What The H**l Are People Thinking These Days?..
Now I know that Halloween is supposed to be the time for pretend to be that 'certain' somebody else character that you like to portray for that night of a little mischief and fun.
But that was taken to a whole different level with this one girl, and what she had decided to do on this past Halloween night would change her and her family's world around for the worst Big Time.
Alicia Ann Lynch made a grave mistake, she clearly didn't use her best judgment which was choosing what type of costume to display to the public.
She had use the social medias to route her costume pose to the world, thinking that it would do no harm.
But it did.. The damage was major, and the wound was stirred once again to remind those who lost the ones close to them in their life.
So you see earlier this year, millions upon millions of Americans witnessed an awful tragedy.
One that involved two brothers, one died in a shootout with the authorities.
The other sits in prison for life, or will get the death penalty only time will tell that tale.
The two men that staged this horrific act of malice killing 3 and injuring over 200 others at the marathon event, are known as the Tsarnaev brothers.
So now back to Lynch, and now just mentioning what I just said about the Boston bomb massacre that took place back in April of this year you probably guessed what she had went and did.
Yeah she dressed-up as a Boston marathon running victim, and the only thing you can say about that is WHY??
Her next REALLY BAD decision was to then turn around and post (a picture of herself) that on both instagram & twitter, and again the question of WHY will pop-up into your head again followed by a WTF..
Thinking that what she did was to be a joke, she then received various angry texts from other twitter users as well from instagram users (and
you would know that this got around to the other sites facebook, etc., etc.)
And it didn't get any better from there, she start getting threatening tweets, and someone even found information about where she and her parents live (through her driver's license information that was posted online), and even sent her parents death threats over the whole matter itself.
Someone even sent Lynch some provocative photos of herself, which came to her by mail a few days after she released the photo of herself (in her costume) to the public.
There was mass responses to her actions that she took with the posted photo in her costume, one tweet came form a twitter user that said that
she lost her mother to the Boston Marathon bombing that day to Lynch.
And there were others that also followed shortly after..
Lynch should have really thought about what she going to do, but she clearly didn't at all.
To sit up there and take a photo of yourself whether a joke or not portraying a Boston Marathon bomb victim, was just down right f**king stupid on her part.
She needs to apologize right off, and even take it a step further and make a public apology while she's at it on television.
It's definite a way to atone for what she did, when she could have sat and thought about how it would be to lose a loved one that is caught in a tragedy like that.
After all we are all human, we make mistakes no matter have big they may be.
But I saw this story, and just had to 'conversate' for a split second on that after seeing her picture Halloween costume pose.
Hopefully now she realize the error in her ways of being ignorant about her actions, and never to even think of pulling a stunt like that again in this lifetime.

Last night on Conan, director Zack Snyder brought a clip from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and claimed that it was new footage. It was pretty much the recent TV spot we saw: the Batmobile rams Superman, Superman rips the top off, Batman asks "Do you bleed?" before Superman flies away and then follows up with "You will," because they're enemies until they inevitably become pals, you see.
This clip does add a little bit more Superman, and to be fair it makes the film slightly more intriguing because I want to see what pushes Superman to the point of becoming so domineering. My concern is that this will be a movie of warring fascists where a god and a vigilante square off and it doesn't matter who wins because actually helping people is an afterthought. Maybe Snyder is trying to deconstruct the superhero genre (I don't give him that much credit), but right now it just looks like he's setting the stage for a massive brawl that the fanboys demand.
So does this clip get you excited for that fight, or are you more concerned about what he's doing with the characters? Watch the clip below and sound off in the comments. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens March 25th, and stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Holly Hunter, and Scoot McNairy.
Via TeamCoco.com.
Here's the official synopsis for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:
Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.

