5,000 NYC pay phones will take you back to 1993By KAREN MATTHEWS
The Associated Press | April 08,2013AP PHOTO
A pedestrian walks past a pay phone Friday advertising the New Museums NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star exhibit.NEW YORK Want to journey to a grittier time in New York Citys not-too-distant past, when the murder rate was sky-high, Times Square was a crossroads of crime and porn, Starbucks had yet to arrive, and hardly anyone owned a cellphone?
A project designed to promote an art exhibit has turned 5,000 Manhattan pay phones into time machines that take callers back to 1993, a pivotal year in the citys art, culture and politics.
Pick up a receiver on the rarely used phones that still dot the New York streetscape, punch 1-855-FOR-1993 and you will hear a notable resident recounting what life was like on that block 20 years ago.
We liked, creatively, the idea of using a sort of slightly broken, disused system as the canvas of this project, said Scott Chinn of Droga5, the ad agency behind the campaign for an exhibit titled NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star.
An eclectic mix of artists, writers, food and fashion stars, and others has been recruited to reminisce, including chef Mario Batali, actor Chazz Palminteri, porn performer Robin Byrd and former Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott, who threw a no-hitter in 1993.
The narrators describe a New York that was dirtier, bloodier, raunchier and less gentrified than today but also an easier place for a talented young person to gain a foothold.
Batali says in his sound bite that opening a restaurant was easier in 1993 when he debuted his first restaurant, Po.
You didnt have to have a rich daddy or an investor or put together a team or anything like that, he says. Its sad to watch the cost of business push the real individualist entrepreneurs out of the game.
Bike shop owner Dave Ortiz remembers when the citys Meatpacking District, now home to trendy restaurants, nightclubs and pricey boutiques, was the wild, wild West.
The rats were huge, he says. They were as big as cats, so you had to walk in the middle of the street. Its amazing what they turned it into. Its cool but its lost its, like, authenticity.
Rudy Giuliani was elected New York City mayor in 1993 and promised to crack down on crime and make the city more livable. The number of homicides in the city 1,960 in 1993 had already dropped from a high of 2,245 in 1990 but has plunged steeply since then. (There were 414 in all of last year.)
The citys AIDS crisis peaked in 1993 at 12,744 diagnoses. Terrorists staged the first attack on the World Trade Center. The look of the city has changed dramatically as national retailers have replaced independent merchants. New York Citys first Starbucks opened in 1994.
There was a presence of a kind of downtown underground scene which you really dont experience in New York anymore, recalled Gary Carrion-Murayari, curator of the exhibit at the New Museum featuring 161 works, many intended to shock with sexual imagery.
Lutz Bachers My Penis, for example, repeats a video snippet from the 1991 Florida sexual assault trial of William Kennedy Smith, a nephew of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, in which Smith testifies about the organ in question.
In Pepón Osorios The Scene of the Crime (Whose Crime?), a blood-soaked sheet covers what appears to be a corpse. Four nude mannequins join hands and stare into space in Charles Rays Family Romance. Political issues are tackled head-on in works like Sue Williams Are you Pro-Porn or Anti-Porn?
The exhibit and accompanying pay phone campaign run through May 26.
Pay phones in the Times Square area feature X-rated talk-show host Byrd describing the neighborhood before Disney musicals and theme-park stores made it safe for tourists.
The area wasnt really as dangerous as people thought it was in those days, Byrd says. Because most of the bums that you thought were bums on the street were really undercover cops.
She adds: It was a great time. Its too bad its changed because now its very pasteurized, homogenized, and it looks like Vegas.MORE IN Wire NewsVIENNA Reflecting its lessening oil clout, OPEC decided Thursday to keep its output target on...

