How did you start dancing?
I've been dancing my whole life. I had two left feet honestly [laughs], so I didn't start officially dancing until later. I came to New York when I was 14 and saw several Broadway shows while I was studying with Open Jar Institute during the summer. The first Broadway show I saw was Memphis, and it ended up being my first national tour, so that was crazy and awesome at the same time.
But when you see these shows you realize that you have to be an amazing singer, dancer, and actor all at the same time. So I started taking more classes. I went to an arts high school, however when I was 17 I really started to study technical dance. That was about 4 years ago.
What's it like to start dancing a little later than most people?
I've been involved in musical theatre basically my whole life, so I knew the basics. It was still very challenging. I had to always come to class mentally prepared, but sometimes I wasn't able to focus completely because you have girls who had been dancing since they were two years old. In ballet, I didn't know the language, so it was a little intimidating. But I did have a lot of phenomenal teachers, support, and drive for myself.
Were you set on becoming a performer?
Yeah. My mother and father sang. They had a cute little singing group and would sing at weddings. They're now in the education and therapy fields. My oldest brother is a visual artist, singer, and a poet. My middle brother is a musician, singer, rapper, producer. They both write songs and are a part of the group Stank Sauce—they recently went to Abu Dhabi to perform. My family has been always somewhat artistically inclined, that's just how it was. We were always doing our own thing. I was a late bloomer. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I knew I liked to dance, to sing, and to act, but I didn't know how to make all these things come together. It happened gradually. But I always knew I wanted to perform.
What did you do after high school?
I didn't get into any of the musical theatre universities or colleges I wanted to get into. As a younger performer, to be honest, I had a little ego problem. I thought I was better than what I was. And the universe was like, "Nope, we're going to teach you." I took a year off and was a bridal stylist in the meantime. I do love fashion, it's a great form of self-expression. I am all about having artistic freedom and expression—that's why I love to perform. Even within fashion, I found my love.
After about a year of doing that, I auditioned for Joffrey Ballet School NYC. They came to Jacksonville, FL, where I am from. I got in and got a scholarship, which I had to have in order to go to college. I got a full scholarship for the summer program. I didn't have one for the year-round program. But it didn't matter. I was going to get to New York, and I wasn't going to leave. I ended up getting a full scholarship for the year round program—housing and tuition. It was pretty crazy.
I was studying with Garth Fagan that summer, who choreographed The Lion King. His dance company is in Rochester, and it was my second summer up there and one of the first times I truly connected myself with movement. I took the bus from Rochester to Manhattan on my 19th birthday with $20 and a dream. I'll never forget that moment. It's funny because it was like a real-life movie. That's actually how I got here.
How did you find out about Joffrey?
I was always on backstage and Playbill. I was always looking for opportunities to continue. Unfortunately, in Florida, there aren't many avenues to work in the arts as there are in New York. But I was always looking for something to do.
It's great that they hold auditions all around the country.
Yeah. They tour around the country. I actually didn't end up staying there for four years—I was at Joffrey for about a year. Spending four years would have led to a certificate. After leaving Joffrey, I began working at theme parks and booked Memphis soon after. I'm grateful that everything worked out.
What was it like to move to the city?
Initially I was staying with a friend who I met during my summers at Garth Fagan Dance. She lived at 37th and 10th. I could see Times Square from there—I was right next to the Baryshnikov Center and other things I didn't know as a little black boy from Florida. Just to be even live in the middle of all of that—I don't take things like that lightly. I think there's a purpose for everything. I've had a lot of support and love since the very first moment of coming to this place. You can't make these experiences up. Things happen.
As a performer, the way that I make my livelihood is from what I look like and who wants to work with that look. I had to realize that there is one me and one you. No one is going to be able to do something like you can, and no one is going to be able to do something like I can, which means that not everything is right for me and not everything is going to be perfect. I was very fortunate to learn that when I first got here. I was going to auditions—but I wasn't ready for Broadway. I wasn't going to all of my classes sometimes and wasn't prioritizing my time well.
A lot of people spend so much time at school, and then they come out to New York and wish that they had known certain things before coming to the city. But you really have to just experience for yourself, especially in this field.
Why did you leave Joffrey?
