Summer Reading: Old New York style
There are dozens of classics written about the contemporary New York of their creation, including The Great Gatsby and Catcher In The Rye. And thousands of trashy Manhattan stories chronicling gossip girls, magazine editors and cosmopolitan swilling divorcees.
But the New York historical novel has only really flourished in the past forty years or so due to improved research tools and the popularity of New York themed non-fiction. Not only are they fun to read, but it's a vacation of time, not space.
I highly recommend these five, which all take place in the late 19th/early 20th century, although there are dozens more, and if you have any ideas, please list them in the comments section:
Time And Again -- Jack Finney's playful lite romantic-fantasy is defining work of the historical New York genre. This romantic time-shifting tale sends its hero back to 1882 via a rather unusual time-travel device -- the Dakota Apartments. His adventures take him quite literally all around Manhattan, from the snowy streets of Gramercy Park to burning floors of the New York World building, all the while piecing together the clues of a mysterious letter with a beautiful woman.
The book's enduring appeal is in its romanticism of early New York (through a few key anachronisms) and its many illustrations.
Martin Dressler: The Tale of the American Dream -- Steven Millhauser's industrious lead character winds his way through a number of careers in late 19th century New York, often with striking detail. This won the Pulitzer Prize eleven years ago and is highly recommend to those fascinated with the early history of New York hotels, with their majestic social importance and sumptuous and foolhardy opulence
The Alienist -- This is the least literary of the bunch, but a blast to read. Caleb Carr's page-turner follows an 1896 version of the Scooby Gang through a gothic serial-killer mystery. The action swirls through the Lower East Side, breezing past Union Square's Dead Man's Curve, past the kitchens of Delmonico's and ends at the Croton Reservoir. Suspend that disbelief! (His followup, the Angel of Darkness, can be skipped though.)
Dreamland -- Kevin Baker writes the book I always wanted to write, a look at the early days of Coney Island and one of its best known amusement parks. He somehow manages to weave every imaginable freak through the story and solves the mystery as to why the famous park burnt down. And his depiction of Lower East Side life at the start of the century is some of the most entertaining. (I plan to start his 'Paradise Alley', which starts at the 1863 Draft Riots, very soon.)
The Waterworks -- Actually, it should be required that all New York history lovers read at least one book by E.L. Doctorow. Ragtime is clearly the most famous, and his World's Fair, which ends at the first Flushing Meadows soiree, is a personal favorite (although not really his best written). But I think Waterworks plays has his best 'summer read', a strange detective story with a surreal twist that, like the Alienist, also ties the Croton Reservoir into its storyline.
You got any favorites?

He didn't write fiction, but Joseph Mitchell's writing about New York does the trick for me every time. So much to learn about gypsy palmreaders, the old fish market, drunks everywhere, the effect of raw oysters on horses (!) -- he covered it all, with marvelous style.ReplyDelete
I've been reading Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin and it is wonderful. This story weaves in and out of fantastical, tall-tale legend storytelling, which takes place around the ominous city-machine of New York and several central figures sucked in by the cities gravity and mystery. Way cool.ReplyDelete
Of course no "Old New York" Reading List is complete without an Edith Wharton novel. I highly recommend "The House of Mirth," a novel centered on the pitfalls of upper crust womanhood in Victorian New York.ReplyDelete

"Forever" by Pete Hamill. Robert Carson's three hundred years living on Manhattan island is fascinating.ReplyDelete

