Developing Excellence
We have developed a broad range of projects and have recently enjoyed combining them into outstanding mixed use developments.
Multi-FamilySee All Multi-Family
Ink Block South End
Boston, MA
National Development is planning Boston's most edgy and exciting mixed-use project with 472 residential units anchored by a Whole Foods
Arborpoint at Woodland Station
Newton, MA
A 180-unit transit-oriented apartment community with underground parking built at the Woodland MBTA station.
Arborpoint at Woodland Station
Newton, MA
A Model for Transit-Oriented Housing
When the MBTA looked to find a developer to create a model transit-oriented development at Woodland Station in Newton, National Development responded to the challenge. We transformed a narrow five acre surface parking lot into a thriving residential community.
Our vision for the site was to create a pleasant residential street along the trolley tracks in what had once been a parking lot. We lined the street with well-scaled two story townhomes and hid a two level garage behind them. Above the garage are 180 luxury apartments.
Arborpoint at Woodland Station has been lauded by residential abutters who found, despite its size, that it is compatible with its neighborhood. Its Newton location, on-site MBTA station, access to Newton-Wellesley Hospital and proximity to two area golf courses has made it a popular choice for area renters.
Medford, MA
A 168-unit transit-oriented "green" apartment community at Station Landing featuring numerous environmentally friendly features.
Medford, MA
Green Apartments, Orange Line, Red Hot Neighborhood
National Development looked to find a market differentiator for the planned fourth residential building at its award-winning Station Landing development. After market research, it became clear that prospective residents were looking for the opportunity to live in a LEED-certified green building with chic urban architectural design that had great access to public transportation.
Out of this idea was born 75SL, the first LEED Gold multi-family rental building in the Boston market. So successful was the concept that the building was 75% occupied within just three months of opening and it has remained one of the most sought after residential addresses in the Boston area.
In addition to sustainable materials, dual flush toilets and energy saving appliances, the building features floor-to-ceiling glass in many units. The Skywalk to the MBTA is just steps away as is access to Zip Car service. The restaurants, fitness club, stores and parks of Station Landing are all conveniently available to 75SL's residents.
RetailSee All Retail
MarketStreet Lynnfield
Lynnfield, MA
A 395,000 square foot "Main Street" retail center with over 60 fine shops and restaurants.
MarketStreet Lynnfield
Lynnfield, MA
A New Main Street-based Marketplace
MarketStreet Lynnfield is the redevelopment of the former Colonial Country Club property. Working in partnership with the Towns of Lynnfield and Wakefield, the new development includes a unique mix of retail stores, restaurants and entertainment all designed to become a vibrant center. Anchored by Whole Foods, Legal C Bar and King's, MarketStreet features a classic main street, town square and village green.
In addition to the retail space, MarketStreet will also include 80,000 s.f. of office space and a 180 unit residential community. As part of a community partnership, a nine hole golf course will be retained on the property, which is also adjacent to a hotel and sports club. MarketStreet is being developed in partnership with WS Development.
Shops at Station Landing
Medford, MA
75,000 square feet of restaurants and specialty shops in an urban village setting.
Shops at Station Landing
Medford, MA
A Dining Destination
National Development's challenge at Station Landing was to create an upscale retail center that would be complimentary to its luxury residential plan for the property. As we worked to re-position and re-build a site that formerly hosted less desirable uses, the strategy was to create a new image and vibrant street life by attracting multiple restaurants. Retail enlivens the ground floor and typically sits below seven stories of residential apartments on the upper levels of most buildings.
Station Landing is now positioned as the "go-to" place for area diners. For residents of Station Landing, the shops and restaurants are an essential part of the project's "live-work-play" philosophy. Tenants include Not Your Average Joes, Pizzeria Regina, Margarita's, Yoki, Kelly's Roast Beef and Starbucks.
Old Connecticut Path Marketplace
Framingham, MA
A Super Stop & Shop- anchored community center that also includes several restaurants and convenience retailers.
Old Connecticut Path Marketplace
Framingham, MA
A Dining Destination
National Development has excelled in working with retailers such as Stop & Shop to bring new stores to areas of strong market demand. Such was the case in Framingham where a former industrial site was converted into a thriving retail community center.
As with all National Development projects, we worked closely with town officials and neighbors to develop a plan that fit with local needs. This included working on design standards that met the need of the retailers as well as reflected local preferences.
The resulting shopping center has been a positive addition to the neighborhood providing local grocery shopping, banking and dining options on the periphery of the busy Route 9 corridor.
OfficeSee All Office
Staples World Headquarters
Framingham, MA
650,000 s.f. office building located within National Development's 9/90 Corporate Center.
Staples World Headquarters
Framingham, MA
A World Class Corporate HQ
National Development acquired 82 acres of land at the intersection of the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) and Route 9 to create a premier suburban office park west of Boston. The centerpiece of the park is Staples World Headquarters, a flagship building that includes two six-story wings centered on a three story central element containing a 600 seat restaurant, auditorium and conference/training center.
In order to meet an aggressive 13 month construction schedule, Staples utilized National Development to coordinate all aspects of design, permitting and construction. National Development has recently worked on the adding a major parking structure to the original plan.
Unicorn Park
Woburn, MA
A 600,000 square foot office park acquired in partnership with Charles River Realty Investors.
Unicorn Park
Woburn, MA
Acquiring and Enhancing Quality Office Assets
National Development-acquired Unicorn Park is one of National Development's high profile acquisitions. Purchased in partnership with Charles River Realty Investors and CIGNA, this premier suburban office park consists of 601,164 square feet of Class A office within six buildings on 29 acres about 15 minutes north of Boston. The site offers a commanding highway presence along I-93 and features two fitness centers, three cafeterias, a conference facility, and is adjacent to a hotel.
Upon acquisition, the park was leased to 52 tenants ranging in size from 1,300 s.f. to 46,000 s.f. As the new owner, National Development initiated a significant capital improvement program to improve the property. This plan is focused on maximizing tenant retention and attracting new tenants to the park. Focal points of the improvement plan include major site landscaping improvements, new park signage, the installation of energy saving lighting and significant common area upgrades to select buildings. National Development's strategy also includes redevelopment, sale or partnering with major tenants on select individual buildings within the park.
Longwood Center
Boston, MA
A 414,000 s.f. life science research building located in the heart of Boston's Longwood Medical Area, in joint venture with Alexandria Real Estate Equities
Longwood Center
Boston, MA
Specialized Building for Life Sciences
The property was permitted in 2003 for a 600,000 s.f. mixed-use project that included a 30-story residential tower. National Development assessed the economic feasibility of the project and determined that the best use for the site would be a nine story, 425,000 s.f. life science research building with no housing component. The new building, Longwood Center, is designed to accommodate a mix of lab, clinical and office uses for institutional and corporate tenants seeking space in the Longwood area.
What did the National Development team need to accomplish in order to make the Longwood Center project a success? First, we needed to act quickly. The land acquisition deal was signed and the acquisition completed in a lightning-fast, ninety-day period. Second, it needed community involvement. The project team began to work with the construction manager, city officials, area constituents, and designers to ensure that the project met the needs of the life sciences market and the rigorous demands of the community.

