Active within 24 hours
Hello! I grew up outside New York City and...
Hello! I just arrived in San Francisco from New York City. I enjoy dinner and drinks with friends and trying new restaurants, going to concerts, dancing. I enjoy a daily dose of exercise and love trying new activities, especially anything outdoors - hiking, biking, tennis, snowboarding...anything really. I tend to find idiotic things funny (think Zoolander, Arrested Development, Eddie Murphy Delirious, Spinal Tap). I consider myself to be a cool nerd because I love to learn new things. I listen to all kinds of music - but more rap/hip-hop and much less country. I am looking for someone who is confident, adventurous, and has a sense of humor. If you can teach me something new or show me a different perspective, that is a major plus.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Watching sports
Cycling, Running, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
Would love to eventually get a dog.
Middle of the Road
Can't say I have favorite spots in the city - I bounce around a lot even though my neighborhood is great. Favorite travel destinations include Istanbul, Sardinia, Tel Aviv, Tibet, Capetown, the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Ibiza and Formentera.
Listening to music and singing along, getting super dressed up, doing anything outdoors, experiencing new cultures, karaoke, hot showers, a day at the beach, hot tubs after a day of snowboarding...the list goes on.
I like to try new restaurants, spend time outdoors being active (not too easy in NYC!), traveling, going to the movies, dancing, going to concerts, karaoke.
Most recent: Unbroken (so good!). Also read The Week (it's the best!).

What better way to enjoy the journey than with the right person.
Since you probably have read a few of these, I will try to get to the point… I consider myself unique, an extroverted-introvert, and I'm prone to walk a path less traveled. I have and appreciate a great sense of humor. I am passionate about life and love to laugh and hope life still permits me many unforgettable moments. Although life is short, I still want and deserve to enjoy it! What you see is what you get, I like to be straightforward without hurting anyone, I don't like or appreciate games. A relationship shouldn't be that hard and chemistry is a must. I should never wonder what you're thinking or wanting…I should know. I will be more impressed with your personality than your accomplishments. I have learned that what I want is a partner, someone who likes himself and others, especially me (lol). I am very active and take care of myself and am attracted to a man that does the same. I value sincerity, loyalty, optimism, independence, creativity, confidence, and an open mind. I have 2 children (boy and girl) that I love and am very passionate about. If we have both been through and share similar circumstances we may have a better chance at connecting. I've lived in a few places including 6 years in Europe, so I've traveled around, I've had great experiences, and I've had the pleasure and privilege of experiencing other cultures. I of course love going out, but also enjoy spending time at home. I am spontaneous, adventurous, I like trying new things and like plans made on the spur of the moment and most of all I love to travel. Everything that I have done and lived has taught me something and has made me who I am. If you are like me, you may be experiencing the same challenge which is trying to figure out how to balance the mystery of fate with online dating. This is definitely taking me out of my comfort zone. I find myself in a different situation than before and although I don't have a problem meeting nice people, I simply just have not met the guy who is right for me. The one I can't wait to see at the end of the day. I believe in first impressions and chemistry so the idea of doing this is a bit foreign but I still believe in fate and I hope to be pleasantly surprised. The rest, I will tell you later.

I love spending the weekend at the shore. I love spending the end of the summer in the coast of Portugal, south of Spain, etc.
My kids.Traveling is one of my passions. I love the adventure, experiencing a new culture, listening to different languages. I would love to go to Prague, Brazil, India, Dubai.
I love traveling, going dancing, museums, trying new restaurants, watching a movie, playing cards with friends. I enjoy going to the beach. I also like having quiet time to read.
I love to read and I wish I had more time to do so. Recent reads: The Road, Pillars of the Earth, 100 Years of Solitute, The unbearable lightness of being by Milan Kunder,etc.

Not the Girl Next Door!
Hey! I'm a fun, easygoing woman who's looking for that special man. I currently work as an office manager and am the mother of two wonderful girls. People who know me will tell you that I am very dependable – I would do anything for the people in my life. However, I'm also a bit of a thrill-seeker. I've been sky diving, love roller coasters, etc. I'd love to find a companion to go on adventures with. I have never met anyone online, this is a first for me. Lost touch with family friends over the years my other friends are all either married or have small children and don't have much time to go out, besides it's more fun to go out with singles when you're single. I'm looking for a man who will be a good partner for me. Chemistry is important, so I want a man who attracts me both physically and emotionally. I like a tough guy with a sensitive side. I want someone who's confident and enjoys a bit of adventure, but who's also kind to others and knows how to treat a woman. He's very laid back and is lots of fun to be around. Last but not least, he loves to make me laugh. If this sounds like you, send me a message and let's talk. You never know what'll happen unless you take a chance!

