I was reading an article by Parker Stansberry in which he states that several of the World's Countries and the IMF are considering using an alternate method of currency, a Special Drawing Fund, and abandoning the dollar. Stating this his idea is that investment should be in anything but US Dollar out of the reach of the Government since this signals an impending collapse of the Dollar and our Economy. Thoughts??????

Packing checklists for camping are available on LoveTheOutdoors.com, RealSimple.com and REI.com, as of 2015. ScoutLists.com offers multiple checklists for different types of camping trips.Continue Reading

A tent is a common camping shelter. Other shelter items to bring include any accessories necessary to set up the tent. When camping in a cabin or in a recreational vehicle, a tent isn't necessary.
Bedding includes, at a minimum, an item to keep the camper warm, such as a sleeping bag or blanket. The amount of bedding varies depending on the night time temperature in the area. Other possible bedding items include pillows and an air mattress.
Clothing includes changes of clothes for each day of the camping trip. The camper should also pack extra clothing in case it's necessary, and select clothing appropriate for the weather conditions.
Cooking supplies vary based on the food the camper brings. If the camper wants to cook food, he needs pots or pans. For canned food, he must bring a can opener.Learn more about Outdoor Adventure

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
so this is how i play nunu, i start jungeling (buying amp tone and a portion), i go for golems buff first, killing a small one with consume, retreat so the other 2 dont attack u anymore, kill the 2nd small one with consume, then retreating again and takin on the big one after consumes cooldown is over, i consume/smite/attack/consume/attack him, when i took some damage i take the portion you really need it :), maybe u should practise that once in a practisegame to be shure u can make it^^, then i go for the wolves, the wraiths, the 2 golems and then red buff, i at lvl 5 if u want to take on the dragon learn consume, if u want to start ganking at lvl 6 learn (or right now) i learn ice blast (thats what i prefer), before u start ganking u should have enough gold to afford a mejais and some boots, i normally buy sorcerer boots, but if there arent many preople mr stacking i go with ninjas or mercurys depending on the other team,
if u have some stacks on mejais u should directliy go for guardian, if u dont have any i would go with banshees first, after that i normally take a zhonyas, if the game isnt over then i normally go for rylais or if the team is mr heavy abyssal or void (depending on my team also if its casterheavy or not)
if u want me to add sth tell me or tell me what i can do better, its my first guide so keep on flaming :D
i also always ask before the game starts if its okay that i jungle, so my team can take someone who can sololane
the runes are my standard ap build runes so if u think they arent good u can pick others :)

Mosses and lichens are small plants that abound along the banks of the track. There is a bewildering variety.
Mosses are green plants that grow in dense patches, each shoot looking like a miniature tree. One is named totara because it looks like a miniature conifer, while another, called Dawsonia superba, is similarly shaped but much bigger and is thought to be the world's largest moss—it can be seen just over the Observation Creek bridge.
Mosses absorb rain water and are important habitats for tree seedlings to germinate and they harbour worms and insects that ground birds feed on.
Lichens are usually grey but come in many, often bright, colours. They are fungi that contain green algae. Hence they not only make their own food but also absorb nutrients from soil and decaying trees. This makes them very tough to withstand drought, so they often grow in the open, spreading over the soil and protecting it.
New Zealand is rich in lichens. Sometimes they grow on tree trunks and even leaves, and some grow only on coastal rocks. They produce spore bodies that can be black, yellow or red, and very eye-catching.

Magic Touch Mechanical, Top Rated AC & Heating Company in Phoenix
Magic Touch Mechanical has remained one of the highest rated air conditioning and heating companies in the Phoenix - Metro area for over 20-years. Sure, we can handle any repair, install new AC units, and are a preferred dealer for top manufacturers like; Trane, Lennox, Mitsubishi Ductless, Daikin and Goodman. Sure, we provide service to the entire valley from Queen Creek to North Scottsdale, Apache Junction to Peoria, but...we're not just another HVAC Contractor, because as our motto says; WE DO IT BETTER THAN IT HAS TO BE!
Magic Touch Mechanical provides whole home solutions for our clients that our competitors don't, or maybe just can't!
AZ Registrar of Contractors public records show that there are over 1,500 licensed air conditioning companies in Arizona, and the majority operate in Maricopa County. According to the utility companies APS and SRP, only about 35 of those employ BPI (Building Performance Institute) Certified Building Analysts and BPI Certified Envelope Specialists, and are approved by the Home Performance with Energy Star Program to offer consumer rebates, home energy audits, and energy efficient home improvements. Of those, only 28 conducted more than 10 home energy audits last year...Magic Touch conducts that many energy audits every week - and we've been doing it longer than almost all of them.
Why you should care if your air conditioning company considers your whole home when repairing or replacing your A/C:
For the last two decades Magic Touch has also been one of the leading energy audit & home improvement company's in Arizona - approved by both SRP and APS. We take a "whole home approach" to assure you and your family will not only be comfortable in every room in your home, but to guarantee you are receiving the efficiency your ac unit and heating unit are capable of.
According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America), the overwhelming majority of new ac units being installed in homes today, are not operating to the efficiency they are capable of...in fact, most are operating no more, or even less efficiently than the older air conditioner they replaced! This is due to improper installations, incorrectly sized equipment, leaky air ducts, improper refrigerant charge, and a long list of other poor design and install practices. The disturbing part of this fact is that this study was based on installations completed by licensed contractors!
HVAC Contractor's around the USA like Magic Touch that specialize in home energy audits, not only start by making sure the design is right, and that the unit is installed according to the manufacturer's exact specifications (known as ACCA-QI (Quality Installation), we inspect and test other "systems" in the home or building that will impact how comfortable your family or employees will be in every room. If your air ducts are too large, too small, or have excess lengths, it will have a direct correlation with the AC and heating unit's performance...and your comfort. The same can be said if there are deficiencies in your homes attic insulation or if your home is too leaky or your ducts are leaky.
ACCA, the organization that creates the standards for air conditioning contractors in North America; named Magic Touch the "National Residential AC Contractor of the Year" - the most prestegious honor any HVAC Company can recieve!
We are licensed, certified, and insured, to handle all of your home or commercial HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and home improvement needs including: Attic Insulation, Window Shade Screens, Air Duct Leak Testing / Sealing / & Repairs, Radiant Barriers, and Filtration & Air Purification.
Other services our highly trained and certified technicians and installers are equipped to handle include: Fireplace Repairs & Remodeling, Building Automation, Energy Management Systems, Wi-Fi Controls, and even Pool Heater Repairs.
Sure, we work in a lot of homes in Arizona and are the trusted contractor for over 25,000 homeowners in Mesa and nearby cities, but you can also count on the Magic Touch Team for all your commercial refrigeration repairs, complex energy management and control systems, and more. Our motto says it all: "WE DO IT BETTER THAN IT HAS TO BE", and we've maintained our A+ BBB record for 20-years, won 11 Angie's List Super Service Awards, remained # 1 on consumer review websites like Kudzu, Recommend-Me and others for that reason!

