Re: Indian Recipes.....by Suresh Nair
Thx for all the lovely (veg) recipes, Suresh. I have a feeling my kitchen will often smell of wonderful Indian spices this winter
Hey Stefanie, made your butter chicken before, rumour has it it was great! Also made the Palak paneer dish you posted for me once - everything was great! I make curries very often and try to "infect" as many people as possible with my love for curries . Around here, not many cook Indian (or Asian for that matter) so it's definitely quite a project. Cheers again!

English Language Learners
The American Dream Starts @ your library
For more than a century, public libraries have been a cornerstone of the American Dream, providing equal access to information of all kinds. Libraries are among the first American institutions immigrants turn to for help in learning how to read, write and speak English. The libraries participating in the American Dream Starts @ your library can be found in all kinds of communities - from large cities and rural towns across the country.
To date, more than 144 public libraries in 27 states have been selected by the American Library Association (ALA) to receive grants between $5,000 - $15,000 as part of "The American Dream Starts @ your library®" literacy initiative. This initiative is funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, and coordinated by the ALA Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services.
Serving Non-English Speakers in U.S. Public Libraries: 2007 Analysis of Library Demographics and Programs
This American Library Association (ALA) study, conducted through the Office for Research and Statistics, provides new information about library services and programs developed for non-English speakers, including effectiveness of services, barriers to library use, most frequently used services and most success library programs by language served.

Why do some lengthy sentences flow effortlessly while others stumble along? Why are you captivated by the writing of particular authors? How can you craft sentences that reflect your unique outlook on the world?
This lively, 24-lecture course introduces you to the myriad ways in which we think about, talk about, and write sentences. Reviving the sentence-oriented approach to studying writing, Professor Landon provides a greater context for what makes sentences great - and how you can apply these methods to your own writing.
You'll look at the kernels from which sentences grow - minimal base clauses - and how adding words or phrases creates larger, cumulative sentences that lead toward great writing. You'll explore sentence constructions that make writing more complex and add exciting levels of suspense, and see tactics that create balance and rhythm.Recognizing and appreciating these and other eye-opening aspects of sentences helps you understand the work that goes into creating an effective, pleasurable sentence, which can make you more aware of why particular lines, passages, or phrases in the poems, novels, or articles you read so enchant you.
Professor Landon draws abundantly on examples from the work of brilliant writers, including Don DeLillo, Virginia Woolf, Samuel Johnson, and more. With its passionate approach to writing and reading and its indulgence in the sheer joy of language, this journey gives you unique insights into the nature of great writing-and also teaches you how you can achieve some of this greatness yourself.