God's Patience in the Last Days
God's Patience in the Last Days
By Bill Perkins
I received a phone call this week from a guy who was bound and determined to prove to me that born- again Believers could lose their salvation based on sin.
It didn't matter what I said, how I explained it or what verse I used, he was resolute to stay in his works-oriented doctrine.
I eventually lost patience and did my best to politely get off the phone with him. But the point is, I lost patience with him. After I hung up, I really got convicted reading this verse:
Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.–Eph. 4:1-3
I was not humble with this guy, nor gentle, nor tolerant. I did nothing to preserve Christian unity. And most of all, I was not patient.
Bottom line is that I was in just as much sin losing my patience as he was teaching believers can lose their salvation. Licking my wounds, I began looking at what God says about patience.
I remembered that, as new Believers, someone once erroneously taught Susie and me that if we prayed for patience, we would be given many opportunities to practice! It was years before we understood that wasn't true. So I'm extra-motivated to be careful in what I learn and teach about patience!
As often happens in my Bible studies (and I'm sure to many of you too), once I started my study it took a "left turn" in a direction I had never considered. I was surprised to learn that not only is God patient with all of us sinners, we're actually living in a time just before the Rapture that is called "God's patience."
"the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water."–2 Pet. 3:20
I've done a lot of "Days of Noah" comparisons, comparing the days prior to the flood to today, but somehow missed this specifically designated time period.
But it is quite clear that the time before Noah's flood is specifically referred to as a time of "God's patience."
Since Jesus said the time before Rapture will be "just like" the days of Noah, then we are also currently living in the days of God's patience.
We know this because God said the time just before the Rapture of the Church would be "JUST LIKE" the days of Noah before the flood.
Jesus said: "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah."–Matt. 24:37
The Bible also says that in the last days before the Rapture many will "mock" God and His Word, lusting after self and denying that God will return to judge the earth.
Peter said:
"Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.'" –2 Pet. 3:3,4
So this illustrates what we know about the time prior to the Lord shutting the door on the ark and destroying all living/breathing creatures outside God's protective ark.
And standing out like a sore thumb in the chart above in yellow is what Peter calls the "Time of 'God's Patience.'"
"when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark,"–1 Pet. 3:20
During the hundred plus years that Noah was building the ark, despite the horrible sin happening all over the earth, God was patient.
God is love and love is patient.
"Love is patient,"–1 Cor. 13:4
During the time of God's patience before the worldwide flood, Noah was preaching God's truth. For over one hundred years, while building the ark, Noah warned the people on earth of what was to come.
Noah preached for over 100 years but it fell on deaf ears!
"God….did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness."–2 Pet. 2:5
Imagine preaching for 100+ years and no one getting saved! Despite all the sin and corruption for hundreds of years, the Lord was patient during the time the ark was being built.
Noah knew the end was getting close.
When Noah and his family finished loading the food and water on the ark, and God began to supernaturally bring the animals to load, Noah and his family KNEW the flood was close. They KNEW the end was near. They could see the writing on the wall! It wasn't rocket science.
They knew that the patience of God was about to end and that He would destroy all wicked mankind on the earth. And, despite Noah's warnings, the wicked were caught totally off-guard.
"For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be."–Matt. 24:38-39
Understanding the time of God's patience explains a lot of things. We really can't fathom God's incomprehensible restraint He's displaying during the time in which we live.
Think about the depths to which we've sunk in the last 50 years … without the Lord lowering the boom on those on the earth:
>> We've literally murdered over 50 million precious unborn babies in the United States, simply for the sake of convenience. Worldwide the unfathomable number is over two billion!
"… the LORD hates…an abomination to Him … hands that shed innocent blood,"–Prov. 6:16-17
>> We've watered down our Biblical armor by not preaching about sin and repentance from our pulpits.
"preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction." –2 Tim. 4:2
>> We've made our decisions based on money instead of honor or Biblical principles.
"A good name is to be more desired than great wealth, favor is better than silver and gold."–Prov. 22:1
>> We've violated the Biblical principle of "no work, no food" calling it "welfare."
"…if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either." –2 Th. 3:10
>> We've allowed pornography to infiltrate our homes through television, computers and cell phones. The United States is the world's largest distributor of pornography.
"The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness."–Luke 11:34
>> And most recently, our nation's leadership has "flipped-the-finger" to our Creator by calling the quite grievous and gruesome sin of homosexuality as "normal."
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;"–Is. 5:20
"Woe to those who enact evil statutes and to those who constantly record unjust decisions,"–Is. 10:1
So why hasn't the Lord judged America, or the earth? The answer is that He will. It's just that currently we're spared because we're in the time period of "God's Patience." But eventually God will judge all nations at the end of the Tribulation.
"All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;"–Matt. 25:32
"I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there…"–Joel 3:2
It's also necessary to note that Americans tend to assume God views the United States like He views Israel, in a special category. But America is not Israel, and we're not in a special category. America has not inherited the promises of Israel.
"For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery…a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,"–Rom. 11:25-26
"God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew."–Rom. 11:2
Prior to the Church Age, God dealt with Israel as a nation. But today, in the Church Age, God deals with individual Believers.
Yes, as individuals we have been grafted into Israel's promises, but the United States as a country is really no different than any other nation. Believers in other atheistic nations have the same access to the Lord through prayer.
But the rain falls on Believers and non-Believers alike.
"… He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."–Matt. 5:45
Today, nations can be blessed, or not blessed, based on how they interact with the reborn nation of Israel.
"And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse."–Gen. 12:3
The Lord also says we should pray for our governmental leaders so we can lead a quiet life. So a believer in Russia has the same situation as we have. We all pray for God's Will to be done.
"First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity." –1 Tim. 2:1-2
But the bottom line to us today is that we're in the time of God's Patience. God is withholding what is due for all nations until His plan is perfectly finished. His patience allows for more people to be saved and avoid the horrors of the tribulation.
Those who have recently gotten saved are missing the Tribulation because God has been patiently waiting. Therefore there are people He still will draw into the Kingdom and things He wishes to do through Believers before the curtain drops. So God tells us to also be "patient!"
"The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."–2 Pet.3:9
Those who are saved between now and the Rapture will be rescued because God is patiently waiting for all whom He chose before the foundation of the earth was laid.
"just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,"–Eph. 1:4
We don't know if the Lord is coming in the next minute, the next month or years from now. And if the Lord tarries, we have to be patient.
"Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord…"–James 5:7
"…regard the patience of our Lord as salvation;"–2 Pet. 3:15
And just like those living in the time of Noah, we too can see the handwriting on the wall. We too see all of the prophecies coming together, lining up exactly as the Bible predicted. Even with people all around us denying it's close!
"and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."–2 Pet. 3:4
So we wait patiently, ready to be used by Him as the days linger on until our great exodus at the Rapture.
"So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;"–Col.3:12
In the parable of the Nobleman (Luke 19:12-27) there is an inference to "occupy" or "stay busy" until the Lord returns. So we wait patiently, staying busy with our duties while praying that He will use us to witness to someone in our family, a neighbor, or someone at work, someone who still needs to get on the boat.
So this is one incredible time in which we, as Believers, should be very, very sensitive to God's leading. There is one person on the planet who will be the last person saved prior to our exit.
Much like the thief on the cross, one person will be the last to believe. That person will be the last to receive God's gift of the Holy Spirit, being permanently indwelled by Him. The person will be whisked away with the rest of the Believers, escaping God's horrific judgment coming on earth.
But until that departure day, we can have peace in God's latter-days patience, knowing that despite what we see all around us, THE LORD IS STILL IN CONTROL. Nothing is happening that He's not allowing.
And when it's all over, we win. So let's live like we know we've already won!
Use us, Lord!

PANJIM: The Bombay High Court at Goa has directed that the hearing on Goa Raj Bhavan's petition against the RTI Act will continue on August 16th. With Dr. S.S.Sidhu being the only Governor to challenge the RTI Act, the issue whether the Governor is a "Public Authority" is being raised before a High Court for the first time.
The Division Bench of the Bombay High Court at Goa comprising of Justice S. A. Bobde and Justice F.M.Reis has already directed the Additional Solicitor General of India Mr. Vivek Tankha to file an affidavit to the effect that the President of India, Governor and Speaker do not have any executive powers or duties to comply with.
The Additional Solicitor General Mr. Vivek Tankha while appearing on behalf of Goa Raj Bhavan had argued before the High Court that the President of India, Governor, Speaker and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court & High Courts do not come within the purview of the Right to Information Act.
The stand taken by the Additional Solicitor General is despite the Rashtrapati Bhavan, all other Raj Bhavans, the Lok Sabha Secretariat, the Supreme Court and High Courts all complying with the RTI Act and none of them having yet thrown a legal challenge that they are not a "Public Authority".
Special Secretary to the Goa Governor Dr. N. Radhakrishnan in his petition before the High Court has challenged the 31st March order of the Goa State Information Commission which had directed the Goa Raj Bhavan to furnish Adv. Aires Rodrigues the information sought by him under the Right to Information Act.
The Goa Raj Bhavan has in its petition contended that the Governor not being a "Public Authority" does not come within the purview of the RTI Act. The Raj Bhavan has also further contended that the Goa State Information Commission has not been properly constituted as the Goa State Chief Information Commissioner could not have heard matters in the absence of another Information Commissioner.
The State Chief Information Commissioner Mr. Motilal Keny in his order had ruled that the Goa Governor was a "Public Authority" and does come within the ambit of the Right to Information Act.
Adv. Aires Rodrigues's complaint against Goa Governor Dr. S. S. Sidhu follows the stand taken by the Goa Raj Bhavan that the Governor was not a public authority and did not come within the purview of the RTI Act.
Adv. Aires Rodrigues had sought from Goa Raj Bhavan under the RTI Act details of action taken by the Governor on his complaints against the Advocate General of Goa Mr. Subodh Kantak. Adv. Rodrigues had also sought copies of noting sheets and correspondence pertaining to the processing of his complaints against the Advocate General.

