Potholes and Junk Yards; Now a Stadium?
Willets Point, Queens —
Whether they want parkland or shopping or a new stadium, for the past seventy-five years, city planners have always had other plans for Willets Point, Queens. The latest, announced Sunday night by Mayor Bloomberg, calls for a retail center to be built adjacent to a new Shea Stadium and possibly used as the International broadcast center during the 2012 Olympics. Once again, the area's businesses are wondering "why us."
REPORTER: City officials call it wasted space. Car owners see it as a cheap place to fix their cars. Brave Mets fans see it as a place to park for free. The area is known either by the bucolic name of Willets Point or pejoratively as the Iron Triangle. In any event, the area saw something unusual this week: sanitation trucks.
Just two days after the Mayor announced plans for a new Shea Stadium and a revised Olympic bid, a crew of trucks moved in. They are hauling away the scrap metal, tires, old appliances, and other junk that is piled up outside the dozens of auto repair shops and junkyards.
One driver said the Mayor would be visiting the area soon, and they were to start cleaning up. It's going to be a tough job.
Just driving down the street is tough. Once you turn off 126th street and head East from Shea Stadium, it's as if you've entered an entirely different city. UPS and Fed-ex trucks lumber along as touts try to wave business into their body shops. The speed limit is an unofficial five miles an hour. Go any faster and your car is in for serious damage from the crater sized potholes.
SAMBUCCI JR: You take any corner in Manhattan and don't give it services for a month. Can you imagine what it would look like? Picture that for 20 years.
REPORTER: Sammy Sambucci would know. His family has run an auto salvage yard on 36th avenue for 54 years. On this hot day, Sammy's father Danny Sambucci Senior was dressed more for Palm Beach than Eastern Queens. Sporting a dark tan and wearing shorts, sandals, a black tank top, gold chain, and large black rimmed glasses. He showed off the neatly stacked parts he and his guys pull from the cars brought in.
SAMBUCCI SENIOR: Transmissions, see all the parts are in here; everything is marked. You know what we had to do here? Forget it. If I had to do it over I'd never do it. Too much time. Too much work. Aggravation, sick, the city's coming they're not coming. We, we're the last ones to get the message they're coming. Hell, I don't know what to tell you.
REPORTER: Sambucci says the decades of uncertainty over whether the city was coming to close them down has lowered the property values and made it next to impossible to get a bank loan.
Sammy Senior says he was rooting for the West Side Stadium.
SAMBUCCI SR: We were all for the city because figuring now they'll leave us alone for the next ten years, but when they dropped that I said to my son and them, they're coming after us they're going to go here and sure enough that's what they planned.
REPORTER: The reason they keep coming back is the area's strategic location. Architect Charles Loeser was hired by the Queens Chamber of Commerce to devise a plan to transform the Iron Triangle. .
LOESER: We see this as an area that can connect flushing to corona, the bay to to the __ … it's the heart of Queens
REPORTER: Loeser's plan for retail and convention space was presented to the City Economic Development Corporation in April. The EDC had been seeking proposals since November of last year, but now will work with the Mayor and Mets to make the surprise stadium plan a reality.
Mayor Bloomberg is just the latest in a long line of city planners who have tried to turn the area around. None other than Robert Moses tried THREE TIMES, but he never fully succeeded. In a 1964 interview, he described the ash mounds that grew on the site before the Grand Central Parkway was built.
MOSES: I think the average height was forty feet and they ran up to sixty feet. Ashes, and fires that burned all the time. Rats that Jack Madigan said were big enough to have saddles on them. They were large. And then miraculously the idea came of having a fair.
REPORTER: Moses had his fair in 1939 and the ash dumps were no more. When he planned a second World's Fair for 1964; he tried again to beautify the area, this time by getting rid of the stacks of flattened cars that now rose from the site. But, Moses ran into a young Italian lawyer representing the junkyards in court-Mario Cuomo. Cuomo handed Moses his biggest - and some say only - defeat. The former Governor says Moses was pursuing an aesthetic vision. Whereas he was defending the little guys….
CUOMO: Losing the site for them would have been devastating because they had nowhere else to go with their business. I had the advantage of what I thought was a reasonable proposition.
REPORTER: Cuomo's clients offered to reduce the size of the car piles and to change their delivery times so they wouldn't get in the way of the fair. But he says Moses was totally unwilling to compromise.
Asked if he would offer any advice for the Mayor as he embarks on what could be a very similar fight, Cuomo deferred, and simply recommended "common sense."
In the scramble to salvage the Olympic bid-- Mayor Bloomberg made it clear on Monday that Willet's Point is in for a change.
BLOOMBERG: We just can't afford to have a piece of property that size that just has junkyards and they'll have to go elsewheres. EDC has…
REPORTER: Back on 35th avenue, Walter Ochoa sat outside the auto glass repair shop where he's worked for eight years.. Across the street from a large puddle and a pile of junk.
Like everyone else in Willets Point WNYC spoke to he says he's heard nothing from the city about its plan to replace their businesses with retail. He questioned why the city is pushing them away.
OCHOA (IN SPANISH w/ TRANSLATION): They are just talking about the bad parts of the junkyard, the worst of what this place has but they never talk to the people to each client that comes to resolve their problems here. We are not harming anybody we are working and helping people… they should come and ask the opinion of people with broken windshields, cars that won't start, and they leave with their problem fixed.
REPORTER: But down the dusty, pocked street, a body shop worker named Michael said he would welcome being relocated. The Afghan native says it would be nice to work in a place that's cleaner and where people feel safe leaving the car.
MICHAEL: We are working hard here and when a customer comes he know trust to leave the car. He's scared. He says 'oh I want to stay with my car and when you finish I want to take the car.
REPORTER: But, it's a lot easier for the auto repair shops to relocate than for the junkyards. They'll need M3 zoning - something which is very hard to come by. A lawyer who says he represents more than 50 percent of the area's business says this time around he thinks the city will get what it wants. The Willets Point businesses are organizing now, but he says they don't have the political clout they once had.
For WNYC, I'm Dan Blumberg.

