No love for the orange bikes
Readers respond to our column about the orange bicycle viral-marketing campaign
Published: March 26, 2014
Seeing orange
There are a few limited-space bike racks where the idiotic orange bikes are taking valuable bike rack real estate ("Orlando doesn't suck, but the orange bikes do," March 19). The 7-11 on the corner of Fern Creek and Colonial, for example, or the Floyd's barber shop at Marks and Mills. Worthless orange bikes taking up space where a cyclist might need to chain up. Maybe these business owners are the ones who should be more compassionate toward real cyclists and tell the fitness center owners to get lost. I hate these bikes!
Lea, via orlandoweekly.com
They're not art, they're marketing. They're equal to plastering the company's logo to a park bench. Is this vandalism? Littering? And I find it ironic for a fitness company to destroy bikes. Wouldn't it have been more fun to place free orange bikes all over the city for people to use, like some college towns do?
Sarah Rossio, via orlandoweekly.com
You know, if they want to get on people's good sides, they need to talk to businesses to put out nice orange bike racks. They want people to know who they are? Hell, they can make the ends of the bike racks out of spray-painted orange bikes. That'd be a damn cool design, all the bikers in the area would think, "Hey, this company put up bike racks for everyone to use as advertisement! What a courteous thing for them to do!" Then they'd be known for contributing to the community, rather than for frustrating the hell out of everyone.
Trenchie, via orlandoweekly.com
Having spent most of my career in nonprofits, working with small – or nonexistent – budgets, I get guerrilla marketing. I have participated in guerrilla-style tactics from marketing to gardening to activism. But these efforts come with responsibility: You put a poster up, you make sure that poster comes down. Simple. The orange bikes have turned into eyesores, conveying laziness and lack of respect, and that is reflecting negatively on this business.

What a wild final round in Memphis! Seven shots is a lot to make up in one day, especially at the TPC at Southwind. Len was 11-under par heading to the fourth round and didn't think he had a chance to win on a course that yields so many birdies. His bogey-free 64 was impressive but without some help from above (the leaders, not THAT above) Len would not have been able to charge to the front.
You have to feel badly for Glen Hnatiuk. It is so difficult to win on the PGA Tour for the first time. Glen had three 65's to give him a four-shot cushion Sunday morning, but a 77 on the final 18 dropped him out of the top 10. Mattiace said afterwards he felt horribly for Glen and hoped he would play well. The two have been good friends for a long time and Len was rooting for Glen to earn his first victory on Tour.
On a completely different note, The FedEx St. Jude Classic is a strong event - despite missing a strong field. The schedule change next year should help this wonderful tournament. The weather, brutal this time of year in Memphis, won't be as hot. But the real reason it would be nice to see more of the big names come here is because of the way Tournament Director Phil Cannon and his staff run this tournament. It's first-class all the way, and a lot of sick children at St. Jude are the beneficiaries of some much-needed money for that special hospital.
From Phil Mickelson's win in Hartford to Len Mattiace's victory in Memphis, it's been a fun two weeks on the road.

