JW Marriott Austin
Affärshotell i topp
110 East 2nd Street, Austin, TX
0,5 km från
2544 kr+
Great gym/workout facility Very comfortable room Love the full length windows and light Great location Charge $$$ for wifi Noise from the street was surprisingly loud, even on the 30th floor
Rooms very average...In addition it was very noisy, could hear everything going on opening/closing of doors.. etc.
The location was awesome, the staff was super friendly and very accommodating, the room was clean and had an amazing view of downtown. Overall it was perfect for a couple of girlfriends and I to getaway and explore austin. One thing that I didn't like was that the pool was extremely crowded every day and night that we were there. There was barely room to get IN the pool (you were pretty much shoulder to shoulder in there) let alone find a chair to relax on because they were all taken. We were really excited about the pool too but turns out it wasn't so relaxing. That's my only complaint tho, this hotel was amazing so I can't blame everyone wanting to be there and to enjoy the pool as well.
When we checked in there was a candy wrapper on floor, pieces of trash in closet and a small piece on bathroom floor. I had to call housekeeping to clean our room Saturday after 4:30 pm. They didn't wipe the tops of bedside tables that needed it. Parking service was a nightmare. Long wait times.
Very new and nice hotel. Very big hotel that has hundreds of people in the lobby at a given time. Never had a bad stay there and service is good. But always feel like I am a convention when I stay there.
The JW is centrally located to the Austin downtown area and many trendy restaurants and bars were within walking distance. In addition, the room, staff and on-site restaurants were excellent. When I spend that amount of money for a nightly accommodation, WiFi and Internet need to be a part of the package.
Everything! Beautiful room, beautiful city, excellent location.
I liked how friendly the staff was. The entire place is super clean and nice. Accessible to many great restaurants and 6th st. Also there's a lake only two blocks away! The only reason why I didn't give it a five stars rating is because the entrance to the parking lot is so busy. They only had one entrance and unless you valet you were waiting to get into the garage. On the upside the wait was less than 7 minutes. Also the pool bar needs more kore bartenders. The pool attendees were really nice once you flag them down for attention.
Parking not included
The people were really nice and helpful I would have been great to know about the bat bridge and other things to do in Austin when checking in. Almost a poster or something to give more detail. Really liked the location and the staff was stellar!!
great friendly staff in the very reasonably priced TGI Fridays bar (this was SXSW festival week) pity they didn't stay open later during the early part of SXSW week as they would have persuaded many older festival goers to make it back to the bar towards the end of the night! lots of noise from our room overlooking Chaves/ Congress junction could do with triple glazing on that side of the hotel
Location, downtown Austin on the Lake, close to walking and jogging trails, close to restaurants and entertainment My suites were not available due to some booking issues through booking.com. Something about a credit card not being charged to hold the rooms. I was not notified by booking.com. Fortunately the hotel management found us two rooms, but they were not suites -- small rooms with a bed and couch.
Perfect view of Town Lake. The city was within walking distance. The sleep number bed was a plus! The hotel did not have my reservation from Booking.com on their records. I had to print out my confirmation email from Booking.com in order to get my room.
The hotel was located in the center of the city. A walk to the conference center took only 5 minutes.
Wonderful view of town lake from this room. Great room size. The attached parking garage was a poor value and the hotel lets unauthorized persons take up the handicapped parking spaces.
The RHS has one big asset. The location of the hotel is right on the "bat-bridge." Hotel is just three stars. Nice. Clean. Serviceable. Devoid of luxury.
Convenient toconference center, Staff helpful. Room comfortable, and spacious with pleasant view. Beds good Hotel startting to show signs of age so fixtures and fittings not up to date
Location, Starbucks for quick breakfast. Much too noisy. The single-pane windows do not protect from the traffic noise of Cesar Chavez, noisy trucks at 2:00am and heavy traffic until midnight. Noisy ice machines.
Unfriendly staff, Broken elevator Charged my for dinner rolls when they forgot to put them in my to go bag that I was taking to my room
It has a great location, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the Starbucks and Friday's in the lounge were very convenient! It was about 20 blocks from Royal Memorial Stadium. I wish it were closer to the University.
Dried jelly on table next to bed, drug dealer down the hall way, family of 8 with kids running up and down hall at 10:30 pm, drunk drug addict passed out in in stairwell at 5:45 am.
Location, location, location. Dirty Sixth was super accessible. The furniture was a bit dirty. The refrigerator, for example, was super filthy, like it hadn't been cleaned.
The location is GREAT! Awesome walking distance to take in the sites.. The prices can be very expensive! Especially for it being a 2 star hotel. The young girl at the front desk when I checked in was a lil rude. If I paying $405 a night I expect a decent breakfast...not a muffin and coffee...
Big enough room, great location, and good parking. Smelt like cigarette smoke, the lights in the bathroom didn't work, room wasn't very clean and the walls are thin!

Morton's happy hour. They are gracious from the curb to the wait staff and bar tender.ambiance and food can't be beat. Well worth it of you can afford it.
George Balanchine's The Nutcracker at Keller Auditorium
If you come in from the West don't count on bus #58 to get you back there, the last one is scheduled for 1107, but must have gone through earlier; had to walk to Morrison to catch the MAX.
Not a lot of food options on a Sunday night, especially if you are going with kids. Plan a head to eat elsewhere than right by the venue.
The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses -- Master Quest
You can get basic mixed drinks on the main floor when you come in - off to your far right. But they told us they have a martini bar up on the second floor that makes amazing fresh drinks! Come early to enjoy these!
Oregon Ballet Theatre: Cinderella
Best place to park is just a block away at Clay/2nd in the parking garage.
Bistro Marquee across the street is a bit pricey for dinner, but has great happy hour specials if you can get a seat in the lounge.
We forgot that Keller Aud. opens a restaurant upstairs for special events. This would have been really convenient for our older guests.

Why only seven bits?
I'd bump that way up for a start - it takes over 1ms to transmit a single digit at that speed.
If you reduce resolution (byte)(analogRead(A0) >> 3) you should be able to buffer about 1000 and you can send them easily in binary.