"I appreciate long sentences more now"
I am not a writer, but I bought this book because I am curious about how writers craft sentences. As the author clarifies early in the first chapter, this book is actually about building good LONG sentences. He explains how good, long, sustaining sentences are built. He cites many good examples from current and past writers. Some of the analytical observations and technical terms used to describe certain approaches in building sentences are bit too much for me, and I somehow doubt that Hemingway and other great writers studied these technical aspects of writing, but the materials covered in this book are still fascinating to me, and I now appreciate long sentences more. One small issue for me was that it took me some time to get used to this professor's tone of voice and his accents. You might want to check out the sample to hear his voice first to see if you are comfortable listening to the sound for 12 hours.
"good writers course"
I've listened to many Great Courses before and now that they are on Audible it can only be good. this one was interesting for me as I like to study writing techniques and style etc as well and you gain insight not only into methods to try, but into what makes some of the great writers great. there are many excellent quotations from famous writers that make me want to read them more if i haven't already.
one good thing about these courses is that you can do the lessons/lectures one at a time and come back after something else and continue, or do them several together.
the only thing i would change is the little intro/exit announcement and applause needs to go. and i would like to see at least a pdf of materials referred to if not the actual sentences quoted.
will listen again to this and plan to get others.
"Worth Listening To"
I loved this book. Dr. Landon brings things to mind about the construction of a sentence that I had never considered before. I am very interested in writing and have done a bit of amateur writing myself. It is something I would like to do more of in the future, and having read/listened to this book, I now believe I have a better chance at being good at it.
Dr. Landon is funny and serious, having a great way about him that holds the attention, which allows the learning to take place. This book is certainly not for everyone, but even if you do not ever intend to write an interesting sentence, being a bibliophile like I am, you may like this book because of the new, more enlightened way you are bound to read books. Hahaha, my sentences are still awkward, but now I have a pattern to follow that, with practice, will help me improve.
I certainly intend to listen to more of the "Great Courses" series. What a great way to educate oneself.
"Great Lessons If You are Ready for them"
Cannot say, since I don't have the print version.
Not applicable- non fiction book
I don't know
not applicable
I have listened to this book over and over throughout the years, having first downloaded the series from the Great Courses website, and as I gain in knowledge, about the writing craft, I find this series more and more valuable to my growth as a writer, picking up new details I'd previously missed, with each listen. For those who find the lectures too pedantic, I'd suggest checking out Writing123 dot com, which too is based upon the same concepts presented in this series, as laid out by Francis Christensen. You will get a simpler graded set of lessons to help you master the cumulative sentence structure. This is a college level course, and the professor has to present a complete background in order to make it academic, but the 123 website, on the other hand, offers a simpler road to the treasure,The brilliance of this book is in the details, and details are perfect for the writer-philosopher. Please do not rush through the lessons, but instead, take one at a time, then master the concepts, and then move on to the next lesson. That is my opinion on how to best gain from this audible book. Have paper and pen at hand.
"Write longer sentences and throw out "The Rules"."
I would listen to another of the great courses, but not another by Prof. Landon.
Really any professional narrator would have greatly improved the audiobook. While some listeners were bothered by his accent and pronunciation, what really drove me to the brink of abandoning the program was his constant amusement at his own writing, amusement evidenced by involuntary little giggles, tiny chuffs of air really, that precede the first word in a clause and that signal to the reader that the author, prescient of the clever wordplay about to be communicated, is on the verge of some tidbit of witty banter. Unfortunately, most of the time, these linguistic gems fail to deliver the goods hinted at by the author's little chuckle. Like the pronunciation problems that some reviewers have mentioned, these mini giggles, once I had focused in on them, became a persistent source of exasperation as I listened.
The material is quite good and I believe it would be useful to a broad spectrum of developing writers. There is enough good advice and information to have filled 5 hours. Unfortunately, the course is more than double that. The extra time is taken up with repeating the valid points over and over again as well as by reciting mind-numbing strings of alternate sentence constructions. For example, if the point is that a sentence with a base clause and four free modifying clauses can be rearranged in any order, the author actually spends several minutes rearranging the clauses to demonstrate the point. Even the slowest pupil would have gotten the point after the third or fourth alternate version, but on they go.
"Very well presented... but with poor pronunciation"
I enjoyed the presentation of the information in easily absorbed 30+ minute chapters, Mr Landon has a wonderful presence and effectively introduces the subject matter with humor and intelligent simplicity.
By breaking down, and then rebuilding well known and well written sentences, it allows you to perceive the structures involved, giving it the sense that I too could someday write!
The only problem concerning this lecture, is the man needs tutoring on pronunciation. Listening to him say 'senences' instead of 'sentences' repeatedly, put my teeth on edge. This was the subject of the ENTIRE lecture, and he couldn't find the 'T' within the word! Once you have latched onto such a glaring mispronunciation, you discover yourself finding more, especially when the word 'senence' is used well over a thousand times during the lecture. I understand there are many out there who will consider this nit-picking to the extreme, and many will have not even noticed, but imagine reading a book where all of the 'r's' have been omitted, it is not that much different.
A means to purchase the notes mentioned would be nice as well.
"Has some valuable information, but it felt a bit l"
Detail, extension, and retooling.
The most interesting aspect of this lecture series is probably its initial focus on extending your sentences. It goes into great detail on the subject, and really gets you thinking about how to approach each sentence you write. Not really a huge revelation, but still really interesting, and probably something you never thought too much about.
As for the least interesting part, well that would probably be the fact that its just too long. In the second half things start to get less and less interesting, to the point where I just zoned out and stopped really paying attention.
Some people just have a natural talent for captivating an audiences attention, and professors are generally not in that camp. He did an ok job. I'm not really sure he could have done anything to make it better.
Probably nothing, that is to say unless you're a writer or have a passions for writing. I guess if you wanted to explore or expand upon your writing this may have same daily use value, but I think its more directed at people who like to write stories and what not.
If your interested in writing give it a go, you'll probably get something valuable out of it.
"Excellent for "would be" authors"
It's an excellent for people who like to write, but never had the chance to actually study this craft at a college/university level. Even as a non-native english speaker, I found the class easily understandable, and most of the examples given by the teacher were clear and easy to grasp.
First class-type for me. Wouldn't know.
It's a class. But I guess the class is divided into two main parts. The first one, more easily to catch, takes about half of the class, and teaches about cumulative sentences. It's an excellent introduction, though perhaps it's a little bit long.
The second part is an amalgamation of different styles, which might not always have a logical line to follow. Despite that, the rich examples of the professor helps the student understand many subtleties.
I had bought this class in a video format at first, and couldn't find the patience to actually sit down and simply watch.
The audio version, if you have a long road to travel, or an easy mindless commute, is perfect. You might be missing some of the more graphical elements (for example, the different sentences levels), but in general, it's easy to understand. You do need to focus, however, so if you're the type of person to easily let your mind wander by driving, for example, this might not be for you.
"Too many words. Not enough Ts."
The professor talks too much. Without a course book, I found it difficult to follow him when he cited examples on building longer sentences. Oh yeah, he consistently mispronounced the word sentence as senence or sinence. It drove me up the freakin' wall.No, I wouldn't try another course with this professor.
Learn to explain his topic concisely. The prof. expressed his misgivings about The Elements of Style, a manual which teaches concise writing. He should revisit this book.
It needs a substitute course on the same subject with a different prof.
"Building better SENNENCES"
Yes -- have bought several and will buy more.
I think another reader of the professor's material -- one with a more subtly nuanced and inflected voice, without the Texan (or whatever it is) trouble with consonants and torturing of vowels, might be better. As it is, I am now using it to get me off to sleep at night (being a bit of an insomniac). I am hoping for subliminal learning! There was a VERY long-winded introduction that stated a lot of very obvious things. Examples are multiplied ad nauseam - so the good prof. reels off long strings of restatements and so on, and so on .... The words tend to merge into a mass of ... well, 'sennences'. There are no clear pauses and it becomes quite hard to listen to him to extract the meaning. These 'sennences' are often very long and convoluted -- better suited to the written word. For example he reads a sennence then says the proposition "might have been implied or acknowledged by writing this sennence in a number of different ways ... [he then reads off what seems like 20 variants of the same sentences, each with slightly different propositions] -- yeah, OK, OK, we get it."
The underlying work (Port Royal Grammar, Chomsky, historical snippets etc) is really interesting but don't get much air time.
tedious soporific sennences
Not sure yet -- still getting through it. Better as a book to read, perhaps. Especially all the readings of sentence variant after sentence variant. When you are READING, you skip over these at faster speed, just getting the gist. Here you have to sit there while he reads every one out to you.
I suppose 'Dubbya' for W, 'sennences' for sentences, 'idennifying' for identifying, and the rest are just regional dialects in the US, and thus seen as OK, but to an outsider they sound illiterate, or irritating at best, because the diction is not precise. This is exacerbated by the fact that precision in WRITTEN language is the goal of the course. I am not calling fore British Received Pronunciation, you understand -- just that this imprecise-sounding dialect is a pity in a book about writing. If it doesn't bother you, fine. But if hearing the word "sennence" makes you want to slit your wrists after about the tenth time, be warned, there are about 63,000 of them. OMG! In Part 1 Chapter 3 at somewhere around 1:30.00 he says SENTENCE very clearly! With a T! There might be hope.
"How to write a sennanse!"
I have arrived at chapter 8; I feel this is an achievement. A pretty hefty achievement because the narrator is punching my brain with side swipes in his pronunciation.
The word is sentence so why does he insist on pronouncing it as SENNANSE?
My head hurts!
Otherwise, pretty good.
"If you learn through Repetition then this for you"
The content - make it snappy, it seems as if the authors want to make books longer as well as sentences.
Nothing really
Not the narrator as much as the looped clap tape
Aimed at at 14 to 15 year olds
"Poor advice"
There are some decent hints in here but overall he hits the same wring headed nail so many times I could stand it no longer.
"Very good"
It goes to the nuts and bolts of building a sentence.
There was none.
Well worth listening to.

