Unofficial Transcript
ORGANISCIAK: OK. Echo Bay. Who would have ever thought that we would be talking about Echo Bay in the educational part of this building? Echo Bay proposal…uh…we were invited...
PETRONE: Yeah, I was. Richard had reached out to me. I was invited to go to a meeting. I was obviously out of the country as was Dee so I had asked Rachel to kind of go to the meeting on behalf of me and Dee and just gather information so I am sure you can give us update but Rich if you can talk a little about that.
ORGANISCIAK: Sure. To kind of set the scene a bit. About a year and a half ago John and I John Quinn and I were invited to a meeting to discuss a proposal for the building on the I guess the parking lot downtown…I don't know what name it goes by…
PETRONE: Prospect Street.
LACHER: Prospect.
ORGANISCIAK: Prospect OK Prospect. And the conversation was that in the planning of the Prospect Street piece there was an anticipation there would be about three and a half kids or something silly in terms of the total number of students they would have and there was a discussion as to what would be the incremental value that would be ascribed to each child in terms of the district. Needless to say the conversation started at a point that was roughly about $3,500 per kid which was ridiculous. We moved from $3,500 a kid and we gave our numbers which were in the neighborhood of $20-21,000 which is what State Ed department gives us on behalf of the City and for that project from that number the resolution was thirteen five and the reason it was that low was because it was minus certain considerations which the City said we really shouldn't factor in the conversation. That's as you guys know New Rochelle about the size I don't know where the project is if it's on the boards, off the boards, where it is, but Echo Bay surfaced about three months ago you probably know that and one of the elements there was to do an impact statement, _____ an environmental impact statement. As part of that invitation we in the school district were invited to meet with representatives from the builder as well as the City. And so the meeting that we did attend and it was John Quinn, Dr. Rhonda Jones, and Rachel Relkin on the board. We were joined by the Mayor Noam Bramson, the City Manager Chuck Strome, two of the developers, the name escapes me and Michael Weymouth, I believe is the Director of...
LACHER: Freimuth.
ORGANISCIAK: I'm sorry, Freimuth, the Director of Development for the City. And the conversation was pretty much the same thing, what is it that a developer should be charged against the ______ for kids and what we got was a prospective piece that the project in Echo Bay was going to be looking at something like 258 um 285 rentals not purchases but rentals and we learned for the first time that of that number roughly two-thirds would be studio or 1 bedroom and that the remaining quarter to one-third they don't show what the exact number is were in fact going to be two bedroom and so from the prospective of the projections that was done by the developer there was thinking that we would see 22 students come out of that effort or endeavor who were school age attending public school and for those 22 students there was discussion as to what would be acceptable value to be associated
We indicated that the $13,700 500 figure from last year was not acceptable any further.
John Quinn did share with folks that the incremental cost had really been impacted by everything from foundation aid having been frozen and will continue to be frozen plus some of the overhead cost of people having received income salary what have you and our proposed number was in the range of $17,500 to $18,000. There was no decision. There was no discussion. There was surprise. Needless to say but the upshot of the whole conversation was that Mr. Quinn and representatives from the City would have an opportunity to further discuss what would in fact make for a reasonable per capita. And then John had his meeting last week with Howard Ratner and what I will say ______ that is there is no firm number but there are two two opinions. I know some one who is itching maybe jump into the argument is Mr. Lacher but out of respect for all concerned. We are being consulted because it is part of the environmental impact OK It's like being invited to the dance because I have to invite you not because I want to invite you. Needless to say, we intended in the best spirit of cooperation we believe especially with the developer and laid out some of our concerns. We did feel that 22 as a number of kids was kind of low.
RELKIN: It was a spirited conversation.
ORGANISCIAK: It was spirited. Thank you. Thank you very much.
RELKIN: It was a spirited conversation.
ORGANISCIAK: We got spirited and one of the concerns we had was that this projection of 22. I don't pretend to know urban planning. I don't pretend to know the Rutgers scale in determining how many kids. I will defer if your telling me there is such a thing. I just don't think it works. I think our experience is that it just doesn't...
GROUP: Avalon…Avalon…Avalon (crosstalk)
BRICKELL: Yeah, what was the reality with projections and actualities with Avalon?
PETRONE: Way over.
POLOW: …way over.
PETRONE: I think they projected like 3 kids for Avalon or some ridiculous number.
POLOW: It wasn't three.
LACHER: I think it was 56 I think it was 56 for the entire Avalon of 800 residential units and the real number is around a hundred...
PETRONE: …a hundred and something...
LACHER: a hundred and twenty.
POLOW: 110 or 120.
PETRONE: so just double the number.
LACHER: Both buildings.
ORGANISCIAK: The number was about 118.
LACHER: and the projection I think was 56.
POLOW: Right.
ORGANISCIAK: As Ms. Relkin and Dr. Jones will tell you they were very quick to dismiss the Avalon comparison because quote this is high end…
RELKIN: They made the argument...(crosstalk)
LACHER: Poor people have more babies, is that what the developer said?
RELKIN: They made the argument that because there were not going to be three bedroom apartments they would be less likely to be families in there…
PETRONE: You know in this economy it doesn't matter.
RELKIN: (crosstalk) that's what they said the research showed but I had a hard time accepting that…problem...
PETRONE: This is why I wanted to make sure someone was around to go to this meeting to here this first hand because you know I am one of I am very skeptical about the numbers that are coming out this is another yet another project another project that's gone hit impact Trinity and Isaac directly so whether your talking 22, 44, 50 we have a problem. This is a problem so I am glad it is on the agenda now we have to really look at.
