This is my second and I am definitely bloated! Thanks to not being able to use the bathroom. I can tell where I am getting harder and fuller between my hip bones. When I lay down I can see a little bump between them. I love it! I can't wait until I actually start to show though! So excited!

I can barely stuff myself in to my fat clothes. I'm sure it's because I've had quite a few pregnancies, and probably my abs are not as strong as they should be. I'm only 9 weeks, and it is ridiculous to think I need to be in maternity already, but I am running out of options. I'm normally a size 8/10, and I can't hardly fit in the size 14's I had put away from after I had the other kids.

The amazing aroma of the nation's finest oak-smoked steaks and fresh fish, served to a pewter counter or cosy booth. Imagine great imported beers, cocktails and bubbly served from an unusual sunken bar, with highly skilled mixologists serving you while you stay seated. Picture a stylish, relaxed but chic interior, a mix of booths, banquettes and counter stools. Come lunchtime and it's locally sourced bread, generously filled sandwiches and salads or full blown grill dining for the more adventurous lunchtime escapee. Come sundown the mood changes and we turn the aromas up to eleven. The cocktails flow, the steaks sizzle, the music turns up and the night begins. We could tell you about the Ember Lounge - an immaculate and opulent cocktail bar furtively hidden to the rear of the bar. But your name's not on the list, so you can't come in.

Malmaison - Manchester
19 comments:
Everything looks so stylish. The Malmaison sounds like the ideal spot for a weekend break from the stress of a work week. Love the VIP bar/room especially and the delicious sounding food and drinks. Happy Sunday.xxReplyDelete
All of that food looks incredible - especially the salmon and scrambled eggs at breakfast!ReplyDelete
Amazing photos and very nice place!ReplyDelete
Beautiful post :)ReplyDelete
When I lived in Manchester I used to pass this place all the time on my way to the train station, I've never been inside but I always thought it was a classy place maybe one day I'll have to visit there xoxoReplyDelete
It looks like a wonderful place. I would certainly like to visit someday!ReplyDelete
xx Seph
My boyfriend + I stayed in the Birmingham Malmaison for Valentines Day this year + it was the easily best hotel I've ever stayed in! Gorgeous food, wonderful atmosphere, basically the perfect place for a getaway!xReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, the food looks so delicious... and when you mentioned the aroma of steaks, oh, I died.ReplyDelete
miss vintage vixen. x
Oh my, this place looks absolutely incredible. Probably way out of my price range but hey, a girl can dream! xReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures! Sounds (and looks) like you had an amazing time :)ReplyDelete
Everything looks so divine! I so need to get one of those ice buckets and stands for chilling my champers! XXReplyDelete
The food looks amazing. I havent been to Manchester in so long. I am so lazy, even though it's only a couple of hours away i really hate traveling. xReplyDelete

Loved the article...it's my favourite hotel in Manchester...if i can manage it i go for the Cinema Suite..perfect place to dump your boyfriend while you go shopping..he can watch a surround sound film on the rooms own film projector and cinema screen....breakfast is lovely and cooked to order..the fresh bread is fabulous with real honeycombReplyDelete
aww, what a wonderful weekend away! the food look so good, including just the plain iced water, haha. and that's so nice of the restaurant to give you a free drink for making you wait, usually they wouldn't even care so things like that really make your night. :)ReplyDelete
They always design their hotels so beautifully. It's all in the simple touches like that adorable toast menu! xReplyDelete
Amazing pictures, it must be a very nice place. My fave is Peach Melba desert, looks very tasty!ReplyDelete
I love Malmaison! The first time I'm in Manchester, I'll make sure that I'll stay there. It is so very obvious that the managers and the staff are people who enjoy their job and love it very much. The simple details makes the whole perfect. (And those fries look yummy!)ReplyDelete
I love Hotel du Vin and Malmaison - I'm always impressed with the attention to detail and the food is always amazing. Great photos!ReplyDelete
it looks amazing, the hotel, bar and the smoak. i walk past there to work every monday and i've wondered about the smoak for a while now. i always wondered if it's a public place and if it's busy (as it's still in the centre but i'm guessing more businessy people go there, is that right or wrong?)ReplyDelete
i've been in the hotel once but didn't stay, i was at a function. and i sure didn't realise it looked this good, seems more modern since i was there too
Thanks for taking the time to comment. If you would like to ask me a question, I will reply back here.

Two MLS teams with different approaches met in the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup. Playing at full strength, D.C. United beat the defending champion New England Revolution, which started only three players who have started at least half of their MLS games, 3-1, on Tuesday to advance to the final.
Brazilian Luciano Emilio scored two goals -- one early and one late -- to beat the Revs.
New England, which had won last week's SuperLiga, started three second-year players and five rookies, including 18-year-old Brandon Manzonelli, whomade his first professional start, playing the first 75 minutes at forward.
The loss was marked the first time this season that the Revs lost back-to-back games in all competitions. They had gone 25 games without losing two straight matches.

