The Creative Campus
A healthy and resilient arts ecosystem includes affordable, long-term multi-use space for artists, cultural organizations, and their communities. Gentrification is putting such spaces within Massachusetts at risk; if not preserved, invested in, or expanded, they will be lost forever. The Creative Campus initiative intends to serve as a fully capitalized cultural community development corporation with the goal of preserving and developing vibrant and sustainable cultural and maker spaces. We intend to develop and own a network of Creative Campuses throughout Massachusetts that leverage the accumulated resources, human capital, equity, and development infrastructure toward the development of future projects.
How properties are identified
- Through our own prospecting via needs analysis, mapping, and partnerships
- In response to properties made available through formal RFP processes from government entities, banks, and private owners and estates
How spaces are used
Projects may be a standalone building or a multi-building concept. Projects will be identified and programmed with the following priorities in mind.
- Shared office, including incubator space for small and fringe organizations
- Shared rehearsal
- Multi-use black box performance venues (dance, theatre, film, etc)
- Maker spaces (printmaking, ceramics, jewelry, music, theatre set design, foundry, etc)
- Incubator space for tech and innovation
How spaces are designed
Each project will be characterized by the following project DNA:
- Site and community specific, based on a needs assessment
- Located in an under-resourced community or one where the arts are in jeopardy
- Community activated space—open/flexible, accessible, and technology enabled
- Diverse and inclusive in all aspects of construction, programming, and management
- Mix of uses and collaborators, e.g. farming, tech incubation, shared maker space
- Design experimental; high efficiency and green/sustainable
- Close to transportation
- Mixed-use and performance friendly, including sufficient load-in and storage space
- Designed to accommodate rotating public art installations and public events
- A&BC platform of services provided to tenants
How projects are funded
Each project will be funded through some combination of the following:
- Angel investment (philanthropic)—angels committed to supporting operations and raising the equity portion (20-30%) of a project budget on a project-by-project basis
- Private foundations
- Corporate support and sponsorship
- Government/municipal funding
- Tax credits (new market or historic)
- Bank loans
- Individual fundraising efforts by tenant or partner organizations interested in investing in the project to support their long term affordable space needs

Complete Statistics: Through Nov. 15
Anthony Biondo, Senior/Junior Senior/junior Anthony Biondo (Clinton Twp., Mich./Chippewa Valley HS) carries a 7-1 season record and the nation's No. 13 ranking into the Wolverines' dual-meet debut vs. Lehigh after back-to-back trips to the finals in the preceding open tournaments. Moving back up to 197 pounds, where he posted a 23-13 mark in his first varsity season, Biondo was perfect in his MSU Open appearance, earning three first-period falls -- in a combined 3:46 -- before knocking off Purdue's A.J. Kissel, 8-6, in the championships round. He will square off with the Mountain Hawks' Joe Kennedy, who owns a 1-1 season mark after losing to Pitt's Matt Wilps 3-1 in sudden victory last Sunday (Nov. 15). |
EMU Open: Michigan boasted two champions, five finalists and 12 total placewinners in the season-opening Eastern Michigan Open on Nov. 7. Senior/junior Eddie Phillips (Woodland, Mich./Lakewood HS) captured the heavyweight crown, while sophomore Mark Weber (Goodrich, Mich./Goodrich HS), senior/junior Aaron Hynes (Mt. Morris, Mich./Flint Kearsley HS) and senior/junior Anthony Biondo claimed runner-up honors at 141, 165 and 197 pounds, respectively. Sophomore/freshman Hunter Collins (Gilroy, Calif./Gilroy HS) rounded out Michigan's finalists, taking the 184-pound crown in the freshman/sophomore division.
MSU Open: Senior/junior Anthony Biondo and freshman Dan Yates (Hesperia, Mich./Hesperia HS) captured individual titles at 197 and 165 pounds, respectively, to headline a contingent of six Wolverine placewinners at the Michigan State Open (Nov. 15). Sophomore Zac Stevens (Monroe, Mich./Monroe HS) rebounded from a semifinal loss to defending NCAA champion Franklin Gomez of Michigan State to claim third place at 133 pounds, while sophomore Mark Weber and junior/sophomore Justin Zeerip (Fremont, Mich./Hesperia HS) claimed fourth at 141 and 174 pounds, respectively.
Starting Things with a Bang -- Through 88 years of U-M wrestling history, Michigan has posted a 56-29-2 record in its first dual meet of the season. The Wolverines saw their three-year winning streak in season openers come to an end last season, falling to Lehigh, 20-12, in Bethlehem, Pa. Under head coach Joe McFarland, Michigan is 8-2 in season openers, including a 2-1 mark in openers at Cliff Keen Arena.
New Faces in the Lineup -- As many as three Wolverines are slated to make their collegiate dual-meet debut against Lehigh on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 22). Freshman Sean Boyle (125 pounds) will be the fourth U-M true freshman in as many years to earn an immediate starting spot, while sophomore/freshmen Hunter Collins and Ben Apland (Woodridge, Ill./Downers Grove South HS) could see starting time at 184 pounds and heavyweight, respectively.
Swap Meet -- Four returning Michigan wrestlers will appear at new weight classes this season. Senior/junior Aaron Hynes and junior/sophomore Justin Zeerip will each bump up a weight class into the 165- and 174-pound spots, respectively, while senior/junior Anthony Biondo will return to 197 pounds after spending last season at 184. Sophomore Mark Weber, who saw some starting time last season at 149 pounds, will move down to 141 in 2009-10. Weber was Senior High School Nationals finalist at 135 pounds prior to arriving at Michigan.
Strength of Schedule -- Michigan faces a tough field of competitors again this season, with 10 of the Wolverines' 14 dual-meet opponents ranked among the top 25 teams in the National Wrestling Coaches Association's latest poll (Nov. 17), including three of the top-five ranked teams. No. 1 Iowa leads the pack of ranked opponents, which also includes No. 3 Ohio State, No. 5 Minnesota, No. 12 Wisconsin, No. 14 Indiana, No. 16 Lehigh, No. 17 Penn State, No. 20 Kent State and No. 24 Michigan State.
Calling the Shots -- Head coach Joe McFarland is in his 11th season as head coach of the Michigan wrestling team. Since taking over the reins in 1999, McFarland has helped mold Michigan into a highly-touted national contender, guiding the U-M wrestling squad to three Big Ten dual-meet championships (2004, '05, '06) and eight consecutive top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships (2001-08), including an NCAA runner-up performance in 2005. He is the third-winningest coach in program history with a 132-49-5 record at the helm and has led 18 different student-athletes to three NCAA individual titles, 39 All-America citations and 17 Big Ten individual crowns.
Lehigh -- The No. 16-ranked Mountain Hawks (3-0) enter Sunday's dual meet after sweeping in-state competition -- Rider (31-3, Nov. 8), Penn State (23-14, Nov. 13) and Pittsburgh (24-9, Nov. 15) -- in their first two weeks of the 2009-10 season. Lehigh boasts six individually ranked wrestlers, most notably fifth-ranked Zach Rey (Hwt) and 11th-ranked Mike Galante (165). Michigan leads the all-time series with Lehigh, 23-13, dating back to 1936. The Mountain Hawks snapped Michigan's three-match series win streak last season, overcoming an early deficit to win five of the final seven bouts and claim the dual, 20-12, in Bethlehem, Pa. Lehigh on the Internet: www.lehighsports.com.

