Rexford Guy Tugwell (July 10, 1891 – July 21, 1979) was an agricultural economist who became part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's first "Brain Trust," a group of Columbia University academics who helped develop policy recommendations leading up to Roosevelt's 1932 election as President. Tugwell subsequently served in FDR's administration for four years and was one of the chief intellectual contributors to his New Deal. His ideas on urban planning during the Great Depression resulted in the construction of Greenbelt, Maryland and other new suburbs.
Later in his life, Tugwell served as the director of the New York City Planning Commission, the US-appointed Governor of Puerto Rico (1941-1946), and a professor at various universities, with lengthy service at the University of Chicago and the University of California at Santa Barbara. He wrote twenty books, covering the politics of the New Deal, biographies of major politicians, issues in planning, and memoirs of some of his experiences.
Early life and education[edit]
Rexford Tugwell was born in 1891 in Sinclairville, New York. In his youth, he gained an appreciation for workers' rights and liberal politics from the works of Upton Sinclair, James Bryce, and Edward Bellamy.[1] Tugwell began studying economics in graduate work at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and completed his doctorate at Columbia University. At university, he was influenced by such professors as economists Scott Nearing, Simon Patten, and Carl Parker, and John Dewey in philosophy.[2]
Academic economist[edit]
After graduation, Tugwell served as junior faculty at the University of Washington, American University in Paris, and Columbia University.
Tugwell's approach to economics was experimentalist, and he viewed the industrial planning of World War I as a successful experiment. He advocated agricultural planning (led by industry) to stop the rural poverty that had become prevalent due to a crop surplus after the First World War. This method of controlling production, prices, and costs was especially relevant as the Great Depression began.[3]
Roosevelt administration[edit]
In 1932 Tugwell was invited to join President Franklin Roosevelt's team of advisers known as the Brain Trust. After Roosevelt's inauguration in 1933, Tugwell was appointed first as Assistant Secretary and then in 1934 as Undersecretary of the United States Department of Agriculture. He helped create the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) and served as its director. The AAA consisted of a domestic allotment program, which paid farmers to voluntarily reduce their production by roughly 30%, funded with a tax on processing companies that used farm commodities. Tugwell's department managed the production of key crops by adjusting the subsidies for non-production.[4]
Tugwell was also instrumental in creating the Soil Conservation Service in 1933, to restrict cultivation, restore poor-quality land, and introduce better agricultural practices to farmers to conserve the soil.[5] This was especially necessary given the widespread damage of the 1930s' Dust Bowls. He additionally played a key role in crafting the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
In April 1935 Tugwell and Roosevelt created the Resettlement Administration (RA), a unit of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Directed by Tugwell, the RA sought to create healthy communities for the rural unemployed by relocating them to new communities for access to urban opportunities. Some of the RA's activities dealt with land conservation and rural aid, but the construction of new suburban satellite cities was the most prominent. In her book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, the author Jane Jacobs critically quotes Tugwell on the program: "My idea is to go just outside centers of population, pick up cheap land, build a whole community and entice people into it. Then go back into the cities and tear down whole slums and make parks of them."[6] She believed that he underestimated the strengths of complex urban communities and caused too much social displacement in "tearing down" neighborhoods that might have been renovated. This resulted in greater damage to inner city neighborhoods.[7]
The RA completed three "Greenbelt" towns before the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit found the program unconstitutional in Franklin Township v. Tugwell. It ruled that housing construction was a state power, and the RA was an illegal delegation of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration's power.[8][9]
Tugwell had previously been denounced as "Rex the Red".[10] The RA's suburban resettlement program earned him condemnation as Communist and Un-American because of its social planning aspects.[11]
American Molasses Co.[edit]
Given the opposition to his policies, Tugwell resigned from the Roosevelt administration at the end of 1936. He was appointed as a vice president at the American Molasses Co. At this time, he divorced his first wife and married Grace Falke, his former assistant.[12]
Director of New York City Planning Commission[edit]
In 1938 Tugwell was appointed as the first director of the New York City Planning Commission. New York's reformist mayor, Fiorello LaGuardia, created the commission as part of a city charter reform aimed at reducing corruption and inefficiency. The Planning Commission had relatively limited powers: all actions needed approval from the legislative Board of Estimate. Tugwell tried to assert the commission's power. He tried to retroactively enforce nonconforming land uses, despite a lack of public or legal support. His commission sought to establish public housing at moderate densities, yet repeatedly approved FHA requests for greater density. Robert Moses killed Tugwell's proposed fifty-year master plan with a fiery public denouncement of its open-space protections.[13]
Governor of Puerto Rico[edit]
Tugwell served as the last appointed American Governor of Puerto Rico, from 1941 to 1946. He worked with the legislature to create the Puerto Rico Planning, Urbanization, and Zoning Board in 1942. Tugwell supported Puerto Rican self-government through the repeal of the Organic Act in 1948. He publicly supported Luis Muñoz Marín's Popular Democratic Party, the PPD, which wanted a Commonwealth status.[14]
As he prepared to retire from the Governorship, Tugwell was instrumental in getting the first Puerto Rican appointed to the job, Jesús T. Piñero, then serving as Resident Commissioner in Washington, DC. Tugwell also served as Chancellor of the University of Puerto Rico.
Return to academia[edit]
After his stint as governor, Tugwell returned to teaching at a variety of institutions. He had years of service at the University of Chicago, where he helped develop their planning program. He moved to Greenbelt, Maryland, one of the new suburbs designed and built by the Resettlement Administration under his direction.
After the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Tugwell believed that global planning was the only sure way to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. He participated in the Committee to Frame a World Constitution from 1945 to 1948. He also thought the national constitution needed to be amended to enable economic planning. Late in life, he drafted a constitution for the Newstates of America. In it, Planning would become a new branch of federal government, alongside the Regulatory and Electoral branches.[15]
During this time, Tugwell wrote several books, including a biography of Grover Cleveland, subtitled: A Biography of the President Whose Uncompromising Honesty and Integrity Failed America in a Time of Crisis (1968). His biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt was entitled FDR: An Architect of an Era. A Stricken Land was his memoir about his years in Puerto Rico. This book was reprinted in 2007 by the Muñoz Marín Foundation.
Representation in other media[edit]
- Tugwell is mentioned in the Ernie Pyle book, Home Country.
- Philip K. Dick's novel, The Man in the High Castle (1962), set in a world where America was conquered by Germany and Japan, features a novel within a novel, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy. In it, Tugwell was elected President of the United States in 1940, succeeding Franklin Roosevelt, and received much of the credit for the Allied victory in World War II, after which the US enters a Cold War with an intact, expansionist British Empire rather than the Soviet Union.

