- Playwright/actor in 1 man First Person Multi Media Living History show THE DuPONT STORY� A FAMILY A COMPANY - Playwright of Broadway style musical GERSHWIN, by GEORGE: The 1936 Radio, JUDY GARLAND \x34World's Greatest Entertainer\x34 - Author of historical novel: ALEXEI and RASPUTIN - High school soccer and lacrosse ref and arts/non-profits advocate
Relationships develop quickly during WWII in the SOUTH PACIFIC. In scene one within nano seconds Sarah Litzsinger (Nellie Forbush) falls madly in love with the elegant (and older man) Michael Sharon (Emile DeBecque). He is equally twitter patted by this cockeyed optimist from Arkansas. Next, Christopher deProphetis (Lt. Cable) meets the lovely Tonkinese girl Stephanie Walters (Liat). Pyrotechnics! They are sharing a bunk bed that night! So it can be said that life is truncated in both war and musical theatre.
This is DTC's first full blown Broadway musical in this their 34th season. Executive Director Bud Martin continues his premiere year here in introducing Wilmington audiences to actors with major Broadway chops. Litzsinger, for example, has appeared on the great White Way with the iconic Patti Lupone and sang Evita in a production directed by Hal Prince, another deity.
Martin is flourishing in his mission to make Delaware a World Class state and the sold out opening night house showed their appreciation with a Standing O.
It is a tale of discrimination accompanied by glorious songs. I recall a tv bio of Oscar Hammerstein wherein he spoke to the challenges of the show. South Pacific opened in 1949, a long long time ago relative to racial prejudice. The lyricist struggled with his backers to include the song "You've Got To Be Carefully Taught". While we realize society has not achieved parity, the issues between Nellie and Emile and Cable and Liat seem almost quaint today. Stage and screen roles today are generally race neutral. Director Martin acknowledges this by casting two African American kids as Emile's mixed race children.
The voices of the leading characters are superb, most especially Sharon's Emile ( "Some Enchanted Evening" + "This Nearly Was Mine") and Amy Jo Phillips' (Bloody Mary) "Bali Ha'i"
The singers were backed by a 14 piece orchestra, another precedent for the Company. Either DTC invested in a new sound system or Sound Designer Josh Liebert and Sound Engineer Stacy Slocum worked overtime. It was terrific and nary a syllable was missed.
Further 'enchanting' is to see home town hero Sonny Leo as choreographer. The dancing was nowhere near a complimentary member of the 'cast' as in past productions. Aisle Say has seen Sonny's work over many decades and neither his potential nor his creativity was maximized. Oh, Luther Billis' bra? Both Ray Walton in the movie and John O'Toole at Candlelight Dinner Theatre always wore two cocoanut shells. A small bit, true, but one that resulted in multitudinous chuckles. I'm still trying to figure out what this Billis was wearing.

