Mentor Walk College Student Coach Registration
Campus Community Partnership Foundation
Saturday, September 14, 2013 from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM (EDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
We need you to sign up to be a Mentor Walk Coach! This is an opportunity to work directly with students from around Metro Atlanta and fight the drop-out problem at the same time. You will work directly with an Accenture employee and a small group of high school or middle school kids on the day of the walk. This is limited to only 150 students so sign up before this opportunity is closed.
Accenture will hold a 1.5 hour training session (by conference call) for its employee volunteers and for college students serving as coaches (maximum of 150 employees and 150 students) so that everyone is trained on the material that will be given to the school kids at the Mentor Walk.
This provides a unique opportunity for you as a college student to experience real training sessions from a highly respected, global consulting company. You will have a chance to interact with Accenture employees in a meaningful one-on-one way and will get the benefit of shadowing the Accenture employee and/or helping to lead the coaching sessions of the younger students on the day of the Mentor Walk.
In addition to training by a world class organization, college student coaches will receive:
- A certificate from the Campus Community Partnership Foundation in recognition of serving as a Mentor Walk Coach.
- Eight (8) volunteer credit hours for those needing to fulfill a requirement - two for the training session and six for the actual day of the Mentor Walk.
- Breakfast, lunch, and a tshirt for participating.
You will receive more information on the coaching session and next steps once you have registered. Thank you in advance!
For questions, call us at 404-719-4363 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

well-organized, nice pool, friendliness of the staff, location, decent taverna, internet availability air condition not included in price, internet not included in price, our bedroom window next to the other apartment's table
The appartments were very well proportioned, the bedrooms and livingrooms roomy. The bathroom was adequate and the shower was very good: abundant water and the temperature that you wanted. They also had a good breakfast/restaurant and a good swimming pool. The best was the beach, a sheltered private cove with calm aquamarine water, beautifull and very safe for children. The mattresses were unbelievably hard, so we did not sleep very well for the first couple of days though you eventually got used to them. The other thing is its location. It was very inconvenient for exploring Crete. It is 17 kms out of Chania, so you can go there in the evenings and enjoy the city (though it is half an hour by car, because of the winding road and horrific Chania traffic), but for longer trips it was too far out. So, if you want to relax and not move far it is a perfect location (Stavros has a lot of nice beaches), but for exploring farther away it is very inconvenient.
I liked all the eagerness of the female staff to please every day I stayed there. They went out of their way to provide every request no mattter how busy they were with other matters. I did not like the distance from Hania and the availability of the limited bus service. I did not experience any live music or dancing which I would have enjoyed at least once a week to experience cretean LIFE.The food offer at all times of the day needs a thorough overhall and description of what is on offer and how it is cooked. a notice board at the front of reception informing guests of special menus and available services such has large screen tv for the World Cup is an necessity. Thank you
This place offers fantastic value for money, beautiful location, tasty enjoyable food and a nice chilled out atmosphere - if you want to relax and get away from it all we would hightly recommend it. The staff were very helpful, friendly and hospitable (always smiling) and they made us welcome and offered lots of advice (which we wish we had listed to more as they could have saved us lots of money). Manolis & Yannis were really helpful when we got a parking fine in Chania, if we took their advice before going out we could have avoided that. Also Yannis recommend some lovely dishes from the menu which were all superb. We would definately return if we decided to go back to this region of Crete.Compliments to all the staff we had fab holiday. There's nothing we can think of, everything was perfect.
Excellent snorkling beach, pool, nearby taverna, clean, family oriented and friendly. Better food and quicker servive
The nice view from our room We needed more shade at the windows.
We found Blue Beach to be a beautiful and friendly environment. Both the staff and the neighbors quickly felt like a part of the extended family. The hotel had a nice little playground for children, and the private beach was a wonderful place to relax.
We liked the fact it was out of the way and there-fore quiet. The off season helped in that regard too. Close to ocean swimming. Good for beach walking. Very pleasent and helpful staff who, obviously , enjoy their work.
Facilities Transportation to and fro airport, tourists attrations and towns
Location and view were superb. Great pool; nice outside restaurant. Turn down the music at dinner a little. Not much local atmosphere..hotel seemed built on undeveloped land...no local village.
Comfortable base for exploring the area Dinner was not up to standard; this means, given remoteness of hotel, that one needs a car to go elsewhere!
Very good hotel with nice staff. Excellent sea view Poor menu in restaurant if you don't like fish. A lot of Dutch soldiers every week due to a 3 year contract
Location is very beautiful. Continual construction noise (jack-hammering all day). Lack of sufficient staff. Isolated location means that you always have to eat at the hotel restaurant (which is pricey and so-so).
We were upgraded free of charge to a one bed apartment, which was greatly appreciated. The rooms were comfortable and spacious (apart from the shower room). Beautiful sea views from two private terraces. There was also an open-air communal seating area outside the front door of the apartment. Lovely pool. Fairly easy to find from the airport, even in the dark. The shower room needs refurbishment and would benefit from a different layout.
The location is beautiful and peaceful. The room is well equipped and clean. The owners are friendly and helpful. The pool is incredible, clean, big and deep with an amazing view of the sea. The Greek sewage system is different from ours and collecting the toilet papers in the trash is little weird, but the cleaning lady changed it every day.
The location was lovely, the staff at the apartments were very helpful and friendly. The apartments were very comfortable and the pool area top notch. Highly recommend this place to stay
The hotel owner and his family were very helpful and the swimming pool was beautifully clean as was the rest of the complex I would have preferred shopping/eating facilities a little nearer, but this was not that important.
Excellent location with wonderful pool and fabulous sunset views over the sea. Excellent family run hotel.
1 great location and view 2 proactive and client oriented staff (services proactively provided: documentation for sightseeing, car rental, a good traditional welcome drink). very hospitable and nice people: both attentive and discrete when needed 3 all family speaks English, so there is no communication problem 4 very nice room and very very clean 5 very nice and clean pool. quite surroundings remote: need a car
Very nice place with beatiful seaview. Apartment was clean and good equiped , hotel area nice with many plants and flowers. There are 3 beaches in Stavros, and the distance to the nearest is about 200m. The distance to the sea is about 50m.
The attention of the staff is excellent the rooms cleans ans spacious. The view extraordinary. We like everything.
The staff were very friendly and the area quiet and peaceful which was what I was looking for. Fantastic views of the sea.
Clean well cared for apartment,pool clean, grounds clean,parking easy, no it was a positive experience,(4 about your stay) below this panel does not work!!!
easy, lovely and very quiet atmosphere, all rooms have sea view, well kept surroundings, clean rooms, friendly stuff, sea is just 20 m. from appartments, large pool open from 9:00 till 21:00 there is no sandy beach in hotel, but there is possible to get into the sea through the rocks if you have special shoes. nearest mini market is about 20 min walk away. there is no any problems if you have car.
We have stayed in many resorts in Crete and we have never been shown so much hospitality as we received at Zorbas. We will definitely return!
The location was excellent and private, but close to buses and the city. Car parking facilities were good. The rooms were spacious and the apartment was well set out and maintained. I have accidently taken the safe key home and wish to post it back but can not find the address. Please email back posting details.
We stayed already the second time at Zorbas and loved the place. It is quiet, has a wonderful salt-water swimming pool, is next to the beach and the excellent restaurant Thanasis.
The view There was no stuff in the hotel and the reception was closed...i could not find anyone except by phone or by accident!
Location - close to airport but great beach and pool. Quiet. Very basic, run down room. Lots of mosquitos. No Aircon.
The location of the apartments is stunning. The swimming pool is beautiful and there are some lovely beaches and good restaurants nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful. Our apartment was cleaned regularly. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning! It is quite remote and would be a long walk to local amenities.
Beautiful area, very friendly staff. I did not feel like a stranger, I felt like home. the hotel has a traditional cretan style decoration and the gardens are beautifull. the beach is 3 minutes walk and it is really nice and well-organized. the pool has a great view in the afternoon as you see the sun entering the water.
The peace and quiet. Very relaxing. Dogs being allowed to stay.
Large, 2 bedroom apartment with balcony, 1.5 bath, pool very clean. Very quiet as there were few people there during our stay. Fairly close to drive to beaches. Housekeeping even washed our dishes & got clean towels every day. Short drive to grocery store to buy food and supplies. You definitely need a car for this location. Manager was not always available, only there during certain hours and it was not posted when she would be there. When she was there, she was very personable and attentive to our needs.
Wonderful staff, very quiet. Lovely and clean. No.
A truly enjoyable accommodiation,good location,superb value for money,run by friendly staff.
The view is fantastic Hotel is wonderful but without a car is impossible to go anywhere. Great for honeymooners, very quiet.
Hotel is brand new, in a great location, ideal for relaxed holiday, staff is very friendly. The swimming pool was not clean enough, there is no bar serving drinks or snacks, the reception is only open during breakfast.
Quiet location, good views and good pool. Breakfast included, although choice limited.
the place, the rooms, the service, the pool, the breakfast, the flowers an trees, the wifi, the view, the peace nothing at all
Great views, large room, friendly staff, pleasant environment (garden, relatively large pool, surrounded by olive groves, nice architecture with the use of stone on the buildings and well-kept tasteful garden with many flowers and shrubs). Very good value for money, large room with equipped kitchenette and our verandah had a great sea view. Breakfast leaves room for improvement. Unfortunate that 2 houses were being built (summer '09) close by so partially blocking the sea view of some rooms (thankfully not ours!) and also was a bit noisy due to the construction work. The construction work should be complete by this year though.
The staff was extremely helpful. The room was large. The pool was very nice. The location was great.
Nice hotel for a calm stay. Good sea and mountain view. Staff very helpful .good tavernas closeby. Breakfast is minimum ( It is everywhere in Greece) ! few more utensils and a microwave in the kitchen would be helpful. The shower place was very small and the drain was very slow.
The room was nice, spacious and clean. There was no one there (staff) We had to call the number on the door to get service. The restaurant and bar were closed, unlike advertised. We had to walk through the country to get something to eat. Once I realized the dogs were not going to eat me the walk was actually nice.