It was a tense hour in an El Paso County neighborhood after a resident received a call regarding a bomb outside her home.
The woman called the El Paso County Sheriff's Office after receiving the anonymous call at 7:02 a.m.
Sheriff's deputies got to work evacuating people door-by-door on the 1200 block of Commanchero Drive and immediate surrounding areas. Commanchero Drive is off of Peterson Road on the far eastern edge of Colorado Springs.
Commanchero was also closed at Mescalero.
Lt. Jeff Kramer with EPSO told 11 News that deputies searched the neighborhood but were unable to find anything. The search was called off shortly after 8 a.m.

Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel has delivered the 2013 budget to the County Commission.
The nearly $250 million does not utilize any of the county "rainy day" fund to balance the budget despite declining property values and state shared revenues.
"I am proud to say that with the cooperation and extra effort of countywide elected officials, department leaders, and county employees, we are able to once again present a balanced budget for the upcoming fiscal year," Hackel said in a release.
During the past three years, the county has had to cut and fill gaps in the budget of more than $52 million, according to the county. The proposed budget also includes forecasts for 2014 and 2015.
"This is a remarkable achievement," Hackel stated in the release. "Especially given the continued drop in property assessments and the reductions in state revenue sharing."
The county is also one of three counties in Michigan, and one of 67 in the country, to have a AAA bond rating.
"The citizens of Macomb County have the right to be very proud of the new form of government they voted to create in 2009," Hackel added. "Macomb has built a lot of momentum since that time and this financial plan will continue moving the County in a positive direction."
The County Commission has three months to approve the budget.

