I think I always have been drawn to photography because I want to construct a perfect world. I want to try to create this moment that is separate from the chaos of my life, and to do that I think I create enormous disorder. And I like that craziness because I think that it creates almost a sort of neurotic energy on the set, and through that there is a moment of transportation. And in all my pictures what I am ultimately interested in is that moment of transcendence or transportation, where one is transported into another place, into a perfect, still world. Despite my compulsion to create this still world, it always meets up against the impossibility of doing so. So, I like the collision between this need for order and perfection and how it collides with a sense of the impossible. I like where possibility and impossibly meet.
Gregory Crewdson, from an interview on Egg (pbs.org)

Lisa Hendley should have been the poster child for the Bloomberg administration's five-year plan to end homelessness. After spending time in a domestic-violence shelter, the 26-year-old mom had found herself and her daughter a place to live with the help of Housing Stability Plus, the mayor's new program to aid shelter residents in renting private apartments. And she'd landed a job packing groceries for Fresh Direct, the first step on the road off of public assistance.
And then, she recalls, she was told by her city caseworker that she needed to quit. Her $8-an-hour job, it turned out, gave her too much income to be eligible for the new program's housing aid. Faced with the choice of keeping her job or her apartment, she chose the roof over her family's head.
It was an embarrassing moment for the mayorespecially when city councilmembers paraded Hendley before the cameras in early May to point out the need to reform city housing programs. But, say the legal-aid attorneys who handle housing complaints, stories like Hendley's have become all too common as HSP, one of the linchpins of Bloomberg's war on homelessness, enters its second year. "Almost all my walk-in emergencies have been people with HSP on the verge of being evicted again," says Karen Takach, housing unit director for Legal Services for New York City in the Bronx. "In my experience, it's been a disaster. Rather than decreasing homelessness, I think it's going to be a revolving door back to shelters."
The troubles began in 2004, when the Bush administration effectively scuttled Section 8, the federal voucher program that helped homeless families pay the rent on private apartments. With city shelter stays already soaring, the Bloomberg administration crafted Hous- ing Stability Plus, a state-managed, city- implemented program, to fill the gap; then-homeless-services commissioner Linda Gibbs bragged that it was "the most significant discretionary rental- assistance program in the city's history."
It's hard to find people served by the program who'd agree. "I don't know who invented it, but it's a big mess," says Miosotis Aponte, a Monroe College criminal justice student and mother of six who was initially thrilled when the city told her it could get her an apartment in one week. "I've been in the program for a year, and right now I have two eviction notices. It's not a safe program, because any time you could be back on the streets."
The trouble, say both those seeking housing and their advocates, stems from two major changes from the old program. For example, Section 8 was open-ended, but HSP comes with a time limit: Each year, tenants face a 20 percent reduction in aid (called a "stepdown"), until after five years the housing aid evaporates entirely. The other difference is that unlike Section 8, the new program is linked to welfare benefitsmeaning that if your public assistance is cut off for any reason, your rent check goes with it.
Put the two together, legal-aid attorneys say, and you have a situation in which people are expected to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, but if they tug too hard, they lose it altogether. "It's a very narrow window to be able to make enough to cover the stepdown without knocking yourself off of public assistance entirely," says Ed Josephson, housing-law unit director for South Brooklyn Legal Services. "That would get you through year twoand then year three you'd still be dead, because if you're making enough to cover the 40 percent, you're making too much for public assistance."
There's some dispute as to whether the window is as narrow as all that. Heidi Siegfried, supervising attorney for the Partnership for the Homeless, suggests that if someone were to piece together food stamps, child care aid, and the earned-income tax credit, even a low-wage job should provide enough income to pay the bills without the need for HSP. But Siegfried readily acknowledges that she can't name people who have actually done this. "I wish we had more success stories," she says.
Failure stories, meanwhile, are everywhere you look. Haneefah Bilal, who shares a one-bedroom HSP apartment in the Bronx with her two children, says she'd love to go back to work, but like Hendley, she can't afford to. "I've sat down with a calculator and said, 'This is how much I'd make a month.' Look at my rent. Add it all upI could not do it."
Bilal, who landed in a city shelter after fleeing an abusive relationship, says it was bad enough that HSP forced her to go on public assistance for the first time in her life, which meant closing out her bank accounts and her children's college fund. To now be told that anything but a minimum-wage job would cost her her apartment is the last straw. "I'm a certified nursing assistant," she says, her voice rising with incredulity. "I can get a job with no problem. And you're telling me I have to work at McDonald's? Are you serious?"
Bilal, at least, has kept up with her rent payments, though that could change once she hits her first 20 percent stepdown, which could come as early as this month. With most HSP clients only now beginning their second year, housing attorneys note that they're not yet seeing many stepdown-related cases, since landlords are unlikely to boot tenants immediately so long as they're still paying most of their rent. Instead, what they've found is a flood of complaints related to the program's link to welfare benefits.

