Tito's Mariscos
220 Euclid Avenue, Logan Heights
"I bit my arm, I sucked the blood/ And cried 'A sail! A sail!' "
I swear, that's how I feel right now. Like Ye Ancient Mariner. Been cruising Imperial looking for that ceviche place I discovered 'bout a year ago. Love the smell of ceviche in the morning. Got off the trolley at 25th and Commercial, hoofed it up past God's Way Church of Deliverance, when hey hey! Spied a little pointy-roofed house painted blue on the bottom and fresh-varnished planks on top with — can you believe — a way-big model galleon, sailing full tilt above the entrance. Must be a 74-gunner. She's surrounded by nets and lifebelts and real-life fishing rods hooking crabs and lobsters. The sloping roof looks as if it were under a water spout when it stopped, splattered with flotsam and jetsam: flippers, fish, nets, wet suits, water skis, life jackets. At the apex of the roof, a sailfish arches towards the sky. Beautiful. I'm betting that fish is real. Ranchero music bubbles out from a couple of speakers on the wall. La Invasora radio.
"Mariscos Tito's," the sign says. "Since 1969."
Oh yeah? This is new. And definitely not the place I was looking for. But hey, I'm going in anyways.
As I pass through the four tables in the little forecourt, I hear roosters crowing next door. Aah. Already feels like country. The sign above the counter says, "Los unicos tradicionales cocteles de Tijuana ahora aquí en San Diego." Underneath, a translation: "Unique traditional cocktails now here in San Diego." Meaning seafood cocktails, for sure. They've been going since 1969 in Tijuana.
It all looks fresh and new. Cream tile floor, varnished pine skirting, white walls and ceiling, blue rafters, and nets, ship's wheels, life belts, and lobsters hanging everywhere.
Right now, it's just me, a guy in a kitchen area beyond the counter, and a deep fryer going whoosh! Like he just shucked a basket full of raw fish into it.
"Yes, my friend? A cocktail?" he says. "Or our special for today? Two fish tacos for the price of one."
I check the cocktails. Choice of shrimp, octopus, calamari, sea snails, or oysters. Fourteen dollars for large glass, $10 for medium. Not quite in that income bracket yet. Then I look under the "Tacos of the Sea" section. Fish taco, $2. And buy one, get one free? A buck each. Wow. Except, almost forgot why I was on this campaign in the first place. Ceviche. Ah yes. Ceviche Tostada Shrimp's $4.50, fish is $3.50.
"So you're Tito?" I ask.
"No. I'm Moises. Moises Xoxocotla. It's an Aztec name. My grandfather's."
Wow. What a great name. He pronounces it "Zoczocotla."
"So this place is new?"
"Yes, this is new, but in Playas, Tijuana, we've been going 40 years. I'm just up here two days a week. The rest of the week I manage our place in Playas. I've been with them 25 years. I have 30 people working for me down there."
"So this is, like, a chain?"
"Well, we have several places. This is our second in San Diego."
Man. That's about the third eatery chain that's moving north. I love it. Taco Bell needn't feel so guilty about heading south.
"So, cocktail? Very healthy."
"Not today. But I'll have the shrimp ceviche tostada."
And, okay, greedy, but can't pass up the two-for-$2 deal. "And the fish tacos." Heck, that's only $6.50.
I sit down at one of the little round tables. After chips and salsa, Moises brings not ceviche, or fish tacos, but a bowl of soup. Part of the deal. Chunks of fish, onions, carrots, and I don't know what all else. Ohmygod it's delicious. My slurping almost drowns out La Invasora.
Next, it's the ceviche. Mmm. I lower my nose over it. Fresh, lemony, cilantro-y, with some softening hint of a creamy ranch-type dressing.
Of course ceviche's interesting. Traditionally it's raw shrimp marinated in lime juice. They say the acid in the lime "cooks" the flesh, firms it up, and turns it opaque. But it has that deep lime-cilantro flavor and chunks of tomato and peppers and onion to make it more picante. Three slices of avocado on top add a little moist lushness to the whole mix, contrasting with the dee-lish toasted tortilla crackling underneath.
I'm about to splot a little Tapatío hot sauce on when Moises shakes his head.
"For wimps?" I ask.
He nods. "Use that Salsa Huichol. It's from Nayar." His eyes tell you we're talking heat, from Nayarit. I splot warily. I know that stuff.
Then, oh man, Moises brings out the fish tacos. Deep-fried but delicate chunks of fish held like alien life forms in giant seed pods — curled corn tortillas, that is, with lettuce, toms, and a creamy sauce good enough to make Ralph Rubio pull his hair out. The first stuffs me to the, uh, gills.
Moises' wife Xochitl — she's known as Xochi ("Zoshi") — packs the second for me to go. This'll be for Carla, and I'm making a private bet. She'll have us back down here for more so fast, I won't even be hungry.
I pay up.
"Is the sailfish for real?"
"Of course," says Moises. "It was caught off Cabo."
"You caught it?"
"But of course."
I half believe him. He has that kind of craggy face — could be the Ancient Mariner himself.

In 2014, as part of their marketing support offering, Red Bull UK approached Sweet&Chilli to create an ongoing training program for staff at their key national accounts. Specifically focusing on upselling & customer service training Sweet&Chilli produced a modulated training curriculum to be used across their on-trade client portfolio. The training not only supported Red Bull's brand message & developed sales of both new & existing SKU's, it also provided their customers with a range of relevant skills with which to develop their own businesses.
One key client was Luminar Leisure (now Deltic Group) with whom we trained their lower tier management to improve customer service & upselling within their venues. This was implemented across the estate and included multiple regional sites in each session, with some impressive results:
Over the 3 months immediately following the training, Red Bull dramatically increased its share of the functional drinks category within Luminar venues, leading to very significant net increase in revenue over those 3 months.
A superb result and a project that will now roll out to multiple national accounts.

