A morning at Urban Farms.
On Friday night, I stopped by TJ Maxx and bought the last pair of rubber boots in the store. It's a good thing. After volunteering Saturday at Urban Farms, my feet look like this.
I've been intrigued by Urban Farms since it started last summer, but until yesterday, I hadn't joined in the effort to grow food for an underserved neighborhood in Memphis called Binghampton. The farm is tucked so tightly between affluent and forgotten that it doesn't show up on Map Quest. But thanks to the
remarkable efforts of a handful of organizers and enthusiastic volunteers, three acres where cotton once grew is now a thriving and sustainable farm.
There are compost piles, a tank for tilapia (the water if filtered through watercress that is also sold to local restaurants), and lovely rows of cool weather crops like broccoli rabe, romaine, and red lettuce. Come summer, there will be much more produce, along with chickens, goats, and bee hives.
I spent most of my time Saturday rearranging drip hoses and planting kohlrabi. Others beat back the kudzu, sifted worm castings, or moved around compost with the farm's tractor. A few blocks down Tillman Avenue, another group of volunteers helped to get the Urban Farms Market ready for a March 26 opening. Eventually, produce from the farm will help stock the market, bringing healthy and affordable food to people with few food choices.

Book Description: Since her death in 1963 at the age of thirty, Sylvia Plath has become a strange icon---an object of intense speculation, fantasy, repulsion, and desire. Jacqueline Rose stands back from the debates and looks instead at the swirl of controversy, recognizing it as a phenomenon in itself--one with much to tell us about how a culture selects and judges writers; how we hear women's voices; and how we receive messages from, to, and about our unconscious selves.

text: Artist explores object permanence with kinetic sculptures Culture 27 January 12 by Olivia Solon Tweet Object PermanenceMarco Pinter Artist and computer scientist Marco Pinter has created a series of robotically controlled sculptures, which interact with on-screen and projected imagery to trick the mind into perceiving the existence of objects that are not physically present.The sculptures are Heath Robinson-esque machines comprised of a number of different TV screens, projection screens and an array of weird and wonderful mechanical parts such as cogs, bones and pendulums.He told Wired.co.uk that he is particularly interested in object permanence, or the acknowledgment that objects continue to exist when we don't see them. His work aims to question how much we can trust our perception. "I have a background in cognitive psychology and I am very interested in visual perception and illusion," he said. The pieces feature on-screen animations which appear to move from one side of the screen to the other. A few seconds later they appear on a second screen travelling at the same speed and in the same direction, positioned about a foot away from the first one. The brain fills in the gap, allowing us to imaging the object has moved between the screens. The animation then leaps off the screen and appears to trigger a cog or similar moving part into action. The effect is that we imagine that this virtual agent is leaping between screens and triggering physical mechanisms. See the video embedded in this post to see the machines in action.He designed the software using Processing and Max, creating a virtual stage in which the screens and the robotic mechanisms were placed. The program was linked to Arduino controllers to trigger the mechanisms at the right time. "In order for the illusion to work, I needed a very tight interaction between the motors and the graphics," he said.The pieces are currently on a time loop, but Pinter plans to create pieces that interact with the viewer. Pinter's pieces are currently being exhibited at the AC Institute in New York. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments Cool idea! Steve Jan 27th 2012 I think that Pinter is on to something here. Will there be any West Coast exhibits? BigM Jan 28th 2012 In reply to BigM I saw the installation in NYC and it is pretty cool. Not sure about the show traveling to the west coast so try a get to NYC if you can - it is worth it. Sanders Jan 28th 2012 Pinter is on to something here! Has anything like this been done before?? This is making me want to see more of his stuff. I hope that this exhibit eventually moves to the West Coast so that I can see it in person.

