Thoughts on Zatkoff vs. Greiss, the issue of tanking, the New Jersey Devils and more …
Back from vacation, but not really. Drance is enjoying sunny Cancun and I couldn't find a replacement for him. So with me camping with the wife and kids…I have these ramblings prepared in advance. I'm back Sunday, so the Monday ramblings will be fresh - not that you need them to be all that updated in mid-August…as if you needed my fast take on the Kyle Beach news (he signed to play in Austria).
Ah Beach. I remember having him too low on my Prospects Rankings and it drove some of the readers nuts. From age 18 to 20, he was too low and that was consistently the biggest criticism at the time. It just goes to show - these are prospects, and the ones who take the longest to make the jump are also the bigger risks. Beach, as a power forward in a deep Chicago system, was five years away at best. Easy to keep out of the Top 200 list.
I guess it was just my instinct that caused me to assume that Thomas Greiss will be the backup for the Penguins this year. After all, he's a really good goaltender who is somewhat proven and was signed by the new Pittsburgh management (i.e. Jim Rutherford). But I'm reminded that Zatkoff was actually an underrated goaltender in his own right and he played fantastic in a backup role last season. He is also on a one-way contract - though it was signed with the old management regime. My money is still on Greiss, but Zatkoff shouldn't be counted out. The fact that his contract is for two years hints to me that the Pens are hoping that Greiss can show 'starter' ability and that in 2015-16 they would have a Greiss-Zatkoff tandem.
Is the NHL taking the first step towards preventing the use of their stats for things like pool managing sites and advanced stats sites, as well as other tools like Frozen Pool? Puck Daddy makes note of a change in NHL.com's Terms of Service. A snippet of the wording:
"You may not - Engage in unauthorized spidering, scraping, or harvesting of content or information, or use any other unauthorized automated means to compile information;"
MLB tried to claim rights over their stats against fantasy baseball - and lost the court battle. But had they won, they would not like the results. Sure, some of the big sites would pay the "rights fees" to run fantasy baseball…but if all the little guys bow out, fantasy baseball takes a big hit. And, by extension, so would TV ratings. Most fantasy owners enjoy watching their players on TV. If it's difficult or more expensive to play fantasy sports…they won't play anymore. Which means they won't watch the games, other than their favorite team. In the end, the sport's growth would stop, and the revenue lost would not make up for the revenue gained by selling "rights". The NFL has this right, and I thought the NHL did too. Here's hoping!
The issue of tanking comes up all the time in fantasy hockey. Occasionally it comes up with the real NHL too, though not as much now that we have the draft lottery. But in seasons such as the one we are about to enter, it becomes a hot topic. The Connor McDavid year. This is a generational superstar (potentially) along the same lines as Crosby, Malkin and Ovechkin. It's not your typical year (Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov) and it's not your exceptional year (John Tavares, Nathan MacKinnon). This is your Crosby year. I already decided six months ago that when the 2014-15 season is over, I would offer Anze Kopitar to the owner with the top pick. Because even if it doesn't work out, you have to take a chance on getting a Crosby at a pre-Crosby price and I'll go bold to get the deal done.
As for tanking and the moral implications - who cares? I'm all for tanking in fantasy hockey. Do whatever you can for a better team and if you and another team are destroying yourselves for that top draft spot, then good luck. One team will ruin themselves for a Mike Modano-type (Jack Eichel), the other team will do it for the Crosby-type. Either way, the cost of tanking will be two or three more years of recovery. If you want to suffer through what could be four years of bad teams in total, then you've earned the glory of having a good team led by a superstar for the six or seven years that follow. Zero problem with tanking. Although, in my league there are several rules in place to discourage it enough that - if you really want to tank you either a) have a bad team anyway and tanking doesn't take much effort and/or b) it's a McDavid year. These rules that I have are:
1. The Bottom 5 teams in the league can't compete in the playoffs - so no money can be won in the postseason for those owners.
2. The Bottom 5 teams compete with each other in the playoffs. The playoff points that their players have are removed from the regular season totals, giving the those teams a shot at the top draft pick if their playoff players perform well enough.
Lou Lamoriello on Ilya Kovalchuk's potential return to the Devils (in case, for some nutty reason, you were holding out hope):
"I'll answer that the best way you can. He cannot come back until he is 35. He's (31) now. You'd never look at someone coming back at 35 when he's (31)."
Funny quote in the above NJ article from owner Josh Harris:
"It was a disappointing season. I see it. I was unhappy. I didn't like being home watching the playoffs on TV. I wanted to be in the playoffs. That's not lost on me. At the same time, good people and good systems can have disappointing years. We're long term. We're focused on making this a great franchise over the long term."
Mr. Harris, are you paying attention to your club? The key players on it are Jaromir Jagr, Patrik Elias and Marek Zidlicky. You patch up your offensive needs by signing the likes of Mike Cammalleri and Ryane Clowe. You draft guys like Stefan Matteau and the only forward in your pipeline with anywhere near top-six upside is Reid Boucher. Long term? Bullshit. You have a quality young(ish) goaltender and several great young defensemen on the way - but your forwards are a mess and there is nothing on the way that will help this. I was just writing about the issue of "tanking" above - you guys should look into it, seriously. McDavid would save you!
Former DobberHockey writer Chris Burns and his struggle with depression:
Overall I don't see it worth the risk. We had a guy tank for Yakupov, still hasn't paid off, maybe never will.

