New Fenway Tower Would Not Include New Parking Spaces
Photo Credit: Boston Globe
According to the Boston Courant, a proposed Fenway residential tower would add 320 apartments, but no parking spaces. The company developing the parcel, Samuels & Associates, owns Trilogy at 180 Brookline Ave. Trilogy reportedly contains sufficient parking to quell the demand that the new building would bring.
The proposed high rise, known as the "The Point," would be located at the corner of Brookline Avenue and Boylston Street. The 22-story tower's proposed unit mix consists of studio, one, two, and three bedroom rentals. The ground level would also be home to 33,000 square feet of retail space.
Residents of the neighborhood have expressed concern that more parking spaces would increase the area's air pollution and traffic congestion. Many were happy to learn that The Point would not include new parking spaces.
However, Fenway is a rapidly changing area and whether residents approve or not, there are new parking spaces being added. Children's Hospital has plans for a 525-space parking garage near Kenmore Square. The proposed five-building mixed-use Fenway Center development would also include 1,290 new spaces.
The Point isn't the only thing Samuels & Associates is building in Fenway. The company is also responsible for the 1325 Fenway Triangle project (also know as Boylston West), located at 1325 Boylston Street, between Yawkey Way and Kilmarnock Street. Like the Point, the 700,000 SF Fenway Triangle project goes beyond residential, and will include office, retail, restaurants, and a Target store.

Converse to Kick It At New Boston Headquarters
Iconic shoemaker Converse has chosen Boston for its new world headquarters. The company, currently located in North Andover, will lease 187,000 square feet of office space in Lovejoy Wharf.
Located on Boston Harbor, near the Zakim Bridge, Lovejoy Wharf currently houses two dilapidated buildings and a neglected pier. The Beal Companies and The Related Companies plan to transform the site into a new office and residential development.

Commercial Real Estate Market Update
Last month's "Commercial Real Estate Market Update" event at the Needham Sheraton was a tremendous success with a high turnout of local business owners. For those that were unable to attend, the following is a brief recap of the presentation comparing Q4 2011 to three years prior.
2008 was arguably the peak of the commercial real estate market in Newton and Needham. Vacancy rates were low at 7.8% while the average office rental rate was in the mid-to-high $20's per square foot. Fast forward to Q4 2011 when the vacancy rate spiked to 12.9% and rental rates were off by roughly 15%. Additionally, there was a strong decline in both the number of transactions completed and average deal size. Q4 2008 experienced thirty-one transactions averaging 3,079 sf compared to only twenty transactions with a 2,600 sf average in Q4 2011.
Although the 2011 statistics are rather dismal compared to those of 2008, the market is certainly showing signs of improvement. From mid-2009 to early 2011, the market experienced a low volume of office space tours as most tenants opted to sign 1-3 year renewals rather than relocating. This shift towards renewels was driven mainly by economic uncertainty, as businesses focused on merely staying above water instead of risking the distraction and expense of a potential move.
Since mid-2011, however, we have seen a strong increase in the number of companies looking to relocate. Many of these tenants, who are feeling more bullish and confident in their business, are signing longer term leases (4-5 years) in order to lock in the currently deflated rental rates. Due to these deflated rents, a significant proportion of those relocating are focused on upgrading to higher quality buildings than their current properties.
Essentially, tenants are paying less rent than they signed on for 3-4 years ago and receiving a better quality product for their dollar.

Boston Realty Advisors Featured For Two Notable Listings
Boston Realty Advisors (BRA) was featured in the July 15th, 2011 issue of The Real Reporter because they are currently handling two exciting listings in Back Bay that will prove to be great rehabilitation projects.
493-497 Commonwealth Avenue
Formerly the JS Waterman Funeral Home, BRA's listing at 493-497 Commonwealth Avenue has been out of use for several years, and is finally going to be brought back to life. It is a 19,500 building currently in "shell condition." This makes the building a blank canvas. It may possibly become a residential space, but the central location could make for great offices or other forms of commercial space. The building is right on the edge of Kenmore square, which is a great area and will soon benefit from major improvements to Boston's Green Line. Boston Realty Advisors has not announced any definite details of a deal, but whatever happens, Kenmore square will soon have a new great space.
463 Beacon Street
Just a few blocks away, this beautiful building is currently a 20-room lodging house offering nightly and weekly rates. This property may stay as is, but according to BRA founder Jason Weissman, it is possible that the space may work as a single household. He also told The Real Reporter that converting the space to condominiums could be a viable and possibly more valuable solution. The building has 2,400 square feet of frontage on Beacon street, easy access to Massachusetts Avenue and a slew of prestigious Universities, and six parking spaces in the rear.

