New York Yankees: Pitching Coach Larry Rothschild And The AJ Burnett Test
Immediately following the World Series, the New York Yankees announced the termination of pitching coach Dave Eliand, which came as no surprise.
There were many guessing games of who might be Eiland's replacement. The front-runners looked to be current bullpen coach Mike Harkey; Rick Kranitz, who has worked with Yankees skipper Joe Girardi before; and Scott Aldred, who currently serves the role in Triple-A Scranton for the last two seasons.
Fans were suggesting that David Cone, Al Leiter or Mike Mussina might bring their experience on the mound to the other side. Since none of the three have ever coached, the likelihood was slim.
Then the decision was announced that Chicago Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild was now bringing his talents to the Yankees.
It was a tad confusing because minimal interest had been expressed about Rothschild coming to the Bronx, as the Cubs had him signed through 2011.
The Cubs let Rothschild out of his contract stating that Rothschild wanted to spend more time near his Tampa, FL home. Since the Yankees train in Tampa, this move for Rothschild was exactly what he was looking to make.
No doubt Yankee fans should be elated to get Rothschild, who comes with 36-years of professional baseball experience and also coached Girardi as a player in Chicago back in 2002.
Rothschild has a reputation of being a noteworthy communicator, who does his homework but continually does the extra-credit. A lot of the qualities that Girardi brings as a manager, so Rothschild should fit perfectly on the staff.
As part of the interview process, Rothschild had to analyze video on AJ Burnett and give in detail how he would fix the Yankees pitching staff's black sheep.
Considering Rothschild had just finished his eighth year helping the Cubs, last season's correlation of hotheaded and unpredictable Carlos Zambrano might have helped in his answers.
Rothschild also made it clear that his motto is "repeat deliveries," as it leads to better location and control. Well, lucky for Rothschild that Burnett is the poster child for disaster on the mound and his theories will be tested from every situation.
This move is a positive one for the Yankees, as obviously Eiland was having off-the-field issues that were more important and distracted him from doing his job.
Rothschild has coached twice on World Series Championship teams in 1990 for the Cincinnati Reds and in 1997 for the Florida Marlins. This definitely played a factor for the Yankees, who like guys who have been to the big stage and had success on it.
In his first day in pinstripes, Rothschild called each pitcher to schedule training dates prior to the start of 2011 Spring Training.
Hey, nothing feels better than hiring a real go-getter. It would seem that Rothschild wasn't going to waste a minute.
Trust me, Rothschild has his work cut out for him with Burnett alone.
Without a doubt, all we know is that Rothschild knows how to win, and that is what Yankee Universe likes to hear.

New York Yankees: Trying To Digest This Derek Jeter Mess
New York Yankee pinstripes are the only uniform Derek Jeter has worn in his professional baseball career.
Over his 16 seasons in those pinstripes, Jeter maintained the shortstop position and for the last 11 years has been the team's Captain.
Jeter all-around made it easy to forget that he is actually human, but reality kicked in this past season—not surprising, considering he is 36 plus years old.
Coming to Jeter's defense, it was just one bad season and it followed a career best in 2009.
In most situations, a person would inevitably get the benefit of the doubt, except in professional sports, due to the high demands it entails physically.
Contracts and salaries are impacted by age, which makes sense in view of the physical demands of the job.
Jeter is special to the Yankees organization, without question. He is a natural leader whose presence alone demands respect. Jeter's humble demeanor is unique for a man with his status and successes.
His legacy is not and never will be in question.
So, the timing of Jeter's Yankee contract expiring is not ideal. Where do you draw the line between what Jeter has done and what his future beholds on the baseball field?
The answer is you acknowledge both: Jeter's significance in the past is grand enough that it should be reflected with his new contract, but so does his wear and tear.
The Yankees know this, and the organization acted accordingly.
GM Brian Cashman, along with Owner Hal Steinbrenner and President Randy Levine offered Jeter a three-year contract with a base salary of $21 million dollars per season.
To say that offer is fair would be an understatement.
Three more years are all the risk the Yankees should take, unless Jeter shows them otherwise at age 40.
The $21 million a season is above and beyond Jeter's current value, but it exhibits the organizations gratitude and respect for Jeter the person.
It is not my place to guess what Jeter is thinking or what is behind his reasoning of not accepting this contract.
Yankee fans want the Captain back, as clearly does the organization.
For the first time, I am questioning whether Jeter wants to continue wearing his pinstripes and at what cost.
Let me make it clear, this is something I never thought or wanted to doubt.