After creating paleo diet fig newtons, I had to turn them into cupcakes! These figgin' fantastic fig newton cupcakes start with a dense vanilla cake. To make the cupcakes both paleo and gluten-free, the cake is made with almond meal and coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour. Then, there's an agave-sweetened fig paste baked right into the center of each cupcake. The whole thing is topped with a honey coconut oil glaze and a dried black mission fig.
Products Related to Paleo Diet Fig Newton Cupcakes
Paleo Diet Fig Newton Cupcake Recipe
The cupcake portion of these fig newton cupcakes is a recipe for paleo vanilla pound cake that I found on Paleo Effect. I barely changed the recipe (I just left off the arrowroot powder – one less thing to buy), but I am reprinting it below so that it's clear how to use it in the context of these cupcakes.
- 1/2 cup dried black mission figs, stems removed
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons agave nectar
- pinch cinnamon
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons almond meal
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- Dried figs for topping, optional
- Place figs in a food processor with all other filling ingredients. Process until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond meal, coconut flour, and baking soda.
- In a small bowl, combine salt, vanilla, lemon juice, coconut oil, honey, eggs, and applesauce.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Fill cupcake liners 1/4 full with cupcake batter.
- Add a heaping tablespoon of fig filling over batter in each liner.
- Top filling with enough batter to fill liners 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out dry.
- Place coconut oil and honey in a small bowl and use a hand mixer or an immersion blender to fully mix the two ingredients.
- Leave the frosting on the counter for a few hours to thicken. It will be more runny right after mixing.
- Spread on cooled cupcakes.
- Optionally top with sliced dried figs.
These cupcakes work just as well without the glaze, but they won't seem quite as cupcakey.
The cupcakes stick to regular cupcake liners, so be sure to use grease-proof liners or silicone liners.

Long-time Hershey Bears Doug Yingst and Bryan Helmer will be inducted into the AHL Hall of Fame on January 30, 2017, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Yingst, during his 34-year career as an executive with the Hershey Bears, won four Calder Cup championships as the team's general manager. Helmer, who played 12 games with the Washington Capitals, holds the AHL records for most games, assists, and points by a defenseman. Helmer was the captain of the Bears' back-to-back championship teams in 2009 and 2010. He currently is the Bears' new VP of hockey operations, replacing the retired Yingst.
Last night was the Hershey Bears Calder Cup party at Giant Center. RMNB could not attend, but our spies are everywhere. From the aperture of Kyle Mace comes a parade of Bears images. Let's take a second to appreciate Alexandre Giroux's aviator sunglasses, maniacal beard, and spraying bottles akimbo. The man is one bass solo away from joining Motorhead.
Here is Kyle's video:
Glorious stills after the jump!
Tonight, we had the pleasure of having our own Hershey Correspondent Kyle M. down on the ice as the Hershey Bears celebrated their 11th Championship in Franchise History. And boy did he get some great photos.
Below the jump, check out Bryan Helmer hoisting the Calder Cup, the Bourque family celebrating Chris's MVP Award, Doug Yingst getting a champagne shower from Michal Neuvirth and Francois Bouchard losing his dang mind. The overriding theme of these photos is "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Michal Neuvirth begins the celebration a few seconds before the final buzzer. (Sean Simmers, The Patriot-News)
The Bears' 4-0 blowout of the Texas Stars is a fitting punctuation on the team's 60-win season.
In this, the team's eleventh Calder Cup championship-clinching game, the Bears' did everything right. Michal Neuvirth was sterling in net; the team owned puck possession, second chances, and shots on goal (36); and the scoring came from depth– namely the blueliners. John Carlson's first-period sweeper was Captain America's second GWG of the series, and his second championship goal of the year. Karl Alzner rounded out the first period with his own tally through Brent Krahn's 7-hole. Patrick McNeill had goals in both the second and third periods. And let's not forget that Chris Bourque, who led the AHL in playoff goals, rightfully claimed the MVP trophy.
When Captain Bryan Helmer hoisted the Cup and passed it to his teammates, he ended one of the most dominating seasons in AHL history. The Bears '09-'10 season contained 342 goals (no other team had 280) and a stunning 24-game winning streak at home. In this series the team overcame a two-game deficit, won three games on the road, and tonight delivered a decisive knockout blow. There is no shortage of acclaim for the Bears.
The bearded horde of Hershey has earned the right to shave, but even moreso the right to party. May the law officers of Dauphin County look the other way until dawn, because the Chocolate and White have finally won.
This past weekend was awesome. Why? Because it was chock full of Hockey at every hour of the day. Sure there was "Super Sunday" with the Russians destroying the Czechs, USA humbling the Green Snubbers from the North, and the Swedes shutting out the Fins in Olympic action. But there also was a double dip of AHL Hockey with the Hershey Bears playing both on Saturday and Sunday. Well since we here at RMNB can't be everywhere – though Fedor certainly tried as he watched illegal Russian Video Streams of the Bears Games during breaks in the Olympics – we asked our Hershey Correspondent Kyle M to summarize the events of this weekend via pictures, words & yes, his own video. Video which includes reaction from players and Coach Mark French after Hershey set the AHL Record for Consecutive Home Victories. Awesome. If you hate reading like me, here's all you need to know: HERSHEY RULZ!