You know how your parents tell you to not get caught up with a boy or girl and focus on school? I wasn't necessarily getting caught up, but I was younger and wasn't prioritizing my time. I didn't take full advantage of all the opportunities that were given to me, and Joffrey called me out on it. I was living and training in their facilities, and it got to a point where they said I couldn't do it anymore. And I had to deal with that. Thankfully I met and worked with a lot of amazing artists who became friends over the year, and I have always had a pretty supportive family. I had to deal with the consequences of my choices. That was one of the most impactful lessons I learned from being here. It was a grand lesson I had to learn. It was a big deal, but I am also glad that the stakes weren't too high.
Honestly, everything worked out because I wanted to work, and I did work. But I will say that I think all students should take advantage of school and outside sources. I heard the other day that someone taught only at school is someone not taught at all. As dancers, I think we get burned out a little bit. I let people know that I am not just a dancer—I sang before I danced. You get pushed into this box, and since I danced at Joffrey Ballet School, people assume that I am just a ballet boy. I do have ballet in my toolbox, but that's only one of the things that I can do.
What are you up to now?
I just closed The Wiz in Florida. It was a beautiful time. Right now I am focusing on creating opportunities to make a living besides waiting on someone else to give me the OK. Things are in the works for me, but I don't want to sit and wait for things to happen. I just want to go, go, go. As a queer artist of color, I think there are a lot of our stories that are not shared properly to the majority of audiences. I am just focusing on channeling my work in that general direction of creative energy and creating proper and multifaceted representation for all people of color. I've been doing a lot of work with my friends on various forms of visual narratives about modern day queer black men, exploring Afrofuturism as well. There are so many marginalized groups that don't get seen, and I believe that there are more things that bring us together than separate us. I'm also in the process of writing and recording original works.
[Note: J'royce will be playing the role of Tyrone Jackson in the upcoming national tour of Fame!]
What are your aspirations?
I want to be a voice to boys and girls who don't think that they're enough, who go to these auditions and feel they have to alter their bodies or spirits. It's hard for me to put on weight, and right now on Broadway, all those men are built. I had a really hard time with that, not to mention social norms. I was a vegetarian from 13-18, and last year I started eating a lot to gain more muscle mass. I was drinking so many protein shakes and overdoing meat—I did like the way that I looked, but it wasn't really for me. And then you have to realize that there may not be an opportunity for you right now, but 1) it's coming and 2) you can create it. One thing I am so grateful for is the push for more diversity on Broadway. Different types of people, bodies, spirits. I want to continue to promote authenticity.
Toughest time you've gone through?
In general, performers always have been deemed the lowest of the low as far as getting paid for your art. Rachelle Rak always says it's not all glamorous. People want to have us on a pedestal but when it comes to a livelihood—I didn't go to school to be a doctor or a lawyer. I went to school to perform. To tell stories. When it's not reciprocated, it can taint something so sacred.
When I was training to be a bartender at Something Rotten!, everyday I was hearing Michael James Scott belt and all these beautiful people singing while I was pouring drinks. That can really negatively alter your mental state if you're not strong enough. You are serving people while other people are doing what you want to do. I couldn't handle it. That was probably the toughest time.
I will say that to get out of any tough moments, I've had a great support system and I've been always able to remember that this is a process. Everyone has gone through it. Some people graduate immediately and get on Broadway, but those shows are over. Even Tony winners have to figure out what they're going to do because any performing job isn't really constant work. I've been fortunate enough to find ways to make a living, but I am still searching.
Number one advice?
We need to be nice to each other. Because when there's competition, our insecurities can show. We may not be as supportive for someone else. I was at a call the other day, and three of us were the same type. At the audition, we opened up and asked each other how we felt about it. If I don't get it, someone I like will get it. As Marisha Wallace says, "If God is knocking on your friend's door, at least they're in the neighborhood."
Is there anything you want to share with the world?
I think the main thing is to continue being who you are. I had a hard time with that. People always say that I am unapologetic with my energy, which I guess is true. But I've been dealing with lots of internal struggles simply because sometimes you get put into a box. If you're not strong within yourself, you can become someone else and years later and not understand what happened or how you go where you are. Everyone will not understand you and that's absolutely okay. You really don't want them in your empire anyway. Trust in your instincts, believe in your intuition. Know that you're on the right track and there's only one of you. There may be a lot of people who look like you, sound like you, dance like you, but there's only one person that can bring the energy that you have. Once you hone that, it becomes easier.