 02/19/14 Diners, Drive-ins and Dives of Marshall County are being featured with the traveling "Auto Indiana Exhibit" and the new "Tribute to Bill Wagoner Exhibit."  Not only is the museum showcasing the influence of the automobile in Marshall County, but also the musical impact of the late, Bill Wagoner, of Wagoner Music Shop, on the development of young area musicians!   Ever since the installation of the first car radio in the 1930's, music has become an important part of the driving experience! Music and cars just seem to go together!
 The Marshall County Museum hosts the "Auto Indiana Exhibit" from March 8 – April 2. The exhibit takes visitors on a ride through Indiana's rich automotive past illuminating ties between "the automobile" and the development of many other economic opportunities for the "Crossroads of America." It explores how the automobile became part of the American Dream and popular culture, from movies to making personal memories.Â
Locally, car dealers, service station owners and those involved in the auto industry, (whether as business owners, mechanics or laborers, past and present), will gather for an open house on Tuesday, March 11 from 4-7 PM to enjoy vintage automobile memorabilia, photographs of Marshall County shops, service stations, and diners, drive-ins and dives that popped up along historic Michigan Road and Lincoln Highway. Any "car buffs" and car enthusiasts are encouraged  to attend the open house and reminisce about Marshall County's deep-rooted ties with the automobile industry!
 Jan Wagoner, widow of the late Bill Wagoner will be on hand to introduce and answer any questions about the new "Tribute to Bill Wagoner Exhibit" from 4 -7 PM during the open house on March 11.  Discover Bill Wagoner's passion for music and how it shaped our community….Visually, the display transports you back to the early rock & roll era, showcasing his personal collection of customized guitars, vintage performance costumes and memorabilia from the 60's and 70's.  An audio component of the exhibit spotlights music from his self-produced CD, "New Rules," made with his wife, Jan in 1995.Â
Bill Wagoner not only leaves a musical imprint as a rock & roll lead guitarist and later as an independent music retailer that mentored young musicians, but as an animal lover and collector of Porsche cars. The museum exhibit explores the many different avenues in Bill Wagoner's life and the contributions he made sharing his music with others. Music is a powerful thing. It touches us in different ways. Bill Wagoner still touches many lives with his magical musical memories.
So, what is it with cars and music? They naturally go together!  Enjoy a unique historic  look at the influence of "cars" and "music" in Marshall County from March 8 – April 2, or at the March 11 open house from 4-7 PM at the Marshall County Museum, 123 N. Michigan St. in Plymouth. For more information on the exhibit or open house, call 574-936-2306.

Here's the latest trailer for Grand Theft Auto V which apparently lets you play as three characters (Why's the white guy always gotta be bald? Follicle-ists!) and is five times the size of Red Dead Redemption, GTA IV and San Andreas combined. Or roughly 1/35ths of a Hamm-bone if you want to get all scientific about it.
'Grand Theft Auto V' Has A New Trailer
I LIVE for the GTA series.
When my wife was walking down the aisle, I was looking at the preliminary screen shots for the game. I am going to buy a giant bag of buds and get stoned to hell and play this game for 10 hours straight when it comes out.
Then Im going to sleep for 4 hours, wake and bake, call out of work, and repeat.
Your wife sounds like one cool ass lady!!!
*high fives Deacon*
Frankly, the size of the map is giving me a stiffy.
The middle one kind of looks like a stockier middle-class Obama. Neat.
Are you one of those people that think all black guys look like Obama? Because he doesn't look anything like him, at all.
Plot-wise, I thought GTA:Vice City was superb.
Nothing beat those missions, everyone's doing cocaine and shooting up nightclubs.
Will it off the same excitement of watching TV inside the game and endless pointless errands for annoying friends as the previous one?
But can you still shoot hookers?

Did you grow up thinking this would be what you could aspire to? Your mother had a choice of an abortion and she chose you? What a disappointment.

Revolution takes place in a world with no electricity, which means no iPods, no CD players, no tape decks, no turntables. So it's not easy for creator Eric Kripke to find ways to put his love of classic rock on display in the new hit post-apocalyptic show. But when the opportunity arose to feature Led Zeppelin in an upcoming episode, Kripke jumped at the chance and found a way to light up the show with a bit of rock and roll.
Tonight's episode of Revolution features two songs by Led Zeppelin: 1970 slow jam "Since I've Been Loving You" and 1975 exotic, driving mega-hit "Kashmir," which also lends its name to the episode's title.
Getting the rights to Led Zeppelin songs is no easy feat: The British rock band very rarely licenses its music for use in Hollywood projects. (Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, a 2001 Cadillac commercial and this year's Argo are among the lucky few.) But Kripke was in for a pleasant surprise when record label Warner/Chappell Music reached out to him offering to license some Zep songs for his show. READ FULL STORY

Hi Ladies:
I haven't been on here in awhile, but everyone is always so helpful. I am starting round 2 of clomid. I have a few basic questions and I can't seem to touch base with my OB. I will give a brief background.
My OB put me on provera to initiate my period last month(I never get my period with out the help of the provera) and I did that along with 50mg on Clomid and had no ovulation.
I started the Provera again last Thursday and for some reason I got my period on Monday, which screwed up timing as my hubby will be gone for work part of next week My OB has increased the clomid to 100mg. She mentioned I could start taking it tomorrow, which is day 3 of my cycle. However, my husband is out of town next week starting Wednesday and coming back on Friday. I guess my question is typically how soon does ovulation occur after the clomid is taken. I don't want to "miss" the good time so I am unsure if I should delay the clomid by a day. My period also typically only 3 days and I don't know if you should still have it while taking the clomid. Sorry this is long winded. Thanks for your help.
Ovulation can vary for everyone without clomid and with clomid. My best friend O'd on CD 16 with 50 mg of it and I O'd on CD17 with 50mg. Other ladies I know on GP have O'd into the CD 20s.
Are you charting your temps or being monitored by your doctor to see if you O'd? How do you know when you O?
I would follow your doctor's instructions and take is as directed. Have sex has many times as you can (if there are no sperm issues) before you O and a couple days after you think you O and you will hopefully be "covered".
Yes I am charting my temps and are so up and down I am trying to get a read on them. I didnt O the first cycle of the clomid, but I know it may take a few to figure it out. No they are not monitoring me and I have a feeling they should be.
No my H doesn't have the issues, its just me . I am hoping sex on Tues and Fri will cover it and take off wed and thurs and hopefully we make the window. Thanks everyone for your advice, as always everyone is so nice and helpful.
Hey ladies, I just recently completed my 2nd cycle of clomid. My 1st round I ovulated between cd 17 and cd 19. Unfortunately no BFP. Either way my Gyno. told me to start testing 7 days from the last pill of clomid. I also used a clomid ovulation tacker that I found online.