A Building for Learning
Our experience extends to all types of projects including schools and day care centers. JCDS turned to us to find them a new home. We helped locate and acquire a former industrial building and investigated the feasibility of converting it to a school.
Working to meet an aggressive schedule to have the building ready for the upcoming school year, we led the team's efforts on programming and design. We were challenged to meet the innovative open classroom curriculum of the school. An important part of our work was to assist the non-profit with budget planning and making cost-value decisions during the design process. The project involved creating outdoor areas including playing fields and a connection to an on-site pond for programmatic use.
National Development has collaborated with other non-profits on school, synagogue, senior housing and residential projects. We consider our work with religious and charitable organizations an ideal way for us to use our skills to help in our communities.

The Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium has renewed a statewide agreement with Microsoft that was originally signed in 1999.
The agreement will extend to 2015 and gives institutions in the MEEC access to Microsoft technologies including:
The MEEC includes more than 250 public and private educational institutions serving more than 1.4 million students. According to information released by Microsoft, the agreement has saved the state of Maryland "tens of millions of dollars each year for the past 10 years in licensing educational technology."
"In a tough economy, the Consortium's agreement with Microsoft has helped us provide a more consistent set of technologies supporting all levels of education across the state of Maryland," said Don Spicer, associate vice chancellor and chief information officer, University System of Maryland. "Without the power of big organizations in the state helping the smaller schools, there would have increasingly been a digital divide."

