Had issues with the apron
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The way the straps work results in the apron bunching up in the front. I cut the straps and sewed them so the apron is pulled back taught. With that all the other reviews are spot on.
don't appreciate it until you have it...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Been home wrenching for years. I've now got a dedicated bike maintenance spot in the garage and this apron hangs on my workstand ready to wear at a moments notice. Heavy duty and dark so it doesn't show the grease/dirt that I used to wipe on my pants. Keeps oft used tools and parts close at hand. Saves me precious time since I'm not hunting for tools constantly.
Clean up your act!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This Park Tool apron will definitely keep your clothes clean. If you service your own ride this is a must have item. Proudly display the Park logo, knowing you use
the finest bike specific tools available, Heavy duty and great pockets too!

Who is the manufacturer of this apron?
Hey Jones,
The apron is made by the Park Tool brand.
Does its job and keeps me clean
Some of my buddies have made fun of me for sporting my apron while cleaning and fixing my bike, but I won't complain. At the end of the day my clothes are still clean. The pockets on the chest are great for holding allens, lube, screwdrivers or most any other tool. You can even use this thing in the kitchen or to grill. Get one and quit wearing your wife's baking apron in the shop!

Village, school board seats open in spring in Germantown, Menomonee Falls
Candidates can start gathering signatures on Saturday
Germantown - Germantown and Menomonee Falls residents wishing to run for an open spot on the village board or school board can start gathering signatures to declare their candidacy starting Saturday for the spring 2013 election.
By state law, candidates may not circulate nomination forms and solicit signatures before Dec. 1.
The deadline to file is 5 p.m. Jan. 2. Should more than two candidates file for an open seat, there will be a primary election Feb. 19. The spring election is April 2.
Several seats are up for election on both the Germantown Village Board and Menomonee Falls Village Board.
Germantown Village president Dean Wolter's term ends in April. The District 2 trustee position is also open.
District 2 trustee Shane Daniels was appointed in July by the Village Board to serve the remainder of Daniel Wing's term, who resigned from the board. The term expires in 2013.
Trustees and the president serve three-year terms. Trustees receive $5,500 a year and the president receives $8,000 annually.
Filing papers for trustee positions will be available at Village Hall, W17001 Mequon Road.
Three seats are up for election on the Menomonee Falls Village Board: seat four, currently held by Michael McDonald, seat five, held by Jeff Steliga, and seat six, held by Steve Raymonds.
Falls trustees serve three-year terms and receive $5,500 annually.
After a contentious spring election in 2012 for the Germantown School Board sparked by Gov. Scott Walker's Budget Repair Bill, three seats are open in the spring 2013 election: seat two, held by Bruce Warnimont, seat six, held by Michael Loth, and seat four, held by Diana Kline.
All three positions are three-year terms. Board members receive $4,000 annually.
Germantown School Board filing papers can be picked up at district offices, W13840 Donges Bay Road.
Three Menomonee Falls School Board members' terms expire in spring 2013, including Lori Blodorn, Faith VanderHorst and Scott Ternes. The School Board seats are for a three-year term.
Board members are paid $5,000 annually.
Filing papers for Menomonee Falls School Board can be picked up at the district office, located in Village Hall, N8480 Pilgrim Road. Filing papers for the Village Board can be picked up at the clerk's services office, also located in Village Hall.
Village halls and school district offices will be closed Dec. 24 and 25 and Jan. 1 for the holiday, but will be open Dec. 26-28. Menomonee Falls Village Hall will be open Dec. 31; however, Germantown Village Hall and the School District will be closed that day and will reopen Jan. 2 for the final day of filing.

Adobe got hacked, security breached
Firm will revoke a code signing certificate
SOFTWARE HOUSE Adobe has admitted that it was the victim of a hacker attack that breached its security defences.
Hackers were able to make their way into the firm's servers, specifically one of its code signing systems, and used it to sign malware with a valid digital certificate. Adobe's director of Product Security and Privacy, Brad Arkin explained the problem in a blog post.
"We recently received two malicious utilities that appeared to be digitally signed using a valid Adobe code signing certificate. The discovery of these utilities was isolated to a single source. As soon as we verified the signatures, we immediately decommissioned the existing Adobe code signing infrastructure and initiated a forensics investigation to determine how these signatures were created," he said.
"We have identified a compromised build server with access to the Adobe code signing infrastructure."
Arkin said that the certificate has been revoked but that does not mean that the hackers could not already be using it to spread their malware. No one has come forward and claimed responsibility for the attack. The company will issue new certificates, he added.
"We are proceeding with plans to revoke the certificate and publish updates for existing Adobe software signed using the impacted certificate. This only affects the Adobe software signed with the impacted certificate that runs on the Windows platform and three Adobe AIR applications that run on both Windows and Macintosh," he said. "The revocation does not impact any other Adobe software for Macintosh or other platforms."
Code signed after 10 July, 2012 could be affected and the firm said that it will revoke the certificate on 4 October. Users are not expected to notice anything happening, according to the firm's support webpages.
According to F-Secure's Mikko Hypponen, 5,127 files have been signed with the compromised Adobe certificate. However, he explained on Twitter than only three of those are "bad files". µ

Another day, another religious authoritarian ranting and raving that not allowing Christians to discriminate against anyone they find offensive is discriminatory against Christians.
On February 24th, 2014, Line of Fire Radio hosted Joseph LaRue of the highly inappropriately named Alliance Defending Freedom Counsel, who defended a proposed Arizona segregation bill, which opponents of contend is so flimsy in its language that it could allow discrimination based on religion, ethnicity or gender as well as sexual orientation.
Much like other supporters of the legislation, LaRue proved incapable of defending it without delving into ridiculous conspiracy theories about attempts to prosecute Christians in America.
According to LaRue, religious people will be "treated as second class citizens by their government" if the legislation isn't signed into law.
LaRue apparently has not read the legislation himself, however, as he also claimed that that the bill "is not about denying service."
"Comparing it to Jim Crow is just beyond the pale," LaRue insisted.
Which is, needless to say, completely untrue. In fact, denying services is precisely what the bill is all about.
The far-right's war against reality is as futile as ever.

