RPS member Dan Kirshner made a presentation on the use of Lightroom, an Adobe software product that allows organization and editing of photographs. Lightroom is excellent for organizing, culling, cataloging and searching images. It has a wide array of editing tools such as cropping, spot removal, exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows and color adjustments. Editing can be done on the entire image or just a localized part using a brush feature. Unlike Photoshop, all editing is non-destructive, no changes are ever made to the original image file. There is a history of adjustments made and the final image can be printed directly from Lightroom or exported and saved separately from the original. Lightroom is relatively easy to learn and is a good way to get started with photography software, before graduating to the more complicated editing offered by Adobe Photoshop.

The past history of Namor of Earth-776 mirrors that of his Earth-616 counterpart up until shortly after the Hulk left the Avengers. Much like on Earth-616, the Hulk would soon encounter the Sub-Mariner and after a brief battle the two would agree to join together. They would contact Iron Man and issue a challenge to him and the Avengers unaware that the Avengers had disbanded.
Iron Man would be forced to super-charge his armor and face the two alone after an unsuccessful attempt to reunite the Avengers. During the battle, Iron Man would have the upper-hand against both combatants until his power source would begin to run out. The Sub-Mariner would then make short work of Iron Man, severely beating him and damaging his armor and leaving him for dead. He would then be attacked by the Armored Avengers (Rick Jones, Henry Pym and Janet van Dyne in armor made by Tony Stark). They would prove to be merely a nuisance at best and Namor and the Hulk would have an edge over them in battle. This is until the Hulk would realize that one of the Armored Avengers was his old friend Rick Jones, just as the Sub-Mariner was attempting to dash the young man against some rocks. The Hulk would attack the Sub-Mariner, and battling each other under water, the Sub-Mariner would find the fight futile and flee the scene to plot revenge anew[1].
Namor's current activities remain unrevealed.

Michael Kors Montreal to the manufacturer to rectify failures
Thermal expansion, longitudinal magnetostriction and magnetization under high pressures of YbCuAl are presented. All results are in complete accordance with what is expected for a compound containing Yb in the mixed-valent state. An algorithm is described which calculates the distribution function of light absorbed within a light diffusion box of arbitrary interior reflectance R(x) illuminated by Michael Kors Handbags Canada a "point" source on its surface. The accuracy of the code is demonstrated by its application to recent experimental cosmic ray data. Let p be the characteristic of the finite field GF(q), and let e be a divisor of q−1, e≥3. We determine the Michael Kors Montreal cyclotomic numbers of order e over GF(q) for the case where −1 is a power of p modulo e. In this case most of the cyclotomic numbers are equal. We also prove a theorem about difference sets. For repairable items sold with free replacement warranty, the actions available to the manufacturer to rectify failures under warranty are to 1.(1) repair the failed item or2.(2) replace it with a new one.A proper repair-replace strategy can reduce the expected cost of servicing the warranty. In this paper, we study repair-replace strategies for items sold with a two-dimensional free replacement warranty.

Today's world is full of seemingly unsolvable problems, from conflict to poverty to environmental degradation. But very occasionally somebody comes up with a simple and innovative idea; one that changes the way we look at some of these great challenges, and gives us real hope that they can be overcome. This is what Boyan Slat, an award winning 22-year-old Dutch inventor and entrepreneur, has already achieved with his initiative, The Ocean Cleanup.
The mission of The Ocean Cleanup is to help rid the world's oceans of plastic through the development of a passive system that acts as an artificial coastline, and uses the natural ocean currents to catch and concentrate plastic rubbish before it is extracted, stored and shipped to land for recycling. A prototype of the system is currently being tested in the North Sea with the aim to start installing the first full-scale array in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by 2020.
As an agency it is not every day that we have the opportunity to support such an exciting and important initiative. We are very proud therefore to be contributing our knowledge and expertise to The Ocean Cleanup as it turns Boyan's vision into reality, and to have been appointed as an Official Supporter of The Ocean Cleanup.
For more information on our work with The Ocean Cleanup please contact Sylvie Aitken on sylvieaspectconsulting.eu. For more information on The Ocean Cleanup visit www.theoceancleanup.com.

Review of Game #1 – Browns vs. Redskins
It was nothing flashy, but a respectable outing by the Cleveland Browns. The starting units held their own against the visitors and were beneficiaries of a few costly mistakes early. Overall it was a solid starting point for the 2015 campaign. Let's review what went down at First Energy Stadium.
Quarterback – The game plan for the offense appeared to be, "take what the defense gives you". No matter if it was Josh McCown or Johnny Manziel under center; the Browns were content in dumping shorter routes as opposed to attempting longer throws. McCown ushered a seventy-five yard touchdown, while Manziel ran in a score as well. There's quite a bit of room to grow, but not a terrible start for this duo.
Running Back – I believe this position will be extremely deemphasized during all of this exhibition season. This is probably for the best, as there is little to gain, while the threat of injuries loom large. That said, Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West had a pedestrian performance in this contest (Crowell's biggest play might have been a tackle on special teams). I am not too concerned about this group right now – but improvement will be needed in the coming weeks.
