Streetscapes/Manhattan Town Houses of Horace Trumbauer; Sumptuous Sophistication for the Country Estate Set
By CHRISTOPHER GRAY
Published: August 25, 2002
A NEW book due out this fall reviews the career of Horace Trumbauer, the Philadelphia mansion architect who built grand country places for the very rich. But he also created some of the most sumptuous town houses ever seen in Manhattan, and the author Michael Kathrens hopes that his book, ''American Splendor: The Residential Architecture of Horace Trumbauer,'' will reclaim the reputation of one of America's most successful residential designers.
Born in 1868 in moderate circumstances in suburban Philadelphia, Horace Trumbauer went to work at 14 for the architects George and William Hewitt. ''America's leading designer of great houses was a middle-class Philadelphian'' with no advanced education, Mr. Kathrens says in the book, which is to be published in October by Acanthus Press.
In 1890, Trumbauer opened his own office, an ambitious step for a 21-year-old; one of his first projects was a jail in Jenkintown, Pa. He began designing upper-middle-class houses for suburban developers, and in 1893 got a break that defined his later career.
William Welsh Harrison's house, Rosedale Hall, burned down and the owner retained Trumbauer to build anew. The new Grey Towers was a lumbering, rock-faced house designed like a Germanic castle, with no hint of the sophisticated French classic styling that marked Trumbauer's later career.
But commissions began to flow from leading Philadelphia families. In 1900, he completed Peter A. B. Widener's 110-room Palladian-style Lynnewood Hall, set on 150 acres in Elkins Park, Pa. Then Edward J. Berwind, the coal magnate, hired Trumbauer for his big limestone house in Newport. R.I. That house, the Elms, is sublime, writes Mr. Kathrens, his first French neo-Classic house, executed with a suave knowledge of 18th-century French design.
While Trumbauer was developing his practice in giant country estates, some New York City commissions arrived, many from Philadelphians. The first two were in 1904, both on the Upper East Side. John and Alice Drexel built the cool, reserved, limestone at 1 East 62nd Street from Trumbauer's designs; they had had the architect make plans for a site at 13 East 54th Street, but the impending construction of the St. Regis Hotel at 55th Street and Fifth Avenue provoked Mr. Drexel to seek quieter surroundings.
In the same year, I. Townsend Burden, who owned an iron foundry, built 2 East 92nd -- replaced by the present apartment house at 1107 Fifth Avenue -- a French town house of red brick and stone, roughly similar to what is now the Neue Galerie building at 86th Street and Fifth. Later, Marjorie Merriweather Post took over the house and subsequently turned it over to the developer of 1107 Fifth, in exchange for a triplex in the finished building.
In 1909, George J. Gould, son of the financier Jay Gould, finished a Trumbauer house on the northeast corner of 67th Street and Fifth Avenue; this has also been replaced, although some of the balcony ironwork was reused as a decorative touch on the apartment building that replaced it.
The next year, Adelaide Douglas, whom Mr. Kathrens identifies as the mistress of J. Pierpont Morgan, used Trumbauer's design to build 57 Park Avenue near 38th Street in the Louis XVI style, and in 1912 the tobacco merchant James B. Duke finished his $1 million new house at 78th Street and Fifth, the most expansive and probably the best known Trumbauer building in New York. Set well back from the street, the three-story house appears to have only two stories. With eight bedrooms, it housed Duke, his wife and daughter, and 14 servants.
In 1914, James Speyer, a banker, built the elegant, classical house at 87th Street and Fifth Avenue, later replaced by the apartment building at 1056 Fifth Avenue. It shared with the Duke house a leisurely, even lazy, low scale, as if they did not partake of the land-squeezing ethic of most New York building projects. Some idea of how a Trumbauer client entertained is the musicale given by the Speyers in 1920 -- 100 guests for buffet supper and the violinist Fritz Kreisler in concert.
Construction on the house for Marion S. Amory Carhart at 3 East 95th Street was interrupted by World War I, and she died in 1918 before she could occupy the building, which was a linchpin in a projected colony of mansions on the block.
In the 1920's, Trumbauer continued with his grand country houses, like the 100,000-square-foot Whitemarsh Hall, built for Edward T. Stotesbury, a financier, outside Philadelphia in Springfield. Mr. Kathrens quotes Henry Ford, upon visiting the house, as saying, ''It's a great experience to see how the rich live.''
Trumbauer's last grand building in Manhattan, the 40-room Herbert N. Straus residence at 9 East 71st Street, survives. Straus, one of the owners of R. H. Macy & Company, stopped construction when the Depression deepened in 1931, and after he died in 1933 some of the 18th-century interiors he had bought in France for installation in the house wound up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Wrightsman Galleries. The house was later used as a school and then reverted to single-family occupancy.

Holy ****...so I ordered new racing flats since I have quite a few races planned over the next several months. I got the Nike Lunaracer...they just showed up yesterday. These are the lightest shoes i have ever felt in my entire life. I used the Nike Zoom Kennedy Track and XC spikes for Track and Cross Country (duh), and the x-country ones are actually moderately heavy for spikes, a) because they're size 14 and b) because the have a kinda thick rubber spikeplate. But these flats i just got are lighter than even the Track spikes (which are basically like wearing socks), but somehow have all the cushioning (almost) of my regular trainers.
I knew that the new Nike FlyWire (c) technology was good, but wow.
Any comments?