RELKIN: There was a discussion about that specifically…I just want to be clear…there were strong concerns about the impact to Trinity. It was very very clear what…(crosstalk)
PETRONE: Wait guys, let Rachel finish because I have a follow up question for Rachel. With regard to that though Rachel did was there any discussion I know you are talking about rezoning or things like that going back to your not only talking about Echo we are talking about the future of Prospect, so we're not we can't, kind of like branch out besides Echo Bay look at what is the other development project on the hill.
RELKIN: One of the issues that came up…you recall from the discussions they want to use a number they would they decided to use for Echo Bay were under development, they want to use, they decide, they decide its seventeen five. If...We don't. We told them what we want. They do not have to accept our number, they can decide whatever.
PETRONE: And let's just go back. Make sure everybody on the board is aware what we are talking about is these are projects that get PILOTs so they wouldn't being pay taxes. So we're trying. They're trying to negotiate...
LACHER: You have to put it in context….
PETRONE: …Right…that's where I'm trying to go. What we're talking about we would A not receive taxes under a PILOT but there trying to put in there now where we've basically said we cannot continue to have his burden of having all these people educating in this area you have to not to stop doing this to the school district and I think that's what we're talking about. We are now talking about any new development coming in you have to make sure you cover the schools for these additional students coming so when we're talking about 17,000 going these numbers I want everyone here aware that we are going from zero in past PILOTs to basically saying we need our student's educations to be funded. If they're coming they have to be funded. Right? Just to kind of bring it back into context. Go ahead. Rache?
RELKIN: Just for a little bit more context. We're an interested party but they're the lead agency…
PETRONE: Exactly.
RELKIN: So...
HASTIE: Who is they?
RELKIN: I'm sorry. The City is.
PETRONE: The City is, right.
RELKIN: So, we can make recommendations…
PETRONE: We have no control over it...
RELKIN: …and they have asked us but ultimately it's their decision.
BRICKELL: So they can decide they do not have to pay school taxes?
PETRONE: Correct. The City can just basically say hey we're going to…crosstalk…So it is very important that I think for any development I'm glad that I know that they have to invite us to the table but I would like them to willingly invite us to the table each time but…
ORGANISCIAK: And value us.
PETRONE: And value us…but what we're saying is but this everyone has to understand is a lot of this kind of issue is really beyond our control. We can only make recommendations and really you know go to bat but when it comes to these things the buck does not stop with us we have the buck stops with us educating these students we don't have a choice we have to educate all students regardless of cost but the issue does fall back down to you know the development and the agreements and so how do we stay involved that and the community stay involved in those discussions but they realize the burden just doesn't get shifted from one it's important that the development covers the educational cost and that they have accurate projections and we don't have these you know you don't want to compare it to Avalon but that is the only actual thing I have a comparison to where it doubled the amount of kids and we did have some stress on our system. Jeffrey?
HASTIE: So now I think it should not only cover the actual cost to educate the kids but since we're pretty much at capacity withthese buildings we should be looking at a number even higher ________
So it is even higher. I think 21,000 which _________ a bare minimum ______ it should be more than that to cover the cost of expanding the buildings.
MERCHANT: And if you did not do that you would have to do some kind of lottery. Having just kids ________
PETRONE: A lot of things are going to come into play.
RELKIN: That issue did come up. We did discuss it.
LACHER: First of all just to go back on the on the structure and the context 'cos I don't think it's as clear what I am really taking a step back to what the whole thing is about on these projects. The assumption is that there will be major property tax abatements of which we know two-thirds is the school district's money that's uh we have the most skin in that game so two-thirds would be school district money so what we are talking back is an add-back right? I'm just trying…
PETRONE: We're talking about capturing our, capturing the cost of the, well we wouldn't get the two-thirds we would normally get but covering the cost of any and all students that are coming out of the development, that's what it sounds like to me.
LACHER: Oh, that's two different things.
PETRONE: That's an add-on.
LACHER: That's actually an important, that's an important distinction because because if they…
PETRONE: Also they are making us whole for the cost of students but not all the extras, not even whole, they are not even making us whole.
LACHER: (crossalk) well first of all because state law requires, the state law because the state law requires and it was changed after Avalon I don't think because of Avalon it was changed up in Albany but the law at the time the Avalon project was done allowed the City or the municipality again it wasn't about New Rochelle it was the state law at the time allowed the municipality to keep all of the PILOT or almost all of it that was collected so we know and we can't go back but just that was the law at that time so that we know that the school district gets there are people in this room that pay more school tax for their own single family homes than the entire Avalon pays in school tax for the entire two buildings and the project but that was the law then and we are not going back to why or how at that time the municipality could keep all of the PILOT money the law was changed after that so that each taxing jurisdiction has to get its proportionate share of the PILOTs whatever they are so that if the school tax is two roughly two-thirds of the total then the school district has to get two-thirds of the total PILOT payment.
PETRONE: So, we're still getting something.
HASTIE: Was that retroactive or was that just to go forward?
LACHER: Well, from when the law changed so it doesn't apply to Avalon, it never went back to Avalon...
PETRONE: It would apply to these two.
LACHER: It would apply to any new projects butI am not clear about and maybe nobody is yet because it is still early and they haven't talked about the PILOT yet is whether this recapture like would we we would still get our two-thirds I mean if they let's say they give a, make up a number if they gave a 60% property tax abatement for 10 years or something you know so then there'd be so two-thirds of that would be ours so it sounds like a recapture it would be like an offset or a carve out from the PILOT maybe would we still get the two-thirds or whatever it is plus more that we don't know…
PETRONE: That's a question we gotta ask.
LACHER: Well that's why I wanted to mention it because it should be something that doesn't sort of gets forgotten and slip through the cracks we start with our two-thirds the law requires to get and then we're going to add back whatever this number is...
PETRONE: Or are they only guaranteeing (crosstalk)…
LACHER: Or are we only going to get this against the two-thirds or whatever is greater.
