Please indulge this self-indulgence, but Tuesday night I did something I never have done. What I saw and heard during a live sports telecast was so disgusting, so depressing that I turned off the TV and read a book.
On MSG-Plus, the Penguins were at the Islanders when Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby took a stick to the face, fell to his knees and began to drip blood on the ice.
The crowd in Nassau Coliseum instantly erupted in joy. This wasn't the kind of gleeful, audible noise made by 10 or 20, or even 50 desensitized fools, but by hundreds, and more likely thousands. The joy was loud, long and lousy with the sickness that was inevitable, given the cumulative effects of being urged — trained — to become remorseless wise guys and group participation punks.
And when Crosby, among the most talented players in the NHL, skated off for medical treatment, those Coliseum patrons chanted, "Crosby sucks!"
On MSG, announcers Howie Rose and Butch Goring — the latter a Lady Byng Trophy winner for gentlemanly conduct while playing in the NHL — said nothing about the MSG team's home crowd's behavior, perhaps conditioned, if not compelled, to ignore such things.
Sad, sadder, saddest. For years, this is where our sports culture has been headed. I thought I could stomach anything, get past it. But Tuesday, for the first time, it was time. Time to shut off the TV and read a book. Never thought it ever could come to that.

DE CORDOVA, JACOB RAPHAEL (1808–1868). Jacob Raphael De Cordova, Texas land agent and colonizer, was born in Spanish Town (near Kingston), Jamaica, on June 6, 1808, the youngest of three sons of Judith and Raphael De Cordova. Since his mother died at his birth, he was reared by an aunt in England. He was well educated and became proficient in English, French, Spanish, German, and Hebrew. His father, a Jewish Jamaican coffee grower and exporter, moved to Philadelphia, where he became president of Congregation Mikveh Israel in 1820. Jacob joined his father in Philadelphia, and there he married Rebecca Sterling about 1826 and learned the printing trade. His ancestors had supported themselves as printers for generations, beginning in the sixteenth century, when a De Cordova in Spain published Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca's explorations in Texas. In 1834 Jacob moved back to Kingston, where he and his brother Joshua started a newspaper, the Kingston Daily Gleaner that still exists today as The Gleaner. In early 1836 Jacob went to New Orleans, where he shipped cargoes of staples to Texas during its struggle for independence. At this time he served a term as Grand Master of the Odd Fellows. After the battle of San Jacinto he visited the Republic of Texas to install members in the Odd Fellows lodges, the first established outside the United States.
He settled in Texas in 1839 and lived in Galveston and later Houston, where he was elected a state representative to the Second Texas Legislature in 1847. He served for one term but lost the election in 1849. De Cordova traveled extensively through Texas, including the frontier western areas. Through scrip and direct purchase he acquired large amounts of land to sell to settlers; at one time he had a million acres in scrip or title. To attract settlers to Texas, he made speeches on Texas in New York, Philadelphia, and other cities, and even to the cotton-spinners association in Manchester, England. His lectures were published on both sides of the Atlantic and were widely read. His land agency, which he owned with his half-brother Phineas De Cordova, became one of the largest such agencies that ever operated in the Southwest. De Cordova and two other men laid out the town of Waco in 1848–49. Town lots of an acre sold for five dollars, and nearby farmland brought two to three dollars an acre. At the urging of his wife, De Cordova reserved free sites for schools, churches, and commons.
De Cordova and Robert Creuzbaur compiled the Map of the State of Texas, first published in 1849. Much subsequent Texas cartography (see MAPS) was based on this map, which was praised by Sam Houston on the floor of the United States Senate. Books De Cordova wrote that were influential in attracting settlers included The Texas Immigrant and Traveller's Guide Book (1856), and Texas, Her Resources and Her Public Men (1858), the first attempt at an encyclopedia of Texas. Jacob and Phineas De Cordova published two early Texas newspapers, the Texas Herald (also known as De Cordova's Herald and Immigrant's Guide) out of Houston and the Southwestern American out of Austin. The latter was at the solicitation of Governor Peter H. Bell and helped to pass the Compromise of 1850, which resulted in a $10 million payment to Texas for adjusted boundaries after annexation. In the 1850s De Cordova moved from Austin to Seguin, where five miles from town he built for his wife and five children a fine country home, which he called Wanderer's Retreat. In the 1860s he tried to develop a power project on the Brazos River in Bosque County for textile mills to spin Texas cotton. The Civil War brought financial reverses to De Cordova. When he died on January 26, 1868, he was buried in Kimball, but in 1935 his body and that of his wife were moved to the State Cemetery. He was survived by five children. The De Cordova Bend in the Brazos River south of Fort Worth, and the De Cordova Bend Dam which impounds Lake Granbury, were both named for him.

On the eve of the race, her musher and brother, recovering alcoholic Robb Pierce (Philip Granger), is killed, it seems, in a drunken fall.
On the eve of the race, her musher and brother, recovering alcoholic Robb Pierce (Philip Granger), is killed, it seems, in a drunken fall.
It's up to Jessie to mush now. At the race's start, she meets race rookie Alex Jensen (Bernsen) and Bomber Gates (Damian), a hot-headed musher who will do anything to win; the three become friends, helping each other along the trail. But as the race heats up, mushers star dying "accidentally," and the fix is in: The participants offed were the race leaders. Considering that the prize money is $ 50,000, the killer seems to be going to a lot of trouble. Lots of ineffective contrived scares, red herrings and an incongruous romance , which slow the pace considerably, are off-putting. It's obvious who the killer is right away; the transparent plot undermines the thrills. The only genuine thrill involves Jackson's sled team. "Cold" makes exceptional use of its beautiful locations and it's obvious Jackson & co. have done a lot of research into the race. Kudos to the adorable dogs.Cold Heart of a Killer
(Tues. (9), 9-11 p.m., CBS)
Filmed in Alaska and Yukon Territory, Canada, by Carla Singer Prods. Exec producers, Kate Jackson, Carla Singer; producer, Joan Carson; director, Paul Schneider; writers, Mimi Rothman Schapiro, Bill Wells, Colley Cibber; camera, Richard Leiterman; editor, Michael Robison; production designer, Patricia van Ryker; sound, Roger Stafeckis; music, Simon Kendall, Al Rogers, Michelle Allen. Cast: Kate Jackson, Corbin Bernsen, Michael Damian, Philip Granger, Shaun Johnson, Kevin Zegers, Matthew Walker, Louise Valance, Nick Allen, David Gillmor, Ron McFadyen, Phil Adams, Ned Cathers. The Iditarod, the punishing sled-dogs-and-driver race from Anchorage to Nome, is the setting for this mild thriller toplining the credible and extremely likable Kate Jackson. The breathtaking scenery -- telepic was filmed in Alaska and Canada's Yukon Territory -- and the TV star power of Jackson, Corbin Bernsen and Michael Damian may draw viewers, but the weak plotting and meager payoff will leave auds cold. Jessie Arnold (Jackson) breeds champion huskies for competitive dog-sled racing, but has fallen on economic hard times. Arnold really needs her dogs to run and win the Iditarod to prove the new breed she's devloped is the best.

