For some reason I always adored Kenny Norton.
It started as a kid, living in Packanack Lake, Wayne, NJ. I got into boxing after seeing Rocky.
Ken Norton was one of my first favorites. I liked his name and how muscular he looked in the boxing magazine photos. The first time I remember seeing him box on TV was against Jimmy Young in the WBC Eliminator.
Leon Spinks later refused to defend against Norton, opting instead to give Muhammad Ali a rematch, so via the fifteen round points win over Young, Norton eventually became WBC Heavyweight champion by default. Some people felt this was a cheap way to win the world title but I think Norton would have whupped Spinks anyway.
Another reason I liked Norton was how he gave Ali such troubles. I didn't see any of these fights, except for the highlights they showed when Norton fought on network TV. I figured Norton must have been a great fighter to give The Greatest such problems.
He certainly was a great fighter and he sure looked like one with that muscular, chiseled frame and he also had a good, likeable personality through the TV. Modest, soft spoken and honest.
I remember Howard Cosell said Norton was in tears after they robbed him of the decision against Ali at Yankee Stadium, the third and final time they fought.
There was something touching about that. Such a great, tough fighter, giving it his all, every ounce of his being and being robbed of the win by the judges. For Norton to cry about it showed he truly, surely believed he really did beat Ali that night. I have never seen a pro fighter cry in the ring after a fight, though I have heard stories of other greats crying behind the scenes, Andrew Golota and Pernell Whitaker, to name a couple.
For all these reasons, Kenny Norton became my man. I even named our kitten for him. We moved to a new house and there was a drain pipe under the driveway, that's where I found the black and white kitty with the pink nose one afternoon. So without any argument from my brother we named the cat Norton, for the boxer Kenny Norton and also a little bit for the TV character Ed Norton from the Honeymooners who worked in the sewar pipes under New York City. But primarily for Ken Norton.
I watched every Ken Norton fight that came on network TV. The second fight I saw was when he lost the title to Larry Holmes in the summer of '78. It was a great fight but Holmes won it. I never did understand why there was not a rematch for such a great fight. I still remember seeing Chevy Chase and Sylvester Stallone at ringside front row and were jumping like two lunatic kids during the thrilling fiftheenth round.
Norton's next fight was on TV too, against Earnie Shavers. That was a painful loss to watch, though I liked Shavers too. Ken lost in the first round. I think it was on ABC too. Later in '79 Norton was back on against Scott Ledoux. I remember seeing that one from Wildwood, NJ where we were on vacation in August. Norton could only get a draw vs. Ledoux. This fight was on CBS Channel 2 if my memory is correct.
Ever since losing to Holmes, Norton was never the same guy. It was as if he used his last surge of greatness in the last round against Holmes. That's what happens to great fighters after so many tough, hard battles. And the Holmes fight was brutal.
For some reason I didn't see the Norton Tx Cobb fight, maybe it wasn't on TV.
Then the last fight for Norton was against Gerry Cooney. For some reason I just didn't warm to Cooney and to see what he did to Ken Norton that night in the first round was horrifying. Thank God he recovered from those free left hooks Cooney kept on hitting him with. I always disliked Cooney for repeatedly hitting Norton like that, he didn't have to do that. Tony Perez, the referee, should have gotten in there quicker.
Later on Ken Norton worked as an NBC TV commentator with Marv Albert and he was in a movie called Mandingo, I think.
In my career in journalism over almost twenty years, I have been fortunate to have met just about everyone in boxing, from Ali to Khaosai Galaxy but I'm sad to say I never got the chance to meet or do a Biofile with Kenny Norton. Somehow he slipped through the cracks.
RIP Kenny Norton. You beat Ali twice. You were The Greatest too.