The house itself provided some direction. Built in the '30s as a hunting lodge for residents of the city's tony Hancock Park neighborhood, it had a cabin-like feel—dark-wood beams and earth tones—that immediately inspired Ariel. "I wanted to capture that bohemian feeling—and then add a modern twist to it," Ariel says. "But if I went too rustic, it would look a bit shacky; at the same time, if I went too polished, it would look cold." From the Summer 2008 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

People wake up. Those people we have sent to represent us need a big wake up call. They are not representing us they are being spoiled brats. They all need to feel the pressure of the real world. They should be fired and have to pick up the pieces of their lives instead of putting us in harm's way with their bullheaded antics.
You can put any slant on it you want, but as a predecessor to our golfing leader once said: "the buck stops here." Those of you who voted for this man, ask yourselves truthfully if you believe you made a mistake.
I drove up the Midland Trail (Route 60) from the Chelyan bridge to Boomer, the same route many tourists travel. Sorry to say, but anyone driving this particular stretch of highway is not going to be impressed with "Wild and Wonderful" WV.
What the president should do, concerning the economy, is tell Congress to pass a bill concerning spending cuts and revenue enhancements, and if he likes it, he'll sign it, if not, he'll veto it. That would put the onus directly on Congress to enact laws, which is their job.
The Democrats are certainly correct in submitting the bill to limit the salaries of those who are not licensed to practice law in the state. Too bad the Republicans did not do it first. As a Republican I supported McGraw as I did not want this "pretend" West Virginian to hold state office.
Its absurd that the public has to comment on whether we should allow more toxic selenium into our drinking water. Does anyone want to have tumors whacked out of their body, do we want cancer, do we want children with their eyes on the same side of their head? I would hope legislators know the answers.

Morningside College hosts "Pursuing Victory with Honor Summit" on Oct. 20
Iowa State University Basketball Coach Greg McDermott will be the keynote speaker for the "Pursuing Victory with Honor Summit" scheduled for the Morningside College campus on Tuesday, October 20.
Sponsored by Character Counts in Iowa, a non-profit organization based in Des Moines, the fifth annual summit will bring together student athletes in grades 8 through 12, coaches and administrators for a daylong series of programs and activities designed to strengthen character and encourage leadership. This is the first time the summit has been held in western Iowa. Previous summits have been hosted at the University of Northern Iowa, Drake University, University of Iowa and Iowa State University.
McDermott, who will begin his fourth season as head basketball coach at ISU, will speak during the summit's opening session at 9 a.m. in Eppley Auditorium, 3625 Garretson Avenue, on the Morningside College campus.
Morningside coaches, staff and faculty will lead breakout sessions during the morning on topics such as dealing with adversity, achieving goals, setting high standards, gender and leadership effectiveness, and building character through sports. Representatives from the South Sioux City Community School District, Heelan High School, the Waitt Institute for Violence Prevention and the juvenile court division of Iowa's Third Judicial District also will lead sessions.
To view descriptions of breakout sessions and to register for the summit online go to www.CharacterCountsInIowa.org.
In addition to Character Counts in Iowa, other summit sponsors include Morningside College, Iowa Health System, the Iowa Games and the Iowa National Guard.

