On The Road: Dust Be My Destiny (1939)
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on June 24, 2014
Though it was made in 1939, Dust Be My Destiny has the feel of a Warner Brothers production at the turn of the decade, with its story of a railroad tramp framed for murder. The recession of 1937-'38 had renewed fears of economic collapse, which made the old anxieties new again. John Garfield was getting increasingly frustrated at the roles he was being provided in his WB contract, as he was continually typecast as an ex-con or criminal type who is inevitably redeemed. The character of Joe Bell in Dust Be My Destiny varies little from the template, which led Garfield to begin refusing roles, and he was punished with suspensions by the studio. The part of Bell was originally intended for James Cagney, and Garfield had become slotted as a kind of shadow Cagney, a pugnacious battler for the working class. Garfield's politics certainly lined up with the political sentiments, but the material, he felt, was weak. Fellow lefty Robert Rossen adapted the screenplay for Dust Be My Destiny, but studio interference shifted a story intended as an anti-authoritarian Bonnie & Clyde-type tale into a conventional melodramatic romance. The failure of Fritz Lang's You Only Live Once (1937) gave WB executives pause, causing the material from Jerome Odlum's novel to be massaged into an unrecognizable shape. Dust Be My Destiny is a curious artifact in John Garfield's brief, brilliant career, and is now available to view on DVD from the Warner Archive.
Warner Brothers head-of-production Hal Wallis was plugged into the development of the story even as Odlum was still completing his novel. Having written Each Dawn I Die, which was already in production at the studio (with Cagney in the lead), made Odlum a briefly in-demand presence at WB. In an interoffice memo sent to Wallis, the matter of the ending was apparently under negotiation even before the book was published:
While I don't know how Odlum's novel ended, happiness wins the day in the feature version. Seton I. Miller was brought in to rewrite the ending, which is a mash-up of seeming every popular genre of the day outside of Westerns. It starts out as a prison drama, as Joe Bell is incarcerated for a murder he did not commit. It shifts to a hobo train-hopping picture after Bell is cleared of the crime and he has to bum around for money. Then it becomes a prison farm movie after he's busted for vagrancy, where he falls for the warden's daughter Mabel (Priscilla Lane). And it even finds time to become a jailbreak flick, a muckraking newspaper drama, and a courtroom thriller. The result is a film-by-committee that never settles on a particular tone, and one in which any social relevance is drowned in plot twists.
The remarkable thing is that it remains watchable, thanks to the ace production team working on the feature. Max Steiner provides his usual rousing score, James Wong Howe pulls off some modest tracking shots as well as angelic close-ups of the brooding Garfield. The hobo sections are the most effective, the majority taking place on a storm-swept evening when Howe can play with low lighting. It is also where Ward Bond pops up as a short-fused stickup man who fingers Joe to the cops as a member of his gang, a lie out of spite. The spitefulness comes from a train car brawl, and one wonders how eager the two political opposites (Bond was a rabid conservative) were ready to beg off stuntmen and go after each other for real. For what it's worth, the punches look stiff.
It is also the only time when the film captures the early '30s WB spirit, of a certain authenticity in how working people walked and talked. There is so much static speechifying in the film it becomes a series of monologues that grind the film to a halt. Things only pick up with a succession of energetic turns by supporting players, including a Frank McHugh as a hustling theater impresario and Alan Hale as an avuncular newspaper editor. Their sheer warmth invigorates the film when the script is flagging, but they are not on-screen enough to sustain this unusual enterprise. Even film critics, those rather closed-minded fuddy duddys, were seeing how Garfield was being misused. In the New York Times, Frank S. Nugent opened his review of Dust Be My Destiny by describing John Garfield as the "official gall-and-wormwood taster for the Warners". His lack of quality material was becoming a story, and Garfield would battle WB until his contract ran out in 1946, when he joined up with the independent Enterprise Productions, which released an inflammatory group of nine films (including Force of Evil ) before folding under the accusatory eye of HUAC. And Dust Be My Destiny led him there.

I love that people are willing to put their political message out there in a film, and other people, with free choice, can accept or reject the film.

Sounds like something you'd find on the bottom of a double bill with John Lloyd Sullivan's O Brother Where Art Thou.

DUST BE MY DESTINY is one of the best movie titles ever (along with another 1939 Warner release, EACH DAWN I DIE).
As for the movie, it's a good movie that could have been great. It alternates between pungent social comment and feel-good Hollywood fluff. The happy ending feels VERY tacked-on. Maybe a stronger director than Lewis Seiler (a specialist in efficient but unmemorable B movies) could have done more with the material.
But anything from this era with Garfield and Lane is worth a look.

Migraine Awareness Week
Living with migraine
Migraine awareness week runs from 4th to 10th September 2016.
Having been a lifelong sufferer I thought I would share my own experience and how I try to manage my attacks. Of course your experience of migraine might be different to mine but if you aren't sure, then the first step is to get a diagnosis from your GP.
Here it comes again – that migraine feeling
Migraine can run in families. My mother also suffered with frequent migraine attacks until she retired and my brother continues to suffer as well.
As fellow sufferers know, symptoms can vary from person to person and so can the triggers. My brother for example avoids chocolate and cheese because these are his triggers. My trigger is hormonal and linked to my monthly cycle.
The first signs of an imminent attack for me would be yawning more than usual, runny nose and a craving for something. I always felt that if I could find the illusive thing that I craved, then I would be cured. Interestingly all of the things I crave are sweet things.
If I miss the window to take my prescribed tablet, the migraine takes hold and lasts for 3 days. The pain is always over my right eye, but as I have gotten older the pain now starts from my neck and up the side of my head. It is an effort to keep my head upright. I cannot think straight and have difficulty stringing a sentence together and please don't ask me to make a decision about anything no matter how simple. No change there some might say.
And then with a bad attack there would be a day of vomiting all day. The fourth day, after the migraine had passed would leave me feeling extremely drained.
I know that for other people their experiences and frequency of attacks will be different, but so debilitating for anyone who suffers with migraine.
It's caused by what?
Although migraine may not be curable, they can be managed. The doctors I have seen over the years have usually asked if I feel stressed or anxious to which I always replied "No I don't think so".
I started to study hypnotherapy and learnt that a migraine was a form of panic attack. WHAT??? REALLY???
Well that revelation certainly got me thinking. Do you know, when I thought about the 2 recent attacks I'd had, I could actually pinpoint them to something that had raised my stress and anxiety levels. Well who knew?
As I continued to study and learn more about how our brains actually work it sort of started to make sense. I realised that perhaps I could start to manage my migraines a little more effectively instead of reaching for the medication.
What about the brain?
We have a part of the brain that is the original primitive part. It steps in to protect us in an emergency or if we're facing danger. We release chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline which help us to either run or fight. But the primitive part of the brain cannot tell the difference between reality and imagination. It generally looks at everything in the worst case scenario. This means that we negatively forecast and start imagining all sorts of things going wrong. This leads to feelings of anxiety.
Negative thinking causes anxiety so by changing our thoughts to positive ones, we reduce our anxiety. When we think positively we produce a constant flow of Serotonin, ('the happy hormone'), which means that we are able to cope a lot better in our everyday lives, both mentally and physically.
The way that we do that is through positive thinking, positive action and positive interaction. Doing some form of exercise or activity and spending time with family and friends all help.
I can only speak from personal experience of course but I have found that my migraines have been less frequent and less intense since I started to study and practice hypnotherapy. I try to focus on the here and now and think about the positive things and stop worrying about things that might never happen. I'm not saying it's easy but it helps.
What else can help?
Alternative and complementary therapies, which although cannot claim to offer a cure, can help you to cope a lot better for example:-
- Hypnotherapy
- Acupuncture
- Homeopathy
- Reflexology
- Herbal Remedies