Tito was always pushing me to eat healthier. One thing I forgot to talk about in yesterday's ramblefest is the fact that I'm in horrible shape. I haven't been in good shape for, oh, 5 years, but spending 5 weeks sitting on my ass eating Carl's Jr., In N Out, and SuperMex really brought me to a new level of unhealthy. Guacamole Bacon Burgers, waffle fries ALL DAY. SuperMex Burrito with green sauce ALL DAY. Now that I'm going to be in Seattle more I'd really like to get in better shape. I'm going to make a pledge to eat NO fried foods(other than wings on Monday nights), drink NO pop or juice(other than real juice, no Sobe or Snapple) and do something active for at least an hour 5 days a week. The something active could be walking around Greenlake, playing basketball or riding my bike to the grocery store for porno mags. Just something that makes my heart pump a little and makes sweat come out of my pores. I'd also like to do at least 100 push ups every day if I can. Sounds easy but you people have no clue how sorry I am right now. Hopefully that push up number will increase with time but I need to start doing something if that's going to happen. I'm not going to make any weight loss goals or even weigh myself at all. I'm just looking for a better level of fitness and a healthier lifestyle.
I've made silly pledges like this before and I've always bailed on them. I don't really know what to do to keep myself motivated but the extra flab has me feeling pretty gung ho at the moment. I'm twenty freaking six and it's not going to get any easier. In the past I've always been able to get in shape pretty quickly after going on a diet or starting a workout regimen but I don't think it'll be that way forever. If anyone can think of a way to motivate me, please chime in. I'll be starting this "get the heart pumping again" plan on Monday but I'm going stop eating crap immediately.
Poker went pretty well today. I played about $1K worth of tournies and didn't cash in a single one. I made the final table of a WPT Choice tournament but busted in 9th with KK on a T-high flop vs a set of 4s. I hate folding, bleh. However, cash games went really well and I ended the day with a $1500 boost in my bankroll. Hooray Beer! I ran pretty good but I also felt a lot better. I've been reviewing hands after each session and I'm becoming more familiar with recurring situations. One day I'm going to run really bad and swear off of cash games forever but right now I'm having fun.
I should set some poker related goals for each week and try to play a certain number of hands. I'll think about it more and let you know what I come up with. I think that I'd like to play about 5000 hands per week but I'm not sure if that's too high or too low. I'm don't think monetary goals are very productive and I'm a firm believer that if you play enough, the money will come. I'll only be playing when I'm out of the state, obviously, so I'm probably going to be heading up to Canada pretty frequently.
There are a few things that I need/want to buy that I can use as carrots for my bankroll building. Number one is a new laptop for when I multitable in Canada. My current laptop has crappy reolution, blue-screens all the time and makes a strange grinding noise when I turn it on. I bought it about 20 months ago but it was pretty cheap and is probably more dated than that. I'm considering getting a PowerBook but it depends how much it costs to run Windows programs on it. I think Full Tilt is the only site that is Mac compatible and Party is where all the money is. If I don't get a PowerBook I'll probably get a Dell 9300 or whatever it is that all the cool kids have. I'd like the new laptop soon so I'll get it when the bankroll reaches $25K(It's at $24,184.80 at the moment).
I've already talked about the Breitling watch and I think I'll go for that once the bankroll gets to $50K. That could be a long ways off but if I put in 5,000 hands per week I think I can get there reasonably soon. I'll be pulling from the bankroll to pay bills, eat food and travel but I don't anticipate any huge expenses.
Cliff Notes so far:
Eat Healthier, Get Heart Pumping
Play 5,000 hands per week
Buy a new laptop when the bankroll reaches $25K
Buy a new watch when the bankroll reaches $50K
The ultimate goal is to get the roll up to $100K and start playing 25/50 regularly. I can't think of a good reward once I reach that milestone and I might not buy anything at all. It seems so far out there but all I need to focus on are 5,000 hands per week.
Tomorrow I'm going to drive most of the way home. I'm going to stop at my Grandma's and probably stay through lunch on Saturday. I've done this drive up and down I-5 a million times and it bores the crap out of me. I really despise driving through Oregon and the happiest moment of the drive(other than driving past SouthCenter and seeing the Seattle skyline) is crossing the Columbia and entering the State of Washington. God Bless Washington and its online poker ban. Anyway, if you're bored tomorrow and want to help a brotha stay alert and stay alive, give me a call. Peace. Love. Happiness.
P.S. I have no clue why anyone reads this crap. Blogging feels like one of the most narcissistic things ever and I feel like a jackass every time I write. Why the hell do you care about my physical and poker goals. Please don't put a bunch of comments saying we care because you're our friend blah blah blah. Just let me bitch in peace. Goodnight.

hahah lmao :) It's true. I also feel like an ass when i write my blog, however, Without you... and other poker bloggers i would have to actually work for the morning instead of just reading peoples blogs.
Keep writing.... OR ELSE hahaa
I second comment above, reading your blog is a bright spot in my otherwise boring work day. Plus when you're traveling it's nice to hear what you're upto and this way you don't have to have the same phone conversation with everyone. Welcome home, hope you can swing by tomorrow. dr
You're living the dream and we're all just along for the ride. That's all, that's it. Final.
You write because you know what you are doing is only experienced by a few individuals in this world and it is your social obligation to let everyone know what it's like to be on your own time table and not have a dumb job to go to every day.
Besides we care because you are our friend...
J-Stevens out up to 6 weeks w/ knee injury. Whatever, Go Hawks!!!!!
If you want I can set you up with an exercise/diet program. It'd probably be similar to the one I give to offseason football players at the skill positions. And if you would stop calling reraises out of position with AQ you'd be buying a laptop already.
Just got my Dell E1705 and it is pimpilicious.

