Celebs Who Have Done Good Deeds
By Stacie Anthony
In Hollywood, no good deed goes ... unnoticed. When celebs like Tyler Perry, Zoe Saldana and Russell Brand lend a helping hand or make a generous donation, you can bet it makes front-page news. And to celebrate our star heroes, let's click through to see which of our favorite celebs have done a good deed (or more!) in 2012.
Tyler Perry
Good Deed: Donated brand-new wheels
Tyler has played a man who did "Good Deeds" on the big screen -- and now he's a real-life benefactor. After hearing news reports that Alicia Day, a woman with cerebral palsy, had her specially equipped 2000 Chrysler Town & Country stolen from her driveway in Decatur, Ga., on Sept. 30, the filmmaker generously offered to replace her van. Alicia, who uses a wheelchair, tells WSB-TV that her mother relied on her van to take her to doctor appointments and to work at Home Depot, where she is a part-time greeter. And when she heard Tyler on the phone relaying the good news, Alicia said her "mouth just dropped."

40 year old man | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking women 27-39 within 15 miles
Active within 24 hours
Life was not meant to be lived indoors!
Outgoing, motivated, open-minded and attempting to live life to the fullest. I strike a good balance between taking the daily grind seriously and when to laugh it off. I believe in both working hard and playing hard. Taking the time to stop and enjoy what life offers us is paramount. I value sincerity, a sense of humor, compassion, honesty, and generosity. I believe strongly that laughter is the key to all happiness! I love adventure - deep sea diving (scuba), skydiving and trained for the Chicago Triathlon - will try anything at least once. I'm blessed with a wonderful family and group of friends around me. When they need to 'bend an ear', I'm there. I love traveling and have been lucky enough to witness some of the most amazing sites and countries. However, I'm always looking for new places. Any suggestions for the next trip? Family is extremely important to me and feel lucky that my parents have been married for 40 years - that's the way to do it! I don't believe we can fully describe 'who we are' or 'this is my life' in these profiles. There is a lot more to me than what I can tell you here, so drop me a line. Besides, we are all much more interesting live, in-person! Most likely you are confident, witty, sense of humor (are able laugh at yourself and me), open to new experiences, enjoy going out on the town just as much as hanging on the back deck having a drink and something off the grill, you lead an active lifestyle, enjoy quiet nights at home equally to painting the town red. I enjoy hearing other's opinions, as I believe it's one of the best ways we grow - so I hope you will share yours. You live for life's challenges, enjoy the finer things in life but can pop a squat on the grass with a paper plate and no silverware. I'm seeking a woman who looks to jump at life head on, join me for new adventures, all while laughing til her cheeks hurt! I'm only an email away and look forward to hearing from you!

any differences between your m/c pregnancy and ur current pregnancy?
well mine is obvious. i bled the entire pregnancy the first time, from about 5-6 weeks to 13 weeks, when i m/c'd. This time, no blood, not even spotting and I'm now almost 17 weeks with a growing belly! Still, I get nervous all the time that it will happen again.
I only had a few cases of spotting this time around, but I was also making a concerted effort to take it very easy the first three months.

Luka Marc born 9/12/12
Now I am about 4 1/2 weeks and only have the weird metallic taste and a little fatigue (which could also be due to stopping my caffeine habit suddenly). DH keeps telling me I don't have as many symptoms yet because my hcg is so much lower than last time (600 at 4 weeks, where I was almost 400,000 at 8 weeks last time).
I'm actually feeling pretty negative about this one- it just doesn't feel like it's really real. But maybe I'm just subconsciously afraid to get excited because of what happened last time. I hope so!
With my m/c, I had no m/s. I was constipated, had full breasts and I also spotted quite a bit. I actually had a blighted ovum but didn't find out until 12 weeks. I am currently 5 weeks and still don't have any m/s, occasional constipation but absolutely no spotting (I actually kind of expect to see something every time I go to the bathroom) and my breasts don't feel as full. This pregnany, the one thing that is very different are the dreams...I never remember my dreams the next morning and didn't have any weird dreams with m/c. But now almost every morning I remember my dreams. Bizarre. My 2nd appt is at 8 weeks with u/s so I will know soon enough.
