Dubstars, Vol. 1: From Dub to Disco and from Disco to Dub
This is a deeply idiosyncratic remix compilation, one that consists mostly (but not completely) of remixes done mostly (but not completely) in a reggae-derived style and based mostly (but not completely) on new wave material from the 1980s. Not only is the mix of tracks a bit strange, but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it: you've got a dub mix of Grace Jones' reggae version of Joy Division's "She's Lost Control" (as if the original weren't weird enough); a collaboration between Mick Hucknall and Adrian Sherwood on an eerie remix of Simply Red's "Picture Book"; a dramatic deconstruction of New Order's "Blue Monday" by Jam & Spoon; and then, thrown into the middle of the program for no apparent reason, an album track from David Byrne and Brian Eno's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and an old Talking Heads single, both in their original, unaltered versions. Elsewhere, Linton Kwesi Johnson appears as a guest on a Manu Chao remix and Massive Attack remixes a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan track. It's craziness. And like most crazy compilations, it's got its share of clunkers, like the pedestrian Will Powers contribution and a rather ho-hum Boozoo Bajou mix of the Tony Joe White classic "Rainy Night in Georgia." But the high points are sheer brilliance: juxtaposing Massive Attack's dark, brooding reticence with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's explosive passion was a stroke of genius, and Lee "Scratch" Perry's remix of Terence Trent D'Arby is a bit less brilliant but is well worth hearing just because it's a Lee "Scratch" Perry remix of Terence Trent D'Arby. Recommended.

Prophet. Kahlil Gibran.,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Prophet (Paperback)
The book The Prophet is a beautiful bit of writing. This book is ok. It has the original illustrations in it. I hoped it would be nice enough for a gift, as the cover looked ok, but the format of the book is really that of a handbook, bit small and rather tight with the layout. So for reference its fine, to hold and enjoy its not really the one I would choose.

Letters to the Editor - September 1
Published: Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 3:14 p.m.
Us vs. government
Recent polls show most Americans are opposed to our federal government involving its ethical, moral geopolitical and constitutional stand.
Some examples include the federal government suing the state of Arizona over immigration, states suing the federal government over health care, the house speaker verbally attacking people who are complaining about a mosque being built, and the president going after the "stupid" police at the beer summit.
Who will be left standing or will we all go down together. Could we use another beer summit?
John S. Poser,
A cruel limitation
We need to get rid of this limit on the number of people who can be fed at St. Francis House. With the economy being the way it is a lot of folks are going hungry. There is no shortage of food. The main reason for the limit is to relocate the poor out of downtown. We can do better.
Pat Fitzpatrick,
Don't blame victims
Assistant State Attorney Adam Urra has gone on record saying that he will take seriously any crime of sexual battery reported by a woman regardless of status ("Man facing possible life sentence in attack," Aug. 27). I hope this is a sign that the days of blaming the victim are diminishing.
Judy Walden,
On short notice
In response to Angela Stoots' Aug. 25 letter stating that parents should not have waited until the last minute to purchase uniforms: She obviously did not read The Sun article in which several local business managers were quoted as saying that they were not provided with enough notice to be able to stock their shelves with collared shirts.
Because of the short notice, many local business owners lost out on an enormous amount of revenue. Many retailers asked the School Board not to implement the new policy until 2011 so that they would have ample time to prepare.
Angel Rodriguez,
Why Florida changed
In his Sunday Speaking Out, David R. Colburn asks: "So what happened to the enlightened Florida that welcomed people from all backgrounds and to those Floridians who viewed the state as a beacon of hope for all?"
What has changed over my lifetime started out with President Carter's uncontrolled mass immigration from Cuba.
When I was growing up we had people with Hispanic, Japanese and other non-English sounding names, but they were entirely different from so many today.
They either spoke English or were working hard at learning it. We didn't have special language classes in our schools or government institutions at taxpayers expense. We had politicians who enforced our immigration laws.
We still welcome immigrants who immigrated legally, are not attempting to have costly taxpayer programs put in place or change the demographics of our state and nation.
Charlie Jones,
Our needs at home
While watching the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, it became even more obvious to me that America's resources and tax dollars would be much better served helping our own citizens than wasting it in Iraq and Afghanistan where we're not even wanted. We need homes, schools and businesses built in our country first.

