War Enters a New Era – Cast Lead II and Cyber War
12:21 pm in Uncategorized by EdwardTeller
Mid-week, the Israeli Defense Forces began what is appearing to be another serious campaign against Hamas infrastructure in detail, and Gaza civilian infrastructure in general. Hamas and other militants in Gaza have responded to Israeli responses to Palestinian responses to Israeli actions or responses. So far at least 15 Palestinians and three Israelis are dead from this rapidly escalating set of confrontations.
The United Nations Security Council met Wednesday evening, resolving nothing. Egypt has recalled its ambassador from Tel Aviv, and Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil will be visiting Gaza, possibly today.
Since Operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009, Israel has gained no allies. But opponents of Israeli policies in Israel, in the occupied territories of the West Bank, in Gaza, and internationally, have increased markedly, mostly after the senselessly brutal attacks upon Turkish and American civilians on the MV Mavi Marmara, which left nine dead, some brutally executed at short range after surrendering.
The IDF began the operation on twitter, putting out a lot of tweets, some of which were either answered by Hamas-connected twitter accounts, or fake Israeli ones, designed to appear as if from Hamas. Currently, a trending hashtag is a tasteless niche, #HamasBumperStickers:
Since yesterday, anonymous and other global hacking communities have been taking down Israeli government and NGO web sites. The image at the top of this article is a screenshot I took of a Mexican anonymous collective's takedown of Advocate Israel.
The Washington Post just published an article titled Is Hamas Winning the Twitter War?

PHOENIX -- A fire at a north Phoenix apartment complex Thursday morning appears to have started with some boxes on a stove.
Phoenix and Glendale firefighters responded to a fire at a large two-story apartment complex near 11th Avenue and Bell Road at around 11 a.m. and found flames coming from the second floor.
Crews isolated the fire to two apartments and prevented the flames from spreading to adjoining units.
Preliminary investigation indicates the fire was accidental.
Phoenix fire Capt. Ruben Saavedra said a new resident was moving into the apartment where the fire started and had placed some boxes on the stove. The utilites were turned on Thursday and the fire appears to have started on the stove with the boxes.
Five people were displaced. Saavedra said the Phoenix Fire Crisis Response Unit and Red Cross are assisting those residents with shelter and food.
No residents or firefighters were injured.

A look back at the great South American success stories
Three of the greatest drivers ever to grace the Formula One grid, Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna, all hark from Brazil. Between them they scored a total of 96 pole positions, 78 wins and eight world championships and established Brazils reputation as a hub of racing talent. But closer to home, how did they and other Brazilian drivers fare in front of the fiercely passionate local fans?
Although there were several noteworthy names in the 1950s and early 60s, including Francisco Landi and Luiz Bueno, Fittipaldi was the first Brazilian driver to break through internationally. Just as Juan Manuel Fangio had boosted the popularity of racing in Argentina, so too did Fittipaldi in Brazil. His early successes, most notably clinching the 1972 drivers title at the tender age of 26, opened Brazils eyes to Formula One racing and a burgeoning fan base culminated in the country hosting its first world championship Grand Prix at the Interlagos circuit in 1973.
Fittingly, it was Fittipaldi who won that inaugural Brazilian race for Lotus. A year later and he won again in Sao Paulo, this time for McLaren. Then in 1975 the honours fell to his friend and countryman, Carlos Pace, who clinched his first - and only - Grand Prix victory at the Interlagos circuit which would later bear his name. Fittipaldi himself finished second, much to the delight of the home crowd, who celebrated their first Brazilian one-two. Another second for Fittipaldi in 1978 - driving alongside brother Wilson in the family Copersucar team - marked the end of his successful home run.
Then in the eighties a new Brazilian talent emerged, though Nelson Piquet initially did not fare well in his home race. A poor start from pole in 1981 resulted in a 12th-place finish, whilst he lost his 1982 win thanks to an illegal water tank on his Brabham. In 1983 - eight years after Paces triumph - Piquet finally clinched victory in front of an adoring home crowd, en route to that years drivers title
Piquet would win again in 1986, this time for Williams, with compatriot Ayrton Senna second. In 1987, the year he would win a second drivers title, Piquet missed out to Alain Prost and came home second. A third place for Lotus in 1988 would be the last time he graced the podium at his home race.
By then the impetus had well and truly fallen to Senna, who claimed his first drivers title in 1988. But between 1986 and 1990 Senna struggled at home. Despite scoring four pole positions he failed to improve on his second-placed finish in 1986 and only Mauricio Gugelmins third place in 1989 for March, consoled the Brazilian fans.
Then, after a nine year sojourn at Rio de Janeiros Jacarepagua track, in 1990 the Brazilian Grand Prix returned to Interlagos, located on the outskirts of Sennas hometown of Sao Paulo. The move seemed to prompt an improvement in the Brazilians fortunes. In 1990, despite a collision between his McLaren and a backmarker, the crowd cheered him on to finish third and a year later he drove to victory.
Engine troubles ended Sennas 1992 outing, but in 1993 he was victorious again, despite completing the final third of the race in sixth gear and receiving a 10-second penalty for overtaking under yellow flags. Sadly it would be the last time Senna stepped onto the podium in Brazil. A year later at Interlagos, just weeks before his death, he made a rare mistake and spun off on his Williams debut.
Since Sennas last triumph the Brazilian fans have been waiting 13 years for another local star to claim victory. Some 11 Brazilians have competed at Interlagos in that period, with the most successful by far being Rubens Barrichello. However, the veteran of 231 Grands Prix and winner of nine races, has been beleaguered by bad luck in his home event.
Between 1993 and 2003, Barrichello retired nine times. In 2003, after leading from pole, he looked to be in with a chance of a win, before seemingly running out fuel eight laps from home. His best finish to date remains a third place in 2004. This weekend may see a reversal in Barrichellos fortune, although, given Ferraris recent form, Felipe Massa is surely the Brazilian most likely to be standing atop the Interlagos podium come Sunday afternoon.

