COVER- Prism reborn? New group rises from the ashes
"You've got me under your spell again," sang country crooner Buck Owens. And while the late singer may never have made a local appearance, his words seem to sum up the appeal of a beloved UVA-area music establishment that closed amid controversy last year. Now the venue has reopened– although possibly mired in a new controversy.
For 40 years, the Prism Coffeehouse earned a reputation as a premier folk and traditional music venue, playing host to musicians including Emmylou Harris, Doc Watson, and Philip Glass. But after a rift between board members, volunteers, and one mercurial artistic director led to the Prism's 2006 closing, the fate of the historic smoke- and alcohol-free nonprofit venue seemed uncertain. Now, a new coalition of music lovers has formed to bring the music and the masses back to 214 Rugby Road.
But controversy lurks in the familiar music and in a familiar name. A board member of the old Prism Coffeehouse insists the original organization still exists and vows to relaunch. Meanwhile, the board of the new Prism Community Arts Center is moving forward.
Is there room in Charlottesville for both of them, or is the stage set for dueling Prisms?
Good will, long history
For many, the large white house at the corner of Rugby Road and Gordon Avenue will always be known simply as "the Prism," regardless of what organization occupies the building. And that, in part, is what led the 14 new board members of the new Prism to include the word in its name.
"There's great history and good will associated with the Prism," says Jim Childress, one of those members. Another, Marc Perdue, says that using the word "just felt natural."
But Childress, Perdue, and others– some of whom are also former board members of the old Prism Coffeehouse– stress that while the name is similar, the old and new Prisms are "different organizations with different goals."
While the old Prism was a performance-based organization, they say the mission of the new Prism– a coalition of several area music organizations including Blue Ridge Irish Music School, Acoustic Muse, Charlottesville Friends of Old Time Music and fiddle teachers Pete Vigour and Alex Caton– is education.
Besides sponsoring concerts, the new Prism hopes to provide music and dance education and other opportunities for community participation and to build a stronger relationship with UVA's McIntire Department of Music, according to new Prism board member Fred Maus, who serves on the McIntire School faculty. He and other board members predict no confusion between the once and future Prisms.
"There's no cause for anyone to be bothered," says Maus. But "bothered" may be in the eye of the beholder.
"It's only been half a season," says incredulous Prism Coffeehouse board chair Joe Ayers, notified of the new group's name last week. "The Prism is still a viable entity as far as I'm concerned."
Ayers says that after the Prism Coffeehouse lost its contract to buy a new home in Gordonsville and failed to win a renewal of its lease with its Rugby Road landlord, Westminster Church, the board decided to take some time off from promoting concerts to "regroup." Ayers maintains that the nixed Gordonsville deal was a setback but not an organization killer.
"It was just going to be too expensive to do," Ayers explains. "But just because that one deal fell through, they shouldn't assume that an effort to find a location isn't being made."
He's not the only one surprised by the new group's choice of name. Local guitar whiz Jay Pun, who performed at the Prism last year, says he's delighted that music's back in the building.
But "With anything new, you need to start new," says Pun, who liked "Westminster House," the name used to promote several recent concerts at 214 Rugby. He calls the new Prism "a totally different thing," and says the name appropriation leaves "a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth."
The old Prism board has continued to meet monthly, says Ayers, who adds he was "thrilled" that concerts were being held at 214 Rugby Road and had heard that a coalition was forming to keep the shows coming. But no one contacted him about using the word Prism in the name.
"It's very nasty, it seems to me," he says. "Aren't there other names, given all that went on?"
Battle scarred
Although the Prism was started by a group of UVA students in 1966 to provide a friendly community space where musicians and music lovers could gather in harmony, the last several years of the Prism's existence on Rugby Road were steeped in conflict.
As detailed in the Hook's April 1, 2004 cover story, "Prism Schism," numerous Prism board members and volunteers came forward to denounce the way the nonprofit was being run. At fault, they said, was artistic director Fred Boyce. By all accounts an accomplished banjo player who for 15 years had booked the Prism's shows and, with his partner, Kenyon Hunter, handled its finances, Boyce, some claimed, had become verbally abusive and unreceptive to opposing viewpoints.
Meanwhile, the church alleged that there were several months of unpaid rent, and some Prism volunteers and board members began withdrawing their involvement. Amid the schism, evidence of Boyce's temper appeared in the form of a six-minute, expletive-laden answering-machine message he left for one departing board member. Following publication of the story, Boyce's defenders came out swinging in dozens of letters to the Hook accusing Boyce's critics of failing to appreciate his talent and hard work.
"It takes critically important performance venues like the Prism to keep traditional music alive," wrote Jon Lohman, "and these venues wouldn't exist without folks like Fred Boyce and Kenyon Hunter, who have, quite simply, dedicated their lives to this cause."
"They're there to selflessly help the community," added Max Ludington.
The controversy eventually subsided, and the Prism– with a Boyce-friendly board– continued, announcing early in 2006 that it would purchase the former O'Dell's restaurant space in downtown Gordonsville with a plan to move operations. After that deal fell through, Westminster Church declined to renew the Prism's lease, so Boyce and Hunter packed up 40 years of Prism belongings– including old photo albums and recordings of historic shows– and vacated the premises. Boyce and Hunter are not currently living in Charlottesville, says Ayers, and the couple did not respond to an emailed request for comment.
As for the artifacts, Childress says the new Prism has no immediate plans to request their return to the building.
