and members of the public. Or waffling on about inconsequentials.
Some very choice pit language coming from someone who is a prospective parliamentary candidate.
Seems this milksop likes to engage in internet bullying and yet he is a researcher for Steve Rotheram MP, who has a special interest in anti trolling! Hmmmm that's a bit of a contradiction in terms to say the least.
Another piece of humungous hypocrisy from Labour, whose Nigel Smith was yesterday bleating about Basildon Council paying for consultants when the Labour party spent billions on consultants during their 13 miserable years of office, something Callaghan is too young to remember.
A read through the Tweets of this rather odious person who is totally unfit to hold public office of any kind let alone stand for parliament will show you just what sort of a "politician" he really is. And I use the term loosely.
onal, defamatory and a bully ...it's all there if you take the time to read through it F and C words and all.
As for his constituents, god help them, all they want is their pot holes fixed, their drains dealt with and other such pressing problems.
For somebody who is always harping on about wastes of public money, there is no bigger waste of money than someone who spends hours getting the police and other agencies involved in "investigating" things that are pointless and rarely lead to anything conclusive rather than dealing with more the more pressing everyday needs of his "constituents". And the rest of the time of course, is spent on Twitter, on his various accounts.
Him and his mates "BAroness" Ange (of Vange) Smith and Mr Ange Smith (Nigel) are good at moaning and griping about the Tories (another entity I haven't got time for either) and yet here is this Socialist who wanted the House of Lords abolished, accepting £300 a day attendance fee from the House of Lords which she attends under the title "Baroness" Basildon. Who pays for that then?
So much for Socialist principles. Has Mr Callaghan asked his "constituents" *(he's not an MP yet nor likely to be) what they think of that?
Labour have wasted billions of pounds of taxpayers' money on pointless PC projects and in their disastrous 13 years of office inflicted more damage on this country than Hitler could dream of. But of course during that time Callaghan was still struggling to keep down his gripe water. Not much change there then.
It's time, Howard Chase, the VOTING PUBLIC sacked them. I see your comment above but you do realise that these people are only there because they were ELECTED BY THE PUBLIC.
Basically, this truculent schoolboy who knows nothing of what it is to have to struggle - being that he comes from a rather privileged background, is, like his colleagues, running scared of UKIP, hence the vitriolic attacks on certain UKIP members.
The voting public of Britain are ready for a change and are beginning to realise the merry go round of Lab/Lab/Con just sinks this country deeper into the mire.
Personally I am not happy about UKIP either from what I have seen of the inside of it but far from being far right it was the far left elements that dismayed me. Yes I said FAR LEFT.
Fortunately Basildon and the surrounding area does have some excellent UKIP councillors and candidates and Callaghan and co know this. Hence the vitriol and dirty tricks.
I've personally been on the receiving end of Callaghan and his spite filled rants about me on Twitter. However, Callaghan has now had so many Standards Boards complaints from other disgruntled individuals. it's beginning to be embarrassing.
Anyway, see for yourselves just what sort of person this prospective parliamentary candidate is - and when you have read through his vitriol and expletive filled Twitter alter egos,forget any problem you have with me (because you've read the lies he and his ilk have said about me) and ask yourselves if this is somebody you really want to be your voice.
Somebody who storms out of meetings and throws his toys out of the pram when things don't go his way.
But then, that's the Far Left for you isn't it? They detest the Far Right but it's rather a conundrum that - as they are two sides of the same coin.
Callaghan declares:
"For that reason, I offer any apology, but I won't change my politics. I don't believe I have done anything wrong."
Really? With that attitude you will go a long long way in politics... NOT..
Even the voting public of this country are not gullible enough to elect someone who attacks random members of the public openly and worse still, somebody who cannot admit when he is in the wrong is an anathema to the people of this country. They won't tolerate that - or narcissism and complacency. All qualities deplored by decent hardworking people.
Cllr Callaghan has a lot to learn about life itself before he can even think of considering himself to be a politician.. What happened to the old fashioned values of honour, principles, manners and dignity.
A read through some of the diatribes on the above pages will show you he has none of the above qualities and therefore needs to think very carefully before putting himself under the spotlight that comes with being a Member of Parliament. Those you meet on the way up will be the same ones you meet on the way down. Never forget.
I leave you with the words of the boy himself ... avail yourselves of the above links and form your own judgement.
As for personal attacks on me, go ahead... but I don't bother to read them as you know. And any comments you make WITHOUT having checked over these Twitter pages will be null and void anyway. How can you have an opinion unless you have read them?
4:16pm Wed 29 Jan 14
Kim Gandy says...
Right now I wouldn't be a member of a political party if somebody paid me.
Put your toys back in the pram and grow a pair.
For somebody in politics you are going to have to learn that in the Real World, not everybody agrees with you and they will oppose your opinions and views whether you like it or not.
Get used to it or quit bellyaching. Or just quit.
You started this with your libellous comments and lies about me. Don't start what you can't finish.
Oh and if you have a problem with me, rather than do your usual bullying from the safety of your keyboard, say it to my face. You will have enough opportunities. Keep up with the libel and you will be put through the wringer again via the Standards Board. Toothless tiger though it may be, one day, somebody is going to get sick of hearing about you.
Most notably your "constituents".

