text: I have a client who wants the name Jason Drysdale, for the late 13th century, an Irish conscript in the English army. Good news, I haven't found a name conflict. Bad news, I haven't found support for the name. My assumption is that this would be an Anglicized Irish name. Drysdale seems to be Scottish. Jason doesn't appear in any of the Anglicized name rolls I've found. Anyone able to help this gentle? Dreda

The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and the International Union of Railways (UIC) are hosting the 8th World Congress on High-Speed Rail in Philadelphia from July 11 to 13 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
This is the first time that the World Congress on High-Speed Rail has come to the U.S. About 1,000 attendees from 37 countries are expected to attend. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will make remarks in the opening session.
"APTA is very excited to be hosting this prestigious, international high-speed rail congress," said APTA President and CEO Michael Melaniphy. "High-speed rail experts from all across the world are coming to the United States to share their expertise and their proven success with high-speed rail in their respective countries.
The UIC World Congress on High-Speed Rail is the leading global event for showcasing and exchanging information on the developments and achievements of high-speed rail worldwide. Educational sessions and roundtable discussions will address technical and economic issues. The high-speed rail trade exhibition is the largest in the world dedicated to high-speed rail equipment, infrastructure projects and services.
At Wednesday's opening session, APTA Chair and Dallas Area Rapid Transit President/Executive Director Gary Thomas announced the results of a national survey that show that nearly two-thirds of Americans are interested in traveling by high-speed rail and the figure jumps to 74% among those in the 18 to 24 age bracket.
"People want high-speed rail and it is time for high-speed rail to come to the United States," said Thomas. "It is the logical next step in the evolution of a balanced transportation system needed to support mobility and economic growth in the coming decades."

Representing Israel in the Davis Cup, highlights include an upset win in 2007 over World No. 7 Fernando González and being a key factor in Israel's semifinal run in 2009. In 2008 he beat World No. 5 David Ferrer in straight sets, and in 2010, he beat World No. 7 Andy Roddick in straight sets. Sela reached the fourth round of the 2009 Wimbledon Championships and has finished runner-up in two ATP tournaments in Beijing and Atlanta.

Early life[edit]
Sela's father Michael, a bus driver, and mother Anca, a nurse, immigrated to Israel from Romania.[2][3] His family name was originally Sălăjean, but his father changed it so that it would be more easily pronounced in Israel. He grew up in Kiryat Shmona, near the Israel-Lebanon border.[4]
At the age of two, Dudi, diminutive of David, had his hands on his first racket, and at the age of seven he began to play tennis.[5][6] His tennis idols were his brother Ofer, who was a top 200 player, and the Israeli Amos Mansdorf.[2][4] Sela spent hours as a junior studying tapes of Mansdorf, hoping to one day match his achievements.[7]
Juniors: 2000–03[edit]
In April 2000 Sela won his first title, the Haifa International title, with partner and countryman Idan Ben Harosh. In Corfu, Greece, Sela captured the doubles title, while narrowly losing the singles final.
In April 2001 he reached the Israel International singles final, and won the doubles title with Israeli Maor Zirkin. In July of the same year, he won his first singles title in Van Keeken of the Netherlands. The following month, at the Fischer Junior Open he won the singles, and also captured the doubles title with Michael Ryderstedt of Sweden.
In 2002, Sela enjoyed a strong showing in the Australian Open Junior Competition, reaching the quarterfinals. In April, he took home the Beaulieu Sur Mer trophy with a strong performance. In the French Open Juniors he cracked the final eight.
2003 was Sela's last year as a junior. He reached the semifinals of the 2003 US Open Junior Championships, before losing to Marcos Baghdatis. He also reached the Roland Garros Junior singles quarters for the second consecutive year, and won the French Open 2003 doubles title with partner Győrgy Balázs of Hungary. In March 2003 he won the Australia F1 tournament in Tasmania. In July he triumphed at the Togliatti competition in Russia, resulting in his ATP ranking shooting up 103 places to 256.[8]
Sela's highest junior world rankings were No. 9 in the ITF singles rankings (in 2002) and No. 16 in doubles.