For the second time in Ford's history, they used the moniker, Model "A" ,(the first was for their 1903/1904 vehicles) to name their line-up of vehicles, which followed their extremely successful Ford Model "T",(produced from 1908 to mid-1927). The Model "A", which was also very successful, was produced from late1927 to 1931 (actual production ended in March, 1932), and unlike the 1914 through 1927 Model "T's", could be had in several colors, except for black (I think, because it was once stated by Mr. Ford, in a directive to his management team sometime in 1909, that in the future "any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black"). Due to its popularity, nearly five million Model "A's" were produced between October,1927 and March,1932 when the completely updated, Model "B" was introduced, as a new model for 1932.
The Model "A" was produced in over 30 different versions from a basic bare chassis (used by custom coach builders as a base) to several two and four door models to many truck variations. All models carried the durable, 201 c.i., L-head-4cyl engines and three-speed "sliding gear" manual transmission. They originally sold for anywhere from around $385.00 for a base model roadster, to about $1,400.00 for the top-of-the-line, "Town Car", model. The Model "A" was produced in many plants, all around the world, in places like Canada, England, Germany, France, Argentina and even the Soviet Union. Due to Henry Ford's innovations in assembly line production, the Model "A" continued the benefits of mass production introduced during the Model "T" era, on a global scale.
By the late 1930's the Model "A" coupes had become popular with the group of people known as "hot-rodders". These "pioneers" of the industry (initially from the southern California area) probably had no idea what they had begun and would be amazed at the "Hot Rod" scene of today. They cut, chopped, channeled and modified their way into building a hobby industry that is a huge market in its own right today. The "Hot Rod" phenomenon really took-off, after the end of WWII, with many GI's returning from the war scene and looking for some excitement and thrills, they began building their own personalized version of hot rod vehicle.
I remember back in the sixties and early seventies, many of my hot-rodding friends were called "greasers" and dressed a certain way, which always included slicked back hair and a black leather jacket, along with an attitude of "coolness". We would cruise the "strip", in our local areas, in our modified old-school rods and even many of them could afford the new "factory" hot rods now referred to as "muscle cars". Those were the days, happy days, fun times and who can forget John Milner's yellow coupe in the greatest movie of all time "American Graffiti" (a cult classic)!!!! I was driving a 1968 Chevelle SS396 at the time that movie came out and all I wanted was one of those cool coupes! I must have seen that movie 20 times that year, with 10 different girls (not because I was a Romeo, I just didn't want to go alone) and we usually went to the "outdoor" movie show, what a blast!!! Simply awesome!!!
This gorgeous, steel bodied street rod, a 1930 Ford, 5-window coupe, featured above, is being offered by Mecum Auctions (lot# KC0311-104849) at their Kansas City, MO auction the weekend of March 11 and 12, 2011. Check it out, and the many other fine cars they have crossing the "block" that weekend, as I am sure they will have something for everyone (as usual)!
Quiz of the week: Somehow, foreseeing the future, what was the name of the most popular song of 1930 by Ben Selvin?
Bonus question: What popular "sweet treat" from Hostess Bakeries, which is still popular today, was invented way back in 1930?
Answer: "Happy Days Are Here Again", Bonus: Twinkies

It is no secret that a baby shower is a right of passage for many pregnant women, and this tradition is no different for celebrities. Kim Kardashian recently took time out of her busy schedule to attend Ciara's star studded baby shower. This was confirmed by a March 23 story by in The Hollywood Gossip.
Interestingly, Kim was not the only Kardashian family member on hand for the shower. Kris Jenner made an appearance at the event, and later Instagramed a well wishing message to Ciara.
Earlier in the week, Kim and Kanye had taken the internet by storm when it was revealed they would be on the cover of the April issue of "Vogue". This announcement promptly lead to a parody of the power couple's cover shoot by James Franco.
Between the "Vogue" cover, temporarily taking over the internet and now attending a baby shower for a close friend, Kim Kardashian has had a remarkably busy week.

When You Gotta Go, Wherever You Are
Have you ever encountered a horrifying bathroom that you had to resist using while traveling around the world? A restroom without toilet paper? No running water? Or even a toilet that didn't flush? Or perhaps, you didn't experience the unsanitary filth. Instead, you were able to do what you had to do comfortably in a very well kept bathroom… in another country. That's fortunate!
However, you don't have to fly into another country having to deal with dirty bathrooms. All you have to do is check out thebathroomdiaries.com to work out a plan for your next trip.
The Bathroom Diaries is a clever and useful website. Even CNN, ABC Today, and the National Geographic have praised its contents and functionality.
What It's About
The Bathroom Diaries is a helpful and in a sense, comical website that any traveler can browse through to find a bathroom around the world. It provides a list of over 8,000 bathrooms of hotels, airports, and other public facilities around the globe, each with either a good or bad rating in terms of sanitization, safety, and aesthetics. Over 100 countries are included in this list such as Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Egypt, Greece, Morrocco, South Africa and more.
But That's Not All
The Bathroom Diaries allows you to add other bathrooms that you've used onto the list with your own ratings and comments. Not only do you get to submit your own experience with a bathroom in a foreign country, but you also get to nominate the best, unique and/or creative restroom you've ever seen into the Bathroom of the Week contest.
You can also read several amusing or disgusting travel essays submitted by other travelers' personal experiences with the restrooms on The Bathroom Diaries' Travel Essays section. If you want, you could also submit and share with other viewers your own bathroom tales for this site.
This Travel Essays section has the Editor's picks, new essays, and short briefings from Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Many are interesting and some are funny, while others gross you out… which makes you realize how much you should appreciate your own working toilet!
Below are a few stories taken from the essays section that will give you an idea of the horrors some people experienced in using a public bathroom in another country. Also, the following link will take you directly to the Editor's Picks. Essays Reprinted by permission of The Bathroom Diaries, LLC.
I can't tell you exactly where it is, probably because the experience was so bad that I've forgotten the less consequential details. All I remember is that it was in a pub in southern France, in the men's toilets (I can't remember why I used the men's - I'm a woman - but I think maybe it was because there was only one toilet.) Anyway, it was one of those squat toilets. The bathroom was tiny. I did what I had to do (that level of detail is especially unwarranted with what is to come next) and flushed.
**Instant flooding** The flush mechanism was distorted so the water spurt out everywhere - all over the floor, (nicely collecting my doings on the way) and spurting all up and down my jeans. I was completely soaked, and never again will I lock a bathroom door, for that second required to unlock the door and leap out meant I got another litre of two of that sewerage on me.
Bad, Bad Experience Guys.
Turkey , 1976
We spent the night parked in a Combi Van at a gas station in Eastern Turkey during freezing cold weather, and before bed-time, had to negotiate the bathroom in total darkness. One of my traveling companions, expecting the usual squat type toilet, was pleasantly surprised when, backing himself over the hole and lowering his rear end, felt himself supported and sat down comfortably to do his business.
The next morning, in daylight, he was horrified to discover that he had been reclining on a top of a cone of frozen sh*t deposited by countless other individuals who had been there before him.
Sun Yat Sen Memorial , China
About 18 years ago, just as China was opening up to visitors we took a trip to the Sun Yat Sen Memorial and Museum. Anticipating many tourists, a new toilet had been built with clean cement floors, traditional holes in floor but with feet carefully painted so you would know where to squat. It was on the side of a hill with a beautiful valley below and large vegetable gardens. My daughter and I were so glad to find a clean toilet. But when we came out and looked down the hill there was a man with a basket carrying deposits from the toilets to the vegetable gardens. My daughter was horrified.

