This Year's Christie's Green Auction a Success
Last week, international art collectors, philanthropists, celebrities and designers convened for the third year in a row for Christie's Green Auction.
Last year, the evening's festivities raised a record-breaking $2.4 million for four of the world's leading, science-based environmental nonprofits: Oceana, Natural Resources Defense Council, Central Park Conservancy and Conservation International.
The Green Auction's companion online auction, powered by charitybuzz, will continue through Thursday, and includes a day with President Bill Clinton, a 13-day safari in Kenya and a volleyball lesson with Gabby Reece.
And if you can't afford to bid on a safari or celeb experience, you can also text GREEN to 80888 to donate $10.
A huge thanks to everyone who has helped make this year's auction a success!

One More Way to Give to Oceana
As we gear up for the holiday season, we are excited to announce that there is now one more way to support our work to protect the oceans: through a Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), the world's largest annual workplace giving collective.
The mission of the CFC is "to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee focused, cost-efficient, and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all."
If you're a federal employee, you can designate Oceana as your charity of choice through CFC #10051.
Your valuable donations to Oceana will support our campaigns to save threatened marine wildlife, stop ocean pollution, promote responsible fishing and combat climate change and ocean acidification.
For help setting up giving through the CFC, please contact CFC Customer Support via email or at 202.465.7230. If you are not a federal employee, check out the other ways you can support Oceana!

- We will continue to work for better protections for sharks all over the world.
- We will continue working to ban destructive fishing practices, like bottom trawling, in millions of square miles of ocean, including the Mediterranean Sea and Belize's coral reefs.
Plus, there's something in it for you. After your vote, you'll get a $3 Garnier HerbaShine coupon or a $1 Garnier Fructis® coupon and a sweepstakes entry to win a year's supply of free Garnier products.

Christie's Green Auction Approaches
Andy Sharpless is the CEO of Oceana.
I wanted to give you advance notice of Christie's Green Auction: A Bid to Save the Earth on March 29th at New York's Rockefeller Center. This special event premiered last year, raising an unprecedented $2.4 million for Oceana, Conservation International, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Central Park Conservancy.
I applaud Christie's for its vision and initiative; every item up for bid is donated by generous supporters, and Christie's is waiving all customary auction fees so that all proceeds benefit the groups.
A Bid to Save The Earth will include the live auction at Christie's on March 29th as well as an online silent auction at Charity Buzz that started yesterday.
The auction features coveted celebrity experiences, upscale eco-vacations and other once-in-a-lifetime experiences. You can bid to win a day shadowing President Bill Clinton; a three-day getaway on the luxury super yacht Lady Sheridan during the Cannes Film Festival offered by the owners and Burgess Yachts; and a ten-night trip featuring the exceptional wildlife of Tanzania and the stunning beaches of Mozambique offered by Nomad Tanzania, Vamizi Island and Journeys by Design.

You can feel pretty good about that (we sure do.) Get your posters here and spread the word.

Going Once, Going Twice...
Okay, so stop me if you've heard this one…
What happens when four top NGOs team up with a world renowned art dealer for Earth Day?
You get an unprecedented partnership that culminates in Christie's First Annual Green Auction: A Bid to Save the Earth. Wait, did you think I was telling a joke?
Oceana, along with Natural Resources Defense Council, Conservation International and The Central Park Conservancy, NBC Universal, Barney's of New York, Deutsche Bank and Target have been working to put together the April 22 auction that takes place at Christie's in Rockefeller Center in New York as part of the 40th celebration of Earth Day.
Christie's is waiving its usual fees, so every penny from the live auction and silent auction goes to the four charities. A ton, and I mean a ton, of amazing artwork and items are up for bid the night of the event, but you don't have to be at the event to make a bid to save the earth.
Today the online silent auction launches and along with the artwork and items up for bid there are a boat-load (pun most definitely intended) of experiences on the block including swimming lessons with Oceana supporter and gold medalist Aaron Peirsol (with a $5,000 bid as of 10 a.m. this morning) and sailing lessons with Ocean Conservation Yacht Club Commodore Kristen "The America" Berry.
Here are a few of my personal favorites:

Young Mind in a Growing Brain-

Master eBook ISBN13:

eBook Price :
(Price includes all sales taxes where applicable)
Originally Published :
May 20, 2005
A Young Mind in a Growing Brain summarizes some initial conclusions that follow simultaneous examination of the psychological milestones of human development during its first decade and what has been learned about brain growth. This volume proposes that development is the process of experience working on a brain that is undergoing significant biological maturation. Experience counts, but only when the brain has developed to the point of being able to process, encode, and interact with these new environmental experiences.
This book's aim is to acquaint developmental biologists and neuroscientists with what has been learned about human psychological development and to acquaint developmental psychologists with the biological evidence. The hope is that each group will gain a richer appreciation of both knowledge corpora. The authors hope to appeal to neuroscientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, and their students.
The idea for this book was born in 1993 when the authors--a leading developmental psychologist and a pediatrician--met for the first time and recognized the complementarity of their backgrounds and the utility of a collaboration. The reception of their first two papers motivated this attempt to synthesize the available information over a longer developmental era. Learning a great deal over the past decade, the authors hope that their enthusiasm provokes an equally intense curiosity in readers.

So I took the Crazy Cat Lady quiz (via the Smirking Cat). Key question for me:
Do you bring your boyfriends home so the cats can meet them?
That's past tense for me, but yes, I brought him home, and yes, Grey Kitty approved. Reader, I married him.
I scored 67%, well above average. This is cause for grave concern, given that I haven't actually had a cat of my own since 2001.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 Touch hands-on
Lenovo is announcing its fair share of brand new products at CES 2013, but its also giving some of its older products a refresh so they'll act as better Windows 8 machines. One such line of products getting a refresh is the Lenovo U series. This is essentially the same exact thing as older IdeaPad U310 models, but there's one key feature being added with this latest release: touch.

The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~John Greer

Eat and meet
BaganOverall the eating scene in Bagan is pretty disappointing. Nyaung U has the largest number of eateries across all fares, New Bagan has a mishmash of local and tourist fare and Old Bagan is dominated by the open-air eating scene not far from Ananda Pahto.
In Nyaung U, the tourist eating scene is centred on Restaurant Road, which is lined with restaurants, cafes, travel agents, souvenir stalls and so on. Despite trying multiple places along here, nothing was particularly good -- the Indian food in particular is poor and overpriced. There's also a bunch of places advertising Thai food, but for a country that neighbours Thailand, the Thai fare here was especially poor -- and often totally unrecognisable as Thai. Towards the northern end there are a couple of BBQ places -- and given BBQ is fairly difficult to screw up, they're not too bad. Overall, Restaurant Road is totally forgettable. We have heard good things about Black Bamboo, on a sideroad leading to Restaurant Road, but it was closed when we were in Bagan.
That's not to say Nyaung U isn't a write off for food -- you just need to get closer to town. The highlight for us was Weatherspoon's, opposite Pann Cherry Guesthouse, which does excellent foreigner-orientated fare and has in the form of Win Tun, an exceptionally friendly, English speaking owner. Highly recommended.
For breakfast in Nyaung U, your best bet is a couple of local eateries almost opposite Shwe Na Di Guesthouse where you'll get very good mohinga at local rates. Come the evening there are a couple of very popular BBQ places along here as well.
If you're looking for a sundowner, The Beach (just follow the large signs from the roundabout) has arguably the best river-frontage in town, but it was totally deserted for our sunset visit so we bailed after a single beer. Still, with a crowd, this could be a fun splurge -- prices are moderate. We've also been told about a no-name joint operating out of a local's house behind Shwezigon Paya -- the traveller that told us about it couldn't remember the name, but said the beers were iced, cheap and the views were great. We'll be chasing that one up!
In Old Bagan, the bulk of the places to eat are set in a rambling semi-open air area near Ananda Pahto The standout around here is Star Beam which does, we kid you not, fantabulous fresh baguetes with brie -- or was in camerbert -- we should know as over eight days in Bagan we had three. This cluster of eateries is also well known for their vegetarian restaurants, which we found overpriced, even considering the massive serving size, but the fresh juices and shakes were refreshing.
As with its accommodation, New Bagan's eating scene is a very mixed bag. There are a clutch of places on the north side of the Eight Faces Paya in the middle of the main road that can cover you for both breakfast and dinner. While Nooch Bagan looks a bit cheesy with its fairy lights in the evening, the food is solid, the portions oversized and the service friendly. There's sort of an attached karaoke/open air dancing room thing next to the entrance here (its difficult to describe, you'll recognise it when you see it) that had a bunch of wasted travellers in it when we visited it. Was a peculiar yet fun scene.
Further west down the main road you'll reach the tourist-orientated Silver House restaurant which we didn't try because the windows were wrapped in chicken wire and, on the opposite side of the road there is another small restaurant, which does standard dishes for reasonable rates.
For river views down this part of Bagan, your best option is either Green Elephant or the second riverfront place just to the south of it -- both of which offer tourist orientated fare and cold drinks with a river view thrown in. You will pay a slight premium for eating here, but the views are very pleasant.