Pro career[edit]
His best results in 2004 were the semifinals at the Covington Challenger, and the quarterfinals in four other Challenger tournaments.[2]
Sela had a successful year on the ATP Challenger circuit in 2005, winning tournaments in Vancouver, Canada, and Lexington, Kentucky, in consecutive weeks. He had a 21–11 record in Challengers.[2]
In 2006 Sela won more USTA Pro Circuit singles titles than any other man – all at the Futures level – with five. He picked up consecutive wins twice during the year, at events in Claremont, California, and Costa Mesa, California, in September and in Waikoloa, Hawaii, and Honolulu in November. His other win came at a tournament in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the last week of October.[9]
In January 2007, Sela qualified for the main draw of the 2007 Australian Open. In the first round he upset Paradorn Srichaphan of Thailand, who was ranked #56 in the world. In the second round, he lost to Marat Safin in five sets, despite starting by leading the Russian two sets to one. In April 2007, Sela lost in the semifinals in a Challenger tournament to Paul Baccanello in Lanzarote, Spain.
In July 2007 he lost in the finals of the Open Diputación in Córdoba, Spain. In the tournament he defeated #47 ranked Albert Montañés. Later in July, he won a challenger title in Togliatti, Russia, his fourth career title, beating Russia's Mikhail Ledovskikh in the final.[10]
Sela then qualified for the US Open. In the first round of the main draw he defeated Nicolás Lapentti, his fourth upset of a top 100 player in the first 8 months of the year. Lapentti was once ranked as high as #6 in the world, but at the time of the match was ranked #80. Sela lost to world #23 Juan Mónaco in the second round.
In October he first defeated world #51 Juan Martín del Potro at the Japan Open in Tokyo, followed by #90 Boris Pašanski. Sela won the Seoul Challenger tournament later in October, winning all five of his matches in straight sets. The win lifted him to a career-high 73 in the world.[11]
Sela had considered retiring before the start of 2008 if he did not make a breakthrough, but things came together. In October he said: "My target is to reach the top 70 within the next year."[12]
He lost in the finals of the ATP Taiwan Challenge in Kaohsiung in November to Lu Yen-hsun, but won the doubles title together with Stephen Amritraj of India.[13] He won the Keio Challenger in Yokohama the following week, losing only one set (in a tiebreaker). In December 2007, he had his revenge on Marat Safin in Saint Anton, with a straight-set win. It was his tenth win over a player in the top-100 in the year. For the year he compiled a 33–14 match record in Challenger play with two titles, went 10–5 (all on hard courts) in ATP level competition, and became the first Israeli man to finish in the top 100 since Harel Levy in 2001.[2]
In the Australian Open, Sela won his first round match over qualifier Martin Slanar but lost his second round to world #24 Ivo Karlović.
In March at the Pacific Life Open he defeated world #49 Nicolas Kiefer, then at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami he defeated world #48 Hyung-Taik Lee of Korea, and #14 Tommy Robredo of Spain in the 2nd round. In May in Austria he defeated world #80 Mischa Zverev of Germany and in July he won the Vancouver challenger, beating Kevin Kim in the final.
Sela was gravely disappointed by the failure of the Israel Olympic Committee to allow him to represent Israel at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.[14] Despite the fact that Sela met the International Olympic Committee's criteria to play in the Olympics, and the Israel Tennis Association recommended that he deserved to go, the Israel Olympic Committee refused to accept the recommendation.[14] Sela said he learned he wasn't going to be permitted to go to the Olympics because "I wasn't inside the top 50 ranked players.... I met the International Olympic Committee's criteria. But they don't want to send me, and I don't understand why. It's not like I'm 500th in the world, I'm 60th. When Nicolás Massú won the Olympics he was ranked 70th, so it shows anything can happen. I want to go and be the first Israeli to play in the men's singles for 20 years."[14]
In August Sela defeated world #97 Vince Spadea of the United States at the Legg Mason Classic in Washington.[15] Later in the month he beat world #99 Donald Young, in New Haven, Connecticut at the Pilot Pen tournament.
Sela reached his first ATP Tour final in September at the China Open, while ranked #92. Sela, unseeded, defeated the world #61 Frenchman Nicolas Devilder in the first round. In the second round, Sela upset the first seed and world #5, David Ferrer, in straight sets. Sela continued his run by defeating the sixth seed, world #16 Tommy Robredo, and the seventh seed, world #35 Rainer Schüttler. Sela was defeated by Andy Roddick in the final. Sela became the first Israeli since Harel Levy in 2001 to reach an ATP final.[2] "Dudi reached the final and realized he had it", said his brother Ofer. "He beat top-30 players day after day.... It was the first time he proved he was no paper tiger, but one who can dish it out to everyone. He always knew he had the potential, but suddenly he understood how to fulfill it."[16]
In October, he defeated the world #72 Victor Hănescu at the Kremlin Cup.
By December 2008 Sela had slipped out of the top 100, however, and he was advised to skip his year-end vacation and play three Challenger tournaments that month. That way he could earn some money, return to the top 100, and qualify directly for the Australian Open.[16] Instead, Sela chose to return to Israel for a month of training, and work on his weaknesses with his coach, Yoram Menahem.[16] During that time he changed his stance and serve.[16] "Many would have opted for the Challengers, and the safe money", said his brother Ofer seven months later, "but Dudi was very confident in his decision, and looking back he really matured with it. His career looks different now."[16]
In the Australian Open, Sela won three rounds of qualifiers in order to make the main draw. In the final round, Sela beat Grega Žemlja of Slovenia in dramatic fashion, surviving six match points.