"Philippines" lanie2012's Profile
I have travelled in many places in my country. But my travels are not really usually for leisure. Oftentimes, I go to poor communities and be with the local people. I do what they do and eat what they eat (so far I haven't eaten something out of this world...lol!). It's my part of my job as a development worker for an international NGO (non-governmental organization). Although I sleep in small lodging houses (I'm not allowed to sleep in village houses during community visit), ride in motorcycles/tricycles or walk kilometers of rough roads, eat whatever is sold on the side of the street, these travels are the best travels that I have because I learned a lot about many things that I never learned in college nor in seminars/trainings. I treasure these travels. My learnings and reflection are what I want to share in VT. Of course, I would do reviews as well to help anybody who wants to visit the places I've been to.
In one of my community visits, I was not informed that there was to be a birthday celebration. The family prepared pansit bihon (very thin rice noodles fried with soy sauce some citrus), puto (rice cakes), softdrinks and spaghetti. I know that the celebration was quite extravagant for a family (with four children) who earns less than $5 a day. I think they did it because they were told I'm coming. Filipinos are known for hospitality. I felt shy and blessed that day. They have nothing yet they give me everything.
Sometimes, going to a community or family's house entails crossing rivers like this one, which seems to be in the middle of a forest. "Follow us!" the children teased me as they hopped from one big stone to another before they disappeared behind thick strange plants (for me). How'd do that without tripping nor slipping? I have no idea. And yes, I found the house after several minutes of wandering around the forest and collecting insect bites on my legs. Those kids must be laughing at me in secret. But I enjoyed the hide-and-seek forest version.

12-2 in three weeks with 12 set straight wins is a really positive way to finish the year. And her 1st title in almost 5 years, when she had that great run winning 25ks in Istanbul, and then 2 in Australia, Port Pirie and Mount Gambier. That run of titles really was her launchpad into the top 100 and she then started 2008 full of confidence.
It's funny, Monica has almost always finished tennis seasons really well, with the exceptions of 2009 and 2010. But 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012 were all great finishes. Now let's hope Monica can start next year as well as she finished this one. If she can she could very easily find herself at the start of March in the top 50 with virtually no ranking points to defend until close to the end of the year. That would be an eviable position to be in for sure.
Honestly, I feel very postive about 2013 for Monica. I think it is going to be easily her best year on the tour. That's just my gut feeling.

Crysis Warhead Feedback Thread

Re: Crysis Warhead Official Thread
I really don't get it when people say Crysis looked better before it came out. Have you seen some of the 2006 E3 gameplay videos (meaning not trailers but people actually playing the game)? Way lower resolution textures, less advanced shaders, and not as much detail in the distance (not sure if it was LOD or level design). I'll have to dig up some pictures to prove my point when I get a chance. The only one that looked "better" was that one jungle fight video, which people have recreated in the sandbox editor. It was mainly just a matter of making the jungle extremely dense and adjusting the time of day. But I would think fighting in such a dense jungle would eventually get annoying. Another factor I think is just how long it took Crysis to be released. It really blew everything away when it was first announced but other games started to catch up a bit in visuals. I think the same will be said about Alan Wake if/when it gets released.

New ProClip mount supports TomTom-loaded iPhones
updated 03:20 pm EST, Mon February 22, 2010
Avoids problems with windshield mounts
ProClip and TomTom have collaborated on a new car mount for the iPhone. As with some existing kits, users can fit the ProClip mount in a car for use with TomTom's iPhone navigation app. The ProClip gear attaches directly to a part of the dashboard, however, eliminating falls because of problems with windshield suction.
A GPS signal booster is built-in, along with a microphone for making and receiving calls. A speaker amplifies sound feedback, and battery power is charged while an iPhone is in use. Two components are needed to actually install the ProClip system: aside from an iPhone holder, a clip specific to particular make and model of car must be chosen.
US prices and release dates are unknown, but the mount should already be available in the UK for �100.