Even prettier than it appears online!
The online information is accurate but when I walked in, I realized that the online photos don't do it justice. Modern, comfy seating with tasteful and cheerful color scheme. Nice kitchen with any utensil you might need to cook on the BBQ as well as visit the many nice restaurants in town. Great private beach at low and high tide. I enjoyed the swimming while my husband kayaked. Quiet mornings. Pretty bedrooms. Excellent hot/cold outdoor shower we preferred as come in back after the beach. Great views. Good customer service from Judy. Would recommend to a friend and return. Only tiny problem was we hated to leave and the cleaning couple arrived early and idled their car just outside the door we were bringing our luggage out through. Unpleasant and they just watched (maybe needed A/C in their car). Wish they would have driven around the block a few times because it felt like an abrupt ending to a lovely week. But that was minor in the whole scheme of things!:)
Narrows Island
My wife and I have been going to Narrows Island for the past several years. We live busy lives and always look forward to spending time at this spot. It is a beautiful place that is private, quiet, and relaxing. Great for the two of us (and our dog) and family / friends who stop by to visit. Owner is always very accommodating and friendly. As I sit here and write this, I can't stop thinking about going back next year.
Guestbook Comment
We spent a week here in July/August 2007, there were 7 adults, 4 young kids, and 2 dogs. While we were a bit of a squeeze with our numbers, we were extremely happy with the house. The location was superb--5 minute drive from town beach, 15 minute drive from Hammonnasset State Beach, 5 minute walk to charming town center. We cooked on the grill every night. At the end of the street is a super nice family with a 6 year old boy; if you have young kids he'll find you and is fun to play with! Nice touche: the free wireless internet/phone. Only (minor) drawback: lots of mosquitoes, so bring your bug spray. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Real Life Spy Drama On U.S. Bound Plane: "I'm Dead Already, They're Gonna Kill Me"
Submitted by LittleWing on Thu, 06/20/2013 - 21:00By Mac Slavo
Passenger Daniel Perry is escorted off of a United Flight originating in Hong Kong. Is he a national intelligence asset?
To add further drama and confusion to the story of Edward Snowden, NSA Spying and Central Intelligence Agency involvement, a passenger on a U.S. bound flight out of Hong Kong Monday claimed that intelligence agents had detained him, were going to kidnap him, take him to a safe house, and that they planned to kill him because of his knowledge about the recently released leaks.
According to witnesses, passenger Daniel M. Perry relayed to other passengers aboard the plane that he was a government worker, a claim that was later confirmed by sources.
According to law enforcement officials the man went on a "bizarre" rant. His actions were described by a CBS news report as an "erratic and disturbing anti-government rant."
Read the eye witness accounts below and listen to some of the audio and decide for yourself.
Are these rantings of a madman? Or, given that Perry has been verified as a federal employee and was on his way to the United States from Hong Kong, where Edward Snowden is reportedly hiding out, could there be more to this story then just another deranged, unruly commercial airline traveler?

Not for nothing
But this guy was probably already paranoid, and when the news struck that the NSA was spying, that's all the proof he needed to fill in the gaps of his fantasy. Down vote me if you want, just saying, if you were a sane person and you had these feelings, you wouldn't be yelling them out loud on an airplane, you'd be contacting journalists, or trying to publish what you know somehow online or whatever, and you'd be quiet about it, at least until you had secured your safety the best you could.

So now, if it is true that he has information from Snowden in Hong Kong, Snowden needs to come out and talk about this Perry guy to prove that what Perry was saying is true and NOT what mainstream media is saying.

Might be one to watch after all.
All these eyewitnesses, all this supposed recording and all we have are eyewitness accounts of a man NOT screaming and running through the isles but rather speaking and shouting "loud enough" to be heard. But then he had to be tackled and restrained?
OK the one bit of supposed audio I have heard of the incident is howling to the level people do when being beaten, have severely fell off their meds or severely fallen into a bottle. I heard about 15 seconds of audio USED AS BACKGROUND for another interview.
Has anybody seen or heard raw footage? We don't even have enough to imagine alien spacecraft fires missile.
Note that this man's reported presence in civilian custody at this time proves absolutely nothing regarding his supposed assertions. I note that if what he says is true he very probably saved his life by acting out.
Most of those who think so actually don't and most of those who think sew actually rip.

"He will be charged...but
"He will be charged...but only after a full medical and mental evaluation." That is just terrifying.
If you think about it, if you wanted to get on the radar with the message he was trying to get out, this would be a great way to do it. These kinds of disturbances on planes always make the headlines.

Yes, I think most spies board commercial flights and in a fit of paranoia go on loud, boisterous rants. They are taught this in spy school.

I hope so too!
Did you hear the passengers relate the story quite differently than the FBI and media.
"He never threatened any individual on the plane. He didn't threaten to blow up the plane. He didn't threaten to divert the plane. He was just saying he had information relating to Ed Snowden," passenger Peter Jones added."
"He said he worked for the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi and he was being detained by the CIA and was being transferred and his life was in danger," I hope the guy is going to be okay.

I haven't any idea what's going on in this case, but I will point out that there is no end to the incidents on airplanes similar to this one. People try to open doors, etc.
My theory is that this has something to do with altitude and the brain.
Anyone acting strangely on a plane can expect to be escorted off.

