Walking the streets of Harlem these days is alternately exhilarating and perplexing. Some, like Striver's Row, are long stretches of stately, well-preserved town houses. On other streets, renovations stand cheek-to-cheek with smoke-stained shells that gape open to the sky, monuments to cycles of poverty and prosperity, renewal and decay. We felt we needed someone to animate the silent façades, so we booked an appointment with Michael Henry Adams.
Adams is Harlem's most prominent tour guide and the author of z a lavish illustrated time line of the neighborhood seen through its architecture, in which he makes a compelling case for preserving buildings—such as the Audubon Theatre & Ballroom, where Malcolm X was assassinated, and the legendary jazz club, Minton's Playhouse—that convey the richness of Harlem's past. In his bowler hat, fox-fur collar, and chesterfield coat, Adams looks as though he just stepped out of a James Van Der Zee photo. He has made himself visible in other ways, too: he's chained himself to the doors of the Landmark Preservation Commission to protest its inaction in upper Manhattan, and his activism often puts him at odds with community groups such as the Abyssinian Development Corporation, whose well-intentioned projects have occasionally required tearing down historically significant buildings. The scale of Central Harlem is grand but its residential heart is that of a small town. Adams is the town's self-appointed mayor, the curator of its intertwined social and architectural history.
Mount Morris Park
We'd asked Adams to show us around his neighborhood, the Mount Morris Park Historic District (part of Central Harlem). Our tour began at Bayou, a Creole restaurant that is to Harlem what Michael's is to midtown Manhattan and the Ivy is to Hollywood—movers and shakers (this is practically the Clinton staff cafeteria) lunch here. The handsome second-floor room has a pressed-tin ceiling and pendulous glass lamps that cast a soothing yellow glow. As we were shown to a table next to the broad window, which overlooks 125th and Malcolm X, a young woman we later learned was Sheena Wright, the new CEO of the Abyssinian Development Corporation, spotted Adams.
"Let's work together," she said to Adams. "I know we can do it."
"I hope so," Adams replied, sounding less than convinced.
After a bowl of dark turtle soup and crawfish étouffée, we set out toward 125th Street. Adams knocked on the door of a friend, Rod Keenan, a young milliner, and Keenan invited us in and showed off the recent restoration of the stone house where he lives and—in his immaculate basement studio—designs hats for stars like Wyclef Jean, Alicia Keys, and Brad Pitt. (The rest of us can find his creations at stores such as Barneys New York.) Then we strolled 122nd Street, our necks craned skyward, to take in the delicate ornamentation on a stretch of neo-Gothic houses built in 1887 by Francis Kimball, the designer of the mansion that now houses the Ralph Lauren store on Madison Avenue. We crossed the street to study a series of gargoyles—more Jerry Garcia than Medusa—carved in relief. Adams noted that the speculative market at the turn of the century was so brisk that builders didn't wait for the best artisan to come along; they took what they could get. So the quality of ornamentation varies greatly, even on a single building.
Walking in Harlem you are continuously enthralled by the details, but it helped to have Adams there, telling us the history of the neighborhood's former tenants. On 119th Street, we admired the houses that once belonged to Langston Hughes, Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers. On 120th, steps away from Mount Morris Park, we passed the brownstone that Maya Angelou had recently bought to restore, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's house. Just down the block was the birthplace of New York Times don Arthur Ochs "Punch" Sulzberger. This last house was nearing the end of a refurbishment, and Adams climbed the stairs and knocked on the door. When there was no answer, Adams entered, and it was as though we'd time-warped across a hundred years. Inside the 1880's frame was a lofty, contemporary space of poured concrete and stainless steel, more van der Rohe than Van Der Zee. Such renovations have made property values in the Mount Morris Park Historic District skyrocket. The landlord is selling the brownstone in which Adams lives, and he will be forced to move.
"The dreams we dreamed for Harlem yesterday are coming true today," Adams said. "The question is: Am I going to be here to enjoy them?"

