Will Harvey Benge be as productive in 2011 than in 2010 ? BIG question !
Here is his second Paris book - see the first one here. This one is also printed 75 copies (75 = Paris zip code).
Bois de Vincennes ?
Published 2006 by The Ice Plant, bought during Offprint in November
This book shows pictures of Jason Fulford's archive, there are 8 chapters.
Love Fulford's eye.
great spread
Looking at the pictures I was feeling some of them were taken in France, answer is at the end of the book, and yes ! I was right. A few of them in Paris, and one in Wimereux, for example. North of France, not the dream beach for most of the French people.
Published 2010 by Doubleplusgood, got this one during Offprint in November
I love Louis Porter's work. I admire his great eye, and the way he uses color, and humor.
2 years ago I have published his book, 100 Flowers, with Lozen up.
This book is about Australia, where Louis Porter lives.
Self-published 2011
This newspaper is Marianne van Loo's MA photography project.
Pictures are great, and it's a thought on the smoking ban influence on our environment.
Published 2007 by J&L books, bought during Offprint in November, 20€
This is funny how much this book reminds me of Florian van Roekel's How Terry likes his coffee. Well, I should say van Roekel's reminds me Mickey's actually. This is about aesthetics. Anyway.
These are portraits of Darin Mickey's father at home or at work. Very tiny details, personal moments are caught.
Published 2010 by Little More, bought during my last London trip, at Claire de Rouen (which is on Charing Cross, close to the 55 - my favorite London bus line).
Another bus stop story, but in Japan.
The bus stop is a good excuse to look at the landscape : country or city.
A dog waiting for a bus. Everything is normal.
Sometimes you wonder if buses really stop in these no mans lands.
A strawberry bus stop. Everything is normal.
Speaking of bus stops and my buses addiction, please check Chris Mottalini's book, The Mistake by the Lake. We've published it a few months ago.
Published 2007 by Loosestrife Editions, it took me a while to get this one, it's sold out, and I can't even remember where I finally found it.
and it's a signed copy !
I had seen the work at Le Bal, Anthony Hernandez was one of the artists shown during the 1st exhibition Anonymes.
This work is amazing. A map, red square to mark where the picture was taken,
turn the page to the spread,
and open to see the picture.
People waiting for the bus, or for the day to pass, and the fish to be caught… in LA (late 70's / early 80's).
People who know me know that I'm a bus addict, so most of the pictures I chose are bus stops.
It's also a different sight on the so photogenic, and so many times photographed city.
This book is very well done, and the pictures are big, so it's almost like if you see it during a show. Even better then because here you have the map and more views.
Published 2008, by Osiris, my Christmas present from Pierre.
Merci, mon chéri.
Published 2009 by Poursuite, bought at Le Bal in January
My very special dedication. Grigri is an "argot" word to say signature, and Grigri was Benoît Grimalt's nickname when he was kid. He didn't know this argot word and was very surprised when I asked him. Hum. What a coincidence !
The story of this book : how, when, why he started looking for traces of Syd Barrett.
Then a kind of photo journal, or a game.
I laughed
Published 2010 by Trace editions, I got this one during Offprint, my neighbour Stuart Woodman was selling those for his friends.
This book is a simple and nice idea to raise money for the Falmouth University. Photographers receipes. Here are some of them…
Rineke Dijkstra's Penne rigate alla pizzaiola
Richard Misrach's Spice-rubbed chicken. Well, actually it's not his, but his wife.
Martin Parr's guess what …. ? Beans on toast. That reminds me my first trip to England, 2 weeks in Scarborough when I was 12. Beans on toast, I'm with you, Martin.
Bill Owens' almost no stirring rissoto.
Bon Appetit. Green tea may be after all this ?
collected by Erik Kessels,
I bought this one at the KK Outlet during my last trip to London, published 2010 by Kessels Kramer, £20
Another collection of pictures. How many times did this family tried to photograph its black dog ? Black is a shape with no details in photography, remember that.
My dog when I was a kid was a brown cocker, its name was Moustique. BFF of my early years.
Self-published 2010, bought on Rop van Mierlo's website (36 euros)
It's holiday period here in Paris -well, for kids. Lucien is going to his grand parents, and then to the Alps. 3 weeks away from us…
Anyway, I have found this on the internet, and I love the drawings, they are so beautiful.
Please enjoy the wild animals.
Lucien's favorite, because : "il est plein de couleurs"
The book is very nicely done, and the choice of paper matches with this type of drawing. Really like it.
Published 2009 by KesselsKramer, bought at KK Outlet, in London, £13
Pierre thinks I already have this book. I don't think so. Well, if we already have it, this copy will be ready to be swapped soon.
I love this one. Another kind of collection by Kessels. Enjoy the details : the rainbow colors title, the paint effect on the letters, and the cover paper that reminds the graining of wood.
I love the idea to show something nobody sees, or doesn't pay attention to.
Published 2010 by 12th Press
Published 2010, by Match Co (Bookshop M), bought during Paris Photo at the Bookshop M booth
a little French poetry
a little Japanese poetry
All the pictures were taken on the same day (October 15, 2009), on the Blitvenica island (Croatia).
This book is 3rd one of a trilogy : Incarnation, and Stars and Stripes were the 2 other ones.
I love the format that has been chosen for these books (large : 300x315 mm), as always Japanese are really good at doing simple great things.
Published by Art Paper Editions, 2010. Got this one during Offprint.
Risograph, Risograph, we love you.
I'm afraid you can't see it, but I have number 001/100 ! ! !
Published 2010 by Photoworks, bought at Magma books, London, last week.
This book has been published in association with Brighton Photo Biennial 2010, where this work by Rinko Kawauchi was shown (commissioned by BPB).
I didn't bought the book when I was at the festival, because I didn't like the book that much, but since then I kept thinking about the work.
As you may remember, "When I was a kid I used to think that birds flying together were attending a wedding party" (see the Harvey Benge's book Birds here). So I'm very sensitive to pictures of birds flying together. May be Rinko had the same believing when she was younger, and we share that. I'm sure she has seen the magic and fairytale in birds flying anyway.
Magic and poetic.
Second part of book : pictures in the city of Brighton, add them Rinko's poetry and some soap bubbles.
Published 2003 by Osiris, another book brought by Santa Claus. This one has been on Pierre's wish list for a long time, every time we went to Le Bal books, he looked at this book.
This work is so different from "For a Language to come", but at the same time there is a common feeling.
I know he likes it not only for the pictures but also for the design of the book.
Amazing to know that Kakahira had amnesia faces before and after this work…

