Response to A Liberal Israel Group Has Its Moment:
what the hell is this puffed up promo piece for J Street doing on buzzfeed? J Street deserves next to no credit for restarting the new "peace" negotiations that anyone actually acquainted with Middle East history and politics knows will produce nothing but hot air, frustration and more violence.
the "historical background" for 1, 3, 6 & 7 (the only ones in the Tanach, the Jewish Bible) are absolutely WRONG! whoever wrote this has clearly not actually read these verses in context. Here's a much more accurate context and background for those who are interested. 1) the Jews were exiled from Judea (Israel) to Babylon. Psalm 137 is a bitter lament of the Babylonian Exile and destruction of Judea. The verse before (Psalms 137:8) is "Babylon, you predator, a blessing on him who repays you in kind for what you have inflicted on us", verse 9 means basically the same thing, but in somewhat more graphic terms. Remember this was written to express the feelings of people who had just been brutally conquered and were being dragged into exile and slavery. 3) This one is a sloppy translation. I have no idea what reunification a century before Jeremiah the author is talking about because there wasn't one. Remember, Jeremiah is a book of prophecy. This verse is part of a prophecy that if you, People of Israel, don't improve things are going to get so bad that people will end up eating their children which sadly, did happen during the Babylonian siege and destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE. see Eicha (Lamentations). 6) Okay so there's no real way to understand it other than we don't know the whole context and the fact that it was God's will for some reason. But it was Eliyahu (Elijah) that ascended to heaven not Elisha. 7) If you think I'm going to touch this issue on a public forum on the internet you are wrong.

Response to 15 Reasons We Love Our Jewish Moms:
STOP STOP STOP WITH THE RIDICULOUS OUTDATED JEWISH STEREOTYPES!! not all Jewish moms are controlling, force-feeding and obsessed with their children marrying doctors! most of these stereotypes were only ever slightly relevant and/or funny over 50 years ago when most US Jews were children of eastern European Jewish immigrants. this is the 2nd "Jewish mom" thing on buzzfeed in 2 days. it may not be overt racism but it's an obnoxious trivialization of Jews and Judaism.
The fact that most American Jews think that this nonsense is the essence of Judaism is why we're assimilating and disappearing at such alarming rates.

as a completely liberated Orthodox Jewish woman I really really appreciate this post! I have dealt with every single one of these ridiculous stereotypes and more. kol hakavod Jew in the City! fellow readers, If you want more information about Judaism you should check out:
The very basic basics of keeping kosher are only eating animals that both have split hooves and chew their cud (cows, sheep, goats etc.), only fish that have both fins and scales, & only birds that are on a list in the Torah (but basically no birds of prey). Animals are slaughtered in a process called schita which is designed to minimize their pain as much as possible (Judaism cares a whole lot about preventing animal cruelty). We don't mix meat and dairy products. We check our fruits & veggies to make sure there are no bugs in them and remove all blood from our meat because bugs & blood are also not kosher.
For more information google "kosher" or "kashrut" (the noun form of kosher) or check out http://www.myjewishlearning.com/practices/Ritual/Kashrut_Dietary_Laws/Kashrut_101.shtml
- superjewgirl48 "13 Annoying Things Most People Assume..." and thinks it's Win
Response to Michelle Williams Photo Sparks Controversy:
Of course it's offensive. I think the general rule of thumb should be that you should not use the culturally or religiously significant symbols and clothes of any group of people alive in the world today, that you are not a part of, for a costume or fashion statement. For example, it is not offensive to dress up at an Ancient Roman for Halloween because they are all long dead but if Gucci's summer line was covered in Stars of David or I saw someone dressed up as a Jew at a costume party I'd sure as hell have a problem with that.
tell me what city you're in an I can help you find a seder. yay for Jews and Muslims who don't hate each other!
I think it was really misleading of the author to call the diet in this article "kosher", at best it might be some kind of "kosher-style". Kashrut (noun form of kosher) is clearly defined in Halacha (Jewish law), yes there are slight differences between different Jewish communities from different countries but all of them agree that if you are eating in a restaurant that can serve you a cheeseburger, YOU ARE NOT KEEPING KOSHER. I think it's great that not-so-observant Jews try to be mindful of kosher restrictions even if they aren't really keeping kosher but don't tell me it's just another kind of keeping kosher, because it's NOT. I'm a 100% kosher keeping Jew and I think that a big part of the value of keeping kosher, other than being Torah law, is that it teaches us that the whole world is not there for us blindly consume, we have to think about and know what we are putting into our bodies and build self-control and restraint.

Kurdish Yazidi doctor and activist received the "International Women of Courage Award" presented by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Washington on Tuesday.
Dr. Nagham Nawzat Hasan is a Kurdish gynaecologist, activist and a member of the country's persecuted Kurdish Yazidi minority, was one of 14 women to receive Courage Award this year.
She works with Yazidi girls kidnapped and raped by Islamic State (IS) militants.
"Fourteen leaders, fourteen role models, fourteen women of courage, one crystal clear message," said Secretary of State John Kerry.
"Don't accept the unacceptable or wait for someone else to step up. Act in the name of justice. Act in the name of tolerance. Act on behalf of truth."
All but one of the honorees were able to attend the ceremony in Washington, an annual event that began in 2007 to encourage women's empowerment.
Islamic State group has captured most parts of Sinjar (Shingal) district in northwest Iraq on August 3, 2014 which led thousands of Kurdish families to flee to Mount Sinjar, where they were trapped in it and suffered from significant lack of water and food, killing and abduction of thousands of Yazidis as well as rape and captivity of thousands of women.
Thousands of Yazidi women and girls are still held captive by the militants who subject them to sexual slavery.
EU parliament recognizes Islamic State killing of Yazidi Kurds as genocide on Feb. 4, 2016 while the U.S. declares Islamic State 'committed genocide' against Yazidi Kurds, Christians on on March 16.