They've sweated their butts off, been browbeaten by Jillian Michaels, lost hundreds of pounds of collective weight and run a marathon. Tuesday night, one of the final four "Biggest Loser: Couples" contestants will also get substantially richer.
We already know that New Yorker Tara Costa and Helen Phillips of Michigan will be taking part in the final weigh-in, with the title of Biggest Loser and a $250,000 prize on the line. They'll be joined by either Mike Morelli or his dad, Ron, whose fate was left in the hands of viewers at the end of last week's episode.
The third finalist will be revealed in the first 10 minutes of Tuesday's show, but you'll have to wait a good long while before the winner is announced: NBC has stretched the finale to a full three hours, starting at 8 p.m. ET.
Before that viewing marathon begins, though, we want to hear from you which of the two Morelli men you want to see advance to the finals, and which contestant deserves to take the big prize. Vote in the polls below.

Bill O'Reilly: The Christmas spirit
Anyone offended by public displays of Christmas needs to see a psychiatrist. Are we clear on this? You are a loon if the sight of baby Jesus arouses anger or sadness in you. Get help.
This brings us to the governor of Rhode Island, Lincoln Chafee. He recently told me on national television that the reason he will not use the word "Christmas" in describing the state Christmas tree is that the word might offend non-Christians. The governor calls the state-purchased symbol a "holiday tree."
My reply to the governor was that by excluding the word "Christmas," he might be offending the 73 percent of Americans who describe themselves as Christian, not to mention the 2.2 billion Christians worldwide. Chafee chafed when he heard that but had no answer.
And then the governor did a very interesting thing: He announced the lighting of the "holiday tree" in Providence a full 30 minutes before the cord was plugged in. Very few Rhode Islanders even knew about the tree lighting because it was done so surreptitiously. Chafee did that because he feared protestors would do what they did last year: sing Christmas carols at the lighting. And we can't have that, now, can we?
Jon Stewart and his merry band of elves will tell you that the so-called "War on Christmas" is a figment of the imagination, perhaps a result of indigestion after eating too much holiday pudding. Stewart's posture is similar to what Ebenezer Scrooge put forth when the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come told him he was bound for hell. I am channeling Charles Dickens to see whether the ghost can visit Stewart on Christmas Eve. I'll let you know what happens.
There is something to the argument that there are more important things to worry about than whether people like Christmas. But the assaults against the national holiday are annoying, unnecessary and often disrespectful.
I mean, here's how bad it is in this country: A pastor in Arkansas canceled a play called "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown" because some nutty atheist objected to public school kids seeing it on church grounds. So Charlie, Snoopy and Linus were thrown under the bus by a Christian cleric. Good grief!
For all of you separation-of-church-and-state fans, here's the deal: Jesus of Nazareth was a man. In fact, he was the most influential person ever born. A third of the world's population has signed on to the Christian edicts: love God, and love your neighbor as yourself. That sounds like a good thing.
So, when President Grant honored Jesus by signing into law the national holiday of Christmas in 1870, the nation certified that a positive message of generosity and peace was worthy of a day off. Pretty much everybody was on board.
But not today.
In our current state, the Thomas More Law Center has to litigate against attacks on Christmas every year. Anti-religion zealots put up billboards in Times Square denouncing Christmas as a "myth." Rabid secularists bridle at any mention of Jesus or his nice mom and dad.
To them I say: Peace on Earth and tough. You don't like the federal holiday? Try to rescind it. Start with our pal Lincoln Chafee. See how far you get with that.
And by the way, Merry Christmas to all. Even you loons.

Weeding out the grass roots
July 20, 2016 § 21 Comments
There is a new poison in the herbicide arsenal, stronger than Roundup, Banish, Barren, and TK-10 all lumped together, one so nasty and lethal that where it is poured nothing will thrive, nothing will grow, nothing will live.
We started Telo last night with our eyes glued to the fancy winner's jersey plastered on the back of Smasher, knowing that whatever else happened, it was going to hurt us more than it hurt him, and it would be unendurable. Smasher's race plan was simple: Smash.
His ultimate goal? Get the winner's jersey for his teammate Derek the Destroyer, who a couple of weeks ago had officially retired as a profamateur, gained ten pounds, quit training, and places top-five now in every race he enters.
My plan was simple. Follow Smasher's wheel, also known as Belling the Cat. Destroyer opened Lap 3 with a fierce attack, which I easily followed. All I had to do was go harder than I've ever gone in my life, then add ten percent. We were quickly reabsorbed. After following Destroyer around for another lap or so it seemed wise to slip farther back.
We had a large field of broken and hopeless wankers, none of whom had the slightest chance of surviving the carnage that was about to be unleashed. In a flash, just as I had settled back to check my phone and see how much money I'd lost for the day on Chinese real estate stocks, Destroyer went again and took six riders with him.
Being at the back when the winning break rolls is the stupidest feeling in the world. You watch it happen from afar, slack-jawed at your bad judgment, while all of the idiots around you either don't know what's happening, don't care what's happening, or, like me, pray to dog that someone will take the bit between his teeth and do all of the nasty work dragging you up to the split.
Then I spied Smasher, who was cheerily pedaling along, not the least concerned. "That wanker," I said to myself. "He totally missed the split." So I got on his wheel while a few panicked riders took turns trying to organize a chase.
[*Note to non-racers: "Organize a chase" is a fantasy concept that exists in the minds of people who think that a group of people who hate each other will work together for a common cause, cf. Republican National Convention in Cleveland.]
As we rounded Turn 4, I saw Smasher, who is British, arch his lower back slightly, tighten his grip on the drops, and push down harder on the pedals. "This is it, here comes Brexit!" I laughed to myself, jumping hard on the pedals so that I'd already have a head of steam when Smasher launched his bridge.
When Brexit came I was already accelerating, already committed, already fully prepared to follow Nigel Farrage in his destruction of the common European weal–except that I wasn't. Smasher opened up a bike length, then two, then five, then ten, and then he was a tiny speck far, far ahead as I sagged in no-person's-land. I don't know how many watts he expended, but Strava says I was at my max of 253 watts, so he was putting out at least 14,000 or so.
There is a moment in every race that is decisive, which is another way of saying there is a moment in every race when everyone gives up hope, digs into their suitcase of excuses, tries several on until finding one that fits, and then takes comfort in finishing with the other losers in the fourth chase group. I slunk to the back and congratulated myself on having had the wisdom to miss the split and to choose the Wheel That Shall Not Be Followed.
However, the Brexit plot thickened. The other losers back in the EU chase group were unwilling to be losers just yet, and the breakaway lost steam as Scotland insisted it would Screxit from the UK and Scrontinue with the EU. After an eternity of riding at ridiculous speeds through cracks in turns, lapping gassed riders who would jump in, gap me out, then re-explode, after battering into the headwind where each pedal stroke felt like algebra, the incredible happened: Smasher and Boozy P. came back. Brexit was going to be put to a re-vote.
The losers took heart; the remnants of Destroyer's break were a mere 200 yards away! They had been caught!
Except, since they were still 200 hundred yards away, they hadn't been.
They dangled.
They teased.
They shed a couple more riders.
They were just within reach, kind of like good interest rates in someone else's mythical portfolio.
Then, at the key moment in the race, I did what I'm known far and wide for: I cowered and hoped someone else would do for me what I was too lazy to do for myself.
No one did, and the 200 turned to 300. Fortunately, Smasher was still with us, until, of course, he wasn't. He leaped across the windy gap in Brexit II, caught Destroyer and Steinhafel, and the three of them immediately put an entire half-lap on the twenty remaining losers, all of whom lost.
There was some sprunting for scraps, but I couldn't be bothered to watch Destroyer pull on his first ever victory tunic, which of course he'd won in retirement. With the Union shattered and the cycling grass roots poisoned with buckets of all-kill herbicide, it was a great way to end the day. The only thing that would have made it better would have been having my new Leather Volt break down, which happily it did.
At least I'm not bitter.

