Availability of several treatment rooms and my Hot Stone Massage.
Robes weren't available for the majority of our visit which meant we spent most of the time wrapped in a wet towel which was neither warm nor particularly comfortable. That said, the Spa did offer a free glass of champagne in recognition of the inconvenience

I had a wonderful relaxing massage with lava shells
I was a little disappointed that one of the steam rooms wasn't working so that we could enjoy the complete experience.

I enjoyed the massage, especially with the oils.
Having the massage is most invigorating way to relax. The hydro pool feels cool after experiencing the sauna and steam room.

A new report shows that exports saw another quarterly rise in the three months to June on the back of growth in the U.K. and U.S. markets.
In its Export Analysis Report, investment bank Investec said its data shows the second quarterly increase of exports in a row, and the strongest figures since 2011.
The report measures export demand, export competitiveness and GDP growth in Ireland's 15 major trading partners.
Investec noted that several euro zone trading partners contributed positively to Irish export growth as the area finally emerged from recession.
Commenting on the report, Investec's chief economist Philip O'Sullivan said that while conditions remain fragile, the euro area's return to growth in the second quarter of 2013, was a very welcome development.
''Growth within the single currency was concentrated in Germany, France and Belgium, although it is also worth noting that the drag from peripheral nations Spain and Italy was markedly reduced. Meaningful growth, however, may be another quarter or two away,'' the economist added.
Monday's report also said that that solid growth in China remains a good source of support for Irish exports, despite fears that the Chinese economy is moving to a much slower growth path. Gains in China were accompanied by positive growth in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Australia.
On the country's competitiveness, Investec said the scale of the improvement in Ireland's competitiveness since the start of the financial crisis is ''impressive'' with substantial improvements in productivity and labor costs.
''Whilst further advantages of this scale are unlikely to be achieved over the years ahead, the European Commission continues to project that labor cost competitiveness in Ireland, relative to the euro area, will improve this year and next,'' added O'Sullivan.

I know, I know spring has just arrived. March 21st. First day of Spring. Summer is on my mind though! With Kauai's island temperatures, I might as well just say summer is here. Am I allowed to do that? Can I unofficially say it is summer?
Whether you agree with me or not, summertime is coming, unless you are me and think it is pretty much already here. Maybe summertime to you and your family more so means the time off from school for the kids. When they are out for the summer, it can be easier to think of the summer in that fashion. Ok, so when the kids are from class, you are wanting to take a summer vacation, am I right or am I right? A family vacation to Kauai is just what you and your family needs to ease on into summer, to relax, and have some time away from the norms of home.
Kauai is just what you need to get your Hawaii fix! The Garden Island as it is called, has the right mix of rural meets city meets island time. Have you heard of the tree tunnel? It is considered the gateway to Poipu. It is one of the nicest rides in my opinion. People love riding this way, and it is quite a picturesque view as well. I encourage you to Google it.
When you are on Kauai, everything seems to be just right. The roadways, the ease of time, the people and community here, the food, oh and I could go on and on and on…

Today Americans will celebrate Memorial Day and on June 2, Italians will celebrate Festa della Republica. Volumes have been written on World War II history in Italy. Here, Tour Italy Now will share some little known places and facts about this important time in our shared histories. History is on every corner in Italy, from Etruscan relics to Renaissance treasure. Some history is more recent. The memories of World War II are still evident in many everyday places throughout Italy. Most of Rome was spared the German's bombs. However, the cities of Milan and Florence suffered great damage. Ponte Vecchio. The oldest bridge in Florence, built in Roman times and was long the only bridge to cross the Arno river and connect the two sides of Florence. Over the centuries, four other bridges were constructed along the length of the city and the river. There is a secret passageway that […]

Replacing stained baseboards - Costs?
I ballpark estimate that I've got about 200-250 linear feet of stained baseboards on my first floor alone that I think are original to my 20 year old home. They're stained a golden oak color, but not sure if the baseboards are actually oak. They're all pretty dingy looking, in desperate need of at least a shiny coat of something (not sure what to use), and in some places a total replacement. In fact, it appears as though whoever last installed them did not leave any gap between the subfloor and the baseboards to allow for the carpet. So, when you look at our living room and family room the 2 inch baseboards only stick up about an inch or so. Looks pretty stupid.
How expensive is oak trim? How much should I expect to pay to have something like that installed? OR, should I just pull out what I've got, put some sort of clear coat on it and put it back at the appropriate height?
Cannot answer the cost/installation part---it varies too much place to place.
Go to a real lumberyard---NOT a home horror store. Look at oak/pine/poplar baseboard and price it. Figure 10% more than what you actually need.
If the carpet was installed up to the old base----installing new base the same size will leave a gap---you need to get taller base.
Stain grade oak trim is not cheap, especially compared to pine.
A real lumberyard can provide costs per foot for the trim you are looking for.
Expect the price between paint grade softwood and stain grade hardwood to be around 10x higher for stain grade hardwood.
Watch out for molding that has been milled from 1x lumber.
It will be thinner than what you may have.
Quarter round used to measure a full 3/4 inch thick in both dimensions.
It now is sometimes supplied as only 5/8 inch.
Baseboards that used to be a full 3/4 inch thick are often now only 5/8 thick.
Just about all the molding at the bog box places is like this.
The real lumberyards will have the thinner junk, but the older full size also.

