NEW YORK — Every day, throngs of riders stand on the edge of danger in the nation's busiest subway system, waiting on platforms with nothing between them and the tracks.
Dozens of subway and light rail systems around the world have safety barriers with sliding doors on their platforms, but the idea hasn't gotten traction in New York. Yet transit officials are giving it a new look after two people were pushed and a third fell to their deaths on the tracks since early December.
Safety doors would be expensive and difficult additions to the sprawling, 108-year-old subway system, but some people are urging the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to try it. A company has proposed to install the barriers for free in exchange for advertising revenue.
Being shoved or bumped onto the tracks is my biggest worry about New York, said Ed David, a cinematographer who last spring launched an online petition to install the devices after reading about a college student who was hurled onto the tracks and killed by a train amid a fight at a Brooklyn subway station.
I know that people like the roughness of New York subways, said David, but it's a horrible way to die, and it can be prevented.
About 140 people are hit by New York City subways per year, in situations such as accidental knocks and willful leaps. Fifty-five people died last year and 47 in 2011, according to the MTA.
The numbers are small compared to the 1.6 billion subway rides taken each year, and officials say a substantial proportion is suicides.
But two men were killed last month in a scenario out of an urban nightmare – each propelled into the path of an onrushing train by a mumbling stranger, in separate incidents. Then a stumbling woman fell onto the tracks and died when a train hit her early on New Year's Day.

Michigan medical discipline rises to a new high
Suspensions and revocations reached new highs among Michigan medical professionals in fiscal 2013, according to a report this month from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Bureau of Health Professions.
The report doesn't break out causes for discipline, but the trend appears related to a recent federal crackdown on fraudulent billing to Medicare and other health care insurers, which has landed dozens of doctors in court or in prison.
The federal Detroit Medicare Fraud Strike Force and a locally organized Health Care Fraud Unit of prosecutors together brought charges in fraud schemes billing more than $380 million to Medicare in 2013, more than double any previous year.
To improve coordination over fraud cases during the past year, LARA has increased communication with the health care fraud division of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit.
In fiscal 2013, the Bureau of Health Professions reported a total of 954 disciplinary actions against medical professionals, up 30 percent from the previous year's 735 actions and up 65 percent from a total of 577 actions in 2004.
Total disciplinary actions were more or less constant after 2004 until 2009, when the U.S. Department of Justice deployed the Detroit Medicare Fraud Strike Force from Washington to begin prosecuting health fraud cases here.
"We now get information when a person is indicted for health care fraud," said Carole Engle, director of LARA's Bureau of Health Care Services. "We are able to track the case when a conviction occurs and are ready" to take licensure action.
Testimony last year before the state Senate committee on Reforms, Restructuring and Reinventing uncovered several Michigan health practitioners who were in jail for fraud or other violations but still held state licenses, a spokesman for state Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker said.
Schuitmaker, R-Lawton, sits on the Senate committee. The names were passed on to LARA for investigation.
Deputy Director Stephen Gobbo of Health Care Services said sometimes the bureau appears to take a while imposing discipline because the agency has its own process to complete before taking action, and won't be notified until after the investigation is completed. Sometimes there is also a delay in reporting criminal prosecutions of a Michigan professional from other states, he said.
But Health Care Services has also taken several steps in the past year to improve lines of communication with federal and state law enforcement agencies, he said.

Not so. Reached Thursday, the magazine's editor, Frank Foer, said he e-mailed the profanity-laden illustration to some staffers and decided to nix Schumaker's work, not wanting to present something that was "unnecessarily antagonizing to readers." Meanwhile, Pinker's article "What the F***? Why We Curse" in the current edition, has a litany of eyebrow-raising curses and other offensive words. "We wanted to give the essay a chance," explained Foer, adding he would be happy to work with the illustrator again. — R.F.

