The Scene! Under my covers in my room, my Dad sitting next to my bed in a chair, lights out with my little radio on listening to the 1984 New York Rangers New York Islanders game five playoff game. I was eleven years old.
Already knowing the winner of this game would move on and the loser to the golf courses, my heart was in my stomach for most of this match.
With the Rangers trailing 2-1 deep into the third, tears starting to form in my eyes during the last minute of play. Suddenly a light of hope came when Don Maloney would tie the game at the 19:21 mark to even the score 2-2. Only thirty nine seconds left in the game.
I remember the goal being questioned as a high stick, but the goal would stick and regulation would soon end. The final game of this series would need over time to settle it.
As a sixth grader the fear of going to school the next day to see all those Islander fans was just too much. I would have some company though as half my friends in school were Islanders fans, the other half were with me, Rangers fans. Yes it was a school night but I would of stayed up all night listening to this great game at the height of the Rangers Islanders rivalry. As my pops who was sitting next to me on my bed side allowed the late night, he was also a Ranger.
As the Game went on in the extra session, it was just so nerve wrecking I knew that I would bleed blue for life. So much back and forth emotion in a game that stuck till this day.
Glen Hanlon the first huge save on a back hand shot from Bob Bourne. Mike Bossy had a huge chance on a 3 on 1, back the other way Don Maloney came so close to ending it but was robbed by Billy Smith.
Then it would happen, the next goal scored would be the first hockey game to break my heart. Kenny Morrow off a rebound to beat Glen Hanlon.
Well the tears started to flow and my Dad told me don't worry son we'll get them next year. And I would have to face those Islander fans then next day, even though I would have my fun later in the Islander playoff run with all those T-shirts staying Drive for Five. The Islanders who were winners of four straight Stanley Cups would finally come to an end at the hands of Wayne Gretzky and the Oilers.
My Dads words we'll get them next year, but little did I know my next year would come 10 years later and it was well worth the wait.
When I first saw this video again I was surprised of the quality of it on the net for the age of it, 26 years. Enjoy the footage above of this NHL classic game.

When I first encountered The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee in its original Off-Broadway incarnation, I didn't know what to expect. A musical about a spelling bee that was also a spelling bee?!
I instantly fell in love with the show. I laughed out loud and was moved by the amount of heart in the production, not to mention how impressed I was by the writing and the specific and fully-realized performances of the original cast.
Fast forward to the summer of 2014 when I first entered APAC's theater space when it was not set up for a show. I immediately said, "You know what would be a great show in this space?" Annie Jacobs (APAC's Production Manager) took the words right out of my mouth with the answer: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee!
At the bee, the young characters are faced with uncertainly and anxiety. Through the proceedings, the struggles and dreams of the participants are revealed and explored as they are alternately supported and discouraged by adults. We root for the contestants as they each take an important journey on this, the day of the bee.
And so here we are creating our site-specific set for our production of this well-loved show. Experiencing it anew with our stellar cast and wonderfully game and inventive production staff has been a joy and we have transformed APAC's space once again–this time to look more like what it actually is: a gym!
For this, our final show of APAC's landmark 15th Anniversary Season, I hope everyone can find a little bit of themselves in one of these lovable characters.
Working together as a team, there is definitely an instinctual sense of collaboration between us that fuels each project. Since we both live and work together, the conversation about a design is ongoing. It is often difficult to articulate exactly how an idea comes about – sometimes it's as if we are reading each other's mind: one of us will say one thing, the other may add something to it, and so on.
Usually by the time opening night arrives, it is difficult to distinguish who came up with what. Even a disagreement about a particular idea can sometimes spark a new one and lead us down a completely different path. It is just the magic that happens when any kind of creative minds unite. We believe all artists working in the theatre aim to achieve perfect collaboration with one another, and the two of us like to think our teamwork is no different. We just happen to be twin brothers.
It has been a fun challenge working to transform the unconventional gymnasium space at Good Shepherd United Methodist Church. CAREFULLY TAUGHT contains a number of different locations that move at a cinematic pace as we transition through them. We wanted to create an open space that could allow for all of these scenes to exist. We were inspired by neutral, empty spaces – rooms that felt academic or corporate, but with the pop of a floor lamp could suddenly feel homey and intimate.
Two tables and four chairs can take us everywhere we need to go with the support of lighting, sound and minimal props to shape the rest of the world. We appreciate Astoria Performing Arts Center for sharing Cheryl Davis's exciting play and continuing to champion new works and artists.
I wrote Carefully Taught some years ago, when a director friend learned about a theater with a dark weekend in between productions. I'd already been kicking around the idea – but now there was a space and a deadline, so it was time to go to work. The White and African-American teachers were already clear in my mind, but the trans-racial casting of the daughters sprang from an encounter with a young White woman, who in an attempt to jovially bond with me, came up to me and said "Yo yo, Cheryl!" and threw her arms into a rapper pose. I was surprised, and after that noted that there were a number of "wankstas" out there. Once the idea for "Lot" came to me, "Valerie" flowed from my own experiences growing up when I was occasionally accused of "sounding White", or better yet, "acting White." After that, Cindy/Cie was inspired by a number of Asian-American newscasters, and Michael/Senator just made perfect sense as two sides of an opposing coin. When the role of the media started to grow in the script, the Rev. Mornow just seemed to follow naturally (and I'll admit, that bit of casting tickles me quite a lot.)
I set the play aside and had pretty much forgotten about it until Dev Bondarin became the Artistic Director of APAC and asked if I had anything that she could include in her new reading series. I dug Carefully Taught out, and looked at the world around me. A world where claims of "reverse discrimination" are still being made, where racial tension (especially in schools) has only heightened. The transracial casting seems even more apropos now that accusations of "cultural appropriation" are common, and you probably saw some of that this past Halloween, where "Indians" and "Mexicans" merrily partied with each other. (And did you see the picture of the young White boy dressed as Malcolm X that went viral?) Turn on your radios and listen to Iggy Azalea and Macklemore – and then watch the videos and see the pale faces that go with their raps. Watch Beyonce swinging her long blonde tresses, and just try and get a ticket to the hottest ticket on Broadway, which features African-American, Latino, and other actors of color rapping America's Founding Fathers. This is the world of Carefully Taught. We hope you enjoy it – because it's the one you already live in.]]>

