Fil Us Up at FIL ME UP!
If you were able to visit this blog on its first few 'opening' days last August 2010, you will know that one of my earliest post was about my favorite restaurant here in Cagayan de Oro. Not only it's my favorite, going there has also become my addiction. Yes, there came to a point when I visit the resto on a monthly basis, even if I don't have a company with me. I'm talking about the resto which gives the ultimate local appeTHAIzing experience, the THAI ME UP!
As written on my first blogpost about it, THAI ME UP became my must-visit dining places here in CDOC for the following reasons:
1. Ambience. Who would not love to stay on a very cozy and relaxing environment?
2. Food. I came to love Thai Food because of 'em.
3. Music. Most importantly, I go there because of the bossa nova/jazz they're playing. Yes, there's LIVE BOSSA! at Thai Me Up.
Until now, it's still my favorite restaurant. Definitely.
Why am I writing about 'em again?
Because there's something new at THAI ME UP! If we were THAId Up, then they will also FIL US UP! Ooohh… Yes.
Yesterday (March 10, 2012), we, the CDOBloggers, were invited to the grand opening of FIL ME UP, a haven for Filipino food lovers!
Basically, if THAI ME UP offers thai food, FIL ME UP offers delicious FILIPINO FOOD. Who doesn't like Humba? Okoy? Crispy Pata? Lumpia? If you're a sucker for these delightful delicacies, you will surely enjoy all these at FIL ME UP. Plus, they have the Seafood Special wherein a variety of sea food are in one platter. We were also able to taste their Fried Fish Fillet, Pork Spareribs, Spring Rolls, and Crispy Kangkong which I all love.
On the other hand, they also renovated their venue, adding Filipino touches on their interior design. When you get inside the place, you will see a lot of vintage objects in the Phil. So Filipino!
Two cuisines. One Destination. How cool is that? And if you're a food adventurer, you may try combining the dishes also.
Thai + Filipino = Perfection! Always appetizing!
There is something to look forward to at THAI ME UP and FIL ME UP! I'll definitely try all their Filipino dishes just like on their Thai cuisines. Excited for my next visit! Wanna come? Tara!
For queries and more info, call them at 738424 or visit their place at Capistrano St., Cagayan de Oro City.
If you have read my previous blogs under 'FOOD TRIP' category, you will know that one of my favorite restos here in CDOC is the THAI ME UP! I love the ambience, the bossa nova music, the staff, and most importantly, the food!
Now, there's something new there! The opening of FIL ME UP! They are now offering filipino cuisines to all filipino food lovers!
…And it's their GRAND OPENING tomorrow!
… and the CDOBloggers will be there!
Let's see if I would love their Filipino offerings as much as I love their Thai cuisines.
See you!
Thank you FIL ME UP/ THAI ME UP and Chiq Montes for the invitation.

I think I'll be going back to Honeybaked more often and try out their other salads. :)
Going green. :)
The Pinoy Caesar Salad I love.
It's made up of cabbage, egg, chicharon, and other ingredients I could not identify. Oh, their "dip" is yummy!
Plus, the place got a nice and comfy ambience. A perfect place to savor a salad. hehehe. :)
Wifi is available. Plus points!

(Photo by Sadie - She's gettin' as snap happy as her mama!)
Elmer's Glue
Step 1: Paint the canvas:
We were pretty sure we wanted this one to be yellow.
Step 2: Draw out your letter
I just free-handed it and erased when I screwed up (one of the millions of awesome things about acrylic paint...it lets you erase!)
Step 3: Bling it up!
Paint on two inches of Elmer's glue at a time, and then adhere stones:
Sadie did most of the blinging all by herself :)
Step 4: Re-paint the canvas because yellow isn't the right color:
And that's it!
Sadie's bling-tastic "S" is now hung proudly in her play area. I think you could do this with anything...it doesn't have to be a rhinestone letter. Maybe buttons, feathers, fabric scraps, scrapbook paper?
Go forth and bling something.

SOUTHPORT, NC (WECT) – Southport town leaders are in serious negotiation talks with a company who wants to purchase a large amount of fill dirt from a parcel of land owned by the city near the Sunny Point Military Terminal.
The company, Balfour Beatty, was recently awarded a DOT contract to use the dirt for a road project near the intersection of highways 211 and 133 near Bethel Road.
The majority of the land sits inside the blast zone near Sunny Point, therefore it cannot be developed residentially or commercially.
If approved, the deal would bring the City of Southport somewhere between $1.1 and $1.2 million, ultimately to be paid for by the state.
The land itself totals almost 450 acres.
The land was originally purchased by the city back in 2006 for $2.2 million to use as a sanitary spray field.
Mayor Robert Howard hopes to get some value back on the city's investment.
"We have some of the best dirt in southeastern North Carolina for road construction and other construction projects," said Howard. "We are in an enviable position I believe to be able to have a product that we can sell in the market place. The property still has a lot of value in it."
City leaders will move forward with negotiations with the Balfour Beatty group. Howard says he hopes to have a deal reached by the end of May.

