The Hotel is way off the beach but 10 min walk to shopping street. Far away from being a five or four star hotel regards to freshness and service. Our room weren t cleaned for instance. The hotel felt and looked old not refurbished since it was built 15 y ago.

Accommodation and facilities:
This is quite a nice hotel. But it lacks few amenity (e.g., safety box, hair dryer, coffer and boiler). Otherwise, it could be like a luxurious hotel. The room is great. But it s a bit old. It is in Ao Nang area. But we have to walk like 15 mins to get to the beach. The hotel has free transportation but it leaves quite infreqently. So we walked for most of the time. The swimming pool is very nice, but we did not get to use it because we are outside everyday.

Accommodation and facilities:
I stayed in the Pavilion 8 years ago when the hotel was only 2 years open. My comments from my last stay are more directed at the work that needs to be done on the outside of the building itself and to tidy up the facility s around the pool (more sunbeds needed plus some new ones to replace the broken ones) that are still around the pool. Also the need to clean/repair and paint the outside of the building so as it leaves a good impression of the hotel when you are viewing it from the pool. Constructive Critisism: The rooms are still as good, but the wooden areas need a good coat of varnish. The whole outside look of the hotel needs a good facelift or even a good clean and a coat of paint. Pool area needs to be smartened up with either new sun beds or at least the old ones painted or re-varnished. Really need some new towels for the pool area, every one we got was well worn and the edges frayed. The ambiance inside the hotel is still as good and the relaxation areas on floor 3/4/5 & 6 still have a good feel to them. No real need for the pool table or football table on the the floor. To me the difference from my 1st stay to this one is that the outside of the hotel in particular looks very tired and takes away from the rest of the experience in staying in the hotel and is really taking the standard of the hotel down to 3/3.5 instead of 4 or more. The 3 tier pool is still one of the best of any hotel that I have ever stayed in, and when you forget of what the outside of the hotel looks like and look into the inside of the hotel from the pool, it is really a shame, as I find the Pavilion a really good hotel to stay in. It looks even better at night when the lights are on and look from the same view. The staff on both of my visits have been really good. From the room cleaning staff, the service staff for breakfast and the reception staff, I found there understanding of English very good and especially the staff at breakfast who remembered little requests from the 1st day that we asked for and never ever had to ask again for the same thing again, it was always asked if we still required what we asked for the 1st day. It may have been a minor item, but it is a good sign of staff training that the people remembered. All in all I would have no problems with staying at the Pavilion again, but I just hope that this hotel is not allowed to be let go and looses custom for the sake of its cosmetic appearances. As we all 1st impressions always stay in peoples minds, but the view of the outside of the building takes away a lot of the charm that the hotel has.