One more problem A fluid is just like a gas creating outward pressure in all directions.
Pressure can be represented as Pressure= Force/Area Fluids in its simplest form Fluids exerts a net upward force on any object. Archimedes Principle and Buoyancy Fluid Flow and Continuity Food for thought... When you turn on a hose the water flowing through it is slow... What do you do at the end of the hose to make it flow faster. IMPORTANT! Fluids are now applied to the work energy theorem. Relationship between pressure, speed and height of the fluid. The Adventures of Pressure Fluids Important as well is the density of a fluid. known as the letter p or Rho. Density=Mass/Volume Hydrostatic pressure or still fluid is determined by Depth and Density. key idea: The deeper in a fluid the more pressure is felt.
Equation P=Po+pgh This is called absolute pressure. The pgh is gauge pressure. Or P-Po Example: A water bed is 2.0 m on a side an 30.0 cm deep.
(a) Find its weight if the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.
(b) Find the pressure the that the water bed exerts on the floor. Assume that the
entire lower surface of the bed makes contact with the floor. Example of pressure varying at depths is a barometer.
Key Concept: Water likes to seek its own level. U shaped tube. Pascals Principle: An external pressure is applied to an inclosed incompressible static fluid. The energy is transmitted undiminished through the fluid.
Example: Hydraulic lift. Use P=F/A to find the pressure in the first cylinder then insert that into the second P=F/A for the opposing cylinder. Advantage to this is a small area piston can move a large mass with little pressure. If the area is 100 times greater on one side through the equations we can see that it would mean our force was magnified 100 times. EXAMPLE This is buoyancy The force can be found by the equation F=pgV Archimedes' principle An object fully submerged in a fluid will experience an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Example: A cube of steel that measures 5.0 cm on each side is immersed in water. The density of steel is 9.0 x 103 kg/m3. The density of water is 1.0 x 103 kg/m3. What is the (a) buoyant force acting on the cube and what is (b) its apparent weight? Ideas:
The buoyancy formula can be used to find the density of a body and then used to find the percentage of body fat.
Also through the equation Vsub=Vs(ps/pf) the amount of an object floating below the fluid level can be found.
Floatation: The block example.
The metal example.
Change buoyancy the density needs to change.
Apparent weight is the difference between the actual weight and the buoyant force. This is know as fluid flow. In a straight system the fluid will not be gained or lost.
The equation AV=A2V2 can be used to find different portions of incompressible fluid passing through certain parts of the system. The concept of continuity can only be used in a system that has
no bends in the system. Example: You turn on the hose to water your sassafras garden. When the hose is turned on the water starts to flow at a rate of 5 m/s. The hose goes from .005 m to .0025m at the end of the hose. What is the new speed of the water. Bernoulli Key idea: The faster a fluid flows the less pressure there is. Reasoning the fire hose. Key Idea: As height increases in a pipe the pressure decreases. Combine the two ideas and you get the complete Bernoulli equation: Applications of Bernoulli:
Paper example.
Air Planes force faster air on top of the wing and slower on the bottom of the wing to create lift. There are basically two ways to make fluid flow through a pipe. One way is to tilt the pipe so the flow is downhill, this means gravitational kinetic energy is transformed to kinetic energy. The second way is to make the pressure at one end of the pipe larger than the pressure at the other end. A pressure difference is like a net force, producing acceleration of the fluid.
As long as the fluid flow is steady, and the fluid is non-viscous and incompressible, the flow can be considered on an energy perspective. Example: Consider a geyser that shoots water 25 m into the air. How fast is the water traveling when it emerges from the ground? If the water originates in a chamber 35 m below the ground, what is the pressure there? Key Formulas Pressure= p=f/a
hydrostatic pressure= Po+pgh
Pascals= F'=FA'/A
Archimedes= Fb=W displaced
Continuity= Av=Av

Shoppers often ask for a recommendation on local eateries. And Ron (the owner) has embarrassingly pointed them in the direction of fast food joints on Main Street. Fortunately, Springfield is host to not only the best antiques in the mid-west but also some really tasty local cuisine. We decided to put together a list of places we think best represents Springfield, Ohio:
Best described as a "local treasure" and we couldn't agree more. The food here is great and the prices are well fitting for what you receive; we can promise you won't leave here unsatisfied. Along side their food items, Mike and Rosey's carries a wide selection of wine and beer, which go wonderfully with the warm atmosphere they provide. Located only a short drive from the shop at 330 W. McCreight Ave, we recommend Mike & Rosey's to anyone looking for an old school deli dining experience.
#2: O'Connor's
If you're looking to relax from your day of antiquing or you're just taking your family out for a good meal, we recommend O'Connor's Irish Pub. O'Connor's is the place to go when you're looking for some steak, burgers, and wings, all at very reasonable prices. O'connor's has a full bar and a brand new location on the north side of Springfield ( 2200 N. Limestone St ).
#3: Schuler's
Schuler's Bakery has been one of Springfield's hidden gems since 1937, when they introduced us to some of the best donuts found in the state. Their donuts are made fresh daily with no added preservatives. They have three locations (457 E Main St., 1911 S Limestone St., and 2968 Derr Rd) which are located conveniently on all sides of the city. Schuler's Bakery is the perfect place to grab some sweets along your antiquing adventure.
Did we miss your favorite local restaurant? Let us know in the comment section!
We're supporting the Buckeyes with a Sugar Bowl Sale. On Friday, January 2 all shoppers will get 10% off for every OSU touchdown. That's right…every touchdown gets you an extra 10% off your purchase. This is uncapped and Ron (the owner) isn't very happy about this sale. He's tried to pull a fast one on us. Like bringing in a bunch of vintage sugar bowls and saying that's the limit of the sale. He joked and said if OSU scores more than five touchdowns that he won't open the store. He even tried to change the sign at the last minute and put 5% off.
He fought us on this. But we won!
So fear not vintage lovers and deal seekers. We're sticking with the game plan. You will get 10% off for every touchdown. We hope the Buckeyes put up six touchdowns, trounce the Tide, roll into the National Championship, and everyone gets 60% off their purchase. Ron is hoping they win 3-0. Regardless, he'll be glued to the TV Friday night. Will you?
Spring is in full swing and Summer is just around the corner! Join us as we host our second Community Yard Sale on Saturday, May 31 from 9am – 3pm.