Seems that, between the last set of comments, rom hasn't been left for any other viewpoint. Somewhat reminiscent of a "Debate" in Basildon Council chambers!

For a researcher he has surprisingly few research skills - because if he looked properly he would see that indeed NOTHING has been removed and once again I remind him I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH UKIP ANY MORE and take my orders from nobody.
As for chatting with his superiors at County Hall, other politicians, particularly anyone outside of Labour, blank him so what it says on his Twitter page is wildly inaccurate and not to be believed.

Whatever party you are party to, you don't give too much credence to being civil do you? In case any of your vitriol is meant to splash on me, I am not a member of any political party. If I was it would be something along the lines of "The fair days work for a fair days pay" party.
I believe I belong to a family that has paid it's dues to this country and, as such, has a right to be here.
Lastly, I do not believe in Elitism, especially of the Western kind, where peoples only qualification is their bank balance, and most of that was achieved via protection rackets and lying their way through life (Viz, the current crowd of con artists that are after restoring the complete set of playing cards entitled "Them and us" under the banner of "We are all in this together" Well, if they were in my lifeboat, the sharks would be well fed!"
So does that give you cause to attack my life creed?

Willie Degel is known for running a tight ship at his restaurants. His secret: cameras canvassing every inch of his restaurant, allowing him to keep a close eye on his floor, staff and patrons. Restaurant Stakeout follows as Willie takes his practices to troubled restaurateurs looking to find and rectify the hidden problems that lie within their establishments.
Willie is called in to rescue, Pat, the chef/owner of PK's Restaurant & Lounge in Staten Island, N.Y. When Pat opened his restaurant a year ago it was a dream come true, but now it's become a nightmare. Only Willie can help him whip his young, inexperienced staff into shape and get the sprawling menu under control.
Willie comes to the aid of Dena, owner of BlonDee's Bistro & Bar in Huntington, N.Y. Dena opened BlonDee's a year ago as a way to support her three children, but after an unfavorable review from the New York Times, she spends all of her time at the restaurant and away from her kids. Willie soon discovers that Dena's dedication has turned into a lack of delegation, crippling the workflow of the restaurant in a myriad of ways.
Willie rushes to 90 Park in North Bergen, N.J., to come to the rescue of chef/owner Antonia. Due to a family illness, Antonia shifted her attention away from the restaurant and now she's paying for it, even borrowing against her house to keep the business running. Though a wizard in the kitchen, Antonia is a disaster when it comes to managing her staff and handling the finances. Without Willie's help, she'll lose her business and her home.
Willie is called in to help husband and wife Larry and Joan, owners of The Original Mama Angelo's in North Arlington, N.J. This family-style Italian eatery's authentic cuisine is no longer enough to keep customers coming back for more, and they are worried about losing everything. Pouring their life savings into the declining business, Larry and Joan need Willie to pull Mama Angelo's back from the brink of disaster.
Joe is struggling as a first-time restaurant owner. After his mother's passing, Joe took a big gamble and used his inheritance to open Joe Broadway's Billiards & Sports Pub in Staten Island, N.Y. For the past year, Joe has run himself into the ground simply trying to stay afloat. He's not making any money, his staff is unprofessional and his chef is at wit's end and about to quit. Without Willie's help, Joe's big gamble will go bust.
