*Rewriten as of 7-01-12
See what did I tell, a fast update for all my lovely reads. :) It would have been a lot faster except I've been having problems with formatting characters lately, *sighs*. At least its up now right? I had originally planned for the wedding to be one long chapter but seeing how long it was getting, that easily could have been over 8,000 words, probably more. As it is its the longest chapter to date for TM which I'm very proud of. Instead I decided to split it up, part one will be the wedding it self, part two the reception. Enjoy, and I'll see you at the bottom!
I had just Apparated right in front of Malfoy Manor, and I was running so late. See, I should have been here twenty minuets ago, to get the lay of the land as it were, before the ceremony starts. It was one of those very lovely mornings where anything that could go wrong did. Starting with my alarm clock deciding to just not go off when it should have, bloody thing is now in several piece on my bedroom floor I am happy to report, resulting in my waking up over an hour later than I should have. Thank Merlin for magic, or there is no way I could ever have gotten ready so fast. I even managed to eat a granola bar while I was dashing down the stairs of my building. Now that's what I call successful multitasking. Wouldn't you?
Finally getting my shoe on right, ( turns out in my rush earlier I somehow buckled the bloody thing backwards ), I starting running up the long drive which leads to the very massive Malfoy Manor.
I've only ever seen pictures in The Daily Prophet or Most Prestigious Magical Homes, before, and I gotta say, it's quite the sight to behold. Beautiful gardens are all around filled with exotic plants gently blowing in the late morning breeze, fountains in the distance bubbling away, and the house itself, ( thought that's hardly the right word to describe it ) is three stories tall in the middle with each wing have at least one more. To simply put it, aside from Buckingham Palace, this is the most impressive place I've seen.
Weaving in and out of wedding guests, noticing I know a few as I do, I quickly make my way up the front steps and in the huge double doors which are open wide welcoming quests into its grandness. Right in the middle of the foyer talking to couple of Aurors is Harry Potter, wearing a very smashing set of emerald green dress robes. Now the reason I feel I should point them out is because over the past few years dress robes have changed, a lot. You'll probably thinking along the lines of the Hogwarts Yule Ball right? Well you'd be dead wrong, now dress robes are much more muggle, something I like an extraordinary amount. The jackets are longer than regular muggle suit jackets, and the whole thing just looks very.........wizardy, but in a more conservative way. If that makes any sense at all.
"I am so sorry I'm late Mr. Potter." I breath out the second he looks my way before I've even stopped walking.
"Don't worry about it Elizabeth," He waves off, walking the remainder feet between us. "The wedding party is running late, not that I'm surprised, so you are actually right on time. And one more thing," He adds as I breathe a sign of relief. "Call me Harry, at least out of the office, all this 'Mr Potter' stuff is starting to make me feel old." He finishes speaking with one of his famous Harry grins, and I can't help but grin back.
"Of course, Harry." I say still grinning, before I ask. "So where are we with everything, do I need to know anything else? Anymore hidden rooms we'll need to worry about."
"I don't think so, at least I hope." Harry says with a nervous chuckle, starting to walk to his left towards a grand staircase that stands across from two solid oak door which are decorated with white roses draped over it. Both doors are closed, but I can hear a few noises, like clattering silverware and chairs being moved.
"The dinner and reception are going to take place in there," Harry stated pointed to the doors. "The amin ballroom. Neville, Fennel and I already did a security sweep, and set up a ton of super sensory spells thats will alert us if anything more than a simple charm is performed."
"Sounds good." I comment waiting for him to go on.
"We have Aurors set around the perimeter of the house and throughout the gardens," Harry paused to point out a far window where I could just make out rows and rows of chairs. "That's where the ceremony is going to be, and that is where you, Fennel, Neville, and I, along with a few others are going to be. Basically wherever the wedding party goes, we go."
"Blend in and keep our eyes open." I said, quoting the number one rule of working security.
"Exactly." Harry grinned. "Between you and me though, I don't think anything dark and dangerous is going to happen. Unless you count two pureblood family uniting."
I can't help but laughing in agreement. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against pureblood's ( except those who continue to hate muggleborns, which luckily most of the Malfoy's and Greengrass's don't anymore ) but you to agree all those inner marriages have make some of them a bit loopy.
From somewhere above I hear a door slam loudly causing both Harry and I to look up. Then a second later another door, or perhaps the same one, slams again but this time its accompanied by voices and foot steps which sound like they're starting the make their was down the stairs. And it turns out I was right.
"If you think I'm going to be the one to explain to Astoria why you're late to you're own wedding, which happens to be in you're own bloody house, you, my friend are nuts."
"You truly are a great Best Man, you know that Blaise."
"Anything for my best mate."
They were about halfway down the stairs before either of them noticed Harry and I standing at the bottom casually looking up.
Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini.
It's been a while since I've seen them both in person, probably the Christmas party at the Ministry last year. Malfoy looked the same as he always did, blonde hair hanging loosely over his stormy grey eyes. Now Zabini on the other hand, I couldn't quite place it but somehow he wasn't as I remembered. Not that ever paid much attention to him, either during school or after. Seeing his picture in the society section of the Prophet doesn't really count. And at Hogwarts....well he was a year older than me and in Slytherin. That says it all huh? But I do remember hearing the girls talk about how desirable he was, second only to Malfoy.
"Ah Potter. Just the person I want to see." Malfoy said as he and Zabini walked towards us.
Oh, and in case you were wondering what they happened to be wearing on this rather festive day, not that you'd ever guess, I'll tell you. Tuxedoes. Still very wizard looking, but see what I mean about the muggle influence? And I have to say, they both look dame hot. Very James Bond-ish.
"Never thought I'd live to hear that." I hear Harry mutter to himself before smiling and extending a hand to Malfoy who shook it happily. "What can I do for you Malfoy?"
"I wanted to make sure everything was ready, on your end." Malfoy answered shoving one hand into his pocket.
"Don't worry Malfoy, you're wedding will go off without a hitch." Harry replied with full confidence. Then the two of them began to walk across the foyer deep in conversation.
"So, are you one of the Aurors, or Potter's date?" Zabini asked causing me to jump slightly because I hadn't notice him next to me.
"Auror." I answered. "Harry has a wife. But I'm going to go out on a crazy limb here, and say you already knew that."
"Who in the wide wizarding world does not." He replied with a beyond charming smile that made my heart beat a little bit faster. "I just wanted to hear you'd say. I'm Blaise Zabini." He offered his hand in introduction and I took it.
"Elizabeth English." I said shaking hands lightly, though the grip he had on mine was firm, yet not in an overbearing way.
Looking directly into his eyes for the first time I felt a draw that I just can't explain, They were the most vibrant blue I had ever seen, like the Caribbean sea, so deep and full of life you want to keep looking, wondering what you might see under the surface.
Suddenly snapping back to reality I slowly pulled my hand back and adjusted my wrap that had fallen from my shoulders.
"Pleased to meet you Miss English." Zabini said after a few seconds of silence, in which I noticed him discreetly raking his eyes over me. "I'm afraid I have to go find the groom, see to it that he makes it to the alter on time and all that. But I hope to see you later."
"You most likely will." I said smiling a soft smirk. "I am working here after all."
"Never any harm in mixing a little business with pleaser, now is there."
Before I could thing of anything to say he tipped his head in a partial bow, and headed off in the direction he'd last seen Harry and Malfoy go.
Still slightly mesmerized by all the charm he could lay on, I watched as he walk out the front doors. Greeting people as he passed. It's been a while since....oh heck who am I trying to kid, it's been way longer than I want to admit. My last year of school, in fact. Since anyone has had that kind of effect on me.
That's the price you paid for a career I suppose. On the few times I do meet a charmer it's always the ones who pile it on so thick I have to use a machete to cut my way free. You know the type.
The really odd thing, all the suave charm Blaise Zabini possess, it didn't seem like a facade. It seems truly genuine. Like he was born with all the charm and dashing smiles, and good looks in the world and he plans to use them to the fullest.
Merlin, he'd make one hell of a con man.
"Here you are Miss." An usher said, showing me to my seat in the large open pavilion, which was set up in the back garden of the Manor.
"Thank you." I say with a smile to the usher, before muttering an "Excuse me.", to a middle aged couple I have to cross over, careful to lift up the hem of my dress a little as I did, before sitting down.
I must say the Malfoy's really know how to put together quite the social event. And a really beautiful one too. For some reason I thought the whole thing would be really dark and creepy, don't know why. Astoria would never allow that. She's not your typical pureblood princess. She's very out spoken about what she wants, and doesn't want, very much a free spirit as far as going against the trend her ancestors set before her. Astoria Greengrass is the total opposite of Draco Malfoy, I guess the old saying holds true.
Looking around the pavilion, which is done like a gazebo with only the top covered, I see everything is in a stunning shade of sky blue with silver accents. The flowers are the most lovely blush pink and white roses I have ever seen, and they are covering everything! The raised up alter where the happy couple are about the be wed has roses all over, and the entrance to the pavilion had roses lining the walkway up to it. I glance to my left and in the distant I can see a few regale looking white peacocks strutting about. The whole thing has a very magical feeling to it. No pun intended.
I should probably see who the guests are around me, seeing as I am suppose to be guarding this wedding after all. Make sure no crazed person does anything stupid. I don't need all the extra paperwork that would bring.
I notice several people I either recognize, or know personally.
Minister Shacklebolt and his wife are sitting a on the grooms side, ( I'm on the brides ) taking with the people next them. Several professional Quidditch players are scattered about, along with the newly appointed captain of the Bulgaria team, Victor Krum. Plus many more Ministry officials, celebrities and reporters from the different magazines and papers. If I listed them all for you, I'd most likely be here until dark.
I don't see Harry anywhere thought, or Ginny. Hmm, he must be doing some last minuet checks I guess. Or reassuring the Malfoy's he does have their best interest at heart. You can imagine how well that could be going with good old Lucius. Times like these makes me so happy I'm not the Head of the Auror Department.
"Hey you." A voice startles me from behind. Turning around, I see Neville leaning over the back of the empty chair next to me.
"Hey yourself." I smile. "Where have you been hiding, or were you lost?"
"Making sure the west perimeter was secure." Neville answered before adding with sheepish grin. "I get a bit.... turned around on the way back."
