Francis B. Brusino passed away Sept. 29, 2013, at the age of 82.
He was the beloved husband of 22 years to Susan E. (nee Fleming) Brusino; dearest father of Lee (Eileen) Brusino, F. Gregory (Jennifer) Brusino, and Karl Brusino; and devoted grandfather of Haley, Joseph, Alora, Brandon, Catja, and Donovan Brusino. He was pre-deceased by his parents, Frank and Faustina (nee Cipollone) Brusino and his sister Geraldine Brusino. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews.
The family will be present Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the (Tonawanda Chapel) Amigone Funeral Home Inc., 2600 Sheridan Drive (corner Parker Boulevard). Family and friends are invited to assemble at St. Francis of Assisi Church, 150 Broad St. at Clinton Park, in Tonawanda for a Mass of Christian Burial Saturday at 9:30 a.m. Interment with military honors to follow at Whitehaven Cemetery, East River Road, Grand Island. Flowers gratefully declined. If so desired, any donations made in Frank's memory will be forwarded by the family to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Born June 21, 1931, and raised on 19th Street in Niagara Falls, Brusino moved to Grand Island 22 years ago.
He graduated from Bishop Duffy High School in 1950 and played on the school's championship football team during his senior year.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Niagara University in 1954 and a Master of Arts from Niagara University in 1958. He also attended Florida State University, University of Delaware, University at Buffalo and Canisius College for certifications in guidance and administration.
He was a teacher, counselor and administrator in the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District from 1958 to 1991, ending his educational career at Edward Town Middle School.
His military career spanned ROTC years at Niagara University from 1950 to 1954 with active duty following his commission in Germany and stateside to 1957. Service in the U.S. Army Reserve followed. He completed many military schools, including 11th Airborne Basic and Advanced Airborne Course (Jumpmaster); Infantry Officer Advanced Course; U.S. Army JFK Center, Special Warfare Course; U.S. Army Counter-Insurgency Course; Command and General Staff College, all during the 1950s and 1960s.
Brusino's proudest assignment was serving as battalion commander of the 19th Special Forces Group out of White Plains. He retired in 1991.
During the 1990s, he became commander of Headquarters 4th Brigade, N.Y. National Guard and was promoted to brigadier general, retiring in the late 1990s.
His military decorations include: Meritorious Service Medal; Army Commendation Medal; Army Achievement Medal; National Defense Service Medal; Army Overseas Service Ribbon; Master Parachutist Badge; Special Forces Tab; NYS Military Commendation Medal; NYS Long and Faithful Service Medal.
As National Guard commander, he was called to duty during 1971 Attica Prison uprising.
Brusino was a member of many military and veteran organizations, including Special Forces Association, American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, 82nd Airborne Division, 11th Airborne Division, and 1/174th Veterans.
After 9/11, Brusino was a founding member of Grand Island's CERT Team (Citizen's Emergency Response Team) and had the honor of meeting President Bush on the tarmac in his 2004 visit to Buffalo. In front of Air Force One, he presented President Bush with an Enduring Freedom Coin from his son, Karl, who served in Afghanistan. The media following the event referred to him as the "unidentified man from Grand Island" meeting with and riding to Kleinhans with the president. When introduced at Kleinhans by the president as "quite a character" the president took time to talk about Frank and of all other first responders necessary for our country to be strong. He was awarded Excellence in Leadership Award for his work with CERT in 2005 and later in 2011 Frank was recognized by the Grand Island Fire Co. for his community services with the Grand Island CERT Team.
In the early 2000s, Brusino traveled with Friendship Airborne to China, Thailand, Cambodia and Mongolia, earning jump wings from each country. He also traveled with his son to war-torn Bosnia.
Brusino enjoyed hunting, boating and travel, visiting throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia.