The UFO Entities
While there have been a plethora of descriptions of extraterrestrial visitors debarking from UFOs over the years, a lot of them have done so without apparatuses needed to breathe Earth's air.
Abductees (experiencers), especially, indicate the "beings" taking them hostage are without extra gear, au natural apparently.
The creatures seem acclimated to the Earth's atmosphere.
This either indicates that the "aliens" come from places with the same chemical make-up as Earth, or are from Earth itself (as the Tonnie's hypothesis says), or the recounted visitations are hallucinations or bogus.
UFOs are real, of course, many stemming from misinterpreted military craft right here on Earth.
Some are psychologically or physiologically induced.
Some may even be craft from Outer or Inner Space.
But the UFO beings are another thing altogether. Seen coming out of UFOs, or sneaking into bedrooms and cars to kidnap human beings, those entities often do so with no adverse affects, during their sojourns of afterward, as H. G. Wells stipulated in War of the Worlds, where the intruders' immune systems were not prepared for Earth's germs.
(If alien visitors were affected, or had been, by Earths' microbes, they wouldn't keep showing up in the numbers reported.)
And wouldn't some alien force from other planets (or dimensions) bring with them some kind of illness or disease foreign to Earth's inhabitants? Maybe they have. (AIDS?)
UFO investigators haven't done much with what we've present here, but they haven't done much with anything ufological, since the UFO mystery goes on unabated, and seems destined to do so for a while, maybe never to be resolved.
Meanwhile, we'll see if anyone can capture a UFO visitor, physically or by camera. But we're not holding our collective breaths.

European settlers had hardly stepped on the soil of the New World before they began planting cherry trees. Early French colonists from Normandy brought pits that they planted along the Saint Lawrence River and on down into the Great Lakes area. Cherry trees were part of the garden of French settlers as they established such cities as Detroit, Vincennes, and other Midwestern settlements.
But, Peter Dougherty, a Presbyterian missionary, is credited with planting the first cherry orchard and, in essence, getting the cherry industry started as a commercial enterprise in the Grand Traverse Region. Against the advice of an Indian farmer who had grown other fruits in the area, Dougherty planted a cherry orchard in 1852 on the Old Mission Peninsula, which is a narrow strip of land that juts out into Grand Traverse Bay just north of Traverse City. Much to the surprise of the Indians and others, Dougherty's cherry trees flourished and soon other residents of the area planted trees. The area proved to be ideal for growing cherries because Lake Michigan helps to temper Arctic winds in winter and cool the orchards in summer.
The first commercial cherry orchard was planted in 1893 on Ridgewood Farm near the site of Dougherty's original plantings. By the early 1900s, the tart cherry industry was firmly established and production surpassed other major crops. The first cherry processing facility, Traverse City Canning Company, was built just south of Traverse City, and the ruby red fruit was soon shipped to Chicago, Detroit and Milwaukee.
Today, there are more than two million cherry trees in the Grand Traverse Region, and Traverse City, in the heart of the region, has been dubbed the "Cherry Capital of the World." The Grand Traverse Region annually produces about 40 percent of the tart cherries grown in the United States. Michigan leads the nation in the production of tart cherries, harvesting about three-fourths of the U.S. crop. Commercial orchards dot the state along Lake Michigan from Benton Harbor to the Elk Rapids area.
In celebration of the fruit that grows so well in the Grand Traverse Region, a spring ceremony known as the "Blessing of the Blossoms" was initiated in 1924. This event eventually became the National Cherry Festival, which is held in Traverse City each year in July and attracts visitors from all over the world to this land of rolling hills, sky blue waters, and cherries.
Bananas and macadamia nuts accented with cherries bring home a tropical taste.
Drain maraschino cherries, reserving 2 tablespoons juice. Cut cherries in quarters; set aside.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine butter, 2/3 cup brown sugar, eggs and reserved cherry juice; mix on medium speed of electric mixer until ingredients are thoroughly combined. Add flour mixture and mashed bananas alternately, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in cherries and nuts. Lightly spray a 9 x 5 x 3-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread batter evenly in pan.
Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven 1 hour, or until golden brown and wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean.

As we've previously mentioned, Ubuntu doesn't come with a built-in clipboard manager (although KDE does, and enables it by default as well). This is easily rectified by installing one of a number of clipboard managers, such as ClipIt or Pastie. Both those programs place an icon in the GNOME Panel, and let you access your clipboard history by way of a handy menu. Here's the ClipIt menu, for example.
One of the new features introduced with recent versions of Ubuntu is the Dash, which allows users to search for and launch applications, as well as offering developers another interface for their programs. One of those programs is Diodon, a clipboard manager that not only offers the typical menu-driven interface, but a Unity Lens as well.
To install Diodon, we'll need to add the daily PPA (personal package archive), which – while offering a potentially unstable version of Diodon – offers the newest features and bux fixes. First, we'll open the Terminal.
Now type sudo apt-add-repository ppa:diodon-team/daily to add the PPA.
Now type sudo apt-get update to update your system's software lists to include the software in the Diodon PPA.
Finally, type sudo apt-get install diodon diodon-plugins to add Diodon and its plugins package.
Once installed, you'll need to launch Diodon.
From now on, Diodon will be started up automatically when you boot into your system, as it's been added to your Startup Applications list. As with most clipboard managers, you can choose to access Diodon through a panel menu.
What's nice about Diodon is its keyboard hotkey. By default, clicking Ctrl-Alt-V will bring up its menu. So, If you're in a word processing program and want to access your clipboard history in order to paste in a snippet, simply hit the hotkey and the menu will appear, under the mouse cursor, for easy access.
Another nice feature is how Diodon doesn't simply replace the current contents of the clipboard with the snippet you choose from the panel menu, but actually pastes it. If you happen to have a word processing document or other text entry field as your active application, you'll find that choosing a snippet from the menu (either the panel menu or the hotkey menu), as well as the Unity Lens, causes that snippet to automatically be pasted into your document. It's a pretty handy feature.
Diodon also handles images in your clipboard. So if you create a screenshot, you can use the Copy To Clipboard option to add the screenshot to the clipboard, instead of saving it to disk. That screenshot is now available and can be pasted into a document simply by selecting it from the menu or Unity Lens. You'll be able to tell image screenshots by the dimensions given. Below you'll see an entry named 1366×768 (it's highlighted); if this is selected, you'll paste the actual image.
Where Diodon differs from other clipboard managers, however, is its option to act as a Unity Lens. If you've selected this option (you can choose to use Diodon as a panel applet, Unity Lens or both), when you open up Unity you'll see a new clipboard icon at the bottom. Click this to use the clipboard in this environment, clicking "tiles" instead of lines of text to paste them into a document.
The lens also supports images, even providing a (very small) preview of the image in the clipboard.
Overall, Diodon is a very nice option for people wanting a more robust clipboard manager than Ubuntu has by default (none!), and for Unity lovers, something tightly integrated with that environment. The PPA used in this article is a daily build PPA, so radical changes – as well as regressions – can happen, but it seems a solid application already, and something that is definitely worth checking out. Just be aware of potential problems that could arise from using an application from a PPA that isn't offering a stable release.

