This year is the bicentennial of Richard Wagner's birth. The man widely called the greatest living Wagnerian tenor is marking the occasion in style — and asking listeners who may have turned away from the German composer to give his music another chance.
The Munich-born singer Jonas Kaufmann is currently in New York starring in the Metropolitan opera's production of Parsifal. He also has a new album, simply called Wagner, that draws from across the composer's entire career. Click the audio link on this page to her his conversation with Jacki Lyden, and read excerpts — including some that didn't make the radio version — below.
Interview Highlights
On growing up Wagnerian
"My grandfather was playing it on the piano — all the vocal scores, and trying to even sing all the parts through! It was very normal for me. Obviously, if you grow up in another background and with a completely different style of music, and you get in touch with that kind of music, it could be a shock. It's so rich and deep — it's like a drug sometimes. If you give up and let go, it really drags you into a mysterious world. For me, it was the most normal thing in the world. So therefore I believe it's actually my duty to record an album dedicated to this composer."
On artistic evolution
"Wagner changed very much, like every great composer. They were born, maybe, being geniuses, but they had to discover all their abilities and their special style. What you do as a young artist is to try to imitate others — you try to do the same as others around you were successful with. Once you feel more mature and self-confident, then you try to create your own style. That's what every musician actually tries to do. Later on, you just try to sound like you."
On the dynamism of Parsifal
"You have the first act and the third act, which are very — I don't want to call them traditional, not at all — but the harmonies are, most of the time, very settled and very regular. You know in which direction he will go; [it's] a little bit predictable. But in the second act, suddenly, it's as if if somebody has opened Pandora's box, or the door to hell! It's never stable, it never stays in one key, in one harmony. It goes back and forth all the time, wildly."
On singing in his native language
"No matter what you do, no matter what you perform, [it's important] that you know exactly what the words are, and what the real meaning is — or what maybe the alternative meanings are. Very often, you have texts that can be interpreted in different ways, depending on where you put the stress, or where you put the pause. It's very sad when you have to perform something in a language that you don't speak and that you don't understand at all, so you just have to follow always what your teacher or coach told you to do, and you get stuck with one certain interpretation.
"Wagner had a tendency to actually invent things — to invent words — because he had these ideas, he had these rhymes and phrases that he wanted to fit to each other perfectly. Sometimes, he didn't have an adequate word to finish a phrase, or in other occasions he didn't have enough time or music to express what he really wanted the audience to know. So therefore he invented combination words, to squeeze as much information into a single phrase as possible."
On Wagner's dark side
"He had some troubles. He was not the easiest guy. Besides the tendency of anti-Semeitc ideas he tried to spread, but also he was so extremely self-confident. With one of his first operas, at age 18 or 19, he sent it to theaters to see if they would consider it. When they sent it back and said no he was so furious that he wrote again and said, 'You're making such a big mistake, because I am one of the greatest composers of all time. If you refuse to play my works, you will regret it forever.'"
You're listening to WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Jacki Lyden. And it's time now for music.
LYDEN: This is - we'll say it here, building on considerable evidence - the greatest living Wagnerian tenor alive.
JONAS KAUFMANN: (Singing in foreign language)
LYDEN: His name is Jonas Kaufmann, and he's currently in New York starring in the Metropolitan Opera's production of "Parsifal." This year is the bicentennial of Richard Wagner's birth, and Kaufmann is using that occasion to ask listeners who may have turned away from Wagner at some point to give his music another listen. Jonas Kaufmann's new album draws him across the composer's entire career, and it's simply entitled "Wagner."
KAUFMANN: For me, it sounds almost like an addiction, because I grew up with Wagner, my grandfather was playing it on the piano - all the vocal scores - and trying to even sing all the parts through. So I remember him sitting next to the piano and just listening to all that, and it was very normal for me.
KAUFMANN: (Singing in foreign language)
LYDEN: This exquisite recording you've done, 11 different works here from Wagner's career, and it features music from the beginning, from the opera "Rienzi" in 1842. You sing the part of "Siegfried" more than 30 years later. Talk to me about how he changed as a composer.
KAUFMANN: Well, Wagner changed very much, almost like every great composer. But they were born - maybe - being a genius, but they had to discover their special style and everything. And what you do as a young artist, you try to imitate the others. His first operas, they're very much in the traditional style of: now comes an aria, now comes a duet, now comes a trio, here comes another aria. From then on, he started to, like we say, he composed through. So it's - the flow of the music never ends. There's not one number, and then there is a little gap, and then comes the next number.
