Great for family reunions, wedding parties.
Thank you Mary Lou for sharing your lovely home! We shared our time here with our parents and siblings. Your home provided a wonderful "home base" for all of the festivities surrounding our daughter's wedding in Cedar. My folks enjoyed visiting with you. My daughters each shared meals here with us and also some time with their grandparents. The views here are spectacular. Your home is very comfortable and spacious. Thank you too for the welcoming locally made wine. We enjoyed our stay.
House was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. A+++++
The house is spacious and the view is beautiful, but the house was clearly in recent use - no room in freezer full of food and open bag of chips on a bookshelf. Crumbs left on table and in furniture, along with the pervasive odor, left us questioning the cleanliness of everything.
We were 5 couples from different parts of the US, and we really enjoyed staying together in a 5 BR, 4 baths place and then going around sightseeing every day.
Very sweet home, Clean, tidy, we had a wonderful weekend there.
We rented this house to attend a family wedding at the nearby Brengman Brothers Vineyard and it was perfect. We had 3 families stay there and had beds for 3 sets of parents and all the kids. The home is well appointed and we didn't have to invest in any small items like bottle openers or sharp knives. The location is quiet but only 5 minutes from town and 20 minutes from downtown Traverse City.
Pictures did not show just how big this house was, it was incredible. Spacious rooms, very clean we slept more than a dozen! Owners were wonderful, very easy to work with and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love for liberty. You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord.
Believe it or not, that is what Michelle Bachman, the Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota, had to say over the week-end at an event---in New Hampshire. I guess that she got Concord, New Hampshire mixed up with Concord, Massachusetts. (I have no detailed explanation for the Lexington, Massachusetts/New Hampshire mix-up but I venture a guess that it had to do with sheer stupidity or poor eduction or, probably, a combination of the two.)
According to one account: [Here]
Bachmann's contorting of a basic fact about the fight for American independence was made all the more glaring because of her repeated references throughout her speech to the nation's founding [history].
The setting for this speech was the site for a soon-to-be private high school and, sorry to report, there were a number of students in the audience. Let's hope that the youngsters weren't paying much attention.
This is not the first time that Bachman has had trouble with American History 105. Remember when she said back in January at a conservative event in Iowa that our nation was unique because people came here from all over the world and...[Here]
It didn't matter the color of their skin, it didn't matter their language, it didn't matter their economic status...Once you got here, we were all the same. Isn't that remarkable?
(It certainly was remarkable because it didn't happen that way.) But then--Ah Ha!-- she remembered the despicable institution of slavery and added:
...we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents [the Constitution and the Bill of Rights] worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.
I'm going to stop here. Let's hope that some kind soul has given Michelle a short, uncomplicated history lesson. I know that she'll be upset to learn that the Emancipation Proclamation was not signed until 1863 during the Civil War and all the Founding Fathers were dead by then. The Thirteenth Amendment, freeing all the slaves, went into effect in 1865.
I refuse to believe that the American public would seriously consider this woman qualified for a Presidential run. However, while we watch other GOP hopefuls jockeying for position, we can also watch Michelle-from-Minnesota for comic relief...

According to his father, Doug, who coached the offensive line at USC under John Robinson, Cole had his own tie to Trojan football before he was born.
"My wife and I actually found out we were pregnant with Cole the week of the Rose Bowl when we played Northwestern, so he was even conceived around the Rose Bowl" laugh his father. "He also has a sister that is a USC graduate, and I snapped the ball for Pat Haden my first two years in the league, so he had been a teammate and friend.
"Todd Hewitt, the equipment manager at USC, was my equipment man my whole NFL career. Then John Robinson, who is a great Trojan, has been a great help to me in my life. The ties to USC are strong."
But strong ties looked more like loose ends when Smith attended the USC Linemen Camp last June and walked off campus without a scholarship offer.
"That day, I just came off of the Stanford camp, so I was a little tired, but I went in and gave it my all," said Smith. "Coach (Tim) Drevno really seemed to like me, but at the end of the day, he didn't end up offering me.
"He said he did like me, and that he still wanted to keep in contact, but I walked away with nothing. Then I went to the UCLA camp, which by the end of that day they offered me. I was always a USC kid growing up, but after that I wasn't sure what was best for me.
"I was thinking real hard about UCLA, but then they (USC) came back a couple weeks ago and offered me. I took a couple days and I realized I couldn't pass up the chance to go to SC. That's when I ended up committing."
While Drevno was impressed with Smith's performance at the Linemen Camp, the plan at that point during the summer was to over-recruit the offensive tackle position and worry about a center later.
"What Coach Drevno in particular told me is that they were going to offer four tackles this year because they wanted some length and long arms," said smith. "So basically they went into their summer camp and they knew Max Tuerk was doing fine for them, but they knew he was going to leave after this year or after his senior year.
"They knew that they didn't really have a backup at this point and that's where they were starting to kind of think that they'd rather go for a 'center breed,' which he explained as someone who was used to having the ball in their hands, used to making calls, used to reading fronts, so that's why they ended up offering me."
Centers are a different breed
Smith's years of training at center resonated with USC head coach Steve Sarkisian, who called it "the center breed."
And in terms of bloodlines, Smith's father was a six time Pro Bowl center for the Los Angeles Rams before coaching the position in the NFL and college.
"The reality is that you have to see if a kid is a competitor in those camps," said Doug Smith. "Video doesn't always show that. The coaches did a great job communicated to us that they wanted to recruit tackles, and then maybe covert one of those guys to center.