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The markets are asking a lot from companies this earnings season, sometimes too much, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Thursday. That's why so few companies are able to run through the gauntlet and emerge unscathed.
Companies need to pass a number of hurdles if they want to see their stocks head higher. The first is Europe. If a company has any exposure to Europe or is seeing any weakness or is seeing its outlook diminished by the troubled continent, then its stock will be crushed, he said. In fact, this hurdle is the one responsible for much of the damage the markets have been seeing.Then there's the U.S. election and looming fiscal cliff hurdle, explained Cramer. Even the upside surprise from Boeing (BA) was not enough to keep its stock higher, as worries over defense spending brought in the profit-takers. If companies can navigate those two hurdles, they must still make it past the China hurdle, said Cramer. That hurdle has been taking down the stocks of the industrials, the materials and stocks such as Cummins (CMI) that need a strong China to grow. But even if a company survives, it must still meet the deadliest of hurdles: expectations. Cramer said the stellar beat and raise from Tractor Supply (TSCO) wasn't enough to save its stock, as expectations were for an even bigger beat with a bigger raise. The same was true with Sherwin-Williams (SHW) -- its earnings weren't enough to keep its stock up 60% for the year, which is why it fell by 7% today. Even the mighty Amazon.com (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL), a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust,
Executive DecisionIn the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with John Faraci, chairman and CEO of International Paper (IP), a company that took control of its own destiny by acquiring Temple-Inland, making International Paper more profitable and less cyclical.

Clinical Research
Procera AVH® memory » The Clinically Studied Brain Supplement
Procera AVH™ is a unique, doctor developed, patent pending, proprietary formula of natural ingredients - clinically shown by one of the world's premier brain research centers to help memory and mood.
What's more, in over 50 years of combined research and use, each of the three natural ingredients in Procera AVH® memory have been clinically shown to be safe and effective in enhancing a broad spectrum of cognitive functions including memory and mood.
First in Brain Nutrition
Procera AVH® was tested at the prestigious Brain Sciences Institute in Australia, considered one of the leading clinical trial sites in the world for testing both natural and pharmaceutical products for improving cognitive performance.
The Procera AVH clinical trial utilized the FDA criteria for drug trials – a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled protocol with a significant number of participants. The Procera AVH trial used a comprehensive battery of standardized, FDA approved computerized neuro-psychological test "instruments" that assess a broad spectrum of mood, mind, and memory functions.
To review the landmark ProceraAVH® Study click here
Study Center – World Renown Brain Sciences Institute
The Procera AVH study was conducted by world renown cognitive researcher, Dr. Con Stough at the Brain Sciences Institute, Swinburne University, Melbourne, Australia.
The Brain Sciences Institute was chosen for two reasons:
1. It is one of the leading neuro-cognitive research labs in the world with a comprehensive array of neuro-psych tests, such as the FDA approved CDR tests of cognitive function used in over 500 pharmaceutical drug trials and cited in over 1000 published papers.
2. The Principal investigator for the Procera AVH study was Dr. Con Stough. Dr. Stough is one of the world's most frequently published and leading authorities on IQ and intelligence, cognition and memory, and cognitive enhancing drugs and nutraceuticals.
Buyer Be-Aware
When considering brain supplements here are several key factors you should be aware of:
- Was the clinical study conducted on the product, per se, or does the marketer of the product merely cite clinical studies on the ingredients in their product?
- If so, does the product actually incorporate at least the minimal dosage level that a consensus of qualified clinical studies proved efficacious?
NOTE: many products on the market list dozens of ingredients on their label, which suggests that few if any are at clinically validated dosage levels.
- Did the study test a significant sample size (e.g. 75-100 subjects) and employ FDA guidelines of a randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled trial?
- Did the study use clinically acceptable instruments for the objective measurement of a broad range of cognitive, as well as mood functions?
- Was the study protocol approved by an independent review board (e.g., Institutional Review Board – IRB), and was it conducted by an internationally recognized research University or Clinical Research Organization (CRO)?
- Finally, was the study conducted in healthy, cognitively normal individuals representing a broad age group of male and females, or did it address a group of cognitively impaired individuals?
Procera AVH® memory can claim to have satisfied all of the above criteria while showing positive effects on improving memory and concentration, mental clarity and mood.
University Study Yields "Evidence of Efficacy"
Procera AVH® memory is one of the few, if not only brain nutritional supplements on the market today that:
- Was tested for safety and efficacy by a major university cognitive research group, using a FDA-type clinical trial with a significant number (~75) of cognitively healthy people of a broad age range (20-66)
- Procera users demonstrated a broad range cognitive and mood improvements - in just 30 days.
- Study results published in a peer reviewed medical journal JANA (Jnl American Nutraceutical Ass.)
What's more, most, if not all other purported "brain boosting" supplements on the market fail to use minimally "proven effective" ingredient levels. Most put just a "little bit of everything" in their formula to window dress their label in hopes of impressing the uninformed public. Don't be fooled!
And few, if any "cognitive supplements" or "mood enhancers" have been validated in a highly qualified university study with normal, healthy people across a broad age group. Procera AVH®, a "dual action memory and mood support enhancer", has helped satisfied all the important criteria.
Medical Journal Writes Up Procera AVH®
Procera AVH's clinical study results were so impressive that the study was published in the peer-reviewed medical journal, JANA (Journal of American Nutraceutical Association).
The Journal stated:
"The combination nutraceutical formula consisting of Huperzine A, Vinpocetine and Acetyl-L-Carnitine was examined in a 30-day double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial assessing a range of cognitive and mood variables. Seventy-four healthy participants, 43 in the combination nutraceutical formula group and 31 in the placebo group, with a mean age of 48 years, completed the study. Statistically significant improvements in several variables relative to placebo could be attributed to the 30 days administration of the combination nutraceutical formula, including working memory accuracy (p < .03), long term memory consolidation (p < .02) and mood (p < .02), suggesting an improvement in complex cognitive processes. The cognitive processes assess both the initial stages of holding information in conscious awareness as well as the encoding and retrieval of recently learned material. The mood measures assessed levels of anger and depression. Interestingly, improvements in speed of memory retrieval suggest functioning equivalent to age cohorts of approximately 10 or more years younger. ….. There were also no side effects or adverse reactions reported by the participants."