"Oh no you didn't!" I exclaim putting a hand to my mouth trying to keep from laughing.
Sighing Neville runs a hand through his short brown hair. "This place is bloody enormous! More twists and turns than the Department of Mysteries."
"What a cozy home" I comment sarcastically to which Neville nods his head in agreement.
"So, did you and Luna have a nice time last night." I ask as more people start filling in around us. "She was so excited to see you."
"Yeah, we had a nice time." Neville replied gazing off for a second before looking at me again, a small smile pulling at his lips. "I'm glad she was able to come home early."
See what I mean, they are so cute!
"Luna was a massive help to me yesterday." I add.
"Speaking of which," complements Neville nodding to my dress. "You look quite lovely." .
"Thank you Neville." I smile before returning the complement. "You looking very dashing yourself." Which of course is true. His dress robes look a lot like Harry's, only two buttons instead of three and midnight blue.
"Luna said the same thing." Neville says with a ting of pink on his cheeks.
"Smart girl that one." I playfully tease.
Before Neville can say anything, though I don't think he really knew what to say, a women I hadn't noticed crosses in front of me to the vacant seat which Neville was leaning on. Neville leaned back just as music starts to play, the same time I notice all the remaining seats are filled. I turn around in my seat same as everyone else looking to the back of the pavilion.
Flowing silver drapes, which at some point had been shut, open of their own accord to reveal a darling looking flower girl who can't be more than five years old. I wonder who she is, there certainly aren't any girls on Malfoys side, must be related to Astoria. As the little girl passes she looks up at me and smiles, yeah defiantly a Greengrass, then continues on throwing her rose petals all the way down the aisle until I can't see her anymore.
Turning back I see someone I do know, and love him to bits I do. I've thought about kidnapping him and taking him home with me on more than one occasion, he really does love it when we spend time together. Though I doubt his grandmother would be too happy about that. Let along his godfather. Standing as talk as his six year old self will let him, and sporting a very handsome head of blush pink hair which matches exactly the rose in the button hole of his jacket, is Teddy Lupin. The proud ring bearer who, by the look on his determined little face, is taking his job extremely seriously.
Teddy walk the entire way, never once taking his eyes off of Draco. All the while every woman, and yes that's including me because Teddy is the cutest, most sweetest child I have ever meet, is gazing at him with glowing smiles. Whenever Harry and Ginny need a last minuet babysitter I happily offer my services.
Draco has also become very fond of Teddy from what I hear, I think he started out trying to make up in some small way for what Bellatrix did, but ended up just as hook as the rest of us. Once Teddy gets close enough Draco leans down, shakes his tiny hand, and says a few words before Teddy sits down only a few seats away next to Adromeda Tonks.
Now that the cute little munchkins have had there chance to steal the show, the first bridesmaid starts walking down the aisle. Carrying a large bouquet of white roses, she's wearing a beautiful full length sky blue dress, halter style, a silver sash is around her waist tied in a small bow in the back. As she gets farther up the aisle I look towards the groom, three groomsmen standing to his left. For once in his life Draco Malfoy looks nervous. He's standing tall, looking as handsome as ever, but bouncing on his toes every so slightly. I watch as Zabini leans over and whispers something to him, causing him to smile a little before going back to his bouncing. I wonder what Lucius thinks of his son bouncing up and down like a ping pong ball, of in his case a ferret. ( I know that's evil of me, but I couldn't resist.) I'm guessing he's trying very hard not to notice.
Merlin help us, a Malfoy showing his feelings openly in public. And the day has only just begun.
Another bridesmaid I don't recognize passes by me and takes her place next to the other. Look back again, this time the Maid of Honor, Astoria's sister Daphne, starts to make her way smiling to family and friends she sees before stopping in front of Draco and giving him a small hug. I can see she's telling him something, probably the old 'You take good care of my sister or I'll hex you into next year and then cut off a few body parts' speech. I've always loved those. I remember the one my uncle gave at my cousin's engagement party a few years ago. Afterwards the poor bloke was shaking like a leaf looking like he'd like to bolt through the nearest door, but had enough smarts to know what would happen to him if he did.
Ah, good times.
Okay once again I'm getting way off track. Back to the wedding at hand!
The music changes now to the traditional Bridal March and I, along with everyone else, stand, my full attention now at the back of the pavilion where once again the drapes are closed. There's a pause where everyone is holding their breath before the silver drapes slowly part and the bride, on the arm of her beaming father, smiles at everyone as they begin to slowly walk down the aisle. I can feel a few tears starting to form in my eyes as they do. I can't help it really, wedding are such beautiful, romantic things that every girl dreams about. Being at one make you remember all the times you played bride and ran around the house in your mums white slip and pearls.
Astoria glides down the aisle with eyes only for one person, I'd like to point out Malfoy has stopped bouncing now and is standing there slightly slack jawed in awe.
Astoria's dress was something out of a fairytale. The fitted, sleeveless bodice is covered in tiny white, and sparkling clear beads down to the lace sash which ties into a small bow at the back. Below the sash the dress then gradually starts to puffs out into a full, wide skirt, that then leads to a long train, all of which is sprinkled with the same beads as the bodice. Astoria's hair is pulled high into an elegant bun, (I could only wish my hair to look that stunning), the veil is secured around the bun with a thin platinum and diamond band so all of the mid-length veil is in the back.
Once they reach the alter, Mr Greengrass kisses his daughter on the cheek, shakes hands with his future son in law, and passes Astoria's to Draco.
The minister, a short, slightly bald, plump little man in black dress robes, who looks like he could probably do this in his sleep, starts to speak as soon as all we are seated.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness in the bonding of matrimony two people who are about to take the first step in one of the most terrifying, and joyousm thing two people can do together. Giving themselves solely to each other in body, mind and heart. Sometime we think love is but a beautiful fantasy that isn't always easy to find, and sometimes harder to keep. Seeing Astoria and Draco together today shows us all that fantasys can come true."
Okay that's just slightly depressing, and yet sweet at the same time.
"Astoria please repeat after me." he asks turning towards the bride. "I, Astoria Greengrass take you, Draco Malfoy, to be by lawfully, wed husband. To love in all things, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sicker and health, I pledge myself only to you. Until death do us part."
Taking a deep breath and looking directly into Draco eyes, with nothing but love showing she begins. "I, Astoria Greengrass take you, Draco Lucius Malfoy, to be my lawfully, and wedded husband. To love in all things, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, I pledge myself only to you. Until death do us part."
Draco looked like he was about to burst with happiness. After all this time, he does deserves to be happy and I'm happy for him. What's done is done, everyone makes mistakes. He's a different person now than he was in school, he's finally lost that chip on his shoulder that he was always daring someone to knock off. Several near death experiences can in fact change a person, even if that person is a Malfoy.
This minister now asks for Draco to do the same. He was looking a tad nervous but has eyes only for his blushing bride.
"I, Draco Lucius Malfoy take you, Astoria Greengrass, to be my lawfully, and wedded wife. To love in all things, for better or worse, for richer or..... Oh hell lets be honest here; for richer of richer," Nobody can help but laugh at the oh so more properly worded vow. Everyone is very amused and grinning, except the elder Mr Malfoy who had his lips pressed together in a thin line.
"In sickness and health, I pledge myself only to you. Until death do us part." Draco finished, his trade mark smirk faintly starting to show, which I think puts the world back into it's proper balance. He was getting to be too 'normal' for a while there. "I also promise to love you with all my heart, every second of every day. It is now my mission in life to make you the happiest wife, not only in England, but the entire world. And to hopefully, someday, be worthy of the love you have given me."
Oh bloody freakin' hell he is good. Now Astoria isn't the one who's bursting and trying to hold back tears.
"I ask now for the rings please." The minister said after few moments, looking between Draco and Astoria, who in turn look to Teddy who has stood up and walk over to the minister. Opening his hand flat, he raises it up above his head and the minister take the rings with a smile. Teddy then turns and scampers back to his place.
Yes I think I'll start planning his kidnapping right now. I even have an extra room, see this could actually work! Well....after the wedding I'll start planning.
"These rings are a symbol of your love and vows to one another, to not only yourselves but to the people around you who have, and will, witness your love and devotion to each other." Pausing again, he then held out one ring for Astoria to take which she did.
She didn't need prompting this time, she immediately reached for Draco's left hand. "With this ring," she said as she slowly slid the gold band on his finger. "I thee wed."
Draco then takes the other ring from the minister, he was already holding Astoria's left hand who looked to be holding her breath. Who can blame the girl, I would be too if I were in her shoes. And what gorgeous shoes they are I'd like to add.
"With this ring," he began, sliding the matching band onto her finger. "I thee wed."
"With the power invested in my, by the wizarding community and Ministry of Britain," The minister said raising his wand above the couple. "I now pronounce you man and wife, magically and lovingly bonded for life. You may kiss the bride." He said looking at Draco with a proud smile, he no doubt looked at all the grooms he wed that way. As Draco stepped forward, closing the space between him and his new wife, he leaned down, placing both hands around Astoria's waist pulling her to him, and kissed her with so much passion and love you could practically hear the swooning from every woman in the pavilion.
Also at the same moment their lips touched, glittering gold sparks shot from the tip of the ministers wand and we all stood clapping loudly.
This wasn't the quickest chapter to write but it is definitely me favorite so far. Can you guess why?
Yes? No?
Ok I'll tell you...... Blaise Zabini!! I absolutely love him, he's a dream to write and he is going to be a HUGE part of this story, you probably already figured that out though huh ;), so I hope you all love him as much as I do. I'll have Part Two finished as fast as I can, check my authors page for updates. And as always please leave a review letting me your thoughts, any and everything, but particularly about Blaise because I'm dieing to hear what you think of him. Oh and isn't Teddy adorable? I couldn't resist throwing him into the mix. ;) Please forgive any type-o's I may have, I'll come back later and clean them up.
Also, don't forget to check my authors page for updates on new chapters for this and my other stories. I try to keep it as up to date as I can.
Oh, and how do you like the new fabulous banner?!?
Until next time rabid readers!
~Luna =)

