Victoria Day is a Canadian holiday, but that doesn't mean it can't be celebrated around the world. And what better place to celebrate it than a place named Victoria?
I'm not sure how old I was when I realized there was a "Victoria Day." But I thought it was the coolest thing ever. A holiday dedicated to me?? How awesome was that??
Ok. So maybe it wasn't exactly dedicated to me. Maybe it was for this pretty well-known lady… Queen Victoria. Perhaps you've heard of her? Well, either way, I used it as an excuse to celebrate myself. At the beginning of each year when I got a new calendar, I looked up when Victoria Day was (it's celebrated on the last Monday before May 25th). Then as I got older and started to travel, I thought it would be super cool to visit different places named "Victoria." Since this woman was pretty famous, it was kind of easy to find places named after her. 😉
I've been to a few already, but a couple of my blogger friends have suggested even more places to visit that were named after
me Queen Victoria.
Victoria is the second smallest and second most populous state in Australia. Located in the South East corner of the country, it packs a huge punch.
We live in the capital of Melbourne – a city of over 4 million which is full of fun things to do. It is known as the sporting, cultural, shopping and eating capital of Australia and it's lots of fun trying out all of these things. I particularly love all the great food and the fact that there is always a fun event to go to.
There is plenty to do in the rest of the state too. From watching the penguin parade at Phillip Island, to the scenery on the Great Ocean Road, to panning for gold in Ballarat, to tasting top wines in the Yarra Valley, to visiting the many beautiful beaches and towns, there are plenty of great things to do in this Victoria.
Victoria (the capital of British Columbia, Canada) is located on the east side Vancouver Island. I've been to Victoria a few times and I love visiting this city. Victoria has relatively mild weather (compared to the rest of Canada) so the gardening season is longer there meaning I can go to Victoria and see beautiful flowers when there might still be snow back home. Victoria is small and easily walkable, but there is still a lot to do there.
I love getting a tuna tacone from Red Fish Blue Fish, a seafood restaurant located right on the harbour, and watching the float planes and boats go by. The British Columbia Legislature is across from the Inner Harbour and you can get a free tour of the building. There's also the nearby Empress Hotel, which helps give Victoria its sense of Britishness because they have high tea there. Last time I was in Victoria, I went to Miniature World (more for kids, but I still loved it), visited Craigdarroch Castle (a historic mansion now turned museum), and did a whale watching tour.
Located near the Gulf of Mexico, Victoria is a growing city in the county of Victoria (so cool!). It is part of the Main Street Program, which is dedicated to historic preservation, innovation, and community pride. There are a lot of cute locally-owned shops, up-and-coming restaurants, and great architecture. They also have a great Framer's Market where they have arts and crafts, food vendors, and music.
Of course, if you're in Great Britain, you're sure to find a lot of places named Victoria as well.
So maybe you had never heard of Victoria Day. But now you know, and I believe you should go out and celebrate! Have a drink for me, Queen Victoria, and/or any Victoria you know. And if you can celebrate it in a place named Victoria, even better! 😉
Have you ever celebrated Victoria Day? What's your favorite place that's named Victoria? We'd love to read your comments below! 🙂
Thanks for including my contribution to this post. I didn't realize how many places in the world are named Victoria in the world. I definitely want to visit Victoria State in Australia, and I'd never heard of Victoria, Texas but it sounds like a nice little city. I also realized within my own hometown (Edmonton, Alberta) there's a Victoria Park and a road called Victoria Trail.
You will have to visit your namesake state of Victoria! Is that on your travel plans, yet? 🙂
Lucky you having your own special holiday! I've been to Victoria in Australia, and Victoria station in the UK, will watch out for others named after you 🙂
I've never heard of Victoria Day before. Since the Canadians have it, I would imagine the British have it too, right? Victoria is a very beautiful name and so are all these cities named after the famous Queen. Lucky you to have visited some of them. I haven't seen any.
I had a mini celebration for Victoria Day in England! That photo of the Great Ocean Road is stunning.
A street in Dublin, close to my house, is called Victoria road: does it count? It's actually a lovely street, not a bad place to be associated with 🙂
Who knew that there were quite a few places called Victoria?! I've been to BC but unfortunately never made it to Victoria, just an excuse to go back!
Hahah! Great idea for a post. The Great Ocean road is a place I would love to go to!!! Everything about it screams roadtrip!
I've only been to Victoria, Australia and totally loved it, apart from the cost, heh! Melbourne as a city sure have plenty of things to do but at the same time there is a wide range of offerings as well if you travel out of the city whether into the countryside like Yarra Valley or towards the sea like the Great Ocean Road. All things considered, Victoria is a great destination, and I'm now a bit depressed that it's not named after me, haha!
Really beautiful photos and great post, thanks for sharing!
I say, if a holiday has your name on it, then take it, embrace it and make it your own. Who cares about past queens 😉
My name is Vicki and I am definitely adopting this as a celebratory day for me! I live in Australia so they might need a bit of convincing – but as part of the Commonwealth I reckon I've got a good chance!

Our Mission:
Reach the lost, Disciple the found, Model the Kingdom
Kona Church of the Nazarene is committed to REACHING THE LOST. In the heart of God, and in the spirit of the Great Commission, offering the Good News to the lost and downcast is fundamental to everything that KCN does. Given the contemporary challenges of ministry and the unique nature of ministry on the Big Island, reaching the lost should be specific to (and therefore strategically unique to) each distinct cultural context. Cultural relevance of the Gospel is the forte of missionaries; solidarity with the downcast is central to pastoral ministry: the most effective evangelistic tool, then, is to equip missionary-pastors to embody and proclaim the Good News in each unique mission field. (Matthew 8:12-14; Luke 15; Matthew 18:11; Luke 19:10)
Discipleship is the life to which Jesus called his followers and the end to which he sent them before he left. KCN is committed to DISCIPLING THE FOUND, the process of learning about and growing in obedience to the will of God. Further, discipleship offers a genuinely alternative future because discipleship is transformation, transformation into the likeness of Christ. KCN commits to discipling in the way of Jesus—focusing on transformation in the Kingdom of God. KCN will disciple toward transformation of individuals and communities; KCN commits to discipling kingdom-focused disciples to multiply disciples and positively influence their community. (Matthew 28:16-20; Romans 12:1-2; Mark 1:14-20)
The Kingdom of God is at hand and has characteristics that contrast the world. As Christ's Body, KCN is committed to MODELING THE KINGDOM by demonstrating these kingdom characteristics and preparing leaders to do the same. But faithful leaders are not born; they're taught. Current and future local leaders must be offered resources and support to become change-agents for their own communities. This begins with a sensitivity to and understanding of the unique needs in different communities and is accomplished ultimately through training and empowering local leaders to meet those needs in sustainable ways. KCN, with a commitment to seeing the Kingdom exhibited and God's reign experienced, will prepare faithful local leaders to manifest the Kingdom in their communities. (Matthew 5-7; Matthew 6:33; 1 Peter 2:9; John 17:15-18; Matthew 13; Mark 1:15)