Anyone with experience or opions on the fairly new 44 in aga dual fuel Legacy range. The information makes it look like a great way to get all the performance I want from a dual fuel with double ovens and save a couple of thousand dollars! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would make sure you see this in person. The ovens are small and not deep at all look from the side. The drawers seemed alittle flimsy to me. Gotta love the look and the colors though. |
I'll bump this up hoping some more opinions will be added. I, too, am looking for a new range, something that says WOW, but more importantly enables me to cook well for my family of 6. The pro ranges are nice for sure, but I really need 2 or more ovens, putting most of them out of my price range. I also want color. This range does look enticing...but we'd all love to hear from those of you who have one, or at least have considered one and seen it in person, which I haven't been able to do. Thanks in advance! |
I looked at the 36" in person and compared it (with a sleepy toddler so not very well) to the AGA 6-4. They weren't hooked up so I couldn't play with the gas. Appearance-wise, the legacy has it--the 6-4 has a control panel up front that just looks plasticky. (The 6-4 has a slightly nicer finish due to the enamel, and it comes in more colors.) Function-wise, the legacy has a bigger oven. Look up those stats and compare with your cookware--they both have dinky ovens! The burner layout on the 36" legacy was superior to the 6-4 (and I know you didn't even ask about it, but those were the two I was comparing). The 6-4 seemed to have them all scrunched closer together so you'd have to be using some mighty small pots to not have them collide. The spouse didn't like the towel(?) bars across the front. Especially on the Legacy, where they partially obscure the dials. No biggie. I figure the towel bars keep your belly from catching fire. I'll try to check them out again this weekend, because I'm not finding anything else that looks right. In other words, BUMP. |
Fori, you're input is very much appreciated and we are on the same wave length. After I posted my question I measured my favorite roaster, the one I would use to cook a turkey, and compared it to the specs of the ranges ovens. (the handles don't stick out so they're not a factor) You are right, even the largest oven on the 44" is still too small. In comparison, the roaster fits in my GE 30" oven with tons of room to spare. If you see them this weekend, please post with your additional impressions. |
An additional impression or two... This time we saw the 44" in brick red (previously was 36" in yellow). The spouse liked it this time. I liked it less--poop brown. If you go Legacy, be SURE you see this color in person! Yuck. Anyway, the grates are shiny enameled black. There's no way those things can stay pretty is there? We need a real owner to answer that. High gloss stove grates. Eek. The whole top of the range is glossy black. Gorgeous, but for how long? |
Fori, I guess I'm confused. I didn't think the Legacy came in yellow?? Brick, black, blue, cream and white were the only choices I was aware of. I actually have the brick which is much more red (maroon) than poop brown. Perhaps the lighing in the store is off? My grates are still shiny after 18 months of hard labor. I take no special care and slide cast iron, Le Creuset and stainless steel from burner to burner every day. Once a week I sling the grates into the sink for a soak and a scour. Not a mark on them. Worst them about the grates is they're heavy...very heavy. It would have been nice to have one extra inch on the main oven as I could have avoided buying new baking sheets and a new roaster. I was well aware of this going into the purchase however so I can't complain. I have a 5 member family that expects to eat and eat a lot 3x daily and regularly (weekly) host dinner for 18 with no trouble. Last Sunday, I served from the oven ....roast beef, turkey breast, macaroni and cheese, lasagna and rolls. From the stovetop came .... mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and asparagus. Everything came out at the same time and was delicious. |
You're right about the yellow--that was the 6-4 I'd looked at. The Legacy I'd seen previously was black. (They were next to each other.) The light may well have been bad in this second store. I was surprised because the brick looks so good in pictures. It wasn't a store that bothers to make things look nice. It looks like a scratch and dent shop, but not as nice. It's good to hear the grates hold up. They're so pretty it's hard to believe! Do you have the 44"? I don't mind the small ovens too much--more economical to use I think. Tell us more about your range, shroppie. It's just hard to believe that something so shiny can be practical! |
Yea! Something positive! I really WANT to like this range (I'm actually looking at it in cream since I have cream cabinets and a dark countertop). I don't think cavernous ovens are the answer to everything...its not a priority to me to bake 3 dozen cookies at once. HOWEVER, cooking lots a dishes often for a family of 6 is a priority, which means I need versatility and the ability to cook fairly large roasts, whole chickens, turkeys and 9 x 13 pans of lasagne. Also, as a practical matter, I'm curious as to which is more useful..the tall tower oven on the 36" with 4 racks and/or plate holder or the larger square'ish oven on the 44". Shroppie, does your tall oven fit a 9 x 13 pan on each rack? If so, that would be one rockin' oven. |
I have the 36" - I definitely would have gotten the 44" IF I had gained an extra inch in one of the ovens, but the extra warming oven and 2 same size ovens wasn't worth it to me. The tall oven does not fit a 9*13 pan. I'll cook a turkey + lasagna in the multifunction oven and a roast (or chicken) and 9*9 pans of other sides in the convection oven. Of course, there's also the broiler! |
Shroppie, Thank you for your input. I too want to like this range. I took my husband to see it yesterday and we are debating between this and the La Cornuefe'. One of my issues is the broiler in the 44' Have you used your broiler? I am not familair with using an open broiler and it looked small to me. |
I've used this broiler, but had never used a broiler prior so......I have nothing to compare it too. I don't broil meat (prefer to grill, even in winter) but use it all the time to toast buns and finish dishes. |
Shroppie, thanks for your real world input, it really helps. I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that the "specs" of ranges are meaningless because according to the 36" specs for the tall oven it is something like 9 1/2" wide by 15 1/4" deep...so you would THINK that this would accomodate a 9 x 13 pan. Nevertheless, if you are saying you can cook a turkey and a lasagne at the same time in the multi-mode oven, with sides in the small one, that is still pretty impressive. So what size pans fit in the side oven.. 9 x 9? Is there a convection fan that protrudes into the oven taking up space? So how is oven cleaning? I don't believe this is self-cleaning but I've read it has removable panels that you can throw in the dishwasher. Thanks again. |
Yep, the stated dimensions are off...or aren't intended to portray USABLE space (what the point then?). I do believe it is the convection fan that intrudes into the space. The usable space is about 13.5" deep and a little less than 10" wide. The problem with a 9*13 casserole dish is the little handles/tabs on each end. They boost the overall dimensions to almost 15 inches (see why I keep harping on just one more inch?) My quarter sheet pans which are 13" long with rolled edges fit fine. The Legacy is not self-cleaning. I'd always had a self-cleaning oven and admit that I do miss turning a dial and walking away. I clean my oven once a month and haven't had any difficulty. It's never been messy enough to remove the wall panels. I do remove the bottom panel (very easy to do) and clean it off in the sink. It cleans off very easily (fruit pie boil-overs, lasagna seepage, etc. I've never had to resort to using Easy-Off etc - just a quick swipe with a sponge or light scrub with the nylon scrubber. |
Thanks again Shroppie! This is all really valuable information. The cleaning sounds pretty manageble. Perhaps you are the only active member of this forum that actually owns one? Please keep adding as things come up. I have until summer to make my decision, so am still considering all options. Happy cooking! |
Hi, Yay! ome good info on the Aga legacy 44".. I posted back several months agao and kept looking - finally some comments from an owner. There is very little info on the web from current users. I also am vey seriously looking at this range and will probably buy it in next few weeks. I currently have a double viking - so i am used to at least one big cavernous oven.. but the price of ovens have gone up so much since I bought my viking for about 5500 8 years ago - they now approach 9500. This is for a second house (initially) so I don't want to fork out that kind of money - but want a double oven with more than 4 burners.. and I love the looks of the legacy also .. but also want to make sure its a qauality range ... Has anyone used all of the 7 fucntions of the multi-fucntion oven? do they work well? does it cook evenly??? I must say my Viking does not cook evenly! so any additonal comments would be appreciated .. |
Shroppie, thanks for sharing your valuable, practical "life with" view. I am moving my kitchen to a different room, so everything will be newly purchaced. We are on a tight budget, and this is my one big splurge. Do smaller ovens replace the small countertop toaster oven I use so often for two people. How fast does the oven pre-heat? Which of Legacy ovens work best for baking bread? And, has there been any problelm with relibility? Anyone need a repair? |

