Who's That Girl?
The Woman Behind the Words!
My Job: Middle School Librarian at a progressive independent school in downtown Manhattan. Boisterous and snarky opinions expressed on this blog are entirely my own and DO NOT in any way, shape or form represent the opinions of my employer.
My Favorite Color: PINK! (And for all of you that grumble about pink being a traditional "girl" color and anti-feminist, TOO BAD. I like pink, and I say we feminists take it back as OUR color:)
My Favorite Flavor: Blue raspberry.
My Favorite Bands/Singers: The Doors, early Harry Connick, Jr., Hole (before Courtney Love totally sold Kurt out), The Cure, Bon Jovi (a hold-over from my 80's high school days, but come on, the older Jon gets, the better he looks), Indigo Girls, Alicia Keys, Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, Aimee Mann, Ben Folds, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, The Hold Steady, Ryan Adams, Vampire Weekend, Mary J. Blige, The White Stripes, The Lumineers, Ke$ha and Barenaked Ladies. I love the GLEE soundtracks as well. And let's not forget the amazing cast recording to the musical that is simply the epitome of adolescent angst (and no, I'm not talking about High School Musical) Spring Awakening!
My Free Time: Often spent reading, quilting and watching way too much reality television, primarily on MTV (Teen Mom!) Bravo (Top Chef! Real Housewives!) and BBC America (How Clean is Your House?! What Not to Wear!). Some of my favorite non-reality TV shows are Mad Men, The Office, Entourage, Bored to Death and Damages. I also write reviews regularly for cool professional librarian rags Booklist & Kirkus Reviews, and occasionally for TimeOut New York Kids and Amazon.com. Oh yeah, and I spent a year and a half of my life missing out on EVERYTHING to write this book.
My Faults: I am too loud to work in a library, too chicken to pierce my eyebrow, and way too obsessed with young adult literature.
My Strengths: Did I mention that I was WAY too obsessed with young adult literature?
My Hobbies: Collecting Sweet Valley High paperbacks with the original artwork covers, writing short stories and cooking. And of course, reading and reviewing.
Presentations: Check out all the details about a Reading Rants road show!

text: Hi, I have a strange situation with my watch. My watch stopped so I changed the battery which I thought was a little soon because I had previously replaced it less than a year ago with an energizer battery. I put the new battery in, and it still didn't tick. But then I noticed that if I had the stem part of the way out, it would tick, but not when pressed in all the way and screwed in place. Basically it only ticks when the stem is in "position 1". Any advice, is this a common problem? is there an easy fix I can do myself? It's my favorite watch. Thanks, Jay

Bilstein Strut install question
2 Attachment(s)
I just got my Jeep back from the dealer where I had my Bilsteins installed...after looking closely...one of the front struts, at the bottom, where the bolt goes through looks bent slightly..not the strut itself. Just wondering if I need to be worried here? I tried to take a pic of the bent one compared to the straight one on the other side.
The dealer bent it?!?! Take it back on principle alone. You don't wanna lose any strength in the bolt or you could have potential problems later.
Re: Bilstein Strut install question
i dont see whats bent?
Looks like that small yellow tab on the strut is bent up a lil. Right?! Lol
Left pic
Why wouldn't you just take it back? I wouldn't even spend the time to make a thread, if ones different then the other go back and demand they replace it.

Re: Bilstein Strut install question
yup..it's the little yellow thing..the tab thing that the bolt goes through...I bought the parts elsewhere, and had them do the work... thought I would take it to the dealer to have it done right! They also left the coolant tank unbolted...found the bolts under the hood! I do plan on going back but wanted to check here for some thoughts...
Re: Bilstein Strut install question
When I installed mine, I had to cut that tap. You shouldn't have any problems with it bent.
Regardless the dealer effed up w the coolant bolts too. Doh
Re: Bilstein Strut install question
Lol to mouth breathers!!!
Re: Bilstein Strut install question
Sorry for the tangent!

Katy Perry Guesting On "Raising Hope"
Katy Perry is set to guest star on the March 6 episode of the Fox sitcom "Raising Hope". The singer will play a prison attendant who claims to be an old friend of Sabrina (Shannon Woodward), who's been arrested after participating in an Occupy Natesville protest.
Perry and Woodward are friends in real life which inspired Perry's casting, according to executive producer Greg Garcia, who says, "Shannon Woodward told me that her friend Katy was interested in doing an episode and I thought, 'Why not? Let's do your friend Katy a favor."
He then added, "Then she came in and did a terrific job. She was hilarious. And now people are telling me that Katy is also a singer. I sincerely hope that her appearance on the show helps her get her singing career off the ground. It's a tough business."