Thoroughly documented relic from the personal treasure chest of the Old Dutchman!1917 Honus Wagner Day Presentational Loving Cup. The most faithful servant of the Pittsburgh Pirates in franchise history with over a half century in uniform, the noble Old Dutchman is likewise the team's most decorated star and its primary contribution to the game's pantheon. An inaugural class Hall of Fame inductee with the likes of Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, Wagner figures heavily into any debate of ultimate baseball supremacy where these legends are discussed. "You can have your Cobbs, your Lajoies, your Chases, your Bakers," Hall of Fame manager John McGraw once expressed, "but I'll take Wagner as my pick of the greatest."
Father Time spares no man, however, and, after announcing he would conclude his playing career at an even two decades with the close of the 1916 National League season, a forty-three year old Wagner was coaxed back to Forbes Field for one last campaign in 1917. In a show of gratitude for Wagner's service, the Pirates management scheduled an elaborate ceremony to honor him prior to a meeting with the Chicago Cubs at Forbes Field.
A parade of 150 automobiles and two dozen marching bands formed a procession from Wagner's Carnegie home to the ballpark, where 12,000 spectators cheered their greying hero as Mayor Joseph G. Armstrong presented Wagner with the stunning loving cup presented here. Artfully engraved on the obverse are the words, "Presented to John P. Wagner By His Admirers, Friday June 22, 1917, Wagner Day." Wagner's monogram forms a skillful design on verso.
The ten and a half inch tall sterling silver trophy entered the hobby in 2003 with a letter from Wagner's daughter (included), but the trail of provenance extends all the way back to the date of issue. A thick binder of documentation includes photocopies of the following day's The Pittsburgh Gazette Times which ran a banner headline announcing "Honus Showered with Honors; Pirates Win." The moment of presentation is captured in photography just below, under a caption reading "Honus' Loving Cup and Pleasant Bride." From decades later, a photograph of an elderly Wagner finds him posed in an easy chair surrounded by trophies of his accomplishments. This loving cup appears on the arm rest to his right.
Scant few relics from the playing days of this Dead Ball Era legend have survived to tempt the modern collector, but from that thin supply few could match the offered lot for appeal or historical importance. A symbol at its presentation of the high esteem in which Wagner was held by the City of Pittsburgh, the cup today serves as an enduring tribute to the purity and mystique of the early game.
Fine condition, with no flaws of note. Letter of provenance from granddaughter of Honus Wagner. Photocopies of period newspapers, photographs picturing trophy.

I have been working at Technology Resourcing
They live, day-by-day, by their public goal of "restoring your faith in professional recruitment".
Perhaps unusually for target driven recruitment companies, they advocate honest, open and ethical behaviour with both employers and candidates and insist that their Recruiters do what they say they're going to do, when they say they're going to do it.
I really can't think of any major downsides of working at Technology Resourcing. Sure there are companies that pay slightly higher basics/commissions, but they also hire & fire much more readily.