NFL: Brett Favre's Privates Are Part of the Commissioner's Conduct Policy
The NFL's Personal Conduct Policy gives Commissioner Roger Goodell the right to suspend players for making bad decisions that reflect on the game.
The policy defines this behavior as, "conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the National Football League."
Commissioner Goodell's line between acceptable or non-punishable to suspension seems very gray. What off-the-field manners does Goodell consider tolerable enough too not embarrass the NFL's character?
The reason for my confusion is the hush-hush approach Goodell is taking regarding the Brett Favre situation. Enough time has certainly passed now; in view of all parties have been interviewed and it has been weeks now.
ESPN has been abnormally silent; instead of broaching the subject with there normal over-dramatizing, invasive and annoyingly repeating the same subject tactics. Everyone knows how obsessed the network is with Brett Favre.
Favre is having the worst season of his career, the Vikings look awful overall but the QB still manages to get the abundant of Sports Center's attention. This juicy subject has been kept to a dull roar, so viewers are subjected to Favre's weekly injury and post-loss press conference hourly.
Goodell was a bat out of hell when it came to Ben Roethlisberger's touchy behavior that the authorities couldn't rally enough evidence to prosecute, but Goodell suspended him for six games. Than at the season's start dropped Big Ben's grounding-time down to four games.
Why is Brett Favre's behavior less detrimental than Roethlisberger's antics?
Favre is married, harassed fellow employees, as two other New York Jets staffers have come forward about Favre's sexual advances and one of the two is married.
Incessant inappropriate voice-mails, texts messages and pictures of his penis are pretty inappropriate if you ask me. Don't you dare think this is all Favre is guilty of because what about the women who responded. It is inevitable that some did, especially in heavily populates and celebrity obsessed NYC.
Favre is a husband, a father, and a grandfather and is much older than Roethlisberger. Big Ben seems to have changed himself around, but he never craved the spotlight like Favre. Not many athletes do, as Favre acts like he is the teacher's only student in the classroom.
For a player I once highly respected and admired, Favre is now damaged goods that walk around like he is a god-like, when all he gives a crap about is his consecutive games started record.
Favre is not a team player; actually he is everything wrong with sports today.
In essence it's better for fans to see his true colors, instead of being blinded by the bullshit of Brett Favre.
The NFL, Wrangler and ESPN all seem to support Brett's behavior, as nothing has been done of the contrary.
What's ironic is that Favre has done more harm than Vick, Roethlisberger and Plexico combined by not taking full responsibility for his actions and being still allowed to play without question is a major contributor, so the NFL should at least acknowledge this situation.
Commissioner Goodell watched MLB fall hard for being wishy-washy; the NFL is heading right down the same path.
The window for the NFL to make Favre accountable is still cracked. Goodell should suspend him for a game or two so Favre loses his precious record.
I have still not encountered one football fan that respects Favre anymore. The common theme of the responses I have heard is they just want Brett Favre to go away.