Making bread by hand is fun. It's a great workout for your arms and shoulders, and it's fun to watch the bread rise when the yeast starts doing its work. But you need a lot of extra time to make bread by hand, and if you're like me, you don't have that kind of time very often. I had a bread maker that was given to me as a present, and it was sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I decided that using a bread machine might be less fun than rolling the dough on a breadboard by hand, but it was still better than eating bland store-brand bread. Bread from the store is filled with all sorts of chemicals and preservatives I was trying to avoid, too.
Bread machines have come a long way in the last few years. If you had a bread maker a ten or twenty years ago, you probably remember that it really didn't save all that much time over making the bread by hand, and most of the machines made really strangely shaped loaves. That's all changed.
Today's modern bread machines let you dump all the ingredients together instead of a lot of premixing. The loaf pans pop out for easier cleaning, too. Even though there's a lot less hands-on time, a modern bread machine turns out a loaf with the shape and consistency of the best bread you can buy at the supermarket, and it tastes fresh and wholesome hot out of the machine.
Most people give up too easily when learning to use their bread machine. It can be hard to get the ingredients and the timer just right, but once you've tried a few loaves, it's as easy as making a pot of coffee. After you begin to turn out nicely browned loaves, it's time to tinker with the ingredients to make the bread into a real treat.
One of my favorite additives to perk up my loaves is sweetened condensed milk. I put in about one-half a cup in a regular recipe, and it gives the bread a silky consistency and extra flavor that makes a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich into a banquet. You can cut the bread extra thick to give your sandwiches more body, and the leftovers make fantastic croutons and French toast, too.
Your bread maker can probably make other related foods. I use mine to make pizza dough while I'm away at work. The bread machine's timer makes perfect pizza dough in a few hours, ready for me the minute I walk in the door.
To most people, no other place on earth might be compared to our house. It's no wonder that the majority of us might have heard about the term 'home sweet home. 'Besides sitting on my desk, I commit large bulk of my time at home, in the kitchen and that is why kitchen is in my experience, my most significant area of your house. This will depend on your preference and life style, some of you may have an alternative idea. I'd not be amazed even when you tell me that kitchen may be the last-place in the house that you would want to spending some time at but I suppose that you do not belong to that group of people. If you do spend plenty of your own time in the kitchen, I'm sure you would agree that it's very important to always get only the best home appliances. You'll find items that you have to consider when making a product purchase and I am going to share handful of them here.
Microwave oven is one form of appliances that has attracted its fair-share of controversy. The pros and cons concerning this particular appliance has been discussed ever since it made its way into the mainstream consumer. It depends on which position you are looking from, you will find that some microwave oven reviews pitch strongly for it (for most of the conveniences it's offering) while some reviews chose to highlight the negative health consequences that a microwave oven puts on our health. For that reason, even before your hunt for the best microwave oven, it is vital that you establish which school of thought you belong to and that should help you decide if you should even purchase a microwave oven in the initial place.
Due to all the junk-food chains sprouting up all over the nation, the number of overweight Americans is greater than in almost any other area of the world. I'm happy that there are individuals who are trying to counter this growing trend and trying to bring awareness to good and healthier lifestyle. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices, shakes and yoghurts are some of the food diets recommended by many health experts. These are no doubt things that you will find selling off the shelves within your local store but I personally like making them by myself since it means fresher produce. If as encouraged by the authorities, you drink a glass of juice every day, getting the best vegetable juicer is something which you want to seriously consider. As a starting point, it is good to learn the difference between masticating compared to the normal juicer. Be warned that if you go through most of the juicer assessments, you will find that the best masticating juicer is not cheap but there is certainly worthy benefits that come with it. Drinks produced from a masticating juicer is surely a class above that of a normal juicer and it is something that you'd only appreciate once you've it inside your kitchen and make your own personal favorite vegetable or good fresh fruit juices. For more information on the best available juicer and blender check out www.mermaiddiaries.com.
Refrigerator is one object you will see in every home. As far as my memory goes, I've maybe not been into a house with no fridge inside. Why we need one, I do believe you've the answer and need not my enlightenment. Let's assume that we replace our refrigerator once every five years (I guess you've to be in luck and you've to get the absolutely top-rated refrigerator if you want it to keep going longer). With countless household all over the world utilizing it, you can sense what a lucrative business the refrigerator makes. As we see increasing number of manufacturers making a foray in to this profitable market, selecting the very best fridge model is increasingly complicated as you will find more choices and more features to consider. Thus, I typically advise that you read about the reviews of the brand (obtaining LG refrigerator reviews is simple) even before you start diving to the reviews of any particular refrigerator model. Do not be surprise if you find out that the oldest brand in this business is not the largest consumer electronic manufacturers that you frequently heard of.
One home appliance that is not compulsory to possess (it's regarded as luxury) may be the dishwasher. I'd consider myself fortunate if I have a dishwasher unit at home and it is good to understand that the best dishwasher does not come inexpensive. There are a variety of items that you need to carefully think about prior to jumping into it. The very first thing that you have to carry out is to check your entire dinnerware units (cups, plates, containers and etc) and make sure that they're made from material durable enough to be placed inside a dishwasher. Some glasses will break under heat and I'm sure that you do not wish to find yourself replacing all your dishes after purchasing your dishwasher. If you sieve through various dishwasher assessments, you'll realize that this is only among the many things that you have to keep a look out for.
I think you should be able to feel the excitement that I've when I'm discussing the kitchen stuffs. Nothing but the finest kitchen appliances can make the cut for you if you are like me, always excited to talk about our kitchen. To help make the perfect homemade margeritha pizza, you'd need the finest pizza maker. Consider having the best deep fryer if you usually make your own personal fritters. Be sure you did your research in advanced and know which type has received positive reviews even before making your way down to the shop. When the perfect smoothie machine is what you require, you may want to proceed through the various blender reviews before finding your top set of candidates. For now, I leave it to you to explore and I hope my sharing has given you an insight about the considerations that you've to be watching when you're buying your next pair of appliances.
The planet is full of numerous interesting in which some merely have no rational explanation to their origin and ending. There are lots of strange spots in the world but the strangest of all are guaranteed to make you go gaga. Being one of those people that love adventuring traveling, and finding the most strange matters relating to this planet that we call our house, a while ago I compiled a record of the weirdest areas to have been discovered on earth. Though I have not seen a bulk of these areas, I will certainly visit if I get a chance and included them in my compilation. I thought it is better to share them here and I'm hoping you'll enjoy them.
All of us dream at a certain point in our life of retirement. The idea of ideal retirement varies between individuals but there's one retirement hometown that made it into the news recently. This retirement hometown is referred to as The Villages and is reputed to be one of the largest retirement communities on the globe. Found in a location like Florida, The Vilages seems like an enjoyable retirement area. But this is far from the reality on the earth with The Hamlets having been thrust into the limelight due to the sheer variety of scandals and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) reported there. Bars, restaurants, country clubs and golf courses are found in The Village in wealth, which makes it look like a perfect retirees' hometown, but not when scandals and outdoor sex are prevalent like we've come to know of late.
Dwelling in the era of modern science and technology, not a lot of folks buy the notion of speaking to the deceased and superstitious. Lily Dale must be the spookiest place on world. Incorporated back in 1879, Lily Dale is an area that is constructed with the purpose of religious progress. Lily Dale is the perfect setting for those of us looking for a spot where things can fill their spirits beyond material worth, folks not frightened by the whole thought of speaking to the invisible or the hidden. There are classes given through the year and distinguished guest lectures comprise the likes of Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer.
Clearly there are several other weird places on world and this really is simply a very small listing of the most unusual of them all. In my opinion, visiting such places is crucial for anybody who is looking expand their outlook of the entire world and to be amazed. I still cherish the thought of seeing some of them one day, although they sound a bit too frightening for me. A thousand words may be described by an image but I'm sure experience and the feeling is some thing that you can get only when you land your feet on these places. Now, there are still many odd places which are yet to be discovered and I am hopping to raise the list as unusual phenomena are identified within our lovely planet.