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Chris Hayes published a written apology last weekend for saying that he was "uncomfortable" calling fallen military members "heroes."
In his first Up with Chris Hayes program since the incident, the host opened the show explaining that he "fell short at a crucial moment" when he made that remark, but he never actually apologized for doing so (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
CHRIS HAYES: I cringed when I saw the headline used to describe comments I made on this show last Sunday. "MSNBC's Chris Hayes Feels 'Uncomfortable' Calling Fallen Soldiers Heros."
After playing his controversial remarks, and discussing some of the email messages he received in response, Hayes continued
HAYES: And reading those messages, I had to agree. Who was I to say who is and isn't a hero? It hardly seems a designation that is mine to deny or even to confer, which is in a very clumsy way what I was trying to say, or at least what I wanted to discuss - not what makes a hero, or who is a hero, but rather this: we have a society that on the one hand has become comfortable with war, and on the other hand wants to distance itself from it as much as possible. To outsource it to contractors, to robots, and to the 2.3 million volunteer men and women who have been asked to serve for longer durations than at any time in history.
Our political culture sometimes engineered entirely to make us hate each other. What we're trying to do here on this show, and obviously we don't always succeed, is to talk about sometimes quite sensitive topics in good faith, to explore ideas and perspectives that don't always get a hearing, and to think through the news with understanding and empathy - to wrestle with our shared public life grounded in real experiences. We tried to do that last week. But I fell short in a crucial moment.
Notice the words "I'm sorry," "I apologize," and "I regret" are conspicuously absent from this so-called apology?
In fairness, other than the opening twelve minute segment, I did not watch the entire two hour show. It is therefore possible Hayes apologized later in the program.
However, an examination of the closed-caption transcript did not identify such.
Which makes you wonder just how sorry Hayes is for what he said.

Jake Owen Shares Details on Go-Cart Accident
Jake Owen severely injured his hand in a go-cart accident a few weeks ago. He flipped his go-cart going 40 miles per hour on a North Carolina track with a few NASCAR drivers.
Owen had surgery on his hand and has still been able to perform, but he can't play guitar on stage. But, that is hardly his biggest concern.
"I can't even hold Pearl right now," Owen tells CMT.com, "That's the worst part about it."
Jake has 40 stiches in his hand. His fingers were shattered. He still is in pain. But, he played a show in Boston one week later. On that show he says, "I'm not about to bail on Boston, a city where people just lost arms and legs and from this coward [expletive] bomber...Some of those people will never walk again because of something that wasn't even their fault. Mine was self-inflicted. So I'm an idiot. It's my fault."
The doctors don't know Owen's prognosis. It will take another two months for his hand to heal. Owen might not be able to bend his fingers properly ever again, which could mean the end of his guitar playing days. But, Owen says, "I just want to hold Pearl."

CFO Alert: Global Litigation Risks Rise Sharply for Directors and Officers
Date: Tue, Oct 01, 2013
Time: 12:00 P.M. ET
Duration: 1 hour
Cost: FREE
While serving as a board member or executive of a company carries with it great standing, it also invites growing liability for wrongful acts related to business insolvencies, employment decisions, infringement of intellectual property, and botched mergers and acquisitions. New laws and regulations around the world now increase the threat of such litigation for both board directors and company officers. For instance, a number of European countries have implemented changes in their legal systems that make it easier for aggrieved shareholders to collectively bring actions against directors and officers.
If sued in a civil case or by a foreign government agency for alleged wrongful acts, directors and officers can be incarcerated and forced to pay settlements to the full extent of their net personal wealth. The legal defense costs, in addition to the settlement or judgment-related expenses, are borne by these individuals financially.
Domestically, the situation is equally egregious. A recent report by Cornerstone Research and Stanford Law School indicates that almost every acquisition of a large U.S. public company culminates in a lawsuit against the directors and officers.
These growing liabilities are creating anxiety among directors and officers. According to a recent survey, 71 percent of public companies and 50 percent of private companies have significant concerns over the scope of their D&O insurance coverage, while 80 percent of directors and officers have inquired about the financial limits of protection afforded them by the D&O policy.
These concerns are understandable: Few insurance policies are as nuanced as D&O insurance, given its complex Side A, Side B and Side C coverage considerations. A key consideration for directors and officers is to make sure their organizations purchase Side A coverage. The coverage addresses their exposure to financial loss when the corporate organization cannot provide indemnification for various reasons, such as its financial inability to pay the costs, the indemnification is prohibited by law or the company has exhausted the financial limits of the D&O policy. In any of these instances, individual directors and officers remain on the hook for legal defense and other financial expenses.
During this Webcast, attendees will learn about:
- The changing legal landscape abroad with respect to D&O exposure;
- The rise in civil litigation;
- The rise in regulatory investigations and lawsuits;
- Changes in international legislation with respect to corporate liability; and
- The availability of indemnification to address international exposure.
Attendees will also learn about options for D&O insurance, including:
- Side A coverage -- what it is and how it works;
- Key benefits of Side A insurance; and
- How to address international tax rules and policy admittance requirements for D&O insurance.
The panelists for this Webcast are:
- Paul Schiavone, Global CUO for Specialty Lines, Zurich
- Nilam Sharma, Partner, Global Head of Insurance Liability, INCE & Co.
- Lee Lindsay, Esq., Managing Director, Aon Financial Services Group, a Division of Aon Risk Insurance Services West, Inc.
- Moderator: Russ Banham, Senior Writer, CFO magazine

Southwest Smackdown
Arguing for Pho-Sco: Craig Outhier (reviews restaurants for the Arizona Republic and covers dining and lifestyle news for Phoenix magazine). We concede that the best Mexican restaurant in Arizona might be Tucson's Cafe Poca Cosa, but our concessions end there. By every other important standard—fine dining, ethnic eats, chef-owned gastropubs, omakase masterminds—the Phoenix-Scottsdale metro tag team beats the stuffing out of rinky-dink Tucson. You can find a decent street taco in Tucson. You might even hunt down a hip New American grill where the chef dreams up some credible culinary use for the cholla buds he picked behind his condo. But here's the sad truth: You'll exhaust Tucson's reservoir of interesting restaurants in about a month. Not so in Pho-Sco, where a critical mass of award-winning culinary talent powers the region's best food scene.
Arguing for Tucson: Edie Jarolim (Tucson editor for Zagat and contributing dining editor for Tucson Guide). David to Goliath: We're coming for you. Go ahead and let our sleepy cow-town image fool you, but while you've spent your boom years grilling steaks for planeloads of sun-burned golfers, Tucson has been slow-cooking its way into culinary respectability. A new generation of energetic young chefs can whip up perfect steak frites from grass-fed local beef and purple Peruvian spuds, mix a mean ginger-infused margarita, and finish with a bracing tart-and-sweet prickly pear sorbet. Add expansive, smog-free Sonoran Desert vistas, and we've got you L.A. wannabes to the north hog-tied. Bring it.

