Moving to England for a year for hubby's work, with kids (7 & 9 years old) who love travelling, visiting places and exploring the countryside.. We are all very excited at the prospect of all the experiences in store for us..
However, the costs of tickets to all the major sights will start adding up..So would love any advise on any passes/memberships we could take advantage of.. or would 2for1 tkts be our best option?
would National Trust membership make sense?
Will be in London for 4 weeks and then will be located in Surrey. would like to see highlights of London at a very leisurely pace and catch a few shows during our 4 weeks there before the kids start school..
so far we have visited the science museum, Natural history museum and the Hyde park..and bought a LP guide..
Any advise would be welcome!!

There are a gazillion great places to go in London with kids - plus many brief day trips:
In London:
Tower of London
British Museum
Museum of London
Regent Park
Kensington Gardens/boat sailing
Imperial War Museum
V&A Museum (selected sections, check the web site)
In the outskirts (try to go one way by boat) - 30 minutes or less by train:
Greenwich Maritime Museum
Windsor Castle
Hampton Court Palace
If you google kids activities here and in some guide books you will find tons of others.

would National Trust membership make sense?
Yes, absolutely.

Some museums have free entrance such as the ones you have been to, Science and Natural History and the V&A.
Report Abuse
The 2 for 1 deal with train and/or TfL tickets is effectively free, so you'd be mad not to use it as much as possible.
National Trust membership covers only a tiny proportion of Britain's historic sites - and those sites (almost entirely historic houses till recently inhabited by toffs, and their surrounding estates) are generally of limited interest to young children. Properties accessible with English Heritage membership have almost no overlap with NT properties, cover a much wider range of varieties of historic buildings and a significant proportion of its estate is free to enter.
Familiarising yourself with the websites of these two organisations is a good way to start seeing what's available.
There are several other groups of generally historic attractions, not covered by either membership:
- Royal palaces (http://www.hrp.org.uk/ ). Generally requiring payment, though there IS a membership scheme. Brighton Pavilion, Holyrood House and Buckingham Palace are not covered
- Anglican cathedrals and a few major Anglican churches also require a fee from visitors, and don't have a common website. Other churches' cathedrals are free - as are our 9,000 medieval churches
- Oxford and Cambridge colleges ( https://www.ox.ac.uk/visitors and https://www.cam.ac.uk/about-the-university/visiting-the-university ) . Charge visitor admission in some cases
- Other historic houses. The biggest historic houses (like Blenheim and Chatsworth) are private businesses. They have a trade association (http://www.hha.org.uk/ ) and a friends programme that MIGHT offer value for money
- Major regional museums. Most major regional and provincial museums and art galleries, and the national museums in Merseyside, are free to enter
- Other art galleries. The National Art Pass (www.artfund.org/ ) offers free or reduced admission to most galleries (like the Royal Academy, the Courtauld and a couple of thousand others) that aren't free to enter. Like the NT and EH, well worth using its website to see what there is: a large proportion of British galleries have excellent child-oriented outreach programmes.

National Trust for Scotland membership is cheaper and gives you free entry into nearly all NT properties for free - Stonehenge is a notable exception. Nt membership also give entry to NTS properties.
NT membership, and I assume NTS membership, also gives free parking at NT sites, with a sticker in your car, saving you quite a bit of money for many of their glorious areas of countryside.
The NT is not only stuffy stately homes. They have large areas of countryside, watermills, the entire village of Lacock, industrial heritage sites and increasingly smaller, working class homes too.
Their website (imho) stinks, but it will give you an idea of what they have, and costs so you can decide whether membership is worth it. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/ and for Scotland www.nts.org.uk/Home/

you will find that some museums are free but the carpark charges are through the roof, so monitor both.

Thanks everyone..that's some great info!
i will look into NTS and National trust membership.
commuting for the next month using the Oyster on the tube.. and wondering how I can take advantage of the 2for1 for the London sights as we are located in Canary wharf and will not be using the National Rail..(but I do have tkts from last week)
So am I right in thinking that the best bet for theater tkts is from the TKTS counter at Leicester square and getting tkts for the same day?..which will be easier now than later when we are located out of London.
London bridge & London eye and Lion King are high on the kids list at the moment.
Would also love a recommendation for the best book for country walks..saw a couple at the Waterstones and wasn't sure which one to pick..(by BBC/National trust/Country Walking magazine etc.)
Report Abuse
>>as we are located in Canary wharf and will not be using the National Rail..(but I do have tkts from last week) <<
Doesn't matter if you never set foot on a train. Simply buy paper travelcards from any train station (Liverpool Street, Waterloo, London Bridge - whatever). These travel cards get you all the same travel as an Oyster.
Unfortunately, last week's tickets won't work -- they have to cover the same day(s) you visit a 2for1 site.
You would probably want to buy 7-day zone 1-2 travel cards and also Oysters w/ some Pay as You Go ££ to cover journeys outside zones 1-2.

I've never done a comparison of the many different guides to country walks from London, but there are also plenty online. The Time Out guides look pretty good to me (they're all designed with getting there and back by train from central London), but I'm not sure if they're a bit too demanding of 7 and 9 year olds!
Report Abuse
Look at the family ticket price vs two adult tickets at the places you want to go. Often there isn't a big difference so the 2for1 isn't a big savings especially if you need to pay extra for the paper rail ticket or travel card.

There is the big (like coffee table sized) '1001 Walks in Britain' by the AA.
Report Abuse
The best walking books are those that will fit into an anorak pocket and can be read in the rain.
Failing which, the perfect walking book must be able to be legible when squashed, open at the relevant page, into a clear plastic pouch you can hang round someone's neck (obtainable at all outdoor shops). This means you'll get through a couple in a year, and it MUST be a paperback, or a collection of cards.
In our climate, there's no such thing as weather unsuitable for walking. There's also very little likelihood of a walk taking place entirely in weather that makes it easy to read unprotected books.

The family deal is often good, I normally adopt a couple in the queue with Mrs B so we can make a foursome to get those prices

Wasn't there an American organisation which was reasonably cheap but had reciprocal membership of the likes of NT & EH?
Watch out for family tickets, they can be substantially cheaper than 2-4-1 or any other offers.
You might also want to consider looking at the Art Fund which gives discounts on many exhibitions and reduced or free entry to museums & properties.
Do watch out for Heritage Open Days in September
http://www.timeout.com/london/things-to-do/open-house-london-our-highlights (the real website for London appears to have been hacked)

Yes, Royal Oak Foundation is the American partner of the National Trust. I was about to suggest comparing the family membership rates when I noticed the OP seems to already be in London. The question might be can they join and receive membership materials at a UK address. Same benefits and printed materials, free entry and a free parking sticker. Check here:

oh I envy you! We were in London for four months in 2010 and loved every minute of it. In fact, we're leaving for a London/Edinburgh trip in a couple of weeks but just for two weeks this time.
Has anyone mentioned London Walks? (I can't seem to post links but try walks dot com).
We did many of them -- interesting, inexpensive, knowledgeable guides, fun.
The kids would probably enjoy the London Eye. I was a little disappointed because the cars were so stable (better for the adults, I think) but the view is great. (try londoneye dot com)
We also loved Borough Market -- have lunch there and buy food to take home, and thought Camden Market was lots of fun. Probably more fun for then kids than Covent Garden, though that's very nice. From Camden Market you can take a gondola ride down the canals. If fact, if you google Top Twelve London Markets, you'll get a great list.
And of course the kids will enjoy the top deck of the double-decker buses.
All of the museums have good cafes where the prices are reasonable and the one at the V&A is particularly beautiful. There are free concerts in a lot of places but the one I can remember off-hand is St. Martin-In-The-Field.

