Bayfront park funds may be mystery
How the city will fund the maintenance and operation of a proposed bayfront park appears to be the biggest question pending its development.
In an hourlong discussion Tuesday, the City Council appeared to largely support a new proposal drafted by city staff for the park, referred to as Bayshore Park in documents. At $5.1 million, it would be within the budget of remaining 2008 bond money, approved by voters for the realignment of Shoreline Boulevard and the creation of a park in the green space carved out by the reroute.
But how the city would handle caring for the prospective park — in the same location where Destination Bayfront was planned before voters shot down a $44 million bond — hasn't been determined. Projections provided to the council by city staff show a rise from $108,000 per year in operations and maintenance costs to $261,000 for the proposed park. With programming, the costs could reach $351,000, leaving a $243,000 gap, according to documents.
"Do we have that somewhere?" City Councilwoman Colleen McIntyre asked. "Where is that coming from?"
In reality, officials would be consciously shifting priorities, City Manager Ron Olson said, as opposed to the past, when the city would commit to capital projects without taking the costs for operations and maintenance into account.
"What we're trying to point out here is that if you decide to make this investment, there is an operating cost that has not been talked about before now," Olson said. "The answer to finding the money — I don't know where we're going to find the money. It's not been a part of the discussion."
If tax revenues increase, the council would have to commit those dollars to the maintenance of this project, he added, which could be problematic when weighing dueling priorities in the budget process.
The bulk of the operations and maintenance money would go to mowing grass, keeping restrooms clean and other basic maintenance items, such as abating graffiti, Anaya said.
The new park proposal is scaled back from previous plans shown to the council. Last month three options were shown, ranging from $5.5 million to $7.3 million in capital costs. The council made clear during the past presentation that there was no appetite to exceed available bond funds for the creation of the park.
In response to council direction, staff brought back a proposal Tuesday that would keep the costs within budget. Amenities would include additional restrooms and shade structures, special event improvements, and signage and park furniture. The old northbound lanes of Shoreline Boulevard would block traffic with bollards, and the road bed could be painted and repurposed, possibly for planters, among other ideas. Additional amenities, such as playground equipment, could be offered as sponsorship opportunities for private funding, according to the presentation.
Mayor Nelda Martinez said she would feel more comfortable finalizing the plan once a source for operations and maintenance is identified.
"We've learned our lessons there in the past," she said.
No final decisions were made. Among other requests, council members asked city staff to look into potential sources for funding operations, maintenance and the amount vendors are charged for bayfront use in cities similar to Corpus Christi. The council also asked about partnering with various organizations — including the Buccaneer Commission, the Art Center of Corpus Christi and veterans groups — for planning activities.
Staff is anticipated to return to the council with the requested information on an unspecified date for review.

Quaint Sayings of Uncle Jeff: On Mothers
Uncle Jeff ruminated on thoughts and themes from sorrow to happiness at the turn of the last century. His niece, Iva, noted nine such sayings. As a young woman of 26 in 1929, Iva was determined to collect and write down the quaint sayings of her Uncle Jeff for posterity's sake. She wrote down his homespun adages within the pages of her second-hand copy of Three Centuries of American Poetry and Prose.
On Mother's Day we look at what Uncle Jeff had to say about mothers...

Posted on 14th March 2018
Though the Beast from the East may have brought our annual house plays competition grinding to a halt, the performing arts at Caistor Grammar school cannot be stopped. On Wednesday 14th March, Our three school houses each presented us with a play that they had each been working on. These plays took us from Caistor to the depths of the sea for Ayscough's rendition of Disney's The Little mermaid, back to the good old year of 2012 for Hansard's adaptation of J.B Priestley's An Inspector Calls and then back to Caistor again for Rawlinson's version of the well loved British series of Blackadder, that even Rowan Atkinson would have been proud of. In all three plays, each house showed hard work and comic genius, but only one house can emerge from the competition victorious and for those who hadn't heard, it was… Hansard's An Inspector Calls that took the prize. The play's writers and directors Chloe Brown, Theo Holman had the entire audience in stitches with their failure of an inspector and his clueless interrogations. In second place came Ayscough with a fantastic performance of the Little Mermaid and in third place came Rawlinson with another truly fantastic performance; however, in true Blackadder fashion, I think that we can all agree that Baldrick will once again be getting the blame for this defeat… Sorry Baldrick.
Well done to everyone, it was a truly magnificent set of productions!

Airbrushing is rising in popularity with people from all distinct ages. An airbrush compressor is an ideal tool to use if you need to do any small detailed painting job. The quality of work done with a modern-day airbrush compressor is very impressive. But when buying your next compressor, make sure you know what to look for.
Read on to get some great tips about choosing the best airbrush compressor equipment. You can purchase these pieces of equipment from a well known hobby shop in Hamilton, ON.
Image Source: Google
To do a great airbrushing job, you will need a decent range of airbrushing equipment. Of course, you will need an airbrush compressor and airbrush but also consider other needs such as hoses and paint.
Not all hoses are made equal, either. Some straight hose; others are braided, and so on. So, remember to consider all of these things when buying a hose. Airbrush nozzle is an absolutely essential part of the equipment.
The nozzle will determine to a large extent the overall quality of the work. The nozzle for airbrush compressors come in many different sizes. This size can range from about half a millimeter to more than one millimeter in size.
There are nozzles that are generally used, and then there are the nozzles that are used for special projects. For example, a high-flow nozzle must be used when more flow is needed to complete the project as a common nozzle will not be able to do the job.

This weekend I culminated an 8 week series of writing classes with an all-day workshop titled "The Story Only You Can Tell". Led by Shari Caudron, it was a nice capstone to a more formal attempt at developing myself as a writer this year.
My friend Val, who is pursuing his MFA in writing at Naropa University recommended that I look into a group called Lighthouse Writers Workshop, an organization of writers based in Denver. He said I would get university level instruction for a fraction of cost – which ended up being absolutely true!
I took two 4-week introductory based courses (they are considered introductory when you don't have to do in-class critiquing), called Writing 101 and The Write Mind. Both of these focused more on writing as a craft, developing a daily practice and overcoming gremlins to your writing. I highly recommend Doug Kurtz's Write Mind – despite only 8 hours of class time, Doug managed to pack in an incredible amount of material and was an inspiring and motivating instructor.
