What went wrong?
Okay, it took me some time to realise that what you see isn't what you get, so I've chopped some heads off of friends and family members through the years. But here I also managed to do something to make the colours look like they've been stored with an old lady with lots of cigarettes for a long time. Hm. I still haven't figured out what I did wrong...This photo was shot on film. Taken by mariefisen with a Lomography Diana Mini (available in our Online Shop) loaded with FUJI Superia 1600 ASA film in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Calling all veg heads - what are your common pitfalls when ordering at non veg restaurants?
- Nikki NYC Feb 16, 2007 09:19 PM
I try to stay as close to vegan as possible and I find that ordering in non-veg restaurants takes a lot of strategy and diligence. Many times the waiters push the "vegetarian" risotto on me until I ask if it is prepared with chicken stock - it always is. The other common problem I have is if I forget to tell them to hold the cheese then they find a way to sneak it in. What issues do you have?
if you're not going to a vegetarian restaurant, it would save you, the server and the kitchen a lot of hassle if you called ahead. very few things in a restaurant are totally cooked to order -- yeah, that risotto was par-cooked, ok? if you're trying to keep to a restricted diet, it's your responsibility to make that known, just like if you have an allergy.
soups, stocks and sauces will be your major hurdle.
if you're vegan, you might as well forget dessert, unless you're content with a fruit plate. but if you call ahead, many pastry chefs will rise to the challenge and make something special.
I do not want to sound mean or anything, but if you are a true Vegan, stay out of the meat serving restaurants. What good is a veggie burger that gets cooked along with the hamburgers or the French fries that gets fried in vegetable oil right after frying some chicken fingers?
My point is, if meat consumables comes in the back door of the restaurant, forget about having a 100% vegan experience.
I am not a true vegan, I just do my best. And calling ahead isn't always an option, particularly in a business-meal type of situation where one often needs to "go with the flow". THanks for the tips.
I think most vegetarians (myself included) realise that going to a restaurant that serves meat is going to be a compromise. I do my best to stay away from the soup, anything that requires stock/broth and anything fried (same grill/oil as the meat).
I have a few restaurants that I know I can go to without problems, if I'm out with friends, I'll try to steer them towards one of these. If I'm going to a new place, I'll look up the menu online before I go. If it is a nicer restaurant, I do call ahead and ask.
In terms of "going with the flow" - look for the pasta dish. Even if they don't have a pomodoro sauce, most restaurants can cook make an olive oil and garlic dressing for it - ask them to toss some veggies in with it. If all else fails, go with the salad and bread. I always keep peanutbutter & crackers in my car as a fall back so my blood sugar doesn't suffer.
I eat a lot of salad ... and some really vile sandwiches. I have a don't ask don't tell policy. Unless an item is clearly marked "vegetarian/vegan" on the menu I don't order it. And I only change those that can be cleanly altered - i.e. salads. Soups, risottos, pastas, sandwiches (or grill items) are all suspect unless clearly marked veg/vegan and even then it's questionable if they understand the meaning of the term ... it's a risky business. I let my stomach tell me the truth and steer clear of the offenders in subsequent dealings.
I agree that it's much harder for a vegan than a vegetarian.
Over the years, I've learned to watch out for:
soup (I never order it unless the broth is specified - this goes for miso, too, cuz it often has fish)
salads (bacon bits or caesar dressing)
curries (shrimp paste)
stir fries (oyster sauce)
beans (bacon or lard)
collard greens (same as above)
mashed potatoes (often served with gravy)
rice (cooked with broth)
veggie burgers (usually cooked on the same grill as the meat)
If you're ever in Spokane, WA, you can safely visit Mizuna (http://www.mizuna.com/). Just had to put in a plug for a restaurant I like.

Larry Birkhead and Dannielynn: Taking It Easyby Mischalova at . Comments
Life isn't easy under the glare of celebrity gossip cameras.
So you can't blame Larry Birkhead for taking his adorable daughter on vacation for some well-deserved rest and relaxation.
We'll leave him and Dannielynn to it, just wanted to comment on what a cute pair these two make.
They go together almost as well as Jason Wahler and Katja Decker-Sadowski.
you guys all need to chill larry is a great dad and a great guy he is down to earth and mellow and is tired of the media having all the answers. lisa is not even his girlfriend
Thank you Jill, are you and I the only ones that agree on this thing? I agree Larry is doing a good job raising Dannilynn and she is a very happy baby. People should pay more attention to everything that is going on. I for one read and listen to everything I can where these 3 are concerned (Larry, Dannielynn and Howard). I don't think Anna hated Larry, she was just a confused woman who was on something most of the time that kept her mind messed up. Why was she sending Larry emails telling him she still loved him, etc. up until right before she died? She was manipulated by Howard because he didn't want her with Larry.
He can't even hold her correctly, so what makes you think he is raising her correctly?
Find one picture where he holds this baby facing him. He holds her like a bag of groceries.
I wonder if he invited the press to this "getaway" vacation since he seems willing to exploit his daughter in every other way.
LEAVE LARRY ALONE...he is raising Dannielynn correctly....LETS FOCUS ON THE PATHETIC WAY THAT ANS DIED...HK$ SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE...& Dr. Perper should be struck off!!!
Maybe she looks that way because he grabbed her from the nanny once he saw the cameras.
She just may not know Larry as well as her nanny.
Pic of Larry and friend Lisa before he noticed the cameras?http://dailyblabber.ivillage.c...
Larry,On taking it Easy,Yes you need to get away ,But you should try to go to some place where no one can see you and Dannielyn,she looks like she is crying or scared,Take good care of her and stay SAFE???

Forest fire breaks out at Wilgus State ParkStaff Report | May 01,2013ASCUTNEY - About 20 trucks from many local fire departments responded to a forest fire Wednesday afternoon near Wilgus State Park.
The fire started around 1 p.m. and firefighters got it under control by 3:30 p.m., according to Ascutney Fire Chief Darrin Spaulding.
The fire had spread to about 3 acres before it was controlled, he said.