What can animals teach us?
Our species, Homo Sapiens, has chosen to stand separated from all other species. We consider ourselves the most evolved of all life on Earth, and therefore above all other creatures..
The question is whether this is the only way to look at our relationship to other life?
Is our focus the only one or are there other species, evolved along different perspectives, that have other gifts and other foci's that, would we recognize them, can teach us anything?
I am not talking about physical skills here, the human species, being blessed with an opposable thumb, is about clever enough, so clever that we are capable to destroy the whole living space, if we so choose.
Is competing, ranking and judging the only worldview?
Animals donÂt worry near as much as we do, but seem to be more effective reacting to danger and have more than one survival skill.
They donÂt fear death, because they know they are in the circle of life.
Those choosing to be our helpers or companions, the domesticated ones, definitely choose that life, otherwise could you make a horse do what you want it to?
Have we lost the knowledge that all is connected and, that we are all made of the same stuff and are part of the Earth and the food-chain (think microbes here).
Food for thoughtÂwant to add yours?
I was planting some primroses yesterday with the help of my two half-cats Oreo and Kreem. They reminded me that it is the doing not the getting done that matters. I put the dirt in the pot Oreo dug it out and rolled in it. I put a plant in the pot Kreem jumped on it and battered it. After awhile they got bored and did something else, the plants look beautiful lol.
My cats teach me about unconditional love and acceptance. They absolutely adore us. Also, they teach me something spiritual - I know there are those that would debate this but when I look into my cats eyes I know they have a spirit. They help confirm the existance of God.
1-COURAGE-As a dog dragging a woman he has never seen before up an incline to a road after she has had a wreck than staying with her till she gets help. WHY did he do this to a different species that could mean nothing to him?
2-PATIENCE- As a cat ,dog waiting for a long time to catch a mole when they are'nt hungry. or patiently waiting by a door waiting for a master to come home.
3-UNSELFISHNESS- as many animals adopt other species as their own babies,feed them,clean them,love them. A young dog going to the defence of a human baby about to be attacked by a larger dog and taking the bites to protect the baby.
4-FAITH- As in their human gods, who starve them,beat them,leave them without shelter, TEACH THEM TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH,while their god bets money on their life or death. Throws them out of a car alongside a road.How long to they keep faith that their god will come back to get them before they die of starvation or get run over by a car?
5-FUN LOVING- Get a sparkle in their eyes when they know their owners are getting ready for a walk,play ball or with a toy with them. To tease their owners to play with them.To play with each other with total abandon.
6-SENSE OF HUMOR- To sit and plan a sneaky harmless attack to aggravate another animal or human. To act smug at the trouble another pet gets into.
I know there are more so lets hear them. I know there is a list of things wild animals can teach us. but i'll leave that for someone else.
I just wanted to say that I love this post...it is very insightful.
I love animals so much,and the first thing I do everytime I come home is run to see them.
I think we could all stand to learn alot more from them. Our lives may not be as "high tech",but they might be more simple and enjoyable.
Great responses! Although I have to say, this one is confusing. I'd sure drop my faith in a higher being if this is how I was treated.
4-FAITH- As in their human gods, who starve them,beat them,leave them without shelter, TEACH THEM TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH,while their god bets money on their life or death. Throws them out of a car alongside a road.How long to they keep faith that their god will come back to get them before they die of starvation or get run over by a car?
jan, Sorry to confuse you.
The point is just as you said we'd drop a god like that. We sometimes lose our faith in times adversity. But look at the abuse a dog will put up with and still be faithful and love his master.
I don't mean we should put up with abuse but humans will also be unforgiving of people for simple slights.
Did i clear things up or confuse you more. My DD,s tell me i can confuse anyone on any subject.LOL
lilod,Wanted to add a couple of things i've read sort of along the lines you were talking about in your original post.
I beleive it was Jane Goodal that studied the mtn gorrilas. There were some monkeys that hung around their headquarters. When they first got there the monkeys were thoughtful to each other and seldom quarreled. Someone started feeding them bananas everyday. Soon they were fighting over the free fruit and trying to steal it away.
The free feeding stopped and soon the monkeys returned to normal. Now figure that one out.
The other is the virus that causes ebola. Microbiologists say that the virus must be a new virus because it destroys its entire food source,humans, in a very short period of time and it cannot spread far because of this. Should it evolve to allow more of it,s victems to live or should a preditor of it evolve with it to slow it down it would spread world wide.
Just something to think about.
My cats teach me about unconditional love and acceptance.
Funny thing is it's not just for humans, but even for other animals. I saw this first hand years ago. We had two cats and two dogs. One of the dogs, a pure bred golden retriever, had gone into labor, and was about to give birth to her first litter of pups. One of the cats, a 16 year old female black angora, stayed right by the dog's head, nuzzling up between her ears, and generally showing concern. Our other dog, a male morwegian elkhound, got curious and tried to come into the room to see what was happening, and all of the sudden, that cat went into attack mode, LUNGING at the poor elkie!! he didn't know what hit him-- all he knew was he didn't want anything to do with what was happening in that room!!
Barney - my first Golden (and pet, at age 29) taught this serious and reserved girl that it's okay to play.
Chammi - now 12, taught me the benefits of living in the moment. Her world is the here and now, more than any other dog I've known.
Java - now 10, taught me total devotion.
Meadow - a rescue we found on the side of the road who was with us only two months before she died, taught me that it's never to late to find love.
Tootie - now 6, taught me that a positive attitude can take you far in life.
Sophie and Lucy, sisters who are now 1, taught me that there are bonds that will never be broken.
Goldgirl, I liked your list, I will use your format.
Jessica, my first dog as an adult, taught me about unconditional love and helped me to understand that I was not loved by my then-husband.
Peaches, my second dog as an adult, taught me that I did not have the power to make things all right all of the time - even with a fresh Master's degree as a Social Worker!
Megan taught me what a good dog was like, and how to communicate with body and eyes and how to form an unspoken bond with another living creature.
Toby teaches me that good spirits, optimism, and patience make life happy and carefree.
Casey Jones teaches me that we all have emotional needs that you cannot ignore without breaking the spirit. He has also taught me that "if you don't want that right now, I'll take it" is an equally valid moral stance!
Sabrina (we have had her a week now!) is teaching me how hard it can be to trust, and that patience has its rewards. She actually wagged her tail just a bit when I went to her and petted her this morning. That is a first!
Our species, Homo Sapiens, has chosen to stand separated from all other species. We consider ourselves the most evolved of all life on Earth, and therefore above all other creatures..
You can leave me out of the We in that sentence.
All species evolved together in a web life, such that no species is above the other, all species are interdependant upon each other.
And if you haven't seen this list, it circulated on email awhile back:
If a Dog Were Your Teacher
You would learn stuff like...
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air
and the wind in your face to be pure
When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take naps and stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and
pout, run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
And MOST of all...
When someone is having a bad day,
be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
~Author Unknown
Hmmmm, owned horses for 20 years---4-H, have had dogs my whole life except when in the Army, had cats, parakeets, tropical fish, white rats, lizards, rabbits, a raccoon, a opossum, and have fed birds on occasion. I am extremely realistic.
I currently have two dogs, both mixed aggressive breeds---one of which I rescued from euthanasia----both of whom are stretched out by my feet as I type---tired from the afternoon session of work/exercise/play. They are a part of my family, but---they are dogs first, second, and always. They get treated like aggressive breed dogs, not like my grandchildren or my children. Shorty, the 20 year old chihuahua mix we just had to euthanize because of advanced cancer, was treated like a small noisy dog.
Max, my 3 year old German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix(the out of control rescued dog) is a watchdog. The daughter of the family who got rid of him is a friend of my oldest granddaughter and was here Sunday. She had not seen the dog in a year and a half. She could not get over how calm and behaved he is. They tried to treat Max like a person, thinking they were being good owners. Max had no idea how to be a dog---and that had him so confused and unbalanced he was dangerous.
I've been an animal lover my entire life. However---people who insist animals have human characteristics are doing a disservice to the animal. Animals have to be treated as others of their kind would treat them to be complete animals. Treating an animal like a human creates unbalanced animals.
Now, if the question were---"What has being associated with my animals taught me?----Oh, my, there are hundreds of answers.
See my point?
Animals are channels of pure love. This is what attracts us to them. They do not care about who you are or what you have done in your life. This is God`s love shining through and how God wants us to treat each other. Animals are selfless they do not desire power or money. We waste our time desiring worldly things. They give their lives to us and have become our food our protection and even our image. Animals have done so much for us and while this is happening they all trust in God undoubtedly. This is what animals have taught me... Pure Love.

