I'm an actress and voiceover talent (and sometimes director, producer, casting director, writer, kazoo player, Korean drum player, and improviser, depending on the day) who has over 200 voiceover credits to my name, with internationally renowned clients including Samsung, Johnson and Johnson, Apple and Japan Airlines. My voice can be heard in commercials, iPhone apps, animation, museum audio guides, games, and even in-flight videos, both in the US and abroad. My non-traditional path to attaining success in voiceover work has given me valuable insights into the myriad ways in which actors can take control of their careers, which I love to share!
First of all, I am first and foremost an actor. I started running my own classes and events to address some needs of my own and of others actors that I didn't feel were being adequately met. One thing I had found frustrating in looking for voiceover classes and events in NYC was that I never found events that "had it all". I wanted to find classes/events that were...
I would consistently find things that fit two or three of the above, but RARELY all of them, especially for events that brought in industry guests. But now--finally!--there are classes that satisfy ALL of the above criteria. Every class I plan is from the unique perspective of both a participant and an instructor, allowing me to provide a great experience for everyone involved. In fact, I will often get up at the mic right along with everyone else at many of my classes, before coming back around behind the mic to teach and direct. I love getting to work on both sides of the mic, connecting with both my students and guests! With providing good, personal experiences for everyone involved as my primary goal, I limit my class sizes to some of the smallest in NYC, allowing everyone plenty of time to work on-mic. I am always careful in balancing the class time:size:cost ratio to allow the best possible experience for their investment. Everyone gets to hear and benefit from everyone else's work, so everyone can benefit from the entire class. And I'm always open to comments and suggestions, implementing them when I am able to create the best experience possible for my students. :)
I am happy to offer classes that provide individualized instruction at group rates. Come join us and see the difference for yourself! :)

An audio recording of my talk on "The Social Construction of Race" from the Socialism 2014 conference in Chicago is now available online at wearemany.org (as are many, many fabulous talks by fantastic speakers). As you'll hear, this is basically a collection of thoughts I've been having lately about the concepts of race and of racism, particularly influenced by the recent (and rather provocative) book by Barbara Fields and Karen Fields, Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life.
Download the talk or listen to it streaming online here.
¡Compañeros! Dowloadable half-page Hawkins/Jones campaign leaflets EN ESPAÑOL are now online! These leaflets highlight our push to raise the minimum wage in NY to $15 an hour. This demands resonates with people everywhere we go — so don't hesitate to print and distribute as many of these leaflets as you can!
You can find all of our leaflets (along with sign-up sheets and voter registration forms… and more leaflets to come) online here.
This Friday is our first financial filing deadline. We don't have the kind of friends with deep pockets that Cuomo has, and we like it that way. Financial independence is the basis of political independence. Please help us make the strongest possible showing this Friday by making an online donation today.
¡Vota Partido Verde!
Everyday I get messages of support from people who are rooting for the Hawkins/Jones campaign for Governor & Lt. Governor of New York. If you are one of those supporters, now is the time to take action. I hope you will take a few minutes and make a donation to our campaign.
Andrew "Governor 1%" Cuomo has a $33 million war chest that mostly comes from about 900 people. Howie Hawkins and I — candidates for the 99% — want to demonstrate at our July 11th filing deadline that we have more supporters than Cuomo, even if we can't match his millions.
Your contribution makes it possible for our messages to get to every corner of New York State. Education historian Diane Ravitch summed up that message perfectly on her blog:
"Cuomo has been a strong proponent of privatization of education, including charter schools. Cuomo has received significant funding from hedge funds that find charter schools incentives to be highly profitable investments. Howie and the Green Party support progressive taxation, fully-funded schools, renewable energy, single-payer health care, $15 minimum wage and a New York that works for the 99%."
Thank you!
Tomorrow — Thursday, June 26 — the Socialism Conference begins in Chicago. I'll be speaking there on Saturday on a panel with Jill Stein, Jorge Mujica, and Howie Hawkins called "Political Alternatives to the Two Parties of Capital". On Sunday I'm giving a talk called "The Social Construction of Race". I'm also hosting discussions of the play MOM BABY GOD on Friday and of the film Black Power Mixtape on Sunday — what a weekend! I hope to see you all there. You can download the final program here.
Come and join the Howie Hawkins/Brian Jones Green Party Campaign for Governor & Lt. Governor of New York State as it launches its New York City Campaign Committee.
The Hawkins/ Jones campaign is building a team of activists here in NYC, looking to bring the fight to Andrew Cuomo into the Five Boroughs!
This campaign is calling for progressive taxation of the rich, equitable funding and desegregation of our schools, ending the criminalization of drug use, single-payer health care for NY state, the development of green energy infrastructure, and more! Read our platform here.
Now is the time to build a campaign that can give political voice to the working class communities across New York City, that can strengthen our movements and take another crucial step toward building a political party independent of corporate interests and the 1%.
We need your help building this campaign across New York City — join us!
(Pizza and refreshments provided. Donation encouraged.)
The Hawkins/Jones campaign begins now! This week we launched Educators, Parents, and Students for Hawkins/Jones with about 40 initial endorsements. The list of endorsers keeps growing! Click here to visit the page and add your name at the bottom. This will be a big weekend for us. On Saturday night we're hosting a Left Forum after-party featuring Seattle's socialist city council member, Kshama Sawant. Get tickets online here. The next day Howie and I are on a panel talking about building an independent alternative to Cuomo. See details here. Unlike Cuomo, our campaign will NOT run on million-dollar grease. If you support this campaign and want to make a contribution, please donate here. Thank you!
It's official! On Saturday, Howie Hawkins was nominated to be the Green Party's candidate for Governor of New York, and I was nominated to be their candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Together we plan to take on Andrew "Governor 1%" Cuomo and his priorities.
Howie Hawkins is proposing a Green New Deal for New York State, which includes raising the minimum wage to $15/hour and indexing it to inflation, single-payer health care, and building New York's renewable energy infrastructure. Of course, I will speak out far and wide about the need to stop the privatization of our schools, the need to promote desegregation and equity in school funding, and to stop using high stakes standardized tests to measure teaching and learning. We need to end the war on drugs, move to a treatment model for people who suffer from addictions, legalize marijuana, and ban "the box" on job, school, and housing applications, and make NY a sanctuary state for immigrants… and more! Read Howie Hawkins' full platform here.
In order to promote these politics far and wide, we are going to need your help. You can start by making a donation to this campaign — large or small, we need them all!
This will be a grassroots effort, relying on ordinary people to make it work. If you can, please sign up to work with us on the Hawkins/Jones campaign!
See you on the campaign trail!
On Monday I had the honor of joining Danny Glover, Kathleen Cleaver, and Michelle Materre at The New School in a discussion of the book (based on the film) The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975. The full video of the event is now online here. Göran Olsson discovered this gorgeous journalistic footage of the American Black Power movement in a Swedish archive, and had the brilliant idea to weave in the voices of contemporary American artists, historians and activists to discuss the impact and relevance of those events. The footage is gorgeous, and the insight into one of the most rebellious periods of American social history is priceless. You can watch the film on Netflix, but definitely buy the book — here.
I picked up three new books at the New York Collective of Radical Educators conference last weekend in downtown Brooklyn. Parents, teachers, and students who are looking for clear, accessible reading material on the fight to defend and improve public education should snatch these up!
Badass Teachers Unite! Writing on Education, History, and Youth Activism is a collection of writings by Mark Naison. I've admired Naison's work for a long time, and it was my honor to write the forward to this book. Naison's scope includes national policies that have attacked public education, stories of public school successes in New York City, and reflections on youth culture and resistance. The pieces are short and written in a conversational tone, which makes this is a very accessible book — perfect for reading on the train! Order copies here.
Class Action: An Activist Teachers' Handbook includes several short articles by different authors. The book represents a collaboration between Jacobin, the Caucus of Rank and File Educators caucus of the Chicago Teachers union and other allies. As the title implies, it is meant to be a practical guide to understanding the landscape of challenges for educators today and what teachers have done to try to transform their unions in order to fight back. Get a few copies for your co-workers and discuss over lunch! Download the PDF or order copies here.
Before she passed last fall, legendary Marxist scholar and activist Jean Anyon finished the second, revised edition of Radical Possibilities: Public Policy, Urban Education, and A New Social Movement. In this book, Anyon steps back from the schoolhouse to contemplate the way that inequality is deeply woven into the fabric of American society. She discusses the kinds of reforms that would be necessary to actually facilitate genuine teaching and learning, and for people to be able to live like human beings. In the final section she reflects on the lessons of previous social movements (especially the Civil Rights Movement) and discusses ways that educators are uniquely positioned to make a special contribution to the project of social change. I am reading the second edition now, and can't recommend it highly enough. Get your copy here.
For those who missed it, my debate on Democracy Now! with charter school leader Steve Barr (mainly of Green Dot fame) is now online here:
New York City's Charter School Showdown Re-Ignites National Debate on Privatized Education
As I mentioned on air, I'm not an expert on Green Dot schools or on Mr. Barr's record, but a quick Google search will reveal that there is more to the story than he lets on in this debate. For example, see here for reporting on his role in the Parent Trigger scandal in Los Angeles, and here for some information about Locke High school. Mr. Barr is right that many parents are desperate to find a better school for their children, but the selective nature of charter schools means that the good ones can only be a solution for some parents, and too often the voices of parents who want to see their public school improved are ignored.