On Wednesday, Kyle Busch added another trophy to his mantel. This time, it came in the form of an ESPY Award for Best Driver. Busch received the most votes among fellow nominees including 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon, 2015 Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton, 2016 Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi and 2015 NHRA Pro Stock champion Erica Enders-Stevens.
NASCAR drivers have certainly fared well at the ESPY's, claiming eight of the last 10 Best Driver awards. While that is neat and all, another cool stat is that on three of those eight occasions, the driver has won the previous year's Crown Royal 400 at the Brickyard as well as the NASCAR Cup Series championship. If you expand that list further, looking back at the award's history, then that number doubles to six.
Kyle Busch had an incredible comeback in 2015 after a bone-crushing wreck during the XFINITY Series race at Daytona. After missing the first 11 races of the season, he came back to win four out of five races during the summer months of the NASCAR schedule. That final win was right here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He went on, of course, to win the 2015 Sprint Cup title.
Other drivers that have also won here at the Racing Capital of the World and gone on to win the championship and ESPY Best Driver include Dale Jarrett (2000), Bobby Labonte (2001), Tony Stewart (2006) and Jimmie Johnson (2009 and 2010).
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is rich with history and legends. It's fitting that with the Crown Royal presents the Combat Wounded Coalition 400 at the Brickyard right around the corner, another NASCAR driver will be added to that list. Be sure to get your tickets to this year's race as you will witness history in the making.

One of the spiritual goals I set for this year was to go on a spiritual retreat. In the past, I have attended silent weekend retreats at Mount St. Francis in Cochrane, AB.
These days, I have been too busy to go out of town to attend a retreat. I know, just looking at that in black and white looks like a lame excuse. However, I suppose that I can take comfort knowing that I am not alone. Lenten missions have emerged in recent years to appeal to the busy.
What is a Lenten Mission?
The purpose of a spiritual retreat is to get away from our daily distractions and reconnect with God. Without the noise, you can re-balance and re-prioritize as well.
As far as a Parish Mission goes, I will quote Deacon W. Gerard Gautrau from "Reinvigorate Your Faith at Lenten Missions" by Kyle Barrett: "I would say the Lenten mission is the retreat coming to the people rather than the people going to the retreat." Deacon Gautrau serves at Sacred Heart of Jesus in Norco, LA. As to why it is a Lenten mission, that's because it takes place during Lent.
Over the course of several days, usually a weekend, a guest speaker comes to a parish and gives theme-based presentations and/or meditations. Sometimes, there is music. Whenever possible, free childcare is offered. Spiritual Directors are available for those seeking guidance, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered and Mass is celebrated.
My First Lenten Mission Experience
This was my first Lenten Mission. Entitled "Nothing More Beautiful," it was offered by my hometown parish. Father Clair Watrin gave four sessions this past weekend. I attended the three for adults.
The first session really gripped me. Father Watrin spoke and presented several questions for us to reflect upon. At the heart of it was this: "What is most important?"
To help us, Father Clair asked us, "What do you spend the most time on?" and "What captures you?" What stood out to me is in the busyness of life, what is most important to us doesn't match what we spend the most time on.
Another point Father Clair brought up is that if we lead someone to sin, we are murdering their soul. By extension, you could say each time we sin, we murder our own soul. These were harsh words, but I think Father was trying to drive the importance of our spiritual well-being, and being mindful of the spiritual wellbeing of others.
The second session I attended focussed on love and practising "doing the right thing." There are two parts to this.
With regards to love, Father Clair spoke of how we all love stories about "heroic love," such as a complete stranger risking his or her life to save someone in danger. "True love," he said, "is doing the right thing when you don't feel like doing it." Perhaps you are angry with your friend/significant other/spouse/co-worker/child. Doing something caring for that person, even when you don't feel very loving at the moment is an example of this. "It takes courage to love when you don't feel very loving," he added.
On practising "doing the right thing," Father Clair incorporated a bit of visualization to practise how to respond when faced with a crisis or temptation. The example I gave a friend was this: say you're a teen and you're going to a party where there is alcohol. You don't want to drink, so you practise how to respond to people asking, cajoling or trying to force you to drink.
The final session was on prayer and truly living in the moment. This also spoke volumes to me.
"Every prayer makes a difference," he said. "Prayer is the most powerful thing in the world." The thing is, sometimes we just don't see that our prayers are making a difference. Or sometimes, it takes time for us to see the results of our prayers.
"All there is to life is right now," Father Clair said. We're always in a hurry. Or, we're too busy looking forward, or dwelling on the past.
"Every now moment is an opportunity to surrender to God," he said. To get close to Him.
This last part truly resonated with me. Lately, I've been focussed on "After I get this done, I can [insert blank]." Or, "When I get this done, then I'll be ready for [insert blank]." During the mission, I realized that things are getting dropped because of this mindset, and relationships with those around me are affected by my tunnel vision.
As I sat there in silence with the other parishioners during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, I mulled over this. Then, variations of the same phrase pop into my consciousness:
What can I do right now to help [So-and-So]?
What can I do right this minute to get out debt?
If I want to ______ what can I do right now to work towards that goal?
What can I do right here and right now to make the world a better place?
Lenten Mission: Closing Thoughts
I enjoyed my first Lenten Parish Mission. This was a great way for me to meet my goal of attending a spiritual retreat.
The biggest revelation that I came away with is that I need to realign so that what I truly find important matches what I spend most of my time. I need to learn how to manage my time more efficiently, so that I can spend more time on the things that matter and less time fretting over the other stuff.

If you have ever played Jenga then you know how careful you need to be when pulling out blocks. Well just imagine having to do this with using heavy machinery such as a crane built by Caterpillar! Most of us would fail miserably trying to move and pickup the blocks without knocking the entire stack over but the people at Caterpillar wanted to show how much control they have over their machines.
This is a great example of how to think outside of the box when marketing your product range.

We felt that there was great potential to make a series of stylish but informative city guide videos about the neighbourhoods that are home to different Soho houses. With Shoreditch bursting with interesting, often hidden gems we spent time with Kat – a Shoreditch House member who took us on a day out to her favourite East London hangouts.
The video was used as an internal training tool by Soho House Head of Digital, Kris Shaw, to launch the "City Guide" portal on their House Seven app.
This is what Kris said about working with us:
"WVP are brimming with great ideas and bring a documentary feel to branded content shorts. Really impressed!"
With thanks to David Curtis for graphic animation, Molinare Hoxton for grading and Rich Robinson at Parlephone for music.

