Ode to Section 16
By Noel Black On September 29, 2010 · 11 Comments · In A Big Something, Hiking, Local Issues, Outdoors and Nature, Parks, Personal Essay
(All photos by Eva Syrovy and Noel Black)
Yesterday, the Colorado Springs City Council approved the purchase of Section 16 from the State of Colorado, adding 640 acres of adjacent open space to the already remarkable Red Rock Canyon Open Space and the recently purchased White Acres, preserving for the community an inestimable treasure that will be a legacy for many generations to come. Local teacher and writer Eva Syrovy is a regular at Section 16 and wrote this essay, which accompanies the slide show above.
"The Colorado Springs Woods" by Eva Syrovy
Grandpa was the classic Czech success story. Born the son of a country schoolmaster, he graduated from a technical college, and climbed to director at the Zbrojovka arms factory. He faced tough choices during and after World War II, and made decisions I questioned as an adolescent, but understand as an adult. When I was five, he taught me to add, while he, a retired engineer, designed his dreams at his desk; when I was seven, he drilled me in multiplication– and I didn't mind, and didn't forget. When I was ten, he died, and I measure every man I meet to his memory.
About me, he used to say, 'Eva will never get lost,' and I, too young for metaphor, imagined what kind of forest I might visit in which getting lost might be a possibility. The two of us would hike for miles into the woods around Brno, where he and my grandmother lived. Sometimes we'd hunt for mushrooms, but mostly we'd just walk. I don't remember a single conversation, but I date my ease in the wild lands from those summers and winters in the coniferous Czech Taiga.
I doubt he knew Colorado Springs, though he visited the United States several times. But he would have loved it here. He would have photographed the brilliant afternoons, when the impending sunset frames every tree in luminous gold, and the pearly mornings when light and shadow are so clearly separated. His long legs would have explored Barr Trail, Waldo Canyon, the Garden of the Gods and Red Rock Canyon in his first season; but, just as I have, he would have fallen in love with Section 16.
At the trailhead, the parking lot is stuffed in the late afternoons; people are getting out and leashing impatient dogs, unloading bikes, setting chronographs. And generally I meet a few folks on the first few switchbacks; once there was a whole company of soldiers thudding down the trail. Trees and roots make a steep, almost unceasing natural staircase that lead to views that surprise with how much I've climbed. The otherwise ubiquitously weedy elms have lost the battle with elevation here, and mountain mahogany and gamble oaks compete for trailside space. Black-eyed Susans, Rabbitbrush, asters, pastel sage and sky-pilot grow out of the soil pinked by the plagioclase of the Pikes Peak granite. Hummingbirds flit a few feet away, and turkey vultures and Redtail hawks sail the distant updrafts.
Soon enough I'm in the conifers, and it's quiet except for rooting birds and skittering chipmunks, and now and then a mountain biker attempting to negotiate an acute turn. It doesn't seem possible that the thrumming traffic of highway 24 is just a couple of miles away. Pine and spruce branches shade out the undergrowth. Wild roses speckled with ripening rosehips edge the trail.
At the ridge-top, a little over a mile and a half from the trailhead, the westering sun blinds me, and even though I can run this gentler grade, I slow down to discern the trail. Light dissects the ridges ahead, wooded horizon on horizon, folded into variegated shadows; the antennas of Cheyenne Mountain crown the furthest, bluest one. I can see the trail winding across the valley through a rare bare spot, and High Drive angling across the hillside – I'll be there soon. From now on I'll have to dodge more mountain bikers, the ones that don't want to try the technical stuff I've just climbed. The track softens to sandbox consistency in spots, and in others crumbles down into the ravine, leaving just the width of a running shoe.
And the trail sails down, past purple and red mushrooms, past a stream cascading through a bouldered ravine, past deciduous and coniferous groves. Through the V between the hills, the sun illuminates the city nestled in its urban forest, the severe lines of highways, the airport and water towers in the distance. I meet groups of women, college students, families, lone and coupled runners, cyclists guided and independent, dogs different in breed but equal in happiness. Everyone says Hi, or at least nods through the panting. Even on the busiest afternoons, though, I'm mostly alone, feet pounding the crumbling soil, miles peeling away. When I get to the High Drive trailhead, just a mile of steep dirt road remains. Longboard riders passed me here the other day, going as fast as a car might, wheels and teeth chattering over the rocks.
Many years ago, a friend proudly showed me the Vienna woods. I felt intensely envious as she talked about how this park in Austria allowed city dwellers to leave noise and congestion and stress behind. I didn't know about Section 16 then. We could have called it the Colorado Springs Woods, but its name carries just enough in-the-know pedestrian cachet, doesn't it?
Preserving it is one of the best things we've ever done. My grandfather would have admired us for it.

Indeed, it's a great day for Colorado Springs when an open space purchase is approved unanimously by our City Council.
Eva, your words inspire me to slow down and breathe in all aspects of the land, and to revel in dogs' inherent ability to be "equal in happiness." Wonderful photos, Noel.
Sandra says:
WOW! What a beautiful essay, Eva! I, too, loved the line about the dogs "different in breed, equal in happiness," the longboard riders, "wheels and teeth chattering over the rocks," and all the lovely descriptions of landscape and flora. [Imagine enthusiastic applause here.]