PETRONE: Right.
LACHER: Or whatever…so, that is something we would need.
POLOW: It's 22 kids.
LACHER: Well, so then then there would have to be it seems to me another thing to actually go on actual numbers and that whatever PILOT arrangement they make and we don't know how they will do the PILOT arrangement will it be through the will the City give it directly will they put it over to the IDA and give it or now we have a Local Development Corporation that can give PILOTs that the IDA used to give that doesn't give any more so there are lots of ways for that to be structured.
POLOW: It should be based on the actual number of kids coming out because you can't take a risk again.
PETRONE: Right Jeff.
LACHER: Because if we have to really learn from the experience that we've had and you know I think the being at the meeting being invited to the meeting was a good step. I think Rachel's participation and Rich and Dr. Jones and I think that John I'm sorry that participation at the meeting was you know very important but we have to make sure that we ask all the questions because if we don't ask them I promise you they won't volunteer.
POLOW: I also have another question. How firm are they in terms of studios one bedroom and two bedrooms could that change?
LACHER: Sure.
POLOW: Was any discussion made of that.
RELKIN: They just told us what….
POLOW: It's not in final form to City Council. Am I correct?
RELKIN: I don't know.
LACHER: There not at final yet…(crosstalk)…it depends on what the environmental impact statement says.
ORGANISCIAK: Yes. That has come back it has to be analyzed I think.
POLOW: Right. Because my sense is there has been a lot of discussion in the community about the number of studio apartments and what they would eventually used for. If you are talking high-end or are you aiming it at young people. Who are you aiming at? What is it going to be finally used as? What is it going to be finally used at? Know the final project. So I do think we have to very vigilant and very vocal.
REDDINGTON: How far away from are they from presenting his whole thing? Are there any _________ date? Whatever? I mean it's just talk, talk, talk, talk…
PETRONE: Since we now have since we now opened the door to communication on this and hopefully we will continue to be involved in you know the conversation Rich and John as well as myself or another member if I'm not able to attend or Dee in order to keep us keep us all abreast of what's happening because it's very important. Because I know we have our meetings here they have simultaneous meetings happenings downstairs we all have other lives so the board we can't be at every meeting in the community butjust making sure we have the information that we need going forward.
ORGANISCIAK: Let me say I think the developer's eager to get this the developer is eager to this done.
REDDINGTON: Yes.
RELKIN: I left pressure.
PETRONE: That's all I hope is that its not lip service.
POLOW: You did a good job of resisting the pressure.
REDDINGTON: The only good thing I can think about is it will improve the beauty of…there was no beauty…so it will change it.
HASTIE: It will get the rich people back in here (laughter).
PETRONE: You know what I need a (inaudible)….you guys are out of control. We're moving on.
REDDINGTON: I didn't finish. I didn't finish.
PETRONE: Wait. Mary Jane's finishing.
REDDINGTON: You think that all these years we have been using that as a kind of dumping place for trucks and all that sort of thing and I really feel that this is going to be a great improvement use that lovely waterfront.
PETRONE: I don't think. I don't think anybody around this table is against development. I think it's a matter of everyone kind of looking at that any development that goes on that we don't have the same experience that we have had in the past whereas we lose 100% of our tax base, we get increased students in our schools and then we're shuffling for money, services and whatever we really have to stay on top of any future _________. I think that is all I'm saying…
RELKIN: meeting, I don't think anybody saying in here that suggests that…anybody would….
POLOW: Just protect our interests.
PETRONE: And it's preliminary, very preliminary...one more item…

This Week in Block Island's history, late-September 1974: Sharks off Block Island!
This week in history 38 years ago, in late-September 1974, little-known Steven Spielberg finished five months of filming on a low-budget movie at nearby Martha's Vineyard. Having taken nearly three times the amount of time that Universal Studios had allocated to make the movie, the young director feared his career might be over.
The movie was titled "Jaws," and it was about a shark.
Unwittingly, for several years Block Islanders had been in the thick of this entire "Jaws affair," but no one here, or anywhere, suspected a billion dollars of newly created wealth would be the result.
And it was all because of a few great white sharks swimming between Montauk Point, 14 miles away at the eastern end of Long Island, and Block Island.
More on that later.
Mention a particular fish to a fisherman and he is bound to fire another fish story right back at you.
Here's a shark story, for instance — but don't read further if you feel you might be deterred from bathing in the island's warm ocean water of September.
In the summer of 1937, the prolific author and fisherman Kip Farrington wrote about mako sharks off Montauk and Block Island, considering them the "only desirable member of the shark family" and "one of the four finest game fish" of all.
Farrington told more of mako, which is reputed to jump higher than any other fish — able to "clear the water by at least fifteen feet" — "Savage as a tiger, the mako shark will strike at anything in the water... My largest catch weighed 220 pounds and jumped seventeen times in an hour and twenty minutes. It is said that while hooked this fish will bite the heaviest airplane wire leader in half and I believe this. Few other fish have such sets of teeth... The meat has a delicious flavor and I doubt where it can be distinguished from swordfish."
Shark fishing in nearby waters changed in the 1950s when charterboat captains from nearby Montauk sought adventure by hunting down sharks, the bigger the better. One fisherman in particular, Frank Mundus, who occasionally put into Old Harbor, targeted the nearly non-edible great white shark, which had long been known in popular lore as the largest and most violent of the species.
What do you use as bait for a great white shark? The answer — "a whale" — sounds plenty macho too, if not a little hokey. But it's true, the greatest successes in capturing great white sharks are when a fisherman finds a dead carcass of a whale floating in the ocean. If you hang around long enough, the great whites will track down the drifting smorgasbord, perhaps from hundreds of miles away.