Potter teaser arrives in UK
Harry Potter fans in the UK will get their first glimpse of the eagerly-awaited second film of the book series from Friday, as the trailer begins in cinemas nationwide.
Warner Brothers have released a taster for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, five months ahead of the film's release. The trailer introduces Dobby the House Elf - a character not featured in the first film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - who warns Harry of the danger of returning to Hogwarts for a second term. Cinemas in the US began showing the trailer last week, alongside the newly released Scooby Doo, a live action movie of the 1970s TV animation. The trailer sees Harry and fellow Hogwarts pupil Draco Malfoy duelling in the Great Hall.
It also shows Harry and his best friends, Ron and Hermione, drinking Polyjuice Potion and Harry writing in a mysterious diary. Dobby is just one of a number of new faces to have joined the cast. The others include Kenneth Branagh as Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, the new Defence Against Dark arts teacher. Gemma Jones plays Madam Pomfrey, Miriam Margolyes arrives as Professor Sprout and Jason Isaacs takes the role of Lucius Malfoy. Terror Meanwhile, from the first movie, Robbie Coltrane returns as the giant gamekeeper, Hagrid, Richard Harris as headmaster Albus Dumbledore and Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall. The child stars are again Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Emma Watson as Hermione and Rupert Grint as Ron.
The story of the first movie focused on Harry coming to terms with his magical powers. The second film concentrates more on the action at Hogwarts. Term starts well but Harry soon begins to hear voices from within the walls and Hogwarts students are mysteriously turned to stone. Harry and his friends then set out to discover the dark force that is terrorising the school. American director Chris Columbus is again the film's helmsman but reportedly will not be involved in the third instalment. He is said to have decided that two are enough, and is keen to return to the US with his family. Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets is released in UK cinemas on 15 November. |

Before the 1937 ruling West Coast Hotel vs. Parrish that upheld a minimum wage for women, the Supreme Court had held the position that the state should not interfere in the liberty of contract between employer and employee. Moreover, it was argued that women, having gained the vote, had achieved a degree of equality that meant they didn't need any special protection under the law, despite women often having little choice other than to accept low paid jobs. Previous rulings had favoured employers, arguing that any state upholding of a minimum wage for women would be unconstitutional. However, when chambermaid Elsie Parrish sued the hotel where she worked for the difference between what she was paid and the state minimum wage, …

So Ernie Els's comfortable 6 and 4 victory over Angel Cabrera on the West Course yesterday left plenty of time for his jaunt to Paris last night for the second South Africa-Argentina clash of the day. Whatever the result in the Stade de France, it would have been a happier plane ride than the previous Sunday evening.
Do not let Els fool you. He might take advantage of little bonuses like a trip by private jet to a Rugby World Cup semi-final but nothing matters as much as taking care of business on the course. The previous weekend at St Andrews Els messed up the 16th hole, putting into a bunker for a triple bogey, and lost a chance to win the Dunhill Links.
At such moments the Big Easy is more like a big bear with a very sore head. "It seems like I'm a patient guy but I'm quite an impatient person when it comes to getting results," Els said. "Last Sunday it wasn't a happy plane ride. Any time you stuff up like that it certainly sits on your mind for a while. You try to downplay it and just get on with the week."
This was Els's seventh win in the HSBC World Match Play championship, a tournament the Wentworth resident has long made his own. But this was his first win of the year and his first on the big stage since his knee injury sailing in the Mediterranean in 2005. His last victory either in America or on European soil was in this same event in 2004.
"I wish I could take Wentworth with me everywhere around the world," Els added. "I would never have thought I would win a prestigious tournament like this seven times.
"It's a really important win for me and my career. I haven't had the results go my way in America or Europe so far this year so to get a win and to play the way I did this year is very satisfying."
Yet it has still been a very consistent season for the South African and although the £1m first prize was capped for the purposes of the European Tour Order of Merit, Els still went to the top of the table. However, Els is not playing at the Volvo Masters at Valderrama at the end of the month, having a contract to play in Singapore on the Asian Tour.
Open champion Padraig Harrington, who has one event left, and Justin Rose, who has two still to play, could overtake him but they will have to play well to do so. "They've got their work cut out," Els said. "Hopefully some outsiders will play well and keep Padraig and Justin honest."
Els is genuine in hoping to win a third Order of Merit and at some time returning to Valderrama, where he has not played for a number of years. But he was also frank enough to admit: "At the end of the year you've got the wheelbarrow out and want to cash in a bit."
He has certainly done that at the World Match Play, where his seven wins, from 12 appearances, have netted him £3.75m. He has lost only five of his 31 matches and even a back twinge yesterday morning could not stop him collecting eight birdies and a three-up lead.
Whatever Els did to correct his putting stance on Saturday lunchtime it was still doing the trick yesterday as he holed from 32 feet at the third and from off the green at the ninth. Els would have been further out in front had it not been for Cabrera twice matching his opponent's birdies on the back nine.
In keeping with most of the finals since the format was changed to ensure all the players played all four days, even these two giants of the southern hemisphere – Cabrera aged 38 and Els soon to be so – were beginning to feel the effects of playing eight rounds in quick succession. The third hole in the afternoon, one of glorious autumnal sunshine, proved to be crucial. Els, carving his drive to the right and hitting his tee with his second, should never have won it.
But he hit an eight-iron to 12 feet and holed the putt for an unlikely par, while Cabrera failed to get up and down. He was four down and the US Open champion could not respond. The end came when Els won three holes in a row from the 12th. At the short 14th, Els hit a lovely shot to 10 feet and was primed to make his 13th birdie of the day but after Cabrera overshot the green and chipped past the hole, the match was conceded.
"I played my best today but it wasn't enough," Cabrera said. "Ernie played very well, he knows the course so well and he is so comfortable here. He is the king of Wentworth."