JEROME StOLNITZ "YOU CAN'T SEPARATE THE WORK OF ART FROM THE ARTIST" This, ? argue, all too familiar certitude, having survived several decades of intensive theoretical rebuttal, continues to dominate literary theory and criticism. I therefore take a different tack. The theoretical rebuttal has abstracted from the critical literature the meanings of the certitude it has taken as its targets. This is a gain in generality which escapes Socrates' objections to examples. What is lost, however, in removing the discussion from particular first-order studies, is die concrete deployment of the certitude, wherein we see most clearly why it commends itself to critics doing their job. Hence my alternative . I select a single literary biography which is grounded in the certitude. The objections are mitigated by choosing a work that is, in its scholarship, thoroughness, and astuteness, exemplary. An Aunt Sally won't do. There is a second, quite different argument for my undertaking. The last decade has seen the massive and, speaking strictly, unprecedented development ofcritical theory and practice which simply negate the above formula. The work can be, and is, separated from its author. The critic is not constrained, normatively , historically, or, we might add, morally by the writer. Whatever the cogency or longevity ofthis development, it is symptomatic. It evidences the gap between certitude and certainty. Even in an age avid for novelties, it is unlikely that these iconoclasms could have so quickly taken over large sectors of the critical profession, had the conventional wisdom owned the substance diat would warrant its plausibility and its endurance. The biographical approach to literature is the archetype of such wisdom. Consider, now, the conceptual rigor of this approach. Joseph Frank — no Aunt Sally he, a distinguished cride, the first volume of whose life of Dostoevsky ' has been as widely acclaimed as any literary biography in'recent years. His announcement of his purpose is considered and appealing. Since it is the art that makes an author worthy of biography, Frank 209 210PHILOSOPHY AND LITERATURE will not, in contrast to most biographers, narrate all details of the writer's life. Frank will, instead, select only those details which "have some critical relevance — only . . . those that help to cast some light on his books" (p. xii), though there immediately follows: "My work is thus not a biography ... for I do not go from the life to die work, but rather the other way round" (p. xii). These statements are too much like a contradiction to be taken as such. Perhaps they are best taken as monitory, suggesting some sort of circularity in Frank's procedure. He leaves, however, no doubt diat his "purpose is to interpret Dostoevskys art . . ." (p. xii). So his epigraph from Ortega y Gasset, which reads, in part: "Criticism is not biography. . . . [The] critic is expected to provide in his work all the . . . aids which will enable the ordinary reader to receive the most intense and clearest possible impression of die book" (p. 2). Frank records, among the details of Dostoevskys childhood, that the family's summer residence was near a wood whose name is mat of a wood in The Devils and that young Fyodor was fond of hedgehogs, an animal mentioned sympadietically in The Idiot. These and similar trivia have no interpretive use but they show how Frank moves "from die work to die life" in singling out events in die life. These and like details also illustrate, still quite trivially, a view, common among other biographers, which Frank reprobates, viz. , diat the elements in the novels are "photographic" reproductions of die author's life (p. 8). Frank's criticism of his fellows, widi which he is only innocuously inconsistent in mentioning these facts, is, again, persuasive, though it must merefore raise doubts concerning a fair amount of literary biography. We need to see, however, how his own treatment differs from the "photographic" when he gets down to cases. Frank moves from the deep sympathy in the novels for those who lack social position and power to die predicament of the Dostoevsky family diroughout the audioes youth. Since his parents, particularly his father, aspired to a status diat was always denied diem, a sense of social inferiority infected...

