28 year old man | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking women 22-30 within 15 miles
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get
A little about myself, I work as a pilot for American Eagle airlines at Chicago O'hare. I'm very easy going, quite sociable, and always looking for the next adventure. I am a bit of a goof, and enjoy making others laugh, as life is too short to be stressed all of the time! I'm addicted to traveling, and always have the urge to check out a new destination. There are so many great cities and places to see, and if you can keep up with my energy, I just may let you join me! Besides traveling, I love all sports (especially hockey), working out, and I play the guitar and piano. I'm also a diehard Blackhawks and Cubs fan! Let's see if they can repeat and bring the Cup back this year! The summer festivals are always something I look forward to, and can't wait for some live music! I am also volunteer at PAWS in Chicago, and am having a blast! I'm looking for someone who is genuine, likes to smile (I'm a sucker for a good smile), and appreciates the simple things in life. Someone who likes adventure and would even hop on a last minute flight to Europe and explore. I'm an affectionate person, and as much as I don't want to admit it, I do also like a night in curled up under the blankets watching a movie. I'm very close with my family and hope to find someone who is family oriented as well. Oh, and I'm a huge dog lover ( I grew up with labs and golden retrievers) so if you like dogs, even better. Other things you might want to know: -I have been to 46 states, and 4 continents -I'm 50% Italian and 50% Irish -I love coffee (I go back in forth between Starbucks and Dunkin) -I can't swallow horse pills ( I can handle small ones though) -I have cable only because I love ESPN -I enjoy cooking -I can't read sheet music, but play by ear -I love dogs! -I know magic tricks -I will make you laugh
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports
Baseball, Football, Golf, Hockey, Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
I grew up with a golden and black lab, and I'm hoping to get my own dog soon!
Middle of the Road
Italy, Spain, Argentina, Central America, enjoying the beach in the Caribbean. As far as Chicago, old town, wicker park, wrigleyville (but only during Cubs home games), the beach, listening to live music at the summer festivals.
University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Champaign, IL
Best movie of all time, Forrest Gump, followed by Apollo 13. As far as tv shows, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, homeland, californication, Entourage, game of thrones, sons of anarchy, breaking bad. I need a new series!
Spontaneously going to the airport and jumping on a random flight, watch Chicago sports, play hockey, softball, round up my buddies to play golf, workout, go to the summer festivals downtown, help get the pups adopted at PAWS. I'm up for anything!
I've heard all of the hype, so I just started a Divergent.

I have this collard for my dog. I don't usually believe in pinch collars but our new dog defintately needs it. He would normally pull with any other collar but this settles him down.
Pros: strong
Cons: none