Remote Start
Allows a vehicles engine to activate without physical contact from the user. This feature is useful for warming up your vehicles engine and transmission to operational temperatures. In cold climates you can have your interior hot or in warm climates you can cool it down before use. All of this can be done while in the comfort of your home or office.
LCD Remote
Receive visual confirmations from your vehicles security system or remote start system. Features such as remote start, lock/unlock, arm/disarm and trunk release will appear on the remotes screen with its current status. An LCD remote can display warning icons when the doors, trunk or hood are open. If your vehicle is tampered with, some remotes display what part of the vehicle was affected.
Keyless Entry
Performs lock and unlock tasks without physical contact with the vehicle. Power door locks can be controlled from several feet away or even within a building using a remote fob. The fob emits a radio frequency that is digitally encoded to prevent frequency stealing so no one can enter into your vehicle without your wireless transmitter.
Dual Zone Shock Sensor
This shock sensor utilizes warning chirps for minor disturbances and will trip the alarm if it detects more serious impacts or disruptions. Most dual zone shock sensors have adjustable sensitivity to reduce false alarms or warnings. These sensors let would-be thieves know that your vehicle is equipped with an advanced alarm system and to keep away.
Dedicated Trunk Release
This unit comes with trunk release capability and remote control integration for OEM alarm or add-on trunk release systems. Pop your trunk using your remote transmitter for convenience and ease of use. Carrying a handful of groceries? Arms tied up with luggage? Pop the trunk without using your key so its open and waiting for you when you arrive.
2-Way Paging
Send commands to your remote start or alarm system and receive confirmation that those commands were carried out. Obtain updates on your vehicles security status and get driver pages on the remote. If your vehicle is being tampered with, your remote transmitter will warn you and set off the vehicles alarm.
Security: This means that the car alarm system is just that. No bells and whistles, just a car alarm system.
Remote Start: when installed, this allows the user to start a vehicle from a remote location. Remote start modules and security with remote start alarms often require an additional vehicle specific bypass module to complete installation.
Security with Remote Start: This means that the system incorporates both features listed above.
A dual zone shock sensor is a feature of proximity and shock sensors only. Zone 1 ( light impact on shock sensor and short motions(adjustable) on proximity sensor) will trigger warn away chirp to warn intruder that car has an alarm without setting off the full alarm. Zone 2 (heavy impact on shock sensor and extended motions(adjustable) on proximity sensor) will trigger the alarm to go off.

Installation is challenging, but the system works well.
I like the system because it has an abundance of features and comes at a great price point.
I can only estimate "durability" as it took me six months to finally get it installed.

I am a professional installer and I have istalled several of these units, even have one in my truck. This is a great system with one exception. The LCD remote is a little problematic. My remote has problems with resetting itself randomly, which isn't a big deal because it still works afterward. The remote start works excellent and the built in turbo timer is an outstanding feature. I would recommend it and have many times. I just wish Crimestopper would make the remote a little better.

Hi, Just purchased a Kimber Ultra Carry II in stainless w/night sights and a Colt 1911 Government Rail Gun this weekend. Shot both at the range and all I can say is Wow. Both pistols performed flawlessly and had no issues of any kind. Shot 200 rounds to get the feel of a 1911 again and both are sweet.

Scientists have may have just discovered the ultimate way to stay fit – without exercise, diet or lifestyle changes. Millions have dreamed of this day, but is it possible? Yes, say scientists –in the near future, visits to the gym may be replaced by visits to your gene therapist.
This month, according to a report from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), scientists recently were able to tweak a single gene in sedentary mice to produce the same effect as an intensive two week endurance training schedule. The manipulation initiated a genetic process that stimulated the mice's heart muscle cells to proliferate; the growth was comparable to normal mice that swam 3-4 hours a day.
"If we could find a similar pathway in humans, we could eliminate diet and exercise in humans," said Bruce Campbell, a genetic researcher based in Los Angeles. "While there is no similar process in humans today, it seems likely that we can do something similar in humans in coming years."
These findings also may lead to a biological method for repairing the damage from heart attacks and strokes on injured heart muscles.
"They decided to try and find a gene that could be driving some of the important changes we see in exercise," said Campbell. "Yet they'll need to be cautious – manipulating genes is very much like playing God with the human species – changes made at these levels can be easily transmitted to future generations, and may mutate as well."

