|Brooklyn Bridge Entrance Ramp - former site of the World Building and the Tribune BuildingLocated on Park Row – where the access ramps to the Brooklyn Bridge are now located – the New York World Building, the Tribune Building, and the extant New York Times Building formed a triumvirate of high-rise headquarters for major news organizations. These prime sites on Park Row, across from City Hall, placed these organizations at the center of political New York. One of the first high-rise elevator buildings was Richard Morris Hunt's 1874 Tribune Building, a brick and masonry structure topped by a distinctive clock-tower and spire. Its height was increased several stories in later additions. Completed in 1890, the World Building, (also known as the Pulitzer Building) was commissioned by editor Joseph Pulitzer as a headquarters for his paper the New York World. Designed by the prolific skyscraper architect George B. Post, it was the first building in New York to surpass in height the 284-foot spire of Trinity Church. The number of stories is disputed: estimates range from the 26 stories claimed by the World to the 16 or 18 suggested by recent scholars. The World and Tribune buildings were demolished in 1955 for the expanded automobile entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge.
|Described at
the time as "the highest building on Manhattan Island," but the spire was
shorter than that on Trinity Church (285 feet). While metal columns and
beams supported interior floors, the exterior walls were masonry.
Downtown was the world's media capital
By Stephen Wolf
Sometimes I forget that New York began Downtown, that once there was no Upper East Side or Upper West Side but only the East Side and West Side, that a thriving metropolis of 125,000 people was pressed below Canal St. while to the north lay forests and meadows, stream, swamps, and country homes for the wealthy. The towers of the Brooklyn Bridge appear old enough to have been built by the slaves of a pharaoh, but I forget sometimes that people once lived and worked where the ramps to the bridge are now, that those ramps replaced what once was the tallest building in the world, the New York World Building, completed in 1890 and from where the World was published. Under the ownership of Joseph Pulitzer, it was one of the most important papers in the city.
Nearby, near Franklin Square —renamed from St. George's Square in 1817 to honor Ben Franklin whose headstone said simply "Printer" — stood the House of Harper's that published Harper's Weekly and Harper's Magazine. It makes me think community papers like this one follow a tradition in New York journalism nearly as old as the city itself.
Newspapers were published Downtown long before the Revolution, before New York was an American city. In 1725, William Bradford (of Plymouth Plantation) published the New York Gazette at 81 Pearl St. He is buried in Trinity Cemetery. Not far away on Broad St., between Water and Front, the New York Journal, with John Holt as editor, was a strong voice for these colonies' independence. At 53 Liberty St., the Evening Post was published for thirty years, and Samuel Loundon's American Magazine had its offices at 2 Broad St. Around the corner, at 113 William St., the author of the first truly American literature was born in 1783. It was Washington Irving who wrote the "Knickerbocker Tales," the first history (however fictional) of New York, a place he called "Gotham," and when Rip Van Winkle woke from his long nap he found more than his beard grown long and his flintlock rusted; he found that he lived in a new, free country where Irving published his first articles in the Morning Chronicle at Pine St. off Pearl.
Herman Melville was born at 6 Pearl St. in 1819, and though Ishmael shipped on the Pequod out of Nantucket, the imagination of the author of the greatest American novel of the 19th century was first drawn to the sea where elegant, mighty ships sailed through the distant Narrows toward Battery Park. Back then, the Morning Post, run by Horace Greeley, was the first low-priced daily in town. There was a time when, along Park Row where it joins Centre St. (still spelled the English way since the city was theirs when that street was laid) it was an area known as "Newspaper Row."
From 1840 until the beginning of the next century, nineteen different newspapers were published along those few blocks when the city's population was merely a sixth of what it is now.
And just a block from there is Nassau St., the most important street in the history of New York journalism. The Mirror appeared at 107 Nassau in 1823, and it had a long, successful career even after one of its editors, Nathaniel Wills, moved a few doors down to 118 Nassau where, with Henry Jarvis Raymond, he founded the New York Times. The Ledger, once at Spruce and Williams, moved next door to 119 Nassau. The New Yorker was first published at 127 Nassau, and at 142 Nassau the human rights activist Lydia Maria Child published her influential anti-slavery articles from 1841 until 1849 when the neighborhood was known, appropriately, as "Printing House Row."
Around the corner at William St., William Randolph Hearst published New York America and the New York Evening Journal. The Morning Advertiser, the Mail and Express, and The Recorder all appeared in the area, while the nearby Globe and Commercial Advertiser had been publishing as early as 1797. The Sun Building — still standing on Chambers St. – published the Sun, though not the present paper with the same name and logo. It became the first penny paper in town, published at 177 Nassau in 1868 and for the next fifty years, and when editor Benjamin H. Day sent out boys to sell the Sun to whomever would buy it, the newsboy was born.
The beautiful Tribune Building stood nearby, home to the Tribune, one of the most important papers in the city and the first publishers of journalists like Carl Schurz, William Dean Howells, Henry James, and Margaret Fuller. But the Tribune tower was torn down in 1975, and like the old Penn Station, we lost a treasure.
The New World Building, once known as the "World Tower," was demolished in the early 1950s to make way for new approaches to the Brooklyn Bridge. Where "Newspaper Row" once thrived is now the campus of Pace University, and though the present always replaces the past and too often we forget what came before, one building remains as a testament and monument to New York's great newspaper history.
In 1801, Alexander Hamilton published the Evening Post, later edited by William Cullen Bryant from where he made the first cries for park space amid the visionary, merciless plan for Manhattan's grid. Eventually, his editorials led to Central Park. After that, the Post moved to the recently completed Garrison Building at 20 Vesey St. in 1907, and though the paper published there only for another twenty years, the building still incarnates New York's journalistic past. The spandrels of this building display well-known printers of the 16th and 17th centuries, and statues on the ninth floor preserve "The Four Periods of Publicity": the Spoken Word, the Written Word, the Printed Word, and the Newspaper. The building may not stand forever, but the tradition of New York journalism lives in the small papers still thriving in what was once the true center of our city.
Horace Greeley founded the New York Tribune
in 1841. Greeley took a strong moral tone in his newspaper and
campaigned against alcohol, tobacco, gambling, prostitution and capital
punishment. However, his main concern was the abolition of slavery and
the introduction of universal suffrage.