The chief said he believed the fire was started by motorcyclists at the scene off Route 5 south of Ascutney, across from Wilgus State Park.
Other forest or brush fires were also reported in Windsor and nearby Cornish, N.H., as well as in Hardwick in northern Vermont.
Spaulding said he had received instructions from the state level not to issue any further burn permits due to dry conditions.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in... Full StoryHoliday Festival Full StorySpeed blamed Full Story

Dining with 1 Year Old
- p
- panthercooks Jun 11, 2013 07:43 PM
My husband and I will be in town for 3 days next week. Our 1 year old will be with us and I'm looking for lunch and dinner suggestions that would please all of us. We are open to anything, but are especially interested in seafood, Chinese, and Italian. I'd like to keep it within a 30 min. walk from Granary Burying Ground near where we are staying, but would hop on the T for something spectacular.
Is your 1 year old mobile? It gets to be very hard to eat out around that age.. especially if they refuse to be confined to the carrier or high chair.
Maybe Legal Harborside - take the Red Line to South Station, then the Silver line over to the Seaport District. Island Creek Oyster Bar is also good. I think an infant in Neptune Oyster in the North End would be tough. You are also close to Bistro Du Midi, which I've enjoyed..
You are within walking distance of lots of options depending on how formal/informal you want to be re: dinner. Chinatown is 1/4 mile or so away with a full range of good choices: Winsor, Xinh Xinh for Vietnamese, Great Dumpling House, etc. Sultan's Kitchen is Turkish, Silvertone is a good bistro, Charles street has multiple choices including ice cream shops and coffee houses. Upscale and near are everything from Via Matta, Marliave, Toscano, Number 9 Park. Some of these are not places I would bring a mobile one year old to visit, but you know your child and his or her capacity for sitting still. I believe there is now a sandwich shop in Boston Commons but I haven't tried it so I don't know whether it's worthwhile.
Thanks for the recommendations so far! He's just 12 months old (not walking yet) and is still happy to be in a high chair for 45 minutes or so. He goes out to eat at home at least once a week, so he's accustomed to that routine. However, we would need any prospective eateries to either have high chairs or be a stand up place where he can be in the carrier (he refuses to stay in the carrier if we are sitting down).
Gourmet Dumpling House and Dumpling Cafe are both very good in Chinatown, but can be busy and close quarters. I wouldn't recommend any hot pot or shabu shabu with an infant nearby.
A few ideas from the dad of a fellow 1 year old:
You'll be a short and lovely walk through the Common from Four Burgers on Boylston St. This is a mini-Boston/Cambridge chain with delicious salmon, beef, turkey, and veggie burgers. Very kid-friendly with high chairs and plenty of seating, and a kids' menu that gives a great deal on the same stuff the grownups get. My son loved the house-made veggie burger and a few nibbles of the sweet potato fries as a treat. Easy to get in and out in 45 minutes. You order at the counter and they bring you the food, which is my favorite style for dining out with the little guy.
I'd echo Xinh Xinh as my favorite in Chinatown.
Other great options with a longer walk or the T at least one-way:
Flour Bakery right next door to the Children's Museum (probably a 25-30 minute walk, or 2 stops on the Red Line from Park St to South Station and a 10 minute walk.
Kendall Square has a bunch of great restaurants (see other threads, ranging from food trucks to Za to more upscale like Area Four or Legal Seafoods - though there are other Legal locations closer to you) that tend to be more spacious than downtown and thus easier to manage with a baby. The Red Line goes right there, or you could do a long (30-40 minute) but beautiful walk from where you're staying over the Longfellow Bridge.
For Italian, you're walkable from the North End, or a quick few stops on the Green Line. I don't have a good take on which places there are more baby friendly, but I'd say of the ones I went to pre-baby Antico Forno is a good potential choice -- relatively quick service and less jammed than some others. Ernesto's or Regina Pizza would be a great lunch option.
re: kenner83
The Flour next to the Hancock bldg might be closer. Lots of strollers there.
re: C. Hamster
True - plus a funky new playground right across the street, and the walk there would go through the Common and the Public Garden (or take the T 2 stop to Arlington). The one next to the Children's Museum would obviously make sense if the OP wants to go to the museum, though.
There was recently a thread on this exact topic, and the OP wrote back to let us know how it went:
Hope this is helpful!
re: Science Chick
Thanks for the link. I did see this thread when I did an archive search, but since the OP had already narrowed the selection down quite a bit I thought I would post more generally. It is great to hear first hand experience though.
And for good Italian, try Scampo in the Liberty Hotel.. a fun place to visit just since it used to be a prison. But its the kind of meal that's multiple courses, so your kid might pop. Perhaps lunch..
Thanks for all of the great suggestions! We ate wonderfully on this trip! A trip report follows and I've tried to include stroller/high chair info in case that helps any families out down the road…
Day One:
Snack- Boston Chowda: Heavy rain necessitated an impromptu visit to Quincy Market, so we tried the New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque. Both were nice, especially the chowder.
Dinner- Gourmet Dumpling House: We ordered scallion pancakes, mini juicy pork dumplings, and Sliced Fish Szechwan style. The pancakes were good, but I felt a bit overrated. The dumplings were probably my favorite dish of the trip, so tender and flavorful! The fish was the perfect level of heat for us and way more than we could eat. We only waited about 10 minutes for a table around 6:30 on a weekday. The restaurant is tiny, so we went without a stroller.
Day Two:
Breakfast- Mike's Pastry: Ordered almond biscotti and a lobster tail. Both were good and the shop was mostly empty at 9:00. Baby was given an anise biscotti by the counter staff, which he inhaled.
Lunch- Regina Pizzeria: Had the #10 Margherita and #20 Napoletana (Anchovy and Capers). Both were fantastic. This was the best pizza that we have had outside of Italy. There was no wait at 1:30, but it was crowded. We also did not have the stroller with us and would not have wanted it in here.
Dinner- Fenway Park: Grabbed some Legal Chowder and a Fenway Frank at the stadium. Both were fine. Again, no stroller.