Just jokes my friend \m/
Appreciate the shout out bro! And Detroit ain't all that bad anymore, we are on the come up!
Im glad you are ready to make a lifestyle change. I think the first thing you should do is get a physical, including blood test to check your cholesterol and tryglycerides. Those number will probably be sky high. But don't fear, cardio exercise plus healthy diet will take care of that. I think this is important.
Also, Please don't make the mistake of too many by changing everything too fast. Dieting is bad word in my opinion, rather learn to eat healthy for life. Don't worry you can still have the occasional burger, fries and that super sized steak and cheese that you had in Philly. But for now, make minor changes. Stop the sugary drinks, instead of a cheesburger get a hamburger and then eventually get to the point in which you will eat a grilled chicken sandwich. You need to slowly ween of the junk food. All the meanwhile EXERCISE! You will notice the weight loss and you will feel so much better.
I also love beer, but you must cutback. Also, learn to enjoy some of the lighter beers. They actually make a difference, less calories and many taste great. I love the new Heinekin light, Amstel light, Becks premier light. My favorite light beer is Labatts Blue Light, but im not sure if its available to you, its a Canadien beer that is readily available in Detroit.
So, in summary, a 'slowly but surely' approach is the best way to go about a healthy lifestyle change.
PS- Breitling watches are balla!

Welcome home!
Let's hook up at the next Seahawks game! We'll dial-shot Al while tailgating and put him on Mega-Soco tilt!
Language does not passively "reflect" or "correspond to" some pre-existing reality. Language constructs reality; or rather, we, as human beings, construct reality in language. We do this through the metafunctional interplay of action and reflection: language both enacts interpersonal relationships and construes human experience. Thus the (speaking) subject, the multifaceted personae, the hierarchies and power structures that we call society are all created in language. Ideologies of class, gender, and the like are established, maintained, and challenged through the meaning potential of language.
Humans exchange goods-&-services and they also exchange information: human history is an ongoing dialectic of material and semiotic processes. In the scientific, "modern" age all systems were modelled in material terms, with physical systems taken as prototypical. Quantum physics, in particular, has veered us in that direction. This puts grammatics squarely in the center of the stage; not just as theory of grammar but as theory of knowledge; that is, of all systems construed as systems of meaning. In this setting, grammatics means using grammar to think with: its context of operation is as a theory whereby our understanding of language may be brought to bear on phenomena of any kind.
Neither systemic theory nor any other theory of language has reached anywhere near this level of achievement. We are still rather far from understanding even the basic properties of a semiotic system. What is important at this stage is to locate theories of grammar in the current intellectual context, so that as they continue to be elaborated and improved they move closer to, and not further away from, the transdisciplinary concerns of thoughtful people as a whole.
If I'm ever in Seattle, I really need to party with Silky. For some reason, that guy strikes me as the pimp of pimps.
5k hands/week is no problem. Once you get comfortable w/ cash games, you'll be able to 6-table easily, and then banging out 5k/week is a joke.
Boooooooo $3000 watches (and $10k watches and any exorbitantly priced watch). Seriously, what's the functionality difference between a $350 watch and a $3k watch? And who can tell the difference between the two, besides someone who is judging you based on what you can afford (and a few knowledgable randoms). I'm pretty clueless about this shit, so straighten me out if you feel strongly about it.
P.S. I think Tito's health advice is really good.
Tito's advice is good. And if you really want to lose weigh or get healthy, you really need to cut down on the beer and soft drinks and fast foods.
Also exercise the whole body not just the fingers on the computer or poker game.
You got a good plan in mind. Just take it one day at a time.
Missed your blog, so glad you are back.

your blog sucks! i'm just kidding, we all love to hear about how fat you are. At you least you still update your blog. I'm in Sapporo right now announcing games for the Basketball World Championships. It's a little surreal watching these NBA stars up close. After the first two games I will say D. Howard is sick and will be a big time stud in the near future. I know the games are broadcast in the middle of the night but if you ever catch one you should be able to here my voice in the background. p.s.-while taking a whiz in the bathroom standing next to Rudy T. I overheard him calling his package a "honker." Why am I telling you this, i don't know.
Welcome home! We read your blog b/c unlike you, we don't have a 365-DAY WEEKEND, and actually have to go to work. Anyway, promise me you'll wear a gray-shirt when you go exercise? Also, I will run/walk, go to Green Lake, etc. w/ you. PEACE!
FWIW, I believe party is now mac compatible
Re the minerva post above: What a load of Chomskyite crap! (Huh? indeed!) Language came about to reflect things as they are, the truth; use of language to manipulate or try to create a separate truth is perverse. That's why "lying" is a pejorative term. Arguing about what's true has value, but that's the realm of philosophy, not linguistics. Damn a bunch of dammity damned old damovitch linguisticians anyhow!
One of the most attractive features of this blog is that you don't try to sugarcoat or misrepresent your actions and feelings. Keep on.

Some 10 million people suffer from some form of TMJ Disorder: from jaw clicking or jaw popping whenever they yawn to intense migraine-like pain in the area around their ears. The temporomandibular joint is the hinge between your jaw and skull. The bone and muscles permit your jaw to move—not just up and down, but left and right, in and out. This kind of complexity is what makes TMJ Syndrome so common, and often so difficult to diagnose.
Modern dentistry has a whole array of TMJ Disorder responses—so your first response should be to make an appointment.
For some people, the answer may be a custom-fitted mouth guard to keep them from teeth grinding in their sleep. There's even a battery-powered miniature sensing device, worn at night, to alert you when grinding occurs. Another plug-in device helps eliminate spasms and jaw pain by applying moist heat to the source of the pain for several minutes at a time.
If the problem stems from tooth alignment, orthodontic treatment can relieve the stress. Physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants and stress management are all possibilities. The key, as always, is identifying the problem and then finding the response that works best for you.
A tooth that aches in the morning can result from teeth grinding during sleep. Teeth clenching can usually be treated. Are you troubled by a jaw popping or jaw clicking sensation, or jaw pain when you eat? You may be suffering from a dental problem that has nothing to do with teeth or gums. We call it TMJ disorder.
TMJ is short for temporomandibular joint, which is the hinge attaching your jaw to your skull. Temporomandibular Joint syndrome usually means that there's a misalignment within the network of muscles, bones, and joints that make up this hinge. When your hinge isn't coming together as it should, the jawbone grates on sensitive tissues and other bones. Sometimes the pain can be intense and cause a migraine headache. Sometimes the jaw popping is merely annoying.
Regardless of pain level, you should be concerned. It's important to have a thorough evaluation, before permanent damage is done, especially since TMJ syndrome can often mimic symptoms of other medical problems (sinus infections especially) and escape identification.
Every TMJ case is unique. But your dentist probably has plenty of experience treating this common disorder. His or her response may be minor tooth reshaping, mouth splints, or possibly muscle relaxants. Sometimes a simple massage is effective to control pain. Only in rare cases is there a need for surgery to correct TMJ disorder.
If you feel you're experiencing symptoms of TMJ syndrome, please call your dentist immediately. He or she can provide a thorough evaluation and recommend corrective measures, before the problem escalates.

