IT Failures Seem To Be Everywhere: Is This Part of The New Normal?
When Kathleen Sebelius recently fell on the sword for the miserable rollout of the Affordable Healthcare Act's website, the event sparked some other serious considerations about the way IT in general and software specifically has woven itself into the lives of the average American generally and business specifically.

See your career as a 'Tour of Duty'
The idea of 'Tours of Duty' was coined by Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn. It was published in his book The Start-Up of You (2012) and in an HBR article together with Ben Casnocha and Chris Yeh (June 2013). The main ideas are:
Establish a 'Tour of Duty' of 2-4 years, rather than the 'lie' of lifelong employment and loyalty;

would you agree with what this woman is saying?
Coming from a mom who formula feeds.. This seriusly made me absolutely livid. I mean like so made I couldn't believe how she was coming put about it.
Here's my problem with limiting formula marketing - some women make a concious choice to formula feed. Those women and their babies deserve to have the best alternate feeding product available. Without a competitive-based marketing system, research and development for alternative feeding products will shrivel up and improvements to formulation will come to a standstill. That hurts women who chose to formula feed, and their babies, and although I'm a breastfeeding advocate (and am currently EBFing) I don't feel the need to be so extreme as to do that. The only other way to promote formula R&D would be through government subsidy and I'd much rather have the government promote breastfeeding awareness and education and let the formula companies duke it out through advertising and marketing in the private market.

Sure. But if a woman wants to breastfeed, it's been well-documented that formula samples and advertising will reduce her chances of being successful.
But how do you tell a company "you are not allowed to advertise?" Because that's basically what you're saying/wanting.
Here's the Open letter to Baghdadi (leader of ISIS) Signed by 126 Muslim Leaders worldwide.

What's Islam? Ask a Muslim!
I think that some people take the whole BFing thing to an extreme level though. Really? The best thing she could compare FFM to is a junkie? It's retail. There are a LOT of women that simply cant or do not want to BF. It's the mom's choice. She's not killing the child by formula feeding them. I was breast fed and growing as a child I had all kinds of illnesses and my immune system is being aided by multiple medications.
I had a breast reduction in 2003. After finding out that I couldn't BF (from a nurse) she had the nerve to tell me "It's unfortunate that you made such a horrible and selfish decision when you were younger". Really? Thanks. Packing around size Fs at the age of 16..wasn't really thinking about BFing back then. I was thinking about the immense back pain I was in.
I had no idea I wasn't going to be able to breast feed. I threw away the free samples. I ignored even doing research on FF. But sitting in that hospital/coming home to no formula & having to switch her formual 6 different times...I wish I would have gotten more information, even if my choice was BFing.

If you're offended by it, then you've got major regret issues of your own.
Nope, that's not it, but thanks for trying. My problem is that banning formula marketing could have a negative impact on the health of the children of women who have made a different decision than me - the decision to formula feed.

For some, who never grew up seeing anyone BF, had no support system.....that free sample plants a seed of doubt that BFing can be successful. That is what they want. It happened to me the first time around.
This is so very true. Not enough women give the formula manufacturing companies enough credit. They KNOW what they are doing. They know they are setting these moms up for failure from the very beginning. They know that ONE sample will turn into exclusive bottle-feeding for most women.

Meg, Canadian Mommy to
If formula feeding makes me an addict, I guess the BFing moms can get off my back since I have an illness and can't help myself.
Meg, even by WHO standards, they ARE allowed to advertise, but within certain limits.
Here's the Open letter to Baghdadi (leader of ISIS) Signed by 126 Muslim Leaders worldwide.
Help Syrians HERE.
What's Islam? Ask a Muslim!
We tell a lot of companies that they aren't allowed to advertise, or limit advertising (like cigarettes, medications, etc) again - I'M NOT COMPARING FF TO SMOKING, DON'T FREAK OUT AT ME!
But formula is different than most products, for two reasons:
1) Baby's health is directly and significantly affected by the choice to use formula.
2) Once a baby is being formula fed, it's not easy and often not possible to change your mind. This isn't one brand of bread vs another, or one brand of diapers vs another. Once you start FF, you can't just one day 2 months later realize your baby isn't reacting well to formula and turn your breasts back on and stop using formula. Once you are formula feeding, you are pretty much stuck formula feeding whether you want to continue or not.
And I agree with the pp - while longer mat leaves would help, I'm in Canada and we have pretty dismal BF rates as well... locally our breastfeeding initiation rates are above 90% for FTM (so more than 90% of women chose to breastfeed in hospital) but fall dramatically after that, and very few are BF at 6 months, even with a 12 month mat leave. That formula marketing plays a big role. If it didn't, they wouldn't spend millions of dollars on it.
We're not okay with other companies giving out misinformation that will cause you to have to use their product long term with no potential to stop using it, which has a negative effect on your health. We shouldn't be okay with it with formula.

Meg, even by WHO standards, they ARE allowed to advertise, but within certain limits.
Not to the general public
5.1 There should be no advertising or other form of promotion to the general public
of products within the scope of this Code
Now I don't think it should go that far BUT there should be some regulations to help give optimal support for BFing while still giving support and choices for FFing. I agree with a lot of the code.