Love them!

Been working on a lot of Subeta things lately. Here are my new banners for my art and graphic shops. The girl in the first one is my current HA, which I drew, and the Kumos in the second is my pet, Aurelius', current color overlay, that I edited.
Those of you who are Subeta Users, keep a look out for Kanpai_Panda's (thas me) shops that should be opening soon!
Repose, gracefully dreaming to a single star,
beyond this universe to a whole new land afar.
Dreaming of leaving this world and flying to the moon,
and coming home before all clocks strikes noon.
This twilight sky with the moon and star's exquisite,
yet we dream to the stars and moons to visit.
We stare at the stars wondering which is Heaven,
for want of the stars, this world wouldn't be liven.
- Adam M. Snow; excerpt from "Ode to a Twilight Sky".

Finally finished this piece! I really liked the work that I had put into the background and in his pose, but for some reason I got distracted from completing it.
Now that it's done, I can post it!
I think I would be more of a feathered serpent than an actual dragon, but they're both reptiles…so it's cool right?

I drew my current HA and first pet, Riley, from the Subeta pet site. We've both changed a lot over the years and I've gathered more pets along the way, but he will always be my favorite!
One sky, one destiny
Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds, but they share the same sky - one sky, one destiny.

So here's a picture of me. I'm wearing one of my comfy home outfits and sleeping with my new plushie, Pepper. I'm a pretty shy person before people get to know me, but once we become friends I'm all kinds of sunshine and rainbows. I do have my days where I'm kinda blue, but everyone does! The purple color for the background is also my favorite color, so pretty much everything in this picture says something about myself as a person.

In a commentary published at Yahoo News, former political and business consultant L. Vincent Poupard, believes that the "big 3 should stand their ground and give the UAW very little extra during these negotiations, if anything at all."
Poupard believes the first item to address by those in the automotive industry is to save not spend. He says, that it is imperative that a nest egg be put in place, in case, the bottom falls out again.
Poupard brings into question the motives of the UAW. Citing how the UAW is sniffing around looking for a bigger cut of the action.
Given that GM and Ford are finally showing profits, and Chrysler is still struggling after paying back the bail out money to the Canadian, Ontario provincial and American governments, Poupard believes that the UAW "is simply giving an appearance of greed."
We want to hear your opinions on this matter. Do you agree or disagree with Poupard's stance?