Finally, the snooze fest which was the 2009 Election appears to be heating up. To be fair, Hillary Kwiatek and Glenn Eckhart have been waging a spirited campaign for june thru september. Hillary has attended many county commissioner meetings which campaign regarding swing 5th District is hot all along. Usually seen as the real decider in the total amount of turn on the Board of Commissioners ever when you realize Democrats captured 2 at-large seats in 2007 to draw to 5-4.
And why should he take the trouble? You need an address to vote, and homeless individuals don't have any. Poor people don't have much money to encourage political campaigns. Even though children make great photo ops, they otherwise have no political funding.
Obama is often a powerhouse with politics and delivering speeches but also on additionally front. He has brought the Blackberry onto a new stratosphere of coolness and likeability, honestly harvest want have a similar phone as the president? Exactly, everybody achieves.
But in high school, Zenaida did start to flourish. Her artistic abilities came to light and she or he began to design her own clothing. She even won 2nd area in the school arts levels. Then, in her senior year, Zenaida wanted function with in the location where she'd found her only success–fashion design, and she or he tried gain access to college. Yet, her grades weren't good enough to go towards schools of her getting. She was functionally illiterate.
In 2000, he refused to use Henry Kissinger, saying he "would taint the image of the 'Straight Talk Express'." Kissinger is currently co-Chair within the New York campaign tricky work.
Action speaks louder than words. Doesn't the word "cooperation" imply a two-way street? There is a track record for McCain working the actual use of Democrats successfully . the controversial McCain-Feingold opensecrets.org reform law most notably . but none of them whatsoever for Obama doing the doing the laundry Republicans.
Cunningham did give 0 donations towards commissioner nominees. "Democrats contribute to Democrats and Republicans contribute to Republicans," he explained. He is true. Republican Dean Browning's campaign has contributed on the GOP side, so is undoubtedly some the account balance. Browning has contributed to your Lehigh County Victory PAC as well and is former chair of the Lehigh County Republican Party, which has supported their candidates with in-kind products. So, symmetry indeed abides.
Then, somehow, that bolt from the blue skies of Massachusetts: Smith decisions via internet. On Friday, March 20, at 6:31 k.m., I learned that my daughter had been officially accepted to the designer college of her choice, the campus of Julia Child, Betty Friedan, Barbara Bush, Gloria Steinem, Sylvia Plath, Margaret Mitchell. How utterly exhilarating.
First, he doesn't like torture the instrument of yankee policy. Having "been there, done that" he knows how evil and unsupportable any connected with torture is ordinarily. Apparently just wanting to "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" isn't enough for the neo-cons. That they torture 'em too! Who needs sport when you can waterboard!
You must learn when you repeat this business right: * Have a look "sell" * You do not have to post "work at home" flyers! * People compensates YOU to prospect them * People approach strangers at the mall and in the supermarkets. * You don't have must people to enrol your commercial. They ask you!

Will you give yourself the shoes or the new Bose stereo system for your birthday?
If you shell out for that treat, you are indulging in "celebratory self-gifting", one of seven reasons QUT consumer behaviour expert Dr Gary Mortimer has found we use to justify buying ourselves a little (or big) something now and then.
"Self-gifting purchases tend to be planned and related to situations such as birthday, Christmas, success or mood state which makes them different from impulsive, compulsive or dysfunctional shopping," Dr Mortimer.
"With compulsive shopping, consumers engage in extensive and informed purchase decisions, however, they lack an ability to control spending and buying.
"These shopper types must purchase every time they go shopping. In the extreme, such shoppers can become hoarders, with purchases remaining unused in boxes or unworn with the tags still on.
"Impulsive shopping, on the other hand, is a little different in that these shoppers make uninformed, irrational purchase decisions. They buy without thinking and have a low-involvement decision making process.
"In contrast, self-gifters relate, rationalise and, to some extent, justify their purchases."
Dr Mortimer is developing a self-gifting consumer behaviour scale base on the seven situations that motivate people to buy themselves a present.
"This scale will enable marketers or retailers to determine their mix of shoppers and tailor appeals that target specific groups. Messages like, 'you deserve it', 'go on, treat yourself today' or 'reward yourself' appeal to those in the market for self-gifting.
"The initial research has found we buy to celebrate, we buy when we are sad, when we are happy, to improve our moods, maintain our mood and to motivate ourselves:
- Reward self-gifting: Purchases are considered a pat-on-the back for achieving a goal or working hard. It's like saying, "well done, me!"
- Personal disappointment self-gifting: Purchases are design to distract us from an unexpected result or outcome. So, if you missed out on that promotion, you may stop on the way home and buy a good bottle of wine.
- Negative mood reduction self-gifting: Unlike personal disappointment, a short term emotion, moods are longer lasting. So, you've had a long difficult week at work, your boss constantly on your back, so you say to yourself, "I need a massage and facial".
- Positive mood maintenance self-gifting: In contrast to reducing the effects of a negative mood, some people will maintain a positive mood. We shop when we are happy. "I've had a great month of sales, relationship is going well, life is good and I deserve a great dinner out with my friends.".
- Motivation self-gifting: Need to get fit for summer, "I'll buy these new joggers and gym equipment and then really knuckle down to get fit.".
- Celebratory self-gifting: "It's my birthday, it's Christmas, I might buy myself a little treat."
- Hedonistic self-gifting: Feeling bored? Go shopping. Seeking out that elusive bargain will provide both excitement and pleasure.

Conservation Status
Orange-breasted Bunting is classified by the IUCN as a bird of Least Concern because it has a large range, its population trend is apparently stable, and its population is above 10,000 individuals (BirdLife International 2012). Parker et al. (1996) gave the bunting a medium conservation priority due to its capture for the cage bird trade.
The modeled distribution of Orange-breasted Bunting includes nine Natural Protected Areas (ANP in Spanish) but the bird has only been found in five of these: Siarra de Manantlan, Chamela-Cuixmala, Sierra de Huatla, Huatulco, and La Sepultura. The area in these reserves considered to be "suitable habitat" is 1183.7 km2, or 0.9% of the birds "adequate" range (Vega Rivera et al. 2008). The bunting has been sighted in eight Important Bird Areas (AICAs in Spanish), increasing the protected/area of concern percentage of the bird's range to 6.4%, but the AICAs are not likely receiving true protection (Vega Rivera et al. 2008). This shows that despite its occurrence in nature reserves, the Orange-breasted Bunting is dependent on suitable habitat found outside of these, particularly if it migrates to intact forest for the breeding season (Vega Rivera et al. 2008). Tropical deciduous forests are often considered endangered worldwide (Vega Rivera et al. 2004), with only 27% of their original coverage left in Mexico by 1990 (Trejo and Dirzo 2000).