Marisa Vitali
Marisa is a Brooklyn based actress and producer. She found acting at an early age, and after graduating from NYU Tisch she pursued a professional acting career. Soon, she became disillusioned with acting and was attracted to the instant gratification of clubs and drugs. Marisa found herself in a treatment facility at 25 years old for heroin addiction.
Marisa says acting saved her life, knowing she had other options besides a life of addiction. In treatment, she met Lawrence Sacharow (Broadway Director "Three Tall Women") who was on staff and casting his Off-Broadway play THE CONCEPT, which chronicles addicts in treatment. Marisa was cast in his show and Lawrence became a mentor, encouraging Marisa to pursue acting fulltime. She joined Michael Howard's Master Class and found a channel for the guilt, shame and resentments that she carried into recovery. Marisa credits working on THE CONCEPT and honing her acting craft as the two things that kept her clean.
Since then, Marisa has been seen in films on the festival circuit, television shows aired on HBO, ABC and ID Discovery, and in NYC theater. She has been in numerous commercials and is the voice of many audiobooks for audible.com. She was a lead in the Official Cannes Film Selection "YOU & I," directed by Christopher Scott, opposite Blake Gibbons.
Marisa produced, wrote and acted in the short film Grace, based on her struggle with heroin addiction, and has wrapped a highly successful Festival Run along with numerous Speaking Engagements at Universities. One in which was sponsored by Amazon where over $19,000 was raised for Youth Services on Long Island. She is in development of a feature film loosely based on the short film.
Marisa is a member of SAG/AFTRA, AEA, NYWIFT (New York Women In Film and TV: Serving on the Programming Committee) & WIF (Women In Film)

Proprioceptive Clues in Children's Gait./
This goes along with Mondays post. We can learn a lot about gait from watching our children walk. An immature nervous system is very similar to one which is compensating meaning cheating around a more proper and desirable movement pattern; we often resort to a more primitive state when challenges beyond our ability are presented. This is very common when we lose some aspect of proprioception, particularly from some peripheral joint or muscle, which in turn, leads to a loss of cerebellar input (and thus cerebellar function). Remember, the cerebellum is a temporal pattern generating center so a loss of cerebellar sensory input leads to poor pattern generation output. Watch this clip several times and then try and note each of the following:
- wide based gait; this is because proprioception is still developing (joint and muscle mechanoreceptors and of course, the spino cerebellar pathways and motor cortex)
- increased progression angle of the feet: this again is to try and retain stability. External rotation allows them to access a greater portion of the glute max and the frontal plane (engaging an additional plane is always more stable).
- shortened step length; this keeps the center of gravity close to the body and makes corrections for errors that much easier (remember our myelopathy case from last week ? LINK. This immature DEVELOPING system is very much like a mature system that is REGRESSING. This is a paramount learning point !)
- decreased speed of movement; this allows more time to process proprioceptive clues, creating accuracy of motion
Remember that Crosby, Still, Nash and young song "Teach Your Children"? It is more like, "teach your parents"…
Proprioceptive clues are an important aspect of gait analysis, in both the young and old, especially since we tend to revert back to an earlier phase of development when we have an injury or dysfunction.

I marvel at my bookkeeper. She was at her desk the other day swiftly and effortlessly moving through my receipts, dispatching them to their correct resting places. If it were me, I said, my back would be a giant knot of stress.
It's not that bookkeeping is especially hard, but it's hard for me. I've never studied it. I do it infrequently and reluctantly, and usually only after I'm finished an already hard day's work. I recognized I needed a pro to do it right, so I hired her.
She looked up at me, smiled, and said it's the same for her with writing. She's gone to school to be a bookkeeper; she's done it professionally for years; and she likes the nature of the work. But when she's called upon to write something, she freezes up and needs to struggle mightily to get her thoughts down.
I know very well how important good writing is and how hard it is to do. I learned the craft first as a journalist, working for a series of newspapers in Southwestern Ontario where I was called upon to write 20 to 30 stories per week. That boot camp taught me how to churn out lively, error-free (or very close) copy quickly. I learned how to write in a variety of styles. I mastered how to write leads and how to lay down words in a way that helped my readers get all the way to the end of the story.
Armed with those skills, I moved into the corporate world where I discovered how rare they were. Even as a junior in the communications department, I was commonly cleaning up the writing of senior executives and board members. They couldn't get their tenses right to save their lives. They excelled in using the latest business buzz words (and thought themselves erudite for doing so). Spelling was bad. Styleguides were non-existent. And don't get me started on the difference between passive and active voices. As skilled as some of them were in their own fields – law, accounting, sales, management – they were incompetent as writers.
One of my colleagues was notorious throughout our organization for his inability to conjugate even basic English verbs. His work was embarrassing, but he was a prolific senior executive. Barely literate letters went out under his pen to our suppliers and customers. A grade school student could have done better. The result was ongoing harm to our corporate reputation.
I recall the effect his letters would have on employees in particular. His memos were so garbled and full of inexactitudes and obfuscations that they regularly caused the rank and file to huddle together to decipher their true meanings. My department staffers would tiptoe into my office, close the door and ask for a translation. It was an ongoing distraction that needlessly hurt morale and productivity.
I'm a firm believer that the quality of a firm's communications is a measure of its whole. If its marketing and public relations tools are bad, what are we to make of its accounting, its finance, its logistics, its governance, its human resources, etc.?
So the next time you're putting together a communications piece for your organization and you're cursing the stress it's causing you, ask yourself if you're a writer trying to be a bookkeeper. If the answer is yes, then pick up the phone and call a pro. Whether it's a speech, an annual report, a blog or a newsletter, we'll make sure your message is communicated effectively.