This weekend's workshop was a great complement to the prior courses. Rather than focusing on the craft of writing, it was trying to pull out the actual story that needs to be written. The day progressed through a large number of free-writing prompts that examined ones life, passions, memories and obsessions, determining whether fiction or nonfiction was the better platform developing and introducing the main character and ultimately reducing things to the final question:
Why do I need to write this story now?
My answer: I must right this story now because I am desperately seeking creative expression of my human experience. My days are filled with time playing in this gray space between the known and the unknown that constantly unfolds in my experience, the world, my mind. I seek to bring some of these unknowns into light. Although this yearning for light begins with myself, there exists a strong sense that I am not alone, that this pursuit is a fundamental aspect of the human experience.
While writing this, I was reminded of a beautiful poem by Gary Snyder, Beat Poet and Zen Student:
How Poetry Comes to Me
It comes blundering over the
Boulders at night, it stays
Frightened outside the
Range of my campfire
I go to meet it at the
Edge of the light
One of the most profound insights that came to me was that my story may best be told through fiction, whereas prior to this weekend I had never given it a thought. Something like a modern day Siddhartha by Herman Hesse… However, I reminded myself that my focus now is my blog, finding my daily writing practice and niche in this spiritual blogging community.
My writing will clearly come from a Buddhist perspective and will continue to be about about spirituality, travel, yoga, mind, life, simple living, well-being.
My subject is spiritual evolution and my theme is something like: expanding consciousness, love and compassion. The process of self-realization, embodiment of truth, learning how to be alive.
As I just mentioned above, I am in a place in my life where I am examining my experience, the world, my mind. I have a sense that others have inklings of these experiences or passions and I want to express the sometimes inexpressible through language. Its through language that we develop a conceptual framework of the world, and these concepts can be than be analyzed and destroyed to make room for more or just pure, empty space, being, or Self.
The Buddhist theme makes sense, because ultimately I believe Buddha's basic teachings: The first of the 4 Noble Truths: Life is filled with discontent. This truth is prevalent for EVERYONE and we are running around like hamsters on a wheel trying to find a way off by going faster. But what we really need to do is simply step off the wheel. Most of us don't even know we're on a wheel and are scared senseless of not being on it. Ironically this is the only way to end this discontent and start to be alive.
Other aspects of my writing will continue to be around travel, social critique, life. These are lighter topics but ones that can be infused with more spiritual presence in a way that may allow others, if not completely to step off the hamster wheel, to at least slow down a little to a walk and catch a breath.
We looked at fears, at things that prevent us from really going for it. One of my big ones is "Nobody wants to read this stuff". And while I have a good idea about a subject and a theme, I start to get stuck in the story. I know I want it to be about profound inner transformation, yet what is that really? How does one write about it? It's this story that must evoke emotions in people to be interesting. I wonder what emotions my writing does evoke? Sometimes I see a set of opposites: Peace, stillness, joy AND Longing, frustration, self-judgment. These are often the feelings I personally have while writing.
I want to evoke the feeling that I get when I read or meet great teachers. A sense of a guide helping me navigate the world that calls on deep human mythology. A desire to answer life's highest calling, returning to the source or Self. Its hard to say the kind of reaction that might occur, as for some it will cause disgust, pushing their carefully erected boundaries of safety. For others it might be an answer, an opportunity for self-evolution and development. But if I want to evoke anything, it is definitely a questioning of everything one perceives as real.
There you have it. More questions than answers. But what would life be if you had all of the answers? Please comment on this one. As a reader of this blog, why do you read it? What type of topics and discussions would you like to see?

It's what every examination of the science of diet and health requires. For too long, authorities have demonized specific foods in an attempt to explain poor health outcomes, or anointed the latest "superfood" a panacea against disease.
That's more or less the gist of a new article in the New York Times, "Red Meat is Not The Enemy." The author suggests that experts historically "cherry-pick" data from individual studies to single out one nutrient or food in an attempt to determine its role in human health.
The Totality of Evidence
We agree that this can be a problem, and a misleading one. And that's precisely why, at the American Institute for Cancer Research, when we perform our ongoing analyses of the global evidence on the connections between cancer risk and lifestyle (read: diet, weight, physical activity), we do so using systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses. (We call it the Continuous Update Project, or CUP.) Read more… "Is Red Meat "The Enemy"? AICR's Take"

Golden Gate Dirty Thirty – Black Hawk, Colo.
In its first four years, the 50K race west of Denver attracted speedsters like Justin Ricks, Nick Clark, Joe Grant, and Ryan Burch. In its fifth year, Chris Vargo (Colorado Springs, Colo.) came to town, and he was incredibly 28 minutes faster than anyone before him. Vargo tamed the course's 8,000 feet of climbing in 4:19. With Ian Torrence's coaching, he will likely be a contender at next month's Speedgoat 50K.
Paul Hamilton (Fort Collins, Colo.), another ultra newbie who placed second at the Quad Rock 50, came in second again in 4:23. While also under the old course record, Mike Aish (Arvada, Colo.) was a distant third in 4:41. Jim Rebenack (Littleton, Colo.) was fourth in 4:48.
More From Runner's World
The women's race was a stunner as ultra newcomer Laura Tabor (Boulder, Colo.) upset Kerrie Bruxvoort (Broomfield, Colo.). Tabor's 5:26 was good for a 24-second gap on the defending champ. The two ran the race's second- and third-fastest times ever, trailing only Darcy Africa's course record.
In third at 5:27 and just 57 seconds back of Bruxvoort, Anita Ortiz (Eagle, Colo.) showed her best form in years since knee surgery. Silke Koester (Boulder, Colo.) and Helen Cospolich (Breckenridge, Colo.) ran 5:38 and 5:42 for fourth and fifth, respectively.
Peter Shellito (Boulder, Colo.) and Lindsay Krause (Littleton, Colo.) won the accompanying 12-miler in 1:44 and 1:58.
Rothrock Trail Challenge – State College, Pa.