What's New in Chapel Hill?
I'm a Chapel Thrill native but have lived in georgia for the past couple of years. I've heard about a load of new places that have opened up since I've moved - what should I not miss when I go back this summer? Looking for a place for at least one nicer dinner (but not crazy expensive, would like to get out for under 40 dollars a person). Also, any new eateries or mom n pops? I will of course be hitting my old haunts (alfredo's and k&w baybee!) but if there's a new place that is particularly tasty downtown I'ma check it out.
last time i was up, there was a bubble tea place on franklin. I'm guessing this closed since bubble tea is absolutely disgusting.
There's not much going on on Franklin Street, though there is a new bakery in the place where Julian's used to be. It's called Sugarland:
There have been mixed reviews on this board about it. I've not been over there yet.
There's also a new place going in where Jersey Mike's used to be on S. Columbia - it's a 'gourmet' burger joint called Buns. Hopefully they'll open soon - they were supposed to open last week, but no signs of such yet. It always seems to take longer than the original estimates.
There is still a bubble tea place on Franklin too!
re: romansperson
nice! I'm looking forward to checking out Buns. hopefully it will be open this summer.
re: batdown
Buns is open now. Haven't been yet, but plan to try it soon.
re: romansperson
I tried it last week. It was decent. Buns is the sort of place I really want to like: local ownership, locally made buns, fresh beef, handmade patties.
They have a nice selection of toppings and I like that they offer turkey and veggie substitutions. My burger was ok. They have to cook to medium and that always diminishes burger quality for me. It was at least as good as a burger at Suttons (my current CH lunch standby). Range of available toppings is wider than Suttons too.
Fries (handcut?) were tasty and the side portion was enormous.
re: brokegradstudent
I was just there today and very much enjoyed my burger. I agree with pretty much everything brokegradstudent said: good topping selection, sadly-medium-cooked burger, at least as good as Sutton's. I will probably be going back, since a good burger can be hard to find (at least for the $4.50 or so it cost me, without fries/drink).
My one complaint was that the patty tasted overtly black-peppery, which I'm not used to, but it wasn't precisely bad, just a bit odd.
re: eliah
Tried Buns for the first time tonight and was pleasantly surprised. The toppings were plentiful and varied (even had avacado as a choice) and the meat quality was quite good. The portion sizes seemed huge...I was stuffed with a single and cannot imagine eating a double or triple.
At this point, I'd say Buns tops Sutton's (though, the Sutton's history and ambience will make me return there, too).
re: jsb23nc
Went to Buns last night. The burgers were great -- high quality beef cooked perfectly. They had a huge selection of burger toppings and dipping sauces for the wonderful fries. Plus, with drinks (a beer and a glass of wine), dinner for the two of us was under $20. When the students get back I predict there will be a line out front. The service was great, too and they told us they'll be staying open until 3AM beginning end of summer.
re: romansperson
Sugarland is dreadful. I doubt they will be able to survive selling high-priced cookies, cupcakes, and brownies that are worse than your average supermarket mix.
re: Sinophile
I agree! I've tried Sugarland 3 times and desperately wanted to love it because I am a huge sweets person but unfortunately their desserts (except for the gelato) are just plain bad!
re: orthoFoodie1978
Ooo, I totally agree. I wanted soo to like Sugarland too. But cold cupcakes: yuck. And the frosting literally tasted like I was biting into cold butter. When I took the first bite, the entire frosting blob lifted up off the cupcake and slid into my lap--still fully intact. Boo. so disappointed. Coffee was okay though, and it's a pretty shop.
re: kimgirl
The gelato's good, if one doesn't want to drive all the way to Durham for Francesca's.
re: guenievre
The gelato is good - but this is something that I've been wondering about for a long time: have you ever had BAD gelato? I mean, there's pretty much only one way to make it. I've had gelato at sugarland, that place next to pop's in chapel hill north, and the place in southern village (blanking on names here). I've also had it in Rome. Guess what? It all tasted pretty much the same. Maybe I havent tried "good" gelato yet (or maybe i havent tried "bad" gelato), but to me it seems like gelato is good because it's gelato.
re: batdown
That, I'll grant you, although there is something to be said for flavor selection - yes, gelato is gelato, but there are interesting things one can do with it occasionally. Like the Mexican Chocolate (chocolate with cinnamon) gelato I had @ Francesca's years ago and *hope* happens to be a flavor of the day every time I go there, even now (and it never is).
re: guenievre
Yes, you can mess up gelato. I've had gelato with no flavor or flavors that tasted artificial. I've gritty gelato and icy gelato. I've had it served rock hard cold
While most gelato can be all right, there are places that can leave you in a state of drooling idiotic bliss. Try Vivoli or Grom in Florence. Try Dolcezza in DC.
It all tastes the same? Blasphemy!
re: dinersaurus
yeah, well like I said, it may be that I just havent had the breadth of gelato experience in order to be discerning. I've had gelato in NC, GA, and Italy, and it was all good. I've never had it be icy or gritty, and truth be told I've only ever had two flavors (classic pistachio and lemon), just because that's how I roll.
re: batdown
The gelato at the Italian restaurant that was in Brightleaf Square (is it still there?) was definitely a few notches below what I've had at other places, so yes it's possible but usually not the case.
re: romansperson
I didn't like Sugarland much. The cupcakes I tried were just not that tasty. It strikes me as a cutesy place. I much prefer Bull City Bakery in Durham--their spice and Red Velvet cupcakes are delicious.
re: tamalesfordinner
I guess its pretty obvious that I'm in the minority when it comes to bubble tea. but above and beyond the fact that chapel hillians are apparently enjoying this strange food/beverage hybrid choking hazard, I'm actually surprised that its still open because of the location. for years I was convinced that that space on franklin was cursed. I think I remember it being a soft pretzel place, and then about a dozen businesses were in and out in the span of a couple years.
anyone know what went into the old peppers space?
re: batdown
The old Pepper's space is now a chicken place - Cluck-U Chicken
re: tamalesfordinner
I love that place!
re: batdown
i'll chime in - egg salad and corned beef were great. Corned beef was very fatty, if you don't mind it that way. I trimmed off the fat myself and enjoyed it more.
re: batdown
I've tried their italian sub and manhattan so far and both were really good. They get bread from Guglhupf and their cold cuts from Giacomo's in Greensboro and they make their own pastrami and corned beef.
Their sides are pricey though: $3-4 for a small bowl of cole slaw or potato salad is too much.
You must go to Locopops! It is fast becoming a local phenomenon, as they opened the Durham store about 2 years ago and already have added Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Hillsborough locations! We love Locopops! http://www.ilovelocopops.com/
For a light lunch before the popsicle-trying binge, we like Sandwhich. It's pretty new, they have unique sandwiches, and they use a lot of local ingredients. Based on their website, it looks like they may also need some more customers. http://www.sandwhich.biz/
re: jkw
What Sandwhich needs is a new place to do business ... the owner of the building and the owner of the land the building's parking lot is on are having a very silly and protracted fight, which affects all the businesses there ...
re: KnewInTown
I've had some of the best meals I've ever eaten at lantern. Every time I go to Chapel Hill I eat there my first night in town.
If the coconut braised pork shank is on the menu get it.
re: amdoyne
I love the Lantern too, but they really need to change up the menu a little bit more. I eat mostly fish, and they've had the same darned fish entrees on there for 4 years now.
batdown, if you can swing it you want to try Bonne Soiree, too - it's in the Courtyard complex where Locopops, SandWhich, etc. are. It'll be above your $40 price point, but my husband and I went last night and it was just excellent. We had a bottle of wine, first and second courses (no dessert - we were stuffed by then) and total with tip was about $150. The food, service and ambience are all wonderful. Absolutely worth it. I had a goat cheese souffle as my first course, which was presented on a bed of mixed greens. To. Die. For.
As somebody who works downtown and has to eat out most every day, I give a B to Buns. The choice of Burger toppings is great, but the burgers themselves are pretty average.
The fries are better at PTS. I
love the idea of Sandwhich but I've never really enjoyed my meal from Sanwhich. To me it just seems they always go a little to far.
The guys who do the BBQ joint up in Weaver Dairy are opening a new place in the same mall as Red Lotus. Not sure of the ETA though.
I am a Sugarland fan. Their coffee is great ( pricey, though) The gelato is as good as any I've had in the US, and while I don't love all of the baked goods I've tried at Sugarland, the make a fine croissant and the chocolate cake is incredible.
I am a New Yorker by birth, and was not terribly impressed with Neals. In Carrboro, I do like Glass Half full, though they can be inconsistent, and Milltown.
re: Lauren T
i agree with lauren re: sugarland. the gelato is very, very good -- the machine used to make it was not cheap and very italian. all of the gelato i've had there has been jam-packed with flavor.
the new barbecue joint will be open sometime in the fall -- hopefully early fall. for those of us who enjoy the current location this is an exciting change. i'm not sure we've had the pleasure of seeing damon "unleashed" since the henry's bistro (memories...) days.
i finally got to neal's deli. i found what i had very good, though i will have to work through more of the menu before making a final evaluation.
wow, the 1000-pound elephant is missing from this thread so far. Namely, the chef de cuisine of Magnolia Grill in Durham for the past 5 years just opened up his own place on Franklin Street. It's called Cypress on the Hill.
Looks very promising.
re: mikeh
I swear I drove past there three times today and didn't notice it (old Trailshop building between Ham's and JimmyJohns/Vespa, right?). We may try to do apps and drinks this week.
The menu looks good but (and this is a pet peeve of mine) with all of the wonderful meat being produced in the area, why use Niman Ranch for meat, particularly after their falling out with Bill Niman over quality and animal treatment.
don't go to sugarlands - definitely not worth the time
don't go to Cypress - even more depressing than sugarlands
if you want a nice bar & good hang out - go to crunkleton, west end, maybe even Lantern.
for the nice dinner, definitely recommend Bon Soiree or Lantern - everyone else is pretty much lame on franklin street.
re: foodie922
I had a really nice dinner at Elaines a week ago. Hadn't been in a while because the menu hadn't appealled any time I'd walked by, but this time was different. I enjoyed everything, and there was a lot more on the menu that interested me. I'll be going back soon.
re: foodie922
What's wrong with Cypress? I had a very good meal there recently. The appetizers and entrees we had were very, very good. I like the clean, bright interior too.
On the other hand, the dessert we tried was disappointing and the espresso was scorched. Still, the quality of the savory part of the meal was terrific, and we plan to return.
re: dinersaurus
I thought Cypress was just ok. I'll give it another try though, because every place has an off night. Still, at those prices you need to be careful not to let that happen. It *is* a lovely space.
re: foodie922
Can't drop that kind of coin every time I want to eat dinner out. I think 411 West and Med Deli offer good food at moderate prices. Mint is a fine Indian restaurant-- and on Fridays and Saturdays they have live sitar performances! And I agree with Lulu's mom about Elaine's.