The greatest elected body that money can buy (UPDATED)
- By Stephen M. WaltStephen M. Walt is the Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations at Harvard University.
Just when you think your contempt for Congress could not get any higher, our elected representatives manage to do something to ratchet it up another notch. After congressional shenanigans helped spark a major market sell-off and sparked fears of a double-dip recession, you'd think every single one of them would be heading back to their districts to figure out what their constituents wanted and to try to explain how they were going to help make things better. Or maybe a few of them would even spend the recess taking a crash course in macroeconomics and public finance, so that they could start exercising their public duties more responsibly.
But what did 81 of them decide to do instead? You guessed it: they are off on junkets to Israel, paid for by the American Israel Education Foundation, an AIPAC spinoff that has been funding such trips for years. That's right: during the August recess nearly a fifth of the U.S. Congress will visit a single country whose entire population is less than that of New York City.
Such behavior is especially disturbing in light of our current woes; even Greta Van Susteren of Fox News found it appalling (h/t Mondoweiss here and here). But it's not really a new pattern: in recent decades about 10 percent of all Congressional trips overseas have been to Israel, even though it is only one of the nearly 200 countries in the world.
Why do Congresspersons do this, especially at a moment when it is obvious that they ought to be worrying about conditions here at home? Mostly because such junkets burnish a legislator's 'pro-Israel' credentials and facilitate campaign fundraising. Such trips also expose these visitors to the policy preferences and basic worldview of Israel's leaders, which is of course why AIEF pays for them.
I suppose I ought to be grateful that AIPAC and its sister organizations continue to work overtime to prove me and my co-author right. But there are bigger issues at stake here, which is why I hope that every one of those eighty-plus Congressmen faces a lot of nasty questions from their constituents upon their return.
And in a related story, the Israeli government has just announced a new round of settlement building in occupied East Jerusalem. (For apt commentary, see Matt Duss of the Center for American Progress here.) If you've been wondering why most people have lost faith in U.S. stewardship of the peace process and are turning to other strategies–such as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement or the push for a Palestinian state at the UN –well, I think you have your answer. And if "two states for two peoples" is never achieved and Israel ceases to be either a Jewish majority state or a true democracy, you'll know exactly which misguided or feckless Americans helped bring that about.
UPDATE: American taxpayers will be pleased to know that Representative Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland) has reassured Israelis that financial challenges "will not have any adverse effect on America's determination to meet its promise to Israel." Translation: we may be cutting Medicare and Social Security for U.S. citizens, but Israelis–whose country has the 27th highest per capita income in the world–will continue to get generous subsidies from Uncle Sucker.

So I wasn't sure if I should post this in the DLNA section or the Roku section. It's more of a Roku question than a DLNA question. Basically I want to find out if the Roku 3 is going to be my best option for solving my current problem. I like the Roku 3 so far best out of all my options but if it solves my plex problem too then I am going to buy one no questions asked.
Anyway, I currently have a PS3, I have no plans of getting a PS4 or Xbox ONE, but currently I stream my Plex videos to my PS3 via the built in DLNA. I experience ALL KINDS of buffering issues. The video will play for 5 seconds then buffer for 10, play for 5 buffer for 10 for the entire video. I mainly play my blu-rays that I have saved in mkv format, so we are talking like a 25 GB file here. But my server is more than powerful enough and I am using a completely wired network. I don't have the issue if I use my laptop and use the web based player. So I have narrowed it down to something with the PS3 that is causing the issue. So my question is will I have this issue with the Roku? I originally thought it might be a lack of power of the PS3, but it could be just an issue with the way DLNA works. Not sure. Thoughts.
Thanks for the help!

New London - Lawyers charged the school district more than $100,000 in legal fees as a result of the termination of a tenured middle school teacher who the superintendent of schools said failed to meet standards for effective teacher performance.
Claudia Kenyon, whose contract was terminated April 4, is the only teacher to have been terminated under the school district's revised evaluation plan, which was instituted in the 2010-11 school year.
Legal fees reached a total of $114,023, of which $101,770 was billed for attorneys' work from October 2011 through March 2013. The district also paid its insurance carrier, Connecticut Interlocal Risk Management Agency (CIRMA), $12,252 for their lawyer to attend arbitration hearings related to the case.
All the legal bills related to the termination have been paid, Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer said Thursday.
Legal work for the district by the law firm Siegel, O'Connor, O'Donnell & Beck began in September 2011, a month after Fischer notified Kenyon - who had been teaching in New London since 1996 - that termination of her contract was under consideration.
The Day obtained information on the cost of legal fees for the district through a Freedom of Information request.
A language arts teacher, Kenyon was switched to social studies in the 2010-11 school year, a subject she'd never taught before.
New London Education Association President Rich Baez said Tuesday that Kenyon "fought the process" and that the district "set her up to fail."
He said her evaluations prior to 2010 had been stellar.
"They spent money to get rid of a teacher when they could have spent the money to keep the teacher and help her get better, that would have been more admirable," Baez said. "When I represented her in the evaluation process, she was not given fair treatment. Questions were noted for the record but never answered. ... I don't understand why they would spend $114,000 to get rid of a teacher, especially one that for 17 years did an excellent job by their own records."
When the Board of Education voted to terminate Kenyon's contract earlier this month, Fischer said her contract was terminated because she did not meet the standards for effective teacher performance.
The district's revised evaluation plan, which the school board adopted in August 2010, contains a Structured Assistance Plan, which consists of three levels of intensive assistance provided to the teacher. Each level of the structured assistance plan carries additional responsibilities and requirements for a teacher to become eligible to come off the plan. For teachers who have been identified as struggling, there are options for extra support.
According to the revised evaluation, a teacher is either placed back on the regular evaluation cycle or recommended for termination after 45 days on Level III.
Kenyon was placed on the assistance plan and reached the third level of assistance. During that time period, she was observed eight times by five evaluators. Fischer said she also received extremely intensive assistance and that she admitted "in several instances" there were areas she needed assistance in.
"There was substantial evidence as a part of the evaluation process that merited the steps we took," he said on Thursday.