Anthony "Tony" Tedeschi
Anthony "Tony" Tedeschi had always regretted that he left college in his second year to pursue his passion for printing full time. A successful businessman, Tedeschi didn't need to return to school – but near his 40th birthday, that's exactly what he did.
In 1999, Tedeschi and his wife, Holly, purchased Piedmont Press & Graphics, inheriting all of the issues that come with owning your own business. He was also challenged by his 13- and 11-year-old sons, Mike and Kevin, as to the importance of a college education.
Determined to prove a point to his sons, Tedeschi went to Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC) the very next day and enrolled as a student. That first semester he took Art History with locally-renowned artist Becky Parrish and American Literature with published author Bob Ashcom. He was inspired by both instructors' passion for teaching and Tedeschi never looked back.
In 2001, Tedeschi graduated from LFCC with an associate degree in Business Administration with a 4.0 GPA and as a member of Phi Theta Kappa.
"The people at the campus are really phenomenal," Tedeschi said, noting the personal attention he received as a student from the College staff.
Next, he continued the difficult road to earning his bachelor's degree. Thanks to LFCC, he was able to do that on the Fauquier Campus through Old Dominion University's (ODU's) Teletechnet program.
During the next few years, two more children were born, a new building was constructed, a magazine launched and other businesses started. Yet, Tony stayed in school year round.
In May 2007, Tedeschi graduated Magna Cum Laude from ODU with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration.
"You can still do everything you want to do and go to school," he said. "You just have to be focused about it. And there's no better time to get an education than today!"
Today, Tedeschi's education focus is squarely on his children. Michael, 22, is in his final semester at Virginia Tech University, while Kevin, 20, began his junior year at Roanoke College. John and Ella entered kindergarten at the Boxwood School this fall.
Since graduating from Lord Fairfax and Old Dominion, Tedeschi has continued to operate Piedmont Press & Graphics along with Holly. In 2005, they launched the Warrenton Lifestyle Magazine – a monthly publication distributed to about 11,000 households and businesses in Warrenton. Among his other business activities, Tedeschi is an international printing industry consultant and has clients ranging from California to Central Asia.
Tedeschi is an active volunteer in community, environmental, children's sports and economic development activities. He currently serves on the advisory board for SonaBank and Fauquier Family Shelter Services. Along with local business people, Tedeschi just launched the Greater Warrenton Chamber of Commerce where he serves as interim president.
His hobbies include traveling, sporting events, reading, listening to vinyl albums and coaching children's sports teams.
Because of Tedeschi's service to the community, dedication to education and excellent example as a role model for students of all ages, he was selected to receive the 2009 LFCC Distinguished Alumni Award.