Aristophanes' LYSISTRATA
adapted by Lily Riopelle
with songs by Cody Owen Stine
Two Headed Rep @ Temporary Storage Gallery
May 2017
"...Lily Riopelle's adaptation of Aristophanes' Lysistrata is bubbly and buoyant...she beautifully harnesses the talents of all of the players in a production with many moving parts."
– Lisa Huberman, New York Theatre Review
Fed up with a war that's tearing her world apart, Lysistrata leads the women of Greece in a rebellion against the status quo. Or at least, she will lead the women of Greece in a rebellion against the status quo just as soon as they show up to the meeting she worked super hard to organize (seriously, she's not messing around, she even brought snacks). Now if they'd just stop their chit-chatting so she can reveal her grand plan...

The N.C.A.A. has suspended Baylor forward Perry Jones III, one of the nation's top freshmen, for accepting impermissible benefits from his Amateur Athletic Union coach.
The coach, Lawrence Johns, said that he made three payments to Jones's mother, Terri, to help her cover her mortgage two years ago. Johns said the loans, totaling no more than $1,000, were repaid.
"She paid it back," Johns said Wednesday night in a telephone interview. "What was the difference? This was two years ago. It's got nothing to do with it. You know how you ask people to borrow something and they pay back? What's the big deal? I don't get that."
Before Jones's enrollment at Baylor, Johns also paid for Jones's travel to a pro preseason football game in San Diego, according to a statement released by Baylor. Jones's relationship with Johns dates to at least the sixth grade.
The length of the suspension was not specified. Baylor appealed to have Jones's eligibility reinstated.Continue reading the main story
Although the issue was not considered an institutional violation, the N.C.A.A. had been engaged in a wide-ranging investigation of the Baylor program under Coach Scott Drew, who did not return a message left on his cellphone.
"We are profoundly disappointed in the timing and determination in this matter," Athletic Director Ian McCaw said in the statement. "This outcome appears to be inconsistent with other recent, widely discussed N.C.A.A. decisions."
McCaw said that Baylor had cooperated with the N.C.A.A. and that no Baylor representatives were involved in or aware of preferential treatment given to Johns and Jones's family. Johns said that his payments were not connected with Baylor.
The 6-foot-11 Jones, who is from Duncanville, Tex., is considered a top N.B.A. prospect, if he were to declare for the draft. He averaged 13.9 points and 7.2 rebounds for the Bears this season.
Baylor (18-12), which had been hoping some wins in the Big 12 tournament would earn it an at-large bid in the N.C.A.A. tournament, received word of the ruling Wednesday afternoon, hours before its Big 12 opener against Oklahoma in Kansas City, Mo. The short-handed Bears lost to the Sooners, 84-67, a defeat that, combined with Jones's suspension, will most likely lead the N.C.A.A. selection committee to leave Baylor out of the field.
It is not the first issue to surface this season for Baylor. The N.C.A.A. has been investigating the program's recruitment of the Colombian forward Hanner Perea, one of the top prospects in the junior class. And the senior guard LaceDarius Dunn, who in February became the program's career leading scorer, was suspended for the first three games this season after he was charged with felony assault. He was accused of breaking his girlfriend's jaw in September. A grand jury cleared Dunn on March 3.
On the court, Baylor faded down the stretch of a disappointing season. Although the Bears have talent in Dunn and Jones, they have failed to live up to expectations after a trip to the regional final in last year's N.C.A.A. tournament.
L.I.U. WINS NEC TITLE Jamal Olasewere scored 7 of his 31 points in overtime and Long Island University earned its first N.C.A.A. tournament bid in 14 years with an 85-82 overtime victory over Robert Morris in the Northeast Conference championship game.
After Jason Brickman made two free throws with seven seconds left to give top-seeded L.I.U. (27-5) an 85-82 lead, Russell Johnson, who made a late 3-pointer to force overtime, missed two potential tying 3s in the final seconds. (AP) BIG SKY CHAMPIONSHIP Devon Beitzel scored 13 of his 27 points in the final five minutes to help Northern Colorado earn its first N.C.A.A. tournament bid with a 65-60 victory over Montana in Greeley, Colo.