The Confederations of African Football, Caf, on Monday it will announce today (Tuesday) whether Egypt or South Africa will stage the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations bi-annual tournament, a day earlier than the decision had previously been scheduled.
Cameroon were stripped of hosting rights in November over preparation delays and security concerns in parts of the country.
South Africa has much of the necessary infrastructure after hosting the 2010 World Cup and the 2013 Africa Cup of nations.
The 2006 hosts Egypt would also appear to have the infrastructure but only expressed its interest in hosting the tournament on December 14 after Morocco pulled out in the middle of the same month.
This year's competition will run from June 15 to July 13 and for the first time, will feature 24 teams.

Paying more than you can afford for a new car? Here's how you can tell
Motorists are spending a bigger percentage of their income on new cars than they can afford, a new study has found.
On average, we're paying £1,154.37 more than we can reasonably afford to pay, affordability tests show.
The research, carried out by short-term car lease providers, Cars on Demand, quizzed 2,500 car buyers and compared what they had spent with what experts calculate we can afford.
How much of your income should you spend?
Experts estimate that no one should be paying more than between 20 and 25% of their annual income on a car – this takes into account all other normal outgoings, such as rent, energy bills and groceries.
But the results found, on average, that motorists were paying 27.5%, which is equivalent to £1,154.37.
Motorists in Northern Ireland were the most spendthrift, blowing almost 39% of their income on cars and equivalent to an overspend of £3,429.59
And in only one region, The West Midlands, did new car buyers spend less than what the experts said people should budget. They shell out just over 22% of their income – that's an underspend of £38.37.
The study also found that one third of us admit to being driven by our emotions to overspend.
42% of owners said they had spent so much on their car, they couldn't afford to pay for any unexpected repairs.
Overspending by region (source: Cars on Demand)
And when it comes to splashing out the most, Northern Ireland is the most indulgent region. They spend a whopping 38.8% of their annual salary on a new car, which is on average £3,429.59 more than what they should spend.
Financing the deal
While most of us overspend, it seems, at least we seem to be taking the financing of our new car purchases seriously.
The survey found that on average we spend 45 minutes looking at various options to finance a car, rather than just grabbing the first one offered.
ASpokesmanSaid consumer expert Nic McBride commented, "That 45 minute figure is quite reassuring. Overspending on the price of a car is one thing, but getting the wrong finance package can really hurt your wallet.
"It ALWAYS makes sense to shop around and work out what you'll be paying and at what rate."

Football season is here. I mean, technically it kicks off here in Nebraska tomorrow. But after weeks of updates coming in from training camps, and my fantasy football league commissioner sending nearly daily updates, it might as well be football season.
This, of course, has my mind and heart thinking of all things fall. I'm talking boots, scarves, spiced beverages and treats, and more.
Before I get ahead of myself and put out pumpkin decorations, let's just stick to the start of football season. As a reader (and writer), I love a good sports romance.
Let's take a look at some sporty reads.
Impulsive by Catherine HartThis was the first sports romance novel I read back when I was in middle school and falling for the genre. A reporter is assigned to cover a new pro-football team and begins a fake relationship with the quarterback as a mutually beneficial cover. But as the fake romance becomes real, the couple comes to realize that a series of mishaps surrounding the team might not be so accidental after all.
Intercepted by Alexa MartinThis one is all about exes and ohs . . . (get it?) After breaking up with her football-star boyfriend, Marlee has sworn off athletes forever. That is until a certain quarterback from her past re-enters the game. A behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to build a career (and relationship) within the bright lights of football, I was totally shipping Marlee and her new guy.
Risky Play by Rachel Van DykenA new series from Rachel Van Dyken . . . I actually haven't read this book yet, but I can't wait. This one is centered around REAL football (or, what we Americans call soccer). The premise for this book sounds SO good. And I had a great time discussing it (and our general love of sports romance) with the author herself at RWA 2019. (She's just as excited for gridiron season to begin.)
Queen of the League Trilogy by Laura Chapman
Okay, this is totally shameless and self-promotional. But I swear, I love my Queen of the League trilogy. A romantic comedy series following three fantasy football seasons in the life of Harper Duquaine, this is a sports romance series that even people who aren't into the game can appreciate. Through it all, will Harper secure her fantasy football legacy, career, and love for a happily ever after?
Where are my fellow sports romance lovers? What are your favorite sports romance reads and authors?

Jon Luke Jacobs allowed just three hits over six innings in his first SEC start of the season as Auburn bounced back from a one-run loss on Friday to down Vanderbilt, 5-2, on Saturday afternoon at Hawkins Field. The win improved Auburn's record to 19-15, 7-7 SEC while Vanderbilt fell to 15-20, 5-9 SEC.
"You can't say enough about Jon Luke Jacobs. He got us into the seventh inning allowing three hits," Auburn Head Coach John Pawlowski said. "Today was one of our better defensive games (of the season). We had 13 groundball outs. Creede Simpson and Dan Glevenyak had some nice plays up the middle and then (catcher) Blake Austin threw out Tony Kemp."
Jacobs (5-0), who was pushed into the weekend rotation following a season-ending injury to Will Kendall last weekend, held Vanderbilt it hitless until there were two outs in the third and never allowed two hits in an inning. Issuing four walks, he relied heavily on the defense to do a lot of the work, getting nine ground ball outs, including an inning-ending double play in the first.
"We needed to bounce back after last night and the way the last four conference games have gone for us," Jacobs said. "The defense played really well today and all around we played really well. We need to keep that rolling into tomorrow."
Cullen Wacker finished the game 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs for Auburn, driving in two with a first-inning, two-out, two-run double that gave Auburn a lead it would never relinquish.
A Garrett Cooper RBI groundout in the fifth scored Dan Glevenyak to push the lead to 3-0 for Jacobs before he turned things over to Slade Smith and Dillon Ortman out of the bullpen. Ortman would get the final six outs to earn his first save of the season.
The only runs Vanderbilt would push across came on one swing of the bat as Connor Castellano hit a two-run, pinch-hit home run off of Smith in the seventh to make it a 3-2 game, with one run being charged to Jacobs and one to Smith.
Auburn tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the ninth as Jay Gonzalez singled, stole second, went to third on a Blake Austin single and scored on Glevenyak's successful safety squeeze play to make it 4-2. Bobby Andrews, pinch running for Austin, then stole third and scored on an error by Vanderbilt catcher Spencer Navin trying to get him at third for the final margin.
Vanderbilt starter Tyler Beede (1-4) allowed three runs on nine hits in seven innings, issuing a walk and striking out six while reliever Drew VerHagen allowed two runs on two hits in 1 1/3 innings.
Auburn will attempt to win its fourth SEC series of the season on Sunday when it starts Daniel Koger (2-2). Vanderbilt will start Kevin Ziomek (2-6).