2014 Public Finance Great Festive Debate
Join the Chair in Public Finance and the government Economics Network to debate the lessons economics provide on the festive season. This light hearted event will be followed by refreshements. Check out our debate flyer and rsvp today!
Research Shows disparity between tax paid by women and men
Research undertaken by Professor Norman Gemmell, Victoria's Chair in Public Finance, Honours student Athene Laws, and Omar Aziz from New Zealand Treasury and Harvard University, "Income and Fiscal Incidence by Age and Gender: Some Evidence from New Zealand" has been accepted for publication by international journal, Review of Income and Wealth.
Listen out for interviews on this research on Radio New Zealand and Newstalk ZB.
Summer Research Scholarship Projects
The Chir in Public Finance will be supervising two Summer Research Scholarship Projects, beginning mid-November 2014. Both projects have a housing focus, detailed further below.
Why have New Zealand's rents and house prices diverged?
For almost two decades residential accommodation rents have been approximately constant in real terms while house prices have more than doubled. This project will explore what factors may explain this divergence? In particular, what is known about the relationship between rents and vacancy rates in New Zealand? Also, how reliable is the empirical evidence that house prices have been driven in part by migration and what is the relation between rents and migration? A possible empirical extension would be to apply a VAR model for rents analogous to that for house prices similar to: Coleman, A. and Landon-Lane, J. "Housing markets and migration in New Zealand, 1962-2006". RBNZ Disc. Paper 2007/12".
An inquiry into the impacts of agglomeration, development contributions, land taxation on the rate and density of new development in Auckland.
In 2010, the Auckland "super city" was formed through the amalgamation of seven cities consisting of around 200 suburban entities and towns. The amalgamation resulted in all local communities using capital values as the basis for local taxation ('Rates'), whereas some communities had previously used land values. The new city also transitioned to single system of 'development contributions' paid by developers. In principle at least, economists often argue for the adoption of land value taxes instead of capital value taxes because the former encourage the highest and best use of land and are more efficient than a property tax. The Auckland change offers an excellent chance to conduct an empirical evaluation of the tax regime change; in particular, to assess whether changes in land use (e.g. new building developments) resulted from the legislated tax and development contribution changes.
Woolf Fisher Trust Scholarship
Congratulations to Athene Laws, who has been awarded a prestigious Woolf Fisher Trust scholarship to study for her doctorate at the University of Cambridge.
Athene is currently completing a BA Honours in Economics at Victoria in the School of Economics and Finance, with thesis supervision from Professor Norman Gemmell. Chair in Public Finance from the School of Accounting and Commercial Law.
"Athene is a superb student who displays terrific economic insight, so I'm not surprised that she's been selected for this prestigious scholarship," says Professor Norman Gemmell. "She is by far and away the best student I've come across in an Honours year throughout my academic career. Athene is currently working on an Honours thesis addressing the question: 'how much income mobility do New Zealand taxpayers display?', using unique data on individual taxpayers since the 1990s."
Athene has already won numerous awards for academic excellence. Her presentation at the 2013 New Zealand Association of Economists Conference won the Jan Whitwell Prize for best presentation by an undergraduate, honours or master's student. Motu Economic and Public Policy Research also awarded her the 2013 Sir Frank Holmes Prize, a prestigious scholarship that recognises both general academic excellence and the strong quantitative skills required to support world-class research and high quality public policy. Athene also won a Graduate Award in 2014.
Sir Woolf Fisher (1912-1975), co-founder of Fisher and Paykel, set up his Trust in 1960 to recognise and reward excellence in education. Today it has become one of New Zealand's largest education trusts. He was later knighted for his outstanding contribution to industry and education in New Zealand.

Mariah Carey May Pull a Beyonce Move With 'The Art of Letting Go'
Last week, we touched on rumors that Mariah Carey's The Art of Letting Go may be delayed again. The album originally scheduled to come out last summer had been pushed back to May – and now looked to be removed from her label's release schedule.
A Billboard interview with Carey somewhat confirmed this, with the singer implying she might do a Beyonce-type move. Not so much as not releasing without an announcement, but rather, she claimed, putting out an album that feels like a full release, rather than a bunch of singles. She told the magazine that The Art of Letting Go should seem: "as a body of work […] as if they were listening to it with me for the first time."
Reports also claim that the album is getting delayed from its May 6 release date because of Carey's perfectionism and control throughout everything.
On the other hand, label Def Jam claimed to be doing a standard release format, with the title and release date announced before physical distribution. However, it appears that a label representative claims the May 6 release date is also inaccurate.
For those not following Carey's recent career, the gap between The Art of Letting Go and her last release is the largest in her career. And while single "#Beautiful" did well this time last year, subsequent tracks, including "The Art of Letting Go" and "You're Mine (Eternal)," barely cracked the Hot 100 or didn't chart at all. Do you think that all of the delays and fine-tuning will amount to one big flop, or will it turn out to be a success?

There's about ten hours of play, much of which is an explanation of the plot, while the rest is a pedestrian and pretty boring romp in terms of game play mechanics, meaning that in the end you'll probably just want to complete the game for completing its sake.
If you're a newcomer to the phenomenon of all this Jesus-themed, impossible code-breaking malarkey you'll find parts of The Da Vinci Code pretty bloody annoying. However, you'll find more to like as you explore, especially if you enjoyed Broken Sword.
The puzzles are the meat of the gameplay, but it feels the need to make you kill time between puzzles by sneaking past idiots or beating the snot out of invalids.
So then, another Hollywood movie, and another so-so game based on it. The Da Vinci Code has the right heritage but unfortunately suffers from the same disease as many of its ilk - it has been rushed to meet a release date without receiving the kind of polish that could have made a great game out of the subject matter.
It doesn't offer enough puzzle variety for serious adventure fans, and the combat will irritate or bore most action aficionados.
The overall impression is of a game that's both bravely and badly designed, and weighted towards the latter. [July 2006, p.84]
My recommendation is that you don't purchase this game unless you are bald, for you are sure to pull out all of your hair in frustration.

