First off I want to start off by saying that I had been to several dealers in search of someone who would finance me and my unique co signer and credit situation. When I had gotten in contact with Daniel Telllez from Future Ford of Sacramento from the beginning he had the most confidence that he was able to get me financed and in a reliable vehicle in no time. At first I skeptical but once he was willing to get in contact with my dad and explain the entire situation from beginning to end I was then as confident as he was. When I got there he was on the phone with my dad reassuring him that I was in good hands. From that moment I knew even if wasn't able to get a deal that would work I would still come back. I explained the situation and my past experience with the other dealers and he made it a point to make sure I wasn't treated that way. He went very thoroughly through all of the vehicles I was interested in and showed me what I needed to do to stay within my price range. After a very long process with the banks we were finally approved through Ford Credit with little down and for a brand new 2014 Ford Focus .After going through the entire process I was at the dealership very late and didn't feel comfortable driving home and as the truly amazing soul that he is , he was kind enough to drive my new car all the way to my home to make sure I made it home safely. I absolutely love my car and the experience I had with Daniel. He treated me like I was family and was very honest the entire time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Daniel if you are reading this just know you have changed my life and you really are an amazing person I hope for nothing but the very best for you. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

I thought it would just be a simple trip to get something to eat with my parents but i was oh so wrong. I began my journey instagraming in the car, just like i always do, and after several unfamiliar turns we ended up at this fine establishment. My father went to grab an auto part that he had purchased and i followed him inside because of a strange urge stemming from my lower abdomen. While he handled business at the front desk, i decided to handle my business in the direction of the small blue sign that read "rest rooms". When i turned the corner and grasped the door handle, i encountered something that i could have never imagined. It was beautiful, it was awe inspiring, and it was all mine. This lavatory greeted me with the most decadent of aromas and i was in a state of pure bliss. Between the lovely scent, the comforting cleanliness, and the motion sensing hand soap/towel combination, this pot had it all. To top off this glorious journey, my lips met the refreshing kiss of delightful glacier water, straight from the fountain, just steps away from my oasis. I recommend this place for all of those who battle with the struggles of everyday life. Live. Laugh. Enjoy the finer things.
A&A Auto Sales is a real rip off dealership. they should change their name to Rip Off Auto Sales. We went there to fill out a paper and we got approved. I told him i lost the paper to the Title of my vehicle that i was suppose to trade them with. They told me to go to DMV to get the Duplicate title and get it notarized. So I did. All on the sames day. We drove there for the second time from Modesto. Have all of our paper ready. We test drive the car and heard something squeaky from the driver side wheel. So we took it back and they said they will take it to the shop. Only to find out that the Wheel bearing on the trailblazer is defected. All that damn driving for nothin and paper works too. So we went back home hoping that it will be fixed. We called back the next couple days and they said it will cost $ 1000.00 more than what we agree on. From $6600.00 to $7500.00. They should have checked it first before letting us know that the car is ready to drive home. This is one of the many reason why they should change their name to the Rip Off Auto sales.