In four decades, Mundus captured "about" seven great whites. Some were harpooned, such as his largest of 4,500 pounds. And some were reeled in, such as the most famous, the 3,427-pounder caught from his boat in 1986 by Donnie Braddock, the largest fish of any type ever captured with a rod and reel.
In early summer of 1960, after chumming with chunks of a 3,000-pound blackfish whale he had brought back to shore the day before, Mundus caught a great white shark just four miles off the Amagansett beach, right next to Montauk. He threw four harpoons in the course of an hour, with the shark succumbing after towing four barrels through the water. The 3,000-pound shark was displayed in Montauk, attracting the public, as well as reporters. Sound vaguely like a movie plot?
By chance, just three weeks later, on July 4, 1960, another charter captain mentioned to Mundus that the Coast Guard had pulled a dead whale off a beach and "dumped him off 20 miles southeast of Block Island." When Mundus got there, he saw a great white shark "bigger than the 3,000 pounder... pushing a piece of blubber the size of a 55-gallon fuel drum in front of him."
There were three big great whites feeding on the whale carcass. After having a doubled-up wire leader bit through, Mundus gave up trying to reel a shark in, instead harpooning the largest one, with five harpoons over a five-hour period. This shark weighed 3,500 pounds, was displayed for three days on the Montauk docks, and cemented Mundus's fame and fortune.
In June 1964, eight to 10 miles south of Block Island, Mundus got lucky again by tossing out whale meat for chum, and caught a 4,500-pound great white, throwing four harpoons, with the attendant four barrels. The news had spread to shore by radio, and the beaches and docks were covered with people to see his latest conquest. It was the largest shark ever caught in the century, and Mundus was featured in numerous magazine articles, which totaled several dozen during his career.
A few years later a writer named Peter Benchley wrote a fictional account of a great white shark that terrorized a beach community, only to be finally harpooned off the coast by a grizzled and proficient charterboat captain. The title of the book was "Jaws," and the author became famous.
The fictional resort was named Amityville, and was located near the eastern end of Long Island — just to the west of Block Island.
The movie that Steven Spielberg finished filming in September 1974 on Martha's Vineyard, 40 miles to the east of Block Island, brought ever-lasting fame to the young director.
Someday, someone might think of drawing a line from the site of the filming of Jaws on Martha's Vineyard, over to the spot south of Block Island where the world record 4,500 great white was harpooned and the world record 3,427-pounder was reeled in, over to Montauk where Frank Mundus kept his boat, then up to the waters near Pt. Judith, where the state record 2,909-pounder was caught in 1991. The lines make a rough triangle, and the only land inside it is Block Island.
Are we at the center of the worst shark territory in the entire world?
Well, great white sharks can live to be 100 years old. And the senses of the great white are more highly developed than almost any other creature, including other sharks. Pores in its head, filled with a substance resembling jelly, detect prey by the minute electrical impulses — only .005 microvolts — made by moving gills or a beating heart.
Keep in mind the next time you decide to swim at night off Crescent Beach, and you wade out, then lift your feet off the unseen bottom. Make sure your movements are smooth. The theory is that frenetic motion of the limbs, as when you decide to get out of the water in a hurry, might help you appear to be frightened bait. Don't let your heartbeat increase. Preferably don't let it beat at all.
And from the opening minutes of "Jaws," remember that when you feel a brush against your leg and find yourself in the darkness swirled out off Old Harbor near one of the large navigation buoys, holding on to it will not help you one single bit.
Great to have more "sea" stories about these places!


text: May 5, 2005 Mark B. McClellan, MD, PhD Administrator Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services U. S. Department of Health and Human Services Attention: CMS-4068-P P. O. Box 8014 Baltimore, MD 21244-8014 Dear Dr. McClellan: The American Nephrology Nurses' Association (ANNA) is writing to reiterate our concerns about the draft Hematocrit Measurement Audit Program Memorandum (HMA PM). As CMS moves forward to implement this policy, we urge you to consider its potential effect on the well-being and quality of life of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Many ESRD patients report dramatic changes in their functional status depending on their hemoglobin levels. An overly restrictive EPO monitoring policy could have devastating effects on this fragile patient population. ANNA hopes you will consider the recommendations from the nephrology community in its letter of January 28, 2005 to Dr. Tunis, specifically: CMS should maintain only a post-payment review framework. The threshold for review should be Hb > 13g/Dl. Full and timely reimbursement of EPO claims should be made when either a) EPO dose is appropriately adjusted or, b) a higher hemoglobin level is medically justified. When necessary, reimbursement reductions should be based on recommended dose adjustments rather than dose edits, which do not take patient variability into account. Clinicians who document efforts to provide sound medical therapy should be reimbursed. Anemia is one of the most debilitating co-morbidities of ESRD. ANNA supports a HMA, if necessary, that provides for maximum flexibility of dosing based on patient needs and physician judgment. Sincerely, Suzann VanBuskirk, BSN, RN, CNN President cc: Board of Directors

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Early this year I read an article about a groundswell movement by people aiming to pare down there stuff to only 100 things. I now plan to weed out as much stuff as I can over a period of two years to see how little I can get by on. Mahatma Gandhi apparently lived with only 10 things, while Buddha Gautama got by with only eight things. I think it's key that they were both male. Modern women lug around more than one hundred things daily in their handbags alone! My bag was my first target. I sort it out daily to make sure I only carry the absolute bare essentials. My next target was (still is) the master bedroom at home. My guess is, at the end of two years, I will have to admit that my intermediate goal will have to be: 100 things IN EACH ROOM in my home. But even that would already be a major achievement for me. Isn't it amazing how much stuff we accumulate as the years go by, and never even think that most of the things we own are not even necessary for us to live good lives?

