Traffic concerns halt Chineham homes plan
5:00pm Tuesday 5th February 2013 in News By Gazette reporter
PLANS for a dozen houses near Chineham have failed to gain approval because of worries about access and school traffic.
Members of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council's development control committee voted to defer a decision so talks can take place to sort out the problems with the applicant Miller Homes.
The site in question is a 3.9-hectare area north of Great Binfields Road and next to Great Binfields Primary School and The Hampshire Court Hotel.

Growler fill from GBX. Cracked it while brewing up a batch in the garage. Poured into DRH Snifter. Great looking beer with generous off white head and good lacing throughout. Smell is of dark fruits, chocolate, figs, rosted malts and a touch of burnt wood/smoke. Looks and smells like a trappist ale. Taste was quite unique and fantastic. Get a big rush of the dark fruits, figs and malts on the front with a subtle floral hop finish. Reminds me of a SB Apt 12, without the alcohol hit. That is a compliment to keep the big bold BDA flavors and make it quite sessionable. Feel was rich and creamy with a touch of silk and perfect carbonation. A tough brew to sit down. Overall- A great beer with a lot going for it. Enjoyed the flavors and malts that were balanced well. The name is a bit misleading, as I don't see this as a porter, but an easy drinking surprise that I hope to hit again. A sleeper that is a must try.

Sampled at the brewery - 6/8/2010.
Murky & dark ruby-brown in color. Aroma is full of roasted & chocolate malts. Taste is rich dark chocolate with a slightly smoky & bitter finish. Cannot really detect the Belgian influence, which I would assume to be the yeast used, but regardless, this is a fine & delicious brew.

Reviewed from my notes:
A: Dark brown with almost no head when poured into pint glass by waiter.
S: Sweet malt, coffee and hint of chocolate.
T: Definitely sweet malt dominates with a touch of vanilla as well as chocolate and coffee.
M: Full bodied with mild carbonation.
O: Full flavor and full body describe this Belgian dark ale. Very enjoyable and I will seek it out again.

Growler shared by Dan - thanks!
Pours a dark purplish-black color with a one-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of ripe plums and figs backed by solid amounts of smooth roasted malt and hints of dark chocolate.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Robust roasted malt flavors with large amounts of dark chocolate flavors kick things off. Joining in shortly thereafter are solid amounts of crisp dark fruit flavors - plums and figs with hints of pears. The fruit flavors fade slightly into the background, allowing the malt flavors to carry through to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I had no problems finishing my glass and could easily have a few more.
Overall I was a fan of this beer. Whereas most Belgian Porters or Stouts I've tasted skew more toward the lighter fruit flavors I found this to be more of a blend of a BSDA and Imperial Porter. An interesting beer that's well worth a shot.

Another new one from Thomas Creek . I was eagerly awaiting its arrival. I had heard very good things and could not wait. Well when it showed up on tap you know I had to be all over it. Big pour here, much bigger then I expected as it comes out dark as night with a huge tan head that is maybe four inches high at its zenith. Slowly trickling down it leaves a ton of lacing in its wake with a really rocky and cratered cap along the rim of the glass. First hints of roasted malts, smoky with a good bit of rich molasses and caramel coming through now. Well rounded with a great balance to the profile. Hints of dark fruit, a touch of light chocolate coming up as it warms now. Velvet like feel is great for coating the mouth and providing a great soothing flavor. Rich dark chocolate, smoked, campfire like notes and a sweetness that comes through on the finish that just caps it off wonderfully.
Overall this may be my favorite from them to date. Rich, well balanced and just wonderfully put together.

Presentation: Poured into a pint glass(I know, tomorrow I'll use my tulip) and as a result will probably have to update my review. I've already had a few 'quality' DIPA's and this taste may be skewed. THANKS to GREEN's off Piney Grove in Columbia for this FABULOUS GROWLER!
A: Pitch black, but I have no daylight to see through. Nice thick, fluffy, 3+ finger light tan head that dies down but leaves just as thick lacing.
S: Hints of roasted malts, some belgian yeast aromas, and chocolate.
T&M: Medium bodied, maybe on the lighter side. Definitely more of a porter and lighter than a 'Dark Belgian', somewhat watery on the finish. Dark chocolate feel and smoother than one would expect from a dark belgian. It just fades with a bit of a fizzle. Hints of dark fruit and mild roasted malts. Finishes semi-dry.
Very good overall. I would have to say that it is tops for any dark belgian or porter that I have had. Not a favorite style of mine, but definitely the best Thomas Creek offering I have had to date. Quality product that is absolutely worth a try.

Thomas Creek Dirty Monk on tap at The Wineshop at RiverGate in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Appearance: Very black! Very low carbonation, faint lacing. Thin for a porter.
Smell: Roasted malts, some coffee and chocolate. Very light in the nose, though.
Taste: Richer than smell and mouthfeel, but still light. Tea aromas. A bit of a Black IPA (and what on earth is a "Belgian Porter" anyway?)
Mouthfeel: Upfront carbonation that recedes soon. Bitterness lingers in the mouth. Medium body.
Drinkability: Very drinkable. I could chug a growler! A little watery but tasty nonetheless. I had never heard of "Belgian Porters" but can't wait to try more. Nothing earth-shattering here but fine.

Served from growler into a Delerium Tremens snifter. Poured deep dark brown with a one finger tan head that subside to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, chocolate, nutmeg, and a subtle piney hop note. The flavor was of roasted malt, subtle hops, slight coffee, and cream. It had a medium feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this one was pretty good for a Belgian porter, but wasn't great. I do however prefer some of the other Thomas Creek offerings over this one, but this is also not my favorite style either. Good for what it is and worth trying for any fan of the style.

A fire that started in a pick-up truck Wednesday morning ended up spreading to a house, causing damage to the garage.
The vehicle fire happened just after 7 a.m. on Deerhead near Midland Road in Tittabawassee Township.
The owner of the truck says he used his remote start to warm the diesel truck up and it then burst into flames.
An off duty firefighter saw the fire when it started spreading to the garage, and called 911.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the truck is totaled.

Despite picking up some pleasing results in the cup competitions, United have endured a tough start to the Barclays Premier League title defence with back-to-back defeats at Manchester City and at home against West Brom.
Rafael says Wednesday's hard-fought 1-1 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk has boosted the squad ahead of Saturday's trip to struggling Sunderland, with a victory the Reds' only focus.
"The cup competitions have gone well for us, we have done well there. But we are all focused on the next game because we need to win again in the league," the Brazilian told ManUtd.com.
"Results like Wednesday's help you. It was a good result for us. We started well and scored, and they didn't have many chances to score, maybe only one or two. We defended well apart from their goal.
"Everyone has confidence in each other and trusts each other. I see that every day in training," he added. "The spirit is fantastic. We just need to stay focused in every game and make sure we get the results now."