One prisoner was killed and five guards taken hostage in a siege at Almafuerte prison in Mendoza on Saturday. The siege lasted for seven hours at the jail, which is located 40km from the provincial capital.
According to official reports, inmates managed to take the wing after prisoner Diego Casanova faked convulsions and guards opened his cell to help him. Casanova's two cellmates overcame the guards and arrested the keys off them.
Once in control of the sector, they opened the cell of one of the inmates and stabbed him 11 times. The victim, 35-year-old Darío Vega, had been serving an 18 year sentence for rape and sexual abuse of minors, was stabbed to death.
"The bad relationship between the murdered inmate and those who started the revolt was known and had been going on for various months," said David Mangiafico, of the subsecretary of justice.
But the victim's family do not believe his death was a 'settling of accounts' between prisoners, as during visiting times on Friday his sister had been insulted by prison guards. They suspect the guards themselves were involved in Vega's death.
Conditions in prisons in Argentina are notoriously bad, with a prisoner dying on average every two days, according to Amnesty International.

From the top of the hill, surrounded by flowers of lady's bedstraw and eyebright, we watch as clouds drift in from the south-west. One, an agitated violet, lowers from a dark nest above the circle of hills around Wenlock. It ruptures and rains.
The next morning, high cloud with blue slashes brings hope for a fine day. Sunny breaks are hot and humid. fields of wheat are still stiff and green but the barley is turning gold; only its seeds are still edged in green. Paths up the steep side of the Edge are slick with mud. Wet clay, reaching bramble and the congealing green of the woods makes the going tougher. This is not the easy land it looks. The old ways through this landscape - the packhorse tracks, cartways, footpaths, drovers' roads and bridleways - have a logic centuries old.
The scarp slope of Wenlock Edge is a barrier which makes coming and going difficult, and yet it is riddled with a network of tracks and small settlements. On top of the Edge are hay meadows which seem to belong to the age of these ancient tracks, rather than modern agriculture. The sward is short, not much more than a foot in height, and full of wildflowers: seed cases of hay rattle, orchids, fescues and flickering now with ringlet and meadow brown butterflies. So few such meadows remain that these are not only of historic importance, they represent a reservoir of species to colonise restored grasslands of the future through conservation seed mixes.
Following a labyrinth of old ways through woods and fields, we get back to the castle mound which guards the approach to the village of Rushbury. On this grassy Norman motte, surrounded by a group of tups - rams - is an ancient ash tree: broken and hollow, with huge bracket fungi and peppered with beetle and woodpecker holes; an entire nature reserve and living history in one tree, riddled with ancient ways with a logic of their own.

