Los Angeles Lakers Must Pursue Youth Over Experience This Offseason
Despite having just four players under contract for the 2014-15 season, the Los Angeles Lakers aren't short on experience. Between Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash, they have done it all. Because of that fact, the Lakers need to be on the hunt for youth and athleticism this offseason rather than the seasoned veterans some analysts have suggested.
The Lakers are in an awkward position. Half way between a rebuild and wanting to win now; pursuing the youth of the free agency can help with both aspects.
Putting a group of aging veterans together in Brooklyn didn't work for the Nets. The youth of the Washington Wizards could have been an experienced veteran or two away from a place in the Eastern Conference Finals. Balance is key, and unless the Lakers instill more youth than they do experience this offseason, fans could be in for another mediocre season.
First of all, Jordan Hill needs to be re-signed along with Nick Young. The NBA ready Julius Randle also needs to be atop the Laker's draft list at seven if he is still on the board. With that the Lakers have youth, athleticism and a future after this Kobe inspired championship run comes to an end.
If healthy, Bryant and Nash will play a key role in the success of the Lakers next season. Providing leadership, plenty of offense and incredible basketball IQ between the pair of them, some defense in the form of youthful exuberance is what they lack.
In a conference where all of the playoff teams that aren't from San Antonio boast a bevy of young talent, the Lakers need to follow suit should they plan on competing through to May and June of 2015. With today's game steering away from half-court sets and the slower pace of yesteryear, fast and athletic wing players are becoming the key to all good teams.
It's all well and good discussing the possibility of Shawn Marion joining the team, and while he is still putting up decent numbers, he's better suited to an already contending team, not the rebuilding Lakers.
Rebuilding is unfamiliar territory for the Lakers. Their recent history of getting the best out of young players like Trevor Ariza and Earl Clark is proof in itself that if they can bring in the right pieces this offseason, they are well equipped to mold them into future champions.

Manila Symphony Orchestra – Rush Hour
When in manila, where people are very busy and pre-occupied, we sometimes forget to unwind and relax. I took my Mom to Manila Symphony Orchestra concert – Rush Hour at Ayala Museum, and I felt that this is something new! I've always thought of orchestra concerts are boring and tedious however, with Manila Symphony Orchestra (MSO) it gave me an opportunity to hear a differently on how classical music should be. I was amazed on how each of every string was plucked and creates a symphony that tickles your ears and makes you want more.
Right in the heart of the country's financial district, where all the heavy traffic intertwines, there you'll find a way to just lighten up, sit back, and enjoy. Classical music is really a city getaway that you will go to every now and then. The sound of the violinists and the cellists combined will give you a soothing aura to go back to the real world. No need for you to go to those long drive auditoriums and theater arts that will take you years to find a parking, with MSO in Makati you can listen to A-class music without worrying all the drama.
Rey Casey Concepcion – Senior Violinist
Lourdes Miguel – Solo Violinists
Kim Mirandilla Ng – Solo Violinist
Christian Tan – Solo Violinist
I've never thought I can enjoy this fine music, after all the pressure and piled-up things to do at work, the Manila Symphony Orchestra really gave me a feel good turn of events. As I watch them play and hear their music, finally I learned how to appreciate what classical music is all about and it's all about symphony and harmony which is a key to a divine sound.
So When in Manila, a Rush Hour concert is just the perfect bonding with your love one! A perfect city escape! And a way to get out of anxiety! Get a hold of one our country's youngest musicians to give you a musical experience that will never forget, right in the heart of the country's financial district.
Check their schedule for the next concerts here!

