My Bachelor 2011 (Brad 2.0) Predictions

2011-01-12T07:12:00.002-05:00

You can ask my wife, Elia, I am very good at predicting the outcome of The Bachelor. Not perfect, just pretty good. After two full episodes, I am ready to make my call. Here we go:

[Picture from abc.com]

1. Winner - Food Writer, former gymnast - Britt, 25

She is cute, interesting, but a little shy. I know the bed scene it looked like they kissed forever on the bed, but that was editing together multiple takes. Nonetheless, she is my call. This is a very high-risk call as she could EASILY go out next show. If so, bump all my picks up.

2. Ricky-Bobby's former fiancee - Emily, 24 (she could easily win also) - Adorable, charming, single-mom, great back-story, also incredibly hot. He is taken with her. My guess is her little girl, Ricky (natch), will be the star of the show when they go to her "home" visit. She could possibly lock it in next week with her "big reveal".

3. Crazy Philly Dentist with the over-the-top boob job - Ashley H., 26 - Great, two good looking people with SERIOUS daddy issues. She might drop a spot, but I think her education and fun quotient will keep her around a long time.

4. Birthday girl and the least nice person from Utah ever - Michelle, 30 (today, "It's my birthday, did you hear?") - Easy to dislike, single-mom, but super hot and extremely adept at getting Brad's attention. Not a chance she will win. Definitely being overdone in editing as the "bad girl". Will get eliminated for causing crazy drama about other girls with her man. Predicted line - "I don't fight for men, men fight for me!"

5. Super-cute, but totally naive NYC nanny from the mid-west - Ashley S., 26 - Too nice for this competition. Will get her heart stomped. Brad might cry when he lets her go.

6. Adorable Boston bartender - Stacey, 26 - Not sure what to thing of her, but a) I like her and b) the editing suggests she sticks around. In the end, I don't think she brings enough dimension to stay interesting.

7. Psychotic vampire chick that the producers will insist stay around long enough -Madison, 25 - Clearly here to appeal to the Twilight generation, she must have a great agent who sold that story line/appeal to the producers. Her presence on the show weakens the argument that Brad is serious each week. Also - if she is a model, she must be a plus size model. Just sayin'.

It's hard to predict exact spot, so take my guesses as +/- 1 slot.

Other thoughts:

Am I crazy or is that artist chick, Jackie, 27, completely a intentional attempt to draw on the appeal of Rachel Berry from Glee? (not working)
Lisa M is the easiest elimination from the next episode ever. I can't even remember a segment with her and Brad alone in the editing = death nell.
Sarah P will likely get her shot next week and may not get the rose on the date, sending her home immediately.
I really like the mortician dame, Shawntel, 25, but she isn't hot enough, is too shy and frankly is too nice for this show. Best line from Brad on her - "You could make anyone look good" Heh.
Taking a look at the multiple name-pairs, one stands out - Ashley (#2 in 1985), Sarah (#5 in 1985) and Chantal/Shawtel (Nowhere in the top 250). Not sure what it says, but it says something.
Last time, Brad ended up with two brunettes, yet idiotically, I am predicting two blondes this time. This could bite me in the butt.
Did anyone else notice that there were no black or asian women in the original 30? I wonder why not. They have been conscientious about that in the past. Historically, they have all been summarily dismissed in the first couple episodes, which might have been embarrassing to the producers so they skipped it this time.

Think I have it way off? Have you own prediction? Let me hear about it in your comments.

Christie rips into Chatham school board, superintendent | dailyrecord.com | Daily Record

2010-12-17T13:47:00.001-05:00

-->
From the DailyRecord.com Capitol Quickies blog:
Perhaps the best quote of the day during Gov. Chris Christie’s press conference came when he riffed on one of his favorite tops — high superintendent salaries and the school boards who award them.
“These school boards need to start representing the taxpayers and stop being agents for school superintendents,” Christie said.

WATCH video of Christie criticizing the Chatham school board

He then drew a bead on the Chatham Board of Education, which recently approved a new contract for its superintendent that exceeds the salary cap Christie is seeking to impose in 2011. Saying the board’s enthusiasm for its superintendent goes beyond what baseball super-agent Scott Boras would do to sell one of his clients, the governor tore into the board.
“I look at the school board in Chatham. You know, they make Scott Boras blush with their advocacy for this Jim O’Neill character,” Christie said. “You would think the guy invented the book from the way they talk about him.”
Bah-dum-bum…
“So let’s get real here, OK,” the governor continued. “It’s time for (school boards) to start representing the people who vote for them and who pay the bills and stop looking for ways to circumvent the superintendent pay cap.”
Christie said he had directed Department of Education acting commissioner Rochelle Hendricks to keep a close eye on any new contracts and challenge them when necessary.
Asked tonight about the governor's comments, Steve Barna, the president of the board, wondered how Christie can look at a high achieving district like the Chathams and "hurl darts" at the board. Barna said he would love to have Christie, who lives a short distance away in Mendham Township, visit the district and see how well it is doing.
Jonathan Chatinover, a board member who spoke to the governor at a recent town hall meeting in Parsippany, said the board is representing the taxpayers, He noted that voters in the district overwhelmingly backed the school district;'s budget last spring and that they have been consistently doing so for 20 years.