Courtney Vaughan Kitchen, 2018-10-06 03:51:47. 2. Take a look at the remodeler's earlier performance. Examine the firm's website to check out photos of previous projects. If there isn't a website, ask to see photographs. Because it's possible a remodeler could potentially present to you pictures of projects they have not really accomplished, you should always ask if you can talk with the actual house owners whose projects are photographed. By doing this, you not merely verify the fact that the work was indeed accomplished by the remodeler but you are able to speak to former customers regarding the quality of the work and their contentment with the remodeler coming from a workmanship viewpoint and regarding business processes. It's also a great notion to ask for both recent references and ones from longer ago. Talking to house owners about earlier projects can offer insights towards precisely how well the remodeler's work stands up over the years. Additionally, have a look at ratings and reviews for the remodeler at on-line sources such Angie's List, social media sites, Google Local Business Listings, etc. Talk about any negative reviews with the remodeler to establish if the responses raise legitimate problems.

DG signs Venice Baroque Orchestra and Andrea Marcon to an exclusive contract for Archiv Produktion
Conductor, organist, harpsichordist, and scholar Andrea Marcon is recognized as one of today's foremost performers of early music. In 1998, he founded the Venice Baroque Orchestra with some of Italy's finest instrumentalists. Together, they have performed throughout Europe and Japan, in the 2001/02 season alone appearing in over 35 cities, including New York, Tokyo, Milan, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Aldeburgh, and London.
Following their New York dťbut at Lincoln Center in August 2001, The New York Times wrote that "the hottest groups no longer come from England and the Netherlands, but from Italy. One of the newest is the Venice Baroque Orchestra ... a youthful group that plays zestily and with a tightly drilled ensemble." The Guardian in London, reviewing their BBC Prom concert at the Albert Hall in August 2002, declared: "The VBO's instrumentalists function as a single organism that allows the music to live and speak ... Listening to this performance was like hearing The Four Seasons for the first time." And The Times critic wrote: "Not one note sounds dutiful; joy and a sense of discovery are everywhere."
The orchestra's concerts have been filmed by the BBC and NHK, and it is also winning widespread acclaim for its opera performances. Marcon's dedication to the rediscovery of Baroque masterpieces has led to the first fully staged performances in modern times of Francesco Cavalli's opera L'Orione in 1998 and Handel's Siroe in 2000. In December 2001, he conducted the contemporary revival of Cimarosa's L'Olimpiade in Venice's Teatro Malibran. Recordings by Marcon and the VBO have received extraordinary praise and many have won special distinction, including the Diapason d'or, the Vivaldi Award of the Cini Foundation, and Germany's Echo Award.
During the 2002-2003 season the Venice Baroque Orchestra under Andrea Marcon performed in cities including Rotterdam, Brussels, Cologne, Lisbon, Vienna, Barcelona, Venice, and Tokyo. Engagements for the 2003/04 season include concert performances of Handel's Siroe in Paris, Hamburg, and Metz; tours of the US including Los Angeles (the new Walt Disney Concert Hall), semi-staged performances of Siroe in Berkeley, and fully-staged performances of Handel's opera at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Andrea Marcon will also be conducting Handel's Ariodante at the Frankfurt Opera.
Speaking about the new recording relationship, Christopher Roberts, President of Deutsche Grammophon and of Universal Classics and Jazz International, said: "Founded more than 50 years ago, Deutsche Grammophon's Archiv label has pioneered the rediscovery and reinterpretation of early music and has always remained at the forefront of this field. Our partnership with the VBO adds a new chapter to that distinguished tradition." Bogdan RoöŤiś, DGG's Vice President of A&R, added: "These wonderful players have revolutionized the way Italian Baroque music is perceived, virtually reinventing a repertoire we all thought we knew only too well. It's a thrill to continue this voyage of discovery with a musician as passionate and adventurous as Andrea Marcon. Our future projects will bring his fresh insight to repertoire both known as well as unjustly neglected."
On signing the contract Andrea Marcon had this to say: "Each field of endeavor tends to have an organization that is recognized as the standard-bearer. It is thrilling for me and my colleagues in the Venice Baroque Orchestra to have been given this opportunity to add to Deutsche Grammophon's exceptional legacy and hopefully to attract new audiences to the exciting and passionate world of Baroque music."
Marcon has also offered some revealing comments about his extraordinarily fresh and open-minded, yet scholarly, performances with the VBO: "For years and years we were supposed to approach early music as if we were working in a hospital, where everything was antiseptic - 'Oh no! That's too loud! That's too much continuo!' Dry, without pathos, without feeling. But if you walk in the streets of Venice, you see that Baroque art was also very extravagant. Without your own emotion, affetto, and understanding, you are far from the real Baroque. Of course, there's not only one valid interpretation: anyone who believes that idea is absolutely wrong. Even after our years of experience in the field, there is still so much to learn!"
Andrea Marcon was born in Treviso and received a diploma in early music from Basle's Schola Cantorum for his organ and harpsichord studies with Jean-Claude Zehnder. Among his other influential teachers are Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini, Hans van Nieuwkoop, Jesper Christensen, Harald Vogel, and Ton Koopman. From 1983 to 1997, he was harpsichordist and organist of the Treviso-based early music ensemble Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca. He also founded and directed the International Organ Festival "Cittŗ di Treviso," playing a prominent role in the restoration of the city's historic organs. In 1986 he won first prize in the organ competition in Innsbruck, and as a harpsichordist he won first prize in the Bologna competition in 1991. Marcon is currently a professor of harpsichord, organ, and interpretation at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis - and has also been a visiting professor at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam.