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, London
- abby d Jun 17, 2013 02:12 AM
I have to confess, this wasn't my choice of place to eat and I was tagging along as I thought I should try it, rather than because I was expecting anything wonderful. However, I was blown away.
We had the set lunch - £55 for three courses – and there was nothing about any of the dishes that I or my dining companions could fault. Couple this with charming service and we are already contemplating a return trip with the one friend who was unexpectedly unable to join us.
very good gruyere gougeres to start while we chose our food followed by a pea mouse and smoked ricotta amuse bouche – this was such a pretty dish, served in a little glass bowl with the incredibly light mousse layered over the ricotta and topped with teeny baby vegetables.
To start, two of us had the lobster, asparagus and herb tortellini with broad beans, tomato and lobster consommé which had a wonderful depth of flavour. Generous portions – three very plump tortellini. However, the other starter at our table was actually the portion-size -winner – delicate tartlet of confit salmon, shaved fennel, radishes, grilled piquillo pepper, quail's egg, rocket and basil. Apparently this is clare smyth's take on a salad nicoise/pan bagnat from when she was in Monaco and used to eat these on the beach. Here the tart is a filo case that holds everything else together.
My main was the miso glazed cod with black quinoa, squid, grilled Shiitake mushrooms and lapsang souchong broth – every mouthful made me pause and reflect on how much I enjoyed the flavours. However, I do remain uncharmed by quinoa! Again, generous portions. The other dishes were mutton, which had a lovely lightness and both smoked aubergine (and the prettiest baby aubergine "crisps" as a garnish) and a hint of curry spice to add a touch of the exotic; plus a lovely rabbit dish with pickled mustard and hazelnuts.
Finally, roasted pineapple with coriander financiers, coconut sorbet and vanilla cream. The richness of the pineapple was wonderful and I loved the use of coriander shoots as part of the garnish, as well as the flavour from coriander seeds in the financier. The other pudding was a banana, peanut butter and chocolate concoction which I didn't try.
Petit fours included a dish of strawberry ice cream bon bons, dipped in white chocolate and served atop dry ice, which we were very lucky to be bought a second portion!
Lovely, and very affordable Bergerac sec to drink, with charming advice and conversation from head sommelier Jan Konetzki.
Comparing this with le Gavroche, which has a similarly priced lunch menu, except they throw in ½ a bottle of wine and coffee (I visited with the same group of friends c18 months ago and posted a review at the time, if anyone wants to look back), I think there is no question that you should spend your money on Clare Smyth's cooking - the complexity and deliciousness of the dishes totally reflect the quality of the 3* kitchen and it was a real treat.
Abby - a really interesting review. I have seen a number of very good reviews of RHR recently saying Clare is really cooking superb 3 star food. Ramsay is oft maligned but there is no doubt he can spot and nurture talent, it's good to see one of his places is still delivering (I was in Tokyo last week and saw that Cerise his outpost there has now closed).
re: abby d
All the dishes look exceedingly elegant... beautiful photography, too.
re: zuriga1
Indeed. As they say, a picture paints a thousand words. Those made me want to try out Gordon Ramsay's more than any voluminous written essays on the food there.
re: klyeoh
It's on my list! We're just back from North Wales, and thanks to Harters we ate very well. I had one of the best steaks I've eaten since coming to the UK. I forgot to take photos!
re: zuriga1
Ah, but you should update this board with your dining experience in Wales, June.
re: klyeoh
You're right... and I will get around to it, Peter. I have Harters to thank for all the great suggestions.
re: zuriga1
Too kind, June.
The board is all about sharing information which is all that I do.
re: PhilD
It's really Clare Smyth at the Royal Hospital Road though now isn't it.
We had an flawlessly executed meal there but it did lack pizzaz and imagination compared to many other places. A very good option though.
On the side point about food photography I love great blogger photo reports but I always try and avoid them for somewhere I'm going soon after as I always think it ruins the surprise a little to see exactly what's going to be put in front of you.
re: ManInTransit
MT - it is Clare but who hired and developed her? Whilst I think GR gets much deserved critisism he at least should be recognised for his ability to spot and nurture talent. Think how many chefs served their apprenticships with him (or his organisation), and I mean served, they didn't just stage. I say credit whhere credit is due.
re: ManInTransit
it's definitely all about Clare Smyth - she was there, the dishes were explained in the context of her inspiration etc. but in agree that GR deserves credit for his role in developing her and many others
i have mixed views about photos - i too like a suprise but often i find them helpful when choosing between places when i have limited time (i did this when researching San Sebastian places, before ending up with Akelarre)

