Well, folks, it is getting to be that time again. Winter has started to recede, and as the snow and ice melts, spring has started to rear its head. The sun has been out in much more force than the past few months, the skies are blue, and the weather is nice.
Our first game of the spring is going to be Saturday, April 3rd. Time is around 11am, we play till we get tired. We are going to be running things a little differently this year. The biggest change is that we are going to have games every other saturday. Yes, thats twice a month, so if you miss the game on April 3rd, the next one is the 17th! We will have the games regularly scheduled for the 1st and 3rd saturday of every month, so you can come out whenever you like!
We are also going to run a much tighter operation up here. As you all know, in the past, it has been a little more "relaxed" when it came to rules. We definitely had rules, and a good set of them, too. However, it strongly relied on the honor system. After noticing some people not observing all of the rules, we are going to make one major change for the safety of everyone, the comfort of the newer players, and for repeat players in general. While we had the chronograph at every game last year, we just went on everyone's word on whether or not they were chrony'd in. Well this year I have volunteered to run the chrono station, and if I do not personally see you chrono in at 300fps or less, you cannot step onto the field. 290 is OK, 299 is OK, 300 is OK, 301 is NOT. There will be no exceptions.
This is a pain for some people, I know. But it will be beneficial.
1) Newbies will have a better time. It will hurt less.
2) No unfair advantages.
3) Safety- this is the number 1 concern for our sport. Masks are only designed to take a 300fps hit, no more.
Now it is not like we have had rampant cheating or anything. Actually, to the contrary, on the whole, the players in LA are very honorable and honest. This change stems from me and others noticing (at LA and other fields) someone forgetting to chrono in, or someone unintentionally shooting hot. In LA, it is rare for someone to cheat, but people can forget. So just to make sure, everyone is going to have to chrono in front of me (or whoever may be running the chrono in my place) before they are allowed to play.
All of that aside, I have high hopes for this season. I think with the more frequent, predictable games, and better organization, we will have more players on a regular basis. I hope lots of you come out and have fun, because things are going to be a little different this year.
For more information, or directions to the field, send me a PM.
Hope to see a lot of you guys on the 3rd!

They aren't pecking feathers they just chase loose ones.
they eat and swallow without much thought to what they are eating.
I think it is just because they like to eat anything that they can see. There are so many bugs, greens, everything under the sun, they get good food
Chickens can be brutal, I have four RI reds and two white leghorns one of which is at the bottom of the pecking order and she is constantly being pecked and chased she looks like shes been run over by a very long train. I often think that I should take her and keep her seperate till her feathers come back in and she fattens up to see if it would make a difference. At least its summer time and she gets a little peace and quiet while the rest are off destroying my garden! :'(

Push Hershey to take action on Fair Trade by Halloween
With Halloween fast approaching, chocolate companies are poised to rake in the profits from consumers stocking up for trick-or-treating. This is precisely the moment that Hershey does not want a public relations disaster, so our Raise the Bar, Hershey! campaign is pulling out all the stops.
We've teamed up with Change.org, an online platform for social change, to send targeted messages about Fair Trade to five of Hershey's top executives. We've already recruited more than 47,000 signers, but we need more! Please sign our petition today!
Change.org made this timely video to illustrate what's wrong with Hershey's chocolate, and to inspire everyone to sign the petition and not buy Hershey chocolate. Watch now and please share with your friends this Halloween!
Also, this weekend, Raise the Bar, Hershey! supporters will be leading three simultaneous actions in front of the Hershey stores in New York City, Chicago, and Niagara Falls, collecting more petition signers and letting consumers know about the child labor issues that plague Hershey's chocolate. To join one of these actions, please e-mail our Fair Trade Director, Elizabeth O'Connell.
Finally, next Tuesday, Elizabeth will drive directly to Hershey's headquaters in Pennsylvania to deliver the signed petitions to company representatives in person. Right now is the moment to turn up the heat on Hershey.
Please sign our petition telling Hershey to commit to
buying Fair Trade certified chocolate »

text: When U-571 was released in 2000, its historical inaccuracies sparked a small flurry of protest. Playing fast and loose with the facts, the solid but unextraordinary WWII action film portrayed the capture of the German encoding machine Enigma as an almost solely American enterprise. That's unfair to history and the people who made it. But if Enigma, a suspense film involving the use of the Enigma machine, is in any way meant as a corrective, chalk one up for Yankee cultural imperialism. Directed by Michael Apted and scripted by Tom Stoppard, Enigma achieves a dullness that defies its pedigree and its story's potential. A convincingly haggard Dougray Scott stars as a mathematical genius who returns to the north-of-London intellectual frontlines after a sabbatical necessitated by a nervous breakdown. Flashbacks reveal the source of his woe: Saffron Burrows, an icy blonde whose mysterious disappearance seems somehow tied to British Intelligence's recent troubles interpreting the latest German broadcasts. As U-boats threaten to intercept a massive U.S. supply caravan, Scott's personal obsession starts to dovetail with his professional life, and with the help of signal-transcriber Kate Winslet, he sets out to break the code and solve the mystery of Burrows' disappearance. With all the elements in place for the sort of transcendent intellectual parlor game that's made Stoppard famous—or at the very least a stimulating thriller—the film seems curiously shy about delivering. Maybe Stoppard and Apted simply took the idea of paying tribute to the codebreakers too far. They choose to fill the screen with so much talk about code, and so little proper explanation, that only a dedicated cryptologist could appreciate it. Under the ciphering is even less than meets the eye. From its brilliant-but-troubled hero to its frumpy-but-underappreciated heroine, Enigma looks like a collection of secondhand goods. Only Jeremy Northam, acting like Cary Grant in a foul mood, offers glimpses of Stoppard's wit. Playing a roguish, sharp-tongued intelligence agent, he steals his scenes so effectively that it's hard not to wish the film were about him, instead of the ashen eggheads who saved the world from fascism one key-click at a time.

Bob Bixby of the Concord Coalition said the blame game indicates that both sides are girding for an ugly fight when the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30 and approval of legislation to fund the government is needed.
"I view it as early positioning over blame," he said. "Both sides are anticipating pretty nasty fights on fiscal policy."
Bixby noted that the House is proceeding with 12 annual spending bills that assumes the sequester cuts remain in effect, while the Senate is ignoring them for 2014.
If the result is a continuing resolution to fund the government, an automatic sequester cut will hit 15 days after Congress adjourns to implement the scheduled cuts largely across-the-board.
"This is almost guaranteeing a crack up," Bixby said.