I am a very diverse artist, creating soft pastel paintings, digital photography, and colorful glass sculptures.
My digital photography consists of a wide variety of images - Including Corporate abstracts, classic cars, Man Cave items, and scenes from the Pacific Northwest to the Adirondack Mountains of New York. My soft pastel paintings are mostly impressionistic landscapes and cityscapes. I have created over 150 beautiful solid glass sculptures.
Though each painting, glass work, or photograph, has a special meaning to me, I want the viewer to walk away with their own emotions from the work - in this way they also become part of the creative process.
I obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Washington State University, where I specialized in graphic design and photography.

The Judicial Nominating Commission, led by Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr., today announced nominees to fill the vacant Warren County Family Court judgeship
FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Judicial Nominating Commission, led by Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr., today announced nominees to fill the vacant Warren County Family Court judgeship. Warren County is the 8th Judicial Circuit and the vacancy is in the circuit's 3rd Division.
The three attorneys named as nominees to fill the vacancy are James Richard Downey, David A. Lanphear and Rebecca Adams Simpson, all of Bowling Green.
Downey served as an attorney with Kentucky Legal Aid from 2006 to 2012 and was previously an attorney in private practice. He received his juris doctor from the University of Kentucky College of Law.
Lanphear has been a partner in the law firm of Lanphear & Walton in Bowling Green for 14 years. He received his juris doctor from Northern Kentucky University Salmon P. Chase College of Law.
Simpson has served as an attorney with Kentucky Legal Aid since 2008 and was previously an attorney in private practice. She received her juris doctor from the University of Louisville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law.
The Family Court vacancy was created by the passing of Warren County Family Court Judge Margaret R. Huddleston on Jan. 3, 2014.
Judicial Nominating Process
When a judicial vacancy occurs, the executive secretary of the Judicial Nominating Commission publishes a notice of vacancy in the judicial circuit or the judicial district affected. Attorneys may recommend someone or nominate themselves. The names of the applicants are not released. Once nominations occur, the individuals interested in the position return a questionnaire to the Office of the Chief Justice. Chief Justice Minton then meets with the Judicial Nominating Commission to choose three nominees. Because the Kentucky Constitution requires that three names be submitted to the governor, in some cases the commission submits an attorney's name even though the attorney did not apply. A letter naming the three nominees is sent to Gov. Steve Beshear for review. The governor has 60 days to appoint a replacement, and his office makes the announcement.
Makeup of the Judicial Nominating Commission
The Judicial Nominating Commission is established in the Kentucky Constitution. Ky. Const. § 118; SCR 6.000, et seq. The commission has seven members. The membership is comprised of the chief justice of Kentucky (who also serves as chair), two lawyers elected by all the lawyers in their circuit/district and four Kentucky citizens who are appointed by the governor. The four citizens appointed by the governor must equally represent the two major political parties, so two must be Democrats and two must be Republicans. It is the responsibility of the commission to submit a list of three names to the governor and the governor must appoint a judge from this list of three.
Family Court
Family Court has primary jurisdiction in cases involving family issues, including divorces, adoption, child support, domestic violence and juvenile status offenses. Family Court is a division of Circuit Court.
Administrative Office of the Courts
The Administrative Office of the Courts in Frankfort is the operations arm for the state court system. The AOC supports the activities of nearly 3,300 court system employees and 403 elected justices, judges and circuit court clerks. As the fiscal agent for the state court system, the AOC executes the Judicial Branch budget.