This Way is an alternative country band with members from across New England, but call Portland, Maine their home. Two parts Waylon, one part Whiskeytown and a dash of Steve Earle, This Way creates American roots music that feels at home on the front porch or the big stage.
Founding members Jay Basiner and Dave Patterson, began This Way as a rock band in Vermont, when both were enrolled at Saint Michaels College just outside of Burlington. After graduation, they both found themselves living in Maine. Beginning in 2005, members of This Way started cutting their teeth at bars and venues throughout Portland's famed Art District and Old Port. In the years to come they would continue crafting their own material and in late 2008, with a six-piece lineup that included electric guitars and keys, they released their anthematic rock debut, We Could All Make History, recorded and produced by Jon Wyman at Halo Studios and mastered by Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering.
In 2009, the band was nominated for Best New Act by the Portland Phoenix and named a Band to Watch by the Portland Press Herald. In the next year the band would tour the Northeast heavily, supporting their debut record. During this time they would also go through lineup changes, before the final additions of Andrew Martelle (fiddle/mandolin) and Charlie Sichterman (drums). Almost immediately they began working on new material and reworking songs from their debut album, giving them a more folksier feel.
They released their second album Goodbye Forever, recorded by Abel Adame at Acadia Recording Co. and mastered by Jeff Lipton at Peerless Mastering, in May of 2011. The album received wide regional acclaim which led to being named Best Roots Act of 2011 by The Portland Phoenix and more recently being nominated for Best Roots/Americana/Folk Act and Best Maine Act of the Year by the 2012 New England Music Awards. "Enter young pop-folk dynamos This Way, whose latest CD, colors soaring radio pop with rolling-hills accordion, harmonica and mandolin", says The Portland Press Herald of Goodbye Forever. The Bangor Daily News writes, "they bring to mind groups like the Avett Brothers, as well as the Beatles, though the flashes of fiddle and accordion feel far more like Willie Nelson, or even Lyle Lovett."
"Take It All (Or Leave It All Behind)", the first single off of Goodbye Forever, received airplay on various Maine radio stations including WMPG, WCLZ, WCYY and WBLM. The second single "New York City", also received airplay.
Since the release of Goodbye Forever, the band has been non-stop touring performing at venues, festivals, houses, city parks, piers, churches, camps, libraries, yards and colleges from Bangor, ME to Nashville, TN.
This Way went into the studio in late June of 2012 and recorded their third full length album over a three day span with Jon Nolan at Milltown Recording Co in Rollinsford, NH. In contrast to the recording of their last album Goodbye Forever, which was done in several locations around Maine taking over a year and half to fully record, the band decided to track their forthcoming album almost exclusively live, with few overdubs. Together Jon and the band co-produced, a ten song album immersed with the most cohesive material the band has created to date. Also included on the album are three bonus tracks, "Over the Hill", "Walking On the Moon" (a cover of The Police song) and a bluegrassy version of an unreleased folksier song Jay had written years ago called "The Fisherman". The bonus tracks are live staples of the band's sets over the past year and were placed on this album as a thank you to the fans that have come to shows and given unwaivering support.
The Story of Simon Pure was released in late September on iTunes, Amazon and Bandcamp, with physical copies available in all Bull Music stores in Maine and New Hampshire. The title track and first single off the album has been placed into regular rotation at WCLZ in Portland.
Beginning in January 2013, This Way members decided to move on and pursue their own artistic endeavors for the time being. Band members have agreed that this is just a hiatus and they will announce reunion shows every so often. In the meantime, Jay and Andrew will be utilizing a bulk of the This Way catalog, as they move forward with their "Two Man Outlaw Country Band" North of Nashville. North of Nashville just released their debut album 'Live at The Rack' on Feb. 5th, 2013, and will be performing their own material along with choice This Way songs as they aim to tour extensively for the rest of 2013.
Follow the links below for North of Nashville and we all look forward to seeing you all down the road!
This Way has shared the stage with G. Love and Special Sauce, Mason Jennings, Churchill, Chatham County Line, David Dondero, Enter the Haggis, Max Creek, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Kingsley Flood, Jacob Augustine, Adam Ezra Group, Reptar, Penguin Prison, The Mallett Brothers Band, Larry and his Flask, Audrey Ryan, Union Street Preservation Society, TAB the Band, Roosevelt Dime, among many other talented acts.

