"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is set circa 1790 in the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, New York, in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a lean, lanky, and extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and sole child of a wealthy farmer. As Crane leaves a party, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, who is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War, and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head."

Thoreau wrote this classic essay to advocate public resistance to the laws and acts of government that he considered unjust. The practical application of Civil Disobedience was largely ignored until the twentieth century when, at different times, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and anti-Vietnam War activists applied Thoreau's principles.

text: Hello AIMHO: On behalf of the Awards and Recognition Committee, we wanted to send a quick note to let you know about recognition opportunities that are coming up throughout the month of October. Sorry that this is coming a few days into the month, but training, opening and the holiday weekend caught up a little bit. Take care and remember that recognition can happen in many ways. October is… - Breast Cancer Awareness Month - Cookie Month - Domestic Violence Awareness Month - Diversity Awareness Month - GLBT Awareness Month - National Disability Employment Month - German-American Heritage Month - National Italian-American Heritage Month - National Mental Illness Awareness Month - Polish-American Heritage Month Weekly Celebrations: - Week of October 3-7: Customer Service Week & Getting Organized Week - Week of October 10-14: Fire Prevention Week & Pet Peeve Week - Week of October 10-14: National Coming Out Week October 1: World Vegetarian Day World Vegetarian Day encourages us all to eat our vegetables and fruits. Countless studies have proven that a diet filled with fruits and vegetables is good for our health. Vegetarians, have taken this path either for their health, or from a conviction that they should not eat, and therefore, kill animals. A vegetarian, by definition, eats no meat. That includes fish and other forms of seafood. Bottom line is, a vegetarian eats no animal. Their diet consists of plants....fruits and vegetables. They are ethically and morally opposed to killing animals for food. They are also against poor treatment of animals at farms ad slaughterhouses. There are plenty of groups and organizations that support the vegetarian effort. If you are considering becoming a vegetarian, a quick web search, or a look up in your local phone directory should produce a group near you. While you are online, check out the wide range of sites offering vegetarian recipes. This day is used to promote awareness of the issues, and encourages others to become vegetarians. Seeing as fruits and vegetables are very healthy for you, World Vegetarian Day is a good day to try a vegetarian diet. You might just be surprised at how good it tastes, too. October 2: National Custodial Worker Day National Custodial Workers Day is today. Give your custodial worker a big thanks. At your school, church, place of employment, and a variety of other places, your custodial support are silently at work all year long. They are the workers who clean and keep in good repair, the facility that you enjoy. They seldom get recognition. They are usually in the background or "behind" the scene. Take a minute on this day, to seek out custodial workers at your facility. Give them a big "TY" for all that they do to keep the facility sparkling and running like a top. If you are a custodial worker, we wish you a very happy National Custodial Workers Day! October 5: National Do Something Nice Day Today is Do Something Nice Day. Go ahead, do something nice, anything nice. And, do it to, or for, another individual. It won't hurt......we promise. Doing something nice for someone almost always evokes a very pleasant response. At the very least, it results in a smile. More likely, that person will do something nice to, or for you. And, best of all, doing something nice just might be contagious. In keeping with the spirit of this day, set a goal to do something nice for someone. Perhaps, you can do this for several people. Then, sit back and watch the results! October 5: World Teacher Day Teachers deserve a little recognition, and some thanks and appreciation. Aside from parents and direct family, who else has as much influence on the hearts ann minds of a child... your child? Teachers not only educate, but they help to shape and frame your child's beliefs, values, and behaviors. Parents and students are encouraged to offer thanks and recognition today. A simple "thanks", or an ecard is sufficient. BTW: An apple a day may keep the doctor away. But, teachers love to get apples. If you are a teacher, Happy World Teacher Day! October 7: World Smile Day World Smile Day celebrates the ever popular yellow smiley. It also offers us an opportunity to do an act of kindness. According to the World Smile Day website, a proclamation of this day was made by the U.S. Congress. Now that should put a smiley on your face. The smiley face became so popular, that the U.S. Post Office issued a stamp with the smiley face. The intent of World Smile Day is to do an act of kindness, or help one person to smile. Why not do both!? The yellow smiley stands brightly smiling upon this day, offering it's stamp of approval. October 8: Yom Kippur Beginning at sunset on Tishri 9 and lasting until three stars appear after Tishri 10, Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. The observance is also known as the Day of Atonement since the events of Yom Kippur focus on asking and granting forgiveness for one's transgressions. Yom Kippur falls at the end of the ten Days of Penitence which begin with Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Judgment. Jews attend services at a synagogue or temple on the eve and day of Yom Kippur. The Kol Nidre, a prayer which asks forgiveness of sins, is recited on the eve. Prayers which emphasize cleansing of the soul are recited during the day services. Congregants mourning family members who died in the past year recite Yiskor prayers in which God's forgiveness is asked for the deceased. On Yom Kippur, Jews perform no work and abstain from food, drink, and sex. Laws about Yom Kippur are found in Leviticus 16, Leviticus 23:16-32, Leviticus 25:9, and in Numbers 29:7-11. October 10: Columbus Day For decades and decades, American history books and school teaching told us that Christopher Columbus discovered America. What those books and teachings did not give credit to was the fact that Native Americans were already here first and truly discovered America. It also gave little mention to the fact that Nordic explorers had travelled down the eastern cost of Canada thousands of years earlier. Today, we celebrate Columbus day for what it accurately is. Columbus did discover the existence of the New World for Europeans who until then, believed the world was flat and ended somewhere in the Atlantic. And, the focus is more upon discovery of the "New World", and less upon Columbus himself. Did You Know? Columbus day is sometimes referred to as "Discoverer's Day". October 11: National Coming Out Day National Coming Out Day is an international event which gives gay, lesbian and bisexual people the opportunity to "come out" to others about their sexuality. It also provides a means of increasing the visibility