With flights from Houston to Dammam with Qatar Airways offering unprecedented levels of comfort and style, your trip to Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province is guaranteed to be a memorable experience. Arrive in the regional capital refreshed after being served delicious cuisine and pampered with our award-winning service.
King Fahd International Airport is in the middle of the desert, surrounded by camels, dunes and Bedouin tents, and is so vast that it's like a city in itself. 50km away is the centre of Dammam, with its numerous modern facilities and attractions. Dine out in the impressive Al-Karia Ash-Sha'abia, or People's Village Restaurant, to soak up the local culture and sample traditional dishes. For boutique shopping, the Marina Mall has everything under one roof, along with international restaurants and much else.
Listed as one of the top 30 busiest airports in the world, the George Bush Intercontinental Airport serves Houston and the southeast area of Texas.
It is Texas' second largest air facility, after Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and offers flights with a number of carriers, including Qatar Airways, to Canada, Central and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Modern and well-organized, the airport is one of the easiest to navigate your way around, thanks to friendly and helpful staff.
Transportation and parking
Because the airport is situated some 26 miles from Houston, the best way to reach the airport is via taxi, limousine service or the regular bus services.
Catch the bus from the Downtown Transit Center station of the METRORail. Buses run every 30 minutes. An underground inter-terminal train outside of the sterile zone connects all five terminals, and a shuttle-bus service also runs from Terminal A to Terminals B and C.
The airport has over 25,000 parking spaces as well as the ecopark, which provides economy parking at the corner of Greens Road and John F. Kennedy Blvd. A free shuttle service connects to the terminals.
Arriving at Houston
International flights including flights from Houston with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal D, also known as the Mickey Leland International Terminal. This state-of-the-art terminal is undergoing re-development to give it a fresh and airy feel.
Terminal D has 12 gates and several international lounges, including an exclusive lounge for the use of Qatar Airways passengers only.
Facilities and amenities
The Terminal D food court is located in the departures area and is home to a selection of eateries, serving snacks, quick meals and coffee.
Several exclusive outlets in Terminal D also sell locally-made Texan products and souvenirs, such as hats, boots and Western apparel. A wellness centre also offers massage and treatments.
Dammam is the third largest city in Saudi Arabia after Riyadh and Jeddah. This modern, forward-looking location also acknowledges its history and past with an eclectic mix of incredibly modern architecture that subtly incorporates more ancient design motifs and features. The result is a city that is stunningly beautiful and an oasis in the middle of a vast desert.
Book a flight to Dammam with Qatar Airways and you'll discover a fascinating city that is beginning to attract more leisure visitors every year. Although a relatively recent addition to the visitor's map in Saudi Arabia, Dammam offers those who come to the city a warm and friendly welcome.
Tourist attractions
Dammam's Corniche is perhaps one of the most popular meeting places for both tourists and locals. Looking out over the Persian Gulf and with a cooling breeze in the evening, this is a relaxing spot that has plenty of cafés and restaurants. A four-kilometre long track allows you to stretch your legs and take in the views.
An extension of the Corniche is Al Morjan Island, a small artificial island with a monument at the centre. But the most striking monument in the city has to be its enormous flagpole, a staggering 60m high and the tallest in the kingdom. It is a landmark that the locals are very proud of, and also serves as a good marker point if you get lost.
Travel considerations
Flights to Dammam with Qatar Airways land at King Fahd International Airport. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. Before you fly to Dammam please check the visa and passport requirements.