And "Rienzi" is, again, the last example of having a real aria. And after that, you really have to take a sharp knife and cut out from barre, I don't know, from barre 340 to barre 620 and call it an aria. Between the "Rienzi" and the ring cycle, he really created something really new.
KAUFMANN: (Singing in foreign language)
LYDEN: Do you think that it's helped to be German, to know German, to grow up listening to it? You know, you're talking about having it sung into your ears as you're a child at your grandfather's knee. Does that give you, do you think, more richness and artistry in singing these lyrics?
KAUFMANN: I'm not sure. I don't know. I think very important, obviously, is in every language, no matter what you perform, that you actually know exactly what the real meaning is or what maybe alternative meanings are. Because when we have a production with several Germans, we always have discussions on what these words actually mean, because Wagner had a tendency to actually invent things. He invented the words because he had this idea that, obviously, he had always the rhymes or he always tried to make two phrases fit to each other perfectly. And then sometimes, he just wouldn't find the adequate word to finish a phrase, so therefore, he invented combination words.
LYDEN: I hope I won't be putting you on the spot, but is it possible for you to give me an example of some invented Wagnerian phrase that he uses? Do you have any of those on this album?
KAUFMANN: Let me think - on the album. There was one in the "Siegfried" scene. He's talking about his mother - how his mother would have probably looked like. And he says (German spoken).
KAUFMANN: (Singing in foreign language)
Well, rehe is a deer, and hinden(ph), I never heard. I know hunden, which is a female dog. So I thought, a dog deer? I don't know. What is that? And then I looked it up, and I found that hinden is actually a very, very old word for a female elk. So he combined it. He said, well, it has maybe the statue and the proud figure of an elk but also the beauty of deer. The only problem is no one in the audience will understand when you sing that phrase what he actually means. So...
LYDEN: Unless you think of old fairytales. I remember from my childhood where, you know, the deer, the stag and sometimes called the hind in English, H-I-N-D. There you have it.
KAUFMANN: Oh, OK.
LYDEN: Maybe.
KAUFMANN: Oh, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
LYDEN: Maybe we even...
KAUFMANN: So probably...
LYDEN: Maybe we dream this up. I don't know. People will let us know. I'm speaking with tenor Jonas Kaufmann. His new album is called "Wagner." And I think a lot of people are less familiar with the nonoperatic works. Please tell me about those - I'm going to mess up the name - "Wesendonck-Lieder?"
KAUFMANN: "Wesendonck," exactly. There was a lady called Mathilde Wesendonck, a married lady, who he - they had kind of a relationship. Nobody knows exactly. I mean, you can say...
LYDEN: Infatuation.
KAUFMANN: ...she probably was his girlfriend. So she wrote some poems, and he composed it.
KAUFMANN: (Singing in foreign language)
There's one song called "Im Treibhaus," "In the Glass House," when he describes the suffering of this plant. Even though it has warmth, it has the sun, it gets watered and everything, but it's homesick, which is kind of weird for a plant. But if you then think of the situation of Wagner, who was in kind of exile in Switzerland at that time, you can understand why he was so attracted to these ideas.
KAUFMANN: (Singing in foreign language)
LYDEN: Why was Wagner in Switzerland?
KAUFMANN: He had some troubles. I mean, besides, what we all know, he had a tendency of anti-Semitic ideas, but also, he was so extremely self-confident. When you read the very first opera - I think it was the scene that (unintelligible) he wrote, and he sent it to theaters. And they sent it back, and said: No, we're not interested.
And he was so furious that he wrote again, and he said: You're making such a big mistake because I'm one of the greatest composers of all time. That's being said by an unsuccessful, 18-year-old, want-to-be composer. So he didn't make friends so much with all his ideas and habits and everything.
LYDEN: The whole notion of the anti-Semitism that is still difficult, has - have those wounds basically healed?
KAUFMANN: Well, it's difficult to let the wounds heal because we're not only talking about Wagner in his time. We also talk about the abuse of that music during the Third Reich. But it's a pity, I have to say. It's really a pity. I totally understand that, for instance, Holocaust victims never, ever want to listen again...
LYDEN: Just can't hear it.
KAUFMANN: ...to his music because it reminds them on all the terrible things they combined with this music. But it's one of the greatest composers of all times. Unfortunately, now that I just mentioned that he said it himself, 200 years later, we have to confess it's true.
LYDEN: Jonas Kaufmann. His new album is simply titled "Wagner." And Jonas Kaufmann is currently starring in "Parsifal" at the Met. And if you can't make it to New York, they'll have a live broadcast in hundreds of movie theaters around the world on March 2.
KAUFMANN: (Singing in foreign language)

The name of the 92-year-old woman killed in Sunday night's crime spree has been released.