Enjoying life one day at a time
Sunday - September 22
Looks like I made the correct decision yesterday... I got an email from my friend who did ride. They were riding in the rain, and about 1 hour in were crossing a Rail crossing (severe angled crossing) and there was a crash. 6 of 9 riders went down... one stayed down. Rider broke his hip and will be in recovery for a minimum of 6 weeks... bed-ridden for a minimum of 2 weeks. I dodged a bullet yesterday.
Back is a little better today... ankle is being problematic. When will this sh!t end? :(
Saturday - September 21
Thursday - September 19
Wednesday - September 18
yesterday spent dealing with the pain in the mouth... ends up NOT being root canal issue. It's a clenching issue, need to get a new mouth guard maybe?
Back is very painful, so I'm resting until Saturday, I have a leisure ride in the morning planned.
Brake lever cannot be replaced... at least from the first source I checked. They said replace the whole STI unit... $200. Going to go through some more sources and see if that's true.

Same argument different month: Gi vs no gi.
1. Appeal to authority much?
2. There are just as many grapplers better than I and others who also consider Gi training to be silly for anyone not training to compete in a gi.
3.I am arguing that Gi training makes you more technical in aspects of the game that become less improtan without the Gi.
7/01/2010 10:08am, #2
Most of the top No-Gi grapplers also grapple with the Gi and recommend doing so. That includes Marcelo Garcia, Ruben Charles, and a bunch of others. This is not so much an "Appeal to Authority" as it is the considered advice of guys who make their living grappling.
Before I started doing Gi grappling I would have said that doing Gi wouldn't help my No-gi game much and would be a waste of time. I have since revised my opinion. Grappling in the Gi has improved many aspects of my No-Gi game. Primarily my submission defense and my mobility on top, but with secondary improvements of my escapes.
7/01/2010 10:21am, #3
Gi or no Gi aside which club has the better grapplers?
7/01/2010 11:37am, #4
Guys, I've said it before and I'll say it again. Gi and No gi are different. If you do both you will be a better all around grappler. One is not better than the other and it's almost impossible to prove one than the other because of the rule set and dynamics.

Sorry I meant which of the two clubs that OP is choosing from has the better quality instruction. removing the gi or no gi issue.
reading the other posts that is what I would base my oppinion on.
7/01/2010 1:16pm, #7
Dude totally do gi no-gi is like being naked and is totally for fags. Besides gis are like kimonos which is what Japanese WOMEN wear! So your either gay or a cross dresser... so like don't grapple at all. its totes ghey!

Most people, including professional fighters DON'T train how they fight!
Why? Because they wouldn't have a long career. Let me clarify. Training how you fight in regards to an MMA match would be essentially to have a MMA match when training. What I mean by this is full MMA rules, no protection that most people "train" with, a 100% MMA match as training. Now tell me...how long do you think a MMA career would last.
For the self defense types, the best way to "train how you fight" would be to go out and actually get into those types of situations and see if your stuff works. Hope you aren't training gun disarms that night...
The point you ask? Simple. The concept of "training" is to "train"; meaning you are in a controlled environment that allows you to practice with some sense of safety. Without it, you wouldn't be able to train for long, let alone actually being able to test your skills in an actual fight.
Now, as for the Gi and No-Gi, look at it another way. Just because in a "real" fight you won't be hitting a hanging bag of sand doesn't mean you can't use it to fine tune specific striking concepts, techniques, etc. And just because you won't be wearing a Gi in your MMA/No-Gi matches doesn't mean you can't use it to fine tune specific grappling concepts, techniques, etc. The reverse can be true as well for using No-Gi training to improve your Gi training.
7/02/2010 7:36am, #9
no gi= lots of sweat.
sweat= faaaaar more difficult to land subs and certain judo throws. so after about 30mins even drilling gets more difficult no gi.
the basic **** is so much easier to learn in a gi."The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero projects his fear onto his opponent while the coward runs. 'Fear'. It's the same thing, but it's what you do with it that matters". - Cus D'Amato