In "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury what connections are there between the book and your life? Explain.
2 Answers | Add Yours
Consider some different areas that might be similar. For example, Clarisse explains that many of the kids her age "all say the same things and nobody says antyhing different from anyone else". Are kids you see every day afraid to stick out and be different? Are they all talking about the same things over and over? Also, Clarisse mentions how she is "afraid of kids my own age" because they are so cruel to each other. In her society, they kill each other; but are there examples of how kids are cruel to each other on a smaller scale that you could relate to?
Other areas of possible connection could be how much people watch t.v. these days; all Mildred does all day long is watch her t.v. walls. So many of us are glued to the t.v. screen, the movie theater or the computer. Also think about books. In Montag's society books are forbidden, but they got to be that way because people stopped reading them because they were too lazy. How many of your friends read books very often? When is the last time you sat down and really discussed a book with your friends? So that could be another similarity.
If you look close at your life, and to examples from the book, you should be able to see many similarties; Bradbury fashioned his dystopian novel after our society itself, and just made it the worse-case scenario. There are connections all throughout the book that hopefully relate to your life.

Quintet moves into 'Cabin'
Whedon-Goddard horror pic boosts cast, shifts bow back to February
The genre-tweaking screenplay was written by Whedon, who is producing, and Goddard, who is directing. The plot and character descriptions have been withheld by the filmmakers and the studio.
"Finding this ensemble has been very hard and very rewarding," Whedon said. "Each of the 'kids' is unique, fascinating and talented, and like true friends, the group is more than the sum of its parts. These are people you care about, able to go toe to toe with the amazing actors we've corralled thus far, and not unpretty in the bargain. I can't wait to harm them."
The film already is shooting, though its release date has been pushed back from Oct. 23 to Feb. 5. Presumably, this is to plant a flag in the date-night terrain of Valentine's Day and avoid competing with a potential "Saw VI" release before Halloween.
MGM will distribute.
Connolly ("Revolutionary Road") is repped by Paradigm, Hemsworth ("Star Trek") is repped by IFA and ROAR, Hutchison ("Underbelly") is repped by Marquee Management, Kranz ("The Village") is repped by Endeavor and the Hofflund Co., and Williams ("The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2") is repped by Endeavor and Impression Entertainment.
UA most recently released the Tom Cruise thriller "Valkyrie," which has accumulated $181.9 million worldwide. (partialdiff)