JordyG.May 18, 2006The da vinci code is a very simplistic game(in the way of brain straining but in a good way). All of the game is based around the book and movie. the story is the same Youre framed for murder and are on the run while trying to figure out the mysterious secrets of the da vinci code and find the real killer.This game is based upon one subject.Puzzles.all of these puzzles make you have to really push youre brain to the point of thinking.realllllllllly Thinking.The high point of the game is the puzzles and story which makes the game really adictive. the low point is the waaaaaaaay to simplistic and easy fighting system.Yes I said fighting system.This is simpler then opening a magazine and easyer then beating an infent at Scrabble. this is what keeps it from a 10. the cool part of the game is that most of the puzzles come straght from the book so in a way if youve read the book you can tell what the messages are. the book is like a little cheat guide. For anyone who wants a really good puzzle and story game you are in heaven. for fighting go play GTA.… Expand

Spartan234Aug 1, 2006Yet another awful movie-licensed game -- it's not like The Da Vinci Code would make a good game, anyways; the subject matter is best suited for cinema. In addition to the bad gameplay, The Da Vinci Code is also a buggy mess and has some of the worst combat ever seen in an action/adventure game. The AI for the security guards is so bad that you can just play this like a run-'n-gun shooter and forget the stealth elements.… Expand
May 6, 2012If you have a great movie, not problem, the big problem is do a game of an impossible movie to translate for the games, The Da Vinci Code is an excellent example.

text: Steve Stricker Will Skip British Open to Celebrate 20th Wedding Anniversary with Wife Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 12 Jul 2013 post a comment Steve Stricker will miss this year's Open Championshio at Muirfield next week to spend time with his wife for their 20th wedding anniversary. As Yahoo Sports! notes, Stricker vowed at the beginning of this season that he would only play in 10 tournaments to spend quality time with his wife and family and devote some time to starting a youth charity venture. He will have already played in eight tournaments this year by the time the Open Championship begins. In addition, Stricker is not really good playing links golf. In 13 British Opens, Stricker, one of the game's best putters, has never finished in the top-five. The 46-year-old golfer who has won 12 times on the Tour made a run to almost become the oldest winner of a major at this year's U.S. Open, but he would rather spend time with his wife than spend time at Muirfield chasing a major he may believe is unrealistic. He has been described as someone who is "wired differently from most" because he "gets as much pleasure taking his kids to school in Wisconsin as winning golf tournaments. He would rather spend his fall in a deer stand with a bow than on the practice green with his putter." South African Ernie Els is the defending British Open champion.