Wide Receivers – McCown hit a few of his targets early on – that was the hightlight of the receiving game for the Browns. Brian Hartline made some nice moves in open field, while Travis Benjamin got open and advanced the ball. The duo combined for five grabs, tops for all guys in the first half. I would still like to see the whole group be available (including Dwayne Bowe and Terrelle Pryor) but that might not come for some time.
Tight End – Not a tremendous amount of output by the tight ends. Gary Barnidge, Jim Dray, and Rob Housler could not secure a catch with the first and second units. However, rookie E.J. Bibbs had one reception for five yards – leading the group when most of the starters were playing. I expect the team to utilize this position group in the regular season, which athletes and how many targets is the question.
Defensive Line – Danny Shelton led the unit that held the Redskins in check when rushing the football. It was not until the backups went in when the orange and brown struggled in stopping their opponents on the ground. Other that that, it was a quiet night for this group (which is not surprising). There were zero designed edge rushers and nothing to confuse their opponents. Hopefully we will get more of a look at this group next Thursday.
Linebackers – It was somewhat quiet by this unit as well, at least early on. The trio in the inside was solid in making plays when given the opportunities. All three had key stops in the first half of this contest. Only Paul Kruger's hit on Robert Griffin III was noteworthy by the outside linebackers – the rest was forgettable. Without Barkevious Mingo available, Scott Solomon could not stand out as a viable replacement. However, next week is another opportunity for the veteran to make his mark.
Secondary – The absences of Joe Haden and Pierre Desir were felt early and often. Justin Gilbert was picked on during the first two drives of the Redskins. Aside from Pierre Garcon getting behind him and dropping an easy pass – Gilbert looked decent in coverage. He's got to improve tremendously (and fast), but I suppose this game can be a stepping-stone for the second year pro. Tashaun Gipson made a few nice plays at safety; I am glad he picked up where he left off in 2014.
Special Teams: Forcing a pair of turnovers early, successfully making a field goal, and having decent returns on kickoffs and punts all occurred by the orange and brown. That's about all you can ask for in the first game of the preseason. I envision necessary growth by this unit during the regular season.
Overall, I am content that the Browns can build from this performance. They were not great, but much better than they have been in years past in exhibition openers – and ahead of their counterparts (at least when the starters were playing).

Starting from Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, throughout the series there are three Puzzle Battles. These are very similar to puzzles as they are brainteasers in which you are trying to find a single correct answer. They are all found in the main story line of the game.
Professor Layton and the Unwound FutureEdit
Future Luke vs. Professor Layton EditPuzzle Battles are little fights between Professor Layton and couple of other intellectuals Layton comes across. The first Puzzle Battle is against the Future Luke whenever Layton and Luke first meet him at the Gilded 7 Casino. Future Luke proclaims he doesn't believe that Layton is the real one and challenges him to a battle of wits.
- US Version
Four cards sit in a line.
- A heart is next to a diamond.
- A club is not next to a spade.
- A heart is to the immediate right of a club.
Tap the spade.
- UK Version
Four cards sit in a line:
- A heart is next to a diamond.
- A club is not next to a spade.
- A heart is directly to the right of a club.
Can you work out which one is the spade, Professor? Touch that card.
Then Future Luke asks Professor Layton to make his own puzzle up. However Professor Layton thinks of an impossible puzzle. Future Luke then catches on to what the professor is doing, and he notices that he is indeed the genuine Professor Layton.
Dimitri Allen vs. Professor Layton EditLater on Professor Layton will come across the powerful and menacing Future Professor Layton. Then Future Layton takes off his hat and he turns out to be Dr. Stahngun who is actually Dimitri Allen, a scientist who worked on a time machine 10 years ago. He is the holder of the second Puzzle Battle. During this one, Layton and Dimitri each have five soldiers. Each soldier represented by a flag.
- US Version
Arrange your forces so that the red side avoids defeat. When you're ready to submit your answer, tap OK! to proceed.
- UK Version
Each soldier will engage one soldier from the other side in combat. Pair each of your red troops against one of the opposing white troops. Your troops are marked with an icon depicting Professor Layton. The strength of each soldier is represented by the number of stars on his banner.
Arrange your forces so that the red side avoids defeat.
Touch OK! to submit your answer.
Professor Layton then finds a way to tie with Dimitri's seemingly unstoppable setup. After they complete their puzzle battle a conversation begins and it is learned that Professor Layton is actually Don Paolo in disguise as he made a deal with the real professor some time beforehand.
Dimitri Allen vs. Professor Layton (2) EditThe third and final Puzzle Battle is found at the Thames Arms when Professor Layton is about to figure out the answers regarding this so-called Future London. This Puzzle Battle has Professor Layton selecting various spots on a chart given to him by Dimitri. Dimitri plans to escape the Thames Arms by simply walking out of the door. The piece of paper he gave Layton houses the information as to where the bombs that Dimitri has placed are located.
Find all the sensors.
The numbers written above and to the left of the map indicate the number of sensors present in each column and row, respectively.
