As a middle-schooler, I obsessed over Seal's song, "Kissed by a Rose." When it came on the radio, I would rush to hit record so I could have it on a tape to listen to whenever I so desired — which was a lot. It took a few tries to get to the radio in time to record, but I finally got it. And then I practically wore the tape out, rewinding and replaying the song while I wrote down the lyrics. Embarrassing? It probably should be.
But ever since then, I've had an interest in Seal. I have been so happy watching his relationship with Heidi Klum. They were the poster-couple for marriage. They were openly affectionate, made time for romance, loved on their children, and talked each other up whenever they were interviewed.
So I was un-healthily devastated when I found out they are splitting up. How can it be? They were perfect together.
And I am completely baffled by the curious reason they gave in their press release: They simply grew apart.
Seal appeared on Ellen yesterday, and talked about how much he loves Heidi, how wonderful she is, how shocked they both were when they decided to separate. Ellen pointed out that he is still wearing his wedding ring, and he gave some non-answer about how you don't just take off your wedding ring when you decide to separate — because, get this, there is still so much love there.
So if there is so much love there, WHY are they calling it quits? They don't really owe anyone an explanation for their split, but then again — they do. Because they flaunted their happiness. They told us all how to do it. And now they are ending it.
"Growing apart" is not a good reason for a divorce. It's a good reason for soul searching, a great reason for finding your spirituality, a fantastic reason for marriage counseling, a stupendous reason for — you know, working at something in which you've invested your life (and the lives of four children).
We all know "growing apart" is just Hollywood code for infidelity or some other such treachery. But can't they give us something a little more… concrete? Because now they're going around, telling the world that couples simply grow apart and divorce. Like that's a standard we should accept.
Let me tell you something: Marriage is roses and marriage is thorns. But most importantly, marriage is a commitment. You ride the good times with a smile, and you hunker down and barrel through the tough times, and you know what? You come out stronger. You come through it together.
I know I sound callous about what is surely a painful thing in two real people's lives. But shouldn't somebody just shake them? If they grew apart, can't they grow together?
Seal — I still love your voice, and Heidi — you sure can rock a post-baby body. But give us a better reason for your split or please please stop talking about it, and making it seem like husband and wife should just walk away when they wake up and find themselves going in different directions.

Absolutely Lovely Watercolor Walls
If you haven't heard of watercolor walls yet, consider this your lucky day! They are like nothing I've ever seen before, and the moment I discovered their beauty, I knew I had to share!
A wall painted with watercolors gives a room an entirely different feel. The color options are endless, and even typical, "boring" colors are eye-catching. For example, look at the two walls below. Simple grays and light browns flow together to make a gentle statement. It feels clean, elegant, and fresh.
How to Colorwash a Wall
You can create your own watercolor wall by colorwashing it. Colorwashing is the process of painting a wall with watercolors. Ehow.com has a helpful article on how to colorwash your own wall at home. However, if you're anything like me, and the thought of doing it yourself seems overwhelming, you can purchase a foolproof kit and watercolor supplies. It will walk you through the process, step by step.
Watercolor Wall Murals
Watercolor walls can be vibrant and bright too! The two photos shown below are actually wall murals that can be pasted onto the wall. A lot of watercolor walls are murals that can be removed and placed elsewhere. While they can be expensive, you know you're purchasing the perfect look for your room. The first photo is a silhouette of the London skyline. Isn't it wonderful? This particular website also has murals of several other skylines, such as New York, Paris, and Berlin!
The Ombre Effect
Many of the watercolor walls I've seen have the ombre effect. Ombre is when one color fades into another. It tends to be gradual, though sometimes it can be a stark difference. Color boundaries are blurred to create a beautiful mess of contrasting shades. It doesn't matter how many colors you use. The options are limitless!
Create a Focal Point
A watercolor wall is more than your typical accent wall. It adds unique character. From the photos I've seen, these types of walls look best in homes with a modern, clean style in living rooms, bedrooms, and studios or offices. Though most of the walls shown here are abstract with no specific subject, a watercolor wall mural can be an intriguing way to accentuate your desires or hobbies.
For example, the image below shows an exceptional painting of the city of Paris - much different than the London skyline shown above. The watercolor face in the second image adds even more of an artistic element to an art studio.
So... If you are a fan of white walls, but are looking for a way to add incomparable character to your home, a watercolor wall might be exactly what you are looking for! Dedicating one wall to personal expression opens doors to artistic freedom. With so many colors, blends, and styles, there's sure to be something that fits your personality and matches your home decor.
Linking up with A Harvest of Blessing for the Jack of All Trades Link-Up! Go check it out!
What do you think? Do you love the idea of having a watercolor wall in your home?