QAdam HaywardLB WAS (9) 3 days ago
Hayward (knee) has been released by the Redskins, The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayward joined the Redskins in 2014 as a special teams standout, but a broken leg that year was followed by a torn ACL last August to limit him to just 11 games played for Washington. At 32 years old, Hayward will now hope to receive a training camp invitation and catch onto a roster elsewhere.
Ezekiel ElliottRB DAL (7) 3 days ago14 Comments
Elliott was accused of domestic violence by a former girlfriend Friday morning, but the rookie running back has denied the allegations, ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott was accused of assaulting the woman in a parked car early Friday morning, while four witnesses in addition to Elliott have denied any sort of domestic violence took place. The league will likely look deeper into the issue, meanwhile Elliott was not arrested nor charged with a crime. At this point the fourth overall pick in this year's draft doesn't appear to be in danger of being convicted, although more information should become available in the near future.
PLe'Veon BellRB PIT (8) 3 days ago21 Comments
Bell could be given a four-game suspension by the NFL for missing a recent drug test, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.
EDGE Analysis
The report clarifies that Bell did not fail a test, but simply did not show up for one recently, and the reason a suspension hasn't been announced is because he is appealing the punishment. Bell was suspended for the first three games of last season, which was then reduced to two, for a violation of the league's drug policy, and if he is forced to sit out again, DeAngelo Williams will likely start in his place.
QJ.J. WattDL HOU (9) 3 days ago
Watt (back) will need at least eight weeks before he is able to return to the field following back surgery Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Watt's surgery indeed did turn out to be the result of a herniated disk suffered in 2015-16. Initial reports stated that Watt would take six-to-eight weeks to recover enough to be able to suit up for the Texans, but now there are reports that recovery would take eight weeks minimum. That would put Watt's return date at Sept. 15, four days too late for Houston's season opener against the Bears. Other reports are claiming that rehabilitation could take up to 10 weeks. In any case, the super-star defensive end is in serious danger of missing his first ever NFL game.
QJ.J. WattDL HOU (9) 3 days ago
Watt (groin) underwent back surgery Thursday and will start training camp on the physically unable to perform list, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Watt dealt with a herniated disk in his back for some time last season among other injuries. The operation may have been executed because of that disk, but conclusive reasoning for the surgery is not yet known at this point. The Texans expect him to be ready for the season opener Sept. 11 against the Bears in Houston based on the fact that he has never missed an NFL game in his career regardless of injury. The 6-5 Wisconsin product won Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2015-16, racking up 76 combined tackles and a league-leading 17.5 sacks.
John Sullivan MIN (6) 4 days ago
Sullivan said he'll be ready for training camp after his back made it through spring practices without any major problems, ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sullivan missed all of the 2015 season due to a back injury that required surgery. He'll likely reclaim his starting center job and his return will bolster a unit that could feature nine lineman who have started all 16 games in a season at one point in their career.
QMatt SpaethTE PIT (8) 4 days ago
Spaeth was released by the Steelers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Steelers decided to part ways with the ten-year veteran after he failed his physical, signing free agent rookie tight end Mandel Dixon in his place. According to GM Kevin Colbert, Spaeth "never fully recovered from knee surgery that occurred this offseason, and will not be ready to return to football activities at this time." Combined with the retirement of Heath Miller in February, the Steelers now only have one tight end on their current roster from last season. Spaeth could attract the attention of a team looking to add a veteran presence at tight end, but it could be hard for him to find another opportunity until he is fully healed from his knee surgery.
PRoy HeluRB OAK (10) 4 days ago
Helu (hip) may have to compete for a roster spot, according to ESPN's Paul Guiterrez.
EDGE Analysis
The Raiders already appear to have three roster locks at running back, with incumbent starter Latavius Murray joined by fifth-round rookie DeAndre Washington and kick returner Taiwan Jones. The team could opt to keep four RBs on the roster, but even so, Helu might have to fend off George Atkinson and rookie UDFA Jalen Richard. After playing just nine games in his first season with Oakland, the 27-year-old Helu missed the entire offseason program while recovering from hip surgery. Head coach Jack Del Rio does expect Helu to be available for training camp.
Eugene Monroe BAL (8) 4 days ago
Monroe announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday in a letter submitted through The Players' Tribune.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old Monroe was released earlier this summer by the Ravens. While he still received interest from several other teams due to his standing as one of the league's better tackles since he turned pro in 2009, Monroe cited the "traumatic injuries" he's suffered to his head and body during his football career as his main reason for stepping away. Monroe played in 93 career games with the Jaguars and Ravens in his seven NFL seasons, starting 90 of them.
PMuhammad WilkersonDL NYJ (11) 4 days ago
Wikerson said Wednesday that he expects to be fully recovered from his broken right leg in time to play in Week 1, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wilkerson, who suffered the injury in the last week of the 2015 season, didn't specify when he would be able to start participating in training camp, but that his rehab is progressing quickly. He recently signed a new five-year, $85 million contract and is expected to be a major focal point of the Jets' pass rush after picking up 12 sacks last year.

Dead in the Water (Stone Barrington Series #3)by Stuart Woods
View All Available Formats & Editions
In Dead in the Water, Stone has hardly arrived in St. Marks, a lovely Caribbean island nation, on a sailing vacation/i>
Stone Barrington is back. Stuart Woods has created no better known or loved character than the ex-cop, Manhattan attorney and investigator whose work treads the thin line between the respectable practice of law and the dark side of humanity.
In Dead in the Water, Stone has hardly arrived in St. Marks, a lovely Caribbean island nation, on a sailing vacation when something very strange happens: a beautiful young woman sails into the harbor, entirely alone on a large yacht. Before long, she is under the intense scrutiny of the local authorities, in the very considerable person of Sir Winston Sutherland, the minister of justice. The problem is, though she arrived alone, she had departed the other side of the Atlantic in the company of her husband, a well-known writer, who is no longer in evidence.
Evidence is what fascinates Stone Barrington, and he is all that stands between the apparently innocent Allison Manning and the patently evil intent of Sir Winston, whose motives are unclear. What is clear is that the St. Marks system of justice bears little resemblance to the American courts to which Stone is accustomed, and that his smallest error could prove fatal to his client. Dead in the Water is a rollercoaster ride, teeming with the plot twists that have made the novels of Stuart Woods New York Times bestsellers and international hits.
Editorial Reviews
When the 45-foot yacht Expansive puts into the island paradise of St. Marks, the only thing missing is the skipper, mystery novelist Paul Manning, who, his wife tearfully tells the authorities, suffered a fatal heart attack while she watched helplessly from high atop a mast, and had to be buried at sea. The story's good enough for the coroner's inquest, but not for Sir Winston Sutherland, the ambitious Minister of Justice, who thinks a high-profile conviction might be just the thing to vault him into the aging Prime Minister's post. Luckily for Allison, she has just the credentials (blond hair, killer bod, boundless sexual stamina) to secure herself the premier legal representation on St. Marks: vacationing New York lawyer Stone Barrington (Dirt, 1996, etc.), whose appetite for adventure, etc., has been whetted by the unexpected absence of his live-in girlfriend Arrington Carter. It's a case that suits Woods's talent for streamlined, unnuanced narrative down to the shoreline. With no witnesses but Allisonnow enjoying a cool $12 million payoff from Paul's insuranceand virtually no physical evidence showing how (or even whether) Paul met his death, Stone doesn't have to bother arguing the facts; all he has to do is orchestrate a massive p.r. campaign designed to impress on the government what a disaster a conviction would be for St. Marks's crucial tourist industrywhile trying to find some wiggle room in the island's draconian trial law, which pretty much assumes that the accused is guilty and the real crime would be keeping the jury past dinnertime.
Trying to make this neat, utterly unsurprising, taleWoods's best since L.A. Times (1993)last more than one sitting would be like staying up all night nursing a Godiva truffle.