The experts at Vintage Depot offer these tips to help you have a successful yard sale:
We've completed more than our fair share of DIY jobs over the years, so we'd like to share some keys to a successful upcycle project for you craft enthusiasts. Ultimately, the best projects involve the following four T's: tools, temperature, time, and talent.
TOOLS. By far, the most important element of a successful upcycle project is having the right tools for the job. Without the proper tools, the project can take much longer than expected, potentially damage the piece you're working on, and create major headaches. Before you get started, ensure you have the right tools. Either make the investment or borrow them from someone else (just make sure you give them back when done!).
TEMPERATURE. Living in Ohio means you have to deal with crazy weather. It could be 60 degrees and sunny one day, then cold and snowing the next (which literally happened last week). This means that projects are often put on hold due to Mother Nature. If your workspace is not climate controlled, you could freeze your butt off while sanding or end up waiting forever for paint to dry (in fact, certain materials can only be applied above 50 degrees). Just keep your cool (pun intended!) and be patient. Learn to take advantage of those sunny days and use the down time on dreary days to research your next project.
TIME. Ok, so you have the right tools and great weather… now you just have to find time to complete the project. Keep in mind that upcycling a piece is not an overnight job. There are usually several steps involved (e.g., disassembly, sanding, stripping, painting, re-assembly, etc.) and many steps require down time. We often piece-meal our work. Meaning, we start one step then call it a day until we find the time to complete the second step. Rinse and repeat until all the steps are complete (hey, that rhymed!).
TALENT. We're sure you've seen some fabulous projects on Pinterest. Trust us, for every awesome project posted there are several others that didn't turn out so well. We're not saying this to discourage you, but you were not born a carpenter. This is a skill that requires lots of practice and years of experience. Remember that old saying, practice makes perfect? We often recommend to our customers that they take the time to research their project inside and out, and to start off small before diving into larger and more expense endeavors. Ron, for example, has been upcycling for over 40 years!
When you tackle your next project, just remember the four T's! What's next on your DIY list?
We have a confession: we. love. cast. iron.
And we have a lot of vintage cast iron cookware in the shop – all the top brands, from Griswold to Wagner to Lodge and a few others as well. If you're looking for a solid cast iron skillet or pan, vintage is the way to go. If the pan is rusty or greasy, buy it anyway! As long as it doesn't have any cracks or nicks, you can easily clean it, season it and use it for years to come.
1) Cast iron cookware heats evenly & can transfer from stovetop to oven
2) It is affordable
3) Cast iron lasts a lifetime (literally) with proper care
4) It's a great way to cook fat-free
5) Cast iron cookware will not warp
Believe it or not, you actually use less oil when cooking with a cast iron skillet. If you are using a well-seasoned pan, it will be rendered virtually nonstick. Which means there's no need to use a ton of oil to brown your food.
Another benefit to cast iron is that it does not contain the harmful chemicals found in most nonstick pans. However, it will leach some iron into your food – which is actually a good thing, as iron deficiencies are quite common, especially in women.
Many people claim to dislike cast iron because "everything sticks to the pan." Actually, if food is sticking to the pan, this simply means that it is not seasoned properly.
To season a cast iron pan means to create a slick coating by baking on several coats of oil (to protect against rust and to create a nice, nonstick cooking surface). Here's how you do it:
1) Rub your pan with a thin coat of extra virgin olive oil
2) Wipe off the oil with some paper towels
3) Place a sheet of aluminum foil in a 450-degree oven and set the pan upside-down on the foil
4) Bake it for about 30 minutes
5) Pull the pan from the oven and let it cool completely
6) Repeat the above steps 3-4 times
A well-seasoned pan is like a good wine – it only gets better with age and will last for many years!
You can cook almost any food in a cast iron pan or skillet, using any method: deep frying, searing and even baking. Use it on the stove top, on the grill or in the oven.
Pro Tip: always pre-heat your cast iron pan BEFORE using it.
Never, ever put cast iron in the dishwasher! Here are some quick steps for cleaning:
1) Let your cookware cool.
2) Wash it with dishwashing soap and water (never let it soak!), rinse thoroughly and dry it with paper towels.
3) Place the cleaned pan on a heated stove burner for a couple of minutes to ensure it is bone dry. Then, apply a very light coating of oil to the inside of the pan and spread it around with a paper towel.
4) If your pan gets rusty, just scour the rust with steel wool until it's all gone. Then, repeat steps 1-3 above.
You know what they say: once you go cast iron, you never go back!
With 2014 upon us, this is a time to reflect on the past year and look to the upcoming one with anticipation and hope. For all of us at Vintage Depot, 2013 holds some very special memories of our first year in business. Take a trip down memory lane with us, and tell us: what were some of your favorite memories of 2013?
December 2012: Vintage Depot officially opened its doors for business at 2905 E High Street. The brand identity was finalized, thanks in part to an open vote by our Facebook community.
April 2013: We were featured in SpringfieldB2B Magazine!
May 2013: Another Extravaganza in the books. Did you know that, as a buyer, seller, and collector of antiques, Ron maintains the same booth at the Springfield Flea Market since his first show over 35 years ago? You can't miss us, right outside the Arts & Crafts building!
July 2013: For the 9th year in a row, we participated in the 127 Corridor Sale – The World's Longest Yard Sale in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.
September 2013: We hosted our first annual Community Yard Sale. With around 20 vendors and a huge community turnout, the day was a fun-filled success and we look forward to holding 2 more next year!
November 2013: We participated in Small Business Saturday – the Saturday following Black Friday, which places an emphasis on supporting local businesses.
December 2013: Happy 1st Birthday, Vintage Depot! We had a fantastic turnout for our one-year celebration and finished the year strong.
Today's edition of "Upcycled" is inspired by a set of cheap, plastic, 70's-retro stackable end tables that we had lying around. These tables are the perfect size for a dorm room or cozy apartment or condo, where space is limited. We gave them a little face lift to modernize, neutralize and make them fit for any style of decor. Read on to find out how we did it!
What You'll Need: textured spray paint (we love the Krylon White Onyx Make it Stone); patterned scrapbook paper; Mod Podge adhesive; paint brush; Mod Podge clear acrylic sealer
1) Wipe down the tables to ensure there is no residual dust. Take them outside and lay down cardboard or newspaper so that the spray paint doesn't stain your deck / patio / grass / driveway. What we love about the Krylon textured spray paints is that no additional surface prep is needed. So, just spray away!
2) You WILL need to apply multiple coats to the tables (we did 3 total, but it depends on how thick a coat you want, and if you'd like to see any of the original color/material through the texturized paint). Be sure to let the first coat dry almost completely before adding another layer (30-45 minutes in the sun).
3) Next, you will apply your patterned paper to the top. Simply brush a layer of the Mod Podge onto the BACK (white) side of the paper and press down on top of the table. You will need to press out all of the little air bubbles to be sure the paper lies flat. Once it is adhered to the table top, apply another thick layer of Mod Podge over top of the paper (don't worry, it will dry clear). Let it dry completely (1 hour in the sun).
4) Once the Mod Podge has dried, apply a coat of the clear acrylic sealer.