The three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate produced plenty of fodder for the Twittersphere to buzz about. Here are some of the best tweets from the first debate Oct. 3 in Denver.
This is one of many Big Bird-related messages tweeted during the debate.
Vice President Joe Biden came out swinging in the vice presidential debate Oct. 11 in Danville, Ky., after a lackluster performance by President Barack Obama the week before.
A much more aggressive Obama showed up to the second presidential debate Oct. 16 in Hempstead, N.Y., which was a town hall style Q&A with undecided voters.
Obama and Mitt Romney clashed over foreign policy at several points during the final presidential debate Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla.

A group of Albuquerque students spent their summer learning a new language. Not just a new language, but a completely new alphabet.
They say it's necessary for our global world. Now, they're hoping other students will follow their lead.
Carlo Aragon learned to speak Arabic as a high school exchange student. He's been to Egypt and Oman, and now, he's helping other students do the same.
"A lot of students in New Mexico do not get out of the state," Aragon said. "After 9/11, we do not have enough people who actually speak critical languages."
That's where the National Security Language Initiative for Youth comes into play. Created in 2006, it's a government initiative to prepare students to become leaders in an ever-changing global world.
"The scholarship covers everything, the flight's free, tuition is free, everything is free. It's a full scholarship for students," Aragon said.
Students like Sandia High School senior Megan Higgins. Megan was one of six Albuquerque students selected from more than 3,000 applicants. She spent the summer in China.
"I would really like to become a foreign services officer for the U.S. Department of State," she said.
But, it's certainly not easy.
"You have to learn an entire new alphabet; an entire new vocabulary system." Aragon said.
Aragon says it's not only rewarding, but it's necessary to understand other, unique cultures.
"You have to change your entire mindset. By doing that, I was able to understand, really what Arabic culture was like. What Islam culture was like." he said. "It opens up so much."
The languages offered in this intensive program are Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Korean, Persian, Russian and Turkish. For more information visit: http://www.nsliforyouth.org.