Why you'll probably never, ever win a bike race
June 23, 2016 § 16 Comments
It's not because you don't put out enough power, or don't have a good enough bike, or don't have the right coach, or aren't on the right drugs.
It's not because you have a job, because this is just a hobby, because you take your family obligations seriously, or because you can't leave work early or start work late.
It's not because your legs are too short, your tummy's too round, your neck's too stiff, or your body is better at "endurance" than "short" events.
It's not because you drank too much beer the night before, or you had to service someone, or they served you gluten pancakes by mistake, or the ectrolytes in your bottle were frazzy raspberry instead of chunky chocolate.
It's not because you're mostly a climber, or mostly a rouleur, or mostly a time-trailer, or mostly a lead-out rider, or mostly a sprunter but only from 100-yards with a lead-out train.
It's not because your FTP is low, your HR is high, your VO2 is average, or your prostate is prolapsed.
It's none of those things.
It's because you aren't Aaron Fucking Wimberley. And guess what? You never will be.
Aaron is of course a metaphor, but he's a metaphor writ large. He's been off the bike since last summer, logs a hundred miles a week if that, works 50 hours a week, has an actual personal life, and when stuff gets busy, as it has for the last year, his bike sits in the corner and gathers dust.
But on race day, which yesterday was, when Aaron came out to the Telo crit, the famed crit that now offers a champion's custom jersey and SEVEN WHOLE DAYS of undisputed bragging rights, when he showed up along with Jules Gilliam, Rudy Napolitano, David Wells, Josh Alverson, Jon Davy, Francis Hardiman (omit the "i" and you'll know all you never need to know about that dude), Alex Barnes, James Doyle, Chainbreak, Casey Macguire, and an entire throng of pack fodder, with every single rider planning on getting that jersey, and Rudy launching artillery rounds every lap and Josh countering with bunker busters and Jules slashing everyone with a machete and the group gradually reducing to its barest essence like a fine French consomme, and the pace so torrid most of the time all you could do was grit your fuggin' teeth and curse blood, and Aaron, the guy with the least miles and the least fitness, hiding, thinking, suffering, thinking, following, thinking, waiting, and thinking until all the body blows had been landed and all the howitzer shells had been spent and the machete blades had broken off and the last lap was tear-your-cheeks-off-fast and people crumpled and folded like bad origami and with a thousand long yards to go whenJules sprang free, he had it he had it he had it he had it until he didn't, which was about the time that Aaron gave it one perfectly planned and immaculately thought out hard kick, the only kick he'd given all day because it was the only kick he had, and he'd been saving it like North Korea with its one functioning nuke, and the timing was perfect and the power was perfect and the line was perfect and the acceleration was perfect and all everyone else could do was slump and sigh and groan as their jersey dreams went up in a puff of smoke and bad bong water.
Because winning bike races takes legs, but what it really takes is brains.

Elder abuse
June 15, 2016 § 16 Comments
We had six laps to go at Telo last night, which has evolved from a skull-splitting massacre by the strong of the weak into something even worse thanks to the introduction of the now-famed Telo World Championship jersey.
The rules are unclear as to whether you have to turn over your jersey if you lose, or whether former winners can wear their jersey during the race, but if you win the race you get the jersey, designed by StageOne Sports with curlicue flourishes to remind everyone that whatever else Telo is, it's nastily windy.I showed up last night for the first time since the jersey was introduced and noticed that not only were all the hitters present and accounted for, but a Velo Club La Grange squad comprised of Austin Powers, Sausage, and Surfer Dan had shown up with the specific intent to rip the jersey off of David's back and take it back to the west side, preferably with a few heads mounted on pikes to serve as warnings or as appetizers for Patrick Barret's legendary barbecue.
The plan to keep my powder dry for the first thirty minutes didn't survive first contact with the enemy, or the second, or the third, and in fact after five minutes my powder was soaking wet. The second 2:20 lap shed half the field and the third lap split the field again. Simple math suggested that if the field continued its torrid process of mitosis there would soon be no one left.
Stuck in the chase group I chased hard, which is another way of saying I sat on Davy's wheel while he chased hard, then sat on Sausage's wheel while he chased sort of hard, then sat on Carlos's wheel while he didn't chase hard at all, then sat on Patrick's wheel while he sat on other people's wheel, and then barely stuck my nose into the wind, realized it was blowing hard and directly into my face, and crawled back into my hole.
Soon the entire school of remoras were firmly attached to Davy's mighty thighs, and after much sturm, much drang, and extreme discomfort, Davy dragged us back to the leaders.
Smasher and Derek attacked repeatedly and were repeatedly brought back. Then with six laps to go and everyone starting to calculate just exactly how they were going to get that pretty new jersey, I cruised into the headwind section and gradually pulled away.
I looked back and saw a huge gap which was bad. When you are old and weak and alone and in a headwind, the only possible outcomes are bad, worse, and worst. In this case of course it turned out being worst, because Smasher, Rico Swervy, and Austin Powers bridged up. Imagine being a guppy swimming happily with your other guppy tankmates and then suddenly some idiot dumps a catfish into the aquarium.
The first thing that the bridgers did, of course, is ride past me so that I had to swim extra hard to latch on. After a lap they began riding even faster. Then they began screaming at me. I wasn't sure what they said due to the wind and my breathing but piecing each of the shouts together it sounded like this:
Smasher: …. through … catch … !
Austin Powers: Pull … you … the … gonna … you …!
Rico Swervy: … field … us … sake!
I marveled at the air from their lungs they were able to spare in order to repeatedly shout and spit at me; having none myself I endured the singularly horrible combination of verbal and physical abuse. At one point on the tailwind straightaway Austin Powers went so fast that my field of vision became a tiny dot of wheeze, not a speck wider than the 23mm of his rear tire.
Did they not know that I was 52 years old? Did they not understand that 52 is no match for 20, 30, and 40? Did they not understand that I had sprinters back in the field? Did they not understand that I wasn't pulling through because I was totally pinned? Were they frustrated at my presence, which seemed to indicate that none of them were really all that good if they couldn't ride away from a grandfather?
Smasher urged some more and then attacked and rode away and won.
Austin and Rico screamed and attacked but didn't ride away, perhaps because they couldn't. As we approached the finish they looked back in a panic. "You sprinting?" Austin begged, unaware that of all my bad qualities, sitting in a break at a training race and sprinting for second wasn't one of them.
I said more nothing, as I'd been saying for the last six laps.
After the race Smasher was awarded the jersey as all of the dead, near-dead, and going-to-be-dead-later riders stood around and imagined themselves in that natty Lycra pullover. He smiled. He mugged. Then he singled me out: "Why didn't you pull through?"
Everyone looked at me. "Congratulations, Josh," I said.