DR. R. BLYTHE TOWAL is a biomedical engineer at the California Institute of Technology practicing computational neuroscience of vision. Towal is most interested in using the brain to inspire different technologies in computer vision of robotics and also using robotics and computer vision to help inspire theories about the brain.
This story first appeared in the October 14, 2011 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
DR. KARLIN BARK is a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Pennsylvania in the field of haptics, the study of the sense of touch. She is working on several projects, one being the development of devices that recreate the sense of touch, such as in surgical robotics, since surgeons using robotic devices can't feel what they are working on. She is aiming to try to give them some tactile input.
DR. SASHA DEVORE is pursuing postdoctoral research in neuroscience at Cornell University. She studies how different areas of the brain communicate with each other — more specifically, how high-level areas of the brain responsible for decision making or communicating information to more sensory areas control what information the brain is taking in.
DR. TRISHA ANDREW is a postdoctoral researcher at MIT and is working on making a device that is one-tenth the width of a human hair that can absorb enough light to power common household items, such as a clock.
DR. TIJANA IVANOVIC, a postdoctoral researcher in the field of virology at Harvard University (she works remotely from the University of Colorado, where her husband teaches) is studying how viruses enter cells, specifically how the influenza virus breaks the membrane of a cell.
Five women in the field of science recently had their lives changed by winning L'Oréal's Women in Science Fellowship Award, which endows each winner with a $60,000 prize to be used toward their respective research, from neuroscience to chemistry to engineering. This year's group is the eighth set of female scientists to be selected by an interdisciplinary review panel and jury of nine scientists and engineers. The American Association for the Advancement of Science managed the peer-review process. The group was also treated to four days in Washington D.C., where the activities included networking with their peers, attending professional development seminars and perhaps the most fun perk of all: a personal tour of the White House and meeting Bo, the first dog. The day before a special luncheon at the Kennedy Caucus Room, where the winners were formally honored, the group sat down with Beauty Inc to discuss how the fellowship will propel their research and what it's like to be a woman in a man's field.
BI: I'd like to wish everyone congratulations. You've bested more than 200 applicants for this fellowship. From what I understand, while the number consistently increases, there are still relatively few women in the field. How did you become interested in science?
SASHA: For me, it was just being that curious kid. But also being in the right place at the right time, and sort of having an awesome never-ending series of teachers and mentors to give those subtle pushes in the right direction.
BI: Is being a woman an obstacle in your field?
SASHA: Personally, I have never felt that it has been an obstacle but I have also been extremely fortunate in that three out of my four graduate mentors and post-doc advisors have actually been females, so I've always had these strong female role models around me. But I am very aware that there are obstacles that women face and that it's not necessarily an even playing field.
BLYTHE: I wouldn't say [being a woman is necessarily an] obstacle, but it has been a little bit more difficult being the only woman in a room of maybe 60 other men in classes and things like that. It wasn't a roadblock, but it could be intimidating, I guess, for some people. I started out in electrical engineering, which is one of the more extreme cases [where men outnumber women].
TIJANA: I never believed that I couldn't do something because I am a woman or that there could be an obstacle that would be specific to me. I pushed 100 percent throughout education and throughout life. The time I felt there are real differences is when I decided to have a child. You are the one who is pregnant for nine months. You are the one who is going through labor and recovering from it. And you are the primary caretaker — even if your husband is helping a lot. You are the one who is breast feeding the child and who has to be there every two hours and so on. And throughout that you have to push your career. You don't want anyone knowing that it is slowing you down at all. So you have to find this extra energy.
BI: So your peers may not be able to relate to the stress of raising a child and also having a career?
TIJANA: I have an amazing advisor who is incredibly supportive who is a male and he is just wonderful. My husband started a faculty position at the University of Colorado while I was doing postdoc at Harvard Medical School and [my advisor] even offered that I move to Colorado to join my husband so that the family could stay together. He said that he would continue to provide support and guidance for me to continue postdoc from a remote location, which I think is incredible and unheard of.
BI: Why do you think there aren't more women in science?
SASHA: I could be wrong, but there are a lot of women starting out in science but the numbers drop off the higher you progress up the professional chain. I think it's the same in business, too.
BI: What would you attribute that to?
SASHA: I think it has to do with the work/life balance.
BLYTHE: I think it may have something to do with not having many role models or mentors that are above you as you go higher and higher. It is a very useful thing to find the right role model or mentors as you go higher, be they men or women, just someone open to the idea.
KARLIN: There is a stereotype that still exits — I am in engineering — and so when you think of an engineer you may think of someone who is working on cars or when they were kids they built radios. I never did any of that stuff. So young girls now, if they just had more exposure to what's possible in the science of engineering, they might realize at an earlier age that this is something that they want to do. Having role models and mentors and seeing someone who's like them doing that has a huge effect.
BI: Do any of you think that companies can do more to appeal to female scientists?
BLYTHE: Well, L'Oréal is doing a great thing here for women in science. Companies could just show women more support, not necessarily through a fellowship program, but by promoting women or having more women involved at higher levels of the company. So again, getting these role models and mentors in there to show that women can actually progress in their company and there is a possibility for them if they go there.
TRISHA: I wanted to point out again that L'Oréal is doing a great thing. The specific award they are giving for $60,000 is essentially toward our professional development and that allows us to take a leadership role in whatever activity we want to do. So we can control the reins and set the foundation for advancing our careers. Instead of having something more restrictive, we can basically choose our own path and plan for the future and even possibly use this in the early stages of our independent research labs. It is very unique and also very powerful.
TIJANA: When I moved from Harvard to University of Colorado I had to leave behind a certain technology that was essential for doing my research. What made it possible for me to continue my research was the L'Oréal fellowship, which is funding the major portion of building a special microscope that my research requires.
BI: Are there any discoveries within your respective research that in your wildest dreams may be applied to beauty in some way?
BLYTHE: My research studies where you look or what catches your eye so that may have tremendous implications in the beauty world if we figure out what brain processes direct our eyes to different things.
BI: I believe the beauty industry uses this type of technology when it comes to advertising and where the eye looks first on the page and why. Is this similar?
BLYTHE: They are related. They know a lot about this in terms of how one always tends to look at bright, shiny things with lights and lots of color and things like that. But there is also a significant amount of where we look that we can't quite explain. Also, when you start adding moving components it becomes a little more complicated. For example, if you are walking down the street and you're hungry you might tend to look at food items, even though they're not as bright and shiny or colorful. So it depends a lot on your own internal drives as well.
BI: So you might miss the bag of money.
BLYTHE: Right. Because you're so hungry.
KARLIN: As for my research, it's not so much beauty product related but in fashion for online shopping, if you want to know what some fabric feels like, if it's going to be like a rough piece of wool or a soft piece of silk, to know what the texture is. I foresee that in the next 20 years you'll have something like that on your touchpad, a little section where you can feel what the fabric is.
TIJANA: You never know where research can lead. What possibilities it can open up. For example, I study viruses and you say these are pathogens. They are bad things. Like, how can they be beneficial in any way? Actually, it turns out that viruses, certain viruses, are not that dangerous. Like the bacteria that produces this very potent neurotoxin, botulism, and it turns out when you really understand how something works you can actually take it and apply it the way you want so you can use it as a treatment for some conditions or as an anti-wrinkle agent.