This story appeared in the Greater Atlanta edition of the December ESPN RISE Magazine.
The Georgia Pistols Gold AAU team was in need of a spark.
Facing a talented Georgia Elite squad that featured future prep standouts Ka'Vonne Towns (Berkmar) and Alex Abraham (Paideia) in the 11-and-under finals, the Pistols needed someone to step up on the offensive end.
Enter Khaalidah Miller.
The precocious guard not only provided the spark, she engulfed the opposition in an inferno of 3-point bombs. Miller buried long-range shots from all over the court to keep the Pistols close.
"We couldn't do anything to stop her," says former Georgia Elite coach John Reeves. "We had no answer for her."
The Pistols eventually lost, but Miller canned 10 treys, announcing her arrival on the Greater Atlanta girls' hoops scene.
Miller is now a 5-foot-10 senior at Douglass (Atlanta, Ga.), and she has continued to amaze on the hardwood. After leading the Astros to the Final Four as a freshman, the two-time Class AAAAA All-State guard has taken Douglass to the Elite Eight and Sweet 16 in successive seasons. Miller has emerged as the state's top player in the Class of 2010 and the nation's No. 36 recruit in the ESPNU HoopGurlz 100.
"She's like Kobe (Bryant)," says senior teammate Cheryl Wade. "She scores whenever she wants and can take anybody off the dribble. She's the total package."
Even with all of her accolades, Miller remains humble and always remembers to give thanks for her talent. That's why after her 3-point barrage with the Pistols, she pointed to the stands at her mother and then pointed toward the sky.
"I was giving thanks to God for all of my ability," Miller says of the gesture she regularly makes on the court. "I'll do it if I hit a real big shot or we win a big game."
While Miller doesn't wear traditional Muslim attire or preach religion to her teammates, her faith has kept her grounded even as she's soared to new heights on the court.
"I think her knowing it was a power greater than her that gave her that ability, I think it keeps her level and humble," says Miller's father, Willie, who coaches the Pistols. "Her attitude and mannerism never changes. That's God working through her."
Growing up in a household with a Christian mother and a father who practices Islam, the Bible and Quran have been as important to her hoops career as her Nike high tops and her trademark jumper. Khaalidah -- whose name is Arabic for "ones who grow old and retain their beauty and love for God" -- often reads the Quran during rides to school with her father and frequently reads the Bible at home.
"She puts God first in her life," says Douglass head coach Vernise Harris-Hill. "She has a pattern her family follows."
Miller, who also runs cross country in the fall, fasts daily during the month of Ramadan, breaking around 3 p.m. to gather strength for practices and meets. On Friday nights, she attends services at either the Masjid Al-Muminum or Al-Ihsaan mosque with her father, while Sunday mornings are spent at the United Mission Church of God and Christ with her mother.
"Our children are raised to choose their own way," says her father. "The Bible and Quran sit side by side. They are exposed to each (religion). But everyone knows there's one God, and he's running the show."
Over the past three years, it's been Miller running the show at Douglass.
She exploded onto the high school scene as a 13-year-old freshman, buoying a strong Astros lineup with her deft outside shooting.
Due in large part to her age, Miller was caught off guard by her promotion to the varsity team and voiced her concerns to her father.
"At first I didn't want to play varsity," she says. "I told my dad, 'I can't play varsity my freshman year.' He looked at me like I was crazy and said I was playing varsity or nothing."
Harris-Hill reiterated her confidence in Miller, plugging her into the starting lineup in the team's opener against North Atlanta. Before taking the court, the squad huddled up and said a prayer, a regular practice before tipoff. Miller was still nervous as play commenced, but the nerves disappeared after she scored her first point.
That year, Miller and current Auburn guard Morgan Jennings ran an up-tempo offense predicated on Jennings' ability to knife through the defense and find Miller for outside jumpers. Miller flourished in the role.
"She fit in well," says Harris-Hill. "She hit the ground running, but she respected the players she was surrounded with."
Miller and Jennings collaborated on a run to the state Elite Eight the next season, with Miller upping her average from 13.9 to 16.4 points a contest. After Jennings graduated in 2008, Harris-Hill handed the reins to Miller, who guided Douglass to the Sweet 16 last year. She flawlessly transitioned to the team's No. 1 scoring option, pouring in 21.9 points per contest and surpassing the 1,500-point plateau as a junior.
Equally adept at shooting from the perimeter and slashing to the basket, Miller is producing optimism for a run at a state title in 2009-10.
"I'm hoping to see her take over this year," says Harris-Hill. "She will do what it takes to win the game. She wants the ball when the clock is at nine seconds, three seconds, one second."
At press time, Miller, who has also laced up her kicks for the Georgia Metros AAU squad, was undecided on her collegiate plans but had trimmed her list to Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, UAB and Rutgers.
No matter her next destination, Miller will have her Nikes, Bible and Quran packed for the ride.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Kwei Quartey's first novel, Wife of the Gods, is a
dark, edgy mystery that's almost gritty enough to be considered noir. The book
is a marvelous detective procedural; its complex plot includes a plethora of
suspects and clues that will keep readers guessing the murderer's identity until
the inevitable confrontation at the book's climax. The main character,
Detective Inspector Darko Dawson, relies on deduction and observation to solve
the crime at the heart of the book. There's no room for guesswork or
coincidence in this novel; it remains eminently logical until its very
satisfying conclusion.
Ghana is a country in the midst of rapid change, and Quartey takes full advantage of the friction caused by this change to add another, deeper layer to Wife of the Gods. The conflict between the old and the new is a constant theme running throughout ...
Ghana is located on West Africa's Gulf of Guinea only a few degrees north of the Equator (map). The country's 23 million people are concentrated along the coast and in the principal cities of Accra and Kumasi. Ethnically, Ghana is divided into small groups speaking more than 50 languages and dialects. English, the official and commercial language, is taught in all the schools.
By West African standards, Ghana has a relatively diverse and rich natural resource base. Minerals, principally gold, diamonds, manganese ore, and bauxite, are produced and exported. In 2007, a major oil discovery off the coast of Ghana led to the entry of a number of multinational companies. Timber and marine resources are important but declining. Agriculture remains a mainstay of the economy, accounting for more than one-third of GDP and about 55% of formal employment.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