Stock futures dropped more than 1 percent on Friday after a Republican proposal for averting the "fiscal cliff" failed to pass, dissipating hopes that a deal would be reached soon in Washington.
Trading is expected to be volatile as investors view a fiscal agreement between the White House and Republicans before the year-end as increasingly unlikely. With trading thin ahead of the holidays, market swings will probably be amplified. CBOE VIX front-month futures, a measure of volatility, rose 5.7 percent.
Continue Reading Below
Late on Thursday, Republican House Speaker John Boehner conceded there were insufficient votes from his party to pass a tax bill, dubbed "Plan B," to help avert the cliff, tax hikes and spending cuts due to start in January that could tip the economy into recession.
Boehner said he would hold a press conference at 10:00 a.m. ET (1500 GMT), during which he is expected to discuss the vote.
Plan B had called for tax increases on those who earn $1 million a more a year, a far smaller slice of taxpayers than President Barack Obama had asked for.
The bill's failure suggested it would be difficult to get Republican support for the more expansive tax increases Obama has urged, making it less likely an agreement will be reached before the end of the year.
"We had been moving in the right direction, but now we need a different deal, and if this radical group of Republicans is so intransigent that they won't do any deal, it will be very difficult," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at John Thomas Financial in New York.
Investors had previously considered such an outcome unlikely. The decline implied by futures on Friday would wipe out most of the week's equity gains, which buoyed the S&P 500 close to two-month highs.
Banking and energy shares, which outperform in times of economic expansion and have led the market on signs of progress with the fiscal impasse, could be the most vulnerable to any setback. February crude futures dropped 1.3 percent in early trading on Friday.
S&P 500 futures sank 20.9 points, or 1.5 percent, and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures lost 184 points and Nasdaq 100 futures slid 43.25 points.
The S&P 500 is up about 1.8 percent this week, boosted by signs of progress in the fiscal negotiations between Obama and Boehner earlier in the week.
So far in 2012, the index has gained 14.8 percent, though uncertainty over the cliff may prompt many traders to lock in gains as the year draws to a close.
Orders for durable goods rose 0.7 percent in November, more than expected, while personal income and spending were also higher than forecast.
However, mirroring trading on Thursday, when strong economic growth and home sales figures failed to excite investors who were focused on the budget negotiations, futures didn't react to the data.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's final December consumer sentiment survey is due at 9:55 a.m., and is expected to come in at 74.7, compared with a prior reading of 74.5.
Nike Inc rose 3.5 percent to $102.50 in premarket trading after reporting second-quarter earnings that handily beat expectations Thursday on strong demand in North America. Software distributor Red Hat Inc posted third-quarter revenue that beat expectations.
U.S.-listed shares of Research in Motion slumped 14 percent to $12.20 in premarket trading. The company reported its first-ever decline in its subscriber numbers Thursday and outlined plans to transform the way it charges for its BlackBerry services.

Srinagar, Sep 12: In view of ongoing crisis in Kashmir, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today in a meeting of executive members at Srinagar decided that doctors will remain on duty during Eid-ul-Zuha.
Amid the unrelenting influx of injured in Kashmir hospitals President DAK Dr Nisar ul Hassan in the meeting said that doctors will not avail Eid holidays and will remain available in hospitals for sick and wounded.
At a time when injured are multiplying each passing day, we have decided to be in hospitals on Eid.
The decision was taken so that medical services are not hampered at a time when they are needed most.
Doctors are requested to be in hospitals during Eid so that there is no disruption of health care in this hour of crisis.
And, hospital authorities are asked to keep transport available so that doctors can reach their duties.
The victims of unrest need us and need us badly this time.
They have hope in us and in no case we will let them down.
Thousands of persons have been injured during the current unrest and many of them are admitted in various hospitals and some of them are battling for life.
Doctors have been on toes and have been working tirelessly right from day one of unrest.
Apart from giving treatment to physical wounds, they have been consoling the traumatized patients and their relatives.
They have been risking their own lives to save lives.
We have no reason to celebrate Eid when whole Kashmir is mourning.
How can we celebrate Eid when people are in pain of grief due to the death of their loved ones?