Over all I like the look and the size is perfect for the space we needed it to fit into. I feel like is a get what you pay for kinda thing. We needed the extra storage. I wish the quality was better so I hope it doesn't totally fall apart when we have to move it.
found product to be very easy to put together and looks very nice-lots of storage
I bought this hutch and the larger one with the wine rack. Both look like the picture and are very sturdy. My husband put them together and I didn't hear too much cursing but it did take hours.
The hutch is a good piece of furniture, for the price. I didn't like the drawer pulls and handles, so changed them to something else I bought at a hardware store. I knew it was plexiglass and not real glass, but didn't realize it would be so plastic looking. I would say that's the only thing that really seemed "cheap." The piece was fairly easy to put together and looks nice in my dining room.
Absolutely terrible to assemble. Holes did not line up, 500 pieces , and the most time consuming piece of furniture we have ever attempted to assemble. Very disappointed.
I had hoped this would have been sturdier as I want to use it as a beverage center in my kitchen but I'm afraid the ******* will reduce it to splinters!!!! Will use it to store the ******* , blender, glasses and liquor. It will have to do...;(
It is a nice unit, the quality is there albeit not a solid wood piece of furniture throughout. It suits my needs and is a great replacement for what I already had.
The buffet looks great and is a terrific addition to our current dining room set. The instructions were a little vague and there were a lot of pieces to put together.