Willie is called in by Donna, the owner of Beso Restaurant and Bar in Brooklyn. Though a successful businesswoman, Donna's first try at running a restaurant is coming as a shock. A strong early start has recently turned into bad reviews and plummeting profits and Donna's iron grip on the staff hasn't improved service. Without Willie's help, this once promising establishment will close its doors for good.
Willie is called in to help lifelong best friends and current business partners Joe and Gene. Four years ago the former Wall Street hotshots opened Somers 202 in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. While locals initially loved the restaurant, lately business has bottomed out. The owners dream of passing the restaurant down to their children, but without Willie's help, shutting the doors on Somers 202 may be their only reality.
Willie is called in by Alan, owner of Sugo Cafe, a family-run business in Long Beach, N.Y. For the past six years, Alan, a total control freak, has devoted every waking moment to his struggling restaurant at the cost of spending time with his wife and watching his kids grow up. Desperate to spend time with his loved ones, Alan has staffed Sugo with family and friends, but immediately discovers that business and family do no mix and, in fact, could be the recipe for disaster at the cafe.
Willie comes to the aid of Anthony and Toby, owners of Hot Rods Real Pit BBQ in Wharton, N.J. After 10 years, the restaurant is still struggling to succeed and it's robbing Anthony and Toby of precious hours they should be spending with their young daughter. Willie soon finds that bad attitudes and a significant lack of training are among the worst offenders on the floor — and it will take some serious hands-on intervention to turn things around.
Willie comes to the aid of Luis, who, with his mother, own The Latin Kitchen in the Bronx, N.Y. After a freak accident that nearly claimed his mother's life and the arrival of new competition in the neighborhood, Luis is on the verge of ruin. It's up to Willie to take an unfocused, unguided staff and turn them into the winning team that Louis and his mother so desperately need.
Willie steps in to help Lisa, owner of The Bayou in North Bellmore, N.Y. After 22 years serving up authentic cajun flavors, customers now seem to be disappearing. Willie soon discovers that a disillusioned leader and a staff that treats the place more like Mardi Gras than a restaurant, may be at the heart of the problem.
After 20 years of hard work and chasing the American dream, going from dishwasher to owner, Juan opened Roasted Peppers in Mamaroneck, N.Y., with his business partner and co-chef, Darrell. No matter how hard they try, they can barely make ends meet. Complicating matters, Juan's 11-year-old son was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. Desperate for help, Juan turns to Willie to save his restaurant and keep his dream alive.
Willie is called in to help Mohammad, owner of Shiraz Persian Restaurant in Elmsford, N.Y., who has already been forced out business twice before. But with staff infighting, laziness and an owner who is too afraid to lay down the law, Willie quickly discovers that there may be more problems at Shiraz than even he can fix.
Willie comes to the aid of Danny, owner of Danny's Steakhouse in Red Bank, N.J. After 42 years in the business, Danny has seemingly tried everything, but his business is struggling.

Joe, the owners of The Venetian Grille in Somerville, N.J., grew up in the business and took over the family restaurant eight years ago.

Willie quickly discovers that an unprofessional staff, confused identity and frustrated manager are just a few of the problems that need fixing.
Willie comes to the aid of Rene, co-owner of Barzola Restaurant in Flushing, N.Y.