A U.S. decision on whether to approve TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL pipeline has the potential to accelerate, or slow, investments in Canada's oil sands.
A decision on the 875-mile (1,408 kilometer) U.S. portion of the pipeline, designed to carry 830,000 barrels of crude a day to Gulf Coast refineries, is expected later this year. Stopping the pipeline would mean continued discounted prices for Canadian crude, making it harder for producers to sell their commodity at a profit and potentially slowing oil-sands development.
Current discounts of almost $30 a barrel are "unsustainable," Enbridge Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer Al Monaco said yesterday in a presentation at the IHS CeraWeek energy conference in Houston. "If we can't attract world prices, then we will ultimately curb energy development."
Canadian heavy-crude prices have plummeted relative to U.S. and international benchmarks because a lack of export capacity has created a glut in supplies. Western Canada Select, a blend refined from oil-sands bitumen, has fallen 23 percent during the past six months amid uncertainty over approvals for Keystone XL, Enbridge's Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP's TransMountain pipelines.
Slowing Development
"It's fair to say that development has already slowed because of the discount," said Robert Schulz, a business professor at the University of Calgary who specializes in the Canadian oil and natural gas industry. "Companies are certainly going to wait and see what the decision on Keystone is before moving ahead with development," he said in an interview.
Suncor Energy Inc., Canada's largest energy company by market value, has delayed a joint venture with Total SA and is considering whether to cancel an oil-sands processing plant being jointly planned with the French company, CEO Steve Williams said on a conference call on Nov. 1.
Environmentalists oppose Keystone XL because they say it would speed up oil-sands development and intensify global warming.
"Expansion depends on tar sands being able to reach the high prices of overseas markets," said Anthony Swift, a lawyer with the Natural Resources Defense Council. Without Keystone XL, plans to expand oil sands "go off the rails," he said in an e- mail yesterday.
Rail Shipments
The U.S. State Department in a March 1 environmental assessment report said Keystone XL would have little impact on the pace of oil-sands expansion, a sentiment echoed by Calgary-based TransCanada. Even if all of the pipeline projects being proposed were delayed, oil-sands development would continue because of the possiblity of crude exports by rail, said Alex Pourbaix, president of TransCanada's energy and oil pipelines, in an interview March 5.
"They may be slightly less profitable than they were because moving that oil by rail is more expensive than moving it by pipeline, but at the end of the day the resource is going to get developed," he said.
Shipping oil by rail is two to three times more costly than by pipeline and can reach as high as $15 a barrel for some distances, said Monaco of Calgary-based Enbridge.
Companies will likely invest about C$23 billion ($22.3 billion) this year to develop Alberta's bitumen reserves, little changed from 2012, according to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.

It bent my absorption because it characterized the abyss as "hackers," as it appears the annexation is demography abode by accepting admission to travelers' common flyer accounts.
In the story, Alaska Airlines was listed because the airline's common flyer afar were accessible for acquirement on the "dark web."
Aboriginal off, I accede myself a "travel hacker" although I don't appoint in this array of bent activity. Rather, I booty advantage of the "hidden in apparent sight" deals accessible to get endless of afar and credibility to advice acquit the amount of airline tickets and hotels.
Should travelers be anxious that their common flyer accounts adeptness be hacked? I accept so. Afterwards all, actuality in Alaska the common flyer accounts are array of a accumulation anniversary for travelers who allegation to accomplish last-minute or family-emergency trips. I accept accompany who own businesses and gas up their fleets application the Alaska Airlines acclaim card. Some of them coffer upwards of a actor afar per year. So if accession afraid into their account, it could be a bad thing.
But there's a big aberration amid a acceptable accumulation anniversary and your Breadth Plan anniversary with Alaska Airlines. With a accumulation account, you acquire a little bit of absorption on your money. But annihilation depreciates faster than airline miles. The accretion levels are activity up all the time. It's alleged "mileage inflation" and it's why the three abracadabra words for biking hackers are "earn and burn." That agency you accept to acquire the miles—and afresh you accept to use them afore they lose their value.
For example, Alaska Airlines has done a acceptable job alms deals for Breadth Plan members. But you accept to assignment for them. You can get a one-way admission from Anchorage to Seattle for as little as 10,000 miles. You accept to plan three weeks in beforehand to qualify. For the cheapest tickets, you accept to affix in Juneau. For any ceaseless flight on Friday, Oct. 19, it will amount you at atomic 20,000 afar one-way. Aboriginal chic is 60,000 afar one-way amid Anchorage and Seattle.
At those levels, you're bigger off to buy a drillmaster admission from Anchorage to Seattle (for $152 on that date).
In the "hacker" story, the affairs are completed application crypto-currency like Bitcoin. It's interesting, back common flyer afar additionally are a array of adumbration bill — and that's one reason you should use them bound afore they lose their value.
For example, you could acquire 30,000 Alaska Airlines afar aloof by accepting one of their Visa cards from Coffer of America. There's a $75 fee and you accept to allegation $1,000 on the agenda aural 90 days. But that's accessible if you plan on affairs airline tickets or arcade at Costco.
I accept two of the cards — and I've had as abounding as three of them at once. So you could get three of the cards yourself for $225 in fees. Afterwards charging $3,000 on the cards, you could net 90,000 Alaska Airlines afar afterwards anytime dispatch on an airplane. Congratulations — you're a biking hacker. That doesn't accommodate the accompaniment book action that you accept with anniversary card.
These mileage-building schemes are not secrets. I've heard of association who commonly administer for bristles or six Alaska Airlines cards every few weeks aloof to get the bonuses. Then, afterwards they've accustomed the benefit afar and the accompaniment passes, they aish the cards, reapply and alpha the aeon all over again.
Airline breadth action is aloof one affiliate in a biking hacker's playbook, though. Auberge costs can calmly outstrip the amount of a flight. Travelers apperceive this. Banks apperceive this and the hotels apperceive it too. That's why there's a concentrated accomplishment to use auberge stays as allurement for travelers to get accession acclaim card.
Hilton Hotels has a abundant adherence plan alleged Hilton Honors. They're alms a co-branded advance with American Express that comes with 125,000 Hilton Honors benefit points. The agenda costs $95 per year and there's a "minimum spend" of $3,000 in the aboriginal 90 days. But cardholders get "gold" cachet at Hilton Hotels (including Embassy Suites, Hampton Inns and a agglomeration of added Hilton brands). Additionally included in the action are 10 chargeless airport passes from Priority Pass.
Accession American Express action is the Starwood Preferred Guest card, which includes 100,000 SPG points. The agenda is an adapted action to accommodate Marriott Rewards, which was bankrupt into the SPG affairs back Marriott bought Starwood (Westin, Sheraton, etc.). The $95 fee is waived for the aboriginal year on this offer. Sure, 100,000 credibility is a lot, but the new SPG plan is a watered-down adaptation of the old plan, so I'm not affairs it. But if you adulation Marriott, Westin or the added hotels included in the plan, the agenda is annual considering.
In accession to hotel-only or airline-only cards, I like the "flexible spend" accolade cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. You can move the credibility about to several adherence affairs (hotel and airline), depending on your biking itinerary. I like it, decidedly the adeptness to alteration to Hyatt Hotels. Even admitting the anniversary fee is $450, there's a $300 biking acclaim and it includes a Priority Pass associates for airport lounges. American Express additionally offers several "flexible spend" cards with their Associates Rewards plans.
So sure, it's a acceptable abstraction to assure your common flyer anniversary from hackers. But the best way to assure the amount is to get active and use the miles. Plus, try a little "hacking" on your own to account some added allowances on your aing trip.