Interesting argument among string-thinkers

recent post at spr by Jeffery Winkler contributed to the debate between the anthropic and mis-anthropic camps within Stringery
Jeffery cites an earlier exchange between Thomas Larsson and Lubos Motl.
Larsson wrote, 22 Sept:
[[Now I am starting to worry seriously, since I agree with you for the third time. But your comment puzzles me, provided that it means that you are dismissing the anthropic principle (this is how I read the lines above). Leonard Susskind, of whom you have spoken highly before, seems to be deeply rooted in the anthropic camp, see
http://www.arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0302219 .
Is Susskind wrong? ]]
Motl replied, 22 Sept:
[[Yes, I think so. ;-) If you read the New York Times from September 2nd (?) or directly e.g.
you will see that our mis-anthropic camp is not weaker, and Gross and Witten, among others, are reliable members of our camp! ;-) ]]
Larsson responded:
[[The anthropic principle is gaining popularity. In the abstract of
Banks, Dine and Gorbatov write "We conclude that one must invoke a strong version of the anthropic principle. "
This seems to be quite a turnaround. A few months ago, Banks wrote in
http://www.arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0306074 , p 48:
"We must ask ourselves whether we are really doing science. So must anyone who indulges in anthropic speculation."
It is also quite different from ref 21, where Motl and two of the authors critized the use of the strong selection principle (the insistence on carbon based life) as overly parochial, see p 21.]]
At this point, having cited these portions of the 22 Sept exchange, Jeffery Winkler chimed in as follows:
[[ I think Lenny Susskind's descriprion of the antropic principle is
basically true. Let's say the entire Universe is infinite but our
observable universe is finite, you could imagine that distant parts of the Universe would correspond to different points within the string vacua, and all points would be realized somewhere, but the section of the Universe that contains our observable universe would correspond to one of the few areas in which life is possible, which explains why we're here. You can use this to explain why our observable universe has the properties it does. You can explain things that can't be otherwise explained. There's other ways of using the anthropic principle, such in the brane world, our universe is a 3-brane, and there would be other 3-branes, or other D-branes with dimension differen than 3, and with different toplogy, they different laws of physics, and ours is one of the few in which life is possible.
So, I don't think there's anything wrong with the anthropic principle. If you take M-theory + inflationary cosmology + anthropic principle, you get the majority view among physicists.

Larsson says the paper by Banks, Dine, Gorbatov (BDG) which he cites"seems" to be quite a turnaround. but this is going by the abstract and looking into the main text will correct that misapprehension----BDG have not switched over to the anthropic side. This tends to confirm Motl's claim that the mis-anthropic camp has not grown weaker (as it still contains prominent figures such as Witten, Banks, Dine.....Motl himself and so on)
"The second possibility, which at first sight might seem appealing in this [Susskind] context, is to implement a version of the anthropic principle.
It is clear that in the context of the [Susskind] landscape, this is the only way in which to explain the value of the cosmological constant, and probably several other quantities of low energy physics.
But we will see that in the flux discretuum, such a viewpoint will almost inevitably lead to predictions which are false."

Banks and Dine (and Gorbatov) have certainly not defected to the anthropic camp! They are using his dependence on Anthropism as a talking point against Susskind. Here's a brief exerpt from their recent 39 page paper
"Is There a String Theory Landscape?"
[[...We have previously presented [21] a variety of arguments against the utility of the anthropic principle in models of this type. In asking about anthropic vacuum selection, we distinguished
two possibilities, which we will refer to as the Strong Selection and the Weak Selection principles. The weak selection principle asserts that any states which meet some very minimal criteria for the existence of life the formation of structure in the universe, perhaps of stars, and the like, are acceptable. The strong selection principle postulates the necessity for our own type of carbon based life. The weak selection principle is a very reasonable constraint on mathematical theories of the universe, but is not very powerful. Given a collection of low energy gauge groups and representations, we simply do not understand enough about complex phenomena in (the various possible analogs of) low energy nuclear physics, much less (exo)biology, to assert that life is or is not possible.
In [21], we presented a variety of arguments against the utility of even the strong selection principle in models of the class exemplified by the flux discretuum. In this paper we modify and extend those arguments, explaining why the predictions of the strong selection principle within the framework of these models , are likely to differ widely from experimental values of many parameters.
Apart from these negative comments, we note that there is one prediction that the flux vacuum might make: low energy supersymmetry. In particular, we explain why the vast majority
of vacua with suitable cosmological constant, and suitable weak gauge hierarchy, are likely to exhibit some form of low energy supersymmetry. This is not necessarily a success; again, withinthe framework of the strong anthropic selection principle, our arguments suggest that the flux discretuum is not likely to agree with experiment. Some, though not all, of these observational problems are linked to the prediction of low energy SUSY...]]