So I am going ahead and replacing a condenser and a coil, and my furnace is about 20 years old but still working fine. Should I bite the bullet and do the furnace as well, or save a few grand and hold off on doing the furnace until I have to? I have posted before, this property is a rental likely to be sold within a few years. Will I get hit on home inspection bc of a 25 year old furnace and should I just go ahead and do it now? Will a furnace put in well today basically still be new in 5 years? Is there labor cost synergy substantial enough to merit me paying that money out now? Thanks |

kid first it would be best for you and forum members to keep all your posts in the original thread rather than multiple threads. one can have simple repairs to a furnace this age. the major problems would be a cracked heat exchanger and a blown blower motor. this would make a repair to a furnace this age not cost effective. I prefer a matched system. you are btm fishing since this is a rental unit. I don't care for either the Lennox or Rheem furnace quoted. You could do better but I understand the choice since it is rental. If money is not an issue, then I would go on and replace the furnace due to its age and just be done with it. You do want to properly weigh all warranty differences. You will get a better overall price now replacing everything now rather than wait and replace an old furnace at a later date. There is little to no value on old furnaces whether one yr old or five yr old. If your existing furnace was 10 yrs old or less with a problem free history, I would not replace it. A 20+ yr old furnace is an entirely different matter. make certain you qualify the dealers providing quotes. IMO |
Thanks again tiger, will keep posts consolidated. You dont like the furnaces for what reasons, realiability, efficiency, what? The Lennox dealer, although I am not thrilled with the brand, came highly recommended and has the service contract for the common area HVAC system and has done several of the neighbors units. I have checked his references and BBB. Are these warranties usually transferrable? Thanks |

Hitting in Colorado is no good for a player's perception. Some fans feel Colorado is such a hitter's paradise that any big leaguer worth his salt must put up huge, crooked numbers there. Doesn't matter the talent of the player, the thin air does all the work.
As such, players like Matt Holliday are unfairly maligned as home park mirages…right up until the moment that they move into more hitter-neutral environments and resume putting up the same numbers as they did in the Mile High City.
Carlos Gonzalez was once traded for Matt Holliday, and now occupies the same space in the minds of many fans – CarGo is good but he's only "Coors Field good". Take him away and the strikeouts would climb as the other offensive numbers suffers, seems to be the knock. It isn't fair to penalize Gonzalez for his home park, though it absolutely influences his performance at the plate.
More than just thin air is working in the Rockies outfielder's favor in 2013 – he's off to the best start of his career, leading the National League in home runs with 21 while walking at a career high rate. Getting Blanked spoke with Gonzalez about learning from the best, getting better with age and managing mom's expectations.

Now that the holiday season is around the corner, are you ready to handle various situations that can be potentially challenging? When you suffer from numerous food allergies it can be difficult to make the typical holiday favorites let alone prevent yourself from cross-contamination at friend's houses. The holiday season is supposed to be a joyous time with friends and family but it can also be a nightmare if you're not prepared. Thanksgiving is a little more than three weeks away, YES 3 WEEKS and it's not too early to start planning ahead. Here are some simple tips that can help you with preparation….
- Don't panic
- Start researching various blog sites for your typical holiday favorites
- If you suffer from multiple food allergies contact them about substitutions
- Invite friends over to prevent cross-contamination issues.
- Make some of the side dishes ahead of time to perfect the recipe and make changes as necessary.
If you plan on attending a friend's house for the holidays, ask them if you can bring some of your own dishes as chances are they will not be able to cook for you. Remember even though a lot of holiday dishes can be gluten-free it doesn't mean that your friend's cookware and preparation is good enough to prevent you from getting sick. I know the simple thing to do is say you're going to eat ahead of time and even though that might be the safest thing, it's not necessary and can be prevented if you can bring some of your own dishes. Personally, I think the best option is hosting if you're willing to do it. Last year over Christmas I had about twelve people over and only half of them had food allergies. It went over extremely well, everyone enjoyed the traditional dishes and most importantly nobody got sick. This was during my 180 day elimination diet so I was required to make everything gluten, dairy, soy, egg and corn-free. I reached out to several different gluten-free bloggers and made a few dishes ahead of time to test them. We made turkey, stuffing, sweet potato mash as well as other holiday favorites and everyone was satisfied. The best part of it all was when my friends that don't have any food allergies said they couldn't taste the difference!!!
Remember the holidays are meant to be a joyous time and I can guarantee that if you follow those simple steps you should have no fears heading into the holiday season. So remember don't delay, prepare now and let's start enjoying what I think is the best time of year!
Stay Healthy!!