Ne-Yo is staging a one-man boycott of the new Michael Jackson album -- telling us he doesn't want to listen to it because he doesn't think MJ would have EVER wanted it to be released.
The singer/songwriter/producer was in NY this weekend -- where he explained MJ was such a perfectionist, "If Michael was still alive ... I don't think the album would be out yet."
He added, "I'm gonna stick to my old Mike."
Who cares what he thinks?All the speculationes are rediculous!
Enjoy the Album, we don`t know what we will get in the future!
When I heard there'd be a posthumous Michael-Jackson-album I was admittedly upset. I decided to cover my ears, NOT listen to it, to dislike every snippet of sound which – unwantedly – would get me and to be heroically abstinent concerning "Michael".
Of course I bought it in the end.
And I liked it. Each single song.
Meanwhile I even LOVE it. And think that Michael should have found the courage and the self-confidence to release these songs when he was alive. It's a wonderful album, and he had deserved to enjoy this success.
Posted at 8:40 AM on Dec 20, 2010 by moni
I like it too , its so up to date and when Michael thought these songs are not good enough, then for me it only shows what a genius he was.
For me its more then good enough i really enjoy `Michael`!
You know with tears in my Eyes
Ne Yo's actions only HURT Michael's estate(Michael's children).This is a very poor decision made on this man's part.
@Billy Ne-yo is a phenomenal and success singer/songwriter who actually was approached by MJ and worked w/ him, thank you very much. I agree w/ Ne-Yo and that's why I didn't buy the album. I would rather buy MJ's old albums 10x than to buy his "new" cd, and by the looks of it, so would a lot of ppl. "Michael" the album certainly isn't living up to MJ's expectations and it's because we boycotted $ony for murdering or hero. MJ, I love you and God bless your family. MJ's old and classic albums will sell forever and his kids will reek the benefits from them and his royalty, they are set.
Look people the album is already out!! If you dont want to buy it then don't its your choice!! I happen to love the album. I know it is unfinished by Michael since he is sadly no longer here. Also come one his unfinished music is much better then anyones finished songs!! I rather hear more unfinished demos knowing it also supports Michael's babies. Why would Michael put these songs in a vault if they are not meant for release? I think MJ had a plan for these songs in case something happened to him. I know he was worried that something would happen to him. Now come on ppl think about it!! Michael was a brilliant musician, entertainer no one will ever be him. His trash is better compared to other artists finished work. I would love to hear more unfinished music I just love MJJ with all my heart and soul. Wish he was here !! I think thesSony just needs to release the demos with the songs so that people can hear the difference as well . Maybe that will get ppl to support the album more.Maybe that will shut people up. I am not a Sony supporter b/c the way they treated MJ but I am a MJ supporter.I would recommend the cd to anyone its really really good.My favorites are: Hollywood Tonight, (I like) The way you love me, Best of joy, Behind the mask, Monster, Hold my hand, Much too soon. R.I.P MJJ your the best and I love you
Michael Jackson WAS a perfectionist no doubt about that. I have this CD and I truly love it. But sadly and as far as we know Michael is gone. I am getting disgusted with those artists speaking against this new cd. They call it a "travesty" because if Michael was still here the end result would be that of what Michael would have wanted. The loss of Michael as an artist and especially as the man he was will be missed forever...
I don't think Michael would have wanted these songs released until they were completed. Even though the songs are good. They are still missing that Michael Jackson magic. It's very nice and cool of the people who made this decision to wanna share these songs with us. But it should have been released as a special collection from his vault.
Love kd199415 (follow me on Twitter @kd199415)
To Doreen: There are lots of different kinds of MJ fans and all of them love him no matter what. If you buy the album or not, we are all fans and have our own reasons. Because nobody knows what would Michael want. Myself, I feel the same way as Ne-Yo, although I have listened to the album and love some of the songs. But I'm not buying it since Michael did not want to have anything to do with Sony. I just don't understand why Branca and McClain would sing a contract with Sony if they're suppose to act in Michael's name. Shame on them.
I like it too , its so up to date and when Michael thought these songs are not good enough, then for me it only shows what a genius he was.
For me its more then good enough i really enjoy `Michael`!
You know with tears in my Eyes

Hi Butterfly!
So true what you say about his genius.
I just believe Michael had become very insecure about his art, and the roots are to be found long ago. From the moment the critics reviewed "Bad" as no advancement in comparison to "Thriller" and when he received no single Grammy for that (fantastic) album he started to doubt his qualities. IMO this was also the reason for telling Quincy Jones good-bye. Michael never gained back the musical self-confidence he had had in his early years. And it was even more ****tered after the (Sony-caused) "Invincible"-mess. I believe he didn't quite dare to release new songs because he wasn't sure about his ability to realize what's good and bad anymore.
Wrong, as we see (or hear) now.
Maybe somebody should have forced Michael into the studio and told him resolutely "Michael! This-is-fine! This-is-great-music! Do-it! Release-it! Now!" Then again, the perfectionist Michael was wouldn't have let that happen. Sigh.
Michael has part ownership of Sony and the CD is very good.
It's better than any finished work out there and it supports
his children. I just wish Michael was here. Love You Forever
I agree with this guy. I sticking to the old Michael stuff too. No one wants to hear Akon on a MJ song.
For the people who don't get it...
Just because MJ's voice is on the album does not mean that it was in a state that he would have wanted it to be released.
The man used to micromanage his albums to the point where HE would have the final say as to whether it was his version of perfection. Millions agreed with him in this regard every time.
Releasing this album is downplaying his artistic genius to a significant degree. He was in no way an artist who merely lent his voice to a project. He WAS the project.
Those who are aware of the above fact will understand and boycott this album, as well as any other projects that they will attempt to plaster MJ's name on in the future.
Those who aren't obviously will lap up such half-hearted efforts to make money from MJ's name.