Bigg Boss 6: Imam Siddiqui's days coming to an end in house?
On the show Bigg Boss 6, you have seen two action packed houses - the modern house with 10 contestants and the padosi house with 4 contestants. Finally, Bigg Boss decided to break the barrier between both the houses and get them all under one roof back again. After 55 days of struggle, it was a full house yet again at Bigg Boss 6 with the merger of the modern and the rustic looking mud house.
Where the modern house contestants were clueless about their padosis, while the padosi housemates kept a close eye on their every move in the modern house. The two houses were merged over this weekend. There was a panic created in both the Bigg Boss houses during the merger. While the padosi house contestants were given just 2 minutes to evacuate their house, post which the house was broken.
The contestants in Bigg Boss modern house were asked to gather in the activity area in an emergency situation. While the modern house contestants were in the activity area, the padosi house contestants entered the modern house and were glad to be back. Post the merger, the house witnessed the changing chemistries inside it. Continue to read Bigg Boss 6 synopsis on slider.

Une journée parfaite ! Temps magnifique, bateau superbe avec un équipage adorable, plage de Whiteheaven idyllique, bref le rêve !
Amazing day and amazing crew!!
such a great experience, worth every penny. The crew are well train to meet the weather conditions. one of the snorkeling reef site. crew are super friendly.
Such a perfect day! Worth every penny for the priceless experience.
Great day out, would highly recommend. Need to be reasonably steady on your feet.
Tour was great and the crew did a great job as well! I would definitely do it again!
Amazing tour!!! The staff were wonderful and the views and experiences spectacular. Would definitely recommend.
great tour and great weather. I'd do it again!
A bit windy, but all in all a great trip!
This was a great cruise. Just what I needed to relax after a hectic trip! Weather was a bit dodgy but guess that's what happens when you go in Winter.
This trip was really good value. Great day organised by a fabulous team, on a lovely boat and with great food and drink!!
This is one great trip... a 'must do' if you are new to the Whitsundays. The crew were great and made us all feel very welcome. Great barby too!
The sailing trip was really great & such a nice sailing boat! The food was delicious! However the weather really makes or breakes your trip as we had some rain showers. Whitehaven beach was amazing.
Anthony M USA
The sailing and customer service portions of the trip were fine. The snorkeling portion was a joke. Poor visibility, few fish, and 3-4 metres to the bottom = a joke. So much for that!
I can not make any assessment the reason is that even thought you at Viator comfirmed the trip there was now availability so there was nothing we could do
and Viator had got this information but didn't care to informera us

- In the prison, a former drug addict claims that he was the cause of the zombie outbreak. How? He was in prison again, and prayed to God for help to get clean, and the next day news of the zombies broke. What makes it is how the next panel has Rick and Lori giving a Flat "What." look before Rick changes the conversation with an awkward Okay.
- While Rick and Tyreese are clearing out the prison, they enter the cafeteria expecting a horde of walkers to come rushing out at them... Only to see a mostly empty room with 4 guys sitting at a table, eating meat loaf.
Prisoner: Hey, you guys want some meatloaf?
- Kirkman lives up to his statement early on that aliens would enter the story in issue 75, with a joke story about how aliens were behind the zombies, and several characters both dead and alive have acquired superhero outfits and are fighting them...and the Governor has become The Quisling and now uses a kickass mech suit.
- There's something darkly humorous about Rick and Tyreese still taunting each other while both are lying in bloody heaps on the floor.
- One random panel shows a zombie walking over a corpse and getting its intestine stuck in it, causing it to let out what appears to be a confused grunt before falling over.
- "Oh, by the way: Ezekiel has a tiger."
Michonne: You got to be fucking kidding me.
- And when Michonne meets them both, what is her reaction?
- The ending of "March to War", as the Saviors ask Negan what comes next:
Negan: We're the big swinging dick of this world — have been for a long fucking time... but it seems people have been forgetting that. So now our big swinging dick is going to swing harder...and faster, until we take off like a motherfucking helicopter and blow all these motherfuckers away!(Beat Panel of the Saviors looking confused at one another)Negan: [Facepalming] *sigh* We're going to war.
Savior: (Returns Negan's barbwire coated bat, Lucille)Negan: Were you gentle? Were you kind?Savior: Yes sir.Negan: Did you treat her like a lady?Savior: Uh... yes.Negan: (dead serious) Did you eat her pussy like a lady?Savior: Well, I...Negan: (cheerful smile) I'm just fucking with you! A baseball bat doesn't have a pussy! Now get the fuck out.
- Hell, just about 50% of anything Negan says is a delightful mix of Psychopathic Manchild, Cluster F-Bomb, Refuge in Vulgarity and Crosses the Line Twice. He even trolls his own soldiers and guards:
- Not long after Carl is shot by Otis, he laments that he'll have a scar there. Sophia claims scars are sexy... and then they both admit that they have no idea what the word "sexy" means.
- In the letters column for an issue not long after Glenn's death there is a long, angry letter telling Kirkman how much he sucks for killing Glenn. And then we get to the end and see that the letter is from Steven Yeun, Glenn's actor from the TV show.

