Making Moves: Callaway, Adams, TaylorMade, Cleveland/Srixon, Cobra/Puma add more signees
Equipment signing period is in full throttle with handfuls of PGA Tour standouts making a move to different sponsors for the 2014 season. Some of the more high-profile signings were announced earlier this week as Ernie Els (Adams), Henrik Stenson (Callaway), Harris English (Callaway), Matteo Manassero (Callaway), Graham Delaet (Puma Apparel) and Vijay Singh (Hopkins Golf) all signed new deals
Callaway has been the biggest player during the signing period, attaining a variety of players with varying levels of tour experience. They have combined young, up-and-coming talent with those that have already established their place on tour.
Those joining the Callaway team include Matt Every, Pat Perez, John Rollins, Kiradech Aphibarnrat (pictured above), Jonathan Byrd (pictured below), Richard Lee, along with PGA Tour rookies Thomas Pieters, James Erkenbeck and Chase Seiffert.
TaylorMade signed on Carl Petterson (from Nike this fall), as well as Trevor Immelman (Callaway) and Scott Langley (PING), who will join in on the marketing takeover we've seen from TaylorMade in recent years.
Adams Golf, after recently acquiring Ernie Els to the staff, also announced the additions of Josh Teater (pictured below) and Nicholas Thompson, who are sure to be competitive on tour for years to come.
Cleveland/Srixon added long ball hitter J.B. Holmes, William McGirt, and K.J. Choi (to a bag/glove/golf ball deal). The sponsors lost Vijay Singh to a new face on tour, Hopkins Golf, and will look to renovate their image with some new names.
Cobra/Puma joined the group of companies adding new players in 2014 by signing Will MacKenzie, also known as "Willy Mac." MacKenzie will wear apparel from the Sports Lux line from Puma Golf, available in stores on Feb. 1.
"Willy Mac is a great fit for COBRA PUMA GOLF," said Bob Philion, president of Cobra/Puma Golf. "He is a proven Tour winner and has a style and swagger that sets him apart. We are thrilled to be adding him to our Tour team."

I always love the way these players change equipment and then make a commercial about how great their new equipment is.
Callaway with a huge amount of signing, TM with a bunch, Cleveland and Adams with a couple. Nike, Titleist and Ping with no mentions so far.
Interesting times.
It is surprising to see Byrd move away from Mizuno. Seems like Titleist has lost some players and has not gained any. They still have a bunch of talent such as Adam Zack and Jordan Speith.
Whoa! Jonathan Byrd and Callay Golf? Never in a millions years thought he'd break away from Mizuno….
Kiradech is a pretty nice score for callaway! I love that guy.
Who is Pat Perez?
He is the guy who is currently three shots back!

Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of Civilization. By Nicholson Baker. Simon & Schuster, 2008. 566 pages.
The neoconservatives are already in hot pursuit of Human Smoke. In the March 2008 issue of Commentary, David Pryce-Jones called it a "mendacious book." From this review, one might have thought that Nicholson Baker had written a defense of the Third Reich and its Führer. Quite the contrary: no one who reads the book can suspect Baker of the slightest sympathy for Hitler, whose evil deeds receive copious coverage in the book.
Where, then, lies Baker's offense? Rather than write a standard historical narrative, he presents on each page a separate fact, often taken from contemporary newspaper accounts. A number of these facts show Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt in less than a favorable light, and this has proved too much not only for Pryce-Jones but for John Lukacs as well. For Lukacs and his ilk, Churchill is the Schwannritter of the 20th century, and inconvenient truths must not be permitted to jar unwary readers from the veneration properly his due.
However reasonable one may think the Allied cause in World War II, even a just war must be fought in accord with the demands of morality. Direct attacks on noncombatants are strictly forbidden.
The policies pursued by Churchill could not be further from this clear demand of jus in bello. As First Lord of the Admiralty in World War I, he supervised the British hunger blockade of Germany. By endeavoring to starve the German population, Churchill hoped to undermine the German war machine from within.

In Santa Clara County nearly 17,000 IHSS providers assist frail elderly and disabled clients to allow them to remain safely in their own homes and avoid the need for out of home care. Currently, Santa Clara County pays IHSS providers an hourly rate of $12.20 for IHSS services performed. To qualify for benefits a provider must be paid by Santa Clara IHSS for at least 35 hours per month for the two most recent months and submit a completed benefits enrollment form to the Council on Aging Public Authority Services. IHSS providers in Santa Clara County are also union members represented by SEIU Local 521 and monthly membership dues are collected.
The IHSS program allows low income elderly, blind or disabled people to hire someone to help them with housework, meal preparation, and personal care. With help, people who receive IHSS can remain safely in their own home and do not need to move into a care facility or institution. The IHSS program is supported by federal, state, and county funds. These funds are used to pay homecare providers to provide specific services. These services are authorized by the county for someone who they determine is eligible to receive IHSS. The consumer (also called recipient or client) chooses the care provider, supervises the provider's work, defines how tasks will be done, and can fire the provider if the consumer wishes. The IHSS consumer signs the care provider's timesheet twice a month and a corresponding paycheck is issued by the State. IHSS pays providers to provide personal care, such as feeding and bathing; household tasks such as laundry, shopping, meal preparation and light housecleaning; transportation; protective supervision; and certain paramedical services ordered by a physician. However, the IHSS program cannot pay for all the things that are necessary for someone to live independently in his/her own home.
IHSS does not pay for the following services:
The provider should only perform those tasks that a social worker has assigned for a particular consumer. The provider does not have to do anything else for this consumer other than the assigned tasks. Moreover, the provider should not work more than the maximum number of hours the social worker has authorized for the consumer. If the provider does this, they will not be paid for the extra hours unless the county determines that the extra time was necessary due to extenuating circumstances. Finally, consumers with more than 173 authorized hours per month should employ two or more providers so that no single provider works more than 40 hours per week. Individual providers may choose to work more than 40 hours per week if they work for multiple consumers. However, all hours will be paid at the regular hourly rate. No consumer can receive more than 283 hours per month of authorized services. The IHSS program does not provide 24-hour assistance.

SEYMOUR, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A former bus driver faces multiple charges, including Driving Under the Influence, after the students and adults on the bus at the time said he ran several and crossed the center line several times before finally stopping at a Dandridge convenience store Thursday evening. Jerry Carr, Jr. is also accused of kicking a hospital security guard in the groin after he was taken to the hospital for a legal blood draw.
An attorney for the Sevier Co. School Board, Chris McCarty, Carr was fired that night and the board intended to send the letter confirming his termination on Friday. He also commended Coach Daniel Rucker for his swift action in getting Carr to stop the bus, which was transporting Seymour High School's freshmen basketball team.
According to police reports, an officer responded to the Weigel's around 6:30 p.m. to meet the bus and found Carr in the driver's seat with the motor running. The officer described Carr as appearing "heavily intoxicated" with bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and a strong smell of alcohol. He stated that Carr told him he "had been drinking beer."
Carr performed poorly during field sobriety tests, according to the officer, who added the bus driver was very unsteady and almost fell down as he got off the bus.
When the officer told Carr he was being arrested for suspicion for driving under the influence and attempted to place his hands behind his back, the officer reported that Carr pulled them away and took an "aggressive position with a clutched fist." The arresting officer, who by this time was joined by another officer, managed to wrestle Carr to the ground, where he continued to resist by putting his hands underneath him, according to police reports.
When they arrived at Jefferson Memorial Hospital, Carr allegedly kicked the security guard before stumbling and falling. After refusing to submit to the test Carr was taken to Jefferson Co. Justice Center.
Carr has been charged with Driving Under the Influence, Violation, Resisting Arrest, and Reckless Endangerment.