Islands, rivers, mountains and villages: holiday destinations from those in the know
Best of
The Old Town of Rhodes
This is an excerpt from the book Travels through History : 9 Greek Islands , newly available on Amazon.
Most travellers to Rhodes, the largest of the Dodecanese Islands, visit the Old Town of Rhodes and the ancient town of Lindos with its acropolis dating from the 6th-Century BCE. It may come as a surprise to learn that Lindos is around 500 years older than Rhodes Town and that Lindos was instrumental, along with two other city states on Rhodes – Kameiros and Ialyssos, in the founding of Rhodes Town, which became the capital of the island in 408BCE.
These four city states then allied themselves with the strongest military and political powers of the times. This nimble diplomacy lead to burgeoning wealth and importance as evidenced by the building of the Colossus of Rhodes in 304BCE. One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, this massive statue stood for approximately 80 years before being toppled by an earthquake. Economic decline set in when Rhodes became involved in the break-up of the 1st Roman triumvirate when the island was sacked by Cassius Longinus in 43BCE. During the next thousand years, Rhodes was passed from the Byzantines to the Genoese, who then handed over control to the Knights of St John in 1309. The Knights used Rhodes as their main base until ousted by the Ottoman Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent in a long siege between 1522 – 1523. As part of the Ottoman Empire, Rhodes fell into obscurity once again until the island was seized by the Italians in 1912.
Visiting the old town of Rhodes is a memorable experience as there are historical sights from different eras rubbing shoulders with each other at every turn. Most of the old town is medieval and was built in the 14th Century by the Knights Hospitaller. The old town became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 and is an incredibly popular place to visit. Indeed, when a cruise ship arrives in the harbour, avoid the main arterial streets, Sokratous and Ippoton, and head south into the warren of cobbled alleys where there are fewer shops and restaurants, and discover the many interesting sights of this area, not all of which are mentioned in guidebooks.
Starting in the north-west of the Old Town, the first major sight the visitor comes across is the Palace of the Grand Masters, which was rebuilt by the Italians after an ammunition explosion destroyed the original building in 1856. The idea was that the reconstructed Palace would be an ideal place for Mussolini to spend time during the summer, but he never came near the place. The outside appearance is true to the original building, as authentic medieval plans were used in the reconstruction, but the same can't be said for the inside, which was designed to make a Fascist dictator feel at home.

This is an excerpt from the book Travels through History : 9 Greek Islands , newly available on Amazon.
In Homer's Iliad Symi is mentioned as the domain of King Nireus, who fought in the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks and Thucydides writes that during the Peloponnesian War there was a Battle of Syme near the island in January, 411 BC, in which an unspecified number of Spartan ships defeated a squadron of Athenian vessels. Little else is known of the island until the 14th century, but archaeological evidence indicates it was continuously inhabited, and ruins of citadels suggest it was an important location.
Like many Greek Islands, Symi was first part of the Roman Empire and then the Byzantine Empire. However, unlike many Greek Islands, Symi was conquered by the Knights of St. John in 1373. This conquest fuelled by the Knights' interest in shipping and commerce, launched what was to be a period of several centuries of prosperity for Symi, as its location made it an important waypoint for trade until the advent of steam-powered shipping in the 19th century.
The island was conquered in 1522 by the Ottomans (along with Rhodes) but it was allowed to retain many of its privileges, so the prosperity continued virtually uninterrupted. Symi was noted for its sponges which provided much of its wealth. It attained the height of its prosperity in the mid-19th century, which is why so many of the mansions covering the slopes of Symi Town date from that period.
Although Symiots took part in the Greek War of Independence of 1821–1829, Symi was left out of the new Greek state when its borders were drawn up and so remained under Ottoman rule. Symi, along with the rest of the Dodecanese, changed hands several times in the 20th century: in 1912 the Dodecanese declared independence from the Ottomans as the Federation of the Dodecanese Islands, though they were almost immediately occupied by Italy. The island was formally ceded to Italy in 1923, and on 12 October 1943 it was occupied by the Nazis. At the end of World War II, the surrender of German forces in the region took place on Symi and the island was subject to several years of occupation by the British. Symi finally became part of Greece in 1948.
Arriving at Symi Town is the loveliest way to begin any visit to a Greek Island. The bay has low hills on all sides and on those hills are stacked differently coloured ochre Italianate mansions, each one a slightly shade to its neighbour. The slope of the hills means these mansions appear in neat rows above one another, leaving the visitor spellbound by the man-made beauty. Added to this are lines of sail boats, small ferries, and large yachts bobbing rhythmically on the swell by the quay.
The wealth of Symi has been based on sponge diving and shipbuilding. Indeed just over a hundred years ago, these two industries meant more people lived in Symi Town than lived in nearby Rhodes Town. Symi has always been famed for its shipbuilding and legend has it that Symi provided 3 ships for the Greeks in the Trojan War. Nowadays tourism is the main earner, with enough expats staying on the island to allow some businesses to remain open all year round. Some of the houses built in the last two centuries have fallen into disrepair and the more you explore, the more ruins you will find.

