I've enjoyed this website immensely, and think it's the very best of its kind. Thank you for sharing your creativity, inspiration and imagination. Thank you also for the effort you put in to make this site enjoyable, interesting, relevant, and aesthetically, a work of art. Ron [To contact Ron Signore, click here] June 29, 2010 Dear Joe, (and you are a"dear" for having taken on this monumental,but wonderous job for so many years).You have brought so much joy, information, and renewed friendship to so many people though your dedication to this site.You probably do not realize how many lives you have affected in a positive way. It is sad to know that I will not be able to look forward to seeing letters, poems, articles, pix, or " snipits" about such a fabulous neighborhood as Kew Gardens . I truly want to say that I appreciate all of your efforts to keep this site alive for this many years.You have your reasons for "moving on", and we former residents have our reasons for wanting " more of the same".We wish you well.It isyour time to relax and enjoy life . Although no one can fill your shoes, perhaps someone will try to "step up" and breathe life into the site once again, even if only for once a month.That would be a great compromise,and a sacrifice, because I know there is much more involved in this task, than" meets the eye ". In closing, I want to add that anytime I wrote to you personally, you responded in a speedy manner, and you were always very kind .I want to wish you and your family the best of health.That is the most important thing in life. Of course, love matters too, and you are loved by many who will miss this site . Sincerely, Edi Beckler Goldberg [To contact Edi Beckler Goldberg, click here] June 28, 2010 dear joe, i am taking the liberty to speak for everyone who ever lived in kew gardens and want to say from all of us THANK YOU VERY MUCH, because of you we were able to return to our roots and contact long lost but never forgotten old friends. best of luck to you always, len schneir [To contact Lenny Schneir, click here] June 28, 2010 Dear Joe, I wanted to thank you for all your efforts in putting together the KG website. It certainly brough many fond memories back for me and my friends. I'm sure it did so as well for many others who viewed this site. I am happy you are keeping it up for us to look at. We'll miss any updates tho Maybe someone will step up and try to do what you've done. Good luck in whatever endeavor(s) you plan. Will you remain in KG? Fondly, Suzy [To contact Suzy DeMaeyer-Blanchard, click here] It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Ruth Mohr Tukeman October 10, 1933 - June 20, 2010 June 28, 2010 Ruth passed away after a long illness. Since August 3, 1958, she was the beloved wife of Dr. Cyril (Cy) Tukeman, loving mother of Mark and Sally Tukeman and Erica and Jeff Gilbert. Grandmother of Sammy and Gabi Tukeman and Robert, Ari and Evan Gilbert and sister of Bill Mohr. She was five years old when the family escaped Nazi Germany and lived in Haiti before immigrating to the U.S. For twenty-five years, Ruth was the head nurse for the Jefferson Elementary School District in Daly City, CA before retiring in 1998.

Best Regards, Steve Katz [To contact Steve Katz, click here] June 28, 2010 One last shot: I have been working on a HO scale model RR based on my childhood in Kew Gardens. Since this site is going away, I have established a facebook group to post photos and discuss stuff. Look for Kew Gardens Subway on facebook, and or me, Jeffrey Trevas. I just started this, so be patient. Thanks to all for these past few years on this site, and, of course, a huge thanks to Joe. Jeffrey Trevas KG from 0 to 17 years [To contact Jeffrey Trevas, click here] June 28, 2010 Joe - Even though I haven't e-mailed you recently, please know that I have visited this wonderful site very, very often and view all the updates. I appreciate the global community you have created here from our home town and how it has helped all of us create new relationships with our old friends from KG. Job very well done! We will all miss you and your wonderful work. Tess Tess Friedman - lived in KG from 1947 to 1970. Huntington Beach, CA [To contact Tess Friedman, click here] June 28, 2010 I just rediscovered your site -- I had seen it earlier, but forgotten about it. I lived in Kew Gardens from 1957 to about 1971 -- and my parents still live there (81st Avenue). I went to PS 99 for 4-5-6 grades and appear in some of the photos for 1957-60 (including, I think, one where my name does not appear). I do remember many of the kids, including the one who apparently gave you the photos, Billy Lowenberger. (I have a recollection of him carrying a pen holder on his belt with a pen and pencil, hanging vertically.) I haven't written to him, but will try to do so. (Then later Russell Sage for 2 years of "SP" and a private high school in Manhattan.) I remember Mr. Ellenport (bought an encyclopedia from him, too), Miss Le Veness (I think it was Mrs... I'm sure I remember her mentioning a husband!... I still recall where she lived, on Lefferts Blvd not far from the Richmond Hill Library.) In some of the earlier photos, I identified the daughters (Lief family) of the people my parents bought our house from. I noticed a note from a Dianne Chen who knows Pamela Leaman, who was in my class, probably all 3 of those years. Her note has a lot more information than I ever knew, but I do recall her family being from South Africa. I'll probably send you a separate note to forward to her. I'm sorry to see that you're going to let the site languish, although I can understand that. Would you consider "handing it over" to someone (not necessarily me, but possibly...)? I know these things can get to be a burden, but I think you've created a wonderful site and even though I now live in Westchester County, I am in Kew Gardens often (most recently last Thursday), and would like to see the site remain "alive".

I have connected with some acquaintances from my past as well as recalled some wonderful experiences as a result of your efforts. I even had the pleasure of meeting you over egg creams at Eddie's! Perhaps we'll do it again some time. It's been a pleasure knowing you and keeping in touch over the years. All the best in your future endeavors.