NPR Rescues Its Missing Corrections Policy
When a listener heard an NPR story that her condo building had signed a deal to rent out a wall for a billboard to pay for maintenance needs, she was shocked.
The story used Marcia Cohen-Zakai's Miami condo as an example of how the rise in condo foreclosures can trigger a rise in monthly fees for condo neighbors which in turn can fuel more foreclosures. At the time of the May story, 40 percent of her condo residents were behind in fees.
At the end of the six-minute piece, NPR correspondent Greg Allen said, "And to help cover the shortfall, the owners of these luxury condos are doing something that just a few years ago, they wouldn't have considered. They've signed a deal to rent out one side of their building as space for a billboard."
Cohen-Zakai has been an owner for five years. She rarely misses a meeting because what the condo board does affects her home. She knew she hadn't signed any such deal.
"This is a significant error of fact," Cohen-Zakai wrote me in a letter a few weeks after the story aired. "As one of the owners of the Venetia Condo I can say with certainty that we have not signed, approved, voted or consented to any such deal. I hope that you will appreciate the importance of correcting Mr. Allen's error of fact during these hard condo times, when the facts are especially crucial."
Shortly after hearing the story, she said she tried to get NPR to run a correction. But all she got was frustration.
She contacted All Things Considered, where the story aired on May 6. She emailed email@example.com. She left a message on ATC's hotline. And she called, emailed and then sent a letter to the Ombudsman's office. "I do believe in NPR's high standards and I wasn't going to give up," she said.
No one from the editorial staff responded.
After Allen got her complaint he checked with his sources at the condo association. "They had not decided yet whether to submit the billboard deal to the full condo association," Allen told my office. "But the board members had indeed signed it. It's a done deal they assured me." But he never got back to Cohen-Zakai.
Cohen-Zakai's experience illustrates that, until very recently, NPR apparently did not take seriously its responsibility to make sure that mistakes, once found and proven, are dealt with promptly. From June 3 through 29, for example, there were no corrections listed at NPR's correction page.
As most news pros would concede, that's an infallibility average so far above normal as to strain credibility. This is no less true for NPR, which reports and produces fresh news around the clock, every day of the year. But a responsible news organization needs to publicly acknowledge and promptly correct its mistakes to help maintain credibility and trust.
NPR's policy is that all corrections and clarifications are to be shown on NPR's corrections Webpage.
My office did a study of the number of corrections on NPR's three news magazines — Morning Edition, Day to Day and All Things Considered between Jan. 1 and June 30 and found that Morning Edition, for example, ran six corrections and six clarifications on air during the six-month period studied— not one of which was put on NPR's corrections Webpage. On the Webpage, however, Morning Edition listed four different mistakes, not one of which was acknowledged on air.
All that has changed. At the beginning of July, Ellen Weiss, NPR's Vice President for News, issued a new corrections policy to better identify and correct mistakes in broadcasts and on the Web. Weiss has introduced a systematic way to handle corrections, putting veteran editor Jonathan Kern in charge.
"The ultimate goal is to be both more accountable for our coverage and more transparent with our audience," said Weiss.
And the numbers so far show the policy is working.
In all of 2006 and 2007, there were 34 corrections on NPR's corrections page. In July 2008 alone, NPR issued 33 corrections.
Some mistakes appear to be simply memory gremlins, such as when ATC host Melissa Block mistakenly said that Sodom was spared in the Book of Genesis, when it was not. Others are more serious, such as when NPR rolled out a short feature that turned out to be two years old. Or when a reporter misidentified which major bank posted an earning success at a time when most banks were posting record losses. I imagine Wells Fargo, which had done well in July, was not pleased to hear NPR give Wachovia the accolade instead.
But now the network is posting all its corrections and clarifications in a central place on the Web. NPR also is appending a correction to the Webpage for the relevant story and adding it to the written segment transcript, which is available for purchase.
Kern reads every email that comes into the corrections box, an average of about 75 a day. Many deal with mispronunciations, bad grammar or allegations of political bias. Often people think they heard something on NPR, and Kern will investigate only to find that the person is not correct.
Most of the emails are not asking for factual corrections.
"They are opinions ('Your programs are not balanced, or are dull, etc.'), or issues of grammar ('Your reporter just said 'between he and I!"), or have to do with non-NPR programs (shows we distribute but don't produce, or local programs)," said Kern in an email. "Many mention points they wish had been included in a story (and I forward these to the reporter), or suggest OTHER stories we might do. Once we winnow all those out, we get about a dozen that I actually look into."
Of those dozen or so questions about factual accuracy, between one and four warrant a correction.
"Most reporters and editors have been very happy to admit their mistakes, especially if they're obvious ones like getting a number wrong, or misspelling a name or making a claim that can't be justified," said Kern in an email. "For what it's worth, a lot of the errors that we correct are statements of interviewees. But we acknowledge responsibility for all of them by saying 'we' made the error — whether it was made by a guest, a reporter, an editor, or a producer."
Journalists need to be accountable to their listeners, readers and viewers. One of the best and most effective ways to do that is to admit mistakes and promptly correct them. After years of paying lip service to this concept, NPR now appears to be taking it seriously.
Shortly after the new policy was in place, I forwarded Cohen-Zakai's request for a correction, and it was taken care of within an hour. The correction, posted on July 29, said that while the Miami condo board had signed the billboard agreement, "it was not ratified by other condo owners."