Yeah! Thanks for posting. This is great information. I am looking at a 36" Aga Legacy. I have an old house built in 1888, and I love the style of the Aga. But, I also like to cook lots- mostly stovetop. I like the 5 burner layout of the Aga with various sizes of burners/space (for Wok). I am also considering the new Kitchen Aide 36" (6 burner) with steam injection. I don't bake that much, but I hear it is also good for foul, shrimp w/ herbs etc. Kitchen aid ia bout 4759. Aga with cathedral glass door is about 4850. So, no much price difference. Any thoughts on the two options? Also, any ideas on a refrigerator to match syle somewhat? |

Hi Shroppie, I'm new here but I am looking at a Legacy 36 range for a house that we're designing and building. It's such a beautiful range... we're thinking of cobalt blue with cathedral door. Do you mind if I pick your brain a bit more? We were looking at one yesterday and had a couple of questions about the following: - The main (multifunction) oven seems like it might not be deep enough for a normal-sized pizza or baking stone (I think my baking stone I use for pizza is 16" across). Thanks so much for all your good information in this thread... it really helped a lot giving me a heads up on what to notice when I saw it in the showroom! |
A good friend has the Rangemaster 44 inch cooker that she ordered from England. It's a gorgeous blue and she loves it. She is a a great cook and has used it for about a year; nothing but praise for it. BUT the ovens are small so if baking a large pizza is on your agenda, it won't work. FWIW, she ordered hers from England and, including shipping, it came to about $3,000. The only caveat about doing it this way is that the clock is never right because it's on European electric. It looks magnificent in her early California kitchen with Talavera tiles. Kinda makes me wish for the red one... |
- Posted by blueskitten (My Page) on Tue, May 1, 07 at 18:10
Patti bee - do you know what company your friend used to order her range? The online stores I've seen that sell the Rangemaster only ship to UK. Is it the voltage difference that's making the clock wrong? Weird. Our local AGA dealer price for the one I want (blue, cathedral door) is $4750. With how the dollar has done against the UK pound in the past year I wonder what the current savings over that price would be. Good food for thought, thanks! |
blueskitten, I'll ask my friend for her UK source. I just remember that his name was Malcolm! |
blueskitten - Pizzas can be problematic! I did get rid of my pizza stone as it wouldn't fit. I now either make rectangular pizza - or order out ;-) DH loved my homemade pizza and I much prefer to order it, so I now either make rectangular pizza (very irregularly) or let my fingers do the walking (much more frequently, especially during baseball season) I don't know the largest size turkey that will fit. If it were up to me, I'd only cook turkey breasts, but my dad and father-in-law are dark meat hold-outs. I usually buy a 16-18 pound turkey and another breast and use both ovens (I can fit sides in as well) I never use the indoor rack. I thought it was a cool feature but just never used it. Took the rack out and it's sitting in a spare cabinet in case I ever change my mind. I have no problem with my doors and I have standard depth cabinets. My range does come to the edge of the cabinets though - sounds like the cabinets and range aren't lined up correctly in the showroom I use 1/4 commercial aluminum sheet pans (which are 9*13) in the side oven and 10*14 Doughmaker cookie sheets in the multifunction oven. Never has a problem with uneven cooking HTH! |
- Posted by blueskitten (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 07 at 13:34
Shroppie, Thanks so much, this really helps a lot! I was kind of expecting that the door rack wouldn't get much use, at least in my house. And I'm glad to know that the cookie sheets to have to be quite as ridiculously small as the manual suggests. My hubby and I are quite a pizza aficionados, and there isn't much delivery service where our house will be (fairly rural area). Definite food for thought, here... :) One other question, how much usable width and depth is there in the multifunction oven? Manufacturer spec says 17" w x 15.25" d, but I don't want to plan on that based on your description of how the tall oven is smaller than shown in the published specs. I've been perusing cooking.com to see what the $$ damage would be for me to get some cookware/bakeware that would fit. THANKS!!! |
- Posted by blueskitten (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 07 at 14:17
OOps, I meant to type that the cookie sheets *don't* have to be quite as ridiculously small. :P |
Yes, I think it's the voltage that makes the clock run out of kilter (electricity isn't my forte!). The website is listed below. My friend called Malcolm Ramsey and ordered through him with no problems. She purchased the Rangemaster Classic 110 dual fuel in blue (gorgeous!). There is info on the site about shipping but you'll get a bit more info from Malcolm. We're in California so her DH rented a truck with a lift and picked it up after it cleared customs. If you're further from a port, you probably need to make other arrangements at additional $$$. Let us know which method you decide on. HTH Patti |