Someone coughs near me on my crowded commute. Me: holding my breath in a vain attempt to "avoid their germs" as I turn purple around the edges. Futile attempt, really.
But short of walking around in a surgical mask like my folks do in Asia, what can I do?
If only there were some kind of germ-mask that didn't look like a germ-mask…
Well look-ee here, a Gowanus inventor team has developed something called a Scough.
A scough is a scarf with a germ-barrier mask tucked in a hidden pocket in the scarf. It even has elastic ear-bands to help hold your germ-barrier in place. The removable mask has carbon and silver filters that according to the Brooklyn inventors, absorb germs and pollution and even kill viruses.
Scoughes are made of cotton, some with a cashmere or wool blend. All scoughes come with one filter and cost between $39 and $59. Replacement filters can be purchased for $10 each or $20 for a 3-pack. Read more at DNAinfo, Brooklyn News12.
So why this odd post about scoughs? Well, while struggling for an April Fools post, I found this story that reeked of a prank. Upon investigation, I was amused to find it was indeed a real product. Now that's an April Fool's joke for ya!
by Mai Armstrong for Working Harbor Committee
On my way back from hosting WHC's Walking Tour of the Staten Island Waterfront this past Saturday, I encountered a trio of tourists from Ohio. Obviously bewildered by the chaos caused by subway closures and redirects, I offered my assistance. As most locals know, the subway system on the weekends is quite a challenge to navigate and this weekend was no exception.
The 3 young men were in town just for the weekend to celebrate their buddies nuptials. Having just toured the Statue of Liberty, they were headed for Coney Island to see the iconic boardwalk and to ride the world-famous Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel. Unbeknownst to them, an hour-long journey on the subway lay ahead of them, likely longer due to track work.
Now, if there were a Coney Island Ferry, the trip would take less than 30 minutes and offer an amazing view of our vibrant waterfront along the way.
Last week, I had the opportunity to ride on a Coney Island Ferry trial with the Friends of Coney Island Creek Ferry and Landing. The round-trip left from Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan and took us to Steeplechase Pier in Coney Island Creek.
The purpose of the trip was to advocate for and install a recreational ferry route and improve ferry landings from The Battery to a proposed Ferry Landing on Coney Island Creek.
The Brooklyn Paper: A second group of People's Playground boat lovers say that a pier tucked away in Coney Island Creek is the perfect place to dock a ferry from Manhattan, and even ran a successful test run to it from Battery Park on June 17. But a recently announced mayoral plan for the fetid waterway could leave their beloved vessel literally out to sea.
[The American Princess,] a boat with 150 passengers set sail from Manhattan and landed at what ferry backers are calling the perfect dock at W. 21st Street and Neptune Avenue in Coney Island on June 17 — a maiden voyage that they hope thousands of tourists may soon make every day.
But there is one major obstacle — Mayor Bloomberg's recently announced anti-flooding plan would build a dam across the mouth of the creek and convert the waterway into a marsh, making it impossible for boats to get inside.
The cruise was the brainchild of Friends of Coney Island Creek Ferry and Landing, a month-old organization trying to convince the city to convert a derelict jetty and adjoining lot on the inlet's bank into a gateway to the People's Playground. It argues that creating a water route from the city to Coney would not just cut travel time in half — 29 minutes compared to at least an hour by train — but would revitalize local businesses and the long-neglected Coney Island Creek itself.
"A recreational ferry can provide much-needed community economic development on Coney Island," said founder Stuart Pertz, an urban designer and professor at Pratt Institute.
A city study on the possibility of launching a ferry service to Coney considered the fishing pier in Kaiser Park as a possible docking location. The city rejected both the dock and the creek, saying they were too far from the amusement district.
But Pertz and Friends argue that the dock at the end of W. 21st Street got overlooked — and would be just a 10-minute walk from MCU Park, the Parachute Jump, and Borough President Markowitz's planned amphitheater in the former Childs restaurant. Read more here…