1 Kenmore is coming to Life! John's vision will become reality
Top 100:
Meredith Management's John Rosenthal is preparing to start construction on the first piece of Fenway Center, a $450M, 1.3M SF project that includes a new commuter rail stop, residences, retail, offices, and parking adjacent to Fenway Park. He's partnering with Sox owners on what will be one of the most ambitious projects to get started since the economic meltdown.
John, with Monika Butkiewicz and his wife Maureen Berkley, director of property management, look over a model and rendering of Fenway Center. It will have 1300 parking spaces, 330 residences, 370k SF of offices, 100k SF of retail, 30K SF of park and green space, bike storage, a day care center, and community space. "We are fully permitted and shovel ready," he says. In this credit constrained economy, John has been securing debt financing from city, state and federal sources (including stimulus funds).
John also has a one-of-a-kind office in a converted 1700's mill and some top office personnel who walk on four legs. We snapped him with Jon Hickok and Laura Hyer, with advisors Wiley and Tazzie. John has always brought a dog to work, so when Laura came on board to run STOP Handgun Violence (an advocacy group John started), Tazzie was part of the package. As a gun owning skeet shooter, John started SHV in '95 with the late Michael Kennedy (son of RFK). After Michael's death, Vickie (wife of the late Ted Kennedy) asked to take his place. John says Mass. has the most comprehensive gun violence protection and the fewest gun fatalities after Hawaii.
John (center) and his in-house counsel Jerry Belair (on his left) met last week with a URS team seeking to manage construction for Fenway Center. Work on the $12M MBTA commuter rail stop is slated to start this fall. We snapped Thalia Schlesinger, Scott Bini, and standing Steve Moore, David Tremblay, Chris Watson, and Mathew King. The Architectural Team, and Carlos Zapata Studio, the design architects, are preparing construction drawings. Suffolk Construction is the design/build GC, while J.F. White is the civil contractor. John plans to get a guaranteed construction price for Phase I this summer. Including all the planning on the mixed-use project, he says "It took seven years to get into the batter's box."
Jerry is Meredith's point man for solar energy projects. Here they're holding pics of solar arrays installed in December atop Meredith's HQ and some of its other properties: an office building in Springfield and rental apartments in Clinton and Ware. The Fenway Center MBTA station and garage will also have solar arrays enabling them to produce more energy than they use. John has championed solar power since the '70s, when he also campaigned against nuclear power, an effort he continued on Saturday with an anti-nuke editorial in The Boston Globe.