With a few days off from writing for the Peacock, I've got a few things bouncing around my brain.
— Folks are starting to fret about labor issues disrupting the start of the season. It's a healthy thing to worry about but the juxtaposition between "fan worries" and "colleague worries" is so different.
Fans are worried they won't have hockey to watch and get worked up about. Colleagues are worried, in some cases, that they won't have something to help them collect a paycheck. These are the sorts of things the league and players don't keep in mind.
Yes, players won't get paid if there's a lockout, but when they do get back to work they're making a pretty penny (even if their salaries do get rolled back). For writers, freelancers especially, that's not how it works and it sucks. Big time. I know both sides won't think about these things, but for the sake of sanity let's hope they keep the kvetching to a minimum.
A while back I got into a bit of a Twitter row with my pal Bruce Arthur of The National Post when I stupidly didn't think of the big picture in these matters (this was in a discussion of the NBA lockout at the time). I get it and, as usual, Bruce was right.
— I feel for Scott Howson. He's a good guy, a nice guy, but that doesn't always make you good at your job. That said, he did what he had to do in dealing Rick Nash and while I think he had a better offer on the table from the Rangers at the deadline (one which he said "no" to), he did well in getting what he did from New York now.
He gambled on teams being eager to pay up big to get a superstar once free agency, he gambled (mostly) wrong. Dubinsky is a nice player, as is Anisimov, but Tim Erixon (he of the curious karma) is the guy who can help maybe make this deal a push when we look back on it in years.
Then again, Nash could re-discover he's a superstar on Broadway and become a Manhattan folk hero and Columbus fans will never hear the end of it no matter what. Hooray fun!
All that aside, read up on Aaron Portzline's 61 thoughts on the Nash deal is a must-read. Suffice to say, there's a lot more than meets the eye.
Science interlude: HOLY CRAP, THERE'S WATER IN SPACE
— Alexander Semin is a freaking lightning rod of controversy. "No way! Really?!" you say sarcastically. "Shut up, it's my website," I say back to you.
People love him (mostly Caps fans), people hate him (hockey old timers and other Caps fans) but they guy is stupid talented. I hope he takes this opportunity in Carolina and uses it to prove to everyone what he's capable of. If he pulls a Zherdev and decides to be moody, that will be massively disappointing.
— Favorite idea of the weekend? Derek Zona's thought to deal Jordan Eberle for P.K. Subban. The thinking here is Eberle's value (and image) has never been higher while Subban is massively under-appreciated in Montreal. Couldn't agree more with that line of thought.
Of course, that also means Steve Tambellini would never have the cojones to try and do it. Life is forever a pipe dream in Edmonton.
— Zona is also sky-high on Oliver Ekman-Larsson. File that under: Duh.
— I'm loving the beach volleyball at the Olympics. It's the least fuddy-duddy sport of the Games, and me saying "fuddy-duddy" practically makes me one as it is. It's like I NARC'd on myself.
— Love it that Teemu Selanne is back for another year. Now if we can just get Daniel Alfredsson to do the same, that'd be great. It's still a huge bummer Nicklas Lidstrom decided to hang it up, but after talking with Aaron Ward during the Stanley Cup finals (he's the guy that broke the news after all) it sounds like Lidstrom had his mind made up for a while.
— I'll try to do these more often. I got inspired reading Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback and while I know he gets plenty of grief, I enjoy how personable he makes his columns. He takes you into team camps, he gets you inside to let you know what's going on and hey, you'll get some coffee and beer talk too. Put me down for a few of the latter.

Directed by Michael Bay
Starring Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whviteley, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel
The Transformers are back, and this time, Earth may be in its biggest danger yet. In Dark of the Moon, Transformer Optimus Prime, the bot's human ally Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf), and the rest of the Autobots learn of a dark secret kept by the U.S. government about the 1969 Apollo 11 moon-landing mission. These mysterious events from the dark of the moon threaten to bring a war so big to present-day Earth, that the Transformers alone can't save us.
Meanwhile, the Decepticons are out for revenge in an assault on the city of Chicago led by new villain Shockwave—an attack that puts Sam's new girlfriend, Carly (Huntington-Whiteley), in danger. Patrick Dempsey plays Carly's race-car driver boss. Actors Ken Jeong and John Malkovich also join the cast.
Did You Know?
In this installment, long-time Transformers fans can look forward to the new appearance of vintage robots from the original 1980's TV show and comics, including Optimus Prime's predecessor, Sentinel Prime (voiced by Leonard Nimoy). Fans can also expect more impressive 3-D effects; this is the first Transformers film shot using Avatar's digital 3-D filming technology.

ComScore: Android Holds Onto No. 1 U.S. Mobile Market Share Position
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
(Source: deviantart.net)
Apple took second place with 28.7 percent market share
The latest comScore report shows that
Android is still dominating
U.S. mobile subscriber market share ahead of Apple's iOS.
The report, which measures mobile market share for the U.S. during a three month period ending November 2011, provides an average among over 30,000 U.S. mobile subscribers.
According to comScore, 234 million Americans age 13 and over used mobile devices in the three month period, and 91.4 million of them are smartphone owners. Android-based devices took the lead position with 46.9 percent share in the smartphone market. Apple took second place with 28.7 percent, followed by RIM (16.6 percent), Microsoft (5.2 percent) and Symbian (1.5 percent).
Samsung, which creates mobile Android-based devices, was the handset leader during the three month timeframe with 25.6 percent market share. This was a 0.3 increase from the previous three month period ending August 2011. LG followed with 20.5 percent, Motorola had 13.7 percent, Apple had 11.2 percent and RIM fell in last place with 6.5 percent.
The results hardly seem surprising, since a report from earlier this month stated that
Android claims nearly half of the U.S. smartphone market
. Also, Android dominated comScore's report ending August 2011 with 43.8 percent market share, leaving Apple in second place with 27.3 percent.
Another unsurprising factor about comScore's report is that RIM has lost market share since the three month period ending August 2011, sliding from 19.7 percent to 16.6 percent in top smartphone platforms and also falling from 7.1 percent to 6.5 percent top mobile OEMs. More than likely, its tumble is due to
RIM's October data outage
that lasted four days and spanned the U.S., Canada, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Dad will love this on Father's Day night. This recipe is another contribution from Grandma Law (see her fruit cake recipe opposite) and is so easy.
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
¼ cup cocoa
75g melted butter
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
For the topping
2 cups brown sugar
¼ cup cocoa
2 cups boiling water
1 Preheat oven to 180C.
2 Sift flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cocoa into a mixing bowl.
3 Add butter, milk and vanilla and mix well. Pour into a deep, buttered, 20cm round ovenproof dish.
4 Combine brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle over pudding. Pour over boiling water and bake for 40 minutes. Don't worry if it looks like a mess, it will be fine, and tastes delicious.
You can easily halve the sauce recipe, but who doesn't like lots of chocolate sauce?