of gay people. In the United States, the day is facilitated by the Human Rights Campaign's National Coming Out Project (NCOP). The first National Coming Out Day was held on October 11, 1988. This date was chosen for the annual event in commemoration of the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. It also marks the anniversary of the first visit of the AIDS Memorial Quilt to Washington, D. C. Many communities and college campuses sponsor activities such as dances, film festivals, workshops, literature booths, and rallies on National Coming Out Day. October 13-19: Sukkot Sukkot, also known as Feast of Booths or Feast of Tabernacles, begins at sunset the day before the 15th day of Tishri in the Hebrew calendar and lasts for seven days. Only the first two days are celebrated as full holidays. The word Sukkot means 'booth' and recalls the time that Israelites wandered in the desert during their journey to the promised land and lived in the sukkots. Sukkot is the third Pilgrimage festival mentioned in the Old Testament and is a holiday of joy and happiness. It is observed by the building of a temporary dwelling (Vayikra 23: 42-43: "In booths you are to dwell for seven days ...so that your generations will know that I caused the children of Israel to dwell in booths when I took them from the land of Egypt....") and by the gathering of four plants (Vayikra 23:40: "And you shall take for yourself on the first day the fruit of a goodly tree, branches of palm trees, the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before Hashem...for seven days."). On the seventh day, the four plants are paraded around the synagogue in a celebration called Hoshana Rabba, or Great Hosanna. Sukkot also signifies a thanksgiving for the harvest. In keeping with this, the temporary dwellings are decorated with fruits of the land. October 16: Boss's Day Now here is a day that gives you a chance to both tell and show the boss what you really think of him or her. And, to give your boss the appreciation that he or she truely deserves. So go right ahead and give it to him.....give it to him good! After all, it only comes around once a year. What Makes a Good Boss? Here are some attributes people say make for the best boss: Fair Honest Understanding Approachable A good communicator History: The origin of Bosses Day dates back to 1958. Patricia Bays Haroski, an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Illinois, registered it with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Haroski chose the date because it was her father's birthday. Who was her boss? ....her father. October 19: Simchat Torah Simhat Torah (Tishri 23) literally means "rejoicing in the Torah" and represents the culmination of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret. It is a joyous celebration which concludes the annual cycle of the reading of the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. During the evening of Simhat Torah, the last chapter of Devarim (Deuteronomy) is read aloud by the Bridegroom of the Law. Afterward, the scrolls of the Torah are removed from the Ark for seven hakafot or processions around the Synagogue. Singing children, and sometimes adults, follow the processional with banners and candles. The next morning, after another processional, the Bridegroom of the Beginning reads the opening verses of Bereshis (Genesis). This continuous reading of the Torah demonstrates that there is no end to the Torah. Simhat Torah is celebrated concurrently with Shemini Atzeret by most Reform Jews. Orthodox and Conservative Jews celebrate the holidays separately. October 20: Shemini Atzere Shemini Atzeret occurs on the day after the seven day festival of Sukkot. It falls on Tishri 22 in the Hebrew Calendar beginning at sunset the night before and is generally translated as "the eighth day of assembly". The Talmud declares the eighth day as a separate holiday and one dedicated to the love of God. References to the celebration can be found in Bamidbar [Numbers] 29:35 ("On the eighth day you shall hold a solemn gathering; you shall not work at your occupations"). In ancient Israel, Shemini Atzeret coincided with the beginning of the rainy season. Accordingly, prayers for rain (Tefillat geshem) and good crops were recited. Many Orthodox Jews still recite the ancient prayers at this time. Shemini Atzeret is celebrated concurrently with Simhat Torah by most Reform Jews. Orthodox and Conservative Jews celebrate the holidays separately. October 22: Make a Difference Day Initiated in 1990, this is a national day is for devoted to helping others by doing volunteer work in the community. The activity can be almost anything. Millions of Americans participate in community improvement projects. It takes the form of cleanup, fixup, painting, and repair in poorer neighborhoods, parks and municipal facilities. It doesn't matter what project you take on. It doesn't matter whether you help a non-profit organization, the community, your town, nursing home, a church, a food kitchen, or any other group in need. What matters is that you participate. Make a commitment to help others for just one day. Make a difference on Make a Difference Day! Did You Know? Each year on Make a Difference Day, ex-President Jimmie Carter gets out his hammer and saw ,and helps to build or rebuild housing in underprivileged areas. There is not better example of people helping others than this! October 26-30: Diwali Diwali is a five day Hindu festival which occurs on the fifteenth day of Kartika. Diwali means "rows of lighted lamps" and the celebration is often referred to as the Festival of Lights. During this time, homes are thoroughly cleaned and windows are opened to welcome Laksmi, goddess of wealth. Candles and lamps are lit as a greeting to Laksmi. Gifts are exchanged and festive meals are prepared during Diwali. The celebration means as much to Hindus as Christmas does to Christians. Because there are many regions in India, there are many manifestations of the Diwali festival. In at least one area, the festival begins with Dhanteras, a day set aside to worship Laksmi. In the Indian culture, wealth is not viewed as a corruptive power. Instead, a wealthy person is considered to have been rewarded for good deeds of a past life. On the second day Kali, the goddess of Strength, is worshipped. This day also focuses on abolishing laziness and evil. On the third day (the last day of the year in the lunar calendar), lamps are lighted and shine brightly in every home. The lamp symbolizes knowledge and encourages reflection upon the purpose of each day in the festival. The goal is to remember the purpose throughout the year. The fourth day of Diwali falls on the first day of the lunar New Year. At this time, old business accounts are settled and new books are opened. The books are worshipped in a special ceremony and participants are encouraged to remove anger, hate, and jealousy from their lives. On the final day (Balipratipada) of the festival, Bali, an ancient Indian king, is recalled. Bali destroyed the centuries old philosophies of the society. However, in addition to this, he is remembered for being a generous person. Thus, the focus of this day is to see the good in others, including enemies. Because there is no one universally accepted Hindu calendar, this holiday may be celebrated on a different date in some parts of India, but it always falls in the months of October or November. October 31: Halloween It's absolutely Halloween. And, Halloween is absolutely the best holiday of the year.