I had arrived at the town of Pythagorio on the ferry from Patmos. Pythagorio is the Samian destination for ferries from the Dodecanese Islands. The port of Vathy on the northern side of Samos is the terminus for ferries to the other Aegean Islands, whereas Karlovassi towards the western end of Samos is the place to catch ferries to the Cyclades. There's more to Samos than meets the eye and the coast of Turkey is only about two miles away to the east.
Visiting the area around Pythagorio I was struck at how many of the substantial ruins didn't have any written explanation as to their origin. There'd be a small acropolis in the middle of a field, a large section of town wall by the roadside, or a Roman baths close to a hotel, with no information as to their age or significance. The irony is that the best known ancient site, the Heraion a UNESCO listed World Heritage Sight, whilst extensive, has only one heavily restored column to give the place a sense of perspective and depth.
Walking around the ancient harbour of Pythagorio, parts of which are 2,600 years old, the visitor soon comes to a statue of Pythagoras, who was born i the area around 574 BCE. He was one of a number of intellectuals – Aesop, Aristarchus, and Epicurus were others – who thrived on Samos during the prosperous reign of the tyrant Polycrates in the 6th Century BCE. With the rise of the Athenian city state and the killing of Polycrates by the Persians, Samos declined and never reached the same heights again, becoming part of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires before joining the Greek state in 1912.
The Archaeological Museum in Pythagorio has two floors and an extensive outdoor section where the walls, dwellings, and temples of Ancient Samos can be viewed from a raised walkway. Indoors my highlights from the collection include 7 terracotta dolls dating from 500 BCE, a vase in the shape of a running hare, grave stele with palmettes on top, a large marble sarcophagus in the shape of a temple, a large status of the Roman Emperor Trajan, and a hoard of 300 gold Byzantine coins found in a bronze jug.
At the western end of Pythagorio, right by the shoreline, is the castle built by a local strongman Lykourgos Logothetis in the 19th Century. Next door are the ruins of a very early Christian church. From the castle, the visitor can walk westwards along the path towards the Doryssa resort and pass many ruins along the way including an acropolis, former town walls, and Roman baths.
Heading back into town, walking up the hill and then taking another road out of Pythagorio in a westerly direction, I came to the Panayia Spillani monastery and the attraction here, other than the cats lying on piles of carpets, is the subterranean shrine to the Virgin Mary, found about 100 yards inside a cave. The miniature church is impressively manicured despite the permanently damp conditions. This cave was also the place where the priestess Phyto – known as the Samian Sibyl – gave out prophecies including one prediction of the birth of Jesus in a stable. Further along the same road, passing an ancient theatre still used for performances, is the entrance to the Efpalinio Orygma.
This ancient aqueduct is 1036 metres long and was built by Eupalinos of Megara on the orders of Polycrates, using slave labour. The tunnel was dug through solid rock by two sets of slaves starting at opposite sides of the hill and working towards each other. The whole venture was a success and the aqueduct provided the town with running water until Byzantine times.

This is an excerpt from the book Travels through History : 9 Greek Islands , newly available on Amazon.
The first inhabitants of Tinos were probably the Phoenicians, followed by the Ionians in the 11th century BCE. Two tombs from the Mycenaean period have been discovered in the area of Kyra Xeni, and about fifty archaeological sites in the area of Xombourgo.
The island came under the authority of the Persians in 490 BCE, but the inhabitants rapidly regained their freedom after the battle of Marathon ten years later. Tinos became a member of the Delian Alliance, which was dominated by Athens, and instituted democracy. In 386 BC, the island became independent.
Tinos soon came under the authority of Philip of Macedonia. After the death of his son Alexander the Great, the island was ruled by the Egyptian Ptolemies, the successors of Alexander the Great. In the 2nd century BC, Tinos, with all the other islands and the mainland of Greece, became a part of the Roman Empire.
During Byzantine times, the inhabitants moved from the seaside to the interior of the island in order to protect themselves from the many devastating pirate raids. One of the few things known about Tinos during the Byzantine times is that it was a time of epidemics, fear, and insecurity for the island.
Tinos is recommended for those people who want to visit an island in The Cyclades that has more visitors from the rest of Greece than non-Greek visitors. Tinos is the most important Orthodox centre of worship in Greece but is also an important Catholic centre too, due to the Venetians holding out against the Turks until 1715, a lot longer than the rest of Greece. This mixture of religions is so rare in Greece and gives the island a particular character.
The main reason for the influx of Greek visitors is the church at the top of the hill in Tinos Town. The Panayia Evangelistra was built on the spot where an amazing icon was found in 1822 by a local nun, Ayia Pelayia. The nun is now the 'patron saint' of Tinos. The timing couldn't have been better as the Greek War of Independence had only started the previous year and the 'chance' discovery served to reinforce the relationship between the Greek Orthodox Church and the cause of Greek independence from Turkey.
In the church today, visitors can still pay homage to the icon, even though it's well hidden beneath a layer of jewels and other gifts. Some pilgrims ascend the plush, red-carpeted stairs to the church on their knees, symbolising the veneration the icon can generate in some believers. In the crypt there's a mausoleum to the sailors who were killed when the Greek cruiser, Elli, was torpedoed by an Italian submarine when she was at anchor of Tinos in 1940. There's another memorial to this ship on the waterfront about three hundred yards to the east of the ferry terminal. The tragedy was that the Elli was taking part in the celebrations of the Feast of the Assumption when she was torpedoed and no one was on lookout as Greece was still at peace with the Fascist states of Northern Europe.
Tinos is renowned throughout Greece for the excellence of their craftsmen in producing marble ornamentation and this is particularly evident in the town of Pyrgos with its School of Fine Arts and Museum of Marble Crafts. Tinos is also famous for its dovecotes – there's even a dovecote trail to follow if you hire a car. I'd heard a village called Tarambados had a great selection of dovecotes, so I caught the bus to the interior and got off at the village. There was no one around, but I saw at least five dovecotes in the mid-distance and sure enough there were soon some signs, which took me by streams, through fields, and along walls. The fields were full of vegetables and the hedges and low trees were full of the sounds of insects, especially bees who were attracted by the copious wild flowers. The dovecotes were bigger than the houses in the village and were attractively decorated with intricate triangles, circles, and honeycomb patterns.
When the Fourth Crusade lurched violently out of control and sacked and captured Constantinople in 1204, instead of heading to the Holy Land, the ramifications for Tinos were enormous. The island was no longer part of the Byzantine Empire and instead was ruled by a private Venetian citizen named Andrea Ghisi, who captured the island in 1207, along with his brother Jeremiah. One of their first moves was to erect fortifications on the Exobourgo Mountain, making it a stronghold. The "Castle of Saint Helen" as it was called, took its name from a chapel on the peak.