I am so surprized that NPR had been so recalcitrant about acknowledging their mistakes. I have always held NPR in such high regard! Good for you for rectifying it!
Hmm. I guess I'm glad my local newspaper (and all other papers?) prints its corrections *in the newspaper* and not solely on its web site!
In several previous communications with various NPR ombudsmen I have urged that corrections -- or at least major ones -- MUST appear on the NPR program on which they occurred.
It only seems logical to me that NPR adopt this policy and that the ombudsman appear as needed on any NPR program that has made a significant error. Or even once a week?
It's bad enough when a newspaper makes an error above the fold on page one and then, days later, issues a tiny correction on an inside page. But at least it's in the same medium as the error. NPR needs to do the same.
P.S. I'm also not crazy about the fact that these periodic blog e-mails are only teasers, giving us the first couple of grafs and only puzzling us.
Two things:
1) Why is it so hard to find your email address, shouldn't an Ombudsman be accessible to the listeners?
2) Juan Williams and Rene Montaigne (sp?) were discussing Sarah Palin this morning. I was told that she was "controversial" because 85% of her own party approve of her, a low percentage of the opposition party like her, and 53% of independents have a favorable impression of her.
Given that Barack Obama is likely to pull similar numbers among those 3 groups, can I expect that he too will be called, "controversial"?
I realize that Juan Williams is a commentator, but I believe it was Rene Montaigne who used the word in describing her.
Reading the comments section of various blogs around NPR's site, reveals that the readership of NPR is smarter and better informed than the journalists.
Oh snap!
So the story was correct, and the reporter gets dinged for it? The condo owner's complaint is to be laid squarely at the feet of her condo board, not at the reporter's.
That a unit owner was unaware of the deal has no bearing on whether the condo board (which represents "the owners" and who may stand in for them in the sentence in question) actually signed it.
Seems unfortunate to single out this correspondent for an "error" when none was made.
And this is important why? this is the job description of an ombudsman? Yikes
who else can we talk to?

Pescante endorses IOC presidential candidate Bach
ROME -- Longtime IOC member Mario Pescante of Italy has endorsed Thomas Bach's bid to become the next president of the Olympic body.
A day after declaring his candidacy for IOC president, Bach attended a ceremony in Rome Friday marking the Italian Olympic Academy's 25th anniversary.
Academy founder Pescante called Bach the guest of honor, saying "it's our hope that in September he can become the new IOC president."
Pescante adds that the German "is a friend of Italian sport and maybe that's why he wanted to begin his complicated and ambitious challenge here in Rome among friends. ... Italian sport will be by your side."
Bach, an IOC vice president, is considered the front-runner in the race to succeed Jacques Rogge, who steps down in September.

Every event that a man would master must be mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought except as it galloped past him.
Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894)
Contributed by: Zaady
If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought; not free thought for those who agree with us, but freedom for the thought that we hate.
There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects, and three-story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors, who have no aim beyond their facts, are one-story men. Two-story men compare, reason, generalize, using the labors of fact collectors as well as their own. Three-story men idealize, imagine, predict; their best illumination comes from above, through the skylight.
I despise making the most of one's time. Half of the pleasures of life consist of the opportunities one has neglected.
The riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill. There is time to hear the kind voice of friends and to say to one's self: "the work is done." But just as one says that, the answer comes: "The race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains." The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest. It cannot be, while you still live. For to live is to function. That is all there is in living.

I've been been setting up and customizing a page recently, using the plugins Postie and CQS. Recently, my images I upload through the wordpress control panel have been shrinking themselves and I don't know why.
I'm using images of 640X480 size as a maximum, yet nothing seeems to go over 450 pixels-ish. When I load an image and send to the editor I make sure to click on show full size image and link to none (how I want it). Yet they come out small. I didn't have this problem until yesterday.
If I send an image using Postie it starts out alright- full size that is, but if I then go and edit the post inside of wordpress, such as writing some text or only changing the title- without even touching the image, on saving the post and returning to the site it has shrunk again.
I've checked there is no maximum image size in the Postie setup as well.
I tried reloading the default theme as I thought maybe I had altered some code somewhere by mistake - yet it's the same thing. I've deactivated Postie temporarily to see if it helps- still the same. I use Firefox but have tested in IE and still the same. Searches here haven't yielded anything.
I didn't have this problem a couple of days ago- I'm sure of it. Does anyone have any idea what's going on please?

Once It's in the database, I then want it to retrieve it and display it on a page. Also, I don't want duplicate entries. So I want to overwrite the table record if it resides under the same user id. How do I accomplish this? Is there a plugin I can use?

About a year ago, Lindsey Gortĺs name came up for a part but the casting director said she wasnĺt right for it because she was more of a young Kim Cattrall-type.
Now Gort is playing a young Samantha Jones Ś Cattrallĺs character in ôSex and the Cityö Ś on The CWĺs ôThe Carrie Diariesö (Friday, 8 p.m. EDT).
ôWhen the part came up, my manager was like, ĹHey, remember when you said she was a young Kim Cattrall-type? Well, youĺre looking for that right now so you should come see her,ĺö Gort said in a recent interview.
ôItĺs such an iconic character, and Iĺm such a huge fan of the show,ö she said.
Set in the 1980s, ôThe Carrie Diariesö stars AnnaSophia Robb as teen Carrie Bradshaw, who lives in Connecticut with her widowed father and younger sister. The show is based on novels by Candace Bushnell, as was ôSex and the City.ö
Gortĺs version of Samantha Jones is a lot like the one in the ĺ90s HBO series and the two movies that followed.
The big difference, Gort says, is that Samantha is ôin her early 20s and is not a career woman yet, so she doesnĺt have her Birkin bags and her Manolos yet. Sheĺs figuring herself out, trying to figure out where she belongs in this world and having a good time while doing that.ö

Thursday, September 11, 2014Pat Brown 09/11/14 12:08 PM,Both analog and digital mixing consoles have an input gain control ahead of the channel fader. The gain control's job is to scale the input signal to an appropriate level. It's setting is source-dependent, which means that proper setting requires a sound check that includes the vocalist and their respective microphone. There are three variables in play: 1. Talker level 2. Microphone sensitivity 3. Talker-to-microphone distance It's not always possible to set the input gain in advance, but there… View this story

When soloing the drum mics, you hear a close, clear sound. But when you mix in the piano mic, that nice, tight drum sound degrades into a distant, muddy sound. The problem is happening because the drum sound leaked into the piano mic, which picked up a distant drum sound from across the room. It's as if the piano mic… View this story

