There are a lot of possibilities for retrofit cohousing here, where a gr …

Well, let’s just dip our toe shoes into the water, here, and see if there’s any balletomania afoot, for a new meetup now. Amid the epoch of “Black Swan" at the movies, and with the Giants having won the World Series (yes, whipping through 32 fouetté turns is almost as hard as hitting a Lincecum fastball), and now the first book ever published about the entire history of ballet (“Apollo’s Angels,” by Jennifer Homans), and, ta-dah, most important of all, with the world-class San Francisco Ballet …

There are few periods in film history that were more influential and more fun that the Italian Spaghetti Westerns made between 1964 and the mid 1970s. You will find more action or gun play anywhere. Not even a Shakespearian tragedy could pile up bodies like the Italians would. From Sergio Leone to Sergio Corbucci to Enzo Barboni; from Clint Eastwood to Lee Van Cleef to Klaus Kinski and hundreds of Italian unknown actors; these movies are endless fun. Once a month Gun Slingers get together to sha …

When we started several years ago, our goal was to explore Silicon Valley (aka "The Valley of Heart's Delight"), in part to show people there was more to the Bay Area than San Francisco.  Now we've visited just about every local museum from Gilroy to Santa Cruz to Millbrae, so we tend to journey farther afield for cultural/historical walks and day trips.  Our events include mundane after-work "well, it's better than just sitting on the couch" walks in local neighborhoods as well as more ambitiou …

In general Deep stack poker is defined as when the stacks are relatively deep when compared to the blinds. I personally would consider that 200 BBs or more is playing with a deep-stack. In general, my games buy-in will range between 80 BBs - 250 BBs Deep stack games are not easy to find in a home game and at the local casinos, deep-stack games are generally fairly high stakes. CA card rooms drop $5 every hand, roughly $150/hr. The vast majority of players in those clubs can't beat that rake. Eve …