Derive the location of all sensors using the information provided, and mark them on your map.
However one problem with his plan was that the placement of the bombs spelled out "LIE". So that means that as soon as they got up they would explode and die, unless there were no bombs at all. After Layton had ruined Dimitri's escape play he explains the secrets of Future London and reasons for his plans.
European version Edit
The European version of the game has a different version of the third and final Puzzle Battle. It has the same concept, but has a slightly different design and wording.
Find all the bombs.
The numbers written above and to the left of the map indicate the number of bombs in each column and row. Red dots indicate people and squares indicate tables. There are no bombs in these squares.
Derive the location of all bombs using the information provided, and mark them on your map.
The puzzle is actually solved differently as there is a different design. Instead of LIE, this shows ∞ (the symbol for infinity). Luke mistakes this for the time left before the bombs exploded.
Professor Layton and the Last SpecterEdit
Bridge to the manorEdit
When Hershel and Emmy Altava is on their way to the Triton Estate. They found the bridge tied off with a rope which leads to the part of the town where the estate is.Emmy suggest to hack and slash their way through while Layton suggest a one cut.(which he already figure it out)
(Need solution)
Professor Layton and the Miracle MaskEdit
Layton and Co. VS. Frankie and ConnorEdit
The first Puzzle Battle in Miracle Mask begins during Layton and co.'s confrontation with Frankie on the road to the Ledore estate. Connor steps in to settle the dispute peacefully, proposing a simple cup-and-ball puzzle to decide whether the three would continue or not.
Both Luke and Emmy try first, and both lose to Frankie. Layton, working out the trick behind the puzzle, takes his turn and asks to pick his choice before Frankie, and wins. Both Frankie and Connor storm off in a rage.
When Luke and Emmy ask how he did it, Layton explains that the trick behind the puzzle was that Connor would subtly point at the tumbler that the ball was underneath, hence why Frankie kept picking the correct one.

Master Classes with Festival Artists
Festival Mozaic is proud to offer free master classes to local performers and students in San Luis Obispo County. Since the its inception in 2011, this series has presented 38 free classes (click here for list).
What is a master class?
A master class is a a class given to students in a specific discipline by an expert in that discipline - usually in music, but can be in other areas like drama, painting, or other arts where skills are being developed. The difference between a normal class and a master class is typically the setup. In a master class, all the students (and spectators) watch and listen as the master takes one student at a time. The student usually performs a single piece which they have prepared, and the master will give them advice on how to play it, often including anecdotes about the composer, demonstrations of how to play certain passages, and suggestions on how to combat technical errors. The student is then usually expected to play the piece again, in light of the master's comments, and the student may be asked to play a passage repeatedly to improve. The value of the master class setup is that all students can benefit from the master's comments on each piece, and each student gains valuable performance experience.
All master classes are FREE to participate in and to attend! Come watch talented young students perform as they are guided and instructed by Festival artists, who are gifted teachers in addition to gifted performers. These classes are fun and informative for musicians and non-musicians alike! Contact General Manager Dave George with any questions or if you are a student interested in participating in a class.
The Master Class series is generously sponsored by the Handler & Steiner Family Fund at the Community Foundation of San Luis Obispo County.

We love stories! Every couple has their own & one of our favorite parts about being wedding photographers is meeting with newly engaged couples & hearing theirs. The joy of it. The freshness of it. The excitement of it. We can't get enough! And at the end of it, our couples always ask, "What about you?" So, we decided to share our story too. From our college campus to building our dream home, here's our story from "I noticed you" to "I do."
Part 9: To Whom It may Concern
It was the perfect end of summer when the world seemed to be creating the most amazing mixture of weather & life. School had started back after a tough summer apart while Katie had been in Miami on a mission trip. Long distance was hard, but Katie & Alec were back together and inseparable like never before. Now they got to see each other nearly every day on campus and today was no exception.
Alec had planned a date for them based on something Katie had talked on and on about. CiCi's Pizza. Romance central. When you're in college and broke it feels like a totally different ambiance & level of class.
Alec showed up in his little white Jeep Wrangler that rattled on the interstate when the wind whipped the soft top. He looked so good sitting in the front seat as he pulled in front of her dorm. Katie jumped in and off they went on their big date night. Over that cheap CiCi's pizza & desserts they talked about everything: school, Miami, friends, God, and the future. Now that they were back together in person they thought of that a lot more but they didn't talk about it. They couldn't help it though. Especially when they saw this sweet elderly couple sitting in the booth behind them, hand-in-hand. You could see years of life worn on them, yet they were still holding hands, loving one another like they probably always had.
It sparked something in Katie & Alec and they dreamed about the days when maybe they would be that lucky. Maybe it would be with each other and that thought thrilled them. What if this was the person they'd spend their life with? The conversation moved another direction with their final few bites of brownies & cinnamon rolls. Both of them kept the thought of it going within them and the car ride home was so sweet.