Modern Records
Modern Records was an American record label formed in 1945 in Los Angeles by the Bihari brothers. In the 1960s, Modern Records went bankrupt and ceased operations, but the catalogue went with the management into what became Kent Records. This back catalogue was eventually licensed to the UK label Ace Records in the 1980s and later sold outright during the 1990s. Modern was also one of the big R&B labels with artists including Etta James, Joe Houston, Little Richard, Ike And Tina Turner and John Lee Hooker in the 1950s and 1960s. Having started as an R&B label, Modern was later one of the few R&B labels to routinely cover rhythm and blues hits on other labels, apparently in an attempt to broaden their appeal and reach the popular market. Here, they had less success and the company eventually went bankrupt, although the catalogue was maintained under similar management at Kent Records. Ace Records of the U.K. now owns the tapes.[1]

Seriously? This is as stupid as NYC's ban on Soft Drinks. My plastic grocery bags are recycled for use as pet waste disposal containment units. If they are made out of recycled and bio-degradable materials then what's the problem?
Petition: Ban plastic bags in Saratoga Springs
SARATOGA SPRINGS A group of Saratoga Springs-area residents are circulating a petition urging the City Council to ban disposable plastic bags in stores and markets in the city.
Nearly 400 people have signed the petition at SignOn.org in less than a week, said organizer Alex Chaucer.
Chaucer, a technology instructor at Skidmore College, said Monday that entire countries have banned or taxed the use of the common plastic bag like the ones used at supermarkets.
"We are just talking about the basic plastic supermarket bags," Chaucer said. He said produce bags and heavier, larger plastic bags would not be part of the proposed bag ban.
"Say no to disposable consumer culture. I support the effort to reduce plastic bag usage and waste in Saratoga Springs, NY," says the SignOn.org petition.
The petition notes that "on average plastic bags are used for 12 minutes, yet they will stick around for thousands of years as trash, polluting our waterways and harming animals."
"It's time to bring your own bag, Saratoga," the petition said.
The alternative to the plastic bag is for consumers to bring their own fabric grocery bags to the market with them and use them to carry home their groceries.
San Francisco enacted the nation's first plastic bag ban in 2007 with Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Aspen, Colo., and Hawaii following suit in recent years.
Chaucer said Rye in Westchester County adopted a plastic bag ban modeled after one enacted in Westport, Conn., the first such ban on the East Coast. Many West Coast cities have banned the use of the plastic bags.
He said Ireland bans or taxes such bags and in Washington, D.C., people must pay for their plastic bags, if they want them, and the money goes for the environmental cleanup of a river. He said plastic bags are banned in China and some African nations.
Last week, securing a plastic bag ban became a project of Sustainable Saratoga, a nonprofit, grass-roots organization that seeks to protect the environment for future generations, Chaucer said. A core group of about 10 local residents has been meeting in recent months to discuss the attempt to ban plastic bags.
"I've been involved with this since this summer," he said.
Chaucer said he and others have met with Saratoga Springs City Council members and Mayor Scott Johnson regarding the issue.
"The outpouring has been amazing. As it keeps growing, it becomes more and more powerful," Chaucer said about the petition drive that was nearing the 400 signature mark by Monday evening.
The plastic bag ban group wants to hold some public awareness events, including showing a documentary film and having a panel discussion about plastic bags and the environment.
"We also want to engage with local businesses," Chaucer said.
The city of Austin, Texas, became the latest city to ban the disposable plastic bags last week.
Some shoppers in Austin were still angry that they had to either bring their own bags or pay for thicker plastic or paper bags in shops, The Associated Press reported. But Austin Resources Recovery, the city's trash and recycling department, launched an $850,000 advertising campaign and offered free training for businesses to make a smooth transition to banning disposable plastic bags.
1 a.m.
1:12 a.m.
I'm guessing the issue is people get more plastic bags than they can re-use. I tend to keep my plastic bags for re-use, but I've got about 1,000 of them in my closet now. Way more than I can use. Though... the issue would be getting consumers to remember to bring their own fabric bags. I certainly have those, I just often forget. And oh- just for clarification, there is no ban on soft drinks in NYC, just an upper limit on the single-serving size sugar drinks stores can sell. Far from a "ban".
7:22 a.m.
Make the homeless and people who search for recycled bottles expand there recycleables search and include all types cans and plastic bag and containers. This would save our dump and get all these products containers reused. Oh! plastic drinking cups from the fast food companies take up a lot of space in the landfills. Let some of the big companies pay to put back our natural resources to reuse. This will clean up our streets and help out people to get that added income. Some people are lazy and DON'T recycle anything.

The makeup date is Sept. 26 as part of a doubleheader beginning at 4:05 p.m. ET.
With Hurricane Isabel approaching, Thursday's game time was moved from 7:05 p.m.
to 12:35 p.m., to potentially avoid the inclement weather. But the game was
played entirely in a downpour. By the fifth inning, the rains were heavy, and
crew chief Terry Craft called for the grounds crew to lay tarp on the field.
Forty-four minutes later, the game was called. Just a few minutes later,
Yankee players were dressed and headed out. But there was no sure-fire way to
leave town. The Yankees could not travel to Philadelphia because buses will not
drive over bridges with the threat of the hurricane.
It is uncertain whether they could fly out of Baltimore-Washington International
Airport to Tampa.
Yankees manager Joe Torre left Baltimore with some parting shots directed at the
Orioles about playing in the first place.
"I'm angry because I don't know what sense it makes," he said. "I don't know why
they are playing the game."
The Orioles offered to play a doubleheader Wednesday, but it was rejected by the
Players Association. According to Yankees player representative Mike Mussina,
Players Union general counsel Gene Orza suggested he reject the offer. Mussina
agreed and did not inform his teammates or Torre of the possibility.
When contacted, Orza said he suggested the doubleheader be played and Mussina decided against it.
The offer was never formally made to Yankees officials.
The Yankees played a day-night doubleheader last Saturday against Tampa Bay.
"If we would have been in New York, I am sure the Yankees would have done the
same thing," Orioles manager Mike Hargrove said. "You try to play every game you
The Orioles were tantalizingly close to winning this game by scoring a run in the
fifth inning. But they blew their chance with some confusion between Pedro Swann
and third-base coach Tom Trebelhorn.
Swann doubled off Mussina to begin the bottom of the fifth and, one out later,
Brian Roberts laced a single to left. Trebelhorn was waving Swann home but
suddenly put up the stop sign when left fielder Hideki Matsui quickly got the
ball to third baseman Aaron Boone. Swann was too far past third base and had no
choice but to dart for home. He was caught in a rundown.
"I got caught in between, and I got Pedro caught in between. It was bad
coaching," Trebelhorn said. "I saw the play the whole way and I had every
intention on scoring him. But it was my mistake."
Said Swann: "I was running full speed and was too far away from the bag.
[Matsui] made a good throw and Boone was just about six steps from the bag, so I
had to try to score."
After Luis Matos grounded to second base to end the inning, Craft called for
the tarp.
Mussina was going for win No. 200 in a place where he had so many impressive
wins before. He entered Thursday with 76 career wins at Camden Yards, including
a three-hitter in July in perhaps his most dominating performance this season.
Mussina started off well, retiring eight of the first nine batters he faced, four of which came by
strikeout. Roberts collected the Orioles' first hit in the third with a two-out
double into the left-field corner.
Matos followed by poking a single just past shortstop Derek Jeter into shallow
left field, cashing in Roberts to tie the score at 1.
The Yankees briefly jumped ahead in the top of the third when they collected
three hits off Orioles right-hander Pat Hentgen. Nick Johnson walked with one
out and moved to third on Jeter's single to right field.
Jason Giambi then followed with a double into the right-field corner, scoring
Johnson while Jeter raced to third. Hentgen then responded by striking out
Bernie Williams. After a walk to Matsui, he induced a popout from Boone.
Hentgen, pitching with a sore neck, allowed one run and five innings with four
strikeouts. He said he had no problem playing in such conditions.
"I think it was a good idea to move the game up to 12:30, and we
knew it was pretty much going to be a five-inning game," he said. "It just
didn't work out."