HH: Kei CS by tooayaWatch
©2011-2016 tooaya
Name: Kei Nakakami (中神 圭)
Sample voice (In-school): [link]
Sample voice (out-school): [link]
Sample voice (combined? lol ): [link]
Age: 16
Height: 6'3"
Gender: male
Grade: 2nd year/Junior
DOB: November 14th
Star Sign: Scorpio
Kei has two sides. This is not to say he has multi-personality disorder, he just chooses to act like two different people for different occasions.
In school, Kei is somewhat nerdy. He prefers to blend into the crowd or be left alone. He is disinterested in all subjects aside from sociology. The school doesn't offer the subject however, so he stays in the library most of the times reading and learning by himself.
Kei is nothing out of ordinary in school. His neatly combed hair and glasses are perfect disguises, added with his strict manner and unsympathetic way of talking, leaves other an impression that he's hard to approach and unpleasant to be around with. This changed little since he has became a disciplinary officer. If anything, his rather strict ways of rule enforcement has earned him quite a few enemies in the school.
When he's done with school, Kei changes his appearance as well as his personality. He is outgoing, flirty, and skilled in interacting with others. His knowledge and interest in sociology turns Kei into a sweet and smooth talker, and has won him quite a few admirers, majority of them being female. Kei is more wild and open outside of school, and possesses a violent streak. If anyone threatens to take away his freedom, kei will stop at nothing to prevent it from happening.
outside of school, Kei is nicknamed "Ouji-sama" by his admirers. He strives to keep the title while hiding it from his classmates.
= likes
= dislikes
The library
Girls, older girls especially
People who pose a threat to him in any way
His poor eye-sight
Kei is the only son of a high-ranking government official. Because his father was extremely busy, Kei has never had a chance to get to know his father well. For most part of his childhood, he was brought up by his mother alone. As a result, the boy grew to be attached to his mother and quite fond of her, even to the point that he concluded his family was perfectly functional without a father. However, this peace did not last for long. When he turned 13, his father was dragged into a scandalous affair that gained a ton of unwanted attention from the media. Kei never understood the details on what happened, but in the end, it drove his mother away. Not able to handle the pressure and emotional strains, Kei's mother left the house one night, never to return. During their last meeting, Kei watched his mother cry and apologize for what was going to happen. Despite so, he could not blame his mother for leaving, and instead directed all his anger toward his father.
During the next couple of years, Kei fought with his father openly and constantly. It put a lot of strain to their already strained relationship, though eventually the boy came to realize that fighting like this would not solve anything. His father, on the other hand, felt horrible for what happened, but was too prideful to sit down and talk things through to Kei, explaining what actually happened. To deal with the rebellious teen, Kei's father sent him away to a remote, yet prestigious school hidden in the mountains named Hoshizora High. He provided all the funding for the boy, even going to extreme measures of buying his son a luxurious apartment in the town close by. Despite his efforts, Kei did not appreciate them. While he excels in school, he is disinterested in acedemic affairs, and seeks to become a rule-breaker behind his father's back. This drives Kei into forming another persona outside of school, one which he can express his true self without restraints. He has probably spent more time plotting against his father, from day and night planners to what he can do and what he cannot do, than studying. To this day Kei does a good job at keeping a balance between inside and outside of school...
Club: Kenka Club
Classes: Astronomy, History, English, Math
Sports: Track
- Kei spends most of his time in the library while in school reading on sociology books. Considering there's only a limited number of books on said subject, he has already memorized a few books reading them over and over.
- Kei only attends the minimum required number of classes needed to pass. He does most of the study on his own, and manages to maintain a good grade.
- Kei spends an hour everyday after school to apply hairgel to his hair to make them messy looking, and spends an hour before bed to get his hair back to the natural state.
- The Kenka club is the only activity Kei is interested in in school. His style of fighting is more crude brawl instead of the established martial arts, making him a troublemaker in the club.
- With that said, Kei sleeps about 4-6 hours at night. Joining the track team and running around is the only way to keep him awake during the day.
- Kei possesses a fake ID which allows him to buy alcoholic beverages. He is not addicted to alcohol, but drinks for the sake of going against his father who condemns it. His fake name is Shouji Yamakazu. Normally he'd tell others to just call him Ouji instead.
- Has 3 piercings on his left ear, and an eagle shaped tattoo on his left shoulder. He hides the piercings by covering his hair over his ears in school, but makes a point to expose them outside of it.
- Under his father's influence, Kei is decent at speaking English as he was taught when he was young to appear more intelligent.