When they pulled back into the dorms neither one of them wanted it to end but life beckoned. As Katie walked back towards her dorm, Alec frantically lowered his window with the manual crank and yelled out her name and said, "Hey, I'm gonna marry you someday." What she said next melted him inside & shocked her, "Bring it on…"
An actual excerpt from Alec's journal that night: "Last night, I just got to spend some time with her and realized that I wanted to spend everyday with her. When I dropped her off, I said 'Hey, I'm gonna marry you some day'. She grinned and said 'Bring it on'. Oh my goodness it was so cute. I really love this girl and I'm so happy with where I am."

The Helen Thomas award
Just landed in my inbox:
ADC to Honor Helen Thomas at Convention and Inaugurate Journalism Scholarship
Washington DC | March 30th, 2009 | www.adc.org | Since the Kennedy Administration in the early 1960s many policies and initiatives have changed from President to President, but one thing has been consistent; the watchful eye of Arab-American Journalist Helen Thomas who broke all barriers for female journalists. As a central figure in the White House Press corps, and the current Dean, Helen Thomas has always asked tough questions. Even when much of the media establishment failed to question the evidence that led us into war in Iraq, Helen Thomas was among the few who maintained journalistic integrity and responsibility by putting tough questions before the White House.
Now, questioning her 10th President, Helen Thomas continues to be a role model for young journalists throughout this country. At this year's National Convention, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee will inaugurate a journalism scholarship in Helen Thomas' name to be awarded to outstanding college students majoring in journalism. Helen Thomas will address the convention and more details about the scholarship application will be available soon.

Realistic Targets For Community Development
Lets forget about luck, at least for now.
So forget about the people that visit via search engines, referrals and other channels over which you have limited control.
If you need to set targets, then do it based upon the activities you control.
If you invite 5 people a day to join the community, it's not unreasonable (assuming your invites are personalized and highly targeted) to expect 3 – 4 of the recipients to join.
Of these, 2 might still be active after a few months. Over time, you should get better at this and increase your ratios, but lets not focus on that for now.
Based upon these assumptions, you can make a prediction for the early growth of your community based upon your own actions.
So if you spend 5 hours inviting 25 people a week, you can reasonably expect your community to grow by 40 members a month. That sounds small, but most communities develop this way.
Now if you spend 10 hours a week and invite 50 people, that figure doubles (this is where organizations that have a big budget for community development should invest in staff to do this work and not the platform).
Better still, you can measure this. After the first few weeks, you can identify how many people you invited actually joined. Then you can set benchmarks and future predictions.
Later you will get referral growth. Members will mention the community to their friends, they will share discussions via social networks, and a few might drift in from search engines. When this happens you can measure this and benchmark this and set new predictions.

Global disaster: Twitter goes down
Oh dear god, nooo!!! The unimaginable has happened. Draw the curtains, gather the family near. This is not going to be easy.
Twitter .. is not working.
This is unthinkable. How will we know whether @StephenFry has had his poo today?
How will the lonely, 50-something, lifetime socialist spinster behind the facade of the gorgeous, pouting @BevaniteEllie be able continue to praise the Labour party for everything from making the sun come up this morning to inventing kittens?
How will @oleuanna and @trouserquandry be able to continue their wildly fucking irritating online flirt-a-thon?
How will the poor intern who has to pretend to be @johnprescott manage to dispense gritty pearls of Northern wisdom?
What, in short, will become of Western civilization?
CF couldn't give a flying fuck, frankly.
It's far too hot. Time for a cold beer, and a 'real' conversation with someone in the same room..

5 Ways to Sneak Exercise into Your Week
As ambitious career women, most of us feel crunched for time most of the time (or so it seems). Not to mention the exercise and fitness gender gap. Women are still doing more of the housework and childcare as a "second shift" at home, leaving less time for wellness. With such packed schedules, how exactly are we supposed to fit exercise into our lives?
Here are 5 ways to make room for fitness now:
1. Schedule Fitness
Fitness is just as important as work meetings, so why don't we schedule it into our personal calendars? In fact, Bossed Up finds this so important, it's included in the Bossed Up Manifesto. Without fitness you can be at a higher risk of heart disease and other health anomalies. After all, if you're hospitalized, recovering from a health scare, or 6 feet under, you won't be worrying about those "important" work meetings. It's time to make time for exercise or your body will take that time from you.
2. Netflix Binge
You read that right. I'm encouraging you to binge watch your favorite shows as part of your fitness routine. You can do this by practicing "pairing," a technique that Gretchen Rubin has discussed on the Happier podcast. In pairing, you match one of your favorite things with a not so favorite activity. In this case, pair your next binge worthy tv show to running or walking on the treadmill. Whenever you're craving your TV show, you'll have to hit the gym too. This is also known as temptation bundling which is referenced in both Bossed Up Bootcamp and the Lifetracker.
3. Activity Tracking
Do you even know how much activity you're getting on the daily? Jumping on the Fitbit, Jawbone, or Apple Watch bandwagon might be the reality check you need to see just how little activity you're getting during the workday. Fitness trackers have the ability to remind you to get up and move when you've been sitting too long and setting goals within the app can also create some extra motivation and accountability when you're just not feeling it.