Astronomers discovered a protostar that formed in the accretion disk of another protostar!!! Now let me explain all those indigestible terms – a protostar is simply a the stage just before a newborn star fully develops into a star, just before nucleosynthesis starts. Pretty much it's in the growing up stages and will soon be a full grown adult star. Protostars are newborn and they're filled with lots of energy (like a 2 year old child) and they spin very fast, increasing in speed. With all this spinning happening, a bunch of nearby dust and gas starts to accumulate and accreted into a disk shape around the newborn star, this is called the accretion disk. And this entire system of the newborn star with the accretion disk around it has a name too- it's called a PROTO-PLANETARY DISK (aka PROPLYD)! Just like the 20 beautiful proplyds that were recently imaged, I covered that discovery here.
These disks that form around newborn stars hold all the essential materials to form planets overtime and potentially a planetary system just like our very own solar system. If the planets are aligned within the habitable zone of the host star.. then dare I say it, the potentiality for life is very likely. This is why I get so excited about this topic in astrophysics. However, something very interested was discovered, in the accretion disk around protostar named MM 1a. Rather than planets forming in the accretion disk, a whole new PROTOSTAR formed!!
Ok so how the heck did that happen?! Well, MM 1a is a VERY MASSIVE protostar, it is about 40 times the mass of our Sun, and with a massive protostar like that, you bet it's drawing in A LOT of nearby icy, dusty gaseous materials into its accretion disk. So it's disk is HUGE and DENSE with a much larger concentration of elements than smaller disks around smaller protostars. Due to this knowing, there is a higher chance that some of the materials in the unstable disk coalesced and collapsed under gravity and BOOM a protostar is born!
But WAIT- it gets better. This secondary protostar, named M 1b, is about half the mass of our Sun. And remember, MM 1a is 40x the mass of our Sun. That makes the mass ratio between both protostars 80:1!!! This is such a dramatic differentiation in size. So what does this mean for the future of this binary star system? Well, the small protostar, MM 1b has a good chance of living long enough for planets to form in its very own circumstellar disk (the later stages of an accretion disk, when rocky materials start to actually collide to form asteroids, planetesimals, planets etc.). MM 1b can live several million years, planets typically will begin to form around 3-5 million years. However, even tho MM 1b can live long enough to form its own planets, it will be quickly demolished by its partner, the big the mighty the massive MM 1a that will die via supernova explosion in only 1 million years!!! This means, any hopes for life to exist will be totally out of the question because the entire system will be demolished before in any of those planets even begin to form.
I honestly think gathering as much data about this system can bring us answers to how much more different binary systems can form than we previously thought. And who knows, maybe life too, before any star goes supernova.

St. Lucia Jazz 2017 sounded-off on a high note at the Royalton St. Lucia Resort and Spa on the evening of Thursday May 11.
An expectant audience of locals, visitors and event organizers gathered at the Royalton's brand spanking new Convention Centre for the Jazz Showcase featuring Boo Hinkson and the Young Stars.
The two-hour set which was anchored and commandeered by local music icon Ronald Boo Hinkson was a virtual showcase of some of the best musical and literary talent emerging from St. Lucia at this time.
Boo opened the set with one of his signature instrumental compositions called Jeremie Street, and How Can I,from his last CD Shades. The virtuoso guitarist took the audience on a trip down memory lane and showed why he is a master at his craft – his fingers gliding effortlessly on the frets, notes ringing melodiously. In typical Boo fashion, there were moments when he played with his eyes closed. Boo and his guitar became one in alchemy.
Rashaad Joseph was the first young star to join Boo on stage. Barely out of his teens, Rashaad exudes poise and composure well beyond his years. Beneath his calm demeanour is a fire that ignites when he gets on stage. When he burst on the local music scene 3 years ago, Rashaad started off playing the Tenor Sax. Many were surprised to see him playing the Soprano Sax at the Jazz Showcase.
He opened with a soulful rendition of Justin Bieber'sLove Yourself on the Soprano Sax. He then switched to his Tenor Sax where he blew the audience away with his version of Alicia Keys If I Ain't Got You.
If you haven't heard the name Kyvon Edwin, remember his name. He had the ladies in the house mesmerized with his sensual rendition of Oh Ghal, a riveting poetic interpretation of Teddyson John's song of the same name. A budding actor, poet and member of the local group Head Phunk, Kyvon first performed with Boo at hisShow the World concert last December. Kyvon whose first-love is acting, has his sights set on acting school in the USA sometime this year to pursue his passion.
Young female vocalist Shanne James has been a Facebook sensation with over 30,000 hits since she recorded and released a jazzy version of Teddyson John's Allez. The audience got more than they bargained for. Guess who was in the house? You guessed right…Teddyson John. Boo invited him on stage and he stepped forward, creating sweet harmony with Shanne. It was spontaneous, infectious, and unscripted.
Irvine Ace Loctar has toured and performed with Boo at home and abroad, including Washington and Mainstage Jazz at Pigeon Island. The most experienced and mature of the featured performers on the night, Loctar jokingly thanked Boo for referring to him as "young." He showed his experience and vocal mastery in a tribute to the late Al Jareau with Spain and the Boo Hinkson classic Song of Love.
Widely touted as the heir apparent to the late Derek Walcott and St. Lucia's next Nobel Laureate, Vladimir Lucien rendered two of his poems to music. The second was a haunting piece which captured a mother's anguish at losing her son.
Shannon Pinel was the surprise package on the night. Still in her early twenties, Shannon demonstrated a presence and command of the stage that stunned the audience. They were tuned-in to every note she belted out.
She first did Like a Woman – a new song which will be featured on Boo's next CD. Her voice reverberated in soulful jazz style, with echoes of Erika Badu and Jill Scott. The pint-size singer brought the house down with her rendition of the Eta James classic At Last. The emotion in her voice and her amazing vocals belied her youth. It was as if she was announcing her arrival on the music scene. Shannon Pinel is definitely one to watch.
Boo capped off the night with an instrumental version of the Maximus Dan hit – Hold Them and Wok Them – which got patrons off their seats, moving, grooving, and dancing. It was a fitting end, with a standing ovation for Boo Hinkson and the Young Stars.
It was the perfect start to the newly minted St. Lucia Jazz under the Soleil banner. From all indications, the organizers were very pleased with the first night. CEO of Events St. Lucia Inc., Thomas Leonce said: "I'm convinced we made the right decision to commence St. Lucia Jazz 2017 with homegrown talent. We endorse what Boo is trying to do in terms of exposing young talent. The performances were of international standard, and that shows how far we have come, musically."
Addressing some of the skepticism surrounding the revised Jazz Festival under the Soleil brand, Leonce said: "Many of the events under the Soleil umbrella already existed. St. Lucia Jazz existed prior to Soleil, Carnival has always been with us, we've traditionally celebrated Creole Heritage Month in October, and we've had a Food & Rum Festival in the past.
We are not doing anything revolutionary. What we have done is create a brand to manage the festivals under one umbrella – Soleil Saint Lucia Summer festival. As with any change, it will take some time for persons to embrace it and get accustomed to it, but we are confident that our people will warm-up to Soleil as the events unfold."
Jazz purists are in for a treat at the Royalton tonight, Friday May 12 from 7:00 p.m. On stage will be Malika Tirolien followed by Danilo Perez with Ben Street and Terri Lynn Carrington.
The action moves to Pigeon Island from 10:30 p.m. with local singing sensation Michael Robinson, to be followed by David Rudder and Andy Narell.