This means Saxena can earn stake in the agency. She will also head the art and design function there.
A year after its launch, What's Your Problem has further beefed up its creative team with senior-level hires. Divya Saxena joins as founder-member and the fifth member of the core team which includes Amit and Praful Akali, Huzefa Roowala, and Hammad Khan. Saxena comes in as director, creative and design.
Saxena will partner Roowala and Khan to take responsibility of the creative product. She comes with over 10 years of experience in various agencies, including Mc Cann, JWT, DDB Mudra, and Grey Worldwide. Her last stint was as creative director at Contract Advertising. She has worked on brands such as Cadbury's, Reliance, Nokia, Airtel DTH, Perfetti, ESPN, Philips, Wrigley, HP, Nestle Maggi, Nescafe, Fiat Punto, Killer, Shaze, and Femina. Saxena has also been nominated in several award shows including One Show, Cannes, Adfest, and Spikes Asia.
Commenting on the development, Amit Akali, managing partner and creative head, WYP, says, "Last year was a fantastic year for us and the business is now investing back in the business and our clients' needs. We are very clear that art and design play an important role in the digital world today, and that is one of the pillars we want to build WYP on. We've been on the lookout for a suitable art head and fifth member of the core team. Most of our employees are young (other than me!), multi-faceted and believe in the big idea. (Divya) Saxena completely fits the bill. She's got a cutting edge design sense, the talent to make anything look great. At the same time, she believes in brand-building and media-neutral ideas."
On her new role, Saxena says, "Coming from a background of mainline agencies to a fully-integrated digital set-up at WYP is obviously challenging. But, as we say, the idea is always media-neutral. I am banking on that and excited about the fact that we will get to do work that we really want to do. It is also great that I'll be involved in creating the kind of place where I've always wanted to work."
Saxena is supported by two senior art hires -- Sameer Murudkur who joins as associate creative director, and Shihab Kareem as Group head, art.
Murudkur has over 15 years of experience in advertising with agencies such as Soho Square (Ogilvy's second agency), Triton Communications, and Vyas Giannetti Creative. Brands he has worked on include Flying Machine jeans, ITC Soap and Shampoo, Radio City 91.1FM, NG Mutual Fund, Mont Blanc, Dainik Bhaskar, Bajaj Appliances, Perfetti (Stop Not), and Vespa. He also worked on the BJP Election campaign of 2014 (Abki Baar Modi Sarkar), which won the Grand Effie. Murudkur is also a photographer.
Kareem has over eight years of experience in advertising. His last assignment was with Grey Bengaluru. He has worked on various accounts such as Duracell, Dell, and Britannia, winning various awards including Spikes Asia, Adfest, Kyoorius, and Abby's. He's passionate about film-making and has directed ad films, as well as been assistant director for feature films, including the newly-released 'Waiting'.
The copy and technology team gets further strengthened with the joining of Mihir Chitre as Group head. He's got six years of experience at agencies including Web Chutney and Quasar. He joins WYP after a stint at OgilvyOne, where he conceptualised and executed campaigns such as Transferkars for Tata Sky, #DonateAWall for Asian Paints. He has worked on several brands including Amul Macho, Castrol, Vodafone, Google India, and Tata Salt.
When he's not fiddling with ideas for brands, Chitre indulges in poetry. His first book 'Hyphenated' was published by the Sahitya Akademi.
Akali adds, "All our new hires bring multi-faceted talents such as photography, film-making, and poetry to the table. Now that we've got our third-level, second-level, and even new partners in place, we're confident to add scale, and reinforce the WYP promise. With nearly 80-plus employees, along with Medulla, we're clearly poised for our next phase of growth."

August 22, 1986, Section C, Page 17Buy Reprints
The Feelies, the Ritz, 119 East 11th Street (254-2800). How many ways can a guitar be strummed? If any band knows, it is the Feelies, who have been the New York area's best-loved underground rockers since the late 1970's. Feelies songs revolve around simple chord patterns strummed in intricate cross-rhythms - sometimes gentle and pastoral, more often working up to a frenzied drone that barely leaves room for the band's conversational singing, the perfect rock for seething introverts. In the past, the Feelies have been one of rock's more reclusive bands, disappearing for years at a stretch; with the release of their second album, ''The Good Earth,'' they are back on the club-and-concert circuit. The pop-rock band Lifeboat opens tonight at 11, with the Feelies appearing about 12:30 A.M.; tickets are $10.
Wynton Marsalis and Bobby McFerrin, Pier 84, West 44th Street at the Hudson River (249-8870). Two of the most charismatic young jazz musicians, the trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and the vocalist Bobby McFerrin, are sharing a bill at this large outdoor site. Mr. Marsalis has dedicated his gleaming trumpet tone and his unerring technique to extending the hard-bop of the 1960's - music with complicated harmonic and rhythmic twists that still aims to convey direct feelings. Mr. McFerrin just steps onstage and starts singing, bouncing notes from baritone to falsetto ranges and sharing his delight in the flexibility of the human voice. Tonight at 7:30; tickets are $15.
Bill Barron, the Jazz Center of New York, 380 Lafayette Street (505-5660). Bill Barron has his own approach to tenor saxophone - probing and incisive, using be-bop and modal jazz in a way that breaks free of conventions. As a composer, Mr. Barron thinks hard about structure; as an improviser, he glides and stalks through his own tunes to reclaim the flavor of the blues. Mr. Barron spends most of his time teaching; he makes one of his infrequent New York appearances tonight and tomorrow at the Jazz Center. Sets are at 9:30 and 11 P.M.; tickets are $10.
Jazz Album of the Week: Ronnie Mathews: ''So Sorry Please'' (Nilva, available through the New Music Distribution Service). The pianist Ronnie Mathews plays all the dialects of modern mainstream jazz, but his heart is in be-bop. He can summon the fleet single-note lines of Bud Powell and the blocky chords of Thelonious Monk, along with the modal riffs of McCoy Tyner and a sprinkling of the blues - all with a crisp fluency that has made him one of the city's busier sidemen. ''So Sorry Please,'' a trio album named after a Bud Powell composition, is a collection of jazz and pop standards from Ellington (''Day Dream'' and ''Prelude to a Kiss''), Monk (''Crepuscule with Nellie'' and ''I Mean You'') and Tin Pan Alley, along with Mr. Mathews'sown modal ''Song for Leslie.'' With the light, brisk drumming of Alvin Queen and the jaunty support of Ray Drummond's bass, Mr. Mathews makes the tunes glitter. This weekend, Mr. Mathews is performing (with a quartet that includes Branford Marsalis on saxophone) at Whippoorwill, 18 East 18th Street (675-7100). Sets are at 10 P.M. and midnight and 1:30 A.M. tonight and tomorrow, with a $15 cover and a two-drink minimum; on Sunday, sets are at 10 and 11:30 P.M. and 1 A.M., with a $10 cover and a two-drink minimum.

President Trump says UK protests make him feel 'unwelcome'
Written by GeneseeNow Editor on July 12, 2018
(LONDON) — In a stunning interview just hours before his arrival in the United Kingdom, President Donald Trump said large-scale protests in London make him feel "unwelcome" on his first visit to the country and he appeared to undercut Prime Minister Theresa May as she faces a political crisis over negotiations to exit the European Union.
While the White House had previously denied the president's schedule in London was intended to keep him away from the protests, Trump admitted as much in an interview with the British-owned tabloid "The Sun."
"I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London," Trump said, referring to a 20-foot 'Trump Baby' blimp that protesters are expected to fly over Parliament Square Friday. "I used to love London as a city. I haven't been there in a long time. But when they make you feel unwelcome, why would I stay there?"
Trump insisted, however, that most in the U.K. were "delighted" about his visit even as he took a shot at London mayor Sadiq Khan for not taking a harder line on immigration and painted the city as a hub for terrorism.
"Take a look at the terrorism that is taking place," Trump said. "Look at what is going on in London. I think he has done a very bad job on terrorism."
Trump also set a hard line on the country's ongoing "Brexit" negotiations, telling the tabloid that he advised Prime Minister May against the 'soft' blueprint she recently presented to alleviate economic fallout as the country separates from the European Union.
"I would have done it much differently,' Trump said. "I actually told Theresa May how to do it but she didn't agree, she didn't listen to me."
Trump went as far as to suggest that a "soft" Brexit could endanger any unilateral trade deal reached between the U.S. and the U.K.
"If they do that, then their trade deal with the U.S. will probably not be made," Trump said.
While his comments appeared to disparage May's stated position in the midst of domestic turmoil, Trump also elevated Boris Johnson, May's political rival who resigned as U.K. foreign secretary Monday citing the Brexit negotiations.
"Well, I am not pitting one against the other," Trump said. "I am just saying I think he would be a great prime minister. I think he's got what it takes."
The interview posted online as Prime Minister May welcomed President Trump and the first lady at Blenheim Palace for a lavish gala dinner. In a statement to the Sun, May did not push back directly against the president but did stand by her position on Brexit.
"We have come to an agreement at the proposal we're putting to the European Union which absolutely delivers on the Brexit people voted for," May said. "They voted for us to take back control of our money, our law and our borders and that's exactly what we will do."