The Tucker Technique: Conservative Molar Inlays Preserving the Transverse Ridge
Conservation of healthy tooth structure should be the aim of any restorative procedure. Two inlays may be an ideal choice for the treatment of maxillary molars to preserve the transverse ridge and maintain structural integrity.
When mesial and distal proximal surface restorations are indicated on the maxillary first molar that has an unaffected oblique ridge, separate twosurface cavity preparations are indicated rather than a mesio occlusodistal preparation, inasmuch as strength of the tooth crown is significantly greater when the oblique ridge is intact.1,2 Cast gold inlays have long been used to conservatively restore compromised tooth structure. Often the clinician is faced with two areas requiring restoration on a maxillary molar interrupted with an intact oblique ridge of ample stock. Ideally, the dentist would elect to maintain this transverse ridge to minimize the separating forces of occlusion that flex the buccal and lingual halves of the molar from one another. Various combinations of inlays are possible depending on the surfaces involved.
Tooth #14 (Figures 1 and 2) was observed to have an existing mesial-occlusal composite and separate occlusal composite in the distal portion of the occlusal surface. Although the restorations were still serviceable, the patient was a dental hygienist who understood that all restorations have a limited life span. The hygienist, having been informed of the clinical data available with respect to materials and techniques,3 requested the removal and replacement of her composites with cast-gold restorations utilizing the Tucker Technique. Occlusion was evaluated, anesthesia administered, and a heavy weight rubber dam (Coltene/Whaledent, Cuyahoga Falls, OH, USA) placed. Typically, all the existing restorative material and any caries would be removed. However, in this case, the operator elected to utilize the existing composites as block-out with the knowledge that very little if any would remain after preparation with the remaining removed prior to cementation.
Initial occlusal preparation was performed using a #57 fissure carbide bur (Midwest/Dentsply International, York, PA, USA) taking care not to overextend to the buccal in the mesial buccal aspect of the preparation. The depth of the central groove area was reduced to approximately 1.5 mm and the buccal and lingual walls 2.5 mm because of the inclines of the cusps. The #57 carbide was used to create an angulation of approximately 3–5 degrees on each of the occlusal walls, and therefore a preparation taper of 6-10 degrees was produced. A definite buccal dovetail feature was created in the buccal groove to prevent the proximal dislodgment of the casting and negate the need for an internal bevel in the proximal box. The #57 bur was used to establish a proximal box to a depth of 1.5 mm gingival to the pulpal floor or 4 mm from the proximal-occlusal cavosurface.
The buccal wall of the proximal box was prepared with a 169L tapered fissure carbide bur held perpendicular to the occlusal surface to establish the mesiobuccal cavosurface and minimize extension to the buccal. The #57 carbide bur was used to prepare the mesiolingual wall of the proximal box and ensure that the axial depth of the proximal box had sufficient depth. A ½ inch sandpaper disc (E.C. Moore, Dearborn, MI, USA) was used to blend the mesiolingual with the lingual wall of the occlusal with slight flare to allow ease of finishing and create taper to be harmonious with the conservative taper of the mesiobuccal wall. The 42S chisel (Suter Dental, Chico, CA, USA) was utilized to remove any friable enamel rods and accentuate the axiogingival line angles and true the gingival floor. The axial wall was smoothed with the 43S chisel. A 0.5- mm external bevel was placed using a H248-009 beveled cylinder carbide bur (Axis, Coppell, TX, USA) and planed with the #233 Tucker gingival margin trimmer (Suter Dental). The occlusal-lingual groove was prepared using a #7404 bur (Brassler USA, Savannah, GA, USA). This was a relatively simple preparation with a rounded pulpal floor and no line angle with draw created by the shape of the bur.
Retention was maximized by keeping the #7404 bur at a consistent perpendicular angle to the occlusal surface as the bur follows the groove. Care was taken to create enough depth in the lingual extension for bulk of gold during casting and accuracy of fit when seating and finishing. Instead of the groove being prepared as a gentle arc from occlusal to lingual, resistance form was enhanced by creating more of an acute angle from the occlusal to lingual aspect (Figure 3). Try-in prior to cementation verified the superb retention and resistance of this preparation design. It was also noted that at the occlusal mesiobuccal cavosurface, the casting was slightly over finished and would need to be addressed with finishing (Figure 4). Seating involved anesthesia, removal of the provisional, and placement of a heavy weight rubber dam. Castings were tried in together to verify fit and proximal contact. The castings were seated one at a time using separate mixes of zinc phosphate cement (Fleck's Cement, Myerstown, PA, USA). The zinc phosphate was slaked with a small amount of powder in the liquid until the liquid appeared clear and then mixed according to the manufacturer's directions.
Cement was applied to the castings, and an orange wood stick was used to seat the castings along with light malleting. A shortened orange wood stick was then used between the castings and lower molar until the hydraulic pressure of cementation had dissipated. A series of sandpaper disks (medium garnet, fine sand, and fine cuttle; E.C. Moore), strips, and polishing powders were used to refine the tooth to gold interface. Often the operator will find that only the fine sand and fine cuttle discs are necessary and that the medium garnet may introduce unnecessary scratches in the gold that will require additional finishing time.
In this case, no garnet discs were utilized. Wet #4 laboratory pumice (Kerr Corp, Romulus, MI, USA) was used next with a ribbed prophy cup (Young Dental, Earth City, MO, USA). A light touch rotating from casting to tooth was employed to avoid the uneven removal of tooth and gold if the pumice was used too aggressively or for too long. Next, wet 15-micron aluminum oxide powder (Micro Abrasives Corp, Westfield, MA, USA) with a new ribbed prophy cup was used. Important to note is that in between polishing steps, a thorough rinse and dry of the area should be performed to prevent incorporating scratches late in the sequence.
Final polishing was performed dry with 1-micron aluminum oxide powder (Micro Abrasives Corp) and again a new ribbed prophy cup. No finishing strips were deemed necessary in this case (Figures 5 through 7). Once the rubber dam was removed, the occlusion was checked and the patient released.
Castings are by Mr Gary Burke, Issaquah, WA, USA. The preparation design is from Dr RV Tucker.

Just when we thought the heyday of pristine barn finds had all but dried up, cars like this one bubble to the surface. Back in 1978, Chevrolet celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Corvette by pacing the Indianapolis 500 and releasing a handful of special-edition pace car replicas to the public. Just 6,502 of the black and silver Corvette models were ever produced, and the vehicles sold out quickly. Sensing a potential future collectible, the original owner of this 1978 Chevrolet Corvette pace car bought the car and tucked it away in his garage.
In 1995, the owner sold his house and had the Corvette pace car transferred to a Detroit-area storage facility, where it was locked away for good under a pile of boxes. Now the car is being offered for sale through Corvette Mike New England. According to the site, the original tires still hold air, and surprisingly enough, the engine still runs. We had to wince a little when we heard that the seller decided to run the original half-tank of gasoline through the engine. Dropping the fuel tank and draining the system surely couldn't have been that hard.
Head over to Corvette Mike New England to see a full gallery of the car and click past the jump for quick walk-around video. There's no word on exactly how much this macho '70s machine will set you back, but we're guessing it won't be cheap.

