- Jia , New York (Posted on 8/29/12)
Rating this was a little hard to wear at first considering that i have never worn contacts before and so it was very dry and I ended up having to take them off half way through the day before my eyes turned really red, but i think i just have really sensitive eyes
after wearing them for a month on and off ( so about 10 day total), i have adjusted to them and they don't bother me at all now
i do have rewetting drops that goes with them so those will help the dryness too
the color is solid black, so on my dark brown eyes, they blend in REALLY well, this can be your starter lens or everyday lens
for me personally, i felt like 14.5 was a little too big for me, i wear very little makeup, so it looks a little alien-ish, because it's both black and enlarging!
i'm happy to answer questions, so just contact me if you have any!~ - Blake, Seattle (Posted on 5/7/12)
Rating I wear Air Optix contacts all the time so I'm used to breathable lenses. This pair is great for a few hours but your eye will get dry quickly.
I have black eyes so the lenses did a good job enlarging my eyes without looking like I'm wearing contacts. The only problem I had was one friend said they made my eyes way too big.
Buy these if you want doll eyes and be sure to carry eye drops. If you don't want to look like a deer caught in the headlights I would go for a smaller lens. - Ana, Croatia (Posted on 3/5/12)
Rating I really like this contact lenses! They look really freaky when I don't have any make-up but some people don't even notice them when I do. Though I do often get asked if I have contacts or something, because they really do make your eyes look unnaturally big, but I like the way it looks. They're also really comfortable, I usually forget that I'm even wearing them.
I'd recommend these if you want that kind of anime-ish big eyes! - Lisanna, Estonia (Posted on 5/7/11)
Rating I really like these circle lenses. They are really comfortable to wear and make my eyes look so big ^^
- Christina, California (Posted on 1/27/11)
Rating Yay! These are so cute! They definitely enlarge your eyes! I think if you want to go for a more dollish look, you should get these or any other black colored one. I got many compliments with these on and my brothers didn't even realize I had contacts in. They only thought I did my makeup, lol. (:
- かおる, France (Posted on 11/27/10)
Rating I love them !
Really enlarge your eyes and make them cuter <3
You look like a doll with this ! Everyone told me this !
I think it makes you a little asian if you are caucasian like me, all people ask me "Are you japanese" when i'm wearing them !
I think it is the best I have never got !
I saw this on blue eyes too and it is AMAZING ! - Rae, Victoria, Canada (Posted on 11/15/10)
Rating These are so beautiful! LOVE THEM <3
I'm caucasian with dark blue eyes and these blend very well into them.
These lenses aren't for everyone though- they make your eyes look huge which works for me, my face structure and my look, but doesn't look natural on most caucasians. - Alison, Minnesota, USA (Posted on 7/6/10)
Rating These are the best black circle lenses ever, hands down. They're super comfy and make your eyes look HUGE! Everyone always comments on how big and pretty my eyes look with these, but you definitely need to wear eyemakeup or you'll look strange.

EP Garbage Truck Goes Up In Flames
WEST EL PASO- A garbage truck driver is recovering from his injuries after his vehicle went up in flames. The driver got out before the truck was completely torched.
El Paso fire crews are trying to figure out just how it happened.
The El Paso Fire Department says that the driver heard a loud pop in the engine, so he pulled over. He got out of the truck, and then the vehicle became completely engulfed in flames.
The truck fire happened shortly after 8 a.m. off of Brentwood Avenue in West El Paso.
The fire department says eight fire trucks responded to the scene, and it took nearly two dozen firefighters to contain the fire.
The driver suffered minor burns to his arm, but fire investigators say it was the driver's quick thinking that prevented more serious injuries.
"Luckily he was on top of his game and he jumped out of that truck quick, and I think that is what prevented further injury. The burns on his arm weren't too bad, so yes he just out pretty quick," said Ralph Reyes with the El Paso Fire Department.
The fire department says they are still investigating what caused the garbage truck to catch fire.

Certification Clearinghouse Pilot
The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), in conjunction with a number of national and state partners, is sponsoring a project to explore how to expand and improve data exchange between industry certification organizations and state longitudinal data systems. The current certification partners include CompTIA and the Manufacturing Institute. The Department of Education is interested in this effort to develop solutions to the issues surrounding state collection of valid and reliable data as industry certifications and licensure are a growing part of the expected outcomes of career and technical education programs. The Department is also interested in interacting with other federal agencies with similar interests, a goal this project will help meet.
Over the next year, the project will focus on raising awareness of the need for improving data exchange as well as conducting a pilot between CompTIA and/or NAM working with up to five states to replicate and expand on the Illinois project over a one-year time period starting in December 2012.