The brutal attack on Occupy Oakland on Jan. 28 by the Oakland Police Department is part of a nationally coordinated attack against the Occupy movement, which includes the Feb. 4 eviction of Occupy DC from McPherson Square in the U.S. capital by riot-clad cops. The OPD is under threat of federal receivership, possibly as soon as March, due to reports by an independent monitor which highly criticized the OPD for its handling of previous Occupy Oakland protests.
The Jan. 28 march was an attempt to take over an abandoned public building and convert it into a community center, a place to feed and shelter the homeless, and an operations center for general assemblies and other meetings and activities. Occupy Oakland has faced increasing police harassment at Oscar Grant Plaza, where it continues a 24/7 vigil ever since the last encampment was broken up.
According to the National Lawyers Guild, at least 284 people were arrested Jan. 28, with many reports of assaults on protesters by the OPD. This included one person who had their teeth knocked out from a strike to the face by a police baton, others thrown through a glass door and down a flight of stairs, and the clubbing of a videographer by the OPD. Once in Alameda County Sheriff's custody, the brutality continued.
Significantly, Occupy Oakland has been intensively engaged in building solidarity with workers' struggles, demands and issues. It inspired activists around the U.S. with the Nov. 2 general strike and port shutdown, organized in just one week, after the Oct. 25 vicious police raid on their camp.
In addition to shutting down downtown Oakland and focusing on the banks, which have destroyed the economy and stolen peoples' homes, Occupy Oakland, with the support of the ranks of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10, shut down Oakland's ports. They raised demands to support ILWU Local 21 in Longview, Wash., which was engaged in a militant struggle against international grain cartel EGT.
Then, Occupy Oakland led other Occupy groups in organizing an entire West Coast port shutdown on Dec. 12, with the major demands being support for the ILWU Local 21 struggle in Longview and support for port truckers in Los Angeles fighting to get union recognition. Occupy Oakland was exemplary for its fightback response to the nationally coordinated attacks against the Occupy movement. Ports were shut down in Oakland; Portland, Ore.; Seattle; and Longview, Wash., with port slowdowns and solidarity actions in other cities.
Occupy Oakland then took on a campaign to organize a caravan to Longview to blockade the loading of scab grain onto a ship in response to a call by Occupy Longview and the Cowlitz-Wahkiakum County [Wash.] Central Labor Council. Support was organized up and down the coast and EGT was forced back to the bargaining table under threat of thousands of protesters descending on the small town.
The government wants to discredit these organizers and keep them from being able to continue building solidarity between the community and labor. "Stay away" injunctions have been issued to at least 12 of the Jan. 28 arrestees, who are not allowed to go near Oscar Grant Plaza. Felony burglary charges were leveled against at least 50 people who ran into the open YMCA to get away from the police. The district attorney is not pursuing these charges now, but has threatened to renew the charge for anyone arrested again in the next year.
The Oakland City Council is pursuing a resolution on Feb. 7 to basically use any "legal" means at their disposal to prevent any future shutdowns at the port of Oakland. The resolution was originally raised as an emergency resolution after the Dec. 12 port shutdown. Occupiers filled the council chambers in protest. The resolution was denied emergency status, but now will be voted on.
California Gov. Jerry Brown has offered up the National Guard to aid the OPD in the event of another port shutdown attempt. Meanwhile, hundreds of port truckers have walked off the job in Seattle, in protest of inhumane and unsafe conditions, effectively shutting the port of Seattle for days.
At the same time that the city of Oakland has spent millions of dollars repressing Occupy Oakland, they are planning major layoffs of city workers and related service cutbacks to the community. When the council planned a vote in January on the proposed layoffs, 100 Occupiers marched right into the council chambers in support of the Service Employees union, disrupting the meeting with chants against the layoffs and demanding that payments to the banks be withheld instead.
Despite the repression, Occupy Oakland plans to support a march on Feb. 17 by immigrant workers, 200 of whom were fired by Pacific Steel in Berkeley, Calif., after a "soft" raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

1995 Toyota Corolla Wagon DX 4dr Wagon
This car is great. I bought it used with 75,000 on it and it now has 175,000. The light in the ashtray no longer works... that is it. Had the cap & rotor replaced recently and the mechanic said "your car is like a way back machine. Everything is original!" If it ain't broke...
reliability, 32 mph every tank, frequently with bikes on the roof
bring a reasonable looking corolla wagon back
I love this car. I could afford a new car, but I will drive this til it dies. Great gas mileage 25-30. Hauls lots of stuff but is small enough for parking in tight spaces.
Size, mileage.
Make more. bring this back. I'd buy a 2006 on a second.
July 4, 2005, was my tenth anniversary with this car. I will keep it until it falls to pieces. It has good fuel economy, fits in tight parking spaces, and holds a ton of stuff when the rear seat is folded down. It's also peppy on the highway. I have had no major repairs in 72,000 miles. Unfortunately Toyota stopped making Corolla station wagons in 1996, so I can't get another one. I'd buy another in a minute.
Room to haul a lot of stuff with seat folded down. Handles easily. Turns on a dime. Good fuel economy. Very well-built. Low maintenance and repair costs. Very reliable.
Ride a bit stiff. Seats could be more comfortable. No leg room in back seat. Toyota should bring the Corolla station wagon back.
Probably the world's best auto design,
for quality and reliability and
economics. Toyota should be
congradulated for making a sound
investment in engineering and
size, economics, reliability, comfort,
make it available once again

American Rose
A Nation Laid Bare: The Life & Times of Gypsy Rose Lee
Random House 2012
New Books in American StudiesNew Books in BiographyNew Books in HistoryNew Books in Peoples & PlacesNew Books in Politics & SocietyNew Books Network April 2, 2012 Oline Eaton
As a whole, the genre of biography trends towards linear narratives–wherein the events of a subject's life are tracked in the order that they occurred. This makes sense, as it's how we live our lives, but there are advantages that come with non-linear structure. In the case of Karen Abbott's American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life & Times of Gypsy Rose Lee (Random House, 2012), the benefit is that the book reads like a slick, sexy film noir and it is virtually impossible to put down.
The life of Gypsy Rose Lee- "this Dorothy Parker in a G-string", famous for her "burlesque of burlesque"- is perhaps best likened to a Greek drama. The relationship between Gypsy, her controlling mother and the younger sister who stole her name offers enough material for a whole master's thesis on Freud, and that's just one of the many tangled relationship dynamics here worthy of analysis. And yet, Abbott exercises masterful control over her colorful cast of characters, all while guiding three separate narrative strands.
We enter the narrative at three distinct points and flip between them throughout: Gypsy, post-1939; Gypsy, pre-1939; and the Minsky Brothers burlesque clubs in the 1920s. If you're not a biographile, the transitions might even slip by unnoticed, incrementally heightening the drama with each page until, at the book's crescendo, you find you're almost winded. American Rose is an ambitious story told in an ambitious style and, much like modern art, it looks effortless because it is impeccably well done.