Reduces withdrawal symptoms, including nicotine craving, associated with quitting smoking. Use it 16 hours or 24 hours - you decide! If you smoke: more than 10 cigarettes per day: start with Step 1. 10 or less cigarettes per day: start with Step 2. Includes: 14 patches, Committed Quitters Program enrollment form, user's guide, CD and child resistant disposal tray. What is the NicoDerm CQ Patch and how is it used? NicoDerm CQ is a small, nicotine-containing patch. When you put on a NicoDerm CQ patch, nicotine passes through the skin and into your body. NicoDerm CQ is very thin and uses special material to control how fast nicotine passes through the skin. Unlike the sudden jolts of nicotine delivered by cigarettes, the amount of nicotine you receive remains relatively smooth throughout the 24 or 16 hour period you wear the NicoDerm CQ patch. This helps to reduce cravings you may have for nicotine.
Active Ingredients: Per Patch: Nicotine 21 mg Delivered Over 24 Hours
Inactive Ingredients: Ethylene Vinyl Acetate-Copolymer; Polyisobutylene; High Density Polyethylene Between Clear Polyester Backings

Can it really be time to head back to the classroom? Didn't summer just begin?
Although fall is my favorite time of year, it's hard to watch the commercials on TV about getting your pencils, paper, markers and glue sticks ready for the coming school year. It's been a fun summer filled with lots of swimming, picnics and grilling, along with late bedtimes and plenty of ice cream. I suppose it's time for the routine of the school year.
Back to school also means back to start making lunches.
Can it be? The Minnesota State Fair underway, school bus information in the mail, the evenings getting cooler and shorter...I'm not ready for summer to be over yet!
As my oldest starts kindergarten next month, I'm starting to be on the look-out for fresh and easy lunch ideas to pack for her. I suppose I can't just pack PB & J every day. She's my picky eater so I've got to be creative!

At Care of Creation we were recently contacted by a Christian University in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A group of students there was looking to publish a jointly-written report on environment and climate change as they experience it. The following article, written by students from Université Chrétienne Bilingue du Congo/Christian Bilingual University of Congo (UCBC), highlights some recent creation care activities in the surrounding communities. DRC is a nation wearied by war, severe poverty, governmental ineptitude, and endemic corruption. It is in this context that the activities described in the report reveal something of the character of UCBC–an institution whose vision is to "raise up indigenous, Christian leaders to transform their communities and the nation of DRC." Read, ponder – and pray. And let us know if you would like to help in some way. (This article is cross-posted on the main Care of Creation website. The authors are Adeito Masika Tahirana, Annie Mboligihe, Baraka Kambale Alex, Nadine Kavira Vitya, and Patrick Masomeko Mikajo.)
In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the majority of the population is rural and lives dependent on the forest and subsistence farming. DRC's Congo Basin rainforest is sometimes referred to as the "second lung of the earth" because of its size, second only to the Amazon basin. However, through the growing lumber industry, people who live in this vast rainforest area often seek to supplement their livelihood by clearing forest trees to sell timber and produce charcoal for cooking. As the population grows rapidly, this activity has direct impacts on climate and the health of the land as the rainforest shrinks to make way for farmland and the lumber industry.

I used it to mash a ripe pear and the pear went up over the sides. Even after mashing for a while there were still bits that I had to mash by fork afterwards. Complete waste of time. Using a fork is just as easy.

Worthwhile Baby Gadget
After 3 children and a house full of 'stuff' I'm quite sceptical about gadgets but I bought this to take on holiday last week and its excelent. Essentially it produces 'fork mashed' food - except it does it better than a fork. The bowl has really high sides so food can escape, a couple of smushes and the job is done - the inside of the bowl is textured so the food is mashed from both sides. Now that we're home, I am just using a spoon against the textured edge to mush the food and my baby is using the masher as a teether!

Easy Food Masher
This was a great item to have on hand if I wanted my daughter to try something, but needed it in small bites first. I have mashed avacado, banana, fish fingers and more to make them easier for her to eat.