Read an Excerpt
Dead in the Water
A Novel Chapter One
Stone Barrington slowly opened his eyes and stared blearily at the pattern of moving light above him. Disoriented, he tried to make sense of the light. Then it came to him: he was aboard a yacht, and the light was reflected off the water.
He sat up and rubbed his eyes. The night before had been the stuff of bad dreams; he never wanted to have another like it. The nightmare had started at Kennedy Airport, when his live-in girlfriend, Arrington Carter, had not shown up for the flight. She was supposed to come directly from the magazine office where she had been meeting with an editor, but she had not arrived.
Stone had found a phone and had tracked down Arrington, still at The New Yorker.
"Hello?" she said.
Stone glanced at his watch. "I guess you're not going to make the plane," he said. "It leaves in twenty minutes."
"Stone, I'm so sorry; I've been having you paged at the terminal. Didn't you hear the page?"
He tried to keep his voice calm. "No, I didn't."
"Everything has exploded here. I took the proposal for the profile on Vance Calder to Tina Brown, and she went for it instantly. Turns out she had tried and tried to do a piece with Vance when she was at Vanity Fair, and he would never cooperate."
"That's wonderful," he said tonelessly. "I'm happy for you."
"Look, darling, Vance is coming into New York tomorrow, and I've got to introduce him to Tina at lunch, there's just no getting around it."
"I see," he replied.
"Don't worry, I'm already booked on the same flight tomorrow. You go ahead to St. Marks, take delivery of the boat, put in some provisions,and get gloriously drunk. I'll be there by midnight."
"All right," he said.
"Oh," she sighed, "I'm so relieved you're not angry. I know you can see what a break this is for me. Vance hasn't sat still for an in-depth interview for more than twenty years. Tina says she'll bump up the printing for the anticipated increase in newsstand sales."
"That's great," he said, making an effort to sound glad for her. "I'll meet you at the St. Marks airport tomorrow night, then."
"Oh, don't do that; just sit tight, and I'll grab a cab." She lowered her voice. "And when I get there, sweetie, try and be well rested, because I'm going to bounce you off the bedsprings a whole lot; you read me?"
"I read you loud and clear. I'd better run; they've almost finished boarding. And remember, we've only got the boat for ten days; don't waste any more."
"I really am going to make it up to you in the best possible way, Stone," she said. "Bye-bye."
"Bye." Stone hung up the phone and ran for his plane. Moments later, he had settled into a comfortable leather seat and had in his hand a rum and tonic, in honor of his long-anticipated winter holiday. As the big jet taxied out to the runway he looked out the window and saw that it had started to snow. Good. Why have a tropical holiday if you can't gloat?
Vance Calder was, arguably, Hollywood's premier male star, often called the new Cary Grant, and he had played an important part in Stone's and Arrington's lives already. She had been in Calder's company when they had met at a dinner party at the home of a gossip columnist nearly a year earlier. Although Stone had been struck by her beauty and had found her marvelous company, he had not bothered to call her, because he hadn't believed for a moment that he could take a girl away from Vance Calder. Instead, Arrington had called him. Vance, she had explained, was no more than an acquaintance who, when he was in New York, liked to have a pretty girl to squire around, especially at dinners like the one at Amanda Dart's apartment, which she would feature in her column.
Inside a few weeks they were living together, and Stone had never been happier. At forty-two, he was still a bachelor, and he liked it that way. Living with Arrington, though, had made a lack of freedom seem very attractive, and he was determined to hang on to her, even if it came to marriage. Marriage had been increasingly on his mind of late, especially since Arrington had been showing signs of feeling a lack of commitment on his part. On the plane down to St. Marks he had reached a decision. They would have a wonderful cruise on the chartered boat, and they would come back engaged, unless it turned out to be easy to be wed in St. Marks; in that case, they would come back married. He was looking forward to the prospect.
Then the night began to go wrong. In San Juan, their first stop, he learned that his flight to St. Martin, the next leg, had been delayed by two hours. In St. Martin, the connecting flight to Antigua had also been delayed, and by the time he had arrived there, the light twin that would take him to St. Marks had already left and had to be summoned back at great expense. He had reached St. Marks sometime after 3:00 a.m. Nevertheless, he had been met by the charter agent and taken to the boat, a Beneteau 36, a roomy French design, and had, without unpacking, fallen dead into the double berth in the little owner's cabin.
He got out of bed and stumbled naked into the little galley and found half a jar of instant coffee in a cupboard. Shortly he had found the gas tap in the cockpit, boiled a kettle, and made himself a really terrible cup of coffee. While he drank it he took a stroll around the interior of the little yacht, a very short stroll indeed. He was glad there would be only the two of them aboard.Dead in the Water

Stuart Woods was a new author to me and again I am hooked. The character of Stone Barrington is terrific. Stone begins his career as a policeman but becomes a New York State lawyer. Clients draw him into one breathless mystery after another. The twists and turns keeps the reader turning page after page. His partner on the force, Dino, appears as his constant sidekick and reminder to stay inside the law when solving cases. Some clients appear in a second book but don't let that stop you from reading. Each book is a completed case filled with murder, intrigue, sex and excitement. The following is the list of how the Stone Barrington books were released: New York Dead: Dirt, Dead In The Water, Swimming On Catalina, Worst Fears Realized, LA Dead, Cold Paradise, The Short Forever and Dirty Work. Be sure and search out the other books written by Stuart Wood and his other stars of fiction.
Stuart Woods continues to keep you on your toes throughout this book. Stone meets a lot of interesting people. The question is, can you keep track of all of them & their connection to the storyline? I found this book very hard to put down & tried to solve the mystery before the book ended - needless to say, I was wrong. This is my second Stuart Woods book & if the rest of the ones involving Stone Barrington are anything like the two I have read - I'm on my way to the bookstore to get the ones I don't have.
Just a great plot and fascinating characters. This was my first S Woods book and I went out a got 3 more afterwards! Woods has a superb writing style and knows how to end a book.
Mr. Woods seems to think all the twists and turns in the plot are the thing to hold one's interest. In fact, all they serve to do is make the book excruciatingly longer. However, his books seem to do rather well, so who am I to critique.
Guessed this ending way off
Good book third book of stuart woods I really enjoy his books.they r quick reads.short chapters I love that.definetly a page turner.all should read his books.they are very enjoyable to read.love stuart woods great author
Stone Barrington once again thinking with his other brain. The kind of story that makes you think of those dreams where you use all energy to escape and find your feet seem mired in mud. He gets himself involved in weird situations he can't seem to recognize as ridiculous but somehow it turns out to be suspenseful and spellbinding.
Just ordered #4 - can't wait to continue with the series.
I enjoyed the book but it is notr one of his better books. The plot was OK but it really dragged on. His is also putting in a lot of sex. Everybody likes sex but not evefry 40 pages.
Keeps you guessing
She sat chewing a rabbit. "Ready," she purrred. ~Tigerpaw
Stone Barrington stories are always enjoyable. I read all of them that I can get.
This book is awesome!!!

Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Justin Bour walked, doubled, and crushed a two-run HR, Matt Cerda tripled twice and scored three runs, and Chris Rusin threw three innings of perfect baseball, but it wasn't enough, as the Angels edged the Cubs 6-5 in AZ Instructional League action at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this afternoon.
RHP Chris Archer got the start for the Cubs, and had a very poor outing, allowing four runs on two triples, two singles, a walk, and a HBP (plus three WP), in just two innings of work (41 pitches - 24 strikes). Archer was 4th in the Cubs minor leagues in strikeouts in 2009 (trailing only Jay Jackson, Mitch Atkins, and Chris Carpenter), but he led all Cubs minor league pitchers in walks.
2009 4th round pick LHP Chris Rusin (U. of Kentucky) followed Archer, and threw three perfect innings, while needing just 35 pitches (24 strikes) to do it.
Down 4-0, the Cubs came back with one run in the 3rd and three more in the 5th to tie the game.
2008 4th round pick Matt Cerda (Oceanside HS - Oceanside, CA) tripled off the left-field fence with one out in the 3rd, and scored on a Jovan Rosa ground RBI single to RF.
Kyler Burke led-off the 5th with a sharply-hit single to RF, and then with one out, Justin Bour (2009 25th round pick out of George Mason U.) slammed a long HR over the right-centerfield fence onto Field #5, the "half-field" located north of the Cubs clubhouse. (Bour just missed clubbing a dinger down the LF line on the pitch prior to the HR, as the ball curved foul before going out of the park).
At 6'4 250+, the 21-year old Bour is a big dude who looks like he should have some power, but he hit only four HR in 62 games and 269 PA (combined) at Mesa and Boise in 2009. But Bour has been working with Peoria hitting instructor Barbaro Garbey in the cages each morning before the games and his new-found power really showed up today! (BTW, Justin Bour's older brother Jason is a catcher in the Reds organization, and Jason was ex-Cubs #1 draft pick Mark Pawelek's catcher at Sarasota in 2009).
Matt Cerda followed Bour's HR with his second triple of the game, a towering blast that hit off the Green Monster metal "batter's-eye" in dead CF, and then Cerda scored on a Sergio Burruel sacrifice fly.
The Angels scored single runs in the 6th and 7th off relievers Jose Rosario and Nick Struck to re-take the lead, but then the Cubs scored again in the bottom of the 7th, narrowing the Halo advantage to just one run.
Justin Bour led-off the 7th with a double off the LF fence, but then suffered an apparent brain cramp and was thrown-out trying to advance to third (with no outs!) on a Matt Cerda ground ball to the SS.
Michael Brenly singled to send Cerda to 2nd, and then 18-year old Sergio Burruel (2009 19th round pick out of Trevor Browne HS - Phoenix, AZ) crushed a ball down the RF line that hit the top of the 25-ft high outfield fence, just missing going out of the yard for what would have been a a three-run homer. Burruel had to settle for an RBI double, with Brenly advancing to 3rd base representing the potential go-ahead run. But then Logan Watkins struck out, and Ryan Flaherty bounced out, leaving the runners stranded.
The Cubs had one more chance to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th, as Bour walked with one out. But PR Kyung-Min Na (supposedly the fastest HS player in South Korea when the Cubs signed him for a reported $700K+ this year) was immediately picked-off 1st, and then Matt Cerda hit a game-ending 1-3 comebacker to the mound.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Logan Watkins, 2B: 0-4 (3-U, 4-3, 4-3, K)
2. Ryan Flaherty, SS: 0-4 (K, 6-3, 3-1, 3-U)
3. Brett Jackson, CF: 0-3 (K, K, BB, K), SB
4. Brandon Guyer, LF: 0-3 (P-5, F-8, BB, F-7)
5. Kyler Burke, RF 1-4 (K, 1B, K, 4-3), R
6. Rebel Ridling, DH #1: 0-4 (L-5, 4-3, P-9, 3-1)
7a. Justin Bour, 1B: 2-3 (P-6, HR, 2B, BB), R, 2 RBI
7b. Kyung-Min Na, PR: 0-0, PO
8. Matt Cerda, 3B: 2-4 (3B, 3B, 6-5 FC, 1-3) 3 R
9a. Jovan Rosa, C: 1-1 (1B, BB), RBI
9b. Michael Brenly, C: 1-1 (1B)
10. Sergio Burruel, DH #2: 1-2 (K, F-8 SF, 2B), 2 RBI
1. Chris Archer - 2.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R (4 ER), 1 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP, 3 WP, 5/0 GO/FO, 41 pitches (24 strikes)
2. Chris Rusin - 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 5/2 GO/FO, 35 pitches (24 strikes)
3. Jose Rosario - 1.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 1/0 GO/FO, 15 pitches (10 strikes)
4. Nick Struck - 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 1/4 GO/FO, 28 pitches (15 strikes)
5. Corey Martin - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 0/3 GO/FO, 10 pitches (7 strikes)
1. Jovan Rosa (E-2) - overthrow at 2nd base on SB attempt, allowing runner to take 3rd.
2. Matt Cerda (E-5) - errant throw to 1st base bounced past 1st baseman allowing batter to reach safely, but then batter-runner was thrown-out 3-6 trying to advance to 2nd base.
3. Kyler Burke (E-9) - over-ran a ground single to RF allowing batter to advance to 2nd and to 3rd, and then batter was thrown out trying to score 9-4-2 (OF assist to Burke - see below).
1. Jovan Rosa - 0-1 CS + E-2 throwing error (see above)
2. Michael Brenly - 1 PB
1. Brett Jackson - batter-runner was thrown out 8-4-2 trying to stretch a triple into an inside-the-park HR.
2. Kyler Burke - batter-runner was thrown out 9-4-2 trying to score on a H+E (see above).
1. Justin Bour - led off bottom of the 7th with a double, then was thrown out 6-5 trying to advance to 3rd base on a ground ball to the SS with no outs.
2. Kyung-Min Na - PR for Justin Bour at 1st base after Bour walked with one out in the bottom of the 9th with Cubs trailing 6-5, but then was immediately picked-off by the Angels pitcher.
WEATHER: 90 & sunny
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
AZ Phil -- I am trying to figure out who will be at Triple A next year. Assuming Samardzija and Caridad will be at the Major League Level, I have
Starters: Atkins, Russell, Coleman, Jackson, and Chen.
Relievers: Parker, Stevens, Gaub, Papelbon, Berg, Mateo, Mathes/Reinhard
Lambert made it to Triple A but will be rehabbing after TJ surgery. Not sure if Schlitter, Maestri, Patton or Ruhlman will be there. There seem to be a lot of candidates for a few spots and that is not counting any potential minor league FA that they sign. Let me know what you think.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League level
This is like assuming Geo Soto will get back on the diet wagon, stop smoking weed, lose the forty pounds he put on this year, and hit .285 .364 .504 .868 again.
Samarginal is a waste of $10 million. The only thing for sure next year is he'll be 25 and we'll be stuck with him.
I'm hoping he likes Mexico so much he decides to stay there.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League ...
Samardzija projects to be a legit big leaguer. That doesn't mean he'll be effective in the big leagues right now. On the flip side, just because he's not effective at the major league level right now doesn't mean he won't be effective and very good some day. He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ago? He has a ways to go yet. Samardzija right now is neither a problem or the solution.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League ...