I had no morning sickness with my miscarriage. I also had a dream that I miscarried, and passed something completely not human looking. It looked like the calamari they serve at mongolian bbq.
With my daughter, and with this current pregnancy, the morning sickness is overwhelming. I feel more optimistic this time, but I'm only 6 weeks so we'll see. No bad dreams so far!
Good luck to all the pregnant ladies out there!
I had bleeding the whole time until 13 weeks when i miscarried. This time not even a spot. Feeling good! Trying not to stress!

You only live once .. Why not take a chance
I train western pleasure and hunter under saddle horses, sometimes I get to busy on the road showing that i don't get to meet new people near where I live... that's why I'm trying this.. That being said I'm a simple girl. I enjoy almost everything as long as it's in good company. I can relax at home on the coach, or go out to the movies, to play pool, dinner, whatever! I prefer to enjoy a small group of friends as opposed to crowded places, but am up for anything. I loooovvee a great steak, with grilled potatoes and corn, but also enjoy a certain selection of sushi ... I like to dress up and look nice, but rarely need more than 20/30 minutes to get ready. If that sounds like a nice compliment of country and class...then let me know and I'll tell you more. I'm a little shy at first, but once you get to know me - you won't understand why! Once I'm comfortable I am very outgoing - I can be prettty sarcastic and like to joke around. lol. My job gets me out of the house and on the road quite a bit, which is great because I love to travel and spend time with friends on the road. I'm pretty open to all kinds of food, and music. Well... anything else you want to know, just ask!

Arizona Cardinals
Clayton: Alex Smith could make a 'beeline to Arizona' if released by SF
It's now the second-longest running plot line in Arizona sports -- the Cardinals and their search for a quarterback to at least somewhat capably fill the shoes of Kurt Warner.
It's been three seasons since Warner retired from the NFL, and though they've tried six different players in the role, most believe the Cardinals are still looking that guy.
The 2013 NFL Draft is deep with names, but probably lacks a franchise-type quarterback that can fill the position for years to come.
That leaves free agency as the number-one option for the Cardinals in their search this offseason.
One of the more intriguing players who could become available is San Francisco's Alex Smith. The seven-year veteran lost his starting job to Colin Kaepernick, who helped lead the 49ers to their first Super Bowl appearance in 18 years and is clearly the quarterback of the future for their franchise. San Francisco has said they'll try to trade Smith rather than just release him and his $7.5 million salary (and $9.75 million cap hit) for 2013. They've also stated that if they can't trade Smith, they'll simply keep him -- which most believe is just posturing.
ESPN NFL insider John Clayton joined Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 Thursday, and said he believes the 49ers have a plan in place for Smith.
"Oh, they're bluffing in that way because they're trying to get trade value and in some ways, they need to get trade value because I would have to think that if he's released, he'll make a beeline to Arizona and compete against the 49ers two times a year for the next several years," Clayton said.
Smith was the first overall pick of the 2005 draft by the 49ers, and struggled for his first five years in the league. But under the tutelage of head coach Jim Harbaugh, who took over the Niners in 2011, Smith has improved greatly. The former Utah QB has thrown for 4,881 yards and 30 touchdowns with only 10 interceptions over the last two years while racking up a 19-5-1 record as a starter.
"Knowing that the 49ers probably don't want (Smith to go to a division foe), the best thing to do is hang on to him and see if you can trade him to an AFC team, maybe the Cleveland Browns -- I think the Browns would be the most interested," Clayton said.

Interview Question
Interview Answer
3 Answers
You need two stacks. You push to stack A, and pop from stack B. When B is empty, you reverse A onto B.
I think the question is to implement a stack using a queue DS.