MADISON, Wis. -- Despite spraining his left shoulder late in the second quarter, Fond du Lac St. Mary's Springs senior quarterback Evan Henderson told himself he needed to be strong for his team.
"It was the last game" of the season, Henderson said. "What else am I going to use (my shoulder) for? I had to gut it out."
Henderson absorbed the pain long enough to score the go-ahead touchdown and then watched his defense preserve the lead as the Ledgers defeated Eau Claire Regis 24-14 to win the Wisconsin Division 6 championship Thursday at Camp Randall.
Henderson completed 14 of 18 passes for 144 yards and no interceptions and was vital when he came back on the field with his shoulder wrapped. With the score tied at 14, Henderson led the Ledgers (13-0) on a 13-play, 75-yard drive that he finished with a 7-yard touchdown pass to senior Ryan Grandlic with 17 seconds left in the half.
"He knew what he had to do, and he did it," said St. Mary's coach Bob Hyland. "That's a real tribute to the kid, his character and what you have to do for the team."
Senior tailback Darin Ward rushed for 95 yards and Eric Feldner had a game-high nine catches for 85 yards as the Ledgers won their second consecutive state Division 6 championship in their fourth straight title-game appearance.
Holding all 13 opponents to 14 points or fewer on the season, the Ledgers shut out the Ramblers (12-1) in the second half, holding them to 102 second-half yards.
The Ledgers also held the Ramblers to minus 9 passing yards.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Seven-minute walk from the Duomo
Hotel Pierre is located in the heart of the historic center of Florence. The city's most famous public squares are all an easy stroll away, and the Duomo can be reached in about seven minutes.
Florence is extremely pedestrian-friendly, and is one of Italy's most beautiful cities -- it's more compact, and less gritty, than Rome. The Duomo is the most iconic sight here, but other popular attractions include Michelangelo's "David" at the Galleria dell'Accademia, the works of Botticelli and da Vinci at the Uffizi, and the Ponte Vecchio bridge, which dates back to the 1300s. The Piazza della Signora is a popular tourist hub, and many hotels are located near it.
The Hotel Pierre is in a 13th century building located in the historic center of Florence. Though it has been updated several times over the centuries, the building hasn't lost any its Florentine charm. Arched doors, windows, and detailed woodwork are all lovely historic details. Rooms are light and airy, and have decorative touches such as light peachy pink walls and antique-style furniture. The size and amenities of the bathrooms vary, but all are functional. The intimate, 50-room property has no real features, but the free breakfast is a nice touch, and the central location means that all of the main tourist attractions can be reached by foot. It's also worth considering the nearby (and comparably charming) Hotel Brunelleschi.

Reddit user ExternallyXIII has put into action what Oreo lovers have been suggesting for years - The Moreo. While the Double Stuf Oreo attempted to give fans an extra layer of frosting, ExternallyXIII idea goes one step further by offering the chocolate wafers and creme separately. This would allow Oreo aficionados to create their version of the perfect cookie. In addition, people could mix in other fillings like Nutella and peanut butter. Would you prefer Moreos compared to the traditional packaged cookie? Do you think Nabisco should consider making this product? Let us know in the comment section below.

