Re: “Best Sports Astrologer”
Andrea is a great Astrologer. She uses intuition, insight and skill to help shed light on what is really going on beyond what we may see. She has helped me with some major decisions in my life. Her compassion and wisdom combined with her sharp astrology tools have been extremely beneficial to me. I recommend her to anyone striving for right action in their life. She knows her sports, too. It's all about cause and effect, is it not?
Re: “Best Sports Astrologer”
Andrea is amazing -- an not just for baseball. I strongly recommend you get a reading yourself and check out her skills in helping you make your way through the twists & turns of your life!

Re: “Best Martial Arts Studio”
Yay! I've been training at this dojo for almost 10 years, and can attest to what a great place it is. I don't think I would have lasted this long anywhere else!

How about an actual date?
Re: “Best Place to Swim Laps”
The Richmond Swim Center is NOT Olympic size!
An Olympic size pool is 50 meters long by 25 meters wide and at least 2 meters deep.
The Richmond facility has ten 25 yard long lanes for organized swimming with a non rectangular zero depth area for recreation.
This pool could use a few type A individuals to run a decently organized lap program for a couple of hours a day. Taking the lane lines out and having folks swim across the deep end with no walls to turn on makes lap swimming a joke here.
Try El Cerrito or Albany.
Re: “Best Running Club”
I've been a member since 2003 when I moved to the East Bay and I love the inclusivity and warm welcome accorded runners, joggers, and walkers of all levels. From teams that regularly win state-wide competitions to Saturday fun-run groups jogging 11 or 12 minute miles, everyone's equal and equally valued. Having once belonged to a club from the opposite extreme, (the elite Santa Monica Track Club) I know the difference and LMJS is the group for me. Quick add-on: we had 35 people run in the SF marathon and half marathons on Sunday -- everyone finished, everyone had fun, and one or two of our members medalled. Now that's cool!
Re: “Best in the West”
YES! Many thanks for your mention. My family and I are long-time season ticket holders, and in less than five years, we've watched Cal WBB climb from mediocre to promising to damn good. At $10 a ticket, with discounts for seniors and kids, the team is also an excellent entertainment value. (Note to women's basketball fans: You can see Lexi Gray-Lawson and her stellar fellow guards Lauren Greif and Natasha Vital, plus most of Cal's highly rated incoming rookies, for free at the summer pro-am games at Kezar Pavilion: www.sanfranciscoproam.com.
(By the way, it's Joanne Boyle.)

Re: “The New Extreme Sports”
I think good health care will come until we realize what are those unhealthy foods we intake. Good diet will do.We're paying more these days not only at the gas pump but also at the grocery store. Blame it on rising oil prices, disappointing crop yields, global warming, and/or the weak dollar.Planning ahead is the most important step to getting more bang for your buck at the grocery store,.Eating healthier foods can actually save you money and health against possible diseases.The researchers found that when families went on weight loss diets, they not only lost weight but reduced their food budgets.Learn how to control spending. It helps minimize the possibility og getting personal loans. Read more click http://personalmoneystore.com/Personal-Loans/
Re: “Best Kids Karate Instructor”
Pat Morita was a great guy for the Karate Kid series, I have the first two on Blu-Ray. The name Mr. Miyagi is one of the founders of Goju Ryu. A new Pleasanton karate school (http://www.trivalleykarate.com) is opening up in January 2013; it will have much of the same spirit of karate Mr. Miyagi embraced in the movies. We will strive to maintain the highest principles of karatedo.
Karate begins and end with respect. Train you body, mind, and spirit. Never give up. Keep trying. Try your best to improve who you were yesterday. This is karatedo. :)