This may be the best of the NBA 2K11 promo commercials yet…
Report: Sixers expected to waive Tibor Pleiss after trade with Jazz
On Friday, the Jazz traded German center Tibor Pleiss to the Sixers along with two second-round picks for Kendall Marshall. The big draw of the trade for Philly was the picks, and Pleiss is not expected to stay with the Sixers, according to Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia's Jessica Camerato.
Pleiss had a forgettable season with Utah, and the Sixers have a glut of bigs including Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor, Joel Embiid and Dario Saric. It would have been virtually impossible for Pleiss to crack the rotation, and it's unlikely another team picks up his contract, which has $3 million guaranteed this season.
Jordan releases new Russell Westbrook ad, may include a shot at Kevin Durant
As a Jordan Brand athlete, Russell Westbrook is under the same Nike umbrella as former teammate Kevin Durant. But his latest Jordan spot, released Friday, has a very pointed tagline: "Some run, some make runways."
Given the circumstances, it's hard to interpret that as anything other than a reference to Durant signing with the Warriors and Westbrook signing an extension with the Thunder.
Kobe Bryant on how teams should see Warriors: "'OK, lace 'em up. Let's go."
For two decades, Kobe Bryant saw everyone and everything as an obstacle to overcome: The Pacers, Sixers, Nets, Magic, Celtics, Tim Duncan, Gregg Popovich, Smush Parker, a torn Achilles. It didn't matter. Kobe's work ethic and drive had him rising above it all.
His focus hasn't changed now. Kobe was on the Jim Rome show, and the topic of the new-look Warriors with Kevin Durant came up, along with the "woe is me" attitude of some players (and plenty of owners and GMs).
"I would have thought less about myself if I looked at that move and said, 'That's unfair,'" he said. "If you're a real competitor, you look at that and say, 'OK, lace 'em up. Let's go. I don't care how many players you have over there; we're still going to take you down.'"
Easier said than done to make that happen, but that attitude is the only one to have if you think you have a chance. You can be sure LeBron James is thinking that way and telling his Cavaliers teammates the same.
We're going to miss Kobe.
Report: Dwyane Wade's cousin killed as innocent bystander in gang shooting in Chicago
This news is just sickening. In a world with just too much sickening news.
According to NBC 5 in Chicago (which spoke to police), Dwyane Wade's first cousin Nykea Aldridge was pushing a stroller down the street when she was shot and killed as an innocent in the crossfire of a gang shooting.
The 32-year-old woman, whom family identified as Nykea Aldridge, was apparently the unintended victim of a gang shooting, police said. She was walking around 3:30 p.m. in the 6300 block of South Calumet when two males approached another male and opened fire, police said.
Wade tweeted this.
Aldridge was on her way to a local school to register her kids (they had just moved) when the shooting took place. There has been a rash of gang and gun violence in Chicago in the past year, and Dwyane's mother Jolinda Wade had just been on a panel on ESPN's Undefeated talking about it.
Wade is coming to play for his hometown Chicago Bulls this season.
Our thoughts are with Nykea Aldridge's family and friends.

Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals are at a major crossroads
As if an eight-game skid following a 4-0 start isn't infuriating enough, how about a championship-caliber defense being wasted on this alleged offense the Arizona Cardinals are force feeding their fans on a weekly basis?
Two weeks ago, the Cardinals defense forced six turnovers only to fall short in Atlanta. On Sunday against the Jets, Ray Horton's unit came up with four more takeaways, including three interceptions (to go along with three sacks) against a hapless and ultimately benched Mark Sanchez.
Unfortunately for the Cardinals, Greg McElroy proved to be the difference maker for the Jets, throwing the go-ahead touchdown pass on the first play of the fourth quarter.
I could spend the remainder of this column ripping the Cardinals offense. I could talk about how they only mustered five first downs and 137 yards of total offense. I could crack lame jokes about how they were 0-for-15 on third down conversions, or how according to ESPN Stats & Info, rookie Ryan Lindley was just the second quarterback since the merger to throw for less than 75 yards with at least 30 pass attempts. Lindley was 10-of-31 for 72 yards and an interception. I could also point the spotlight on a ground attack that mustered 81 yards — 40 of which came on run by safety Rashad Johnson on a fake point — against the league's 30th ranked rushing defense. But we're past the point of pointing fingers aren't we?
What's needed are solutions, and unfortunately the only solution I can offer this season is to get Kevin Kolb back on the field as soon as he's healthy enough to go.
Sorry John Skelton fans, Ken Whisenhunt made it crystal clear after the game that Skelton wasn't an option today and doesn't appear to be one going forward.
"You always do what you think gives you the best chance," Whisenhunt said. "That's what we did."
Kolb is the only quarterback on this roster that gives the Cardinals the best chance to win. They're 4-2 in games in which he's played this season, and at this point I don't think anyone in that locker room would disagree with starting him.
Aside from avoiding a 12-game losing streak to finish the season, the Cardinals also need Kolb back to see if he's their guy going forward into next season.
I have maintained all along that the Cardinals would have been fighting for a playoff spot if Kolb had managed to stay healthy. Based on how he started the season, I believe the losses to the Vikings, Falcons, Rams and Jets would have gone the other direction. That's obviously a huge "but."
Kolb has had trouble staying on the field the last two seasons, which must also be taken into consideration.
These next four weeks should be an audition for every offensive player not named Larry Fitzgerald, and every coach not named Ray Horton.
The quote of the season came from Fitzgerald following the 7-6 loss Sunday.
"You gotta laugh to keep from crying," the All-Pro wideout said.
There may be several grown men crying about a month from now.

