4, hands down. Epic sig, and it's Yay! ...Is that a Helium creation?
BTW, is Classy allowed to vote for Sig 1, and is Yay allowed to vote for #4? I haven't seen Ann or Ember active, at all. Ever. Maybe I'm just missing them...but regardless, would CvA and Yay voting for themselves count as cheating?

Sig #4...i really like it! Always a great work!
I voted for #3.It just popped more than the others. #4 runs a really close second though.

CHILLICOTHE, Ill. -- Chillicothe residents have a lot of questions when it comes to the future of their ambulance service. After being in limbo for months, they are starting to get more answers.
Last August, the Peoria Area EMS Review board suspended the license for Rescue 33, an all volunteer and free ambulance service in Chillicothe. Since then, AMT out of Peoria has taken over emergency calls.
Now Rescue 33 volunteers want to have their license reinstated. Rescue 33 President, Ron Hedden said they are in the midst of what he calls a "turf war" with AMT.
"We would prefer to have the chance to get back, get our license back and perform the way the EMS office expected us to. We deserve the right to have that chance," said Hedden.
The EMS Review Board directed Chillicothe officials to decide on the ambulance service they want to use going forward.
Hedden said, "We feel that's unfair on Chillicothe. We feel that should have been a community decision. Not to challenge what the EMS has asked, we have approached all the communities and have the community support, now we're seeking the city's support."
Several city officials said they do not want make the decision alone. They want to hear from the community.
Officials got plenty of community response on Thursday night at a public forum, with an overwhelming majority of residents in support of Rescue 33.
"They are a community-based ambulance service and they have been here for a very long time, and we want to keep them around," said Amber Chase, a long-time Chillicothe resident.
If selected and re-instated, Hedden said Rescue 33 would include full-time paid staff and would no longer be a free service.

Dodging Airline Fees the Hard Way
Susannah Snider – June 27, 2014
Brett Snyder, of CrankyFlier.com, says the biggest U.S. airlines may follow suit, possibly charging for carry-on bags and seat assignments.
Is the Airbus A380 This Generation's Concorde?
Robert Klara – June 24, 2014
"It's just too big for most airlines and most routes," said Brett Snyder, who tracks the airline industry at CrankyFlier.com. "The only airlines that really can use this airplane well are those in large, highly slot-restricted airports. British Airways should be the perfect target, but it only ordered a handful of these things."
American's new 777-300 planes bring luxury to long overseas flights
Andrea Ahles – June 22, 2014
Frequent fliers and high-spending business customers want two things on a long flight: aisle access and lie-flat seats, said Brett Snyder, founder of CrankyFlier.com. With the introduction of the Boeing 777-300ER, which has both features in business and first class, American is finally catching up to competitors United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, which already have lie-flat seats in business class on their long-haul aircraft.
"If you're looking to compete with international carriers, you need these premium products," said Snyder, who experienced American's new 777-300 aircraft on a flight from Los Angeles to London's Heathrow Airport last summer. "I think it's a great product, and it's something they can build off of."
Long Beach Airport's interim director embraces challenge
Pat Maio – June 20, 2014
Concerns also are growing about JetBlue itself, which announced a shakeup of its management in April to improve its operational efficiences, said Brett Snyder, a Long Beach-based aviation industry analyst who runs the Cranky Flier airline industry blog.
The management changes have Snyder wondering how committed JetBlue might be to Long Beach given its falling passenger traffic count.
"You don't know what a new leadership team with a new culture might want to do," said Snyder, who is cautiously optimistic that the airline will stay.
Cheaper fares from CVG? Yep, CVG
Jason Williams – May 30, 2014
"It's a great way to get people to fill hotel rooms in places they weren't going to go to otherwise," said Brett Snyder, a former airline executive who publishes the Cranky Flier blog. "It's all about getting people off the couch who are super-price sensitive."
"A lot of these charters come and go," Snyder said. "They don't have staying power because they don't own airplanes."
Embraer Sees More Jet Sales With Big Bag Space: Corporate Brazil
Christiana Sciaudone – May 20, 2014
Airlines are also cracking down on passengers trying to lug aboard everything from cowboy hats to musical instruments, said Brett Snyder, who runs the Cranky Flier airline industry blog.
"People get really wound up about carry-ons, and part of it is they don't trust the airlines to not lose their bags, and part of it is they don't want to pay to check in," Snyder in a telephone interview. "I hate checking a bag."
Passengers should be happy with Embraer's change, said Snyder, of the Cranky Flier. The lack of overhead bin space had previously defined regional jets and frustrated passengers connecting into the smaller planes from mainline aircraft.
"Storing your bag in an overhead bin — that is a constant battle for everyone on every flight," Snyder said. "This will create a more standard product."
Head of Long Beach Airport leaving to run Indianapolis International Airport
Brian Sumers – April 21, 2014
"Mario came into Long Beach at a time when the airport was trying to build a new passenger concourse," said Brett Snyder, a Long Beach-based airline industry analyst and blogger. "He made sure it was done with a focus on passenger comfort while also keeping a close eye on costs. The result is one that travelers love the convenience but airlines also love the low cost of operating there."
American makes changes to its frequent flier program
Andrea Ahles – April 8, 2014
"If you're going to make a change to the program, people have a certain expectation that they're going to be able to use those miles and when," said Brett Snyder, founder of CrankyFlier, a travel concierge website. "But in a sense, it's all about revenues. [American] was giving away more seats than they felt comfortable giving away."
Airline industry pours millions into new terminals
Charisse Jones – March 17, 2014
"The terminal experience sets the tone for the entire trip," says Brett Snyder, founder and author of the airline industry blog CrankyFlier.com. "If you have someone sitting in a dingy facility with one chain restaurant and a newsstand, then people are going to walk on that airplane feeling worse than if they are able to get a nice meal and do a little shopping. That matters to the business traveler who spends his or her life in airports."
But a massive terminal upgrade may not be so appealing to other travelers. "For those people who just want cheap tickets, an expensive … renovation is the worst thing you can do," Snyder says. "Those costs ultimately result in higher ticket prices or fewer flights."
Beyond rocking chairs: Airports race to upgrade
Ely Portillo – January 19, 2014
"Having all these great things in an airport encourages people to spend more money," said Brett Snyder, a former airline executive who runs the website The Cranky Flier and operates a travel-booking service. "When they spend more money, it means the airport can charge airlines less to operate there. That's another reason why airlines love Charlotte."
Snyder said amenities and flashy buildings don't matter to travelers as much as the airport's reputation for on-time flights and ease of connection.
"I don't think people choose where to connect based on things like restaurants and amenities offered," he said. "I do think all these amenities help people to enjoy their trip more, and that does have a halo effect on how they remember the experience."
But he said an airport's reputation can affect whether people want to connect there. For example, he has clients who don't want to connect through Chicago in the winter. He has a US Airways elite flier from Charleston who insists on flying internationally from Charlotte instead of Philadelphia because it's easier to connect in Charlotte.
Airline merger will hurt some cardholders
Linda Loyd – January 15, 2014
"The reality is there are two very simple ways to solve this problem: You can buy lounge access, or you can get a different card that would provide you with access," CrankyFlier.com author Brett Snyder said in an interview.
"If travelers think that every single change that happens will be pro-consumer, then they are mistaken. That has never happened in the history of mergers. It's always a trade-off, and the hope is that the end result makes people happier on the whole than the previous situation."
Cancelled Flight for LAX's Iconic Encounter Restaurant