"But you can't coach centers like you do guards and tackles. To give it to you in a nutshell, because otherwise it may take several hours if not years to explain, the ball is an extension of your hand as a center.
"You have to do things differently because when you snap the ball, you only have one hand available. You snap the ball, your feet move rapidly and it's all a little different depending on whether you are using the shotgun, run blocking, pass blocking etc.
"If you've done it 100 times, it's not that much of a problem. But you have to train the habits and movements of a guard or tackle out of a player converting to the center position. Some guys get it and some guys just don't.
"I ended up playing in my 15th training camp and a couple of extra years in the NFL just because we tried to covert tackles into centers and it didn't work."
Smith gets playing center because it was the position he was indoctrinated to play from an early age.
"I actually started out playing soccer and then I made the transition to football at 8 or 9-years-old," said Smith. "When I was 8 or 9-years-old, my head coach found out that my dad played center in the NFL. He immediately put me in at center, but I had no idea what I was doing.
"I didn't know how to snap a ball. I didn't know how to even hold a ball really. My first couple years, I was horrible, so it was kind of a gradual process to where I am at now. It's kind of impressive, now looking back, that I played maybe one quarter a game my first year, (maybe) two quarters. Now I've been starting on every team since sixth grade."
Along the way, Cole always had the guidance and experience of his father playing at the game's highest level. But Doug Smith is quick to praise those who taught him.
"I had great mentors in the NFL who helped me along, so I was just trying to pass along what I learned to my son, who I care for immensely," said Smith. "I had a coach named Dan Radakovich, who won five Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Hudson Houck, who was a great offensive line coach for John Robinson, taught me a lot. Rich Saul, who played for the Rams mentored me. And Tom Mack, who went to the Pro Bowl almost all 12, 13 years he played. It's been a joy to give help Cole and give him what I know."
However, the coach/player relationship between father and son didn't develop as soon in Cole's life as one might assume. In fact, Doug delayed Cole's enrollment in Pop Warner.
"I didn't want to be known as one of those crazy dad's that played a long time, loved it, and then decided to force his kid to do the same," said Smith. "Then my wife said, 'Okay, he's playing football. He wants to play, we'll let him play.'
"So that was that. And of course, he got typecast as a center, so I was able to come in and help coach the team."
"My dad is definitely very involved in my center play," said Cole. "It kind of gets annoying watching NFL games with him sometimes just because he breaks down every move of the center and the defensive fronts, but it is helpful, so I have to thank him for that.
"What he preaches to me all the time, is how crucial the left hand is. Since you're a center snapping with you right hand, it's almost like a reaction where your right hand goes back to snap the ball and then your left hand comes up.
"As you watch other high school centers, you really don't see that much. That's really helpful in my game and he preaches that to me on the daily."
Smith, listed at 6-foot-3, 255-pounds on the Diablos' football roster, has the short term goal of bringing a CIF Title back to Mission Viejo, but also the long term goal of preparing his body for the rigors of college football next summer.
"I'm about 270-pounds right now," said Smith. "I'm slowly trying to put on weight — trying to not do it too fast. I want to be somewhere around 285 or 290 when I'm coming into camp next year."
Doug Smith put aside his No. 1 dad coffee mug and picked up his headset to assed Cole's transition to the next level.
"He's put on about 20 pounds a year the past three years, so that would put him in the neighborhood of 280 when he gets to USC," said Smith. "Cole's a good student, and does well academically, and the Mission Viejo coaches do a fabulous job with film study. That will help him a lot on college.
"Cole can also long snap, and we've worked on that quite a bit. We've always worked on him doing many different things because it increases your value to the team. He participates in the shot-put and discuss in track. He played basketball, which obviously helps with footwork and coordination in football.
"In the NFL we had a saying, 'The more you can do, the longer you can stay around.'"
Going into USC next June as a true freshman, Smith could stick around for four, or five years depending on his physical development.
"I definitely want to get there and compete for a starting job, but then I think I might take a redshirt year just because I might not bulk up real fast," said Smith. "I can learn under Tuerk for a year, but I want to get in there and play as fast as I can."
Smith says he is fully committed to USC, so his focus and path to college are clear. On the field, he will play center and possibly gets reps as a long-snapper.
Off the field, he will major in business and hope to maintain his 4.2 GPA on his way to a college degree.
"I took the week to think about it," said Smith. "I thought about USC and UCLA. I switched on the daily. Then the last couple of days before my birthday, I was like 'I can't pass up a USC scholarship.'
"Besides their legacy, they're coming off sanctions, so they'll be back up in the top in a year or two, maybe even this year. There's this alumni network with the business school that is unbelievable and I just realized that there is nothing better for me."

Field Agent: Zach Schwasman (@zachschwasman)
Time Zone: Eastern
Location: Presidential Range of the White Mountains, New Hampshire
Activity: Hiking
Season: Winter
The draw: The quiet yet powerful beauty of New Hampshire's Presidential Range can rejuvenate the worn soul.
Like so many adventures, this day started with a topo and a keen eye on that weekly forecast. Getting home from work I'd pull up a chair, crack open a cold one, and study for this weekend's test, How many miles? Pack size? Bail out plans and alternate routes? By Wednesday I had all the answers. Friday was coming in like a freight train ready to take me to those giants in my backyard, the Presidential Range of New Hampshire's famed White Mountain National Forest.