"We walked in and the room was beautiful. The food was good and I was glad we took a few of the extras. We had booked our reception at another location that had closed and Mike honored our contract from the other place. Everything was wonderful!"
Tammy and Joshua's Wedding
"Mike Lucarelli LIVES to please his clients. His staff went well above and beyond to ensure that our event was set up to our specifications. The food was delicious, and we received many compliments from our guests. The only draw back here is that there was no elevator for our upstairs room, which means we had to change our original plan of hiring a live band to hiring a DJ. The band we wanted had no way to get their equipment upstairs, so they had to decline accepting our gig."
Lauren and Noah's Wedding
"The food was delicious and we didn't have to worry about anything - it was definitely the most pricey part of the wedding at about $45 per person, but the bar was top notch and everyone talked all night about how good the food was - and that's the most important thing."

I just received my 15th 1911 the other day, it's Nighthawk Custom which was a started by former Wilson personnel. They should be on your list as well.
Having had four Kimbers, four Paras, two Colts, one Springfield, one Les Baer, one Wilson, one Llama (We're not going to talk about the Llama ever again) one Ithaca USGI, and now one Nighthawk, I can tell you that of your two choices, if the money is not an issue go with Wilson. The level of craftsmanship, parts quality, finish, magazines, you name it is better from Wilson.
I will not go into my own past issues with Kimbers (both with pre-series IIs and Series IIs), I've don that till I'm blue in the face, I'm not going to talk about their issues with rust prone barrels, I'll let Hilton Yam and 10-8 do my talking from now on.

ed davenport
Growing up with 90s house and UK dance culture, and heavily inspired by its infectious sound and attitude, Ed Davenport set off on an honest and dedicated journey into music.
Experimenting with recording in his teens slowly led to a deeper knowledge of production, and after a time his first ever record was released on Gumption Recordings in 2006, at the age of 20.
During his time living and studying in London further releases followed on Liebe*Detail, the Hamburg based eclectic house label, including the acclaimed cut 'Eyespeak', and Ed presented a darker sound on UK label Leftroom with two 12'' EPs under his Szenario Alias.
Performing regularly in the busy underground club scene of the UK capitol, with international bookings becoming more and more common, Ed really found his feet there as a DJ. Known for blending a heady mixture of raw house, Techno and dubbed out vibes, he appeared at London buzz-clubs like Lo Kee and Retox before his re-location to Berlin in the summer of '08. There the next wave of productions began to flow, with the first release of 2009 being the deep techno excursion of the 'Studio 395 EP' on UK platform Autoreply.
Since Then a busy studio schedule bore a string of releases on Berlin based labels Vidab and District of Corruption, remixes on Cocoon, bedrock, and Konsequenz and Ed's debut release on the long-established Poker Flat label. Ed's performances in his new home town have taken him from extended sessions at Watergate to special summer sets at bar 25, to playing Live at Panoramabar, amongst many others..!

Calvin Klein straddles that all-important line of fashion. On the one side, respect and quality. On the other side? Working with us. It's sort of like in an '80s movie when the cool kid sneaks the dweeb into a party. You can probably guess which one we are. Thanks for the help, CK.

Here we are, nearing the end of our first ever WIZARD tour... blimey blimey blimey...
Our week in Manchester was just phenominal. Thank you all the wonderful folk in Manchester who came to support us! Director Martin 'Visceral' Stannage, Producer Chris Jones, Techie Benny jo Zahl, actor Ben Jewell and me all feel so passionately about what this show is about. As much as we enjoy the jokes and humour of the piece, the core themes of friendship and destigmatising struggles with mental health are things all our team have very strong feelings on. We're all hugely proud of this show and to get not only such a huge turn out in our hometown but such fantastic responses means the world to us. Magic!!
Contact were, as always, a joy to work with so a big thank you from all of us for supporting this show from the roots up and getting to a point where we are now on tour!
Our first port of call has actually been guesting at a pre-existing poetry night- Write Angle in Petersfield. Coming to an established, regular event was a marketing dream (full capacity gig!!) and the crowd were so appreciative of our stuff. The organisers, Jake and Leah, have already booked me for a follow-up set April 2013! Zoop zoop!
A review of Wizard at Write Angle can be seen here http://www.lifemags.co.uk/news/Dominic-Berry-provides-a-new-slant-to-Write-Angle/1224/
London's Cockpit was our next tour venue and our first where we were not being part of a pre-existing event. We were all thrilled at the chance to perform in a central London venue and the Cockpit staff could not have made us feel more welcomed, Artistic Director Dave Wybrow and his gang were so enthusiastic about our project so it was disappointing we did not get the full capacity turn out we'd enjoyed at other spaces. That said, our two nights in London were amazing as the audiences we got truly engaged with Wizard, the conversations held after the show were deep and empassioned and went on well intot he night! The Cockpit are having a festival of works exploring mental health later this year and we have been invited back to be part of that. Hopefully news of how well Wizard was received will spread and I am optimistic we'll get good numbers on our return trip.
Two reviews of Wizard in London can be seen here:

by Write Out Loud's Greg Freeman http://www.writeoutloud.net/public/blogentry.php?blogentryid=29217
Our most recent stop off was The ACE Centre in Nelson where we not only performed Wizard but, supported by Arts on Prescription, I co-ordinated a workshop on creative writing and confidence in performance. This was with a group of fantastic attendees, many of whom where incredibly brave and honest in bringing their own deeply honest life stories to the group. Every single person wrote and read some great new poetry, I was so proud to be part of such a strong and sparky group, and it was a joy to be invited back to produce further work at The ACE Centre. For all our seriousness, we all had such a laugh too, it was great! The show went down a storm and a very happy but tired crew got back on the bus to return home to Manchester.
One tour date remains, Oxford University this coming Thursday night!! Due to many changes in Wizard's existence this will actually be a solo performance of the piece, a challenge I am particularly excited about meeting (though i will miss Ben Jewell's warmth and wit like mad!)
If you can get to the Corpus Christi Campus this Thursday for 7.30 please do, tickets are £7/5 and available at the door.
There is a facebook event for the Oxford University show here http://www.facebook.com/events/234537823314768/
So, despite ups and downs in audience sizes, we are made up with how well everything has gone. I want to say a big heartfelt thankyou to all my Wizard team and every person who has helped us on any step of our way. Love and light to you all!
Come see Wizard in Oxford!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessed be,