Seriously? Go buy White Gold. It may be eco-friendly, but it doesn't do what chalk should! This stuff has never worked for me, and buying it was a mistake. I know it's not supposed to come off on your hands like standard chalk, but it doesn't do anything about the moisture either!
I wouldn't use anything else, but an Eco Ball. It sucks all of the moisture out of your hands but doesn't leave the caky residue that normal chalk does. If you like a lot of 'White courage' (aka love to powder your hands with chalk before trying a hard climb) then this isn't for you. But If you care about the environment and simply like to take the moisture from your hands with out looking like you've been playing in flour get this. The Eco Ball doesn't leave a trace on the rocks so it's much better for the environment than normal chalk. I wouldn't use anything else!
I've never been much of an eco-freak, but I figured I'd turn over a new leaf. It turns out, I actually really like this stuff! It makes me feel like a better person that I'm not leaving white marks all over the rock!Now it just looks like i ran out of TP and went climbing. :-)
My brother got this, and we've both used it on our fingerboard. It definitely feels different than regular chalk, and it seems to leave your hands dry and somewhat sticky, even after washing them. It still works great, though, and allows you to chalk up a lot less. It also doesn't seem to get everywhere, which is convenient seeing as I've primarily used it indoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
When I test the example file on my local machine (offline), I get a following error: "SM2 failed to start. Flash missing, blocked or security error? Status: INIT _TIMEOUT"!
In most cases there is a security issue according to the flash file (swf). So you need to allow the swf file to communicate with your browser, just visit this website:
and add the folder to the list, I would just select a root folder, like your hard drive, so you will get no more issues with other flash files on your local machine.
Is it possible to listen to the music without interrupting it when changing the page?
You need to ajaxify your website where only a part of the site reloads when changing the page. You need to do this by your own, because its a functionality that needs to be hardcoded into your website. History.js is a nice open-source project for achieving that.

My top 5 lessons from Dr. Seuss
molly published this at 3:00 am
I was born with a congenital heart defect, and so I spent a LOT of time in hospitals until I had, at age four, the final open heart surgery operation (Tetralogy of Fallot) that corrected my malformed "ticker." With all of this time on my hands, I learned quickly how to lose myself in books, chief among them the work of Theodor Geisel.
As a child, I loved the whimsical sing-songy rhymes that knit his narratives together, but as I got older, I grew to appreciate the greater wisdom tucked into each stanza. Folks who spend a lot of time in the social space will see a couple of his quotes tweeted and retweeted (or quoted in updates, pinned via Pinterest etc.), but some of my favorite snippets of his don't get a lot of attention by comparison.
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
~ Dr. Seuss
I cited this quote in particular in an earlier post about The Benefits of Being Backwards and for good reason. When I was an art student, there were times when we were instructed to flip a panel upside down and paint/recreate it from the "upside down" perspective. In addition to flexing different centers of the brain, the results from the "upside down" copying session were usually more accurate than the right side up ones, because when we see something "right side up," we usually filter what we see as "reality" through own lens and interpretations of what we are "seeing." When forced to look at something in an unfamiliar frame of reference, we actually "see" more than that which is present than through what we presume through our filters.
But more to the point of the actual quote, nonsense is vital if we wish to remain open to possibility. By making space for the unplanned and the unorthodox, we allow for unforeseen resolutions of challenges we may be facing. Keep it loose. See what comes of it.
"Being crazy isn't enough." ~ Dr. Seuss
This isn't from a book. But I think it's important to include, because many times those who see themselves as operating outside the periphery think that it's simply enough to be Different for Different's Sake. No. Close, but no.
It's a start, certainly, because there are insights that can be drawn only from The Outside by the nature of its perspective. If you wish to make a difference, change happens when you ACT on your observations from the periphery. The edge.
Being "crazy" is one thing: effecting change is another. But once you have made the choice to implement your solutions based upon your observations, watch out for the next step…
"If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too." ~ Dr. Seuss, Oh the Places You'll Go
This is the part where you must have faith in yourself, your vision and your ability to withstand the flux of implementation. Once you begin to act, social physics kicks in and your world will begin to alter and shift in response to your actions. In the words of Dare, Dream, Do author Whitney Johnson, you have "disrupted yourself."
If you can hang in there, you will see that "Things That Start Happening" events will mold you into a stronger, more resilient person. You will become more compassionate. You will become more resourceful. You will expand to become your highest self.
"You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut." ~ Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
It is during this time that you MUST train yourself to look for opportunities and ask for the ability to recognize them. Ask daily. Keep an open mind. Albert Einstein has said that problems cannot be solved using the same method of thinking that created them (paraphrase). It is in this spirit that you MUST keep your eyes open, because as you are now in uncharted territory, you will not naturally be conversant with what's possible.
Learn how to tune in to the signals from your intuition, follow up on the opportunities that resonate with you and keep moving forward.
"I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues." ~ Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time, Seussian or no. One of the central truths I've learned is that all of our power, our talents and our insights are worthless if they are not leveraged to help another actualize and flex his or her own.
As we grow in knowledge and skills, it is incumbent upon ourselves to ask, "are we 'speaking' for those who have no voice?"
Being The Lorax means that you must be secure in yourself, your knowledge and your talents to withstand the onslaught of The Naysayers. It takes courage to stand your ground and speak for those who cannot, for whatever reason, speak for themselves.
The truly powerful understand that it is a privilege and responsibility to defend the weak. Simple as that.