"We would like to have those things," says Childress, "but it's not worth it to me to get into it at the moment. In a way it's nice to have a clean break and go forward to acomplish our mission."
But is using the word Prism in the name the best way to establish a clean break?
"There won't be any problem at all," says attorney Steve Rosenfield, who helped the new Prism file for incorporation. "They're two separate corporate entities that share one word in their names." Rosenfield compares the word Prism to the word "cola."
"Indeed, when you go into a restaurant and ask for a cola," he says, "people ask which one you want. It's not an infringement."
But two other area attorneys the Hook contacted seem to question the wisdom of using the same word in the name.
"That's not a comfortable situation," says intellectual property attorney Sheldon Parker. "Abandonment doesn't happen immediately," he adds, noting that the Prism Coffeehouse could have legal claim to the word Prism for at least two years before it would be considered legally up for grabs. Attorney Jessica Costa agrees.
"If they haven't closed it at the State level, it's still alive," says Costa of the old Prism's registration with the State Corporation Commission, which incorporates businesses.
The Prism Coffeehouse is still a company on record with the SCC, and the new Prism's board chair Childress says the entity was officially incorporated this week as the Prism Community Arts Center. He doesn't expect a problem since the full names are different.
But even though the State Corporation Commission registered the Prism Community Arts Center, that doesn't mean a tug-of-war over the name can't still arise.
"It would be a matter for the courts," says Parker, "which is not where anyone wants to go."
On the upbeat
On a recent cloudy afternoon, a group of new Prism board members– fiddle bows flying, feet tapping– has gathered for an impromptu old time jam session.
"It's exciting," says one when the group breaks. He's Gary Alter, a guitar player who didn't pick up an instrument until his 40th birthday, some 20 years ago. Playing old time music changed his life, he says, and being part of an organization that will help others have that same experience is a prospect he relishes.
For Marc Perdue, who first played on the Rugby road stage in 1976 and spent many hours over the last three decades listening and performing at the old Prism, being part of the new Prism is a way for me to "give back" to the musical community that nurtured him.
Indeed, all the interviewed board members of the new Prism say they hope to focus solely on the excitement surrounding the birth of a new creative organization.
"We do not want to portray ourselves so much in relation to the old Prism Coffeehouse," says Childress, who became involved with that group as a first-year UVA student in 1970. Vigour, whose involvement with the old Prism began in 1974, calls the new Prism a "renaissance," and praises the cooperation of the board and the groups planning to sponsor concerts and other events. In fact, concerts have been continuing in the Prism building for some time. The Blue Ridge Irish Music School took over the lease in July, four months after the Prism Coffeehouse moved out, as a way to hold the space for local music.
"We never intended it to be long term," says School director Lori Madden, who will soon fill the Prism Community Arts Center's only paid position as executive director. The Prism Community Arts Center plans to take over the lease when it expires.
Since the School moved in, several improvements have been made to the building– most noticeably, the floor in the performance room has been replaced to help accommodate frequent dance lessons.
Westminster Church spokesperson James Burch says the church has been delighted with the School and is looking forward to working with the new Prism board. "They're wonderful people," says Burch.
For Acoustic Muse, a nearly 10-year-old local organization that promotes events by singer-songwriters, the new Prism is exciting because it will allow community members a chance to learn the skills they see up on stage.
"We don't do that many shows a year," says Mike Cvetanovich, president of Acoustic Muse and vice president of the new Prism, "but we want our efforts to go to education in traditional arts and dance."
Already, the Center has shows on the calendar, and Vigour says a recent concert by classical guitarist Muriel Anderson (promoted under the name Westminster House) was sold out. On February 1, James Leva takes the stage, and a benefit concert featuring a performance by Perdue's band, Naked Creek, and Vigour's band, Uncle Henry's Favorites, is slated for February 24. Comestibles for that show promise to be tasty: new Prism board member Dave Simpson, owner of the renowned C&O Restaurant, will be providing the treats.
Childress says the Center hopes to raise $25,000 by the summer through concerts and donations in order to begin meeting its mission. So far, he says, response from the public has been positive, with some corporate and individual donations rolling in and others promising support. Among other things, Childress says, the Center needs a new sound system and chairs. (The Charlottesville Pavilion lent some chairs during the off-season, he says, but will need them back in April.)
Old Prism founder Tom Barden, now a professor in Minnesota, says despite potential conflict over the name, he feels a "dim glimmer of hope that The Prism in some form might live on. If it can stay at 214 Rugby Road, even better."
Even the old Prism's Ayers sees a bright spot to the new Prism's name.
"It's a sign of the recognition you're asking for," he says he will tell Boyce. "Most musicians who came to the Prism recognized it was a good job for them."
Several board members of the new Prism say they hope musicians will continue to fill 214 Rugby, and while they know they'll face challenges, there's one thing Childress says they must do: "figure out how we can create a place that really is a community organization where people feel included and have a voice."

Is that building on your cover on fire?
Wonderful news to read about the Prism Community Arts Center going full steam ahead! We will revel in the music when we get across the pond again.
Sending an Northwest England sort of compliment to all:
"Well done you!"
I hope some of the instructors under the new 'Prism' decide to pay their tutoring fees to the organization instead of withholding their money from the organization like some of the others in the earlier Prism incarnation.

How To Know Whether Your German Shepherd Dog is Ill?
|A Healthy German Shepherd Puppy
Signs of Illness in German Shepherds And Any Other Dogs
If you are reading this post it means you already have a dog or planning to have one or may be some way connected to dogs. If you already have a dog or if you are looking forward to adopt one this post will help you become a better owner.