I looks like it should blow through pretty quickly.
Yeah, afoot of snow in record time!
I'm off to bed, My.
Have a good day tomorrow!
WOW! Now this a tour that I could take.
I tried to go through a Russian sub by the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA, but my claustrophobia reared its ugly head...I had to get out. This visual tour of the USS Pampanito is much more my speed.
Thanks, Sarge...((HUGS))
Will do.
Good luck.
Good evening/morning, Mooch. Stay warm. Are you expecting snow?
"They" say that Tuesday/Wednesday will be above freezing, with mixed rain and snow...not good, but that by Saturday the high would be 12 and the low -1.
A very weird winter so far.
Where else but the SS can a 3rd class Store Keeper get to drive a boat and do this?
Sending mega prayers for your safe journey. Staying with Dawn sounds like an EXTREMELY good idea. And I bet Moxie would appreciate the respite of a shorter commute in ugly weather.
And make sure you have LOTS of warm stuff in Moxie.
How cool was that!!!
Pretty cool LOL
I hope your Mom's Ok.
There was a 360 degree website of that SCICEX expedition on the internet but I can't find it anymore.
VADM Konetzni and ADM Bowman in the crew's mess of Hawkbill (SSN-666) during the SCICEX 1999 talking with the ship's COB. As Mike Hacking said; "There's a lot of horsepower at that table..."
Picture disappeared.
Imagine that.
Thanks...I've got them both in bed now. I have threatened my Dad about leaving the room, he did this morning to cook his breakfast (he can, but only if one of us knows what he is doing) ....because if he does he will wake her up. She said either the heating pad has helped "it", or the Percoset is working on whatever "it" is. He has a whistle and she only needs push the "C" button on her phone and my phone rings. She has a phone with big buttons and "I" "C" "E" buttons.
I is 911, C is me, and E is my brother, who is currently working on the North Slope.
I REALLY do hope this is a one time thing. My Dad has already had 3 kidney stone surgeries.
That is a very cool video.
Best regards Kath.
I know it's a struggle for you.
Thank you. One day at a time....we will make it.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.
Thanks, unique, for the pastries.
Coffee is always on........
How about a donut?
Good night.
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread, Lauren. How's it going?

The Minnesota Timberwolves met with former Houston Rockets coach Rick Adelman in Minneapolis on Tuesday to discuss their head-coaching opening, a league source said.
Adelman, who parted with the Rockets when his contract expired June 30, is the seventh candidate to interview for the job since the Timberwolves fired Kurt Rambis on July 12 with a year left on his contract. Rambis was given the chance to remain with the team in a front-office capacity, but he declined, several sources said.
This is not the first contact between Adelman and the Timberwolves about the job, but his decision to meet with general manager David Kahn is an indication of his strong interest.
Two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Adelman met with Kahn and Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, but left town without a deal.
The two people spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to comment publicly on the search.
Other veteran coaches who have pursued the opening and interviewed are former Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson, a three-time NBA coach of the year with a league-record 1,335 wins, and Larry Brown, who is not far behind with 1,275 wins, including the 2004 championship with the Detroit Pistons.
The Timberwolves have also interviewed Terry Porter, Mike Woodson and Bernie Bickerstaff for the job, but Adelman has been one of their top targets.
The Timberwolves finished a league-worst 17-65 last season, but they have substantial young talent, including first-time All-Star Kevin Love, former No. 2 pick Michael Beasley and this year's No. 2 pick, Derrick Williams.
All of the players, except for 30-year-old point guard Luke Ridnour, are between 20 and 26 years old.
Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio, the fifth pick in 2009, also announced he will make his long-awaited debut with the Timberwolves whenever the league ends its current labor lockout.
Three weeks ago, Adelman told reporters at a charity golf tournament he headlines near his offseason home in Portland, Ore., that he was planning to sit out this season, assuming there is one.
Adelman, 65, is 945-616 in 20 seasons as a head coach of the Trail Blazers, Kings, Warriors and Rockets, and has failed to make the playoffs only four times, including his last two years with the Rockets. He is believed to be a front-runner for the job because of a connection and familiarity with Love, who grew up and played high school basketball in Portland.
Kahn, who could not be reached for comment, also has an offseason home in Portland. The Timberwolves are not expected to interview any more candidates.

Sullivan and Cromwell and Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz have won roles advising on one of the biggest US bank acquisitions of the year as Buffalo-based M&T Bank agreed to buy smaller rival Hudson City.
The planned acquisition, which will allow M&T Bank to bolster its presence across America's East Coast, has been pegged by analysts as one of the largest M&A bank deals since the financial crisis in 2008. Based on the closing price of M&T stock last Friday (24 August), the transaction is valued at approximately $3.7bn (£2.3bn).
Wall Street firm Wachtell served as legal adviser to M&T Bank, around 4 per cent of which is owned by US businessman Warren Buffett's conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway. The team was led by executive committee co-chairman Edward Herlihy and corporate partner Lawrence Makow. Tax partner Joshua Holmes advised on tax aspects of the deal.
US rival Sullivan advised Hudson City, fielding a team led by senior chairman Rodgin Cohen and financial institutions partner Andrew Gerlach. Both are based in New York.
The deal announcement was followed by reports of share surges for both companies when markets opened.
Background to this deal:
M&T Bank and Wachtell have worked together for a number of years, with Herlihy advising the bank on a deal with Wilmington Trust Corp in 2010, fielding the same team it used on M&T's 2008 acquisition of Provident Bankshares.
The latest deal represents a first-time instruction for Sullivan from Hudson City.

I tend to pass on all the interviews that reveal which graying actor is a "prankster" on set or in-depth looks into things like vocal coaching or whatever, but I could honestly watch 100 behind-the-scenes vignettes about special effects. Hell, I'd watch an explanation about how they youthenized Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button if it were the length of that actual saga. I'm totally fine with any sci-fi, adventure, action, or fantasy flick packing their DVDs with VFXs breakdowns. Seeing how they create movie magic still pumps wild young blood into my silver screen-lovin' heart. Whether it's about entire spaceships being built or epic characters coming to life, I'm all about it. Here's one about making the young Arnold Schwarzenegger T-800 happen.

Apart from being a good and dedicated pop singer, Michael Jackson was unbeatable when it came to dancing. He had lots of unique styles of dancingyou could not believe. The turn walk, double toe stand, spin, train, hip-hop kick, robot, and the lean are some of the dancing styles Michael Jackson fancied.
- The turn walk
This move was one of the fantastic moves invented by Michael Jackson in 1984 during his victory tour. It is surprising how Jackson managed to do the turn walk. Maybe this was the reason the pop singer had a number of fans.
- The double toe stand
This move is characterized by toe stands with an S looking position.Michael Jackson made this move by curving his feet in an imposable way. The double stand move was very conspicuous during Billie Jean Motown 25's performance.
- The spin
Managing long spins can be quite harder to learn because you have to carefully watch your landing to support you from falling down. The spin was very common during the Thriller era.
- The Train
This move features a floor scooting technique like the movement of a train. This move was applied in the Bad, a short film shot by Jackson and his dancers.
- The hip hop kick
This move is famous for the amazing kicks. For you to do the hip-hop kick, you only have to hop and kick. Michael loved this much so much that he could always try it out on the streets in the company of his fans.
- The jacket throw back
Michael could to this move amazingly in his cool jacket. Mastering this move is much easier; you only have to get that classy jacket to make you look stunning then try moving in a way that displaces the jacket away from your body in the back movement.
- The robot
Do you know what robot movement entails? Well this is the hint on how and where to learn. Try watching the Dancing Machine by Michael Jackson and within a month of dedicated training, you will be good to go.
- The lean
Michael Jackson's lean movement is one of the most appreciated movements. In most of his songs, he could twist his body in a way that could leave him in a leaning position, leaving his fans in awe. Anyway, who was the genius to match this talented superstar?
- The Crotch grab
The Crotch grab is well articulated in Billie Jean performance. Michael does a perfect dance going with the beat. This is the sexiest dance move you can always enjoying watching.
- The sidewalk
The sidewalk move was invented by the king of pop in his "Bad Tour."
- The moon walk
The moonwalk is the most famous move. It is easier and enjoyable to learn. It is also called"the signature move." Some people say that Michael Jackson adopted it from the street dancers and children. With a good 9 months of practice, you will have perfectly mastered the moonwalk move.