Day Three:
Breakfast- Flour (Four Point Channel): My husband ordered a bacon & egg sandwich and loved the Dijon horseradish sauce. I had the French toast with bacon. The French toast was excellent, but the bacon was way overcooked. It was obvious they dumped it in a fryer and I much prefer it off a flat top. We split a sticky bun too, which lived up to the hype for us. Sign outside said that strollers were not allowed during "busy hours." We ate outside, but there were a couple of families with babies eating inside as well. There were highchairs available.
Lunch- Legal Seafoods (Long Wharf): We started with raw oysters and both ordered lobster rolls. I liked that the meat was in large chunks and minimally dressed. It all tasted great to us, but we are 900 miles away from the nearest ocean at home. They were very accommodating to our little guy, holding the stroller in the lobby for us while we dined outside and bringing a high chair.
Dinner- Xihn Xihn: Great Vietnamese! I ordered the Banh Hoi Bo Nuong (beef vermicelli wraps) and my hubby got the Bun Heo Nuong (grilled pork vermicelli). Both were light, fresh, and flavorful, everything you want Vietnamese food to be. This was a small place, but had highchairs and would have had room for a stroller if necessary.
Day Four:
Breakfast- Modern Pastry: We picked up some almond biscotti and a sfogliatelle. I preferred the texture of Mike's biscotti, but enjoyed the flavor of Modern's better. Baby adored the sfogliatelle!
Lunch- Dino's (North End): Great little counter-service restaurant. We both got the Dino's Special (capicola, mozzarella, tomato, basil, balsamic). It was so simple, but the ingredients were great quality, so it made for an awesome lunch. Dine-in customers were sparse, so we were able to work this with the stroller. They seem to do a healthy carry-out business.

What a fantastic after-report.

Made in the USA, CobraCo™ 14 Inch EcoLiner™ is a high-quality hanging basket liner that is better for plants, better for you, and better for the earth. Made from recycled paper products, EcoLiner™ is completely biodegradable, yet strong enough to support your plants. The EcoLiner™ also retains 30% more water requiring 50% less watering than plants in a coco-lined basket. Thanks to the sturdy construction of the EcoLiner™ you will have an attractive looking, well-maintained hanging basket all season-long.
Each 14-inch basket is made from vinyl-coated steel to provide rust-resistance for seasons of enjoyable use. The baskets also have a powder-coated steel chain to make hanging easy from any location.
About EcoLiner™
A new solution for gardeners who love hanging baskets has just been introduced by Avant Garden® Decor.
The EcoLiner™ is a paper mache liner; fabricated from recycled corrugate.
The benefits of using EcoLiner™ in your hanging baskets include:
EcoLiner™ Test Results
A study was recently conducted on the EcoLiner™ and Coco Liner products to determine the ability of each to retain water. Using a program written to mimic an average summer day, a Coco LIner and an EcoLiner™ were filled with 5 liters of dirt and 2.5 liters of water. Runoff was collected and measured after the initial soaking. Three days after watering, the EcoLiner™ retained 30% more water than the Coco Liner. By reducing high runoff and evaporation rates, the EcoLiner™ is able to retain more water, which can lead to a 50% reduction in watering.

Every year I plant several hanging baskets in my garden. I love the look of coco, but I have been a slave to the watering can; miss a day this time of year and the plants are toast. I tried EcoLiners for the first time and what a DIFFERENCE! They are just as naturally beautiful and my watering time has been reduced to every third day. Thank you CobraCo for such an innovation!
There is not a whole lot to these - the iron or steel or whatever metal is used for the frame is fairly sturdy. The black chains are great and didn't get twisted up but weren't stiff either like some of the ones I've seen. The eco liners are really just a kind of cardboard to keep the soil in which actually helps keep things out while still allowing the soil to breathe and not get overhot like the plastic hanging containers would. I gave a set to my mother for mother's day and she planted strawberries inside it which actually turned out kind of adorable.

text: MediScare Fail: Romney Leads in Florida Print article Send a Tip by Mike Flynn 16 Aug 2012 post a comment The media and Democrats gleefully greeted the announcement of Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney's running mate with dire predictions of doom for the GOP ticket. Ryan's plan to strengthen Medicare through reform was deemed "too radical" for much of the voting public, especially seniors. The pick, anonymous GOP "sources" fretted, would probably swing the critical state of Florida into Obama's column. It hasn't worked out that way. In a poll released today by Rasmussen, Romney's support in the state as inched up since the last survey. He now leads Obama by 2 points, 45-43. For decades, Democrats have dined out on scaring seniors that Republicans would slash either their Social Security or Medicare benefits. From the odious Rep. Claude Pepper in the 80s to the noxious "granny-getting-pushed-off-a-cliff" ad today, it has been the Democrats most effective play in interest group politics. Most of their charges were woven out of whole cloth, but with an actual plan to reform Medicare on the table, put forward by Romney's VP pick, it seemed like the tactic would take center-stage in this year's campaign. But, a lot of things have changed over the last decade. Most importantly, seniors have become much more Republican then they used to be. In fact, they provide one of the strongest blocks of support for Romney. Before the Ryan pick, Rasmussen found Romney leading Obama by 17 points. Since the Ryan pick, Romney's support among seniors has increased. Today, Romney leads Obama by 24 points among those 65 and older. Another problem for Democrats is that they've already enacted $700 billion in cuts from Medicare to pay for ObamaCare. It is one thing to demagogue what Ryan's plan will do, in theory, to Medicare. It is something else entirely to have already done something that will dramatically weaken the program. Among all age groups, 48% of Floridians said they were more worried about ObamaCare's impact on Medicare. 41% were more worried about Ryan's plan. Among seniors though, the gulf was striking. 54% of seniors were more worried about ObamaCare, while 34% were more worried about Ryan's proposals. So far, the MediScare tactic isn't working. But, you don't need a poll to see this. Recently, the media and Democrats have started attacking Ryan on issues other than Medicare. They're combing through his past votes and trying to make issues out of contraception and abortion. They wouldn't be doing this if the Medicare issue were working. Follow me on twitter

The issue opens with an engaging introductory article by Jürgen Rüland and Mikko Huotari, "Context, Concepts and Comparison in Southeast Asian Studies," in which the authors provide an overview of this Special Issue's objectives: to advance the agenda of context-sensitive and methodologically reflected Comparative Area Studies (CAS) and to infuse new meaning into the embattled genre of Area Studies. Here the authors argue that the challenges of comparative research provide a productive ground for exchange in interdisciplinary Southeast Asian Studies. They then expand on the contributing authors' arguments by providing a typology of comparative research practice that captures the value of various forms of Area studies comparisons and reflecting on the conceptual preconditions for fruitful comparisons.