This lovely surname of the three novel-writing sisters, now used as a baby name makes a fitting tribute for lovers of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. While the original name took an umlaut over the e, modern English speakers may find that more trouble than it's worth.
Trivia note: The Anglo-Irish clergyman who was the father of Charlotte, Emily and Anne changed his name from the original Brunty.
Many people first noticed the name in the film Green Card, as the name of the Andie MacDowell character.

Summa Western Reserve Hospital has received the Get With The Guidelines®- Heart Failure Silver Plus Quality Achievement Award from the American Heart Association. The recognition signifies that Summa Western Reserve Hospital has reached impressive benchmarks in the evidence-based treatment of heart failure patients.
"Summa Western Reserve Hospital is committed to delivering the highest level of quality and this is an example of that quality," said Dr. Robert Kent, President and CEO of Summa Western Reserve Hospital. "Our success in doing so is validated by this recognition from the American Heart Association."
Specifically, hospitals awarded the Get With The Guidelines – Heart Failure Silver Plus Quality Achievement Award have accomplished at least 12 consecutive months of 85 percent or higher adherence to all Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure Quality Achievement indicators and at least 12 consecutive months of 75 percent or higher compliance with four of nine Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure Quality Measures for the same reporting period, which are reporting initiatives to measure and improve quality of patient care and outcomes.
Get With The Guidelines is a quality improvement initiative that provides healthcare providers with tools that follow proven evidence-based guidelines and procedures in caring for heart failure patients to improve outcomes, prevent future hospitalizations, and prolong lives.
Using Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure treatment guidelines, heart failure patients are started on aggressive risk-reduction therapies, such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, aspirin, diuretics and anticoagulants in the hospital. They also receive alcohol/drug use and thyroid management counseling as well as referrals for cardiac rehabilitation before being discharged.
"The full implementation of national heart failure guideline recommended care is a critical step in preventing recurrent hospitalizations, prolonging and improving the lives of heart failure patients," said Lee H. Schwamm, M.D., chair of the Get With The Guidelines National Steering Committee and director of the TeleStroke and Acute Stroke Services at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. "The goal of the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines program is to help hospitals like Summa Western Reserve Hospital implement appropriate evidence-based care and protocols that will reduce disability and the number of deaths in these patients Published scientific studies are providing us with more and more evidence that Get With The Guidelines works. Patients are getting the right care they need when they need it. That's resulting in improved survival."
Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure helps Summa Western Reserve Hospital's staff develop and implement acute and secondary prevention guideline processes. The program provides hospitals with a web-based patient management tool, decision support, robust registry, real-time benchmarking capabilities and other performance improvement methodologies toward the goal of enhancing patient outcomes and saving lives.
This high-tech, evidence-based approach enables Summa Western Reserve Hospital to improve the quality of care it provides heart failure patients, save lives and ultimately, reduce healthcare costs by avoiding re-hospitalization.
According to the American Heart Association, about 5.7 million people suffer from heart failure. Statistics also show that, each year, 670,000 new cases are diagnosed and more than 277,000 people will die of heart failure.

The 2005 Harry McDonough Sailing Program is underway and there's still plenty of sailing and racing action left to be done down at the Lagoon.
There are still open slots left for any youngsters, from 8 to 18, willing to learn how to sail. The last class begins August 22. The program is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Those sea enthusiasts who are interested in signing up must complete a one-week class that is held from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Director Greene is hoping to see some of those open slots filled up. Last Sunday at the L Street Bathhouse, registrations were realized, but if anyone is interested, please call the program at 617-268-8556.
In addition to sailing, Save the Harbor, Save the Bay, has made it possible for the sailors to study the local sea habitat. Marine Biologist Jen Smith, along with two other colleagues, is teaching "Fishing 101" at the Lagoon and at other locales.
"We help the kids connect to their environment, studying and trying to understand sea life," said Smith. "We are hoping to create a youth stewardship, so that in the future they will be there to take care of life in the harbor. It's a great program, we have expanded it, and this year I'm here five days a week with the kids."
Racing and windsurfing classes are also available, and at the end of the summer the racing finale and regatta will be held.
Director Greene and his limited crew work hard to meet the demands of this life-enriching program.
But, like elsewhere, funding is down.
So, if you know of any avenues that Director Greene could travel to assist him and the sailing program, please feel free to give him a call.

You can really get a sense of these features in the photo to the right.
While the beams are great, Makeblock has created an impressive array of additional parts. The wheels and treads are extremely robust. There's a nice variety of connector plates. Their online store has page after page of different mechanical parts. All this for a startup that was just Kickstarted last December…

Get AccessAbstract
I describe a method to separate the articles of different authors with the same name. It is based on a distance between any two publications, defined in terms of the probability that they would have as many coincidences if they were drawn at random from all published documents. Articles with a given author name are then clustered according to their distance, so that all articles in a cluster belong very likely to the same author. The method has proven very useful in generating groups of papers that are then selected manually. This simplifies considerably citation analysis when the author publication lists are not available.