Though it will come as no surprise to most gamers, EA and Bioware have announced today that they are planning to integrate a free-to-play system into the existing subscriber-based model of Star Wars: The Old Republic.
They've said the change will be coming this Fall as The Old Republic will become a hybrid F2P game similar to highly successful F2P transition of Lord of the Rings Online. The subscription option will still exist, and those players will be essentially treated as VIPs and given an allowance of money to spend in the online store.
However, players will then able to download and play the game for free up to level 50 if that's the route they choose. They'll also be able to unlock specific restrictions individually.
"Players want flexibility and choice. The subscription-only model presented a major barrier for a lot of people who wanted to become part of The Old Republic universe," said Matthew Bromberg, general manager of Bioware Austin, which produces SWTOR.
Something tells me we're going to have to amend our list of the best F2P MMOs. The switch to F2P will be coming in November.

My parents, according to the world's definition of "cool," were not. Neither drank, nor did either ever possess a credit card. Groceries and clothing were paid for in cash, utilities paid by check, and the only monthly payments they ever allowed themselves were a mortgage for a house, a short-term loan for another farm, and a couple of cars bought, over time, and paid for quickly.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded in 1909. It is the nation's oldest and largest civil-rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the pre-eminent advocates for civil and human rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal-opportunity enforcement in the public and private sectors.
"What I am saying is, we spend too much time, we waste time, the city's time that the people have us up here to do. We waste that time. We looked at it the first of October and November and December, we're still going over the same stuff. Why don't we go on and do what we're supposed to do? Get it approved and move on to the next issue that this council is supposed to be doing".

John Lamoreux first started tinkering with cars as a teenager after his mother, Dorothy, encouraged him to fix up her coworkers' vehicles. Almost 30 years later, John's passion for all things automotive has translated into The Auto & Tire Doctor, his three-acre, AAA-approved automotive-repair center and maintenance shop. John welcomes roadsters of all makes and models into his shop's 14 full-service bays, employing computerized diagnostic equipment and a staff of ASE-certified experts who specialize in Audis, Volkswagens, and Subarus. Handling a host of automotive services, The Auto & Tire Doctor also uses a computerized My Car tracking system to schedule appointments and track maintenance records. Customers can lounge in soft, plush couches as they wait and take in the race-centric décor of vintage gas pumps and an engine-block coffee table that runs on dog-eared copies of Car and Driver.
The Wave Carwash grants sullied autos 24/7 access to their facility for mighty but gentle washing procedures. The self-serve bays empower visitors to liberate their cars from muck and gunk with a number of grime-fighting weapons ($2.25 for four minutes). The presoak loosens dirt, bugs, and construction horses that cars collect over time, and a spot-free rinse blasts away any lasting debris. For a polished shine, car owners can swaddle their vehicles in high-pressure wax and a tri-gloss solution that applies a coat of glossy renewal. With touchless automatic options that range from express ($4) to ultimate ($9), horse-less carriages whinny as robotic nozzles pamper their exteriors until they reach the chosen level of cleanliness. The soft-touch premium package treats automobiles with extra delicacy and includes a two-step hot-foam bath, soft-touch scrub, and vortex dry ($5–$10). To help maintain Mother Nature's receding hairline, The Wave also uses an environmentally friendly sand-filtration process.
Congeniality comes second only to cleanliness at Jimmy's, where the owner is always on site and the employees are enthusiastic about spiffing up their customers' rides. With Jimmy's finest wash package, horseless carriages are treated to a five-step scrubbing that leaves them sparkling and confident. After a general sudsing of the exterior and an undercarriage rinse, the cars is treated to an application of triple-coat polish, full-body Rain-X protectant, and a tune-up of its bug-proof force field. The special wheel cleaner amps up tire twinkle, relieving wheels of their burden of road grime. Lest vehicle interiors become jealous of newly laved exteriors, Jimmy's invites customers to use complimentary vacuums, window cleaner, and towels to put the finishing touches on their vehicular makeovers.
While onboard, zone out to Sirius radio, treat mitts to a warm scented towel, or surf the Internet with complimentary WiFi. Blue Groundways also offers onboard bistro service (with fresh, non-frozen fare), pillows and blankets on hand, a climate-controlled cabin, and Starbucks brews. If you're of the legal age, a complimentary alcoholic beverage will find its way to your hand; if you aren't, then enjoy an equally complimentary soda. You can also lounge back in spacious seating and pass the time with Blockbuster movies.
All About Cars' technicians boast a collective 60 years of experience crawling beneath cars, ducking into hoods, and patching up batteries, engines, shocks, and transmissions. The ASE-certified crew combines their training with experience to nurse cars back to health and keep them on the road. Their services include repairs and maintenance, such as oil changes, inspections, and pep talks for older cars that feel like they can't keep up with the newer models.