If it doesn't get rejected then it CLEARLY shows a Woot bias towards the work of Cho.
Reputation counts for a lot, though. Cho's rep states that he's creative enough and talented enough to have this unlikely as a rip. Woot will decide what they decide, but there is no need to crucify him for it.

The other shirt on this idea gets that aspect right; the ball that's out there is swinging outside the fixture. The perspective offered by the other design is nice, too.

When I was a kid, my family picked up and moved from New York to New Jersey. I had to leave all my friends behind and start a new life. It was a journey in more than just the physical sense. I had to leave the gentle, protected world of my youth and enter a place both strange and unfamiliar. It took many years, but I survived and grew. I coped with my losses and built up new gains. Eventually I even returned to New York, where I feel at home once again.
The American peregrine falcon used to be seen all over the eastern United States. About forty years ago, though, they nearly became extinct because of pesticides like DDT. They were nearly gone forever because of adversity... less than 100 of them were to be found in all of North America. But because of conservation efforts and a breeding project organized at Cornell University, the falcons have returned. Today peregrines are known to exist in the thousands, and some peregrines thrive where you might least expect them... New York City.
They nest on bridges, skyscrapers and other structures similar to the cliffs where peregrines normally reside. New York has become a haven for the peregrine, a home they have returned to after much adversity. Ever since I heard their story I have always kept an eye out for my spiritual bird siblings. They spin and swoop, bank and dive in the air... truly poetry in motion. Even their name comes from a Latin word related to movement from one place to another. I could not help but think of them when I heard this derby's topic.

Children do extra chores to help other children
BRISTOL, Va. - Smiling children are taking laps around their school, for good health and to raise awareness.
"Students here at Washington-Lee Elementary have been doing heart healthy exercises and during those heart healthy exercises, they've also learned about the heart being a muscle and how to keep their heart healthy," says teacher Rhonda Greene.
These third graders are helping raise awareness of Congenital Heart Defects.
"They did that in honor of my son who was born at Vanderbilt last year, and had to have heart surgery. This year they've taken it beyond me and my family. Our school is dedicating it to all congenital heart babies in the area," Greene says.
Not only are these children taking steps towards a healthy heart, they've also raised money by doing extra chores around the house.
"They've been bringing in their own allowance money to have a contest to see which homeroom could collect the most."
Because of their efforts, more than $400 dollars was raised for 'Mended Little Hearts'. Agnes Rhodes with the organization says she's grateful for their help.
"We are so thankful for all that they've done to help us spread awareness, so we can make more families aware of a child being born with a heart defect," Rhodes tells us.
Beyond Mrs. Greene's classroom, Morgan Glovier spent months trying to raise money for baby Ryan after he was born with a CHD.
"I came up with the idea to make earrings out of post-it notes, because it would be cheap, and we'd be able to raise a lot of money that way," Glovier says.
Because of these children, they are not only spreading awareness, but also spreading kindness.