I was looking for a quilt that would be lighter weight for summer. I had shopped the outlet stores but had trouble finding one with matching king pillow shams. I also did not want a traditional patchwork quilt. This one is just what I was looking for at a reasonable price. The colors are good with our dark brown furniture and gold tone carpet and blanket. I even kept the black and gold bed skirt on and it blends well. We have blinds but no curtains in the room so the pattern is a welcome addition to brighten up the whole room. I washed it before using and it came out great. Took extra drying time because of the king size but no shrinkage or wrinkling. Very comfy and will look forward to using it every summer.
This quilt arrived quickly. The color is very much the same as it appears on the website. The fabric quality is good. The quilt is sufficiently large to use with a thick mattress. I had seen this same quilt on other websites but Overstock.com had the best price.
The overall product is good, lighter weight than expected from a King quilt however the biggest problem was the background was a dirty beige color not a cream background as my computer color showed. The background is more taupe and looks too drab for my bedroom. Even the teal and terracotta color designs did not make this a bright and clean looking quilt.
The colors are very close to the picture but it surprised me that the background is more of an antique off-white. I actually like it better. This the most gorgeous bed cover I've ever had and it is very very retro. I have chocolate brown and gold accent pillows and it's perfect.
I wish it was a little softer but for $XXX bucks the quality can't be beat. Exactly what I wanted. I love this pattern. As some of the reviews state it is a little darker than it looks in the photos, but still very nice look.
I love the pattern of this quilt set so much. I ordered the Katy Cotton Pillow Shams to go with it and it pairs so nicely. Very comfortable, soft, and warm. I love the earthy colors of it.
Nice quality, nice bright colors. We bought the matching drapes also.
I don't know how long this quilt will last as it's new but it appears well made and looks nice. The only thing I'd add is that in the photo, the color looks cream for the background when it's really tan. I am keeping it anyway because I like the design.
I ordered this quilt for my Mother in Law who lives at a memory care facility. The weight is comfortable and it has retained a fresh look despite numerous washings with industrial equipment. Very pretty fabric in colors that made her feel immediately at home when she first saw it!
Really warmed up the room. Great set for a good price. Makes me happy to look in the room and see it.

Lafayette is a little slice of Paris in NoHo. | Courtesy of Lafayette

380 Lafayette St., NoHo (212) 533-3000 lafayetteny.comSeated at one of the bistro tables on the sidewalk outside Lafayette, gazing at stylish shoppers on their way to nearby Bond Street and SoHo, you might feel like you're in Paris: everything here is a little better-looking than you're used to, the food coming out of the kitchen is traditional but expertly prepared, and, among your fellow diners, there's a pervasive sense of entitlement to wine and a long meal. Lafayette's leg-up? Well, this isn't Paris, which means the service is better.

