City seeks to attract private investors for redevelopment project surrounding technical college.
The city of St. Louis announced June 9, 2014, it will begin tearing down 26 vacant, condemned buildings near Ranken Technical College, both to reduce crime and to prime the area for redevelopment.
The targeted area is bounded by Newstead Avenue to the west, W. Finney Avenue to the south, Whittier Street to the east, and Cozens Avenue to the north. The city says it chose this location because it presents a strong chance to leverage new private investment. The city's Residential Market Analysis (MVA) found the neighborhood is ripe for revitalization because of its proximity to strong anchors like Ranken, CORTEX and the North Sarah redevelopment.
"We are using the tools and money available to us to help neighborhoods that have gone through six decades of private-sector disinvestment," said Mayor Francis Slay during a press conference. "Using the MVA and our own experience, we are identifying neglected neighborhoods that have enough strength to attract private investment. History has taught us that the best and maybe the only way to revitalize those neighborhoods are public/private partnerships. Government's job is to prepare neighborhoods for development and provide incentives. But, government investment without substantial private investment and know-how is doomed to fail."
Removing a concentration of vacant and condemned buildings and providing other direct interventions, like Hot Spot Policing, will also reduce crime and boost the quality of life for current residents.
"Anything we do has to benefit the people who live here," said Slay. "Their interests are our prime interest."
Ranken has already committed nearly $10 million in redevelopment to the neighborhood, including purchasing more than 200 parcels of land and constructing 56 new homes with its carpentry students.
"Our efforts with the Ranken Community Development Corporation (RCDC) have allowed us to not only train the next generation of the workforce, but also to be a driving force in the rebuilding of our great city," said Stan Shoun, President of Ranken Technical College. "The City's targeted investment will create a win-win opportunity for students and residents."
The city will spend approximately $275,000 of its dedicated demolition budget on the project area. Of the eight contracts that have been awarded to demolish 13 of the buildings so far, 100 percent of them have gone to minority-owned firms.
Several of the contractors will demolish the buildings by hand so that St. Louis brick and other materials can be salvaged for reuse.
The City of St. Louis Land Reutilization Authority owns 17 of the buildings slated for demolition because the original owners abandoned their properties and stopped paying taxes. Nine others are privately owned. The city says it will pay for all of the needed demolitions, and then bill the nine private property owners for the expense.
The targeted buildings went through an extensive vetting process. Each of the 26 buildings was inspected and determined to be dangerous and beyond rehabilitation. None is historic nor in a historic district. The structures present a nuisance and safety hazard to the community and were often the subjects of repeated complaints by neighbors, elected officials and police.
"I want to thank the mayor, his staff and the police chief for everyone's hard work that brought this important and transforming project to fruition," said Missouri Senator Jamilah Nasheed. "This demolition project goes hand-in-hand with Senate Bill 731 that I passed this past session, which empowers community groups to take legal action to rid their neighborhoods of abandoned eyesore properties that can breed crime."
"This is a neighborhood where we have families with well-maintained homes and yards living next to the remnants of private disinvestment," said Slay. "It's ripe for reinvestment, and these targeted demolitions will pave the way for attracting new, positive attention to the area to help it thrive."

Garden Q&A Archive
Each week the University of Maryland Extension's Home and Garden Information Center offers free gardening and pest information. Have a question about your home or garden? Call 800-342-2507 or send a question to the website at hgic.umd.edu.
When I do the final mowing of the season, should I cut my grass low? I've been cutting it high like you advise and it looks great, but my neighbor says to cut it low in winter. Is that a good idea?
I haven't fertilized for a few years, and my grass is getting pretty skimpy and weedy. I think I may be seeing erosion. Is it too late to fertilize this fall?
Do I need to keep weeding in fall? There are only a few little weeds, and wouldn't it be better to spend my time, say, pruning?
A soil test recommended adding a lot of phosphorus to my new shrub bed this spring. The soil was very low in phosphorus, and I worked it in well before planting. Should I add more this fall?
According to the frost/freeze chart on the Home and Garden Information Center website, I'm thinking that if I cover my tomatoes with row cover or something during light freezes, I can have sun-ripened tomatoes into November. Will this work?
A plant shot up about 6 feet in our yard recently. I never saw flowers, but the seeds remind me of ragweed. The leaf is not lacy like ragweed, though. It looks more like a stork footprint. What am I dealing with?
My pumpkins turned orange in August! How can I make sure they survive until Halloween?
I'm tired of planting tulip bulbs for voles to eat. What bulbs won't they eat?
My new compost pile is attracting swarms of wasps. How do I handle this?
I'm afraid I have poison sumac at the edge of my lawn and that in the fall its red berries will spread it. Doesn't it sucker, too? What should I do?