a 30ish man gave me his phone #. i'm 56! what do i do?
okay, you have to understand that not only am i 56, i'm also undergoing radiation therapy for my benign brain tumor, george. so everything yucky that can be exacerbated by tumor treatment has been: acne, rosacea, dandruff, body pain, etc. plus i've gained 15 lbs from my bipolar 2 meds and don't see an end in sight, but what i was not factoring in is that Baby's Really got Back now.
i have to go to the pharmacy because portland, oregon fucking sucks and there is no delivery here, except pizza. in so. this was not true, but this is part of an i hate portland rant for another time. so i decide to bundle my errands given my depleted state, and i go to the library where 3 books are being held and, finally and thankfully, arte lange's Too Fat To Fish is mine!! yes, i'm part idiot. so sue me.
next stop is the gas station. something was blinking furiously on my dashboard, and i was completely terrified because i feared it was something expensive, and i am very low income and extremely dependent on my aged automobile Arianne. so i had stopped by said station and the lovely young man there had told me it was just the radiator needing more anti-freeze. whew and thank you so much. now i had the liquid but it came in an enormous container and i couldn't lift it to pour it into the radiator.
hence, the second station stop. the young man spotted me immediately even though i didn't pull into a pump but over to the side. he came right over, ignoring someone waiting for gas. i told him about the huge bottle and he immediately opened the, shit, this is what i hate about having a brain tumor, thing that covers the front of the car and poured in the anti-freeze. we chatted a little bit about tv and how we both loved all the Law and Order shows and he, out of the blue, said let me give you my number, then rushed to get it and give it to me.
i was so flumoxed, is that a word?, that i muttered, i have a brain tumor and i'm in radiation therapy, wanting to tell him without telling him that i have no libido whatsoever. he shrugged and said okay, and i drove off.
now, not only could i have given birth to this guy, see my rules in "Losing my Looks/I was a 'ho, parts one and two, but the only thing we had in common was a law and order jones. he is very cute, of course, and only a little bit gangsta with Phat Farm jeans that are a bit baggy but no underwear showing that i could see. i asked him about apple jeans to show that i was a little bit hip and in the know. sad, i know.
I've been a widow now for at least 5 years -- i think. i'm very very bad with time these days. and i have only had two horrific online originated dates since them. plus i experience what many older gals do, which is that i'm pretty much invisible, except for my wonderpups, ella mae fitzgerald and cocoa chanel, who are the main attraction. so the idea that someone male, anyone, male could be drawn to me really freaked me out.
What the hell do i do, folks? does this guy want to be friends or is this a booty call thing or is it a dating type thing? i'm completely socially inept now, my brain being differently abled and my having had a great marriage and no desires at all, given the ssri's and the radio treatments. god, i wish so much that i could transport myself back to my days of being a 'ho in hell lay and then in my early 40s when my libido went into high gear from the hormone changes. it would all be so simple. coffee or dinner and then wild or not so wild sex, satisfying or not, depending on the guy's interest in all things oral. but i'm not in my 30s anymore so i have to work with the lack of sex drive and hope that maybe it can be rebooted when and if i meet the right person.
please help me here. do i call this guy? i'd love to have a male companion with whom to have a beer once in a while or walk the dogs or something else that is casual. wouldn't mind someone paying for dinner, but he works in a gas station and probably has as much money as i do, which is very much not much.
love love love and gratitude,
teddy/theo and the wonderpups
PS PLEASE RATE MY POST. no matter how sick i am, i'm still a big attention whore.
Personally I like the old old ones with a young Chris Noth . . . the latest ones with sexy Jesus (can't remember the actor's name -- he at one time played a sexy Jesus before he was the sexy but nuts brother on Six Feet Under).
Anyway, can it hurt to have someone to discuss TV with? He more than likely does care about your health and just might be a nice person to know.
I do understand what you are trying to say. I have not been back to find the engineering professor who flirted with me last month. I'm in recovery from radiation and many cancer drugs and just hate the way I look and am not comfortable flirting at all . . . hope to be some day.
thanks for the reassurance. maybe he is just a nice guy and just likes me. that would be perfect. i LOVE talking tv, being an addict and all. and, girl, go flirt with the freaking professor!!!! there is nothing to lose and flirting is good for the soul and heart.
love love love and gratitude and pm me please.
Then, you see what he says.
Good luck.
Enjoy this. Really.
Obviously this guy saw something in you that intrigued him. As the others have said, call him, take it casually, and see where it goes.
Go get some more gas there. See if he is friendly. You might suggest an email correspondence first. Get to know each other.
Do be careful of yourself. remember, he is a stranger however cute.
Life gives you fun.
It may simply be that he needs a friend and someone with whom he can discuss Law and Order. It could be something more. Either way, we're not talking marriage here. Just one little phone call and see what happens.
Have fun and let me know how it goes. I'm rooting for you. (rated_
"Fuck him hard and kick him to the curb."
there's really nothing i could add to that.
At 56, while still in pretty fine shape (really hard work---but more likely, good genes) I know the invisible feeling. I know the feeling when my smile no longer does that old, once counted on magic.
Kareem made me feel visible again---even if it was just for a second on a crowded Taerobics floor. What's the harm in meeting your young thing for coffee? No one says you have to stay for dessert.
and, yes, mah and o'stephanie, it is so fucking nice to be "seen" by a cute guys. will thank you all individually after a big big nap.
love love love and huge gratitude..
If your writing is at all indicative, you have a lot to offer - intelligence, wit, etc, etc.
As to the young man - you are getting way ahead of yourself. You know almost nothing about him except that he likes Law & Order. For all you know he is gay and looking for a big sister.
Call him. Watch some Law & Order. Share a beer. Hang out. Laugh a little.
Age is nothin' I say call him and let whatever is meant to happen, happen. You may have a real friend there and perhaps even more. You won't know if you don't call. :)
Good luck and you have to keep us posted!
Maybe garage guy is as lonely as you are-? Maybe just speaking with you about Law and Order reminded him, and he wanted to continue the conversation with someone as geeky tv as he is. Maybe, just maybe he prayed for Law and Order Goddess, and you showed up? Or, perhaps he just liked how your eyes lit up when you spoke :D. Either way, just have a beer and a dog walk with the guy. Maybe you have a new beer friend. Perhaps you have a new TV friend. Or, perhaps when you feel better, you have a new friends with benefits buddy......huhuhuhuh.....Just don't put any EXPECTATIONS on it, and see where Cupid goes.