Trueno, great job. I really like it, and I think fixing the receiver, instead of buying a slant cut stock, is the way to go, if you have the skills/equipment. Looks so much better.

Most semi-auto pistols, your Taurus and the 1911 included, feature "controlled feed." That is, the cartridge is under the control of some sort of restraining device throughout the feed cycle. These restraining devices normally include only the magazine's feed lips and the pistol's extractor. The reason for this control is to assure feeding in any gun position, including upside-down.
Thus, semi-auto pistol extractors work best when the cartridge is fed from the magazine, through its feed lips. Feeding through the ejection port puts the extractor under unnecessary strain, even though that method will work with many pistols. Sometimes, that method won't work at all.
I strongly suggest that you feed your chambered round through your pistol's magazine. Then remove the magazine, add another cartridge (that is, "top it off"), and reinsert the fully-loaded magazine.
Careful shooters will load that first round from the magazine, remove the magazine, holster the pistol, "top-off" the magazine, and then either draw the pistol and replace the magazine, or insert the magazine into the pistol while it remains holstered.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Our room and living areas were spotlessly clean, however our first impressions were not good. The entrance was dark and the lift hard to find. When we arrived on our floor, the stairwell was dirty and smelled bad. It was also not clear as to were our apartments were.
Our room, while clean, was very sparse, lack of curtains made us uncomfortable about privacy. There was no chair to put clothes on.
Some of the photos on the site were not those of our apartment, including the bedroom we were given.
We did enjoy the company of the people there and the owner did respond to any questions we had.

Hello! My stanying in this apartament has been very good, near the underground, clean, new i recomended this.
Absolutely not recommended: Frequently willdfremde people with private door key to day and night ran through our apartment to reach across to underlying premises. This to prevent has not been possible because the door would not let block from the inside. Other shortcomings: Exposed electrical wiring, no light in the bathroom, leftovers from the previous guest in the fridge and freezer, only 8 real beds, instead of remaining 2 beds only a wobbly folding camp bed, and finally a very unfriendly "landlord" - NEVER AGAIN !!!
Absolut nicht empfehlenswert : Häufig liefen willdfremde Menschen mit eigenem Türschlüssel zu Tages- und Nachtzeiten quer durch unsere Ferienwohnung um dahinterliegende Räume zu erreichen. Dies zu unterbinden war nicht möglich, da sich die Wohnungstür nicht von innen versperren liess. Weitere Mängel : Offenliegende Elektroinstallation, kein Licht im Bad, Essensreste vom Vormieter in Kühlschrank und Gefrierfach, lediglich 8 richtige Betten, statt der restlichen 2 Betten lediglich ein wackeliges klappbares Campingbett , und schliesslich ein sehr unfreundlicher "Vermieter" - NIE WIEDER !!!
I had a pleasant stay. Everything was clean, new and modern and I'll be always at your back.
In the room I certainly missed a trash can and a black out blind. In the kitchen you can have quiet ready put more clean towels.
Ich hatte einen angenehmen Aufenthalt. Alles war sauber, neu und modern und ich komme jederzeit gerne wieder.
Im Zimmer habe ich allerdings einen Mülleimer und ein Verdunklungsrollo vermisst. In der Küche hätte man ruhig mehrere sauber Handtücher bereitlegen können.
Positives: plenty of space, comfortable lounge / living / kitchen area, 2 showers, 2 toilets, 3 single key
Negative: 101 steps - 5 floor, room decor very spartan, difficult parking situation, loud street noise in the bedrooms
Positiv: viel Platz, angenehmer Aufenthalts/Wohn/Küchenbereich, 2 Duschen, 2 Toiletten, 3 einzelne Schlüssel
Negativ: 101 Treppenstufen - 5 OG, Zimmer sehr spartanisch eingerichtet, schwierige Park-Situation, lauter Straßenlärm in den Schlafzimmern
Thwle apartment was very good. But the guy who runs it doesnt know what hospitaly or privacy means.
He wasn't there when we arrived
Shows up IN the apartment the next morning with is own key, without any notice or ringing the door bell.
Tells us only than the rules of the apartment
And the next day wants to hold in the deposit because we allegedly broke the rules on the first day.
So I wouldnt reccomend it, and I most defenately wouldnt reccomend paying the deposit.

"Enjoy this Reds fans, you are watching a legend grow up before your very eyes" ... DoogMinAmo on Adam Dunn
Rumor- Come on man, you know you don't honestly think managers feel the same about Griffey now as they did in his younger days. Maybe they should, but they don't
Like I said, everything Jr. does is magnified. I wonder if Adam had done this if there would be as big of a story? Or if the other team's manager was Bobby Valentine instead of St. Jack?Originally Posted by KittyDuran
There's a quote in the Atlanta Constitution in April by Jack McKeon.
The discussion was about Griffey's injuries for the last three Aprils.
Jack said, that with no disrespect intended, Griffey just isn't Bonds anymore.
He wasn't showing up the pitcher. He was showing up the person who called for the IBB to Sean.Originally Posted by TeamBoone
And sending a little message to every other manager in the league at the same time.
Will trade this space for a #1 starter.
It seems pretty ignorant to diss a manager that led the lowly marlins to a world series championship, much less the last playoff contending season for our beloved Reds. It's trader jack, not asinine (one s) jack or dipstick jack.
Perhaps Griffey took it personal (as a Mckeon slight), but did not Williams make the same move twice? Time to let it go.
Well Jack sure got that right. Jr didn't sink to the steroid use like Bonds. At least when Jr get to 500, they will be legit.Originally Posted by Eric_Davis

it makes sense, but i hate the move
woo woo woo, you know it
I reserve the right to disagree with your assertion that 99% of the other managers, including those during the injury riddled last three seasons, intentionally walked someone ahead of Griff in that situation. Williams and McKeon are the first ones in years. That means that hundreds of times that situation has come up and no one made that "percentages" move. He has now showed them that it was just as bad a move now as it was then.Originally Posted by Cedric
Just not wanting to be confused by the facts, eh Ramp?Originally Posted by ramp101
Wasn't Casey or Dunn walked to get to Jr. when the Reds were on the west coast?Originally Posted by traderumor
EDIT: Just looked at the game logs and that didn't happen in any of the games out there.

woo woo woo, you know it
It is a percentage move, this time Griffey won, if the pitcher struck him out and pumped his fist in Juinors direction would he be being "Feisty" "Aggressive" or simply just being a prick?That means that hundreds of times that situation has come up and no one made that "percentages" move. He has now showed them that it was just as bad a move now as it was then.
By "my" POV he "Glanced" or "Looked" over that way.
Did he "Glare"? isn't it an opinion what a "Glare" is anyway?
Maggie Simpson "Glares" at the baby with one eyebrow, was the loathing in Juinors glance equal to that?