Patti - Fortunately I'm the western washington so we've got ports up the wazoo around here. :) My only concern is the LP/electrical stuff, but with a good reference and the information on the website it looks like a pretty safe way to go. I'm interested in talking with Malcom. I've sent an inquiry to him and will see what he says. |
Marymoq....did you decide on a range? I am thinking about La Cornufe. |
- Posted by agaspecialist (My Page) on Wed, Jun 20, 07 at 12:19
There's a new model Legacy! It's stainless steel and really good looking. Also, if you're leaning toward white, there now is a full sized refrigerator and a dishwasher panel that match the white Legacys. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Aga
agaspecialist, Where can I find pics of the stainless AGA Legacy? Sure sounds interesting. Jenn |
Whew! Almost made a HUGE mistake! After months of dreaming and looking at the beautiful catalog pics, I finally got to see and feel a Legacy for myself. I already knew the ovens were small (and they are) what was totally dissappointing is how cheap it felt. The main oven door uses the same closing mechanism that my drier door has and is always getting repaired. The spiral door handles that look so amazing in the pics, wiggled and just felt cheap. The brick color was really unattractive. I was just stunned. I was so sure this was what I wanted, but I will not buy it now. Be sure you see this oven in person before you purchase. |
The multi-function oven in the Aga 36" Legacy range is small. Standard pans do not fit. I have one, and it has been very difficult to find pans that fit. There are NO large roasting pans big enough for a small turkey but small enough to fit in the oven on the market. Aga customer service is horrendous, and the pans that fit their regular ranges do not fit the Legacy. I love the way it looks in my vintage kitchen, but there are numerous problems. Do your research before you buy. |
Anyone else out there have a Legacy? Interested in the 44". Have seen it in person and love the look. Thanks. |

Although this is second-hand, my friend has an Aga Legacy 44" and she and her DH (who is an excellent chef) both rave about it. I am planning on the 36" in "vintage white" for my new kitchen, but I also plan to get a secondary wall oven to go under a counter for big items (like turkeys and XMas cookies). |
Anyone have more information on the AGA Legacy 44" Range? |
I have been enjoying my 36" duel fuel legacy for 4 months now. I have no complaints. I did tons of research before purchasing including reading this forum. My only complaint is cleaning the stove top. The black grates show every little thing and have to be removed (and they are heavy!), cleaned and completely dryed if you don't want to see all the streaks. My reason for posting this is to let you all know that I have found great success with using the 9x13 Calphalon brownie pan as cookie sheets. I use them in the tall oven for everything without a single problem. They fit perfect and leave a little extra room for air flow. |
- Posted by Chara(firstname.lastname@example.com) onMon, Dec 20, 10 at 10:47
I'm reading this forum a few years later and after buying a 36" Legacy. I love this stove but my husband is still going through post purchase regrets. (We've only had it a couple days). We haven't really had any problems with it yet but I wanted to thank those who suggested what pans to use! One question I have is whether the pans that are designed for the AGA cooker also fit the Legacy. Has anyone tried that yet? Thanks! |
- Posted by Chuck(email@example.com) onTue, Dec 28, 10 at 10:44
We've owned a 36 inch dual fuel Legacy for three years, so a few hopefully helpful hints follow. We carefully measured the multifuncton oven and bought an old Wear-Ever aluminum roaster on E-bay. Fits perfectly with the handles folded and works great, just like when my grandmother used one. We've done a 22 pound turkey and it came out perfectly. The convection oven cuts turkey time down to 10 mins per pound and browns perfectly - or you can use the roaster cover and steam the turkey. The Wear-Ever looks like it was designed to fit in the oven. Used a ceramic wet saw to cut down a pizza stone to fit the oven. Pyrex 9/13 baking dishes work well in the right oven, but they're just enough too long that they only fit on the middle racks. (Guess the door flexes in a little) Could be some other brands of 9x13 are slightly shorter and might work better. Our only real issue has been a tendancy for one of the stovetop burners to go out after a few minutes. We suspect this is a problem with the safety thermocouple, but have just lived without that eye. We're now arranging for repairs, but there are few repair shops in the Milwaukee area with Aga experience. A word of advice: don't buy these stoves by mail order. You want someone local in case you have problems. Anyone else had burner issues? |
An update. Almost four years later and I still love my AGA! Still complain about cleaning the top, but it is worth it. I did however share the same problem with the one burner going out. When I bought the stove, I also purchased a 4 year protection plan. They came out and replaced the whole line to that burner and haven't had a problem since. Love, Love, Love this stove and have no regrets. |

Purple I just purchased that Hemigraphis plant at HD this week. I am still looking at it to see if I really like its bumpy self. lol I put it in a mix pot of different purple plants. Have you had it long? I read it does not like to dry out and is really good in as a Terrarium plant. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Tue, Aug 20, 13 at 9:05
That particular plant is new this year but I had one with different colored leaves for years. It survived going in/out seasonally for a few years, a year in a dark-ish apartment, then a trip to AL (from OH) in the back of a moving truck, then I forgot to water it a few winters ago. It didn't survive that. If this one is like the other, it should make little white flowers over winter. I've never had a terrarium, so IDK about that. Don't think I ever even repotted that other one, bummer. FWIW, it's easy to propagate, just break off a piece and stick it in soil. Ignore it while it wilts (or take off more leaves than I do,) should take root. Doing during summer humidity is probably best. I'm not going to bother excavating the roots of this, just save a few pieces stuck in various pots. If you get around to it, I'd love to see that mixed purple planter! |
I will get a pic of it when it stops raining. It looks pretty sad because my main plant the "thriller" did not like being moved to so much light from the store to outside. I do thriller, filler, spiller setting up my pots. The sad looking moved plant is the Calathea with pink stripes that you posted in the pink topic. How it it doing for you since it looks like you have had it since March.? I just purchased it last month. When I brought it home and put it outside in the new pot the leaves went crispy and I did not even have it in the sun. It was probably in the dark inside at Home Depot so long that any light was hard to take. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Tue, Aug 20, 13 at 14:02
Love those Oxalis! I've had the Calathea since last fall sometime. T. spathacea is better from the bottom, IMO. I need to remember to put more of this in high-up hanging baskets. |