Match analysis is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and as I mentioned in some other thread there is a wealth of data for modern players.
The argument you made about Federer's peak level of play being lower than Nadal's and Djokovic's was controversial because so much is known about how these players perform and how their level of play measures statistically.
And match analysis is not the only way to judge playing strength. I can think of a handful of other methods, and you have used them yourself.
You can argue by analogy with other players, for example. To argue for Nusslein's superiority over von Cramm, you have connected them through Tilden: the argument is that Tilden defeated von Cramm in 1934, while Nusslein had an edge over Tilden in that year and in subsequent years.
That's similar to the way I connected Federer on the one hand, and Nadal and Djokovic on the other, through Roddick and Hewitt. I noted that Federer defeated peak Roddick and Hewitt more easily than Nadal and Djokovic were able to do in later years.
Then there are a player's yearly win/loss records, which all of us frequently use as a guide to judging when a player reaches his peak and when he starts to decline.
I don't know if you and PC1 saw the questions I put to you both in the other thread, about those last two methods -- but anyway my point here is that ranking players according to playing strength is not an exercise that is merely restricted to feeling. Perhaps I've misunderstood what you meant by feeled lists
Could you give me a link to the posts you wrote that you asked me some questions?
I think when we look at a player's strength of course we look at won-lost record but even that can be deceiving as you pointed out so well in discussing Emerson and Laver.
We have to back the statistics in which we analyze the records of the players along with studying the history of the time. If we were just to look at won-lost record we would think Laver in 1962 was superior to Laver in 1963 but that is far from the case. Laver at the end of 1963 was a far superior player to himself in 1962. The stats would not show it except we know from studying tennis history that he played in a far superior league if you can call it a league.
It frankly annoys me when I read some so call experts saying one player is better than another because when they played this great, the great made him feel helpless or that he had beautiful strokes. I used to read of one all time great who from the accounts in the books seemed to be all but unbeatable yet in looking at the records he did lose a lot more than I expected. Don't get me wrong, the guy's record was still fantastic but the books almost indicated that not only did he almost never lose but he crushed everyone. Brad Gilbert was not known for the best looking strokes in the world but the guy became one of the top players in the world. Some players like Leconte look great but they often found a way to lose. Heck I thought Leconte looked better as a player than either Edberg or Becker but his record couldn't even come close to the other two.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Curt email@example.com The ethics commission created to oversee the Clayton County Board of Education has established procedures for lodging citizen complaints and issuing sanctions against school board members. The commission, in its first official meeting Friday, announced it will post the procedures on the school system's web site in the coming weeks, so Clayton County residents will have access to them. Residents will also have online access to the required documents for filing complaints against school board members. Here is some of what will be posted: ·The complaints must be sent to the commission in writing, and verified under oath, according to a copy of the guidelines. · The person filing the complaint must send it to the commission chairman, via the school board's secretary, who also works for the commission. · The complaint must be notarized, and three copies (including the original) of the complaint must be filed with the commission. ·The complaint must be filed within six months of the violation, or within six months of the violation being discovered through due diligence, in case concealment or nondisclosure has taken place. The sections of the ethics code created by House Bill 1302 must be cited carefully. "Please note that only provisions of the act which contain substantive standards that can be violated by an elected official, appointed officer, or employee of the Clayton County school system; or other applicable state or federal law, and those provisions relative to disclosure statements can be considered for action by the commission," states the document outlining the complaint process. After the commission receives a complaint, the person complained about will be notified. The commission has 30 days to conduct a closed-door meeting to discuss the merits of the complaint. If the commission feels it needs to proceed further with the complaint, a public hearing will be scheduled. There are two classes of sanctions the commission can recommend against a school board member: · Class One sanctions are punishable by censure or reprimand by the commission. · Class Two sanctions result in the board member's removal from office. Violations which rise to the level of a Class One sanction include: Improper use of resources and the acceptance or solicitation of money or things of value, such as gifts, transportation, loans or meals; engaging in private employment which is incompatible with the board member's ability to perform his or her duties; accepting honoraria; engaging in any business or having a financial stake in the affairs of the school system; advertising business or professional services to the school system; having a personal interest in school system real estate, buses or materials and supplies, or failing to comply with disclosure rules. Violations which can result in a board member's removal from office include: Voting or participation in negotiations with a company when the board member, or a relative, has a financial interest; voting or participating in the appointment, employment or promotion of a relative; participating in deliberations when the board member, or a relative, has a conflict of interest; representing someone in any action or proceeding against the school system; soliciting membership in any professional organizations or labor union that represents school system employees, and disclosing information obtained during closed-door meetings to members of the public. Additionally, the commission selected Robert Flournoy to serve as the body's chairman, and Sam Burston was elected as the vice chairman. Flournoy also announced that the commission has been awarded $18,600 per year to covers costs, such as legal fees, document reproduction costs, and to pay the stipends for each commission member. However, the meeting got off to a rocky start when commission member, Mike Barnes, stood up in the audience early on and asked why he could not participate in the meeting. He was told it was because he had not received the required training. Barnes countered by announcing that he was trained by state Reps. Wade Starr (D-Fayetteville) and Darryl Jordan (D-Riverdale), but the legislation which created the commission said only the school board could provide training to commissioners. Barnes, a former member of the school board, held Starr's seat in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1999 until 2006, when he did not seek re-election. Barnes left the meeting after Flournoy said the commission would need to see verification of any training.