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ firms before Fed, Bank of Canada chiefs speak
* C$ at C$1.0366 vs US$, or 96.47 U.S. cents * Manufacturing data shows moderate growth * Fed, Bank of Canada rate decision, outlook in focus By Alastair Sharp TORONTO, July 16 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar gained against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday, as traders scaled back bets on greenback strength and loonie weakness a day ahead of pivotal central banker appearances in both the United States and Canada. The comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in particular are likely to reverberate, with heightened uncertainty making sharp cent-plus moves a distinct possibility. "The market is wound up and confused by Fed rhetoric. Hopefully there's some clarity, but if there is, traders are going to jump on it," said Adam Button, currency analyst at ForexLive in Montreal. Fed officials have sought to sound less hawkish since Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's mid-June statement that the bank could scale back its stimulus efforts roiled global markets. Traders in the Canadian currency will also be looking to the first interest-rate decision by new Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz on Wednesday, which coincides with a quarterly Monetary Policy Report outlining the central bank's view of the economy. Economists polled by Reuters expect the central bank to leave its benchmark rate unchanged at 1 percent and repeat its warning that the next move in rates will be an increase. But with slow growth and low inflation, a rate increase is not expected until the fourth quarter of 2014. The Canadian dollar has recently come under pressure from a rising U.S. dollar valuation and bets that the Canadian currency had further to fall, although that move stalled last week. "Given the tremendous uncertainty tomorrow, with a new Bank of Canada governor, we're seeing those bets being scaled back or exited in rapid fashion today," Button said. "It's a massive case of cold feet." Greg Moore, a currency strategist at TD Securities in Toronto, said there is a risk that the central bank will send a more neutral message, which could prompt further Canadian dollar weakness. Domestic data released on Tuesday had little impact. Canadian factory sales in May rose 0.7 percent from April, making up some of the ground lost during a plunge that month. The "numbers were close enough to consensus; it didn't give a strong signal in either direction," Moore said. The Canadian dollar ended the session trading at C$1.0366 to the greenback, or 96.47 U.S. cents, compared with C$1.0415, or 96.02 U.S. cents, at Monday's North American close. At one point, it traded as low as C$1.0442 to the U.S. dollar, or 95.77 U.S. cents, its weakest level since July 11. The loonie, as Canada's currency is colloquially known, fell sharply against its commodity-linked cousin, the Australian dollar, after minutes from that country's last central bank meeting provided a less dovish message than investors were expecting. The price of Canadian government debt was higher across the curve, with the two-year bond up 2 Canadian cents to yield 1.122 percent, while the benchmark 10-year bond rose 10 Canadian cents to yield 2.404 percent.

3100 pound 1929 A sedan, serves as a grocery getter when needed, and runs a best of 10.93 at 120.43 in the quarter mile. Rear gears 3:54. Trans B & M TH 350. Convertor A-1 4,000 stall. Engine SBC 355 w 6 inch rods, 7:5:1 static compression with Ross forged pistons and Dart 220 heads, an RV grind hydraulic roller, Weiand 250 SBC blower (swept volume same as a GMC 4:71), and twin Holley 600 cfm boost referenced carbs. The Weiand blower is basically a 2:53 in configuration, having only two lobes, but its' swept volume roughly equals the GMC 4:71. On the street, I run 29-1/2 inch tall generic radials. On the strip, I run 30 inch tall Goodyear drag radials. I tried street/strip BFGs, but they were a total waste of time and money. The Goodyears turn 1.50 60s and run straight as a string; the BFGs could not even get below 1.80 and were so slippery it was hard to keep the A straight under power. On the street, I run premium pump gas 92 octane. On the strip, seeking to avoid any risk of detonation, I run 112 octane race gas, blended with the 92 already in my tank. The A is driven to the track with the slicks and jack in a carrier bolted to a trailer hitch in the rear of the A then raced once the slicks are bolted on. At day's end, the "basket trailer" for the slicks and jack are then bolted back into the trailer hitch, and we drive back home on the street tires, with the slicks and jack back into the basket. And, last but not least, much of the credit for getting this sedan into the 10s goes to the superb and patient advice I have received over the past several years from the expert commentators on Hotrodders Bulletin Board. So "YES', one can run 10s in an entirely streetable hot rod, set up correctly.

Non linear model fitting with an integral model
Hello, I'm new user of Mathemetica. I'm trying to fit data to a model, that is defined by an integral, using NonlinearModelFit. The integral contains the parameter I'm looking for. When I set a particular value for the parameter, NIntegrate works well giving an estimate of the integral value; but when I define the model within the fitting algorithm, the integral cannot be numerically evaluated since it contains the non-numerical parameter giving the "inumr" error message. Do anyone know how to fit data with model parameters contained in an integral that must be numerically evaluated?

Pebble Beach, Calif. • Brandt Snedeker didn't have to take a back seat to anyone at Pebble Beach.
A runner-up to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson each of the last two weeks, Snedeker finished off a record performance Sunday with a 7-under 65 for a two-shot victory over Chris Kirk in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Snedeker holed a 10-foot birdie on the 17th hole, and then tapped in for par to finish at 19-under 267. That broke the tournament record by one shot held by Mickelson (2007) and Mark O'Meara (1997), who each had a 20-under 268 when Poppy Hills was still in the rotation.
The hottest player in golf, Snedeker finally has a trophy to show for it.
"Feels great to finish one," he said. "The last two weeks, playing great but running into two Hall of Famers, really motivated me to go out and prove that I can handle the lead."
In five starts this year, he already had a win, two second-place finishes and a third. He never had much of a chance against Woods at Torrey Pines or Mickelson at the Phoenix Open, who each had big leads going into the final round.
Snedeker was tied with James Hahn, a 31-year-old rookie from the Bay Area, and seized control with an eagle and three birdies on the opening seven holes. Snedeker responded to his only bogey, a three-putt at No. 9, by rolling in birdie putts on the next two holes.
He took a long gaze out at the Pacific while waiting on the 18th tee at Pebble Beach, perhaps reflecting on an amazing ride over the last six months winning the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup and its $10 million prize, his first Ryder Cup team, and a blazing start to the new season.
Snedeker goes to No. 4 in the world, the highest ranking of his career and second only to Woods among Americans.
"Kind of crazy to think what's happened," he said.
He now heads off to a vacation on Maui before returning for the stretch run leading to the Masters. Winning a major is the next step for Snedeker, a 32-year-old from Nashville who has emerged as a veritable threat wherever he plays with a confident putting stroke and a dramatic increase in hitting fairways off the tee.
Hahn wound up with a 2-under 70 and tied for third with Jimmy Walker (66) and Kevin Stadler (65). The day wasn't a total loss for Hahn. He previously tied for fourth at the Humana Challenge, and his tie for third gets him into Riviera next week. He hasn't missed a cut this year and is already 11th in the FedEx Cup standings.
Champions Tour
In Boca Raton, Fla., Rocco Mediate birdied the 18th hole and finished with a 1-under par 71 to win the Allianz Championship, becoming the 16th player to win in his Champions Tour debut. He finished at 17-under 199. Mediate's 4-foot birdie putt came after Tom Pernice Jr. missed a 5-footer at No. 18 that could have forced a playoff.

