We haven't been on much this month - Coy's unavailable/moving to a different timezone and I'm completely buried...BUT slowly making it out from under the pile. Here are a few things we've done over the past few weeks (Blitzkrieg Brewery & the Apestar are still in progress)
that first one is bad ass. one day .... one day I'm going to get you to make mine.
The gorilla star is a great design.
They're all really good, but I think I like Moonlight Rock the best, well done! Regards, GF.
Maybe have to get you to help me out in the future as well. Please PM me your rates.
Great designs!
Thanks for the kind words guys! Irregular Pulse - PM sent!
Josh, as a creative director, I'm impressed with your stuff! Some fine illustration work as well, on the one you did for Copper Cat. Well done!
Thanks ubermick! As a full-time freelance illustrator/designer, I'm always in need of a client - so...you know...just throwing that out there... I do non-brew illustration when I'm not working on BBC logos...the background research just isn't as fun.
Any idea when Coy will be back in action? I have been in the cue since April.

Mediterranean Chicken Stew
From Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
Browning the chicken adds another layer of flavor to this hearty stew. Cook it in two batches to ensure that the chicken browns properly and doesn't steam. The caramelization on the chicken and on the bottom of the pan is what flavors the stew.

[2.0.2]Bug fixes
App Description
Share Anytime is a team collaboration app which allows users to co-edit a document together in real time. Share Anytime acts as an interactive whiteboard for team note taking and document sharing with active participants connected electronically around the world. With Share Anytime, team managers can conduct project collaboration either in real time or as users "check in" to virtual meeting sessions. Participants can join the meeting whenever they open the delivered "share note", and their contributions will be displayed in real time.In addition to sharing text documents, Share Anytime allows participants to also mash-up handwriting, sketches, images, photographs, and content captured directly from web-pages. Within a virtual meeting environment, Share Anytime helps meeting participants communicate efficiently through a built-in chat feature, permitting discussions to take place without a voice connection or the need to switch in and out of apps.
Share Anytime is based on MetaMoJi's award-winning note taking app "Note Anytime". Note Anytime combines PDF annotation, note taking and & vector graphic sketching within a powerful, scalable whitespace. You can combine handwritten or typed notes with photos and graphics on various paper styles, add sketches and drawings, scale your paper up to a whiteboard or down to a sticky note, and share your work by email and social networks or send to Evernote and Dropbox. Share Anytime meeting participants will have all of these powerful tools within a shared collaborative environment.
Typical "pixel" whiteboard sharing apps are unable to cater to the volume of content that is created in a typical brainstorming session. With Share Anytime, meetings can be conducted in a vast and scalable white space.
The Free version does not include add-ons to access to "Share Service" which is able to create and distribute share notes to participants. However, you can organize limited number or volume of meetings.
Share Anytime is being released on iOS initially but will follow the common vision of availability on all major mobile platforms – as achieved by Note Anytime.
Key Uses:
Business managers will find that Share Anytime supports task assignments, time-managed deadlines, presentation slides, white-boarding and shared calendars and scheduling in sales, training and instructional environments.
Community leaders will use Share Anytime to support emergency response, monitor resource management, support law enforcement, and manage public hearings.
Teachers from elementary classroom to university lecture levels will use Share Anytime to present new material, encourage discussion and participation, drill and test lessons at a rapid pace with a cooperative, linked classroom.
Sports directors will use Share Anytime for coaching, team monitoring, game documentation, score capture and competitive analysis.
Handwriting Recognition - mazec3 (13 languages)
Converts handwritten text to typed text on the fly or later with this conversion engine.
Share Service
There is no Share Service options to organize meetings as in the paid version.
With this app, however, you can hold 10 meetings or meetings within 1GB of meeting quota.
We'd love to hear your feedback and feature requests.

Standard of Living Better in SA: Stats SA
Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) poor South Africans enjoy a better standard of living compared to their counterparts in many other countries.
The latest figures released by Statistics South Africa puts the country's extreme poverty line at R26 a day per person.
This is almost double the international line for extreme poverty, at about R14 per day. Lack of proper housing, malnutrition and hunger are some of the characteristics of poverty.