Positive Momentum
Positive Momentum is a non-profit that was founded with the goal of introducing elite endurance athletic programs into local High Schools with the city of San Francisco. Endurance activities like cycling, triathlons, and competitive running.
Our program will be starting in SF and then moving across the country through our affiliate programs.
The target audiences are:
Kids (14-18)
Consumer packaged goods companies
Pro Athletes
Please no San Francisco references in the logo, the plan is for this to be a nationwide program. We are looking for something very clean and simple, modern and new, think Twitter over Sears :). We are not tied to any specific colors, it should not be over-complicated and should be limited to 2-4 colors, we happen to like Red, White and Blue but are open to suggestions. The logo will be used for everything from web presence to cycling and running jerseys, hats etc. The background of these jerseys etc would be black or white. Probably also best to not incorporate a cyclist (or bike), runner or swimmer into the logo.
Things/logos we like:
Ideally we'd like two versions of the logo:
Positive Momentum
They can look essentially the same, but feel free to get creative with the shortened version.
Our tag line is 'endurance athletics for all', I am not sure we can incorporate that into the logo. If it does not look good, dont do it. After the logo work, there could be follow up web design if you are interested.
This project is for a good cause, so we do appreciate your hard work and sense of creativity.
Thank you very much,

Free agent pitcher Carl Pavano said the January snow-shoveling accident that led to his spleen being removed almost was fatal.
"I'm just lucky to be alive," Pavano, 37, told the Star Tribune.
The veteran righthander, who parted ways with the Minnesota Twins following the 2012 season, was shoveling snow off the driveway of his Vermont home on Jan. 12 when the accident occurred. He jammed his midsection on the handle of his shovel but didn't think the injury was serious.
"It knocked the wind out of me," he told the newspaper. "I didn't think anything of it that weekend. We were out on snowmobiles and sleds with the kids. We were building snowmen."
Four days later, when Pavano didn't feel well after a workout in Connecticut, he sought medical help and was diagnosed with a lacerated spleen. "My body just went into shock. I turned white. It was one of the worst feelings I've probably ever had."
Doctors at a Connecticut hospital recommended Pavano take a wait-and-see approach to see if the bleeding would stop by itself.
But by Jan. 19, a week after the accident, his blood count had dropped dangerously low and a lung had collapsed. His wife called her doctor in Florida to get his opinion.
"He said I was on borrowed time," Pavano said. "So we went to Hartford Hospital. That's the No. 1 trauma center in the area."
Before removing his spleen, doctors first had to remove 6 1/2 liters of blood from his chest cavity, he said.
"I was hours away from going into cardiac arrest and probably wouldn't even be here," Pavano said.
Pavano lost 35 pounds in three weeks and still is too weak to lift his children, ages 3 and 4.
The former All-Star made 11 starts for the Twins in 2012, going 2-5 with 6.00 ERA and missing most of the year with injuries. He didn't pitch after June 1.
He will not be able to work out for several more weeks, or perhaps even months. But he is determined to pitch in the majors again.
"Right now, that's the last thing I'm worried about," he said. "It's been a crazy few weeks."