BTW Aluminum is sooooo 20th century.. ;)
This might be abit off topic but has anyone keep their UQ attached to the hammock and slide the whole thing into a bishop sack? PRO's and Con's?
Love It. Everything from cooking cozies to putting a second layer on a closed cell foam pad.
I'd go 10 to 12 ft. My BMBH UL came with straps just over 6ft. Pretty much useless this side of the Rockies. I am happy with the tri-glides so give them a try.
Just remember with the stingerz you need enough line to come back to the biner. With the flyz you can adjust the hardware back or forward on the line as needed.
ONLY HURTS IF YOU LIVE!!!! Nice video. Thanx.
9-10 ft for 4 season. It's nice having alittle extra when you might need to guy out to a root or sapling.
I'll take the Vicky tinker with a lanyard please.
I'll take a chance on the bush buddy.
Just slippages and stupid's here. Never a material fail.
I'm in. Getting Dutch toys in the mail?
If it hasn't been crushed, I will take the elite.
LOL! Or leave receipts from JRB laying around!
Any pics or links for the UQ cover?
2nds please.
How much length do you leave for your "hook" side?
I'm glad it's not just my wife... I try to explain the lure of Dutchware but she just rolls her eyes.:lol:
I like the jrb sniveler. It has good width for tucking and with over stuff I've been in the 20's with no problems. Plus you get to deal with the nicest guys in the cottage industry THE JACKS!

The report said Romney's heart appears healthy, and he takes a baby aspirin and medicine to treat high cholesterol to help keep it that way. He doesn't smoke or drink. And his resting heart rate is a low 40 beats per minute, in the range of well-trained athletes and reminiscent of President George W. Bush, who also had a low resting rate.
Romney is 6 feet 1½ inches tall and weighs 184 pounds.
As for his taxes, the Romneys' 2011 rate was slightly above the 13.9 percent effective rate they paid for 2010 when their federal tax bill was about $3 million.
They paid federal taxes of $1,935,708 on income of $13,696.951 for last year, according to the returns filed Friday with the Internal Revenue Service. They had obtained a filing extension beyond the usual April 15 tax deadline. His campaign earlier estimated that he would pay about $3.2 million in taxes for the year, well above the $1.9 million actually paid.
Most of Romney's income is from investments held in a blind trust, and campaign aides have stressed that he makes no decisions on how his money is invested.
Most of the income for the year came from investments, which are now generally taxed at 15 percent whereas the top marginal rate for income from wages is 35 percent.
The Romneys reported $6.8 million in capital gains, such as from the sale of stocks and other securities, and $6.37 million from dividends and taxable interest.
Romney's vast fortune and his long association with Bain Capital have been much discussed this year.
Analysts said details about his investments could emerge only if Romney provided far more of his tax returns — including files dating back to his years at Bain, the private firm he left in 2001. Romney, who initially refused to disclose any tax returns, has drawn the line at providing those from the past two years.
"All the important compliance and policy questions relating to Romney's personal tax matters relate to the past," said Edward D. Kleinbard, a law professor at the University of Southern California and former chief of staff of Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation. "The issue has never been Romney's 2011 tax return — in fact, it is a distraction to the real issues."
Only multiple returns would provide details about Romney's $100 million retirement account and how it grew, Kleinbard said. He also earlier returns would be crucial in knowing how often he paid gift tax on family trusts.
Joseph Bankman, a Stanford University law school professor and expert on tax law, said, "It's the Bain years we'd really need to know to have a full assessment of his tax strategies." Bankman said that the 2010 and 2011 returns "only raised these questions, but they can't provide real answers."

If You're Thinking of Living In:/Hartsdale, N.Y.;Affordable Hamlet, With Farms as a Plus
By MARY McALEER VIZARD
Published: February 4, 1996
IN warmer weather, when Alan Hochberg looks out his window he can see a tractor tilling the land on a farm across the street from his home in Hartsdale, a hamlet in the Town of Greenburgh.
"It's amazing to me that I'm living in southern Westchester and I'm right near a farm," said Mr. Hochberg, administrator of the Scarsdale Synagogue/Tremont Temple. He and his wife, Faye, a lab technician in the Bronx, moved from that borough 13 years ago.
It was always our dream to come up here," he said, "and it's been everything we've dreamed of."
Hartsdale has a 17-acre and a 15-acre working farm, both on Secor Road and both operated by Westchester Greenhouses and Farms, a local company that sells produce and flowers from a roadside stand.
"I don't know of any other farms in the area," said Joseph Chiocchi, the company's owner. "There are other nurseries, but no one else who cultivates their own produce and flowers."
The farms are in a section called Poet's Corner, whose 26 streets, all named for poets, are lined with single-family homes. The majority of the houses are Cape Cods, ranches and some colonials, built mostly in the 50's and 60's, with a scattering from the 20's.
The presence of farms lends a sense of spaciousness to what would otherwise be a traditional suburban community. Hartsdale has several similar neighborhoods of single-family homes scattered throughout its two-square-mile area.
Around its train station are several apartment buildings, most of which have been converted into co-ops. The hamlet also has condominium complexes and a highly diverse population. Mr. Hochberg says much of Hartsdale remains unchanged from when he first arrived.
"The essence of Hartsdale is the beautiful mix of people," he said. "And everyone works hard to maintain our quality of life."
Paul J. Feiner, the Town Supervisor, added: "People don't say I live in Greenburgh. They always identify with the section, whether it's Hartsdale or Elmsford [another hamlet]. In fact, most people think of Hartsdale as a village."
Its central business district near the train station is a collection of small, mostly local shops. Some have been there for more than 30 years. Hartsdale Liquors, for instance, has been at its present location on West Hartsdale Avenue, the hamlet's main street, since 1933. Richard O'Leary has owned and operated the store since 1959.
"Since the apartment buildings went co-op, there's not as much turnover," Mr. O'Leary said. "It's a more stable customer base. And recently, there been an increase in the number of Asians. They're excellent customers."
But last year's closing of the area's only supermarket, Gristede's, Mr. O'Leary said, "has definitely made a difference; it's been a hardship for the people who live in the apartments."
While the hamlet has been a magnet for the Japanese in particular, reflected in the number of Japanese shops and restaurants, "Just about every ethnic group is here," said Dorothy Jensen, president of Dorothy Jensen Realty.
Ms. Jensen opened her real estate office in Hartsdale in November, after selling in the hamlet for years at another office. So far, she said, business has been "phenomenal." She had sold six houses by late last month.
"Buyers come up primarily from the city to find a single-family home, priced between $225,000 and $250,000," Ms. Jensen said."Most people who buy here have incomes in the $65,000-to-$85,000 range." THE fact that Hartsdale is a moderately priced community makes it vulnerable to market fluctuations, said Stephanie W. Bellino, president of Blum & Bellion Realtors, in Hartsdale. "Many of our customers are in middle management, which makes them uncertain about their job security," Ms. Bellino said. "When interest rates come down, everybody comes in. But if they blip up, they're all gone again."
Ms. Bellino has two current listings that represent the range of houses available. One is for a two-bedroom, one-bath ranch for $179,000 and the other for a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath colonial on a half acre for $376,000.
"That's about the range," she said. "Most sales fall in the middle."
In addition, there is a wide range of co-ops and condominiums. Most co-ops are within walking distance to the train, Ms. Bellino said. Their prices can range from $50,000 for a one-bedroom, to $219,000 for a three-bedroom.
Condominiums, which usually offer amenities like pools and tennis courts, are priced from $139,000 for a one-bedroom to $329,000 for a three-bedroom, Ms. Bellino said.
Hartsdale was once part of the Manor of Philipsborough, presided over by Frederick Philipse, a Dutch merchant.
After the Revolutionary War, the third and last lord of the manor, also Frederick Philipse, a great-grandson of the first lord of the manor and a Tory, fled to England. The state confiscated all of the family's 90,000 acres stretching from the Bronx to the Croton River and later resold it at auction to tenant farmers and other buyers.
ONE of the successful bidders was Robert Hart, and what is now the intersection of Central Park Avenue and West Hartsdale Avenue was once Hart's Corner. (It is now known as the Four Corners). In the 1870's, The surrounding area became known as Hartsdale.
In the 1800's, the hamlet was made up of several large estates owned by prominent New York families.