New York Giants: Get Back To Being Best Team in NFL Again for Week 11 or Else
The 2010 New York Giants have been pretty on-target with the rest of the NFL's motto, which is completely unpredictable.
There is no leader of the pack as we enter the second half of the season. Never have more teams been named the best team in the NFL this season on ESPN after 10 games.
This is not due to an influx of sheer talent, but more due too penalties and sloppy play.
It seems like each team has a major flaw somewhere, and too many players just don't seem to understand the definition of team anymore.
Now that my ulcer has subsided after watching the Giants host the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday, I can admit that the outcome came as no surprise.
The Giants went into Sunday on a five-game winning streak, but the G-men started the season 1-2 and the one win was one of the sloppiest games I had seen.
The Cowboys record was an NFL worst at 1-7 before week 10. Add that to another Tony Romo injury, and a team of players who actually admitted they didn't try.
Just thinking about how bad in it was Dallas made me sweat thinking of how pissed-off stanch owner Jerry Jones had to be, while having flashes if it were my New York Yankees not trying and the heads that would be rolling.
Jones finally fired coach Wade Phillips, promoting offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, who, it has been said, could run for president and win if he wanted to.
Then days before Sunday I look at the point spreads, which was obviously in favor of the Giants but by 15 points.
That spread seemed ridiculous if you consider the talented slackers on the Cowboys, a new motivated leader in Garrett and a team with nothing to lose.
The spread of the 2007 Super Bowl only gave the Giants 12 points against the undefeated, super-power New England Patriots.
This shocked my confidence, along with hearing the next day: "We're now the best team in the National Football League," out of Brandon Jacobs' mouth.
The formula didn't look to be in the Giants favor, as a cocky attitude and with a spread backing that notion up has never worked for the G-men.
The Giants are the best underdogs in football. Hopefully the embarrassing 33-20 thrashing they got from the Cowboys will put the Giants back to feeling that reality again.
The Giants are a darn good football team, and Sunday's loss also was due to Eli having one of his seasonal off-games.
Manning has one to three of these games a season, where he can't hit the slot and the receivers start to run the routes differently to compensate as the game gets deeper. But the defense sucked too.
Even with the Cowboys being hyped up, the Giants are a better team.
When a team consistently wins for five games in a row, the way the G-men did, one stomach-churning loss can be hailed as a bad day.
The Giants will surely be tested in Week 11 visiting the Philadelphia Eagles.
If you missed Monday Night Football this week, get on NFL.com and watch the replays or the whole first half of the Eagles playing Washington Redskins.
It is one of the best performances by a quarterback ever, thanks to the Eagles' Michael Vick. Scoring 45 points in the first half was all due to Vick, and if this guy keeps getting better, I do not know anyone who can stop him.
Considering Vick outplayed the entire Redskins team himself, it will take the best team in the NFL to beat him.
What perfect timing for the Giants to prove themselves worthy of that title again.

MLB Hot Stove: Carl Pavano to the New York Yankees Only If He Pays
This player's name is the last one any New York Yankee player or fan wants to hear: Carl Pavano, also known in the Bronx as the "American Idle."
Let me put it this way, for those of you who thought Javier Vazquez was disliked in the Bronx, Pavano makes Vazquez the Yankees prom-king.
Truth remains that Pavano is the next free agent considered to be worthwhile behind Cliff Lee, for at least 29 MLB teams.
Here is my warning…PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
Most Yankees fans never saw Pavano on the mound. That is because he only pitched 26 games, with injuries all the way from his shoulder to his buttocks. Pavano had record of 9-8 while in pinstripes, so his option for a fourth year was never going to happen.
Pavano's three years in the Yankees rotation turned into more like $39.95 million vacation.
Pavano left New York with the impression of a slacker, as ironically the minute he was out of Yankees uniform he preformed well again and injury-free.
In 2009, Pavano made 33 starts, 21 games as a Cleveland Indiana and 12 as a Minnesota Twin. Pavano threw 200 innings in total, 50 more innings than his three-year total in the Bronx. Pavano threw one shutout and one complete game in 2009, to go along with his 147 strikeouts.
To go from zero to hero in one offseason is all the proof that was needed.
This past season Pavano was the Twins ace, finishing with a 17-11 record, over 221 innings, striking out 117 batters and an ERA of 3.75. He spent a total of zero days on the DL for the second season in a row. Pavano also was named the Twins pitcher of the year for 2010.
Nothing is more cowardly than not trying, taking the easy way out. Pavano might be a rich man, but one who can't walk around publicly in New York City. At least I would not advise it, nor would he want to run into me.
Whether or not Pavano says his elbow, shoulder, knee, ribs and ass injuries were all real became irrelevant by his actions. They told another story, of a pitcher Yankee fans never knew, and it happened in too short a time considering the extent of this man's injuries.
Hopefully, Pavano is a changed athlete because of the weak market sans Lee he is sure to go for a much higher price in this offseason market.
At least I know one fact, Carl Pavano won't be an overpaid Yankee and that is a sentence rarely said about any player and the Bronx Bombers.
More of a reason—Yankees better offer Cliff Lee the moon, sun and Pavano's ass to get him in pinstripes.
GM Brain Cashman says the Yankees don't need Lee. I agree, it's much more desperate than that, the Yankees will bleed Lee if necessary.