4. Money Motivation
Sometimes money is simply the best motivator and there are apps to cater to this drive. Achievemint is an app that connects to your activity tracker. When you walk, sleep, or log a weigh in you'll earn points. Every 10,000 points you earn gets you $10.00. Pact tracks your exercise or diet through your activity tracker or check in at the gym. When you create a pact, you set a goal to workout a certain number of days during the week. If you complete your pact, then you receive a payout. If you fail, you are charged and that payment is distributed to those who kept their pact. This app gives a direct reward or cost for meeting or not meeting your fitness goals.
5. Friendly Fitness
I've recently joined a weekly FitBit challenge with my work colleagues for our Workweek Hustle. My 10,000 steps goal which I'd hit just over half the week is now getting killed when my friends and I go on walks, often getting upwards of 20,000 steps a day. The friendly competition motivates us to skip the Netflix binges and get moving. Being able to combine fitness, fun, and friends makes a workout feel less like work.
With spring's arrival, now is the perfect time to try squeezing fitness into your routine. Take charge of your body and wellness to stop burn out before it happens. In the comments below, tell me what motivates you to work on your fitness!

Apparently Not
Two weeks ago tonight, in the post I'm Back, I apologized for the longest hiatus in the five years of Ron's View.
The longer I go without writing, the larger my list of overdue items and the harder it is to get back in the rhythm. Being in San Francisco two weekends ago (for a wedding) and New York/Chicago last weekend (for family, then business) made it difficult to find time to write. Yet, the trips gave me more to write about. And this weekend had its own major event, which perhaps I'll get to at some point.
It appears that I was premature in my announcement, in part due to the major event to which I referred, which would be my mother-in-law Bea's death two weeks ago. That led a week ago to another eventful weekend, with pre-funeral dinner on Friday, funeral and dinner on Saturday, post-funeral immediate family dinner Sunday. And this weekend, well, Thanksgiving has brought more family events. It's been a full month.
Tonight I'll see if I can start catching up. I'll begin here with a photo (up top) from our walk through Central Park three weekends ago, as we were heading to the Frick. You may recognize the remote-controlled model sailboats as the rentals available at the park's Conservatory Water.
Quote of the Day
From the NYT Sunday Vows column—the column that keeps on giving—a passage today. The column features newly married Philippe Cousteau Jr., grandson of Jacques Cousteau, and Ashlan Gorse. We learn that Mr. Cousteau was
mesmerized by her spontaneity and boldness, particularly after she told him that she had once volunteered to swim with sharks wearing only a bikini and a mask. Not to mention that she has visited over 60 countries, thrown the first pitch at a Dodgers game, sky-dived with the Army, zip-lined through a Costa Rican rain forest and nearly sacked Joe Montana during a celebrity football game.
As a bonus, we're treated to two brief but tantalizing descriptions of our wonder woman. At the civil ceremony at the city hall of Paris's 8th arrondissement:
The bride, in gilded stilettos and a tight white dress with a low-cut back, clutched a red rose and her livret de famille, a family record book that is given to all the newlyweds in France.
At a second ceremony three days later, which took place in "a 16th-century castle near Versailles that has been turned into a flamboyant four-star hotel":
Before the vows were pronounced, the long-legged bride, dressed up in a dashing white bustier dress from Lazaro, stood in front of the groom with a bouquet of lilies, as tears occasionally fell from her eyes.
A Wedding and a Homophone Pair
The summer of limited blogging continues. Between work, remodel, and social events, I see little room for improvement. Prior to the past week, we'd been to four weddings in a two-week period, plus a sixtieth birthday party. This week brought a retirement party and a wedding tripleheader: rehearsal dinner Friday, wedding Saturday, post-wedding brunch Sunday (today). All of which was wonderful, but not conducive to blogging.
The bride is the daughter of good friends, and the officiant was Gail, which put us in the middle of the action. Gail anyway. Me, not so much, though I did get to observe, and to meet a lot of fascinating people on the groom's side whom I may not see much of again. But for three days they were constant companions.
There's the groom's aunt from Fort Worth, and her husband, who runs the business side of a large university down that way, which means—when we found ourselves sitting side by side at the wedding reception last night—that we ended up having a lot in common. Especially beef, as it turned out. They've given it up mostly, in favor of fish, chicken, and a healthier diet. But they talked about ribeye steaks and barbecue in the most enticing of ways. I had previously wished to visit Fort Worth in order to see the Amon Carter Museum. Now I want to drop by their place for the ribeyes, the barbecue, and steak fajitas.
Also for a piece of golf history, as the uncle took golf lessons in his youth from the famed golf pro atColonial and lived near Shady Oaks, where Ben Hogan ate lunch and played golf for decades. Plus, the aunt's storytelling. She's quite the monologuist. At the rehearsal dinner the night before, she gave such detailed descriptions of Fort Worth summers that I was sweltering.
