SuperSecret â„¢ CPS Might Announce New Schools Today
2009-11-04 14:23:00 Later today Ron Huberman will announce which of the dozen or so new school finalists is being recommended to the Board for opening next year or the following. But no one is saying when or where. It might be at 1:00. It might be at a school. But there's no press advisory, much less a press release. Why not? Perhaps it's simple disorganization. Perhaps it's a desire to avoid giving anyone except a handpicked few time to respond / ask questions / be there. Perhaps -- this is my current notion -- it's because everything that CPS does these days is not just secret.

Lady Gaga tickets go on sale today
2009-10-30 20:00:00 Lady Gaga has dumped Kanye West and is heading out on a national tour of her own "The Monster Ball" just in time to coincide with the release of her new album "The Fame Monster"I had a chance to see her perform earlier this year when she stopped by the House of Blues and all I can say is that she is a phenomenal performer. Even though she was on a tiny stage at HOB she completely filled the space. She had a multitude of wacky costumes that she wore (including the bubble dress) and she showed her true talent by clearing the stage and putting fingers to piano and sang directly to the crowd.She'll be performing two shows...

"That actually took real convincing."...

Today's Column: Bonus Monster Movie Material

Feel free to chime in with more suggestions, as we've done in the past for our Scare Dare challenge and results.I can scarcely hear myself think above the ever increasing buzz about "Paranormal Activity," the so-called "scariest" movie of the year.I definitely disagree, but I can see why the hype is taking root.It's almost Halloween, and many are in the mood to be scared.The low-budget filming is gritty a la "Blair Witch Project."The premise is frightening: a demon menacing a young, cute couple who look like they met during an...

Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life
2009-10-01 21:36:00 Today is the first day of official 2009-10 action. Sure it's the pre-season and it's not on TV, but hell, it's something. Two pretty damn good teams too. The Jazz, with D Will, Boozer and crew battling Denver with Melo and Chauncey. Just feels good to be talking about two teams facing each other again!I hope Sloan doesn't push his team too hard. The Jazz had way too many injuries last year and I want to see how good they can be at full strength. At full strength, the Jazz are going to have much more firepower to work with. Even though the pre-season rotation will differ from the regular season rotation, I want to see how the minutes will be toggled between Boozer and Millsap. Also, just want to point out that JR Smith, who is suspended for the first seven games of the season, will be in action in the pre-season. Thanks, @TheMileHighFan, check their blog too.Rejoice NBA fans, it's October. We no longer have to deal with Aaron Grey headlines as the top story of the day!
Have a Look at Googlle Logo Today
2009-09-28 18:42:00 'Googlle': Google Logo Spelled Wrong To Celebrate 11th Anniversary. Sure it will bring them even more attention. Why else they should do it? But if you see closely, this is not a case of wrong spelling. They have styled it to 11 year, as they did 10 last year (see logo below). Very apt! And happy anniversary Google.

You Need To Start An Emergency Fund...TODAY!
2009-09-21 16:14:00 Major expenses have a way of coming along when you least expect them. A leaky roof. A sudden illness. A furlough or job loss. Such events can leave you scrambling for cash at a moment's notice.That's why you need to have an adequate emergency fund?an account apart from your regular savings that you can reach quickly when you need to. Having a "rainy day" account will save you from having to dip into your retirement savings and other long-range investments, or taking on high-interest debt.A common rule of thumb is to set aside enough for three to six months worth of living expenses. However, given today's uncertain economy and job market, you may want to stash away even more.So how do you figure the amount you'll need to stock away?First, add up your fixed monthly expenses?the ones that don't change from month to month. Include your mortgage and/or rent payments, insurance premiums, and property taxes. Then add in the average monthly amount of your variable expenses, including g...

Last letter for today
2009-09-15 20:54:00 Dear friend I promise, next time I will keep all at the end of the day, I will keep open envelop and pen on the paper. Anytime something pop-ups to my mind I will just add it to the same letter. And at the end I place it to the envelop and bring it to the post. Now when I am using audio note-taker, shouldn't be a problem to remember all what goes in my mind over the whole day. As I have promised to you early today morning, I have updated Serene Mind series. It now includes some new images, some are removed and order is different. It is now reflecting my last feel about this series. When I have started richard-vanek.eu and I moved away from piskoftak.com I have decided to present my work purely in series or project. I believe that series of images is more powerful and can express the idea better than single image. It does feel to me like a album and sons. Look at my favorite Pink Floyd. How much better is to listen to the whole album The Wall than to the single song Another Brick...

Target Deals -- Some End Today

But see, what happened is, my husband was going to drive over there this morning anyway to take Nutmeg shopping a the huge new Michael's. With a coupon from the Sunday paper, of course. We are supposed to be working on shoveling out our basement this weekend, so I thought I would go along to see if Target had any single shelving unit on sale, as well as pick up a...

Today was a great dolphin day underwater....
2009-08-26 09:48:00 We went to Garden Eel Cove for the morning dive today and there were dolphins in the bay. During the dive the dolphins were all over the place and visited our divers numerous times. Cathy had her camera in hand, I had to snap a shot of the back of her camera with my cell phone... tons of dolphins in this shot. They were all around our divers... I'm counting 22 in just the photo. By the sounds of it, it was one of our better dolphin shows on any charter I've worked in the 10 years I've been doing this. I'll try to get the actual image from Cathy at some point and post it...it's a VERY clear image.On the way to our second dive site we were treated to an extra special happening - pilot whales around the boat. They were only about a half mile offshore, usually they're much further out. Sorry no pics. Great mammal day all around. Aloha, Steve
