They basically call it "clearing" but they have 20 acres so it will be a lot of Christmas holidays before they ever buy a tree. This year it was a Ponderosa that sprouted off the side of the drive way and they thought its roots might effect the concrete over time. Not the worst way to do it I guess. Great article Sarah!

I just wanted to take a moment to say hi and to wish everyone a very Merry X-Mas and to let you know how much all of your positive comments and energy mean to us, to Cheng and to his family. It truly means the world. On that note, Chi's condition still remains about the same. I wish I could elaborate, but there's not to much to add at this time, other than I know he's pissed and wants the fuck outta' that hospital......................for real, this I know. .....................that being said, on a night like tonight, I hope that everybody is warm and with the people that they love. Here's to all of you and here's to a wonderful and extremely Happy and Healthy New Year!!!!!!

I have heard it also has been used at events from mobile updates. Myspace used it on there "secret shows" at Cochella when Bright Eyes played an extra set. I believe its in its infancy and will grow into something very widely used in the 2.0 marketplace.

Its like a battle that will never end. The interesting thing to me is that in the end it will never be the brick it was, so masking it in small blocks of different colors just makes it look even cooler! In no way do I think its right to destroy someone's property but find it funny the way its taken care of. Keep your eyes out for the next post!

Last week he was moved out of the Intensive Care Unit and transferred to a brain rehabilitation hospital in Northern California. The hospital specializes in the care and management of traumatic and non-trauma related brain injuries with a team of highly skilled therapists, nurses and consultants. He's in great hands. Please continue to pray for our brother, and thank you all for your love and support. -deftones Nicholas Walsh 2008-12-10T00:22:11Z Nicholas Walsh comment-1239 2008-12-09T18:47:57Z 2008-12-09T18:47:57Z Oh I love to hear that!

Chi's condition remains the same - serious, but stable. He still lies in a coma, however his vitals (heart, lungs, and blood pressure) all exhibit very stable functions and doctors have begun removing much of the excess monitoring equipment. Chi remains strong in his fight to recover. Winston Churchill once said, "Never give in - in nothing, great or small, large or petty, except to convictions of honour and good sense." Today, please be especially aware of your personal choices. Never give in to pressure and try not to be discouraged. Your good choices each day will bring good things back to you and create a better life for you and yours. Moving forward, I will be creating a new blog dedicated to my daily updates. It will take me a few days to get this up and running, so please bear with me. Deftones will continue to update you on Chi's condition when there’s a significant change in his condition. Thank you again for keeping Chi in your prayers. It's keeping all of is strong.

It is nice to feel like people are looking out for you and your business, and that is what's great about developing community. I encourage you to write about what has happened in the past as far as vandalism. I a sure other businesses have had similar problems and just maybe "comparing notes" could help everyone out.

Thank you again for keeping Chi in your prayers. It's keeping all of is strong. Our love to you all, Jeanne Nicholas Walsh 2008-11-20T03:26:31Z Nicholas Walsh comment-911 2008-11-15T02:32:43Z 2008-11-15T02:32:43Z The "Guch" is one of my all time favorites! The Veeco Productions movie "The Garden" I think pretty much is one of my favs with BI in it, and just a pivotal movie in snowboarding to boot. Not to mention the small clips of Jeff Anderson as a little grom.

Our gratitude to all of you for your encouragement and willingness to wait for him. Chi had been at the coast with a few of his siblings and I and forgot to bring the last book he bought. The book, Wake Up by Jack Kerouac, has been brought to the hospital by his wife and we are all reading it to him. Today's assignment is to be a the sister, brother, and mother to all. When you have an action to take, try to do with that in your mind through your day. You will be continuing the good work done for all of us and our extended family. What a comfort this is to me and mine. You are so awesome! Please keep the prayers coming! Buckle-up and designate a driver if you want to party. Some lives will be saved today with this small change. All My Love and Respect, Jeanne Nicholas Walsh 2008-11-15T02:27:35Z Nicholas Walsh comment-940 2008-11-14T17:15:57Z 2008-11-14T17:15:57Z QW, come by the Food Co-op on tuesday 12:00 noon and 5:00 and Ill save you one.

Here is a snippet from the latest post. deftones.com Chi Update 11/10/08 As you can see from last night's additional update, Chi is showing definite signs of improvement. His father expects when he fully awakes, they'll have to sedate him (again) so he doesn't start pulling out the tubes and wires from his body. -chino "Again you all are so very much appreciated. God has his hand on our son, please continue to lift him in prayer. For today please forgive someone who has wronged you or wronged yours. Not forgiving is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die. Please continue to stay buckled, show love and spread kindness throughout the day to those around you". -Jeanne Nicholas Walsh 2008-11-11T01:51:52Z Nicholas Walsh comment-813 2008-11-10T18:32:52Z 2008-11-10T18:32:52Z Travis is a refreshing change from the "tight pants, wide stance" movement. I can respect guys who are jibbers because snowboarding isn't all about 100 ft gaps, but god its fun to watch TR ride. He makes me crave snowboarding like I did when I was 13 years old.

Thats is some serious culinary knowledge in these photographs Sonny. What were some of the food and wine pairing stand outs, scallops must have been served because they are amazingly well prepared at Tuli B.

I'm glad to read he wasn't adding on items but trying to give good advice. We had all of our detectors hard wired with battery back ups and it was not that expensive to do. Being a new father and pet owner I feel more comfortable with our choice to upgrade our system. Thanks for the great article Jim. Nicholas Walsh 2008-11-07T17:59:44Z Nicholas Walsh comment-761 2008-11-06T00:31:23Z 2008-11-06T00:31:23Z As well I rarely hear the "on your left" as speedy bikers pass the beach cruiser crew. I try and use the streets such as I, J, 19th and 21st and so on that people are more used to seeing cyclists just to try and put the odds a little more on my side. My biggest fear is riding down J street and watching a car door open as I scramble for the breaks. One ride home I was riding down 16th towards 160 and as I crossed H a car pulled out from the left side alley way and was crossing into the hotel parking lot. He saw the traffic coming fast and accelerated fast and then slammed on his breaks as he noticed me. He was looking right as he was trying to cross the busy street and I was past his line of sight. It is the closest I have came to being ran over, luckily he saw me at the last moment and knocked me off my bike but no real harm. To end this story on a warm note... he backed up, never asked how I was and sped off down 16th. another car pulled over to make sure I was alright and then took off to try and get his plates. Luckily I was fine but that is my cycling story downtown. I was riding safely and caught in a bad spot.

I am hopeful to read more updates on our Sacramento brother and the sacpress staff sends out our best wishes to Chi, his friends and family.

She was not bombarded with people but many people wanted to say hello and wish her well at the market that day. She took time to talk with me for about 10 minutes and discuss local issues, media coverage and community organization in downtown/midtown. I was actually very impressed with her and the staff there on Sunday. I think it is fantastic that both candidates made time for SSP during a bust campaign season.

I beg to say if your skating a pool not to much about you is posing.

The hole is on the side closest to the sidewalk.

I'll be sure to create a storyline about premier season as I like to call it.

I am also trying to get my hands on Heckler Magazine issue 39 because the cover was shot in Southside Park.

Can SacPress have a public calendar that can be added to your google account or such?

Every time I have been to SS it seems to me it has become more and more of a pub crawl than an art exhibit. I appreciate the concept of SS and many of the gallery stops but it is embarrassing to watch Wells Fargo set up booths trying to get people to sign up for credit cards and people walking around with plastic keg cups. The concept is great and a pillar of culture downtown yet I feel the governing body is to loose with there product. Nicholas Walsh 2008-10-18T00:04:13Z