Saturday's dawn snuck in through the windows lightly tapping on our shoulders and opening our eyes to a light dusting of snow. The crew jumped out of their beds and fought for the bathroom, with the late arrivals giving their gear a final check and inhaling breakfast. Trunks slammed shut, we were off to some funny named trail head that takes a few tries to get right. Trading pavement for dirt, within 20 minutes we parked the snowy Subaru and piled out. Traction and poles discussed in mumbles as the crew continues waking up. The morning sky looming grey and overcast slowly melted away and patches of blue began to rip through. After tightening compression straps and shoelaces, and a few quick gulps of water, we disappeared into the Ammonoosuc Ravine. Finally on our way. Through the scattered skeletons of Beech and Birch we could already see our punchy 4.5 mile ascent to the saddle between the fabled Mount Washington and the equally impressive Mount Monroe.
We zigzagged our way across the brook. After two miles, the trail settled on the right wall of the ravine, the bulk of our 3,800 foot ascent laid before us. Our crew peeled off fleeces and Clif Bar wrappers in preparation. Beside us, a waterfall snaked out of the frozen forest and into a slushy pool. I could almost hear the spruces sigh with relief as the snow cooled their roots from summer's heavy traffic. A light breeze tumbling down the trail chilled my back, so I pull my MS017 Standard ¼ Zip Fleece up into a turtleneck. The tree line appeared as we made our last stream crossing. Mount Washington guarded the horizon to our left. The peak's cold stare pierced through the spindrifts. The last 500 feet of climbing put us on top of Monroe. Visibility is 100+ with a sea of blue tinged mountains stretching from the gulf of Maine to the east and the Green Mountains in Vermont to the west.
The descent we mapped wound through the Presidential traverse, a scenic stretch of astounding panoramic vistas. We stopped for lunch--chicken caesar wrap and cabot cheddar washed down with a tall Torpedo. Our shadows grew long as we navigated through our alpine heaven, stopping every so often to take in some water and mountain healing. At the top of the golden hour we had reached our final summit. Regrettably, we said goodbye to our high altitude playground and entered back into the trees. The south facing descent had begun to thaw out and slushy drops plopped down my neck. The star speckled blanket of night hung beautifully above us as we followed a small brook back to the trailhead. Eventually the lights of civilization and the wet hiss of tires rolling through Crawford Notch started to filter through the tree trunks. Our trip was in the books. Before crashing into the car, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath of cold mountain air. My soul, recharged.
Our backyards still serve the same purpose as they did when we were kids. Although much bigger, they still beckon us to come play in them, putting a fat smile on our face while in the company good friends and family. Lace up your boots, kick open that backdoor, and get after it!

Irvine, California – (The Hosting News) – August 1, 2006 – Integrated web hosting and audio and video streaming provider, VitalStream Holdings, Inc., has reported record revenue of $6.2 million, up 57% year-over-year and 12% over the first quarter.
The 2006 revenue guidance has been raised to $25 million – $27 million and the company projects positive net income for the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company's GAAP results of operations for 2006 include the impact of expensing stock options resulting from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R.
Jack Waterman, VitalStream's Chairman and CEO explained, "VitalStream's ability to deliver unique solutions that meet the unprecedented growth in the demand for delivery of audio and video content has resulted in record revenue during what is traditionally a slower growth quarter for online businesses. Our confidence in our business and outlook, especially as it relates to the online advertising opportunities now available to us as a result of the integration of the ad insertion and reporting technology we acquired from Eonstreams, enables us to raise our 2006 guidance. Not only do we expect demand for our content delivery solutions among content owners and enterprise customers to continue to accelerate, but we have begun to capitalize on the synergies inherent in providing both streaming and ad-insertion and delivery capabilities over the Internet."
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were $6.2 million, an increase of approximately 57 percent over revenues of $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2005.
Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was ($1,403,000), or ($0.06) per share, which includes $313,000, or $0.01 per share, of non-cash share-based compensation charges. This compares to a net loss in the same period last year of ($528,000), or ($0.03) per share. Gross margins for the second quarter of 2006 were 50%. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was ($168,000), which includes approximately $300,000 in non-recurring charges related to the Company's acquisition of Eonstreams on May 20, 2006 and to its application for the Nasdaq Capital Market listing that occurred during the quarter. It also includes approximately $100,000 in higher than expected costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. (See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for definition of Adjusted EBITDA).
Mr. Waterman added, "While the short-term factors detailed above impacted our second quarter bottom-line results, these investments are critical to the growth of VitalStream as we seek to capitalize on the opportunities in front of us. We are supporting extremely strong demand for VitalStream's streaming solutions by enterprise customers in the U.S. and are setting the stage for international growth moving forward."
VitalStream's customer base includes many of the largest and fastest growing streamers of audio and video content, including Disney and Myspace.com. Notable new customers added during the second quarter of 2006 include Greyhound, the United Nations, Microsoft Prodigy, Buy.com, QuePasa, Home Depot and Gillette.
In a strategic initiative designed to expand VitalStream's market opportunity beyond the storage and streaming of rich media content, the Company acquired the business of privately-held Eonstreams on May 20, 2006. Since the close of the transaction, the former Eonstreams business has been re-branded VitalStream Advertising Services, and the technical integration of online advertising insertion technology has been largely completed.
Steve Newman, Former CEO of Eonstreams, now Executive Vice-President of VitalStream Advertising Services commented, "We are very encouraged by the activity levels and sales pipeline for our services, which has increased significantly since the acquisition. The addition of these new solutions is already providing us an entry point to up-sell new solutions to VitalStream's current client base, while simultaneously expanding our market opportunity beyond content owners to leading brands that have an online presence but have not yet fully monetized their brand equity online."