The person that walked my dogs( Kelly) was very responsible and dependable and my dogs liked her. And I thought that the rates were very reasonable," - P.C., Santa Monica, CA

"Fetch! is a reliable, friendly and extremely thorough dog walking and pet sitting service. I can trust that everything will be fine while I'm away." - A.T., San Francisco, CA
"Fetch Pet Care treated my dog as if she were part of their family. My Dog, Suni, has stayed at many other places and came home lethargic and/or unhappy. I think this was the first time she actually didn't want to come home! Suni will definitely be using their services again in the future!" - Trisha, Gahanna, OH
"5/09 Hi, Joe: Just a quick note to tell you what a good job Mike is doing. We appreciate his care and concern, and Arlis seems to be benefitting greatly from the exercise. Hiring Fetch was a great decision. Sincerely, Lynn" - Lynn O., Carol Stream, IL

They are usually depressed when we get back from long trips, if we leave them with other people. This time with Fetch! Pet Care, they were very happy and just seemed well taken care of. We highly recommend trying this service!"" - Neil and Katherine V., Westampton, NJ
"Fetch recognized that getting a Pet Sitter is a big step, one that many people approach with trepidation because it means giving someone else, a stranger to you at the time you first contact them, access to your home and putting responsibility for beloved family-members in their hands. Thank you for customizing your process to make me feel comfortable about this." - John B., Redmond

Apple iPhone, iPad storing location data: Are you concerned?
Posted by Stephanie Clary
Programmers Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden, in the above video, found that 3G-enabled Apple iPhone 4s and iPads store a user's location history in a file on their devices, igniting tech privacy discussions, specifically around smartphones.
From The Associated Press:
The most recent dust-up ... raises questions about how much privacy consumers surrender by carrying around a smartphone and the responsibility of the smartphone makers to protect sensitive data that flows through their devices.
There's nothing implying that Apple itself is doing anything with this data, instead a user's location history is stored in a file called consolidated.db, which regularly collects GPS information. It can also be saved on a computer when a user syncs an Apple device with iTunes.
Allan and Warden presented a visualization of this location tracking at the Where 2.0 conference. Here's an app that Warden built to map stored location data, should you want to try to view your own history.
The programmers' concern is why Apple is storing the information to begin with, and the company's intentions.
The New York Times' Nick Bilton points out the complexities of this debate:
A cellphone owner's location information has always been stored by cellular carriers, but has been available in the past only through a court order approved by a judge. Making the file visible and unencrypted on iOS devices could make it available to anyone who gains access to the phone.
And Engadget notes that the Apple privacy policy makes clear it may use your location data. Also, the blog clarifies that the location being stored is an approximation — it's the location of the tower your device is communicating with.
Somewhat related to this concern over privacy is how popular location applications, such as Foursquare and Facebook's Places, allow cellphone users to voluntarily give up their specific location. Foursquare can map your history, and both allow users to push out their location across their social media streams. The apps are used as a way to tell friends where you are, whether to meetup, brag or just note your own location history.
With this information about iPhones storing location history and the conflicting trend of some social media users wanting people to know where they are, are you concerned about the data Apple devices collect?

Often PCs get on the wrong side of powerful users of magic or break into enchanted tombs, either may get them on the wrong side of a curse.
Many roleplays are set in a world where much of the land is held by barons and other nobles serving under the King or Queen. Sometimes the PCs may need to meet these nobles to ask for help in their Quest, at other times they may be caught for breaking the law and end up with their lives in his hands. Yet nobles are different;some may be good people who care for those underneath them and are loved in return, others may be unpleasent tyrantts hated and feared by their underlings, and still others a bit of both. With this in mind I present thirty nobles