ANNOUNCEMENTSThis is a blessedly quiet ship. The Captain's informative, brief daily report at Noon every day is the only in-cabin announcement. His microphone technique is very good. Afternoon naps are quiet and restful, not like some ships with endless announcements.There is one announcement missing, and we do not miss it. On almost every other ship we've been on, there is a LOUD recording attending your every elevator ride, announcing the approaching floor. On the Journey, a small video screen announces the floor, and lets one know if people are getting on or off. This boon is probably a result of the size of the Journey, there being so many fewer people to move around.COFFEETastes like instant would be a compliment. Not up to the standards of a freshly branded, self proclaimed ?premium? cruise line. We were on RCCL's (parent of Celebrity/Azamara) Radiance of the Seas in the fall of ?06 and they were featuring Seattle's Best Coffee and it was truly premium and available everywhere from the dining rooms to room service at no charge. The only decent coffee on the Journey is at the Cova coffee bar, with a $3 charge. Wake up and smell the coffee, Azamara senior management! You seem to be striving to be almost Crystal; Crystal light, so to speak, but Crystal doesn't charge for designer coffee anymore. The food is good on this ship and the coffee should be as well.COVA CAFEis the designer coffee place. Our thanks to Ryan, Alexander, Maria and Eliana, who brew great lattes for the three dollars we have to pay. There are always pastries and little sandwiches and other goodies at the Cova. We tended to retreat to the quiet of the Cova during the day and its piano bar feeling at night.ENTERTAINMENTWe enjoy piano player/song stylist Dan Daly who is in the Cova Cafe, at the piano from 9P until late, most evenings. The Azamara trio plays nightly in the Looking Glass lounge. They have a great repertoire in all the musical genres. Guitarist German Vilches and Harpist Melissa Calusio also entertain in different venues. Melissa also plays for tea, afternoons in the Aqualina Restaurant, and German sits in on his guitar during the jam sessions. There were solo violinists, pianists, a couple of singers, a Chilean Folklorico Troupe and a comedian/raconteur headlining in the Cabaret theater, which is the main showroom. The accent on entertainment seems to be more in a classical soloist vein. THAT?S HOLLYWOODAn excellent show in the Cabaret theatre. Simply staged and beautifully sung by five talented, young performers, the men are K.J. and Brandon; the women Brooke, Amanda-Jane and Natalie. The show is a tribute to the music and lyrics throughout cinematic history. We enjoyed it immensely. The 7 piece Journey orchestra provided live music for this well paced show. It's a cabaret setting, much like a night club rather than a theater, giving the show a nice intimacy with good sight lines. This show is a wonderful change of pace from the typically over produced (too many singers and dancers, too many wardrobe changes) Broadway type shows that seem to try too hard, which we have seen on some cruise ships. The sound design and levels were good, allowing us to hear everything without it becoming too loud. Kudos to all involved, from the talented singers to the technical crew. MORE ENTERTAINMENTThere are two other shows done in this manner, ?Twisted TV?, a parody of guess what?, and ?Sing It and Swing It?, a tribute to the big band era. JAZZThere were 2 late evening (10:45PM) jam sessions in the Looking Glass lounge, with some members of the orchestra and other musicians on board playing Jazz from Antonio Carlos Jobim to Thelonius Monk. FALKLAND ISLANDS/PORT STANLEYOur first stop after leaving Buenos Aires: Port Stanley, the capital of the Falklands. Rough seas and bad weather got us there late, then we waited for clearance and after the people who had purchased excursion tickets were tendered, we managed to get off around 3:30PM. The last tender back was changed to 7:15 PM making for a very short time in a unique place. The sun came out and we wandered around in short sleeves. We checked with the visitors? center about seeing some penguins and were told about the penguin bus (the sign on the minibus says Penguin Travel) that stops right at the parking lot of the center. Ten dollars US per person for a round trip, 15 minute each way, van ride to Gypsy Cove, where we saw many penguins.The penguins are in an area that is cordoned off, because there might still be some Argentine land mines from the ?82 war on the beautiful beach. (They thought the British might land troops there. Didn't happen.) The area was swept for mines after the war but the possibility remains that they were not all found, so the area is restricted by signs and fencing.A group of several hundred penguins were gathered, sunning themselves on the beach, others of them swimming around close to shore, and smaller groups were up in the scrubby dunes between the walking trail and the beach. They were cute and plentiful, and some of them walked up so close to the observation point where we were that we got some excellent photos of these dear little birds. The other penguin excursions (from the ship) were very expensive (as much as $200 dollars) and required bone shaking rides of 60 to 90 minutes to see a different type of penguins. Some cruisers expressed the thought that those less accessible birds were indeed ?better?.This price disparity brought to mind the high priced Alaska excursions to glaciers versus taking the city bus in Juneau for a couple of bucks to the edge of Mendenhall Glacier. There are always options, even in a place as small as the Falklands, population around 3,000. Our driver, Fiona, gave us a nice ride to the penguins and told us a bit about the Falklands. Children born here have the option at age 16 to leave for more secondary and university education, anywhere they wish, that is at least partly paid for by the Falklands government. Now that's a government truly in action. The kids do not even have to repay the kindness with a few years of social service, they have only to develop themselves as they wish and graduate!Across the harbor is a monument on the low hills with the names of the British protector ships that won the Falklands war, and even now there is always a British warship anchored in the harbor or patrolling the area.SMALL SHIP CRUISINGWe like this small ship a lot. It is easy to get anywhere quickly. The ambience is that of a boutique hotel. The bad news is that in order to make it profitable, Azamara has to charge more for drinks and excursions because of the fewer passengers on board. DRINK PRICESThere is no wine package. The soft drink card is $5.00 per day plus 18%. The cheapest jug level glass of wine, with the tip, is nearly nine dollars and change. High prices for vin ordinaire. Mixed drinks are high priced and martinis are around 12 dollars. You're allowed to bring in a couple of bottles of wine per passenger, which we did in Ushuaia (first port out of Antarctica; southernmost city in the world).HOUSEKEEPINGThis ship is clean. Not just picked up and vacuumed. Cleaning and polishing goes on 24/7. Kudos to housekeeping supervisor Esta from Hungary.ELEPHANT ISLAND, ANTARCTICAWe listened to expert Niki Sepsas relate the story of the harrowing adventure of the Shackelton expedition. The captain sailed us back and forth slowly past Elephant Island, giving everyone a chance to take a good look and get an excellent photo opportunity. It's starkly beautiful here, very much like Alaska. There are interestingly shaped icebergs floating near us as we get a close up view of the island. One of the icebergs has penguins sunning themselves with a few swimming and diving near the iceberg as the Journey passes by. This penguin sighting was announced by the captain as he brought the Journey as close as he safely could. Thank you, Captain Karlsson.CRUISE DIRECTOR/STAFFPaul Grant. An affable sort, who dresses beautifully. He was very sensitive to cruisers? desires and tastes, organizing a jazz jam session one evening after dancing in the Looking Glass lounge. He then went the extra mile by greeting the listeners after the session for feedback.Unfortunately, generally there was a bit of a reverberation inherent in his announcing technique, as if he was projecting to the back of the room as he would without a microphone despite the fact that he was speaking into one. Captain Karlsson, on the contrary, is clear and easy to listen to. I guess he spoiled us!The cruise staff Ryan, Naomi and Kelsey along with activities director Matt have a full range of activities for interested cruisers.QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSIONwas held in the cabaret with the hotel director, the cruise director and the food and beverage manager fielding passenger queries. We appreciate them making themselves available for a question and answer session.ICEBERG ALLEYIn the late afternoon after leaving Elephant Island we arrived in Iceberg Alley. There were Penguin colonies on some of the ?bergs. Some of the icebergs have interesting rectangular or pie shaped geometric shapes. We photographed the busy penguins lolling in the sun and cavorting in the water. Some were skittering down the last 6 feet of solid ice into the water, while there were always just as many other penguins trying incessantly to clamber back up.WINDOWS CAFEis the buffet on deck 9. There are numerous selections, including a smoothie bar, manned by the hard working Jesus, Mario and Wandaka. You can get fresh fruit smoothies, with protein powder if you desire, and a variety of fresh juices. In the morning there is a fresh-made waffle and pancake station, omelet bar, large selections of breakfast meats, including a delicious baked ham carving station, plenty of tasty, fresh baked pastries, hot and cold cereals etc. The negative about this buffet for us was the fact they have chosen not to have trays. It is harder to load and handle plates with everything so people are scurrying more to get stuff they forgot and it exacerbates the already crowded conditions in this smaller buffet space when everybody is up and hungry. Every previous Celebrity cruise we have been on has had trays. But, to show how responsive the staff is to the passengers: on the fourth day of the cruise after some complaints, trays were made available for those who wished them.This is a small ship, so when the Journey is in a cold place like Antarctica, the buffet overflow tables aft on the Windows patio at the stern of the ship are unusable. They bring in as many tables as they can from outside but there isn't room inside for all of the outside tables in bad weather, making it difficult to find a seat. The good news is that there is plenty of room in the Discoveries dining room on deck 5.DISCOVERIES DINING ROOMA lovely, light filled room. Restaurant Manager Ryszard Guzman and his Asst. Maitre d's are very attentive to the customers? needs. With no traditional seat assignment, the staff has to seat people by themselves or with others as desired. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. High standards of food and thoughtful service. There is no assigned seating at dinner, so tables are shared and you meet a lot of your fellow cruisers. If you prefer to dine without company at your table, there are always tables for two available.The food at Discoveries is tasty and interestingly garnished and presented, a feast for the tastebuds and the eyes. A half step up from Celebrity M class or Holland America and for us, two steps above Princess. BREEZAAt dinner time the Windows cafe morphs into Breeza, with elegant buffet dining and Sushi, pasta, antipasti, stirfry, pizza and many other tasty foods offered. A dining alternative that is truly casual. Shorts, jeans or whatever are welcome at Breeza. GERLACHE STRAIT, ANTARCTICAWe arrived in the Looking Glass lounge, at the bow of the ship on Deck 10, at around 3PM. We had believed the captain when he announced that the beauty of this part of the Antarctic Sound was such that we'd remember it for the rest of our lives. We sat enthralled by the scenery, which was already revealing itself prior to our entering the strait, and we were rather amused -- well, maybe half annoyed -- at the music playing on the sound system. It was quite appropriate for the night club venue that this room becomes much later, but it seemed to add nothing at all to the spectacular vistas opening in front of us. It would have seemed more appropriate to have softer music to enhance the feelings of awe we were experiencing, rather than music which seems designed to elicit a nervous twitch.Then, at 3:30PM, when we were entering the Strait, what did we find ourselves in the middle of but the start of a game called ?The Battle of the Sexes Trivia?! Well named. Who, taking enjoyment from this game, would need or even appreciate this spectacular scenery as a backdrop while they were busy with their competition? Could this use of the Looking Glass lounge, with floor to ceiling windows, really take precedence over the enjoyment of the cruisers who were relaxing with each other while experiencing this once-in-a-lifetime sight, the raison d'etre of the cruise?HIGH TEAand it certainly is. Every afternoon, with proper scones with clotted cream, delicious tea sandwiches and pastries with a harp tinkling in the background, tea is served in the beautiful Aqualina. Yummy.LIBRARYThere are lots of books, haphazardly arranged. It's a beautiful room with big comfortable chairs and couches.NEPTUNE?S BELLOWSThis morning's adventures marked the end of our three days in Antarctica. We saw ruined huts of past scientific expeditions, and an abandoned station whose country needs its money for more immediately practical matters. This was a volcanic area, in which during times of eruption the sea actually boils. Today there was steam rising as we cruised past. Our last view before heading to open waters was a large colony of chinstrap penguins whose rookery was along the shoreline. The birds were too far away to see with our eyes but we got some pictures with our 18x zoom lens. It was fun watching smaller groups of them, up to a hundred or so, arcing through the water like small dolphins as they headed away from the ship, presumably back to the colony. Capt. Leif Karlsson said that the three day cruise through Antarctica, his first time, is the highlight of his sailing career, and he hoped it was that for us as well. The ice pilot, Capt. Ulrich Demel, said that he suspected that the Capt. would be very happy once the ship had successfully passed through the narrow, rock lined exit, Neptune's Bellows. We saw Capt. Karlsson at the Cova coffee bar shortly after we got back out into open sea and he had a big, satisfied grin on his face. We mentioned to him later that he looked like he had won the lottery and he said that's about how he felt getting back to open sea.CAPE HORNis breathtaking. We rounded Cape Horn in the late afternoon, and by doing so we each officially became a ?Cape