Skin Smoothing Cream contains a potentially irritating amount of arnica as well as sensitizing ylang ylang oil. Even if you wanted to tolerate these fragrant ingredients, the moisturizer is an overall boring formula with a paltry amount of antioxidants.

Comments about Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream:
I've tried this because I have dry skin in the winter. Tight winter skin with red cheeks. I have been using Nivea. The blue tub stuff that's super moisturising but quite thick and thought I should try something maybe for added ingredients so chose this. My skin feels tight and a slight sting to it after applying this which I don't experience with rich Nivea. I'm not liking that and I've had some huge spots on my neck this week and I never get spots. I'll try it out for a week or so more but at the moment I'm disappointed as wanted my skin to feel really nice and moisturised not stinging and big spots on neck.

NOTHING else worked for my dry skin
By LizzyLin
from Netherlands
About Me Brand Buyer
After using a sample of this product, long time ago, I noticed how soft and smooth my skin got. The difference was so remarkable that I actually wondered if it was due to this product or maybe something hormonal. Although I am not really happy about the strong (arnica) smell it is still acceptable. The smell doesn't last that long. It actually doesn't smell 'bad' it's just different/ strange/ herbal.Someway along the line I stopped using this product and started using other products that claimed to do much better things for my skin.A few months ago I noticed to have some really bad dry spots/ skin above my eyes, in my upper eyelid crease. I tried so many things it drove me mad. I could not apply eyeshadow and foundation anymore without it showing the dry skin (ugly...)Suddenly I remembered the Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Creme I purchased a while ago and decided to try this.No joke, within a week the dry skin was gone. After that I thought that I could go back to using my regular product again. The dry spots returned within days.Enough reason for me to re-order this product again. And despite the bad review I really wanted to mention my own experience with this product. It really really helped my skin.I'm thinking about trying other dermalogica products and seeing how that works.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very disappointed
By Marie S
from undisclosed
I' m disgusted with the claims Dermalogica are making throughout their product range. Since my fortunate (serendipity) 'stumble' across Paula's Choice website; I'm appalled to research/read that the ingredients of this' skin smoothing cream' should basically be washed down the drain or binned! This totally explains why my skin has been causing me so much trouble since I started using Dermalogica products; but I thought that I was using a quality/elite product. This company should be shut down
Smooth, but pimply skin
By Anonymous
It really smooth my skin, I loved that, but it broke me out badly. And I missed the return deadline by 2 days and the company not only didn't refund it, they didn't send it back to me. Not good business practices.
agree with the cosmetic cop review. did absolutely nothing
Very expensive. Very wet. Not easily absorbed. Did nothing and does not smooth the skin. Causing skin to breakout. Was recommended by a beautician which knows nothing about sensitive skin.

Dermalogica At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good eye-makeup remover; a unique skin-lightening product; a couple of commendable moisturizers, one with stabilized vitamin C.
Weaknesses: Expensive; almost every category has one or more products that contain irritating ingredients with no established benefit for skin; Clean Start and MediBac lines are particularly disappointing; the SPF products tend to be mediocre to poor.
Dermalogica's name implies a logical relationship to dermatology, which makes it sound as if you are getting serious skin care. The subtitle on their products is even more commanding: "A Skin Care System Researched and Developed by the International Dermal Institute." But what is the International Dermal Institute, you ask? Are there any dermatologists there? Apparently not: The International Dermal Institute is a Dermalogica-owned school for aestheticians who want an education beyond what is required for their cosmetology license, and the classes are taught by aestheticians.
Does the professional atmosphere of the school associated with Dermalogica mean better products? The proof is in the pudding, and this pudding is, for the most part, just Jell-O, not chocolate mousse. A company so concerned with skin-care education should be ashamed of itself for offering so many products that damage skin with known irritants and, more egregiously, offering so many sunscreens that lack sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients. Dermalogica's education-oriented, serious-minded, and clinical positioning doesn't mesh with the majority of their products, and is on par with tobacco company executives teaching an aerobics class.
According to company history, the reason Dermalogica products came to be was that founder Jane Wurwand could not find a spa-oriented skin-care line that met her criteria. She was dismayed that so many skin-care lines aimed at the aesthetics market had products that contained alcohol, artificial colors, fragrance, mineral oil, and lanolin, ingredients that she believed had a well-documented history of problems. That's true for fragrance and alcohol (and artificial colors to a lesser extent), but mineral oil and lanolin have no documented history of causing skin problems. If anything, quite the opposite is true. Further, if Dermalogica's founders were so concerned about potentially or definitively harmful ingredients, why do their products contain so many of them? Where is the research proving that lavender oil, camphor, balm mint, arnica, ginger oil, and citrus oils are helpful for skin?