Read our guide to driving in Europe and find out all the information you need, including country specific advice.
Packed with the best car reviews, drives, expert motoring advice, news from the RAC and so much more…
Knowing how to compare the different RAC Breakdown Cover options is essential when you are looking to purchase the right breakdown cover for you. To do this you need to understand what your breakdown needs are, what our standard cover provides and how our additional levels of cover compare to that. Tempting as it is to go with the cheapest package when making a breakdown cover comparison, the cheapest package may not meet all your needs and you may end up paying more in the long run. Our RAC Breakdown Cover Comparison guide will help you understand which options are available, how they compare and which levels options are best suited for you needs. You can also compare Breakdown Cover levels against the RAC and other organisations.
If you travel far on a regular basis then it is important to understand how our Breakdown options compare to ensure you are properly covered. With our standard Roadside Rescue package your vehicle will be attended at the roadside 24/7, as long as you are over a ¼ mile away from home. If in the unlikely event we are unable to fix your vehicle, our Roadside Rescue cover also includes a 10-mile tow to a destination of your choice. In comparison, our Recovery option will take you and up to 8 passengers and your car to your chosen destination anywhere in mainland UK. This additional level of cover is desirable for those who regularly travel with passengers or for those who travel far from home and need the flexibility of a mainland tow.
Most motorists are unaware of the fact that most car breakdowns are likely to occur near the home. If you primarily travel locally, whether it's dropping the kids to school or popping round the shops, then it certainly worth comparing the different RAC Rescue options. Where our Roadside Rescue will attend your vehicle a ¼ mile away from your home, our At Home will attend your car if it breaks down at home, or within a quarter of a mile of your home.
Though we are proud of our record of fixing 4 out of 5 vehicles by the roadside, we also provide further services if we are unable to fix your vehicle. Compared to our standard level of cover, our Garage Parts and Labour package is designed for drivers who depend heavily on their vehicle, but may not have the finances to fit it straight away. This optional extra will cover the cost of certain parts and labour up to £750 per claim through the RAC-approved garage network to help get you back on the road again. It should be remembered that this option is only available with our Recovery cover package.
Flat batteries are one of the most frequent causes of breakdowns. If you drive infrequently and for short periods of time, then you could be increasing the chance of a flat battery. Compared to our stand-alone basic level of cover, for just £20.99 extra per year our Battery Rescue will source, fit and pay for a replacement battery if yours cannot be recharged.

Spark gaps
SBCHEVY with an HEI distributor and a Mallory 50 000 volt coil with a performance module. Accel Spiral Core wires. Accel 276s plugs.
What kind of spark gap should I run with this? No emissions testing. But I have had plug fouling problems before. What about the gap after I install my MSD 6A box? Some of you help me out here please.
Sponsored Links | |||
I noticed in you name you have 1971. I am assuming you have a 1971 car.( maybe thats the year you were born??? Just kidding) If you do, and converted it to the hei set up you need to make sure you have 12 volts to the distributor.
Spark plugs need to reach 750 degrees to be self cleaning. If you have problems you may need to step up to the next hotter plug. Make sure you fix the 12 volt deal first if it's not right. If you used the factory wire and only have 6 volts to the distributor this will cause plug fouling. As far as the msd goes i have found that they like a tighter plug gap. It' not much difference on a NA motor but it really helps on a nitrous motor to close the gaps up. I run mine at .025 You can play with this some and see what works best for you. I personally don't like the accell plugs. This is just my own findings and i don't want to start a flame job or anything but i Have used the accell's and also the autolite racing plugs and i think the autolite's are a much better plug and they are half the cost. Keith |
1971 is not the yr of my car NOR the year I was born. Rather, it is the birth yr of my lovely young wife.
Interesting about the 750 degree thing. I never knew what temp they needed to be. So do you have a no. of an Autolite plug to recommend to me? I just used the Accells because they are a short plug and they clear headers better. Maybe there are other short plugs out there tho. I dunno. By the way Keith I notice that under your name it says Jesus Saves I like that. Another thing, The K in my name stands for.... KEITH too. So if I have my plugs set at 40 thou will I be ok? with and without the MSD hooked up? |
keith (1971)
Boy i thought one of the 2 guesses would be right.. L.O.L. Thats why i don't gamble........ .040 will be ok It's not that the gap won't work, just some motors like it tightened up some. Try playing with the gap and see what happens. If memory serves (and sometimes it don't) those accell 276's are a 5/8 reach tapered seat plug. If so i would get the autolites AR135 to replace them. This would be the starter plug to work up or down from..... Most big chain auto parts stores stock them or can get them in a few days..... The Ar plugs are short like the accell's Wild bil, I think you are right about msd's paper setting for the plugs. But who reads the directions anyway???? Just kidding. In my dually with a msd box on i set the plug gap to what the paper stated and ran like that. I never tried any different settings on that.....But i should to see if i get any better mpg. |