Carmelita L. Kaser lived at 401 Morehead St., Moberly.
Per the Moberly Police Department, the initial results of Kaser's autopsy, performed on Tuesday, April 2, at the Boone County Medical Examiner's office, indicate that the victim died of an apparent stab wound.
Jeffrey Jay Nichols, 22, and Christopher Demond Lewis III, 18, have been charged with first degree murder in Kaser's death. Both are from Macon, Mo., and both are being held on $1 million bond.
It is suspected that the duo killed Kaser prior to stealing her vehicle, which they later abandoned and burned on Randolph County Road 2515. Police found Kaser dead in her home while attempting to contact the owner of the vehicle. They discovered her homestead to be "unsecure."
Kaser's daughter, Moberly resident Phyllis Self, described her mother as "one of a kind" — "a very active 92-year-old," who "still drove to church and the grocery store."
"She was a wonderful Christian lady," Self said. "She had many friends, of many ages.
"She particularly loved children. She took great joy in her children, her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren. She was ready to die. She was looking forward to it. When we asked her to go to events with us, she'd always say 'You never know when it might be your last.' She shouldn't have died this way. This is not a way anyone should die."
Nichols and Lewis are currently being held separately, at the Randolph and Chariton County jailing facilities, awaiting arraignment.
Crime spree murder victim identified

Living with some of the most expensive land prices in Canada, interior designers in Metro Vancouver have long been forced to tweak architect Mies van der Rohe's catchphrase: Less, it seems, must always reveal more.
"Given the size of condos today, you simply have to do more than one thing with one thing," explains Danielle Lareau, principal of the locally based Giraffe Design Corp. "You have no choice but to be more creative."
Which, for the Georgie Award winner, means looking hard at inventive multipurpose solutions. Take a sofa that she commissioned for a recent project so it was deep enough to double as a bed (from SofaWorks), or a coffee table that rises to transform into a dining room table (from Home Delight Furnishings). The Montrealer, who moved west nearly 20 years ago, says that since few people use a room just for dining, for example, "it's also about not letting furniture take over a space which could be better used for something which you do more often."
That's a point that carries through into such places as the bedroom and the office for Tara Bushby, who has just opened a multipurpose furniture store in Gastown. "Dedicating a spot to do only one task is almost a waste of space," she says, as she quickly turns around bookshelves (without removing a single tome) to reveal a bed. "If you have a 400-square-foot condo downtown, you don't have that luxury. This helps to really utilize space - and taps into the Canadian consciousness of being careful about our footprint."
The Victoria native was so impressed with the Italian-designed-and-manufactured modular pieces of Resource Furniture that she flew down to its New York store with her backers, Peter McCutcheon and Roy Sandsmark of Victoria's Swiftsure Woodworkers Ltd. Now owning the rights to B.C., they brought the store to the capital in March before expanding to Vancouver last month. (Calgary and Seattle are also in their sights.) "I love good design and really wasn't looking to go into retail," she explains of the store which operates as Clei at its base in Brianza near Milan and also has an outlet in Hong Kong. "But I found it online when I was looking for a problem solver for a client, and I fell in love with it."
For her, the furniture's clean-lined approach is like the "iPad of the furniture world" in that it is a multitasker. "We improve things with digital technology, so why can't we do that with furniture?" Bushby asks, as she continues to present examples of doubleduty items, such an office desk that lifts up - all smoothly operated by pistons - to uncover a bed (prices start around $1,800).
There are plenty of other clever touches dotted throughout the showroom: The side of the sectional that folds up to allow people to walk around both sides of a folded-down queen bed - or brought down to allow a small child to sleep there - or the high shelf that can be transitioned to rest neatly under the bed, and with everything on it remaining in place.
"You can have guests over but not have to change the way you live - have it work as a fully functioning office and, without moving a book, switch it around to create a bedroom," adds Bushby, who studied at Vancouver Island University and still runs Livtona Interior Design, now in Vancouver. "With all the improvements, you can live much easier with less now. It's a different way of living, but it's a better way."
That push toward new technology also excites Caroline Ranger Bevan, whose family has focused on wall beds for three generations.
Instant Bedrooms, her family's company in Yaletown and Richmond (where it both manufactures and sells the beds, too), now imports a mechanism that allows for easy transformations from a long-established French company.
"These things have to be fingertip control - it can't be a big lug," she explains. Surrounded by a range of finishes for different styles and budget (from contemporary flat panel to custom carvings; a Buddha head, for example, illustrates "that these can be seen as much as an art piece as utility"), the design consultant agrees that it is "crazy" to waste floor spaces with a bed.
