Attending a New York Mets game at Citi Field is a phenomenal experience for locals and tourists alike. With its proximity to some excellent Asian food in Flushing, cheap ticket prices (generally), and a fun atmosphere, it's an activity we highly recommend!Brief History of Citi Field and the MetsFounded in 1962, they're based in Queens, New York, and have won two World Series championships (1969 and 1986). The team colors are blue and orange.Citi Field has been the Mets' home stadium since 2009, replacing the iconic Shea Stadium. Located in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens, the ballpark was designed as a tribute to Brooklyn's old Ebbets Field, featuring classic brick architecture. The stadium has a capacity of about 41,900 and is known for its distinctive exterior rotunda, excellent sight lines, and the Home Run Apple that rises when a Met hits a home run.It's genuinely a beautiful stadium that feels both updated and modern, yet retains its charm. I love watching planes take off and land at nearby LaGuardia Airport as the game progresses.Best Seats at Citi FieldThere are NO bad seats at Citi Field. We often scour various ticket sites for last-minute cheap tickets, then float around the stadium throughout the game.We often have the best luck on ticket prices on Vivid Seats (plus you earn rewards for free tickets).Where to Eat/Drink Before a Mets GameThere is little to nothing right next to Citi Field, so most people either eat or drink wherever they're coming from, or go to Flushing or Corona.Corona is known for Latin food, Flushing (Main St. stop on the 7) is one of the best spots in the world for Asian, and specifically Chinese food (besides China, of course).Spots in Flushing (one stop on the subway or a 20-minute walk):Nan Xiang Soup DumplingsFood court in the basement of the New World MallPeking Duck Sandwich StallChung Moo, try the homemade kimchiWhite BearThis Episode's You'll Have to Check It Out Segment - White BearCash-only and very little seating (maybe none at all post-COVID.. We aren't 100% sure).Get the wontons in chili oil (the #6).A small, single-family operation for decades, where a few people handle all aspects, from taking your order to preparing the food, etc.Open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.Check out White Bear here.Best Food Options at Citi FieldFrom their website: Guests may bring in one soft, plastic, factory-sealed water bottle of 20 ounces or less. While it doesn't mention food, many people mention it's not an issue. We've def brought in candy and the like.Citi Field was voted Best Stadium Food in 2023 and Best Baseball Stadium Food in 2024 AND 2025 on USA Today.2025#1 Best Baseball Stadium Food2024#1 Best Baseball Stadium FoodRunner-up: Best MLB Stadium2023#1 Best Stadium FoodHere are some popular food options in Citi Field:Checked out Hudson Club food hall.Souvenir helmets for ice cream $10.

Trinity Sunday! New Sermon Series! Yes please!On this Trinity Sunday, we are starting a new sermon series on the Apostles Creed titled, “tethered to truth: Apostles Creed”. We will be taking a deep dive into everything Apostles Creed. To start off the series, Pastor Jeni begins by telling what the Apostles Creed is, why it was/is needed, and how we can still cherish/value it and learn from it even today. Join us for this intriguing new series as we learn more about this ancient creed of the post-Acts Church. Things to consider as you listen:We have more resilience to remain stable in the winds and waves of difference because we are tethered to something greater than our distinctives.Brief History: dates back to the 2nd century - used as a baptismal creed - current version dates back to 8th century & has remained essentially unchanged since.“I believe…” in such a way that all other life choices & convictions will be tethered to these truths even when doubt arises.What is inside of us comes out and what comes out ends up inside of us!“God the Father Almighty” is a subversive declaration proclaiming that our God has power & authority over all other powers and authorities - seen and unseen.“…Maker of heaven & earth…” God is over all because he created all.

This week's episode of the podcast is music to our ears, as Brennan is joined by Brian Fowler, Cameron Shaw, and Zev Burrows to talk about the evergreen subject of song cues in movies - when it works, when it doesn't, when it works so well that it basically kills off your ability to listen to a song ever again without a movie scene cuing itself up in your mind's eye. Before spinning those platters, the movie roundtable has a plethora of new releases, with Brian begrudgingly making it out to Karate Kid: Legends, Cameron muscling through all three hours of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, and Brennan going gaga for Final Destination Bloodlines. Zev, meanwhile, is channeling the spirit of the absent Tim to discuss a decades-old documentary, Errol Morris's A Brief History of Time.

In 2016 the United States was stunned by evidence of Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election. But it shouldn't have been. Subversion—domestic interference to undermine or manipulate a rival—is as old as statecraft itself. In A Measure Short of War: A Brief History of Great Power Subversion (Oxford UP, 2025) Jill Kastner and William C. Wohlforth provide a compelling ride through the history of subversion. They examine subversion's allure, its operational possibilities, and argue that, in our high stakes, changing technological landscape, a clear-eyed understanding of the history and parameters of subversion can help polities defend against it. Jill Kastner is a scholar in the Department of War Studies at Kings College London. She has a doctorate in History from Harvard University. She specializes in Cold War crises in Berlin and the Middle East. Her work has appeared in The Nation and Foreign Affairs. William C Wohlforth is the Daniel Webster Professor of Government at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. His most recent books are America Abroad: The United States' Global Role in the 21st Century (2018), Written with Stephen G Brooks, and The History of International Relations and Russian Foreign Policy in the 20th century (2020), co edited with Anatoly V.