Join us, come and waste an hour or two…
These lyrics from Pippin's "Magic to Do" served as a fitting opening to my first Summer Stars showcase back in the summer of 2004; they beckoned me to what would become a lifelong passion for the performing arts. It was the program's sophomore year, and my first formal introduction to the wonderful world of musical theatre. I was thrilled by the opportunity to combine my interest in singing and acting, and by the chance to share my love of the stage with kids who were just like me. My first year of theatre camp introduced me to songs from Oliver!, Fanny, and Ruthless, and the next three years featured numbers from Anything Goes, Newsies, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Grease, and so many more classics. Summer Stars kick started my dramatic education, and I haven't looked back since. Fast forward eleven years, and I'm now famous among my friends for an encyclopedic knowledge of all things theatrical and for an unending enthusiasm for live theatre. I'm a thespian through and through, and Summer Stars is where I got the bug.
Eight years after my final curtain call the summer before I started high school, I'm back with APAC, except now I've more than outgrown my role of a performer in Summer Stars. As a recent college graduate, I'm now an apprentice, assisting our Program Coordinator Katie in running my beloved theatre camp. It's surreal returning on the other side of the table, since I remember so crisply what it was like learning new music, running lines ad nauseam, and frantically scrambling to review choreography (I never was a dancer, but you bet I tried my hardest!). But it's also exciting, and in a different way than it was for me a decade ago. I know what life after Summer Stars is like, and I know that once you get a taste for musical theatre, you can't live without it. The first day of camp, I looked at our thirty-two students, and I smiled. Some of them might not know it yet, but they're on the verge of discovering one of their greatest joys in life. Not everyone is going to turn into the obsessive theatre kid I eventually grew up into, but for the handful that do, I am honored to witness and facilitate the beginning of their journey.
"Magic to Do" will always hold a special place in my heart, and not only because Stephen Schwartz writes incredibly catchy music. It will always remind me of my first show with Summer Stars, when I first explored my interest in theatre, where I first got to experience the rush of live performance that I've chased ever since. To me, we really did have magic to do on that stage. Now, returning to APAC as an adult, I get to help a new generation realize their passion for the performing arts. And that's nothing short of magical.]]>
The 2014-2015 theater season—my first at APAC—has been one for the record books for me.
When it began, I was preparing to direct Cody Daigle-Orians's beautiful play In The Bones. Having brought the play to former Artistic Director Tom Wojtunik, I was thrilled when I was contacted about directing it as the fall play at APAC. A longtime APAC audience member and fan, I was excited at the prospect of getting to work with the company for the first time.
Little did I know that two weeks into the rehearsal process I was going to be offered the job of Artistic Director!
The months that followed brought strength and growth to our community of artists, and, personally, great creative fulfillment. From working with the wonderful artists on In The Bones, to meeting APAC audiences at performances as the new Artistic Director, to curating our Midwinter Reading Series, to working with APAC alumni artists on our gala, to experiencing our community programs, and to capping off the season by directing George Furth & Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along, it was a meaningful and busy time.
I will never forget the awed look on the students' faces at Playmaking when their plays were performed or the excitement in the air on the morning of the Senior Stars performance. The moment before the first preview performance of Merrily We Roll Along when the company gathered excitedly, the last performance of In The Bones when we all said goodbye, and the Saturday morning when APAC alumni artists roused themselves early to rehearse music for the gala are moments that I will remember and cherish.
I am honored to work with this organization as we look towards our future, and I am grateful to the Board, staff, and community for how far we have come this year. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of it all!
Have a restful summer, and see you for APAC's 15th Anniversary Season!
-Dev Bondarin]]>
Senior Stars has been an extraordinary experience! The seniors are each a bundle of surprises, humor, sparkle and wit! 14 individual needs and goals coming together to create a musical revue; sounds crazy, no? But in just five short weeks together, my musical director, James Higgins, and I mind melded with each Senior on what he or she wanted to sing, their thoughts on the shape of the show and the theme and, this Saturday, we presented a full-blown production of Broadway's Golden Age Hits!
Marion, my Ethel Merman, Joan, my Ann Miller, Stan, my Howard Keel, the dulcet tones of Edna, Margaret, Judy and Jimmy, the comedic timing of Patty, Helen and Julie, the sister act of Kathy and Arline, the sincerity and power of Francie and Flavia, all combine to serve up a nostalgic trip via the best music ever written!
I'm honored to be putting it together with such dedicated and luminescent souls! So often creating new theater is quite pressure filled and the stakes are super high. This experience continues to be a breath of fresh air into why I live my life among the throng of Ol' Broadway and New, creating new works and treasuring and learning from the luminaries that came before! Let's Go, On with the Show…]]>
It started out with a director's chair. During one of our last rehearsals, I was struck with the specific memory of working on a production of Merrily We Roll Along my senior year of college and how one of my responsibilities, as assistant stage manager, was moving a director's chair on stage in the first scene change. It felt right that in this present moment, while feeling the excited anxiety of taking a show that means so much to me and putting it on stage with production elements after 4 weeks of intense rehearsal, I was also feeling nostalgic for a past time when my college friends and I were putting on a show and just starting out.
This dual sense of present emotion and the memory of a simpler time is one that has been with me throughout the entire process of working on Merrily We Roll Along at APAC, and this duality is a key part of the show's storytelling. Told in reverse chronological order, the structure allows us to track the lives of the characters as they go from tightly wound (to quote one of the actors) and weighted down to lighter and more optimistic. Taking the journey with this show will lead us to think about the decisions, missteps, and chance encounters that make up our lives. This unique story, coupled with a fantastic score, is what makes Merrily We Roll Along one of my favorite musicals. This show means a great deal to me and was my first choice to produce as my first musical at APAC as Artistic Director. And it has been a truly extraordinary experience.
My relationship with Merrily began with moving a director's chair and it has been a privilege to get to be in the director's chair for this production working with this talented cast and team.
My hope is that a moment or two in the story of these old friends resonates with members of the audience about life, time, past and present as we all explore together how we got to be here. And I hope you will join us–we play through May 23rd.]]>
When Dev [Bondarin, Merrily's director] asked me to work with her again on Merrily We Roll Along, my first question was: "Are we doing it period, or do you want the design based on the original production?" During previews for the original 1981 Broadway production, the audience was confused by who was who as the story ran in reverse, so they famously scrapped all of its period costumes for sweatshirts with the character's names or descriptions on them. I was thrilled that Dev confirmed the period look [since the span of 1957-1976 is what is described in the current licensed version of the script], and immediately started a research and inspiration board on Pinterest.
Whenever I start a new project as a costume designer, the first thing I do after reading the script is start my Pinterest board for the show. Some images turn into specific costumes or characters, and others help me convey the mood or style I'm going for to my collaborators. Since this show covers such a broad span of time, and each scene is set in a very specific year, my research also shows me the little changes that happen in fashion that I can use to help show the audience the passage of time – how long were skirts, how wide were lapels, what colors were popular, and so on. Also, how much does each character care about current fashion? Gussie is always dressed in the most current and designer styles, whereas Mary is more interested in clothing suiting her tastes and budget and being comfortable, even if it's unfashionable. In one scene, at a fancy party, Gussie is in a sexy, fashionable cocktail dress, while Mary is wearing a dress that is 10 years out of style that she says she borrowed from her upstairs neighbor.
I love vintage clothing, and it was so much fun to look for the right pieces for the characters and the actors playing them over the 20 years that the story covers. I've had a wonderful time searching through the city's thrift and vintage stores looking for our costumes for this show, as well as having friends at New York Theater Workshop and Prospect Theater Company generously allowing us to borrow costumes from their stocks. I've gotten to use the great sweaters from the 1950s, cocktail and formal dresses from the 1960s, and Quiana shirts with long collar points from the 1970s. I was also lucky enough to find some good modern pieces with period details to fill in.
I've had very good shopping karma. One example: I found a research photo of a beautiful early 1960s couture evening gown, cream with gold beading, that conveyed exactly the tone and style that I wanted for Gussie, our Broadway star, in the opening of Act II, but it was WAY out of my price range. Several weeks later, before the show was cast, I was wandering through a thrift store and found a vintage 1960s evening dress, cream with gold beading, in excellent condition, for $15. I bought the dress, hoping it would fit whoever we found, and it looks amazing on our Gussie, LilyAnn Carlson!
Sometimes, however, what you find leads you in a different direction than your original idea. For another scene, set in 1976 in Hollywood, I imagined Gussie in a Pucci print butterfly dress or caftan. Then Annie Jacobs, our Production Manager, brought in some 1970s clothing that her mother was getting rid of, including a psychedelic pink and orange pantsuit that had exactly the right vibe for the scene. The fabric was similar to what I had envisioned, but the shape was totally different. As soon as LilyAnn tried it on, I knew we'd found her costume for that scene.
If you're interested in seeing my research and inspiration, the Pinterest board is here. It's fun for me to look back now that all of the costumes have been fit on the actors and we're nearly to dress rehearsals at where I started, and how the ideas developed through time and collaboration. I hope you have as much fun seeing the show as I had costuming it!]]>
I'm not going to bore anyone with a long story of what made me initially fall in love with the music of Stephen Sondheim. The short version takes place in the mid-80s, involves my oldest sister, Dawn, the volume on her stereo, and an LP of The Broadway Album by Barbra Streisand. What I would later call, "My gateway drug."
Merrily We Roll Along is the fifth Sondheim show in which I have been fortunate enough to be cast. I can only explain the wide emotional spectrum working on this type of material brings, and offer whatever advice I'm able, by blatantly stealing quotes from other people and taking them wildly out of context.
"(It's) not for sissies." Bette Davis was talking about getting older, but it's extraordinarily apt for sitting down with your script and pouring over the words, (and words, and words), that make up these stories. It's a wrestling match of sorts and it's going to take all your focus and stamina to beat the score into submission. All the while making it look effortless. Add on the extra layer in Merrily of the action going in reverse and you might get pinned under the weight of it all. Sure, it's called a "play," but it's hard work. If, as an actor, you don't love it, may I interest you in the wonderful world of accounting?
"Take your bottom lip and pull it over your head." This is how Carol Burnett famously described the pain of childbirth. Oddly enough, it can also be a great warm-up for your face muscles when you're attempting one of those tricky Sondheim patter songs. Incidentally, Nicholas Park does the patter honors in our production, and his "Franklin Shepherd, Inc." is a joy to behold.
"Dear Lord, please change the laws of the universe for my convenience." An old Emo Phillips joke he would use to segue into his closing material. It puts me in mind, though, of the art of collaboration. For instance, there is a huge section in Act II called "The Blob." It's a high class party scene and most everyone in the cast is involved. It took us roughly a week to stage. The role I play in Act I, Jerome, doesn't logically fit in to this scene, so Dev, our fearless director, allowed me to play with a Truman Capote-type character. I'm short, I'm fuller in the middle, he would be at a party like this, it fits. Then I went in for a costume fitting and our costumer mentioned, "I was wondering if you might consider playing a beatnik instead. I found this gorgeous vintage sweater and I'd love to use it in this show." I replied, "I just changed my character." Immediately I started forming an idea of a beat poet who has several books published, which everybody hates but agrees are important, because culture. I played with a stance not unlike Billy Crystal's impersonation of Sammy Davis, Jr. All of this came from the awesome suggestion of the costumer, Jen. And if Dev says that it isn't working, I'll happily go back to the Capote idea. Or a new idea. I just like being in an environment where ideas can be offered by anyone and will be judged on their merit. Also working with material that is at once general enough to allow play like this, but specific enough that the story still works is an amazing gift, and I'd be a fool not to take advantage.
"(You ran) the gamut of human emotions from A to B." This gibe, attributed to Dorothy Parker in reference to Katharine Hepburn, is more of a warning. Think of a Sondheim song like The Chicken Joke. "Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side." You could tell it like that and get some laughs. But imagine it like this. "Why did the chicken cross the road? Because she was living in a poultry farm where the conditions were awful, cages stacked on top of each other, no room to move around. Then one day, as a her eggs were being collected, she used the super-chicken leg strength she gained after having been injected with all those steroids to ironically kick the farmer in his face, knocking him out cold and letting her escape. Eventually, she made it across the road to the free-range chicken farm where she lived out her days." A more thorough story will enrich the joke, (subjectively), just as it will a Sondheim song, taking it from an "A to B" to an "A to Z." Bonus lesson, musical theatre fans can be catty. Give them no reason to be.
My worry after looking over what I wrote is that anyone reading this that is unfamiliar with the show may think to themselves, "I don't like logic puzzles, so maybe this show isn't for me." Oh, goodness, don't think that! And don't deny yourself treats like Ally Bonino's hilarious and tragic Mary Flynn, the above mentioned brilliance of Nicholas Park as Charles Kringas, and Jack Mosbacher's Frank Shepard who you root for, even as you see him make all the wrong decisions. They do the heavy lifting, and it's glorious. This is the type of show the mid-80s version of me would have been proud to know he'd eventually get to be part of.]]>
The first day of Playmaking is always a special day! We ask the kids why they think people write plays. This time around, answers we got: to entertain people, to express yourself, to find strengths and weaknesses, to have fun, to make people laugh and, sometimes, to make money. We ask what we use when we write a play: imagination, knowledge, experience, feelings, and we let them know to use the 5 senses.
After a few warm-up games, the kids choose an animal they would like to spend time
with for the weeks to come. They embody the animal and go through a typical day:
waking up, searching for food, enemy coming, rainstorm, sun coming out, back to sleep. They write their first character profile which includes the animal's greatest fear and wish.
Josefa created Hunter, an 18 year old wolf, whose wish is to explore the outside habitat, fear is losing his family, and his habitat a dark and moist cave where a droplet of water can be heard, that smells damp. Johnny invented a killer whale named Jeff who wants to fly and who fears being lost at sea.
After the students write their character profiles, we interview them, and that is their first experience of becoming their character in front of us as the audience. They also create characters of inanimate objects, something from nature, and finally human beings. Kelly created Ashton, a guitar who wants to be moved all around the world and an ocean wave named Emily who wants to become a wave of 7 feet and who is afraid of pollution.
They write a story that takes place between the animal and inanimate object who each have their want and get into a conflict with each other, take action and change. This is a way to understand the basics of playwriting. And the listeners are asked to say what has moved them or popped out about each other's work.
This group has loved to write; Salwa wrote a 4 page story about Teal, a heart chain
necklace, and a cat named Boca who had both been lost and forgotten. We have 7 new plays. 3 of the writers have been in Playmaking before, Nicole and Jeremy are writing their second plays and Joel his third!
We start with warm-up theatre games every day and when the time comes for them
to start their plays, they are ready! When this group is writing, you can barely hear
breathing in the room, just the sound of the pencils on the paper as they create their
plays. This group has not been stuck, has not had writer's block and are eager to share their work at the end of every writing day. Gina Femia, the other playmaking teacher, and I have loved reading their work out loud. And this lovely group of young people is enthusiastic and supportive about each other's work.
See what happens between Hunter the wolf and Claire, a young woman on a secret
mission! Emily the wave and Ashton the guitar have an adventure of their own; Emma, who wants her own restaurant meets up with Boca the cat who keeps getting
abandoned by its owners; and Bradley, a soldier on a mission meets Jeff, the killer
whale who may or may not help him.
You won't find any more original, funny or touching plays in New York City and these
are free! Appropriate for all ages. See you on Monday, March 30, at IS 10 at 6:00 pm in the auditorium.