Miniature Roses
Miniature roses are perfection on a small scale. They grow well indoors or out and are useful colorful plantings in areas where space is limited. Miniature Roses are represented by twiggy, repeat-flowering shrubs ranging from 6" to 36" in height, with most falling in the 12"–24" height range. Climbing varieties can reach up to 5' tall while still bearing tiny flowers. Blooms come in all the hybrid tea colors; many varieties also emulate the classic high-centered hybrid tea flower shape and can be found as single, semi-double, double or in clustered form. Miniature roses are great in containers, make lovely borders, and are perfect for those with a small yard or balcony.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely, lovely book!,
C. J. Thompson "Arctic John" (Pond Inlet, Nunavut Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sharks Fin and Sichuan Pepper: A Sweet Sour Memoir Of Eating In China (Paperback)
Okay ... after reading Land of Plenty: A Treasury of Authentic Sichuan Cooking and Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook: Recipes from Hunan Province by Fuschia Dunlop (and reviewing them at Amazon), I decided that I was going to marry here without further delay.... Sadly, my wife stepped in and said I wasn't allowed to. To assuage my disappointment, I had to console myself with merely reading her latest work ...
Well, it is excellent.... that's about all I can say.
In truth the book won't appeal to an audience much beyond fairly hard-core 'foodies' but that seems to be an increasing segment of the population these days so I hope Ms Dunlop reaps the financial benefits she deserves from this book. She, herself, only describes this book as a memoir of 'eating in China' but it is a lot more than that... It is a thoroughly informative and entertaining look at one chef's experiences interspersed with some insightful observations about the food culture in the east and west, and the interplay between them....
A great read!
C John Thompson
5.0 out of 5 stars Food and travel together; what could be better!,
This review is from: Sharks Fin and Sichuan Pepper: A Sweet Sour Memoir Of Eating In China (Hardcover)
This book is a must-read for foodies who like travel and for traveler who love food. A well-written memoir, funny, engaging description of Fucshia`s life in Sichuan.
Cookbooks by the same author are also fantastic.

Light-weight Markdown-based literate programming
Thus, programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.
-- Hal Abelson, SICP
Writ is an attempt to enable a light-weight literate programming workflow.
You write Markdown files with your code in normal Markdown code blocks (indented or fenced) and then run the writ command to compile to source files your language's compiler or interpreter will understand.
Writ expects a one-to-one mapping between Markdown source files and
source files in the target language, and uses a simple extension-based
convention for generating the target files: a Markdown file named
foo.js.md or
foo.js.markdown will generate a
foo.js file.
Writ is available on npm.
npm install -g writ
To use it, just run
writ from the command line, specifying which
Markdown files you want to compile. By default, it compiles the output in
the same directory, you can pass the
--dir flag to specify a different
destination directory:
writ "src/*.md" --dir build
In the simplest case, if your code is completely straight-line, top-to-bottom, you don't need to know any syntax: writ will generate the target file by concatenating all the code blocks in the order they appear. This is exactly how literate CoffeeScript works.
For slightly more involved cases, writ supports 3 bits of syntax:
//!! .*[ !!//] for ignoring a code block
//== name[ ==//] for naming a code block
//:: name[ :://] for including a code block
// bits are configurable and are defaulted to the single-line comment
token for your language.
The 'closing tags' (
==//, and
:://) are optional, but must match
the opening tag if present.
To keep a code block from being included in the generated output, start the code block with a line starting with:
//!! This is an ignored code block
A named code block is any code block in the document that starts with a line of the form:
//== name[ ==//]
You can later (or earlier) include that code in another block by dereferencing
it with
So the following Markdown:
# Main code chunk
//:: requires :://
//== requires ==//
var marked = require('marked');
var fs = require('fs');
Would compile to:
var marked = require'marked';var fs = require'fs';
A name for sections can have internal whitespace, but it obviously should match up exactly when dereferencing names.
A few things to note about named sections:
Named sections that are never referenced by a 'top-level' code block won't show up in the compiled output.
If a name is referenced that doesn't exist, that comment line will remain as-is in the compiled output.
Named sections can refer to other named sections, and writ will whine if it has to recurse more than 50 times when compiling.
If you have multiple named sections with the same name, they'll get concatenated together in the order they appear in the source.
writ.js.md for the source.
If you build something using writ, send a pull request adding a link to your library.

