|TV Channel
Tennis, NBC
Rafael Nadal and Richard Gasquet meet in the third round of the 2018 tennis French Open.
Rafael Nadal is coming off a straight sets win over Guido Pella that took 22 games to decide. In the victory, Nadal won 85 percent of his first serve points and 65 percent of his second serve points. Nadal lost just five of 34 first set points and wasn't broken once in his second round victory. Nadal can still clean up his unforced errors and be a little sharper with his second serve, but that's being a little picky with the French Open favorite. Nadal is simply steamrolling the competition and is showing no signs of slowing down. Nadal hopes to make the fourth round of a grand slam for his seventh straight appearance. Nadal has lost in the third round of the French Open just once in his career. Nadal has won 10 of his last 11 matches on clay court.
Richard Gasquet is coming off a four sets win over Malek Jaziri that took 32 games to decide. In the victory, Gasquet won 79 percent of his first serve points and 57 percent of his second serve points. Gasquet got 69 percent of his first serves in play and hit five aces, a formula that would allow him to compete in this match if he can continue. Gasquet needs as many free points as possible to hang in this match and get a rhythm going, as Nadal isn't giving away anything easy. Gasquet has 31 career wins over top-10 players, but only three of those have come since 2016. Gasquet hopes to make the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time since the 2016 Wimbledon. Gasquet has split his last eight matches on clay court.
These two have played 16 times and Nadal has won 15 of those meetings. The most recent match was in the 2017 Cincinnati Masters, a match Nadal won in straight sets. Gasquet's only win over Nadal came in 2003 challenger play, the first ever meeting.
As if betting against Nadal wasn't an option before, he's now getting a guy he hasn't lost to in 15 straight meetings. Nadal is also 6-0 against Gasquet on clay court.
Nadal makes the fourth round of the French Open.

Everything that is made is the result of design. Whether whittling a tent stake or planning a cathedral, artists face questions of size, materials, and shape.

34 Unexpected Winter Wedding Invitations
If you've chosen a winter wedding date, you likely love the season, and you're excited to share your choice with your family and friends. A great way to tip them off is by mailing them festive wedding invitations, but tread lightly before you pick your design. While wintry wedding stationery is appealing, including too many seasonal details can push your suite over the edge. To set the scene for your winter wedding, try sending invitations that speak to the weather change, but don't necessarily shout "'tis the season." Don't know how to pull that off? We've got some great ideas.
For an original take on seasonal stationery, focus on smaller things that represent the time of year, rather than plastering your paper goods with snowmen and snowflakes. Iridescent text gives a subtle nod to the sparkling snow, as do mostly-white color palettes. Winter motifs are also fair game—wreath illustrations look lovely as part of a custom crest or monogram, and holly berries make for pretty illustrated accents. If your wedding's destination is someplace seasonal, like a ski lodge, you can reference that in your design too.
To see all of these ideas brought to life and plenty more creative options for your winter wedding invitations, check out this list. It's sure to get you inspired before you select your own invites. Just remember, you picked your date for a reason—these are genius ways to show your guests why.
Mirrored Invitations
Shiny details and pretty bows were creative additions to these simple gray invitations, which were designed by Elins Art Studio.
Postcard Invitations
This couple looked to vintage ski posters and postcards to design a custom stationery suite with Wouldn't It Be Lovely.
Illustrated Invites
Sweet illustrations of berries and more defined this stationery suite by Wald und Schwert.
Calligraphed Invitations
Darling and Pearl designed this letterpressed stationery suite. The envelope liner had pops of gold, the stamps were vintage, and the calligraphy was warm and gorgeous, lending a distinctly wintry vibe to the suite.
Festive Invites
This bride and groom chose to have their wedding details surrounded by a festive wreath on their Minted invitations.
Custom Invitations
This bride designed her stationery suite with the help of Sas-E Ink. She also designed the custom logo on the circular save-the-dates. Before mailing, Penned by Palmer calligraphed the envelopes, and the suites were sent off with vintage postage.
Formal Invitations
This February wedding featured stationery by MADE Papier, which had the couple's custom crest from Arabella June.
Burgundy Invitations
This burgundy-and-white stationery suite was warm and wonderful for a winter affair.
Iridescent Invites
The text on this Minted stationery was iridescent, giving the invitations a magical touch. A metallic foliage design tied each piece of the suite together.
Luxurious Invitations
These invitations from Paper Daisies Stationery included a custom monogram. They were letterpressed and had gold foil.
Elegant Invites
Even though this couple got married in Southern California, they knew just where to turn for the touches that would make it extra-special, like the artificial snow that lined walkways around the property ("I'm from the East Coast—how could I have a winter wedding without snow?"asked the bride) and the right mix of stylized fonts that appeared on the gold and gray letterpressed suite (by Pitbulls and Posies).
Christmas Plaid Invitations
Liz Cooke from Lionheart Prints designed a flat-printed suite with gold foil stamping for this wedding. It incorporated hand-lettering and kraft-paper envelopes calligraphed in white ink. A custom red tartan lined the envelopes to vibe with the "Ralph Lauren at winter" aesthetic.
Pastel Invitations
Inspired by kaleidoscopes, stationer Cheree Berry designed this suite, which came in a box full of die-cut, foil-stamped papers that relayed all the relevant information in cool shades of winter pastels.
Rustic Invites
For a December wedding in Sundance, Utah, Cheryl Louise Humphreys designed this flat-printed suite with vintage-inspired photos of nature scenes from around the wedding venue.
Ski-Themed Invitations
This bride and groom drew some wintry inspiration from their wedding's location in Deer Valley, Utah, and had Two Paperdolls design a logo for their invites that included ski poles crossing over a mountain, bordered by the couple's initials.
Vintage-Inspired Invitations
The "Strawberry Thief" motif from William Morris inspired the invitation suite for this wedding. Hound Dog Press designed it.
Blue-and-White Invites
Because this couple only invited 19 guests to their February wedding (and knew they all could come!), they didn't give them the option to say no with this simple blue and white invitation by textile designer Charlotte Osterman.
Christmas-Inspired Invitations
To set the mood for their December wedding, this couple had Jill Poole from PS Paper design a simple red-and-charcoal suite with a subtle wreath motif that was elegant enough to distinguish itself from a Christmas card.
Winter Plaid Invitations
Allison R. Banks created invitations for this formal wedding featuring navy ink engraved on white stock with gold edging. The envelope was lined with a custom plaid that matched the tablecloths used at the reception.
Handwritten Invites
For her wedding, this bride handwrote her invitation, which was then letterpressed on white cardstock in a simple black-and-white design.
Metallic Invitations
This New Year's Eve wedding featured a glittery stationery suite designed by our very own design director, Michael McCormick. Pretty inks and plenty of foil made the invites—printed by Spark Letterpressed and calligraphed by Manayunk Calligraphy—pop.
Cactus Invitations
A prickly plant that loves the heat isn't the first thing you associate with winter. But for this couple's January destination wedding in Mexico, Dear Little Darling's cacti design was right on-theme, and the cool color scheme still channeled a wintry vibe.
Crest Invites
This couple kept their Colorado venue in mind when creating (alongside Lana's Shop) a custom crest for their stationery suite. The woodsy design carried through to their welcome totes, and though their celebration was technically in March, the snow-filled day deserves a winter mention.
Gem-Tone Invitations
This custom suite by Southern Fried Paper was letterpressed onto thick cotton paper and marked with addresses calligraphed by The Left Handed Calligrapher. The watercolor envelope interiors were inspired by a painting the couple owned, and the blue and purple hues complemented the February date well.
White Invitations
This December wedding kept things simple with a flat-printed suite by Papellerie. The classy white invitations included a custom crest, and were mailed to future guests using vintage stamps.
Foil-Stamped Invites
Cassandra Bette Events and Storkie Express helped this couple design gray invitations with gold foil. The minimalist suite was set on cardstock and used the Copperplate Gothic Bold typeface.
Green-and-White Invitations
Lana's Shop put together this soft-green stationery suite, which was designed for a January wedding with a natural (white for snow, green for evergreens) winter-inspired color palette. The ombré envelope lining added a pretty touch, as did the leafy details.
Wreath Invitations
This December wedding was definitely festive, but the Cheree Berry Paper invites steered clear of cheesy. The couple's wreath crest, wreath and ornament adornments, velvet red ribbons, and peppermint-stripe string all seamlessly tied the suite's Christmas theme together. The envelope lining was also pretty special—the design was pulled from wallpaper at the wedding's venue.
Mismatched Invitations
This bride and groom had an eclectic style, so they chose to mismatch their stationery suite. They sent out two different Paperless Post save-the-dates (split between the guest list) and Minted invitations, each with their own unique love quote. The cards were popped into the mail after being hand-addressed and stuck with a custom Zazzle stamp.
Natural Invites
These Julie Song Ink letterpressed invitations featured a frosty floral print and thin wood backing. The green-and-white color scheme matched the celebration's décor.
Slope-Inspired Invitations
This rustic Swiss Cottage Designs invitation suite was wintry and woodsy, and great for its February wedding in March. Notable details included the ski crest (the welcome dinner was hosted at a ski lodge).
Navy-and-Gold Invitations
This custom letterpressed Hello Lucky suite had navy ink and gold foil details. The gilded designs included string-lights and stars, plus a popped champagne bottle on the outside of the envelope. Papineau Calligraphy added the finishing touch, addressing each invite for the New Year's Eve wedding.
Pine Needle Invites
Pine needles were the main feature on the stationery for this winter wedding in Colorado. The foil-and-gray invitations were designed by Wiley Valentine.
Shimmer Invitations
March in Whistler, British Columbia, is plenty chilly, and this wedding was definitely wintery. The Florabella Weddings invitations shimmered like the snow outside, and were set on chocolate-brown card stock. The stationery then went into matching brown envelopes, calligraphed with addresses by Michele Papineau of Papineau Calligraphy.