Stafford Doc Williamson saidI always found the Lorax to be a little too "preachy" to enjoy as much as Dr. Giesel's earlier works. One of my favorite quotes is: "I meant what I said and I said what I meant… an elephant's faithful-one hundred percent" in the Dr. Suess classic "Horton Hatches the Egg".
However I do like the quote you picked from the Lorax. Both sentiments are worth trying to live by in any case. -

Dave Carr saidMy favorites: "Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!"and "Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you!"

"I do so like green eggs and ham!
Thank you! Thank you, Sam-I-am". ~ Dr. Seuss, Green Eggs And Ham."Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race" ~ Calvin Coolidge

Actually, only one of my 70's has a full 375 First Aid. All the other toons only go as high as they need to for access to using the high end bandages. I can always make them on my main, and mail them over easy enough, and I don't have to waste stacks of cloth skilling up. It is a bit easier in BC than it was pre-expansion, but I still don't see the need.

I went to get a manicure. The lady asked when I was due and I said "yesterday". You should have seen her eyes almost fall out of her head. You could tell she was afraid the whole time.
I'm a stinker, I said that on purpose. Yesterday was not my due date but hey, I gotta have fun sometimes.
Oh that's funny! Now I want a manicure! No... a pedicure, then she'll be at a better vantage point

Let freedom ring! Probably the symbol of freedom in this country, the Liberty Bell is rich with history and legend. Rang on July 8, 1776, the sound of this bell drew crowds of citizens to Independence Hall to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. Located across from Independence Hall, the bell resides in a glass museum and it is viewable at all hours of the day. If you are in Philadelphia in 2001, please add the Liberty Bell to your list of historical sights to see. This will be the last year that people will be able to take a picture standing next to the bell. Philadelphia is moving the bell about 50 feet to a new Museum and the bell will be sealed up in a glass case for distant viewing. The reason the city is doing this is because the bell has become fragile over the centuries and the acidity in the air is slowly deteriorating this National Treasure. Hours: Daily 9am-5pm. 9am-8pm in July and August. The bell is visible 24 hours a day. 215-597-8974