Thank you Melanie.
I pew for the fun of it.I don't have a "win at all costs" mentality. That's probably why I'll never be a top tier PVPer. I appreciate all the other PVPers who play to have fun, & don't take the game so seriously that it stops being fun to play.
There's been a lot of drama in the PVP community lately. This causes me to haz a sad.
We do play this game to have fun, amiright?
Competition is fine, but is there really any need for animosity in a video game?
See you all in glorious battle.

companion way doors
I put nice companionway doors on my C36 and I love them. At first I thought I would only use them in at dock or what have you, but I have left them on virtually all the time. The light that they bring in and the ease of opening and closing due to inclimate weather is a godsend. They align very well even though they are fairly long. They are very nicely custom made hatches , albeit, not cheap.
Take a look they are at http://www.cruisingconcepts.com/Codoor.htm
I have left them on even when sailing in 10-12 foot seas. No I wouldn''t want to fall against them, I really don''t think they''d hold up that well and would most likely turn to tinder if I did.
But another nice feauture of these doors is that they can lift off and you can still use the original drop in hatches. If it got *really* snotty, I would put the drop in slides, but in the 2 years I''ve owned the doors I have yet to put the drop in slide back.
As far as safety goes. If anyone really wants to break into a boat with drop in slides, all they need is a bolt cutter. I would argue its not much harder to break into any boat when a thief wants something.

You don't use the wifi hotspot and connect by USB. It's one or the other. The wifi hotspot will drain the phone battery. USB maybe best. With a Samusng it is done through the software on the PC/laptop not sure about the HTC.

Do not get Hot spot Connection mixed up with Web'n'Walk. You are tethered to a Hot Spot like McDonald's. This would work Direct to the Netbook WiFi no need for HTC
PS I think you on about using a Cell phone as a Modem on the Netbook, when out and about. Very Expensive

It uses your data allowance not your phone time. Data allowance can get expensive especially out of UK.
Wifi hot spot on your android phone allows it to be like a wireless router which other devices can link to and get internet etc.
USB tethering is the way I do it.

A great little stove
I bought mine in 1970 for less than $7.00. Have used it for no less than several hundred nights of backpacking. Also have an Optimus Model 80 of similar design. Only problem ever was a need to replace the gasket in the fuel cap. Truly the most reliable piece of backpacking equipment I have ever owned!

Great on all countsPosted Mar 23, 2015
Location: Talk a quick early walk to Dottie's for a breakfast experience unlike any other–including interesting decor & a menu with fabulous homemade jams.
Great hotel, staff, location to all that we wanted to do in San Francisco for the holidays. Transportation and walkable options are easy from Parc 55 and we've always had great city views from our room. Nice amenities and adjacent to Bart makes this a winner for us each time.

Nice Hotel close to many attractions.Posted Mar 23, 2015
The Hotel was very nice and staff was very knowledgeable about the area and attractions all around San Francisco. The staff was very courteous. Be advised that the while the hotel is nice and in the middle of everything there are many homeless people in the area of the hotel. The only thing I did not like was the expensive parking. I find a garage about 4 blocks away that was about 35 dollars cheaper a day.

Excellent Service!Posted Jun 29, 2013
We blindly made a reservation for San Francisco, hoping for the best. We were happy with the room, the service and the location. The only thing for those that don't know about San Francisco is it is sort of close to the area called The Tenderloin. There are a lot of homeless people in the area. That is not the fault of the hotel, just a notice. LOVED this place!

Great Service & Perfect Location!Posted Jun 14, 2013
My husband came here for the Apple Conference 2013. Our girls and I tagged along for his business trip. We've stayed in the city before at another hotel but this hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely friendly from the bell station, the hotel manager, to the housekeeping. Our room had the best view overlooking the city on the top floor. The location is centrally located to the conference center, Westfield Mall, Union Square, Chinatown, cable cars, and BART station. We definitely weren't bored. This modern looking hotel certainly made our visit so pleasant and relaxing. We'd definitely come back here again.

Glad we made a good choice to stay at Parc 55. It was very close to Union Square, easy to get taxis, and shopping.

Perfect for a getaway to the cityPosted Feb 15, 2013
I got a great deal via promotion. However, even without the promotion, the un-discounted price is still reasonable, considering its location in SF. As you can see on the map, it's close to almost everything, shopping center, cable car, BART and muni, etc, in walking distance. The staff at the reception desk was very friendly and accommodated my desire of quite rooms when I checked in. A beautiful and contemporary lobby gave a neat and refreshing spirit. However, inevitably due to the location and history, the room does show its aging, yet well maintained. Watch out some neighborhood if you are a night owl. The city has its dark side (irrelevant to the hotel).
Recommendedby Otavalofrom San Jose, CA, USA
Despite the line at check in, the hotel was very nice.Posted Jan 31, 2013
Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
We had a line of 10 people when we arrived to check in on a Saturday afternoon. They accomodated our specific room location request nicely, and the room was lovely. Watch out when you leave the hotel. Walk in the wrong direction and you wind up in the tenderloin section of the city - rough stuff.