Since I read Flash Boys, those ads for discount brokerage now appear differently to me. I used to think that when, say, TD Ameritrade offers commissions of $9.99 a trade it's because their platform is so efficient, so geared to enjoy economies of scale, that this low rate was sufficient to generate revenue in excess of its costs. But after reading Michael Lewis's latest book it's now dawned on me that an important element in the business model of these firms is to sell their order flow on High Frequency Trading (FHT) outfits or "dark pools". The payment for order flow concept is a market-based recognition that many investors represent a reliable source of profit for the counterparties to their trades over and above the commissions they pay. So the $9.99 commission doesn't represent the full return to (in this case) TD Ameritrade from their participation in your business.
It's all naturally legal and therefore held to be beyond reproach. And perhaps the clients on such terms are naive for assuming that their visible cost of execution (i.e. the commission) was the only cost. But wouldn't most people like to know if their orders were in effect the subject of a bidding war among the HFT crowd? Wouldn't you think that the broker is getting you best execution not in the literal sense as defined in the regulations, but actually setting about to do that? If a discount broker can sell your orders on to a profit-seeking algorithm, they may still be providing you with a service but are not obviously working in your best interests.
It just seems as if there's been a colossal error of judgment. The client might well be staggered to comprehend the economics of the online broker. The HFT apologists are no doubt equally shocked that anybody else is shocked. Hasn't all this been disclosed? Well, technically I guess it has, but you can't blame the average retail investor for wondering who they can trust. The brokerage model is full of the potential for principal-agent conflict. Dark pools and HFT algorithms are the latest manifestation. At a minimum, this is a PR disaster. The burden of proof is on those who equate volume with liquidity, who find nothing offensive in computer software being implemented to front-run orders. When it's worth $300 million to build a perfectly straight fiber-optic line from Chicago to NY so as to transmit orders in a fraction of the time it takes us to blink, the casual observer may be forgiven for assessing that something is very wrong.