He has edited numerous books, among them Committed to Memory: 100 Best Poems to Memorize (The Academy of American Poets and Books & Co./Turtle Point Press, 1996); The Gazer's Spirit (1995); Poems Bewitched and Haunted (2005); Animal Poems (1994); The Library of America's two-volume anthology Nineteenth Century American Poetry (1993); The Essential Rossetti (1990); Poems of Our Moment (1968); Selected Poems of Ben Jonson (1961); and The Wind and the Rain: An Anthology of Poems for Young People (with Harold Bloom, 1961).

He has also written books for children and has collaborated on operatic and lyric works with such composers as Milton Babbitt, George Perle, and Hugo Weisgall.
About his early work, the critic Harold Bloom said, "Hollander's expressive range and direct emotional power attain triumphant expression. I am moved to claim for these poems a vital place in that new Expressionistic mode that begins to sound like the poetry of the Seventies that matters, and that will survive us."
Hollander's many honors include the Bollingen Prize, the Levinson Prize, and the MLA Shaughnessy Medal, as well as fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
A former Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and the current poet laureate of Connecticut, he has taught at Connecticut College, Hunter College, the CUNY Graduate Center, and Yale, where is currently the Sterling Professor emeritus of English.

Ten games that make you think about life. At the start of this year, we decided to come up with a list of Flash casual games with a philosophical bent.
To be honest, we struggled. After days of research, we could only find a handful of games that had the thought-provoking depth we were looking for. Our list (which you can view by clicking here) was therefore only five games long. Fast forward to now, and it is remarkable how much difference a few months can make. A Common Framework for Storytelling in Games. Do games tell stories?
Sure, text, artwork, voice acting and cut-scenes can all arguably tell or help tell a story, but how can you truly say that the game itself is telling the story? And by the game, I mean the actual system, the units and rules that create the possibility for gameplay. Is gameplay a form of storytelling? Maybe not in most games (to avoid the argument), but if we wanted to conceptualize gameplay as storytelling, how would we do it? And if we wanted to make a game that told its story well, what would it take?
Games Studies 0101: Games telling Stories? by Jesper Juul. -A brief note on games and narratives by Jesper Juul Introduction As questions go, this is not a bad one: Do games tell stories?

The Egyptian Version of the Peace Treaty of Ramses II with Hattusilis of Kadesh The Poem of Pentaur |
Cuneiform Version Hieroglyphic Version Ramses II Version The Hittites |
as found on the walls of the Karnak Temple of Amon in Egypt. A clay copy of the Babylonian version was found in Asia Minor. A. The Literary Record Translation
Here beginneth THE VICTORY OF THE KING OF UPPER AND LOWER EGYPT
USIMARE`RE`SETPENRE`, the Son of RE`RA`MESSE-MIAMUN, given life eternally, which he achieved in the land of Khatti, Nahrin, in the land of Arzawa, in Pidasa, in the land of Dardany, in the land of Masa, in the land of Karkisha and Luka, in Carchemish, Kedy, [the] land of Kadesh, in the land of Ugarit, Mushanet. Now his majesty was a youthful lord, active and without his peer; his arms powerful, his heart stout, his strength like Mont at his moment; goodly of form like Atum, one rejoices at seeing his beauty; great of victory over all foreign countries, one knows not when he will begin to fight; a strong wall about his army, their shield on the day of fighting; a bowman without his like; he is braver than hundreds of thousands combined; going ahead and entering in among multitudes, his heart trusting in his strength; powerful of heart in the hour of close combat; like a fir at its time of consuming; firm of heart like a bull ready upon the battlefield; he cares not for all lands combined; a thousand men are unable to stand firm before him; hundreds of thousands are discomfitted at beholding him; inspiring fear; loud of roarings in the hearts of all lands; great of majesty and powerful of renown like Sutekh; ... in the hearts of foreigners; like a savage lion in the valley of desert animals; advancing bravely and returning (only) when he has triumphed face to face; not speaking boastfully; effective of counsel and good of plan; one finds (what one needs) through his first reply; saving his army on the day of fighting; [great protector of] his chariotry; bringing (home) his followers and King of Upper and Lower Egypt Usimare`- setpenre`, the Son of Re`,Ra`messe-miamun, given life.
Now the wretched one of Khatti, together with many foreign countries which were with him, stood concealed and ready to the northeast of the town of Kadesh, but His Majesty was alone by himself with his followers, the army of Amun marching after him, the army of Pre` crossing the ford in the neighborhood south of the town of Shabtuna at a distance of 1 iter from where His Majesty was, the army of Ptah being to the south of the town of Aronama, and the army of Sutekh marching along the road, and His town of Aronama, and the army of Sutekh marching along the road, and His Majesty had made the first battle-force out of all the leaders of his army, and they were upon the shore of the land of Amor. But the wretched Chief of Khatti stood in the midst of the army which was with him and did not come out to fight through fear of His Majesty. But he had sent men and horses exceeding many and multitudionous like the sand, and they were three men on a chariot and they were equipped with all weapons of warfare. They had been made to stand concealed behind the town of Kadesh, and now they came forth from the south side of Kadesh and broke into (?) the army of Pre` in its midst as they were marching and did not know nor were they prepared to fight. Notes & References
[10] In conventional history `r-n-t' is interpreted to be `Orontes'. We must remember that in the Papyrus Sallier dealing with the same campaign the river's name is given as `n-r-t' and that the designations ``r-n-t', `n-r-t', and `p-n-r-t' are found in numerous hieroglyphic documents and could mean either Orontes or Euphrates. We must also remember that the `Orontes river' was called `Typhon' before the 4th century BC according to Strabo, `Geography', transl. M.L.Jones, Vol. XVI, 750. This color enhanced image of the Orontes River at Hamath shows it was not much more than a miller's stream and not the size of a river which would deter the Egyptian army from any battle or escape plans. Egyptians knew large rivers, their own Nile was to them an example of a river, not the Orontes. A river is smaller the closer one gets to its source depending on the number and size of contributory rivers. Hamath was further down-stream than Riblah and therefore the river was probably even smaller at Riblah.