Signs of illness in dogs are the topics of discussion here. A strong power observation needs to be developed to understand when actually your German Shepherd's health demands your attention, and it depends on how efficiently you can identify the signs of illness that are holding back his happiness and smoothness of life.
The more you observe your GSD, the more you are going to learn about him. The better you know him, the owner you can become, and in turn your observation power will automatically be enhanced.
Here are some of the common signs that your German Shepherd may show when he is ill…
- Mouth smelling bad: Smelly mouth is an indication of liver mal-functioning or internal health problem
- Smelly ears: Smelly and waxy ears is a significant sign of illness.
- Dry and rough coat: Heavy internal parasitic infestation and weak internal health adversely affect the coat condition.
- Skin rash and patches on the skin: Internal parasite also adversely affects the skin condition. Bacterial problem, allergies and mal-nutrition causes different type of dermal problems. Here is how to do diet management for your German Shepherd puppy.
- Bleeding gum: Accumulation of tartar can cause pyorrhea and bleeding gum.
- Dry nose: Dry nose indicates fever and/or other health problems
- Discharge from the nose and/or eyes: Your dog may have caught cold
- Lethargy: Lethargy can caused by many problems, including insufficient diet, un-balanced diet or shortage of essential minerals and vitamins.
These may sound like just some basic signs of illness, but may be lead to serious health concerns if not treated at the earliest. Your dog may show other indications that may lead to even serious situations.
Sudden Loss of Appetite: As long as your German Shepherd is taking his usual diet normally, he is okay. Sudden loss of appetite may be the result of one or more health problems, starting from indigestion, irritation and pain to more serious issues that may need immediate attention. Dogs usually love food – especially his normal diet. Any deviation in the general affinity towards his food should be an alarm for you to call your vet.
Increase or Decrease in General Intake of Water: Dogs usually drink less compared to humans and this is normal. If your German Shepherd suddenly starts drinking more or less than what he usually intakes, you should be more attentive, and probably it's the time for you to give a call to your vet. Serious health issues like pyometra in females, kidney problems, stomach problem and dehydration etc. may cause your dog to drink unusually less or more.
Unusual Panting With or Without Drooling: If your dog is panting unusually, then he is showing an inevitable sign of health problem and should be considered as a serious matter of concern. He may have ingested something that is poisonous for dogs. In such situation your dog needs immediate veterinary attention. Any delay may prove to fatal for your dog
Stained urine: Stained urine is an indication of kidney problem. If stained urination is accompanied with burning pain it indicates that your dog may be having Urinary Tract Infection. Stone in urinary tract also leads to painful and stained urine.
Frequently Vomiting: Frequent vomiting is an indication of fragile gastro-intestinal health. Blood vomiting should be considered too seriously and may indicate many fatal ailments. Frequent and repetitive vomiting with change in the color of stool should not be overlooked. May be you need to spare a thought over your dog's daily diet. Here is the science of food and nutrition for your GSD.
Distressful Breathing: Distressful breathing is an indication of many internal health problems, most common of which are respiratory tract infection - RTI, cardiac problem, lungs problem etc. Sudden imbalance of essential minerals and certain blood components may lead to many serious health issues and may start with distress breathing. Decrease in hemoglobin level also leads to distressed breathing. Presence of heart and lungs worms also leads to distressed breathing.
Change in Behavior: We cannot overlook the behavioral aspect. Any kind of physical irritation and pain is reflected through unnatural behavior in your dog. Behavioral signs like unpredictable aggression, restlessness, decreased tolerance level, lack of patience, lethargy, facing problem to stand from sitting, disoriented locomotion, staying overly aloof are some of the signs of physical displeasure.
Repeating… a powerful observing capability will make you more efficient as a dog owner. Keeping a dog is a big responsibility that many of us have shouldered knowingly and consciously. It's just the awareness and knowledge that make you better as a dog owner than others. All kind of physical displeasure in your dog – be it serious or trivial are reflected differently, either through prominent or subtle change in behavior, or through other sings. Hope this piece will help you. Please feel free to share your experiences through commenting. Read more...

15 Minutes with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
This Friday, February 1, Seattle-based hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis will entertain a sold-out crowd at Colorado's legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre as the headliner for the second Winter On the Rocks concert. Skiing caught up with Ben Haggerty (AKA Macklemore) and Ryan Lewis to discuss the show, their recent success, and their affection for Colorado.
Your latest album, The Heist, has been #1 on iTunes and #2 on Billboard. Last week, "Thrift Shop" became Billboard's #1 single. How has the success changed things for you guys going into new projects?
Ryan: On one hand, it's super exciting, crazy, unexpected, a lot to wrap our heads around, and not what we anticipated. On the other hand, when we go into the studio now in 2013, we want to, in the mist of all this excitement, put ourselves in a place where we can naturally make the music that we want to make. We just want to enjoy the process.
Ben: For both Ryan and me, the goal is to be creative. Having a number one song on Billboard is a big deal for us. In terms of what's on paper, it's probably the biggest deal. I'm very proud of that, I think it's awesome, but I don't want that to come to define us.
Have you played Red Rocks before?
Ben: Yes.
Ryan: Yeah, but as a bit of an opener, which makes this show very exciting.
It's February in Colorado when weather can be unpredictable. Did it take much convincing to do this show?