'Pineapple Express' Director Will Remake 'Suspiria' for the Big Screen!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
Way out of left field, but David Gordon Green will direct the remake of Dario Argento's 1977 Horror opus 'Suspiria'. Green directed 'Pineapple Express', 'The Sitter', 'Your Highness', and several episodes of 'Eastbound and Down' for Showtime. Casting is underway as they are looking for their Suzie, the young protagonist who travels to Europe to attend a world renowned school. After a series of brutal murders, the young American student learns that the academy is a front for something way more sinister than education. The original had a surreal, psychedelic tone that involved the supernatural, witches and a whole lotta blood.
The Boston Marathon Bombing was a horrific tragedy that only happened a few years ago, where a bomb went off at the finish line of the big marathon. People died and even more were injured. Amongst those injured was a young guy named Jeff Bauman, who lost both of his legs at that bombing. We've seen a number of films that have dealt with terroristic attacks that involve elite military teams or big action sequences. Other films might tackle a group of police officers or a group of people who have to deal with this attack. That's not the case with this fantastic and melancholy film called 'Stronger'.
We've Got The Schedule For The Dallas International Film Festival 2017!!!

Another 'Halloween' Remake is Coming From Danny McBride and David Gordon Green!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
We've talked about a 'Halloween' remake before here. Hell, Rob Zombie even made two remakes of 'Halloween', which really didn't live up to anything that resembled a horror film. But that was long ago and we like to forget such films ever took place. The original horror master and filmmaker John Carpenter, who made the original film is putting together a reincarnation of his own film and just announced that Danny McBride and David Gordon Green will be writing and directing the new film. As you probably already know, McBride and Green have a long lasting relationship, as they both worked on 'Pineapple Express', 'Eastbound and Down', and the recent 'Vice Principals'.
Hey guys, Jana here,
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. 2014 was an interesting year to say the least, most of which was great. Movie-wise, I think 2014 had some excellent films filling its theaters, but of course it had some real stinkers too. Below is my list of the Best and Worst films of 2014 with some added categories down at the bottom. I believe this year I watched over 145 new films, theatrically speaking and it was very difficult to narrow them down from 25. After some chocolate snacks covered in marshmallow cream, I finally had a TOP 10. But when you talk about the Best movies, you have to mention the worst too. My list tends to be a tad bit different from others, but hey, I'm twisted. I highly encourage you to seek out these movies – good or bad and enjoy the rest of your year.
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
I wish I had better news to write here, but unfortunately I don't. For the past eight months or so, we here at Boomstick and across the nation, have all been excited and looking forward to seeing a new film called 'The Interview' that stars Seth Rogen and James Franco. We've posted trailers, posters, and articles related to the film, which follows Rogen and Franco playing versions of themselves who are tasked with heading to North Korea and taking out the supreme leader Kim Jong-Un.
Hi, Bryan Here….
Director David Gordon Green has had quite an impressive resume over the last ten years, and this being 2014, Green is showing no signs of weakening or bowing down to the execs of Hollywood any time soon. Green's resume includes 'Pineapple Express', 'Eastbound and Down', 'Your Highness', and the more recent drama 'Prince Avalanche'. He also produced the gritty thriller 'Compliance'. Green seemed to step away from the likes of Will Ferrell, Seth Rogen, and Danny McBride, and made an unrelenting yet beautiful movie with 'Joe', which is based on a novel by Larry Brown of the same name from 1991.
'Console Wars' Receives Film Adaptation From Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg!!!
Jana B. here,
Blake Harris has a new novel dropping in May of this coming year entitled 'Console War'. Sony Pictures has already snapped up the feature rights from Atlantic Books. The behind-the-scenes business thriller that chronicles how Sega, a small, scrappy gaming company led by an unlikely visionary and a team of rebels, took on the juggernaut Nintendo and revolutionized the video game industry. Culminating in a David and Goliath face-off. The battle was vicious, relentless, and highly profitable, eventually sparking a global corporate war that would be fought on several fronts: from living rooms and schoolyards to boardrooms and Congress. It was a once-in-a-lifetime, no-holds-barred conflict that pitted brother against brother, kid against adult, Sonic against Mario, and the US against Japan.Atlantic will publish 'Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo and the Battle that Defined a Generation' in August.
Hi, Bryan Here…
Director David Gordon Green ('Pineapple Express'), has a new movie coming out called 'JOE', which stars Nic Cage and Tye Sheridan ('Mud'). This trailer is different for Cage, and looks like this will be one of the good movies for him. I can't wait to see this, as it looks different and original from anything else. Enjoy the trailer below. 'JOE' will be released in theaters and VOD on April 11th.
Hi, Bryan Here….
Director Paul Feig is on a roll these days. From his time spent on the hit show 'Freaks and Geeks' and 'Undeclared', to his big box office smash comedy 'Bridesmaids', the comedic director has not missed a step with this laugh-out-loud action-comedy, 'The Heat'. Sandra Bullock's anal-retentive and proper FBI character mixes very well with Melissa McCarthy's rough and rowdy street cop character perfectly and packs enough laughs for two whole movies. With the quick-witted and vulgar dialogue, and the chemistry between these two outlandish characters, I found myself laughing from start to finish so much, that I had tears in my eyes. Much like 'Bridesmaids', I expect this McCarthy/Feig team to score big at the box office again this weekend.
Hi, Bryan Here….
We are so excited about this here at Boomstick. The film titled 'This is the End', whish was formally titled 'The End of the World' stars James Franco, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Paul Rudd, Aziz Ansari, Jason Segel, Mindy Kaling, and Kevin Hart, and is about the end of times. Here is an appropriate trailer, which is funny as hell. Can't wait to see this.