Thrill of the chase
May 25, 2016 § 11 Comments
When your face is mashed against the stem and there is a 33-mph sweep up the left side and you're already pegged trying to close a 3-foot gap just to get up to a wobbly, about-to-detonate wheel so you can (with much prayer) leapfrog over the next gap that is going from a bike length to a football field, when the pain is shooting up your legs into your lungs and rasping like a giant file on a block of concrete, when you're at that point in the race when you have found THE WORD and THE WORD is "QUIT!" and you're already making up reasons why QUIT is brilliant and clever and CONTINUE is for insecure insane people because WHAT DO I HAVE TO PROVE and HOW AM I GOING TO PROVE IT OUT HERE are the dominant models in your mind's dialectical discourse re: the philosophy of not giving up, when all that is happening it is hard to feel fun, much less see it.
That was my Telo last night, a huge turnout with mighty hammers of enraged wrath swinging in the fists of Evens Stievenart, Josh Alverson, Evan Stade, Sam Warford, Dan Cobley, Garrett Olsen, Peyton Cooke, Dave Wells, and a host of other characters who found the front for long enough to dump a bucket of boiling pain down the throats of the suffering convicts who were chained in hell to the unrelenting single-file line of pain.
But one rider stood out, even among that throng of ill-tempered criminals. He was slight, he was small, he was young, he hadn't really learned how to ride in a straight line or how to keep his head up when sprinting full bore in the middle of a pack, but he had this: He had the magic.
This kid went with every surge, attempted every breakaway, tried to bridge to every move, bounced around in the pack like a ping-pong ball, tore at his pedals to not get dropped in the back straight, launched off the front fearlessly in the draft of the big fast men, pushed his way to the point only to get batted to the back, surged, blew, attacked, blew, followed, blew, sprinted, blew, launched, blew, blew, blew, blew, recovered, hit the gas as hard as he could and did it all over again.
Bader the Bad made his mark not only with his tenacity, but with the effect he had on the aged, the grizzled, the cynical, the broken, the jaded, and the crusty old farts trying to decide whether it was worth hanging on. In sixty minutes this kid showed us why we first raced: For the abandon and complete immersion into the moment, where age doesn't matter, gender is irrelevant, name/rank/serial number/national origin/sexual orientation all blend into the necessity of the moment, "Can you hang, and if so can you WIN?"
Bader didn't win, but on the last lap with the pack in tatters and even the iron-legged titans feeling the burn, he leaped, he attacked, he gave it his all for the hundredth time, and he didn't stop pedaling until he had crossed the line.
He he gave us hope, he gave us a bike race, he made us hurt, and best of all, after the gasping was done, he made us smile.

Stupid sport for stupid dumbheads
April 13, 2016 § 21 Comments
Now that I have quit bike racing except for last weekend and next Sunday I realize what a stupid sport for stupid dumbheads it is. Can you imagine? Old people putting on underwear and racing around in circles or over tall mountains so they can pat themselves on the back and further the delusion that they're not teetering on the edge of the abyss?
Dog, what a stupid sport. Now that I have quit it completely I don't miss it at all. What was I thinking? How many years did I waste? All that time I could have spent with my family or in prison, spilt, Onan-like, on the asphalt, never to be put in a productive furrow.
It's so embarrassing.
Today was Telo, the local Tuesday nighter and a really stupid training crit. Extra stupid, in fact because it is hard and windy and windy and hard. What maroon would voluntarily go down there and flog himself for an hour for NOTHING? Stupid dumbheads, that's who.
I knocked off work at 4:00 and hadn't done any exercise so I figured I would go down to Telo to check it out as a new, sober ex- racer. It just so happens that I have a completely idiotic skinsuit that's practically brand new so I went ahead and put it on because otherwise, what a waste.
Also, my race wheels have perfectly fine tubulars in perfect condition and I thought I might as well give them a ride even though I'd only be pedaling for a lap or two at a snail's pace while laughing at all the stupid idiot dumbheads racing like crazy shooting through parked trucks and oncoming traffic like dumbheads.
Also, I took off my extra bottle cage because who needs that? And there were some other things, unneeded, which I also removed, and there was my stupid, overpriced, aero helmet but why not wear that? And the stupid dumbhead shoe covers. I mean, I own 'em, might as well use 'em.
The race started and I pitied the poor fools, stupid dumbheads every one, acting like any of it mattered. I was going to pedal for two laps but since I was already there and it was super slow I kept rolling around, watching them attack and ride like fools, fools. After about fifteen minutes Destroyer put in a hard effort and it was SOOOOOO stupid I was watching him and shaking my head but what the heck? So I pedaled up behind him, but it was only going to be for a lap until we got caught by the other stupid dumbheads, then I'd quit and have a good laugh at their expense.
The two of us rode around a few laps and I looked back and no one was in sight so I figured "What the heck? It can't hurt to do another lap or two until we get caught plus we'll pass that wanker Brad House a dozen times and it's always fun to watch him with smoke coming out of his ass as he flails around pretending he's here for some reason other than to make a buck at his annual bike race with its $200 prize lists and dirty jockstrap primes."
The stupid dumbheads didn't catch us because they were going so slow, so I pedaled some more. Pretty soon it had gotten really stupid, so just before I quit I figured I'd do another lap but then it was five to go, and who quits with five to go? So I chuckled at how stupid it all was, dog knows it made no difference to me who won, and I pedaled a bit more and soon it was two laps to go.
Now I didn't want to win at all, it didn't mean anything to me. I've given up on bike racing it's STUPID. Still, I felt sorry for Destroyer who obviously was desperate to win so I rode a little bit more until one lap to go. Well, with one to go you have to go to the end, even when you don't care, right?
I didn't go that hard but it was hard enough to feel moderate sensations of discomfort, and that's exactly when we got caught by the pack and passed quicker than a plate loaded with casserole surprise. Of course it made no difference to me, I couldn't have cared less just because I got next-to-last because I had planned on quitting anyway.
So glad I'm done with it except for this coming Sunday and I think there may be a couple more on the calendar that I'm doing out of a sense of obligation, that's all.