Twelve South to start shipping iPhone 5 BookBook case this Monday
Twelve South has announced that it will start shipping its hugely popular BookBook case for the iPhone 5 this Monday. The BookBook was first made available back in 2011 and was a superb case that was also a fully functioning wallet. If you were looking for a converged case and wallet then you couldn't do much better than this. Well from Monday you can get hold of one for your iPhone 5 too.
Between the hardback covers of BookBook for iPhone 5, you'll find a leather-wrapped frame that securely holds iPhone and offers edge-to-edge access to all four inches of iPhone's stunning Retina display. You'll have easy access to all ports and buttons as well. Thanks to customer feedback, this BookBook has a built-in camera hole so you can quickly capture photos with the iPhone 5 iSight camera. And Apple's Passbook app is a great way to carry your rewards cards, airline cards and coupons without fattening your wallet.
One look and you'll be hooked on this beautifully-designed mini book. Available in your choice of Classic Black and Vintage Brown, each BookBook is hand-distressed using high quality leather. BookBook is a conversation piece and a totally unique case that disguises your phone and wallet, while protecting both. It's a wallet that looks like no other and a case that keeps your iPhone from looking like everyone else's.
The BookBook case will cost $59.99 regardless of your color choice; although Vintage Brown is only available at launch. Shipping is included in the price in the US and Twelve South does offer international shipping at extra cost. Could you see yourself using a case like this? I personally love the look of this case and think it looks extremely well made too.

There are 19 comments. Add yours.
Gotta have it! I had the BookBook for my iPhone 4, but when I was forced to go back to my wallet when I picked up the 5. Can't wait!
Ordered mine, for international orders you have add 25$, still had a look of the price in my apple store in Spain for the book book for the 4S, and it´s cheaper to buy online the new one than the old one in the apple store
Stoked. Ordered two immediately upon receipt of the email from TwelveSouth. Have missed not only the functionality, but the (literally) daily comments from people out and about regarding what a cool looking, fun case the BookBook was.
Ordered mine. I got complements on my other one for the 4S everywhere. Can't wait.
I had one of these for my 4S, and it was great. The only issue I had was that when using the phone as a phone (can you imagine that), it was awkward to hold it open and put it to your ear. Usually had to use speakerphone. The thing I miss about not having this case is I keep forgetting to grab my wallet when I leave the house.
Anyone need a BookBook for the 4 or 4S?
I wouldn't want this case. It will be far too disturbing to use the iPhone especially when playing games
BRILLIANT idea!!
Now when I lose my phone, I can lose my wallet at the same F***ING time!!!
I had the same fear but in reality having to only manage one item rather than two will lessen the probability that I lose anything.
Looks like i've found my case for the iPhone 5 (when I get it). I may still augment it with a bumper like case when I want to travel really light but I suspect I'll get the BookBook and that'll be what I use 80% of the time.
This still freaks me out. Having had my phone stolen out of my purse...not something I will probably go for. I've had my purse stolen while having my phone IN my hand, so at least I still had my phone while losing my wallet...I can't imagine losing both at once.
I ordered one as soon as I saw what it looked like. Cannot wait to put it on my phone.
This will fit right into your man-purse! Got to be the most emasculating product on an already emasculating phone!
anyone know how well this fits in a pocket? I like carrying things in my front pockets but dont want it too bulky... I would be a little nervous carrying this in my back pocket....
Very uneasy about the hard plastic parts of the case. The outwards facing plastic IS leather wrapped, but the inside facing plastic is very hard and rough along the edges. Im concerned this hard plastic will wear the finish off the corners of the case where the plastic rubs. I also fear it will scuff the chamfered edge. Anyone have any experience with their cases yet? Mine is staring me down but im not sure im down with it.
Twelve South... please make a south-paw edition ^_^
How do you talk/use the phone with this type of case? Does it slide out for phone calls?