"San Francisco these days?It's like a groovy Mayberry!" Ben Ospital tells
me on my first night in town. We are lingering over a three-hour dinner with
his sister, Chris, at Quince, a restaurant in the once down-and-out neighborhood
of Hayes Valley, just west of the Civic Center. Ben is a native San Franciscan
who owns, with his mom and Chris, the nearby MAC (Modern Appealing Clothing)
boutique, which stocks avant-garde Belgian designers like Walter van Beirendonck
and has been a mainstay for local fashion mavens since the original store opened
downtown on Post Street, 25 years ago.
I mention some of the people I plan to talk to while I'm in town—hotelier
Chip Conley, artist Catherine Wagner, restaurateur Dennis Leary—and it
turns out Ben has hung with all of them at one time or another. The small-town
grooviness that he speaks of comes from places like Quince: a clean white room
with an easy blend of high and low, a seamless mix of the elegant and the egalitarian
that I will come to see as emblematic of San Francisco itself. At Quince, the
nuanced food could not be more carefully prepared. The chef trained at Chez
Panisse, and the menu is so obsessed with freshness, it offers the provenance
of every chop and bean—but the vibe is unpretentious, and Ben tells me
the owner bought the unmatched vintage tableware on eBay.
I know Ben from fashion circles (the worldwide coterie of Belgian-fashion fans
is even smaller than you might think) and he has been urging me for the last
few months to check out San Francisco's renaissance firsthand. My last trip
was during the height of the dot-com boom, when every restaurant was booked
way in advance, and I nearly starved looking for simple food—anything—on
a Saturday night. Now, with the cyber interlopers having vanished into thin
air, things are at once calmer and cooler; the inmates, to everyone's relief,
are back in charge of the institution. With the reopening of the De Young Museum
imminent, and new boutique hotels, galleries, bistros—whole neighborhoods!—popping
up practically overnight, Ben's pleas of "Come visit!" became impossible to
Indeed, when I ask the Ospitals over dinner to tell me everything they love
about their hometown, their enthusiasm is overwhelming. "We love eating outside
at the Foreign Cinema, where they show old movies on the wall, and late nights
at Emmy's Spaghetti Shack, and Mexican hot chocolate from Mijita in the Ferry
Building," Chris, who has fire enginered hair, tells me. Anything besides food?
"Well, the art galleries at 49 Geary are great," Ben adds. "Oh, and Amoeba Music
in the Haight, which is so good that a guy in Antwerp asked me about it. And
let's not forget the gospel service at Glide Memorial Church." Church?"The
pastor, Cecil Williams, is our local Martin Luther King Jr.Bill Clinton goes
when he's in town. Socialites hand over their Mercedes keys and sit in the pews
between ex-cons and drag queens."
I will encounter countless examples of this extreme lack of snobbery, this spirited openness,
wherever I go in the Bay Area. There's an earnestness, a touching lack of cynicism here that
to my jaded East Coast eyes is a revelation. Though politically progressive ideas are an integral
part of the city's heritage—S.F. was, after all, the cradle of three radical 20th-century
social movements (the Beat Generation, hippies and the Summer of Love, and the fight for gay
rights)—this resurgence of unbridled optimism seems fairly recent. San Francisco is
finally recovering from what one person I talked to described as "a five-year hangover after
a five-year binge." Now, at long last, the migraine is clearing.
On the theory that nothing lifts a hangover like a good bar, I go to meet the
masterminds behind Otis, a combination restaurant-hangoutprivate club near
Union Square, at the site of the former Iron Horse, which used to be an old
boysmartini sort of place. Damon White, one of the partners, grew up in Harlem
and worked in Los Angeles as an actor and a promoter before arriving in San
Francisco. He says he noticed there was something lacking in the local nightlife:
sex appeal. So White and his partner, Joseph Latimore, burrowed into their Rolodexes
and decided they could make a significant mark by creating a club in the most
traditional sense: one with a members-only policy. It would be a sort of Soho
House for the Golden Gatesociety set, a West Coast outpost of the kind of spot
more readily associated with New York or London or Berlin.
In fact, Nicolo Bini, Otis's architect, cuts quite a figure in local society
(I see his photo in the social pages of the paper three times while I'm in town).
Bini tells me he looked at the city itself for inspiration: Otis's eclectic
décor reflects San Francisco's nutty amalgam of flamboyant and folksy—a
mural is painted with gold leaf, the light fixtures are modeled after costumes
worn by Moroccan belly dancers, and porcelain antlers decorate the walls. "There's
so much here, such cultural diversity," Bini says, beaming. When I point out
that Otis's door policy seems antithetical to the ethos of the town, he looks
genuinely hurt. "No, no! We're going to find a way to have different age groups,
different income levels. We want diversity! We want it to be like a juke joint."
I have my doubts—it hasn't been my experience that freewheeling, inclusive
nightspots have a VIP list—but then again, there's something sweet about
this longing for sophistication and polish in a city that tends to eschew the
merest whiff of affectation.
Though Otis is Union Square's single haute boîte, there have long been
plenty of high-end shops in the area, including Gump's, the old-line San Francisco
department store that sits just across the street from Otis. As long as I'm
in the neighborhood, I visit a few favorites: Lang Antiques, for its ravishing
heirloom jewels; Babette, whose Issey Miyakeish clothes are perfect for travel;
Wilkes Bashford, where I covet the alligator loafers; and Three Bags Full, a
sweater store specializing in hand knits, many from England, that sell 12 months
a year in this crisp climate. I pause for a moment to mourn the passing of City
of Paris, a department store with a fabulous glass dome on Union Square. Neiman
Marcus gutted the space (save for the dome, which is still extant) after preservationists
waged, and ultimately lost, a fierce battle.
Early the next morning, I take a taxi to the almost finished De Young Museum.
The driver, who is brimming with enthusiasm as he takes me out to the site,
is hardly the only one excited about the museum's new building—Nicolo
Bini fairly crowed when I brought up the De Young. "It's turning San Francisco
around! There have been a lot of naysayers, but it'll knock your socks off!"
I'm ready to lose my socks as the cab meanders through Golden Gate Park and
pulls up to the reborn museum, which, despite its avant-garde exterior—including
a striking overhang, ribbon of windows, and spectacular observation floor—looks
right at home in the park.
The old De Young was irreparably damaged in the 1989 earthquake. When it came time to rebuild,
municipal funding problems emerged, so Dede Wilsey, a reigning society queen (and the subject
of a scathing new memoir by her stepson, Sean Wilsey, that casts her as an evil stepmother),
raised the money single-handedly. The famed Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron
was hired to design it, and though the result is uncompromisingly modern, the De Young is
nothing like, say, New York's Whitney Museum, a building that always seems to have a chip
on its massive shoulder.
The angular, copper-clad structure, which manages to be both dramatic and inviting,
will patinate to a rich green as the copper oxidizes, a process that in the
sea air may be more rapid than the planners at first imagined. The patterns
embossed on the copper have a pretty amazing backstory: the architects photographed
dappled sunlight on the building through the tree canopy, translated the images
into stencils, then transferred them onto the façade. There's not a single
duplicated pattern in the 960,000 pounds of sheathing, and, in a nod to the
environmental consciousness of the city, all the metal is recyclable. Inside,
the galleries offer an unusual sense of transparency—showcases are constructed
so that you can walk around an object and view it from all angles.
My second stop is photographer Catherine Wagner's warehouse studio, in the
Mission District. The renowned San Francisco artist's show "Re-Classifying History"
will be the inaugural exhibition at the De Young's Connections Gallery. As I
enter Wagner's sun-flooded workspace, she's poring over photos of an installation
she did for the Comme des Garçons store in Kyoto. Wagner and I bond over
a shared love of Rei Kawakubo; the artist says she sometimes finds things on
sale at Susan, the one place in town that stocks a good assortment of Japanese
designers. Indeed, when I visit Susan, on Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights,
a few days later, I'll spend a lot of time trying on clothes by Undercover,
a Tokyo label so wacky that it's exceedingly hard to track down even in Manhattan.
Then I'll wander around the neighborhood, which is hushed and expensive and
feels like a West Coast East Hampton. (It's the sort of place where Carrie Bradshaw
might have shopped if she'd married Big and moved to Napa.)
For part of her De Young installation, Wagner is making a video in which she
asks foreign-born Americans to give their impressions of Christopher Columbus.