Boston Terriers
Call For Availabilty

According to international breed standard, the dog should weigh no less than 10 pounds and no more than 25 pounds. Boston Terriers usually stand 15-17 inches at the withers.[3]
The Boston Terrier is characteristically marked with white in proportion to either black, brindle, seal, or a combination of the three. Seal is a color specifically used to describe Boston Terriers and is defined as a black color with red highlights when viewed in the sun or bright light. Black, Brindle, and Seal (all on white) are the only colors recognized by the AKC. There are also liver, brown, cream or red and white Boston Terriers, however these markings are more rare than the others listed above, and are able to be AKC registered but not to be shown in dog shows as it is not the normal for Boston Terriers. If all other qualities are identical, brindle is the preferred color according to most breed standards.[3][4]
Ideally, white should cover its chest, muzzle, band around the neck, half way up the forelegs, up to the hocks on the rear legs, and a white blaze between but not touching the eyes. For conformation showing, symmetrical markings are preferred.[3] Due to the Boston Terrier's markings resembling formal wear, in addition to its refined and pleasant personality, the breed is commonly referred to as the "American Gentleman." [2]
The Boston Terrier is a gentle breed that typically has a strong, happy-go-lucky and friendly personality. Bostons are generally eager to please their owner and can easily be trained given a patient owner.
While originally bred for hunting rats in garment factories, they were later down bred for companionship. The modern Boston Terrier can be gentle, alert, expressive, creative, and well-mannered. It must be noted however, that they are not considered terriers by the American Kennel Club, but are part of the non-sporting group.[3] So the terrier part of their name is something of a misnomer.
Both females and males are generally quiet and bark only when necessary.[8] Their usually sensible attitude towards barking makes them excellent choices for apartment dwellers. Having been bred as a companion dog, they enjoy being around people, and if properly socialized, get along well with children, the elderly, other canines, and non-canine pets

How to Raise Money for a Good Cause
Have you ever had a friend with an animal at the point of death who didn't have the money to save their animal? Do you have any friends or relatives with a serious condition that desperately need support? Or do you just want to help raise money for all the other good causes established out there? If so, then this article is for you.
1Decide exactly what you want to raise money for. It's hard to make money for multiple purposes at once and might turn people away, so choose and stick with one cause.Ad
2Set a realistic deadline. That will help motivate all involved and create a sense of urgency.
3Find someone support to help you plan your cause. Grab some friends, relatives, or anybody else who would be willing to help you with your cause.
4Ask yourself how you want to raise the money. There are many different ways to raise money, so find one that's good for you. You could go door-to-door, place your cause in a good shopping center, or have a benefit concert.
5Come up with a name! Come up with an attention-grabbing name for your cause. Make up a name that lets people know what your cause is about or at least an idea. Make sure it's "public-appropriate" and try not to come up with something morbid.
6Create an online fund-raising page (optional). Send the link to your family, friends, co-workers, parishioners, team mates, etc. and collect donations via credit cards online. It's easy and simple, and eliminates spending a lot of time sending letters, calling people, and organizing big events.[1].
7Make posters or flyers to show what you're doing. Put a picture and story about your cause. Remember to make it really colorful and eye-catching, so it grabs people's attention.
8State the facts. Make sure state all the facts about your cause. If you're raising money for a personal cause, let people know exactly what it's for and whom you are raising the money for. If it's for an official organization, for example the SPCA or Department of Veteran Affairs, make sure to print their number, email address, or website on the posters/flyers.
9Go out and raise the money! Once you've prepared all the basics for your cause, get out there and start raising the money.
- Go door-to-door: If you plan on going door-to-door, make sure to bring along companion(s) to go with you. Bring some flyers to hand out to people who answer the door and remember to speak politely and clearly. If the person answering the door says they're busy, offer them a flyer with either a phone or email address they could contact you at should they decide to donate in the future. The same applies if someone isn't home or doesn't answer; leave a flyer with either a phone or email address they could contact you at should they decide to donate.
- Make a stand: Look for a good place to set up a stand, like a local gas station or shopping area. If you can't find a place on public property to set up, ask one of the shops if you can set up outside their store. Put up some posters and set out some flyers for people to pick up. Make sure to put out a donation box for people to place their money in.
- Set up a group event: Plan out a group event that anyone can come to; you could set up an event, like a concert or a barbecue. Sell tickets and food and use the profit to donate to your cause.
We could really use your help!
sim cards?
grilling zucchini?
mango salsa?
- Make sure that they know where the money is going.
- Don't pressure anyone into donating.
- Keep donors updated on fundraising progress. Making them feel like a real part of the fundraiser will increase the chances that they'll spread the word.
- You can create your signs by hand or you can use a computer program.
- Thank everyone who buys and/or donates.
- Write down the addresses or emails of everyone who donates so you could send a thank you letter.
- Design a web page or web profile for your cause.
- Make sure to have a "game plan" before you get started. In other words, make sure you know what you're doing before starting.
- Be positive even if it doesn't work at first! Put away money for a month.
- Don't lie and don't con people! This is obviously completely dishonest and you could actually get into legal trouble for fraud. (You also can't steal from people )