VitalStream raised its full-year 2006 revenue guidance to $25 million to $27 million from $23 million to $25 million and continues to expect gross margins to expand beyond second quarter levels in the third and fourth quarters of 2006. The Company expects to achieve positive net income in the fourth quarter of 2006. Mr. Waterman concluded, "We believe that the combination of our streaming solutions plus our new online advertising capabilities will result in robust growth in the second half of 2006 leading to record revenue for the year. We expect that the combination of margin expansion and the absence of non-recurring costs we had in the second quarter will permit us to achieve positive net income during the fourth quarter of 2006, a first for VitalStream. This outlook reflects management's focus on building shareholder value by capturing top-line growth while positioning the company for long-term profitability."
VitalStream defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring asset sales, and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA attempts to eliminate significant non-cash items and items that are not part of the Company's core operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure used in financial statements reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, does not represent funds available for discretionary use and is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as measured under generally accepted accounting principles. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or net cash used in operating activities. VitalStream's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the computation of similarly titled measures of other companies.
VitalStream's management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of its operating performance. In addition, VitalStream believes that Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to existing and potential creditors of VitalStream, and to analysts and investors that follow VitalStream's performance, because it is one measure of the income generated that is available to service any outstanding debt.
VitalStream, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VitalStream Holdings, Inc., is a global provider of integrated content delivery services that endeavors to enable businesses to broadcast digital media and communications to worldwide audiences via the Internet. The company provides complete solutions, including video and audio streaming, advertising placement, delivery, reporting and analysis, live event broadcasting, media asset management, integrated web hosting and consulting services, designed to seamlessly integrate with leading streaming media technologies. VitalStream engineered its content delivery network certified for quality delivery in the United States, Europe and Asia.

"CEO Dr Donald Peters confirmed that West Indies captain Chris Gayle had indeed formally tendered his resignation as skipper on Saturday night by letter," the Trinidad Express reported today.
"He, however, did not give details as to Gayle's reasons," it added.
Gayle was reportedly unhappy with the West Indies Cricket Board's (WICB) selection policy and voiced concerns over the regional selectors' choices in the recent ODI series against Australia after the Windies had surrendered the decisive third match.
Meanwhile, the Caribbean Media Corporation claimed that Peters had been "sent on unspecified, administrative leave immediately", and corporate secretary Tony Deyal, was said to be dismissed as the outcome of an "emergency internal
investigation" into information leaks from within the Board concerning funding for WICB president Julian Hunte's office.
But Peters said he had no communication in this regard.
"We have been hearing that. But no, that has not been communicated to me, and there is no reason to believe that there is any such (decision)," he was quoted as saying by the paper.

My past childcare experience: First I should say that I am a mother of two children. My oldest is 31 years old and my youngest is 25 years old with 4 children so I am also a grandmother. So my childcare experience is vast and extensive. However, my paid childcare experience outside of my home is as follows: I spent 2 years as a preschool teacher for xx where the age range was 3-5. I loved it. From there I became a toddler teacher for Bright Horizons and I spent 2 years in this position. I spent a year and a half as a nanny for a single mom and her 9 year old daughter until she could no longer afford to keep me. I then went to work for a family that has two daughters one was 3 and the other 6. I spent two months with them when they decided that their 3 year old would do better in a physical school due to no fault of mine.

NYC: Neighborhoods
Friday, February 12, 2010
While in NYC, I visited many neighborhoods. Too many, actually. So, with that in mind, I've pared it down to 3 worth initially writing about. These 3, while they have just about nothing in common, stand for something much grander (IMO). Brooklyn, and in general NYC, is, as previously stated, a melting pot; a city of the people. The 3 following neighborhoods, Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy, and Sunset Park, are emblematic of 3 varieties of neighborhoods in the city: hipster, old-time black, and heavy immigrant, respectively. That said, look no further:
Williamsburg: Home to renovated warehouses, art galleries and quirky boutiques, and "slickers" donning tattoo-covered arms and asymmetrical haircuts, Williamsburg is the legendary hipster mecca. I spent some time there on my last day, and well…let's just say it's quite easily the most hipster place I've been to. They sure weren't lying when giving it that designation.
Generally speaking, it reminded me of an enlarged, skuzzier and true-to-form version of Silverlake (strictly speaking of demographics). Better yet, a supersized Silverlake, with supersized attitudes and pretension to fit the part. That doesn't apply to all parts of it, though; it's a fairly big neighborhood. From ethnically Polish enclaves along the border with Greenpoint, where union members and butchers live in aluminum-clad rowhouses and frequent no-frills, dimly lit bars; to the cooler-than-cool hipster hangouts in converted warehouses and factory spaces in and around areas near the L-train; to the increasingly yuppified waterfront that is studded with high-rises, like a string of pearls; to the heavily Puerto Rican and Hasidic south of the JMZ trains. The part I visited, spanning from roughly McCarren Park, to perhaps 4th St, most certainly lived up to its name and reputation.