The best part of the new photo (via Bleeding Cool) besides Harris's upturned mustache, is the fact that Theron is packing lead -- two six shooters by the looks of it. Also, why is Amanda Seyfried so covered up? Isn't this the type of movie that would encourage lusty heaving bosoms? Or no?
"A Million Ways to Die in the West," which co-stars Liam Neeson, Giovanni Ribisi, and Sarah Silverman, none of whom made this particular photo op, was co-written, produced, and directed by MacFarlane, who will mercifully be staying away from this year's Oscar telecast. The official synopsis follows:
The film marks MacFarlane's highly anticipated big-screen follow-up to "Ted" and will be out May 30.After a cowardly sheep farmer [Seth MacFarlane] backs out of a gunfight, his fickle girlfriend [Amanda Seyfried] leaves him for another man [Neil Patrick Harris]. When a mysterious and beautiful woman [Charlize Theron] rides into town, she helps him find his courage and they begin to fall in love. But when her husband, a notorious outlaw, arrives seeking revenge, the farmer must put his newfound courage to the test.

Abstract | This paper introduces ComposAR, a tool to allow a wide audience to author AR and MR applications. It is unique in that it supports both visual programming and interpretive scripting, and an immediate mode for runtime testing. ComposAR is written in Python which means the user interface and runtime behavior can be easily customized and third-party modules can be incorporated into the authoring environment. We describe the design philosophy and the resulting user interface,lessons learned and directions for future research. |

When you ask for New York restaurant recommendations, the name Momofuku often arises. Momofuku, which is Japanese for "lucky peach," is its own little culinary empire in the East Village, currently consisting of four restaurants and a bakery. The Chef-Owner is David Chang, a Korean-American who has garnered an excellent reputation, having won several culinary honors. Prior to opening Momofuku Noodle Bar, his first restaurant in 2004, David worked in the kitchens of a few famed chefs including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Daniel Boulud and Tom Colicchio. A number of my friends strongly recommended that I check out the Momofuku restaurants.
So, on my recent trip to New York City, I scheduled some time to visit Momofuku Ssäm Bar and Milk Bar, which are located across the street from each other. Their menus change frequently and they attempt to use local and sustainable ingredients, whenever possible. They are both worthy culinary destinations in the East Village.
I first stopped at the Milk Bar, a creative and intriguing bakery. It is a small place, with a short counter where you could stand and partake of their baked goods. There are also benches outside where you can sit while eating one of their treats. But mainly it is a takeout place, where you can buy baked goods to take home with you.
The menu is eclectic, with items which would be good for breakfast, dessert or a savory snack. Where else might you find a Compost Cookie, which contains pretzels, potato chips, butterscotch, oats, coffee, and chocolate? True to its name, they also sell milk jugs and milk shakes, as well as cereal milk soft serve.
The baked goods all look very appealing, and I tried some of the cookies, cake truffles and corn bread. Everything was very fresh, and lasted well for a couple days. The Cornflake cookie, with marshmallows and chocolate chips, was soft with an interesting crunchy texture and gooey marshmallow highlights. It was tasty, with plenty of chocolate chips, and some buttery notes. I really enjoyed the cookie and recommend it. The Blueberry cookie has dried blueberries and milk crumbs and was also very good, flavorful with a nice texture to it.
The Birthday Cake truffles and Banana Hazelnut Chocolate truffles looked like small donut holes, and had rich flavors, and a more cakey texture. My favorite of the two was the Banana, as I liked the interplay of the different tastes. The Cornbread was also a delight, containing cortija cheese, jalapenos and corn kernels. It was moist with a spicy undertone from the jalapenos, and the cortija added a bit of creaminess to it. An excellent savory item, I really wish I had brought more of this home with me.
This sampling impressed me and I would gladly return there on my next visit to NYC. If you want some more creative baked goods, high on flavor, then make sure to visit Milk Bar.
After buying a few things at the Milk Bar, I went across the street to have lunch at Ssäm Bar. In Korea, ssäm refers to "wrapped food." The restaurant is medium-sized, though basically separated into two sections, one which has a bar. At lunch, they have a more limited menu, specializing in rotisserie duck, including dishes such as duck dumpling soup, duck sandwich and pulled duck bun. They also have small plates, including broccoli salad, spicy fingerling potatoes, and pickles.
The ducks come from Crescent Farms on Long Island, and you can watch them cooking in the rotisserie. Lunch plates run from $12-$14, and small plates from $5-$11. You order at the counter, take a seat, and then wait for your food to be delivered. I should note that when you order soda, you receive a chilled glass, which probably would be the same for beer. As I enjoy my soda ice cold, this is a nice element.
Their beer and wine list is eclectic and interesting. You will find local New York brews, but also beers from South Korea and California. Unfortunately, they do not carry any New York wines (which I think they should remedy), though you will find wines such as Chateau Musar from Lebanon, sparkling Riesling from Germany and Italian Rose. If local is so important to them, then why don't they carry New York wines?
I selected the lunch plate ($14) with Rotisserie Duck over rice, with ginger scallion, ssäm sauce, and crispy shallot. You can also add on lettuce ($1) or chive pancake ($2), to make your own wrap if you wish. The chive pancake is a thin, crisp and tasty pancake, which I really enjoyed. The first bite of my duck was exquisite, so tender and juicy, nearly melting in my mouth. The crispy skin was addictive, and I had to stop myself from moaning in pleasure. This was one of the best sliced duck dishes I have ever tasted and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Cooked perfectly, it will excite even a jaded palate.
I also ordered the Steamed Pork Buns ($10), with hoisin sauce, cucumbers, and scallions. The pork belly was as tender as the duck, melting in your mouth with each bite. The soft steamed bun seemed lighter than regular bread, and the hoisin sauce added a tangy aspect to the sandwich. You could probably just order this as your lunch, as you receive two buns.
An amazing lunch, indicative of the culinary genius of Chef Chang. I must check out the rest of his restaurants, as well as have dinner at Ssäm Bar. All of the positive press he has received seems well deserved. Lunch at Ssäm Bar gets my highest recommendation, and if you go, you must try the rotisserie duck.