Australian cricket legend Allan Border has signed on to become a mentor with the Brisbane Heat for the upcoming Big Bash League.
The 59-year-old has previously limited his involvement to the boardroom, but under the new role would help with team selections and recruitment, work with individual players at training, travel with the squad and act as a match-day advisor.
The appointment, confirmed by the Heat today, also reunited Border with head coach Stuart Law - who captained the test great in the Bulls team that won Queensland's first ever Sheffield Shield title in 1994-1995.
With the 20-year anniversary of that victory coming up in March next year, Border said it was an exciting time to work with Law again.
''It would be nice to think we might be able to celebrate a BBL title together too when we all gather again to enjoy the Shield reunion,'' he said.
''I am very keen to be actively involved with a team again and hopefully I can help the coaching staff and the players nail some of the one-percenters that make the difference to a successful campaign.
''Unfortunately I didn't get to play T20 in my career but, as an administrator and a commentator, I've seen the BBL grow from its inception to the success it was last season.''
Border, who wound up his test career in 1994, has previously coached the Australian under-19s and Australia A teams, and was a national selector between 1998 and 2005. He was also director of Cricket Australian until 2009.
The Heat finished fifth last BBL season.

Blake Shelton recently resumed his role as a coach on NBC's hit show The Voice, and he has enlisted Meghan Trainor to be his new celebrity advisor.
Miranda Lambert is sporting new ink!
2015 Taste of Country Music Festival-goers won't just catch a fun show when Jerrod Niemann takes the stage, they'll also hear his incredible songwriting. The "Buzz Back Girl" singer is performing during the June 12-14 festival at Hunter Mountain in central New York.
The debate about if and when an artist should share their music on free streaming platforms like YouTube or Spotify is as simple as the philosophical "If a tree falls in the woods …" question. Your favorite artist may write and record the best country song ever, but if no one hears it, did he really?
Cody Wikline knows how it's done. The country hopeful got chairs turning during the Blind Auditions of The Voice on Monday night (Feb. 23) with a rendition of a George Jones classic.
A recently released clip of the upcoming season of The Voice shows Blake Shelton rocking out during a performance alongside the other three coaches.

Blake Shelton is one of the biggest names in country music, and thanks to his coaching position on NBC's 'The Voice,' the star has become a household name all across America. Even fellow coach Usher loves him, which he made evident by covering one of Shelton's hits recently.

From Our Editors
Among the oldest and longest-held single-family businesses in Kansas City, Pizza Shoppe began like many murder mysteries begin—during a dinner party on a dark and stormy night. Dick Ryan realized he was short on a key ingredient and decided to improvise, whipping up a pizza from what ingredients he had and baking it to a crispy crust. The first Pizza Shoppe pizza was born, with Dick's wife, Loreta, having the honor of the first bite. More than 45 years later, the pizzeria has expanded to 20 locations in four states, and its signature crispy crust has been topped by ever-bolder permutations of toppings. The Butcher Block emphasizes bacon and pork, while the BBQ Chicken accents its eponymous ingredients with pineapple, jalapeños, and cheddar cheese. Patrons can also paint their own dough-canvases with off-the-beaten-path ingredients that include corned beef, blue cheese crumbles, genoa salami, and dill pickles.

My son, Sloan Taylor 39, was last heard from Thursday, October 4, 2012. He never went to work the following day and failed to show up at his 8 year old son football game on Saturday. Numerous attempts were made to contact his phone but as of Saturday night the phone was no longer on. He has not shown up for work on Monday or Tuesday either. His neighbor that lives across the street from him, saw a woman driving Sloan's mini-van late Thursday afternoon. She drove into the driveway, got out and went into the house, then came back out and got into the vehicle and left the house. Sloan is 5'8", around 155lbs and Caucasian with med brown hair. If anyone has seen or heard from him please contact the Roseville Police Dept.