If you have ever lost someone or know someone who has, then you know how treacherous it can be to experience loss and the grief it brings. Questions abound. What happens to us after we die? What's the right thing to say to a person who has lost someone? Is it possible to continue to live and enjoy life again after the death of a loved one? How do you work through your grief -- and is this even possible? What good can come from so much suffering? Having grappled with these questions in their own lives and the lives of others, the authors have written Life After Loss as a tribute and a guidebook for those of us seeking comfort and answers. Raymond Moody and Dianne Arcangel have dedicated decades of research and work in the field and have seen how loss and grief have shaped individual lives -- both for the better and the worse.
In this book will you learn:
- How the stress of grief affects you emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally, and how you can transform that stress into healing.
- What the common emotions of grief are and how to work through them.
- How basic factors like family dynamics, gender and religion shape how you deal with loss.
- How to give and receive sympathy appropriately.
- How to tell the difference between functional and dysfunctional grief by recognizing the common characteristics of each.
- How to adjust to loss with the aid of specific techniques and psychological models.
- How loss can lead to personal transcendence.
- How loss has enriched and blessed the lives of survivors: Some people report having stronger relationships, a new appreciation for life, and a deeper spiritual life as a result.
- How the study of near death experiences has shaped the way we view consciousness and the question of life after death.