Minnesota Wild are on Zach Parise's short list

- Comments Off on Minnesota Wild are on Zach Parise's short list
The Wild didn't end the first day of free agency having signed either of the two franchise players they're chasing. But they did make significant progress with one of them.
According to a person with knowledge of the situation, the Wild are on the short list of teams New Jersey Devils forward Zach Parise is still considering. The Wild announced early on Sunday afternoon they had offered contracts to both Parise and Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Suter, and Parise's agent, Wade Arnott, said the Minneapolis native has narrowed his list of suitors down to a "small, select list," adding he will likely make a decision tomorrow.
After more than a dozen teams began the day chasing Parise, the Wild appear to have made the first cut.
People with knowledge of the situation have said the WIld won't be outspent as they pursue Parise, though they're in competition with teams like Detroit, Pittsburgh and New Jersey, which hopes to re-sign Parise after he led them to the Stanley Cup finals. But the Wild are hoping to sell Parise on their group of young prospects and the idea of helping to build a contending team in his home state.
General manager Chuck Fletcher would not comment on the Wild's status with Parise, or negotiations with Parise and Suter, saying in a press conference that the team is still early in the process. "I don't want to comment on details," he said. "It'll be what it'll be."

Minnesota Wild: Ryan Suter "still gathering lots of information"

- Comments Off on Minnesota Wild: Ryan Suter "still gathering lots of information"
Neil Sheehy, Ryan Suter's agent, said a few minutes ago that he is still in the process of sorting through information from teams, and that there have been no face-to-face meetings with his client yet. Suter is at his farm in Wisconsin this weekend, while Sheehy is calling teams back from International Falls.
One report said Suter was close to picking the Red Wings as his destination, but both the team and Sheehy dismissed the idea that the former Nashville defenseman was nearing a decision. Sheehy had spoken to Suter once today, and the agent said he thinks Suter needs to "consider all the information.
"We're still gathering lots of information, and we're not ready to have that discussion yet (about where he wants to go)," Sheehy said. "If teams can't wait, we certainly understand that. But we have to go through all this and do what we have to do."
Detroit has been a popular prediction for where Suter will land, and it wouldn't be surprising if he does eventually wind up there. But the level of interest in both Suter and Zach Parise has reached dizzying levels today, and it seems unlikely either player will make a decision on Day 1 of NHL free agency.
Minnesota Wild: Offers in to Zach Parise, Ryan Suter

- Comments Off on Minnesota Wild: Offers in to Zach Parise, Ryan Suter
This probably shouldn't come as any surprise, considering how bold they planned to be, but the Wild announced a few minutes ago they've already made contract offers to Zach Parise and Ryan Suter.
The team's strategy is clearly to strike fast, in hopes they can offer more cash than any of the other teams pursuing both players. Announcing the offers is a way to show fans they're doing everything they can.
The Wild don't plan to go to Mississauga, Ontario, to visit with Parise unless they get word from Newport Sports that they should, and they'll talk with Suter's agent, Neil Sheehy, by phone, as well.
And their announcement of the contract offers already earned them one round of ribbing from the Kings' always-witty Twitter account, which said the "Kings have talked about submitting contract offers to free agents."
It's already shaping up to be a silly day.

- Comments Off on Minnesota Wild: Zach Parise watch kicking off
It's July 1, and the start of NHL free agency is about 80 minutes away. Zach Parise was reportedly meeting one last time with New Jersey Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello, with more than a dozen teams likely waiting to make their pitch to him starting at 11 a.m. Central time if he hits free agency.
Parise will be with his Newport Sports Management agents at their offices in in Mississauga, Ontario, today, and according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, the Red Wings have a delegation on the way there to meet with Parise.
The Wild's plan, according to a person with knowledge of it, is a little different. Owner Craig Leipold will fly to St. Paul to begin meeting with general manager Chuck Fletcher and begin contacting agents, but if the Wild brass is told to go to the Greater Toronto Area, they will.
That makes some sense when you're trying to fight a war on two fronts, as it were; the Wild need to make just as strong of a pitch to Ryan Suter as they do to Parise. With Suter at his farm in the Madison area and agent Neil Sheehy in International Falls, the Wild can begin the process via phone and email, rather than making it look like they're favoring one player over the other. It seems hard to believe that Parise will make a decision today, and my guess is the Wild will end up in Mississauga today, but we'll see how things develop.
It should be interesting. I'll be tweeting throughout the day at @BenGoesslingPP, and you can always check here for more.