According to the deputy minister for Women's Affairs and Social Welfare, Virgilio Mateus, chronic malnutrition affects 43 percent of Mozambican children under the age of five.
Speaking at the launch of a report by the United Nations Children's Fund, Mateus says the figure is an improvement from 2013, where 48 percent of all children under five were suffering from chronic malnutrition.
He recognises that malnutrition constitutes a threat to the survival and to the healthy development of children and that greater efforts are needed to improve the well-being of Mozambican children.

African leaders and development officials say that poorly-fed children rob Africa of up to 16 percent of its potential growth, making investment in programmes to end malnutrition as critical to the continent's future as building bridges and roads.
According to World Bank and United Nations reports, almost half all child deaths in Africa are caused by inadequate food and it is the underlying cause of many diseases, yet approaches to tackling health and child nutrition are disjointed and uncoordinated, limiting their impact.
Meanwhile, World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim, at an event on the sidelines of the United States-Africa Leaders Summit, explained that, "Every child stunted is GDP [gross domestic product] growth that is left on the table."

Namibia Hard-Hit by Drought
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) says that desert-hardy Namibians, overwhelmed by the worst drought to hit their country in 30 years, are surviving off wild fruits with no harvest in sight until March 2014.
IFRC's Hanna Butler, who recently visited Kunene, one of the worst hit regions in northern Namibia, points out that, "A lot of the people I met had nothing in their food stores, absolutely nothing."
Butler warns that the crisis is set to worsen since Namibia only has one harvest a year and the next is not due until March 2014.

The Centre for International Research on Forests (CIFOR) says that malnutrition could be greatly reduced and food security improved by ensuring improved access to nutrient-rich forest-derived foods like berries, bushmeat, roots, insects and nuts for the world's poorest populations.
CIFOR's nutritionist and researcher, Bronwen Powell, points out that, "I believe forest foods are particularly important for reducing malnutrition when it comes to micronutrients such as vitamin A and iron."
In the same vein, Monica Ayieko, a family and consumer economist and an edible insect researcher at Maseno University, argues that the westernisation of diets has made people to associate wild foods with poverty, adding that, "It is a pity because so many children die as a result of nutrient deficiency, yet these are abundant in wild foods."

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) says that child malnutrition would decrease by 25 percent if babies were fed only breast milk in the first six months.
Speaking at the launch of Save the Children's report, 'A life free of hunger: Tackling Child Nutrition', UNICEF nutrition specialist, Chantell Witten, said that about 70 percent of babies are being fed solids at two months old.
Witten stated that South Africa has the lowest proportion of breast feeding mothers in the world. She further states that most mothers feed their babies with formula milk because they are in a rush to return to work after giving birth.

Save the Children has warned that half-a-billion children will be stunted over the next 15 years, if child malnutrition is tackled head-on.
Save the Children's regional health and HIV advisor, David Sanders, points out that, "The rising of food prices is the main cause of malnutrition."
Sanders maintains that the government must prioritise nutrition and outline the clear lines of responsibility.