High Rise Office Rents
Where will the prices end up at some of the best office addresses in the Class "A" market?
Hub's Historic High-Rises In 'Fight To The Finish'
Prime Addresses Pitted Against Upstarts
The overall vacancy rate for the Boston office market hovers around 13.5 percent, Colliers Meredith & Grew reports. But some of our best-known skyscrapers, like the Hancock, are struggling to fill much larger blocks of space, a trend likely to have a profound impact on the city's economy for years to come.
With so much top shelf office space available, why would a major law firm or financial company take a chance on what could very well turn out to be a developer's pipedream? Indeed, for companies that have long dreamed of setting up shop in one of the city's elite towers, this is the time to make a move to an established property.
Developers hoping to start construction on a range of new skyscrapers, from the ill-fated Filene's project to a pair of new towers next to the Rose Kennedy Greenway, can kiss these grandiose plans goodbye for the foreseeable future.
"It is going to be a tough sell for some of them, it really is," said Vivien Li, head of the Boston Harbor Association and an astute office market observer, of developers pushing plans for yet-to-be-built towers.
Instead, in the midst of one of the worst downturns in generations, we have a fight to the finish between some of Boston's best-established corporate addresses, like the Hancock, and a pair of relatively new upstarts on the city's waterfront.
Established, Vacant
On the surface, the vacancy rate for downtown towers, at 13.3 percent, would appear to be closely tracking that of the overall market, if not a little below, according to Colliers Meredith & Grew.
But look more closely and you see some big blocks at some very well known addresses.
For starters, there's the Hancock Tower, which, after being sold at a foreclosure auction last year, sports a vacancy rate that now hovers in the low 20s. Along with the 60th floor, there's space available on the 20th, 21st and 22nd floors, as well as the 19th and 10th floors.
Just down the street, the vacancy rate at 500 Boylston St. puts the Hancock to shame. Nearly half the 1980s tower is available, including a huge, 150,000-square-foot block of space being sublet by publisher Houghton Mifflin.
Over in the Financial District, prominent towers also have gaping holes to fill.
There's 200,000 square feet of empty offices over at 100 Federal St., where Bank of America has its regional operations. A couple hundred thousand square feet is also available at both 99 and 100 High St.
And if Don Chiofaro's International Place towers seem to be doing a little better than most right now, sporting a 14.2 percent vacancy rate at One International Place, just wait a few months. Ropes & Gray is slated to vacate 350,000 square feet in the tower, moving over to the top floors of the Prudential building.
And as if the competition for tenants weren't already fierce enough, two upstart high-rises on Boston's waterfront are now entering the fray.
New Kids On The Block
Waterfront builder Joe Fallon is rolling out the first high-rise at the long-delayed Fan Pier project, with anchor law firm Fish & Richardson committed to 124,000 square feet. Not bad in a down market.
But that leaves another 376,000 square feet of space to fill in the 18-story building at One Marina Park Drive.
For its part, Boston Properties has managed to get the new Russia Wharf tower financed and built amid the worst downturn in generations.
But even after a lease to anchor tenant Wellington Management that will fill more than half the new tower, our vaunted hometown real estate giant still has another 300,000 square feet to rent.
Fan Pier and Russia Wharf bring to the market a pair of ultra modern high-rises in a city where most of the skyline is decades old. There's the additional attraction of breathtaking harbor views, and, in the case of Fan Pier, plans for a new neighborhood of shops, restaurants and homes.
But there's a price to be paid for new construction as well, a cost that may be hard for some firms to justify right now. Towers that are already established are going to have more price flexibility than a brand new tower with an expensive debt load to service and even more space to fill.
Say Hello To 2020
So where does that leave all those developers still hoping to make a big mark on the city's skyline?
Well, to be blunt, it leaves them looking at a construction launch of 2020 – if that.
Tough times have never deterred Chiofaro, who opened up his twin tower International Place complex amid the brutal real estate downturn of the early 1990s.
But it's not clear where Chiofaro will find the tenants to fill the new pair of twin towers he would like to a build a few blocks away on the site of the current Harbor Garage, overlooking the Greenway. And he will soon be scrambling to fill a huge hole in One International Place after Ropes and Gray waltzes away this year.