Meet Iona Gonsalves, fibers alumna and jewelry designer
Iona Gonsalves first began pursuing textile design in her home country of India, where she traveled to various craft sectors to research traditional fabric arts. Her first foray into this kind of anthropological skill building was in Kollam, where she lived briefly. There, she learned lace making from the older artisans of the area, many of whom had lost their eyesight, but were still able to perform the intricate maneuvers of their craft from memory.
She also stayed with the Toda people of southern India to learn their traditions of embroidery - no easy feat. "They are very possessive about their culture," Iona says. "They were scared that I might learn their craft and go make a living out of it and they might lose their livelihood." Eventually, she won over the local artisans, but even then, they would only consent to teach her one pattern a day, a compromise she found exasperating.
When Iona moved on to work at a design firm, she combined these traditional textile arts with her own fashion-driven taste to create patterns for block-printed silk scarves. Her new employer was skeptical of her conceptual and modernistic designs. When he first saw her work, he dismissed it offhand, saying that her that clients would not want her scarves and that her design aesthetic was not marketable.
Iona was stung by this criticism and went home feeling disheartened. When she next came into work, she discovered that a buyer for a top Mexican client had come in and bought all of her scarves while she was gone. Her boss made no mention of his previously negative opinions of her work; instead, he left her a stack of new fabric with the demand that she design more scarves.
After earning a reputation as an innovator in this Indian design firm, Iona decided in was time to move on, and she turned her sights on the American design market. She landed a temporary position doing design work for the Los Angeles-based label Dosa; in this position, she realized she would connections if she was to succeed in the U.S., and she began looking into graduate programs. She applied to SCAD after extensively researching the fibers department. "I needed an experience," she explains. "I needed to see how the American market works. To be successful, you need to know people; you need to have connections. SCAD has given me connections."
Once at SCAD, Iona's unique and polished aesthetic garnered her not only numerous awards - including the Outstanding Achievement Award in 2010 and the Presidential Fellowship Award in 2008 - but also attention from industry professionals in SCAD's network. In 2009, Iona earned a spot in sustainable-crafts artisan Natalie Chanin's stitch workshop after showing Chanin some of her work at a SCAD event.
Later, Iona had the opportunity to show her work to Vogue contributing editor and SCAD board member Andre Leon Talley, who invited Iona to New York to meet and present her portfolio to top designers for Isabel and Ruben Toledo, Ralph Rucci, Zac Posen, Vera Wang, Tracy Reese and Calvin Klein. Iona says this experience reaffirmed her passion for fashion textiles.
"It has made me mentally clear that I know this is what I want," she says. "In my previous job, even though I have worked hard, I liked my job, it almost led me to a confusion. Is this what I want to do all my life? Well, here, now I know. I'm confident about myself and I'm confident about my work."
Iona's work consists mainly of luxury fabrics that range in versatility from high fashion to home furnishings. When creating these textiles, she takes her inspiration from her surroundings and sometimes uses details of Savannah as her muse.
"Most of my inspiration is from architecture and from the pictures that I take," Iona says. "There are elements of Savannah I pick on, and from there I go. I focus mainly on the light and shadow, how the reflections are created."
Since graduating, Iona has expanded her work to incorporate metal, and now works as a jewelry designer and retailer in Savannah. She still considers herself primarily a textile designer, however, and plans to continue developing her fibers skills in the future by further exploring traditional handcrafting.

Alarmist and paranoid. College Terrace is not at risk, if station # 2 is diminished. Firefighters should fight fires, not make homes calls over an asthma attack. EMTs should answer house health calls, minus the big firetruck and full crew. PAFD is, once again, on a campaign to support its union shakedown. The union knows that frightening women/mothers is an effective propaganda device. My hope is that women will become stronger than this, but that is still a ways off, apparently.
Don't sign the petition.

College Terrace does not need Fire Station 2 on Hanover Street; you have Fire station 6 on the other side of your community on the Stanford campus to cover you. You will also have excellent backup from Fire station 5 on Arastradero Road.
Fire stations 5 and 6 will also be able to cover the Hills along with Fire station 8 in the Summer.
The entire area of South Palo Alto from Oregon Expressway to San Antonio Road and East of Alma is covered by only one fire station, Fire station No. 4 on Middlefield. Why should the entire City of Palo Alto pay to cover College Terrace with two fire stations?
Hanover Street Fire station 2 is unnecessary and a waste of money. The Paramedics can be easily relocated to another fire station in Palo Alto. They should be more centrally located anyway.

Y'all let me know how this works out a couple years after the station closes.
I genuinely pray the only thing you notice is higher fire insurance rates.
Let's check back on those a couple years from now.

"Why should the entire City of Palo Alto pay to cover College Terrace with two fire stations?
It shouldn't. I live in College Terrace, and all we need is firefighters to respond to fires, as they (very rarely) occur. Palo Alto needs to restructure the fire fighting response. The most important parameter is to STOP sending out full fire crews for health issues...that is an EMT issue, not a firefighter issue. Firefighters should be first responders on one principle thing: Fires. Secondarily, natural disasers.
Mutual aid agreements can take care of fighting fires. Firefighters deserve respet for whaty are intended to do, fighting fires. However, they should leave first aid and health emergencies to the EMTs. We should refuse to sign a contract with a union shakedown, that puts the firefighters where they don't belong.
Ladies, when you see those nice young, buff firefighters, in their pressed uniforms, with Hollywood smiles, talking nice about saving your kids...RUN THE OTHER WAY! It is another union shakedown.