This Weekend, Check Out the Coolest Golf Tournament Ever in Tahoe
The biggest, most raucous party of the weekend will be found just off the 17th hole of Edgewood Golf Course on the southern shore of Lake Tahoe.
That's where hundreds of party-goers will sail, row, power-boat, kayak or paddle-board to witness the goings on in the annual American Century Championship golf tournament, which takes place July 20-22. And everyone is invited to the revelry.
For the past 23 years, they've bobbed in the water or stood ankle-deep at the lake's edge hootin' and hollerin' as a parade of "celebrities" – actors and professional athletes, mostly – tried to master the 155-yard, par-3 17th. The rambunctious crowd, which is hardly the kind of gallery you'd find at any professional golf tournament, has been known to toss baseballs, footballs, basketballs and the occasional hockey puck to the players as they trudge from tee to green.
And most often, the besieged players – who this year include Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo, Bode Miller, Brandi Chastain and Ray Romano in the 78-golfer field – will lob said objects, often inscribed with their names, back at the fans.
"It's like no other golf tournament in the world," said Phil Weidinger, who's been the tournament media director since 1992. "The interaction with the players is pretty wild and wide-open. And by the time they reach the 17th hole, the players are usually ready for some noise, for some music, for anything. ... That pretty much sums up the tournament."
Because Lake Tahoe is open to the public and is not part of the golf course, it doesn't cost a dime to be member of the 17th-hole armada. All you need are a means of water transportation and a willingness to party.

CNET On Cars
CNET editors round up their favorite tablets, including products from Apple, Samsung, and Google.
While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LTE -- particularly if you've ever lost a gadget through water damage.
This latest effort from Sony, unveiled at IFA, is an 8-inch tablet that lets you play PS4 games in the bath.
Pricing not available
Though awash in features, the Xperia Tablet Z's $500 price is a decidedly bitter pill to swallow when a better, cheaper alternative exists for $100 less.
The Acer Iconia A1-830 is a sleek and simple tablet for basic use, but you need only spend $50 more to upgrade to a slate with faster performance and better features.
Don't call this a phone -- despite its phone-like shape and voice-calling capabilities, the Panasonic insists that it's a slate.
Pricing not available
Join us as we take a look at the fully ruggedised slate from Panasonic that the company says is not a smartphone at all.
Pricing not available
The Huawei MediaPad M1 is an 8-inch slate that boasts 4G LTE connectivity and can make calls and send SMS text messages
Pricing not available
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
The 10-incher is another moderate Windows 8.1 release in HP's latest lineup of slates.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.

Sunday, October 28th I'm finishing up my Census Tract walk, heading down to the last tract I have left in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn. From there, I'll be heading to Coney to catch a ride on the Cyclone on it's last day of the season. If you want to drop by, meet me at 4:45 at the Sheepshead Bay stop on the Q. In the future, if you need to get your walking-around-town fix, I suggest you check out Matt Green's imjustwalkin.com - he's walking every street in the five boroughs.
Pretty soon, I'm also going to be transitioning out of both this site and the travel blog to mosesgates.com I'll import most of my stories and such, and will be good for continuing to write about demographics and going interesting places around town (probably more than I've been doing lately). But the site should be a little smoother and more professional.
A final note - to be fair, Big Pun should be singing 99.95% - Because out of the 2217 census tracts, I actually still haven't gotten to one of them - Bronx Census Tract number 1. But that's the only one I've actively been trying to miss. Riker's Island.

"Diversity" cont.
Following up on the diversity index post from last week, more on the WNYC story about tract 754 in Midwood being the "least diverse neighborhood in the city."
One problem with this contention is that a single census tract is almost never a "neighborhood." Now, there are some cases where you can make the argument that a neighborhood falls within a single census tract: Co-op City, Broad Channel, Breezy Point, and City Island come to mind, for instance. But tract 754 is definitely not a "neighborhood." In fact, the article references several things outside the tract to try and demonstrate the character of the neighborhood, such as the synagogues within walking distance, and the kosher bagel shops and travel agencies advertising trips to Israel on the commercial strip about 5 blocks away. So let's analyze the larger neighborhood picture to see if it's really the "least diverse neighborhood in the city."
View Midwood in a larger map
In red, above, is Brooklyn Census Tract 754, which has a diversity index of 1. In blue is tract 754, plus every tract that borders it (748, 750, 752, 756, 758, 760). This isn't meant to be the borders of "Midwood," it's just meant to give an example of a reasonable geographical area that could be called a "neighborhood" which centers on tract 754. This lets us see how diverse tract 754's "neighborhood" is.
Running the diversity index on the larger area, it ends up at 27*. And if you include an additional two tracts to the west, which encompass the commercial strip WNYC article describes in the article, it ends up even higher at 32.
Now, 27 is still not very high, especially for New York City, whose diversity index as a whole is 78.5, or for Brooklyn, which scores a 74, or even for New York State, which scores a 62**. But it is still far from extreme. For instance, it's a score as high or higher than 8 states (New Hampshire, Vermont, Montana, North Dakota, Iowa, West Virginia, Kentucky, and tied with Wyoming). It's also a higher score than several other places in New York that are considered "neighborhoods," like Howard Beach (23), Gerritsen Beach (21), Broad Channel (19), Manhattan Beach (10), and Breezy Point (7).
For those curious, these are all predominantly white neighborhoods. There are also predominantly African-American neighborhoods, all in Central Brooklyn and Southeast Queens, that I can assume would also score lower than the "Midwood" area I aggregated (there are no predominantly Hispanic or Asian neighborhoods that even come close to Midwood's score, although there is one tract in Chinatown that scores a 24). But what you would call a "neighborhood" in those areas is made up of many more census tracts than the neighborhoods referenced above, which are made up of 3 tracts at most and are generally just one or two, and more than I can do a quick and accurate back-of-the-envelope calculation with. For instance, a reasonable definition of "St. Albans," would be about 15 separate tracts, and for "East Flatbush" would be about 30. For what it's worth, I'm almost certain St. Albans, Cambria Heights, Laurelton, and East Flatbush would all score lower than 27.
There are also some other predominantly white neighborhoods made up of several census tracts, like Borough Park, which would score lower than 27. And in addition, there are several areas - both predominantly white and predominantly African-American - of at least seven census tracts (the same amount as the "Midwood," area I aggregated), but which only make up part of a neighborhood, where this is true as well.
The real point to this exercise is to demonstrate that much of the conversation around the neighbohoods of New York City is heavily dependent on the details of the geography you use. There is no real objectively "correct" geography when it comes to "neighborhoods" in New York, but it's important not to be loose with the term either. The WNYC article reads as claiming that Midwood is the least diverse neighborhood in New York (which is demonstrably untrue), and you have to really examine the article with much closer attention than I believe it is fair to expect a lay reader to do in order to realize that this might not be the case.
Neighborhoods: Midwood
Tracts: B748, B750, B752, B754, B756, B758, B760
*I should note that I calculate the diversity index slightly differently from the most commonly used calculation, which is USA Today's. Specifically, I include "other race" in the base calculation. In the neighborhoods I analyzed, this doesn't have an effect of more than a point or two difference at most.
** I should also note comparing the diversity index across different sized geographies is not really a good comparison. Especially at very small geographies, it breaks down. For instance, the vast majority of houses in America have a diversity index of 0, as everyone in the household is usually of the same race. An area's diversity index should really be compared across other similar sized geographies, in this case about 18,000 people.