And so it's come to this.
I mean, er...we are honored and pleased to have guest bartender Lillibet from the Professor Dave's Ark in Space podcast with us this evening as we explore the Ninth Doctor in "The Long Game."
Frankly, this show was a long time coming, as it was recorded almost three weeks ago and we've recorded Episode 23 since then (timey-wimey), and our memories of this recording are not all that fresh. So fill this space with your comments regarding Christopher Eccleston, Simon Pegg, or maybe even something appropriate regarding this being the first member of the fairer sex along for the ride. (We promised to be really, really polite or else we knew we'd end up with Professor's Dave boot up our ass.)
Hate us? Or want to make passionate love to us? Send us some email at firstname.lastname@example.com, join our Facebook page (we're tied with Professor Dave's page, let's beat 'em), or follow Sean on Twitter @tardistavern or Steve @SteveTARDIStvrn (no A or E in Tavern).

Having just gotten over our hangovers from the Fourth of July, we are craving a little bit of holiday cheer, so we set our sights on The Chimes of Midnight, a Big Finish audio story featuring the Eighth Doctor, making it the eighth in our "Eleven Doctors" series.
There's talk of plum pudding, worthless scullery maids, Edward Grove, and merry murder. Oh, and a dollop of feedback as well from a couple of our usual listeners, including the usual editorial corrections. (Thanks, Erik!)
Spoliers abound, faithful listeners, so if you have plans to ever listen to "The Chimes of Midnight," then fuck that and just listen to us instead.
Keep your ears peeled for next time when we talk about the Ninth Doctor in "The Long Game" with yet another guest bartender. We're keeping the guest's identity secret for the time being, but let's just say it's someone of the fairer sex from another podcast.
If you send us feedback, we'll send you some pictures of kitties. So stop what you're doing right now (unless you're driving, then put down the iPhone and keep your eyes on the road), and email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow Sean on Twitter at @tardistvern or Steve at @stevetardistvrn (no A or E in tavern). Plus be a part of our Facebook page, where we regularly serve free pie and punch.

Aside from the standard review, we read and respond to feedback - some favorable and some not so favorable - and give a shout out to a couple other podcasts that you may not have heard about.

The ellipses of due diligence riddling the official account of the 9/11 incidents continue being ignored by scholars of policy and public administration. This article introduces intellectual context for examining the policy heuristic "State Crimes Against Democracy" (SCAD) (deHaven-Smith, 2006) and its usefulness for better understanding patterns of state criminality of which no extant policy analytic model gives adequate account.This article then introduces papers included in this symposium examining the chimerical presence and perfidious legacy of state criminality against democracy.

If you are looking for a good weekend getaway, Cayo Costa State Park, just across the pass from Boca Grande, has nine miles of beautiful beach just waiting to be explored.
This barrier island hasn't changed much since the Spanish explorers first sailed by its shores nearly 500 years ago. This island is heavily wooded — pine, oak and palm — and accessible only by private boat or ferry.
With more than 2,000 acres of wilderness to explore, spend the day or stay in the night in a rustic cabin or your own tent. The sunsets are fabulous. Bring your snorkel gear and fishing rod for the beach and your hiking boots and mountain bike for the trails that crisscross the island.
Captiva Cruises offers ferry service to the park from locations in Punta Gorda, Pine Island, Fort Myers, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island. Reservations are recommended. (239) 472-5100. Cayocostaferry.com.

Verses by topic
Verses on Service
Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Isaiah 58:10 ESV / 28 helpful votes
If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. By their approval of this service, they will glorify God because of your submission flowing from your confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others,
Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching;
Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

How to have a successful Memorial Day party
If you're thinking of having a party this Memorial Day, find out everything you need to know to make it a successful one! Ditch the stresses of party planning with this easy how-to guide.
Step 1: Set the guest list
Decide who you want to invite and how you want to invite them. Depending on how many people you want to invite, a simple mass text might do the trick. If you're planning a bigger bash, then a Facebook invite or Evite is always ideal.
Step 2: Decide on a food theme
Because it's a Memorial Day party, you'll probably want to go with BBQ food like hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, etc. If you want to switch up the expected food list, you can make it Italian-themed with pasta, bruschetta and cannoli. Or you can try a Mexican or even Mediterranean theme. Surprise your guests!
Step 3: Pick your poison
This could be tricky, depending on whether you and your guests have different drink tastes. Beer and wine are subtle choices that are good general picks and ensure your party guests shouldn't get too rowdy. If you're looking for some heavier fun, then vodka and/or tequila are perfect for making mixed drinks such as screwdrivers, martinis and margaritas. Add a few mixers, juice and water for the guests who don't want alcoholic beverages.
Step 4: Choose the decorations
You don't need to go overboard, but a few patriotic wall decorations, hanging flags and balloons are ideal. Sprinkle them around the area your guests will be lingering.
Step 5: Make a playlist
You want your guests to feel comfortable, so pick a playlist that will be relaxing for your guests. If you want a more energetic feel, add some upbeat tunes and watch the fun happen. If you have an iPod dock that plays music, set it up somewhere that's easily audible but won't get stepped on or broken. A classic CD player/boombox will always do the trick, as well.
Step 6: The setup
Set up the food and drinks an hour to a half-hour prior to your guests' arrival. If you can get a friend to help you set up before the party, that will make it even easier on you. Put up the decorations at least an hour before the party, in case you realize you need more or want to set them up differently. Start the playlist 10 minutes before your guests arrive -- make sure to start with a mellow tune and ease into more upbeat songs.
Step 7: Enjoy
As your guests show up, let yourself relax and have fun with them. Before you know it, you'll be having a blast at your very own Memorial Day party.