4 Ways to Increase Wine Sales in the Tasting Room
by Katie
Filed under marketing, Travel + Wine
It's simple: Wineries are missing out on opportunities to SELL.
There's a theory in the wine industry that if customers don't join your wine club or buy when they're in the tasting room… they're lost forever.
Here's the truth: Tasting room staff could be doing a lot more to win customers over and generate future sales.
The key to generating sales is to engage with the customer. It makes all the difference in the world.
Here are a few tips to help guests purchase a bottle of wine or bring 'em back for more:
1. Create a Great Experience.
A likeable employee paired with a great story can sell wine. There's no doubt about it.
In fact, there's no bigger turn off than tasting room staff that don't even pretend to care. Why? Because the majority of people visit a winery for the experience. Whoever you have behind the counter needs to be knowledgeable about the wine and be able to sense customer needs. In other words, they need to know the difference between a customer who is looking to drink and a customer looking to taste.
Then, employees need to know how to relate and entertain. It's their job to create lasting impressions, so make sure you hire someone capable!
As a customer, if I enjoy my experience, I will either return, tell my friends, or do both. Word of mouth is key in the wine industry.
2. Ask People to Join Your Mailing List.
Not everybody is ready to join your wine club or buy a bottle on their first visit. However, if you can keep in touch… your chances of making a sale (or several) significantly improves.
Do you have their information to keep in touch? If not, you're missing out on big opportunities to SELL!
Each day, you should be signing up visitors for your mailing list and it's easier to do than you think. Because your newsletter offers lots of secret insider information such as access to VIP parties, wine knowledge to impress your friends, and great deals… it's a no-brainer that everyone would want to be on your list, right?
Well, it's your friendly employee's job, now that they are best friends with your latest customer, to sweet talk the benefits of being on the mailing list. Still having trouble building your list? How about trading in that "free" take-home wine glass for a customer email address?
3. Connect Online.
If you're on Twitter or Facebook, make sure your tasting room guests know it! Post signs where people can see, add it to the bottom (or top) of your tasting menu, on the tasting counter, and maybe even the wine label.
Once you have that, make sure employees mention your presence. Why not offer a check-in special on FourSquare as well?
Instead of telling just one person how much they've enjoyed your winery, sites like Facebook, Twitter, and FourSquare enable your customers to tell hundreds (if not thousands) of people at the same time… all about your wines! Don't miss this opportunity!
4. Offer discounts for a future visit.
They're here now and you definitely want your satisfied customers to return. How about offering discounts on the next wine purchase? Or maybe a limited-time 2 for 1 tasting on the next visit? Of course, an email or mailing address would be a nice exchange, don't you think?
Remember, it's all about engaging, so make sure you connect with your guests before they leave the tasting room… so you can keep them as customers! It's not difficult.

The majority of the land between the lakeshore and the wall of the Great Rift Valley is dominated by acacia woodlands. Especially common is the flat topped, or umbrella, acacia tree that extends its leafy sunshade over the star grass that carpets the ground below. Also prominent are the stately tamarind and sausage trees, rising up with regal presence. This habitat is favored by a wide variety of herbivores for the generous shade and food these trees provide.
Giraffe can be seen gliding through the gnarled treetops, casually browsing the twisted thorny branches with purposeful care. Impala are also commonly seen here, delicately picking their way through the undergrowth and pausing nervously at the slightest suspicion of danger. Squads of banded mongoose scurry through clearings in the underbrush. Keep your eye open for leopards; although rare, it is possible to see these aristocratic cats lounging in the treetops - clothed in a camouflage attire of spots that blend perfectly with the dappled sunlight of leafy branches.
In every tour and guide book you will undoubtedly find a description of Lake Manyara that references 'the famous tree climbing lions'. Most of these publications and write- ups seem to indicate that Manyara is a very special place as you can easily see these rare tree-climbing lions. It is true that there are lions in Manyara and they have been known to climb trees. However, this behavior is not special or endemic to Manyara. Lions are commonly seen climbing trees in both the Serengeti and Tarangire. Additionally, lions in Lake Manyara are generally very difficult to spot. The truth is that you will generally have a better chance of seeing lions in trees in the Serengeti as opposed to Lake Manyara. It is thought that tree climbing behavior may be related to the avoidance of parasites and diseases from biting insects and wet and muddy conditions on the ground.
Throughout the acacia woodlands you will see a beautiful species of gardenia, otherwise known as Jove's Thunderbolt tree. The waxy white flowers of Jove's Thunderbolt have a sweet fragrance that hangs heavily in the air around the trees, and the peculiar ridged fruit this tree produces is a special delicacy to elephants. The specific name of Jove's Thunderbolt tree is based on an ancient Angolan belief that the tree provides protection from lightning, although it is not clear why.
Large areas of shrubland are also common here, including the bright green Toothbrush Tree and Grey-leaved Cordia which rarely exceed three meters in height. The prickly thickets of this shrubland are the favorite hangout of the small but charming dik-dik, a tiny antelope that finds protection in the thorny bush.
Elephants commonly trump through these thickets and woodlands, fanning themselves with their giant Africa-shaped ears. In fact, Lake Manyara boasts one of the highest elephant concentrations in all of Africa. In their book Among the Elephants , Iain and Oria Douglas-Hamilton document their historical writings of these giant beasts. Among the Elephants details the first long-term study of elephants in the wild, and this study was conducted in Lake Manyara National Park. Iain and Oria Douglas-Hamilton spent several years living in Lake Manyara and gradually became accepted by many of Manyara's estimated 600 elephants. Elephant behavior and biology are discussed in detail along with Iain and Oria's adventures in Manyara as they become intertwined in the trials and tribulations of various resident elephant families. This pioneering field study is a must read for any elephant enthusiast and will greatly increase your enjoyment when elephant watching in Lake Manyara National Park.
Throughout this area you are bound to see the handy work of the resident carpenters in the area, otherwise known as termites. The towering forts erected by these industrious little insects are quite impressive, especially when one considers how the scale of one of these structures may exceed the tallest building made by man, when considering the size of the builders. These palatial homes are quite sophisticated, and the societies of termites that team within them are quite complex. Temperature and humidity are kept at a constant level through a multifaceted system of galleries, an "air conditioning system" of sorts. Termite family members are divided into castes of Queen, King, Soldiers and Workers. The Queen is much larger than all the other members of the colony, and may grow to be as large as your index finger. She is a busy girl may lay as many as 10,000 eggs in a single day. During the wet season, many winged termites may leave the colony in the hopes of starting a family of their own. Most of these hopefuls will be eaten by birds or lizards, and only a few lucky couples will manage to find an underground shelter where they can start a new life together and a brand new colony will begin.