Last week, Penn State's Aaron Maybin raised eyebrows at his Pro Day with a performance fueled by a stunning, "you-wouldn't-like-me-when-I'm-angry" increase in his physique.
North Carolina's Hakeem Nicks also showed off a new body last week — but not in a good way.
Since tweaking his hamstring at the Scouting Combine, Nicks had been unable to work out. And, as a result, he gained roughly 15 pounds in three weeks. (NFL.com has the number as 14; we've heard that he gained 16 pounds.)
As one scout who attended the session opined: "He looked like a fat tight end not a lean receiver. . . . He's got to have a weight problem. This is the most important few months of his life and he gains a ton of weight. I don't get it. Many scouts and coaches went away very disappointed."
That said, we're told that Nicks already has shed much of the weight, and that he'll be working out privately for the Bears and the Dolphins.

Sounds like someone in the lower half of the first round is trying to get Nicks to slide their way.

Weight Gain > Wonderlic = ($)
Bob_Nelson says: Mar 24, 2009 1:33 PM
Fits in with the Wonderlic score and being stupid.
Pea Tear Griffin says: Mar 24, 2009 1:36 PM
Welcome to the 2nd round.
TheCoop says: Mar 24, 2009 1:37 PM
I don't care how fat he is, that catch he made against WVU in the Whogivesacrap.com Bowl was one of the sickest of all time.
A guy with hands like that can play for my team any day.
reo says: Mar 24, 2009 1:46 PM
Am I the only one that can't stop singing, "Fat guy in a little coat"
TCLARK says: Mar 24, 2009 1:49 PM
Funny if he ends up with the Raiders.
lolODELLTHURMANlol says: Mar 24, 2009 1:50 PM
Some of these scouts don't make sense. The kid obviously was injured and he gained weight. Just like how one scout called Andre Smith's pro day "The worst one I have ever seen." In which alot of the media members stated that during position drills he looked good, and he had a above average pro day. He is still a very young man with a very high ceiling.

Coached by Butch Davis. You may have heard of him.
watchthisjack says: Mar 24, 2009 2:04 PM
David Boston doesn't see what the problem is.
Tuck You says: Mar 24, 2009 2:05 PM
Classic example of a player decreasing his stock so that he'll slip to a good team like, oh say, the Giants…hahahaha
TheCoop says: Mar 24, 2009 2:06 PM
Oh yeah, Butch Davis. I HAVE heard of him. The guy who basically single-handedly ruined the Cleveland Browns franchise for all eternity?
That Butch Davis?

Wasn't he that crappy coach that quit his NFL gig half-way through a season?? No wonder his players are retarded and fat.

Wasn't he the guy that had a nervous breakdown in the NFL with the Browns??
freshcope says: Mar 24, 2009 2:22 PM
Didn't Davis have a nervous breakdown in the NFL??
tkebean says: Mar 24, 2009 2:22 PM
Butch Davis? Yeah, I've heard of him. He's that football coach that coached browns and coached them into being the doormat of AFC North for quite a few years. Cincy, Pittsburgh and Baltimore all love the guy…only because he's a horrible coach though.
Tommy Lawlor says: Mar 24, 2009 2:22 PM
There is only one way to find out the truth. Put Mr. Nicks in a room with Jack Bauer. Give Jack a toaster, a bucket of water, 3 scorpions, a pipe cleaner, and a copy of Carl Lewis singing the national anthem. We'll find out who's behind the gravy conspiracy or Nicks will suffer worse than Florio's favorite chair on burrito night.
MakingitRain says: Mar 24, 2009 2:25 PM
It's hard to gain 16 pounds in three weeks when your trying much less on accident.
jdwfool says: Mar 24, 2009 2:31 PM
How could he have shed a lot of the weight, if his Pro Day was yesterday?
dawk20db says: Mar 24, 2009 2:33 PM
Butch Who?
TCLARK says: Mar 24, 2009 2:39 PM
The same Butch Davis that won a national chapionship at Miami. The same Butch Davis that was a "Pro Factory" back at the "U". Blame the Browns front office for what happend in Cleveland.
Tommy Lawlor says: Mar 24, 2009 2:40 PM
RE: How could he have shed a lot of the weight, if his Pro Day was yesterday?
The UNC Pro Day was last week. Gil Brandt just reported on it yesterday.
fidster says: Mar 24, 2009 2:50 PM
I couldn't gain 15 pounds in 3 weeks if I tried.
Maybe he's been training with that "half ton man" from TV.
Or maybe Darrius Heyward-Bey has been spiking Nicks' G2 with milk shakes.
ACDC84 says: Mar 24, 2009 2:58 PM
Everyone is making too big of a deal of this WR that has gained a few pounds. He'll still be an awesome pro.
Mike Williams
novemberpapa says: Mar 24, 2009 2:59 PM
Is it me or is "TCLARK" coming of as real pussy.
rusH1023 says: Mar 24, 2009 3:10 PM
I just saw a pic of him from the Pro Day. Didn't look like a fat TE to me. Someone's trying to ruin his stock, IMO. Ahh, the sh!t Wall Street teaches us.

What year was that that Butch won that National Championship?? I can only find when Larry Coker won it after he left. Get your facts straight.
TCLARK says: Mar 24, 2009 4:07 PM
As for Butch Davis. These where his guy. But hey what do I know?
Ray Lewis (LB), Yatil Green (WR), Kenard Lang (DE), Kenny Holmes (DE), Duane Starks (CB), Edgerrin James (RB), Bubba Franks (TE), Dan Morgan (LB), Damion Lewis (DT), Santana Moss (WR), Reggie Wayne (WR), Bryant McKinnie (OT), Jeremy Shockey (TE), Phillip Buchanon (CB), Ed Reed (S), Mike Rumph (CB), Andre Johnson (WR), Jerome McDougle (DE), Willis McGahee (RB), William Joseph (DT), Sean Taylor (S), Kellen Winslow II (TE), Jonathan Vilma (LB), D.J. Williams (LB), Vernon Carey (OT), Vince Wilfork (DT), Antrel Rolle (CB), and Kelly Jennings (CB)[2]. Moreover, Davis' smaller-than-usual recruiting classes are widely considered to have laid the foundation for Miami's undefeated national championship team of 2001 (under Davis' former offensive coordinator, Larry Coker), since many of his recruits were forced to play right away.
jmclarkent says: Mar 24, 2009 5:47 PM
Maybe Hakeem is on a budget and the only workout former-pro ringer that he could afford was Mike Williams…
Rutabaga says: Mar 24, 2009 7:08 PM
TCLARK which players do you think earned more money while playing with Davis as coach, the players you listed from the U or the Cleveland Browns?