Attorney General Holder Has a Compelling Reason to Consider a Zimmerman Prosecution
Earl Ofari Hutchinson | 7/17/2013, 11:53 a.m.
The moment George Zimmerman was acquitted, the NAACP and the Reverend Al Sharpton immediately called on U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to bring civil rights charges against him.
The Justice Department has already conducted an exhaustive investigation to determine whether Zimmerman killed Martin out of racial animus. It found no evidence of that. That's one hard and fast requisite for a civil rights prosecution. The other is that the state so bungled the prosecution of a defendant that in effect it nullified the intent of the law, namely to insure that justice was truly served. On the surface, this doesn't appear to be the case with Zimmerman.
Still, the call for Holder to strongly consider a federal prosecution is the right call. There are several factors within federal law that federal prosecutors must look at to determine whether there is a "compelling interest" in a second prosecution of a defendant who's been acquitted in a state court. It must involve a substantial federal interest, the state prosecution must not have vindicated that interest, the government must believe that the defendant's conduct could constitute a federal offense, and that there is still sufficient evidence against the defendant that the government can obtain a conviction.
There are clear elements of each of these hard federal prosecution requirements in the Zimmerman case. The compelling interest is probably the easiest of the requisites to satisfy. The defense and prosecution agreed that Martin did not commit a crime, was not even suspected of a crime, and was on a public thoroughfare when he was killed. The right to freedom of movement without the danger of undue harm is a fundamental right that's enshrined in Constitutional law and public policy. It's inviolate. The courts have repeatedly upheld a citizen's right to freedom of access and movement in public places.
Though there was no apparent racial motive in Zimmerman's confronting Martin, his action clearly violated Martin's right to exercise his freedom of movement. This directly impacts on an individual's right to life and liberty. This civil right was violated the moment Zimmerman presumed that a young black man walking on public sidewalk had committed a crime. The safeguard of that right must be a fundamental concern of federal prosecutors.
The Martin case also strongly pointed to systemic issues of excessive force, the excessive force being the slaying of Martin. This strikes to the heart of another basic right of citizens, namely the right to life and liberty, and again the freedom from undue harm. There was audio evidence that strongly hinted that it was Martin who was screaming for help and therefore was under physical assault from Zimmerman. Therefore it was his life, not Zimmerman's, that was in mortal danger. This is sufficient cause for federal prosecutors to question whether the jury ignored the fact that Martin was likely the victim, and Zimmerman was likely the assailant. This is one of the basic ingredients in determining whether the jury nullified a compelling prosecution fact.
The Martin case raised deeply troubling questions about the power of the law to protect citizens from their unimpeded right to life and safety. Federal prosecutors play a major role in ensuring that where there is the suspicion that an individual's rights might have been violated solely because of their race and gender that the power of federal law is brought to bear to ensure that right is protected.

Porter Making His Mark
Burnley loanee George Porter is making a quick impression on the U's fans, with his lively performances out on the wing turning opposition full backs inside and out.
Porter was given the Man of the Match award in yesterday's 1-0 win over Preston, and U's boss Joe Dunne told BBC Essex after the game that it was well-deserved.
The winger is with the U's until the end of the season, and many will be hoping that the deal can be made into something more permanent come the summer.
The 20-year-old was previously with Leyton Orient and so, should he be out of favour with Sean Dyche upon his return, maybe he would welcome a move back down to this part of the country.
Having formed a good partnership with Freddie Sears, Gavin Massey and Jabo Ibehre as part of a new-look attack for Dunne's side, the boss praised his 'old-fashioned' qualities.
He told BBC Essex: 'I think George Porter for Man of the Match is a good call, although it is of course a team game.
'I still don't think we've seen the best of George, but he is getting there.
'He's an old-fashioned winger who likes to take players on and can beat people when he gets them one-on-one; you don't see too much of that any more.'
Meanwhile, Chelsea loanee Billy Clifford continues to make his mark at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, with all parties wanting to extend that deal until the end of the season.
The young midfielder's current spell is due to expire after Saturday's trip to Sheffield United, but Dunne affirmed that he is hoping to extend that deal.
'Billy is a quality player with great composure on the ball,' he continued. 'We need those people to pick out the attack that we now have.
'We've been able to add the stability of David [Wright] which has helped, but Billy is quality and we want to extend that loan deal.
'We're so pleased to have him.'