After gaining 1,100 feet in just more than a mile to start the race, Gabe Rodriquez (Baltimore, Md.) had already separated himself from an all-star field. Near the race's halfway point, Jordan McDougal (Warrenton, Va.) had finally gained contact with Rodriquez and soon dropped the early leader. Content to race for second, Rodriquez surprisingly regained first with 4 miles to go when a depleted McDougal was reduced to walking. McDougal wasn't done though and the two seesawed in a battle for the remainder of the race, until McDougal secured the final lead on a downhill stretch to finish first in 2:41:47. Rodriquez was a close second in 2:42:43. Although 90-degree temperatures kept the course record in check, the two frontrunners claimed the race's fourth- and fifth-fastest times ever on a nasty trail the includes 5,000 feet of climbing. The race was also the seventh of the La Sportiva Mountain Cup and McDougal vaulted back into first in the series rankings.
Matt Byrne (Scranton, Pa.) was 12 minutes off the lead pace, finishing third in 2:55:02. Byrne moved to third on the Mountain Cup leaderboard. Course record holder and reigning three-time champ Jacob Loverich (State College, Pa.) reportedly started the race, but appears to have dropped prior to finishing.
A year ago Ashley Moyer (Oley, Pa.) was 18 minutes back of race winner Megan Kimmel (Silverton, Colo.). This year it was much closer. Kimmel used a strong finish to secure a slim 20-second win over Moyer in 3:13:18. This marked Kimmel's fifth Mountain Cup race of the year and with no other females completing even two races at this point, she has the $5,000 prize locked up. This will be Kimmel's fifth straight series win. Prize money does go five deep however, so women are encouraged to make a run for some easy cash as the 2013 series winds up.
Meira Minard (State College, Pa.) ran 3:32:19 for third.
Pocatello 50 – Pocatello, Idaho
Official results were not posted at press time, however according to unofficial reports on Twitter and Facebook, Mike Wolfe (Missoula, Mont.) and Joelle Vaught (Boise, Idaho) set new course records. Wolfe heads to Italy's Lavaredo Trail 100K later this month before joining Hal Koerner in a fastest-known-time attempt on California's John Muir Trail in July. The pair is targeting the supported record and hopes to take it in less than three days. Vaught, with three recent 50s in her legs, will race at Western States 100 in four weeks.
Jason Schlarb (Boulder, Colo.) won the accompanying 60K.
Full results (when available).
The North Face Endurance Challenge 50-miler – Sterling, Va.
Michael Wardian (Arlington, Va.) continues regaining his old form after a long layoff with injury. Finishing in 6:45, Wardian was just more than a minute faster than Jordan McDougal's winning time the 2012 race. Eric Senseman (Madison, Wis.) finished in 6:50, part of a busy spring racing season that included the American River 50 and Ice Age Trail 50. Shaun Burke (Chicago) trailed in third at 7:10. Canada's Christina Clark took the women's crown in 7:53, almost an hour faster than the competition.
Jungle Ultra - Peru
Ian Sharman (Walnut Creek, Calif.) headed to Peru for 230K of tough jungle trails and mountain roads spread over five days. Sharman won the race's first stage, finished second on days two and three, but then fell to sixth on day four and did not start the race's final stage. His Twitter feed indicates that he's suffered the first hint of a recurring knee injury. With his Grand Slam attempt – completing the Western States 100, Vermont 100, Leadville 100 and Wasatch 100 in a single summer – Sharman's drop from the Peruvian stage race could prove a sound decision come June 29.
Next Weekend
A $12,000 prize purse will draw a strong field to the inaugural Cayuga Trails 50 in Ithaca, N.Y. First and foremost among entrants is Sage Canaday (Boulder, Colo.). Assuming even a good recovery following TransVulcania, Canaday should be in strong contention to collect the $2,500 first-place prize. Matt Flaherty (Chicago), Yassine Diboun (Portland, Ore.), Jordan McDougal (Warrenton, Va.), and Brian Rusiecki (South Deerfield, Mass.) will challenge for a podium position, with Flaherty in particular benefiting from the race's relative lack of climbing, just 6,500 feet. Prize money goes four-deep and other challengers include Adam Hill (Ontario, Can.), Dave James (Scottsdale, Ariz.), Denis Mikhaylov (Fort Lee, N.J.), Ben Nephew (Mansfield, Mass.), and Leigh Schmitt (Healdsburg, Calif.).
Cassie Scallon (Boulder, Colo.) has gone undefeated at the 50-mile distance this year with wins at Lake Sonoma and Ice Age, and she'll likely add to that streak in Ithaca. Nikki Kimball (Bozeman, Mont.), Debbie Livingston (Bolton, Conn.), Krissy Moehl (Boulder, Colo.), Sandi Nypaver (Nederland, Colo.), Rachel Nypaver (Hudson, Ohio), Ragan Petrie (Arlington, Va.), and Amy Rusiecki (South Deerfield, Mass.) are all expected to compete.


text: What would you do with an extra paycheck? Ever wish or feel like if you just had one or two more paychecks you could get your finance on track? Well you are in luck this month, if you are on a biweekly pay schedule you will have that extra paycheck you have been wishing for. The month of May has five weeks so many of us will receive three paychecks instead of two this month. The larger question is what you are going to do with your extra paycheck. Are you going to pay bills, treat yourself, blow the check on who knows what or use the check to help build your financial future? I would like to persuade and encourage you to do the later. Not only will using this extra check to help build your financial future reduce your stress today, it will also ensure that you will have a financially stress free future. Option 1 – Emergency fund Having an emergency fund of at least $1,000.00 can take the stress out of many situations. When we are less stressed we are able to focus and make better decisions in all areas of life. For most having an emergency fund gives you a sense of security. When the car breaks down or when something goes wrong you will be able to manage and solve the problem knowing you have your emergency fund to fall back on. Option 2 – Paying off This may not be an option that you like. However the truth is when you pay off debt you free up money to that can be used on things that you like. The key to making this work for your is not make any new debt. This may mean freezing, cutting up or closing your credit card accounts to make sure you don't end up back in debt, however it will be well worth it. Option 3 – Contributing to retirement The younger you are the more this will work in your favor. Let the magic of compound interest work for you. When you contribute to your retirement compound interest is your friend. If you don't have a retirement account opening an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) would be a great way to use the extra paycheck. If you opened a Roth IRA your money would really be working for you because not only would you get the benefits of compound interest but your money would also grow tax-free. Now I understand if you can't commit to doing any of this this month. The great news is that the paychecks in one month phenomenon happens at least twice a year, so mark your calendar for October and make a plan to make your money work for you instead of the other way around.