49ers' Battle has no business missing any OTAs

|Comments: 9
|I think this article is a little overboard. Because we don't know the reason for his absence, and he has been the most consistant receiver the 49ers have had, he deserves a "little" slack. Battle is a proffessional, and I'm sure has reason for missing "voluntary" OTA's.
I will agree with you that Battle is not a good receiver. (There, I said it.) He just isn't good. In fact, he is average at best. Every stat produced in this article shows how average to below average he is. The 49ers have been drafting and paying free agents to replace him. The fact he still starts, shows how inept the offense and talent is at wide receiver.
The sad part is, that before this season, he's been the 49ers best pass option. The real question is, will he still be?
|So what is really going on across the BAY? I hate Nolan and suit wearing azz!!! He will never be anything in the sco, it's the 9ers not a job interview get that scrubb to wear some 9er gear and show his loyalty to his team, show your team that your willing to get down and dirty, what a pu##y!!!!!!
|Seems to me that Battle will now be "battling" for playing time with Isaac Bruce and Bryant Johnson. I thought I heard something about his absence being due to "personal reasons" or something. OTAs could be vital for him though, if he hopes to start this season.

"Miley freaks out and gets right in the face of a photographer in LA!" fumes Hollywood Life in its item accompanying a clip of Miley Cyrus getting irritated with a paparazzo who messed up the old "swoop around the non-famous person while holding the camera above your head" move and jostled Cyrus' mother, Tish, as he tried to get a shot of the starlet leaving a seemingly pleasant chicken lunch in the Los Angeles area. "Do you think she's right to step in so fiercely to defend Tish?" Well, do you? Video below.
Yes, the more hair-trigger gossip blogs are making themselves all atwitter about someone being legitimately annoyed that she's being trailed by people who want to take her picture while she's trying to engage in basic human functions like eating, and who don't entirely respect the personal boundaries of her and her close associates. Some outlets are even referring to her aggravation as a "rage," even though she didn't do anything like, say, wield an umbrella at a poor defenseless car window.
And the pro-paparazzo-moralizing doesn't stop there, either; today there are reports of another incident between Cyrus and a cameraman, this one involving her trying to separate a snapper from his camera while she was coming back from the gym. (Perhaps her workout inspired her to show off her lunging skills?) This spat caused a blogger at Allie Is Wired to sniff upon seeing the shots, "If it were me, I'd just ignore the paps. Or just say hello and pose for them. That way it doesn't give them a reason to chase you down and run at you to get their shot. But little Miss Cyrus is definitely exhibiting some anger management issues. She might want to get that checked out." Well, I would rather deal with "anger management issues" than be the sort of person who snipes about people they've never met based on judgments from still photos that they're pulling off a wire—indeed, that sort of behavior, I think, shows some weird sort of anger displacement, what with gossip bloggers needing vaguely controversial shots like the ones accompanying that ticky-tacking in order to keep their ad revenue rolling in. Will the cycle of armchair psychoanalyzing via half-glimpsed snippets of others' lives ever end?

There are plenty of topiaries and gardens to enjoy when you get to the back of Epcot and start to make your way around World Showcase to check out this year's Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival. Both the Florida Fresh Garden and the Backyard Play Garden are still under construction, but you can take a peek inside them by clicking the slideshow accompanying this article.
The Florida Fresh Garden showcases the state's amazing edible bounty, while the Backyard Play Garden, which is sponsored by GoGo SqueeZ, has room for the kids to run and play while the parents relax. In addition to the gardens and topiaries like Lady and the Tramp, Winnie the Pooh, and Peter Pan, World Showcase is also home to food stands with items like the ever-popular shrimp and grits, watermelon salad, frozen violet lemonade, BBQ, and even "piggylicious" bacon cupcakes with maple frosting.
As you browse the topiaries at Epcot, you may notice a much higher level of detail this year. For a great example of just how far the topiaries have progressed in terms of showing the characters' facial expressions, jump to this article.