text: Underwater has always been an art I wanted to explore. Salt water already ran through my veins as I began my adventure into photography. It was time to blend my two passions and something amazing manifested! When the light shines down through the water it bends and reflects in mystical ways. Underwater the colors are enhanced, the angles are more dramatic and everything is magnified. Whether that subject is a model for swim wear, a couple for a lifestyle shoot or just an eloquent landscape my underwater photograph will be distinctive! . Shooting underwater has given me the chance to showcase my talent of combining nature and the subject being photographed to a completely higher level. Being able to combine mystical and realistic forms has allowed me endless opportunities. My underwater housing, Nauticam, makes it possible to focus on the unique beauty in the water enhancing the color, clarity, lighting, and shadows. It is with my professional equipment, talent and comfort in the water that I am completely confident I can create a unique image.

Women of the Wall 521.
(photo credit: Marc Israel Sellem/The Jerusalem Post)
Several MKs, including Aliza Lavie of Yesh Atid, have criticized the
participation of their Knesset colleagues in Tuesday's Women of the Wall prayer
service at the Western Wall.Lavie, author of A Jewish Woman's Prayer
Book, said the attendance of MKs Stav Shaffir, Tamar Zandberg and Michal Roisin
at the service sends a message to the Israeli public that "Supreme Court rulings
and police decisions are merely recommendations."
"These anarchistic actions have for some
time turned into a national sport among the extreme Left in Israel," Regev wrote
on her Facebook page."This disgraceful action, which seeks to injure the
Holy of Holies and the feelings of the Jewish people and the Israeli public,
should be denounced," she declared.Bayit Yehudi MK Uri Ariel echoed
Lavie's sentiments regarding the current regulations for the Western Wall plaza,
calling for adherence to the law."It is unbelievable that when I went up
to the Temple Mount it was done through strict adherence to the guidelines laid
down by the police, but at the Western Wall plaza we should ignore the
regulations and public order?" said Ariel.Jewish and non-Muslim visitors
to the Temple Mount are strictly controlled and the police prohibit non-Muslim
prayer and worship at the site."The radicalism [of the Women of the
Wall] will lead us all to a 'civil war,' God forbid," he added, saying that
Women of the Wall are "grossly violating the guidelines for behavior at the
site, [and] are injuring the sensitivities of those praying there."In
2003, the Supreme Court upheld the right of the Women of the Wall to pray at the
Western Wall according to their custom, but in the same decision ruled that this
right was "not an unlimited right" and that the rights of others who might be
offended by different customs should also be protected, also emphasizing the
importance of maintaining order and preventing violence at the site.The
ruling also stipulated that a section of the Western Wall, further south and
separated from the Western Wall Plaza, be designated as a place of prayer for
the group and other, non-Orthodox groups, and that the government must ensure
that the site is upgraded to be an appropriate place of prayer.The site
has not been adequately upgraded, however, and is not available in the
evenings.Women of the Wall chairwoman Anat Hoffman described the court's
solution as "separate but equal," in reference to the segregationist policies
prevalent in the southern United States until the Civil Rights movement of the
1950s and 60s.The court ruling stated that if these arrangements were
not made within 12 months, the government would be obligated to set up
appropriate arrangements for the group at the Western Wall Plaza.