And what of poor John Hynes and his beleaguered drive to salvage the Filene's fiasco and fill in the block he gutted in Downtown Crossing with a new tower?
All that needs to be said is that Fish & Richardson was once slated to go into his Filene's tower, but is now headed for Fan Pier.
No, there is simply too much space to fill – and top shelf space at that – for any towers still sitting on the drawing boards to have a fighting chance right now.
"Who is going to go into these offices and all these fancy condos they are talking about?" Li asks. "Where is the absorption going to come from?"
But the emerging duel between establish, marquee addresses and new, chic upstarts will be interesting. Let the office market wars begin!
The year ahead is looking brighter for tenants looking for office space in Greater Boston
Let's go shopping for for new office space. Accordning the the B & T, it is a great time to be a tenat in the marketplace. Don't be caught standing on the sidelines.
"The year ahead is looking brighter for tenants looking for office space in Greater Boston, according to new report.
Boston's total office vacancy rose to 17.4 percent in 2009 from 13.9 percent a year ago, according to Jones Lang LaSalle's recent analysis. Occupancy declined steadily in the Cambridge office market through the first half of 2009, ending the year with 534,423 square feet of negative net absorption. For the year, the suburban office market recorded 1.3 million square feet of negative absorption.
The only submarket to record occupancy gains for the year was the Northwest submarket. A recovery in the Boston Suburban market will lag Downtown Boston and Cambridge, JLL predicted.
Greater Boston recorded 3.7 million square feet of negative net absorption in 2009. The second half of the year showed the first signs of the recession easing its grip on the global economy, and the rate of decline eased, according to a report.
"A return to economic growth and an eventual recovery in the job market will slowly work to stabilize the office market, but conditions will remain tenant favorable throughout 2010," the report found."
Where are office rents today and how much lower will they go?
Boston's central business district has earned the unfortunate distinction as the most deflated rental market in all of the Americas1. Combine that with a lackluster economic recovery characterized by problematic job growth will hamper the pace of any real estate market resurgence, which probably cannot gain much traction until late 2011 or 20122.
What does this mean for you and how do you capitalize on it? Landlords are working extremely hard to preserve market rents on renewals and new leases. Yes, those numbers have come down significantly, but more so then that, tenant improvement allowance (T/I) and rental concessions are two buckets that deserve far more play. When one thinks about cost of space PSF, it should be that of net effective basis. Meaning the asking price less the free rent, example a 60 month lease @ $35.00 PSF with 6 months free is $32.50. Rent abatement was not an available option for tenants 24 months ago, now it has become main stream. The amount depends on the financial viability of the tenant to perform as well the landlord's competitiveness in the marketplace.
Tenant improvement allowance in the recent past never moved above 50% of the first years rent on a standard lease term. Now, we are seeing that number grow from 65% to 110% of the first years rent. In many cases in times past tenants would have to pay to move into their new space. Nowadays tenants are getting the benefit of turnkey deals, thus no out of pocket expense.
Why hire a broker if I plan to renew my lease? My landlord and I have a workable relationship. Your landlord profits by getting the highest rent possible from you. Until your broker creates competition with your landlord, you're a captive Tenant exposed to paying above market.
The call to action is to seek out professional advice to assist you in these tumultuous times. To learn more about how the Boston Realty Advisors commercial leasing team can help your business, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The Tom Tom Club
Tom Colicchio transforms Craftsteak into Colicchio & Sons, serving the sophisticated, contemporary American dishes he pioneered at Gramercy Tavern. The more casual front Tap Room serves meats and vegetables roasted in the wood-burning oven.
Getting Tipsy
Tipsy Parson has all the Southern gentility a neighborhood could hope for. Shelves are full of mementos (lucky horseshoe, vintage typewriter), bar snacks are plentiful (cheese curds, pickled shrimp, hush puppies), and a slushie machine churns out Concord grape juleps.