Even before actually setting foot in the nabe – just riding the L train from Manhattan – I noticed an extraordinary amount of "alternative," and "indie" types; people who easily fit the so-called "hipster" profile. Unsurprisingly, that would pale to sheer number found above ground, in the nabe itself, but still..that says a lot (like, for instance, that it attracts like-minded folks from other parts of the city). Anyways, I decided to walk along Bedford Ave, where I saw roving packs of hipsters parade down the avenue. Tons of them, in typical hipster fashion and garb: in vintage leather jackets; ribbed cardigans; slim-fitting APC jeans; 1960s horn-rimmed sunglasses; and worn-looking low-cut boots. As for the ladies? Bundled up in smart trench coats; oversized tribal-looking scarves and leather tote bags; skin-tight leggings; and the mandatory American Apparel sweaters. Lookbook, the Satorialist, and various street style blogs all come to mind. Scores could be found in cafes and coffee shops, too: slowly nursing lattes while browsing Facebook on Macbooks, or toying around with iPhones. Indeed a hipster paradise that has no qualms or reservations about being open with its identity.
If anything, it seemed more like a paradise where 20-something year-old kids from the suburbs could masquerade as "artists," all the while paying $2,000 to live in a "loft." Living lives completely unimpeded by authority or responsibility, as many are on the bankroll of wealthy parents. Such behavior lends the area a temporary, transient feel, as people move there to revel and be a part of the "scene," and live a sadly misconstrued idea of what is an urban lifestyle. Furthermore, these are the very people who cherish diversity, yet flinch when confronted by it; evidenced by the homogeneous circles they immerse themselves in. well, maybe they like diversity when it's ironic or kitsch, or is convenient to their advantage. Pretentiousness and arrogant, condescending hipsters aside, the area does have its redeeming qualities.
For one, it is the throbbing heart of the "new" Brooklyn, meaning many of the new social venues, culinary offerings, and general hubbub heard of the borough, is from). Easy access to Manhattan via the L-train and Williamsburg's namesake bridge, nice park spaces that offer great views of The City, and plenty of boutique shopping, too, are major pluses.
Interestingly enough, event in the heart of the Great Recession, the place is continually transforming. Everywhere you look there are signs of gentrification and redevelopment. And while much of is manifested in new condo projects (many of which are stalled sites), there is also the innumerable number of increasingly swank and innovative eating options that have sprouted up in the many side streets, and a rising number of yuppie-oriented social venues. The condos are a hoot, though: out of place 30-story Miami-style glass condominiums now cast shadows over largely low-rise area. Funny enough, the flashy apartments (poorly) attempt to cash in on and exploit its once-strong hipster credibility and cachet, aiming to lure mature types "tired of being old," and who "want to be their inner selves again." I guess you can call it grannyfication?
Williamsburg, the lost hipster utopia. The place where clean spaces offering coffee from 4 continents and parking spaces for dogs, mesh with unsanitized, graffitied storefronts and active industrial sites; where intrepid hipster colonialists rub elbows with moneyed Manhattanite trustfunders and power brokers. A strange place indeed; one of the many faces of New York, I guess.
Bed-Stuy: Firstly, this was by far my favorite of the neighborhoods I visited, and perhaps, the only one to truly live up to its name. Highly understated and somewhat underappreciated – something reflected in the rents and home prices – I was enamored by the nabe and its great abundance of gorgeous brownstone houses, which were often in intact rows of 3 and 4 stories. I don't know why, but I've totally fallen in love with this place. Brimming with awe-inducing architecture, it features a locally-renowned tight-knit, largely African-American community. What's even better about it is despite the fact that its comfortably middle class, it's close enough to the "hood" that it's not at all insulated. All said, it is the largest black neighborhood in the country, bar none.
This is the fabled home of many hip-hop greats, and is a place revered extensively in their lore. Among some of the more famous to hail from the nabe: Notorious B.I.G, Jay-Z, Mos Def, Aaliyah and the Ol' Dirty Bastard. In addition to having extensive representation in music, it was the setting for Spike Lee's now classic "Do the Right Thing," and Chris Rock's television show "Everybody Hates Chris." It wasn't always safe or welcoming to an outsider (hell, it wasn't even welcoming to locals) though; something manifested in its nickname: "Bed-Stuy Do or Die." Indeed the neighborhood was the largest ghetto in the country, with over 50% of all households making less than $25,000/per year.
The locals, unsurprisingly, are majority black. But that's not where it ends, though; many of the residents are what I've come to call "ethnic blacks." A medley of blacks is what Bed-Stuy (and neighboring Crown Heights, too) really is. While there, I saw blacks from all walks of life, and not just African-Americans. American blacks were as common as those from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Haiti and Burkina Faso, Mali, and Senegal. This is, of course, visible in not only the Creole-tilted English heard spoken in many of the streets, but in Caribbean-run 99 Cent stores and takeout kitchens (known for their patties, jerk chicken and roti); primly-dressed homophobic Caribbean grandmothers congregating outside of storefront churches; and West African halal grocery markets shops that don French signage.
While many people decry the area for its lack of amenities, I seek solace in its tasteful architecture, of which is among the best NYC has to offer. A NYC architecture website described Bed-Stuy as having "[..] Masonry row housing of distinguished architectural quality and vigorous churches whose spires contribute to the area's frequently lacy skyline." Yes, it's really that good. The blocks seem to go on forever, stretching as far as the eye can see. Elegant and stately they are, I found Bed-Stuy's architecture to be among the best in Brooklyn, third to only Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope. And though faded glory is the name, most of them retain original ornamentation and detailing, making them some of the better brownstones in the city (i.e., they aren't "plain jane"). In addition to having some of the best brownstones, Bed-Stuy has the most; having the largest such collection of brownstones in NY.