A potential bust.
The problem with the guy is expectations.
He signed a $10MM bonus, thanks to Daddy Warbucks Hendry.
Naturally, the team put him on the fast-track. He certainly is not Mark Prior (when that meant something good) or Adam Wainright, and I just think that the Cubs have blown it based on the fact that he is expected to perform well NOW, yet he has developed one and a half pitches to this point.
What the hell has he shown at the Major League level, so far? ZERO
If he could "simmer" for a while in AAA, that is one thing, but the dude's original contract is going to be up already in 2011, I think!
Do most people believe he will be an effective MLB pitcher by that time?
Notre Dame is overrated.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League ...
Problem is less about Samjay and more about the Cubs expectations.
Samardzija pitched really well out of the pen in 2008. He has 1 1/2 really good MLB level pitches. If they cubs would put him in the pen and let him alone, then he would probably be an effective MLB reliever next year.
Unfortunately the cubs will try their pattented "Square Peg/Round Hole" approach to player development and probably crush this kid.
Gotta Justify the signing bonus. Easier to blame Samjay for being a total bust than to blame the Organization for giving an amature reliever 10 million dollars.
Re: Assuming Samardzija ... will be at the Major League ...
the guy has a MLB contract...they're just gonna use him.
he's not ready, but given how total shit the pen was this year he found himself making it up in the pecking order.
he could use a consistent 3rd pitch and some control that isn't over the fat of the plate.
no big deal...if the pen is actually in good shape in 2010 we might not see him for a while.
he needs to be stretched out to start anyway...AAA should be just fine for that.
btw, the cubs have an option on the guy beyond his 5 year mlb contract that pays him 6-7m combined in 2012/2013...it's not like it was a totally boneheaded deal.
basically, he's guaranteed a roster spot on the 40 man while he earns service time and can walk away with 16-17m over 7 years...total. he's got some bonus thing on top of that, too, that's good for another 6-7m, but I don't know exactly how that "i won't walk away from this to play football" bonus works.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ago?
Good grief Ryno! This is his FOURTH (4th) season as a pro. That makes next year number five. He's olde. He's been a bust. I'm tired of him.
When Greg Maddux was 25 he won his 75th game and pitched his 1100th inning as a Cub. He was worth $10 million, Samarginal isn't worth ten cents.
But maybe he'll get introduced to some magic PED down in Mexico and I'll have to eat my words.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
Holy balls, he's been around four years?
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
He pitched in 7 games in 2006 after signing (and after the college season was over), calling that a full professional season is a bit of a stretch.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
I was thinking we first saw him in ST '07, I am mistaken.
Re: He pitched in 7 games in 2006
He pitched 30 innings. And yet he was promoted TWICE in 2006! From Boise to Peoria, and then from Peoria to Daytona at the end of the 2006 season.
And where was anyone saying that he pitched a "full" season as a pro in 2006? It still counts. Just like David Patton's 42 innings this year counts.
The fact remains next year will be Submarginal's 5th season as a pro and he'll be 25.
Re: He pitched in 7 games in 2006
Yes, that fact remains, but I doubt it signifies anything close to what you think it does. Maybe I just don't know what you're driving at here.
Re: Maybe I just don't know what you're driving at here.
Just correcting a misconception. He's not gonna be "young" next year. He's been around twice as long as some people think. He's running out of time. There are only two seasons left on his 5 year contract. Two seasons left to stick with the Cubs in some useful capacity and get the Cubs to exercise their 2012 and 2013 $3.25 million extensions. But he was incredibly mediocre at all levels this year. And that's his second contract by the way. He was originally signed in 2006 to a $1 million bonus, then re-upped in 2007.
Re: Maybe I just don't know what you're driving at here.
"He's not gonna be "young" next year. He's been around twice as long as some people think. He's running out of time."
yeesh. you're some work there, dude.
Re: He pitched in 7 games in 2006
Sorry, he didn't play at Daytona in 2006. Check again. He did not get promoted TWICE. He pitched 19 innings with Boise and then 11 innings at Peoria before going back to football practice and his senior year of college. So he pitched 30 innings in between his collegiate baseball and football seasons. This is qualitatively different than David Patton being limited by injuries over a full February-September major league season. Surely you see that?
Yes, he may turn out to be a bust, but the fact remains that he is YOUNGER than others like Caridad, Berg, Stevens, etc. You should be recommending we get rid of all of these guys then because they are too old and haven't made it yet.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
By all means, everyone who is not Greg Maddux should be cut from the roster and, perhaps, flogged.
Someone was just saying that Samardzija is not Adam Wainwright. Maybe we should note that Adam Wainwright didn't experience success in the majors until he was 24, and didn't start in the majors until he was 25--he was drafted out of high school at age 18.
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
Hey navigator, not only can you not spell Samardzija's name you can't count. This is only Samardzija's 3rd year in the pros. So take your stupid Purdue ass and go back to the gold and black site were you belong.
Re: you can't count. This is only Submarginal's 3rd year
= 3 seasons.
Purdue?? gold and black site WTF?
Re: He just started pitching professionally, what, 2 years ...
That is a low blow.
Nav may have been in the engineering program for all you know which means he certainly is not stupid.
Now, if you want to comment on their football team - that is a different matter.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Good to see Cerda showing a little pop, but that is extremely discouraging out of Archer. He is the real wild card for me in the DeRo trade. While Gaub and Stevens both look like they will be big additions to the bullpen as early as next year, if Archer could develop into a #3 starter for us, the trade would definately be a win for us.
In other news, Shark pitched a good game in Mexican ball last night. 6 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 Ks, with tons of ground balls. The 0 walks was the big thing for me, though. Hopefully he works the crap out of his secondary stuff and pushes for the fifth starter spot out of ST.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
some magic PED down in Mexico...
Way Cool. Fastball's are blue, Slider's green, Changeup red.
Beats the hell out of K-Zone.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
When Greg Maddux was 25 he won his 75th game and pitched his 1100th inning as a Cub.
maybe Hendry should be scouting the ND golf team (not football)