Don't attack from the gun
April 7, 2016 § 18 Comments
Every time I ride Telo I roll away on the neutral lap.
There are no neutral laps.
This time I repeated all the way there, "Don't roll off on the neutral lap. Don't jump and follow any early attacks. Don't be an early attacker. Sit on Destroyer. Destroyer never misses the split. Today thou shalt rest."
Telo is too hard, too windy, and too hotly contested for a rider or a pair of riders to stick it for a full sixty minutes. But I am too boneheaded and impatient to pay attention to silly facts and I never like to rest.
Grandpa Joe waved us off. Evens Stievenart, two time French national TT champion, rolled away with Evan Stade and Dan Beam. "I'd love to go with you suckers on a futile suicide mission of dumbness," I chuckled, "but today I am going to save my bullets and win. And I am going to rest."
I had my special winning speedsuit on and my full carbon everything including my fully carbonized water in my carbon water bottle.
After five minutes Destroyer unleashed the bridge attack from hell that no one can ever follow. I chortled, chortlingly, easily following his searing acceleration until he sat up. I refused to pull through and slunk to the back, resting. The group regrouped and we pedaled some more. I rested.
The wind wasn't as windy as it normally is. "But still, there's no way those three guys are going to stick it. No one has ever held a 60-minute breakaway from the gun." I watched a couple of hard efforts and smirked, resting.
Pretty soon after a very long time it was only a few laps to go. Destroyer began taking massive pulls and suddenly the break was in sight. Then they were closer. Then they were a lot closer. With one lap to go we could see the browns of their rear eyes. I sure felt rested.
Destroyer took a shuddering pull and swung over. So did the rest of the tattered remnants. I still felt fresh and rested. The break was all but caught.
Take note and put special emphasis on the word "but."
As we checked each other out and tried to come up with plausible excuses for not making the final effort without having to say "I was too tired" or "I was too weak" we instead focused on "Evens is our teammate, yeah, that's it, and we'd never chase a teammate except at San Dimas."
The break pulled away. And we never caught them.
But I sure was rested.

Training crit
March 31, 2016 § 22 Comments
We have a training crit called Telo. No one is sure what it trains anyone for, but on Tuesday at 6:00 PM we do it anyway.
Telo, pronounced "this really fuggin' sucks," has one main feature, wind. Huge buckets of it sweep off the coast every afternoon without exception. Yesterday the buckets were Rubbermaid Industrial Sized; I'm guessing 25 mph.
The course is a long tailwind section, a short right-hander, then a long headwind section, a chicane, more headwind, another right-hander, and back to the tailwind part. You would think that the headwind section is the worst part and you would be right.
One of the great things about the Internet and being really famous is that when you announce you're going to be at Telo a ton of people show up. So I announced my presence and got to see what kind of weight I pull in the South Bay as a tiny group of maybe twenty-five riders appeared.
The only thing that makes Telo harder than huge wind buckets is a small field. Yesterday the field included Evens, Smasher, Fireman, Destroyer, Surfer Dan, SB Baby Seal, Hair, and Family Jules. Clearly the worst thing to do would be to attack from the gun. All I had to do was mark Destroyer and I'd make the split, which is exactly like the old Aesops' fable of Belling the Cat. All the mice have to do to stop the cat from eating them is put a big bell around his neck. Yep, that's all.
Junkyard, who showed up to flash lap cards, waved us off. By refusing to participate, he once again proved himself the wisest person there, although as he scampered back and forth across the course with riders whizzing by he almost achieved the Trifecta of Bike Crashes: Falling on the Road, Falling on the Track, and Getting Run Over at a Bike Race While Not Even Riding.
I attacked from the gun, if "attack" is what you call dangling 50 yards ahead of everyone on the neutral lap. However, it served its purpose, which was to make sure I felt droopy and lacticky when the real attacks began, of which there was only one, and which came from Evens, and which was into the headwind, and which everyone could simply look at and drool hangdoggedly "You go." "Nuh-uh. You go." "Fugg tha, you go."
The field had about fifteen people left and they all appeared to be small and thin and useless for my purposes, which was finding a good wheel to gasp onto.
I followed a couple of hapless moves and never slipped back more than fourth wheel, all the while wondering "Where are Destroyer and Smasher? Where are Smasher and Destroyer?" Nothing would happen without them, except what had happened, which was that the winning break of one had morphed into the winning group of five and I wasn't in it.
Fireman, though, was. He had told me before the race, "Just follow my wheel and you'll make the split." So I followed several other wheels while he made the split and I didn't.
As I took a few ineffectual pulls I kept wondering, "Where are Destroyer and Smasher? Gee I'm tired and exhausted and tasting that salty sour bitter stuff in the back of my throat and my legs have that 'stop' feeling but where are they? What are they doing? Smasher is always patient and waits until the first 30 seconds to attack but not today. Is he tired? Weak? Sick? Too much Cal-Mex queso before the ride?"
Of course I could have looked, but it's hard to turn your head when you're rollicking through massive pavement cracks dodging oncoming angry cagers and delivery trucks whipping out of industrial park driveways and 25-mph gusts that stand you up when you slam from the sheltered short top section into the wind and your eyes have switched sockets.
If I had looked back I would have seen D&S chillily sitting in the back not having yet pedaled. Which would have been a bad thing to see.
"When are they going to attack and bridge?" I wondered. So I slipped back and got on Smasher's wheel, who was on Destroyer's wheel. "Okay fuckers," I said. "Do your worst and drag me up to the break."
On cue, Destroyer hopped hard on his pedals and Smasher hopped with him. Surfer Dan slotted in ahead of me and it was just the four of us. First we went fast. Then faster. Then really fast. Once we hit the apex of this-hurts-so-bad-if-we-go-any-faster-my-face-will-come-off, Destroyer started going fast.
Surfer gapped, which was great because now I had an excuse. IF ONLY HE HADN'T GAPPED ME OUT I WOULD HAVE MADE IT. REALLY, MOM!!!
I watched the two of them pedal merrily off, satisfied that I now had an excuse and, since we'd slowed down, could breathe again and uncross my kidneys.
Ten riders came up to us. Everyone else who hadn't already been dropped got dropped.
We rode the next forty minutes in a single line. Each time you got within three riders of the front the pain was unendurable. My pulls went from weak and ineffectual to lightning-brief cameos where my pull consisted of one pedal stroke, a 5-mph decrease in speed, and a wildly flapping elbow.
One by one the group shrank. Every couple of laps someone shuddered and quit. 11. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6.
This is what it must have been like to be stuck in a life raft with nothing to eat but each other, and nothing to drink but blood, salt water, and urine. When SB Baby Seal melted into a wet stain and slithered off the back with only a couple of laps to go I knew things were bad. With Hair, Boozy P., Jay L., and Surfer Dan the only people left in our pitiful chase group that wasn't really a chase group so much as it was a don't-get-lapped group, and with us all broken the only thing left of the glorious dreams from 60 minutes earlier, we each struggled across the line, downcast, downtrodden, filled with futility, defeat, and the reality that no matter how bad you are on a bike, racing will make you worse.
Up ahead the shenanigans had been vicious. Heavy D. and Brokeback Brokeleg had been ridden out of the break. Fireman had been worked over. Family Jules had been denied his second Telo victory despite cagey wheelsucking, sagging, pull skipping, and work avoidance of every kind. Evens had ground everyone up into fine powder. Destroyer and Smasher had attacked every lap the last five laps until one of them beat everyone else.
However, I finally realized that I had gotten it all wrong. Telo isn't a training race. It's a funeral train. And you're the guest of honor.