Good news, guys. There are more signs! Look, we already brought you hacked stop signs, the "God Hates" signs phenomenon, and unintentionally hilarious political signs. I thought we had exhausted all the sign possibilities and then I remembered ...O...M...G...intentionally hilarious political signs.
Don't get me wrong here. God knows watching the internet catalog the stupidity of stupid people is incredibly entertaining, but watching the internet catalog the wit of witty people is even more entertaining still: especially when those witty people have those stupid people as targets.
Yup, these past few years have been particularly turbulent politically and the internet has been there every step of the way to mock the uninformed, the un-self-aware, and the just plain unintelligent (also, Christian Bale). Check it out after the break.

By April R
my favorite was the one of a guy wearing a rebel flag t shirt and his sign said "Does This Shirt Make My Ass Look Dumb?"
But the Mormon signs, while I understand the anger people had against the church and its involvement in prop eight, were not true and things are funnier when they poke fun at the truth. No one who belongs to the Church of Jesus Chirst of Latter-day Saints has more than one spouse and calling my garments which i wear "magic panties" is beyond offensive. It's ignorant, not humorous.
By Stinko The Fish
God told ME to look thru the bottom of coke bottles and read the back of a Thurmond Muson Rookie card for the Last Book of the bible. So, I did and YOU can't see it because I HAVE the ONLY magic spectacles. The Coke bottle lens are called the "Uma" and the "Thurman".
I will now reveal to YOU what God revealed on the Holy Rookie card:
HE said:
" Tell Joseph Smith it was a joke...A JOKE! He really thought I was serious?!! Crystal Glasses? Funny Underwear? I am the Biggest Prankster in the History of Time!!! You might as well pray to Superman Comics.... BWAH AHAHAHAHAH!
PS. Your "Organized" Religions Offend ME!"

way to be a complete asshole.

"But the Mormon signs, while I understand the anger people had against the church and its involvement in prop eight, were not true and things are funnier when they poke fun at the truth. No one who belongs to the Church of Jesus Chirst of Latter-day Saints has more than one spouse and calling my garments which i wear "magic panties" is beyond offensive. It's ignorant, not humorous."
So actively pursuing legislature that restricts the rights of American citizens is not a big deal, but making fun of your religion is? To be fair there were gays long before there were Mormons, shouldn't they have some seniority in who gets to be offended?
You say making fun of the truth is better, so fine, let's make fun of the fact that not long ago the widespread belief in the Mormon church was that being black was a result of the "Curse of Cain". It wasn't until 1978 that the ban on blacks in the priesthood was lifted.
I wouldn't expect you to know about this since the the tactic of the church is to treat any new 'revelation' as though it had always been that way. Thus neatly erasing the blatant racism from their personal history books.
Perhaps polygamy (at least in the mainstream Mormon faith) is gone. That doesn't stop the church from trying to justify it in retrospect. Nor does it change the fact that women are still treated as second class citizens within the church. Know of any women with any power in the church? I bet you can't think of one, the only time women are allowed any authority is over other women, who must of course, defer to their husbands.
Call the holy underwear whatever you want, but there is a reason that it rarely gets mentioned to new members of the church- It's ridiculous. Quasi-mandatory Tithing is bad enough, but asking me to pay an exorbitant sum to buy underwear that can only be bought from the church, or else it won't be holy enough? It's hard to see that as anything other than a money-making scam.
I can understand how this might look like wild conspiracy theory, especially to the 'Faithful'. No doubt there are plenty of unfounded rumors about any church floating around out there. However I have first-hand experience with the church due to the misfortune of having a parent as a member. I'm neither gay or religious, so it would seem that I have no personal stake in the topic. However, I do live in the U.S. and any time religion seeks to leverage itself in political/legislative matters, especially with the purpose of limiting the freedoms of U.S. citizens. I worry...and sometimes rant.
If that was too long, and you skipped to the bottom: You can't restrict/mock my sexual preference if I can't restrict/mock your religious preference.

The Church was accused of advocating abolition and encourgaing free blacks to buy land and become members of the church in the 1800s. Which at that time, esp my many in Missori was seen as an attempt to enfrancise blacks, a grave sin to those who wanted to keep free blacks and slaves out of full citizenship. see:
Black and Mormon by Newell G. Bringhurst, Darron T. Smith
It is now invogue to accuse The Church of being racist and the most popular method is using the priesthood ban as the example of this.
as elder Oaks said in a PBS documentary
"I can't remember any time in my life when I felt greater joy and relief than when I learned that the priesthood was going to be available to all worthy males, whatever their ancestry. I had been troubled by this subject through college and my graduate school, at the University of Chicago where I went to law school. I had many black acquaintances when I lived in Chicago, the years '54 through '71. I had many times that my heart ached for that, and it ached for my Church, which I knew to be true and yet blessings of that Church were not available to a significant segment of our Heavenly Father's children. And I didn't understand why; I couldn't identify with any of the explanations that were given. Yet I sustained the action; I was confident that in the time of the Lord I would know more about it, so I went along on faith.
Nobody was more relieved or more pleased when the word came. I remember where I was when I learned that the priesthood would be available to all worthy males, whatever their ancestry. I was at a mountain home that our family had purchased to have a place of refuge. I had my sons up there, and we were digging something. We had a big pile of dirt there. I've forgotten what it was now, but the phone rang in the house. I went inside, and it was Elder Boyd K. Packer. He said: "I have been appointed to advise you as a representative of the academic people, many of whom have been troubled by the ban on the priesthood, professors, and students, and so on. As president of Brigham Young University and as their representative [Elder Oaks was president of BYU at this time], I've been appointed to advise you that the revelation has been received that all worthy male members will be eligible to receive the priesthood, whatever their ancestry." I thanked him, and I went outside and I told my boys, and I sat down [voice cracks with emotion] on that pile of dirt and cried. And I still feel emotion for that moment. I cried for joy and relief that the Lord had spoken through His prophet, that His blessings were now available to all: the blessings of the priesthood, the blessings of the temple, the blessings of eternity. That's what we desired. I praise God for it."
This wide spread belief as you put it, in the "Curse of Cain" was in fact NEVER official Church Doctrine, nor was it ever claimed to be a revelation from Heavenly Father. The fact is you have to look at the general political nature of the United States at the time as to why the Chuch took so long to ordain black men.
In fact, Jospeh Smith himself ordained some black men to the priesthood, and they kept it even after the practice was suspended.
And, as to your last statement, I NEVER tried to restrict anything you said. I don't have that power nor inclination. I was stating how I felt about the sign. Terms ike "magical underware" are belittling and childish, and it wasn't funny to me. If you found it funny or whatever, kudos. Go ahead, make fun of Mormons, I don't have to like it.
Also, I personally disagree with how the Church got involved in Prop 8. I personally see no problem with homosexual marriage. despite what you are implying, I am not a mindless drone who does everything her peers in the Church do. I follow the comandments and not the politics.
P.S. I have found that those who were once Mormon themselves or had a relative/friend/aquaitance who was a bad representative of Mormons are the most entusiastic Mormon bashers. It is my humble opinion that it is because they know deep down that there is truth in the Church and they are spiritually conflicted and feel the need to make those of us who are devout just as miserable as they are.