Angelique is leaving Great Cove yesterday morning. She heads into the fog bank over Eggemoggin Reach and soon becomes a memory. However, she's a 130-foot topsail ketch that is easy to remember.
Angelique is the only windjammer in the Maine fleet with a large overhanging fantail and tanbark-colored sails.
Many years ago, when sails were made of cotton, the sailcloth often was dipped in a vat of tannins extracted from tree bark. This was done to protect the sails against rot; the resulting red-brown color was (and is) called tanbark (although "bark-tan" would seem more apt). (Brooklin, Maine)

With the Eastern League's regular season in its final days, some teams are looking forward to the postseason, while others are looking forward to going home to be with family and friends.
With the Eastern League's regular season in its final days, some teams are looking forward to the postseason, while others are looking forward to going home to be with family and friends.
A select few, regardless of their team's standings, look to bring home some hardware. This year, there was a distinct Maryland flavor.
Former Bowie BaySox outfielder Lou Montanez is holding on to the Triple Crown by one home run over Erie's Ryan Roberson. No matter if Roberson catches him, Montanez is this year's Most Valuable Player. With a .335 average, 26 home runs, 97 RBIs and 90 runs over 116 games for Bowie, Montanez was the class of the EL before his promotion to the majors.
Teammate Brad Bergesen brings home the league's top pitching honor. With 15 wins against three losses and an ERA of 3.11, Bergesen was tops in the victory column and sixth in ERA. He was second in complete games with two.
BaySox skipper Brad Komminsk led the team to its first playoff berth since 1997. The team also won its first division title in franchise history, thanks to a nearly 60-percent success rate.
Wes Hodges, the Akron Aeros' third baseman, was honored as the top rookie in the league. Hodges had a big hand in Akron reaching the playoffs once again. He hit .285 with 16 homers and 91 RBIs.
Record breakers
For the fifth consecutive season, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats set a single-season mark for attendance. With a crowd of 6,689 fans at the home finale on Thursday, the Fisher Cats saw 373,227 fans enter MerchantsAuto.com Stadium in 2008.
On the same day in Portland, the Sea Dogs welcomed their 6 millionth fan in the team's 15-year history. Rene Sirois of Auburn, Maine, threw out the first pitch before the game against New Britain, and received a prize package from the team consisting of a $125 gift card to a local grocery store, two Walk On Outdoor Adventures from LL Bean, a gift card to LL Bean and a sky box to a future Sea Dogs game.
Nothing is more exciting than the pennant race, and in the Northern Division, Portland and Binghamton will battle to the end. Portland entered Saturday with a one-game lead with three games to play. Whichever team comes away with the final spot visits Trenton for the first game in a best-of-five series starting Wednesday.
Meanwhile in the Southern Division, Akron and Bowie will battle.

I met with an agency the other day, who struck me as being at the more enlightened end of the scale when it came to working with independents. We were meeting about some potential work on a client in the future, and the concept of this blog came up in conversation, and they asked me what I thought the best way to engage and motivate freelancers was.
'Enlightened' because the vast majority of agencies I work with tend to use freelancers because of one of a few reasons, all of which tend to be fairly last minute - (1) they have a big pitch coming up and either don't have the volume of staff to resource it or the right kind of staff to help them win it (2) they're always a bit under-resourced and use you when volume of work increases beyond the team practically living at the office or (3) they can't really afford to have someone with your capability on staff full time, and pull you in as and when you're needed.
Obviously, there's nothing wrong with any of these reasons (and they make up a good deal of my business), but this agency were looking at how they could form a more ongoing relationship with a particular set of freelancers, identifying them as skill sets that could be important to them, and wanting to build something longer term in approach, even if their use of the individual might only extend to a day here and there.
This longer term view chimes with a lot of trends I'm seeing at the moment, and conversations I'm having about new businesses springing up - agencies who want to extend their skill set and overtly position themselves as having teams of people they can pull in as and when projects require; agencies that pair brands and independents to produce great work they might not get out of a traditional agency team; recruitment organisations arising that focus purely on freelancers and positioning them as a core part of your business, despite their absence from the pay roll.
It also marries with the issues that some larger organisations are having in recruiting younger candidates (I'm desperately trying not to use the term millennials here through risk of someone throwing things at me), because they have learnt from the world of independent working that the benefits they seek are no longer about money and title, but more geared towards flexibility, entrepreneurialism, and genuine support of their individuality and creativity, and some bigger corporations are found wanting on each of these measures.
So, in preparation of responding to this agency, I thought I'd write down my thoughts and impressions of what freelancers would really like, and what would engage them in terms of having a longer term relationship with agencies or brands:
(1) Make working with you easy peasy
This one sounds simple (hence the easy peasy...), but the reality is it's often not. Many companies are still not set up for someone to come and hot-desk with them for a few days or weeks; or heaven forbid, interact with them remotely.
Whether it's getting a wifi code (why, oh why do some companies change this every day??), getting access to servers (I've now worked in several companies, one of which I contracted with for over a year, where they made me have a second computer so I could get access to anything on their server - it was quite literally 'computer says no' when it came to the idea of setting something up on my laptop despite me regularly working remotely), or the simple act of printing, in many places it just becomes a nightmare. In some companies the guest wifi is so slow you may as well just go round the corner to the nearest greasy spoon and you would get a better signal.
If you want us to come back and work with you, please make this stuff easier - and think about the fact that your clients probably feel the same when they try and fit in a bit of work at your office too!
(2) Pay us on time
This is a really crucial one. I don't want you to think that freelancers are all about the money, as there are a number of things on this list that don't pertain to this at all, but getting paid on time is super important as an independent. Ironically it's the largest companies who tend to be the worst at this. Over time you learn the tricks of making sure you get to know someone in accounts, find out any funny details of the invoicing process, send a reminder email a week ahead of time to remind them that your payment is due, doubly underline your payment terms...etc...etc....but still you end up chasing to get paid. I've had clients who I've stopped working with because of this, because after a while it becomes untenable.
(3) The nicer stuff - involve us in your innovations, your insights and the fun stuff!
One of the challenges of being a freelancer is continuing to advance, educate yourself, and ensure you stay on top of everything that is going on in the industry you specialise in. It's obviously your responsibility to do this, and good freelancers will be all over it, but you do miss the resources available to you when you have teams of specialists, relationships with other organisations, and generally a wealth of information coming your way (much of which tends to get ignored by people when thy do work full-time, which is a crying shame!).
If you have great speakers coming into the company, or some kind of training available, or perhaps a good update of great work you've done - it's great to offer up the opportunity to your freelancers to partake in the information. We don't expect you to pay us to train us, but giving us the opportunity to be involved in our own time is always appreciated (and often reciprocated when we get information that may be of interest to you).
(4) Have a clear definition of what you want us to achieve for you
Sometimes this is simple - you're hired to come in to run a pitch for example and your brief and the expectations behind that are pretty clear. In other scenarios, the requirements can be much more wooly, and sometimes the client is too busy to have really thought about how they might want you to spend your time on the day they've booked you for. We all understand being manic, but it feels awful when we feel like we're wasting our time, your time, and your money - it's all good and well being paid, but most freelancers are also in it to do good work, so before you book someone, get your brief nailed.
(5) Finally, relationships matter!
My best relationships with companies have been when they almost feel like colleagues over a period of time. I don't mean we want to come to your staff meetings (we don't, it's often what we're trying to escape), or that we necessarily want to come to your christmas do (it's lovely to be asked, but sometimes it feels a bit strange when it's with your clients at the end of the day, there is a line..). What it does mean is that meeting up for catch up coffee in between projects; having the odd lunch together, or drink at the end of the day - particularly after you and a team have just finished a project or pitch - these are all important things.
Freelancers probably aren't as dependent on the social side of work anymore (and if they are, they might be in the wrong job), but it's nice to be nice! We all like to work with people that we've built strong relationships with, where you don't feel that you have to start from scratch each time and you build up some kind of communication understanding - and the social side of work is as crucial in building this with your freelancers as it is in getting internal teams to bond together. Lets face it, everyone likes to be invited for a drink at the end of the day.
So that's it - as a starter for ten, it's not complicated stuff - and there will be many ways beyond this via which you can build great, long term relationships with this mythical group of independent workers, but getting the basics right is a brilliant start.