Ben: I didn't really realize it could be freezing until someone told me that not too long ago. I kinda figured, "oh, it's Colorado, it could snow, but it'll be 70 the next day." No, it didn't take a lot of convincing.
Ryan: We don't have to worry so much about instruments going out of tune. Hip Hop musicians in the snow are blessed.
You've been all over the world, but you've made several stops through Colorado lately. What keeps you coming back to this scene and the mountain scene in general?
Ben: There's something about the mountain scene. People like to celebrate, to have a good time, and to go out and listen to live music. Colorado was the first place that I performed outside of the Northwest. It's one of the first places that I really got embraced. I had a fan base in Colorado before I had one in California, before I had one in just about every other part of the world outside of the Northwest. The people there just love hip-hop music. They let loose and have a good time and the shows are always crazy.
Growing up in the Northwest, did you ever ski or snowboard?
Ryan: Yea, I was a snowboarder. I grew up in Spokane and rode Schweitzer. It's a good mountain, big, double-black diamonds.
Ben: Snowboarder. I went Snoqualmie Pass a bit and this place called Ski Acres.
Lightening Round
Favorite Seattle sports team?
Ben: Seahawks
Ryan: Huskies
Favorite car?
Ben: Cadillac
Ryan: Mercedes G Class
Favorite musician?
Ryan: Kanye West
Ben: Coltrane
Crappiest job?
Ryan: Ice cream scooper
Ben: Subway
Best time to listen to your music?
Ben: Anytime
Ryan: In your car
The new Seattle Super Sonics?
Ben: Hell yea.
Ryan: Bo Jackson
Favorite dance move?
Ben: Running man
Ryan: Whatever girls do after you say "drop down and get your eagle on girl."

NEW YORK (AP) Tim Burke scored a season-best 27 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. matched his season high with 25 and No. 3 Michigan remained unbeaten with an 81-66 victory over West Virginia on Saturday night at the Barclays Center.
The Wolverines (11-0) were last off to this good a start in 1988-89 - the season they won the school's only national championship.
Burke and Hardaway both had solid all-around games in the backcourt. Burke was 12 of 16 from the field and had eight assists, while Hardaway was 7 of 12 and made half of his eight 3-point attempts.
Freshman Terry Henderson had a season-high 23 points for the Mountaineers (4-5), who lost their second straight after a three-game winning streak.
Michigan led 43-32 at halftime and was able to extend the lead with some efficient shooting. The Wolverines started the second half 9 of 16 from the field, a number that was made a lot better by West Virginia missing 12 of its first 15 shots over the same span.
The Wolverines led 54-36 on a drive by Burke with 17:04 to play. It looked as if Michigan would match its season average of winning every game by an average of 21 points.
West Virginia finally started making some shots and the Mountaineers were able to get within 71-64 on a 3 by Henderson with 4:28 to play.
The rally took its toll on West Virginia and the Wolverines were able to straighten things out and pull away.
West Virginia, which came in shooting 26.4 percent from 3-point range, finished 6 of 21 from behind the arc, 3 of 15 in the second half.
Michigan shot 56 percent from the field (28 of 50) with an almost even split in each half.
The game, the third in a tripleheader called Brooklyn Hoops Winter Festival, drew a crowd of 16,514.

It's usually best up against the northern headland. I've seen good left more in the middle of the bay when it gets over 4ft.
Best thing about Thailand is there's no crowds and the night life's unbeatable if you're a single guy. You feel like a hot blood chick with a huge rack everywhere you go in Thailand.
Fun wave to get wet on between singha's & all night parties. Hotel in front are kook's cause they won't let you use the shower by the pool area.
It's consistant. When the waves get above 4ft there problably are better waves you can surf.

With an abundance of mountains, beaches, deserts, oases, camel races and markets, the United Arab Emirates can certainly attract tourists. The United Arab Emirates is a union of 7 sovereign territories under the leadership of a Sheikh, with the best tourist infrastructure in the Middle East. Its modern capital, Abu Dhabi, is certainly worth a visit. Start at the old fort and wander through the streets if you want to discover local history and Islamic art.
With its ancient architecture, lively markets and ultra-modern shopping centres, Abu Dhabi is not just important as an oil producer, since it also has much to offer tourists.

Article content
It was 23 years and 1,364 games ago but Don Van Massenhoven remembers it like it was this morning.
"It was November 11, 1993, Edmonton Oilers at Boston Bruins. My knees were knocking," he recalled. "I was sent there on short notice. My first NHL game and the zipper on my referee pants broke. I was so nervous my fingers were shaking so much I couldn't fix it. Ron Asselstine, one of the linesmen, had to fix it for me.
"I remember being out on the ice during the anthem, looking around and seeing Ray Bourque standing there. It was the old Boston Garden and I'm thinking 'Wow, I'm actually here.'"
It's hard to believe someone with the kind of National Hockey League refereeing career Van Massenhoven has had could be that nervous.
But refereeing in the NHL was a dream of Van Massenhoven's and when dreams come true, you have a right to be nervous.
Since then the Strathroy native has refereed an NHL all-star game, a World Cup of Hockey, the first Winter Classic and the Stanley Cup playoffs.
On Friday in Detroit Van Massenhoven won't be nervous. It will be Game 1,366. He'll likely be a little sad and most likely take a few minutes to reflect on what's been an outstanding and eventful career.
But like the true professional he is, he'll forget all that, go out and take care of business as the Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres battle it out on the Joe Louis Arena ice.
