Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am a former student and now a parent in the PCCS district. My elementary and middle school years were spent in the TAG program and in high school we were really cut loose- in a good way! This high school prepares you for college, no question. I came to my university with 12 credit hours from AP courses taken at Canton High School. It allowed me to graduate college in 3.5 years instead of 4 years and saved me a semesters tuition. As a parent, I now realize it can be a little scary for your child to have that much freedom in high school. I was a motivated kid who did not need a lot of supervision to succeed, and I hope my son is the same way. However, it is easy for students to become distracted at this giant campus the same way it is in college. In making a choice for your family, think about your child's personality and whether or not they can thrive in a mini college environment. If your child is independent and takes initiative, there are way more opportunities at PCEP than any other high school.
Canton is not the school they say it is. It is the typical warehouse school. thousands of students and no where near enough staff to engage students. They teach to the few and leave behind the rest. My student was thriving until he started at Canton this last year. When staff call they are reading from a file not able to know the students names let alone their needs or history. If you have the choice, go elsewhere for your child's sake. They do however have an amazing choir and choir leader. Truly a special teacher who loves and cares for her team. she is truly inspirational and a shining light in a dark dingy tunnel of a school. The senior staff including the principals are not interested in student growth. They are obsessed with their record, stats and anything that makes peers think it is a wonderful school. The end result is a staff that does not care about the students. The counselors are equally oblivious to student needs. they are focused on stats too. they want every child to apply to many colleges so they can show the numbers. They don't care if they are prepared for the colleges they apply too. Try and change a class the first day of school. It won't happen
In hindsight, I must say that my years at Canton High School and P-CEP as a whole were insufficient in preparing me for college. More than half of the teachers are mediocre at best, with several being overtly inconsiderate or just plain incompetent. Of course, there are exceptions. I had two or three teacher whom I enjoyed very much and with whom I am still in contact. The administration is absolutely abhorring. Students are treated like small children and must follow rules that are stricter than those at most mental institutions and prisons. I graduated in 2009, and since then things have become even worse. I firmly believe that the Plymouth-Canton High Schools are not focused on a quality education, but rather on imposing power-hungry ideals onto students. If you want your child to be successful and content, avoid P-CEP at ALL costs.
This is a 5-star school. I am a transplant for the East Coast- the Philadelphia area-to be specific. My 16 year old granddaughter attends Canton High and she loves it. The teachers and counselors are truly qualified and caring and encouraging to her. Even though there was a period of adjustment for her(and our family), She has greatly improved in her academics, even math. She gets all the help she needs to take her to the next level in her learning. I am sooooo impressed with her improvement and she had made great friends by singing in the choir and taking advantage of the many extra-curricular activities. I can't say enough wonderful things about this school!!!!!!
The PCEP campus offers students a wide variety of classes and an excellent opportunity to be better prepared for college and life affer High School. The facilities and staff are superb.
Canton is part of the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park, a complex of three high schools with 6200 kids on campus. The park has great staff, superior educational opportunities and we have a great football team. Go Chiefs!
We moved here from Florida in 2007. I am very disappointed in the PCEP school system and the board. They can't keep a band director because nobody meets their qualifications! What are they looking for. All four bands at the school received 'One' ratings at District. The first time in years. Also, they think Marching Band is a Parent activity and not a student activity. Parents run the program. The kids practice M-F 3pm - 6pm and then on Sat from 9am-9pm. This is high school. There is more to life than band and winning the BOA competition. What about memories of playing in parades and on football fields. We knew our transfer here was temporary and we can't wait until we leave next year and move to a more traditional school environment.
As a former student, and now a parent, I love what Plymouth-Canton Schools have to offer students. There is a wide variety of classes to choose from and many extracurricular activities. I also like how big the campus is because I never experienced having a 'popular' crowd--in fact seven years after I graduated, I still encountered people in my graduating class whom I've never met (and I was not a 'jock'). My half-sisters attend a very small high school and are very miserable there--they don't offer as many classes to choose from or as many teachers to work with. I hope one day that my son will be able to attend a high school like Canton.
I am a former student and Canton High School offers a wide vairety of classes that most schools do not offer. This school overall is one of the best, and has an excellent staff as well. There are so many programs that are offered to students to allow them to expand their education.
I am a sophomore at Canton High, and it is the best school I have ever been to. I've moved around a lot, and last year was my first year here. I have to admit that it intimidated me a little, but after going here, I love it. Walking outside isn't always fun, but I wouldn't want to be stuck in one building all day long. Its really fun! This school is great! Go Chiefs!
I attend PCCS and it is a great school, quite diverse and leaves great preparation for college. If someone is going to complain about the weather and how it may be difficult to get from school to school, how are you going to be able to handle college life? PCCS gets an A especially for its great class selection.
Canton is a great school. I was apprehensive when I found out that my son had to walk to all three buildings. Now I realize, that served a purpose -it prepared him for college! He will graduate this year and his only regret was he could not take more advanced classes. Adding more AP courses in the curriculum would be a great idea.
I currently go to Canton and I love the school. I love being able to not have to stay in one school all day and having the chance to get out and walk around. I wouldn't want to have it any other way. I love the classes and the teachers, I have the opportunity to take any kind of class I want at any level. The sports are what I love the most. The sports teams are great, get the chance to meet some of the best people you will ever meet, have the time of your life and still be with the people you'll be at school with. Also the best is competeing against cross campus rivals. I like Canton alot.
I am also a former student ('98), and I agree completely with the previous reviewer who mentioned motivation level ... for students who actually WANT to achieve, there is an incredible range of classes - including AP and honors - and a breadth and depth of class selection, clubs, and extracurriculars that exceeds many colleges. Canton High is an excellent school that fosters high achievement for many types of students (including those interested in vocations such as electrician and auto mechanic). Myself and all of my friends who attended this school got into top-notch universities and are now completing top-notch graduate programs, excelling in the real world. I believe strongly that my education experience contributed to the successful person I am today (as well as the walks in the freezing cold, which every college student is forced to experience at some time or another, so why not get used to it?!)