I could continue running through all the people we met and what I learned from them, but maybe I shouldn't. There is of course the bride's aunt, whom we've met before, and uncle, whom I talked with last night (as I did last September) about their vineyard. It turns out that tomorrow is the day that Quilceda Creek Vintners up in Snohomish makes their latest releases available online for purchase, so I especially enjoyed getting his insight into them and Washington wineries in general. Plus—small world and all that—today I talked shop with their daughter the math grad student and her boyfriend the fellow math grad student. I don't see mathematicians at too many weddings. Well, except weddings of mathematicians.
Speaking of small worlds and coincidences, we got to talking with the groom's father towards the end of the rehearsal dinner at his home Friday. Well into the conversation, when he asked about our kids, it emerged that the groom and Joel were born the same day, a couple of hours—and a few states—apart. They even went to the same school, but not at the same time, the groom leaving before Joel arrived for middle school.
This is where the homophone pair enters. Dinner consisted of an orzo salad that the father's wife later told us is from The Herbfarm Cookbook, a fruit salad, some other things I'm forgetting, and excellent salmon cooked over a large grill. The bride's father had mentioned earlier that he had been out fishing with the groom and his father the day before, but caught nothing. Now we learned from the groom's father that he and his son had in fact caught the salmon we ate earlier.
I imagined them in a powerboat, but as the father began to describe the outing, he said they they "rowed out." I had to change my image from powerboat to tiny rowboat, with father, son, and bride's father squeezed in. Next he said "in the car." They "rowed out in the car." Huh? Not powerboat or rowboat but car? This image didn't work. Something was wrong.
Time to re-parse. Ah, they "rode out in the car." That's it. They weren't in the water yet, they were on their way. That made more sense.
I found my confusion sufficiently interesting that after the father finished his story, I shared my confusion with him, Gail, and the bride's mother. Now I'm sharing it with you. I may as well get one post out of this weekend.
The wedding? It was beautiful. But that's another story.
The Villages, Here We Come
Odds are, we'll be staying in Seattle when retirement comes. And if we don't, Gail's preference will be to head straight to Nantucket. After last night's dinner at neighborhood favorite Cactus, though, I suggested we should consider The Villages. You know, that Florida retirement community with all the advertisements on TV? (And if you don't know, watch the video above.)
Why not? Restaurants. Nightly entertainment. Activities galore. No need to drive anywhere, except in golf carts. Plus, no kids! I mean, I love kids and all. Really, I do. But last night we were the only people at Cactus without children under the age of 3. Well, it was early, but still.
I always think of Cactus as a young adult hangout. The big bar. The noise. The excitement. That's the usual reason I drag my feet when Gail suggests we go there. The place is packed nightly, and everyone seems to be having way too much fun.
Evidently, those young adults got a little older and decided to have children, all of whom showed up yesterday.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. But we clearly didn't fit in (as I first realized when our overwhelmingly friendly waitress greeted us by asking if this was our first time in. It was all I could do to keep from saying we've been eating there since before she was born. Which might be true, by the way.) The kids hanging over our booth, babies bawling, parents standing over other people's tables with children in their arms were too distracting.
As we walked out, I suggested to Gail that we rethink our retirement and take a closer look at The Villages. When we got home, I did so.
There's a video about their newest restaurant, City Fire American Oven & Bar, that gives me confidence we won't be missing much.
It looks good, doesn't it? I suppose kids are allowed in restaurants when they're visiting with their parents, but all in all I picture life as quiet and idyllic. Lord knows, it's cheaper than Nantucket. And we could build our dream home there.
What's that? The Villages is owned by Gary Morse, major Romney supporter last year? Fox broadcasts from there frequently? Glenn Beck held a massive rally there in 2009? Oh, and this story from last November might give us pause. Here's one paragraph:
If Villages transplants aren't already disposed to conservative values, they'll get a good dose of them through the Morse family's small media empire. Fox News Radio is pumped daily out of speakers in town squares by the community radio station, WVLG-AM 640, making for an odd blend of sunny Villages-themed dispatches and distinctly right-leaning political news reports. A driver listening to Villages radio can step out of his car in one of the town squares and hear the same broadcast without missing a beat. In talking to HuffPost, several liberal residents likened the public speakers to Orwellian propaganda.
Gail, what are we to do? But watch the video below. Aren't they having fun?
The Continuing Decline
This summer continues to be a disaster for Ron's View, and I'm at a loss as to what can be done about it. As the Ron's View host explained in a post a couple of weeks ago, "other duties seem to be getting in the way." New work duties taken up on July 1. The never-ending kitchen remodel. And all those weddings. They don't stop.
Two weeks ago we were up in Oak Harbor Friday and Saturday for one, only to head south Sunday for another. More of the same this week, though confined to Seattle. We attended a wedding Thursday evening (interfering with what is often prime blogging time). And yesterday we went to a 3:00 wedding with a 7:00 reception, presenting us with the difficult dilemma of whether to drive all the way back across the city to spend some time home between the two or whether to stay on the other side of town in search of diversions.