CM tweets on Sl(ar)amma-J(ar)amillo

Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
A bit confused.
If he is not under contract - why does the team need "permission"?
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
there's a fight here about whether to count years of samninja service has anything to do anything and how many years it is...
so what?
here's all that matters.
5 year ***MLB*** contact 2007-2011 (aka, use him whenever, whatever, you're paying for the real deal anyway). 2 year CLUB option on him 2012/2013 worth 6.5m COMBINED for both years.
2009 just ended.
4 more years of relatively cheap control.
now everyone try not to piss their pants and deal with the fact that the cubs can cut him loose in 2 years or keep him around for 4.
players getting MLB contracts before they deserve it is part of the process now...like it or not. get used to it.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Interesting sponsor at Samardzija's Baseball Reference page:
Bootstraps the Bussie sponsor(s) this page.
NOBODY was more excited about your choosing baseball over football than I was...HOWEVER...your off the field late night activities while playing here in Daytona with the Cubs were VERY VERY sad...please change your ways and become a role model.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
the guy runs around with an entourage and acts like a spoiled flavor-of-the-week actor.
this was known before he signed and still is. guy's just a semi-jerk who thinks with his dick. not the first, won't be the last. meh.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Crunch, you might think you are truly anonymous, but almost all self-publishing portals record the exact date-time an IP address of anonymous postings and judges have ordered ISP's (Interntet Service Providers) reveal the identity of anonymous defamatory bloggers. Anonymity is an illusion, and judges rountinely issue "John Doe" subpoens to ISP's when someone has been CYBER-LIBEL. I strongly suggest you keep such false and defamatory statements to yourself.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
how about i settle out of internet court for 1 million dollars.
you just tell me who to cut a check to, k.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Crunch that's great, just tell me your name and were you live and I will come and pick up the check. You do have a million dollars don't you? You know so much about professional talent you must have been a super star yourself. What level of sports did you play? It just makes me laugh when I read statements by publishers such as you that can't even back up anything they have to say.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
this is fascinating....
isn't crunch's uncle Barry Foote or something? either way I think crunch knows a few folks around the game...not that he really advertises it...
judging by jakester's IP address from Valparaiso, IN(Ninja's hometown)...he's either related to Ninja or grew up with him...
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
So big Rob G., what crunch can't speak for himself so you have to butt your way in. Yeah I live Valpo and I know Ninja so what. I least I don't bad mouth any Cub players like you publishers do. I've been a Cub fan for many years win or lose. I enjoy watching the Cubs on TV and going to the games as much as I can. But I would never lower myself to your guys level and bad mouth the players like you do. See I have never played baseball at any high level and from the insults you guys post I tell you neither of you have either. So there you go. Sorry but I'm going to go and watch some NCAA football.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Go Trojans....
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Yeah, I took the Trojans to cover the spread. Sorry Rob G. but you need to grow up.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
okay, look...maybe im wrong about the "and still is" part. the rest i'll stand behind. i got my stories. if you don't have yours, well...
anyway...i'm gonna go ahead and cut that internet lawsuit settlement check to you.
you PLEASE be sure to get this to the right people. i'm trusting you with this.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Yo Mamma....
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
I fucking HATE publishers!!!!!!!!!
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
The really more important question is, just because you grew up with someone, does that mean that you know everything about him? Have you got some sort of psychic connection so that you know what time he gets to bed every night and who he has spent his evenings with?
It's great that you're a friend, and or a fan of Smardijza's but unless you're his bodyguard, odds are that you don't know what he does and how he conducts himself 1200 miles away from where you two grew up. Not saying that crunch is absolutely right or anything, he's been known to blow some smoke up people's asses on occasion, but you are there first person who has ever claimed to know what everyone in his middle school was doing every night of their mid 20's that I've ever come across.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
This sounds like a threat.
A very stupid threat by a very stupid jerk-off, ohhh i mean jakester.
Goodluck trying to shutdown commentary on the internet. China must be your favorite vacation spot.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
So he acted like a kid with a huge heap of cash who thought he was entitled to something? There really isn't an issue here, is there? Wonder what this guy's problem is. Jeffy never called his daughter back after they did the no-pants dance?
If he got way too drunk way too often, caused a shitload of trouble, and acted like an asshole, he's just one of those super propsects who have millions of dollars guaranteed. There's 3 or 4 of those in every team's farm system.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
no, there isn't an issue, imo. it happens.
if i really wanted to rage on the issue i could tell a few elijah dukes and delmon young stories that would require me to cut a couple $100,000,000 dollar internet lawsuit checks.
kerry wood did it, too...he turned out just fine. as long as you show up ready to play and the media isn't noticing you enough to put it in print it's all good.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
If he is not under contract - why does the team need "permission"?
I've read that his current contract ends 10/31/09, so officially he needs permission to talk to other clubs before that date.
Speaking of sponsors...
i was going to post milton's...
In appreciation of Sean Forman, B-R and MB sponsor(s) this page.
B-R made it easy to realize that MB's 284/402/443 between April 28 and September 4 didn't tank the Cubs' season. Too bad the Chicago media don't use it. The 0.5% of Cubs fans who see beyond batting average and RBI wish you the best of luck.
also from the TBS broadcast, Torre talking about Padilla
"if one guy can come in and disrupt your clubhouse chemistry, it wasn't that good to begin with."
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
me and torre agree on something...scary. it also needed to be said by someone. too bad the local chicago press (some) were too busy with other milton-related celebrations to actually bring that up.
btw...it seems there was no clubhouse leader for the season that just finished. that said, it seems that way because wood used to be the guy with the pitchers and dero acted as that guy for the cubs bats...wood and dero also did a killer job running quotes/stories for the press to take the crap off all the other guys. dero saved dlee (a pretty boring guy when it comes to reporters/press) a lot of crap last year as well as almost all the rest of the team.
it's not even like dero/wood were these strong wiley rock-hard oldschool veterans or something...they just didn't mind getting up there and doing the things non-field related they felt needed to be done and the rest of the team seemed to respond well to it.
no one stepped up this year and it seems like stuff festered pretty badly while everyone sat around and watched it happen.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
"B-R made it easy to realize that MB's 284/402/443 between April 28 and September 4 didn't tank the Cubs' season..."
Only 40 rbi to go along with those numbers tell a different story.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
speaking of...why is sam fuld even in the bigs? he obviously has no value to a mlb club. the rbi's speak for themselves. he projects for 10-15 RBI seasons. is hendry asleep at the switch? and why is lou giving this guy ab's?
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
It's for his ability to stay on the field... nope that's not it either, is it? For his career he's hit .200 with RISP, yet he can make an out with guys on base and not be booed - it's really perplexing to me.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
seriously, though...if the club is looking to shave loot...unless they want fuld involved in some kind of trade i could live without reed johnson with fuld around.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
I thought shaving loot was illegal? I remember trying that in high school and I couldn't sit down for a week.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
There's worse things that can happen to the roster than having Fuld as a 5th outfielder (Johnson as a 4th outfielder/platoon center fielder being one of them), but there's the issue of his inability to stay healthy, so you need a backup plan for your 5th outfielder, which seems a bit silly when you say it.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
I'd like to see the Cubs find a way to keep Brad Snyder around.
Re: Speaking of sponsors...
"if one guy can come in and disrupt your clubhouse chemistry, it wasn't that good to begin with."
No shit. You certainly don't improve it with Milton Bradley.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
"if one guy can come in and disrupt your clubhouse chemistry, it wasn't that good to begin with."
maybe someone can figure out the chemistry equation using the NHL +/- on ice scoring system...
net change = -wood-derosa + (-bradley) = -3
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
I agree, and every team should have a goon they can send out there to charge the mound when they're getting schooled.
Re: Angels Edge Cubs at Fitch Park
Kyle Farnsworth.

The floor is more valuable than the ceiling. It's the same reason we drafted Kris Bryant instead of Jon Gray.
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...