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Four people piled out of three cars, a couple of six packs of beer in hand, a mini-processional that took place just a few hours after the last school bus passed Mike Moran's modest Victoria Street home one recent morning.
To onlooking neighbors — at least one of which paused to watch while mowing his lawn nearby — the recurring Tuesday morning visit from beer-toting friends might arouse suspicions that the professional musician is pilfering sick days to party. But nothing could be farther from the truth.
Each week, Moran meets Carly Anderson, Shaun McKolay and Bob Miller at his front door. The friends exchange pleasantries, crack open a couple of fresh beers, clock-in and head for Moran's basement.
They are the cast and crew of "Drink My Brewcast", a weekly podcast that mixes a melange of beer critique, brewer interviews and bartender shenanigans.
Within a few minutes, Anderson, 26, McKolay, 31, and Miller, 27, were seated inside a sound booth in Moran's basement around a table littered with their notebooks, a handful of pint glasses and a few bottles of beer.
"It's time for the Drink My Brewcast show for Thurs ...," Moran said into a microphone that hangs above his table of mixing boards outside the studio before mumbling a curse under his breath. "I thought I said Tuesday."
The trio inside the booth laughed at and heckled Moran while he tried three more times to spit out the correct sequence of words for the show's introduction. All four of the show's stalwart characters once worked together at Northpeak Brewing in traverse City.
McKolay still works at the brewery, while Anderson and Miller work elsewhere. Anderson is co-owner of Brewery Ferment and probably the most experienced beer analyst in the group.
The focus of the show's beer selection is on Michigan brews that are available at stores in Traverse City.
They begin the show by tasting and critiquing the beer of the week. The analysis ranges from Anderson's detailed descriptions of the malt body of a beer to more Joe-on-the-street responses from McKolay.
"I would have two or three, well three to six," said McKolay of Right Brain Brewing's Hawkowl Amber.
"Dude, you'd be drunk (expletive) if you drank six," Miller shot back.
The group doesn't have to worry about censoring its language on air since the Federal Communications Commission doesn't govern podcasts. Still, despite an occasional four-letter word or overt innuendo, the foursome tries to keep the show from getting too raunchy.
All four have spent plenty of time around beer and breweries. And they all love a good beer. Still, none of them is a beer snob by any stretch.
"I think that's what makes this show great," Miller said. "We're not all beer gurus. People can listen in and experience with us, learn with us. We like to have fun and drink beer. And we do it at 10 a.m. on Tuesday."
The show is Miller's brainchild, but relies heavily on Moran's equipment and technical expertise. Since the first weekly podcast posted online in January, the show has clocked 7,700 listens, Moran said.
The download tally was enough to get the show featured at least twice on the front page of PodBean, a podcast hosting website, as a rising star.
But it's not all about tasting beers. The hour-long podcast features several regular segments, including food and beer pairings and the "stumble of the week," a segment which highlights one of the host's shenanigans.
McKolay and Miller also regularly recant tales of their most outrageous or obnoxious customers in an effort to help teach listeners some of the finer points of beer etiquette and more generally manners.
"I need a place to say it, and I can't say it there," Miller said of frustrating incidents at work.
They hope to eventually expand the show to a live call-in format, but have been taking developments slowly, Moran said.
"We all learned this on the fly," Moran said. "I've been in a band for 10 years and I've had more fun doing this than anything."
After the hours-long recording session, the crew frantically works to clip together segments and polish the audio. Moran then posts the podcast, usually by sometime later Tuesday, to the Internet.
They haven't sold any advertising yet, and the show isn't making anybody rich, but the foursome intends to keep making improvements and doing new things.

