A common thread in car commercials is not to display what you, the viewer, actually look like, but what you, the viewer, want to be like. So you are not a pudgy, pasty accountant, sitting on your couch. No. You are a tanned, handsome cowboy, exuding testosterone, who drives a Sting Ray.
In fairness, the 1965 Corvette was a bit of a hairy, muscular beast, with the potential for 425 horses on tap. This was a few years before the "Muscle Car" era peaked as well, so it's not like every teenage kid and their mom had enough power to start earthquakes.
Even still, that's not much of an excuse for using Pernell Roberts, of Bonanza fame, to hawk the 'Vette. Yes, despite the smarminess it's still incredibly awesome, but you can see who Ron Burgundy was channelling when he did the Dodge Durango ads:
It looks like it means business.
And it does.
Is my chest feeling furrier?

Green Ferrari
Maranello, 24 july – Aloe arborescens, blue buddleja , dianthus carthusianorum … we're not talking about a greenhouse. These are just some of the hundreds of species of plants found in the factory in Maranello. It doesn't matter where you are on the campus, whether sitting on a bench during a short break or at work in one of the production departments, a flowering bush, fern or an evergreen is never far away. The colourful orange poppies along the engine assembly line and the exotic, tropical lillies in the machining department are just two examples of the extraordinary array of flora that characterises every part of the factory. There are 25,000 plants on campus, with trees, flower beds and gardens around every corner. This is a further demonstration of how Ferrari's technologically advanced production facilities are designed and built around the workers' well-being, with the emphasis very much on the quality of the working environment.

2013 NAIA Men?s Soccer Players of the Week - No. 4
By: Sam Knehans, Communications & Sports Information Intern
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Luiz Filho of Rio Grande (Ohio) has been named the NAIA Men's Soccer National Offensive Player of the Week and Jordan Farr of Corban (Ore.) has been selected as the NAIA Men's Soccer National Defensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Filho and Farrwere chosen for their performances during the week of Sept. 23 – 29 and were selected out of a pool of conference, independent, and unaffiliated grouping award winners.
Filho, a sophomore forward from San Paulo, Brazil, recorded consecutive hat-tricks in Rio Grande's blowout victories over Bluefield (Va.) and Point Park (Pa.). The hat tricks were the first two of Filho's collegiate career and make him the Red Storm leader in goals (9) and points (19). For the season, Filho also ranks among the NAIA leaders in total game-winning goals (13th, 3), total goals (14th, 9) goals per game (20th, 1), game-winning goals per game (21st, .33), total points (28th, 19) and points per game (39th, 2.11).
Farr, a freshman goaltender from Turner, Ore., notched a pair of shutouts for the Warriors last week. The shutouts—in a 1-0 win over Northwest (Wash.) and a 0-0 tie with Evergreen (Wash.)—extend Farr's shutout streak to four games. The freshman has yet to allow a goal in nearly 500 minutes in net for the Warriors and has helped to lead Corban to its best seven-game start in program history. Farr currently leads the NAIA in goals against per game (0.00) and is one of just two goaltenders who have yet to allow a goal in 2013.

Auguste Rodin: Sculpture "The girl with the Rose on her hat", bronze artedition
One of the earliest Rodin works, with all the charm of youth: "The girl with the rose on her hat - Rose beuret". The sculpture radiates an almost baroque joy of beauty.
Original: Bronze, Musée Rodin, Paris. Appeared 1865th
Polymeric Ars Mundi museum replica, handcast, bronze surface. Height: 52 cm incl. black diabase. Weight: approx. 23 kg.
1840-1917, most important sculptor of the transition period from the 19th to the 20th century.
François-Auguste is considered brilliant innovator of sculpture and is one of the greatest sculptors of all time besides Praxiteles, Canova, Michelangelo and Cellini. His sculptural work is so extensive that to this day still appeared no complete catalogue of his works. He would certainly include several hundred pages.
Rodin studied at the school for applied arts, as he was rejected three times at the Paris School of art. Rodin was an ardent admirer of beauty. The human body captivated him, which he immortalized repeatedly in his "Vérité Fugitive" in the fleeting moment of the moment: lively, vibrant beauty that took shape under his creative hands. Whatever Rodin created with his hands, radiates immense vitality and untamed power.
His sculptures with often fractured surfaces ushered in a new era of sculpture. The genius of Rodin's modern design language, which was expressed with elements of impressionism, left the monument-like pose of academic style and mental constitutions could be alive in the moving surfaces, had to be recognized :"Boldness of light – modesty of the shadow" - Rodin wrote this dialogue of increases and cuts in the 'skin' of his sculptures. Flickering highlights and mysterious shadows animate his characters and make them alive: "Sculpture is the art to represent the forms in the play of light and shadow."
Sculptural representation of person's head and shoulders.
Bronze powder bound by a polymer. By special polishing and patination techniques the surface of the casting gets a look that corresponds to the bronze.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, for bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually it is made of clay or other easily shaped materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Also the contemporary artists, such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz enriched the sculpture with outstanding works.
A replica of ars mundi is a recognizable image of the original.
The style of Impressionism that emerged in French painting in 1870 owes its name to the Claude Monet's landscape 'Impression, Soleil Levant'. After initial refusal it began a true triumphant advance.
Such painters as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Auguste Renoir and others created motifs from everyday life, urban and landscape scenes in a bright, natural light.
Impressionism can be seen as a reaction to the academic painting. The emphasis was not on content with its strict rules of painting structure, but on the object as it appears at any given moment, in an often random cut out. The reality was seen in its whole color variety in natural lighting. The studio painting was replaced by the open-air painting.
The brightening of the palette and the dissolution of firm contours was accompanied by a new way of handling with color. Often, the colors were no longer mixed on the palette but side by side on the canvas so that the final impression lies in the eye of the beholder with a certain distance. In "Pointillism", (with such painters as Georges Seurat or Paul Signac) this principle was carried to the extreme.
Outside France, Impressionism was taken up by such painters as Max Slevogt, Max Liebermann and Lovis Corinth in Germany, and by James A. M. Whistler in the United States.
In sculpture, the impressionism expressed itself only conditionally. In the works of Auguste Rodin, who is considered one of the main representatives, you can see a resolution of the surfaces in which the play of light and shadow is included in the artistic expression. Degas and Renoir created sculptures as well.