In this styled shoot at Cornell Plantations with Leanne Rose Photography I made an Aurora's Rose head piece. While living in Los Angeles I had discovered the Antique Mall's of Old Pasadena. In one, I had found a decrepit antique edition of Hans Christain Anderson Fairy Tales for 50 cents. At the time I was not sure why I had to have it, but I raced to the register to buy it. A few years later, once the 'newness' had worn off and I realized I had half a story with weathered pages, I began cutting rose petals from it. A few month's later the book pages turned rose petals became something.
The Aurora's Rose head piece was made from antique book pages, story: Sleeping Beauty, Swarovski Crystal sprigs, velvet lamb's ear, pearls, antique lace cuts, and fiber paper were hand sewn to create the piece.
While making the head piece I was reading 'The Great Night' by Chris Adrian. 'The Great Night' is a Shakespearean retelling of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' For a long time I've asked myself, while designing, is this a dress for Juliet or Ophelia and when considering Fairy Tales as literature I've always thought on what Shakespearean heroin best matures a classic princess.
In this story, I've wondered if model Lea isn't Ophelia-pre-insanity and if Sleeping Beauty hadn't fallen asleep would she have gone crazy upon the impending identity crisis of who am I really. For now, both living inside Lea, 'immortalized' in this shoot get to wander the gardens before having to finish the thought.