Every Boy Needs A Crayon
Raising three boys means I raised bits and pieces of quite a few other young men as well. How so? Well, each of my son's had his own friends, and those friends might have brothers, and before you knew it the double batch of chocolate chip cookies was gone. The house was in a comfortable shambles, knee hockey sticks, light sabers, and legos scattered everywhere. And, depending on which boys devoured the cookies, a new story or two was added to my mental bookshelf of memories.
Especially if one of the young ones was Tom. I am pretty sure Crockett Johnson misnamed this book. It has always been my sons' friend Thomas who comes to my mind when I think of a boy with a traveling story line. When Tom came over he regaled the group with the most outrageous stories, delivered with enthusiasm and a wide-eyed assurance that each and every word was true. Adults and kids alike would listen, mesmerized, as he told tale after tale.
If I gently pressed him to admit something could not have possibly happened he would take a deep breath and wander a different direction with the story. All his adventures began with an event that had a factual basis but then journeyed, like Harold, into the wild and mystical landscape of Tom's mind. The biggest fish, the hardest slap shot, the craziest great-uncle — all Tom's stories dealt with hyperbole, and none of them really ended until some other boy wrestled him to the floor or everyone went back outside to play ghosts in the graveyard or home run derby in the back.
But Some Need A Purple One
Harold and the Purple Crayon helped this mom and her sons make sense of a world that sometimes seems crazy, without structure or the expected happy endings. If you are not familiar with the book it is a fairly simple premise with a rich, embroidered rendition. Harold wonders about the world outside his window one night at bedtime and, with the help of an ever-shining crescent moon, drawn in typical resourceful manner by himself, he wanders out into its blank canvas, his trusty purple crayon clutched in his fist. Harold draws his own journey, imagines his conflicts and problems, solving them with quick thinking and a deft hand on the crayon. He then sails home again on waves of imagination and ingenuity to a homey window and comfy bed upon which he "draws" his covers, safe and snug.
Tom's mom was a dear friend with three sons like me, but with a challenge I would wish on no one. Ever since she discovered a lump when nursing her youngest son she battled an aggressive breast cancer. Our families of hockey playing boys grew closer as the cancer fought constantly to take her away. Each of her kids dealt with unspeakable sadness, fear and anger in his own way with the adults doing what they could to support.
Tom's over-the-top tales where he slew any manner of dragons were a way, I believe, to try to manage the feeling of helplessness and terror he experienced as his mother bravely faced her aggressor. Partially to gain some attention as the middle son and partially to hold the wolf behind the door Tom sat at the kitchen counter with me time and time again telling his stories. One day I remember saying, "Thomas, you certainly have a purple crayon!" hugging him as he pulled away, semi-indignantly, to continue the tale.
He was puzzled, so I gathered that day's "wild-bunch" together in front of the fireplace and read them Harold and the Purple Crayon. My three were familiar with the story line and shouted out Harold's solutions to certain tragedy and possible death. Tom, listening at last, absorbed the story and to a great extent the point I had been making. His eyes twinkled and he relaxed with the rest as Harold "drew" his destiny, with that steadfast moon lighting the way back to home.
Hold Tightly To That Crayon
The loss of a parent is devastating whenever it happens, and when Tom lost his mom at age 15 he struggled mightily. His friends and family did what they could, some dealing with their own raw pain. I was extremely proud of my sons and their care and compassion for Thomas, which continues to this day. No longer the passel of pups that tossed the living room, that cookie-eating crew has grown into giants who tower over me.
Still willing to come into our home to spin his tales, Tom regularly visits. He tears my heart out on Mother's Day and Christmas by calling me his "second mom," and then reattaches and repairs it instantly with his bear hug. He considers my sons his brothers and cheers them on or cuts them down to size depending on what they need at any given point. My husband keeps up with the latest local craft beers as Tom has a case with him every few visits to repay for the breakfasts, lunches, and dinners he shared with us while growing up.
Tom held onto his sanity as a child and adolescent with his stories, meandering, wild, outrageous, and always charming. When he sits down on the couch with my husband and me these days, sans light saber or knee hockey stick, he still prefaces the conversation by saying, "Let me take out my purple crayon and tell you what I've been doing."
Harold is probably drawing me a tissue right now.
Proof that a true friend sees through fancy clothes and shiny labels, Corduroy is a book that resonates with kids of all ages. Still a favorite of the kindergartners and 1st graders I teach!
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
We all have days like Alexander's, and it helps somehow to read about his when life is not going well. A must for every family and classroom.