Hey there,
I've been wanting to write to you all for days, but keep running out of steam before I get to it. Or maybe my mind has just been working on what to say? There are too many things...
I've had some ups and downs since I last wrote. It's still difficult for me to process just how physically exhausted I am. Generally, I have 3-5 good hours in me on most days and a little less than that on others. I think I've written before that people say the effects of chemo are cumulative. Amanda, my psychologist/therapist at the cancer center has confirmed what I'm feeling - that it's the exhaustion (fatigue) that people are referring to. I just feel worn out almost all of the time. Amanda says this is the norm and reminds me that this is not just the kind of tired that requires a nap and a good attitude, but that my body is recovering from a systemic assault. That word - systemic - comforts me, justifies what I'm feeling.
When I went into Amanda's office last week, I sat down and said, "I'm a mess." I'd been so anxious - about the scan and whether the chemo did all it was meant to do, but even more about the tidal wave of real life I can see coming at me. I'm this little weakling on the shore and the wall of who-I-was-before is barreling at me with a speed and force I can't control. Amanda told me that this time - the moving out of treatment and beginning to reintegrate into "regular" life while managing my own and other people's expectations for how quickly I "should" bounce back - is one of the hardest parts of coping with cancer and treatment. Many people find this transitional time as hard as the diagnosis/beginning of treatment; some find it harder. Another comfort - it's normal that facing and moving back toward what I used to do/know/be is terrifying.
Aside from all that intensity, you know from my last cooing tiny update about that wonderful wedding I attended, that I've had some good moments too.
The day after the wedding, I saw Ryan Adams perform at the Peabody Opera House. I bought the tickets months ago and, over the course of my chemo treatments, came to think of this concert as my big celebration. So many times, I thought, "After my last chemo, I get to go to the Ryan Adams show!" It was precisely the right number of days after treatment so that I was nearly certain I'd make it. (This hope was complicated by the fact that I missed two other concerts this summer because of cancer treatment issues.) I'm usually always listening to music - around the house, in the car - but since my diagnosis, all I've been drawn to is Ryan Adams's album Ashes & Fire; many of the songs resonate, but the one that has really hit me is "Lucky Now." Like I think of the Emily Dickinson reflecting pool by the cancer center as "my place" for this time, "Lucky Now" has become my song for grieving an old me and thinking about the future. Anyway, I really, really hoped he'd play my song at the show!
The day of the concert, I actually spent 45 minutes creating a twitter account just so I could maybe try to tweet a song request. I totally chickened out. I decided to put my request out to the Universe instead, sending hopeful thoughts throughout the day. So, I'm at the show and it's great and I'm excited and enjoying myself. The music is awesome; Ryan Adams is funny and charming. After the first four songs or so, I stopped my constant wishing for that one song and sunk into just having a good time. So many songs I knew, such a good vibe. Loved it. Then, maybe a little over halfway through, the band left the stage so only Ryan was there. I figured this was where he'd do a tiny acoustic set, maybe two or three songs, before the band came back. He's at the mic in the middle of this big, decorated, lit-up stage and he starts to strum and I think maybe... Abruptly, he stops playing and walks over to the very far edge where the stage juts just a bit into the crowd. The lights go down on the main stage and there he is standing alone in front of a single microphone all strung up with white twinkle lights. He starts to play and... it's what I hoped! When he's done, he goes back to the main stage, the band returns, and then they're rockin' again. One song. The one I wanted. And illuminated by twinkle lights. I know that wasn't just for me, but it sure felt like it. Magic.
I know some of you remember this classic line from the first episode of My So-Called Life: "You're so beautiful, it hurts to look at you." Last week, I met Shawnessey for a tour of the Botanical Garden. When I arrived, she was sitting out front with a wheelchair for me. Since I hadn't seen the garden before, she wanted me to experience the whole of it without getting too tired to enjoy it. The wheelchair was a blessing because, honestly, just getting myself ready and to the garden that day had worn me out. I willingly submitted to riding and was quiet for the first little while as Shawnessey pushed me down paths and I got used to this moment in my life. The moment when, after being alone and mostly quiet inside my apartment for days, I came out and took a seat and here was all of this wonder. (How is it that I'd never visited the garden before?) Something about me being in a wheelchair and that day feeling so... unabashedly, adolescently fresh brought tears to my eyes. This was a moment so beautiful, it hurt to look at it. I fell in love with the garden, but maybe also with an imagination of going back someday when things are in bloom, and I can feel the muscles in my legs as I walk and walk and walk.
I'm starting to feel more positive about not just the CT scan scheduled for Thursday, but the future. I'm excited to live more and write more and travel more and love people more. I want to have so many chances to be more of who I am. But I'm nervous too. Your peaceful vibes and prayers - always welcome - will be much appreciated on Thursday morning, and again on Tuesday morning when I talk to my doctor about the results. I'll fill you in as soon as I know anything.
For now, I'll thank the heavens for live music and and fall and hope and people just like you.

RIISE is thrilled to be working with Catalyst to make test prep fun! We hope your college bound student checks out what makes Catalyst POPular!
What is Catalyst
Catalyst is providing a refreshing approach to preparing for the SAT and ACT. By infusing their curriculum with humor and pop culture references, students remain engaged and motivated during a very stressful time. The SAT and ACT are notoriously boring exams, but learning to ace them doesn't have to be. The curriculum developers at take the actual SAT and ACT every time they're given to gain insider knowledge of these exams, and we pass our expertise to students with patience, understanding, and a welcome sprinkling of humor and creativity. Catalyst is so unique that they have been featured in TIME and CNBC. So, can you really learn something by keeping up with the Kardashians?
Who is Saxonny? What kind of name is that?
The Manager of School Partnerships, Saxonny Rich (more on the name and how important education is to Saxonny's mom in another post), is thrilled to be partnering with RIISE. She is responsible for introducing Catalyst's creative, non-stress-inducing approach to exam preparation to students throughout New York City. Prior to Catalyst, she was a middle and high school math teacher. Born and raised in Buffalo, she has made her way from Harlem to the Upper West Side, and is now nestled in at home in Fort Greene, which she claims has incredible restaurants. Aside from her "day job", Saxonny was honored to be a Council of Urban Professionals (CUP) Fellow and is a founding member of All Star Code. She understands the importance of students having access to educational opportunities in order to reach their goals and is committed to helping families as they navigate the college admissions process. Saxonny is having a blast working with families around New York and is looking forward to the first ever RIISE/Catalyst event happening on Saturday, November 22nd.
Wait. What's happening on November 22nd?
SAT Mock Test, Candid Conversation, and Pizza.
Sitting for an SAT mock test is a great opportunity for juniors and seniors to simulate the testing experience in a proctored setting. The SAT is…wait for it…3.75 hours long, that's 3 hours and 45 minutes, but we know you already know that. That's a long time to be sitting, and thinking, and sweating, and thinking so this is a great opportunity to have that experience and receive feedback in a non-punitive way. Some parents are saying, why isn't my freshman or sophomore invited? By all means, they're certainly welcome to attend but be aware that with the changes occurring to the SAT in 2016, this isn't the same test that they'll be taking. Ok, back to the agenda. After the mock test, on the same day, there will be an open discussion around parental concerns including when students should begin prepping for college admissions exams. At a later date, RIISE and Catalyst will host a "Score Back Night" where the mock test scores will be shared with families, additional details forthcoming.

A major mortgage insurance company has lowered the threat level for Dallas-Fort Worth's housing market.
Arch Mortgage Insurance Co.'s just-released housing report says the area now has a "minimal" risk of home price declines.
In 2016, the same insurer warned that D-FW had a "moderate" risk of home price softening.
Now only Fort Lauderdale and Nashville are rated as home markets with a moderate risk of home price declines.
Austin was given a "low" risk of negative home price adjustments.
With home prices in North Texas up more than 40 percent in the last four years, several analysts have red-flagged the local housing market for unsustainable price increases.
New York-based Fitch Ratings says home prices in the D-FW area are 10 percent to 14 percent higher than what's sustainable, according to its latest report.
Arch Mortgage Insurance gives Texas cities only an 8 percent chance of home price drops.
"Overall, risk remains low in the top 50 metros," Arch Mortgage Insurance analysts say. "While home prices are increasing in every state, the recovery has been uneven, with 14 states still below their prior peaks.
"On the flip side, about 10 percent of U.S. metros are red-hot, with prices 20 percent or higher than their prior peak. "
D-FW prices have risen about 11 percent in the last year, according to the mortgage insurance firm.
"People waiting for home prices to fall before buying may want to change their strategy, as the overall housing market is expected to stay strong for the foreseeable future," said Ralph G. DeFranco, global chief economist of mortgage services of Arch Capital Services Inc. "Our research shows no housing bubble is forming in the United States, with prices overall near historic norms compared to incomes."
Prices in North Texas are more than 30 percent overvalued, Arch estimates.
Even so, the North Carolina-based company considers D-FW one of the nation's hottest housing markets.
"Texas' business-friendly and low tax policies are attracting large inflows of businesses," Arch Mortgage Insurance's report says. "Given the positive fundamentals, prices are more likely to continue going up rather than fall back to past levels of affordability."