That Casio submitted the latest version of its ultra-thin camera phone to the FCC is a cruel jape: the model line is only available in Japan.
Hope springs eternal. Who could not want a RAZR-sized phone with a 800x480 high-res, 3.1" OLED display, 8.1 megapixel camera and 30fps video recording? It's really quite disgusting–it even comes in green.

Blogs are everywhere. These self-publishing platforms where individuals are showcasing their opinions and ideas exist in almost every industry, and chances are many of the websites you visit are actually blogs (including this one).
Blogging is a modern-day marketing platform for cultivating client, prospect, and center of influence relationships. A well-designed and properly structured blog can provide you with an opportunity to pro-actively manage your online reputation and attract new clients into your business.
Technorati recently published it's 2010 State of the Blogosphere Report, and you can read an excellent summary of findings from Lee Odden. From this report, here are the top ways that blogging has helped individuals with business:
- greater industry visibility (64%)
- acquired new customers, made sales (58%)
- built thought leadership (54%)
- asked to speak at conferences (32%)
- helped recruit employees (17%
If you've thought about blogging but haven't made the investment, perhaps it's time to get going!
What exactly is a blog?
A blog is a self-publishing tool that allows you to wrap your personal brand around your practice. Blogging is the new "educational marketing". It is a digital journal where you can share your insights through multiple media formats including articles you write, videos, images, and even screen-casts. Blogging allows you to communicate your thoughts easily and effectively to your target audience, which can ultimately grow your influence.
Rather than driving prospective clients and social media connections directly to your website, driving them first to your personalized blog provides an opportunity for them to get to know, like, and trust you. Thus, a blog provides you with an opportunity for client relationship development and engagement, rather than simply showcasing your products and services on your website. Your blog should be personalized around who you are, what you care about, how you help people, and ultimately what makes you different.
In addition, most blogs have built-in social engagement tools that can help you build stronger connections while getting your message out. For example, it is quite simple for a client to read your blog post on a particular topic and share it with a friend on Facebook. Blog posts can be easily shared as links on social networking sites, and posts can be sent automatically to your email subscribers. The more people who see your value-added insights, the more opportunities you have to build new connections and generate introductions.
What kind of content should I publish on my blog?
Your blog can be anything you want it to be. You can write about your hobbies and interests, local events, books, charitable endeavors, restaurants that you love, or anything else that you value on a personal level. Blog posts are a great way for your target audience to get to know you and connect with you around common interests. People do business with people, not companies. Your blog will be more effective if you can weave your personality into your content and develop your unique content strategy.
Secondly, your blog is a place to publish your expertise about the opportunities and challenges in your industry. You need to be passionate, interesting and different in order to stand out. In addition, always insert your personality and opinions. People are looking for trusted guidance and advice. They want to be told what to do and how to do it.
What if I'm not a good writer?
Blog posts don't have to be long-form articles. They can be short commentaries about anything from your opinion on a current event or news story, an analysis of something happening in your industry, how to's, book reviews, personal stories, etc. Blog posts can also be in the form of mixed media such as images, videos, audio, and screen-casts. Find what works for you and use the media formats with which you are most comfortable. The opportunities are endless and limited only by your creativity! Most importantly, determine what your target markets are interested in learning about and craft your content for them.
How can a blog help me build my online reputation, and my business?
A blog gives you the opportunity to share your thought leadership and expand your reach. You have a great a message, but how are you communicating that message and who is listening? Answer questions and provide solutions to your target markets through your blog. Give them education, education, education! If you do it well, blogging can help you communicate your message and increase your visibility in the markets that matter most to you, while simultaneously adding value to the conversation.
What about capturing leads?
If a prospective client visits your blog site, he or she can be encouraged to subscribe to your updates, and you will be able to capture information about that prospect and stay in touch with them. Additionally, you can research and potentially connect with these prospects through social networks and learn more about them. Ultimately, growing your network will help you grow your business and never before have you been able to have influence AND reach of this magnitude!
Doesn't blogging take a lot of time and effort?
Blogging does take significant time and dedication if you want to really have an impact. It is not for everyone. You must be willing to publish your ideas, thoughts, and opinions on a consistent basis. Also, you'll want to have a professional presence with regard to your blog. Although there are several free blogging platforms, consider investing in a professional design and flexible platform such as the self-hosted WordPress platform for your professional brand. You are in the business of giving professional advice. Everything you do online must have a professional look and feel because your reputation is at stake!
What typically works best in my opinion is to have your blog serve as a digital asset that is somewhat separate and distinct from your company or business web site, which you can do either by choosing a unique URL or by placing it on a sub-domain of your existing website. Splitting the two allows your content to be more easily discovered, and your blog will be indexed separately from your website by the search engines which can help improve your actual search results that come up under your name (you will own more slots). Most importantly, you don't want all of that great content you are publishing to get lost behind your website. Your blog should serve as the first stop, or the window into your personal brand where you can focus on building personal relationships first, and business second.
How do I promote my blog?
Promoting your blog is a key factor for success. Get the word out and let all of your contacts know about your blog! This can help generate buzz and visibility. Sharing your posts in the right social circles to stimulate engagement also drives traffic to your blog. That said, be careful about being too promotional. Writing guest posts for related blogs, commenting on relevant blog posts, submitting your posts to article sites, and partnering with other successful bloggers in the industry are the right ways to grow your visibility.
With millions of people sharing and searching online, your online reputation becomes increasingly important. What will they find when they come across your professional brand on the web? A blog can help you shape your online reputation.
If you consider yourself a thought leader and you enjoy writing, speaking, and sharing, don't overlook blogging as a way to build your digital identity. Your blog will be a digital asset that grows in value over time, while paying dividends along the way.