One of her interviewees is Charles Phan, who opened the incredibly popular Vietnamese
restaurant Slanted Door in the Mission in 1995. (He has since moved to digsin
the Ferry Building with sweeping bayfront views.) Phan also happens to be among
Wagner's best friends: he threw a birthday party for her at the restaurant when
she turned 50 last year.
"This is such a small town," Wagner admits. "My art-world friends are always
asking me, 'When are you going to leave that sleepy little fishing village?'"
But she's fiercely loyal. "We're still recovering from the trauma. Before the
dot-commers lost all their money, you couldn't get into your favorite restaurant.
Or, you'd be sitting at a table next to a 21-year-old who didn't even like wine,
and he'd ask the waiter, 'What's the most expensive bottle on your list?We'll
have that.' Well, now all those people are back living with their parents."
Wagner says she can feel the town returning to life—Valencia Street's mélange
of traditional Latino businesses cheek by jowl with boutiques; the new Muni light-rail line
down Third Street; the massive project to redevelop the Mission Bay waterfront; and, perhaps
dearest to her artist's heart, the fact that San Francisco will soon boast not one but two
world-class museums—the fantastical De Young and the San Francisco Museum of Modern
When I tell Wagner that I'm off to interview hot chef Dennis Leary at his minuscule
new restaurant, Canteen, in the Tendernob neighborhood (set between the Tenderloin
and Nob Hill), she says, "Tendernob?That's new! Never heard of it." I'm taken
aback for a moment, but realize that neighborhoods are springing up so quickly
that even the most clued-in residents may have missed a newly minted moniker.
Dennis Leary, who looks like Steve McQueen during his Cincinnati Kid period, opened his 20-seat luncheonette in the former coffee shop of the Commodore,
a fleabag recently brought back to life as a budget boutique hotel. When I enter,
he's sitting on one of his counter stools, dressed in checked pants and white
chef's jacket. Leary was the prize-winning chef at the famed Rubicon in the
Financial District (co-owned by Robert De Niro) for six years, so he's the perfect
person to ask about San Francisco's reverence for good food. We chat about the
city's tradition of culinary appreciation. There's the fact that it was settled
by Spanish, Italians, and Chinese (all from food-centric cultures); there's
also the city's proximity to some of the best agricultural regions in the world.
Then there's the theory that San Francisco has always been a boom-and-bust town,
with the gold rush, then silver, then railroads, and, most recently, the dot-coms.
("Restaurants are an expression of good times," Leary explains.) And finally,
there are the mavericks like Leary, chefs whose influence branches out
across this small-town city.
Canteen, which receives a rave review in the Chronicle two days after
we talk, reaffirms Leary's decision to leave behind big corporate jobs. "I wanted
a stripped-down experience—no pretensions, good service, serious food,"
he says. "It's been fun not working for anybody."
Leary says his vision as a restaurateur is particularly suited to his city. "I want to do this with a sense of humor. San Francisco can't carry off something really fancy like New York. I get socialites, a lot of foodies, old bachelor guys who've lived alone for years, a lot of gay couples. It's a real mix."
Even as the city welcomes new ultramodern elements, some people cling to its
vintage hallmarks. Surprisingly for such a forward-thinking chef, Leary turns
out to be one of these old-fashioned souls. Just as he embraces retro décor
and dishes like pot pie at Canteen, Leary loves the sentimental side of San
Francisco: the camera obscura at the Cliff House, high on a bluff over the Pacific;
the WPA murals in Coit Tower; and the old seal on the floor of the Ferry
Building. He sighs. "There's a kind of quirkiness here that refuses to die.
You see naked people running down the street all the time here! It's a freak
show and I love it." (I think this is pure hyperbole, but the very next day
I see three older guys, stark naked, riding bikes on the Embarcadero with FREE
SPEECH scrawled across their backs. Certain things about this city will never
After two nights in the dimly lit recesses of the Ian Schragerowned, Philippe Starck-designed
Clift hotel, where I spend my off-hours curled up on a mammoth ivory divan under a faux-mink
throw, I move to the Hotel Vitale, a brand-new property on the Embarcadero. If the Clift is
about smoldering glamour, the Vitale is about health and sunshine and relaxation: there are
complimentary yoga classes and soaking tubs on the roof, the concierge can arrange a Rolfing
session upon request, and a video of migrating birds plays in the elevator. Hotel Vitale also
has startling 180-degree views that take in the Bay Bridge and the Ferry Building, a landmark
so beloved that the legendary Chronicle columnist Herb Caen once observed, "The waterfront
without the Ferry Tower would be like a birthday cake without a candle."
The Ferry opened in 1898, and for decades visitors passed through its portals
when they arrived in the city by boat. But with the coming of the automobile,
the building fell into obscurity; by the 1950's it was being used for humdrum
office space. The Embarcadero Freeway was practically the last straw.
It went up in 1958 and shut out the tower's light and air for over 30 years.
Then something oddly miraculous happened: the 1989 earthquake caused so much
damage to the freeway that the city decided to tear it down. Fourteen years
later, a splendidly renovated Ferry Building reopened, showcasing—what
else?—gourmet food.
Chip Conley, the 44-year-old CEO of Joie de Vivre, the company behind the Vitale
and several other boutique hotels in town, agrees to spend a morning showing
me around the Ferry Building, where Saturday shopping has become an institution.
Conley is anxious to take me to Boulette's Larder, one of his favorite Ferry
Building stops, where we ogle the local foodies, who are in turn ogling a vitrine
full of quails stuffed with farro and currants. "Alice Waters shops here,"
Conley whispers reverently. We drop in at Mijita to try the Mexican hot chocolate
favored by the Ospitals, then head over to the historic Filbert Street steps
on Telegraph Hill, where Conley used to live.
Filbert Street, an almost vertical neighborhood of mid-19th-century cottages,
is reachable by a series of incredibly steep flights of stairs. I huff and puff,
almost too winded to enjoy the gardens lining the way and the—literally—breathtaking
views spread out in front of us. Conley reminds me that this is where Armistead
Maupin set Tales of the City, his campy, sex-filled novel of San Francisco
in the seventies. "One of the characters was based on Pat Montandon," he says,
which is funny: Montandon is Sean Wilsey's birth mother. Small town, indeed.
Conley drops me on Market Street, where I order a delicate silver bracelet
from Jeanine Payer, a jeweler with a distinctive style: she engraves sweet sayings
in tiny script on her pieces. You'd think her store would be on a picturesque
little lane, but she sits just a stone's throw from Old Navy. It's another example
of how San Francisco defies expectations—in most cities, exquisite jewelry
boutiques are not located next to discount emporiums.
Then I grab a cab to Valencia Street, past used-book shops and feminist bathhouses,
and visit 826 Valencia, also known as the Pirate Store, David Eggers's tongue-in-cheek
shop and literacy project. Here you can buy glass eyes and striped sailor shirts
while contemplating a huge vat that turns out to be an actual tub of lard. But
it's not just a funky junk store. In true San Francisco fashion, it has been
committed to higher purposes, including writing seminars and other cultural
activities (such as hand-shadow demonstrations).
Across the street, and in a radically different frame of mind, Den offers Midcentury Modern
furniture. In fact, the whole neighborhood is dotted with various insouciant boutiques. These
places have a homegrown, offhand quality, in marked contrast to the neighborhood's restaurants.
Here, as everywhere else in the city, the bistros are invariably more lushly appointed than
the boutiques.
Before I leave town, I want to make sure I take a closer look at Hayes Valley, which is either
incredibly cool or completely overrun with precious shops, depending on who you talk to. Like
the Ferry Building area, Hayes Valley was a neighborhood able to make lemonade from the '89
earthquake: when U.S. Highway 101 was damaged and subsequently pulled down, new life bloomed
in the raffish quarter, which had previously been cut off from the fancier Civic Center neighborhood.
Now there are stores like Alabaster selling Fortuny velvet fabrics, mother-of-pearl frames,
and exquisite French Deco breakfronts; and Zonal, where picture frames are made from Iowa
barn doors.
I stop by MAC to say good-bye to the Ospitals; it's Saturday afternoon and the space is like
a town square, with neighbors stopping in, babies and dogs in tow, to shoot the breeze. I
admire a tiny shirt by a local designer who uses preCivil War prints for his 21st-century
styles, and then fall into conversation with a young dad who tells me I better not dare leave
San Francisco without having coffee at Blue Bottle Coffee Co., an artisanal micro-roaster
in Hayes Valley with a cult following. As I dive into the windy sunshine I hear him call out
behind me, "Be sure to get the ginger scone!"