I'm pretty sure in Hell everyone is doomed to iron men's dress shirts for eternity. It is just that miserable, right? But, ironing shapely items is practically painless with a ham and roll. Not the dinner kind, the ironing kind. Although, ironing with food in hand would probably lift some stress as well.
If you've never used a tailor's ham or sleeve roll before, you're going to shower me with virtual kisses, which I will gladly waft in the direction of the brilliant soul who invented them.
1/4 yard fabric for ham, 1 side cotton- 1 side flannel/wool/heavy home decor
Matching thread
Heaping mound of fabric scraps, ripped into strips
1. Take your tracing paper, and draw an egg-like shape. (height: 12″, width: 10″). This is your ham pattern piece, cut it out. Fold the ham pattern in half and even the sides with a pair of paper scissors.
2. If you choose to add a pocket to the ham, trace another piece the same size as the ham piece, with a curve from about the top third to the bottom third of the pattern.
3. Cut out 2 ham pieces from the fabric of your choice, 1 side being basic quilter's cotton, and one side being heavier like home decor or flannel. Cut two pieces of cotton for the lining as well (that's 4 pieces in total). Then cut out 2 pocket pieces from the fabric of your choice (optional).
All machine sewing for the ham and sleeve roll should be done using a 5/8″ seam allowance.
1. Match up the two pocket pieces with right-sides-together an sew along the top of the pocket (the curve that doesn't match the other ham pieces).
2. Clip into the seam every 1/2″ or so to help it lay flat.
3. Turn the pocket right side out, press the seam flat, and top stitch along the pressed edge of the pocket.
4. Line the pocket up with 2 ham pieces, all with the right sides up: (from bottom to top) liner, outer ham piece, pocket. Baste all the way around the outer edges using a 1/4″ seam allowance.
5. Lay the pocketed ham piece right-side up, and layer the other ham pieces on top of it with the RIGHT-SIDES FACING DOWN. Pin.
6. Use a 5/8″ seam allowance to sew around the edges, leaving a 3 or 4″ opening.
7. Notch the curved seam allowance.
8. Turn right-side-out.
9. Stuff very tightly with fabric scraps.
10. Use a ladder stitch to close the opening, using doubled thread or embroidery floss.
Now you might even enjoy that pesky pile of shirts that need ironed. Maybe.

Though I aim for this site to cover all forms of pop music, sometimes I let real guilty-pleasure bubblegum too easily slip through the cracks. Mandy Barry's music clearly aims for the top 40 radio aesthetic, with a sound akin to early Rihanna, before "Umbrella" made her a household name. Having heard two of Barry's songs (the other being the four-to-the-floor Britney-esque club track "Girl Break Up") it's clear she's got an ear for hooks.
What she doesn't have is a producer with a deft touch. It's a shame "Second to Breathe," which overall is her strongest single, doesn't take its own title's advice. The overwhelming mix drowns a hook-laden, keyboard-heavy hook in tribal percussion and broadly-defined synth touches — the song, though solid, can't completely shine through the mess. There's a great deal of pop potential here if she takes the time to focus on stripping these pop tracks down to their strongest elements. Each track is worth a listen to hear what pop hit-makers sound like before they get their big break and the studio opportunities and advice which frequently come with such. Mandy Barry's not all the way there yet, but I like her chances.

Spitzer Won't Be Charged
Feds won't charge Spitzer in call-girl scandal
U.S. attorney says probe shows former governor didn't misuse public funds
NEW YORK - Federal prosecutors said Thursday that they will not bring criminal charges against Eliot Spitzer for his role in a prostitution scandal, removing a legal cloud that has surrounded the former New York governor since his epic downfall eight months ago. | AP Associated Press
Is this fair? Or was resigning his position as Governor sufficient payback?

Something is very dark and mysterious here. Hold my hand I'm scared.
I bet you wont sleep tonight? Whoops, I've noticed it was posted 9 months ago?<br />
Welcome to sadsville...