Sweat Equity Pays Off
by Paula CrossfieldIn the fall of 1988, Siobhan Meow entered 21-23 Avenue C with a flashlight. The stairs were broken up with a sledgehammer, syringes lined the floor and holes in the roof lit the debris collected over 12 years of abandonment. For Meow, this place represented new hope. She had been living in the basement of a local community center and didn't have the funds to rent an apartment. Instead, Meow sought out an alternative living arrangement: live for free in a forgotten part of the city in a forgotten building, and make it yours.
By the late '80s, Alphabet City was littered with abandoned buildings after a downturn in the economy led to mass foreclosures. Local businesses closed, arson became all too common, landlords left and squatters moved in. For most, like Meow, squatting was out of necessity.
Nearly 20 years later, Meow still lives at 21-23 Avenue C, where a spray-painted message on the front door recently read, "Yuppies stay on the other side of Avenue B." The building is called the Umbrella House because of the early days when inhabitants used umbrellas indoors. Cinderblocks disguised by orange paint block the former storefront space, and the ubiquitous three-dollar black umbrellas, painted yellow, green and white as if some part of a community project, hang from the fire escapes.
Meow emerges from the building with her honey-colored curls tucked under a white sunhat. She is tall, even with slumped shoulders. Her skin doesn't give away her age, which I guessed from her stories to be nearing fifty. Large hands and broad shoulders are the only physical attributes that make known her past, when she lived as a man. She is moving slowly, recovering from a recent surgery, so we ducked into the nearest café – one of the new cafés in the Far East Village, lured by cheaper rent but struggling because of a location on a less-traveled side street. This particular café has the best almond croissant I've ever tasted, but the atmosphere is a bit gaudy, with golden chairs, a leopard print divan and glass table tops.
Meow is a little suspicious of me at first, so I attempt to win her over with a gift of catnip and some lunch. She orders a duck pâté sandwich with cornichons saying, "It would be hypocritical for me not to eat meat, living with 42 carnivores." Her carnivorous roommates are her cats, from which she takes her name, and with which she shares about 800 square feet of living space.
She shows me pictures of her cats as we eat. For each photo she tells me a name: Neferkitty, Buick, Monk and Mr. Yams. At one time she had 89, but she only takes new cats with a donation now, and most are listed for adoption on Petfinder.com. Her income comes from cat sitting, though she says that people are going on fewer vacations than they used to.
Meow grew up in rural Pennsylvania, where she was married and fathered two children. After the birth of her second daughter, Meow told her wife that she'd rather live her life as a woman, and that she was primarily interested in men. "Of course she didn't want to be a lesbian and neither did I, so I had to leave," says Meow.
Meow's daughters were six and two when she left. "My older daughter hates me," she says. "She was old enough that she had an idea of me as the male persona I created to deal with society, and she blames me for killing that image. My younger daughter and I are close," she continues. "She lived with me for two years before moving to Brooklyn with her boyfriend."
Upon coming to New York, Meow worked various odd jobs, such as posing for life drawing classes, and moved into the basement of ABC No Rio, a community arts organization on Rivington Street. She began to wear women's clothes and take black-market hormones. She frequented eviction watch meetings, looking to meet others with an interest in finding a building to squat in.
Over the last decade, as real estate values have increased in Manhattan, squatting has come to an impasse: Integrate or be eradicated. The police and squatters have long been at odds. Meow recalls a stalemate in which the inhabitants of the Umbrella House enclosed themselves for two days by cementing doorways shut while riot cops waited outside.
"They could have easily plowed right through our barricade and removed us like they had done to others before," Meow says, referring to evictions at 541 and 545 East 13th Street, where squatters were kicked out in the middle of the night and looked on as their buildings were demolished. "I had a sign in my window that said "I'm willing to die for my home, how about you?" she says. Meow attributes the end of the standoff to a call she placed to Howard Stern—by then a friend of hers—about the incident. "I knew he knew [former Mayor Edward] Koch and might pull some strings for us," she said.
Much to the surprise of the squatter community, the Giuliani administration decided in 2001 that the city would compromise, and the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board (UHAB) approached each building to broker agreements. For most squatters it was an offer they couldn't refuse. Today, 11 of the 12 remaining squats are involved in the deal that will allow them to own their apartments. UHAB is overseeing construction work that will bring each of the 11 buildings up to code, and the squatters will become owners in exchange for a monthly maintenance fee to cover home improvement loans. There are restrictions on resale, making the apartments strictly available to lower-income households. But the buildings will become cooperatives, maintaining the community the squatters have forged.
After UHAB's symbolic purchase of the 11 buildings for $1 each was announced, The New York Post was quick to denounce the move as "despicable," saying, essentially, the squatters didn't deserve to get something for nothing. But City Councilwoman Margarita Lopez and others have argued that salvaging these buildings was purposeful, resulting in affordable housing for nearly 240 individuals. "The residents are a diverse group of people, but what they have in common is a history of putting in long hours of physical labor into reclaiming abandoned homes and making them livable," says Joe Center, Associate Director of UHAB.
Squatters like to call that physical labor "sweat equity." I ask Meow about her experience making the Umbrella House more livable. "It was a true ruin," she says, reminiscing. "We had to go up the fire escape to get to other floors. One of the first projects I spearheaded was to make stairs. The sidewalk at Avenue A and St. Mark's [Place] was being ripped up and there was all this rebar that we took and cut and laid cement over."
Another project was to fix the sewer line, which residents completed without permission from the city, over the course of a weekend. "The city told us we couldn't block traffic on Avenue C with the hole we made so that we could have direct access to the line," she says. "So we covered the hole with plywood and then dug through our basement all the way to the line, working 24 hours a day in 12 hour shifts until the line was fixed. I'm surprised nobody died because every time a car passed over us rocks and debris would fall down on whoever was in the crawl space."
Meow is receiving disability checks for injuries incurred while working on the Umbrella House. She takes multiple pills daily, including painkillers and arthritis medication— in addition to her regular cocktail of estrogen and progesterone. When we first met, she was recovering from the final stage of her sex-change surgery, the labioplasty. The first stage of surgery was the vaginoplasty, which involves the inversion of the penis to create a vagina. The labioplasty then created the labia minora, "that hood over the clitoris," Meow explains. "Before the clitoris was just exposed."
Meow speaks about her experience in a kind of evangelical way—as though she's educating one person at a time. She has been a regular on The Howard Stern Show since 1986. On October 10, she "lost her virginity" as a woman on the show, filmed in the act. She describes the stunt as a way to bring her sexuality into the public eye.
Meow believes she was always a woman, but the physical manifestation of this has brought with it new difficulties. "Straight guys can't handle the fact that I was a man. It's like being a burn victim. Are they really getting dates?" To Meow, her experience on Howard Stern was worth it for the sex, even though it only lasted a minute before, she says, the john "lost his erection."
"Women have it the best," she says. "Men don't know what they are missing because the feminine orgasm can happen in two places. If men only knew how good it was, they'd be lining up for surgery."
Meow welcomes me into her home after each of our two meetings, so I can socialize with her cat family and see the building's progress. According to UHAB, 21-23 Avenue C is the closest of the 11 homesteaded buildings to finishing renovations. Meow's apartment still maintains the stark quality of a place in transition—but the cats look right at home. There are multiple carpeted cat perches in the living room, cat paraphernalia (like a hanging rope Meow made to encourage play), and cat memorabilia (like a metal cat sculpture). There is minimal furniture for humans; a dresser and a bed that doubles as a place of cat repose crowd the bedroom. There is a television inside a cat cage ("Otherwise they'll pee on it") and feral and disorderly cats are separated from the bunch in cages or the second bedroom, where a painting by Dee Dee Ramone of The Ramones hangs, which Meow says was painted just for her.
Meow still doesn't have a functional kitchen and usually eats at Odessa on Avenue A. In the kitchen's place are multiple litter boxes and the hovering scent of ammonia. The building's tenants used to share a bathroom and communal shower, but now Meow has a functioning bathtub and toilet in a sectioned off area of her living room, awaiting a separating wall. After 18 years without it, she now has heating.
Meow, like her cats, has marked her territory. Despite differences of opinion with other tenants and with UHAB, she expects to remain in the niche she carved out for herself. "I just wanted a white picket fence and a lawn like everybody else," she says. "But this is what I got, and it's my home."