Ranger Bevan thinks that wall beds (priced from around $1,500) are the perfect solution for apartments with balconies off the bedrooms. Rather than having guests traipsing past your bed, you can return the bed into the wall (without removing the bedding on the spring mattresses that sit on laminated beech slats, allowing for ventilation) and push a couple of buttons to bring out an instant table. "Great for holding the cocktails," she laughs.
Even when space is unlimited (the store works with many larger homes, as well as hotel groups such as Fairmont and Pan Pacific), she believes few want to "lose" a room. "People don't relegate the room to a spare room when guests may only come a few times a year," she believes. "Yet when someone comes to stay, they want them to have a proper bed." (Side beds, which are lower and run sideways along the wall, have also been a trend for some time, since they protrude less into the room and may be easier for those with disabilities.)
So the next time you see a chair, a bookshelf or a coffee table, you can bet some inventor will be wondering what myriad other things it could be. After all, one-function furniture - as Ranger Bevan says - "is almost old school."

When you are in crisis mode, you aren't planning for the future.
The U.S. government has been shut down for more than a week.
It hasn't affected most Americans. But almost a million people are furloughed. Some are coming to work and hoping to get paid later.
The Republicans in Congress are holding appropriation bills hostage in an attempt to defund the Affordable Care Act – more commonly known as Obamacare.
But the Republicans blame the Democrats for the shutdown because they aren't exactly lining up to negotiate a settlement to the situation.
You could spend all day arguing about which side is right but you would just end up losing your voice and maybe your mind.
Here is something I have learned as a leader in private business, when you are in crisis mode, you aren't planning for the future. No one plans a vacation while their house is on fire.
Our federal legislators have been governing from crisis to crisis for most of the past six years. The government is threatened with shutting down over debt limits, budgets and Obamacare.
There is a constant fight over one topic or another. What is missing is any planning for future success.
There is no time to work on projects or programs that might benefit small business owners or address unemployment rates.
We just continue the legislative showdowns and hope for the best.
Hope is not a strategy.
The government used to be able to do big things. That time has seemingly passed.
During this week 77 years ago, the government was flipping the switch on Hoover Dam to provide power to Los Angeles and water to a previously arid region.
A project that began under Herbert Hoover's administration was completed as part of FDR's administration as a public works project.
The Hoover Dam stopped the flow of the Colorado River and created Lake Mead, a massive water supply that serves a huge area.
The power generation capabilities of the dam were a valuable secondary benefit.
Both of these functions of this massive project are still having a positive impact on a multi-state region today.
What will people look back on from this Congress in 77 years? The only thing we can accomplish is going to war and then arguing about how and when to end the war.
We're still in Iraq. Afghanistan has been raging on for 13 years. We're on the precipice of a shooting match in Syria.
In 1936, when this project was completed, the world was on the brink of World War II. Japan was at war with China. Hitler held the reins in Germany.
But we were still supporting projects that changed the country for the better for at least eight decades.
That isn't happening today.
President Barack Obama could negotiate with a wide variety of members of Congress and maybe get us away from this stalemate.
But we are a long way from being able to give future generations anything other than more war debt and marks on the timeline for when the government lost its credit rating or shut down for the second time.
Someone needs to find a way to end the fighting and develop a true vision for the future.
Hoping for the best is nice and all. But it takes leadership and hard work to accomplish anything that will last beyond the latest 24-hour news cycle.

It's amazing the number of people who still are spewing venom because their candidate didn't win the presidency. The loss, of course, is everyone's fault but their own.
I hope to hear a lot more of the same in the next four years.
The same people have been just as outspoken throughout President Barack Obama's first term. They displayed just as much hatred, ignorance, racism and elitism as they are displaying now, and it defines their party.
America is tired of hate, greed and incompetence. That's why Obama won both of his elections.

Important Stuff to Do
Alright guys, we're migrating over to the new wiki because Mr. Overlord wants us to. Obviously, there are a few absolutely essential pages we will need if we want a successful wiki, so:
- Obviously we should get rid of all the red links in navigation so we have somewhere to start.
- For Brikwars Universe, we should get Dimmies. - Inhabitants of the Galaxy, obviously we should get most of the "Old Guard" and famous people on there, here's a few off the top of my head: Rayhawk, IVHorseman, Almighty Benny, Warhead, Silverdream, Rocc77, Tuefish, PedoNuker, Blitzen, BFenix, Zahru, Piltogg, Shadowscythe, aoffan23, Assterios, Elmagnifico, James+Burgundy, Tzan etc.