Nationwide Children's Hospital plans to build a Close to Home center in Marysville, according to Libbey Hoang, director of planning and business development for the hospital.
Nationwide Children's Hospital plans to build a Close to Home center in Marysville, according to Libbey Hoang, director of planning and business development for the hospital.
"We have purchased land in Marysville with intent to build a Close to Home center," Hoang said.
Nationwide Children's bought 2.4 acres in the city gate area on the north end of Coleman's Crossing Boulevard.
"We are still finalizing all of our plans, so we don't know how big it will be," she said. "We do know that at a minimum, we will offer urgent care, radiology and laboratory services."
Dr. Leslie Mihalov, chief of emergency medicine at Nationwide Children's, said the hospital looks at where the patients are coming from for all of its sites and found a growing population in Marysville and the number of patients traveling to its downtown Columbus location were indications that something needed to be done.
"The ideal situation for the families is to bring the resources to them," Mihalov said. "When we think about pediatric services, we think about physicians, providers -- but also, the lab that requires less blood, the radiology that has less radiation and pediatric radiologists reading the film.
" I think that level of expertise -- if you can take it to the community, it's much better," Mihalov said.
"We recognize that we see a lot of patients and have a lot of visits from that area," Hoang said. "We've also received requests from patients and physicians who have exhibited a need for us to be there and a desire for us to be there."
The relationship between Nationwide Children's and the Union County Memorial Hospital appears undefined at the moment.
Melanie Ziegler, director of marketing, public relations and development for Memorial Hospital of Union County, gave no indication if there will be a future relationship between UCMH and Nationwide Children's.
"As we have been bound by a confidentiality agreement since our talks with Nationwide Children's Hospital initiated quite some time ago, Memorial Hospital chooses to respect that agreement and therefore cannot provide comment," Ziegler said.
Hoang said Nationwide Children's is "open to collabroating on the venture" but has no partnership announcements to make right now.
The relationship between Nationwide Children's and the city is still also undefined. Hoang said hospital officials have not made contact with anyone from the city yet.
"The hospital has had some conversations with the city, but nothing formal yet. But we will be proceeding with that very soon," she said.
"The next step is to plan out the land space, so we'll be hiring architects and engineers as well as discussing opportunities with the city and then moving forward with a developer," Hoang said.
Weather will play a role on how quickly construction starts, but Hoang believes the facility will not go live until the first quarter of 2014.
The hospital will have positions to fill once it opens but Hoang will not know how many until decisions are made about the mix of services the Close to Home center will offer.
There are currently four Close to Home facilities in the Nationwide Children's Hospital Central Ohio network, including in Canal Winchester, Dublin, East Columbus and Westerville.
Mihalov hopes to continue a successful tradition in Marysville.
"We have a very close relationship with the pediatricians in all of the communities in central Ohio, mostly because they did their training here," Milahov said.
"Over the years, we've had a really good relationship with all of the pediatricians and the family doctors in the community," said Mihalov.
"We're really excited to be going into the Marysville community," Hoang said. "There's lots of great growth there so we look forward to being a part of it."

- Mister Stylor Man is a Nebulan humanoid alien in the Generation One continuity family.
Stylor is gorgeous. Always impeccably dressed and groomed and always in the latest style. He spends most of his time primping and polishing either Chromedome or himself, and is renowned on Nebulos for his exquisite taste and dashing good looks. Though he loves the ladies, he surprisingly doesn't have the greatest luck there, since few want to spend much time with a man who's so focused on being prettier than they are. It is suspected that Stylor volunteered for the Headmaster process simply because it was trendy at the time.
His Autobot partner Chromedome, being an inveterate academic and computer nerd, is something of a frustration to Stylor, but he does his best to bring out the big guy's cooler, more social side (which he figures MUST be in there somewhere). Chromedome in return tries to get Stylor to be a little less superficial.
Marvel Comics continuityEdit
Cartoon continuityEdit
Stylor was one of the strategists participating in the rebellion against the Hive. When the rebels allied themselves with a group of Autobots, Stylor selected Chromedome to be his partner. He chose third from amongst the Autobot volunteers, and unlike Duros and Arcana before him did not state a reason for his choice. However, the fact that the only remaining alternative would been to bond with Highbrow may have had something to do with it.