SASHA: I don't personally apply my research in this direction but I study basic sensory processing, so I used to study how we hear and now I study how we smell. Those have very direct applications especially in olfaction and smell for the fragrance industry.
TRISHA: I can't even try [to come up with how my research is related to beauty].
Lots of laughter from the group.
TRISHA: But that's the great thing about this award. L'Oréal is a traditional cosmetics company but very tangentially by funding me they are investing in renewable resources.
BI: Do any of you think that beauty products might be different if there were more women creating them?
TRISHA: Any time there is greater female participation or even gender equality in any field, it is always good. I'm not going to say that a particular brand is better if there is a woman making it instead of a man. But any time there are more female scientists behind a commercial product it helps the public realize that science is everywhere and chemistry is everywhere. If having a woman behind it allows more nonscientists to aspire to those fields and not separate themselves from science and technology as much as people tend to [then that's great].
BI: If you did have the technology to create any kind of beauty product what would it be?
BLYTHE: I would invent something that would minimize the amount of time I would have to spend [on a beauty regimen] so that I could do more research.
TIJANA: Something that makes you look really refreshed after you have a couple of all-nighters.
SASHA: A mind-reading robot that could read your mind about how you would like to look and then make you look that way.
KARLIN: Mine is kind of simple. Sometimes I put on liquid eyeliner but my hand's kind of shaky and I can't put it on so I have to wait for it to dry to take it off and reapply.
TRISHA: I'm Indian so it's always either removing hair or keeping hair. Trying to decide on a really quick hair removal that doesn't smell.
BI: As scientists and doctors, when you hear about a new technology in the beauty world, maybe via a commercial or a magazine, are you immediately skeptical of the science behind it?
SASHA: As scientists, we are probably all extremely critical people and be it a beauty product — any product — or a scientific paper in our field, you read it with a discerning eye. We would apply the same critiques to an article we are reading in Science Magazine that we would to the science behind a beauty product.
TRISHA: There's no difference, there's no low or high-brow signs. Any time a company chooses to use the concept of science to plug a product it's really good. A friend and former fellow was given a chance to work at the L'Oréal labs in New Jersey and she came back pretty impressed with the degree of accuracy and peer review processes. Jumping to the conclusion or denigrating the science that is presented in an ad is not very scientific. Taking caution is the best way to go.
KARLIN: On the one hand we might have a greater appreciation because a lot of times research is very incremental and it takes a lot of work to make a really small improvement and you get super excited about it. Knowing that in cosmetics there's much that goes behind it, so when they say it's a more voluminous mascara a lot of work went into doing that.
TRISHA: We were told earlier this morning about a L'Oréal fragrance-free coloring system [INOA] and I'm a chemist, so all I'm thinking is, there is chemistry behind this. It's not like someone just made up this random series of words. A team of chemists came up with this. There is science in everything.
BI: What are each of your favorite beauty products and did you choose it because of the science behind it or was it just trial and error that brought you to the product?
BLYTHE: My favorite beauty product is actually the thing that holds my hair back out of my face. [Laughs.] No, really, I often wear lip gloss and I am very discerning because my lips get very dry in the lab.
TIJANA: I'm not a person who uses beauty products a lot, but I recently tried a lip gloss and putting it on was a lot of fun. Then, after I came home from having dinner and a couple of drinks, I saw myself in the mirror and my lips were still shiny. I thought that was really cool.
SASHA: I have really sensitive skin so it is always hard for me to find a face wash and moisturizer that will either make me not completely dry or oily. For me, when I find the right products, I buy them 10 at a time.
BI: Do all of you read the ingredients list and does that spur a purchase?
TRISHA: I do. I'm a chemist. I like Redken and I settled on it by reading the labels. I found out I liked a particular active ingredient as opposed to the ones that are not in most common products that don't work. After an undergraduate education I figured out why that doesn't work, so when I saw Redken was different, I tried it out.
KARLIN: Not being a chemist, I don't read the ingredients but I do read the little ad labels that say "more volume" or "more shiny."
BI: Are you uberimpressed by your peers here?
IN UNISON: All of them!
TRISHA: I totally feel eclipsed by all of these awesome engineers doing this touch-sensitive stuff, the eye movements.
BI: What is the ultimate goal of your research?
SASHA: The ultimate goal is not something that I directly work on, that would be on the medical side, but I pass my information on and have what is called translational research, so you translate what you're doing at the bench into a model that would work for the human medical model.
KARLIN: What I'll be working on with this fellowship is looking at stroke rehabilitation. The goal of that is to develop a low-cost at-home rehabilitation system that patients can use that emulates the presence or the touch of a physical therapist. What happens a lot right now, especially with this one specific set of stroke patients, is they have visual reception sensory damage and if you ask them to stick their arm out in a certain pose it will end up somewhere else but the patient thinks she is properly replicating the pose. The way the physical therapists rehabilitate that is by doing a lot of repetitions and doing this motion over and over. The physical therapists came to us and said it would be really great if we could make a device that patients could take home and practice more often and help them rehabilitate faster.
BLYTHE: I started out in robotics and electrical engineering and one of my first jobs was to train a robot to make a cut with a knife, and one thing that really frustrated me while I was doing this project is that I was using state-of-the-art engineering approaches but this was still so hard. That made me wonder exactly what I'm doing and what my brain is doing to make a cut. That's where I really got interested in this bio-inspired or neuro-inspired engineering, where I actually go through and look at the brain and figure out what algorithms the brain is using to do these complicated motions and then take that information back and try to build better robotics technology.
TIJANA: Ultimately, I would like to create a very detailed picture of a virus entering into cells. What my work promises to do is to visualize the transition and to get a molecular movie of the event that takes you from before fusion to after fusion. This type of knowledge can then inform drug design in targeting and preventing the influenza virus.
TRISHA: Our goal is to make renewable energy or any device that can harness the sun's energy very cheaply and cost effectively. What we have done so far is we can put solar cells on anything you want — for example, we have made solar cells on a page of The New York Times, so if you take it out in the sun it can power, say, a clock. That's kind of like the display version. What we have also done is make brightly colored plastic sheets that can fit as window panes, so we can do a wall of windows in your apartment, like a design or different colors, and that colored window is actually harvesting the sun's energy that could power your TV.
BI: How did you find out you won this award? Was it like the Academy Awards, when someone just calls your house to let you know you were nominated?
BLYTHE: Most of us had a similar story where L'Oréal called us and we didn't pick up the phone. We got a message to call back. Many of us were very hopeful at that point thinking, "Why would they call us if we didn't get it?"
KARLIN: They called me on a Friday and I didn't pick up the phone and I spent the whole weekend analyzing whether they would call to let me know I didn't get it and I thought they could if they were being really nice.
SASHA: I didn't answer the phone either. I have really bad cell reception in my office so I tried calling back a million times. I walked into my advisor's office and said I had just gotten a message from L'Oréal, what do you think that means? And she started jumping up and down.
TIJANA: For me, my entire world transformed because it was between no, you can't do your work or yes, you can do your work. When I moved to Colorado my work essentially had to stop because I needed to build a microscope and when I won, I knew it was possible [to continue].
TRISHA: I'm the only one of the five fellows who actually picked up my phone. I saw a New York number and I picked up my phone and they said, "Hi, this is L'Oréal and we are calling to tell you that you are a fellow." Right then and there, I just started yelling and screaming and jumping up and down. I ran into the hallway and I was jumping so loud, [the woman on the phone] said, "Let me call you back and let you process this information."