May to become the star?
March 5th, 2006, 11:28 AM
I heard rumer's that May is going to take Ash's place has the star of PoKeMoN, you know the leading role...
~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~
March 5th, 2006, 11:40 AM
Yeah probably after Ash gets all of his battle frontier Symbols. They will all proabably travel through Kanto and do all of the Contest and thats it.
~Dark Venusaur
March 5th, 2006, 11:43 AM
May has been doing contests while Ash has been gathering his symbols.
I doubt May will become the star.
Crystal Clair
March 5th, 2006, 12:06 PM
I dont think so
It's gonna be Ash, Pikachu and Team Rocket. That hasn't changed, and it probably wont because if it could've, it wouldv'e.
That's what the hosos are for
Miss Reyna
March 5th, 2006, 12:19 PM
May becoming the main star? She is already a star but never will be the main. May will never be the main focus of the show. She had her shine during the contestes and that is it. The show has been revoling around Ash gathering gym badges or some battle related thing. They not going to make a complete direction change after 9 or so years of battling. It makes no sense. May is there as a side thing with her contests.
Sweet May
March 5th, 2006, 12:20 PM
Well, Haruka is already a star in the show. She's the main character like Satoshi and it will be impossible for both of them to come off the show. Haruka's job is like Satoshi's. To get ribbons and compete like Satoshi gets badges and competes. Simple I think. Oo;
Miss Reyna
March 5th, 2006, 12:27 PM
That is true. She shines as mush as Ash when she is in her battles but I don't think we be seeing May go solo and the camera is following her anytime soon. Then leaving Ash like dust in the wind like Misty and Tracy.
March 5th, 2006, 12:34 PM
May becoming the star? No.
Since the beginning, Ash has been the star, that's just how it is. Sure, there have been other stars that travel with Ash, but no one else is ever gonna be the MAIN star, besides our little friend. Where exactly did you hear this information? O.o
March 5th, 2006, 1:06 PM
just rumer's that some body must have started some were... I guest it not really important.....
March 5th, 2006, 9:12 PM
Wishfull thinking I say ^^. But I wish it too, or maybe Drew as the main..., MAy is one of my favorite characters
March 6th, 2006, 5:08 AM
I have wishfull thinking that May & Ash well become girlfreind and boyfreind. that May does not ever leave the show....even if they are no PoKeMoN contest's in the next region.After the Kanto Battle Frontier season. They could easly make make May & Ash have a long distance realationship..by giving them both new PoKeNavigator with video phone's...You know those map's they have with the PokeDex...
And it also whould a new plot line, whill Ash is getting gym bage's in one region , May is getting contest ribbon's in another, they could easy swich back and forth between them in the episode's...
March 6th, 2006, 9:13 AM
Doubtful at best. I didn't like May at first, but she's growing on me. I'm glad she's improved with her pokemon and is getting some screetime.

San Andreas Highway System
this wiki
|For the highway system in Grand Theft Auto V see Freeway in GTA V or Interstate System in GTA V.
The San Andreas Highway System is an extensive network of highways and routes in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the first game in the series to have major highways. The system becomes particularly relevant in San Andreas, being a large setting with multiple cities. The system was constructed in such a way that the highways are nearly continuous, and the system extends to every county and city in San Andreas.
The San Andreas highway system encompasses five major highways, four minor highways, and four other routes. The five major highways include the Julius Thruway, Los Santos Freeway, San Fierro Highway, San Fierro Bypass and Las Venturas Highway. The minor highways include the East Beach Freeway Extension, Santa Maria Freeway Extension and Harry Gold Parkway.
Highways included in the system
Major Highways
Los Santos Freeway (Interstate 25)
The Los Santos Freeway is the longest highway in San Andreas and is modeled after Interstate 15. It begins at the Montgomery Intersection in Red County, and travels south through the Mulholland Intersection, Downtown, and then the airport. Near the airport, for a short time, the median has two guard rails on each side keeping traffic to their own side, this is due to a tunnel upon which the freeway must encounter. The expressway ends briefly in Ocean Docks and becomes a major road through East Beach. Then, after clearing the docks and a few residential home (by way of traffic lights) it becomes a freeway again, on the other side of Red County. When it nears Las Venturas, it turns and heads west towards its starting point, while staying in Red County the second time around, which makes it a looped highway.

- Road end: Julius Thruway North
San Fierro Highway (Interstate 27)
The San Fierro Highway starts at an intersection on the Mulholland Drive in northern Rodeo, and immediately enters a tunnel passing underneath Richman. After that it passes the Flint Intersection, however this is only a partial intersection, and thus, only eastbound traffic can use it to get to Red County. The highway then turns south, going through the eastern sections of Back O' Beyond. It follows the east coast of Back O' Beyond and south edge of Flint County and Whetstone, passing a 24/7, gas station and Angel Pine, where it has two intersections servicing Mount Chiliad and the town. It then enters two short tunnels underneath Mount Chiliad and after the Whetstone Bridge it enters the southwest section of San Fierro. The expressway ends at an intersection servicing Missionary Hill to become a major road through San Fierro. The highway turns east towards the Easter Bay International Airport and has an exit to the stadium and Doherty. It finally ends at the intersection servicing the San Fierro Bypass. It is modeled after California State Route 1. There are 2 routes to San Fierro or Los Santos.