BLAIRSVILLE — Shooting a buck in a Walmart parking lot counts as a "conscious disregard" for other people's safety, Magistrate Judge Jennifer Rega said at a preliminary hearing Wednesday morning for Arcangelo Bianco Jr. as she held the charges over for trial in the Court of Common Pleas.
"I think common sense dictates that was a conscious disregard," Rega said.
Bianco, 40, of Derry, was charged in March with a misdemeanor count of reckless endangerment as well as five summary offenses, all hunting law violations.
He will face all the charges in the Court of Common Pleas.
His attorney, Jason Huska, of Latrobe, argued that Bianco was shooting the buck behind the store, and that a rise in the grade of the area up to Old Route 22 meant he was shooting toward an embankment rather than a highway.
He argued Bianco was not aware of any people in the vicinity, and that as such he had not consciously disregarded their safety; conscious disregard is required for the count of reckless endangerment.
Assistant District Attorney Jay Carmella countered that firing shots in the parking lot of a Walmart during daylight hours the week before Thanksgiving — when presumably the store would be busy with holiday shoppers — was itself disregarding others' well-being.
Rega agreed.
Huska called no witnesses, and Bianco did not address the court.
But Carmella called two: Dominick Hewitt, a Walmart employee who watched the incident unfold from the Lawn and Garden patio area, and Jack Lucas, a wildlife conservation officer with the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Hewitt said he had been loading trailers when he saw a vehicle back up, park, and the driver jump out and start running.
Then he saw the deer. He said the man and the buck ran across the back end of Lawn and Garden, that the man fired two shots, then another, then finally fired two more in someone's yard across the road.
He said that after the buck was down the man returned for his truck, and then saw him and told him that he thought the deer had been injured and should be taken care of.
He said the man, whom he identified as Bianco, then loaded the buck into his truck and left.
Lucas said he reviewed surveillance video from the store and noted the blood from where the animal was shot. He said the shots were fired within the 150-foot safety zone around occupied structures.
He also said he recovered the deer's carcass from a butcher, but by the time he found the taxidermist where the head and antlers had been taken, Bianco had taken them, he said.
Bianco told him that he had thrown them out, he said.
A trial date has not been set. Bianco remains free on his own recognizance.

Reconfigurable Architectures for System Level Applications of Adaptive Computing

The System Level Applications of Adaptive Computing (SLAAC) project is defining an open, distributed, scalable, adaptive computing systems architecture based on a highspeed network cluster of heterogeneous, FPGA-accelerated nodes. Two reference implementations of this architecture are being created. The Research Reference Platform (RRP) is a MyrinetTM cluster of PCs with PCI-based FPGA accelerators (SLAAC-1). The Deployable Reference Platform (DRP) is a Myrinet cluster of PowerPCTM nodes with VME-based FPGA accelerators (SLAAC-2) and a commercial 6U-VME quad- PowerPC board (CSPI M2641S) serving as the carrier. A key strategy proposed for successful ACS technology insertions is source-code compatibility between the RRP and DRP platforms. This paper focuses on the development of the SLAAC-1 and SLAAC-2 accelerators and how the network-centric SLAAC system-level architecture has shaped their designs. A preliminary mapping of a Synthetic Aperture Radar/Automatic Target Recognition (SAR/ATR) algorithm to SLAAC-2 is also discussed.

I make tattoos, try to make some art, and try to be outdoors as much as i can.
I work out of, and co-own, PIONEER studio. It has been one of my homes away from home for over 5 years now, and i couldn't be more proud of it.
The tattoos I make, reflect strongly, my interests in anything the natural world has to offer. Plants, Fish, Frogs, Insects, Flowers, Birds, Mountains, Water, Trees, anything falling under nature's umbrella, are all in my wheelhouse. Not to exclude, however, the world of Skulls, Dragons, Strange Animal Hybrids, etc.
I am focusing my work on Black and Grey, and for the time being, will ONLY be taking on Black and Grey projects.
I work strictly by appointment, trying to fill roughly 4 months at a time. I try to accommodate as many clients as I can, but there are only so many hours in a day, so I must be selective. Pricing is based hourly at $200/hour. Small and large projects are welcome alike. The meticulous nature of my tattoo approach means they take time. Please note that big projects can take several months to complete, and time frame should be considered when entering into these types of tattoos.
The contact form below is the first step in the booking process. Please include a brief description of your concept. The information you provide will help me make sure I'm a good fit for your project.
click here for the CONTACT FORM
After reviewing the contact form and determining if we are a go for the project, you will be contacted to book both a consultation and subsequent tattoo appointments. All consultations go through this process, so please, to honor your time, mine, and the clients I'm working on, refrain from stopping by the shop without an appointment.
I have the utmost appreciation for my clients. I'm honored to get to know them and do my best to make the whole tattoo experience as stress free and enjoyable as possible. Thank you so much for visiting my page!

A lovely ceremony took place yesterday in honor of the dedication of the Hooker School. This $12.9 million renovation created a wonderful new environment in which students can learn and prosper. The renovated Hooker School site houses 173 students in grades Kindergarten through 2. The exterior of the school was fully restored, including the original brickwork. We added an elevator to the school along with free standing units in the school�s 20-foot-wide corridors to free up additional space in classrooms. This is the 24th school construction project we have completed. That means there are 5 more in the construction process, another 5 in the design process and the final 5 in the planning process.
Holocaust Memorial Exhibit
Yesterday, the directors of the New Haven Holocaust Memorial unveiled their traveling oral history exhibit. The exhibit, which features audio oral history components, will travel from City Hall to the city�s libraries and eventually to the State Capitol to tell the story of the memorial and the individuals who gave their time and resources toward its creation. Marking the 30th anniversary of the Memorial, this exhibit will share how New Haven became a pioneer by being the first city to give public land toward the creation of a Holocaust remembrance site.
In the week ahead...
Protect Your Home from Burglary
On Tuesday at 11am the New Haven Police Department will be hosting a press conference on burglary and protecting your home. Chief Ortiz and specialists from the Department will demonstrate tools and techniques for protecting your home against burglary. They will also discuss the hard work that the Department is doing to take burglars off of the street and keep you and your belongings safe. The media and the community are invited to participate at police headquarters.
Universal Health Care Rally and Hartford Bus Caravan
I am proud to have fought for universal health care not only for the people of New Haven but as a necessity for our neighbors throughout the state. Every family and every individual deserves affordable access to quality medical care. For this reason, I am supporting the �healthcare4every1� rally that will take place at the State Capitol in Hartford this Saturday. I want all New Haven residents who can attend to make their way to Hartford to stand behind Universal Health Care initiatives. In order to help facilitate this, I am providing three buses so that New Haven resident can travel to Hartford for this event. If you are interested in getting on the bus please call 203-639-0550. In advance, there will be a press conference on Wednesday at 4pm in front of the C-Town Supermarket on Dixwell Avenue. Please come out to show your support, register to attend Saturday�s activities and pick up your healthcare4every1 t-shirt to wear at the Hartford rally.
Democracy School Graduation
On Wednesday, Democracy School students will be graduating from their 6 session program. Twenty-six New Haven residents took part in this civic education opportunity this year. Graduates spent time learning about the various departments of the City�s government and gained a comprehensive understanding of how the City operates. I will be presenting graduation certificates to the individuals that successfully completed the program at 5pm on Wednesday. Congratulations to all graduates!
I wish you a happy and healthy week.
Very truly yours,
John DeStefano, Jr.