Minature Prague
Olomouc is another very scenic, historic city. You could say it s much like a miniature
Prague that has not yet been discovered.
The city has some fine looking old buildings, and part of the old city wall
still remains.
The main square in the city is the location of the Holy Trinity Column a 115 ft

Morning in Olomouc + Train Travel to Prague
We're writing this post on the train to Prague. (Initially, we were at the wrong platform and track so the day could have been rather exciting). We spent a leisurely morning in Olomouc. Even got in a quick workout at the neighborhood gym. Which is good b/c all we've done is eat and drink. Check out the pics of our breakfast today. Being the little foodie that I am, it's hard not to want a taste of everything. I did ...

I have worked with Photoshop for over 10 Years. I suppose on of the first tasks one has to master in Photoshop is how to make selections. I started with the basics-the lasso tools and the magic wand. Layer masks were the next step as well as making selections with color range-using adjustment layers or channels to up the contrast making it easier to make selections with the various tools. The pen tool is my favorite selection tool for images like bottles or whatever. Also the vector shape tools give a variety for making shapes or shape layers. For retouching I have used all the obvious tools such as the stamp or healing brush tools to fix tears or holes.mold or dust -the dodge or burn tools to brighten of darken-the adjustment layers to adjust tone and remove color casts or help saturate very pale images.., I use mostly levels and curves. Colorizing B & W photos I paint on different layers over the image and use the blend modes.Of course one of the fun things in PS is dragging and dropping layers into another document and combining the images -say putting a dogs head on a man. Things like this are not that difficult as long as the light sources are fairly consistent in both documents. Layer styles I use mostly for type but sometimes us them in pictures. Now we have smart objects -smart filters which are not destructive and give one even more control. I could go on and on with all the filters-I have my favorites-noise -wind-blast-the blur filters--So many do different things I can't list them all. Using PS I don't mean to braq but I'm a real speed demon and know all the keyboard shortcuts that work for me -as well as using actions. I could get into patterns and painting them using a Wacom tablet with a pressure sensitive pen.It's all a-lot of fun and I will be am putting up a website soon to show my work. I would be glad to send examples.
I have a BFA from the Kansas City Art institute. I have drawn from the figure, drawn landscapes and I make sketches for the Software Program Illustrator. I have made working drawings for murals and then translated the drawing (using a grid) onto large walls for the murals.
My wife and I have owned and run a mural company. We have worked for Disney, Michael Graves, the Mohegan Casinos in New York State. Also worked for private clients as well.