In the issue's second paper, "Context and Method in Southeast Asian Politics," author Thomas Pepinsky introduces and evaluates a central debate about context sensitivity in Southeast Asian political studies, developing the idea of unit context (traditionally, the area studies concern) and population context (traditionally, the comparative politics concern) as parallel organizing principles in Southeast Asian political studies. The core distinction between the two is the assumption of unit homogeneity, or comparability across units. While a diverse Southeast Asian political studies—embracing many disciplines and many methodologies—is possible, unit context and population context are fundamentally incommensurate as frameworks for approaching Southeast Asian politics.
This is followed by Amitav Acharya's article, "Remaking Southeast Asian Studies: Doubt, Desire and the Promise of Comparisons." In his contribution, Acharya challenges Southeast Asian specialists to rise above the false dichotomy between area studies and disciplinary approaches and recognize the value of comparisons. Comparative studies within and between regions can help Southeast Asian studies meet the challenges from globalization and discipline-based approaches and overcome the self-doubt among its scholars about the field's authenticity, quality and relevance. To this end, it outlines two directions: 'transnational area studies' and 'disciplinary regional studies.'
Next, is Erik Martinez Kuhonta's "Southeast Asia and Comparative-Historical Analysis: Region, Theory, and Ontology on a Wide Canvas." Here the author seeks to assess the contributions and key characteristics of comparative-historical analysis in the field of Southeast Asian studies. It does so by examining three specific issues that emerge from this methodological genre: the conceptualization of the region of Southeast Asia, the role of theory, and the emphasis on macro structural ontology. These issues are analyzed in three disciplines: political science, history, and anthropology.
The following article, "Modular Comparisons: Grounding and Gauging Southeast Asian Governance" by Christian von Lübke, argues that analytical tensions between comparability and distinctiveness, which often drive a wedge between disciplinary and area-studies debates, are not irreconcilable. Drawing on original research of public governance in Southeast Asia, the discussion blends different levels of analytical scope and abstraction—offering a valuable methodological instrument for cross-fertilizing empirical depth and breadth. The combination of within-case and cross-case analyses provides a systematic and contextually grounded perspective on 'what makes governments work' in the region.
Closing out this Special Issue is a concluding article by Donald Emmerson, "The Spectrum of Comparisons: A Discussion." Here the author posits that Area studies can benefit from a "comparative turn" toward more cross-case research provided it does not marginalize scholarly knowledge that is local or locally acquired. The challenge is not only how to manage comparisons consistently in search of generalized findings that are more than the artifacts of a reductive design, but also how to cultivate openness to unrefined comparisons through immersive experiences involving a specific place on behalf of insights that resonate beyond their point of origin. The ways of drawing instructive contrasts and similarities across and within cases are richly varied and potentially complementary. Emmerson argues that methodological pluralism is essential to sustaining that spectrum of comparisons, and with it the health of scholarship on Southeast Asia or any other part of Asia or the world.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The primary teachers are great. However, there is an over abundance of heavily accented bilingual teachers aids. While this may not be a major issue for some, it gets to be a major issue when there are the ones in charge of helping students read and spell. Another issue is lack of help when a student has a learning disability. And forget about trying to get a call back from the person in charge of learning disability testing. The nurse is very rude and loves to boundry stomp on a parents wishes and rights. The principle is a very nice woman, but could stand to make some changes in staffing and maybe get some fluent english speaking teachers Aids to help those students who do not speak spanish and still need some extra help. Ms. Howell teaches Kindergarten and is simply amazing-very sweet, very helpful, such a smart lady and has not lost her spark and love of teaching, my son absolutely loved and enjoyed her class... My opinion though, dont move to springfield, dont put your kids in springfield schools. The whole district is terrible overall.

text: Gay Adoption Story to Power 'Two and a Half Men's' Final Season Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart News 17 Jul 2014 post a comment Chuck Lorre's veteran sitcom Two and a Half Men isn't a button-pushing comedy in the All in the Family mold--even if Lorre himself often makes news with his Vanity Card pronouncements. That may change during its final season on CBS, according to The Hollywood Reporter. CBS Entertainment chair Nina Tassler says the show's 12th and final season will feature Ashton Kutcher's straight character proposing to Alan (Jon Cryer) and trying to adopt a child. She shared the news during the Television Critics Association's summer press tour. He wants to find a way to add more meaning to his life, so he decides he wants to adopt a child and in doing so, he starts the process and realizes that it's very difficult to adopt a child as a single, straight man," Tassler said. "So once and for all he decides, 'I'm going to propose to Alan [Jon Cryer] and we're going to get married and adopt a child as a gay couple." She called the story a "great ride," and said that she views the storyline as a "very positive statement" about the wave of gay rights that are becoming more commonplace across the country and that she's not worried about any sort of blowback from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.... The decision to explore gay adoption — and potentially marriage — comes a year after the series added Amber Tamblyn as a regular, playing Charlie's long-lost lesbian daughter. Something viewers won't see during the show's final episodes--a return from former star Charlie Sheen. Tassler ruled out a Sheen cameo.

Zito passes physical, making $126 million deal official
SAN FRANCISCO -- True to form, Barry Zito had a little fun when quizzed about how he might alter his style now that he has the richest contract for a pitcher in baseball history.