Set Sail For Adventure – Guns of Icarus Online
Avast ye landlubbers, and welcome aboard. Today we're testing the water with a new video format, we begin by getting to grips with the game as usual, the second half is a more critical discussion weighing good and bad. Let us know what you think.
Guns of Icarus is a curious ol' sea captain, an odd combination of slow-paced nautical manoeuvring and desperate hardware maintenance is required to succeed, both of which I appear to have failed in spectacular fashion.
There's only two modes on offer, in addition to the standard deathmatch skirmish is a node-based flag capture, unfortunately with ships moving at such a lethargic pace, I can only liken the latter to the world's most tedious carousel. An "adventure" mode is planned, which seems a much more appropriate use of the technology.
Adventure mode will add in persistent world features such as player factions, an expansive world map of trade routes and dynamic towns, and an economic system with resource production, commerce, and crafting that will supplement the game's core combat focus.
With that in mind, what we have at the moment is something of a tech demo, a proof of concept focussed around combat. Muse's long term vision is significantly more RPG or even MMO, "like a world map with towns, trade, and factions". It's an interesting idea unlike anything I've experienced, however at this point there isn't a whole lot for your £14.99. The inclusion of a real money store for cosmetic items does little to soften the blow, and as the video shows, default customisation is conspicuously barren.
Paying upfront for something I would likely pick up on release isn't a tough decision. I've thrown plenty of my hard earned at kickstarters and alphas recently, for me it's a way to vote with my wallet for games I'd like to encourage. Fifteen quid as an investment seems fair, and micro-transactions are optional. Surprisingly though, Muse have decided to charge extra for "adventure mode":
We will be charging additionally for Adventure-specific features and content, but we haven't decided on the precise format, and the final offering may be more flexible than a single DLC bundle.
This changes things. In it's current state I don't feel what's on offer is worth the money, and charging extra for fleshing out the bones pushes me even further away. Perhaps expanding the cosmetic options to include ships would make the store more viable, allowing one of these fees to be dropped.
Overall Guns of Icarus Online caters to an extremely specific niche. What's here works well for the most part, but it's difficult to recommend such a bare-bones experience for the cost, add micro-transactions and paid expansions to the mix and the cook might be forced to walk the plank.

Pretrial hearings are underway in the case against the man accused of masterminding the bombing of the U.S.S Cole 14 years ago. Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri could receive the death penalty for charges including terrorism and the killing of 17 soldiers. A new judge, Colonel Vance Spath, has just taken over the case at a military commission at Guantanamo Bay. In this week's Legal Loop, Tom Temin and Emily Kopp speak with Criminal Defense Attorney Brian Bouffard on the Federal Drive. He takes them inside the world of military commissions.

Perhaps nowhere in the federal workforce is trust more frail than in the intelligence community. It is still reeling from the revelations of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The Director of National Intelligence recently issued two policies to clamp down on employees' speech. The first says only a few authorized officials can talk with journalists. In this week's Legal Loop, Tom and Emily looked at the policy's impact on trust in the intelligence community as part of our special report, Trust Redefined: Reconnecting Government and Its Employees. Employment lawyer Debra Roth said on The Federal Drive the new policy stands out because it covers unclassified information.

Steve Ryan, Corporate Litigator at McDermott, Will and Emery
The Defense Department is not keeping track of all the senior officials who leave for jobs with contractors. Congress requires those officials, including flag officers and generals, to get written legal opinions before moving on. Lots of paperwork involved. But at DoD, the inspector general says the database that tracks the moves is incomplete. In this week's Legal Loop, Steve Ryan, an experienced corporate litigator and head of the government strategies practice at McDermott, Will and Emery, talks to Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp about the revolving door at the Pentagon.

How much control can agencies exert over employees' behavior when they are on work trips? And in social-work situations, what are the hard-and-fast rules that employees should follow? Two recent incidents make us ask. The Secret Service recently recalled three agents from an overseas trip after they were caught drunk. On the other hand, the Veterans Affairs Department has rehired an employee who admitted to drinking and driving on a business trip. A passenger fell out of his van and died. In this week's, Legal Loop, federal employment attorney Debra Roth discusses these thorny issues with Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.

The look the TEMPTU PRO Team created backstage for the Fall 2011 Odilon show, was definitely one of the most avant-garde looks we've created for New York Fashion Week. Now here's your chance to learn how to recreate the look yourself!
For her Fall 2011 collection, Stacey Clark designer of the California-based Odilon held a multi-media presentation for her Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week Debut.

The multi-media presentation included a short film by filmmaker Alia Raza featuring Hailey Gates, accompanied by a live music set by DJ Rachel Chandler. Artist / makeup artist William Lemon III will keyed the makeup for TEMPTU PRO.

What an amazing and moving article ("Exhibit transforms hate to hope," Jan. 7) about Turpin High School's Project Metamorphosis: Students Transforming Hate to Hope!
Teacher Tricia Buck has inspired her students to touch others and make a real difference with the goal of treating others more humanely.
Though we can't all sign the butterflies in the Turpin display, perhaps we can make our own butterfly. Then we can sign it, post it somewhere to see daily, and remind us of the pledge that we too can make — to treat others with love and respect.

Do you like to set goals? I do and I always have. As a kid, my goals were along the lines of, "I want have ice cream as quickly possible, and as much as possible." They've become a little more nuanced since then. But I still love to set them. I like the feeling of forward momentum that setting a goal brings to my life. I like the sense of clarity, of vision, and of fulfilling a mission that God has called me to. It helps keep me on track.
However, sometimes we all fall short of our finish line. The best intentions get waylaid, by multiple competing interests, by an extremely long "To-Do" list, or sometimes just by good old-fashioned procrastination.
I want to share with you a powerful secret to staying on track with your goals.
It is an accountability group.
Accountability groups exist in many different shapes and forms. From triathalon groups to Alcoholics Anonymous to business Mastermind groups, the idea is the same: together, we can encourage one another to achieve more than each of us can alone.
It is a powerful dynamic that you can apply to your own life.
Here are some key ingredients to forming an accountability group to keep you on track with your life goals:
This week's self-reflection: Am I truly a self-motivator, or can I reach my goals even more effectively through a group keeping me accountable? Can I, too, become a great encourager to others through such a group?
This week's call to action: Think of three people who you would like to encourage, and who you feel could encourage you. Pray about them! In the next month, commit to getting in touch with them, and suggest to them the idea of an accountability group. Brainstorm together about goals you'd like to reach, and how effective you could be in helping one another reach those goals.