Ashesi volunteer and longtime supporter, Ruth Warren, shares a powerful and inspiring message about her experience visiting Ashesi.
"In my three visits to Ashesi, the sheer diversity, inventiveness and energy of student and graduate projects has thrilled me. I love the mix of innovation, pragmatism and persistence. Poverty and corruption don't fill Ashesi students and grads with despair, but with a strong determination to create change. I urge anyone who can to give yourself a treat and visit Ashesi. Immerse yourself in this beehive of energy, innovative thinking and pragmatic optimism. It's better than a safari or a spa—you will come home reinvigorated from your front-row seat to a better future for Africa. Africa's greatest resource isn't oil, but young, ethical, hardworking Africans, with great problem-solving skills."

Holly Cole
NAC Presents
National Arts Centre Theatre
Friday, November 2, 2018 – 7:30 p.m.
View photos by Brett Delmage of this performance
Holly Cole takes her music from many sources: the Great American Songbook, Tom Waits, pop songs. But in her voice and with the backing of her skilled band, they all turn into golden jazz.
At her National Arts Centre concert Friday, Cole received two standing ovations – and moments of complete silence and attention as well – as she presented tunes from across her career. The show was both an introduction to her latest CD, Holly, from 2018, and a selection of favourites reaching back to her first full-length album, Girl Talk, in 1990.
It's been 2½ years since Cole last performed in Ottawa, and 6 years since she was at the NAC, and her audience was as enthusiastic as ever. The 897-seat NAC Theatre was about 80% full, and from the very first song, the audience responded with very strong applause and cheers – to which Cole made the effort to respond in both French and English.
Backing Cole were Toronto jazz musicians she's played with for years: pianist Aaron Davis, saxophonist John Johnson, bassist George Koller, and drummer Davide DiRenzo. If Cole was the star, they were the muscle behind and the contrasting voices in her music – and she let them shine as well.
Throughout the show, they added memorable moments: Koller's emphatic double bass riff with high harmonics which dramatically opened "Get Out of Town"; Johnson's circling soprano sax lines accenting Cole's vocals in "Charade" and his undulating flute in "Me and My Shadow"; Davis' strikingly simple and understated piano matching the deep emotion of Cole's singing in "My Foolish Heart"; and DiRenzo's cowbell and drumbeats which powered "Train Song".
It was a fast-moving show, with a wide dynamic and stylistic range. It opened with the Tom Waits number "Take Me Home", a sultry and dramatic number with Cole singing over a simple rhythm – which emphasized the strength of her vocals and the emotional impact of the lost-love lyrics.
She included four more of Waits' songs, with the entire group playing with and adding instrumental and vocal richness to each of the songs. "(Looking for) The Heart of Saturday Night", which opened the second set, was a particular stand-out, with Cole fully immersing herself in its country blues feel and swaying slinkily to Johnson's tenor sax solo. Cole released an entire Waits tribute album (Temptation), and has included his songs on others of her albums as well.
From Holly, Cole took four jazz standards: the syncopated "I'm Beginning to See the Light", in which she matched her vocal style to Johnson's tenor sax lines; the ironic "Ain't That a Kick in the Head", with her scatting to Koller's bass riffs; the bubbling "We've Got a World That Swings"; and the sophisticated "They Can't Take That Away From Me". Each was a strong and swinging ensemble performance.
Other highlights included the double bass and vocals duet which opened "Me and My Shadow", with Cole cozying up to Koller centre-stage in an arrangement that perfectly visually and musically emphasized the message in the lyrics; the movie-theme brashness of "Charade"; and the rolling rhythms of "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues", with Cole underscoring the words with well-timed pauses.
Cole consistently picks songs which are strong in both their words and music, and her clear delivery ensures the audience can understand all the lyrics. Some of the tunes she sang straight, letting the words flow out; in others, for example "Que Sera Sera", she played with changing her vocal style from line to line.
In this set list, there was a particularly good match between her rendition and the songs in Casey Scott's "Cry (If You Want To)", with its Latin beat adding hope under the melancholy lyrics; and Cole's own tune, "You've Got a Secret", with Johnson's bluesy clarinet lines echoing her plaintive singing.
The climax of the evening came in the last number, as Cole's compelling voice filled the theatre with the joyous message of "I Can See Clearly Now". It's a number she's been singing for the last 25 years, and yet it sounded fresh. She simply encompassed and embodied that song and brought the entire audience along with her, in rapt attention.
For an encore, Cole reached right back to Girl Talk and the smooth ride of the Smokey Robinson hit "Cruisin'". By itself, that song was a fine upbeat closer, but it became even more interesting as Cole (as she has before) gave her band the opportunity to stretch out for extended and inventive solos – with Cole leading the audience in clapping along to the beat.
I was especially impressed with DiRenzo's drum interlude, in which he used mallets to create powerful and echoing patterns that built up to a climax and then faded out, but never too loudly and always with a beautifully controlled and warmly resonant sound. Johnson's tenor sax solo was extremely intense and full-bodied (Cole exclaimed "Omigod!" as he ended), while Koller created fast melodies on his double bass, slapping the strings and puling out inflected long notes. Davis played a subdued and classically-influenced solo, beginning by stroking the strings inside the piano and then moving to the keyboard to insert a romantic ballad – before changing the mood back to doo-wop with echoing repeated notes, and signaling the band to return to "Cruisin'".
As Cole sang a last long held note, the room again erupted in applause and the crowd stood for a second standing ovation.
Any Holly Cole concert is an Event – but that's because of her and her band's ability to produce a well-prepared, well-planned, and well-delivered show. Her NAC performance was focused and didn't miss a beat.