Buried in a file on my computer was this picture. The long lost shot of the PS 99 hoop and alcove. Had no idea I had it or where it came from. But this is where many of us spent so much time and was literally our home away from home. The stories, hopes and aspiration expressed sitting in that alcove is beyond imagination. Would be good to post it for historical purposes. Larry Gross [To contact Larry Gross, click here] March 17, 2010 Hi there, Well, an old friend of mine asked me if I remembered the name of an airline bar in Kew Gardens and so I set off to Google it. Imagine my surprise and delight when I came upon your website, and my dismay upon reading that the delightful site I had just discovered was about to go away (not that I wish to deny you more free time, I do understand how much time it takes to maintain a site like this). Anyway, I've been reading through the old guestbook archives and just had to say hi to everyone from Kew Gardens. Like many others, I'm no longer living there, but my dad and sister are (Bill and Hope Mertzer - my mom, Shela, passed away over 6 years ago), so my family and I go visit periodicaly. I was tickled to even see my building mentioned - 83-26 Lefferts Blvd - from the son of Gloria Saul, who said that his mom was still living there. I think many of the people who were living there when I grew up are still there. I know my dad has been in the same apartment for over 42 years and before that, they lived in the apartment next door! I didn't go to PS99, but did go to Russell Sage (class of '81) and Hillcrest High School (class of '84), so if anyone knows of any Hillcrest reunions, please feel free to contact me - I've never heard of a single one for our class. I have fond memories of hanging out at Forest Park (despite my mother's admonishments to not walk through the park by myself), playing handball, riding bikes. Pizza at Dani's of course, though I also loved Lydia's on Metropolitan. Eddie's Sweet Shop (who is now on Facebook) and walking through Forest Hills Gardens to get to school. Which makes me think of something - I'd be willing to set up a Facebook page that we could use once this site goes inactive, and link back to this site. It's a lot less time consuming to maintain and Facebook automatically provides for multiple people to administer the site - pictures, discussions, the whole nine yards. Feel free to email me if you're interested and feel free to display my email address with this posting. Anyway, thanks for the memories, it's great to read through all of them, this was an amazing find! Dawn McGee (nee Mertzer) email@example.com March 10, 2010 I will be sad when Joe DeMay will no longer be a part of Old Kew Gardens. In my opinion, Joe Demay is synonymous with Old Kew Gardens, he has been our voice. I'm glad the site will still be up but it won't be the same without Joe and I know that. I would sincerely like to thank Joe for all of his time, effort and heart that went into this website. He will be missed but I hope he stays in touch with us all. Thanks Joe, for everything. Regards, Laurie Fessler email@example.com March 9, 2010 Gerard Cloney-Born January 27th 1931 at 124 Audley Street.Lived there until 1953. Family went to PS 99. Brothers graduated in 1938 and 1940. My sister and I left 99 in 5th grade and went to Queen of Martyrs in Forest Hills. I did find both brothers in your PS 99 archive pictures. I was sent this site by my son. I am fascinated by it and the history of the area. Our house was bought I believe in 1925 or so. It was owned by the developer my Father use to tell us. It had an extra large back yard which pleased my Mother. I viewed the house in the Times last Sunday and did a 360 when I saw the interior. Time moves on. Our block on our side included the Schidenhelm Family the Davis Family-the Brunn Family-the Cassidy Family-from Abingdon Road-up the hill to the water tower. Houses are all still there. As a child we sledded down Audley to the Train Station and then hooked onto the back of a car to be bought back up. It was an idyllic town to grow up in during those years. After the war-everything changed -people moved and didn't return. When my father died we also moved on in 53. So glad for your site-it bought back so many memories. Many thanks. -Gerry Cloney [To contact Gerry Cloney, click here] March 9, 2010 Hi Joe, I hope you're well.

March 9, 2010 Dear Joe, I haven't check the site for a few weeks and now I find that you're calling it quits, so to speak. I wish to extend my thanks along with so many others over the past years for this marvelous project. You need to know that those of us who spent their formative years in KG feel a physical as well as a psychological sense of connection every time we visit the site. Nostalgia on steroids. Perhaps someone would volunteer to at least maintain the guestbook as a point of connection for the rest of us to hold on to. In my first post in 2003 I predicted that the site would become a "nexus for expatriate Kew Gardenites everywhere". Did you anticipate any of that when you started the site? I wish you the best, and thanks to all the frequent contributors for the pictures and memories. with deepest regards, Norman Landsberg Kew Gardens '54-'72 (grad.

Click here to read the article March 1, 2010 Dear Joe, It has been many months since I last visited the site and caught up with the many past postings. I would like to thank you most gratefully for mentioning the passing of my mother Lore Schonbeck. I arrived in NY from Australia in October to spend as much time with my mother as possible. We had four weeks together in Connecticut where she was staying with my cousin and her husband, both doctors, as her condition worsened. A week after I arrived, my wife also came to stay with my mother. Although it was a sad time for us, there were moments of humour while we reminisced about the past. My mother lived in Kew Gardens for many years and although she spent many months travelling all over the world in her retirement she always returned home to her apartment in Kew Gardens. My mother is buried in Maple Grove, along side her late husband. Her funeral was a dignified service where the family read some very nice eulogies. I will miss my mother, who often travelled to Australia to visit me, her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Once again, thank you for your kind thoughts. Best wishes and keep up the great work, Daniel Feldman [To contact Daniel Feldman, click here] February 17, 2010 Joe Ahhhh. Are there medals, or Woscars, or something for the great websites? Doesn't matter really. You've won the hearts of hundreds. Thank you. I've got to get you that article I promised a while back about PS99 students in the 1940s. It should be great fun for the students who are in it, or their children, or possibly their grandchildren.