Everett Alvarez Jr. bears few scars from the repeated beatings and torture he endured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam for 8½ years. But whenever he reaches for a cup of coffee, he gets a subtle reminder of the times his jailers handcuffed his wrists so tightly it stopped the circulation in his hands. Even after several postwar operations to repair the resulting nerve damage, Alvarez, 52, still has little feeling in his fingers and must cradle his coffee clumsily to keep it from spilling.
Worse, that slight yet nagging physical handicap is linked in his memory with a particularly brutal torture session in 1966, nearly two years after Alvarez, flying a Skyhawk fighter-bomber, was shot down over the Gulf of Tonkin. After denying the Navy flier sleep for several days, guards cuffed his arms behind his back, cutting his wrists to the bone, and then punched and kicked him mercilessly. Alvarez finally agreed to scrawl a dictated letter admitting he had committed "war crimes" against the Vietnamese people. "I felt shamed," he says, "like I had betrayed my country."
The forced confession was a low point for a patriot whose conduct as a POW was truly heroic. Alvarez was the first U.S. pilot shot down over North Vietnam and became a stoic role model for the 658 Americans who eventually joined him in enemy prisons. "Everyone, all the POWs, looked up to Ev," says Paul Galanti, a former POW who was captured two years after Alvarez. "He was one of those optimists who always thought we would get out the next day." Alvarez's spirit was nearly broken in his seventh year of captivity, when the North Vietnamese handed over correspondence announcing that his wife had divorced him, remarried and given birth to a child with her new husband. Still he never lost his will to survive and was among the first group of American POWs to be granted freedom after the Paris truce agreement was signed in January 1973.
Upon his return to America, Alvarez generally avoided talking about the prison-camp ordeal, preferring simply to get on with life. But a quarter century after his capture by the North Vietnamese, he has finally told all in the book Chained Eagle, co-written with Anthony S. Pitch. For Everett, now a computer consultant who lives in Rockville, Md., nearly 200 hours of conversation with Pitch during a three-year period prompted a catharsis. "For years I couldn't let myself become attached to people and found myself unable to cry," he says. "The book helped break that shell." Adds Pitch: "Trying to draw out Everett's inner feelings was like trying to unwind the cloth around an Egyptian mummy."
On Aug. 5, 1964, Alvarez, then a 26-year-old Navy lieutenant junior grade, was part of the first U.S. bombing mission over North Vietnam, ordered in retaliation for a reported attack on two American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. After dropping his bombs on enemy naval docks, Alvarez had turned to head back to the aircraft carrier USS Constellation when his Skyhawk was hit by flak, forcing him to eject from the crippled plane at low altitude. Surviving with minor lacerations, he was promptly captured and taken to Hoa Lo, a prison American POWs would later nickname the Hanoi Hilton.
Unable to get Alvarez to volunteer anything more than his name, rank and serial number, the North Vietnamese isolated him in a squalid cell where huge rats darted about at night. Meanwhile he was kept on a starvation diet—including feathered blackbirds—which gave him chronic dysentery. "Suddenly I was thrown into this medieval environment and kept thinking, 'God, why me?' " Alvarez recalls. "I fully expected the door to open and someone to say he was here to take me home. But as the days went by, I didn't know how much longer it would be."
Held in solitary confinement for 15 months, Alvarez struggled to maintain his sanity by keeping the past alive in his mind. "I spent a lot of time re-creating scenes from my life," he says. One of his earliest memories was of his Mexican-American father, Everett Sr., a welder in Salinas, Calif., telling him, "Look, son, men don't cry. Keep your chin up." He also recalled his mother, Chole, sending him to work in a vegetable field the summer after he finished sixth grade. "Don't pay him," she told his uncle, the farm foreman. "Just teach him to work."
As the numbers of POWs grew in the mid-'60s, Alvarez was eventually allowed to mingle with his fellow Americans. In 1971 a vigorous debate was sparked among the POWs when the North Vietnamese announced that Alvarez's sister Delia had become a prominent antiwar activist in the U.S. Some prisoners defended her right to express an opinion, but Alvarez was among those upset that she was criticizing the U.S. government. "It bothered me because she was my sister," he says, "and I didn't want to hear what she was doing for the Vietnamese."
Meanwhile Alvarez kept his hopes alive by dreaming of the day he would be reunited with his wife, Tangee, whom he had wed just five months before his capture. Allowed by his captors to write seven-line letters to Tangee twice a year, Alvarez professed his undying love.
On Christmas Day, 1971, the North Vietnamese offered Alvarez a present: a letter from his mother saying that Tangee had decided not to wait for his return. "It was like someone took a two-by-four and belted me across the chest," Alvarez says. "I felt terribly betrayed." He spent three months in a daze, often pounding the walls in frustration. "Then one day I accepted it was over," he says. "I felt I had released that burden." For her part, Tangee remarried but continued to receive and cash Alvarez's paychecks in his absence for another year and a half because U.S. officials did not accept the legality of her Mexican divorce. Tangee Gonzales, now a housewife in Hayward, Calif., doesn't apologize for her actions 20 years ago. "The money was just as much mine as his," she says. "I felt bad in a way that he wasn't here, so we could talk things over,...[but] I don't regret having left him for another man I love."
When the North Vietnamese announced in late January 1973 that the POWs were about to be released, Alvarez had been so numbed by false alarms that he shrugged and resumed a bridge game. But the promise was kept, and his homecoming proved anything but anticlimactic. He promptly obtained a U.S. divorce, renouncing any claim to the back pay Tangee had collected but choosing not to speak to her except through his lawyers. Amid the whirlwind of activities in the weeks following his release, Alvarez met Tammy Ilyas, then 33, a United Airlines passenger-service representative, during a stopover at Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C. Impressed by his quiet manner and strong sense of security, Tammy told her sister Thelma that that day she had met the man she would one day wed. Similarly smitten, Alvarez invited Tammy to a White House gala a few weeks later and married her in October 1973.
Alvarez, who on his return was awarded a Silver Star, two Legions of Merit, two Purple Hearts and several other medals, continued in a desk job with the Navy until his 1980 retirement. He subsequently earned a law degree from George Washington University and served as deputy director of the Peace Corps and deputy administrator of the Veterans Administration. He occasionally talked about his experiences as a POW with Tammy and their two sons, Marc, now 15, and Bryan, 13. "Everett has been very open with us," says Tammy. "But it isn't a subject that he would bring up with just anyone." Indeed, until Chained Eagle coauthor Pitch conducted extensive interviews with other members of the family, Alvarez was unaware of the many stresses his long captivity had caused his parents and siblings.
"Those years he was in prison were a big strain on the family," says Everett Sr., now 72. "We felt depressed, and we all seemed to go in different directions." Delia, 48, Alvarez's antiwar activist sister, found the book helpful in clearing the air. "It was the first time the family was able to communicate and express feelings about the whole war experience."
For Alvarez the process was painful but, in the end, worthwhile. "I thought I had gotten over the war experience until the book," he says. Above all, it served to remind him, again, of the simple joy of freedom. "I can't go through life carrying a heavy burden of anger," he says. "I'm lucky to be back."