In a revealing new interview, K-Stew dishes on how the biggest movie role of her life has affected her. She claims that all of the changes she's experienced since the 'Twilight' saga began don't get to her, but is she just putting on a tough face? Click to find out!
Kristen Stewart probably knew when she signed on to be Bella Swan in the Twilight movies — her life would never be the same. Talking to the Chicago Sun-Times, the actress reveals just how different her life is now.
Kristen Stewart: 'Bella Didn't Stick With Me'
Though Kristen says that "Bella didn't stick with me more than any other character," she acknowledges that she's probably in the minority in feeling that way.
"There are people who so genuinely love the Twilight movies and books that they've said, 'Every single time I see you in a movie, you're still Bella to me.'" Think about it — that's pretty weird. For the rest of her life, Kristen will only be thought of as a fictional character — a girl who fell in love with a vampire and knew werewolves.
Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson, Or Bella Swan & Edward Cullen?
This unique state of things is what led to Kristen receiving so much hate and venom in the days following her cheating scandal with director Ruper Sanders and split from Robert Pattinson. People reacted as if she sullied a sacred relationship — Bella isn't supposed to cheat on Edward!
Twilight director Bill Condon commented on the problem back during the scandal's height: "The fact is, these are actors playing parts, and maybe it's not such a bad thing that people be reminded of that."
Kristen Stewart: How She Deals With Being Bella
Amazingly, Kristen still asserts, "It doesn't bother me."
But she also admits that Twilight has caused her to have a chip on her shoulder: "I do think people assume that I'm Bella. I have to prove to them that I can do other things and that she was just a character."
That has to be the best attitude someone in her position can have — she doesn't let it bring her down, she lets it motivate her. We're proud of you, K-Stew!

I don't think even one of the kids who started in the Twilight movies had any idea that it would become so popular. They all acted a little shell-shocked at the first press intro. They didn't go into it knowing that their lives would be so changed. They all said the same thing at the various interviews and seemed very overwhelmed by the hordes of screaming fans, etc.
Don't understand Kristen's terror of the ppz – if she hasn't done or said anything wrong there really isn't anything to worry about. So they take her picture coming and going from her various outings, so what! People will get tired of it all eventually and move on to something more interesting. I'd put up with a little of it for 55 million dollars earned in one year.