Love Kevin [To contact Kevin Klauber, click here] February 7, 2010 Surely in Kew Gardens, there must be someone that is IT knowledgable that can take over this wonderful site. I lived in KG from the age of three days to 12 years. And, the photos bring back many memories. The Fish Market where Dani's is now. The Bank of Manhattan where you could maker a deposit of only ten cents. Bohacks, the Flishcman house where we were allowed to play on the big lawn. The hurricane of what was it 38? Which wiped out half of the trees on Beverly Road, and the Elm disease, which wiped out the rest. Over the years there have been thousands that attended PS 99 and moved on in life. This site is a link to their past and roots. It would be a shame to see if disappear into the wilds of the internet. Can anyone take over the site ???? Bill Breeze [To contact Bill Breeze, click here] February 5, 2010 Dear Joe, The time has come to say farewell to the skipper with our memories. And as the lights dim when you sail by we lower our heads in thanks. We envy the new path you will take leaving us behind. There will be no other with your passion to remind us of those special times.

You have managed to put our little village of Kew Gardens on the international stage for all to enjoy, and you have performed a most valuable community service while doing so. My only hope is that the site somehow remain available as a living reference for our children and their children. Joe, in the immortal words of Bob Hope; "Thanks for the memories". A. Linsky [To contact Al Linsky, click here] February 2, 2010 Dear Joe, So sorry to see you go. You have done a great job and you and your web site will be missed. It was a pleasure to have met you and to have contributed to your site. I have reunited with many of my childhood friends which you and your site made possible and for this I will always be grateful. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Best regards, Roger Sabo [To contact Roger Sabo, click here] February 2, 2010 Joe, this is great news. My productivity at work will soar. I will have time to develop a hobby. I can read a book. I can get to know my children, at last. (Poor Lenny Schneir will have no place to publish his poetry). "Thanks" does not suffice for all you have done, and although you are not a native KG'er, I think all will agree you are one of us. Sincerely, Franklin J. Goldberg [To contact Franklin J. Goldberg, click here] February 2, 2010 Joe; I can't thank you enough for all this site has done for so many. In addition to connecting to my childhood and making me realize what a special place I grew up in, it has allowed me to get back in touch with many childhood friends and acquaintances. It will be sorely missed.

HOPE FULLY, IN THE FUTURE ,SOMEONE WLL ATTEMPT THE MONUMENTAL TASK OF PICKING UP THE "BATON AND RUNNING WITH IT". NO ONE COULD FILL YOUR SHOES, MATCH YOUR EXPERTISE IN COMPUTER SKILLS AND PUBLISHING, OR DUPLICATE YOUR ABILITY IN WRITING .IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE WORKED MANY HOURS ASSEMBLING ALL OF THE INTERESTING LETTERS, HISTORICAL FACTS, AND "TIDBITS" YOU RECEIVE CONCERNING THIS SITE. IF SOMEONE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO CONITINUE THE PATH THAT YOU HAVE BLAZED , AT LEAST WE "READERS" WOULD CONTINUE TO FEEL "CONNECTED".

It's not as great as people say. You would have to go outside, in the sun and fresh air. Not healthy. You have done such a great job, many of us will be devastated. If you did a lousy job, we wouldn't care so much. Hopefully someone would be willing to take the baton and keep it going. Anybody else out there with the dedication, smarts, energy and patience to take this on? I would, but I'm 2,000 miles away, and lazy. Ben Roubin [To contact Ben Roubin, click here] February 2, 2010 Hi Joe: Thank you for the incredible job you have done the last ten years. I discovered your site in 2003 and have checked in hundreds of times over the years. You gave me a continued connection to Kew Gardens, though I have not lived there since 1977. I will miss it!

It was jaw-dropping. A couple screenshots are attached, showing the general area and the max-zoom level near where I used to live, Cuthbert Rd. & Lefferts.I tried it myself. This link shows Queens Boulevard and Kew Gardens Road. The old Kew Gardens Inn is at the upper left corner. There is no Queens Borough Hall, no Interboro, and Queens Boulevard is just a two lane dirt road. The apartment houses along Queens Boulevard and the streets running south do not yet exist. This link shows Lefferts Boulevard in the center of town. There are no stores along the bridge between Grenfell and Austin Streets. There are just open lots where the Austin Arms, the Mowbray, and the Homestead Hotel will be. Austin Street east of Lefferts does not yet exist, and the old Kew Gardens Country Club sits on the future site of the Kew Gardens Cinema. The Fleischmann mansion sits on the future site of the Beverly House. January 26, 2010 Hi, Here are my other salvaged PS99 pictures that are not yet on the site. Hopefully someone will be happy to find them here: Grade 1-3 (1964) Grade 2-1 (Mrs. Berland) (1965) (already present, but this photo is in better condition, especially Renee Ryan) Grade 3-2 (Miss Reilly) (1966)