Selected Poems
Lydia Grigorieva
Category: Literature, Literatuur, Poetry, Poëzie, Russian books, Russische boeken
Level: Russian Literature, Russische Literatuur
"It would be hard to imagine Russian poetry in the last half century without Lydia Grigorieva," writes eminent Russian poet and critic Konstantin Kedrov. Grigorieva is a uniquely individual voice, bucking the trends of modernist poetry to create her own distinctive and beguiling body of poetry.
Her work draws on her own remarkable life to create startlingly arresting images and metaphors, full of beauty and power, from her series that emerged from her Arctic childhood, to the troubles that beset Ukraine. Her range of influences is wide, and Beethoven, Freud, Sylvia Plath and Byron all appear in her poems as well as more familiar Russian images.
At the heart of Grigorieva's poetry is what she calls its 'musicality' – her firm belief in the power of rhyme and rhythm in creating a poetic experience. In this first major collection of her work in English, English poet John Farndon, working with Grigorieva and co-translator Olga Nakston, has recreated this musicality in English so that English readers might experience for the first time what makes her work so revered in her Russian homeland.
Translated by John Farndon with Olga Nakston.
"It is Grigorieva's "rich imagery, simplicity, and perfection of form" that drew John Farndon to her work. His translation reflects the tightness of the original poetry; Grigorieva's lyricism is more contained than Tsvetaeva's, but no less powerful. In "Arctic Circle" words have the power to make memories "resonate", "Like a ticking time bomb". Savannah Whaley, Russia Beyond The Headlines
"Now the music has returned, and been turned into English for you by a master turner. Working with Olga Nakston, the translator John Farndon has a fascinating intellectual and creative history of his own." Kate Sotejeff-Wilson, found in translation
Lydia Grigorieva
Lydia Grigorieva has been one of Russia's leading poets for half a century, the author of 15 highly acclaimed books of poetry and two novels in verse, and the creator of her own new genre of work, which she calls 'Photopoetry' which combines her own photographs and poems. She is a member of many major literary bodies, and her work has been widely translated. Her book of poems 'Celestial' was shortlisted for the Buninskaya Prize and her 'Eternal Theme' was finalist for Russian 'Book of the Year' in 2013. She won the Special Prize from the Russian Writers' Union (2010) for the best poetry book of the year for 'Dream in the Garden' and also the im. A. Delviga Prize (2012).
Grigorieva was born next to a small cherry orchard in the Ukraine but a year later was taken to the Arctic Circle, where her father was a reconnaissance pilot. After her father's tragic death in a plane crash on the ice, the little Lidia returned to Ukraine with her mother and wrote her first poems there, aged 15. Already, aged 20 and at the University of Kazan was running foul of the KGB for her unique and 'unsoviet' poetic voice, and she moved to Moscow to be under the radar. Although highly admired among her fellow writers, her work was not published until 1981.
For the last quarter century, Grigorieva has lived in London, where her late husband poet Ravil Bukharaev worked for the BBC World Service, but she has continued to write poetry, and create her own unique garden – a focus of her work – and her reputation in Russia along with her flowers, has grown and grown.

If you're in the Los Angeles area, it's time to bring your pet into Animal Emergency Centre in Studio City, CA.

Pet emergencies don't always occur during "bankers' hours" that's why we are open when your Los Angeles pet needs that midnight trip to the pet emergency room and your emergency vet clinic is closed.

The Notch Visitors Center on Route 116 in Amherst is home base to many of the educational and informational aspects of the Mount Holyoke Range State Park.
The mountain range is comprised of the Seven Sisters. It is one of the only ranges in the United States that runs east-to-west, and includes many hiking and biking trails. The Metacomet-Monadnock Trail, which runs for 114 miles through Massachusetts and from New Hampshire to Connecticut, is among those trails; so, too, is Robert Frost Trail that is named for the famed American poet.
The mountains formed around 200 millions years ago when "lava flowed from the valley floor, cooled, and was upended," according to the Notch's website. Glacial activity further developed the area into diverse birch-beech-hemlock and oak-hickory forests, along with ponds, streams, and wetlands.
The Mount Holyoke Range was home to dinosaurs millions of years ago and more recently may have played in role in Shays' Rebellion, where legend has it Daniel Shays took refuge in the Horse Caves, a series of rock outcroppings.
"There's the actual visitors center with displays of taxidermied wildlife, dinosaur fossils and footprints, facts and history of the Notch and the mountain range…. History has it that the Horse Caves were used during the Civil War," according to district ranger Peter Michaels. "The main draws, of course, are the hiking trails."
In addition to the Metacomet-Monadnock Trial, there are also smaller trails more accessible for families and children. There are trails leading up both Mount Norwottuck, with an 1,100-foot elevation and Bare Mountain. Both peaks offer spectacular views of the Pioneer Valley and farther. "Bare Mountain is more accessible for kids and you can see Hartford and Mount Snow in Vermont," ranger Michaels said.
Bare Mountain played a role in U.S. history as it is home to a bunker used as the command center for all the U.S. forces during the Cuban Missile Crisis that deadlocked then President John F. Kennedy and Russian Premier Nikita Khruschev over the Soviets' placement of nuclear weapons in Communist Cuba; the bunker was abandoned by the Air Force in 1971. The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston later acquired it for use as an emergency operations site and for records storage, and it has since been used over the years by Amherst College and the Five College Library System as a depository for books and special collections.
Staffing at the Mount Holyoke Range, like other highly-traveled state parks, is increased during the summer season which begins on Memorial Day.
Notch Visitors Center, Mount Holyoke Range State Park