WNYC has a really interesting interactive map which measures the diversity of each New York City Census Tract.
It's worth noting that the definition of "diversity" is based on the Diversity Index. This is the probability that two people chosen at random will be of a different race and ethnicity (by "ethnicity" I mean the census definition, which is either Hispanic or non-Hispanic). It's a good and simple measurement for racial diversity, and mathematically allows for diversity to increase based on two factors - both a higher percentage of people of minority groups, as well as the amount of minority groups themselves. For instance, a tract that's 75% Black and 25% Asian would have a diversity index of 38.5, while one that's 50% Black and 50% Asian would have a diversity index of 50. However, one that is 50% Black, 25% Asian, and 25% Pacific Islander would have a diversity index of 62.5.
But this index is one that is not really designed for the type of diversity we're used to here in New York, where we think of language, religion, ethnicity (in the non-census sense of the word), being foreign-born, and several other factors as contributing to "diversity," as well as race.
For instance, take the tract in Midwood (Brooklyn Tract 754) a mainly Orthodox Jewish neighborhood that they report on as "the most homogeneous in NYC." While the tract is 100% white and only .3% Hispanic, if you dig a little deeper the numbers tell a different story. According to the 5-year ACS data, 7.7% of the residents are of Arabic ancestry (who are classified as "white" by the census), 15% of residents are foreign-born, and almost 20% of residents speak a language other than English at home*. Not huge indicators of diversity by NYC standards, but a ways away from deserving the label "homogeneous."
As for the Jewishness of the neighborhood, this is tougher to quantify, but there are clues in the Ancestry category. The census does not count religion, and will not enumerate any answer in the Ancestry category that they consider a religious answer, instead putting them in the "other group" category. This includes "Jewish," as well an any and all derivatives (even ones considered more ethnic than religious, like "Askenazic"). A little over half of the First Ancestry category is enumerated as "other groups."
Unfortunately, this doesn't really tell us a whole lot, as a little over half of New York City overall falls into the "other group" category and New York City is only estimated at about 10% Jewish. However, to complicate things even more, a large percentage (probably close to half) of these are answers are various Hispanic ancestries, which the census tabulates as Ethnicity and not Ancestry. And since our tract as a whole is only .3% Hispanic, we can pretty safely assume a good amount of the "other group" is Jewish. In addition, about a quarter of the responses are various Eastern European ancestries that are likely to have been put down by Jewish respondents. Taking this data, and factoring in some observation from a quick stroll through the neighborhood, I think it's safe to assume the neighborhood is at least half Jewish.
But, there's one more clue. About 20% of the First Ancestry answers are ones very unlikely to be put down by Jewish respondents. These are English, Irish, American, and Lebanese. (There is also Syrian and Iranian ancestry reported, but Southern Brooklyn has communities of Syrian and Iranian Jews). This lets us peg the Census Tract as one that's at most 80% Jewish, giving us a (very rough and unscientific) estimate of about 50-80% Jewish overall. There's really no way of knowing beyond this rough and unscientific guess how Jewish the tract actually is, (much less how Orthodox Jewish), but I think we know enough to say "homogenously," would not be a fair adjective to use.In fact, rather than portraying the eight blocks of Midwood as some kind of insular shtetl, a far better angle for the story would have been "even at its most homogenous, NYC is amazingly diverse."
Neighborhoods: Midwood
Tracts Walked: B754
*It should be noted that the margins of error for these questions on the Census Tract level are enormous, due to the replacement of the Census Long Form with the American Community Survey. But you work with the datasets you have.