TICONDEROGA — The Distinguished Young Women of New York Scholarship Program is now accepting applications for its college scholarship program.
Pam Mosher of Ticonderoga is director of the state program, which is open to high-school senior girls who are graduating by June 2014.
Local programs will be held in Ticonderoga, Crown Point and Whitehall this November to select candidates for the state event, to be held at the University at Albany Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014.
But Mosher said young women who are not in the coverage area of those programs can still take part.
"It gives them an opportunity to apply and participate in the state program."
Founded in 1958 in Mobile, Ala., Distinguished Young Women was formerly known as America's Junior Miss. It is billed as the largest and oldest nationwide scholarship program for high-school girls.
It has provided life-changing experiences for more than 700,000 young women across the country and more than $93 million in cash scholarships at the local, state and national levels. Organizers say participants walk away with friendships, life skills and increased self-confidence.
Distinguished Young Women strives to give every young woman the opportunity to further her education and prepare for a successful future.
The program is designed for high-school seniors who have achieved excellence in academic achievement, physical fitness, on-stage performance skills and the ability to think and communicate clearly.
In New York, scholarships are awarded to one overall winner, first and second runners-up and several preliminary award winners in the categories of fitness, self-expression, talent, judges' interview and scholastics.
The winner will be awarded the title of Distinguished Young Woman of New York and will go on to compete for Distinguished Young Woman of America in Mobile, Ala., in June 2014 for additional college scholarship money.
Distinguished Young Women of Ticonderoga will hold a session for interested participants and their parents at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9, in the Ticonderoga High School auditorium.
Information will be provided on the program categories (scholarship, talent, self-expression, interview and fitness), as well as the numerous college scholarships available to local program participants.
For more information, contact Tracey Cross-Baker at 585-2525, email firstname.lastname@example.com or go to distinguishedyw.org.
The deadline to apply is Sept. 25.

Not the 70s kind, banging 2011 disco.
We don't know much about TYP if we're honest, but we do know that Ivri Lider (one on the right with more hair) bats for our team and is 'big in Israel'.
They've done a song with a D.I.S.C.O sample in it, reworking the lyrics with a modern twist. The video is brilliant:
The drag tastic dancer is Uriel Yekutiel of Israeli gay club youtube clip fame, who we have a massive girlcrush on. He did an amazing Beyonce medley at Tel Aviv pride too.
And that, is that. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND Y'ALL.

CITY COUNCIL: Parking prohibition in front yards considered
SAN ANGELO, Texas - San Angelo City Council voted to have city staff draft an ordinance that will prohibit parking vehicles in front yards on some of the city's streets.
The issue has been before the council in one form or another since 2003, planning director A.J. Fawver said. The issue was brought up by council member Fredd Adams. the ordinance would prohibit front yard parking on lots that front streets wider than 36 feet and that are not arterial or major traffic carriers on which on-street parking is prohibited.
The idea was opposed by council members Dwain Morrison, who condemned it as a violation of constitutional rights of property owners, and Johnny Silvas, who said he thought it was an unnecessary addition to municipal regulations over citizens' lives.
San Angelo City Council has unanimously authorized city staff to negotiate agreements with the newly formed San Angelo Performing Arts Coalition regarding improvements to City Auditorium, resource sharing and other potential private-public partnership synergies involving the coalition's proposal to build a performing arts center downtown near city hall.
Coalition spokesman Matt Lewis said the group needs $13.5 million for the complete project and has raised $4.7 million from individual donors to date.
The council approved the motion unanimously after hearing a 15-minute presentation by the coalition on the potential benefits of the project for the city.

Rheumatology Fellowship Program Statement
The primary mission of the of the Rheumatology Fellowship Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin is to provide clinical and research training to fellows who wish to study in an interdisciplinary environment and desire to achieve intellectually stimulating careers as productive Rheumatologists.
The program, two to three years in length, provides an opportunity for in-depth study and research of Rheumatic diseases. The experience will result in trained physicians who ultimately can be an academic rheumatologist with knowledge to practice, teach, and perform research.
Patient Population
The patient population consists of 45% adults over 65 years of age, 55% 18-64 years of age at two venues: Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital, a large academic medical center, and Zablocki VA Medical Center, an affiliate of the Medical College of Wisconsin. The fellows are exposed to inpatients and outpatients of varying income levels, life styles, and disease processes. There are also rotations at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin working with the three pediatric Rheumatologists in the state of Wisconsin (link to Children's Hospital).
The Rheumatology Fellowship Program teaches first year fellows clinical procedures associated with specific diseases. A major focus is the multitude of diagnostic laboratory testing procedures for evaluation of the rheumatic diseases. Diagnostic testing and procedures include but are not limited to: arthrocentesis and therapeutic injection, synovial fluid analysis, interpretation of results of specific rheumatologic laboratory tests, and assessment of radiographs of normal and diseases of joints. The fellows also learn the necessary research techniques involved in the successful completion of their basic research projects.
Faculty Involvement
Extensive one-on-one faculty/fellow interaction occurs daily through outpatient and inpatient experiences as well as being available for discussions to clarify issues. Fellows are assigned to specific faculty in the outpatient setting. Fellow involvement in a specific patient's care evolves as the fellow's knowledge and ability increases.
Weekly conferences promote discussion of difficult cases as well as discussion of journal articles and ongoing research. A slide collection/syllabus cover major areas and affords opportunity for independent learning. Fellows have the opportunity to participate in a formal eight-week course in research methods taught by faculty in Family Medicine, Pediatrics and General Internal Medicine. This course is focused around clinical research but many topics are broadly applicable such as data management and general statistics.
A faculty member mentors a research project. The fellows interview all faculty involved in basic research and select a mentor and project tailored to their interests.
Faculty members involved in the first year training include: Professor of Medicine - Dr. Lawrence Ryan. Dr. Ryan, a superb clinician and researcher who shares his extensive knowledge of various laboratory studies including crystal identification, and inorganic pyrophosphate metabolism in arthritis. Dr. Ryan also mentors the fellow in the rheumatology clinic on two days per week. Dr. Ryan is NIH funded for research in crystal disease. He is certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
Dr. M.E. Csuka, Professor of Medicine, is involved clinically with fellows in various rheumatology clinics including but not limited to a scleroderma clinic and osteoporosis clinic. Dr. Csuka also is active on the consultative service in which the fellow is required to participate. Dr. Csuka has many ongoing clinical projects and trials. Dr. Csuka is certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
Dr. Ann Rosenthal, Chief of Rheumatology, participates in clinical and research fellow training including but not limited to pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease, gout, pseudogout, and other rheumatologic diseases. The fellow is required to participate in one half-day clinic at the VA and on the consultative service. The NIH and VA fund Dr. Rosenthal for research in cartilage. Dr. Rosenthal is certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
Dr. Mary Cronin, the Director of the Fellowship Program, meets with the fellow periodically to evaluate the performance. She meets weekly with the fellows to discuss core curriculum topics. She also shares clinical experiences with the fellow at the VA, one half-day per week, Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital clinic two to three days per week, and the consultative service at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital. Dr. Cronin has many ongoing clinical trials. Dr. Cronin is certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
Neal Nygard, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, spends the majority of his time at the Zablocki VA Medical Center. He interacts with fellows in the clinic and on the consultative service at the VA. Dr. Nygard is certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.