Ok, ideas...
Atlanta--Go to Stone Mountain and watch the light show--largest in the world with pyrotechnics and everything. Costs less than $5.
If you are a news buff like me you can also take a tour of CNN while you are there.
Savannah--VERY historic, tons of tours and ghost tours.
South Georgia--Okeefenokee Wildlife Refugee. Wander the park until 1, then rent a canoe for half price and set out for an alligator sightseeing adventure.
About an hour away--CUMBERLAND ISLAND--ONLY 200 people are allowed on the island a day--wild horses, pigs, etc. You can camp if you like, tons of trails along the beach, old burned down mansion. Kennedy Jr and Caroline Bassett got married there.
Jacksonville--Wanna Camp? Katheryn Abbey Hanna Park is at the beach and very cool. Just north of Jacksonville you can camp ON the beach at Amelia Island.
St. Augustine--Very historical. Take the walking ghost tours, lots of fun. If you can, stay at one of the inns on the water--some are said to be haunted. And you might just see dolphins swimming in the bay.
You can see some of the places at.. www.Roadtripdivas.com

IT does not come as a huge surprise that the WPBSA came down relatively hard on Ronnie O'Sullivan on Wednesday. The world champion was fined £6,000 plus £1,000 costs for Twitter posts made by the 38-year-old, including some swiftly retracted comments on the subject of Stephen Lee's match-fixing conviction for which O'Sullivan issued a formal apology.
And it seems that the sanction was predominantly for these, rather than the other tweets about using pills to enhance performance or another referred to only as "offensive". These were adjudged to be breaches of the WPBSA members' or players' rules, while the additional £1,000 fine for "abusive, insulting and disrespectful" language towards senior referee Jan Verhaas was judged a breach of the players' contract.
When O'Sullivan suggested that Lee, whose appeal against a 12-year ban starts on January 30, was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to match-fixing he made most senior figures in the sport see red. They immediately asked O'Sullivan to effectively name names, and put up or shut up, and a retraction and formal apology quickly followed.
World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn, WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson and others spend a large proportion of their year circumnavigating the globe, being polite to dignitaries, glad-handing at opening and closing ceremonies and trying to set up the events and bring in the sponsorships that pay the players' prize-money, not least to O'Sullivan who claimed another £200,000 at the Masters.
Hearn is generally thick-skinned, very much of the "all publicity is good publicity" school of thought – except when it comes to match-fixing and the integrity of the game. Discussions were ongoing in October with various potential sponsors, including it is understood more than one interested in supporting the biggest tournament of them all, the World Championships at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.
The comments, and the insinuation that the WPBSA might sweep such things under the carpet, were damaging to those discussions, leading to Ferguson, out in China at the Shanghai Masters and normally a reserved political operator, angrily stating that O'Sullivan's comments "could cost the game millions of pounds".
The game's leaders were especially aggrieved about the idea that they would hide wrongdoing, having already spent a vast amount of time and money on the Lee case to try and ensure the sport was clean and seen to be clean, with more costs now to come on the appeal and even at this stage a possible retrial, and no guarantee of retrieving those costs already awarded against the former world No5.
The WPBSA's Integrity Unit has stated it will act promptly on any information received in confidence about wrongdoing, but what the O'Sullivan case shows once again are the perils of broad-brush, sweeping statements of opinion as fact on social media without also producing the hard evidence to back it up.

Birthday Blog -- All of Grace!/
Testimony of a Recovering Legalist: Yes, that's me...and it's all about one word...GRACE, God's miraculous and matchless GRACE.
So on this my birthday, I want to praise the Name of the HOLY ONE...for saving every day and sanctifying every day...this needy, but Christ-filled daughter of His!
This is my song! Every line has been my life...and I praise Him that...
He who began a good work in [me] will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil 1:6
Grace and Nothing More!
I thought while on this voyage long My strength God would increase And at some point along the way My struggling would cease I fought with boldness, wind and wave And yet the skirmish lost Exhausted, all provision gone The channel still uncrossed As lifeless I in stillness drift Just strength enough to pray It's only then I feel the surge That speeds me on my way
By His own hand and faithfulness He steers me toward a distant shore And the wind that billows in the sail Is grace and nothing more Yes, it's grace and nothing more
I seek the bloom of holiness He leads me deep within Reveals the hardness of my heart Unearths my hidden sin My barren soul groans in despair In brokenness I cry Oh, God, I find no hope in me A smile His sweet reply For where the tears of brokenness Have soaked the fallow ground The tender shoots of holiness Now spring up all around
Strength in my weakness Joy through the pain Hope when I'm helpless Loss my greatest gain
By His own hand and faithfulness He steers me toward a distant shore And the wind that billows in the sail Is grace and nothing more Yes, it's grace and nothing more
CHRIST IN ME, the hope of glory! Colossians 1:27 June 16, 1947

Livy-Lou, you are one sweet baby! Thanks for making every ones day a little better by your contagious smile.
You love having a little independence being able to crawl. You don't love table foods so much, but we're working on it. You're taking about 3 bottles a day, and 2 naps.
I can't believe your first birthday is right around the corner.

Abigail's Birthday
The Birthday Girls day consisted of...
Cinnamon rolls
Play date at the park where we brought cupcakes, followed by lunch at Chick-Fil-A
Color Me Mine
She loved it and was very concentrated on her art.
But not quite as concentrated and intense as someone else...
We ended the evening with pancakes for dinner and rented Winnie the Pooh.
Happy Birthday my big 3 Year Old!

We had a wonderful 7 days in Guatemala visiting Nana and Pop! The girls were good and I must admit that traveling with 3 little ones was not as bad as I had anticipated. Four adults to three kids is the way to go! Our trip was amazing! Activities consisted of:
Shopping at the Central Market Place
Children's Museum. Ben stayed home this day recovering from the flu.
Guatemala Zoo. I was impressed at how much Olivia was interested in the animals.
This picture makes me smile because it is a total sum up of our personalities...Ben and I focused in two different directions but happy as can be. Grace is a little annoyed. Abigail is very happy but you can tell a free spirit. And Olivia is waving hi to everyone and happy as can be.
An Amusement Park that is perfect for the girls. There are lots of little rides and a zoo which has a lot of peacocks walking around just waiting to be chased.
Played at the playground and pool at Nana and Pop's apartment.
Day trip to Antigua where we enjoyed the zip lines. This was Abigail's first time going and Gracie's fist time alone. The view of the Volcanoes were beautiful. Nana stayed back at the car with Olivia where they played and she took a short nap.
Straight from Antigua Ben and I had a lovely night away at "La Reunion", while Nana and Pop watched all 3 girls for the night. It was by far the nicest place we have ever been to! The room was beautiful and had it's own private pool, indoor and outdoor hot tub, indoor and outdoor shower, and breathtaking views.
Thanks Nana and Pop for the wonderful memories! WE sure love and miss you!!!