Oris, I would take you a bit more seriously if, before making fun of Brucie, you learned how to construct a sentence in English.
The nice thing about communication, though, is that it doesn't need to be perfectly executed to get a point across. It does help, but only if the point in question has any merit. Otherwise, inability to spell or construct a sentence gives us permission to both dismiss the faulty arguments AND ridicule you with our relentless sarcasm!
Thanks for all the giggles!
By Me
While I appreciate the attempt at humor, not all these signs are real or intentional. Picture 34 shows the guy with the rebel t-shirt holding up a sign with red print saying "does this shirt..." Now look at picture 29. Same people, different angle. On the left hand side you see the arm and part of the sign of the guy with the rebel t-shirt. It has black print and a "t" on it. Don't believe everything you read.
By Maggie
So, there can't be two intentionally funny signs at one protest? I don't actually understand what your saying.
By Sam
Yeah, #34 is pretty obviously (and badly) shopped. The others are funny though.

The Coalition for Life, a locally-run pro-life organization that has been very successful (and is a partner in the fight against abortion with St. Mary's), has completed the second episode of Being Human. The first episode was the best thing ever aired on EWTN and the second looks to be just as good. It airs on July 25 at 5:30pm CST and it kicks off the next push for 40 Days for Life on a broader national scale. A pro-life movement started by Aggie Catholics.
Here is a sneak peak.

I am currently on my 3rd tube. Don't know why the bad reviews. BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Sad that it is discontinued :( Now I will be on the hunt for a better BB cream. Any recommendation, anyone?
I don't use it often but when I do, I feel it is less harsh on my face than other foundations. I love how glowy my face looks and how I don't have to use much concealer with this.

I was given this by my sister, she gave me the lightest color which was too pale for my skin, and the texture was very dry. So I have been mixing this with Garnier BB cream for oily skin the lightest shade they offer, since that is orange and very runny mixing these two together works great!! it makes the perfect match for my skin, and does well with controlling the oil.

I got this BB cream as a gift 2 years ago and I like it. I dont use it often and its not a HG for me but I like it enough that I'll repurchase it.
Product: I'm tan and the BB cream shades are all fair. As it was a gift, I didn't get to choose the shade (I'm not sure if there's only one shade?) and the shade I have is too light for me. The consistency is also really thick and can be hard to apply. The BB cream is also quite shiny which I think is good in helping us look more radiant. But on its own, your whole face can end up looking shiny. To solve these problems, I mix in a darker liquid foundation with a more watery consistency (abt 1 part BB cream and 1 part liquid foundation) and voila, I have a wonderful liquid base for my face! Just shiny enough to look radiant and much more easy to blend into my face. This combination also looks very natural on me after it sets. You have to give the BB cream a few minutes to set into your face and let the colour oxidise so don't panic if the colour looks very odd on you at first.
I used this for my sister for her prom without mixing (because she's fairer than me) and at first, the colour looked very unnatural and I panicked. But after abt 10 mins, the colour oxidized to a very natural looking colour on her and she looked so radiant yet you can't see any visible foundation or anything.
Staying power: Even without a make up primer, this can stay on for a whole day. It'll fade a little but not in an obvious manner. Also, it doesn't transfer everywhere and make a mess.
Packaging: I like the way its packaged because its easy to use and doesn't make a mess. The only thing is that the tip can become abit messy with the BB cream getting onto the side of the tip.
Overall, I'd recommend it if you are looking for a good BB cream but if you want to go for a more natural look, I'd recommend you mix this cream with a more watery foundation because this BB cream is of really thick consistency!

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium Hair: Brunette Eyes: Brown
the coverage was really nice, I have a lot of acne scares and i didn't even need to apply extra concealer on.
it applied on easily but it was a bit thick.
it broke me out bad on my cheeks and made me really oily. Would not recommend for acne prone skin.

This BB cream has a thick texture. My face looks cakey immediately after application because of the thickness. But give it a few hours, and wait for it to set, and my skin feels moisturized and looks silky. Coverage is full, and makes my skin tone looks even and covers the minor scars and discolorations on my face. This BB cream does not break me out which is great because I have a sensitive skin! It comes with a pump dispenser, which is a plus because of hygiene issues. However, the pump can be iffy in terms of controlling the amount dispensed.

This is the first BB cream i've bought.. Usually i'm using liquid foundation from Revlon but then i willing to try BB cream because it was like all-the-base-make-up-you-used-on one bottle.. It's true.. i don't even need to use concealer or even powder anymore.. it has shimmer effect so i certainly no need to apply highlighter.. So my basic everyday make-up is changing.. I only need BB cream + eyeliner + lipgloss then i done !!
Just be careful for the amount you took, don't use it too much.. let it for a couple of second before apply it for more..