I graduated from Canton High School two years ago and I am so thankful for the academic excellence and other experiences gained during my four years there. I'm currently finding myself ahead of so many of my peers in college because of the classes I took in high school. In addition, the diversity of people and walking building to building (yes, even in the frigid cold) prepared me immensely for the large campus college that I now attend. I noticed some negative feedback on this board for Canton High and the poor manner (incorrect spellings, grammar, etc.) that they were written in. I urge you to weigh the comments between the parents and the students who've actually experienced Canton High School for themselves. CHS is a wonderful preparatory environment where everyone can find their niche as well as be enriched and challenged.
The quality of academic programs are not to bad. There is a wide selection of whatever field you think you would like to go into. But, the teachers are young, underpaid, and most have an atitude where they think just because they are a teacher everything they say is right. The rules even to me as a parent are ridiculos. Kids always seem depressed when they are leaving. As far as academics I'll give PCCS a B+. But everything else is horrible. Not to mention when it gets to icey temps that your child may have to walk to diffrent schools on a ridiculously large campus.
My granddaughter attends high school here. The tracks and classes are too complicated for 9th graders to choose among. You practically have to know in 9th grade where you're going...college or trade school or neither. 9th graders should just have a simple set of classes to attend....get used to the big campus and new classmates. Then, they can decide what track to follow in 10th grade. Some teachers (young at that) badmouth students right in the class...not acceptable! I wish I could replace some of these idiots. You don't badmouth a kid in front of his/her peers. Otherwise, seems like a good school.
This campus is not far too large for a good education and it's not true that you are only noticed if you are a prep or a jock, so don't listen to any of that. I currently attend this school and it is the best experience of my life, seriously. It's great to be on a huge campus with 5000+ students and the teachers are great. Our sports teams are awesome also. This is a great school and it really prepares you for college.
I am a past graduate of Canton. I think that Canton can either be a bad school, where the lazy can slip by, or a great one, where motivated students have great opportunities. Canton in unique because of its three building campus. It also allows for special programs and classes that students at other schools don't have. It gives the students a unique experience, that I can say has helped me greatly in college.
As I current student at this high school, I can think of no other place that I would rather attend school. The three-schools-on-one-campus experience, and having to walk between buildings helps to prepare us for what we'll have to do in college, and the variety in classes is unmatched in any nearby schools. Most every teacher I have had has been very open-minded to new ideas and thoughts from students.

Refresh: Manual | Auto | Jump to current inning
The Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies 7-6 last night in exciting fashion, coming back twice, weathering a blown save from Kerry Wood and nailing down that always elusive 10,000 victory in franchise history.
Aramis Ramirez hit a two-run homer in the ninth to take a 6-5 lead, a homer that cost Rockies closer Manny Corpas his job. Kerry Wood got two outs in the bottom of the inning before the Rockies struck to level the match. But have no fear, Ryan Theriot drove home pinch runner Mike Fontenot in the 10th and Carlos Marmol kept the lid on the thing for the save. It's the kind of thrilling Rocky Mountain high that takes the edge of those 70,000 losses.
Today Jason Marquis goes against Aaron Cook from the perpetually sunny Denver a place that boasts 300 days of sunshine a year and a place that currently is under the threat of thunderstorms. Let's hope the rain stays away.
And as I mentioned, I'll try not to steal any more bits from Chicago radio fixtures, like WXRT's Lin Brehmer.
Today's lineups and liftoff. Let's go.
First inning
Mike Fontenot leads off against righty sinker-baller Aaron Cook as the Cubs go for seven straight. Fontenot singles to center to break up Cook's perfect game. Theriot gounds up the middle. The previously slumping Tulowitzki makes a diving stop, flips to Clint Barmes, who bare-hands it and throws to first all in one motion to turn quite the nifty double play. Derrek Lee grounds back to the pitcher to end the top half of the first.
Yes, "My Friend is at the Game" (lucky friend) on the message board, it looks like the sun is threatening to make an appearance at Coors Field. White Sox hero Scott Podsednik, Scotty Pods, leads off for the Rockies and gets ahead 3-0. Podsednik singles to left on a 3-1 pitch. Glenallen Hill in the first base coaching box for the Rockies, or, as Harry Caray used to call him "Glenallen Allen." Barmes pops out to Lee in foul ground. Todd Helton takes a strike and Podsednik steals second. Len Kasper says Podsednik is a perfect 4-for-4 on the year in stolen-base attempts, to which Amanda Kaschube, sitting a few desks away, replies, "He is perfect. Good call." Helton bloops a single to right, driving home Podsednik with the game's first run. Matt Holliday takes a called third strike on the inside corner. He disagrees with the call from home-plate umpire Ed Hickcox but doesn't hang around to argue. Garrett Atkins rips a double to the left-field gap. Felix Pie cuts it off to keep Helton from scoring. Lou Piniella's a-stirring in the Cubs dugout and is now consulting a big loose-leaf notebook. Brad Hawpe flies out to center and the Cubs and Marquis escape any further damage.
Rockies 1, Cubs 0
Second inning
Ramirez fouls a ball off his front shin and goes down. He's OK but then strikes out swinging and still looks to be in some pain as he walks back to the dugout. Kosuke Fukudome draws a walk. DeRosa walks, too. After two straight walks, Geovany Soto swings at the first two pitches and pops out to first. Pie jumps on the first pitch hits it sharply off the second-baseman's glove and into shallow center; Fukudome hustles home from second to tie the game. Marquis rolls out to first to end the top half, but the Cubs get their equalizer.
Cubs 1, Rockies 1
Tulowitzki pops out to Theriot behind second base. Catcher Chris Iannetta flies out to right. The pitcher Cook grounds a single up the middle. Podsednik bloops one to shallow left. Mark DeRosa makes a long run, lays out and nearly makes a great catch but the ground knocks the ball out of his glove and Podsednik ends up on second. Cook to third. Those guys will have to wait another day as Barmes flies out to right to end the second.