Work and Prayer
BETHLEHEM, Connecticut, SEPT. 01, 2007 (Zenit) - Adherence to the Benedictine tradition of work and prayer is the key to the success of the Abbey of Regina Laudis, according to its prioress, Mother Dolores Hart.
The Abbey of Regina Laudis is the topic of the recently released book "Mother Benedict," written by Antoinette Bosco and published by Ignatius Press.
Mother Benedict Duss founded the Benedictine monastery 60 years ago, after the Second World War. She died in 2005.
In this interview, Mother Dolores discusses the history of the monastery, her own personal journey from Hollywood film star to Benedictine nun, and the personality of the abbey's founder.
Q: Mother Benedict, the founder of the first contemplative Benedictine Abbey for women, is described in the book as strong and determined, but also a gardener, both of flowers and of souls. What was she able to accomplish through this unique set of personality traits?
Mother Dolores: Mother Benedict loved to garden. She said her ideal monastic life was gardening and studying.
God had other ideas, however, and she was driven to establish a foundation because she could see that is was what God wanted.
Mother Benedict was also a very creative, intelligent woman who cultivated many friendships and who always had time for a crisis.
Q: Can you explain the connections between General George Patton and the Abbey of Regina Laudis at the end of World War II?
Mother Dolores: General George Patton, Sr., liberated France as the commanding general of the Third Army. His was the army that liberated Jouarre, the abbey where Mother Benedict was in hiding.
Years later his granddaughter, the daughter of General George Patton, Jr., Mother Margaret Georgina Patton, found her way to the Abbey of Regina Laudis, and that began the conscious connection between the liberator and Mother Benedict.
This connection continues through the whole Patton family to this day.
Q: Many convents, during the turbulent time after the Second Vatican Council, were forced to close for one reason or another. What do you think kept Regina Laudis not only stable, but flourishing during that time?
Mother Dolores: Regina Laudis suffered its own turmoil during those years. What kept Mother Benedict going was her adherence to Benedictine tradition in work and prayer and a dedicated program of renewal, engaged in by the whole community.
For Mother Benedict this did not mean throwing everything out, but taking on perennial values with a new dedication.
Q: Your own life could be a story, going from a movie star, in roles opposite Elvis Presley and George Hamilton, to a cloistered Benedictine nun. In what way were you drawn from your Hollywood lifestyle, to the quiet, contemplative life at Regina Laudis?
Mother Dolores: My life will soon become a story by the good grace of my long time friend and collaborator, Dick DeNeut, who headed Globe photos in Hollywood for many years.
My good fortune was to have him as a professional contact who made certain that my reputation in the press never went the way of becoming a "starlet." I learned very early in my career that good complements held your life intact, and I was indeed graced.
Hal Wallis signed me to a seven-year contract when I was only 17. In those seven years to follow, I was the leading lady for Elvis Presley, Montgomery Clift and Stephen Boyd, and I learned my trade from such greats as Karl Malden, Anthony Quinn and Cyril Richard.
To experience the fullness of my profession through the gifts of these artists and many more who came my way in the short years of my time in Hollywood was a gift from God that I never had dreamed possible. Yet it was one I had prayed for since I was a small girl, watching the films on Saturday afternoons in my grandfather's movie projection booth.
I was watching for my Daddy who was an actor and had been whisked off to Hollywood by a talent scout because he looked like Clark Gable. I vowed that I would do this too.
But God had other plans for me. I had to acknowledge the vocation I had been trying to run from for years. I knew this the first time I came to Regina Laudis. I was finally home.
Q: In the preface of the book, you discuss Mother Benedict's wisdom on living out one's sexuality even under the vow of virginity. Can you describe her thoughts on this?
Mother Dolores: There is no contradiction between virginity and sexuality. To be truly virginal is to be fully oneself. To be fully a woman, one's sexuality must be integrated and expressed in all that one does.
This integration should lead to the ability to collaborate with men or women, lay or religious, in creative movements within the community or ...

Musical accompaniment for this post)
The Portal 2 ARG is coming to an end, but GLaDOS, much like Senor Chang, can never die. Also, she has something planned with a final countdown.
The Aperture Science page seems to imply that once the "final test" is solved Portal 2 will be unlocked early on Steam: "Tomorrow you will be given the final test. Then it will be entirely in your hands when I am freed."
Despite feeble math skills and general ineptitude with time, we've calculated that the countdown ends at noon Eastern (9AM Pacific, 5PM UK). Our advice? FAIL THE TEST, because some of us have to work today.
Update: There are more cryptic details being posted on the Valve forums that lead to the idea of an early PC release. "TWO HOURS TO NEXT TUESDAY (UNLESS OTHERWISE REDETERMINED)." Add that little log to the ARG fires, you monsters.