{dec. 29 ;10ish..pm}Euphorium:---6pm-9:15ish---1.Angela came over & we hung around for a while (yay)& we talked about...everything. Then after i ate I walked to her house & she burnt me alll of the AFI CDs & Tsunami Bomb. But i left them @ her house...so I havent heard them yet. & She gave me 11 Jones bottle caps (making 122 for me) & her dad took us to EE. People from TCF showed up. -faints- I know. Annie's Downfall was the same as ALB. rofl. I talked to Shea & she said that she quit because she hates them. Some 7th graders played & they were so much better then AD, which is sad on Brandon's part. Later on we discovered the 7th graders outside smoking. rofl. Sick. @ EE the people who hugged me were estatic for some reason or another. But Tim had a "tight" pink shirt on & i nearly died. He hugged me. Then he asked how my Xmas was & I returned the question. Then he procceded to be taken down by Eric. Eric high fived me. & Cory told me that he "owed" me a hug. So we hugged & Angi & I went back to look for Jones, all that was left was the sugarfree kind, so we didn't get one. Walked to McDonalds: just me & her. Saw some wicked tall cute guy inside (with a skateboard). & I talked to the big plastic Ronald McDonald for a bit. Walked over to GH. Angela talked to Derek. He had dyed and cut his hair. It looks so much better!!! It's brown again. Wait. This is the first time I've seen him with a NORMAL color hair. We went back to EE. Cory had a drumstick from somewhere & hit me with it. (he's really nice) then we (Cory, Me & Angi) all managed to make it to GH. Gravity House:1.Had my shoes stolen. Found one under Eric's butt. And the other one someone had put on the...ramp? spine? whatever the hell it was. And I paid Tim a dollar to get it for me. lol 2. I tried to fling pixie stick sugar stuff @ Cory & it ended up in my hair again. For the SECOND time. 3. Eric runs up to me and says "you should go out with Cory." And runs away. 4. Shea comes in a hugs me. Lacey waved to me like mad & asked me if I was still going out with Joe. lmao. Scary. 5. Cory hugged me like 6 times. Sat on me twice. I gave him a dollar to buy pop. He had a sticker in his pocket & he wouldn't show it to me, so I reached in (his pocket) & got it out. It had a thing you could mail, which was a questioneer (sp?) & the last question said "why are you so ugly?" Oh yes. That is what happened. That is like all the main things..... While AD was playing cory was sitting on a chair & shane (name?. lol) jumped on his lap..and I couldnt pass up the opperrtunity, so I jumped on his lap. It was amusing. We broke a vase.{dec. 30 }1.Got up @ 3, my mom was mad. 2. Cleaned the house. 3. Cleaned own room4. showered.5. Ate.6. Watched TV.7. Played the Sims.9. Ate more..(dinner)10. Mother came home.11. Father came home.12. Went to Kmart. (purchased more minutes.)13. Went to the library. Got online..talked to Katie. Left Cory a message. Checked email. Activated minutes. Got books. Got CD. 14. Home.15. Sims.16. Burned CD.17. Listened to & wrote this.18. This morning when I got up, sadly the first thing on my mind was "fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer, place your hand in mine, i'll leave when i wanna" but that was because i fell asleep listening to it. & Cory..probably because I was with him for 3 hours, like straight last night.{dec. 31; 11:42pm}Just stopped playing FFX. 13 hours into the game, baby! And I am currently watching Hillary Duff (-gag-) "perform" some song of hers and she has a load of black eyeliner & shadow on. Her nails are painted black too. Scary. But she has a really cool shirt on. Happy New Year. 2004. That makes.....3ish more years until I'm done with school. Wicked, I know. I went over Katie's house today, for a few hours. We sang like crazy for BSB & Christina. Yay. Well. It is now OFFICALLY 2004. Odd, isn't it? I just wish I could have BEEN somewhere. Not at my house. I think I'll go visit Angi tomorrow. Which is really today. If you know what I mean.{jan. 4, 2004 ; 2:39pm} Last night I watched Wayne's World 1 & 2. I must say that 1 is better then 2. They cut out some of the funniest parts from 1, especially the ones with Garth in them. He is the best. I should dress like him for Halloween....which is in a really long time. But oh well. For some reason I thought about Tom yesterday. Strange, I think. The last time I really hung out with him was when he was going out with Angi -snicker-. Which was...mid-Aug.? He was in my lunch period one day last month & he said hi & stuff. Then me & Katie asked him why he never came around. He said that he was always with his friend. I think he ment the kid who wears the blue tinted prescription glasses. (I remember when I ran into them one night @ GH. I was there with...oh yeah, Angi met me there. Wicked good news! My dad (whom is acting strange lately) called the phone company & we're getting our phone back on within days!!! Plus we're getting call waiting, caller ID & long distance. He is thinking of getting a second phone line, so we can be online all the time. Anyway. He has been...attentative lately. Meaning... the other day, he offered to cook for me. Which was wayy out of line for him. And he's actually talking to me & not saying "do the dishes before your mother comes home." He's been going to work alot lately too. Even today, Saturday, he works. It's getting a bit scary. lol. Well. Winter Vacation is overGood- 1. back to school. 2. get to wear new clothes. 3. get to hear what people did. 4. get to hang out with friends all day..sort of. 5. Gym is only until the 23. Which makes only 2 fitness days!!!!!bad- 1. Mazzucco speach. 2. Cardillo "newspaper". 3. early to sleep & wake up. 4. No more 4AM cartoons. 5. Probably forgot most french.Grandma just took my mom to the store for something. Maybe they'll bring me something good. Probably not. lol. {8:38pm}As I said before my dad was acting differently. Well, it has offically affected his brain...he brought home a stray dog. It reminds me of that dog...Wishbone, the one that could read. They look alike. We bathed & fed him & my mom just left to get some food, a leash, a bowl and a collar. I hope this means we are keeping him. I'll let you know what goes...or doesnt. {jan. 7, 2004; 5:41pm}I was obsessed with naming the dog Edward ScissorHands,I thought it was a great idea but got and ended with Eddie. Eddie was a cute doggie. Nice and slept alot, ALOT. I was starting to love him. Today as I walked in the door, no hopeful pup came to greet me. He ran outside earlier this morning to never return. And i highly doubt. New subject please, I'm getting sad. I didnt go to school Tuesday, because I had wicked mad cramps and I swear I nearly broke my back. My telephone STILL doesnt work. They changed it to 6 to 7 WORKING days. Which means not until Monday. "We're really busy." Psst. {jan. 8, 2004; 9:09p,}****Mean what you say cuz no one will take the blame. Mean those words: The responsibility's yours.****¤Listened to TB since Angi brought it over the other day. Obsession worthy..oh yes. Girl singer. o0o. Mysterious!! lol. her voice reminds me of some Japanese cartoon beginning. Most likely the song "obsession" by see~saw.¤ Eddie has been comming around. I guess he must just really likes to be a "neighborhood dog." ¤Wrote spech for mazzucco yesterday. Didn't have to give it today. Most likely tomorrow. -gasp- I'll fail for sure. I always get excited & talk really fast.¤I believe I am failing history. I get like F's on every test. I can't ever remember the stuff. I can sit there & "cram" right before & know everything, but when I go to take it..I can't remember it. -must study for monday quiz- We've been watching that movie with Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman. Their Irish & go to America to get some free land. Blah blah. ¤Well me & angi were supposed to go to GH today but ended up not going because her parents wont let her go anywhere during the weekdays because of the 'D' she got in algebra. And my mom wont let me go alone. She probably thinks I'm going to have sex with everyone. rofl. Probably. -shakes head- Yeah. I do weird things...(ask anyone) but I'm not going to fuck the world. Or anyone soon for that matter....-ponders- unless they are super famous like...well super famous guys. muhahaha. ¤ i've been working on stuff for DA & I've done 6 things so far. yeah yeah. And one poem (out of all the other one's I've written lately this one stands out for some reason. maybe I'll post it here. no one reads this anyway. I think I do it for my own benefit.) -sigh- Must make new "layout" & keep it that way forever. ¤What else to say? What else is there? Ahh. I'll talk about school today.School today: 1st- watched tiffany, katie, & ashley give their speeches. lame. Mazzucco had a freaky Elvis tie one & had to mention that it was Elvis's birthday & he would have been 69. Big deal. Elvis is shit. Do a double take? I repeat: Elvis is shit. Not "THE SHIT," here I'm saying he sucks. 2nd- watched TC & NK movie3rd- Took wicked amount of notes & stared @ our scary new student teacher guy. rofl. Everyone was like "is he cute?!!" then we see him & we're like "oh. oops." It was grand.4th- turns out I didnt forget everything french. I still remember it. we learned how to correctly say the date & our birth days & stuff among that.lunch- fucking kirsten threatened me with that red stuff. -gag- I hate it & i wish people would leave me alone about it & not tease me with it. I swear to god (whom I dont even believe in) that I will hit the next person who does that. Why does this keep happening?PE- weightroom. parterned with katrina. who is black, may I add. But she is awesome & her & ashley are like my gym class pals. Always partners & stuff. talked about the norm. stuff.8th- have to do interview on mazzucco about teh speech team. Which i dont care to do. im scared of mazzucco & his ...critical-ness. I dont like directly talking to him. He always asks me why i didnt join speech team. Maybe next year I will. After I write this article on it I might actually understand why he wants me on there so badly. When ever he asks me it's goes something like this: "katey... tell me again why you didnt join speech team" -he stuffs hands in owns pockets & rocks back & forth on his heals- -me: plays dumb- "because....I...-enter lame excuse here- And that is how it works.¤ I need a new desktop. I am beginning to get tired of looking @ Bert. I never thought I would say that. But it happened. Maybe I'll do something with arrows. Muhahaha. Yes. {jan. 10 ; 2:51pm}I got a cool red fuzzy "cashmaire" scarf. I'm wearing it with my pajamas now as I type. Warm. I want one like katie's but I didnt bother to look for one. So our internet is said to be back on on Monday. The guy said Monday for sure. So you'll get to read this, which is from dec. 29 to today & maybe a few days later if i feel like writting. I 'm obsessed with the Tsunami Bomb song "Say it if you mean it" and i dont know why. My desktop now reads "mean what you say cuz no one will take the blame. mean those words; the responsibility's yours." The lyrics keep comming back to my head. My hair lately has been really staticy. And driving me crazy. I wore it down for 3 days in a row so far. Which is a miracle on my part. I'll probably wear it down on Thursday. (and i'll try to the whole week..it keeps my ears warm) Which reminds me..I got some earmuffs for the bus stop because they are always cold. So yeah. Thursday, is another one of those dorky shows @ the EE that I tend to love. rofl. This time it's one of the much, much better local bands: Ten Count Fall. Along with AJ's band (Another Sophomore Attempt)...which I'll have to see some of because AJ is MDHP and he's a cool person. He also told me & katie that he would break out with Spice Girls in the middle of a dong for us. Hopefully he does. Yes yes. And SKG too. I'm going with Katie & Angi (if her parents will let her..see last date ¤ # 5.). We'll probably do one of those "your mom/dad picks up & mine drops off" like usual. I think it's best that way because you dont feel like you are putting it all on the other persons parents or whatever. Well. Beth & Cory are going out again. Since New Years, yes I knew. Tim was telling me just yesterday how they had video taped Cory saying how ugly/whatever Beth was & alot of bad stuff. Then he told me not to go out with Cory. (I wasnt going to anyway. he goes to ursaline. what sense does that make?) Then Tim whippes out his wallet & shoves like 15 "free skate passes from GH" at me. LMOA. He gets them from sweeping the floor there... ha i love that. That reminds me. Thursday after we see TCF & part of AJ's we're leaving for nss8 (well me & ang. deicded this & katie will come too because who wants to stay by themselves? lol) and staying until like 9:30 or something of that sort. One thing I hate is that like if you want to hang out with a certain person & im with ang & katie I really cant because I came there with them & i feel really guilty and all. You know? ((NOTE: I SWEAR TO WHOEVER YOU BELIEVE IN. IF YOU FUCKING COME AND FOLLOW ME AROUND AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN I WILL BE PISSED. ))Recap of yesterday school-ly-ness:1- i didnt have to do my speech. i just had to listen to almost an hours worth about gun control. 2-almost finished movie with TC & NK in it. Good good. Quiz on mon over something else. 3- took more alot of notes; lab on monday. 4-french stuff. must bring picture on monday. lunch- ate skittles & sour patch kid things. If i heard correctly 1990 said I was "hott". Scary. Then Kirsten was eating some of Katie's sour patch things (wait. am i gettting these mixed up with cabbage patch kids? roflmao) and there was a yellow one with a red top so she's like "look james! it's you!" It was funny. PE- Kimmel & fender had these gate things set up in a circle and i swaer they were going to put us in it. But they didnt. We played vollyball. For the record: I served 5 points in a row & won the game for us. Pretty good for the girl who just stands there, huh? I was so proud of myself I went around telling everyone in all my classes afterwards. 8th-typed out paper for brandy & looked for picture of a soup can for the paper. 9th-math stuff. getting a 93% in the class. yay. On the bus ride Tim asked me & angi of we had every kissed someone before. and we're both like "well...duh" rofl. It was great because as you know, it was a total lie for both of us. Then i came home cleaned everything because my dad neglected to do nothing. (his friend Berry blew his own brains out over the weekend. i remember I went to a party in their backyard like a million years ago. The thing i remember most is how me & this one boy who was like a year older than me kept sneaking sugar cubes. And they had a giant pool but we couldnt swim becuase it was too cold) So i forgave him. And my parental units are home. Until next time. =)
UPDATE CAUSE IM HYPER.1. ran into mike @ HTBlink 182 CDShirt with cool bear on it.2. Saw 2 guys with mohawks. Angela had to stop me from touching the first guy.Today I:went to the mall with Kyle & my mom. 1. Bought:AFI shirt.ChokerJellys2. Ate chicken (because i love it & im almost a vegitarian) @ Chick-fil-aYEAH YEAHMONDAY. 6:30. ANNIE'S DOWNFALL. FREE. @ EE .SEE ME THERE!!!much love to da readers. ...welll..mostly mike. because he reads ...and cares.........i think. -hugs alot like mad!!-
I stole a few minutes for you.1. LOTR was the best. Sorry I havent said anything about it. It was amazing to see Angela's reactions on things. The greatest part was hearing everyone gasp @ the same time & stuff. 2. Today we are going to the Southern Park Mall @ 4. I got alot of money for xmas...so I'll probably buy some good stuff. lol. (I'll let you know what I buy. muhaha.)3. xmas went xmas-y. yeah yeah yeah.well. im off. again. until.next.time.whenever.that.will.be.
1.School was very school-ish. I roamed the halls during 8th because Cardillo thougth I was in the library. But i like Cardillo, so it was bad. Tim claimed my right hand. (not for what you're thinking.) And insisted that Thursday I meet him at NSS8. Which, if I do decide to go, is what I am looking forward too. I want a sparkly bracelet from the man that works there. What's his name? Derek stole my cookie that i bought for Heather for her birthday and he ate it.2.My grandma in NC sent me welll....when I opened it (a christmas gift, you see?) I was in tears. It was worse then the tennis racket she got me last year. (Yeah. She bought me a tennis racket.) You don't want to know what she gave me. This Christmas is seriously going to be the worst ever in my life. How come it was much better when you actually believed in Santa? I swear if I dont get something even relating to The Used. I will be mad. I just want my mom to give me money and drive me + Katie to the mall (why would i go without her?) and leave me there for a few hours. I would be soo happy. But will she? Highly doubtable. -sigh- Just....don't give me anything. I'm a bit depressed already. Imagine when xmas is finally here. I always feel guilty that I cannot buy anyone anything. Sorry. Just please don't give me anything, I insist. I cry at the fact that I canmot give my favorite people anything.4. I cry after everything now. Looks like I've busted out in full emo-ness. -sigh- I must invest in everything emo now. And wear a scarf. Then I can bee very, very emo. Oh yes, I must never, ever forget to go completely vegan and "straight-edge." Tomorrow I'll have the "black X" across the back of my right hand. I wonder how many people will ask what it stands for. Maybe, possibly I can pass for paritally emo. Or a quarter. You know. The kind that are not "stright-edge" or vegans. Yeah. I'm getting depressed writting this. Forgive if I ruined your evening. Please don't hurt me. Nothing again. Everything lost. We're losing grip. I'm feeling this. My heart is torn. Between myself. I'm sick of this life. What am I living for? I've lost connection. And you ask 'what's wrong'? I want to reach out and hurt everyone. Let me hurt longer. Let me live what I deserve. I watch myself in the mirror. And cry away all that I fear.Is this an awesome song or what?!
I'm supposed to mention something here because someone -cough cough- demanded me too. I'm going out with Bill. Muhaha. Happy now?!