Aside from the gifts so generously bestowed by nature, one cannot underestimate the impact of the forty-odd estates built along the Hudson River by members the Livingston Family in defining our region's special character. Nowhere is this better exemplified perhaps, than the remarkably intact string to the north of Clermont State Historic Site on Woods road. Shining examples of preservation, conscientious stewardship, and pride of place, they are also an enduring physical reflection of the intricate web of Livingston inter-familial relationships.
Marked by charming gatehouses and tantalizing long tree-lined drives, the homes (along with their outbuildings and/or farm complexes) are hidden from public view. In all but one instance they remain in private hands. While each of them has witnessed enough ups and downs and colorful stories to merit their own post, for the sake of relative brevity I limit this one to an overview and collective history of them all.
At the dawn of the nineteenth century, most of the land on which the Woods Road estates now stand was part of the larger Clermont estate. Two mansions graced the property; Clermont, which served as a dower house for Margaret Beekman Livingston,
and a newer mansion a few hundred yards to the south built for her son Robert (more popularly known as the Chancellor).
The Chancellor had two daughters, and the estate was eventually divided between them. The northern portion, consisting of the Clermont mansion and roughly two thousand acres, went to his elder daughter Elizabeth (Betsey) and her husband (as well as third cousin) Edward P Livingston.
Betsey bore ten children over twenty years, though when she died in 1829 at the age of forty-nine only five survived her (not an uncommon occurrence in an era of high child mortality rates, no matter what one's socioeconomic status). Despite her widowed husband's remarriage in 1832 to Mary Broome, a woman just a few years older than his eldest daughter Margaret, the remaining children expected the family estate to be theirs when he died. Much to their consternation, when Edward passed way in 1843 he bestowed not only the handsome, if not quite princely sum of $20,000, but also Clermont itself upon the pretty head of his second wife.
Believing she had conspired to rob them of their rightful inheritance, the outraged siblings united against their stepmother, filing a lawsuit claiming among other things that she had tampered with the will. When the suit was thrown out of court, they planned another. The second Mrs. Livingston, having no deep connection to Clermont nor a desire for a costly and protracted legal battle, eventually agreed to vacate the mansion, taking her $20,000 and a good deal of the home's furnishings with her (for more you can read this post from the Clermont blog). According the Clare Brandt's The Livingstons, An American Aristocracy, once they had vanquished their mutual foe, the siblings began squabbling amongst themselves over their fair share of Clermont. The two brothers brought suit against their three sisters in chancery court over the validity of a map (it is not clear who drew it up) dividing Clermont's land and tenant farms equally between them. Although it might seem greedy on the surface, one should consider the times in which they lived.
The economic lifeblood and social prestige of the Livingston family was rooted in the colonial Manor system. The family's vast landholdings were farmed by tenant farmers, bound by "perpetual", often multi-generational leases which stipulated the yearly rent and labor owed to the "Lord of the Manor". When the family was at its zenith (owning over 750,000 acres), their holdings were so vast that the collection of past-due rents and enforcement of rules governing timber and mineral rights were often lax. Over the next several generations, as the family grew exponentially, the land was divided into smaller and smaller tracts, and its members now began to count their holdings in the mere thousands, as opposed to tens of thousands of acres. Subsequently the income from each individual tenant farm took on a greater significance. They began to take steps to collect past due rents dating back years or in some cases evict tenants. This was a leading cause of the "Anti-Rent" movement". The tenants rebelled against the great landowning families, often with violent, or in some cases deadly repercussions for the hapless rent collector.
They also took legal action, challenging the leases in court, claiming that the legality of the Livingston's original acquisition of their land was murky at best, fraudulent at worst. In 1844, the family scored a victory in court, leading them to believe the tenant-landlord system was secure for the foreseeable future. For the five children of Betsey Livingston, who would now be counting their property in the hundreds, as opposed to thousands of acres, each tenant farm not only represented income, but also a unit family pride.
Layered over this was perhaps a more significant societal factor. In that era, aside from whatever dowry the bride's family might settle on a couple, a woman's income, comfort, and financial security was the responsibility of her husband once she was married. Although their mother Betsey was considered a great heiress, there had been no sons for her father to pass his fortune on to (in fact as a testament to the times, the Chancellor left his shares in the Great Northern Steamboat Company to his two sons-in law as opposed to his daughters). While the youngest sister Mary was not married with a husband to provide for her, the status of an unmarried woman at that time was far from enviable. They were usually considered wards of the family, living with a married relative, seldom having their own households or property. Given this, one can understand why the two brothers would balk at their incomes being significantly diminished to give their sisters an extra income stream in addition their husband's resources. As for Mary, what need would she have for rental income from tenant farms when living under one of their roofs?
Remarkably, the Livingston siblings were able to work out a division of their parent's property that seems radically fair for the times. Each received a large tract of land large enough to support a working farm with half a mile of river frontage, along with a "suitable" number of the farms, (the two brothers garnering an appropriately larger share than their sisters). One only has to look a short distance south to see how easily it could have gone another way, for around same time the Betsey's sister Margaret Maria' children were dividing up their parents' estate which included the Chancellor's mansion and the southern half of Clermont. In that case, two brothers split the land between them while two sisters got none of it. Their respective inheritances settled, any disruptions to familial harmony seem to have been soon restored, physically evidenced by the internal system of private carriage roads connecting the estates they soon established on each of their river properties.
The eldest brother (appropriately named Clermont) received the Clermont mansion and southernmost portion of the estate.