Steve Jobs, a standout amongst the most enigmatic leaders and innovator of our era, perished in the year 2011. But a few years after his death, his legacy can nevertheless be smelled in the air and Apple turned into the most precious company on the planet in 2014. Apple has still remained the same business that was secretive that it always has been, even several years after the passing of Jobs. For people who aren't exactly Apple enthusiasts, there are lots of interesting things about the firm you might not be aware of. Let us have a peek at several of the most fascinating facts of Apple Inc. I guarantee that you are actually going to be intrigued and these details might enable you to truly have a peek of recipes and the secret ingredients that are converted into such amazing Apple products like iPods and iPhones.
Until the rise of Android, everybody knows that Apple is Microsoft's largest enemy. What a great number of folks are not aware of is the $150 million enterprise that Bill Gates put in the 1997 back in Apple. Looking back at the history of the technology business, you'd recognize this is Jobs had just made a recovery to Apple after he had been fired a few years before and that Apple was on the point of failing. In the year 2003, Microsoft had fully sold off their shares at Apple but it would've been worth over $20 billion in 2014 if they hadn't done thus.
Following their revolutionizing success in the music industry, Apple made another astounding one in the cell phone business. And they are raising their cash heap at a speed that is extremely interesting. By the year 2014, Apple had $160 billion in cash accessible. To simply conceptualize this, Microsoft had only $85 billion while the US Treasury had in the first quarter of 2014. And to illustrate even farther, this money is sufficient to purchase an iPod for each and every individual in America and still not get depleted. This cash reserve would get Apple Inc among the 50 biggest economies if it were a state.
More money was made by Apple than the top 3 technology powerhouses like Google Amazon and Facebook in the first quarter of 2014. We know that Google is the king when it comes to search engine. We know that Facebook is king in regards to social media. We know that Amazon is king when it comes to online shopping. Nevertheless, Apple generated more money than the three companies combined and anyone would be astounded to discover that the combined revenue of these 3 tech giants are still short of what Apple earned in the first quarter of 2014. More impressively, the entire iPhone sales of Apple was at $26 billion and the $20 billion generated by Microsoft as a whole company is not more than that.
Since we're at the start of the brand new millenium, Apple keeps on amazing every one of us at how well they've achieved considerably. Both as the Apple brand and as a company, they still keep on shattering people's beliefs of what has been believed as actually achievable. They continue to achieve magnificence as they transcend heights man impossible at such an early part of this new millennium and have performed at every level. Tim cook had an enormous shoe. Though many critics believe that the best days for Apple are long gone, so far Cook and his team have illustrated that they are, at least for now, capable of maintaining Apple's growth. Although we all know that everything is bound to come to a conclusion. The forthcoming few years are definitely going to be interesting with all of us watching keenly to see whether the scheduled release of the Apple Watch will probably be yet another revolutionary hit or a miss.
Dwelling is the best spot for most people. That's why the phrase 'home sweet home' continues to be devised and broadly referred. I'm not sure about you, but I tend to spend most of my time in the kitchen compared to any other sections of your house and that is why my kitchen is the heart of my house. However, I know not all of you would concur as it all depends on your enthusiasm in life and what you love doing most. I do not deny the truth that kitchen happens to be the most despised place to some people (which I can not figure out why) but for the most of you, I presume you love your kitchen as much as I do. If you're like me and often spend lots of time in the kitchen, making certain we consistently get the best appliances for the home is paramount. You will find matters that you just should consider when coming up with an equipment obtain and I'm going to share few of them here.
Microwave oven is one kind of appliances that has attracted its fair-share of controversy. The advantages and disadvantages about that special appliance was debated since it made its way into the mainstream consumer. It depends on which side of aisle you're at, you can constantly find some of the latest microwave oven reviews online that talk highly and also those that talk terribly of it. One advice I always give to oven noob is never to jump into looking at
2015 Best Microwave range right away but more importantly, to first comprehend the different arguments that have been put forth and make a stand whether to continue or to quit the search for the best microwave oven.
When you are going through say a Panasonic microwave oven review, you may want to assess if the design is a convection or standard model. While many people may know about the term, most people are not even certain what this signifies and if they really must get the convection sort. It sounds like a hefty jargon but convection oven, whether it is a microwave or toaster, is only the normal type but with a built-in lover connected to the machine to help the air flow to achieve a more uniform temperature distribution throughout cooking. It does not seem clear to many but request the experienced oven users and they will inform you this is likely the single most important characteristic that decide the quality of your cooking. That's why you will discover the best-rated convection toaster oven to really be much more expensive than the best non-convection toaster oven.
As you can see, I am particularly excited to talk about my oven as it's one of the most useful appliance I found within my kitchen. For people who can connect well with what I'm obsessed about, I'm sure you realize how significant it's to get the finest quality equipment and the best oven is just one of them. Ask yourself how you like to do your cooking and comprehend that there are different kinds of oven created for different types of cooking approach. If you love to entertain and have inherited a heirloom pizza recipe, consider obtaining the ultimate patio oven as it-not only enables you to bake the perfect pizza but also entertain your guest while your pizza is baking.

It's a continuous private fight that consistently goes on in my own head that if you do not have something for which you are utterly obsessed with then you are missing out on things which are greatly enthusiastic and wild in your lifetime. Before I am assaulted from all sides by folks, who like to be reasonable and logical to be obsessed with anything in their lives. Let's give this straightforward question a careful idea. Ask yourself is your life worth living if you are merely unnecessarily passing your life without the worth or meaning and don't have any motive to get out of bed each day or no rationale to sleep late at nighttime and nothing that excites you. Maybe I'm at another extreme where I frequently find myself obsessed over may things. I always carry my passions on my sleeves. I consider everyone of us is born with some kind of passions but it's entirely up to us to fall upon it.
Some time back, I discovered my love for cooking and since that time, I've been honing my culinary abilities. I realize the various cooking shows shown on TV are fantastic to begin with but it requires real practices to actually know what your location is and start enhancing. Making errors is part and puzzle of the journey and do not anticipate perfect steak in the beginning and you could even need to get prepared some first aid kit as it is fairly likely you get your fingers cut while you're learning the way to slice things like meat, onions and vegetables. There actually isn't any shortcut to this but it is a journey you're always excited traveling on if this is actually your passion. It was the cooking shows that first inspired me but I discovered attending cooking courses to be more pleasing. I definitely see my ability improving but it is the interaction with folks of similar interest if you ask me that I find most fulfilling and satisfying.
I'd lately found my fire for computer programming. Sometimes, I mull over it and only if I 'd unearthed this passion before in life, perhaps I'd happen to be capable to do so substantially more. Banking is the history of most of my relatives and I can't blame them if all they've exposed to me is nothing but the world of banking. They often refer to me as a contrarian thinker but I loathe to declare that I truly dislike to discuss banking. I, instead, find myself appreciating so substantially when I talk about programming in place of economics subject. Fueled by my passion, I believe it'll just be a matter of time before I can proclaim myself as a programming specialist but at this point of time, I'm not quite there yet.
Most individuals see photography as a avocation that enables one to capture pictures of events, special instants, or things that caught your attention correct at that very moment. But I look at photography from an alternate angle. I see photography as a time machine that provides a window so which you can catch glances of your past and preceding experiences which are imprinted in your mind but can never be produced. One thing about photography that fuels my fixation is that it enables you to recreate all the sensations, sounds, odors, and emotions at the very instantaneous when the shutter clicked. Furthermore, photos even have the power of sharing those same memories with others - while at exactly the same time keeping the secrets of the moment. This really is why specific images will pop up in your life and go passing by like bubbles on a stream and others, even if just seen in a glance, will become tattooed on the rear of your brain eternally.
Each one of us is exceptional but I definitely consider that fire is something which we all have. Some folks refer to it as obsession while some others refer to it as ability. I do not care what you call it but one thing for sure is they are nicely hidden within every one of us and no one else but ourselves can unhide them. Once you determine to pursue your heaviest fire and recognize yourself like never before, you'll see that your life has changed radically as when it is being painted by many different colors that is lively, more vibrant and full of life, energy and positivity. You are going to live your own life and you will become yourself when you uncover your obsessions.

You just won't believe it - you really won't.
Running Time Approximately: 1hr 44mins
A shuffled deck is spread and any card is freely named. This value of this card is used to select two more cards and all three cards are added together to form a random number. The named card is turned over and amazingly it is seen to be the only card bearing a message: TURN THE BOX OVER! The card box is turned and in huge black letters is the sum total of the three cards!
Pip My Ride
You visually move a pip from one card to another - then you eat the pip! Seriously!
A strange kind of sandwich effect where nothing is as its seems!
A progressive assembly with a backfire!
Trick Question

All but the one the spectator was keeping track of that is - that one's in your pocket!