Thanks everyone!!a goldmine of information, I could not have found on any guide book.

janisj , With hubby working and only able to go site seeing during the weekend..I may opt out of the 2for1 offers for the moment and focus more on walks, free museums and markets with the kids ..hopefully the weather will hold..but will keep the paper travel cards in mind..

Other thoughts on walking:
- London itself is fantastic. Its extraordinary green-ness plus its transport system plus its river and canal paths make amazing things possible: you can walk from Canary Wharf to practically anywhere in Britain without mixing with traffic.
There are loads of London-specific walk books (I used Andrew Duncan's Walking London for years), mostly with shorter walks than Ramblers go in for: but it's probably better to browse the selection in a really good bookshop. Waterstone's in Piccadilly has dozens, as has Foyle's in Charing X Rd and Stanfords in Covent Garden to a lesser extent: I'd get one majoring on our big parks, semi-rural neighbourhoods and the footpaths linking them and one just guiding you round alleys and twittens in the older parts of the centre
- Once settled. Every newsagent and small bookshop (they're still there) in suburbia has a handful of different titles called something like "20 nice walks round here". They all carry a different selection of walks within 10 miles or so of where you are.
- More widely. The Ramblers Org is mostly about Serious Walking. Pathfinder books tick many boxes for ordinary mortals (like size, shape, convenience and child-friendliness). But a great project for a bright 9 yo is to get a 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey map centred on your new house (from the OS site or from specialist retailers like Stanfords), and use it to teach him/her to be your guide.
Anywhere that's not central London will have dozens of public footpaths - and believe me, at 9 learning to decode the map centred on your house transforms your life. The discovery of how much information can be crammed into a piece of paper will be the perfect antidote to Bleeding Pokemon.
At that point, you can decide your own walks. Before you know where you are, you'll have the complete OS set for SE England.

From Epson you will have plenty of local walks to choose from. An obvious one would be Box Hill (I think there's a direct bus from Epsom), but there's quite a variety of walks in the Surrey hill and heathland areas.

My daughter and I just returned from a 10 day trip to the UK. It was a wonderful time. I'm envious of your opportunity.
Regarding Leicester Square Tkts - you can buy tickets one day in advance depending on availability. Last week we bought tickets for Beautiful for the following day's evening performance. 79 pounds for two 8th row center stalls seats. We got to the ticket booth about 20 minutes before 10am and were about 10th in line.Fabulous show.
V&A was astounding - such a huge collection. A perfect example of sometimes more is better. And the fountain pool in the courtyard was quite popular with kids on the super hot day we were there.
The Princess Diana fountain also was hugely popular with kids - again it was a very hot evening and it seemed all of London was in Hyde Park.
The line to the Natural History museum was enormous - we didn't brave it.
Report Abuse
Re TKTS -- Getting there before opening is fine -- but it is usually just as good/better to arrive later in the day. Noon-ish the queue can be quite long but later in the day the line tends to be short. And at the end of the day there is often no one in the queue. Yes, one might miss out on some shows, but new seats do get released during the day.
Fridays and Saturdays the lines average longer throughout the day
Report Abuse
Hi Shaima - its been great so far! although have been getting a whole lot more rin that the first week
thnx for the tips on TKTS - really looking forward to some shows..Will may be watch just one this month and postpone to after summer, for hopefully better seats and better prices during winter.
Report Abuse
>> postpone to after summer, for hopefully better seats and better prices during winter.<<
Unfortunately it doesn't typically work that way. Summer and especially August is the 'down' season for theatre and the arts in general. New theatre productions and museum exhibitions tend to premier in the Fall and after the first of the year. In summer it is mostly tourists attending the theatre, but the rest of the year it is tourists plus everyone else.
Report Abuse
Oh we were really hoping to go watch lion King, but seems so expensive with TKTS not selling any discounted tkts now..
Report Abuse
Lion King is often offered at TKTS (in fact they are showing tix for tomorrow evening) - but just not discounted. Lion King really doesn't discount because it pretty much sells out every night and has for years.
It may seem expensive - but would be more expensive on Broadway.

Out of town speakers from within North America will have airfare and hotel covered 100% by the conference. Speakers get full access to all days of the conference and are invited to a speakers-only dinner during the event.
What is NOT covered for speakers is any health/travel insurance or government document fees (i.e. passport). Also unfortunately we're not able to accomodate non-North American speakers at this time.
Sessions are 60 minutes in length. Lecture style is common, but we're also open to hearing any hands-on coding lab ideas.
The call for speakers will close at midnight on Friday, February 24th. Speakers will be notified if they were or weren't selected by Tuesday, February 28th.
Prairie Dev Con was born out of an idea to bring a big-conference feel to smaller markets. An organization can send multiple employees to Prairie Dev Con where they may have only been able to send one person to an out of town conference. We typically get approximately 150 attendees out to the conference.
We look to the local community to provide insight into desired topics. Head over to our Topic Survey Page to see the most recent rankings of topics.
Possibly. Our sibling conference, PrDC Deliver, had one room of sessions recorded courtesy of InfoQ. InfoQ edited and posted the videos to their website (you can get links to see those recordings by clicking here). We'll be talking to InfoQ to see if there's any interest in recording for Prairie Dev Con, but if that happens speakers will have the opportunity to opt-out if they aren't comfortable.
Yes! We expect all attendees and presenters to abide by our code of conduct. Visit our Code of Conduct page!