President's Message
Dear AFP-GLAC members and friends,
Your health and well-being are the first priority so we have re-evaluated our position on chapter events and gatherings. The situation regarding COVID-19, the novel coronavirus, has changed dramatically since my 3/6 communication to everyone. Based on recommendations from the California Health Department and the Governor's office, in addition to the message conveyed via the conference call I attended with LA County Department of Public Health, we made the decision to postpone the March 12 Young Professional event and the upcoming April 7 Advanced Executive Forum. Nonetheless, don't be disappointed - you won't be void of educational opportunities in April. We are working closely with AFP Global to provide webinar type fundraising sessions and we already have a Membership Webinar scheduled for April 22. We are a sound, ethical fundraising community supporting the missions of Greater Los Angeles nonprofits, no matter how we meet and gather!
We have a new position on the board this year, focusing on our external audience –marketing, public relations and social media. Felicity Palmer is chairing this committee and you will see increased activity on the horizon with our Facebook and LinkedIn accounts as well as other outreach opportunities.
What else is in store for March? Soon you will hear from Ethics Chair, Mike Driebe. Ethics is part of everything we do and is directly responsible for the money we raise and the impact we create. See https://afpglobal.org/ethicsmain/code-ethical-standards for a refresher.
This year I have the privilege of serving on AFP Global's Women's Impact Initiative --- https://afpglobal.org/news/womens-impact-initiative
A key part of the Women's Impact Initiative was the Women's Impact Summit, which followed the AFP LEAD Conference last October in Phoenix. The Summit gathered a plethora of fundraisers to discuss key issues and challenges facing women in the fundraising profession.

Trae Young, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound senior guard from Norman (Okla.) North High who is ranked No. 14 in the recruiting Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, listed Kansas University among his six finalists Wednesday night on Twitter.
Others on the list: Kentucky, Washington, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.
Young tells Rivals.com he plans to visit all six schools, likely announcing this winter.
Young's dad, Rayford, was a standout guard at Texas Tech. Trae's AAU teammate and good buddy, Michael Porter Jr., recently committed to Washington after Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar (Porter's godfather) hired Porter's dad as assistant coach.
Of KU, Young told Rivals: "To have the chance to play somewhere like Allen Fieldhouse is a great opportunity. Coach (Bill) Self uses and develops guards really well and gets them ready for the league."
Of OU, he said: "Coach (Lon) Kruger and I have a great relationship and have continued to build on it these past two years. And I live in Norman, so playing close to home would be great."
Of Kentucky, he said: "I love the way coach Cal (John Calipari) goes about things. I really like that it's about business and he puts the team in a spot to compete for a championship each year."
And of Washington, he said: "I've developed a great relationship with coach Romar and really got a chance to talk to Markelle Fultz about why he committed there and also continuing to play with Mike would be great too since we already know each other so well."
Rivals.com's story by Eric Bossi and Krysten Peek is available at http://rvls.co/2a1aay6
Chaundee Brown has KU on list: Chaundee Brown, a 6-5, 190-pound senior combo guard from First Academy in Orlando, Fla., who is ranked No. 64 in the recruiting Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, recently received scholarship offers from KU and Indiana, according to Zagsblog.com.
He's also considering Georgia Tech, Xavier, Maryland, Memphis, Central Florida, Texas Tech, LSU, Florida, Wake Forest, Southern California, Georgia and UConn.
"They (KU coaches) are saying that I could step in and play because Frank Mason is leaving," Brown told Zagsblog.com. "I don't want to go and red-shirt somewhere or sit or anything like that, I want to play right away."
He averaged 22 points and six assists at the recent Nike Peach Jam.
KU looks at Christian Brown: Christian Brown, a 6-6 sophomore forward from A.C. Flora High in Columbia, S.C., has been scouted heavily by KU this summer, Zagsblog reports. He has received offers from Auburn, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Florida State, Oklahoma State, Georgia, Tennessee and others.
"I'm working on my shot a lot," Brown told Zagsblog. "I'm gaining confidence by crashing the boards and breaking down defenders. My game is slashing, so I'm working on getting easy putbacks down low as well."
Troy Brown to visit again: Troy Brown, a 6-6 senior shooting guard from Las Vegas Centennial High who is ranked No. 10 in the Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, will be a return visitor to Late Night in the Phog, he tells Jayhawkslant.com.
Brown's sister, Jada, enters her senior year on KU's women's team. He is considering KU, Arizona, Arizona State, California, Duke, Georgetown, Louisville, N.C. State, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M;, Texas Tech, UCLA, UNLV, USC, Utah and others.
Suzi Marshall
Really nice to read a GB recruiting summary. I hope something is in the works for you, especially with the LJW. I hate the thought tomorrow will be the last day to read your work on the flagship Lawrence, KS/University of KS publication.
I have never been able to properly judge HS guard talent. So many of those guys, especially guards, can look like world beaters in HS but can't seem to operate in the elite college arena. Then you have guys like Mason and Graham, who will constitute one of the best NCAA backcourts this season who didn't draw any notice in HS.
Jeff Emerson
So Trae has one of three choices: (1) Get buried in the middle of the Kentucky roster; (2) Play in the who dat Pac-12; OR (3) Play for the perpetual Big 12 Champions.
Mike Greer
When you put it that way. Seems so simple doesn't it?
Benz Junque
Trae wouldn't be buried in the middle of the Kentucky roster. Get real. He'd be their starting PG assuming that Fox goes pro. If he doesn't then he'd probably be starting along side him. Same as he has at Kansas if Graham stays or goes.
Aaron Paisley
Young is either staying home or going to Washington.

Today is the anniversary of Judy Garland's birthday. I'm a latecomer to Garland fandom, but I think I've made up for lost time in the last couple of years. It doesn't hurt that she made three movies with Gene Kelly, of course. Since I've got a few major films still to catch up on, I didn't want to do a "favorite movies" post; obviously, since she's known for her singing talents, a "favorite routines" post was the way to go. Here they are in chronological order, and before you ask: no. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" isn't one of them. Enjoy!
For Me and My Gal (For Me and My Gal, 1942)
This is the first Garland/Kelly collaboration, and I just think it's so charming. They're both young and gorgeous and have such great chemistry. If you've spent any time on this blog you've already seen this multiple times, but I hope you won't mind watching it again. I never do!