My First Glam Bag by ipsy
So I know I'm a little late posting this, I should've got this up last week when I received it, but I wanted to make sure I shared it with you all anyway.
As you can see, I subscribed to another beauty box, widely due to my love/hate relationship with Topbox. I wanted to give ipsy a try and see how the value compared.
"ipsy" was started by Michelle Phan, one of the most widely followed YouTube Beauty Gurus in the world. She has nearly 3 million subscribers to her YouTube channel and currently has over 727 MILLION total video views. So she created ipsy to select and share some of her favourite beauty products for people to try.
If you are living in the US of A, you can subscribe to Ipsy for just $10/month, shipping included. For those of us north of the border in Canada, we have to pay $14.95/month. But given that I currently pay $12.00/month for Topbox, I figured if the value was there, I wouldn't be upset about the extra $3.
My first Glam Bag (January 2013) from ipsy was shipped in bright pink bubble wrap packaging, so it got my attention right away. It was small enough to fit in my small apartment sized mail slot too, so that is always a bonus!
Inside, I found a small black cosmetic bag and a full-size make-up brush.
You get a different cosmetic bag each month with ipsy. I was actually impressed that they took the time to brand them too.
It was amazing how much fit in this little bag. Here are the complete contents of my January ipsy Glam Bag:
SOHO Eyeliner Brush
The first item being the full-size eye liner brush from SOHO with an ergonomic design. This brush has very short, dense bristles and is designed for applying dry or wet eyeliners or can also be used to fill in eyebrows with shadow. It retails for about $5-$8 depending on where you snatch it up.
Bloody Mary Nailtini
The "Tiny Beauty Lounge" features cocktail inspired cosmetics. So they have nail lacquers, eye shadows and lip glosses that are all inspired by your favourite cocktails. You've got to check out their website, its pretty cool! This is a totally new brand for me too, so it is fun being exposed to new things. That is what beauty box subscriptions are all about! This full-size "triple free" nail polish from their line of "Straight up Color Nail Lacquer" retails for $13.00.
Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play
Big Sexy Hair products are available for sale at Canada in salons but in the US I see they are available for sale at Wal-Mart as well. The full-size 10 oz version of this hair spray retails for $33.00, which makes this 1.5 oz sample valued at $4.95.
Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter
Described as "Sparkling, juicy blood orange with notes of red raspberry and spicy sweet Italian mandarins. The scent of Mediterranean beach." This body butter is 100% vegan and cruelty free. It has a very refreshing and fruity scent, but isn't overpowering. The cream itself is thick and rich the way a body butter should be. I see myself getting a lot of use out of this body butter over the remaining winter months. This body butter by Pacifica is available for sale in two sizes, the smallest being the 2.5 oz version I received in my Glam Bag, for $7.00.
Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil
This product is a huge cult favourite in the beauty industry and I was really excited to receive it in my Glam Bag. I've had Argan Oil before, but only ever used it on my hair. This one is promoting multiple uses:
- Daily Moisturizer (apply on clean face)
- Hair Treatment (apply to split ends)
- Body Moisturizer (apply to skin)
- Nail Treatment (apply to cuticles)
- Bath Oil (add to your bath)
I really love the eye dropper applicator too. Whenever I've used Argan oil in the past, it seems to get everywhere, but this dropper is great!
Josie Maran's highly sought after Argan Oil is available for retail in 3 different sizes at Sephora, allowing me to calculate the value of this sample to be about $6.12.
So there it is – my January Glam Bag by ipsy! Total value of $36.07. I paid $14.95 and got a lot of cool items I'm excited to try from brands I've never tried before. I'm especially excited about the Argan Oil by Josie Maran and the Nailtini nail lacquer. The hair spray and body butter are less "exciting" and are mainly just useful additions that will get used regularly until they are gone. 🙂 So I have no doubt I will get my money's worth out of this Glam Bag by ipsy!
ipsy vs. Topbox
Topbox seems to do a better job of customizing their boxes to the individual. The box variety from ipsy is very small (usually just a different color/model of one item, with all other items identical). For this month, I believe the only variation was what type of SOHO makeup brush you received. But, ipsy mainly gears themselves towards makeup, with less skin care offerings. So depending on what type of samples you are wanting to receive, ipsy may be the better choice for you.
Topbox only ships once a month, so if your subscription starts mid month, you will be waiting until the following month to have your Topbox shipped. Whereas ipsy ships at different times of the month. I signed up on January 13th and still received a January glam bag.
On that same vein though, about mid-month ipsy actually shows what was in their glam bags that month directly on their website. So by the time I subscribed, I knew EXACTLY what items I was going to receive (kind of takes the fun out of it). But now of course, February will be a surprise. 🙂 And I can't wait!
ipsy supplies coupons online for each of the items featured in the glam bag, so if you want to go out and buy the full-size products, you shouldn't have to pay full price.
For a packaging stand point, I've always thought the Topbox tubes were really cool, but for me I actually think the ipsy cosmetic cases are going to get more use in my house, than the Topbox tubes will.
And lastly, I wish ipsy featured the item list card with their glam bags. Topbox features an itemized listing of what you received (telling you a little bit about each product and brand) as well as the value of the full size products. I find that very helpful when calculating the total value of my Topbox each month. If I want to do the same with ipsy (like I did above) I have to go on-line and search for each individual product to find the costs first.
Overall, I need a couple more months of ipsy glam bags before I can tell you whether I like them better than Topbox. But so far, they are off to a great start. I love the items I received and I really believe it was worth the $15 this month. So if you live south of the border and only have to pay $10…WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?
And if you are already an ipsy subscriber, I'd love to hear how long you've been a subscriber and what your experience has been like!
Thanks for reading!

Love the scents Pacifica has. They have great tropical smells… The coconut is great.
Fairly certain I've seen the hair spray for purchase in Canada. If I spot it, I'll let ya know where.
February 2, 2013 at 2:34 pm
That argan oil certainly caught my eye! I was so psyched about Pacifica till I actually got the chance to try some of their lotions on my arms when I was in the US (end of 2011). They ALL turned out smelling really funny on me, and I just haven't plucked up enough courage to try again. Maybe my body chemistry just isn't a fan!

A look back: Coaches and heart health scares, heart problems, heart attacks
After yesterday's news of John Fox's hospitalization and plans to undergo aortic valve replacement surgery, the Broncos will be without their coach for the forseeable future. It's hardly the first time a coach has suffered from some kind of heart trouble, though. Here's a look back at some other coaches who've suffered everything from false alarms and minor scares to major heart attacks during games. It's certainly not an exhaustive list — nor is it uplifting — but it puts Fox's ailment in some historical context.
Bo Schembechler, University of Michigan football, 1969, age 40: Schembechler suffered a heart attack the day before the Wolverines played in the 1970 Rose Bowl. He also had quadruple bypass surgery in 1976, another heart attack in 1987, and yet another quadruple bypass surgery after his second heart attack.
Don McCafferty, Detroit Lions, 1974, age 53: McCafferty suffered a heart attack while cutting his grass in July 1974 and passed away after being transported to a nearby hospital.
Lou Saban, University of Miami, 1977, age 55: Saban had double bypass surgery in the summer of 1977 but recovered by the time Miami's season started.