Hart Island
Hart Island is not its own census tract - instead being included in Bronx Tract 516 along with City Island. This is probably why I never felt the kind of sense of purpose in getting there that I've felt with some islands with no land access - like the Brother Islands or some Jamaica Bay Islands - that make up the entirety of their census tracts. If I had felt that, I'm sure I would have done what others have done - take a boat or canoe out very early Sunday morning, when the island is inactive. For those who don't know, Hart Island is the city's Potters Field, and the largest taxpayer-funded cemetery in the world. Inmates from Riker's Island do the work, and as a result the island is fairly well patrolled when it's active.
Instead I went a different way, on a bimonthly memorial trip with Picture the Homeless, an advocacy group. The visit was brief, and very moving. A memorial pagoda has been constructed a short ways away from where the ferry docks on the island, and the trip consisted of a short walk there, a remembrance of the people buried on the island among the group, and a slightly longer walk back. Altogether there was an amazing sense of peace to the island, a sense I would have been bereft of if I had chosen to go a more clandestine route.
There is no reason why there cannot be more public access to the island. In the 1990s extensive tours of the island were offered. I chatted a bit with two corrections officers in charge of the island about why the visits were now so infrequent and restricted, with no pictures or journalists allowed.
Now, these are the guys who run the jails. As such I suspected "security" - probably having to do with the fact that prisoners work on the island burying the dead - to simply be the knee-jerk response. But instead I got something different - that the island was for the families of the deceased, that they didn't want to offend anyone by allowing just anyone access to the place. "That's not what this place is about" was one response I got when I asked why people couldn't visit.
I accepted that they personally believed this, although on an institutional level it made no sense. Discounting the fact that families have to go through an extremely onerous process to even visit, no other city has this issue - we are the only municipality without open access to our public cemetery. After all, cemeteries are by and large public spaces. I have never in my life heard anyone complain that a stranger was walking through a cemetery where their loved one happened to be buried. And it shouldn't matter anyway - what the officers didn't understand was that this shouldn't be their decision to make. Often time civil servants feel a sense of ownership of the public works they're sent to steward, forgetting the "public" part of the "public works."
Luckily, there's been a little bit of interest in more open access, with the City Council looking at switching the jurisdiction to the Parks Department from the Department of Corrections, and otherwise trying to make the island more accessible. It would be a wonderful public benefit to combine the best of the two ways people visit now: the freedom of going without supervision, along with the calm of going legitimately. In their testimony before City Council the Corrections Department was reduced to citing "lack of bathrooms and water fountains" as a reason visitation isn't allowed. That this island isn't available for visitation yet is simply a testimony to the culture of providing public accessibility here in New York - that it's simply not worth the hassle. In a normal paradigm, public ownership, demand, and the lack of any rational reason to deny access would lead to an open area. But in New York we're always struggling against the "just easier to keep it closed" mentality.

Dyker Heights Lights
This was originally posted three years ago, but I've had a couple of requests for it again. I haven't been to Dyker Heights yet this season, but the houses that have the huge displays stay pretty consistent year-to-year. As such, I imagine this map is still pretty accurate. I'll update it if I notice anything different next time I'm there.
You don't have to go to Dyker Heights to see crazy Christmas displays – pretty much any neighborhood with the magic combination of detached houses and Italians will do the trick. Houses at Westervelt and Pelham Parkway in the Bronx, Beach 144th and Neponsit in the Rockaways, East 93rd street and Flatlands in Canarsie, and 81st street at Colonial in Bay Ridge all easily rival the big displays of Dyker Heights.
But Dyker Heights has quantity along with quality. I've included a handy-dandy map of the highlights below. The map is for the heart of the area - surrounded by 15th Avenue, 86th street, the Gowanus Expressway, and 79th street - but you'll find lights well beyond these borders.
Now, keep in mind that pretty much every block in this area has at least one house that would take the cake on whatever street you live on. With that being said, red blocks are streets that are especially worth a stroll down, while blue blocks are can't-miss. Green points mark exceptional displays, and bathrooms (Nathan's and Bklyn Pizza) are indicated by the familiar symbol. The area's about equidistant from the R at 77th street or 86th street on the west, or the D at 79th street or 18th Avenue on the east.
View Larger Map
As you walk around, the displays start to seem a bit repetitive. You notice the same sparkling reindeers, inflated ferris wheels, and Christmas Countdown clocks. For the really big boys (and some of the smaller guys) I'm pretty sure the lights remain a labor of love, but for others the yard signs proclaiming designs by B&R Decorators and V&J Lighting show that the Dyker Heights lights are mostly about the social pressure of keeping up with the customs of the neighborhood.
No, no pictures – go see them for yourself. If you can't take the schlep, check out Gothamist or Flickr.