By Paul Shoul
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain caught me by surprise. I am not a religious person and I had expected to dutifully take a look around, smile, nod, try to look thoughtful and then get out as fast as I could back to the streets, food and the people of Spain that I had come to love during the past week's journey.
But now, standing under vaulting arches of golden filigree, in a cloud of incense and surrounded by the hum of a thousand pilgrims drawn to this place from all over the world, I am moved.
Unconsciously, I find myself kneeling. It demands my respect and attention, and exudes spirituality beyond religion. It is history alive.
The Way of Saint James
I am a traveler awash in a sea of other travelers. As I watch them, I begin to wonder about their stories and from where and why they came here. Some believed that the patron Saint of Spain, the Apostle St. James the great is buried beneath the Cathedral.
The Camino de Santiago (The way of Saint James) is more than a thousand years old and is one of three Christian pilgrimages during which all sins are thought to be forgiven. Others look further back in time to Celtic legends that the walk was a fertility ritual or that Galicia was the gathering point where the dead would follow the sun across the ocean.
For the pilgrims around me during mass in Compostela, their journey is as important as their destination. They must either walk the last 100 kilometers (62 miles), or 200 kilometers (124 miles) if by bicycle. Some even come on horseback.
All across Europe there are little yellow signs marking the route to Compostela The pilgrims are issued a "passport" which allows them cheap lodging along the way at various hostels ("refugios") and must be stamped at each one. This is then presented at the Pilgrims office in Santiago where they will receive a certificate of their journey.
Throughout the town there are posters with an image of two swollen feet that reads, "No pain no gain." What I don't feel in religious solidarity with them, I do as a fellow traveler. Before I leave the cathedral I am drawn into a group hug with a bunch of folks from Brazil. No one is a stranger here.
The Land of a Thousand Rivers
Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia, an autonomous community of Spain located in the Northwestern Iberian peninsula. It is also known as the land of a thousand rivers, and I crossed over the Douro River (the river of gold) at the border with Portugal.
The Way of Saint John is not the only route or reason to travel here. With more than 1000 kilometers (620 miles) of coastline, 750 beaches, many with a blue flag rating for the purity of the water, amazing seafood, great local wine, medieval cities, 2000 years of history and the pure enthusiasm for life of the Galician people, it has a lot to offer.
There are two official languages, Spanish and Galician (Gallego), which is very close to Portuguese. Many Galician's feel closer to Portugal than to the rest of Spain. Their culture is more Celtic than Latino. They even play bagpipes called "Gaitas."
"An Opinionated People"
But whereas the Portuguese are a calm and reserved people, the Galicians are intense and passionate. They were the last part of Spain to be conquered by the Romans. The former dictator of Spain General Franco and Cuban leader Fidel Castro are both sons of Galicia.
"We are," my Galician friend Jesus said to me, "a very opinionated people."
They say a Galician never answers with a simple yes or no. Arguing is their national pastime. Miguel, a Portuguese friend of mine explained it this way:
"We [Portugese] are reasonable people. When we are right, we are right. Those Galicians on the other hand, they can never be wrong."
Meals in Galicia can last for hours; they are loud affairs full of long heated discussions and lots of wine. You want these guys as your friends.
The Other Religious Activity
After a roof top tour of the cathedral and a walk though the ancient streets of town. My friends and I headed out to the other major religious activity of the region…. eating.
A little known fact is that the first ten Pilgrims who officially register at the beginning of the day receive a free breakfast at the worlds oldest Hotel, The Parador de Santiago de Compostela. Originally a hospital in 1499 it gave medical help and shelter to the pilgrims. Now a five-star hotel and restaurant, it is located directly across from the cathedral and is spectacular.
The president has a permanent room there and the atmosphere and food are amazing. I had dinner there on my last evening in town, which was stupendous but lunch earlier in the day typifies why I love Spain and what keeps me coming back.
We ate at the Restaurante O 42 (rua do Franco 42:tel 34-981-57-06-65). Like all restaurants in Spain they offer a three course " menu de la casa" that is always reasonably priced, usually between 7 and 15 euros.
We had a tapas lunch (small side dishes) that lasted well over three hours. In Galicia they serve "raciones," which are slightly larger than tapas, but still not a full, meal-sized portion. That means you order a variety, and pass them around They cost an average of four euros.
Here's the menu for the lunch: crusty bread, cheese, salad, sea food soup, octopus cakes, fried and salted Padron peppers, tortilla (a thick egg and potato omelet), fried sardines, fried shrimp, shrimp in garlic sauce, mussels in vinegar and oil, and finally stuffed scallop shells.
The shells are the sign of the Saint and the Pilgrimage and are a "must-eat." Add about five bottles of wine, St. James almond cake for dessert, four cups of coffee, many cigarettes, a whole lot of laughter and it may be the closest thing to heaven to be found on mortal earth.
Places to see, where to stay and what to eat:
I entered Spain from Portugal and wound my way to Santiago de Compostela. Here are a few suggestions for stops along the way.
Check out the Town of Tui, just over the border with Portugal. The town is built around the Gothic Tui cathedral. The museum, altars and organ inside are beautiful, but the highlight for me was the short hike up the ancient stone stairway to the castle tower that offers a great view of the Mino River and of the Portuguese town of Valenca and its castle just on the other side of the river.
Santa Tegra
Castro de Santa Tegra
Close by to Tui is Santa Tegra. The restaurants on the top of this mountain park are perched on a cliff over looking the coastline and are a great place to sit and have a tapa or two. (Try the mussels).
Halfway up the road to the summit is one of the best preserved examples of Celtic settlements called "castros." This closely packed walled settlement of round stone houses can be dated back to the 1st century B.C.
Celtic settlements are often found on high ground in places that were easy to defend and offered a view of the surrounding area. They chose the choice spots and this is definitely one of them and well worth the trip.
In the center of the harbor of this coastal city is a replica of "Carval La Pinta" the fastest of Columbus's three ships and the first to return home with news of the discovery of America in 1493. You can visit the floating museum with replicas of the crew on board and the Native Americans they brought back.
I had lunch at the Parador Baiona located inside the Monterreal Castle. There are 84 paradores in Spain that are all situated in locations that are beautiful or castles, monasteries and palaces of historic significance. These are luxury Hotels that are affordable by international standards. The rooms here were quite nice and start at $153 a night. The main dining room is elegant, spacious and the food was amazing.
Mondariz Balneario
I stayed in the four-star Hotel Balneario de Mondariz about 75 miles from Santiago de Compostela in the tea valley and the Province of Pontevedra. This 194-room hotel and restaurant is worth a stay just for the food and accommodations, but is a destination in and of itself for the amazing Water Palace (Palacio del Augua).
The therapeutic mineral waters of the area have been drawing people here for centuries. Their curative powers are said to help digestive disorders if you drink them and heal your body if you soak in them. The water palace is a huge, an indoor and outdoor facility that also has saunas, steam rooms and a gymnasium. This place is great.
Pontevedra, Combarro, O Grove
The town of Pontevedra is the capital of the province and has a wonderful historic section. The main square has a large fountain around which are many outdoor cafes and down the winding stone streets you will find plenty of cool little bars. This place is steeped in history and has a lot to offer.
My next stop was Combarro. A delight full little fishing village, but my trip to the O Grove harbor was definitely one of my favorite travel experiences.
Galicia is famous for its seafood and is considered the seafood capital of Spain. It is the second largest producer of shellfish in the world. The variety is amazing. Octopus, blue lobsters, crabs, fish, shrimps, clams oysters, and mussels are abundant and delicious.
We took a catamaran trip out to view the mussel farm platforms in the harbor. The boat has an underwater viewing area where you can see the long lengths of rope around which thousands are attached.
On the trip back, the crew prepared massive platters of steamed mussels cooked simply with white wine, lemon juice and a little garlic. I've eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world but would rate this as one of my favorite culinary adventures. They were pure, clean, and incredibly flavorful and I could not stop eating them. You have to check this out.
A minute away over a bridge is the Isla De La Toja. This home to one of Spain's most visited hotels The Gran Hotel Hesperia La Toja, and the fabulous restaurant "Los Hornos."
The Hake stew served with clams I had for lunch was perfect. The little island is also home to the Capilla de San Sebastian. This chapel is covered completely with scallop shells that are used like shingles that visitors write their names and short messages on. It is very cool.
Santiago de Compostela:
I stayed just ten minutes away from the chapel at the very modern and comfortable five-star Hotel NH Obradoirio. This hotel has everything that you would expect in this price range. The rooms were well done, the bed was one of the most comfortable that I had slept in during my trip and the breakfast buffet was huge. The staff was super nice and let me use their computer. Except for the fact that I had to use my travel tool kit to open the locked windows to let some fresh air, in I loved this place.