The clearest brief comment on the clash over Anthropism between Banks (anti) and Susskind (pro) that I have seen was by someone outside the immediate arena, a mathematician at Columbia who teaches math-physics: Peter Woit. Woit the outsider knows people on both sides of the debate. Here is his Tuesday post on usenet spr:

might want to take a look at a new preprint whose
co-authors include two prominent senior string theorists:
Their title is "Is there a string theory landscape?" and
they begin with the statement "String Theory has always been
plagued by a plethora of solutions which do not describe
the real world" and go on to note that in recent years
new such solutions have appeared ("flux compactifications").
Some estimate that there are at least 10^1000 families of
such solutions.
The authors go on to note that some string theorists are now claiming that string theory might somehow still be salvaged as a theory with predictive value by invoking an anthropic principle.
Whatever mysterious process magically picks out the solution we find ourselves in, it must be capable of supporting life, and maybe solutions of this kind actually predict something. The authors conclude that this is not the case, that: "many features of anthropically selected flux compactifications are likely to disagree with experiment".
The string theory community seems to be cracking up into
two pieces:
1. Those who argue that string theory basically
can't be used to ever predict anything, but since you
thus can't show it is wrong, you should believe
it anyway, invoking some deus ex machina that determines
everything that isn't explained by the standard model.
2. Those who argue "Never, never, never, never give up!"
(see David Gross's summary talk at Strings 2003), which
seems to mean "our colleagues in camp 1 aren't doing science
anymore, but even though we don't have a glimmer
of an idea about how to ever get a prediction out of string
theory, we have far too much invested in it to admit
By the way, in case one has heard that string theory
is an incredibly sophisticated mathematical formalism
that requires years of mathematical training to follow,
this new preprint has few equations and high school math
is all that is needed to understand most of them, except
perhaps for an ODE or two that you might need a first-year
calculus class to understand. As with the rest of this
kind of literature, while the math is straightforward, the
physics is obscure beyond belief.]]
End quote. Woit teaches Quantum Field Theory and the graduate level group representation course at Columbia. Interesting viewpoint. What Susskind calls a "landscape"----the selection problem presented by a proliferation of predictively insufficient theories----is what Banks et al call a "discretuum"
(by analogy with continuum, the word suggests a discontinuous infinity of choices)
And Woit, using more ordinary english terminology, calls it a "plethora".
Well, "landscape", "discretuum", or "plethora"----whatever: a kettle of fish