For every push(), enqueu() in the queue. Then dequeu() every element and enqueue() the same immediately until we reach the element which was recently enqueued.
This way we maintain the queue in the form expected by the stack (LIFO)
deveffort, i guess you will have to maintain 2 queues. After the first dequeue, your queue will contain items that are needed for stack retrieval(LIFO). But any more items you want to add to this queue will mess it up unless you maintain another queue.
So retrievals are always from one queue and additions area always on a different queue.

- by Helen Phillips
About the Book
Multiple Sclerosis is an incurable disease and is becoming more and more prevalent. This true story of God healing from multiple sclerosis will give other sufferers the faith, hope, and tools to go to God for their healing.
"Helen's painful testimony is written in a gripping style. You don't want to put this down once you start. As you read you feel as if you want to go to the last chapter to see whether it all ends well. For anyone who is sick and trusting God for a miraculous healing this is a must read." Pastor John Thomas. Baptist Union.
This story is about God helping in all circumstances, not only sickness and paralysis, but also war, death, divorce and financial problems and will inspire people to trust Him for help in all their trials.
This true story gives the means and methods God showed an ordinary woman in the ups and downs of her life, until victory was finally obtained. This is not about a perfect person but a fallible human being making mistakes and struggling in faith against steep odds.
As readers 'fly with her' they will be able to embrace the lessons God taught her and obtain victory in their own lives.
- A Great Run
- by Jerry Pickholz
This is a HARDCOVER book, not a paperback. This is also Jerry's story about being born in 1932, into a family of very modest means, living in Brooklyn during the depths of the Great Depression. His education was with the compliments of the New York City school system from kindergarten through college (CCNY). A three year Naval Officer tour provided him with an eye-opening view of the world beyond the confines of his previous provincial living. With his total sea-going experience gained in a Prospect Park row boat, we find Jerry conning his ship, USS Warrick, through Japan's infamous Inland Sea, and later, to an anchorage in the dizzying traffic of Tokyo Bay.
Two years after meeting Phyllis at CCNY and less than a year into his the navy tour, at the tender ages of twenty-two and twenty, they marry, and set up a household in the San Francisco Bay area. Jerry alternates between round trips to the Far East and frolicking with Phyllis on the West Coast for the rest of the Navy tour. The return to New York City is disappointingly unremarkable: The reception by family and friends, the first job, and the first apartment.
What then unfolds is an unlikely, circuitous journey of forty-five years, from an ill-advised, entry-level position in public accounting to the upper echelons of advertising agency management, and the answer to the oft-asked question: "How did you get from there to there?"
Switching to a larger accounting firm and ultimately joining their fledgling management consulting group is a water-shed event. The first consulting assignment results in a job offer as a controller. Almost immediately, the positions balloons to include plant management, and then general management.
The company is sold to a conglomerate. Jerry is named president of the company he had been with, and manager of a large but unimpressive segment of the conglomerate. Dissatisfied in time with the conglomerate, his company is repurchased by the former stockholders in partnership with the renowned advertising agency, Ogilvy & Mather as the majority owner. The intent of the giant agency is to integrate their acquisition and build a world-wide direct marketing capability. With all the corporate intrigue that may be found in a novel, three major players of the newly combined entity resign. Jerry takes on the role of CEO of the then destabilized Ogilvy Direct. During the next sixteen years, it experiences meteoric global growth, to become the largest direct agency in the world. Digital advertising emerges and finds a home there. Ogilvy is acquired in an unfriendly take-over. Jerry is named Vice-Chairman and member of the Executive Committee of Ogilvy & Mather. He retires shortly afterwards, soon starts a new advertising venture, and participates in the dot-com frenzy.