Blog Challenge
I have a personal blog and want to put together a blog challenge for fellow Disers. Is there some sort of official banner we can use to link to Power of 10? Once I get challenge details ironed out, I'll start another thread :)
You can use this. You may have to shrink it and manipulate it a bit so it's fit in your signature.
Awesome! Thanks!

Stern was known for his designs of East Coast seaside homes and he brought his expertise of the New England seashore hotels of the late 1800's to the Yacht Club. Unlike the casual atmosphere of its sister resort, the Beach Club, the Yacht Club has more of a quiet, understated elegance about it. This sophistication is found in the dark hardwood floors, leather couches and antique chandeliers of the lobby. The nautical theme is enhanced with brass fixtures and rich millwork. The exterior of the stately Yacht Club is of gray and white clapboard. The East Coast seaside theme is prominent in this area with a lighthouse at the end of the Yacht and Beach Club dock and the Boardwalk that circles Crescent Lake.

Yacht Club Review— May 2nd, 2012
Pete Werner, Walter Echols and Dustin West have their review of Disney's Yacht Club Resort.
There are 20 suites and 71 concierge suites for those who prefer a little luxury with their vacation. Some of the suites include a lavishly furnished sitting room area and separate bedroom with a king sized bed. The large bathroom includes a hot tub, a vanity area, a television and a walk-in shower.
Concierge suites are all located on the fifth floor, which is only accessible with a private key-card. The regular concierge suite is very much like a regular guest room with respect to size and furnishings. But concierge amenities include television speakers in the bathroom, robes, a hairdryer, makeup mirror, and a nightly deluxe turndown service. Concierge service includes use of the concierge lounge and concierge staff for private check-in and check-out, to make dining Priority Seatings, plan outings, answering questions, ticket purchases, transportation arrangements, and filling requests for special dining or accommodation needs. The concierge lounge is also found on the fifth floor. Here you'll find a complimentary continental breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. From 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., you can watch a Disney video and munch on cookies and milk. A wine and cheese bar is available between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. And from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., cordials and delicious desserts are here to tempt you.
Murphy Rooms: "Murphy" or "King Standard" rooms include a king sized bed that could fold up into the wall. A small sitting area has a love seat and coffee table, a small table with 2 chairs, sink, counter top and a double sink inside a full bathroom. While the room is smaller than the regular rooms, it is offered at a slightly lower nightly rate and is suitable for two adults. Resort guests have three views available to them at the Yacht Club. The Standard view of some of the guest rooms, is that of the parking lot or wooded areas around the resort. The Garden view is available for concierge level rooms and overlooks nicely landscaped areas such as the quiet pool or the wedding gazebo. Regular guest rooms or concierge level rooms can choose a water view of Crescent Lake. Be aware that in the regular rooms, this water view may not be a direct view. Check-in time at the Yacht Club is 3 p.m. and check-out is 11 a.m.
- Yacht Club Menus:
- Ale and Compass Lounge
- Beaches and Cream
- Crew's Cup Lounge
- Hurricane Hanna's Grille
- Captain's Grille
- Yachtsman Steakhouse