In around 1600 BCE, it was the Minoans from Crete who had the first recorded presence on Paros, tuning the island into a naval station with the name of Minoa. In 1100 BC, the Ionians became rulers of the island destroying the Minoan civilization on the island though traces can still be seen in the Mycenaean Acropolis near Kolimbithres.
In 1000 BC, Paros was taken by the Arcadians and became a power in the region, creating a colony on the island of Thassos. There was a cultural flourishing too with the construction of many temples, like a temple dedicated to goddess Athena (some of the columns from which can be seen to this day in the Kastro in Parikia) and the healing centre of Asklepieion.
Paros is the birthplace of many ancient poets such as the lyrical poet Archilochus, the first to use personal elements rather than heroic ones in his poetry. During ancient times, Paros was famous for its high quality semi-transparent marble, from the Marathi Quarries. This marble was used for the Temple of Apollo on Delos, the Venus of Milos (in the Louvre in Paris), and the statue of Hermes, by Praxiteles, at Olympia.
During the wars with Persia, Paros fought on the Persian side, but were defeated by the Athenian army. In 338 BC, the island came under the rule of Philip of Macedonia and became part of the Macedonian empire. After the death of Alexander the Great, Paros was taken over by the Ptolemies.
The ferries arrive on Paros at Parikia, a town of white houses with blue windows and doors, narrow streets, and shady courtyards, all found under a beautiful blue sky. The most important tourist sight in Parikia is the church known as Ekatondapyliani – "The One Hundred Gated". The first church on this site, called Katopoliani – "facing the town" – was founded in 326AD by St Helen, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. However, most of what's visible today dates from two centuries later and the time of Justinian. From a historical perspective this church is the most important in the Aegean and should not be missed, even by the most casual observer.

For their October wedding at The Parador, Christina and Paul created a theme based on where they came from and where they'd been. In the bride's words, "Our wedding was inspired by our travels, and each of our cultures and favorite destinations was reflected throughout some part of our day." Set on the gorgeous grounds of The Parador, a circa-1928 Texas Historical Landmark that blends Mediterranean style with Byzantine detail, the couple's wedding featured soft-hued succulents (even atop the lovely white wedding cake—perfect!), tables named for the couple's many travel destinations, and culinary delights including green-chile risotto in honor of Paul's home state of New Mexico. The bride's delicate mantilla veil, meanwhile, spoke to her Mexican heritage. Despite the fact that both Christina and Paul are deaf, the pair made music a major part of their celebration, starting with a string-quartet processional of the Beatles' "In My Life." For their reception entrance, Christina and Paul chose the Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "to honor my late father and his favorite group," the bride says. We are hopelessly in love with Sarah McKenzie's timeless photos of this truly wonderful wedding. Congratulations, Christina and Paul, and thank you so much for sharing your special day!

A pet site of mine that becomes whatever I am feeling at that point in time. Worked a 12 hour day today so I don't have a ton of juice to put something ...more... meaningful up.
The purpose of this article is to show something built using BitBucket and AppHarbor. Demos for potential employers never have to be something fancy. Just show off what you know. They do need to have some meat to them and generally show off something more advanced than "Hello World" but for a Junior position this demo would definitely get your foot in the door for an interview. (No that is not me telling you to use my code as a demo! Write your own, but I'm sure you get the jist)
In case you missed the article I'm referring to, Software Development... The last frontier of free to learn high salary jobs. All it takes is some creativity and dedication and you can do anything you put your mind to! (Because people will ask, this demo took about 4 hours to build. It's an older demo of mine and yes all the code is custom. I don't do copy and paste jobs :-))
If you want to play around on it here's the instructions.
1) If you don't have Google Chrome, go install it (No promises this will work on other browsers)
3) Click the Login link and fill in a UserName and click "Update". (There is no backing database to this, so no information is stored. Just in case you were worried. You just need a UserName to show over your character)
4) Walk around using your arrow keys and see everyone else walking around too! Don't mind Groc... He's an idiot.
If I get 200 views on this article I'll post all the source code on GitHub under GPL and update with a link to it (Or if a few people ask very nicely).