Unlike his brother and sisters who were settling in the newly fashionable precincts off of Fifth Avenue above 14th Street and used their estates more as country retreats, Clermont made, "Clermont" his primary year-round residence. After bearing two children, his wife, a distant cousin died. Perhaps mindful of the ruckus caused by his father's second wife, the young widower made a much more pragmatic choice in his, Mary Swarthout Livingston, his former next door neighbor in the Chancellor's mansion and widow of his cousin Montgomery.
Unimpeachable socially, her photograph indicates she was also age appropriate with a head perhaps not quite as pretty as his former stepmother's!
Eldest sister Margaret Livingston and husband David Augustus Clarkson built a wooden frame home on her property immediately to the north of Clermont, which they dubbed Chiddingstone. Widowed in 1850, Margaret divided the estate between her two children after their marriages (she died herself in 1874). Her son Thomas Streatfield Clarkson, founder of a successful real estate firm in New York received the northern portion of the property on which his parent's house stood. He soon razed it and around 1860 constructed an elegant, distinguished looking brick home in its place.
The house, which successfully combines Italianate and classical elements, has recently been impeccably restored.
Margaret's daughter Elizabeth (married to George Gibbes Barnwell) received the southern half of Chiddingstone. Shortly after she passed away in 1860 the property was sold to William H Hunt of New Orleans, who bought it for his wife Elizabeth Ridgely (a great-granddaughter of Chancellor Livingston through his daughter Margaret Maria). Scarcely had they settled in, naming the property Ridgely when she died in 1864. Ridgley was then sold to John T Hall, who owned it for thirty years. After his death in 1895 William and Elizabeth Hunt's son Thomas bought the place, bringing it back into the family fold. He most likely built the current mansion with its stuccoed formality and neo-regency massing.
The Hunts owned an apartment at 655 Park Avenue but considered Ridgley their home. After Thomas Hunt's wife died in the 1940s, the Carmelite Sisters acquired the estate. Despite the encroachment of newer institutional buildings, the house and property still retain much of their grandeur.
Southwood /Midwood
Youngest sister Mary received the parcel next to her sister Margaret's, naming it Southwood. In 1849 she married Levinus Clarkson, a first cousin of Margaret's husband David (if there was a family that could give the Livingstons a run for their money in having a tangled thicket of a family tree, it may have been the Clarksons). The couple settled into a brownstone at 14 West 19th Street and soon built a comfortable house on her property in a transitional late Greek revival style with Italianate elements, adding a third story mansard roof later.
After Levinus died in 1860 Mary spent much of her long widowhood there, along with her sons Edward and Robert. When Robert married Miss Mary Otis in 1886, his mother gave them the northern portion of the property, on which they built a comfortable second empire frame home, naming it Midwood.
Edward remained unmarried, continuing to share Southwood with his mother until her death in 1898. In 1913, he sent tremors of shock rippling through the Woods Road cousinage by marrying Rachel Coon, a woman not only forty years younger but also from a local middle class family. of all things! Both estates were sold out of the family in the twentieth century and are well cared for today by their respective owners. You can see more of pictures of them today by clicking here for Southwood, and here for Midwood.
Pine Lawn (later Holcroft)/Oak Terrace
Middle daughter Elizabeth and husband Dr. Edward Hunter Ludlow built a charming cottage named Pine Lawn on her property adjacent to Southwood, intending to retire from the bustle of New York and lead a quiet country life there. Country retirement evidently didn't suit Dr. Ludlow very well, for by 1850 he founded a new real estate firm in New York City, later becoming a trustee of the medical department of Columbia Medical College and President of the New York Real Estate Exchange, while amassing a significant fortune along the way. Although the Elizabeth didn't marry a Clarkson like her sisters, the Ludlows made their own contribution towards tangling the family tree. Two years after their daughter Mary married Valentine Gill Hall, Jr., their son Edward Livingston Ludlow married Valentine's sister Margaret. The Ludlows cottage was destroyed in the 1870's, when a cinder from a passing train set the cottage ablaze. Around that same time or shortly after, Elizabeth divided her property between her two children. Son Edward built a handsome red brick residence (with a slate roof, perhaps to ward off train-borne sparks?) on the site of his parent's cottage,.
Edward Ludlow sold the "new" Pine Lawn to Howard and Alice Delafield Clarkson (Howard also a great-grandson of the Chancellor's through his daughter Margaret Maria) who renamed it "Holcroft" in deference to the Clarkson family seat in Potsdam New York. It is still owned by their descendants today. Daughter Mary and Valentine Hall erected a large, buff brick second empire mansion named Oak Lawn (later Oak Terrace) on their portion.
Their daughter Anna married Elliot Roosevelt, and today Oak Terrace is today known as the place where a young Eleanor Roosevelt spent a good deal of time after mother's death. Although the house had been allowed to deteriorate almost beyond the point of repair over the past sixty years, new owners have rescued the building, embarking on a complete restoration.
The youngest son Robert Edward received the most northerly portion of Clermont, appropriately if not imaginatively naming it "Northwood". He significantly enlarged its footprint by purchasing adjacent farms to the north and east, and eventually established a commercial orchard there. He married Susan de Peyster Clarkson in 1856 (a first cousin once removed to both his sister Mary and Margaret's husbands!). The only one of the siblings to boast a Fifth Avenue address (271)
it is perhaps fitting that the home Robert built at Northwood was the most "high style" of the brothers and sisters.
The Second empire mansion's soaring ceilings, wide halls and elegant, restrained exterior speak to good taste and refinement. It remained in the family until the second half of the twentieth century, and is very well maintained to this day.
It is interesting to note, with three of the five siblings marrying Clarksons, four maiden Clarkson sisters purchasing the Chancellors mansion in 1858, and the marriage of Howard Clarkson's (of Holcroft) daughter Alice Delafield Clarkson to Clermont Livingston's son John Henry Livingston a generation later, it might appear that, the Clarkson family could rightfully claim dominance over the Livingstons on the Woods Road estates, as the family had resided in all but one of them (Oak Terrace)by the early twentieth century. In reality, by this point there had been so much intermarriage between the two clans that a Clarkson would also be considered a Livingston, and vice versa! In any case I say thank you to Clarksons, Livingstons, Livingston-Clarksons and CLarkson-Livingstons, for their architectural legacy and unique enclave they created,making Woods Road a very special corner of the Hudson Valley!