ETC.: The bistro is usually closed on Mondays but will be open for Valentine's Day for two seatings, one at 6 p.m. and the other at 8:30 p.m. To be offered will be a caprese salad and a choice of entrees (filet mignon, rack of lamb and sea bass), and a dessert. Cost is $65 per person, reservations required. DRESS: Business casual INFORMATION: 940-691-9800
You get what you pay for, and when it comes to a romantic dinner, guys can expect to contribute their share to the local tax base.
Just in case my fellow guys haven't realized it yet, we're in the middle of the romantic dinner season, considering Valentine's Day is just around the corner.
Relationships depend on a certain amount of wooing, along with showing your confidence in the economy, even in troubled economic times.
As my contribution to the local tax base, I took the wife to the Salt & Pepper Mediterranean Bistro in Century Plaza, off Maplewood.
Reservations are important if you plan to visit the bistro, otherwise you'll be one of those sad saps who has to sit and wait for an opening. You know the ones. They're the defeated-looking animals you see as you make your way to the bathroom.
Our hostess sat us at a table for four. In fact, the majority of tables accommodate a family of four, which is interesting, since the relaxed, romantic atmosphere might have patrons thinking about adding to their family when they leave.
From the time I sat down until we were ready to go home, I was impressed with Salt & Pepper.
I was especially impressed with the aloof, yet attentive and hilarious waiter who nearly floored me with his "give us this day" comment as he served our bread.
We started our Greek/Mediterranean adventure with an appetizer of dolmades. Since I was in the mood for trying new things this particular evening, I embraced the "when in Rome" mantra.
Dolmades are grape leaves stuffed with beef and rice. The flavor is pleasantly surprising. It wasn't an instantly overwhelming taste, because the grape leaves have a flat flavor that goes well with the seasonings of the beef and rice. The dolmades included sliced tomatoes and onions and a small block of cheese. I don't particularly care for cheese, but my wife said it was enjoyable.
For the main course, I dug into my filet mignon, and my better half selected the shrimp a la Mykonos. She partnered her meal with a glass of blush wine; I tackled the beer. For those who haven't had a chance try Fix, a Greek beer brewed in Pennsylvania, give it a shot. Its crisp, light flavor is a little different from most domestic beers.
My filet, topped with a Gorgonzola prosciutto, was cooked medium and tasty as heck. I was there for the steak, but the chef found it appropriate to pair my meat with thick-cut, Greek-style potatoes — never a bad call — and asparagus.
The shrimp was just as excellent, according to my wife. The row of about eight shrimp was layered on top of rice (not long grain, though; basmati, maybe?).
If I have to make a criticism, it would be with the vegetables served on the shrimp plate. My better half said the vegetables weren't fresh and thought they might have been something out of a bag or can.
Since canned vegetables are the veggies I prefer (doesn't every guy prefer canned?), I didn't see it as that big of a deal. But for the price, you've got to go with fresh.
After we polished off our plates, we finished our meal with a cup of coffee and a slice of chocolate ganache cake — mmm, delicious. Pile it on, right?
The joys of a full belly can come with the slight terror-of-check fear. But I felt like I got what I paid for.
I had a great evening with my best friend, both of us looking to return to try a lot more of what Salt & Pepper has to offer.
By the way, the bistro will be open for two seatings on Valentine's Day (reservations required) at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. and will serve a choice of filet mignon, rack of lamb or sea bass.

Don't be shy
Let's start with the nutshell: I'm a driven, outgoing, goofy and caring person. Balance is important to me; I have a healthy love affair with little black dresses, cowboy boots and South Park. I'm just as happy doing a DIY project as I am going out and exploring a new spot. My special talents include being able to fall asleep anywhere and being able to talk to anyone. And if that wasn't enough, here's some more: I'm a former college athlete and have played sports all my life. Needless to say j can be pretty competitive, in a fun way! Stupid challenge to eat six crackers in less than a minute anyone? Generally, I satisfy my competitive nature at the gym doing Crossfit or running. In the winter I enjoy snowboarding and in the summer it's surfing. However, football is the only sport i religiously watch on TV. As America's greatest sport, I believe it was specifically scheduled to reduce the tragedy that is summer's end. Do I mourn the end of summer and going to the beach, or do I celebrate the beginning of football season and fantasy leagues? I'll go for the latter. Cooking and experimenting in the kitchen are one of my favorite hobbies, probably because I love to eat. Although my kitchen is small, it's always a pleasure to share it and create a delicious meal with someone else. And even if it's not so delicious I'll eat it just because we made it! I've been lucky enough to live in Paris, work in Belgium and galavant around Europe more than once. Adventure vacations are more my style than sitting on a beach all day but I won't turn it down...as long as there are water sports! I'd really like to go on a safari in Africa, cave diving in Australia or hiking in South America next. Who am I looking for? I don't have a particular "type" but I tend to be attracted to active and strong-minded people. I have opinions and convictions will undoubtedly share them, hopefully you do too! Let's discuss them and maybe even start a debate. Ideally, I'd like someone who's caring and honest, with whom I can grow. Someone I can be my regular good self with and who wants to learn from each other and makes me a better person. Ultimately, my best friend who I cannot imagine living without.