Around these parts, Sunday's NFL action is a mere warm up for Monday night's showdown between the Patriots and Texans. But there's no shortage of excitement elsewhere around the league. So, let the Alphabet be your guide to Week 14, as we all celebrate the arrival of our country's future first female president and Heisman Trophy winner: Vivian Lake Brady
(That's Brazilian for "newborn baby girl")
A is for A-OK
Thats Ben Roethlisberger, apparently. After missing three weeks with a separated throwing shoulder, Big Ben will be back under center on Sunday as the Steelers host Norv Lombardi Turner and the flailing Chargers.
On one hand with the playoff race heating up, Charlie Batch existing as his only real backup and the rumors that some folks in the organization thought that Roethlisberger should have played last week you understand Bens desire to get back on the field. But you cant help but wonder if its in the teams best interests.
First of all, theres no way hes 100 percent. And yeah, no ones 100 percent at this point, but Roethlisbergers clearly still hurting. Second, the Chargers are dead; 75-year-old Dick LaBeau could lead the Steelers to victory on Sunday. And finally, after this, Pittsburgh heads down to Dallas in Week 15, and then hosts the Bengals in Week 16 in a game that may very well decide the identity of the AFCs No. 6 seed.
So why not give Roethlisberger one more week to get himself together?
Why rob the world of a long-awaited Charlie Batch vs. Norv Turner rematch?
(Then again, there's no way it could live up to the original. Twelve years later and that thing's still an absolute masterpiece.)
B is for BELOVED
Wow, what a play by Griffin! Ill tell you what, thats some pure RGII magic right there!
I'm paraphrasing Jon Gruden from last Monday night, after Robert Griffin III fumbled (without being touched) inside the red zone and was lucky enough to have the ball bounce straight to a Redskins receiver, who then ran it in for a touchdown.
"Great play by Griffin!" Say what, Chuckie?
And he's not alone. At this point, it doesn't matter what RGIII does. People just love to love him. So much so that it's frightening to think what might happen if he's able to lead the Skins to a fourth straight win this Sunday against Baltimore. And considering the Ravens D is a week removed from giving up 275 passing yards to Charlie Batch, we might find out.
Griffin still deserves a ton of credit, though. Over the Washington's three-game win streak, he's completed 73 percent of his passes for 667 yards, nine touchdowns and one interception. He's also averaged 61.7 yards a game on the ground, and for the season, leads the NFL in yards per carry and is on pace to rush for 952 yards.
And the cherry on top? As Gruden can attest, there's not a player in the league who's better at fumbling the ball to a teammate.
C is for CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT
You could probably use that term to describe more than a handful of teams in the NFL, but over the years, no squad has embodied "consistently inconsistent" quite like the Giants. And this year, the defending champs are back in the consistently inconsistent saddle.
They started the year with a brutal home loss to the Cowboys. They followed that by winning six of seven games and gaining a seemingly insurmountable stranglehold on the NFC East. They follow that by losing three of four games, and now lead the Cowboys and Redskins by only one game in the standings.
On Sunday, they'll look to break out against the Saints, who boast a horrific defense that should do wonders for Eli Manning's confidence. Then again, the Giants defense hasn't been that sweet either. Over the last three games, opposing QBs have posted a 106.4 rating with six touchdowns and one interception.
D is for DRUNK TANK
At 6-6, the Vikings are playing for their post-season lives this week against Chicago, and linebacker Chad Greenway wants Mall of America Field to be rocking.
"We have to play accordingly and our fans have to show up accordingly, which we know they will, he said. Hopefully, they're super-duper drunk . . . So drink liquor, not beer."
For the Vikings' sake, let's hope the Bears defense shows up wasted as well. Minnesota's now lost six straight games to Chicago, and they've been held to 14 or fewer points in each of their last five tries.
Also, a quick tip for Greenway: If you're serious about wanting to encourage drinking, I'd recommend hiring someone to walk around the pre-game tailgate and ask questions like: "Hey, you guys see that Percy Harvin's out for the year?" "So, anyone have any thoughts on Christan Ponder?"
E is for EYE ON THE 30th
With last week's amazing comeback against Detroit, the 8-4 Colts are in the driver's seat for a spot in the AFC playoffs. Here's why:
1. They're already a game up on the competition.
2. The competition (Pittsburgh and Cincinnati) plays each other in two weeks, meaning one of them is guaranteed to pick up another loss.
3. This week, Indianapolis hosts the terrible Titans. Remember the Titans? Of course you do. They're losers of four of their last five. They boast the league's 31st ranked defense. They're in total shambles, with an eye already on next year.
Meanwhile, the Colts remain focused, but with one eye on December 30. That when doctors think Chuck Pagano might make his triumphant return to the sidelines. It's hard to imagine a better source of inspiration heading into the post-season, or a more fitting development in this already made-for-Hollywood season.
F is for FINALLY
It's very likely that these next four weeks will mark our last chance to watch Norv Turner patrol the sidelines as an NFL head coach, and I know I'm not alone in hoping that Turner goes out in style.
Maybe the cameras will catch him nodding off on the sidelines this Sunday in Pittsburgh? Or the Chargers will blow a 20-point fourth quarter lead next week against the Panthers? Or maybe he'll absentmindedly jog out on the field without any pants on in Week 16?
Regardless of how it unfolds, it's the of an era. Please join me in taking a moment to honor the great coach's career with a 21-failed-challenge salute.
G is for GREEN GOO
Speaking of soon-to-be former coaches, it appears that Rex Ryan's made peace with the end of his tenure with the Jets and has shifted all focus towards tormenting owner Woody Johnson.
In the saga's latest installment, it was reported this week that, with Tim Tebow injured, Woody wants Greg McElroy to start at quarterback on Sunday in Jacksonville. (By the way, there are great seats still available).
Naturally, Ryan named Mark Sanchez his starter. And at this point, Woody might be better off working a little reverse psychology on Sexy Rexy:
"Hey, Rex. Woody here. Just wanted to let you know how encouraged I was by that loss to the Jaguars. Seriously, man. Keep up the good work! Keep rolling out Sanchez every week! Keep feeding the ball to Shonn Greene those 3.8 yards per carry are unstoppable! Just keep being you, Rex! Nothing could make me happier."
H is for HENNE FEVER
Chad Henne came back to Earth last Sunday, completing only 19 of 42 passes for 202 yards, a touchdown and an interception in the Jaguars blowout loss the Bills. However, Adam Schefter reported this week that Jacksonville will have "no problem" going with Henne as their 2013 starting quarterback.
Well, I can think of a few potential problems, but with the Jets coming to town on Sunday, here's the obvious question: Why not just trade for Tim Tebow?
I know I'm not the first person to suggest this, but it just makes so much sense. Even if it's just as a back-up until Henne flames out or gets injured next season. Why not take a chance? They'd hardly have to give up anything. In fact, there's a good chance Tebow just ends up being released.
Bring him on board. Stir up some excitement. Make the Jaguars relevant again.
Maybe even win some games?
And if that doesn't work, theres always Vince Young.
I is for INTERCHANGEABLE
Note to all you superstar running backs out there: Don't get hurt, because there's another superstar in waiting right behind you on the depth chart.
That may be overstating things a little, but isn't a little strange how we keep saying these barely known, often undrafted running backs take over for injured superstars and rocket to the top of the league?
For instance, Bryce Brown in Philadelphia. He was the the 229th pick in this year's draft. Barely a blip on the NFL radar coming out of Kansas State.
Lesean McCoy gets hurt, Brown goes in . . . and he's a star. In his two starts since taking over for McCoy, Brown's rushed for 347 yards, which is the second-highest two-game total in Eagles history! Andy Reid, man. That guys just a genius.
Brown has his work cut out for him on Sunday against the No.1 ranked Buccaneers defense.
J is for JUMP START
The Buccaneers are one of four 6-6 teams in the NFC, and right now, all four would miss the playoffs. But a favorable schedule leaves Tampa with lingering hope for a late season run.
It starts on Sunday, when they'll host the fully-imploded Eagles. Next, they'll head to New Orleans to take on a Saints team with nothing left to play for. In Week 16, they play Rams before wrapping up the season in Atlanta against the Falcons fifth-stringers. So yeah, there's a chance.