In a commentary Thursday in the journal Genetics in Medicine, a group of bioethicists in Europe describes the scenario covered by the patent as "hugely ethically controversial."
"Taken out of 'patentese,' what 23andMe is claiming is a method by which prospective donors of ova and/or sperm may be selected so as to increase the likelihood of producing a human baby with characteristics desired by the prospective parents," Sigrid Sterckx, a bioethicist at Ghent University in Belgium, wrote in the essay.
"What is claimed is not a cast-iron, fool-proof method guaranteeing that the eventual child will have all the phenotypic traits on the parents' shopping list, an impossible task, but merely a method of improving the chances that the baby has the 'right' characteristics."
An image of the system associated with the patent shows a pull-down menu to design your offspring: "I prefer a child with a low risk of colorectal cancer," for example, or "I prefer a child with a high probability of blue eyes."
The company told Wired it won't use the technology.
"When we originally introduced the tool and filed the patent there was some thinking the feature could have applications for fertility clinics," said 23andMe spokeswoman Catherine Afarian.'
"But we've never pursued the idea, and have no plans to do so."
Filed in December 2008, the patent was meant to cover the technology that supports a service the company currently offers, called Family Traits Inheritance Calculator. That service allows parents to scan their own personal genome and highlight the risk of passing certain diseases or susceptibility to them along to their offspring.
But because the language of the patent extends beyond the Calculator, the company said it wanted to clarify its intentions.
Though a design-a-baby service isn't in the works, the services the company does offer are still of use to parents, the company claims.
"Individuals use our service to get personalized information about their health and ancestry. This information empowers them to be more involved in managing their own health. It also offers them more insight into themselves, their traits and their family's ancestry," the company wrote.
Sterckx said the fact such a broad, potentially disturbing patent was approved is still a concern.
"It is clear that selecting children in ways such as those patented by 23andMe is hugely ethically controversial," she wrote.

CHICAGO – NBC's "Fashion Star" could technically be considered the first highly-promoted infomercial on primetime TV. It didn't even dawn on me until halfway through this annoyingly produced reality disaster that the show probably came into existence as the answer to how to advertise clothes to people who fast-forward through commercials.

The Macallan Masters of Photography winner Luke Bhothipiti's, Scottish Adventure...the final chapter
There is no denying that Luke Bhothipiti was a deserving winner of our Masters of Photography competition – but we have been truly blown away by the images he has captured during his trip to Scotland. So what better way to round up Luke's stay than a few words from the man himself? We let Luke take over today's blog and give you his version of his final few days in Scotland…
The days following our stay at The Macallan really let us get to see some of Scotland I had never expected. First and foremost, we couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather as the sun was out and the only clouds in the sky were dynamic brushstrokes of white on a blue canvas. Perfect weather for driving and sightseeing.
After leaving the Spey region and heading up the coast to Dornoch, we began to see a change in the landscape once we began heading west toward Applecross. The lush green forests began to give way to open plains and valleys of brown and amber. Mountains began to loom overhead and close to the roadside casting shadows across the tarmac. As we drove down the straighter stretches of roadway, we couldn't help but be reminded of the vistas in the American West. However, instead of inhospitable desert, this landscape was covered in lush moss and lichens that actually kept everything deceptively wet. Strange and beautiful all at once.
Once we reached Applecross, we could truly see why people raved about the place when we mentioned it along our travels. It was a quaint coastal community, the likes of which neither of us had ever seen. Rows of white cottages lining the shore made up the main street with the Applecross Inn at the front. The truly surprising thing to us though, was just how many people were actually there and how lively and energetic the place was! When we drove up over the mountain, we only encountered a handful of vehicles, and our initial summation was that we'd be the only people in town. Not so – as our dinner was livened by a full pub at the Inn, fantastic food, and lots of great conversations around.
And so, with departing Applecross, we started back South on what would be the final leg of our trip – a drive down the west coast and mountains of Scotland to our final destination of Mar Hall in Glasgow. Stopping for lunch and photographs along the way, of course. Once in Glasgow, all there was left to do was to enjoy the luxury of the hotel, another fine Scottish dinner, a Scotch or two, and prepare ourselves for the return flights home. The trip was absolutely incredible and I am truly humbled by the Scottish hospitality.
Luke's photographs speak for themselves, which is why we have created an album on Facebook for you to enjoy.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Washington Outworking Opponents
by Paul on 11/26/05 at 09:05 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Washington Capitals have built a reputation as an honest, hard-working team that grinds victories out. Seldom have they had the personnel to speed past opponents or go head-to-head with offensive powerhouses. The Caps still can't match up against the league's top teams, but the club has done little to change the image it is a lunch-bucket brigade that has to outwork opponents to win. "They skate, they hit, they score and they're the kind of guys you win with," general manager George McPhee said yesterday in describing forwards who get secondary billing but are filling first-class roles right now. "We're not surprised by their contribution. We're just happy it's finally happening for these guys. They've earned it."more