I just noticed a fascinating exchange between two of our fellow PFers. It really deserves study since it bears on string/brane thought.
As you know there was a huge outpouring of string/brane research papers during the 1990s, which has slacked off considerably. It appears to me (but certain others deny this!!!) that research interest is shifting to actually quantizing General Relativity, so far the loop, spin network, spin foam etc is the only active program doing that. So my personal opinion is the heyday of string is past and one's time is better spent trying to follow what is currently going on in loop quantum gravity and loop quantum cosmology.
But everyone is welcome to follow whatever! Intellectual freedom is basic here! So I wish all string/braners well and good luck!
Also we get good notices for our LQG threads----Rutwig dropped in twice and commended me on some explanation---another time Lubos Motl cited the LQG thread I started on Stone-vonNeumann and gave a link in SPR to it. And some people drop in and participate constructively.
but others may feel threatened by LQG threads and wish to divert them into disagreeable personal bickering, here an EXCUSE is given for doing that. Apparently it is based on this person's view of the typical PF poster as naive---unable to think for him or her self and thus liable to be DECEIVED by reading a post about LQG. (my guess is that anybody who reads a LQG thread can think for themselves just fine---propaganda begins with a failure to respect the reader and its not how I operate)
Anyway this is a really enlightening post from the "What's with string theory?" thread:
I'm not worried about people who like me can evaluate theories on their own. I'm worried about the 99.9 % of the people here who've decided to invest time (and as you know this sort of physics is difficult and demands much energy) in learning about what drives current research in QQ - which of course is SMT (String/M-theory, or as I like to call it these days, S&MT) and not LQG or any of the other small scale research programs - but are easily mislead, intentionally or not, into believing that because it's not "background-independent", they should forget about SMT, and thus virtually everything that's going on in theoretical physics these days. For example, I don't think you appreciate how monumentally important SMT has and continues to be in moving forward ideas in connection with QFT, cosmology, and mathematics. As well, the people in LQG are constantly on the lookout for a way to connect LQG to SMT. Do you think they'd be doing that if they felt the same way about SMT as some of the people here do?
Also, we're not talking about politics in which opinion and fact are closely mixed. We're talking about an exact science in which there is a an extremely strong relation between what is currently the most popular idea and what is in fact currently our best idea. I don't think the right place for neophytes to start is with polemical papers or the jaundiced and ill-informed personal opinions of others. Consider the thread begun by marcus entitled "String irrelevant to quantizing General Relativity (quantum spacetime geometry)". Now, technically, he was talking about quantizing GR directly which is not what SMT does (this is in fact why LQG was so unlikely to ever work), but I'm pretty sure he knew that the people here would not pick up on that subtlety.
Get this:
Now, technically, he was talking about quantizing GR directly which is not what SMT does (this is in fact why LQG was so unlikely to ever work), but I'm pretty sure he knew that the people here would not pick up on that subtlety.
But I was confident that PF posters who were savy enought to read the thread would pick up on the fact that I was talking about directly quantizing GR--which I've emphasized repeatedly until I'm blue in the face. It is not such a subtle point: String/Brane does not quantize General Relativity (as this poster notes)
and String/Brane theory does not try to quantize GR because back 18 or 19 years ago when the second string wave got rolling it was thought to be a deadend or impossible or not the thing to do---particle physicists circa 1990 thought that trying to quantize GR would lead to failure! So they took another tack and there was the boom in string research of the 1990s leading to a proliferation of theories with little in the way of testable results.
Im basically just paraphrasing Rovelli's sketch of the history.
This HEP belief from earlier times is reflected in saying---right, string/brane theory does not quantize GR and LQG does and this is "in fact the reason that LQG was so unlikely ever to work".
Ah hah! We see that even today there are people still clinging to the idea that it is a bad idea (a research deadend) to try to directly quantize GR in the way that classical theories are normally quantized.
Logical consequence (?): marcus is bad because he might mislead innocent juveniles into supposing that it wasnt a bad idea to try to quantize GR---and wasnt necessarily doomed to failure! Wow!
So the innocent juveniles of PF should be protected from this harmful influence. It might cause them to waste their time.
Well, you know IMHO for a young person nowadays it is a waste of time for them to start trying to learn string. It is a waste of time because GR is becoming more important (dark energy, BB, BH, observational cosmology, removal of BB singularity etc and much more) and the more interesting GR gets the more important and interesting it is to quantize it------Tom Banks a prominent string guy was making a related point in his critique of string.
(the internal critics are the best)
But I am happy for people to learn whatever they want!!!! I dont have any urge to defend people from being bamboozled into learning string theory or believing outdated claptrap. I would not stand in those defender-of-the-innocent shoes for anything. Smart people, young or old, can make up there own minds and what they do is their business.
And there always are some who drop into LQG threads, presumably with their eyes open---"mature individuals" like selfAdjoint who really helped out before the format change, on several.
That reminds me, selfAdjoint said something interesting just before that. I will get it

Yeah, the thread was supposed to be "What is it with String theory?" Which is interesting---there has been growing criticism
from within and without (I dont mean from LQG people who are busy with their own thing) because of not being science in a conventional sense, not falsifiable. So what is it, a belief system?
So people like Larsson and Woit are bearing down in SPR and defenders are getting a little hysterical. So it is an interesting topic "What is it with String Theory?" An observer can go to Usenet and find out. One can talk about it. It has a bearing on what science is or has always been.
So Jeff starts to protect Mentat from being influenced and says: remember there are tens of thousands of string papers! String is what the majority believe in! LQG is negligible!
The LQG business is irrelevant, the thread is about criticism that has arisen of stringery---not from LQG people or involving LQG---because the research is not showing signs of producing after 18 or however many years.
But then selfAdjoint says a very interesting thing----the validity of research is not in the numbers that join the parade!!!!!!!!
I'm thrilled. Let me quote the whole post:
Jeff, I can't help but find this post irrelevant. I am sure that in other contexts you would be eager to disavow the idea that correctness in science is to be determined by headcount.
The response of physicists to the various initiatives of stringy physics has been described (perhaps unfairly caricatured) as a feeding frenzy. Certainly an awful lot of the papers on hep-th will not be cited say, five years from now. This could be true of the LQG papers too, of course, but which is which cannot be determined until the physical consequences are worked out.
a bit of genuine understanding of what science is about creeps in.
the fact that tens of thousands of papers were written in the 1990s is irrelevant, what is happening now and in particular what is getting cited. Arxiv has this great feature that gives you a handle on how important a paper has been for other reasearchers---a robot counts the number of other papers citing the given one.
But in the end even those numbers dont matter. What matters is nature's numbers----the test of a theory's predictions (if it makes any) by experimental measurements
What the string-thinkers are arguing about---and raising the sad prospect of the "anthropic principle" and dividing into camps and squabbling about among themselves---is fundamentally this: the failure of string to make testable predictions.
I thought Peter Woit characterized the situation well, with the two camps, or was that Lubos Motl who described it as two camps? Well, to be continued.