Julius Thruway (Interstate 226)
The Julius Thruway is the freeway encircling Las Venturas. Modeled after Interstate 215 and Interstate 515 in Las Vegas, it is composed of four main elements, named accoring to their general placement in the city: in the north, east, west, and south, like a beltway. It is a four-lane recessed roadway with overpass exits at relatively evenly spaced intervals. It connects to the main highway servicing the southern ends of Tierra Robada and Bone County, to the highway servicing northwestern Las Venturas and Bone County, and to the major highway connecting Las Venturas with Los Santos. Apart from the south section, the entire freeway is an expressway. The nature of the ring-road is such that, if the player is to travel by road alone, it is impossible to enter Las Venturas without traveling on it.
- Northeast exit: Bone County
- West exit: Whitewood Estates (continues Whitewood Estates and Las Venturas Airport)
- Southwest exit: Blackfield Intersection (continues Las Venturas Highway)
- South exit 1: Randolph Industrial Estate (continues Montgomery Intersection and Harry Gold Prkwy)

Las Venturas Highway (Interstate 26)
This highway connects Las Venturas with San Fierro, based off US 95, US 395 and Interstate 80. It starts at the Blackfield Intersection and travels on the southern tip of Bone County and Tierra Robada, through Bayside and on the Gant Bridge, where it terminates in San Fierro at the turnpike. While most of the exits on the Las Venturas highway serve Bone County, Tierra Robada and Red County, there is one exit that leads to the San Fierro via the San Fierro Bypass, and another exit that serves Bayside. It is a four lane highway (two lanes for each direction) with a wide median in Bone County with concrete barriers in Las Venturas, Tierra Robada and in Bayside. All stretches of freeway go at top speed except for the stretch from Exit 4 to 7. The highway, like other countryside highways, lacks proper illumination from lampposts, with an exception at a segment in Las Venturas, Bayside and the Gant Bridge.

The San Fierro Bypass runs from Whetstone to Tierra Robada, it is based off US 101, Interstate 280 and Interstate 80. It runs through the city of San Fierro, beginning in Foster Valley, traveling past the Easter Bay Airport, stadium, Doherty, and downtown San Fierro, before terminating at the Robada Intersection in southern Tierra Robada. Despite primarily being a link between Whetstone and Tierra Robada, there are numerous exits on the highway serving various areas in San Fierro, to ensure that the city has access to more efficient transport. The highway is a four lane highway, with two lanes for each direction. It is mostly an elevated road except for the exit in Foster Valley, and is divided by cement divider. The northern part of the road is a suspension bridge which connects San Fierro to Tierra Robada. Unlike most other highways, traffic on the San Fierro Bypass is slow, except for the suspension bridge section.
- Road begin: Foster Valley
- Exit 1: Easter Bay Airport
- Exit 2: Foster Valley Interchange
- Exit 3: Telegraph Hill Interchange (continues San Fierro Highway)
- Exit 4: Easter Basin
- Exit 5: Doherty
- Bridge: Garver Bridge
- Road end: Robada Intersection

Minor Highways
Harry Gold Parkway
The Harry Gold Parkway is a major road part in Las Venturas, San Andreas and is modeled after Interstate 15. The road bisects the city into eastern and western portions, and connects Julius Thruway North with Julius Thruway South. The Harry Gold Parkway is an extension of the Los Santos Freeway connecting Las Venturas with Los Santos, and terminates at The Mako Span. It services Las Venturas Airport, the Redsands West and Redsands East districts, and is only minutes west of The Strip.
- Road begin: Montgomery Intersection
- Bridge: The Mako Span
- Exit 1: Julius Thruway South
- Exit 2: Airport (continues Airport and Redsands West)
- Exit 3: Julius Thruway North (one way to Pilson Intersection)
East Beach Freeway Extension (Interstate 125)
The East Beach Freeway Extension begins at an interchange with the Los Santos Freeway near Downtown Los Santos. It is modeled after Interstate 5 and Interstate 10 in Los Angeles. After meeting the Los Santos Freeway, the East Beach Freeway Extension enters a depressed road cut and travels below street level where it goes until it reaches Grove Street. In between these two places, the highway has three partial exits and it also crosses under the tracks of the Brown Streak Railroad. At Grove Street, the highway raises slightly to cross over an open drainage system before heading back down to meet two two-lane roads in the neighborhood of East Beach.
- Road begin: Downtown Interchange
- Exit 1 (north): Commerce (continues Commerce and Glen Park)
- Underpass: Glen Park-El Corona Bridge
- Exit 1 (southwest): El Corona
- Exit 1 (southeast): Idlewood

- Road end: Saints Boulevard, East Beach
- Continues: Los Santos Freeway
Santa Maria Freeway Extension (Interstate 425W)
The Santa Maria Freeway Extension is a four-lane highway extension of the Los Santos Freeway. It is mainly based off California State Route 1. It begins at the Airport Interchange and travels northwest before terminating at a junction at Verona Beach, where it becomes the Santa Maria Drive, which travels through Rodeo before terminating at the Flint Intersection, connecting to the San Fierro Highway. The road travels through a short tunnel underneath the hills just south of the junction. There is a small median dividing the road in half, which is lined up by lampposts for illumination at night.
- Road begin: Airport Interchange (Terminal 2)
- Tunnel: Verdant Bluffs Tunnel
- Exit 1: Conference Center (continues Unity Station, Downtown, and East LS)
- Exit 2: Verona Beach
- Exit 3: Rodeo