Find local maxima \ peak positions in noisy 2D arrays
function [cent, varargout]=FastPeakFind(d, thres, filt ,edg, res, fid)
% Analyze noisy 2D images and find peaks using local maxima (1 pixel
% resolution) or weighted centroids (sub-pixel resolution).
% The code is designed to be as fast as possible, so I kept it pretty basic.
% The code assumes that the peaks are relatively sparse, test whether there
% is too much pile up and set threshold or user defined filter accordingly.
% How the code works:
% In theory, each peak is a smooth point spread function (SPF), like a
% Gaussian of some size, etc. In reality, there is always noise, such as
%"salt and pepper" noise, which typically has a 1 pixel variation.
% Because the peak's PSF is assumed to be larger than 1 pixel, the "true"
% local maximum of that PSF can be obtained if we can get rid of these
% single pixel noise variations. There comes medfilt2, which is a 2D median
% filter that gets rid of "salt and pepper" noise. Next we "smooth" the
% image using conv2, so that with high probability there will be only one
% pixel in each peak that will correspond to the "true" PSF local maximum.
% The weighted centroid approach uses the same image processing, with the
% difference that it just calculated the weighted centroid of each
% connected object that was obtained following the image processing. While
% this gives sub-pixel resolution, it can miss peaks that are very close to
% each other, and runs slightly slower. Read more about how to treat these
% cases in the relevant code commentes.
% Inputs:
% d The 2D data raw image - assumes a Double\Single-precision
% floating-point, uint8 or unit16 array. Please note that the code
% casts the raw image to uint16 if needed. If the image dynamic range
% is between 0 and 1, I multiplied to fit uint16. This might not be
% optimal for generic use, so modify according to your needs.
% thres A number between 0 and max(raw_image(:)) to remove background
% filt A filter matrix used to smooth the image. The filter size
% should correspond the characteristic size of the peaks
% edg A number>1 for skipping the first few and the last few 'edge' pixels
% res A handle that switches between two peak finding methods:
% 1 - the local maxima method (default).
% 2 - the weighted centroid sub-pixel resolution method.
% Note that the latter method takes ~20% more time on average.
% fid In case the user would like to save the peak positions to a file,
% the code assumes a "fid = fopen([filename], 'w+');" line in the
% script that uses this function.
%Optional Outputs:
% cent a 1xN vector of coordinates of peaks (x1,y1,x2,y2,...
% [cent cm] in addition to cent, cm is a binary matrix of size(d)
% with 1's for peak positions. (not supported in the
% the weighted centroid sub-pixel resolution method)
% p=FastPeakFind(image);
% imagesc(image); hold on

What looked like easy governors' races may not be
NEW YORK Even Republicans were looking at New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, as a lock this fall to succeed retiring Gov. David Paterson and claim the seat long held by his famous father, Mario Cuomo.
Once Republican Scott Brown showed that Democrats in Massachusetts couldn't hold the late Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat, however, what seemed politically impossible in the 2010 elections has at least some plausibility.
After courting Steve Levy, a county executive from populous Long Island, to switch his registration from Democrat to Republican and run for governor, the GOP's new message to Cuomo is: Game on.
"This is just one of those really great stories, where you find a candidate who fits what's needed by the state and has a record to prove it," said New York GOP chairman Ed Cox.
Thirty-seven states are electing governors this year. To be sure, Cuomo is still favored to win in heavily Democratic New York. But Levy is among a handful of promising dark horse gubernatorial hopefuls across the country - challengers or open-seat candidates - who are well-regarded by party leaders and who, like Brown, could pull off an upset.
The group includes Republicans like Chris Dudley, a former NBA star who has vastly out-raised other GOP candidates vying for the open seat in Democratic-leaning Oregon, and Susana Martinez, a Hispanic district attorney hoping to succeed outgoing Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson in New Mexico.
Democratic Party leaders are optimistic about Scott Heidepriem, a state legislator running for the open governor's seat in Republican-leaning South Dakota, and Peter Corroon, the mayor of Salt Lake County challenging incumbent Utah GOP Gov. Gary Herbert.
The most promising dark horse candidates share similarities regardless of party.
They are proven fundraisers who can keep pace with or often out-raise their higher-profile opponents. They are running as pragmatic problem-solvers who can appeal to voters across the political spectrum. And they stress fiscal conservatism on the campaign trail while largely avoiding divisive social issues.
"The most important thing for a dark horse candidate is that they have a record of fiscal conservatism and a vision for how to move the state forward," Republican strategist John Weaver said. "That's how dark horses can come out of right field and lead the field, because they are talking about what people care about this year."
Weaver is advising Levy as well as two other potential dark horse gubernatorial candidates - Republican Rick Snyder in Michigan and Tim Cahill, the state treasurer and Democrat-turned-independent running in Massachusetts.
While Republican Charlie Baker is mounting a strong challenge in Massachusetts to Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick, Cahill's blue-collar background and message of fiscal austerity have made it a credible three-person race.
In Utah, Corroon was re-elected with 66 percent of the vote in 2008 in a county home to about 40 percent of the state's population. Utah is a conservative state, but Corroon said in an interview that voters still prefer moderate governors. Corroon insisted that he, rather than Herbert, was a true heir to former GOP Gov. Jon Huntsman, who left the post last year when President Barack Obama named him ambassador to China.