Say no to sexism: why funny women on stage, on television and online are the new feminist fightback
The late Christopher Hitchens may have thought that women aren't funny - but if he were alive he'd see the evidence disproving his theory multiplying by the day
I went to Edinburgh Fringe for the first time earlier this year. I'd been putting it off for years, somehow knowing that once bitten I'd be smitten and condemn myself to a lifetime of returning every single Summer, trying in vain to recapture that first heady experience.
I managed to go a good three days before I was bothered by that lazy but inevitable refrain: "I just don't find women very funny." We've all heard the sort of thing; women don't have any sense of comic timing; we cry if we get heckled; we're not genetically predisposed towards having a sense of humour (thanks for that one, Christopher Hitchens). Basically, we wouldn't see a punch-line coming if it bit us in the tit.
And I didn't fight back against the statement, even though she'd just insulted the two identities I hold closest to myself: being funny (though your mileage may vary on that one), and being a feminist. I didn't want to come across as poe-faced, or over-sensitive, or risk proving her right in some way. So I didn't fight back, even though I'd just sat through an hour of feminist poetry. I didn't fight back, even though I know that she is wrong.
I can list female comedians (or, as I exotically refer to them, comedians) like most people can list hot dinners. I can list them like the Wikipedia article on lists of lists of lists can list lists of lists. And yet still, women are notably absent from "high profile" comedy lineups. Only around 10% of contestants on Mock the Week are women; most regular team captains or presenters on comedy panel shows (Have I Got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Would I Lie to You, QI – the list goes on) are men.
If a woman does appear, it's usually only as a token effort; a line-up featuring more than one woman on the bill is practically unheard of. That is, if the one woman manages to get on in the first place. Stand-up comedian (and lady) Grainne Maguire recalls, "I remember getting booked for a gig and then getting a phone call back saying that since it was the first comedy night at the venue, they wanted to play it safe and didn't want any female comedians, so I was ditched." Classy stuff.
Which is why it's such a refreshing pleasure when these ridiculous views are held up and challenged. On Sunday night, I was lucky enough to join a theatre full of brilliant people doing just that, at the Stand Up to Sexism gig put on by Everyday Sexism and No More Page 3 to raise awareness about the pervasive, run-of-the-mill prejudice that women face every day. From Viv Groskop's rapping about women's issues as "Feminem", to Lucy Porter's promise to play a tune on her "little button-like organ" at the (ahem) climax of the show, one brilliantly funny woman after another (and a few lovely like-minded feminist men) took to the stage and proved that YES, actually, we can joke just as well and pun just as badly as the next man.
And there was something there that can often be lacking in the combative, "boy's club", heckle-filled world of the comedy club: a sense of camaraderie, of community. I laughed my head off, and at the end, I cried it back on again; proud, of what these women had come together to do. And sad, that they had had cause to.
There are increasing signs that more people are noticing and tackling these issues. Prominent pop-feminist blog The F-Word is currently seeking a volunteer comedy editor, explaining that "female comedians aren't given enough attention, and male comedians relying on tired stereotypes make a killing".
Hay Festival has just held "the first [festival] we've ever managed with more women onstage than men", at the Bangla Academy in Dhaka, and there a growing number of feminist-orientated comedy nights showcasing female talent. Comedy for Choice, for example, which was held last week to raise money for pro-choice campaign groups, and What the Frock! from Bristol, which put on a showcase at this year's Feminist Summer School, are part of a growing number of comedy nights showcasing female talent.
The success of these sell-out nights shows a more than healthy appetite for more diversity in comedy, which is something that hopefully the big-name panel shows and comedy clubs will begin to pay attention to. If not, we'll keep making our own fun in our own spaces until they do.
And remember: the best response the next time a man says that he "just doesn't think women are very funny" is to smack him in the genitals whilst yelling "SLAPSTICK!!! SLAPSTICK!!!"