Hi all,
I'm running a manufacturing company in Ontario. I was planning to purchase some scissor lifts for industrial purposes. I came to know about some lift providers across my area and I'm not sure about the quality of their products and services.
Last day, I had a look at some reviews on the net about a scissor lift manufacturer around my area. Any idea about their rates? Are they affordable? Shall I go for them?
Are they providing any warranty for their equipment? Any certifications for this company so far? Any comments on the quality of metal used while manufacturing their products?
Any comments or suggestions are always welcome. Thanks in advance.

Kapaun museum plans security improvements
News editor
Eugene Kapaun was always adamant that if his brother, Father Emil Kapaun, was ever awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in the Korean War, the medal should go to Pilsen, Kapaun tour guide Rose Mary Neuwirth said.
Eugene didn't live to see the day, but on Thursday, the president will present the highest military award for valor to Ray Kapaun, Father Kapaun's nephew. Neuwirth said the family agrees with Eugene's belief that the medal should go to Pilsen, where Father Kapaun grew up and served as a priest.
However, the room in St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church's rectory that serves as a mini-museum in Kapaun's honor is insufficient in size and security to be the permanent home to such an important historical artifact, Neuwirth said.
The rectory is too small for some of the crowds volunteers have given tours to already. Neuwirth has taken as many as 50 people through at a time, and last October volunteers gave tours to more than 700 people, which doesn't account for the people who only stopped to visit the statue of Kapaun outside.
Neuwirth expects the crowds to swell with Kapaun's latest honor. If Kapaun is canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church in the future, volunteer tour guides Neuwirth, Carol Makovec, Harriet Bina, and Carole Sklenar could be inundated with pilgrims.
The volunteers have spoken with Sheriff Rob Craft for ideas about improving security at the rectory while they continue to pursue a long-term solution.
"The long-range plan is that we would love to have a center," she said.
A proper museum and visitor center would make it easier for volunteers to give tours to visitors who don't arrange a tour in advance — like Tom Butt of Lawrence, an Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War, who made the trip to Pilsen on Monday after reading about Kapaun over the weekend.
Neuwirth said a visitor center with space for children could allow young stay-at-home mothers to volunteer, making the hours more regular. There is already land that could be used for construction of a visitor center near the church.
The Father Kapaun Guild, which works to support Kapaun's prospective sainthood, receives donations for that cause, but it is unable to contribute to security improvements at the rectory or any future visitor center, Neuwirth said.
Some details remain to be worked out,
Some details remainto be worked out, but the Marion County Record asked for and received permission to start a Chaplain Kapaun Legacy Fund at Tampa State Bank to provide for security improvements at the rectory and future construction of a visitor center. The fund will be used exclusively for improvements in Pilsen. To kick it off, the newspaper will donate $1,000 in hope of spurring other donations.
Bishop's transfer is hiccup for sainthood
Michael Jackels, bishop of the Wichita Diocese, was announced Monday as the next archbishop of Dubuque, Iowa, a move that could delay the movement for Kapaun's canonization.
The local bishop plays an important role in the canonization process, Neuwirth said. She hopes a new bishop can be appointed for Wichita soon.
Even if things continue moving forward, there is no timeline for the Vatican to consider Kapaun's possible sainthood.
When the Father Kapaun Guild formed, Father John Hotze, judicial vicar for the Wichita Diocese, said there was no chance Kapaun would be canonized during the organizers' lifetimes, Neuwirth recounted, but more recently, he has said it is possible.

UC Santa Barbara sophomore Scott Lewis made it through three holes of the U.S. Open on Thursday morning before the rain at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, N.Y. caused a postponement of the first round.
Lewis began his day on the par-four 10th hole, by making par. The 10th is one of four par-four holes on the course that are longer than 500 yards. According to official U.S. Open website, "a par on this hole would be a very good score."
Lewis' second hole, the par-four 11th, was a bit trickier as the sophomore had a double-bogey on the 435-yard hole. Lewis bogeyed the 504-yard, par-four 12th hole, giving him a +3 after three holes.
That score ties Lewis for 56th overall, putting him ahead of such names as Rory Sabbatini (+4 through nine holes) and Padraig Harrington (also +4 through nine). Four players are tied for the lead at minus-one.
For more information on UCSB's Lewis and how he qualified to play at the U.S. Open, please click here.
With the arrival of Mark Massari as Athletics Director in October, UCSB Athletics launched the Gauchos Give community outreach initiative for all 450 athletes and 20 sports. Gaucho athletes give back to their community through free clinics, helping families during the holidays, providing financial and emotional support during tragedies, and touching the lives of youth groups.

School Bus Strike Begins as Thousands Scramble for...
Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the city is not considering court action right now in connection with the school bus strike.
Bloomberg was asked Wednesday on Fox5 News whether the city would seek a temporary injunction. The mayor said it's not "time to do that." He added that it's not clear whether "all the members" of the union are on strike.
Meanwhile, Parents of 152,000 New York City children who ride buses to school made plans Tuesday to use subways, carpools and other means of transportation as a school bus strike neared.
After Local 1181 of the Amalgamated Transit Union announced Monday that more than 8,000 bus drivers and matrons would strike starting Wednesday, city school officials announced plans to distribute MetroCards to students who can take city buses and subways to school and to reimburse parents who must drive or take taxis.
"We are putting plans in place to address the strike," Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said Tuesday. "We are going to get our children to school." The drivers' contracts expire on June 30, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said the city must seek competitive bids to save money. The union wants job security for existing drivers maintained under the new contracts, but the city says that the state Court of Appeals has barred it from including such provisions because of competitive bidding laws.
Local 1181 President Michael Cordiello said that's not true. "Despite public pronouncements by the mayor and the chancellor, the employee protection program is perfectly legal," Cordiello said. "How is it illegal to provide the most experienced drivers and matrons in the school buses??
Cordiello said his members' average salary is $35,000 a year. He said bus matrons start at $11 an hour and drivers start at $14 an hour. A veteran driver can make $29 an hour, Cordiello said. The 152,000 students who rely on buses include students at some private schools and Catholic schools. Of the public school students, some 54,000 are disabled.
A line of buses carrying students in wheelchairs waited outside Public School 138 in Manhattan's Chelsea section Tuesday morning. Driver Henri Michel said bus matrons have to carry some of the children from their third- or fourth-floor apartments and put them on the buses. He worried what would happen to those children if there's a strike.
"Is a yellow cab going to go upstairs and get the kids?" Michel asked. "No, a yellow cab is going to wait outside. I don't know how these kids are going to get to school." Angela Peralta of Staten Island has two daughters who take buses to two different schools. She's made car pool arrangements for one daughter and will drive the other one herself. That means she'll have to leave work early to pick her daughter up.
"I hope this doesn't go on very long," Peralta said. "I'm afraid that one of these days I'm going to walk into work and they're going to say, `You know Angela, enough is enough."' Cory Zacker said she'll get up early to take her son to school in Manhattan on the subway.
She said she can see both sides of the dispute. "I understand them wanting to keep their jobs that they've had for so long, and yet I know the city has their side of the story as well," she said.