Jerry and Phyllis were married in 1954, and have celebrated their fifty-seventh anniversary. Their son, Keith and daughter, Michelle were raised primarily in Chappaqua, a lovely community in Northern Westchester. Keith went to Dartmouth and NYU for a Masters in Digital Communications, spent seven years with Microsoft and continues in E-Marketing. He is married to Barbara Hagmayer and they have a son, Luca, and a daughter, Luna. Michelle graduated from Vanderbilt, had a short but successful career selling advertising time, married Steven Eickelbeck and they have three teen-aged sons, Alexander, and twins, Austin and Willie. Steven is in real estate development and management.
Phyllis and Jerry are long-time residents of both the upper east side of Manhattan and Bridgehampton. They belong to the Gardiner's Bay Country Club on Shelter Island and work at playing golf.
- Southern Fried Rice: Life in A Chinese Laundry in the Deep South
- by John Jung
This memoir conveys the experiences of our family, the only Chinese people living in Macon, Georgia between 1928 and 1956. It describes our family's isolated existence running a laundry, enduring loneliness as well as racial prejudice for over 20 years, why and how we moved across the continent to live in the San Francisco Chinese community, and how each family member adjusted to the challenges and opportunities of their new lives.
Your book is a joy to read. It has a beautiful flow to it and an enriching quality that is easier to feel than it is to describe. Couched in humor, it deals with the painful and serious matter of day-to-day struggles of existence of a couple who came here with hardly anything more than faith in their hearts and steel in their spines.
Krishan Saxena, Kensington, California
Your book is the one that I had promised myself that I would write one day, but you went ahead and wrote it. You did a wonderful job!
Henry Tom, Frederick, Maryland
Thank you for telling your story in such an engaging manner. While your story is personal it is also universal because of its working class foundation laced with layers of Chinese ethnicity, family structure and dynamics, and the specificity of the South.
Flo Oy Wong, Artist, Sunnyvale, California
Enjoyed very much reading your family history revealing a unique experience yet sharing many of the same problems of families in Chinese laundries. Yours is one of the few written accounts of the many family-run laundries in the U. S. Thank you for the careful documentation of this history, which would be otherwise forgotten.
Tunney Lee, Boston, Massachusetts
"Southern Fried Rice" is a well-written and factually documented memoir that gave me insight into the lives of Chinese in the South, especially those living where there were no other Chinese, as you did in Macon. Your move to San Francisco must have been as much of a cultural shock for you as it was for me, an African American moving to the Bay Area from Memphis.
Leatha Ruppert, Cotati, California
"Riveting - couldn't put the book down until it was finished - it mirrored many of my own childhood experiences growing up in New Zealand in the 50s. The Chinese immigrant experience must have been the same the world over."
Helen Wong, Auckland, New Zealand
I appreciated this book, because it has given me a deeper perspective in what it means to be a second generation Chinese American of emigrant parents who operated a Chinese laundry. I understand that all minorities that emigrated to the United States in search of a better life had their struggles with survival and discrimination, this book makes me not only value and respect my parents, but also other immigrant parents who desired their children to be prosperous.
Lou Lan W. Argueta, Carson, Ca.
"I read this book in a week, which is fast for me. I was fascinated in this story of Chinese Americans in the deep south in contrast to my own experiences living in Seattle. There are a lot of similarities but certainly different. This book is scholarly with many sources cited." Tony Chinn
"Southern Fried Rice tells the overlooked history of Chinese Americans in the Deep South through the author's account of his family's experiences in Georgia running a laundry from the late 1920s through the 1950s. This inside view of an immigrant family who struggled to make a living and to maintain connections with their Chinese heritage and homeland highlights the mutability and complexity of Chinese American identity and the frequently forgotten ethnic and racial diversity of the South."
Krystyn Moon, Assistant Professor of History, Mary Washington University,
Author, Yellowface: Creating the Chinese in American Popular Music and Performance, 1850s-1920s.
"A humane and personal reflection on life as a young Chinese American growing up in Macon, Georgia, when Jim Crow segregation still ruled. This memoir has an incisive clarity that shines extra light on the mundane oddities and inhuman logic of everyday life in the South before the Civil Rights era. It provides a sense of what it was to be like to grow up an outsider in a rigid racial system that could not find a place for those who contradicted its premises and offers us a rare glimpse at the fairly common experience of those who found themselves in the impossible spaces of the American racial order, a world that is both thankfully distant and yet hauntingly familiar still."