Two socially disconnected millennials form a friendship based on sharing everything, especially men – the premise for a risqué TVNZ On Demand comedy series co-written and performed by Massey University Bachelor of Arts student Elizabeth McMenamin.
Ms McMenamin, who wrote The Fucket List with fellow actor and scriptwriter Chelsea McEwan Millar and comedian Tim Batt.
"We're really pleased – over 10,000 people watched it in the first week," says Ms McMenamin, a distance student currently in her second year of a BA majoring in English and minoring in Theatre Studies.
The five-episode series follows the antics of two twenty-something gal pals and is filmed in their Grey Lynn flat in Auckland. The pair, who go by their own names in the show, make a pact to sleep with each other's former lovers, of which there are many, they brag! This leads to hilariously awkward moments as they work through the 'list' in a game of predatory hedonism that will, presumably, make them best buddies.
Their pragmatic and uninhibited approach to achieving their carnal targets is a kind of 21st century gender reversal and dig at behaviour usually associated with men. What makes it funny is that the exploitative, ego-tripping sex – and the heavy drinking and crude banter that goes with it – is what feminism has long denounced.

The snappy eight-minute episodes feature guest appearances by well-known comedians and actors, including Rhys Mathewson, Jesse Griffin, Guy Montgomery and Jackie van Beek, as well as a cameo by reality television celebrity and former Bachelor NZ star Art Green.
Ms McMenamin and Ms McEwan Millar came up with the idea for the show when they entered the 48 Hour Film Project in 2015 with a bunch of friends. Their entry had the elements for what they felt could be developed into a full series. So, they wrote it over the course of a few months, calling on friends and contacts with the necessary skills in the theatre and film industry who helped to produce, shoot and edit the show as "a labour of love", then pitched it to TVNZ.
The pair have been the best of friends in real life for about eight years, says Ms McMenamin, and have collaborated on a whole range of projects. Their shared sense of comic timing and similar tastes in comedy has helped forge their creative partnership.

Ms McMenamin, who is from Whanganui, has studied at various institutions in New Zealand and overseas including the Wellington Performing Arts Centre, the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York, United States and Cartor Thor East Studios in Toronto, Canada. Her theatre appearances include a starring role in Auckland Theatre Company's critical smash August: Osage County, Punk Rock, directed by Benjamin Henson at The Basement Theatre, Zooquatic, and the 2015 Auckland Fringe Festival production of Up on Lowman – the last two she co-wrote with Ms McEwan Millar.
Her on-screen credits include the Torchlight Films feature Hook Line and Sinker, Smoko, directed by Ghazaleh Golboloski, and the 2015 short film Ten Tips for a Healthy Relationship.
She says studying English and theatre have helped her with creative processes and ideas, and that studying a summer school theatre writing paper in 2017 to 2018 with award-winning playwright, theatre-maker and senior lecturer Associate Professor Angie Farrow was a great way to hone her writing skills. Her new play, titled You, Me and Baby Makes Three, written during the course, will be performed in September's theatre showcase in Palmerston North.
Ms McMenamin plans to do a teaching diploma once she has graduated and is keen to teach drama in schools. "I really enjoy passing the torch to other young actors – I love that interaction."
She and Ms McEwan Miller hope to work on a follow-up series of The Fucket List and are applying for funding.

Artists returning awards are rabid anti-BJP elements: Arun Jaitley
Union finance minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday stepped up the attack on those returning awards by calling them "rabid anti-BJP elements" and stuck to his guns that their protest is a manufactured rebellionindia Updated: Oct 29, 2015 17:22 IST
Union finance minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday stepped up the attack on those returning awards by calling them "rabid anti-BJP elements" and stuck to his guns that their protest is a manufactured rebellion.
"Those returning awards are playing politics by other means. Follow their tweets and their stances on various social and political issues. You will find a lot of rabid anti-BJP elements in them," Jaitley told reporters.
"I had already called it a manufactured rebellion. I stand by my phrase. And I think, the events as they are unfolding only indicate that kind of manufacturing is going on at faster speed," the minister said when questioned about artists' returning awards to protest against growing 'intolerance'.

He also claimed that some of them had gone to Varanasi to campaign against Narendra Modi in the last general elections.
Stating that space of the Left has reduced, he claimed that those returning awards were in a way electioneering against the BJP in Bihar polls.
Rejecting the charge that an atmosphere of intolerance was prevailing in the country, he said there was normalcy in the country.
He condemned all the incidents being dubbed as examples of intolerance and called for strict action against those responsible for it.
The Union minister, however, said there was a disproportionate political reaction to the incidents taking place in the country and asked those returning awards if their conscience had pricked when corruption and scams to the tune of lakhs and crores of rupees were taking place during the Congress-led UPA rule.
On the students of the Film and Television Institute of India withdrawing agitation and resuming academic activities, Jaitley welcomed the move and said the government wanted to make FTII an institution of excellence.

It appears that even the animals living on our island can't tolerate the Singapore heat any longer.
A family living at the Skies Miltonia condominium got a surprise when a monitor lizard tried to enter their flat.
The lizard had reportedly been jumping from "balcony to balcony", presumably to take a respite from the sweltering weather.
After several failed attempts at breaking in, the lizard settled for a 30-minute dip in the condo pool instead. A fellow resident then "cornered the monitor lizard into some bushes before releasing it into a forested area nearby."