With the San Francisco Giants sweeping the Detroit Tigers right out of the World Series, the offseason is officially under way. It opens with free agents filing for their independence, as early as 8 a.m Central.
So today we'll take a look at A.J. Pierzynski's free agency case. The White Sox sound like they might be ready to move on, with Rick Hahn saying Tyler Flowers is ready for an expanded role (he would be saying that anyway, because, you know, leverage). During Fox's postgame show, Pierzynski said that he's looking for the Tigers to make it back to the World Series next year, so maybe his mind has left the AL Central, too.
At any rate, let's see what his case is all about.
Last contract: The White Sox signed Pierzynski to a backloaded two-year, $8 million contract, earning $6 million in 2012. It was a paycut for Pierzynski, who earned a little over $6 million over his previous three-year contract.
How did he do: The two seasons covered by this contract look nothing alike. The transformation is pretty stunning.
Year | G | PA | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | BB | SO | GDP | ||||
2011 | 129 | 500 | 38 | 133 | 29 | 1 | 8 | 48 | 23 | 33 | .287 | .323 | .405 | 94 | 19 |
2012 | 135 | 520 | 68 | 133 | 18 | 4 | 27 | 77 | 28 | 78 | .278 | .326 | .501 | 118 | 8 |
He set or tied career highs in homers, walks, RBI, slugging percentage and OPS thanks to a retooled approach centered on making better contact, even if it resulted in less contact overall. It worked. While he swung and missed more, he also tapped into far fewer double plays. And then there are the homers.
His defense is another story. He did improve his caught-stealing percentage thanks to the Sox staff giving a crap about slowing down the running game, but the gains in that category were negated by his deteriorating pitch-blocking abilities.
Did he earn his money? Yup, and it's kinda funny that his performance was backloaded to match his contract. FanGraphs puts him at 1.4 WAR in 2011, and 3.4 WAR in 2012 (Baseball-Reference.com has him at 0.3 and 2.6), and even if you come down on him hard for his defense, it's still not an argument. He provided an awful lot of bang for the buck.
Free agent peers: For better or for worse, Pierzynski is hard to compare to others. Mike Napoli and Russell Martin are the only other starter options on the market, and neither are similar. They're both low-average, right-handed hitters who can draw 50+ walks a year with power. And Napoli has never caught 100 games in a season (72 last year).
On the other hand, Pierzynski is five years older than either player, and he's coming off an outlier of a season offensively while his defensive decline is steady. He's also widely despised around the league, although I think most teams that have nothing at catcher could make him work, even if his reputation precedes him. I imagine the only real complications would arise if his new manager thought about splitting time behind the plate.
Reasonable price?* This is a tough one. He'll definitely get a raise over his previous deal, but I'd imagine teams would want to avoid a three-year deal for 36-year-old catcher, especially one who might pose extra complications if he's underperforming -- or if his defense slides into unacceptability.
But even with his question marks, he's still the best bet to offer offense as a full-time catcher of the free-agent crop, so he could benefit from desperate teams bidding against each other. Does two years, $12 million walk the line between the risks and rewards?
(*With the new TV deal, a number of teams may be inspired to open their wallets wide, and that could force us to adjust upward in a hurry.)

Bungling bargain hunter Peter Frank wrote off his brand new 35,000 GBP Jeep after driving hundreds of miles to get it a knockdown price.
Frank, 37, had driven from the Czech Republic to Germany to avoid crippling import duties in his homeland.
But his dream shattered when the trailer he was hauling the top-of-the range Grand Cherokee on flipped, smashing his new motor onto its roof in the crash in Oldenburg.
"I could have had one just like it round the corner from where I live but wanted to save the taxes," groaned Frank.
"It would have cost me more, but at least it would have worked, this one is a write off," he added.