Russia: Are visa policies becoming easier?
German Magazine Spiegel reports that Russia and Poland now allows visa-free travel for residents within 50 km of the Kaliningrad border. While this policy change only currently affects our Cheapos in Gdansk (Cze??, czytelnicy!), the hope is that moves such as this, which "Kremlin officials are viewing … as a first step toward a complete elimination of the visa requirement," will mean that complicated travel preparations for Schengen Zone passport holders and Russians will soon be a thing of the past.
Americans shouldn't feel left out, however. In the middle of July, the United States and Russia announced an agreement easing visa requirements for their citizens. The new "default" visa for both countries will be a three-year multiple-entry visa granting stays for up to six months at a time. While the official statement argues that formal invitation requirements for Russia will be eliminated, it also states that "applicants seeking Russian tourist visas will continue to require advance lodging reservations and arrangements with a tour operator."
The former announcement is a huge improvement for regular travelers between the two countries, but it remains to be seen how the latter will play out in reality. This change will take effect within the next few months, after both countries have finished necessary preparations.
The question remains: Are these first steps toward a radical change of Russian visa policy for the upcoming 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics? Dare the Slavophiles in the crowd dream of an end to draconian visa regulations? Tell us what you think!

Millennium bug 'could end bull run'
Edward Yardeni, chief economist of Deutsche Bank Securities in the US, told participants at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that a build-up of negative news on the year 2000 problem might cause stock markets to dive.
Separately, Scott McNealy, chief executive of Sun Microsystems, said that Asian companies making PCs and computer components lagged the US and Europe by several years in dealing with the bug.
Advising consumers to "buy lots of computers in the second half of this year," he warned of severe supply problems after the turn of the century.
"We believe Asia is way, way behind," Mr McNealy said at the WEF annual meeting. "Intel, Sun and Hewlett Packard have done quite similar surveys of their supply base in Asia and they confirm the region is significantly behind in dealing with the problem."
However, the effects of the bug were played down by Bill Gates, head of Microsoft, who said he thought the problem had been much exaggerated by the press. There were bound to be some problems, he conceded, but he did not foresee a general systemic breakdown.
Mr Yardeni predicted a build-up of bad news on the bug from June onwards as companies began to make their SEC filings on whether they were millennium bug compliant.
"There are already 34 millennium bug lawsuits outstanding in the US and we'll see a lot more of that," he said.
Mr Yardeni said he thought the present euphoria in Internet stocks was symptomatic of "one of the greatest speculative bubbles on Wall Street of all time".
"If the stock market dives, which I think it will do in the second half of this year, then it will take the US consumer and economy with it," he warned.
"I don't know when exactly it will top, but I have no problem at all with lightening up and taking profits right now," he added.
A number of executives from the computer and Internet industries said that they thought the frenzy in Internet stocks was casting a cloud over legitimate high-growth companies that were transforming the way business was conducted across big tracts of the economy.
"The stock prices are unbelievable," said one industry leader, "but so are the growth rates in electronic commerce."
Mr McNealy used a press conference at the WEF to launch a new attack on Microsoft's near monopoly of personal computer operating systems.
He claimed that Microsoft was using the monopoly to "leverage" itself into all kinds of other businesses in a way that was stifling innovation and development in the industry.
He was sceptical that the various break up remedies proposed - splitting Microsoft into three competing companies or separating its operating system and applications arms - would correct the problem.

"She first denied it and accused me of being insane before I faced her with the films…she then confessed to be still in love with her boyfriend, saying he is as young as her and that I am an old man."
It is not known if Ramadan has filed for divorce, but the website reported him as saying he had been happy during their 16-year marriage.