Built in 1887, Mystery Manor was once a magnificent dwelling, "The meeting place of the elite of Omaha." The happy times ended when the stock market crashed. By the end of the day William Hall, his vast fortune gone, was a broken man…and quite insane!
It has been widely rumored that the ghost of William Hall still wanders these halls every October waiting for strangers to come so that he might resume his terrible vengeance upon any soul who enters his home.
Mystery Manor offers bone chilling behind the scenes tours which feature spectacular and creepy stories about the history and REAL hauntings of the manor.
716 North 18th Street
The Shadow's Edge shocks its visitors with high-quality chills, jolts, and disembodied shrieks while providing a seasonal home for the area's orphaned undead and roaming reanimated.
As you traverse the halls of the cursed abode, expect evil clowns, brain-hungry zombies, and skeletons, bitter after losing their skin in a mishap with pop rocks and an industrial vat of liquid nitrogen. All of The Shadow's Edge creatures were created with professional special effects, so nearly all of your senses will be bombarded by the house's fully-realized harbingers of total-body horror.
There are more than 15 rooms in The Shadow's Edge, connected by a series of labyrinthine hallways. Ideal for fearless pairs of best pals or ghoul families who've just moved into the neighborhood and have no one to bond with, The Shadow's Edge Haunted House injects cherished seasonal scares into the surrounding scare-free community.

States With Highest Rates of Preventable Deaths
By Dennis Thompson
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, May 1, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People in the southeastern United States have a much greater risk of dying early from any of the nation's five leading causes of death, federal health officials reported Thursday.
Those living in eight southern states -- Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee -- endure 28 percent to 33 percent of all potentially preventable deaths from heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke and unintentional injury, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates.
"This data is yet another demonstration that when it comes to health in this country, your longevity and health are more determined by your ZIP code than they are by your genetic code," CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said during a news conference.
The top five causes of death accounted for nearly two-thirds of all U.S. deaths in 2010, and nearly 900,000 Americans die prematurely every year from these causes, the CDC said.
Death rates for each cause of death vary greatly from state to state. So CDC researchers compared all states against the states with the lowest rates of death to estimate how many deaths could be prevented if those low rates were a national trend.
According to the CDC, it should be possible on a national basis to prevent:
- 34 percent of premature deaths from heart disease, prolonging about 92,000 lives.
- 21 percent of premature cancer deaths, prolonging about 84,500 lives.
- 39 percent of premature deaths from chronic lower respiratory diseases, prolonging about 29,000 lives.
- 33 percent of premature stroke deaths, prolonging about 17,000 lives.
- 39 percent of premature deaths from unintentional injuries, prolonging about 37,000 lives.
These numbers are particularly important for the southeastern states, which led the nation with the highest numbers and rates of preventable deaths in all five top causes of death.
The southeastern states have a combination of unhealthy trends that increases the overall risk of premature death, including higher smoking rates, greater obesity rates, lower rates of physical activity and less blood pressure control, Frieden said.

Im right in thinking that a player bought 18 months ago for less than a million, is being touted around with a new price of 14million makes good business sense dont you think. Now, i really dont wanna see Palacios go, BUT if Bruce can use the money earned from the sale to bring in other little gems like Zaki, then im happy.
14 million pounds say alot for a small club like ours.

My D800 is sharpest in right hand corner ??
I have am trying to figure out why i am having so many soft photos with my D800 compared to my D3s.
I set up a newspaper on a wall and took 3 photos, one focusing in the middle, one on the left and one on the right.
The middle and left looks very soft wile the right hand looks very sharp ... how is this possible ??
I tried it with both my 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.4 set to 2.8 and the results were the same.

Are you saying that the ones taken with the middle and left foucus points produce soft images or that the middle to left side of the image is soft with all focus points?
The first would suggest miscalibrated focus (along the lines of the infamous left focus issue) whereas the latter might suggest a misaligned sensor or mount.

this film is just a long recruitment video for the church, although it has got a great message there is some really poor acting at times. heart warming in pieces yes but a bit too cheesy in others 5/10 sorry guys

Nothing but Christian-Fundamentalist propaganda bullcrap. I have nothing against anyone's religious beliefs but just keep it to yourself and stop trying to indoctrinate others. Will everyone stop with the crappy comments about how we all need to be good, god-fearing people. Need I remind you that you watched this illegally. Basically, you stole it and the Bible is pretty clear on what to do with thiefs. "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched." (Mark 9:43) You all made the horrible mistake of disobeying God and that is not a smart move, people. He will literally force you to eat your babies Sushi-Buffet style. "If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters."(Leviticus 26:27-30) This film teaches directly against the teaching's of God. You're not allowed to love anyone more than God, even your own family. "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:35-27)

This movie is CRAP and corny as FUCK! Don't waste your time.....Movie is made for a specific audience ONLY. If you fall into the category of people who they made this movie for, then this movie is for you. This movie is mad for the type of people who wake up on SUNDAYS and go to Church and listen to Christian rock. All of which is FULL of SHIT and a HUGE waste of time.

i personally hate religious films but if its your thing then give it a watch. as for the comments, if you really want to live your life according to god and raise your family that way then not stealing films would probably be a good way to start. maybe a bit hypocritical?
|Posted by cookiemeat 4 years, 8 months ago
This movie is meant for christians people to watch so they can pat each other on that back about their policies and what they try to say they believe in. As a member of a non geesus religion I find it scary as they feel good about locking people up over life choices. The murderers and thieves are one thing but if that was a bag of cocaine isn't that a seed bearing plant extract? Something under the christian bible is supposed to be kosher right? My religion dictates that I do not dictate what other do but I can ask why or for them not to nicely. I am not supposed to enforce my will onto others and hopefully they will not force their ways onto me. With christians around I find it hard to see that happening. From an outside view looking into the christian church it seems a large part of it is corrupt and seeks power over others in politics and is being backed by people just using their god as a way to gain a voting base. If that is true I hope they can see that and realize just because someone else agrees or says they agree in the same gods they do not have to agree in the same possible oppressive politics. I am a member of a small Taoist sect known for taking it easy, living simply, and being humble. We believe in balance in the universe and claim no hierarchy and most of all do not bind others to rules. That is our one rule. And maybe if its over the line you should mark it zero.