On a recent visit to NYC we found, among other things, this slightly damaged PS99 picture from 1963 in a box my mother kept for me when I moved to Germany over 25 years ago. PS99 1963 K1 Mrs. Bierman Top row center: Henry Vaupel Second row 2nd from left: Robert Ossias My family moved from Forest Hills (Yellowstone Blvd) to Kew Gardens (83rd Drive) in 1963 when I was in Kindergarten. A few years later we moved to the Talbot Apartments on Talbot Street, 1 block away, and were also there while I went to Russel Sage JHS and Hillcrest HS. My father was the caretaker or "super" at both locations. I graduated from PS99 in 1969. In the mid 70's, during high school, we moved to Elmhurst. I've been living in Germany since 1981 and visit NYC every now and then. Best regards to all the people, too numerous to mention (and if I mention one person, I'd really have to mention several others), who are responsible for all the wonderful memories while growing up. Countless funny situations, and many lessons learned from doing stupid things. As a child I was pretty good in doing stupid things. Due to spamming I prefer not to publish the email address, but anyone that asks can have it. I found this site when searching for some information about the old neighborhood. What an overwhelming collection of memories and history this site offers about the folks and the neighborhood I grew up with. Thank you for all your effort. Fantastic!

NY Hardware Start-up Message Board › Follow up from last meetup and much much more!
Haytham E. |
Hello hardwarians,
For those of you who came out last Thursday, I hope you'll agree that it was a truly awesome meetup. We had the privilege of great presenters, and excellent company with the Make It NYC folks. And wasn't that the best pizza we've had? eBay really went all out. Just as a follow up, here are some notes about the speakers as well as some other announcements: 1) The R/GA Accelerator program is looking for the next big connected device startup and is accepting entries until October 11th. If you're selected you'll be incubated at R/GA's amazing office space in midtown and you'll enjoy a pretty impressive mentor list. 2) MakeSimply, a company that helps startups get their products manufactured (and wonderful sponsors to our meetup), launched their education program MakeSimply X Education, which includes workshops on manufacturing and hardware product development. For their first workshop, Machining Techniques, they are giving meetup members $20 off with discount code HWM13SEPT. Sign up here for the workshop! 3) Valery Komissarova from Grishin Robotics talked about how they want to fund consumer robotics, with a focus on design and user experience (but no humanoid robots!). They haven't made an investment in NY yet, so for those of you working on robotics and looking for funding, make sure you look them up! 4) Bunnie Huang told us of some of the complexities around getting your consumer electronic product into retail, by explaining his experience at Chumby. Jeff McAlvay spoke about Tempo Automation, a desktop robot that can produce printed circuit boards. He mentioned he organizes a meetup called "Factory Tours" in the bay area - I would LOVE to have something like that over in NY. If anyone wants to organize it, let me know! Laen spoke about his maker journey, which led to the end of his career and the beginning of OSHPark and their purple boards.

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Sarah Seiter aka MisticUnicorn*Posted 12-31-03* She crouched low to touch the cool earth with her fingertips. A few soft words broke the stillness and the magic passed down from her ancestors flowed into the mossy ground. A circle of mushrooms grew before her eyes, glowing with a pale light. "Spirit of the Woods, I summon you," she whispered into the silvery wisps of mist as they flowed from the glowing circle up into the night. In the distance the Black Hart lifted his head and sniffed the night air, "I come…"

(P)2007 Listen and Live Audio, Inc.
"A Tale of Survival?"
This is a pretty straightforward story about a man trying to survive in the bitter cold of the North. It's well-written and well-told, but otherwise unremarkable. It's difficult for me to see why it's one of Jack London's best-known stories when he has so much other great work out there.
"Nothing to lose"
This is such a well-regarded story and it's offered so cheaply that I found it hard to pass up. The audio is fine and the reader does a fair job, though I sometimes felt the tension in his voice was a bit forced. I think the story could have benefitted from a somewhat graver, perhaps gruffer, voice. But that's nitpicking really.
I might actually prefer to read the paper version on its own, but for a couple of bucks there is nothing to lose here. It's a tense outdoor survival story and I certainly feel like I got my money's worth!
"Maybe we are not invinsible"
Loved it, very detailed writing for a short story. Highly recommended

Voyages to Antiquity
Voyages to Antiquity Review
Voyages to Antiquity Review
Voyages to AntiquityIf you want to really dig into the history and culture of a destination, Voyages to Antiquity is your cruise line. As you may have guessed from its name, the line started with itineraries in Greece, Italy, and Turkey but has since branched out into Asia and Africa. Its single ship, Aegean Odyssey, carries a cozy 350 passengers and cruises two-week itineraries on average. Entertainment consists of small musical acts, which aren't nearly as popular as the many onboard lectures. There's a single dining room, plus an open-air buffet restaurant, both serving essentially the same offerings. Overall, the mood is low-key and casual.
What We Love
No Nickel-and-Diming: Aside from the rare major overland excursion (optional), all shore excursions are included in your fare. Hotel stays, tips, and dinner beverages (wine, beer, or soft drinks) are included, too.
Overnight Port Stays: The ship overnights in prime ports — ideal for cruisers who love to experience a locale's ambiance after dark.
Best Known For
A Great Lecture Program: Aegean Odyssey has more lecturers than you might find on a big ship. Typically, at least two are subject experts, and others might be authors, museum curators, or composers.
Focus on the Destinations: With minimal entertainment options, Voyages to Antiquity puts the focus clearly on the history and culture of its destinations. It's all about taking a deep dive, so you'll come home with great mental souvenirs in addition to those bargains you scored in the market.
Who It's Best For
Intellectual Types: Passengers are the sort who'd rather read a book than play blackjack, and they're avid lecture attendees.
Singles: With 26 dedicated single cabins and a low supplement on double cabins for single occupancy, it's a boon for singles.
Don't Say We Didn't Warn You
There's No Casino: You won't lose your shirt on this line (unless you take it off at the pool).
It's an Older Crowd: Passengers tend to be up in years, yet intrepid. The line partners with Road Scholars on some cruises.