Cup o' Joy
At Joe the Art of Coffee, meticulously trained baristas who take their roast, grind, and foam very seriously give coffee the sort of care usually reserved for wine, cheese, and chocolate. No wonder the cafe inspires such cultish devotion.
Pop Tarts
Pretty little sweets shop Three Tarts stocks sugary delights wrapped and ready for giving: petits fours and cookies in ceramic bowls, parfaits in glasses, pots de crème in tiny espresso cups with saucers. Or consider the hatboxes of rosebud china, handmade marshmallows, and artisanal honey in tall glass bottles.

Heel Pain Heel pain is usually caused by rolling over of the foot (Excess Pronation). As the foot pronates, the arch collapses and the muscles (plantar fascia) and supporting structure are forced to stretch and elongate. By supporting the arches and re-aligning the lower limb to its natural angle, orthotics reduces the traction and strain on the plantar fascia, taking away this common cause of heel pain. Ball of Foot Pain This condition commonly occurs with women, however many men suffer from pain in the ball of the foot. Sometimes a callous develops in the centre of the foot and footwear may wear out in a similar fashion. It causes a burning sensation in the ball of the foot and can become very painful. Orthotics align the central three metatarsal shafts using an inbuilt met raise to correctly position and maintain the Metatarsal bone position. By balancing the weight distribution over five metatarsal bones, this helps remove excess weight & friction which commonly causes the callous and burning sensation. Morton's Neuroma This condition is generally caused by entrapment of the interdigital nerve lying between the third and fourth metatarsal bones. Ball of Foot Pain (Morton's Neuroma) exhibits similar symptoms to Metatarsalgia, but may also cause numbness, tingling and discoloration of the third and fourth (lesser) toes. Orthotics greatly assist in the early stages of Morton's Neuroma when damage to the nerve sheath is minimal. Orthotics re-align the metatarsal shafts and prevents interdigital nerve jamming. Flat Feet/Fallen Arches A true flat foot is rare. Generally, a flat footed person is only suffering from a functional flat foot caused by excess pronation. Excess Pronation causes the foot's arch to collapse & elongate giving the appearance of a flat foot. A functional flat foot is quite common and generally exhibits symptoms ranging from sore/tired feet to general leg fatigue and body aches. Orthotics are designed to control excess pronation (the common cause of functional flat feet), thereby restoring the foot's arch to normal. Bunions Bunions are a bony lump that gradually develop on the big toe joint over many years. Bunions can sometimes be very painful and at other times exhibit no pain at all. The common cause of this condition is a combination of genetic factors and poor foot function. Orthotics control excess pronation, which is a common factor causing Bunions. Orthotics redistribute the weight evenly over the foot to prevent (or reduce) the gradual growth of a bunion. Orthotics are very successful in reducing symptoms with painful Bunion conditions. Achilles Pain Achilles Tendonitis commonly occurs from shearing and stretching (tractional) forces placed on the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel. Excess Pronation causes the heel bone to tilt excessively and places extra strain on the tendon. Inflammation of the tendon is a common result along with tightening of the calf muscles.
Orthotics align the heel bone and significantly reduces the shearing and stretching forces on the Achilles Tendon, thereby providing relief from Achilles Pain. Callous and Corns Callous and Corns develop from excess friction and rubbing on the foot. Corns normally develop on the upper joints of the toes, whilst callous generally develops under the sole of the foot (especially under the big toe/little toe joint and central ball of the foot). Corns and callous commonly develop when excess pronation disrupts the normal metatarsal bone relationship in the foot and this causes the toes to claw. Friction & rubbing from your footwear then causes corns and callous to develop on the tops of your toes and/or the bottom of your feet. Orthotics control excess pronation and prevents dropping of the metatarsal bones and furthermore clawing of the toes. Thereby removing this friction and rubbing which causes corns and callous.
Tired/aching legs are commonly caused by strain and traction on the calf muscles at the back of the legs. This occurs when the feet roll over and the legs rotate internally. In turn, this places stress on the leg muscles.
Orthotics control 'excess pronation' - decreasing internal rotation of the leg and traction on the calf muscles, thereby taking away this common cause of tired/aching legs.
Rolling over of the feet - excess pronation - causes the lower leg to rotate internally. As a result, the pelvis is forced to tilt forward, which can cause an increased curvature of the lower back. This is referred to as 'poor body posture'. Especially after standing up-right for longer periods the curvature in back will cause tightness and stiffness of the lower back muscles.
By controlling 'excess pronation' of the feet, orthotics help improve your body posture. Because the feet are now properly aligned, internal rotation of the legs and forward pelvic tilt are greatly reduced, thereby easing low back pain.
A common condition in athletes caused by abnormal friction & rubbing of the Ilio-tibial band muscle over the knee & hip joints. This condition commonly exhibits a gradual but rather severe pain on the outside knee joint and less commonly on the outside hip section. Sometimes, simply walking up or down stairs may aggravate this condition. The pain usually subsides immediately upon rest but re-occurs with activity.
Orthotics control the internal rotation of the shin bone (tibia) and furthermore the rotation on the knee & hip joint via the in-built 4 degree rearfoot varus wedge. Thereby, reducing stretching (tractional) and frictional forces on the Ilio-tibial band muscle. Stretching of the Ilio-tibial band muscle is advised.

I live in Orthaheels
Par Lambcee
de Victoria BC
I have problems with my heels and without these shoes and sandals I would be crippled. I wear a pair everyday, either the shoes or a pair of sandals in the house for slippers.They are the "BEST"

Par Quatchi & Mukmuk
de Vancouver, BC
I love Orthaheel shoes!!!!! Overall, comfy and no break-in time at all. Only thing is that they rubbed my heals raw when I first wore the shoes so I have to put a heal insert and problem solved! I normally wear 8.5M and I ordered size 8, fit perfectly!
Great Shoe
Par KAREN
de MISSISSAUGA
This shoe is so comfortable and lightweight. I love this brand. I have several shoes & sandels.
Comfort, comfort, comfort
Par Dani
de Vancouver Island, BC
These shoes are so comfortable. This is my 5th pair of Orthoheel shoes and I don't think I could survive without them.
Still an awesome shoe-take II
Par Sam
I purchased the black (with patent toe), brown and purple Mary James last season and I was so happy to see their revised version of the same shoe this season to be offered in blue! This series of shoes are my favorite and I wear them every day... Purchased the new blue and another black pair-this time without the patent front guard! As they indicate very true to size, added benefit is this line comes in half sizes too. I like the new breathable material that was used in making the body of these shoes also.I wear Dr. Weil's shoes or orthotic inserts all the time now and it has made such a great difference in my walking stamina and back pain levels are reduced. It is so nice to be able to purchase orthotic shoes that do not look like they are my grandmothers AND not have to carry my orthotic inserts around when trying to find regular shoes to fit them!
I love Orthaheel
Par Nancy
de Newcastle(Ontario)
Orthaheel is wonderful. I now don't want to wear anything else. This shoe has great support and comfort as well as fitting securely to your foot.
Very comfortable shoes!
Par NANCY
de EAST YORK
These shoes have made a very big difference to my quality of life! That is high praise for a pair of shoes, I know. I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and these shoes have actually eliminated the pain when I wear them and for a considerable time after I wear them. I will be getting additional pairs of Orthaheel shoes so I can be pain-free all the time. I also need the slippers which have not been available for sometime...please bring them back!These shoes are comfortable, cute and worth every penny.
Most comfortable shoe I have ever worn
Par Nanny
de Dartmouth, N.S.
wear them all the time. They feel just like an old glove. feel like I have worn them for ages.The only thing I didn't like was after I worn them a couple of days, they squeaked when I walked so I sent them back and requested another pair and they seem fine so far.