Top left and right: bead-covered purses of the second quarter of the 17th century. That on the left is leather covered with glass beads threaded on brown silk, the acorns in opaque yellow and green on a ground of clear reddish purple. The inscription reads: HEARE ET IS HIT OR MISS. That on the right, in similar colouring, is dated 1634 with the inscription: I PRAY GOD TO B MY GVIDE." end quote from English Domestic Needlework: 1660-1860_ by Therle Hughes, Abbey Fine Arts, London.

Manchester developers White Paper Games have released a trailer for their upcoming independent game Ether One: The Restorer, a first-person adventure game that explores human memories and emotional themes in a strange science fiction world, to be released for PC and Mac digital distribution later in 2013.
Featuring explorative game play and narrative driven puzzles, Ether intends to tell a mature story about an individual with a lost identity who is sent into the minds of mentally ill humans to restructure their broken memories. Tasked with restoring the mind of a client named Jean, the player must explore her memories in order to rebuild them piece by piece. Purported to contain a hand-painted world where sci-fi meets the English coastline, this sounds like the kind of cerebral adventure that has been all but wiped out of existence by tag tournaments and military combat.
The developers are, of course, trying to get Ether on Steam, and you can support them through their Steam Green Light page.
We'd be lying if we didn't say that we were rooting for our Manchester neighbours, White Paper Games, and hoping that the finished product lived up to the promise of what we've seen in the trailer so far. Ether One: The Restorer will be the first episode of the two-part game and is due for release in the second quarter of 2013. Follow them on Twitter at @ether_one or check out their website for more information on the release - www.ether-game.com

The Special Effects of Karel Zeman
One cannot, I think, overstate the wonder and craft of Karel Zeman's filmmaking. But while embraced in his fabulous world, one might briefly step out of suspension of disbelief to beg the question of "My God, how
he do it?"
Well, here's a two-part documentary answering that question...

Ok,first off this loss will leave a bad taste in my mouth until the upcoming season..Pure disaster!! Please tell me Mr. Turner why you let the control of your players just slip away, this was your speech all the way to the playoffs..Control, Patience, and most importantly stay humble. None of these were even of existence throughout this game, and surely this was a complete utter mess with the "True Blue" fans.. I just can't get over this call, here we are over 2 minutes left, let me mention to exact 2:24 and we have a timeout remaining…What would you do? Of course you would, kick off to the Jets instead of attempting the lowest of lows of percentages an onside kick..Lets face it 9/10 you will not be successful at it so why do it..Turner, you kick off pin to around the 20 to 25 yard, take your defense out there like you have all game long, and you go 3 and out..We then receive with about 50 secs or so, which mostly likely starts us at or around our 40..Then along comes our illustrious leader Mr. Rivers and he takes us down for the tie..Then all of sudden we are tied and headed toward overtime..Was that really that hard? It's football 101..I know I'm not the expert, however I have watched and played football throughout my years, and it was just clear as day that this play should have been called..I love my Chargers and will always stand behind them, I'm just ready to get over the hump, so we can play for a Superbowl.. It's been to long, 15 years in counting..Thank you, Go Bolts!!!