Hi, hi!
Happy Monday, friends!
It's Sunday night as I type this and Halloween in Lakewood. I wish I lived in an apartment building that did the trick or treating thing. When I lived in Silver Spring, MD, my apartment building made a whole night of it. I think that's the one downside of apartment living – not necessarily having a neighborhood to give out candy. I hope the children who live in this building are going out to the surrounding neighborhoods! Oh and speaking of trick or treating, I could use some Tootsie Rolls. I may run to CVS and pick some up…
{update… I totally just went and got some… yum!}
Melanie sent me this picture tonight of Liam as a mailman. I seriously can't get over the cuteness.
This weekend was really fun, but on a side note, my old apartment lease was up on Wednesday. Unfortunately, power was out until Friday so I wasn't able to get in there and do last minute cleaning until that night. Todd and I planned to go to the West Side Market People's Party {last minute, we were able to get tickets} but we had to clean first. What a rockin' Friday night it started out to be! At least the old apartment is now a distant memory. Shutting the door to that place just opened the door to so much more…
After cleaning, Todd and I finally made it out to downtown to the party. We didn't get there until 10:15-10:30ish. I heard there was a ton of food at the beginning, but by the time we got there, there was just a little left. The food we did have was great and we had a blast! I guess next time we need to show up on time!
It was held at Crop Bistro {last time I was there was in February with Crystal and Lindsay!} and they used the gorgeous space so efficiently. The People's Party was sold out and with 1,000 people there, it was easy to get lost in the fun.
The highlight of my night was sampling Hungry Bee Rehive Ale from Chef Kimberly McCune Gibson. {Major thanks to Crystal and Mark for giving me one of their drink tickets for this!}. I can't wait to have more of this beer and we won't have to wait long because they will be at Heinen's on Wednesday. Yay
That's all for now! Enjoy the beginning of your week!

We have a lovely Mongolian yurt to let and a beautiful shepherd's hut.
Our lovely yurt is set in its own, completely private three-acre field close to a babbling stream. It is furnished with a double bed, single bed and futon (all bedding upto four people is supplied). Next to the yurt is a kitchen shed with all you need to cook and eat your meals. All you need to bring is your food, towels and wash bag (wellies and a torch are also a good idea).
The shepherd's hut is also set in a quiet corner at the top of the farm, closer to the toilets and showers. It is beautifully fitted out with a 5ft double bed and small child bed, an airbed can be supplied as a small extra cost to accommodate a family of four, or camping is available next to the shepherd hut for older children or extra adults. The shepherd's hut contains a small kitchen with sink with running water and single burner hob. There is also a woodburner to keep you cosy.