Google has changed its secret search formula in the United States to be more discerning when it comes to which websites are worth recommending and which should sink in the rankings.
The move announced late Thursday was part of an ongoing duel between the search titan and low-quality websites that feature only content copied from elsewhere on the Internet or use techniques to trick their way high in results.
"Many of the changes we make are so subtle that very few people notice them," Google principal engineer Matt Cutts and Google fellow Amit Singhal said in a blog post.
"But, in the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking."
They said the search formula change affects 11.8 percent of search queries, dropping low-quality websites in results while elevating high-quality websites with original content such as research, analysis, or in-depth reports.
"We do have a responsibility to encourage a healthy web ecosystem," Cutts and Singhal said.
"Therefore, it is important for high-quality sites to be rewarded, and that's exactly what this change does."
Google said that it has been the issue for more than a year and engineers spent several months working on the algorithm change, which was implemented in the United States and will be rolled out in other countries over time.Reuse content

A witch hands out balloons to young kids outside Brown Thomas on a late October Saturday.
Just out of frame of this shot is a woman who has asked for a balloon. The witch explains that the balloons are just for the kids.. I wonder why? More on this later.
A child is carried atop his parent's shoulders on St. Patrick's Street, Cork a few weeks ago.
I really like this shot, for what reason, I'm not sure. Maybe it's the brightness and flowery design of the clothing worn by parent and child compared to the passers by. I'm sure both parent and child are in a happy place wandering around town.
"Here's Health" and a sign advertising the Mutton Lane Inn can be seen in the background.
Friends talk and laugh on the street while busy shoppers pass on either side.
Pictured on St. Patrick Street, Cork last October in front of Penneys. I love my wide angle lens!
A girl steps away from the maddening crowd on a busy street.
This was a bit of an experiment for me. I blurred the background by making a duplicate layer, blurring, adding a layer mask and then revealing the girl through the layer mask. It's not perfect, and in fact, the closer I look the more imperfections I see. Unfortunately I never saved a .xcf file preserving the layers so this is the final product.
I like it. The blur successfully separates the girl from the backgrond and even the zone of sharpness takes in some of the ground around her which exaggerates the effect!
Taken on St. Patrick Street, Cork last October.
A man bends over and adjusts his shopping bag outside Tesco shopping center on Paul St. I was waiting outside the shopping center and this scene enfolded in front of me.
On a busy street people studiously ignore each other. Strangers pass by without a glance, busy with their own lives, friends gather to chat and gossip. The man bending over and checking his shopping bag was an incongruous sight in the midst of all this bustle.
I like these – Chris Weeks has some great shots of Britney Spears and party-goers at Caesars Palace's nightclub, Pure. She played host and here's what Chris says of her.
All this shit about Britney Spears passing the fuck out is fucking bullshit. I was 20 feet from her from the time she "walked the carpet" to the time she "gave the nod" to her security detail … and was whisked away …
She was not carried out of the club. I watched. I was there. Most of the people spewing bullshit weren't even in Vegas.
Today many major cities and towns around the world are going to be thronged with shoppers doing last minute shopping before Christmas Day. Traffic is going to crawl and frustrate and the crowds will be suffocating.
I'm glad I'm staying at home. We may head out to the Lough later for a walk. So stressful!
I like this: Europe – The Parisian Chapter
Matt Rudd took the GoCar around San Francisco and I remembered seeing one on my travels there last August!
Sixteen miles per hour and I'm absolutely terrified. You wouldn't think a grown man could be terrified at such low speeds, but it's because I'm being chased up one of those Steve McQueen hills by a tram. Unlike Steve McQueen, I'm not in a Ford Mustang. If I were, it wouldn't be a problem, would it? But instead of the Mustang, I'm in a bright yellow buggy with a top speed of 40mph. That's 40mph if you threw it off a cliff. Top speed up a San Franciscan hill seems to be 16mph. Sorry, 15mph. No… 13, 11, 9?
Fr James McSweeney's live crib in Ballyvolane was busy with animals and human visitors all through last week but I managed to get some shots the night when we visited.
As I mentioned already, there were all sorts of animals there, from sheep and donkeys to chickens, calves and puppies. Donations are welcome, and all proceeds go towards the renovation of St. Patrick's Church. The crib last year raised 35,000 Euro for the Cope Foundation so hopefully they can beat that this year!
The crib is open from 5pm to 9pm until the 23rd, so if you're in the area, call up to Ballyvolane Church and you'll see the signs pointing the way to the crib.
I like this: Edward Scissorhands – my wife is a huge fan of the film. I wonder how long it took to get the model looking like that?
Two girls standing at the edge of a crowd on Patrick's Street, Cork.
A quick search for irish cork girls hoops earrings led me to the answers.com page on scanger. Judging by the definition of both male and female clothing, there are plenty of them about!
Stereotypical Appearance
* Very short haircuts (sometimes with a short fringe or quiff at the front) in males. The wearing of a high pony-tail in the girls (usually at the crown of the head), negatively referred to as the "knacker knot", "scrunchie" or "Annie". The wearing of 'quiffs' on women is also becoming quite popular.
* Peroxide blonde highlights, usually on the top of the head and quiff of males, and as streaks in females have been popular in the Summers of recent years but are losing out to shaved-in patterns among short haired males.
* The wearing of thin moustaches, ("knacker-taches"), such as that made famous by Irish Boxer Barry McGuigan.
* The wearing of branded baseball caps (such as the Burberry check pattern). The cap is often worn at a sharp 70-90 degree angle. The Nike brand has a high take-up rate traditonally among this market segment. In recent years Burberry has also emerged as a strong market player.
* Prominent jewellery: sovereign rings (on men); large earrings, especially hoop earrings, (on women); and thick chains (worn around the neck or wrist) is another characteristic of the scanger; another overt display of affluance, these are often hallmarked silver or gold, or at least gold in appearance—another similarity with the british chav.
Females can be identified by the so-called "Knacker Facelift"; a ponytail with hair pulled back so far that it stretches the facial skin, hiding the wrinkled skin developed from years of eating chips and smoking since childhood.