( ESPN.com / Buffalo Bills release ) ORCHARD PARK, NY – The Buffalo Bills have announced the team has traded WR Lee Evans to the Baltimore Ravens for an undisclosed pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Channel 7's Jeff Russo talked with Evans from his home, with comments from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter broke this story on Friday.
The Bills will get a fourth-round pick in the 2012 draft from Baltimore.
Evans, considered a high-value vertical threat, had said this week that trade talks were just a part of the game.
"It's not a whole lot I can focus on because I have no control," Evans said Thursday. "My main goal is to do everything in my power to help this team win. That's what my focus is more so than anything."
With two years left on his contract, Evans said he hadn't asked for a trade.
Selected in the first round of the 2004 draft out of Wisconsin, Evans is the longest active-serving member of the Bills offense (not including kicker Rian Lindell), and the unquestioned leader of the team's young group of receivers.
Evans has surpassed 1,000 yards receiving twice, with his best season coming in 2006, when he had 82 catches for 1,292 yards and eight touchdowns.
Eyewitness Sports Director Jeff Russo will have the latest on Channel 7's Eyewitness News and online at wkbw.com.
Watch the Bills take on the Chicago Bears in the windy city Saturday at 8pm right after the "Countdown To Kickoff" special at 7:30pm on WKBW Channel 7, "Your Official Station Of The Buffalo Bills!"

while you're right that the test is probably an indicator of some deeper intellectual action going on inside the kids' heads, it's certainly worth studying whether just teaching kids to touch their toes when i say 'head' makes them smarter. if anything, it will prepare these kindergartners for twelve more years of public education where they're taught to succeed on standardized tests alone.

I think this is the article I remembered from teh Times on self-regulation. It seemed to suggest that letting kids organize themselves and solve problems on their own – without adults – was what instilled self-regulation. That would seem to counteract the ability to 'teach' self-regulation.
Having good self-regulation skills makes you good at X, and also makes you good at sitting down and reading, and good at following directions. Teaching X does not equate to teaching self-regulation. Someone who is good at logic is also good at crossword puzzles, so let's teach logic through crosswords!

There are lots of Spinach, Tomato recipes but when I checked this one is a little different. I threw it together and liked the result. I say it is for 2 but that is if it is served with a salad and a roll. Hope you enjoy it. I like lite Havarti but use your favorite cheese. The hot spice is optional but it does give some pep to the recipe. An 8" pie plate works but it needs to have at least 1 1/2 " sides. I used an 8" x 6" casserole dish. I used adobo chili pepper for my "Hot" spice.

Is Nicki Minaj a Feminist Icon?
Female rapper Nicki Minaj has faced criticism recently because she's a black woman wearing weird outfits and wigs (unlike white ladies doing the same shit — what up, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga?) and also because people think she only got a big break because Lil Wayne wanted to fuck her.
Regardless, Minaj is a talented woman making her way in an undoubtedly male-dominated game, where she is actually being celebrated. Sure, calling herself "Barbie" sometimes isn't exactly earning her any favor with feminists but her success is undoubtedly positive for women in the rap world.
Here, we present a break down of Minaj's verses in one of Kanye West's Good Friday releases, "Monster," with a feminist perspective:
"Pull up in the monster, automobile gangster, with a bad bitch that came from Sri Lanka"
Can you just picture Minaj rolling up alongside the big guys in the game — Kanye and Jay-Z like she totally belongs there? What other female artist right now can claim this kind of acceptance?
"Yeah I'm in that Tonka, color of Willy Wonka, You could be the King but watch the Queen conquer"
Does this need further explanation? It's like a feminist guidebook by verse two. That's right, male rappers, you could be "king" but bow down, because there's a new queen in town and she's not just here to sit beside you on the throne: bitch is here to CONQUER.
"Ok first things first I'll eat your brains, Then I'mma start rocking gold teeth and fangs cause that's what a muthafucking monster do, Hairdresser from Milan, thats what monster do, Monster Giuseppe heel that's the monster shoe"
In this verse, Minaj perfectly compliments fashion and looking her best with keeping her head about her and remaining smart. She's going to eat your brains (your knowledge, your ability to navigate the industry) but while she's doing it, she's also going to keep dressing how she does. She's a monster, the complete package, and she's not here to muthafucking compromise shit.
"Young money is the roster and the monster crew and I'm all up all up all up in the bank with the funny face and if I'm fake I aint notice cause my money aint, So let me get this straight wait I'm the rookie, But my features and my shows ten times your pay, 50k for a verse no album out! Yeah my money's so tall that my barbie's gotta climb it"
This is where she starts addressing the haters, as one is supposed to do in any good rap song, but also since she's got plenty of them, it only seems right. First, she acknowledges her acceptance into the Young Money crew, which for a woman, is a huge step. She's made some impressive strides for women in the rap game and she's letting everyone know it. She's also laughing all the way to the bank.
"Hotter than a middle eastern climate, find it 20 mataran dutty whine it, while it, Nicki on a pit while I sign it, how these niggas so one-track minded but really really I don't give a F-U-C-K"
This is where she talks about what was addressed in the intro to this piece: yes, if you're a hot successful woman, obviously the men around you in your field are going to try and objectify you. They're going to want to reduce you to being "hot" because they are "one-track minded" but if you stay focused, you can wade through all of that and earn respect as an artist.
"Forget Barbie, fuck Nicki she's fake, she's on a diet but my pockets eating cheese cake and I'll say boy the Chucky is Child's play, just killed another career it's a mild day"
Sadly, even the dudes who want to fuck you on your way to the top can be jealous haters once you surpass them.
"Besides 'Ye they can't stand besides me, I think me, you and Minaj Friday, Pink wig thick ass give 'em whip lash I think big get cash make em blink fast"
To be a woman who wants to get to the top of her field and needs to bust through a glass ceiling to do so, Minaj is saying you don't have to compromise your individuality or appearance. Because she wears pink and has a thick ass, her raps aren't to be taken seriously? She stands her ground as a talented rapper, not just as a talented woman and in the end, she "thinks big" and "gets cash."
"Now look at what you just saw I think this is what you live for, Aaahhhh, I'm a muthafucking monster!"
So is Nicki Minaj a new feminist icon? Probably not. But her skills as a rapper, her ability to stand independently as a female hip-hop artist next to her male peers and her potential to open the door for other lady rappers in the future remain wildly impressive.