Founded in June 2007 by Nicko Williamson, Climatecars is London's eco-alternative cab service. Although the popularity of cycling around the UK capital is significantly rising, the Climatecars service is sure to help improve awareness to many Londoners who still need to use taxi services. With an ambition to combine ecology, economy and innovation, the Prius hybrid car service cuts the carbon footprint of iconic black cab rides from 243g/km to 104g/km.
Branded by London based design agency Bibliothèque, the Climatecars fleet "uses a combination of the latest hybrid engine technology and carbon offsetting, resulting in a carbon neutral car service where every customer is treated as a VIP." The company's use of sleek black Priuses cuts their fleet's carbon emissions by more than half, and they they use The Carbon Neutral Company to offset the remaining emissions. We're also happy to hear that all cars come complete with bicycle racks free of charge, providing an added bit of security to urban cyclists who get caught in the rain or stuck with a flat.

Very true about the above comment.
If your going to advertise it more, then maybe you should try it on the cars themselves.
Personally I think if the cars have just a small box with the logo, no web address, phone number or slogan well, then there's the first mistake. I might be wrong though, it could be on the rear of the car, but that still limits the observer to knowing what the logo is for. The Prius doesn't exactly turn heads especially with the hybrid range by Lexus.
I think it's a great idea. Now that I know about them and if I had to go by taxi, I would choose their service over green tomato provided booking is easy, and cars are available.

Because this post reads a little like an advertisement, I thought you should know about Green Tomato Cars, a London taxi cab service that uses Prius'es. Here's their site: http://www.greentomatocars.com

7 Real Life Ways to Build Links searchengineland.comSubmitted by jasonacidre Aug 06 2013 in SEO 2 Comments Discuss (2) |
The majority of the time when we're discussing link building, we focus on things like outreach, content strategy, tools and, in general, ways we can acquire links online. Which makes perfect sense since links are… well, online. But what about the offline, or "in real life" opportunities?

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

I stayed at The Canal Park Inn with my mom, sisters, daughter, and niece. Between the 6 of us, we had the Batby Suite and the Kennedy Room. Both rooms were very clean and comfortable. Just perfect for our "girls trip." We really enjoyed the cozy charm of the old building, and the walking distance to the Hudson River. Several great restaurants were in walking distance too! Kipp was a wonderful host! He made us a delicious breakfast each morning, and helped us with all our questions about getting around the city by subway. I highly recommend The Canal Park Inn!

We stayed as a group of 6 people from 7/22/14-7/26/14 in both the Batby Suite and the Kennedy Room. I feel that the website described our accommodations accurately. We loved our stay! Rooms were a quiet and cool respite from the city, the sheets were amazingly comfortable. It was near the subway and reasonably priced restaurants. The breakfast Kipp made us daily was wonderful- delicious and filling. And the staff could not have been more helpful to us. We would return in a heartbeat!

I had an overall wonderful experience at canal park inn. The old building was charming and comfortable versus staying in a typical hotel. The owners that I had the pleasure of meeting, Kip and Sara were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Breakfast every morning was nothing short of delicious! Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking to get an authentic New York City experience while staying on vacation or business!

My girlfriend and I spent our second weekend in a year at this warm and inviting inn. It's in a great location, tucked between Tribeca and Hudson Square, a stone's throw from the Hudson River waterfront esplanade, and a quick walk to Soho and the West Village. The room was quiet and comfortable, with all the modern conveniences, in a restored mid-19th century building full of personality. Kipp and Sarah-doe are friendly and interesting hosts. This is a great place to stay for exploring a fascinating part of the city.