Cubs 1, Rockies 1
Third inning
Fontenot fouls off two pitches and then takes a called third. Brenly thinks the pitch was high. Theriot grounds out to short. Lee bounces out to Helton and the Cubs go down quietly and quickly.
Oh, please -- the Cubs will be flying a flag at Wrigley for the next week to commemorate that 10,000 victory. Helton flies out to Pie. Holliday lines one to left but right at DeRosa. Two balls and two strikes to Atkins and he ... fouls it back. Atkins eventually pops out to Soto near the first-base dugout.
Cubs 1, Rockies 1
From the Cubicle: Cubs-Rockies
Live play-by-play of today's Cubs-Rockies game from a guy who'll try to go an entire day without ripping off Lin Brehmer.

Starbucks beats as business continues to diversify
The coffee behemoth has a record holiday quarter, but investors are wary of narrowing margins and a disappointing forecast.
The coffee giant reported a $382.1 million profit, or 50 cents a share, for the fourth quarter, a 10% rise from a year earlier. Revenue rose 16% to a record $3.44 billion. Analysts expected a profit of 49 cents a share on revenue of $3.29 billion.
Global same-store sales rose 9%, the company said. That comes from a 7% increase in traffic combined with a 2% increase in the average customer transaction.
The holiday quarter was strong enough that Starbucks raised its 2012 earnings forecast to between $1.78 and $1.82 a share, or between 17% to 20% higher than what it reported for 2011. But even that raised forecast didn't hit the $1.83 a share that Wall Street is looking for.
Shares fell nearly 2% in after-hours trading as investors digested the numbers. Earlier Thursday, Starbucks shares rose about 1% to close at $48.34. Investors may have also been concerned with the company's operating margin, which narrowed by a mere 80 basis points to 16.2%.
The company is clearly trying to expand its business in just about every way possible. It will soon begin selling wine and beer in several restaurants in Atlanta, Chicago and Southern California. It already offers alcohol at some stores in Seattle and Portland, Ore.
Wine and beer, by the way, might help Starbucks' margins in the future. One analyst estimates that most alcoholic beverages have a 75% margin, Bloomberg reports.
Starbucks also plans to enter into the premium juice business with its purchase of juice company Evolution Fresh last November.
The company aims to open 800 net new stores in its fiscal year ending Sept. 30. Half of those stores will be in the Americas -- and half of those will be licensed stores in places like Target (TGT) and shopping malls. About 300 of the new stores will be in China and Asia Pacific, and 100 will be in Europe, the Middle east, Russia and Africa.
Perhaps bigger opportunities lie in Starbucks' ever-expanding grocery business. The company's consumer products unit, which sells packaged coffee and the K-cup pods for Keurig machines, saw revenue rise 72% to $336 million.

It's finally spring in New York, so we're diving into some of the nature-inspired design books in the Wallach Division's Art and Architecture Collection to celebrate the intermittent sunshine. E. A. Séguy (1889–1985) was a master of the Art Deco pochoir technique, a labor-intensive hand-coloring process involving the use of stencil plates and thick, vivid washes of watercolor gouache. Art Deco artists employed both geometric abstraction and natural forms to develop vibrant and undulating patterns, as exemplified by the initial animal studies and final decorative motifs in Séguy's Butterflies.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Today the Washington Heights Library celebrated it's grand reopening and centennial! The building turned 100 on February 26th and received a beautiful renovation. There's a full-day's worth of activities happening today, so don't take our word for it - stop by and visit it yourself!
11 October 2013
Reblogged from
For two days every year, Open House New York (OHNY) Weekend gives the public a chance to engage more deeply with the built environment and learn more about aspects our city that are often hidden in plain sight. This year Percent for Art commissions in two boroughs will be featured in the weekend's activities on October 12 &13, located in New York Public Library's Bronx Library Center, and Queens Public Library's branches in Long Island City and Flushing. The pieces, pictured above, range from architectural elements like Yong Soon Min's etched glass wall to interior features like Iñigo Manglano Ovalle's exploration of DNA as a catalog, reflecting the diverse ways permanent art can enhance our public spaces.
This rare construction photo - taken exactly 102 years ago today - shows the foundations of the famous Woolworth Building, one of the country's oldest skyscrapers. The photo was taken at Broadway and Park Place in Manhattan by photographer Irving Underhill on Oct. 6, 1911, and is currently part of our Irma and Paul Milstein Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy, The Woolworth Building - designed by famed architect Cass Gilbert - was completed two years later in 1913.
Happy Birthday Antoni Gaudí! Today is the 161st birthday of the modern architect. Born in Catalonia, Spain, Gaudí designed many buildings including Casa Balló and Park Güell. In 1926 Gaudí was struck and killed by a tram in Barcelona, never having seen the finished work of his iconic church, the Sagrada Familia. To learn more about Gaudí and his designs, visit your local NYPL branch!
Happy Summer! Tomorrow looks to be a beautiful day. The perfect day to visit your local library. (Of course we think every day is a perfect day to visit your local library!) But tomorrow we have some lovely things planned:
Harlem friends, it's time to get your knit and perl on. Join Harlem's Knitting Circle tomorrow at the Harlem Library! But, BYOY (Bring your own yarn). Or you could stop by Harbor Day on 104th Street between Madison and 5th Aves. Boys & Girls Harbor are hosting a day of free outdoor activities, giveaways, community resources, and refreshments - and NYPL will be there too!
For our library lovers in the Bronx, Spuyten Duyvil Library will be showing the movie Les Miserables. Yes, the one with Hugh Jackman!
And for those of you on the lovely Isle of Staten, New Dorp Library will be hosting a meditation workshop, which will help clear your mind and help you enjoy the day even more!
Of course, if you haven't already done so - you should visit Mid-Manhattan Library to see their exhibition Reading Room, which showcases all 87 of NYPL's local libraries! But, no matter which branch you visit, don't forget to sign your letter opposing the $47 million budget cut!