50 People Who Have Made a Difference
Published 11:16 pm, Monday, March 1, 2010
Editor's Note: As part of its 50th anniversary celebration throughout 2010, the Greenwich Old Timers Athletic Association has partnered exclusively with the Greenwich Time to present the "50 People Who Have Made a Difference" in sports in Greenwich over the last 50 years. The Old Timers have selected the 50 individuals and each month Greenwich Time will present five of them. This month we bring you Pete Castiglione, Allan Connal, Dorothy Hamill, Terry Lowe and John Sullivan.
Not so long ago, many of the things we see today when watching sports on television were not always a standard part of broadcasts. Simple techniques like the sound of a golf ball dropping into the cup and isolation shots of players and coaches away from the action were revolutionary developments in the 1970s. Imagine too a sports landscape that did not involve ESPN.
Allan "Scotty" Connal, recognized as one of the great innovators in the sports television industry, was in the middle of these and other developments that revolutionized the way Americans watched sports on TV.
Connal began his career at NBC as a page in 1947 and worked his way up through the ranks to become the network's vice president for sports programming and operations.
Under Connal's direction, the network moved to the forefront of sports television coverage, airing major events like the Super Bowl, World Series, Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, NCAA Basketball Championships and the 1972 Winter Olympics. It was during this time that he brought some of his great innovations to the industry, developing such novel approaches as "micing" the cup in golf, creating the line of demarcation on the boards in hockey, and the isolation camera that captured the memorable moment when Carlton Fisk homered in the 12th inning of Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, a moment thaht won him an Emmy Award.
In 1979, Connal and fellow Greenwich resident and NBC sports president Chet Simmons left the network for something new -- an all-sports network called ESPN, the brainchild of Bill Rasmussen. Connal was instrumental in the emergence of the company as the first 24-hour all-sports television network. At ESPN, Connal rose to the position of executive vice president and chief operating officer while pioneering and directing the network's production activities. Connal brought America more than 2,000 hours of original programming each year, including such television firsts as the NFL Draft, Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremonies and the College World Series. He left ESPN to found his own production and consulting company, CONCOM, in 1987.
Closer to home, Connal, who died in 1996, was a longtime member of the Greenwich Old Timers Athletic Association, serving as its president in 1980. In the early 1960s, when Greenwich was without a rink or a team, he organized the Old Greenwich-Riverside Community Center youth hockey program.
Greenwich has a rich history when it comes to baseball, boasting standout performers on the local baseball diamonds, military playing fields during wartime, in the minor leagues and at the professional level. But only four town natives have made it to the big leagues.
Greenwich has always been proud to call Pete Castiglione one of them. Castiglione spent eight seasons in the majors from 1947-54, primarily as a strong-armed third baseman with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Born in Greenwich in 1921, Castiglione helped the Greenwich High baseball team win multiple Fairfield County championships. Following his graduation from GHS in 1939, Castiglione signed his first professional baseball contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1940. After a few years in the minors, Castiglione put his baseball career on hold for three years while serving in the Navy during World War II.
Castiglione rejoined the Pirates for spring training in 1946 and his career began to take off. Appearing in 134 games with the Class B Selma Cloverleafs, Castiglione was an all-star shortstop, hitting an eye-popping .342 while falling just shy of a batting title. He moved up to the AAA Indianapolis Indians for two seasons, and was again selected as an all-star, hitting at a .308 clip in 1948.
After brief stays with the Pirates in 1947 and 1948, Castiglione reached the big leagues to stay in 1949. Primarily a third baseman, he could also be found playing shortstop, first base and the outfield. He played for Pittsburgh -- where one of his teammates was Hall of Famer and future Greenwich resident Ralph Kiner -- from 1949 to 1953. In 1951, Castiglione played a in a career-high 132 games for the Pirates, batting .261 while playing almost exclusively at third base. During the '53 season, Castiglione was traded St. Louis for Hal Rice and cash. Castiglione finished his major-league career with a .255 average and a fielding percentage of .959.
He continued to play at the professional level for four more years with Toronto and Buffalo in the minor leagues and also played some winter baseball in Venezuela. With 16 years of professional baseball behind him, Castiglione retired in 1958 and went to work as a mail carrier for the United State Postal Service in Pompano Beach, Fla., until 1986. He continues to make his home in Pompano Beach.
The Greenwich Old Timers Athletic Association has honored Castiglione as a National Honoree. The Old Timers have also honored his father, Peter, and his brother, Mike, as local honorees.
From the frozen pond at Binney Park to the Olympic skating arena in Innsbruck, Austria to arenas throughout the world as a professional, Dorothy Hamill skated into America's heart and has never left. Her name firmly etched into Olympic and figure skating history, Hamill remains an iconic figure even today, revered as a skater who brought beauty, grace and athleticism to the ice.
The Riverside native began skating as an 8-year-old on the pond behind her grandparents' home in Binney Park. It didn't take long for her to become one of the sport's elite, winning the novice title at the United States Figure Skating Championships by age 12. The following year in 1970, Hamill earned the national junior silver medal before finishing seventh at the 1971 world championships. After finishing second to five-time national champion and 1972 Olympic bronze medalist Janet Lynn for the 1973 U.S. title, Hamill won the national crown the following year. She successfully defended her title the next two years, with her 1976 victory in Colorado Springs earning her a berth on the 1976 U.S. Olympic team at age 19.
Under the guidance of Coach Carlo Fassi, Hamill's programs combined her strength and jumping ability with technical skill and artistry. Having finished second in the previous two world championships, Hamill was not the favorite at Innsbruck in 1976, but she skated an almost flawless program, finishing with her famous "Hamill camel," and bringing the gold medal back to the United States and of course Greenwich.
Following her triumph at the Olympics, Hamill won more gold at the World Championships and returned home to a hero's welcome in March, treated to one of the biggest celebrations Greenwich's history. The daylong event that stretched via motorcade from the Eastern end of town -- with a stop at Riverside School -- to a rambunctious trip down Greenwich Avenue, to a final stop at the skating rink in Byram that from then on became the Dorothy Hamill Skating Rink.
With her "Hamill camel," and wedge haircut now a part of American pop culture, Hamill soon retired from the amateur ranks, embarkimg on a professional career that included a seven-figure deal with the Ice Capades, which she headlined from 1977-84, and a string of five consecutive World Professional Figure Skating Championships. She won an Emmy Award for her starring role in "Romeo and Juliet," and produced and starred in the highly successful "Nutcracker on Ice."
Now 53 and living in Maryland, Hamill is a strong supporter of charitable endeavors, having served on the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, working with the International Special Olympics, and teaching blind children to skate through the March of Dimes.
She has also remained true to her roots in Greenwich, returning home to skate at a 1984 benefit at Hamill Rink that raised more than $40,000 that went towards improvements at the facility, which she has also made monetary contributions to. Hamill was also on hand at the Greenwich Old Timers Athletic Association Branca Brothers Golf Tournament in 1996 at which her niece, Becky Blake, was a recipient of one of the Old Timers' annual scholarship awards.
Since coming to Greenwich and joining the faculty at Greenwich High School, Terry Lowe's accomplishments have been unparalleled. As a highly respected math teacher, he has touched thousands of lives in that venue alone. Add to that more than a 1,000 victories and close to a 100 championships in two sports, and you have a rather legendary figure.
After obtaining his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and his graduate degree from Wesleyan University, Lowe came to GHS as a math teacher and boys swimming coach in 1966. Although delayed a bit by a two-year hiatus when he was drafted into the Army, one of the greatest dynasties in any sport at any level in Connecticut got its start in 1969 when the Cardinals won the first of what would be 36 consecutive FCIAC championships.
In all, there have been more than 500 victories and 18 undefeated seasons recorded by his GHS swim teams. The Cardinals have won 38 FCIAC crowns in 39 years, and on a statewide basis, there have been 38 CIAC Class LL crowns in 40 years and 26 State Open titles in the 38 years the meets have been held.
With his swim teams thriving, Lowe began a water polo team in 1974, and has found similarly unequalled success in that sport as well. The Cardinals water polo squad has become one of the premier teams in the Northeast, compiling a record of 721-149-8 to go along with six straight Eastern Interscholastic titles and 14 championships overall. He is also a co-founder of Greenwich Water Polo, which has grown into one of the largest boys and girls travel water polo programs in the Northeast.
When school is not in session during the summer months, Lowe turns his attention from the high school to working with youngsters at the Rocky Point Club in Old Greenwich, where he coaches the club's 8-and-under, 10-and-under, 12-and-under, 14-and-under and 17-and-under teams.
In recognition of all he has contributed in the classroom and in the pool, Lowe has had many awards bestowed upon him. He was named the NFL's Teacher of the Year, having been nominated by former student and NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young. Last fall, he was inducted into the Fairfield County Sports Hall of Fame, an honor that follows his earlier inductions into the Connecticut High School State Coaches Hall of Fame and the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference Hall of Fame. He is also among the more than 200 athletes and coaches who have been local honorees of the Greenwich Old Timers Athletic Association over the last 50 years.
The dream of playing in the NFL took John Sullivan on a path through two football programs steeped in winning traditions at Greenwich High School and Notre Dame before being drafted by Minnesota in 2008 and becoming the Vikings' starting center last season.
Sullivan got his first exposure to organized football with the Putnam Generals in the Greenwich Youth Football League, and promptly helped the Generals win a championship over the Glenville Mavericks. But he soon grew too big -- Sullivan was 6-feet tall as a 12-year-old and weighed in at 260 pounds as and eighth-grader -- to play in the same leagues as his classmates until he entered high school.
A three-year starter on both offense and defense, Sullivan helped lead GHS to the FCIAC crown and into the Class LL title game in 2002. Also a three-time State Open wrestling champion in the heavyweight division, he was a three-time All-State selection and the 2002 Gatorade Connecticut Player of the Year in football.
Heavily recruited by such programs as Miami, Boston College, Michigan, Syracuse and Penn State, Sullivan, citing tradition and education, selected Notre Dame as the next step. Redshirted as a freshman, he emerged as the first-team center for the Irish the following year and went on to become a four-year starter while serving as a team captain his senior season. He started 31 consecutive games before sitting out the last two games of his senior year with a knee injury. He graduated from Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business with a degree in marketing.
Sullivan was honored as the Walter Camp Football Foundation's 2005 Connecticut Player of the Year, joining a list that includes Dan Orlovsky, Dwight Freeney and fellow GHS alum and NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young. He was a consensus pre-season All-American his senior year and on the watch lists for the Ourtland Trophy, Rimington Award and Lombardi Award, and, following a strong showing in the Senior Bowl, one of the top prospects for the 2008 NFL Draft.
In that draft, he was selected by the Vikings in the sixth round. The 187th pick overall, Sullivan was the first Greenwich High School product to be selected by an NFL team since Young was chosen by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the 1984 supplemental draft.
Now listed at 6-foot-4 and weighing 303 pounds, Sullivan spent his rookie season behind six-time Pro Bowl center Matt Birk. When Birk left the team via free agency, Sullivan moved in as the starter this year and started all 16 games for the Vikings, opening holes for Adrian Peterson and providing pass protection for Brett Farve on the way to the NFC Championship Game before losing to the Saints in overtime. The loss kept Sullivan from playing in the Super Bowl, where he would have followed in the footsteps of two other GHS alums, Young, who was the MVP in Super Bowl XXIX, and Ken Bell, who played in three Super Bowls as a running back/kick returner with the Denver Broncos.