Restructuring software to improve its design can lower software maintenance costs. One problem encountered during restructuring is formulating the new design. A meaning-preserving program restructuring tool with a star diagram manipulable visualization can help a programmer redesign a program based on abstract data types. However, the transformational support required for meaning-preserving restructuring is costly to provide. Also, programmers encounter comprehension and recall difficulties in complex restructuring tasks. Consequently, transformations were replaced with visual and organizational aids that help a programmer to plan and carry out a complex restructuring. For example, a star diagram manipulation called trimming was added, which mimics the way that basic restructuring transformations affect the star diagram display, allowing a programmer to plan a restructuring without depending upon restructuring transformations. With the ability to annotate trimmed star diagram components, plans can be recorded and later recalled. Programmer-controlled elision was added to help remove clutter from star diagram views. We implemented a star diagram planning tool for C programs, measured its elision capabilities, and performed a programmer study. We found that elision is effective in controlling star diagram size, and the study revealed that each programming team successfully planned its restructuring in rather different, unanticipated ways. These experiments resulted in important improvements in the tool's software design and user interface

Giving so others can learn... Rad-Tech program receives equipment
A recent donation to Meridian Community College's Radiologic Technology Program could be described as a gift that keeps on giving. Anderson Regional Medical Center donated usedSiemens Radiographic equipment to the College for students to gain valuablehands-on experience as they prepare for positions in entry-level radiography.
The unit was recently in use at the hospital, explained Dale Holyfield, director of radiology at ARMC. MCC President Dr. Scott Elliott added the very valuable donation offers a "seamless transition from here to the real world."
"This really strengthens our own program," Elliott added.
The mission of the Meridian Community College Radiologic Technology Program is to prepare competent, entry-level radiographers able to function within the healthcare community. A large component of training is hands-on lab practice that prepares students for clinical experience in affiliated healthcare settings. MCC has been fortunate to have two active labs and a portable x-ray machine for students to safely practice radiographic procedures. This gift replaces a much older machine that is no longer representative of today's equipment, so there is little difference between lab practice and clinical practice.
Holyfield said the College trains a majority of their radiological technologists that Anderson employs. "We find the technologists are well-trained and continually meet our needs. The program supports us and we want to support it," he said.
Anderson Regional Medical Center announces the opening of the area's only CHF Management Center on the Anderson- South Campus.
Congestive heart failure affects over 5 million Americans each year, with symptoms resulting in debilitating fatigue, shortness of breath and dependent edema, all of which limit lifestyle choices and can cause frequent hospitalizations.
Anderson CHF Management Center offers a valuable service to patients with congestive heart failure by providing education and close follow-up. The CHF Management Center staff, led by Wesley S. Bennett, MD, FACC, and Joan Griffin, RN, BS, closely monitors weight and fluid intake, makes adjustment to medications if needed, administers IV medications and provides dietary counseling, all with physician direction. This treatment program is designed to improve the quality and length of life for patients with CHF.
"Anderson CHF Management Center is another example of our mission to improve the lives of the people we serve," said Ray Humphreys, President and CEO of Anderson. "This is a service that we are proud to bring to the people of Meridian and the surrounding region," said John Anderson, Vice President of Anderson- South.
For more information about Anderson CHF Management Center, please call 601-703-5700. A physician referral is required for treatment.
From WTOK-TV August 2, 2012
In today's economy, a big concern for many people is just getting a job. In Meridian, the healthcare industry is the largest job provider.
With almost 19 percent of jobs here being healthcare related, local officials project that the new Health Small Learning Community at Meridian High School will give students an advantage.
The healthcare industry provides over 6,000 jobs in Meridian and is by far the largest employer. With well over 40 occupational opportunities in healthcare, officials from local hospitals are praising Meridian High's new program.
"We think it's going to give them an edge on education and learning," said Rush Hospital's Donnie Smith. "When people get involved in something they are interested in, they'll learn better."
"For these students to get that much exposure to healthcare it can prepare them mentally for the training program that they might go into to advance their career," said Ray Humphreys of Anderson Hospital.
Both Rush and Anderson hospitals are partnering with Meridian High for the new Health Small Learning Community.
The classrooms have equipment and other supplies that the hospitals have provided for the program. Officials say what is truly invaluable is the expertise that workers from those facilities will share with employees and students.
"Some of our people who are experts in certain areas like lab, radiology and nursing will be used as instructors from time to time," Humphreys said.
"This is a win-win situation for the hospitals in Meridian and also the students," said Smith.
The Health Small Learning Community will officially open when school starts Monday, Aug. 6. Superintendent Dr. Alvin Taylor says preparations are already underway for the opening of the school's next small learning communities. "The ones we're looking at now are our STEM programs which are: science, technology, engineering and math, as well as our visual performing arts learning center," said Taylor. Taylor says the district hopes to open two other small learning communities next year. He says the plan is to have all of Meridian High School divided into different schools of discipline within the next two to three years.
Meridian is one of only two school districts in Mississippi to have a Health Small Learning Community. The other district is in Rankin County.