God is still speaking…..
May 25, 2014 6th Sunday of Easter
Answer: That you are here-that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
What might Calvary contribute as our verse?
Faithfully, Rev. Deb P.S.- Your trivia question of the week….what TV commercial is using this poem right now?
French composer Charles Gounod was inspired to improvise a melody that can be played simultaneously with the famous C-major prelude from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1. Gounod's father-in-law wrote down the improvisation and arranged it for violin (or cello) and piano in 1853. The tune became so popular that on May 24, 1859 the piece was published for voice and piano using the traditional Ave Maria text. Often heard at Catholic weddings or funerals with the sung Latin text, the original instrumental version is an appropriately thoughtful prelude.
OFFERTORY: Agnus Dei from Mass in B minor
by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
One of Bach's final works, the B minor Mass was premiered in the United States on May 19, 1886 in Cincinnati, OH, an oddity considering it took over 135 years to make it to this country. Even though Bach was a Lutheran, he continued in the long tradition of composing a Catholic Mass in hopes of securing a job with the new Holy Roman Emperor, Augustus III, Elector of Saxony; Bach got the job! The traditional Catholic Mass consists of five unchanging sections that have often been set to music: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus-Benedictus, and Agnus Dei. The text of the Agnus Dei, recited or sung during communion, comes from the first chapter of John: "Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us." This transcription for cello and piano is inspired by the original for tenor solo and orchestra.
POSTULUDE: Noël Nouvelet
15th Century French Tune
The first hymn we sing today as a congregation uses the text by the twentieth century British priest John M. C. Crum. The tune, however, is over 600 years old! First used as a Christmas hymn in France, translated into English in the 1600s, and still sung in churches today ("Sing We Now of Christmas"), the melody is now more popularly known with the text we sung today.
Come celebrate Hilma Jaeger's 99th Birthday! This Sunday Tootie and Norine will provide the birthday treats.
Happy Birthday Hilma!!

Why Should We Forgive? Matt Fitzgerald
"Don't lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn't know any better then; you do now." – 1 Peter 1:14
In my early twenties I worked for developmentally delayed adults. I had two roommates on my caseload named Dave and Johnny. Picture the "Odd Couple" with two Oscars. In an inhospitable world, Dave and Johnny thrived. It was the best friendship I've ever seen.
Then Dave caught Johnny rifling his sock drawer, stealing money. Weeks went by. Dave refused to forgive. Their home was all stony silence and Johnny's awkward overtures. He asked for grace and he got none.
With his face full of pain Dave said, "Why should I forgive him? He doesn't deserve it and I don't feel like it." The life had gone right out of their apartment.
Why should we forgive? Christianity doesn't answer. God just forgives. The implication is that only an ingrate will refuse to practice mercy after receiving it from Christ.
An ingrate, or a person who doesn't know either the measure of their debt or the fact that it's been erased. This is why Church reminds us that that we're sinners and then insists we've been forgiven. How will we learn to forgive? We will discover how much we need to be forgiven. And then we will learn that God loves us nonetheless.
I wish I had told Dave this twenty years ago. He didn't know it. He didn't go to church. But neither did I. At that point my Christianity was rusty. I know better now. So do you. Let's not keep silent. Otherwise we leave Dave to suffer, his refusal to forgive its own penalty as he sits in a home once filled with love, wishing desperately that life were different, unaware that it already is.
Dear God, give us the faith to accept your mercy. And then give us the wisdom to proclaim it. Amen.
Albert Hay Malotte (1895-1964) celebrates his birthday on May 19. He was an American pianist, organist, composer, and educator. His most famous contributions were the settings of "The Lord's Prayer" and "Psalm 23″ that are ubiquitous in church services, weddings, funerals, and concert halls. Apart from his religious music, Malotte wrote extensively for Disney in its early years.
We have sung "Blessed Be Your Name" the last two weeks. This is a modern piece touching on the same subject as the great hymn "It Is Well with My Soul." Both hymns are inspired by St. Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians about giving thanks in all circumstances.

Mike Bannier, Council President email@example.com 262-894-1710
May 11, 2014 Fourth Sunday of Easter
Mother's Day
At the April Council meeting, I was hired for a second 6-month contract. It will be my privilege to work with you between now and the middle of November. Last week we received Mike Bannier's resignation as President of Council. Mike has seen this congregation through a most long and difficult time. We are grateful for his kindness and service. We support his need to rest and re-create and we offer him our thanks for his leadership and strength on behalf of Calvary. Linda O'Krent, as Vice-President, will be taking over the duties as Council's president. Please pray for both of them!
Our theme this Eastertide is "practice resurrection." Let us continue on the journey of new life in faith. Faithfully, Rev. Deb
If your children are singing, please come 10 minutes BEFORE the service, from 9:10 to 9:20 am for the last practice. Thanks!

New works emerge from Grizzry PandaGrizzry Panda has been hard at work lately, it seems. Other than attending Treasure Festa in Kobe (as well as announcing he'll be at the upcoming Tresure Festa in Ariake), he's completed some new kits and statues. One of those happens to be the Dark Angel Miku from Project DIVA f. It's looking pretty darn good and as detailed as we might expect, right down to the shimapan, apparently. The other ... the other is a gigantic Miku Dayo. Almost Nendoroid Jumbo sized at first glance if that smaller Miku is a regular Nendoroid. So if you thought the Nendoroid was terrifying enough, now she's got a bigger sibling. Also posted to his blog were shots of his sculpts for the Heart Hunter Miku from Project DIVA and the Tell Your World Miku, which both are looking pretty nice.