But only if Doug Martin wakes up. The Muscle Hamster's averaged only 60.5 yards a game over the last two weeks (both TB losses), and unless he's rocking the playoffs won't come a knocking. (And yes, I hate myself for writing that sentence)
K is for KONTROVERSY
There's no easy way to handle a quarterback controversy. Not everyone can be as fortunate as Bill Belichick and watch their back up change the world. The truth is that it was only a matter of time a matter of the 49ers' first post-Alex Smith defeat before Jim Harbaugh started taking some real heat for his decision to role the dice with Colin Kaepernick.
But Harbaugh's sticking with his guy. He's convinced that CK is the man who can bring San Francisco back to the promise land. Kaepernick has another chance to convince everyone on Sunday in Miami, against a sturdy Dolphins D.
And a Dolphins franchise that the Niners haven't defeated in over a decade.
L is for LAW FIRM
The BenJarvus Green-Ellis Era could not have gotten off to a more inauspicious start in Cincinnati. You need evidence? Through nine weeks, BJGE didn't have a single 100-yard game and had as many lost fumbles (3) as he did touchdown runs.
But over the last three games, the Law Firm has become more powerful than Bendini, Lambert & Locke. He's become the first Bengals back since Corey Dillon in 1999 to register back-to-back-to-back 100 yard games, and has been an essential part of Cincy's four-game winning streak.
On Sunday, he'll face a Cowboys run D that ranks in the middle of the pack. But also one that's only a week removed from giving up 169 yards to Bryce Brown.
M is for MAKE OR BREAK
On the topic of BengalsCowboys, this could very well be a make or break moment for both.
Dallas stands at 6-6, and while they're a long shot to win a Wild Card spot, the NFC East is still up more grabs. Unless they lose, in which case the division will still be up for grabs, but the Cowboys just won't be in the running. As for Cincy, they'll presumably have to keep pace with the Colts and Steelers (who both have cupcake home games). A loss, and they'll be a game back, with a must-win game in on tap for Week 16 in Pittsburgh (where the Bengals have only won once since 2006).
N is for NEGLECT
The Ravens will be "on the road" in DC this week to take on the surging Redskins. In doing so, they'll look to avoid their first two-game losing streak since 2009.
And if that's the plan, then the Ravens might want to consider getting Ray Rice involved. In last week's loss to Pittsburgh, Rice only got 12 carries, and made only one catch out of the backfield. He didn't touched the ball once in the fourth quarter.
Keep it up, John, and your brother won't be the only Harbaugh getting panned in the media.
O is for OFFENSIVE LINES
This story is behind ESPN's pay-wall, so apologies if you can't get through with the link, but this week the guys at Pro Football Focus completed an in-depth study of every offensive line in the NFL. They analyzed every single aspect of the position. According their results, here are the top five offensive lines of 2012:
1. San Francisco
2. New England
3. New Orleans
4. Cincinnati
5. NY Jets
And here are the worst five:
32. Arizona
31. Chicago
30. Jacksonville
29. Carolina
28. Indianapolios
Now, five knee jerk reactions:
1. God bless, Bill Belichick
2. Poor, Jay Cutler
3. Maybe Cam Newton's received a little too much criticism?
4. Andrew Luck really is that good.
5. Mark Sanchez really is that bad.
P is for PATIENCE
The Buffalo Bills have had one winning season this millennium and are just about guaranteed to miss the playoffs for the 13th straight season. Their fans are among the most tortured in professional sports, and to be honest, things still don't look that bright for the future.
But good news, Buffalo. According to general manager Buddy Nix, you just need to be patient: "We're headed in the right direction," Nix said this week. "But when you declare your goal is to build the team through the draft, then it takes patience."
But here's some real good news: This week, Russell Salvatore, of Russell's Steaks, Chops and More purchased more than 10,000 tickets to Sunday's game against the Rams to prevent a second straight local TV black out.
That's just Russell's Steaks, Chops and More being Russell's Steaks, Chops and More.
Q is for QUIET QB
A slow start put Russell Wilson behind the eight ball in the race for the title of NFL Most Heralded Rookie (no seriously, that's a thing.) And it certainly hasn't helped that he shares a rookie class with two of the most celebrated rookie QBs in recent NFL history.
But either way, Wilson belongs in the conversation. He hasn't done it with the fan fare of Andrew Luck or RGIII but he has the Seahawks at 7-5 and (thanks to a favorable schedule) he's likely headed to the playoffs.
Like most of the Seahawks, Wilson done his best work at CenturyLink Field, where he's undefeated (5-0) with 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions.
This week, Seattle host the Cardinals, who have lost eight straight games, and in the process, their will to live.
R is for RECORD BREAKER
Watching the Lions find new ways to lose games has been one of the more entertaining subplots of the season. But with Detroit's playoff hopes now in the gutter, they're turning their attention to a new sideshow in the motor city: Helping Calvin Johnson break Jerry Rice's record for most receiving yards in season.
Rice set the record in 1995 with 1,848 yards and with four games left, Megatron only needs 420 yards to set a new standard. This week, Lions OC Scott Linehan said that he'd "love" to see Johnson break the record, which means you can expect a lot of targets headed Megatron's way this week in Green Bay.
Where, by the way, the Lions haven't won in 20 years.
S is for STREAKING
Here's an interesting nugget I read this week on ESPN's NFL Nation Blog: Heading into Sunday, the Browns have gone 44 games without a three game winning streak, which ties them with the Panthers for the second longest stretch in the league. The only team with a longer drought? The Rams who haven't won three straight in 92 games.
Well, this week, both the Browns (vs. KC) and the Rams (at Buffalo) take the field with two straight wins under their belt, and a very winnable match-up lying ahead.
While the Panthers quietly pray for disaster.
T is for TECHNICALLY ALIVE
I RIP'ed the Saints season after they lost to San Francisco in Week 12. I threw another layer of dirt on their grave after last week's loss to Atlanta. But thanks to some help from the rest of the NFC pack, New Orleans is still alive heading into Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium.
I picture Drew Brees sitting in the coffin right now, trying to punch through the wood like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill 2. But I have a bad feeling that the Giants are about hit the Saints with a Five Point Exploding Heart Trick.
U is for UPSET SPECIAL
Tough times for the old Upset Special. With the Titans loss last week, I've now dropped two straight and sit at 4-6 for the season. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures, so this is as desperate as I can get: Panthers over Falcons.
Why? Well, the Falcons needed a last second field goal to beat Carolina in Week 4, and that was at home. In the time since, Cam Newton has come back to life; Asante Samuel has left a hole in the Falcons secondary; Atlanta has already wrapped up the NFC South and have a way too comfortable edge for the NFC's No. 1 seed.
I say the Panthers catch them sleeping.
FINAL SCORE: Carolina 35, Atlanta 31
V is for VIVIAN
One more shout out for the newest addition to the BradyBunchen clan. Thanks for coming on a Wednesday, sweetheart. You have no clue how much that means to us.
W is for WEARING DOWN
The Bears still boast one of the more terrifying defenses in the league, but the unit suffered a big blow this week when it was revealed that Brian Urlacher will miss the rest of the regular season with a hamstring injury.
That's not exactly the kind of news you're looking for when there's a date with Adrian Peterson in your very, very near future. And it doesn't help that corner back Tim Jennings (the NFL's leader in interceptions) has been ruled out for Sunday with a bum shoulder.
It's enough to drive coach to get super-duper drunk.
And I'm talking off liquor, not beer.
X is for EX-GIRLFRIEND
Peyton Hillis and Joe Thomas have been slinging mud in the media this week in anticipation of Sunday's ChiefsBrowns game. It began when Thomas criticized the way the former Browns running back handled his last season with the team: "He was everything people knew about him -- hard-working, blue-collar, tough, would do anything for anybody on the team," Thomas said of Hillis. "All he cared about was winning, and then all of a sudden the next year, all he cared about was trying to get his new contract."
Hillis responded: "Joe Thomas, he can have his opinions all he wants. It's kind of like a crazy ex-girlfriend, you know? It's been over a year. Get over it."
Truthfully, I'm not sure where I stand on this debate, except to say that an ex-girlfriend that looks like this would be the ultimate Madden Curse.
Y is for YOLO
"You Only Lose On-Sunday" - Norv Turner, from his forthcoming memoir: "Words to the Wise, with Norv Turner"
Z is for Zee Ya Later
That's all for this week.
Enjoy the games.