Kristen has done an AMAZING job as Bella Swan. Doesn't mean she's stuck forever as Bella though. She's a super talented actress who can handle challenging roles well, and should never be typecasted. She's in the beginning of her career and is probably going to play roles that are COMPLETELY different from Bella's. We will always remember how great she was as Bella Swan and other characters (Snow White, Marylou, Melinda etc), and let her move on and do other things that make her feel good.

how it should be
Summer, that is.
Fields. Bare feet. Summer cottages. Sauna. Rowing. Stained fingers. Blueberries. Stunning light. Finland. Sigh.
as the wind moved east
we moved west
shore gone, lake here
salty bodies colliding
with rusted water.
sweat dripped from my forehead,
and as i lay on the dock,
i lost track of time,
my eyes widening
like small blueberries.
you swallowed summer's heat,
i untied the rowboat,
and we both let go.
I'm back in Helsinki and will be sharing photos throughout the next few days from my trip up north to Jyväskylä. This poem is from my journal.
it's just the best
I've been in Jyväskylä for a few days now and in Finland for about six days. Everything has been perfect. I missed so much about Finland, even the little things that I forgot about are good to see and feel. Things about Finland that I love:
+ going to sauna
+ running to the lake right after sauna
+ the feeling of pores opening up right after sauna, just as the cool air hits
+ the summer cottage
+ birch trees
+ blueberries
+ the wonderful people
+ walking and bicycling anywhere
+ wonderful shopping and ice cream
+ cured salmon
+ rye bread
I have taken many, many pictures so far and will be in Helsinki soon to upload them. See you then.
moi moi, usa!
Saying goodbye to the U.S. today! I'm off to Helsinki, then on Sunday I'll be in Jyväskylä. I can't wait! See you later America and hello Finland!
Sanon tänään näkemiin Yhdysvalloille! Menen Helsinkiin ja sitten sunnuntaina olen lähdössä Jyväskylään. En malta odottaa! Hei hei Jenkki ja moi Suomi!
randoms from the weekend
It was a good weekend and a good start to July. It was hiking, picnicking, and sightseeing. It was taking a breath after being a bit stressed with packing and leaving. Hoping next weekend will be just as lovely, too.
In my preparations for many long plane rides, I also noticed that I'll need some new music to listen to during layovers and three flights. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Lemon Shrimp with Asparagus and Angel HairWe really liked this recipe. We like things spicy so would add more red pepper. Something to be aware of: be sure to make only the amount of pasta called for in the recipe. I made more not realizing that it would get mixed together with the sauce, so it was less flavorful than it should have been. Even with that it was still delicious and easy. Just thought I'd mention this for future cooks. — Rolex 6/30/2014 |
Ginger and Cilantro Baked TilapiaOh my goodness this was a delicious recipe. I could eat it every week! My husband added a jalapeno for a bit of kick. We used the paste type of garlic and ginger, the kind that comes in a tube in the produce section. I think that allowed the flavors to permeate the fish better. — iacovettamaguire 6/21/2014 |
Grilled Chicken Breast with Garlic Lemon MarinadeIt was good and helped the chicken be perfectly tender which is a plus, but it wasn't high in flavor. Next time I'd try something with more spice. — 6/20/2014 |
Best Pumpkin Soup EverGreat delicious recipe. I added a leek instead of one of the onions per the comments of another reviewer and it was pure heaven. You would never think you were eating health food. Plus it was decently easy to prepare. — MissMmm 10/29/2013 |
Gingered Turkey with Potatoes and Chick PeasVery tasty for a quick weeknight meal. A few notes: 1) turkey cutlets were impossible to find, so I just used a thicker type of raw turkey and cut it in thinner slices and it worked fine. 2) We found that there were too many potatoes, and that they needed to be cut in smaller pieces. 3) The spices are excellent if you like ginger. We did not, however, think that the whole recipe was as flavorful as it could have been because the turkey and spices get cooked together and then the rest gets added. We're thinking it will be better day 2 when everything is coated with seasoning. — tyson 10/15/2013 |
Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken)This was less rich and intense than I was expecting. The ingredient list calls for tomato purée not sauce, but the recipe says sauce. Maybe sauce would help. I also think the rice matters and I made mine too watery, so that could be part of the problem. — RexBoyle 8/9/2013 |
Pasta: Gnocchi with Asparagus and PancettaThis was delicious and fairly quick and healthy. — katehandel 6/29/2013 |
Olive Garden Zuppa ToscanaThis is a very good recipe. Could not find italian sausage so I used andouille. This mod worked fine. I like it spicy so when I make it again I will double the red pepper. — gordonsgrub 1/31/2013 |
Spicy 7 Bean SoupMade broth from Better Than Bouillon Ham and added a little too much which made it a little salty. Make sure you follow your broth instructions closely. — Heatherina 10/9/2012 |
Chicken Tortilla Soup ala Steve— stevemur 4/3/2012 |
Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (crockpot)Has good flavor, but even better with some cajun seasoning or Red Hot sprinkled on top — 3/23/2012 |
Lemon and Garlic Shrimp— TimGa 7/14/2010 |
Corn, Cilantro and Black Bean Soup (Mf)I would make it again if modified. It needed extra lime juice, lots of cayenne, and was better in our opinion with pimento but without sour cream. I also think it would be better without chicken. — 12/25/2009 |
Corn, Ham and Potato ScallopA Nice Quick Meal. It was delicious with cheese on top and a some Red Hot — 12/25/2009 |
Lucys Salmon SoupI left out the dill, which neither my husband nor I care for. It was a great way to use some cans of stuff we needed to use. It did take a bit longer than expected because it took the potatoes a while to cook, so budget for that. — ememkai 10/14/2009 |
Southwest Cactus SaladJust excellent. The tangy lime cactus flavor and easy prep makes this a regular favorite. I would recommend saving time by chopping the veggies in a food processor. So quick and easy. — 10/6/2009 |
Andouille Sausage Soup with Kale— 11/28/2008 |
STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB FOOLIt was good. However, note that the recipe does not say what to do with the strawberries. I decided to cook the rhubarb and add the strawberries at the end after turning off the heat, refrigerating them together. This was based on other recipes I found. It worked fine. — JGG 6/17/2007 |
Cajun FettuccineI would add more cajun seasoning to the sauce while cooking, and also sprinkle liberally on finished dish. Might also add salt if cajun/creole seasoning is salt free. — 3/26/2007 |
Heartland Fiesta Whole Wheat Organic SpaghettiThis had excellent flavor. My one comment is that you might want to experiment with using less pasta, or mixing pasta individually based on amount of sauce preferred. For us, it didn't quite have enough sauce. But it was still delicious, and a good way to sneak in some whole grains without giving up flavor. [I posted this recipe.] — Heatherina 3/24/2007 |