Workmen unearth an ancient tomb beneath Camelot filled with treasure and strange carvings of ravens. A worker reaches out to touch a magnificent, glowing jewel on the sarcophagus and drops down dead. When Gaius and Merlin investigate, it's only Merlin's magic that prevents Gaius from being killed by the same trap.
Gaius begs Uther to seal up the tomb, fearing it belongs to Cornelius Sigan, a terrifying sorcerer from local legend. The all-powerful Sigan cursed Camelot as he faced death, swearing he would return and raze the city to the ground. But Uther is too taken with the treasure to indulge Gaius, insisting Sigan is just a fairytale.
One of the workmen is approached by a conman, Cedric, who tricks him into revealing that Arthur holds the only key to the tomb. Cedric goes about gaining Arthur's trust. When a huge wild boar charges straight for Arthur while on a hunt, Merlin uses magic to fell the beast just in time, but Cedric takes the credit. Arthur offers him a reward and Cedric chooses a role in the Royal
Merlin, meanwhile, is relegated to mucking out the horses' stables, where Cedric smoke bombs him with a sleeping draft. Merlin passes out in a pile of manure and when he wakes the horses have been released. Arthur blasts Merlin for his recent poor performance and Merlin loses his cool, calling Arthur gullible. Seething, Arthur orders Merlin to think about whether he really wants to be his servant anymore.
Gutted, Merlin tells Gaius that, just for once, he'd like Arthur to see him for who he really is. Gaius urges patience. The prince is in more danger than ever. Gaius has translated the runes found on the jewel in the tomb: "He who breaks my heart, completes my work". The stone contains Sigan's soul. If removed from its setting, the "heart" will be broken and the soul released.
Gaius and Merlin assume the jewel is safely locked away but, as they sleep, Cedric finally gets his hands on Arthur's keys. The moment Cedric frees the jewel from its setting a vapour consumes him and he becomes Sigan. The break-in is discovered and Merlin tries to warn Arthur that Cedric has been possessed, but the prince won't buy it. Arthur tells Merlin his services are no longer required, and calls on Cedric to escort him from the palace. Merlin takes one look at Cedric's eyes and leaps on him. They fight. Arthur steps in and throws Merlin into prison.
As night falls, Cedric/Sigan stands on the roof of the castle and utters a terrible spell, calling on the very walls of Camelot to help inflict his vengeance. A gargoyle begins to stir, then another. Stone eyes flick open and the gargoyles peel away from the walls. In the lower town, people flee as one of the screaming winged monkeys scythes through market stalls. Another gargoyle swoops on Gwen. Arthur gathers his knights, but it's too late - the castle walls start to crack and the palace square has become a battleground.
Arthur takes a hit, losing his sword. The monster swoops in to finish the job, but Gwen pulls Arthur to safety just in time. A moment of frisson between the two of them is cut short as Arthur winces in pain - he's been wounded.
In his prison cell, Merlin can hear the mayhem and knows Arthur's in mortal peril. He utters a spell and the cell door explodes from its hinges. Gaius surprises Merlin by urging him to consult the only one old enough to know Sigan - the Great Dragon. Merlin doesn't think the Dragon can be trusted any more, but Gaius warns that the creature's wisdom should not to be lightly rejected, especially at a time like this.
At first, the Dragon refuses Merlin's request, but Merlin argues that Arthur's prophesied "destiny" will not come to pass if Sigan triumphs. The Dragon agrees to give Merlin a spell of the Old Religion to vanquish Sigan, but with no guarantee it will work and only on the condition that Merlin gives him a promise that, one day, Merlin will set him free.
Ordering his knights to lock the doors of the palace and save the King, Arthur makes a last stand alone. The gargoyles attack and he is knocked down, semi-conscious, but Merlin arrives, sending a powerful flash of magic through the gloom. The beast returns to stone mid-flight. It plummets, smashing to pieces. Merlin rushes to Arthur.
Cedric/Sigan is impressed by Merlin's power. He questions Merlin's loyalty to one who treats him like a slave. Sigan offers to help Merlin unleash his true power. The world will finally appreciate his greatness and Arthur will see him for what he truly is. Merlin is tempted. But when Sigan talks of the two of them ruling together and teaching Arthur to fear Merlin, Merlin balks. Better to serve a good man than rule with an evil one.
Sigan seethes. If Merlin won't join him, he will simply possess Merlin and harness his power. A terrified Merlin acts quickly, uttering the Dragon's spell as vapour surges across the ground and coils its way up his legs. His body jerks violently. His eyes flick black and he lies still.
Gaius searches amidst the devastation. Merlin approaches, but there's something cold about his eyes. For an awful moment, it seems Merlin has been possessed, but then he breaks into a grin and holds up the jewel: it once again glows with life. Gaius and Merlin embrace.