As my daughter used to say when she was 2, "I nee dat!" What kind of light do you put that in? Adjacent to Coleus, Plectranthus, and - Sedum? What's in the middle at the top - Aptenia? My plants want to get into your pots - you have the best collection of wild and pretty pots I've ever seen. Do you have people who look at a foliage-only display like this and say, "I love your flowers?" It happens to me all summer, people walking by. This year there are a lot more actual blooms, but people just can't say "I love your leaves" or "I love your foliage." I've gotten to the point where almost any flowers that don't serve hummingbirds or butterflies with nectar seem not worth the space and effort they take. Wish I'd understood Oxalis last time I had one in OH. It went dormant and I just kept watering it, no idea it was a bulb. Luckily they can stay in the ground here. Do you have any Oxalis crassipes with plain green leaves and masses of pink flowers? This little Kalanchoe pumila is the most purple succulent I have, I think. The Faucaria ("Jaws") above it literally melted into pudding from all of this rain/lack of sunshine. |
My friends recognize my plants and say I have to many. lol But mostly they walk around and say what is that, and what is this it is so pretty. I have so many they are just shocked and want to know the name. Not that they will remember or hunt it down like I do. I have it in full Sun with Kalanchoe and the common jade plants. If Tri-color Rio spathacea is in the shade it just does not come into its full color. You know my pots are mostly from the Thrift store or my daughter has given me for Birthdays, Mother's day presents, or I make them. I love pots and plants. The pot makes the plant and the plant makes the pot they go hand in hand. No I only have the purple oxlias because if it does not have a pretty leaf I do not bother growing the plant most of the time. I have very few plants for flowers only. Your succulents look great. I have had problems this year with all my plants with all the rain and no sun. Last year is was all sun and no rain. Maybe next year it will be a perfect year of equal sun and rain. I can hope. |

I like purple shamrocks so much I have two kinds! Oxalis triangularis, and Charmed Wine. Also Plectranthus and a Rex begonia that has purple-pink in the leaves. I like purple and varigated foliage, and admire lots of plants that I see in this forum, but some really want it to be warmer and more humid than I can provide. So I am happy to visit purple's porch and see marquest's pretty plants (and the cool planter!) |

Echeveria! It was light green, almost yellow, when I got it almost a year ago. Glad it looks like this now, purple is a much better shade for succulent leaves, to my eye. |

Kalanchoe pumila is turning more purple now that the sun is getting under the porch roof more/for longer. And next to it seemed like a good place for my piece of pumice. |

Senecio crassissimus (on the right, Aloe on the left,) has cool spots of purple where the petioles meet the stem, and on the leaf edges. Just got this particular plant, needs more sun to develop the purple around the leaf edges. |

Morning All, Purple leaves by Purple. :) Gesneriad Purple Heart, variegated T. Oyster Plant Purple Heart, non-variegated Oxalis Wandering Jew, stripe Purp, I adore Echs, but can't keep them. How's yours doing? Toni |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Sun, Nov 17, 13 at 13:11
TY, Toni. Fantastic plants!! I love them all! "Purple Heart, non-variegated " - are the flowers on this pink with white edges? What genus is the gesneriad? Toni, the Echeverias are OK. Bake in sun, water the day after I think they're totally dry. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Nov 17, 13 at 13:49
Hey Purp... It's weird here..temp is 67F. Tornado warnings. Like an idiot I place two Gardenias on the front porch. Regarding Purple Heart, non-variegated...I think flowers are all pink, w/o white edges..One time a stem broke so I placed it in a small glass with water. A flower opened..the flower looked more purple than pink. Maybe color depends on sunlight?? The ges in called Nautilocalyx...Not sure it's a Gesneriad, but according to the nursery, it is. Echeverias do well during summer, but once short, dark autumn comes along, they get spindly. Usually, the lower trunk isn't thick enough to hold the top, and before you know it, the entire plant is horizontal. Your Ech is very pretty though. I love its purple hues. |

Cordyline Tango - is that purple rather than deep red? |

Room too hot and air conditioning not functioning. Had to sleep with window open which was annoying due to very close proximity to motorway. Dinner was good but expensive. Seats and chairs in restaurant VERY uncomfortable.

ARTHUR APOSTOL FINED AND SUSPENDED BY FINRA FOR AFFIXING CUSTOMER SIGNATURES ONTO ACCOUNT DOCUMENTS 0 comments
Jul 10, 2013 10:09 AMArthur Apostol, a broker with Charlotte, North Carolina based LPL Financial LLC and East Hartford, Connecticut based First Niagara Securities, submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which Mr. Apostol consented to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's (FINRA) findings that while he was in the process of transferring his customers' accounts from his former member firm, New Haven, Connecticut based Newalliance Investments, Inc., to LPL Financial, he affixed customers' signatures onto new account forms by cutting and pasting their signatures from documents they had executed earlier. Mr. Apostol then submitted those forms to LPL Financial. FINRA's findings stated that the customers had authorized the opening of the accounts, but Mr. Apostol did not have their authorization or consent to affix their signatures to the forms. The findings also stated that on previous occasions, Mr. Apostol asked customers to sign blank forms for future use. Mr. Apostol, of Ashford, Connecticut, was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for three months. The fine must be paid either immediately upon Mr. Apostol's re-association with a FINRA member firm following his suspension, or prior to the filing of any application or request for relief from any statutory disqualification, whichever is earlier. Mr. Apostol's suspension is in effect from February 19, 2013, through May 18, 2013.

Just a quick bit of news concerning The Two Towers DVD. It appears that we might be seeing the release of the theatrical version a little earlier than last year with Fellowship of the Ring. Virgin Megastore are taking preorders for the disc and list the date of release as the 30th June. That would be well over a month earlier than before. We'll keep you posted. |
This seems to refer to the R2 release, but...who knows?
I was referred to this tidbit from www.theonering.net , where they imply that some online sites have listed the title for pre-order.
Seems a bit early, eh? (Not that I'd complain!)

You will perform with your teachers in a concert on the last day of camp.