I did not know Mac Thomason, the man behind the essential baseball blog Braves Journal. I did not even know him the way I know so many through the Internet, my e-migos, the people I brush against in emails bursts and Twitter directs and exchanged links. As far as I know, I never exchanged an email with Mac Thomason. All I did was read him from time to time.
We used to live in a world where, if you were this sort of person (and I was), you could let the static-suffused voices of baseball play-by-play announcers pull you out of your own humdrum childhood and into another life. You could sit in a car in your driveway -- an antenna rising from the hood like a conductor's baton -- and turn the dial slowly, let Bob Prince take you to Pittsburgh, hear Ernie Harwell tell you the comical names of the people catching foul balls in the stands of Detroit, let Jack Buck pull you into downtown St. Louis, catch Herb Score saying improbably that once more in Cleveland it was a beautiful day for baseball. In another part of the country you could hear Vin Scully, the master, tell you a story, or Dave Niehaus shout that baseballs in Seattle were flying away.
You can still do this sort of thing, of course, in fact you can do it more effectively than ever -- you don't even need an old Chevy Nova. The radio voices from all over the country come across your iDevice, your Sirius radio, your computer, your phone, and those voices aren't covered in static, and they don't fade away when the wind changes course. This is better, no question.
And, maybe, at the same time, it's also less of an adventure. And I think the point for us car-parked radio explorers was the adventure.
You know what I think is an adventure now? Baseball blogs. Every team's fans have them, of course, there are hundreds and hundreds of them out there, lurking in between error pages, waiting to be found in the midst of the spam and the politics and the family photos and the naked pictures. The blogs are all passionate, every one of them, because who else but a passionate fan would start a baseball blog? But passion is where the similarities end. Some are hopeful and some are angry, some are vicious and some are playful, some are shrewd and some get every detail wrong. Some are astonishingly well written and some use a lot of exclamation points so that you get the point!!!
But the real difference between them is the commitment. Few last. The idea of writing every day about your favorite baseball team fits right into the "sounded good when I started" category. At that start, there might have been a specific and fiery purpose -- get the GM fired, celebrate a favorite player, break down the games in a way that the local paper does not. But that worn-out old line about a season being a Paul Ryan marathon isn't just true for the players and the coaches and the scouts … it's true for the fans, too. You say what you want to say about the awfulness of the GM, and another morning arrives. You talk about how breathtaking it is to watch Torii Hunter chase down a fly ball or to watch Derek Jeter make the jump throw from the hole or to watch Matt Holliday swing the bat, and another morning arrives. You empty your anger, you unload your joy, you drain your creative juices, and another morning arrives.
And so blogs, many of them, crack and wither in the dull Internet light, with a dateline "May 4, 2005," at the end to remind everyone of the moment the author ran out of words.
Mac Thomason began Braves Journal in 1998 -- because, as is written in the touching words written about him, CompuServe offered free web hosting. It was so long ago that "CompuServe" does not clear today's computer spell check. It was right around that time that I actually wrote for a website by CompuServe called "WOW" which was short for "Wow, this idea won't last very long."
Mac's idea for Braves Journal shifted and varied through the years, but it always came from the same place: An undying love for the Atlanta Braves and a defiant intolerance of the stupid things they did. And of course, intertwined in that was a strong feeling about baseball, its rhythms, its myths, its joys, its many annoyances. Today, I go to the site and just read down the categories chart.
There's 400 Not Greatest Braves, which includes the classic "The all-Mac Hates Them Team," with its double play combination of Bret Boone (152 games with Atlanta in 1999, didn't hit, didn't field, 0.0 WAR) and Ozzie Guillen (two part-time seasons at the end of his career).
There's the "44 Greatest Atlanta Braves" and the "64 Worst Atlanta Braves," and yes it's probably telling that there are more of the latter than the former.
There's "History" and "Interviews" and "Putative History" and "Francoeur Sucks."
There's joy … throughout. It isn't always happy joy -- sometimes it's angry joy, sometimes it's sad joy, sometimes it's bitter joy, and that might not make much sense but that's kind of the point. One thing that stands out about writing for me -- whether it's literary fiction or baseball blogs or tweets -- is when it is ecstatic, filled with life. It doesn't matter so much to me it is enraged or goofy or profane or stupid (well, maybe not stupid), but I love it if the person is writing something that so clearly has to be written, something the person cannot keep inside, something that the person would write even if he or she knew that nobody would ever read it. That's the feeling I got from Braves Journal and Mac Thomason. It was obvious to me that the author had something to say, and he was going to say it, and it was up to you if you wanted to read it.
It seems, from the pieces I've been able to piece together about his life, that this was at the heart of Mac Thomason. He went to the University of Alabama, and his day job was as a librarian at a college, and he loved the Atlanta Braves. He was from a family of lawyers, and he wrote a wide-scoping blog that covered matters large and small and utterly unrelated to sports, and he loved the Atlanta Braves. He was an interesting political thinker who refused to be boxed in to a single line of thinking, and one of his favorite themes was that former Braves outfielder Melky Cabrera was fat (how prophetic) and he loved the Atlanta Braves.
And checking in on the site -- to read what Mac and his fellow Braves Journal writers were moaning about, complaining about, celebrating about -- was always for me a little thrill, an opportunity to dive into a world I did not know, to get inside a baseball team I did not follow closely, to understand what was ticking them off that particularly day, to transport myself the way I had as a kid sitting in the front seat of a Chevy Nova and trying to find baseball voices in the dark.
There are many wonderful team baseball blogs out there now; I check in on many of them throughout the year and I would not tell you Braves Journal was the best of them. It was one of the best, certainly, but it wasn't the quality that drew me in. It was the constant energy. It was the hard viewpoints. It was the attitude and the certainty and the daily up-and-down of what it is to be a fan in today's world. And it was the consistency. Braves Journal has lasted for more than a decade, and the writers never ran out of things to say … well, maybe now and again they did, but even if Mac and company did run out of things to say, they kept pressing forward.
Three plus years ago, Thomason was diagnosed with testicular cancer. There were, based on my reading from far away, brief moments of hope, agonizing turns of bad news, a solemn effort to keep fighting. In other words, it was like the cancer fight so many across the country make, the cancer fight that has touched all of our lives in very personal ways. A few days ago, the awful news that Thomason was moved to hospice crisscrossed our little corner of the Internet. On Saturday, he died. He was 41.
Braves Journal will go on … that was one of Thomason's dying wishes. And right away there was a moment. Sunday, the Braves, improbably and absurdly, scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth -- capped by a Chipper Jones three-run home run, no less -- to beat the despised Phillies 8-7. To commemorate this moment, Braves Journal reached back to Mac's thoughts on Chipper's five previous walk-off home runs. My favorite recap is this, when Chipper hit a home run to beat Florida in the 11th:
"Chipper finished with three hits and five RBI. I was starting to get worried about him; he was getting on base but not hitting the ball with any authority. Hopefully, that's over with."
No, it wasn't like screaming "The Giants Win The Pennant" over and over again. But that isn't Braves Journal. That isn't the Internet. This was just a moment of hope for a baseball fan, a moment Mac Thomason allowed us to share, even those of us who did not know him.