In Wichita, Brownback requests help for his tax plan
Send this to a friend
- John Stearns
- Reporter
- Email | Twitter
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback urged attendees at the Wichita Business Journal's Best in Business awards luncheon Thursday to call legislators to express their support of his tax proposals before they vote in the next couple weeks.
"It's like shooting adrenaline to the heart," Brownback said of his proposal to lower the top income tax rate from 6.45 percent to 4.9 percent and to eradicate state income taxes on nonwage business income for limited liability companies and Subchapter S corporations.
"This stuff is critical," he told 230 attendees at the Hyatt Regency Wichita.
The cuts are necessary to compete and end a 30-year trend of slower growth than the region, Brownback said.
The message to legislators needs to be, "Get the taxes down; we've got to start growing," he said, imploring listeners to contact their lawmakers. "We've really got to change the trajectory we're on."
While some call for lower property and sales taxes, they won't provide the growth spurt that lower income taxes will, he later told Wichita Business Journal staff. But he said he would support some property tax relief.
He pointed out that about 77 percent of Kansas employment is from small businesses with one to 10 employees, but most incentive packages are for big business.
"That isn't where people work," he said in support for his tax plan.
He provided a chart showing that 77 Kansas counties lost population in the last decade while just 28 gained. The state has been losing people since 1993 to Missouri, Colorado and Oklahoma and more recently to Nebraska.
"We're the highest-tax state in the area," Brownback said, referring to total sales, corporate and income tax burden.
"What I want to do is start winning the league," Brownback said of beating neighboring states in growth.
John Stearns covers real estate, development and banking.

Opening a Folder from the Dock
Sick of the dock on Mac OS X Leopard not being able to open folders with a simple click, like sanity demands and like it used to be in Tiger? You can, of course click it, and then click again on Open in Finder, but that's twice as many clicks as it used to be. (And while you're at it, Control-click the folder, and choose both Display as Folder and View Content as List from the contextual menu. Once you have the content displaying as a list, there's an Open command right there, but that requires Control-clicking and choosing a menu item.) The closest you can get to opening a docked folder with a single click is Command-click, which opens its enclosing folder. However, if you instead put a file from the docked folder in the Dock, and Command-click that file, you'll see the folder you want. Of course, if you forget to press Command when clicking, you'll open the file, which may be even more annoying.

Lido Beach makes national 'best of' list
Date: May 18, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
A national group is recognizing Lido Beach as one of the country's best-restored beaches.
The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association just announced Lido's inclusion on the list.
"We are honored our preservation and enhancement efforts at Lido Beach have been recognized as some of the best in the nation," said Mayor Dick Clapp.
A two-month beach renourishment project that concluded last month pumped more than 600,000 tons of sand from Big Pass onto Lido Key, creating a beach that is up to 200 yards wider than it had been.
The $4.6 million project was funded by federal and state grants and county tourist tax dollars.

Grimson Wonders About Any Brain Damage
by Paul on 05/09/11 at 08:59 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Dave Feschuk of the Toronto Star,
"It leaves me somewhat concerned about what the second half of my life might be like," Grimson, 45, says, speaking over the phone from his law office. "What are my 60s and my 70s and, God willing, my 80s, going to be like, having suffered some of the trauma that I did? I don't know."
There's no answer to the question, of course. Grimson said he keeps up to date on the nascent research into the effects of brain injuries. And if his reading of the science has taught him anything, it's that "everybody reacts differently to head trauma."
"You look at Muhammad Ali — he probably took fewer blows to the head than George Chuvalo, but Muhammad Ali is in a very different place than Chuvalo today," Grimson says.