Oskaloosa Herald
The Oskaloosa downtown was "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" Thursday night during the Main Street Lighted Christmas Parade.
Local residents lined the streets in downtown Oskaloosa as the parade marched by with veterans and marching bands in the vanguard that led the way for a variety of floats.
Oskaloosa Chamber Events Coordinator Karen Hafner was pleased with the weather and the turnout.
"It's a balmy night," Hafner said. "It's great weather."
The temperature was 48 degrees at parade time.
Hafner said there were 63 parade entries.
"It's a little more than last year," she said. "There were no cancellations."
Hafner said the parade entries were mostly local, but there were 12 vans of out-of-town onlookers who booked space around the city square.
"We're pleased with the turnout," she said.
A variety of parade spectators gave their thoughts as the parade marched by.
Jessica Bixler and Sophie Duke, both William Penn University students, manned the Greg Grubb Kettle Korn booth near the Mahaska County Courthouse.
Duke said they were "pretty busy" with customers as the parade began.
Bixler thought the weather brought more people out to watch the parade.
"I like it a lot better," she said of the weather.
Bixler said she and Duke look forward to seeing the parade entries and the "cool floats and lights." They also are looking forward to the Community Christmas Tree lighting on the Oskaloosa Square Friday night.
Bill Briney, of Oskaloosa, said the weather was "terrific."
"It's always been so cold when they have the parade," he said.
Briney said he looks forward to seeing the floats.
This is the first time Briney and his wife have ventured downtown to watch the parade because the weather has been too cold before.
Jan Feehan, of Green City, Mo., watched the parade with her sister, who lives in Oskaloosa.
Feehan said this was the first time she has seen the parade.
"It's really nice. I appreciate all the work they do," she said of the people's efforts to build the floats. "I hope it's a tradition that doesn't go away."
Feehan really liked the weather. She said her sister usually brings their mother downtown to watch the parade from their car.
"The weather was made to order," Feehan added.
Marcia Roozeboom and her daughter, Megan, manned a Salvation Army kettle on the Oskaloosa square.
She said the Salvation Army bell ringers stopped working at the start of the parade, so she got to enjoy the spectacle as it marched by.
"I like to look at all the different lights on the floats," she said.
Megan said she liked the bands.
This year, things will be different on the city square Friday night. Instead of a second marching of the Main Street Lighted Christmas Parade, there will be the inaugural lighting of the Community Christmas Tree in the city square from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The winners of different parade-related competitions will be announced and the parade floats will be on display. Then, the Christmas Tree will be lighted and there will be live entertainment and Christmas-related activities for all to enjoy.
More photos from the parade can be found at http://oskaloosa.com/local/x983013729/SLIDESHOW-Lighted-Holiday-Parade.