I am researching my father's family and have been able to reach back to my great-grandfather. If you are a member of the Iampietro family, I would enjoy hearing from you. I'm looking for any input which can help me "fill in the blanks" on my family tree. My paternal grandfather was born in Foiano, Italy in February of 1896. He came to America (following his older brothers) around 1916. He settled in Bethlehem and like many immigrants, found work in the steel industry. Mike Iampietro worked for the P.B. & N.E. railroad until he retired at age 65. Visit our links to "Family Tree Maker.com" and to "Geneaology.com" for more info; I'm adding photos, stories and charts as time permits! |

Endocrine disruptors (sometimes also referred to as hormonally active agents) are exogenous substances that act like hormones in the endocrine system and disrupt the physiological function of endogenous hormones. They exhibit a completely new type of toxic action that had gone largely unnoticed in conventional toxicological tests until relatively recently. Endocrine disruptors act like "stealth chemicals", i.e. they act below the "radar" of toxicity monitoring that has been in place worldwide for toxic chemicals.
In the year 2000, Swiss Federal Council approved the National Research Programme 50 "Endocrine Disruptors; Relevance to Humans, Animals and Ecosystems" (NRP 50), appropriating funds of 15 million CHF. Research began in 2002; scientific projects were terminated by the end of 2007.
The results of the NRP50 in conjunction with US studies highlight the potential risks of human exposure, and if animal studies are taken at face value, early gestational exposure may contribute to "fetal-origin-late-onset-adult-disease" in other major areas, such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, urogenital disorders and fertility. NRP50 research discovered new chemicals as endocrine disruptors (e.g. UV filters), new targets (such as corticoid receptor and PPAR signaling), and new detection methods. NRP50 research identified potential routes of exposure (breast milk, food intake and aqueous environment) and factors affecting the environmental processing of endocrine disruptors. Finally, integrative risk assessment techniques allowed for the identification of chemical hot spots in the environment as well as the exclusion of others.
With these results at hand, NRP50 established consensus platforms with scientists of the programme, representatives of the industries and authorities in order to direct future action regarding endocrine disrupting chemicals.

While in China, one of the small towns I visited had several little low walking-bridges across the river. It was the sort of river that was too shallow for boats, but good for fishing and washing clothes. This one was in a residential and commercial area. Many of the women wore colorful dresses and walked back and forth across... it all seemed very nice and peaceful so I grabbed an image.

The Department of Veterans Affairs' pattern of selective responsiveness – and sometimes total unresponsiveness – to oversight inquiries from the House Veterans Affairs Committee has continued into 2014.
VA has 111 outstanding requests for information from the panel dating back to June 2012, including a series of eight inquiries delivered to VA in late October and into November concerning information technology security in the wake of multiple data breaches compromising VA networks since 2010.
Those inquiries, a high priority for the committee because of the potential seriousness of the data breaches, were due in early November, are now two months overdue, with only a preliminary letter authored by VA CIO Stephen Warren sent to Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.), chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.
"The leisurely pace with which VA is returning requests – and in some cases not returning them – is a major impediment to the basic oversight responsibilities of the committee," a Capitol Hill official with knowledge of the inquiries told FCW.
The source said VA's unanswered questions have "created mounting frustration" for committee members, prompting Chairman Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) to "take the unprecedented step" of writing weekly letters to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki detailing the number of outstanding requests and calling for "accurate information in satisfaction of these requests."
In Warren's response to the committee on Nov. 22, he wrote that "VA will continue to work to provide information that is responsive to the subcommittee's requests." In November, sources within VA's Office of Information Technology, where most of the questions were directed, told FCW that the congressional probing had caused a "stressed environment."
The VA sources said only 20 of its 8,000 OIT employees were compiling responses, with one telling FCW it was like "another full-time job for a lot of folks," though Congress has insisted the questions should be rudimentary for any large IT organization.
The Capitol Hill source told FCW that a recent internal memo authored by Warren asks VA OIT personnel to focus on four areas: system baseline practices and procedures, configuration management, patch management and elevated privilege review. That initiative drew limited praise from Miller, indicating VA likely has a long way to go before it rights the transparency ship with Congress.

The VA needs to be managed privately. They obviously cannot handle the volume of veterans. There are accountability and responsibility loop holes. Bonuses to the upper management should cease.
No surprise the VA won't answer congressional oversight comittee, they won't answer veterans eithir or correct their lies and mistakes. Example, I have a foi request in since 2006 with the R/O cleveland, Ohio, still no response. The only time I get any response is when I file an email telling the VA I'm filing criminal charges against them. 18 USC 241 and 42 USC 199d. The vA retaliates by dening me services and tries again to dirty up my name, I've even had the VA HQ through their website email apologise for the wrong doings of the VA Hospital, but he VAH keeps messing with me. The VA has and always will be the enemy of veterans.
VA is above the Law, ever one should this.