Raphael Meldola, by Solomon Joseph Solomon[1]
Born | 19 July 1849 |
Died | 16 November 1915 | (aged 66)
Nationality | British |
Fields | Chemistry |
Institutions | University of London |
Alma mater | Royal College of Chemistry |
Notable awards | Davy Medal (1913) |
Raphael Meldola FRS (19 July 1849 – 16 November 1915) was a British chemist and entomologist. He was Professor of Organic Chemistry in the University of London, 1912–15.
Born in Islington, London, he was descended from Raphael Meldola (1754–1828), a theologian who was acting minister of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews in London, 1804. Meldola was the only son of Samuel Meldola; married (1886) Ella Frederica, daughter of Maurice Davis of London. He was educated in chemistry at the Royal College of Chemistry, London. There is a portrait of Meldola (oil on canvas) by Solomon J. Solomon in the Royal Society collection; also a photograph by Maull & Fox, visiting card size.
Meldola worked in the private laboratory of John Stenhouse (FRS 1848). He was appointed Lecturer, Royal College of Science (1872) and assisted Norman Lockyer with spectroscopy. Meldola was in charge of the British Eclipse Expedition to the Nicobar Islands (1875) and was Professor of Chemistry, Technical College, Finsbury (1885). He was also an entomologist and natural historian.
Meldola was a member of many scientific societies: Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society; Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry; Fellow of the Chemical Society (London and Berlin); Member of the Pharmaceutical Society; The Geologists Association; The Royal Anthropological Institute; Entomological Society of London. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1886 (Charles Darwin was one of his proposers), awarded the Davy Medal in 1913, and was Vice-President of the Council from 1914–1915.
Meldola was President of the Entomological Society, 1895–1897; the Chemical Society, 1905–1907; Society of Dyers and Colourists, 1907–1910; Society of Chemical Industry 1908-1909; Institute of Chemistry, 1912–1915. He was the first president of the Maccabaeans, 1891–1915. In his honour the Royal Society of Chemistry award the Meldola medal each year.
He discovered the synthetic dye Meldola's Blue.[citation needed]

Lifting the McQueen Ban and Our McQueen Substitutes
- Geoff Rynex
A year ago we decided we were sick of goddamn Steve McQueen showing up in every goddamn article, gallery, slideshow and listicle about icons and their iconic style trademarks. So we banned him. First for six months. Then for a year.
It was surprisingly easy. It forced us to find alt icons where usually we'd use him and it gave us the idea to handicap the icons of the future. We kind of enjoyed being McQueen-free.

This is the first attempt of character design, for the story I am writing with a friend of mine. (and yes, we are yaoi obsessed) To be completely honest, as I am, this picture is 95 % original, cause i was greatly inspired by a pic of some manga artist, unknown to me, which I saw ocassionally, while browsing through some book shop, not long ago. the face , costume, hair, design is mine...but the composition, is...oh, well...INSPIRED.

Cafeteria food was kinda bad
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lake Regional Health System (Osage Beach, MO).
I met with the person in Human Resources who asked the initial questions. Later, I had an interview with the Manager. Neither of the interviews were difficult. I had done some research ahead of time about the hospital.

We R The Lost are a collective hip hop/spoken word effort mostly out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin with rapper and producer Jon Briggz at the core. The group started out as an apparently haphazard band of party-focused rap artists who quickly gained a reputation as such from both fans and detractors. Briggz wanted to tell the real story of the group, and so began the unintentional social movement that is We R the Lost.
Still Lost is We R the Lost's second full-length album. With Briggz's presence on each track the only common denominator, the group works with every possible genre and sub-genre, every style and timbre of hip hop imaginable. A definite highlight is the opening track, "I'm Spotted." With jazzy chill beat a'la Digable Planets, Briggz's vocals on "I'm Spotted" are equally jazzy, warm, and done in a sort of on-beat spoken word style. His vocal style could be equated somewhat to early Nas but with a brighter timbre.
"I'm Spotted, " produced by DelleRideOut, should not be taken as representative of Briggz's and The Lost's only style; Still Lost runs the gamut, but the other consistent element is the production quality and the passion with which Briggz and his compatriots create their work. Still Lost, available on itunes for purchase or on Briggz's Soundcloud to stream (short clips), is as varied as can be and as interesting as anything released in underground hiphop in the last decade.