Henry Yu, Associate Professor of History, UCLA and University of British Columbia, Author, Thinking Orientals: Migration, Contact, and Exoticism in Modern America
"Southern Fried Rice demonstrates the fluidity of regional and national identity and is both a construction and deconstruction of "Chinese-ness."...These stories offer much toward confirming and complicating popular notions of what it means to be "American" just as it traces the slippery identity shifts of what it means to be "Chinese" ... a valuable mirror that will help move the history of those who are neither Black nor White towards a more deserving central role in the national and international human story."
Stephanie Y. Evans, Assistant Professor of African American Studies and Women's Studies, University of Florida Author, "Black Women in the Ivory Tower, 1850-1954: An Intellectual History"
"John Jung provides an insightful account of himself and his family in the context of Chinese immigrants who lived in the American South during the 1940s and 1950s. The unique experiences and struggles of his family members serve both to confirm some principles from social science research on Chinese in America as well as to remind us of the importance of individual differences, yielding meaningfulness and substance to issues of culture, race relations, immigration, and identity development. This engaging, candid, and often humorous and heartwarming book is an important contribution not only to the fields of psychology, sociology, and history but also to literature. Social scientists and students alike will find the book immensely fascinating and satisfying."
Stanley Sue. Distinguished Professor, Psychology and Asian American Studies, University of California, Davis Editor, "Asian American Mental Health: Assessment Theories Methods"
"..rich with historical detail...engaging memoir ...insightful observation"
Barbara Kim, Prof., Asian American Studies Calif. St. Univ., Long Beach
"..fascinating and insightful account of Chinese-American family life...charming and information..."
Paul Rosenblatt, Prof.,Family Social Sciences, University of Minnesota
"..woven with genuine scholarship...masterful bit of storytelling..."
Ronald Gallimore, Distinguished Professor Emeritus Department of Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, UCLA
"...a unique view of ethnic identity.. fascinating insights...what it means to be Chinese when there is no Chinese community... and the way subsequent experiences in__and out__ of a Chinese community futher shape this process."
Jean Phinney, Cal State Univ, Los Angeles, Author, Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure
"A charming and engrossing self-ethnography. More importantly, John Jung's book enhances the archive on Asians in the South as well as our understanding of how Jim Crow situated the Chinese between `white' and `colored.'"
Leslie Bow, English and Asian American Studies (Director) University of Wisconsin Author "Betrayal and Other Acts of Subversion: Feminism, Sexual Politics, Asian American Women's Literature"
"In Southern Fried Rice, John Jung offers an intriguing and unique perspective on American immigration. Based on his experience as a child in the only Chinese family in Macon, Georgia in the mid-20th century, Jung's story is a fascinating account of the negotiation of personal and ethnic identity in a foreign environment. His narrative highlights many of the features of the larger society, including both government policy and situational practice, that shape the lives of immigrants, both then and now."
Kay Deaux, Distinguished Professor, Psychology, City University of New York Graduate Center, Author, "To Be An Immigrant"
John Jung's delightful book opens a window providing a glimpse into the lives of one family born to Chinese immigrants in a small town in the South in the 1930s and 1940s. Being the only Chinese in town in a segregated society, their lives were certainly not mint julep and magnolias...The author sees his upbringing and that of his siblings, as the challenging task of accommodating two wolds and, being more Chinese than not.