It makes a nice statement in my livingroom. It is holding up well with three kids and a dog. The bursts make for a nice texture when you are walking on it and I haven't had any problems with them being loose or coming out like other people have commented. The short fibers from the carpet itself shed a little, but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall a great value for your money. I would definately buy another one.
Ordered on Saturday, arrived on Wednesday! I am incredibly happy with this rug.I was concerned about quality, I am very picky with rugs and don't like the non-tactile shopping experience, but overstock delivered with a great quality rug. Perfect plushness, with raised knotted sunbursts.Beware all, I saw the picture and I picked the rug, but the pattern was still a shock when I rolled it out. Maybe the sunbursts seemed bigger in real life, but in a good way in the end, definitely pushed the room to the modern side.The background colour is very creamy though, so you have to be ready and want to buy a Cream rug first, then a couple of bold sunbursts thrown in.
Very soft and plush! The background color may be a shade lighter than pictured, but otherwise the picture is accurate.
Used under kitchen table. Looks beautiful. A bit rough on the feet on patterns but fun and beautiful.
Love the square shape and the unique pattern! Quality is A-One.
This rug by far is the greatest. Soft colors and will go with any decor. Made very well.
I love this rug! It is a huge statement piece for a room. It needs to be seen ... so not the best idea to put a dining set or other piece of furniture on top of it. The starbursts are textural and raised and shimmery! Just a lovely piece. The background is more beige than the cream or gold in the picture. Very contemporary piece if that is what you seek :-)
I loved this rug when I first saw it at our Home Decorators store but it was outside of my budget. I was skeptical when I found it on Overstock. This ended up being the same exact product but much more reasonably priced! This is neutral but "fun" and unique. I love the 3D design.

Hillary Clinton book goes far and near
Posted: June 7, 2014 at 4:22 a.m.
In her memoir Hard Choices, Hillary Rodham Clinton writes about the United States' troubled "reset" with Russia, says her vote authorizing the war in Iraq was "wrong," calls Syria a "wicked problem" and provides a timetable of the raid that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, according to CBS News, which obtained a copy of the book before its scheduled publication next week.

Looking for anything on my great grandfather's family
Journal by CAnnon
Looking for anything on my great grandfather's family. His name is John Henry Annon. He was maried to Anna Mariah Rhinehart Annon. They live in or around Crooksville, OH. I do know that John was born in 1877 and Anna in 1883. I am looking for family past that. I'm just a lost pup trying to find home.

Hope you have all started this school year off with happy and healthy habits! I know that we all have great intentions with the start of every new school year, but sometimes we get side-tracked, right around October, when the IEPs and assessments really start to pile on. I really want you all to remember to take care of your own mental and physical health first and foremost; don't throw it all out the window like many of us so often do. Always put your own oxygen mask on first, so you can breath, as you do the same for all your students, staff, parents, and colleagues!
As OCASP president this year, I'm very excited for our upcoming workshops. Our Fall workshop will be on Assessing English Language Learners by Dr. Pedro Olvera. Our Winter workshop will be a new format, a full day student workshop where we will include resume help, mock interviews, and have speakers sharing good advice, tips and tricks as well. Our Spring workshop will feature the topic of Positive Psychology/Well Being presented by Dr. Griffiths. All very hot topics in our field right now, so I hope you can all make it.
Something new we will be hosting this year will be happy hour events after each of our workshops. This will be a time to socialize, relax, network, chit chat and just be merry with our fellow OCASP members and school psychs. So definitely come join us and expand your circle of support. Details to follow.
This year, just like in past years, OCASP wants to promote great learning opportunities to help us continue to improve our professional practice; and for the overall betterment of the field of education. We are all advocates for our students and the more we are happy, healthy, and have the most current training in our profession, the more our students will benefit now, and for years to come.
Hope you all have a wonderful school year and hope to meet you soon at an upcoming workshop!
Dr. Tajara Ross, President OCASP