We chose diversions, which turned out to be fun, other than our being a little overdressed. Ballard, the former independent waterfront city annexed by Seattle in 1907, was both the site of yesterday's events and the home of Gail's youth. Since the selling of her parents' house a few years ago, we don't get over there too often. Yesterday we got to revisit and explore, starting with an early dinner at Louie's Cuisine of China, the cavernous restaurant just north of the Ballard Bridge. I had never eaten there until a month and a half ago. Now it is becoming a regular. Not that the food is all that great, but Louie's features a classic Cantonese-American menu, an enjoyable change from our standard.
And Brown Bear Car Wash is just across the street. Not normally a reason to detour, but there's this remodel we're doing, as you know, and my car sits in the driveway under a maple tree these days instead of in the garage. Yes, I could park on the street, but the tree keeps the car cool. And messy. It needs washing, which it got in mid-June on our last visit to Louie's and again yesterday.
Then, off to see Gail's childhood home. We drove up the street to see the front side, then down the alley for a rear view. The foot of the alley lined us up to drive ten blocks west for one of the great views Seattle offers, from Sunset Hill Park.
Why oh why didn't I bring my new camera and take pictures? Here's one, from a city website.
The park sits atop a bluff, with Shilshole Bay and the Puget Sound shoreline directly below. Across the Sound directly west lies the north end of Bainbridge Island, and beyond that the Olympic Mountains. It's an expansive view from north-northwest to south-southwest.
Next we drove south through Ballard past Ristorante Picolinos, which we have been meaning to get over to for years. We did eat there unknowingly one afternoon three summers ago, the day after we had our 25th wedding anniversary party, in order to celebrate the wedding of our friends Sverre and Megan, who had married in Norway. The party was on the back patio and it took us another couple of years to realize that the restaurant we kept hearing about and intending to try—Picolinos—was the very place we had been to for this occasion. Since we entered the patio directly from the street, the restaurant's name never registered on us. Truth is, we should have eaten there last night instead of at Louie's. But they don't have a carwash across the street.
From Picolinos, we continued south to the Ballard Locks, hoping to find a parking spot and walk around by the canal, locks, and gardens. But parking there on a summer weekend is hopeless, so we continued driving instead, along the opening to the canal toward the waterfront, then north along the waterfront to Golden Gardens Park, another Seattle treasure that is impossible to park at on summer weekends.
Up the switchback road we went, back up to the bluffs, and then on through a variety of neighborhoods to the north of Ballard. This gave us the opportunity, as we meandered past houses with extraordinary views, to review why it is exactly that when we spent a year househunting twenty years ago, we didn't move to such neighborhoods.
We did look. In fact, we looked closely and fell in love with a house just north of Sunset Hill Park, hidden among the trees but completely open to the very views one has from the park. We passed that one up for fear that it would fall off the bluff in our lifetimes. Our drive last night offered examples of houses with almost as extraordinary views that aren't likely to slide down a hill. But that crosstown drive just isn't one I wanted any part of, and so we didn't look too hard, instead ultimately settling on a landlocked house with no water or mountain views at all.
No regrets. It's just that last night we got to see what we have been missing all these years.
We weren't done driving around. There was more to see. Soon, though, it was time to head back down to the waterfront so that we could attend the wedding reception, in a building right on the water, just south of the Shilshole Bay Marina. We chose to sit at a table just past the windows so we wouldn't be in the sun, and maybe so we wouldn't continue to have the Sound and Olympics in our faces, questioning our decision to live on the other side of the city.
Hmm. This post was supposed to be about the decline of Ron's View. Instead it's about the decline of Ron's view. Returning to the intended subject, I wish I could promise improvement. I'll do what I can.
The Nearby Pied-à-Terre
One consequence of my bad blogging month (or will it turn out to be a longer stretch of bad blogging?) is that I didn't get around to commenting three weeks ago on the astonishing NYT article about the discovery by upper east siders of lower Manhattan real estate. What's astonishing is that we're not talking about people moving from the upper east side to lower Manhattan. We're talking about people buying second (or third or fourth or whatever) homes there. Yes, a coop just four or five miles away from their principal residence.
There are so many rich quotes. Let's start with this one, which opens the article:
Many uptown adherents now [embrace] downtown neighborhoods that would once have been considered unthinkable.
"Downtown is livelier — we feel as though we have been in Milan for the weekend," said Brooke Garber Neidich, a chairwoman of the Whitney Museum, a founder and chairwoman of the Child Mind Institute and a trustee of Lincoln Center Theater.
Ms. Neidich, who owns the Chicago-based jeweler Sidney Garber, has spent much of her married life living on exclusive East End Avenue. But a few years ago, she stunned her well-heeled friends by buying a pied-à-terre on West 12th Street in the Village. "When we come home at 10:30 in the evening," she said, "we can sit outside at Sant Ambroeus and the streets are crowded and it's not even a Saturday."
It's perhaps worth noting that one doesn't need to go down to the Village to eat at Sant Ambroeus. A Sant Ambroeus sibling is conveniently located in the heart of the upper east side, on Madison between 77th and 78th. I've written about it several times, most recently here.
Some have gone beyond the pied-à-terre stage and made the move.