Instead, the spectator's jockey shorts seem to be pulled from him. Twentieth Century Shorts is complete with patter and ready to go out of the bag. Similar to 20th Century Silks in effect, except this uses shorts (which come with the trick).

South Africa lock Eben Etzebeth has been cited for making contact with the "eye or eye area" of Scotland fly-half Greig Laidlaw.
The alleged incident - effectively gouging - happened in the second half of the Springboks' 21-10 victory over the Scots at Murrayfield on Saturday.
Etzebeth, 21, will appear before an International Rugby Board disciplinary hearing on Tuesday and if found guilty he is likely to be banned for a minimum of three months, with three years the maximum penalty.
South Africa play England at Twickenham on Saturday.
Argentina prop Juan Figallo has been cited for head-butting France captain

This is an excerpt from the anti-abortion "Walk For Life" rally at the Civic Center. Recording for most of the first hours, this speaker seemed to get the strongest applause. this should be heard to understand how bad the messages are, because these religious-based messages seem to be resonating with more and more people. In the past two years, as example, the "Walk" seems to be including an increasing amount of college-age adults. This may be a result of effective campus organizing, without appropriate campus-based presence from left-wing political organizations and limited other activity options. (9 minutes) audio

FREE SAFE: Basic Firearms Safety & New York State Pistol Permit Course
When Registering please provide your name as it appears on your Driver's License! When you arrive you will be required to show a valid Photo ID.
Training to be conducted at Jamison Business Park - 611 Jamison Road, Elma NY 14059
Whether you're a rifle or shotgun owner or someone interested in getting a handgun, the most important thing about gun ownership is safety. Even though a course is not required to own rifles and shotguns in NY, safety training is highly recommended. And, if you're interested in getting a handgun permit in NYS, a certified course is required.
To help our WNY neighbors be safer, more responsible gun owners, EMPact America is teaming up with Rivera/B.C.J.S. Investigations to offer a FREE 4-hour course from top, certified instructors this January – it's called the "SAFE: Basic Firearms Safety & NYS Pistol Permit Course." To accommodate as many people as we can, the course will be held at least twice in January, once on Tues., Jan. 8thfrom 6 PM to 10 PM and again on Sat., Jan. 19th from 9 AM to 1 PM – just attend one of the two. The class will also be a certified NYS Pistol Permit Course.
The course will include basic rifle, shotgun and handgun safety, range safety, home safety (including proper storage and use), firearm familiarity, functioning, operation, care and nomenclature – plus, what to do (and not do) in the event of a home intruder.
The primary instructor will be Miguel Rivera, Jr...he's the Vice President/Co-owner of Rivera/B.C.J.S. Investigations. He is also a Certified NRA/Law Enforcement Instructor who consults for the Central Police Services academy and is the former Range Master for the Buffalo Police Dept.
Help keep your family safe. Gun safety starts with you. No experience or purchase is necessary. This is a free community service courtesy of EMPact America.
EMPact America is not a firearms related organization, but we do care deeply about safety. Due to the recent political climate many people have recently purchased firearms in fear of potential changes in gun laws.
For more information or to register, go to PrepareHub.org/safe (that's PrepareHub.org {forward slash] safe) – or for general inquires, you can e-mail Info@EMPact America.org or call 716-435-7873. We will also post a link on our EMPactAmericaInc Facebook page.

I have terrible allergies and suffer from chronic nasal congestion. I have tried all sorts of nasal congestion relief and I feel like they all work for a short time then I get stuffed up again.
Does anyone have any good home remedies to take care of nasal congestion? It would be also great if it took care of chest congestion as well.
I have talked to my doctor about my issues but he always gives me the same medications which don't really do much. Even when my infection is gone I still suffer from a clogged nose.

Hype Williams / Gatekeeper / BODYGUARD / White Car
The Echoplex; Los Angeles, CA
An introduction: You know you're in for a long night when you step outside for a drink and, immediately, hear the man in the suit jacket, vest, and Burzum shirt ask loudly, in good faith, "I'm not a hipster, am I?"
The short answer: Oh, fuck me.
+1: I took my fiancée with me. Although she was unfamiliar with the performing artists, she has a high tolerance, and sincere appreciation, for difficult music. And although she was exhausted, from both work and sleeplessness, she was excited to join me. I was excited to have her with me. I said, "I think you might enjoy this." (I talked about James Ferraro, and I talked about Hype Williams.) Three bands in, she asked, "So, do people actually like this, or are they just supposed to like it?" During the show, she posted a status update: "I think the worst parts of the 1990s threw up on this venue." On the ride home, she said, "It was just so empty." "Insincere," too.
Gratitude: I'm sure the promoter meant well, and I'm grateful for the spots on the guest list. However, I can't imagine what those who paid for this might have thought. I'll check Twitter later.
Drinks: Four whiskeys between the two of us. Not even a significant buzz, unfortunately.
The line-up: White Car, BODYGUARD, Gatekeeper, Hype Williams. In between sets, a DJ spun some records. I watched a girl sing along to one song in the light of her cell phone.
Words spoken from band members to audience: Zero. Unless you count middle-fingers and mocking gestures, which may or may not have been deserved.
WHITE CAR: My fiancée asked, "What am I watching?" Men, within the independent music realm, don't have to try. Women have to try, but men do not have to try. Apparently, you can fiddle, on stage, with your sequencer, and process your David Byrne-wannabe vocals through a shitty delay pedal, and occasionally hit single keys on your synth, and get a pass. Thank your penis, guys. (Still, no one will dance to your trite, but very danceable music, because Los Angeles has magnified Portland's up-ass-stick into infinity and stuck it up their own, into impossibly dark depths, and Burzum shirt non hipster and indoor sunglasses girl would rather be caught dead than moving to your music. They will still discuss their Record Store Day finds outside, though, while taking a drag from a blunt.)