From cool kids' parks to kick-ass fitness studios.
Kids' park
Pen Park
Runner-up: Greenleaf Park
Honorable mention: IX Art Park
Kids love big stuff. Big chocolate bunnies, gifts that come in big boxes, big soap bubbles, and whether they know it or not, big parks. At 282 acres, Pen Park is not only the city's largest but also the one with the most amenities. Do the kids care about the golf or fitness courses? Nah. But they (and their parents, natch) really dig the baseball batting cage, volleyball courts, sprawling playground, designated play areas for the 5- and-under set, and plenty of open space and trails for romping and running. • Like a beach ball kicked by a 4-year-old, IX Art Park rolls into the runner-up spot.
Summer camp
Triple C Camp
Runner-up: ACAC Adventure Central
Honorable mention: Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Virginia
Thoughtful, robust, and age-appropriate programming plus rad facilities make Triple C tops for K-11 campers. Spread across 35 acres, features include two saline swimming pools, five cabins, a nature-education center, horseback riding, a bouldering wall, a ropes course, and—woo-hoo!—a 500-foot zip line. And if your kids don't want the fun to end, Triple C now offers activities year-round. • The racing heart of ACAC's summer camp, which includes sports, weekly field trips and themes, and arts and crafts, is the Adventure Central Waterpark, with Olympic-sized and beach-entry pools, waterslides, and a spray garden.
Mountain-biking park or trail
Walnut Creek Park
Runner-up: Rivanna Trail
Honorable mention: Preddy Creek
The Charlottesville Area Mountain Bike Club lauds Walnut Creek as a "tight, twisting singletrack with quick climbs and descents." That's part of the trail, anyway. Other stretches offer a flat ride along a lake that begs you to dismount and take a plunge. • Offering 20 miles of "urban wilderness," Rivanna Trail is one of Charlottesville's great features—accessible, healthy, fun, and a blast of a cycling trail.
Walking/hiking park or trail
Saunders-Monticello Trail
Runner-up: Humpback Rock
Honorable mention: Rivanna Trail
Variety is the spice of hikes (bad pun—live with it!). Winner Saunders-Monticello Trail offers a mellow walk up the mountainside to Monticello, and the wide plank and gravel surfaces make it accessible to families with (sturdy) strollers. • Runner-up Humpback Rock is a much steeper climb that will leave you winded—but impressed by the stunning mountain and farmland views.
Golf course
Spring Creek Golf Club
Runner-up: Farmington Country Club
Honorable mention: Meadowcreek Golf Course
Golf Digest, the world leader in course rankings, places Spring Creek at No. 14 in Virginia, which is pretty rarefied territory, especially since the lush bent-grass layout is one of only six among the commonwealth's top 15 that's open to the public. • Farmington Country Club is an extraordinary piece of history. The Farmington estate was patented in 1735, a Thomas Jefferson-designed building was constructed there in 1908, and the golf course, which opened for play on May 15, 1929, is a sporty layout by golden age architect Fred Findlay. It's private, so you'll need an invitation (or a membership) to play there.
Personal trainer
Justin Tooley (The Gym)
Runner-up: Vanessa Schnable (Purvelo)
Honorable mention: Ann Dunn (Formula Complete Fitness)
Last year's runner-up, Justin Tooley, is a burly strongman with an easy laugh and a way of maxing-out his clients that's so easygoing and cheerful they almost (almost) forget the pain. He has owned and trained clients at The Gym since 2011. • Last year's winner, Vanessa Schnable, owes her popularity to her versatility. In addition to yoga and cycling training, she does one-on-one sessions focusing on core work and building long, lean muscle-mass.
Yoga instructor
Liz Reynolds (Liz Reynolds Yoga)
Runner-up: Shannon Burns (FlyDog Yoga)
Honorable mention: Eliza Whiteman (FlyDog Yoga)
Liz Reynolds teaches yoga to everyone from brides (through her Zen Bride Yoga project) to ballers (namely, UVA football and soccer players). She's at the apex of her discipline, with a Yoga Alliance 500-hour training designation, certification in yoga life coaching, and training in Tantra yoga and Ayurveda. • Shannon Burns has also received the top Yoga Alliance designations, and she's the lead instructor at FlyDog, which is saying something.
Pilates instructor
Robin Truxel (Tru Pilates)
Runner-up: Carla Shifflett (Posture Studio)
Honorable mention: Ellie Tor (Tru Pilates)
Tru Pilates owner Robin Truxel's personal story—recovery from back and hip injuries using pilates and 13 marathons completed—is inspiring, and her primary focus —helping pregnant women, young mothers, and those with complicated injuries—is laudable. • Carla Shifflett's professional motivation is also personal: She opened Posture Studio to help people with chronic pain, which is just what pilates did for her.
Fitness-cycle instructor
Justin Goodman (Zoom Indoor Cycling)
Runner-up: Vanessa Schnable (Purvelo)
Honorable mention: Kristin Watson (Purvelo)
Music drives the workouts at Zoom Indoor Cycling—no surprise, since DJing is co-owner Justin Goodman's other gig. The Charlottesville native gained a musical following while he lived in Washington, D.C., and now he's drawing fans to his cycling studio in the Barracks Road Shopping Center. • Trainer Vanessa Schnable, our runner-up in the Best Personal Trainer subcategory, needs no introduction. Just do what she tells you, and you'll be in better shape.
Niche fitness studio
FlyDog Yoga
Runner-up: Orangetheory Fitness
Honorable mention: Zoom Cycle
True fact: Charlottesville has about 30 fitness studios. FlyDog is the best, according to our readers. Sick of working out on that elliptical machine? Get thee to FlyDog for traditional or heated vinyasa classes, barre and cardio exercises, and even aerial yoga, which proves that downward dogs can fly too. • Work out smart, not just hard, at Orangetheory, where personal fitness counseling and the studio's heart-rate monitors help you get the best results.
General practitioner
Katharine DeGeorge
Runner-up: Annika Abrahamson
Honorable mention: Greg Gelburd
In this photo-finish category, Katharine DeGeorge repeats her 2018 win. • Meanwhile, runner-up Annika Abrahamson noses out Greg Gelburd. Pretty cool, since they finished tied for runner-up last year.
Aaron Stump (Charlottesville Pediatric Dentistry)
Runner-up: John Knight Jr. (John Knight, Jr. DDS & Associates)
Honorable mention: Anita Neel (Aesthetic Dentistry of Charlottesville)