Today's listing is for one (1) jelly roll featuring red and white strips by Choice Fabrics. You will receive 20 - 2-1/2" x 43" strips in this roll. There are 10 different prints and you will receive 2 of each print.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the volume of sales on my jelly rolls, I would advise you to purchase the quantity you think you might need the first time. I cannot guarantee that the same fabrics will be available the next time you order. I purchase the bolts in large quantities but they sell quickly. The picture is just a representation of what you might receive. If this is a problem, please let me know. I am trying to update the picture as I change fabrics but don't always get it on before I start the new sets.
PLEASE NOTE: All jelly rolls and honey buns are now cut on the Accuquilt studio die cutter in my studio. This insures precisionand accuracy each and every time.Also, these are jelly rolls!! You can have as many strips as you want in a jelly roll and still call it a jelly roll. The manufacturers cut strips that are in collections and put in 40. Most people don't even need 40 - if you need 40, buy two rolls and you still save money over the manufacturers jelly rolls!!
Questions: Please email me. I am here to help.
I sure do combine shipping. Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day and God bless.

Toronto will meet the 21st century at the waterfront
A lot of waterfront history has been lost, but there's a lot of waterfront future to be gained.

A lot of waterfront history has been lost, but there's a lot of waterfront future to be gained.
In her lovely book, Along the Shore, Rediscovering Toronto's Waterfront Heritage, Jane Fairburn laments as she documents the rich and varied and largely forgotten history of the city's bottom end. Though the connection between Toronto and Lake Ontario is fundamental to the very existence of the city, it usually goes overlooked. Hidden behind highways and railways, cars and condos, distances both physical and psychological, the waterfront has been invisible for decades.
Today, that has all changed. Today, the waterfront is where Toronto will meet the 21st century.
That encounter, though started, still has another 20 to 30 years to go. But the big change has occurred; Torontonians have made the imaginative shift and for the first time in living memory, are seeing the waterfront with fresh eyes. Finally, Torontonians can see the waterfront for what it could be, not what it has become.
For this, we have Waterfront Toronto (WT) to thank. The beleaguered organization, whose work is scrutinized by all three levels of government and endless commissions, authorities and agencies, has somehow managed to plan 2,000 acres from Scarborough to Etobicoke and start the construction of whole new neighbourhoods on land until now considered all but worthless. Even Queens Quay, the unofficial east/west highway that runs along the bottom of the city is being transformed into a tree-lined boulevard between Bay and Spadina.
WT's simple yet effective strategy is to install elements of the public realm and let the private sector do the rest. These interventions — Sugar Beach, Sherbourne Common, the WaveDecks — have had a huge impact. Basically, they have revealed the vast potential of the waterfront as a place where people can live, work and play.
Sadly, from its earliest days, Toronto has had a hard time with its waterfront. Plans for a park-like public lake's edge go back all the way to John Graves Simcoe, who put land aside for that purpose more than 200 years ago. Within decades, however, the city had begun to sell that property to the burgeoning railroads, which in time took over much of the area. Thus was the waterfront handed over to industry, which prevailed until the late 20th century when trucks took over from trains and the return to the city started in earnest.
Now, most of those old warehouses and parking lots have given way to condo skyscrapers. People live in neighbourhoods they wouldn't have considered just years ago. As Toronto has grown up, it has opened up. The new waterfront is the best evidence we have that the revitalization of the city is proceeding apace.
The waterfront is no longer a public destination as it was in the days of Sunnyside Amusement Park, but it will once again become both public and a destination. For the first time in a long time, the best lies ahead.
Fairburn chronicles the dismantling of the giant factories once located on the eastern stretches of the waterfront. "Globalization and post-industrialism," she writes, "factors far beyond local control, dealt the final blow. The industrial plants, in former days the lifeblood of the Lakeshore, began to close in the 1970s."
One door closes, another opens. The closure of the plants has also led to the revitalization of whole swaths of the waterfront. Though much of what has been built, especially in Etobicoke and the Central Waterfront, is mind-numbingly awful, it has helped usher in a new chapter in the saga of Toronto, the City on the Lake.

Our day started off extremely early as we made our way to Diagon Alley! Out the door at 6:30am! We headed straight for Diagon Alley, just like everyone else. The lineup had begun for the Gringott's ride...4 hours, technical difficulties and lots of contemplation to get out...we got on the ride! Talk about Crazy!! The ride was amazing...but not maybe 4 hours worth?!? The rest of Diagon Alley was so well done, true to the book ...