Great Fall Shoe
Par Snowflake
de Toronto
These Mary Janes are my favourite Orthaheel shoes. I bought two pairs last year and I got another pair this fall. Since I have a narrow to medium foot and these shoes come in half sizes, I find them to be a perfect fit. They are really cute, neat looking and comfortable. I enjoy wearing them. I recommend them if you need a half size or a narrower fit. They do work well for me. I will probably buy another pair in a spring colour.
Great shoe but go up a size
Par krane animal lover
de Ontario
I love these shoes but if you are a half size, go up to the next size not down as suggested. Also, I have a wide foot and the strap could be a little longer. It works but only just. I may take them to a shoe repair and have a wide elastic band sewn on instead of the velcro and strap. I would recommend them to anyone with foot issues and will order again from this company.

A 25-year-old New York man was arrested Friday after he told police that he killed his grandmother following a debate over what to watch on TV.
Clarence Newcomb, 25, called 911 at 4:35 a.m. Friday. Arriving at the home in Kings Park, on Long Island, where the two have lived for years, police found 82-year-old Kathleen Newcomb lying dead in the living room.
Clarence Newcomb told police that he physically assaulted her and did not use a weapon.
He has lived with his grandmother since he was 3, according to a police spokesman. There was no history of domestic violence, the spokesman said.
As for the shows that sparked the argument, police don't know.

I wish I had this product in my house right now, especially in the last two weeks. The hacking coughs have almost subsided (thank god!). It's been a long road. There is something quite disturbing when your sweet little baby hacks like a two pack a day, asthmatic, 80 year old man. Just down right troubling. When I am in that underwater deep sleep, their coughs pull me to the surface, hack by hack. I keep thinking, in and out of sleep waves, "I should get up and do something. Get water. Pull covers up. Something!"
Hence this natural chest rub. I don't know about you, but I have the smell of Vicks burned into my nose. I think my cilia have a memory of that powerful, spearmint, anesthetic, lung clearing smell. I know now that it is probably all phthalates and petroleum, but the heart burns strong for the items of youth (no matter how damn toxic).
So, this natural chest rub from LuSa Organics looks lovely. It's made with the following natural and organic Ingredients:
*Olive oil, castor oil, local beeswax;
*essential oils of eucalyptus,
*lavender, tea tree, and camphor;
*and tocopherol (vitamin e). (certified organic ingredient) Read more...

Hailing from northern France, Marine Deleeuw was 18 when she first strutted down the catwalk during New York Fashion Week last September. As the Big Apple prepares for the next round of shows in February, we look at the fast-paced life of a top fashion model.

It is irresponsible and right out stupid to promote this image of anorexia . If this is the icon of success, then we are lost. Time should know better. Any family who have faced the problems of anorexia must voice their disgust!
How many 18 year old girls make $1000+ per day without having to offer sexual services ? There is always a price you have to pay. My pity is limited at least to say.
She sure is French, alright. The picture of her squatting outside with the cigarette and coffee cup is great.
Her legs seem to be meaty enough for a healthy and regular high fashion model, but her decolletage is just painful to see... her collar bones can not be more pronounced, but at least her face is just too cool for school, one of the best newcomers for sure... I just hope she's healthy.