A magpie in a blossom tree. Is right there, looking back at me.
The tree of life A living tree, A symbol of eternity.
A life reborn, It self sustains. It never leaves, it still remains.
Rejuvenating, roots so deep. A source of comfort, You can keep.
Next to your heart, Giving peace within. It means so much more, Than ink on skin.

Arizona can do no wrong in rout of Sun Devils
No. 1 Wildcats have their way in moving to 18-0, one win from school record.
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Call them the Dream Weavers.
Or, from the opponent's perspective, Nightmare Makers. Whatever the point of view, the Arizona Wildcats are enjoying a record-setting season to this point that continued Thursday night with a 91-68 blowout of rival Arizona State at McKale Center.
Junior guard Nick Johnson said the Wildcats are "living our dreams right now being the No. 1 team in the country.
"We know we have a target on our back every single game, but we take that as a challenge. We just have to keep this thing going."
Each time they do, another record will be broken. Arizona extended its all-time best start to 18-0 and is now one shy of the program's all-time best winning streak of 19, which was set in 1993 and matched in 1998.
Arizona faces Colorado in Tucson next week to try to tie the record.
But first the review how Arizona got to No. 18.
In short, Arizona was at its simple, unselfish best in manhandling the Sun Devils. Johnson led the way with 17 points, but seven players scored 10 or more for the first time in 10 years.
It was a quick and early kill.
Arizona jumped out to a 27-10 lead and didn't allow the Sun Devils to get within single digits once in the game's final 29 minutes.
After ballooning to a 21-point lead in the first half (38-17), ASU closed to within 14 at the half (42-28).
Arizona then started the second half with a 10-2 run, putting no doubt in the rout.
"We knew as a team that we had to come out strong," Johnson said. "In a rivalry game it doesn't matter if the other team is ranked. It's always going to be intense. We tried to start off the game well. People hit shots and we got stops. We didn't want to give them false hope of trying to come back or anything."
After the two fast starts it all didn't matter.
Arizona hadn't looked this good at home all season -- save for the free-throw shooting.
"We left points on the table," coach Sean Miller said after his team went 15 for 28 from the free throw line.
Even the No. 1 team in the country needs to work on something.
And yet, the Wildcats are getting better at perimeter shooting. On Thursday night, they hit 8 of 15 shots from beyond the arc.
"As long as we take good threes we're going to make them," said Miller. "We have a number of guys who can shoot the ball. We have to utilize the physicality of our team throwing it against the zone, getting it to the middle and when the ball comes out, those are really good threes. Those are the ones we are taking right now. We just have to stay with that."
It was all about balance, as Gabe York's third 3-pointer of the night with two minutes left to gave the Wildcats their seventh scorer in double figures.
"It's hard to have seven guys in double figures," Miller said.
Drum roll, please.
Aaron Gordon had 16 points, Kaleb Tarczewski 12, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson 11, and Brandon Ashley, T.J. McConnell and York 10 apiece.
"As we've said a ton, we're unselfish," McConnell said. "It's just not one guy. We can score at any position, (and) that's what makes us so dangerous. When were unselfish like that, and getting it to the big guys, I think we're pretty tough to stop."
ASU clearly couldn't.
"There's a reason Arizona is No. 1," said ASU center Jordan Bachynski, who went scoreless.
Arizona State coach Herb Sendek said Arizona's talent "wasn't a surprise, only a confirmation."
Arizona's smothering defense made it difficult for the Sun Devils from the start. ASU made just 3 of its first 20 shots from the floor as the Wildcats settled this one early.
Along the way to his 17 points, Johnson became the 48th player in school history to top the 1,000-point mark for his career.
"It feels good to be part of that group," he said.
The only thing to really slow down Arizona was a shot from Johnson that got stuck in the rim in the second half. But for all the flashy play, the signature moment of the game might have come when McConnell dove to the court for a loose ball and, from a prone position, got the ball to Johnson halfway down the court for an easy score.
"That play is the epitome of his game," Miller said. "He has a knack for getting his hands on balls defensively and plays hard. You saw all those elements in one play. That's as good a play as you can make in basketball."