Ever wonder about the origin of your public library's name? Today - with the help of Elizabeth Felicella's photographs from her exhibition Reading Room - we're introducing you to Francis Martin, George Bruce and Hamilton Fish. All three (and quite a few others) have local library branches named in honor of their achievements in New York City.
Francis Martin Library was eponymously named after the distinguished Bronx judge, who served as the first District Attorney of Bronx County.
George Bruce Library was established by the daughter of George Bruce, an enterprising young Scotsman who sailed to the United States before he was 15 and became a well-known typefounder and inventor of printing machinery in New York.
Hamilton Fish Library is named in honor of the distinguished American statesman who was Governor of New York and Secretary of State under Ulysses S. Grant.
You can visit these three branches (or any branch in NYC) and speak out against the proposed City budget cut. We think their namesakes would be proud of your support!
Bookshelves. They come in all shapes and sizes, but no matter what kind of bookshelf you have it's a beauty! It can hold so much information about exactly the topics you're interested in reading about. Check out these glorious bookshelves at Ottendorfer, Macomb's Bridge, Port Richmond and Tottenville libraries from Reading Room, Mid-Manhattan Library's photography exhibition featuring NYPL's local branches.
Support your local library today!
Pictured here (courtesy of Mid-Manhattan Library's exhibition Reading Room, natch), a few lovely examples of children's areas at our local libraries. From left to right, top to bottom: Highbridge, Riverside, Throg's Neck and West Farms libraries.
And did you know that children can show their support of the library and oppose the budget cuts just as well as their folks? The Library has letters they can sign. These are their libraries too, after all!
When a door closes, open a window! At any of the Library's 87 branch locations - such as Tompkins Square, St. Agnes, or Countee Cullen libraries (shown here respectively) - we can help open that window! But, we need your help too! The city is proposing a $47 million budget cut for NYPL and we need you to visit your local branch or stop by our website to tell the City how much you love your library!
These beautiful images of some of the Library's windows are courtesy of Elizabeth Felicella, who currently has an exhibition at Mid-Manhattan Library.

Avi Buffalo | 10/09/14
We are pleased to welcome new signing Avi Buffalo to the Domino family. Embarking upon a sophomore effort can be a daunting task for any young upstart, and there's no denying Avi Buffalo's own bar was set quite high with 2010's celebrated eponymous debut. Fear not, dear fans/family/friends/friends of friends/newcomers, there's nothing in this tale about The Second Album—a.k.a. At Best Cuckold, due September 8th in Europe and September 9th in North America on Sub Pop—that even remotely...
Planningtorock | 27/08/14
Jam Rostron, Bolton-born, Berlin-based is welcomed to the Domino Publishing family. The artist behind the multimedia recording and performance project Planningtorock, her 2014 LP 'All Love's Legal' is both an extension of her previous work and a refinement and of its ideas and sonics. Planningtorock has always incorporated politics into her music, but this is by far her most explicitly political record yet. It follows 'W', which was released on DFA in 2011, and her 2006 debut album...
When Vivian Girls leader Cassie Ramone joined forces with Woods' Kevin Morby, even they didn't foresee what ultra catchy pop-rock n roll gems they were about to create. With boy - girl dueting vocals and riffs in all the right places, the NYC group's 2nd record 'Our House On The Hill' was released in 2012 on Woodsist Records.

Double D
This is Devan Dubnyk. Not much about him is "normal", from the spelling of his name to the 6-5, 205 frame he uses to stop rubber for a living. He looks a bit gangly, and has an "aw, shucks" smile in pretty much every photo on the net.
Dubnyk was awarded the CHL Scholastic Player of the Year award a few years ago. Does anyone know what that means? It's probably a very fine thing to win, but it's easy to joke about it and say he was probably the one WHL player who did all his homework in 2004.
I'm always hesitant to list scouting reports on goalies, because they have the same words they've been printing since Bernie Parent: positioning is good, has a quick glove, plays angles well, aggressive, controls rebounds, helps ladies across the street, looks respectful during the anthem. Non-drinker, nickname "saloon doors."
However, here's what Guy Flaming from Hockey's Future writes about him: Above all, Dubnyk possesses the one great talent no coach can teach: size. At 6'5, Dubnyk gives very little of the net up to opposition shooters, and often looks like NHL goaltenders Olaf Kolzig and Sean Burke between the pipes with his hulking size. Very strong positioning and great rebound control are two other strong characteristics of Dubnyk's play in the net.Consistency is an issue and Dubnyk, despite taking up as much of the net as he does, still has a tendency to let in a soft goal and can get visually shaken by it. Mental maturity will help overcome that flaw.
What does it all MEAN? Look, goalies who are confident can look like Larry King and get the job done, and I've seen HOF goalies look like they're Tommy.
Save percentage is the one thing we can hang our hats on, that and previous resume. Here, as of this evening, is the list of the top active AHL rookie goalies in terms of save percentage:
- Devan Dubnyk .912
- Tuuka Rask .894
- Erik Ersberg .888
- Cory Schneider .878
Jonas Hiller had a higher SP before being recalled, and Dubnyk is tied for 17th in the AHL (Deslauriers has a SP of .923 and ranks 7th overall). Dubnyk's 1st month in the league was terrific and he's tailed off since, but JDD had one of his "Hyde" nights this evening and one suspects DD will get a few more chances moving forward.

-- Robert Preidt
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Social networks may help
health officials predict epidemics of flu and other infectious
diseases, according to new research.
Before the start of the 2009 flu season, researchers contacted a
random group of 319 Harvard University undergraduates who, in turn,
named a total of 425 friends. The health of students in the two
groups was monitored through self-reporting and data from Harvard
University Health Services.
On average, the flu appeared in the friends' group about two
weeks before the random group when the researchers used one method
of detection, and 46 days before the epidemic peak when they used
another method.
The study was published Sept. 15 in the journal
PLoS One.
"We think this may have significant implications for public health," Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medicine, medical sociology and sociology at Harvard, said in a university news release. "Public health officials often track epidemics by following random samples of people or monitoring people after they get sick. But that approach only provides a snapshot of what's currently happening."