Horner? complete with a certificate signed by Capt. Karlsson. USHUAIA, ARGENTINAis known by the locals as ?fin del mundo?, the end of the world. A lovely town surrounded by snow capped peaks and close to Pargue Nacional Tierra del Fuego (156,000 acres) with its bays, lakes, rivers and high mountain peaks. There is abundant bird life there. The parque is 11 miles west of Ushuaia. Cab drivers are waiting at the end of the pier and will take you to the parque at a very fair price.This is a busy commercial port, dangerous (large forklifts moving containers being set down by cranes. Trucks moving supplies for the various ships, etc.), for cruise passengers to walk through, even worse for the physically challenged passenger, and with a strong smell of diesel fuel.The walk to the end of the pier here from the ship is about a kilometer. When we berthed on other cruises at Mazatlan, or Puerto Limon, etc. in the commercial port area, we were shuttled through the working area in jitneys, mini vans, etc., to keep us safe from the vehicles working on the pier at the various berths we had to pass to get to the shore. We had to be very careful walking here, because the port crews, truck drivers and giant forklift drivers are not very mindful of pedestrians. There were no Azamara crew members directing the path to take and no pathway painted or cordoned off. Cruisers had to keep their eyes open and walk sometimes on both sides of the pier depending on the irregular vehicle movement. Poor planning on the part of Azamara Cruise lines! Not premium in any way. It's not just a comfort issue but a serious safety issue. We spoke to the Hotel Director, Niyazi Korkmaz, and he said there was nothing he could do; it was up to the ?authorities?. We believe that it is the Hotel Director's and corporate Azamara's job to deal with the authorities by working with the local chamber of commerce and Government Tourist Agency to obtain the proper permits for the pier and find drivers who have a pier security clearances to drive rented mini vans or similar vehicles.Since the ship can bring transportation vehicles to the ships? gangway to send passengers off on excursions, then they can shuttle passengers through this dangerous working port.We had a nice lunch at Tia Elvira; cannelloni and spaghetti for two, with soft drinks and tip for only $20.00 US, well below the tourist prices found at some of the local bistros. We found a nearby internet cafe one block north of the pier on Ave. San Martin and checked our email, etc. If you walk a couple of blocks, there are excellent bargains and souvenirs to be had. We even found a new halter for our broodmare, Ruby of the Amazon, including a lead shank for $21.00 US. at El Faro, a large shop of much variety, a block from the pier. There is a lot of horse equipment for sale here in Argentina. You never know what you will find to buy on a cruise vacation. We love this kind of surprise.We visited a few shops along the pier on our way back to the ship. At Huellas del Sur, Harriette got a beautiful pashmina scarf to round out her cruise wardrobe, for 96 pesos at 3.20 pesos to the US dollar (about $32 US). It is woven in pinks going on purple with some electric blue in there, and the weave makes it reminiscent of the tweed of a Chanel jacket. Everything in the shop was of high quality, most of it silk or wool. The ambience here reminds us of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.PUNTA ARENAS, CHILEHere again our access to the from the ship to the foot of the pier and the town has been lacking in ground transportation or a safely marked pathway.Today, on the way from the Journey to the town of Punta Arenas, there was another problem: WIND. El viento. The wind really, really blows at this port, all day long. The walk itself was doable for us, the pier being shorter than that at Ushuaia, but had I lifted both my feet at the same time I might have been swept along with none of the effort of walking at all. Add the salt spray stinging us, and we allowed ourselves to be blown back to the comfort of the ship; after a time the wind died down a little and we made it all the way.I'm glad we did; we both enjoy empanadas, which are this culture's version of a pot pie crossed with a taco: flaky pastry encloses beef or chicken, with olives and hardboiled egg in this case. We found these at ?Happy Hours? cafeteria, along with really delicious strong coffee and a Coke with the original zing, from a glass bottle. Ten dollars US, including the tip.The cab driver, for a five dollar US flat rate fare, took us to a corner downtown, where there is a square block of tree-shaded park in the center of town. There are many craft vendors set up with prices much lower than the many stores that stock crafts and souvenirs. We acquired 3 small penguins including one in a snow globe for eight dollars US total. This town seems similar to Mazatlan, Mexico.PUERTO MADRYN, ARGENTINAA lovely place. Nice new pier with no bustling commercial activity. At this port, a shuttle bus and a guide named Teresa who rode the bus with us, gave us much info about the town as we rode to the end of the pier. When we returned she queried us about where we ate and what we shopped for, and how did we like it all. Puerto Madryn is going all out to welcome cruisers. The pier is next to a park overlooking a very broad beach with the business district across the street. We went to the Telecom internet cafe, 3 blocks from the pier, and then to the supermercado, 2 blocks from the pier, to stock up on a few toiletries. We took pictures of some majestically artistic graffiti pieces that were up on some old dilapidated buildings that sit ready for redevelopment next to new properties under construction, and then we strolled back to the pier. This place reminded us of Cabo San Lucas, the old town, in look and ambience.PUNTA DEL ESTE, URUGUAY (aka Punta del Expensivo)Upscale pricewise, ala the French Riviera, Beverly Hills etc. The locals tout it as the St.Tropez of South America. A lovely harbor/marina. We tendered in past rows of large yachts docked in the marina. Warm and pretty. Bikinis and shorts were the uniforms of the day along the pedestrian promenade skirting the marina. We walked 3 blocks to the left of the pier and one block up and had a delicious, fresh made, expensive pasta lunch at El Viejo Marino for about $52.00 US, including soft drinks and the tip. Shrimp and spaghetti with a thin red sauce of fresh tomatoes and gentle seasonings. Sublime! We also tried the spinach and ricotta ravioli in a not too heavy cream sauce.
TIPPINGThe gratuities here on the Azamara Journey are $12.25 per day, per passenger, higher than most cruise lines. This covers the Butler/steward, his assistant, the waiters, the asst. Maitre d's, the asst. Chief Housekeeper, etc.There is an additional 18% tip added to bar drinks, bottles of wine and designer coffee purchases at the Cova Cafe. That's 3% more than other cruise lines. We bring a bunch of US singles and give them away for good service. Room service waiters who deliver us a midnight snack get a couple of bucks. If we order a club soda or a designer coffee or a single glass of wine, we give the server an extra dollar in cash over the tip on the tab. It makes us feel good to do this to thank deserving staffers. We don't overdo it but it needs to be done in our opinion to show our appreciation. The standard tips don't cover the level of service available on the Azamara Journey.MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAYA truly lovely city, very friendly to the cruiser. This is an example of an industrial port that also accommodates us slow walking cruisers in comfortable safety. No shuttle was necessary.There was a clearly defined, green painted walkway edged with a white border and pictographs indicating access for pedestrians and handicapped persons. This green path led us safely to the main (and nearby) tourist center, so that we could not wander into the large trucks which were carrying in loads of logs, etc. On the pier and at street crossings there were uniformed traffic control personnel who politely waved us through when it was safe.Maybe a hundred meters from the ship was the ?Communications Center,? a phone and internet center right here inside the port, where we were able to quickly check our email. There were telephones as well, and postal services. The price was a fraction of the cost of using the internet on the ship, and the connection here was at a high speed. We brought our laptop and plugged in. There were also computer stations for rent. Another short walk through the main gate of the port and you cross the main street and walk a block and you have arrived at the port market, ?Mercado del Puerto?. There we had lunch (pasta again) at La Marosqueria, and it was delicious and about half the price ($26.00 US) of our lunch yesterday in Punta del Este.There were numerous restaurants, some with very low prices indeed; a grilled sausage sandwich on a fresh baked roll with fries for around for $3.00 US. There was a variety of delicious smelling meats, fish and chicken being grilled, empanada stands and pizza. The place was filled with locals on their lunch hour, always a good sign.There are shops with beautiful locally made goods of leather, knit garments of wool; silver jewelry with inset gemstones was plentiful also. We did not come across the numerous cheap trinkets for sale at so many cruise stops.Walking outside the Mercado on neighboring streets, we passed many colorful fruit stands. This neighborhood was very photogenic, in fact. Many buildings are in semi-ruin awaiting renovations. There are architects? signs on buildings in renovation and you can see the gentrification starting to happen. The textures, rusted iron scrollwork, ornate doors and window trimmings, and wildflowers (some might say weeds) that will bloom no matter what made for great photographic backgrounds as well as subjects to feature.In Montevideo we found the shopkeepers to be friendly and helpful. They were quoting an exchange rate of 20 pesos to the US dollar on this day. The port security troops are courteous and helpful. Our limited Spanish and their limited English was a good enough match. We want to return to Uruguay for a longer vacation.BUENOS AIRES, the return.We rode from the Azamara to the Emperador Hotel in downtown Buenos Aires in a minivan, and by happy coincidence, we had the same driver who had taxied us from the airport to the ship 18 days ago: Carlos. At first the ride seemed a bit harrowing; the method to progress from one street to another or from one lane to another, etc., is to nudge your vehicle's way in front of whatever conveyance could possibly give way. There were countless near-misses, and even a pedestrian who did not seem to notice that our van began moving forward before he had cleared it! BUT: there were no raised voices; no obscene gestures. No horn honking at all! It was very peaceful chaos!EMPERADOR HOTELSeeing the uncomfortable conditions in the holding area Azamara had reserved for our wait, we tried to book a room for the day but there were none available. A knowledgeable staffer confided that they were overbooked. There were a lot of cruise ships at the port; Insignia, Sinfornia, Rotterdam and the old Zenith, re-branded as Island Cruises. One could relax at a table in this secure, sterile waiting room or wander. We wandered upstairs and had a nice lunch in a light filled room with big windows overlooking a courtyard and garden with ivy covered walls. Birds, fountain, shaded sitting areas; a pretty place. You may purchase wi-fi for the day on the hotel network from the bartender. SUMMING UPAzamara proclaims the following at the bottom of the e-mails I exchanged with the Customer Relations Department:?Smaller ships. Out-of-the-ordinary destinations. Unmatched amenities - this is Azamara?.Well, we loved the small ship. The food was really good, south South America and Antarctica were majestic, but the unmatched amenities were not evident in many ways.The first of these things was the cabin. Although the space would have permitted ample, easy storage, there was very little, and it wasn't very usable. It was impossible for one cabin mate to stay up reading while the other slept, which could be corrected by installing a retractable drape between the bed and a lighted reading area with adjustable wall lamps above the couch. A very easy thing to do. Celebrity ?M? class ships and HAL's ?Vista? class both excel in ?cabin ergonomics,? making a comfortable nest for the duration of the cruise.The lack of shuttle service on two of the piers we stopped at was quite unsafe.Why was it not possible for the Azamara head office to align with local business associations for the benefit of both Azamara's passengers and the port town? This planning was not premium.CRUISE AIRThe airline travel booked by the cruise line has us coming off the ship after 18 days of relaxing and cruising into a long, long wait for the plane for Miami that leaves at 11:15PM. We expect to leave the ship and a few hours later board a flight home.We had tried to avoid this 13 1/4 hour wait lasting from leaving the ship at 10:00 AM to our flight, departing at 11:15 PM.We obtained permission pre-cruise to leave the ship a day earlier, on our first of 2 days in Buenos Aires, so we could spend the day relaxing on the ship, and after an early dinner, proceed to the airport, arriving there 2 1/2 to 3 hours before our flight. Miami based Azamara Customer Relations warned us that we could be required to clear immigration and customs as early as 9:30 AM that morning, and be required to then leave the ship, and be faced with the same long delay, in a strange city, with our carry-ons in tow, without a secure hotel holding area.So, we chose not to leave the ship a day early. As it turned out, passengers who had elected to do so were allowed to stay aboard the Azamara Journey until 5:30 PM. No more cruise line booked air for us. We tried to change our flight on our first day back in Buenos Aires but by then the price for the change was triple what we had been offered pre cruise. To come off an 18 day cruise with that wonderful relaxed feeling, and to spend a long, long day and into the night, 13 ¼ hours waiting for the nearly nine hour redeye flight, dashed our cruisey feelings and left us thinking that Azamara is not the premium cruise line they have branded themselves as. CRUISE VALUE REDUX/FUTURE CRUISESWhen we cruise again we are returning to HAL, Princess or Celebrity M class. We want more bang for our buck. We're glad we saw Antarctica on a small ship but we are going back to more ?popular priced? cruising. When we complete a cruise we usually have the next one already booked, but we are waiting and watching the internet for the exceptional cruise values that have recently been available. We have never seen so many last minute cruise bargains or received so many e-mails from the cruise lines we sail. It's a cruise buyer's market now if your schedule is flexible.Happy cruising!