I conducted a chimney inspection and found out that there is quite a bit of work that needs to be done. The home is in Santa Clara County in California and I would be happy to summarize the findings for anyone that could help me identify the cost to repair items such as sealing joints, tuck painting, missing areas of mortar. Who should I contact for the work-a masonry? |

All of my chimney repair was done by a chimney sweep/inspector/stove specialist. He may of subbed out the masonry work but it all came in on his one bill. Call around- estimates are free. |

I have to admit, I do like gin and tonics. I am pretty fussy though. There are only one or two brands of gin that I really like, I also like a lot of ice and there has to be a decent wedge of lemon. Without the lemon, it's just not a gin and tonic. I am that crazy person that spends about three minutes squeezing all the lemon juice out before I dare take sip. More …

Prohibition Tea
By Vicky in Cocktail 4 Comments Tags: bitters, Tennessee Whiskey, Vermouth
It's that time of the year again folks, Prohibition Day! On the 16th of January 1920, Prohibition officially began in the United States. Today, I am marking that anniversary with my own version of Prohibition Tea made with Tennessee Whiskey. With the rise of Gin Tea, I thought Whiskey deserved a similar treatment. There's something kind of nice about cocktails served in fancy tea cups.

I love this neat, simple structure - it provides just the right amount of shelter and its minimal style is a great match for the cool checkerboard yard.
With a view like this, I would never go inside. I really like how the little covered space looks organic, like it's just grown out of the house itself. It's not fancy at all and kind of reminds me of a beach shack, which I love.
City backyards are actually prime for outdoor structures like this pergola. Since the space is small, why not really go all out? In this case, since the house is neutral I'd add a ton of color in the furniture and with flowers, and even paint the concrete. A crazy little oasis is a nice surprise behind a conservative house.
Hawaii is the ideal place to create outdoor rooms (of course, they do have to be able to handle a daily rain shower). While this space isn't technically outside, it's got the right spirit. The open wall is just amazing.
This LA home is another great example of keeping walls open to connect outside and inside spaces. Here, I love the mid-century roof lines and the way the outdoor spaces work with the rest of the house.
This simple porch makes me think a lot about how we usually furnish outdoor spaces, and how we use them. Too often, outdoor furniture just isn't all that comfortable, and the focus is more on dining than it is on just hanging out. This sofa looks like a nice spot for a nap, though. I like the idea of using outdoor rooms for more than just meals.
That said, I do love dining al fresco. This dining space is so cool, too - the use of fabric instead of a solid roof is genius. I'm sure it's fantastic on a day with a slight breeze.
Too often, we don't think about artwork for outside. True, nature is art in itself and it doesn't always make sense to compete with the landscape. But I think simple art that emphasizes the benefits of the outdoors - like this cool wall sculpture - work with the natural landscape and neatly emphasize an outdoor room's combination of indoors and out.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
An AutoExec macro is a macro that runs the moment you open up the database file. That allows you to automate your repetitive tasks. For example, every morning there's a report that I like to run. Sometimes I like to view it and sometimes I like to print it. There are also several forms that I use day in and day out. Creating a macro that opens up all of these objects will save me precious seconds every morning. To create the macro, go to the Create ribbon and on the right-hand side choose Macro. My first action will be to open up my morning report.
So I'll use the dropdown, scroll down, and OpenReport. The report that I want to open is my Orders by Customer Report. I can open it in Report View, but I also have the option of sending it straight to the printer or opening up in Print Preview to give me the option of viewing it or printing it. My next step will be to open up one of my forms. I'll click Open Form and I'll choose my Customers Order Form since I use that every day. The other form I use is for my Sales Reps.