The reason fire fighters answer calls for the paramedics first is because they are closer. All fire fighters are trained EMTs. Also, the City of Palo Alto must have 29 fire fighters on call at all times to comply with Union contracts They don't have anything to do, so why not have them help out the paramedics?
a resident of Downtown North
on May 24, 2012 at 10:12 am
Here's the solution. Take charge. Next time you call the paramedics, tell the dispatcher you will accept only 2 responders, and if they can't live with that, don't send anybody.

Wow- for such an educated area people around here just don't seem to get it. For one fire crews work as a TEAM. Just because a call out may sound like just an asthma attack you never know how serious it could be. A car accident can require an entire crew to extricate a victim and provide medical care etc. Do you all realize how many companies are in the area of station 2 and that one fire crew could not handle a large blaze in one of those facilities? I guarantee that response time will be slowed and people are then going to blame the FD for not getting there in time to save dad from his heart attack etc and the FD is just going to shake their head and say- didnt we tell you all this long ago??? Spend one day on a ride along with these amazing, hard working folks and maybe you will learn just what they do do and give them the respect they truly deserve. All this union talk is such garbage. These nice well groomed guys are clean cut and looking as they should for the job they do. Most have families of their own and they are just friendly and approachable as they should be! Telling women to run the other way is just plain stupid. IF youve noticed that when they do get a call and they are not needed they will stabilize the patient and transport them and the fire crew will leave. Its not like they hang out there for hours doing nothing. This town is so ungrateful for what we have and I think sadly you all need to see what it would be like without them before you might get some appreciation. This topic makes me so mad and frustrated and so happy I am leaving PA! BUT I will always support the FD here! What they do in one day is ten times more important then what most people in their cubicles do - ever! And you complain its just a health call and blah blah..well when its YOUR kid or YOUR elderly mother you may think differently!

More union propaganda. We have way more union ff's than needed in PA and they are paid about three times the market rate. Every citizen should be encouraging the city mgmt to restructure the pafd to make the organization efficient and cost effective. No more sending two trucks and five employees when 1-2 are sufficient.
All city employees (including ff's) should be switched to 401k's and not receive any retirement benefits till they are 65. This means ff's will need to find other employment after they are no longer on the government dole as ff's.
We have an unsustainable retirement system for government union employees. Needs to change NOW. Ignore the union propaganda!

Ingrid is right to be concerned.
And the impacts go way beyond College Terrace. As I wrote in one of two posts in the thread on proposed public safety cuts, Engine 2's first response areas include:
- all areas West of El Camino from College Terrace and Research Park up through Stanford housing and Nixon School to Junipero Serra ... and Page Mill up to Skyline and into the Foothills outside of the summer months when Station 8 is not staffed
- west of El Camino for Evergreen Park and the California Avenue business district areas down to Lambert and then into Ventura, and
- across the tracks in Professorville and Midtown.
We now also estimate Station 2 to be closed for 9 months, and are awaiting confirmation from a city that has not been very forthcoming on this entire matter to date.
Web Link
Resident of Charleston Garden: You are correct that engines are often closer to emergency medical calls. There are two concurrent ambulances available in town, but there is also a paramedic on each of the 6 engines ready 24/7/365. As for the minimum shift staffing of 29 personal, that was taken out in last fall's contract.
Andrea: Your sentiment and facts are in the right place; hang in there and filter out the noise.

The consultant study from last year recommended:
" merging of Station 2 and Station 5 into a new station near the intersection of Arastradero Road and Hillview Avenue; and staffing Station 8 in the foothills only during "high fire" days, rather than throughout the summer."
It also recommended doing away with the union demand of 29 ff as a minimum staffing.
Combining two stations (2 and 5) into one at the corner of Hillview and Arastradero (near the old Roche site) makes complete sense to me. It would allow for less expensive staffing, without giving up much in terms of coverage. There is no need to be alarmist about this common sensical proposal. The union will continue to spread fear, but we should not buy into it.
Don't sign the petition.
a resident of College Terrace
on May 28, 2012 at 1:04 pm
I am dubious about how common is the sense throughout the community in favor of these two recommendations from last year's city-contracted Fire Services and Utilization Study.
But we can leave that matter aside for now, for neither the merger of Stations 2 and 5 nor reducing staffing at Station 8 in the Foothills is part of the proposed 2012-2013 fiscal year budget.
But another potentially controversial recommendation is, and it has jumped the gun.
#26: "When Stations 2 and 5 are merged, eliminate one engine É"
The mater of shutting down an engine company is a vital policy question that is proceeding under a cloak of darkness through the fast-moving budget process.
No related information disseminated without research and prodding from residents, no community outreach, no public discussion.
Those are definitely calls for alarm, which is why I have immersed myself in this matter as much as I am able over the past few weeks, spreading the word, and preparing an information document to be disseminated in the coming days.
a resident of College Terrace
on May 28, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Condensing two stations into one, at an optimal spot, should result in the elimination of redundant engines.
The FF union is stirring the pot, and making citizens nervous. Ignore the union, and use common sense.
a resident of East Palo Alto

Not union propaganda. Never been in a union, not a fireman. Full disclosure, my late father was, but that is no longer an issue, obviously.
re "they are paid about three times the market rate."
Market rate would be what ff's are paid in this market. If PA ff's are paid 3x what MP, RWC, MV and Sunnyvale are paid, then heck yeah, they're over paid.
Or are you comparing to rates in Omaha and Bakersfield?
Are they 3x what the local market is? Or was that just shrill propaganda and rhetoric?
a resident of College Terrace
on May 28, 2012 at 2:01 pm
I did not make the "3X" statement. I do think that public unions have gouged the public, but I do not know about specific salaries, relative to neighboring towns. My main point is that fire protection in Palo Alto can be made much more efficient. The fire union will always try to scare the public. Don't fall for it.

John, bad formatting on my part; I know you didn't, the 3x was claimed by Resident.
a resident of College Terrace
on May 29, 2012 at 2:37 pm
My estimate, stated above, of a 9-month shutdown of Engine Company 2 beginning July 1, if the proposed budget were to go into effect, was low.
That is because my calculations relied on an error in last year's Fire Services Utilization and Resources Study that stated that the Foothills fire station was staffed for 90 half days. It is actually staffed for 120 half days. [The error is on Page 86 within Web Link ]
This ups my estimate by a third, to 12 months.
One of the city's six 24x7x365 fire engines (Engine 2, the city has stated) will be shut down for the year if this budget is approved, and as stated in the budget, with subsequent consideration to make it permanent.