love love love love and gratitude
Now, I have no illnesses that I am battling (touch wood). But one of my best friends and I (we're 10 years apart, she is 10 years older than me) often talk about how we now feel invisible to so many men our age. It seems that the single men our age are dating women who are 10 to 20 years younger. One male friend who so often goes through these crazy dramas with his girlfriends... well, no wonder. Those women are in their 20s. If he wants someone with more maturity, he should look for someone closer to his age (he's in his 40s). Same goes with several other single men I can think of. Anyhow, there are these off-putting yet subtle comments here and there we pick up on... women, as we age, are no longer considered sexy. Yet, the men are often looked at as distinguished and still 'possible material'. Yeah, huge stereotyping here.
I mean, I'm in good shape. I have young skin. Dye my hair (family trait, very early graying), although sometimes let it get out of hand in between. Petite. Fine facial features.
Pisses me off, too. But yeah, it might be nice to have male company as you walk your dogs.
If I were your brother I would check this guy out but good.
Except change out professor for gas station guy.
And woooooooooooooo for cute men noticing!
Good luck, sexy mamma!
I'm laughing at your response to his hitting on you: "Sorry, but I have a brain tumor." Bet he's never heard that one before!
1. That's what young people do now...they barely ever actually talk on the phone.
2. It's a much easier, more casual, and less intimidating form of communication. Plus you have as long as you like to think up something perfectly witty and breezy to say. No worrying about awkward pauses. Send him a funny hello and then see how he responds and where he takes it.
Younger men are the best!
Call him. I tend to be straightforward with the youngins, which totally disarms and charms them and gets the ball in my court. What I mean by that is, I'll say something like, "So, you asked me to call you. What's up?"
Simple, really. His answer will show you where to go. But before you call, make sure you know exactly where you're willing to take it.
Plus, it never hurts to take the flirting muscles out for a spin, now does it?
Anyway, rather than caling the guy, start buying your gas there and say Hi any time you see him. See if he makes conversation again. Maybe go for that coffee.
and I haven't even met that person ...
nothing much to add except "go for it"...worst case (other than the weird stalker thing) is he figures you could use a little manly assistance...
Great post!! Loved it and I hope you get feeling better. Now go get you some...LOL
Now, here's the important part, so pay really close attention: Once you're done reading, ask yourself "what would Artie do in this situation?" and then do the exact opposite.
what else can we "outsiders" looking in see?
I can see a woman, since 1997, has hated Oregon,
and for respectable (health and financial) reasons
she is required to hang out there for a while longer.
So while she continues to communicate outside
her own belt-way (which, accordingly, pushes inches still
from bipolar meds), any abrupt changes that shake her
day will continue to rise until the level of self-worth takes hold, and, ends in a rant regarding the same old states (health state, financial state, and current home state) . So long-term may be appropriate place to start before you answer the smaller questions like the one you pose.... for instance as you approach 60 you will have lived in Oregon for a quarter of your life. How will that make you feel if you havent moved before then? If you can appreciate still kicking in that land of soaked beauty, then maybe retro-analytically something will occur on your way back to this forum.
i cant respond individuallhy. it's too confusing for me. but i am blessed to have so many of my friends show up with great advice and humor and to see so many new people whom i would love to befriend and i hope have friended me.
i am thrilled that i keep receiving pms about how much i've helped people by putting all my shit out there, oversharing as i've come to do since the pups are service dogs and people ask me all the time what they are for and i'm honest because one of my missions is to educated about service dogs for invisible disabilities, including mental illnesses. so please do pm me if i make you feel less alone, because that is my other mission. to speak out for those who are not yet able to do so. shit, i sound so fucking preachy. sorry.
btw, for the person who wrote about oregon, not the point of the post, i've lived here since 2001, not 1997, and my illness and lack of money make it unlikely that i will move. i will continue to acclimate and if the clinical trial works, i may be less mentally addled sa well as physcially. there is always hope of some kind.
love love love and extreme gratitude -- i'm not going to fuck the man, no libido, but i will visit the gas station because i need gas and to converse a little more with the young one. and probably ask him to have coffee. in a way it's easy because if he's not into my wonderpups, that's it. they are my constant companions and life-savers, not to mention my interspecies family.
but i am so grateful for you liking my strange point of view. i've been told in many ways that i'm an acquired taste but whatever.
love love lov e
And I love catamite's comment. I just love it.
what fun! And I think it is great for you being up for something in spite of everything.
No matter what keep writing because you are good and we like to hear your voice. I too love that you name every thing!
Keep the light on so others can see.
Love to you all ways.
Remember, you are not going to have radiation forever. STELLA, get your groove back!!!!
Most of the time, age doesn't matter. It certainly doesn't to him ... but I'm sure there are times when my own personal insecurity about being so much older annoys the hell out of him!
We have a wonderful relationship, but yes, those younger, firmer bodies sometimes make me feel worried.
All relationships are difficult at some time or another; only you know if you can handle occasionally being mistaken for his mother... and yes, it has happened to me and I didn't like it one bit!
Totally not rated.
See what he has in mind, maybe he only wants to be a friend (lol); maybe he finds you attractive who knows? But it is good for your ego at this time regardless.
Loss of libido is something I have been through but it is back with a vengence (I'm 59 and now a widow) and looking at a very cute young stud may even kick start it.
So the worse that can happen is is says he is not interested the best ... you feel great!
Rated for your addiction to attention
love love love and immense gratitude for all of you. i won't be able to give individual resonses. never been this popular!! it really warms an irradiated girls's heart.
going to get gas today after a loooooooong nap and will report in if he's there.
Age means very little. Back when I was 19 (between HS and University) I was working fixing office equipment. I ended up dating many older women - I think the oldest was 45 at the time. Though, I wasn't doing the hitting - I was pretty bloody shy.
My advice, keep topping off the tank :-) If the chemistry continuous, try texting if you have "phone phears".
Then, coffee or tea. Quick and easy. See what happens.
Given the fact that he is male, chances are pretty good that physical intimacy is a significant motivation. Take it as a compliment. However, even we males truly enjoy a lively conversation, a warm hug and a good snog.
Oh - rated :-)