A true Christian would never be a cop, enforcing man's law, and let God judge the sinners. This a propaganda film blurring authority and religion. The most effective propaganda is emotionally charged thereby bypassing critical thinking and judging by many of the comments here, this film is full of it.

Movie made for Christians or CHURCH people as I call them. 2/10

OMG this is creepy

For the people saying it's on the religious side, that's because it was written by a Christian man who wanted to prove that faith in the lord can bring about so much. It preached because it's a Christian movie. Also it's made by a Christian company. same for fireproof and left behind and facing the giants. they are all made by the same company. and Sony is the DVD publisher, not the people who have anything to do with the movies. also the company was started by a church.

This movie is fascist propaganda to make you think Officer Friendly is on your side.

Blah, too religious for me. And yes, paints cops in too clean of light.

i almost watched it until i read these comments. 50 years ago people knew the sort of subliminal messages the media could infuse us with and the power the ability to create these films gives
|Posted by armychicka2008 4 years, 8 months ago
its a great movie even if your not religous it makes you kinda think of what kind of parent you are and makes you think about the honesty and integrity you are teaching your kids
|Posted by Dallasjmoore 4 years, 8 months ago
I gave it 45 minutes and thats all I could take. This movie is too religious for me. I like to watch movies for entertainment, not to be preached to. Fail
|Posted by KaylaMH20 4 years, 8 months ago
I really liked this movie but I will say that some of the acting was pretty bad and the music was cheesy.
|Posted by SPQR111 4 years, 8 months ago
a Christian, church recruting movie. Acting is not bad but the whole thing is far from the real life... 4.5 out of 10