"I'm just thinking of canning the curveball. Other than that, nothing major," Zito joked Friday, when his $126 million, seven-year contract with the San Francisco Giants became official.
Barry Zito's reported deal of seven years and $126 million with the Giants would tie
Vernon Wells' new deal as the sixth richest in the history of the sport. Figures are from player and management sources and include all guaranteed income but not income from potential incentive bonuses. There is no distinction for money deferred without interest.
|Player, club
|Alex Rodriguez, TEX-NYY
|Derek Jeter, NYY
|Manny Ramirez, BOS
|Todd Helton, COL
|Alfonso Soriano, CHC
|Barry Zito, SFG
|Vernon Wells, TOR
|Mike Hampton, COL-ATL
|Jason Giambi, NYY
|Carlos Beltran, NYM
|Ken Griffey Jr., CIN
|Kevin Brown, LAD-NYY
|Carlos Lee, HOU
|Albert Pujols, STL
The former AL Cy Young Award winner passed his physical Friday, the last step in the process for the star left-hander to make the move across San Francisco Bay to the Giants. He is scheduled to be formally introduced at the team's waterfront ballpark Wednesday.
He's keeping his nasty curveball, along with the No. 75 he's been wearing.
"I'd say this is the most important signing we've had since we first signed Barry Bonds back in late 1992," owner Peter Magowan said Friday. "It means that much to the franchise and the future of the franchise. We don't make this kind of deal every year or every five years. It takes a very special player."
A player the Giants are convinced will stay healthy -- he has never missed a start -- lead their young pitching staff and help turn around a team that has missed the playoffs the past three seasons. The Giants are serious about winning a World Series after falling six outs short of the title in 2002.
That's the same year Zito won 23 games for the Oakland Athletics on his way to the Cy Young Award.
While Zito had prepared himself for a potential move out of the Bay Area and California, he had a good feeling after his first meeting with San Francisco. He appreciated the honesty he sensed from the Giants' top brass when they met for a long dinner after Thanksgiving in Beverly Hills.
"I know I made the right decision for how it sits in my gut here," Zito said. "There's really no adjustment period. ... I think it was primarily the honesty and my instincts were telling me I was getting some standup guys who were being up front. There weren't a lot of games being played, no mind games. This is my first run at this."
The fact he didn't have to travel far in free agency was attractive, too -- just across the Bay Bridge to the city where he lived for most of his first seven big league seasons with the A's.
Zito said that if he'd been weighing identical offers from the Giants, New York Mets, Texas and Seattle, he still likely would have chosen San Francisco based primarily on his comfort level with the area. The Mets, thought for some time to be the leader in the chase for Zito, wouldn't budge on a five-year offer.
Zito has some serious job security.
"It's a lot of years," he said. "I'm just so thankful that there's such a commitment there -- thankful they would go out on a limb and trust my work ethic. I guarantee I'll do all the things to stay healthy. That kind of commitment is not something that a lot of people get."
His deal includes an $18 million option for 2014 with a $7 million buyout that could increase the value of his deal to $137 million. The option would become guaranteed if Zito pitches 200 innings in 2013, 400 combined over 2012 and 2013 or 600 combined from 2011-13. He also has a full no-trade clause.
The contract ties for the sixth largest overall, matching the $126 million, seven-year extension agreed to this month by Toronto and center fielder Vernon Wells. The Giants were looking for someone to fill the void left when ace Jason Schmidt departed earlier this month for the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.
The only thing this deal does is make the Giants look ridiculous. Granted, Zito's ERA will get a boost from the National League and the Giants' home ballpark. And this one isn't as dumb as the Mike Hampton deal with the Rockies. But based on the facts at hand, this looks to me like one of the dumber free-agent signings ever. Zito just isn't very good. And if he's worth $18 million per season, Santana's worth $25 million.

"This was a definite want and need on the part of our ballclub," general manager Brian Sabean said. "On a whole, everybody in the organization, including the players, are beside themselves for what this means for the organization."
Zito is determined to become a better hitter considering his at-bats will be far greater in the National League. He has one hit in 29 career at-bats and plans to take any advice he can from Bonds, who agreed to a $16 million, one-year contract to return to the Giants for a 15th season.
The 42-year-old Bonds is 22 home runs from passing home run king Hank Aaron's all-time record of 755. Zito expects the two Barrys to co-exist nicely.
"To play with Barry Bonds is something I think every guy would want to do," said Zito, flattered to be talked about in the same breath as the seven-time NL MVP. "It gave me chills actually. It's great to be mentioned in the same sentence as Barry Bonds. I used to watch Barry growing up."
Zito insists all the money won't affect him and he will remain focused on his job: getting batters out and staying ready every fifth day.
He said that "when you try to become some superhuman cartoon character ... that's when things go wrong."
The 28-year-old Zito, a three-time All-Star, was a 16-game winner in 2006 and helped the A's win the AL West and reach their first AL championship series since 1992. Oakland GM Billy Beane knew he had little chance at re-signing Zito, who will lead a rotation also featuring Matt Cain, Noah Lowry and Matt Morris. The No. 5 spot is still to be determined.
"I think it's a great addition," Morris said. "Barry is an upper-echelon pitcher who is going to go out every fifth day. He's very reliable and durable and gives you a chance to win every time out. It's a ton of money, but that's what they're paying. I think it's great."

November 28, 2014
A Verona woman has been cited for drunken driving after the 21-year-old allegedly caused three crashes in less than three hours.
Authorities say the woman acknowledged being responsible for all three collisions in Dane and Green Counties. She was cited for causing injury by driving while intoxicated. A Wisconsin State Journal report (http://bit.ly/TmIZ0b ) says she wasn't taken to jail.
Deputies say the collisions happened Friday between about 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
In one case the woman allegedly sideswiped another vehicle's side-view mirror after the other driver swerved to avoid a head-on collision. In another case, the woman allegedly crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with another vehicle, causing minor injuries to one person.
In the third case, the woman allegedly ran into a ditch but left before authorities arrived.