Antoinette "Toni" Frissell
Born into privilege in Manhattan high society, Frissell attended finishing school and debuted before spending several carefree years in Europe during the Roaring Twenties. Returning to New York, she fell into photography and turned her high-speed Rolleiflex lens on her friends. Town & Country, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar couldn't get enough of her images of clothing on the move—and a new kind of woman moving in it. Frissell pioneered the use of the nonprofessional model and was also influential in taking the art beyond the studio.
"I wasted hundreds of feet of Condé Nast film," Frissell recalled in the 1970s, "but got one or two fashion pictures with an entire new breezy, natural look."[3]
In her fashion images she might pose models against Caribbean or South American landscapes, or have them float—fully dressed—underwater. "She loved movement and unusual angles, and she had a whimsical imagination," her daughter, Sidney Bacon Stafford, said in 1994. "She always kept her eyes open for new ways to photograph."[4] Aggressive about getting the right shot, Frissell went so far as to enter the orangutan cage at the Bronx Zoo to capture the model from the ape's point of view. Once, she lay on her back at the end of an airport runway to photograph the belly of the B-17 Flying Fortress as it took off.
As Sidney Stafford later hypothesized, photography may have served as a sort of therapy for Frissell, after the death of her own mother and the violent deaths of her two older brothers. While not every face she captured was happy, as her daughter wrote, "So many photographers make their names on tragedy, but Toni Frissell's theme was the richness of life."[5]
In addition to the prodigious pace she maintained in the realm of fashion, Frissell did remarkable documentary work during World War II, on the front lines and on the home front; took an official portrait of Winston Churchill at Blenheim Palace; became the first female photographer for Sports Illustrated; and published photo-essays in Life. However, as George Plimpton—who did an introduction for the book Toni Frissell: Photographs 1933–1967—told The New York Times, "Every photographer I spoke to including her peers such as Richard Avedon and Cornell Capa, say her work has been neglected."[6]
Perhaps this energetic, angular beauty did not mind. She certainly accepted her own aging with aplomb. At 66, she told Vogue, "I'd never have my face lifted unless I was in a motor accident—because I feel I've earned my lines. My hair started going gray during World War II. I couldn't wait for it to go white."[7]In many ways, she was a genuine pioneer, creating images of almost eerie modernity (as one glance at her 1930s and 1940s underwater images taken in a dolphin tank at Marineland in Florida will attest). But she had a strength of character and stern determination that, at this remove, seems distinctly from another century. With regard to her own wardrobe, for instance, Frissell had a strict and simple philosophy: "I love anything that falls free of your body—peasant smocks, fishermen's smocks, coolie coats. I don't like to see a woman's backside, no matter how flat it is."[8]
Antoinette (Toni) Frissell born in New York City to Lewis Fox Frissell, medical director of St. Luke's Hospital, and Antoinette Wood Frissell. Little Toni has two older brothers, Varick and Montgomery. She will be raised in Manhattan, attend Chapin School, and summer in Newport. Her grandparents were railroad people who settled in Oregon.
Montgomery Frissell dies in a mountain-climbing accident at the age of seventeen.
After graduating from the Farmington School in Connecticut—aka, Miss Porter's—spends evenings in nightclubs and speakeasies (Jack and Charlie's 21 Club, Texas Guinan's, Jimmy Durante's Dover Club, and a gangster-run place called the Hotsy Totsy). She will spend much of the decade traveling around Europe, having fun and falling in love.
Inspired by her older cousin, Rosamond Pinchot (star of The Miracle), appears as a tree in a Max Reinhardt stage production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and then in Danton's Death. Her height would prevent her from an acting career, and so she starts taking photographs, inspired by her older brother, Varick, an explorer and documentary freelancer.
Takes a job selling dresses at Stern's department store. After her suggested ad copy for a silver-fox collar, "Men Don't Like Cold Women,"[9] appears in the Sunday papers, Toni's mother shows it to Vogue's editor in chief, Edna Woolman Chase, who hires her on the spot as a caption writer. In March, brother Varick disappears at sea when his expedition's ship sinks. Frissell's engagement to Count Serge Orloff-Davidoff is broken off by his mother, who insists they are not suited for one another. Carmel Snow, fashion editor, fires Frissell for her poor spelling and suggests she take up photography. That summer in Newport, Frissell photographs friends and socialites. Her first image is published in Town & Country. Vogue gives her a contract and she apprentices briefly with Cecil Beaton and sits at the knee of Edward Steichen. In a staff memorandum, Carmel Snow compliments Frissell's use of nonprofessional models.
Set up on a blind date with Francis McNeil Bacon III, a Harvard graduate and stockbroker. The two marry in September.
Son Varick Bacon born.
Asks Vogue's art director, Mehemed Fehmy Agha, for a raise from $2,400 to $3,600 a year. He strongly objects but is overruled by publisher Condé Nast, who is a fan of her outdoor fashion shoots.
Purchases Sherrewogue, a large house in Head of Harbor, on the North Fork of Long Island, New York, that dates from 1689 and was renovated by Stanford White. Daughter Sidney Bacon born; she will eventually become a photographer in her own right.
With Edward Steichen retired, Cecil Beaton fired, and George Hoyningen-Huene out of the picture, Frisell's work gains prominence. She does three Vogue covers (including one of a woman surfing in Hawaii).
Over her husband's objections, spends ten weeks in England and Scotland as a volunteer photographer for the Red Cross. Several of the resulting 2,000 frames are used in promotional posters. Takes an assignment as a freelance war correspondent and photographer, covering the Eighth Air Force and traveling through Italy and France. "The worst part of war," she later says, "is what happens to the survivors—the widows without home or family; the ragged kids left to wander as orphans."[10]
Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses, featuring her photographs of her two children, published.
Photographs African-American pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group in Ramitelli, Italy. The images appear in Life magazine (and will prove significant in a positive public attitude shift in regard to blacks serving in the military). Around this time, leaves Vogue for Harper's Bazaar.
The Happy Island, a book written with her friend Sally Lee Woodall and featuring photographs of her children taken on a trip to Bermuda, published.
Toni Frissell's Mother Goose is her next literary effort.
Photographs the reception following Jacqueline Bouvier's marriage to Senator John F. Kennedy in Newport, R.I. on assignment for Harper's Bazaar. Carmel Snow, now editor in chief of Bazaar, tells Frissell she has no use for the negatives and will not pay for her work or expenses; Frissell leaves the publication. Vogue persuades her to come back, promising she will no longer have to do fashion shots, which have become a bore. Among the first photographs Vogue prints by the prodigal daughter are those showing the coronation of Queen Elizabeth.
Becomes the first female photographer for Sports Illustrated, where she focuses on the pastimes of the affluent: yachting, fox-hunting, polo, steeplechase, golf, skiing.
The exhibit "A Number of Things," at the I.B.M. Gallery in New York, features 170 of Frissell's photographs, from candids and shots of her children to war photography and her official portrait of Winston Churchill.
After experiencing the beginning phases of Alzheimer's disease, closes her Manhattan office and donates her life's work of 300,000 images to the Library of Congress. She will continue to contribute images to Vogue until 1972.
The King Ranch, 1939–1944: A Photographic Essay is published.
Frissell's husband dies.
Toni Frissell dies in the St. James Nursing Home. She is survived by daughter Sidney Bacon Stafford of Bellport, Long Island, and son Varick Bacon of Manhattan, as well as three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Shortly before her death, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a longtime admirer, edits Toni Frissell: Photographs 1933–1967 for Doubleday.