When it's over, Van Massenhoven will put the whistle in his pocket and retire from refereeing.
"It flew by," Van Massenhoven said of the 23 years. "I don't know where it went. I remember Bryan Lewis assigning me to my first game and saying 'You only have 999 left to get to 1,000.'"
Van Massenhoven's career has been a life fulfilling dream and adventure. He's come close to death, was at a game where a player came close to death and had to handle a game that almost turned into a riot.
The one week that will live forever in Van Massenhoven's memories is from November 2005. Van Massenhoven was refereeing a Detroit Red Wings game when Jiri Fischer collapsed on the bench with a cardiac incident. Fischer survived.
Van Massenhoven's next game was in Florida. He was near the end boards when a slapshot hit him in the face. He spent seven hours in surgery. There was concern Van Massenhoven might not make it. Doctors inserted seven plates in his face.
The tragic event turned out to be one of the moments Van Massenhoven says he was most proud of.
"It might sound strange but getting hit in the face with the puck and being able to come back is one of my proudest moments," he said. Even now, he has to fight back the emotion. "When I got hit, I thought it was over. Even the doctor said 'I don't think you can work again.' They told me I was done for the year that I wouldn't work the Olympics. I was back in nine weeks. I worked the Olympics. It's weird to say but to me it was a highlight that I was able to survive, come back and have another 11 years."
Van Massenhoven, 53, has been refereeing since he was 15. He was an Ontario Provincial Police officer while he was officiating in the Ontario Hockey League. He was first a linesman and in 1989 became a referee. As a first-year referee he was picked to handle the 1990 Memorial Cup tournament, a rarity for young officials.
But Van Massenhoven wasn't sure early on that refereeing in the OHL was for him. He asked OHL commissioner David Branch to put him back on the lines. Branch refused.
"My years in the OHL were really amazing. They were great training years," he said. "I started as a linesman doing mostly London Knights games. The 1990 Memorial Cup was another highlight for me. That's where the NHL saw me. I wasn't on their list but they were in Hamilton looking at Stephen Walkom and from there I was offered the chance to go the American Hockey League."
Walkom is now director of officiating in the NHL.
Big games and moments tumble around Van Massenhoven's head like a highlight newsreel. He was quick to recall the one game he calls the wildest one he was involved in.
It was 1995, long before the NHL went to a two-referee system. Van Massenhoven was a late replacement for a Winnipeg Jets-Canucks game in Vancouver.
Sometime in the first period, Canucks' Mike Peca hammered Jets' Teemu Selanne at centre ice. Selanne didn't have the puck and was forced to the leave the game.
There was no doubt what was going to happen. This was before the new rules and suspensions. On the roster of the teams were Tie Domi, Kris King, Gino Odjick, Tim Hunter, Dana Murzyn, Dave Manson and Keith Tkachuk.
Some 240 minutes in penalties later Van Massenhoven was somewhat shell-shocked.
"I knew Domi from junior and there's a YouTube clip where he's yelling at me," Van Massenhoven said. "He's saying 'You want a war? You got a f------ war.'
"You feel you lost control but in reality all you are doing is calling penalties. I remember Bryan Lewis (head of officials) calling me the next day and saying, 'You did a great job. You held it together.'"
Van Massenhoven admits that no one is perfect.
"I've admitted to being wrong," he said. "I've always said as an official you have to admit if you are wrong. If you say 'Hey, I blew the whistle too quickly.' (Players) usually say, 'Oh, OK.' I don't remember anyone saying anything after that. The catch is if you are admitting two or three times a game that you're wrong, you are in the wrong business."
In the time he's spent on the job the game has allowed talented players to show that talent because of rule changes.
"The speed of the game, it's amazing. It's so much faster than when I started refereeing," he said.
Van Massenhoven is grateful to a lot of people for having had the chance to do what he loves.
No. 1 on the list is his wife Chris. Their children were one and four when the Strathroy native began refereeing in the NHL.
"I'm so lucky," he said. "Every Canadian kid grows up wanting to play hockey. I got to be there as an official for 23 years. It's a great job.
"I also loved the OPP the 10 years I was there. I never thought I could be so fortunate as to have two amazing jobs in my life. They were two careers, not jobs."
Van Massenhoven isn't done with hockey. He's still president of the Strathroy Rockets junior B team.
He's just ending one chapter of his life but there are other opportunities that have presented themselves in hockey.
"I love the game," he said. "Hockey has been my whole life. When I'm home, I watch games. Hockey is a part of me."
Van Massenhoven said it was the right time for him to retire from the ice.
"I'd like to think I haven't changed much," he said. "The game was always the first thing. I'm proud of what I accomplished but also proud of the respect I get from the players.
"The game is about the players. (Long-time referee) John Willsie, when I worked with him said 'The game is not about us, it's about the players.' It's something I always tried to remember."

The Carloses are a beautiful thing, aren't they? ¡Nosotros Carlamos! We are them and they are us and we are all together…goo goo g'joob.
Yet they're not Ollie and Ollie, saviors in arms.
Yeah, that's who it figured to hinge on. All the series previews in print and on air had it exactly as it's happened: Darren Oliver eating up innings in Game Three and Oliver Perez giving up solo homers in Game Four. Those were the keys to the pennant all along.
Nobody saw it coming, but that — without discounting any of the dozen delightful Met runs still crossing the plate — now defines why glee is outpointing glum in Metsopotamia. Oliver surrendered no earned runs in a loss. Perez absorbed five in a win. And somehow it's all good.