Happiness 2011
More News from Aina
What would make me happy?
A great job?
A hot boyfriend?
A fulfilling relationship?
A brand-new car?
Travel around the world?
Or just getting along better with myself?
What is happiness all about?
There's no universally accepted definition of what happiness is. To some, it's free, to others it may cost millions of pesos. Happiness comes in different forms.
My project for 2011 was to find its meaning, and I was convinced I knew exactly what I needed to achieve it.
I like making time frames, planning ahead and setting goals. I do this on a daily, monthly and yearly basis. I would list down the things that I need to do every day and I put a check mark on each once I'm done with it, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment.
For 2011, I had a long list of expectations and goals, and little did I know that one would turn into an obsession…
I got obsessed with my American dream.
If only there are better career opportunities here in the Philippines for physical therapists, I would prefer to just stay and be with my family. To work there one has to go through a long, cumbersome process and to take the state board exam which is given only in the United States. A few nightmares we have to go through are: "credentialing" to make sure our education is equivalent to US standards; passing the English exam; and getting a US visa.
I had been working on this for quite some time, and I was hoping that I could make it happen in 2011. I said to myself that if I made it, I would be truly happy. I got close to achieving this goal, so close that I could almost taste it.
But life is truly unpredictable, there are certain things that are beyond our control. Some decisions are not ours to make.
Despite everything I did, I wasn't able to leave. This made me feel so frustrated, I felt like the universe was treating me unfairly.
So the waiting game continues to this day.
It was March when I was told by my agency to wait for six more months. Six months felt like forever, I consoled myself by saying I'll get by, I'll just make the most during the "waiting period." But six months turned to seven, then nine. To make a long story short, it has been approximately four years (and still counting) of waiting since I was told to wait for six more months.
The waiting game made me feel insane! I got feelings of anxiety and impatience. I blamed the universe for playing tricks on me. I felt like a lollipop has been dangled in front of me only to be cruelly taken away just as I reached out for it. I quietly prayed to God and asked for answers. "Lord I thought you want me to be happy, but why is this happening? But whatever it is, Lord, I trust you, I know you have better plans for me."
After the phone call I had from my agency telling me about another "delay," I wanted to cry, but my three-year-old niece gave me a tight warm hug which made me feel better.
During the waiting period, I did a lot of stuff just to keep my mind from my frustrations. I would offer to babysit my adorable niece and nephew at my brother's new home (they recently moved to the Philippines from Singapore). I spent more time with my family. I also went back to the review center and met amazing people and new friends. I was able to enjoy running again and joined my brother and some friends in a couple of fun runs. I got into yoga and enjoyed it beyond my expectations. And I was able to do a lot of reading, caught up with my favorite TV programs and movies. I was able to play the guitar and sing again. I had more "me" time (thank you for the amazing online deals that I was able to get for myself and the pampering that I needed). I was able to sort out my cluttered thoughts, which enabled me to write this.
Year 2011 was all about waiting, and during this period, I realized that I found the happiness I have been looking for. My family, my friends, my newfound interests, the good weather, an appreciation from patients thanking me for somehow making them feel better are just some of the countless things that made me happy in the year past. I learned about faith-based optimism, to let go of expectations and my obsession about achieving a specific goal at a particular time. I also learned that it's good to plan and to be optimistic about your plans, but no matter how hard a person plans something, if it is not the right time, it won't happen.
I do have plans, but it is God's plan that will prevail in the end. This waiting period has given me the opportunity to understand what I really want, and to realize that some dreams would not necessarily give me the happiness that I am looking for.
Like what most people say, a flower will grow and bloom on its own good time. There's no need to give it a deadline. If it's not growing as fast as we want to, we just have to trust Mother Nature. For a beautiful flower to bloom, it has to have enough water and sunlight. We can always trust a flower to bloom, but we cannot guarantee the precise moment when it will spread its petals. So is trusting God, He knows what is best for us, and we can always complement our hard work and determination with prayers.
Happiness is like a switch; when to turn it on or off is within our control, we just have to know where the switch is. It is something that we don't wait to happen, it is something that we do. It doesn't wait on time, it is not something that waits for the future. We just have to open up and let it in.
I celebrated New Year's Eve with my loved ones and I can say that my search for happiness has been a real success. I am looking forward to more reasons to be happy in 2012. I will continue to pursue my dreams and finish what I have already started but this time, with a hopeful and happy heart because I believe that happiness leads to success, not the other way around. Success is the icing on the cake, the cherry on top of the ice cream, a bonus to my already awesome life.
Aina, 29, is a freelance physical therapist. She wrote this piece last New Year's Eve, while looking back to year 2011.

Alka Kshirsagar
Pune, Feb. 23Premier offshore product development company Persistent Systems Pvt Ltd is shifting gears and aligning itself to address market demands in the Design for Manufacture (DFM) space of outsourcing.
Dr Anand Deshpande, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, PSPL, told
Business Linethat DFM is the next big thing on the software outsourcing radar over the next 12 to 15 months, and is accordingly steering his company in this direction.
The company has already initiated the DFM process with half a dozen customers in the US, which is where 90 per cent of the product outsourcing business worldwide originates. "I expect that within the next 18 months, we will definitely be doing only DFM," Dr Deshpande emphasises.
The company, which was established in 1990, and touched the 500-employee mark first in 2003, has 2,800 people on its rolls today. Little over a year ago, it got an infusion of $19 million from two venture capitalists Norwest Capital Partners ($14 million) and Gabriel Venture Partners.
Though news that PSPL is ready for its initial public offering (IPO) has been doing the rounds for a couple of years now, Dr Deshpande affirms that they are in no "desperate hurry". He does, however, admit that all the milestones necessary for an IPO are in place, and should the board take the decision, it will be in the marketplace within four months.
PSPL, which closed the 2005-06 fiscal at Rs 220 crore will grow 40 per cent year-on-year to touch the Rs 350-crore mark for the current financial year

