I'm on ignore{sad face}

But seriously, T's right, an hour train ride from TCOTU, Flushing is so worth a meal. Actually wander into almost any place- if a restaurant sucks it will not survive- look and make your own decision- scary great food- or buy a guide and go where it tells you to- either way.

Pretty. But he had two wide open team mates center field. Nice though.

Well, on the list for next time I'm in NYC.

I've got most of a week in Toronto next month. Another city with excellent Chinese food.

I grew up playing pick up basketball. Endless hours of playing against kids with serious skills.

Those serious skills (at least ball handling) did not rub off on me. I remain unable to do anything but rebound or drive minimal distance to the basket. If I have the ball outside the paint and anyone reasonably fast is near me, it's stolen.

My kid has decent ball handling skills. Must've gotten them from mom's side. I'm jealous.

How did I not hear of this story before now? She also did blow and had a tryst with her husband's business partner? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...s-partner.html

Not that any of it matters (it actually humanizes her a bit).

But I do have to call her out on the fling with her husband's partner. Dude looks like a serious goober.

We have two Chinatowns. The original is hardly recognizable anymore, as it's been sucked up by the growth on the east side of Downtown. There are a few markers that it used to be Chinatown, but most people in this city probably don't know it unless it's pointed out by someone who has been here more than two decades.

The second is out west, technically in the city, but fairly far out. It's a fairly huge tract of land, and it's not just Chinese. Signs are in at least three or four languages, and it's been growing since the mid-80s. There are tons and tons of restaurants out there in strip malls, and some are awesome and some suck.

2. Looking back, the main thing for basketball and soccer is that kids play well into adulthood, either pick up or loosely organized adult leagues, or college IM. Too much supervision threatens this goal. I was an ass't soccer coach (early age rec)- the head coach told me our game plan "we will not be the coaches that cause any kid to quit the game." Seems a good plan to me.

And to play pick up you do not need an official soccer field, just some space. In France i saw my kid play pick up on an asphalt school courtyard.

Why did they block her? Sounds from the summary she is coming in with an agenda? The summary says Israel isn't a democracy. Why would a country surrounded by war and hate want to allow more in?

The agenda I see is that she planned to witness the human rights situation. Sad that you see that as a threat to Israel.

I don't know shit about this. But if she is a professor of law at Columbia, what possible reason could they have to keep her out? And please apply whatever answer you have to this country, because we're just about there when it comes to deciding who gets in.

Don't know who she is except that I can read the text on the image I posted, which seems to be beyond your ken.