What's required? As of September 1, 2008 , all private and public concrete field testing in Massachusetts must be performed by licensed Concrete Field Testing Technicians - Grade 1 as issued by the American Concrete Institute (ACI).
What happens to current Class A licenses issued by the Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS)?
- BBRS Class A licenses will remain valid until their expiration date.
- Once a BBRS license expires, the technician must take and pass the ACI Grade 1 exam to remain licensed for work in Massachusetts. All new technician candidates must pass the ACI exam as the former Massachusetts Construction Industry Board (MCIB) Class A license is no longer offered or recognized by the BBRS.
How do I get an ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade 1 license? To get a Grade-1 license you must pass an exam administered by ACI through their Local Sponsoring Group - the Northern New England Concrete Promotion Associates . As of September 1, 2014 their website is down but you can contact the Director, Phil Nunley at 888-875-3232 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also try to google them to see if the website has been restored and, if so, drill down on their site to find the latest dates and locations for testing. The registration form is on the second page. If you have difficulty with the information provided, telephone contact information is provided at the bottom of the first page.
What happens after I take the exam? Upon successful test completion, ACI will issue a license to you directly. Please note that you must re-take and pass the ACI exam every five years to remain certified. We suggest you apply for the exam well in advance of your license expiration date.
Contact Don Finocchio at BBRS (617-727-3200, x-25206) if you have any questions.

Green wooden houses on stilts
Marken is at sea level so the original inhabitants built their houses on man-made hills called 'werven' (werfs).

A new study has shown that poor sleep quality without any depression is linked with increased suicide risk in older adults.
The research conducted by the Stanford University School of Medicine, California demonstrated that those individuals who reported poorer sleep quality at baseline had a 1.4 times increased risk for suicide.
Rebecca A. Bernert, Ph.D., of the Stanford University School of Medicine, California said that they suggested that poor subjective sleep quality may therefore represent a useful screening tool and a novel therapeutic target for suicide prevention in late life.
Two sleep factors in particular i.e. difficulty falling asleep and nonrestorative sleep were associated with increased suicide risk.

Another five-disc box of Rollins from almost exactly the same period, The Complete Blue Note Recordings, is on balance a better purchase. But the shrewdest strategy for noncompletists would be to cherry-pick the best records from both: Way Out West, Freedom Suite, Newk's Time and A Night at the Village Vanguard. While you're at it, pick up the mesmerizing G-Man live CD from 1986, or pick up a ticket when Rollins comes to town in 2001. If Rollins can't quite back up his claim, alluded to in Open Sky, that he is getting better every day, it's only because his septuagenarian tsunamis don't land with quite the same force as the best tracks on The Freelance Years.