Tracking groups of friends might work better, he said.
"By simply asking members of the random group to name friends, and then tracking and comparing both groups, we can predict epidemics before they strike the population at large. This would allow an earlier, more vigorous, and more effective response," Christakis said.
This method could even be used to predict the spread of
behaviors such as drug use or the distribution of ideas or fashion
trends, according to the researchers.

You can now get a ride using your phone and your driver won't show up in a cab. They'll show up in their own car. It's called Lyft and it operates in 13 cities including Phoenix, and you don't even have to pay a fare!
With her pink mustache leading the way, Audrey Adkins begins her day.
"This is a ridesharing program where you download an app request a ride from there and your driver will arrive in five to ten minutes," said Audrey Adkins, Lyft driver.
Adkins drives for Lyft part time. She loves the flexible hours and even as a young woman she feels safe letting strangers sit up front in the passenger seat, standard Lyft procedure.
"There's always the fact that you have to have a Facebook account you have to have a valid credit card on hand."
You can tell that the drivers love the service they're providing with Lyft, but what's the benefit for the rider? Well your payment is synced up to your smart phone so you pay directly by the push of a button and instead of paying a fare, you give a donation, whatever you think the driver deserves.
"Then once a week its direct deposit you don't know what people are donating individually, it's just a total for the whole week."
You could pay nothing, but then another driver will see your rating and you may have tough time getting a driver to pick you up.
"You get a little notification that says you may be more likely to get a ride in the future because there is a bit of a filter on that," says Adkins.

The Public Vote
At ArtPrize, spectators and visitors like you take an active role as judge and critic, and an unprecedented top prize is determined solely by public vote.
Here's how it works:
Round 1 Voting:
Sept 24, Noon–Oct 4, 11:59 p.m. Vote for your favorites of the 1536 Artist Entries. During Round 1 of voting, every Entry at every Venue in the ArtPrize District is in the running for the big prizes. See as much art as humanly possible and vote for the artwork you think deserves a spot in The Final 20.
You could cast one vote for every entry, but voting should be for artwork that you find compelling. There are no rules about which artwork deserves your votes—it's entirely up to you.
Final 20 Announcement: Oct 5, 2 p.m. in Rosa Parks Circle. When Round 1 closes, the top five Artist Entries from each of the four categories move on to Round 2. The twenty finalists, announced on October 5th, will compete for the Public Vote Grand Prize and four category awards.
Round 2 Voting:
Oct 5, 3 pm–Oct 9, 11:59 p.m. Take another look at the twenty Finalists and vote for the ones you think deserve to win the $20,000 category awards and, ultimately, the $200,000 Public Vote Grand Prize.
Just like in Round 1, you could cast one vote for every one of the 20 finalists. Again, there are no rules for which artwork deserves your vote.
At the end of Round 2 voting, the Artist Entry with the most round 2 votes in each category will win their $20,000 category award. The Final 20 Artist with the most round 2 votes overall will be awarded the $200,000 Public Vote Grand Prize.
Juried Awards
In addition to the Public Vote, ArtPrize presents parallel Juried Awards—four $20,000 category awards and one $200,000 Juried Award Grand Prize. The jury also presents an award for Outstanding Venue, given to the curator of a Venue, not a participating Artist. The Juried Awards are decided separate from the Public Vote, and it's possible for an Entry to win both a Public Vote and Juried Award, including both Grand Prizes.
The ArtPrize Awards
The 2014 ArtPrize Awards: October 10, 7:45 p.m. Witness the announcement LIVE on the big screen at Rosa Parks Circle and on WOOD TV8. See which Artist Entries takes home the 2014 ArtPrize Awards! Cash bar, concessions, and entertainment will be featured both before and after the show.

Use the app to:
- register to vote
- vote for Entries and see your vote history
- discover art through Lists
- route an Official List—or one of your own—to find the best path through the event
- search for Artists, Entries, Venues, and events
- browse Entries, Venues, and Artists
- find Venues and events near you
- get the latest news from the ArtPrize blog
- get other information about ArtPrize on the go
How to register using the mobile app:
- Go downtown (anywhere within the ArtPrize District) during ArtPrize
- Open the app. Your phone's GPS will verify your location within the ArtPrize district and the app will automatically ask if you would like to register. Click "Yes" and you're done!
How to vote using the ArtPrize app:
- From anywhere in the app, tap the Vote icon at the bottom of the screen (looks like a thumbs-up) and type in an Entry's five-digit Vote Code
- On an individual Entry's page, tap the "Vote for this Entry" button
You can see your vote history by tapping your Account icon in the upper right and choosing "Your Vote History".
Navigate by Routing a List
One of the coolest things the app can do is help you create a custom route through the event to see all the Entries you want to see. You do this by routing a List. (Learn more about Lists.)
Several Lists are featured on the app's main Discover page (tap the ArtPrize icon at the bottom of the screen) and others, including ones you've created or followed, are available by tapping the Lists icon (looks like a list) at the bottom of the screen.
How to route a List:
- Choose a List with Entries you'd like to see
- On a List's page, tap the gray "Route this List" button
You'll get custom, turn-by-turn directions from your current location to the Venues where each Entry in the List is located. This makes Lists an excellent way to plan ahead and find your way around the event!
The app makes it easy to find interesting things right where you are. Simply tap the Visit icon at the bottom on the screen (looks like a map pin) to find Venues or events near you. Venues will display around your location on the map, and the distance to each one will be displayed beside each Venue in the list below. You can even filter Venues to find ones that are handicap accessible or that offer free public restrooms or parking.
Cast Your Votes
Once you've registered, go out and explore ArtPrize Venues and Exhibition Centers to see as much art as you can! You can use your printed Event Guide, the Find Art page on artprize.org, or the official ArtPrize mobile apps to discover art all around the city.
Each Artist Entry is displayed with an Artist Label that includes the title of the Entry, the artist's name, and a unique five-digit Artist Vote Code.