Keep an eye out for our next community event in December, when Vintage Depot celebrates its 1st birthday!
Today's edition of "Upcycled" is brought to you by a very special guest blogger. Rebecca Odell is a digital marketer by day; DIY-er and interior design enthusiast by night. She recently acquired one of the dressers for sale in our shop and upcycled it into a shabby chic piece that is versatile enough to be used in just about any room of her home. Read on to find out how she did it!
We all know someone who pins Pinterest projects with no intention of ever recreating them. And let me be the first to say that I am often guilty as charged. As a self-diagnosed Pinterest addict, I constantly pin furniture upcycle projects from my favorite DIY bloggers. I've always envied their ability to create gorgeous custom pieces without breaking the bank and swore I'd turn my "must recreate this!" pins into reality one day.
Like many 20-somethings, I'm trying to fill my home with great signature pieces on a budget. When I came across a solid maple six-drawer dresser at Vintage Depot, I knew it was finally time to join the upcycling club. The base, drawers and hardware were in great shape, but the wood finish wasn't my style. I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.
Painting prep seemed intimidating and time consuming, but I'm happy I took each step seriously. A little elbow grease makes painting far less frustrating in the end.
Step One: I kicked off the project by taking out the drawers, removing all hardware and cleaning the dresser's interior with a 50/50 water and vinegar mix. This helped remove any musty smells associated with an older furniture piece. The vinegar smell disappears once it dries: promise. {Estimated time: 30 minutes}
Step Two: As mentioned before, the dresser was in beautiful shape: but the top needed some major TLC. My dad recommended using a paint & varnish stripper to remove existing varnish. I sprayed the stripper (I used Citristrip) on the top, waited 30 minutes and scraped the varnish away with a putty knife. I repeated this step to remove all existing varnish. {Estimated time: 1 hour plus drying}
Step Three: I cleaned the dresser base and drawers with rubbing alcohol. Once the alcohol dried, I used a medium-grit sanding block to rough up the dresser and prepare it for paint. A tack cloth helped remove sand dust. {Estimated time: 1 hour}
Step One: I originally planned to paint the dresser dusty blue, but once I came across Sherwin Williams' White Raisin, I knew yellow was the winner. White Raisin is the perfect yellow in my book: not too golden and not too pastel. Two coats could have done the job, but I opted for three coats to be safe. {Estimated time: 2.5 hours plus drying}
Step Two: I adored the dresser's original hardware, but it looked brassy. I spray painted the hardware with Rust-Oleum's Dark Bronze Hammered Metal Finish Spray, and after two coats, it looked brand new. I purchased new ceramic knobs for the top dresser drawers and spray painted the metal inserts to match existing hardware. {Estimated time: 15 minutes plus drying}
Step Three: Once everything dried, I finalized the project by attaching the hardware and putting the drawers in place. I will eventually finish the top with a protective coat (polycrylic or wax) to fight wear and tear.
I'm so glad I decided to take the plunge and create a custom piece for less than $100. Similar dressers (brand new, of course) would retail at $500 or more. I'm looking forward to upcycling my next Vintage Depot piece!
$55 Six-drawer Vintage Depot dresser
$18 Supplies (Varnish stripper, drop cloth, sandpaper, putty knife, etc)
$14 Paint and spray paint
$8 Four ceramic knobs (Purchased at Hobby Lobby for 50% off)
Project total: $95
Total time: 5.25 hours (plus drying)

text: The Commerce Department data released today show corporate spending as represented by durable goods orders dipped in February, indicating the manufacturing sector may not have bottomed out as thought after upbeat January figures. The headline number dropped 2.8% following a downwardly revised 4.2% rise seen in January. Non-defense capital goods orders except aircraft, a proxy for future business investment, declined 1.8%, compared to the estimated drop of 0.5%. Again, January figure was revised lower to 3.1% from 3.4%. Shipments of those goods, used in calculating gross domestic product, unexpectedly declined 1.1% after a revised 1.3% drop the previous month. Durable goods figure contradicts regional Fed manufacturing indices released so far, which have shown moderate rebound in the activity. For more information, read our latest forex news.

Roger Federer has advanced to the semifinals of the Australian Open, this after beating Mischa Zverev, and is now the oldest player to reach a Slam semifinal since Jimmy Connors, then 39, reached the U.S. Open in 1991.
Even more interesting, perhaps, is Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have already lost. That means that Federer, 35, could win his first major since 2012 and become to oldest man to win a Grand Slam since 1972.
"People feel like they're caught in a time warp down in Australia right now," New York Times global sports columnist Christopher Clarey said on CBS Sports Radio's After Hours with Amy Lawrence. "The whole thing is just crazy. You've got people in their mid-30s right and left in the semis between the Williams sister, between Federer and between Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, who's a fantastic story. She's almost 35 and made her first Grand Slam semi in 18 years today. So the whole thing is just a big flashback and Federer is part of it. The court down here on center court is playing a bit quickly this year. I think it's benefitting the players like Roger who love attacking tennis. It's been a big revival, the whole thing."
Federer will face Stan Wawrinka in the semis.
On the women's side, Serena Williams, 35, will face Lucic-Baroni, 34, while Venus Williams, 36, will face CoCo Vandeweghe, 25. Three U.S. women haven't reached the semifinals of the same Grand Slam since 2002 at the U.S. Open.
"CoCo Vandeweghe has got lots of personality and lots of power, so it's been kind of fun," Clarey said. "Obviously she's from a big sports family with Kiki and Ernie and the Knicks and the NBA and all that, so it's fun to have that connection. She's trying to make her own way. She's got a lot of potential. We've known that for a while. She's had trouble controlling her power, been a bit erratic, and again, I think this quick court is playing to her advantage, and she's just played some stunning tennis in the last couple of rounds.
Vandeweghe beat Angelique Kerber, who is ranked No. 1 in the world, and Garbine Muguruza, who won the French Open.
In other news, Andy Roddick will be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame this summer in Newport, Rhode Island.
"He was really humble about it, which I believe is the right tone to take," Clarey said. "As he said himself, he's not Roger, he's not Serena. He's not an automatic person in the Hall of Fame. He only won one Grand Slam, but I think he got in based on his consistency over the years. He reached four other Slam finals. If he hadn't been in the Federer era, he certainly would have won Wimbledon. He's a real Davis Cup trooper at a time when our country doesn't really follow the Davis Cup, the team competition, much anymore. And he was No. 1 in the world. So I think he deserved it, but I liked the way he talked about it. I think he has it in proper perspective. It's something that he was hoping to get, and when he got it, he was pretty emotional about it."