She also tells me that the one part ammonia to five parts water sprayed on

Holmen uses cookies to enhance the user experience on the website, click this text to read more.
Holmen has been affiliated to the UN Global Compact for several years. As such, the Group has taken a clear stance on issues related to human rights, social conditions, responsibility for the environment and the right to establish trade unions.
Holmen has been affiliated to the UN Global Compact since 2007, and also to its corresponding Nordic network. The Group therefore supports the 10 principles listed below. There is little risk of anything in Holmen's operations conflicting with the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, because the production takes place in Swede and the UK, where such matters are closely regulated.
The UN Global Compact, the eight fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the OECD's guidelines for multinational companies form the basis for Holmen's Code of Conduct. The code, which has been signed by the Group's CEO, provides guidance on day-to-day operations and clarifies what expectations are made of Holmen's employees. All employees will be given training in the code.
A study was conducted some years ago to discover whether any customers or suppliers are failing to comply with the requirements of the Global Compact in countries that are classified internationally as 'high-risk countries'. Holmen made no substantial purchases from such countries at that time. Holmen has also analysed its sales to major customers in 'high-risk countries'. The analysis of Holmen sales indicates that these customers account for only 2–3 per cent of Holmen's revenue. Because none of these customers represent a dominant share, the view is taken that an in-depth analysis is not necessary at this stage.
Since the 2011 survey, the proportion of purchases from high-risk companies has increased both directly and indirectly with suppliers shifting their production to other countries. This prompted the development of a code of conduct for suppliers. Under the code, the suppliers undertake to respect human rights. The code also covers the environment and corruption. To ensure compliance with the code, regular checks will be made on the suppliers. Amongst other things, the code of conduct governs forced labour, child labour, discrimination, freedom of association, health and safety in the workplace, working conditions, environmental protection, corruption and bribery. The 10 principles of the Global Compact are incorporated into the requirement level in the code of conduct.
Holmen reports annually on sustainability work performed with regard to the Global Compact.
1. Support and respect protection of internationally proclaimed human rights in the sphere that the company is able to influence.2. Make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.3. Uphold the freedom of association and recognise the right to collective bargaining.4. Eliminate all forms of forced labour.5. Eliminate child labour.6. Eliminate discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.
7. Support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges.8. Undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility.9. Encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies.
10. Combat all forms of corruption, including extortion and bribery.
1–5. Holmen only has production in Sweden and the UK, where these matters are regulated by EU legislation. 2014 saw the continued implementation of Holmen's Code of Conduct for suppliers. Responsibility for the code lies with the Group's head of strategic purchasing and the director of environmental and sustainable affairs. The Group's purchasing organisation has received training and the Supplier Code of Conduct is now included in all new supply contracts. The code increases the focus on human rights and working conditions among suppliers, with a view to ensuring good conditions for everyone who works in Holmen's value chain. A risk assessment is performed, with suppliers in high-risk countries subject to stricter requirements on proving their compliance with the principles in the Code of Conduct. The risk assessment is conducted using the Maplecroft tool. In 2015, Holmen launched a Code of Conduct aimed primarily at its own employees. In conjunction with this, Holmen's Supplier Code of Conduct was updated to include self-assessment. Holmen will be focusing resources in areas where the risks are deemed to be greatest.3. EU legislation regulates the issue of freedom of association in union co-operation agreements.6. Holmen applies the EU's anti-discrimination laws, and regularly surveys whether any form of discrimination occurs. A policy of zero tolerance is followed.7. Holmen's operations require environmental permits from authorities, and the requirement for a precautionary approach is therefore met.8. EU legislation is the cornerstone for the environmental conditions set by authorities and these are regularly reviewed. Certified environmental management systems are applied at the mills and in the forestry operations. The forestry operations are also managed in accordance with the standards issued by PEFCTM and FSC®. Energy management systems are in use at all the sites. Certified management systems (OHSAS 18001) for health and safety issues will be obtained at all mill operations in the first half of 2016.9. Environmental activities and technical development in the environmental area are mainly carried out internally but also together with other companies in the industry. The results are usually published. Holmen is open to exchanging experience about environmental issues.10. Holmen's Business ethics policy draws attention to the stringency of legislation on these issues. The policy makes it clear that employees must carefully consider the meaning and purpose of any favours/benefits offered in their contacts with customers and suppliers.
For detailed descriptions of Holmen's work on the 10 principles, see primarily the sections The sustainable work, Holmen in society, Employees and Environment.
The global Compact is based on:
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) draws up principles and standards that governments apply to multinational enterprises so that they engage in business on a responsible basis.
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
The Rio Declaration on the Environment and Development.

Empty, cold night
Scaring me to death...
Whispers in the dark,
Spirits from the depths
Following me, driving me insane!
Murmurs and wails
Maddening me!!
A freak I am in this world of madness!
All my delusions and desires
All my hopes and beliefs
Were ripped from my soul!...
Wake up, lost creature in the night !
Look at the dead water of river ...
Can you see what you are?
A failure.....
I am less than nothing!
I am darker than darkness itself!
I am sorrow and pain!
I am the whistle on the silent cold night...
Lost in this universe
A burden I became!
All this emptiness inside of me,
Burning me slowly!!...
All this loneliness,
This aching heart,
A wounded soul....
Voices in my head
Whispers filling the air...
I am so close to the cliff,
Just waiting for the dawn...
Darkness is by my side,
My only companion,
My only comfort on this empty, cold night !
Murmurs from the depths
Tormenting me, maddening me ..
But I wait...
I wait but no rescue comes !
So blind I am in my pain
So deep is my sadness...
The cliff awaits for my call...
I want to jump with my arms wide open
I want to close my eyes and let myself go
The cliff awaits, yet it's not time to go !!

Beckett has accepted Castle's marriage proposal, but how will that affect the rest of the group on "Castle"? That's the tease Stana Katic gave of some of the troubles facing the couple in a new interview with "Good Morning America."
"I think that [marriage is] a big step for the two of them, of course. They had a lot of that will they/won't they for a long time. Finally they're committed to each other," Katic says. "It will be interesting to see how that trickles down to the rest of the group, because I'm sure everyone has an opinion about weddings and dresses and all that."
In addition to her work on "Castle," Katic also stars in "CBGB" as real-life musician Genya Ravan. That film is due in theaters on Oct. 11, and it turns out Katic has an emotional attachment to the famous nightclub.
"Actually, I did [go to the venue]. I was 17 and I snuck into CBGBs — which is really great information for your morning audience," she says with a laugh.
"Castle" airs Mondays on ABC at 10 p.m. ET.