Library Streaking & Life Safety Issues
An all-student e-mail from Steve Klass and Sarah Bolton begins:
Students streaking through the library during Reading Period has been a tradition for many years. We'd like to call your attention to a couple of significant risks involved with it and ask you to reconsider this activity.
Entire e-mail is below the break. Comments:
1) When did the streaking tradition start? Presumably it was after co-education began in the early 70's . . .
2) I was surprised at how big a deal it has become:
The streaking in Sawyer Library during last December's Reading Period put a huge number of people at great risk of bodily injury. Thanks to social media, the building was well beyond fire code capacity by the time the streaking began. The marble steps and connecting walkways on the upper floors were absolutely jammed and impenetrable, blocking all egress. Students leaning over the railings on those connectors were crushed up against the waist-level restraining walls, putting them in danger of breaking through or falling over the railings.
Was it really that bad? Can anyone send us a picture (not of the streakers, obviously, but of the crowding)?
3) Will this plea cause students to change the tradition? Predictions welcome!
So, we ask you to please take the well-being of others to heart and come up with another way to achieve the same fun objectives in a safe and responsible manner.
The obvious replacement would be an outside event, perhaps a circular route around the new green space at the center of campus, or perhaps around the Science Quad. Suggestions from readers?

Latest Sexual Assault Report
From Dean Bolton:
I write, as I do each year, to update you on our work in sexual assault prevention and response, and to report how our disciplinary processes and other accountability processes have been used over the previous year. On the advice of the student members of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Group (SAPA), we present data from the previous year (in this case 2014-2015) each spring.
The more transparency the better. Key paragraphs:
In the 2014-2015 school year, the college received 10 reports of sexual assault, as well as one of dating violence, three of stalking, and one of retaliation. Of these 15 cases, 13 involved people who were still members of the college community, and so were eligible for college accountability processes. The other two involved individuals who are now alumni or were not members of the Williams community.
Of the 13 individuals reporting these incidents, six have chosen to take part in investigation and adjudication through the college as of now (three cases regarding sexual assault, two cases regarding stalking, and one case regarding retaliation.) Investigation and adjudication through the college remain an option as long as the respondent is a member of the college community.
Two of the three cases of sexual assault resulted in findings of responsibility, as did one of the two cases of stalking and the case of retaliation. All students found responsible for these violations were separated from the college. One student was expelled, and the others were suspended for terms ranging from one semester to two years.
My comments will be similar to last year's, starting here. Regular readers have noted that I only got through 8 of the promised 10 days of analysis. Shall I give it another shot?

Bolton to Wooster
News from last fall:
Today is a great day for Williams and an even better day for The College of Wooster. That's because the people at Wooster have made the extremely wise decision to ask Sarah Bolton to be their next president—and she has made them very lucky indeed by saying yes. She'll begin in her new role July 1, 2016.
Entire letter from Falk is below the break. Comments:
1) Is anyone else surprised that Bolton settled for the College of Wooster? Senior Williams administrators who seek college presidencies usually do better than 61 on the US News rankings. Nancy Roseman to Dickinson, Cappy Hill '76 to Vassar, Steve Lewis '61 to Carleton and Mike McPherson to Macalester are all examples of Ephs going to colleges with more resources, prestige (and higher presidential pay, probably) than Wooster. Perhaps Bolton has family in the area or some other personal reason for the move? Perhaps the market for college presidencies has gotten more competitive? Perhaps Bolton does not do well in an interview setting? Perhaps she settled too quickly? Informed gossip welcome!
2) Overall opinions on Bolton's tenure? EphBlog had many fewer problems with her than we had with Nancy Roseman, but that is a low bar. Athletes (especially football players) I have talked to had some negative things to say about Bolton, especially in regard to how she investigated the infamous football skit of a couple of years ago and how she dealt with a couple of sexual assault investigations. Surely it counts in Bolton's favor that she did not fight to preserve the neighborhood system, although I am not sure if she was the primary mover in bringing back the campus wide lottery. If she was, kudos!
3) Predictions/advice on her successor? The Dean of the College has been a woman over 10 (?) years. (And isn't it annoying that there is no place to look up the list past Deans and their tenures?) Falk, like all Williams presidents, would like to ensure that at least one of the big three administrative positions (Provost and Deans of College/Faculty) is filled by a woman. But, since the current Dean of the Faculty (Denise Buell) is female, he could go either way for Dean of the College.
4) EphBlog nominates Professor Eiko Siniawer '97! She is a former chair of CUL, so she has at least some interest in administration. She is an alum, so she has an excellent understanding of student life. And she is an excellent person!
Other nominations?
Censor Student Speech
Professor Sam Crane's comments (and here) about Uncomfortable Learning merit further criticism. See last week for background.
I was, in fact, trying to restrain my anger at the immediate presumption that Williams faculty routinely censor student speech. Such a serious assertion should be accompanied by concrete evidence, not snide guesses about our favorite caffeine drinks.
What more concrete evidence can we offer besides Professor Crane's own comments? Critics claim that Williams faculty/administrators don't want students to invite speakers like Venker to campus. (I hope that Sam won't rely on weasel words like "routinely" and "student.") Isn't that exactly what Sam wants, to deprive Uncomfortable Learning of funding so that they can't afford to bring speakers to campus? If this isn't what he wants, then just what is his complaint?
But that is not today's deliciousness. Sam has been spewing invective about the students (and alumni) behind Uncomfortable Learning, suggesting that they have broken all sorts of college policies. Fortunately, random political science professors are not responsible for enforcing the rules. That honor goes to Dean of the College Sarah Bolton. So, all Sam needs to do is to inform Bolton about his concerns. She will surely jump in to bring the right wing rabble to heal!
Not so fast! Dean Bolton was asked about the Venker Cancellation during a conference call with class agents last week. You can listen to the entire call here. Go to the 16:40 mark to here the question and Bolton's reply.
Too lazy to listen? Allow me to summarize: Dean Sarah Bolton likes Uncomfortable Learning! She had (almost) nothing negative to say about them. She seemed to share none of Sam's concerns about their lack of registration, their shadowy sources of funding or their contact with alumni. In fact, she was sad that Venker did not come! "There is no need to rescind that invitation." She wants Williams to "be there for them," i.e., for the student leaders of Uncomfortable Learning. She wishes that they had reached out to her before cancelling. She is interested in "How we can bring conversations that might be difficult or uncomfortable to campus, and have that go well."
So, sleep well Professor Crane! Dean Bolton is firmly on Team Uncomfortable Learning. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to rules and regulations. If Dean Bolton has no objections, then why would you?
UPDATE: Post changed to provide link to Williams' page with the call audio.
Fairness in Discourse
Professor Sam Crane's comments about Uncomfortable Learning merit further criticism. See Monday for background.
Maintaining a certain fairness in discourse, not privileging some voices because they have more access to money than others, is a principle that, I suspect, Gaudino would defend.
Agreed! But this is precisely the principal that Williams, to some extent, fails to uphold. Neither Williams College, nor the Political Science Department, nor the Lecture Committee succeed to "[m]aintaining a certain fairness in discourse." Indeed, all of them are much more likely to bring progressive/liberal/Democratic speakers to campus. Would even Professor Crane deny this fundamental reality of campus discourse? Other than speakers brought by Uncomfortable Learning itself, how many libertarian/conservative/Republican speakers have come to Williams in the last three years? If Professor Crane doesn't believe in "privileging" left-wing "voices" over right-wing "voices," he is doing a very bad job of acting on those beliefs.
Consider a concrete example: Rutgers Professor Donna Murch '91 gave the 2015 Davis Lecture last week. Excellent! The more speakers with diverse viewpoints, especially alumni, that Williams brings to campus the better. But where is the speaker this fall or in all of 2015 or 2014 — outside of Uncomfortable Learning itself — who is much an Eph of the right as Murch is an Eph of the left?
Nowhere. Professor Sam Crane has done nothing to bring non-liberal/progessive/Democratic voices to campus in the last few years. (Contrary opinions welcome.) And that is OK! Sam is a busy guy, with teaching and research obligations. But, if he is not going to take the trouble to help maintain a "certain fairness in discourse," the least he could do is to stop attacking those Ephs who are working on it.
Code of Conduct Changes
An all-student e-mail from Dean Bolton:
From: Sarah Bolton
Date: Friday, 9 October 2015
Subject: Something Important to Read this Reading Period
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dear Students,
I hope you are well as we head into the weekend. I'm writing today to invite you to do another kind of reading. Attached below is important information; the Code of Conduct, rules about file sharing and copyright (particularly important for downloading movies and music) , and the Honor Code. While some of what's here may be familiar, there's also new information. Here are some highlights of changes.
-The definitions of sexual assault, relationship abuse, retaliation and consent have been updated based on recommendations from the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness committee.
– An amnesty policy has been created for students reporting sexual assault, which means that students reporting assault that took place in the context of the use of alcohol or drugs won't face any college consequences regarding alcohol or drug use.
-A new medical amnesty policy has been created for students seeking medical help for themselves or others in the wake of alcohol or drug use.
-New information about how to download movies, music and other media while staying within the bounds of law is being provided.
Of course, all of this information is also available online, but since we have these important updates, I wanted to send it out to you as well, so that you can easily review it.
My best wishes to you for a good long weekend and reading period,
Dean Bolton
Here (doc) is the document. Should we spend a week going through it?
Sexual Assault Report I
The most recent annual report on sexual assault is out. Let's spend 10 days talking about it! Today is day 1.
1) Below the break is the version mailed to students. I think that this is the same as the web version. And, as always, thanks to our sources!
2) Why isn't Meg Bossong '05, Director of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, the author of this report, rather than Dean Bolton? Bossong has been at Williams for almost a year and has, by all accounts, committed herself fully to the job. Bolton is a busy person, so why doesn't she delegate this important and time-consuming work?
3) This gets to the question of Dean Bolton's attitude toward sexual assault at Williams. Being a charitable person, I want her attitude to be a good one: Williams should fight to decrease the incidence of sexual assault, but not at the cost of due process for accused students. If an informed observer, like former faculty member KC Johnson, thinks that Bolton is balancing these concerns in a reasonable way, than kudos to her! But I am concerned — and more than one (male) student has echoed similar sentiments — that Dean Bolton is more of a social justice warrior (SWJ) Dean, someone less interested in due process than she ought to me.