Some other tips for white teeth and overall good oral health:
- Remember coffee, blueberries, and wine will stain your pearly whites! :0
- Drink through a straw to avoid as harsh staining
- Always brush your tongue and lips to ensure good smelling breath and flake free lips!
- Visit your dentist 🙂
- Be kind to your teeth, they are sensitive and once you loose your enamel, it is gone forever. Trust me I know, I smashed my face on a jungle gym when a child and now my right front tooth in the picture above is fake!
- Don't brush right after eating a meal….Strangely enough this can cause cavities! If you eat something sugary the sugar can sit on your teeth then be ground in with a toothbrush. Wait at least an hour after eating, then brush you teeth, because the sugar will have been dissolved already.
- Mouth wash is a great way to kill extra bacteria and leave you with fresh breath
- Got painful wisdom teeth? I know how you feel I had all mine taken out at once. It is better to do so than not! If you have four molars pushing in to your mouth and can permanently push your teeth together and cause them to overlap, get crooked, and be deformed. Also can cause rotting! 😮
- Eating an apple can be a great way to floss your teeth!
- If you can't afford a tooth whitener, most are filled with peroxide. Yup! That's right, the stuff in a brown bottle from under neath your b room sink that burns your cuts! You can, and safely, wish this around your mouth and spit out for the same and inexpensive effect as Crest strips and tooth whitening gel!

Will Somone Think of The Namespaces? #
hacking, June 14th 2011
There is a single namespace for packages in Common Lisp.
There is also a single ASDF system namespace.
Please, make sure you use the same prefixes in both!
To pick a random bad example: system name cl-unification, package name unify. Do not do this.
Just pick one, please. It's getting crowded.

RADiUS-TWC acquired North American rights to the crowd-pleasing, critically-acclaimed documentary Twenty Feet From Stardom, at the Sundance Film Festival in January, where it is said to have received an overwhelming standing ovation during its world premiere there.
Here's the full synopsis again:
What would a pop song be without the riffs, refrains, and harmonies of its backup vocalists? Although these singers are usually relegated to the margins, and few, if any, become household names, their work has defined countless songs that remain in our hearts and collective consciousness. Twenty Feet from Stardom juxtaposes interviews with industry legends (Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, and others) and the relative unknowns who support them like Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, and Judith Hill as they illuminate the art of melding their own distinct voices with lead vocals and reveal their desires for careers as solo artists. Twenty Feet from Stardom traces the backup singers' history—from those Phil Spector–produced pop tunes and soul-inspired British Explosion acts of the 1960s, to their reversal of fortune when the recording industry changed in the 1990s, and into today.
The film, directed by Morgan Neville, promises an unprecedented look at the personal journeys of these normally un-celebrated, although indispensable artists, and pays tribute to their unforgettable role in popular music.
RADiUS will release the film theatrically, starting this Friday, June 14th, 2013.
The film was produced by Gil Friesen with director Neville's Tremolo Productions.
A brand new release trailer has surfaced, along with a poster – both embedded below:

UST Proforce V2 HMOI 70 Gram Wood Shaft:
UST's latest addition to the popular V2 line is the direct result of extensive testing with today's high MOI drivers. Stability is the name of the game and UST engineers improved shaft control by precisely positioning the balance point in a slightly higher location to offset the heavier weight required to narrow shot dispersion.
Though the static weight measures 70 grams, the V2 MOI shaft feels and plays more like 60 grams in the hands, creating a stable platform that allows the strongest players to aggressively swing through the ball without worrying about shaft lag or droop.
Like all premium UST Proforce V2 shafts, the HMOI features the tightest tour tolerances in the industry plus tour-proven Proforce tip technology.