The two community boards that cover South Queens gave their stamp of approval to the planned rezoning of Ozone Park and parts of South Ozone Park, South Richmond Hill and Woodhaven, the first in more than half a century.
Community Board 10, which the vast majority of the rezoning includes, unanimously approved the plan last Thursday while Community Board 9, which includes all of South Queens north of 103rd Avenue, voted in favor of the rezoning on Tuesday night.
A total of 530 blocks bordered roughly by the Brooklyn border to the west, the Belt Parkway to the south, Lefferts Boulevard to the east and Atlantic and 103rd avenues to the north are part of the rezoning. The zoning area also includes one block on either side of Liberty Avenue all the way to the Van Wyck. It is the second largest — and last — rezoning of the Bloomberg administration.
The acclamations from the community boards came after short debates by both. Board members saw the plans last month and earlier drafts last spring.
The new zoning aims to protect the detached and semi-detached one- and two-family homes in the neighborhood as well as the few blocks of row houses that exist in the community. It includes the subcommunities of Wakefield and Locust Grove in South Ozone Park and Centreville, Tudor Village and Liberty Heights in Ozone Park.
A second goal of the rezoning plan is to upzone the commercial strips on 101st Avenue from the Brooklyn border to the Van Wyck Expressway and most of Liberty Avenue along that same length to allow for bigger apartment buildings and more commercial properties. A similar upzoning is to be don as part of the rezoning along Cross Bay Boulevard between Liberty Avenue and the Belt Parkway and Rockaway Boulevard between the Brooklyn border and Cross Bay Boulevard and again between 109th Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard to allow for more commercial development along that stretch. A small area of Lefferts Boulevard between Rockaway Boulevard and 111th Avenue was also rezoned for potential commercial development.
A small section around the Lefferts Boulevard/Liberty Avenue intersection would be downzoned because original zoning regulations would have allowed buildings as high as ten stories.
CB 10 Chairwoman Betty Braton called on each civic leader affected by the rezoning to give their approval to the plans at last Thursday's meeting. The Department of City Planning had been working with the various civic leaders for three years on the rezoning and the plan has been tweaked several times. Students from Ozone Park's High School for Construction Trades, Engineering and Architecture served as interns, assisting the DCP during the process.
There were few issues with the rezoning on CB 10 except for one resident, Carl Perrera, who owns a home on Centreville Street, expressing concern the rezoning, coupled with the planned widening of the street as part of the Albert Road sewer project, would hinder his ability to conduct renovations he wished to do on his property after the sewer project is done.
"It would cause me great economic hardship to have my block rezoned," he explained. "It would become unfeasible for me to build a decent-sized two-family house."
Michael Casillo, owner of SOS Auto Body Shop on 98th Street in Ozone Park, said the zoning was good for his business because he would be able to expand operations.
"We would have more workspace and be able to move our office onto the roof of the building," he said.
At CB 9, the only concern that came up is street parking.
Sandra Datnarain, a member from Ozone Park, said she was concerned increased density along 101st and Liberty avenues would lead to bigger parking troubles, already a big issue in the neighborhood.
"Does this plan also provide for parking?" she asked City Planner Tom Smith.
Smith said it would be the homeowner's responsibility to provide the necessary parking according to the regulations.
The boards' approval was met with praise from Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) who made the rezoning of the neighborhood a top priority during his term in office.
"What you've done tonight will impact and benefit the residents and businesses of Ozone Park for the next 50 years," Ulrich said at last week's CB 10 meeting after the board's affirmative vote. "You will see five or 10 years from now good, responsible development in this community and you will be able to prevent the type of development we don't want in the future."
With the community boards' approval, the rezoning plan now goes to the Queens Borough Board, which is expected to vote on the plan on Oct. 21, then back to the City's Planning Commission and the City Council for the final votes.
It is expected to be finalized by the end of the year.
The Ozone Park rezoning comes just a little more than a year after the rezoning of Richmond Hill and Woodhaven was completed. The City Council approved that plan in July 2012.

When Philadelphia architect Robert Venturi, FAIA, received the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1991, the award generated a good deal of grumbling from many in the architectural community for the person who wasn't named: his wife and architectural partner of roughly three decades, Denise Scott Brown, FAIA. Venturi and Scott Brown met in 1960, married in 1967, and became architectural partners in 1969. They collaborated on buildings and books—including the widely influential (and controversial) urban study, Learning From Las Vegas, published in 1972. The fact that Scott Brown wasn't also named a Pritzker recipient has been variously described as an "injustice" and a "blunder" by the architectural press. In March, the debate was reignited when Scott Brown was quoted by the Architects' Journal as saying, "They owe me not a Pritzker Prize but a Pritzker inclusion ceremony."
That statement ignited a flurry of debate—and inspired the Harvard University Graduate School of Design Women in Design Group to launch a petition demanding that the Pritzker Prize committee recognize Scott Brown's contributions to the field of architecture. As of this writing, the petition contains more than 4,000 signatures, including those of architect Zaha Hadid, Hon. FAIA; Rem Koolhaas, Hon. FAIA; and Museum of Modern Art design curator Paola Antonelli. Plus Venturi himself. (In a short note attached to his signature on the petition, Venturi wrote: "Denise Scott Brown is my inspiring and equal partner.")
Scott Brown told ARCHITECT that the attention has been "like a tidal wave." She says that she never imagined that the comments that she gave for the Journal's women's architecture luncheon would generate so many headlines. Earlier this week, she took time to talk with ARCHITECT about the Pritzker, her role in the firm she ran with her husband, and the ways she has been treated as a woman architect in a profession that she has described as a "19th-century upper-middle-class men's club."
Why raise the issue of the Pritzker at the Architects' Journal luncheon?
DSB: They asked me on camera about it as part of this video they were making. They had called me and said will you please come and talk at this luncheon we're giving. I said, "I'm going to Mexico City, I can't be in both places at once." So they said, well, will you make a video? When they asked me about the Pritzker Prize, I just told them what the story was. So they played the video and then they ballyhooed it in the Architects' Journal.
As a result of that story, a group of women graduate students at Harvard launched a petition asking that the Pritzker committee recognize your work. What is Mr. Venturi's opinion of all this? Didn't he recently sign the petition?
He signed the petition, yes. Read what he wrote. Bob believes—how does he put it: "Excuse nothing. Explain nothing." So he wanted to put something that represents his feelings and didn't excuse and explain. I think he did something very cool and very nice. It's also hard for him. It's hard on many levels. By the way, they said he is unwell. He isn't unwell, he is just old. He doesn't really want to be involved in architecture very much—or in this quarrel.
During an interview at Drexel University in 2008, you said of the Pritzker committee: "It took 23 years for them to find a woman [2004 Pritzker Prize winner Zaha Hadid] who fits the mold that, to them, means great architecture. Now I criticize their criteria enormously. But the fact that they couldn't bend their criteria—they couldn't see other ways of being an architect. They couldn't say, 'Maybe there are various streams.'" In your mind, what are the various ways of being an architect?