George W. Bush And The 2007-08 Financial Crisis And A Brief History of America's Economic DevelopmentInterview with Dan OstranderIn this My Life Now episode, Dallas interviews author Dan Ostrander.About the Book:Foreword by President George Bush. This book is about political pragmatism and presidential leadership. It demonstrates from an historical perspective that political pragmatism, in many cases, is an essential ingredient of effective Presidential leadership. Something in politics that some politicians do not understand, but Presidents Bush, Ford, FDR, Lincoln, and Jefferson did, is that a President is elected to lead the country in the direction which is best for the American people. There are times when historical events force a President to lead the country in a direction supported neither by the general public nor his party and is neither in his nor his party's immediate political interest. But as President, Abraham Lincoln believed he would serve his party best by serving his country first. In order to prepare the reader to evaluate the leadership of Bush in the 1990 Budget Agreement, and Presidential leadership in general, the first chapter of the book discusses the sources of Presidential power. In doing so, the changes in the role of the office of the Presidency, as dictated by history, are viewed through the actions of earlier Presidents. The following chapters demonstrate great acts of political courage by Presidents who led the country in a direction that was not popularly supported during their Presidency. The final two chapters show how the Bush Administration established the economic structure which has led to the longest economic expansion of our history. Bush has never been an advocate of high taxes, but in order for the American people to have the opportunity to use their talents and entrepreneurship to work their magic on the economy there are times when courageous leadership and personal sacrifices have to be made. In 1990 President Bush made that sacrifice. Bush had the vision to see the direction the country must move and had the personal character and integrity to lead his party and the country in that direction.The mark of a great President and a great party is to provide superior and principled leadership and ideas; it is not merely to win an election. Now, as a result of the economic recovery initiated by the 1990 Budget Agreement, Bush has demonstrated that Lincoln was right. A President does serve his party best by serving his country first.Buy Your Copy of the Book: https://a.co/d/cTRIvmCThank you for listening to and supporting the My Life Now podcast show.

Ukrainian resistance to the Russian invasion has once again brought to light an old topic: the cruelty of Russian imperialism—both past and present. In this episode, we explore the major historical periods and defining features of Russian imperialism since the 16th century. This conversation will help you understand that Ukraine's experience is one of the most visible examples, but by no means the only one. Our guest today is Donnacha Ó Beacháin, an Irish political scientist, professor at Dublin City University, and author of the recent book "Unfinished Empire: Russian Imperialism in Ukraine and the Near Abroad" (https://cup.columbia.edu/book/unfinished-empire/9781788218016/) Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, and the president of PEN Ukraine. Explaining Ukraine podcast is produced by UkraineWorld, an English-language media outlet about Ukraine, run by Internews Ukraine. You can support our work at: https://www.patreon.com/c/ukraineworld. Your support is crucial, as we rely heavily on crowdfunding. You can also support our volunteer trips to frontline areas in Ukraine, where we provide assistance to both soldiers and civilians.

HOUR ONE: More than a hundred years ago, reports described it as “the most weird and gruesome apartment in the world.” Why display an entire room full of grotesque items and open it to the public? (New York Charnel House) *** Kell's Irish Pub in Seattle has a creepy vibe to it, even if the displays and decorations inside aren't meant to be. Perhaps that's because the building started its life as a massive mortuary. (The Beaux Arts Butterworth Building) *** Early one February morning in 1897, John Mars jumped out of bed from a sound sleep, and while the smell of breakfast cooking downstairs wafted up to the second level of the house, he inexplicably grabbed his pistol and went on a shooting spree of his own family. (The Act of a Mad Man) *** A four-year-old has a paranormal experience… and the man he grew into over 60 years later is still unsure of what happened to him. (The Lady Laughing In My Bedroom)==========HOUR TWO: A Malaysian Haunted House To Sell *** The brutal death of an African slave brings a curse upon the wooden chest he was ordered to construct. (The Conjure Chest) *** 
In Tuscaloosa, Alabama there is a home built by slaves that is considered the most haunted in Alabama. (The Haunting of Drish House) *** Drivers are reporting strange, ghostly orbs following them on dark roads. (Haunted Roads and Spook Lights) ==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Dang Tan Ngoc is a well-known conman who has used the names of multiple dead soldiers to con veteran groups into giving him money. One identity he stole created a fascinating but dark story. (The Strange Return Of Master Sgt. John Hartley Robertson) *** A woman comes home to find her visiting sister murdered – and police were convinced she was the one who committed the crime. So what went wrong with the case to allow her to get away with it? (Did Ida Do It?) *** A bordello, pizza, and a haunting. You can find them all at the Red Onion Saloon. (Red Onion Saloon) *** Plus, I'll share two Creepypastas from Weirdo family members. “A Brief History of Egberting” from Louise Latham, and “Dreamality“ from Kara Raisch.==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:“The Lady Laughing In My Bedroom” by Geof James: (link no longer available)“New York Charnel House”: (site no longer exists)“The Beaux Arts Butterworth Building” by Meg van Huygen: https://tinyurl.com/y7h2mkyr“The Act of a Madman” by Robert Wilhelm: https://tinyurl.com/y9757b7d“A Malaysian Haunted House to Sell” by Brandon Grimes for Paranormality Magazine: (site no longer exists)“The Conjure Chest” for The Unexplained Mysteries: https://tinyurl.com/m9w2ffg“The Haunting of Drish House” by Amanda Penn for Horror Media: (site no longer exists)“Haunted Roads and Spook Lights” by Brent Swancer for Mysterious Universe: https://tinyurl.com/ydfwg875“The Strange Return Of Master Sgt.

Aparna Chennapragada is the chief product officer of experiences and devices at Microsoft, where she oversees AI product strategy for their productivity tools and work on agents. Previously, she was the CPO at Robinhood, spent 12 years at Google, and is also on the board of eBay and Capital One.What you'll learn:1. How “prompt sets are the new PRDs” and why prototyping with AI is now essential for effective product development2. The three key characteristics of AI agents: autonomy (delegation of tasks), complexity (handling multi-step challenges), and natural interaction (conversing beyond simple chat)3. Why NLX (natural language experience) is the new UX, requiring deliberate design principles for conversational interfaces4.