About Time is a Big, Old-Fashioned Tear-fest
I had a little bit of a headache after watching About Time due to a long cry. By "long cry," I mean that it started in the theater during the film, continued into the bathroom after the film, and I was still erupting in a few loose sobs on the way to the car.
It started with my friend, B, sitting next to me. She was bawling before my brain clued me in that my throat was closing up from one of those giant lumps that form pre-tears. And then I heard K sniffling down the aisle. And finally I just let loose; one of those big, hard cries where you open the door and consider for a moment the enormity of life. I mean, yes, we all have those moments during the day; usually in the form of worrying where we remember how precarious and precious life is. But it's not often that we're sitting in a theater and suddenly realize that… oh my G-d… time is continuously moving and at some point, everyone we love will be gone.
Cue tears.
It wasn't what I expected at all. We joked that our husbands were probably home, thinking that we'd come home all amorous after watching a romantic comedy and we'd ravage them. And maybe that is what would have happened if we had seen the filmmaker's other movies like Love Actually or Notting Hill. But that isn't this film. This film is sort of like Rachel Getting Married. I mean, yes, that movie contains a wedding. But it really isn't the type of movie that makes you feel like getting laid. It's more the sort of film that makes you face plant on the comforter and just sob and sob and sob.
Which is all to say that I am 100% set on buying the film when it comes out on DVD, and it hasn't even left the theater. I've already looked to see if it's available for pre-order because that's how much I loved it. And yes, I will likely go back and see it again. And no, the holes in the plotline didn't bother me. Because it was that fabulous. It was like having dinner with Chris Hemsworth (how he looks in Rush, not how he looks in Thor) and having him suddenly vomit on you. I mean, yes, you're covered in vomit, but you're having dinner with Chris Hemsworth. So you can totally ignore the chunks of food in your lap because… come on… he's just so cute. That's how good this film is. It can vomit on you, and you don't mind.
Not that you'll get vomited on if you go see it.
I got home and wrote my best friend that I thought I was seeing a love story, but I turned out to be seeing a LIFE story. She couldn't even respond to that cheesy line at all. I mean, completely ignored it. But that's how emotional I was walking in from the film.
So… yeah… see it. If for nothing else, the moment that Bill Weasley and Mr. Dursley are in the same room which is all kinds of wrong, but is also all kinds of right.
Go with someone who will cry with you; not some stoic movie watcher who is going to point out that there are a bunch of times they bend their own time traveling rules. I went with a bunch of girl friends, and I'm so glad we took one car because it was the best ride home.