Marcel Shipp returned to the University of Massachusetts in January of 2014 after being named running backs coach by Mark Whipple.
Before UMass, Shipp spent the 2012 season as the running backs coach of the Las Vegas Locomotives of the UFL. He also served the Arizona Cardinals in a coaching capacity in 2013.
As an undrafted NFL running back, he spent seven seasons with the Cardinals (2001-2007) and totaled 605 carries for 2,197 yards. In 2002, he had a team-high 834 rushing yards on 188 carries. He repeated this feat the following season playing alongside Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, rushing for 830 yards on 228 carries.
As a running back at Massachusetts, Shipp is widely held as one of the greatest players of all-time.
He was part of the school's 1998 Division I-AA National Championship squad, rushing for 244 yards and three touchdowns in the championship game versus Georgia Southern.
Shipp received first-team All-American honors in 1998 and 1999 and, in addition, received All-Conference honors three times.
Shipp still holds a number of UMass career records, including most carries (1,215), most rushing touchdowns (58), and all-purpose yards (7,759).
Before coming to UMass as a student-athlete, the Paterson, N.J. native attended Milford (Conn.) Academy and Passaic (N.J.) Tech. He was a New Jersey Super 100 pick as one of the state's top 100 high school seniors. Shipp's other high school awards include a First-Team All-State selection and participation in the New Jersey North-South All Star Game.
Shipp holds a degree in Sociology from UMass.

It's been done everyone, Shaq Fu A Legend Reborn has been fully funded on Kickstarter. I already know your first question: can't Shaq just fund this himself? Bid Deez Productions, the developers behind this game, answered this question on their Kickstarter page:
He is the best center ever to play the game. Of course he's got money, and yes he will be investing a lot of his own time and money in this project. We will be investing considerably more of our own money in the game than we are asking for.
The purpose of bringing the game to the public is to see how much interest there is in becoming Shaq's partner and in seeing the game happen. In exchange for your help, Shaq, is offering unprecedented access to his life with incredible perks.
Just so everyone knows, this is not a fighting game like its predecessor. It's going to be a multiplayer 3D beat-em up game. The team describes it as "Streets of Rage meets Street Fighter meets Devil May Cry." According to some of the perks, there has been several Shaq fanatics who have invested much money into the game. One person donated $35,000 to this cause and his prize is having Shaq personally come over to DJ the donator's party. The PC copy will sell for $29.99 when it comes out. Shaq and Big Deez have promised to "not FU it up." Let's hope it'll be a success then.

College Hockey:Robert Morris' Wydo no longer overlooked after Atlantic Hockey tourney MVP performance
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Cody Wydo may just be the best college hockey player you've never heard of.
That's despite the fact that Wydo started the season as the second-leading active goal scorer in the nation behind only one player: Boston College's Johnny Gaudreau.
Atlantic Hockey playoffs
See the tournament bracket and get links to schedules and stories at Atlantic Hockey Playoff Central.
That drought ended this season, when he was named to Atlantic Hockey's first team.
"I don't think Cody was given the recognition he deserved until this year," coach Derek Schooley said as a guest on USCHO Live! last Tuesday.
If Cody Wydo was underappreciated as a major offensive threat in college hockey until just recently, that came to an emphatic end this weekend. Wydo scored four goals and added an assist en route to being named the Atlantic Hockey tournament's most valuable player.
In the championship game Saturday, Wydo gave his team 1-0 and 2-1 leads early and cemented the victory with Robert Morris' final goal.
"The thing about Cody is he scores in bunches and he had three today and he probably could have had six," said Schooley. "And he usually capitalizes on 50 percent of [his chances]."
Saturday's hat trick and one-assist performance increased Wydo's season totals to 30 goals and 22 assists.
He owns his school's single-season record for goals, he tied a Robert Morris career record of 64 goals Saturday, and he is just the fourth Colonials player and only junior to reach the 100-point mark.
He's fifth in the nation in points and trails only Gaudreau in goals.
And Wydo still has at least one game — and another season — to go.
"It's just unbelievable. I didn't even realize it was 30 goals when I scored that one," said Wydo. "Any time you get to the 30-goal mark like that in a season, it's unbelievable."
Wydo's linemates, center Scott Jacklin and right wing Zac Lynch, are given a lot of credit by Wydo for his success. The trio has a combined 63 goals and 133 points for the Colonials this season.
Their chemistry jelled as the team's success grew, helping Robert Morris recover from a terrible 2-12-2 start.
"At the beginning of the year, we actually didn't have that chemistry and [Schooley] actually broke us apart for a while," said Wydo. "When he put us back together is when we started clicking. You've just got to get that chemistry and once you get it, it's just hard for other teams to stop."
Jacklin agreed when he spoke about Wydo after Friday's 5-4 overtime win against Niagara.
"We're just so fast and can find each other all over the ice. I don't think any team has been able to contain us," Jacklin said.
While Wydo may have been overlooked by AHA coaches in previous postseason accolades, his play this weekend was not missed by Canisius coach Dave Smith.
"I can tell you as the coach on Canisius' bench that Cody Wydo was the best player in this tournament. He was the most dangerous when he had the puck, not only tonight but in last night's game," Smith said. "He's an electric player with dynamic skills."
Robert Morris will look to be the latest Atlantic Hockey giant killer in the NCAA tournament.
"Any time you can represent your school, it's great," said Wydo. "Getting our name out there is really huge for the program."
Getting Cody Wydo's name out there should no longer be an issue.