Ask any photographer what time of day they prefer to shoot and a lot of them will tell you sunset. Personally, I prefer sunrise. There's something special about seeing the first light of a brand new day, and the amazing colors it casts across the land. This is especially true in Arizona. When the sun creeps over the mountains and illuminates the different hues of red, orange, and green of our desert landscape it's a sight to be seen. Now, put a beautiful girl and her horse into that scene and you have a recipe for the perfect photoshoot!
As a photographer it's important to be constantly shooting. Test shoots are a very useful way to do this. I had just finished up a very busy month of commissioned work, so when I got the call to come shoot with Alex and immediately jumped at the opportunity. I needed a bit of creative freedom to try whatever I wanted, not to mention I had never shot anyone with a horse before, making this test shoot a win win.
The shoot took place down at the lower Salt River, which is known for having wild horses (THE Salt River Horses) to roam around. We hoped they might make an appearance and they did not disappoint.
Even though I love to shoot at sunrise, it's tough to get up at 3am. But, once we made it to the river and saw the amazing light coming over the mountains and through the trees I forgot all about being tired. As the day moved on and the light got a bit harsher I busted out my Profoto B1 and put the high speed sync (HSS) to the test. This worried me a little since you never know how horses will react to strobes flashing at them. Luckily Joker was very well behaved, (besides eating all the tall grass in my scene lol).
There was one shot I was really looking forward to setting up, the bow shot. I love the photo Annie Leibovitz took for her Disney Princesses series of the character from Brave, so knowing Alex is a trained mounted archer presented me with the opportunity to get my own bow and arrow shot! What was great about working with Alex is, occasionally I would tell her to do something with the bow and she'd correct me and say it's not how it's really done. This kept things authentic, that way if anyone in the archery community were to see the photo they wouldn't immediately say FAKE! Being someone who shoots a lot of active lifestyle / fitness work I always try to stay authentic, which is why when you shoot with me, you get a real workout in!
Towards the end of our shoot we were lucky enough to witness two groups of feral horses come right up to us, and we even managed to get a few shots with them in the frame. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the results of the shoot. Both Alex and Joker performed beautifully, and I cant wait to get back to this location for another sunrise!

The Watermark at Trinity is now offering a monthly Alzheimer's Support Group the first Tuesday of every month at 10:30am. The facilitator of the group, Jennifer Chianella of Gulfside Hospice, has been a facilitator of support groups for years and has several training certifications on Alzheimer's disease and related disorders through the Department of Elder Affairs.
Jen Chianella Biography
Jen grew up outside of Buffalo, New York. She graduated from the State University of New York's College of Fredonia where she received her degree in sociology with a concentration in social work. She spent a few years working in social work, working with HUD housing as well as the Department of Children and families before pursuing a career in pharmaceutical sales. Five years ago, she came to Gulfside Hospice after taking a leave of absence from pharmaceutical sales to be her mother's caregiver while her mother was battling colon cancer. It was at this time that Jen learned about hospice and about being a caregiver. Although Jen's mom lost her fierce battle with cancer, Jen gained a new rewarding career. Jen now educates others about the benefits of programs that enrich and help others lives like hospice and palliative care.
One thing that Jen truly believes in is being educated about programs and resources that are available. Having this knowledge allows you to be able to advocate for your loved ones. This allows you to have a goal to help others become educated and knowledgeable about resources that will help you be the best caregiver for your loved ones. As a caregiver, it is so important to have a place where you can talk with others who are in similar situations as you are. Who are walking in the same shoes that you are. Who are feeling the same loss and pain that you are. As a caregiver it is very important to also make sure that your needs are being met. A support group is a great place to start building a foundation of friendships of people who understand what you are going through. It is a safe place, a place where you can share feelings, get ideas, and just make new friends who understand the world that you are living in.
Please come join Jen on the first Tuesday of each month at 10:30am. Together we will learn from one another and grow stronger as well as learn to nurture our needs as caregivers.

About Ghost Cabin at Chophouse Row (aka "Grandma's House")
In 2013, when contractors were digging out the basement of the Chophouse building in preparation to pour new concrete footings, they made a startling discovery. Buried several feet below the basement slab was a crude foundation outlining a small house. In fact, they should not have been surprised, as this discovery confirmed what had been suspected for many years—that an original layer of pioneer settlement had existed on this block, at least 20 feet below today's grade, before the streets were raised and leveled to accommodate a streetcar on East Pike Street. Sanborn maps of the site from 1903 show a dwelling near 11th Avenue and a small outbuilding directly below today's courtyard.
The Chophouse construction project (2013 – 2015) was an ambitious and frankly difficult one. Construction workers complained, only half-jokingly, that because they had accidentally disturbed what they nicknamed "Grandma's House", her ghost had to come back to impede their progress.
In 2018, Liz Dunn [owner] and Greg Lundgren [artist and curator], teamed up to commission a large-scale artwork that would provide a focal point to the courtyard and somehow reflect the environmental history of the site. SHED Architecture & Design was selected and several concepts were explored until the story of Grandma's ghost and her mysterious cabin emerged and drove the idea to fruition.
Ghost Cabin was installed in 2018 by contractors Plumb Level Square and inaugurated on August 4th, 2018. Perhaps the wish of Grandma's ghost was simply that the outline of her story could emerge and become slightly more visible to us through the palimpsest of time represented by this block.