Welcome to your narrative-free National League Championship Series. Forget that claptrap about momentum and the next day's starting pitcher. The last night's starting pitcher threw as pedestrian a 5 and two-thirds as you're going to see and, in context, it was magnificent. The appeal of Perez was that he could go out and potentially blow hitters away. He didn't. He didn't have to. He pitched with the poise of a veteran who had been in the Majors for more than a dozen years.
Check that. He pitched better than Steve Trachsel.
I'll admit my faith in Oliver Perez was well veiled — "folly" is what I believe I said it would be to count on him — but getting proven wrong is often the best part about being a nervous-nelly baseball fan. This isn't about being right. This is about being happy. And we're happy this morning. Twenty-four hours ago, we were blogging virtual suicide notes. Today we're either seeding clouds over St. Louis (rest Glavine!) or spreading a tarp across Missouri (the bats…the bats…the bats are on fire!).
Whatever. There's no legitimate pegging of this series. We have seen four contests, none of which has resembled the other three.
Game One? A taut pitching duel determined on a single swing.
Game Two? A seesaw slugfest.
Game Three? A suffocating shutout.
Game Four? A slambang beatdown by those that done been whitewashed the night before.
Game Five? I'unno.
So let 'em play tonight or let 'em wait. The Mets and the Cardinals have left few clues as to what comes next.
The Carloses are a beautiful thing, aren't they? ¡Nosotros Carlamos! We are them and they are us and we are all together…goo goo g'joob.

One of the big fixtures of the first apartment that Sarah and I shared was an extremely bright green chair. This chair had ancient floral-print upholstery, done almost entirely in shades of green and green-yellow, and looked like it walked straight out of the 1970s. Unsurprisingly, especially considering our recently-out-of-college status, this chair was a pick-up from a Goodwill store.
It was ugly.
It was garish.
It was comfortable.
In fact, that chair was so comfortable that Sarah and I would often race to see who would claim it in the evenings as a place to sit. It was the single most comfortable chair that either one of us has ever owned.
When we left that apartment, we left that chair behind.
* * *
Now, why did we leave that chair behind?
As a newly married couple, both with the beginnings of careers, we both believed that we needed to put aside such old things. We needed to upgrade our living quarters.
In short, we went and bought a bunch of furniture to replace that old green chair.
Looking back on it, we didn't get rid of that old green chair because we wanted to. We both loved that old thing. We both ceremoniously sat in that chair for a while on our last day in that old apartment before leaving it at the curb. Between the two of us, we didn't really mind the appearance of that chair, and neither did our friends.
Instead, we got rid of it out of a sense of what we were supposed to do.
As a young professional couple, we were supposed to have nice furniture in our home.
We were supposed to look sharp.
We were supposed to impress the people we invited over with the quality of our home decor.
Do you see a problem with those statements?
In each case, we felt like we were supposed to do something because of what we thought other people wanted from us or expected from us. Getting rid of things like the green chair is something that people like us were supposed to do.
The biggest financial mistake my wife and I ever made was worrying about what people like us were supposed to do. If we had simply focused instead on what made us happy, we would have found ourselves in a much better financial place all the way along.
* * *
Keep your green chair, whatever that might be. If you like it, keep it. Don't do what you're supposed to do, especially when you're supposed to spend money to replace something that already fulfills your needs quite well.
By the way, the chair that we replaced the "green chair" with lasted about four years. A sharply-clawed cat mauled it, the reclining mechanism broke, and several springs bent so badly inside of it that you couldn't sit down in it without issuing a cacaphony of clicks and clacks.
I wish we still had that green chair. Not just because it was comfortable, but because of what it meant.

Te Aupouri, Ngā Puhi, Tūhoe
(1977- )
Jayme Anderson is Te Aupouri tribe from Tekao on the northwest tip of North Island. His Māori / Anderson whakapapa (lineage) begins with the marriage of Erina Kaka to Andrija Kleskovic in 1891. Erina Kaka was the oldest of four children and the daughter of Chief Hohepa and Annetta. Andrija was shortened to Anaru, which is a version of Andrew. Andrija used to go to the courts with the Māori assisting them in the late 1800s and so it is said that the judge could not pronounce his name so decided that from now on he would be known as "Mr. Anderson". They had thirteen children and the eleventh was named Peter Anderson.

Tarot Card Meanings
Ten of Wands
Rediscover the idealism and optimism of your youth to reinvigorate your vision.
Nine of Wands
Page of Wands
Watch Now: Ten of Wands Video
Learn the meaning of the Ten of Wands Tarot card in under a minute!
General Meaning
This suit, most often called "Wands" and sometimes called "Rods" or "Staves," represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.
The Ten of this suit represents an all-out effort, an obsessive commitment to a task which demands everything you've got. The person shown in decks with pictures is in no position to rest until he makes it inside the stout walls of the well-defended castle in the distance. If he fails, he will become prey for the highway robbers after dark.
It doesn't matter that he's overloaded and underfed. With this card, you have to do whatever it takes to get to completion -- nothing can be allowed to interfere.
In the Reversed Position
Lack of perspective on your life may impair your progress. The Ten of Wands reversed suggests that you are struggling to get a sense of perspective on the situation. A lack of objectivity may impair your ability to follow through and bring things to closure.