The lengths some men have gone to find love is extraordinary. Some call it an act of desperation, others an experiment. I find it all rather amusing. But in Blake Jamieson's case, I actually found it inspiring because his little Tinder experiment turned into so much more, from a viral blog post on Medium to a featured story on AdWeek and now to an ebook called "TinderHacks" with an associated community membership site in the works.
After reading the book, I decided to conduct my own little experiment, but it was no where near the level of Jamieson's or CamMi Pham's. I was really just curious about how many matches I could get if I swiped right 100 percent of the time. After two heavy swipe sessions spaced out by a week, I ended up with a 62 percent match rate and a 29 percent message rate. Only one message was worth responding to; the biggest trouble men seem to have, in my experience, is keeping a conversation going and escalating it from online to an offline first date. Maybe I'm just really hard to woo. I don't know.
Understanding the frustration women have with dating, Jamieson turned all of his experimental research into an actionable ebook men could use to woo more women. In the section of the book where he describes what "TinderHacks" is and isn't, I love that he encourages men to become the real men we women long for.
"TinderHacks is a call-to-arms for boys to become men. Real women want real men who take initiative, are confident enough to make fun of themselves, and aren't afraid to take chances," he writes. Here are five key takeaways from "TinderHacks" that will help all the fellas step up their dating game on Tinder:
1. First impressions matter. What kind of message are you sending to women with your photos? Stay away from shirtless mirrored selfies and make sure your main photo is of you and only you. I can't stress this point enough. If your default picture includes another woman or your best friend, chances are pretty high that we will think that: a) you're trying too hard to make yourself appear more attractive than you really are, or b) your best friend is much cuter than you and will be greatly disappointed when we realize you're not him. Jamieson recommends mixing up your photos to convey that you're athletic, social, have a good sense of humor and clean up nicely.
2. Create a bio that facilitates conversation. Jamieson recommends writing your bio with a clear objective in mind. If your goal is to get women to message you first so you can avoid the blatant rejection of her ignoring you should you message first, then make it easy for women to start a conversation with you by including an icebreaker question in your bio. Example: Where's your happiest place on earth? I've actually used this one in the past when I was on Match a long time ago. The cliche answer would be Disneyland, but the real goal of the question was to find out where people like to hang out. For me, my happiest place on earth is Barnes & Noble. Some of the answers I got from other people were pretty fun and engaging. Anyone who sent me a message that said "Disneyland!" got ignored.
3. Message her first. I can't stress this point enough. Women like feeling wanted and desired. We'll gladly reciprocate your advances if it means encouraging the things you do that we love and enjoy while discouraging the things we don't. Besides, Patti Stanger is always saying how "the penis does the picking" so let a woman know you picked her by reaching out to her first. Besides, given the fact that so few men are sending the first message, you'll automatically stand out from the lot as a man's man.
4. Make every moment count. Tinder's latest update includes the ability to capture "moments" in your everyday life. Moments is a new feature that helps people get to know each other. Instead of telling people who you are, what you're about and how you spend your free time, now you can capture a moment and show people why you're someone worth getting to know. Jamieson writes that Moments are a great way to rekindle old matches. After interviewing his female friends, he discovered that less than five percent of men are taking advantage of this new feature. Moments are way underutilized which can give men the upper hand by setting themselves apart from all the other men using Tinder. It's also a great way to get a conversation started with someone after she's liked one of your Moments.
5. Get the number. Let's not forget that the goal of meeting people on Tinder is to actually meet them in person. The trick of the trade is moving the conversation off Tinder, but in order for that to happen you'll first need to exchange contact information at some point in time. A conversation on Tinder, or any online dating website or app for that matter, is meaningless if it doesn't lead to a first date. Jamieson dedicates an entire section of his book to teaching men how exactly to turn conversations into dates. The best way to get a girl to give you her number is by giving her your number first. Most of the time, women will reply back with her number because she's operating under the notion that it's the man's job to text her first. You giving her your number is simply a green light that you are, indeed, interested in moving the conversation offline.

Queens rapper Cormega will return with his fifth studio album Mega Philosophy on July 22nd , after a nearly five year hiatus.
Cormega is often described as one of the most underrated lyricists in hip-hop history. That appellation of "underrated" has always been curious though.
His 2001 debut The Realness was critically acclaimed , as was the rest of his official discography -- his 2002 followup The True Meaning, won the Source Independent Album of the Year Award--.
Still, despite consistently demonstrating acute technical ability; mainstream success has eluded Mega.
Philosophy's lead single "Industry" posits that record execs are really the only ones underrating him.
I guess they have a problem with/ anything positive/ It doesn't make sense/ If it doesn't bring dollars in/
You're living in the moment/ Feeling yourself/ They're living in plush homes/What's really success/ and what's SWAG?/ I don't care how you dress/or what you drive/I want rhymes/that really impress/
Cormega makes the case that the industry is on-tilt in a manner that forgoes musical quality for ....Well...... What you hear in supermarkets.
He's really objectively correct, and knowing as much, he has always maintained creative control of his projects.
This ethos notoriously cost him his spot in The Frim; the hip-hop super-group which comprised of Cormega, Nas, AZ, Dr. Dre, and Foxy Brown. When Cormega refused to sign creative control of his career over to Nas and Def Jam exec Steve Stout, he was ousted and replaced on the album with Nature.
The Firm: The Album, sans Cormega, is widely regarded as one of the most disappointing releases of all-time.
Mega has amicably made amends with both Nas and Nature --Nature is even featured on the new album--, but he clearly has not turned a blind eye to the cynical nature of the current business.
In a recent interview, Cormega told AllHipHop.com about playing the new single to a " shady record exec". "He turned red and said he doesn't like it, so I knew I had a nice revealing song."
If there are still any anxious jitters from Mega supporters, some of those fears should be assuaged with a listen to the new pre-release stream of "Rap Basquiat".
"Rap Basquiat" finds Mega in top form; riding the groove smoothly from the gate through the homestretch. Though in truth, the real sprint starts with the second verse. Here, doubling up the rhyme scheme impressively; Mega shows his deftness at linking bar-after-bar without break, while maintaining remarkable focus on the clarity of message.
Put your ear-plugs in for the last 20 seconds of the song though, as comedian Tony Rock -- Chris Rock's brother -- starts yelling at you for not respecting true lyricists ; as if you didn't just listen to a Cormega song until the end to even hear him.
Obviously, Tony Rock is just super-pumped about how dominant that verse was. But, more than that; he's yelling it to anyone who can hear. And that's how it feels to know truly profound, yet esoteric rawness... You want to yell at people.
One More Thing: I buried the lede intentionally --like Colombo-- to give a nice little take-home for hip-hop heads. That is, that the ENTIRE album is produced by Large Professor.
Mega Philosophy will be available July 22nd via Red Line Music Distribution. Check back for the full review.