With "The Manticore" and "World of Wonders" this forms "The Deptford Trilogy."
Sweet and slightly magical prose about small towns and wars and growing older. But how is this a trilogy about how Boy Staunton died? Didn't we get the answer at the end of this book? I'm satisfied enough with what I already know that I have no desire to pick up the other two books.
I re-read this book every year or two, and everytime I read it I discover something new in it.
It's a fantastic study of the role a single, careless action and the resulting guilt (real or imagined) can play in our lives. If you enjoy thoughtful writing and highbrow humour, it will be one of your favourite books.
I read this one a long time ago, but I remember really enjoying it. If I have a moment, I'll read it again.
If you are looking for a thrilling mystery book, this is not the book for you. I admit Fifth Business is a good read and can definitely improve your vocabulary :D but something was missing. It seems like there wasn't really anything that was exciting and keeping you on your toes. I loved Dunny's character development though and the how the mysterious Paul Dempster was portrayed. It is definitely a very complicated book to read and requires a lot of concentration.
I recently re-read this, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It was required reading in high school, and I didn't like it at all. Reading it under my own power was much better.
This novel is a complex work that was written by an obviously smart man and mature writer; however actually reading the book is about as entertaining as watching people have root canals done on them. The main character (Dunstan Ramsay) is an annoying figure who possesses a constant tone of superiority which alternately paints either the reader or other characters in a decidedly negative light.
The book's plot is also quite uninspired, with the most interesting parts being quite of the depressing variety (ie watching the slow but complete collapse of a entire family into suicide and depression)
If you like that kind of thing as well as disturbing carnal scenes and deep but overall meaningless symbolism, then this book is for you.
QuotesAdd a Quote
But even Calvinism can be endured, if you will make some compromise with yourself. But you – there is a whole great piece of your life that is unlived, denied, set aside. That is why at fifty you can't bear it any longer and fly all to pieces and pour out your heart to the first really intelligent woman you have met and get into a schoolboy yearning for a girl who is as far from you as if she lived on the moon. This is the revenge of the unlived life, Ramsay. Suddenly it makes a fool of you.
He had another delusion of the political novice: he was going to apply 'sound business principles' to government and thereby give it a fine new gloss.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Hotel Mark Twain San Francisco
9 Days at the Mark Twain SFOfrom A TripAdvisor Member
It's an older hotel, and shows its age in places, but it was clean, comfortable, and certainly a very convenient base for looking around SFO. Public transport is close by, and it's a very short walk to Union Square. The staff were excellent to deal with and were always willing to provide advice and assistance.
In other reviews I read of security/safety issues. We never felt threatened at any time of the day or night. There are "poor folk" in the neighbourhood, but any refusal to contribute was accepted with grace.
We would certainly stay again.
Solid Value - European Feelfrom Colts/Pacers
Ok, but you can probably do better.from TravlinGuy
Best part: Location
Worst parts: Front desk staff who really doesn't know ANYTHING. I asked for a spoon one night to eat some hard-packed ice cream, and the front desk clerk REFUSED to give me a spoon. I've never seen a hotel that would refuse a guest such a simple, basic, reasonable request. The elevator is tiny and very slow. If you try to take the stairs, be careful. The stairs are not even big enough to put your whole foot on--a real safety hazard.
t Stay Here!!from A TripAdvisor Member
The first thing that went wrong had to do with the reservation. I had booked this room over an Internet website specializing in hotels. When I made my reservation I requested a smoking room. Well, lo and behold, when I arrived they had no record of my request and made little effort to mitigate the situation beyond reciting the "no guarantees" policy as if from rote memorization. I did not make a big deal about it but, mindful of my fatigue and the hotel's noisy location, did ask for a quiet room in the hotel's interior, on an upper floor.
The next sign that something was rotten was waiting what seemed like an eternity for the tiny little elevator to arrive. I had to stuff myself in there along with three German tourists. Exiting the elevator on the eighth floor, it was immediately apparent that the owners had invested most of their money in fixing up the lobby. All of the interior was painted a drab, ugly yellow and smelled musty and dusty, with cheap decor reminiscent of a boarding house. Even beyond all this, the room still managed to disappoint. Room was very, very small with paper-thin walls. The people next door (who were smoking up a storm in their room) were watching a movie on the TV at what seemed like full volume, with tire-squealing car chases interspersed with what sounded like orgasmic moans coming through the wall and blaring out into the hotel's interior. There was no air conditioning and hardly any breeze (surprising, considering that it was very windy that day). Windows of the room directly faced windows of a room across the interior. The queen bed was way too short and covered with a cheap, thin spread. There were marks on the walls and stains on the carpet. In the dark and tiny bathroom I could hear my neighbor turning the faucet on and off, and from a vent above the shower I could hear clanging coming up the pipes from the hotel restaurant kitchen.
I knew I would hate every minute of staying at the Hotel Mark Twain. Between the noisy neighbors and the stagnant, smelly room I did not believe I would be able to sleep there, either. I went across the street to the Hilton and booked a room for that night (beautiful and clean, with a spectacular East Bay view).
I attempted to get a refund for at least one night, to no avail. My feeling is that "bait and switch" for them is a common and accepted business practice, with no remorse for the guests they disappoint and displease from fraudulent advertising and insufficient accommodations. All staff seemed to be able to do was recite booking policies and tell me that I should have called the hotel directly. I suppose that, from their perspective, you are treated with the contempt you deserve for booking online and thus avoiding paying the full price.
I have stayed at boutique hotels before, and I can accept the lack of modern conveniences as part of the experience, as long as standards of quality service and accommodation are maintained. In my experience, the HMT presented all of the inconveniences of a boutique hotel, and none of its advantages. The Hotel Mark Twain is like a tacky, cheap impersonization of it betters (and there are many for nearly the same price, so avoid this one and stay somewhere else).
A Perdect Fitfrom gan03
Terrible - Could not wait for the time to check out!!from A TripAdvisor Member
First of all, for some reason, many that respond to tripadvisor seem to give us bad reviews. Perhaps some of these reviews are other hotels and perhaps a lot of them are legitimate. But we do have MANY departing guests that enjoy their stay and do come back. AND, we have (currently) a 3.7 out of 4 rating with Expedia and 3 out of 5 with Travelocity. It just shows that, like Baskin Robbins with 31 flavors, everyone has a different taste. We're sorry we are not everyones. But I would like to comment on some of these reviews.
Someone wrote that how dare we say we are 3.5 stars. We never have claimed that. This site gives us 2 and AAA gives us 3 diamonds.
Some of our rooms do have tiny baths as mentioned and some rooms are not giant - we are a boutique hotel. But many rooms are very spacious and some bathrooms are large by boutique standards. With any hotel, if you don't like something, see if you can have your room changed. If we are not sold out, we will gladly change you to a room with a larger bathroom or more room space.
We are three blocks from Union Square and Cable Cars. We are right across the street from the biggest Hilton in San Francisco and one block from the 4-star Hotel Monaco and Clift. So it's funny, no one ever says they are in a bad neighborhood. It's true that if you go right out of our door a few blocks you will be in the Tenderloin. So go left to Union Square! You'd have to go right if you are going to the Golden Gate or Warfield Theatres.
And I have seen no pimps in the neighborhood, so I doubt those were the people yelling (as one person wrote). And someone blamed our neighborhood for their car being broken into - crime does not have a neighborhood - it can happen anywhere.
We do not have dirty sheets. Our housekeeping staff is really good at cleaning and work long days and work hard. But since the 4-year-old carpet gives people the illusion it is dirty - we will be replacing it completely by next year. We are also adding a tier of deluxe rooms with higher thread count sheets and bath linen as well as ceiling fans, new carpet, mini bars - this should be completed in the next few month.
Very few boutique hotels have air conditioning in San Francisco. We only have about 8-10 hot days a year. But in addition to putting ceiling fans in our deluxe rooms over the next few months, the entire hotel should have time some time in 2006.
Our valet parking at $30 (plus tax) per day is perhaps the best rate in the neighborhood. Parking at many other hotels is over $40 per day. And it does have in/out privileges. Those who book with the hotel directly can also ask for a parking package, which will save you $10 per day. And the parking charges go directly on the room bill, so I don't understand the comment about how the valet couldn't figure out the change for a guest. Also, we did have some delays that were reported to us directly from guests from our valet service. So we have switched to the valet service that was voted best of the city from SF Weekly readers.
Yes it's small. Sorry. Getting a bigger and newer one has been discussed, but it's a major overhaling and still being reviewed.