It's breakfast that gets me out of bed every day to start my morning routine. But sadly, not my own. It's that little guy next to me who wriggles, squirms and speaks, perhaps accompanied by a rude slap on the face, sometimes a sweet whisper, or sometimes a shout, that he is so hungry, his tummy is rumbling and it's time for breakfast. I feel lucky if my little Hugo alarm goes off after 6am, usually it's the around the 5.30 mark. After the smalls' breakfast is under way, I have my first coffee of the day. Then it's usually a chaotic rush to get out the door on time. But after we return from the morning drop off, it's time for my breakfast. Hugo's off playing and I like to sit amongst the breakfast dishes and linger over a second coffee and perhaps some toast with jam, maybe a boiled egg. The morning sun shines in and I eat in peace, whilst reading a library book, a recipe, the mail, or perhaps writing a list for the day. I sit for sometimes three, maybe, four minutes if I'm very lucky. It's complete and utter blissful me time.

We seem to be in a bit of a dry spell these days where it concerns video games and their violent influence on our culture. Their subconscious digital warpath of the 90's and 00's seem to have simmered down and would appear to have almost become apathetic with their goal of conquering the minds and actions of today's youth. Sure, you get the occasional reference to FPS shooters being used as training tools for idiotic murderers in movie theaters but not nearly with the same gusto is provided by random senators trying to make a name for themselves or local news anchors facing a slow day of news.
I began to ponder violence and the desensitizing it has provided me over the years; not only in video games but in other mediums. It was this line of thinking and the impending release of GTA5 and their foreplay pictures Rockstar has been releasing this week that had me recall the silly swarm of whistle-blowers that the game initially garnered back on the GTA3 release. For those that were stuck in front of the tube watching Barney or Einstein Baby let me tell you, it was ridiculous. We are far removed from those days but it begs the question now that we have the luxury of retrospect: Has video games (or other media) desensitized you enough that you could do half of the things you do or seen? Have they prepared you enough to even see a dead body without flinching or feeling for the once functional human? Do you feel it has trained you, either consciously or subconsciously, to face horrors that your normal, grande latte life has not afforded you on a daily basis?
The majority of responses are not without their paralleling attempts to say that they feel more certain about their skills and iron stomach if the zombie apocalypse should (it will) happen. But what about a non-elaborate and non-fantastical situation that you would not find in a video game? What if it was your life as you know it now? Are you prepared? Are you that much more numb to the value of life?
Extra credit: If not GTA5, what will be the next game to get the media's panties caught in your zipper?

Doris Day Her Own Story
January 30, 2012 by staff
Doris Day Her Own Story, Doris Day (born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff; April 3, 1924) is an American actress, singer, and animal rights activist. With an entertainment career that spanned through almost 50 years, Day started her career as a big band singer in 1939, but only began to be noticed after her first hit recording, "Sentimental Journey", in 1945. After leaving the Les Brown & His Band of Renown to try a solo career, she started her long-lasting partnership with Columbia Records, which would remain her only recording label. The contract lasted from 1947 to 1967, and included more than 650 recordings, making Day one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of the 20th century. In 1948, after being persuaded by Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne and her agent at the time, Al Levy, she auditioned for Michael Curtiz, which led to the lead in Romance on the High Seas, her first film with close friend, Jack Carson.
With a legendary Hollywood "girl next door" image and capable of delivering comedy, romance as well as heavy drama, she appeared in 39 films, released 29 albums, spent 460 weeks in the Top 40 charts and eventually became one of America's most beloved entertainers. She received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Pillow Talk, won three Henrietta Award (World Film Favorite), a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Legend Award from the Society of Singers, Los Angeles Film Critics Association's Career Achievement Award and, in 1989, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion pictures.
Day's strong commitment to animal rights began in 1971, when she cofounded the "Actors and Others for Animals". She started her own non-profit organization in the late 1970s, the Doris Day Animal Foundation and, later, the Doris Day Animal League. Establishing the annual observance Spay Day USA in 1994, The Doris Day Animal League now partners with the Humane Society of the United States and continues to be a leading advocacy organization. In 2004 she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush in recognition of her distinguished service to the country. President Bush recognized Miss Day's work on behalf of animals by saying, "It was a good day for our fellow creatures when she gave her good heart to the cause of animal welfare."
Day was ranked the biggest box-office star for four years (1960; 1962-1964) and ranked in the top 10 for 10 years (1951-1952; 1959-1966). She became the top-ranking female box-office star of all time and ranked sixth among the top 10 box-office performers (male and female), as of 2009.

German police were last night calling on the former world champion boxer David Haye to hand himself in for questioning after he left the country following a punch-up with a rival fighter at a press conference.
The unseemly brawl between Haye and former British heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora has been denounced as a moment of shame for British boxing. Chisora, 28, was arrested and released without charge but German police missed Haye when they arrived at his hotel at 4am yesterday to question him. Police said he did not turn up for his scheduled flight and his whereabouts are unknown.
Chisora and Haye traded punches and grappled at the press conference which followed the former's points defeat to Vitali Klitschko in Munich on Saturday. Various hangers-on tried to prise them apart while Klitschko looked on.
Haye, 31, was at the bout working for a television network, and repeatedly heckled Chisora. The pair squared up and Haye, who was holding a glass bottle, landed a right. Officers wanted to question both men about the brawl, during which Chisora also threatened to shoot Haye.
After Haye's punch, Chisora mistakenly claimed he had been glassed. Haye's manager, Adam Booth, wrongly said he had also been hit with a bottle when he emerged with a cut forehead and blood running down his face.
Chisora's trainer, Don Charles, was also arrested but freed without charge.