With its remade Ferry Building—a mecca for food mavens—and a fresh slate of first-rate restaurants, San Francisco has sealed its reputation as a culinary capital. Many of the best spots are a short walk or cab ride from downtown.
Pizzaiolos pull perfect pies from a wood-fired oven, and patrons gather
at the bar, sipping wines from southern Italy and sampling simple but sophisticated
Neapolitan dishes such as petrale sole with capers and lemon leaves.
The small-plates trend was growing tiresome when this Basque tapas restaurant
brought it back to life. Grilled meats and marinated seafood in Mini Me portions
and rotund sandwiches known as bocadillos make for relaxed, elbows-on-the-table
eating that complements the casual atmosphere.
Dinner for two $50
710 Montgomery St.; 415/982-2622
Boulette's Larder
Like a quaint culinary lab, this small open kitchen in the Ferry Building produces
sauces, crèmes, and stocks for discriminating home cooks. At night a
large farm table (available for group reservations only) becomes a stage for
some of the city's most magical meals.
1 Ferry Building; 415/399-1155
Imagine if the Fonz had gone to cooking school in France. What was once a worn-out coffee

with flair but without fuss. Dinner for two $50

as cooking comes to art.

Slanted Door
Charles Phan's fans have followed his rise from his original place in the dog-eared Mission
District to his new home in the gleaming Ferry Building. The food remains the same sharp vietnamese
cuisine, light on the grease, heavy on the organic ingredients.
1 Ferry Building; 415/861-8032
George Morrone, a chef never afraid of extravagance, goes for a big change in mood and
a slight change in food. The space is intimate, with soft leather touches and latticed woodwork,
and the menu, true to the restaurant's name, offers creative versions of the rare and the
raw (think ostrich tartare with pink peppercorns).

Town Hall
Brick walls and straight-backed chairs whisper of a luxurious colonial schoolhouse, but the
scene at the bar clamors of the Financial District after dark. The menu delivers comforting
regional accents: gumbo from New Orleans, roasts and mashes from the heartland, and fennel-rich
cioppino that smacks of San Francisco itself.