The Trolley Song (Meet Me in St. Louis, 1944)
Meet Me in St. Louis is a great specimen of Judy Garland's work. It was directed by Vincente Minelli, who married Garland shortly after making the movie. I think that viewers fall in love with Garland through Minelli's lens, probably just as he was. "The Trolley Song" became a Garland standard for many years, and so it just barely edged out "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" for this list.
We're a Couple of Swells (Easter Parade, 1948)
Judy's co-star this time around is Fred Astaire (stepping in for an injured Gene Kelly), and here's my favorite number from this adorable movie. I love that it's not the usual, glamorous kind of thing, and that both Garland and Astaire embrace the fun. Garland's facial expressions and little added mannerisms prove what an amazingly talented and dedicated performer she was.
I Don't Care (In the Good Old Summertime, 1949)
These last two picks are straight Judy with no help, and she nails them both. I just love this song, and it's a major showcase for Garland's singing. She looks like an absolute knock-out in that red dress, too, and a couple of shots of Van Johnson looking super-handsome in a tux certainly don't go amiss. I highly recommend this movie, which is another version of "The Shop Around the Corner." Johnson and Garland have fabulous chemistry, and as always, it's such a cute story.
Get Happy (Summer Stock, 1950)
Summer Stock is the last movie that Judy Garland and Gene Kelly made together, and it's the last musical she made for MGM. At this point, her many problems were working against her, and I think that seeps into the movie in some ways. It's very inconsistent: there are some great numbers, but it lacks the sparkle of earlier Garland performances. The "Get Happy" number doesn't entirely seem to fit the film, in some ways, but it's such an electrifying moment that I always come back to it as a favorite. It's a testament to Garland's huge talent that even with all of her issues, she still commands the screen here.
Happy birthday, Judy!

Grouping in the Sharks game from Saturday, Nov. 30, this was a great week to watch the Ducks and gauge them by their competition. I wanted to tackle some impressions I gathered from each team.
Systemically, all of these teams play more or less a similar system. Defensively, all opt for funneling the puck out and not collapsing. Of all the teams, I have to say the Kings probably have the tightest defensive zone play and breakout - they close gaps quickly and tend to have the quickest/cleanest transition. Drew Doughty helps with that so much.
The transition game is where there's some variety. San Jose plays a high pressure, speed game. But they have age in there, and they tend to drop off executing it toward the end of periods. St. Louis probably has the most similar game in transition as the Ducks, with a combination of clean zone entries and dump-ins. Chicago was delightful to watch - and pay attention to other teams aping this in the future - as they absolutely refused to dump the puck. There were several times they regrouped outright in the neutral zone, even with teammates changing. Most teams dump to change. Los Angeles is the big-time weird one because they play a highly skilled dump-in game. They send pucks deep a lot.
Offensively, things return to more or less the same system. All of the teams "play to net," which is a sort of Red Wing-ian concept of looking for a play or, with nothing available, putting the puck on the net. The Blues, Blackhawks, and Ducks leave open the cycle (so softer dumps to corners) more than the Sharks and Kings in terms of non-net plays. The Kings play straight to net by design though, with very low shots from literally everywhere intended to generate rebounds - it's very consistent with the dump-and-chase style they play. It also explains why they dominate possession but tend to have trouble scoring goals. (Speaking of, READ THIS IMMEDIATELY IF YOU LOVE DUSTIN PENNER AND HATE THE KINGS.)
Oh, and another aspect: the Kings get away with a lot more dump-and-chase because their defense activates everywhere - weak side, strong side, no matter. Pinches galore. The Hawks and Blues tend to be more conservative with their defense until the situation demands it. But all of these teams tend to generate good offense from four-in-the-zone, which means there's usually one defenseman and/or a partner or forward out high. The Ducks and Sharks seem to be right in the middle of the Kings hyper-aggressiveness and the Hawks/Blues more conservative approach - at least in the games I watched this year so far.
I think the Ducks stack up remarkably well with all these teams. Anaheim has the size to hang with Los Angeles and St. Louis. They have the speed to hang with San Jose and Chicago. The systems in use favor the type of game that has seen more consistent success of late, with rolling four lines and putting pucks on net - moving the puck, essentially.
This was a fun week to watch.
I don't need to make this post any longer by messing with this too much this week. I did change Penner's rating though.
Jakob Silfverberg 4P-Met
Mathieu Perreault 4P-Met
Cam Fowler 6P-Met
Dustin Penner 6P-Met > 5P-Met
Of late, it's looked like Pens has been battling basic puck handling, including pass receiving.
Ben Lovejoy 5P-Met
Andrew Cogliano 6P-Met
Sami Vatanen 2P-Met
Hampus Lindholm 4P-Met
Bryan Allen 3P-Met
Daniel Winnik 4P-Met
Ryan Getzlaf 6P-Met
Corey Perry 6P-Met
Teemu Selanne 2P-Met
Saku Koivu, C 3P-Met
The team and fanbase has made much about secondary scoring of late. Coming into week 10, the team had some stretches when the top line was the sum total of offense, prompting many message board arguments and tirades. Certainly, relying solely on two or three sources for most of the offense is bad. We all know this, we all agree.
Secondary scoring is like this magical thing that people assume is easy. The conversation then becomes "if only the coach would..." or "if only our GM would..." because scoring is apparently so easy, it's an organizational flaw that's preventing it from happening more. Initially, I think I was just going to speak to that, but in thinking about it, in writing up some notes, another idea broadsided me entirely.
Tim Jackman's a pretty ok guy. Yup, that's the issue that distracted me. But first, let me wade into this some.
Consistent scoring is a talent composed of many smaller basic hockey skills - slapshot, wristshot, passing, just whatever. You get the point. The aspects or smaller skills of scoring overall can be practiced. The talent of scoring itself can't really be practiced - it happens, or it doesn't. Putting all of the practice together into consistent production is extraordinarily difficult and is why players like Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry end up making $8 million-plus. It's really, really hard to score often in the NHL. (And as players have said before, scoring in practice is nothing like scoring in games.)
This brings up a really big concept, consistency, and how it relates to the game. Last week, I wrote about confidence some. If you carry that through, displaying one's playing ability consistently is how a guy earns his coach's confidence. That is how a guy gets on the ice, and weeell here's where this topic can explode into hugeness...