Opencaching Nears its 2nd Anniversary
Well here we are. We are nearly five weeks away from the second anniversary of Opencaching.com. I ranted and raved, for some time about the site. There are a number of repercussions of that fateful decision by Garmin to take the step that it did. In the Geocaching website, and in the world of geocaching that we.
Where did it come from?
Really? No one knows the stories abound, and denials. Some say that Garmin was upset about the Geomate jr. that Groundspeak pushed. It felt that it was encroaching on them. Others have mentioned Garmin's shrinking market in the handheld market, and thought this was the way for it to bolster sales.
In all who knows. The ones making the decision made it. Opencaching became a reality. It was developed quietly, and without anyone knowing. In fact an announcement was made to reviewers that it was in progress only a few months before it was released. So the small company with a worldwide following was about to go head to head with a multi-billion dollar company.
I remember hearing about it and seeing the screen above on the site. I watched it pretty regularly, wondering what would happen. Who knows, the world of caching may be changing while I stood.
Given there were a number of other caching sites. Opencaching.us (and their sister sites), Navicaching, and Terracaching, just to name a few. However all were like garage bands. Formed at home, maintained with love, and a few avid followers, they seem to plug on year after year. As long as their founders kept paying the bills, the site rolled forward.
However none really caught on. Each site had their niche, and followers, but without the support they kind of moved on. To be fair Opencaching.us (and their sister sites) were new to the scene at that point.
The Arrival
The site arrived in December of 2010 and many cachers, and Groundspeak and it volunteers were watching closely. I was disappointed. Even though I like Groundspeak, and follow its site, I was saddened in the quality of the site that Garmin put out at first. Buggy, no reviews by anyone. It seemed to be "import all your caches, and have fun". I wonder what they thought the reaction would be.
I remember my contacts early on. The Opencaching network, that had been around for some time was upset in the use of the name. Garmin mentioned that they had spoken with them beforehand, however all the websites that I contacted confirmed that they were not contacted, and the use of the anem was in bad taste.
There were no great features that stood it apart from Geocaching.com. Well awesomeness was there. You could rate the cache on how cool it was. I did not play enough, and no one logged my caches enough to see if ratings changed based on the finders ratings.
Well the growth was fairly stable. The few surges that appears was when they had promotions. Actually in the last 14-16 months the only significant growth was when they had a promotion. Other than that they had very little. They have away a few mediocre gps units, and Pathtags.
However the growth is kind of stale. A friend of mine used to track them pretty regularly. Weekly updating me with numbers of caches listed, and caches that were unique to the opencaching sites (not copies of a geocaching.com cache.
The numbers have been about the same since the site started. Just less than 10% of the caches are unique. A number of those were caches that were rejected from the geocaching site for one reason or another. I noticed a few that I rejected pop up.
They did finally add peer review. It was needed badly or it would have become the refuse pile of caches. Lots of junk caches were appearing, and with anarchy abounding, horrible caches are still there.
Present Day Issues
There are a number of issues that still exist. You cannot post photos to your cache page. Bugs still run rampant, thought they just added a few features.
I know for some time the community there wailed that it appeared that it had been abandoned. I personally picture a lone programmer down in a basement trying to keep things going, keep the site up, and get the money for the promotions.
We saw a number of things from them at events, and mega events. Hosting or sponsoring things. A few of my friends report a guy at an event in an opencaching shirt handing out swag. So they are about.
There has been a move of the banned, annoyed, and grumpy cachers that traveled there to discuss caching. The first people that jumped on board were cachers that had a history of problems with the geocaching site, and its forums. They promptly jumped to the site and touted its greatness, and then promptly started to complain about both sites.
Changes in the Caching Community
There are a number of smaller changes that the average person will not notice. Garmins ads have dissapeared from the website. The geocaching website.
This year when i started working on the Mega event our contact specifically states that we could not have Opencaching or Garmin as a sponsor. Another reviewer put it well when they said "Why should garmin ride the coattails of our event, let them get their own."
So for are event we have to point out to everyone that they cannot "sublease" their vendor space, or tables to Garmin. Sadly that means money and swag that could have came from Garmin is now not allowed at mega events.
A number of people have said that they are going to give serious thought at other units. Though i am a Garmin Oregon user and love it, When it is time for me to move on I will seriously look at another unit. I may not choose it, but I will not only look at Garmin. That is a switch because the horror of my second GPS unit made me swear to never buy another one from that company. Now I will look at them again. It may not make much of a change, but the phrase was put to me best by another geocacher. "Why should I support a company that is trying to tear apart a game/company that I love and enjoy." have heard that a number of times over the last few years.
I had a discussion with a governement land manager this last week. They have had a number of issues getting caches removed that they do not want. Caches that they never approved, or that were removed on geocaching.com and they cant seem to get them removed on opencaching.com. In the telephone discussion he said he discussed it with other government land managers. Why did this get published? Who oversees publishing? How can we get it removed, how long will it take? It had left a bad taste in their mouth, it reminded me of the stories when caches were banned from parks.
Ultimately I wonder if the site is just irrelevant. No one goes there. People banned from geocaching or want to complain seem to hang out.
Cachers post caches and get their prizes and walk away. I have archived caches in my area (as a reviewer) that the cacher is long gone. Yet still they sit on opencaching.com. Of course no one has looked for them, or one person. So they have no idea by the record if they are gone or not.
My cache is dual listed. In two years I have one find on opencaching. On geocaching those numbers are over a hundred to 150 (I archived it and relisted it when I made it a letterbox). A few friends archived all or many of them when nothing came of them, and they did not want to maintain two sites.
I don't know why they keep it going. They seem to put so little work into it, that I guess dumping 30k a year in it is no big deal for a company that size.
For me? I will stick with geocaching.com.

TV shows create real Web sites for made-up ones
In the olden days, "555" alerted any viewer to a fake phone number in a TV show or movie. Thankfully, today, there's no equivalent for fake Web sites.
For a show like CBS's How I Met Your Mother, this has been boon. If a character on the sitcom mentions a fictional Web site or blog, there's no need for the Web address to remain fictional.
In quick time, the domain name can be cheaply purchased and registered. Suddenly, a one-liner has new digital life. The joke Web site becomes a real Web site, and industrious fans follow the trail.
No show has embraced these possibilities more than How I Met Your Mother. Created by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, the show is based on a group of friends in New York (among them is Barney Stinson, played by Neil Patrick Harris). Unlike most shows, it's narrated entirely in the past tense and full of comical reminiscing; it's the William Faulkner of sitcoms.
Like its forays into the past, How I Met Your Mother expands its comedy into the Web. In its four seasons, it has created a blog for Stinson and more than six mock Web sites.
"That is always the most annoying thing when you watch a show and you hear that '555' and it takes you out of it," said Bays in an interview. "The Internet is so user- accessible that whenever you hear 'w-w-w' on a show, you just know that there's probably something behind it. There's an extra layer of depth to this show knowing that you can go to a different medium and continue the story."
It's a practice that has become increasingly common. The appeal of mock sites was perhaps first widely noticed in 2006 when Conan O'Brien ad-libbed after a manatee mascot sketch on Late Night.
O'Brien joked that the mascot had the Web site "hornymanatee.com." NBC then purchased the address, and Late Night quickly developed the site, spawning a hit that attracted millions of visitors.
Bays and Thomas first created a mock Web site when they were writers for CBS's The Late Show With David Letterman. With then-head writer Rodney Rothman, they created a fake boy band called Fresh Step (named for the cat litter), had it perform on the show as a musical guest and built a Web site for the band.
On How I Met Your Mother, Bays and Thomas have even created a staff position for the creation of mock sites, held by their house Web guru Carl MacLaren.
Together, they've made a MySpace fan page (www.myspace.com/robinsparkles) for Canadian pop singer Robin Sparkles, an alter ego of the show's Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), who enjoyed brief fame for her '80s hit Let's Go to the Mall. A three-minute music video has been viewed by more than 460,000 on YouTube.
There's a site for Barney's video résumé (www.barneysvideoresume.com) and one for a Web address Robin casually mentions in an episode. Its subject can be deciphered from the exceedingly long URL: www.guyforceshiswifetodressinagarbagebagforthenextthreeyears.com.
There are others, too, but perhaps the best is a site supposedly created by a woman (played by Charlene Amoia) scorned by Barney who thinks his name is Ted Mosby (the name of Josh Radnor's character). On www.tedmosbyisajerk.com, there's a psychotic, impassioned 22-minute song by Barney's crushed admirer.
The song was recorded in Bays' garage with Amoia singing and ad-libbing. It's a welcome outlet for Bays and Thomas, despite the added pressure of creating more content.
"The great thing about it is with our job, there's always 22 minutes of TV time to fill," says Bays. "With the Internet, it's nice to write for a medium where there's very little constraint other than the amount of time you have to work on it and the amount of money you have to spend on it."
Conceived as low-budget larks, the producers are inevitably caught by surprise at the traffic to these sites. Bays says the numbers are usually in the hundreds of thousands.
"We always underestimate how many people are going to tune it," says Bays. "Every time we put a Web site up, routinely, it will crash within the first 15 minutes."
The show made its latest extension into cyberspace on its March 23 episode with www.canadiansexacts.org.