Management and Employees refuse to solve your problems and deal dishonestlyfrom A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed there for 4 days and during my first day after I went out for a few hours I couldn't open the electronic door of my room. It took sometime before an employee really went to check with me that the electronic door was not working and they had to call an engineer to deal with it.
Meanwhile they had to place me in another room, but the thing was - they promised I could get my stuff early in the morning (my bags, my clothes, my passport and documents - everything that I had was in that room), and the in the morning they told me that the engineer had never appeared during the night, but they would call him and then in the afternoon I would be able to go to my room and get my stuff again.
Fact, when I returned in the late afternoon - nothing, no one had moved a finger to open my room and allow me to get my stuff. They made a new promise that I would be able to do it by the next morning, but I could see they were not being honest in their "talk" about trying to solve my problem.
New morning.... nothing absolutely done. They had done nothing to open my room.... Worse, in the third evening, I wasn't still able to go to my room, and you can imagine my worry about my passport and documents, and the fact I had not been able to change clothes for more than 2 days. Worse, I couldn't even check-out of this bad hotel to find another one, since they had my passport and clothes with them.
Only in the 3rd morning did I find an employee that realized that my problem was indeed serious and deserved immediate attention. I asked to see the manager and see promised to refund my credit card in 2 days (since I had prepaid my stay), but one month passed and the refund never appeared.
I politely called to the Hotel and asked for the manager on the phone, and she just hang up on me! What I think makes it all worse is that I realized that my misfortunes were more than just the result of mere laziness and forgetfulness - they were just the normal act of a dishonest and unprofessional management. The Manager definitelly lacks any care or interest in the clients troubles, and deals rudely and dishonestly with them, promising to solve problems that she never intends to deal with.
Terrible--Never Againfrom BOOSHIE22
Top Local Tips for San Francisco
Save Big Bucks by Flying Into Oakland Airport Rather than SFO Generally, you can get a MUCH better airfare by flying into San Francisco via Oakland Airport. From Oakland, you can take an easy-to-catch bus to BART (cost = $3) and take BART into central city locations (cost = about $4). I thought it might be challenging with my wheelie suitcase, but it wasn't at all. If you are returning to the airport on a Sunday, be aware that BART does not start running from Powell until 8 a.m. I found this out the hard way and had to take a $60 cab ride to the airport. Still, even with the cab ride factored in, I still saved big by flying into Oakland.
San Francisco destination Go to Muir Woods, Yosemite and Alcatraz. Be wary of "helpful" people who will expect cash in exchange for their "assistance". If travelling by public transport, get the relevant 3/4/5 day pass.
The Journey Up Lombard Street When you come to San Francisco, you should not miss the "crookedest street" in the world. Avoid just driving down the street or being dropped off right next to it. Instead why not fulfill the whole experience by first walking up the 90 degree sidewalk at the very start of Lombard Street. You'll have some good laughs along the way with poking fun at each other and resting at intervals because it is quite a challenging feat. When you reach the top you are amazed and proud of what you accomplished even though you are out of breath! So if you're looking for a fun, physical experience you'll never forget, climbing up Lombard Street is a must on your to-do list.