Record Breaking EICMA Moto & Bici
MILAN, Italy – The 65th edition of the EICMA International Motorcycle and Bicycle show, held November 2 – 11, drew a record breaking crowd of over 500,000 visitors. The numbers could have been even bigger if
MILAN, Italy – The 65th edition of the EICMA International Motorcycle and Bicycle show, held November 2 – 11, drew a record breaking crowd of over 500,000 visitors. The numbers could have been even bigger if the Milan traffic police had not been forced to close the access road to the new Fiera Milano on Friday and Saturday due to road traffic problems.
The traffic problems experienced during this year's EICMA have not yet been settled. Show Director Costantino Ruggiero explained: "I'd like the city of Milan to realize just what our show means to the city, but I get the feeling that won't happen. The Milan transport authority set difficult conditions for us to reach an agreement that would have helped ease the problems of the last few days of this year's show." Despite all that, EICMA Director Ruggiero also commented: "Our anger can't hide the satisfaction with the success of the show, including the velodrome, which proved to be a real crowd puller. As well as 500,000 visitors, we also had 45,000 trade visitors in the first two days and over 2,000 journalists visiting the show."
Regarding the products on show at this year's EICMA, in the bicycle halls 5 and 7 in particular there was a striking number of exhibitors displaying pedelecs and e-Bikes. They all intend to profit from the new electric trend that is also expected to emerge in Italy. Along with the e-Bikes, the number of frame makers showing titanium frames also stood out. Whether this material is likely to take over from carbon is questionable, as lots of Italian frame makers are real specialists.
At EICMA Moto the environmental trend among the big brands was striking. Almost all of them are incorporating environmentally-friendly engines in their line-ups. Piaggio is perhaps the best example of this new trend. The biggest Powered Two-Wheeler maker in Italy (and Europe) launched the HvS Hybrid power plant: a regular combustion engine combined with an electric motor. In 2008 the HvS power plant will be used on Piaggio's successful three-wheeler MP3 and later also on lots of other models. Piaggio is not the only PTW maker concentrating on hybrid engines; Honda and Yamaha also have similar technologies to be incorporated in future models, while other PTW makers including SYM showed all-electric scooters.
For next year EICMA has already decided on the dates of EICMA Moto which will be held November 4 – 9, 2008. At the same dates the Velodrome track racing will take place because, as EICMA puts it: "It was a vital part on the overall success of EICMA 2007."

A 10-Point Plan for Tips (Without Being Overwhelmed)
Information About Blog Topics That Tend to Appeal to Men It has really only been within the past ten years that blogging became a valid and viable career option for people. Now, though, some well known bloggers earn over one million dollars per year! Therefore, the idea of blogging is now quite attractive for a lot of individuals. If you are interested in launching a blog geared toward men, but you aren't sure what your focus should be on, you'll get some good ideas as you read this guide. It is, though, crucial for you to grasp that not every male person is interested in every subject that stereotypically has a masculine bent. You will not be able to successfully launch your blog until you've developed a plan for who your target audience is and what they are going to want to read. If, for instance, you are wanting to attract young men who are just launching hopefully stellar careers, telling them how to impress their bosses and how to look great in the office are good ways to win them over. Consider Covering Technological Innovations
Valuable Lessons I've Learned About Sales
Lots and lots of men are fans of tech devices. If you want to gain a big following fairly quickly, launching a tech gear blog might be your best bet. There are a wide variety of things you could showcase on this sort of blog. Doing reviews of cutting edge tech products is, of course, a necessity, but you might also want to do interviews with start-up CEOs and event coverage at major releases.
What No One Knows About Resources
A Fashion Blog Could Develop a Cult Following Frequently, when people find a fashion blogger they like, they stick with him or her for years. If this is the type of blog you choose to launch, however, you should realize that your following might be fairly small for awhile. As time goes by, though, and you make a point of connecting your other social media accounts to your blog, you are likely to start checking more and more accomplishments off of your to-do list as a blogger. Typically, men who become followers of style blogs are looking for day-to-day advice rather than special features about the world of haute couture. Try to plan several posts per week in advance. It's an exceptional idea to have a certain type of post, perhaps "Workwear Wednesday," that doesn't change from week to week. This is one way to start putting together an actual brand. These are not even close to all of the blog options that are out there. Take the time to look-up information about popular bloggers whose posts target men; this will help you understand how they are gaining followers. Good luck as you embark on this endeavor!