I was wondering if there is anyway on Virtual XP you can play direct 3d games some ppl where having trouble with GameGuard and i was going to test if you could run the a game that requires GameGuard on Virtual XP and it was unsuccesful does anyone know if its possible???????

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
Virtual XP has a S3 video setup, It was not created to run any type of 3D games.
Its manly there to run old legacy app for business that cant get their apps re-written on newer OS due to cost or what every piece of equipment the software is written to run. You maybe able to get some old DOS games to run in it as for any type of Direct 3D games it will be a very slim picking another guess would be some old games made around 1995-98 any game that doesnt require direct 3d to run.
Some one down the line may fine a way to hack in something that will work, but I'm thinking that might be a long way off, since the Virtual XP will only be available to Enterprise and Ultimate Editions of Windows 7. By the time some get that to work GameGuard will have a fix out for Windows 7.

A new commanding officer has been appointed to the 108 Police Precinct, which covers Sunnyside, Woodside and Long Island City.
Captain John Travaglia, who has spent most of his career in Queens, will be taking over the command following the departure of Capt. Brian Hennessy.
This will be Travaglia's first time as a commanding officer. He was most recently the executive officer at the 114th Precinct in Astoria. Prior to that, he was an executive officer at the 104th Precinct that covers Maspeth, Middle Village and Ridgewood.
Travaglia takes the top job at a time when Sunnyside has been experiencing an uptick in burglaries and other property-related crime. However, Astoria too has seen a jump in burglaries recently.
Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer said that he has scheduled a meeting with Travaglia and has heard good things about him. "We look forward to meeting him as we all work to keep the neighborhood safe."

A fire broke out in a Sunnyside apartment building last night.
The blaze took place on the fifth floor at 41-36 51st Street. The FDNY received a call just before 7 pm and the fire was brought under control by 7:30 pm, according to the FDNY.
The fire was contained to one apartment and one person, believed to be the tenant, was taken to a local hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. The victim was believed to have been unconscious when he was removed from his apartment.
A neighboring tenant, who didn't want to be named, showed up during the fire. She said the fire was first noticed by a passerby, who saw flames shooting out the window.
"This was traumatizing for everyone," the neighboring tenant said. "Everyone here was freaked out."
The apartment that caught fire is completely destroyed. The apartment above may have been damaged as well, and the apartment below suffered severe water damage.
The apartment that caught fire was rented by a younger man, according to a neighboring tenant, who moved into the building earlier this year. He was known for having parties.
"We [the occupants] were worried something like this would happen," the neighbor said.
The FDNY is still investigating what caused the fire.

The police have released another photo of one of the two men suspected of beating and robbing an 81-year-old Sunnysider at the Chase Bank branch at 46-10 Queens Blvd last month.
The two men allegedly approached the victim inside the Chase bank ATM area at about 9:30 am on Sunday, October 26, before punching him in the face and removing $100 and his debit card from his pocket. The victim was William Eichhorn, who has lived in the Phipps Houses for the past 50 years.

The frozen yogurt store 4 Squared Flavors has closed for winter and will reopen March 1, according to co-owner Khalil Nayl,
Nayl said that landlord is supportive of the store and is by providing discounted rent during the winter months.
Nayl's announcement came less than an hour after he was asked why the store had been closed all month.
"We are exploring our options," Nayl said at about 3:30 pm, when asked whether the 45-12 Greenpoint Avenue store had closed for good. "I will get back to you when we have made a final decision."
Nayl had been asked the question several times during the month and provided the same response.
The store has had a tough go of it from the get-go. It was supposed to open in October 2013 but the owners had issues with the contractor and it opened in March.
Nevertheless, Nayl is hoping to get the support of Sunnysiders when he reopens. He still plans to open other 4 Squared Flavors in other locations.
The Sunnyside store is spacious—with a lounge area that has couches. There is also a special area where iPads are provided, so people can surf the web while they eat their yogurt.
Meanwhile, in other news, Mediterraneo, the popular pizzeria located at 46-21 Queens Blvd, closed at the end of last month. The owner closed for personal reasons, according to sources.
In other news, Safra Bistro, a Turkish restaurant located on the corner of 43rd Avenue and 43rd Street, is up for sale. The restaurant, which opened a year ago, is on the market for $139,000. The owner is seeking a quick sale.