Marcus I hate this fight. Both the near flame war here on PF and the Woit - Baez - Motl smackdown over at spr.
It's not just the disagreeable posts that get me, but what this may be saying about the state of research. If any of the spr participants had a thought of how to move forward they'd be doing it. Instead they squabble over who's ahead.
Baez seems to be spending his time on other stuff.
Motl should be doing M theory (well he is) but he wastes time doing these BH mode calculations to stick it to LQG. Counterproductive.
My idea is your idea before Jeff abraded you so much. Let everybody work at what they think is best and let nobody waste time and energy attacking others' work.

and engaged you in an argument---effectively stopping the threads---but I didnt say a word: just went away.
I think people should leave each other alone and not waste time on acrimony and derogatory comments. I was having a conversation with Mentat and Jeff stepped in and started tearing me down-----believe it or not, I was willing to ignore this (I put up with a lot because I'm basically a pacific animal, a herbivore rather than a carnivore) but Mentat said: "I expected you to reply to Jeff! why didn't you counter his criticism?" So I felt compelled to respond. But usually I either dont read his posts or just let them pass.
I leave Jeff completely alone and would like him to return the courtesy. I have no animosity against him---just find contact with him a waste of time.
Now to something more interesting! I am excited by your comment on the discussion at SPR! So many people have jumped in. Aside from Baez himself (who is actually rather forbearing and not all that active in it, it seems to me) the discussion has no LQG people that I recognize. It is all string people and miscellaneous non-string. There seem to be real issues being raised of what is science and what is non-science or pseudoscience---what the standards should be. I am glad you commented on this especially because I respect both your decency (from what I have seen) and your judgement. will think about this some more and perhaps reply later about the String Fracas at Usenet SPR.

But people interested in studying QG have every right to know that SMT does dominate all other QG research and that this fact cannot be attributed to mere differences of opinion, psychology or politics: LQG and SMT are not and have never been by any practical measures equals. The reason why you hear about LQG rather than the other small scale research programs in QG has as much to do with PR as with LQG itself.
Once again and for the record, I believe that background-independence is a necessary ingredient in any successful QGT. But just because a theory is background-independent doesn't mean it's correct. In fact, what LQG shows in hindsight is that it's really quite simple to construct such a theory. The tough part is to find one that is relevant to our universe, and results obtained so far indicate that LQG doesn't.

Hearing the Russian boy complaining that play golf is too difficult, Mr. H, also a customer at the resort taught the boy to play golf.
While instructing the boy, H accidently whipped the club to his face, making six teeth broken and facial injuries.
On August 14, Mr. H. and the boy's family agreed on $12,000 compensation to treat the wounds. The same day, the Russian family returned home.