1) Josh Barfield
2) Ben Johnson

4) Clay Hensley
5) George Kottaras
6) Paul McAnulty
7) Freddy Guzman
8) Sean Thompson
9) Colt Morton
10) Jared Wells
1) Josh Barfield (2B)
Age: 23, 6-foot, 185-pounds, Bats: R Throws: R
Triple-A Portland: .310/.370/.450
2005 Highlights: Since his breakout year in 2003, Josh Barfield has been one of the Padres most heralded prospects. Barfield started out slowly in 2005, hitting .251 for April and May before catching fire and hitting .343 for the remainder of the season. Not only did Barfield average go up, but his on base and slugging percentage increased substantially as well, he hit 11 of his 15 home runs after June. Although not known for having great speed he still stole 20 bags in 25 attempts, while playing a very good defensive second base.
Negatives: Barfield has started slowly the past two years, but won't have that luxury this season if he is going to replace Mark Loretta.
In order to make the major leagues Barfield must...show everyone why he has been one of the Padres top prospects to come through the organization. Hit, hit with power and field his position. The big league job is his to lose.
Conniff's assessment: As long as the Padres follow the path they established in developing Khalil Greene, ask him to do what has made him successful in the minors, Barfield should respond. He's not a leadoff hitter, or someone that is going to steal a lot of bags, but he will hit the ball hard into the gaps with runners on base, and should put up some good power numbers for a second baseman. he will, however, slump, probably at the beginning of the year. The Padres are going to have to have the confidence that he will fight through it and not bench him the moment something goes wrong. Look for Barfield and Greene to form a Padres double play combination for years to come.
Age: 24, 6-foot-1, 200-pounds, Bats: R Throws: R
Triple-A Portland: .312/.394/.558
San Diego: .213/.310/.467
2005 Highlights: After years of wondering if his play would ever match his potential, Johnson started to emerge in mid-2004 in Mobile and hasn't looked back since. Johnson had a very good Arizona Fall League in 2004, a strong spring training and his best overall year of his career this year. In Portland, Johnson hit 25 home runs and demonstrated that he could play all three outfield positions. He is probably more comfortable in right field, but he claims that his best position is center field. A classic five-tool player who should run more, he will see playing time in San Diego in 2006.
Negatives: Sometimes gets overanxious at the plate, and reverts back to his old habits of chasing balls out of the zone. Johnson has as much raw talent as anyone on the Padres, but needs to control his emotions better.
In order to make the major leagues Johnson must...keep up his confidence. Also the Padres as an organization need to decide that Johnson is the type of player that they need to develop and find consistent playing time for him. They cannot afford another Xavier Nady situation.
Conniff's assessment: Johnson is one of the most talented prospects the Padres have ever developed. However, putting him in the dreaded platoon system as a right-handed hitter could damage a fragile confidence. The team must look to find him playing time if they are going to reap the rewards of his ability. New Padres' first base coach Tye Waller, the former Director of Player Development, should help ease this transition.
Age: 22, 6-foot-3, 175-pounds, Bats: R Throws: R
High-A Lake Elsinore: 1-2 7.01 ERA 9 BB 29 K's
Double-A Mobile: 4-0 3.23 ERA 7 BB 35 K's
2005 Highlights: The Padres number one pick in 2005 had the most successful debut of anyone selected in the 2005 draft. In his contract negotiations, Carrillo requested an assignment straight to Lake Elsinore, bypassing Eugene and Fort Wayne where most draft picks start. The Padres agreed, and Carrillo didn't disappoint. Where Carrillo really shined was in Mobile, promoted after the trade of Travis Chick. Carrillo consistently throws in the 92-96 mph range, with a very hard curve and was dominant in one of the toughest leagues in the minors.
Negatives: Not a whole lot. Carrillo needs to work on his change up, but after that...
In order to make the major leagues Carrillo needs to...have a little bit better change-up. Once that is done we we'll see him in San Diego.
Conniff's assessment: We should see Carrillo in San Diego by mid-season, he will probably bypass Portland as Jake Peavy and Adam Eaton did. The Padres plan to start him in the warm weather of Mobile and, barring injury, he will be in the majors quickly.
Age: 26, 5-foot-11, 175-pounds, Bats: R Throws: R
Triple-A Portland: 2-2 2.99 ERA 22 BB, 71 Ks
San Diego" 1-1 1.70 ERA 17 BB 28 K's
2005 Highlights: Came out of nowhere to become a significant contributor to the Padres NL West team. Hensley, who didn't make the top 30 in either Madfriars.com or Baseball America last year, emerged as someone who could consistently throw a hard sinker in the low 90's at a batter's knees, which is going to get a lot of people's attention. At Portland this year, his most impressive statistic was not his BB/K ratios, but the ability to get batters to drive his hard slider into the ground. In 90.1 innings he only allowed 63 hits, holding batters to a .190 batting average. In San Diego, this time as a relief pitcher, he experienced the same success only allowing 33 hits in 47.1 innings with a 1.70 ERA.
Negatives: As with Carrillo, Hensley needs to develop a little better change-up as a third pitch. Also, some question his ability to go deep into games as a starter.
In order to make the major leagues Hensley needs to…keep on performing like he did this past year.
Conniff's assessment: Hensley should be the Padres #4 starter this year, and by the end of the season he could be the #3 starter. He may become the best starting prospect the Padres have developed since Jake Peavy, that is until Caesar Carrillo comes along.
Age: 23, 6-foot, 180–pounds, Bats: L Throws: R
High-A Lake Elsinore: .303/.390/.469
Double-A Mobile: .287/.397/.416
2005 Highlights: After a very good 2004 in Fort Wayne, Kottaras caught forty-two more games this year than he ever had before, and he held up despite concerns that his relatively slight frame couldn't withstand the punishment. A sweet left-handed stroke, with the ability to hit the ball hard into the gaps and draw a walk, Kottaras epitomizes the type of player that San Diego is trying to develop. Additionally, he handled the jump to Double-A very well, posting an .813 OPS.
Negatives: Not the biggest guy in the world behind the plate, he still had some problem with the transfer from the glove to his arm when attempting to throw out runners.
In order to make the major leagues Kottaras must...show that he has the stamina to catch 140 games in the major leagues, while maintaining his offensive performance.
Conniff's assessment: Kottaras defense came a long way this year, and he continued to show that he can hit at any level. A very good player, the only thing preventing a higher ranking was that he only had 101 at-bats above A-ball. If he has another year like the past in Mobile/Portland, he'll be the top prospect for 2006.
Age: 25, 5-foot-10, 220-pounds, Bats: L Throws: R
Double-A Mobile: .282/.364/.453
Triple-A Portland: .344/.405/.563
San Diego: .208/.321/.208
2005 Highlights: The best pure hitter in the San Diego system. P-Mac continued to prove that his breakout season in 2004 wasn't a fluke, especially after putting up some serious numbers at Portland. As a corner OF/1b, P-Mac must continue to not only hit, but also hit with power. McAnulty also went a long way to proving that he could be a credible MLB outfielder, even starting a game in LF for the Padres in September.
Negatives: Must continue to work on his athleticism, so he can have other options besides first base.
In order to make the major league McAnulty must...continue to have a slugging percentage in the high 5's at Portland to force his way into the major leagues. In other words, hitting will take him where he wants to go.
Conniff's assessment: P-Mac will begin the year in Portland, and depending on a lot of factors could get a mid-season call-up. His big opportunity will come in 2007, with the expiration of Ryan Klesko's contract. McAnulty will have this year to prove he should be the successor.
Age: 25, 5-foot-10, 165-pounds. Bats: S Throws: R
2005: Injured Reserve
2005 Highlights: None. Underwent arm surgery to repair an injured elbow after spring training. Still the best leadoff prospect because of his outstanding speed and strong baserunning skills.
Negatives: Absolutely no power, and in his trip to the majors in 2004 showed that he is vulnerable to the inside pitch. Also, despite his speed, some questions if he has the arm to play center field at PETCO.
In order to make the major leagues Guzman must...first show he can hit in Portland again. After that show that he has the arm to play center field. Guzman will never be a home run hitter, but he has to prove that he has the ability to put the ball into the gaps, which could make him a triples machine in San Diego.
Conniff's assessment: Leadoff hitter is one of the biggest voids on the Padres, and Guzman will be given every opportunity to demonstrate that he can handle it in Portland. If he has a big first half in Portland, it could spell a trade for Dave Roberts at mid-season.
8) Sean Thompson (SP)
Age: 23, 5-foot-11, 160-pounds, Bats: L Throws: L
High-A Lake Elsinore: 4-1 2.16 ERA 13 BB 45 K's
Double-A Mobile: 4-5 4.67 ERA 55 BB 94 K's
2005 Highlights: A great year in Lake Elsinore, but struggled in Mobile. Thompson has a big curve, a very effective change up, but for Sean it all begins and ends with his fastball, which tends to go up in the zone.
Negatives: Command of his fastball. If Thompson can keep it down and hit his spots, it sets up his best pitches.
In order to make the major leagues Thompson must...take a guess – command his fastball. Also, with such a slight frame Sean must continue to prove that he has the stamina to go deep into games to remain a starter.
Conniff's assessment: Still the best lefty in the system, and the second best pitching prospect in the system. Thompson will be a little more comfortable in Mobile this year and should be promoted in mid-season to Portland.
Age: 24, 6foot-6, 230-pounds, Bats: R Throws: R
Low-A Fort Wayne: .261/.362/.464
High-A Lake Elsinore: .323/.407/.646
2005 Highlights: This is finally the year where Colt Morton emerged, especially at Lake Elsinore. Morton credited a shortened swing and more patient approach at the plate, which not only resulted in a .646 slugging percentage in LE, but more importantly a .407 on-base percentage. A good defensive target, Morton has as much upside as anyone in the system because of his size and power.
Negatives: Needs to refine his release a little more, and as always, his plate discipline will determine his success as he moves forward.
In order to make the major leagues Morton must...continue to show that he can hit with power and patience along with meeting the defensive demands of catching.
Conniff's assessment: Morton will probably start the season in Lake Elsinore, with Kottaras in Mobile. Both should be promoted at mid-season and the jury is still out whether Morton will have the same type of success in Double-A, which is the biggest jump in the minors.
Age: 24 6-foot-4, 200-pounds, Bats: R Throws: R
High-A Lake Elsinore: 11-3 3.44 ERA 26 BB's 80 K's
Double-A Mobile: 2-5 4.40 ERA 16 BB 22 K's
2005 Highlights: As with Morton, another player whose performance is beginning to match his potential. Jared throws in the low 90's, but the big reason for his success this year was the emergence of his slider. A physically imposing prospect, Wells showed the ability to go deep into games at Lake Elsinore.
Negatives: He needs to get an effective off-speed pitch, and continue to work on his slider.
In order to make the major leagues Wells must...continue his education as a pitcher and refine his talent, the ability is always there. Trust his stuff.
Conniff's assessment: Wells should start the year in Mobile, and probably will be in Portland by the end of the year. He could be a candidate for a back of the end rotation starter in mid-2007. Right now he's still trying to catch up to his natural talent.