LynnKK Feb 02, 2014 @ 11:15 amThank you very much. When you are reading to young kids sometimes the book itself is the story -- if that makes any sense at all. Appreciate the support.

CalobrenaOmai Feb 01, 2014 @ 11:43 pmI saw Corduroy! I used to own this book when I was little and read it every chance I got. Some months back, my nephew was introduced to the book and he loved it. I remember the Harold book from reading time in the class I help out in. The Alexander book is another reading time selection. Such an awesome lens! Thanks for sharing.
LynnKK Feb 02, 2014 @ 12:00 amThanks for your memories. Appreciate all who dropped by and you were so very kind.

ibidii Feb 01, 2014 @ 2:28 pmAwesome lens. My youngest got the Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day book and I loved reading it to her. I only had one son, but he and his 4 friends from the neighborhood were always at my home. I fed them quite frequently. Hot dogs and mac and cheese were flowing like water for them. We had a pool so that is why our house was very popular for the son, his friends and my 3 daughters and friends. So we always had a horde at our house. I have not read Harold and the Purple crayon so it will be on my list even though all my kids are adults and my grand kids [6 of them so far] are age 12 to 18.
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 3:02 pmThanks so much for stopping by. And very nice to meet another "den mother." I am sure if you experience Harold and the Purple Crayon you will quickly see why it is such a good read. Appreciate your support.
chrisilouhoo Feb 01, 2014 @ 2:12 pmThis was my favourite book as a child and now it's my go to book for baby showers! Thanks for a great review and a lovely story.
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 2:13 pmIt is one of the best. What a great idea for a gift! Thanks for stopping by.
susan-zutautas Feb 01, 2014 @ 1:35 pmI've never read Harold and the Purple Crayon before but from what you've said here I'm positive it is a wonderful book with a great message. I was thrilled when I saw that you'd gotten LOTD today and so happy that I've met you through Squidoo. Congrats!
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 2:12 pmThank you Susan! It has been wonderful meeting you as well and I know we will have a lot of fun reading and writing. Harold and the Purple Crayon really is a great book to have on your shelf for kids or even yourself -- particularly when you need a little inspiration to make things happen.
creativeexpress Feb 01, 2014 @ 1:12 pmThis is a great lens... This is a wonderful children's book
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 1:15 pmThanks for dropping by and for your kind words. It is a wonderful book -- such a jumping off point for young and not so young.

LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 1:14 pmThank you so much, Denise. I am honored to have been awarded the LOTD and am grateful the story has touched hearts.

RenaissanceWoman2010 Feb 01, 2014 @ 10:11 amOh, color this exquisite! Purple magnificence. You drew me in with your word crayons. I'll bet you have the ultimate 152- count Crayola pack. I always wanted one of those when I was Thomas and Harold's age. Still, it's pretty hard to beat one magical purple crayon. It can take you anywhere you want to go. Thanks for taking us on this inspirational journey. Congrats on Lens of the Day! I'm breaking out the crayons in celebration. :-)
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 10:45 amWhen I worked with slightly older kids I bought them the Crayola "Tower of Crayons." If they were good, or even if they were struggling (I worked for many years with kids with behavioral issues) those crayons helped us get through many a day. Thanks for the kind words. I bow to all of you; your lenses and the whole Squidoo platform is the inspiration.
CarolHoule Feb 01, 2014 @ 9:55 amYou have a purple crayon yourself, Miss Lynn. This is a beautiful and inspiring lens.
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 10:41 amThank you for the kind words. Miss Lynn --that's what my students call me. :-) As in , :Miss Lynn, Miss Lynn, Miss Lynn, Miss Lynn!!" Kids are amazing and they need us so much.

grammieo Feb 01, 2014 @ 8:43 amGreat Lens and love the sharing of the kids, yours and their friends. Good that they had a place to get chocolate chip cookies and an ear to listen.......
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 9:13 amI can only hope that others take the communal raising of kids seriously. It is a complex world, and the more ears, hearts and cookie the better. Thanks for your visit!
KarenKay Feb 01, 2014 @ 8:40 amBeautifully written! I love how you pulled your own personal story into this one. Makes it so much more meaningful. Well done!
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 9:12 amThanks, KK. I was given much when I raised all those rowdy boys. My joke is always that they can eat the cookies if they come to visit me in the "home" later in life. It is often said but still true -- it takes a village.
tonyleather Feb 01, 2014 @ 8:26 amWhat a very lovely post! Thank you!
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 9:09 amTony, thank you for your support and encouraging comments many times here at Squidoo. It is wonderful to share with such an intelligent audience.

LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 9:08 amThanks, Merrci! Very much appreciate the support. I am a bit overwhelmed today!