In the Seventeenth Year of My Mother's Reign
In My Seventh Year (34 BCE)
What caused the gods to fall upon my family like starved lions in a Roman arena?
I suspect it began in my seventh year, on a day that I once considered one of the happiest of my life. It was a dazzling, sun-drenched summer morning in Alexandria-by-the-Sea. Outside the Royal Quarter, with the Mediterranean sparkling behind us and rows of date palms swaying before us, my mother and brothers and I sat alongside one another on individual thrones. We waited for my father, the great Roman general Marcus Antonius, to finish parading through the city and join us atop our grand ceremonial dais. The ceremony today would celebrate his victory over Armenia, his eastern enemy. And we --- his family and all of Alexandria --- would rejoice with him.
Even in the shade of our royal canopy, sweat trickled down my neck and back. The ostrich-feather fans the servants waved over us provided little relief. Strong breezes occasionally gusted from the Royal Harbor, cooling us with the salty bite of the sea. Despite the discomfort and the glare from the beaten silver platform at our feet, I forced myself to keep still as Mother had instructed, my eyes trained just above the horizon. Zosima, who had carefully painted my face, had forbidden me from squinting in the bright light. I was not to ruin the heavy black kohl around my eyes and eyebrows, and under no circumstances to cause the green malachite painted on my lids to flake off. I was not even to turn my head. I would follow all the rules perfectly, I swore to myself. I would make Mother proud.
But excitement and curiosity burbled in my blood as I fought to stay still, stealing side-glances whenever I could. I especially treasured my glimpses of Mother, Queen Cleopatra VII. She sat on a golden throne, looking as resplendent as one of the giant marble statues guarding the tombs of the Old Ones. Diamonds twinkled in a jungle of black braids on her ceremonial wig. She wore a diadem with three rearing snakes and a golden broad collar, shining with lapis lazuli, carnelian, and emeralds, over her golden, form-fitting pleated gown. In one hand, she held a golden ankh of life, while the other clasped the striped crook and flail of her divine rulership. Her stillness radiated power, like a lioness pausing before the pounce. It left me breathless with awe.
I sat up straighter, trying to emulate her, puffing up with pride at the realization that only Mother and I were dressed as true rulers of Egypt --- she as the Goddess Isis and I as the moon goddess, Nephthys. After all, was I not named for the moon? My brother may have been called Alexandros Helios, for the sun, but I was Cleopatra Selene, the moon. I wore a flowing dress that reminded me of the liquid metal that the scientists at our Great Library described as "living silver." A silver diadem of the moon sat atop my own thickly braided ceremonial wig. Even my sandals flashed silver.
I had never seen my beloved city so packed. By the tens of thousands, Alexandrians and Egyptians flooded the wide avenues and byways, desperate to catch a glimpse of us or of Father on his parade route. The richest of the noble Greek families sat on tiered benches in the square before us, while tradesmen, merchants, and the poor spilled into the streets, squirming and jostling for position. Some even shimmied up trees, climbed onto the shoulders of the statues of my ancestors, and scrabbled to the tops of pediments and roofs to get a better view of us. The roar of the crowd as my father approached in his chariot sounded like waves crashing against the rocks on Pharos Island, home of our Great Lighthouse. When Tata climbed onto the dais to join us --- his golden armor gleaming, his face soaked with sweat but shining with joy --- he looked like a god. The God of War!
In his deep bass, Father began: "I stand before you as Imperatorto the greatest of all civilizations, made even greater by the loyalty and fealty of its allies. Today, we remind the world that it is far, far wiser to be Rome's Friend rather than her Enemy."
Our people roared in agreement.
"The foolish King Aatavartes of Medea thought to test Rome's strength," he continued, the crowd groaning at the king's stupidity. "He sought to ally with Rome and Egypt's enemy in a greedy bid for power and riches. He thought to claim our weapons and weaken us. But he could not, for Rome and Egypt are blessed by the gods, our victory proof of the favor with which the Immortal Ones hold us . . ." I lost track of Tata's speech then and started counting the golden beads on the fan slave's broad collar. I had gotten up to forty-seven (after having to start over several times) when Father's voice cut through my reverie.
"It is time," he announced, "to make my Dispositions of War, to reward Egypt for her unceasing loyalty."
The crowd whooped and stomped. I perked up. Tata was about to bestow his gifts to us, his family. To me! My mind raced with the possibilities. Was I to receive a new crown from his plunderings? A golden chariot? Or perhaps an exotic beast, maybe even one that breathed fire? Tata turned toward my two-year-old brother, Ptolemy Philadelphos, who sat beside me. Ptolly looked just like our tata, with a head of shining dark curls, mischievous brown eyes, and the barrel-chested body of a bull. The crowds had swooned with adoration at the first sight of him swaggering in his tiny military cloak and boots.
"To my youngest son, Ptolemy XVI Philadelphos," Father bellowed as the crowd hushed in anticipation, "I grant the lands of Phoenicia, Syria, and Cilicia."
The people roared. I drew a breath, stunned. Father was giving us kingdoms? I forgot to keep my head facing forward and turned to Ptolly. He scowled furiously, waggling his chubby legs in his toddler-sized throne as the noise reverberated around us. Worried that he might begin to cry or have a tantrum, I took his pudgy hand in mine and bent toward his ear.
"Look at Tata," I instructed. "He is talking to you!"
Ptolly locked eyes with Father. When Tata grinned at him, Ptolly grinned back, showing all his little milk teeth. Then he toddled toward Tata, to the crowd's cooing delight. One of the guards intercepted him and escorted the little general off the dais.
"To my daughter, Princess Cleopatra VIII Selene," Father called, and I felt the attention of thousands land on me like a physical force --- an energy that made me sit up straighter and raise my chin, despite my racing heart. "I confer Cyrenaica and Crete, where she will rule as queen. May she rule with as much wisdom as her namesake."
I was queen! Queen of Cyrenaica and Crete! As the people thundered their approval, Tata caught my eye and winked. Forgetting protocol again, I grinned and inclined my head. This sent the crowds roaring even louder, and I heard my name chanted over and over again. I marveled at the power pulsating all around us --- power freely laid at our feet, ours for the taking.
I wanted to jump up, to hug my tata, to do anything but continue sitting like a block of marble. But, of course, I would not disappoint Mother. I held my breath, pretending to be as solemn and immobile as the giant statues of the Great Ones.
Tata turned his attention to my twin, Alexandros.
"To my son, Alexandros Helios, I bestow the kingdom of Armenia, where he will rule with his betrothed, Princess Iotape of Medea."
The crowds whooped in honor of Father's decisive victory in the region, but I refused to steal even a side-glance in my twin's direction.
The Interloper sat between us.
The black-eyed, silken-haired little princess was nothing more than a royal hostage --- a guarantee that her father the king would stay loyal to Tata. But I could find no warmth in my heart for her. The way Alexandros acted around Iotape, it was as if Hermes himself had come down from Mount Olympus and hand delivered her to him. Until she showed up, he and I had lived as if we still shared a womb --- playing, sleeping, eating, and laughing together. But now it was Iotape my twin sought out at first light and played with until dusk, when Ra's sunboat descended into the Dark Lands. I would not forgive her for taking him from me.
Still, our people continued to cheer at the announcement, celebrating the return of a strong and vital Egypt. Armenia and Cyrenaica had been under our dominion when our Macedonian-Greek ancestor Alexander the Great and our dynasty's founder, his brother Ptolemy theFirst, took Egypt nearly three hundred years ago. We Greeks had ruled ever since. And now, thanks to Tata, we were stronger than we had been in centuries.
"In addition," Tata bellowed, "I bequeath to Alexandros Helios and his betrothed rule over all the lands of Parthia!"
I barely noticed the undercurrent of bewilderment that rippled through the crowds, the whispers of, "How could the General give away lands he has not yet conquered?" After all, my tata was the best general in the world. Of course he would conquer Parthia!
Tata then turned his attention to my older half brother, Caesarion, the only son of Mother's first husband, Julius Caesar. At thirteen, Caesarion was slim and tall, and I thought he looked magnificent in the kilt and pectoral of a pharaoh, combined with his father's bloodred Roman cloak.
"Ptolemy XV Philopator Philometor Caesar," Tata called, "I name you the true heir and only son of Gaius Julius Caesar. And I name you the king of Egypt!"
From the corner of my eye I spied Caesarion lifting his chin, and my heart swelled with love and pride. My brother, the king! The king of Egypt!
But again, murmurs of unease snaked through the crowds, accompanied by whispers of a name I did not then know:Octavianus. I blinked, confused. Why should a Roman name be on our people's lips when Caesarion was rightly being named their king? I tried to make sense of the murmurs: "Isn't Octavianus Caesar's heir?" "Is Antonius challenging him?" Some in the crowd even made the sign of protection against evil. I stole a glance at Mother. She let out a breath that sounded like a hiss. And although her face kept its expression of queenly impassivity, I saw a flicker of concern settle on the tiny space between her brows. But it may have only been a trick of the fierce Egyptian light, for when I looked again, Mother's face appeared as majestic and untroubled as it always had.
Tata glanced at Mother, and his eyes crinkled before he turned back to the crowds. "To my wife, Cleopatra VII Philopator, Queen of Egypt and overlord of all the kingdoms bestowed today . . ." A rumble of cheers, shouts, and joyous exultations interrupted him, almost as if our people were thrilled to move on to what they knew and loved. The cheers swelled until I felt them vibrating in my chest bones. Mother did not move as the entire city chanted, "Isis! Isis! Hail Isis! Isis our queen!" When the wave of noise crested, Tata began again. "Today," he boomed, "I name my wife Queen of Kings, Ruler of the Two Lands, Overlord of our Children's Territories, and Partner in managing Rome's interests in the East. I have a vision of the future --- a vision of cooperation, not destruction. Borne up by the loyalty of client kings and queens, Rome cannot be stopped."
He swept his arm toward the Lighthouse. "And like Pharos that shines into the night, Egypt serves as a beacon to Rome's future. A future of partnership. A future of immeasurable wealth. A future that no man or king can rend asunder!"
The whoops of joy became deafening. Tata grinned and held both arms up in exultation. He bid Mother stand next to him. The bright Egyptian light seemed somehow concentrated on them --- I had never seen them look more godlike.
As the priests and priestesses chanted the final prayers, I wanted to jump and cheer and laugh. It was my family's proudest moment! I drank it all in --- the masses cheering; the white-robed Priests of Serapis chanting over bowls of smoky incense; the long-haired Priestesses of Isis extending their thin arms to the sky; the sweet fragrance of flowers as countless petals swirled around us, floating through the air like tiny perfumed birds. It was all so beautiful, almost magical. The Triumph of the Ptolemies! The greatest moment of our lives. But the gods would not stand for us to have such happiness for long. And so began the slow, excruciating process of our undoing.