As the "Harlem" of Brooklyn, it'll be interesting to see how gentrification fares in a neighborhood (it's already gentrifying in some areas; no NY nabe is immune from this). It had just started to take off before the economy put an abrupt end to it; NY MAG anointed it as the "next hipster destination." But, last I heard, people in Da Stuy didn't take too kindly to the process, and some of the initial gentrifyers were getting mugged, randomly assaulted, or worse. Not entirely surprising, though. Chances are I'd be up in arms if people were out trying to make my nabe into the next Carrol Gardens or Fort Greene, too. With the economy purportedly picking, no doubt is this nabe likely to be on the front line of the 2010's gentrification war. Its relatively modest home prices, good transit connections, and attractive housing stock are simply too good to pass up. If ghettos like Harlem and the LES like have succumbed to upscale-ization, I'd imagine anything is possible.
Sunset Park: Now this was a neighborhood that totally caught me off guard. It was like a slice of Boyle heights in Brooklyn! And what is most interesting about it, was that I was told to steer clear of it, for its generous Mexican and Chinese populations were too similar to LA. It's fine, though, because I totally enjoyed the place.
Though, in all honesty, chances are that I enjoyed it more so for it reminded me of home. Much like how I felt Pilsen in Chicago, places with large Mexican populations easily remind me of LA, due to the sheer size of our Mexican population. When vast portions of your city are populated by Mexicans and characterized by Mexican-related businesses, it's kind of hard not to feel at ease, or at the very least, not feel out of place, when seeing such elsewhere. 5th avenue was just crazy. An intense, narrow street jam-packed with not only tons of Mexicans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, but also the various knick-knacks that accompany their presence: the obligatory taquerias, panaderías, carnicerías, and lavanderías, in addition to unisex salons, photo studios, and travel agencies. Furthermore, the area has what I've come to consider as the best skyline view of Manhattan (from a park, that is).
The eponymous park is amazing. For one, the views; they are out of this world. At the center of it, perched on a steep hill are benches that afford splendid vistas of the downtown and midtown Manhattan skylines. Fanning out in every direction are tasteful rows of brownstones, with the park also serves as a border line of sorts, separating the Hispanic portion from that of the largely Chinese over further east, over the hill. The Chinatown, one of 3 in the city, is renowned for its sheer size and authentic character. The food, too, is pretty serious out there, with many of its devout fans saying it offers among the best food out of China.
The neighborhood, with its interesting mix of cultures and foods, relative affordability, and unpretentious/un-touristy nature scores well in my book. Many people wrote if off as boring or uninteresting but being completely honest, I felt the exact opposite. It struck me as a quintessential immigrant neighborhood, one emblematic of many in the city and borough. It is one of those places where its strength is in character and people, rather than appearance. There is definitely a lot to see and enjoy, but only if you open your eyes. Though, I'd imagine that applies anywhere you go.

By JOHN RUSSELL
Published: January 30, 1987
THE current 50-year retrospective of works on paper by Jack Tworkov at the Nancy Hoffman Gallery, 429 West Broadway, at Prince Street, is an exhibition that reveals itself slowly and gently. But it turns out in the end to have more strength, and more variety, than many a show that tries to knock us out before we even get inside the door.
In his art, as in life, Jack Tworkov (1900-1982) had a look of diffidence. Though he was widely acclaimed as a second-generation Abstract Expressionist, his work had a warm, lyrical, untormented air. It never looked facile, but it looked to be comfortable with itself. Gorky, Rothko and at times Pollock might tear themselves apart in public to extend the potential of an introspective, all-revealing art. But, as he himself said later, Tworkov aimed rather at ''the more perfect possibility, the more perfect painting,'' and his idea of perfection was one in which the confessional played no part.
His colors were mostly subdued and well mated, and he liked them to be structural, rather than ingratiating, in their effect. In the 1970's he worked with gridding and with a superabundance of precisely calibrated straight lines, rectangles and diagonals. This suggested that his paintings and drawings were very much under control. And, just as in life he rarely raised his voice, so could his art be read as a matter of nuance and implication, from which the grosser, more peremptory passions were excluded.
He himself encouraged this interpretation by saying that in the 1970's and early 80's he based his work on mathematical progressions. He relied on those progressions to achieve what he called ''a symmetry of area, but not of shape.'' When this worked, as it usually did, it was in terms of forms that overlapped, caught one another off balance and yet ended up in equilibrium. (A younger painter, Jennifer Bartlett, taught him about the mathematical progressions that were then a part of the international lingua franca of art, and he was punctilious about giving her credit for it.) In 1982 Jack Tworkov died, as he had lived, courageously and without fuss. In his studio there was found a big cache of drawings and works on paper, dated over a period of 50 years and carried out in a wide range of idioms. One of the earliest of his surviving drawings, a pencil sketch of a hotel room in Paris, done in 1933, has since become the accepted point of departure for his long career, though in point of fact it was in the late 1920's that he showed with the Societe Anonyme, under the aegis of Katherine Dreier and Marcel Duchamp.
Throughout his life he made drawings of impersonal objects - an electric drill, a glass of water - to keep his eye and hand in trim. He also drew portraits of himself, though not from vanity. (He once said that ''the only reason I do self-portraits is because no one would sit for me as patiently as I sit for myself.'') But it is in the progression-drawings that the present show is richest. Many of them have never been seen, and the cumulative effect of so much that is new and fresh is one of intense exhilaration. Held in place by delicate lines that have the strength of steel cables drawn tight, the geometrical forms seem to hang in the air, talking to one another and always finding something important to say. Unlike the flat, anonymous applications that were often found in geometrical abstract painting, Tworkov's shapes were built up by addition and accumulation. The rate and the weight of his stroking varied from inch to inch, and almost from centimeter to centimeter. From this, there resulted the light, irregular breathing of the surface that does so much to animate it.