Zengin S, et al. – The study aims to examine the effect of a music intervention (MI) on stress hormones, physiologic parameters, pain, and anxiety state before and during port catheter placement procedures (PCPPs). During invasive medical procedures, MI significantly decreases stress hormone levels, physiological parameters, acute procedural pain and anxiety.
- The authors conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled study in 100 oncology patients, who were randomly assigned to an MI group (n=50) or a control group (n=50).
- The effects of music were assessed by determination of serum cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels, heart and respiratory rate (HR, RR) and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), on arrival in the surgical intervention room, as well as immediately prior to and immediately after the PCPP, in both groups.
- Furthermore, pain and anxiety levels were identified using visual analogue scale and state-trait anxiety inventory scales.
- On arrival, there were no differences between the patients in terms of serum cortisol and ACTH levels, HR, RR, SBP, DBP and anxiety levels.
- There were significant reductions in hormone levels (p<0.05 for all), HR (p<0.001), RR (p<0.001), SBP (p<0.05) and DBP (p<0.05), immediately prior to and immediately after the PCPP in participants in the MI group compared to those in the control group.
- Furthermore, music led to a significant reduction in pain (p<0.05) and anxiety scores (p<0.05) in the MI group compared to control group.

Fall 2014 Saturday Academy Courses
Do You Know Your Rights? The Constitution V. Civil Rights
Katie Fuller, Educator, New-York Historical Society
What do you know about your rights and civil liberties? Ever since the United States Constitution was written in 1787, our civil liberties have been questioned, weighed, evaluated, analyzed, and judged. The United States Constitution, a dynamic document, changes as our country changes. How do these changes affect you? This class will closely examine a number of Supreme Court cases, especially in connection with individual civil liberties, to better understand how different interpretations of the Bill of Rights have impact on the individual and on the State.
Witch-Hunts: An American Tradition Supported by our Constitution?
Katie Courtien, Educator, New-York Historical Society
Imagine your closest friends and neighbors accusing you of something you didn't do. They have no real evidence, yet a court of law actually believes them and the Constitution may even protect them instead of you! This class will explore "witch hunts" in America, focusing on the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 and the McCarthy Era of the 1950s. We will read actual court transcriptions from the 1600s, see videos of the McCarthy trials, experience what it was like to be on trial, and finally, the class will culminate in a study of more recent examples of witch-hunts, and a debate on how the Constitution might support or protect against their existence. Sign up… if you dare!
Constitutional Conundrums
Paul Swartz, Educator, New-York Historical Society
This class will explore some of the Constitution's most ambiguous and inscrutable language. What defines a well regulated militia, a natural born citizen, or a cruel and unusual punishment? Why do some key rights (a woman's right to choose, for instance), stem from a right to privacy that is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution? When and how did money become speech and corporations people? Together, we will look at the ways that the constitutional text gives rise to different, even opposite interpretations of our highest law. In this course we will look at historical and contemporary disputes over the meaning of various constitutional clauses. We will also do some interpreting and arguing of our own, as we engage in debates and draft model amendments
SAT Prep
Andrew Parrish, SAT Tutor & Educator, New-York Historical Society
History buffs are not always known for their math skills. Mathletes do not always become novelists. But the SAT will test your critical reading, writing and math skills, so you better be prepared. Join this class to work on all three and also learn some tips for taking the test. After taking two mandatory practice tests, students will leave the class prepared and confident for the exam. All students registered for these classes will also receive printed practice materials to use on their own as they prepare.
Students in the SAT class will be required to take two free practice SAT exams on the 1st and 6th days of the program, (Saturdays October 18 and November 22) from 1:30–5:30 pm, directly after their regular morning classes. Please save the dates and time!
*The SAT Prep classes are open only to students currently enrolled in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade. Students who register for the SAT Prep class must also register for a history class of their choosing. Requests to enroll only in SAT Prep will not be approved.
If you have questions regarding Saturday Academy, please contact us at email@example.com.