|Scottie Pippen. (Steve Lipofsky/Basketballphoto.com)
"Scottie Pippen!"
"Excuse me," he said in his low rumble, right before splitting the defense between my friend E-Y and his mom, and then bolting down the escalator to the VIP lounges. I dropped my suitcase and unzipped it, frantically looking for my camera. I couldn't find it, but I pulled out something else that I thought might be relevant: my gray Nike Air Pippens.
"Hey Scottie!" I shouted down the escalator. "I bought your shoes!" Dude ran like I was 1989 Dennis Rodman coming up behind him on the fast break.
|Nike Air Pippens. Still got'em! (The NBA from the Cheap Seats)
So I may not be the most unbiased source of Scottie Pippen information. More than any other basketball player, I admire Pippen's skill set. A six-foot-seven small forward who had court vision and handled the ball like a point guard but still had the length and quickness to guard four positions and the power and athleticism to unleash thunderous dunks on the league's best big men. People say LeBron James has no historical comparison? Pippen was clearly the template for LeBron (insert Dwyane Wade's sidekick joke here). LeBron is just Pippen on steroids ("on steroids" just an expression, that needs to be clarified these days).
Yet some critics still find ways to detract from his accomplishments. Critics like ESPN's Skip Bayless, whom I am absolutely positive does not believe half the garbage he says and deliberately chooses the most inane angles on sports arguments just to sound ridiculous. Fine, that's his schtick. I get it. What aggravates me is that ESPN puts him up against a creampuff like Jemele Hill who rambles off a bunch of subjective statements ("There are a lot of players who would've been too intimidated to shine the way he did [next to Jordan]." Yeah, put that on Pippen's HOF plaque.) and can't connect even against these softballs Bayless lobs at her.
|Not a clue on either side of this table. (ESPN)
Joke #1 — In his five years with Houston and Portland, Scottie Pippen averaged 14.5, 12.5, 11.3, 10.6, and 10.8 ppg.
How weak is your position when you resort to points-per-game to argue a man's Hall of Fame credentials? Pippen joined a Houston team with Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, and no real point guard. He joined a Trailblazers team with Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith, Damon Stoudamire, Arvydas
Sabonis, Bonzi Wells, and Detlef Schrempf. On neither of those teams was he asked to carry the scoring load. He fit in because his talents are so multi-faceted that he could play other roles—like facilitator and defensive stopper—that those teams needed.
Here are the yearly career PPG averages of another Hall-of-Famer: 14.7, 16.6, 16.7, 18.7, 18.2, 16.9, 18.9, 16.8, 15.0, 14.1, 12.9, 13.3, 12.5, 9.9. This bum couldn't even crack 20 ppg in any single year. How the hell could he possibly make it into the HOF? Perhaps on account on his 11 championship titles, considering we're talking about Bill Russell. Not every player makes his impact through scoring. Duh.
Joke #2 — At age 34, Michael Jordan averaged 29-6-4, led the NBA in scoring, was first-team All-NBA, and won his sixth Finals MVP while leading the Bulls to their sixth title. At 34, Pippen was a role player on the Trailblazers.
The only reason Bayless picked 34 was because that was the age at which Jordan won his last title. Let's play along and assume there is some type of magical significance associated with that number. Yes, even at 34, Michael Jordan was sublime, but what if we hold other top HOF swingmen to his standard at that age?
- Elgin Baylor 25-10-5. First-team All-NBA, All-Star. His Lakers lost in seven in the Finals to the Boston Celtics. Jordanesque, though Jerry West was clearly the leader on that team, and they also got a 20-20 year out of Wilt Chamberlain.
- Jerry West 23-4-9. Trailed only Gail Goodrich on his team for points but led it in assists. First-team All-NBA, All-Star. His Lakers lost in the Finals to the New York Knicks. So far so good!
- Oscar Robertson 16-5-8. Fourth highest scorer on his team, though he did lead it in assists. His Milwaukee Bucks lost in the playoff semifinals to the Golden State Warriors. Bit of a drop-off now.
- John Havlicek 19-6-5. Played all 82 games. Second-team All-NBA, first-team All-Defense, All-Star. Helped the Dave Cowens Celtics to the Conference Finals, where they lost to the Bullets.
- Earl Monroe 12-3-1. Came off the bench, and played only the eighth most minutes. His Knicks didn't make the playoffs.
- Rick Barry 14-6-4. Acted as facilitator for the Moses Malone/Calvin Murphy/Rudy Tomjanovich Houston Rockets that got swept by the Hawks in the first round.
- Julius Erving 20-5-3. All-Star. Helped a stacked Philadelphia 76ers team with Moses Malone and Andrew Toney in their primes plus rookie Charles Barkley to the Conference Finals, where they lost to the Celtics.
- Adrian Dantley 6-1-1. Played only 10 games for the Milwaukee Bucks.
- Larry Bird 19-9-7. Led his team in minutes and points and was second in rebounds and assists, but missed 22 games. All Star. His Boston Celtics lost to the Pistons in the Semifinals.
- Dominique Wilkins 24-6-2 for the Hawks before trade. 29-7-2 for the Clippers after. Still a scoring machine if no longer a highlight reel. Third-team All-NBA, All-Star. His Clippers did not make the playoffs.
- Clyde Drexler 18-6-6. Third wheel for those Hakeem/Barkley Rockets, but he missed 20 games. All-Star. His Rockets lost in the Conference Finals that year to Utah.
- Joe Dumars 13-4-1. His Pistons didn't make the playoffs.
- Reggie Miller 18-3-2. Missed just one game. All-Star. Led Indiana Pacers team that lost in the Finals to the Lakers, though Jalen Rose carried an equal share of those Pacers. Reggie isn't HOF yet, but he played in the same era and just happened not to retire until later.
- James Worthy, George Gervin, and Pete Maravich were no longer playing in the NBA at 34.
|The defensive-minded Pippen. (NBA)
- Scottie Pippen 13-6-5. Played all 82 games. On that stacked Blazers team, he was second in minutes, second in assists, third in rebounds, and third in points. Second-team All-Defense. This is the Blazers team that had the infamous collapse in Game 7 of the Conference Finals against the Lakers and let a 17-point lead slip away in the fourth quarter.
While Pippen may be in the bottom half when comparing his age-34 production against the best Hall of Fame shooting guards and small forwards of all time, he is still firmly in the conversation.
Joke #3 — Michael Jordan made Scottie Pippen.
This argument can be deconstructed in two ways. First, look at Michael Jordan's career without Scottie Pippen. Number of MVP awards won: five. Number of MVP awards without Pippen: zero. Number of Championships won: six. Number of championships without Pippen: zero. Number of first-team All-NBA's: 10. Number of first-team All-NBA's without Pippen: one.
You can look at Jordan's first-team All-NBA in 1987 without Pippen and say he was already on his way even if Pippen never came along, and you'd be right. But how far was he going to get without Pippen? Couldn't you also say Pippen would have been on his way even if Jordan never came along? No logic can extract how much of those Bulls teams' success belonged to Jordan, how much to Pippen, and how much to Phil Jackson. All those elements affected each other, and no one with a functional brain can say one of them completely manufactured another (unless you're Skip Bayless and blowing smoke up everybody's asses for kicks, of course).
|It's Pippen's time!
(Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE/Getty Images)
Finally out of Jordan's shadow, he received his first first-team All-NBA selection, remained first-team All-Defense, and finished third in MVP voting. He even won the All-Star game MVP. He led that Bulls team to 55 wins, but ultimately lost in seven to the New York Knicks. This was the series that featured his infamous refusal to come back into a game after Phil Jackson drew up a last shot play for Toni Kukoc, an admittedly selfish decision that sadly has been given far too much weight in determining Pippen's legacy.
Unfortunately, I don't know Pippen's splits in 1994-1995 before and after Michael Jordan came back. I do know Jordan returned late in the season and averaged an astounding 27-7-5 over 17 games with virtually no time to prep for the season, which showed in his paltry 41.1% field goal percentage.
Still, this Bulls season belonged to Pippen, who went 21-8-5 over 79 game, received his second first-team All-NBA selection, and continued to remain first-team All-Defense. Over the entire season, Pippen led the team in total points, rebounds, assists, steals (league-leader), blocks, minutes, field goals made and attempted, and free throws made and attempted.
You've Got to Do a Better Job Arguing for Pippen than That
Do I expect Jemele Hill to know all of these points when arguing for Pippen? You're goddamn right I do! You get time to prepare for these debates, and you know Bayless is going to come at you with the dumbest possible angles.
Even without preparation, anyone familiar with Pippen should be able to throw out the 55-win season, Pippen's two All-NBA first-team selections (mostly) sans Jordan, the versatile roles Pippen was asked to play on those Rockets (point forward) and Blazers (defensive stopper) teams, the fact that saying Jordan made Pippen is just as illogical as saying Pippen made Jordan, and the fact that judging a player's value based on PPG is makes about as much sense as using height and weight.
This is all before mentioning that Jordan himself acknowledged Pippen, an eight-time All-Defense first-team selection, may have been an even better defender than he was, as noted in David Halberstram's seminal book on Jordan, Playing for Keeps. If Michael Jordan is giving the speech to induct Scottie Pippen into the Basketball Hall of Fame, if His Airness himself says Pippen is HOF-worthy, who is Skip Bayless to say he isn't?
That's right. Bayless is nobody. Congratulations, Scottie Pippen.