- Civilizations has already been established, yay, but obviously we need a few more big players. Some major empires that we must absolutely have wiki pages for: Immortal Empire, Assyrian Star Empire, 45th Union, Allied Nations, Third Alliance, United Systems Alliance, The Synthetic Organic Coalition, Akkadian Empire of Ultra-Badassery, Union of Soviet Socialist Space Republiks (U.S.S.S.R), The VOL, Space Ninjas and Space Pirates, Lite-Siders, Time-Traveling Super Jews, Medivo, FELC, Republic of Independent Nations
- Vehicles and Machines: General articles about SHIPs, Armored Cars, Armored Cores, Dreadnoughts and Super Death Tanks would be nice. Also, we need to import the LDD microspace table over here.
- Weapons and Teknology: Orange-Transparent Chainsaw is a must. Maybe articles about Nova Swords. Finally, since they're so common, I think we could use a page of stats of Assyrian Weaponry.
- Tactics and Strategy: Article about Turtling and Anoraks.
- History and Chronology: Triangulism- FoBoB War, Immortal War, Allied Nations- Third Alliance War, Space Wars. In particular, a list of battles for each, and The Assyrian Incident under the Immortal War. Description of Ragnablok.
- Religions and Theology: Triangulism, FoBoB, Universal Church of Explosions, Invisible Pink Unicorn, Raptor Jesus, Dice Cults. Also, add Brikthulu and 2 by 2 to directory page.
- Places and Locations: LOL I dunno. Maybe Iceworld
- Buildings and Structures: Death Wall
- Literature: The Scythian Shorts, Brikwars: A Book (aka the stupid comics that feature Tzan in the last panel), Death of the Alliance
- Gaming: ???
- /b/: This page, along with any sort of wiki administration pages.
- Brikwars Chat: Brikwars Chat. That should explain itself.
You can delete stuff here (except the directory pages) when they turn blue.
Battle Reports: Add your battle reports to the list.

Difference between revisions of "Hamilton (Ontario)"
Revision as of 03:21, 27 December 2010
Hamilton [13] is a port city in Ontario with a population around 505,000. It is situated at the westernmost end of Lake Ontario—the city wraps around the lake and continues towards the Niagara Escarpment, referred to by locals as "the mountain."
Conceived by George Hamilton when he purchased the Durand farm shortly after the War of 1812, Hamilton has become the centre of a densely populated and industrialized region at the west end of Lake Ontario known as the Golden Horseshoe. Formerly, the city limits of Hamilton were bounded by approximately Horning Road in the west and Centennial Parkway in the east, but a continuous urban or suburban area had grown around the city, in the towns of Dundas, Ancaster, Stoney Creek and the community of Greensville in the town of Flamborough. On January 1, 2001 the new City of Hamilton was formed through amalgamation of the former City with the constituent towns of the Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Municipality. In addition to the aforementioned communities, the city also includes the community of Waterdown, which is located closer to Burlington than it is to the urban portion of Hamilton. Residents of the city are known as Hamiltonians. Since 1981, the metropolitan area has been listed as the ninth largest in Canada and the third largest in Ontario.
Traditionally, the local economy has been led by the steel and heavy manufacturing industries. Within the last decade, there has been a shift towards the service sector, particularly health sciences. The Hamilton Health Sciences corporation employs nearly 10,000 staff and serves approximately 2.2 million people in the region.
Hamilton is home to the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, the Bruce Trail, McMaster University and several colleges. The Canadian Football Hall of Fame can be found downtown right beside Hamilton City Hall and across town to the east, the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats play at Ivor Wynne Stadium. Partly because of its diverse locations, numerous TV and film productions have been filmed in Hamilton, regulated by the Hamilton Film and Television Office. A growing arts and culture sector garnered media attention in a 2006 Globe and Mail news article, entitled "Go West, Young Artist," which focused on the growing art scene in Hamilton. The article highlighted local art galleries, recording studios and independent film production.
Get in
By plane
By car
Main thoroughfares into Hamilton include the Queen Elizabeth Way/Highway 403, and Highway 6. Hamilton is ideally situated for tourists, being roughly 1 hour from both Toronto and Niagara Falls.
By bus
Most regional bus services depart from the Hamilton GO Centre, a handsome art deco structure, in the heart of downtown at Hunter and Hughson South between James and John Streets.
By train
Hamilton itself is not serviced by VIA Rail, but VIA Rail does stop in nearby Aldershot (in Burlington), which is along the Windsor-Quebec City corridor.
By boat
When approaching Hamilton Harbour from the east- Lake Ontario- remember that the lift bridge opens every half hour on the hour.
According to Section 177(1) of the Highway Traffic Act, it is illegal for a pedestrian to enter any 400 series highway or the QEW. Not only is it illegal, but very unsafe due to the high velocity and dense volume of traffic. If you should choose to do so anyway you can expect a police officer to pick you up and remove you within a short time.