Egos often get in the way of making great music. Yesterday I saw an example where the music got priority, and egos did not play a role. As a result the listener received the benefit. I heard a performance of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, as performed by violinist Hilary Hahn. What a wonderful performance that was! One major reason for my enjoyment was that Ms. Hahn played certain sections at a slightly slower tempo, and this provided a wonderful level of intimacy to music that has been performed so often. A key factor that drove this success was the conductor. He let the soloist decide on the tempo, and he provided the expert leadership to have the orchestra support the soloist as she unfolded this wonderful music for us. Here is Ms. Hahn in this amazing presentation:

Chicago pianist Lori Kaufman was among those who were present at Tanglewood's farewell to Joseph Silverstein, much-loved concertmaster of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and, later, music director of the Utah Symphony. Joey, who died last November, aged 83, Joey was always so much more than the sum of his titles. Lori writes: Over 700 close friends, family members and former students filled Seiji Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood Sunday night for a celebration of the life and gifts of Joseph Silverstein, whose abrupt passing last November left much of the music world bereft. Impeccably curated by Deborah and Bunny Silverstein, with the Boston Symphony, the evening could not have been a more perfect homage to the achievements of Mr. Silverstein and the impact he had on thousands of musicians of all ages. To start, twenty-six string players purposefully strode onstage and played the first movement of Tchaikovsky's exuberant Serenade in C. Impeccably led by Utah Symphony concertmaster Ralph Matson, they performed standing up, as though to bear witness to the legacy that they gratefully bask in every day, many of them still section players in the Boston Symphony. Fred Sherry called Silverstein the "soul of the BSO," and indeed, his influence on that orchestra and many others will reverberate for generations. Anthony Fogg, the BSO's artistic administrator and director of Tanglewood, invited us to "applaud robustly" for the "music that Joey loved and cherished." Words would not usurp what mattered most to one of the 20th century's best musicians, so Fogg emphasized that this evening would be full of sounds that would remind us that "our lives were better in some way because of what he gave us." Of course the program needed to begin with JS Bach. Silverstein's recording of the solo sonatas is THE textbook Bach, studied closely by all young violinists. Joey dug deep into every period of violin playing, and his knowledge of the baroque period was unsurpassed. He could justify every bowing and phrasing with historical evidence, and yet still made us hear something new and fresh in each sonata and partita. Venerable pianists Peter Serkin and Richard Goode then appeared, and their regal performance of three choral preludes by Bach was a master class in four-hand playing. The most elusive of ensemble playing, four-hand music is fraught with sonic landmines around every clumsy corner and demands flawless shading ability and creative sound architecture. These two champions of chamber music voiced the counterpoint luminously, expertly, and with an elegance that is rarely heard today. Mr. Goode returned to the stage with Curtis Macomber and Fred Sherry to play one of Joey's favorite movements of all time, the adagio from the Brahms B major trio. I am sure I wasn't the only one in the audience who was fortunate to have Mr. Silverstein's coaching on this piece. It was with this very trio that he taught me everything I needed to know about Brahms—- what his unique rhythmic gestures were about, how his eighth notes need to be fat and spread out as looooooong as possible, how his mezzo pianos differ from every other composer's, how his movements always relate to each other, and how the pianist's left hand can make or break a performance. Richard Goode is of course one of the few pianists who understands all of these things and his partners helped him send this piece right up to the heavens where it belongs. The radiant Elena Urioste had the prodigious task of presenting Estrellita. I had the honor of playing this piece with Joey and I'm certain that everyone in attendance had heard Joey play it, even multiple times. Kreisler was one of his most closely studied idols; he cherished those "encore" pieces and snuck them into a recital program whenever he could. Well, Elena got it exactly right, and thankfully her partner Garrick Ohlsson exhibited the color palette and sensitivity to perfectly support the mood of this wistful souvenir. The duo won gasps and murmurs of approval from the audience immediately upon the final arpeggiated chord. Next we got to hear a recording of Silverstein playing The Russian Dance from Swan Lake while photos of him flickered across a gigantic screen. Graciously, the organizers put aside his most famous photos and let us see many rare mementos of Joey rehearsing, kibitzing, or playfully telling someone off with a glint in his eye. Late Beethoven was essential to the message of the evening, and it was lovely to hear a set of Joe's more recent trainees throw themselves into opus 130. The excellent Dover Quartet maintained that Mr Silverstein was "an inspiring presence whose guidance was critical to our development as musicians and colleagues," and they clearly heeded his lessons well. They glued themselves to each other's fingerboards and locked eyes with a Joey-worthy focus. Their mentor would have kvelled. Late Beethoven segued inevitably into Schubert. You can bet that Joey knew every note and every harmony of Schubert's immense song catalog, as it informed his lyrical playing of his chamber music works and symphonies. Hilary Hahn played a demonically difficult Erlkönig transcription by Heinrich Ernst effortlessly. One of the many musicians who benefited practically since toddlerhood from his generous counsel, he treated her (and so many of us) like additional children to the three biological ones he already had. Hahn obviously inherited his unparalleled work ethic and stunned this audience with her poise and prodigious technique, always and only in service to the music. The second Schubert piece was also based on a lied, the beloved Trout movement of the eponymous quintet. On hand were some of Joey's lifelong friends from his hometown of Detroit, the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society, and the Curtis Institute. Ida Kavafian's love shone through as she conjured the most profoundly poignant trout ever to have swum. This bucolic scene shifted from playful to philosophical in the able hands of Michael Ouzounian, Fred Sherry, Edgar Meyer, and Mr Ohlsson rounding out the stellar quintet. Between the two Schubert works, we got to hear from four special musicians who wanted very much to attend but sent adoring video messages instead. Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, and Silverstein drank from the same goblet in the elite club of top violinists, and they always shared a loving rivalry between them. To hear Perlman call Joey an "all around consummate musician" surprised nobody, and Zukerman was equally laudatory claiming "The command he had was second to none." We then heard from longtime colleague Robert Levin, stuck in Stuttgart but wistfully wishing he was with us. I myself recall so many endearing moments of watching Levin onstage with Joey at Sarasota. An exceptionally erudite scholar, in addition to being a great pianist; for Levin to admit that he was humbled by Joey's knowledge is telling, indeed. Smartly appreciative of not only their music-making but also their endless conversations, Levin may have had the best description of the night when he called Joey a "radiant humanist." Joey delighted so much in sharing his knowledge that it made each of us feel like a treasured confidante. And his advice was always so true and so compassionate that it seemed like everything he said was direct from the Torah and deserved an "Amen." We all found his words so glowing, so valuable, we treated the most random conversations as unforgettable commandments, such as his insistence that bagels needed to be "warmed," not toasted. Finally, Andre Previn sent in a lengthy clip regaling us with stunned impressions of their long collaboration. Previn said what many of us saw firsthand, that he never met anyone as musically prepared or as thorough as Joey: "Why was he the greatest concertmaster in the world? Because he made everyone feel secure, he made the orchestra feel secure, and he made the conductor feel secure." Previn sheepishly admitted that he is still passing off many of Joey's genius bowings as his own (and he is probably not alone.) The final live performance of the night brought us full circle back to Brahms. I always felt as though Brahms was the pinnacle for Joey. Those who are serious about chamber music know that the best small ensemble performance ever recorded is the two viola quintets by the Boston Symphony Chamber Players. It has attained cult- like status, and there are certain shifts that Joey did that are listened to and replayed and listened to again late at night at conservatories everywhere. I once asked Joey if there were any performances he wanted to do but never managed to, and he replied that his big regret was never having had the chance to play the Brahms concerto with George Szell. (Obviously that would have been the definitive recording.) On Sunday night, in honor of Joey's unending love for Brahms, the universe's pre-eminent duo gave the best performance ever of a violin piece with no violin in sight. Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax drew us in with a devoutly personal Adagio of the d minor violin sonata, cleverly transcribed for Mr Ma's instrument. Yo-yo is the consummate communicator, always regaling listeners with charming anecdotes and galvanizing stories…. but on this night he had no words. He said everything he needed to say with the look on his face. But no musician could have ended the evening more conclusively than Joey himself – a brilliant video of his 1972 performance of the Elgar violin concerto with his beloved BSO conducted by Colin Davis. This was a recap of what everyone had alluded to: the incredible command of the instrument, the insatiable investigation of the composer's style, the flawless phrasing, the "unorthodox" bowing that made the music sound even better than it was conceived, the warm communication (mainly via eyebrows) with his onstage colleagues, the expansive generosity towards his students, the magic that he worked at creating every morning of every day of his life when he would wake up and take out his violin. What came out especially Sunday night was how successful Joey was at each of these roles he inhabited: the perfect concertmaster, a stunning soloist, an all-knowing conductor, a dedicated teacher, a guru of chamber music, a voracious scholar, a treasured counselor to orchestras and soloists and young quartets, a loving father, a devoted husband, a compassionate friend, and an irreplaceable colleague. The Silverstein family has set up a fund to support violin master classes at Tanglewood.