In the main draw, Sela beat 30th-seeded German veteran Rainer Schüttler, who was ranked number 31 in the world. In the second round, he defeated world number 44 Victor Hănescu of Romania, saving all 12 of Hănescu's break points. He was the first Israeli man to reach the third round of a Grand Slam since Amos Mansdorf progressed to the round of 32 in Wimbledon in 1994.[17] In the round of 32, however, Sela was defeated by fifth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
In February at the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis, Sela made it through two rounds of qualifying matches, and then as far as the semifinals. Along the way he beat world number 92 Robert Kendrick, world number 73 Bobby Reynolds, world number 54 Florent Serra of France, and world number 43 Igor Kunitsyn of Russia. With that, he raised his world ranking to number 65. In late February at the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships, he beat world number 80 Philipp Petzschner of Germany. In March, he defeated world number 42 José Acasuso at the BMW Tennis Championship, but withdrew in his next match after suffering a leg injury.
In May, he reached a new career-high world ranking of number 55. That month, he won his first round match at the 2009 French Open, his first French Open victory ever, against Jean-René Lisnard of Monaco.[18] In June at the Ordina Open, he defeated world number 59 Christophe Rochus, and at 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands in a grass-court tuneup for Wimbledon, he beat world number 39 Igor Kunitsyn. He again reached a career-high singles ranking, this time number 46.
In the first round at Wimbledon, Sela defeated Mexican Santiago González and in the second round, he upset 2008 semifinalist, world number 29 German Rainer Schüttler, seeded eighteenth.[19] In the match, Sela produced an exciting array of shots, and exhibited a fierce backhand, as well as more subtle drop shots.[20]
"I like it when there is a lot of chaos going on on the court. It reminds me of Israel. I play a lot better when it's like that."[21]
In the third round, Sela was urged on by a contingent of supporters who for much of the first two sets chanted a Hebrew song, translated roughly as: "David, King of Israel is alive and lives on!"[22] Sela combined solid ground strokes that included a potent backhand with a series of increasingly effective rushes of the net to defeat world number 15 Tommy Robredo of Spain, seeded fifteenth; he is now 3–0 lifetime against Robredo.[22][23][24][25] Al Jazeera described the upset as a "shock result".[26] That advanced Sela to the round of 16, his first Grand Slam 4th round, which The Independent described as the "surprise of the week".[22][24][25][27] Sela became the first Israeli man in 20 years (since Amos Mansdorf in 1989) to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon, and the fourth Israeli man ever (and first since Mansdorf at the 1992 Australian Open) to reach the fourth round in a Grand Slam.[7][28] The victory guaranteed him a payday of at least $80,000.[29][30]
Sela next sought to join Shlomo Glickstein (1981 Australian Open), Mansdorf (1992 Australian Open), and Shahar Pe'er (2007 Australian Open and 2007 US Open) as the only Israelis to have made it to a Grand Slam quarterfinal.[31] He was defeated in the fourth round, however, by the 2008 Australian Open champion, then-world number 4 Serbian Novak Djokovic.
On the strength of his Wimbledon performance, Sela rose to a career-high world number 33 in July 2009.[32] Following his victory in the Davis Cup against Russia the next week, he rose again to a new career high, this time number 29, one better than the career-high of Davis Cup teammate Harel Levy.[33][34]
In late July, Sela was seeded second for the 2009 Indianapolis Tennis Championships in singles.[35] In doubles, Sela partnered American Jesse Levine and defeated Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan and Josselin Ouanna of France to make it to the quarterfinals.[36]
On June 10, 2010, at the 2010 Aegon Championships, Sela upset number 4 seed, and world number 7, Andy Roddick in straight sets.[37] On August 8, 2010, he won the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open title, upsetting the first seed Taylor Dent in the semifinal and the fourth seed Ričardas Berankis in the final. He has a career 15–0 in this tournament (including winning 2005 and 2008 titles).
2012 – Present[edit]
Sela defeated American Sam Querrey in Hall of Fame Tennis championships.[38]
In March 2013, Dudi Sela reached the Round of 64 at the Miami Masters, where he lost 2–6 4–6 to world number 9 ranked player Janko Tipsarevic.
In September 2013, Dudi Sela defeated Andrey Kuznetsov of Russia W 7–6(2), 6–3, 6–7(2), 5–7, 6–4 in the first round of the 2013 US Open. Sela then lost 4–6 4–6 1–6 in the second round to Janko Tipsarevic. In 2013, Dudi also won challenger events in Tashkent, Astana and Busan. Additionally, he was also a finalist in a challenger event at Istanbul.
In January 2014, Sela reached the Quarterfinals of the Chennai Open in India beating Lukas Lacko and Mikhail Youzhny before losing to Edouard Roger Vasselin. In the first round of the Australian Open, Dudi lost to Jarkko Nieminen 6–3, 6–7(3), 7–6(3), 3–6, 3–6.
In February, Sela reached the quarterfinals of the PBZ Zagreb Indoors where he beat Lukas Rosol and Lukas Lacko before losing to Bjorn Phau 4–6 3–6. At the Delray Beach Open in Florida, Dudi lost to John Isner 6–3, 1–6, 6–7(5) in a tight second round match.
Davis Cup[edit]
In late 2005, he joined the Israeli Davis Cup team. He is 12–6 through July 2009.[41]
In April 2007 he upset Andreas Seppi, ranked #91 in the world, as Israel defeated Italy.
Before the Chile-Israel Davis Cup match began in September 2007, even The Jewish Chronicle wrote: "Led by Fernando González (6) and Nicolás Massú (72), it is hard to see Israel's Dudi Sela (105) and Noam Okun (186), backed up by doubles specialists Andy Ram and Jonathan Erlich, winning the contest. González and Massú are also a formidable doubles partnership, having won the Olympic gold medal in Athens in 2004."[42]