Editor's Review
The Wit hotel takes advantage of its real estate with a posh rooftop bar.
The crowd at Roof is young--patrons text when they aren't admiring the view from the 27th floor. The 7,000-square-foot lounge has three bars and views of the theater district and Millennium Park. Cloud-white furniture surrounds two fire pits. Patrons can choose from 20 small plates, including baby beets with ricotta salata and almonds ($11) and grilled lamb burgerstopped with mint-cucumber dressing ($13). Private parties can reserve "the hangover," a glass-enclosed area with a table for eight that dangles, Sears Tower-ledge-style, over the street.

BOSTON – Thursday, March 22, 2012 – Furthering the effort to increase transparency and accountability in the Commonwealth's public housing system, the Patrick-Murray Administration's Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) today announced key findings and recommendations following their review of local housing authority (LHA) contracts and salaries. The proposed action steps call for implementing a required standard contract, disallowing unreasonable terms and requiring LHAs to report total executive director compensation in their annual budgets.
"I look forward to implementing the action steps proposed in the report to increase transparency in public housing and further protect taxpayer dollars," said Department of Housing and Community Development Undersecretary Aaron Gornstein. "Public housing is an invaluable resource to many Massachusetts residents and the Patrick-Murray Administration is committed to maintaining our housing stock while ensuring the system is run with integrity."
In November 2011, Governor Deval Patrick called for the review of all LHA executive director salaries and contracts following reports that the Chelsea Housing Authority Executive Director and Board had intentionally misrepresented the executive director's salary to DHCD. DHCD requested that all LHAs submit information on their budgets, executive director salaries, year-end financial certifications and any existing executive director contract.
After analyzing the submissions, DHCD compiled a report outlining their salary analysis and contract review. The report includes median, minimum and maximum salaries by housing authority size, results of a salary and contract comparison and findings from a comprehensive contract clause review. The required standard contract would define total compensation, incorporate clauses encouraging a beneficial employment relationship and disallow unreasonable terms and automatic term renewals.
VIEW THE REPORT: http://www.mass.gov/hed/local-housing-authority-salary-and-contract-report.pdf
Governor Patrick called for a series of reforms with the release of the FY2013 budget proposal, DHCD has begun to implement some of the reforms administratively, including requiring LHAs to report the top five management salaries, setting maximum compensation for executive directors and limiting executive directors with dual contracts to the hour and salary equivalent of one full-time position.
LHAs are independent entities and each is governed by a five-member board that is responsible for oversight. The boards consist of one gubernatorial appointee and four locally elected or appointed members.
Governor Patrick also signed an Executive Order forming a Commission on Housing Authority Governance Reform. The 60-day Commission, to be chaired by Undersecretary Gornstein, will meet for the first time on April 11th to begin discussing the public housing management and governance structure and determine possible regional efficiencies. The Commission includes the following members:
- Susan Bonner, Tenant Commissioner, Nahant Housing Authority
- Jack Cooper, Massachusetts Union of Public Housing Tenants
- Senator Sal DiDomenico
- Colleen Doherty, Executive Director, Taunton Housing Authority
- Doreen Donovan, Corcoran Jennison Management
- Rebecca Deusser, Executive Office of Administration and Finance
- Annette Duke, Massachusetts Law Reform Institute
- Senator James Eldridge
- Barbara Fields, Regional Administrator, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
- Lizbeth Heyer, Associate Director, Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development
- Representative Russell Holmes
- Representative Kevin Honan
- Diana Kelly, Maloney Properties
- Tim Mahoney, Laborer's Council
- Steve Merritt, Executive Director, Norwood Housing Authority
- Representative George Ross
- James Stockard, Harvard University, Graduate School of Design
- Senator Bruce Tarr
- Mayor Thatcher Kezer, Town of Amesbury
- Jeffrey Sacks, Commissioner, Newton Housing Authority
- Carl Valente, Town of Lexington
- Clark Ziegler, Massachusetts Housing Partnership