If The Ansonia were an opera performer—and the building's long-term residents include many opera and musical folk due to its proximity to Broadway—she would be an old grand dame, her caked-on makeup concealing wrinkles, aches and pains—the toll that drama has taken over the years. The building is rumored to be haunted by ghosts, and it definitely is—at least by the corporeal kind.
An 18-story former grand residential hotel on 74th and Broadway, The Ansonia has stopped millions in their tracks. The stately turreted and gargoyled structure was built in 1904 and features an ornate Beaux Art wedding-cake facade topped with porthole windows and a mansard roof. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
And they certainly don't make tenants like they used to, either. Plato's Retreat, the sex club for swinging heterosexual couples that previously operated out of The Ansonia's basement, is the subject of the new documentary American Swing, opening March 27 at the Quad Cinema. Plato's was an Ansonia tenant from September 1977 until December 1980, when the club's owners were paid a million dollars by management to please, please, leave. It's just another weird thing on the list of weird things that have occurred in the castle-like building at 2109 Broadway.
It wasn't at residents' urging that Plato's opened in the basement. The sex club was the idea of Brooklyn hustler Larry Levensen, who first ran the outfit out of a small Upper West Side brownstone. The Ansonia basement, with its two swimming pools that had previously operated as a gay bathhouse, was simply the most convenient space Levensen could find. At the time, the Ansonia's owner had a somewhat laissez-faire attitude toward building upkeep, which perhaps allowed Plato's to creep in. When current owner Jesse Krasnow of Sirius bought the building with a group of investors in 1978, one of his first moves was to try and get rid of the club, hence the $1 million payoff.
But in the late '70s, Plato's was revolutionary in that a "small and secretive community," as former Village Voice writer Howard Smith describes it in the documentary, was ushered, "out in the open, the way gay bars [were]." For $35, couples from all walks of life could swap partners, lose their sexual inhibitions and then return to "normal" life in the city or the suburbs. The action was heterosexual, with girl-girl assignations permitted (every man's dream!). Plato's featured a buffet, a ping-pong table, disco dancin' and, for a moment, its very own song—number six on the charts at one point.
That's not to say that residents weren't curious: John Langrod, a clinical psychologist of Polish and Latino descent, has lived in The Ansonia for 35 years. As one of the building's few remaining rent-stabilized tenants, he pays $790 a month for the fifth-floor apartment he shares with his wife.
"A guy I know worked there, so I didn't have to go with a woman, and I just observed. The people who worked there had a hole drilled, and I think they charged tenants and other people who wanted to look five or ten dollars a shot… the hole looked into the orgy room."
That makeshift peepshow looked into the infamous "Mattress Room," the most intimidating part of Plato's, where even seasoned club-goers feared to tread: it was simply a room full of mattresses in which orgies of every size took place.
"There was a tremendous smell of marijuana," Langrod added, perhaps unnecessarily.
A trade union activist during his college years in Puerto Rico, Langrod also acted as an outspoken tenants' advocate over the years. The building went condo in 1992, and renters had a choice to either continue at rent-stabilized rates or to buy into their apartments at discounted prices. Langrod says that rent-stabilized tenants have been bullied by Ansonia management in hopes of evicting them (currently, the Ansonia's official website says, perhaps too eagerly, that 76 percent of apartments are currently sold, and the balance will be sold "as soon as the stabilized tenants vacate").
Krasnow, the landlord, declined to comment for this story, and the condo board president was not available to speak with a reporter.
Langrod says he fought eviction himself last year: "They claimed last year that my primary residence was in North Carolina [because] three months a year I have a summer home there." Langrod took to withdrawing $20 from an ATM machine daily and saving the receipts to prove his New York residency. The matter was settled out of court. (The Apthorp, another historic Upper West Side rental building, went condo in 2008 after a long and bitter fight.)
Landgrod explained over coffee in a café in the building's ground floor that the Ansonia Residents' Association, once strong, is now "almost dead." Years ago, "it split—the more radical group was called the Ansonia Tenants' Coalition… [they were] more into withholding rent, the other group didn't want to do that."
During the 1980s, the Tenants Coalition discovered "a whole set of violations"—more than 2,000 of them, according to the New York Times in 1984. There are still many violations in the aging building, which has never been properly kept up—especially, Landgrod says, in the rent-controlled units. A lawsuit (also settled out of court) over a memorable roach/bedbug explosion in one apartment was covered enthusiastically by the media in 2007.
Waiting for Langrod in The Ansonia's lobby, it was hard not to notice the carpet in need of vacuuming, the shabby couches and a glass-topped table littered with the debris of a dying vase of flowers. While still beautiful, Langrod pointed to certain updates on the walls. "Cheap," he said of the workmanship and materials.
According to various published histories of the building, in The Ansonia's earliest days as a hotel, the lobby featured a fountain with live seals. Fresh eggs and milk were delivered to guests via a rooftop mini-barnyard created by the builder, eccentric copper heir William Earl Dodge Stokes (he was also a pedophile who married a 15-year-old). Stokes also kept a "small bear" up on the roof, according to New York magazine.
During the depressed 1930s, however, the Ansonia stopped operating as a hotel and became rental-only. The Department of Health shut down the farm. The building was sold in 1945 to Samuel Broxmeyer, who failed on upkeep. The next owner, Jake Starr, let the building continue to decay—he didn't want to spend the millions required in renovations and repairs. After a fight, The Ansonia was landmarked in 1972. But landmarking only applied to the outside of the building, not the inside.
There were so many violations that for a time, The Ansonia was the "single most litigated residence in the history of New York City," wrote Steven Gaines in his 2005 history of Manhattan real estate, The Sky's the Limit.
Many older tenants seem somewhat suspicious of building inquiries, possibly due to management's habit of trying to evict them in any way possible. Three older tenants contacted for this article declined to be interviewed about the building; others hung up when phoned.
One resident, a musician who has lived there for 25 years and who did not want to be named out of concern for management retribution, said that living there has changed, "Tremendously, unfortunately." In the past, the resident said, "You weren't alone, you had a family here. Everybody knew everybody!" Singing and playing music in the rooms was not a problem then because apartment walls were three feet thick. Now, "people complain if they can hear it a little bit in the corridors." As for the new condo owners, "Wall Street is not culturally minded."
The newer condo and market-rent residents are universally younger, wealthier, and whiter, typically working as bankers, lawyers and in other high-paid professionals. Famous past residents have included Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey, composer Igor Stravinsky, Broadway's Florenz Ziegfeld, various opera stars like Enrico Caruso, and "ten or fifteen years ago, that woman who adopted all of those kids," Langrod said. Angelina Jolie?
"Yes! I saw her in the elevator years ago, and she was actually very uninteresting-looking!"
"It was the same routine every night, but with different bodies," recalls one of the now-aged customers of Plato's Retreat in American Swing. Sitting next to her husband, she rendered the hedonistic scene unexpectedly banal.
Today, the building's commercial tenants are a much more boring lot—a Loehmann's, an American Apparel, a North Face store. A far cry aesthetically from Plato's Retreat and a gay bathhouse, to be sure, but maybe deep down, they have the same cold, capitalistic heart. As American Swing reveals, Plato's—despite its free-love-and-kindness selling points—was not simply a benevolent marital aid. It was a lucrative, cash-in-hand business.
"I thought…that we were a great family, truly a community," said Larry Levensen in the film. "But I guess I was mistaken. It was me—I was the king."
After a raid, officials discovered that Plato's was cooking the books, and reporting almost no taxable income. Levensen did four years for tax evasion.
By that time, Plato's had moved to a new location on West 34th Street; the club was finally closed by police in 1985 at the height of the scare and confusion over AIDS. Levensen, the "King of Swing," worked as a cabdriver after prison and died of a heart attack at age 62 in 1999.
The Ansonia space that once housed Plato's is now a parking garage. But if you take a closer look at the asphalt floor, you can still see the grimy, tiled outline of a pool.