Thesis: Los Angeles hates fun, or music, or both. It hasn't always been the case, but all that is left, here, now, are late-twenty somethings and early-thirty somethings who still go to shows, on Tuesdays, at midnight, to stand around and look bored, or worse.
BODYGUARD: All that was on stage was a motorcycle (fuck the details) and some asshole Karate Kid'ing behind it, while "RAIN" played in the background. Twenty-five minutes of this. It was pointlessly hostile, and boring.
GATEKEEPER: A computer hidden behind a smokescreen playing danceable music that too few people danced to. It sounded like a cross between a Power Rangers fight scene and the Mortal Kombat theme. Even still, I couldn't tell when their set ended and the DJ began spinning. Again.
HYPE WILLIAMS: This set was the least disappointing. It was dull, but it was Hype Williams-dull – which they have exploited toward incredibly interesting, and I daresay moving, ends. Not tonight, unfortunately. Before the band stood two women, bikini-clad and muscular, who flexed and posed throughout the duration of the show. I won't patronize you by exploring their obvious function as critique. Hype Williams' set more or less consisted of (apparent) improvisational noise. It was unremarkable. The music pulsated, deeply, through my body, but it left no impression more significant or lasting than my whiskey did. I watched part of the show through a cell-phone camera held above me; that was interesting.
Some guy: Some guy yelled for one of the women to "take off [her] shirt." "Bikini top" is difficult to yell in a pinch. (He didn't get the critique, obviously. Or maybe he was being ironic.)
Representative: The audience stood around, staring into the darkness of the empty stage, for a good five minutes after Hype Williams finished their set. Waiting. No encore.
Travel time: From Berlin to Los Angeles. From New York to Los Angeles. From Chicago to Los Angeles. For this? Really?
The ride home: It was better than the ride there. Into Los Angeles, we fought construction traffic, and I fought nasty heart palpitations, to make it, on time, to the Echoplex, to see a show I wanted to see for weeks. I was, if I can even admit this anymore, genuinely excited to see some artists I enjoy listening to, thinking through, and feeling through. Instead, we were given all of the above. As we got in my car to drive away, to complain to each other, and to find some consolation in the fact that we still openly feel excitement about music, about the reality of the generous show/performance, and most of all about each other, we turned on the radio, and there was Gotye, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull, Selena Gomez, and others, imbued with a new (however slight, however cynical) sense of value. I mean, at least their performances are sincerely pointless. Right?
Conclusion: I don't know. I'm glad to be home, though.
Ty Segall / Mikal Cronin
East End; Portland, OR
I braved the bitter cold Friday evening for what looked to be a slap-happy throwdown anchored by a solo performance from the San Francisco Garage Rock Whiz Kid himself Mr. Ty Segall, he of the wavy strawberry locks and snotty stage demeanor, he of a couple very nice albums and a last name that either sounds like an ocean bird or an action hero depending on whom you ask. More on him in a jif.
The two local bands were fine: Still Caves, a drummer-singin' scrumbucket of broke melody; and Cyclotron, all Big Star fronted by Darby Crash and way sassy. Speaking of Darby, it was my amigo that brought him up, and I realized this second wave of the ongoing garage revival really is more punk and glam-obliged than the first, less 1960s jangle, more 1970s scuzz. Fine by me. So do y'all know about Mikal Cronin? Seemed like most of the crowd was there for him, not the seagull, and who could blame them; dude's rock action solos were serious, his band tighter than Christmas. The press predicts Cronin to have a huge 2012; I predict he covers the next Tiger Beat. I had to keep dodging an aggressive ponytail during Cronin's set courtesy the girl in front of me, but no doubt she was lost in a moment of hunky guitarish wonder; so were we all.
Segall took the stage incredibly late, and I was oh-so-tired, but I stuck it out, most of it at least, a hot, drunken mess of fast-as-fuck solo jams and endearingly dilapidated cover songs (Sabbath, this James Gang tune, which I always thought was Zeppelin). "Everybody get high," he not so much suggested as commanded, the crowd halfheartedly woo-hooing in response. So I decided to head home. Outside, I overheard a rather blasé fella talking to another. "I've been continuously disappointed by Ty," he lamented. But who, I thought, is the young rock and roller trying to please, anyway?
tUnE-yArDs / Pat Jordache
Regency Ballroom; San Francisco, CA
While a handful of music critics and fans recognized her earliest potential, it only took a couple years and a sophomore release (2011's w h o k i l l) before the buzz about Merrill Garbus's solo project tUnE-yArDs became impossible to ignore. Being an East Bay local, I've taken much pride in witnessing each step of the band's transition. Super-stoked on 2009's BiRd-BrAiNs since her tour with Xiu Xiu, I couldn't wait to hear what was next for the experimental, DIY soul-pop act. And though it's easy to hate on a band or artist that hits big-time recognition relatively quickly — hell, she's even getting nods of approval from Yoko Ono — if anyone deserves it, it's this raw, talented, golden-throated, loop and uke-mastermind.
Being the last show of tUnE-yArDs and Montreal-based experimental pop act Pat Jordache's tour, SF's swanky open-spaced Regency Ballroom proved to be a more than fitting spot. Considering this was the night before Thanksgiving (or "Tofurkey Day," as most of these bohemian San Franciscans attendants might prefer), a packed house was a modest surprise. Pat Jordache began his set promptly with a crew of three backing musicians — two percussionists doing their best auxiliary work à la Animal Collective's Panda Bear stylings and one unquestionably skilled guitarist. With pedal-packed delay and the occasional pentatonic frills and trills, it'd be easy to mistake him for a disciple of Dave Longstreth. It wasn't until Jordache, who pounded his way through a sharp repertoire of upbeat and occasionally dissonant tunes on bass, played a dead ringer for "Where the Streets Have No Name" did some of the guitarist's delay-musings feel a tad too derivative.