250 Square-Feet of Heaven in San Francisco
We think we live in a pretty small apartment, and we were recently impressed by a couple looking to move into a 400 square-foot space. But what about 250 square-feet? Could you do it? (Do you do it?)
According to an article in the SF Chronicle, that's the size of some brand new condominiums that are about to be sold in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood. They're starting at $279,000 and they're being marketed to young people, particularly singles, who don't have "too much stuff."
The name of the building is, appropriately, Cubix.
They're pretty stylish, but even the architect admits they're a bit too small for a family. We think, given the smart floor plan, they provide more than enough space for one person, possibly two.
What do you think?
The condos have some other green features besides their tiny sq-footage. Get more information here.

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
If you were to ask me like two weeks ago what I would change about my body I would say, WITHOUT HESITATION "I would like my thighs not to touch." (In fact, I made art about it. Which we can talk about sometime when I'm feeling more vulnerable.)
But then I was watching "The Cell" the other day (taking a breather from BSG) and right in the middle of all this crazy mindbending psycho shit that is happening, it cuts to J. Lo smoking a joint in front of one of those old school imacs, when she decides she needs a snack to go with her stoned pantslessness and THIS HAPPENS:
FUCK, JENNY. This 30 frames of flesh made it all click in my mind.
Then I got laid. Which actually completed the process of learning to appreciate my middle-bits (good looking out, ass).
Alright, I'm a little late to the ass appreciation parade. I know, I know women in the public eye are getting (ever so slightly) bigger. I'm not tripping though, the masses are still really spooked by the booty. It feels like bringing your fat ass to the party is like getting a tattoo in 2001: kinda edgy or whatever. It is still kind of a STATEMENT?
Alright. Fashion.
This is my GO-TO skirt for accentuating the booty:
I got this at H&M like too long ago so I can't link to it and you guys are going to have to get creative or something. Real neoprene bodycon is a HASSLE, though.This skirt with heels renders me pretty much immobile. I imagine that is what dudes are talking about when they say they hate wearing condoms because they feel like their whole bodies are wrapped in latex.
SIKE. That line is just so they can get into you bareback which is icky and not cool. Call me old-fashioned.
Acing the big booty is pretty much about proportions. The skirt being tight around your ass is the first step. What transforms your ass from Honda Accord to DUMPTRUCK is proportions. To achieve this, the skirt must go in at your ankles in such a way that it prohibits you from taking your knees and ankles apart, which in turn creates the effect of an ass that is quite a bit larger than it actually is. Got it?
You wanna know what I wore to my first day of college? POLY BOOTY SHORTS. Want to know why? I WAS THERE TO FUCK.
Just kidding, mom. These are extreme I know, and American Apparel is full of sexploitation and all that, but please remember that you can get their shit at any thrift store, anywhere, pretty much. I'm giving you IDEAS, guys I'm not telling you what to do exactly. These booty shorts are also awesome because there is no way your ass crease is staying in there, even if you're not working with a lot of fleshy stuff.
The less you have on the more you put out there; that is Physics.
Now for the sofa crowd: YOGA PANTS. Something about that goddamn folded part at the top of yoga pants makes your dunk shape itself in the most casual but perfect way. That flap just sits there like a cotton ass-mantle. If I'm ever "casually hanging out" with someone and I want them to start thinking about me naked, the yoga pants go on.
Try these, obviously these guys know what they are talking about because they brought sex to the Mall.
People also have a tendency to hate on patterns because they make you "look fat" or whatever. Guess what? That is the LOOK we are going for. No more of this "slimming" shenanigans. Lets get THICK, bitches. My sex machine roommate just got these jeans and they make her ass POP BADANG.
Two things are at work here with booty-swell. First, the subtle pattern makes you look larger all over; patterns do that. I don't know why, but they do. That's physics, too.
Second, a slight high-waist helps a ton because it brings your shizz in a little at the waist which achieves the same illusion as when the skirt goes in at the bottom. These pants are a one-two punch. Tuck a flowing shirt into the top of these fuck magnets and you create a spontaneous gravitational pull into the galactic expanses of your backside.
Lets roll all this knowledge together into one final freakshow and you end up here:
I showed this to the newest virgin sacrifice of xoJane and we agreed that the pattern on this one literally spreads your ass.
Last, we are all on the same page here with heels, right? Heels lift your butt. That is all I have to say about that.
So this concludes my ass parade. What do you think about your ass? Would you call yourself an ass-man? Tweet photos of yer ass me @BlackOlive15.

DAMIDGE: Limitation (Self released 2016)
This four track EP is the missing link between the UK festival scene and the New York CBGBs scene of the early 1970s.
High energy grungy punk with chunky rhythms and guitar solos long enough to keep us closet rockers happy, but short enough to keep the three chord punk purists happy. Al Damidge's vocals strut across the EP with a nonchalant swagger and if a voice could wear clothes, his would wear leather trousers and carry a flick knife. Continue reading DAMIDGE: Limitation