The World and I Belong to Each Other
I believe I was born to know the world.
At six, I ignored Barbie dolls. I preferred to grab my walking stick, army knife and an apple, unleash Princesse, my mutt, and head into the deep woods― a narrow patch of roughly cleared forest between our property and the Ottawa River. There I rendez-voued with my hero Daniel Boone to trap the porc-epic (porcupine) that had been terrorizing my dog. To me Daniel Boone was as Canadian as I was. After all, he spoke French on my television. Read More »

Sometimes I find myself spending way too much time cruising around on YouTube watching harp videos. I just love seeing and hearing all of the different kinds of harps that people have all around the world, watching how they play, finding new tunes I'd like to learn, and finding videos that are downright awe inspiring!
Here are a few videos that top my list of performances that just defy the imagination in terms of technique, expressiveness, and sheer beauty!
Xavier de Maistre is one of the finest harpists in the world today. I have played the harp for almost 40 years, and it still just boggles my mind that anyone can play The Moldau on the harp, much less do it this beautifully. I just LOVE watching him play. Everything in the world disappears when he starts playing. I love the little finger on his right hand, too!
Xavier de Maistre plays Clair de Lune. What more can I say?
Here is Canadian harpist, Josh Layne, playing his Fantasy on Greensleeves. I've always loved theme and variations; it is just fascinating to see what can be done with a simple tune. He is another brilliant young harpist.
Josh also has a great series of instructional videos called Harp Tuesday on YouTube. I believe there are 60 episodes now on a great variety of topics. They are all well worth watching.
Here is one episode on exercises (warmups, arpeggios, etc.).
I will end this post with one more mind boggling video. This is Sylvain Blassel playing Liszt's Hugarian Rhapsodie–a piece which most sane harpists in the world would not even attempt! I just wish the video would show more of his feet. You know they are just going MAD on those pedals!

What to eat in place of poha, paneer, pasta and white rice
Find yourself making bad food decisions more often than not? There really are better alternatives to white rice and, believe it or not, French fries.
Make the change so you can feel smug about your still delicious but super-healthy diet.
Better pick: Bhutanese heirloom red rice or Kerala rosematta rice, which have six times the fibre and more iron, will add nutrients and colour. Indonesia's 'forbidden rice' is similar in nutrition to red rice, and turns a lovely deep purple when cooked.
If you think the nutritionally superior brown rice takes too long to prepare, try the parboiled version, which cooks faster and stays firm. But if you need white on your plate, go with the far healthier barley, which regulates blood sugar and works perfectly in risottos and pulaos.
For the more committed, grated steamed cauliflower, rich in vitamin C, is a healthy faux rice option.
Better pick: If you're constantly counting carbs, create mock pasta by cutting zucchini, cabbage leaves or spaghetti squash into shoestrings or a fine julienne. Shirataki noodles, made from the Japanese elephant yam, are a zero-carb, gluten-free alternative to pasta and egg noodles, and remain popular among the weight-conscious. "Try wholewheat or gluten-free pasta, and opt for tomato sauce instead of white sauce," suggests macrobiotic nutritionist and chef Shonaalii Sabherwal.
To make sure you're not compromising on taste, Alex Sanchez, executive chef at The Table in Mumbai, offers simple advice: "If you are going to swap out ingredients, do understand how to cook the replacement before starting." For example, whole wheat pastas are healthier than their refined counterparts, but they take less time to cook and can become unpleasantly mushy when overdone.
Better pick: Quinoa, the ancient super-food from Bolivia, can be used as a substitute for rice, wheat and grain. Unlike poha (flattened white rice) or upma (semolina wheat), quinoa is a seed, so it has more complete proteins and a higher fibre, calcium and iron content. Swapping in quinoa leaves your breakfast staples tasting the same -- just healthier.
Better pick: For sandwiches, Sanchez suggests "using something like hummus, which mimics the smooth, palate-coating texture of butter. For roasting or sautéing, use canola oil or peanut oil, both rich in cholesterol-reducing mono-unsaturated fats." Freshly mashed avocado, high in antioxidants and good fats, also works well as a spread on toast and muffins. And for a mineral-rich, low-carb option, use roasted-garlic paste -- just roast garlic pods in their skins until the inside turns creamy and soft, and squeeze out.
Better pick: Romaine, a dark-leaved lettuce, has vitamins C and K in far greater quantities than the water-laden but less nutritive iceberg. If you can't bring yourself to give up the crispness of iceberg, at least reduce the amount you use by throwing in some arugula (rocket) and red radicchio.
Better pick: Try 'jeltzers', the fizzy and healthy mix of fruit juice and seltzer that you can easily whip up at home -- just make sure you use antioxidant-rich juices like cranberry, pomegranate or pink guava.
When eating out, ask for iced tea with sugar on the side, so you can control your sugar intake -- and stay away from pre-packaged sparkling juices completely, as they have far too much sweetener to be good for you. On your travels, keep an eye out for Bionade, the organic alternative to cola that has swept Europe, or Steaz, sparkling green tea sweetened with the herb stevia.
Better pick: You can always have 'air fries', made in an air-fryer, which uses 50-80 per cent less fat for frying. It's the oil that makes classic French fries unhealthy -- a small order at McDonalds, for example, is about 230 calories. To boost the nutritional value, keep the skins on.
Excess salt is another culprit, so ask for unsalted fries, or make like the British and add a dash of vinegar. When eating out, go with baked fries (cut like regular fries, but baked in an oven with a light brushing of oil). You should also explore other baked root vegetables, like sweet potatoes, beets and yams, which are loaded with antioxidants, minerals and fibre.
Better pick: Tofu has fewer calories (approximately half!) and is a boon for the lactose intolerant. But if you find tofu too bland, use tempeh, a more fermented version.
Better pick: Cupcakes may be the one thing we just cannot do without, but it's worth remembering that a single helping contains 300-500 calories. Sanchez uses banana or apple bread as the main base because it has the sweetness of natural fruit. "The frosting," he suggests, "can be replaced with strained and whipped yoghurt lightly sweetened with honey."

FULL TEXT: Dr. Nagle, Deputy Registrar of Vital Statistics, called the attention of the Board of Health yesterday to an establishment at No. 149 Charles street, in which there was a remarkable infant mortality. Dr. Nagle stated that no less than six children had died in the house within the past month, which was in itself a good cause for investigation. The deaths of these children were all verified to by reputable physicians, and there was nothing suspicious about the diseases from which it was reported they had died, the chief cause being cholera infantum and marasmus. Sanitary Superintendent Day was directed to make an inspection, and Sanitary Inspector Hughes was detailed for that purpose. The house in question is kept by Mrs. Rozilla Worcester. It is a two story brick house, very respectable in appearance and the interior is remarkably neat and clean. Mrs. Worcester, on being questioned by a Times reporter, denied that there had been any unusual infantile mortality in her house. She said that there had been only two deaths there in six weeks. One of these children was at his birth so weak and puny that it lived only a few hours. The other died of marasmus. Both had proper medical attendance. During the excessive heat which last Summer proved so fatal to children throughout the City three children died at her house from cholera infantum. Mrs. Worcester said that she kept a private lying-in establishment.