Wigner's friend is a thought experiment proposed by the physicist Eugene Wigner; it is an extension of the Schrödinger's cat experiment designed as a point of departure for discussing the mind-body problem in Quantum mechanics.
The Wigner's Friend thought experiment posits a friend of Wigner who performs the Schrödinger's cat experiment after Wigner leaves the laboratory. Only when he returns does Wigner learn the result of the experiment from his friend, that is, whether the cat is alive or dead. The question is raised: was the state of the system a superposition of "dead cat/sad friend" and "live cat/happy friend," that was only determined when Wigner learned the result of the experiment, or was it determined at some previous point?
Wigner designed the experiment to illustrate his belief that consciousness is necessary to the quantum mechanical measurement process. If a material device is substituted for the conscious friend, the linearity of the wave function implies that the state of the system is in a linear sum of possible states. It is simply a larger indeterminate system.
However, a conscious observer (according to his reasoning) must be in either one state or the other, hence conscious observations are different, hence consciousness is material. Wigner's discusses this scenario in "Remarks on the mind-body question" one in his collection of essays Symmetries and Reflections, 1967. The idea has become known as the consciousness causes collapse interpretation.
Just as in any Many-worlds interpretation, a bad world-count can lead to different probabilities.
The Many worlds interpretation avoids the need to postulate that consciousness causes collapse — indeed, that collapse occurs at all. Unconscious systems split (decohere) when there is an irreversible difference between their state in the world where the cat survived or will survive and their Counterpart in the other case. In the example below this happen with the cyanide device and the telephone. Similarly conscious systems split when there is an irreversible difference between their state in the world where the cat survived or will survive and their Counterpart in the other case. In the example below this happen with the cat, Wigner's friend and Eugene Wigner.
According to "Many worlds" when Wigner's friend (the investigator) finds out the result of the Schrödinger's cat experiment the part of the world where the friend is decoheres irreversibly or splits. In one split world the friend observes a live cat. In the other the friend observes a dead cat.
So, it is maintained that Eugene Wigner splits when there is an irreversible difference between Wigner in the world where the cat survived and Wigner's counterpart in the world where the cat died. In the original thought experiment Wigner postulated that he would find out when he returned to the laboratory. There can be other cases.
For example perhaps in the world where the cat survived Wigner's friend may telephone at once with the good news. In the world where the cat died Wigner may find out later. In that case when Wigner's friend makes the telephone call in one world Eugene Wigner splits into two. One counterpart knows the result. The other counterpart does not know.
According to objective collapse theories, wave function collapse occurs when a superposed systems reaches a certain objective threshold of size, complexity etc. Objective collapse proponents would expect a system as macroscopic as a cat to have collapsed before the box was open, so the question of observation-of-observers does not arise for them.

Tom, the perfect way to get a genuinely neutral grey negative, is to use a Wallace Expo/Disc, period.
They may have a shortened name now, but the Wallace Expo/Disc is a calibrated scientificly designed and manufactured, semi transparent unit, that slips on your lens, like a filter, except it slides on instead of screwing.
When you receive one, you will get a calibration card showing the deviance from 18% (I think from memory). I have two sizes, 52mm and 72mm, which went onto all of my Nikkor lenses.
Having used a myriad of different gadgets to obtain a correct grey, this is the absolute best. You can also check shutter speeds and/or lens f stops, by using different exposures.
Bob Mitchell had a small grey card made out of laminex, designed to go on a key ring, it is very good, but not as good as the Expo/Disc.
I've had mine since the very early nineties and did quite good to very, very good colour balance on my personal printing.
I have the original Jobo Colorstar 1000, which is like comparing a sixties BMW motorcycle, to a naughties BMW motorcycle, they are the same, but completely different.
To get a perfect grey negative for lab use for both colour balance and density, you slide the disc over the filter threads, turn the camera on to "A" for automatic aperture and/or shutter speed, point it at the light source, (generally), then trip the shutter.
Even if the shutter speed was down to, say ½ a second and you had camera movement, it won't matter, you will still have a perfectly exposed neutral grey negative.
You then take that negative and print a dead neutral grey tone, on colour paper, this is reasonably hard, actually.
Bob Mitchell invented another colour system which was designed to eliminate that guesswork, allowing you to get a perfect grey tone on your colour paper, he called it the, "Colorbrator", note the American spelling.
Basically this is an extension of the Unicube colour system, which I believe he also invented.
I have all of these different systems, they all work to different degrees of colour accuracy, all are quite good and quite accurate, but the combination of the Wallace Expo/Disc in the field, combined the Bob Mitchell Colorbrator in the darkroom, is perfect!
You can literally switch from daylight balanced film to tungsten, painlessly in the darkroom, provided you have exposed at least one frame from each film and lighting set-up first.
Once you have set your Colorstar analyser to a genuine grey, it is so easy, just put the probe under, turn the lights out, the enlarger on, then change the enlarger dials until all the colours on the Colorstar go out. Bingo, you will have a genuine neutral grey, and I do mean neutral.