I've been wanting to see this, and I'm so happy to hear it is this good. I love a movie that stays with you, changes you (even just a little bit), and begs to be watched again.
…even if might just vomit on me.

Risinit: A stroll through time on Greenwich Avenue
Published 4:12 pm, Thursday, December 19, 2013
While Greenwich towns-folk were enjoying the holiday season strolling down Greenwich Avenue on Dec. 7, some old-time residents and ex-pats were enjoying a stroll in Chickahominy and through the doors of the historic Two Door tavern on Hamilton Avenue.
In 2013, Greenwich residents have a beautiful main street to enjoy through all the seasons of the year. Our old gang recalls a very different Greenwich Avenue, one that brings back many fond memories of the town where we were raised.
When we were kids, some of us lived in apartments over the shops on Greenwich Avenue and its cross streets, others, in modest houses on one of the residential streets in town.
Our first observation of what the Avenue had to offer a kid was probably when our mothers took us on a shopping trip. Or for some, it may have been when an older brother or sister delivered us to Sister de Chantal, the kindergarten teacher at St. Mary School.
But let's begin at the top of the Avenue. Back then, on the east side of the Avenue, there stood a grand structure, a hotel, about four or five stories tall. Well, actually the hotel's formal entrance faced East Putnam Avenue, but its driveway did exit onto Greenwich Avenue. The hotel's architecture had a Spanish appearance, but its name, The Pickwick Arms Hotel, denoted its New England character. A long, slim, arched awning led the way to the entrance. In front of the hotel was a flower garden, lawn furniture and a large pool with goldfish. There were always a few coins resting at the bottom of the pool. During the '30s and '40s, because of a quirk in Connecticut law, the hotel and its location became a popular spot for weddings. By coming to Connecticut to proclaim their vows, many couples, including some Hollywood celebrities, were able to avoid a waiting period that was required in other states.
Before we travel the rest of the Avenue, I need to highlight one of the other structures. It was a tavern, one that still had "swinging doors." I remember it as Haggerty's. It was about one-half block south of the hotel, on the same side of the street. As I was growing up, I would learn that the proprietor was the grandfather of one of my best friends. The tavern had been called the Horseneck Tavern. It operated as a speakeasy during Prohibition. In warm weather, before air conditioning, its doors and windows would be propped open, and strolling past the tavern would provide the opportunity to enjoy the aroma of smoke and beer, and the laughter of men relaxing after a hard day at work. Unfortunately, the tavern had its demise before most of our gang reached legal drinking age. Haggerty's would be replaced by a more sedate commercial enterprise, while the beautiful and historic Pickwick Arms would be demolished for an office building replacement. However, some of us, along with our fiancees and wives, were able to enjoy a New Year's Eve Party in its Grand Ballroom before the hotel fell to the wrecker's ball.
The hotel's cocktail lounge and Haggerty's tavern had served to illustrate the diverse economic status of the families in the community. In most of the other commercial establishments along its main street, the well-to-do and not-too-well-to-do shopped side-by-side. There was one more exception: the grocery stores. There must have been at least a dozen small groceries dotting both sides of the Avenue. Some specialized in meat or fish, but they all sold fruits and vegetables and groceries. They also offered delivery service and house charge accounts. So while downtown housewives would visit these stores for their family's nutritional needs, housekeepers from the estates in the backcountry would phone in their employer's order and charge it to his account. Despite the opening of an A&P Supermarket at the south end of Greenwich Avenue shortly after World War II, the small, mostly family operated grocery stores thrived through the late 1950s. Delivery service and charge accounts contributed to their ability to compete with the big supermarket, even though it offered more choices at lower prices.
Pharmacies (we called them drug stores) were also numerous. There were about eight along Greenwich Avenue. All of them had soda fountains where you could enjoy an ice cream soda or milk shake, or just a vanilla Coke. Some served breakfast and lunch.
Then there were the stationery stores. While, as their name implies, they sold paper and pens and pencils, probably their most frequently purchased items were the daily newspapers, cigarettes, candy and magazines. At several you could even, very discretely, place a bet on a horse or a number, as long as you were known to the proprietor. There was at least one of these stores on each block.
There were three or four barbershops, and some had as many as six barbers. Yet there were times that you had to wait your turn. While waiting, you could indulge in a shoe shine, or simply engage in the constant banter about sports, the topic of which was usually decided by the season of the year.
Two five-and-dime stores were on the same block, one being the famous F.W. Woolworth Co. They seemed to carry almost every conceivable item that a household or kid might ever need. My mother knew all of the sales ladies. I always got the impression that there was more gossiping than buying going on.
Besides being able to get something to eat at any of the drug stores, there were a dozen or more small restaurants to choose from. Most had counters you could sit at or small cozy tables for two. Some had cool names, like The Green Witch, Gab & Gobble, The Palm and The Purity Goody. But my favorite was Tommy's Diner. It had actually been either a trolley or railroad car at one time. The delicious food was prepared by the two partners, Tommy and Clarence. There were no tables, just a counter, with Tommy at one end doing the cooking and serving customers at the same time, and Clarence at the other end taking care of some incidental tasks while serving the rest of the customers. From time to time, items such as rolls or utensils would be tossed from one end of the counter to the other, as needed. I couldn't wait until my father had a day off and would take me to there. I would get special attention from Clarence and Tommy. But what I enjoyed most was that every time a customer came through the sliding door that served as the diner's entrance, wisecracks would be thrown back and forth like baseballs. The exception was when the customer was a lady. Then the men would tip their hats and politely ask about the rest of the family. Boy, do I miss my father and that diner.
Locally owned men's, women's and children's shops were fairly numerous along the Avenue. Some of the names included The Dress Box, Tots 'n Teens, The Toggery Shop and The Favorite Shoe Store. Others simply went by the owner's last name. There were even several shops that offered nothing else but ladies' hats. After World War II, an Army & Navy surplus store became a popular vendor. As Boy Scouts, we were able to outfit ourselves for camping trips very inexpensively.
Until about age 12 or 13, our main street made up most of the world that we knew. Some of us went to school there. Our parents shopped in its stores. We bought our candy, ice cream and comic books there. We played in its few empty lots, until they all disappeared. In the alleys behind the stores we may have puffed our first cigarette, or stole a first kiss from the pretty girl who sat next to us in class. Memories that are hard to erase.
Whether we still live in Greenwich or not, whenever we visit the Avenue, we can still picture the main street that we knew, along with its people and places that were so important in our young lives.
But back to 2013, Chickahominy and the Two Door. Once more, the Roina brothers, Robbie and Charlie, outdid themselves with the spread they laid out for us. And, of course, the excellent bartending skills of "JP" kept everybody happy during the evening. Attending our party this year were Pat Daur, Joe and Shirley Tyminiski, John and Nancy Kavanagh, Jim and Mary Loughran, Gerry and Barbra Boyle, Mike and Kay Moretti, Frank Creamer and Claire Brady, Marsha Whelan, Fred Whalen, Joe Gavin, John O'Leary, Marty Rossi, Jack Sullivan, Mike Zelenz and MaryLou Blume, Dale and Sue McEnany, Dick and Pat Risinit, and our party organizer, Bucky Creamer, who arranged all the details for a fine evening.
There is one additional member of the old gang who we wish had been able to join us, Bob Schaffner. We lost him in August of this year. But knowing Schaff, he is probably celebrating the holiday season with our old friend and town historian, Bernie Yudain. Merry Christmas Schaff and Bernie.
Dick Risinit is a Greenwich native and resident of Deep River.