Create Your Own Linux Desktop and Take It with You
Most of us work with multiple Linux machines these days, and we are used to hopping between them. However, there are times when you want to separate your Linux desktop experience from your physical desktop PC. You would like a Linux desktop that lives on a USB key that you can move freely among PCs. To explain this better, let me describe two problems I've recently addressed with a small, portable Linux distro:
I don't always work from the same location. Carrying a portable laptop computer around is one way of having my Linux desktop wherever I need it, but another way is to have a small Linux desktop on my keyring. When I arrive at a new work location, I can plug the USB key in to any available PC, boot Linux quickly and continue working right where I left off. The live Linux on the key runs entirely in memory and uses the key for persistent storage. I don't need a lot of storage (most of my data lives in the cloud), but I do need to be able to use a unique set of application packages so I have the tools I need to do my work.
I have a Netbook that bit the dust a few months ago. The failure was in the hard disk, and this particular generation of Netbook uses a 1.6" hard disk. If you can find a replacement drive that size, the price is such that it's cheaper to purchase a new Netbook. I'd like to be able to run my Linux desktop even on this machine, which is otherwise a brick.
To address these problems, I needed a Linux distro with the following characteristics:
Small enough to fit on a USB key.
Bootable on a variety of machines (all PC architectures).
Ability to run in memory only, given target machines would all have 1GB or more.
Quick booting.
Application package compatibility with a major Linux distro.
So, why not just run a desktop distro from a USB stick? That, in fact, was my first solution, and most desktop distros make it really easy to create a live USB installation, including persistence to storage on the USB drive. For example, Ubuntu 10.10 (and every Ubuntu release since 9.04) comes with the usb-creator tool that creates a live USB installation for you given the related .iso file.
To create an Ubuntu 10.10 live USB installation, first download the .iso file for the desktop version from the Ubuntu Web site (www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download). After the download, plug in a USB stick (2GB or larger), and select System→Administration→Startup Disk Creator from the Ubuntu menu. Select the downloaded .iso and the target USB device—in the case shown here, it's /dev/sdb1. When you click Make Startup Disk, Ubuntu copies all the needed files to the stick and makes it bootable.
You'll get a confirmation box, and then you've got your portable Ubuntu. If that meets your needs, you're all set. You can boot it on another machine, install applications using sudo apt-get install, and do pretty much anything you would do on your desktop, limited only by the available storage on the USB stick.
But, you may have needs that go beyond what you get with a standard off-the-shelf desktop. Because this is Linux Journal, you almost certainly have custom needs and preferences, and fortunately, there are ways to create your very own portable desktop distribution.
Puppy Linux, in particular, is built with customization in mind. If you've never heard of it, you may want to take a look at Louis Iacona's article "Puppy Linux" in the April 2008 issue (www.linuxjournal.com/article/9932). You also should visit www.puppylinux.com. Barry Kauler created Puppy Linux in 2003, and he has continued to develop it and build a community of developers for it since then. Lately, Barry has focused more on customization capabilities for the platform, resulting in the Woof tool, which builds Puppy-like distributions.
Puppy Linux has many other desirable features, including:
Runs entirely from memory, so it's very fast.
Very small memory footprint (100–110MB).
Support for a wide variety of hardware devices.
Compatibility with packages from other distributions (including Ubuntu).
User interface that's intended to be approachable.
There also are some features that might not be desirable, depending on your application:
Runs entirely in memory, so all active programs have to fit.
User runs as root, so there's the potential to screw up.
Hardware device support not as complete as major distros.
Even with the tools that Puppy Linux provides, building your own distribution isn't for the novice. You need to be comfortable using the Linux command line, have a suitable build environment and a broadband Internet connection. Additionally the tools still are under development, so expect that things are not entirely complete (such as reports and so on), and that some combinations of configuration choices just may not work yet. The best news is there's a very active community of Puppy and Woof users you can reach for help at puppylinux.org.
Building your distribution proceeds in five stages, with each stage having a number of steps:
Create a Puppy Linux host system. The Woof tool works only when run under Puppy Linux, so the first thing you need to do is create a host system that runs PL.
Use your PL host to download the Woof tool.
Use the woof_gui tool to configure the files that Woof will use to build your distribution.
Build your distribution.
Install your distribution on a bootable USB key.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Keep in mind that I haven't been a college student in more than a decade...or two. The place has a pretty "grunge" feel to it: dark, chaotic, a bit cramped even though it wasn't packed.
We ordered at the second-floor bar which was reminiscent of a Chinese take-out counter except with beer paraphernalia replacing the Year-of-the-some-animal stuff and went for a place to drink. We went up to the top floor where the tabletop shuffleboard is. It wasn't the shuffleboard that made me feel old, the kids were playing it, but the couple in the one corner attempting to suck each others' face off. Try not to read that as derision, just a little surprise tinged with a shade of green.
Anyway, two mugs of beer for $4.50 is pretty damn good and the beer was actually quite good. I never thought to take review notes, but I liked the Brown Dog and my buddy thought highly of the White Dog, despite the fact that put a slice of orange in the beer.
We didn't eat there since we had just had some of the best burgers ever at the Abbey Burger Bistro just down the street.

Located in Fells Point. A friend and I stumbled across this interesting place. It is long narrow and is two stories high I believe. They've got a pretty good beer selection, albeit very heavily weighted toward fruit-laced wheat recipes. Not my favorite, but if you're trying to please the most people you've got to tread the middle of the road. I get it. I've had all of their current offerings and my favorites are the Imperial Dog (a slightly less than double IPA) and the Brown Dog (a sturdy American Style brown ale). They've also got a very good oatmeal stout that they cart out during the winter months. Much better than the stout on their year-round offering.
One of the biggest complaints I have about the beer selection from DOG is that it's too safe. They have 11 standard offerings including 4 fruited weizens, a blonde, amber, IPA, double-IPA, traditional stout, an English style session ale, and a witbier. Where are the lagers? This place is very popular for their pizza from what I gather. I haven't tried so. Perhaps next time.