Paterson, Jim Jarmusch's clever and captivating neo-minimalist film, chronicles seven days in the life of a Paterson, New Jersey, bus driver (named Paterson), his happy marriage and daily routine. In this city of the poet William Carlos Williams, Paterson (Adam Driver, bringing subtle levels of sensitivity to the role) is also a poet. So is Jarmusch in his own refreshingly natural and observant way. Paterson is two hours of serenity, a musique concrète of city sounds and overheard conversation, the music of daily life. The spare, ambient score is by Sqürl (Jarmusch and Carter Logan).
Sqürl's tentative electronic murmurs are first heard under the film's opening credits before morphing into warm synth electronica to accompany Paterson's written words (we see them onscreen as he writes): "We have plenty of matches in our house." What begins as a reference to a preceding scene where we saw Paterson examining a box of matches at home continues at lunch on a park bench overlooking the city's Passaic River and Great Falls. After his Monday bus driving is done, he presents the completed Love Poem to his wife; it stands as a tangible memento of the day. That poem and the others Paterson composes were written for the film by American poet Ron Padgett.
Paterson's wife Laura (Golshifteh Farahani) is joyfully obsessed with various projects: baking cupcakes, learning guitar (with the goal of being a country music star) and black and white colours. She wears various black and white patterns, does black and white interior decor in their house and of course, ices her cupcakes in black and white. The couple's willful English bulldog Marvin is another component of Paterson's daily routine. Each night after dinner the two walk to the neighbourhood bar where Paterson has a social drink or two while Marvin waits outside.
For these scenes, Jarmusch uses pre-existing music, often barely noticeable, to augment a character. Persian singers Ahdieh and Pouran underscore Laura, for example; and Tammy Wynette accompanies her dream of being a country music star, while that theme is extended with a pair of pedal steel guitar excerpts by Jerry Brightman and Gary Carter. The nightly bar episodes are announced with such mood setters as Reuben Wilson's 1960s organ tune Blue Mode, Lester Young's still cool 1940s Blue Lester and Willie West's sincere, soulful I'm Still a Man (Lord Have Mercy).
Jarmusch is fond of doubles, like Paterson the man and Paterson the city; twins are noticeable as bus passengers or in passing; Paterson tells Laura about Petrarch who wrote sonnets to another Laura. Jarmusch uses poets and Paterson personalities as signposts: Williams' epic Paterson; references to Allen Ginsberg, Dante Alighieri, the boxer Hurricane Carter, Sam Moore, the original Sam of soulsters Sam and Dave, comedian Lou Costello, founding father Alexander Hamilton, even a deadpan reference (by Moonrise Kingdom's Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as aspiring anarchists) to the Paterson immigrant who returned to Italy in 1898 to assassinate King Umberto I.
Paterson has a chance encounter with Method Man (a.k.a. Cliff Smith) rapping in a laundromat about the 19th-century black poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. He stumbles on a young girl (Sterling Jerins) who reads him a poem, Water Fall, she has written under the influence of Emily Dickinson. Later, Paterson's writing, briefly and accidentally curtailed, is revived by a conversation with a Japanese tourist (Masatoshi Nagase). Nagase, who was fixated on Elvis in Jarmusch's 1989 Mystery Train, plays a writer caught up in Williams' Paterson, which he carries in a Japanese translation.
A poetic film with touches of Zen.
Paterson begins its theatrical run February 10 at Cineplex Cinemas Yonge-Dundas and VIP.

A bittersweet love story, a song-and-dance musical and an aspirational fable of dreamers pursuing their ambitions, Damien Chazelle's ebullient La La Land jumps off the screen from its breathtaking first scene and never lets up. Embracing an aesthetic that unites the Jacques Demy/Michel Legrand musicals The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The Young Girls of Rochefort with the lush Technicolor Gene Kelly films of the 1950s, Chazelle and his musical soulmate Justin Hurwitz (they met at Harvard as teenagers) plunge us into an alternate universe that is part retro and part contemporary, where the fantasy is grounded by the reality of the showbiz life.
Mia (Emma Stone) is pursuing an acting career; Seb (Ryan Gosling) is a jazz pianist, rooted in his love of classic mid-20th-century music, "pure jazz." They meet briefly in that first scene, a surreal six-minute song-and-dance number on an LA freeway during a traffic jam. Over the next two hours their relationship with their art and each other develops with the help of a half dozen tunes, two of which, Audition and City of Stars, are particularly memorable. In fact, six weeks after I first saw the film at TIFF, I still remembered the understated, sinuously melancholic melody of City of Stars.
Last summer Hurwitz spoke to Variety about his process and how some of the best songs in the movie happened the most effortlessly: "City of Stars started at the piano with me just working on demos for Damien, sending him ideas until something really sparked…We went through a lot of ideas, but I can't really think of any music I was listening to at the time that I was thinking of when I was writing it. I was just composing it from an emotional place and thinking about the tone. I would say the tone is hopeful, but melancholy at the same time. And it kind of goes back and forth between cadencing in major and cadencing in minor, because I think that's kind of what the song is about. You have these great moments and then you have these less great moments in life and in Los Angeles and we see it happen in the story. I was thinking about that idea a little bit and just trying to compose a melody that I thought was shapely and beautiful."
Just as La La Land is Chazelle and Hurwitz's third feature together (after their brilliant debut, the black and white Nouvelle Vague-inspired musical Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench and their breakthrough hit Whiplash), it's also Gosling's and Stone's third collaboration (Crazy, Stupid, Love and Gangster Squad), unusual these days. While they're not exactly Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, their naturalism and star power more than make up for it. If you're keeping score, Gosling's a little surer of foot than Stone but her singing skills surpass his. The fact that both Audition (Stone's career-making plaintive showstopper: "Here's to the ones who dream, Foolish as they may seem") and City of Stars were recorded live as they were filmed is telling, if not extraordinary.
Ultimately, it's Chazelle's and Hurwitz's vision that makes it all work. Mia and Seb even have their own theme; it begins inauspiciously and simply on the piano, grows and recurs as the narrative demands, and changes like the four seasons in which the film is set. You may even be humming it as you leave the theatre walking on a cloud.
La La Land is currently playing at a number of Cineplex Cinemas.