Jamie Carragher predicts more Liverpool signings
Liverpool vice-captain Jamie Carragher believes the club's transfer activity is set to pick up and expects to see more young talent arrive at Anfield in the coming weeks.
So far Kenny Dalglish has brought in England Under-21 midfielder Jordan Henderson from Sunderland.
But having seen Ipswich target Connor Wickham join the Black Cats and Arsenal full-back Gael Clichy apparently set for a move to Manchester City - coupled with arch-rivals Manchester United spending £50million-plus on Phil Jones, Ashley Young and David De Gea - there was a growing feeling among fans that the club were falling behind in the transfer market.
However, Carragher is unconcerned and backed the club's hierarchy, with owners Fenway Sports Group making it clear to director of football Damien Comolli they want to get more value for money from their signings, to bring in the right players.
"It's still very early and I didn't expect too much to happen on the transfer front before now," he told the Liverpool Echo.
"Over the summer players, managers, chief executives and owners are all away on holiday.
"It's only the start of July and with pre-season getting going next week I'm sure things will soon start moving.
"You often find that one deal sets it off and everything happens from there.
"I'm sure it will kick off over the next few weeks and hopefully we'll get a couple more new faces in.
"The club now has a policy of focusing attention on young players and I think that's the right way for clubs to go.
"You want to develop a team and have players at the club for a long time. I think that approach will really benefit us.
"Things don't always work out, but it's much easier to move on a younger player who still has a decent sell-on value than someone in their 30s."
Carragher pointed to the acquisition of Henderson as an example.
"Jordan is a great signing. I know one of the coaches at Sunderland who rates Jordan very highly," he added.
"He had a great season with Sunderland and we're fortunate to have got him. I think he will add real energy to our midfield."

Unmet need has become "the elephant in the room" and Canterbury's health sector is calling for the Government to start measuring it.
An article in this month's edition of the New Zealand Medical Journal labels the nation's "substantial, undocumented unmet healthcare needs" as alarmingly high.
The article, co-authored by 10 health experts, calls for a "systematic, objective documentation of unmet healthcare needs throughout New Zealand".
Unmet need has been in the spotlight recently, with The Press last week reporting that the Government was distorting elective surgery waiting lists to conceal thousands of patients who would benefit from an operation, but do not qualify for the public system.
Government figures show more elective surgeries are being done than ever before and Health Minister Tony Ryall said this would be addressing unmet need, yet surgeons claim the increase is not coming close to matching the demand.
Dr Phil Bagshaw, one of the authors of the NZMJ article, said it was time to resolve this debate.
"There is no question that the public system is doing more surgeries, but the question is how big is the unmet need?" he said.
"There are a lot of arguments going on about this and I think it's time to resolve them . . . It's time that it was measured properly."
New Zealand needs an independent, scientifically robust system to do so, he said.
Christchurch Hospital intensive care specialist Dr Geoff Shaw agreed and said unmet need was now "the elephant in the room".
"The Government is avoiding having the public debate on unmet need and because we don't know how bad the problem is, we are not going to be able to address it."
"The Ministry of Health is saying that we are doing fantastic things and that we are doing more surgeries, but at the same time we have surgeons saying we have unmet need. What we have to do is let the people of New Zealand know the truth," he said.
Shaw said unmet need was a "euphemism for suffering".
"We need a suffering index to show the public just how much people are suffering," he said.
The journal article, titled The Canterbury Charity Hospital: An Update and Effects of the Earthquakes, also reviewed the role the CCH played in the region's health sector since the quakes.
The CCH was established in 2004 to address unmet healthcare needs and provide free treatment to patients turned down from the public system.
So far this year, it has completed 1258 procedures. Last year, it completed 1023.
The CCH only has limited services available to those who can be treated as day patients and the number of surgeries it performs represented only a fraction of unmet healthcare in the region, the article said.
Linda Dorris is a "tough old nut" with a dodgy knee.
The 70-year-old has been hobbling around her North Canterbury lifestyle block in "excruciating pain" ever since she was headbutted in the knee by a ram.
When Dorris opened a letter from the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) that said she was not in enough pain to qualify for publicly-funded surgery, she uncharacteristically started to cry.
'I couldn't believe it and I actually sat outside on the chair and I cried, but don't worry, I didn't let anyone see me," she said.
Last August, the ram broke her ankle and damaged the soft tissue in her knee.
She underwent physiotherapy and when the pain became unbearable, her GP sent her to the public system.
Dorris went through a physio assessment in March and waited until August to see an orthopaedic surgeon, who gave her an injection to temporarily relieve the pressure in her knee and told her she needed an operation.
She received a preparation for surgery letter from the CDHB on August 26.
A month later she opened another letter from the CDHB that read: "We regret that we are not able to offer you this procedure".
She was referred back to her GP and has since returned to her orthopaedic surgeon, who told her she is now classified as "urgent".
The pain wakes Dorris every night.

