NCAA Rowing Championships Continued...
2008-05-27 18:07:00 The WSU Women's Rowing team is arriving today in Sacramento, CA to prepare for this weekend's NCAA Rowing Championships at Lake Natoma. The official site can be found here. Racing starts on Friday morning and continues until Sunday for Div I and II. WSU's rowing website reports that there were cheers and tears when the announcement was made that WSU had qualified for the championships. Having talked with Carly within seconds of the announcement, I can personally attest to hearing both. Here's a complete list of all of the teams that qualified along with the 4 at large Varsity 8 boats TEAMS Brown California Harvard Michigan State Ohio State Princeton Tennessee Virginia Washington Washington State Wisconsin Yale AT-LARGE EIGHTS Clemson Michigan Southern California Stanford Jamcotimes will do the live splits and results while the NCAA site will have a live webcast, but so far I can't figure out where to fi...

Pac-10 Rowing Championships May 18th
2008-05-16 21:13:00 The Pac-10 final for men's and women's rowing is this weekend (Sunday) on Lake Natoma near Sacramento, CA. My daughter Carly's WSU Cougars are seeded 2nd after Cal and are currently ranked 4th in the nation. Winning won't be easy, but could set up a national championship run. Wow. I never dreamed I be the parent of an NCAA Division 1 athlete, let alone a potential national champion. If you want to see the races you can get the schedule at the WSU Cougars link above and get live streaming at Pac-10.org, but you have to register. I don't know if there's any other way, sorry. Good luck Carly and Go Cougs (that hurts to say as a Washington Husky). On another personal note, my 8 year old, Ryan, qualified for the 2nd round of the local Pitch, Hit & Run competition and will be testing his pitching skills at Garfield High School on Saturday the 24th. Isn't succeeding vicariously through one's children great?

WSU Women's Rowing
2008-04-18 18:33:00 Not everything can be about real estate. My daughter, Carly, is a member of the 5th ranked WSU Women's Rowing Team (that's Washington State University). Last week the varsity 8 beat their cross state rivals, the UW Huskies (my alma mater), on the Husky's home course, RESULTS. Carly was in the varsity 4 boat which took a close third, good for her first outing of the year in a 4 person shell. This week the team is headed to Stanford for a two day regatta, DETAILS. I wish I could be there but the Seattle real estate market appears to be picking up somewhat and I've got appointments Saturday and Sunday (plus who'd want to miss what may be the coldest April 19th and 20th in Seattle's history. They're predicting snow. Yea). If you've got a rower in your family I'd love to have you share your thoughts. Hanging with my kids last weekend on the Montlake Cut made for a near perfect Saturday moring. The Husky in me hates to say it but, GO COUGS!

Fitness, Health And Why "We" Need A Rowing Machine
2007-11-09 06:39:00 "We" have just bought a rowing machine. It's one of these big fancy ones you find in a gym. My husband decided "we" needed one as he watched me struggle into my jeans.Anyway I bid for a second hand rowing machine on e-bay and was frustratingly out bid in the last 40 seconds. However, the women who actually won the thing, decided to pull out of the sale because she was "too tired" to go and collect it.In the auction details it clearly said "buyer to collect" and gave the choice of two locations, so she must have realised how far she would have to travel if she won. Mind you, that may not have been the case. Perhaps, as she'd bid so late in the auction she'd overlooked that bit which is something I did once to my cost.When I was new to e-bay I bid for a bronze ornament in the final few minutes of an auction and won it. I was delighted with my purchase until I realised it was being shipped from Beijing and I live in UK. The postage was eleven times more expensive than the actual ite...

We are growing up! Welcome Paul and Carolyn
2007-08-09 03:55:00 Every start-up is like a tender sapling, that after tender loving care by the founder, needs a constant gardner (or two) before it can put roots, and become a tree that survives the vagaries of nature, and test of time. And for my little company, that time is now. And After 12 sleepless months of guiding GigaOM and our network of websites along with Liz, Katie, Carleen and Joey, it became clear that we would need some help before we set off on the second mile of this marathon called start-up life. I sat down in a quiet cafe, took a piece of paper, and wrote down what we did right, and what we did wrong in the first 12 months. It didn’t take very long to realize, that we needed a solid business and operations expert, who could put structure in place for measured and sustainable growth. And that is when Paul Walborsky called me. I have known Paul for over a decade; we were introduced by my best friend, Deepak Talwar who runs an art gallery in New York. D, as we like to call him,...