Children's Home Society of Washington raised $6,200 for a local child abuse prevention program, said Kelly Bray, marketing communications manager.
On April 10, Children's Home Society of Washington and WalMart Associate Volunteer Program 2476 co-sponsored the community-wide Relay for Hope "Walk Away Child Abuse" event to support the prevention of child abuse and spread awareness that a strong family supports the development of healthy children.
All proceeds will benefit the HomeTeam Parent Aide Program, a partnership with the Exchange Club of Walla Walla and CHSW.
Held at Borleske Stadium, the walk drew 100 community members, 47 of whom were children. Youngsters enjoyed the Kid Olympics, gunny sack races and football toss, Kelly said. Beginners Mind Martial Arts, a local martial arts school, gave a demonstration for the kids.
The family of Tara and Keith Crain, Jeromy Kerby, Kayla Crain and Brie Green, had such a strong passion for child abuse prevention that they walked seven miles, or 28 laps around the track.
Sixty-eight WalMart associates volunteered more than 400 hours for the Relay for Hop. In recognition of their volunteer hours, WalMart Foundation donated $5,000 to support child abuse prevention. The event raised an additional $1,200 dollars in registration fees and food sales.
The Seattle Pacific University 2010 winter quarter dean's list includes Kira Louise Hendricksen of Dayton. Students on the dean's list have completed at least 12 credits and attained a 3.50 or higher grade point average.
A 30-plus year Milton-Freewater resident, Cuco suffered a stroke at age 30, which resulted in mental and physical damage. His physician prescribed aqua therapy in the Y's warm-water pools and so he began working on recovery seven years ago.
The YMCA staff also looked for alternate methods to address his physical limitations. Former Y staffer Tom Keller noticed Cuco's diligence and trained him on the weight machines. Tom said Cuco was " ... a pleasure to help because he works so hard."
Fiercely independent, Cuco has been fighting his way back to health ever since the stroke. He also enjoys helping others.
"God has helped me so much through the YMCA that is why I thank God for all the help and opportunities."
He reaches out to people beyond awareness with his kind heart. He credits staff members for assessing his needs and constantly moving him forward.
"The Y helps in two ways, mentally and physically. I will never surrender my hopes."
The YMCA strives to reach out to people in need of the mind, body and spirit connection.

Sugar. Spice. Everything Nice. These were the ingredients used to create the basic bitch. And The Power Puff Girls. #basicbetchproblem
I think my jeans say everything by saying nothing #basicbetchproblem
So I shouldn't try Christian Mingle? #basicbetchproblem
People on Instagram Sing Sia's "Chandelier"
It all started when I was trying to take a really cool picture of myself in reflection of the glass on my balcony. It was pretty successful until I noticed my chandelier was in the background where the ocean should have been.
Obviously I #chandelier and upon exploring what that hashtag had to offer, I found so many great covers of the Sia song. God Bless.
She was actually kind of good, but just not here.
I was nervous this girl was going to start screaming a la "Psycho Girl Tries to Sing I Will Always Love You"
C'est la Vie?
I really appreciated Tony's cover because he accidentally harmonized with his cat in the end.
I'm pretty sure this is the guy from "Botched" who spent $100G trying to look like Justin Bieber.
Is this a guy or a girl?
Chandelier sounds weird on an organ.
Let's just let the kid from Dance Mom's do her.
No seriously, I'm actually really busy #basicbetchproblem
Instagram's Best Repsonses to V. Stiviano
I'm really glad V. Stiviano decided to sabotage her boss because this Donald Sterling saga has entertained me in way that Malaysian Flight 370 hasn't in months. As some of you know, I went home to Washington D.C. for mother's day and one very jet lagged night, I had this horrific epiphany. For a fleeting moment, I felt meaningless and empty, like I was this basic bitch who was as deep as a puddle. Like I was V. Stiviano. It became very clear on my 6 hour flight form DC to LA that Donald Sterling was more than some rotting sack, sippin' on some crazy juice. You can hate rap music and other cultures, that's your prerogative, but hating on Magic Johnson? How dare you.
If there's one thing that freedom of speech and the internet have created, it's nonsense. Excessive and hilarious nonsense. Here's Instagram's best response to V. Stiviano, off her very own Instagram account.
It starts off with people just throwing regular shade like "gold digger" or "tranny", adjectives everyone uses when they describe V. Stiv. We all have opinions and it's very important that we share these eloquent and private details on public platforms.
After we brainstormed adjectives, girls were all "you're a fugly slut".
But then we got super aggressive with the insults we were throwing out. I mean suuuuuper aggressive (and super creative).
And of course we had to bring race into this… BTW, I'm not really sure what a sucubas is, but it sounds like something I would get offended over.
So after we established she was an ugly, but very sexually active, gold-digging tranny, with plastic surgery and who multiple races were disassociating themselves from, we decided she was unfit for motherhood and presidency.
But then we decided that offering life advice would be much more beneficial towards creating a world free from V Stiviano.
And then people just started asking for sex, because if you've had sex with Donald Sterling, literally anything still breathing is a step up.
But some people weren't into internet shaming V. Stiv, some people don't know when to shut up. I hope you get arthritis in your thumbs.
I'm over V. Stiv, little rabbits and self proclaimed fabulous bodies.
#stressed not #blessed
I feel a lot of pressure to be perfect, not in real life, but on social media. Take Facebook, is it just me or somewhere in the new Terms & Agreement does it state your profile pic has to be professionally done and get 60 likes in the first hour (that's a like per minute). Does everyone have a friend with a Canon EOS to capture all these magical, candid, care-free moments for you to choose from? Your photos are incredible, and then there's me, a blurry picture where I hammer a pen into a cork because desperate times call for desperate measures. I love my picture, but I have to stay competitive with my super-fit and super photogenic sorority sisters… and those bitches from high school. So now I get stressed because not only does my profile picture not seem "care-free" and "jealousy-enducing", but as a college grad, it needs some semblance of professionalism so my boss doesn't ask me "what kind of message" I want to send to my co-workers. Sidenote: I blocked her. I still need to post everything I'm doing to prove I have the lifestyle of the Jenners girls, the work ethic of Frank Underwood and Bad Girl Riri's attitude. The icing on the cake is another girl got engaged and I really can't deal with another 4,000 posts detailing every second of it. There should be some sort of engagement-ettiquate class so your single friends don't fantasize about breaking your ring with an ice pick.