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Westin Cleveland Downtown
There were cigarette burns as well as water marks all over the common area carpets as well as the guest rooms. The parking structure is extremely old, unsafe, unsecured, and is fallen apart, plus it is extremely hard to manuever through.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews The Westin Cleveland Downtown
So So...
Clean & nice room. In the heart of a very empty downtown. Across a very pathetic empty mall in which the only vendors were a few eateries in the food court + an Ann Taylor! Do not go to the hotel's restaurant (forgot the name but there's only 1). Bad service and worst Caesar Salad I've ever had. Next to Lake Erie though.
For the price, it was perfect. Close to the Convention Center and the warehouse district! Could walk anywhere. Staff was pleasant, the gentleman helping me with check-in was wonderful. There was an issue with parking but they resolved it promply. The rooms were clean and room service was prompt... would stay again.
Great nfl weekend
Easy check in on Saturday. I was in town to watch the Browns-Eagles game and the location could not have been better both for the game and the nightlife. The room was tastefully decorated, clean, and comfortable, and the staff was very pleasant and accomodating. I would definitely stay here again. I can't wait to "go back to Cleveland!"
Dissapointing Hotel Stay
I am a part of the Sheraton Rewards program and assumed that just like most Sheratons I stay at for work or for vacations, I would get at least a pretty good room and a decent deal.
I went to the Centre Hotel for a conference and was hugely dissapointed in the quality of the rooms. In the bathrooms, the fixtures for the sink and the bathtub were coming off or out of the walls and for a sweet sleeper bed I was not very impressed. The elevators were old and multiple people I knew (including myself) routinely got stuck in the elevators. I ended up switching hotels midway through my stay and was much happier at the Hyatt in downtown Cleveland.
The only good thing I can say about the Sheraton was that the service was pretty good, but nothing could make up for the bad condition of the hotel.
Unprofessional staf; varying quality rooms
Being a Starwood Platinum member, I requested a corner room, facing the lake on a higher floor. Instead I was offered an alongated room, that looked horrible. This was the third time I stayed at the hotel, and I knew that some rooms are nicer. I requested another room at the reception, and as I was being served, the phone rang, so that front desk person started answering the phones while I waited. In the end I was offered a suite, however, no help for my suitcases, or any assitance with the directions. Stay away, better deals and superior service at Ritz Carlton and Rennaisance can be found.
Nice room and location
Gotta great rate through hotwire for only $42.00. The room was regulary about $139.00. The room itself was very nice.Very spacious with 2 huge beds that were some of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Super clean, tons of cable channels, and a large bathroom.Check in was a breeze and all hotel personnel were very courteous.The location is right smack downtown close to everything and parking is only 15 bucks a day. The hotel room service was super high though with just average quality. They mixed up 2 breakfast orders and it tasted averaged at best. The bill would,ve come to $37.00 but because of the mix up they only charged us for only 1 order. I was in Cleveland for just 1 day to see the Rock and Roll Hall of fame which is a must visit. I highly recommend this hotel but not at the regular $139.00. Get it through Hotwire. Want a secret! If you go to the Hall of Fame on Wed., Its only 5 bucks after 6pm compared to 20 bucks beforehand.
Loved the Sheraton, loved the city
We stayed at the Sheraton Cleveland City Centre over the Fourth of July weekend. What a great time! I had read several reviews of this hotel and some were less than favorable. I should know by now that I shouldn't rely on bad reviews from websites. I should wait to form my own opinion.
We arrived in Cleveland around 12:30 on Friday afternoon, went to see if we could check into our room early, and found the lobby absolutely packed with foreign tourists checking in for a conference. I thought we'd have to wait forever for the lines to go down but were pleasantly surprised at how efficient and friendly the staff was to all of us. Even though several of the guests spoke limited English, no communication problems were evident. When we reached the desk, I asked for an upper floor with a nice view of the lake. My request was met even though the woman who was checking us in knew we had booked the room through a travel auction site and had paid a fraction of the normal price for it.
The room was very clean and neat and the bed was incredible. I left a note for the housekeeping staff, asking for an extra packet of coffee and was given plenty of extra coffee and condiments.
When we got the itemized statement on the morning of our check out, there was an incorrect charge for room service. I went to the front desk, explained the problem and after I was politely asked a few questions, the charge was taken off the bill. We were definitely pleased with the hotel and the staff and have booked again in September.
We love Cleveland and can barely wait to get back there.
Wonderful stay..very comfortable!
My husband and I stayed at the Sheraton downtown for a "romantic weekend away from the kids". It was so nice! I had booked online and got a GREAT RATE!!! From the first time I spoke to the hotel until the time we left they were very professional and courteous....(not something you always find here in cleveland.)
When we checked in it was very quick and the front desk staff was friendly and helpfull. When we got up to our room, it was nice but had an unappealing odor (like the toilet needed cleaned) so we went down and expressed our concern and wa immediately given another room. This room was bigger and had no problems what so ever.
I am a very "picky" traveler and cleanliness is of upmost importance to me. I had absolutely no complaints about our room. It was very clean and modern. The rest of the restaurant was acceptable although the main hallways could use a little better cleaning (fingerprints and carpet stains).
The best part of the whole stay is THE BEDS!!! OMG I cannot express to you enough how comfortable the beds are. You simply don't want to get out of them! I will prefer Sheratons from now on simply for that reason alone.
We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant Pimento's and have to admit that it was less than appetizing. My husband had pancakes that were HUGE in order but the taste was rather bland. I had scrambled eggs with hashbrowns and bacon. The eggs tasted fake and the hashbrowns were inedible. The food seemed like reheated frozen food. So in that respect I would suggest going elsewhere for breakfast at least.
There is so much to do here in Cleveland. If you come I definitely suggest you stay at the City Centre!
Good sized rooms, comfortable beds, good location
Upon check-in I asked for a high floor with a view of Lake Erie--they said room wasn't ready yet, but they blocked it for me. When I returned and was given my room I was a little disappointed with the view--some buildings were partially blocking view (although the room itself was fine). I returned to front desk and they kindly gave me a room with a better view (a club level room with updated furniture--very nice). Room was a little larger than most hotel rooms, was nicely decorated, and had a very comfortable bed (pillow-top, very thick down comforter, both feather and synthetic pillows), and had a leather-like chair and ottoman. Room service was good and reasonably priced. Location is good--it's downtown, but is a few blocks away from the area where creepy people wander about at night and weekends. It's also an easy walk to the recommended Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Secret Service people were in hotel getting ready for a fund raising event in a few days for President Bush reelection. I guess if it's good enough for the President, it should be good for most of us peons too.
Nice place
it was a nice place. i had a view of lake erie, the housekeeping staff spoke english

A Passion for the Creative that Transcends Age
For me this store is about sharing my passion, love and design with anyone that is interested.
Please come in and look around. Hopefully something catches your eye and inspires you. I do lots of custom jewellery work either variations of the items you see in my shop or unique original requests.
I do custom stitching as well, any pattern your heart desires can be done. Timing and costs are on a per project basis.
When I started making Kumihimo bracelets in 2010. For me they were an absolute blessing. Having been plagued with metal allergies my whole life I don't have any piercings (not even ears) as they are rejected every time. I have trouble with chains and other jewelry that is metal.
Fiber bracelets were a way to make pretty jewelry that I could wear! Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese art that was once used to make Samurai armor. So it's tough & durable as well as original!
I learned to stitch when I was 12. And it was my first love. At 16 I would stitch late at night in my room (as it wasn't cool to stitch)! I won a 3rd place ribbon for stitching at a craft fair at 27, joined a local stitching guild and made friends with other avid (albeit older) stitchers. Some of those ladies are the best friends I have today!
We all have a combined passion for creating things and age doesn't get in the way of loving someone's work, wanting a new pattern, coaxing each other to try the new fibre, or sharing our lives together. A common passion truly transcends age, race, gender and all those things that make each of us different, which is also what makes Etsy such a unique community!
When people weren't busy giving me weird looks for being a bit eccentric they were often commenting on my work. When I started this shop I was an Art Director for a magazine and as I was hating that career, I realized I needed something new. Etsy provided me with the perfect start off outlet to be creative on my own terms; and I've never left! Today I work administrative work full-time during weekdays (yep it's as boring as it sounds) and spend my free time using all my creative ideas for Epic Stitching.
Thank you for your visiting Epic Stitching & Handmade Design. I appreciate every sale, favorite and view that I receive. It makes me smile every day.

Custom and personalised orders
Jewellery Custom Orders:
I do custom orders on everything. Especially Kumihimo bracelets, necklaces and other beaded (or non-beaded) jewellery orders.