Nancy Goldberg watched them pass by her Penn Valley property across the street from Har Zion Temple, a large synagogue atop Hollow Road hill, up from the Schuylkill Expressway in Lower Merion.
After letting a couple of TV trucks park in her driveway, Goldberg walked out of the house and stood with a phalanx of camera crews waiting to see who was among the dignitaries arriving for the funeral Tuesday morning of former U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter.
Specter, who died Sunday of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at 82, might have enjoyed the spectacle. As Goldberg noted, "I've lived here 20 years, and I've never seen anything like it. It was like being in a movie with all the media. It was surreal."

Definition of aphelion
apheliaplay \-yə\
: the point in the path of a celestial body (as a planet) that is farthest from the sun — compare perihelion
Did You Know?
Aphelion and perihelion are troublesome terms. Which one means a planet is nearest to the sun and which means it is farthest away? An etymology lesson may help you keep those words straight. Just remember that the "ap" of aphelion derives from a Latin prefix that means "away from" (the mnemonic "'A' for 'away'" can help too); peri-, on the other hand, means "near." And how are aphelion and perihelion related to the similar-looking astronomical pair, apogee and perigee? Etymology explains again. The "helion" of aphelion and perihelion is based on the Greek word hēlios, meaning "sun," while the "gee" of apogee and perigee is based on gaia, meaning "earth." The first pair describes distance in relation to the sun, the second in relation to the earth.
Origin and Etymology of aphelion
New Latin, from apo- + Greek hēlios sun — more at solar
First Known Use: 1656

I would highly recommend this hotel to families! The 2-bedroom suites are perfect! The pool is small but great for smaller children! The location is perfect! 2 blocks from the Alamo & easy to stroll over to the Riverside Mal & Walk! Even small children can handle this walk!
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
This hotel is located only a block from the Alamo and 2 blocks from the River Walk. Adjacent to the freeway but soundproofed.
The suites are large and very well appointed. Excellent bed and pillows. Excellent bathroom. Lounge and kitchen very comfortable. Plenty of room and storage. Everything you would expect from this level of accommodation.
We booked early and got a special rate of $100 pn incl bfast.
Free beer and wine and free burgers the night we arrived was a treat and well enjoyed.
Staff very helpful.