Despite public perception, most experienced architects I've talked with don't prefer the proverbial "blank slate" commission.
There's something different, or should be, about a house designed from the ground up as an escape from the routine and complexity of everyday life.
I've worked in magazine journalism for 25 years now. I was in my early 20s when I started, and so was nearly everyone else I worked with at the time.
Although I leave the decision making on awards to our independent jury of architects, I have to admit I always have a few personal favorites among their choices. One project in particular our judges singled out continues to resonate for me.
Our residential architect Design Awards program has grown stronger in quality and quantity every year. We started out nine years ago with a respectable 300 entries, and the number has climbed steadily ever since—until this year, when it made a big leap up.
Not long ago, I made my obligatory pilgrimage to the NAHB's International Builders' Show. I've been going to the trade show for about 16 years now—since it was the plain old Homebuilders' Show—so I've seen some trends come and go. And I've seen attendance steadily rise until, most recently and for...
My family thinks if the sun has set outside, then it's time to use every available watt to illuminate the interior of the house. I, on the other hand, believe ambient light inside the house should follow the circadian rhythm of the day.
It seems like everyone—novice and pro—became a real estate speculator during the housing boom. The go-go momentum inspired a number of residential architects to try their hand at investing as well. You might think this combination of enterprise and good taste would strike pay dirt in areas starved...