How IP Phones Work
Posted on Aug 29, 2012 in voip by Broadview Networks
Learn How IP Phones Work for Your Business
Broadview Networks' OfficeSuite service is a cloud-based phone solution that provides small and medium-sized businesses with an enterprise-grade phone system and service, typically without any capital investment or increased support staff.
The solution includes phones and all the network services that support voice and Internet access services. But many people ask how IP phones work.
How does an IP phone work
IP phones work similarly to traditional phone systems, but instead of using a traditional phone line and phone network, our system uses Internet Protocol (IP) and your local area network (LAN) to move your calls and other information across your own office network and your phone provider's network. This is the same network and protocol used by your computers, printers and other devices. This makes it far more efficient as you and your IT staff only need to operate and maintain one internal network for all communications – likely the same one you have today.
With OfficeSuite, Broadview takes it one step further and hosts the phone system in the cloud so there is nothing new to store, cool, or manage in your office. All of the system hardware and maintenance is done by professionals, freeing your staff for more strategic projects.
This is not how IP phones work from most providers.
Unlike traditional and other IP phone systems where the system intelligence is in your telecom closet or in the phones, the intelligence of the OfficeSuite system is in our cloud-based system.
OfficeSuite's IP phones simply take your voice, digitize it and then send the call and some other information as data through your local network to our servers hosted in a secure data center within our carrier-grade network. Then we take the calls to their final destination – the person you called.
Between your employees' (users) phones and the core phone network is the OfficeSuite web site that gives your system administrators and your employees direct control over the system and their phones, whether they are in or out of the office. Employees can quickly and easily set preferences, enable features and make real-time changes without any maintenance contract, additional charges or lengthy delays. Gone are the days when IT staff or employees have to know how IP phones work.
Within each business location, a person or small group of people are identified as system administrators. For most customers, administrators are usually the office manager, receptionist or the same person who made the decision to buy OfficeSuite. Companies with I.T. staff can also utilize these resources, but, unlike many other systems, advanced training is not required to manage the system.
System administrators can easily manage the day-to-day changes to the overall OfficeSuite environment. Administrators can quickly add and remove users or locations with just a few mouse clicks. These users also create and edit group profiles that establish the company rules for how and when certain groups within the company can access services and features, like long distance and international calls.
Hopefully this answers the question, "How does an IP phone work."

This account of the pursuit of a real-life serial killer in Hungary during the Communist era is phenomenally nasty and downbeat. It works better as a study of the period than it does as a thriller.

My garage sale pricing is not going so well. I did spend one entire day pulling things out of the storage room and marking them, but I'm only about half done. Plus, I still have plans to comb the house. We are getting to crunch time. I need to be done by tomorrow. Thursday my son has baseball games and I need to set up. It will get done, even if I have to stay up late. Right now? I have another card to share with you!
When free time is in short supply, a card CASE (Copy And Share with Everyone) can be the perfect way to have a little fun!. Show CASE
is my personal attempt to have that time for stamping, without of the pressure to create something totally original. I want to pay tribute to the many talented stampers out in the blogosphere that are so inspiring to me. I hope you enjoy seeing my "take" on their creation.
Today's card is from Connie @ Inkspired Treasures
My changes:
Lovely Lilac, A Non-SU purple, Orchid Opulence, Garden Green, Night of Navy, Confetti White

A New Meaning to the Phrase 'Food for Thought' (postscript… a long one =b)
Looking at my list of Baguio restaurants to try, I noticed that there were two establishments that escaped being placed in the Food for Thought ( a.k.a. think before you eat there) category blogs.

6 Things Everyone Should Do Alone At Least Once
There's a lot of joy and satisfaction to be found when you challenge yourself to do something totally by yourself.
We as human beings are social creatures, so it makes sense that most of the fun activities we do in life we choose to enjoy with other people. But there is a certain freedom and pleasure in doing a lot of things totally on your own. Whether it's some feat to accomplish or an activity to experience, it's important to try those things by yourself at least once. You get to be a little selfish by doing only what you want to do and doing it when and where you want to. And you end up learning more about yourself and what you actually enjoy by experiencing things without anyone else's reactions influencing you. They might intimidate you, and some might be things you already do alone, but below are 6 things everyone should do by themselves at least once in their lifetime.
Eat at a New Restaurant
Going out to a restaurant or bar alone can be pretty intimidating—mostly because everyone else there will know you're alone and you might be self-conscious of what they're thinking about the solo diner across the room. Truth is, if they did notice you're alone, they probably are impressed by the confidence you're exuding. So treat yourself to a nice meal at that restaurant you've been wanting to try. Take a book or a crossword puzzle, or just soak up the delicious food without any distractions.
Do a Home Improvement Project
If you're not typically the DIY type, this is a good challenge and way to learn something new. Instead of calling a handyman or enlisting the help of your handy brother for your next project around the house, actually do it yourself. Whether it's painting a room, hanging shelves, or starting a vegetable garden, finishing the task will leave you feeling independent and extremely accomplished—and likely ready to take on more.
WATCH: Hanging Photo Display
Hike a Mountain
Any physical challenge is very satisfying to master on your own, but hiking also allows you to check out from whatever stress and anxiety you may have in your daily life and just take a break to be at peace in nature.
Go to the Movies
Going to the movies is already a fairly solitary experience (as long as you aren't near anyone who thinks it's okay to talk through the movie) but it's normally something we do with other people anyway. There are some nice perks of going alone though: no compromising on what you want to see, you don't have to share any concessions, and it's a lot easier to find a single seat where you want.
Enroll in a Class
Whether it's a new hobby or a subject you're just interested in learning more about, taking a class is a great thing to try on your own. Take a pottery class, French lessons, a dance class—the options are endless. And even if you're someone who didn't love school, there's a lot of joy to be found in learning something new that you're actually excited about.
Take a Trip
This is a big one that can be a bit scary, but traveling alone can be extremely gratifying. Whether it's a weekend road trip to a part of the South you haven't seen before or a 10-day vacation to Europe, relying only on yourself to do the planning and make arrangements is a worthwhile challenge. And again, getting to be selfish with your plans means only doing the sight-seeing you're interested in. Plus, you never know who you'll meet along the way.