In 2012, I had the honor of being fully inducted into the BAX community as an artist-in-residence, so profiling the space feels like a bit of a homecoming.

Banksy's Valuable 'Crayon Soldier' Piece in Westwood Removed
Banksy has left town.
Pia Mia
Banksy has left the building and so has much of his art, seems like.
After his art was spotted on the back of a Westwood Urban Outfitters last month in the weeks ahead of the Academy Awards, where the Brit vied unsuccessfully for a best documentary Oscar, a Facebook page to protect the valuable work was formed.

The artwork had been vandalized, and some believed that it was an attempt to whitewash it.
Singer Pia Mia, who lives in the area, tipped us off and sent us the photo of the wall that was once home to "Crayon Soldier."
Urban Outfitters stated that it was all for saving the piece (a Banksy book was a top seller at the fashion chain), but that whether it stayed or went was ultimately up to the building's owner.

Inventing Marcel Duchamp
One of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) was a master of self-invention who carefully regulated the image he projected through self-portraiture and through his collaboration with those who portrayed him. During his long career, Duchamp recast accepted modes for assembling and describing identity, indelibly altering the terrain of portraiture. This groundbreaking book (which accompanies a major exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery) demonstrates the ways in which Duchamp willfully manipulated the techniques of portraiture both to secure his reputation as an iconoclast and to establish himself as a major figure in the art world. Although scholars have explored Duchamp's use of aliases, little attention has been paid to how this work played into, and against, existing portrait conventions. Nor has any study yet compared these explicitly self-constructed projects with the large body of portraits of Duchamp by others. Inventing Marcel Duchamp showcases approximately one hundred never-before-assembled portraits and self-portraits of Duchamp. The (broadly defined) self-portraits and self-representations include the famous autobiographical suitcase Boîte-en-Valise and Self-Portrait in Profile, a torn silhouette that became very influential for future generations of artists. The portraits by other artists include works by Duchamp's contemporaries Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, Francis Picabia, Beatrice Wood, and Florine Stettheimer as well as portraits by more recent generations of artists, including Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Sturtevant, Yasumasa Morimura, David Hammons, and Douglas Gordon. Since the mid-twentieth century, as abstraction assumed a position of dominance in fine art, portraiture has been often derided as an art form; the images and essays in Inventing Marcel Duchamp counter this, and invite us to rethink the role of portraiture in modern and contemporary art.

Just a touch of inspiration
I took down all the Christmas (including the snowflakes) and the house seems so bare. While it always looks cleaner after Christmas, I felt that the place needed a little pick me up and was inspired by one of my Christmas gifts...
My typewriter. My beautiful green, petite vintage Royal typewriter. How I love thee!
Now, I realize that green (specifically emerald) is the Pantone color of the year, but I jumped on the green bandwagon ages ago... seriously. I was 7, loved pink and pink and pink. I turned 8 and I loved green. Still do, even though I flirt with yellow and aqua as my bright choices.
So, I had the color matched as closely as possible with no specific purpose. I have been slowly but surely remaking my living room over the past several months. I had a coffee table that was unpainted > became an upholstered bench with painted legs > back to a coffee table painted black > and now looks like this >
This room needed to be lighter. Goldfish crumbs show up more on black. So, I painted it one of my pale greys and distressed it and all that jazz. But, I had this overwhelming wild hair to add something. Enter the Typewriter Green paint.
It adds a little something... but just a little. I could have cropped the kiddo out on the sofa as well, but that adds a little something too, don't you think?
Bye for now~

I LOVE green! Have for awhile actually. Just recently started noticing how much I really do have of it around. :) I love your table...cute accent idea! I have a question for you about your rug though. I love it and am wondering a) where you got it from and b) if you love it/would recommend it for a family with kids? I always love to know others' opinions before investing in bigger items such as these! Thanks for any input you can provide me. :)

Ans: 10,000 PINs are possible
Think about each digit of the PIN individually, how many numbers can there possibly be?
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 = 10 possibilities
Say the first digit is a 0, move on to the second digit, this digit can, again, have 10 possibilities.
So for each possibility of the first digit, there are another 10 possibilites for the second digit. This would correspond to: 10 x 10 in terms of math.
Then there would be another ten possibilities for the third digit of the PIN, and the same for the fourth digit of the PIN.
In total, you would have: 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000 possibilities.
This is true when you're trying to figure out the number of possibilites of anything else where repetition is allowed. If there are n number of possibilities for m spots (in this case 10 possibilities for 4 spots), then the answer would be possibilities.