FOX Sports Exclusive
Here's Rx for US to win next WBC
Another World Baseball Classic ended without Team USA as its champion, which the most jingoistic critics see as a fatal flaw. How can this be a legitimate tournament if we don't win?
The hard truth is that the Americans didn't deserve to win, which, far from undermining the tournament, highlights its relevance. The U.S. supplies most of the players in Major League Baseball, but that's not necessarily the same as having the best.
After the Dominican Republic completed an 8-0 run to the WBC title Tuesday in San Francisco, reliever Octavio Dotel said there is "no question" his homeland is the best baseball country in the world right now.
American fans can't muster much of a retort. Team USA is 10-10 in three WBCs. It would be too strident to say we've abdicated our national pastime, but it's apparent that other countries play the sport as well as we do — and with greater passion.
The irony is that the first three WBCs should have been easier for the U.S. to win than the next three, presuming the tournament continues (and the commissioner's office insists it will). The WBC's oft-stated mission is to grow the game globally. Having accomplished that — with Brazil and China potential baseball powers for the next generation — the WBC field is about to get tougher.
Would it help the tournament's popularity among American fans if the home team won? Of course. But it would matter more if Team USA fully invested in the effort to win, in a way that more completely realized the potential of international baseball.
BRUSH WITH GREATNESSThese pitchers suffered the heartbreak of losing a perfect game after the 26th out.
By that, I mean two things:
1. More frequent international play, beyond the WBC every four years.
2. Greater representation among star players on Team USA.
Since I've written about the second point before, let's focus on the first.
We know that soccer — or football, as it's known elsewhere — is the world's most popular sport. While club loyalties account for much of the sport's passion, the near-continuous cycle of international play (World Cup, World Cup qualifiers, UEFA European Championship) pulls in more casual fans.
National teams play "friendlies" against one another in between the major tournaments, a concept baseball should mimic. I understand that baseball is not soccer, and the WBC is not the World Cup. But anyone who attended or watched the U.S.-Dominican Republic game March 14 at Marlins Park knows the potential of a best-vs.-best matchup between great baseball countries.
The game was a spectacle, with horns and flags and the fourth-largest crowd in the stadium's history. It was a visual delight, terrific for television. I suspect the atmosphere would have been similar even without the opportunity to win a trophy several days later. The competition — amplified by the passion of Dominican fans — was the thing.
And after such a riveting event — won by the Dominicans, with a stunning rally against closer Craig Kimbrel — it would be a shame if Major League Baseball and the players' union let the fervor lay dormant for another four years.
Baseball doesn't need a major international tournament every year. That would be impractical, anyway, given the objections of many team executives to the WBC. But why not hold a single-game rematch at midseason?
The teams could add players who weren't on the WBC rosters — Justin Verlander, Buster Posey and Bryce Harper for the U.S., Albert Pujols, Adrian Beltre and Jose Bautista for the Dominican. Baseball could promote the game as an international showcase and hold it the night after the All-Star Game — an open date on the American sports calendar. The stage would belong to baseball, which isn't the case in March for the WBC.
The logistics would be simplified by holding the game in the same ballpark as the All-Star Game — with many of the same players. Imagine, then, how the scene would look this July: the Dominican Republic, as reigning WBC champions, against the U.S., with something to prove, at Citi Field in New York.
Think the city's large Dominican population would turn out for that one?
Sponsorships and television rights could, in time, turn the showdown into a moneymaker for owners and players. And if the concept is successful, the games could occur on a semi-regular basis with the U.S. playing different international opponents (e.g., Japan, Korea, Venezuela, Puerto Rico).
IN FULL SWINGWe've got all the action covered at MLB video central.
Is that scenario realistic this year? Probably not. But events of this magnitude are crucial if the WBC and Team USA are to strengthen their brands. The more often baseball fans see major leaguers in Team USA jerseys, the more they will be aware of high-level international competition, and the more they will look forward to the WBC when it comes around.
And let's not overlook the benefit to Team USA's chances of winning the next WBC. It's often said that American players aren't used to the urgent, one-and-done style demanded in international baseball. Even one or two "friendlies" in between WBCs would give them more experience in that environment.
The superstars who decided against playing in this year's WBC may have an easier time committing to a one-day event surrounding the All-Star Game. And if they enjoy the experience, they could become spokesmen for Team USA in the way that New York Mets star David Wright has.
In the end, of course, that's where this needs to go — near-uniform participation among America's elite players. And Team USA came closer to that ideal in 2013 than you might think. Would Posey, Harper and Mike Trout have been that much of an upgrade over Joe Mauer, Ryan Braun and Adam Jones? I don't think so. For all the questions about a pitching staff without Verlander, David Price, Clayton Kershaw & Co., Team USA compiled a 3.17 ERA.
Know how many major league teams had a better ERA during the 2012 regular season?
The Americans played hard. The Americans played well. Other teams played better. In that way, the 2013 WBC revealed — even more powerfully than the first two editions — how intense baseball's global competitiveness has become. For U.S. players and fans to acknowledge that would represent a significant and needed attitude adjustment, similar to the transformation USA Basketball underwent following its Olympic disappointment in 2004.
PICTURE SHOWSee all the best images from spring training in Arizona and Florida.
It was then that Jerry Colangelo assumed complete autonomy over the senior men's national team. In order to be considered for the next Olympic roster, Colangelo mandated that players commit to multiple years of participation and camps because, as he put it, "The day was gone when you could roll out a ball, lace up your shoes and beat everyone else in the world."
Sound familiar?
"I felt we had shown little respect for how far the game had come around the world," Colangelo, now the chair of USA Basketball's board of directors, told me in a recent interview. "We needed to show these basketball organizations, representing their countries, the respect they deserved. Only then would we re-earn the respect we once held. That would require a cultural change, in terms of attitude, and a real commitment on our part."
And they made it. LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony have the back-to-back gold medals to prove it. Now USA Baseball needs its answer to Colangelo, a Hall of Fame executive with cachet and vision who can make the national team his fulltime focus.
And Team USA, in some form, needs to play more than a half-dozen games together every four years if it wants to be prepared for a major international tournament.
To win the 2017 WBC, Team USA doesn't necessarily need different players. It needs a different approach. The Americans can't merely count on a few more superstars signing up for the team. That won't be enough, because the Dominicans will add a few more superstars, too. And if Team USA has any doubt about that, I would recommend setting up some friendly meetings between now and 2017.