Consistent scoring is an elite talent. I'm going to generalize now, but it seems that most teams have three or four elite scorers. I'm talking about players who can independently create their own points. The players who are alongside those scorers will also get points, but that's more production generated by the same elite few and not true secondary scoring.
The perception then is that a coach has the remaining roster spots available to supply secondary scoring. And that's the explosion, because...well. Sigh. Let me try to do this in a respectable amount of space.
Anyone can score. There's no restriction to it. Every coach, at every level, will tell every player: if you have an open shot at goal, and you aren't passing up an equally open chance to a teammate, take the shot. Not confident in your shot? Go to the net. The concept that it is incumbent on an NHL coach to somehow urge more scoring away from those who best exhibit the ability to do it with line combinations alone is farfetched - the basic "shoot the puck" mantra works equally to everyone on any line on the ice, and some guys are just better at it than not.
Taking aside those elite scorers then, a coach is trying to ice the best roster to manage space. A coach has his scorers already, what he needs around them are people who make their ability to score easier - who may also score on their own. That's always the hope, because that's what secondary scoring really is: scoring that comes from the depth players there to fulfill other functions. But counting on them to score consistently is not "the plan," because you can't plan randomness (which scoring tends to be to those who aren't elite).
The plan is space management - on offense, create space; on defense, erase space. Boom, hockey, ladies and gents.
I'm out.
Ok, so space. Think about the game for a second: there are 10 skaters on the ice at any given time, and there's one puck. One guy has the puck, and one guy is probably contesting the puck, which means eight other guys are skating on the ice away from the puck. That's a stat for you: 80% of the game is off-puck play.
What a coach is looking for in his non-scoring slots is consistent play away from the puck. Most of the guys at the NHL level can, once they get the puck, do something with it - make a pass, carry it into a zone, dump it to the wall, shoot it on goal. They might not do it particularly well (cough cough Brad Staubitz), but they can do it. What makes a guy "consistent" to a coach therefore is his ability to play within the system of space management set out. This includes getting open in space (for a pass) but also little things like cutting off the wall on a breakout or pinching into the middle to force the puck outside or going into a 50-50 puck along the wall and tying it up or winning it outright.
The trick with secondary scoring is that, if the guys are playing to the system well enough and winning the necessary battles, chances to score will happen. I used to hear it called "blue collar goals," the ones derived from hard work. The coach and his staff are watching for this sort of consistent effort away from the puck far more than you are or I am watching at home, because generally we're watching the 20% of the game surrounding the puck.
As a fanbase, we see a guy with blazing speed, some nifty moves, and a quick release, like Emerson Etem, and think, "he should be playing infinity minutes with the very elite so he can score all the goals!" (I love Etem, so that'd be neat.) But to generalize again: often times, the guys who display this offensive flair or potential are the guys who were able to rely on it for so much of their young careers, and they didn't round out the "blue collar" stuff.* And so they slot second, or third, or fourth on the list of options the coach has available because he's responsible for the team succeeding, not the individual, and he needs guys who are working hard to create their own chances and not just out there waiting for chances.
* This is a generalization. I hear it about a lot of young players who succeeded in scoring roles in junior/minor hockey but haven't brought that "touch" up to this level. Whenever I hear of someone who supposedly has the offensive gift, the first thing I watch is where the shot comes from - is the player creating it or is the playing just finishing it? Players who create their own chances have figured it out, more often than not; players who wait to finish what others set up are too one-dimensional and need to improve their overall game. (Like it was said to me as a youth, it's "space management.")
That's not to say players like Etem do that definitively, but when we hear Boudreau say the player is going back to the AHL for consistency and/or development, this is generally the kind of thing that's being referenced. The coach needs to know what he has. One thing Carlyle always said that I liked is, "you're here to win. This isn't a development league." But in keeping with my overall train of thought, when we're up in arms about the weirdest roster decisions - the "why is Palmieri on the fourth line" and "why is Patrick Maroon sitting for Matt Beleskey" or whatever - we need to keep in mind that there's a plan there beyond just "work ethic" that involves constructing this sort of consistent effort every game.
Usually, coaches just want consistent play off the puck and successful space management, or whatever Boudreau might term it to his lads. I want to use a pretty simple comparison here. Lots of us like Kyle Palmieri's shot. We want to see it more, and we want to see it score goals more. As such, we argue back and forth about his usage and minutes and centermen on any given night, or just whatever. Now, lots of us like Andrew Cogliano's overall game but recognize his shot is terrible. "If only he could pick a corner" is a sentiment I've read here and elsewhere. And that's true: if Cogs could finish, he'd be a sensation.
But lost in all of it is that Cogliano continues to get into a position, game after game, of shooting the puck - maybe not more in terms of sheer numbers, but he gets more quality scoring chances than almost anyone on the team not on the top line. It has nothing to do with who his center is. It has nothing to do with the quality of his competition - which is usually pretty tough. It has nothing to do with whatever minutes he ends up with. At some point in nearly every game, Cogliano will create space for himself or for his linemates to try to score.
Andrew Cogliano is a very effective space manager. He plays his position well in every zone, and the simple act of doing that tends to end up creating chances for him to score. If Cogliano had Palmieri's shot (or if Palmieri had Cogliano's overall game), BOOOOOOOM, imagine the scoring that would ensue. And that's why a coach isn't giving Cogliano-like minutes to Palmieri - yes, the latter has a better shot, but the former ends up playing a better game. At some point, the coach wants all his players to play that way, because if the ones with the killer shots do so, scoring will occur. That's a complete game.
So why Tim Jackman? And why him in a secondary scoring blog post? First, understand: a sixth round pick isn't really a significant asset. Second, understand: without a sixth, someone lower in the standings than Anaheim would have claimed him on waivers from Calgary. I did a little research on him right when we grabbed him. What I read about him was that he can skate well - indeed, he's faster than we thought - and he doesn't play stupidly. In fact, he's actually a functional player who was just beat out by similar, younger talent on the Flames roster, and as we know, controllable assets are preferred in this day and age. His simple, intelligent play is important. He doesn't take out-of-position (or stick) penalties because he's never really out of position. His position/placement is real simple, and he plays it well considering what else exists out there in the league.