Sylvia Sun Minnick, Author, Samfow, The San Joaquin Chinese Experience
- New York in the Fifties
- by Greenpoint Press
While Allen Ginsberg howled that the best minds of his generation were being destroyed by madness, Wakefield, who lived in the same town, was high on just being there, on making it as a freelance writer if not yet as a novelist, on the camaraderie he found in Greenwich Village, on hanging around with James Baldwin, Vance Bourjaily, Norman Mailer, Seymour Krim, John Gregory Dunne, Gay Talese, William Buckley and other "writer writers" who would later become our eminences grises of letters. Wakefield had fled Indianapolis in 1952 to study at Columbia; yet eight years later, "all scratched out," he would flee New York City--and end up in Boston, permanently. This is his memoir of '50s Manhattan, a charmed, gentle, evocative re-creation of a time when sex was more talked about than done (and when done, was done in secret), a time when psychoanalysis was hailed as the new religion, booze was the soporific, Esquire and the Village Voice the journalistic pacesetters, jazz the music. Then the atmosphere changed: McCarthyism hovered, Timothy Leary came around with the "cure-all elixir" psilocybin, the Beatles landed. Wakefield, whose novels include Home Free , has written his generation's kinder-spirited Moveable Feast , marking his era as a cultural divide.Litterateurs will treasure the book. So will aspirants. --From Publishers Weekly

Re: Tennis Tipping Managers 2012 - Need managers for October
Well, guys, just calm down! I am really sorry, I did make a mistake! Just one thing to tell, I did explain exactly what I was going to do in the OOP of yesterday. Nobody changed that, so everybody has some blame. And for me, late diffs are not fun as well, that is why I always wanna be able to post the diffs in time if I manage. But, that is not always possible, and as I explained it would be only today. So, for somebody not wanting to join a tournament because of 1 day late differences, is a little bit strange.
And about not managing, there are always people who blame other people. Eric (Crvena Zvezda) was a good friend of mine, I played lots of doubles with him, and he is clearly overprotective. Just as a matter of fact, to avoid these confrontation, don't put direct remarks after one mistake in the thread. Or really post it as an option, not immediately pointing a finger. A PM would have solved the issue and it would have stayed silent and I would have apologized anyway!

All breaks for all arrivals
Everything closes too early. Entertainment very poor. Caravan smelled like it had been cleaned with a dirty cloth. Food portions were children's size. Public toilets had flooded floors all week
the holiday was amazing food at the restaurant could have been better, we ate there once and didn't return. but over all the whole experience was great the entertainment for kids was excellent. we will be back
reported 2 faults with the caravan, neither were looked at during our stay..... went without heating for the entire week.
Disappointed that the fencing had been removed aound the reception area, no shelter from the wind. Think it should be made clear in the advertising that there is no beach access
Clean and quiet park with good facilities. Staff were helpful and friendly. Overall, good value for money.
Lovely site for a relaxing break. Kids entertainment was great with plenty of activities on site. We went during whitsun week and were shocked at the lack of staff in the main club & restaurant, took ages to get served as only 2 barstaff in club & 1 in the restaurant most of the time. Staff were friendly and kids entertainers were fab.Would be better if swimming pool had slides!
Good site good position great holiday
Nice layout of site and easy parking by the caravan.
Extremely disappointed at the quality of the caravan we were allocated. The caravan was at least 20 years old, this is unacceptable. Several appliances did not work correctly.
The club was fine in the evenings but we all had aching feet for the duration of our stay as we walked the road way to what was called the beach. It was in fact just another beach where the land had fallen in the sea resulting in a large drop. When I inquired about the holiday, (if your calls are recorded, you can verify this) I was told that the beach was ten minutes walk away. When I got there I asked a member of staff in the sales office and they directed us by road(we said we were not driving) which took more like two hours to walk.
Coming back we decided to come along the coast route which did actually take about 15minutes, but we had to ignore the signs telling us not to use the path. Personally I dont understand how you can say that the beach is nearby, if to get there ,people have to walk on ''closed'' routes with barriers part way across them.. We were pleased with the caravan, but its just such a shame it was marred by the beach experience. It was such an important part of the holiday for our group, that it was just too disappointing to realize that we had been misinformed.