Mr. Tycho Brahe observes: We must, as conscious beings, observe when we are told things that are strategically lathed not to inform us but to make us fight with one another.
"We stopped at two nuclear bombs"
That is the most optimistic thing I've read all week. It hasn't been a century yet, the time for the third bomb is coming.
I see this thinking a lot, but I honestly don't understand how you can meaningfully compare something you've done with something you haven't.
Practice doing it, and soon you'll be able to do it accurately yourself. Think of a typical website.....the content is different, but the structure is just a bunch of pages, storing stuff in a database, maybe doing some authentication. A difficult project would be inventing a new algorithm. That's rare, and working on projects that are completely unrelated to anything you've done before is equally rare.
If you're working on a two-week sprint, by practicing and noticing how accurate your estimates were, then within two months you'll find that 80% of your estimates are accurate.
Caveat emptor: if you have a manager constantly pushing to make your estimates shorter, then learning to make accurate estimates is very hard.
Agreed. The problem is, they don't listen.
You are not responsible to meet any estimates you don't make. If your manager makes your estimate, let him meet it.
That's a bad example because that's almost never my criteria
Yeah, but you're just some guy.
You must be working in a shop that does the same thing over and over again, year after year.
No. I don't think many people work in that kind of shop.
No excuses. Don't use that as an excuse for bad estimates, it's something you can improve.
Can you even IMAGINE Microsoft saying that 15 years ago? 10 years ago?
Yes, think of the standard pattern:
1) Embrace.
2) Extend.
3) Extinguish.
This fits perfectly in the pattern, it is an echo of "Developers, developers, developers!", it is exactly what you would expect from Microsoft when they realize they are back to the Embrace step.
This is a very insightful post
Good managers are almost as rare as honest politicians.
Then teach your manager to be better. Reject the corporate structure (it may shift many times while you work at a company, even though not much else changes. That is an indication it's not particularly real), accept that improvement can come from even the lowliest programmer, and then help your manager do better.
If you think that your manager is completely bad in every way, you're not going to be able to help him. You need to be honest, recognize his strengths, and help him overcome his weaknesses.
You'll probably also need to overcome some of your own weaknesses, unless you are perfect. I can tell you one way to not accomplish anything: start a twitter campaign telling the world how bad your boss is. That will not make your system better.
People do not predict well and it is not smart to use it against them.
You can improve. Most programming we do is boring, and similar to something we've done before. For things like that, you should be able to make your estimates reasonably accurate.
Sometimes projects have large unknowns, and it's impossible to know how long it will take. In that case you need to propagate that information up to the people who need it, either managers or salespeople or whatever.
Networking is still painfully slow compared to iOS.
I'm not sure I understand this point, in my experience, the network on Android is as fast as the network on iOS. What am I missing?

Website Load Time
Website load time is an important factor, because Google is taking the site's loading speed into consideration in determining its ranking. Even though this will not have a big impact, it is still something we (webmasters) should really look into. The reason is pretty simple – the majority of visitors are usually in a rush and no one is fond of waiting half a century before the website finally loads its content or fails to load. At the last check on 2014-01-06, website load time was 0.54. The highest load time is 1.27, the lowest load time is 0.54, the average load time is 0.90.

2009 Dodge Grand Caravan C/V 4dr Minivan (3.3L 6cyl 4A)
Bought this one the first day of the bailout when Chrysler said they'd match the C4C money. Traded in my 86 Vanagon and got a $29K van for $17,5. I never thought I'd buy a chrysler product and really loved my VW, but there were a lot of things that needed fixing and with a new baby I wanted something safer for her. I test drove the Japanese and Korean vans and I can't see why anyone would pay 2X as much for one of them. Stow and Go is the single greatest feature. I've already hauled full sheets of plywood in the van and also carried 7 people on a moments notice. We'll see what happens in terms of reliability but I've driven 2 1000 mile trips and it's been great.

From Our Editors
Teaching hips to swivel to new circumferences, dance instructors impart their masterful moves unto students in the respected tradition Arthur Murray has upheld since 1912. Students dance with a partner, or the instructor, who provides a greater understanding of the dance style of their choosing with either method. Protégés may find their new moves applicable in a number of settings, such as when prepping for a wedding dance or blending into an airport crowd that breaks out in a cha-cha. Embodying the three-count time of a stately waltz brings partners in close; rumba moves and swing steps add vibrancy and playfulness to one's repertoire. Arthur Murray Dance Centers provide a warm, aesthetically sound environment for engaging in private and group dance lessons superbly suited to slicing and dicing a rug until it is no longer recognizable.