It doesn't surprise me Greg Stumbo wants to put a statue of Muhammad Ali in the Capitol Building, like Ali, Stumbo dodged the draft and Vietnam War too. He was born August 14, 1951 and turned 18 in 1969, the war was still raging. Mr. Ali did more than dodge the draft, he gave aid and comfort to the enemy that was killing United States military personnel. At most, Mr. Ali would have been in Special Services and could have been invaluable to promote racial harmony amongst the troops serving in Vietnam. Mr. Ali stated he was a conscientious objector, he could have been classified 1-0-S, conscientious objector status and exempt to combatant and non-combatant training on religious grounds but still required to serve in alternative service not in the Armed Forces. The fact being, Mr. Ali thought he owed nothing to this country and used the Vietnam War as an excuse and was really protesting the draft and the very idea, he might have to serve. I haven't seen him protesting the conflicts and wars since Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq still going on right now. I certainly am in favor of a prominent African American born in Kentucky having a statue in the Capitol Building, many more deserving that Mr. Ali. Mr. Garrett Morgan, inventor and entrepreneur born in Paris, Kentucky invented the respiratory protective hood, precursor to the gas mask and saved lives in a tunnel explosion in 1916. Mr. Morgan also invented the traffic light, two devices that have save millions of lives. Another great African American much more deserving than Mr. Ali is Carl Brashear, born in Tonieville, KY and the first African American to become a U.S. Navy Master Diver in 1970. Even the amputation of one of his legs, during a recovery mission searching for a nuclear bomb aboard a B52 that crashed, didn't stop him from again being the first amputee to become a certified Navy Master Diver The movie, MEN OF HONOR is the life story of this patriotic African American, who even though experienced the same discrimination like Mr. Ali, still served his country and set an example for all Americans. Mr. Ali doesn't deserve to be honored in Frankfort and when Mr. Stumbo brings the subject up again, maybe he should take a trip to the Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial and while looking at those 1,103 names reflect how they and their families might feel about honoring Mr. Ali.
Carl Brashear, is more heroic than Ali will ever be. His statue belongs in the Capitol Building. This is not a decision Greg Stumbo should make. Ali center is enough for this draft dodger.
I am in total agreement. There are lots more African American born and raised in Kentucky that are MUCH MORE deserving that Cassius Clay, aka Muhammad Ali. I remember well when he came forward saying he was a conscientious objector and then apparently when all else failed, he changed his name and religion which, in itself, would not be a bad thing if not done for the wrong reason. He avoided the military and the draft by doing this while others went into the military and served their country to make it safer for him and everyone else. So many younger people do not remember these events and haven't been taught about this for whatever reason. Some things in history have been "swept under the rug" so someone wouldn't be offended or labeled racist. I agree with JT that any of the other African Americans he named are much more deserving not Clay, aka Ali. Stumbo may think we have forgotten but we haven't.
Thank you, Sir, your support is greatly appreciated and also your kind comments about those of us that served make me even prouder I went when my country called! God bless you and your family.
I was not aware that Ali "gave aid and comfort to the enemy." Could you provide more specific information on that?
Dear Mr. Greg_F,
Sir, Mr. Ali gave aid and comfort to the enemy by his open and vocal opposition to the war in Vietnam. The enemy, the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong (South Vietnamese Communists) used that public and vocal opposition to their advantage to urge their people to keep fighting no matter how many casualties it took which is exactly what happened; unfortunately, that also meant more Americans being killed because of this resistance not to quit by the enemy. I also ask you this, Sir, what wars and conflicts since Vietnam have you seen Mr. Ali and the many other Vietnam War Protestors participate in since the Vietnam War ended on April 30th, 1975? Please don't take my word for it, read the words of Ho Chi Minh, General Giap and other leaders from the NVA and VC (National Liberation Front). I would be the first to agree that African-Americans at that time, especially in the south, had no rights themselves because they lived under JIM CROW LAWS that discriminated against them because of their color; having said that, Mr. Ali would have been in SPECIAL SERVICES and would have not had to fight a day in his military career. The powers that be treated Mr. Ali and other African-Americans as second class citizens but this country also afforded Mr. Ali the opportunity to earn millions of dollars and he could have used his pulpit as a soldier to ease racial tensions in the non-combat units and to go around and visit the soldiers at the FIRE SUPPORT BASES but he chose not to serve. Mr. Ali was a prominent American figure at the time of the Vietnam War and his opposition and image was used by the enemy to show that it would be a matter of time before the American public would tire of the war and quit but in the meantime more Americans died. I have no hatred nor ill will, Sir, against Mr. Ali but he certainly doesn't deserve to be honored with a statue in the Capitol of the Commonwealth Of Kentucky when we have other more deserving prominent African American citizens, one being Master Chief Carl Maxie Brashear. If you saw the movie, MEN OF HONOR, then you know the story of this great AMERICAN. Facing the same discrimination and Jim Crow laws as Mr. Ali, although NOT having high priced lawyers and advisors to help shield him from those injustices, Master Chief Brashear chose to serve his country and proved that African Americans were every bit as tough, loyal, intelligent and patriotic as any other American! If a statue of a prominent Kentuckian that is African American ancestry is to be put in Frankfort, hands down Master Chief Brashear deserves it so much more than Mr. Ali. This is my opinion, Sir, and thank you for asking.
Nowadays, Muhammad Ali is a sick and shaky old man and most Kentuckians are simply too polite to embarrass him in public by recalling the truth about his past. There's a lot that could be said that isn't pretty. No matter how unflattering, everything JT said is true. If I were Stumbo and I really cared about the dignity of a broken old man like Ali, I'd shut up.
I agree with you, Sir, and your reply was eloquent and "hit the nail on the head!!" As I said above, I have no ill will nor hatred towards Mr. Ali and we agree 100% that Stumbo should just SHUT UP but like most politicians, Stumbo is looking for votes at the expense of the valor, service and feeling of many Vietnam Veterans and their families. Great reply, Sir!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Aug 7, 2013.
You're are always having fun there :-) .
We could drop JJ, Singler, or Bynum to make room for Mejia, and it would seriously upgrade our roster.
Even just dropping Bynum might ensure a playoff berth.
Where's Rascoe when you need him............
You are not a good person.
I am just letting this play out. Traitors are being identified, their phones and banking records tapped, their families under surveillance, their private communications analyzed. There is a cost to maintaining a republic, and today that cost is loyalty to Will Bynum. This is obviously me making a joke, I only have access to banking records at this time...
Oh I didn't know he's THE Rodney White! He replaced Renaldo Balkman who was sent home after choking a teammate on live TV during a Petron game. That was a bizarre scene. Street ball in the Philippines is literally played along the streets, while wearing flip flops haha. What we lack in height, we make up with "ingenuity" -- no-look passes, double/triple clutch shots, circus layups. Even without the dunks, it's still pretty entertaining! Thanks for sharing Linwood =D
keep up the good fight!!!!
Anybody who doesn't like Bynum should have to spend a weekend with Darth BillLaimbeer TheeFTD ...oh, never mind......
Spot on!!! A playoff berth is where its at. But I am seriously doubting the new coach, even with major prodding from Dumars to improve the draft pick, will mess this up so badly as that we miss the playoffs.
In other words, status quo will be maintained...
Ok, so lets assume we trade away CV for Big Baby Glen Davis. The stats say he is a better defensive center vs. a defensive power forward. (while a poorer scorer at center - so we can't call on him too much for scoring if we ask him to play center.) I note also that he rebounds equally well whichever position you put him at. (from 82games.com) So here goes - trying to put as much firepower in the 2nd unit as possible to make it be not just a defensive unit. Start Jennings, Pope, Smith, Monroe, Drummond. 2nd unit) Billups, Datome, Mitchell, Harrellson, Glen Davis This leaves out, in order of importance (imo), (remember, this assumes we traded away CV for Glen Davis), Siva, Stuckey, Singler, Bynum, JJ Of note, this rotation puts Smith at small forward every minute he is on the floor. It allows our starters to play as a unit a whole lot too. You take the good, with what may be the bad. (while hoping we can make it work just fine and Smith can dominate the league's small forwards something fierce. After all, you sure can't switch and ask a small forward to try and box out Drummond.)
I'm picturing a Pistons bench of Balkman, Ivan Johnson, Ricky Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, and Jerry Stackhouse. Like the Denver Squirrels come to life. The PBA is really awesome to watch. I wish there was a place in Seattle to really follow the games. I think the fact that they are played on the other side of the world makes it difficult to really follow them... but some enterprising Filipino bar owner should Tivo those games. I think, strictly based on names, I would be a big fan of the Talk and Text Tropang Texters. The Tropang Texters should try to pick up Charlie V in a couple of years; he will be out of the NBA, and those Bentley payments will still be due... the Texters might be able to get him to hoist a few threes (Cuz he STILL doesn't play in the paint) and shoot off a few tweets.
If Talk and Text is serious about bringing in Charlie then they need to add Tweeting to their team name.
The PBA really has the worst team names in all of sports. I am a fan of Talk 'N Text. So please, I have had enough of that tweeting turd.
Filipinian basketball is awesome, they went to final of FIBA Asia Champion Tournament 2013 against Iran where Iran eventually won and Hadedi was the MVP . It was two weeks ago.
I love basketball. I wish that the rest of the world was more available to me as an American fan.
It is getting better all the time. 20 years ago, you wouldn't have been able to talk to anyone who knew anything about the PNBA.
We probably wouldn't even know that the PBNJ even existed.
Hmm, been researching the guy a bit. First, he did not even play hardly any basketball in his first two seasons at Kentucky. Something to do with a coaching change. So really, he only played the one season, as far as being able to figure out anything from his college career at Kentuckey. Now, to my point - from what you saw, would you imagine that he would become a consistent 3 point shooter (34%), both in the NBA and other lesser leagues? Or, even in the far less talented China League, put up 22-18 numbers? All I am saying is that he is showing improvement, and having started at about 15 years old to even do the very first thing in basketball, and still being about 24 years old now, just might have an upside yet.
Separate names with a comma.