What's A Pimp Lyrics
Sometimes we lose some good ones mayn y'know?
They don't really understand this playerism
Just gotta break it down to 'em, keep it real y'know?
I'm a P-F-L, sworn to the P.I.
[Verse One]
I spent so many days with you, so many nights
It's nice, I wanted you to be my only wife
We didn't make it, I couldn't take it
I tried to square up, it's too hard I couldn't fake it
And now I see why, since I was knee high
I swore to live and die by the P.I.
And I'm stayin true, born in this game and it's payin too
I wish I could have stayed witchu
But it's over, I love you and I still care
We can kick it any time, but I'm still a player
... damn you got that look I like
I tried to settle down it felt like you took my life
I left town, I got women all around
While I was out soul-searchin, guess what I found?
The more hoes the merrier, you think I wanna marry her?
Bitch that sounds scarier and scarier
I need to have a few wives
Cause I don't wanna come home and tell you lies
In my heart I think I found her if she feels the same
You think I've changed, think I'd play her if I'm still in the game?
Hell yeah! One woman, I don't think so
I let the game be my wife, and I'm faithful
I never do her wrong, I never cheat on her
And if the game was baseball, I'd be on first
(I see you watchin this) I see you watchin
(I know it looks real hot up in here) It's pimpin baby
(But what's a pimp?) Oh you know
(I say but what's a pimp?)
(They wanna be like this) They wanna be like this
(I know it looks real fly up in here) It's real fly
(But what's a pimp?)
(I say but what's a pimp?)
[Verse Two]
It's like this
I don't lie, I told you what I felt at the time
I wasn't high, I know you see yourself in my rhymes
A lot of women I dealt with, could hear these words
And realize there's no way I could still be hers
Unless you wanna share me with a hot one named Tarrie
And don't get mad at me when I'm out poppin cherries
I know some ladies they just wanna have babies
Collect child support from rich men in Mercedes
It's cool, but that's not what players do
Get with me, those days are over, I swear it's true
You're through, havin sex for nothin
Hopin some day some man'll give you somethin
Your own bank account - don't laugh, it's not funny
You only fucked with him cause he got a lotta money
But you never get paid, don't lie to me
You just look good, and you get to ride for free
What you eat and what you drink, you trade for sex
Pick you up in the Benz, next day in the Lex
Are you happy? Do you think you're, on a roll?
Do you love your life? Are you achievin any goals?
Or are you sad, mad cause it ain't your way?
Call mom and dad they'll be glad that you ain't gon' stay
Or call me, I got a solution
Choose me and then hit the top with your new man
[Chorus] w/ variations
[Verse Three]
I don't have fantasies, just needs
I need more than one woman to please
And she's like a love roller coaster, the thrill never lasts
And I always seem to find some better ass
Some bitch that can suck better, get wetter
She got them super skills to do anything you let her
So I'm done with you, I still care
I love you baby but I'm still a player
I always been aware and I never been scared
Found some magazines on the top they said Player$
I was young but I was old and I wanted those hoes
Found out playin with girls was mo' fun with no clothes
You can call it what you want to, Doctor or House
Hide and Go Get It, then I'm knockin it out
If she ain't widdit, I find another little chick
I'm quick to switch, even when I was six
I had a backup bitch, when my bitch would trip
I'd go play with my other girlfriend and get me a kiss
And at the age of thirty-six I'm to the same old tricks
Too $hort baby no the game don't quit
I'm playin games with these lame brains
Treatin superstars, like some plane Janes
I wanna get new thangs, so I used the game to maintain
Bitch I refuse to change
[Chorus] w/ variations
[unknown singer from Chorus]
Minks and pinky rings and them
Some so why should you begin
Livin, the world that they are perceivin
Ho-ohhh, is everything that you see
Really good enough to be
Part of the pimp life, ohhhhhh
[Chorus] w/ variations to fade (quickly)