Your Business Minute 2 — How to Stand Out from Your Competitors
What's one of the first questions that people ask you about your business? Your answer establishes your brand.
What will customers see and hear about you when they search online for the products and services they want today? How your business looks, sounds and comes across on the web defines your brand.
Or, as Mike Dektas, CEO and president of The Creative Storm, says, today's customers are smart and they look around for businesses that will meet their immediate needs. That they've bought from you before does not mean they will buy from you again.
You must be clear and quickly help customers understand which of their problems you will solve today.
Better yet, how will you help them right now?
"What the benefit is to them is how you sell your brand to make it different — not telling how your brand is really great."
That's Mike Dektas again, talking about toning down the sales pitch in favor of providing answers. With three decades as a marketing and advertising executive, Dektas will tell you that, yes, a visually attractive logo and color palette are important to establishing your business brand. So is having a catchy slogan along with a consistent design for your sales sheets, brochures, direct mail pieces and for your website and email, too.
To create these assets, however, you will first need to define your brand and that has less to do with how your sales sheets and website look and everything to do with how well they explain what you can do — right now — for customers.
Customers don't want to hear your sales pitch
That's not your brand, unless you want to be known for being annoying. They have no time to listen to or read your claims of being the best in your field, having the biggest inventory or the most experienced staff. All of these may be true but they not your brand, either.
All customers know is they have problem they're trying to solve and they are seeking someone to do that, Dektas points out.
You will establish your brand by showing how your products and services work, and how what you provided solved similar problems for other customers. Your brand will become clear when customers find you ranked high in search results. They will see what you can do for them when your website is quickly navigated, can be read easily on their smartphones, and contains clear calls to action.
That is, simply, what do you want them to do next?
Critical Questions You Must Answer
Here's the first three questions to ask yourself in search of your brand's identity.
Why am I in business?
Your answer reveals your motivation, your strengths and expertise — what you're good at.
Who do you want to do business with?
Your answer describes your ideal customer, your location compared to theirs, the kinds of problems you are prepared to solve.
What's unique, special or different about what you sell?
Your answer starts down the path toward the information customers really want. Skip the adjectives (Best, newest, cutting-edge). Instead describe features, functions, services and outcomes in specific terms. Exactly what do you do and how does it work?
Your answer creates the outline of what you want customers to know about your business. And what they know becomes your brand.
What's Worked for You?
Tell us how you define your brand, what steps you followed to identify it, how you explain it to customers, and how you the image and message for your business clear and easy to understand.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Standing with first lady Michelle Obama in the historic East Room of the White House to accept the nation's highest honor for museums and libraries on behalf of the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana was simply "the highlight of my career," said Joe Adams, president of the center, after the ceremony.
The Discovery Science Center was one of 10 recipients of the 2013 National Medal for Museum and Library Service, which is presented to organizations that make a difference for individuals, families and community. More than 200 recipients, their associates, members of Congress and others attended the Wednesday afternoon ceremony.
"It is amazing to be at the White House," Adams said. "It's emotional." He has been president of the center since 2003, and was quick to share the credit for the science center's recognition. "This is the story of the whole community, supporting and growing the science center."
The first lady told the audience, "You help people across this country become more informed and engaged in our communities. You teach our young people about our history, and you inspire them to play a role in shaping our future. And I know this work isn't easy – not at all. I know that many of our libraries and museums are dealing with tight budgets and juggling more and more demands with fewer resources," Obama said.
"But instead of scaling back your missions, you all are expanding them. You're reaching out to underserved populations, taking on issues like poverty and illiteracy. You're partnering with schools and community organizations, finding new ways to share your resources as widely as possible," she said.
Adams was joined in representing the Discovery Science Center by Kate Upton, 23, who grew up in Orange and has had a long association with the center.
"I feel awesome," Upton said after the ceremony. "I'm just so excited to be here and represent the Science Center; they've been such a big part of my life."
Upton credits the Discovery Science Center for awakening and encouraging her interest in science. She first visited the center as a small child with her mother, then volunteered, then ran the volunteer operation and for a time worked there.
Upton graduated from the University of Evansville (Ind.) with a bachelor of science degree in chemistry, with minors in math and physics, and is on her way to earning a doctorate at Caltech in Pasadena in 2016.
Her dissertation involves one of Saturn's moons, Titan, and she is studying organic molecules of the atmosphere and potential precursors for life.
She is also working on instrumentation for landing vehicles, collaborating with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA Ames Research Center.
She says the Discovery center taught her that science can be learned in many ways. In fact, that approach has been one of the distinguishing features of Adams' tenure. For instance, "Bubblefest XVII" might look like bubble-blowing entertainment, but the point is to teach a little about surface tension, elasticity, air pressure, geometry and molecular properties. It is advertised as good, clean family fun.
Coming up is the center's annual Rocket Launch at Boeing Co., with activities such as designing, building and launching a rocket made from a 2-liter plastic soda bottle.
Discovery Science Center's reach has tripled over the past decade, counting the 526,000 visitors the center had last year, as well as the more than 200,000 children reached through its educational programs.
Adams ascribed the center's growth to four factors: focus on students and what they need to know; establishing programs that are more deeply engaging with the community than just housing a collection; an emphasis on environment and stewardship; and aggressively moving programs into schools, be it during school, after school or through teacher training. Adams came to the science center from Walt Disney Co., where he was involved in the design and construction of theme parks, including California Adventure in Anaheim.
The center's board of directors has grown to upwards of 40 members, and a $62 million capital campaign was launched in September to fund expansion in Santa Ana, with the first phase scheduled to break ground later this year.
Corporate support, such as from Taco Bell and Boeing, has long been part of the picture, and last year the center received a $7 million competitive grant from the state of California.
Separately, the center will be taking over the defunct Children's Museum of Los Angeles, with funding coming from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Bureau of Sanitation, which will have exhibits at the museum, and other sources.
These are the kinds of accomplishments that caught the attention of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Discovery Science Center was one of 200 nominations, which were winnowed to 33 finalists, a group that included the Santa Ana Public Library.
The Discovery Science Center was chosen in part because it has "embraced environmental education as a core area of learning, and its programs, exhibits, and immersive experiences are positively affecting behavior," said Susan Hildreth, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, in a statement.
One fan of the Discovery Science Center is Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Santa Ana, who attended and gave a little cheer to Adams and Upton as they joined Obama, and snapped photos of them with the plaque.
Obama reminded the audience that the White House was something of a museum, too. The small stage was set up between a full-length 1797 portrait by Gilbert Stuart of George Washington, which has hung in the room since 1800, and a later portrait of his wife, Martha Washington.
Guests were invited to a reception nearby, and Obama invited everyone to "have some cookies. We'll put Let's Move on hold for just a couple of cookies."
Register staff writer Ron Gonzales contributed to this report from Santa Ana.

I worked with a group of would-be migrants at the Casa de los Inmigrantes, Tecate. These would-be immigrants were shipped back across the US-Mexico border by the US border police.
We worked with them in a hypnosis session and asked them to visualize three successive relationships of themselves in regards to: a person, their home and their surroundings.
In a trance state, they were asked to express their feelings as a shape or form. For example, a feeling of anxiety may be imagined as sharp and fragmented, and a state of well being translates as a softer, rounder form: in this way a form is imagined that relates to an emotional experience.
One subject imagined a claustrophobic shape that seemed to be made of two interlocking cubes. His description was then translated into an emotion-form. In our attempt to materialize this form we used various mediums, including drawings, oil on canvas,an installation involving an inflatable sculpture, video and stereo-lithography.
The process is multi-disciplinary and collaborative and involved contributions from Lourdes Huerta, Bernardo Navarro and Fred Olszak. At all times Olga Margarita Davila helped guide and coordinate the process.