That same month, before playing Nicolás Massú of Chile in the first match of the tie, Sela said: "We like being the underdog. I'm very pleased with the fact that I'm playing first and I'm very confident of claiming the win."[43] He then proceeded to upset Massu, ranked #72 in the world, and formerly ranked #9 in the world, in a 5-hour 7-minute match. "This is definitely the biggest win in my career", Sela said afterwards.[44]
"Something changed in me at the end of the fourth set. Suddenly, I felt I was entering the zone. I was in a world of my own, and I simply didn't pay any attention to what was happening around me. I was just concentrated on my game. I felt so good that I was afraid it would end. Because I wanted to stay in the zone at any price I started to play real fast. I didn't wait in between points, which is usually not a good move, but at that stage the only thing on my mind was how to keep my zone, and that was it."[45]
Later in that Davis Cup tie, Dudi Sela defeated #7 in the world Fernando González in a 5-hour 1-minute match. It is arguably the greatest tennis match ever played in Israel.[46] The victory lifted Israel over Chile and into 2008's World Group. Gonzalez was at the time the highest-ranked player Sela had ever beaten in his career (he later beat world #5 David Ferrer in Beijing in September 2008),[47] and his 6th upset of a top-100 player in the first 9 months of the year. Elated, Sela said "This is definitely the happiest day of my life." Sela was congratulated over the phone by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President Shimon Peres after the match.[48]
In the 2008 World Group, Israel hosted Sweden in Ramat HaSharon.[49] Sela started with a win against world #71 Jonas Björkman and gave Israel an advantage of 1–0. He then lost to world #60 Thomas Johansson as Israel lost the tie 3–2. In the 2008 World Group Playoffs, Sela led the Israeli team to a 4–1 victory over Peru at Ramat Hasharon. Sela won both his singles contests, defeating Iván Miranda and Luis Horna.
In the 2009 World Group Playoffs in March 2009, Israel again faced seven-time Davis Cup champion Sweden. An amusing moment occurred during Sela's opening match when the Israeli fans, to the Que Sera, Sera tune of the Doris Day hit song from the 1950s, sang "Dudi Sela, Sela, whatever will be will be."[50] Sela led the Israeli team to a come-from-behind 3–2 victory over the 7-time Davis Cup champion Swedes[51] at Baltic Hall in Malmö, Sweden, to advance in the 2009 Davis Cup. Sela won each of his singles matches in 5 sets, coming from behind to defeat Andreas Vinciguerra in his hometown and came from behind to stun 2002 Australian Open champion Thomas Johansson. Sela views it as the biggest win of his career to that point.[4] In their 84-year Davis Cup history, the Swedes had never before lost a tie after holding a 2–1 lead. The last time Israel's Davis Cup team reached the level of being one of the top eight tennis nations in the world was in 1987, against India.[52]
Israel (ranked 8th in the Davis Cup standings, with 5,394 points) hosted heavily favored Russia (which won in both 2002 and 2006, and was the top-ranked country in Davis Cup standings, with 27,897 points) in a Davis Cup quarterfinal tie in July 2009, on indoor hard courts at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv.[53][54] Israel was represented by Sela, Harel Levy, Jonathan Erlich, and Andy Ram. Russia's lineup consisted of Marat Safin (#60 in the world; former world #1), Igor Andreev (24), Igor Kunitsyn (35), and Mikhail Youzhny (69; former world #8).[55][56] Sela said before the tie: "We feel we can beat the Russians."[57] The stage was then set by Safin, who prior to the tie told the press: "With all due respect, Israel was lucky to get to the quarterfinals."[58] The Israeli team's response was to beat the Russian team in each of their first three matches, thereby winning the tie. Levy, world #210, beat Russia's top player, Andreev, world #24 in the opening match. Sela (#33) followed by beating Russian Youzhny. Israeli captain Eyal Ran likened his players to two fighter jets on court, saying: "I felt as if I had two F-16s out there today, they played amazingly well." The 10,500 spectators were the largest crowd ever for a tennis match in Israel.[59] The next day Israelis Ram and Erlich beat Safin and Kunitsyn in front of a boisterous crowd of over 10,000.[60] Even the Saudi Gazette described the doubles match as a "thrilling" win.[61] Ran was carried shoulder-high around the Tel Aviv stadium, as the 10,000-strong crowd applauded.[62] With the tie clinched for Israel, the reverse singles rubbers were "dead", and instead of best-of-five matches, best-of-three sets were played, with the outcomes of little to no importance.[63] Israel wrapped up a 4–1 victory over Russia, as Levy defeated Kunitsyn, while Sela retired with a wrist injury while down 3–4 in the first set against Andreev.[64]
Israel, however, lost to Spain in the semi-finals, 4–1. Their only win coming in the last match, in which Harel Levy beat Juan Carlos Ferrero.
Playing style[edit]
Sela is very fast, and viewed as a serve and volleyer by some.[29] The versatility that he demonstrates with his one-handed backhand is seldom matched by anyone on the circuit.[65]
During his career he has also been coached by his brother Ofer Sela, Australian-born former Israeli Davis Cup coach Ron Steele, and Israelis Noam Behr, Yoav Shab, Yoram Menahem, and Amos Mansdorf.
Jewish heritage[edit]
Sela, along with Diego Schwartzman, Jesse Levine, Camila Giorgi, Julia Glushko. and Shahar Pe'er is one of a number of young Jewish tennis players who are highly ranked.[66][67][68][69][70] "It's very special being able to play around the world", Sela said. "It is fun playing in different places because Jewish people will come out to watch me."[4][7][71]
Sela enjoys support outside of Israel from his fan brigade, known as the "Hebrew Hammer", whose chanting in both English and Hebrew aims to replicate the raucous atmosphere of tennis matches in Tel Aviv that helped him defeat the likes of González in arguably his most historic victory.[72][73] Originating at the LA Tennis Open in 2008, the Hebrew Hammer has been spotlit on telecasts by the Tennis Channel.