So I'll click on the dropdown, click on Open Form again, and this time, choose my Sales Reps and customers Form. I'll close my macro and Save it. Now here's the crucial part, you have to give this macro the named AutoExec. That's what tells Access to run it the moment the file is opened. I'll click OK. I'll go up to the File tab and close the database. Now when I open it again three things happen.
It opened up my Sales Rep and Customers Form. It opened up my Customers Orders Form, and there's my morning report ready either to be printed or just to be viewed. Creating an AutoExec macro to automate your repetitive tasks will save precious minutes off every morning.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - A grand jury has indicted a Tennessee man on two counts of transporting wildlife across the state line after violating Kansas hunting laws in Stafford County. The charges were made Thursday at the U.S. District Court in Kansas City.
When little Alisha Wheeler, 9, visited her grandpa's grave recently, she asked her mom where his lap would be. Kim Wheeler indicated a spot, and Alisha took a seat.
HUTCHINSON – With the theme "Weird, wild and wonderful, the Kansas State Fair never gets old," the 100th official Kansas State Fair opens Friday in Hutchinson and runs through Sept. 16.
The search is on for a replacement to fill the Great Bend City Council vacancy left by the resignation of Marty Keenan.
The Barton Community College Foundation's Big Benefit Auction had a Western theme in 1981, and the Claflin Fire Department donated the buffalo head to add a bit of humor to the event.
There are many ways to describe the notion of being honored with the sale of a stuffed buffalo head. Some might call it strange or unusual. Outsiders would probably call it a little crazy.
They may not all be future farmers, but today's fourth graders are already consumers of products grown by Kansas farmers and ranchers. On Wednesday, Barton County's fourth graders were invited to spend a day on the Roger Brining farm west of Great Bend to learn more about agriculture.
As if the Bikes, Bombers and Butterflies weekend in Great Bend wasn't already jam-packed full of activity, Great Bend Fire Chief Mike Napolitano has given the green light for the city fireworks display on Saturday night, Sept. 22 at the airport. The show begins a half-hour after sundown, immediately following the POW MIA ceremony which starts at 7 p.m. as part of the Great Bend Airport Airfest.
A stolen vehicle was recovered Monday and an area man arrested after a brief manhunt in southeast Barton County, the Barton County Sheriff's Office reports.
Eight years ago, as Manweiler Chevrolet in Hoisington was observing its 75th anniversary, Gene Manweiler defied his father's wishes and renovated the old-school neon signs atop the family dealership.
Each September, emergency management agencies across the United States observe the month as "Emergency Preparedness Month" to highlight the need for everyone to be prepared for natural and man-made disasters of all kinds.
Wheatland Electric will replace the power poles along North Washington from 30 Road to 50 Road.
It's been nearly 10 years since two Great Bend women were found murdered in the Dolly Madison bakery outlet store at 1004 Harrison St. Store employee Mandi Alexander, 24, and customer Mary Drake, 79, were killed on Sept. 4, 2002, and the crime remains unsolved.
HOISINGTON - Resplendent in jewels, colorful ballerina dresses, and twirling and blowing kisses to the friendly audience, the Hoisington Labor Day Princess was once again coronated the 116th annual Hoisington Labor Day Celebration.
Great Bend Fire Department responded to a grass at 11:50 a.m. Sunday in a vacant lot just north of a house 351 North U.S. 281.
Kansas is among 13 states and territories nominating historic properties to be included on the National Register of Historic Places to The National Park Service. Two of the sites are within an hour's drive of Great Bend. One, the Hotel Roberts, once belonged to the former Great Bend hoteliers Clement C. "Monte" and Ruth "Betty" Parrish.