Finger slammed: Court won't hear boy's case
The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal filed on behalf of a New Jersey boy suspended from school almost four years ago after a playground game of cops and robbers.
The decision announced last week means a ruling issued last year by a federal court will stand. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit had affirmed a decision made in 2002 by the U.S. District Court in Newark, which dismissed a lawsuit filed by the boy's parents.
Scot and Cassandra Garrick sued the Sayreville school district after their son and three other kindergartners were suspended following the March 15, 2000 incident. The children were playing during recess and, while pretending their fingers were guns, told each other, "I want to shoot you.'' Their words were overheard by some classmates, who then told teachers.
The Garricks, the only parents to bring civil action against the district, were represented by the Rutherford Institute, the Albemarle-based civil liberties group that focuses on First Amendment and religious freedom cases.
The suit sought unspecified damages and an order that would have removed the suspension from their son's school record. The child was enrolled in private school following the incident.
School officials said the ruling was "a decisive and very significant'' legal victory.
"We stressed that this was never a zero-tolerance case, and it was never a case about cops and robbers,'' Sean X. Kelly, the district's attorney in the matter, told the Home News Tribune of East Brunswick. "Instead, it's a case about school discipline during some very difficult times, and that context is important.''
Officials with the Rutherford Institute did not comment on the ruling. They claimed the boy's Constitutional rights to free speech, procedural due process, and equal protection of law had been violated by the school.