There are three ways to cast your votes
- Online at artprize.org: Sign in to your artprize.org account and go to the Find Art page to find the art you've seen and liked, then simply click the "Vote" button on an Entry to cast your vote. You can search for Entries by title, artist name, or by Artist Vote Code, browse and filter art by Venue or Category, or even discover new art through Lists.
- Using the mobile apps: If you have a mobile device, download the free ArtPrize app for Apple or Android to make voting easy as you explore the event. You can use the app to search for specific Entries or even discover art near you. Simply tap the "Vote" button on an Entry to cast your vote.
- Via text message (SMS): If you don't have a mobile device, you can still vote on the go by texting Artist Vote Codes to 808080. To vote by text, add your mobile phone number to your artprize.org account and follow the simple set up instructions in the confirmation text message.
Remember, there are two rounds of voting. In Round 1, you vote to choose the twenty Public Vote Finalists. In Round 2, you vote again to choose the ultimate winners from among the Final 20. The Entry with the most votes wins the $200,000 Public Vote Grand Prize!
See and change your votes
You can view your voting history online—and easily change your votes—by signing in to your ArtPrize account on artprize.org and selecting "Votes". Online and mobile app votes you've cast will appear in your history instantly. If you vote by text message, you'll receive a confirmation of each vote by text as required by your texting service; text message votes will appear in your online voting history on artprize.org shortly after.
You can change your votes at any time during Round 1 by deselecting an Entry; your votes are locked once voting closes. Similarly, during Round 2, you can change your votes on the Final 20 up until voting closes.
Go out and vote for art, and have fun!
Lists, introduced in 2014, provide a whole new way to find and discover art that other people like. Use the Find Art page to browse Lists created by Jurors, Official Lists, and other Lists of note, plus hundreds of Lists created by people just like you.
Create Your Own List
Lists give you the ability to create, curate, and share your favorite ArtPrize Entries. By default, any Entries you save are added to your Favorites List, but you can create as many Lists as you want and choose which Lists to add an Entry to.
Here's how to get started:
- Sign in to your ArtPrize account; you'll be taken to your Lists
- You have one List called Favorites by default; click "Create A List" to create others
- Visit the Find Art page and start browsing Entries to add to your Lists
- When you see an Entry you like, click the gray "Save" button to add that Entry to one of your Lists; if you change your mind about an Entry, click the pink "Saved" button to remove it
To manage your Lists, go to your ArtPrize account and click Lists from the dropdown. Here, you can see all of your Lists (or create a new one) and click into a List to see what's in it and share the List to Facebook or Twitter. You can also click "Edit Your List" in the upper right to change the name of your List, write a description for your List, remove Entries, make the List public or private, or permanently delete it.
Route Your List
Lists can also help you navigate the event. Whether you want to see every entry in the official Final 20 List or visit all the favorites you found online, you can use the offical 2014 ArtPrize mobile app (coming soon!) to route your List—or any public List—and get custom, turn-by-turn directions from your current location to the Venues for every Entry you want to see. This makes Lists an excellent way to plan ahead and find your way around the event!

ArtPrize Venues
During ArtPrize, the whole city of Grand Rapids is an art gallery. Large or small, indoors or out, any space within the ArtPrize district can register as a venue to host artist exhibitions and visitors from around the world. You'll find ArtPrize Entries everywhere—from world-renowned museums and private galleries to public parks, restaurants, and local coffee shops.
You can browse all Venues online, or pick up a copy of the Event Guide and Map at the ArtPrize HUB or any of the Exhibition Centers for a complete listing of participating locations.
Here are a few suggestions about where to start exploring:
Exhibition Centers
The area's finest cultural and educational institutions anchor the event with major art installations, public transportation stops, Voting Sites, ArtPrize gear, Event Guides, restrooms, and so much more. These must-see Venues will have the highest concentration of artwork on display and provide additional resources for visitors. Learn more about the Exhibition Centers.
Showcase Venues
A small number of Venues are selected each year as Showcase Venues. Featuring curated art installations in distinctive settings, these Venues promise an intriguing experience for ArtPrize visitors and are not to be missed. Learn more about the Showcase Venues.
Sponsored City Sites
Each year, the Downtown Development Authority and the City of Grand Rapids makes several City parks, landmarks, and other public spaces available as curated ArtPrize Venues. Learn more about the Public Parks.
ArtPrize District
The ArtPrize district spans three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids, MI, and any space within its boundary can be an ArtPrize Venue. Within the ArtPrize district, you'll find communities as diverse as the art itself.
Center City
The tidy cobblestone stretch of the Monroe Center Walking Mall welcomes visitors with artistry, innovative ideas, and character. Explore a Wolverine Worldwide retail site outfitted with items salvaged from the shoe leather tannery in Rockford, Michigan, where Hush Puppies and Wolverine boots were originally made. Or visit Central District Cyclery, an urban bike shop that caters to experienced riders, novice cyclists, and bike enthusiasts. Be sure to stop by the statue of Rosa Parks and take a moment to appreciate Rosa Parks Circle. Designed by Maya Lin, the renowned architect of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., it fulfills her vision to create a "green respite in the heart of the city." See Venues in Center City.
The story of Heartside is one of hope, cultural diversity, and revitalized businesses. Today, it provides an atmosphere where artists can flourish and people who need compassion can seek assistance from a variety of upstanding community services. In 2005, a group of residential, commercial, and nonprofit groups banded together to create "Avenue for the Arts," a vibrant section of the South Division commercial corridor. A community of inventive thinkers, Avenue for the Arts helps sustain artists by developing public projects including murals made by local residents, creative works by local art students, and installations in vacant storefronts. Heartside is also home to The HUB @ 41 Sheldon, a.k.a. ArtPrize headquarters. See Venues in the Heartside neighborhood.