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:05am
MILTON, Mass. – Curry College Athletic Director Vinnie Eruzione has announced the appointment of Timothy J. Murphy of Bangor, Maine as head men's lacrosse coach.
"We are excited to have Tim Murphy as our new men's lacrosse coach at Curry College," said Eruzione. "Tim values the student aspect of student-athlete and understands the importance of being held accountable on the playing fieldand in the classroom."
"I am grateful for the opportunity to lead the young men of the Curry Lacrosse program," said Murphy. The combination of the academic offerings, small community feel, and vision of the athletic department, make Curry College feel like home. This is a great time to be a Colonel, and I am looking forward to the journey ahead."
Murphy comes to Curry after reaching an unprecedented level of success at the helm of the Husson University men's lacrosse program, where he guided the Eagles to their first-ever appearance in the ECAC Division III New England Tournament.
Prior to Husson, Murphy served as an assistant coach at Franklin Pierce University where he helped the Ravens earn the most wins in program history, as well as the program's first winning record at home.
Before coaching at Franklin Pierce, Murphy was an assistant coach at St. Andrews Presbyterian College (NC). While at St. Andrews, he served as the defensive coordinator in 2008 and the offensive coordinator in 2009.
Previous to his two seasons at St. Andrews, he worked as the top assistant for Merrimack College during the 2006 season. Murphy spent the 2005 season as an assistant coach at the University of Southern Maine as well as Kennebunk High, his former high school.
A native of Kennebunk, Maine, Murphy was a four-year starter at the attack position while at Merrimack College.

Well now its seems we have a whole new ball game here. I just installed the Mye Stands, they have made an amazing difference to the sound of my 3.6's. The subwoofer is off and may stay off for a long while. I was expecting some improvments in the bass, but did not expect the maggies to go so low or so deep. Major improvments in clarity of bass and more detail coming thru across the board.
Thanks Grant! You make a fantastic product!

Architectual Woodworking - A Wedding in the Mansion
This past weekend I attended a wedding at the Palace Hotel in New York. The hotel, build about 25 years ago stands behind the Villard Houses,
two neo-Renaissance mansions built in 1882
. When the hotel was built there was a move to demolish the houses but preservationist won and buildings were incorporated into the hotel high rise. It has proved to be a great business decision and the hotel hosts events and has a bar in part of the space, which is one of the most spectacular interiors in New York City.
From a woodworking perspective it's important to understand several things - that craft and decoration pays off. Without preserving and adapting these rooms to modern usage, the hotel would be one more nondescript business in the city. With preservation they have a competitive edge.
Unlike museum quality work, when you look closely at the carvings, which are opulent and wonderful, you might notice that the gold carvings on first floor are fancier and better executed than the carvings on the second floor. This is an important lesson - most people won't notice, and unlike a few random stellar examples in a museum, the practical exercise of creating a house full of decorations means compromise. I wonder if there are any architects up to the task of designing and orchestrating a neo-Renaissance interior with all the carvings. I bet with CNC for the bulk work, some nice detailed handwork and some cleverness it could look great and be cost effective.
Finally, for all that designers say that older crafts are dead, and people these days want modern looking furniture of glass and steel - it isn't true. If it was true the "Gold Rooms" as they are called, wouldn't be popular. But they are! A lot of the appeal of many of the bars and restaurants in New York are their classic interiors. So the real issue isn't "should a new project be modern or antique?", the real question is how to create a "craft heavy" interior on a reasonable budget.
Incidentally the UN was having a big meeting at the time and the hotel was host to several high level delegations. For the first time going to a wedding I had to pass through security and there were secret service and swat team members all over the place looking me over.

Quick, find a bar of soap and wash your mouth out (or your fingertips and keyboard)!!!
Perish the thought. The CNC carved detritus (mostly from China) is already so abundant as to bury us. No mas!
If you want elegance, do it right with hand carved material.
I am a huge fan of hand carving but even in the 19th century, when these mansions were built, the huge demand for carved moldings, details, friezes & etc meant pervasive use of pattern carving machines, stamped moldings, and other stuff. The other thing is that there are carvings and there are carvings. most CNC carvings I have seen are BAD, but there is no reason why they cannot be made better, and to make the better you do need a real carver at the helm. And I would much rather someone builds more buildings with fancy carved interiors with machine aid then being scared off the project because of the cost of hiring a talented carver to carve 3000 ft of identical molding.
I take it the carving above the marble is on the second floor. Looks as crude as my efforts at architectural carving. The other carvings look exquisite. Wish you showed more pictures!
I'm not positive, but possibly not. One of the things that is really interesting about the mansion is that as a whole the decoration is magnificent, but when you look at the details the stuff just isn't what we see in museums. And that I think is really important. Museums usually reflect the best work around. This work is more typical of large mansion projects. Some of it great, all of it pretty good, but you don't have your "A" list carvers working on 500 feet of identical molding. Also there is 130 years of wear and tear on the piece. (which is why in museums they don't let you touch anything)
I could see a compromise - using CNC to do the basic blocking for the carvings, leaving the final/fine detail for the hand carver.
Bob Easton
Paul has a reasonably good suggestion. Use CNC to do the mundane work, especially with long runs of molding and an artist adds a hand made refinement.
THANKS Joel, for showing us this beautiful work!
Richard Wright
During the hayday of furniture making in the 1800's, most of the detail carving was roughed out by duplicator then finished by hand by professional carvers, exactly as Paul suggests. In Grand Rapids MI, at that time the furniture making capitol of the US, there were over 300 carvers employed by the various furniture companies. If you look at the best of it in museums, it looks and feels hand carved, because it really is. My guess is that is what happened at the Palace. Perhaps the master carvers did the first floor, journeymen the second, etc.? Sadly,a lot of the junk out there today which is called "carving" bears little or no "touch" from a real carver, and it looks it too!!