Combat appears... (AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus) (Newser) – People in the military kill themselves for the same reasons civilians do and there is no clear link between combat or deployment overseas and the military's surging suicide rate, according to a new study. Researchers, who tracked 150,000 soldiers from 2001 to 2008, found that most of those who killed themselves were heavy drinkers who suffered from depression or had been diagnosed with manic depression, CNN reports. Surprisingly, being deployed for longer than a year was associated with a lower risk of suicide. The study suggests that military suicides can be curbed with the same approaches used in civilian life, but the problem in the military is that doctors can end patients' careers by recommending early discharge, making soldiers less likely to seek help, Army Medical Corps Col. Charles Engel tells Bloomberg. "The answer has to be an effort to approximate civilian standards of confidentiality," he says. "Unless we're dealing with an imminent risk to combat or a tactical mission, really we should be using civilians' standards."

Two recent developments in U.S. law may be of special interest to non-U.S. clients, especially foreign banks. First, the highest appellate state court in New York issued a decision on November 20, 2012 holding that a Lebanese bank may be subject to personal jurisdiction in New York courts because the bank makes use of a correspondent bank account at a New York bank on behalf of a client where the legal claim is connected to the use of the correspondent account. Second, in a separate case, the Supreme Court of the United States recently heard arguments concerning whether non-U.S. corporations may be liable under the U.S. Alien Tort Statute for conduct outside the U.S. and whether such claims can be asserted against corporations.
The New York "Long Arm" Jurisdiction Case; Licci v. Lebanese Canadian Bank, SAL -
The recent decision of the New York State Court of Appeals in the case Licci v. Lebanese Canadian Bank, has clarified when a New York Court can exercise personal jurisdiction over a foreign banking entity whose only connection with New York is the maintenance of a correspondent account at a New York bank. This decision reduces the strength of a foreign bank's opposition to jurisdiction where it can be shown that the plaintiff's claims arise at least in part out of repeated banking activity in New York, even where the foreign bank has no other connection to New York.

The dish of a European antenna takes shape
Detail of the dish of a European ALMA antenna, before the installation of the metallic panels that make up the reflecting surface. The black elements are the supports of the panels and can be adjusted so precisely that the surface is accurate within 25 micrometres. ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, is a global partnership of Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with Chile. ALMA will be initially composed of 66 giant 12-metre and 7-metre diameter antennas observing at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths. The 66 antennas are provided by the different partners. ESO, the European partner in ALMA, has ordered 25 12-metre antennas, with an option for an additional seven, from the AEM (Alcatel Alenia Space France, Alcatel Alenia Space Italy, European Industrial Engineering S.r.L., MT Aerospace) Consortium.

But now, at a Gryffindor party, sparks fly, and what appears to be a harmless kiss between friends turns into a question of the actual meaning of the word love.

Theme: |
6286 Skull's Eye Schooner a.k.a. Dark Shark II or Black Skull is a Pirates set released in 1993. It includes a large three-masted pirate ship, nine pirates, a rowboat, and a shark.
The ship is armed with four cannons, although the four hatches on each side suggest a twice as big armament. The cannons are mounted on 4x4 turntables that can slide all the way from port to starboard, allowing them to be easily positioned on either side of the ship. There are also two smaller cannons on either side of the poop deck, but those are not functional.
The interior of the aftcastle can be accessed by opening its sidewalls as well as detaching a piece of the poop deck. Through the aftcastle runs a piece of the mechanism that allows the rudder to be moved by turning the steering wheel.
- The Skull's Eye Schooner replaces the Black Seas Barracuda from 1989 as the pirates' flagship. It is also bigger than its predecessor and only one of two ships of the Pirates theme with three masts.
- Although it is called a "schooner" it is actually a primarily square-rigged ship.
- The schooner appears in the video game LEGO Racers on the Pirate Skull Pass track in the third and sixth circuits engaged in a battle with the 6268 Renegade Runner.
- This was the biggest LEGO ship from 1993 until 2010, when the set 10210 Imperial Flagship was released.

The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls is a really well-written book about the author's unbelievable childhood. Her parents were a couple of daredevils who didn't believe in closing their front door at night because it blocks the air. They also taught their preschool children to use firearms. In their quest for excitement, the author's parents dragged their children all over the country in a series of cars. The incredible stuff they did and got away with makes the book a gripping read.
Jeannette Walls can really write. You seldom see a book this well-written. Every word is well-placed. She plays her incredible upbringing for all it's worth, doling out shocking, fascinating, or affecting moments in the most suspenseful way. She is aware of how badly she was neglected, but at the same time she sees the humanity in her parents and their larger than life spirits.
You're not going to see a book this well written for years, neither will you encounter a life like this one. Read it!