- The leader of the agency that represents federal whistleblowers said she's heard enough to be concerned about flying, GovExec reported. Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner sent a letter to President Barack Obama listing the alarm bells: Federal Aviation Administration workers said they saw air traffic controllers falling asleep on the job, unauthorized aircraft flying in U.S. Airspace and lax oversight of airlines' maintenance programs. She said these employees have told the FAA, but the agency has done little in response. The agency has one of the highest rates of whistleblower filings in the government. (GovExec)
- The Government Accountability Office has rejected a contractor's claim that it was duped into raising its bid. The case concerned a contract from the Centers for Disease Control. CDC wanted to re-do a sprawling data center. It told both contractors their proposed staffing levels were too low. Unisys raised its staffing levels and therefore its price. Competitor Hewlett Packard argued the staffing bid was correct, stayed with its original bid and won the contract. Unisys protested. In rejecting the protest, GAO said the agency didn't have to spoon-feed vendors on how to respond. (GAO)
- The Air Force said it won't take action against airmen who complained about problems with the F-22 fighter. Lt. Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger, assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, told a Senate subcommittee the pilots would receive whistleblower protections. Both pilots are members of the Virginia Air Guard. The pilots made comments about the plane on a national television show. They claimed faulty oxygen delivery systems caused pilot dizziness and blackouts. The Air Force said the problems have been repaired. (Federal News Radio)
- The House Armed Services Committee is proposing to increase next year's Defense spending by $3 billion more than the administration wants, and it rejected the Pentagon's call for military base closings. The committee meets today to mark up a bill that would provide a base budget of $554 billion, which would provide another $88 billion for the war in Afghanistan. Unless Congress says otherwise, automatic reductions of $50 billion a year will hit DoD starting in January. (Federal News Radio)
- House members angry over a botched gun-tracking program have voted to cut the Justice Department's budget. The amendment easily passed the full chamber. It would cut $1 million from Justice's general administration fund, which pays for salaries. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), who sponsored the measure, said the agency has not fully answered questions about Operation Fast and Furious. The controversial program led to the death of a border patrol agent. Justice said it has given Congress thousands of documents. But the House Oversight Committee has asked for thousands more. (House.gov)
- Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is suspicious that the Drug Enforcement Administration might be causing a shortage of legal prescription drugs. He asked the Government Accountability Office to look into the matter. Grassley was worried that DEA quotas imposed on drug manufacturers might limit supplies available to sick or injured people. Grassley wanted the GAO to look into how quickly the DEA responded to quota requests, and, how fast it granted requests for supplemental quotas for drugs in high demand. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) joined Grassley in the request for an investigation. (Senate.gov)
- A proposed rule could require companies that take over agency contracts to keep the employees who were doing that work. A council that oversees federal acquisition regulations has published the rule in the Federal Register for comment. It follows an executive order, which explained the situation like this: When a service contract expires and a follow-on contract is awarded for the same service, then the new contractor should hire their predecessor's employees. The White House said it would make transitions between contracts run smoothly and keep experienced contractors around. (Federal Register)
- The FBI has teamed up with a nonprofit group to fight back against the latest cyber-threat. The DNS Changer malware stops anti-virus software from working correctly. That lets the malware interfere with your web browsing. The tide of infections has receded in recent weeks, but there are still about 80,000 infected computers. So an FBI task force has joined with nonprofit group Internet Services Corporation to provide clean servers that anyone can use to rid themselves of the malware. You can go to the DNS Changer Working Group website to check your computer. The process takes only a few minutes and you'll need to do it by July 9. After that, if you still carry the malware, you may lose access to the Internet altogether. (FBI)

Ski holiday 2015
Just a few photos from the Ski holiday so far - won't bore you all with tales of daring red runs, lost snow chains (thankfully not this year, so far) or off piste escapades, but the attached photos are a way of sharing our holiday with family and friends ... Don't worry, there will be far more to come in the ...
Mont Blanc
... wonderful mountains against a clear blue sky. Alan took 104 photographs in about 3 hours!
Tuesday was also clear, so we drove to Chamonix, which is also at the base of Mont Blanc, for a view from another angle. We planned to take a telecabine up to Aillguille du Midii, the next door peak, but the web-cam showed it was too cloudy at the top to make it worthwhile, so we had lunch instead!
Today was fine but not sunny this ...
Best Day EVER!!
... city on our way up. On the first stop we decided to get off and take some pictures. My selfie stick really came in handy today. I totally wore the wrong pair of shoes though. I wore boots since it was going to be cold, but I soon found out that my shoes had no friction when I face planted in the snow. It was so embarrassing!!!! Good thing it was only Jeff and Nikko who saw, or I would have been mortified. Needless to say, it was the joke of the day. Hey, that rhymed!