Some Problem Banks May Never Exit Federal Bailout
More banks are missing dividend, interest and other repayments to the Treasury Department and some may never exit from a federal financial-system bailout program, a government watchdog said Thursday.
More than three years after the launch of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the U.S. government still owns stakes in about 366 banks. While the biggest institutions, such as Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp., have long since paid back their bailouts, many smaller banks have struggled to repay the government.
"Institutions that continue to miss payments and problem institutions may have difficulty ever fully repaying their [Capital Purchase Program] investments," the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, said in a report.
TARP's Capital Purchase Program, or CPP, was the main federal effort to help stabilize financial markets. Treasury provided capital to banks through the purchase of shares or debt.
To be sure, Treasury has turned a profit on the program. The government invested $204.9 billion and so far has gotten $211.5 billion back. But $16.7 billion in taxpayer money remains outstanding–much of that concentrated in a few struggling institutions. As of Jan. 31, 25 institutions accounted for $11.2 billion, or 67%, of outstanding investments, GAO said.
In the meantime, more banks are missing dividend payments that are due to Treasury. As of Nov. 30, 158 had missed quarterly payments, a marked increase from eight in February 2009, GAO said. And the number of problem banks–those that demonstrated financial, operational or managerial weaknesses that threatened their continued financial viability–rose to 130 in December 2011 from 47 in December 2009 GAO said.
Tim Massad, Treasury's assistant secretary for financial stability, said Treasury expects to receive a positive return of more than $20 billion on the program.
"We will continue to work to wind down the program in a way that ensures financial stability and protects the interest of taxpayers," Massad said in a letter to the GAO.

Softball Comes From Behind Twice To Sweep Harvard, 4-1 And 4-3
April 26, 2005
AMHERST, Mass. - Massachusetts (26-14-1, 9-3 A-10) had to come from behind twice in the late innings, but swept Harvard (15-19, 6-4 Ivy League), 4-1 and 4-3, Tuesday afternoon at the UMass Softball Complex. Freshman Stacy Cullington (Encinitas, Calif.) hit a game-winning, three-run home run that capped a four-run sixth inning and gave UMass a 4-1 win in the first game against the Crimson. Cullington then singled and scored the winning run on an error as UMass scored three times in the final two innings to take a 4-3 win in the night cap.
Game one started off as a classic pitcher's duel between UMass junior Barb LaFogg (Williamsburg, Mass.) and Harvard's Shelly Madick. UMass sophomore Amanda Morin (Worcester, Mass.) registered the first hit of the game with a two-out single in the third inning, but she was stranded. Lauren Stefanchik led off the fourth inning with a single up the middle and was then safe at second when Lauren Bettinelli reached on a fielder's choice.
After LaFogg fanned Cecily Gordon for the inning's first out, UMass recorded the second out of the inning on a play at the plate. Danielle Kerper hit a ground ball heading up the middle. UMass freshman shortstop Stacy Cullington (Encinitas, Calif.) made a diving stop and flipped to junior second baseman Kristi Stefanoni (Columbus, N.J.). Bettinelli was ruled safe at second, but Stefanchik tried to score. Stefanoni gunned home and nabbed Bettinelli as junior catcher KJ Kelley (Rainier, Ore.) blocked the plate. LaFogg then got out of the inning when Beth Sabin lined out to Cullington at short.
In the top of the fifth, Harvard recorded consecutive singles after there were two outs. Pinch hitter Annie Dell'Aria then came in and gave the Crimson a 1-0 lead with a single to right-center field. LaFogg recorded a strikeout to get out of the inning.
Then in the sixth, the Minutewoman offense broke out. Sophomore Candice Molinari (Glendora, Calif.) led off with a double to left and then scored one batter later when Kelley roped a single off the right-center field fence. After senior Denise Denis (Middle Grove, N.Y.) sacrificed freshman pinch runner Maggie Feix (North Kingstown, R.I.) to second, senior Pam Sulick (Mission Viejo, Calif.) was hit by a pitch to put two on with one out. Proctor struck out, but Cullington came up with the clutch hit. She hit a three-run home run on a 3-2 pitch to right field giving UMass a 4-1 lead. It was her third home run of the season.
LaFogg (16-9) worked around an error in the seventh and closed the door for her 16th win of the season. She scattered four hits and did not walk a batter while striking out seven. For Harvard, Madick worked 5.2 innings. She gave up six hits and two walks while fanning three.
Cullington was 2-2 with three RBI in the game and the only UMass player with more than one hit.
Harvard scored twice off junior Jenna Busa (Lexington, Mass.) in the first inning of game two. Both runs were unearned as the first two batters of the game reached via UMass errors. UMass got one of the runs back in the bottom of the third inning. Busa led off with a single. She moved to second on a sacrifice, third on a ground out and then scored on a wild pitch.
After Harvard took a 3-1 lead with an unearned run in the top of the sixth inning, the Minutewomen came back to tie the game with a pair in the bottom of the sixth. Morin and Molinari led off the inning with consecutive singles. Both moved up a base on a fly ball by Kelley. Denis then flied out to centerfield and Morin scored from third. The throw in by Lauren Stefanchik went into the Harvard dugout and Molinari crossed the plate with the tying run.
Busa retired the Crimson in order in the top of the seventh and UMass came up looking for the winning run. Cullington singled to left with one out and then Busa singled as well to put the winning run in scoring position. After pinch hitter Amanda Acampora (Orange, Conn.) struck out, Morin came up looking to drive in the winning run. She hit a hard ground ball to Lauren Brown at shortstop. Brown booted the ball and then threw the ball into the ground. Cullington never stopped running around third and attempted to score. Brown picked the ball up and threw home. Cullington's hook slide to the third-base side of home plate allowed her to evade the tag and UMass won the second game, 4-3.
Busa (10-5) was not charged with an earned run as UMass committed three errors in the field behind her. She scattered two hits and a walk while fanning five.
Becky Voaklander pitched the first six innings for Harvard and allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and no walks. She struck out six batters. Michelle McAteer was on the mound in the seventh when UMass won the game. The run was unearned. She allowed two hits and no walks while striking out one.
Massachusetts will continue its season-long, nine-game homestand tomorrow against Connecticut. The Minutewomen and Huskies will play a single game beginning at 5:00 PM. UMass will then host La Salle for a doubleheader beginning at 3:00 PM on Friday. All three games will be broadcast live online. In addition, live stats will be available via Gametracker.