It's Gone
A simple thing, another spring
and you were there to share my empty bed
But now I see you played with me
I can't believe I heard the words you said
It's gone
Now you're crying shame, you curse my name
For askin' you to go you throw me to the wolves
But wasn't it clear the end was here?
And we were bein' sentimental fools
It's gone
Remember that day in the sun,
The lake reflecting gold
Walk behind the waterfall, I hold you
And what would we have done
If the future could be told?
The sun was goin' down and it was cold
It was cold
Nothin's free for you or me
I know about the pain, it's mainly in your head
But at the start it was your heart
The night you came to share my empty bed
It's gone

Tuscan Garden Patios are extremely widespread lately and there are such a lot of concepts to help create one. If the funds permits for this, having wainscoting can divide the room into a large golden rectangle. You may also choose the wallpaper of these shades, barely smoky – this will mute the brightness of the colors and bring tenderness within the white lounge designs. Mirrors will not be solely good for decorating small areas, but they can be used for feng shui functions (especially within the dining room and front room). A living room ought to be brilliant and have all the comfortable and bright colours seen. Shiny colors or coloured patterns visually narrow the boundaries of a small room.
And on the noticeboard, I've a cardboard base pinned (from an outdated Amazon parcel wrap), with paper sheets pinned on prime and a pencil on a chunk of string, so if I'm pacing the room and have a sudden inspiration, I haven't got to take a seat down – there's pencil and paper already obtainable to draw or jot down a thought or diagram. It has ambient light sensors that robotically alter to the quantity of sunshine within the room which makes it good for low lit workplaces and people who find themselves on their computer on into the evening.
Turn a craft hutch right into a intelligent craft provide organizer that is already fully equipped with all the things it's essential to organize and retailer practically each kind of craft provide you can think of. These are nice for small areas, tight areas or those who don't have the area for a standard craft room design. From preprinted wallpaper and borders to stencils and even actual balls and different gear, decorating the room is a snap.
I also found that there are great ideas posted on-line (check Pinterest) for hacking IKEA furniture pieces and creating even higher functional individualized items. By no means heard about them earlier than but they sure sound like an ideal idea – even in cases when someone wants to remodel a glance of the room quickly. However you may obtain a blended look with relative ease in the event you plan it your design out rigorously. Make a design for a vacation, birthday, baby shower or one thing of just because.
Even when you are going to end up hiring an inside designer or guide, you are going to want to perform a little research and perceive who you or the individual relations are as far as design needs go, in order to make the suitable decisions and modifications. The plushy furs or down-crammed pillows, the smoothness of finely sanded wood, all types of considerations are included in creating the cozy and cozy surroundings of a Scandinavian styled room. If you are an architect or builder, you will have to design flooring with a hundred% accuracy.

As a family destination, the world's oldest open-air museum does not disappoint! Phonetic Planet took a trip to Stockholm, where they spent a memorable day sampling many aspects of Sweden's unique traditions in a fabulous outdoor setting.
Välkommen till Skansen!
If you have been considering a trip to northern Europe with children, we can recommend this beautiful spot without hesitation. Easily accessible from Stockholm's city center, Skandsen entices the visitor who appreciates fresh air and ample space for relaxed, individualized exploration. In a natural oasis that offers year-round programming to reflect seasonal changes and traditional holidays, it is possible to experience music, folklore and Sweden's historic farming tradition as well as walking trails, regional cuisine and opportunities to engage in hands-on learning.
Options abound here! With careful planning, you can customize your visit to enrich a few short hours (although we guarantee that an entire day can fly by in this special place). It is also possible to purchase a two-day pass, which might be useful if you are visiting around particular holidays. Midsummer, for example, is an ideal time to visit; this year's programming (from June 22-24) features wreath making and dancing around the Maypole, to live music, until the late night hours. Now, doesn't that sound tempting? For winter entertainment, there are daily skating lessons and ski sleds to complement the traditional holiday celebrations.
This park offers the availability of baby strollers for rent, which is helpful if you are hoping to explore as much as you can of the 75 acre area. It is also wheelchair accessible, and offers wheelchairs free of charge to those in need. There are plenty of places in which to sit and take a break when hunger strikes. Bring your own picnic if you choose to do so, although you may just find yourself caving in to the temptation of one or two of those charming little tea shops that you might meet along the way…..
Skansen was opened in October 1891 as a means of showcasing the way of life in different parts of Sweden before the onset of the industrial age. As a living history museum, it presents not only farm life but also a full replica of a 19th century town, complete with bakers, glass-blowers and shoemakers.
There is also a small open-air zoo, where visitors can get a good look at many species native to Scandinavia, including wolf, moose, lynx and grey seal. Oh, did we mention the reindeer? Yes, there are several. Contrary to what we had been thinking, we discovered that there are no wild reindeer in Sweden. Rather, the herds that exist in the Swedish mountains belong to about ten percent of the Sami population, an indigenous minority who have legal right to herding them for cultural and political reasons. We have to admit that attending an information session on these beautiful animals was one of the highlights of our trip!
Many of the information sessions are provided in English as well as in Swedish, by the way. The entire property is tastefully arranged to entice rather than to overwhelm. Our visit did include a stop at the gift shop, which offered a wide selection of traditional crafts and a wonderful array of children's books for all reading levels.
Learn more at http://www.skansen.se/en/ where you will see why we hope to make a return trip to this beautiful spot!

Q. Are oral plaque, coronary vessel plaque and eye plaque the same substance?
A. Coronary plaque and eye plaque are directly related, while oral plaque is a different entity, said Dr. Holly S. Andersen, director of education and outreach for the Ronald O. Perelman Heart Institute at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
The kind of plaque that causes atherosclerosis is "a soft, yellow, greasy gruel that is made up of a combination of cholesterol, fat and inflammatory cells that circulate in your bloodstream," Dr. Andersen said. It can rupture and cause a heart attack or stroke.
Eye plaque is a cholesterol-filled embolus, or bubble, that breaks off from an atherosclerotic plaque elsewhere and lodges in a small blood vessel in the retina. "It shows that you have significant plaque buildup and have already had a partial plaque rupture," Dr. Andersen said.
Oral or dental plaque, also yellow, is a film made up of colonies of bacteria, proteins, sugars and salts, she said. Excessive buildup allows for acid production, which can lead to tooth decay, gum inflammation, and tooth loss.
Studies link poor dental hygiene to higher risks of heart disease, Dr. Andersen said. The explanation probably has to do with inflammation produced by the plaque, which is known to contribute to atherosclerosis, and possibly with direct damage from the bacteria and toxins released into the blood.