"We're not cool."
So says Jayma Cardoso, the maitre d' hotel of the Surf Lodge, Montauk's magnet for the young and hip, although her clientele would likely take issue with Ms. Cardoso's self-evaluation.
After a year in the spotlight during a bruising court battle between the Town of East Hampton and the previous ownership of the club, Edgemere Montauk L.L.C., which finally ended on May 14 with the new owners Montauk Properties agreeing to pay the town a record-setting $100,000 fine, Ms. Cardoso now feels free to return the Lodge to the original vision she had for it when the club was first opened in 2008.
"The whole idea when we first opened the Surf Lodge," she said in a recent interview, was to have music and relaxed fun, but "no doorman, we wanted everybody to be able to come in."
And come they did, to enjoy the sunsets over Fort Pond, music on the deck, and the down-home funky beach ambiance Ms. Cardoso created.
In her eyes, though, the club fell victim to its own success, with people flocking to the Surf Lodge in ever-increasing numbers.
The growing crowds, particularly late at night, kindled local opposition to the summer hot spot, creating a chasm between the club and some residents of Montauk, a gulf Ms. Cardoso wants to bridge.
"We don't want to change the fact that everybody can come in, but we do want to limit the numbers," she said.
In order to do that, Ms. Cardoso is switching the restaurant side of the business to a reservation-preferred seating plan.
She points out an irony of the restaurant business that, at a certain point, more customers do not equal more money.
"It is not fun for the community. It is not fun for the guests," she said, adding, "We don't make more money."
When a restaurant is crowded, Ms. Cardoso said, service declines, and the check average per customer drops.
There are many other tweaks and changes in the works.
"I sympathize with some of the frustrations [of the neighbors]. I like to put myself in other people's shoes," she said.
"If I went out of my house to walk my dog, and I found a bottle of beer, I would be really angry. I'm the kind of person that would take that bottle to the Surf Lodge and say, 'Look, this is not cool.' "
To prevent such incidents, Ms. Cardoso has employees coming in at 7 a.m., to walk two miles in either direction from the club's location on Edgemere Street, picking up every cup and bottle they see, including items not sold at the Lodge.
"The best thing we can do as a business," she said, in order to get along with the community, "is to think of everything that could potentially be a hurdle."
To be clear, Montaukers should not expect a teetotaling somber soiree to replace the Lodge. "I definitely want to keep the concerts. I'm not going to sit here and tell you, we're going to stop everything, that we're going to be a sleepy venue."
"But now we're going to stop the live music at 9 p.m. In the past, we would shut the music in the back," the deck that faces out over the water, "between 11 and 12. Now we're going to shut that music at 10 p.m."
"Sound travels. Sometimes a laugh will get to the other side. Because the vibe inside will be more chilled," Ms. Cardoso said, the sounds outside should be a little less frenetic.
Ms. Cardoso is bringing in a new chef as well, Chris Randle, who is replacing original chef, Sam Talbot, a "Top Chef" finalist.
About Mr. Randle, Ms. Cardoso said, "He's an amazing chef who's going to embrace the local farmers we have" and, of course, the fresh-out-of-the-ocean fish.
"In the past years, we had become a place where you go to hear a band and to have a cocktail." Ms. Cardoso foresees a new emphasis on the dining experience.
"It'll be a place to have brunch in the afternoon, and segue into a beautiful dinner in the early evening."
One thing not changing is the laid-back atmosphere.
"No high heels," she said. "It's a place where you can come in your flip-flops and your sarong."
Another change that Surf Lodge habitues will find in 2012 is the timing of the last call for drinks. "We intend to shut down at 2 a.m. Last call will be at 1:45." In the past, the closing hour was 4 a.m. "My mother taught me, 'Nothing good happens after 2 a.m.' "
Ms. Cardoso was one of four children born to Marina and Jayr Cardoso, 35 years ago in the southern Brazilian city of Curitiba, near the South Atlantic. She was named after both her father (Jayr) and mother, (Marina), hence, Jayma.
Her parents were very religious people, and the family was close-knit. "That gave me and my sisters and brother a strong base, a strong core," she said.
The New York Times announced Ms. Cardoso's engagement to Scott Campbell, an investor, a couple of years ago. Ms. Cardoso was demure on the exact details of the coming marriage.
She first discovered Montauk when she was working as hostess at Rocco Ancarola's Boom Bistro in Bridgehampton 12 years ago, Ms. Cardoso said. At the end of a hectic nonstop weekend, she would go to East Deck Motel in Ditch Plain to recharge her batteries. "Montauk would be my refuge," she said.
The new ownership group, which is headed by the Internet entrepreneur Michael Walrath, a Montauk homeowner, is in it for the long haul, she said.
"We don't need to make that [investment] money this season. Maybe 20 years. Maybe 30."
"I want to run a business that is, foremost, responsible. That is manageable. We can manage the parking system. We can manage the front of the house. We can manage the guest experience. And it doesn't matter if I'm in Montauk, or if I'm in Nantucket, or if I'm in Brazil."
Besides the music, another aspect of the business that won't be changing is Ms. Cardoso's insistence that her customers do not get behind the wheel of a car if they've been drinking.
"I tell them, if you turn out of here, you're going to be arrested," she said. She stresses to her clientele, that while it may seem inconvenient to leave the car behind, that inconvenience is far outweighed by the life-changing experience of being arrested, or even worse, being in an accident while drunk.
"I watch them," she said about her clientele, as they prepare to exit. Even a slightly tipsy customer receives Ms. Cardoso's counsel.
She has set up a system with local Montauk cabs, as well as her own staff, to make sure her customers get home safely.
"Whatever it takes," she said.
Ms. Cardoso believes she has put a strong staff in place. "I now have 45 people who want to make the place work, no matter what."
She sees the changes made as a natural maturing process for the Surf Lodge, as newer nightspots become the "cool" flavor of the month, while the Surf Lodge mellows a bit.
And if the changes mean that the Lodge loses money?
"If it doesn't work, and we cannot pay our bills, then we cannot be in business."
"I'm confident my plan will work," she said with a smile.