In my situation, I use my light up-close about 80% of the time. And I carry only one light, so it has to be as versatile as possible. A hand-held flashlight won't work because its use is limited and I have to use one hand to hold it. A traditional jockstrap headlamp won't work because it is too bulky to carry in the pocket and its use is limited. I also want a small light and use one common AA battery. A ZL AA angle light meets all my requirements. I started with the H501. Used it for about 2 years but lost it recently. I bought the H51W in January this year. This is only light I need, EDC and use. It will be replaced by the H502W though, because a pure flood beam is best for close-up use.
For those who think ZL headlamps are like traditional jockstrap headlamps, please check out the "Zebralight Mods" thread and see the difference for yourself. They are not better or worst than other headlamps, just better for some tasks and not as good for other tasks.

Former Home Secretary convicted of failing to give information relating to the identification of a vehicle after saying he could not remember who was driving the car
Boris Johnson looked profoundly uncomfortable on this morning's Andrew Marr Show as stand-in host Eddie Mair grilled the Mayor of London on matters of personal integrity. Here's a transcript of one particularly bruising encounter:
As a young MP in 2005, David Cameron was so disenchanted by Lynton Crosby's concentration on immigration during that year's general election campaign that he kept the issue out of his constituency pamphlets.
When two year-old James Bulger was murdered in 1993, the nation united in grief and shock.
Barbara Roche and Gavin Barwell say both their parties are out of touch on immigration
David Cameron will deliver a powerful reminder when he arrives in Washington today that the days are long gone when the Conservative and Republican parties were viewed as transatlantic cousins.
Minimum sentences for murder are set to be abolished and thousands of people will escape prison altogether as part of the largest shake-up of the criminal justice system in decades.
David Cameron's judgment was called into question last night after a new Conservative peer was forced to apologise over remarks that benefit cuts would encourage "breeding" among the poor.
Although a hereditary peer, Richard Acton was one of the prime movers of Lords reform that in 1999 led to the end of the inherited right to vote in the Upper House.
The MoD is releasing details of reported possible alien sightings
30-page Legg report on abuse of allowances due to be published on Thursday
Lady Tumim, who died suddenly last Thursday, was a formidable public campaigner for changes in the management of charities and reform of the law respecting charities, but she was also an ebullient, vivacious and fun-loving person who enhanced and enriched the lives of her friends and family. Winifred's courage was her most obvious trait, but even when her movements were restricted because her husband, Sir Stephen Tumim, was discovered in 1990 to be on an IRA hit-list, she refused to behave with what she thought was undue solemnity. Life presented her with plenty of challenges to her sunny disposition, but despite her upright carriage and high-mindedness, she never lost her sense of humour or her sense of proportion.
Following in the footsteps of Tony Blair, two rather different House of Commons veterans are, we hear, to enter into the interfaith arena.
Tony Blair wanted to do it with John Major but John Major was too coy. William Hague, Michael Howard and Charles Kennedy all wanted to do it with Tony but he said no.

Hi Riya33, it could me something called anal fissures
, or hemorrhoids
this needs warms baths when you have pain, u must keep the anus very clean, and see your doctor
to get a good cream. YOU MUST drink water kiddo, its so important as the more constipated you are the harder you push the worse the fissures get. They are like a crack in your anus, keep it very clean, get a warm cloth before you go into the bathroom and clean your bottom after a movement
. It could be a hemorrhoid,
now these come out when you have to push to hard and they only get worse if your constipated. find something like a fruit that will loosen your stool, grapes work for me
. Do not eat processed food, especially because it backs you up.. Eat salads, lots of water, exercise, and sitzs baths, those are baths that u put your bottom in and it will help your anus heal.. Tell your mom, she will have had experience in these issues as many woman have this problem after having babies ok?? or see a doctor.. Don;t be afraid, but be proactive ok..
i am here if you need me ok wanda

Flash: Alpha Mask Effect
Happy New Years everyone! I am finally back after a long year of school work. Now let's kick off the new start of Learn2Flash with an easy image effect tutorial.
The Final Result:
Step 1) Open up a new Flash File (ActionScript 2.0) and click on - Modify - Document to adjust the Height:307 Width: 404.
Step 3) Go to Modify - Convert to Symbol (F8) and convert it into a MovieClip. Once that's done in the Instance Name field enter "pic" as shown below and also tick the box "Use runtime bitmap catching".
Step 4) Still on your picture layer, click on the 15th frame and press F5 or right-click, Insert Frame.
Step 5) Create a new layer above your picture and draw a small oval in the center (Stroke: None, Fill: Black). Select the oval and press F8 to make this a MovieClip Symbol.
Step 6) Select your oval and in the Instance Name field enter: mask_mc.(This is an important step as it will be used in our ActionScript).
Step 7) Go to Filter and add Blur to your oval at Blur X: 100, Blur Y: 100.
Step 8) In frame 15 of your oval, press F6 to Insert a Key Frame (Right Click, Insert Keyframe) and in the 15th frame use the Free Transform Tool (Q) to click and drag your oval to become bigger (but smaller than your actual picture).
Step 9) Right click in anywhere between the 1st and the 15th frame and click on Create Motion Tween.
Step 10) Create a new layer and this is where the AS code will be inserted. On the first frame press F9 to insert the AS code link .
Step 11) Go to the 15th frame and create a Keyframe (F6) and insert this code if you do not wish the Flash to replay.
Finished and Enjoy your holidays!