Lance Armstrong apologizes to staff of cancer foundation
By Corrie MacLaggan
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Former champion cyclist Lance Armstrong apologized to the staff of the cancer foundation he started on Monday, the same day Oprah Winfrey was scheduled to interview him in what is widely expected to be his first admission of doping.
"He had a private conversation with the staff, who have done the important work of the foundation for many years," said Livestrong Foundation spokeswoman Katherine McLane.
"It was a very sincere and heartfelt expression of regret over any stress that they've suffered over the course of the last few years as a result of the media attention," she said.
The apology came as Armstrong was scheduled to tape an interview with Winfrey to air on Thursday -- his first interview since being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.
The disgraced cyclist plans to admit in the interview to doping throughout his career, USA Today reported on Saturday. McLane declined to comment on whether Armstrong will admit to doping during the interview.
"Armstrong will address the alleged doping scandal, years of accusations of cheating, and charges of lying about the use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout his storied cycling career," according to a press release from Winfrey that called the event a "no-holds-barred interview."
Armstrong has always vehemently denied using performance-enhancing drugs and has never been proven to have tested positive.
But an October report from the U.S. anti-doping body USADA cited Armstrong's involvement in what it characterized as the "most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen," involving anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, blood transfusions and other doping.

Working with Emotions - Meditation Weekend
Mindfulness Meditation Weekend
"Working with Emotions"
Anger, Jealousy, Fear - sometimes it feels overwhelming when emotions rule our daily life and experience, disturbing peace and equanimity of mind. But when we learn to really be with them, instead of compulsively acting on them, they provide the colorful energy for compassion towards ourselves and others. Buddhism points out ways to befriend our emotions on the basis of awareness as a useful resource in our daily life and on our spiritual path. Instead of rejecting our emotions as uncontrollable troublemakers, we see the potential of our relationship with them to connect us with the wisdom of our inherent nature. We can step beyond our habitual emotional patterns and realize that we don't have to exclude any aspect of our being.
The weekend introduces to mindfulness meditation and includes practice, talks, contemplations, exercises and discussion.
The programme starts Friday at 19.00 and ends Sunday afternoon at 17.00.
This weekend will be taught in French. Translation into English is available.
The "Working with Emotions" retreat will also take place on the following dates:
- 25 - 30 June 2013 : 4 days retreat (taught in English)
- 01 - 03 November 2013 : week end retreat
"Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we're holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we'd rather collapse and back away. They're like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we're stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it's with us wherever we are." Pema Chödrön

How to navigate the convention center?

Posts: 1,160
This will also be my first time at Anaheim Convention Center. So for me i am just going to wonder around and figure things out.
I remember when i attended AX at LACC for the first time in 08 I had no idea how to get around that convention center as well, but after the first day i started getting the hang of it remembering the rooms and where they were located.
so same will be for AM2 I will roam the Halls and try and figure things out lol.
for parking i am staying at a hotel down the street so i have no need for parking at the ACC. I would think it would be somewhere around $15-$20 for the day just like LACC. but i could be wrong after all they are a different venue.

It's official: Quantic Dream's upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive Beyond: Two Souls will be released October 8th in North America (other territories not disclosed) thus clarifying the confusion surrounding David Cage's enigmatic tech demo during Sony's "Future of PlayStation" event in New York, February 20th.
Also announced was Willem DeFoe playing a character in the game named Nathan Dawkins. Sony has stated that DaFoe's character is, "an enigmatic scientist working for a top-secret government division studying paranormal activity. His professional curiosity in Jodie, driven by personal tragedy, is a central theme in Beyond: Two Souls." (As quoted from IGN).
Those curious about DaFoe's character in the game (who is very reminiscent of Norman Osborne) can check out the videos below.