My friend and I stayed here from a Sunday-Tuesday to attend a concert at the Palace of Fine Arts. It was the perfect location for us, as we could walk to both the concert venue and the Presidio (Walt Disney Family Museum) in a matter of 15-20 minutes. We did not rent a car, so this was important to us. The room was small but clean, but the beds were large and very comfy. Very narrow room in between the bed and the bathroom, as well as the TV table. But it didn't bother us too much. WiFi was dependable & free, except for the last day we stayed, where there was an outage when we wanted to print up airport boarding passes. Most likely was a provider issue, so I don't blame the motel.
The hotel was within walking distance to some amazing restaurants on Chestnut Street, including Blackwood, an Asian fusion restaurant which surprisingly has amazing brunch fare, including "Millionaire's Bacon." (Just order it. So dang good!) We also enjoyed a French bakery called La PanotiQ (best croissants).
Finally, what other reviewers said are true - the front desk employees were super friendly, helpful, and chatty. Despite the very basic free continental breakfast (not inspiring, but it's free!), we would stay here again in a heartbeat. If you are on a budget in SF, this is the place to stay.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- All of our Rooms feature: Free Reliable High Speed Wireless Internet Access, Refrigerator, New Flat Screen LCD TV with Cable and HBO, Alarm Clock with MP3 Player, In-room Coffee, Hairdryer, and free access to a business center with a printer from 7AM to 7PM. We are pet friendly, $20/Pet/Day cleaning fee. We are a 100% non smoking, AAA approved hotel with free limited parking. The Palace of Fine Arts and Exploratorium are just four block's walk away. Our location is especially good for touring the city while remaining quiet. We are near 5 bus lines which can transport you all over the city. The staff here was either born in the city or has lived her long enough to help you navigate the well and not so well known parts of San Francisco. ... more less

Regional Premiere
The Archbishop's Ceiling
By Arthur Miller, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Death of a Salesman
Directed by Brett Aune
Espionage and the Cold-War politics of the 1970s come into play in this riveting drama. The setting, an ornate room in a former Archbishop's Eastern European palace, is probably bugged by the secret police. Sigmund, a writer, has embarrassed the current regime. With his career in jeopardy, he is faced with the choice of staying on in an attempt to rebuild trust, or defecting to the West. He is encouraged to leave the country by one friend who is an ex-political prisoner, and another who is a visiting American. The situation is further complicated by a woman, the mistress of all three. The complexity of their relationships, and the uncertainty that what they say may be overheard, makes for a rich and deeply intriguing play.

TheWrap has blown the lid off the crumbling of one of Hollywood's most successful — and lucrative — working friendships.
Mark Wahlberg and David O. Russell have collaborated for years.
More importantly, they've taken care of each other; Russell cast Wahlberg in his films when nobody thought he could act, and Wahlberg tapped Russell for "The Fighter," which would prove to be a pinnacle achievement in both careers.
But one of the hottest projects in the Hollywood pipeline may have ended their relationship for good.
Stars have been clamoring to book a role in Russell's "The Silver Linings Playbook" — and Wahlberg was supposed to play the central character.
Then Russell chose Bradley Cooper over Wahlberg — and Wahlberg hit the roof.
The key to the decision: money, of course. Cooper's per-picture rate is less than Wahlberg's.
Plus, according to the story, Wahlberg's contract stipulated that he receive $900,000 if Anne Hathaway, who was formerly attached to co-star, didn't end up in the project.
That kind of fee is meant to protect Wahlberg against the presumed box office disadvantage of not having the A-list lady in the role. But still, $900,000? Just for him? Come on.
Hathaway did drop out in the end, so Cooper looked even cheaper — and better.
In a way, this is all Anne Hathaway's fault.