One of the year's best films, Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester by the Sea follows Lee (Casey Affleck) as he copes with his late brother's request that he serve as his 16-year-old nephew Patrick's guardian. Lonergan jumps back and forth in time to paint a fully formed picture of this emotionally scarred handyman/janitor, who has been living in Quincy, a working-class neighbourhood of Boston, since he moved down the road from the fishing village of Manchester after a personal tragedy.
The utter naturalism of the characters as they interact is characteristic Lonergan – real characters, real situations, real interactions – but now we're in the orbit of a mature filmmaker at ease with a world where tragedy doesn't preclude humour (and with the technical skills to convey it). Lucas Hedges as Patrick is one fount of situational comedy; the extraordinary Michelle Williams, as Lee's ex-wife, is another.
Mirroring the action (and the evocative cinematography – especially of Manchester's rows of small hillside houses lit up in the flickering night) is an original score by Toronto-born Lesley Barber (who worked with Lonergan on You Can Count on Me). Uncannily, her score can suggest an element of uncertainty or trepidation at the same time as it expresses calm or warmth; as Affleck's emotions are reined in, unleashed or in a holding pattern, as the case may be. It's an award-worthy performance.
Barber, who began writing the music at the script stage, was inspired in part by 17th-century New England Puritan hymns and threnodies. One element she uses is a haunting, ethereal, soprano a cappella tune (sung by Barber's daughter Jacoba, a third-year music student at McGill who sings in Opera McGill). Another is a minimalist piece for piano and strings with repetitive broken chords reminiscent of Philip Glass, suddenly interrupted by painful sonic dagger thrusts that reflect what Lee is going through in the film.
Lonergan likes to use music as counterpoint. "It always feels right to have the music help you step back a little and look at the whole environment, not just the characters' experience," he told Variety. In that vein, Lonergan supplemented Barber's score with excerpts from Handel's Messiah, Albinoni's Adagio for Strings and Oboe Sonata and a resonant cover of I'm Beginning to See the Light by the Ink Spots and Ella Fitzgerald.
Rufus Norris' London Road is a film adaptation of The National Theatre's groundbreaking musical by Alecky Blythe and Adam Cork about the "Suffolk Strangler" murders in Ipswich in 2006. London Road uses the townspeople's own words describing the events they lived through as the basis for the show's lyrics, creating a fresh and arresting re-imagining of the form. The emotionally empathetic Tom Hardy is one of the townspeople. Watching London Road was an exhilarating experience to the point of walking out of the theatre humming the catchy tunes. This mesmerizing musical hybrid, as satisfying as it was innovative, is at its core a hymn to humanity.
Manchester by the Sea is currently playing at Cineplex Varsity & VIP. London Road can be seen at Cineplex Yonge and Dundas & VIP.

Gimme Danger is iconoclastic American indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch's scrupulous two-pronged documentary look at the Iggy and the Stooges phenomenon. Iggy (aka Jim Osterberg) provides a detailed historical chronology, paying particular attention to the band's musical origins and influences. From the 1950s TV show Lunch With Soupy Sales to the idiosyncratic American composer Harry Partch, from Iggy's brief, meaningful relationship with Nico (on the rebound from Lou Reed) to Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, James Brown and Maceo Parker, the film drops one memorable nugget after another. At his press conference in Cannes (where the film premiered) Iggy also mentioned his indebtedness to Bo Diddley, Link Wray, Frank Zappa and Karl-Heinz Stockhausen. Fascinating.
As a child, Osterberg was fascinated by Clarabell the Clown on the Howdy Doody show. Soupy Sales would solicit his fans to write to him "in 25 words or less." Osterberg thought that was a good length for a song and kept to it as his songwriting developed. Ann Arbor, where Osterberg grew up, was a hotbed of new music. The young Iggy worked in a record store and played with the MC5 when they were a high energy cover band. Before that he played behind the Four Tops and the Shangri-Las. At the same time Partch was "huge for me." He would turn off all lights after smoking pot or taking LSD and soak in his music.
Jarmusch presents it straightforwardly, judiciously including pop culture touchstones from his subject's formative years as well as key video evidence of the band's iconic career. Osterberg's chronicle of Iggy and the Stooges' formation and brief meteoric rise (1967-74) is told with matter-of-fact hindsight and a survivor's instincts. The band that Jarmusch calls the "greatest rock 'n' roll band ever" in the film's opening minutes became an inspirational template for the punk movement that followed. I Wanna Be Your Dog, indeed.
Gimme Danger opened its Toronto exclusive engagement at TIFF Bell Lightbox, November 4.