About Us FAQs
The Company
The BullionVault service is owned by Galmarley Limited [name origin], which is company number 4943684 registered in England and Wales at 12th Floor, Landmark House, Blacks Road, Hammersmith, London W6 9DP.
Our website services are managed, hosted and delivered to you by Galmarley's wholly owned subsidiary BullionVault Ltd, which is company number 07400400 also registered in England and Wales at 12th Floor, Landmark House, Blacks Road, Hammersmith, London W6 9DP.
Our computers are managed from our London offices. Our live service is hosted in London, while other international locations maintain our back-up systems and data.
Our offices are in West London (UK) and we welcome callers during normal office hours. You do not need an appointment, but making one will usually save you some waiting time. Our contact details are here.
Business History and Financial Performance
An original £275,000 [$500,000] of seed capital was injected at the incorporation of Galmarley Ltd in October 2003, and it funded the early planning and development of the BullionVault service.
After developing the software, and over a period of two years from March 2005, the business raised approximately £3.5m in equity funding. This money was invested in gold bars and currency to provide the inventory which the business needed to operate.
The accessibility, safety and value of gold bought through BullionVault quickly made the service popular, and the business traded profitably in year one. Its revenues come from a mixture of four sources:-
- Commission
- Custody fees
- Interest receipts
- The difference between buying and selling prices of gold, known as the "trading turn"
The company traded profitably from its first year (2005). We have grown steadily, and particularly rapidly since 2008.
On 1st September 2008 we were elected into the London Bullion Market Association which represents the largest of the world's physical bullion markets.
In April 2009 we won the Queen's Award for Enterprise (Innovation) for our use of technology in making the efficiencies and reliability of the professional bullion market available to private customers. In 2013 we were awarded a second Queen's Award for Enterprise (International Trade) for growing overseas sales by 140% in 3 years.
We always publish our most recent audited accounts online.
We now have over 65,000 active customers, from over 175 countries, holding approximately $2 billion in stored bullion. In fact, with more than 37 tonnes of gold and 500 tonnes of silver bullion, BullionVault's customers are already holding significantly larger reserves than most of the world's central banks.
Our financial strength is formidable. Our asset value per £1 ordinary share has grown to over £80, and those assets are denominated in currency balances and our own gold bullion stock, all available at short notice.
This financial strength was consolidated when on 17th June 2010 we completed an important deal. The World Gold Council and Augmentum Capital each bought an 11.4% equity stake, investing a total of £12.5m (US$18.8m). On 12th April 2016 the World Gold Council transferred its 11% holding in BullionVault to Gold Bullion Investment Trust [GBIT] which became the registered owner. GBIT is a connected organisation of the World Gold Council.
In January 2017 we became members of the London Platinum and Palladium Market in anticipation of offering platinum on the platform in partnership with the World Platinum Investment Council.
Our Board
Chairman : Paul Tustain
Paul graduated with distinction in Computer Science. In the 1980s he worked as an equity analyst in London, but found himself increasingly involved in systems. On a sabbatical in 1989 he developed a new design for banks' trading control systems and subsequently launched SAM in 1990, which over 10 years grew to provide computer solutions to 12 organisations including four of Europe's biggest banks. What he saw there did not always inspire confidence.
When SAM was taken over in 2001 Gordon Brown was trying to sell Britain's gold. Paul tried to buy some, and although he succeeded – eventually – the bullion market process was opaque and the transaction terms unattractive to a private investor. Sensing that more people would soon be looking to buy gold he started planning BullionVault in 2002.
Development of BullionVault, funded by Paul, started in 2003, and the BullionVault service was launched in spring 2005 supported by investment from 30 friends, family and business angels. Paul has been CEO ever since, as the business has grown to become the world's biggest online investment bullion service. He is still one of the biggest customers and looks forward to holding gold for many more years, at least until there is a credible alternative to the deeply indebted currency systems of the developed world.
Paul works 60% of his time for BullionVault. His salary and benefits are paid for by the company and disclosed, along with his interest in the company's equity and bonds, in the audited accounts.
Chief Executive : Robert Glynne
Robert has over 20 years' experience running e-commerce and financial services online. He graduated with Honours in Combined Studies from Newcastle University in 1994. In 1996 he took a temporary job as a filing clerk in San Francisco at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. – the pioneer in internet financial services for private investors – and left in 2005 as eCommerce Director.
During his 9 years at Schwab, Robert held a number of managerial roles in its market-leading online division, heading initiatives to increase customer acquisition and deliver multi-million dollar cost savings.
In 2005 Robert returned to the UK and joined Betfair Ltd (now Paddy Power Betfair PLC). As Head of Sports Product Management, Robert led the team developing and launching new betting products and website functionality for the core division. Sports revenues more than doubled during his 2.5 years managing the group. Promoted to Product Director in 2009, he was part of the management team that saw the company float on the London Stock Exchange in 2010.
Robert joined BullionVault in 2011 as Chief Operating Officer. Responsible for managing new product development, marketing and the day-to-day running of the company, in 2015 he also played a key part in launching BullionVault's sister business, WhiskyInvestDirect. Robert was promoted to Chief Executive and appointed to the Galmarley Board in August 2016.
Robert works full time for BullionVault. His salary and benefits are paid for by the company and disclosed, along with his interest in the company's equity and options, in the audited accounts.
Director : Greg Lockwood
Greg has a Masters of Management degree from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management, and a B.A. (Hons.) from the University of Western Ontario. He is a Founder of Piton Capital, a venture fund specialized in online exchanges and marketplaces.
Prior to this he set up the European venture arm of UBS Capital, and worked in telecom investment banking and in media publishing. Within UBS he helped to create Sunrise, the second largest telecom services provider in Switzerland and made investments in – among others – Betfair, the world's largest internet betting exchange, where he served as Chairman.
He invested in BullionVault as one of the first group of business angels, whose interest he continues to represent on the Board. He transferred that investment into Piton Capital, which later followed that with a further investment in June 2010. Piton now owns 2.3% of the company.
Greg's salary and benefits are paid by Piton Capital.
Director : Tim Levene
Tim went to the University of Manchester to study Russian and worked for Bain & Company in Moscow, Boston, Sydney and London. He left Bain in early 1998 to pursue entrepreneurial interests.
In the summer of 1999, he joined 3 former colleagues from Bain & Company and launched Flutter.com. In early 2000, Flutter raised over $24m in venture capital which – after various mergers – ultimately exited on the London Stock Exchange for approximately $400m in 2010. He moved to Asia in 2004 and returned to London in 2009 to launch Augmentum Capital.
Augmentum Capital backs dynamic entrepreneurs in the technology and internet space. Backed by London-listed RIT Capital Partners, Augmentum invests in businesses that exploit inefficient markets and those that develop disruptive technologies. Augmentum has invested in 6 internet and software businesses since 2010, one of which was BullionVault in which it acquired an 11% stake in 2010.
Tim was made a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2012.
Tim's salary and benefits are paid by Augmentum Capital.