A friend who I haven't seen recently called a few nights ago and before I knew it, I had invited her and her husband over for dinner. Dinner … the very next night. At 34, I am just beginning to realize that I don't ever give myself enough time to prepare for anything – I tend to say to myself, "How hard can it be?" and not until I am fully enthralled in whatever it is that I had convinced myself was not so hard, I realize that indeed, it is. Maybe not "hard" per say, but time consuming. Yes, that's a better way to look at it.
The next day, I was standing in the entrance of the store, contemplating what I could make that would be quick yet somewhat dazzling enough to serve for our guests. One thing you should know about me is that I admittantly tend to "over do it" from time to time. An impromptu dinner at my house still includes using the good china, the silver and the meal, of course, should be spectacular. No matter what. Spectacular. OK, now that we have that out of the way, back to the story at hand. So, I'm in the grocery store and I needed a starting point...the only thing I had determined was that we would have a salad at some point. So, I headed to produce. Yes, a good place to start. As I walked through the produce section I noticed a little shelf that I often don't pay much attention to. On this shelf were packages of wonton wrappers. Now these little gems I haven't thought of in years but something I had learned from a chef suddenly flashed back…Yes! I knew what I was going to do! I was going to make wonton crisps. How I was going to use the crisps, I hadn't yet determined. I just knew they were quick, tasty and versatile – surely, I'd figure something out! So, I picked up a package and continued on with my shopping and dare I admit, "on the fly" menu planning. At this point you're wondering – how could little wonton wrappers have made her so excited? What could she possibly do with wonton wrappers? Well, I'm going to tell you…here we go…prepare to be amazed at its simple brilliance. I laid individual wonton wrappers flat on my Silpat lined baking sheet, brushed them lightly with olive oil, sprinkled with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper and baked them in a 325 degree oven until they turned golden brown, which doesn't take long. Yup, that's it. That's all there is to it. You're now wondering what I did with them, what makes them so spectacular? Well, for that particular meal I tossed out the leafy green salad idea (actually, once I became distracted by the wonton wrappers I moved on from the produce department and quite honestly, completely forgot about a salad.) I placed a small mound of seafood salad I picked up in the deli on a small plate, garnished with what I had on hand…a few sliced grape tomatoes, a sprig of flat leaf parsley, some shaved parmeasan, and stuck a few wonton crisps in the top of the salad (I like to think that this created a little height and drama to the overall presentation!) then served them to our guests as a starter course. Give them a try and let me know how you use them! Oh, for those who are wondering…in addition to the seafood salad with wonton crisps, we had a surprisingly simple dinner of steak au poire, individual potato gratins and green beans tossed with olive oil and a splash of lemon juice. And one Killer Brownie fed all four of us…cut into four pieces that is, topped with a little ice cream and hot fudge.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced a new initiative where mentally ill people who get arrested are channeled into treatment instead of jail, if they don't need to be there.
Bloomberg says the effort will begin next year and set out to work with 3,000 people annually.
The program will use expert teams to assess the defendants' mental health needs. The teams will make recommendations to judges about what psychological services and supervision are needed.
Officials say the mentally ill often can't post bail and generally end up in jail twice as long as other inmates facing similar charges.

Premier Post - SCARPA SKOOKUM THERMO BRAND-NEW size 280
cralpito - on 18 Feb 2013
Scarpa Skookum Thermo. Brand-new in the box with all labels and bits (2 pairs of tongues, 2 pair of inner soles, key/spanner & all labels). I will include the receipt for Ł480 in case needed for Scarpa warranties.
SELLING FOR Ł400 ono.
Wrong size for me.
Collection from Aviemore area or I can arrange post for about Ł20-25.
The Skookum is a perfect combination of technology and innovation. Perfect for the new breed of freeride-inclined ski tourers. Extraordinary walking qualities and lightness for a minimum energy expenditure. The bi-injected cuff improves lightness and sensitivity and matches perfectly with the anatomy of the foot, creating a perfect fit for the most sensitive feeling and the best power transmission to the ski. Four ergonomic aluminium buckles, a booster strap and interchangeable tongues guarantee more responsiveness downhill in any conditions. The Scarpa® Active sole, in two different rubber compounds and different tread designs give the maximum grip on any terrain. The sole also has inserts compatible with Dynafit style TLT bindings. Alpine touring meets King Kong, charge without question, climb without complaint.

BURLINGTON, MI (WTVB) - Deputies and animal control officials say they have seized 29 dogs from filthy conditions inside a mobile home on 11-mile Road in Burlington Township. They say the elderly woman who was operating a dog breeding operation may face animal cruelty charges. The dogs were flea ridden and many of them had ear mites and worms.
Officials say they raided the same woman's home in 2006, seizing 40 dogs that time. Animal control is cleaning, grooming and treating the small dogs and hope to have them available for adoption later this month.

People from all over the country and even the world come to Chicago for the festival, but since that requires some big spending, some choose to crash with friends.
SEE: Music lineup, street closures, security measures for Lollapalooza 2013
"I have an apartment here now, so people from Peoria are coming here are going to come stay with me and go," Lollapalooza fan Gina Pham says.
"We booked a hotel, but we decided to not stay in there because we already had a free house," festival-goer Jordan Filipowich says. "We're college students."
One couple from Toronto tried something other Lolla goers are looking to: free housing with strangers.
"They allow you to stay at their house, they have a profile describing themselves, things that they like to do etcetera," one couchsurfer explains. "And people leave references after they've met with them and interacted with them so you get a good idea whether you want to actually stay with this person."
On the website CouchSurfing.org, you can submit a couch request to someone who is offering up their place.
Couch surfers say it isn't 'just' about saving money.
"You actually get to meet these people and get to know them, like in this case in Chicago, we went to Berlin Bar last night which isn't anything I would have found on my own. So you get to know the good parts of the city outside of the tourist books," he continues.
Other websites, like Airbnb, link you up with homes and apartments to rent for a couple of nights. They're options concert-goers look to, to save money and see Chicago differently.