Try to rest yourself. Then step back to take another look at the big picture. If you feel too exhausted to work toward long-term goals, rest until your vision clears and you remember why it's worth the effort. Clear perspective leads to stronger motivation.
In the Advice Positon
The Ten of Wands in this position advises you to remember the true, simple heart of your youth and all the idealism it held. Now may be the time to reach deep into yourself and identify your purest, most wholesome impulses. As you do this, allow your optimistic and honorable side to see what's good about the world.
Look beyond the challenges, setbacks, disappointments and frustrations you tend to see so easily. As you reawaken your high minded inner child, you will refresh your daily life with a joyful purpose.
A powerful message is waiting for you! Get your Reconciliation Tarot Reading NOW...

The Index Strategy Workshop is designed to assist individuals in learning about various index option strategies. These discussions and materials are for educational purposes only and are not intended to provide investment advice. For the sake of simplicity, taxes, commissions and other trading costs have been omitted from the discussions and strategies. These should be taken into account when making investment decisions. These strategies are based on hypothetical situations involving a European-style, cash-settled index and should only be considered as examples of potential trading approaches.
Investment decisions should not be made based upon worksheet outcomes.
Access to, or delivery of a copy of, the Options Disclosure Document must accompany this worksheet.
Buying an index straddle combines the benefits of both an index call and an index put purchase. Leveraged potential profits can be substantial with a large move in the underlying index either up or down from a certain level. On the other hand, straddle buyers might instead be focused on short-term increases in call and put implied volatility levels without a significant move in the underlying index, and taking smaller profits when this might occur. With either motivation, the amount of capital at risk can be predetermined, and is entirely limited.
Buying an index straddle involves the purchase of both an index call and an index put on the same underlying index, with both options having the same strike price and expiration month. A long straddle position is commonly purchased and sold as a package, i.e., both options bought at the same time to establish the position as well as sold at the same time to either realize a profit or cut a loss. In a sense, as long as both call and put are held an investor is hedged, with the bullish call potentially increasing in value with a rise in the underlying index, and the bearish put increasing with a decrease in the index level.
But as with any long index call or put, the holder of these options can always exercise them before the contracts expire. American-style index options may be exercised at any time before expiration, while European-style index options may be exercised only within a specific period of time, generally on the last business day before expiration. However, any long index option may be sold in the marketplace on or before its last trading day if it has market value. All index options are cash-settled. For contract specifications for various index option classes, please visit the Index Options Product Specification area here.
This is neither a bullish nor a bearish strategy, but instead a combination of the two. On the upside, the profit potential of the long call at expiration is theoretically unlimited as the level of the underlying index increases above the position's upside break-even point. On the downside, the profit potential of the long put at expiration is substantial, limited only by the underlying index decreasing to no less than zero. Again, profit potential for the long straddle depends on the magnitude of change in the index, not the direction in which it might move.
The maximum loss for the long straddle is limited to the total call and put premium paid. This will occur at expiration if the index closes exactly at the strike price, and both the call and the put expire exactly at-the-money and with no value.
There are two break-even points at expiration for this strategy. The upside break-even is an underlying index level equal to the contracts' strike price plus the total premium paid for both the call and the put. The downside break-even is an index level equal to the strike price less the call and put premium paid.
An increase in volatility has a positive financial effect on the long straddle strategy while decreasing volatility has a negative effect - more so than with either a simple long call or put because two long options are owned. Time decay has a negative effect on both long options as well.

Our top moments of the week:
15. Best Reveal, Part I: No guests? No problem for Watch What Happens: Live host Andy Cohen, who puts on a one-man show in the clubhouse on Monday when Hurricane Sandy prevents his guest and audience from showing up. Wearing pajamas in front of a fake fire, Cohen plays clips, takes calls from his viewers, and — most importantly — reveals what his Real Housewives intro line would be: "I may be a man, but I fight like a girl," he declares proudly, staring straight into the camera. Best pajama party ever!
14. Best Shoutout: When Jane suddenly appears in the back seat of Penny's car on Happy Endings, Penny doesn't scream "Oh, my God!", but instead unleashes our new favorite exclamation of surprise: "CCH Pounder!" Later in the episode, she shouts "F. Murray Abraham!" under similar circumstances. We can play this game. C. Thomas Howell! J.K. Rowling! Try it!
13. Best Dream Come True: Hurricane Sandy derailed Jimmy Kimmel's plan for his first-ever show from Brooklyn on Monday, but by Wednesday, Kimmel was there, grinning from ear to ear and interviewing his longtime idol David Letterman. Letterman, not one to take compliments well, squirms when Kimmel shows pictures of his Late Show birthday cake and license plate. "Did your parents step in? These are warning signs, Jimmy," Letterman says. But Kimmel is on a roll: He invites Dave to stay over at his house. Late-night slumber party? Nobody tell Leno about it, but Andy Cohen is local... and already in his PJs!
12. Best Entrance: For her first date with George, Suburgatory's Dallas pulls out all the stops, including crafting one heck of an entrance to greet him. Dahlia dims the lights, and new high-wattage bulbs spotlight Dallas, who is wrapped in a boa and shaking what her momma gave her to Warrant's "Cherry Pie." Then suddenly, the music changes to something more magical (and less '80s) as she emerges from behind a screen to reveal an entirely different outfit, rose petals falling softly around her. What, no magic trick?