"I think there is a big romance about living downtown," [developer] Mr. Senbahar said. "It is much more diverse, it isn't all fund managers, but artists, literary people, then some Wall Street sprinkled in." For those fortunate 1-percenters, "you can live in a building downtown now that has Upper East Side amenities, and still put on your flats, walk into small shops and live that easygoing lifestyle."
Linda Lambert agrees. "You can go out to dinner and you don't have to be dressed," she said; "you don't have to wear jewelry." Ms. Lambert lives with her husband … in a loft on Laight Street in TriBeCa. The couple had lived in a town house on 82nd Street between Park and Madison Avenues for decades before moving into the loft …
For Suzanne Cochran and her husband, Robert, … it was a downtown soiree some years ago that persuaded them to buy a pied-à-terre in TriBeCa. "We were at a friend's party," Ms. Cochran recalled. "She is a very downtown girl, and it was all my favorite kind of people: artists — cool, hip people. And we were the only ones who lived on the Upper East Side." At the time they were living on 84th Street and Park Avenue.
The couple … soon bought a 5,500-square-foot loft and began alternating on the weekends between the loft and their home on Long Island. Last year, they sold their uptown home to move downtown full time.
As the article draws to a close, we are warned that this all may pass.
But while it is fast becoming the latest fad for uptowners to dip a toe into downtown, the trend is still largely untested. "I am not sure that once they get down there, they are all going to love it," Ms. Kleier said. "They may find themselves constantly going uptown to get their nails and hair done. It could be that the excitement wears off."
I'm glad the NYT is on this.
Now a small confession. Here in Seattle, I've imagined life with a downtown pied-à-terre. Not that I seriously think we have need of a place to stay after the symphony, rather than making the four-mile drive home, though the parking space that would come with our condo sure would be handy.
The point is, when I get to thinking what would happen if Jessica were to vacate her Belltown condo just blocks from the symphony and art museum and surrounded by many fine restaurants, that's when I imagine life with our very own pied-à-terre. Until last month, those imaginings would end the moment I remembered our dear sweet Emma, who wouldn't enjoy spending the night without us. Now that she's gone, why adopt a new cat when we can have a condo?
Am I right?
Still Down
[Mike Siegel/The Seattle Times]
A week ago, in my post Down But Not Out, I offered some of the reasons for my worst month of blogging (by far) in the almost five years of Ron's View. I then intended to provide one more post, but it didn't happen.
And then we had a weekend typical of why blogging has been on hold most of the month. Friday we packed up and headed north to Oak Harbor, on Whidbey Island. Gail had a sharp deadline for being there, in time for the rehearsal of a wedding she would be performing the next day. This meant we dare not risk taking the ferry over to Clinton on the south side of the island. Instead we drove north on I-5, the dullest stretch of road imaginable (though it did mean that we got to cross the newly opened bridge over the Skagit River in Mt. Vernon, the one that collapsed two months ago), then west to Fidalgo Island, over to the magnificent Deception Pass Bridge that connects Fidalgo to Whidbey on Whidbey's north end, and down to Oak Harbor (home to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island). Just over 90 miles to Oak Harbor's Candlewood Suites.
A short break, and then on to the wedding rehearsal and post-rehearsal dinner. No blogging that night. I admit, Saturday morning was free, but hey, that meant I could watch as dramatic a stage of the Tour de France as I can remember, the final day in the Alps, culminating in the climb up Annecy Semnoz. And after that, round three of the Open golf championship in Muirfield. It ended just in time for us to get to the wedding.
Wedding, reception, and south the length of the island to the ferry. Saturday late afternoon. No chance, I imagined, that there would be ferry traffic. Boy was I ever wrong. An hour and a half wait, which we got to share with what must have been a dozen vans filled with cyclists who had just competed in Ragnar Relay Northwest Passage. I hadn't heard of Ragnar before. I know about it now. Click the link and find out for yourself.
Long though the wait was, the ride across the sound to Mukilteo was beautiful, with mountain and water views and perfect weather. We were home by 7:00. A night of blogging! No, I just wasn't up to it. And Sunday morning, well, we had to watch the final round of the Open. Phil! The subject of another post. And the final stage of the Tour. Paris at night! The first nighttime finish, celebrating 100 Tours, and magnificent it was.
No sooner had the Tour ended than we hit the road again, 45 miles south to Orting for wedding number two of the weekend. One of Gail's cousins lives in Orting, and we'd been down to her house, but not the extra 2 miles to the center of town, and the two hundred yards more that brings you to the south end, with as magnificent a view of Mt. Rainier, looming less than 30 miles away, as I've ever had. When we arrived at 2:15, there was still some marine air around and all you could see was the bottom 2/3 or so, with the huge base. Two hours later, in utterly clear skies, the mountain rose in its full majesty, so much more dramatic than up here in Seattle.
Sunday evening is peak blogging time for me, but not this past Sunday. We were home around 8:00, with no energy. And no time Monday to make up for it, because Monday I attended the annual basketball game and barbecue of the summer program I run. Tuesday was new camera night (subject of another post), last night the weekly pizza dinner with my summer program. I tell you, this month just isn't meant for blogging. Which is too bad, because I have no shortage of topics. Sorry.