Maestro Endeavor Pictures Writer/Director: David Donnelly Producers: Ford D'Aprix David Donnelly 58 Mins. (DVD/Broadcast version) Maestro is a documentary on the Estonian-American orchestral conductor Paavo Jarvi, and it gives not only a brief but brilliant glimpse into Paavo's life and career, but also an honest point of view on music (classical music, to be specific) and it's role in our lives. The film features Jarvi himself in interviews and various pieces of footage throughout the years, as well as interviews with many of his colleagues in the concert world such as Hilary Hahn, Joshua Bell and several others. Watching this, it appears that the direction for the film was not to just delve into the life of one person only, but to transcend this and make it more about why the music we call 'classical music' exists, what makes it so special, why we need it, and what it means for the other musicians as well. David Donnelly did a marvelous job with the combination of interviews, archival as well as newly-shot footage, and a lushly-mastered soundtrack of the orchestral music that Paavo Jarvi is known for. You will no doubt enjoy Maestro if you are a music buff, and it is great for the interviews as well as the music. There's even a brief archival clip of hip-hop artist 50 Cent talking about his son getting classical training, which is pleasantly surprising. Before the film's official US release, the makers of the film have a special goal–The plan is to get Maestro screening in 1,000 schools in 30 days by allowing individuals to sponsor educational DVDs. Bringing classical music to a school of their choice for the price of a pair of sneakers. The DVDs are available through this link. The information is on the page. It can impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of students who have never been exposed to classical music, and help to make a big difference for the future of music education. Thanks from everyone involved. Maestro (official website) Link for purchasing DVDs and Blu-rays