As most of you know, I take an annual weekend trip to New York City. Just me. Alone. It is one of the highlights of my year. Every year is slightly different, but follows the same basic framework. Typically I fly up early on a Friday morning. I see a friend or two who live in the area – maybe lunch on Friday with one friend, brunch on Sunday with another. But basically keep my Friday free of scheduled events. In fact, I often refer to it as Free Friday. Because it's just me, doing what I want to do. No responsibilities, no one else's needs/wants/desires to consider. Want to duck into Mikimoto on 5th Avenue and try on pearls you could never hope to afford in your life? Why not? It's Free Friday, and you don't have children clinging to your legs like kudzu. Want to spend 5 hours straight in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, perhaps going to a lecture, or perhaps just sitting down on a bench amongst the Greek & Roman sculpture to read a book for a bit, or perhaps spending long minutes staring lovingly/scrutinizing your favorite painting in the world, Pygmalion & Galatea, which just happens to hang in the Met? Why not? It's Free Friday, and to quote Keith Nelson, Eric Stoltz's character from Some Kind of Wonderful, "This is my church."
I always visit the Met. Every Free Friday. I have to. It's like a compulsion. The mothership calling me home. It is a stunning collection. And despite my many, many visits, I'm still just scratching the surface. Plus they keep renovating and opening new wings, hosting new exhibits. But more about that later. So, I know that at some point on Free Friday I'm going to end up on 5th at 82nd. But I also try to do something new each year. Some past adventures have included a visit to Eataly, a stroll along the High Line, visiting the Frick, the Whitney, seeking out the Peanut Butter & Co restaurant to order an authentic "Elvis" sandwich, scoping out the Natural History Museum & the Children's Museum of Manhattan for possible inclusion in Crazy Momma's Road Trip, wandering through Central Park with no destination in mind. The list goes on. It's amazing how much experience you can pack into one day when you're on your own. And I feel like I should go on record as saying that I love riding the subway. I do. The people-watching possibilities are endless. It's like every time I step on the train I've become an observer and/or participant in a new play. I've seen anger, aggression, passion, joy, sadness, all played out before my very eyes. I've had meaningful interactions with strangers – a communal laugh, a shared eye-rolling look in response to someone else's ridiculous antics. Plus I think I enjoy the satisfaction that comes from successfully navigating my way through a city that is not my own. It's actually rather easy once you know how to read the subway map. And I do so very much love my map.
Anyway, this year, I mixed it up a bit. I usually fly up Friday because, well, who can possibly afford the cost of an additional night in a hotel in New York City? Not me, anyway. But this year, thanks to the re-connective power of that much-maligned social media, Facebook, I flew up Thursday night to stay with an old friend. Now, she's not old, but our friendship is. We met during a summer scholars program during the summer between our Junior and Senior years in high school. We were fast friends. Then we maintained a close pen pal relationship throughout college. For those of you in a younger generation than me, you might not be familiar with the concept. We used to write letters. Literally. With a pen and paper, envelopes and stamps. We didn't have the internet, there was no e-mail. We wrote to each other. Long letters. So, the point is that I knew Robyn for about a nanosecond a million years ago. But last year when she was rummaging about in her parents' attic she came across a stack of letters from me. This prompted her to google me. And thus, another reconnection on Facebook, via this blog, came to be. And I could not be happier about it. So, she's living in NYC, and since I want to see her, spend time with her, I screw up my moxie and ask if I can crash on her couch Thursday night. Being awesome, like she is, and disregarding the fact that I am now clearly a nutcase, she says, sure, come on!
So, I flew into LaGuardia last Thursday night, was thwarted at the cab queue by the Rangers in the Garden, thus no cabs, but one bus, and a subway transfer, and four blocks later, I arrived at her apartment on the Upper West Side. And when she opened the door, it was beyond amazing. Instantly I was transported back to that undecorated college dorm room, where we used to sit on the bed and talk. Our hair is definitely better now, and we've acquired a great deal more life wisdom and experience, but personality wise, we are exactly the same people. And it is no surprise that the grown-up versions of us, are once again fast friends. What a delight to see in a woman the girl you were friends with 23 years ago. Unbelievable. The short story is that Robyn and I had an awesome time catching up and she was gracious beyond belief that I came in so late and commandeered her couch. I didn't think it was possible to like her more than I did when I was 16, but I think I do. Of course now we can talk about all the amazing places we've traveled instead of just the places we want to go. And we still have about the same taste in literature. But just like our 16 year old selves, we're still talking about boys (50 shades of Renner meets Efron's Mrs. Robinson?) It's good for the soul to catch up with an old friend. Watch out, Robyn, you just became one of my NYC traditions. Next year let's go back to my new favorite diner: Big Daddy's, 'cause next time I'm trying the Captain Crunch muffins.
So this year's Free Friday started with a leisurely diner breakfast with an old friend and a fairly late (for me) start out into the city. But some quick planning, with the help of Robyn's laptop, had me on my way with a vague logistical game plan. I headed down from the UWS to Midtown. I always stay in a hotel on Free Friday, despite having people who are willing to put me up, because this is one of the major points of the trip. To taste some autonomy. And as pathetic as this may make me, there is little I like more than staying in a hotel. Seriously. Doesn't even have to be a particularly nice one. I just love hotels. And when it comes to NYC, I like to stay in midtown because I have some weird kind of obsession with Grand Central. I love it. I don't really think I can even explain why. It's just one of the places in the world that makes me happy. And it shouldn't, right? It's crowded. With people who are gawking tourists, and people who are locals who hate the gawking tourists. But for whatever reason, the people-watching inherent in the crush of humanity? The soaring 125ft ceilings? I love it. And I always stay near it if possible.
Striking out from my midtown hotel I first headed over to The Morgan Library and Museum on Madison. Wow. I am always staggered by the immense wealth of the previous centuries. I mean, this really was someone's private library. Like when they wanted to refer back to a book they owned, it was there, on the shelf. In their private library. That has three story bookshelves. And an integrated vault to store rare manuscripts. Awesome. I especially loved that the library had three stories, but no visible means of accessing the upper stories. It seems that the staircases to access the second and third floors were hidden behind the bookcases. So I set about trying to see if I could locate them. Sure enough, after walking around the room, head down, scrutinizing the floor & moulding, I noticed curved scuff marks on the wood floor. Then I looked closer at the book cases directly in front of the scuff marks and found the hidden hinges. So. Freakin'. Cool. And their collection is, well, impressive seems like such an understatement. A Gutenberg bible? Check. Sheet music hand written by Mozart? Check. A Thoreau journal entry, dated Walden 1845? Check. And numerous other personal letters and original manuscripts by Keats, Dickens, Austen, Bronte, Lord Byron, Abraham Lincoln, Steinbeck, and Thomas Jefferson, to name a few. Oh, and there's a few pieces of art worth looking at, too…
My next stop was the Museum of the City of New York. Another first for me. This is one cool little museum way up on the Upper East Side on 5th at 103rd. They have a movie there called "Timescapes: A Multimedia Portrait of New York." It runs for about 20 minutes, is narrated by Stanley Tucci (whose voice I adore), and it is fascinating. It shows how Manhattan was settled, and even more engrossing, how it grew. It was the perfect companion piece to their current exhibition – The Greatest Grid: The Master Plan of Manhattan, 1811-2011. Wow was that cool. Tons of old survey maps and archival images, including the original 1811 hand-drawn map of the proposed grid of streets and avenues through Manhattan. What a stunning piece of city planning, and it is amazing to see how it was put into action and how it has grown. I was a big fan of this museum, and I'll definitely check their exhibit schedules on future visits.
Since I love to walk the city I decided that the 20 blocks to the Metropolitan Museum of Art would be a piece of cake. It was a bit chilly, a bit blustery, but come on, I was walking down 5th Avenue. Along the edge of Central Park. On my way to the Met. Yeah, you could say I didn't really feel the cold. Once I arrived, I was disappointed that my favorite painting, Pygmalion and Galatea by Gerome, is still languishing in the basement since being returned to the Met last summer after an outing to the Getty & the Musee d'Orsay. I would think they'd rush to put the lovely Galatea back on the walls. But alas, I went up the stairs, turned left, down the long hall, turned right, looked right, and no Pygmalion clutching his marble-turning-into-flesh love. Boo. I want my painting back. This makes three visits without it. And I'm missing her. But there was still much to be seen and little time to see it. I stuck mostly to the special exhibits: The Steins Collect, Durer and Beyond, Spies in the House of Art, and the rather titillating, Naked Before the Camera. Goodness, it's getting hot in here…
The reason I was in a bit of a hurry on Friday night was my desire to hear some live music. When I was preparing for my trip I was messing around online last Wednesday and just googled "live music NYC Friday". That is one thing that I have typically not taken advantage of during my visits to New York. Live music. And why not? I don't have the answer to that. But it was something I intended to change. I couldn't believe it when the first thing that popped up was Colin Hay, and according to Ticketmaster, there were tickets still available. But, it being Free Friday, I didn't want to pull the trigger on tickets and then be stuck with a place I had to be at a certain time. I decided to roll the dice, to gamble. Despite desperately wanting to go see Colin Hay live, I left it up to fate. Okay, so maybe my rather hasty exit from the Met was a little bit of an encouragement for fate. But I made my way quickly to my hotel, changed clothes, and headed straight back out to a little venue called The Town Hall, just a few blocks from my oh-so-conveniently located midtown hotel. Sure enough, single tickets still available, and I even got an orchestra seat for a balcony price. It's so funny to me, if I had heard that Colin Hay was coming to Jacksonville I would have purchased tickets months in advance, made specific plans, it would have been, to me, a very big deal. But here I am in New York City, roll up to the box office when the opening act is already on stage, and secure a seat on the floor. Now that's the way to take advantage of a Free Friday. And Colin Hay? Amazing. He's still got that Men at Work lilt to his voice, and it was fun for him to play some of the band's old songs. And he had some cool new stuff, too. But let's face it, I was mostly there to hear him sing "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You" and "Overkill." He did not disappoint. But what I did not expect was the fact that Colin Hay is as much a storyteller live, as he is a musician. Highly entertaining. Overall, a wonderful experience.
But then it's 10pm, and you're alone in the city, so what do you do? Text a friend and see if they want to meet for drinks, of course. And that's how I found myself taking the subway back up to Dorrian's at 84th and 2nd. Love me the uptown 6. Now I'm not going to rehash the rest of my Friday night, but suffice it to say that I was reacquainted with one of my favorite New York City-dwelling partners in crime, none other than the original Crazy Yankee Chick. Kris is a fellow W&L alum, though of a decidedly younger class. We met while I was in law school and she was an undergrad. She was a theatre major fulfilling college credit while playing an Indian with an Irish brogue. I was a law student shirking my reading while playing a Mexican. Yeah, that seems about right. Exactly the stuff a lifelong friendship is built on. Anyway, she's become one of my favorite people in the world. Mostly because she's one of the coolest I know, and yet, for some strange reason, she thinks I'm cool. Clearly we're both messed in the head. But she is 1/4 of the crew that takes in a Yankees game each spring, the centerpiece of my annual trip to NYC. And for a little pre-game entertainment, we met Friday night at Dorrian's. There may or may not have been drinking, ridiculing of scantily-clothed drunk girls, her shutting down flirty, but clearly unimpressive boys, a side trip down the street to another establishment that had a beer pong table, meeting some of her closest guy friends (every tomboy has them!), and some unintentionally illegal behavior. Is ignorance of the law a good defense? Perhaps I should have paid more attention in law school instead of doing so many plays.
Anyway, Bonus Thursday and Free Friday 2012 were a great success. I reconnected with an old friend, visited new places, visited favorite places, heard an amazing musician sing to my soul, and cavorted as if I were a much younger person in the presence of one of my favorite much younger people. Overall, not a bad 36 hours. But of course, it was only the beginning…
Next installment… How I spent my Saturday. Alternate title? Bananas in the Bronx: Episode IV