A safe and legal alternative is to hitchhike on the on-ramp, providing there is sufficient space for a vehicle to pull over without endangering the driver or passing traffic.
Hitchhiking on other roads in Hamilton (and Ontario) is legal so long as you do not stand in the roadway itself.
Get around
Hamilton Street and Railway Co. (HSR)[15] operates public transit buses in the city and the surrounding suburbs. The fare is $2.55 as of February 14, 2010. No change is provided. HSR has partnered with Google Maps to provide a comprehensive trip planner.
Hamilton is divided into two main sections—"The Mountain" and downtown. The Mountain refers to anything on the escarpment—access to the mountain is limited to a few roads, which often arrive on a different street than when you started. If you're going up the mountain, take a second to learn which access you need to take. Driving on the mountain accesses in the winter can be treacherous, and even many locals avoid it if possible due to icy road conditions. During severe storms many and sometimes even all of the accesses can be closed by the city, making travel between the two major districts nearly impossible. The Sherman Access changes to one-way traffic during rush hour, to get traffic down the mountain in the morning and up the mountain in the afternoon. If you aren't aware of this, it can mean having to take a long detour if you've committed to taking the Sherman but can't. Even outside of rush hour the signage on this access can be confusing.
Hamilton is infamous for having mainly one-way streets throughout its downtown core, although many have turned two-way over recent years. Be aware of what intersection you're heading for, and what streets precede it, or you may overshoot. Conversion back to two way streets began in 2004. In the fall of 2005, John and James Streets, main North/South arteries, were converted back to two way traffic. Most of the locals preferred the one way system, but visitors will find it easier to get around.
Rush hour traffic can be problematic like in any other large city. Try to avoid driving down Upper James Street in the mornings or between 4-6PM unless you're content to watch pedestrians overtake you on the sidewalks. The nearby street of West 5th (next major street to the west of Upper James) generally has a far lower volume of traffic and can save you upwards of 10 minutes of driving time. It also sports a mountain access that can get you down to (lower) James Street in no time at all.
The Lincoln Alexander Expressway (known locally as the Linc or Link) is a city by-pass that runs across the mountain from Ancaster to Stoney Creek. If you're trying to get past the city be sure to avoid the major roads (Mohawk, Fennell, Stone Church or Rymal) at all costs and take the Linc, which will save you ample time and gas.
There are some duplicate street names between Hamilton and the surrounding areas it amalgamated with; for example, there is a King Street in Dundas, Hamilton, and Stoney Creek.
The transit system is average at best for a city of its size. Downtown service is quite good, but the neighbouring suburbs suffer from infrequent buses, primarily due to high levels of car ownership. On Sundays and holidays expect 30-60 minute waits between buses, even on fairly major routes (such as Upper James Street on the Hamilton Mountain). Late or too-early buses are a common problem on the mountain and can get irritating for locals who depend on transit to get to work. The City has recently announced plans to fund improvements in bus service with additional buses on major routes, but this has not yet been realized.
The major bus hub is located at Gore Park, which runs along King Street and intersects at James (King and James is a notorious neighborhood for night-time crime and day-time eccentrics and homeless). You can catch a bus to pretty much any part of the city from Gore Park, and each stop generally has a schedule posted on the pole for your convenience. As of January 2 2011, Gore Park will be largely replaced by the new MacNab Street Transit Terminal, which is a short walk several minutes west of Gore. This will affect many, but not all buses. If you have any questions just ask a local - most people are usually quite friendly and helpful and will be happy to provide suggestions if you're looking for a place to visit or something to do while visiting.
Many locals will have stories about rude or inattentive drivers, but if you are missed by a speeding driver or find yourself thrown around by over-zealous use of the brakes you can contact the usually-friendly HSR help desk to file a complaint.
Hamilton has a few main shopping districts. While less is available in Hamilton than in neighbouring Toronto, a few good areas successfully specialize in antiques or specialty boutiques.
It's not difficult to find a superb variety of foods in Hamilton. Having a large minority and immigrant population, many people in Hamilton can and do take the opportunity to eat exotic cuisines.
Hamilton is a fairly large city and therefore enjoys almost every mid-range dining chain. Examples include Kelsey's, Montana's, The Keg, etc. Hess Street, in addition to housing some newer upper-scale establishments, has several mid-range places that offer fantastic food (Ceilidh House being an example).