Aaron Stump and his team set the friendly, fun tone with a toy-filled waiting room, and allow parents to introduce their kids to dentistry with a free orientation visit. One mother whose son has autism raved about Stump's patience: The dentist sat the boy in the treatment chair and simply counted his teeth. That visit, the kid's second, quieted his fear, and his mom scheduled him for treatment. Stump's compassion is clear. • Last year's winner, John Knight, also emphasizes dental education with his patients. We'd all be better off if we had dentists like Stump and Knight when we were young.
David Hamer (Hamer & Hamer Orthodontics)
Runner-up: Bart Weis (Charlottesville Orthodontics)
Honorable mention: Suzanne Dennis
This year, Drs. Hamer and Weis repeat their 2018 selections as winner and runner-up, respectively. Experience (Weis has been at it for two decades) and service (Hamer offers options for payment plans as well as free shuttle service to the Crozet office) push these two to the top. Their expertise is a given.
Anna Magee (Charlottesville Dermatology)
Runner-up: Hannah Pearce (Albemarle Dermatology Associates)
Honorable mention: Bridget Bryer (Family Dermatology of Albemarle)
Anna Magee returns to the winner's circle this year, the spot she and her practice, Charlottesville Dermatology, held in 2014, 2015, and 2016. She's closing in on 25 years in business, and recently expanded her services with the addition of Nua The Medical Spa at Charlottesville Dermatology. • Hannah Pearce also boasts more than two decades of experience and now specializes in medical and surgical dermatology for children and adults.
Paige Perriello (Pediatric Associates of Charlottesville)
Runner-up: Robert Trundle (Pediatric Associates of Charlottesville)
Honorable mention: Heather Quillian (Northridge Pediatrics)
A former field hockey and lacrosse player at Princeton University, Paige Perriello specializes in sports medicine and concussion care for young athletes. Her father was a founder of Pediatric Associates, and she sees generations of patients that he served. Caring for kids is in her blood. • Fluent in both Spanish (and his native English, of course), Robert Trundle serves the Latino community and loves his work so much that he's the volunteer doctor at Camp Holiday Trails.
Scott Wagner (Scott Wagner Chiropractic & Sports Medicine)
Runner-up: Sam Spillman (Balanced Chiropractic & Physical Therapy)
Honorable mention: Douglas Cox (Cox Chiropractic Clinic)
A repeat winner from 2018, Scott Wagner inspires confidence with his deft touch as well as his work as the chiropractor for UVA Athletics. • Sam Spillman, also the runner-up in 2018, is a martial arts practitioner, so he knows about proper movement—and the bodily alignment that promotes it.
Jaime Easton (Spring Creek Eye Care)
Runner-up: Joe DiGirolamo (Primary Eyecare)
Honorable mention: Stephen Record (Drs. Record & Record Optometrists)
Looking good and seeing well blend seamlessly for clients (there are a lot of them, so plan on booking your appointment well in advance) under the care of winner Jaime Easton and runner-up Joe DiGirolamo.
Physical therapist
Heather Walton (Move Better Physical Therapy)
Runner-up: Kim Starr (ACAC)
Honorable mention: Bryan Esherick (Balanced Chiropractic and Physical Therapy)
An avid amateur athlete and outdoors enthusiast—volleyball, hiking, and running—Heather Walton knows that occasional injuries go with the territory, and she zeros in on how to treat them, thanks to her extensive education and experience in physical therapy. Empathy and expertise—a winning combination! • Runner-up Kim Starr also grabs a lot of votes for her specialty in treating sports injuries.
Mental health professional
Erin Bulinski (Prosperity Eating Disorder and Wellness Center)
Runner-up: Amanda Sovik Johnston
Honorable mention: William Fox
The underlying factors of an eating disorder can take a long time to diagnose and treat. Winner Erin Bulinski and her team are all-in to help clients as young as 12 by addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem issues to travel the path to full recovery from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and more. • Amanda Sovik Johnston worked with Albemarle County Public Schools students before entering private practice. With bachelor's and master's degrees and a Ph.D. from UVA, she identifies her expertise as "working with adolescents, women's issues, special education, and multi-problem families."
Martial arts school
Charlottesville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Runner-up: Gracie Charlottesville
Honorable mention: UpLevel Martial Arts
Formal training in self-defense and fighting are the norm in many cultures, particularly those in Eastern nations. Charlottesville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brings home multiple forms of martial arts, with classes for kids and adults alike. BJJ is the main course, but Krav Maga (notably used by Israeli special forces) and Muy Thai, the national sport of Thailand, round out the menu. All classes are taught in a spacious, spick-and-span gym near downtown. • Three black belts and an NCAA Division 1 wrestling champion share ownership and head up instruction at Gracie Charlottesville, named for the world-renowned BJJ practitioners Helio and Rickson Gracie. Props to the gym for offering free training to law enforcement and discounts for first responders.
Saunders-Monticello trail is accessible to hikers of all abilities.
JoJo McDuffie holds the awesome title Head of Strength at Zoom Performance Training.
A lesson in progress at Charlottesville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

This course is designed to explore the process of abstracting from the figurative world of nature and to careful editing and composition to leave space for your watercolours to 'breathe'. The landscape tradition in watercolour has been long established. The methods and techniques are familiar to beginners and advanced alike. This course proposes a refreshing new way of tackling the much loved English and even International landscape. An exciting and adventurous new method of looking involves abstraction
To abstract, needs a form of distillation, a paring down to essentials, whilst giving free range to individual expression.
Many aspects of the process will be explored from the geometric to the passionate. Each individual will have the opportunity to discover their own interests from the simple to the complex relating to the environment in a new way that will excite beginners and provoke the advanced. Although there is an existing tradition in abstract painting it is not hidebound. Each individual has the opportunity to be themselves all be it as rebels.
Paul has been experimenting with ideas for a long time will demonstrate many of the techniques and methods needed to loosen up the mind. Analysis of student work will be constant and sensitive to individual development. Dive in!