Product description
This book is the most acute, informed, and up-to-date account available today of Ukraine and its people. Andrew Wilson brings his classic work up to the present, through the Orange Revolution and its aftermath, including the 2006 election, the ensuing crisis of 2007, the Ukrainian response to the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008, the economic crisis in Ukraine, and the 2009 gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine. It looks forward to the key election in 2010, which will revisit many of the issues that were thought settled in 2004. Praise for earlier editions: "Marvelous...A perfect introduction to a fascinating culture: strongly recommended." --Library Journal "[A] sweeping introductory examination of Ukrainian identity and history...An exceptional history, the kind that supplies not pat answers but food for thought within a lush context of documented and mythological past."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A guy in LA who actually ISN'T a douchebag! (OMG!)
So, I used to have a big, long description of myself here and, frankly, I got sick of it. I think it's really hard for anyone to summarize themselves even with 4000 characters. We're all complex creatures, after all! Plus, it's difficult to take an objective view of oneself. I've seen jerks describe themselves as friendly, liars as sincere, ugly people as "sexy," etc. etc. It's gotta be REALLY tough for you ladies on sites like these where a picture and a paragraph is all you have to go on. So, here's what I came up with: I'm not going to prattle on and on about what I think of myself or my hobbies and instead I'll just describe how I behave and how people react to me and treat me. That way, you'll have a good idea of what I'm like to be around in real life. Sound good? Cool! When I go out, I usually don't go alone unless it's for something practical like grocery shopping or work. The friends I keep vary in their personalities and interests, but I make sure they're all good, trustworthy people who are genuine and fun-loving. I absolutely refuse to allow negative, rude, or bossy people into my social circle. When we go out, I tend to be the quiet one of the bunch. Sometimes it's mistaken for shyness but I really just prefer to listen to other people rather than try to gain the most attention. When I DO speak up, even if there are multiple conversations going on, everyone stops to listen to what I have to say. If they all want to go do one thing and I'd rather do something else with them, they'll usually change the plan to accommodate me. I'd do the same for any of them ;) I'm a martial artist (black belt in karate) and I'm an instructor. In that environment, I tend to be silly, funny, and outspoken to get the kids we teach to pay attention but I'm treated as a leader whether I'm running the class or standing as a student amongst the adults. With people I'm comfortable around, I'm cheerful and positive. I'll say anything to put a smile on someone's face and I love connecting with people on an emotional level. If the conversation takes a negative turn, I try to find something good to latch onto and swing everyone back into a good mood. I'm sort of like Jim Carrey in "The 'Yes' Man" in that I love trying new things and (unless I'm too busy) I'll jump at the chance to go do something new, especially if it means spending time with someone cool. Thanks for reading this!

I'm into all sorts TV shows. I like Supernatural, The Daily Show/Colbert Report, The Vampire Diaries (which is kind of a source of shame), and various anime such as Bleach, Naruto, and Death Note. Anything with Gordon Ramsay is fun too.
I love video games/tv, golfing (warning: I SUCK at it!), tennis (see "golfing"), movies, eating out (both kinds ....... yes, that IS a dirty joke), the beach, Citywalk, LA nightlife, and pretty much anything that catches my fancy.
In truth, I tend to stay away from books. I'm not much interested in them. I strongly disapprove of the belief that "people who don't read aren't very smart." In fakt, I iz mach smortar tehn MENEH peepolz!

Re: The "THESE Americans can play on it!" Clay Season thread! (First up: Houston)
Bryans Begin Quest to Beat Houston Hoodoo
Stanford ATP Doubles Race leaders Bob and Mike Bryan breezed into the quarterfinals of the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships Wednesday with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Thomas Blake and Paul Goldstein.
The Bryans improved to an impressive 24-3 on the season. They have reached the semifinals or better in every event they have played this season and in their past two tournaments reached back-to-back ATP Masters Series finals in Miami and Indian Wells.
But despite winning back-to-back Tennis Masters Cup titles in Houston, the Westside Tennis Club has not been a happy hunting ground in their three appearances there in the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships. The Bryans come into this year's tournament with a modest 2-3 record in the event in Houston, although they did reach the final of the event when it was held in Orlando in 1999.
The Bryans are chasing their third title of the year following victories at the Australian Open and in Las Vegas.