TO THE REVEREND DOCTOR WILLIAM GORDON.Head Quarters,Morristown, Dear Sir,I received some time ago your Letter of the 29th of February and 1st of March by Colo. Henley. From a multiplicity of important pressing business which I have had on hand, I was prevented from communicating it to Colo. Hamilton till yesterday. It was then put into his hands, as You will perceive by the Inclosure No. 1 & 2, a Copy of my Letter to him upon the occasion and his answer. While I must ascribe it to your politeness, I regret that the consideration of Colo. Hamilton's being a member of my family should have been a motive for bringing so disagreeable a business before me. The Gentlemen attached to me are upon the same footing with the other officers of the Army, and equally responsible for their conduct. You will pursue such a mode in the present case as you deem most effectual, but if you should think proper to exhibit any charge against Colo. Hamilton cognizable by a military tribunal, you have only to signify your wish and the time you will be able to produce your witnesses, and I shall proceed in it accordingly.1 As far as the temper and disposition of the several Courts of Europe are developed, and known to us, the assisting of G. Britain does not appear to be an object with them; and yet, if we are to form a judgment from report, and indeed from appearances, the King and his Ministers are firmly resolved to prosecute the War in America with unabating rigor—depending, it is to be presumed, upon the wretched state of our money, more than they do on the expectation of foreign aid. If the plan of finance adopted by Congress, should receive that general support which the exigency of the times loudly calls for, and which I hope and trust it will not fail to do, from every well wisher to his Country, I believe the foundation on which the enemy have superstructed their plans will give way, and leave the contrivers and authors of the present mischief to that punishment which an injured and deceived people are ready to inflict, and which the populace of England as well as Ireland seem now to be preparing. For this purpose a spirit is gone forth and is now manifesting itself, I hope, under ye appo. of Association Committees &c. That it may also be the harbinger of Peace to this distressed Country, I most fervently wish.1 For your good wishes, you will please to accept my sincere thanks. My best respects, in which Mrs. Washington joins, are presented to Mrs. Gordon—and compliments to all enquiring friends. I am, &c.2 [1 ]See "Writings of Alexander Hamilton" (Lodge's edition), vol. vii., pp. 570, 571, 586. [1 ]The impressions of the British ministry, respecting the condition of things in America, may be learned from the following extract: "All the private letters from the rebel countries are filled with representations of the general distress and sufferings of the people, the discontents of the troops, and the universal wish for peace. The middle provinces are said to be so disinclined to support the Congress, that no recruits are to be had, and the militia will not submit to be drafted. Their only resort for continuing the war seemed to be a foreign aid, which, however, has not yet been sent to them; and therefore I flatter myself you will have met but little interruption in your progress northward after the reduction of Charleston, and that you will have sufficient time to execute your plan in the Chesapeake, or at least to establish yourself there beyond the power of any force, which can be brought to dislodge you."—MS. Letter from Lord George Germaine to General Clinton, May 3d. [2 ]"The polite terms in which you mention the attention, which my respectful attachment for you dictated during your stay in camp, add to the obligation I feel for the honor of your visit. I was happy in that opportunity of giving you new proofs of my sentiments, and I entreat you to afford me others as frequently as possible. As the minister of a prince, to whom America owes so much, you have every title to my respect; and, permit me to add, your personal qualities give you a claim, which my heart cheerfully acknowledges, to all my esteem and all my regard. |

As someone who is neither a parent nor eight years old, I have no idea if Silly Bandz are still all the rage among children.
I do know that the toy is in the same vein as slap bracelets, Pogs, Tamigotchi, and Pokemon. Something I don't remember, however, is adults making "sexy" versions of my childhood toys. I mean, granted, there probably wasn't much leeway in terms of turning a Pog Slammer into something dirty (although "Pog Slammer" is an amazing porn name). And yet, somebody's decided that Silly Bandz needs a sexualized version for grown-ups who want to wear penis-and-boobie-shaped cheap jewelry on their wrists because, as it's asked in the ad for My Sexy Bandz (NSFW), "why should kids have all the fun?"
Answer: because Silly Bandz are for kids. Look, if you're going to throw a bachelor/ette party, there's always penis and boob-shaped pasta. And isn't that enough?

Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...NateshaMichiganBurned My HairIm an African American women with not so coarse hair. I guess my hair is fine to mediunm texture. I bought the Sedu about two months ago and every time I use it it seemed to have burned my hair. At first I thought it was because of the temperature that it was on. But after turning it to the lowest temperature and it still did the same thing I said enough!! Im really into healthy hair and was kinda upset when my hair was burned. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong but when I read the reviews, I saw that other women ran into the same problem. Im sure its a good iron if you have really thick coarse hair. Im going to exchange it for the chi iron in which I know works!!posted Nov 3, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...VictoriaFloridaAlmost Perfect!Ive had this flat iron for a few months now and my hair looks great! The only small problem Ive found is that I have to stop half way through doing my hair to let it reheat (even though it only takes a few seconds)- so its just about perfect to me! As recommended by my stylist, I do use a product to moisturize my hair when Im finsihed, like Biosilk or something similar. But- this flat iron hasnt damaged my hair at all so far! I love it!posted Oct 28, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...KrystaHouston,TXGreatI love this straightner it works better than anything I have ever used. And in Texas how hot and humid it is my hair never gets super frizzy and out of control like it use to. I even loan it to my friends and they love it they might want one too!!posted Oct 26, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...NikiPAExcellent!This flat iron is unbelievable. I have friends who have the Chi, which breaks after only a few months. I bought the Paul Brown, too, but wasnt too happy with it. Once I began using the Sedu, I fell in love with it! I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a great flat iron. No hair pulling, no burnt smell, quick heat up, adjustable temperature, no kinks...its amazing!posted Oct 10, 2004Link to this post