Dudley cyclists urged to join lobbying group
12:10pm Sunday 30th December 2012 in News
CYCLISTS in Dudley are being urged to have their say by joining a lobbying group.
The Dudley Cycle Forum tackles cycling issues and comments on council proposals and strategies that relate to active travel.
Attended by elected members and senior council offices, it also encourages debate on wider issues such as, education, training and promotion of cycling and whether roads and cycle paths are fit for purpose.
Councillor Judy Foster, cabinet member for transport, said: "There are a number of cycling initiatives taking place in the borough at the moment and we are keen to engage with local cyclists and other interested parties to see what's important to them.
"The cycle forum is a great way to get involved and find out what's going on in Dudley borough and I hope lots of people will come along and have their say on this important topic."
It meets four times a year and its first meeting of the new year will be on Monday January 14 at the Dell Stadium in Brierley Hill from 6pm until 7.30pm.

- Good lunchJohnVIPDined on 8/28/2014My wife and I had a very nice lunch at the Panama Hotel today. Probably the most notable thing about the Panama is their very pleasant outdoor dining, a great place to go on a warm day. The food was good and the wine list was focused on smaller wineries. I expect we will return for dinner on some warm night.Special Features:
- rafaelfoodieDined on 8/26/2014I have eaten at this restaurant several times and have always been pleased. On this past visit, the food was great but the service was very slow. Fortunately we didn't have any time pressure (except for parking limitations in the neighborhood), but we were both hungry! It won't deter us from going back.Special Features:
- A truly wonderful restaurantLaurettaDined on 8/18/2014The Panama has always been my choice for birthday lunches, I have a group of girlfriends that celebrate each others birthday and the Panama is out first choice. They have fabulous food, the service is always good. This last time I brought a dear friend from Sonoma, and she loved it, and wants to meet there again, Thank you Panama for having such a special place LaurettaSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/17/2014Yummy food, beautiful spot! We'd never been there before and found it to be really wonderful.Special Features:
- Lovely patio, service little slowdiningout775Dined on 8/17/2014Pros: lovely patio setting, neighborhood gem, service was good once it got started! Cons: Our reservation was at 10am (which is opening time on a Sunday) and they were slow getting started. Several of the ladies suggested we go elsewhere when we sat for about 10 minutes, alone on the patio, without so much as a glass of water or cup of coffee. Not even an acknowledgement that we were there like a "good morning, we'll be right with you!". The food was good, though not remarkable. Eggs benedict pretty good, burger was over-cooked, scones were tasty but very small for the price. Be aware, they do not allow separate checks and add 20% gratuity parties 6 or more.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A lovely evening.........noelbowsVIPDined on 8/15/2014A family gathering of four and we all felt rewarded for choosing the Panama Hotel and Restaurant. I had the Seafood Salad, a favorite of mine, which once again pleased. Our grand daughter enjoyed the ceviche and fresh salmon. Also enjoyed: red and yellow beet salad. A great time at a wonderful little local gem.Special Features:
- What a gem!KentfielddinersVIPDined on 8/14/2014This charming cottage building with small bar and lovely outdoor patio under trees and umbrellas...they even have straw hats hung on fence to borrow...lush plants and colorful linens make this a delightful space to enjoy a meal. Then add the accomplished kitchen, a menu of great choices and a vibrant evening music scene...what more could you want, especially if its close by in a cozy neighborhood. A great lunch and brunch place, they're very accommodating for larger groups if booked ahead, and they do a terrific job for smaller private parties in the back patio. Our whole family loves it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Opt for an Outside TableCAtlcVIPDined on 8/13/2014The food and a great outdoor dining area make up for the understaffed service. Opt for an outside table if you go on one of the nights when there is live music, which is too loud if you are seated inside or even on the patio.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great AtmosphereLiDoDined on 8/13/2014I have been going to the Panama Hotel for years and it never fails to impress me. Recently I met a friend here for lunch and we had a lovely time. I had a Greek salad and my friend has a seafood salad. Both of us were more than satisfied with our meals and the service was excellent. The waitress was very attentive, and our water glasses were filled quickly upon request. We chose to sit inside this time, but there is a large patio area that looks quite comfortable and festive. I highly recommend Panama Hotel for an affordable meal.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/12/2014I have eaten lunch here several times and have always been pleased. I had dinner there and the wait for getting our food was 35 minutes. I don't know why it was SO slow.Special Features:
- Very disappointingCorkDined on 8/12/2014Took ten minutes for a hostess to greet us. Had requested a nice table for celebration but was given a large table for five or six and there were four of us so we couldn't even sit and hear each other. Asked for different quiet table and they movedus to a table for four but the music was so loud in room we couldn't hear anything. Asked for table outside but they had either a very small table for two or three or a table in the back. Our waiter lost us for about twenty minutes. Asked for heater but waiter couldn't make it work and said he would get another one but he never did that. Service was very very slow Waiter was nice but couldn't even get us french fries until we were finished with our meal. Overall food was fair, service fair.
- ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/8/2014Server had an "attitude." She was not a happy camper. Ordered appetizer, enjoying it when another server announced our entrees were ready - we were NOT ready. We do not like being rushed. We specifically ordered the appetizer first and did not want everything to come at once. They close at 2:30 & at 2 they started taking down the patio umbrellas and moving tables from two large groups - it was annoying. Food was good and ample. Enjoyed the flights of 3 wines. Baja salad was very good. Husband had meatloaf sandwich, he had to take 1/2 home. He said it was very good. We would go back if in the area but will not make a special trip from Napa. Would suggest it to friends but would not highly recommend it. It is a charming venue.Special Features:
- SummerlivingVIPDined on 8/7/2014I don't review every restaurant I go to, but Panama Hotel and Restaurant deserved my time to write this review.We sat outside, we heard the great music from inside...not too loud.., the waiter was very attentive but gave us space to talk, and the food was delightful. Everyone left saying they were going back soon. What a lovely summer evening.Special Features:
- NOISEOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/7/2014THE MUSIC WAS TOO LOUD. COULD NOT CARRY ON A CONVERSATION COMFORTABLYSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SAMCDined on 8/6/2014Great food & ambience! We ate outside & it was a beautiful night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Lunch on the PatioPaizDined on 8/1/2014We had the BLT with avocado and the ceviche. The sandwich was perfectly prepared with vine ripe tomatoes on a grilled ciabatta roll. The ceviche was fresh and perfect for a light lunch. Our server was very attentive and gracious. The food and service were timed perfectly without feeling rushed considering we were on our lunch break. A really great spot. I would definitely return!Special Features:
- funky gembirthdaybunchDined on 7/29/2014Panama hotel is a quirky and wonderful neighborhood restaurant/hotel. The outdoor seating area is delightful, the food is very tasty and the service is excellent. We had a huge, juicy burger, a delicious and filling Baja salad and a hearty, healthy veggie panini sandwich. We shared a decadent brownie/ice cream dessert; one was perfect for three of us to share at lunch. Our waiter kindly refilled our ice teas tons of times and left us to chat happily away for a long time after finishing our meal. Thoroughly enjoy this place, and I eat here often.Special Features:
- Consistently PleasantTapperDined on 7/27/2014You can count on the Panama Hotel for good food, service and ambience. I particularly enjoy eating outside there, but the inside is nice also.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Local FavoriteBirdieTDined on 7/25/2014After all these years, Panama Hotel is still delivering delicious, creative dinners with gracious service. We had dinner on a very warm evening. They moved our group from inside to outside, and brought continuous water and extra glasses of ice. The seafood salads and cioppino were perfect for the weather, paired with excellent wines by the glass. Burger was great, too. Service was friendly but discreet and unrushed. Couldn't have been better!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our favorite spotGInnyVIPDined on 7/25/2014Were love the food here and dining in the patio area...outside! The fish tacos and calamari salad are great as is the colcannon. The staff is attentive without being overly so. It's a perfect spot for a meal going into San Francisco from the north bay.Special Features:
- Favorite outdoor dining spotLuv2eatDined on 7/24/2014A favorite of ours for outdoor dining to celebrate special occasions. We enjoy the red and golden beet & arugula salad every time. My husband enjoyed the Baja seafood salad which had generous portions of seafood & I enjoyed the rack of lamb with polenta & sauteed green beans & red bell peppers. A nice bottle of a Napa chard accompanied our meal. The brownie & gelato tower & Panama sundae, both topped with the belgian bittersweet chocolate (yum!) completed our meal.Special Features:
- Summer outsideNapiliDined on 7/20/2014The inside dining room looks very inviting but the outside dining area is great so we haven't made it inside yet. Maybe next time.Special Features:
- Saturday nightKTK318VIPDined on 7/19/2014We enjoyed the outdoor dining scene with starters & drinks. Server was attentive, cheery & enhanced our evening. Salad entree was great. We were happy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So unique!FooDeeVIPDined on 7/15/2014So special! I feel transported every visit. Best chef ever! Lunch or dinner selections - all so yummy. GO THERE!Special Features:
- A Favorite Spot!KAS1VIPDined on 7/13/2014This is a neighborhood find that has been operating as a restaurant under Panama for the past 20 or so years, and formerly Maria's Pueblo (starting in about the 50s/60s). Excellent ambiance. Delicious seasonal food. Very off the main track. Live music occasionally. Special!Special Features:
- Disappointing!foodiesandyVIPDined on 7/13/2014The brunch was a huge disappointment. Three of the five had not dined there before and at my recommendation we ordered the polenta with eggs and sausage. The presentation was very different from previous times and the eggs and polenta were inedible. If I had not been a guest I would have complained but I did not want our host to be uncomfortable. The wait person never addressed the fact that we left most of the food.
- Memorable experienceLindaDined on 7/12/2014My brother, sister-in-law, and I had such a wonderful dinner there on a Saturday night that we returned the next day for brunch. Great food and service in a beautiful outdoor setting both times.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great outdoor seating!RedhairDined on 7/11/2014The food is always good (my favorite appetizer is the Tuna Tartar). Love the outdoor seating especially at night (they have heat lamps). Server was too slow for my liking. Luckily it won't stop me from going back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food Very Good; Service Only OKMarylouDined on 7/11/2014While the ambience and food at Panama Hotel are very good, our overall experience was less than good due to poor & unfriendly wait staff, which was exemplified by the host's unfriendly greeting when we arrived. We had reservations, and when we checked-in with the host there wasn't a welcome or hello, we were just handed menus and assumed we were to follow him as he led us toward an inside table. We asked if we might be seated on the patio (Panama has lovely outdoor patio seating) and were given a terse "no." I'm not sure if we'd return.Special Features:
- A hidden gem in San RafaelMikeinOaklandDined on 7/11/2014I've been working in San Rafael for 12 years and never had the chance to get to this great restaurant. The staff is lovely, the ambience, with outdoor patio is great. Most important, the food is done just right! I had the pulled pork sandwich for lunch and it was one of the best I've had!Special Features:
- YumyumDined on 7/8/2014Good food. Baja salad and pablano chili were excellent. Great outdoor seating with plenty of heaters if needed. Cute and quirkySpecial Features:
- Service fabulosityKismetVIPDined on 7/8/2014Our waiter was so sensational, he was attentive, responsive, available and patient. Outstanding as was the food and environment. As always.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/6/2014Had a lovely family dinner in the pretty garden on a warm summer evening . Good food, nice service.Special Features:
- Historic hotel in San RafaelMaddievlDined on 7/6/2014The Panama Hotel is a special place for a casual celebration with a few friends. With the recent summer heat, their outdoor patio was a treat. The menu is nit extensive but adequate. The food is delicious but their seafood salad while tasty was skimpy with the seafood. 3 prawns and a very small slice of salmon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lunch-time getawayroseDined on 6/27/2014If you want to escape to Baja or anyplace south of Marin, and you only have two hours, have lunch at the Panama Hotel. Unhurried, tasty, fresh, quiet enough in the outdoor dining area to hear the fountain's music amid the banana palms. Also, some interesting wines by the glass.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Local GemJackSheltonSFKDined on 6/27/2014Eating lunch in the outdoor patio at the Panama Hotel Restaurant is sheer delight. The lunch menu, which has both, a Mexican influence and a Mediterranean influence, is broad and the very tasty dishes are beautifully served. I love the tortilla soup and the Baja salad, each of which display delicate Mexican flavors. The décor is colorful and transports me to a quiet villa in Mexico. Umbrellas and trees provide adequate shade; the chairs are very comfortable; the wait staff most friendly and efficient.Special Features:
- Never disappointsveryhappydinerDined on 6/27/2014I go for lunch at Panama Hotel almost every Friday, meeting various friends from various parts of the Bay area. Every one I introduce to the restaurant comes again, bringing friends of her own. It's always a wonderful place to be, especially in the garden, each friend finds her favorite dish or two and won't budge from them. It's a joyful, beautiful, serene kind of place which has me looking forward to going back the minute I walk out the door. The neighborhood is also a lovely place for walking, with beautiful, old houses on tree-lined streets. Don't miss them in the fall. Don't miss them anytime.Special Features:
- Lovely on the patioLeChatVIPDined on 6/25/2014The Panama Hotel is a true original. Comfy, tasty food, good wine, great vibes. A touch kitschy. A place to wind down and relax. Always a pleasure.Special Features:
- Great findOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/24/2014My wife made the recommendation. She said she hadn't been there in 20 years. We enjoyed lunch with a special business colleague from France. Food service and ambiance were perfect. It will be a regular for us now.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PaulieDined on 6/22/2014We always enjoy dinner at this family owned restaurant, the staff are delightful, and very good food. I would reccomend it.Special Features:

It was a day that has been delayed for two months now -- the opening of Chick fil A at 2750 North Main St. Due to Chick fil A president Dan Cathy's remark last summer that opposed same sex marriage, groups that support gay marriage have organized protests, and those who support Cathy's position have done the same.
But Thursday's opening in Walnut Creek was relatively uneventful. Crowds seemed more intent on getting lunch than making a political statement. On the sidewalk, about a dozen gay rights activists stood with banners, bullhorns and signs, urging passing traffic to honk in support of their cause.
Meanwhile, on the other side of driveway, four men held anti-gay signs and shouted at the activists to "leave your $%*#ing hands off my children."
One customer who was on her way out of the store stopped at the driveway and rolled down her window, addressing the anti-gay activists.
"You're not helping your cause, you know," she said.
"Do you have children?" one of the protesters asked. "They are the target of these people." The woman drove away.
Meanwhile, a spokeman for Chick fil A named Josh, who said he was from the store in Sacramento, was asked about all the ruckus in the driveway.
"All I can say is that we'll serve anybody. We don't care who they are," he said.

Parks and conservation areas closed by the federal government shutdown include the Neosho National Fish Hatchery. However, the fish are cared for, even during the shutdown.
An official with the Department of Conservation says government workers will feed the fish, but that's about all they will be doing.
Some local residents reacted to the fish hatchery's closure during this time.
"I think it's very sad," says Neosho resident Janey Fickbohm. "I also worry that the government doesn't realize what they're taking away from everybody in this community."
"I think it's a shame because normally when you go to the fish hatchery, you actually are experiencing a moment in history because it's been there for so many years," says Neosho resident Jesus Zarazua.
Department of Conservation workers tell us other federal parks and conservation areas in the state will also take care of their animals during this time.
Click here for information on the hatchery's closure and when it'll reopen.

ASU's Coyle and Kelly forge bond on and off the field
Arizona State tight end Chris Coyle and quarterback Taylor Kelly have forged a close relationship and it has certainly paid dividends on the field.
Coyle emerged as ASU's leading receiver with 53 catches for 659 yards to along with five touchdowns in 2012. He needs just three catches in the Sun Devils' bowl game against Navy to surpass Seahawks' Zach Miller for the school's single-season record for a tight end.
A lot of Coyle's success this season can be attributed to Kelly, who has afforded the tight end with consistent opportunities game in and game out. Coyle believes his quarterback's temperament is a big reason for the team's tremendous strides on offense.
"The biggest thing that I like about Taylor Kelly is his poise," Coyle told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show Friday. "He's very calm and composed and I feel like it plays out on the field."
In his first year as ASU's starting quarterback, Kelly has thrown for 2,772 yards and 25 touchdowns with just nine interceptions in 2012.
Coyle said he's most impressed with Kelly's ability to remain even keel in even the most difficult of circumstances.
"There's been a couple times where he's had to roll out of the pocket and just a couple games where he's had a little bit more pressure but he's still able to maintain his focus and find that guy open downfield," Coyle stated.
As an offense, ASU has scored 36.4 points per game and Coyle connecting with his quarterback for clutch receptions and scores is a big reason why.
"I really just wanted the opportunity to go out on the field and show what I had and just be able to make plays for the Sun Devils," Coyle said. "I just tried to take advantage of every opportunity that's been given to me."