Post Up Your Weekley Edits
Thought it would be sick to have a little section where people can throw up video's since the seasons starting and everyone and their dog has a go-pro or something to record with. Throw up your little edits as the season goes on so we all got a place to see recent stuff! I'll start. A little fun pre-season session, jibbing at this rezoning area in my city last weekend

The gentleman featured in this week's Daily Carry has a set of pens that make for an astounding collection, let alone just as daily carry pens. It makes you wonder what he's hiding in his actual collection! "El Esquire", as we'll refer him, did send us a very special pen to review which will make its appearance very soon. For now, lets take a look at El Esquire's Daily Carry and how he uses them.
From here on out, all the text is directly from El Esquire.
Daily Carry (from left to right)
Lamy 2000, 0.3 mm nib ground by Greg Minuskin – Filled with Rohrer & Klinger, Blau-Schwarz LE. My very first fountain pen paired with my favorite blue-black. Greg's grind transformed this pen into what I imagine EF nibs should be like.
Edison Custom Extended Pearl, Purple Web Celluloid, steel 0.7 mm stub ground by Brian Gray – Filled with Parker Penman Sapphire. My first custom made pen. The fit and finish of Brian's pens make them a real pleasure to use.
Stipula Twister, 14k M nib – Filled with De Atramentis Giuseppe Verdi. If I didn't know any better I'd say this was inspired by vintage cable twist designs. Very cool how the resin becomes gradually more clear and the engraved spiral becomes sharper and deeper as it approaches the top of the cap. Even the clip's finish shifts from rough at the bottom and smooth at the top. The power/vacuum filling system's aesthetic also fits the pen well.
Shawn Newton custom in Burning Sunset poly resin, 0.6 mm stub ground by Shawn Newton – Filled with Diamine Ochre. An awesome pen and an awesome nib from an awesome pen maker. Has he been canonized yet for all the fountain pens he's made for his students and setting up a scholarship funded by a portion of his pen sales?
Sheaffer PFM I, Palladium Silver F nib – Filled with Montblanc Hitchcock Red. My one successful attempt so far to purchase a pen from Richard Binder's monthly tray. The nib certainly lives up to his stellar reputation. The snorkel filling system is also tied for the coolest filling system ever.
Wahl-Eversharp Skyline in Carbon Fiber, F to M ceramic coated semi-flex black steel nib – Filled with J. Herbin Cacao du Bresil. An unapologetically modern take on a classic design and a real pleasure to write with. Here's hoping the re-invigorated Wahl-Eversharp releases a carbon fiber Doric with an adjustable #10 nib.
Conway Stewart 58, Tiger Eye, 14k M Duro 58 nib – Filled with Akkerman #6 Binnenhof Blues. Fantastic pattern. Someone needs to reverse engineer this material.
Pelikan M800 Tortoise, 18k F stub ground by Greg Minuskin – Filled with Montblanc Toffee Brown. Second favorite Pelikan of all time, coupled with a nice smooth nib that still lets me write quickly.
Omas Milord Bronze Arco, 18k 0.6 mm stub ground by John Mottishaw – Filled with Rohrer & Klinger, Blau-Schwarz. The step between the section and barrel is not as comfortable as the last generation of Paragons and Milords. John's incredible nib work has a way of making me forget about that though.
Bexley Owner's Club 2006, 18k M nib – Filled with Pelikan Edelstein Topaz. This grey and blue Tibaldi celluloid is my favorite material. Paired with a vacumatic filling system? Irresistible.
Nakaya Decapod Twist in Ao-Tamenuri, 14k ruthenium plated 0.6 mm stub ground by John Mottishaw – Filled with De Atramentis Plum. Gracefully twisting/Ten warm urushi facets/For your hand only.
Conid Bulk Filler Flat Top, 18k rhodium plated 0.7 mm stub – Filled with Akkerman #5 Shocking Blue. This pen was engineered to be used and ties with the snorkel for the "coolest filling system" crown.
I carry my pens around in a Franklin-Christoph Penvelope Six and a Visconti Dreamtouch 6-pen case.
I use my daily carry at work for note taking during countless meetings, friendly letter writing, and journaling. The Lamy 2000 has a permanent spot in my daily carry since it was my first fountain pen. I had a difficult time deciding whether to purchase it because I'd never considered owning a pen that cost more than five bucks before. I think it's fair to say that my experience with it and getting to know more about the hobby through sites like FPGeeks helped change my outlook on writing tools dramatically for the better though.
The pleasure of note taking with a variety of fountain pens and inks helps keep me sane during long meetings. I have my own note-taking system that uses different colored inks, nib sizes, and stub grinds to visually differentiate between sections and sub-sections. For example, I prefer to use larger nibs and stubs for section headers and finer nibs for bullet points underneath. Using contrasting inks between sections also helps visually separate ideas, concepts, and follow-up items. I tend to stick with Rhodia dot pads and a Midori Travelers Journal for note taking and journaling.
For letter writing I prefer expressive nibs and inks with nice shading and hopefully some sheen to go along with it. I have a small stack of Tomoe River paper that I'm saving just for correspondence. I also enjoy switching inks when writing new journal entries.
I'm not too concerned about matching inks perfectly to the pen but some pairings just cry out, like the Pelikan M800 Tortoise with Montblanc Toffee Brown or the Nakaya Decapod Twist in Ao-Tamenuri with De Atramentis Plum, which is a very dark blue-green.
I have around 80 bottles of ink, many of them open thanks to a terrible habit of cycling through different colors pretty frequently although good majority of my pens will have some shade of blue or blue-black ink in them. I think I'm cursed with falling for inks that are either limited runs or simply no longer made. Fortunately I've never had SITB problems and use a few TWSBI inkwells to "decant" the inks.