Clark Tiger Moth
Quarter scale Clark industries Tiger Moth built by John Green on its maiden flight, powered by a Quadra 35 cc gas engine.
"Great flier John, thanks for a great kit, it was fun to build."
John Green
Clark MK IX Spitfire
Hello there John,
A modeller friend called round tonight for a chat. He's building a one fifth T-28 Trojan and couldn't find large enough retracts, so I suggested we look on your website, which was when I discovered you have delivered your last Spitfire.
This is sad news for those modellers who didn't have the opportunity to purchase one of your exquisite kit sets when they were available but I'd like you to know that my Mark IX is still alive and very airworthy after many years. So thank you for the pleasure you've given so many of us over many years, both in the building as well as the flying, and I sincerely hope your retirement is a happy and long one!
There's only one thing better than a Clark Spitfire and that's a full size one. But just think of the cost!!!!
Sincerest best regards John Clark, you really are a legend.
Guy Clapshaw (New Zealand)
Clark Tiger Moth by Carl Cimprich
Hello John,
My name is Carl Cimprich. I have owned a Clark Tiger Moth for more years than I care to admit. I'm currently putting her through her third refit. I've come to your shop 3 different times to buy parts including replacement cowl, interior and even a new wing kit once. No one will ever part me from my Clark Moth.
All these years I've looked forward to a time when I could treat myself to my own Clark Spitfire. I just visited your website and read the news that it is no longer available. Although very disappointed that I will never have a Clark Spitfire in my retirement, I am well grateful I've had my Moth all these years along with the support available from you.
Please if someone has purchased your tooling and will be offering the spit can you tell me? Or… if that tooling is available for purchase? (probably dreaming here)
Thanks for the good times.
Carl Cimprich
Gypsy Moth
Good Day John,
You might recall me buying a Granby style propellor from you about 6 years ago for my Gipsy 1c powered Moth. It has been running well for me for about a year and a half flying so far. For your amusement I enclose a few short clips taken by my friends with phone cameras.

Dear Mr Clark,
I am so pleased with my Lancaster Rifle you made with the African Sepele wood. It fits me perfectly and is very accurate. I will enjoy many hours shooting this beautiful creation. Thank you for your efforts in also supplying the hunting bag, horns and patch knife, etc.
Charles Burnett
Lancaster Flintlock Rifle by Henri Laliberté
Dear John,
I would like to take a few moments to thank you for your help during that "winter project." It was a dream I had since 40 years to build a musket but I never thought I would have the chance to build so nice a model like that Lancaster and be able to have a mentor like you!!
It was not a beginner's project but with your generous help I was able to carry out my goal.
Again many many thanks,
Henri Laliberté
Dear John,
I just received the wonderful bullet starter and I am extremely proud to own a piece of art handmade by yourself.
Next week I will go back to the range and enjoy my Lancaster and thanks to you I will upgrade my muzzle loading efficiency.
I am very happy and thankful for everything you did to ensure my success.
Have a nice weekend,
Henri Laliberté
Tigermoth by Etienne Bekker of Dubai, UAE
Dear John,
It's been 9 months ….yes …..that is the time it takes to deliver!!
Finally, finished the lovely DH82A kit that you supplied. It's been a journey, yet a lovely final scale product of my full scale 1942 aircraft. I've included some pics of the model and finally the real machine!
Thought you may appreciate some pics from the before, during and after of the building process. Unfortunately some stages completely missed out, but enough to encourage the enthusiast in approaching a project like this. It was a great project, hard and long hours spent with a lot of enjoyment.
Greetings from Dubai, UAE.

into another world
(that was Kubrick's observation)
so come with me
my squiggly little brother
the journey is arduous
and fraught with peril
but would you rather languish here
and be just another jerkoff?
On the couch
feet propped up
head tilted back
The Outlaw Bible of Poetry
resting on my lap
Jazz zonked out
beside me
fan whirring away
in the corner
keeping us both "cool"
He likes to rest his head
on my yellow pad
sayin' screw your fleeting ideas
I got some serious sleepin' to do
so I begin jotting these words
on the back of an old envelope
that's the immediacy of poetry
and the sun hasn't even risen
Like the first time I went on Twitter
and it said "What are you doing"
and I thought the only purpose was
to literally say what you were doing
like "making breakfast" or
"farting into the wind"
but that got old fast
It doesn't pay to take things too much to heart
especially on a calender day set aside
for eating chocolates and getting laid
because it's all done by rote
and next week you may have no idea
where the hell she is
other than
as far as you know
some other world

text: As Tesla owners we can get green plates that let a single passenger vehicle use an HOV lane. It is clear to me that this definitely applies to the 400 series highways plus the QEW. But does this also apply to HOV lanes in the city like Eglinton Ave in Toronto? And it appears these of these advantages expire in mid 2015. Anyone know if this is likely to be extended? I expect to get my P85D in December and I am wondering whether it is worth bothering to get green plates.

Like most parents would likely admit, Cat Deeley just wants her son to be happy.
"I would like him to do anything he wants to do," the So You Think You Can Dance host, who recently revealed her 6-month-old son Milo's name via a beautiful nameplate necklace at the Teen Choice Awards, tells PEOPLE.
"I would like him to be happy, first and foremost," adds Deeley, 39, who is married to Irish comedian Patrick Kielty. "I would like him to be kind, I would like him to be funny and I would like him to be smart. And any of those things are fine by me.
"And if dance comes into that? 100 percent," the new mom continues, exclaiming jokingly, "Buy him some tights, goddamn it!"
Want all the latest pregnancy and birth announcements, plus celebrity mom blogs? Click here to get those and more in the PEOPLE Babies newsletter.
As a new mom, Deeley has learned it really does take a village to balance a career and parenting.
"I've got so much respect for all moms out there that do it. You have to juggle like crazy and have a team around you," she says. "And whether that's your family, Mom and Dad, nanny … whoever it is, you have this team. It takes a tribe — I can totally understand that now.
"Milo is 6 months old, so he's still really little, but I'm loving it," the British television personality adds with a smile. "It's really hard, but it's the best thing I've ever done too. So it's both."
Before Milo was born, Deeley admitted she wasn't planning on announcing she was pregnant until she began showing too much not to do so.
And at the Emmys in September, she told PEOPLE why she and her husband would be finding out the sex of their baby.
"Purely because it's such a lifestyle change," Deeley said at the time. "I'm 38, it's going to be a real change for us. [I] think it will be really nice to know if it's a little girl or a little boy and [call] it he or she rather than it."
"So You Think You Can Dance returns Monday, Aug. 22 on Fox."