Venue: Louise Davies Symphony Hall 201 Van Ness Avanue, San Francisco, CA Date/time: Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at 8:00 PM For tickets, call: 415-864-6000 When I first began to enjoy Hilary Hahn's playing, she was still a young woman, and she traveled with the support of her father. So my sense is that more than 20 years have passed since those early days, when I would walk up to her after the concert and ask her to sign my program. Now a mature, experienced artist is returning to perform in San Francisco. Performers: Hilary Hahn, violin, and Cory Smythe, piano Program: Mozart Violin Sonata in G major J.S. Bach Violin Sonata No. 3 in C major Antón García Abril Selections from Six Partitas for Solo Violin Copland Sonata for Violin and Piano Tina Davidson Blue Curve of the Earth
Hilary Hahn (November 27, 1979) is an American violinist. Beginning her studies when she was three years old, she was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia at age ten, and in 1991, made her major orchestral debut with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Hahn signed her first musical recording contract at age sixteen. She graduated from the Curtis Institute in May 1999 with a Bachelor of Music degree.
Great performers

There's a fine line between superstitious and ludicrous. I like to think I fall squarely in the latter category, especially when it comes to my health. When I feel good I don't like to talk about it. When I feel crummy, I don't like to think about it. I know a lot of people who are very superstitious about their health — especially when it comes to seeing doctors and taking medicine. It's as though they cut everything off, cold turkey, when things are going their way. Probably a pretty stupid idea, but I don't fault the psychological positioning of it.
It all became clear after a friend told me about a book she just finished, "The Secret," which is all about imagining something with the right concentration — which ultimately makes it (whatever "it" may be) materialize.
I took away from this the fact that I've been doing just that for a long time, as it relates to my health. I imagine myself healthier than I really am all the time. Whether it's choosing to take the stairs (which I ultimately regret by the third flight) or attempting to open a screw-top beer bottle, I channel my health and try like heck to make it happen. So far — knock-on-wood — it's working.
It's like the old saying: "mind over matter … but if you don't mind, it doesn't matter."

I was diagnosed with viral meningitis in 2003. Apparently it was a rather bad case as, as the headache worsened and the vomiting continued, my brain started shutting down my major programming. The confusion was so great I didn't realize I could no longer hear. I was told later that whatever words I was trying to say were not recognizable. I lost sight just before I lost consciousness. After six days in the hospital I was given a piece of paper about meningitis, told there was no lasting side effects, and sent on my way.For years, I looked...

He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to believe it.
After all this time and not knowing... he felt so dumb. So used and so stupid. There were times when the thought of keeping his subjects safe were the only thing that dragged him from bed every day, the thought that he was excelling as emperor, that he was doing a good job and his citizens were happy.
They were at war.
At war with the Firenation.
The Firenation who had started the war years ago, the war he thought he had kept his people from. They had tried to bring down the great wall and he had been completely, stupidly, oblivious.
He sighed loudly, watching as Basco went to mingle with the avatar and his friends.
If he looked at it in a positively light - what else could he do? the alternative was mulling over the thought that he had been an idiot - there was the fact that he knew about it now, and had the avatar as ally.
He covered his eyes, "I just can't believe it."
Everyone looked at him sympathetically. Except the little blind girl. He guess she was looking at him; her head was turned to him, but he had no way of knowing – that didn't matter.
"When do we attack?" he asked again, entwining his fingers nervously. Perhaps he could get some help.
"The day of black sun."
Yes! Just enough time to call him and get ready for the sure-to-be-horrifying battle. "Would it bother you if I got reinforcements?"
The Avatar's grin widened. "What? Not at all! The more the better!"
Sometimes, he wondered how a boy so young and so... innocent could be the avatar. Surely there had to be some justice in this world. At such a young age... so much responsibility. Of course, he's not really that young, 112 and all, but still, the Avatar had the heart of a child.
"Who do you have in mind?" the water tribe girl asked – her name was...it started with a K...oh, right. Katara.
"I have a cousin. He lives really far, but he should be able to make it on time."
The gang cheered, and he chuckled nervously.
His cousin was great at fighting – at least, last he saw him he was -and was allowed to wander, so he should have some experience. More than him, definitely.
"You!" he pointed at a guard. "Write a letter of emergency now!"
"To Emperor Ling Yao."