'Batman Returns' 25th Anniversary
Tim Burton made exactly the movie he wanted — and exactly the movie Warner Bros. didn't.
When the time came to craft a follow-up to his 1989 mega-hit Batman, Tim Burton made exactly the movie he wanted — and exactly the movie Warner Bros. didn't.
Given how superheroes have taken over cinemas over the last decade or so, it's easy to forget what a gamble that initial Batman had been when it first came out. The only serious take on superheroes before then had been 1978's Superman, directed by Richard Donner and starring Christopher Reeve, and that franchise didn't take long to peter out: Superman IV: The Quest For Peace (1987) signaled the ignominious end (for nearly twenty years, it would turn out) of the Man of Steel's big-screen career.
But then came Batman (and bat-hype). Arriving in theaters amidst an avalanche of toys, T-shirts, and other tie-ins, the Caped Crusader's much-ballyhooed big budget revamp shifted the landscape for blockbusters so rapidly that it caught nearly everyone by surprise — except for the kids and comic book fans, who eagerly drank it all up and went to theaters again and again. By the time it finished its theatrical run, Batman (1989) had made more than $400 million worldwide against a $35 mil budget, and birthed a genuine cultural phenomenon in the process.
Given that, it's easy to see why Warner Bros. wanted to get a sequel into theaters as quickly as possible. However, in those innocent days before things like sequel clauses had become standard operating procedure when attaching talent to big-ticket franchises like this, the first thing they needed to do was woo director Burton back into the big chair, and the second was to get star Michael Keaton to don the rubber cape and cowl yet again. Given that the reticent Burton didn't have a particularly good time making the first one, getting him to come aboard for a follow-up wasn't the easiest ask.
What ultimately got Burton back into the fold was the promise of creative control, with the previous film's hands-on producing duo of Jon Peters & Peter Guber kicked upstairs and given ceremonial executive producer titles. Thus, with Burton now firmly in charge, Keaton quickly signed on (after a significant salary boost), and the director hired screenwriter Daniel Waters (Heathers) to help him shape a very different vision than what the studio likely expected.
For Burton, the chance to sequelize one of the biggest hits of all time was less about repeating himself than it was getting a chance to tell a tragicomic Christmas parable that showcased his particular storytelling proclivities (while largely eschewing faithfulness to the DC Comics mythology). That makes Batman Returns, which hit theaters in summer of 1992, unlike any Batman project to emerge before or since, and perhaps the most daring superhero sequel ever made, especially for how thoroughly it serves as a vehicle for its director's unfettered id.
The story begins with the birth of a monstrously deformed child to the wealthy Cobblepot family of Gotham (Paul Reubens and Diane Salinger), who promptly dump the baby, in his carriage, into the Gotham River. Picking up three decades later, the child has grown into the monstrous Penguin (Danny Devito), who orchestrates a crime wave from his sewer lair and eventually forms an alliance with corrupt businessman Max Schreck (Christopher Walken), who puts the Penguin forward as a mayoral candidate with his backing. Meanwhile, Schreck's secretary Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer) suffers a near-death experience at her employer's hands, but comes back to life thanks to the magical intervention of a coterie of cats. This in turn prompts her to fashion a leather-vinyl costume and take on the identity of Catwoman.
You'll notice, I've barely mentioned Batman and/or Bruce Wayne thus far. Batman Returns is such an overstuffed confection that the titular hero feels like even more of a guest star than in Batman (where he was almost blown off the screen by Jack Nicholson's bombastic Joker). Burton's interests are clearly more focused on the sideshow escapees he's assembled like something out of a German expressionist film (it's no accident that DeVito's Oswald Cobblepot, when duded up in topcoat and tails, looks exactly like Werner Krauss' Caligari from the 1920 silent horror classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari).
Indeed, the entire project feels less rooted in reality than the gothic skyline and cityscapes that production designer Anton Furst created for the previous film in the franchise (Furst passed away in 1991.) For Batman Returns, Burton worked with designer Bo Welch (with whom he'd worked on Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands) to further loosen Gotham City from the tethers of reality, reimagining it as a Grand Guignol dreamscape, a nightmarish fairyland where even the joyful spirit of Christmas is subsumed by a feeling of ominous, encroaching dread.
As such, it's somehow kind of remarkable how Keaton is able to ground the proceedings and make his mark, all while deepening and enriching his very unique take on millionaire Bruce Wayne and his bat-winged alter ego. The central romance between Wayne and Selina Kyle –both in and out of their black leather ensembles – proves surprisingly poignant, as we watch two characters who are clearly meant to be together yet never can be ("Don't you see," says Wayne to Selina at the climax, "We're the same. Split down the middle.")
In addition to playing romance masterfully against Pfeiffer, Keaton also had the opportunity this to show audiences new dimensions ofWayne, letting us see him go "undercover" in the boardroom opposite Walken's Schreck (who is truly at his most Walken-esque here), plying his playboy persona to uncover new information about the tycoon's plans. Seeing how confidently Keaton settled back into the role for his sophomore offering can't help but make you mourn for all the follow-up performances we never got in subsequent Bat-sequels.
The actor was famously loyal to his director, and had made clear in contemporaneous interviews that without Burton at the helm, his interest in any future outings would be substantially dimmed. With that in mind, it's also easy to see, when viewed holistically, why Batman Returns would end up being Burton's swan song in the franchise he'd brought into the world. The dark subject matter and even darker (at times) execution, while perfectly in line with Burton's own sensibilities, would prove a bridge too far for many parents who were pressured to buy Batman Returns-themed backpacks and Happy Meals.
Above and beyond making a successful sequel, Warner Bros. wanted to move merchandise in the same way it had done three years earlier, and that's hard to do when your flick starts with a child being abandoned into the sewers and the villain's big scheme is to kidnap and kill every firstborn child in the city. And so, while Batman Returns had a then-record opening weekend of $46 million, audiences soon tapered off.
With a $266 million global haul, it was no doubt a huge success, but it also cost more than the first one and made substantially less, and so the studio couldn't help but feel they'd left some money on the table. This then prompted a massive, behind-the-scenes "creative reshuffling" for the franchise's next installment, 1995's Batman Forever, directed by Joel Schumacher and starred Val Kilmer (this new take on Batman, too, would prove hugely successful...until 1997's follow-up Batman & Robin, when it suddenly wasn't).
Time has the ability to add new textures to cinematic experiences that might not be apparent upon initial release, and when viewed with the benefit of a quarter-century's worth of hindsight, it's impossible not to appreciate Batman Returns for the fascinating oddity that it is. While the story beats are often incongruous in both narrative and tone, there's unquestionable artistry in the mad world Burton brought to life and the confidence with which he dropped it right smack into the middle of what should have been mainstream family entertainment.
In 2005, thirteen years after the curtain came down on the Burton wing of the Bat-mythos, director Christopher Nolan took the reins of the property with Batman Begins and its subsequent sequels, imbuing it in the process with a spirit of grounded realism that stands in stark contrast with Burton's dreamlike, fanciful vision. Rather than one being better or more "right," this just demonstrates the franchise's remarkably elastic ability to withstand multiple tonal resets. It also highlights the special place of Batman Returns in the Batman's history as a character, and as a filmmaker's very personal statement about love, loss, and loneliness draped in the scalloped leather cape of a summer superhero blockbuster.