Global Economic Prospects
Shifting priorities; building for the future
Global Economic Prospects | June 2014
Developing countries are headed for a third consecutive year of disappointing growth below 5 percent, as first quarter weakness in 2014 has delayed an expected pick-up in economic activity, says the World Bank's latest Global Economic Prospects report, issued on June 10, 2014.
In contrast, recovery in high-income countries is gaining momentum, despite first quarter weakness in the United States. These economies are expected to grow by 1.9 percent in 2014, accelerating to 2.4 percent in 2015 and 2.5 percent in 2016. The Euro Area is on target to grow by 1.1 percent this year, while the United States economy, which contracted in the first quarter due to severe weather, is expected to grow by 2.1 percent this year (down from the previous forecast of 2.8 percent).
The global economy is expected to pick up speed as the year progresses and is projected to expand by 2.8 percent this year, strengthening to 3.4 and 3.5 percent in 2015 and 2016, respectively. High-income economies will contribute about half of global growth in 2015 and 2016, compared with less than 40 percent in 2013.
The financial health of economies has improved. With the exception of China and Russia, stock markets have done well in emerging economies, notably, India and Indonesia. But we are not totally out of the woods yet. A gradual tightening of fiscal policy and structural reforms are desirable to restore fiscal space depleted by the 2008 financial crisis. In brief, now is the time to prepare for the next crisis.

Living For Zachary
It is funny how different organizations get put into your life. I have probably volunteered for 10-15 different organizations before Living for Zachary was presented to me, and I will tell you, it has completely changed my life. Don't get me wrong, I love to volunteer! I have always liked to be involved. I will tell you though, there is something very different and very special about Living for Zachary, and it is an organization that I am very passionate about.
Zachary Troy Schrah was a fun-loving young man who lived each day of his short life to the fullest. He was born February 10, 1993, in Garland, Texas, to Troy and Karen (Granger) Schrah. From a young age, Troy and Karen appreciated his self-confident nature and zest for life. We decided his name would be spelled Zac, not Zach or Zack. We knew he was one of a kind, even as a toddler!
Zac grew up in Plano. While he was enthusiastic about all sports, he loved baseball and football the most. As a sophomore at Clark High School, he played tackle on the Junior Varsity offensive line at Plano East Senior High School. During 2009 spring training, Plano East coaches recognized his talent and slated him to play on the Varsity team during the 2009-2010 seasons. Zac was working out with the football team after school and collapsed. There was no warning and all of coaches, players and nurses were unable to help. Zac suffered from Sudden Cardiac Arrest and in this case did not make it.
Trying to cope with Zac's death, a group of mothers began researching the incidents of SCA in young student athletes. They were shocked to learn that nationwide 10,000 young people die each year from SCA (according to the American Heart Association). That is 28 a day! Not only is that figure staggering, we feel it is absolutely unacceptable when it can be prevented in many cases.
The research also revealed that SCA is a SILENT KILLER striking the seemingly healthy and fit without symptoms or warning. They learned that simple cardiac testing can detect the potential for SCA with 99% accuracy but is not the current standard of care for routine or sport physical examinations, they were called to action. A sad but true fact is that most insurance carriers will not cover cardiac testing unless there are symptoms. But again, in most cases there are no symptoms.
Since its inception in June 2009, the core group of mothers has grown to include fathers, students, friends, businesses, schools, medical institutions and other organizations. We know that in our hearts with more education awareness and screening, fewer cases of SCA will occur. Fewer precious lives will be lost.
I am so fortunate to become a part of such a wonderful organization. Please contact me if you need any information or would like to get involved!!