City officials revealed Monday part of the plans to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
Family members will be joined at the podium by those involved with the rebuilding efforts at the World Trade Center site for the reading of the names of those lost.
Relatives of victims will be paired up with architects and construction workers among others.
In a letter sent to the families, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Governor David Paterson said the ceremony should recognize the progress that has been made in building a World Trade Center memorial.
The reading of the victims' names has become the staple of the remembrance ceremonies. At first only relatives were involved, but in recent years volunteers and emergency service workers were invited to participate.
However, some family members said architects, engineers and construction workers have no place beside the victims' relatives.
The ceremony will take place at Zuccotti Park, just south of the World Trade Center site.
Officials said they are working to provide access to the upper level of the Memorial Plaza for family members.
The "Tribute In Light" will also shine at sundown into the next morning.

diversity watch

As noted here, TD Bank was a proud sponsor of the first WorldPride event held in North America. Also showing its colors in Toronto late last month: the smart auto brand, which sponsored the event's opening ceremonies in Toronto. And south of the border, on June 29, thousands of Apple employees and their families marched in the San Francisco Pride Parade, where employees were welcome by Apple CEO Tim Cook, who was lauded in today's Wall Street Journal as a "more collaborative" and compassionate leader than Steve Jobs. Check out both brands' 2014 Pride videos below.Continue reading...

The recent WorldPride event in Toronto marked the first time the event had been held in North America—and served as a testament to platinum sponsor TD Bank Group's acceptance of diversity.
The most valuable brand on Interbrand's Best Canadian Brands report, TD Bank not only sponsored WorldPride 2014, which ran from June 20 to 29 and attracted an estimated two million people across the Greater Toronto Area, but helped the host committee land the event by sponsoring their bid and accompanying them to make their case to InterPride, the event's organizer, in a first for a corporate sponsor.
It also wasn't a one-off commitment. TD is supporting 42 Pride events across North America this year, including signing a multi-year partnership with Boston Pride, all part of its bigger committment to equality and creating an inclusive workplace. "This is our tenth year of supporting Pride events," notes Scott Mullin, the bank's Vice President of Community Relations. "Ten years ago it was seen as pretty edgy for a financial institution."Continue reading...

brand mascots
Posted by Mark J. Miller on September 8, 2011 11:37 AM
Remember when the Olympics were all about international fellowship and goodwill to your fellow man? Those were the days!
Team Great Britain re-introduced its mascot for the Olympics this week, a lion named Pride, that will find its way onto hundreds of products before the Games kick off next summer.
Of course, the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games themselves already have two one-eyed mascots: Wenlock and Mandeville, modeled after two drops of steel, supposedly from the last girder of London's new Olympic Stadium.
If you don't think drops of steel are cuddly enough, Pride may be your man. The Guardian reports that the new lion in town who has a Union Jack-colored mane was inspired by the lion mascot of the 1966 World Cup, which was held in (and won by) England, the very cool World Cup Willie.
Pride made his first appearance on the scene, by the way, when British Olympians made their way to Beijing in 2008, though his mane wasn't quite so colorful then.Continue reading...