Reviews of Across the Universe 2007
Despite being disjointed and at times aimless, there is something about the film that is pure. It is what it is... A Beatles soundtrack with a movie stuffed in. Sometimes the the filmmakers need to segue into another Beatles song is frustrating and comes off forced, but on a whole it gives a decent tribute to the band. If for no other reason, see it for the music.
I'm a Beatles superfan, so I was destined to love this.
There is cheesiness here but, fuck it, it's a musical.
As the passage of time flows harmoniously, the 1960s are represented nostalgically, with psychedelic colour and visuals exploding across the screen. Spectacular cinematography and choreography carries us through the action while Beatles music is mixed beautifully to suit a stormy decade.
A journey of emotional and musical splendour.
Different, and respectable effort. I find most Beatles covers unbearable, so that had an effect, though some were done well.
Directed by Julie Taymore("The tempest") , Across the Univers is a musical that gathered from lousy ("goofy,pompous" ) to great ("bold","visually enchanting" ) criticism and to witch Taymore referred as an attempt "to creat an original musical using the songs of the Beatles".
Starring Evan Rachel Woods as Lucy , an american suburbs teenage , Joe Andeson as Max ,her brother and Jim Sturgess as Jude , a young english worker who goes to America , the film doesn't have…
I guess that you don't have to be a Beatles fan to enjoy this film but I'm so glad I am (and a huge one) because otherwise I don't think I could have appreciated it properly. I don't mean to say that I loved it because I didn't, but being one certainly had an influence in the fact that I was thoroughly entertained and that I was surely delighted by several musical segments which were simply magical.
I think it…
if you're going to make a self-indulgent mess at least make an interesting self-indulgent mess
A visual circus it may be, a fluid and coherent story it is not. "Across the Universe" ends up being a series of beautifully shot and well sung music videos. Each story beat is nice but the transition from beat to beat feels very awkward and forced. It is almost like each beat exists only to give its own song context, but not to connect to any other beat in a strong or relevant way. Something about this left me feeling unfulfilled. The music and visuals are quite a treat though.
Great film that contains a numerous amount of Beatles songs that are embedded into the storyline.
I hate musicals with a passion I reserve for few other things. And this is worse than the average one.
Actually it was a very nice movie, a little slow, and there's one scene that's so totally unnecessary it was really bad.
This is really 4.5 stars, but minus 1 star because of the hideously overused autotune on the vocals throughout. It really did ruin the film for me a lot of the time and that is just too bad. Maybe someday they will realise how stupid it is and do a new soundtrack without autotuned vocals.

