Summary: I wouldl like a tennis partner for singles and mixed doubles
Keywords: tennis, doubles, female, intermediate skill
Date: 23 Aug 92 04:37:31 GMT

Hi, I live in Livermore, and I would be interested in finding a tennis
partner of intermediate skill who would also like playing mixed doubles.
I have not been in Livermore long enough to meet many tennis players,
but I am also willing to drive to San Ramon, Pleasanton, or Dublin areas
(and hopefully vice versa).  I'd like to play onece or twice a week,
but I am not fanatical, and I need to get back into the game.  By the
way, I view tennis as 'fun' not 'extreme competition'.

Send me mail, or phone me eve's at (510)449-8547 (leave a message
if you miss me)

   2. The smallest unit of time measurable by technology. 3. faster than
light can travel in the same nanosecond. 4. The goal of 7,000,000

Sheesh.  And I even put smileys on the end.  You know another thing
about California?  You can't find a decent sense of humor here.

Explanation: I *know* John isn't a newcomer to the net.  I am well
aware of the periodic pizza wars on ba.food.  I have a very good idea
what would happen if John were to ask this question in ba.food, and I
had a pretty fair idea that he knew too.  So, I thought maybe
suggesting that he do so might be seen as humorous.  Guess I was
mistaken.  On the other hand, if I can keep a straight face, April 1
looks like it could be very promising...

You're obviously from America, where the feminine ideal is a

Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1992 21:07:02 GMT

Toastmasters Area C-4 is holding its annual Humorous Speech and Speech 
Evaluation Contest Monday, September 21 in Palo Alto. The winners from
seven area Toastmaster clubs will compete for the honor of representing the
area at the district contest.

The contest starts at 7 p.m., preceeded an hour earlier by an open buffet
dinner and no-host bar. Admission to the contest is $2, dinner prices
haven't been set, but will be in the range of $6-$9.

The location is Harry's Hofbrau at the Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course,
1875 Embarcadero Road. To get there, take 101 to Embarcadero-East, and use
the golf course parking lot. The Hofbrau is inside the clubhouse.

This is a good way for you to see Toastmasters in action, if you've been
looking for a chance to find out more about the organization, and it
promises to be an entertaining evening. There will be two contests: one
will be a series of humorous speeches, the other will be a speech
evaluation contest where one person will give a speech, which will then be
evaluated by a representative from each of the seven area clubs. Awards
will be given for the best humorous speeches and best evaluations.

Date: Sun, 16 Aug 1992 19:00:14 GMT

The newsgroup ba.announce is for the posting of announcements that
would be of interest to the entire Bay Area Usenet Community.  The
intent is that every Usenet reader in the Bay Area should be able
to subscribe to ba.announce without being overwhelmed by volume.

Postings should be short; the ideal posting would be less than 50
lines.  Please remember to format your postings for 80-column
screens, as that is the most common screen size on the net.  Also,
please check your spelling and grammar.

Please include location information in the Subject: line!  Not counting
sites in other states and countries, the Bay Area Usenet distribution is at
least 6 hours' drive across, and longer if you take public transit.

Content is restricted to announcements only.  Discussions are not
appropriate material.  If you are announcing a meeting for an
organization that is not well-known, please feel free to include
a short statement of the organization's history and purpose as a
part of the announcement posting.  Please do not send us background
material as separate postings; it will be sent back to you.

For sale/wanted, or rental ads are not appropriate material.  Please post such
ads to the proper ba.market group.  Any postings of those types will be
returned if possible, and dropped into the bit bucket if not.

Announcements of seminars should be posted to ba.seminars.

For-sale and for-rent advertisements should be posted to the appropriate
ba.market group.

Some examples of appropriate postings:

      * An announcement of a meeting of a political organization.

      * Party announcements or other social get-togethers.

      * Conference schedule announcements, e.g. Interop or Usenix, if
        it will be held in the Bay Area.

      * Book signings, celebrity visits (authors, Usenet figures, etc).

This is gross misuse of a civic right (for lack of a better term).
Boycotts should be used for meaningful causes like injustice and unfairness
by companies.  If we were to use the logic you were suggesting, we would
go around boycotting everything that we didn't like.  Should we boycott
Coca-cola just because we got bad service at McDonalds?

Also, why should we boycott, and hurt, Anheuser Bush when they didn't have
anything to do with this sale.  If you going to boycott anybody, stop being
a wimp and boycott the people that are really responsible; ie.. Bob Lurie
and the city of St Petersburg.

That would make CBS (who really should be thanked for bringing us baseball
telecasts, even if it hurt them) and the future of baseball telecasts the
other innocent victims of the boycott.

I can understand how much anger and frustration you and other Giants fans
must feel (I would feel the same if they tried selling the Oakland A's).
But you must face the painful reality that you're in the minority right
now.  The two efforts in San Francisco and one effort in the South Bay
have shown that people either aren't that interested in the Giants or that
they're sick of the government continually throwing money at zillion dollar
projects.  Perhaps you can also blame Al Davis.  That fiasco he conducted
with the Oakland Raiders probably made people additionally weary of these
sport franchise sells.

The baseball business has not always worked this way, and does not have to
work this way.  The Brewers are in the process of privately building a
stadium in Milwaukee right now.

Why do baseball owners want publicly financed stadia?  Because if they get
a new stadia, the value of the franchise they own increases without their
having to risk their own money.  Also, if they don't own the stadium, it's
far easier to move to a greener pastures.  Teams which own their stadia are
much less likely to move or threaten to move.

The upside of a team owning the stadium is that the team has control over
how the stadium is built and maintained.