"Oh, Severus. Dont you ever learn?) (Eyes are the window to the soul.)" This bit was heart-breaking! The whole thing was flawlessly written and heart-wrenching! Report Review
I have to say, this is pretty amazing. It almost (but not quite) makes up for the fact that you haven't updated anything in months, but I really think you need to get on that (namely breathless). But anyway, I really like this one, especially how you took liberties that I feel like JK Rowling would have allowed in her plot. Also, I like how you did something that wasn't just funny like all your other stuff is. Report Review
Oh my goodness. You, yet again, have struck with another amazing story. You have such a way with words it's truly incredible. This story is so good. I'm glad you did one for our dear friend Snape, I feel like he never gets enough and his life was so tragic. Thank you for writing this, it was incredible. Keep up the good work. ~Mischief_managed18 Report Review

text: The Winona County Planning Commission on Thursday night voted to recommend an application for a new frac sand mine near Saratoga Township southeast of St. Charles. The public hearing included several county residents both for and against the mine. Bruno Borsari said the frac sand industry is not a good fit in the Winona area because of environmental issues of water, air and soil. Board Chair Robert Patterson says there are 3 dozen general conditions on the mining project, including setbacks, dust control and hours of business. According to the application, the mine would be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. five days a week, though trucking would only take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The 20 acre site is owned by David and Sherry Nisbit. In other business, the commission voted to recommend to the full board that Winona County serve as the responsible government unit in directing an environmental assessment worksheet for the proposed rail loading site in St. Charles Township.

Chariots of Brussels? The EU is dreaming of Olympics glory
Are there no depths to which EU officials will stoop in their relentless drive for 'ever-closer union'? The Delegation of the European Union to the United States has come up with a ludicrous online pamphlet entitled Europe: The Cradle of the Olympic Movement. According to the EU's Washington office, the Olympic Games are returning "to their European homeland," i.e. London:
Europe is the birthplace of the Olympics – both ancient and modern – and in 2012, the summer Olympic Games return once again to their European homeland. From July 27 to August 12, London will host the games of the XXX Olympiad. 2012 marks the third time that London has hosted the modern Summer Olympics: they were first held there in 1908, and again 40 years later (1948). London 2012 will be the 24th time that cities in one of today's 27 EU Member States have hosted the Summer or Winter Olympic Games.
The EU Delegation goes on to extol Europe as "a sporting powerhouse," with sport playing a vital role in advancing EU integration:
Many of today's best-known sports actually originated in Europe… Europe is the cradle of the ancient Olympics as well as the modern-day Olympic movement, which—in addition to being one of sports' most inspiring and entertaining spectacles— uses athletics as an opportunity to promote peace and understanding among nations and cultures alongside the education of young people.
In addition to playing an outsize role in both modern-day recreation and Europe's historical context, athletics fulfill important societal needs within the EU, in terms of public health, inclusion and integration, and economic development. Sports support important values such as team spirit, solidarity, tolerance and fair play, and promote the active contribution of EU citizens to society.
The pamphlet concludes by asking "how many medals would the EU win if it competed in the Olympics as one team?" declaring that "if athletes from the 27 nations of the EU had been considered part of the same team in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the EU team would have dominated the competition," with 31 Golds and 108 medals in total.
Of course this is not the first time that Brussels has attempted to wrap the Olympics in the EU flag. In 2004 European Commission president Roman Prodi hailed European countries' collective haul of 82 Olympic gold medals as a triumph for the whole of the EU. In 2008, following the Beijing Olympics, the then rotating chairman of the European Union, Nicolas Sarkozy, boasted of the EU taking "the leading position. It's a victory for the fundamental and common values of the people of the union."
In 2012 the European Commission has taken matters even further by putting out propaganda before the Games have actually begun. The phrase "delusions of grandeur" immediately springs to mind, as EU bureaucrats embark on their latest round of Brussels tub-thumping against a background of a collapsing Eurozone and a crashing European Project.
The Olympics have always been a celebration of individual achievement, team effort and the nation state, rather than supranationalism, and the London Games will be no different. British, German, French, Italian and Spanish medal winners will be standing in front of their national flags, listening to their national anthems, and basking in the adulation of their own countrymen watching in the millions on television. Thank God that British athletes will be competing for Queen and Country, and not for a meaningless EU cause. Van Rompuy, Barroso and their unelected cohorts can dream of Empire, but as the Olympics will show, national identity in Europe can never be submerged.