An unexpected birthday
This is a reblog from exactly one year ago, commemorating both the Birthday of the Kosciuszko Bridge and the Night of the Living Dead.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Oh, the old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
Ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be.
The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be, Many long years ago.
Seventy Four years ago today, the Little Flower cut the ribbon and officially opened the "New Meeker Avenue Bridge" to traffic. The following April in 1940, it was renamed as the Kosciuszko Bridge.
It's the Night of the Living Dead, by the way. Also, it's Vulcanalia…

According to the Long Island City Star-Journal of August 24th, 1939- the lineup of folks in the shot and action above are described as:
Mayor LaGuardia snips the ribbon which admitted the first autos lo use the lofty new Meeker Avenue Bridge over Newtown Creek in Laurel Hill, at the dedication held yesterday at Laurel Hill Plaza. To the right of the mayor is Acting Borough President John J. Halloran of Queens. To his left is Borough President Raymond V. Ingersoll of Brooklyn. Left of Ingersoll is Frederick J. H. Kracke, who was commissioner of Plant and Structures when that department originated plans for the bridge.

American Bridge Company and Bethlehem Steel worked on her, along with dozens of other contractors. The Big K was part of what was known as "the Regional Plan", which also provied the pretext for the erection of the Triborough, Whitestone, Marine Parkway and a slew of other bridges across the archipelago.

Odds are very good that this is her last birthday (wrong again, Mitch), as the "Fast Track" program announced by the Governor will be kick starting the construction of a "Newer Meeker Avenue Bridge"- or perhaps the "Kosciuszko Two"- by the late spring of 2013. She will be gone by 2017, if one were to believe the schedule currently touted by State officials.

The historic shots included in this post all link out to the New York City Municipal Archives site, which has famously begun releasing thousands of historic images of the City online. One of the tricks to using the system, I've discovered, is knowing what things used to be called. It's a "streetcar" versus "trolley" kind of thing. We call the former light rail system by the latter name, while those who dwelled in the past used the former.

Very little information is available about the construction and planning of the Kosciuszko, but there's plenty about the New Meeker Avenue Bridge. The Big K was built for two official reasons- first, to provide a link between the multitudes of infinite Brooklyn and the World Fair Grounds in Flushing (Flushing Meadow Corona Park), and secondly to replace the aging swing bridge that spanned Newtown Creek between Meeker Avenue in Brooklyn and Laurel Hill Blvd. in Queens. Unofficially, Robert Moses really wanted to get the Brooklyn Queens Expressway built and this was as good a place as any to start.

One does look forward to that day in the latter half of this decade, which I seriously doubt will be anything even close to 2017, when the pedestrian lane of the new bridge will be open for inspection. One of the most frustrating parts of the current bridge is that it once sported such a lane for perambulation, but it has long been closed off- thwarting photographic exploitation of the surreal vantage point that it offers.
How I would love to set up a tripod on the Kosciuszko Bridge…
from nydailynews.com
Construction on a new bridge is now expected to begin in spring 2013 — a year ahead of schedule, thanks to $460 million made available for the job by Gov. Cuomo's New York Work initiative.
The 73-year-old bridge, which carries the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway over the Newtown Creek, qualified for the money in part because it is on the state's "deficient bridge" list.
The initial phase of construction will build an eastbound lane next to the existing bridge, according to the state Department of Transportation, the agency overseeing the project. The 1.1-mile bridge is expected to be done in 2017 and will cost about $800 million.
When completed, two new spans with a total of nine vehicle lanes and paths for pedestrians and bikes will replace the original structure.
Here's a rare historic shot- in color- of the mighty span, from the year it was opened, also courtesy New York Municipal Archives