We stayed on our honeymoon at the canal park inn and it was a great experience. The rooms are vere spacious with a good internet connection and nice bath/shower facilities. You will find the people as very helpful, they also make an excellent breakfast for you in the waffle iron. We definitely recommend staying here when visiting New York City. Subway is only 2 blocks away, groceries in vicinity (wholefoods) and a very nice Greek restaurant around the corner which you have to check out. Lastly the stroll down the Hudson towards financial district we can surely recommend in any weather.

My husband and I stayed at the Canal Park Inn on a November 2013 weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the Sinnot suite, and especially loved the bedroom with its old brick hearth and the bathroom with the footed bath. The hosts are friendly and informative, we slept soundly, and the breakfasts were quite tasty. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

We can't praise the CP Inn highly enough. The staff were equally welcoming and charming to the adults and to the teenagers in our party. The accommodation was really comfortable, spotlessly clean and of excellent quality and the apartment had everything we needed. The location worked really well for sightseeing in a this lively and fascinating part of town. Thanks, Team, you are doing a great job!

This was our second visit to New York and it was just a joy to stay at the Canal Park Inn instead of the usual mid town hotel. Kipp and Sarah are so welcoming, friendly and accommodating and this made our stay so much more enjoyable. It was lovely to have breakfast with the other guests in the morning (breakfasts are delicious, thoroughly recommend the French Toast and Granola with berries and yogurt!) and chat to Sarah and Kipp about our plans for the day. The location was just what we were after, much more residential and low key than where we stayed before near Times Square. It was a short walk to the World Trade Centre Memorial and there were lots of nice restaurants near by for dinner. If we get back to New York in years to come we would not hesitate to stay here and we will be recommending to any of our friends thinking of a trip.

The Canal Park Inn had all of the features a visitor to New York could desire... the accommodations are charming and clean and interacting with the staff was like meeting up with old friends (who serve you breakfast). In regards to location~ there isn't a thing in New York you cannot easily find from the Canal Park Inn.... on one side down the street there is a beautiful waterfront and park and on the other side is EVERYTHING! I don't want to say the rates were too low as I plan on returning..... but I will say the rates are very reasonable and I highly recommend this charming gem.

A Citation to Discover AssetsIf a creditor sues you for money and wins, the court gives the creditor a judgment against you. The judgment tells how much money you owe the creditor and orders you to pay it.
Following the judgment, the creditor may try to collect the money you owe by requiring you to appear before the court for a Citation to Discover Assets. During this proceeding, the creditor wants to discover the amount of your income and the value of your property that he can seize to collect the money you owe. The court may require that you bring to the hearing certain financial documents including tax returns, bank statements, and payroll stubs.
The Citation to Discover Assets Creates an Automatic Lien
The creditor will send you written notice spelling out your legal rights, as well as the date and time of your court hearing. The date of the hearing is called the return date. At that time, you must appear in court and answer questions asked by your creditor's lawyer relating to your income and property. If you don't come to the hearing - or if you don't have the documents that were requested - the judge could have you arrested and charged with contempt of court.
Once a Citation to Discover Assets is issued, a lien is automatically placed on all of your nonexempt property. This means you cannot make or allow any transfers of your nonexempt property. If you do, you may be subject to court penalties for failing to obey the citation.
If the creditor serves your bank with a Citation to Discover Assets, then the bank must freeze all of your accounts unless the funds are exempt. Then the bank must appear in court and you should attend the hearing to assert your rights of exemption. The bank may not give money to your creditor without a court order.
In addition to banks where you have money deposited, the creditor may serve other third parties that have assets that belong to you or assets that are due to you. These include, for example, as an insurance company that has not yet paid your claim and your employer who owes you wages.Illinois Law Protects Some of Your Income and Property
The law specifies types of income and property that cannot be seized, which are called exemptions. Under Illinois law, you are allowed to keep:
1. $2400 of equity in a motor vehicle;
2. $1500 worth of equipment, machines, books and other items required in your work or profession;
3. Necessary clothing, a Bible, school books and family photos;
4. A general exemption of $4000, which you can use for any property you own;
5. The cash value of your life insurance policy, provided that the policy's beneficiary is a spouse or another person dependent on you;
6. Social Security benefits, unemployment compensation, disability benefits, and veteran's benefits;
7. Support, maintenance or alimony, limited to the amount reasonably necessary to support you and anyone dependent on you;
8. Up to $15,000 resulting from a personal injury award;
9. Your interest in a qualified retirement plan, which is a retirement plan permitted by IRS, such as a 401(k), pension, or IRA;
10. $15,000 worth of equity in property you occupy ($30,000 for a married couple), called a homestead exemption. You cannot exempt investment property;
11. Up to $360.00 per week of your take-home pay (after taxes).
If the creditor determines that all of your income and property is exempt under Illinois law, then the Citation to Discover Assets will be dismissed and the creditor will get nothing.
If the creditor's examination is not complete, the court may continue the citation to a future date and may require that you return for more questioning.
If the creditor determines that you have income or property that is not exempt, the creditor may choose a court-ordered:-- Payment plan in which you make regular payments to the creditor.
Steps to Follow When You Reach the Court HearingStep #1: Arrive at court on the date, time and place specified in the court papers as your return date.
If a Creditor Gets a Judgment Against You, You Should Consider...1. Paying the amount you owe... using a money order or certified check. (Do not pay in cash unless you get a signed receipt.) When you pay, make sure the judgment creditor signs a form called a Satisfaction and Release of Judgment. Then file this form at the Court Clerk's office. This shows potential creditors that you paid the judgment in full. Also, keep a copy for your records.
How the Creditor Seizes Your WagesIf you do not pay the judgment, then the creditor(s) may have your wages garnished and sent to the creditor.
If You Receive a Wage Deduction Notice...... pay close attention to your paycheck to make sure your employer is deducting the proper amount from your wages. The maximum amount that may be deducted is one of these two amounts, whichever is less: the amount of your weekly take home pay that is over $360 or 15% of your weekly gross income. In addition, your employer is permitted to withhold a small amount for the time required to garnish your wages.
How the Creditor Seizes Other PropertyIn addition to your wages, a creditor who has a judgment against you may take non-exempt money, such as money that is in your bank account. Also, the creditor can seize money that is owed to you by another person or a business, such as an insurance company.
The Bank May Freeze Only Non-exempt FundsThe bank is not permitted to freeze money in your account if the funds are exempt. In all likelihood, the bank will not know the status of your funds. If your funds are frozen and if they are exempt, be sure to tell the bank and the creditor. Social Security and most government benefits are exempt. So if the funds in your account are all from government benefits, then your entire balance is exempt.