PetroChina 2012 Net Below Forecast; To Speed Up Overseas Expansion
HONG KONG - PetroChina Co. aims to speed up overseas acquisitions, exploration and production even after its net profit lagged behind analysts' expectations, as China's largest listed oil company by output hopes to secure more resources to feed growing domestic demand.
Beijing-based PetroChina aims to produce 200 million metric tons of oil and gas a year by the end of 2015, 10% more than the record 181.8 million tons produced last year, Vice President Sun Longde told reporters in Hong Kong Thursday.
The company is seeking acquisition targets in Central Asia, Middle East, North America, Africa and Asia, Mr. Sun said, but didn't name any targets.
"Over the next three years, we will continue to increase our international presence. Overseas production will account for 50% of the company's total oil and gas production by 2015 [versus 10% last year]," Mr. Sun said.
The ambitious plan is an extension of ex-chairman Jiang Jiemin's push to expand beyond China's shores. Mr. Jiang resigned as chairman of PetroChina and China National Petroleum Corp. Monday to head China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The change is effectively a promotion for Mr. Jiang, as he will now oversee all of China's non-financial state-owned assets, including PetroChina and its parent, CNPC.
Since 2007, CNPC has invested $12 billion in oil and gas projects in Canada, Australia, the U.S. and France, according to data provider Dealogic.
PetroChina is speeding up exploration and production of natural gas, in response to a sharp rise in domestic natural gas consumption because of the government's push to encourage the use of cleaner fuels.
However, its natural gas business has been incurring losses since last year, because it needs to procure expensive natural gas imports to meet rising demand, but has to sell at government-set prices that are lower than import costs.
Its natural gas and pipeline business swung to an operating loss of 2.11 billion yuan (US $339.5 million) in 2012, from an operating profit of 15.5 billion yuan.
Mr. Sun said he is positive about China's natural gas market this year, as the Chinese government could roll out a new pricing mechanism and increase domestic gas prices.
"We suffered a total of 41.9 billion yuan in losses from importing piped natural gas from Central Asia last year. As gas imports have dented our profitability, we expect the government to accelerate natural gas pricing reforms," he said.
PetroChina's revenue rose 9.6% to 2.2 trillion yuan in 2012 due to increases in oil and gas output. However, its net profit fell 13% to 115.33 billion yuan from 132.96 billion yuan in 2011, because of losses from its natural gas and refining businesses. It was below the average 125.1 billion yuan forecast of 29 analysts polled earlier by Thomson Reuters.
High crude costs squeezed its downstream refining and chemical operations last year as China's fuel-pricing system prevents refiners from passing on higher costs to consumers.
To contain inflation, the government often forces the two largest refiners--PetroChina and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., or Sinopec--to maintain prices for refined products even when crude oil prices surge in the global market.
Analysts expect domestic refining margins to improve in the first quarter after the government raised domestic gasoline and diesel prices by 3.5%-3.8% in late February. The government will likely implement a new fuel policy in the near term, they said.