Willie's surveillance uncovers a lack of knowledge on the menu, bad attitudes on the floor and a serious lack of inventory, that may be dragging the restaurant down.
Willie answers the call of Frank, owner of Michael's Roscommon House in Belleville, N.J. Frank inherited the restaurant from his late father and is struggling to keep things afloat. Willie soon finds that an untrained staff, lack of structure and an unruly chef are only part of Frank's problem: Frank himself must learn to step up and lead as his father once did, or kiss his business goodbye.
A.J., owner of A.J.'s Burgers in New Rochelle, N.Y., can't seem to make ends meet, despite award winning burgers and a commitment to pleasing his customers. Willie soon discovers the issues driving A.J. into the poor house, including an overloaded menu, confused identity and a burned out manager.
Willie steps in to assist Sean, the young owner of Smokehouse Barbecue in Somerville, N.J., Willie finds that an unprofessional staff, more interested in pulling pranks than customer service, may be more than Sean's business can survive.
Willie travels to Joey D's Pizzeria in Metuchen, N.J., to help the owner, Joey, put an end to the family drama that is tearing his business apart. Eight years ago, Joey risked everything to pursue a lifelong goal of opening his own restaurant. The gamble paid off as his establishment soon became a local favorite. But now, after almost a decade of successful operation, Joey's twentysomething stepdaughters have essentially taken control of the joint. Their bad behavior is driving customers away and if Willie can't help Joey rein them in, he just might lose everything.
Willie comes to the aid of Dawn, owner of the Liberty Bar and Grill in Hoboken, N.J. After 14 years in business, Dawn's restaurant is struggling and she's called Willie for answers. He soon discovers that Dawn's hands-off management style has created a leadership vacuum and some serious personnel issues that threaten to bring the business to its knees.
Willie helps out Melissa O'Connell, a too-sweet wife, mother and owner of The Pepper Jack Grill in Staten Island. Melissa treats her staff like family, and, like any family, they bring the dysfunction. Their fighting, drinking, and unprofessional behavior is driving customers away and causing business to suffer. Despite the grill's problem's, Melissa's hanging on to the business because of a promise she made to her young daughter. But if Willie can't help her, she may soon have no choice but close up shop.
Willie helps first-time owner, Michael, fix his struggling Mexican restaurant, Taqueria Autentica, in Bloomfield, N.J. Opening just one year ago, Michael's restaurant has wrestled with novice mistakes, botched food orders and a young staff behaving inappropriately. Now, a wave of negative customer reviews is seriously threatening the restaurant's bottom line. If things don't change fast, the restaurant may have to close its doors for good.
Willie comes to the aid of Spiro, owner of Athena Mediterranean Cuisine in Brooklyn, N.Y. The restaurant is a family affair for Spiro, with his mother, three brothers and a nephew all playing roles in it's day-to-day operation. But it's dwindling customer base and reviews pointing to unprofessional service suggest that sometimes business and family are a bad mix. If Willie can't get this passionate family operating on the same page, Spiro's restaurant could become another Greek tragedy.
Willie is called upon to help struggling owner and chef Mike, of Trends Restaurant in Staten Island, N.Y. The business is collapsing and Mike is at the mercy of his out-of-control staff. His problems are compounded by the fact that his manager son, Nick, is often missing in action instead of leading by example. Mike's always dreamed of one day passing the restaurant onto his son. But if Willie can't get this kid to step up and take control, there may be no business to inherit.
Willie is called in to help the Haven Grill in Port Washington, N.Y. Tough economic times recently prompted this family-run restaurant to move from traditional Italian fare to an American menu with broader appeal. But, with the business still struggling, the restaurant has developed an identity crisis that's taking its toll on the married owners. Their daughter, Stefania, is desperate for Willie to sort this messy situation out and get the Haven Grill on the right track before it's too late.
Willie steps in to help Anna Maria, chef and owner of Anna Maria's Italian Restaurant in Larchmont, N.Y. While her food gets raves, her restaurant has developed a reputation for nickel-and-diming the customer and it's driving business out the door. If Willie can't solve the service problems, Anna Maria's dream of running her own restaurant is destined to become a nightmare.