Celebrate Brassens' Birthday at Barbès with Pierre de Gaillande and guests. Sat Oct 22d. 10pm
Listen to Pierre on NPR's Weekend Edition
Listen to Pierre on PRI's The World
Watch Pierre and Brassens' original guitarist live at 92Y this past December.
"Ever since I was a child, my father, who is now a French professor living in Los Angeles, was a fan of Brassens.
I grew up hearing his music around the house constantly. Growing up in California with a French father and an American mother, I was always stuck between two
cultures, and striving to understand what it meant to be French. To a large extent, the music and philosophy of Brassens defined "Frenchness" for me. As I get older,
I realize that these ideals have informed and guided me throughout life. The idea for this translation came to me
when my father sent me a translation of one of Brassens'
texts and asked me to put it to music."
Pierre de Gaillande
George Brassens
""He [Brassens] is both a national outcast and hero in France, yet most of us don't know him on this side of the Channel. His lyrics were more subversive than Dylan or
the Sex Pistols and he wrote better tunes than either."
Alex Kapranos, of Franz Ferdinand.
PIerre de Gaillande
Sings Georges Brassens
From the1950's through the late 70's, the late George Brassens redefined French Chanson. He was an anarchist bard whose songs were sometimes raunchy, sometimes polemic, often poignant, and always steeped in classic French poetry - from Françcois Villon to Appolinaire and Aragon.
George Brassens went on to become one the most emblematic French singer of the 20th century, setting a new standard for every French songwriter that came after him, indlucing Serge Gainsbourg and of course, Jacques Brel, his peer and close friend. Unlike Brel or Gainsbourg however, his songs never became known outside of France, mostly because of the literary aspect of his lyrics.
Franco-American singer and composer Pierre de Gaillande grew up in Paris and Southern California, listening, among other things, to his dad's extensive Brassens collection. Pierre went on to play in american indie bands - He moved to NY and played bass with the Morning Glories, played guitar with Vic Chestnut and toured Russia with his own band, Melomane. He has also worked as a film composer.
In the past couple of years, Pierre also rediscovered his dad's record collection and developed a mild obsession with George Brassens. He has taken on the impossible task of translating Brassens' songs, to pretty astonishing results. He has stuck to the rhyming scheme and verse length of the original songs, thus matching the melodies perfectly. He has re-arranged the music with a cinematic sensibility, using a combination of guitars, clarinets, lapsteel and charango.
What he has come up with sounds nothing like a translated work. He has managed the impossible - to translate not only the style, content and wit of the original, but he has also managed to somehow translate the musicality of the original recordings with completely different arrangements. The best way to describe the project would be to compare it to the perfect movie adaptation of a book classic. Think Stanley Kubrick or Raoul Ruiz.
Along with the CD, a book of his translations will be published by Ugly Duckling Presse.