Fiorito: A tour with the nurse the mayor turned down
Anne Marie Batten, a Street Health nurse, does the kind of outreach nursing the mayor seems to think we can do without.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Anne Marie Batten wanted to show the mayor what an outreach nurse does. The mayor turned her down.
I did not.
The point of outreach is to care for people who are neither well enough, nor strong enough, nor able enough to get to a clinic or a health centre, just as the point of prevention is to keep people healthy, or prevent them from getting sicker.
Anne Marie works for Street Health. She and five other nurses cover the city from Bloor to Lake Shore, and from Yonge to Coxwell.
We hit the sidewalk when the sun was acid and the air was thick, yet she was brisk and chipper.
Her first patient was a woman who lives alone, is frail and tiny and developmentally delayed. The woman is in her 80s; so was the temperature in her apartment, and there was no relief from the heat or from her age.
The woman had been sitting in front of her building, holding a doll, when Anne Marie first noticed her; she became a patient not long after she was diagnosed with bedbug anaemia.
Bedbug anaemia?
The woman was bitten very badly, and she lost a lot of blood. Read that again and think of your grandma.
The woman was happy to see her nurse. Anne Marie checked her over thoroughly and gave her a couple of bottles of Maalox, because the various pills she was taking hurt her stomach. The woman sipped the Maalox from the bottle.
She said she does not get out much. Her apartment had been recently sprayed for bugs. Her cat keeps her company. The visit was as good a tonic as any medicine.
The second person we went to see was an elderly man; there had been two recent deaths in his building, including one on his floor, and he was still upset. Anne Marie tapped on his door.
"I saw him on the street after one of the deaths. He was crying. He gave me a hug before I knew what had happened." She said the old man was shaken, not because he was afraid of dying, but because he was afraid of dying and not being found until — use your imagination.
Anne Marie said there was no proof the two men who died had died from the heat, but the apartments in that building are not air-conditioned, and unrelieved heat can cause dehydration and stress, and it interferes with sleep, and it kills appetite.
No proof at all.
The old man did not answer. Anne Marie said she would check on him later.
As she walked to her next stop, we noticed a street worker, a handsome woman, sleeping on the sidewalk in the shade, propped up against the wall of a convenience store; a long hard night, is my guess. Anne Marie said, "She's asleep. I won't disturb her now."
A block later, we met some men sitting on the lawn of a public housing complex. Anne Marie waved and said, "Hi, Ernie!" To me, she said, "We got him a scooter, and an apartment." Ernie scooted over and they chatted happily.
Meanwhile, I fell in with Jahman, who was sitting next to a handmade sign containing his thoughts on world sovereignty, and also his high school diploma and several training certificates.
Jahman said he'd worked all his life for others. Anne Marie came over and made his acquaintance and, having done so, promised to look in on him.
That's outreach. It will be prevention. It is the kind of nursing offered to this city by the province, with no strings attached. It is the kind of nursing Rob Ford turned down.
More on Friday.
Joe Fiorito appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Email: email@example.com

Maldonado excluded from qualifying
Getty Images Enlarge Pastor Maldonado has been excluded from the qualifying results for the British Grand Prix and will start Sunday's race from the back of the grid after Lotus was unable to provide a one litre fuel sample after the session. Maldonado stopped on track in Q2 with what Lotus called a "fuel issue", but after the session the stewards excluded him for failing to provide a fuel sample. "There was an insufficient amount of fuel to provide a 1.0 litre fuel sample and therefore this is in breach of Article 6.6.2 of the FIA Formula One Technical Regulations," read the stewards' statement. "The competitor is, however, allowed to start the race from the back...