Willie has his work cut out for him when he stakes out the Oakwood Diner in Staten Island, N.Y. The owner, Mike Jr., has been around the diner business his entire life. Following in his successful father's footsteps, he took over the Oakwood Diner two and a half years ago. Mike inherited an undisciplined staff that treats the place like their living room and drives customers away with rude and inappropriate behavior.
Willie is called in to help a desperate owner, Antony, save his Italian restaurant, Serata, in Oyster Bay, N.Y. Antony's rowdy employees have created an atmosphere that's more sideshow than serene, and business is suffering. The situation is complicated by the fact that Serata's main investor, Vinny, is also Antony's best friend. The two lifelong friends need Willie to get their restaurant back on track before their business and relationship come to an unhappy ending.
Willie comes to the aid of Tom, proud owner of Nauna's Bella Casa, who's spent the past 24 years building his restaurant into an established Montclair, N.J., eatery. Now, the married 45-year-old owner is looking to take a step back from his demanding business to start a family. Tom's enlisted Willie to help him figure out what his staff is doing when he's not around that's costing him customers, so he can salvage his restaurant's reputation before it's too late.
Willie comes to the aid of Nick, owner of the Pita Grill in Hoboken, N.J. Nick recently achieved a lifelong goal of opening up his own restaurant, as part owner of a small franchise business. Nick's invested everything into the place and needs it to work. But now an unruly staff, more interested in having fun than customer service, could destroy his dream and cost him everything. Willie is Nick's last hope to help straighten out his staff and his business before the Pita Grill is forced to close its doors for good.
At Ariana Restaurant in Huntington, N.Y., Willie Degel finds a family-run business suffering from too much family and not enough business. The owner's son, Joey, has reached out to Willie to help save the restaurant and convince his father that recent reviews point to a painful truth: The lax atmosphere toward customers is driving business away and threatens to run Ariana's into the ground.
One of the first things Willie Degel discovers when he arrives at the Mt. Ivy Café in Pomona, N.Y., is that the problems of this restaurant may not be with the staff, but with the owner. She is nickel and diming her clients and this may mean certain death for the business unless Willie can find a manager and bring in a younger clientele. Will Willie's stakeout uncover the problems behind the restaurant's decline or is it too late for the Mt. Ivy Café?
New York restaurant czar Willie Degel heads to Firefly restaurant in Las Vegas to answer the restaurant owner's plea for help. Willie's team of surveillance professionals equips the entire restaurant with hidden cameras and microphones to determine the root of the problem. Do the restaurant's problems come from the wait staff? Or do they start from the top down? Plus, what happens when a waitress goes rogue?
Willie Degel puts his skills and knowledge to the test at Lexington Grille and Pub in Bardonia, N.Y., where he tries to save the restaurant from total collapse by reining in the party-hearty ways of an out-of-control staff. After many successful years, the restaurant is squandering money, and Willie's job is to find out why. He and his team set up a covert stakeout to see where all the cash is going - but can he stop the insanity before the business goes under?
Willie Degel heads to Agnello's Pizzeria in New City, N.Y., to help pizza royalty make peace between family partners. After battling several life-threatening illnesses, the owner appeals to Willie to ensure that her family can work together and continue their legacy. Willie must use his stakeout team to discover the restaurant's problems and weed out the bad eggs to bring a family together.
Willie Degel travels to Willy Parker's restaurant in Williston Park, N.Y., and discovers that the biggest problems are the owners, who are brothers. Their feuding and bickering is dragging Willy Parker's down. If Willie's stakeout can't solve the problems, the brothers' dream of restaurant success as well as their life's savings will be lost forever.
Willie Degel travels to Las Vegas to help the owners of Bar + Bistro, a restaurant that has been built in an art gallery. Husband and wife Wes and Debra have passion for their establishment but ZERO knowledge of how a restaurant should be run. After being shafted by two previous chefs, things are now desperate as the married couple turns to Willie for help. Will Willie create a restaurant masterpiece or is Bar + Bistro doomed?