Great work this year by Norv Turner. It has been interesting watching him work his craft. I hope the negative fans can remember Marty losing his cool and walking out on the field in a playoff game and getting penalized. As good as Marty was, he lost his cool at times. Norv is very calm under pressure, like a high stakes poker player in a Vegas tournament. He just keeps thinking. To go from the Pittsburgh game to AFC West champs is no small miracle. Look at the substitutions that had to be dealt with.

First off, disappointing playoff game however you take the good with the bad….superb season run. Outstanding job overcoming adversity with all the injuries and hats off to all the young players who stepped up. Having Jamal back next season will help out tremendously with the hole in the middle. Hopefully Merriman will return to his old dominant self having the off season to rest fully. The defense as a whole looks good. Offensively our run game is where we need addressing. Its not that LT is on lhis last leg, look back at what made our running game so dominant….."A legitimate fullback please". Hester and Tolbert did a good job with what they could but they are not the type fullback we need or LT needs to finish off blocks like Lorenzo Neal was. LT is still productive and our running game can be what it once was given we get a pure fullback….LT is a threat no matter how many times he touches the ball, but to get him going and for people to respect our running game, lets get him some help….
Respectfully Mr A. J. Smith……lets get LT some help

Something has to be done about Antonio Cromartie. I don't know if that would be to trade him and get something or whether he should be sent to tackling school in the offseason. He can deflect passes, but he does not tackle. He seems to have no sense about how to do it and how to get the angle on a player with the ball. He seems to have no sense about when to cover and when to leave the player uncovered and do something else. In the last game and many others this area of vulnerability was revealed. He has great physical skills but his football sense and judgement seem to be off. And I do not see Cason as any better, or Dante Hughes. They made a lot of mistakes too.

GM of the year in my book is that gruff, impersonal, brief, terse, blunt, to the point, AJ Smith. All those guys down after the first game. All those injuries. And look at the depth and the guys he picked up that were laying around. Scott, Runyan, Dumbrowski, Mooch, Siler, Dobbins, ya gotta admit: we have some really solid guys waiting in the wings for their chance. It's all in the AJ plan, man.
There will be some really tough choices in the offseason but one thing about AJ. He will make them.
And, while everyone is human, for the most part, his tough decisions, when he has to cut an arm off, it is usually for football reasons, not personal vendettas motivated by ego. This year you really have to give AJ credit.

Maybe A.J. should have picked up a Coach, Kicker, Safety and a running back instead.
By Randy Hudson on Jan 23, 2010 | Reply
Norv has done the job expected of him, but just seems that he has been ordered from upstairs to call plays pertaining to featured players only, the way I saw it. It was a backup WR who caught the first TD of the Jet game, and I am banking that Ryan's defense didn't seeit coming, also why not wear down defenses with 220lb plus fullbacks
instead watching an LT or Sproles go up against healthy Jet or Raven frontline, and coming up short. Why not save your talent for the second and fourth quarters when defenses are tired. Just common sense. This team needs a power scheme.

Jets v Colts–
Today the best team won, unlike last weekend where the team with the least mistakes and flukie bad breaks lost ( the Revis intercept off the calf of Jackson, untimely block in the back penalty by Floyd, uncharacteristic interception deep in our own territory by Rivers–probaly brought on by sheer anger and frustration at the Jackson interception, and the missed field goals) . . .
The Chargers defense played a much better game than the Colts against the Jets–GO DEFENSE!
The Chargers don't play the Colts (whose number everyone knows they've got) all season–HMMMM?
The Chargers get beat by an inferior Jets team on the back of missed field goals (Kaeding has made the difference in our win loss record since he put on his boots for the Chargers) and uncharacteristic general play–HMMMMM?
Manning is the MVP (again going into the playoffs)–HMMMM?
The Chargers have the MVPs number and the league knows it–HMMMM?
The MVP was eliminated by the 8-8 Chargers in the 1st round last year (the MVP doesn't go to the Super Bowl)–HMMM?
The Colts play the game the Chargers should have played last week today to get the MVP to the super Bowl–really kind of makes you want to go –HMMMMM!

DISAPPOINTED! Chargers went to the Playoffs with an 11 game winning streak, and seemed unstoppable but failed yet again in the most important game. To me it seemed like the offense was not in the game, the focus was not there, no spark whatsoever…it seemed like they didn't want to win. The defense in the other hand was outstanding in the first half but in the second half they started to slow down because they were constantly on the field! And, what was up with Kaeding?! 3 missed field goals! In a good note though, superb regular season…I just wonder when our charger team is going to wake up in the playoffs?