Yesterday, I was running errands. My sweet little SUV was just humming along, getting me where I needed to go…in and out, on to the next place on my list. I got to the last place I needed to go, parked, went about my business and then got back in the vehicle, fully expecting to head home. I inserted the key in the ignition, heard the radio, saw all of the gauges on the dash light up…BUT, didn't hear the engine turn over. My first thought was, "Did I really turn on the ignition?" So, I tried the process again with the same results…no hum of the engine…nothing. I was stuck!
I called my hubby to let him know what happened. He calmly walked me through some steps to troubleshoot…same results. He asked me where I was and then told me that he would call our towing insurance company and then head over. He came in just a few minutes and brought a cooler of water (it's pretty hot in Phoenix right now) and waited with me until the towing company came and took the SUV into the shop.
Having him there was great for me…it took me out of the "I'm stuck here without a solution or a ride" mode and into the mode of solving the problem and moving forward.
When I got home yesterday afternoon, I couldn't help but think about this experience with regard to creativity.
Do you feel like you are stuck in a creative parking lot? Have you tried to turn the key and there's nothing but silence…dead silence? Have you pulled out your materials or photos and find yourself unable to do anything with them? Maybe a long, cold and dreary winter has affected your mood and you feel like you just don't have any creative energy. Or, maybe you have a case of ennui…the same old, same old routine day after day has left you bored and unmotivated. If you've said "yes" to any of these, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
How do I know this? Because many of you have shared your stories with me…and have asked me how I stay inspired and motivated to create?
My answer is simple…do something creative every day…and be in the company of creative people who will help inspire you.
On Saturday, June 11th, a group of inspirational and uber creative artists are gathering for the next all day Heirloom Boutique Event/Workshop in Gilbert, Arizona. We will be at the home of my friend Gina and what a fun, exciting and creatively motivating day it will be. We will start at 8:30 in the morning with a beautiful and delicious breakfast and create and eat throughout the day until 6:00 in the evening. Gina is a fabulous hostess…she has attended several of the event/workshops and is a generous, warm and kind person…and her house definitely is a reflection of that!
The majority of seats for this event/workshop were pre-sold at the last event but because June is a busy month for anniversaries, graduations and vacations, there are a few remaining seats. One of those seats may be just for you…and just what you need to get out of that parking lot and move forward with your creative life!
The project for this event is one of the special Heirloom albums that I put together quarterly…a project that will you will be proud to include in your family treasures and pass along to future generations.
Let me give you a taste of what the project will be like this time: Picture yourself relaxing in a hammock on a warm summer day. (I know…for some of us, it's hard to picture this, let alone actually do it (grin)). There's a bit of a breeze and a few clouds in the sky. The flowers are blooming and trees are all leafed out in beautiful summer green. You open your eyes and take in the sights through the haziness that's so common in the summer. You are relaxed and happy…life is good!
Now picture this scene in the form of an album…soft summer colors, breezy, gauzy fabrics, flowers, leaves, beautiful embellishments and cool and creative techniques to stretch your creativity. I'm calling my memory album "Once Upon A Daydream", but, as always, you will be able to change the theme to something that will work for you. It's a feminine book…perfect to showcase some of your favorite females…maybe even a tribute book to a special woman in your life.
The cost for this very special day of creativity, laughter, relaxation and friendship is just $327. You will not only receive a beautifully appointed Heirloom kit (kit value online is $197 plus shipping), but you will be fed throughout the day with homemade, gourmet food made by my daughter Ashley. Your kits will be uniquely presented in packaging that's beautiful and useful…and you will have access to some of my personal collections of rubber stamps and ephemera. And, finally, you will not be alone. There is a hum from the synergy of creating with this group…you can definitely hear and feel it. Plus, there is such a warm, generous and giving spirit...which leads to new friendships and the sharing of common interests.
Reserve your spot today and get out of that parking lot! Just click on the "buy now" button at the bottom of this post and PayPal will walk you through the steps and let me know that you are joining this creative adventure. This is definitely a limited opportunity!
Can't wait to spend the day with you!
From my studio to yours,
P.S. Wouldn't this make a great Mother's Day gift from your family? Just a thought...

Premier League: Manchester United striker James Wilson hopes to prove his worth to Louis van Gaal
Manchester United's young striker James Wilson has admitted it is an important time for him to prove himself to manager Louis van Gaal.
The youngster is keen to impress following the departure of Danny Welbeck to Arsenal and Javier Hernandez going on loan to Real Madrid.
Wilson came on as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday and is battling for a starting place with Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao.
The 18-year-old said: "It's an important time for me.
"Obviously with those two going - Chicha on loan and Danny getting a move to Arsenal - it's given me a great opportunity.
"It's going to be really important for me to get the minutes on the pitch.
"Obviously with the competition in training and even in the games as well, if I can just get a few minutes here and there, then hopefully I can get my chance further down the line."
Wilson, who marked his debut last season with two goals against Hull City, said he has no issues with playing for the Under-21s as well.
He added: "It's very, very important because if I'm not getting the minutes on the pitch for the first team, then I'll be happy to play for the Under-21s and get my match fitness in.
"You can simulate a game in training but it's never going to be the same as a 90-minute game.
"So it will be good to get minutes on the pitch for the Under-21s as well."
Wilson could be included in Manchester United's squad for this Sunday's derby trip to Manchester City, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 12.30pm.Follow @ManUtd_Pal