Sample Report
Today, our crystal ball is the computer display screen, whether it be cathode ray or liquid crystal. A person who wants to gage the present and future of the international art world need look no further than Artnet.com's celebrated gallery district. This section of the site aggregates many of the world's best art galleries and much of the world's best new art. Go to the nav bar and click on "galleries." That gives you a list of some of the newer galleries on the site. A click on some of the category buttons to the left gives you longer lists of galleries, divided into "fine art" and "decorative arts and antiques." Here it is possible as well to access the database by exhibitions and by individual artists.
Look at the section devoted to new galleries. At the top of the list is Kaare Berntsen, Scandinavia's largest art and antiques dealer, which was founded in 1930 in Oslo and is now run by the son of the original owner. Online in the gallery's inventory catalogue are works by leading Scandanavian artists, including a 1923 painting of a dense oak forest by Edvard Munch, a work that is not so frequently seen but is nevertheless charged with the kind of psychological intensity we expect from the great Norwegian modernist. Berntsen, like many other galleries, maintains its own website (at www.kaare-berntsen.com) and also links to the central information clearinghouse that is Artnet.com.
The other new galleries on the list give a real sense of how international the internet, and the art business, has become. Reading down the list takes a viewer from Galerie Peter Borchardt in Hamburg, Germany, whose current show is "Modelle" by the Neo-Expressionist star Rainer Fetting, to Chapellier Fine Art, a gallery of American 19th- and 20th-century art that was originally founded in Belgium in 1916 and has been located in Chapel Hill, N.C., since 1994. (If you link to Borchardt's own site, at www.galerie-borchardt.de, you can take an extensive filmed tour of the works in the show via quicktime, a real novelty).
Still more galleries on the list circle the globe. They are in Boulder, Co. (Shankar Gallery), La Jolla, Ca. (Monroe Art Gallery), Hong Kong (Karin Weber Gallery and Teresa Coleman Fine Arts), Athens (Medusa Art Gallery), Venice (Galleria Traghetto), Berlin (Galerie Michael Schultz), Brussels (Gilot Fine Arts), South Nyack, N.Y. (Hudson River Editions) and New York City (Fenichell-Basmajian Antiques, Garner Tullis, Haim Chanin Fine Arts and Howard Greenberg Gallery).
By looking under "Gallery Exhibitions" ordered by opening date, a visitor can sample shows like Harry Potter looking into his divination ball to "unfog the future." For instance, check out Swiss artist Karim Noureldin's site-specific wall installation at Lucas Schoormans in Chelsea, dubbed "unknown zone." Noureldin, who was born in 1967, has been on a tear recently, making mural-sized drawings on the Kunsthalle Basel exterior, at Gallery Mark Mueller in Zürich and at the Cologne Art Fair.
The Alexander Gallery on East 57th Street has a show of early figurative paintings by Neil Welliver, a group of large-scale works from the 1960s and '70s that provided a vigorous painterly counterpart to all the "dematerialization" going on during the same period. These works are now brought together for the first time in many years in a show that is accompanied by a catalogue with essays by Frank Goodyear and Barry Schwabsky.
For lovers of Old Masters, there's the winter exhibition at Jack Kilgore & Co. at 154 East 71st Street in Manhattan, which is showing a selection of works, largely 17th-century Dutch and Flemish paintings, from Jan. 14-Feb. 8, 2002. The paintings pictured online range a rare still life done in the early 1630s by the Franco-German painter Sebastian Stoskopff, which shows a Nautilus and Panther shell and a chipboard box, to an Allegory of Faith painted by the Dutchman Mathias Stomer.
To see exhibitions that are currently opening, a visitor to the site can click on "events" in the top nav bar for a day-by-day index. The selection is remarkably large. New York artist Lane Twitchell opened a show of his colorful, cut-paper mandalas at Artemis Greenberg Van Doren on Jan. 9. E.E. Smith opened a show of her evocative, "oil print" photographs at Kim Foster on Jan. 10. The provocative African-American artist Glen Ligon opens a show of works based of children's coloring book drawings at Anthony Meier Fine Arts in San Francisco on Jan. 11. And Jenny Saville opens a show of her photographic self-portraits, done in collaboration with fashion photographer and filmmaker Glen Luchford, at Gagosian in Los Angeles on Jan. 12.
For Artnet.com's giant artist index, simply click on the "artists" button on the top nav bar. There, the wealth of the global art world in made abundantly clear. For instance, take the Philadelphia painter William Trost Richards (1822-1905), whose seascapes and landscapes are much in demand. On 11 pages of thumbnails are listed galleries like William Vareika Fine Arts and Roger King Gallery in Newport, R.I., Louis J. Dianni-Antique Marine Art in Fishkill, N.Y., the Surovek Gallery in Palm Beach and Kennedy Galleries, Mary Lublin Fine Arts, Kenneth Lux, Spanierman Gallery and Richard York in New York, plus several more, all brought together in one central, illustrated reference. Aren't computers grand?

Snubbed! Why I think the Jets were shut out for the Pro Bowl
Posted by Erik Manassy on Dec 28, 2013 in Main, Opinion, Player Tweets, Twitter | 1 comment
I'm starting to think that any all-star game in major sports is only a popularity contest (Actually I believed this from some time now). I know it sounds like I'm sore about no Jet getting into the 2013 Pro Bowl, but it's not so much that our Jets didn't get in but instead the other teams or players that don't even measure up to our guys' stats.
Mo Wilkerson and Nick Folk deserved and were absolutely snubbed to not be chosen this year, that's a fact. I wonder if they were snubbed because of the green they wear. Things that flow through my mind about this is, were they looked over because:
- The Jets were out of the playoffs. Cameron Wake of the Dolphins had lower numbers in sacks, tackles and INT yet he was chosen over Wilkerson. Is it because the Dolphins can still make the tournament? I want the Jets to ruin that parade this Sunday now more than ever!
- Was it because of the media bias? The Jets were overplayed, over-covered, and fatigue set in for the rest of the NFL fans. Look, other teams fans know when other teams' guys do well and yes they vote for them. I put JJ Watt into the Pro Bowl this year. Were people just sick of the Jets and did our guys fall victim to fatigue? If so that's a shame.
- The Cleveland Browns had 5 guys get elected this year. 5! The Jets were 7-8 when the voting came out, the browns were 4-11. Normally the teams that are dominating are because the players are dominating and getting them wins. This one baffles me. The Jets exceeded expectiations and have one of the best D-Line that Wilkerson leads!
- Cromartie selected as a 2nd alternate. Are we all watching the same games here? Cromartie is ranked 104th out of 110 corners by Pro Football Focus. He was ranked 16th using the same metrics in 2012. What am I missing here?
How is @mowilkerson not a Pro Bowler? I'm obviously biased but that makes no sense. Best guy on one of the best def fronts in NFL #norespect