Interview with Mohamed Somane Abdi, MSF Assistant Project Coordinator, Marere, southern Somalia.
The drought has affected us badly. Marere used to be a farming area but there has been no harvest now for more than two years. You can see the effects of the drought right here in our hospital, where numbers of patients in our inpatient feeding centre have doubled.
Last night, 80 under-fives with severe malnutrition stayed in the hospital, while we were treating a further 443 children as outpatients.
"Hunger and destitution..."
There are many others who are simply in the hospital because they have nothing to eat and nowhere else to go.
They are malnourished and destitute, and they come here to be fed and to be treated – free of charge, of course.
There is a lot of hunger and destitution as a result of the drought.
The past two weeks have seen increasing numbers of children coming to the hospital in a bad state. Most have travelled very long distances, which has only made their situation worse.
Some of the severely malnourished children have bodies so swollen you'd think they were about to burst.
"We didn't give up..."
We rescued one young boy, who was just one year old, from the town of Dinsor, 160 km from the hospital.
We sent our car to collect the child and his mother, and when he was brought to the hospital he was in an unbelievable state: he had swelled up and most of his skin had cracked as a result of the malnutrition.
As you can imagine, his mother was not expecting much, but we didn't give up on him.
It is now four weeks since we brought him here and his skin is healing, the swelling has subsided and he is healthy and very happy. His mother is over the moon, as any mother would be.
And this child is not alone; we see so many cases like this every day that I can't even remember all of their names.
"The hospital is overflowing with patients..."
We are also seeing severely malnourished pregnant women in our maternity department. On top of that, we are seeing between 250 and 300 people – not including children – in our outpatient department every day, most of whom are malnourished.
Unfortunately, many also come to us with secondary illnesses, to which malnutrition has made them particularly susceptible.
In the hospital, the other departments are also overflowing with patients. In the 30-bed inpatient department, we have 43 patients, 23 of whom are under five. And in our TB department we have another 131 patients.
"You hear stories of parents having to leave their children..." We also have outreach centres in the area, where we are currently treating 112 children under the age of five.
In a town 38 km from our hospital, we have another outreach centre where 50 under-fives are receiving treatment.
One of the many places our teams visit is Jilib, which is 18 km away, where there is a camp with more than 1 400 internally displaced people, most of them women and young children.
When you speak to the mothers and the few fathers there, you hear stories of parents having to leave their children on the side of the road because they were too malnourished and weak to walk any further.
"We are the only help they have..."
We are the only help they have – there are no other groups or organisations helping these people. When we go there we act both as a clinic and a feeding centre.
Recently MSF handed out plastic sheets for making temporary homes, mosquito nets, because the area is filled with mosquitoes, and soap, to more than 1 201 families.
Now they have some protection from the heat of the sun and the chills of the night, and can rest in the shade without mosquitoes feeding off them.
"People come from far away for help..."
Our hospital here in Marere is a large one, and we do much more than just treating patients. We assist in any other way we can and, because people hear about what we doing, the numbers increase and people come from far away for help.
MSF is the only help here, and we help everyone, no matter what. If MSF wasn't here, the situation would be extremely dire.
It's possible that no one would be left alive, as all those that could escape would have run away and the rest would simply have perished.

This week, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has sent medical teams and four charter planes carrying 55 tons of medical equipment, medicines and therapeutic food to Mogadishu in response to the crisis in Somalia. In the past weeks, an estimated 100 000 people have fled from south and central Somalia to the capital to seek assistance. They are settling in numerous camps in and around Mogadishu, with little or no access to health care.
MSF has started measles vaccination campaigns in dozens of makeshift camps where thousands of people have gathered after fleeing the exceptional drought and the violence in other parts of the country. Almost 3 000 children were vaccinated so far.
Around 1 000 children have been screened for malnutrition. More than half of them were indeed malnourished.
"MSF is extremely worried about the situation of the displaced. The situation is critical. MSF has begun reinforcing its operations in Mogadishu and is assessing areas around the capital in order to adequately respond to this crisis," said Dr Unni Karunakara, International President of MSF.
Through a mobile clinic, MSF staff provides medical care to around 100 patients daily. The teams are also distributing relief items, such as hygiene materials and plastic sheeting for temporary shelter.
Since years MSF has been providing medical care in the capital, through health facilities in Daynile and Darkheley where more than 370 medical consultations were provided last week. To address the increasing medical needs, MSF will open inpatient therapeutic feeding centres, a measles treatment unit as well as a 50-beds cholera treatment centre in Mogadishu in the coming days.
MSF has worked continuously in Somalia since 1991 and currently provides free medical care in eight regions. Over 1 400 Somali staff, supported by approximately 100 staff in Nairobi, provide free primary healthcare, surgery, treatment for malnutrition, as well as support to displaced people through health care, water supply and relief items distributions in nine locations in south and central Somalia.
MSF is also providing medical care to Somali refugees in Kenya (Dagahaley and Ifo camps) and Ethiopia (Liben). In Dagahaley camp, MSF is the sole provider of medical care for the 130 000 people and currently treating 6 400 children for malnutrition. In Ifo, MSF provides medical care to the 25 000 refugees gathered on the outskirts of the camp. In Liben, MSF is providing medical care in the six camps where 119 000 refugees are gathered. Here, more than 10 000 children are enrolled in nutritional programmes.