Re: Cat 25
Blown out sail are just inefficient at translating wind power to forward motion, particularly when sailing close-hauled. In such a case, hull speed has little to do with it, because the sort of boat we're talking about here has a hard time getting all that close to hull speed on that point of sail unless the water is particularly flat. Usually, when sailing close-hauled, a small displacement boat is slowed by the oncoming waves so much that it can't really accelerate to hull speed before the next wave. It isn't their hull speed that slows them down so much as their lack of forward momentum relative the the waves. When a wave slows the boat the wind tends to cause excessive heel because that's the only thing it can do when the forward motion of the hull is impeded by having to climb a wave face. Good sails simply give the boat the extra power needed to keep moving.
Downwind, or better yet on a broad reach, is a very different story. In that case you can accelerate down the face of the waves in a following sea and stay above hull speed for much of the time.
The bottom line is that to say, "Once at hull speed, any additional power (from more sail area, or greater lift of the existing sail area) will just be wasted..." is just plain wrong. Even at hull speed, added power will result in added speed. Granted, not as much added speed per unit power as one can expect at velocities less than hull speed, but added speed nonetheless.
Re: Cat 25
At the risk of kicking the hornet's nest again, I'll offer one other suggestion. Feel free to disagree if you like.
If you end up with a boat with older sails, you might consider refurbishing your old sails as a lower cost alternative to new sails. It will not do miracles, but in my experience it can make a positive difference.
My old genoa was hopeless, and tore in a 32 kt squall at the end of my first season with the boat. When I inspected the fabric that tore, it was clear that the UV had degraded it pretty severely, and there was basically no fabric left on the outer edges where the sun penetrates into the furled sail. I decided to replace the genoa with a new one.
My mainsail is also fairly old (OEM sail on a 1998 boat), but generally in better shape than the jib was. I was concerned that the fabric was getting flimsy, so I thought re-resining could enhance its strength. I sent it to Sailcare for cleaning and chemical treatment (basically re-resining). I also knew that the sail had a little more draft than optimal, and the location of maximum draft was a little further aft than it would be on a newer sail. I considered this acceptable for the casual sailing that we do, and did not expect the Sailcare treatment to help with that problem. But I was pleasantly surprised that the refurbished sail was not just crisper, but did have much better shape, and I could move the point of maximum draft further forward when I needed to. I had not paid to have the sail re-cut, so I'm not sure how/why they made this improvement. I did have some bolt rope repairs done, so maybe that helped. Also, the boom now rides much higher, so maybe the sail shrunk a bit (but in a good way).
Anyway, my point is that a nice refurbish job on an older sail can yield unexpected benefits, and might therefore be worth considering if you find a Catalina 25 with an older sail that's worth refurbishing.

Re: Cat 25
The blown out sails overpowering the boat mostly comes when going to weather, and it's a rare displacement boat that is going to go much above hull speed to weather anyway. I think TakeFive's comments were spot on.
Good sails also make a massive difference in pointing ability. I was really disappointing with how my Catalina 25 went to weather until I got a new main and a good condition jib.
Re: Cat 25
I think nonsense is a little harsh. The guy wanted to know if blown out sails would be faster than new sails, and the answer to that is basically no, and I gave some simple reasons why. This is especially true since the guy said his wife doesn't like to heel.

It is also possible to have the sails drive you beyond hull speed, but it is generally not comfortable, especially with blown out sails.
So, don't post nonsense to the contrary. I assume that we're all adults here, and that we can all handle the truth. AND, I never consider the truth to be picking nits.

In other words, even at or beyond hull speed a larger power input (be it from you sails or from the motor) will result in an increased speed. The relationship just becomes steeper. I have had my Cal 2-27 going faster than hull speed on many occasions, and even cruisers can sometimes sail for days averaging speeds greater than hull speed.
I don't disagree, but my answer was targeted at the OP's level of knowledge. He was asking if a blown out sail would go faster than a new sail, and the correct answer to that question is much more "no" than "yes."

There are several ways to depower, and you should practice all of them together. You can reduce sail area by reefing the main and partially furling the genoa (or putting on a smaller jib if you don't have furling), you can flatten the main sail with a vang and/or dropping the traveler and increasing tension of the main sheet and/or tensioning the outhaul, and you can "spill air" by letting out the boom. There are other ways to that more expert sailors can share.
In the example cited here, a blown out sail can't be sufficiently flattened (depowered) because there's too much curvature from the fabric stretching, no matter how much tension you apply to the sail.