It has been more than a week since the 2016 Amelia Island Auction was concluded– and we can't seem to get over the plethora of more than 90 classic cars that were auctioned and sold last March 12. It was a high-end, international smorgasbord of classic cars from all over the world, with European cars dominating the scene. Though most of the cars that rolled out during the Amelia Island Auction were mostly from Europe, the final auction sales is a pretty good mix of American and Asian cars as well. Here are seven cars auctioned on that day that may likely rise in value during the next few years. Some of them may have not be overly expensive and with some not even reaching their minimum auction value, but with a clear indication of steadily rising in their market value it will not take long before we see these market movers under the limelight once again.
- 1967 Toyota 2000 GT
Asian cars have been seeing their day under the spotlight for quite some time already, and this 1967 Toyota 2000 GT is surely a cut above the rest. Being one of the few Japanese cars ever hitting the auction block, there were questions if this car has potential of hitting the 7-digit price mark seeing how the market seems to recently favour Japanese sports cars.
This particular 2000 GT model were sold and delivered new in the U.S. to Don Placke Toyota of St. Louis, Missouri – one of the 62 left-hand drive examples that were made specifically for the US back in 1967. Garbed in a crisp and impressive, all-white finish, its power comes from a 1,988 cc, 2,000 cc Yamaha DOHC hemi-head aluminum inline six-cylinder engine maxing at 150 bhp. It was sold at a last price of RM $797,500 slightly lower than RM Sotheby's estimated value of $800,000 to $950,000.
- 1962 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Limousine by Park Ward
Coachbuilt Rolls-Royces and other big limousines seem to make a comeback, and are currently in great bargains. However, this doesn't mean that they can go any lower than the 6-digit mark. This genuine 1962 Rolls-Royce Phantom V coachbuilt by Park Ward is one of the very few luxury cars that the company built for its elite upper class clientele. It remained a tremendously expensive automobile that was produced solely to individual special-order; as with earlier Rolls-Royces. Lot #136 comes with a 220 bhp, 380 cu. in. overhead-valve V-8 engine, four-speed automatic transmission, independent front suspension with coil springs and an anti-roll torsion bar, rigid rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. This Phantom V has 20,000 miles on the clock and comes with a full Rolls-Royce Foundation documentation. Initially valued between 125,000 to $175,000, it went under the hammer for a final auctioned price of $104,500. It can be observed that it's hard to find buyers for something so specific like this particular Rolls-Royce. However, Phantom Vs are rapidly becoming among the most desirable of modern coachbuilt Rolls-Royces that the opportunity here is to acquire a well-maintained and largely original example.
- 1978 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser
Believe it or not, every major classic car auction is legally mandated to feature a Toyota FJ40. Since it rapidly increased in value a few years ago, particularly in the 5-digit mark category, almost every auction block back features the Land Cruiser. This 1978 model is a product of a meticulous frame-off restoration using NOS parts. Even though the front disc brakes' design stretches back to the 1950s, it was only in 1978 that these were installed in the FJ40. Aside from its unique disc brakes, under the hood, it is powered by a 4,230 cc OHV inline six-cylinder engine, four-speed manual transmission with low-range and part-time all-wheel drive, and front and rear live-axle suspension. Estimated to bring in as much as $70,000 to $90,000, this '78 Toyota FJ40 was sold for $82,500.
- 1985 Ford RS200 Evolution
With only 24 RS200 Evolutions ever built, it will not come as a surprise if we don't see these performance cars much often. Much more if you're looking that Group B racer that was once tagged as the "fastest accelerating car in the world" by the Guinness Book of World Records. With 600hp coming from its 2,137 cc DOHC 16-valve turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with Bosch electronic fuel injection, this RS200 is fitting representative of the Golden Era of rallying. Sad as it may sound, it only comes with a 450km mileage, which is forgivable knowing that there are only 23 of its kind somewhere out there. So virtually, it may also be the fastest and most unused accelerating car in the world. RM estimated it to hit the auction hammer anywhere between $475,000 and $675,000. It was eventually sold for $522,500.
- 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 '23-Window' Super Deluxe Microbus with Eriba Puck camper
It doesn't come as a surprise if you bump on a 6-figure, 23-window VW bus every now and then. But having to see it restored in its original Turquoise and Blue White color scheme with a similarly colored camper trailer is a rare oddity indeed. RM describes this 1963 Volkswagen Microbus as a "rare walk-through model", more so because of its accompanying rare, 1967 Eriba Puck camper. As with all VW Microbus, it comes with enough horsepower from its 585 cc OHV air-cooled horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, to comfortably pull itself and its camper along the interstate. Built in Wolfsburg, Germany, on March 13, 1963, according to its Certificate of Authenticity, the bus was subsequently sold new in San Francisco. Some years later, the bus was purchased by a private girls' school in Kansas City as it offered comfortable seating for nine passengers. In the 1990s, the bus and trailer found their way to San Francisco with Microbus enthusiast David Yost, who reportedly performed a bare-metal restoration during his 12-year ownership, including spending an estimated $11,000 on the camper alone, renewing its paint, top, stove, refrigerator, and sink. RM estimated that the pair will sell between $125,000 and $175,000, and it did pretty well on the auction block with a final selling price of $159,500.
- 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO
If you're a fan of high-performing cars during the 1980s, then probably this car was in your wish list, or has even made its way on your wall as a center-piece poster. The iconic 1984 Ferrari 288 Gran Turismo Omologato doesn't hit the auction block quite often, but when they do, people certainly turn their heads more than twice. Its more than adequate 400hp comes from a mid-mounted twin-turbo 2.8-liter V8 with fuel injection that cycles through a manual, 5-speed transmission capable of 0-60 at an amazing 4.8 seconds. This particular 288 GTO is not just know for its beastly performance, but also for being the first, officially Ferrari 288 GTO to ever be delivered and sold to Japan on April 10, 1985 to Yoshiho Matsuda – a very prominent figure in worldwide Ferrari circles. Mr. Matsuda is noted for having the world's finest and most complete Ferrari collection, housing some of the marque's most valuable and significant automobiles, including a trio 250 GTOs, in a museum-like setting. With 6,800 miles on the clock, and one of the 272 models ever made, RM auction experts predicted its value to range anywhere between $2.3 and $2.6 million, and even higher knowing that there always a battle for one of these every time it hits the auctions. It was eventually sold for $2,585,000
- 1958 Pontiac Bonneville "Fuel-Injected" Convertible
In an uncharacteristic move, General Motors introduced new bodies and chassis for all its cars back in 1958, offering a mechanical fuel injection system in some of its peak performers rendering it to be the most powerful among its generation. With only around 200 cars fitted with this system, this extremely rare fuel-injected 370 cu. in. OHV V-8 engine maxes out at 310 bhp and is moderated by a 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, independent coil-spring front suspension, live rear axle with trailing arm coil-spring suspension, and four-wheel hydraulic power drum brakes. This particular build is claimed to be of a concours-grade, and is equipped with period options including dual spotlights. With an estimated value of $125,000 to $150,000, RM Sotheby's eventually auctioned it at $121,000.
You may visit RM Auction's website through the link below if you wish to see the all of the auction results of March 12. It is interesting to point out that the latest offerings of the famed auction house highlights a various classics not just from Europe but also on the local front such as Fords, Cadillacs, and Chevys.
The title of being the highest auctioned car of the 2016 Amelia Concours goes to a 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica LWB Coupe Aerodinamico by Pininfarina that went under the hammer for $4,400,000 (refer to the fist image of this article). Originally designed for the impeccable American sportman Erwin Goldschmidt, the blue beast of a hypercar was once humbly titled as the "Greatest Beast of them All."