Restore power to the Ethics Commission
As a state representative and a candidate for re-election, I have long prioritized the fight for accountable and ethical government. From placing General Assembly votes online, to tax expenditure accountability, I have led the way. Lately, too many people have expressed their concerns about elected officials profiting from holding elected office. It is clear that this self service over public service has to end if we want to be an attractive place to start, move or expand a business. Ethics and transparency are key to creating a level playing field and a fair business environment.
Ethical government starts during campaign season. Financial disclosure reports show where a candidate's financial interests lie, and where his or her business ties are – so that there can be true accountability when that candidate becomes a representative introducing bills or asking questions in committees. Legislators must recuse themselves from voting and debating based on these self interests, and accountability for that responsibility can only happen when candidates disclose their financial interests.
Who can we rely on to hold legislators accountable? Unfortunately, right now, no one. Our state Ethics Commission does not have the power it needs to be a pro active force for accountability instead of merely being reactive, if someone files a complaint. For example, it took a complaint filed against Stephen Tetzner, my opponent, to get him to fill out his financial disclosure report.
This is why I support the full restoration of powers to the Ethics Commission, and will continue to fight for that no matter how long it takes.
Once the commission has its power restored, I'll fight to ensure it has the ability to stop candidates from filing to run if they have not met the basic requirements of paying off previous campaign finance violations, or filing the appropriate ethics disclosure forms. Providing a "clean ethics bill of health" before candidates can run will be an important first step n restoring the public's trust, and ensuring voters have all the information needed to make the right decision in the voting booth. But that is not the end of it; we must make certain those who have been entrusted to represent the people's interests cannot profit from state contracts or otherwise use their position to make financial gains for themselves. In the most recent case of David Caprio, a past opponent, being forced to step down from his position as state Democratic Party chairman, it was again someone from the public who discovered the potential conflict.
My bottom line is this: More information about government and the people who want to serve in it is better. That's why I worked with the non partisan, good-government group Common Cause to get legislator's votes online, and will continue my work to have the search available by keywords. I am proud of the fact Common Cause gave me the second-highest ranking of all 113 reps and senators in Rhode Island.
Cleaning up our government is crucial for our democracy and to improve our economic future. If you agree, then I respectfully ask for your vote for state representative in House District 34 Nov.4. Thank you.
Teresa Tanzi
Tanzi has 'widely varied' experience
Representative Teresa Tanzi's record is full of action for House District 34 of Narragansett, Wakefield and Peace Dale: Legislative bills, experience, awards and recognition of her devotion to her constituents. This is in the public record and provides all the information a voter needs to know in order to make a choice.
Space allows only a few facts of many to be noted here about Tanzi's two terms. Tanzi ranks second highest in the General Assembly on the Common Cause Score Board and 100 percent for Ethics and Elections/ Campaigns. Northern Rhode Island YWCA named her a rising political star in 2012.
At the invitation of the White House, Tanzi was chosen as a delegate to the first White House Summit on Working Families. Just last week, she was again invited by President Obama to meet and discuss policy initiatives they both champion, such as the newly passed legislation in Rhode Island allowing working families up to four weeks paid leave for family crises.
In May, she introduced a bill to offset fisheries and farming loss resulting from renewable energy projects like Deepwater Wind. The fishing industry, already highly regulated, stands to lose access to fishing areas that have been guaranteed since the 1600s. Advocates of both the energy and fishing industries support the legislation.
She introduced legislation that requires Rhode Island health care laws to comply with the Affordable Care Act, the national law, to make the system easier to use in Rhode Island.
Her highlight legislation was the "good time" bill, which prevents criminals convicted of serious offenses from being released early for merely good behavior.
Her concern for over testing led to her earlier introduction of Bill 2014 H-7256. The General Assembly later passed similar legislation, eliminating NECAP as a requirement for high school graduation until 2017. Education Commissioner Deborah Gist, long a proponent of NECAP, recommended extending the date until 2020 and acknowledged the need to study and quantify the amount of student and teacher time spent on testing in each school.