Bob Odenkirk
Dax Shepard
Will Arnett
Chi McBride
Printer-Friendly version
Instead, we're left with Dax Shepard and a script that was probably originally written on toilet paper. It tried hard, but all of the jokes are recycled from funnier movies and Arnett is the only one in the film with any sense of comedic timing. I'm still not sure how Dax ever made it off of Punk'd, but once again he proves that he's not funny and has no screen presence. The handful of funny moments are entirely carried by Will Arnett, but even Gob flashbacks aren't enough to make this film bearable.
I also expected much more from Odenkirk, who did a great job with Mr. Show. I really wanted more than prison rape jokes and toilet humor. He had the talent in Arnett to put a clever spin on the prison satire, but the effort just wasn't there. There were also three different writers credited on the screenplay and that probably has something to do with the "confused" feel of the story. The film takes a long time to get where it's going and when it finally does get there, it doesn't know where to go.
The frustrating thing for me is that I really wanted to like this film and cheer on a Development alum. Will Arnett really is a funny guy and he deserves better than this. All of the jokes were predictable and I felt like I knew the punch-lines before the jokes were even told. I also got the feeling at times that the film took itself too seriously, which is a very bad thing for a slap-stick comedy.
Deleted and Extended Scenes (4:33): None of these are really that funny, but Will Arnett is great in them. You have to give the guy credit for at least trying to be funny when no one else around him is putting in any effort.
Let's Go To Prison Soundtrack Sessions (6:12): The frustrating thing about this soundtrack promo is that it's the longest feature on the disc, but it's just a shameless plug for the soundtrack and the band that provided the music. Furthermore, the microphone on the guy doing the interviews sounds like it was messed up, so it's hard to hear him at times. Only watch this if you love the music in the film.

Unlike old style BMW motorcycles: dry clutch, separate engine oil from transmission oil, engine with crankcase - these late model BMW's (at least my k1200s) have no crankcase, engine and transmission share the same oil, no heavy flywheel, clutch immersed in oil, oil is located in a separate tank (under the seat). This is a design to enhance performance and lower the center of gravity of the engine for better ride balance. It looks like because of this design, when a rider shut the throttle, there is a tendency for the engine to totally shut off (because of lack of flywheel). To compensate for that and to avoid the total shut off of my engine, I really pay attention to the rpm of the engine particularly in the low gears. It would not want to be idling in third or second gear. It's got to be 1st gear and higher rpm as much as possible. With that in mind, it has been pretty safe ride.
Good luck and ride safe.

Hawthorne Hotel's Flags of the Week ~~ August 23 through 29, 2010
This post is for those of you who still do not know that this is our effort to help the people who live in Salem, and visit the area, remember that we are part of the larger place called the World, and that the simple act of recognizing another country's existence through the flying of their flag can be a useful exercise in that quest for a more peaceful World.
I hope you enjoy thinking about that concept, and taking a look at our daily flag changes.
This week we will be flying:
Monday , August 23 ~~ Niger and Massachusetts
Tuesday , August 24 ~~ Nigeria and Michigan
Wednesday , August 25 ~~ Norway and Micronesia
Thursday , August 26 ~~ Oman and Minnesota
Friday , August 27 ~~ Pakistan and Mississippi
Saturday , August 28 ~~ Palau and Missouri
Sunday , August 29 ~~ Panama and Montana
Of course, if we receive any special requests, these could change, so check back here often. And if YOU want to make a special request, please call 978-825-4322 or 4444.
I hope to see you here.
2 comments:
I live off of the Common and love the flags of the week at the Hawthorne, but I think that while Mississippians may have voted to keep a racist symbol in the left hand corner of their state flag, the Hawthorne Hotel should exercise more integrity and sensitivity before flying what is, in effect, the Confederate flag in the middle of downtown Salem. I am deeply troubled to see it in my neighborhood.ReplyDelete

Linux and Android meet again
After many very busy days where I couldn't find a minute to post anything, things start to get back to normal. Unfortunately, I have had no option but to delay some reviews I was working on, but I hope I can share them in the next few days, Ubuntu 12.04 and Fedora 17 among them. Today I wanted to share some interesting news about Android and Linux, good news in fact. Most people claim Android uses the Linux Kernel, which is not incorrect, but not that many know that the Linux Kernel had dropped Android support since two years ago. Fortunately, Linux Kernel 3.3 embraces Android back and is the first release to include its drivers after that long gap. Being a big fan and user of both Android and Linux, I am happy to see them reunite. Hopefully the issues that set them on different paths are now solved and their unity truly translates into more strength.