For a snapshot piece about the current state of the UK music industry (summary: it's in flux, dealing with the sudden rise of digital consumption and the rapid decline of the CD), I interviewed the CEOs of major labels Warner, Sony BMG, EMI and Polydor (part of the Universal group). Though some of what they had to say was undeniably corporate, I still found it fascinating. Here are some of their quotes. What do you think? Are the major labels prepared for the future or are they done for?
John Reid, Warners You will learn more in a record company in this coming year than you will do in any other business. It's a fascinating opportunity.
We still make a huge amount of money out of CDs but what we have to do is grow the digital part of our business. And that's not about force-feeding digital sales, it's about altering our entire relationship with the marketplace, with the consumer and the artist.
It used to be that, in Britain, we would deal with around 100-150 outlets - Tescos, HMV, Zavvi, independent retailers, then Sky, MTV, BBC Radio 1, Orange, Vodafone, Apple. Now, with digital, that's completely changed: you're dealing directly with millions of people. A product manager now has to manage a direct relationship with a consumer.
It's not that we should all be promoters or T-shirt salesmen. The live business hasn't suddenly boomed, it's growing. And that's because the venues are nicer, the ticket prices are better.
We have a particular strategy that's different from some of our competitors, that's about investing with the act. And that's compelling, not just for new acts. The smarter managers want as broad an investment palette as they can get, with access to different revenue streams. This isn't just a land-grab, we're not just taking, we're giving them more than they had before.
Maybe acts won't be bringing out an album once every two years. Kids want more, we know that, maybe a couple of tracks every couple of months.
Managers talk to an agent to book a tour, talk to the promoter, make sure their act's music comes out a the right time. I have a feeling that the roles of manager and record company will intersect a little more.
There has been lots of self-flagelation about Napster in the industry - should we have licensed Napster? Possibly, but there still would have been a whole raft of other free services.
Always focus on the artist, it's about the artist and the record, if you do that, then we're fine. With most artists, what they want to know is that their guy in the record company is there for them. Your A&R person is your champion. Navigating the creative relationship is the hardest thing in music but the most important.
Warner has a great musical heritage and I think that counts for something, it's in the walls, Neil Young, Eric Clapton: will that matter to Seasick Steve? It might! Plus, we're smaller than two of the other majors, so we can move quicker, we have a flat structure and we're hungrier.
Ged Doherty, Sony BMG I hated the first six months of this job. I wasn't sure whether to focus on the music, the internet, the legislation... once I decided to focus on music, then everything else took care of itself.
On 5 January 2007, I said, Right, we're going to break five acts this year, and it instantly focussed the entire company. (Breaking acts is usually taken to mean that they go platinum i.e. sell 300,000 units.) And actually, last year, Sony BMG broke more acts than the rest of the industry put together. Six out of eleven - and we've just broken our seventh, Scouting For Girls.
The artists are in charge, we don't have a business without them, so you have to employ people who understand the artist, who are like-minded, who speak the same language.
The A&R relationship is the single most important relationship and the most delicate one. Not just for the good times, but the bad. Someone's got to call the baby ugly. By that I mean, tell an act that maybe their album isn't right, and they shouldn't put it out. In the end, if the artist insists, then we will, but we'll say, In my opinion, this is what will happen if you do - you'll get great reviews, but it won't sell.
We want an in-house artist agency, because booking agents can be very picky about who they take on. We could not get an agency to take on The View: until they went to No. 1, then every agency wanted them.
Say you budgeted £20,000 for a video: now, that might not be the best way to spend that money. Maybe you'd make ten 30-second clips instead for £20,000.
We've put a lot of resources into our consumer insight department. We connect regularly with 4 million people on our database.
Gerd Leonhard wrote The Future of Music, which basically said that the record business was terminally ill. I read it and thought he was right, so I hired him as a consultant. He's shaped our thinking. None of us know what the future looks like, so we can invent it, be part of it. Fifty five per cent of the new people we've brought in haven't worked in traditional record companies.
Once you could do tick-box marketing: book an ad in NME, a TV ad during Soccer AM. But that doesn't work any more. So, we're training our marketing people to do things differently. For the launch of Dido's next album, we're taking a very, very different approach.
Guy Hands, EMI Long-term, record companies have to survive on less money. There are other ways of getting money in, but they're not easy and the music industry is not adapted for them. Record labels are set up to promote through radio and to sell CDs.
When I was a kid, if you got a band on to John Peel, you hit the people interested in buying serious rock. But today, you need to get it on to 30, 40 radio stations. Lots of people get music from the internet, they hear it as background to TV programmes or in bars. Music comes from multiple sources and they're not quite sure how they can buy it when they hear it.
When I was growing up in the 60s, you went to a record shop, you played records in a booth and you bought the ones you liked. Selling records was easy as long as you got the records into the shops. Today it's much more difficult. The number of stores that sell 4,000 CDs is very small.
What Radiohead did with their download strategy - as an advertising informational activity, it was superb.
People are still willing to pay for music. They are willing to pay enormous amounts of money on ringtones, downloads, concerts, T-shirts. They spend enormous amounts of money on an iPod.
Downloading, whilst quick, takes longer than going into Amazon and iTunes.
If the billions that the music industry has spent suing and prosecuting people for illegal downloads had been spent on consumer awareness, then the music industry would be in a different position today.
We believe providing support towards a band touring, but in a more cost-effective model. We're exploring the alternatives to make touring more efficient. If an EMI front-line band is touring, a junior EMI band should support.
We've got two focuses: A&R and the consumer.
I'd rather be successful with a smaller number of artists than average with a larger number.
I don't think all press is good press. The industry is very talkative, it's terribly leaky. Every single email I've sent within the firm has been leaked to the press within two or three hours. If you say more than bland platitudes, people pick up on it. I tell the truth bluntly, that's why they're shocked.
I feel sorry for artists. I go to address my employees and there's four camera crews. Artists face that every day.
We have a wonderful musical heritage in the UK, relative to the population we release more music than anywhere else. We've got to protect that.
David Joseph, Polydor There's a preoccupation with what's going on at EMI and a focus on download rather than physical releases - and that doesn't hold the key to what's going on now. The PR is out of whack with what's actually happening.
This has been another very healthy year for us. We've made the right A&R decisions and we're backing the right artists.
Overall the industry is in decline. Online piracy and copyright theft is a problem. The business should unite to properly educate the consumer as to the value of music.
As a company, we're very healthy. Universal had seven out of the top 10 albums last year.
The record deal is going to change and evolve. If you're asking for a piece of something that people are not used to giving in terms of royalties you have to be fair. Make sure that it's a fair and comfortable situation for everyone.
There's the hardback and the paperback form of releases. The deluxe CD, with DVD extras, photos, great packaging, maybe concert tickets, merchandise. And then the paperback, which is the digital download.
Although there are more formats available, the fundamental business model hasn't changed that much.
We're transforming from a traditional record company into an entertainment company. In order for artists to break they need the best people around them, so we have to be a complete centre of excellence in every department. In terms of having the best team to sign and develop artists, that trust will develop over time. We need to prove to people that we can do it.
All this change is exciting but we don't want to lose sight of what we're here for. The artist is the most important thing. There are millions of people who love music, our job is to find the artists for them. We want artists to feel good and confident about signing to us and we want kids to be happy to work in a record company.
This is the fastest moving consumer business in the world. Look how quickly Adele and Duffy have broken through.
It would be terrible to take the showbiz and glamour out of the music business.
In ten years time, record companies have to be more into the area of artist services.