Bills Tanzi introduced or championed include marriage equality, forming a task force to review gun control legislation, lactation consultant licensing to help new mothers and babies, closing a corporate tax loophole that hurt small businesses and urging the Student Loan Authority of Rhode Island to consolidate student loans, among many others. Experience is an essential component, and Tanzi has amassed that experience in widely varied aspects of government.
It so often said that qualified women should participate in government. Here, we have Teresa Tanzi, wife, mother and experienced legislator. We are fortunate she is working for us here in House District 34.
Nancy K. Bivona
Tanzi has 'solid record'
Re-elect Teresa Tanzi – that would be my advice to Wakefield, Peace Dale and Narragansett residents in House District 34. Here are a couple of reasons why.
She has a solid record in voting for important government reforms – a record that displays considerable integrity, something sorely missing in Rhode Island. She received the second-highest score in the General Assembly on the 2014 Common Cause Legislative Scorecard. Tanzi sponsored a measure that was signed into law to increase accountability and transparency in tax credit programs and for state agency reports.
She's proposed legislation to protect fishermen when energy efficiency programs – also a state priority – threatened part of their livelihood. She has compassion and finds solutions that meet many people's needs.
Tanzi's been active in a number of local efforts that have a direct impact on the quality of our lives. She's brought needed legislative grants to South Kingstown C.A.R.E.S. and the Healthy Places by Design subcommittee on walking and biking. She rolls up her sleeves and gets things done. She's engaged and always available.
In closing, a demographic point: Tanzi is one of a handful of women legislators. Only about a quarter of the Rhode Island General Assembly's members are women. Let's make sure she stays.
Susan Marcus
Gun and ammunition donation was 'irresponsible'
I was surprised to read Barbara Tetzner's letter to the editor, ("Candidate's spouse is off-limits," South County Independent, Oct. 9) in which she objected to being mentioned in a fundraising invitation for Representative Teresa Tanzi (D-District 34) of Narragansett, Wakefield and Peace Dale, that I sent to a small group of friends. To be clear, I am not an employee or spokesperson for Tanzi's campaign, just a Rhode Islander who's been continuously impressed by her passion and integrity.
Tetzner felt she should not be part of the public discussion surrounding her husband's campaign, because someone shouldn't assume that she is in lockstep agreement with her husband. Of course, this is true but I was making no assumptions at all. In fact, it is a matter of public record that both Barbara Tetzner and her husband, Stephen, have taken actions that I believe are inappropriate and that display extreme views on guns. According to public state campaign finance filings, last year Mrs. Tetzner donated $1,200 of ammunition to a Rhode Island Republican Party fundraiser as a raffle item, alongside an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle that her husband donated. At the time, I was appalled the Republican Party would be so callous in its fundraising efforts, particularly following so closely on the heels of the tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, in which a similar AR-15 rifle was used to kill 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Whatever your opinion on gun control might be, raffling off an assault rifle for political gain is irresponsible. In my opinion, those extreme views do not belong in the General Assembly. That is one of the many reasons I am proud to support Teresa Tanzi for state representative. She has proven to be one of the most effective and committed legislators in the General Assembly, and I know she will keep working hard to protect our neighborhoods, support our schools, clean up our environment, fight for cleaner government and level the playing field for our small businesses.
Patricia Smith
Tanzi knows how to 'bring people together'
Teresa Tanzi knows how to bring people together to form a consensus from divergent opinions and follow through until the group's objectives are achieved.
The route for phase IV, the final leg of the William C. O'Neill Bike Path, became a contentious issue for the Narragansett Town Council to decide, since several different alternatives were proposed by town administrators, state Department of Transportation contractors, private citizens and interested groups. At stake was the $1.2 million dollars remaining in the Federal DOT bike path fund. Tanzi facilitated the meetings of a group of nine people, with representatives from four independent, local organizations..
Tanzi suggested a rational procedure for creating a route, which entailed field trips for each proposed segment. As a neutral facilitator, she did not vote. Over a period of several months, Tanzi and the group walked various proposed routes and finally settled on a plan that was mapped and presented to the Narragansett Town Council. This was one of the three routes presented to DOT for final consideration. Tanzi followed up by attending periodic DOT progress meetings.
This is but one example with which I am familiar, since I was one of the nine participants. If you look at her legislative record, you will see constant effectiveness. She deserves to be returned to her position as our highly successful representative.