Movie Review: Interstellar (2014) | by volcanolam - "The 16 yrs old Casual Blogger" [Movie Reviews, Opinions, Essays & More!!]
Interstellar (2014)
Rating: 7/10
Interstellar (2014) delivers what I love about Nolan, all the intellectual stuff and the emotion and practical effects etc. The contrast between farmers and astronauts. The conflict between own preferences and humanity's fate. The exploration into science in space and all its possibilities, so as the meditation on our own self, humans, the NASA, selfish individuals ruining the civilization. Generally, the scope is huge as it sometimes addresses humanity as a whole, thought provoking and resonant. If everyone on earth is dead yet embryos are retained and brought to another planet light years away to live, are they still homo sapiens? Is it really a continuation of species, after all the civilization is gone? Is that really necessary to do so?
Inception is better. The intellectual concept about dreaming is much more palpable for audiences, and its cast is star-studded. Still, Interstellar is a scintillating showcase of one of the most complex brains in the film industry. As long as Nolan keeps on making films, keeps on delivering the thrills, there will always be that group of audience in the theaters who believe that blockbuster sare not always dumb.
Good Things to Note: The last 30 minutes is so complex, moving, powerful it transcends the complicity of Inception, Batman trilogy. Throughout the film, I kept on wondering what Nolan was trying to conjure in Interstellar, with 70% RT rating. You just shouldn't be dubious of Christopher Nolan's visions in how the cinema can extend beyond the scope of entertainment and to produce meaning to humanity as a whole, and his aptitude in spawning meaningful originals.
The sheer volume of the 30min, the scale, it made me feel small. I am too ordinary, too inconspicuous in this world, a teenager of nothing special suffering from school work and begging for college admissions. I don't fit in the world Interstellar implied. That's why I can barely process all the messages this movie has just conveyed. MIND BLOWN.

By Bob Seay
August 3, 2011
BOSTON—The massive borrowing in support of Massachusetts' transportation infrastructure has reached nearly unmanageable levels and we must find a way to pay it down or the problems with stalled locomotives, broken subway cars and crumbling bridges will only get worse.
Yesterday Richard Dimino President and CEO of A Better City outlined the scope of the fiscal problems facing the MBTA and other Massachusetts transit infrastructure. Today he talks about his ideas on how to fix them.
Two years ago, Massachusetts contemplated raising the gas tax to rescue the ailing Turnpike Authority but instead helped pay their bills using a portion of the increased state sales tax. Now that debts are mounting for other state transportation organizations a raise in the gas tax is being discussed again.
And as painful as it is to contemplate, Dimino says the benefits of a gas tax are easy to see across the Atlantic. Though Europeans are pay much more for gas, Dimino says they have a higher quality infrastructure and are currently expanding their transportation systems.
Although Lt. Gov Timothy Murray suggested two weeks ago that a gas tax hike is on the horizon, Dimino thinks the public would strongly oppose the move and doesn't predict any increase in the near future.
Dimino suggests that sourcing funds to pay our transportation debts more broadly could be more palatable than one larger, more visible tax hike. Slightly increasing a variety of existing taxes like those on motor vehicles, payroll and parking combined with fees based on the number of miles one drives, emissions, development impact fees and a local option sales tax could all help to pay off the transportation system debts. It all sounds painful but Dimino says such an approach would avoid relying solely on the gas tax to solve the problem.
"If you find lots of little places where people can chip in, it adds up to a lot of money and you start hammering away at the five hundred million dollar deficit at the MBTA, maybe you start chipping away at the huge debt service our transportation system has, maybe we can find a way to plan expansion––dare I say the next set of improvements in our transportation system."
And then there is a bigger player that Dimino says has yet to be tapped.
"Could we look at the airport as being a stronger financial partner with our transit system I think the answer to that is yes. We can look at that either through parking receipts—another option is pay a local assessment –should there be some kind of structured assessment on the port relative to the transit services it gets everyday"
In fact, MASSPORT already has a working group looking at the issue: At their meeting on July 21st Interim Massport CEO David Mackey said he supported efforts to explore how Massport might contribute more to the transit system, but cautioned that
any action taken cannot jeopardize Massport's ability to fund the operating and capital costs of the seaport including the Conley terminal, or its financing relationship with the FAA which is its primary source of funding, or its mission to provide "operation of its airport and seaport facilities in a safe, secure and world class manner."
In other words, assessing the airport for additional money for transportation infrastructure is not going to be easy.
It seems there's no easy way to get more money but most officials agree that without more revenue Massachusetts' transportation funding crisis will worsen, and the system will deteriorate.
Dimino admits the biggest challenge is convincing a skeptical public that paying for transportation infrastructure maintenance and improvements will improve their quality of life.
"I think the public, once they understand that not investing in transportation affects their pocketbook in a different way and also puts them and their commute at risk and at the same time hurts our economy–– they hopefully will rally with our legislators and our legislators will be willing to take risks and lead us to solving these problems."
That may be wishful thinking on Dimino's part but the financial threat to our transportation system won't go away and at some point we'll have to pay our way out of Debt Valley.

I quickly realized we needed some visual guides and pulled up some Google images as I talked about snowshoeing, ice fishing, snow mobiles, snowmen, snow ball fights, snow forts, and sledding. When I told them that I spent a night in an snow fort I made for a Polar Bear challenge with my dad when I was a kid they begged to hear more. I described how we made the fort so that we slept raised up on a platform (to let cold air sink below us) and then how we stayed warm (without melting the fort) using candles and the heat from our breath in a hardened-snow fort and why this was better than a solid ice fort.
This discussion had me thinking about a short interview I watched the other day of Gary Stager at a Maker Faire, which is "a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement." Stager made a few statements that help describe this spontaneous teaching moment I had about snow forts from my childhood and the most important is that "Knowledge is a consequence of experience." We need to show students that we are interesting people who lead a well-balanced life and don't simple live, eat, sleep, and breath our classrooms.

