Re: “Improving neighborhoods”
Ummmm ... Beechwood is in the northeast, not the southeast ... in fact, from the neighborhood association website: "Welcome to Beechwood, a dynamic and diverse neighborhood nestled in historic northeast Rochester."
So what is the targeted neighborhood in the southeast, since it obviously can't be Beechwood?

Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 3: Let's give the boy a hand”
Thank you for the clarification on Podrick, folks. You're absolutely right. As soon as you mentioned that he's still with Brienne (well, so far as we know, as that story ended on a hell of a cliffhanger) the rest of Pod's journey snapped into focus in my mind.
Allanon, interesting tidbit about Martin instructing the show to change Melisandre. She's a fascinating character in both the books and the show, and personally I love her almost tragic irony. She is likely 100 percent right about her prophecy, and she's really trying to save the realm. She just bet on the wrong horse.
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 3: Let's give the boy a hand”
Podrick Payne is still a major player. Patch Face was not cast or has not been listed as cast in any way. The producers said Melisandre's character has been altered under George Martin's instructions...
Re: “[UPDATED] RPO challengers lose legal battle”
So the Children's Crusade is finally over. Too bad that the RPO board had to waste time and money defending itself from a glorified temper tantrum.

Cathy Pod make it to Book Four and maybe to five ( he is with Briena all the time) , and the one who captured Jaime and Briene are the Series is called Locke

Hey Cathy, this is the first blog I've done for "Thrones." We added that and "Doctor Who" because, well, I wanted to. (The "Who" blog for the episode this weekend should be up first thing tomorrow; I was working Saturday night.) Glad you're following the blog!
Re: “"Game of Thrones" Season 3, Episode 3: Let's give the boy a hand”
Ok, stop the train. I haven't been paying attention and didn't realize you 'blogged' this show.' O Fraptious Day' etc
Kudos for remembering names and plots. Beyond me 'cept for a few faves.
In total agreement that I thought two scenes were beyond brilliant. The Small Council scene was so perfect. Love Tyrion. And then the post brothel moment between the Boys. And God Bless them for being concerned!
Re: “ART: Geva cancels summer show "The Lifeguard"”
HI MJN,
I work for Geva and want to let you know that there is no more to the story than what we provided to the press. Forster never met with the playwright until Geva secured the rights to the show. He did express an interest in doing the show publicly but needed a producer like Geva to take it to the next step, Unfortunately, their schedules did not allow for a meeting until the days after we made our announcement. It was a meeting between the playwright and Mr Forster and then later a follow-up conversation with artistic director Mark Cuddy that lead to the writer rescinding the rights from Geva. There are currently no productions of THE LIFEGUARD currently planned any where . Geva does regret not being able to bring this new work and Mr Forster to our stage this summer.
Re: “Pittsford Y proposal comes down to cars”
To John Peckham:
Thanks for your comment. I just checked in with YMCA of Greater Rochester officials for clarification. They tell me that the Southeast YMCA is the smallest suburban facility; the Monroe Avenue and Maplewood facilities are smaller. I'll be correcting the story so that this is clear.
Re: “Port work should begin this fall”
This is the same "If we build it they will come" mentality that led Bill Johnson to put taxpayers in the dumper to the tune of tens of millions of dollars to pay (twice) for his absurd Fast Ferry day dream. Apparently our current mayoral administration is content to follow in Bill's footsteps. Sadly, the result will be identical. More wasted millions with the only result being a new collection of underutilized facilities to go along with the ferry terminal.
I don’t suppose the city bothered putting together a business case for the port project which Mr. Gregor would care to share with the public?
Re: “Pittsford Y proposal comes down to cars”
Smaller than the Monroe Y? I think not. I find the statement by "Y officials" to be disingenuous. I love the Southeast Y and in it's current location I think it's the most outdoor-runner-friendly Y in the area. It's adjacent to the Canal Path @ Mitchell Road and puts you onto decent neighborhood roadways that runners of many levels of expertise can enjoy, from flat to some serious hills. While I sympathize with the Y on this, the proposed location won't offer outdoor-running Y-members nearly as many SAFE opportunities. They've already built an east-side Taj Mahal facility on Rt. 250. Is a second ginormous east-side facility really necessary?
Re: “All creatures great and small”
They forgot to mention many great services. When you are going to list services, a thorough list should be provided.

Re: “Is support for gun control slipping?”
The left is showing it's true colors by this giant gun grab. Why not enforce the laws on the books and focus on helping the mentally ill? Because democrats don't care about safety and are exploiting this to achieve their long desired goal of disarming Americans.
Wolves in sheep's clothing.
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Top 6 to Top 5)”
I don;t doubt Producer Manipulation etc but I do think Lazaro got much much worse as the weeks wore on. His singing this week was so weak. His attitude or false bravado was grating. I also didn't like him talking over the judges,,I don;t care who you think you are....know your place. What I found particularly irksome was his attempts at blowing comments off. (last night he said he was laughing as he thought it was funny what someone had said as a criticism) I wondered if his speech impediment had affected his ability to hear himself..but he was much better and stronger earlier in the season than this week..
Thought Scotty was terrible. He sang far better during the competition.
Kelly rocked. Loved the song, Loved her. She is a breath of fresh air.
I feel for Amber as I think she is really strong. Hope producers are watching her as she is very talented. Hope you are right and Janelle goes next and save is used. Altho, if Janelle takes Jimmy's advice and reworks a song while playing the guitar, she could garner many votes. Angie is literally not even on my mind. Maybe she will sing something that finally clicks with me?
Finally: agree with above comment: Team Candice! & agree with you Eric: This has ended up developing into quite an interesting season and such strength for the final. Bring it on!
Re: “"American Idol" 2013: Results (Top 6 to Top 5)”
I’m so relieved to see Lazaro finally go home. Nothing against him personally, but it would have been depressing to see anyone else left on the show get eliminated over him. I am definitely Team Candice at this point and I’m really excited to see her win this season. I’m actually never home to watch American Idol live anymore because I work the late shift at DISH during the week. My DISH Hopper always records it for me. It automatically tapes all the primetime shows on FOX every night, so I’ll be able to turn it on as soon as I get home.

Dear Junderwater: It's on Thursday, May 2. Thank you for pointing out that we omitted that (extremely important!) piece of information. We hope you can join us!

On what DATE?
Thank you. :)
Re: “Improving neighborhoods”
Rochester Musician,
I double checked with the city administration and they do indeed consider Beechwood the southeast.
Thanks!