Trooper shot during traffic stop released from hospital
Search warrants released Thursday
DURHAM (WTVD) - The Highway Patrol trooper, shot several times during a traffic stop in Durham Monday, has been released from the hospital.
"Trooper [Michael] Potts is resting comfortably at home with his family," said First Sergeant Jeff Gordon, public information officer with the Highway Patrol.
Search warrants were released Thursday in connection with the shooting.
The warrants reveal that 21-year-old Lyndsey Smith picked up her boyfriend, Mikel Edward Brady II, shortly after he allegedly opened fired on Trooper Michael Potts along U.S. Highway 70 at Cheek Road near Interstate 85.
Authorities said Potts pulled over a newer model black Nissan with 30-day temporary license tags because the driver wasn't wearing a seatbelt. That's when the driver, believed to be Brady, allegedly opened fire.
Potts, 42, was shot four times and suffered wounds to each hand, his right shoulder, and the right side of his face.
Brady fled the scene. His Nissan was later found behind a Durham restaurant. Sources have told ABC11 that private surveillance video captured Smith picking up Brady in the parking lot where his car was later found abandoned.

Smith, who is seven months pregnant, has been charged with accessory after the fact in the case and harboring a fugitive, while Brady is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.
On Thursday, a visibly upset Smith asked a judge to lower her $1.5 million bond to $750,000. The judge denied her request.
Smith was arrested Wednesday, the same day Brady appeared in court and was placed under an $8 million bond in connection with the shooting.
The couple is reportedly high school sweethearts from Vermont, where Brady is wanted on an absconder warrant.
"I believe he's on furlough on breaking and entering charges," Assistant District Attorney Brian Raymond Jones told the judge Wednesday. "He's also on federal probation, your Honor, I believe for charges of theft of explosives. He's convicted in 2011 of grand larceny."
The judge set Brady's bond for that fugitive charge at $2.5 million, but said Brady won't be extradited until the court deals with his charges related to Monday's shooting.

I think there may be more dropped, good throws by Eli than bad throws. many key throws , Eli puts them right on the money , in the hands-DROPPED!
There is nothing wrong with this offensive scheme....Its won us 2 superbowls and has been one of the most electrifying offenses in the NFL for several seasons whether is was running the ball or throwing in the air. The problem with our offense is execution. We have receivers that drop easy passes or lose contraction of where the out of bounds is in the endzone. We have a running back that constantly fumbles and a rookie runningback that is no help in the passing game. We have all these one-dimensional players surrounding Eli Manning. We have no 3rd receiver or tight end, the interior of our offensive line is a mess and Bradshaw bad feet is starting to slow him down.
What went wrong:
No replacement for Manningham and Ballard this season.
Offensive line hasn't been addressed, and we have some free agent busts in Baas and Boothe.
Running back was finally addressed after the departure of Jacobs, but we did not find a pro-ready rookie...we sat back in draft day sealing our fate.
Its one man who made these mistakes...and you know who it is. Its not the coaching staff, its the players failing to execute.
We won the Superbowl in spite of our glaring weaknesses because we had some players really step up at an elite level...Eli, Cruz, JPP.
that being said i agree with your points on the red zone offense. so predictable, and they always get into a tough 3rd down and then a tynes kick.
i know nicks is banged up but why he doesnt see a ton of throws in the red zone idk, or even bennett for that matter because he can win balls on size alone. it drives me crazy how KG can call some nice plays to get down the field with the pass, and then he tries some garbage "power runs' inside the 20 to score. and they are always the same formations and results.
kills me how little we utilize a checkdown. other QBs LIVE off of checkdowns when their first options arent there and it helps their offense immensely. (brees, ryan).
i wish we could see wilson more for this reason, because i think he can be dangerous in space, but he had terrible drops early in the season and i think the coaches still havent gained confidence in him in that regard,

Can we protect the environment as long as we treat it as human property?
The Community (and nature's) Rights program works with communities and allies in the US and around the world to recognize that as long as the law treats ecosystems as property we cannot truly protect nature.
Working with Communities
Like other movements for justice, the Rights of Nature movement will grow from the grassroots. Those very same communities asking, "who decides" are beginning to stand up and take action for their local ecosystems too. Not only are these communities reclaiming their democracy, they are transforming the legal understanding of nature as property (to be destroyed at will) to recognizing the inalienable rights of ecosystems to flourish. In addition to our work with US Communities to pass laws recognizing rights of nature; we are collaborating with international partners and community groups to build a global movement to support the rights of nature...
International Focus: Shifting the Dialogue and Building a Global Movement for Rights of Nature [1]
The book gathers the unique wisdom of indigenous cultures, scientists, environmental activists, lawyers, and small farmers in order to make a case for how and why humans must work to change our current structures of law to recognize that nature has inherent rights.
Since its release last April, the book has been read by people from all across the US and the world. It clear that more and more people are looking to the Rights of Nature as a new approach to protecting and preserving the environment. Copies of the book are $15, including shipping for US orders.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Future Policy' tag.
I was browsing around the Brookings site, looking for papers that I might find interesting, and I stumbled across an article by Peter W. Singer which analyzed survey results from 1,000+ "Millennials" who are deemed to be interested in future governance. I put Millennials in quotes because I'm often confused by generational markers, but Singer seems to define "Millennial" as "born between 1980 and 2005". That's a pretty large time span, but I'll accept it. Anyway, I was interested in learning what how well my views coincided with the things Millennials found important. There isn't anything too earth-shattering in the paper if you have a general idea of polling of young voters, but here the statistics.
- Most of the survey participants identified as Democrats (38%), followed by Independents (29%). I draw the conclusion from later data that Independents in this group largely identified as left-liberal. These two groups together, assuming I'm correct, swamped Republican identification, which stood at 26%.
- Most of the participants cited news organization websites as their highest priority news sources, with cable news following behind. Blogs and comedy shows like The Daily Show were low. Surprisingly, most cited parental influence on their political views, with other popular leaders (political, faith, celebrities) having a very low share.
- Not surprisingly, schoolbooks are defining the historical narrative, with Franklin Delano Roosevelt being their ideal leader from history, followed by Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Barack Obama personifies "leadership needed" in the 21st century.
- Unfortunately, in my view, these participants view China as a "problem country" in the future, and few view China as an ally. I think this is driven by popular discourse, which I view as wrong and wrong-headed…and now actively damaging.
- Very good news, however, is that a majority (57.6%) think the US is "too involved in global affairs". Also on the positive side, among the least important "challenges for the future" is immigration. I'm very interested in changing the discourse and the tide surrounding immigration in the future. It is the cheapest, easiest, and fastest way in which we can raise the poor out of poverty, and greatly increase the welfare of everyone in the world.
- On the down side, terrorism is a large priority for the participants (31.6% saying its the top). Not surprisingly, Republicans dominate the group who thinks this (at 52%), and 84% of participants think terrorism will always be a threat. No disrespect to those who have lost their lives due to terrorism, but I barely see terrorism as a "threat" at all. Indeed, I, and the majority of people in the developed world have never experienced terrorism as a "threat", existential or otherwise. There may be incidences of terrorism in the future, and they may involve a high-profile loss of life…but I don't think that policy should be in any way dominated by the existence of such rare possibilities.
On the whole, as should be no surprise to people who follow demographic trends, younger people seem to be more left-liberal on issues. This survey didn't really deal with domestic social policy, and didn't deal with economic policy at all…but I think that by and large that identification has a lot to do with social issues like gay rights, abortions, etc. I am optimistic that our young leaders will be more "libraltarian", which is definitely a good thing in my mind. No, there will of course not be a libertarian revolution, and policy probably won't get outwardly "better" (i.e. we'll probably have to deal with the income tax, and onerous licensing and regulation), but I think that on some important margins, the future looks bright.