Looks like this year's revival of Lilith Fair could follow in the footsteps of Michigan Womyn's Music Festival as another for-profit music event marketed to feminists but with some very anti-feminist politics.
Lilith Fair's Facebook page is running a "Choose Your Charity" campaign – fans in every city that will host Lilith Fair events can vote for local charities and the winners will receive $1 for every ticket sold in that city. However, as the Chicago Reader reports, anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are included in the list of charities folks can vote to fund. CPCs misinform and outright lie to women with the aim of keeping them from accessing contraception and abortion. Not exactly my definition of pro-woman charities.
It sounds from the Chicago Reader article like Lilith Fair did not do the necessary work at the local level to make sure the charities included were actually pro-woman. Nettwerk CEO and Lilith cofounder Terry McBride claims the list was generated by searching online for organizations that are woman-focused and have federal tax ID numbers. If this is the case I hope organizers will act swiftly to remove anti-choice organizations from the running. However, voting went down on the Lilith Fair Facebook page recently, and when it relaunched a vague statement was released and the CPCs were still on the list of charities.
In the meantime you can join the Facebook group Lilith Fair: No money for crisis pregnancy centers! and contact Lilith Fair to let them know anti-choice CPCs are not feminist or pro-woman charities.
3 Comments
As always, I can count on Feministing to keep me up to date on everything.
I went to the LF Facebook page to check it out for myself to see if there were any CPC's listed for my city. Thankfully, there weren't but, I did stumble onto this post (warning: very heavy pro-life slant) which lists a few of the CPC's and "maternity homes" up for the vote in other cities.
Also, she lists the two "abortion mills" you can vote for (re: a Feminist Women's Health Center in Atlanta and NARAL in Raleigh.) I wasn't aware we were using the term "abortion mill" now, but thanks for comparing babies to puppies, pro-life America!
I especially love the people who are saying, "Aren't you supposed to be pro-choice? Don't I have a the CHOICE to vote for a CPC?"
I also disagree with the policy articulated/enforced by the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, but I think that describing the festival simply as a "for-profit music event marketed to feminists" is misleading to the point of being pejorative (and erases the fact that the festival is overwhelming lesbian and queer-identified). Afterellen has a good profile, here: http://www.afterellen.com/archive/ellen/Music/2005/4/michigan.html.
That being said, I agree that Lilith Fair's list of charities is appalling, and a good example of how anti-feminist organizations have been so successful at deceptively co-opting feminist language/rhetoric.
I think they actually compared women to dogs. Babies aren't the product of abortion services.

The Houston Texans hold the keys to this NFL Draft with that first overall selection. They could use that first overall draft selection as a big time trade piece. Gil Brandt believes that the team could use the selection on South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney and then trade him off to another team. A lot of teams would love to have Clowney on their roster and if the recent report of the Texans GM liking Khalil Mack is true, it would make sense for them to trade down and get the guy that they want.
The Texans can select Jadeveon Clowney with the top selection in the draft and tjem trade him away to a team that takes Mack. A team like the Atlanta Falcons or St. Louis Rams could possibly make that move. The Texans would get the player that they want and they could gather more draft picks that they can package to select the quarterback of their choice. The Texans are sitting pretty and could pick up a ton of nice talent from this deep draft.
The Texans might select Clowney with the first selection in the draft, but he might not be wearing that Houston Texans hat for long.