Tanzi to host info session on student loan refinancing options
STATE HOUSE – Rep. Teresa Tanzi will host a constituent event next week to provide information on the Rhode Island Student Loan Authority's new education loan refinancing options.
The event is scheduled Thursday, Oct. 30, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Maury Loontjens Memorial Library, 35 Kingstown Rd., Narragansett. A representative from the Rhode Island Student Loan Authority (RISLA) will be available to explain the educational loan refinancing and consolidation opportunities the authority offers to help Rhode Islanders save money on their state-based, private and PLUS student loans.

"Student debt can be crippling for many, severely limiting future options long after a person has graduated. The Rhode Island Student Loan Authority is there to help and has created new refinancing options at the behest of the General Assembly to help people take advantage of lower interest rates. More people need to know about these programs in order to take advantage of them, because these programs can save them a significant amount of money over the course of the loan, which is why I invited RISLA to come directly to our community to answer questions and help spread the word," said Representative Tanzi (D-Dist. 34, South Kingstown, Narragansett.) "Ours is the first community to have this important opportunity and I hope many people are able to come and take advantage of it."
The event is scheduled Thursday, Oct. 30, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Maury Loontjens Memorial Library, 35 Kingstown Rd., Narragansett. A representative from the Rhode Island Student Loan Authority (RISLA) will be available to explain the educational loan refinancing and consolidation opportunities the authority offers to help Rhode Islanders save money on their state-based, private and PLUS student loans. The event is free and open to all.