10 Contemporary Living Room Design Ideas
Striking examples of contemporary living spaces
Creating the perfect contemporary living room is all about balancing style and interesting architectural features without sacrificing a comfortable atmosphere.
All too often the cosiest room in the house can be left bare if not carefully considered.
These modern homes are great inspiration for amazing contemporary interior design for your own project.
1. Add a Modern Splash of Colour
This contemporary chapel conversion is not shy to incorporate a bright painted wall to lift the white walls to create a warm and inviting interior. The industrial-inspired look is completed by exposed steel beams and a plywood balustrade leading to a mezzanine designed by the homeowner.
2. Vary Ceiling Heights
In this stunning self build, the sloping ceiling draws the eye to views of the dramatic landscape, while the interior is clad in OSB – oriented strand board – (with Aquafire FRC finish to Class 1) for a raw contemporary finish.
3. DIY Polished Concrete Flooring
The homeowners of this modern home created their own polished concrete floor. The cracks and imperfections as a result of doing it by hand were incorporated into the contemporary design as gold resin filled the gaps for a unique finish. Vibrant pink kitchen units and lighting create a bold contemporary colour scheme.
4. Include Stylish and Practical Shelving
Recessed shelving is built into the walls as an unobtrusive storage solution for books and other family items in this modern accessible bungalow. Timber beams are incorporated to zone the open plan space without isolating the area.
5. Create Picture Frame Interior Windows
They key to modernising this Victorian terrace house was to punch through walls, creating 'picture frame' windows throughout the ground floor. The end result is a fresh, social living room that is complemented by the neutral, matt palette of materials.
6. Include Flexible Spaces for Modern Family Living
Rather than including a traditional doorway, this self build's snug flows through from kitchen and hallway with large pocket doors that can be closed off when needed.
7. Create Unique Interior Cladding
The cedar cladding in this converted chapel creates an understated and warm focal point for the open plan living area. This cost-effective feature is a stunning contemporary contrast to the traditional form of the building.
8. Zone Spaces in Open Plan Living
This living room in an American-style remodel feels modern yet warm due to the exposed brickwork wall that partially separates the kitchen from the dining space. Zoning an open plan area in this way is a great way to make the space feel social without being too cavernous.
9. Bathe in Natural Light
Modern trends towards dark and bold colour palettes can be balanced by including large amounts of glazing to maximise natural light. In this London self build, the grey interior of the living room is flooded with light from the parallel bi folding doors.
10. Design Contemporary Double-height Glazing
A fully glazed, double-height living room – made possible by the steel frame construction – takes maximum advantage of the spectacular location of this waterside home.