A Greater Fear than Falling
Since I've been slacking on posting fresh material, I figure I'll just keep digging in the archives. Below is a piece I published in the Mountain Gazette many years ago. Admittedly, it may be a little over-written. But I enjoyed writing it and was happy to see it published.
The jagged shale that lines the walls and a great portion of the bottom of Flathead River is rivaled only by the coldness of the river itself. By August, the water has warmed from springtime temperatures, but northern Montana snow melt never really warms so much as sags to a cold burn. Into the North Fork, in these conditions, my cousin Ryan and I had decided to jump.
We had left our kayaks tucked in an eddy, and the cliff tore apart in our hands as we scaled it from the water. At about twenty-five feet, we confronted our ignorance of what lurked beneath the river, and I motioned Ryan to stop. Although we had just swum in the fast, frothy water below, all of the rocks and submerged ledges had not been disclosed to us. We decided this was high enough, but, wanting to best his older cousin, Ryan leapt first.
"Did you hit bottom?"
"No," he gasped. So, I jumped in where he did. As I emerged, he must have seen my face.
"You hit bottom."
"Yes," I said, wincing, unsure whether it was a grievous injury or just the water. I swam into the eddy, crawled painfully up the sharp, fractured rocks and dragged myself into the boat. It was only a gash on my foot. I smiled up to the sun, which, along with the dry air, warmed me quickly; I was soon off, chasing Ryan into the next set of rapids.
To take the leap into cold, unknown waters is, for me, a sublime activity. As a pastime, jumping from heights is almost primal in its allure. Cliff-jumping is not base-jumping, however, and a joy-seeker should not conflate it with diving from the La Quebrada cliffs of Acapulco.
Rather, it is a more pedestrian event – a stunt that explorers of the old West would have indulged after a long haul through treacherous territory. Indeed, I do not consider the sport "extreme" – a term so tired that even the mocking of its usage is trite.
Cliff-jumping is a simple pleasure – a pure act born from childlike curiosity that thrives on the potent formula of forsaking personal control to comfortless heights and the unknowns of natural bodies of water. Those variables always make you stop, even if just for a second, and look inward before stepping from the edge.
Most of the time, it is not the height that gives me pause; it's the water temperature. I'm afraid of being so shocked by sudden immersion that I may forget to swim – a definite possibility when doing a river jump.
Rivers, as opposed to lakes, move. Upon entry, you are propelled, sometimes into objects you were aiming to avoid.
On the Middle Fork of the American River in California, there's a mandatory portage of a thirty-foot waterfall called Ruck-a-Chucky. To facilitate the ride, some companies, such as AO Rafting, send unmanned boats over the falls and retrieve them at the bottom.
To capture the boats, guides must take what's known as "The Jump". The job entails springing ten feet off a fifteen foot ledge into a small eddy pool that forms behind a boulder resting mid-river. As soon as you surface, you have to swim hard to the rock or be swept downstream – an occurrence that can keep you under for an unpleasant time while rinsing you in eddy wash called the "Wooggedy-Wooggedy". While the act could be viewed unnecessary, I deem it thrilling – but it does not equate to a true cliff jump.
A cliff jump is more akin to running down a dock and launching into a mountain lake. To many people, the genre does not appeal, but dock-jumping holds a special place in Americana – an act reminiscent of Huckleberry Finn and, in our time, of advertisements for Country Time lemonade and Oppenheimer mutual funds.
I've always been exposed to bodies of water – oceans, lakes, rivers – and I consider myself a good swimmer. But I also have a fertile imagination when it comes to what else is in the water with me. When you start running down a dock, you can't just stop at the end. You're committed, and there's always the possibility that an open-mouthed crocodile is waiting for you. Splinters be damned. An unforeseen encounter with a croc can abridge the whole adventure. With cliff jumping, the perceived danger is probably greater than the actual threat, but occasionally a mishap does occur.
This unknown factor provides much of the thrill. By voluntarily soaring into an uncomfortable yet survivable situation, you are abstracting yourself from the every-day. After you escape a ledge, nothing enters your mind. In fact, all thoughts take flight, the world departs and black water rushes to meet you. This is why, in my estimation, an ideal cliff jump is between thirty-five and forty feet. From this height, there is enough elevation to make you uneasy, but not enough distance to allow time for thinking.
It is not just the temporary reprieve from life. There is also the scare. How often anymore as adults do we really allow ourselves to be frightened? Being scared is a state largely brought on by uncertainty, and people tend not to enjoy that. Most live their whole lives walking the precarious line between being stuck in a rut and trying to maintain a predictable existence. So, a lot of people are afraid to take a leap into unfamiliar waters. That's fine; not everyone needs to. But subscribing to absolutes – having "No Fear" – is an emotionally stunted position to take. I think it is for this reason why I disavow those who are "extreme" in the same way as I reject extremism and extremists.
True, cliff-jumping may not be the answer. Given all of the variables to the activity, it can be dangerous; but then again, so can going for a bike ride.
Unfairly or not, cliff-jumping has acquired a terrible reputation. The problem is that the deed is associated with dead or paralyzed teenagers who had drunk too much down at an old rock quarry and felt they could perform the impossible. This is unfortunate because some of the best jumping can be found on historic ground.
The oldest marble quarry in the U.S. is in the town of Dorset, Vermont, just north of Manchester on Route 30. Opened in 1785, the quarry has long since been abandoned and is filled by natural run-off.
As popular, deep, graffiti-strewn swimming holes go, this one has its share of stories about bodies at the bottom, unrequited love, and mutant fish. Despite the tall tales, the Dorset quarry's redeeming quality is a series of ledges of different heights that fall into water which, in most places, is at least one hundred feet deep. The most popular cliff is about thirty feet high. The most dangerous cliff is near the back, roughly forty-five feet off the water. While you could throw yourself off the thirty-footer in almost any manner and be threatened only by meningitis, the forty-five footer is a bit more caustic. There are several large and shapely chunks of marble submerged in deceptively shallow positions that you need to steer between.
This is the type of jump that cautionary tales are made of. Once you step off that ledge, it is nearly impossible to alter your trajectory. So, depth-perception problems are not what you want to bring to this feat. In all cases, reading the water's depth is obviously important, for reasons of safety as well as for gauging the potential in a site.
A good example of this need is evinced by a forty-foot cliff on the northeastern edge of Relief Reservoir in California's Emigrant Wilderness. At first glance, the water appears shallow, but that's because the approach is hindered by undergrowth. Upon further inspection, the pellucid water is so deep you can't see bottom. Consequently, a jump site that normally would be overlooked is one of the best I've seen.
This cliff was a unique find for a couple reasons, mostly relating to its aesthetic qualities. Jumping is not just invigorating; it can be a pleasure to watch, especially when you see the happiness – and relief – on someone's face afterward. The sounds are crucial, moreover. Whether or not you shout, if you are at any height greater than twenty-five feet, the air slips past your ears so fast that all they pick up is a deafening whir.
For the witness, though, jumps generally consist of a terrific combination of three sounds: an echoic "whoo-hoo," followed by the slap-splash of impact, and then the gasp and "yeah" of when the person emerges. At Relief Reservoir, the hollowness of the cliff made these sounds sing across the water, to such an extent that people came out of woods to jump with us – although we were nearly five miles from a trailhead!
Sharing a jump is a great feeling, but too many people at a spot can hinder the experience. Maybe this is because I view cliff-jumping as a sort of renewable secular baptism – an act that should be performed only among friends. So, there are few things more appealing to me than an undiscovered jumping spot.
My last cliff jump was exactly this. It occurred at Big Lost Lake, north of Ketchum, Idaho, three weeks after Flathead River. Only a couple miles in from a trailhead, the lake nestles at the bottom of a scree field and appears to be a caldera, though it is not. I was hiking with my friends Jamie and Devon, and we had spied the lake from the ridge above, where we were at about 10,000 feet and decidedly off-trail. We skied the scree almost right down to the water; at the bottom, Jamie promptly found a jumpable cliff. He and I are like-minded in our pursuit of good jumps.
Our ankles still smarted from the scree, which also lined the lake bottom, so we knew to keep our sneakers on – a move that should be considered for almost any jump. This leap wasn't complex, but it did require some calculating to determine exactly the best place to aim for. Jamie leapt first and was successful. I was ready to go, but hesitated, thinking of my foot.
As I stood about to jump, I entered the trance of being on the edge of a rock over water – the state in which, after a while, nothing of the world exists but thoughts of jumping. Often the thoughts partake in a dialogue in which Hope and Fear – or, many times, two Fears – try to outweigh each other.
Standing atop that cliff, one Fear looked down to the water and said to me (a third person distinct from the two Fears), "There is nothing but jagged rock just ten feet under the water, but if you fling your arms out, you won't go as deep."
The Second Fear said, "It's fifteen feet deep, not ten; and even if you do keep your arms out, this is a thirty-something foot drop. You'll slap your arms pretty hard."
The First Fear said, "There's also a submerged boulder that you'll have to jump to the right of."
The Second Fear said, "But if you jump too far to the right and not far enough out, you'll be sure to clip the overhang below."
That's how you know when you've thought too much – when you entertain a dialogue between You'll probably hit the bottom and You're sure to hit the bottom. But I didn't quit thinking entirely, though I did switch subjects.
It's human enough to be afraid, whether of the unknowns of the looming water or the world at large. But I profess that venturing beyond your comfort zone every now and again can be beneficial. I don't want a life of swimming pools and diving boards. How much they are missing who will not embrace human vulnerability, and all our tentative gestures.
I thought all these thoughts, and more besides, then plunged neatly into the cold water.