Hillside encompasses the Heritage Hill Association, one of the country's largest urban historic districts. Founded in 1968 to preserve the oldest residential neighborhood in Grand Rapids, Heritage Hill features hundreds of historic homes significant to the architectural community. Aficionados can take self-guided or public tours showcasing more than 60 architectural traditions including Dutch Colonial, Italianate, Greek, Gothic, and Prairie. The most famous example of Prairie style within the neighborhood is the Meyer May House, built in 1908 by Frank Lloyd Wright and restored by Steelcase during the 1980s. Touring Heritage Hill provides an opportunity to view art surrounded by the architecture that shaped the 20th century. See Venues in the Hillside neighborhood.
Monroe North/Belknap
Atop the bluffs of Belknap Hill sits a neighborhood with a view of the past and a vision of the city's future. Victorian homes built by furniture craftsmen nestle alongside the sparkling health facilities of the Medical Mile, where Spectrum Health System, Van Andel Research Institute, and the 14-floor Helen DeVos Children's Hospital are quickly transforming the city into a pioneer in world-class health care and cancer research. The North Monroe business district once produced some of the finest cabinetry and handcrafted furnishings in the country. Now refurbished to resemble their original design, these former manufacturing sites house state-of-the- art office spaces, chic taprooms, art galleries, and upscale salons. See Venues in the Monroe North/Belknap neighborhood.
Thousands of artifacts from ancient and recent times are housed in the two museums along the Grand River. The Grand Rapids Public Museum features a planetarium, a working 1928 carousel overlooking the river, a recreated street from historic Grand Rapids, and diverse exhibits on the area's Native people, habitats, and furniture industry. The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum celebrates our 38th president, a Grand Rapids native. Highlights include a replica of the Oval Office, interactive Cabinet room, relics from the 1970s and Vietnam War, and other artifacts from Ford's presidency. The Westside is also the center of Grand Rapids' Latino community, with many Spanish- speaking businesses and organizations serving the area's growing population. See Venues in the Westside neighborhood.
The Gardens*
Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park grew out of the West Michigan Horticultural Society's wish to promote understanding and appreciation for gardens, art, and most importantly, the natural environment. Covering 132 acres of natural wetlands, woodlands, and meadows, The Gardens blends art with nature, integrating sculptures throughout the site. Besides the critically acclaimed sculpture garden, the site features miles of nature trails and boardwalks and an amphitheater which hosts major recording artists. The popular Children's Garden welcomes young visitors with interactive stations and a playhouse, a perfect place for imaginations to run wild. Tours are offered daily, and a café and gift shop are also located on the site.
*Meijer Gardens is the only Venue outside the boundaries of ArtPrize. It is located at 1000 East Beltline NE. Only the ArtPrize Exhibition Center is free to the public.

The DASH

Rapid Rides to ArtPrize: Granting Program
We are excited to launch a new program called Rapid Rides to ArtPrize. This program offers free Event Guides and Wristbands —good for free transportation on The Rapid and DASH transit systems during the 19 days of ArtPrize—for our community members who would specifically benefit from this free resource due to income insecurity or language barriers. If you are interested in working with us on this important project, please email email@example.com.
Accessible Transportation
The DASH and all Rapid buses are wheelchair-accessible. ADA service animals are permitted on all transit. Learn more about the Rapid's available mobility services.
ArtPrize Pathways
With its bridges, riverside walkway, parks, and sidewalks, Grand Rapids is a pedestrian-friendly community, and the entire downtown is open to ArtPrize.
To help visitors explore, we've created a series of Pathways that will take you within one block of 90% of ArtPrize Exhibition Centers and Venues, along with many of the city's finest natural features, landmarks, restaurants, and shops.
Each of four unique Pathways will start and stop at Silver Line stations around the ArtPrize district. Just follow the Pathway markers on the sidewalks—each 2.4 miles or less. And if a particular piece of art, Venue, or restaurant entices you to stray off the path, so be it. You never know what you'll find along the way.
- Hillside Pathway (1.8 miles)
- Heartside Pathway (2.1 miles)
- Center City Pathway (2.2 miles)
- West Side and North Monroe Pathway (2.4 miles)
A fifth Pathway, the AccessArt pathway, will begin and end at the AccessArt Lounge presented by AscentCare, located at 139 S Division Ave. While all ArtPrize Pathways are fully accessible, the AccessArt pathway offers a route that has been specially curated for visitors who experience differences in mobility.
For maps of each route and more information about the ArtPrize Pathways, pick up a copy of the Event Guide at the HUB or any Exhibition Center.
Take your bike* out to explore ArtPrize and avoid the hassle of parking! With nearly 1,000 bicycle parking spaces available throughout downtown Grand Rapids, you can almost always find a safe and convenient spot to lock up on the street, in a ramp, or in a lot. Spots are particularly prevalent around college campuses—GRCC, Ferris/KCAD, WMU, Cooley Law School, Douglas J Aveda Institute, GVSU—and all Grand Rapids museums.
Bike Valet Services
ArtPrize also has available two free bike valet services in downtown Grand Rapids -- one at the ArtPrize HUB at 41 Sheldon Blvd., and the other at the Ledyard Building at 125 Ottawa Ave. The bike valet is staffed evening and weekend hours, so you may leave your bike behind to leisurely explore the ArtPrize event.
Furthermore, all DASH and Rapid buses are equipped with bike racks to make it easy to transfer your bike to and from ArtPrize. Read more about bringing your bicycle on the Rapid.
*Bike rentals are avilable at Central District Cylcery, as well as pedicab rentals through Green Machine Pedicab.
Things To Do
ArtPrize Events
Grand Rapids is a vibrant and energetic city on your average day, and ArtPrize® cranks that to 11. Art is everywhere you look, local businesses and restaurants are transformed into ArtPrize Venues, and some of the region's most prestigious educational and cultural institutions open their doors as Exhibition Centers and Showcase Venues.
The central event is the Public Vote, and the number one thing to do during ArtPrize is see incredible art by Artists from all over the world—and vote for who you think should win the $200,000 Public Vote Grand Prize!