Historical Traveler Reviews Residence Inn San Antonio Downtown/Alamo Plaza
Awesome Hotel!
My family stayed at the Residence Inn Alamo Plaza this past week and had a wonderful experience. The hotel was recently built and very clean. The suites are awesome--full kitchen with fridge, microwave, stove, dishwasher; separate bedroom with full closet and bathroom. The staff was EXTREMELY nice and friendly and the housekeeping even washes your dishes for you when they clean the room. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need from dishes to silverware to dishwashing detergent. They also have people on staff who will buy your groceries for no additional charge if you leave a list at the front desk by 9 am. There is a full buffet style breakfast in the morning with everything from cold cereal and oatmeal to sausage and eggs to making your own waffles. We have two children age 2 years and 10 months, and this hotel was perfect for them. It is very "kid-friendly" with an animal safari theme--each floor has a different stuffed animal in a little cage. Our daughter Annie loved seeing all the different animals. The waitresses in the morning also passed out animal stickers. If you have a two year old, you will know how exciting a little sticker can be! They also have new pack-and-plays (cribs) that you can use for no additional charge. The pool is pretty small but it was never that crowded so it wasn't a problem for us. There is also a hot tub next to the pool. There are three laundry rooms with washers and dryers (cost is .75). There is detergent and bounce in the laundry room that you can buy if you don't want to bring your own (cost is also .75). The hotel is only a few blocks from the Alamo and Rivercenter Mall. There is also a trolley stop nearby where you can catch a trolley to just about anywhere downtown. It is in a GREAT location. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go and rode the trolley a few times. We did drive to Seaworld and it only took us 15 to 20 minutes. Also, on Monday through Thursday the hotel has a hospitality hour from 5 to 7 where they serve appetizers and wine and beer. We paid $90 a night for the one bedroom suite b/c my husband is a doctor at the Veterans Hospital in Little Rock and we get a government rate. Parking in their garage is $10 a day. I don't think there is a better deal out there for a suite room with a kitchen this close to the Riverwalk area. Especially when you include the buffet breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel--especially for families. Oh, and if you have a pet who will be traveling with you, they are allowed. There are also two bedroom suites if you have a bigger family. You really can't go wrong if you choose the Residence Inn Alamo Plaza!
I would stay again
We stayed Memorial weekend, 2005 for 3 nights. Our group was 2 adults and 2 young children. We reserved and paid for a 1 bedroom but ended up in a studio because I erroneously booked a smoking room. My fault, but I would have loved to have been in a 1 bedroom.
The room was large comfortable and quiet! Well equipped.
The staff was GREAT! Very friendly, expedient and helpful. They know what they are doing! The maid brought a crib for us and set it up.
The location was very good, close to the Riverwalk, Alamo, bus stops and restaurants. Don't get a car, you will have to pay to park and you don't need it.
The breakfast was good, a lot of variety. My 3 yr old loved the waffles. We ate in the lobby next to the pool but many guests brought breakfast to their room.
Convenient location and great service
This hotel is literally one block to the Alamo and 2 blocks to the Riverwalk. Great family stay due to the kitchen and living room. The staff at this hotel were all excellent. The front desk was always available for suggestions on restaurants and tourist locations. It is located by a bar, but it didn't interrupt our sleep at all. The location is immediately off of I35 and very easily accessed. The breakfast buffet had great variety and stocked well. The value is just great at this hotel. The beds were comfortable but not luxurious. The pool is small, but adequate for small children. The hotel was incredibly clean. Just great service!!! Would stay again.
The Basics plus Friendly Service
I stayed here with a friend during a very busy convention. We were pleased with the Marriott Residence Inn. First, the service was VERY friendly. I was greeted daily in the halls and elevator by housekeepers. George, the night bellman was especially kind along with the front desk staff.
The front desk reccomended Boudros restaurant for excellent steak.
Totally worth it. Also you should try their pink cactus margarita and the quacamole that they prepare at your table!!! YUM! The best on the Riverwalk!
Our room wasn't a double, so it was kind of crowded for 2. It was a drag sleeping on the convertible sofa. The pool is teeny tiny and the hot tub is miniature. Also-- if you want room service -- there is none! The hotel is in a good location, and very close to the Alamo. It is less convenient if you are walking back and forth to the convention center and mall areas, but it is good exercise!
HOWEVER, they have a terrific free happy hour and a daily free breakfast that made up for the lack of room service.
I would stay here again. It is less romantic than the Riverwalk hotels, but it is the BASICS plus FRIENDLY SERVICE.
Great Stay at the Residence Inn
My boyfriend and I just returned from a wonderful trip to San Antonio. We stayed at the Residence Inn Downtown/Alamo Plaza. Overall the hotel was great and we were very pleased.
The positives are that the suites have full kitchens in them, a relatively comfortable bed (although for a queen it was quite small) lots of water pressure in the shower and it was VERY clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Whenever I called the front desk and needed something, they were at our door within 5 minutes! Although the hotel was not on the Riverwalk, it was only about a 5-10 minute walk max. It was literally a block from the Alamo, so it was very convenient. The breakfast was quite good for a buffet. It was mostly the same every day, but it was good food. Check in and check out was quick and painless (except for one detail which I will describe below.)
There really aren't any negatives about this hotel, I would prefer to call them things I hope the hotel can improve on someday. And some things are outside of the hotel's control, such as the noisy trains that seem to run all night and day. Even with the window closed, we could still hear the trains. It took some time to get used to and I don't think I slept through the night once while we were there because the trains were so loud. Other than that, it was only loud on Friday night because there is a very popular gay bar right next to the hotel. At 3am, it was like a party outside. But other than that, we didn't have any problems with the noise. Another thing that bothered me is that the hotel didn't have a common computer with internet access to use. They did have a laptop hookup in the room, but I don't have a laptop, yet I still needed to use the internet but wasn't able to.
Another downfall was the pool. It was tiny and surrounded by cement walls. I took one look at it and decided that we were not going to be spending time laying beside it. The surrounding cement walls were so high that the pool was in constant shade all day long.
Lastly, something I did find to be slightly negative, is that they wouldn't give me a AAA discount on the cost of the room. They stated that the price that I booked at ($124 per night) was lower than normal and that a 10% discount on the regular room price would have cost more than the promotional rate of $124 that they were currently charging me. I personally think that was a crock. I believe their room rate is always $124 per night and they have just found a way to avoid giving AAA members a 10% discount. That did not impress me at all.
So that is all I have to say about this hotel. San Antonio is a fabulous place to visit. If we return, we would most likely stay at this hotel again.
What a treat
We could not have been more pleased with this facility. The suite was exceptionally clean, service outstanding and breakfast buffet scrumptious and varied. This one is a real value and I would recommend it to anyone.
Great experience near the alamo
We were extremely pleased with every facet of this hotel. The furnishings have recently been updated, so the rooms, hallways and lobby are bright and cheery. Breakfast is wonderful, complete with make-your-own waffles, fruit and meats. The staff is very friendly, courteous and helpful-- they have printed directions on just about anywhere you want to go. There is also a happy hour with munchies during the week. The location is only a block from the Alamo, and within walking distance to the Riverwalk. The pool is a bit small, and be sure to budget in $10 a day for parking. Overall, our experience here was wonderful and we will definitely be back!
After seeing websites for some of the more upscale hotels in the area, I was a bit concerned about what quality and service at the Residence Inn. However, we visited the Residence Inn in March 2004 and were thrilled with the hotel's location, staff, cleanliness, and value.
The Residence Inn is conveniently located near the Alamo and Riverwalk.
We rented a car, but really didn't need it since the hotel is just a few blocks from both. (For anything further, there was a trolley that runs through town that charges 50 cents a person.)
The room, lobby, exercise room, dining area were always clean. Although we saw the outdoor pool, we weren't able to use it during our visit as it was under construction. The exercise room was better than most hotel gyms that I've seen. It had two step machines, stationary bike, treadmill, dumbbells (10lbs up to at least 50lbs - I can't remember exactly), and one of those multi gym machines. The dining area where breakfast was served was always well-staffed and had plenty of food.
During our stay, everyone on the staff was friendly, helpful, and courteous. I would definitely stay at this hotel again!
Great place just off the river
Stayed at the Menger for 2 nights and hated it. Tiny, Tiny, Tiny rooms that smelled bad. Moved over to the Residence Inn and loved it. Great staff (extremely friendly), nice breakfast buffet, and a short walk to the river.
Great Hotel
The Residence inn is about a block from the Alamo and just a few blocks from the River Walk and River Center Mall. There were four of us. Three adults and my 16 year old son in a two bedroom suite. The suite was very clean and the bedrooms both had doors for privacy. We had a TV in both bedrooms and the liveing room. The staff is very friendly and they know there jobs very well. The free breakfast was awesome. In my opinion, this place runs a class act as far as being clean and catering to the people who stay there. For the Money you can't beat it. i'am saving my marriott rewards also.