Greetings from HARENOHI Yokohama Counter.
How have you been?
Festive season is just around the corner!
We're so excited these days (^0^)
Today, we would like to introduce you to a beautiful wedding ceremony held at
「伊勢山皇大神宮 Iseyama-Kotai-jingu」!
The bride and groom were so relaxed all the time .
It looked like we were more excited than they were.
The star of this day was,,,,
the groom, who was from a small beautiful country called Malta!
Have you heard of the country?
It is located in the Mediterranean Sea, it's getting more and more popular for tourist every year.
Look at him in 紋付袴 Montsuki-hakama!
It perfectly suited him (^.^)
Can you see his family crest on his kimono?
It was his actual family crest of his home in Malta!
He'd sent us a picture of it, and luckily it wasn't too complicated,
and we managed to make the special European family crest for him!
Another star of this day was,,,,
This lovely lady (*^.^)/
The 白無垢 shiromuku(White kimono for brides)
with essence of red was so sweet on her!
The beautiful head piece in the picture was made of Maltese silver!
To our surprise, it was made by the groom! for this special day!
( Sorry there is no nice photo to see it clearly!)
It was so detailed and delicate!
How nice! Amazing work!!
They moved to a waiting after they got all ready for the ceremony.
During the rehearsal, he read the vow in front of guests,
and he did it perfectly in spite of it's difficult Japanese.
「おめでとう Omedetou!」(Congratulations!)
There was a family came to see the groom from Yamaguchi prefecture.
He looked so happy to see them (^^)
After the ceremony, they had a photo and video shooting time!
Since the family of the groom couldn't attend the wedding,
they ordered a video shooting to show it to his family in Malta.
The ceremony was smoothly concluded.
Then it moves to fun and relaxed dinner time with guests
at a Japanese restaurant 大志満 横浜店 Oshima Yokohama.
The dishes were so presented with pretty plates, boxes and decorations!
Even this flowers!
…no, it's not flowers, some of them were made of vegetables
such as pumpkin, radish, turnip and burdock♪
Thank you Oshima Yokohama for your hospitality(^^)
It was a great surprise to them!
They spent a tasty dishes and fun time there.
And, here it comes !(^.^) the wedding cake ceremony time!
First bite given from the groom to the bride to promise him that she will always cook and prepare tasty dishes for him (^^)
Then another bite from the bride to the groom(using a bigger spoon for the groom!) to promise her he will work hard for her not to have any difficulties with food.
They look so nice! You can't wait to have it, can you (^.^)?
The shiromuku suited her very well, but her in this black 本振袖 Honfurisode※
with sakura pattern looked great too( >▽<)b
※Honfurisode:Kimono for brides. It's thinner than shiromuku or irouchikake. Traditionally its colour is black, however there is a variety of colours nowdays.
Once again, congratulations to you both, the lovely couple!
Thank you so much for letting us support your special day.
We were so glad that you and all the guests looked so happy and enjoying the time together on your wedding day.
We wish you a long lasting, happy married life☆☆☆
☆It would be highly appreciated if you could give us "LIKE"
on our Facebook page! Thank you!☆

Hello, how are you everyone?
From Yokohama counter, which was opened just a few months ago,
I would like to introduce you to a shrine, 鶴岡八幡宮 Tsurugaoka-hachimangu today.
It's one of the most famous shrines in Japan as you may know.
There are always many visitors coming from other countries.
It's located in the central Kamakura and surrounded by mountains on three sides.
It is said that people who were born in this area should visit and pray from this shrine first.
It is considered one of the three great Hachimangu shrines in Japan.
The place where wedding couples have their ceremony is
the red colored kagura(Dance and music) hall.
The contrast with the green of trees and blue sky is
just so splendid and gorgeous!!
About the wedding ceremony,
the procession starts from a waiting room with solemn atmosphere,
then the couple and attendants forward to the blight open air kagura hall to have the ceremony.
Kamakura? It's quite far from Tokyo, isn't it?
You might think like this.
But actually it's only one hour from Tokyo station and
only 26 minutes from Yokohama station by train!
In addition, you don't need to stop or change a train!
Also it would be nice to have a kind of sightseeing experience together
for people living a bit far from this area.
They can enjoy wedding and sightseeing at once!
The shrine is located near the sea,
so it could be Seaside Japanese Wedding?
It is nice to have your wedding close to your home,
But how about considering having your wedding ceremony
at a place where you don't usually visit?
It would be nice too!2016年8月13日 6:21 PM
Hello everyone from Fukuoka Bridal Salon.
I feel like the rainy season has passed
and Summer has already come in Fukuoka.
In this hot weather,
I visited 竃門神社Kamado-Shrine and 太宰府天満宮Dazaifu-tenmangu
and there was a beautiful exhibition of Shrine × Flower Art !!
The exhibition was held by the flower artist from Denmark,
Mr. Nicolai Bergmann collaborated with the two shrines.
There were so many visitors to see the exhibition.
The exhibition is until June 12th, 2016.
The fresh green turns to deep green during this season,
you would be healed by seeing these colorful flower art × shrine.
Why don't you visit the shrines to see the arts?6:13 PM
Hello everyone.
Today, I would like to show you Happy Wedding Pictures♡,
but I focus on showing you the pictures which weren't taken during the ceremony!
An attractive point of having a Japanese style wedding is the natural light of the sun
which is not able to be made in a studio.
Firstly,,, dressing scene.
Then, a picture with wataboushi (white hat for bride) and
western style hair set.
After the ceremony….
Without wataboushi!
Moreover, she changed the white kimono
to colored kimono and added some more head piece.
Until around this time, t
hey got used to the photo shoot and,
including us, we spoke to each other and we all had a fun time!
And lastly, they changed to western style dress and tuxedo.
Dress and tuxedo at a shrine.
Don't you think it's also nice?
After this, they finally moved to their party venue with their friends.
The meetings with the warm couple were always fun…..
I will surely miss you.
But I do hope to see you at Hiraoka-Shrine by chance one day!
Thank you so much for devoting your time to us!
Once again from the bottom of my heart,
Greetings from HARENOHI Tokyo Bridal Salon.
How have you been?
It's been such nice weather here in Tokyo lately!
Today, we would like to tell you about a beautiful wedding ceremony held at
「湯島天満宮 Yushima-Tenmangu」!
The bride and groom were so relaxed all the time from the moment
when they started their hair and makeup until even the time of the wedding ceremony.
紋付袴 The Montsuki Hakama,
a Japanese traditional wedding kimono for the groom, perfectly suited him!
We were jealous of his tall and slender figure (^.^)
They were speaking in both English and Japanese.
During the photo shoot
and the explanation of the ceremony from the staff of the shrine,
the bride kindly translated for the groom.
The scene was so impressive to us…(*´ω`*)
It was a holiday, there were many visitors at the shrine!
「おめでとう Omedetou」(Congratulations)
We heard congratulatory words from everywhere!
A special privilege of having a wedding ceremony here is,,,,
A photo shoot in the beautiful garden!
(Only wedding couples are allowed to come inside the garden!)
We always take lots of pictures when we visit there.
Everyone was smiling(*^_^*)!
Their warm smiles cheered me up.
Once again, congratulations to you both, the beautiful couple!
We wish you a long lasting, happy married life.

Yesterday, our baby turned three. I am still trying to grasp that one. It just doesn't seem possible that three years have gone by so quickly.
Things were kind of low key since it was Thursday and everyone wasn't around to whoop it up.
Grammy and Pop Pop got her a scooter.
Since she is three, it made perfect sense to ride it in the kitchen and carry it past any obstacles.
Also, it wasn't light out yet, since we work the swing shift around here and got up at 4:43am.
Coffee is my best friend, people.
Our other big news is that the butterflies hatched. We checked them the other day, and low and behold, a few of the little guys were fluttering around in their habitat!
Famous Baby C waving goodbye to the butterflies.
I won't lie, I was in tears at this point. She did this all on her own and it was just so damn sweet. She really is like Snow White with her love of animals of all kinds.
She just kills me. She can be a total nightmare and then she does something like this and I just lose it.
The last one to hatch.
And after a quick snack of orange juice, they were gone.
Mr. Smith thought it was appropriate to let them go on her birthday and I agreed.
I am pretty sad they are gone though. It was amazing to watch them go through the whole process.
I can't recommend it highly enough. The kids were both so fascinated with the whole thing and checked their progress every day.