11. Most Intriguing Return: Mason Treadwell pops up again on Revenge for the first time since Emily burned his house down and this time the probing gossip author has some fresh intel. After noticing Amanda's scar-less back — the real Amanda has a scar from her foster days — he confronts the new mom about her faux identity and tosses her a folder full of papers. "You may be many things to many people, the latest, it would seem, young mother to an infant boy," he says. "But the daughter of Kara Wallace and David Clarke? That is one thing you most definitely are not." How much you wanna bet that Treadwell's the dead man in Jack's boat?
10. Worst Anniversary Curse: Poor Sabrina Bryan! The former Cheetah girl — who is already known as the victim of Dancing with the Stars' most shocking elimination ever, as the show constantly reminds us — suffers another early exit on All-Stars. Adding insult to injury: She had a perfect score, was on top of the leaderboard, and her elimination falls on the same week — Week 6 — and exactly five years to the day from her first elimination on Oct. 30, 2007. Guess some things just really aren't meant to be.
9. Best Reveal, Part II: Dr. Whale's identity is finally revealed on Once Upon a Time! (Though for those super-sleuths who knew that James Whale directed both Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, we salute you!) Yes, Dr. Whale is actually Frankenstein, whose creature (aka Regina's dead love Daniel) ripped off his arm in a rage. Thanks to Mr. Gold, who makes Whale admit that magic is better than science, he gets his arm back, but when will he get his brother (aka the original creature) back as well?
8. Best Feeding Frenzy: Damon takes Elena to what can only be described as a "vampire rave" at a local college campus on The Vampire Diaries to give her a very different kind of education — that of feeding on humans. When Elena finally bites into a frat boy, Damon asks her how she feels. "Great ... I want more," she says. Watch out, girl, you know what they say... about the freshman 15!
7. Worst Scare Tactic: On New Girl, Nick visits Jess' latest place of employment — the local haunted house. However, when Jess jumps out and scares him, he clocks her in the face. The punch not only causes some major bruising, but causes the other haunted house workers to retaliate, including a martial who kicks Nick squarely in the crotch. Maybe next year, they can try going to a pumpkin patch instead?
6. Sickest Skeleton in the Closet: Michonne was right! For those of us (we mean Andrea) taken in by The Walking Dead's newly introduced Governor's charms, we found out that he's scarier than any walker. Not only did he gun down stranded soldiers in order to steal their weapons and supplies, but we also discovered something much more disturbing: a sick trophy room full of tanks featuring the heads of people sacrificed for the greater good of Woodbury. At least zombies don't hoard their victims' remains!
5. Best Mind Trick: Castle's innocence comes under serious scrutiny when the team on Castle starts investigating a woman's murder and all signs seem to point to Castle having had an affair with the victim and then killing her himself. Obviously, he didn't do it. It's actually 3XK, the serial killer who got away, who framed Castle for the murder so that the cops would come after him and he could fake his own death. It's a pretty cock-eyed scheme, but hey, the guy had us thinking Castle was a killer. Kudos.
4. Worst Co-Host: The X Factor finally kicks off its live performances and introduces its new co-hosts. And while Mario Lopez is his dimpled, bland but competent self, Khloe Kardashian struggles to find the balance between professionalism and personality. When she isn't flirting with "Sexy Simon" Cowell, she is hounding judge Demi Lovato to elaborate on a critique or making vapid commentary while yanking up her low-cut bodice. Makes us wonder what's Brian Dunkelman is up to these days.
3. The Show Must Go On Award: To keep their fans safe in the hours leading up to Hurricane Sandy, both David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon tape their New York-based late-night shows without audiences on Monday. This means performing their monologues to empty seats and no laughs, minus the hilariously awkward, sputtered chuckles from members of their crews. Who knew bombing could be so patriotic?
2. Best Interrogation: Homeland again does the unthinkable by having Marine-turned-terrorist Nick Brody finally confess all of his misdeeds. And they didn't even have to torture him! (Though Brody's Quinn-stabbed may beg to differ.) No, all it takes is Carrie turning off the cameras and calmly talking to the Brody she met last year — the Brody who is reasonable and who let his fatherly instinct dissuade him from blowing up the vice president. Or put another way, the Brody Carrie wants to leave his wife and kids and run away with her. Wait, what? Yeah, Carrie's either still has issues or she is a very good operative. So Brody is back on Team America.... for now.
1. Most Gruesome Wake-Up Call: Note to self: Never insult Dr. Arden. American Horror Story: Asylum's resident nympho Shelley learns that the hard way when she openly laughs at his, ahem, shortcomings as a man. After being knocked out by Arden, Shelley wakes to discover that the not-so-good doctor has amputated her legs. (It gets worse: Chlöe Sevigny tells us that Dr. Arden isn't done with his modifications yet.)
What were your top moments of the week?

The fact that today is not the end of a month makes me hopeful that this is the same proprietors reinventing their business, rather than being merely priced out.I haven't been in there often, but are the owners are Asian, perhaps Korean? That is a big, sought after space.
Yes, and it could probably easily combined with the Crown Fried Chicken (CFC) next door. I don't see CFC surviving the next lease renewal.That would be cool, but there is an entrance/stairway between the two storefronts. Not sure how they'd merge the two with that entrance in the middle. Also- I think it is very interesting that you think CFC won't survive a rent increase. I walk by there every day and they always have customers (I know that isn't a perfect measure of a business's success, but they certainly are still open 24/7).
Still for rent.
I'm just adding an article about Korean fruit and veggie markets that made me think about this place: http://luckypeach.com/mr-coco-brooklyn/