To be or not to be? The idea behind same sex marriage— April 27, 2016
Rekha Pachauri: Marriages are an imperative part of the Indian society: Socially and psychologically. Socially because every single person wants to achieve a well thought-of social status and automatically it becomes the reason for psychological importance of marriage.
It is natural for us to congratulate and give our best wishes for the future when we come to know that someone is about to get married. But will we do the same or react in a similar fashion if the couple getting married is of the same sex? Most of us will definitely react negatively or at least we would be hesitant in passing our blessings to such a couple.
In a country like India where marriages are the legal and social license to have sex, the reservations about same sex marriages have to do more about two individuals indulging in a physical relationship with the person of the same gender than the idea of marriage itself. The idea of being homosexual offends majority of the people because of the long held notion of it being immoral and evil which is the result of the age-old dogmas to which the individuals still subscribe to.
Even in heterosexual marriages the topic of sex remains a taboo and as a society we don't acknowledge it. When such rigidity is displayed in the case of socially approved heterosexual marriages then such taboo marriages will hardly find any approval.
Another argument apart from homosexuality being unnatural is that of conceiving a child in the case of same-sex marriages. For the Indian society conception of a child is not about choice but it is a duty for the married couple to procreate so naturally same sex couples are incapable of it by themselves; even though surrogacy and child adoption can be used to overcome this hurdle.
Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, a remnant of the colonial era, states that sexual intercourse against the order of the nature is a punishable offence. Even though same-sex relationships have been found to be fairly common in the animal kingdom therefore it should be deemed natural and not unnatural because it goes against our societal or religious views.
During the 2000s in some parts of America and Europe the civil movement for legalizing the same sex marriage got significant recognition. Now around 23 countries in the world including the United States of America have legalized same sex marriages.
The self-proclaimed saints and the saviors of the Indian culture are another force who continuously try to derail the processes of social acceptance of same-sex couples. Baba-Ramdev called homosexuality a disease which he assures can be cured with the help of Yoga. The biggest irony here being that even though these the proponents of religion and culture yet they seem to be as ignorant about it as anybody else.
As per Hindu mythology, in Shiva Purana the union of Shiva and Mohini results in parturition of Hanumana. In another tale, Aravana the son of Arjun and Ulupi, the Naga princess, has to sacrifice himself in the battle of Kurukshetra for the victory of Pandavas but the only wish he had was that he didn't want to die unmarried. Shri Krishna then transubstantiates himself into Mohini for one day and even spends the night with Aravana as his wife and the next day even observes the customs of mourning which are expected of a widow when Aravana dies.
In the Southern Indian region, the Villagers perform the eighteen day epic kurukshetra and on the last day mourn the death of Aravana like his widows. Transgender form a bulk of these mourners. There are ample of tales and stories which give enough grounds to the fact that same sex marriages have been a part of the Hindu mythology. Similar disapproval can also be found among the religious leaders and the clerics of almost every religion. They do not agree on any single point in the name of religion but they all tend to agree against homosexuality calling it a malady that needs to be deracinated.
The big question remains that how can a mere orientation of affection towards a particular sex appear to be wrong in the eyes of the religion and the law? The constitution of India provides for one's personal liberty and freedom and ensures that no one is able to deprive an Indian citizen of this fundamental right. The state cannot discriminate anyone on the grounds of religion, sex, race, cast, color, creed or place of birth.
According to the data provided by the Ministry of Health to the Supreme Court in 2012, our population includes 2.5 million homosexuals. So as per the concept of fundamental rights, homosexuals also have an equal liberty lo live life as they want and with whomever they want. Few years back, Delhi High court decriminalized the section 377 that Supreme Court unturned. Now one of the most marginalized and abused section of our society is hoping to breathe free through gaining social acceptance and recognition. They are asking for nothing more, than to stop discriminating against them on the grounds of sexual orientation.
We definitely need to extend this recognition and acceptance after all the broader the perspective the better will be the growth of mental health of the nation.

Derek Lyng (Kilkenny) and Brian Dooher (Tyrone) have been honoured with the Opel Gaelic Player of the Month Awards for August in hurling and football respectively.
A worthy winner of the Opel Gaelic Player of the Month Award for hurling, Kilkenny midfielder Derek Lyng has been one of the stars of the 2008 hurling championship, leading his county to their 3rd All Ireland Hurling title in a row.
The Emeralds clubman has been in superb form for Kilkenny all season forming a formidable midfield partnership with James 'Cha' Fitzpatrick, while also playing a pivotal role in the Cats victory over Waterford in the All-Ireland Hurling final claiming a magnificent 3 points from play.
Commenting on Lyng's selection, chairman of the Opel gaelic players hurling selection committee, Donal O'Grady, was loud in his praise for the Kilkenny star: 'Derek Lyng has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the game and has come to embody the selfless work ethic that has become part of Kilkenny's no-nonsense style under Brian Cody.
'In the All-Ireland semi-final against Cork, he turned in a magnificent performance that broke the spirit of his immediate opponents.
'He seemed to come out on top in all the decisive battles for possession, drove forward with purpose and never shirked his defensive duties - a talisman with both strength and skill.'
Tyrone Football captain Brian Dooher has yet again had a tremendous season for Tyrone inspiring and leading them to their third All-Ireland final appearance in six seasons.
The Clann na nGael clubman has gone from strength to strength this season and is a very deserving winner of the Opel Gaelic Player of the Month Award for August.
Commenting on Dooher's selection, chairman of the Opel gaelic players football selection committee Jack O'Connor said: 'I often hear people describe Brian Dooher as a great old warhorse, but that does him an injustice.
The former Kerry boss said: 'For a start, he has too much all-round football skill to be lumbered with that label and in any case, his engine is so dynamic that he could probably outgallop your average warhorse.
'His man-of-the-match display against Dublin in the All-Ireland quarter-final smacked of real class. Apart from three delightful points from play, he again showed his natural leadership qualities by repeatedly looking for the ball and opening up the Dublin defence with his powerful, selfless runs.
'He was also to the fore in the semi-final victory over Wexford, once more underlining his importance to the Tyrone gameplan.'
Dessie Farrell, Chief Executive of the GPA, said: 'Kilkenny's performances this year have been astonishing.
'As well as their obvious natural talent and ability, their strength, fitness and work-rate have also been remarkable.
'Derek's performance against Cork reflected the attitude of Brian Cody's team perfectly – they work tirelessly for one another.
'Brian Dooher is similar to his hurling counterparts in Kilkenny.
'He works incredibly hard for Tyrone yet is able to deliver the final ball with no shortage of skill and precision, whether taking a score or making a pass.
'As always I know the lads will be quick to point out the contribution of their team-mates. Well done to all involved.'