Russia designs manned lunar spacecraft
Moscow (UPI) Dec 26, 2012
Russian space company Energia has completed the technical design of a manned spacecraft whose flight tests would be initiated in 2017, company officials say. "We have completed the technical design project taking into account the fact that the new spaceship is to fly to the moon, among other places," Energia President Vitaly Lopota said Wednesday. "If we get normal financing, we will start flight tests of the spaceship in 2017," he said. Energia was awarded the spaceship design co ... read more

Student Body:
Being in Southern California, the student body is very diverse so it's very possibly to interact with many different types of people.
Student Body:
Not a whole lot going on student-wise. There are clubs and groups, but nothing too incredible.
Student Body:
I have met many new friends since starting at Cypress College. The study body as a whole is very friendly and I have not met anyone who was deliberately mean or hurt anyone at my time there.
Student Body:
As far as a typical student goes, I can't say there is a typical student at Cypress. From what I've seen so far, there is quite a diversity of students in regard to ethnic background. Cypress is situated in a middle class neighborhood bordered by Buena Park and Anaheim. Students in my own class range in age from 18 to about 58, both men and women equally.
Student Body:
The student body is the best you find a lot of different ethnicities. Everyone is nice and friendly and if you need help anyone will help you.

I already found some similar topics to this, but it wasn't exactly the same.
I am working on webdesign projects on three different machines
- Office Windows PC
- Home Windows PC
- MacBook
I keep my whole Project-Folder synchronized trough DropBox. This works very well and I'll keep that for sure. I don't share any projects with other persons with DropBox.
Now I'd like to use Git for version controlling and to collaborate on code projects with other persons. I still work on all three machines, but actually this three machines still count as "one person" and only one contributor to a git repository, because it's just me.
I have a BitBucket Account and created a new repo for testing proposes:
- I cloned the repo to one of the machines
- DropBox automatically synched the folder to the next machine
- I tried to clone the repo from BitBucket on the second machine, but wasn't able to do that, because the folder already existed and wasn't empty.
As the project-folder is in a different location on every machine, I somehow doubt this to work. Is there any path-related informations stored inside the .git files?
I think technically, it "should" work if my three local git repos are perfectly synched by DropBox. And then I sometimes push to the master repo on BitBucket. Or is it impossible for me to use Git?
I do not want to have a git master repo inside my dropbox or anything like that. I just want all my local projects synchronized between different machines and still push changes to a bitbucket repo. There would never push two person at the same time, because its just me.
Thanks in advance,

Pregnancy Facial
My skin has been insanely dry the past couple of weeks due to my constant barfing. Hi morning sickness- I hate you. Please go away. Luckily I live in LA and there are fabulous treatments like the Pregnancy Facial from Kate Somerville to help restore my sad skin. If you live here or plan on visiting you have to check out Kate Somerville. It's the most beautiful skin clinic I've ever been to. I've shot two episodes of The SASS there, you can watch one them by clicking here. The second one comes out in a few weeks and I actually got to chat with Kate Somerville herself. It's safe to say I'm a fan. Fun fact, the Kate Somerville clinic used to be Sean Connery's townhouse. It's located right above Alfred Coffee on Melrose where the trendiest people in all of LA lounge, sip expensive coffee and most importantly look very cool doing it. Ok, back to the facial. My girl Laura Kay had magic hands and gave me an incredible treatment that was equal parts relaxing, hydrating and calming. The pregnancy facial is designed keeping mamas to be in mind. There are no harsh chemicals (everything is baby safe!) and it addresses hormonal fluctuations, puffiness and dehydration- my personal fav. If you are a mama to be and you want to pamper yourself, check it out.

Mom 2.0 Summit
Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Mom 2.0 Summit for the first time. I was asked to speak on a panel on Friday about all things YouTube. Hopefully I shed some light on how to navigate a YouTube path for up and coming content creators and brands. Here's a hint about what a said: it's all about STARTING. Just do it. Done is better than perfect. Don't get hung up on the idea of perfection, and definitely don't let perfection stand in the way of putting yourself and/or ideas out into the cyber world. With time, you'll learn to grow and get better. No one starts out perfect. Make sense? Hope so!
The conference is part vacay (um hi Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel- can you be any prettier!?!) it also serves as an incredible networking opportunity and a place for overall inspiration. I got to hear Rita Wilson speak and perform. Did you know she sings? She's pretty badass and some how remains humble as can be. It's always a blast to meet so many mamas who are moving and shaking in this crazy online world. Thanks Mom 2.0 for a great time!
High Point Market
North Carolina! C'mon and raise up. Take your shirt off, twist it 'round yo head. Spin it like a helicopter. Petey Pablo anyone? Ok, I'll move on. I went to NC last weekend to attend the High Point Market, an industry trade show for all things furniture and design. It's kinda like fashion week but for interior designers. New collections are being showcased, buyers from around the world fly into to see them and some how little ol me was in the mix of it all this year. Why you ask? Well, I'm co-hosting a brand spanking new show called Design Smackdown with Thom Filicia, who happens to be a BIG DEAL in the design world and a hilarious human. The purpose of my trip was to promote my show and meet my fellow Design Network peeps. It was a blast. Southern hospitality is alive and well in North Carolina my friends. Love it! The trip was a whirlwind of parties, shmoozing and being blown away by all the incredible designers and artists I met. I stayed at the Grandover Resort that was located on a stunning golf course. We had an insane brunch on Sunday that I'm still recovering from. I think I got carried away with the biscuits. Oopsies. I ate most of my meals at either the resort or at Market. One night we had dinner in the Theodore Alexander showroom- that was pretty awesome! It was a bit of a challenge finding vegetarian meals, let alone vegan, but luckily the last day I got the best vegan wrap from Jerusalem Market in Greensboro. The sweetest Palestinian family runs it and they make fresh, flavorful food all day er'y day. If you find yourself in Greensboro- check 'em out. Below is a snapshot of my trip and at the bottom of the post is a sneak peek of my new show. Enjoy!

Vegan Chocolate Pudding
Good things are bound to happen when you combine a Healthy Happy Vegan Kitchen with My Dancing Kitchen! Recently my friend Kathy Patalsky came over to share this easy, delicious vegan chocolate pudding recipe. It's SO SO SO freaking good. My fam and I love this guilt free treat. Kathy is one of the top (if not THE TOP) vegan influencers on the internet and dare I say the WORLD. She has a vegan cookbook with killer recipes and multiple websites about all things vegan. She's such a pleasure to collaborate with and her dance moves are always on point. Check out all her info below including this fabulous recipe.