As is the case with the Beach Club, the Yacht Club has the luxury of a large variety of dining options within close proximity. Fine dining is offered at the restaurants at the Boardwalk Resorts, Swan and Dolphin hotels, and Beach Club, as well as Epcot's World Showcase restaurants. The Yacht Club has 2 excellent restaurants of its own in the Captain's Grille and the Yachtsman Steakhouse. As expected, a yachting theme is prominent in the Captain's Grille with models of yachts and brightly colored tabletops.
Captain's Grille
Formerly the Yacht Club Galley. The nautical colors in this restaurant add charm to its New England style. It is open for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is served from 7:00 a.m. to 11 a.m. From 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., lunch is offered. New England Clam Chowder, Black Bay Crab Cakes, a multitude of salads, and hot and cold sandwiches are available in addition to pasta, ribs, chicken, fish, steak and the catch of the day. Click Here for the menu.
The elegant Yachtsman Steakhouse is the Yacht Club's signature restaurant and is a steak-lover's delight. Open only for dinner, the Yachtsman Steakhouse serves from 5:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. A glassed-in kitchen allows guests to watch their entrees being prepared. The House Specialties include prime cuts of aged beef such as Prime Rib, Filet Mignon, Porterhouse steak, and Chateaubriand for two. Chicken, chops, lobster, tuna, and mahi mahi are offered as well. Click Here for the menu.
Room service is available 24 hours a day and an extensive menu is offered for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including specialty pizzas, and fruit, vegetable, cheese or nacho platters for late night snacks.
Yacht Club Resort Pools/RecreationThe Yacht Club shares the best pool complex on property with the Beach Club, Stormalong Bay. This is like a mini-water park and there are many areas to explore. The waterslide is housed in a shipwreck and empties out into the larger pool area. There is an area with pulsating water jets and a lazy river where you can float along the current in inner tubes. One of the most unique features of Stormalong Bay is the sandy bottom of the pool. There are several secluded spas around the complex as well as a kiddie pool complete with a mini-water slide. The popularity of Stormalong Bay with non-resort guests prompted Disney to surround the complex with a fence that is guarded by Cast Members checking resort IDs. Only Yacht and Beach Club guests and DVC members can use Stormalong Bay. A small beach shack rents tubes and pool noodles and distributes pool towels.
There is also a quiet pool at the far end of the resort near the Dolphin and pool towels are available here too. There is a sandy beach on Crescent Lake, but swimming is not allowed.
If swimming isn't the only "water sport" on your agenda, you can rent water mice, sailboats, pontoon boats, canopy boats, hydra-bikes or pedal boats or book a fishing excursion.
The Ship Shape Health Club offers a more physical workout alternative. Guests pay to use the latest in fitness equipment such as Lifecircuit, Nautilus, Lifestep, Lifecycle, Liferower, Gravitron, Nordic Track, Stair Master, treadmill, free weights, steam room, sauna, whirlpool or massage.
Picturesque Crescent Lake and the area resorts provide the backdrop for those who prefer a jog around the 2.5 mile Boardwalk promenade. If tennis is your game, two lighted tennis courts are offered along with complimentary equipment for those guests in need. If after all of this you still have time on your hands, play beach volleyball, lawn bowling , croquet or play in the Lafferty Place Arcade.
- Babysitting/Childcare Services: The Sandcastle Club is open from 5 p.m. to midnight, and offers entertainment, dining and fun for children aged 4 to 12.