Elwes has signed a deal to pen a behind-the-scenes book titled "As You Wish: Tales From The Princess Bride." It will include his personal recollections of filming the movie, as well as interviews with co-stars Robin Wright and Billy Crystal and a foreword by director Rob Reiner.
"The Princess Bride" celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, and the cast and crew gathered for a special screening at the New York Film Festival. At the time, Elwes admitted he hadn't seen the movie since it premiered in 1987, but called it "just perfect."
"As You Wish: Tales From The Princess Bride" is due out in 2014.

Devils acquire Kovalchuk I'm from NY, and I'm a big Devils fan so I'm really excited about this trade. Kovy's been one of my favorite players over the last 5 years, so I'm elated that Lamoriello added him. I think he got a great deal adding one the elite goal scorers in the NHL while holding onto our two top prospects Tedenby and Jacobsen. It's not a terrible haul for Atlanta, as Bergfors has the potential to be a good 2nd line winger that can score around 25-30 goals a year, Oduya is a good 3rd/4th defenseman with some good wheels, and Cormier is a pretty promising young center who could turn into a solid 2nd line center. But the Devils are the clear winners in this trade getting a superstar in Kovalchuk, and he is exactly what they need to boost their scoring struggles and power play. I can't wait to see his lethal shot on the power play and his overall playmaking ability on a nightly basis in NJ. I know there was a lot of talk on the radio in Boston (Felger and Mazz, DA, etc.) about Kovalchuk and the Bruins. Now that he's off the market who do you Bruins fans have your sights set on? I know some of you have to be disappointed that the Bruins didn't make an offer comparable to this. You have to think Boston has some similar pieces that they could've given up like a Wideman and Wheeler. Do you guys think the Devils will be able to re-sign Kovalchuk or do you think they strictly see him as a rental? I kind of agree with Melrose that I think you might see the Devils make a push to sign him. I'd love to keep him around and continue to build this team around him. I think the rejecting of the deal with Atlanta had more to do with wanting to get out of Atlanta rather than the money because 12 years 100 million is a crazy amount of money to reject. I think he wanted to be able to explore free agency and go to a winning environment. I know NJ isn't always an attractive place for free agents, but we've been one of the most successful franchises in sports over the past 15 years. Lamoriello usually doesn't like to tie up a ton of money in one player, but I'm hoping he makes an exception this one time for someone who I feel is worth top dollar. :singing:
This was all about the future for the Bruins...they didn't give up their three draft picks they got from the Kessel trade, they didn't give up their young stud goaltender nor their rising stars...they keep what they had and the guys they lose in the offseason will be replaced by their own guys they control for several more years and their top 3 draft pick. I am never a fan of mortgaging the farm to try to get over the hump when your problem is health...the Bruins can't stay healthy and no matter how hot the guy is if he is the only one on offense scoring they can't win. They did the right thing for the team keeping their picks and youngsters and building up what will be a winning team.

Introducing Smart Mapping
We want to introduce you to Smart Mapping, an exciting new capability built into the March 2015 update to ArcGIS Online. Smart mapping is designed to give people confidence and power to quickly make maps that are visually stunning and useful. This makes it easier than ever for you to create attractive maps, maps that tell important stories. Here's more about what we added and what you can expect when you try smart mapping.
We added new ways to symbolize your data, 'smart' defaults, and data-driven workflows to the ArcGIS Online map viewer. Continuous color ramps and proportional symbols, improved categorical mapping, heat maps, and new ways to use transparency effects to show additional details about your data are all now delivered via a streamlined and updated user interface.
But smart mapping is more than just new kinds of maps (as exciting as those are!). To power this experience, we've articulated and then programmed in deep cartographic first principles that become a set of interconnected 'smart' defaults that create data-driven workflows. Continue reading

Announcing the new Community Maps Documentation Center
After more than two years, the venerable Community Maps Resource Center is getting an upgrade. This means more and better organized resources to help you join and participate in the growing Living Atlas community.
The first thing you will notice when visiting the new documentation center is that the look and feel is consistent with other ArcGIS documentation collections, with a blue, tabbed navigation bar at the top and a Home page that contains quick links to the documentation topics and other resources, including videos, blog posts and our Living Atlas of the World Discussion Group on GeoNet.
The documentation categories step you through all of the facets of Esri Community Maps membership – from a detailed explanation of how the program works and who is currently participating, to instructions on how to contribute your Living Atlas content and take advantage of the published products to build useful applications. There is even a comprehensive library of support resources to help answer your questions.
One of the more noticeable and important enhancements in this site is the expanded information on the variety of data layers accepted by Esri Community Maps. Where the former resource center focused almost solely on basemap layers, the new doc center includes details on how to contribute to other Living Atlas themes, such as imagery, elevation and hydrology.
Of course, the new site also includes updated documentation on the entire Community Maps contribution process, from applying and preparing your content, to uploading and reviewing it prior to publishing in the Living Atlas of the World.
This documentation, which incorporates the new Data Preparation Tools workshop, will ensure that all Community Maps members have the information they need to be successful contributors.
So visit the new Community Maps Documentation Center soon, and explore all of resources it has to offer. And remember, if there is something you need that is not there, let us know.