Had a quick blast last night (half an hour) and really enjoyed it. Graphically, its lovely - the City is a brilliant creation. Like others have said, the cars are fun and handle very nicely too - the GamePad integration isnt as annoying or distracting as i thought it would be either. Definitely got a lot of potential and, so far, is definitely living up to its mooted 'Grand Theft Lego' reputation.... |

Authorities are cracking down on swimmers at Bay County beaches.
There is a new ordinance that's designed to keep the public safe.
Anyone headed to Bay County beaches needs to look twice before hitting the water.
If there's a double red flag flying and you're swimming along one of the 14 miles of unincorporated beaches, you could face fines of up to $500 dollars or spend up to 60 days in jail.
Sheriff Frank McKeithen, with the Bay County Sheriff's Office said, "We've been working on this about three months. It's not a knee jerk reaction; it's something that I've talked to my officers that are out there everyday risking their lives to pull people out that continue to go in the water,
Sheriff McKeithen says after plucking around 200 people out of the water and 10 drownings so far this year, he has to take more drastic measures to get the message of safety across to the public.
"Some people can sit back and say, 'well, they're stupid for going in the water', but that's not necessarily true," Sheriff McKeithen continued. "Some of them don't know, they just can't imagine how dangerous it is."
Now, the sheriff's office says you can enjoy the water, but you do need to follow the regulations.
Deputy Stephanie Wargo, with the Bay County Sheriff's Office said, "On double red flag days, we are obviously going to warn them and educate them on the flag system. If they chose not to take heed to the warning, at that time they can and may be issued a citation."
Sheriff deputies will be passing out a flag warning notice to beach goers and to hotels.
The card gives detailed information about the different flag colors and their level of caution for swimmers in the water.
Authorities ask that if you see someone in distress during a double flag warning, do not swim out to help, but call 911.

Ahead of the Deepavali festival, the Chennai police have issued certain guidelines to sellers of fire crackers asking them to comply with court orders and licensing conditions.
In a press release, Commissioner of Police T. Rajendran said the Madras High Court in its order on 29.6.2006 had directed that fire crackers should not be sold or stored on roads, pavements and public places during the festival season. Any person violating the condition would be prosecuted.
Further, the conditions for temporary shops under Rule 84 of the Explosives Rules, 2008, such as storing of fire crackers in a shed made of non-inflammable material, three-metre distance between two shops, ban on display of fireworks within 50 metres of the shed, should be strictly adhered to.
Mr. Rajendran drew the attention of the people to Section 74 of the Chennai city Police Act which states that lighting or bursting or discharge of fire works in any public place, street or thoroughfare is an offence. He said public should avoid bursting 'Atom Bombs', "Aeroplane' and 'Rocket' variety of fire crackers, particularly within 1-km radius of hospitals and nursing homes.
Crackers should be burst only between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. and as per Rule 89 of the Environment Protection Act no fire cracker which produces more than 125 decibel of sound should be manufactured or used, the release said.