Still, Jordache proved a friendly attitude, as he invited tUnE-yArDs onstage to accept a cake made in honor of appreciation. "We're happy to have all our limbs intact," Jordache mused, suggesting the tour must've been one to remember.
It'd been a while since I'd seen a performer completely own a crowd the way Garbus did when she finally stepped onstage. With an improvised intro of growls and looped a capella vocals, she sounded less like a woman and more like a force of fucking nature. The crowd responded in intense call-and-response: fists held high and outreached palms as if in prayer or spiritual acknowledgement. "This song will not continue until everyone's mouth is open," Garbus declared. The song not only continued but reached a peak of frenzy as the band busted into the opening moments of w h o k i l l standout "Gangsta."
While some chose to dance, others chose to engage in some sort of pointing ritual whenever Garbus directed a drum stick at the audience — which she did a lot. While antics were certainly entertaining, the setlist stayed relatively within the bounds of w h o k i l l. "You Yes You" proved a strong groove between the outstanding bass work of Nate Brenner and Garbus's stuttering ukulele strums; "Doorstep" felt just as doo-wop as it did politically relevant; "Es-So" bounced like no one's business; "Powa" demonstrated a candid glimpse at raw sexuality yet without being perverse; and "Killa" held an almost bombastic cadence about womanhood and fierceness. Basically, an incredibly well-executed set of 80% from her sophomore sensation.
Still, the night's highlight was the outstanding hit "Bizness." An easy choice, perhaps. Like many, though, I can't get over the seriously great live sax duo whose interweaving lines took the song to another level. It's refreshing to hear how improvisation within such a finely tuned pop structure can do more than wonders. On the other hand, the band debuted a new song that felt more than a little flat to me. Set in a minor key, the spooky groove didn't exactly go anywhere. "Someone recently asked me if I ever make any mistakes live," Garbus said after a false start. "Now you know."
Nevertheless, Garbus' relentless experimentalism was the shining memory of the night. With aggressive vocal and percussion loops, seriously dissonant and precise ukulele accompaniment, the style of tUnE-yArDs is one of confrontation and complete invitation. Wielding her voice with deep expression and dynamics, the two encore songs of the night demonstrated this notion perfectly. Within the first few uke-plucks of "Fiya" (a song that gave Garbus some extra money needed to complete her last album via a Blackberry commercial), the crowd recognized such introspective lines as "When a girl feels so alone/ What a tease to throw a bone/ Should've just stayed at home" and "What if my own skin makes my skin crawl?" The brilliant part, however, is how such a small song can erupt into a frenzy of dance — only to be followed by final encore "My Country." As balloons were released and practically everyone took to shaking up a leg, the lyrics of "My country 'tis of thee" rang vaguely fitting to the national holiday soon to follow.
Crooked Fingers / Strand of Oaks
Mississippi Studios; Portland, OR
I had seen Tim Showalter perform as Strand of Oaks not three months ago; all by his lonesome, he'd managed to create something singular and revelatory. This time, he'd come armed with a full band, or almost full; no drummer, instead a machine whose volume sometimes threatened to overtake that of the three men on stage. There were instances, however, where it felt very much like a rock show. Showalter's visage is one of stoner metal glory daze, and the music approached a soft sort of sludge. "These songs are sad as shit," he deadpanned. "Deal with it." It was indeed quite heartbreaking. Strand of Oaks' medieval-meets-metapersonal sound is totally unique and captivating, and whatever record Showalter puts out next will probably be a doozy.
It was sad songs we'd come for, and Crooked Fingers delivered, Eric Bachmann himself having adopted the full-band practice for the current tour, the honey-throated Liz Durrett again accompanying him on vocals and guitar. I cannot express how utterly perfect their two voices sound together without resorting to some sort of inappropriate metaphor, so I will leave it at that. While this performance lacked the quiet magic that made Bachmann's MFNW outing so truly special, the new band laid into some honest-to-gawd grooves. Forlorn white guy folk never sounded so hearty.
I don't recall specific details due to being some beers deep, and I only took a couple notes because come on, I'll remember, but I will say that Crooked Fingers is onto something good these days. If you don't yet have it, please buy Breaks in the Armor for your health. It's music made by a middle-aged former indie rock icon with the body of a linebacker, dagger-sharp music made by and for drinking and heartbreak, by and for Eric Bachmann and his head and heart and buddies. But it's alright if you listen, too. And you probably should, because it's pretty wonderful stuff.
Mark Kozelek
Aladdin Theater; Portland, OR
"Shit, I had a bunch of dirty jokes I wanted to tell," Mark Kozelek deadpanned upon seeing a child in the front row of the reverent mid-sized crowd at Portland's Aladdin Theater. It is itself a venue that demands some reverence, an aged and atmospheric place ideal for intimate performances such as this one. Kozelek's most recent outing as Sun Kil Moon, last year's Admiral Fell Promises, was a chilly and cartographic affair that sent listeners across the physical and emotional distances of the American West and through the tangled recesses of its creator's wry and yet tortured headspace.
For this show, Mark Kozelek was as warm as Mark Kozelek gets, which is to say he at least engaged the audience, if only to make fun of them. "It's always the guys without dates who have the book," he remarked, a shot at a timid concertgoer holding a copy of Kozelek's Nights of Passed Over but also an edgy bit of subtle self-deprecation. It was a theme that resurfaced throughout the evening, in the lyrics of a new song ("Had a lot of female fans, and fuck they all were cute/ Now I just sign posters for guys in tennis shoes") and in other self-pitying barbs ostensibly directed at the crowd.