Hi Mark:
To be honest I really have no clue because this effect is only supported in earlier versions of Flash (actionscript 2). Maybe it is possible for you to find similar effects on the web that is compatible with AS3?
-Learn2Flash- -
April 23, 2009 at 5:26 AM -
I couldn't get it to work even in AS2 to be honest. Maybe it's just me, but I did everything the tutorial says and many times.
April 24, 2009 at 1:03 AM -
On my opinion, you dont need a keyframe in the 15th frame of the oval, just the tween and transform will do. For me it worked when I omitted that keyframe,
April 24, 2009 at 3:34 AM -
Hi Mark:
Glad it worked out fine for you. Feel free to make up your own creations of how to do the same effect, that's why we're here isn't it? To learn to flash :)

hopefully now that his beloved carjackers in shorts will be back walking, palming, dunking and brawling again on Christmas Day, Stephen A Stupid can devote himself full time to something other than the NFL
Right on A!!!
Wha? What a bizarre statement. No QB gets hurt....until they do. I can see rex and tanny talking about this. "Well rex since sanchez has not been hurt bad yet, we can assume he will never get hurt so lets no have any live body backup qb."
And I think you have just jinxed him by your comments. Watch him get carted off tommorrow.
Stephan A. knows nothing except for basketball. I remember back in 05 a guy got stabbed during the Sunday night game vs the Saints. His remark waw well the game was boring what else do you expect.
He also said one time that the jets going for a fg on 4th down was dumb. If they went for it on 3rd down and missed it they can try again. schmuck!!
wait didn't we have McElroy at the beginning of the season? Didn't the kid look good.
Not sure if he would have been considered viable but they tried to address the backup position.
It's not all on Sanchez to me its mostly on Shotty not coaching him and putting him in th right situations.
Both Stephen Smith and Skip Bayless said EXACTLY what I said about Sanchez all year long and most of this board finally sees what I see. The rest of you have to get your head out of your arse and stop pretending Mark Sanchez is a good QB. We will likely have to stick with him atleast another year being that we invested 3 years, $$$, and high draft pick that we traded up for... which means another lost year next year and no big game. Maybe a guy like J Blackman or T Richardson falls to us so the next guy we draft have some weapons.
I can't believe everyone is flaming Stephen Smith when Skip Bayless said the exact same thing except Smith was more animated when saying Sanchez sucks. I mean really... did he hurt your feelings or something?
They are saying what the rest of the country thinks of Sanchez. If he was playing for any team other than the Jets we all would be laughing at the team starting Sanchez. We all would be licking our chops if we played Sanchez. Since he's on our team and we drafted him #5 some how its everything else thats wrong with the team and sanchez can't do nothing wrong.
Stop being a bunch of delusional homers. We need an upgrade at QB either by draft or sign a veteran that has a serious chance of being the starter and not have Sanchez as the unquestionable starter. I'm tired of you homers saying "Start McEroy" or "This kid McEroy can be good" I know you homers love over rating players on the team but Geez... If McEroy was playing for another team would you say that he should be the starter for any NFL team? Would you trade for him if he played for another team for him to be our starter? What a JOKE...
Last edited by Rex Ryan; 11-27-2011 at 01:31 AM.
Wrong. I can't even use the word wrong because it's not strong enough for this nonsense. If Sanchez played anywhere else but in the NY metro area he'd be fine. Poor kid is stuck under a microscope where every single throw, gesture, word or piece of body language is dissected and debated for hours and hours. Josh Freeman or Matt Stafford couldn't survive here for two minutes like Sanchez has. You people need to get a grip, seriously.
I agree. Stephen A. Sh*t is a reverse racist. If you're black he will defend you to the end. Herm, Isiah Thomas (what a joke) etc.
Wilbon is another one. That guy sucked Donovan McNabb's balls for years non-stop calling him the best QB in the NFL over Manning and Brady.
Oh and he knows NOTHING about football and baseball. He only knows basketball and even his opinions about the NBA are sometimes garbage too.
Stephen A. Phag doesn't even really know that much about the NBA either. He was a huge Isiah Thomas defender the years he ran the Knicks into the ground calling even some of his most asinine moves good.
I remember when the Celtics lost Garnett in the playoffs a couple years ago he said they would still sweep the Bulls. What happened? 7 game series that the Bulls almost won. The guy does not have a clue.
Stephen A. Smith logic = I am loud, therefore I am right