Hercules, Daffodil and Robin all found homes Sunday.
The three animals were adopted by Sunnyside residents who attended an adoption event outside of Wespaw Pets—located at 44-05 Queens Blvd– on Sunday.
The Sean Casey Animal Rescue group in conjunction with the North Shore Animal League parked a large truck filled with dogs and cats that are currently in shelters outside the pet store.
The dogs were of all ages—puppies to seniors—with one particularly disfigured due to a cruel past owner. The dogs varied in breeds– with pit bulls, pit bull terrier mixes, poodles and even a pomeranian. The cats ranged in age too.
The first animal to be adopted was Hercules, a young pit bull, by James Abram. While the dogs had been vaccinated and checked over prior to the event, a volunteer veterinarian was on hand to help the new owners—and current dog owners—with questions.
"People continue to ask about adoption events," said a Wespaw Pets representative. "While we have had them before this is the biggest one we have had so far."
The next dog to find a home was Daffodil, an older dog who was adopted by a young couple.
Later in the day, a mother with her young daughter adopted a cat called Robin. Several of the cats were brought to the event by LIC Ferals & Friends.
Some of the other pets might still be adopted, according to a Wespaw representative, since a few couples are thinking it over.
Sam, the owner of Wespaw Pets, was encouraged by the day. "Sometimes you can have events like these and no dogs or cats get adopted," he said.
Nov. 17, By Christian Murray
The third annual Crafts & Arts Show took place in Sunnyside on Sunday, with 35 crafters offering items—from jewelry to illustrations–to hundreds of attendees who showed up over the course of the day.
The event was held at the Queen of Angels Church parish center—from 10 am through 5 pm– and attendees came in waves.
The numbers swelled whenever a church service ended at Queen of Angels Church.
"At 1 pm (when a church service ended) it was so crowded that some people decided to come back later," said Manny Gomez, the president of Sunnyside Artists.
Gomez said he was happy with the overall turnout—which was similar to previous years. He said the cold weather didn't dissuade people from coming.
This year's main organizer Patricia Dorfman, the founder of Sunnyside Artists, was not in attendance due to an illness in her family. Meanwhile, Luke Adams, who had also helped put together the event in the past, passed away last week.
Gomez said that Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer attended the event at about 2 pm and there was a moment of silence in honor of Adams.
Michael Gurrado, who made several items carved from wood, was a particularly popular over the course of the day. So, too, was Kris Czerniachowich who sold handmade Christmas ornaments.
Meanwhile, Alexio Gessa, a comic-book artist & illustrator, also fared well—with Van Bramer buying a poster from him.

The Department of Transportation plans to reduce the speed limit on Queens Blvd to 25 mph, down from 30 mph, by the end of the year.
The DOT tweeted that Commissioner Polly "Trottenberg anticipates reducing the speed limit to 25 mph by he end of the year."
Queens Boulevard was not included as part of the 25 mph city wide speed limit that went into effect Nov. 7 since it was deemed a big street designed to accommodate faster speeds.
"Queens Boulevard has been known as the Boulevard of Death for far too long, and our work towards Vision Zero would not be complete without addressing this street that has too often proven fatal," said State Sen. Mike Gianaris in a statement.
" I am glad DOT plans to make Queens Boulevard safer and I hope that with time this major street will come to be known for its pedestrian plazas and great restaurants, rather than traffic fatalities."
Commissioner Trottenberg announces DOT anticipates reducing Queens Blvd speed limit to #25MPH the end of the year.

A 40-year old woman was followed into her Sunnyside apartment building last month before a man pulled out a knife and demanded her cell phone.
The perpetrator followed the woman into the lobby of her 42nd Street apartment building (near Skillman Ave.) just before midnight on Saturday Oct.25. He then pulled out a knife and demanded her phone. The victim complied. The man then fled.
The police released a photo and video footage of the suspect today.
The suspect is described as a male black, approximately 30 years of age, who had dreadlocks containing yellow beads on the night of the attack. He was also wearing a long black trench coat.
Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