Whatever you call your lot, they're yours. And they make life just that bit better.
They say a problem shared is a problem halved. Well with them, it's not just halved, it's solved (or occasionally made worse...)
We've brewed a beer meant for sharing. It was brewed to share with our favourite people. And we hope you get to share it with yours.
So gather your friends and raise a toast your tribe.
Yes. It's a Totem Pole. But fear not, Totem Poles are not religious but they are revered. In the most part, they tell stories. These may be a myth, a legend, or honour indigenous people through symbols. Our totem is based on the Kwakwaka'wakw tribe. This is a tribe made up of smaller tribes who come together in celebration. A tribe who believe the richest people are those who gives away the most.
Our totem pole is made up of four faces, Thunderbird, Frog, Leopard, Giantess.
Each face to us represents an important part of the modern tribe. Read more below:
Power and strength. A leader amongst its peers.
The one that somehow manages to get everyone together. The modern Thunderbird doesn't except an excuse. Need to borrow a tenner? Here's £20.
The key name in the group. If they're up for a pint, everyone is.
Wisdom, knowledge and adaptability.
The ability to make sure everything is always sorted. The taxi-booker and the pub-crawl planner.
Nothing is an issue with your frog.
They say a leopard never changes its spots. No matter where you go, what you do, your leopard will always be there.
Confidence is key with this character. No matter of wealth will change this cat.
The old native American tale tells off a young child bullied for being different, but when the village children were captured by the giantess, the child who was bullied was able to escape through a small hole and alert the village.
Banter is all well and good, but always look after your friends.

Slide the City | Salt Lake City
Slide the City | Salt Lake City
It. Was. Freaking. Amazing.
We got there an hour early because we thought parking would be crazy and we didn't pick up our packets ahead of time like we were told too. Luckily, because we were early, it didn't matter that we drove to the wrong place to pick up our packets, plus we got a SWEET parking spot. Always go early friends, the parking gods will smile upon you.
Anyways, we are about to show you a large amount of photos with lots of hot pink tubes.
See, we signed up for the 9am-11am slot, thinking it would be less crowded. It was for sure the best time to pick! Or so we thought.
I think there were maybe 50 of us, but around 9:30 we were all still standing in line...and waiting.
So we took more photos.
Around 10:00 there was some grumbling, stomachs and mouths.
Around 10:15 we were doing all we could to keep the kids and ourselves happy. We were getting hot and hangry! Luckily, Slide the City passed out some granola bars and water.
Finally!!! IT WAS TIME! We aren't exactly sure what held everything up, but they gave all the riders like 4 or 5 extra slides for the long wait. TOTALLY WORTH WAITING! Especially for some of the people who only paid for 1 slide!
1,000 feet of slippery-sliding-bliss! I tell you, Slip 'n' Sliding has been a big tradition growing up. I thought we were intense with our 100 foot slide with multiple sprinklers, but this takes the cake.
We didn't hear a single complaint about having to climb the 1,000 feet back UP the hill to the top. Well, maybe there was, but it was me. Hey, I have had a cold for the last week...funny how 1 week of sickness totally takes away weeks of working out.
So much happiness.
The view was AMAZING. You could see all of Salt Lake City from the top of Main Street.
Of course, we had to do a large group. We found that the kids would get stuck and stop midway. (Which is never a fun/safe thing when adults are blasting by on their tubes.) So if we all linked together we could actually make it the whole way down. There were probably 10 different people stationed along the whole slide to supervise everything or give you a push if you needed some more speed.
At the bottom of the hill there was some walking.
Towards noon there was a noticeable amount of people. The line also got super long but it was pretty fast.
After our runs were out, (boo) we decided to grab some grub. Slide the City thought of everything! Food Trucks for some grub and The Photo Bus (below) was there to take free photo booth photos!
I can't even tell you how Stephanie and I have wanted to see this Photo Bus in real life. All our dreams came true the sunny Saturday.
Pyromaniacs Pizza Food Truck
We decided pizza was needed!
Because wood fire pizza doesn't get much better than this.
I really love the wood fire pizza because they aren't as greasy as normal pizza. These guys were delish!
Try the Thai-Peanut Chili Chicken (without cheese is even better!) with fresh bean sprouts. MMMMMmm.
The kids loved the classic cheese and pepperoni pizza of course.
Also, the Bonfire Brownie is delish.
Rita's Ice Food Truck
Breckyn seems to have an eye for finding ice cream of any kind.
After Sliding the City and Grubbin on some killer wood stove Pizza, the kids were begging for ice cream. Luckily Ritas has a food truck! And they just happened to be at the Slides.
I wish we had a Ritas Ice Cream truck that drove around the hood when we were little. Can you even imagine how cool that would be.
We sent the kids over to pick out their desired treat of choice.
Breckyn got key lime Italian ice, and everyone else got Ritas most popular treat, The Gelati, which is basically a layering of Italian ice topped with creamy Frozen Custard.
Because sometimes its just to hard to pick just one.
This was the perfect way to end our summer!
Phew! You stayed until the end? Well, good because we have something JUST AS amazing as Slide the City this week. We are giving away 4 passes (2 adult and 2 children for Friday September 11th) for The Lantern Fest & a Gift Card to Pyromaniacs Pizza! Winners will be picked and e-mailed directly. Contest Ends August 29th at Midnight.
To enter for The Lantern Fest tickets, comment below.
To enter for the Pyromaniacs Pizza, follow the instructions on The Salt Project Instagram Account!
Visitor Info
Ways to make Slide the City ROCK!
- Make sure you sign up next year for SURE!
- Come early.
- Get your packets ahead of time somehow, or come an hour early like we did.
- There were three different packages, choose the one that fits your budget, but really, you're going to want to go multiple times. I can't even imagine just going down once!
- Everyone gets some kind of SWAG!
- We brought kids agest 6 -12. We saw some younger kids and it's probably not the best idea. There is no stopping on the slides if you've got speed and we saw many children flying from collisions. (We know from experience.)
- Don't bring the animal tubes, they don't go as fast and ended up just being annoying. Normal tubes are best. Or buy on from Slide the City.
Bring some shade, take your time.
- While people signed up for specific times, we saw people bring chairs, canopies and just camp out watching the fun.
- Bring water.
- Bring sunscreen.
- Wear shoes that won't fall off. We lost many shoes our first run and then just ditched them at the car.
- If The Photo Bus is there chances are you can get a free photo!

When I was young
the shadow he cast was long.
When I was afraid.
In his shadow I could be brave.
Walking together
watching his shadow by mine.
I yearned for the time
like his my shadow would be long.
As the fledgling finally
flies alone from the nest.
To step away from his shadow
my time came.
One day long after
my child at my side.
Two shadows I saw.
One long joined one small.
In my thoughts
I reflected to when
the longer shadow.
My father cast.
I realized
the time had come.
The father's shadow
now my shadow.