Good site, caravan good but as all holiday accommodation the beds could be better quality
helpful staff clean site
After reading previous reviews was a little nervous about booking Skipsea Sands ,but as soon as we arrived the staff couldn't have been more helpful and informative.The caravan was modern with plenty of equipment .We really enjoyed our break.
We really enjoyed our stay. Just two points that would put me off booking again.
1 check in was poor we stood in line in a bar for 40 mins with screaming kids all round us.
2 the caravan we stayed in really smelt terrible, sure smokers stayed in it before us, we tried air freshener but could not shift it also the seats were dirty and stained. ( caravan 362)
The check in process was long and disorganised - the staff had to keep disappearing to get peoples keys it took 1hr for us to get our keys. The heating didn't work I reported this to reception and someone came to look at it quickly and said they would send a plumber to fix it, but nobody every came back. Luckily we were only there for the weekend and the fire worked. The restaurant was very expensive and the food wasn't that good, the local chippy was better value both food wise and for the money

Yes, and this one hand, which will always be mine, is the hand of my accomplice.
But everything goes wrong right from the start with one accomplice running out the door, unable to go through with it.
Similarly, Mike Rogers has suggested Snowden probably had an accomplice in the NSA giving him information.

Id be smitten if I could find a girl who is passionate about sports, loves to travel and explore new places, values education and learning, and overall appreciates life and what it has to offer. "I'm passionate, funny, tenacious, courageous, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I'm incredibly smart, sometimes aggressively so. I'm also a kind person. I want someone who notices the little things. Like the fact that I'm a foodie and I love to share that with other people. Or that when someone pays me a compliment, I can't even look them in the eye." (If you know what this is from, then I'd love to hear from you.) Basically, I want to meet a girl who pushes me to be a better person. I don't have a problem being single, and in fact, I would prefer that over being in a relationship solely to be in one. However, I am open to meeting a nice and genuine girl; one who won't corrupt me too much ;) I am not convinced whether people actually read these things, but I like, in no particular order: Movie quotes Physiognomy Higgs boson Sports bobbleheads Tapirs The X-Files Laughing Maine Coons College football and basketball Making the most out of uneventful situations Newspaper games section Competitive eating Traveling Car/Shower singing

- Filed Under
Studio+ focuses on collaboration.
Internally, co-owners Damon Romanello and Ted Sottong have created a workspace without personal offices. It's an open environment where teamwork occurs and employees contribute ideas.
And outside its Fort Myers headquarters, the duo focuses on collaborating with clients. Architecture and design have historically been seen as an isolated process, but Romanello and Sottong are taking a different approach. They want clients to be part of the team and will hold design workshops where the initial planning and drawings are started and developed in front ...

This upcoming Monday, is, THE BIG ONE. Before the sun begins to peak its rays above the horizon, before the rooster crows or the hound howls, and most likely, even before your first cup of coffee, anglers will have set out from Harbour Island, Ocean City on an adventure: An adventure for treasure. For these adventurers, like it has been for many years, the treasure they seek lies beneath the sea. But it is not gold or relics of old, it's the creatures that live within it. The White Marlin. Known to be a rare and solitary species, it has been coveted by watermen since the Atlantic was the Atlantic. In the old days this beautiful creature was known as Skilligalee (say that word out loud and you'll want one too). People have always sought after this sailfish, for its meat, for the story, the adventure, and now they will come to Ocean City, MD for the riches that it could bring. Last year's lone Skilligalee brought it's capturer over $1,200,000.
OCMD is historically a fishing town. In the ol'days men would simply drag boats to the water's edge and navigate through the surf. Imagine these salty fellas yelling 'SKILLIGALEE!' over pounding wind and rain. In 1933 a hurricane tore a hole in the land creating a passable inlet, thus bettering life and fishing chances in Ocean City, MD.