Dear Governor Christie, I love you but please get off this issue. You are wrong.

Drunk Man Kills Shark By Jumping On Head

2010-12-17T12:56:00.001-05:00

via Geekologie...

Dragan Stevic (who you can probably already tell is a badass because his name's pronounced f***in' DRAGON), a wasted Serbian tourist (is there any other way to vacation?!) at Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh managed to take down a shark that had already killed one person and injured four others in the seaside tourist town by landing on it after drunkenly throwing himself off a high-dive. OMG -- PLEASE tell me you teach classes in heroism!

"Dragan climbed on the jumping board, told me to hold his beer and simply ran to jump. There was no time for me to react or to try to stop him, he just went for it"..."Dragan jumped high and plunged down to the sea, but didn't make as much splash as we thought he would"...

The reason could be because Dragan Stevic ended up jumping straight on the shark which was lurking near the beach, probably looking for its next victim. Dragan had nailed it right in the head, killing it instantly. The Egyptian police found the shark washed out on the beach that morning (pictured above).

At the moment, the fearless hero is in a hospital recovering from alcohol poisoning. After Dragan gets well, he will get a chance to have some more drinks as the resort had awarded the Serb tourist with a free vacation for his heroic deed.

This is the perfect hero story.

Reading on my front-porch rocker on this gorgeous day is suburbtastic.

Sleeping In on Weekends Might Help You Catch Up From the Week [Sleep]

2010-08-03T10:01:00.001-04:00

I always knew this was the case. How could it not be? My strategy has now been justified. Now, if I can just get my kids to actually let me sleep in...

Sleeping In on Weekends Might Help You Catch Up From the Week

If you've got the chance to sleep in on a weekend morning, take it. Scientists suggests in a new study that grabbing an extra hour or two in one night can help restore your performance after a week of less-than-awesome slumber.

Photo by B Rosen.

In the journal Sleep, a recent study was analyzed in which 159 adults, at an average age of 30, were given two 10-hour nights, then most were given just four hours of sleep across five consecutive nights. After that, the amount of sleep allowed was randomized. Those who received the most sleep after that pretty awful-sounding week fared the best:

Dr David Dinges, chief of the Division of Sleep and Chronobiology at the University of Pennsylvania, who led the study, said: "The additional hour or two of sleep in the morning after a period of chronic partial sleep loss has genuine benefits for continued recovery of behavioural alertness.

"The bottom line is that adequate recovery is important for coping with the effects of chronic sleep restriction on the brain."

Does this go directly against what your friends, and other studies, have suggested? Kind of. Doesn't it feel great to wake up at an unproductive hour on a weekend? Yes.Your mileage, then, will vary.

2009 Sheldon Holiday Letter

2009-12-20T11:35:00.030-05:00

Dear Family and Friends,

Merry Christmas, Season’s Greetings, and Happy New Year!

As we did last year, we decided to go green rather than send out cards and photos to save paper, costs and time, while still providing you an update on the past year. We hope you enjoy it!

The way we would sum up 2009: busy, busy, busy. We went on quite a few trips, learned a lot at school, accomplished a lot at work, and found many opportunities to have fun together.

In March 2009, Elia, Kathi (our au pair from Berlin, Germany), and Emma visited Washington, DC. Unfortunately, Alexa and John had to stay home because Alexa wasn’t feeling well. While there, we visited several of the Smithsonian Museums, rode the Metro, saw the White House, stood in front of the US Capitol Building, visited the Lincoln Memorial, and enjoyed Ethiopian food in Georgetown (correction: Emma wants everyone to know that she found the Ethiopian food way too spicy). We must have clocked at least twenty miles of walking, maybe more. It was a lot of fun.

The photo to the right is Emma in front of the World War II Memorial.

In April of this year our entire family went on a trip to Myrtle Beach to enjoy some sun and sea. The weather was colder than we expected, so the sun and sea part was only able to happen a couple of times but we still managed to have fun. While we were there, we celebrated Alexa’s 5^th birthday.

Here’s a picture of John, Emma, and Alexa finishing up some ice cream cones at the Shops at Barefoot Landing in Myrtle Beach.