Dear Ouidad:
I am 45-years-old and was blessed with naturally curly hair. All my life I have struggled with this thick, Italian, very curly hair and dreamed of having hair like Cher, or straight hair.
Finally, a year ago my stylist gave me a Simply Smooth Keratin Treatment which I loved and my life changed for the better. It lasted 9 months and I had another treatment ($200 a treatment) which was not as successful as my first. I had a mini treatment in between as instructed, but I am afraid my old hair has won the battle and I am, once again, battling this curly hair drama.
I don't want to spend money on another treatment, but my stylist told me she did the same thing as the first time and I need to use the Simply Smooth products.
My question to you is what can or should I do? Is there something I can purchase myself and treat my hair like the Simply Smooth? I am desperate for your sound advice.Dear Desperate in NY: I always advise my clients to avoid straightening treatments. Naturally curly hair is gorgeous and straightening seriously damages the hair. So my advice to you is to embrace your curls! Start doing a weekly deep treatment to repair the damage and replace lost proteins. Once your hair starts to become healthier you can cut back to every other week. Also, as you transition, try visiting a stylist who has experience and training in cutting curly hair.

We all have copies of wills that "give devise and bequeath all my real and personal property of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate unto ....." But what items make up the personal property ?These are the interesting aspects of wills.
Over the years the wills I've collected highlight many differences between families. In many, the proceeds are given to the spouse and later shared equally among all children. In others, some children are given significantly smaller proportions. Did they upset someone in the family? Perhaps they had been given a helping hand earlier in life. Who knows now? In some families there was absolutely no doubt about who was going to get what.
So what has been specifically willed in my extended families?
- Jacob Scheef left his working horses, working bullocks, farming implements and machinery to all his sons (except my husband's grandfather)
- Christina Scheef left her buggy and harness to her daughter Johanna Rosina Scheef
- Henry William Seabrook left his book stand and portraits of myself and wife to his beloved daughter Sarah Caroline Reid
- His carpenter's tools and chest were left to his son Daniel
- Winifred Burleigh specified several items in her will including: shares, a ruby brooch , signet ring, silky oak bedroom suite, small wardrobe and chest of drawers and gold watch
- Money was left by one family member to the Masonic Centenary Medical Research Foundation
- Knox Moore left his draught horses to his son Knox
- Peter Laurie Reid left money for the maintenance, advancement and benefit of his grandchildren
- He also left his books, portraits, pictures, ornaments, jewellery, china and plated ware to his wife Sarah Caroline
Reading these now has made me think about my own will. I'm afraid it's one of those boring ones. Perhaps I need to make it more interesting!

The silk industry captured the imagination of Massachusetts farmers, businessmen and mill owners in the 1830s. The Florence Knitting Mills were established in 1838 in the Massachusetts towns of Florence and Leeds; a Boston salesroom was established on Summer Street in that city. This booklet praises the virtues of Corticelli silk and traces the entire process in illustrated fashion- the moth laying eggs, the chrysalis, the cocoons. It pictures the frame constructed on which the worms spun the silk. The finished product was then offered to the public in 'hanks': coiled or looped bundles of definite yardage.