About Nathaniel Ramsey
Nathaniel Ramsey (May 1, 1741– October 23, 1817) was an American lawyer and soldier from Cecil County, Maryland. Ramsey fought in the Revolutionary War, and was a member of the Congress of the Confederation.
Ramsey was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was the elder brother of David Ramsay, though the brothers spelled their name differently. He graduated from the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) in 1767 and then read law. He settled in northeastern Maryland, and was admitted to the bar in Cecil County in 1771.
Ramsey was a delegate to the Maryland Convention (the revolutionary assembly) in 1775. In 1776 he joined the Continental Army as a captain in Colonel Smallwood's 1st Maryland Regiment, and went north in time to see action in the Battle of Long Island in August. In December he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and placed in command of the 3rd Maryland Regiment. He led them in the defense of Philadelphia in 1777.
At the Battle of Monmouth, in June 1778, Ramsey was asked by General Washington to stop the British advance after General Lee's initial retreat, and gain time for Washington to rally his other troops. He did so, but his regiment took heavy casualties. Ramsey himself was seriously wounded, left for dead, and taken prisoner. By the time he was exchanged, his regiment had gone south with General Nathanael Greene's forces. He returned to Maryland, and his only remaining military role was in recruiting. He retired from the army on January 1, 1781, and resumed the practice of law in Cecil County.
Ramsey moved to Baltimore, Maryland in 1783, and practiced law there. He represented Maryland in the Congress of the Confederation in New York in 1786 and 1787. After the establishment of the Federal government in 1789, President Washington appointed him the first U.S. Marshal for the District of Maryland, with his offices in Baltimore. He held this post from 1790 to 1798. In addition, he was named as Port Captain for Baltimore, serving from 1794 until his death in 1817. He died in Baltimore and is buried in Westminster Hall and Burying Ground.
He was the brother-in-law of artist Charles Willson Peale.