There's a million ways to be a woman. There's a million ways to be a mother. And there's a million ways to be an architect. There's a book that came out recently where they go into four different projects run by four different architecture firms—and they show how they're differently organized. In some cases, one designer is the complete boss and everyone else is kind of a peon. In others, consensual design goes all the way and it's very difficult to tell who did what. And there's a range in between. Within our office, there was a range, too.
The issue of being overlooked professionally is something you address in your 1989 essay "Room at the Top? Sexism and the Star System in Architecture." In it, you write, "I watched as [Bob] was manufactured into an architectural guru before my eyes and, to some extent, on the basis of our joint work and the work of our firm."
My ideas went where I couldn't go, you could say. My ideas were credited, but they were credited to Bob. Nancy Trainer describes how she was the project manager at a meeting we had with a client's group where we were talking with the board about a stadium and it had to have six seats added to it all around. I had an idea about how to do it, and I whispered something to Bob about it. And he said, "Yes, I agree with you. It's a good idea." Then I said the idea to the client. Bob had not said anything, but by the end of the meeting, they were referring to it as Bob's idea.
You wrote "Room at the Top" in the 1970s, yet it wasn't published until the late 1980s. What inspired you to write it? And then to hold back on its publication?
I wrote it because I was very angry. I'd been an associate professor at UCLA. I'd been with powerful people. At Penn, I was a colleague of [architects and urban planners like] Holmes Perkins, Bob Mitchell, William Wheaton—people like that. I thought the mantle of power covered me, too—and had I been a man, it probably would have. But all of a sudden, I am told things like, "This is Bob's writing, he is just using your name." Or: "Would the ladies please move out of the picture so we can have the architects?" I would say, "I am an architect." And they'd say, "Would you move out of the picture, please?" So I started putting down experiences that I'd been having. But that was when the first real bad news came out about how angry I was making some people. I began thinking, "This could be really bad for Bob and also for our office."
What happened when you spoke openly about being left out?
[Architectural historian] Colin Rowe got furious with me. He once said to me, "Denise, you must admit that I was Mr. Mannerist of the 1950s." He felt that Bob was taking his role. I said to Colin, "If you are criticizing Bob, you should be criticizing me, because we both did this stuff." He looked at me totally unbelievingly. Then, at a party, he put his arms around me holding his whiskey glass, spilling his whiskey down the back of my neck, and said, "Denise, cara mia. Fuck you, bitch!"
There was another time when Frederic Schwartz, who worked in our office, was at a presentation where they presented the Miami Beach project. The architects there were all praising it, saying, "This is a wonderful project that Bob has done." So, Frederic, who worked with me on it, said, "You know, Denise did it." The guy who was there — I guess he was one of the bigwigs in New York — he got so furious, he walked off the stage. But, he didn't walk out of the correct door, he walked into a closet and had to come walking back again!
A lot of the men were very angry. Another angry New Yorker was Philip Johnson.
How so?
Philip Johnson used to say, "We're all going to go to the Century Club—the architects, but not their wives. And we're going to wear evening dress and we're going to talk about architecture." So they invited Bob. The person who called said to me, "I'm embarrassed to have reached you, Denise, I wanted Bob. You can't come to this meeting because you're a wife."
That's an anecdote you included in your essay — except you keep Johnson anonymous, referring to him simply as "QP."
In the afterword to my book [Having Words], I expose for the first time that the person I called QP in that article was Philip Johnson. Someone invented some weird thing that said QP stood for such and such. It didn't. I called him QP because in looks he reminds me of a Kewpie doll. You have to get your revenge somehow!
Credit: Denise Scott Brown Venturi in Vegas, 1966. Enlarge Close In light of the issues with the Pritzker, I want to better understand your collaboration with Mr. Venturi. In many articles, he is listed as the designer and you as the planner. Is that description accurate?
Credit: Denise Scott Brown
It's very, very difficult to define us. I'd say that Bob is a very focused person who is surprisingly broad. And I'm a very broad person who is surprisingly focused. Bob is one of the few architects who I feel has a real understanding for urban design.
Do you design the buildings together?
We sure do. The process of joint creativity, which is what I like to call it, is: One has an idea, the other sees its relevance. The other then produces something and the first says, I could add to it this way. In some of those very large projects, I have initiated the parti program—for example, the Provincial Capitol Building in Toulouse, France. This is an old historic city, with quite small houses and a medieval city plan. The site had streets on two sides, a canal on one side, and an artery on the other. I saw that there was a little shopping center right next to the canal, and on the other side there was this other shopping center. You could draw a diagonal and link these two shopping centers—a pedestrian shortcut through the site. If we make the buildings on the two sides of that diagonal, we can make them lower than if we made just one big slab. The area around it is very modest and we don't want it to be over-scaled for what's around. We built it that way and now people use it that way. Of course, there was so much more in the way of design decisions—and I shared in many of those, too.
Naturally, there were some projects that Bob worked on more and others that I worked on more. Sometimes our collaboration was more close than others. But I think our best projects were when we worked together. I remember so many real tousles—and those were the projects that worked out best.
Among other books, you and Mr. Venturi collaborated on Learning From Las Vegas with Steven Izenour—a work that examined the vernacular car-centric architecture and urban planning of the Vegas strip. What were your roles for a project of that nature?
The idea for that book is mine and the methods of teaching the studio [that resulted in the book] are mine. I had not only been once to Las Vegas when I invited Bob, I had been four times. We are all very cognizant of architect-designed places. And then there's Las Vegas. Everyone's flocking there. So I said, "Why aren't we looking at it?" When I first saw the Strip, I was just blown over. It reminded me of Greece. The light was so clear and pure and it reminded me of the fact that the Greek sculptures in Athens had been covered with paint. They weren't Pentelic marble, they were bright colors. And I looked at the bright colors of the signs against the blue, blue sky and I said, "This must be how ancient Greece looked, so let's go learn what this is all about." I wrote the introduction and the bibliographies to the book. But as we got into doing work topics, both Bob and Steve added theirs as well. So they're not all my work topics. But it was all very collaborative.
You've said that the Pritzker and some critics foster a star system that doesn't get at the cooperative nature of architectural work. Why do you think that is?
Where do we make women stars? Movie stars. Opera divas. In a ballet, the male lead is given more praise than the female wife in an architecture team. Why is that? It's very hard to tell why in architecture it is different. Something to do with the fact that you can't define what is good design, and yet architects very livelihood depends on being called a good designer.
The Pritzker is said to be evaluating your case, one that they describe as an "unusual situation." What is your feeling on how this might turn out?
I've talked to [Pritzker executive director] Martha Thorne before about this very issue and she's said the very thing she's saying now: It is a jury and the jury makes the decision. This is a time when they must make some policy decisions. They have to think through where their values are. I've said to her, "I'd really much rather talk with someone in the Pritzker family than talk with the jury."
Women who make demands are often cast as the shrew. How do you feel about that?
Well, I'm used to being a shrew. What are you going to do? I was in Mexico City recently. It was the launch of my book in Spanish, Having Words. I told the assembled group of people there: "When I was a very young student, I was totally lost. That was part of the reason why I left for England, because I didn't know what architecture was about. Now it all seems to be very coherent, but that didn't help me at your age." After the lecture, one young woman came up and she said, "I feel just as lost as you describe yourself feeling. What should I do about it?" And her boyfriend says, "She was really trying to say…" I said, "Wait a minute. It's very kind of you to be so concerned about this woman's problem, but the best thing you can do for her is to let her describe it for herself." If that's the beginning of being a shrew, it's worth being a shrew.
What in your view would be the best outcome for this situation with the Pritzker committee?
My huge reward in life has been that clients of complex projects have trusted me with a design—and then it's come out the way I intended it to be. There are people all over my open spaces, the coffee shops are, in fact, used, the analysis was right, the design was right, the building is successful. Where that's happened, I'm very proud. Another big reward now is that 4,000 people have sent a petition and are expressing outrage. That's a real big reward. That's real validation—as important, at least, as winning the prize.

