13 Women, 30 Activities and One Goal: Make Friends
Imagine walking into a party where you know almost no one (pathetic) — a party at which I, a stranger to you (probably), have arrived well before you (sorry). Should this occur in real life, it is inevitable that shortly after your entrance, as you are tentatively probing the scene in search of safe ingress into social traffic, I will yank you, abruptly, into the middle of a conversation. I will turn to you and start talking as if you’d been involved in the discussion for an hour. I will lob questions at you that are tailored so that any answer you give can be right. Soon, you will forget I dragged you into this interaction; your easy popularity will seem, in retrospect, inevitable. You will most likely feel at least vaguely friendly toward me, because I so clearly want to be your friend. And the whole time I am doing this — because, despite your rewritten recollections, I am the one doing all of this — I will be thinking: Oh, my God, I’m doing it again. I hate this. I hate this.

What Vietnam’s alleyways can teach the Bay Area about bureaucracy and community
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 On a recent trip to Vietnam, I’m pretty sure I found one key to a happy and harmonious urban life. During the drippy, languid hours of mid-day heat in Ho Chi Minh City, which many also call Saigon, I frequently ducked into every hẻm, or alleyway, that I saw for a little bit of shade. They quickly became my favorite places in the city. Lined with homes and storefronts that opened up directly into the street, these alleyways were filled with scooter parking, lush potted trees, craft workshops, shrines wafting with incense smoke, and baskets of various things for sale. Cars, still a rarity in this city, occasionally snagged parking at alley entrances when they could. In these alleyways, where the vast majority of residents live, the division between one’s own property and the street is more of a suggestion rather than a rule. Life spills out of the home and onto the streets, where … [Read more...] about What Vietnam’s alleyways can teach the Bay Area about bureaucracy and community
Behind the rise of Shipley’s Do-Nuts from mom-and-pop to national chain
Many national food conglomerates in the U.S. tout stories of humble beginnings. Shipley Do-Nuts , known here simply as Shipley's, is a Houston success story that went from mom-and-pop to ubiquitous chain across the American South. Here's how it started, and how it's going. How it started As the saying goes: "Behind every great man is a great woman." In the case of Lawrence Shipley, Sr., the woman was his wife Lillie, whose family owned a doughnut shop in Dallas, where he honed his leavened fried dough chops. The business-minded Shipley Sr. learned what he could of the doughnut trade, opening and then selling his own shop in Dallas—reportedly for $350. He moved to Houston, where he worked tirelessly to develop a recipe for a quality doughnut that would withstand the city's sticky climate. The resulting treat held its glaze perfectly, and would eventually become the catalyst for his nearly century-old doughnut empire. The craving for a Shipley's doughnut wasn't so easy to … [Read more...] about Behind the rise of Shipley’s Do-Nuts from mom-and-pop to national chain
What the Fish Said
Jump to: Tricky Clues | Today’s Theme MONDAY PUZZLE — When people first start solving crosswords, their goal tends to be simple: Most just want to understand the clue and to have a decent chance at coming up with the correct answer. And that’s understandable. Everyone has to start somewhere. But there is so much more to enjoy inside a puzzle — even on a Monday, long considered to be the “easiest” crossword of the week — than just maintaining a rote tempo of clue, answer, clue, answer. I encourage solvers to stop and smell the cruciverbal roses whenever possible. Notice the wordplay in the clues and marvel at the minds that come up with these punny delights. I also like to watch a good theme develop as I solve. To some, the theme is one of the building blocks of the grid. To me, it’s the cherry on the sundae, because I get to enjoy some bonus wordplay. Just because a puzzle is said to be “easy” doesn’t mean it lacks challenge or fun. The theme of today’s puzzle, by Adam … [Read more...] about What the Fish Said
Chicago Bears spring storylines: Ryan Poles’ patient approach, David Montgomery’s exit and DeMarcus Walker’s newfound purpose
The Chicago Bears roster is changing by the day. In an offseason defined by turnover, the Bears have added 10 players this month via trade or free agency. More new faces will be on the way as the latter waves of free agency hit the shore. The Bears also have 10 picks in next month’s draft and will continue to mold their team under the guidance of general manager Ryan Poles. As Poles crosses the bridge from free agency to the draft, here are three notable storylines to keep tabs on. ‘We can’t fix everything’ Two weeks before the free-agent market opened, Ryan Poles was asked for a realistic vision of what he could accomplish this spring. “You always have to be on your toes to adapt and adjust,” Poles said during the scouting combine in Indianapolis. “But at the end of the day, I’ll make it simple: (The goal) is to improve our football team and get as many guys on our roster who can help us do what we are trying to do — which is win a lot of games.” On Thursday morning, … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears spring storylines: Ryan Poles’ patient approach, David Montgomery’s exit and DeMarcus Walker’s newfound purpose