A naked man in his 20s who sat on railroad tracks Thursday morning at a Caltrain station in Santa Clara caused brief train delays before being restrained and taken to a hospital, a police spokesman said.
The unclothed man appeared distraught and was unable to identify himself before police officers put restraints on him, covered him and took him to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Santa Clara police Lt. Kurt Clarke said.
Police were not able to find his clothing or any form of identification for him, Clarke said.
"We don't know who he is," Clarke said.
It was too early to determine whether the man, believed to be in his early 20s, would be arrested, Clarke said.
People at the Santa Clara station informed Caltrain about the man sitting on the train tracks at about 8:10 a.m. today, Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn said.
The man's presence prompted delays on three Caltrain northbound and southbound trains, one by four minutes, one by eight minutes and a third by five minutes, Dunn said.
Dunn described it as "a fairly insignificant delay."
The man was on the tracks well before any trains were approaching the station and no emergency stops were necessary, Dunn said.

VIPs wearing PJs in public
If you snooze you lose, or so the saying goes. Especially on PJ Day in Denver when the biggest of the big slip into their jammies for a very good cause.
There's no covering up, either. They wear 'em to lunch at the Capital Grille, to a bed race on the Metro State campus, on a PJ Crawl in three trendy neighborhoods, and to the centerpiece event in this multi-faceted benefit for Denver's Road Home: the Mayor's PJ Party at the Residence Inn at 17th and Champa.
It's a hoot, all right, one that gets better every year.
The 500-plus at the Residence Inn fandango dined on breakfast favorites — things like shrimp and grits from the Corner Office, eggs Benedict from Second Home and pancakes from Snooze — while checking out who was wearing what.
Gov. John Hickenlooper wore the hand-made, red flannel nightshirt that he wore in the event's first year; Mayor Bill Vidal wore a copy of it that Hickenlooper had presented to him at a ceremonial "passing of the PJs" held earlier in the week.
Former Children's Museum chief Tom Downey, a candidate for Denver Clerk and Recorder, was in comfy flannel PJs, as were his daughters: Cate, 9; Ella, 6; and Meg, 3. Deidre Hunter was pretty in pink, listening as her husband, Shawn, who'd just been appointed CEO of the Quizno's Pro Challenge bike race, said race organizers would donate $1 for every start/finish line spectator, up to $250,000, to Denver's Road Home, a partnership between the City and County of Denver and Mile High United Way that began when Hickenlooper was mayor. Its goal is to end homelessness in Denver within 10 years.
In the six years since its start, PJ Day has raised over $2 million, thanks to the enthusiasm and support of such major players as Sage Hospitality's Walter Isenberg and developer Evan Makovsky. They were among the first to embrace the idea and they didn't hesitate to recruit many of their high-powered friends.
John and Carrie Morgridge, for example, couldn't be there, but sent word they'd be giving $250,000 to the cause.
United Way's leader, Christine Benero, also wore a replica of Hickenlooper's night shirt, as did DRH executive director Amber Callender.
Others enjoying the food and the music by Full Stop Funk were the governor's senior policy adviser, Jamie Van Leeuwen; Denver Housing Authority's executive director, Ismael Guerrero; Denver Parks and Recreation chief Kevin Patterson; DaVita chairman Kent Thiry and his wife, Denise O'Leary; PJ Crawl organizer Deidre Toltz and her husband, Michael; Todd Munson of JPMorgan Chase; Brad and Lisa Busse of the Brad Busse Family Foundation; Caz Matthews; Galloway Group VP Antonette DeLauro Smith; United Way board member Debbie Welle-Powell; Donna Evans, CEO of the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce; Larry Holden, a partner at Pure Brand Communications; Scott Binder, regional senior vice president at Comcast; Civic Center Conservancy chief Lindy Eichenbaum Lent and her husband, Jason; Project CURE's Doug Jackson; Maureen McDonald, executive director of the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation; and Anthony Graves, Visit Denver's director of government and community affairs.