Historical Traveler Reviews Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan
Awesome Vacation Spot
My wife and I recently returned from an 8 day stay in Mazatlan. We stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan facility. I can't say enough good things about the hotel, the hotel staff or the city of Mazatlan. Even the time share speech and visit to the new Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay (we went voluntarily) was pleasant and low/no pressure. The weather was hot and humid but that's what we signed up for going in July. Our every request was met or exceeded by each member of the hotel staff. The food and drinks at the hotel were first class. We ate the hotel food and drank the water (from the tap) without any concern or ill effects. The people of Mazatlan were extremely friendly and helpful. The city is far less expensive than many other tourist destinations that we have gone to in Mexico and the Caribbean. I pulled a bonehead move and left my digital camera in a cab and the cab driver saw it and brought it back to the hotel!! Imagine that somewhere else. This was our first visit to Mazatlan and we will return. We have also spent time in Cancun and liked it but we will go back to Mazatlan over Cancun any day. We will also be staying at the Pueblo Bonito because it doesn't make sense to stay anywhere else...you couldn't get treated better.
Loved it will return
We stayed at Pueblo Bonito wow it was great and we went fishing it is the most reasonable price in the country we have fished in Jamica and Playadecarmen We caught 4 sailfish and 7 bonita 16 hrs of fishing for 600.00 for 3 people we fish with the bibi fleet.
Lovely Pueblo Bonito
Since 1993 we stayed in Mazatlan every year at different places ( timesharing ), but the very best place in all categories is the Pueblo Bonito!! We are coming again!!
Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan the best
My family and I are very pleased with the excellent accomodations and services from Pueblo Bonito. The staff is friendly and accomodating to their guest. I was not happy with my bed. I requested to have a softer bed and received a foam mattress pad. The mattress pad worked perfectly. The pad was thick and provided a lot of cushion. I was in a hurry to get to the airport that I accidently left my wallet in the hotels safe. I called the hotel and informed them of my situation.
Immediately, the concierge staff took a taxi and met with me at the airport and delivered my wallet. The concierge staff went beyond their dutys to assure that I received my wallet. I would recommend Pueblo Bonito its a beautiful hotel.
Absolutely outstanding
We booked our 8 day trip to Mazatlan after researching it extensively. We were extremely pleased with the hotel and staff. They were friendly, professional and most accomodating. The rooms were spacious and clean, although the beds were uncomfortably hard. When we arrived, I asked to upgrade to an ocean view on the 3rd floor. They did so most graciously and did not charge us for the upgrade. We went on the city tour and truely enjoyed it and stopped at El Shrimp Bucket for lunch. We also went on a time share tour of their new hotel, "Emerald Bay" and our tour guide did not pressure us and we received a nice lunch. Laying on the beach under the palapas was especially relaxing especially with the warm trade winds to cool us off. We also enjoy the 3 pools and hot tub. The swim up bar was especially fun. It's also a great place for families. On Wednesday, we went to the pool party ($18 per person), which was a bargain, since it was all you can eat and drink from 7-10. We also went to the Mexican Fiesta at Playa Mazatlan Hotel, again all you can eat and drink and the food was fabulous. They put on quite a show. ($26 per person). The best way to get around is the pulmonia. It looks like a golf cart and very inexpensive. We also jet skied for $40 a half hour. And the parasailing was only $25 per person. In Cabo it was $60 per person. All in all it was a fabulous vacation. Alot cheaper than Cabo San Lucas. We will definately go back. I highly reccomend it.
Loved Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan
Just returned from our first trip to Mazatlan. What a fabulous place! We stayed at the Pueblo Bonito in Mazatlan and found it very enjoyable (myself and my three kids). The service was wonderful, the staff warm and helpful (they make you learn a little Spanish!). We were treated very well and will return.Mazatlan itself is warm, friendly and fun. Be careful the week before Easter as it's Holy Week, and this is the city the people of Mexico vacation in. It was getting very crowded before we left, but it was nice to experience as well.....I wouldn't recommend going during holy week if you are impatient with traffic!Make sure to check out Gus Gus and the Shrimp Factory (more expensive but lots of shrimp and lobster). Joes Oyster Bar is the happening night spot, as is Bora Bora.The pulmania's are the best transport, just negotiate your price before you get in....if you don't like the price tell them to forget it, they will agree with yours if it's reasonable! Hope you like Rap and Techno, they play it a lot!I read the reveiw from the person who said they were ripped off with Emerald Bay (also a Pueblo Bonito property)....I'm not sure how. The time share presentation was to the point and clear, they documented everything they told us. That hotel is the MOST beautiful place in the area...it's utterly amazing. Only problem is it's about ten minutes north of the north end of the hotel/golden zone, so transportation would have to be well planned.Go, it's a great time.
Oh Those Beds!
We stayed at the resort in November for 4 nights.Our room was spacious and the ocean sounds were great, but the room was on the extreme end of the hotel and we had a view of parking lots, not the lovely landscaped views from most rooms.The beds were so hard I had a sore rib for a couple weeks. I would request a room closer to the middle of the resort next time, and hopefully the beds will be softened up...
Great vacation
Just returned from trip. Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan was very nice--lots of real Mexican flavor and very comfortable--except for the beds!! They were a mattress on a slab of concrete.
Home Away From Home
We have stayed at Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan 3 times in the last 6 years and the excellence of the service has never deviated. The resort is maintained in top shape and the employees are delightful. The restaurants are also excellent. We are going back again this December to our "home away from home".
Loved the Pueblo Bonito, going back this Christmas!
Had a lovely Junior Suite with a view of the other side of the hotel and the pool. This tme we have requested an ocean view, even offered to upgrade to a luxury suite! I will let you know what this time is like when we get back. Some really good restaurants to eat at in Mazatlan, too!

Finally a place to eat in PV!
Peninsula Grill at the top of the hill in Palos Verdes - in the mall there - was a great surprise. I have been trying to find a place for months now to eat that was not mediocre at best. Peninsula Grill was good and has great prices. We went there for lunch. They have a great patio where you can bring your dog - that was why we went there after to calling several restaurants in Redondo to no avail.
I had the Indian Spiced Chicken Salad sandwich. It was in a warm pita - a thin pita not too thick which was perfect. None of the sides sounded appealing to me - fries, potato salad or melon salad - so they were happy to give me a side green salad instead. My friend had the fish tacos and really liked them. It was a simple grilled fish - not fried - with a green salsa.
The wine selection could be better - but it isn't bad.
The prices are wonderful. Our sandwiches were both under $10 each and the portions are large
But I am still left wondering in such a beautiful and upscale area, why does Palos Verdes have such awful restaurants? I am told that restaurants open and close - do people not eat out there???
i think the answer is that everybody in PV eats out in torrance, the beach cities, etc. palos verdes doesn't have the population to support tons of eateries. that's why the shops at palos verdes is like a ghost town whenever i rarely visit.
that aside, i actually have to confess to liking the appetizer for subs, lamppost pizza for beer and a slice, and occasionally fu yuan lo for some westernized chinese food circa 1980. maybe it's nostalgia.
re: Foodandwine
i agree that Bamboo Song has the tastiest pho in the area. Much better than the pho shop in Penn center and the ones on hawthorne and the ones on crenshaw in Torrance and even further north in Gardena).
I did recently discover a relatively new to the area Pho SO1 corner of redondo beach blvd and western in gardena. Huge menu. Had the curry chicken with rice vermicelli instead of the french roll. AWESOME. Too much chicken in the bowl! Asked for extra limes and an extra basil and mint plate. Ice coffee with milk was smooth and delicious (Most places have the rough taste and after taste) Next visit will try the pho the bun or rice plate. Restaurant clean and staff friendly. Would be awesome if no longer had to drive to SGV
I've lived in PV all my life. I grew up riding and became an engineer!! Does anyone remember the old Hungry Tiger? It was located approximately where the Burger King is now (on top of the hill). My favorite place? Bamboo Song (inbetween the library and Promendade/Avenues/Whatever-it's-called-this-year). Love, love, love their pho. I get the chicken. Every time.