Working on e-commerce for SS 2.4
28 May 2010 at 3:36pm Last edited: 2 June 2010 3:13pm
Hi guys, to let you know I'm currently working on getting the 0.6 beta version of the e-commerce module to work on SilverStripe 2.4. I'll call this the unofficial 0.6.1 beta. Nobody appears to be doing any kind of new release of the module, so I'm going to share what I'm working on.
Here is a list of changes so far:
- * Modified code to work with SS 2.4, and payment trunk as @ revision 103257. This mainly involved supporting the Money class.
- * Separated out unnecessary css styling. The default style is very much tied to black candy. (This can be put into a theme)
- * Improved efficiency of ProductGroup to make one database call to retrieve products. All ProductGroup children are retrieved by default, rather than just the immediate children.
- * Removed 'ShowInMenus' condition for displaying group products.
- * Added sorting controls to ProductGroup pages
- * Added pagination to default ProductGroup template
- * Removed separation of featured and non-featured products. The default sort is set to show featured products, then the rest by title (similar to TradeMe.co.nz)
- * Tidied up invoice printing
- * Got the 'all orders' SS report working again
- * Added 'Store' model admin for orders
- * Show products in multiple categories (does not yet include recursive sub-category products)
- * Variations of the same product can now be added to the cart together
- * Prevented order payment form showing on checkout template if nothing is in shopping cart.
- * Re-ordered CMS fields so they are more visible (eg price, weight, model)
- * Updated sitetree icons (product = package, checkout = shopping cart, account = contact card)
- * Include shopping cart page type
- * Removed quantity selectors from products on group page, as they can be updated using the cart on the left.
Once I'm happy with it myself, I'll post the code on here for people to test. I'll be prepared to integrate any patches people provide.
Perhaps Nicolaas and jam13 can allow the current 0.5.4 version in the extensions area to be updated after testing.
Feel free to express your interest in the release, and thoughts on the changes.

It's great to hear that someone's still working on the e-commerce module. The changes that you've made so far sound good. Are you committing your changes to the Silverstripe code repository?
I have some suggestions on future improvements, but it would probably be best if you just get the module working reliably first. Regardless, some of the things that I'd like to see are, e.g.:
- Change it so that products are DataObjects instead of pages and provide a matching product database editor for the CMS. This should make maintaining large numbers of products easier.
- Better logging of all actions (e.g., have a viewable log of the status changes of all orders)
- More advanced reporting (e.g., sales statistics by customer, product, or product group)
- Add support for electronic download products via secure download (could be done as a separate module instead of being built in)
- Linking to accounting (and/or ERP) packages such as XERO
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as I'd be interested to test your changes once they're done.

Hi HansR,
I don't have commit access to the SVN repository. I'd be happy to comit if they set me up a branch or something, otherwise I'll just post as files. Do you want to inquire about that for me?
I'm going to look at setting up a model admin for products, perhaps just using the one that Nicolaas provides in his ecommerce extensions. This should make large amounts of products more manageable. As for changing to DataObjects, not something I'm looking to do at this stage.
Likewise, with your other suggestions I probably won't venture towards implementing anything at this stage, unless it benefits my customers

Hi Jedateach,
Willr said that they might open up SVN access if someone who was experienced enough and serious about updating it. You should talk to him about it.
Likewise, with your other suggestions I probably won't venture towards implementing anything at this stage, unless it benefits my customers :-D
Naturally. ;-)
My suggestions would be a lot of work to implement. However, if enough people want/need them...

I am almost done implementing 0.6 beta on a ss 2.3 site.
I've been messing with making it translatable (it runs on 2 languages), removing Prototype.js related requirements, unnecessary theming, email templates, and making a little sense of their and AccountPage's include structure.
For a next project - on ss 2.4 - I would be very willing to contribute, as I've found that the ecommerce module contains a lot of great features, just that many of those unfortunately never were finished off properly.

this is outstanding news!
Ecommerce was a key feature that moved me from ModX to SilverStripe.
I am still rather new to the system, so I can not be of much development help currently, but I will lend support in what ever way I can.
I have been working with the ecom trunk and 2.0 payment mod on SS 2.4, I have found that this seems to be working as far as I was able to test so far. Perhaps the trunk has some additions beyond the beta that might be of use?

Great Stuff.
And I'd be keen to contribute. I have several clients running e-commerce on SilverStripe and was about to give up on it and write my own now that Payment module has taken out much of the complexities of managing payments.
To my mind, the current module is a little over-complicated and I would like to see it modularised so that functionality can be added through dataobject decorators. Right now you can't even add product attributes without changing "core" code. This extends (no pun intended) to things like testimonials, they've been added to the core code where they should really be decorators, I've had to write a decorator to remove them! This approach would make most people happy as you can swap in and out much of the wish list items described in this thread already.
Anyway, I've spent quite a few hours under the hood of e-commerce and keen to see SS2.4 + Payment module as a far more stable platform on which to build an ecommerce site.
Let the games begin

Product FeaturesThese beautiful, bright battery-operated strings sparkle more than the other battery-operated strings we've tried! LED battery operated strings are far superior to non-LED ones because they use less than 10% of the power of regular incandescent strings. This means the batteries last a lot longer.
- Battery pack uses 3 1.5 Volt AA batteries (not included.)
- Battery pack is not waterproof.
- Standard batteries last about 8 hours. (Many rechargeable camera AA batteries only generate about 1.2 volts and are not recommended because the lights won't be very bright.)
- 5mm Conical Wide Angle bulb shape.
- Warm White.
- Green Wire.
- 6.7 feet long, with 4 inches between lights.
- 20 LEDs per string.
- Very energy-efficient; only 2 Watts per string!
- Up to 100,000 hour bulb life.
- Lead was not used in the making of this product; however, there is a chance that the product you receive will not be labeled RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) because it was manufactured before we began labeling our Christmas lights RoHS. Also, the product may bear a California Prop 65 warning (that is not required) due to an abundance of caution by the manufacturer. We will not accept returns of this product merely because of the lack of a RoHS label or the presence of a Prop 65 warning. If you require a RoHS designation, we have many products so labeled, either on the packaging or the product itself.
- 1 year seasonal use limited warranty.
- Length from top of the green or white cuff of the bulb holder to tip of the bulb = 0.3 in.; length from the end of the molded bulb holder to the tip of the bulb = 1.1 in.
ApplicationsTabletop and other indoor decorations. Party planners buy these by the dozen! Dress up just about anything indoors with this energy-efficient LED light string!
- Trade show fixtures.
- Retail displays.
- Holiday decorations.