Vallarta Botanical Gardens
I mentioned last week that I would dedicate an entire post to the beautiful Vallarta Botanical Gardens because I have so many incredible pictures to share thanks to my dad, Mansur Kiadeh, photographer extraordinaire! If you find yourself in Puerto Vallarta anytime soon, I highly recommend visiting the gardens! Please enjoy the pics below.
Gotta Go!
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Hola! Como Estas? My fam and I headed to Puerto Vallarta last month and I wanted to share some of my favorite places. I've been going to PV for a few years now, but this was my first time going with a toddler so my activities changed a bit. There was still tequila, just not as much ; ) Below are some pics and my recommendations whether you're traveling with kids or not. Enjoy.
For a beautiful (more touristy) beach side dinner head to La Palapa. Great food, good vibes and an unbeatable view!
For something super kid friendly and very lively (and not so touristy) check out PiPi's. They have exceptional service, big portions of yummy food and live entertainment.
Cafe Des Artistes is romantic and beautiful, but not-so kid friendly.
Walk around the Art's district and pop into some of the cool galleries.
The Vallarta Botanical Gardens was such a treat that I'm dedicating a separate post just for that. Check back again soon to see those pics!
Walk on the Malecon and see all the wild street performers. If you are traveling with kids, definitely rent one of those little remote control cars for a few minutes. Your kid will be in heaven!
For an unique, non touristy experience, check out Hotel Conchas Chinas. You can reserve a room from the hotel or rent from an owner. Many of the places (like the one pictured with a private pool) are listed on AirBnB.
*The bottom 4 pics were shot by my awesome dad, Mansur Kiadeh.

The Lobster Santa Monica
The Lobster in Santa Monica is a Pescatarian's dream. (Pescatarian is not a religion fyi!) I've been coming to this historic beach side staple for a few years now. In fact it was one of the first restaurants I went to with my now husband. I've always been a fan, but lately they've done some super sexy renovations and added some delicious new things to the menu. I enjoyed a massive lunch the other day… okay, maybe I went a little wild- but it was to die for. Excellent work Chef! Can we say location location location? Hello perfection. It's on the beach overlooking the iconic Santa Monica Pier and stunning Pacific Ocean. This is a great place to bring out of town friends and family, it's perfect for date night, or a beautiful lunch with girlfriends. Basically, just go there if you want a lux beach side experience, extremely fresh seafood and an incredibly friendly staff. (Hi Lobster Lynne!)
They also offer happy hour M-F from 4:30pm-6:30pm & Brunch on Sunday's until 2:30pm

Salt Lake City
Back in November I headed to Salt Lake City for a friend's wedding. It was the first time I'd been there and I had so much fun exploring. Here's a quick snapshot of my girls getaway.
Where to stay: I LOVED my experience at The Grand America. It's a luxury hotel walking distance from downtown. They have a fantastic spa where I received a TWO HOUR massage. (#Heaven) There are multiple dining options in the hotel, including a lobby bar with live music on the weekends. (Yes, you can drink booze in Salt Lake!) They also have a toy store, pool, gym and even a French Patisserie.
Where to eat/drink: I had a few meals at the Grand America but I also wanted to explore the city. The Copper Onion came highly recommended for brunch. My girls and I had a great time there. We also LOVED the speakeasy inside Bodega. (aka The Rest) That was by far my favorite place. Definitely check it out if you find yourself in Salt Lake. Tons of people told me to eat at Red Iguana and sadly I didn't get a chance to. Next time!
What to do: Other than the staring at the stunning mountains, one of the main attractions is the Mormon Temple/Temple Square. The building itself is beautiful from the outside. Because it is considered a sacred church you must be a member to go inside. City Creek Mall is a few blocks away and requires no membership! It's a nice indoor/outdoor shopping center with great retailers and restaurants.
Watch my Salt Lake City video below!
Gotta Go!

Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,
We just received the attached photograph of one of our beneficiaries in Nepal and we wanted to share it with you.
Eleven year-old Purnima was literally born in a Kathmandu factory where her parents worked as carpet weavers. She and her two brothers knew nothing about the outside world, but only the pain that came from her alcoholic fathers' drunken rages and the hunger from barely eating two meals a day.
In Purnima's world, carpet weaving was an exhausting daily routine until June 29, 2010 when a GoodWeave inspector discovered her. She is now enrolled in a second level class at GoodWeave's rehabilitation center and receiving counseling to help cope with her tragic upbringing.
With your support, Purnima has entered a new world, as you can see from the image of her giggling, and she hopes one day to be a doctor to help other children.
Thank you for making this possible,

WE didnt eat at this hotel or use the pool, but were surprised how nice the pool looked and the different menu varieties it had. The staff were helpful and the room was spacious and clean. The only thing I think could be improved is when the luggage was stored in the luggage room we were just given the key to collect it in two occassions, which didnt reassure us about the security of our luggage being left there as they didnt ask for name or come and collect the bags with us.

Need to upgradePosted Aug 4, 2015 on Hotels
convenient to the Gig tree bay & Lidl if you have a car (5-10 min driving). 10-15 min to nearby restaurants. hotel breakfast and dinner buffet limited choices. all in all, the hotel and management needs modern upgrades, faculties (e.g TV) like in 70-80s. Internet not free in room, and aircon in room is old and noisy and public areas with fans only - hot hot hot at 42C!

είναι σε πολύ καλή περιοχή. χρειάζεται όμως ανακαίνηση γιατί τα κρεβάτια δεν ήταν άνετα και όταν γύριζες πλευρό έκανε θόρυβο το κρεβάτι. επίσης στο διαμέρισμα δεν υπήρχε ούτε μια κατσαρόλα για να μαγειρέψεις.

Great value for moneyPosted May 27, 2014
Pros: Basic bedrooms but regularly cleaned and contained good level of equipment. Great pool area and bar, Spiros is great!
Cons: The beds were VERY firm, and by the end of the two weeks we were both suffering with back ache.
Location: Good location for Protaras/Pernera but you will need to be prepared for a 10 minute walk in either direction
We were overall very pleased with the Artemis considering the reasonable price we paid. We were upgraded foc to a one room apartment which consisted of a small kitchenette (fridge with ice box, 2 hotplates, table top oven plus plenty of crockery and utensils/pans, a decent living area with a sofa, a balcony with small table and a couple of chairs overlooking the pool plus the bedroom with a superking size bed and a decent bathroom. Lounge had a TV but local programmes only and reception not great. There was a small pool bar and a decent restaurant with average prices for Protaras. The staff were great and very helpful, especially Spiros who ran the bar. The pool itself was a good size and warmish, and there were plenty of good sunloungers. Free wi-fi in the lobby and bar, and we did actually pick it up on our balcony The hotel is situated on the main road about halfway betwen Penera and Protaras so you will have a 10 minute walk either way into town. I would suggest asking for a room on the pool side of the hotel rather than the road as it is a busy and noise road up until midnight.