Bill Bowman and Joe Turner drove 469 miles from Pensacola, Florida, but were the first to arrive on Friday, beating out several people who live in nearby Hendersonville, specifically Eddie Marlin, who in his younger days might have walked the 6-1/2 miles from his house.
Three people flew in: "Nature Boy" Roger Kirby (Grandview, MO), Duke Myers (Clackamas, OR), and Frankie Cain (Fort Walton Beach, FL).
Two others, Ronnie West and Bill Dundee, both of whom work for the Cole Bros. Circus, pulled a few strings and got time off to attend.
For the next three hours, a steady stream of people arrived: Buddy Wayne, Candi Divine, Charlie Smith, Colin West (and Roberta Roberts), Don and Sandy Wright, Jerry Barber, Jerry Jarrett, Jim Dalton, Joe and Michelle Cagle, Kathy Renesto (Branch), Len and Jeannie Rossi, Les Thatcher, Mac McMurray, Paul and Shirley Neighbours (Jr.), Paul and Wanda Neighbours (Sr.), Ronnie Garvin, Ronnie West, Phil and Sylvia (Hackney) Miller, Tim Renesto, Tom Renesto, Jr., Tommy Marlin, and Tony Falk.
That evening, everyone enjoyed barbeque sandwiches, along with side dishes and desserts prepared by Angela Teal. As expected, Charlie Smith was the first one standing in line with his plate in hand. (see photo below) After dinner, everyone sat around the fire pit. Well, almost everyone. Like two hungry dogs who are afraid someone will take away their food, Mac McMurray and Ronnie Garvin spent most of their time in the house wolfing down as many of the homemade white-chocolate-covered pretzels as they could.
Al and Jeannie Greene, Arvil and Lisa Hutto, Cora Combs, Debbie Combs, Dennis and Jean Hall, Frank and Ina Morrell, George Gulas, George Weingeroff (along with his two brothers Eric and Herbie), Gorgeous George Jr. (who would easily be voted in as "the person who changed the most," Larry Cheatham, Mike Porter, Tommy Heggie, and Tommy Weathers all arrived on Saturday.
Several "firsts" took place during the two days.
One, the "Wrestling Cousins" — Dennis Hall, Roger Kirby and Les Thatcher — were all together in one place for the first time since 1966 (see photos below).
Two, Frankie Cain donned an original Infernos mask to have his picture taken with Tommy "Dante" Heggie. When Frankie reached up to take off the mask, Scott Teal quickly snatched it off. That was the first time EVER that one of the Infernos has been unmasked.
Charlie Smith took two bumps on Saturday. Scott expects to hear from Charlie's attorney any day now.
Several awards and door prizes were given out on Saturday afternoon.
Buddy Wayne won a book titled "The History of Professional Wrestling: Chattanooga, Tennessee, 1950-1983" for being the person there who wrestled in Tennessee for the longest time (since 1952!).
Charlie Smith won a prize for being married the longest (55 years), beating Frank Morrell by a slim three years.
Joe Turner and Bill Bowman, who wrestled in Tennessee as Joe and Bill Sky (or Bill and Joe Sky, depending on which one you talk to), won a prize for arriving first on Friday, while Mac McMurray took the honors for getting to the house first on Saturday (probably because he thought Angela would be serving white-chocolate-covered pretzels for breakfast).
Duke Myers won a Shell gasoline card for coming the furthest.
At 82 years of age, Cora Combs was the oldest person there and was also the person who had been in the wrestling business for the longest time.
Two quizzes were given over the two days period. Jim Dalton, Joey Franks, Les Thatcher, Sylvia Hackney, Tom Renesto Jr., and Tony Falk all received perfect scores on the "Nickname" quiz. Tony Falk won the prize of 21 issues of "Whatever Happened to ...?" when his name was drawn in the tiebreaker.
The second quiz was to guess the names of more than 100 wrestlers on the reunion poster. Sylvia Hackney got the most correct with a score of 101 out of 108. She also received a set of the "Whatever Happened to ...?" magazines.
A picture on the poster of one particular masked wrestler stumped everyone but Jim Dalton and Joey Franks (and I'll never know how they figured it out). It was actually a trick question because the masked "wrestler" was Scott Teal, who had his picture taken by his mom after buying the mask from Karl and Hildegard when he was in high school. Jim and Joey ... you guys are amazing!
All in all, everyone had a great time visiting, rekindling old friendships, telling old war stories, and catching up on what took place AW (after wrestling).
Click HERE to read MAKING MEMORIES by Jerry Jarrett
I went to Scott Teal's reunion on Friday and Saturday and saw people I had worked with 20, 30 and 40 years ago. The memories that had been tucked in some deep corner of my mind came flooding back. Your mind plays funny tricks in situations like this. As I looked at the name tag of someone I didn't recognize, the name triggered a wonderful memory, and suddenly, 30 or 40 years were erased from the person standing in front of me. I was then talking to the person that had been buried in my mind all those years.
Joe and Bill Sky [Joe Turner and Bill Bowman] were at the party. Les Thatcher and Dennis Hall were there. Only Ken Lucas was missing from the wonderful memory I had of an earlier time. The memory was of late 1968. I was a young kid who was truly wet behind the ears. Roy Welch had put me into the position of booker. Les Thatcher, Dennis Hall and Ken Lucas were the top men in the Tennessee territory. They resented having to take orders from a kid who had not paid his dues in the wrestling business. As a result, they decided to leave the territory, something I didn't understand at the time due to the fact that I hadn't paid my dues. I went to Roy Welch and asked for his help. Roy declined to intervene and told me I needed to decide right then and there if this job was for me. I went to Joe and Bill Sky and asked if they would work with me. They agreed. The entire scene of the Memphis television studio on that Saturday morning is as fresh in my mind as if it were yesterday. Joe and Bill went to the ring to wrestle Tojo Yamamoto and Johnny Long and they had the absolute greatest match I had ever seen. After a really bad hardway with the blood flying, Joe and Bill pulled off their belts and, with every strike, raised huge welts on the backs and chest of Tojo and Johnny. The intensity of the match was such that the welts on Johnny's back began to bleed. Tojo and Johnny retreated to the dressing room and the Sky boys asked to finish the fight Monday night at the matches. Roy Welch signed the match. On Monday night, the building was packed. We had the biggest box-office gate we had in the previous seven or eight years. In all likelihood, if it had not been for Tojo, Johnny, Joe and Bill, my life would have not been the same. Tojo and Johnny are gone. I'm not sure I ever told them how much they meant to my life, but I'm grateful I got to see Joe and Bill Sky and have the opportunity to say "thank you." Les, Dennis, and Ken all came back to the territory and worked for me later and had great careers. I was able to tell all three of them that I understood their reasons for doing what they did and that I would have done the same thing had I been in their situation.
My longtime friend Al Greene was also at the reunion. I have so many great memories of Al, but none stand out like the interview he made one Saturday morning at TV when Al was booked against Jackie Fargo. During Al's interview with Lance Russell, he said Jackie came from a long line of cowards. He told Lance that not only was Jackie a coward, but his daddy was a coward before him. Lance admonished Al, saying Jackie's father was deceased and he shouldn't make disparaging remarks about him. Al said, "Oh, excuse me, Lance. I didn't know his daddy was dead. Now that I know, I should have said, 'Jackie Fargo is a coward and his old dead daddy was a coward too.'" The comment by Al stirred such emotion in Jackie that he broke down during the interview. Memphis sold out the next five Monday nights in a row with Jackie versus Al as the main event. When I looked at Al sitting in his wheelchair, I still saw him as the big bear of a man he had been 30 years previously.
Bill Dundee, my friend who had such a great run with me in the Tennessee territory, was at the reunion. Bill still works out and looks almost like he did years ago when I first worked with him and his Australian partner, George Barnes. Tony Falk was at the reunion and reminded me about how I talked him into becoming "Boy Tony" in the likeness of Boy George, who was hot at the time. Cora Combs and Debbie Combs were there. Cora is amazing and her mind is as sharp as ever. Memories of her tough style in the ring came flooding back as I talked to her. Unlike the rest of us, Debbie never seems to age. The lovely Sylvia Hackney was there and looks great. My cousins, Paul Neighbours and Paul Neighbours Jr. were there and we enjoyed great memories of being on the road together. Buddy Wayne was there with countless stories about our days promoting towns together. My father-in-law, Eddie Marlin, and his brother, Uncle Thomas, were there, and during the time we spent together talking about old times, we were all young men again. Saul Weingeroff's three sons, George, Eric and Herbie, were there. And then there was Len Rossi, who I not only wrestled with, but worked with in the office when we were booking with Nick Gulas. When I saw George Gulas, so many good memories of my times with his dad came back. Time and memories do really wonderful things to each other. Time erases any unpleasant memories and allows only the good memories to survive.
There were so many people at the reunion that were a part of my life. I was glad to see them all. The only regret I have is that I was too busy to know at the time that I was making such wonderful memories. I wish I had taken the time to tell the people at the time how much I appreciated them helping me make those great memories.