I would like to comment on the 2009-2010 season.First the reg.season was great we overcame so much.I was very happy to see the chargers play team football.They spread the ball around on offense and stepped up on defense .The early injuries to Jamal and Nick hurt but guys stepped up and played huge.Our head coach, a great offensive mind.Our defensive guru Ron, who i belive is the right man for the job on that side of the ball deserves a ton of credit.Now that i have acknowledged the regular season i will now get to the point. We as a team the San Diego Chargers have been knocking on the door since 2004.We have let players go ,have fired and hired coach's.Aj has for the most part addressed our needs in the draft.We always seem to be playing our best football going into the playoffs.So the question that needs to be answered is why cant we get over the hump.I feel it is because we do not have the right man leading our team on to the field .Football is a game of emotions! highs and lows the ability to overcome adversity.A team sport, everyone doing their jobs and working together to achieve one common goal a CHAMPIONSHIP. We need a leader in the head coaching position! A MAN who demands excellence and nothing less,Our players need to be more focused and motivated and most of all prepared to win it all.With the coaches that were out there why resign Norv as our head coach? A offensive cord. yes but not our head coach.Bill Cowher , Jon Gruden , were available at the time of the re -sign but yet we keep the problem for at least three more years.We have the same core group of players returning next year withe exception of a few huge names.So Norv I am calling you out!

Following on from last season's success, Lucozade Sport is once again giving amateur footballers the chance to win a Barclays Premier League club-style sponsorship package for the 2009/10 season.
Teams will compete in the Lucozade Sport Performance League (LSPL) - a virtual, online championship involving amateur football teams from around the UK.
Last season's LSPL lived up to all the hype with each side taking part receiving free kit and a season's supply of Lucozade Sport. Not only that, they were trained by top-flight club coaches including United first team fitness coach, Tony Strudwick.
The finals of the LSPL Cup were held at United's Carrington training ground, while the 2008/09 end-of-season finale between Drumchapel United and Oakwood FC was played on the hallowed turf at Old Trafford. As the eventual winners, Drumchapel went on to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime trip pre-season training camp in Austria.
You can watch a video of the 2008/09 finale on the LSPL website.
The plans for next season are even bigger. The winners will be given a real taste of what life is like at the very top. There will once again be more opportunities to play at Barclays Premier League club stadiums, win VIP United tickets and train with top club coaches.
For your chance to enjoy the professional treatment from Lucozade Sport, visit www.lucozade.com/lspl and register your team. The official draw takes place live on national radio station Talksport later this summer.

David Horowitz was one of the founders of the New Left in the 1960s and an editor of its largest magazine, Ramparts. He is the author, with Peter Collier, of three best selling dynastic biographies: The Rockefellers: An American Dynasty (1976); The Kennedys: An American Dream (1984); and The Fords: An American Epic (1987). Looking back in anger at their days in the New Left, he and Collier wrote Destructive Generation (1989), a chronicle of their second thoughts about the 60s that has been compared to Whittaker Chambers' Witness and other classic works documenting a break from totalitarianism. Horowitz examined this subject more closely in Radical Son (1996), a memoir tracing his odyssey from "red-diaper baby" to conservative activist that George Gilder described as "the first great autobiography of his generation." He is author of the newly published book The Great Betrayal (Regnery 2014), which is a chronicle of the Democrats treachery in the war on terror before 9/11 to the death of Osama bin Laden.

Wynn Bullock
High Museum of Art with Brett Abbott
With contributions by Barbara Bullock-Wilson and Maria L. Kelly
With a collection of images that spans Wynn Bullock's entire oeuvre–some published here for the first time–this volume offers the most comprehensive assessment in nearly forty years of the extraordinary career of one of the leading photographers of the mid-twentieth century.
Wynn Bullock was one of the most significant photographers of the mid-twentieth century. A close friend of influential West Coast artists Ansel Adams and Edward Weston and a contemporary of Minor White and Frederick Sommer, Bullock created work marked by a distinct interest in experimentation, abstraction, and philosophical exploration. Bullock's photography received early recognition in 1941, when the Los Angeles County Museum of Art staged his first solo exhibition. His mature work appeared in one-man shows at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris; the Royal Photographic Society, London; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Art Institute of Chicago, among other prestigious venues. Bullock's pictures Let There Be Light and Child in Forest have become icons in the history of photography, following their prominent inclusion in Edward Steichen's landmark 1955 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, The Family of Man.
Wynn Bullock: Revelations offers the most comprehensive assessment of the photographer's extraordinary career in nearly forty years. Produced by the High Museum of Art in partnership with the Center for Creative Photography to accompany a traveling exhibition, this retrospective traces Bullock's evolution from his early experimental work of the 1940s, through the mysterious black-and-white imagery of the 1950s and the color light abstractions of the 1960s, to his late metaphysical photographs of the 1970s. The book presents 110 images, including some from the Bullock estate that have never been published before. An essay by the High's Curator of Photography Brett Abbott explores the nuances of Bullock's approach to photography and its fascinating relationship to the history of science and philosophy. The volume also includes an illustrated chronology, a bibliography, selected collections, an exhibitions history, a plates list, and notes.
Despite early acclaim, the true breadth and depth of Bullock's career have remained largely in the shadows. Wynn Bullock: Revelations shines new light on this major photographer.