Liberalism score: -50%
The Silicon Graybeard and Borepatch (with the assistance of Joel) conspired to get me to take this test, derived from which THIS is the above assessment…
Frankly, I was expecting something a little less pejorative…
Your results may very. :-)
The Art of Manliness does it AGAIN. This time with an essay about Integrity.
I'm convinced a significant percentage of our adult population never (or rarely) considers the moral and ethical implications of their words and actions. And we are the worse off because of this. Most moral compasses have the needle missing. And we're passing this lackadaisical attitude to our children.
What Strengthens and Weakens Our Integrity – Part I: Why Small Choices Count
A segment:
It's not too difficult to discuss this quality in a general way and offer advice on maintaining one's integrity of the "just do it" variety. But a quick glance at the never-ending news headlines trumpeting the latest scandal and tale of corruption shows that that's not always the most effective approach. While the foundation of integrity is having a firm moral code of right and wrong, it can also be enormously helpful, even crucial, to understand the psychological and environmental factors that can tempt us to stray from that code. What's at the root of our decision to sometimes compromise our principles? What kinds of things lead us to be less honest and what kinds of things help us to be more upright? What are some practical ways we can check our temptations to be immoral or unethical? How can we strengthen not only our own integrity, but the integrity of society as well?
You should go and read the whole essay. And watch for the remaining three follows-up. Hell, you should be checking out TAOM on a regular basis, regardless!
So, hear I am, poised over my mail-in ballot, making my choices. (written over one week ago) Do I hold my nose with one hand (figuratively) or make a third-party choice. You will never know, as I believe in the Australian Secret Ballot! :-P
For those who didn't care for the previous administration (and those who don't care for the current one) here's a partial list of current administration foibles, many carry-overs from the previous administration.
SO, Tweedledum or Tweedledee?
There's a Huey Lewis song – The Power of Love. Something else can have power if you give it some – FEAR.
In 2009, I was diagnosed with lymphoma and given six months of chemotherapy. I lost my hair, my cancer, and my job. And it took me some time to get disability benefits, including Medicare. And on my meager disability, I couldn't afford COBRA.
So I went for two years without any medical care, save affording some meds for my diabetes. The other conditions I have had to wait. Including follow-up with my oncologist.
When I was finally awarded Medicare last July, I thought great, now I can go see my oncologist. In the previous two years he had scheduled a number of tests for me, but as I couldn't afford them, I didn't go. And I worried about losing benefits if still in remission, and about not having gone soon enough if not. The classic double-edged sword.
But, I finally found some courage and went yesterday. My doctor completely understood why I'd not been in to see him, and I shared my trials of the past couple years with him: few meds, losing my home, fears about benefits, ability to pay the 20% Medicare requires. He was very understanding and accommodating.
He said as his exam showed no recurrence, and it had been over three years, there was no need for an MRI or other expensive tests! I'm to return in six months, and probably one more time after that. Then, only if I have symptoms. He didn't think being in remission would affect my benefits. And, I'm still cancer free!
And isn't knowledge and action better than ignorance and FEAR? Perhaps I'll remember this next time.
My roomie and I have a running gag. Actually, we have many running gags. We're a laugh-a-minute! One of these gags involves channeling her late father.
It seems, whenever he was pining over some current issue (e.g. gasoline prices) he would say:
You know, it wasn't that way back in 1967…
And, to keep his memory alive as we are sick and twisted, we have adopted similar verbiage.
JEEZUS I hate paying XXX for this! It didn't cost that much back in 1967 (or insert appropriate year).
Over at Random Acts of Patriotism, ASM826 takes a similar tack.
He wants to transport us back to 1954! Via the WABAC Machine.
An excerpt:
There were 2 million people living in the metro Detroit area and it was one of the manufacturing centers of the world. Detroit today…
Of course, it wasn't all lollypops and roses. Racial strife, the Red Scare; let's not forget the warts in this photo. But,
If only we had the WABAC…or a DeLorean…
h/t ASM826, Chattanooga Times Free Press
Or a reasonably facsimile, thereof. Eventually.
Having recently moved a house-full of stuff into one room, I'm still unpacking. And trying to find places to put stuff. Where I can find it when needed.
Ay, there's the rub. Finding stuff. You see, my new efficiency studio flat bedroom does not have a central overhead light. I've three lamps, two of the standing variety, one of which needs rewiring. And the one lamp is only accessible in a far corner, behind numerous boxes and plastic totes. I have to remind myself to leave the bathroom light on and the door ajar to find my way to the bedside table lamp. Or use flashlights, after dark.
Last night I was getting ready to retire, and thought I'd shave first, as I feel better swimming in the AM having done so. But alas, no new razors (which I'd just purchased last week) could be found, due to the multitude of boxes, coupled with the lack of proper lighting!
So, I guess I'll take my stubble for a quick swim this morning. Sigh.