text: SPOKANE, WA - A Yakima man will spend 15 years behind bars for being a previously convicted felon in possession of a firearm.37-year-old Carl Eugene Gonderman was sentenced today in federal court. A judge sentenced Gonderman to a 15 year term of imprisonment pursuant to the Armed Career Criminal Act, and five years of a court supervision once he's released from federal prison.According to court documents, on April 14, 2012, Yakima police officers tried to stop a pickup truck reported as stolen. The driver, Gonderman, then drove recklessly through city streets and residential areas at speeds up to 60 m.p.h., failed to stop for traffic signals, and at one point went airborne. Officers stopped the pursuit due to the danger to the public, but a short time later, officers found the truck where it had crashed into a residential garage. Gonderman and his passenger ran off and left the vehicle, but were caught shortly after. Officers discovered a loaded Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver on the driver's floorboard of the pickup. Gonderman was charged with being a previously convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Gonderman pleaded guilty to that crime on June 13, 2013. At sentencing, the judge noted that Gonderman has roughly a dozen prior felony convictions. The Court ordered that Gonderman's sentence run concurrent to his related state convictions arising from the incident and that he receive credit for time spent in state custody.

Poured from the bottle into a wheat ale glass.
An absolutely unique and remarkable color for a wheat ale. Makes a classic foamy white German style Hefeweizen like head, thick and fluffy and even pin head bubbled. The body color is just like the label. Brass orange and deep crystal clarity with rocking long rising carbonation. As the head settles a perfect foamy ball appears with thick icing and lacing. This sucker wont quit. Throwing in the last of the sediment we return to a bit more of course opaque and classic looking wheat. Gorgeous looking beer.
What an enjoyable nose on this beer. Soft apricot like fruit and juicy orange. Nice chewy malt sensing body and very clean. Feels ready to dive in.
Palate hits with a bit of neutral, safe, and somewhat unexpected average ability. Matching senses on the nose come down quite subdued, and a little runny. Chalky orange taste, and some flat watery hop finish. Real dry aftertaste and strangely citrus parching. Mineraly tang like finish a bit, and some floral notes to go with it. Really missing some chewy wheat depth here unfortunately.
With all this great senses before hand the beer feels like it's going to be something great. But in the end it all comes up to being a bit better than average. It is however, a gorgeous looking and smelling brew, and I am still blown away by how much this brewery does so many different styles so uniquely and real well.