GOOD DESIGN CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE Beautiful Rooms, Inspiring Stories By Ty Pennington Publisher: Simon & Schuster, 224 pages ISBN: 978-0743294744
THOM FILICIA STYLE Inspired Ideas for Creating Rooms You'll Love By Thom Filicia Publisher: Atria Books, 222 pages ISBN: 978-1416572183
TY Pennington and Thom Filicia brandished their wicked interior designing skills on television and became stars. Their secret? Their stand-out personalities, and their ability to create gorgeous, personalised interiors that inspire viewers and fulfill their clients' desires and dreams.
It's a pity that Pennington's reality show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, is not shown in Malaysia. It's the kind of reality television that even reality TV haters like me will watch.
The show has an altruistic premise: Pennington's mission is to give deserving folk in desperate circumstances a new home in seven days. (These folk are often good Samaritans who have contributed much to their communities.) These new dwellings offer hope and healing to the recipients, many of whom have gone through a very difficult time. (Judging from online viewer comments, it is not unusual to sob your heart out while watching!)
The new abodes come complete with fabulous interiors. Pennington is a former carpenter so he often custom builds furniture and decorative items that reflect his clients' tastes and personalities – it's always fun to see what he comes up with. For example, for New York policeman and single father John Vitale, Pennington created large black and white pictures of his three children because Vitale "loved waking up to (his) kids and seeing their faces". Pennington's interior decorating style can be described as "holistic" – his signature is "bright, quirky and fun". However, his designs are influenced by the desires and tastes of his clients. Therefore, you get all kinds of styles, from antique-rich interiors to peaceful Zen.
After teaching the reader how to find his or her own style and prepare for a renovation, his book is then divided into "rooms": Sleeping Spaces, Living Spaces and Working Spaces. In each chapter, Pennington describes how he creates some of his client's rooms – the glossy photographs illustrate his beautiful interiors to perfection – and the stories about his clients and how these interiors came to be are just as inspiring as the pictures.
Although we don't have Pennington to build furniture for us, we can learn one very important thing from him: to create interiors not dictated by some design guru or a brand, but to suit our personalities and desires.
Thom Filicia was also on TV; he was part of the "fab five" from the popular reality show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (it ran in the United States from 2003 to 2007, and was also aired in Malaysia in 2004 on Ntv7) and now has his own show, Dress My Nest, which has yet to be shown here. I always looked forward to Filicia's segment on Queer Eye when he would redo less than ideal homes, as his interiors were often simple yet jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
What's Flicia's style? Simply put, "luxe". His clients' home are decorated with personally-designed and custom-made furniture often upholstered with luxurious fabrics and gorgeous and seemingly pricey artwork.
Filicia's book offers tips on how to make a small space more appealing, how to use textures and how to create specific moods (such as "inviting" and "exotic").
Thom Filicia Style's layout is as beautiful as the designer's interiors – one imaginative element is how handwritten notes are "scrawled" on photos to explain why a piece of furniture or artwork is there.
The only grouse I have with Filicia's book is the same complaint I have with other such books that feature the polished interiors of mansions and multi-million dollar penthouses. Sure, there's a lot of style on show, but is it the kind of style most people – whether in America or here – can afford? One can only sigh in longing as one gazes at the gorgeous photos. However, as with all such books, we can adapt some of Filicia's design principles – for one, using fabrics and textures is an inexpensive way to give your home a more polished sheen.
Unlike most impersonal interior design books, Pennington and Filicia's books are filled with stories about their lives, how they came to design the homes, or what challenges they faced while creating the perfect home for their clients. Both books are memoirs of sorts as well as "how to" books that are fun to read and educational to boot. And it does not hurt an iota that the two guys are very pretty to look at as well!

Rained all day. Still without a car. Princess in the tower, week four. It was good having the mobility yesterday...and no mobility today was I had to whomp out a whole bunch of stuff in prep for the 2 days we are taking to see the University of Hartford (portfolio show), revisit Hampshire, and tour New Paltz and see their art setup. We will be back on Saturday post Alex's XC meet. I think the following weekend includes Kitty's play and Alex's last dinner for the team. So, having this jaunt (albeit quick) will start putting some bows on the schools for K.
Worked on a series of images for my client's internal program "Accelerate the Momentum"--going to Getty and making a little deck of 50 images collected and curated to communicate speed,motion, action that verges on abstraction. They turned out nicely...and less "Indy car" than the request...so perhaps we can move the literal expectation from some speeding letters with a spinning wheel...to something a bit more elegant and abstract. But, we will see. I asked for them to select a few images that speak to them...to direct where the type could go. The approach could work. Could is the watchword. We will see.
Was reading about Johannes Kelpius (1673-1708) yesterday. I think he is the key to better understanding Conrad Beissel and the Ephrata movement as he was Beissel's mentor and leader of the community Beissel was a member of, prior to splitting off to found the Community of the Solitary. Kelpius came from a moneyed and educated background. He was university educated (University of Altdorf) and became a follower of Philip Jacob Spener, the founder of the sect called Pietists. He became a follower of Johann Jakob Zimmerman, a Pietist leader and scholar. Pietism was a movement that grew within Lutheranism at a time when the state church emphasized the more formal aspects of worship and church life and tended to be aloof from the religious needs of individuals. Across Germany numerous informal groups developed, centering on prayer, singing, and encouragement in the spiritual life. While many of these groups were quite orthodox, others veered off into mysticism and occultism. Such was the group that gathered around Zimmerman, who wished to find a means of combining science (including astrology),alchemy, Kabbala, Christian theology, and mystical occultism.
When in London, Kelpius met Jane Leade, the head of another mystical sect, the Philadelphians. At 21 yrs. old, his mentor, Zimmerman died and left Kelpius to lead about 40 other followers to to the New World (6 months traveling) and upon stepping on the shores in Philadelphia, walked to Germantown and immediately established his community on the shores of the Wissahickon.
Sasche, Julius F. The German Pietists of Provincial Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, 1895.:
Kelpius secured land on Wissahikon Creek (now a park in Philadelphia), where they built a forty-foot cube, which became the all-male group's headquarters and home. Discovering the local children were without a school, he founded a school and became their teacher. He also set up an astrological laboratory where members of the chapter watched the heavens for astrological and other signs of Christ's coming. He developed tuberculosis in the harsh weather, but hoped for Christ to return before he died. Meanwhile, he and the brothers gained some income from providing various healing and occult services for the surrounding community.
When Christ did not appear, Kelpius grew increasingly disappointed, a condition not helped by his failing health. In bed during most of the winter of 1706-07, he composed his most substantive writing and the hymn "A Loving Moan of the Disconsolate Soul in the Morning Dawn." Kelpius finally succumbed to tuberculosis in 1708 at the age of 35. He was succeeded by Conrad Matthai. Because the hope for Christ's return was the only force that held the group together, as that hope died, the group disintegrated. Some of the men who stayed in the area continued as healers, astrologers, and occult practitioners and their presence gave rise to what became known as powwow, or hexing, the peculiar form of folk magic practiced in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Dozens of Tokyo firefighters were battling a blaze on Thursday at the world's largest fish market and one of the capital's most popular tourist sites, as grey smoke billowed over the city.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or people trapped, media said.
The 80-year-old Tsukiji fish market draws tens of thousands of visitors a year to its warren of stalls laden with exotic species of fish and fresh sushi, part of a tourism boom that is a key part of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic plan.
The fire broke out just before 5 p.m. and some 44 fire trucks were on the scene. But efforts to contain the flames were hampered by the area's narrow streets and tight-knit buildings.
The cause was not immediately known. (Reuters)