David Gordon made temporary head of New York museum
Holly Hotchner will step down as director of the Museum of Art and Design in New York City, leaving her post at the end of April. She's been with the institution for 16 years.
The museum's board of directors will begin a search for a new director in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the museum has appointed David Gordon, former director of the Milwaukee Art Museum and former secretary of the Royal Academy of Arts in London as acting director. He will take over the day-to-day management of the museum. »Read Full Blog Post
'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

The Space
Relax after a hard day of sightseeing (or work) with kitchen, laundry, internet (the essentials!) handy and available. Cable TV and wireless internet connection are provided.
The bed has fresh linens and blankets and the private bath has white fluffy towels with an assortment of travel necessities.
While we do not smoke, smoking is OK outside (only) and dogs are considered.
Guest Access
Shared space includes a well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and gas stove, dining room/desk space, and an outside deck. Note: self serve or full service laundry and drycleaning are one block away.
Interaction with Guests
My partner and I are long time San Francisco residents and live with a friendly 12 lb dog. We can toss you a key and wish you well or help you map an "insider" tour de force.
The accommodation is relaxed and comfortable: the house is 2 story and we reside in the lower level. Your room and bath share the upper level with our common areas.
While we're often on the move with busy lives (the dog included!) - I make excellent coffee. Note: the dog is a hypoallergenic breed. She has hair (doesn't shed fur) so she's great for allergy-prone guests.
The Neighborhood
Our street is tree-lined, safe and quiet. The neighborhood boasts some of San Francisco's best weather and there's a convenient bus stop nearby. Corbett Avenue at Hattie Street (our approximate location) is a five minute walk into Castro village. Easily explore multiple parks, tons of restaurants (for every taste and budget!), and the famous Castro Theatre and Mission Dolores.
The Castro Muni station is so close - why drive? I recommend that you enjoy San Francisco without a car (it's easy and cheap) but there is ample street parking with restrictions.
Getting Around
And the BEST part? This house is ideally situated for city-wide exploration!
The Castro Muni station (underground) or the historic Market F-line are a 5 minute walk (or quick bus ride).
Cable Cars, Chinatown, downtown shopping, Fisherman's Wharf, the Ferry Building, AT&T Park, the Haight and Golden Gate Park - they're all easily accessible!
Other Things to Note
We've pinned our location to the Guidebook. Zoom in to better see where our home is located.
If you rent a bike while you're visiting - lock it to our lemon tree! Our property is raised from the street and surrounded by a tall fence for added safety and deterrent protection.
No smoking inside the house.
No overnight guests without prior approval.
No drugs.
When you leave, secure the house.
If one bathroom fails, we share a bathroom until repairs can be made.
Dharma vibes welcomed.
You are 100% responsible for the bike locked to the lemon tree. :)

Bruce and Mo made my first AirBnB experience a great one. They were awesome about providing information for local sites and how to use public transformation. This was also my first trip to San Francisco, and living with locals definitely helped. They made sure to let me know I should treat this like my own home. I was free to come and go as I pleased, was invited to use to kitchen (though I never did), and my room and bathroom were clean and inviting.
The house is located about 5 minutes from both a streetcar and an underground stop, and the neighborhood is fun to walk around. I had a conference to attend downtown in the Moscone Center, and public transit was able to get me to and from there in 20-30 minutes, depending on the time of day. Even though I was here during Pride week, the neighborhood never felt crowded and it was relatively easy to get from place to place.
I loved my time here, and highly recommend it to anyone looking a more personal space to stay in than a hotel.
Absolutely no regrets staying at this ideal location; just a few minutes away from The Castro, a beautiful, charming neighbourhood, and hosts Bruce & Mo (and adorable Roxy), who were super sweet, accommodating, and just as charming themselves. Filled with suggestions, advice and knowledge about San Fran, Bruce and Mo made me feel very welcome and very comfortable to be staying in their lovely home. I would recommend to anyone, and would definitely stay here on a return trip!
Loved staying at Bruce and Mo's place. Super comfortable, and easy-going - especially for a West Coast first timer. I was totally at ease.
This space was perfect for me! Exactly as advertised, hosts were simply wonderful, walking distance to everything, sweet friendly dog, great neighborhood.
Would absolutely stay there again. Super first experience on AirBNB.
A lovely old cottage o a quiet avenue with great transport connections and vibrant village I Castro. Bruce and Mo were friendly and helpful and available when I needed them. The room and bathroom were perfect. I always had the impression I could come and go as I pleased. Definitely a place to return to. Thanks to both of them
Bruce and his partner were very welcoming and helpful. The room is small but has everything you might need for your visit. The house is a 10 min walk from MUNI and the heart of the Castro on a very beautiful street.
Bruce and Mo were very quick and responsive. They made me feel right at home right a way. The neighborhood was excellent, very safe, very nice to walk to and from, close to transport and The Castro and Market Street. The room was as described, cozy an clean . They delivered what they promised with an easy warmth and comfort, including their delightful little shnauzer, Roxy! Worth the money! I would return!