Blink and you'll miss Pub Dog, just another storefront in a crowded shopping-and-dining area of Federal Hill right across the Cross Street Market. There are so many pubs and restaurants around here (the beer-friendly Abbey Burger Bistro is next door to the Dog), you may be hard-pressed to choose one.
But Pub Dog deserves a chance. It might not look like much from the outside, or even inside by the bar, but look around and you'll discover a really nice, cozy and expansive townhouse, with countless nooks and crannies and booths and fireplaces. When the weather is cold outside, what a great place to hang out and be warm the Dog is! I like the third-floor room, with a shuffleboard and no people. My own little hangout...
We sat right at the bar and service was excellent, although it was an early afternoon/evening and the place was empty. Still, very friendly chicks, some of them almost passably hot.
Beer? 12 taps, all house-brewed. They are all pretty amateurish. We had the "Imperial Dog", which is billed as "an aggressively hopped Double IPA" and it tasted like an American Pale Ale with some mild hops. This will give you an idea of how the Dog works his beers. Nothing to get excited about. But they're serviceable! Their seasonal oatmeal stout was actually *good*.
The funny/weird thing is that beer and water both come in twos. Two small mugs of beer for four bucks. Two mugs of water for... well, nothing.
Food is mostly pizza, of course. Very good pizza! I've had other pizzas around B'more and they are pretty poor. This one my wife and I really enjoyed. Fresh, crispy, thin-crust, loaded with quality ingredients... and good price too, all of them under ten dollars.
Six beers and a pizza came up to 21 bucks. Talk about cheap!
I would come back. For the atmosphere, the yummy pizza, the shuffleboard, the cozy fireplaces and booths, and also for the beer, why not...

Stopped in to Pub Dog for dinner and drinks because it's really close to my friend's house in Fed Hill.
It's a narrow but large multi-level space. We went upstairs, where there are a few booths. Dark atmosphere; little metallic/copper paws in the tables. Nice touch.
There were twelve beers on tap, many of which were fruit flavored. It's pretty clear that the focus here isn't on producing good beer. It's more of a neighborhood joint that people go to for cheap local beer. It fulfills that role well. $4 for two mugs of beer... and yes, you have to order two.
Their IPA was ok; their fruit flavored beers ranged from bad to palatable.
Service was good - our server carried 12 mini-mugs of beer at once, and was generally friendly.
The pizza was good. Not fantastic, but still delicious, and there is a wide variety. I tried the Thai and the Baja Chihuahua.
Overall this is probably more of a place for locals instead of those visiting from out of town, but if you happen to be in Fed Hill it's worth a stop.

I went to this place with some friends on a Friday for dinner. You are responsible for finding your own tables here, and it seemed like it could be chaotic later in the evenings. The beer selection was pretty standard, but they did offer a lot of mixing options. The beers didn't really stand out, but of the ones I had I enjoyed. I particularly enjoyed the idea of 2 beers for $4. The pizzas were fantastic, although a bit small and expensive. Once you get a table, the service is good, but it can take awhile before you see waitstaff again. Overall, the place was unique and made for a fun evening. Worth checking out.

I've never particularly liked going to this place as the beer is not very impressive. Although there are 11 different beers as well as another X number of mixed beer, there are only about 5 beers worth drinking. These five have never ever impressed me, even thought they all taste different every batch.
All the beers taste like watered down versions of what would have been pretty decent beer.
In any case, the pizza is delicious, but it is a little overpriced or perhaps not be enough.
The environment is good and the wait staff has always been quick and friendly.

Visited here a few months ago while on a trip up the east coast. Stopped in a couple hours before going to an orioles game and the place was a ghost town (might have to do with the fact we got there right as it opened).
It stayed that way for about an hour, but towards the end it started filling up. I love the atmosphere in the place, reminded me a lot of the neighborhood hole in the wall bars i grew up around in chicago.
Very dark, very cramped, with narrow downstairs seating area and a creaky staircase leading to an upper level seating area. The service was attentive enough without being overbearing. Food consisted of pretty much pizza and not much else, which was fine. Pizza was very enjoyable, toppings felt very fresh and reminded me a little bit of lilys back in raleigh.
The beer ended up being the weakest aspect of the place. They only had four beer on tap at the time, and while none of them were bad, none of them were particularly good. Still, they were all very drinkable and relatively cheap.
If I lived in the area, this would be a place i would frequent often, just for the food, atmosphere, and decent, cheap, beer. However, if you are trying to focus on beer-centric brew pubs and looking more to just do tastings, it probably wouldn't be worth the visit.