Dinner Monday night near Ground Zero - suggestion?
- 4
- Follow
Any suggestions? My wife and I will be having dinner with my brother. He's not a foodie, so we're looking for something fairly upscale with good straight-forward food. We're looking for higher than a pub, but lower than somewhere you would feel the need for a sport coat.
Any thoughts?
Are you willing to travel a little bit? Because there aren't much to choose from near Ground Zero other than Les Halles (a french bistro that has very inconsistent food and service). However, if you are will to go to W. Broadway (a few blocks), then there are Landmarc and Upstairs at Bouley. If you go south to Stone Street there is Smorgas Chef for Scandanavian food. At South Street Seaport there is MarkJoseph Steakhouse. Of course there are some "old" standbys like Delmonico's, Faunces Tavern. Other than that most of the places are small joints for pizza or ethnic food.
0 -
Definitely Landmarc. It's only a short (less than 8 blocks) walk from Ground Zero, up West Broadway... but they don't take reservations so if you arrive during peak brunch time on the weekends, or after 7 any other night, be prepared for a wait (but it's worth it!).
0 -
I agree about going to W.Bway instead of the immediate GZ vicinity, although I do like Les Halles. Odeon is another solid option on W.Bway.

Dear Amy:
My first husband was abusive to me during our marriage, to the point that even after he was escorted from our home by the police and given a restraining order, he continued to stalk and threaten me. I remarried a wonderful man who adopted and raised my children. My (now-adult) children recently reconciled with their biological father. They say that unless he is drinking, he is okay. They admit he is an alcoholic but claim he only gets drunk a few times a year. I have not seen him in 20 years and am still afraid of him. They want to invite him to their family events, stating that they can keep us on opposite sides of the room. I still have nightmares about him and would prefer to absent myself from these occasions rather than risk a confrontation with him. Am I wrong? Fearful Given the circumstances, nothing you choose to do is wrong. It is not only logical, but an important, potentially lifesaving human response to stay away from an individual who is dangerous to you. There is an argument to be made that you may reclaim your power in some way by confronting this fear, but this choice is not for anyone but you to make. The opposite side of this argument is that you are plenty powerful by choosing to stay away from someone who has abused and stalked you. I give you credit for reclaiming and rebuilding your life. Your kids are in no position to gauge this mans behavior or the effect of his alcohol use. The idea that you would somehow be safe if he is kept on the other side of the room is bunk. It simply discounts the very rational fear response toward danger. Your children have every right to have a relationship with their father, but you have a right to keep your distance. Let them know that you expect them to notify you if their father will be present at a family event. Dear Amy: I hope you can help regarding a recent altercation I had with another woman. Recently my husband and I decided to take our two young boys (ages 4 and 5) to our local museum. When we arrived, my husband dropped the three of us off at the entrance of the building while he parked the car. Once inside, my boys needed to use the restroom, so I took them to the womens room with me. Afterward, we began to exit past a long line of women. One of them, a lady perhaps in her 70s, made a loud comment regarding how inappropriate it was to have boys in the ladies room. My temper immediately flared, and I countered by telling her that you dont send a 4- and a 5-year-old into a mens public bathroom by themselves in such a busy place. As a mother, I am not comfortable with the idea of such young boys using urinals alongside strange men without a parent present, nor am I comfortable leaving them unattended outside the ladies room when I need to use it. When there are family restrooms available, we always use them, but many places dont offer this convenience. Was I wrong? I cant possibly put my children in what I consider to be a potentially risky situation at their ages, but should I have been more tolerant of this womans feelings? A Frustrated Parent You educated this older woman about appropriate and safe behavior regarding your children. You only need to forgive her for being intolerant and rude toward you. Waiting in a long line for the womens room has a way of making women grouchy. |