Address of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to the Young Children - January 5
Document Actions
Jan 5, 2006
My Beloved Children,
Today you have made me, your spiritual father, very happy. My happiness comes from being with you, seeing your smiles and hearing your voices. I have come from far away, from our Holy Mother Church across the seas in Constantinople, to bring you a special blessing at this special time of the year.
And you all know this special time of the year. I am speaking, of course, of Christmas, the Birth of Jesus, which we just celebrated. The Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is a reason for many things: the gathering of family and friends, the exchange and giving of gifts, and the wonderful services we celebrate in the Church. But most of all, it seems to be a Feast for you, the young children of the Church.
One of the Saints of our Church, Saint Romanos the Melodist, wrote a beautiful hymn that speaks of God Himself coming to world as a Young Child. This Young Child Jesus came into the world to bring us love, peace and joy.
And as I look into your faces this day, I see in your eyes the same love and peace and joy that the Child Jesus brought. And this is because you share in His life through the grace of your Baptism.
Through your Baptism and being part of the Church, you also can bring God's love to the world; by the way you act, and the way you speak, and the things you do. We remember this during this special time of Epiphany, when we celebrate the Lord's Baptism in the River Jordan.
Just as we shall bless and sanctify the waters on the Feast tomorrow, and we shall sprinkle the blessed water throughout the Church and throughout our homes, so must our lives be. Let every moment of your life be like the refreshing waters of the Feast of Epiphany, and let everyone in your world: your parents, your brothers and sisters, your friends and schoolmates, your teachers and guardians, let them be anointed by the love you bring and the joy you give.
You will also see the Cross cast out upon the waters, reminding us that it is the Cross of our Lord that sweetens everything that we do. May His Cross always be deep inside your hearts, that you may grow up strong and true.
Thank you for coming here today to be with me. Know always that as your father in Christ and Ecumenical Patriarch, you are always in my prayers.
May our Lord bless each and every one of you and your beloved families with health, success, and every spiritual blessing.
The blessing of the Lord be with you all. Amen.

TravelPod Member ReviewsComfort Inn Downtown Nashville
Second time staying here, decided to return as safe parking for our Harley's and easy walking/cab distance of the Broadway, plus situated right on the interstate so very easy to get to.
Rooms are clean and functional , perfect for one night or many if you are having an extended stay in the city.

Historical Traveler Reviews Comfort Inn Downtown Nashville
Great>>> Great>> Look no further
I stayed at the this location last week. I read all the reviews and wasn't sure whether I should stay or not with all the mixed responses in these reviews. But I'm glad I picked this location.
-Location is perfect for Downtown and/or Music Row on foot and right off the freeway.
-Old Structure, but recntly rennovated, really good job.
-Manager was very kind and very helpful. Gave us good directions and maps and brochres.
-Breakfast was a great head start to look forward too.
-Rooms could be a little tight for a family of four, but didn't matter to me since I was by myself.
Great location for Downtown Nashville but....
This hotel is located off 40 West in downtown Nashville and is centrally located to many things in the area. My wife and I prefer comfort suites and sleep inns to many of the other hotels in the same price range. This hotel is located less than one mile from the Tennessee Titans coliseum, the old grand ole opry building and many things downtown and is near Vanderbilt University. Upon checking in I inquired about upgrading to a jacuzzi suite and was told it would be an additional $30. I did not accept the room rate and stayed in my original room. The room itself had a king size bed and it was very comfortable. However the bathroom was about the size of a telephone booth. Not much room to turn around in or have more than one person in it at a time. Also alot of fans for the football and hockey game seemed to stay at this hotel making it noisy at night. We did not try the continental breakfast due the number of good restaruants in the area. If you stay here, try Noshville which is down the street on Broadway. It is a new york style deli and its great! Overall I will stay here again because of one thing...Location, location, location....
This Place is a Hole
We were on the road and had the Comfort Inn atlas with us, found what looked to be the most central location, and called ahead to book it for two nights. As soon as we checked in, I realized what a mistake we had made. Night One was going to cost us $69 (which seemed reasonable enough), but Night Two was going to cost us $119 (which seemed like robbery). The desk clerk told us that the second night would cost so much because there was a "game" in town. Their professional basketball and hockey teams were out of town, and we didn't see that any Vanderbilt teams were playing either. So we don't know what "game" was supposedly causing this jump in the rate. All I know is we were being hosed, and it pissed me off.
I don't mind things that are old or need updating as long as they're clean. That isn't the case here. The lobby is shoddy. The cement on the outdoor pathways is chipping and cracking with pieces lying everywhere. The carpet in our room was frayed and hasn't been cleaned in decades. There are spots all over the walls, especially in the bathroom next to the toilet (possibly mold or mildew?). There is mildew and gunk showing through the clear plastic shower faucet. Every metal surface (on the lamps and other fixtures) is pitted and tarnished. And the coffee pot hadn't been cleaned. It was actually stuck to the burner. This was unacceptable!
Like I said:
$69 is one thing; $119 is another.
Old is fine; dirty is not.
One minute after going through our crappy room, I was on the phone to try to find other accommodations. Unfortunately, there were some conventions in town, and downtown hotels were booked. We opted to stick it out for only the one night and then hightailed it out of there.
Good Value for Money
We arrived mid evening having rejected a room at the CountrySide Inn over by Opryland.
The check in staff were very pleasant and helpful and let us view a couple of rooms even though they had very few vacancies, and even reduced the price a bit.
The breakfast was good which we enjoyed by the pool.
Very well placed for Music Row but really a bit far to walk to Downtown
Best Choice For Location
Stayed at this property a total of three nights this summer. It was near entainment venues where my son was performing and being from out of state I wanted to make sure I could find the venues- The Comfort Inn is near everything downtown- The room was dirty and worn- The breakfast was fine- Did not feel safe at this place- The men at the front desk were helpful- The women seemed disinterested in helping guests. Was supposed to have given me directions to the Bluebird Cafe and gave me the wrong directions- Overall, This hotel needs to work on updating rooms and customer service-
Quiet, good location, but NASTY ROOM
The staff was nice, the location was great, but the room was horrible. There were holes in the wall behind the toilet, the toilet paper holder was falling out of the wall. The bathtub was filthy. The ironing board was set up near the bathroom sink and was broken. My pillow was dirty from the previous guest. The air conditioner was missing parts and did not work good. Had I paid a lower price, and stayed in lower class motel, I might have expected these conditions. Since I prepaid for the room and was on a limited travelling budget, I had no choice but to stay there. I won't stay there again.
A wonderful place to stay. We are from Sweden and booked a room at Days Inn and I was bitten of bedbugs. We changed hotel to ComFort Inn and the owner was very kind to us and help us very much. Clean room and nice stuff.
Good Location
The staff was very friendly and the rooms clean. We had booked three rooms and they were all together in the same area of the hotel. They did provide a continental breakfast which was a bonus. Parking was at a premium if you left the motel and came back later in the evening. There are a few "Hot Spots" across the street and a lot of the cars parked in the motel lot. There was a basketball tournament in town and motels were hard to find. I felt they jacked the rates up because of the basketball tournament in town, but we couldn't get a decent room anywhere else. Great location if you want to be close to music row and downtown, but not close to the Grand Old Opry.
Overall a NICE STAY
We stayed at this Comfort Inn on our way back from Knoxville and the Staff was really nice and went beyond its limits to help the guest.
Rooms were newly rennovated, except for the carpet and the location was the most convenient from Downtwon Nashville and great access to the freeway. The breakfast was nice and good head start.
Shoney's Review
We were very disappointed in our stay at the Shoney's Inn Music Row (Demonbruen Street). The carpet was very very dirty, dead bugs on the floor in the bathroom, the fan vent cover in the bathroom was falling off and very dirty behind it. The rooms need lots of help. Needless to say for the amount it cost us for night we could have stayed else where for 2 nights and had cleaner accommodations. I must say the staff were friendly but never asked about the accommodations.