Later in April, we made a quick weekend trip to visit Philadelphia. Kathi, Emma, and Alexa all tasted their very first authentic Philadelphia cheesesteaks at Jim's. Emma and Kathi really enjoyed theirs. The weather was unseasonably warm and we enjoyed the sun and the flowers as we walked to see the Liberty Bell.

Here’s a picture of Emma and Alexa outside of the Liberty Bell Center:

We even had time to visit John’s alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania.

The girls posed for this picture with Ben.

We welcomed two new cousins to the family this year. On June 19^th, Madison Gail and Morgan Jean were born to John’s sister, Debi, and her husband Jeff. We visited them later that month and enjoyed meeting them, holding them, feeding them, and watching them sleep.

The summer was fun; filled with summer camps, visits to friends, Elia’s High School Reunion, and – of course – ice cream:

In July, our au pair, Kathi Opitz, who’d joined our family in July of last year returned to Berlin. It was sad to say goodbye but we know that we will all see each other again. She passed the first test needed to qualify to enter pilot’s training for Lufthansa, so we’re very excited to hear more news in the future.

We were happy to welcome our new au pair, Julia Englund Tunhaw, to our family in early July. She’s from Jönköping, Sweden and after her year with us will return there to study psychology. We are so blessed to have Julia in our family. She’s taught us a lot about Sweden and we have already shared some American traditions with her.

Here’s a picture of her with John, Elia, and Emma from when we visited Cape Cod this summer:

For Halloween. Emma decided to be Alice Cullen from Twilight (a vampire, for those of you unfamiliar with the book) and Alexa decided to be a sassy princess. The weather was rainy, but we still managed to get our usual 100+ trick-or-treaters.

John and Elia went for a very relaxing vacation in early November to Aruba. We enjoyed Slippery Monkeys and spent our days floating around the Lazy River and catching up with each other. Vacation bliss.

On the job front, John left Ogilvy in February for a new opportunity to help grow a new discipline in the New York office of London-based Bartle, Bogle & Hegarty (BBH) - a mid-sized agency where he has worked on fun stuff for Axe, LEGO and helping on new business with Westin (we won!) and Cadillac (which we better win in January).

Elia has been at UnitedHealth Group based out of their Basking Ridge, NJ office for a year and a half now and she’s happy to report that she enjoys her job. She’s Director of IT Project Management and runs a multi-year program for the enterprise information technology organization. Her program is responsible for helping reduce overall IT run rate costs and implementing changes that will better enable the organization to deliver effective, efficient technology solutions.

Emma, now eight, is a third grader at Milton Avenue School. She loves her class, her teacher (who is internet savvy like us), and spending time with her friends. She also enjoys tennis, swimming, soccer, basketball and Brownies. Emma’s message to everyone is: "I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”

Alexa, now 5½, started Kindergarten this year at Milton Avenue School. In addition to enjoying school, she also enjoys ballet, tap, swimming, soccer and craft projects. Alexa’s message to everyone is: "I hope Santa gives you all great presents. Remember to be good!".
In closing, we wish you and yours a fun-filled holiday season and a safe, happy, and healthy 2010!

We leave you with a clip of Emma and Alexa dancing to Jingle Bell Rock on the day we decorated our Christmas tree this year. Enjoy!

Love,

John, Elia, Emma, Alexa and Julia

New Chumby is available next month

2009-11-11T15:22:00.002-05:00

Many of my friends all comment on the original Chumby in our house. We use it as a clock, whole-house Pandora player and Google Calendar display among other things. Here is a snippest from Engadget on the newest release...

Wrapping one's brain around Chumby's original concept -- drop some Flash-based widgets inside a plush vinyl sphere with WiFi and a touchscreen -- has never been an easy task, but after a couple years of low-key retail action, it looks like the company's finally ready to bring a new version into the mix that might be a little more mainstream. The simply-named One dispenses of the old model's squeezable shell, earning a more businesslike appearance and trading up to a slightly speedier 454MHz core (not to say you need a lot of horsepower when you're lackadaisically cruising feeds, weather forecasts, and clock faces on a QVGA screen, but we're not complaining)

It is rumored to be around $100 when it launches next month - I will put a link up then.

National Car Rental's "Pick any car" Feature is Broken

2009-04-21T14:59:00.001-04:00

On a trip last month to Las Vegas, my crew had the chance to go to the Nascar race at Las Vegas Speedway thanks to a friend from High School and Facebook (more on that some other time). To get out to the track, we had to rent a car as the track is 18 or so miles north of the city. Looking online, National had the best rate on a car that would seat a large group so I made the reservation there. Normally, I am a Hertz guy, but the rates were very different.