Off-Label Use of Atypical Antipsychotics: An Update
Clinically Significant Outcomes of Interest in the Comparative Effectiveness Review (2 of 2)
A variety of validated assessment instruments are used to measure outcomes of treatment with atypical antipsychotics. Remission rates and changes in symptom severity are reported. Response rates are defined as the proportion of participants achieving an a priori-specified degree of improvement on a rating scale.
For personality disorders, either borderline (BPD) or schizotypal, several tools are used, including the Symptom Checklist 90 Revised (SCL-90-R), Clinical Global Impressions–BPD (CGI-BPD), the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), and the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS). Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is assessed with the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS). Substance abuse outcomes assessment tools include the Cocaine Craving Questionnaire (CCQ) and the Addiction Severity Index (ASI). Tourette's syndrome evaluation includes the symptom-specific Yale Global Tic Severity (YGTS) scale and Clinical Global Impressions–Improvement (CGI-I) scale. For insomnia, sleep quality and time-to-onset are scored.
Keywords: antipsychotics | atypical antipsychotics | off-label | second generation | SCL-90-R | CGI-BPD | HAM-A | HAM-D | MADRS | BPRS | PANSS | CAPS | CCQ | ASI | YGTS | CGI-I | personality disorder | PTSD | post-traumatic stress disorder | substance abuse | Tourette's | insomnia