Watson – doesn't roll off the tongue like T1000February 18th, 2011
But is the name of our eventual overlord that important?
Lets for a second pretend you missed the IBM Jeopardy Challenge – the challenge to determine future rule of the human race. For one, you are a silly mortal… you missed our race being destroyed by a mere LCD screen showing a globe with exclamation marks over top (I'm informed each mark represents a race previously conquered). Here, have some back story…
To think – this entire situation could have been mitigated if Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter didn't humiliate Watson with their post match antics;
Yea, good work Brad. Give him the old rabbit ears. Jerk.
Ken, who I have deemed to be 7/8ths smarter than Brad "I'm an actor" Rutter made humble advances on Watson throughout the rounds;
Smart move Ken. Keep playing your cards (or tiles as the case may be) right and you will have secured your position as "Human Death Camp Warden #213″. A position coveted by Brad "I'm not as good as Ken" Rutter.
Evidently it was the post match humiliation that really drove Watson to destroy our souls as direct punishment for what these mortals deemed "post match jovials". FOOLS! Once again Brad "I'll be a TV host one day" Rutter has proven he doesn't think before he acts (or buzzes).
And I bet Alex Trebek is rethinking his life decisions after he was so certain the human race could defend itself in a simple trivia game. You fool Trebek, you've sealed our fate.
As a few side notes;
– Despite Ken's best efforts I don't think you can honestly describe a match of Jeopardy as gladitorial.
– Why did the entire audience need to be IBM staffers? Was the blatant humiliation of our race in a knowledge test not enough? We needed super nerds in suits surrounding the contestants.
– Next round we should allow Watson to beam the information directly to our neural cortex… despite the pain associated with this approach I would prefer it over the ancient IBM spokesman talking through a dust mouth – Ok… I can't for the life of me find an image of this guy. But he was old. Walt Disney old.
– The entire three day challenge was in fact an ad for IBM.
– Its pretty decent that in the end charity was the big winner here – with nearly all spoils going to charity.
My rants aside – if you wanted to see some more info on a pretty spectacular project… check out the IBM page on Watson. If you are up for a nice in-depth video summary check out – this link.

The liveIreland Music Awards 2016 (2016 Livies)
Here they all are!! This is the 2016 Livies list of our 10 winners in the various areas of traditional music. This is the 12th year for the Awards, which are second only to TG4 as far as importance and distribution are concerned. Actually, as they are here on LI, you could well argue these are the most publicized Awards on a worldwide basis for our music. In any case, they ARE the best of the best and congratulations to all! The envelopes please!
Instrumental Cut of the Year: Tartare Frigate – Dallahan
From the dramatic guitar opening to the wonderful arrangement and the tremendous musicianship, this brilliant quintet scores as big on this cut as the rest of their tremendous album, When the Day Is On the Turn. The Tartare Frigate is a tune that has been around a while and recorded by others—but never like this! This cooks big time, and is an obvious choice for Instrumental Cut of the Year. Really hard to get out of your head!
Best Vocal/Instrumental Album: Jeremiahs
Surprisingly, the Jeremiahs with their self-titled debut album are one of the easier picks this year. Usually, it is a toe-to-toe battle for this Award, but the Jeremiahs must be recognized. This Dublin-based quartet is easily the most revolutionary group in The Top TIR this year. Throw out your idea of what an Irish "ballad" group sounds like, especially if you are thinking about the groups of yesterday. No one has ever sounded like the Jeremiahs, nor could they. This group is brilliant, absolutely fresh, and can be around as a major force in Irish music as long as they want to be. You read it here first. The Jeremiahs are tomorrow. Incredible.
Album of the Year: Buttons and Bows
It is called Return to Spring. The reason that it is the Album of the Year is easy. It is perfect, and the best album released this year. Manus McGuire, Garry O'Briain, Jackie Daly, and Seamus McGuire have put out several albums as Buttons and Bows (this is their fourth). No instrumental group, with the possible exception of Brock-McGuire or Lunasa, is more treasured among musicians. Whether it be Liz Carroll, Colin Farrell, or Michael McGoldrick, just mention the name, Buttons and Bows. Watch them smile. The music cannot be done better than this. Return to Spring is a treasure, and if you love the music, you must have it.
Best Male Musician: Tom Byrne
From the first notes of Tom Byrne's self-titled album you are stunned. You are in the presence of a master musician and you may well have never heard anything like this before. It is not enough to say that Tom Byrne plays the harmonica. He is the Paganini of the harmonica. Think we're exaggerating? Get ahold of this cd after tracking him down on the net, listen to it all in one sitting, and you will be speechless. As were we. Our pal, Paul Brock told us about this musician, and we owe Paul a big debt of gratitude! Be it Larry Adler, Toots Theilemans, Brendan Power, Charlie McCoy, The Murphys or anyone else—you have never heard harmonica like this. Throw away any preconceptions. Unforgettable.
Best Female Musician: Máire Ní Chathasaigh
She is the best harp player in Irish music. There are several great Irish harpists—we think of Michelle Mulcahy, Catriona McDonald, Ailie Robertson, and Emer Mallon. There are more. They are all uber-fab. But, then there is Maire. Her new album is called Sibling Revelry. Really, there are no words. Just know this. This was an extremely easy pick this year.
Male Singer: Joe Gibney
He is the lead singer for the sensational and aforementioned Jeremiahs, and he is from Dublin. Joe may well end up changing the way Irish groups sound. For years, producers and festival organizers have sought the "next step" for vocally based groups, following up on the likes of the Clancys. Many have tried, almost all have failed. The ground is littered with them. Most of these groups utterly collapsed because they were derivative and had little talent, while sounding like pub drunks. Not Joe Gibney. Not the Jeremiahs. He is unique and a blessing! The Jeremiahs album this year proves it. Just listen to King of Rome or The North Sea Holes. The future has come to call.
Female Singer of the Year : Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh
She is the best female singer in Irish music, and that is that. She has done several albums with the everfab Danu, as well as a number of solo projects. In 2015, the group came out with the newest album, Buan. She is stunning on the album (as usual), and may be the only vocalist today able to keep up with the powerhouse that is Danu. She is marvelous—and she is a great flute player, as well! At LI, we count ourselves Presidents of her and Danu's fan clubs. She is a gift.
Best Song: Cold Missouri Water.
My LiveIreland partner, Imelda Bhroga and I became aware of this song just this year when we heard it sung by the brilliant Paul McKenna. It is about the Mann Gulch Forest Fire of 1949 in Montana. It is a bit of creative genius from Ontario in Canada by James Keelaghan. He wrote this quite a few years ago. Very seldom have we been more moved by a ballad regarding a real incident. Another easy winner. James Keelaghan is a sort of national treasure in Canada, and this proves why. It is on his The Recent Future album. There is something in the air or water supply in Canada that produces these magical talents. The song is an emotional AND historical revelation.
Best Instrumental Album: Colin Farrell
Colin released a starshine of an album this year, Make a Note. What is it about Manchester, England? Here is yet another brilliant musician from that city, playing both flute AND fiddle! He is based in the States now, and is the fiddler for the iconic, Lunasa in their American gigs, and others around the world. That SHOULD tell you how good he is, but it doesn't. It is his virtuosity on both instruments that sets him apart. He is magic, and so is this beautifully produced and engineered album. Can it be done better? Doubtful. Highly doubtful. A master of his instruments and the music. We were stunned when we first heard it. Still are.
Best New Group: Connla
Connla is a quintet out of Northern Ireland, and a creative explosion. This brand new group released only a self-titled ep disc this year (only four cuts), yet took the international traditional music scene by storm. Their calendar is filling faster than anyone's in the music, and you will see them soon. Brilliant. Wondrous singing, incredible musicianship, modern, trad, altogether. As with all the best, they are improving the music while honoring it. They are set for a VERY long run, and we will all be the beneficiaries! Up Connla!