Stay safe
Hamilton resides on a highly polluted area of Lake Ontario. High levels of E. Coli bacteria usually prevent the beach from being open for swimming season. In addition, the city suffers from high air pollution including fine particulate matter, consistent with most of Southern Ontario from Windsor through Oshawa. [51]
Like most cities, there are unsafe areas which should be avoided. Some of the areas that may be problematic after dark due to black market activities (i.e. sex trade and illegal narcotics) are Barton Street around Gage Street and King Street between Wentworth and Victoria, along with the general downtown area including Gore Park and Jackson Square, but again, only at night.
Hess Village can and does experience the usual amount of drunken bar fights (typically outside of the bars), but this is no different from any other large city. Several uniformed police officers typically patrol the small area on busier nights.
Use common sense and avoid walking around alone at night. Police presence is usually infrequent in less-busy neighbouroods, so it can be best to avoid them unless you have business.
The rate of violent crime is moderate compared to other similarly-sized Canadian cities.
The beautiful trails along the Niagara Escarpment can sometimes run quite close to unfenced, unmarked cliff edges. Stay on the trail and use caution and you'll be fine.
Get out
There are many points of interest in the large rural area that is still within Hamilton's city limits:
Some interesting places a short drive away are:

Lake Ozark Mayor Johnny Franzeskos was re-elected to another term Tuesday night, but incumbent alderman Todd Painter lost his seat to a local businesswoman.
Lake Ozark Mayor Johnny Franzeskos was re-elected to another term Tuesday night, but incumbent alderman Todd Painter lost his seat to a local businesswoman.
Franzeskos held off former mayor Paul Sale by a 2 to 1 margin, 278 to 109. Franzeskos garnered 73.5 percent of the vote, and Sale received 28 percent.
Sale, who was mayor 2004-06, lost for the second time to Franzeskos. Miller County made the difference for the incumbent mayor where he received 267 votes to Sale's 97. Sale actually edged Franzeskos in Camden County 12-11.
"I believe it was honesty, hard work and everybody working together moving the city forward," Franzeskos said of his victory. "I ran a clean and honest campaign, and I've been honest with the citizens. That's important. I tell them, this is your city and come to the meetings and tell us what you want."
Ward 3
Betsey Browning, owner of The Dam Bait Shop and Campground, unseated incumbent Ward 3 Alderman Todd Painter 63-50. Browning received 55.7 percent of the vote, and Painter 44.2 percent even though the margin of victory was only 13 votes.
They each had 44 votes in Miller County, but Camden County voters gave Browning the edge 19-6.
"I believe people in Lake Ozark want change, and to get change you need new people and new ideas," Browning said. "I think the city is moving in the right direction, but it's in a lull right now. People have gotten comfortable, at least that's what I'm hearing.
"People want the Strip cleaned up, to make it nicer for families and tourists. And ordinances need to be enforced."
Browning, who admits she's outspoken, said she plans to jump into her new role with both feet. The oath of office for Franzeskos and Browning will take place during the April 9 board of alderman meeting.
Ward 1 Alderman Judy Neels received 106 votes and Ward 2 Alderman Tony Otto received 133 in uncontested races.

ADAMS TWP — Mars High School students were evacuated to Mars Middle School after lunch today after a note with a bomb threat was found.
Police vehicles blocked all entrances to the school on Route 228, and Superintendent William Pettigrew could be seen at 2 p.m. hurriedly leading a handful of officers from the Allegheny County Explosive Protection Team truck into the building's main entrance. Soon after that, two officers led a dog from car to car in the parking lot in front of the school.
A letter on the district's website said the school was closed, and that all sports and activities were canceled for this evening.
The letter said sweeps of the school would be performed today afternoon and again on Tuesday morning before the start of the school day. School will be held on Tuesday, albeit with heightened security.

The Weed Cougars and Mount Shasta Bears basketball teams turned in an exciting evening of action at Cougar Gymnasium Tuesday, with each team securing two victories in the four-game series.
The highly anticipated varsity boys contest proved to be the highlight of the evening with the Bears stealing a 56-54 victory at the buzzer on a Cesar Gonzalez leaner.
With 13 seconds remaining in the game, the Cougars trailed the Bears 54-52. The Cougars set up an in-bounds play that opened up Edgar Casorla with a 3-point attempt. Casorla's shot rimmed off; Noah Traylor battled his way to the rebound and worked his way to a foul call with six seconds left.
Traylor needed to hit two free-throws to keep the Cougars alive.Traylor focused himself and splashed down his first free-throw with ease.
After a Mount Shasta timeout, Traylor lined up the biggest shot of his high school career, and released. As the ball splashed through the net, the crowd erupted in excitement, but the game was not over.