Yacht Club Resort TransportationLike the Beach Club, the Yacht Club has the distinct advantage of its close proximity to Epcot. A short five to ten minute walk is all that it takes to get to the International Gateway entrance of the World Showcase at Epcot. For guests who arrive at this entrance prior to the World Showcase "official" opening time of 11:00 a.m., there will be Cast Members to escort guests to Future World. Buses and Friendship launches will take guests to other WDW destinations.
Magic Kingdom: Take the bus from the front of the resort. Bus service is shared by the Beach Club, and Boardwalk Resorts as well. A leisurely, but more scenic, alternative is to walk through Epcot and take the Monorail to the TTC (don't forget to ask the attending Cast Member if you can sit up front with the driver) and switch to the Magic Kingdom Monorail from the TTC.
Epcot: If it's too hot to walk or if you simply want to conserve your energy, take the Friendship boat launch. But take note that the launch also stops at the Swan/Dolphin and the Boardwalk Resorts docks so the trip to Epcot could take up to 20 minutes.
Disney's Hollywood Studios: Take a separate Friendship launch. As with the Epcot launch, service is shared with the other Crescent Lake resorts. Once again, this trip can take up to 20 minutes.
Animal Kingdom/Blizzard Beach: Buses will transport guests to these parks. However in addition to the Y & BC guests, the bus also makes stops at the Boardwalk and Swan/Dolphin hotels.
Downtown Disney Marketplace, Downtown Disney West Side, Pleasure Island, and Typhoon Lagoon: The buses marked "Downtown Disney" will take you there. For those wishing to go anywhere else on (or off) property, Bell Services can get a taxi for you.
For groups requiring meeting facilities, the Yacht and Beach Club offers a 52,000 square foot convention center with a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system. The Harbour Ballroom is over 36,000 square feet and can accommodate 2,800 guests. With 21 breakout rooms, a business center, satellite up/down link capabilities, vast exhibit capabilities, and comprehensive meeting support, the Yacht and Beach Club conference facility is a very attractive location for businesses. Custom-made merchandise can be ordered for conferences and/or meetings held in WDW Resorts. For more information on this, call the Specialty Merchandising Department at (407)363-6433.