Day 7
Day 7 was one of the most memorable days of the trip. We drove to the city of Chamonix and took a couple of Gondolas up to the top of Mont Blanc for some incredible views. As we approached the peak of the mountain, everyone began to notice the altitude and how it effected us. Pretty much everyone got lightheaded. It was bearable but not comfortable after about a half hour on the mountain. On the mountain ...
Our day at Mont Blanc and Chamonix
... mountain. Now we had lunch at this little cafe called La Petite Kitchen and I thought we were going to have a small light lunch. I was then surprised to see that we were having steak which I was definitely not expecting. It was a little rare as far as being cooked but was still a very good steak with dessert and everything. After this lunch we went back to Geneva for another smaller tour with Emilie guiding us. We then ...

Less Mess. Collated strip nails for 20-degree full round-head framing nailers are typically held together by rigid plastic strips that can transform into mini projectiles and pile up underfoot like so many ball bearings. Duo-Fast's Paper Tape Framing Nails eliminate such hazards and reduce plastic waste. According to the maker, paper collation is also less likely to break if dropped. So far, testing at the local vo tech has been thumbs up. The nails come in bright and hot dipped galvanized versions; bright 16s cost $58 a box online.

Woman forced to withdraw moneyDULUTH - A Lawrenceville woman said two black women in their 50s, who were possibly armed, forced her to drive to two Gwinnett banks and withdraw money last Friday. According to a police report, the woman was loading groceries into her vehicle outside the International Farmers Market on Shackleford Road in Duluth when she was approached by the women asking for a ride. Once in the vehicle, one woman pressed something to the driver's back and made her drive to the Georgia Federal Credit Union in Duluth and withdraw $2,000 from her bank account. She was then forced to drive to the Bank of America on Satellite Boulevard and withdraw $500. The trio reportedly drove on to a Target store where the pair took another $500 from the victim's purse and then fled on foot. The woman said she never saw a weapon but the object pressed to her back felt hard and cylindrical. Police shoot dog trapping woman LAWRENCEVILLE - A Lawrenceville woman was momentarily trapped in her vehicle last Thursday by a vicious dog, a police report said. The woman said she when she arrived at her home on Cruse Road, a brown pit bull charged her vehicle while barking and growling. Her husband was able to scare away the dog, which had a wire lead attached to its collar, leading the man to believe the dog had escaped a neighbor's yard. When a Gwinnett County police officer arrived to investigate the situation, the dog charged him, causing the officer to fire his gun ultimately shooting and killing the vicious dog, the report said. The dog's owner, 29-year-old Lewis Antwan Thomas of 2366 Cruse Road, was issued vicious animal and leash law citations. The dog was turned over to animal control at Thomas' request.

Gran Habano Corojo #5 Short Robusto
4 x 60 - Natural - Single
Special Offer
Special Offer $84.99 $106.60 On Sale
Gran Habano Corojo #5 premium cigars are one of three very affordable blends from this fine boutique brand made in Honduras. These cigars have a full-bodied blend of Costa Rican and Nicaraguan longfillers, Nicaraguan binder, and a dark, juicy Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper. The smoke is creamy, full-bodied, complex in flavor, and well-balanced with a long finish. A true aficionado's cigar that's great after dinner. If you like full-flavored fare, be sure to put these on your *must try* list.
Great smoke, lit well, slow even burn, coffee flavors with medium to strong finish.
If you don't have one of these flavor bombs in your humidor, Get Some! Great tobacco flavor , not overly complex with a mildly sweet flavor you might expect from a Maduro less the creamy taste. More of a very very light sugar reminder on your palet. I've smoked both a 6X60 ( great) but prefer the Rothschild size.