The Poison Cauldron of the Newtown Creek - Saturday, August 24, 2013
Newtown Creek walking tour with Mitch Waxman and Atlas Obscura, tickets now on sale.
went silently
Sometimes you get what you pay for.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Wandering about in DUKBO recently, specifically western Maspeth (aka Berlin) nearby its border with Blissville, your humble narrator found himself confronted with one of the many conundrums which torment. My Dad was a "working guy," one whose entire body was thrown into the meat grinder of manual labor during his working life. Routinely exposed to paint, solvents, and all sorts of other chemicals which his trade utilized, the old man eventually succumbed to cancer.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
The old man had a list of industrial accidents which he would rattle off to those who asked. The time he fell off a ladder and was blinded for a few months when a pail of lye splashed into his eyes, or a freak accident that somehow opened up his inner arm from wrist to armpit which needed 400 stitches to close, or the long lasting bursitis and arthritic after effects of having worked at an industrial butcher in the freezer room when he was a kid. There were busted toes, bad knees, a gamey hip, bulging vertebrae, broken ribs, a shoulder that made sounds when he moved it, and the scar tissue on his hands had formed into thickened gloves.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Other than insisting that I figure out some way to get a desk job instead of following in his footsteps, the old man had no real regrets other than never having won the lottery nor owned a Cadillac. He did what he had to do and always tried to get the job done right, or at least as half assed as he could get away with. This has been referenced before, and when I see working guys doing what the fellow in the shot above is doing, I cringe a bit and start to think about the old man. The guy in the shot is doing so many things wrong, safety wise, that I was half expecting him to just burst into flame as I walked by.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
I spend enough time around the union types that I've kind of been infected by their logic. My upstairs neighbor sets out safety cones and a fire extinguisher when he barbecues, but he does something at work which he calls "firewatch" that requires permit and certification. "Even if ya don't need it Bro, god forbid something happens you can at least say you did everything you could." Also mentioned, in the past, has been the physical cowardice for which I am famous.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Given to capricious fits of panic and paranoia, your humble narrator attempts full situational awareness at all times, constantly scanning the local vicinity for threats. Those who know me personally will confirm the constant stream of warnings about broken sidewalks, things which drip, or suspicious personages to watch out for that spews forth. Additionally, I advise strangers who are crossing Northern Blvd. to stand behind something while standing at corners and waiting for the light to change. I'm all 'effed up, but this really isn't the old mans fault, I was just born weird. One of the things which allows one such as myself nepenthe is the presence of union guys like my pal upstairs, or these poor schmucks on a picket line in front of that dry ice and compressed gas place right at the corner of Laurel Hill and Review. Union labor keeps things nice and safe for the rest of us. You won't find them sitting on a ladder using a metal grinder to remove paint without wearing glasses or a mask, nor wearing highly flammable synthetic fabrics while doing so.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
The old man wasn't in a union, he had some objection to them- something about the mafia and being Jewish and his older brother- a story which he changed periodically to prove a point or win an argument. I kind of wish he was, at least he would have gotten paid a lot better, and likely wouldn't have been quite as busted up by the job. This little conundrum of mine, pondered while marching across the concrete devastations of DUKBO, is this: why do I care so much about what happens to strangers, nor mind my own business? Also, if I care so much, what can I do about it?
What would Superman do?

Today's post visits DUKBO, Down Under the Kosciuszko Bridge Onramp.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
An angle between neighborhoods, this spot is in Maspeth and Sunnyside and Blissville and Laurel Hill all at the same time. It's alongside the Brooklyn Queens Expressway and the Queens leg of the 1.1 mile long Kosciuszko Bridge Complex and the Long Island Expressway. To the west lies Calvary Cemetery and its tomb legions, and it is known to all simply and aptly as Laurel Hill Blvd.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
One of the spots where Europeans originally settled in Queens, as early as the 1680's there were farms and houses here, it is nevertheless a forgotten and desolate place seldom traveled to but rather through. In actuality, if you were to count all the humans who travelled by on any given day, the number would suggest one of the most crowded spots on the planet.
Luckily, local artisans have inscribed the spot.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Vast graffiti has been installed, decrying the clarion call of the outer boroughs upon the titan masonry of the bridge's approach ramp. Epic wit emblazoned with such panache surely indicates the presence of a latter day bard here in this angle between neighborhoods.
Pithy expression, and the freedom to pursue it, indeed.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Happily, everything in Queens faces Manhattan these days, and on a clear day one might be able to discern this delicate missive from the Shining City if atmospheric and lighting conditions are just right. Also, the thought paid by the artist to those visiting the interred at Calvary must be heeded.
Imagine the joy of describing to your grandchild what the word "Scumbag" means as he stands in front of a loved ones grave.