A 50% non-refundable payment is required on all custom cross stitch orders. Custom listing will be posted for you, please message me for more details.
Sizing details
Recommended sizing is the exact size of your wrist as the bracelet slipknots will create some breathing space.
To find out the size of your wrist use a fabric ruler (flexible) or take a piece of string, headphone cords, etc. and wrap around your wrist. Note the start and end, then place next to a standard ruler to measure the size of your wrist.
Keep in mind the slipknots on Kumihimo bracelets allow for some flexibility in making the bracelets larger than ordered but not smaller. Some fibers also stretch so it is recommended to go with the smaller of two sizes if you are unsure.
Want a specific size? Just note in the comments of your order the exact size you want the bracelet (ie: 7.25").
Care instructions
Most bracelets can get wet and be washed. .
Most items indicate any specific care instructions. If you're unsure please message me for specific information. All bracelet fibers are tested extensively before being sold.
Merino and silk bracelets are not recommended in the water as they stretch and fade quicker than others.
All hemp and cotton bracelets are very safe in the ocean, pool or shower. They can be worn all day, every day if you desire.
Do not wash stitching unless directed to by me. All stitching (without beads) can be ironed with a towel over top for protection. Ornaments will not need to be washed or ironed as they are finished and ready for display. Instructions will be provided with stitching.
Gift wrapping and packaging
All jewellery comes packaged in a bubble envelope for protection. The items will be inside an organza bag for safe keeping. Organza bags also give the jewellery a nice finished look when gifted.
If you'd like a card, note or anything added to the package please let me know. Many different cards or notes can be provided.
For the extra special touch ask me about having something typed on my authentic 1940's typewriter!
Stitching items will be protected with firm boards for flatness. Information will be given about shipping for each individual items unique situation.
Order and Shipping Timing
Almost all jewellery is made to order to keep items clean and personalized. Therefore lead time prior to shipping is anywhere between 10-14 days. If it will extend longer I will let you know directly. If you need the item by a certain date please advise upon ordering what your timeframe is.
Please note I live in Canada.
Inside Canada usually 7-10 days. To the US usually 10-14 days. To Europe & Australia usually 14-21 days.
Elsewhere worldwide usually 21-30 days.
I cannot control the mail. All shipping is UNTRACKED unless you upgrade. Default shipping is untracked to keep shipping costs reasonable. If your item does not arrive please let me know; however, please ensure you have waited the appropriate time prior to contact.