Creative Imitation: New Essays on Renaissance Literature in Honor of Thomas M. Greene.
The essays are grouped under three headings: humanism, rhetoric, and imitation; gender and writing; and history, selfhood, and Shakespeare. In the first section, Dennis Costa gives a closely observed account of the "cooperation" between domestic and divine economy presented by Erasmus in his Convivium religiosum, while Wayne Rebhorn examines how discourses of rhetoric, ruling and trickery overlap in texts ranging from contemporary rhetoric manuals to 1 Henry IV. In a study of Bacon's Nicomachean Ethics, Joshua Scodel examines how Bacon both adheres "in traditional fashion" to the Aristotelian notion of the mean "in order to preserve social and political order," and adopts "a more radical position" when considering "men as individuals capable of choosing their own goals and transcending ascribed sociopolitical roles" (90). Victoria Kahn's study of Paradise Lost focuses upon the Sin and Death episode in book 2 which, argues Kahn, dramatizes the "theological indifference" of rhetorical figures - an indifference which "is a matter of utmost consequence for the rest of the poem" (128). William Kennedy's stimulating study of Maurice Sceve's Delie (1544), alongside contemporary commentators on the Canzoniere, offers a fresh perspective upon the reception of Petrarch in the sixteenth century. Combining close readings of the "dynamic flux and unstable transit of Sceve's language" (72) with a fascinating account of Sceve's quest to find Laura's tomb at Avignon, Kennedy suggests how Sceve's poetry "contests every understanding of Petrarch" encoded in contemporary commentaries; in so doing, Sceve both suggests the "new and emergently modern possibilities of rewriting Petrarchan discourse" (88) and marks his "contribution to the new formative ideology of French nationalism" (76-77).
On the issue of "gender and writing," Margaret Ferguson examines "how ideologies of gender, in conjunction with ideologies of class" affect the construction of the author in Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron, Boccaccio's Decameron and Castiglione's Il Cortegiano; likewise Nancy E. Wright suggests how "the reception history and criticism of Margaret Roper's writings illustrate the complex relation between women's discourse and dominant male discourse in early modern England" (239). Carla Freccero explores how Il Cortegiano "subverts the power structure that suppresses it by means of a 'hypocritical' rhetoric of self-censorship," in particular by addressing "the question of the courtier's relation to tyranny" through "means of a discourse on domination, not of the courtier by the prince, but of women by men" (268). Especially thought-provoking is Susanne L. Wofford's imaginative interdisciplinary study of "symbolic rape" in the misogynistic novella of Nastagio degli Onesti in the Decameron, later used by Botticelli in panel paintings for a nuptial chamber. Here Wofford explores "the idea that a wedding entertainment or gift might include the representation of scenes of violence against women" (194); in turn, Wofford considers how the "very different closural strategies" of Boccaccio and Botticelli in their versions of the story "present different interpretive options" to the male and female "reader" of both texts (235).
The final section is prefaced by George W. Pigman's lively study of psychoanalytic approaches to early modern culture in terms of exemplarity - both Renaissance and modern. Pigman's attention to the construction and communication of identity is continued by Barry Weller in his study of the problematic "shaping, or reshaping, of identity" in The Taming of the Shrew and its Ovidian sub-texts. Patricia Parker adopts an original approach to Ali's Well That Ends Well, studying the play under the heading of "increase" in both sexual and other senses to expose the "unnoticed links" between the "verbal, hermeneutic and familial," and the ways in which All's Well has come to be regarded as a "problem" play (357). Constance Jordan offers a thoughtful and lucid reading of contemporary notions of "property" and their relation to propriety in Pericles, suggesting that in the "doubly charged" arena of Jacobean political and personal life - especially in terms of the royal family - the play "acquires meaning as political theater" (332). Finally David Quint makes a study of "two kinds of aristocratic boasters, the old magnate and the new courtier - and of the biases of social formation that lie behind them" (401) - concentrating on the figures of Shakespeare's Hotspur and Spenser's Braggadoccio.
While intertextuality is an issue raised by many of the essays, the guiding theme of "creative imitation" is not always made clear. Arguably this lack of focus is underlined by the wide range of material from different countries and periods covered by the volume; yet this sense of contrast also allows for connections to be made between different Renaissance literary cultures. In fact the "remarkably diverse group" of contributors and interests is acknowledged by the volume's editors - "we differ considerably among ourselves and also from Thomas Greene" - a difference which is perhaps both a weakness and strength of the volume. At the very least, Creative Imitation offers diverse studies of the textual relationships in Renaissance literature, and includes several strong and original essays which merit attention in their own right.

Das Racist - Speakin' in Tungs [Freestyle]
Artist: Das Racist
Producer: Puma n Sire
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 15 votes )
Booth readers with a thing for incredibly stupid but inexplicably funny (depending on your sense of humor) viral phenomena may recognize Brooklyn's Das Racist from Combination Pizza Hut Taco Bell, an under-the-radar hit which found rappers Himanshu Suri and Victor Vazquez stretching a one-line joke, with minor variations, into a three-minute song. Don't get it twisted, though; as evidenced by the group's first feature, an unreleased freestyle over the Puma n Sire-produced instrumental from Cam'ron & Vado's Speakin' in Tungs, they have got lyrics. And – again, depending on your sense of humor – pretty damn good ones. If you're a fan of absurd, polysyllabically-rhymed punchlines ( "You couldn't see me like a shark's lips / Everything I touch is Jefferson… Starship.") and Gerard Depardieu namedrops, this just might be your joint. This freestyle isn't attached to any forthcoming project, but those intrigued by Das Racist's unhinged take on underground hip-hop can hear more on their Shut Up, Dude mixtape, available now online.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