PaigSr Feb 01, 2014 @ 6:58 amI think I liked watching this better than reading it. And that is saying something from someone that loves books. Very well deserved LotD
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 9:06 amTake a look at ALL the YouTubes on Harold! It is such a wonderful story and sits behind me in my little reading nook at school. Kids today love it as much as ever, and with today's technology they are recording their takes on it for all to see. Very much appreciate your visit.
esmonaco Feb 01, 2014 @ 5:43 amWhat an amazing review, and just a wonderful story behind it. Thanks for sharing this and Congratulations on LOTD!!! Very Well Deserved!!!
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 9:04 amThank you for you kind words and for being so very welcoming here on Squidoo. I am honored.
Ruthi Feb 01, 2014 @ 2:33 amOh my, I think I need a purple crayon to color my tears away. What a touching look at you and your family you have shared in this review article. Yes, Harold and the Purple Crayon need to draw your readers a box of tissues.
LynnKK Feb 01, 2014 @ 9:03 amThank you, Ruthi! I have a rand new box (purple) Harold just drew right here. Thanks so much for the heartfelt comment. I hope we can all be there for the kiddos who need us.
Susan52 Jan 31, 2014 @ 1:14 pmLove this so-very-personal review of a wonderful classic. Thanks for sharing your heart!
LynnKK Jan 31, 2014 @ 4:07 pmThanks for the kind words, Susan. He is a pretty special young man and I was glad to be able to help him out just a little.
StrongMay Jan 30, 2014 @ 8:24 amI think this purple crayon deserves a Purple star, so I nominated you (fingers crossed). :)
LynnKK Jan 30, 2014 @ 10:28 amThank you so very much!
StrongMay Jan 30, 2014 @ 8:17 amI have this book! I loved it as a kid (can't leave all the adventures to the boys now can we, Harold? After all, what's the purple for). I stumbled across it just recently (unpacking after a move), and the stories are just as delightful today as they once were. This particular book has four stories in it - the first book of mine to finish a story but not the book - which is awesome!
We also have a game called The Purple Crayon, where at each person's turn they pick up a card that has an object written on it, the player has to draw that object into the story, and pass the story on to the next person, etc. The game ends when a player can't remember all the details of the outrageous adventure of the story.
And as far as lenses go, this one is very good!
LynnKK Jan 30, 2014 @ 10:28 amLove the extensions from this very special story. And I quite agree -- everyone needs her purple crayon.

Chancellor Block,
Please consider that UCLA is not only an academic institution, but a once-hugely successful athletic department. I used to work for the athletic training department, and used to be proud of UCLA's athletics, especially our non-revenue sports which used to be the prowess of our athletic department. If you have not noticed over the course of Dan Guerrero's tenure at UCLA, there has been a marked decline in the amount of conference and national championships. From averaging around 3.5 championships a year , we have now dropped to a pathetic 1.2 (if even, and this season doesn't look good at all).
Our once-proud women's soccer team embarrassed us this season at home, and has yet to produce a win over Stanford in the past couple years, succumbing frequently to USC as well. Our Track and Field teams have done nothing of note since 2004 (as the MPSF is NOT the PAC-12), and the men's cross-country and track and field teams have been perennially flailed. Men's Water Polo has had a National Championship drought like no other school in the MPSF that has a national championship - 3 of the top 4 men's water polo teams have fully cycled through the national championships, but the 4th, UCLA, has yet to win one in 7 years. Even with the retirement of the Greatest Volleyball Coach of All Time at the culmination of the 2011-2012 season, the coaching search hasn't even begun in earnest for the most decorated volleyball school in the nation, and continue the unparalleled legacy of Coach Al Scates. Drake Stadium is one of the most decrepit Track venues in the entire PAC-12, if not the entire West Coast, and looks worse than my high school track, which was renovated 15 years ago. Yes we got a new throws cage in 2007. That's it. Marshall Field is destroyed throughout the track and field seasons, making for shoddy and dangerous conditions for soccer players, and its location keeps the fans further away from the gameplay than most soccer facilities in the nation. Bringing in temporary bleachers for games is another sign the facility is lacking appeal to recruits. Getting to Jackie Robinson Stadium is still a nightmare for students that do not have cars, and barely any effort has been made to remedy this. Yes, understandably the Spieker Aquatics Center is an awe-inspiring facility, but how long did it take, and how much goading from the Spieker Family did it take to actually give the perennially top-5 teams a facility worth playing at? At least the Los Angeles Tennis Center at UCLA is a great facility, although this is probably due to the tremendous efforts of Bob Kramer and Billy Martin in running the Los Angeles stop on the ATP Tour, and the hugely successful tennis camps during the summer seasons. The renovation of Pauley Pavilion - home of the most championship-decorated teams in the nation has been shoddily handled at best. Having a corporate sponsorship rename the most historic home of collegiate basketball and volleyball due to lacking of fundraising efforts is unforgivable. The alternate venues for home games have the feeling of away games entrenched in a failing venue deep in enemy territory. Disappointing at the best for a die-hard Bruins fan.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and the first team I EVER rooted for was the "team wearing blue." It just so happened that this team was UCLA, playing USC in the 1986 Freeway Series in the Rose Bowl. We won that year. I live in Boston right now and am earning my doctorate working with one of the best Physical Therapy programs in the nation, and have no problem telling the Boston Bruins fans here that the UCLA Bruins are the original and the best. I know my acceptance into this Physical Therapy program had a GREAT deal to do with the quality of education I received from UCLA. Having gone to UCLA, and having worked intimately with the athletes and rest of the student body in ORL, USAC, ISU, Pediatric AIDS Coalition, SAA, Clothesline Project, Queer Alliance, OCHC, PRB, and Research opportunities throughout my 5 years at UCLA, I can truly appreciate the diversity and quality of the entire UCLA experience. As an alumnus, I have regrettably watched the regression of ALL our athletic facilities (except Jackie Robinson, and the useless renovation in 2006-7 of the Pauley Lockerrooms) and the majority of our athletics teams, and an extreme downturn in our recruitment and retention of quality athletes. I understand that a great deal of UCLA's worldwide recognition is its great research and academic facilities, but the UCLA brand extends (and should extend) beyond the scope of academia. We purport our status as the #1 NCAA Division Team Athletics Program in the nation, but Stanford and USC are right on our proverbial tail, and WILL surpass us in this continuing era of ineptitude.
Considering I graduated in 2007 from UCLA, my relative youth, and that I have not started working in my career field yet, I consider myself to be a rather generous donor to the UCLA Fund and the John Wooden Athletic Fund. I am writing this letter to you now to let you know that I will hereby cease ALL donations to UCLA, whether it be to the institution as a whole in the UCLA Fund, the Wooden Athletic Fund, or the Men's Volleyball team - which I will have you know is my favorite sports team in the entire world, and has been since I was in 7th grade (10 years before I graduated from UCLA!!!), until there is a SIGNIFICANT regime change in the Athletic Department that ensures Dan Guerrero will no longer control the UCLA Athletic Department, or make any sort of decision that will impact the school. Dan Guerrero has been the George W. Bush of athletic directors, taking an amazing and successful program into a debt-overwhelmed, under-financed, over-spending joke of an athletic department that claims #1 worldwide status, yet is completely unable to prove it in the competitions we engage in. The fact that NO coach wants to our football team given the respect that position lacks and the decrepit nature of our practice and game facilities (that was distinctly mentioned by the previous two head coaches) should be a CLEAR and definitive referendum on the department Dan Guerrero (failingly) heads. I will no longer support an institution that accepts failure. The fact that our academia can still be wildly successful in the face of ridiculous state funding cuts should be evident that despite the lessening levels of funding, despite the limited resources, with the RIGHT people, the UCLA Brand can be preserved for all times as the premier academic and athletic institution of the world. Some in the capital funding departments will scoff at this as an easy way out, or a cut-your-losses situation, but I can tell you right now, I will be tearing up any fundraising letter without so much as reading it until Dan Guerrero is removed from the UCLA community and a competent, dynamic, altruistic, and visionary AD can be installed and put us once again on the path to excellence in both the athletic and academic realms. I hope you understand the embarrassment the entire UCLA Alumni Community feels watching games on tv, which will only become worse given the heightened exposure to the national spotlight we will receive with the new PAC-12 TV Contracts. Be proactive, and please consider this a chance to reinvigorate the entire alumni and student base, as well of the faculty and staff and student-athletes that should be proud of working at a premier institution. Thank you for reading this.