Of these teams that had no players go, the Jets had the best record. The Bills, Browns, Texans, Raiders, Redskins, Bucs, , Vikings, had lower records than the Jets and sent players. Did I mention that the Browns sent 5?!?
Five teams had no Pro Bowl selections: Jets, Giants, Jaguars, Packers and Falcons

The Browns have 5???????? lol I don't think the Bucs had won a game when voting started did they??

Falls over on my cats
Best Uses
Comments about Wide Lean-it Scratch Post:
This product doesn't attach to anything. You just lean it against the wall. I thought that was great when I bought it but then realized how poorly this product was designed the minute my cats started using it. The cats pull the scratcher over and it falls on them if their claws get snagged, even just a little bit.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The long-awaited surveillance video in the assault trial of Sen. Hiram Monserrate has been released.
The long-awaited surveillance video in the assault trial of Sen. Hiram Monserrate has been released.
Ladies and Gentlemen, your Senate Democrat Conference.
Looks like we'll be having a special election.
One of the clips is very bad…he's pulling her like a rag doll. Now to blame her that she was drunk….come on….if it was an accident why didn't they call 911? He should resign.
Can you say double standard? This is one of the people charged with creating the laws that we are expected to follow. Yet day after day we see more and more how they do whatever they want whenever they want. I can only pray the voters ultimately decide his fate – GOOD RIDDENS!
Note to NBC: the preroll ad for Ketel One Vodka seems inappropriate.
I believe most people who work in the State Senate and Assembly are pathetic, self serving and corrupt but the ones that these New York minority districts are electing and sending up here are especially so. Pedro Espada, Hiram Monsserate, Ruben Diaz, Malcoom Smith, Carl Kruger, it's unbelievable to me that one person would cast a vote for any of you.
I especially liked the 1-minute vodka commercial before the video. Stay classy, NBC!
"I can only pray the voters ultimately decide his fate"
Well, it's gonna be up to a Jury first.
There should be no question. He needs to go. What a jerk.
Please resign immediately Hiram Monsserrate! You have disgraced yourself, your colleagues & every tax payer in the Empire State.
This is completely disgusting. And the fact that she is willing to commit perjury for him speaks to the fact that she fits into the battered woman profile. I'm glad he's leaving this up to a jury and that he didn't settle. They should throw his sorry you-know-what into jail! And now! Maybe he and Plaxico can become roomies…
Mike: Monserrate waived a jury trial. After his shenanigans with the Senate leadership battle this summer he basically screwed his chances of finding an unbiased jury.
You are all racist!
I believe he has elected to have a "bench trial"…thus no jury.
Although I think the Senators and Assmbly members are arrogant, spoiled, and out of touch with the general population, I do not think they are ALL corrupt. But, history has proven the statement that, "power corrupts….." Thus I think we should not elect incumbants.
Blago, what is rascist about any of the comments? If there was video of a caucasian senator roughing up his gf, it would still be disturbing and would be condemed.
NYC swine is NYC swine
It looks like she dropped the towel to leave behind some evidence, indicating she was in fear for her safety.
This incident occurred before Monseratte was ever sworn in as a senator.
Also, Dean Skelos danced with this devil in the pale moonlight after this incident occured.
Please keep these facts in mind before you go spouting off about how this is a "Democratic" problem.
Well, then metaphorically in the hands of a Jury.
scooter, do you know any state representatives? People have this sense that they are all lazy and corrupt, when a lot them could give a damn about being an Albany player and passing legislation.
True representatives REPRESENT their constituents, and they do it without pork. Pork helps but if it is used responsibly it serves a great purpose.
we cannot have an entirely new legislature each year, it would wreak havoc on the professional environment and support structure of the legislature. Policy does not form and reform every two years, it is developed over a period of time, and you need experienced and seasoned legislators that know the issues and the process.
The outrage should be over the current relationship between majority and minority resources, which causes far larger conflicts than ideological ones. This Senate fight was over resources, not the passage of gay marriage, or the Rockefeller drug laws, or housing policy, or anything else.
He'll get off easy!! the Dem's paid off only 1 Judge unstead of 12 "unbaised" jury members!! Makes me want to puke!!
Another DEM from Queens? If he had any decency he would have resigned before now.
Please explain, floydianslip why we, "need experienced and seasoned legislators that know the issues and the process", are they doing anything to insure either the issues or the "process" benefits the interestsof the people they reprsent?
These people are NOT elected to represent just the people thet voted for them, the idea is that they represent the realistic interests of ALL the people in their respective district. The notion that everyone who voted for a candidate is somehow right, and all those who may have voted against that candidate are automatically wrong is pure BS. Write this down, floydianslip, IF EXPENDITURES ARE REASONABLE AND NECESSARY – THEY'RE NOT PORK regardless of what they might pay for, where they are or who might benefit from them.
Of course that's considering the basic idea that all expenses are supposed to be reasonable and necessary, rather than budget votes being traded and exchanged for favors, winks and nods. What has all this grand legislative experience produced, aside from assuring continued arrogance, personal gain and loyalty to a political machine in far greater quantity than to the voters who elected them.
What we have now is all about patronage, pay back and back scratching that has produced precious little legislative answers to questions raised by constituents, rather than party interests and dictates.