Little over a finger of cream white foam, lots of medium sized bubbles give it both an uneven surface and a looser weave, still retention is credible and the lacing streaks thick and longlasting. The liquid is mildly fuzzy, a deep orange to yellow color, slightly like freshly rusty water, very few bubbles visible. Sweet grains, caramel and a shovel full of pink grapefruit, lemon and tangerine citrus in the nose, peach, nectarine and lesser pineapple fruit, veers off with some peppery notes and dark country style bread but overall stays juicy and sweet. In the mouth it's medium-bodied, starts off grassy and biting but the overt sweetness of all that pink grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange citrus pretty much crushes anything in its path. As when sniffing it, the citrus plays up the peach, apricot, nectarine to pineapple fruit and here draws out added cocoa powder and pine elements. The carbonation is average to below so, however, it just seems to have a naturally creamy mouth feel. Not really getting the wheat, nor any strong bread, grain presence. Some spiciness and a fistful of minerally earth. But really it comes across as a simple, sweet, citrus bomb. Easy to drink for sure, likely get bored with it after a second bottle.

Purchased on vacation from Wine Cheese & More, Chincoteague Island, VA.
Almost clear and golden in color with a 5 finger chunky white head that leaves thick bubbly clumps of lacing.
Incredibly fresh tropical /grassy hop aroma backed by ltart wheat.
The taste falls short of the aroma. Typical tart wheat, with a bare hint of clove. No banana. Bitterness holds it together though, in the end. I kicked it up a notch to 3.5.
Rather full bodied for the style. Call it medium. Peppery and very astringent and drying on the tongue with warming alcohol/carbonation in the throat.
First taste was a bit disappointing, but it turns out to be a decent beer after all. Not incrediblyl complex, but it has enough going on to keep me interested. I would try it again.

Enjoyed this 12oz bottle out of a Belgian tulip glass.
A: Pours a slightly hazy golden hue with a thick, 3-finger, white hue that slowly dissipates down the side of the glass leaving a great trail and ending in a solid persistent lace.
S: Surprising hoppy aroma mixed with a bready malt scent.
T: Smooth and slightly bitter hoppy wheat flavor that finishes on the tart side of dry.
M: Medium body and medium carbonation.
O: Surprising the was a really good wheat ale. I usually avoid wheat brews at all cost but this one had a really good hop bite that made it really tasty.

NC State beat the Terps 9-4 on Sunday, winning the series in the process.
NC State rallied to take a late lead in College Park on Wednesday night, but they weren't able to hang on for the win. A late Alex Len tip-in gave Maryland a 51-50 victory.
NC State will try to improve to 4-0 in league play when it takes on Maryland on Wednesday night. It's gonna be a tough one for the Pack.
I'm already exhausted thinking about another round of major conference realignment in college football, but Maryland may have gotten that ball rolling with its move to the Big Ten.
NC State pulled off an improbable win over Maryland on Saturday. The effort was lacking, the execution...not so good. But the Terps ended up missing a game-winning chip shot, and them's the breaks.
Chat about the game right here.
NC State hits the road to face a revitalized Maryland Terrapins team this weekend.
The Maryland Terrapins were coming off a 2-10 season and lost their starting quarterback to a season-ending injury, but here they are at 4-2. Their defense has been a big reason for that...
NC State is 1-0 in ACC play.
NC State opens league play with Maryland.