The New Orleans DJ/producer wants to spark Millennial-led change with house music.
"All this shit goes together at the end of the day," said local DJ/Producer Lil Jodeci. "It's dance music, that's the point."
Lil Jodeci, born Keith Cavalier, started making house music with fellow producer Brandon Ares in his Gentilly shotgun home just a few years ago. Back then, it wasn't clear whether tradition-centric New Orleans was ready to ride the wave of a youth-driven electronic scene. Thumping computerized beats over futuristic sound morphs seem antithetical to the local musical experience promised by French Quarter brochures. This is a city that values live music above all else. If you can feel the performer's spit on your face, you're doing it right. Generation Y, however, doesn't mind a less-traditional live music experience, and those young people are leading the way in EDM. For us Millennials, a personal, visceral musical experience is equally as valuable as the spectatorial kind.
Cavalier started out by throwing low-profile underground parties which slowly evolved, growing bigger and louder. It's been almost three years since he co-founded the artist collective Pink Room Project in 2016. Today, he's a resident DJ at the Hi-Ho Lounge where he throws his weekly "Set De Flo" party, and recently began a residency with The Drifter Hotel. Along with acts Unicorn Fukr and Dohm Collective, Cavalier's one of a handful of local electronic artists playing Buku this month--in his case, Saturday at 2:30 p.m. on The Wharf stage. His upcoming EP is about 80 percent done, and he expects to release it in May. My Spilt Milk is pleased to debut a new song from it, "Flip Phone." He says people should expect "a lot of dance music, a lot of house music, but it's also gonna be entrenched in the vein of New Orleans. It's gonna be gritty."
DJs are often criticized for being impersonal, but Lil Jodeci doesn't think that's a problem for him and other local artists. "The thing about being in New Orleans," Cavalier says, "You carry some type of energy that you're not even aware of. It's some type of funk that you can't even smell." Throwing parties is a piece of a greater story he wants to tell to his city, that all you need is a laptop and the right beats and you can bring people together to dance.
His music is all about young people leading the way. "The youth," he says, "are taking the bull by the horns, making a lane for themselves in the city." Electronic music is notably Millenial and wears its Do-It-Yourself attitude as a badge of honor. As a young, independent producer, Lil Jodeci's spearheading of a scene is emblematic of this DIY zeitgeist.
Changing demographics in the city account for part of his and his peers' success. The waves of Millennials who've put down roots in the city since Katrina are the likeliest to be receptive to what Lil Jodeci does, and youth-driven culture, Cavalier says, "is important to the betterment of our city." New Orleans, as he sees it, is completely compatible--ripe, in fact--for Millenial-led cultural innovation. "[We're] carving out a lane in that [New Orleans] tradition and adding to it. That's what I'm trying to do."
VICE ran a story on The Pink Room Project in 2017, and as exciting as it was for Lil Jodeci and his crew, the national attention "just comes with the territory that comes with doing something a little bit different," he says. That 'little bit different' is the local flavor he brings to house music. Lil Jodeci doesn't see any tension between EDM and his city's music. On the fusion with hip-hop in his tracks, he says, "House music has a strong relationship with bounce music. They have a real tight relationship and connection." He doesn't see a contradiction between the city's old and new, traditional and innovative. For him, dance music is urgently hybridic, cross-genre and cross-generational.
New Orleans isn't going to be the next Berlin, and that's just fine. Local electronic producers like Lil Jodeci aren't trying to take over, but they are joining a long line of New Orleans musicians whose music was subtly political as it ignored restraints and called for young people to dance. Cavalier's tools and sound are different, but the impulse remains the same.

Twin Girls, 1948
Beth was always different
marching as she did
to an armless drummer.
Her sister Kate marched
to another drummer,
one with arms on certain days
but never with a drum
that caught the sticks Kate
kept in the air flailing.
When the girls were young
their mom and dad took them out
for walks on Sunday
afternoons in summer.
The girls waved to butterflies
but never to anyone else.
It was hard for other kids
peering from porches
to understand the problem.
When the twins were small
they didn't call it autism.
It had no name on my block.
Now the illness has a name
and different medications
that sometimes temper
but never cure.
The girls are women now
old and living in a big home
with others in a small band
some still playing instruments
no one else can see.

What do critics of standards have to say?
Critics of standards tend to fall into three major camps: One group worries that standards will force teachers to "teach to tests" and focus on rote learning rather than on more creative and individualized education. Another group is concerned about where standards are set: too high, and low achievers (particularly in disadvantaged communities) will become discouraged and drop out; too low, and high achievers will not be challenged properly. The third group has no objection to standards per se, but believes that they should be set by local school boards, not by federal or state authorities.
Those who worry about "teaching to tests" express many of the same concerns leveled at standardized testing in general: that it measures test-taking ability rather than real-life skills, that it is biased against students from disadvantaged backgrounds, or that it promotes memorization of facts and interpretations rather than creative thinking. Though these concerns may be valid when related to some of the standardized tests used at benchmark points, standards-based teaching does not only or even primarily rely on such tests. Achievement is also measured by testing skill on writing or other assignments where the teacher and the students decide in advance what type of work is good enough to meet the standard. The students are given examples of such work to view before they do their own work.
Fears about the level of the standards are also common. For example, Richard Rothstein argued recently in THE NEW YORK TIMES (Nov. 10, 1999) that supporters of a common standard for inner-city schools and suburban schools have gone too far in attacking the idea that poor children can't learn. "To counter the earlier myth," he writes, "We have developed a new, equally dangerous one: that social class no longer matters in education and that all children, regardless of background, can achieve to the same high standards if only schools demand it.... Can we avoid the defeatist myth that schools make no difference, without bouncing to the other extreme, that they make all the difference?" Rothstein and similar critics argue that holding schools with largely poor populations to the same standards as suburban schools is unfair to both: it penalizes the students in the poorer districts for factors beyond their control while not challenging the students in the suburban schools.
On somewhat the same lines, critics worry that holding students to standards -- especially at points where promotion is the issue, such as grades 4 and 8 -- will cause students to become discouraged and drop out of school, especially in heavily minority schools where scores traditionally have not been high. These fears are usually expressed when state assessments based on standards produce low scores the first time out.
Finally, some critics of standards don't object to the idea of standards as
public statements of what students should know and be able to do -- they
object to who makes those statements. Such critics believe standards should arise locally as community aspirations, rather than be prescribed as national policy. They tend to use words such as "impose" when they describe how standards are adopted. They fear that the federal government will meddle in decisions that should be made on a local level and take the power away from parents and local school boards to decide what children should and should not learn. Some members of the Coalition of Essential Schools
1 take this position.