More Thoughts on Going Nowhere
Molly Booker has been a Providence residence for 11 years, and is an embed in the Olneyville arts community.
"Going Nowhere: Alumni Artists in Providence," currently on display at the Bell Gallery, actually feels like the artists have been in conversation with each other — perhaps visiting studio spaces, or going to the same shows, or, maybe even, somehow ending up dating the same people. The works in the exhibition, curated by Jori Ketten with Alexis Lowry Murray, are an Armillaria ostoyae of Providence; a many-headed fungus with a single deep-running root.
Breathe in, for instance, the absolute love of line in David Udris' compact and complex prints, then wander over to the works of Kevin Hooyman for a much more narrative take on the theme. Or, remember the texture and playfulness of Tatyana Yanishevsky's installations as you absorb Xander Marro's quilts… and from there, riff off of Xander's colors, patterns, and the placement of individual elements within the compositions as you peruse over to Jenny Nichols' "Crash's Law," "Blues Dogs" and "Green Dogs."
García Márquez would have agreed with Hooyman's larger pieces – particularly the magnetism of the mutedly colored panels. Foster Wallace (if you've read anything he's written about Kafka) would have dug Peter Glantz' Chronos-inspired tale of pending fatherhood. In fact, there is something grandchild-of-Kafka-like in the root of this whole big mushroom: something unspeakably magical happened to me, then I discovered how small and insignificant I am. But hey – guess what? I am still unspeakably magical.
Thoughts on Going Nowhere
Kath Connolly '89, is an educator who lives and makes in Providence, RI. She was a founder of New Urban Arts and Card Carrying Liberal, an activist greeting card company. She still reads news in print.
There are so many of us Going Nowhere. When Providence was fondly known as The Armpit of New England and the pedestrian route from the east side to downtown involved an area known as Suicide Circle, there were people who said, "Oh yeah, this is a place." If you fell more in love with Providence than the Ivy League you might hide your Brown affiliation a little in the neighborhoods where you chose to live and work and create. For the first time I've seen, Going Nowhere invited the Still Here artists back to campus.
While Providence's "art scene" is now touted in glossy magazines and has an office in city hall, what makes it work is the less alphabetized quality it has retained. Going Nowhere captured the in-between-ness, color, and edge that I saw when I arrived in Providence in the 80s and that keeps me here paying taxes. Hooyman's water color / ink narratives alone made me want to sit quietly for another hour or so. David Udris's digital prints (wasn't he or his brother in that Marxist literary theory seminar I got lost in?) encouraged my mind to swim.
I loved that this show popped up the second the campus emptied of its officialness. After the pomp, the Going Nowheres wandered over to campus for their own pomp, which included free hummus on the lawn outside List. When I was a first year, registering for the intro studio class meant sleeping on that lawn.
Perhaps it is the open nature of the curriculum that attracts/ breeds people willing to fight through bureaucracy for an idea (or to register for intro art), but many Brown grads are organizers. Many alumni artists who are Still Here have enabled festivals, spaces, film series, parades, non-profits, bike rides, protests, noisy things, and things that happened only once under the cover of darkness. Those are the things that make Providence a community.