PM pledge after Hamza US conviction (From This Is Lancashire)
National News RSS Feed
PM pledge after Hamza US conviction
4:50am Tuesday 20th May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
David Cameron has pledged to "take more steps" to speed up the deportation of people who pose a threat to Britain following the conviction in the United States of radical cleric Abu Hamza on terrorism charges.
The north London preacher, who was tried under the name Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, could face life in prison after a federal court in New York found him guilty of supporting terrorist organisations, including aiding the taking of hostages in Yemen and seeking to set up an al Qaida training camp in the US.
The Prime Minister said it was "good that he has faced justice" and insisted he would take action to speed up the extradition process if the Conservatives remain in government next year.
Mr Cameron told the BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I think it's good that he has faced justice and justice has been done.
"I think we should reflect on whether we can extradite faster.
"I think Theresa May, the Home Secretary, did a brilliant job.
"It took 10 years but Abu Hamza, off to America, and, of course, Abu Qatada, deported to Jordan.
"We have made progress in a way no government before us has made progress and we should be clear that we have got a good domestic record in terms of prosecuting and convicting people who are guilty of terrorist offences here in Britain."
He added: " I think speeding up extradition and speeding up deportation... I think we need to look at the avenues of appeal that there are and make sure that those are gone through more quickly, and we have made changes there.
"Obviously, we also need to look, as I've said many times, at the European Convention on Human Rights and the position that we have got to get into where, if someone threatens our country, we should be able to deport them if they have no right to be here and that is absolutely essential that we restore that.
"We have taken some big steps but I plan to take more steps if I'm elected as a Conservative Prime Minister after the next election."
Egyptian-born Hamza led the Finsbury Park Mosque in the 1990s, reportedly attended by both September 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and shoe bomber Richard Reid, though the cleric denied ever having met them.
He later spread violent messages there following the attacks of September 11 2001.
The 56-year-old preacher was jailed in the UK for seven years for soliciting murder and inciting racial hatred in 2006 and first faced an extradition request from the Americans in 2004.
After a protracted legal battle he was extradited to the US in October 2012.
Hamza will be sentenced on September 8, three days before the 13th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, and faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Three Britons and an Australian were killed in 1998 in Yemen when they were among 16 tourists seized by armed terrorists and taken hostage.
Following Hamza's conviction, Laurence Whitehouse, who was among the hostages and whose wife, Margaret, was one of the Britons shot dead, spoke of his relief at the court's decision.
He told the Daily Telegraph: "This has taken a long time, even though there was evidence of his involvement early on. We could have had less trouble and strife in the world if effective action had been taken against him earlier."
Another of the hostages, Eric Firkins, 70, told the Telegraph: "The worst thing, coming back from Yemen, was finding it had all been organised in north London. For years I saw him on the television every day, a free man who was still spouting hatred. Now I can parcel it up."

Because the media have demonised a few people like him who have abused the human rights system, some politicians want to take away the human rights from all of us British people.

Sheldon Whitehouse
Sheldon Whitehouse is a Democratic member of the United States Senate, representing Rhode Island.
A graduate of Yale University and the University of Virginia School of Law, Sen. Whitehouse served as a policy advisor and counsel to the Governor of Rhode Island and as the state's Director of Business Regulation before being nominated by President Bill Clinton to be Rhode Island's United States Attorney in 1994. He was elected State Attorney General in 1998, a position in which he served from 1999-2003.[1]
Senate committees
Whitehouse serves on the Budget Committee, the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, the Judiciary Committee, the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee and the Special Committee on Aging. He chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism.[2]
"Caring Across Generations"
In July 2011, Jessica Cutcliffe, of Break The Chain Campaign, a project of the Institute for Policy Studies, was involved in a conference of the Caring Across Generations campaign, in the ballroom of the Washington Hilton. According to Cutliffe "we shouted our words and stood with our hands entwined, linked together by our common vision for transforming the culture of care. The circle marked the end of the Care Congress and the beginning of a movement".
As the more than 700 person crowd divided into "tracks," for the afternoon, the erupting fervor did not dissipate. A highly energized ACTION group proceeded to Capitol Hill to testify on the importance of protecting Medicare and Medicaid and to hear from Senators Al Franken (D-MN) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) on these issues.[3]
Hi IPS rating
In 2012 "Congressional Report Card for the 99 Percent" , the Institute for Policy Studies examined 40 different legislation actions in the House and Senate—votes and legislation introduced—to ascertain the real allegiances of sitting members of Congress. These include votes to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, levy a Wall Street speculation tax, invest in infrastructure, and protect workers and student financial aid.
The Report Card also graded politicians for their commitment to reducing inequality and boosting the 99 percent. The report's "Honor Roll" gave an A-plus grade to 5 members of the U.S. Senate, including Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Al Franken (D-MN), Bernie Sanders (VT-I), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).[4]
Planned Parenthood
Whitehouse received $1,000 in lobbying funds from Planned Parenthood in 2008.
Cuba trip
A delegation of American lawmakers led by Senator Patrick Leahy arrived in Cuba on Monday, Feb. 18, 2013, in order to gauge the island's economic changes and to lobby on behalf of Alan Gross, an American whose detention has chilled relations between the two countries. The trip was the first to the Communist-run island by high-level US politicians since President Barack Obama's re-election in November.
The delegation also included, Republican senator Jeff Flake, the Democrat senators Sherrod Brown, Debbie Stabenow and Sheldon Whitehouse and the Democratic congressmen James McGovern (Massachusetts) and Chris Van Hollen from Maryland, Gross's home state.Cite error: Closing

2012 CLW Senate victories
2012 CLW Senate Victories were;Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Bob Casey (D-PA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Angus King (I-ME), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Chris Murphy (D-CT) Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Jon Tester (D-MT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).[5]
The CLW wrote of Whitehouse when endorsing him in 2012;
- One of the brighter lights elected to the Senate five years ago is Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D) of Rhode Island.
- During his first term as Senator, Whitehouse hasn't shied away from promoting progressive issues and has scored a perfect 100% on Council for a Livable World's voting scorecard. Now Senator Whitehouse is facing his first re-election challenge, and his leadership, intelligence and votes deserve your support.
- Armed with his legal expertise he has been a leader in the fight in Congress to ban torture interrogations. He has also strongly criticized the Supreme Court's evisceration of campaign finance limits with the decision in the Citizens United case.
- Whitehouse was an active supporter of the New START nuclear reductions treaty and advocates an increase in U.S.-Russian cooperation.
- He signed a letter circulated by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D) urging President Obama "to begin a sizable and sustained drawdown of troops in Afghanistan" and supports the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq by the end of this year.
- On the Council for a Livable World scorecard, he has scored 95% over his first four years in office.[6]
"Forward on Climate" rally
Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013 the nation's capital hosted what was billed as the largest climate rally in U.S. history.
Thousands of environmentalists, farmers and workers of all kinds gathered in the shadow of the Washington Monument for a "Forward on Climate" demonstration to shout their opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, fracking, Big Oil, and nuclear power.
The Rev. Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, who emceed the event, introduced a list of speakers which included: Bill McKibben, president of 350.org; Van Jones, president of Rebuild the Dream; Maria Cordones, founder of Latinovations; Indigenous Peoples representatives including Chief Jacqueline Thomas from the Saik'uz First Nation and Crystal Lameman from the Beaver Lake Cree First Nations; Michael Brune, the Sierra Club's executive director and Democratic U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island. Present, too, were celebrities like Evangeline Lilly and Rosario Dawson.
Bold.org, one of the event organizers, predicted that 20,000 people would participate, but Rev. Yearwood announced that the actual number there, 40,000, doubled expectations. Supplementing the massive action in D.C. were some 20 solidarity rallies in 16 states, from the four corners of the country-- Los Angeles, Palm City, Seattle, Portland, Maine-- and points in between. They included rallies in Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, and five in Montana alone.[7]