Do your homework
The Questions
1. Series outcome (3 games) [3 points]
2. Thursday's game ended Coco Crisp's streak of 36 stolen base attempts without being caught. The end of one streak just means it's time to start another. How many SB / CS for Coco in the series? Name one player other than Coco (either team) that steals a base in the series. [ 2/ 2/ 3 points]
3. Sunday afternoon looks to have the marquee pitching matchup with Matt Cain facing
Brandon McCarthy A.J. Griffin. For each question, answer Cain only, McCarthy Griffin only, both, or neither: At least 7 IP / Gives up less than 6 hits / Gives up 3 or fewer ER / Allows 2 or more HRs. [ 2/ 2/ 2/ 2]
4. The Bay Bridge series always means big crowds. In last year's series in the east bay, the Coliseum was sold out for what turned out to be a sweep for the good guys. Not only that, but they tend to be lightning quick games, too. Over the past two years, only one of the six games in Oakland came in at over 2 hours 45 minutes, with two under 2:20. What is the average game length (in time) for the three games? [+/- 10 minutes] Is any game longer than 3:10? Does any game go into extra innings? [ 3/ 1/ 1 points]
5. Welcome to the big leagues Derek Norris. The A's newest catcher posted a .273 avg with 57 hits and 8 home runs in Sacramento this year. How many starts / H / K / BB for Derek in the series? How many Giants does he throw out trying to steal? [ 2/ 2/ 2/ 2/ 2]
6. Have a year, Melky Cabrera! The Giants' left fielder is second in the ML in batting average, leading the ML in hits (and currently the only player over 100), and third in runs scored. How many H / BB / K / RBI for Melky? [ 2/ 2/ 2/ 2]
7. What's the matter with Timmy? His ERA has ballooned to 6.19, he's given up nearly as many earned runs as he did all last year (same for wild pitches), and his strikeout/walk ratio is by far the lowest it's ever been. Does Lincecum get a Win, Loss, or ND in his start Friday? Also predict: # pitches +/-3 / H / K / ER. [ 1/
2 3/ 2/ 2/ 2]
Extra credit: Give yourself one point for each game you attend this series.

A source close to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu denied rumors that elections could be held within the next 90 days and that the prime minister could approve such a move by the end of the week.
"There are no elections on the horizon," the source close to Netanyahu said. "The move to expand the government did not work, but the coalition is still functioning well."
Earlier Monday, a senior coalition source said elections could take place within 90 days, hours after Kadima leader Shaul Mofaz appeared to have thwarted a split in his party that would likely have strengthened the ruling coalition.
The source said that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu could approve calling new elections in the coming days. The Knesset breaks for summer recess at the end of the week.
The prospect of new elections were a near certainty two-and-a-half months ago before Kadima joined the coalition at the last minute. Earlier this week, Shaul Mofaz pulled his party from the government and became the opposition leader for the second time this year.
Earlier Monday, Labor leader Shelly Yechimovich said the last week of before the summer recess should be devoted to passing legislation that would disperse the Knesset.
"There is a limit to the ability of the public to suffer," Yechimovich said.