(I know this is just a minor annoyance, and that the issue will eventually be resolved, but last night I was ticked. I hate not being able to find what I need when I need it. Guess I'd better get cracking on unpacking.)
NOW, where to put stuff…?
I'm a creature of habit. I LIKE being a creature of habit. It means I do things routinely that would otherwise require thought. Did you take your meds on time? YES, it's 0700 (for example).
Having recently moved, into a place with the added pleasure/duty/observation of a roommate, I'm developing new, or rather re-developing old habits.
One of these is before retiring, checking the perimeter to make certain nothing is out-of-place and the doors are closed and locked. Basic stuff.
Of course, my roommate does this as well, but she isn't as obsessive-compulsive as I. (about THIS, anyway! :-) )
But with these new routines, glitches arise. The other day, we changed television signal services, and the satellite tech came and went. We needed to acquire separate equipment to make one of the bedroom TVs function, and thought completing the connection would be easy. It wasn't. Another technician was scheduled the next day to resolve the issue.
After he fixed everything (in about 10 minutes), he left, and we went about our day, my roommate and I, including going to pick up some fast food.
We returned and ate lunch. Later that afternoon, I noticed the front door was unlocked. I asked the roommate if she had unlocked it. "No, you opened it when you let the satellite guy in." was her response.
OOPS. And I didn't bother to check the perimeter when we left for lunch. The front door had been unlocked when we left. Anyone could have walked in and taken everything!
I'm making two points here. 1) I now have a new duty with regard to home security, and have been performing it since with diligence. And 2) If you change your habits/routines/schedules/geography make certain you amend your behavior to keep up with it. I never left my previous house unlocked in 18 years. We were lucky.
Next time could be different. Routine should never devolve into complacency.
As I've stated many times, when I began this blog I'd no expectations of anyone bothering to read it. It was (and is) MY weblog. For my reasons. I expected friends and family to stop by for a look, and that would be about it. Before I left the BLOGGER software platform, I had 48 followers (after one year of blogging). Then, I moved over here to WordPress, and the 'follower' process began anew.
The most interesting (and sometimes confounding) development about this process is not all of my former followers followed me over to this new site. I left instructions, a map, and everything! However, I've not only attracted many new followers, but many are off-the-mark from the expected wild-eyed, gun toting, radical wookiesuiters responsible firearms-owning libertarians. Many more folks from off-shore, persons of an artistic bent, others than the small corner community in which I'd painted myself.
And how terrific is THAT?
To date, 39 people are following Guffaw in AZ, only four months after switching to WordPress! Of course, I have had an increase in spammers, but, I guess that's the cost of doing business.
Regardless – Thank You! - Guffaw
One of my favorite Internet sites is The Art of Manliness. I was fortunate to find it in my 'net travels prior to it's inclusion in the GBBL (thanks, North!), but that doesn't matter. It's authored by a nice couple who believe that many of the traditions normally passed on generationally have been interrupted by the stuff of modern society – political correctness, lack-of-gentility, the isolation of Internet use, and so on.
They've posted articles of an interest to this audience about how to shoot and clean firearms, sharpen knives, and even more traditional skills, like how to use a straight razor – and sharpen it!
Sometimes, they have guest posts, and it's one of those I'm addressing today. A recent essay (at the link, above) is about toughness. In this age of political correctness, toughness is largely viewed as a negative. But it's something that needs to be (re)acquired by us if we as a Nation are to survive.
When discussing the Colorado shooting with someone the other day, I was told about a video of an earlier shooting wherein a father abandoned his daughter in a video store to save his own ass. It took a stranger to place himself between the girl and the shooter to stop her from being killed. The fact that any adult, especially a father, would value his life over a child's makes me physically ill.
We need to get tough, again. And teach this as a value to our children.
Life can be painful. Physically, emotionally, spiritually. Obviously we don't need to abuse our charges, but need to show them by example how we handle the stuff of Life. How we handle challenges.
As author Marcus Brotherton states:
One harmful mindset that can keep a man from fulfilling his calling and potential is self-coddling. This is when he convinces himself he deserves a break, and runs to something that ultimately harms himself.
And society as a whole. There have been no news reports of anyone rushing to stop to Aurora shooter. I think the generation prior to 1950 would have had several.
Bueller? Bueller?
…and is getting to the end.
And, because the Universe delights in complicating such matters, this week the temperatures are going into the 'teens (113* F+) AND I've developed some-kind of cold. And my 12 year old car doesn't have working AC.
Now, this is interesting, as I usually don't get sick, e.g. colds. When I become ill, I go whole-hog, e.g. diabetes, flesh-eating bacteria, lymphoma. Nothing as plebeian as a cold.
Not that I desire something more serious. Just that the timing sucks.
But time marches on. And as was stated in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, "The Universe tends to unfold as it should."
And so will this project.