The show that results is on a museum scale, but the drawings fall upon our consciousness like snowflakes, noiselessly. And, as with the It should be added that a related and larger retrospective exhibition of oil paintings by Tworkov has just opened at the Pennsylvania Academy in Philadelphia and can be seen there through April 5. Also of interest this week: Louise Lawler (Metro Pictures, 150 Greene Street): This show has a stately look, being made up primarily of very large high-gloss color photographs, some of which recur four times over with an effect that borders on hypnosis. The message in each case has to do with the vanity, uniformity and general absurdity of the big-ticket international art world.
Pretty young women nurse a Picasso construction of 1912 as if it were their newborn baby. Houses the world over have the same Frank Stella, hung above the same household object. There is a tart, glancing comment on the contrast between the simplified, down-to-earth outlook of Fernand Leger's paintings in his great days and their present status as objects of conspicuous consumption and potential sale.
There are also some sets of glasses (made in collaboration with the architect Richard Meier) that are ornamented with goofy conversational openers. Among those openers: ''Are you a tourist?'' ''Why were the Japanese in WWII?'' and ''What did your father do?''

Project DescriptionFROM THE ARCHITECTS:
NH Architecture's proposal connects Flinders Street Station to a new future through elements drawn from the memory of this city's citizens…our collective Melbourne-ness.
OVERALL DESIGN MERIT - Flinders Street Station has been a cornerstone in Melbourne's urban evolution: from its Victorian past to the contemporary global city of today, it has been the meeting point of Melbourne for more than a century.
Our design seeks to capture this 'Melbourness' and create a new landmark for the city and the Yarra River. As a partner to Federation Square it will be the next generation 'postcard' for national and international visitors.
A glass lattice roof will float above the stations new concourses, offering commuters protection from Melbourne's four-seasons-in-one-day without interrupting the historical views of the original station building or across the river to Southbank.
TRANSPORT FUNCTION - Commuters will be able to access the station from a number of new address points. The Elizabeth and Queen Street precinct will connect to a major western station entrance while a new pedestrian bridge extending across the river will allow direct access for commuters arriving from Southbank.
An upgraded Swanston Street entry will be connected to the new western concourse via a pedestrian loop a level above the existing platforms. This allows escalators and lifts access to both ends of the platforms and streamline the flow of daily commuters.
CULTURAL HERITAGE AND ICONIC STATUS - We believe the rejuvenated station should retain its traditional open-air quality to ensure the famous dome and the Elizabeth Street clock tower remains as the signature elements.
We also propose a new landmark at the centre of the station precinct: the Melbourne Room. This public venue compresses the genetic DNA of the city into a room able to accommodate the cultural spill-over from Federation Square, the artistic visions of the Victorian Arts Centre, the sporting icon of the Brownlow Medal presentation or the wild and dangerous world of Circus Oz.
URBAN DESIGN AND PRECINCT INTEGRATION - A new pedestrian bridge extending across the river from the Southbank Arts Precinct, an 'opening-up' of the Swanston Street concourse and a major new station entry at its Western end will bind the precinct into Melbourne's continuing evolution.

I'd like to adopt the wiki and obtain admin and b'crat rights, so that it becomes nicer looking (e.g. background, watermark), and also so that I can fix some stuff (like the navigation, and the numerous red links that look nearly the same as orange), and afterwards, promote the wiki.
Thanks for your consideration!

STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS -- (Senate - February 14, 2007)
Mrs. CLINTON. Mr. President, today I am proud to introduce the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act with Senator Reid and colleagues from both sides of the aisle.
This legislation would allow us to investigate the links between environmental exposures and breast cancer. Improving our ability to investigate the connection between pollutants and cancer incidence is the first step in improving our overall response to environmental health concerns. Environmental hazards manifest themselves in unexpected cancers, tumors, and other diseases in ways that we are only now beginning to understand.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States, and 3 million women in the United States are currently living with the disease 1 million of whom have not yet been diagnosed. Each year, over 13,000 women in New York State are diagnosed with this disease. Every one of us has been affected by breast cancer, whether it is through our own personal battle or our experiences offering love and support to our friends, our mothers, and our sisters.
Since 2001, I have sought to raise awareness of the need for increased research into the connections between environmental factors and the incidence of chronic diseases like breast cancer. I have worked closely with advocates from New York on this issue, and hosted a field hearing of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in Long Island to discuss breast cancer and other environmental health concerns.
The bill that we are introducing today will expand the available resources for our scientists and expedite research in this area. The Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act will create Centers of Excellence to engage in multidisciplinary research, carried out in collaboration with the community, and learn more about how environmental factors may be linked to the more than 200,000 breast cancer cases diagnosed each year.
I am hopeful that in the not-too-distant future, the incidence of breast cancer will be dramatically reduced, and in the handful of new cases that appear, we will be able to provide high-quality, highly effective treatment and save women's lives. But in order to achieve those goals, we need to learn more about all the causes of breast cancer, including the environmental factors that contribute to this disease.
Last year, the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act was reported unanimously out of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. I will work with my colleagues there to once again move it through the committee process quickly, so that we can pass this essential legislation in this session of Congress.