Thirteen years ago, we were a small group of friends offering support and friendship to a Detroit public elementary school. Now, thousands of volunteers have come together, empowering us to partner with schools in Detroit, Northville, Novi, Canton, Hamtramck, Pinckney, and various faith-based schools. You can support our mission to link city and suburb by becoming a volunteer, making a donation or simply spreading the word about our efforts.
Bridgepointe non-profit is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to educate, inspire and empower the children of Detroit and its surrounding suburbs through direct personal experiences and living relationships.
We are committed to encouraging the personal growth of teachers, students, and volunteers by connecting school children from the city and suburbs of Detroit. As members of these communities come together to achieve a common goal, we hope to unlock the potential of the children while opening the door to cultural understanding.
With the help of volunteers and partners, we organize a variety of social, educational, and life enhancing events each year while also providing life essentials to the metro Detroit community.
About Us
We started our journey in 1998. We were a small group of friends with a common belief that true change can best be accomplished by reaching out to our youth. We began with one elementary school in Detroit; last year 2,500 students from 10 Detroit and Hamtramck schools participated in Bridgepointe events. We now partner with 24 public and faith-based suburban schools. In addition, hundreds of adult volunteers contribute to our efforts.
The generous support of our local business and community partners, school partners, volunteers, and board help make our vision a reality–that children come first and education is paramount.
Bridgepointe is an ALL VOLUNTEER effort, where every dollar donated and gift contributed goes directly to where it is needed most.
Introducing El Sueño
El Sueño ("The Dream") Project is working to enrich the lives of the fourth graders who attend Academy of the Americas, an elementary school in Detroit. Together, we will provide these students and their families with tutoring, field trips, love, and support all the way through their graduation from high school, building invaluable relationships and learning from one another along the way.

Discover Eclipse's JFace Dialogs
The JFace framework of Eclipse provides many standard and useful dialogs and a framework to build custom dialogs and wizards. When the standard dialogs seems to be too simple for your plugin or RCP developement, one can extend the standard dialogs to suit their own needs. The aim of this article is to provide example oriented approach to dialogs and see in depth of all frequently used dialogs. I am hoping to have this article as the point of reference for many developers to get an overview of Dialogs.
Dialogs are modal UI components which would do some user interaction tasks. Traditionally Dialogs are used to enter a simple input, to select a choice from a list, to select multiple nodes from a tree, to inform about a success/failure from an operation, to input confirmations from the user, and so on.
Eclipse provides standard dialogs from two different frameworks, SWT provides very basic dialogs like FontDialog, ColorDialog, DirectoryDialog, FileDialog and FontDialog. These SWT dialogs are coming out of the SWT as they are very basic and has close connection to the OS. All these Dialogs are available from org.eclipse.swt.widgets package from the org.eclipse.swt.<platform>.jar.
JFace provides a variety of Dialogs for the implementors to extend or to use them directly. Its interesting to look into variety of dialogs provided by JFace and i would leave the usage to your imagination and context. Rest of this article is mostly code, screen shots and less of textual description. I tried to keep the short, sweet and simple.
This is a SWT Dialog but worth mentioning under the general concept of the Dialogs.
"Instances of this class allow the user to navigate the file system and select or enter a file name. Note: Only one of the styles SAVE and OPEN may be specified. IMPORTANT: This class is intended to be subclassed only within the SWT implementation."
FileDialog fsd = new FileDialog(shell);
fsd.setFilterExtensions(new String[] {"*.jpg"});
fsd.setText("Select My JPG Files...");

Well..., it appears that you also need the JAR org.eclipse.osgi_*.jar. Otherwise, it can't find the org.eclipse.osgi.util.NLS class (whatever that is). So I'm up to 7 external JAR files to use JFace. Mark
Later that day ... It works great! Six lines of code replaces 3 whole classes. Thanks!

I'm Irish????? English living in Wales actually but the same rules apply - we don't have the Running Room and there is no local running club near me for casual runners. Everything is geared towards race race race which puts me off as a beginner. As others have said - I'm setting my goals small to begin with and am not aiming to run the London Marathon next year.
Day after run one and my shins and calves are fine but feeling it in my quads despite stretching before and after, as well as a long hot soak in the bath. But that's to be expected when you use muscles differently. Second run tomorrow so will definitely be taking it a little easier and pacing myself better. Yesterday I covered 2 miles in 20 minutes of run/walk so I'm thinking I definitely went out too fast.
Great advice and motivation from all of you. Thank you so much.