Posts about Development
Have you ever played KulaWorld on the PSX? We were a little more than children back then, but we both remember it as a stunning puzzle game. We've started talk about it and quickly got nostalgic: oh, there hasn't been a game like that in ages!! So… why wouldn't we made one ourselves?
That's how we decided to start our new project: a mobile game inspired to KulaWorld. With a little refresh to the design and some adaptation to the game dynamics to make it more modern, our intention is to give homage to the original game.
Internal temporary name: kulo - which means absolutely nothing, except that those of you who speak Italian could find it rather funny :P
Very veryearly development
We made our last game, Bovine Simulator, with Unreal Engine - and we really loved it - but we always like to try new things, so this time we're using Unity instead. Up to now it's going great; we've managed to make the ball move with the correct restraints, and we're experimenting the overthrown around the edges (which is harder than it seems >_<).
On the design side, we're taking inspiration from origami and papercraft (have you ever played Kami? Because wow!). There's still a lot of work to do, but this is how our prototype looks like now:
What now?
The idea is to keep this blog updated and make a dev journal worth of its name. We'd like to update every friday-or-so, with a summary of what we achieved during the week: development challenges, design headaches, experiments and so on.
So… see you next week!
Last week, we sent Bovine Simulator to the AppStore for review. We were super happy, because we were finally releasing our first game!! There were some minor bugs, but it was OK, since it was some kind of experimental project for us. We even uploaded screenshots for the new iPhone 6, just to be super up-to-date.
BUT…. we did not count that, a couple of days later, iOS8 was released… and, of course, it wasn't working. Aaaargh!
issue #1: iOS8 + UE4 and landscape mode
For some reason, the game wasn't accepting anymore the landscape mode, and it was loading weird (look at the image below).
The .plist file looked ok, the settings on UE4 were correct too, but the app was being displayed in a weird way. Well, after some headache, we discovered that upgrading to UE4.4 solved this issue (we were using 4.3 at the time). Wonderful!
issue #2: iOS8 + UE4 and the missing provisioning
But no, it wasn't wonderful. Because at that point, we started having major problems packaging the app for distribution. UE4, for some reasons, did not include in the package neither the provisioning, nor the resources file.
(Just to let you know, you can check your app's signatures by running this command:
codesign -dvv Payload/UE4Game.app
We searched on the internet, and we weren't alone: they suggested us to unpackage the .ipa file, and the sign it again manually using the xcrun command. But something was still wrong, since we got an error stating that our ".plist file had been modified", and it could not sign it. What? We didn't even touch it! :(
After some more deep googling, we found out that you have to remove a .xcodeproject folder from your UE4 project before packaging. Appartently it was creating some conflict within UE4. After removing it, we could be able to easily package everything from UE again. Fantastic!!!
issue #3: can't connect to GameCenter Sandbox :(
We were super happy, then. We uploaded our .ipa to TestFlight website (we used that a couple of years ago for Venice tides, too), with our ad-hoc provisioning, and we sent the test version of the app to our devices for a final control. Guess what? We got stucked again: Game Center wasn't working anymore.
Before iOS8, we had already created some sandbox account for GameCenter, and everything was working fine. Now, when trying to open GameCenter from within the game, we got an error saying that it could not connect the account.
Our first idea was to reset the device (it used to solve the issue), but that wasn't the case. We found some very useful articles (like this, and this) that helped us a lot. What we had to do was to test the app with TestFlight inside iTunesConnect (and not externally from the old website, as we were doing). By doing that, an option should appear in your device under Settings > Game Center, called "Sandbox", that will let you test all the Game Center features.
issue #4: no more ad-hoc provisioning for TestFlight
We uploaded our .ipa to iTunes Connect then, but in the "Prerelease" tab we were getting this error: Build does not contain the correct beta entitlement
Wow… What we had to do was to recreate the provisioning (so that it will list, among entitlements, a property called "beta-reports-active: true", package again the application and re-upload it to iTunes Connect (you have to wait about 10-15mins until Apple process your app).
Well… we tried again, and again, and again, but our new provisionings never had the beta-reports property. Why?!?
By the way, to check what entitlements your build has, you can run this command:
codesign -d --entitlements :- "Payload/UE4Game.app"
And, you know what? We were generating an ad-hoc provisioning, because in the past we always had to use that to beta-test apps with TestFlight. And no-one told us that wasn't necessary anymore! Now you can upload to iTunes Connect your final build, with the AppStore provisioning. Before sending it to Apple for review, you can directly test your app with TestFlight and, when everything is ready, just send it to Apple right away.
Wow! That's wonderful and way better than before actually, and we're super glad it works this way now. But let's be honest: the process had been very very harsh, and it would have been nice to get some news from Apple about how to handle this new changes to iTunesConnect.
But hey, all's well that ends well :)
Now we only have to wait for Apple's approval. We'll keep you updated!
Already on iOS 7? We discovered a small issue on Venice tides with the new iOS.
The picker to change your personal 'acqua alta' level is not working anymore. Well, actually, it is working, but it disappeared :P If you try to move your fingers on the screen you can hear the click click sound of the picker and see the value changing on top. So, the picker is there, but it's invisible!
Don't worry, we're working on it. We plan to release an updated version in a couple of days.
Btw, we've googled the problem but it seems we're the only one having it. We'll let you know how we solved it, in case there's someone out there that needs help with the same issue :)
Apple approved our Venice tides and Venice tides lite two days ago *____*
After a first scary moment when we found a small bug (luckly server side, so we could fix it immediatly), everything went fine! We're pretty crazy about stats right now. It'll pass, we know, but at the moment we just have to check them every half an hour or so :P
We're using Test Flight Live, App Figures and iTunes Connect for app's stats. Test Flight is just wonderful for live data: we check it mostly for the lite version (it has more traffic), it shows returning and new users, plus stats on some customized checkpoints we set during the testing phase.
App Figures has stats on sales, trends, ads and - our favourite feature - rankings. We discovered there that we ranked 10th on Weather category in Italy and many more countries (wow!!). It shows iAds stats too, but iTunes Connect seems far more reliable for that.
So, how is it going? The full version got some nice downloads the first day (we promoted it on Facebook - it's mainly a local app, after all), but that's it for now. The 'acqua alta season' (november to january) is over, so we think that's pretty normal, we expected that. What's surprising, instead, is the free version. We're getting a lot of download from any kind of country: not just Europe, but Russia, Singapore, Kuwait... anything, really. And, well, we're flattered :)
The real problem now is that iAds (which we included in the lite version) does not support most of those countries. We're gonna try adMob, mediated with iAds (which, basically, means that we serve iAds first and, in case it has no ads to show, we switch to adMod). We checked on the internet and it seems like adMod has a better fill rate :O Well, we'll let you know ;)

poppy3] I feel so sorry for all those peeps invested in the global settlement and that their leadership have tried so hard to tie it to the rv of the iraq dinar.
I truely hope they get some of their investment at some point in time in the
future but i have read tons of stuff and talked with many peeps involved within
the gs and properity packages and even though they all have information that has
been stated about it not one has a shread of documented facts about anyting
pertaining to official business. That program has been pushed on people years
before the war in iraq and has zero to do with iraq dinar rv.
Sorry poppy3