Ronald Washington (born April 29, 1952) is a former Major League Baseball shortstop and the current manager of the Texas Rangers. Prior to managing the Rangers, Washington coached in the New York Mets and Oakland Athleticsorganizations.
Playing career[edit source | editbeta]
Washington was signed by the Kansas City Royals on July 17, 1970. He spent the next ten seasons in the minor leagues with three different organizations (Royals, Mets, and Dodgers). He earned a brief September callup with theLos Angeles Dodgers in 1977 hitting .368 (7 for 19). He wouldn't return to the major league level until 1981 with theMinnesota Twins where he would remain until 1986. He then played one season each for the Baltimore Orioles,Cleveland Indians, and Houston Astros before retiring from Triple-A Oklahoma City in 1990. He was a middle infielder for most of his career. On May 28, 1988, while playing for the Indians, Washington broke up Milwaukee Brewers pitcherOdell Jones' no-hit bid after 8 and 1/3 innings with a pinch-hit single.[1]
Coaching career[edit source | editbeta]
Following his retirement as a player, Washington worked in the New York Mets organization for five years. After being hired as the Oakland Athletics first base coach in 1996 under his former Astros manager Art Howe, Washington then served as infield and third base coach for the A's between 1997 and 2006. As infield coach Washington has been credited for developing much of the A's young infield talent in the last decade, including six-time Gold Glover Eric Chavez, and former MVP and A's shortstop Miguel Tejada. In 2004, Chavez expressed his appreciation by giving Washington one of his Gold Glove trophies, signed "Wash, not without you."[2]
Washington plays a significant role in the events of the book Moneyball, a book detailing how the A's have been successful despite a small budget. Washington is shown in a positive light for the way he trained Scott Hatteberg to field first base for the first time in his career. Washington is also, however, portrayed as too old-fashioned and traditional in his lack of acceptance of general manager Billy Beane's sabermetric strategies. He was portrayed in the film adaptationof the book by Brent Jennings.
Manager[edit source | editbeta]
On November 6, 2006, the Texas Rangers announced that Washington had accepted their offer to manage the team[3]replacing Buck Showalter, who was fired a month earlier. Washington beat out four other candidates for the job: Rangers bench coach Don Wakamatsu, then New York Mets third base coach Manny Acta, Nippon Ham Fightersmanager Trey Hillman[4] and former Rangers catcher John Russell.[5]
At the beginning of the 2007 season, it was rumored that there was a rift between Washington and Rangers star Mark Teixeira. Asked about it, Washington responded,
A lot of times we make three outs on four or five pitches... I just can't see that late in the game when you're four or five runs down. You're at the point where the starter is out of the game, you're in the middle (of the bullpen), these are the guys you want to get to. I've never asked him (Teixeira) to do it when the closer is in the game. But the middle guys, you want to make 'em throw... He feels like he's going to only get one pitch in that type of situation to do something with. He wants to take advantage of it. I've got no problem with that. But can you guarantee with that one pitch that you're going to do something with it? I don't think any ballplayer on earth can guarantee that. You might pop it up, miss it, roll over it, jam yourself. Then you make one out on one pitch. I want to see him get a pitchers' strike right there.[6]
Teixeira was traded to the Atlanta Braves in July 2007 and had been rumored to have been on the trading block before reports of tensions with Washington, as his agent, Scott Boras, had refused to negotiate a contract extension beyond the 2008 season. Reports also suggested tensions between Washington and catcher Gerald Laird. Questioned about the rumors, Washington conceded that the pressure he put on Laird was "a lot to put on a young kid... (But) that's what we've got. He's got to grow up fast."[7]
On August 6, 2007, Washington was ejected for the first time of his managerial career after arguing with umpire Bill Miller over a called third strike to Michael Young, who also was ejected. On March 17, 2010, Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated reported that Washington tested positive for cocaine during the 2009 season and has admitted to using cocaine.[8]
Washington would become only the second manager of the Rangers franchise, after Johnny Oates, to take his team to the post-season after winning the AL West in 2010; the team's first division title in 11 years. On October 12, 2010, Washington became the first manager in franchise history to win a playoff series, with a 3–2 victory in the ALDS over the Tampa Bay Rays. On October 22, 2010, Washington's Rangers defeated the New York Yankees in the ALCS in six games, to advance to their first World Series in franchise history, before losing to the San Francisco Giants in five games. He also became the third African American to manage a team into a World Series, joining Cito Gaston, who managed the Toronto Blue Jays to the World Championship in the 1992 and 1993 World Series, and Dusty Baker, who managed the Giants in the 2002 World Series.
Referring to Washington, second baseman Ian Kinsler said: "I just love the way he never holds his emotion back, especially when he's managing. He hangs on every pitch, and it's great to know that your manager is in every single pitch and cares that much."[9] In 2009 his salary was about $750,000.[10] On November 4, 2010, Washington agreed to a two-year contract extension.
On October 15, 2011, Washington managed the Rangers to their second World Series in as many years, when the Rangers defeated the Detroit Tigers in the ALCS. The Rangers eventually lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in 7 games, after twice being one strike away from the title in game 6. On January 30, 2012, Washington agreed to another two-year contract extension. He managed the American League in the 2012 MLB All-Star Game.
On September 2, 2012, Washington earned his 507th win as a manager of the Texas Rangers, passing Johnny Oates for 2nd most wins by a Rangers manager. As of the end of the 2012 season, Washington is 61 wins behind Bobby Valentine for first place in wins.

Project Creates New Space for Study of Art and Design in Cambridge's Porter Square
Tuesday, November 12, 2013
Bruner/Cott & Associates, a design firm with emphasis on large institutional projects and urban development, announces that construction is underway on Lesley University's Lunder Arts Center in Porter Square, Cambridge. The 70,000-square-foot, LEED Gold-designed project marks a bold new chapter in the history of the university's College of Art and Design, the new name of the century-old Art Institute of Boston.
The ambitious project enables Lesley University to relocate the College of Art and Design from its Kenmore Square site in Boston to a unified campus that stretches from the edge of Harvard Square into the heart of Porter Square. The locus of the project, at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Roseland Street, reinforces Lesley's mission of uniting the arts across the university as well as its commitment to the City of Cambridge. The project is a keystone initiative in the rapidly developing Porter Square Arts District.
Bruner/Cott's design, selected through an invited competition, creates a compelling dialogue between nineteenth- and twenty-first century architecture. The 1845 Old Cambridge Baptist Church, which later became the North Prospect Congregational Church, is one of seven surviving pre-Civil War churches in the city and the best preserved in the Greek Revival style. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the church was moved once from Harvard Square to Porter Square in 1867, and will be moved again to a more visually prominent location on the arts center site. The church exterior will be restored to its original appearance, and its interior will be renovated to house the school's art library and design studios.
Complementing this facility is a new four-story terra cotta and glass building for art galleries and studio and art-making spaces that will occupy the former church site. The scale and detail of the church inform the new building, and its terra cotta detailing harmonizes with neighborhood brick and clapboard. The two buildings are linked via a three-story glass entry commons. The complex will also serve the wider community, offering expanded public events including exhibitions, lectures, conferences, and symposia.
The Lunder Arts Center bears the surname of philanthropists Peter and Paula Lunder (Lesley Class of 1959), whose transformational commitment to the university came through a matching gift challenge in fall 2012.
"The Lunder Arts Center is the high-water mark in a period of strategic expansion at Lesley," says university President Dr. Joseph B. Moore. "With Bruner/Cott's vision, the Center helps Lesley to continue to give our students an educational experience of the highest quality, support the talents of our faculty, and deepen our relationships with our neighbors and alumni around the arts."
"Our firm has long-term experience in designing and building for academia and the arts, often merging historic architecture with new construction," says Principal-in-Charge Simeon Bruner.