Here is a link to the original review which put it on CH's radar:
There was another shorter review with a few caveats which can be found here:
re: OC Mutt
musha's on carson and western (add the whole mitsuwa plaza with santouka ramen and katsu shop)
iccho on crenshaw and PCH (next to the CPK)
koraku in same plaza next to nijiya market
gaja (okonomoyaki joint) on lomita between crenshaw
kotosh (peruvian japanese, across from gaja)Italian
Il Chianti (24503 Narbonne Ave, Lomita - Japanese style Italian) - my new favorite!!!Chinese:
Shanghai Palace (PCH between Hawthorne and Crenshaw)
Harbor Palace
Regal Palace (eh, so so dim sum)pretty much a lot of Chinese and Japanese places as suited to the minority groups most prevalent in the Southbay

This Week's Contestant
Maurissa S.
Theme: | Hawaii Week |
Hometown: | San Diego, CA |
Week of: | 02-27-2012 |
It's finally game time! The day I've been waiting for, for almost 20 years now! I'm still in utterly shock that I'm standing on a platform on the set of my favorite game show, Wheel of Fortune!!! I had been selected for "Hawaii Week"! It couldn't get any better than that. Now, only if I can shake these nerves off before we went on air would be a lifesaver! The contestant coordinators did tell us to keep smiling, but I'm sure they didn't mean with a silly half smile that was glued to my face for the entire show. I guess it was better to smile than to frown in which I did have a lot to smile about.
I will say it would have been great to meet Pat Sajak before we went on air. At least, that's what I thought would happen so I wouldn't be "star-struck" once he was right in front of me. That was wishful thinking. After all these years of watching the show, I really thought meeting Pat on air was an act it's definitely not! He had asked about my son and I remember replying, "Yes, I have a very happy and energetic 7 year old". I didn't even say my son's name. I felt so bad. It was happening again... My nerves were taking over and I was stumbling over this simple introduction! We hadn't even started the actual game yet!
Luckily for me, he moved on to the next contestant and after that it was toss- up time! I grabbed my buzzer and I thought I was ready. I definitely wasn't! I stood there in total shock. Hopefully I didn't do this on the next Toss-Up. And sure enough, I was stuck again. The other contestants were solving these puzzles left and right. It was a breeze to them! During commercial break, we were given water and the make-up artist patted our faces down and touched us up. It was like we were in a boxing ring for the championship. It was pretty similar. I mean, we were all there to win. Regardless if we were all backstage getting to know each other and exchanging email addresses, this was still a competition. At that point, I started realizing I needed to get it together quick. I came here to win! And with that thought in mind, I solved my first puzzle and another one after that! I also landed on the $1 million dollar wedge! I couldn't believe it! I was determined to make it to the Bonus Round.
The prize puzzle was really what I had been waiting for. There's no worse feeling than knowing a puzzle when it's not your turn. As soon as the other contestant couldn't solve, I had to solve it immediately. It was, "WASHED UP SHELLS ON THE BEACH"! I just won a trip to Costa Rica!!! Are you kidding me??? I've never even been out of the country! This was the best feeling in the world. Unfortunately, I didn't make it on to the bonus round, but it didn't matter to me. I just won a trip and some cash! I didn't even know how much I won until the very end of the show because I was just too excited about finally solving the puzzles! This is by far the best experience I have ever had and I'm so thankful for the staff and giving me the opportunity to audition, play and win! Friends and family still ask me if I'd do it all over again...My answer: IN A HEARTBEAT! Thank you, Wheel of Fortune!