Who knew that insects could even be considered anything remotely close to sexy? Photographer Laurent Seroussi battles the stereotype that women hate insects by transforming them into real life creepy crawlies. She goes beyond the phrase, "facing your fear," by allowing these women to become what they presumably loathe.
In her series titled 'Insectes,' Seroussi transforms women into one of the most misunderstood and feared creatures out there: bugs. This photoshoot is incredibly artistic using the female frame to turn what people normally consider 'gross' into something beautiful.
The women are shown with all the details of their respective bugs: four legs, wings and antennas. It's actually enough to make you both cringe at the photo, get over its intricate bug detail, and realize how beautiful the women-bug creatures are.

Detroit Mayor Upset By Use Of Name In Campaign
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
(Detroit, MI) -- Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is asking a candidate running for Wayne County executive to stop using fliers with his name. Westland Mayor Bill Wild has been distributing fliers with Duggan's photo declaring that Wild would work with Duggan to turn around the county and Detroit. Although the literature doesn't say Duggan endorsed Wild, the Detroit mayor has reportedly taken offense. A spokesperson for Duggan says he feels the fliers are inappropriate. Duggan has announced his support for former Wayne County Sheriff and ex-Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans for the county executive seat.

Bedding & Bath
Garnet Hill Cotton Tufted Bath Rug
Heavy bath mat
First I ordered the lime, and decided that was much too bright. So then I ordered the wheat color and it appears much darker in person than on my screen, it's almost brown. I'm keeping it for now, but it also takes forever to dry which makes it an energy hog. I also felt it looked shaggy out of the dryer, not neat and tidy like my similar rugs that I already own. I think it's too heavy and would not recommend.
December 30, 2014
Soft and thick
This bath rug is sooo nice underfoot! It's thick and soft and a refreshing feeling this winter when you don't want your toes on cold tile. I bought a second one so that says something.
December 14, 2014
I have only washed these rugs twice according to instruction and the wheat border is now a completely different color - I am very disappointed in the quality and now have rugs that no longer match my bathroom!! Would not recommend!!
December 13, 2014
plush & absorbant
Received the orange mat with border... so luxurious and bright. Love, love, love it! This mat is large, just the right size stepping out of the bath. So soft beneath the feet. You can't go wrong with this one.
December 3, 2014
Soft and absorbent
I like these rugs so much that I just bought the replacements for the ones I had in the closet to replace the last ones. They are soft and once a week I just flip them over to the other side for another week. I do not like the kind that has rubber backing because that rubber comes off in the wash and really messes up the washer and dryer. I like these because the launder beautifully and I can get twice the use out of them before I wash them again. Love these!

Negative body image, self loathing, and the pain people feel because of it are at an all-time high. Most women (80-90%) and now many men, especially gay men, are consumed, obsessed, and battling their bodies over how they look and what is "wrong" with them. They tell themselves how; ugly, fat, disgusting, horrible, cellulite-ridden, wrinkled, miserable, acne-ridden, lazy, crazy, angry, and sad they are. People are more aware of their flaws then anything they may do well like: being productive, accomplishments, taking the first step, loving, and so on. The pain is progressive and gets worse as time goes on. Until you stop the madness.