In total BullionVault employs 37 people at its Hammersmith office in London.
As the head of the board and majority shareholder Paul Tustain accepts responsibility within the company for organising BullionVault's system controls and arranging individual responsibilities within the BullionVault team, and its custody providers, so as to maximise the security of customers' gold and cash.
In addition to development capital Paul Tustain has provided management bonds to the company which is held as gold and cash segregated in favour of customers. These management bonds are non-refundable except in final liquidation, in which circumstance they rank behind all other customer property for repayment.
The value of equity in the company and this loan would therefore be lost before any BullionVault customer incurred any loss resulting from breaches of faith or security on BullionVault.com.
This arrangement is structured to underpin the meaning of 'accepting responsibility'.
What are BullionVault's strategic objectives?
BullionVault's objective is to operate the world's most cost-effective, secure and accessible market in professional grade bullion.
We want to do this because :-
- We believe there is a deficit of financial responsibility in many modern governments and financial institutions.
- We believe that modern currencies and other paper-based value systems will inhibit savers from retaining their domestic and worldwide purchasing power.
- We believe that using gold to provide protection from this problem is a strategy which has been inaccessible to individuals at a fair price.
- We believe that we are uniquely well qualified to provide that accessibility and to manage the service in a way which maximises security, accessibility and value for our customers.

Building la Familia de Abraham Gonzales
One thing to keep in mind that the Gonzales name as spelled out in Mexican baptismal records was GONZÁLEZ. For purposes of this blog, consider both spellings as correct. I have borne the name of GONZALES all of my life, as have my 4 siblings, and I would rather not have to spell it with a Z at the end because that requires a written accent mark over the A; an extra step I would rather avoid. As the familia crossed the border into the USA in about 1914-1915, it is certain that the border officials changed the Z to S for ease of writing the Gonzales name, as phonetically, S and Z are very similar. Uncle Julio, Victor's son, managed to preserve the correct spelling of GONZÁLEZ for his family.
I welcome any discussion on this Gonzales familia.
9 comments:
Returned home after an extensive family and research trip to the west coast. I visited the Orange County Clerk's office and secured the marriage licences/certificates for Victor Gonzales who had two subsequent marriages following the death of his first wife, Luisa Ayala. I also went to the San Fernando Mission Cemetery in the San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles)and visited the final resting place for my uncles, Pete and Paul and their wives.
I have been looking for the the final resting place for Luciano Gonzales who died in Los Angeles in about 1918. My cousin, Tony Gonzales, told me that he and his uncle Romo were driving through Los Angeles many years ago and told him that Luciano was buried in the Calvary Cemetery on Whittier Blvd. I went to the cemetery to find his grave to see if there was a marker giving his birth and death dates to see if it was our relative. Alas, there was no marker present. I had previously found a death certificate for a Luciano Gonzales in the Los Angeles County records but dismissed it as not being our relative, but his death date matches the one at Calvary Cemetery. I will have to request the death certificate to verify that it is our relative. After what Tony told me that Romo told him, it may indeed be our relative.Well, I went back to Los Angeles in 2012 and this time I got a copy of the death certificate for Luciano Gonzalez. Upon reviewing it I noticed a different spouse for him. I contacted Frances Gonzales to ask her about this spouse's name and she said that she remembers that Luciano had a second wife by that name so it very likely was the correct Luciano that I was looking for. Happy day!
ReplyDeleteIn further research I discovered, through the help of a distant cousin, that Abraham and Venancia had another child by the name of Silveria Gonzalez. I have not yet located her baptismal record, but I did locate her marriage information, She married Silvestre Espinoza in 1870. She was 20 years old at the time of her marriage. The "informacion martimoniales" record revealed that her parents were, indeed, Abraham Gonzalez and Venancia Medina. More information to add to the tree.

text: These Brilliantly Colored Bolivian Buildings Look Like Alien SpaceshipsVincze Miklós2/23/15 6:00pmFiled to: architecturedesignFreddy Mamani Silvestrecohetillosartbolivia8927EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink These strangely decorated, brightly-colored buildings in El Alto, Bolivia, are the early examples of a new Bolivian architectural style, started after the election of President Evo Morales Ayma in 2006, when the national pride became more important than ever. Appropriately, they are called cohetillos — "spaceships." Advertisement The key architect behind these so-called cohetillos is Freddy Mamani Silvestre. There are more than sixty buildings in the city designed by Silvestre, so he's definitely in the same group with Oscar Niemeyer and Antoni Gaudí, who also changed (or defined) the look of a whole city. Most of these ornated homes are owned by a single family and have at least five stories: shops on the first, a two-story high salon, apartments on the third and fourth stories, and the owner's penthouse on the top.The homes are echoing some designs of the pre-Incan Tiwanaku and traditional Andean cultures. The average price of these homes are between $300,000 and $600,000, which makes them unavailable for the public, but the perfect housing for the Bolivian bourgeoisie. The architect was really touched after visiting the Tiwanaku archeological site and determined to adapt their architectural style to modern architecture. Silvestre never used a computer and never had an office – he does every work on paper.