Nicola + Todd {Married}
Words by // Nichola + Todd We met through mutual friends at a job that we worked at together. It was love at first sight!
We had 2 requirements for where we got married. 1. It had to be Downtown. Todd and I had a shoebox sized apartment downtown and we have so many great memories of living in the city and being together that we knew that's where it had to be. 2. Outside ceremony. We love the outdoors and how naturally beautiful it is. I didn't want anything 'over the top' in terms of decorations for the wedding, so an outdoor ceremony fit the bill perfectly since we wouldn't need to dress it up any more that it already was.
So Todd and I aren't exactly the most traditional couple, but we did stick with the tradition of "don't see each other the night before and the day of the wedding". When we were in the bridal room getting ready at the wedding and we heard all the guys arrive, I remember being so excited that he was there and that we were moments away from being man and wife. The rooms that we were all getting ready in were really close in proximity to each other, so if had to run to the outside hall for photos or some one was trying to get to the wash room - it was like a game of frogger navigating the hall ways so that I stayed hidden and didn't run into Todd! It was all just really exciting and perfect and romantic. I don't think we will ever forget all the electricity in the air that day!
My favorite detail of the wedding was the succulents in the gold tins. I just love succulents! They are so cute and happy, so I was excited to be able to incorporate them in a way that allowed everyone to take home a piece of the wedding to help remember our special day.
We had an ARMY of flower girls! My older sister has 3 little girls, 7 year old twins and a 5 year old. Todd's brother also has a little girl who is 4. Since there is no possible way that you only pick 1 of them to be the flower girl, I asked all four of them to do it!
If I was asked how wedding planning was going about 7 months before the wedding, I replied with 'Great! It's so much fun and really easy - I don't see what all the fuss is about!'. This was about the time when my idea of wedding planning was pimping out a pinterest board and knowing exactly what I wanted. I think that was my favorite time. It was all about me and Todd's imagination and envisioning exactly what it would be like the day that we got married. It really is one of the few times in life that you can make something to this scale reflect you as a couple combining your interests and tastes with a giant party to wrap it all up!

Yes, the bugs are in the sand – they are called "noseeums", they are terrible, and the skeeters are relentless, we spray as soon as we get out of the shower and spray our place when we leave.
Straw Hat is one of our favorites, we never miss.
Really enjoying your blog, thanks for posting.
Honeymoon Trip to Anguilla – Thursday, July 25, 2013
An odd day….every trip needs one I guess. Today was ours. It wasn't a bad day. It was just…. off.
Viceroy Plunge Pools
We started the day with lounging in our balcony plunge pool. It was the first we used it, and it was great. It had heat jets that warmed the entire pool, once you turned it on. We enjoyed the pool so much that we just stayed in it for several hours, enjoying the view and some good conversation.
We eventually cleaned up to head out to Sandy Island, our planned excursion and lunch for the day. But by the time we were done fooling around in the tub, it was noon. We felt that may be too late to get started out to the small island key, so we decided to put that adventure off until Saturday. I started looking up different lunch options while Sadie got ready. We had a little miscommunication over the matter, which ended up in some mutual frustration with each other…..our first of the trip. We eventually talked it through and headed out to lunch.
Straw Hat Restaurant, Anguilla
We decided on stopping by Straw Hat to try their tomato pie, then were going to go over to a recommended Italian spot named Tramonto for lunch and some beach lounging. Straw Hat was out of tomato pie, but Meads Bay was so beautiful we didn't want to leave. So we ordered a Cubano sandwich to share, a couple virgin coladas (banana piña, and mango), grabbed some lounge chairs, and stayed for a couple hours. It was a really hot day, so the water felt especially good. We had a good talk with our server, who had worked at Straw Hat for 16 years! She told us that she flies into Miami or New York about 4 times a year to do most of her major shopping, but otherwise never leaves her native island. With the beauty of the beaches here, I can see why.
Back at the hotel, we went back in our plunge pool for another hour or so. Such a hot day. Then, we showered and got ready for dinner.
DaVida Restaurant and Bayside Grill, Anguilla
We drove to The Valley and had dinner at DaVida. We were really excited about this place because it has a reputation of being one of the very best on the island. Nobody told us the main restaurant was closed for the low season though. Ugh! However, their Bayside Grill is open year round, and it ended up being absolutely gorgeous deck seating right on the sand. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset together at our table while listening to the sounds of the surf together. Very romantic.
The food was incredible too. The crayfish tails blew our minds, and the Mahi Mahi was perfect.
Bug Spray Needed on Anguilla
We then drove around trying to find a grocery store for our next day's cooking lesson with Eulah, the chef we met at the grocery store. The directions our server gave us sucked and we could not find it. So we headed back to the hotel to have a movie night, but the in-room movies at Viceroy cost $13! We settled for TV instead. We had a hard time getting asleep and staying asleep due to the massive amounts of bug bites all over our feet and lower legs…..despite the bug spray we kept applying when we'd go out at night. They seemed more itchy than they should, so we were both going insane from them. We weren't sure if they were mosquito bites or sand flees, but either way, we scratched ourselves to bloody scabs.
The Bald Gourmet eats well and plays well on the beautiful island of Anguilla for his honeymoon.