Now, consider the above lengthy piece of beautiful art (my post). Boudreau has his scorers. He has his complimentary players who he thinks can help score. He has his checkers. He has his defense. He has an overabundance of goalies. And he still has a few roster slots to fill, because scoring is not the role of every player on the ice. Running contrary to trying to get secondary scoring, but not contrary to Logic (which I'm the master of), every team needs players who excel at their roles away from the puck in order to make the players with the puck better. SO MANY ITALICS HERE, RIGHT?
Jackman is one such player. He's a puck hound, dawg. (That was for Spade.) His role on the ice is to create space in all areas of the ice. And in a pinch, his job is to go get the puck if that's needed. It isn't about hitting, or fighting, even though those things are involved. Players who fill the role he does are there to improve the flow of the game by virtue of disruption - opposing players note the guys on the ice who aren't there to do fancy stuff with the puck. I know I did! Nobody's really afraid to "get hit," but a lot of skilled guys avoid contact whenever possible because going through someone with the puck is harder than going around. So this is a bit of that, and with Jackman's skating prowess he can probably catch most NHLers to lay the body on or get in the way. But this is more than that.
If Jackman carries the puck into the zone and has a lane, he's going to drive straight to the net and "shoot" but really he's just going to drive as hard into the goalie as the other team will allow. (Ah, hockey, where that's legal and awesome.) Defending THAT tactic is different than defending someone legitimately trying to score. So say he runs the goalie - ok, he'll fight someone. But the goalie's still probably a bit pissed or rattled or whatever. Point, Jackman. Nobody on the opposition wants a goalie-run to happen, and they know he's not going to deke them and score, so they'll most likely step up on him, close his lane.
In that event, he just dumps the puck, having drawn a man to him (creating space). Because the rules of the day dictate a minimal amount of obstruction is allowed, Jackman can continue to pursue "the puck" (but really just a hit), unless he's been canceled out. But he's bigger, so knocking him out of the play is hard, and even then, he's still drawn his man. That's also why his skating is key, because normally a big oaf dumping the puck isn't a big deal - turn, beat him to the puck, retrieve. But Jackman can keep up, so that race isn't assured. That defender still has to mark him, which is, again, space conceded. So point still gained to Jackman.
Pair a puck hound with a shooter like Palmieri, or a speedster like Cogliano, who may suddenly find a puck in a corner with only one defenseman on him instead of one plus a center. Ah, SPACE. The possibilities are endless. (This is why a lot of coaches like forward pairs - usually one center and one puck-capable winger. That third slot can be a third puck-capable guy or a hound, and the chemistry between the pair stays. Some lines benefit mightily from having a hound on it. We see that with Getzlaf and Perry. Penner is that hound, he's also just a nice puck-capable guy - so, bonus.)
While this is just one basic concept of a guy like Jackman's usage, perhaps it can help illustrate why he might draw into the lineup on some nights. Anyone willing to play a simple game can fulfill Jackman's role. But that's where roles and development come into play. Clearly, the organization sees legitimate skill in players like Devante Smith-Pelly, Etem, Palmieri, and even Patrick Maroon. When they draw in, they can play these types of off-puck minutes, trying to create space for the puck carriers.
But you never want to stick guys with skill into that slot long-term, because like I mentioned before, games are the only times to really practice trying to score as a skill. Get out of practice long enough, and it's way harder to do it when the team turns around and asks that of you down the line. Likewise, filling the role of a hound while trying to score is tougher for younger guys to do all at once - but a good example of this kind of player is Matt Beleskey, who is a beast and a pleasure to watch.
So if the team controls a young asset, the easiest way to manage it all is to let them play bigger minutes, developing all those scoring and non-scoring talents, in the minors or wherever (some orgs let guys stay in Europe) while having guys like Jackman on board to play the simple, off-puck minutes most coaches want present on the roster.
Here concludes my long-winded approval of the Tim Jackman acquisition. Oh, and about secondary scoring coming more from strong team play in every zone.

WHERE: Royal Albert Hall
SETLIST: Queen Of Swords; Seasons Of Love; Don't Rain On My Parade; Everybody Knows; Cake/Black Dog; I'm Not That Girl; Wind Beneath My Wings; Defying Gravity; I Do; Bridge Over Troubled Water; Rock Steady; No Day But Today; Dear Prudence/Do You Want To Build A Snowman?; For Good; Let It Go; I See You; Ev'ry Time I Say Goodbye
We've been working away in Liverpool and it's taken us four hours to travel several hundred miles to make it here with a rucksack shortly after curtain up.
- Read on for reasons including how Idina Menzel charms after an awkward start
Turning up to a gig with a rucksack is never advisable and, given recent events, we can understand absolutely the bemusement of security guards as they rummage through our assortment of dirty clothes and toiletries. Why on earth would anyone bring these to a gig?
Less forgivable is the refusal to allow entry to the hall without first putting the rucksack in a cloakroom, all of which are locked because the staff are on a break. Eventually a staff member takes pity on us, a cloakroom is opened, we are given a ticket and told: 'Hopefully you'll be able to pick this up at the end'. Indeed!
Inside the hall and it's clear this is a show with Vegas aspirations but on a fraction of the budget. Odd because we're paying arena-sized ticket prices – and some.
Gosh, there's a lot of chat. A ripple of applause for Menzel's acknowledgement of recent tragedies in London and Manchester; we learn our hostess is 46, divorced, a mother and recently engaged.
She spies an empty front row seat, asks whether anyone is on their own, finds someone and invites him to the empty spot. It's a nice moment, far less awkward than when she ridicules a mother for stifling her grown-up daughter's independence by asking on her daughter's behalf whether the daughter can have her picture taken with the star.
The setlist is a curious mix of show tunes, unmemorable self-penned songs and covers appearing to have little to connect them other than Menzel's own enthusiasm for them.
As we're starting to despair, we're presented with a very literal take on Wind Beneath My Wings (think multiple wind machines and Menzel clutching giant tea towels to accentuate the billowing) segueing into big hit Defying Gravity which has the previously comatose audience leaping to its feet.
The patter improves: there's a genuinely moving anecdote about her big break in musical Rent and by the time we get to Let It Go from Disney movie Frozen she's established such a rapport with the crowd that what happens next is far more entertaining than it might sound.