The jump component of S&P 500 volatility and the VIX index
Becker, Ralf, Clements, Adam, & McClelland, Andrew (2009) The jump component of S&P 500 volatility and the VIX index. Journal of Banking and Finance, 33(6), pp. 1033-1038.
|Accepted Version (PDF 232kB)
Much research has investigated the differences between option implied volatilities and econometric model-based forecasts. Implied volatility is a market determined forecast, in contrast to model-based forecasts that employ some degree of smoothing of past volatility to generate forecasts. Implied volatility has the potential to reflect information that a model-based forecast could not. This paper considers two issues relating to the informational content of the S&P 500 VIX implied volatility index. First, whether it subsumes information on how historical jump activity contributed to the price volatility, followed by whether the VIX reflects any incremental information pertaining to future jump activity relative to model-based forecasts. It is found that the VIX index both subsumes information relating to past jump contributions to total volatility and reflects incremental information pertaining to future jump activity. This issue has not been examined previously and expands our understanding of how option markets form their volatility forecasts.

The Will-Burt Co. is once again extending its global presence.
ART NOLLETTI feeds his wife, Vera, who has Alzheimer's disease. Rather than put her in a nursing facility, her family has opted to keep her at home and take responsibility for her care. KeLinda LaMaster-Flory photoThe company recently finalized an agreement to supply telescoping mast systems for the Yin Tao Golf Club in Shanghai, China, through Wealinks Development Ltd. of Hong Kong.
The four masts will be installed at the nine-hole course to provide lighting for nighttime golfing.
Will-Burt international sales manager Don Barlow said there is a need because "it is quite warm and sunny during the day and it's preferable to play at night."
Unlike typical lighting poles, the telescoping masts -- generally used for emergency lighting -- allow the lights to be lowered during the day, so the view of the course is not obstructed. "It is a fairly exclusive club and the managers didn't want the lights to interfere with the view of the course," Barlow said.
The masts were designed to be extended to a height of 47 1/2 feet at night and will retract to 10 feet during the day. Barlow also said this is the first time the telescoping masts have been mounted in the ground.
Barlow said Will-Burt's involvement with this venture began in 1996 when company representatives traveled to China and Hong Kong as part of the Ohio Gov. George Voinovich's mission to the Far East in 1996.
In early 1997, Will-Burt was contacted by Wealinks, a Hong Kong lighting company, which had become familiar with Will-Burt as a result of the governor's mission. Wealinks was negotiating with Yin Tao to supply the lights for the course and contacted Will-Burt to provide the telescoping masts for the lights.
According to a news release from the company, each mast system includes a remotely controlled air compressor as well as an extendable wiring assembly with electrical junction boxes, light fixture support and mounting hardware.
Barlow made three trips to China during 1997 and two trips in 1998 to talk with representatives and managers of the golf club. Although the negotiations went slowly -- well over a year -- Barlow said he enjoyed working on the project and that it has opened doors to expand Will-Burt's involvement in the Far East.
Barlow said the idea for nighttime golfing could also be promoted in other Pacific Rim countries and even the southern United States.
Will-Burt also manufactures towers for the emergency vehicle lighting, cellular and broadcast industries.

So I'm straightening my hair the other day and I look over at this little peacock feather hair piece thing and think -- that would be such great inspiration for a whole bathroom.
Often on Saturday nights I get ready for going out while listening to
Broadway tunes on public radio. It has a very 20s, retro vibe that for
some reason fits with peacock in my head.
I'm thinking a light blue or aqua paint on the walls, maybe with vertical stencils in a peacock blue? Not sure what type of image. Silver accents/fixtures.
How can I run with this? Ideas? I'm not big on physical feathers, but something about them is inspiring me. My bathroom is totally white at the moment, but it has light green grout. I should add that I love color and am not afraid to go bold.
Here's a pic.
Hi there! I was just passing by this board when I saw your post Here are my ideas... (sorry, lots of PIPs)
You could use the colors of a peacock as the inspiration for your bathroom:
For ex, with the blue and yellow, you could have:
You could also play with the room's accessories: window or shower curtains with peacock feathers, prints, or colors such as
or light fixtures like:
or wall patterns like in this peacock bathroom:
Here's a blue, white, silver bathroom with a peacock mirror (I love it!):
ClaudiaKishi:I like the ideas from above. I probably wouldn't do any stenciling of peacock feathers, but use the colors from the feather and possibly a peacock shower curtain. I feel like if you stencil it's sort of overkill.
I'd go with a teal or green on the walls. I really like that light fixture.