View the iconic Golden Gate Bridge from your penthouse room and decks. Walk to the Saint Francis Yacht Club or hundreds of restaurants. Jog throught the Predidio. Or enjoy a quiet night at home just blocks from the bustle.
It looks like a traditional San Francisco home on the outside but inside it's a contemporary architectural work of art with Golden Gate Bridge Views. Warm walnut floors and thresholds and soft furnishings make this contemporary home very warm and comfortable. The architecture is so striking that the home has been featured in magazines, on French TV and on the American Institute of Architects home tour.
The ground floor has a separate living room with antiqued mirrors and a gas fireplace. The dining room has a beautiful custom table that expands to seat 12 comfortably surrounded by soft, padded walls. Next to the dining room is the sleek kitchen, a mix of wood, Carrera marble and glass. The appliances are state-of-the-art. Dinner wear, glass wear and serving wear is ample for any occasion. The kitchen and dining rooms open to the family room. It has a large wood-burning fireplace, large lounge area and huge sliding doors that open onto the deck and the beautiful, level back yard. The powder room finishes off this floor.
The back yard has a deck with chairs and sofas covered by a glass deck above. The water wall pours down the side before pouring over the steps into a long pond. At the end is the fire pit, rising out of the water. It's surrounded by seating and a large picnic table. The built-in gas BBQ and outdoor range are great for outdoor entertaining or just cooking a great meal.
An open, metal staircase with glass rails leads up 2 floors and is capped by a huge skylight letting in lots of natural light. The second floor holds 3 bedrooms and two of the bathrooms. The two front bedrooms have perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge. One has a queen bed and the other has bunk beds and is decorated in a safari theme for kids. The guest bathroom on this floor has a tub/shower with a large and very unique skylight over it. A laundry room has Miele front-loading washer and dryer.
The master bedroom is large with a queen bed, sofa, ottomans and plasma TV. Large sliding doors open onto a glass deck with views of the Bay and Alcatraz and overlooks the back yard. The master bathroom feels like the most luxurious spa you've ever been in. It's sleek and modern with stone of two tones punctuated by a stainless steel tub and double sinks. In the center, a 12 foot tall cube of frosted glass glows from the skylight above-- this is the master shower. Wash your hair watching the clouds drift overhead.
Taking the staircase up another level brings you to the penthouse level with its unique roofline and walls of windows. The front doors slide to open the room completely onto a deck overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and the Presidio National Park, The Palace of Fine Arts, the mansions of Pacific Heights and the Bay. The back windows look out at Alcatraz, the Bay and the buildings of Russian Hill. This room has a very contemporary full bathroom with a glass ceiling. The room has a day-bed that's a full bed that sleeps 2 people. It's open to the stair hall but the penthouse makes a fairly private suite with a view. The wet bar with fridge makes this penthouse playroom a playroom for all ages!
The garage fits two cars tandem. It has a well-equipped work-out room with a weight machine, a Bowflex machine, a stationary bike, Step Mill, free weights, Ballet bar, and a plasma TV for using your favorite workout DVD's.
The home is located in the best part of Pacific Heights/Cow Hollow. The streets here dead-end into the Presidio National Park or Pacific Heights so there's little traffic and noise, but it's walking distance to the Union Street, Chestnut Street and Fillmore Street shopping districts. Jog to the Golden Gate Bridge (about 2.5 miles away along the waterfront promenade), enjoy hiking trails in the Presidio (3 blocks away), visit the Palace of Fine Arts and the Exploratorium (6 blocks away). Dozens of great restaurants, bars and wine bars are within walking distance. The best of San Francisco is right outside your door!
Bus service to downtown and Union Square is a block away. Other buses connect you car-free to the rest of San Francisco, including the museums, Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Park. It's an easy drive over the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods, Pt. Reyes and Golden Gate National Parks, and the Sonoma and Napa wine country. It's the perfect location for exploring San Francisco and the rest of Northern California!
And, the house is powered by solar panels and contains the most energy-efficient appliances if you're concerned about being green.
Keywords: House
We fell in love with this house and its great floor plan and location the moment we saw it. We then set out to bring it up to date and went a little crazy, adding a 3rd floor penthouse. Since the house was all torn up, we decided to put it back together in a more contemporary way, opening it up and using beautiful materials in unique ways. We live here with our two children (currently 4 and 6 years old). We love being able to walk everywhere and enjoy eating at the great local restaurants. I jog along the waterfront to bridge or we walk/bike as a family there. The kids love the Exploratorium which is walking distance away. We love walking and will walk to Fisherman's wharf (1.5 miles) or even downtown (2 miles).
The Owner purchased this house in 2004
We love San Francisco-- the restaurants, the shopping, the museums, the unique homes and views. It's so close to wine country, national parks and forests, beaches, skiing, Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. And the weather's great (we're not in the fog-belt so it clears up almost every day-- and it's beautiful to watch pouring over the hills of Marin and the Golden Gate Bridge. I always loved this part of San Francisco-- it's relatively flat so you can walk/bike easily to the bridge, shopping, restaurants and bars. The streets in our neighborhood dead-end so there's little traffic yet we're in the heart of one of the best neighborhoods close to 3 great shopping/dining districts (Union Street, Chestnut Street and Fillmore). There's a great kid's park a block away and the Presidio National Park is 3 blocks away. I love to jog to the Bridge and, occasionally when I feel like a challenge, over the bridge and back. The waterfront promenade is blocks away and wraps around the entire city-- perfect for jogging, biking, walking, skating, etc. San Francisco is a very outdoors city. The transit to/from other parts of the city is great from this location so you will hardly use your car. If you want to venture out of the city you can be over the Golden Gate Bridge in 5 minutes and in National Parklands, on your way to Muir Woods, Pt. Reyes and Napa and Sonoma. Stinson Beach is a short drive away.
The house is very comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet yet close to it all. The kitchen is great for cooking and the dining room is really comfortable for family or friends. There are a lot of places to just lounge and enjoy the views-- of the beautiful back yard, the Golden Gate Bridge or Alcatraz and the Bay. Much of the furniture is custom-made for the home. The linens and fixtures are the finest European brands. The kitchen, dining room and bathrooms are all well appointed and contain everything you'll need. The house has a state-of-the-art audio system so you can listen to your music (via iPod) or our music/radio/XM anywhere.
Our family of five stayed in this spectacular home for the second year and we could not have enjoyed it more.
The location is perfect - on a beautiful quiet street, just steps from terrific shopping and restaurants and very close to everything in the city. All five of us LOVE the home. The detail of the design and construction is top notch, the home is very clean and modern, while simultaneously being very warm, inviting and homey.
The owners really top it off though in that they are wonderful people. They leave their stunning home in immaculate condition, have thought of everything, leave very clear and easy to understand directions for everything. And are just really kind, thoughtful people.
We could not have had a better experience!
We cannot say enough good things about our stay. The home is both stunning and wonderfully comfortable. The photos are great, but they do not do justice to the design and craftsmanship of the home. Our whole family (three kids eight and under) loved the home. Our kids would say they wanted to go back "home" while going to many of the sites around the city, and we could not blame them. The neighborhood is quaint and only a few blocks from terrific shopping and restaurants, and the views are amazing. Especially from the third floor.
The home exceeded our expectations, but what really made our time so nice were the owners. They could not have been more organized, helpful, welcoming and warm.
My only hesitation in writing this review is that I am concerned that the word will get out and we certainly plan on coming back.
A highly recommend home and experience!
Our family always wanted to visit San Francisco. Not only did we find the perfect city for a family vacation, but even more, we could not have found a more perfect home for our stay and more pleasant and graceful homeowners. The house is perfectly renovated, with state of the art amenities. The photos even don't do justice to how beautiful and well thought out you will find the house. Everything is as new. And what a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz you will find in the upper level great room! Ideally located in the best area of Pacific Heights. No need for a car, everything is within easy access by cable bus (just around the corner), cable cars, or simply a very nice walk through the city.
We visited all SF during our stay, a square area that we can roughly identify as delimited between the Presidio and Market Street, and Fulton St. and the piers area almost all the way between Bay bridge and Golden Gate bridge. We loved everything, and again, the warm welcome of the homeowners and beautiful, ideally located house added very much to our stay. Walked a lot throughout the city and in the neighbourhood of Pacific Heights, including Lyon Street stairways, beautiful neighbourghood, visited all the must sees : the crowdy Market on our first Sunday, the piers, Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf (great lobster roll sandwich on the go…), the historic and war boats, shopping around Union Square, Pier 39 (don't miss the sea lions), the City Hall, Alamo square and the painted ladies, Haas-Lilienthall house, Lombard St., Chinatown, Science museum at Golden Gate Park, Alcatraz, Fort Mason Park, to name but a few. And many excellent restaurants nearby to suit every taste! What else to say: Perfection! Thank you so much!
We spent Thanksgiving week here and could not have been happier! Amanda and Vince are wonderful hosts - making sure we had everything we needed to entertain our 16 dinner guests. The house location is fabulous and it is beautifully decorated and spotless.
This architecturally unique and beautifully appointed home has it all. Location, location, location plus being very clean, very well maintained and equipped to handle everyone's needs. Loads of linens, dishes, glassware, cooking utensils etc and state of the art appliances. There is a fantastic master suite with a private deck offering views of Alcatraz and the Bay. The penthouse "playroom" is great for adults and/or children. There are walls of windows and huge sliding glass doors to a deck with views of Golden Gate Bridge, Presidio Park and mansions of Pacific Heights. For workout enthusiasts there is a fully equipped gym (with a full bath attached). Two car garage is definitely a big plus. The back yard is private and features a water fall, creek, firepit and outdoor kitchen and dining area. This home is well suited for elegant formal entertaining or casual fun. For a fabulous San Francisco stay this residence rates an A+.
We were thrilled the minute we stepped inside this incredible home during our recent visit to San Francisco. You can tell that the owners thought of every last detail when designing this striking architectural masterpiece. Although the home is contemporary, it is also warm and comfortable. We were surrounded with beautiful art, spacious living areas, cozy furniture, high-end linens and towels, a beautiful back yard area (complete with fountain, fire-pit and grill) and all the amenities you could imagine. The home is full of amazing amounts of natural light with huge skylights, large windows and big glass doors. The top floor is incredible with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Palace of Fine Arts from the front deck, and Alcatraz from the back. If you opt to leave home (...and believe me, you won't want to), you are walking distance to the shops & restaurants on Union Street, Chestnut Street and in the Presidio. Also, the owners answered all of our questions about the area and were the perfect hosts. This home is more beautiful than the pictures and we look forward to our return visit!
Walking to Golden Gate Bridge along waterfront promenade, Presidio National Park trails blocks away, Fillmore Street and Union Street and Chestnut Street shopping areas are easy walk away, bus service to downtown SF and Union Square and museums and Golden Gate Park.