News Analysis: Context
Bush Starts Out on a 5-Week Uphill Run Concerning Iraq
By RICHARD W. STEVENSON
Published: May 25, 2004
WASHINGTON, May 24 — President Bush's speech on Monday night kicked off a critical five-week period in which the White House must not only make good on its pledge to return self-governance to the Iraqi people but also convince the American electorate that the benefits of deposing Saddam Hussein have outweighed the costs in blood, money and battered prestige.
It is a tall order. Mr. Bush spoke against the backdrop of unabated violence in Iraq, the prison abuse scandal, confusion about the plan for transferring authority to an as-yet-unnamed interim government on June 30 and the difficult negotiations concerning the role of the United Nations.
Making his task that much more complicated was the hard-fought presidential campaign, in which Mr. Bush's role as commander in chief is no longer the unalloyed strength the White House once assumed it would be.
In the hours before his address, delivered at the United States Army War College in Carlisle, Pa., Mr. Bush got a fresh reminder of just how fully his political fate is now tied to events in Iraq.
A new crop of opinion polls showed that his job approval ratings continue to fall, that Americans increasingly think the nation is on the wrong track and that most people do not think Mr. Bush has a clear plan for bringing the involvement of the United States in Iraq to a successful conclusion.
With so much of what is happening in Iraq beyond Mr. Bush's control, the five-part plan for stabilizing and rebuilding Iraq that he outlined Monday night may not unfold in the orderly manner he described.
"Did this prepare the American people for the fact that Iraqis might make different choices, that Iraq could devolve into a civil war, that what we're doing there is much less popular in Iraq than the president implies, and did he look at the downside rather than the upside?" asked Anthony Cordesman, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "The answer is no."
Mr. Bush has a plan, Mr. Cordesman said, but "it's very easy to see the plan unravel because it's not so much dependent on the quality of our plan but on the dynamics of Iraq's internal politics."
Mr. Bush made only one concrete concession to the grim reality of the past few weeks, setting out a plan to build a new high-security prison and tear down Abu Ghraib, the jail where some Iraqi prisoners were abused by their American captors and where Mr. Hussein's government had earlier tortured and killed untold numbers of its own citizens.
Otherwise, Mr. Bush stuck to the basic approach he has settled on over the past several months, betting that his steady-on strategy would ultimately be judged resolute rather than inflexible or unrealistic. He again tied what is happening in Iraq to the broader war on terror, and he warned that the attacks in Iraq would not end with the planned handover of sovereignty in five weeks, but he was optimistic about the final outcome.
"There are difficult days ahead and the way forward may sometimes appear chaotic," Mr. Bush said. "Yet our coalition is strong. Our efforts are focused and unrelenting and no power of the enemy will stop Iraq's progress."
If the five-point approach he set out covered all the bases on paper, it still risked appearing detached from the violence and chaos that has threatened to engulf Iraq and extract a heavy political price from Mr. Bush and his fellow Republicans at home. Coming into the address, Mr. Bush was clearly under pressure from within his own party as well as from Democrats to go beyond his usual counseling of patience and fortitude.
"There's a growing unease in this country and in Congress about whether we have a plan for success in Iraq," said Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine. "Even those who have been stalwart supporters of the president's decision to invade Iraq now have many questions about how we make the transition to a peaceful and democratic country."
Senator Collins said it was clear that the administration had misjudged what the United States would face once Mr. Hussein was deposed, and that this speech was critical to his efforts to maintain both domestic and international support.
"America needs to hear from the president not only his resolve, which very few people doubt, but also his plan for accomplishing what right now seem to be very difficult and daunting goals," she said before the speech.
As he presses ahead on the diplomatic and military fronts, Mr. Bush is also confronting the continued fallout from the prison abuse cases, which have expanded to encompass incidents beyond those first disclosed at Abu Ghraib and fueled intense reactions in the United States and abroad. There are sure to be continued questions about the administration's trust in Ahmad Chalabi, the Iraqi exile leader, who is under investigation for passing highly classified American intelligence to Iran.
It is uncertain whether the Iraqi people will accept as legitimate the interim government that is to be named this week by the United Nations envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, and whether that government will be subject to the same types of attacks that cost the life of, among others, Izzedin Salim, the president of the Iraqi Governing Council, who was killed by a car bomb last week. With Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis all vying for power, there is no assurance that the interim government will hold together or be able to function.