Recent Aruba Reviews
A Quiet Gem
If big hotel zones, crowded beaches and pools, and lots of costly cab rides and restaurant meals are not your idea of a heavenly vacation, then you'll love this condo, as we did.
THE UNIT: Very modern, clean and comfy, with a kitchen for those who love to make their own healthy, wonderful meals. Read the listings - everything is accurate. It also has a small laundry room with a washer. The whole place is lovely and well maintained. While there is no Office, per se, the concierge is always available by cell phone or in person overseeing the units and grounds throughout the day. The owner keeps in contact by email and is always accessible. They are very kind, attentive and helpful. If you know even a little Spanish, it's all the more easy and fun. It's all gated, so you'll need your key to leave and return.
LOCATION: You are just about a block and a half from the beach. And it is astounding: a wide-open section of Eagle Beach between nice, quiet timeshare properties. Even in high season, we had so much space on the sand and in the surf! The timeshares have palapas (shade stands) which are public. You can use your unit's beach chairs under them, but just not the timeshares' furniture. On the main street, you can walk to nice, reasonable restaurants and handy shops in either direction.
GETTING AROUND: We took a cab from the airport to the property ($25-30 for 4 people and lots of bags). The cabbie was very informative about the island and its ways. We soon rented a car because we needed supplies from the big grocery stores (making 3 meals almost each day, plus Balashi beer for the guys), and we wanted to explore the island throughout our stay. It was worth it and we'd do that again. The concierge can help you rent a vehicle, or go to La Quinta's office a short walk away.
WE LOVED: The unit and grounds and pool area, renting gear next door at AquaWindys and driving up to Malmok & Arashi Beaches for awesome snorkeling, going up to the lighthouse and checking out the wild side of the island, walking over to the Costa Linda for awesome half-price happy hour and early bird specials--right on the beach. La Quinta's outdoor bar was fun too.
WON'T DO NEXT TIME: Shopping or driving downtown when cruise ships are in, exploring the high-rise hotel complexes and restaurants (interesting, but too crazy for us), or visiting the Balashi Brewery and Baby Beach (disappointing for such a long drive).
A Home Away from Home!
I have been meaning to write this review since we returned home from Aruba this past November. It was our first trip to Aruba and our first time using VRBO so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Needless to say, My Husband and I and our 3 year old son had a wonderful stay. Lisa (the owner) was very pleasant and helpful, promptly answering any of our questions and concerns. The unit was very clean and nicely furnished with full kitchen supplies. We purchased our groceries at Superfoods (a huge store, well stocked with a diverse food selection). Traveling as a family it was nice to have a peaceful morning breakfast then we would pack our cooler with snacks and drinks and load into the rental car right outside the unit for a day of exploring and relaxation. We had no trouble finding parking at any of the beaches and it was free (though we were traveling in early November). The grounds were well landscaped with a community pool and BBQ area only a stones throw from our unit. The property maintenance staff and gate staff were all very friendly. After exploring many parts of the island including the high-rise area and the low rise Eagle beach area, I feel we made the best choice staying in the Gold Coast. Although this unit is not right on the beach, if you have a rental car the location is perfect….close to everything yet peaceful and relaxing. Although Eagle Beach is by far the largest swimming beach with wonderful sand and gorgeous water, I think one of my favorite spots was the tiny little cove beach (Boca Catalina) just a 1-2min drive from the unit were you could enjoy both snorkeling and swimming. Although, you will want to get there pretty early in the morning to secure one of there few shade umbrellas. Late morning, it is a popular spot for snorkeling excursions and you will see many catamarans moored just off shore. We also loved Arashi beach a little further north just before California light house. This beach was a little rocky in spots but still great for swimming and not nearly as busy as Eagle and Palm beaches.
We highly recommend this place and would love to return in the future! Thanks Lisa and sorry again for the delayed review.
Wonderful Experience on my favorite Island !
We went in August with family and friends to celebrate my 50th birthday. We split our stay between Jake's property at Tierra Del Sol and then went over to Gold Coast. Both places are wonderful. We did experience an air conditioning problem at Tierra Del Sol but Jake was right on top of things. He had a maintenance man there within an hour. In the meantime, he offered up the Gold Coast for us. Amazing customer service ! We loved the layout of the townhouse. It was open, big and beautiful. It was nice to have the two pools to choose from. Kids like to be able to walk across the street for a quick dip. It's a very quiet, private area. You don't have the hustle and bustle of the hotel area (which we prefer). We always rent a car while on the island. There are too many good places to go to ! Without a doubt I will rent from Jake again. He truly honors his commitment to satisfaction !

The front of the packaging gives us our first look at the unit as well as wattage, warranty, and 80Plus information. Corsair makes sure that you know this unit comes with a seven year warranty right off the bat.
The back gives the most information about the unit including connector availability, I/O specifications, noise and efficiency. There are also a few highlights of other features such as the single rail design and quality of build.
On the bottom we find a couple of other features listed that talks about the DC-to-DC circuitry for the 3.3V and 5V rails and the semi-modular cables design.
A little more information can be gathered on the top, most importantly the dimensions of the unit. We also learn the unit has auto-switching circuitry for accepting 100V-240V input.
Both sides of the box simply list the model with a small picture of the power supply.

Dear Sean Payne,
You may not be sober enough to read this yet. You're probably sleeping right now. I hope so. It's been a rough 24 hours for you. When you get arrested for public intoxication and you're too drunk to hold your own head up for a mugshot and a cop has to do it for you, that's really embarrassing. When the whole internet knows about it, that's shame-inducing. Keep reading »