El Convento
100 Cristo Street, Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
One need not be a student of the Spanish language to surmise that El Convento, in English, means "the convent." And it was, in a previous life, a Carmelite convent, established in 1651. Hard times befell the property in the twentieth century, as the convent became a dance hall, a flophouse, and finally a parking lot for garbage trucks.
The tourism industry underwent something of a renaissance in San Juan in the fifties and sixties, and El Convento was renovated and reopened in 1962 as a European-style casino hotel, attracting popular singers, Hollywood stars, and Hemingway.
Perhaps this sense of history is what accounts for the peculiar charm of El Convento. San Juan is hardly the most exotic of destinations in the Caribbean - in fact the casual observer could be forgiven for mistaking Puerto Rico for Florida. The tourism renaissance, sadly, was a smashing success, dotting the Puerto Rican landscape with shining monolithic megahotels, spreading a sanitized American monoculture that threatens to change Puerto Rico into an Epcot Center shadow of itself.
This hotel, though, stands out as a uniquely Puerto Rican place, charmingly Spanish Colonial in architecture and design. Though the hotel has been completely refurbished, in fact rebuilt from near-ruin, a careful authenticity has been established. Interiors are rendered in a distinctively Spanish style, with mahogany beams, handmade furniture, and Andalusian tile floors. No longer a casino, El Convento is still a destination, a remarkably unique hotel in a world of plain vanilla resorts.
Though the hotel is old-fashioned in atmosphere, there is no deficit in modern comforts. Rooms are oufitted with all the expected conveniences, from air conditioning and television to the all-important data ports. The upscale nightspot, Café Bohemio, bills itself as "the place to be and be seen" in Old San Juan. And El Picoteo boasts of tapas served overlooking the courtyard. As in any luxury hotel, there is a pool, a fitness center, and a ballroom which doubles as a meeting room. A simple massage can be had, and a fine one, but thankfully absent is a spa purporting to offer ancient indigenous secrets of wellness. In fact the dignity-assailing word "pampering" is nowhere to be found.
All in all, proof positive that there is some authentically Puerto Rican experience remaining in San Juan, and that one need not forsake the comforts of modern luxury travel in order to enjoy it.

Nice service. Central Old Town location.
What the hotel could do better:

TOP PICK – TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Volume 2 (Warner)
Back in the early 1930s, Hollywood churned out tons of racy movies about drug abuse, murder, and loose women. This three-DVD set gathers five films from the era and a documentary that puts them all in perspective. Best: The Divorcee, in which the title character one-ups her cheating husband by fooling around with everyone she sees.
DVD – Bee Movie (Paramount)
Last year's animated hit about a renegade bee who leaves the hive hinges on Jerry Seinfeld's winning voice performance. Visual gags and puns abound (the bits involving Goodfellas star Ray Liotta's honey company are Seinfeldian in their absurdity); the zippy CGI keeps things buzzing.
VIDEO GAME – Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom)
There's lots of hack and slash in this action game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The story centers on a bunch of world-conquering demons and the weapons-wielding hero who must stop them. Like other entries in the series, the narrative and dialogue are kinda lame. But the nonstop battles—gamers take on monsters of all shapes and sizes—and terrific-looking levels make this a keeper.
VIDEO GAME – God of War: Chains of Olympus (Sony)
One of the PlayStation's all-time greats finally comes to the PSP in a grand way. Once again, God of War Kratos takes on some mythological bad-asses, including Cyclops, Hydra, and Medusa. And yes, there will be blood. And lots of it. Plenty of head-scratching puzzles and button-pushing action make this one of the PSP's best-ever outings.
CD – The Best of the Vines (Capitol/EMI)
These Australian rockers rode the new-rock wave of 2002, following the White Stripes, the Strokes, and a bunch of other three-chord bands to the top of the charts. "Get Free" is their big hit, but this 16-song compilation—culled from the band's debut, 2004's Winning Days, and 2006's Vision Valley—features enough guitar-driven riffs to fuel a trip down under.

Patient donates $1M to hospitalFebruary 05,2013
BURLINGTON A former patient of a Fletcher Allen Health Care surgeon has donated $1 million to establish a professorship in the doctors name at the University of Vermont College of Medicine.