"On Friday, March 25th, acoustic singer-songwriter William Fitzsimmons will be headlining an Indie Series Concert at Oswego State. Syracuse indie band The Scarlet Ending and Oswego State's own Matt Pfiefer will also be performing.
"Fitzsimmons, a Pennsylvania native born from two blind parents, was surrounded by sounds and music during his childhood. Because his parents were blind, Fitzsimmons grew up in a sonic-rich environment. By learning how to play multiple instruments from his parents, both of whom were musicians, he developed a knack for instrumental music. With a sound comparable to Iron & Wine, Jose Gonzales and Sufjan Stevens, Fitzsimmons is proficient in the acoustic guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin and melodica.
"His career in music began after getting his Master's degree in counseling at Geneva College. Fitzsimmons blendscorruption, honesty and his own life stories into his music.
"Fitzsimmons is well known for his songs "Please Don't Go" and "Passion Play," which were played during ABC's drama "Grey's Anatomy." Since 2005, Fitzsimmons has created three full-length albums, with his first two albums being self-produced; his latest album came out this year.
"The Scarlet Ending combines pop and rock, supported by a three-piece harmony; the band is fronted by two identical twin sisters, Kayleigh and Kaleena Goldsworthy, both with soft angelic voices that command the stage.
"The Scarlet Ending has received acknowledgment both home and overseas, starting with their debut EP that earned them a Syracuse Area Music Award for Best Pop Record of 2005. Their sophomore release, "Cries and Whispers," features the song "Winter," which was featured on VH1's "Tool Academy," and "The Way We Used To Be," which was featured on MTV's "Making The Band 4" and "The Hills."
"Since its breakthrough, the band has been actively touring in the United States as well as seeing time in Germany and Greenland as members of the entertainment roster performing for the Armed Forces.
"Matt Pfeifer is a crowd favorite at Oswego State on open-mic nights at Penfield Library's Lake Effect Cafe. His influences include Dallas Green, Jack Johnson, Brand New, Jonny Craig, Brighten and John Mayer. His debut EP album is called "Home."
"The show is this Friday, March 25 in the Sheldon Ballroom. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $10 for non-Oswego State students, adults age 60 and over and Oswego State faculty and staff, and $5 for Oswego State students. Tickets can be obtained at all Oswego State box office locations, online at https://tickets.oswego.edu or by calling 315-312-2141.

Yep it's that time of year, the time when everyone is discussing the trends to watch out for in 2014. Since we live in such a digital world, expect social media to be one of the most discussed topics in 2014 and for years to come.
In 2013, we saw some of the heavy hitters in social media go through some changes and try some new things. Twitter made headlines by going public and purchasing Vine, Instagram added video and Google+ beefed up their platform.
One of the big surprises was that teenagers left Facebook in droves, exactly why…part of the reason is that it's so saturated with parents and other adults. Who wants to be friends with their parents on Facebook, lol? Teenagers are gravitating more towards Instagram, WhatsApp and Snapchat.
Speaking of change, what will be the biggest trends in social media this year?
In 2014 expect to see more pictures, videos, infographics, and more GIFs. People are becoming more and more bored with text alone. That's not to say that text isn't important, but it should be accompanied by visuals to draw people in. Statistics show that when content is paired with pictures; there is a much better response and readers are more inclined to engage.
Videos are going to be very important, especially in the business world. Consumers' attention spans are shorter than ever before. Marketers understand this and they know that they have to do something to get their attention and get it fast. This is why infographics will be so important in 2014 much like it's saturation in 2013. Infographics are a great way to display content because they can be adjusted and tweaked to make information more appealing.
If you didn't jump on board with Google+ in 2013 (we're definitely one of many), then you may want to check it out in 2014. Expect Google+ to be mentioned amongst the heavy hitters in social media this year. Something tells me that those guys over at Google know what they are doing.
Google+ has a few features that will make them pretty enticing to the business world. Their connection with Google makes it a great platform for SEO. One of the latest features is Communities. Communities work similar to Linkedin Groups. This feature is something we should pay close attention to in 2014 and expect this to be adopted by many professionals.
Still not convinced that Google+ is worth checking out? Well think about this, Facebook and Twitter are trading publicly, so their investors will want a return. In 2014 expect Facebook and Twitter to start asking for money in order to do some of the things you were accustomed to doing for free, as well as more ads. Having said that, Google+ is powered and ran by Google, need I say more?
Mobile and Tablet
People are consuming more information on their smartphones and tablets than their computers. It's not a mystery that some people know how to navigate through their favorite social media platforms better on their phones than their computers. Besides that, it's pure convenience, their smartphones are always within arm's reach and that's where most of their pictures are. It only makes since to make sure that the social media experience on phones and tables are just as good as the experience on a computer.
Where do you think social media is going in 2014? I'd love to get your feedback. Feel free to connect using the comment form below.