Growing Salvia Plants: Do It Yourself
2007-08-08 17:05:00 Growing your own salvia divinorum plant can be a bit of a difficult task because of the salvia plants unique features. Salvia divinorum is a cultigen, meaning it no longer exists in the wild and has been domesticated by humans. Salvia plants (and most other cultigens) are not able to produce their own offspring. Rarely will a salvia plant produce seed. Most people who attempt to grow salvia from seed end up failing. Salvia plants blossom with flowers often, and it's fairly easy to cause salvia plants to flower inside a greenhouse, but the hard part is attempting to hand pollinate the otherwise sterile flowers and make good seeds that can be used to grow more salvia plants. The most common way to successfully grow a salvia divinorum plant is to start with cuttings (live, rooted pieces taken from another salvia plant) and use those cuttings to clone the plant. For this reason, and since it's the easiest way to grow it, I'm going to cover the process of cultivating salvia divinorum ...

"I met my husband on Orkut" - A growing trend?
2007-08-08 09:36:00 One of the great things about internet is the people around you who are users of the medium give you deeper insights into the trends on almost a daily basis. So just last week a fellow WATblogger was telling me of how his cousin met her to be husband on orkut!.. Hmmm.. interesting isn't it? Was this a one off incident or was it a growing trend?Are social networks slowly but surely sabotaging the matrimonial territory?Will Matrimonial sites be dead in the near future in the face of free networking sites?Or will it continue for only those who look for a secured/private platform? But social networks have privacy options too..An article in agencyfaqs supports the fact that youth are making a beeline to be a part of social networks /dating/friendship sites rather than matrimonial sites. One might argue that the two can't be compared as social networks look at connecting people for friendship and dating while marraige is a totally different issue!But can't a platform like social networ...

Growing Oklahoma Foreclosures: No Impact on Housing Market
2007-08-08 00:14:00 During the past years, the real estate market in Oklahoma has seen a sharp increase in the value of its homes. Naturally, the market will try to correct itself resulting to a noticeable decline in home sales. Despite this, market conditions remain stable in the state as evident in the below-national foreclosures rate. Although there is an increase in the number of Oklahoma foreclosures, the trend remains positive and buyers will be delighted with all the great deals being offered for these properties.

Gilbert: Fastest Growing Big Suburb in the Country
2007-08-07 18:17:00 It's probably no surprise to any of my fellow Gilbert, AZ residents that yet another study shows Gilbert is the fastest growing large (>100K population) suburb in the nation. From a Forbes.com article on MSN today: The fastest-growing big suburb (with a population of 100,000 or more) is Gilbert, Ariz., outside Phoenix, which grew from 112,766 people to 191,517. The Phoenix area saw the greatest positive domestic migration of any American metro area last year, with 115,000 more people moving into town than leaving. Affordable housing and a growing economy are draws for the city. Those numbers are from 2000 to 2006 based on US Census data and represent an almost 70% increase in population. We moved here in 1999 and have witnessed this growth first hand. As previously mentioned here, there are some growing pains, particularly in the areas of road and traffic infrastructure. Our City Council has done an admirable job trying to keep up, but often it seems like it&...

China IP Savvy Growing
2007-08-07 16:43:00 Daniel Hempel of The Daily Law Journal did a story the other day entitled, "China's IP Savvy Grows, as Do Legal Protections" [subscription required] The story starts out on how developing countries eventually reach the point where "stealing of intellectual property becomes obsolete" and then notes how "Chinese business leaders and officials have put an increased importance on the laws protecting the country's intellectual property rather than stealing from others." Hempel sees big changes in China's IP landscape: Across the Chinese intellectual property landscape, much is changing. Trademarks, once nonexistent, now have well-established laws under the country's limited free-market reforms. Patents are an increasingly powerful tool for growing Chinese businesses, to the extent that Chinese companies have felt confident enough to sue suspected American infringers. The filing of trademarks as well as lawsuits over trademark infringement are soaring in China. These lawsuits m...