Visiting Austin..downtown suggestions..& beyond
I will be visiting Austin in March, staying in Soco, and need some meal planning. I'm really looking for the best/authentic Mexican, Texmex, and BBQ. Coffee, deli, bakery, etc I shouldn't miss are welcome too.
First, what are the must eat spots I can walk to in the downtown area? I am willing to walk, so neighboring areas with in a few miles are fine.
Second, I really don't want to rent a car but am willing to cab-it for the right food. So what are the spots I can't miss and should hop in a cab for?
Thanks so much.
If you're staying in the SoCo area, there's a few restaurants right around there that would be good options. For Mexican, Polvos Mexicanos is over on South 1st Street, a great little "dive" Mexican place, and should be within walking distance (since you don't mind walking) Walk down to Johanna St and go west to 1st. You didn't ask for Italian, but on Congress is Vespaio & Enoteca, sister restaurants that are quite popular with many Chowhounds, Vespaio (IMO) being one of the best Italian places in the city. They would be very close to you (the 1600 block of Congress). It can get crowded, so be forewarned. Also on Congress is Jo's, a fun, very Austin-ish coffee shop (more of a walk-up coffee bar with outdoor seating) - that has good coffee (pastries are pretty good as well). If it's a nice morning you should definitely go hang out there for a little while (1300 block of Congress). Jo's is right next to the San Jose Hotel, which is a great place to have a drink later in the day.
For BBQ, the best is really outside of the city in Luling & Lockhart. But for in the city, and based on where you are staying, you may consider Ironworks (100 Red River, just north of the river and east from Congress). BBQ is one of those very subjective cuisines, and for some Ironworks isn't their favorite, but I've always had good luck there. There was a recent thread on them you can review (look for Bababooey's comments 1/22/07).
Enjoy and have fun.
You mentioned "bakery" in your post, cocolucia. Texas French Bread is right there on South Congress. I've never been there, but have heard that it's good.
Also...and this is very much my own personal opinion.... steer clear of Beck's on Congress. I had a terrible meal there not too long ago: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/351589
re: jwynne2000
Texas French Bread is not really a patisserie, if that's what you think of when you refer to bakery. Sweetish Hill, downtown, fairly close to SoCo is my favorite patisserie bakery, though of course they also have breads and sandwichs.
For BBQ, Rudy's is great too. Stubbs (on Red River) is OK but you could combine it with music and that would make it worth it. Don't miss a fried apple pie at Jo's when you get your morning coffee. For Mexican you could go to Guero's, which is more about the atmosphere/landmark nature than the food, but the setting is fun with all the little shops along the block. Better food tho is down the street at El Sol y La Luna - perfect for migas or even dinner - I miss Texas!
you need to go to Las Manitas between 2nd & 3rd on Congress. forget the other places, they are not any better. it's going to be torn down at some point to make way for a high rise. it may not be the best TexMex you have ever eaten, but it is a real part of Austin as it once was, since there is no more G&M Steak House. it is run by 2 no nonsense sisters. so eat up and move on. but that said, the feel of the place is great. it's a breakfast and lunch kinda place. they don't server booze. I think they close around 2:00. I've been going there for over 20yrs that I've lived here.
If you don't mind a rough around the edges bar, the best burger in town/Texas is in a bar downtown called Casino El Camino. It's a couple of doors west of Red River on 6th.
re: Willisinaustin
Willis - you're right! Casino El Camino DOES have the best burger in town! I tried the buffalo burger last year when we were there and it was fantastic! I still talk about it!
re: Ed Edamame
Their serrano burger is the stuff of daydreams...
re: amysuehere
Now you're talking. I might even have to go get one tonight...
re: amysuehere
MMMmmm, that does sound good. I'll have to check that out on my next trip. Just got back from Austin yesterday. And some outstanding fish at Finn & Porter!
re: Chicago Wine Geek
What about BurgerTex? LOVE their burgers and I think they are in the run for best in the city!
re: Willisinaustin
Speaking of the best burger in Austin, today I saw a great hole int he wall place on the way to Little Thailand. On 7th St. 2 miles east of 35. Can't remember the name. Anyone know what it was? Sorry for thread drift.....
Big thumbs up for drinks at the San Jose Hotel! Last time I was there, we were serenaded by two guys on guitars doing excellent Everly Bros covers.
For a general view of Austin and Hill country food (and other things), I spotted this little piece in the NY Times a while back.
Have fun!
- Sean
As a caveat, the following are mere suggestions and do not represent favorites. I think Soco is great, but it is often over-priced, under-served, and over-populated-- Vespaio and Enoteca being the only two exceptions that first come to mind.
If you're here on a Sunday, I highly suggest you check out the Gospel Brunch at Stubb's. This said, YOU MUST make reservations and call ahead to ensure that SXSW festivities are not changing their regular Sunday schedule.
Most everyone in Austin and abroad forgets about Shoreline Grill. Shoreline was founded over 20 years ago by Jeffrey Weinberger--the namesake of the heralded "Jeffrey's". Definitely sit on the patio, center-left. If you go, order the Cravado app, the spinach salad, and the Tenderloin (MR) with the ancho cajeta demi. Ask for Jason Teis as your server, and have Jason get John Michael or Jan to the table. John Michael manages and serves there and has done so for over 18 years. He knows every good meal in Greater Austin--especially mexican and tex-mex, generally, and downtown,specifically, as he is one of the rare few that has seen it blossom. He can even tell you who to ask for and special "off-the-menu" items that Austin reidents do not even know about.
Try Cisco's in East Austin for Saturday morning breakfast. You'll need a cab. Cisco's is a must-see dive that has served the who's who of the Texas political scene for decades. The walls are adorned with the greatest bipartisan effort since the inception of the Dixiecrat--hundreds of autographed photos from Presidents to musicians. You must get the biscuits and gravy and the Wolf omelet. They also have decent, bottomless drip coffee.
[as mentioned] Casino is definitely one of the best burgers.... great jukebox too... as long as you can wait out the 30 minute ticket time and have no problems mingling with some of the hottest goth/emo/rockabilly folk in the US. (Just FYI) I usually order my burgers below temp at Casino--the beef is that quality.
You cannot walk ten feet in Austin without spilling a good cup of coffee. On the other side of the same coin, check out Tea Embassy on 9th and Rio Grande. It might be a bit of a trek, but the proprietors' knowledge and their loose tea selection is a great experience. They'll literally spend hours allowing you to taste various teas that they'll brew right in front of you, gratis. The building they're located in also has a story and a song.
I will get a lot of crapola for this, but The Flagship Whole Foods sit-n-go food modules are great, especially the sandwich shop. "The Longhorn" roast beef sandwich, grilled, on foccacia bread, with the chipotle spread (ask them to throw on some provolone) and grilled peppers and red onion with a side of salt and vinegar chips with bottled water is great...especially if you finish with some panna cotta gelato. I was stuck on this lunch rut for about three weeks last year and I still salivate after alluding to it. You can also find some decent pastries and an excellent cheese selection coupled with a bottle of wine for late evening. It is not unlike me and mine to get some cheese, a couple of plastic cups and a nice bottle of wine and hang out over-looking town lake as the sun sets. It is illegal, but what the fuzz doesn't know, heightens my short time here on Earth.
If you're looking for something in particular, post it here and I will tell you where to find it here in Austin.
Towards something close to nothing but different than the day before,
Stagira's Ghost
re: StagirasGhost
Tea Embassy: Seconded. The best tea selection in Austin. Truly amazing. They also make their own tea blends there that are simply fantastic.