Then there's LinkedIn, which in all honesty, does anyone even care about your LinkedIn? I bet I could put "assistant to cat and professional poop thrower" and no one would bat an eye. It's all fun and games until I get requests from old acquaints who apparently run Goldman Sachs at 25 and didn't need 4 google searches to correctly spell "acquaints". As I update my LinkedIn, which looks nicer than my actual resume, I add every highlight in my work career. I'm talking babysitting in the 7th grade, for not just any family of 4, but the Vice President of the United States. I mean no one is actually going to read this right? They're just going to look at the heading, find someone way to re-evaluate their self-worth and then move on. It's fine if I "babysat" Joe Biden's kids, who are actually many years my senior. What are you, some sort of fact-checking historian?
No you're not.
I know this from reading your LinkedIn and then googling you to make sure you weren't lying. So in addition to adding details like, "worked with the entire cast of How I Met Your Mother", which really means I saw them once on set, or currently dating Joseph Gordon Levitt, which translates to "held the door open", I have become a professional bragger. It is really #stressful to exasperate career highlights like this! I need a #vacation.
Speaking of #vacation, I see that you recently traveled to St. Kitts/ St. Barts/ St. Croix/ any beautiful island with "Saint" in the title, via your Instagram. I thought the more followers I had, the more likes would come but that has proven to be the opposite. I get like no likes, ok like 15, and then stress out whether or not I should delete the photo because it's embarrassing. How stupid is that?! On a serious note, my blog's instagram whose following consists of spammers and porn stars, gets more likes than most of my photos. I am stressing out over my "popularity" on social media, which in no way is in direct correlation with my relationships in real life. Rather, it's a test to see how well my family, friends and co-workers can operate their smart phones. Never mind that I'm probably the only person who looks at my own Instagram with any sort of critic, but who knows, I could have hidden enemies out there that thrive on the fact that I got 15 likes and they got 123. It's quality not quantity! Right?
Also when did everyone become a model? I recently discovered you had a professional photographer around you at all times, but seriously, have you always had Kate Upton's boobs and Britney's abs circa 2003? I was not aware that Victoria's Secret could call you at any second and you'd be runway ready. When did I become more Lena Dunham and less Brooklyn Decker? The answer is birth.
So here I am stressing about my Facebook/ LinkedIn/ Instagram when I get a notification that my phone is almost out of memory and I can't save this super artsy pic of me next to some Venice graffiti, which would have gotten at least 40 likes. Stupid iPhone! I have no memory because I have 6, yes SIX, different Photoshop apps! It's not just about taking a picture, it's the ability to turn that picture of a piece of trash on the Venice boardwalk, add a fish eye, sharpen and filter it until it has the bright colors of the tropical island you were just traveling on and becomes something Francesca Eastwood would set on fire.
Annoyed, and trying to figure out how to take the perfect picture, I stumble onto Pintrest which apparently is not the same thing as Tumblr.
Pinterest confuses me the most because it consists of beautiful models, cake and relationships advice. It's like how basic can you bitches get? I already see enough couples making out on the beach in real life so seeing well dressed girls aimlessly walking on streets eating cronuts just annoys me. Attention world, if you are going to make the cronut recipe you saw on Pinterest, you are probably not going to look like the white girls in ridiculously skimpy bikinis next to it.
So now I'm back to Instagram because this super sunset with an Ernest Hemmingway quote might be the photo I've been looking for. UPDATE: it's not and everyone still looks like a model and averages 100 likes per photo.
Needing a laugh and a lot of wine, I turn to Vine. Apparently EVERYONE is a professional comedian in addition to being a model, with a ridiculous resume, and a metabolism 4x faster than the normal rate.
I try to find some solace in Twitter, because I only use that for the news, but nothing is getting Favorited or Retweeted. Then I realize the only things on my twitter account are retweets of @whitegrlproblems and me being drunk. Did I mention I'm a basic bitch?
Now I'm back to Facebook to post a photo I not only Photoshopped, picstiched and Instagramed, but also emailed to myself due to the lack of memory on my phone. My Instagram didn't get enough likes, I'm not funny, my twitter is unoriginal, my Facebook picture don't get the like per minute guarenteed in the new Terms & Agreement. My phone is running out of battery in addition to memory because running all these stupid apps is a complete waste of energy, but, oh wait now I'm up to 30 likes so I am validated.
So forget having a successful career, making lots of money, financial independence, having a boyfriend, eating and exercising, having hobbies, playing sports, talking to people or anything interactive because my life is completely validated through my social media interactions or lack there of. You can Google me and I come up. Take that insta-slut!
Let me know if you find a good therapy app because I now lack the communication skills to tell a doctor of my growing anxiety. I can only text ,and honestly, I'm not getting a great wi-fi connection in here so it looks like I'll be using SMS, which is #totes going to drag this conversation on by a good 10 minutes. Ugh. #FML
Confessions of a Basic Bitch
I'll admit, when I first started using the phrase "basic bitch", I have very little understanding of what that phrase actually meant. It's like slang and that's all I needed to know. I began writing about basic bitches, what they did on an average Tuesday, survival tips for music festivals they'd likely attend, and obviously I followed a shit ton of basic bitches on Insta. I may not have known much about basic bitches, but I knew that basic bitches loved insta. They would probably quote that against a the silhouette of a girl splashing in the water and get 1000 likes in 5 minutes. Basic bitches love quotes and they love skinny girls at the beach.
One day I was asked to define what a basic bitch was. I couldn't. So I looked it up.