Meet The Fringe Right-Wing Commentators Who Met With Top Republicans To Push For A Benghazi Special Committee
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Republican House Speaker John Boehner and House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa reportedly met with conservative commentators Frank Gaffney and William Boykin to discuss the controversy over Benghazi. Both have a history of extreme remarks, especially against Islam.
Boehner And Issa Reportedly Met With Right-Wing Commentators On Benghazi
Top Republicans Reportedly Met With Right-Wing Commentators During May Meeting. Mother Jones reported that according to audio obtained by the blog Crooks and Liars, Frank Gaffney and Jerry Boykin reported to other members of the right-wing coalition group Groundswell that they had met with and urged Boehner and Issa to make Benghazi a top priority for congressional Republicans and establish a special committee to investigate it. From Mother Jones:
The pair reported on meetings they had held the previous night with Boehner and Issa. The two Groundswellers had encouraged the lawmakers to set up a special committee to investigate the attacks on the US facilities in Benghazi. Boykin, according to the recording, noted that Boehner had said he wanted the process "to play out" first, apparently meaning that he wasn't yet ready to step up the GOP Benghazi campaign. Boehner, Boykin recounted, had expressed the concern that were he to create such a committee, the media would cover it as a political stunt designed to bring down Obama.
Boykin, a retired general and Christian fundamentalist who caused a dust-up in 2003 when he gave a speech (while still on active duty) saying that his god was "a real god" and Allah was an "idol," told the Groundswellers that he expected the Benghazi matter to blossom into a full-blown scandal: "We've got an ugly baby here and it's going to get uglier." He maintained that "we're going to find...a huge deception."
Gaffney, a birther who has been booted out of several conservative outfits for his fiercely anti-Islam views and who has accused Obama of "submission to Islam," added, "I'm somewhat encouraged that they're taking this thing very much to heart and we really impressed upon [Boehner] that there's a lot of restiveness on the part of folks like us, and some of their donors as a matter of fact, about what's happening here." In other words, Boykin and Gaffney were issuing something of a warning to Boehner and Issa: go hard on Benghazi or risk losing financial and grassroots support.

Frank Gaffney
SLPC: Frank Gaffney Is "The Anti-Muslim Movement's Most Paranoid Propagandist." A Southern Poverty Law Center (SLPC) profile of Frank Gaffney stated that "Gaffney seems to have snapped" at some point in the decades since his service in the Pentagon and founding of the "hawkish but once-respectable" Center for Security Policy (CSP). In recent years, Gaffney has been the key proponent of the conspiracy theory alleging that the Muslim Brotherhood is working toward a U.S. government takeover. According to SLPC:
For most Americans, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) evokes thoughts of a dark time in this country's history. But Frank Gaffney Jr., the anti-Muslim movement's most paranoid propagandist, is not most Americans. In 2011, he called on Congress to revive HUAC -- this time around, to root out the Islamist operatives who, he claims, are well on their way to replacing America's democracy with a totalitarian, Shariah-based caliphate.
"When it is impracticable to engage in violence, Shariah-adherent Muslims are still obliged to engage in jihad through stealthy techniques or, in the words of the Muslim Brotherhood, 'civilization jihad,'" he said in 2011. "They are doing it through influence operations, the target set of which is comprehensive -- government, law enforcement, intelligence agencies, the military, penal institutions, media think tanks, political entities, academic institutions. And they are very aggressively targeting non-Muslim religious communities in the name of ecumenicalism." [Southern Law Poverty Center, accessed 4/22/13, via Media Matters]
Gaffney Was Banned From Conservative Conference For Accusing Prominent Conservatives Of Being Muslim Brotherhood Operatives. In 2011, ThinkProgress reported that Gaffney had been prohibited from participating at the Conservative Political Action Conference after accusing prominent conservative activist Grover Norquist and former Bush aide Suhail Khan of being Muslim Brotherhood operatives. From ThinkProgress:
Frank Gaffney has been a leading figure in the neoconservative movement for over two decades, having served in the Reagan Pentagon and founded a national security think tank. But Gaffney was absent from the panels and podiums at the year's biggest conservative conference, CPAC, despite having spoken at the annual event held this weekend for the past 15 years. Gaffney had vowed to boycott the conference this year because, he claimed, it had been infiltrated by Islamic extremists. Specifically, he pointed to Grover Norquist, the influential anti-tax activist, and Suhail Kahn, who directed Muslims outreach efforts for the Bush White House. He accuses the two of being moles for the Muslim Brotherhood.
However, ThinkProgress has learned that Gaffney was actually prohibited from participating in CPAC -- disinvited from speaking this year by conference organizers fed up with his increasingly vicious attacks on fellow conservative leaders. Indeed, Gaffney appears to have invented the entire theory about the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrating CPAC as a pretext to explain his absence from the event.
A source close to conference organizers told ThinkProgress that Gaffney was "specifically not to be invited" to speak at the conference this year because CPAC Chairman David Keene and other conservatives were "sick of him" attacking other conservatives. "The whole boycott thing was just to save face," the source said. (Gaffney did show up to CPAC to conduct some interviews, including one with ThinkProgress, but did not participate in any official capacity).
Keene confirmed to ThinkProgress that "we weren't going to invite him to speak this year," but said, "we didn't announce or tell him that." In a statement provided by a spokesperson, Keene had some strong words for Gaffney, saying he has become "obsessed with his weird belief that anyone who doesn't agree with him on everything all the time" is either "ignorant" or "dupes of the nation's enemies." [ThinkProgress, 2/15/11]
Gaffney: "The Preferred Way Of Achieving [Shariah Law] Is, As Muhammad Taught, Through Violence." In a January 23 Washington Times column, Gaffney wrote that for Muslims "the preferred way of achieving [Shariah law] is, as Muhammad taught, through violence." Gaffney also called the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) a "Muslim Brotherhood front group" that is "squealing like, well, stuck haram (or impure) pigs." [The Washington Times, 1/23/12, via Media Matters]
Gaffney Equated Advocacy For The Park51 Community Center With Advocacy For Shariah Law. In an August 26, 2010, Washington Times op-ed, Gaffney wrote that protesters at a rally against a planned Islamic community center in Manhattan -- Park 51 -- "had come together ... in informed opposition to the impetus behind that mosque: Shariah." Gaffney added: "In fact, throughout the crowd could be seen signs with just the word 'Shariah' lettered in dripping, blood-red ink." [The Washington Times, 8/26/10 via Media Matters]