NESCAC Alcohol Survey
The latest from Dean Bolton:
From: NESCAC Deans
Date: Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 4:19 PM
Subject: We need your help! An important message from the NESCAC Deans
To: X
Dear X,
Williams, along with the other institutions in NESCAC (Amherst, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Conn College, Hamilton, Middlebury, Tufts, and Wesleyan), is conducting its second-ever survey to understand current students' alcohol use and the alcohol culture on each of our campuses. Your participation in this project, whether you are a drinker or non-drinker, is critically important. Your response will be completely confidential, so please answer all questions honestly. On Sunday, you will receive an email with a link to the online survey, and we hope that you will take 10-15 minutes of your time to answer the survey when you receive it.
Your contribution is crucial for us to obtain an accurate picture of the role of alcohol in the student experience on our campuses. The results of the common survey will enable us to assess the current state on our individual campuses and then be able to compare those results to true peer schools. Our hope is that the results will help reveal best practices, allow us to develop and implement better services, programs, and policies to meet your needs, and suggest innovative initiatives for our campuses. The survey, which we have developed, is one that we will aim to administer every three years, allowing us to measure changes in the alcohol culture on our campuses.
We want to assure you that your responses to the survey will be kept strictly confidential. All data collected will be shared in aggregate form only.
We hope we can count on your participation in this important project and want to thank you in advance for taking the time to do so. If you feel uncomfortable answering any question, please feel free to skip that item. If the survey does bring up any questions or concerns for you, please contact your Dean's Office or your Student Health or Counseling Center.
Thank you for your assistance in completing this important research project. Your honest responses to the survey questions will enable us to develop programming, policies and services that further promote and safeguard student health and well-being.
Sarah Bolton
Dean of the College
Williams College
NESCAC should make the aggregate data public. Transparency is a hallmark of serious academics. Will they? I doubt it.
If I were a student, I would ask Dean Bolton. If she/NESCAC refused (or even refused to say), I would campaign against the survey by encouraging students to answer it with extreme responses.
Below the break is the (poorly formatted) list of other NESCAC signatories.
Racial Stereotype
Another absurd e-mail from Dean Bolton:
From: Sarah Bolton
Date: Monday, December 8, 2014
Subject: Concern From the Weekend, and Support
To: email@example.com
Dear Williams Students,
I write to inform you about a concern that has arisen over the weekend. As many of you are already aware, on Saturday night several students reported to me a photograph showing six Williams students who appeared to have dressed in costumes imitating a racial stereotype, including [What Do You Think Goes Here?].
As is the case when any concern is brought to the attention of my office, we are looking into this matter in order to understand fully what took place and how it may relate to the college's code of student conduct.
This is a very difficult time for many students, and we are setting up a variety of opportunities for gathering or supportive conversation this week. In addition to their regular daytime operations, the Davis Center will be staffed for the next three nights from 7-9 pm and the Chaplain's office will be open in the evenings as well, from 8-10 pm. There is a workshop for students wondering how to be allies from 7-9 pm at Hardy House. There is a Stress-busters tonight at Paresky. And, the deans are available to work with students who are struggling to move forward their academic work in this difficult context. Please don't hesitate to come by or contact any of us.
Dean Bolton
Obviously, I have left out the key phrase. Here are some options:
1) gang colors and grillz.
2) false mustaches and sombreros.
3) Irish country hats and shillelaghs.
4) horned helmets and fake braids.
5) Indian headdresses and "war paint."
The cynics among you will instantly dismiss 3) and 4). No Dean at Williams would complain about dressing up like this or this. Those are white caricatures! Making fun of white people is OK!
Answer is 2! Can you believe it? I would have thought this was a spoof. (And maybe a student is spoofing me! Corrections welcome.)
My thoughts on this are the same as always.
First, we need an Eph Style Guide. That was a good idea ten years ago. It is a good idea now.
Second, does Dean Bolton enjoy these mini-controversies? (Insider comments welcome.) If I were Dean, I would find them boring and annoying. If she does not enjoy them, she could decrease the number of complaints that come to her office by not sending out so many all-campus e-mails. The bigger the deal she makes about these stupidities, the more of them will come to her door.
Third, if I were a trouble-making non-liberal student. I would come to Dean Bolton with a similar complaint (about, say, a student wearing a Che Guevara or hammer-and-sickle t-shirt) and demand that she send out a similar all-campus e-mail about that.
Does anyone have a copy of the photo? Send it in. Future historians will thank you!
End Racism
Is this the most ridiculous all-student e-mail by a Williams administrator in a decade or an EphBlog spoof?
From: Sarah Bolton <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: Mon Nov 24 2014 at 9:34:50 PM
Subject: Tonight
To: <email@example.com>
Dear Students,
Tonight the grand jury announced that there would be no indictment in the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO. No one will be held legally responsible for his death, and yet he was killed, and terribly so. Tonight communities across the country stand together in solidarity, seeking justice and an end to racism, so that all people can be safe from harm in their communities.
I write tonight in support of all who are thinking of Ferguson and of Michael Brown's family, whether in gatherings or alone. And, I write in hope that all in the Williams community will continue to work to end racism in all of its forms — with all that we have.
Dean Bolton
1) EphBlog has a long history of parodying administration communication. If we just showed you this e-mail without commentary, would you think it real or fake?
2) It is real! Let's examine the e-mail that Dean Bolton did not send:
From: Sarah Bolton <email@example.com>
Date: Dec 1 2014 at 9:34:50 PM
Subject: Tonight
To: <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Dear Students,
Tonight police charged a third person in connection with the brutal murder of Zemir Begic. Tonight communities across the country stand together in solidarity, seeking justice and an end to racism, so that all people can be safe from harm in their communities.
I write tonight in support of all who are thinking of St. Louis and of Zemir Begic's family, whether in gatherings or alone. And, I write in hope that all in the Williams community will continue to work to end racism in all of its forms — with all that we have.
Dean Bolton
Background reading from CNN here. Why does Dean Bolton write all students about the death of a black man but not the death of a white man? Because the central rule of public morality at Williams is that black deaths matter but white deaths don't.
3) Just a service to our readers, here is Michael Brown robbing a convenience store minutes before his encounter with officer Wilson.
Of course, robbery (especially of short, brown, immigrant shop keepers?) does not merit getting shot by police, but Bolton seems blind to the complexities of this case, to the fact that lots of people — probably including a majority of Americans — think that "justice" was, in fact, served by the grand jury's decision to not indict Wilson.
4) A better Williams Dean would not send out this e-mail in the first place. Instead of worrying about events in far-away Missouri, she would worry about events on campus, events that she is responsible for and might even have some control over.
5) A better college would, instead of e-mailing students vacuous calls "end to racism," organize a campus conversation, or even debate, about the Brown shooting, would challenge all sides in the dispute to re-examine their assumptions and conclusions. Is Williams that sort of college? I don't know.