Having a midnight internet trance. Clicking through to links that linked that linked that linked to my posts. Reading awfully sad things. Stories from survivors who didn't "fight back," and struggle with what that means to them, and what it means to others. "Fighting back" always seems to mean something physical, audible, or legal.
Personal resolution:
To expand my definition of "fighting back," and share it, when appropriate, with the survivors who disclose to me.
If you're alive, you fought back. Staying alive then was fighting back. Being alive today is fighting back. Being alive tomorrow will be fighting back.
Continuing forward, day by day, while carrying this attack within you, is fighting back.
Doing whatever needs to be done to survive, in the face of those who do not care very much for your survival, and sometimes do what they can to actively thwart it, is fighting back.
I do not mean to say that only those that live are fighting back. There are victims who "fight back" in the immediate physical sense and sometimes lose their lives. They were also doing what they felt was necessary to survive, were fighting for their survival in the face of somebody who wasn't concerned with their life.
They did something no better or worse, stronger or weaker, harder or easier, more right or more wrong, than the survivors who must not fight physically, or scream loudly, in their attempts to survive. Some of those people will lose their lives, too, but not for a lack of trying to live. Not for a lack of fighting back.
Survival contains more than the one moment in your life when you wish you'd thrown a punch. Survival is the decision to prize the continuation of your life above all other things, all other people, all other beliefs, at all moments in time. "Fighting back" is as much a dramatic physical fight that lasts two minutes as it is the daily boring drudgery of getting out of bed, putting food in your mouth, and staying awake for 16 hours, day in and day out. "Fighting back" is prioritizing yourself above others, whether that takes the form of a very dramatic gesture or the form of a banal daily interaction that you soldier through with what energy you can muster. "Fighting back" is believing that you deserve to live, and live well, when very powerful forces are telling you that you do not, and threatening action if you continue to prize your life above all things.
I am so sad when I read the stories of survivors — people who have at some point or many points confronted and sought to change the very fundamental structure of their personality, their family, their friends, their society; people who have had the bravery to face a horror and then attempt the unthinkable, to make peace with it, whether or not this takes a lifetime; people who have been willing to dig down into the most rotten places to uncover the most rotten things; people who live each day with the knowledge of their own intense vulnerability and fear, and still get up and make breakfast and walk outside and speak to others about the weather — and hear these people define themselves as ones who don't fight back.