William "Jerry" Boykin
NY Times: Boykin "Likened The Battle Against Islamic Militants To A Christian Struggle Against Satan." From an October 23, 2003, article in the New York Times:
General Boykin has likened the battle against Islamic militants to a Christian struggle against Satan and said at evangelical gatherings that a militant Muslim militia leader in Somalia worshiped an ''idol'' and not ''a real God.'' [The New York Times, 10/20/03, via Media Matters]
AP: Boykin Said Islamic Extremists Hate U.S. "Because We're A Christian Nation," Called Somalian Warlord's God "An Idol." From an Associated Press article:
The inquiry, by the Defense Department's deputy inspector general, found that General Boykin, deputy under secretary of defense for intelligence, had also violated Pentagon rules by failing to obtain advance clearance for his remarks, which gained wide publicity through news reports last fall.
In one appearance, according to those reports, General Boykin told a religious group in Oregon that Islamic extremists hated the United States "because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christians.''
Discussing a 1993 battle by American soldiers against a Muslim warlord in Somalia, he told an audience: "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol." [Associated Press, 8/19/03, via Media Matters]
President Bush Criticized Boykin's Remarks. The Washington Times wrote of Bush's repeated rebukes of Boykin:
President Bush yesterday reiterated his position that the comments of Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, who has spoken at Christian gatherings about a religious dimension to the war on terrorism, do not represent the views of the administration.
Citing the review of the highly decorated three-star general by the inspector general of the Defense Department, Mr. Bush said Gen. Boykin "doesn't reflect my point of view or the point of view of this administration."
It was the second time Mr. Bush has spoken on the Boykin comments amid his attempts to portray the war on terror as not being a war against Islam, but against extremists who have "hijacked a great religion."
At a White House news conference yesterday, Mr. Bush said Muslim leaders whom he met with on his trip last week to Asia asked: "Why do Americans think Muslims are terrorists?"
"That's not what Americans think," Mr. Bush said. "Americans think terrorists are evil people who have hijacked a great religion.
"We welcome Muslims in our country. In America, we love the fact that, that we're a society in which people can pray openly, or not pray at all, for that matter. And I made that point to the Muslim leaders." [The Washington Times,10/28/03]
Wash. Post: Defense Department Investigation Found Boykin's Remarks Violated Regulations. [The Washington Post, 8/19/03, via Media Matters]
Boykin Compared New York City Muslim Cultural Center To Victory Mosques In Mecca, Jerusalem. From a Christian Broadcasting Network video:
BOYKIN: When Muhammad conquered Mecca, he built a mosque on their most holy and prominent site. The message was, "Islam reigns supreme." When he conquered Jerusalem, he did the same thing. The most prominent site in Jerusalem, the most holy site. Now we are going to build a mosque at Ground Zero where once the Twin Towers were a great monument to America. Now there will be a mosque there. What's the message to that, and what's the impact that's going to have on the Islamic world? It will increase the recruiting to the Jihadist cause exponentially. [CBN, 7/30/10, via Media Matters]
Boykin: "Best Estimates Are 15 Percent" Of Muslims Worldwide "Are Radical Jihadists." In remarks Boykin made to preview a speech he later gave at How to Take Back America Conference 2009, Boykin said that "the best estimates are 15 percent of those people are radical jihadists who wake up every day believing that God has ordained them to kill infidels." [Faith2Action, 8/19/09, via Media Matters]
Boykin: "Islam Is Evil." During a February 2012 interview, Boykin said:
We love the Muslim people but we have to be very careful to understand that Islam, in a pure sense, in an authoritative sense, Islam is evil. Islam is an evil concept, because it does call for innocent blood, it calls for the subjugation of women, it calls for a brutality that is alien to us as Christians. So we do love the Muslim people, but the Bible also speaks of a time when men will call good evil and evil good, and we have to be sure that we are in fact calling Islam what it is, and in reality it is evil. [Right Wing Watch, 2/28/2012, via Media Matters]
Boykin Called Islam "A Totalitarian Way Of Life." Boykin said in 2010 that while "every Muslim should be allowed to worship freely," "Islam itself is not just a religion -- it is a totalitarian way of life," which he said "should not be protected under the First Amendment, particularly given that those following the dictates of the Quran are under an obligation to destroy our Constitution and replace it with Sharia law." [Right Wing Watch, 12/6/10, via Media Matters]

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. -
Senior Brian Six shot a 1-over par 217 to finish in a tie for 11th-place as the UC Santa Barbara golf team finished fourth at the 2004 Big West Golf Championships at Tijeras Creek Golf Course in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.
Six, who was selected Second Team All-Big West following the tournament, led a balanced UCSB attack. The Gauchos were seeded eighth prior to the tournament but were one of only four teams to break the 880 mark. In fact, the 879 was the team's best score since it shot an 869 at the John Burns Intercollegiate at the University of Hawaii in early February.
In addition to the solid finish by Six, three Santa Barbara players, Greg Wells, Joey Ramos and Michael Feuerstein, shot 222 to finish in a tie for 19th. Ramos had the lowest round of any Gaucho player. He shot a 69 in Monday's first round. Nick Telliard shot 224 and finished in a tie for 24th.
Long Beach State and UC Riverside tied for the team championship with scores of 864. The 49ers, however, earned the team title because their player, Todd Saukkola, won the individual title at 208. Cal State Northridge finished third, five shots ahead of UCSB, and Pacific finished fifth at 881, two shots behind the Gauchos.

It took a radio interview for me to update the place, clean up some cobwebs. Apologies for absence, and I'm happy to share the following updates.
Some stories! Short ones. First, at Juked, a short story called "Allegory," which got a nice longlist nod for this year's Wigleaf Top 50. Here too is "Flicker," one of a batch of Monkeybicycle one-sentence stories.
Some essays! I have been lucky to find opportunities to write about skateboarding. First is "A Very Large Puzzle," which looks at Andrew Reynolds and adulthood. Next is "Making Up Legends in the Era of Zero-Budget Skateboarding," about independent skate video productions and the local communities from which they spring. Also, I have another Point at The Point, specifically "Point 82."
Finally, a big heaping thanks to John Busbee, host of The Culture Buzz on KFMG 99.1 FM. I enjoyed our chat very much.