Call For Papers
Women and Unions: Still the Most Difficult Revolution?
A Conference Commemorating Alice Hanson Cook's 100th Birthday
November 21-22, 2003
Ithaca, New York
Paper Proposal Deadline: August 15, 2003
Alice Hanson Cook (1903-1998) was one of the first scholars to study the plight of working women. Her research has influenced a wide range of feminist scholars, unionists, and leaders to increasingly recognize the need to focus on transforming working women's issues into societal priorities through collective action, such as unionization. The conference will expand on some of the most significant themes of Cook's book, entitled, The Most Difficult Revolution: Women and Trade Unions (with Val R. Lorwin and Arlene Kaplan Daniels, 1992). The book examined how working women's experiences in Western European countries could influence and inform the progress of union women in the United States. We will use the experiences of women's unionizing in both developed and developing nations to broaden the scope of Cook's book and to assess and improve women's positions in unions in the twenty-first century. All presentations should be accessible to an interdisciplinary audience.
The conference will bring together influential scholars, union activists, and policymakers from a wide range of countries reflecting today's globalization of both corporate structures and the correspondingly necessary union structures. We welcome proposals from researchers, activists, and policymakers.
We are particularly interested in proposals for papers that address one of the following themes:
(1) Internal gender relations in unions
(2) Innovative models for unionization based on new roles for community-based organizations
(3) The relationship between women's increased participation in their unions and enhancing workers' voices in overall union decision-making
(1) Internal gender relations in unions
(2) Innovative models for unionization based on new roles for community-based organizations
(3) The relationship between women's increased participation in their unions and enhancing workers' voices in overall union decision-making
The conference will not only pay tribute to Alice Hanson Cook's legacy but it will also continue and expand on her work into the twenty-first century. In today's international climate of conflict and uncertainty, this conference presents an opportunity for research faculty, leaders of the feminist and labor community, and policymakers to work cooperatively to develop a common vision for women and their unions.
All proposals must be in English. We are particularly interested in research papers and country case studies.
Paper proposals should include the following information:
a. Title
b. Which of the three conference themes will be addressed
c. A maximum 300 word summary describing the topic, methodology, and aspect of women and unions that will be summed up
d. Relevant personal information indicating institutional affiliation (if any) and what training or experience the author brings to the proposal
e. Author's name, address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address
Papers and country case studies will be prepared prior to the conference and circulated, so that only summary presentations will be made at the conference, leaving most of the time for analysis, discussion, and synthesis. Papers will be available for download at this website by the end of October.
Please send proposals to:
Francine Moccio, Ph.D.

16 East 34th Street, 4th Floor
New York, NY 10016
Or as an e-mail attachment to:
Proposals must be received by August 15, 2003. Notifications will be mailed by September 5, 2003. Accepted papers must be received by October 24, 2003 to ensure circulation prior to the conference. The conference will be at the ILR School in Ithaca, New York, November 21-22, 2003.
Details and updates will be posted at this website.

Scouts' movie gift to sick children
3:00pm Tuesday 22nd April 2014 in News
CHILDREN in the Kingfisher Ward at Dorset County Hospital will now be able to watch their favourite films thanks to a local scout group.
Weymouth and Portland District Scouts chose the children's ward as its chosen charity for 2013.
During the year, the scouts held many fundraising activities, including a St George's Day parade and a carol service at Christmas to raise money for the ward.
They managed to raise a grand total of £400 and decided to purchase portable DVD players for the ward to allow the children to watch some of their favourite films as they recover on the ward.
Julie Goodall, who is a playleader on the Kingfisher Ward, said: "We are really grateful for this very generous donation from Weymouth and Portland District Scouts. "It's wonderful that the money has been raised by children for children."
The scouts held a special cheque presentation with nurses from the ward last week.

RE: Parsonage Road Cemetery
Do you know anything about Cornish? If you know where the Cornish Fair is each year, that's a help. It's on the road next to the Cornish Fair where the horse pulling is done. If you go up that road from Town House Road, it's after our highway department, on the right, on top of a little hill, perhaps 1/2 a mile from Town House Road. You have to park on Parsonage Road and climb up some steep steps.
Someone there you're specifically looking for? It's really tucked into the woods. One cemetery I want to get to to take photos of the stones, but need to do it when the leaves on the trees are all off.

I am updating my Aldous family tree on Ancestry and have found the information that you have added to Find a Grave has enabled me to add much interesting and valuable information. Thank you very much for the work you have put into this project.
I have already found links to the Bingham family so maybe we are related in some way. Do you have a family tree on Ancestry or genesreunited that is available for other members to view? It could be possible that we could exchange information. I am happy to exchange information with any other members researching the Aldous family line.

I would have to say that the 3DS game prices are a bit steep--even a 5 or 10 decrease for some titles would be just right--so you would have price points ranging from 30 to 40 dollars--
I still don't like that its $40 across the board..thats just pretentious.
|michael leisz
I never wanted to believe that mobile gaming would replace the handheld console, but this article makes a good point: if the DS audience hasn't migrated to the 3DS, and if they aren't buying new DS games, they are shoe-ins for the mobile demographic, and thats a lot of shoe-ins.
I, for one, could never play an iOS game for too long, even the quality titles like Sword & Sworcery EP. Part of it has to do with the button-less interface, but a larger part has to do with the insane over-inundation of software. It's difficult to even find a game worth sticking to in such a flooded market, and the catch-22 is that its difficult to stick to a game when there are so many more to check out.
|Matt Fleming
Put out a few Pokemon games for it, and 3DSes will sell like hotcakes.
|Harry Fields
God I hope this "Smartphone is going to replace portable consoles" thing dies. There's no real money in publishing to "app stores". Angry Birds, a game good enough to charge 30$, doesn't sell at 5$. And that's the definite exception.... most apps prove to be a labor of love only. 3DS is capable of providing a much richer experience for the core gamer. Smart phones and tablets are capable of providing some standout games that no one will pay for. It's great for Indies, bad for the industry as a whole.
|Alex Leighton
I consider myself to be quite "hardcore", yet there just isn't a place for a portable in my day to day life, and there hasn't been for a long time. If I'm out of my house I'm doing something, otherwise I'm in my house where I can play console or pc games on a 32 inch screen. You could give me a 3DS for free and I probably wouldn't use it.
That's just me though, but there would have to be some unheard of orgasmically good game to get me using a portable instead of a console or pc.
Your hope will come true because portable consoles will be dead soon enough so as nothing left to replace. You're still thinking about this in the packaged goods sense. Actually most of the revenue for smartphone games don't come from the $0.99 or $1.99 download sales, Angry Birds being one of the few exceptions. Rather its from the free games with microtransactions that are driving the market. The mobile games market has moved to free to play. There are plenty of developers making big big money with F2P. Have you ever heard of DENA or GREE? Well both doing about $700M-1B revs from mobile games of which its all free-2-play. Nintendo and the Sony PSP are dinosaurs from the last age. They are still trying to stick with the old model of selling a game for $40 while the world has moved on to free.
|warren blyth
I think it's fascinating that Nintendo slashed the price so much, so soon.
I wasn't bothered by the price. I was just waiting for Kid Icarus Uprising to come out. sooo. huh.
I think their goal here is really to fight off PSVita. The best thing PSVita could do in return is to name a lower price standard for it's games ($20 would be amazing, and very hard for Nintendo to fight off. It would also make Nintendo look bad for recent PR comments about the need to keep games priced high. )
(Would also sort of come into line with the "$15 established cost of downloadable games on consoles"... which is arguably expected to be $20 soon?).
Even if Sony just said the standard price of PSVita games will be $35, they'd be positioning themselves well against Nintendo? I'd pay a little extra for the core system if I could then spend less on the games I buy for it, for the next 2 to 5 years.
I think both of these portables systems are tied into their core home console (if only in mindshare), so they are really competing with each other more than with mobile. I think it boils down to "do I want the cheap 3D toy with two low res screens, or the more solid device with one hi res screen and a weird backfacing touch interface?" I think Vita sounds much more interesting (and has several interesting launch titles). shrug.
|Casey Dockendorf
I think the price drop and an increase in games is exactly what this system needs to get into full swing. I had little intention of purchasing one before but since this announcement the first thing I thought was "Now i'll buy one!" And most people I know have said the exact same thing. The device is brand new still and there is a whole lot of appeal to the 3DS. If Nintendo would have launched this thing at this price in the first place I bet they would have sold a ton more at the beginning. I wouldn't be surprised at all if by next week Gamasutra posted an article that says:

My naive take is that this is a bad move. It undermines the perceived value of the device itself, and it alienates the early adopters who are used to price drops after they buy-in, but not this much this soon. Unless the 20 VC games are worth it to them they will likely feel hard done by.

It's funny... in my case, I got the 3DS, because I've had to return one too many DS lites for the fragile hinge issues (and unresponsive shoulder buttons), and because the one DSi I once had was unusually crash-prone. So I didn't exactly pay full price to upgrade to the 3ds... but I'm glad I have it. It's a solidly built system... and at least with the Nyko battery, it doesn't suffer the laughably bad battery life that the PSP is infamous for.
That said, I've still yet to find a game that is worth full price for the 3DS. I was looking forward to Splinter Cell 3D, but seeing it in action left me very disappointed. And with both Saint's Row and MegaMan Legends getting cancelled for the 3DS, that means I now have to wait even further for a game worth playing made for 3DS (Sorry, I resent Zelda and refuse to support that franchise - especially since it is OoT that made me resent the series).
That said, I personally wouldn't spend more than $30 on a handheld game... $40 across the board is horrible. Not as bad as $50 as Sony had the gall to charge for some of its launch PSP games though. The overall pricing structure for 3DS games needs a significant overhaul, and it's as simple as that.

I acknowledge more than I did in the past the consumer power smartphone and even Facebook games have over the market now. Thing is even the best of games on these platforms are not enough to satisfy those used to traditional console and handheld games, there will always be a market for these traditional handhelds.
That is until all smartphones have a full gaming pad like the XPeria Play and fragmentation becomes less of an issue. Pushing picture to the TV would be great too.

The problem isn't the "post-iPhone world". The DS and full priced DS games were very successful alongside the iPhone/iPad.
This is Nintendo's own doing. The 3DS hardware and software has a *completely* different philosophy to the DS. It is 3D obsessed. People don't want 3D. They are put off by it. So many game industry and self-identified gamer types (including most Gama commenters) were so sure that 3DS would absolutely explode in popularity (what these people predict, the opposite will happen... see DS, Wii) but there were very early signs that Nintendo were once again creeping towards making 3D games for their own enjoyment rather than making games according to the customer definition of quality. They're on their N64 trajectory *again* and if they haven't learnt from past mistakes they deserve to fail.
If the 3DS was actually not 3D focused and launched with a proper 2D mario game it would be a completely different story. Therefore, I'd say Nintendo are losing to the competition of their former selves rather than portable computers.

Hell what would I love to have $40 game prices ... switch to europe and start to whine when you realize that you pay $70-$80 for 3DS titles and over $350 for the console at the time (including taxes)
Might be that Nintendo thinks its a tad expensive in the USA but as long as they don't acknowledge that its totally out of scale in europe and needs to be brought in line with the very bad currency standing of YEN and USD soon its truely hilarious as by now even apple corrected the completely wrong currency (only by 10% of the 30% delta but at least ... nintendo has nearly a 50% delta at the time and didn't show any sign to correct it)

1 million bought Zelda 3ds worldwide. 1+ million bought Pokemon on the DS this past quarter. Consumers still want those games. And still will pay $30-$40 for them.
Let's also not forget that those games are worth $15-$20 resale easy either. $30-$40 isn't the true cost of those games. And let's not forget that there's room for all kinds of experiences. Large and small.
Plus there is the 3ds eShop. There are a lot of $2-$5 games on there and some $5-$10 games as well. It's a decent enough shop. And should get better even. And probably will end up with many of popular cheap games.
What happens when the novelty of cheap touchscreen-only games dims and the reality of touchscreen analog sticks shines through? And what happens when the easy low hanging fruit has been picked?
Anyway I'm sure iOS will eat the more casual customers Nintendo had, but were those customers really buying software to begin with? Not sure they will be a massive loss.
Folks will still want the big Nintendo 1st party games. There isn't a substitute for those games on the iOS platform. And I bet the farm that folks still will pay for quality software.
And Nintendo has been written off before. The media thought the Gamecube was its last games console. And that the PSP was going to kill off its handheld business.
Plus I don't think many have considered that iOS may just bring more people to gaming which can be a good thing for everyone including Nintendo.