Non-Nutritious Foods on Tonight's School Board Agenda
Big Bear Lake, CA, September 4, 2013 – Those wanting to attend tonight's Regular Board Meeting of the Bear Valley Unified School District should note the location for part of it has been changed. The Closed Session will be held as planned at 5:15 p.m. at the District Office (42271 Moonridge Road). But the 6:30 p.m. Open Session will now be held at North Shore Elementary School (765 N. Stanfield Cutoff). The Open Session was moved to the elementary school to accommodate what is expected to be a large number of participants in the scheduled discussion on Student Health and Nutrition. At issue is the right of organizations to use non-nutritious foods and beverages for after-school fundraisers. The meeting agenda's relevant supporting documents include the District Board Policy on "Other Food Sales." Adopted in 2007, it states in part: Any food sales conducted outside the district's food service program shall meet nutritional standards specified in law, Board policy, and administrative regulations and shall not reduce student participation in the district's food service program. The Board authorizes the Superintendent or designee to approve the sale of foods and beverages outside the district's food service program, including sales by student or adult organizations, sales through vending machines, and/or sales at secondary school student stores for fundraising purposes. A similar policy adopted in 2007 and revised in 2012 states: The Superintendent or designee shall encourage school organizations to use healthy...Read More

I lived in Park Circle Apartments for 3 years. It was a great 3 years for me. The location is great, I was able to walk to just about everything I needed-groceries, liquor store, wawa, rite-aid and if it wasn't within walking distance it was a short ride down the Roosevelt Blvd. All my neighbors were super friendly. Parking is off street and there are always plenty of spots. The apartment I moved into was spotless when I moved in and all the appliances were brand new. The kitchen and bathroom were both stylishly updated. Plenty of closet space. Despite being right on a busy road it was fairly quite. Also safe because its right in front of a hospital and right next door to the fire department and retirement community. The landlord there is fantastic and will fix anything that needs fixing. Property management group is great and friendly also. I would recommend this place to anyone! Check it out!
Large one bedroom (2 bed and studio as well, but this review refers only to 1 bed) apartments with many of the original art deco era details, including the plaster walls and wood floors. Neighbors are friendly, mix of older and graduate students, and younger couples. Great location easy to get to EL, and the bus is right outside. The price is very reasonable considering the area, though I'm told from neighbors they raise it a bit each year.
I would be very cautious when choosing to move into this complex. I recently moved here. Unfortunely it is not what it appears to be on the web. I will say however, my perception is my own deception! You will have to decide what works for you. I will not influence you either way. I do recommend you be very cautious.

The mediation process can help you resolve disputes without going to court. In a mediation proceeding, a neutral third party (a mediation lawyer or mediator) meets with you and the person you disagree with. Mediators are trained to find mediation solutions in legal disputes, including divorce mediation and business disagreement mediation. The mediator acts as a facilitator, helping you negotiate until a solution is found. Mediation is the most informal process for dispute resolution and is usually the least expensive method. The drawback is that, unlike an arbitrator in arbitration, the mediator does not make a final decision. So, unless the parties agree and enter into a settlement agreement, the mediation can end without the dispute being solved.