Skip to comments.Eagles invite friends on new stadium tour
Posted on 06/18/2010 6:28:07 PM PDT by rwa265
The Eagles sure know how to keep things fresh and interesting on the road.
For the veteran rockers' new stadium tour, the band, which often performs without supporting acts, recruited none other than the Dixie Chicks and Keith Urban to open shows. (Warning to Urban fans: He's not on the bill for the show at Busch Stadium.)
"We're giving people something for their money not to say they weren't getting their money's worth when they see us by ourselves," Eagles bassist Timothy B. Schmit says. "Normally, we're on a show of our own, but on this one we decided to have a little bit of a summer fest."
Booking the Dixie Chicks was somewhat of a controversial move. Many have yet to move past lead singer Natalie Maines' comments against the war in Iraq and then-President George W. Bush at a 2003 concert in London.
(Excerpt) Read more at stltoday.com ...
I'm watching the Cardinal's-Oakland A's game, and the announcers were just now AGAIN trying to "sell" the concert.
Many have yet to move past lead singer Natalie Maines' comments against the war in Iraq and then-President George W. Bush at a 2003 concert in London.
Rewriting history again, Maines' dissed her fans.
"That didn't sit well with country music fans then, and now Maines says she's finished with the genre and is none too pleased with the fans, basically labeling them as redneck hicks."
Maines said, "And I guess I was ignorant to the fact that the stereotypes behind country music were true and it was disappointing."
Ouch. She wasn't finished trashing the fans of country music.
"So I'm pretty much done. They've shown their true colors. I like lots of country music, but as far as the industry and everything that happened... I couldn't want to be farther away from that," Maines told EW.
Don Henley Must Die...
Eagles-— Most repellent of the baby boomer nostalgia bands
Oh, those eagles. I was mistaken, I thought Philly was showing off their "new" stadium to some "friends". Joe Walsh should have stayed with the James Gang.
That's where I saw it. Pujols just tied it up with a run scoring single.
Looks like Natalie should join the Indigo Girls.
The are liberals.
Next line in the article: "'We have nothing but respect for them because of the fact they stand by their convictions,' Schmit says."
That's something to consider if anyone's thinking of snapping up some bargain-basement Dixie Eagles tickets.
Did Natalie go lesbo?
...Larry the Cable Guy said Maines was flat out nuts...says he "You don't go out of your way to piss off your fan base like that!"
Did their career tank? I have not heard much from them.
Looks like that wacky little bilge pump doesn't think she's getting enough attention. Is she pulling a Chastity Bono or something?
Thanks!!!!( They've stranded at least 4-5 so far and at least one DP. I'm recording it!!!!!!!)
Even Beergoggles wouldn't cure that!
Look-a-like guitarist ping!
Want to have fun with Maines fans? avalonfarmblog.wordpress.com
I don't think Frey and Walsh are libtards.
You know the Eagles are the headline act for Austin's ACL Festival in the fall. How did the organizers manage to miss signing The Dixie Chicks too? They are made for Austin.
That's a fact!
LOL Bilge pumps aren't much to look at but I've never seen one that made me cringe like that. That is just painful.
Frey is a leftist, just not as outspoken as Henley. In fact it was his idea to do the benefit for Alan Cranston.
She looks like Joran van der Sloot in that picture.
I am as big a fan as it gets when it comes to the Eagles. But, I hate what they did to Don Felder. Moreover, I felt that their "new" album was pretty lame and sounded too country to me. Apparently they are still playing alot of those songs on their tour.
Puleeze. Geezer rock and the Dixie Chicks. Spare me.
Yes. Separated at birth. Only he dresses better.
I don't care if he's a liberal, as long as I don't have to pay to be scolded. Walsh is libertarian in his outlook, I believe.
Joe Walsh is a licensed Amateur Radio Operator (WB6ACU).
In fact he forced Don Felder to attend. Thats when Don Felder smashed a guitar into the pillor out of frustration.
I loved the Eagles. Since Don Felder left ...I can care less.
Plus the prices for their concerts are outragous.

So, did you guys see Burger King has 30% reduced fat fries?
If the kid is young enough to still need the peel off due to a choking hazard (as opposed to preference), they shouldn't be familiar enough with McDonalds yet to ask for it... Therefore, IMO, there is no reason they should be eating there. It's almost as easy to stop off at a grocery store!

Temple has a knack for crucial supporting roles. In the latest take on Alexandre Dumas' classic novel, Temple adopts the role of Queen Anne of Austria, the innocent wife of King Louis XIII who is posed as the central figure in France's impending war with England. She becomes a puppet for the devious plans of the evil and power hungry Cardinal Richelieu (Christoph Waltz) whom the Musketeers must save from being blackmailed.

Manager Danny Lennon hopes St Mirren can use their morale-boosting 3-1 win over Dundee as the springboard for the rest of the season after halting a poor run of results.
A double from Steven Thompson - either side of a Ryan Conroy penalty for Dundee - and a first Saints goal for Dougie Imrie allowed the Buddies to secure what could be an important win over the Taysiders.
Lennon said: "I'm delighted, not just with the victory, but also the performance. I know you get the same three points but the manner in which the boys went about their business was great."
He added: "The commitment from the boys from the first minute was terrific and they got their rewards today, which they deserved.
"There was a real hunger in the players' eyes and you could see before the game that they were itching to get out there."
Lennon believes his players do not deserve to be languishing at the wrong end of the table but knows they must build on this win.
He added: "This group of players are certainly better than what their current league position shows. But you can't hide from what the table is reflecting."
Dundee were reduced to 10 men when Colin Nish was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Paul Dummett when the match was still goalless.
Boss Barry Smith said: "I've not seen it again but anybody who knows Colin Nish knows he's not got a malicious tackle in him.
"He's a big gentle giant. I find it hard for it to be a sending-off knowing him. But the referee has got a decision to make and that's what he made."