Official website | oscars.org |
Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role is one of the Academy Awards of merit presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to recognize an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance while working within the film industry. Prior to the 49th Academy Awards ceremony (1976), this award was known as the Academy Award of Merit for Performance by an Actress. However, since its inception, the award has commonly been referred to as the Oscar for Best Actress. While actresses are nominated for this award by Academy members who are actors and actresses themselves, winners are selected by the Academy membership as a whole.
Throughout the past 86 years, accounting for ties and repeat winners, AMPAS has presented a total of 87 Best Actress awards to 72 different actresses. Winners of this Academy Award of Merit receive the familiar Oscar statuette, depicting a gold-plated knight holding a crusader's sword and standing on a reel of film. The first recipient was Janet Gaynor, who was honored at the 1st Academy Awards ceremony (1929) for her performances in Seventh Heaven, Street Angel, and Sunrise. The most recent recipient was Cate Blanchett, who was honored at the 86th Academy Awards ceremony (2013) for her performance in Blue Jasmine.
In the first three years of the Academy Awards, individuals such as actors and directors were nominated as the best in their categories. Then all of their work during the qualifying period (as many as three films, in some cases) was listed after the award. However, during the 3rd Academy Awards ceremony (1930), only one of those films was cited in each winner's final award, even though each of the acting winners had had two films following their names on the ballots. For the 4th Academy Awards ceremony (1931), this unwieldy and confusing system was replaced by the current system in which an actress is nominated for a specific performance in a single film. Such nominations are limited to five per year. Until the 8th Academy Awards ceremony (1936), nominations for the Best Actress award were intended to include all actresses, whether the performance was in either a leading or supporting role. However, at the 9th Academy Awards ceremony (1937), the Best Supporting Actress category was specifically introduced as a distinct award following complaints that the single Best Actress category necessarily favored leading performers with the most screen time. Currently, Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role, Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, and Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role constitute the four Academy Awards of Merit for acting annually presented by AMPAS.
Actors have also received special awards, or Academy Honorary Awards, for acting in specific films (such as in the case of James Baskett, who received a special honorary award for Disney's Song of the South). Child actors have also been awarded the Academy Juvenile Award.
Following the Academy's practice, the films below are listed by year of their Los Angeles qualifying run, which is usually (but not always) the film's year of release. For example, the Oscar for Best Actress of 1999 was announced during the award ceremony held in 2000.
For the first six ceremonies, the eligibility period spanned two calendar years. For example, the 2nd Academy Awards presented on April 3, 1930, recognized films that were released between August 1, 1928 and July 31, 1929. Starting with the 7th Academy Awards, held in 1935, the period of eligibility became the full previous calendar year from January 1 to December 31.
Winners are listed first in colored row, followed by the other nominees.

In 2001 Donald A. Redelmeier and Sheldon M. Singh published a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine in which they found the following:
"Winning an Academy Award was associated with a large gain in life expectancy for actors and actresses... Winning an Academy Award can increase a performer's stature and may add to their longevity. The absolute difference in life expectancy is about equal to the societal consequence of curing all cancers in all people for all time (22, 23). Moreover, movie stars who have won multiple Academy Awards have a survival advantage of 6.0 years (CI, 0.7 to 11.3 years) over performers with multiple films but no victories. Formal education is not the only way to improve health, and strict poverty is not the only way to worsen health. The main implication is that higher status may be linked to lower mortality rates even at very impressive levels of achievement."[1]
The authors performed an updated analysis to 29 March 2006 in which they found 122 more individuals and 144 more deaths since their first publication. Their unadjusted analysis showed a smaller survival advantage of 3.6 years for winners compared to their fellow nominees and costars in the films in which their performance garnered them their award.[2] However, in a 2006 published study by Marie-Pierre Sylvestre, MSc, Ella Huszti, MSc, and James A. Hanley, PhD, the authors found:
"The statistical method used to derive this statistically significant difference gave winners an unfair advantage because it credited an Oscar winner's years of life before winning toward survival subsequent to winning. When the authors of the current article reanalyzed the data using methods that avoided this "immortal time" bias, the survival advantage was closer to 1 year and was not statistically significant. The bias in Redelmeier and Singh's study is not limited to longevity comparisons of persons who reach different ranks within their profession."[3]
As the Academy Awards are based in the United States and are centered on the Hollywood film industry, the majority of Academy Award winners have been Americans. Nonetheless, there is significant international presence at the awards, as evidenced by the following list of winners for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
There have been two years in which all four of the top acting Academy Awards were presented to non-Americans.
^ *Bette Davis has ten nominations. Her performance in Of Human Bondage was not nominated for an Oscar. Several influential people at the time campaigned to have her name included on the list, so for that year (and the following year also) the Academy relaxed its rules and allowed a write-in vote. Technically this meant that any performance was eligible; however, the Academy does not officially recognize this as a nomination for Davis.
Note: Ingrid Bergman, Cate Blanchett, Helen Hayes, Jessica Lange, Maggie Smith and Meryl Streep have won Oscars in both the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories, while Dianne Wiest and Shelley Winters have both won two Best Supporting Actress Oscars.
Meryl Streep
Katharine Hepburn
Bette Davis
Geraldine Page
Twenty three of the two-time nominees received both nominations for Best Supporting Actress. All three nominations received by Cooper, Holm, Ladd, Lansbury, Revere, Tomei, Trevor and Wiest, as well as all four received by Barrymore, Grant, and Moorehead and all six received by Ritter, were also all in the Supporting Actress category.
Including non-acting categories Barbra Streisand has a total of five Oscar nominations, winning two, Best Actress (1968) & Best Original Song (1976). Emma Thompson has also received a total of five nominations, winning two, Best Actress (1992) & Best Adapted Screenplay (1995). Dyan Cannon and Shirley MacLaine have both received one additional nomination in a non-acting category, while Ruth Gordon has received three.