High school debate sparks House District 34 controversy
By Stephanie Turaj Staff Writer, South County Independent, 10/16/14
South Kingstown High School canceled a planned civic forum between House District 34 incumbent Democrat Teresa Tanzi and Republican challenger Stephen Tetzner, after controversy erupted over the date, the proposed moderator and the Tetzner campaign's treatment of a student planning the forum.
The move comes weeks after Tetzner sent out a campaign mailer using a body double of Tanzi, alleging she "broke her word" regarding a plan to hold a series of debates.
In July, Tetzner sent out a press release challenging Tanzi to a series of five debates. He said he sent the challenge to Tanzi by registered mail July 15. In September, he sent her a second challenge for a debate, this time using a registered courier to serve her the paperwork.
"Tetzner had said he wanted to have a series of five debates," Tanzi said. "I said we would have the League of Women Voters [forum] and we would plan this debate at the high school. I thought that would be a bit much, but we would have one in September, one in October, and see how things went. So I started planning for the one in October. I approached the high school about having this there."
"We kept trying to book with her, book with her," Tetzner said in an interview this week. "She talked about having a 'civic event' at the high school with the students asking questions, and the teacher being a moderator, which I agreed to."
His postcard mailer went out Sept. 15 to residents of the district, which includes Narragansett, Peace Dale and Wakefield. It depicted a model – with hair similar to Tanzi's – with her back turned. The postcard said Tanzi had been challenged to a series of debates "for two months" and alleged she "broke her word" after agreeing to participate.
"Instead of additional debates, [Tanzi] proposed a 'civic event' at South Kingstown High School," the postcard read. "She wants to take questions from high school students – non-voters – instead of the taxpayers, homeowners and business people affected by our critical issues. She would rather a high school teacher conduct 'the event' rather than an experienced moderator!"
"We did this piece to call her out on the fact that she is avoiding the debates," Teztner said. "It was delivered to people's doors on Sept. 17."
Tetzner had a graphic designer, ScanlonDesign of Massachusetts, begin laying out an advertisement on Sept. 1, he said. The final advertisement was mailed Sept. 15, according to an Oct. 14 letter from art director Franis Scanlon, which he provided to the Independent.
"Tetzner was accusing me of refusing to have debates," Tanzi said in an interview. "I don't have the thousands of dollars to send out mailers to contradict the things he has asserted. I'm concerned people will think I'm not willing to debate him; which couldn't be further from the truth."
Tanzi said in mid-September, a "civic event or debate" was tentatively scheduled – and promoted on the school's website – to be held Oct. 8 from 3 to 6 p.m. University of Rhode Island Political Science Professor Maureen Moakley was scheduled to moderate. Tetzner later said he was not contacted before the planning had begun to confirm and was not available at that time.
"The idea was to engage the students, and everyone at the school seemed to like the idea," Tanzi said in an interview this week. After the students met with us [in a classroom setting], they were supposed to come up with some questions to get a debate going."
Tanzi confirmed high school senior Glenn Yu took the lead in the planning. In a letter to the editor sent to the Independent (see page A7), Yu alleged Tony Pesaturo, Tetzner's campaign manager, "ridiculed" him when he tried to set up the forum.
"On September 17, I called Tanzi who was eager to debate Tetzner," Yu wrote. "The date seemed set; all that was needed was confirmation from Tetzner. That night, I called Tetzner's campaign adviser, Tony Pesaturo; I explained to him I was calling on behalf of the school and I was trying to plan a debate for Tetzner and Tanzi, something that Tetzner has continually asked for."
"Upon calling Pesaturo, it seemed that Tetzner did not want a debate," Yu continued in his letter. "[Pesaturo] told me how demeaning it was that a student "would have the nerve to call [him]." To this, I reacted calmly and told him that there was no need to be rude, to which he laughed at me and ridiculed me further."
Yu maintains Pesaturo called him back mistakenly, and was again rude.
"I told him that he was alienating his own voters by disrespecting me," Yu wrote. "He responded I was only in high school and could not vote. To that, I responded "I'm not an orphan. I have parents that can vote."
Yu contacted Tetzner the following evening, and the candidate apologized for Pestaturo's actions, Yu wrote.
"[Pesaturo] said when [Yu] called [him], he never identified himself as being a high school student," Tetzner said in an interview with the Independent. "He just said [Yu} called me and said 'I'm calling you about the debate Oct. 8.' And Tony said, 'What debate? What are you talking about.' He thought it was a prank call."
In his letter, Yu said he received Tetzner's campaign mailer Sept. 19, two days after Yu had contacted Pesaturo.
"Two days after the call, I had made to Tetzner, a flier was sent to my house," Yu wrote. "[I]n his defense, he had sent the flier before he had all of the details of the debate and believed that the debate was to be hosted by a high school civics teacher. Yet, Tetzner, since sending the flier, has not made an attempt to correct his statement. Moreover, he had just informed me a few days earlier that he would prefer a civics teacher over [University of Rhode Island] Professor Moakley."
In his letter, Yu said Tetzner told him he would not debate Tanzi because he did not think Moakley "was professional enough."
In the interview, Tetner said a debate offers a chance for candidates to respond to each other's comments, rather than a forum or civic event-style forum, where a moderator asks questions of candidates, and no direct challenges to answers are allowed. He preferred the debate style and said a "civic event," should be for students only and not open to the public. He added he did not believe Moakley would be an acceptable moderator and provided Yu and the Independent with a list of "professional moderators" he would find acceptable, which included Mark Curtis from ABC6 and WPRI's Ted Nesi.
In the letter, Yu took issue with Tetzner's assertion that high school "non-voters" were not as important as "taxpayers, homeowners and businesspeople."
"The fact was that the students in our school had put in hours of research into creating questions for the debate, time which will not be given back to them," Yu said. "The students (future taxpayers, homeowners and businesspeople) were to create questions which would be debated in front of adults and members of the community."
On Sept. 23, Tetzner claimed South Kingstown High School Principal Robert McCarthy canceled the potential event, and ended any possibility of a debate. McCarthy did not respond to a request for comment by press time.
"Everyone, the school, the students, the teachers, were hurt and outraged at the way they were treated," Tanzi said. "They pulled out of the debate before [there was] any further conflict."
Tetzner spent nearly $40K on House campaign in three months
By Stephanie Turaj and Stephen Greenwell Staff Writers, South County Independent 10/16/14
Spending in the race for House District 34, representing Narragansett, Peace Dale and Wakefield, continues to surpass all others in the area, with Republican challenger Steve Tetzner spending nearly $40,000 during the latest reporting period, July 1 to Oct. 6.
Tetzner added $30,965 to his campaign fund in the cycle. The majority comes from a $24,500 personal loan to his campaign. Tetzner also received a $125 contribution from the House Republican Leadership PAC.
He began the reporting period with $10,012.11 on hand and spent $39,757.18, mostly on advertising. He has a cash balance of $1,074. Since Jan. 1, Tetzner has spent more than $73,000 on his campaign.
Teresa Tanzi, the Democrat incumbent, started the period with $4,140.79 on hand, and reported $10,060 in individual donations, $2,750 from political action committees and $3,843 from aggregate individual donations.
Individual $100 to $250 donors to Tanzi's campaign include Kathleen Fogarty, South County Hospital's President and CEO Louis R. Giancola, East Greenwich School Committee member and Rhode Island National Organization for Women president Carolyn Mark, Democrat state treasurer candidate Seth Magaziner, former House District Representative Michael Rice, House District 36 Representative Donna Walsh, and former Democrat gubernatorial candidate Myrth York.
Tanzi also received contributions from the Amalgamated Transit Union PAC ($300), Emily's List Rhode Island ($200), Gina PAC ($200), the National Association of Social Workers of Rhode Island ($125), the Rhode Island Medical PAC ($200), the Rhode Island Progressive Democrats of America ($125), the United Food and Commercial Workers PAC ($500), the United Nurses and Allied Professionals PAC ($500), the Utility Workers Union of America PAC ($200), and the Young Democrats of Rhode Island PAC ($400).
Tanzi spent $4,198.79 between July 1 and Oct. 6, mostly on advertising. She ended the period with $16,595 on hand.