There is a free bus (the Passport) that runs through downtown Long Beach from 10th & Pine to the Queen Mary. If you park past 8th & Pine, there are no meters which means you can park for free instead of paying to park for $20. It's a fairly simple process with a straight shot on the bus. It runs the same route to and from the Queen Mary, so you can't get too lost.CHILL travel • Mar 12 2014 star this tip starred

Hi there, my name is Joe Henthorn, and it really is surprising I haven't ended up here sooner. I suppose I should start with a little chronology, which is fun for me as an aspiring historian (which is a fact about me you should know!). I've been playing games for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is sitting on my uncles knee as a three year old, playing the brilliant "Alex Kidd in Miracle World" on the Sega Master System (it was the built in game. Built in!)
I suppose my Uncle was a kind of fanboy, and these earliest memories of him shouting at when I asked if "we could play Mario instead" obviously rubbed off on me because I was a Sega fanboy for the next 10 years (and to a certain extent, I suppose I still am). The superlative Mega Drive came next, which really cemented my love of gaming, and it was also this console that started to interest me in concepts such as Speed Running (I don't know if it was actually called that back then). I used to flick through defunct issues of Sega Power to find challenges, like finishing the first level of Sonic the Hedgehog in 30 seconds (my record ending up being 26, a skill I have unfortunately lost over the years).
I continued to back Sega throughout the dreaded Saturn era. I didn't even have any good games, not even NiGHTS, reportedly the best Saturn Game. I'm kind of proud of my unswerving loyalty in these circumstances, and the skills I developed defending the Saturn and the Dreamcast have probably helped me develop as an Historian. Argue, argue, argue. Although it was during this time that I slipped over to the dark side to play Playstation Games, like the first Metal Gear Solid and Crash Bandicoot 2. Oh, they were so good.
Obviously, the DC was next. I loved this little machine - so small and cute! The graphics were brilliant (the first Soul Calibur game still looks passable today!), the games were excellent, and the concept of online play was nothing short of revolutionary (although it ended up being a failed revolution, much like 1848 in Germany I suppose). Ty title he Dreamcast also provided me with my favourite game of all time thus-far, a fairly obscure JRPG called "Skies of Arcadia", which was absolutely amazing and beats any Final Fantasy title you care to mention, I reckon. Try it!
Hey Idde Idus, welcome to our Community Blogs!
Unlike a regular blog, where you're out alone in the web wilderness,
will publish your story instantly to a directory shared by our readers. Great blogs are voted up, and you'll soon earn
. "Failblogs", the opposite of awesomeness, we can do without. As such, we want to help you make the best first impression:
Checklist for Not Sucking:
1) Upload an avatar
2) Write a brief bio
3) Publish your first blog (SCARY!)
It's not so scary. However, be mindful of a few things. A
blog is intended to be a complete article, have entertainment value of some kind, and formatted nicely. If you toss a blog up that looks like a quickly thrown-together email with no photos or care you'll never earn readers, and unlikely ever get your blog promoted to our home page.
Here's an example of a FAILBLOG:
Oh hey I'm new here wuz up I've been reading the site for 99 years and this is my first blog! I like tacos! Nice to meet everyone!!! -Niero
Silly rabbit, blogs are not
! While enthusiasm is greatly appreciated, that's hardly a valid blog post or even a complete paragraph. Even if your intentions are in the right place, this is what we call a "fail blog". Don't be that guy.
If that's all you want to say, it's better suited for fast-paced conversation in our home page comments or even our forums. Blogs are complete thoughts. They should be able to stand alone. When you're ready to
talk about an interesting topic, in 1-2 paragraphs
ask readers to respond to your thoughts
then you're ready to blog. Got it?
Don't spam the blogs.
One last thing -- be mindful that this is a 'shared' space, so don't push a bunch of blogs together one after the other. After you publish, try commenting and following other bloggers before you blog again to allow people to check your story out, and post new stories as well.
If you are copying and pasting from another blog, please take some time to personalize it for this community. Nobody likes copy-pasta, it's spammy.

Second-ranked LSU broke open a tie game with a four-run fifth inning rally and never looked back routing Kentucky, 11-1, Friday night at Alex Box Stadium.
LSU (28-2, 9-1 SEC) pounded three Wildcats pitchers for 14 hits, with JaCoby Jones leading the way with a three hit night. Alex Bregman extended his hitting streak to 18 games with an RBI triple that capped a three-run seventh inning rally.
Ty Ross added a 2-for-3 night scoring two runs and Raph Rhymes picked up an RBI single. Mason Katz added to his nation's best RBI total, getting 50 and 51 with a two-run single.
The Tigers had 10 combined runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.
Aaron Nola (5-0) pitched seven innings of 4-hit baseball and struck out 7 Wildcats to earn the pitching victory. He had a shaky fourth inning allowing three walks and finally gave up his first hit and run in the fifth inning.
Kentucky pitcher A.J. Reed pitched a good game into the fifth inning until the Tigers loaded the bases. Wildcats third baseman Paul McConkey had a wild throw to first trying to throw out Christian Ibarra which allowed two Tigers to score.
Kentucky falls to 22-7 and 6-4 in the SEC.

Except for Galaxy compatibility, the Samsung Level On doesn't offer anything you won't find in other, better on-ear headphones for the same price.
If you're looking for a $150-$250 on-ear headphone, the well-built V-Moda XS should be on your short list.
If you're looking for comfortable in-ear headphones with very plump bass, the Klipsch R6i model will do it, but they're also short on detail and clarity.
The Bowers & Wilkins P7 may not the best headphone you can buy in its luxury price range, but it certainly is among the best, with excellent build quality and rich sound that works well with a wide range of music genres and sources.
These Solo 2 may not win audiophile hearts and ears, but for its intended audience -- namely, folks who are looking for a fast, exciting headphone with lots of high-quality bass -- this is an excellent on-ear headphone.
The Beyerdynamic T 51 p is one of the best on-ear headphones available, offering excellent sound quality and a comfortable fit.
While they aren't for bass lovers, the SR325e headphones deliver very open, detailed sound that makes for exciting listening.
The JLab Epics may look a little cheap, but they offer a comfortable, secure fit, and sound richer than their design would indicate.
The rebranded version of Bose's OE2i now comes in some flashier color options.
While the open-back design isn't good for noisy environments, the Grado SR80e headphones sound exceptionally good for $100 and are also comfortable to wear.