When it comes to the Bible, an argument that has challenged its validity throughout the ages has been that altered throughout the ages. This is only half truth; the half that is true being what is often referred to the "old testament". The dead sea scrolls show that this half of the book has remained consistent for thousands of years.
This leaves the other half, the "new testament"; it does not have the same measure of validity that the "old testament" does. It is full of contradictions; there was a dispute between two camps: the followers of the Messiah and the followers of Paul (also Saul of Tarsus).
The first problem with the "new testament" is the name of the Messiah. The book of Isaiah is very important to the existence of the Messiah. Without the "old testament", especially the book Isaiah, the Messiah would have no meaning or place in the world. The book Isaiah says the Messiah will be called "Immanu El" (Isaiah 7:14), which means "God is with us" in Hebrew. In the "new testament" this name is mentioned once in Matthew 1:23 only to later be replaced by the name "Jesus", as an insult to the Messiah. How could this have happened? It is well known that the actual name of God (that's right god is not a name, it is a title indicating divinity) was removed from the Bible to prevent people from "using it in vain" and for many other political reasons; the substitution of the name "Jesus" is no exception.
The name aside, who was this Messiah and what did he say? Much of what the Messiah said directly contradicts what Christianity as an institution represents today. First, we are told to call no man "Father" (Matthew 23:9), this title was reserved for the Creator. Many Christian denominations, especially catholics, refer to the leader of their congregation in this manner. We are told how to pray and to whom in Matthew 6:5-18. The Messiah himself tells us that it is only acceptable to pray to the Creator; there is no mention of "praying for Jesus to live in your heart" or for "Jesus to save you".
To further support that the Messiah had no desire to be praised, in Mark 10:17-18 the Messiah rebukes a man for calling him good.
It is by man made traditions (Matthew 15:7-9) that the Messiah has become an object of worship. The Messiah told countless amounts of people to never speak of his deeds (Mark 1:41-44 & Mark 8:27-30). His message was clear: anyone who wanted to listen to the Creator were his mothers, sisters, and brothers (Matthew 12:48-50, Mark 3:33-34, & Luke 8:21); few people would choose that responsibility. The responsibility is not that cumbersome, there are only two requirements: love the Creator and all the creations (Matthew 22:37-39). None of these responsibilities include telling people they will go to hell. For forgiveness, the requirements are quite simple: forgive others in order to receive forgiveness (James 2:13).
One of the more striking axioms in the bible is that we are co-creators of our reality (John 10:35-36 & Psalm 82:6). The Messiah made it clear that "Immanu El": God is with us.
Where does that leave the "church"? The Bible describes a place that resembles a dining hall as a place of worship. People come to make offerings on an "altar" – a large table – and eat them (Leviticus 19:5-6 & Leviticus 23:14). The Messiah was upset with the leaders of the "church" in his time for being so miserly (Matthew 23:23) as they only brought herbs from their garden to share in the communal meal. As hard as it is to believe, the ceremonies to praise the creator involved bringing food to share with his children, if you were so blessed, and all were welcome at the table. The "leaders" of the "church" were there to guide people towards the Creator – to possess a desire to bestow – and to bless the offerings brought by the members of the congregation.
The Messiah reminded the members of the congregation that they had the power to forgive each other all along, and that this is what the Creator wanted (Hosea 6:6 & Matthew 12:7). He also came to remind the people that actions speak louder than words (Matthew 5:17-20, Matthew 15:7-9, Mark 7:6-9, John 5:45-47, James 2:12, & James 2:14-24).
As far as the "church" is concerned today, there has been no new information concerning it's leaders (Matthew 23, 1 John 2:24-27, & Joshua 1:8). Each human must take the Bible and find what it offers that holds something of meaning to themselves; it is not up to any man to say what is or is not relevant in the book (that includes this blog). Each person will find their own meaning within. It would be a crime to say that this was the only book that was inspired by the Creator.
On that note let's close with a prayer:
"Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword.
'I have come to set a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Your enemies will be right in your own household!' (Matthew 10:34-36)
The quarrel will be between those who wish to believe what they know to be true in their hearts and those who wish to take their beliefs as far as it is convenient or comfortable.
"If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it. But when God found fault with the people, he said:
'The day is coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel and Judah.
This covenant will not be like the one
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
and led them out of the land of Egypt.
They did not remain faithful to my covenant,
so I turned my back on them, says the Lord.
But this is the new covenant I will make
with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds,
and I will write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
And they will not need to teach their neighbors,
nor will they need to teach their relatives,
saying, 'You should know the Lord.'
For everyone, from the least to the greatest,
will know me already.
And I will forgive their wickedness,
and I will never again remember their sins.'" (Hebrews 8:7-12)

nope just trying to promote affiliate webpages.they were flagged ounce before for having too much of the same text, but then I re wrote the whole thing and they passed them. then when I went to write another one they flagged all of them? Spamming isn't considered promoting products is it?
yes, spamming can be overly promotional hubs. if all of your hubs were linking back to your web site where you sell products, your hubs would be flagged. this link may help you understand.

OK, so it was over 3 weeks ago... But here come some pictures from the MotssCon in Miami Beach and environs.
This was the 23rd annual one and the 20th consecutive one that we've gone to. soc.motss (originally net.motss) was created in 1983 as a Usenet newsgroup and still exists although not as active; many of the now or past active posters have met face-to-face.
On the first day we went to a number of places (Robert is Here, Fruit and Spice Park, and Schnebly Winery) that sold interesting food products.
That evening we went to Michael's Genuine Food and Drink for a fancy dinner that was quite wonderful.

Land is real estate that is exclusive of any buildings or other assets situated on the property. Depending on the terms of a land ownership agreement, the owner may be awarded the right to use all natural resources on and under the land, which may include water rights, fishing rights, mining rights, and so forth.
Land assets are classified within a separate fixed asset account. Land is the only asset that is not depreciated for financial reporting or tax purposes. This can result in the improper shifting of real estate costs away from the land portion of an acquisition in order to maximize the amount of depreciation that the new owner can claim as a tax deduction.