Three months ago, Target's exclusive album deal with Lady Gaga imploded after the gay-friendly artist conceded to fan criticism of the deal.
But now, Target has signed a whole new exclusive pop star deal — with Beyonce, Gaga's Telephone (and Video Phone) partner in crime.
So far, no complaints from fans, but Target is far from out of the woods, as its recent support on a gay marriage ban in its home state of Minnesota collided with its sponsorship of gay pride celebrations this past weekend.Continue reading...

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

Pinback affirms that music created just for the thrill of it, under no self-consciousness or pressure to sell records, can be just as catchy as anything on commercial radio. When guitarist/vocalist Rob Crow and bassist/vocalist Armistead Burwell Smith IV took advantage of free time from other musical projects in their San Diego stomping grounds to come up with Pinback, a brilliant beacon of light suddenly lit up in the cold, dull sea that is pop music.
Their 1999 self-titled debut unintentionally garnered much industry attention for the pair. Indie labels scrambled to sign the group to recording contracts as the music press and college radio embraced them. National Public Radio produced an on-air review of the album, and Urban Outfitters placed it in rotation in its chain of trendy shops. Two years later Pinback's follow-up, Blue Screen Life, sees the duo continue its lovably dense sound, creating an album that deserves as much attention as the last, if not more.
Pinback's songs can be at once pure and simple yet daring and intricate. One of the duo's secret weapons is its intricately constructed vocal harmonies. Crow's tenor swings smoothly between high and low octaves, weaving around Smith's nearly feminine alto. The two trade verses on the opening track, "Offline P.K.," providing the perfect complement to crisp, dual guitar and keyboard melodies that overlap each other, quickly establishing that this album will push the limits set by their previous one. And with "Prog," Pinback shucks the shell of pretension and creates a light, captivating brand of complex art rock. It didn't seem possible, but Pinback has indeed succeeded in presenting a collection of songs that overshadows its astounding debut, indicating there can only be better things to come.

After wetting the stone and applying underarm (or anywhere, really), an invisible layer of salt is formed on your skin. When you perspire, the salt prevents/minimizes the growth of bacteria that cause the smell of BO. Most "deodorants" simply mask this smell, whereas this product actually deodorizes. And you don't have to worry about the aluminum in the stone getting through your skin like the aluminum in antiperspirant. *One note, be sure that when you shower, you clean thoroughly with soap the underarm areas (or wherever you normally apply the deodorant). Some people have complained to me that this doesn't work, and I have had similar experiences ONLY when I haven't adequately cleaned my underarm areas. This product doesn't cover up odor, it prevents it from happening. If you do sweat a lot (e.g. sports, exercise, etc.), you may need to wash your underarms and reapply, however this is not a big deal, because most people shower after such activities anyway.
Wonderful thing!

I stopped using regular deodorant about a month ago. I don't think I'd ever been this uncomfortable - sometimes I couldn't stand the smell of myself. I used coconut oil - still do sometimes, and it works for a few hours, but from what I understand you have to keep using it to kill the odor causing bacteria. The stone just neutralizes it and seems to last for 24 hours for me.
works most of the time

unless you are really sweaty and hot, in which case your clothes start to smell but interestingly not you. Great thing is it doesn't bleach the underarms of t-shirts!

A word from Mustards Grill

Mustards food is Chef/Owner Cindy Pawlcyn's mix of American regional dishes with global influences. The list of "Way Too Many Wines" represents the best from appellations throughout California and the New World. Mustards is an American Grill, featuring flavors from around the globe. The wood-burning grill produces such favorites as Cindy's famous Mongolian Pork Chop, chipotle –rubbed Quail, and the ½ pound Niman Ranch hamburger. The oakwood smoker fills the restaurant with aromas of BBQ baby back ribs and tea-smoked Peking duck. Specialties include Seared Ahi Tuna on sesame crackers and Crispy Calamari tossed with curried slaw. The eclectic wine list features hard to find gems from California, the American Northwest, & South America.Continued

- FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/25/2014Ribs were not tender. The rest of food was good. I will not order ribs again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly recommended!JimmymacVIPDined on 11/24/2014One of the most popular restaurants in Napa Valley. We are regulars here and always enjoy our meals and the service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/24/2014I have hosted parties of 6 to 8 at Mustard's for 25 years. It is the most consistent high quality restaurant in the Napa valley. Unfortunately their space and occupancy limits the number of large parties but they always make room for us. Although our group rotates restaurants in Napa annually, the participants insist on always going back to Mustard's. The food is fresh and creative and the experienced waiters are personable and very knowledgeable. This weekend I hosted a local vintner and his wife at Mustard's and they ordered the curried cauliflower soup. They had run out of it but the sous chef came out and at their request wrote out the recipe and spent a few minutes going over it. We always come away from Mustard's with a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great RestaurantSLOfoodieDined on 11/22/2014The food is consistently good at Mustards. A few items, such as the Hanger Steak, are superb. We eat here every time we come to Napa.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AuntMeemVIPDined on 11/18/2014This restaurant is a favorite of my husband. Tuesday night must have been an off night. My halibut was overcooked and on the dry side (I asked for medium), my husband had the pasta special puttanesca which was very mediocre as it lacked the flavor element of the dish namely the olives, one of our friend's had the lamb special a ground lamb burger which was just OK. The only one at the table that really liked their meal had the their signature pork chop dish. We did get some really good pinot noir.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Same time next year birthday lunch!LynnDined on 11/17/2014For over 10 years one of my dearest friends and I meet between our birthdays for a Mustard's Grill lunch! We are both fall birthdays and it has always been a beautiful drive and amazing setting and this year the colors and sky couldn't have been painted more vibrantly! I love Mustard's for lunch! It's more of a lunch spot for me because I think the setting and the front half of the restaurant being all windows makes such a nice afternoon experience. The food has changed some over the years but thankfully still keeps many favorites on the menu, like the lemon/lime meringue pie. I almost always order the duck as I did again this year. This year it was served with sauteed greens and an apple/mango chutney. The duck was delicious as usual but I missed having some sort of rice (wild rice in the past), or potato. This would have balanced the plate a little more for me, with both flavor and texture. The original duck served was a tea smoked duck. I can't remember what it was served with but I do miss the original (probably over 20 years ago on my very first visit). We started with sharing the crab cakes (2) which were fresh and crispy with lightly dressed arugula on the side - perfection. My friend ordered the braised rabbit - I tried it and it was amazing - I must use the word succulent to describe it - and the flavor was rich. We shared a half bottle of a French wine (similar our Sauvignon Blanc) to try something different - I'd give it 8/10. The service was excellent and the mood in the restaurant happy and vibrant. We finished with sharing a piece of the lemon/lime meringue pie - the meringue is piled high but this is not a flavorless, airy meringue - it is made with brown sugar and has a carmelized flavor that is just delicious with the tart citrus, crispy crust and candied lemon peels. I always leave full and happy, looking forward to next year (or hopefully sooner).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/16/2014Except for the wait to be seated with an invalid person in my party, the place was great! The staff went out of their way to accommodate my party. The food was fantastic! I will be going back again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lost lusterOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/15/2014I have been going to Mustards Grill for many years, although I had not been there in over a year when I took a friend last Saturday. I always order the same dish, the Pork Chop. Although the seasoning was that same great combination I have always loved, the quality was not the same as it used to be and the portion size was MUCH smaller, they were even stingy with the red cabbage and mashed potatoes. The Pork Chop used to a lot thicker and juicier. My friend had a Burger - there was no condiments, and maybe a 1/2 cup of Fries, his plate consisted of his burger, one piece of lettuce (which was more about presentation that eating) and a small handful of French Fries - the other half of the plate was empty. This was his first visit and I do not think he will be back and I do not think I will either. This is very sad for me as I have always loved this restaurant. But the good news is that there are so many other options in the area, it will not be hard to find another "go to" place.
- Great TimeWineloverDined on 11/12/2014This was great. The menu was the most diverse of the places we ate at and the service was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this placebaahollyDined on 11/12/2014Mustards is almost always where I eat when in the Napa Valley. You never know if it's going to be busy or quiet, so I make reservations when I go. I recommend the pork chop, lemon-garlic chicken, pulled pork sandwich, crab cakes, onion rings, macaroni and cheese, and definitely the lemon lime meringue tart.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ExperienceApruDined on 11/11/2014We visited Mustards on our trip to Yountville. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation time and were seated immediately. Unfortunately, we were seated right by the front door and in the middle of a lot of foot traffic. Restaurant is fairly crowded with tables. Food choices were good. They use a blackboard to list the daily specials but the handwriting was a little of a challenge to read. I got the pasta and my hubby ordered the lemon garlic chicken. Both dishes were very good. Restaurant offered a thorough list of wines. We did not order a dessert, but they looked amazing!! Enjoyed our experience. We will go back one day!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- McFodieMcFoodieVIPDined on 11/11/2014We have eaten at many restaurants in Napa Valley. Mustard's is one that we come back to every couple of years. Last time the food was just okay and this time is was the same. Our server was wonderful, friendly and professional and we didn't feel rushed to order, which we like. I ordered the barbecued spare ribs. They were so tough that I even had a hard time cutting them apart with a sharp knife. I like them to pretty much "fall off the bone". Not these. Not even close. And they were tasteless. The bone-out ribeye steak was good but not great. We split the lemon/lime tart, which was pretty good. Mustard's has a great location and a great reputation but the last couple of times we have eaten here we were disappointed in the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An old favoriteDuckDined on 11/11/2014We have not been to Mustards in awhile. Love the pork chop and an order of onion rings. food is always good and daily specials are the best. Only negative for us has always been the noise level- beyond energetic- loud!@Special Features:
- A must try!CaliEventDirVIPDined on 11/9/2014We ate here on Sunday and loved it. Everything was great. They did not have a couple of items on the menu (we were an 8 pm) reservation so I recommend coming early. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- So LOUD!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/9/2014My cousin and I brought our elderly aunt to Mustards Grill for a special lunch. We were amazed at how loud the restaurant was -- we had to almost yell across the table to hear each other. The tables were also very close together; I was closer to a man in the party next to me than I was to my cousin seated at my table. This rather upsetting setting was a shame because the food and service was outstanding. My aunt was not happy getting a mere 5 ounces of wine for a premium price per glass. After she rather passionately brought this to the waiter's attention, he was very kind and brought the bottle over and poured her a bit more (almost saved our lunch!).Special Features:
- Truck stop never dissapointsAudgeeVIPDined on 11/8/2014There's an entree named the truck stop. The ingredients change daily. I've had the truck stop on 3 occasions and it's always perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good restaurantglfgryhwkDined on 11/8/2014Mustard's Grill was recommended to us by a number of people. We had a very good meal and the service was outstanding. There were a number of items on the menu that sounded very tasty. I had the daily lamb special which was cooked to perfection. My wife had the pork chop. Though she said it was very good, it didn't knock her socks off even though it is the 'signature dish'. The wine list is very long. The hostess was outstanding considering the restaurant was slammed and a number of walkups had to be turned away. The hostess kept a smile on her face the whole time and was never rude to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top Notch2nd2no1Dined on 11/8/2014Mustards Grill is a must for Napa Valley dining experiences. The food is over the top great maybe the best in the valley. You may have a wait is it is not the largest place - but its worth it. The pork chop is what you have to try and if they have a special try it too. Ask your server as they really know what's good and will tell you. We had the Ribeye special most likely the best we have ever had - bar noneSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not quite perfectdrrobDined on 11/1/2014We enjoyed our time at Mustards Grill; the service was outstanding and the food quite good. I would have rated it 5 stars if my entree (pork chop) had not been delayed in coming out, and when it did, it was slightly too well-done.Special Features:

My favorite is the lemon garlic chicken with garlic mashed potatoes. I have also had the port chop and it was great. My friend had the pasta of the day and it was excellent. I have tried most of the desserts and I love the lemon/lime pie and the bread pudding. We all had a lovely time.----GailSpecial Features:

Reviews for Method Acting LyricsPerformed by Bright Eyes
Add Your New Review About The Song
Philosophy | Reviewer: Jared | 2/12/11
I think you guys are missing the point here, this song has a lot to do with reincarnation "To shed this skin, be born again" That one speaks for itself. "It starts with an ending" His new life will start after this one. "But i've made peace with the falling leaves, i see their same fate in my own body" He has accepted that he will die and go back to the earth. The rest can really explain itself.
suicide. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/16/10
i think it is about suicide. it ties into the last song where he crashes drunk. Chronologically this song should be before that one. The lyrics soon i will disappear, and it starts with an ending, as in the ending of the album and his life.
Life | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/15/10
Nah, man, it's not quite about suicide; it's about realizing how short life is and that death is sooner than we'd expect, so Conor's basically saying, "Let's do as much as we can before then," with lyrics such as, "So Michael, please keep the tape rolling, boys keep strumming those guitars." The first paragraph is the early wanderings of the mind that figure out the situation of life and death, and the second paragraph is where he is telling them to live it up before dying, while the third paragraph is when he is ready to die and meet his Creator.
re | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/20/09
I don't think it's so much about the media as it is about him commiting suicide ("thankyou friends for the time we've shared...", "I've made peace with the falling leaves, I see their same faith in my own body...and return to that which gave birth to me".
But it is an awesome song and Conor is a great lyricist.
i love this | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/19/08
this is such a great song and i think really shows off conor's abilities as a lyricist (as usual) plus i think the motion sickness version of it really showsoff the talents of the band
generally i just think this is a fantasic representation of one person's view of the media