Over at MLB Daily Dish, Justin Bopp has collected links to tweets and Pineda/Montero-related articles for your edification. There's probably a second wave coming today and tomorrow. But for now, this will do just fine.
One point from Jon Morosi that I hadn't thought about:
Yankees know a lot of their older regulars will need DH days to stay fresh. Thus, less painful to trade Montero.
With Alex Rodriguez going to Germany to get Bavarian cream syphoned into his knees, Derek Jeter approaching forty, and Mark Teixeira having two down years in a row, there's something to be said about the Yankees keeping the DH spot relatively open for a carousel of thirty-somethings.
But on the days that the Yankees aren't resting someone at the DH spot, they'll be relying an awful lot on Andruw Jones and whoever is the left-handed complement. And on the days the Yankees are resting a regular at the DH spot, that means they'll have a lesser hitter in the field. A whole lot of Eduardo Nunez is what I'm getting at. I can see the logic, but I'm not sure it's automatically a great thing.
Also of note: Andruw Jones being a DH makes me feel older than if I heard through the grapevine that my high-school girlfriend just became a grandmother.

- " The location of the hostel is amazing. Maybe 80-100 metres from Causeway Bay metro station. It is located in an upscale neighborhood full with trendy shops. The room was clean and well secured by card lock. The size of the room is very small but I guess it is safe for every place in Hong Kong. Besides size of the room everything is just perfect "
- 19 Jan 2014 Anonymous India
- " The staff is not very helpful or friendly. The common area is not conducive for guests to chat. I never saw a kitchen, but I heard the refrigerator was growing science experiments. The computers are turned off at 10:00 pm. which is ridiculous. In order to flush the toilets, one is advised to use the hand-held shower head to fill the toilet tank. Really?! The place is dark and gloomy. I was most happy to vacate the place. I feel sorry for the cat who lives there. "

NEW YORK -- Newly acquired point guard Jose Calderon is in the starting lineup for his Detroit Pistons debut against the New York Knicks.
Calderon was cleared to play earlier Monday and is in the lineup alongside Brandon Knight in the backcourt. The Spanish-born point guard had been unable to play for his new team because of unresolved visa issues.
He got in just a little practice time with his team, which had only limited time on the floor when it arrived at Madison Square Garden because the Knicks were using it.
Detroit acquired Calderon from Toronto as part of a three-team trade last Wednesday that included the Pistons trading Tayshaun Prince to Memphis and the Grizzlies dealing Rudy Gay to the Raptors. Calderon couldn't play for the Pistons on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers or Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

Tonight: Willow Road/101 interchange meeting
Original post made on Oct 17, 2012

Great! It's about time! The exit ramp at Willow Road West is far too short! (I haven't taken Willow Road East, so I don't know about that one.) A person has to get in the exit lane and brake quite hard really quickly and at the same time try not to "get involved" with a car that is entering the freeway in the same lane we exiting need to get into to exit the freeway. It is horrible there. There is not enough room for both, and I cannot see how it could even have been constructed that way. Whoever "planned" that exit was not thinking. I don't understand how something as dangerous as this ever came into existence.
on Oct 17, 2012 at 12:55 pm
wish they would also look at the Marsh Road interchange at the same time...it's ridiculous there too
on Oct 18, 2012 at 10:25 am
By far and away the worst is the 84 / 101 interchange in Redwood City.
All the great and wonderful City planners, who just keep saying add density and jobs and more buildings to our cities just don't give a crap about the problems they create.
When is the public going to kick out State politicians like Steinberg with his 375 and 32 laws.
Of, course here, we have the great University, Stanford, which for quite some time has been worrying more about more shopping center space, and windfalls for an un-needed and grossly over built hospital to add more money to its coffers, than doing what it should be doing and that is focusing on education.

Dunwoody Police are looking for a police impersonator known to hang around a Dunwoody hotel helping himself to food.
The incident happened at the Dunwoody StayBridge Suites, located on the 4600 block of Ridgeview Road.
Hotel employees say the man who has been an unwelcome visitor for weeks. He has stopped by for free breakfast multiple times even though he is not a guest at the restaurant. When the manager confronted him back in December, he fired back by throwing a cup of scalding tea in the managers face.
The manager wasn't severely injured.
Hotel employees say he returned a few days ago flashing a badge pretending to be a police officer to get more free food. The man did not display a weapon.
"We are just not sure what he is capable of. If he wants to hurt somebody for free food, what's going to happen when we get him under arrest. We want to get him identified and get him in custody," Dunwoody police said.
The man is described as a black man about 5'6" to 5'8" tall and around 180 lbs. They say he likely lives in the area because every time he has walked away fled on foot. Anyone with information is being asked to contact Dunwoody Police.

New thread on Sotomayor confirmation hearings
by desmoinesdem, Thu Jul 16, 2009 at 05:17:42 PM EDT
Judge Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearings ended today. I hardly watched any of it on tv, but I got the highlights from David Waldman's liveblogging at Congress Matters: Wednesday morning session, Wednesday afternoon session, Thursday morning session, and Thursday afternoon session.
On Wednesday Senator Chuck Grassley had a contentious exchange with Judge Sotomayor regarding a 1972 case on same-sex marriage. Tom Beaumont posted the transcript at the Des Moines Register site. Sotomayor read the case last night and answered more questions from Grassley about it today. I posted an excerpt from the transcript after the jump.
According to MSNBC reporter Norah O'Donnell, Grassley told her today that his constituents are "pretty unanimous against her," referring to Sotomayor. On what basis can he make that claim? I don't doubt that wingnuts have been working his phone lines, but I hope he doesn't expect anyone to believe that Iowans overwhelmingly oppose the confirmation of this extremely intelligent and qualified judge.
Questioning of Sotomayor concluded this morning, and outside witnesses testified this afternoon. As expected, Republicans brought in New Haven firefighter Frank Ricci.
Share any thoughts about the confirmation process in this thread. How many Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote to confirm Sotomayor?