How is NC as far as CCW?
This is a discussion on May move from FL to NC - what is NC like for CC? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; How is NC as far as CCW? Thanks!...
How is NC as far as CCW?
No carry allowed in any place where alcohol is sold and consumed - bars and most restaurants. No carry in schools, government buildings, post offices, or banks. Must inform officer when stopped. Read the fine print of the law before carrying.
I've heard there are a lot of 'No Firearms Allowed' signs in the big cities, but here in northeastern NC, I could not show you even a single one.
"If we loose Freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the Last Place on Earth!" Ronald Reagan
There are some "off limits" businesses in the larger cities, but overall it's not really that bad.
You can carry concealed in 33 other states with a NC permit.
If stopped or approached by a law officer in NC, you are required to inform him that you have a concealed carry permit and a firearm in your possession.
The permit (which has no photo) and a photo ID (preferably driver's license) must be in your possession at all times when you're carrying a firearm.
"I've run across shooting after shooting where the defender shot a violent aggressor with a .380 and did little to immediately stop his depredations. A good hollow point load in 9mm or .38 Special will, historically, end lethal assaults more quickly."
~ Massad Ayoob
No carry anyplace you have to pay an admission fee. (Think I've got that one right.)
EOD - Initial success or total failure
There are some spots (banks) where you can OC but not CC. I've only seen one "no carry" sign and it was at a jewelry store. No carry at all in hospitals, places where alcohols is bought and consumed, school, government buildings, etc. NC is a must inform state, but honestly I think most LEOs are pretty cool about it here. There is no gun registry in NC but you do need a permit to purchase a handgun from your local Sheriff OR you can use your CCWP as a purchase permit. Yeah, I don't get that either, but there you go.
Well, early WELCOME if you do decide to move here! :) What area are you looking at?
Don't frisk me, I am the weapon.

NRA Member & Pistol Instructor
Sounds mostly like FL laws with big exception to must inform and banks not allowed.
What about state parks? It's OK here to carry in a state park- is NC ok with that?
It's not a choice to move- simply cannot find jobs here...at all.
I'd be staying with my Father in Edenton, NC and from there- not sure. Seems like he lives in an area I'd want CCW.
I may end up in Virgina.
Wherever I can find a full time job first.
The current process of the CC license is run by the local sheriff. Your application time varies widely from county to county, mostly depending on population. You have to take a state mandated 8 hour course which includes shooting although I don't know how they would handle a transfer. And as mentioned above, there are many places that you cannot carry which is a sham! But, we are trying to get some things changed which is being hampered by some liberal legislators.
Don't frisk me, I am the weapon.

I thought NC also had public gathering language on their books?
I visited there last weekend (RDU) and I tell you what. I couldn't wait to get back to Georgia. Way too many dang on rules with respect to concealed carry for my liking.
I think the rules for FL are much easier to live with personally.
2nd Amendment: because personal violence never makes an appointment.
Evil resides in the heart of the individual, not in inanimate objects.
Proud Member of GeorgiaCarry.Org
North Carolina is not awful, but it is one of the less gun friendly states in the south. There are a lot of places that are off limits to CC. On the whole, Virginia is much more gun friendly and has a much shorter list of prohibited places. NC permits are valid in a lot more states than VA permits though.
"The Engine could still smile...it seemed to scare them" -Felix
Thanks for the replies.
Is there no recognition of my FL CCW in NC?
Your Flordia permit is recognized in NC as long as it is a resident permit. You can check out all of the laws on NC at this link. http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/northcarolina.pdf
One of the important but unstated things to consider is that NC does not have a true "castle doctrine" law in effect so tread carefully even in your own home.
To all you current and former military ... thank you for your service! Let no one forget that the sacrifices you have made allow us the freedoms we enjoy.