Ye Olde Fudge Shoppe is in the centre of the beautiful seaside town of Bude. The shop has been there since 2002 & we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to take Ye Olde Fudge Shoppe on in 2012. We are a completely independent family run business and we aim to sell only the very best quality products and have complete confidence in what we sell.
The cut fudge is made for us by Buttermilk Confections in Wadebridge, Cornwall and they boast a fantastic reputation and winning Great taste Gold awards for the past 3 years. All of the Fudges, Marzipan and truffles are handmade by them in Copper bottomed pans before being cooled overnight in wooden trays to guarantee a smooth creamy texture. We carry over 40 flavours of handmade fudge throughout the year.
We will always try to stock locally produced items were possible. We have recently introduced bottles of apple juice that are produced in the Tamar Valley.
Another recent addition to Ye Olde Fudge Shoppe is American confectionery. We sell most of the famous names such as Hershey's, Twinkies, Fluff, Baby Ruth's, Lucky Charms and many more.....
We also sell the traditional "sweets from the jar" stocking over 70 varieties. One of the best parts of our job is watching customers faces light up as they see sweets that they enjoyed as a child and tell us stories from their childhoods.
We have a Pick & Mix section including penny sweets so you can still come in with 20p and leave with a decent amount of sweets!!
We have a huge port folio of suppliers so if there is anything we don't stock that you would like us to get in we will always do our very best for you.

When you grow up playing soccer, it becomes a part of who you are. With the year-round soccer seasons, there ends up being so many things that only people who grew up playing soccer can relate to. These top 15 things bring me back to my childhood soccer days and make me miss it like crazy! To all you former/current soccer players, I'm sure you'll be able to relate. Feel free to hover over the image and share with other soccer lovers to bring back some good memories!
#1. Orange slices at halftime. You always got excited to bite your teeth into those cold orange slices after running around in the grueling heat.
#2. Huge gallon water bottles. A simple water bottle is just simply not enough water. You need a JUG and fill it up with ice water. I swear water tastes better out of those things.
#3. Weekend hotel adventures. When you have a tournament on the weekend and get to stay with your teammates in a hotel, there's nothing better. Staying up late, goofing off with your teammates, playing in the pool, finding cute boys on other travel teams at the hotel, eating junk food and playing hours and hours of soccer. There's NOTHING better than those nights and no time you'll ever bond more with your team than those hotel nights!
#4. The ol' shin-gurad tap-n-spin. When the ref would ask you to tap your shin-guards before each game. I swear I had that tap with my cleat and spin to show the bottom of my cleats down pact – I could do that move in my sleep. Not to mention, that's when you'd always giggle to each other when every ref would butcher the pronunciation of your last name.
#5. Being better than everyone when it was soccer day in PE. – no further explanation needed.
#6. Pasta parties. After practice, you hop in your cars and follow each other over to the designated pasta party house and stuff our faces with pasta because, you know, eating pasta the night before a game is what you do! Carb load it up! Shout out to all the parents who welcomed us into your homes to host our crazy group and cooked enough food to feed us all. Now that I'm older, I can't imagine hosting a pasta party with 20 crazy, dirty, sweaty soccer players with a grumbling stomach. Props to you, pasta parents! You win!
#7. Soccer T-Shits take over your wardrobe. You get a free soccer t-shirt from all these cool tournaments you go to, and how dare you throw any of them away since you worked so hard for them. Eventually, your entire wardrobe is soccer t-shirts and you're not one bit mad about it.
#8. Using your feet to kick the ball when playing all other sports. I mean, it comes natural. If a basketball comes to my feet, why not just kick it to where it needs to go. Sometimes our feet work better than our arms and no one could pull this off other than those who grew up playing soccer.
#9. Knowing the pain of a soccer ball. When you're playing in freezing weather and get a soccer ball to the thigh, you can relate to that terrible STING feeling. You'll also be left with a crazy imprint of a soccer ball on your leg to show off to your friends later.
#10. Missing Spring Break. All of your friends get to go on fun high school spring break trips and you have to stay back or you'll get in trouble by your soccer coach. Spring break is obviously less important than soccer practice *rolling eyes*.
#11. The terrible feeling of missing a PK. That moment when you're in overtime and miss a shot in a shootout. That's one of the worst lows you can feel.
#12. Tan Lines. Do I need to say more? Okay yes I will because this was the worst. Playing soccer every day in the summer can create some TERRIBLE tan lines. There's nothing worse than going to a high school dance in an adorable cute dress and having ghostly white shins. Not even a spray tan can even them out. They are there to stay. You can always point out the soccer players when it comes to an event like this!
#13. Collecting patches. Nothing was more exciting than playing a team from a new state and exchanging patches afterwards to add onto your ring of patches. Clip your ring of patches onto your soccer bag to show off how many great teams you've played and places you've gone!
#14. The shinguard stench. You didn't even know your body could produce that type of odor until you pull out your shinguards from your bag a couple days later. Only soccer players can relate to that stench.
#15. Pre-Wrap headbands. Pre-Wrap isn't only for wrapping your body before taping an injury, it's the easiest way to make a quick headband. Rip off a piece, sweat all over it & throw it out after. I swear these were the best "non-slip" headbands I could find. Genius!