A 14,000-square-foot painting on the underside of a NoDa bridge will be unveiled Saturday, marking the latest in what arts boosters hope will be a series of gussied-up city underpasses.
The painting, created by Charlotte artist William Puckett, depicts the 1775 Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, when Charlotte became the first community in the 13 colonies to declare independence from Great Britain.
This weekend is the declarations 237th anniversary. The mural unveiling also marks the second time this year that a major underpass in the city has been turned into art.
In March, a piece called Passing Through Light was unveiled on the underside of Interstate 277 at West Trade Street. The artwork consists of computerized colored lights and was paid for with the help of Johnson C. Smith University and public art money administered by the Arts & Science Council. The council also gave a $5,000 grant to the NoDa mural.
More underpass art will follow, if the community makes good on a 2020 Vision Plan presented to the Charlotte City Council late last year. The plan, commissioned by the city, Mecklenburg County and Charlotte Center City Partners, recommends that I-277 underpasses be used for things like public art as a way of linking uptown to nearby neighborhoods.
Such projects have been created successfully in larger cities across the country, including a light art installation in the Brooklyn Bridge underpass in Brooklyn, N.Y., and the Federal Street Railroad Bridge Art Gallery in Pittsburgh.
As of yet, no new underpass projects have been formally proposed, officials said. But Charlotte Center City Partners has talked to the Urban Ministry Center about an uptown underpass mural that homeless artists would paint.
City Council member Patsy Kinsey said the city could work through the Arts & Science Council to commission an artist to do another project, if public art money became available. Shes a fan of the NoDa mural, in part because one of her ancestors, Matthew McClure, was a signer of the Mecklenburg declaration.
Kinsey noted the city not only helped pay for the NoDa mural with a $25,000 neighborhood matching grant but worked with Duke Energy to repair lights under the bridge. The mural becomes city property on completion.
Gateways for travelers
Nicole Bartlett of the Arts & Science Council believes improving entrances to the citys major corridors will impress travelers.
Murals and mosaics are not uncommon in underpasses and aqueducts around the world, she said. In our society, underpasses are seen as gateways. ... Think of how often doors to buildings are decorated. Its the same idea.
In the case of the NoDa mural, Puckett transformed an eyesore into art in 10 months, said Hollis Nixon, president of the NoDa Neighborhood Association. The group showed its support by contributing $5,000 toward the $80,000 cost, and pitching in with volunteers to landscape the entrances. Donations made up the thousands not covered by grants, including a $3,500 gift from Puckett and his wife, Lauren.
The underpass, at Matheson and North Davidson streets, was consistently dark, ugly and overgrown before the project, Nixon said.
Honestly, that underpass was not a place that you wanted to walk through at night, Nixon said. Now, its the premier art project in a community of artists. It shows we are changing with the times and arent afraid to think outside the box.
Choosing a subject
Puckett came up with the idea after becoming interested in the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. He said he discovered through three months of research that all but two of the 27 signers had streets named after them in Charlottes northern corridor.
He did most of the work wearing rock-climbing shoes, to compensate for the slope of the bridges sides. Ear plugs also were required, to drown out the roar of engines and jackhammers during a construction project overhead on Matheson Street.
Its a whimsical painting, sort of childish, like a childrens book version of Mecklenburg Countys Declaration of Independence: a really, really big childrens book, Puckett said.

POSTED: Monday, July 23, 2012 - 5:45pm
UPDATED: Monday, July 23, 2012 - 5:49pm
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — New Orleans Saints Linebacker Jonathan Vilma headed to federal court in hopes of having his year-long NFL suspension overturned, but today's settlement conference ended with no resolution.
Now, Vilma is hoping a judge will grant a temporary restraining order on Thursday to prevent the NFL from enforcing his suspension.
You may remember, Vilma and three other current and former Saints players were suspended back in March.
They're accused of being leaders in a so-called bounty program that paid players for hurting athletes on opposing teams and knocking them out of games.
The league also suspended three coaches and the Saints general manager for at least part of this season.