Black and white never seem to go out of fashion but to avoid something that looks too retro or too stark today's clever accessories make for a stunning modern combination making doing black and white the right way even easier.
The secret is to combine the modern shelf look for your pictures and accessorise using textures and carefully selected accessories to provide interest at different levels. (The look is inspired by our seemingly endless passion for all things IKEA and their RIBBA shelving takes a prominent place in the designs).
If you want a fresh modern look to your living room using black and white with a totally modern twist, here are 6 of the best ways to do exactly that.
Feature Article: Doing Black And White The Right Way
A completely modern look for this apartment style living room brought to life by the carefully chosen range of accessories. With a lot of scatter cushions, a striking throw, textured rug and a black accent chair the whole scheme looks modern but comfortable and lived in.
The wooden floor creates the perfect back drop and adds a touch of much needed warmth.
When The Only Answer Is Ikea
IKEA continues to go from strength to strength with their storage units, well constructed flat-pack furniture, sofas and living room furniture like the one above.
The trend is moving away from minimal towards comfortable and interesting as more of us want something that not only allows us to show off our favourite word art accessories, but also acts a practical way to keep all our living room clutter organised, easy to clean and tidy.
Well Chosen Accessories For Adding Style
One of the big successes when using black and white is to carefully select items that when put together in the right way make a bold stylish statement.
With the internet at our finger tips today and deliveries coming faster than ever, using Google to help you find the perfect black chair or white open shelving is simple and affordable.
Spending a day whizzing around places like the Range, Dunelm, John Lewis Home, Next Home, Asda Living etc will also help you create the right mix of different heights and styles to accessorise your room.
The Ikea Inspired Shelving Revolution
One of the modern trends that has simply taken off in a big way is the collection of pictures and accessories displayed on a shelf mounted on the wall.
The brilliance of these modern shelves is that they look so sleek, can carry a reasonable amount weight safely and have no ugly shelving brackets.
Make a collection of your favourite quotes in frames from IKEA while you are there stocking up on these inexpensive but "must have items" for doing black and white right.
Have Fun With Scatter Cushions
Black and white scatter cushions are easily the most cost effective way to add all the right accessories to your black and white colour scheme. Try adding in a few geometric patterns or softer tones of black and white to add a dramatic look to your room where it's needed.
By using black and white (with splashes of grey) you really can't go wrong!
- When you are using these two classic colours the secret to success lies in making it look modern.
- Accessories will pull this modern look together and in this case, more is better.
- Check out IKEA for living room units to showcase your favourite word art and colour coordinated accessories.
- Make sure you pick up on the modern shelving trend for your pictures and slimline accessories to complete your new look black and white living room.

History of MRC-Cincinnati
While stopping at an art store in Over-The-Rhine, local artist Karen D'Agostino noticed that the streets were full of kids hanging out, appearing as they had no agenda beyond loitering. She discussed with friends and family that there was a real need for after-school programs for inner-city kids. "If kids don't have something fun to do that would keep them busy, they're likely to get into trouble." She remembered that a few years earlier in 2003, Dave Matthews Band had done a charity concert in Central Park and donated some of the money raised to an organization in their hometown of Charlottesville, VA. She did some research and learned of the Music Resource Center (founded 1995). Karen contacted the Executive Director, Sibley Johns, and discussed their program. Soon after, she would visit their center, and instantly fell in love with their program and its effects in the surrounding community. Teens from around the city could record and produce their own music, take lessons in an instrument of their choice, and perform their music for a nominal membership fee. The offerings at MRC were at once an answer to the issues affecting Cincinnati's adolescents and an accessible activity that would speak immediately to just about any teen. Karen decided Cincinnati needed an MRC. After further talks with Sibley and Fritz Berry, Board President, it was decided that Cincinnati would be MRC's first "sister" organization – using their name, philosophy and programs.
In 2007 the Music Resource Center – Cincinnati was officially created and earned its 501(c)3 status. The first year was spent conducting focus groups with teens, establishing connections with local non-profits, educators and funders. The feedback generated from the over 200 local teens surveyed indicated both the need and excitement for MRC's programming. While a permanent facility was still underway, MRC began conducting outreach programming to local schools and recreation centers.
Pilot Outreach Programming
The first outreach endeavors were funded by grants from the Fine Arts Fund (now Artswave), The Mayerson Foundation and The Duke Energy Foundation in 2008. Mac computers and recording equipment were purchased to offer workshops that would enable teens to make their own recorded music to keep on CD. With the support of the staff from MRC-C'ville, Karen conducted four trial "Into to Digital Recording" outreach programs at local schools. Students, teachers, and administrators all thought this program was successful, and it would continue under the direction of newly hired Program Manager Josh Elstro, a Electronic Media graduate from CCM.
Watch WLWT Cincinnati Channel 5′s 3-part segment on Music Resource Center—Cincinnati, covering its initial outreaches and construction of its first studios. Aired 2008.
After extensive research and reviewing many potential sites, MRC's studios found their home in East Walnut Hills, also at the border of the Evanston & Walnut Hills communities. Not only is the studio centrally located in the city of Cincinnati, it is situated conveniently near multiple schools, bus lines, at the intersection of a handful of neighborhoods.
A committee of 22 members worked to raise over $24,000 at our "Party Like a Rock Star!!" fundraiser, held at The 20th Century Theater in Oakley. The success of this event enabled MRC-Cinci to sign a lease on 3341 sq. ft. of space at 3032 Woodburn Avenue, in East Walnut Hills in early 2009. Renovations started in the spring and were completed by the end of summer. On August 7th, MRC-Cinci had their Grand Opening Celebration followed a week later by a Community Open House. Our studios have been full of local teens creating their own music and learning how to play a variety of instruments. Our first six months alone saw over 100 unique teens visit MRC more than 1,000 times!
History of the original MRC located in Charlottesville, VA
In 1992, John Hornsby and other Charlottesville, VA area musicians began exploring the idea of creating a community organization where middle- and high-school students could engage in music-making opportunities each day after school. This exploration was driven by the strong belief of MRC's founders that fewer students would get into trouble after school if there were productive, high interest activities (such as music) in which to engage. In 1993, Mr. Hornsby began conducting focus groups among local school students to see if the idea of a local teen center would appeal to students and if they would help make the organization successful. The response from students was overwhelming. 92% of the 400 students surveyed indicated that they wanted the facility set up and on average, the students indicated they would use the facility two or three times a week.
On June 17, 1995, the Music Resource Center—C'Ville opened their doors to the streams of students that began attending daily. Local musicians donated instruments, equipment, and time to volunteer and mentor the students. The first CD of music produced at the Center was released in 1995. Entitled "Urban Phlavors," it featured original music of MRC students, with audio engineering contributions from members as well.
MRC-C'Ville's original home was a recording studio of the Dave Matthews Band. When the Band began widespread national tours in 1994-1995, they vacated the space to allow for the start-up of MRC, donating equipment, instruments and an outfitted recording studio. The Band members, all of whom are on MRC's Advisory Board, continue to support the Center and periodically visit the students. Entertainment Weekly featured a cover story of the Band visiting the Center in 2005, and the Band talked about their role in supporting MRC on the Today Show in 2004. That same year, the Music Resource Center moved into their permanent home: a historical church-turned modern recording studio complex. Their new facility offers a main recording studio, five project rooms, two rehearsal rooms, and a dance room. The old sanctuary of the former church serves as a venue for talent shows, "battle of the bands" competitions and other events such as the Annual CD Release party.

text: Having my van down for 10 days recently gave me the opportunity to consider alternatives-specifically the 2013 E150. Used to be the 150 was light duty but I guess that changed @ 2010 or so. Actual payload & towing capacity is not that much less than the 250, same motor,tranny,wheels,etc. Frankly, I'm unclear where the actual difference lies other than the suspension. Any experiences good or bad?