Consumers Aren't Buying The "Better Economy" Talk
Earlier today, I was in the presence of someone who's fairly knowledgeable about investing. However, when he said "the market determines whether the economy is good or not, and it's almost back," I wanted to cringe. How he could make a statement like that when there are so many other factors fighting against it was stunning.
Sure, the market has increased more than 3,000 points since it hit its low back in February. And people who have been able to ride out the market are seeing their money increasing again. Even oil is back up, which is actually more irritating than anything else, but so be it.
But unemployment it still high, even with the recent .1% increase which I believe was just a blip. Today it was announced that the number of people who filed for unemployment last week jumped another 4,000 jobs. They also announced that retail sales figures fell, which stunned them, by .1%, and overall sales decreased by .6%. Heck, even Walmart sales fell the second quarter of the year, something else that wasn't expected since many analysts said they believed more people would shop at stores like Walmart because of their low prices.
You know what else fell? Vacations and travel, mainly because the price of gas jumped 6.3% In June. This led to a 2.1% decrease in sales at gas stations.
You know, at some point someone is going to face the facts that we're not totally out of this recession yet, and some hard choices have to be made. I wrote last week about spending being up and income being down and how I believed it was just a fluke in the numbers about the spending, and it seems to have been validated. It's time for some real options. It's too bad no one from the government decided to look at my plan for turning the economy around. If they had, this conversation about health care reform might be a moot point at this juncture.
Nah. It doesn't matter overall, though. The American consumer isn't buying that the economy is better, more job losses might be just around the corner, gas is going to keep going sky high, we're being taken advantage of by our utility companies, and bread is now over $3 a loaf. I thought I'd add that one because my wife complained about it when she got home the other day, and I hadn't been paying attention to the riding cost of foodstuffs. I also made my first stop at KFC since last year, and found that a 2-piece chicken dinner is now over $6.50; I can buy an entire cooked chicken at Wegmans for $4.99.
No sir, consumers aren't buying the "better economy" talk at all. Someone call me; I have ideas.

Kidney Cancer
The kidneys as we know are two organs present in the mid-section on either side of the spine in the middle of the back, just above the waist. These cleanse the blood, maintain the balance of salt and minerals in blood, and also, help in controlling blood pressure.
Types Of Kidney Diseases
There are a number of diseases that occur in the kidney or nearby regions of the organ and can cause a lot of damage to a kidney. Following are some of the main diseases of kidneys—
- Acute Kidney Injury - Sudden loss of the functions of the kidney is referred to as Acute kidney injury. It has three main causes:
* Lack of flow of blood to kidneys.
* Direct damage to kidneys.
* Backing up of urine in the kidneys.
- Chronic Kidney Diseases - Kidneys when stop working after the duration of 3 months, then this dis-function is known as Chronic kidney diseases. The symptoms of this disease sometimes cannot be found even after it has done lot of damage, which further cannot be healed or treated and hence, is considered dangerous. It is caused by Diabetes and high blood pressure.
- Immune System Diseases - Long-term viral diseases such as HIV/aids, hepatitis B and hepatitis C, cause a lot of problems and come under this category.
- Urinary Tract Diseases/ Infections - Infections within kidneys called as pyelonephoritis can lead to multiple damage of kidneys.
- Polycystic Kidney Diseases - The formation of many fluid containing cysts in kidneys give rise to such diseases.
In chronic kidney diseases, early diagnosis is important. Some of the important symptoms include:
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Only small amounts of urine.
- Swelling of ankles and puffiness around eyes.
- Unpleasant taste in the mouth.
- Excessively dry skin.
- Muscle cramps, especially in the legs.
- Pale skin, and
- Loss of appetite.

Winter can be a tricky season to dress for, for many women. Thats because its tough putting together an outfit that looks great but keeps you warm too. And while warm trousers and a smart jumper might work well at the office, its not exactly an exciting combination for evening wear. So its perhaps not surprising that winter-enduring women around the world have embraced the jumper dress, one of 2012-13s most exciting trends. Also known as a sweater dress, the jumper dress pulls off the rare feat of being both cosy and fashionable. Not sure if its right for you? Read on to find out how you can look great in a jumper dress, while keeping your body wrapped up against the cold. Picking the right jumper dress Jumper dresses can be made from a range of different fabrics, from Merino wool to Jersey to a variety of woollen blends. Typically, they sport long or three-quarter length sleeves and fall down to the knee or mid-calf, depending on your height. Unlike many types of dresses, jumper dresses are unapologetically winter-friendly. And since theyre already made from thick material, they dont usually require an extra outer layer to stay warm, though a faux-fur gilet will do the trick on exceptionally chilly days. If youre looking for a jumper dress to wear to work, stick to sober colours like grey, brown or black so as not to appear too casual. For weekend-wear, look for ones with a chunky cable-knit pattern or ruched detail. And if youd like a jumper dress to wear on a relaxing evening out, search for one with a metallic trim or with a striking pattern knitted into it. Accessorising your jumper dress Jumper dresses are occasionally dismissed as dull by some fashionistas. However, this view ignores the versatility of this winter fashion item. If youve never owned one before, look for a black, knee-length long-sleeved jumper dress and experiment with a variety of accessories. Clip a wide leather belt over your middle to accentuate your waistline at the office, for instance, and replace with a brightly coloured scarf on your way to meet friends for after-work drinks. The blank canvas presented by a typical jumper dress means it looks great with chunky jewellery, especially statement necklaces and bracelets. On a cold winters day, nothing will look or feel better than a jumper dress worn with knee-length boots and a shaggy circle scarf. And to make sure your figure isnt lost in winter-wear, wear with cotton tights instead of woollen ones. With the right accessories, jumper dresses could be your new favourite clothing item throughout autumn and winter, not to mention the odd chilly spring day.
Harvey McEwan advises on how best to wear jumper dresses, what to pack for an exotic holiday, and much more. Read his articles online.