38 year old man | Santa Rosa, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-40 within 50 miles
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
My self-summary I'm an educated, professional, ambitious and quirky guy looking for a sincere and intelligent woman for summer adventures and ideally, a long term relationship. My ideal woman has a strong, outgoing personality with a great sense of humor and a penchant for adventure. Sarcastic, snarky and just a little bit twisted a plus! The one caveat is you must not want kids (older/grown children are fine but must not want more children). In my free time, I enjoy being out on the river kayaking, afternoon cocktails on a deck, sunsets at the coast, trivia, happy hours, game night with my friends, and going to the movies. I'm also the undisputed "Road Trip King!" Ideally, you will enjoy the outdoors and be up for whatever the day brings (eg: open to trying new things/going new places). I love skiing in the winter, so if you ski, that's a big bonus. I have traveled extensively, and am looking for someone who also has traveled outside of the country and enjoys experiencing other cultures. Basically, what I'm looking for is moderation – someone who enjoys going out, but is also happy curled up on the couch watching movies (anything but horror). Someone who enjoys cocktails, wine and great food but doesn't have dependency issues. Someone funny, snarky and sarcastic, but also kind, sincere and open to a long term relationship with a guy who knows how to treat a woman like a lady (without being a doormat). If any of this sounds like you, wink or drop me a line!
Business networking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Bowling, Football, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
Well, I have been to 18 countries, so there is a long list of favorite places. But keeping it local, Bodega and Tomales bay for seafood, Lake Chalet in Oakland for hanging out with friends, Tahoe for just about anything, and Eureka for a day trip
Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA
On weekends I tend to be all over the place, either kayaking down one of the larger rivers here in CA, getting into shenanigans with friends, going on a road trip to some unknown destination, or sailing around the bay. I am pretty much open!
What is the last thing I read? Well I listen to a lot of books on tape, so I am going to count those as well. This sounds cheesy, but "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" was actually really good! I like detective/mystery novels and the such

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|1 - 7 nights
Nestled among the tall pines of Winter Harbor, this classic lake house has 100' of shoreline on Lake Winnipesaukee. The picturesque setting enjoys spectacular views of the lake and Belknap Mountains, as well as wonderful sunsets. A southwest exposure provides for sun throughout the day, or you can just relax in the shade of the pines. Moor your boat at the large dock and swim from the beach alongside it. The house is in wonderful shape throughout, with a rich knotty pine interior, beamed ceilings, and room for all with 4 bedrooms, full and half baths, spacious living room, dining room, and lower level walkout entertainment room. Situated away from traffic at the end of a cul-de-sac, this is the perfect summer retreat!
Provision for pets.: I do allow guests to bring well behaved dogs. Food and water bowls are provided. I can arrange for dog food to be available when you arrive. Unfortunately, I can not allow guests to bring cats due to allegies.
Other Amenities: If there is something that you require and I have not listed it, please let me know. If it is possible I will provide it.
Daily Cleaning: I will be happy to provide you with a quote for daily cleaning if it is required. The same professional cleaners that provide changeover cleaning will be used.
John Horan lives in Wilton, CT.
John Horan purchased this house in 1996
We bought this property because we love the lake and the town of Wolfeboro.
Beautiful relaxing location, away from traffic at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac. Close to historic Wolfeboro for shopping and dining.
This house and location are simply amazing! The sunsets were stunning. The lake was perfect. There are such beautiful views from all the decks, the spacious living room, and massive master bedroom. And John has provided everything you will need while staying here – down to last detail. My three dogs were the happiest and most relaxed I ever seen them. I can't overstate how wonderful our week was and how magical this house is - 5 STARS!
We had a spectacular week at the lakehouse. Plenty of room for the extended family. Beautiful, private setting with a great dock and sandy bottom for swimming in the crystak clear water. Our Golden Doodle didn't want to leave! Winter Harbor is great for skiing and tubing. House had everything we needed and I would highly recommend this property. Thanks John.
Location Location Location! Southwest exposure sun all day large dock for h2o activities in protected winter harbor.John the owner very easy to work with and provides all amenities right down to flashlights and fans in all rms to bottle of wine on arrival.Spacious clean inside a pleasure to enjoy family at such a beautiful setting. Look forward to our return already for next year.
This place is quite amazing. The house is built beautifully and has plenty of room for 8 adult men, which is what our group was. We wanted a relaxing getaway weekend from the wives and kids and it was perfect. Canoeing on the crystal clear water, grilling up burgers for dinner, and catching some sun on the dock. Wolfeboro town is a cute little town as well with some great places to eat and my favorite, Bailey's ice cream. This place is perfect for families or some friends looking to relax. John, the owner, is a really nice, honest guy who makes the business part of the transaction very easy and smooth. If you decide to stay here you will not regret it.
Our family of 5 adults and 2 children loved the week at the lake. This is a lovely home with every amenity; comfortable, nicely decorated bedrooms, gourmet kitchen, lots of seating for eating, reading and just hanging out. Great music and entertainment systems. Plenty of couches and great views. The sandy beach is a real plus with a good variety of dock seating and picnic table for sunset watching and early morning coffee. Wolfeboro is busy but charming and just a short drive (or run) away. Welcoming fruit and wine is a thoughtful touch. In 35+ years of lakeside rentals in 4 states, this is by far the best!
My wife and I stayed at this beautiful home for the second time. Again we where greeted with wine and homemade brownies, muffins etc.. We love this home so much we plan on comming back again and again. So quiet and yet close to everything. John the owner is so nice and a pleasure to work with. This house has everything you could want in a vacation home. Just arrive and enjoy! Can't wait to go back.
Enjoy swimming and boating, or just relax, in this sun-drenched waterfront location. Historic Wolfeboro has many fine restaurants, shopping, and other activities. Local hiking trails in abundance. It's easy to make day trips to the White Mountains, historic Portsmouth, Kennebunkport, and the outlet stores in North Conway...and afterwords you can return for an evening at home on the lake.