Gran Habano Habano #3 Gran Robusto Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 6 of 6 reviews
"Good Buy"
Purchased one of these a couple days ago. Beautiful looking cigar, gets your mouth watering however, the wrapper had 2 spots where it was a little loose, weren't a functionality problem though. Finally lit it up tonight, found the burn at first for the first 1" to be a bit uneven. Decent draw, could have been a little bit more free but it really shouldnt be a problem at all. the flavor was definitely a mix, loved the finish though, wait til you get to the end found it creamy and delicious. Considering it's price Range I know I am going to buy a box of 20 in the next day or so.
Trevor in Baton Rouge November 28, 2011
"One Great smoke"
Great taste and burn. One of my favorite sticks.
I've smoked many of these and never a burn problem.
WT in Louisiana February 13, 2010
"Not for me."
Uneven burn; part of the wrapper was loose; had to use a poker to get a decent draw; taste was poor.
in January 19, 2010
"Not bad but"
Burn was great, draw was great. However the taste....not so great. The taste of cedar was overpowering.
Xavier in Georgia August 11, 2009
"Five stars"
I now have smoked the #1, #3, #5, VL variations of this great brand and in my hopefully, cultured opinion, it is the finest tasting and smoking cigar today for the money. It is truly "under the radar" for a lot of cigar stores and sites. I now will stock my humidor with nothing else.
Bill in Midlothian, Va. October 6, 2008
"Great bang for the buck!!"
This is one great cigar in my opinion. I had read and heard some good things about the Gran Habano Habano, and usually I dont put to much stock into what others think...but I took a chance and bought a box of the Gran Robusto...and I am so glad I did!!!!!!!! I wish I would have bought two! I will get some more on my next order from famous smoke!!!

The Kmart store on Market Street in West Smithfield is closing after 34 years.
The store began advertising the closing earlier this month, with roadside signs directing traffic to a going-out-of-business sale. It will close for good in late January.
The store's 59 employees, mostly part-time workers, are eligible for severance pay, said Sears spokesman Chris Bratwaithe. (Sears owns the Kmart brand.)

The beach at Holkham has been used for Naturism since at least the 1930s but out of the blue the Holkham Estate decided to impose a ban. We have been leaving a lot unsaid in the interests of diplomacy. First a quick summary of events so far:
- August 2012. We met with the Holkham Estate and there was no mention of any problem.
- March 2013. Holkham Estate contact BN, supposedly to "consult" regarding a "possible" ban.
- 20 June. Holkham Estate announce a ban.
- 31 July. One month after the ban started. Update.
- 11 August. The beach day on 11 August 2013 went ahead on the planned date but in modified form. It was intended to be a low key way of making a point so it was not promoted as a major demonstration.
- 25 September. Holkham Beach Success. As diplomacy was not having any effect, and due to looming legal deadlines, we commenced the pre-action protocol for judicial review of The Crown Estate decision to ban Naturism on their part of the beach. They backed down within days. The ban on Naturism below mean high water has been lifted.
- 7 October. Press release on the lifting of the ban.
- 30 October. Holkham make a planning application for a large cafe and visitor centre in the middle of one of the largest undeveloped areas in the East of England.
- 6 December. British Naturism make a formal objection to the planning application. Planning application. BN objection. We know that this building development is one of the reasons for the ban, we strongly suspect that it is the real reason.
We have started a mailing list for everyone interested in what is happening regarding the beach. To join please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with SUBSCRIBE in the subject line. Please do all that you can to help, even if it is nothing more than joining British Naturism.
There is members discussion forum.
We hope to create a beach user group. Whether that will be helping the Holkham Estate to combat the problem that they claim is the reason for the ban, or whether it is opposing the Holkham Estate in their attempts to stop people using a beach, well that is up to Holkham Estate.

Drop Those Last 10 Pounds
Eating Smart
By Denise Austin
Special Offers
Remember all those crazy diets you've tried in the past only brown rice, only juice, only protein, only bean sprouts. Sure, you lost a few pounds, but where are those pounds now? They're back. My way of eating is simple, realistic, and not ridiculously strict. On each day, you should try to consume approximately 1,500 calories, divided as follows:
Breakfast: 300 calories
Midmorning snack: 100 calories
Lunch: 400 calories
Midafternoon snack: 200 calories
Dinner: 500 calories
Your body burns calories more efficiently with a balanced diet, so each meal should contain a healthy mix of protein (about 25 percent of total calories), carbohydrates (about 50 percent of calories), and fat (about 25 percent of calories).
Make fiber the foundation of your meal plan: Go for plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans.
As you can see, I've called for three meals and two snacks "grazing" keeps your metabolism operating in top form. (And it's always a good idea to take a multivitamin daily as insurance.)

Why Religious Studies at Macalester?
The courses of the department of religious studies focus on the study of Christianity and Judaism in both their historical and contemporary expressions, and on the major non-Western religious traditions. While the introductory courses are broad in scope, they seek to be selective enough to allow an in-depth encounter with source documents through historical understanding. Methods of instruction include not only lectures and seminars but also opportunities for independent study and individual instruction. The program of the department aims to serve not only students whose academic specialization is religious studies but also students who seek courses that can help unlock the religious dimensions encountered in other disciplines.

Joining booths Barco and projectiondesign shared two booths showcasing their broad portfolio of visualization solutions: from compact and robust to high-lumen, high-contrast projectors, including Barco's new system solution - the SEER1 single channel dome for small environments. In the dedicated Night Vision pavilion, each company exhibited its dedicated Night Vision Goggle stimulated projector, creating great interest from the participants at the show. Exchanging knowledge Underpinning the philosophy of sharing knowledge in the industry and explaining the performance/strong points of the products and where they are best suited, Øyvind Svensen, projectiondesign's optics designer, presented his paper on the topic: "Solid State LED illumination for projection systems". … and sharing food and drinks As always, Barco and projectiondesign did not fail to put on a fantastic hospitality event. This year there were delicacies from both companies' respective countries: Belgium and Norway. On the menu were Belgian beer, fresh Norwegian salmon and Aquavit – all very much welcomed and enjoyed by the participants. Thanks to all who joined us at the ITEC 2013 show!