Shopping ... unsuccessfully
Our only activity today was an attempt to get the suitcases fuller before we head home in three weeks. We went to many stores over 6 hours and didn't get much at all, despite trying on lots of clothes. The day was pretty warm but it got overcast so the day was comfortable despite being in the late 80s. For lunch we had Taco Bell and for dinner we had ...
Underground caves and snake farm
... people and the second "Hidden Passages" tour had 8 people. They really stressed the importance of not touching the walls, ceilings or formations, pointing out that doing so was a third degree felony. Apparently the oils and dirt in human hands can impact the caves, and we could see evidence of that when comparing the first caves that had bats through them 4,000 years ago with the caves that were sealed off ...
What do you call a grouchy german? A sauer-kraut!!
... with the San Antonio accordion club, tuba meisters, choir and concert band, fire on the mountain cloggers and Beethoven dance. We didn't stay long enough to see the last two events, but it was interesting. They played "In Heaven There is No Beer," "Beer Barrel Polka," and many other familiar German songs. We also met a lot of friendly Germans around us, including some from Minnesota.

Porto days 2 & 3 Saturday Spent most of the day exploring the centre of Porto, walked into town, and down to the river foreshore. Being Saturday there were heaps of people everywhere. Found out later that this is a long weekend in Spain, so heaps of Spaniards are in Porto this weekend too. The river foreshore was very pleasant, a steep walk there & back up to the CBD, thru a lot of narrow lanes. Steve and I found ourselves in a very dodgy lane where drug deals were going down and a number of unsavoury characters in doorways, so we high...Jump to full entry

Averio - Porto We took a early morning guided car tour of Averio, checking out the outer port , beach suburbs and salt mining area just outside Averio. The salt mining basically has not changed since Roman times with a series of shallow lagoons taking in sea water with the final pond being the highest in salt concentration from evaporation. Three (3) blokes shovelled out 250 tonnes of salt each season over about 4 warmest months. A lot of work, especially after the heavy rains in January damage the small bund walks so need fixing every year...Jump to full entry

Porto, Portugal 10/4/2015 The Classic Journeys segment of our trip began today as we flew from Lisbon to the more northern city of Porto. We met our group and headed to the ocean into which the Douro River flows. We saw a fort along the shore. In the rain, as we were boarding the bus, Anne took a nasty fall and probably fractured a rib which made deep breathing painful. Since there is really nothing to do for such an injury, we continued on with the walking tour of Porto. The buildings are rather dingy from the ocean atmosphere and many are...Jump to full entry

We crossed the border into Portugal, a country we had not visited in the past so we were excited to start exploring. Our first stop was the town of Caminho. Our campground was on a sandy point with the ocean on one side and the Minho River on the other side. We explored the area by bicycle and climbed a really, really steep road up a mountain that had me off my bike and walking. On top of the mountain was a small church. We later learn that in Portugal there seems to be a church on top of most mountains. Portugal is a very hilly country...Jump to full entry

Aveiro is known for its salt harvesting from the sea. The river is teaming with boats that were once used for salt production. These days, they seem to be used for private tours for tourists.

We were superbly pleased by both the town and the hotel.

From there we walked down through the town and along the waterfront, and after stopping for some lunch at a small café we DID find the Museo do Vinho do Porto and took a look around.

We went to the end of the line to Trinidade and then got some great advice and a 48 hour Portocard for €8 each. This gives free transport around the city (except the tram) and free or discounted entry to several attractions.

Is Great Expressions a Scam, Rip Off, or Fraud? WARN OTHER CONSUMERS By SharingCategory: Dentists Directory ListingGreat Expressions Dental Centers Listing
I went to Great Expressions a repair I wanted to have done. I only wish I would have investigate this practice before I choice them. After they did my exam, Great Expressions advice was to due a full front bridge instead of the repair. After there pep talk. I agreed to the process and had no idea what a nightmare I was about to enter into. It was the worst dental experience of my life.
To begin with, the process was going to take 3 months from beginning to end. So the story begins with the temporary bridge, which by the way broke within the first few minutes after I got home. I went back the next day to repair the temporary and let's just say it took another 12 more temporaries, a lot and pain and suffering before it all ended. They never excepted responsibility for their poor quality of work that was done…I couldn't eat or go out comfortably with out worrying about the temp breaking.
Finally, my permanent bridge was done and put in. The nightmare continues. The permanent was put in Sept of 2014, well it's only been a year in a half later and one front tooth on the porcelain bridge began to fracture and break…keep in mind insurance with only pay for a bridge every 5 years…so this should have lasted as least that. Not to mention that I paid $2500. out of pocket after insurance.
Now here I am over a year later and my bridge starts breaking…the real nightmare is my wedding is just 5 weeks away… I call them up in a panic, I go the office at first they don't want to give me an appointment at the office I originally went to and very close to my home. They insist I have to go to another office because the dentist that did the work was moved to a different location. Well of course I argued and insisted on seeing anyone because this was serious and I needed immediate attention..
OK…so they took X-Rays and they also took pictures of the broken bridge. The out come was the bridge would have to be replaced. The problem was it wouldn't be ready in 5 weeks…and there could be a CHARGE!!! REALLY!…How do they have the nerve to want to charge me for a full bridge that only lasted over a year…
The dentist that agreed to assess the damage, although he was very nice didn't really want to get involved he suggested I see the dentist in the practice that did the work…..I told him I did't like her work or attitude and didn't want her to treat me. I ended up with no help on this and I was back to square one. I asked this dentist if my bridge could at least last 5 more weeks, He seemed to think I could of course couldn't offer a guarantee..but felt confident it could.
The very next day another piece came from the bridge. I went into a complete panic as the break was becoming more visible. I called my insurance company explained the complete story and wanted to know my options. I was advised I could either try to work out an agreement with Great Expressions or write a narrative to the insurance company explaining what happened so I could possibly get compensated for a new bridge. The other option is seek a new Dental Group and have them help with the narrative to replace the bridge.
As it turns out I found a new dental group and they were able to do a repair. They were wonderful. It just shows what a greedy, money hungry poor quality practice Great Expressions Dental Group is. They should be investigated and aloud to practice dentistry.