First-Ever City/County Collaborative Provides Dinner to Children
Albuquerque- About 50% of today's children are at risk to become overweight or obese adults, statistics show. That's one of the reasons City and County officials are joining forces with New Mexico Appleseed to provide a program that gives underprivileged children healthy, balanced dinners; which of course improves the children's development and energy while also decreasing the chance that the child will incorporate poor eating habits into their adult life.
Today, Mayor Richard J. Berry and County Commissioner Maggie Hart Stebbins with New Mexico Appleseed Executive Director Jenny Ramo announced the After School Meals Program. The trio kicked off the program by serving meals to participating children at the Barelas Community Center in southwest Albuquerque. The program is expected to feed tens of thousands of meals to the hundreds of children involved. When the pilot program launched last year it operated in nine facilities, running for about 14 days. In that two week period more than 400 kids were served. This After School Meal Program compliments several long-standing meal programs, like: the Summer Breakfast and Lunch programs, the Early Childhood programs, and in conjunction with the snacks provided in all of the After School programs, but it is the first-ever City and County collaborative to provide the important meal of dinner.
"So many children in our community go home to empty refrigerators and cupboards," said Ramo. "The new afterschool meal program offers a wonderful new opportunity for children to get a healthy third meal, if they need it, with a bonus that more children may participate in afterschool programs. Both the programs and the food will help our children grow and thrive."
"It is so heartbreaking to see anyone suffering from hunger, especially children, who don't have the means to provide for themselves. What makes the After School Meal Program special is that this gives us one last chance to ensure our children have a healthy, satisfying meal at the end of the day before sending them home," said Mayor Berry. "Well-balanced meals help in the development of motor and developmental skills; giving these kids energy, brain power, and ultimately a higher quality of life and a greater chance of success."
"I'm grateful to Jennifer Ramo and NM Appleseed for their vision, inspiration, and dedication to making this program a reality. Bernalillo County and the City of Albuquerque are now providing healthy, substantial meals to vulnerable children in our community who might be going hungry at home," says County Commissioner Maggie Hart Stebbins. "This is a great example of public-private partnerships that invest in our children and make a real difference in their lives."
New Mexico Appleseed works on the systemic level to design, test, and implement practical solutions to difficult issues. While many organizations serve meals, educate children, and assist the poor, New Mexico Appleseed is unique in its focus on systemic change (as opposed to direct service). Their method strives to correct structural barriers to opportunity by designing and advocating for effective solutions through policy, legislative, and market-based reform. Focusing on issues like hunger, education and homelessness, New Mexico Appleseed's goal is to make systemic change that yields permanent or long term improvement for the poor and underserved.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Page 2 of 6
It's no secret that whites are starting to move into Oakland, and we all know that when whites find it hard to co-exist with others, they prefer to take over.
I would not be surprised if black businesses in the Downtown-Uptown area are being targeted. I have been to many of those venues and a good handful of them are run exceptionally well. And you also have those that hit under the mark, just like some white businesses I have been to, and Latin and Asian and Indian businesses. Why the blacks always get put on display as the negative is beyond me. America would not be America without black people adding all the flavor others try to capture.
I encourage people, especially here in the Bay Area, to explore deeper into their own true history.
Cedric Bedford-Chalale, Oakland
Cut OPD Slack
I don't believe the citizens of Oakland give our police department enough credit. I would recommend you try to empathize with their situation. Many of these guys are fathers with young kids that they would like to see raised into adulthood. We had four OPD gunned down two years ago, and another squad car fired upon just two weeks ago. Why anyone would want to volunteer to be an Oakland cop is beyond me, especially when they don't have the support of the community at their back.
Oakland is not Walnut Creek or Belmont, where all cops have to worry about are jaywalkers and drivers making illegal U-turns. This is a tough city and it requires tough law enforcement to keep it functional. Why is it that downtown Oakland doesn't have a vibrant nightlife, like our neighbor in San Francisco? It's because most Oaklanders lock themselves into their fortresses at night and stay there until they feel it's safe to come out in the morning. All I am saying is cut our OPD some slack. They are the thin blue line between us and anarchy.

"Will Oakland Become a No-Fest Zone?" News, 2/23
Is That Legal?
Addressing the anecdotal evidence that calling a council person can reduce fees, how can that happen when council members are prohibited from directing staff directly? I do not deny that Oakland's various fees are out of line with other local cities. I just think your article illustrates another more serious sproblem.
Mark Dieter, Oakland
A Shame
If the City of Oakland wants to compete with almost any other California city, it really needs to get with the program and make festivals more affordable and far less-complicated a process for organizers. We have a fantastic wealth of talented folks here who can and do put on great events, and throngs of Oakland locals who are hungry for more community festivals. People will come from all over the Bay Area and beyond. It would be a horrible shame if Oaklavia or other events don't happen due to unreasonable costs. Thanks to Karen Hester for persevering, and to other organizers who continue to work to create more Oaklandish events. Viva Oakland!
Elizabeth August, Oakland
The Road to Broke
Great article. Oakland's flavor is jut coming back after decades of downtown being a ghost town. We (organizers and festival-goers) create the culture that sells the city. Without us, no shuttles, no restaurants, no theater, no reason for Bay Area residents to come play, live, and raise families here. Oakland city officials need to realize how broke they'll be again if they inhibit celebrations, festivals, and gathering with soaring fees, because we promote business, boost real estate, and the tax base.

Unsavory Practice
I read the OpenTable article with great interest. I hadn't realized this additional burden that many restaurants are under, although I already knew that restaurants have the highest level of failure of any business.
That said, I wanted to draw your attention to the unsavory practice of charging customers if they have to cancel within 24 hours of the reservation; I thought that this might make an interesting follow-up to the OpenTable piece. I was looking forward to a belated birthday celebration with a friend at Eve restaurant on Feb 11. When I made the 7:30 p.m. reservation, the cancellation policy was explained to me when my credit card information was taken. Unfortunately, on the day of the reservation, my friend had to leave work to go home sick with the flu. He called me, and I immediately called the restaurant (around 2:30 p.m.). I talked to one of the owners, Veronica Laramie, and explained what had happened. She said that she had to charge me because it was policy. Now, I understand this policy (sort of) for no-shows, but I contacted her as soon as I knew. I also checked their reservations web site (they use OpenTable) at 5 p.m. that evening, and there were no openings for the 7:30 p.m. time slot. According to OpenTable's tech department, as soon as a cancellation is entered, the site updates, so I think that I can safely assume that they filled the reservation, and were not hurt by my late cancellation. As I agreed to their policy when I made the reservation, I have no recourse as far as disputing the charge on my credit card. I still feel that Eve restaurant made $58 for services that they did not render, and that it is a very shabby way to do business. It is a good restaurant, but no restaurant is that good.