Chasing Lolita: How Popular Culture Corrupted Nabokov's Little Girl All Over Again
In the summer of 1958, a twelve-year-old girl took the world by storm? Lolita was published in the United States. This child, so fresh and alive, yet so pitiable in her abuse at the hands of the novel's narrator, engendered outrage and sympathy alike, and has continued to do so ever since. Yet Lolita's image in the broader public consciousness has changed. No longer a little girl, Lolita has come to signify a precocious temptress, a cunning underage vixen who'll stop at nothing to get her man. How could this have happened? Chasing Lolita, published on the fiftieth anniversary of Lolita's American publication, is an essential contemporary companion to Vladimir Nabokov's great novel. It establishes who Lolita really was back in 1958, explores her predecessors of all stripes, and examines the multitude of movies, theatrical shows, literary spin-offs, artifacts, fashion, art, photography, and tabloid excesses that have distorted her identity and stolen her name. It considers not just the "Lolita effect" but shifting attitudes toward the always volatile mix of sex, children, and popular entertainment?from Victorian times to the present. And it also looks at some real-life cases of young girls who became the innocent victims of someone else?s obsession?unhappy sisters to one of the most affecting heroines in American fiction, and one of the most widely misunderstood.. Price: $20.24

Seeking the simple life, time to begin.
So, I'm giving another shot to this whole blog process for a number of reasons. First off, I want to be a better writer. You write in college and in school, and your writing gets judged, edited, you move forward. I've always been in advanced writing classes, but I feel like my creative writing has never been pushed and satisfied. My Dad wouldn't say this, but somehow being categorized as smart and funny as a kid (my brother was the artistic and sporty one) kind of kept me focused on those two aspects of myself.

Drama Studies at De Montfort University combines performance, theory and contextual study. Its lively curriculum includes opportunities to act, script, direct and study the history of different theatrical traditions.
Joint honours degree courses allow you to study two different subjects, 50% of one subject and 50% of another
Nationally recognised as a Centre for Excellence in Performance Arts, awarded for teaching and learning
The subject is consistently ranked highly for overall satisfaction in the National Student Survey
The course combines both critical and creative approaches to drama, with practical work taking place in superb studios and rehearsal rooms
There are regular visits to local and London theatres and an annual field trip (most recently to New York, Paris, Amsterdam and Dublin)
DMU is a key creative and educational partner with Leicester's new £68 million Curve theatre
Joint Honours combinations allow you to pursue complementary paths of study in two disciplines, developing common threads and enhancing specific skills through shared learning.
Drama and Education, for example, highlights the processes of learning and development in performance. Creative Writing shares Drama's interest in the creative uses of language while a Drama and English combination emphasises both disciplines' interest in written texts. Drama and Arts and Festivals Management combines a study of creative performance and the theory and practice of the management of arts industries, while Drama and Media and Communication reflects the importance of media in contemporary performance.
UCAS course code:
Drama Studies and
Duration: Three years full-time, six years part-time
Institution code: D26
Audition required: No
Interview required: No
BA (Hons) Creative Writing and Drama Studies (WW84) Normally you should also have an A level in English at grade B or above. If you do not have an A level in English, you may be asked to complete a piece of work. Advanced Diploma students should also have ASL English at grade B or above.

We employ a wide range of forms of assessment in Drama Studies that develop skills in writing as well as skills in communication, presentation, independent practice and group work. Modules might use portfolios of creative and critical work, research essays, independent and group performance, seminar presentations, or combinations of these. Discussion and feedback from tutors are a vital part of the assessment process and many of the modules include formative assessment opportunities, especially in year one.
Year one modules|
Year two modules
Year three modules
Joint honours degree students will study choose available modules from 50% of one subject and 50% of another.

De Montfort University and Curve theatre have recently signed a new cultural partnership. The partnership follows a recent collaborative production; students from across all years of the Drama programmes at DMU participated in productions of two Steven Berkoff plays at the Curve Theatre, Leicester. East directed by Curve's artistic director, Paul Kerryson, and Greek, directed by Curve's associate director, Adel Al-Salloum.
Graduates in Drama Studies possess excellent research, communication and reflective skills, alongside collaborative skills and a solid knowledge of IT. They have the ability to devise, organise and self-manage projects and evaluate their outcomes, and are able to deal confidently with public performance. These qualities mean that opportunities exist for graduates of Drama Studies in diverse areas of employment. Recent graduates work in theatre companies and in various aspects of media production.
Other career destinations are community arts, primary, secondary and further education or postgraduate study. Drama has also proved good training for sales and management careers.
Patrick Ratliff graduated in 2008 and is Marketing Officer at Curve, and Nicola Betteridge, who graduated in 2009, is a secondary school Drama teacher. In different contexts both utilise the skills and knowledge acquired as DMU Drama studies students.