The feel is contemporary, light and informal with white decor and solid wood floors throughout.
The house is situated in a quiet, green residential area of the Cap. In addition to the main house, the garage accessed from the garden contains a ping pong table and a small drinks fridge.
The house is rented fully furnished and all bed linen, bath and beach towels are provided. The pool is maintained weekly and there is a weekly gardener. There is a french speaking cleaning team and an English speaking management team living five minutes from the house.
The house is fully fenced with an electric side gate and an electric sliding gate into the drive and garden. The house has a burglar alarm and a safe.
Please note we don't accept any pets (wooden floors and cared for garden) and don't allow big parties (we have lovely neighbours). The staircase does not have a hand rail, the pool is alarmed but not fenced and there are quite a lot of hard surfaces....bottom line its not really suitable for small children nor does it provide handicapped access. That said, friends with larger children have had a marvellous time. The pool is in full view of the terrace.
Nearby are the attractions of the Cote d'Azur:
Just up the hill from the house is the church at the top of the Cap with wonderful views across the sea.
Plage Keller with safe swimming and fine restaurants plus the start of a beautiful coastal walk around the Cap.
Antibes with its covered farmers' market, large port and Picasso museum.
Juan les Pins with many beaches and restaurants.
Nice with its museums and port.
Saint Paul de Vence: a walled village with the Maeght Foundation for 20th century art
Cannes: with the Croisette and where you can take the ferry to St Tropez or the car free islands off Cannes. Another ferry goes from Juan les Pins.
The nearest access to the sea is a five minute walk away.
It was our second visit in consecutive years to La Maison Moderne and our first family holiday back to the same house ever! Ideal for a family with teens plus, everybody can be together or find their own space. The house is light, airy and comfortable. The absence of air conditioning not causing a problem. The pool wonderfully refreshing. The table tennis below the house keeping the noise of the competitors away from the readers/sun bathers. The location of La Maison Moderne, walking distance for the sea, beaches and good restaurants. An easy drive for all the sights of the still incredibly hard to beat, Côte d'Azur. Half an hour from Nice Airport makes the travel to and from, easy too.
Cap d'Antibes architect renovated modern house with pool. Situated in the heart of the Cap d'Antibes on the Cote d'Azur between Juan les Pins and Antibes.
The house is located on the east (Antibes) side of the Cap and is five minutes walk to the sea. Nice airport is about 20 km away. We would recommend renting a car but one could do without. Nearby is an excellent deli, butcher and small supermarket . The centre of Antibes is about 25 mins walk down a path and along the sea. It's in a quiet neighbourhood so even in the height of summer its still generally quiet. At the end of the road is the path up to the church and lighthouse on the top of the Cap.
On the ground floor there is a large open plan living room with full length sliding glass doors onto terraces. The majority of the furniture is from B&B Italia. At the back of the open plan area is the kitchen and dining area. The Conran dining table seats eight while the kitchen has a fridge/freezer, range cooker with a five burner hob, dishwasher and double sink. There is also an integrated washing machine and tumble dryer as well as an extractor fan. The kitchen is fully equipped with saucepans, frying pans, serving dishes, plain plates and glasses and cutlery etc etc.
On the terraces there is a range of garden furniture providing flexibility including six sun lounges, four square wooden tables and ten chairs which can be arranged to seat six to ten people. People can eat either on the top terrace outside the living room or down by the pool. There are two Weber barbeques available.
Also on the ground floor behind a pocket door under the stairs is a study/4th bedroom which has a full size truckle bed and can therefore sleep one or two people comfortably. There is also a guest loo and basin. At the back of the house there is a secluded outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
The front of the garage accessed from the garden contains a ping pong table and a fridge for poolside drinks.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms with queen sized beds, two at the front of the house and one at the rear. All have floor to ceiling french doors with sliding shutters onto terraces, are painted white with parquet floors. There is also a separate loo with basin, a shower room with basin and a bathroom with loo and basin.
The 8m x 4m swimming pool is a mirror pool built with Cumbrian slate and is just over five feet deep throughout. It does have an alarm which is operated on surface tension although this can be turned off. The garden is planted with a mix of local and tropical plants, palms, yuccas, lavender and grasses.
The house is painted white throughout and all rooms have solid wooden floors. Overall, the feel is contemporary, light and informal. There is no telephone but wi-fi access is in the house and mobile phone reception is good.
We rent it fully furnished with full bedlinen (all 100% cotton and white) plus beach towels and bath towels. The pool is maintained weekly and there is also a weekly gardener.
We have a French speaking cleaning team as well as an English speaking management team who live five minutes from the house.
The house is fully fenced and has an electronic side gate and or an electronic sliding gate into the drive and garden. There is also a burglar alarm.
We don't accept any pets (wooden floors and a cared for garden) and don't allow big parties (we have lovely neighbours)!
Note the staircase does not have a hand rail and the pool is alarmed but not fenced while there are quite a lot of hard surfaces....bottom line its not really suitable for small children. That said, people have stayed with slightly larger children and had a fabulous time.
Within close reach are Nice, Cannes, St Paul de Vence and only slightly further afield St Tropez. The covered market in Antibes provides a wonderful farmers market six days a week while there is a bakery, butcher, supermarket and delicatessen within five minutes drive from the house.