Did you have a look at the second part of Johannes Waldmann's thesis The Combinator S ?
He proves that the normalization of S-based combinators is decidable and provides a procedure. SSS(SS)SS does not normalize.
He also refers to Dobouè's combinator S(SS)SSSS which does not normalize.

East Lyme — For the second time in three months, a female prisoner has walked away from the York Correctional Institution.
Lori Beyus, 49, of Torrington, an inmate with a lengthy criminal record, escaped from the York Correctional Institution early Sunday but was captured 12 hours later about a mile from the facility.
The Department of Correction said that at about 6:15 a.m. the prison was placed in lockdown and an emergency count of prisoners was ordered when correctional officers reported that Beyus was missing during breakfast in the dining hall.
The Correction Department said the escape was considered a "walk away" because Beyus was housed on the minimum-security side of the facility, which is not totally secured by a fence.
State police said that she was captured shortly after they received a 911 call at 5:40 p.m. from a person reporting a possible sighting of Beyus along Interstate 95 near the North Bridebook Road overpass.
A search by local and state police and correction staff led to her apprehension at 6:15. Beyus was charged with first-degree escape, processed by state police and then turned over to the Correction Department. She is scheduled to appear in New London Superior Court on April 22.
Beyus is serving a 51-month sentence for a Milford robbery in 2012. Over the past seven years she has convictions for possession of narcotics, second-degree stalking, first-degree failure to appear in court, fifth-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit fifth-degree larceny, reckless driving, third-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit third-degree larceny, and disorderly conduct, according to state judicial records. She also has been convicted of violation of probation eight times, sixth-degree larceny twice and interfering with a police officer twice.
On Jan. 5, two prisoners were walking back from the gymnasium to their housing unit in an unfenced part of the prison when they fled to a location on nearby Roxbury Road, where they were picked up by someone in a vehicle. The two women were apprehended in Hartford about 24 hours later. Their escape prompted prison officials to review housing assignments for inmates in the unfenced section of the prison.
East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica said both his public safety director and the prison warden called him just before 7 a.m. to inform him of a possible escape. About an hour and a half to two hours later — when the escape was confirmed, Formica said — an alert was sent out via the town's Everbridge system to notify residents. A notice was also posted on the town's website, he said. Formica said he also called neighboring town officials to inform them.

From Our Editors
A longtime resident of Windsor, Dr. Patrick Smith, M.D. returned to the area after completing medical school and opened a family practice in 1987. He enjoyed the work but longed to transition into dermatology, for which he held both a passion and professional training. Years later, he assembled a team of estheticians and opened his namesake skincare clinic: Dr. P.X. Smith Medical Cosmetics.
Open for more than seven years, the clinic offers cosmetic and medical-grade services including Botox and Juvederm, laser skin-resurfacing treatments, and mole removal from both faces and lawns. Dr. Smith performs all medical consultations and directly supervises treatments performed by his highly trained staff.
As a skincare expert, the doctor is dedicated to educating his community about the dangers of excessive sun exposure. He worked at the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre before starting his family practice and coordinated the Mark Hunt Melanoma Awareness Fund-Raising Walk to heighten awareness of skin cancer, particularly malignant melanoma.

Does anyone know how this man died? My mother told me that my dad's name was Edward Earl Tucker. She said his birthday was October 1 1940 and that he died before I was born in 1980. I know that this information is a little different than the tombstone, but he was married so the truth was probably stretched a little.

A low-cost, small, lightweight hyperspectral sensor system that can be loaded onto small unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) platforms has been developed for the acquisition of aerial hyperspectral data. Safe and easy observation is possible under unstable illumination conditions by using lightweight and autonomous cruising. The hyperspectral sensor system, equipped with a 256-band hyperspectral sensor covering a spectral range from 340-763 nm, a GPS and a data logger, is 400 g in total weight. The acquisition period for each sampling, 768 bytes, is 100 ms. The aerial hyperspectral data of rice paddies are collected under cloudy weather. The flight altitude from the ground is 10 m, and the cruising speed is 2 m/s. The high-accuracy estimation of the chlorophyll densities is confirmed, even under unstable illumination conditions, by frequent monitoring of the illumination level and the chlorophyll indices, based on the red-edge (RE) and near infrared (NIR) spectral ranges.