Beating Hunger Pangs
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise. Ephesians 5:15 (NIV)
Ever been in a food emergency? When your blood sugar starts to drop, you are hard-wired to eat anything (and everything) in sight. To think you can use willpower to control your hunger or cravings contradicts the science of how your brain controls your behavior. Food emergencies lead you to choose poor quality, high-sugar, refined foods and eat more than you need.
The solution to avoid a food emergency is a simple, practical idea that most of us never think about: planning. Start your day with a healthy balanced breakfast, eat every three to four hours, hydrate your body throughout the day, and stock an emergency food kit that you take with you in the car, to work, and on errands.

Relax and rejuvinate in our 24 foot diameter yurt, overlooking the Carmel River and Big Sur Land Trust Songbird Sanctuary. The sounds of the river, the birds and the rustling trees will lull you to sleep after a soak under the stars in your private hot tub. We call it "glamping" - glamorous camping. This unique getaway is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast and for active folks who won't mind a 100 FOOT STROLL TO THE MAIN HOUSE TO USE THE SHOWER AND RESTROOM. We are conveniently located less than 5 miles East of Hwy 1 and close to just about everything on the Monterey Peninsula: 10 minutes to Carmel-by-the-Sea, 20 minutes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, 10 minutes to Carmel Valley Village, 20 minutes to Laguna Seca and Fort Ord National Monument, and 35 minutes to Big Sur- a logistical dream. There is also a public bus stop at the top of our driveway! As a bonus, if you are staying in the yurt for 2 or more nights we offer 2 free passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium- an $80 value. Spas- Carmel Refuge (2 mi) , Esalen (45.5 mi), Tassajara Zen Center (43.5 mi) World Class Cycling (Sea Otter Classic) World Class Mountain Biking (Sea Otter Classic) Hiking (Point Lobos, Garland Park, & Big Sur) Surfing Kayaking Wine Tasting Fine dining

Looking out toward the Carmel River.
Our stay with Pete and Peg was nothing short of wonderful. They're both incredibly warm and welcoming and made sure we had everything we could possibly need while ensuring privacy and quiet. The yurt itself is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. We loved being lulled to sleep by sounds of the river and local wildlife.
Despite a rainy weekend, staying in and enjoying coffee while listening to the rain or watching a movie on the projector was wonderfully relaxing. The location was perfect for day trips to Monterey and Big Sur and close to lots of great restaurants and shopping in Carmel.
A unique and lovely experience - can't wait to return!
This place was amazing, and Pete and Peg were the most pleasant, accommodating, and happy hosts. The yurt (say that again, yurt. YURT!) was certainly unique, and I'm not sure how it's possible, but I'm fairly certain it's larger on the inside than it is on the outside. A wonderful time, and I can't wait to start recommending this place to anyone I can.
Pete and Peggy were fantastic!
Not only was the property great, but they add so many additional and personal touches that the overall experience is something to remember.
If you're planning a trip to this area - you should definitely stay here.
My boyfriend and I had such an incredible experience staying at the yurt! Pete and Peg were so kind and welcoming, and had great advice about which parks to visit and where to eat in Big Sur. The yurt was beautifully decorated, complete with a projection screen and an outdoor hot tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day of hiking. Surrounded by a scenic landscape, the yurt was a serene, nature-filled getaway. Thanks again for being such accommodating hosts!
The property was as beautiful as described and Pete & Peg were more accommodating than you can imagine. This is a special place and we had a great night there after driving around Big Sur for the day. Can't wait to hopefully return someday.
We had such a lovely stay! Pete & Peggy thought of everything - great attention to detail. Everything you'd need is there and they're great hosts & very kind people. The yurt is very nicely decorated and the kids had a fun time running around the grass & picking flowers!
We could not have asked for more thoughtful hosts! Pete and Peggy provided everything from guide books to Monterey county hikes to reviews for local restaurants and extra jackets. Their entire property is so beautiful, we actually saw a bunny running across the lawn our first morning! Our whole group is now just yurt-ning to return.
My wife, Peggy, and I have lived on this property since 1984 and have never fallen out of love with it. It is the perfect combination of a rural setting yet only 10 minutes away from town. We are outdoor enthusiasts and have many wonderful family memories of not only camping by the river but of backcountry excursions as well. It was on one of these adventures, in Oregon to be exact, that Peg and our two daughters discovered yurts. They rented one at an Oregon State campground and truly loved the experience. Having a yurt on our property has added even more of a sense of serenity and peace to our home. It is with this in mind that we want to share it with others. There's something uniquely appealing and comforting, a feeling of being embraced by the round space and the abundance of natural light that lends itself to living close to nature. We welcome you to give it a try.