McDonald delivers gem, but late rally falls short
Bucs righty gives up one run over seven, takes tough loss against Cubs
PITTSBURGH -- James McDonald's two predominant forces -- positive, PNC Park, and negative, the Cubs -- had a showdown on Thursday and fought to a draw.
Caught in the crossfire, McDonald became a frustrated victim.
McDonald got his turnaround season off to a sensational start, pitching two-hit ball for seven innings Thursday afternoon at PNC Park, where he usually shines, against the Cubs, who usually eclipse him.
His reward, alas, was a 3-2 defeat. So even as his career ERA in PNC Park went down to 2.93, so did his record against the Cubbies, to 0-4.
"Yeah, it's bittersweet," admitted McDonald, who allowed one of those runs in his seven innings. "At the end of the day, you're biting your tongue, saying, 'Man, we came that close.' We had 'em in the ninth."
They had a little more ground to cover in the bottom of the ninth after Nate Schierholtz had expanded the Cubs' lead with a two-run homer off Jared Hughes in the top of the inning.
The Bucs couldn't quite finish off a furious ninth-inning comeback against Cubs closer Carlos Marmol.
Trailing, 3-0, Starling Marte singled to lead off against Marmol for Pittsburgh's second hit of the game. Marmol, who was pulled in the ninth on Monday, then walked Russell Martin. Andrew McCutchen hit an RBI single to make it 3-1 and prompt a visit from pitching coach Chris Bosio. Gaby Sanchez then singled to right, driving in Martin. One out later, Neil Walker hit into a game-ending double play.
"Their closer has been struggling," Martin said, "as he's known to when things get a little tough around him. We were one good swing from taking that game away."
So McDonald picked the wrong way to take after his clubhouse mentor, A.J. Burnett: Sharing his run deficiency.
Having a lot to do with that, obviously, was Travis Wood. The Chicago lefty allowed only one hit -- a third-inning double by Clint Barmes -- in six innings, walking two and fanning four.
Burnett had departed Monday's Opening Day game trailing, 3-0, and the Pirates have tallied a total of 12 runs in his 11 losses since he joined the team. Now here was McDonald, lights-out against a team he has never beaten, with an incoming career ERA of 5.71 against them, and getting nothing in return but sympathy.
"The Cubs, I've always had a problem with," McDonald acknowledged. "So, from that standpoint, I was happy. I just went straight at them, and it worked out."
A primary preseason focus of the right-hander was refining his repertoire by varying the speeds of his existing pitches, to mess with batters' timing. McDonald calls the ability to do that "a weapon," and he brandished it Thursday. His pitches spanned from 72-91 mph, nearly the 20-mph gap that manager Clint Hurdle, discussing the same knack of Cubs Opening Day starter Jeff Samardzija, had termed "a challenge offensively to cover."
"J-Mac was very, very, very good today. I'm happy for him individually. He was able to go out and do what we believed he was able to do," said Hurdle.
Given the long baseball season rife with consequences, did this type of loss perhaps come with even more encouragement than would've, say, a 10-8 win for a shaky McDonald?
"In the big picture, you want your team to win," Hurdle smiled. "But if you can't win ... for James McDonald to go out and pitch seven innings like that, allow one run -- we couldn't have hoped for much more."
The Cubs essentially knocked McDonald out of the rotation last season, sealing his second-half downfall by chasing him in the fourth inning of a Sept. 14 start that became his last of the season.
This time, he finished off a pretty decent relay among the Pirates' top three starters: Wandy Rodriguez, Burnett and McDonald threw 19 1/3 collective innings against the Cubs, allowing 10 hits and six runs (2.79 ERA), with four walks and 20 strikeouts.
"Our arms are there, we're solid," Martin said. "Once our offense gets rolling, we're going to be tough to beat."
Thursday, the Cubbies had to make the most of the least, netting a run out of their only hits off McDonald. Wood himself started it with a one-out single in the third, and he advanced on David DeJesus' grounder before scoring on another single by Starlin Castro.
Then McDonald put his foot down. He retired 13 of the last 14 men he faced, the only interruption being a seventh-inning walk to Schierholtz, one of two issued by McDonald, who struck out four.
But he was already down, 1-0, and would not get back up.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Four different players scored
goals and Troy Grosenick stopped 37 of 39 shots as Union beat No.
9/10 Yale 4-2 at the Achilles Center.
The Blue (13-8-3, 9-7-1 ECAC) had an early lead but surrendered three straight and could not rally in the third. Senior Nick Maricic, making his third straight start in the Yale net, had 21 saves over the first 31 minutes before being pulled.
Grosenick allowed a pair of Yale power-play goals, but seemed to be killing off penalties all night with eight chances overall.
Union, 1-for-5 on the advantage, moved into fourth place, just a point behind Yale and RPI (19 points), which square off Saturday night at Houston Field House in Troy. None of the three have a shot at a regular season championship because Quinnipiac clinched first place despite falling to St. Lawrence, 2-1, at Hamden.
Antoine Laganiere did not get a point on the game's first goal, with 2:24 left in the first, but Yale's senior forward deserved an assist. His burst down the right side caused a Dutchmen defender to hold him on the way to the net and draw a penalty that led to Yale taking a 1-0 lead into intermission. The Bulldogs saved a few clearing attempts on the third of four advantages in the opening frame, and blueliner Tommy Fallen got the biggest one. He picked off a Matt Hatch clear near the top of the left circle and then fired a wrister into the upper right corner of the net for his fifth of the season.
The defending ECAC champions and 2012 Frozen Four participant came back with a pair of goals in the second to take a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes.
While killing off a penalty, Union forward Max Novak's backhander went short side at 8:25. A little more than four minutes later, Hatch sent a shot from behind the goal line extended that bounced off something and zipped in the net on the near side.
The Bulldogs, playing without injured starting goalie Jeff Malcolm for the third straight game, decided to make a change in net shortly after, and sophomore Connor Wilson (17 saves) got a warm-up in the form of immediate shots and a two-man Union advantage. Yale's first North Carolinian hockey player was tested right away and made three huge saves down two skaters including an acrobatic move as the last seconds of the frame evaporated off the clock.
Wayne Simpson took advantage of what was left on the 5-on-3 in the third period by jumping all over a juicy rebound in the left circle and hitting an open side of the net just 31 seconds in to make it 3-1. Daniel Carr put the finishing touches on the win by adding a tally off a faceoff midway through the period.
The Elis cut the lead in half with 8:51 left and four visitors whacking away at a loose puck around the crease on a power play. Andrew Miller was the last to get his stick on the puck and send it under Grosenick for his 11th goal of the year.
There were more chances to cut into the lead as Union continued to take penalties down the stretch, but they were bailed out by the 2011-12 Hobey Baker finalist between the pipes and an excellent penalty-kill. The visitors pulled Wilson with 1:10 left for the extra skater and already on a power play, but Grosenick turned aside two or three quality shots.

"We moved into our apartment a few years ago, and once we finally got around to decorating, I felt like our existing bedding didn't exactly fit the style and palette of the new space," says Davis. "I love nothing more than beautiful, luxurious, white sheets, but at the same time I didn't want something too basic or boring."
Davis chose the Langdon duvet with a Vintage Silver border. "The silver serves as a good accent color, while still functioning as a neutral. And the metallic color and sateen finish makes them look and feel glamorous."

"It was nice to bring out that subtle hint of color in the banding through the silver accessories on the bedside table," says Davis. "Plus, the overall sheen of the bedding compliments the metallic wallpaper in the background."

The Mobile Nations team just hit the new iPad launch in South Beach and we made quite a splash. With new Retina displays in hand (procured at WalMart) at midnight, we arrived with iMore T shirts and had a blast.
Mobile Nations hits Miami
The party started for us at midnight at the local WalMart in Miami. Five of the Mobile Nations team including @crackberry kevin and @teamvisor arrived at WalMart at about 11 PM and found ourselves about 20 people back in line. Just as advertised, new iPads were brought out at 12:01 AM. Kevin procured a 64 GB White, Marcus – a 32 GB 4G on AT&T, Tom got a 16 GB White and I got a 32 GB Black.
We grabbed about four hours of sleep and then thought it might be entertaining to unbox our retina displays for all to see….in front of the Apple store in South Beach. The Queue was a couple hundred people deep of eager iPad enthusiasts.
Mobile Nations gets TV "FaceTime"
On our way in, Kevin and I were stopped by the local NBC affiliate and interviewed with our new iPads in hand. Kevin was then snagged by CNN (we will post links to all interviews as we receive them.)
Then we fired up the crowd and handed out the smashing and stylish iMore T's. We asked who the iMore readers were and they got the first batch. Then, suddenly everyone in line "remembered" that they were iMore enthusiasts and clamored for the T-shirts.
iMore T-Shirts given out to the crowd
With the T-shirts gone, we watched the mayhem that is an Apple launch. The iOS faithful emerged with smiling faces, lighter wallets and shiny new hardware to show off.
Our NBC interviewer then realized that he was in the presence of greatness and fame in the person of CrackBerry Kevin. He gushed about the endless hours he spent on CrackBerry.com and wanted to hear all about Mobile Nations and iMore.
All in all, it was a great outing. If you are in Miami, look for the iMore T-shirts on display and watch NBC and CNN and look for us. Now, we are busily restoring iCloud backups and setting up our new, beautiful iPads. Lots more to come!
Stay tuned to iMore.com and keep watching the forums.