Wine Details
McLaren Vale › Fleurieu › Adelaide › South Australia › Australia
Wine Description
(From 2013 Vintage) Many of McLaren Vale's vineyards are on free-draining soils underlain with limestone, formed by the calcareous remains of the local marine fauna. One such creature was the Hermit Crab, a reclusive little crustacean that inhabits the cast-off shells of others. The Osborn family thought the name appropriate for this, McLaren Vale's first ever blend of Viognier and Marsanne. "Hermit" is also an abbreviation for the French appellation of Hermitage, where the Marsanne grape variety dominates.
Winemaker's Notes
The Hermit Crab McLaren Vale Viognier Marsanne has a green, brilliant mid-straw color and exhibits fresh and tropical fruit with a strong emphasis on stone fruits, pineapple, mango and honeysuckle. ...

DeJesus Traded
The Cubs have traded outfielder David DeJesus to the Washington Nationals for a player to be named later....hopefully one that can do as well as what the Cubs got for Scott Hairston. Since joining the Daytona Cubs, Ivan Pineyro has a 3.18 ERA in 6 starts over 34 IP, giving up just 1 HR, 4 BB's and striking out 27.
A bit of a surprise move, moreso that the Nationals are still trying this year. The Cubs are off the hook for the rest of what DeJesus was owed this season (about $1M) as well as the $1.5M buyout on his 2014 contract...so a guaranteed savings of at least $2.5M. Had they picked up the option, it was worth $6.5M
This should make for an interesting offseason and spring. Nate Schierholtz could be the only veteran still around, that is if he's not moved as well. Or they may go with three fresh faces. I don't by any means think Junior Lake is guaranteed anything, although I certainly think he'll be in competition for a spot. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Kris Bryant makes a run at a spot, although more likely a mid-season call-up.
As for what it means this year, well I think Brian Bogusevic should be close to returning, otherwise it means the quest for a better draft pick spot continues.

Great move in my opinion.
Great move in my opinion. The season is lost anyway, so even if Dejesus helps the Cubs win 5-10 more games between now and the end over his replacement, it wouldn't matter. So save $2.5 million and gain a prospect. No brainer.
I like that this administration doesn't really care what the fans or press think about moves like this. Every move should be about getting incrementally better as an organization. The wins will come.

I'm not going to tell you what to do with your money, I will be not stepping foot into Murphy's Bleachers again. The thoughts of Beth Murphy make you wonder if they ever clean the taps there-
Some brilliance from Beth-
"The Cubs have quite the PR machine," Beth Murphy said. "That's why everyone hates Dusty Baker and Sammy Sosa and Steve Stone. There is a whole list of people that (the Cubs) blame for the Cubs' lack of success. But they never internalize it. It's either the day games or whatever"
Who hates Steve Stone? Sosa maybe some. Dusty did that on his own.
"Actually if there wasn't a ballpark there, I think the property values, for the residents, would be higher. "
Dear God.
Rob-thanks for fixing.
Rob-thanks for fixing.
She's an idiot though, and part of the parasite mentality around Wrigley.
I put on here a few weeks ago on how Billy the Cub schlub wanted the Ricketts' to hire him because he has a pedo-bear suit and walks around Wrigley.
I honestly don't know how
I honestly don't know how much more of this rooftop-owner shit Ricketts wants to take. He's already said 'thanks for the $500M City Council approval, but I'm not signing any construction contracts until the parasite owners agree to not sue'. So, what are you waiting for Tom? Tell Rahm and Tunney the deadline date.....like September 30th; and if he doesn't get a signed waiver from Beth and her fellow blood suckers then Tunney doesn't have to worry about being up anyone's ass.
Maybe Beth can't remember what Wrigleyville was like in the late 70s before the Tribune bought the team and brought Harry into help market the Cubs, but I do. If you were walking any where west of Southport, Racine or north of Nuts on Clark, it helped if you were in one of the Latino gangs. Yeah.......good luck with those property values you dumbass, Beth.
it's amazing that someone who
it's amazing that someone who owns TWO businesses that are basically 100% dependent on the local ballpark for revenue would so brazenly claim the neighborhood would be better off without it; is there a single person in chicago that will read that and not think she is either a liar or an idiot?

steve stone leaving the booth ranks up there with joe carter leaving the booth for me...wait, that's excessively harsh.

Agreed. Bob/Len just clicked. Don't know JD/Len ever will.
I lived in Chandler, AZ when the DBacks won in 2001. The 'inside' talk was they won it all in spite of Brenly, not because of his managerial skill. Maybe AZ Phil can confirm or not? Might explain why offers not out there to my knowledge.
Wow, this is a bit too soon,
Wow, this is a bit too soon, isn't it? Len and Bob were roundly criticized during their first season together. Personally, I think Len and JD are doing fine, and they clearly enjoy bantering with one another.
GEORGE A: Bob Brenly was a
GEORGE A: Bob Brenly was a breath of fresh air to the D'backs players, because Buck Showalter (the previous manager) was a control freak. But Brenly's in-game managerial acumen was often questioned, and yet the Diamondbacks won in spite of it (at least in 2001). He also had some colorful arguments with umpires, and there were more than a handful he couldn't stand (most notably C. B. Bucknor).
Otherwise, Brenly was laid-back and basically let the players do whatever they wanted to do, and it worked because he had a veteran team in 2001 that didn't need a lot of supervision. But once the team went young with the so-called "baby backs" in mid-2004, Brenly went bye-bye.
He was a bit like Lou Piniella circa 2007-10.
Thanks, Phil. I knew there