Wagstaff relishing Vics cup clash
The youngster will be on familiar territory, having played five games for the Vics during a month-long loan spell last season. "As soon as Northwich came out I had a feeling it would be us that would get them," he said. "I'm really happy with the draw. It would have been better if it was a home game. But it's up at Northwich, back where I was on loan, so it will be a good chance for me to hopefully get a game."

Montauk Property Owners Expand Possibilities Of Oceanfront Living
EAST HAMPTON, N.Y., Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- New York investor Henry Druker and Matt Goldman, the co-founder behind the highly successful Blue Man Group theatrical productions, have embarked upon a creative real estate venture in Montauk, NY , the seaside hamlet fast emerging as the "it" spot for investment in the Hamptons. The neighbors have created a virtual merger of two prime, contiguous 1 ½ acre lots to provide an exceptional oceanfront land opportunity on a coveted stretch of Old Montauk Highway that counts Robert De Niro and Ralph Lauren as neighbors. Druker owns his lot in partnership with Red McCombs, the co-founder of Clear Channel Communications and former owner of the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Vikings.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130214/NY60697 )
The merger of the two adjacent 1½ acre parcels results in a first-time offering of a dramatic 3-acre building site boasting 186' of beautiful Montauk ocean frontage. With an elevation of 55', the expanded setting is the perfect location for a spectacular beachfront residence commanding some of the area's most dramatic ocean vistas.
The property merger was the creative work of Druker, a long-time resident of East Hampton, NY, and Goldman, a long-time resident of Montauk. They together envisioned the intrinsic value of a larger oceanfront site - flexibility for development, more generous setbacks and greater preservation of the open spaces and vistas that distinguish Montauk and its landscape. Druker and Goldman each recognized that their neighboring individual lots would be even more special if combined.
To imagine the possibilities for development within all town specifications, Druker and Goldman commissioned the prestigious East Hampton architectural firm of Fleetwood & McMullan, LLC to create a site plan for the newly expanded 3-acre parcel. A thoughtful plan was conceived for a spectacular, up to 10,000 sq. ft. home overlooking a 60-foot oceanside pool and meandering private path to the magnificent beachfront. The plan is available for consideration by prospective buyers. The unique features of this property offering will undoubtedly appeal to savvy buyers. The building envelope conforms to all East Hampton Town specifications, the governing body over Montauk development. This is an important attribute in an area that fiercely protects its natural lands, wildlife and waterfront. Druker had previously preserved and moved a Fleetwood designed home from a neighbor's lot to his own in the town of East Hampton. Druker and Goldman engaged the support of town officials for the combined lot in Montauk while forming their partnership. The combined lot offers the new buyer a larger home and pool than what could be built on either lot individually, while creating less density and development than what would occur if each lot were individually developed with a home, pool, drive, etc. The result is more privacy, open space and generous setbacks to neighboring properties. Since the 1920's preservationists have buffered Montauk against over development establishing abundant parkland, natural reserves and wildlife sanctuaries. Vacant property is relatively scarce in Montauk where nearly 2/3 of the land has been preserved. Today, Montauk maintains its unique blend of natural rugged coastline beauty peppered with eclectic housing opportunities ranging from dramatic oceanfront villas to quaint beach cottages. Montauk has enjoyed a real estate renaissance of late where deep-sea fisherman, avid surfers, artists, local residents, celebrity homeowners and summer residents peacefully coexist and mutually enjoy and respect the serenity, salty ocean air and relaxed vibe of this enclave at the easternmost tip of Long Island. "From a real estate perspective, Montauk is on fire right now," commented Bill Williams, Senior Vice President of Sotheby's International Realty and co-listing broker for the property. "Land values are strong and early season investment interest is very active. The Druker-Goldman property is a significant new offering in an area where 3 prime oceanfront acres are sought after and scarce."