But ArtPrize is more than the competition itself. From rich educational programming to intimate Q&A sessions to full-blown parties, there's something for everyone to learn, experience, and celebrate.
Explore the full ArtPrize events calendar.
In Grand Rapids
Although ArtPrize may seem to take over the entire city for a few weeks, there are still lots of other things going on in downtown Grand Rapids and the surrounding areas during ArtPrize—from great local food and exceptional craft beer to downtown shopping, music, and entertainment. Plus, with biking, hiking, fishing, and an abundance of other activities for outdoor enthusiasts within the area and the beautiful West Michigan coast just 30 minutes away, there's something for everyone.
Learn more at experienceGR.com and downtownGR.org.
Large Groups
Whether you are a company, team, tour group, or community of any type, we think you'll agree that ArtPrize is best experienced together. Three square miles of exhibition space and countless forms of creative expression may seem like a lot of excitement to manage, but we are here to help. You can access easy bus drop-off and parking, register to vote, and be on your way in no time. Additional resources for educators are available through our Education Days Program.
Easy Drop-Off
Short-term bus loading and unloading is available on Louis Street between Monroe Avenue and Ottawa Avenue near the Grand Rapids Art Musuem.
Convenient Parking
After your group is on their way, bus drivers will find convenient parking on Scribner Avenue NW between Pearl St. and Bridge St. or on Mt. Vernon Avenue NW between Douglas and Lake Michigan Drive, just a 5 – 10 minute drive from the Louis Street drop-off. For more information, please visit the City of Grand Rapids Parking Services.
Voter Registration
Casting ballots is one of the best ways to spark conversations and engage with all that you see. Complete official ArtPrize voter registration at the Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM), or any one of our other Voting Sites. From here, we suggest your group choose a Pathway, follow or create a List, and embark on your unique ArtPrize adventure.
ArtPrize is committed to connecting visitors with all abilities to the world of art. All of our Exhibition Centers meet Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility guidelines, and most participating venues are self-identified as handicap accessible. See all accessible Venues.
Parking Accessibility
Limited handicap parking is available at our downtown parking garages and near some venues. More parking information is available through the City of Grand Rapids.
The AccessArt Lounge
Presented by AscentCare, the AccessArt Lounge is located at 139 S Division Ave. and is specifically designed for guests who experience differences in mobility. The AccessArt Pathway–a walking route through the ArtPrize District that has been specially curated for visitors with accessibility needs—begins and ends at the lounge.
Description of our Event Site
The ArtPrize District covers a 3 square mile radius. Our hope is that, by using the accessible transportation options provided by The DASH and Rapid buses, you are able to see as much of ArtPrize as possible!
We welcome suggestions and feedback about how to be more accessible. It is very important to us that ArtPrize is experienced by everyone. If there is something we are missing, we look to you to point it out as we move forward and plan future events.

Playa Paraiso is a wonderful little resort in Tenerife in the Canary Islands, just ten minutes along the coast from the huge Playa de las Americas. The resort is modern and lively, yet it still acts as a magnificent spot in which to get away from it all for a while. The laid back atmosphere of Playa Paraiso makes it a perfect place from which to explore the contrastingly vibrant Playa de las Americas, and the regular bus services make it very easy.
Although the name Playa Paraiso would suggest the resort lies on a huge, sweeping beach, Playa Paraiso actually lies on a rocky little stretch of coastline, but swimming in the sea is wonderfully refreshing from Playa Paraiso accommodation. The lack of beach is really not a drawback on a Playa Paraiso holiday, as the saltwater lido that lies right in the heart of the resort is an absolute delight. The azure waters are blissfully warm, and there is always plenty of space to set up around the edge.
Spain's highest mountain, Mount Teide, is fantastically easy to reach from a holiday rental apartment in Playa Paraiso, Tenerife. There are some wonderful walks around the Mount Teide National Park, allowing you to look into the heart of the 17km wide volcanic crater as well as see some of the varied wildlife that calls Tenerife home.
Playa Paraiso is a small, compact resort, and although there are some wonderful little seafront restaurants to explore, its real appeal lie sin the fact that it is a small, quiet resort, perfectly located for visits to all that makes Tenerife such a popular tourist resort, from the unspoilt countryside and dramatic scenery to the bustling resorts of Playa de las Americas and Los Gigantes, between which Playa Paraiso is sandwiched.
If you stay in a Playa Paraiso property for any length of time, the attractions of Playa de las Americas will undoubtedly become familiar. There is no end of entertainment to be enjoyed in Playa de las Americas, whether you wish to party until the sun peaks over the distant horizon, enjoy water sports of any and every variety or simply have a leisurely lunch.
The 'Island of Eternal Spring', Tenerife, is blessed with a remarkable climate that makes visiting a self catering Playa Paraiso villa a joy at any time of year. Golf, walking and horse riding holidays are perfect at any time of year, as air temperatures average over 21˚C in the coldest month, January, and over 31˚C in the hottest, August.
Tenerife South Airport (TFS) is with just half an hour of a holiday rental apartment in Playa Paraiso. There are an enormous range of airlines arriving into Tenerife South from airports in every corner of the UK, both large and small.

Chuck Palahniuk
Adult Fiction PALAHNI
Summary: The Manchurian Candidate meets South Park --Chuck Palahniuk's finest novel since the generation-defining Fight Club . "Begins here first account of operative me, agent number 67 on arrival Midwestern American airport greater _____ area. Flight _____. Date _____. Priority mission top success to complete. Code name: Operation Havoc." Thus speaks Pygmy, one of a handful of young adults from a totalitarian state sent to the United States, disguised as exchange students, to live with typical American families and blend in, all the while planning an unspecified act of massive terrorism. Palahniuk depicts Midwestern life through the eyes of this thoroughly indoctrinated little killer, who hates us with a passion, in this cunning double-edged satire of an American xenophobia that might, in fact, be completely justified. For Pygmy and his fellow operatives are cooking up something big, something truly awful, that will bring this big dumb country and its fat dumb inhabitants to their knees. It's a comedy. And a romance.