Located midship on Lower Promenade Deck, classic elegance awaits you at your reservations-only table complete with Frette linens, Bvlgari Rosenthal china, and Reidel stemware. Your wine list on the Eurodam's Pinnacle Grill is the best to be found on your cruise! Dungeness crab, Seared Duck Breast, Smoked Salmon and main entrees including Sterling Silver Beef, King Salmon, lamb, and chicken are expertly prepared for you. There are delectable vegetarian selections, but if you're a steak lover, you've also come to the best place on your cruise! Here you'll find the best of the Pacific Northwest for your dining pleasure, and for your wine palate. Baked Alaska, Grand Marnier Chocolate Volcano, and other delectable dessert choices satisfy any gourmet sweet tooth! Advanced reservations are required. It is best to book prior to boarding your cruise, or, as soon as you get onboard the Eurodam -- the Pinnacle Grill is very popular and will sell-out on many evenings.
One innovation in the design of the Eurodam is the location of Tamarind, an Asian fusion restaurant. Up on Observation Deck, be prepared for wonderful views, excellent food, and superb service. While lunch is free, reservation dinner options include Tai beef salad, Nigiri Salmon, Satay, Sushi, and Sashimi. Water (fish), Wood (food served on wood), Earth (vegie choices), and Fire (hot and spicy selections), are brought to you with sides such as sake braised oyster and shitake mushrooms. Specialty ice cream dishes and Ginger Banana Bread Pudding are examples of desserts. For a slightly higher per person cost, enjoy the Tamarind Rijsttafel which is the Dutch adaptation of Indonesian rice dishes. Red Snapper in Banana Leaves, Satay choices, steamed vegetables and fried tofu with peanut sauce, and various beef, chicken, duck and lamb are prepared for you via Master Chef Rudi Sodamin.
From 5:30 to 9:30pm, Canaletto onboard the Eurodam is a little bit of Italy tucked away on Lido deck. Angel Hair with Scallops, Butternut Squash and Asparagus Risotto, and Toscana Flank Steak are among the classic Italian dishes served here. Enjoy the tiramisu creations and gelato for dessert. Reviews for this restaurant are quite positive. Reservations are suggested for Canaletto.
"An Evening at Le Cirque" at the Pinnacle Grill, created by Holland America Master Chef Rudi Sodamin and Le Cirque's own Executive Chef Craig Hopson, is a highlight now featured on many Holland America Line cruises. Emphasis here is the fact that the Pinnacle typically offers this experience for one evening on your Holland America cruise.
Le Cirque, created by Sirio Maccioni in the early 1970's, is a family owned affair. Established in New York City, Le Cirque restaurants now include locations in Las Vegas and the Dominican Republic. A treat to the palate and the eye, Maccioni, his wife, and his sons, assure their guests the very finest of French gourmet dining! Recipient of the James Beard award, Le Cirque has maintained globally renowned status over the decades. Their lobster salad, soups including the Sweet Corn, and an array of main courses such as "Chicken Under a Brick" (of vegetables), Rack of Lamb, and Wild Halibut delightfully support Le Cirque's high status in the eyes of gourmands world-wide. Le Cirque's Chateaubriand is both delectable and generous in quantity. Leave room for their signature dessert, Creme Brulee Le Cirque. While Holland America dutifully recreates the Le Cirque atmosphere, restaurant aficionados will note the absence of some of the restaurants' whimsy in decor. The dining plates, however, include the French circus theme and your service is brought to you by those ever diligent Holland America staff in a manner true to Le Cirque expectations. Expect a 39 USD charge in addition to the Pinnacle's 25 USD, and you will need to make your reservations as early as you can for this "not to be missed" experience on your cruise. So far, the only regrets we've heard about are from those who did NOT book for an Evening at Le Cirque on their cruise!

Bizarre Cloud Formation or Religious Sign?
People are seeing something strange near the Westfield Galleria Mall in Roseville.
The mall itself is fine, recovering from the fire earlier this year. It's what's above the mall that is causing a stir.
A picture sent in to FOX40 shows a bizarre funnel cloud in the sky above the mall. We also had reports of sightings from Sacramento and South Sacramento.
So what caused it? Our weather guy and cloud-watcher Dennis Shanahan got some answers. Shanahan says it's a unique situation where the humidity and cloud deck level are just right. It's called "hole punch clouds" and according to the National Weather Service, these "holes" are caused when airplanes pass through the clouds and the surrounding area heats up ... that causes the relative humidity to drop and cause a hole to appear.
However, even the NWS admits Wednesday's phenomenon was unusual because at the time the object, most likely a plane, passed through the clouds to form the hole, there were secondary clouds forming underneath. This could be explained that as air passed over the wings of the plane it cooled, then dropped to a lower elevation and re-condensed into a cloud.
Some of us in the newsroom still say it was an act of a higher power.
Did you see it? Send us a picture at email@example.com © 2014, Hartford Courant

I read that fear is an emotional response induced by a perceived threat, which causes a change in brain and organ function, as well as in behavior. Fear can lead us to hide, to run away, or to freeze in our shoes. Fear may arise from a confrontation or from avoiding a threat, or it may come in the form of a discovery.
When I was younger, fear came in the form of a scary movie, like The Shining or Nightmare on Elm Street. A little bit later, the fright was whether or not I would get picked in the neighborhood basketball game, and a little bit after that it was which girl I should ask to the school dance. After that, dread was dealt in the form of finding a job after college, and then consternation came about keeping that same job.