my fitness dramatically and positively effected my performance in biking, water skiing, hiking, kayaking and canoeing. I have found all of the people at Sense of Balance to be extremely competent, helpful and enthusiastic."
When I got their I was greeted by two friendly trainers.They made me feel comfortable right away.The workout was amazing and it was only 30 minutes.I'm sore in places I didn't even know I had. (all the right places)They took time to go over nutrition and my goals.I'm really excited about reaching my goals at "
it was foreign to me to have to eat 5 or 6 times a day, which the program required. After starting the program, it seemed to me that I was always eating, and I didn't see how it could possibly help me "
I had been having problems with my foot ever since prior incident that resulted in PAIN. I was in mortal pain and didn't know what to do. About that same time I was told that I had plantar fasciitis. My friend did too. She went in and had surgery on her heel. I opted not to, and continued gimping along. I was faithfully wearing a brace at night that was supposed to help. It did not. The physical therapy I had tried hadn't yielded any lasting results either. My family and I were downtown and saw the ROSBS stretch therapy booth, particularly the sign, which read, "Tell me what hurts". After that first visit, I returned every week for a month. At the end of the first treatment I noticed such improvement. By the end of the first month, I KNEW I had made the right choice not having the surgery. My friend is still in flat shoes….Not me! I'm wearing all my favorites. NO more pain at all. "
It is convenient. The equipments there is not new, but they get the job done and that is all what matters. They do both fitness center and they also provide fitness training. Their charges are about $29 a month. The place is clean."

Sainte Maxime, the quieter, more peaceful and family-friendly neighbor of Saint Tropez, has all you need for a calm and culturally rich vacation. The white sand beaches along the coast might echo the highly sought- after beaches of its more famous neighbor, but the quiet village with its markets, quaint customs, and interesting architecture belong solely to Sainte Maxime. This Time & Place destination combines the joie-de-vivre of provencal France and the allure of the French Riviera for a unique and satisfying vacation.
Activities on the pristine waters are popular here and you will find beaches dedicated to swimming, sailing instruction, diving instruction, as well as one specifically for water skiing and jet skiing. In the village you will find many shops and cafes as well as lovely old buildings that rise elegantly from the cobblestoned streets. Some of the architecture is historically significant, dating back hundreds of years, and is tempered by stylish villas built in the early twentieth century. Sainte Maxime also has a friendly population of villagers whose families have likely lived in the area for many generations and they are happy to continue with the town's annual traditions such as the May Day festival and the celebration of the town's namesake: Sainte Maxime.
As you wander through the village and on the beaches, you will soon learn why Sainte Maxime has attracted poets, artists, and writers for many years; they have found inspiration in the beautiful scenery and the 300 days of sunshine per year.
Sainte Maxime is magical in its simplicity and you may find yourself lured into the gentle rhythm of delightful days and unforgettable nights in this unique town. Enjoy your stay in a luxury vacation home with Time & Place. Contact our travel team today!
Our Concierges look forward to curating and creating unforgettable experiences for you and our family and friends. Here are some examples of things they can plan for you while staying in Sainte Maxime with Time & Place:

Life was tough for Queen Victoria. During her reign in the late 1800s, vacation was an ordeal. Just to enjoy a little royal R and R at her favorite hotel on the French Riviera, she'd have to tow along a staff of 60 to 100 of her peeps. They shipped in her own bed and her own food(!) Things have changed on the French Riviera. You don't have to squeeze into a cramped, noisy hotel. You and your entourage can spread out in a world-class luxury villa where every bed is fabulous. Here's how you'll vacation BETTER than royalty in the exclusive, ultra-glam principalities that dot the Cote d'Azur:
Fishing has long been a part of life in Sainte Maxime, enjoy the fruits of the sea with freshly caught fish for dinner.
Tour an olive oil mill, learn how to taste olive oil and take home some of this "liquid gold."
You are on the Mediterranean… make the most of it by chartering a yacht!

Day Twenty-Two
... excited, welcoming us into their game right away. This was the best moment of my whole trip in Japan.
I was playing soccer with Japanese students my age in the most beautiful weather. We played with a futsal, which is a heavier and smaller type of ball usually used for indoor soccer in the states. After playing for about an hour we had to say our goodbyes and continue back to the ship but not without a full photo shoot, of course. ...
Matty and the blowfish....
... br>
Next....booking trains for Hiroshima...done and easy peasy:) then train to Dotonbori area in Namba. This is a mad shopping area with countless restaurants all around the river side.
We never found it on our first trip to Osaka...and we missed out! It's crazy....tons of people hanging out, shopping, people watching and of COURSE eating. Osaka is after all 'japan's kitchen'
We found the giant crab, and blowfish, along with loads of ...
As Good A Reason
... our next moves. Packing and folding and organizing. Canceling phones and arranging our visas. We also both needed to apply for extra passport pages -- we'd managed to fill all the pages.
"I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live, and could not spare any more time for that one."
― Henry David Thoreau
Bring on the Sushi
... Tokyo,the Edo period to be precise. It was really fascinating to learn how he now Tokyo developed. How people used to be paid in rice and how they lived in those times. I forgot to mention about the rickshaws i've seen in the city too. A Japanese invention where a man pulls two people round the town in a carriage using only his own strength and fitness. No motor no bike no nothing! Thats certainly one way to get fit.
Anyway so After spending a little too long there it ended up being ...
Kyoto ... So Refined
... late getting back to the city bus. But Akagi-san had raced ahead a had the driver wait for us. Our arrival was timed nicely and we caught the train back to Kyoto. If we had missed the bus, we would have had to take taxies in order to stay on schedule. Even though we seemed to be going at a relaxed pace, everything in the day was tightly choreographed. The Japanese seem to know how to schedule.