Research and Consultancy Guidelines
Research involves a creative program of systematic investigation. All research involves potential innovation and risk. With research, it is not possible to predict whether a given objective can be achieved. An essential characteristic of research is that it leads to publicly verifiable outcomes that are open to peer appraisal. At a broad level, there are two categories of research activity - Sponsored Research and Contract Research which are elaborated below.
» The Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education's Definition of Research.
Sponsored Research
Sponsored research is frequently initiated by a research application. Funds are often provided on a highly competitive basis by government agencies such as the Australian Research Council (ARC) (opens in a new window), the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) (opens in a new window) etc. Historically, such research activity has generally not been concerned with commercial outcomes but with the advance of knowledge. Increasingly, however, government agencies are keen to ensure the protection and development of Intellectual Property (IP) arising from such research - see ARC National IP Guidelines (PDF, 21Kb). The ARC Linkage Program is an example of sponsored, collaborative research funded by both the Commonwealth Government and Industry/Sector partners. In this scheme, the Commonwealth seeks to ensure that IP arrangements between the industry partner/s and the University players are negotiated before commencement of the project.
Sponsorship for such research does not normally cover total project costs - the University also contributes its own resource to support such research. The Intellectual Property arising from the research is owned by the University which claims an unfettered right to publish the results of the research. The essential characteristic of such research activity is that it leads to publicly verifiable outcomes that are open to peer appraisal. Sponsored research projects are administered by Office of Research Services. Sponsored research funds can be reported to Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (opens in a new window) as part of the annual research income return, which forms an essential component of the Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC). Such research activity returns funding to the University through the:
- Joint Research Engagement (JRE)
- Research Training Scheme (RTS)
- Research Infrastructure Block Grant (RIBG)
- Sustainable Research Excellence (SRE).
Such income feeds into the Research Investment Framework (RIF) that is used to the strategic advantage of the University.Much sponsored research is difficult to obtain and it is prestigious to do so; gaining an ARC grant is recognition of the esteem and significance of individual researchers and teams. Research Services is actively engaged in assisting staff to gain sponsored research funding. For more information, please contact the Research Grants and Development team in the Office of Research Services.
Contract Research
Contract research may arise from a jointly initiated collaborative project between the University and an external agency (industry, government, semi-government body, commercial organisation etc.) or may follow on from a specific request from an external agency for a research project to be undertaken. Contract research has identified aims and objectives as well as project milestones, and often involves commercial outcomes. Like all research, it involves potential innovation and risk.
The contract may arise as a result of a competitive bid, or may follow on from extensive negotiations between the University and an external agency. With contract research, the intellectual property arising from the research is negotiated between the parties on a case by case basis and may depend on:
- the financial and intellectual contributions of the parties
- the existing intellectual property (background intellectual property) brought to the project by each partner.
The external partner will often seek to negotiate the right to commercially exploit the final intellectual property arising from the project, in return for a royalty stream to be paid to the University - see 3 below. Most contract research conducted by UWS operates through Research Services, although OCED - Commercial Development also support staff engaged in contract research. UWS always seeks to ensure the right to publish, in peer review media, the research arising from such collaboration, mindful of any commercialisation or confidentiality constraints.
Contract research funds can be reported to Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education as part of the annual research income return, and thus would return Joint Research Engagement (JRE), Research Training Scheme (RTS) and sometimes Research Infrastructure Block Grant (RIBG) and Sustainable Research Excellence (SRE) funding to the University. Such income also feeds into the Research Investment Framework (RIF) that is used to the strategic advantage of the University.Research Services is actively engaged in assisting staff to gain sponsored research funding. For more information, please contact the Research Development Officers in the Office of Research Services.
Consultancy involves the purchase by external agencies of (a) the skills and expertise of University staff and/or (b) access to University equipment or facilities to work on a specific project. Consultancy may cover such activities as expert opinion, analysis and testing services, product and process development and can be usefully defined as professional services based on existing knowledge. Consultancy is fully costed and priced and coordinated by the OCED - Commercial Development. Consultancy funds cannot be reported to the Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education as part of the annual external research income return, and thus do not return any Joint Research Engagement (JRE) or Research Training Scheme (RTS) funding to the University. In financial management terms, consultancy income cannot operate through a research project account. Such income does, however, provide academic units with income for developmental purposes.
UWS Innovation deals with commercialisation matters that arise from all research conducted by UWS staff and students. They can guide researchers through the complex activity surrounding effective commercialisation, particularly in protecting any new Intellectual Property (IP) arising from research activity.
The management of IP involves the identification, protection, and commercialisation of IP, which is governed by the University Intellectual Property Policy. Ownership of IP that is produced within the University is determined in accordance with this policy, the contractual conditions of research grants, and the agreements with collaborative partners. UWS believes in rewarding all staff who have produced IP within the University, by including them in the share from the commercialisation of the IP.
Protected IP can be commercialised through assignment or licenses. Assignment refers to the sale of a patent, design, trademark, copyright or trade secret. Licensing is a common form of exploitation for IP such as copyright, patents, plant breeders rights, designs & trademarks. Businesses pay a licensing fee and usually a royalty stream to the University for the right to use, produce and market the IP. Licenses can be negotiated exclusively or non-exclusively; be time limited; and geographically limited. An invention form is available at UWS Innovation for the prompt notification of new IP by UWS staff and students.
For further advice on commercialisation matters, contact OCED - Commercial Development or UWS Innovation.
Annual Reporting on Research Activity
All research income received in a calendar year by UWS can be reported to Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education, as part of the Higher Education Research Data Collection. This income return then feeds into the allocation of JRE, RTS, SRE and RIBG. For the purpose of the annual external research income return to Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education, the definition of Research and Experimental Development (R&D) is as follows:
'Research and experimental development comprises creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man [sic], culture and society and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications.' [OECD]
Any activity classified as research and experimental development is characterised by originality; it should have investigation as a primary object and should have the potential to produce results that are sufficiently general for humanity's stock of knowledge (theoretical and/or practical) to be recognisably increased.
Research includes:
- pure basis research
- strategic basic research
- applied research
- experimental development.
The processes of the Higher Education Research and Development Collection (HERDC), however, involve many exclusions.
The following are some exclusions from the Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education annual external research income return:
- National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage-Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF), and Independent Research Institutes Infrastructure Support Scheme (IIRIS) grants
- grants from the Higher Education Endowment Fund (HEEF) or the Education Investment Fund (EIF)
- funds received through the ARC's Research Networks scheme
- funds from the Commonwealth Grants Scheme (CGS)
- funds provided specifically for the purpose of hosting, organising or travel to and attending a conference, workshop or meeting unless funds are specifically for enabling access to a program of research
- funds provided specifically for the purpose of producing research publications (that is, for publishing research rather than conducting it)
- consultancy fees for projects that do not meet the definition of research
- income from the High Performance Computing and Communications Program, to or through the Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing
- income provided for preparation for teaching
- funds used for:
- scientific and technical information services
- general purpose or routine data collection
- standardisation and routine testing
- feasibility studies (except into research and experimental development projects)
- specialised routine medical care
- commercial, legal and administrative aspects of patenting, copyright or licensing activities
- routine computer programming, systems work or software maintenance
- grants from the following Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education programs:
- Research Training Scheme (RTS)
- Joint Research Engagement (JRE)
- Sustainable Research Excellence (SRE)
- Research Infrastructure Block Grants (RIBG)
- Commercialisation Training Scheme (CTS)
- Australian Postgraduate Awards (APA)
- International Postgraduate Research Scheme Awards (IPRS)
- Collaborative Research Networks (CRN)

Boots Expert Sensitive Cleansing & Toning Wipes
Boots Expert Sensitive Cleansing & Toning Wipes Reviews
Awesome Wipe!I have super sensitive, allergy prone skin, combination skin--these do not irritate in the least with daily use. It is fragrance free, completely removes my makeup, and is not dryng nor does it cause acne. It is not as soft as Almay, but cleans a bit better and contains aloe as well. These wipes will be be a staple for me. (Would be great in care packages to our troops in the desert to use to refresh their faces). — 3 years, 8 months agoThorne | 409 reviews

Effective and inexpensiveI bought these because my skin is incredibly sensitive to fragrance and these promised to be fragrance-free...and they actually are! They smell like absolutely nothing. They remove all of my makeup without trouble and, best of all, cause no irritation. I only use these for those nights I can't be bothered to really wash my face. When I wake up after using these, I have no surprise new breakouts or skin issues. Love these. Have already repurchased and will repurchase again. — 2 years, 2 months agoazdrienne | 120 reviews

Look no further! Gentle wipes!These are the best, most affordable wipes out there! They don't irritate your skin like others do, & they're very convenient. They won't remove very stubborn (i.e. waterproof) makeup, but anything else rubs off easily. My only complaint is that the bottom wipes usually dry out. Easy fix though: I just buy the Gentle Cleansing Lotion from the same line. First, I dampen the wipe with water, then dab...read more a little lotion on the wipe, and voila! The wipe is good to go. Also, this product is not tested on animals. — 2 months, 3 weeks agoholly_rabbit | 1 reviews