Swap name: The Four Elements Swap
Craftster member who is organizing this swap: the franz
Sign-up date range: 10/17/08 - 10/31/08 or until full
Date to send item by: 12/08/08
Limited to a certain number of people? (optional): 24
Restricted to people who all live in the same country? NO
Age requirement? If you are under 18 please get your parent's permission
Details of swap:
This swap is all about the elements: Earth, Air, Water, and Fire! We will be crafting for this swap based on the point system for total of 8 points, each of the 4 elements must be represented and at least 70% of your items must be crafted.
For some great ideas on what you could craft check out the preliminary thread here:
1 Point = 1 Small, 1 hour or less crafting time, purchased items less than $2.50 or found items
2 Points = 1 Medium, 1 - 3 hours crafting time, purchased items $2.50 - $5
3 Points = 1 Large, at least 3 hours crafting time, purchased items $5 - $10
The point system simply allows for flexibility in this swap, e.g. you've got a super awesome idea for fire but are having trouble with what to craft for air then you can devote more points to fire and less to air. This also opens up the option of crafting for the fifth element: spirit, as suggested by craftster Ronda S. Remember though to try to keep a good mix of different sized items and to communicate with your partner about how you are planning to craft your points, just don't tell 'em what your making unless both of you decide it's okay.
You have to PM me and your partner when you both send and receive. If you are sending within US you need to get a DC or tracking number. If you are sending internationally you must have proof of shipment in either a receipt or customs number.
We want to see all your goodies so if you don't have a digital camera please get your partner to take pics for you.
Please keep good communication with your partner.
There will be two check-ins that will be done via PM at half way and one week before send outs.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, concerns or something comes up. And remember to HAVE FUN!
*NOTE* I work a full time job Monday through Friday so all communications and feedback updates will generally happen after 5PM EST during the week.

As a young boy Welburn knew he wanted to be a designer. After a 44-year-long career that recently ended with his retirement he is focused on promoting an appreciation for, and knowledge of classic cars (Casey Maxon, HVA)
Maxon led workshop participants through the importance of photography for documentation before the students tried their hand behind the shutter
Birch led students through the basic fundamentals of pin striping, highlighting the traditional techniques and importance of the skill in the restoration industry (Casey Maxon, HVA)
Photo that each workshop participant took home (Casey Maxon, HVA)
Welburn shared his journey to becoming a designer, while workshop participants sketched under his guidance (Casey Maxon, HVA)
Participants took a photo of each other with the Buick Y Job as part of the photography station at the Historic Vehicle Association's Documentation Lab at the NB Center for American Automotive Heritage (Casey Maxon, HVA)
With marker in hand, Ed Welburn, retired Vice President of Global Design for General Motors, sketched a simple silhouette. Almost 30 teens comprised his audience. Yet, in spite of that, you could hear Welburn's marker trail across the paper. And when he lifted his marker off the page, his young students immediately began imitating his sketch. Welburn then walked the class offering suggestions and helping the beginners.
In July, he joined Hagerty in Allentown, Pa., as part of the Buick Club of America's 50th Anniversary Celebration. The workshop provided kids and young adults, ages 12 through 18, with hands-on experiences and exposure to a variety of skills and career opportunities. Automotive design, pin striping and documentary photography were demonstrated, further cultivating the next generation of classic car enthusiasts through the first-ever Hagerty Test Garage – the newest addition to Hagerty's Youth Program suite.
"Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of joining GM's design team," said Welburn. "It was the only job I ever wanted, and after 44 years with the company, I never lost sight of that childhood dream. Car-obsessed kids can have such a profound impact on the future of the automotive industry. Being an automobile designer is important work, but it's also a lot of fun, which is why programs like the Hagerty Test Garage are so important in helping today's youth learn more about the industry and realize their dreams."
In addition to Welburn, Casey Maxon, Historian of the Historic Vehicle Association and Miles Birch, a McPherson College Automotive Restoration program graduate, also helped lead learning stations. Workshop participants were able to take their finished projects home, including a pinstriped notebook, photograph of the 1938 Buick 'Y' Job (the first-ever GM prototype) and design sketches.
"My experience was awesome," said Hagerty Test Garage youth participant, Jacob Smith. "I learned so much about the importance of the historic automobile industry. I enjoy working on motors and fixing things. This program has opened my eyes to the many various career opportunities that exist in the historic automotive industry."
As part of Hagerty's Youth Advocacy Program, Test Garage was developed to help ensure the future of the classic car hobby by providing young people with unique access to classic car-related experiences. In addition to Test Garage, existing youth programs include Hagerty Youth Judging and The Hagerty Driving Experience which teaches young drivers how to operate manual transmission classic cars. To learn more, please visit www.hagerty.com/youthprograms.
Think environmental regulations are the greatest threat to the future of the collector car hobby? The real challenge might be a little closer to home.

Your portraits of horses are outstanding. I've always loved horses and watching them in motion is pure beauty. You've captured that in your work - excellent!
|'Act One'
|16x20 Inches
|Unframed / Unspecified
|Artists Comments:
|'Act One' was once of the highest rated horses in France and now stands at Shadwell Stud's Nunnery Stud. I chose to paint him because I loved the relaxed 'feel' about him, and the slight breeze in his mane just seemed to capture the moment. He is painted in pastel on A£ pastel card and is double mounted with a backboard and ready for framing. Free postage, packaging and postal insurance in the UK.