'Are there any children in the audience?' she asks. And, suddenly, a dozen or so of them are lifted on to the stage by parents or dropped from barriers to get there. We expect the staff who've made our presence in the hall such a trial to appear shrieking about 'health and safety' but instead Menzel sits with the kids offering them the microphone to sing several lines each of the classic.
One girl is even dressed as the ice princess from the movie and replies: 'A box' hilariously when asked where she has come from.
Menzel explains she's recently had laryngitis and there's clearly still something not quite right with her voice. It's only on the final encore, a brilliant take on Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye delivered sprawling on a piano, that it becomes clear both what an entertainer she can be – and also, perhaps, that this is exactly the sort of jazzy and grown-up material that best suits her impressive voice.

This weekend was a great one!
had pizza from one of my favorite places, Casey's! Yes, a convenience store in this area, but they also make some the best pizza around!
stocked up on my favorite Valentine's candies. After getting a text message from my dad requesting I deliver his some cherry hearts the next time I come home, I figured it was time I bought myself some of the seasonal candy that is out this time of year. I have eaten these every Valentine's Day for as long as I can remember. A must-have this time of year in our house when I was growing up.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III on Friday night after our pizza and a walk with the dogs. A couple weekends ago we watched the new remake that was just released. That had Tim and I reminiscing over the old ones from the early 90's. A search on Amazon and I found the set! Last weekend we watched I and II, and this weekend we finished up the series. Such good memories! Josh was more than obsessed with the Ninja Turtles when we were little. So fun watching the movies again. Annnnd I found the cartoons on Amazon Prime!
saw a dance show, Diavolo, at Des Moines Performing Arts Saturday night. My friend Summer invited Kaydin and I to the show and we happily took her up on her offer. I love seeing shows there and a dance themed one was right up Kaydin's alley.
And that was our great weekend with some pretty awesome January weather! Topping out around 45-50 degrees, I will definitely take it!

Adam Lerner, the acclaimed director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, will step down in June after a decade-long tenure in which he built an international reputation as a risk-taking, influential and financially savvy leader in a fast-growing creative hub.
"My current contract expires in June and the museum is in a really healthy position," Lerner said Monday. "I've managed to take it from $10 million in debt to very stable financially with a significant endowment. Our building is humming with energy, we've doubled our visitations and we have incredible momentum."
The museum's board has not selected a replacement, but Lerner said he would make himself available to help through the search process.
Lerner, 52, joined MCA Denver in 2009 as the Mark G. Falcone Director and Chief Animator — the latter title a hint of the playful yet professional tone he has cultivated there. He won the job after gaining attention as founder of the Laboratory of Art and Ideas at Belmar (aka The Lab) from 2004 to 2009 and, before that, as the master teacher for modern and contemporary art at the Denver Art Museum and the curator of the Contemporary Museum, Baltimore, according to MCA Denver.
With a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and a Smithsonian fellowship under his belt, Lerner has spent the last decade mixing high- and lowbrow art, recruiting and showcasing groundbreaking local and international artists, and harnessing the youthful energy around him to increase the status and revenues at MCA Denver.
As of this month, MCA Denver is on track to see 100,000 visitors in 2018 — more than double its annual attendance a decade ago. With a relatively modest budget of $5.2 million and 23 full-time staff members, the museum under Lerner has developed exhibitions featuring renowned artists such as Marilyn Minter, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Senga Nengudi. Those exhibitions have been exported to 26 museums around the world, the MCA Denver said.
Lerner also worked with MCA Denver's board to restructure $10 million in pre-existing debt to reinvest in exhibitions and other programs. By the time Lerner steps down in June, MCA Denver will have raised all the funds for its current $17.5 million campaign, which began in 2016, he said. Architectural firm David Adjaye and Associates, which designed the museum's sleek building at 1485 Delgany St., is working on an upcoming remodel that will tap those funds.
"The reason I stayed in this job so long is that I have an incredibly supportive board of trustees," Lerner said. "They push me but they also support me, and that's really rare for a museum to give such freedom to develop a position while being rigorous and giving me feedback about it."
Mike Fries, chairman of MCA Denver's board, praised Lerner's "unparalleled vision and willingness to take risks."
"Adam has been instrumental not only in making MCA the heart of Denver's cultural community," Fries said in a news release, "but also in rethinking the role of a traditional art institution by launching groundbreaking programs that are now mimicked around the country."
Lerner's popular "Mixed Taste" lecture series — which pairs wildly and often hilariously incompatible subjects ("Crop Circles and Prenups") — has been adapted nationally, and there's an entire chapter in the college-taught 2016 book "Creating the Visitor-Centered Museum" that studies MCA's experiments and successes.
The museum in 2017 also won a $400,000 grant — its largest-ever — from the New York-based Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to train arts professionals from across the country on MCA Denver's innovative practices.
"When I see museums using language that's a little bit more casual, that sometimes even has a little bit of irony in it, I'd like to think that MCA Denver opened up the space for that," Lerner said of the material the museum puts out — including a dozen well-received exhibition books. "You show your confidence more in what you produce by showing that you don't actually have to take yourself so seriously. Even when you're sincere."
"MCA Denver has an identity and a character that places it in the upper tier of contemporary art spaces in the country," said Vince Kadlubek, co-founder of the Santa Fe-based art collective and exhibition company Meow Wolf, which is planning a multimillion-dollar Denver location. "He has such a commitment to youth and fringe art, and that's refreshing in the art world. He's a trailblazer."
Kadlubek said he was "incredibly inspired" by MCA Denver's 2014 exhibition "Myopia," the first-ever gallery show from Devo leader, visual artist and film composer Mark Mothersbaugh, with whom Lerner worked closely.
"That was the first time I'd gone to MCA, and it was incredible that they were showcasing work by an artist who was truly contemporary," Kadlubek said. "It built a ton of excitement and momentum for us to see this weird, freak, fringe art on the verge of being mainstream."
Lerner is too enmeshed in day-to-day operations to think much about what he'll do next, he said. But he's sure it will have a creative element, however broadly defined, and he's confident his successor will inherit a museum that continues to balance the avant garde with the accessible.
"I will remain in Denver and I want to try my hand doing more for the city (and) more to enrich people's lives," Lerner said. "The challenge, now that the city and (MCA Denver) is so successful, is making sure we're including people who might not be at the forefront of prosperity. But I feel like the next chapter in my career will be best served not from the office of a museum director."