Zoo-ology: White-nosed coati are intelligent day prowlers
April 3, 2011 at 3:05 p.m.
Updated April 2, 2011 at 11:03 p.m.
By Judie Farnsworth
One of the first areas at The Texas Zoo houses the white-nosed coati. Many visitors excitedly approach, then pause, exclaiming, "What is it?"
The very appealing and often animated coati is a member of the raccoon family. There are four species, but the white-nosed coati is the one found in the New World.
In the Texas wild, it's found in parts of the southwest. Arid deserts, mountain areas, grassland, bushy and wooded areas are all suitable habitats.
It's primarily day active (diurnal) and is apt to spend nights asleep in a tree.
Its strong body is 1 to 2 feet long with fur in shades of brown. It has a black mask and white around its eyes, snout and ears. An impressive ringed tail is often 2 feet long and held high when walking. It may act as a signal keeping groups, called bands, together in tall grasses and helps with balance when climbing.
The coati's ankles can rotate beyond 180 degrees. It easily descends trees head first.
Like the raccoon, the coati has a reputation for intelligence.
Males and females look alike, but males are much larger.
The coati's long, pointed snout tilts upward. It's muscular, flexible and can be rotated up to 60 degrees in any direction. With an exceptional sense of smell, the coati sniffs the ground, pushing leaf litter with its snout. When food is found, sharp claws are used to dig. The coati is an omnivore, eating vegetation and meat. Its diet may include termites, spiders, scorpions, beetles and grubs, mice, lizards, snakes and frogs. It also eats fruit and nuts. One of its favorites is prickly pear.
Females are gregarious, traveling and foraging with their young in noisy bands of sometimes 25 individuals. They work together grooming, nursing, baby-sitting and defending. The youngest pups are often kept at the center of a group for safety.
Their communications involve many sounds. Various chirping sounds express joy during social grooming, settlement after fights, or show irritation.
Body postures convey simple messages - hiding the nose between the front paws is a sign for submission.
Male coatis are mostly solitary. They're included in the family or natal group until about 2 years old. Then life gets complicated. The growing collective aggression of the females leaves the male no choice but to "get out of Dodge."
The young male may join a small bachelor band for a time. He competes with other males to join females - briefly - during breeding season. Once the male has mated, the females force him out.
Females leave the band when they are about to give birth and return when the pups are five to six weeks old.
In the wild, coatis live for about seven to eight years. In captivity they can live 15 years.
We have two white-nosed coatis at The Texas Zoo. Bart, also known as Old Timer, is a senior citizen born here in 1997. Our other coati came to us when he was about 6 months old. He is now 2.
Fortunately, there are no pushy females, and the boys get along just fine.
Judie Farnsworth is a long time volunteer at the Texas Zoo specializing in educational programs.

I think Krisily looks really good, a lot better than I remember her looking.

Elizabeth should have dyed her eyebrows if she was going to go that blonde. She looked better as a brunette, IMO.

I stuck my carving knife into the roasted chicken and recoiled in horror. What sort of foul monster was this? It was like no chicken I had encountered before.
My blade scraped against a bony carapace, as if someone had stretched puckered skin over a turtle shell. Where was the tasty meat?
And then I realized that the chicken was upside down. I was attempting to cut into its back, not its breast. Before she put it in the oven, my 19-year-old daughter Beatrice had put the dang bird in the roasting pan the wrong way up.
I sighed and thought: Just how stupid is my daughter, anyway?
And then I thought: You are a bad parent. You did not show Beatrice the correct way to position a chicken in a roasting pan. Who knows what other gaps she has in her education?
Beatrice has cooked chickens before, but I guess they were foolproof, automatic chickens, the ones with the little pop-up button. With those, you don't need to know where a chicken's breast is, just that the button should go face-up. They're like the battery in your digital camera: They can only go in one way.
The Case of the Upside-Down Chicken was only the first of several troubling recent incidents that made me question the intelligence of my children and my fitness as a father.
I was talking with Beatrice — about what, I can't remember — when I used the word "nap," as in: "The nap of that fabric is pretty rough."
Beatrice said, "The what?"
Apparently, in 19 years, I had never taught her the word that means "the downy or hairy surface of cloth formed by short hairs or fibers, esp. when artificially raised by brushing, etc."
A few days later I was talking on Skype with my older daughter, Gwyneth. I said something like, "You should do something about that hank of hair."
Gwyneth said, "That what?"
In 21 years, I had never taught her the word that means "a loop or coil of something flexible; 560 yards of worsted yarn; 840 yards of cotton yarn."
All of us have gaps in our knowledge, words or skills that for whatever reason we never learned.
As I've mentioned in this space before, I didn't know what the word "cutlery" meant until I was almost a teenager. I was at dinner at a friend's house one night when his mom asked me to help set the table. Get the cutlery, she said.
The what?
Sometimes there are words we've only seen in type. We know what they mean, but when we pronounce them in our heads it's according to some inner logic. We employ some boutique, artisanal pronunciation.
I had a friend who in his head would hear "mizzled" every time he came across the word "misled."
If we're lucky, we hear someone else pronounce these words correctly and we figure out from the context that we've been saying them wrong.
If we're unlucky, we raise our hand in English class and launch into an impassioned argument that ends with us saying, "It's clear that Shakespeare intended for Macbeth to be mizzled by the three witches."
A lot of us drop out of college after something like that.
Then there are words or phrases that we pronounce just fine but whose meanings we misunderstand. For years, I thought the word "spendthrift" meant someone who was very careful with his money, very thrifty.
Apparently, it means the exact opposite.
But enough about me and my idiotic family. What about you and yours? What bits of supposedly common knowledge eluded you for years? How did you embarrass — or nearly embarrass — yourself? E-mail your confessions to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, with "Wrong" in the subject line.
What words did you mispronounce or misunderstand? Did you mistakenly eat the corn husk wrapping on a tamale?
Or do you not know which side of the chicken is the breast? As I told Beatrice, it's the one with the nipples.