Go figure. Anyway, I've gotten three of these in the last few weeks. This one is representative. My answer is perhaps not as patient and full an explanation as I could have given. But why would a person convinced I was a tool of the Devil believe my answers anyway? Have other Masons on the web received these letters, too? Let me know.

The Thanksgiving Front Door
A gorgeous front door to welcome guests on Thanksgiving. I love the square orange wreath suspended from a ribbon that hangs from the door knocker. Such a clever idea. In my mind's eye I see out of our sight a pair of blue and white Chinese planters flanking the door and a Greek key door mat.

Her face was avant-garde
Christian Lorentzen
- The Angel Esmeralda: Nine Stories by Don DeLillo
Picador, 211 pp, £16.99, November 2011, ISBN 978 1 4472 0757 3
In its winter issue of 1960, Epoch, a quarterly published at Cornell, carried 'The River Jordan', a story by 'Donald R. DeLillo'. It tells of a day in the life of Emil Burke, a mad Manhattan septuagenarian who leads a storefront chapel called the Psychic Church of the Crucified Christ, with a congregation of four. In the morning he descends to the Times Square subway station and writes 'REPENT!' on the wall of the men's lavatory with a crayon. Around noon, he preaches to a crowd outside the Hotel Metropole and is mocked by a 'Negro boy' who compares the Trinity to 'Purity, Body and Flavor', the advertising slogan for Ballantine beer. Burke retreats with his followers to a bar, where he overhears a young couple talking about sex and is presented with a book of pornography. Finally, in the midst of all this sin, Mr McAndrew, the man who pays the church's rent, tells Burke he's going to take his money to the church of 'the One True Voodoo of Astral Consciousness' in Harlem. Mr McAndrew is a 'fat and sinister' former real estate agent, and a crank. 'The River Jordan,' he tells Burke, 'is a parking space, a movie with much shooting of guns and much grinding of thighs, and a bag of popcorn, buttered.' The preacher punches him in the mouth.
This is the energetic work of a 24-year-old, but it displays preoccupations that still linger in DeLillo's work. 'Martyrdom is a weapon,' Burke thinks, prefiguring many fanatics to come. At the bar he sees a girl whose 'face was avant-garde, expressionless, saved from complete monotony by two thin streaks of deep coral lipstick'; this would seem to be a reference to Godard (Breathless came out that year), a touchstone of DeLillo's. And the notion of a cinema as a church, delivered cynically here, would become for many of his characters, some of them filmmakers, an article of faith. But there's no denying that the story is apprentice work, with more than a few clumsy lines: 'a train screeched around a curve and charged into the station; the door slid open and people squirted onto the platform as though ejected from a tube of toothpaste.' There is the young man's strained attempt to imagine what it's like to be old: 'a thought was no longer an image – a dark and deafening cavern of trains, a pool of sunlight spilling through the church window, a garland of garish faces on a dark street corner – but rather a concept, a vague abstraction of duty, instruction, salvation.' And the story dwells for pages on Burke's Jesus complex, juxtaposing it repeatedly with vulgar scenes from the street. Consumerism seems to be, and would prove to be, the stuff that actually interests DeLillo, who was working at the time as a copywriter for the midtown advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather, the sort of office Mad Men now attempts to dramatise.
Eleven years later, DeLillo published Americana, a book that begins with a Manhattan cocktail party ('it was one of those parties which are so boring that boredom itself soon becomes the main topic of conversation'), sends up 1950s family life and 1960s corporate culture, turns into a road novel midway and ends with a sloppy orgy in the Texas desert. The ever ironical narrator, David Bell, is fond of making statements like 'I was an extremely handsome young man,' and worships at the altar of Burt Lancaster: 'Burt in the moonlight was a crescendo of male perfection but no less human because of it.' 'I don't think my first novel would have been published as I submitted it today,' DeLillo told an interviewer in 2010. 'It was very overdone and shaggy.' He has expressed similar dissatisfaction with his novels of the 1970s: 'I knew I wasn't doing utterly serious work.' That may be why his new collection begins in 1979, omitting as much of his published short fiction as it includes.