In the past, unskillful behavior was unknown among the human race. As a result, people lived for an immensely long time — 80,000 years — endowed with great beauty, wealth, pleasure, and strength. Over the course of time, though, they began behaving in various unskillful ways. This caused the human life span gradually to shorten, to the point where it now stands at 100 years, with human beauty, wealth, pleasure, and strength decreasing proportionately. In the future, as morality continues to degenerate, human life will continue to shorten to the point were the normal life span is 10 years, with people reaching sexual maturity at five.
There's a few things that bug me in some sutras, this is obviously one of them. The others include various things in the Lotus Sutra, and there's probably many others that I've not read that will contain things that seem so strange that you wonder how they ever got into the texts. So what do you think the meaning of having this added to the Cakkavatti Sutra is? If it's metaphor, why word it like this?

By Dr. Osmund Bopearachchi, Scholar of Gandharan Art and Sri Lankan Archaeology
Friday, October 12, 20123:00 PM - 5:00 PM275 Dodd HallUCLA
The Buddha Sakyamuni, having preached Abhidhamma in the Trayastrimsa heaven to the gods and to his mother who was then reborn as a deva, descended to Jambudvipa at Samkasya on a triple ladder with Brahma to his right and Indra to his left. At the bottom, the Buddha was greeted by Utpalavarna, a Buddhist nun who had been a courtesan in Rajagriha. Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese and Japanese sources, relate how Utpalavarna came to renounce the secular world. While giving birth to a daughter, to her utter dismay, she discovered that her husband was having an illicit affair with her mother. She then ran away from home, leaving her newborn child behind. Sometime later she became the wife of a wealthy man in Varanasi, only to discover one day that the second wife he brought home was her own daughter. Disappointed with life, she became a courtesan in Rajagriha. After a chance encounter with Maudgalyayana, she became a disciple of the Buddha, engaging in Buddhist practice under the guidance of Mahaprajapati until she attained arhatship. The story of Utpalavarna has been a favorite legend among Buddhists, as attested not only by literary sources but also by Buddhist art in which the depiction of Utpalavarna, transformed by magic power into a great emperor (Chakravartin) and admitted with her chariot and troops into the foremost row to pay tribute to the Buddha upon descent from the Trayastrimsa heaven, was a popular theme. Very few art historians have paid attention to representations of the encounter between Utpalavarna and the Buddha. In his lecture, Prof. Bopearachchi will reexamine previously identified reliefs depicting this event in the light of newly discovered unpublished Gandharan reliefs where Utpalavarna is shown both as a Chakravartin and a Bikshuni.

Southern California Campus
Southern California, home to some of the largest churches in America, a distinct California/Hollywood culture and birthplace of the "Jesus Movement," is the setting for Golden Gate's two-acre Southern California Campus (SCC) located in Brea. Situated conveniently off the 57 Freeway near the 60 and the 91, SCC is surrounded by mountains, beaches, deserts, and millions of people.
Southern California is home to diverse cultures and people groups. Presently more than 100 nationalities and more than 40 languages are found among the residents of the L.A. Basin. There is no better setting to study the urban world, people groups, and what it will take to reach both. With nearly 1,000 Southern Baptist churches and missions, numerous ministry opportunities are available for students. Southern California offers students the opportunity to study and learn from a number of successful urban churches from both Southern Baptist and non-Baptist models.
The curriculum offered at SCC is identical to that at the Northern California Campus for the Master of Divinity (MDiv), Master of Arts in Educational Leadership (MAEL), Master of Theological Studies (MTS), and Master of Arts in Intercultural Ministry (MAIM) degrees, as well as the Diploma in Theology and Diploma in Educational Leadership. Classes are offered over a wide variety of theological disciplines and are conveniently taught throughout the week or in "block" or "intensive" format with most classes having an online component. SCC also has an extension site at Saddleback Church, which is approved to offer up to one-half of the MTS program. SCC has the flexibility to partner with local churches to tailor the seminary experience toward a specific outcome.
The Southern California Campus now offers a housing option for students. In partnership with Hope International University in Fullerton, GGBTS students - both singles and married couples - may obtain housing and campus services only 10 minutes away from the Brea, California, campus. The price is reasonable and includes room, meals, fitness center, swimming pool, parking, and other amenities. Contact Christina Armenta at 714-256-1311, ext 10, for more information.

The Frank and Jane Pollard Library was named after the fifth President of Golden Gate Seminary. Before coming to the Seminary, Dr. Pollard served as the longtime pastor of First Baptist Church in San Antonio, Texas. During his tenure, the Seminary experienced the largest enrollment gain in its history.
The library houses approximately 16,500 book volumes, journal titles, a multimedia collection, and provides computer research and wireless technology. Fully staffed by Harvey Martindill and part-time circulation help, the library is open to help students, faculty, and staff. The SCC Library is a member of SCATLA, an association of 38 local theological libraries. Through this membership, students have access to millions of books that GGBTS libraries may not own. In addition, the SCC Library has a cooperative agreement with California Baptist University, which furthers the available resources for library users.