This Week in Block Island History: A late summer hotel menuFrom "Block Island," "Florida" and "California" to the National Hotel's French menu
This week in history 101 years ago, the demise of farming in New England was inadvertently spelled out in the National Hotel's menu for late August, 1911, with the words: "FLORIDA ORANGES" and "CALIFORNIA PLUMS." But this writing on the wall — or rather, under their noses — was probably little understood by summer diners.
With the development of refrigerated railroad cars, and the electrification of towns throughout the country, produce could be shipped ever more easily from distant farms — mammoth in size compared to New England's family farms. And the ice box in everyone's kitchen kept the food fresh.
It was the electric refrigerator, though, that changed everything. As Americans on the East Coast purchased more and more refrigerators, the farms in their own towns became more and more overgrown. On Block Island, after 1930, it was the bayberry bush that took over the landscape of rolling pastures.
In 1911, though, many of the vegetables on the tables of island hotels were still from local farms — in addition, of course, to varieties of fish from nearby waters.
A tourist booklet written in 1909 by Beatrice Ball, daughter of Ocean View Hotel owner C. C. Ball, touted the island's farming and gardening virtuosity:
"Vegetables are somewhat later than on the mainland, but when they are ready for use are unrivaled anywhere. The common vegetables are raised in great abundance, and with the list may be mentioned, artichoke, strawberries, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.
"The farms supply the hotels in summer with poultry, milk, eggs and fresh vegetables, and supply lamb and veal for the markets. In the fall, butter and cheese are added to the list, and around Thanksgiving time the demand for Block Island turkeys exceeds the supply."
French Block Island fish?
Readers of that National Hotel menu 98 years ago needed a bit of French to get them by, or at the least, the ability to put on a stiff upper lip and disguise from their companions and the waitress their ignorance of the finer things in life.
The belle époque era was in full swing in the early 1900s, and as was de rigueur with writers and speech-makers of such earlier centuries, the status quo meant you sprinkled your words with Latin or French terms — appearing to have, even if you didn't, a certain je ne sais quoi enlightenment.
In the late-1970s a few restaurants began that habit here, and a simple, good-tasting mushroom cheeseburger became an entire story on some menus, with adjectives and adverbs.
The Block Island owner of the National Hotel in 1911, Ray Lewis, succumbed to that fashion.
Food became cuisine.
Starting at the beginning of the menu, diced vegetable soup was Consommé Macedoiné, the National Hotel's printer lacking the ability to place the "accent acute" over the last "e" in each of the two words.
Instead of "Mock Turtle" soup — bad enough to decipher for country folk, and meaning in my dictionary "soup made from calf's head, veal, or other meat, and spiced to taste like green turtle soup" — the National added cognac, or "au cognac," which if you imbibed enough would, verily, make a calf's head look like a turtle.
Even the lowly bluefish, as common around the island as rounded stones on the beaches, was Frenchified, being cooked with small anchovy fish — "a l'anchovie."
Apples became "Pommes Windsor."
Amongst the main courses there was "Filet Mignon a la Richelieu." Cardinal Richelieu, originally the powerful chief of government under King Louis XIII in the 1600s, became steak.
But no one dared mess with spaghetti, which remained true to its roots, "Italienne" — no doubt a bit more expensive at the National, though, due to that single, unnecessary word.
The National Hotel menu thus visited places all over the map: Bermuda, Florida, California, Spain, France and Connecticut — reminding guests, in the very last entry, why a stay at the National costs so much: Because the coffee, whose origin had nothing to do with Europe, was nevertheless "cafe noir demi-tasse," served in such a small cup that for American thirsts to be quenched, you needed to buy two or three.

Qualcomm Looks Set For Strong Growth
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Qualcomm (QCOM) reports its fourth-quarter results after market close with analysts eyeing robust future growth from the key Apple (AAPL) partner.
"We believe Qualcomm is well positioned to post strong earnings growth during F2013 due to stable royalty rates, strong connected tablet and smartphone sales driving stable ASP (Average Selling Price) trends, increasing market share for integrated chipsets as 28-nanometer supply improves, and strong 3G device sales in emerging markets," wrote Canaccord Genuity analyst Mike Walkley, in a recent note.
Apple's new iPhone 5, in particular, looks set to boost Qualcomm. The San Diego-based company provides a power management chip, an LTE modem and an RF Transceiver for the Apple phone, continuing its strong partnership with the tech giant.
Canaccord Genuity's checks indicate strong demand for the iPhone 5, which contains Qualcomm's MDM 9615 LTE technology. The firm also has high expectations for forthcoming Qualcomm-powered Android LTE smartphones from the likes of Motorola, LG and HTC, as well as Microsoft (MSFT) LTE Windows 8 phones from Nokia (NOK) and HTC.The next few months could therefore serve as the launchpad for a strong 2013, as the company lives up its billing as one of big beneficiaries of the push to LTE. "We believe improving 28-nanometer supply and strong sales of high-priced LTE smartphones, such as the LTE iPhone 5 during Q4/C2012, combined with an increasing mix of connected tablets should result in higher CDMA device ASPs during the important December quarter holiday season," wrote Walkley. "We believe this could result in improved Q2/F2013 CDMA device ASPs." Set against this backdrop, Qualcomm could offer investors a buying opportunity. Nomura Equity Research analyst Romit Shah upgraded Qualcomm to buy from neutral earlier this week. Investors, he noted, are underestimating growth in Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL), its royalty business. "QTL, which accounts for 75% of operating profits, has been a good business thus far (5-year sales CAGR 16%)," he wrote, explaining that 3G penetration rates in developed markets are a key driver. "However, the market in our opinion is underestimating 3G adoption in the emerging regions (Brazil, Russia, China and India)."