Green Bay Falls 1-0 to WSU Despite Second-Half Charge
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Despite a late second-half charge and a game-high five shots from freshman Hannah Kernen (Belleville, Wis.), the Green Bay women's soccer team (3-9-2, 1-3-1) dropped a tough 1-0 decision to Wright State (6-6-2, 1-2-1) Sunday afternoon in a Horizon League match at Santaga Stadium.
Kernen nearly sent the contest into overtime with just over a minute to play when she fired a shot from close range on the left side, but WSU goalkeeper Brooke McCurdy slid over to make one of her four saves on the afternoon and secure the victory for the Raiders.
"We knew it would be a difficult game even though we were at home," Phoenix head coach Trevor Warren said. "Wright State has always been one of the top teams in our league, and they're a veteran team with a lot of great players, and I think that kind of showed in the first half."
The Raiders controlled the opening period, maintaining most of the possession and outshooting the Phoenix 5-2.
WSU scored the game's lone goal in the 19th minute when senior forward Brittany Persaud converted on a free kick from just outside the box following a Phoenix foul. Persaud launched the ball over Green Bay's wall from straight on and beat senior goalkeeper Maddie Drusch (Appleton, Wis.) in the left side of the net.
The Phoenix was able to bounce back in the second half and outshoot the opposition 6-4, but couldn't get past McCurdy, who picked up her fourth shutout of the year. Kernen led all players with five shots in the contest, including three shots on goal.
"Hannah is such a spark plug for us," Warren said. "We've had to move her up with the injury to (sophomore forward) Hekla (Palmadottir), but she's really our creative midfielder. She just makes these things happen and maybe with a little bit more luck there at the end we get the chance to send it to overtime."
The Raiders finished with a 9-8 edge in shots, but the Phoenix held a 4-2 advantage in shots on goal.
Drusch and freshman Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) split time between the posts for the Phoenix, playing 45 minutes apiece. Drusch made one save while allowing the one goal in the first half. Pilarzyk was not forced to make a save in the final 45 minutes.
Green Bay is back in action on the road next Saturday, facing Youngstown State at 12 p.m. CT in Youngstown, Ohio. The Phoenix then returns to Santaga Stadium the following Sunday (Oct. 23) for its final regular season home match of the year.
Season tickets and Fall Sports Passes are now on sale for women's soccer, as well as men's soccer and volleyball. Season tickets for each sport are available for $25 each, or a Fall Sports Pass can be purchased for admission to all three sports for just $50 for an adult and $25 for a youth pass.

It seems J.Lo's boyfriend may have let the cat out of the bag regarding his lady's "Idol" future.
After weeks of rumors claiming Jennifer Lopez will return to "American Idol" as a judge, the singer's boyfriend, Casper Smart, said the buzz is true.
"Yes," Casper told E! News, when asked if the "Live It Up" singer, 44, would rejoin the Fox reality singing competition for Season 13.
PHOTOS: Hot Shots Of Jennifer Lopez
According to E!, Casper thought the network had already made the announcement.
If Jennifer does head back to "Idol," she'll join country superstar Keith Urban - the sole returning judge from Season 12 (Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj have all bowed out).
PHOTOS: The 'American Idol' Team Over The Years
Neither Fox nor Freemantle would comment on J.Lo's reported return when contacted by Access Hollywood.
"American Idol" returns with its Season 13 premiere in January 2014.

II coaches poll.
The Laker men, coming off of a huge road win against the Kirkwood Eagles before winter break, will face another conference rival Saturday verse the nationally ranked Bears from DMACC.
DMACC, #10 ranked team in NJCAA Div. II, has a 12-3 record overall and 1-0 in the conference. The Bears are led by 2 standout athletes, LaTree Russel and Darry Jones Jr., who are both averaging 13 points per game. Jones Jr. also brings in 7 rebounds per game which is the 4th best in the conference.
Head Coach Troy Larson is expecting a great game.
"It should be a highly competitive college basketball game in Estherville Saturday," he said. "DMACC has a good program with legitimate players."
Iowa Lakes is coming into the game with a 7-4 overall record, 2-1 in conference play. The Lakers are led in scoring by Kelly Madison with 17 per game along with DreOndre Parks and Ben Shelim adding 12 apiece.

If you reply and I don't get back to you right away it is because we are getting some shuteye.
Aside from the option I mentioned in my PM, I will look into setting up an account on cafepress or etsy (I do not yet have that set up). I am just getting back into the design world after a bit of a hiatus and, while testing my hand on woot, I am also trying to explore these other options.
By the time the woot non-compete time period is up in early November, one or more of these options will definitely be available and I will surely get back in touch with you to see if you still might be interested once we are ready to go. Thanks again for the great feedback. Talk to you soon.

Hello hup440,
Thank you so much for such great feedback. Hearing your kind words really makes me feel good and they are very much appreciated. Thanks as well for your offer to purchase it via another route if it does not get printed by woot (that looks more than likely to be the case).
Woot has exclusive rights to the design for 60 days (well, actually about 55 days now) so I am unable to do anything with it until about the beginning of November. I do actually have plans for it at that time if this does not get named as an honorable mention.
To elaborate on my plans, I am in touch with another online shirt/apparel company who has already offered to sell the Maori Love Birds design. If this does not get named by Woot as an honorable mention and does not appear in a do-over derby, it will definitely be printed by either that company or via another outlet such as cafepress. I do not yet have an account there but plan on setting one up which would open up the product line a bit to items such as prints.
I will keep record of our message and will contact you in early November to see if you might still be interested. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns, or just to chat. As I have already mentioned, it was great to receive your feedback and I am quite happy with the positive response this design has received. Thanks again. Talk to you soon and take care.

I think what program the person uses affects the comp- I use photoshop but if you use something like GIMP it might give a different hue since you have to convert the PSD to a JPEG for submittal.
Just for noisdois - Woot updated the template colours sometime ago. Scurvy started long before that happened, so that comp looks different.

Re: Tiki Beast from 50 Fathoms
i want this soooooooooooo bad! excellent!
Glad to see this made it in time to get a bestloser nod. I had already submitted my nominees to Robert. (I think I had 7 favorites this week.) But, after submitting the list, I saw this one and really loved it. The colors, the linework and the fit to the theme were all great. I especially like that it was on orange and that wasn't the first thing I noticed about the design, but rather the last. Meaning that even if the shirt color isn't one of your favorites, a great design can convince you that you love the shirt regardless of the color.
Hopefully you'll let us know what you do with this design in the future.

A vacationing couple frustrated by obnoxious teens, careless litterers, and pre-booked RV sites find their peaceful trip to the countryside turning unexpectedly bloody in this black comedy from director Ben Wheatley (Down Terrace, Kill List) and producer Edgar Wright (Attack the Block). His girlfriend Tina (Alice Lowe) having led a particularly sheltered life, Chris (Steve Oram) packs up his cherished Abbey Oxford caravan, and prepares to take her on a guided tour of his favorite destinations. The Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, and the Keswick Pencil Museum are all on his "must see" list, but along the way, they'll have a chance to breathe easy while soaking in the lush scenery of rural Britain. Not long after they hit the road, however, a series of minor irritations start to disrupt Chris' attempt to show Tina the perfect holiday. When he finally explodes, Tina sees a side of her new boyfriend that's at once terrifying, and strangely exciting. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