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla.- A fire ripped through a Lehigh Acres home at 311 Broward Ave., near Butler St. E. this afternoon.
No one was home at the time the fire started, and Lehigh Acres firefighters were able to put the flames out quickly.
It's the second fire there in a matter of days. The homeowners say the first fire last week made their home unlivable. Now, the home is a total loss.
The homeowners moved out after the first fire, and the home's electricity was turned off. They don't know how the second fire started, but they had to relive those horrible memories once again.
The State Fire Marshal's Office left the scene a short while ago. The cause is still unknown.

Insider Tips
With no local airport, Patmos is tricky to reach. Ask staffers at the Petra hotel to secure your tickets and have them shipped.
Avoid arriving in August, when the Greeks get two weeks vacation. The rest of the year, Patmos is uncrowded.
From the hotel, it's an easy walk to Grikos Beach, where you can explore Kallikatsou, a massive rock formation rising from the ocean like a freestanding cliff.

text: Beef jerky is something that most people only know as a tasty, high protein snack that can be picked up at the local convenience store. What most people don't realize is that they can easily make delicious beef jerky at home, with no equipment fancier than an oven and a sharp knife. Not only is homemade beef jerky healthier than commercial beef jerky, which is often laden with preservatives to keep it shelf stable for very long periods of time, but making it at home is also much cheaper than buying it from the store and allows you to completely control what flavor the beef jerky will be. The first step to making homemade beef jerky is to take a very lean cut of beef and trim off all of the fat. It is important to remove as much fat as possible, as fat does not dry and could cause the beef jerky to spoil. Next, cut the beef into extremely thin strips. The thinner the beef is sliced the more quickly it will dry, which is important to guarantee that the beef jerky will not develop bacteria during the drying process. Partially freezing the beef before slicing it can make it much easier to cut. The next step is to marinate the meat with the recipe of your choice. Two popular marinades for beef jerky are teriyaki and barbecue, and some popular ingredients are brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic, liquid smoke and other spices. Many cooks also prefer to dip the sliced beef in a salt and spice rub after marinating, both to add flavor and texture and to facilitate the drying process, as salt helps to draw more moisture out of the meat. After the meat is well seasoned, preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Once the oven has reached 160 degrees, take a wire rack and place it on a regular baking sheet, then arrange the strips of beef onto the wire rack so that they are evenly spaced. The rack allows the hot air to hit every side of the meat, ensuring that it dries quickly and evenly, while the baking sheet will catch any drippings. Allow the beef to dry for between two and six hours. When thoroughly dried the beef jerky should be dry and stiff, but not brittle. Homemade beef jerky can be kept refrigerated for several weeks.