In between the good-natured (?) ribbing, Kozelek managed to play some songs; in fact, he worked impressively from his vast catalog, pulling from Red House Painters' Old Ramon ("Cruiser") and his consensus best-to-date, SKM's Ghosts of the Great Highway ("Glenn Tipton"). He even did a Modest Mouse cover. It all sounded pretty great, but the performance, beset as it was by the disdain of the singer's one-sided audience "interactions," revealed that though Kozelek's songs still traffic in the too-common human predicaments of alienation and heartbreak, he hasn't yet discovered how to let his fans in.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Arena; Vienna
Despite what its name might suggest, Vienna's Arena is not really an arena in the traditional sense of the word. In reality, it's a collection of a few concert halls, none particularly large, inside a heavily graffitied courtyard. The place feels like an overgrown punk/hardcore venue, sprawling beyond the tiny size typically allotted such a place and invading the surrounding buildings and yards. It's an appropriate place to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor, a band whose idealistic punk roots sit uneasily beside their multi-instrumentalist grandeur and worldwide acclaim and audience — a punk ethos stretched out on a global scale, three chords reaching toward a symphonic infinity.
Opening was Colin Stetson, sometimes member of Arcade Fire and Bell Orchestre, who brought an ensemble of various-sized saxophones out to produce his swirling, repetition-centered solo performance. His sound was surprisingly effective despite the large hall, with deep, full bass tones and twinkling half-melodies filling the space with a decidedly rich sound for a solo act. He was charmingly nervous in his brief between-song comments, dedicating a tune to his father and thanking the audience profusely for its time. With his combination of emotional directness and light experimentation, he was a fitting and engaging opening act, and was appropriately well received by the crowd.
And then Godspeed You! Black Emperor came onstage. They assembled slowly, patiently, in front of their now-fabled loop of 16mm film with the word "HOPE" scrawled directly onto each black frame; seeing the image in person for the first time was a decidedly emotional experience, setting the stage for a night charged with desperate despair and hope. Yet it also set the tone for a strange current of nostalgia running through the entire show, one that complicated the experience in ways the band's powerfully uncomplicated sound did not — with no new material performed, the collective has now edged towards the sort of experience I imagine from, for example, a recent Pixies or My Bloody Valentine performance. There's something about GY!BE live self-presentation and audio/visual aesthetics that allows them to shy away from the easy category of the "reunion show" — they always seemed too engaged with the world to ever let their sound live outside of its social time and place. It all added up to an occasionally thrilling and occasionally off-putting performance, at least for this dutiful TMT-er.
If we focus on the music on its own terms, the show was as deeply affecting and powerful as one could hope, at once meditative and visceral. Onstage, the collective was paired down to seven members. While still a huge presence by any other band's standards, this was enough to render their sound more direct and immediate, bringing the sound closer to that of a guitar-centered punk band — again — despite the group's lush sound and patient approach, it was impossible to keep the halfway-punk aspect of it all out of mind. With the band leaning particularly hard on their taut, relentless, near-martial rhythm section for nearly the entirety of the performance with only brief moments of rest, the whole show took on the feel of dirt-simple punk song stretching into ambience by sheer force of will and duration, the power of a minor chord redoubled endlessly through repetition. There's also something wonderful about audience members cheering for spoken-word samples employed in their pieces — lacking breaks between songs, the audience latched onto these now-familiar recordings of street people, preachers, and others as moments of recognition, clapping for each in term. Ambiguous but always heartfelt in their content, they placed the audience in an unusual but powerful place, grasping onto the voice as a moment of definition in the swirling mix of misery and hope.
The collective pulled pieces from their full discography, though in a move that seemed to hold to their uncomfortable relationship with fame, they avoided "East Hastings," the one song that brought them closest to truly mainstream recognition with its prime placement in 28 Days Later. Among the wealth of material they did play, in a show that stretched to about two hours, it wasn't missed. The band played beautifully, and when they walked off-stage without an encore, it felt appropriate. The mixture of careful restraint and widescreen scale, of obscurantist stand-offishness and popular appeal, has always been at the center of their identity. Taken along with a sound that merged a static sense of nostalgia with a rawer sound and sense of immediacy, it was a night of blunt, powerful emotion carrying more complicated, sometimes uncomfortable undercurrents. Which, in the case of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, isn't a bad thing.

Brooklyn, New Yo...
This shirt has three of my favorite things going for it. Flowers, Watts Towers, and Boys.
After some encouragement and hearing how hard up the male Etsians are for gear, I am back to making men's clothes.
This t-shirt looks like it was made someone who took some artistic liberty with the basic T (and was having a bit o trouble with her serger, but in a charming way).
The screenprints are old-school homemade by me, by stretching a random light weight fabric across what used to be desk drawers but I repurposed into screen frames. The stencils were drawn in with screenfiller. The Watts Towers is a rendition by yours truly. The orchids: they are actually shadows of orchids. I had a really beautiful plant at one point, and it was casting such lovely shadows across the living room wall I traced them. And turned the tracing into a screen.
The Towers are printed on a separate piece of fabric and sewed onto the shirt, with the green shirt cut away.
Black ribbing at neck; sleeve hem serged, turned up inside out and topstitched; serged unturned hem.
I made a brother for this shirt, but it found a new home before I got its picture taken :(
cotton, ink, love

MotionPortrait and Flash together result in uncanny interactive realism
Monday, March 31, 2008 - 2:30pm
We've heard of MotionPortrait before, that software that animates still photos, turning them into moving, smiling and talking 3D models. But we haven't seen an example of it used like this, where a nearly lifelike model is animated in Flash and follows your cursor around the screen like it's a fly on the wall. We're not sure why her eyes are so red — gal, get yourself more sleep! Maybe she's been up all night following cursors.
Follow the link below, and prepare to be impressed.