WILLIAMSBURG — When Cristie Kerr's eagle putt at the 15th hole Sunday burned the left edge, her dad cringed.
"She's giving me heart attacks," Michael Kerr said as he stood greenside.
Plenty more palpitations awaited during another harrowing final round of the LPGA Tour's Kingsmill Championship.
That tension, combined with the walking limitations of two artificial knees, sent Michael to the clubhouse bar to watch his daughter duel Suzann Pettersen in a two-hole, sudden-death playoff.
But when Cristie tapped in a par putt on the 18th hole to secure her third Kingsmill victory, Michael was soon there to greet her. Good thing, too.
"Where's my dad?" Kerr sobbed as she hugged Tour colleagues Morgan Pressel and Irene Cho on the green.
Michael traveled with Cristie in 1997 and '98, her first two years on the circuit — "not the most exciting time of her life," he joked — but the two don't see one another as much these days.
The world's 12th-ranked player, Cristie is busy with her career. A Vietnam veteran and retired teacher, Michael lives in Florida with his second wife.
Michael had never seen Cristie win a LPGA tournament, and their most recent encounter before this week was in November at the Tour event in Naples, Fla.
"Cristie wanted me here," Michael said. "She said, 'Dad, I haven't seen you in a while. I love the golf course and the people I stay with [Kingsmill residents Jim and Linda Whittaker]. You might be good luck.'"
So there he was throughout the week following Cristie in a motorized scooter, standing occasionally for a better view.
What a show he witnessed Sunday at a tournament that last year produced a nine-hole, two-day playoff between Jiyai Shin and Paula Creamer.
Chasing her 16th career victory, Kerr began the round with a two-shot lead over Pettersen, a former Kingsmill champion and the world's No. 5 player, and world No. 2 Stacy Lewis. But other formidable challenges emerged.
Inbee Park, a three-time winner this season and the freshly minted No. 1, birdied four of the first seven holes to draw within a shot. Ariya Jutanugarn, a 17-year-old from Thailand, used her extraterrestrial length off the tee to birdie holes 13-16, also moving to within a shot.
Now Michael Kerr is no stranger to nerves. You don't watch buddies die in the jungles of Southeast Asia or teach fifth and sixth graders without a jagged edge or three.
"Out of the 250 men in his company, I think 50 or 60 died the first year in Vietnam," Cristie said, "so I'm lucky to be here at all."
But these nerves were different for Michael. That was his little girl on the course.
"My daughter's been scrambling all day long," he said as we stood at 15. "She's made so many (tough) par putts."
Indeed, Kerr was golden from 10 feet and in, strutting confidently toward the cup after each, until the first playoff hole, when she missed a 6-footer for birdie after a brilliant 5-iron approach that she called her best shot of the afternoon.
So why the worst putt of the round at the absolute worst possible time?
"Well, I tried not to let it bother me or get in my head or put extra pressure on myself," Kerr said of never having won in front of her dad. "I thought about it a little bit more … before I hit that first putt … and I got a little emotional. Maybe that's why I pushed it and didn't make it. …
"Emotions are good, though. We need emotions to play good."
Pettersen nearly won on the final hole of regulation, just missing a 20-footer for birdie — oh, to have seen Michael's reaction in the bar. But she nuked her approach over the green on the second playoff hole and failed to get up-and-down, her lone bogey of the day.
That left Kerr to make a routine par and celebrate with her dad.
"I think we just kind of cried and we were just really happy," Cristie said. "It's not only my day today, but it's his day. … This is a dream come true for both of us."
Kerr lost the lead Sunday when she bogeyed the par-4 14th and playing partner Pettersen — they are cordial at best and not above gamesmanship — birdied. Trailing for first time all afternoon, Kerr birdied the par-4 16th to force the playoff.
"I wasn't going to lose," she said, "not today, not with my dad here."