In an instant the Bears inbounded the ball to Gonzalez, who raced down the court, leaped, and tossed up a leaner that buried itself in the basket and took down the hometown Cougars in an unbelievable finish.
"Coach said in the timeout to push it up and drive to the hoop if he made the free throw," an excited Gonzalez commented. "I just got the ball, went down as fast as I could, threw it up and it went in. It feels really good, I love this moment."
The Bears and Cougars are now tied for second in the SCL with a 4-1 record, chasing the 4-0 Modoc Braves. Weed is now 16-3 overall and Mount Shasta improved to 14-4.
Mount Shasta big man Dylan Padula led all scorers with 20 points. Daylon Blakely finished with 17 points and Gonzalez added 15 points.
Trevor Shaffer led the way for the Cougars with 13 points followed by Casorla and Traylor, who each scored 12 points.
Varsity Girls
For just the second time since the 2004-2005 season the Weed Lady Cougars took down the Mount Shasta Lady Bears 44-22 to claim sole possession of first place in the SCL.
Both squads came in with 4-0 records in the SCL.
With reigning league MVP Karene Marshall leading the way, the Lady Cougars jumped out to an early lead and kept the Lady Bears at bay to keep their perfect run through the early part of the league schedule intact.
"The girls showed a lot of heart tonight," Weed head coach Bob West said. "We've played a few bad games, but tonight they played together and played very well."
Foul trouble proved costly for the Lady Bears as three of their top players were forced to spend ample time on the bench throughout the game.
The Lady Cougars jumped out to a 13-3 advantage in the first period, but the Lady Bears battled back to in the second period and sent the game to halftime with a score of 18-13.
In the third period, the Lady Cougars came alive on both sides of the ball pouring 14 points on offense while limiting the Lady Bears to four points.
The Lady Cougar attack didn't slow down in the fourth period as the put the Lady Bears away with a 12-5 run securing the dominant 44-22 victory.

Farmers, ranchers and their families gathered at the Elks Lodge in Cortez Saturday for the annual Southwestern Colorado Livestock Association and to recognize the Stockman and Cowbelle of the Year.
The most prestigious agriculture awards in the southwestern region are given to those who embrace both the agriculture industry and activity in the community in the past year. They are awarded by members of the SCLA board who compile family background and business information on the winners, and obtain personal stories from family members and friends.
The 2013 Stockman of the Year was awarded to Steve Hinton, who was born and raised in Cortez to a regional pioneer family. Cowbelle of the Year went to Kate Greaves, who was born in Trinidad, Colo.
Both recipients were surprised and gracious as they accepted their awards.
Jason Blackmer, president of the SCLA board and Bev Humiston, president of the Southwestern Cowbelles presented the awards.
Growing up, Hinton was part of a cattle ranch and alfalfa producer.
Hinton was born and raised in Cortez and attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and Mesa State College in Grand Junction. After college he mined in Rico then went on to work for a tire company. He lived in Denver, Grand Junction and then Cortez. He worked for Nielsen's Construction for 22 years and retired in May 1998. During his time at Nielsen's, he couldn't shake his desire to return to ranching. He entered into a partnership with his father and they purchased land near Groundhog Reservoir in Dolores County to use for summer grazing.
"I owe my livestock days to my father," Hinton said. "He taught me everything I know."
Over the years, he has served as a past president on the board of the Cattleman's Association, served on the Montezuma-Cortez School District board and the Vo-Tech School Board. He has a strong involvement in both water issues and community service.
Hinton was surprised to receive the honor.
"I thought old and successful guys were supposed to get these awards," Hinton said to the crowd.
Greaves was equally shocked by her award. "I am just flat floored. I had no idea!"
Greaves grew up on a mini-farm that had chickens, ducks, rabbits, horses and cows. She made her way to Southwest Colorado after she married in 1971. She joined the Southwest Cowbelles in 2004. She takes care of cattle and horses, has a leather shop for making purses and other items, and is also a seamstress.
She has been on numerous committees over the years including; Adopt-a-Highway Cleanup, Ag Expo Booth, Beef Education, Fair Booth, Quilt Ticket Sales, Youth Legislation, Home and Garden Show and many more. She served as vice president of the Cowbelles from 2008-09 and Secretary in 2012. She resigned when her husband was diagnosed with cancer. As a busy, caring and compassionate woman, Greaves was rightly recognized that evening by her community members.
The SCLA board also held a silent auction with proceeds going to youth scholarships to kids active in the agricultural community. To date, the association has awarded over $50,000 in scholarships. One item, a handmade decorative rope vase, sold for $600. The prizes were donated from at least 20 different local banks and businesses in Cortez, Dolores, Dove Creek and Mancos.