|Biscuit mix
|1 1⁄2 Cup (24 tbs)
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|2 Tablespoon
|Whipped cream
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
Combine egg and milk. Add biscuit mix, sugar, and butter, and stir to blend well. Should be a soft, sticky dough. Add a little more milk, if needed. Pour into a well-greased fluted Mary Ann or flan pan, or into a 9-inch cake pan, and bake about 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Slice the 9-inch layer horizontally. Fill with fresh fruit, strawberries, raspberries, or sliced peaches, or use 1 can of pie filling. Top with whipped cream. Shortcake is always best when baked at the last minute, then filled and served while it is still warm. Individual Shortcakes: Reduce milk slightly so that you can knead the dough lightly on a floured board. Roll or pat to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a 2-inch cookie cutter. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Slice horizontally, adding crushed fruit and whipped cream between and on top.

Things I liked:These things are outstanding, both in function and looks.
Things I would have changed:Offer a set in "Low" for use with the generic 4x32 scopes that come on many break barrel guns.
What others should know:A 40mm scope with an AO ring is a very close fit. Mine fit, but a few people say they were forced to buy the "High" version. My guns have ~1mm clearance, which I love for both looks and function, but that means no scope cap or you need to sand a flat spot on the cap.
Things I liked:Great scope rings for the price!
Things I would have changed:Nothing- they work well as is!
Things I liked:Low price and ease of use. A no frills bargain if you ask me, and worth every penny.
Things I would have changed:Really can't go cheaper in price, so I would change nothing.
What others should know:For the money, these rings are quite nice. They help me to bring my 40mm objective scope closer to the barrel on my Marauder, so I could obtain a better cheek weld to the Marauder stock. I would not hesitate to recommend these budget rings to anyone looking for a solid no frills set of rings.

45 year old man | San Diego, CA, USA | Seeking women 32-42 within 25 miles
just like Mary Poppins....
...practically perfect in every way. (If you can't take a joke, now would be a good time to hit the "back" button and move on in your search.) I've recently moved to San Diego after living in a bunch of different places around the country. I'm in love with the ocean in a way that only someone from a landlocked state can be, and I am irrationally excited by farmers markets in midwinter (such as "midwinter" is around here). I am an intelligent, hardworking, devoted, oddly stubborn, and slightly off-the-beaten-path gent, looking for the same qualities in a partner. I'm still single because I won't settle for "good enough" in my partner. I believe in doing the right thing, even if I don't see an immediate benefit, and have too much of a habit of putting others' happiness before my own. I'm looking for an intelligent, sexy woman who knows who she is, who is open to trying new things but doesn't rely on another to entertain her, and who knows that geeks are teh sexeh. Good lord, when did I turn 43? Oh, that's right, yesterday!

Middle of the Road
I'm new to the area, so I'm still looking for local favorites. I love to travel pretty much anywhere.
Beer. Cheese. Interesting and unusual music. Locally-grown food. Well-aged manure for my garden. WiFi. Coming home from work and putting on my pajamas.
Dancing allows me to escape a cerebral job and rejoice in pure physical presence. I did swing until it got mass-marketed, but my favorites are now contradance and waltz. I have a fondness for renovating old houses (I assume they exist in SD?).
I read an article today on the Atlantic saying that dating is most successful when you're not trying to find a match. Not exactly an earth-shattering insight, but it does call into question why we're on this site. Thoughts?

David Thomas Broughton is a British folk singer and guitarist, based in London. Born in Otley, West Yorkshire, UK, he creates the sound of a large ensemble by sampling himself singing, playing acoustic guitar, and making an assortment of other sounds through a Boss loop pedal. He also uses various non-traditional musical instruments to augment his songs, including radios and televisions, and occasionally incorporates a use of natural field recordings into his music. He is also known for his love of spontaneity and musical improvisation, recording albums in one take (allowing recording faults to remain) and beginning live performances with no clear plan in mind. He has cited Tom Waits and Bill Callahan (Smog) as key early influences.