Coaster Sets! Now Available
Coaster Sets are up!
A set of four coasters to protect your furniture. Each set comes with a lazy stand, tilted just so that the coasters stay put until you need them.
Each coaster is 3.75 inches square, and .375 inches thick.
Perfect for a housewarming gift, or a wedding present for those that are too hard to shop for!
Handmade in Pennsylvania from local, sustainably harvested cherry wood. Due to the handmade and natural nature of my work, the wood grain of the coaster set you receive will likely vary slightly from the wood grain of the coasters in the pictures.
The wood in this piece has been treated with boiled linseed oil. This oil hardens into the wood giving it a bit of protection. Linseed oil is a traditional wood finish that brings out the natural color of cherry wood without actually staining it.
Because these coasters are treated with a natural finish, they will wear over time. It is my belief that this adds to their beauty and individuality.
Introducing - Twilight
My new motif, Twilight, was inspired by the time I spend exploring the woods of Southeastern Pennsylvania. My family has deep roots in New England, and the Mid-Atlantic region. Mountains, woods, and a powerful starry sky have been a part of my life since day one.

Scribe for Makers was created by Scribe Labs – a company founded by a team with experience bringing new technologies to consumer markets for companies like Activision and Red Octane. Scribe Labs launched its first product – RunScribe – as a successful Kickstarter that shipped in 2015. Today, RunScribe is used to provide real-world gait analysis for athletes, coaches and clinicians.
We have received endless requests to open up access to our hardware for different applications – from fitness to equestrian sports to head tracking for VR and gaming. As a small team trying to get our first product off the ground, we helped where we could. Scribe was used for academic studies and research projects, but we quickly realized that our fellow creators needed a quality integrated motion sensor. We worked with our manufacturer to beef up the specs and created the APIs & tools to let you take advantage of the hardware we've spent years developing.

Native American Indian Lore: ORIGIN OF OUR TRIBAL FLOWER
Many, many moons ago, there lived an old man alone in his lodge beside a stream in the thick woods. He was heavily clad in furs; for it was winter, and all the world was covered with snow and ice. The winds swept through the woods; searching every bush and tree for birds to chill, and chasing evil spirits over high hills, through tangled swamps, and valleys deep. The old man went about, and peered vainly in the deep snow for pieces of wood to sustain the fire in his lodge.

There are things he writes in this book that are relevant to everyone. Whether we are at war or peace with the tiny creatures we call microorganisms, we can't help but conclude that they are the building blocks of the communities we observe as organisms. His obsession with ferment is contagious.

DIY: How to Plant a Personal Garden In a Small Urban Space
Many people bemoan the fact that they can't grow their own food (or even flowers) because they lack any kind of garden space, but guess what? You can actually grow more than you realize in really small areas as long as they get a bit of direct sun. Hell, you can even grow things indoors under a lamp, but there's something special about plucking your own food from a stalk that's been sitting in summer sunshine all day. In any case, whether you have a little concrete slab behind your house, a fire escape outside your window, or even a tiny balcony, your urban garden can be a veritable Eden of fresh, healthy, home-grown vegetables, and herbs.
How To Improve Your Garden Soil Without A Compost Heap - Whole Food Home
A compost heap is a great way to recycle kitchen waste and improve your garden soil for free. However not everyone has the space needed and depending on where you live, you may want to deter any unwanted furry visitors. It's not always necessary to compost kitchen waste before adding it to your soil. So here are a few tips on how you can improve your garden soil without a compost heap using three kitchen scraps you'd normally throw away. Rinse out any egg shells you have and allow them to dry for a few days in a bowl on a sunny window sill or by a radiator. When they are dry they crush very easily.

Edible Garden How-To » Edible Landscaping with Rosalind Creasy
Rosalind Creasy's 100-Square-Foot Garden While doing research for my new book Edible Landscaping, I became so aware of how much energy is squandered on lawns. What if, I thought, a small area of people's lawns were converted to growing edibles? When I checked stats for fruit and vegetable yields, I realized that all the information online is for commercial growers, not home gardeners. Home gardeners harvest more often and don't discard misshapen vegetables.

Exploring the Green and Blue Caves – Group tour

Widely regarded as one of the world's most beautiful natural phenomena, this cave is a mustsee. Our trip continues to the legendary island of Vis. We will have an hour of free time to explore this charming seaside hamlet before we take off to enjoy the Paklinski Islands.