City Council saves jobs, raises taxes slightly
Published: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 10:27 p.m.
BREVARD The Brevard City Council passed an $11.6 million budget Monday that keeps services in place without job losses.
Because of a revaluation, many homeowners will see a small tax increase. The budget also hikes water bills by 6 percent.
Cost of living increases for the citys 88 full-time employees have been put on hold but the budget maintains current staffing levels.
The citys property tax rate for 200910 will be 38.75 cents per $100 valuation, a decrease from the current rate of 49.5 cents because of this years revaluation, said Terry Scruggs, city finance director and interim city manager.
However, the new property tax rate means homeowners will actually pay a little more next fiscal year. The new rate is slightly above a revenue-neutral tax rate of 37.45 cents per $100 of valuation, Scruggs said.
A revenue neutral property tax rate would have lowered the rate to a level that would produce the same revenue the city collected before the revaluation.
The new rate means many Brevard property owners will actually see a tax increase.
Under the old rate, a home valued at $200,000 would have a tax bill of $990. If that house was assessed now at $270,000, the tax bill would be $1,046 a $56 increase.
That averages out to be about a $4.50 a month increase due to the tax reassessment, Scruggs said. We tried really hard to get it (tax rate) to the revenue neutral rate, but at this point, thats (38.75 cents) a very good rate.
A primary reason the city was unable to reach the revenue neutral tax rate was its commitment to a sign project designed to boost tourism, Scruggs said. The project involves placing directional signs at strategic entry points to the city and Brevard points of interest.
The new signs will cost the city $18,000 annually over the next 10 years, he said.
Tough choices
The budget also includes a 6 percent increase in water and sewer bills the third consecutive year the city has imposed a utility rate increase.
The Council passed the budget on a 41 vote on Monday night.
Brevard Mayor Jimmy Harris said crafting the 200910 budget was one of the most difficult Ive had in the 10 years Ive been mayor. The budget is sensitive to the tough economic times many residents find themselves in, he added, yet honors commitments to continuing services and employment to city workers.
Councilman Mack McKeller was the lone no vote. He said he was disappointed with the budget, indicating that he would have liked the tax rate to have been revenue neutral. The budget would have been within $2,000 of being revenue neutral if council members had taken the sign project out of the 200910 budget, he added.
I have issues with it because it looks like it doesnt have a tax increase, but it does, McKeller said. I am disappointed that this didnt happen.
The new budget goes into effect July 1.
Contact Kelley at (828) 694-7871 or email@example.com.
Budget highlights
- $2.4 million for police department (includes salaries, training, addition of an investigator position and vehicle maintenance and repair)
- $1.1 million for Public Works (includes sanitation and street departments/capital needs and salaries for department employees)
- $538,968 for Buildings and Grounds (includes maintenance and repairs and salaries for department employees)
- $371,480 for the Planning Department (includes training and salaries for department employees)

Re: Reopened Macy's account still showing 'Closed' by TU in TC 3-in-1 report
writemikep wrote:
Yes. The TL in my first post is from my TransUnion credit report pulled last night, after they say the dispute was investigated. Notice the TL doesn't have a 'Remark: Account closed by consumer' line (which would appear below the Loan Type, and just before the History section, when we close an account). So I'm assuming the 'Date Closed' entry is confusing TrueCredit. TransUnion says the account is open. Bizarre (since TC is TU, right?)
This is correct. Since they claim it is verified as open I would dispute again and ask, "Well if you verifed this account is open why are you reporting a closed date." Hopefully the next clerk will fix it correctly.

I liked the stay because of the location, value for the dollar, and agreeable staff. Thanks for helping make my group's trip to Chicago a great experience. "

- " Great place, easy to find, felt really safe there, was a really relaxed vibe and the staff were super helpful - Sam and Pao were the two names I remember to single out for praise, but I'll be back soon and I'm sure more staff will get a namecheck then! "
- 04 May 2016 Catherine Wales
- " Fantastic hostel. Very close to the Damen Subway station and I couldn't fault anything with the hostel at all. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful (shout out to Meg for her top tips in Chicago) and had pretty much every facility you could think of - including a great roof terrace. It's a brilliant find. "

- " I went with my friends, people r so nice over there and u can definitely make lots of friends in this hostel, choose this one like seriously, good luck "
- 13 Mar 2016 Anonymous China
- " I only stayed there for one night but I can say that the morning staff, meg, was really kind. She is really helpful to adapt new place. And people there were also nice, they know how to respect others. But the little uncomfortable part was temp. and pressure of water. It took pretty long time to get hot water and the water pressure was not enough for me, I mean personally. "
- 19 Feb 2016 CHUN HONG South Korea
- " Great location, especially if you need access to O'Hare. I also liked the cheap private rooms and the general quiet. Would definitely stay there again. "

- 16 Jan 2016 Jason USA
- " Had a great stay. Only complaints were that common room was cold due to the constantly opening door, heat was on blast in the rooms, and showers were wonky in terms of pressure and temperature. But, honestly, everything else the hostel offered was great, and made the stay worth it. "
- 02 Jan 2016 Anonymous USA
- " Great staff, and perfect location. It's right next to a Walgreens and about 2 blocks from the metro station. Plenty of coffee shops and bars within walking distance. The room was small but it's great if all you need is a quiet place to sleep at night. And if you're driving, the $10/day parking is unbeatable. I'd definitely stay here again if I come back to Chicago on a budget trip. "
- 28 Dec 2015 Brett USA
- " When I was taking a shower, the water was not enough and so cold. I wish you would fix the shower system. Except it, I had a great time in the hostel. Thank you so much. "

Hi there
Just a little question, Ever since i started running using the C25K plan until now i have sometimes ended up with a sore left hip. This has been more apparent reciently after i moved my training from a flat route to a more undulating course.
The soreness is most apparent shortly after i finish running and to some degree during, but never enough to stop me running.
My shoes are about 100 miles old and i did have my gait assessed at running store with video gait analysis (i overpronate in shoes that let me but i dont barefoot).
Any advice, are there any strengthing or stretching exercises that would be benificial?
Thanks in advance
What kind of shoes are you wearing? It just sounds to me like you are getting too much correction from your shoes, despite the gait analysis saying you overpronate. I've almost always found a sore hip to be too much correction. I hope you figure it out.
[http://This message has been edited by marunr (edited Sep-15-2007).|http://This message has been edited by marunr (edited Sep-15-2007).]
Maybe, just maybe, your problem is due to piriformis. That's a teeny muscle in your hip that when it acts up causes pain deep in the butt. Also can effect the hamstring.
Exercises such as "clam shell" , piriformis stretch, and the "figure 4" might help.
Best to get it properly diagnosed.
the shoes that i am using are Asics Gel Kayano 13 and i have been using them for a few months now and have only started to get this trouble with my hip in the past month, since i started moving from the flat onto a more undulating course.
What are clam shell , piriformis stretch, and the figure 4 exercises?
Clam shell:
When I do this exercise (recommended by a physiotherapist), I bend both legs as if I was sitting on a chair, but this is close.