Upcoming Walking Tour- the Parks and Petroleum tour- May 12, next Sunday
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Meetup at the corner of Kingsland and Norman Avenues in Greenpoint.
We will be exploring the petroleum and waste transfer districts of the Newtown Creek watershed in North Brooklyn. Heavily industrialized, the area we will be walking through is the heart of the Greenpoint Oil Spill and home to scores of waste transfer stations and other heavy industries. We will be heading for the thrice damned Kosciuszko Bridge, which is scheduled for a demolition and replacement project which will be starting this year.
Photographers, in particular, will find this an interesting walk through of a little known and quite obscure section of New York City.
Be prepared: We'll be encountering broken pavement, sometimes heavy truck traffic, and experiencing a virtual urban desert as we move through the concrete devastations of North Brooklyn. Dress and pack appropriately for hiking, closed toe shoes are highly recommended- as are a hat or parasol to shield you from the sun.
Bathroom opportunities will be found only at the start of the walk, which will be around three hours long and cover approximately three miles of ground.
Drivers, it would be wise to leave your cars in the vicinity of McGolrick Park in Greenpoint.

Down Under the Kosciuszko Bridge Onramp, or DUKBO, is the name I've assigned to this lunar landscape of industrial mills and waste transfer stations which lines the Brooklyn side of the Creek. This year is functionally the last time you will be able to witness this place, as the Kosciuszko Bridge replacement project will be kicking into high gear in the fall of 2013.
For the urban explorer and photographer crowd, this is a wonderland of shattered streets and rusted infrastructure which will soon be eradicated from all but living memory.
Tickets are available, should you care to witness the place prior to its forthcoming demolition.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
The tour will tell the story of Standard Oil at its start and cross over the Greenpoint Oil Spill's heart, revealing that lost world of industrial aspiration and 20th century dissolution which lies less than a mile from the geographic and population centers of New York City.
In the past, I've described the area as "Mordor" at this, your Newtown Pentacle, and the Tolkien analogy is apt. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume, the water is hopelessly tainted with bizarre combinations and millions of gallons of petroleum and industrial chemicals, the soil is impregnated with heavy metals, asbestos, and truly- who can guess all there is that might be buried down there?
An odd concentration of food distribution, waste transfer and garbage handling facilities, and energy industry plants make the area remarkable, and everywhere you look will be a "colour"- a bizarrely iridescent sheen which resembles no wholesome nor familiar earthly color but is instead like something from out of space- coating every bit of broken masonry and the sweat slicked skin of laborer and passerby alike.

Perhaps one has become an internet troll.
I do spend an awful lot of time scuttling around beneath bridges and overhead trusses of all kinds, while wandering throughout the concrete devastations of the Newtown Pentacle. Then I find myself posting photos of them to the internet, which offers connection via correlation. As the scions of some mythical "old neighborhood" might proffer: "Dictionary definition, look here douchebag, trolls live under bridges. That means you a fucking troll. Fuck you, troll."
That really is a quote, incidentally, from a Dungeons and Dragons comrade in Canarsie back during the 1980's. Essential usage of the Brooklyn patois, at that time, always involved explaining your work when cursing someone out. It was a gentler age, when a young Joe Piscopo taught us all how to laugh again.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Perhaps, one can be cast as a paparazzo for decaying infrastructure and artisan pollution instead. Imagine a humble narrator clad in scarf and motor scooter, zipping around town searching for remnants of the forgotten and occluded world of fat rendering and manufactured gas while always keeping a watchful eye on the once and future king of the Creeks, called Newtown.
Dynamic, this lifestyle of the paparazzi would, given the poor and mediocre existence currently endured, irrevocably brighten ones outlook.
Back in the "old neighborhood," which was not all that old or really much of a neighborhood, it was opined as best to keep ones sights set low lest disappointment and regret rule ones mind in extreme old age. It was commonly decided that prudence demanded the acquisition of a government job with benefits and regular hours, receiving a pension after 25 years, and then moving away from "all the bullshit" to be the best course of action one could take.
There were a lot of cops, garbage men, firemen, and EMT's in the old neighborhood. Nurses too.

Unfortunately, it does seem that one has indeed become this much maligned creature of hideous modernity called an "Internet troll." If you spot some scruffy bag of mostly water, all wrapped up in a filthy black raincoat and scuttling about while clumsily picking its path around and beneath a bridge, that very well might be me.
What else it might be, for my countenance is somewhat unbearable to behold by the unprepared and there are certain asymmetrical oddities in my gait and postures which defy impersonation, few can say. I will continue to post these captured photons on the internet, notwithstanding that they might be dispatches from Trollheim.