A specialist in twentieth-century American photography, Abbott is Keough Family Curator of Photography and Head of Collections at the High Museum of Art. He previously worked at the J. Paul Getty Museum, where his exhibitions and companion publications Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography since the Sixties and Edward Weston: Enduring Vision both received the Lucie Award for Curator/Exhibition of the Year.
Wynn Bullock: Revelations exhibit
Summer 2014
The High will become the first major art museum in nearly 40 years to mount a retrospective of work by photographer Wynn Bullock (1902-1975). Read more about the exhibit here.
"…as evinced by this volume and its companion exhibition at Atlanta's High Museum, he was a master of both abstraction and realism, a purveyor of forms in the natural world and the human realm whose beautifully composed images beckon a larger audience… Here his Kodachrome originals have been wondrously revived digitally, nearly 40 years after his death."
―American Photo
"This is a profoundly beautiful collection of work. Though nothing compares to seeing the print in front of you, this book is the next best thing and allows you to have this unprecedented collection in your home."
"As a book object, this retrospective is dense with photographs, the writing clear, informative and footnoted and accompanied by an illustrated chronology. The interior photographs are beautifully printed as originally conceived without the mild cropping of the early books illustrating his work, with the photographic plates having generous white margins, captions; including dates of the work accompany each photograph. Recommended."
―The Photo Book
"Time spent with the images and Brett Abbott's essay brings insight and understanding. Anyone interested in the history of American photography must add this book to their library....The book is a beautifully produced volume, representing the breadth of Bullock's fascination with light and showcasing his remarkable ability to teach himself fine photographic techniques."
―American Society of Picture Professionals

Roddick Hires Stefanki As New Coach
by ATP Staff|
Andy Roddick has appointed Californian Larry Stefanki as his coach for 2009. Roddick, who finished this season at No. 8 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings, will begin working with Stefanki December 1 in Austin, Texas, Roddick's home base. They plan to hit for a week and then practice again in the lead-up to Christmas before opening the season in Doha.
Roddick parted ways with Jimmy Connors early into the 2008 season and finished the year without a coach after his brother John had filled that role for a large part of the 2008 season. Roddick also was assisted later in the year by US Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe.
Stefanki, 51, recently ended his three-year partnership with Chilean Fernando Gonzalez. Stefanki, who reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 35 in 1985, has previously coached Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Marcelo Rios, Tim Henman and John McEnroe.
"I am extremely excited to be working with the No. 1 American five of the past six years," Stefanki told atpworldtour.com. "It's a great opportunity for me. Andy's number one goal is to capitalize on winning another Grand Slam or two.
"It's going to be an exciting challenge and I'm looking forward to it. At 26 years old, he's ready to make a major move. The time is right and he knows it and that's what makes it exciting. He's excited to start the season and I think he could do it and that's the fun part."

Few experiences combine modern charm with compelling history as much as a tour of Japan. A trip through the famous island nation brings you from the cutting edge technology of Tokyo to the rural enclaves of the Japanese interior. Whatever your itinerary includes, your time in the Land of the Rising Sun is sure to be a fulfilling experience. However, there are a few destinations in particular that have become staples of Japan tours, and you'd be remiss if you left without paying them a visit.
Sensoji Temple
It can certainly be tempting to experience some of the more high-tech aspects of Tokyo, but you should make a point to head to the Sensoji Temple as well. The oldest temple in the country was built in 645 A.D., and the fact that it stands in relatively good condition today is a testament to those who built it. Although the building itself is certainly impressive, the area surrounding it is full of activity, including the Sanja Matsuri festival, which is held each year in May.
Joshin'etsu-kogen National Park
Japan is home to some truly stunning landscapes, and that is especially true at Joshin'etsu-kogen National Park. This natural reserve is so big it's located in part of several different cities including Nagano and Niigata. In addition to the breathtaking views, the park is famous for being home to Japanese Macaques. These friendly monkeys tend to congregate in the park's hot springs, and watching them interact with one another can be the most memorable aspect of your tour of Japan.
Kyoto Botanical Garden
The former capital of Imperial Japan, Kyoto is replete with historic buildings, and while the city is home to plenty of intriguing destinations, it's not a centuries-old structure that tops the list of must-see destinations in Kyoto. You should make a point to visit the Kyoto Botanical Garden, which offers a glimpse of some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. The garden was founded in 1924, and over the last 85-plus years it has grown by leaps and bounds. Today, it is home to an estimated 120,000 plants encompassing 12,000 different species, all arranged in a manner that will make it hard for you to leave.
(Makati (Manila))
As your small motorboat slides onto the sandy bank of a deserted beach and your attentive guides set up a gourmet seaside picnic, all that's left to do is allow the turquoise waters of this remote paradise wash away your stresses.
(Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan, Inle Lake)
Watch the sun set over Myanmar as you sip cocktails perched high on Pyathagyi pagoda and reflect on the rich cultural heritage of this mysterious region.
(Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket)
This customizable tour puts the must-sees of Thailand at your fingertips. From Cosmopolitan Bangkok and jungle elephant safaris to cooking classes, long-tailed boat rides and stunning beaches you'll be immersed in new experiences that reveal the magnificent culture and people of this land. Includes private guide, driver and internal flights as well as premium properties chosen for refreshing variety – a centrally located city hotel, an historic villa & premium beach resort.