Skip to comments.Andrea Mitchell is Stuck on Stupid (Compares Gov. Sarah Palin to Gov. George Wallace)
Posted on 12/27/2009 7:44:44 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
The title of this post comes from remarks by Lt Gen. Honore at a press conference following hurricane Rita in 2005, when he was admonishing the press work with him cooperatively to communicate accurate information to the public for a change.
It kind of sums up my view of NBC. This morning brought another example, when Andrea Mitchell was on a panel on Meet the Press spouting unfounded opinions about a vast array of issues. Here's one that really got to me.
MR. GREGORY: Just be a little bit more specific, Andrea, whether we're talking about figures like President Obama or Sarah Palin, who you spent a lot of this year covering as well, as kind of this leading edge of conservatism at the moment. What happens?
MS. MITCHELL: What I noticed when I was out covering Sarah Palin when she was out on the book tour, at 4 and 5 and 6 in the morning on freezing days, when people had been out for hours, camped out with their kids because they wanted to see her, they are so hungry for a symbol for anyone who can give them answers. And in this case, she was just signing books.
All accurate so far, and if she had stopped there, all would have been well. But she didn't.
But there's an anger out there, and I have not seen it since my very first campaign, which was 1968 and George Wallace. And that is the angry populism which is not fact-based, it's just furious at everybody; angry at Democrats, at Republicans. The tea party has higher numbers in our last NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll than either of the other traditional parties. And that is what I think this news cycle which you referred to is feeding into, and that is what does frighten me. This spirit of America is so large and embracing, but there is an angry subtext because of economic dislocation that is very, very worrisome.
Tea parties = Ku Klux Klan. Right. Stuck on stupid.
Wallace did wear glasses.
Be scared, Andrea. Be very scared.
If Sarah Palin is George Wallce then how she is marry to Alaska native which ancenstry is Asian HELLO Andrea
But I'm sure the Rodney King riots were justified, eh, Andrea?
And all of those trashed out American flags after an Obama speech? Just normal Americans, right?
"This spirit of America is so large and embracing, but there is an angry subtext because of economic dislocation that is very, very worrisome..."
With the MSM you would never know she feels there was a large and embracing spirit in America. The leftists are so nasty about anyone who is not lock-step in sync with their own prejudiced viewpoints. The problem is they are standing inside the forest and cannot see the trees!
These leftists are so afraid of Sarah Palin they can't see straight! The more they try and discredit her, the more popular she becomes. People KNOW the truth when they hear it and Sarah tells the truth.
George Wallace was a Democrat.
(needs to be repeated every time some dem tries this)
George Wallace was a Democrat.
So incidentally was the Arkansas governor whose opposition to the integration at Little Rock Central High - led to the standoff with Eisenhower and the National Guard.
And George Wallace was a Democrat.
Sarah will be the next prez Andrea and you know it. Not only that but she will have a republican senate and house. You and your leftist ilk are so over, you are gonna cry 96 tears....uh..make that 96,000.
It's time to lock Andrea up for her own safety and that of others.
Governor Wallace was a life-long Democrat, as were almost all KKK members. Democrats are the party of Jim Crow, the KKK, segregation, the Confederacy, the Copperheads, etc...
Maybe Mrs. Federal Reserve should take an American history course at CUNY.
Andrea who?
Well ,she is Right that every one is pissed off and if republicans don't find an ideology then its 3rd party we go with or without Sarah. Tea Party ROCKS!!!
The way closet racist liberals use the race card is absurd and polarizing in the worst possible way.
"If Sarah Palin is George Wallce then how she is marry to Alaska native which ancenstry is Asian HELLO Andrea" ~ SevenofNine
Check out this website currenly in development LoL:
WOW that is cool
It is absolutely fact-based, Andrea, your willfully blind nitwit. And now the Tea Party folks and others have even more justification to be mad, and even madder: Obamacare passed the Senate with some of the sleaziest bribes and pay-offs ever, giving special favors to some states and even special favors to some citzens in some states but not others. And the Dims lied shamelessly saying it would not increase the deficit, and further review puts its additional cost at about $2.5 trillion over ten years.
The mad people should be even madder, Andrea. And listening to your nonsense gives them even more justification.
I compare Andrea Mitchell to National Socialist Magda Goebbels.
Controversy during Obama Campaign
During an appearance on MSNBC on June 5, 2008, Mitchell came under fire when she referred to the voters of the southwest Virginia region as rednecks.[6] On June 9, Mitchell apologized for her comment stating:
And now, a point of personal privilege. I owe an apology to the good people of Bristol, Virginia, for something stupid that I said last week. I was trying to explain, based on reporting from Democratic strategists, why Barack Obama was campaigning in southwest Virginia, but without attribution or explanation, I used a term strategists often use to demean an entire community. No excuses, I'm really sorry. As they say, when I make a mistake, it's a beaut.
I saw this skank bust her ugly scum-mug through the crowd (pushing the plebes aside) to try to goad Sarah into bad-mouthing John McCain. Sarah kept her cool beautifully, while this horrid witch-whore hissed and pissed trying to get the answer she wanted. It was truly a disgusting display of bottom-sucking low-life behavior on the part of the Mitchell skank and truly a display of class and character on the part of Sarah.
In Obama's case, he celebrates the Murder of the Just Born.
Don't want anyone being punished with a Baby when it's so much easier to just kill it.
Andrea Mitchell, the Tokyo Rose of Liberalism.
NEVER confuse ignorance with malevolence.
Andrea is far angrier than any Tea Partier.
I was looking at Zazzle the other day and found a bumper sticker in Chinese, that I "think" is pro-Palin.
Yes Andrea. Wallace on a National scale. What a Moron that hag is.
I think you owe Herr Frau Johanna Maria Magdalena "Magda" Goebbels an apology. LOL
I don't want to go too far - but this compulsive, reactive behavior reminds of Our Lord's words " ... I come not to unite the world, but to divide the world ... I am the rock that divides .."
Al Greenspan should put a white sheet over her head.
What is this Tea Party that she refers to?
Pray for America's Freedom
Not only that SevenofNine, but if a closet racist liberal ever tries to pull the race card on Palin and the teaparties, remind them that not only does the Palin family have Native American heritage—Native Americans being the most marginalized ethnic grop in our society, but Trig Palin represents by far the most discriminated-against segment of our population: the disabled.
One wonders what liberals would say if Palin picked someone like Bobby Jindal as a running mate.
(Sarah spends a lot of time in her book discussing Alaska's cultural diversity and her appreciation for Native American traditions and their respect for nature. She also talks about the social and economic struggles faced by people in the Yup'ik community Todd grew up in. This is no rich, white plantation-owning family!)
I can remember the first presidential election I voted in. Now, my first real presidential election was 1980. However, back in school we held mock elections and the earliest one I can remember was 1968. I was 6. I voted for George Wallace. All of us did. The only kids who didn't were the northern transplants. Granted, we all voted for who our parents for us but there was a very real state pride thing going on.
I will say I voted to re-elect Wallace in 1982 when I had the vote. Three times. Primary, runoff and against Folmar and to be honest, I would have done so again in 1986 had he run again. (I ended up going with the hometown guy Graddick and we all saw how that turned out). My father also got us to help put up signs for him in the re-election bid in 1974 and I seem to recall us also being for him in 1970.
Most people who like to use Wallace as an example have no idea what Wallace was talking about. The comparison of Wallace to Palin is a bad one because Wallace always had very strong support from unions. It is also a bad one because Wallace had an extensive record of achievement as a chief executive. In his first term he accomplished things that no governor had ever accomplished before. He brought a lot of jobs to the state.
It is also a bad comparison to draw because Mitchell is trying to draw out the race card and tying that into Palin. Now, the only campaign Wallace ran explicitly on race was 1962. He implicitly mentioned it in 1970 but Wallace's campaign in 1968 wasn't based on race.
Then again, Wallace is also the reason that Humphrey was able to become President.
Uh, the Democrats that were the party of the Confederacy are nothing like the liberals of today. Just as the Socialists who called themselves Radical Republicans in the 1860s and 70s have no connection to our party of today.
Just as Thomas Jefferson would not recognize the party today that supposedly claims him as their "intellectual forefather".
In modern politics Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Wade Hampton and Oscar Underwood would all be Republicans and Abe Lincoln, U.S. Grant, Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner would all be among the most liberal of Democrats.
Correction. Humphrey was not able to become President.
If Wallace hadn'tve run, based on Johnson's own performance in '64 and Nixon's in '60 it is fair to assume that a majority of Wallace states (and the election) would have gone to Humphrey, not to mentions states Nixon carried like Tennessee and Florida.
Them bringing up race actually helps us. I think I saw it posted on this site where right now Obama's approval rating among whites is below 30%. That's a damning a statistic.
Now is actually the perfect time to talk about affirmative action. Because really, now that Obama's president, it isn't needed. And more importantly, it is another way we can remind the middle class that he's not on their side.
Of course this silly b!tch doesn't bother to ask why people are angry.
Same thing these days, hadn't you noticed before this?
Andrea is out to get Sarah like all the other leftist cocktail party crowd. She is also jealous.
there is an angry subtext because of economic dislocation
What! Andea! You're not saying people of America are ANGRY that Barry the Boy King took his private 747 to spend the holiest Christian holiday at a $3500/night getaway, closed beaches for his private deal with Bruno Not-Proud-Of-My-Country, and pulls down four hundred large for playing golf.
And Wallace, Andrea--he was a DEMOCRAT, you know, like ROBERT BYRD THE KLANSMAN.
Mitchell is still CYAing and pimping for her crooked ex-FED Chair husband's books
Haven't read the article yet. Was searching for my Andrea slideshow and haven't found it yet, lol.
Very attractive graphics Phil!
Good pic!
Moron ambusher Andrea Mitchell looks like she is pretending she is not angry that she is being restrained from harrassing Sarah Palin
Going out a bit after 2pm here - stocking up on stuff
Stock up. A bottle of wine to relax the spirits, lol. Think the 'spirits do the relaxing'. Snowshoes or ice skates may be needed....
Make a list, and check it twice!
Remember Mitchell and all the balloons thrown at her during the convention? She makes a good target.
Andrea actually said after interviewing Sarah right after Sarah resigned............."Her political career is over"...............I saw it on TV...........
So,Andrea has drawn a line in the sand...and she is wrong of course, but she has to make this work and show how right she is................
It is amazing to me, that anyone would listen to any of these news people.
Who died and made them experts on anything?
Sarah has a degree in Journalism, and she doesn't even act like these morons............
First I love Sarah's Jacket
And Second I want to see Sarah punch that creep about 20 times................I want to see teeth on the floor............................LOL
It will never happen but I would pay, and by the way, I have given away a dozen of Sarah's books....
I would pay to see that, Sarah would kick her ass.................Gosh I would love to see it..............
Lol, you must be a man!
Sarah is smart and beautiful and composed. She knows just how to shoot a little arrow at her detractors with a cute 'zinger' remark and wink of the eye.
Believe me, that can infuriate them WORSE than anything. She is classy, and resorting to violence isn't.
Great about you giving people her book!!

This watercolour was worked up from
a partly-coloured pencil drawing in a sketchbook Turner used on a tour of the Lake District in 1797. This large leather bound book, known as the Tweed and
Lakes sketchbook, can be seen in a
nearby display case.
The name 'Joseph Farington' appears on back of this sketch. Farington was an artist whose views of the Lake District inspired Turner's work. In appreciation, Turner
asked Farington to choose a study from
the sketchbook so that he could paint a watercolour for him as a gift. Derwentwater was the subject Farington chose.

Frankel's: A Modern Jewish Deli Grows in Brooklyn
In honor of Passover, which begins this Friday at sundown, it felt only fitting to take a closer look at Frankel's, the newly opened delicatessen and appetizing shop at 631 Manhattan Ave.
It's not to say the iconic delis of yesteryears can't cut it anymore, but there's clearly been a revival written about aplenty everywhere from The New York Times to Bon Appétit Magazine. But what Frankel's offers is more than just a good brisket — it's a modern, younger take on old school dining. Continue reading