It should be mentioned that under normal circumstance, the narration recited on board one of the Newtown Creek boat tours which I've been a part of in the recent past has been "the straight story". By that, I mean that the normal narrative which readers of this blog have grown used to is toned down a bit, and a more mainstream presentation is offered. There are still plenty of "night soil and offal dock" stories, but as I have a relatively short amount of time to tell the story of Newtown Creek, a lot of the more… colourful… stuff gets trimmed out. Luckily, the Newtown Creek Alliance is producing a "spooky" Halloween tour this Saturday (October 27), and I get to go to town on this one.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
In addition to weaving the Blissville Banshee, Maspeth Gypsies, and witch panics into my speech- there are two other factors which make this tour special. First and foremost is the price, subsidized by grant money from the NYCEF fund of the Hudson River Foundation – which allows NCA to offer the trip at an amazing price of just $25. Secondly, the time at which we will be embarking is late in the afternoon, which should offer spectacular sunset lighting of the Creek for photographers and sensitives alike.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
This is a two hour excursion, leaving from Manhattan's South Sea Seaport on board a comfortable NY Water Taxi (which, yes, has bathroom facilities). NCA is encouraging the wearing of seasonal costuming to celebrate and acknowledge the Halloween holiday. Scheduled speakers include your humble narrator and NCA Executive Director Kate Zidar. Whatever there is, which cannot possibly exist, lurking in the Black Mayonnaise which underlies the cursed waters of that cataract of agony known as the Newtown Creek has refused to make an appearance sans ritual sacrifice- something NCA cannot have any involvement with due to the intricacies of its 501/3c non profit status. The thing in the megalith will be watching, however.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
The question of what sort of costume I will be wearing is still up in the air. Attempts to borrow a death cloak have so far been unsuccessful, despite the fact that several people I know own such raiments. Click the banner just below this paragraph for ticketing information and fulfillment. Do you dare to enter this nightmare world of the Newtown Creek, or will you instead cling to the illusion of sanity which exists beyond its banks?

How one has missed the filth and degradation. Rendering the urgency of returning to these places, lonely and swept by a poisonous fume called wind, and finding the lessons offered has been a source of great angst for your humble narrator. It is difficult to describe my personal experience with these lots and parcels, or defend my deep affection for something like the former Phelps Dodge property at Laurel Hill. This is a shunned place, avoided by all given a choice, yet one finds himself moving inexorably toward it after pinning cap to head and telling "Our Lady of the Pentacle" that "I'm going out for a walk".
- photo by Mitch Waxman
There is little honey to be found here, unless one uses the euphemism favored by DEP employees for the material they handle. Everywhere is a concretized and apocalyptic post industrial landscape and active culture of garbage handlers and warehouse employees. Barren, the landscape enjoys only the crudest amenities. Street trees are quickly shattered by trucks, and a loose sandy gravel seemingly composed of powderized automotive glass reflects a weak and diffuse light transmitted by the burning thermonuclear eye of god itself.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
For one such as myself, a ghastly and shambling outcast scuttling about in a filthy black raincoat, the only thought a place like Maspeth Creek can evince is "Hallelujah". Every suspicion about the truth of the great human hive is manifest here, and condemnation of society at large is readily at hand. Perhaps this is why I am so drawn to this forgotten valley of corrupted nature, as it mirrors the sickness in my own thoughts. An inch behind my eyes, I believe, is naught but black mayonnaise.
- photo by Mitch Waxman
Maybe I am "all 'effed up", but to me, this is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. "Welcome to Newtown Creek", say I, with hardly any sense or ironic humor or twee dispatch.

Study finds pharmacists slow to refer patients to GPs
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The incidence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), which causes severe diarrhoea, acute toxic colitis and even death, is on the rise in Australian hospitals, according to a study led by researchers at The University of Western Australia.
Associate Professor Claudia Slimings and Professor Thomas Riley from UWA's School of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine found C. difficile incidence had increased dramatically around the world over the past 10 years, with one strain, ribotype 027, being particularly devastating.
This strain was first reported in Australia in 2009 in a woman in Perth who acquired it overseas. The following year, a Melbourne patient who had not been overseas tested positive for the same strain, representing the first locally acquired case.
The study, published today in the Medical Journal of Australia, is the first national collation of surveillance data on CDI. Hospital surveillance programs were instituted nationwide by 2011.
The two-year survey of hospital-identified C. difficile infections (HI-CDI) looked at data from 450 public hospitals, covering 92 per cent of patient-days in Australian acute public hospitals. A total of 12,683 cases of HI-CDI were identified.
The researchers found an overall incidence of 3.65 HI-CDI cases per 10,000 patient-days, with about a quarter of cases being community-acquired. The annual incidence rose by 24 per cent from 3.25 per 10,000 patient-days in 2011 to 4.03 in 2012.
The annual incidence of infections acquired in hospital increased 18 per cent, and those acquired in the community climbed 24 per cent over the course of the survey.