WBGO's Lezlie Harrison Remembers Dale Fitzgerald
April 1, 2015. Posted by Tim Wilkins.Add new comment | Filed under: Lezlie Harrison, RIP
WBGO says goodbye to jazz advocate and friend Dale Fitzgerald, who passed away March 20 at age 72. Lezlie Harrison knew him well: she and Dale created The Jazz Gallery with trumpeter Roy Hargrove in 1995, and worked side by side for more than two decades. She offers this heartfelt remembrance. Farewell Dale, and thank you!
It's been just over a week since my hip, cool, smart, dapper, funny, daring, stubborn, generous, complex, ride-or-die friend, of 26 years, Dale Kelley Fitzgerald, Executive Director of The Jazz Gallery, physically departed this earth.
Our friendship was founded on our love for jazz music, art, and culture. We turned that love into creating The Jazz Gallery.
We jokingly called The Jazz Gallery our child. When we first acquired the space on Hudson Street, it was used to give trumpeter Roy Hargrove a space to rehearse. Dale was also Roy's business manager and often had to assuage Roy's neighbors who complained about his late night trumpet playing. It was there that The Roy Hargrove Big Band was created. The Gallery eventually morphed into an art gallery that showcased jazz related art work, with music as background. In 1995 we officially opened our doors in August with an exhibit that celebrated the extinct jazz club, the Tin Palace.
Over the last twenty years I have worked with and supported his efforts to establish a home for the youngest generation of jazz musicians to create and showcase their artistry. This year our baby turns 20 and our fearless Founder is gone.
When I returned to WBGO last June as a part time on-air announcer, he was thrilled. He was always "taking notes" to give me after each show to improve on the listening experience. In writing this, I really miss him as he was also a great editor and he I am sure he'd have me make changes somewhere! He was my champion. I will miss him dearly Though my heart is heavy, love remains.
Plans are underway to honor Fitzgerald with a celebration at The Jazz Gallery soon.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to an education fund for his young son, Gabriel.
Cassandra Wilson Sings Billie Holiday
March 31, 2015Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog Supreme, Jazz Night In America
One hundred years after she was born, Billie Holiday remains iconic in American music, not to mention jazz singing. Cassandra Wilson has made her career in jazz singing by embracing a wide range of American music, and it holds true on her latest project: a new album rearranging the Billie Holiday songbook. The new Coming Forth By Day, created with rocker Nick Cave's producer and rhythm section, reshapes songs like "Good Morning Heartache" and "Strange Fruit" with fresh textures and resonances.
For Billie Holiday's centennial, Jazz Night In America presents Cassandra Wilson in concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., performing her take on the classic tunes.

Does Cotton Shrink in the Dryer?
Yes, cotton shrinks in the dryer.
More Info: Although a strong, durable fabric, 100% cotton garments are at risk for shrinking in the washer and dryer. Today many cotton garments are Sanforized™ which mean that they are preshrunk using a trademarked process and will not shrink in the wash. Cotton is often blended with polyester or other fibers that help to make it more shrink resistant.
How Do You Care for Cotton?
Care for cotton clothing is extremely easy and basically worry free. Cotton clothing is highly washable and can be laundered at a variety of temperatures with little worry. If you are intending to wash your cotton garment in hot water, be sure to pre-treat any stains prior to washing as hot water can set some stains including blood and grass stains. Turning clothes inside out before washing them can help to prevent fading. Be careful not to dry cotton clothes completely. The fabric will wrinkle, as well as shrink after time. Allowing clothes to air dry is the best way to give them a longer life. Ironing should also be done with the garment inside out.
How Do You Prevent Cotton from Shrinking?
You can prevent cotton from shrinking by paying attention to care label sewn into the garment. 100% cotton can shrink up to five percent, which is more than one size. Many of today's cotton garments are either treated and processed or blended with synthetics, which may reduce shrinkage. Never throw a cotton garment in the dryer without first checking the care label.
Expert Opinion
Quote: "Look for the terms "long staple cotton," "Pima cotton," "Combed cotton" and "Cotton Lisle." Pima is a very high-grade of cotton grown in the southwestern United States. Combed cotton undergoes extra processing for smoothness and to retain only the longest and best quality fibers. Lisle is a jersey fabric made from two ply combed cotton yarns forming a fabric that is usually very soft, smooth, and of improved quality."