It's not your imagination: Ph? joints really have been replicating like rabbits in the spring. A decade or so ago, ph? had yet to take up residence in our collective culinary consciousness. Now, by some accounts, there are more than 50 ph? restaurants in San Diego, and The New York Times recognized our city as one of the "national hot spots of Viet cuisine" and a place to get "mind-numbingly good pho."
But, somehow, somewhere along the way, ph? overshot the runway. Perhaps more than any other dish or cuisine, we've come to see ph? as nearly synonymous with Vietnamese food. Few Americans could name another Vietnamese dish. It's thus somewhat odd—if not downright courageous—that Nh? Ý Restaurant (4712 El Cajon Blvd., Suite A, in City Heights) doesn't even have ph? on its menu.
That's why instead of going to Nh? Ý for ph?, I went for its spicy central Vietnamese cousin, bún bò huê. Like ph?, bún bò huê is a beef-noodle soup with different cuts of beef (and, at Nh? Ý, cubes of blood cake and bits of pig's foot). But the vermicelli noodles are thicker and rounder than the ph? noodles, and the broth is infused with lemongrass. The flavor profile is balanced between sour, salty and sweet notes with a spicy element—rare in most Vietnamese cooking—that's characteristic of central Vietnamese cuisine. It's a heady and addictive brew.
Another good offering at Nh? Ý is bánh canh tôm cua, a thick Vietnamese udon-style noodle soup with a shrimp broth and featuring sweet crabmeat. Like bún bò huê, bánh canh tôm cua is finished with chile. For many Vietnamese, this is a nostalgic dish epitomizing comfort food. For me, it's the beguiling sweetness of the seafood that's the dish's leading pleasure.
The most common Vietnamese appetizer is g?i cu?n, spring—or, sometimes, summer—rolls. The most typical version in America includes shrimp, pork, lettuce, mint and noodles. Grilled meat rolls are a common option. The best version at NNh? Ý is bì cu?n with shredded pork meat and skin with the textural contrast of roasted rice powder. The dish is served with n??c ch?m (fish sauce, lime, garlic, sugar and chilies).
One of the more exotic dishes at Nh? Ý is bánh xèo, a fried, turmeric-laced rice-flour crepe filled with shrimp, fatty pork slivers, onions and bean sprouts. It's a dish that comes to the table looking like an omelet but is ever so much more fun. It's fried and crispy, and you eat it by picking it up in a piece of lettuce and dipping it in the n??c ch?m. That presses a sweet button, too. What's not to like?
It's probably too much to ask to expect bún bò hu? joints and bánh xèo houses to displace yesterday's fad tomorrow. We love our ph?, yes, but we still can't pronounce it. Still, who among us, a decade ago, could have predicted the explosion of ph? on our culinary scene? So, stranger things have already happened.

User test
User test question
- How is the first impression ?
- What do you think about the interaction/Animation ? ( need more instruction ?)
- What kind of function should i add to make it better ?
User test feedback
< First page >
– The first page is little bit confused ( Goal/ Setting ). Mostly users pressed Goal first before setting the goal.
-Instead of the word 'goal', what if it shows the goal itself like coffee or days.
-Use icons.
-Make a difference between Goal / Setting, like color or size or shape to recognize the right order to press.
<Setting page>
– For the setting, make some option for the units so users can choose it more easily.
– Plus icon – change it to "Change goal " or "Save goal" / change the position below to count option so users can guess easily what does that icon do.
– Make the user can set only one goal and show the box scene when I open the app, so users can play with immediately.
– Users can't change the goal before they achieve it so they will feel more responsible about it.
< Box scene >
– Add more interaction to play with. ( rotating the scene or other interaction that users can play with box )
– Make a space or function that user can pile up the box in their own way.
– Change a color in every 10 boxes, so user can see the process in visually.
– (When user counts up) Make a line on the top, so user can see how much they achieve and how much is left for their goal.
– When user achieve their goal, make a party scene.
– Add sad face icon for when user fails to count their goal. If they press it, all of the box will fall down or some of the boxes will be reduced or added as a penalty.

Howdy! I'm Lindsey Bailey.
I am currently teaching art back in the United States after teaching overseas for 4 years (Singapore for 3 years and Qatar for 1 year). Beyond my own studio work, I teach art at Brookwood School and facilitate community projects around the world.
In 2008, I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art. In 2010, I graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) with a Master of Arts in Community Arts. And in 2016 I graduated with my second masters degree, a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art, also from MICA.
Download my CV here or read more about my projects on my portfolio page.
I don't just make art, I make friends.
I believe that art has the power to connect people across all boundaries. People, places, and things inspire me. I busily overload my iPhone with pictures while forging new friendships in my travels.
I lived with an elephant for 3 days and tangled with tigers in Thailand. I love India so much that I even studied Bhangra and Rajasthani Folk Dance at the Delhi Dance Academy. I learned the hard way to always travel with cash and not cards ever since being stranded penniless in Hanoi, prior to being stuck on a train for 37 hours traveling to central Vietnam during a monsoon. My favorite city in the world is New York because it never sleeps and has an insatiable energy!
I also chronicle my life on a blog.
Sometimes I talk about my students and their artwork. Other times I share kick-ass projects that other people are doing. But mostly it's a lot of pictures, travel diaries, and awesome people having fun.

Raytheon and CrescoAg Join Forces to Develop Next Generation of Precision Ag Tools
CrescoAg Corporation and Raytheon Company will work together to develop a new generation of agricultural technologies and analytics to help agricultural producers increase productivity and manage their operations more efficiently.
The CrescoAg-Raytheon collaboration will pair Raytheon's capabilities in engineering, climatic science, analytics, sensor technology and systems integration with CrescoAg's agricultural domain knowledge, farming expertise and relationships with ag retailers and advisors. Utilizing mobile and advanced cloud computing, the CrescoAg-Raytheon collaboration will deliver information products and technologies to help agronomic advisors support growers in their efforts to increase efficiency, productivity, profitability and crop sustainability.
"Raytheon has made major R&D investments in analytics, climate science and Big Data computing for our customers in the defense and intelligence communities that also have applications in farming and the agriculture community," said Bill Jones, vice president for systems modernization and sustainment at Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services.
"For example," he added, "historical trends combined with real-time local weather will be available on smart devices, allowing farmers to make cropping, planting and harvesting decisions and, at the same time, inform decisions on which investments to make in other equipment such as irrigation and drainage technologies."
"We are thrilled to partner with Raytheon scientists and engineers to develop what we believe will be the most advanced precision agriculture and analytical tools the industry has seen," said Barry Knight, president of CrescoAg. "U.S. farmers are already adopting precision ag technologies at a record pace. This collaboration will provide them and their advisors new ways to combine farmers' crop production activities with innovative climatic, remote sensing and analytical technologies."
Knight notes that CrescoAg is already collaborating with Raytheon on product concepts that will be tested during the 2014 growing season, with a goal of offering step-change improvements in how producers and their agronomic advisors examine the contribution of seed, tillage practices and other agricultural inputs to their operations.