Sin City
Sin City is the title for a series of neo-noir comics by Frank Miller. The first story originally appeared in "Dark Horse Presents Fifth Anniversary Special" (April, 1991), and continued in Dark Horse Presents #51–62 from May 1991 to June 1992, under the title of Sin City, serialized in thirteen parts. Several other stories of variable lengths have followed. All stories take place in Basin City, with frequent recurring characters and intertwining stories.
A movie adaptation of Sin City, co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller with "special guest director" Quentin Tarantino, was released on April 1, 2005. A planned sequel was announced soon after, but has since been delayed indefinitely.

Japan's number three ranking was hotly disputed by some critics, who noted that Japan had been unable to sustain a great early run of victories. Japan did surprise America early in the season in an on-the-road win at Pearl Harbor, but Japan had the advantage of having already scored several easy wins over such lesser foes as Manchuria and China, whereas the game at Pearl Harbor was America's opening game; most people agree that the Americans simply were not ready and were surprised by Japan's spread offense.
However, after several coaching changes and roster moves, America came on strong in the second half and, in an unusual re-match with Japan to close out the season the Americans unleased a second half aerial assault masterminded by Curtis LeMay to devastate Japan. Some observers criticized LeMay for allegedly running up the score in the fourth quarter (one critic compared it to dropping a second atomic bomb), but LeMay said that if Japan couldn't take it then the Japanese should never have put America on their schedule. American assistant head coach MacArthur (one of several assistants who allegedly have been trying to gain the top coaching spot) insists America could defeat anyone.
Italy began the season highly ranked and an easy win over out matched Ethiopa seemed to justify the ranking, but the Italian team then largely collapsed, dismissed its head coach, and then tried to switch conferences.
Switzerland (0-0) finished the season in the top ten even though the Swiss played no one. Germany's Hitler explained his decision not to play the Swiss by noting that the Swiss insist that any game be played at home and that there would be nothing to gain for a large school such as Germany playing a small independent such as Switzerland.

Teams caught up to Germany's blitzing tactics.
Japan had an early aerial advantage but injuries at Midway caused them to have to play backups and rely on defense.
Teach tolerance.
It also didn't help Germany that inter-divisional rivals had a deeper bench of reserve players. Manpower issues wore on them down the stretch.

I simply don't have access to a "cares about RBI" place in my psyche. There is a "mildly curious about OBI%" alcove just before the acid filled lake guarded by robot snipers with lasers which leads to the "cares about RBI" antechamber though. - Nate
Let's not forget the complete collapse of the Italian team. Poor coaching decisions and a lack of buy in by the players really cost them. They didn't have a tough schedule as they managed to not go up against either Germany or Russia. The U.S was not considered to be an opponent until a last minute schedule rework of the season.

It also didn't help that some of their D-backs deep in China decided to shovel passes to the other team (us).

"panic" only comes from having real expectations
It is hard to justify France's number two ranking. Yes, France had only one loss, but in that early season game against Germany the French team started punting on first down rather than try to score against Germany.
When asked during the game what adjustments he could make to counter Germany's blitz French Coach Gamelin reportedly said: "Aucune," i.e., "there is none."
Later in the season new French Coach DeGaulle spent most of his time trying to tell the American and English teams how to play and then attempted to take the credit for their victories.

Everyone knows it's all about the O-line and the D-line; and not about the Maginot Line.
The only reason the Russians were able to hold on in Stalingrad and drive the Germans out was home field advantage. If the siege had been held on a neutral site it could have been a completely different outcome.

They came barreling into the Big East with plenty of pump. But in 2010 Charlie Strong will be the third coach to start a season with the Louisville Cardinals in five years. First meeting: 2000 (2005 was the first meeting as a member of the Big East)
Louisville last season: 4-8 overall, 1-6 Big East.
Defensively, well, Louisville has always been considered an offensive team but that might change under Strong. He's a proponent of focusing the strength of the defense around linebacker. Dexter Heyman, Brandon Heath and Antwon Canady are an experienced crew.
The UConn-Louisville rivalry: UConn has won the past three meetings. The games have been quite eventful. Perhaps the wildest was 2007: That was The Fair Catch Game when an official had his head turned when UConn punt returner Larry Taylor signaled for a fair catch. Taylor caught the ball and took it the distance untouched. The Cardinals said they saw the fair catch signal so they let up.
The Huskies won that game 21-17 and Louisville fans won't forget. Even in 2008, when the Huskies scored a huge Big East victory on the road in Louisville, 2007 became the topic again. Another memory: When the Huskies last played Louisville Oct.17, 2009 at Rentschler Field, it would be Jasper Howard's last game. He would be killed early the next morning.
What's at stake? Surely the Cards would like to put an end to the three-game losing streak but they have bigger fish to fry in that they need to start winning some games.
The Louisville Schedule: The Cardinals go to Oregon State for a non-league game Sept. 18. Corvallis can be a scary place for visiting freshman.

Prismacolor pencils in Germany
For all German readers of this forum this might be a useful tip:
Today I discovered that the Sanford KARISMA pencils are sold at Boesner (http:// www.boesner.com) and they seem to be the same as the Prismacolors since the manufacturer is Sanford/Berol and they are made in the US. They have a waxy feeling and I have ordered original Prismacolors via eBay to verify this.
Maybe useful to some of you?