get unleashed vs the 49ers I am going to lose my cool. seriously.
That is all..
Does anyone really run well against the 9ers? I'm thinking we'll not see Wilson getting much carries next week...(in that game at least).
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
what are you even trippin on? Bradshaw had 200 yards. How can you even complain? some people
kudos to my man Ahmad, love the kid. Still doesnt take away from the fact that Wilson deserves more touches. disagree all you want, my point is valid
Other then the blip on the radar (the viking game) they are very stout against the run. Wilson is an electric talent - but it is all about protecting number 10. He is the only guy who absolutely cannot get hurt and no one does it better then 44. That said Wilson really can't show Coughlin anymore talent. He needs to get the ball in his hands - and not just on a special play or two - give the kid a series, and let him get a normal handoff and not just a pitch. Against the niners you better wrap that ball up - cause they come punching for it.
I am all for giving Wilson more touches, but if Bradshaw is running like he did today, you play the hot hand.
People will complain about Bradshaw again next week and I expect him to play a lot. No one has run on the 49ers for a long time now. They can also get after the QB. So next week there is a good chance the running game will not be even half as good as it was today, Bradshaw will stink again, Brown should play more threads will start, Wilson should play more threads will start, and blocking is over rated threads will start.
that TD Wilson ran for could be the unleashing of the beast in him.
he really hasnt had too much to cheer for this season but that td could be the jump start he needs.

Palm Springs High School teacher will face additional molestation charges
INDIO, Calif. - A Palm Springs High School teacher accused of molesting at least one male student pleaded not guilty today to sodomy and other sexual offenses and was ordered into custody.
Ronald Steven Bishop was initially charged Wednesday with four counts, and prosecutors today added five more charges against the 41-year-old Indio resident.
He now faces two counts of sodomy, one count each of oral copulation with a child under 16, unlawful bodily injury/sexual penetration by means of force, committing a lewd act on a child under 16, contacting a minor with intent to commit crimes and bringing child pornography into the state -- all felonies -- plus one misdemeanor count each of molesting a child under 18 and possession of material showing minors in sex acts.
Bishop, who had been free on a $150,000 bond, had his bail increased to $1 million by Riverside County Superior Court Judge Ronald L. Johnson. He is due back in court on April 19 for a felony settlement conference.
Bishop was taken into custody Jan. 17 in the school parking lot at 2401 E. Baristo Road. Police had received a report a few days earlier about a "child annoyance" claim involving a 15-year-old boy, and learned the suspect was one of the teen's teachers at the school, Palm Springs police Sgt. Mike Kovaleff said.
"(Police) learned that Bishop was suspected of communicating via text messaging with the 15-year-old victim over a period of nearly two months," Kovaleff said. "The text messaging included harmful matter that Bishop is suspected of sending in an attempt to seduce the minor."
According to an affidavit attached to a search warrant for Bishop's home, the boy was having problems with his parents' divorce and Bishop told the teen he could talk to him about it. They began communicating through Facebook and text messages, and Bishop allegedly sent him messages about topics including masturbation.
Bishop also allegedly invited the boy to his house -- he never went -- offered him rides and gave him a PlayStation game. The boy maintained that the only physical contact he had with Bishop was a hug, according to the affidavit.
The Riverside County District Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to queries regarding the case, including whether the sexual contact charges involved the 15-year-old student or whether additional alleged victims had been located.
Palm Springs Unified School District spokeswoman Joan Boiko said Bishop was placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. He had taught language arts at Palm Springs High since 2006 and at Nellie N. Coffman Middle School in Cathedral City from 2004 to 2006, she said.

Rotorua netball fans will be part of a large contingent of Magic supporters at the ANZ Championship grand final in Melbourne this weekend.
The Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic side won through to their third grand final with a thrilling 57-48 extra time victory over the Northern Mystics on Monday night. Twice runners-up, they will be hoping it will be third time lucky when they take on the Melbourne Vixens at 4.30pm (NZ time) on Sunday. A win would also see them become the first New Zealand side to snare the title.
Magic marketing manager Chris Buckley said they had been inundated with calls yesterday from people wanting to get to Melbourne for the final, including many from Australia-based Kiwis.
"It's gone crazy," she said. "We are hoping for hundreds to go over there - but we can make a lot of noise no matter how many go."
She said the franchise had put together a range of grand final travel packages for Magic fans, with prices starting from $760 per person for flights, two nights' accommodation and a match ticket.
Netball Rotorua secretary and hardcore Magic supporter Mary Thompson will be one of the first to grab her spot on the plane.
She travelled to both of the Magic's previous grand finals - against the NSW Swifts in Sydney in 2008 and the Adelaide Thunderbirds in Adelaide in 2010.
When The Daily Post spoke to her yesterday she was still waiting for details of the final package but was anticipating it to cost somewhere between $800 and $1000.
She said other Rotorua fans were hoping to join her.
"It depends on the cost for some people - there are five of us from Rotorua keen to go that are waiting to get the ticket price," she said.
Magic players and fans will be hoping Ms Thompson's match prediction proves correct.
"I think they [the Magic] will beat the Vixens easier than they did the Mystics."