Chilling with biz royalty: Quizons and Revillas
What a delight it was to chill with my BFF (best friend forever) Sally Quizon and her siblings at Bar 360 at Resorts World Manila on her birthday on April 2. Epy, Vandolph and his wife Jenny were around to celebrate with her, too. "It's my first birthday without my dad (Comedy King Dolphy)," Sally sighed. "I miss him sending roses to me every time I turn a year older."
Then she pulled out a picture of her with Tito Dolphy taken during her 16th birthday when the latter visited her on the set of the movie she was shooting then.
"I miss my dad's comforting voice," Epy said. "Whenever I had a problem, he was the first one I turned to. Just hearing his voice reassuring me that he was there for me eased my burden."
Vandolph added: "When I'm having a tough time in my career, all I have to do is remember what my dad told me. (He said) that for him it's only me who can continue his legacy. That's why I'm striving hard to improve my craft."
I'm more than happy that Vandolph and I have let bygones be bygones.
Many intrigues ago, I wrote about his lovechild, Gabbie, with my friend, Gia. At first, that didn't sit too well with Vandolph. But now, he fulfills his fatherly duties to Gabbie just like he does to his two kids with Jenny—Vito and Kira. "Gabbie is graduating with honors," he beamed. "And Vito will soon join 'Goin' Bulilit.' He really wants to join show biz. We're not forcing him to. Di mapigilan. Nasa dugo talaga. (Can't stop him. It's in the blood)."
If plans materialize, there will soon be Dolphy apps/games for mobile devices, which Eric and Epy are conceptualizing. This month, Dolphy's monument will be unveiled in the Manila Bay area.
With all the laughter that night, it felt like Tito Dolphy was tickling us. It was his way of reminding us that as long as we have not forgotten how to laugh then his awesome life and work were not in vain.
I had a blast bonding with one of my fave couples in the biz—Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. and Rep. Lani Mercado—and their wonderful family at the Discovery Shores Boracay during
the Holy Week break. It's their yearly tradition to spend Semana Santa in "Boradise."
They were the picture of doting grandparents, swimming in the pool with their adorable apos, Gab (8), Alexa (4) and Iñigo (1 year and 2 months).
"It's our last chance to unwind before the grueling campaign period. We did the Stations of the Cross via the Internet," said Lani. "Jolo idolizes his dad so much that's why he wants to follow in his footsteps, be it in show biz or politics. His son, Gab (lovechild with Grace, the daughter of Rosanna Roces) is doing well in school and is so hyper."
She went on: "We are also busy preparing for the debut of (our daughter) Gianna. I didn't have a lavish debut celebration so her party will be a vicarious experience for me. But Bong and I are giving her options—whether to just travel or buy a car instead of having a grand party. Gianna also wants to feed kids in an orphanage on her birthday. Bong and I are happy that she has also joined show biz via GMA 7's 'Teen Gen.' Funny that her director warned the young actors on the show, 'Beware! She's the daughter of Bong Revilla.' We raised her well so we need not worry. She knows what's right and wrong."
When Bong joined us, I teased him: "Since you and Lani have weathered many storms in your marriage, you should give a crash course to other show biz couples on how to save their relationships." Lani retorted: "I've learned to become like a bamboo. I bend where the wind blows!" Then Bong kissed her on the cheek, saying, "That's why I love her and will never leave her."
Many controversies ago, Lani and I were at odds when I wrote about Bong's lovechild, Luigi, with my friend, Lovely. But the kindness of Lani's heart prevailed. Now, she treats Luigi like her own.
"When Luigi got sick while he was at our place, we rushed him to the hospital," she said. "But when they were asking for his medical history, I told Bong to call Luigi's mom because I'm clueless about it."
It was so heartwarming to see them in their unguarded moments devoid of anything showbizy.
Thank you, Bong and Lani for showing me that true friendship can be found in this unreal biz we move in. Your amazing love story makes me want to believe in "happy ever after" again.
* * *
PERSONAL: Thanks more than words can say to my ever kind friend, Boy So, and his efficient staff for the red carpet treatment at my home away from home, La Carmela de Boracay. Muchas gracias to my Boracay Angels, Mavic of Cez Manor and Vicky Salem of Boracay Plaza. Damo gid na salamat to my pangga friend, Mark Ortiz, Tita Cora and Tito Tony Ortiz, Patrick and Thursday Honrado, and Jessica Yu for always taking care of me like family at their San Antonio Resort, my oasis in Capiz.

Lasers have gotten cheaper over the years so that gizmo you are using, once upon a time, was too expensive so we used the old mirror with the hole in the center trick.
Nice easy DIY remedy, thanks.