text: Joshua McCoy voiced an interest in researching the Knights Templars: > So with me not knowing what to really ask my > self questions wise to help guide my own research leads me in to my > question that have for all of you. My question is, what question > do all of > have that I can use to guide my self in the research on The Nights > Templar > which will be used to wright my history book that will be published? I think you've already gotten a number of useful comments from folks about researching this particular subject. I think you do need to approach research more generally and not specifically to write a particular book on something. A book tends to be a small amount of the total knowledge someone has on a particular subject. By concentrating on getting info just to fill a book, you won't get the broad background you need to see how that subject fits in with the environment around it. Research a subject that interests you, for that reason alone. You may well find that some side subject that comes to you while searching the first, is really where your interests lie. If so, follow that. Why start looking to write a book from the first? Why not start with an article or two first? Or a paper to be entered in a local Arts and Sciences competition? I am not a professional editor. I'm an electronics engineer. However, I have edited a number of articles in the process of creating and managing the Florilegium. I won't guarantee that an article you write would be acceptable for the Florilegium, however if you are willing to write an article, and be willing to at least listen to my review and suggestions, I would be willing to work through multiple revisions with you. There are also writers groups that may be willing to work with you, although most of the ones I know of are oriented towards fictional works. In the meantime, perhaps these files in the INFO-SOURCES section of the Florilegium might be useful for you to read: Libry-Research-art (44K) 12/ 3/03 "Historical Research in the Modern Library" by Pani Jadwiga Zajaczkowa. http://www.florilegium.org/files/INFO-SOURCES/Libry-Research-art.html Using-ILL-art (8K) 11/09/03 "Interlibrary Loan" by Aelfwynn of Whitby http://www.florilegium.org/files/INFO-SOURCES/Using-ILL-art.html Stefan And Joshua, your spelling seems to be better than in your first messages. It is something that you can work on and improve. Back in elementary or middle school, I made only a 40 percentile grade in spelling on one of my achievement tests. You may note that my spelling is better than that now, although I do still make mistakes. However, now I am often the one correcting others spelling mistakes in messages and articles before they get into the Florilegium. Not always though, because of time constraints. :-( But anyway, if you wish to, you too can overcome this problem. -------- THLord Stefan li Rous Barony of Bryn Gwlad Kingdom of Ansteorra Mark S.

More and more "subway acrobats" are flipping and spinning their way into handcuffs.
The New York City Police Department is cracking down on performers who take over subway cars for their shows and sometimes ask for money.
Police say 182 people have been arrested for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct related to acrobatics as of last Sunday.
Fewer than 40 arrests were made during the same time period in 2013.
Some acrobats say they are just out to entertain and make a living.
While no injuries have been reported, Police Commissioner William Bratton and some straphangers said safety is a concern.
"That behavior's not appropriate on a subway car," Bratton said. "It's very dangerous both to the acrobats themselves as well as to the riding public."
"I think it's pretty crazy that they do it because I think it makes everyone else uncomfortable," said one subway rider.
"I like to try to rest and relax and not worry about people falling on top of me," said another.
Bratton said the crackdown is part of an effort to go after minor offenses as a way to prevent major crimes.

Corrugated cardboard, the Plain Jane of industrial packaging materials, is elevated to high art through the work of Slovenian sculptor Tobias Putrih and the New York-based architecture firm Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis. Durable, recyclable, and cheap, this underloved material is celebrated for its structural possibilities in Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis' Ini Ani coffee shop, as the lowly "java jacket" is transformed into a sturdy and attractive wall treatment. Putrih, however, explores the surprisingly ephemeral and light-transmitting qualities of the material in tall, organic sculptures composed of stacked laser-cut cardboard sheets currently on view at the Max Protetch Gallery in New York City.