As sobering as all this may seem, we to often forget to think about the future in the right way, in the here and now. Instead we dream of building our businesses, finding true love, traveling the world...all great thoughts in their own right. Ironically, not a one of those thoughts does us any good if our future isn't taken care of in the present moment. Now's the time, now's the place to step out, step up, and step into protecting yourself, your loved ones with some great insights around being legal in an LGBT world...and we're not talking about being of age.

Not everyone is meant to be a parent. Nor is everyone meant to be the parent of a LGBT child. However, there's something unique about those individuals who are LGBT and choose to be parents. It's a loving, desire against all odds, to push the societal boundaries, and claim your stake to make a difference in the world by being a parent. Whether you come into parenting naturally by "coming out of the closet" from a heterosexual marriage with kids, or make the committed decision to adopt or bring a child into the world through surrogacy, you have made a conscious choice to travel the road less travelled.
The other side of the coin are the parents whose children change their world as they knew it the moment that declare, "Oh by the way, I thought you'd want to know I'm gay/lesbian!" And, it usually doesn't happen that nonchalantly.
A compelling and thought provoking hour of candidly addressing the soulmates of grief and loss and how to move beyond "human suffering" in an authentic way. If you're embroiled beyond belief in a tragic loss, or find yourself constantly stepping into a grief stricken state due to a wound from the past, then you won't want to miss these tips and tools for embracing, "This is life, life happens this way – it's nudging you to look at different paths."

These and more answers when Christopher and his drag persona Poppy Fields take center stage in the studios of The Coming Out Lounge. Thought provoking, tender, hilarious, and real don't even touch the surface of what's in store.
Gay, straight,bi-sexual, transgender; the mixing bowl of finding love doesn't really change regardless of your sexual orientation...it's just the recipe varies slightly.

Straight to the point, on point, and with a little prod from the point of Cupid's Arrow, you're sure to get red hot tips on moving from the world of Mr. or Mrs. Right Now into happily ever after.
Who is GAIL and why do we care? She's a devious little resident that resides within each of us as we journey "out of the closet." In fact she resides within each of us each day of our lives, regardless of what we are doing...but it doesn't mean she has a lifetime lease.

Last time we went with our kids, in summer of '07, we took a backpack FULL of stuff (drinks, snacks, camera, sunblock, etc.) into all the parks. I also drank nothin' but free ice water, from any eatery we were close to at the time, in all the parks to save even more $.
As far as gettin' the backpack on attractions/rides most weren't a problem. Just don't forget to take it with you. Also, depending on how many or who is in your party, you can just leave it with someone that dosen't want to do that particular thing.
It worked great for us...!
We also all took turns carryin' the backpack...

Sara was born Sara Schlackman on January 26, 1979 in NYC to Joan (Rue) and Marc Schlackman.

While attending a party in New York, she met an agent who thought she was "kinda funny looking" and sent her on an audition. She won the role, and starred in her first acting part as Burt Lancaster's granddaughter in the movie Rocket Gibralter.
Throughout the 90s, Sara appeared on quite a few few tv shows, including a starring role in the show Grand (1990) and appearances in Phenom, Rosseane, and ER. The end of the 90s approaches, and we can find Sara on a recurring part on the WB's Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane as Breeney Kennedy, a wheel-chair bound student with a sour disposition towards others. In 1999 she starred in A Slipping Down Life along with Guy Pearce and Lili Taylor. The same year, she was also starring in the WB show Popular as Carmen Ferrera, an overweight teenager with dreams to be social equals with the cheerleaders.

Sara also starred in the tv sitcom "Less Than Perfect" from 2002-2006. The show also starred Andy Dick and Andrea Parker. Idiocracy was released in '06 starring Luke Wilson. Sara played the role (uncredited) of the Attorney General.
More recently, Sara has had a role on two episodes of Two and a Half Men as Roberta's pregnant daughter. She has also had a part on The Big Bang Theory as Leonard's girlfriend who ends up moving in and getting a bit too clingy. As of this writing, her latest tv appearance was in an episode of the TNT show Leverage.

Also to be released is a film titled For Christ's Sake, which also features Will Sasso.