Upon getting to the Las Vegas car rental center near the airport, National was tauting it's new feature where they don't assign you a specific car, instead you pick the car that's in the class you reserved. I totally understand the insight behind this - people have preferneces in the cars they drive, why not let them pick? This matches my thinking also, so I was inclined to like this approach.... until I saw how it was executed.

I walked into a huge garage with confusing signage. There was nothing in the garage or on the cars to indicate which class any car was. Additionally, the National representative directed me to a row labeled Alamo to find the car I need. "Directed" is probably too strong a word. Non-chalantly waved his hand in a sweeping motion probably does it more justice. After reluctantly picking a car, we headed to the exit. Here was watched as the attendant sent two cars back into the garage, they picked the wrong class as it turns out. When we finally got to the gate, hoping we were going to be able to move ahead, I asked how often that happens. "All the time, 15-20 times a day" was the answer. I was one of the lucky ones. We had guessed right.

How's that for a customer experience?

25 random things about me

2009-01-28T08:33:00.002-05:00

Having gotten tagged with this, please find my list of 25 things below:

I love to compete. At almost anything. Cards, sports, trivia. I don’t have to win, I just like the feeling of being in the battle. I appreciate being defeated by a worthy opponent – but I always want a rematch! I hate losing when that loss was based on (what I perceive as) luck.
There is a big part of me that is glad I got bald enough to just shave my head down to stubble and not worry about it
I put up a tough front to my girls in an attempt to teach them to listen and heed authority, but secretly, I love when they push back and plead their case.
Frequently, I am overwhelmed by my feelings of gratitude for those who teach, serve in the military, work for worthy causes and in the name of public safety (Police, Fire)
People love to tease/pick on me. I love it. I am very difficult to offend. People who never have met me often start in on me within seconds.
I am not nostalgic about events and places at all. For example, my childhood home is currently in shambles and I couldn’t care (my parents don’t live there anymore).
I think that is the same trait that prevents me from being angry about anything for more than 20 minutes.
It took me too long to recognize the value of the relationships I have been blessed with in my life – all of them. I do now.
I love being the father of girls. My girls riotous laughter can fuel me for days.
There is no greater skill I covet more than the ability to hold the rapt attention a large room with nothing but public speaking skills. Good comedians, politicians, storytellers who can do it are a marvel to me. I am working on that skill in some way every day.
Ways to make me crazy: make me wait without knowing when the waiting will end, ask me to sit still, have me in the passenger seat while the driver is driving without confidence.
I am an information junkie. I read well over 100 blogs and RSS feeds. Google Reader says that I consumed over 26 thousand articles in the last 30 days. Yes, I skim a lot of them, but it’s hard to scoop me on a story.
Cooking has gone from being purely functional to one of my favorite things. I am king of the cook top. My oven is rarely used. I am now experimenting with doing foams. If you have time, ask me about my signature dishes which include: Swordfish a la John, Chicken Di-John, etc.
I normally have the attention span of a guppy, but can truly focus to listen to a friend in need.
Two years ago, I started using the GTD personal productivity system. It has dramatically increased my efficiency. If something gets into my task list, it will get done.
I can’t watch a show/movie where a very awkward encounter is predictably coming. (Meet the Parents made me nauseous with anxiety)
I am always singing a song in my head. Always. Even as I am talking to you. Right now it is “When the Levee Breaks”.
I tell people that I asked my wife to marry me at 21 years old and after only 11 weeks of dating because I needed to “lock her into a commitment because she was out of my league”. Most people think I am trying to be funny. I am not. I felt that way then and still do now. She is amazing. Best. Decision. Ever.
I often forget that I am severely color-blind. I will go on about colors as if I know what they are – and I really think I do know. I don’t. To prevent more frequent clothing color-horrors, I have learned to wear mostly blue. Blue pretty much always goes with blue. This did briefly earn me the unfortunate nickname of ‘Grover’ in college. Thankfully, it didn’t stick.
Every major injury I have had (there have been a few) has been related to ice and snow. As soon as is logistically feasible, I am wintering where there will be no more.
I have been doing Hot Yoga for just over one year. It has been one of the best, most healthy things mentally and physically I have ever done. I want to find a way to do it more.
I have way more close relationships with women than with men. I have very little idea why that is true.
I love to listen to music, from any era – 60s to today. I remember lyrics and the minute musical intricacies of thousands of songs. I would trade that in a second for the ability to remember the names of people I met yesterday.
Far and away, my best thinking comes when I am talking things out with another person serving as a foil.
There is no greater time for me than curling up with some red wine, a fire and doing nothing else but talk with Elia.

Wow... This looks longer than I intended to write. Sorry folks.