Listener/reader Rob Bloom sends us this funny short film, for which he wrote the screenplay.
His screenplay for the film won a big contest, and was produced by the UCB Theatre and directed by Maggie Carey, whose work we've featured here before. As a result of the contest, you might see the film as pre-show entertainment the next time you go to the movies.
Also worth checking out: Carey's "Jeannie Tate Show," which also features her husband Bill Hader.
The tendrils of the maximumfun.org empire continue to spread ever outward...
Over at The Coming, the burgeoning Los Angeles wing of The Apiary's comedy blog empire, you can find an interview with yours truly.
I talked with Megan Berru about the origins of The Sound, the time I complained about the line at the UCB, and how scared I was to interview Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam.
Scott Dikkers served as Editor-in-Chief of The Onion from 1989 to 2000, when he left for the warmer climes of Hollywood. He returned to The Onion in 2005.
We talk with Scott about The Onion's newest venture: Onion News Network. It's one of The Onion's most ambitious ventures into non-text media, and will feature parodies of cable news, Sunday-morning talk shows and C-Span. The network's motto is: "You'll never read again."

Our hottest new iTunes review:
"I tried hard to like this podcast. I listened to about a dozen installments. Guests were interesting. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the behavior of the host. He speaks in an affected radio voice, steps all over his guests with his 'witty anecdotes,' and keeps referring to himself, in the third person, as "America's radio sweetheart."
If this podcast gets a new host, I'll be back on board. Until then, I remain unsubscribed."
From our mailbag!
"Hello Jesse,
Well, since you asked for it, I'm writing in with some thoughts regarding your radio show that is now being broadcast via WNYC here in NYC.
I must say I had an immediate (negative) response to your self-assigned title of "America's Radio Sweetheart." What's that all about? And what gave you the balls to give yourself that title? I mean, someone like Ira Glass is indeed America's Radio Sweetheart - but only bc he's been the radio f o r e v e r and bc he is broadcast all across our country. Just thinking it's a bit premature to be self-assigning such a title to yourself! sheesh.
A bit presumptuous, heh?
So what makes you YOUNG anyway? We have NO IDEA how old you are - I wld think if you're gonna lay claim to YOUNG you'd better qualify yourself. Sounds to me as to you're around 45, btw. And your subjects haven't exactly been cutting-edge "young."
Dunno why, but WNYC has been running your add ad naseum - I honestly don't want to hear it ONE MORE TIME. I don't want to hear that you're "marginally employed" and that you make good meatballs. PUHlease.
The show? Guess the show is OK. Heard your bit with Amy Sedaris. Heard yesterday's show with live mic guys from the 70's - a WHOLE HOUR on these guys, I ask you? Cudda been a twelve minute segment.
Anyway, as you wld say, thanks for listening.
XXXXX in Brooklyn"

Or how about this -- send an email to your local public radio station saying you love The Sound of Young America, and would love to hear it on their airwaves!
The Sound of Young America / MaximumFun.org SoCal meetup is Friday, April 13th, 2007.
Mark your calendar for 8PM. We'll meet at the Bourgeois Pig, at 5931 Franklin Ave in LA. This moderately insufferable coffeehouse is right next door to our next stop, and we can have some cups of Morrocan mint tea.
Then, we'll catch the late show at the UCB (should start at 9:30) -- it's The Match Game, starring podcast superstar Jimmy Pardo and friends. Hopefully one of us will win the hundred dollar prize and cover everyone's outlay on overpriced tea a few hours earlier.
All in all, ten or fifteen bucks well spent, says I.
One note: the Match Game will require reservations. They're not available yet, but I will post here on the blog and on the forum when they are. When you make your reservations, please email me your confirmation as an RSVP, so I know how many people to expect.