Two Girls Kissing: Writing Lesbian Literary Erotica
Sometimes generating short stories ideas is difficult. Everyone experiences writers block. Ive heard students and seasoned writers complain that if they could just figure out what to write about or could just get started that they would be fine, but getting started was causing them to be blocked. Some times you just cannot focus on an idea or come up with a story start that speaks to you. New writers may feel pressure to select the "perfect" idea and fear that their choice will be "wrong". Established authors may feel that they have exhausted their supply of original ideas or that they simply keep retelling the same story with small changes. All of these things cause additional stress that with further interfere will the writers ability to come up with an idea for a story. Whether you are experiencing block or just interested in a few new writing exercises, here are some of the methods I use to generate ideas for my short lesbian erotica. Aha! Ideas Have you ever had one of those days or weeks were everything you encounter strikes you as potential material for a short story? Mundane events and items trigger a reaction in your mind and you are over come by ideas for stories or characters. These are Aha! Ideas: story and character ideas that seem to come to you rapidly and from no where. If your muse is speaking to you at warp speed, it is usually impossible to address all of the ideas that bombard you. I record these ideas in full detail in my writers notebook for use later when my muse is on vacation and I cannot seem to generate a single good idea. If you do not keep a writers notebook, then you should start. A writers notebook is a notebook of your choosing that you keep with you at all times and dedicate exclusively to ideas for your writing. I use a small assignment book that fits into my purse. Whatever your preference in notebooks is, select one that prevents you from ripping out pages. Make a pact with yourself to use the notebook only for writing ideas. Avoid putting to-do or shopping lists, phone numbers and notes to your self or doing any actual writing in the notebook. Essentially the notebook contains your notes on potential story ideas or brief character sketches. You can record story ideas, character sketches, dialogue you over heard, and tape clippings or pictures that inspired an idea for a story or character. You can record brief sentences, actual scenes, or detailed plots. It is up to you. For example, a photo from a magazine may inspire a story idea. Rip it out and paste it into your notebook. Be sure to include as many details about your idea as possible. This can be done informally in fragments and with bullet points using key words instead of your best prose. But be sure to include enough detail to remind your self in three or four months of the original idea. The notebook serves as a holding place until you have time to actually use the ideas. This is of great value when your muse isnt talking to you. Mining Your Life and Your Fantasies for Material Use actual sexual encounters as a starting point for your erotic story. Change characters and/or details, unless you are writing memoir. Feel free to enhance your encounter. Make the sex hotter or more elaborate, create conflict where none existed, enhance your self and your partner(s). Turn real life into fiction. Not all real life makes for good literature; however, using an actual encounter as the seed for a fictional story can bring new inspiration. Likewise, use your fantasies. Have you always wanted to have sex in the locker room of your gym, but are too timid to actually do it? Are you curious about bondage, a three way, or a group sex parties, but dont want to or havent had the chance to actually try it? Write about it in a story. All of your sexual fantasies are potential erotic short stories. Searching the Calls In addition to letting you know what kinds of stories editors are looking for; calls can serve as inspiration for stories. Some calls are more helpful then others to generate story ideas. For example, all of the calls for "The Best" of anthologies are vague and not really helpful for generating story ideas. The editors are looking for the Best of lesbian erotica with no strict themes in mind. Other calls are looking for specific stories that you may not have thought about writing until you read the call. Themed anthologies, such as cowgirls, bikers, NYC stories, athletic/sports dykes, prison, pirates, or Drag Kings, etc , may serve to spark a story idea or an Aha! moment for you. Some editors go so far as to list even more detailed specifics about what they are looking for in a story. Likewise, check calls for other types of erotica. There maybe a call for a themed gaymale or straight erotic anthology that will spark a story idea for a lesbian erotic story. Couples Sex Books Sex-Aid and How-To Books are a great resource for both learning about sexual acts that you arent familiar with and for finding inspiration for a story idea. Reading about different sex acts can inspire you to write a story centered on that sex act. Likewise, books like 101 Nights of Grrreat Romance, where the pages are sealed and need to be torn open to reveal a predetermined sexual scenario, can be great fun and a source of strong inspiration. A few of my favorite reference books are listed in the Resource Section. Page through them until something inspires you or select a topic and read about it for inspiration. Slips of Paper Method The Slips of Paper Method is one of my favorite writing exercises. Use the Slips of Paper Method to generate just about anything from characters to places to story ideas to conflicts by changing what you list on the slips. Essentially you will have three piles of slips and select one from each pile to generate whatever it is you are looking for. To get started, cut about 40 2x2 inch slips of paper and separate them into three piles. It is best to have at least ten slips in each pile, but feel free to have more and to reuse them. To generate a character: list 3 physical traits on each slip of paper in pile A; 3 personality strengths on each slip in pile B; and 3 personality weaknesses on each slip in pile C. For example: Character A: A: blonde, 510, c-cup; B: driven, focused, loyal; C: self-centered, compulsive, fear of failure. Character B: A: short red hair, muscular, 55; B: committed, determined, honest ; C: closed minded, sneaky, stubborn. To generate an erotic short story: list one to two conflicts on each slip of paper in pile A; list a location on each slip of paper in pile B; and list two sex acts on each slip of paper in pile C. Select one slip from each pile and use them with the characters you have generated to write a story. For example: A: Character A is dating character Bs best friend; B: at a ski resort in a hot tub; C: oral and bondage. Use these with the two characters above to write a story. Be creative with what you list on the slips and daring with the combinations you make. Personal Ads Personal ads are one of the best free tools for inspiration for story ideas. In addition to character traits, many of the ads contain ideas for locations and activities, and, when put together with another randomly selected ad, they often include built in conflict. Cut out 20 or 30 women-seeking-women ads and put them into an envelope. Keep the envelope near your writing area for use when needed. Randomly select two ads from the envelope and read them. The ads will provide basic character information that you can build on and often activities and settings can be drawn out of the descriptions. Whats not written in the ads is as important as what is. Contemplate the ads and consider what you know about psychology and human nature. Then, ask yourself: What is the person who wrote this ad like physically? Emotionally? What is she looking for in a partner? Are there hints of potential areas of conflict, locations for scenes, activities you might write about? Now write a story about the two people in the ads as a couple or having a sexual encounter. One Element Method I normally write character driven fiction, so strong, fully developed characters are critical to starting my writing process. I often find that if I know who I am writing about the other elements of the story (plot, conflict, location ) reveal themselves to me as I write. I usually start with detailed character sketches and let the characters reveal their story to me. The same can be true in reverse. By establishing one element of the story (the conflict, location, sex act ) the other elements will reveal themselves to you as you write. Experiment by establishing different elements and writing about them to generate story ideas. Exercises 2. Personal Ad Exercise: Randomly select two personal ads and construct characters based on the information in the ads. Write a story about the two characters using information from the ads for setting and potential conflicts. 3. The Book Method: Select a sexual activity you havent written about and read the entry in the resource book of your choice. Write a story centered on that activity. 4. Elements Exercise: Pick one element and start to write about that element. Experiment with different elements as starting points. 5. Combine any two of the above methods to generate stories. For example, 1 & 3 or 2 & 3. Resources by Dr. Dawn Harper

If a sum invested gains $10\%$ each year how long will it be before it has doubled its value?
If an object depreciates in value by $10\%$ each year how long will it take until only half of the original value remains?
Why aren't these two answers the same?
Is there a rate, used for both gain and depreciation, for which those two answers would actually be the same?