Josiah Chambers (born in 1820) inherited from his father Josias 6000 acres a few miles south of Alexandria, the town laid out by Alexander Fulton. The Chambers' Oakland Plantation is where the campus of LSU Alexandria stands today. Josiah and Frances Williams Chambers expanded their inheritance by 4000 acres.
By the time of the Civil War, Josiah Chambers was the fourth largest planter in Rapides Parish. In 1860, there were at least 336 slaves on the Oakland Plantation, producing cotton, sugar caneand corn, sweet and Irish potatoes. The Chambers family also owned mules, horses, oxen, sheep, and pigs. After the Civil War, Chambers had to sell 5,000 of his 10,000 acres in order to avoid bankruptcy.
Oakland remained a working plantation until February 1942 when it was purchased by the federal government for a military base. Later, focusing its military at England Air Base instead, the federal government, in 1946, sold the former Oakland Plantation land to the State of Louisiana. The property was then turned over by the state to the LSU Board of Supervisors to establish an agricultural school; agricultural research continues to this day at the Dean Lee Research and Extension Station. The 200-acre LSUA campus is surrounded by land operated by the LSU Ag-Center.
There is evidence that a location near Coughlin Hall was the site of the plantation's Big House and that the James C. Bolton Library was the site of the plantation store. An Oakland Plantation underground cistern was discovered under Parking Lot 1. Slave residences were located on either side of what is now Grady Britt Drive, where the Science Building and the Fitness Center are now located. Historical records indicate that a military engagement occurred on May 2, 1864,between the Union and Confederate armies near the Oakland Plantation slave houses, located along what is now Grady Britt Drive.
One of the two original buildings on campus, named for the second dean (now Chancellor's position) of LSUA, Dr. Morris N. Abrams, who served from 1962-75. Most administrative offices are in this building.
Completed in 1979, and named for Frank Hugh Coughlin, an engineer and vice president of Louisiana Ice and Electric in 1938, who became CLECO's (Central Louisiana Electric Co-Op's) second president, a post he held for two decades, 1946-66. Hugh Coughlin was a strong supporter of LSUA and of nursing education, and that program as well as Allied Health, Institutional Advancement, and the LSUA Foundation have offices in Coughlin Hall.
Avoyelles Hall (named after a neighboring parish, which was named after the Avoyl Indian tribe) was one of the original buildings built and used by the Dean Lee Agricultural Station. Avoyelles Hall housed the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) offices when it was offered on campus. Currently, some Education courses are offered here. The LSUA golf course office and Subway Restaurant share space in Avoyelles Hall.
Once called the "Activities Building," Chambers Hall housed the campus bookstore, cafeteria, and the admissions and registration offices. Chambers Hall was named for the Chambers family who owned Oakland Plantation. The site of the building was likely that of the plantation slaughterhouse. Today, all Business Administration offices and courses are in Chambers.
Named for the Oakland Plantation, Oakland Hall was constructed and named in 1961. Oakland was the first building constructed in Louisiana using the "Lift Slab Post Tension" technology. The building no longer serves the campus community.
Named for James C. Bolton, a Central Louisiana banker, and early supporter and proponent of LSUA; Mr. Bolton was a dedicated fundraiser for the Library. Construction began in 1963 and was completed in 1964. The LSUA Writing Center, Eloise Mulder Center for Teaching and Learning, and University Archives share office space in the Library.
Construction began in 1962 and was completed in 1964, with a total renovation undertaken in 2004. Biology, physics, and chemistry courses are taught in this building.
Construction began in 1965 and the building was dedicated in 1966; a complete renovation occurred in 2008. The Student Center houses the Magnolia Café, Student Government offices, and conference rooms. Its west wing houses the University Art Gallery, Student Advising and Support Services, Follett's Bookstore, and the campus Testing Center.
Named for and dedicated to Dr. Barbara Brumfield Caffey, a Professor of English (1963-1992), the campus ballroom, and conference rooms are here.
Designed as a health and physical education facility, the building was completed in 1967; today it houses the LSUA Generals athletic programs, the indoor swimming pool, basketball court, classrooms, lockers, and athletic workout facilities.
Completed in 2011, the 72,000 square foot building is dedicated to multipurpose academic activities; the building includes a wide variety of classrooms, faculty offices, conference rooms, a digital media laboratory, an art and painting studio, photography studios and labs (digital and traditional), a pottery and kiln studio, 175-seat black box theatre, choral practice studio, and ensemble and personal voice practice facilities. The Arts, English, and Humanities, Behavioral and Social Sciences, and Mathematics and Applied Physical Sciences have faculty and department offices in the MPAC.
Begun in 2006 and completed in 2007, The Oaks has 256 beds in one-, two-, and four-bedroom apartments, with kitchens and a common living area. The Oaks also has a common recreation room, a swimming pool, laundry facilities, and a computer lab.
Constructed in 1852 for the Edwin Epps' family, this single story Creole cottage was originally located on Bayou Boeuf near Holmesville in Avoyelles Parish. Relocated to Bunkie, LA in 1976, the house was moved to the LSUA campus in 1999 and reconstructed, thanks to the effort of Dr. Sue Eakin, a former LSUA Professor of History.
Formerly an overseer for Oakland Plantation, where LSUA stands today, Epps established himself as a planter and slave owner. Epps bought Solomon Northup in 1843 and owned him for ten years. Northup helped build the house. Master Epps was informed inside this house that Northup was a kidnapped free man who would return to his family in Glens Falls, New York. Northup tells of his experiences in his 1853 book, Twelve Years a Slave, which inspired a 1984 documentary, Solomon Northup's Odyssey, and a 2013 movie Twelve Years a Slave.
The $1.2 million technology center opened in 2004 as a joint venture of LSUA, the Rapides Parish Police Jury, the Workforce Investment Board, the Rapides Finance Authority and the Louisiana Division of Administration. The building is named for Weldon A. "Bo" Nipper, whose career at the LSU Ag-Center spanned from September 1948 until his retirement in August of 1984. He was named the agricultural coordinator for LSU Alexandria in 1960 and later named professor and resident director of the Dean Lee Research Station. LSUA's Information and Educational Technology Services are housed in the Nipper Building.
Constructed and opened in 1999, the Center serves the children of LSUA students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The Center is one of approximately 100 centers in the state to have earned a rating of four out of five stars. It is the only center in Rapides Parish with a four-star rating; no center in the Parish has a five-star rating.
Dedicated in 2005 to Howard and Eloise Mulder, owners and operators of Ashton Plantation at Lecompte, Louisiana. The Mulders were charter members of the LSUA Foundation, and longtime supporters of LSUA.
Dedicated in 2006 to Roy O. (II) and his wife, Vinita Martin. Roy Martin was a charter member of the LSUA Foundation and was chairman of LSU Alexandria's first fundraising campaign. He was avid supporter of the nursing program at LSUA while Vinita Martin's interests have been the business degree program and the Children's Center.
Dedicated in 2007 to Mr. William Cotton, Sr, co-founder of Cotton Brothers Baking Company. Mr. Cotton was a continuous and dedicated supporter of LSUA. He was instrumental in persuading Louisiana governors that Central Louisiana deserved to have an institution of higher education, well past his one hundredth year.
Dedicated in 2007 to Dr. Martin Woodin who served as the first Chancellor of LSUA in 1960-1962. Dr. Woodin later was President of the LSU System from 1972-1985.
Dedicated to Dr. Robert Cavanaugh in 2007 on the occasion of his retirement as Chancellor of LSUA. Dr. Cavanaugh served LSUA for 38 years including his last thirteen years as Chancellor, from 1994-2007. Dr. Cavanaugh spearheaded the effort to transform LSUA to baccalaureate status.
Dedicated in 2009 to Mr. Charles S. "Charlie" Weems, III. A local attorney, Mr. Weems served on the LSU Board of Supervisors for 17 years (1991-2008) and was key in securing baccalaureate status for LSUA in 2001.
Named in 2000 for Mrs. Thelma Ethridge, former administrative assistant in the Office of Student Affairs, the street was formerly South Campus Avenue. The Children's Center is on Thelma Ethridge Drive.
Named in 1988 for Dr. Grady Britt, former Professor of Biology from 1962-1982; the Science Building, Coughlin Hall and MPAC are on Grady Britt Drive.
Named for General Troy H. Middleton, president of the LSU System in 1960 when LSUA was founded and Colonel William R. Middleton, a Professor of Geography and faculty member when LSUA opened in 1960. Middleton Drive passes Abrams Hall.
Named in 2002 for Professor Gary Tisdale, who served as the Assistant Head of the Division of Liberal Arts and as Associate Professor of History for more than 30 years. Professor Tisdale was instrumental in the formation of the LSUA Faculty Senate and served as its president for two years. Tisdale Drive passes in front of Chambers Hall
Named in 2004 for James Gregg Marshall, who was appointed instructor at LSU in 1948 and joined the Dean Lee Agricultural Center in 1955. Marshall served the Research Center and LSUA as a Professor of Agronomy for 39 years. Marshall Drive passes along the side of The Oaks Apartments.
Formerly known as Central Campus Avenue, the street was renamed for Professor Jerry Myrick in 2000. Professor Myrick served LSUA for 30 years (1967-1997), was active in both campus and community affairs, and was the founder of the Children's Academic Programs (CAPS) in 1985.
Formerly known as East Campus Drive, the street was renamed for Professor Tom Bowman in 2000. Bowman served LSUA for 24 years (1962-1986) as Professor of Foreign Languages. He was the first president of the LSUA Faculty Senate.
The LSUA Generals' Baseball and Softball teams, known as the LSUA Generals, earned the name from the significant history of Central Louisiana in the early years of World War II.
In 1940 and 1941, this region was selected to host the Louisiana Maneuvers in which the United States' entry into the European Theater of World War II was planned.
Omar Bradley, Mark Clark, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Walter Krueger, Ben Lear, Lesley J. McNair and George Patton were among the officers who lived in Alexandria while leading these maneuvers and planning strategy. These men were or would become United States General Officers. Their legacy is what LSUA celebrates in its athletic program.