Milos Krasic's future at Juventus is in real doubt. "Coach Antonio Conte doesn't want him anymore," said his representative.
Krasic, signed from CSKA Moscow in 2010 for €15.5m, has recently lost his place in the Old Lady's starting line-up.
He began the campaign on the right wing, but Conte now fields a 4-1-4-1 system that sees Mirko Vucinic and Simone Pepe fielded on the flanks.
"Conte doesn't want him anymore," agent Dejan Joksimovic is quoted as saying in the Serbian media on Monday.
"Milos has to play so the best thing we can do for him now is to find a new club.
"Chelsea and Manchester City made bids for him in the summer, but Juve turned them down.
"You never know what will happen, but both of those clubs have yet to adequately fill the position of right winger in their starting line-ups.
"Juventus must act quickly because while he is not playing, Krasic's price in the market is dropping day after day.
"Krasic must play and in one month's time we should have a clearer picture. We will see how the story develops from now until Christmas."
The Serbian international has also been paired with Borussia Dortmund recently, but Joksimovic snubbed that option.
"I think Krasic is a bit bigger than Borussia at the moment," he added. "These are stories without any substance."
Krasic, 27, has started just four League games for the Old Lady this term and he's featured in only 306 minutes of action.

It's the end of the semester, and you know what that means: You can sell back your textbooks! You can catch up on Gray's! You can sleep in until noon! Oh yeah, and you can dig out your coffee shop uniforms, your retail name tags, and your non-slip serving shoes as you return to your old part-time job for the sixth year in a row. It seemed like such a great idea as a freshman in college to have a way to earn money on your weekends and breaks, but now that you're a year away from earning your degree, cashing and serving just doesn't do it for you. Perhaps it's time to turn in those aprons for a job that gives you experience in your field, and more importantly, truly means something to you. Where do you find a job like that?
Here are some resources you can use to find that great summer job:
People to Talk To:
College Professors: Despite what you may think, professors are usually very busy over their summer vacations teaching other classes, conducting research, or working on publications. Talk to your professors about summer jobs. They might have a colleague or friend who is looking for some assistance on a project.
Alumni: Colleges and universities often keep careful track of their alumni including where they're currently located, what they're currently doing, and how to contact them. Find a few graduates in your area five to ten years older than you, and send them a quick email. They've been out in the "real world" for a while now and may know of a business that could use you for the summer.
Places to Go:
Career Development Office: Most colleges have a career center designed to assist students with things from choosing a major to finding a job. If your career councilor doesn't know where you could spend your summer, they would have the best advice on where to look next.
Spreading the Word:
Social Media: The more people who know you're looking for something besides the donut shop this summer, the more likely you are to find someone who can help you out. By Facebook and Twittering your desire for a particular job, the audience hearing your message travels far beyond your two best friends and family. Let the world know you're looking for something more.
Your Classmates: Send an email out to everyone in your major . Chances are, some of your classmates already have their foot in the door and wouldn't mind helping someone else spend their summer gaining the same experience.

High winds, torrential rain and crashing waves killed two people in the Canary Islands and forced a Spanish opera house to close, and blustery weather elsewhere in Europe delayed trains and caused severe flooding.
Authorities have warned that more wild weather will hit this week.
A 47-year-old man and an 11-year-old girl drowned in the Canary Islands when they were swept away by waves on La Graciosa Island on Friday, the regional government said yesterday.
Two other members of the same family, a 16-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, were rescued by boats.
In another incident, a Russian yachtsman was plucked from his foundering vessel.
Valencia's opera house, which was to have hosted a concert, was shut after parts of the building's masonry fell off.
Regional government spokesman Maximo Buch said the building would remain closed until repairs make it safe again.
The music venue, designed by Valencia-born architect Santiago Calatrava, made headlines in 2006 when it was revealed that it cost more than 332 million ($560m) - four times the original budget - to build.
In Britain, foul weather complicated efforts to clean up from a previous storm which hit just before Christmas, lashing the nation with driving rain, causing floods, cutting power and disrupting travel plans for thousands of people.
British energy authorities said yesterday 20,000 people around the country were without power.
The power cuts led to an on-camera confrontation on Friday for Prime Minister David Cameron, who was visiting the flood-hit village of Yalding, in southern England.
A woman accosted him and accused electricity authority staff of going on their Christmas break without ensuring power was turned back on.
France's national weather service raised the flood alert for much of France's northwest on Friday.
The Interior Ministry warned that areas that were flooded in another storm this week could be hit again.
An oil tanker that ran aground off the Moroccan port of Tan Tan during high winds on Monday remained stuck there yesterday. The vessel did not appear to be leaking any of its 5000-tonne cargo.
Meanwhile, residents along Western Australia's northern coast are preparing for a possible cyclone and ships are leaving the area.
A tropical low was forecast to develop into a cyclone last night, bringing 100km/h wind gusts and heavy rain to coastal areas of the Kimberley region.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a cyclone warning for coastal areas from Cape Leveque to Broome and a cyclone watch alert from Broome to Mardie.
The weather system, north northwest of Broome, is expected to intensify over the weekend as it travels southwest towards the Pilbara coast.
The Port Hedland Port Authority said the Pilbara iron ore export hub was expected to be hit by gales, so port evacuations began yesterday

Ahh, summertime — that magical time of the year when "have fun" is on everyone's "to do" list.
And good news for the children already out of school — there's lots of fun in the forecast right away.
For budget-strapped families facing summer 2014, there is a plethora of things to do close to home — thanks to the folks at the San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Department.

Concerts take place on the university's grassy Lower Commons for five consecutive weeks. Shows start at 7 p.m. and last about two hours.
Admission to the concerts is free, as is parking in Lot D.
July 2, the series kicks off with the Latin Society, one of the best Big Band Latin sounds around, performing such tunes as "Guantanamera," "Oye Como Va" and "Hot, Hot, Hot."
July 9, next up are The Mighty Joaquins, a band that plays all things country. Their music is in the style of Keith Urban, Tom Petty and Rascal Flatts. They call their sound "pure ear candy."
July 16, the California lifestyle comes alive with all the memories of summer as the Beach Boys Tribute, Keepin' the Summer Alive, performs the familiar musical tracks — from "Don't Worry Baby," to "Surfin' USA."