Trooper Mike Haynes is the third Montana Highway Patrol Trooper to lose his life in the line of duty in the past 18 months. All three died in head-on traffic collisions, and all three worked out of the Kalispell detachment.
News release from Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock, 27 March 09:
Trooper Mike Haynes, 28, Dies of Injuries from Head-On Collision
'The Highway Patrol has lost a brother and Montana has lost a hero,' Bullock says
KALISPELL - Shortly before 8:30 AM, Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Mike Haynes passed away from injuries received in the line of duty. Haynes had been hospitalized as a result of a crash near Kalispell early Monday morning.
Haynes, 28, was sworn in as a trooper with the Montana Highway Patrol in August 2006. He is survived by his wife Tawny, his two young children Taryn and Elias, and his parents, John and Melody Haynes of Kalispell.
"Mike Haynes lived his values, and loved his job and his family. You couldn't ask for a better trooper or man," said Colonel Mike Tooley, head of the Highway Patrol. "Montanans should be proud that someone of Mike's caliber was working for them. He will be missed."
"The Highway Patrol has lost a brother and Montana has lost a hero. Our prayers tonight will be for Mike's young family," Attorney General Steve Bullock said. "Today and this weekend, I encourage all Montanans to honor and pray for the men and women who work in these dangerous occupations to make our lives safer. We also need to reflect on the devastating consequences that come with drinking and driving."
Trooper Haynes was travelling in the southbound lanes of US 93 at approximately 2:40 AM Monday morning. He was struck head-on by a Volkswagen being driven north in the southbound lanes. The 29-year-old male driver of the Volkswagen was killed upon impact and pronounced dead at the scene.
A full investigative report on the collision will be released in the near future, but alcohol and high speeds on the part of the driver of the Volkswagen were major factors, Col. Tooley said.
After nearly 30 years without any fatalities, Trooper Haynes is the third Highway Patrol trooper to die in the line of duty in the past 18 months. All three of the most recent deaths occurred in the Kalispell area.

While the latest nationwide polls show little distance between President Obama and Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee appears to have developed a wide lead among one potentially important group of voters: small business owners in swing states.
On Tuesday, Manta released new polling showing that, in what are expected to be the most hotly contested states come November, less than one out of three (32 percent) small business owners plan to vote for a second term for Obama, while more than half (53 percent) plan to vote for Mitt Romney or whoever wins the GOP nomination.
Roughly 4 percent said they would vote for the Republican candidate only if the name at the top of the ticket was Ron Paul, and 2 percent said they don't plan to vote no matter who runs against Obama.
Manta, an online small business community platform, surveyed nearly 1,600 small business owners across the country for the poll earlier this month. The firm identified Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin as potential swing states in the election, and the results have a margin of error of 2.98 points in either direction.
Among the other results of the poll:
• Nearly one in five (19 percent) swing state small business owners said health care was the most important political issue, followed closely by tax policy (17 percent) and government regulations (14 percent).
• Half of respondents said they believe the Republican Party is the most supportive of small business, significantly higher than the 22 percent that selected Democrats
• Roughly 56 percent of respondents said they were satisfied with the crop of presidential candidates; 44 percent said they were unsatisfied.

In 2001, Nick Brandt embarked on an ambitious photographic project, a trilogy of books memorializing the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa. Focusing on some of the world's last great populations of large mammals - elephants, giraffes, lions, gorillas, and their kin - he created two of the new century's most influential photographic books: On This Earth (2005) and A Shadow Falls (2009). His iconic portraits of these majestic animals express an empathy usually reserved for human subjects. The magisterial On This Earth, A Shadow Falls collects the most memorable images from Brandt's first two books, along with their accompanying essays. A testament to the bookmaker's craft, it is the first volume on Brandt's work to capture the superb quality of his remarkable, large-format prints, which are notable for their velvety blacks and tonal subtleties.
This hardcover book measures 15 inches by 13 3/10. Published September 1, 2012.