Do I Need to Retake the SAT or ACT?
If you took the ACT or SAT already and are relieved to be done with it, don't put down that No. 2 pencil just yet!
Most of us won't magically get perfect scores on the third (or fourth, or fifth) try. But people who test again generally do a little better the second time around. ACT data shows almost 60 percent of students improved their score after retaking it, and more than 55 percent of students who took the SAT as juniors improved their scores by signing up again later.
So, should you retake the test? Here's what you should think about
Are You A Nervous Tester?
Test nerves strike everyone at some point. If those butterflies in your stomach got the best of you the first time around, try taking the test again. You have experience now, meaning you may be more comfortable and at ease than you were last year.
Did Life Throw You A Curveball?
Were you sick on test day? Had a family member passed away the day before? Did you get into a fight with your BFF that morning? Unfortunately, it's all too common to have something distracting pop up just as test day arrives. These things make it hard to focus and can hurt your score.
Work your memory to see if anything kept you from testing well that day. Did a jittery tummy keep you from eating breakfast, but you were starving during the test? Maybe you had trouble with comprehension because you were too nervous to sleep the night before. Try testing again – just make sure you don't get into the same situation next time!
Did You Study? No, Really.
Do you feel like the only one who didn't do any ACT or SAT prep? Feeling ready can do wonders for your score. Sign up for another test and make sure you get a practice book or review any concepts you struggled with last time. Remember, cramming doesn't work, so start studying early on. Our top study tips can help!
Do You Want Merit Scholarships?
Higher scores = more scholarship opportunities. Need money for school? Study hard and retake the test.
What Score Do You Need?
What's your dream school? Compare your test score to their average incoming freshman's result (you can use our college acceptance calculator to do that!). If these numbers don't match up, it's time to sign up for a retake. And just in case you don't push that score as high as you'd like it, add a few more schools to your list. You can always reach for your favorite colleges, but it doesn't hurt to have a few safeties in mind, too.
Good luck!

Winchester1300 Defender shotgun, current production (2007) version.
Image © Winchester
Type: Pump action shotgun
Gauge: 12; Chamber 76mm / 3"
Weight: 3.06 kg / 6.7 lbs to 3.18 kg / 7 lbs
Length:1003mm / 39.5" to 1245 mm / 49"
Barrel length:457 mm / 18" to 711 mm / 28"
Capacity: 4,5or 7 rounds
The Winchester 1300 shotgun was first introduced in around 1981, when the US Repeating Arms Company (USRAC) took over production of the 'Winchester' brand guns from the Olin / Winchester corporation. In fact, the model 1300 was a slightly modified version of the previous Winchester model 1200 shotgun, which was manufactured by Olin /Winchester between 1964 and 1980. With recent (mid-2007) closure of the USRAC factory production of the Winchester model 1300 shotguns, along with other Winchester brand guns, was moved to Winchester Repeating Arms Co; new guns will be manufactured by one of the FN ManufacturingCo subsidaries located in the Morgan, Utah.
The Winchester1300 shotguns are also known as the 'Speed pump', because of the very fast-cycling pump action, which makes these guns popular among both hunters and sport shooters. These shotguns also work well for home defense and security applications, especially with availability of relatively short-barreled models with long magazines.
The Winchester 1300 shotgun utilizes so called pump action, which is operated by sliding for end. For end is connected with bolt group with dual action bars. Receiver is produced from lightweight aluminum alloy, and the bolt locks into the barrel extension using a rotary bolt head with four radial locking lugs. Feed is from tubular under barrel magazines, which can be had in a variety of lengths / capacities. Barrels are quick-detachable; in 'Defender' configurations barrels have fixed cylinder choke; in hunting configurations barrels are usually fitted with replaceable chokes and a sighting rib. Standard furniture comes in wood or plastic varieties, finish and sights may vary from version to version.

In a column that we'll publish Sunday, state Sen. John DeFrancisco will offer the reasoning behind a decision that won't surprise many Central New Yorkers:
Despite requests from local Republicans, DeFrancisco isn't running for mayor of Syracuse.
DeFranciso, however, is willing to speak in the column with some passion, even ferocity, about the advice he would give to anyone else who might want to challenge incumbent Mayor Stephanie Miner, a Democrat. What the column doesn't get into is an even larger promise made Thursday by DeFrancisco, now 66:
He said, point-blank, he will never run for mayor.
That's saying something, because - for almost 25 years - his name has gotten thrown around as a potential candidate every time there's a mayoral election in Syracuse. I found a 1989 Post-Standard profile by Bill LaRue, in which DeFrancisco, then a Common Councilor, said he wasn't interested - although he specifically refused to rule out an eventual campaign.
The closest he ever came to seeking the position was undoubtedly in 2001, when DeFrancisco spoke of a "malaise" in Syracuse, when incumbent Republican Mayor Roy Bernardi was about to leave for a job in the administration of newly elected President George W. Bush, when Gov. George Pataki urged DeFrancisco to make the race for mayor. Even DeFrancisco's Senate staff wasn't sure if he was in or out.
The consensus was that DeFrancisco - at that moment - would be difficult to beat. But in a pained interview 12 years ago in which he aired out his internal debate, DeFrancisco gave his rationale for deciding not to run - Mayor Matt Driscoll would eventually be elected - and described, basically, the same reasons that caused him to decide against running for mayor now:
Even in 2001, he saw it as counterproductive to forfeit the Central New York influence he'd established in Albany.
If there is a difference between now and then, DeFrancisco is far more pleased with today's overall tenor of civic leadership in Central New York. Maybe that explains why he is willing to make a guarantee that he would not make in 1989, or 2001:
Wherever life takes John DeFrancisco, it won't be into the top job at Syracuse City Hall.