Meryl Streep walks the finest of fine lines between send-up and sincerity in her inspired portrait of the socialite and patron of the arts, Florence Foster Jenkins (Toscanini was a beneficiary and friend), in this nuanced and enjoyable biopic directed by Stephen Frears: a bon mot here, a visual joke there. For 25 years, the matronly Jenkins promoted classical music through her Verdi Club with annual presentations of vivid tableaux set to the likes of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, in which she would invariably appear, for example, as "the angel of inspiration sent from on high to inspire."
"We'd rather go without bread than Mozart," she said.
Finally able to realize her childhood dream of singing after her father's death, she began performing before her society friends and "music lovers," ultimately making a record and playing a legendary Carnegie Hall concert in 1944 at age 76. It's quickly apparent that the voice she heard in her head was not the one that came out of her mouth; it was excruciating and inimitable. The notoriety of her high coloratura soprano is marvellously captured by Streep and Frears in the film which unfolds over the months leading up to the infamous recital.
The Queen of the Night's aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute from that evening was gleefully depicted in the film, brazenly off key. Yet by this point, Frears and screenwriter Nicholas Martin had humanized Jenkins, her husband St. Clair Bayfield (wittily underplayed by Hugh Grant) and piano accompanist Cosmé McMoon (Simon Helberg, an adept comic actor whose musical training enabled him to actually play as Streep sang, upping the verisimilitude quotient immensely).
Considering the amount of music that was inherently part of the narrative – Adele's Laughing Song from Die Fledermaus and The Bell Song from Lakmé (both enthusiastically and lovingly massacred by Streep and Helberg); Respighi's Valse Caressante (surprisingly sung sweetly and straight by Streep and Helberg); Brahms' Lullaby serenely done by Anne Sofie von Otter and Bengt Forsberg; Take It Easy by Fats Waller wisely used as an instrumental bridge – Alexandre Desplat's discreet score was the model of support, lightly orchestrated contemporaneous jazz-based, even riffing on Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony at a crucial plot point.
Florence Foster Jenkins is currently playing at Cineplex Varsity & VIP and 14 other cinemas in the GTA.

A one-woman media phenomenon and a leading YouTube influencer takes listeners behind the camera and deep inside her world.
Justine Ezarik has been tech obsessed since unboxing her family's first Apple computer. By sixth grade she had built her first website. A decade later she became one of the Internet's first - and most popular - "lifecasters", inviting people around the world to watch her every move 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But it was a one-minute video about an itemized AT&T bill that gave Justine her first taste of viral success: Within 10 days of release, her "300-page iPhone bill" had garnered more than three million views and international media attention. These days, iJustine is a one-woman new media phenomenon: The popular techie, gamer, vlogger, and digital influencer has an army of nearly 3.5 million subscribers across multiple YouTube channels, with total views approaching half a billion.
Now Justine is giving friends and fans a look behind the scenes, sharing never-before-told stories about the hilarious (and sometimes heartbreaking) reality of sharing her life online. With her trademark wit and delightfully weird sense of humor, Justine delivers an inspirational message in support of creativity, entrepreneurship, and the power of staying true to yourself while reminding listeners that the Internet is a very small world - you just never know who you're going to meet.
©2015 Justine Ezarik (P)2015 Simon & Schuster
I just love it there Is not other way to say it, it is just awesome.
I am in love with tech just as much as her. She inspires me that my tech skills can get me somewhere great in life. This is an excellent book.
Writer, Journalist, Drummer. Columnist for the Houston Chronicle and feature writer for various publications. Currently writing my 1st book.
"Interesting(ish), but really juvenile"
It was an interesting read, but I am not sure that this was "book worthy." Seemed more like a really long long long blog post.
"This book is so good!!!!"
I liked this book a lot and the audio version makes it feel like a podcast
Johnny Wilde
Absolutely terrific. I have met iJustine and she is very kind, sweet and a very authentic in person. She gives me hope that girls can be both hot and cool. Great book, very interesting stories, and things that I never knew about her. Very interesting of how she started out. Congratulations iJ - @lifeofwilde
"Perfect audible diary"
I listened to this memoir without knowing who Justine was. now I'm her newest fan. Very impressed with the quality , content, and narration. I found myself looking forward to listening every chance I could. well done.
"An online multimedia mogul"
There is no such thing as an over night success! Justine is a living example of how to live your passion. Thank you for sharing your story with such grace and intelligence.
Dave Erickson
"Inspiring and funny"
Justine is a creative person all around and that is reflected in this book. Her unconventional journey to her career is inspiring and the way she tells her story is the perfect mix of funny anecdotes and serious advice. I recommend it to anyone!!!!
"A trip down memory lane and a brilliant insight."
As a fellow 80's baby with a severe tech habit, I thought this was a great trip down memory lane as well as an insight into Justine's life and journey.
"Utterly Amazing"
Where to start?
Like many reviews already written, I've been following Justine for a while, but I never realised the back story to it. This book is truly amazing taking you through all of Justine's Life, from the high to the lows. With Justine reading this, you just get that extra with her uniqueness on how she explains her life.
If your looking at this now, being undecided wether to buy or not, I would highly recommend! Once I started listening I could not put this down!
"Just amazing..."
I have to start by the story, it is an unforgettable one with highs and lows. Justine really did a good job writing and narrating this story. It's a nice length and didn't get boring. I couldn't stop listening to it. I would highly recommend you listen to this!

"Amazing story and book"
Always been fascinated by Justine's life and I'm so happy that's she's released this book telling the stories of how she came to where she is today. Brilliant book made even better by Justine reading it, definitely going to listen to it again.
"very interesting, funny and gripping"
I have followed ijustine online for many years now, but I didn't realise how much I didn't know about her. A genuinely interesting and informative story of times before YouTube. Funny and lovely. Was truely sad to come to the end!
"The real iJ"
I thought I knew ijustine inside and out before listening to this book... Turns out I did not. I loved iJ reading me her book that she painstakingly wrote over the past two years, I feel truly blessed by her story and positivity she exudes. If I can be half the person iJ is I'll be happy :)
"Good stuff"
Well worth a listen if you are into all tech stuff.
Nice work would recommend!