The California coast holds some of the most spectacular views and experiences of any coastline in the world.
This stretch of land and sea is one of the longest in the United States, and encompasses natural wonders like sand cliffs, as well as cultural centers like Los Angeles. "The Golden Coast" of California is often just a short trip from busy urban areas and is waiting to be explored!
Every mile has something new. There's a scenic photo waiting to be taken, a trail to be trekked and a beach with your name on it! It's no wonder the ancient leatherback sea turtle, has been visiting the waters off our shores for millions of years. Maybe it's about time you see for yourself why they keep coming back to our coast.
Learn more about the North, Central and Southern California Coasts below.
The North Coast
The North Coast, sometimes called the redwood empire, is dominated by acres upon acres of giant redwood trees. These are the tallest trees in the world and they line the coast and are often blanketed in Pacific fog. Many historic lighthouses punctuate the North Coast and peer out from scenic points, which jut out into the ocean. Reaching all the way down to the hustle and bustle of San Francisco, the North Coast is a must see.
The Central Coast
Some of the most breathtaking views mark the Central Coast, as its sheer cliffs and jagged rocks drop straight into the crashing waves of the ocean. This stunning beauty can be experienced through a drive along Highway 1, the world-renowned coastal road, and at numerous beaches and coastal parks. Many small craft-oriented communities dot the central coast, allowing visitors to contrast the rugged coast with fine food and art. As you travel, it's easy to learn about nature at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and other learning centers line this coastline.
The Southern California Coast
The Southern California Coast continues through the shining beaches of Los Angeles and San Diego before crossing into Mexico. The warm waters and expansive sandy beaches make the sun rich south coast a natural destination for travelers and locals alike. Be sure to keep the beaches clean and pristine while you enjoy the sun and the sand and maybe even get involved with a beach cleanup during your stay.