The first entry on urban dictionary described a basic bitch phrased so eloquently they could be the second verse of a Nikki Minaj song. I was not that basic bitch. The second entry described someone who was dull and low energy. That was also not me. The third entry, described a girl who "thought she was the shit because she owned material goods and also believed she held a higher standard than regular people".
Was I this basic bitch?
After little deliberation, I decided, I indeed, met the qualifications of that basic bitch. How did I become this basic bitch? Had my years at an elite private school where I took AP Art History and Calculus led me to believe I was somehow smarter than those around me? Maybe it was because I was one of the 8 people who purchased Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring". Had seeing those narcissistic, kleptomaniacs with hot bods made me think I was one of them? The more I researched "Basic Bitches", the more I realized I was one of them. I am the proud owner of a North Face, take great comfort in my LuLu Lemon yoga pants and own black Uggs. This is what I am wearing right now. I am so basic.
I love Sex & the City. Sometimes I skip work outs and once called in sick to work because there was a six hour marathon on E!
I tweeted at Rihanna… because I noticed her Instagram was missing.
BREAKING NEWS: CNN now reporting @rihanna Instagram account is somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
— Libby de Leon (@schlibby) May 10, 2014
I own the book version of "He's Just Not That Into You" and I read it quite frequently.
I celebrated the 10th anniversary of Mean Girls by wearing pink on a Wednesday. I didn't wear my hair in a ponytail because I had done that earlier in the week. I know the rules.
One time, I was drunk at a bar and in very broken Spanish tried to convince a dark, but non-Latino bartender that I was the heiress to de Leon Tequilla so I could get free shots. I even showed him my ID.
I went on one Tinder date and it was awful. I swore off dating. A week later, I downloaded Tinder.
I have a 4 foot poster of Britney Spears that hung above my bed all four years of college. It now hangs in my closet for thinspiration.
Not only do I follow Lauren Conrad on all forms of social media, but I also have an email subscription to her blog.
One time, I was having a bad day so I went to Sprinkles. I left with 4 cup cakes. I ate two while driving. This was last Thursday.
Kate Middleton is my religion.
And lastly, I consider myself to be the Third Olsen Twin (I'm going through an "Ashley" phase).
I was so disappointed in myself. How could I let this happen? I am better than this. I proudly eat gluten. I avoid "to be" verbs when I write. I'm not really sure what it means to be vegan (you just eat vegetables, right? Also epic fail on the avoidance of "to be" verbs). I read Vanity Fair for crying out loud. That is WAY above the average reading level of a basic bitch.
Then I remembered something important about myself. I hate Marilyn Monroe. I think she's a homewrecking, talentless, pill popper. Basic bitches LOVE Marilyn, they quote her all the time and totally ignore the goddess that is Jackie Kennedy Onassis. I knew in that moment that I would never be one of them. I immediately unfollowed every Victoria's Secret model and Vogue from Instagram. I picked up a Spanish dictionary. I am going to get through this.
Realizing you're a Basic Bitch is the first step in moving past the tendencies of a Basic Bitch. Kate Middleton will always be my religion, but I don't need 35 hashtags about it. It's fine to enjoy country music, but that doesn't mean I should start talking about "my upbringing" in a fake southern accent. And you know what, I think Carrie Bradshaw can be a total bitch. I mean seriously, Big over Aiden? Only a basic bitch would make that mistake. So now, I'm me, a real human being and a real hero. And you know how I know that? I own multiple songs off the Drive soundtrack.
You can take the basic out of the bitch, but you can't take the bitch out of basic.
What Does your Personalized License Plate Say About You? Part II
Since my first license plate post, people have been asking, where do you find these people. Some people in LA are so eccentric, I could do a post about personalized licenses plates every month. If you read the post about what your car says about you, then you know, people love using their automobile to make a statement.
So I think I will.
1. You're a stage mom. If being a mom is a business to you, your children are likely socially deprived child actors and you probably embarrass them when you ask people "didn't you see her on Disney?" The answer is usually "no", but I can't wait to watch her "transform" into an adult.
2. You're stuck in high school. This is it or This Zit? Either way I'm confused as to whether the end is near or you've embraced your teenage acne.
3. You've embraced your age. I like that about you.
4. You've settled. You would think this license plate would appear on the bumper of some $200,000 car (only if HOTSHOT is already taken), but it's humbling to know a Ford owner could be so content. Makes me want to go hug my car.
5. You're happy. I imagine Natasha Bedingfield will make a comeback album and this will be the title.
6. You've never seen Dateline. This white van with no windows, could be the new "kid in the candy truck" so to speak. Since America's youth clearly has an endless supply of candy, creepy men now lure kids with stylish clothing and Instagram followers.
7. You're a Republican. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions here, so let me rephrase, you're either a nice old church lady or from Oklahoma.
8. You still can't figure out what the Fox says. And like every 7-year-old in America, you won't stop playing this song until you've figured it out.
9. You're into dogs. I'm guessing you're one of the people who makes out with their dog.
10. You're a Yogi. This sounds like the catch phrase of the next Eastern religion fad.
11. You're Jewish. It's fine, it's LA, everyone is Jewish, why do you think they're driving a Toyota?
12. You've written a Pilot. This sounds like a bad sit-com about 3 boys living in an apartment. I also would like to tell the world the struggle it was to take this picture. I was on the 105 freeway in a complete standstill. It was 10 PM on a Friday night. There was no construction, just a mass exodus to the airport. I turned my lights off took the photo and turned my lights back on. Unfortunately the flash was on so I took a weird picture of my reflection in the front window. I made a second attempt. It was successful. End scene.
13. You're an Ahck-torh. Not just an actor, you've trained, you've been emotionally drained by a role, you've even been to England.
14. You're weak. I can't imagine that you're talking about your skin. I imagine the driver of this car to be an angry, divorced woman, who is license plate shaming her ex-husband.
15. You're a lady. Whether you're a lady in the streets or lady of the night, that one is up to the viewer.
I am lucky to live in a city where personalized license plate, eccentric egos and a never ending supply of characters are at my disposal.