There are a few ways to enjoy Ocean City's White Marlin Open. Known as 'The World's Largest Billfish Tournament' and celebrating its 41st Anniversary, this event is sure not to disappoint. One way to enjoy the tournament is to head down to the inlet and Harrison's Harbor Watch Restaurant to watch the parade of big fancy boats heading out to sea. Harbor Watch has the best view in town and they supply us land folk tournament information and give insight to what all the different flags on the boats mean (you'll see what I mean if you attend the event). Want to have a more permanent location to watch the boats, check out the Oceanic Motel. Book a room overlooking the bay and watch the boats, day and night, as they travel to cash in on the Skilligalee! Even throw in a line yourself from the Oceanic's lengthy fishing pier.
By far, the most popular way to take the action in is to head down to the Harbour Island Marina on 14th Street and the Bay. There you can watch the big fancy boats come in, witness the sea creatures being weighed and check out the vendors. There's always a festival atmosphere going on down there and usually the town provides a shuttle from the convention center to the harbor.
The best way to get into the action is simply entering the tournament. You'll need a boat. A big boat. Think JAWS big. And then think, 'We're gonna need a bigger boat.' For those that do enter, good luck!
For those that are not going to enter the tournament and want to enjoy the town fishing, there are quite a few options for you as well. The bulkhead at 2nd thru 4th Street is a free fishing zone; you can fish without a license here. You still need to be part of a registry (call 855-855-3906). Keeper flounder can be found there with a slacking tide. Anglers can also find sea bass, rock, spot, croaker, bluefish, tautog, and puppy drum. If the tides moving hard, cast straight down, it's deep enough and you won't get hung up.
The OC Pier is another spot you can fish without a MD license. Kingfish and croaker have been running hot there these past couple weeks. The Route 50 Bridge coming into Ocean City is also a hotspot for anglers; let's just hope the bridge doesn't get stuck in the "up" position like last week. You'll need a MD License to fish off of the 50 Bridge, which are reasonably priced. So remember, you don't need a big fancy boat to hook a nice fish in Ocean City, MD.
Speaking of big boats, be sure not to miss one of the newest attractions to Ocean City: the Galeón Andalucía. The Galeón Andalucía, or Tall Ship as it is referred to, is the only galeón class ship in the world sailing today. Coming out of the second half of the 16th Century, galeóns had a little different build style than you will find of the boats at the White Marlin Open. Back in the day, hundreds of expert tradesmen, including carpenters, blacksmiths, shipwrights and pitch-melters worked day and night for months to make a galeón seaworthy. The Tall Ship is definitely something to check out while you're basking in all the other sea worthy activities. It offers tours of the ship which will show you the impeccable workmanship that went into building one of these behemoths.
Tickets can be purchased at the boat, but purchasing them in advance from their website offers you a discount. Also, for one evening only, El Galeón Andalucía will be open to the public for the "Party with the Pirates" VIP Event. Appetizers, soft drinks, beer and wine will be served during this rare chance for the public to experience El Galeón in the evening and enjoy the sunset onboard. Meet the Captain and crew and hear in their own words what it is like to sail on El Galeón. Learn about the vessel and its history from the perspective of those who sail on it! Tickets for this event can be purchased online.
We definitely recommend checking out one, if not both, of these events while you're in Ocean City. The White Marlin Open is one of Ocean City's most famous events during the course of the summer. The Tall Ship, although only in its second year appearing in Ocean City, was wildly popular last year and is sure to be a staple of OCMD summers for years to come. So, from August 4th through the 8th it's 'Skilligalee Week' and from August 1st through September 1st you can visit the Galeón Andalucía. Last but not least, we hope that you enjoy your time with us in Ocean City, Maryland!

In retrospect, Ocean City, MD and the Delmarva coast was spared from the wrath of Hurricane Sandy. Especially when compared to the destruction and hardships it caused to New Jersey and New York. The 'Frankenstorm' that was Hurricane Sandy did destroy much of the iconic Ocean City fishing pier. However the pier will be rebuilt back to its former self in preparation of the 2013 summer.
An icon doesn't just become one overnight. There has been a fishing pier, in ...read more