We are ready to move onto the Era of Gold, but are unsure about some of the rule changes in the theme game regarding the draw stacks.
From the manual:
4: Choosing the Starting Cards. You don't draw your starting cards randomly from a stack like you've done in the Introductory Game. Instead, beginning with the starting player, each player chooses a Basic Set draw stack and selects 3 cards for a starting hand. You may not change the order of the draw stack."
Does this mean, each user selects a stack, looks at all the cards in the stack and selects the 3 they want start with? And then returns the stack without reshuffling?
How do the Theme Set draw stacks work? There is nothing in the manual about how players draw from them. Do players have the option of drawing from them after their first turn?

A digital detox vacation is one where you can't get cellphone, satellite or internet service of any kind. Ok, I might've just sent you into a panic attack with this thought – so take a deep breath, and then consider what a refreshing thing it would be to really disconnect for a few days.
Finding a spot without digital services is actually a challenge these days. Seems everywhere you can connect now – even on cruise ships you can pay to use their computers to get your fix. Last time I was in Yosemite I couldn't get cell phone service. That was nice. So now I look for places to go that offer a calming environment, force my own digital rehab by leaving my electronics at home, and book at a hotel or lodge with no TV (or I unplug the TV when I arrive).
Where to stay
About an hour east of San Diego in the Cuyamaca Mountains is Julian, a place that has all the right components for a digital detox: charming small town, unspoiled outdoors, quaint shops and a variety of restaurants to experience. We went on a very busy weekend – busy for Julian at least – and most hotels were already booked. So we splurged and stayed at Orchard Hill Country Inn, perfect for a quiet romantic weekend away. My friend Terry, a Julian local, recommended it as the top choice.
"Make sure you book for dinner which is served only on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. You won't be disappointed."
The dining area has floor-to-ceiling windows so you can look out at the beautiful countryside from your table. You choose from only a couple of daily selections and dine with only a couple of guests. Dinner lived up to the high expectations, and it was our transition into the slower life. Lodge and cottage rooms $195-$450.
The staff here gets the concept that it's the little thoughtful things you do that make a difference (just like in a relationship). They made us feel special by asking our names when we made the reservation, and then calling us by name throughout our stay. We loved the cookies and chocolates in our room, the fireplace, big tub, and soft comfortable robes. I really don't remember if our room had a TV, and if it did it did not get turned on. The Orchard Hill is tucked away in the woods, and this trip we didn't make time for a hike around the area, but will definitely do that next time.
Other recommended hotels in the area by the locals are the Julian Gold Rush Hotel (historic hotel right in the middle of main street), Eagles Nest Winery and B&B, the Julian Lodge, and Pine Hills Lodge and Dinner Theater. Check out julianca.com for a list of lodging options.
What to eat, drink and do
We made our way into town and walked up and down main street, which you can do at a leisurely pace, all in one afternoon. If you are there in the fall, the Julian Triangle Club has a melodrama production, so be sure to get tickets for this. It turns out that Julian has an especially good group of actors and support for the arts. In May the town hosts a film festival featuring the best in environmental films – the Julian Wild and Scenic Film Festival.
In August you can go to the Julian Starfest to hear presentation on astronomy, stargazing and light pollution, and partake in a free stargazing event put on by local astronomers donating their time and telescopes. Many people who come out for the Julian Starfest camp right at the event site, which also has a winery nearby.
At the Menghini Winery you feel like you're at a friend's farmhouse rather than a commercial winery. It has an apple orchard surrounding the six-acre vineyard, and they produce 4,000 cases of wine each year. We also attended an event at the Blue Door Winery, a boutique winery, which we loved. Blue Door has welcoming, easygoing staff and good wines.
Jeremy's on the Hill is the fine dining establishment in Julian with an extensive menu and wine list. Chef Jeremy Manley, a Cordon Bleu graduate, changes the menu frequently to incorporate local organically grown produce. While there are steak, chicken and fish choices, Jeremy also has delicious vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free menu options ($13-44 for dinner entrees).
There are many ways to taste an apple, and while you may think Julian is most famous for its apple pies, the Julian hard cider folks will tell you a different story. It's "American to the core" and in my opinion a must-do is a tasting of hard cider. Julian Hard Cider is made from fresh, hand-picked apples and uses a 1670 Colonial American hard cider recipe. Cherry-Bomb is my favorite.
After picking up a few fresh Julian apple pies on Main Street to bring home, we went next door to Bailey's BBQ where I had one of the best pulled pork sandwiches ever and a Julian Brewing Company homecrafted brew. Another highly recommended restaurant by the locals is Soups and Such Café, where you should be prepared to wait for a table on the weekends and lunchtime but it will be well worth it!
There are many little shops and art galleries to explore all along Julian's Main Street. We also loved the Candy Basket where they have favorite candies from our childhood (Neccos!) and over 100 nostalgic sodas. The Julian Cider Mill is a family-owned and -operated business that's been around for 30 years. During apple season (September–December) you might catch them pressing the cider. We also spent a good amount of time at Wynola Farms Marketplace on the edge of town on Highway 78, where they have antiques, hard cider tastings, a coffee shop, and live music on Sundays.
So I didn't miss my phones (yes I have two), iPad or laptop during the entire three days in Julian. I figured if there was an emergency with the kids or Earth was being taken over by aliens, someone would figure out how to get in touch with the hotel, and they would figure out how to find us.
Turns out when we returned home the world was just as we left it, except that we were relaxed, refreshed, and ready to get plugged in again.

Robert, it's a really really hard thing to do these days, unless it's forced due to do service available, then it takes people a while to adjust to no connection. This happened to me in Yosemite, and my family loved it! They are always on me about using my phones. Amazing conversations and interaction happen when cell phones are not connected or allowed. Let's meet for dinner but cell phones must stay in the car so when they go reach for them they aren't there.
I've heard of some restaurants that take your cell phones at the door and would LOVE to hear about that if anyone knows of one? This might turn some diners away, but I'm guessing most who go, know this rule and might be there because of this rule.