THE saga of the noisy cockerel rumbles on as its owner is accused of breaking a noise abatement notice again.
Helen Rogers was last month hauled before magistrates and fined £1,000 for breaching an order imposed by Winchester City Council over her cockerel, Big Bird, and ducks who had been waking neighbours at the crack of dawn.
Mrs Rogers keeps the bird on her son's land in Church Lane, Hambledon.
Although she has support from parts of the community – including the local vicar – the immediate neighbours say the birds are so noisy they are making their lives a misery.
Since the court case – which saw her handed an 18-month conditional discharge – Mrs Rogers has received a letter from the council warning her that further action will be taken after more complaints were received.
The 57-year-old traveller, who is living on the road in her caravan, said: 'I got a letter from the council just two weeks after the court case to say it's all kicked off again and the neighbours have reported the birds.
'They asked me in for a meeting but my solicitor is on holiday and there's no way I'm going in without her because I feel I'm being victimised. The magistrate made no order for me to move the birds. I only have Big Bird (the cockerel) and the ducks and they are covered up in coops in a stable so they are quiet.
'Between 8.30am and 9am I come over to uncover them. They do not make a noise when they're under there.
'The only birds I let out in the day are the tiny bantam and her two small babies. As far as I'm concerned no birds crow in the early hours. Other people round here have birds. How do they know it's not those?'
At the court case neighbours said the noise starts at 5am and continues into the afternoon with crowing three times every two minutes.
They said it had been going on for more than two years.
A recording taken by an environmental health officer was played to the court showing the crowing of cockerels and quacking of ducks.
Winchester City Council originally put in place a noise abatement order last autumn which was broken on November 5, 7 and 11.
Neighbour Tony Higham said they had not troubled him since the case but he had been away most of the time.
In the letter to Mrs Rogers environmental health officer David Ingrams said: 'Clearly it is in everybody's interests, most of all your own, that this ongoing issue is resolved and that the abatement notice is complied with. In failing to comply you run the risk of further legal action being taken against you.'
Speaking to The News he said he would contact Mrs Rogers to arrange a new, mutually agreeable, date to discuss the matter.

City insists bond money won't go to streetcars
Officials spend day rebutting TV, radio stories.
Updated 11:18 pm, Tuesday, December 6, 2011
This week, citizen committees will finalize the list of proposed bond projects they plan to send to the City Council for approval, paving the way for voters to consider a $596 million bond program next May.
But the city spent most of Tuesday discrediting reports about a project that's not on the list of bond initiatives at all: Streetcar.
City officials said a series of television and radio reports on Monday wrongly suggested that 2012 bond dollars could be spent on VIA Metropolitan Transit's planned downtown streetcar.
"It's flat out wrong," said Carri Baker Wells, a tri-chair for the city's community bond committees.

"Streetcar rail has never been a part of the bond committee," she said.
Mayor Julián Castro also repeatedly has said that neither 2012 bond dollars, nor any of the city's general fund dollars, will be spent on a streetcar, though the City Council recently voted to support construction of the project and to help pay for several other VIA transit projects.
Various local grass-roots activists, including toll road opponent Terri Hall, spoke to the media about the issue on Monday, raising the possibility that the city was trying to slip the streetcar into the list of street bond projects, even though the money might not go to rail itself.
"I think the whole project ties together," Hall said. "Whether it's a streetcar, laying down the rail tracks, or reconstructing the streets to make way for the streetcar, it's all part of the same project."
Several streetcar opponents also showed up at a Monday night bond street's committee meeting, among them Bob Martin, president of the Homeowner Taxpayer Association of Bexar County, a group that successfully helped to defeat a light rail initiative here in 2000.
Martin suggested a proposed $40 million listed in the bond for downtown street infrastructure to "enhance multi-modal options and support economic development," actually is slated for streetcars, as is another $15 million set aside for reconstructing streets in HemisFair Park.
"'Multi-modal' is code for streetcars, while 'economic development' no doubt refers to the few developers along the streetcar corridor that may see some taxpayer funded benefit," Martin wrote in a news release he sent out prior to Monday's meeting.
Mike Frisbie, director of the city's Capital Improvements Management Services division, said the city has defined multi-modal as projects that involve all users, including motorists, cyclists and pedestrians — but not streetcars.
Pape-Dawson Engineers Inc. is studying which streets in downtown need the most work. Its analysis originally was due in May, the same month as the bond election, but now the city hopes to expedite the study, so voters receive a specific list of the downtown streets that the bond will fund, Assistant City Manager Peter Zanoni said. A preliminary study has identified $225 million worth of street needs in downtown.

Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Four years ago I created a family tradition called Tuesday Night Dinner. I just had my first born, Brook and I wanted my Mother to bond with her grandchild. So every Tuesday she comes over along with my best friend Shannon and whomever else wants a home cooked meal and we break bread. My Mom requested French Onion Soup one day and although I like this soup, I always try to step it up a bit. So, I thought if I added just as many mushrooms as onions and still keep the integrity of the cheese and crouton top, we might have a winner. I add just a touch of cream for body and flavor and I have to say with the fresh rosemary and thyme, this dish is fabulous. Don't forget to spread the roasted garlic on the croutons, it's one of the best parts! Happy Eating! —jonewman

Cuccinelli to make campaign stop in Loudoun on Monday
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, will lead a campaign rally in Sterling Monday, where he'll tout support from several southern-state attorneys general.
Joining Cuccinelli for the 1:30 p.m. event at 21430 Cedar Drive off Route 7 will be Republican attorneys general Pam Bondi or Florida, Luther Strange of Alabama, Sam Olens of Georgia and Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia.
Cuccinelli campaigned this weekend in Lynchburg and Goochland with former Arkansas governor and popular conservative pundit, Mike Huckabee.
-Trevor Baratko
did you read the list of violations? look at june 27th for clinics
oranges869 - Violations of the health have nothing to do with making bogus regulation on such clinics that have not added value in safety they are only meant to back door shut down the clinics. All major doctors groups have spoken out against these regulations calling them not founded any good medicine, science, nor medically necessary. These doctors groups even showed statistics to back up their claims. You are more likely to die from an elective plastic surgery which is done in a clinic also than a complication from an abortion, where is the outrage there?
I will take doctors opinion over a religious zealots any day of the week when it comes to
Spell check, capital E in Erickson and a Mr. in front of it if you talk to me.
Women's clinics that had violations of the Virginia health code, look it up 80 instances even when the inspection was announced. Thankfully the restaurants we eat at have better rating then these "Health Clinics".
Cuccinelli-eminent domain—homeless heath care—transportation bill—big pharma—domestic violence—human trafficking—gangs—mental health—usury—veterans affairs—anti-trust enforcement
McAuliffe—Global Crossing—SEC investigationS—Green Tech Visas—bankrupt companies—wood pellets
I don't always think.
But, when I do, I'm drink a Dos XX's.
Stay thirsty, my friends !
I guess if you think an Attorney General should be taking $18,000 in gifts from someone and not telling anyone about it, then Ken Cuccinelli is your guy.
when I think of oranges869, I think of erikson
When I think of Cuccinelli I think selling out the AG office to our of state oil companies. I think of attempts to close women's clinics that have no medical reasoning and no supported by doctors. I think of his office refusing to take up the Openband case for the Southern Walk HOA like it should against MC Dean who is a big support of his campaign.
oranges…really that's all you can think of when it comes to Cuccinelli?
When I think of Bill Clinton I think perjury.
When I think of Hillary I think of Benghazi.
When I think about McAuliffe I think SEC, Green Tech off shore account, tax returns and terminally ill people.
When I think of Cuccinelli I think Attorney General!
Monday at 1:30…Hmmm….most people are working that time of day. Maybe he's busing in his own crowd ?
