NEW ORLEANS -- Just ask Julie Fant about her home and see her smile.
'Ohhh, I love it! I love it!' she cried. 'We couldn't have, God couldn't have blessed us with nothing better.'
But in 2007, Julie and husband Wayne, both fighting health problems, spent seven months in the tent city that appeared in Duncan Plaza across from the mayor's office.
'A lot of fighting, a lot of drug usage, but nevertheless we hung in there,' remembered Wayne.
I met Nathaniel Green in 2008 when a second camp opened under I-10 at Canal and Claiborne.
'People are addicted to drugs, and there is a lot of misuse of each other behind those drugs out here,' Green said at the time.
Nathaniel invited me to the home he now rents in Algiers. His retirement program kicked in. His life has changed.
'Overall, I'm a happy man,' he said. 'I'm not begging anybody for anything, I'm a happy man.'
For Wayne and Julie, the normal chores are part of the sheer joy of being in their home.
'We sit in our front room, we look at the television,' said Wayne.
'I love my house,' added Julie. 'A roof over our heads, a bed to lay in. We don't have to worry about laying on the ground.'
And they'll never forget the help they received to get out of the camps.
'Unity and Catholic Charities,' said Wayne.
'Unity got me my first place over on Pacific Avenue,' Green said.
'We were able to permanently house 450 people, more than 450 people, from those two large camps at Duncan Plaza and Canal and Claiborne in eight months,' said Unity Executive Director Martha Kegel.
Homeless support group Unity is still using the strategies developed then to find long-term housing.
'It's really looked on nationally as an incredible achievement,' said Kegel.
Julie is in school and volunteers at a hospital, while Nathaniel earns a few extra dollars selling pralines.
'I say if I can't find a job, I'm going to make a job, so this is what I'm doing right now -- pralines,' said Nathaniel.
'There is a better life,' Wayne said. 'I think that's the reason for this interview, Mr. Capo, is to show that you can become successful after being homeless.'
Of course there still are homeless in New Orleans, like those living under the Pontchartrain Expressway. Julie and Wayne come out there now. They share their story, and hope they can inspire others.

Some Clouds This Afternoon but Weekend Looking Good!
In fact, look for a beautiful weekend with a nice stretch of weather including a warming trend that will take us right through the long holiday weekend!
The winds will kick in out of the southwest on Easter Sunday and Patriot's Day Monday. This will help temperatures to warm up. Skies will be mainly sunny for both days too allowing for a fantastic conditions! A few clouds may mix in during the afternoon however on Monday however temperatures will be pushing 70!
Our next chance for any significant rainfall looks to be Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday – by then we will need some to keep the pollen and brush fire threat in check.
The Boston Marathon: It will be mostly sunny and pleasant for the runners and spectators. At the starting line in Hopkinton, temperatures between 9-11 AM will be in the upper 40s to mid 50s, however readings will climb into the 60's along the route. For most of the race there will be a breeze out of the southwest creating a bit of a tail wind, blowing from right to left. However as the runners move into Boston there still may be a bit of sea breeze so for the last couple of miles there may be a light head wind. This breeze may knock temperatures at the finish line down into the upper 50's. Overall, the weather will cooperate for the runners and the spectators. Just make sure you have the sunscreen and perhaps the light jacket!
Have a great weekend!

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Children's LiteratureJack's mother asks him to sell the cow because their finances are exhausted. Along the way to the market, Jack decides to sell the family cow for a handful of magic beans. In frustration his mother tosses them out the window. Being magic beans, they do indeed grow to a fantastic height. Jack climbs the beanstalk and faces the giantess and her husband. He takes a bag of gold coins. Warned not to go again, Jack can't resist and on this trip he takes the goose that lays golden eggs. Although severely warned by his mother, Jack makes yet another trip and takes the magic singing harp, who alerts her master to the theft. Jack and his mother chop down the beanstalk, killing the giant, and live very happily ever after. In this version the author makes it clear that the giant had stolen things from the family and killed the father, so Jack is merely retrieving what is rightfully his. The version of this fairy/morality tale is the one I remember hearing as a child and it will probably stand up better than most versions.

A sprint to the Finnish
... years ago. We had a friendly chat as far as Baker Street.
I was well early at Heathrow so I decided to go and look at the new terminal 2 and it's famous piece of art. I found this a bit underwhelming as there was nowhere from where you could get a good view. Everything was so close that you could only ever see the trees and never the wood.
Not too long in the lounge at terminal 3 before the announcement ...
Meat and Beer

A brilliant sunset was our reward for the long walk. On the way back to the hostel, we stopped at a nearby pub for a couple pints and a sample of Finnish gin. 24 May 2014: Upon waking up late, we immediately set out for a couple of museums that sounded ...

The actor told American mag 'W' that he absolutely did not have an affair with Angelina Jolie whilst still married to Jen. He said, "What people don't understand is that we filmed 'Mr & Mrs Smith' for a year. 'We were still filming after Jen and I split up. Even then it doesn't mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn't."
And in an attempt to stick up for partner Angelina who said recently that she can't wait for her kids to see the film as it is when she and Brad fell in love, he said,"The film will mean something to our kids. It will, that's all."
And of Jen and that infamous 'Uncool' comment, he says, 'Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart,' he said. "I think she got dragged into that one, and then there's a second round to all of that Angie versus Jen. It's so created."
What Jen thinks of these comments is anyone's guess. But she has started the year on a high, breaking box office records with her new film 'Marley & Me' and is currently loved up with on again/off again boyfriend John Mayer, so we think maybe she is well and truly moving on... finally!

"Sunny today? Yahoooo!"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / Nov 26, 2013
Yahoo! Weather is the official Yahoo! weather forecast app for Android
Since weather conditions determine our daily activity and, specially, our weekend plans, it's good having plenty of info about it. However, there are some apps out there that provide too much info or show it in a chaotic way, unintelligible for the average user. Yahoo! Weather is one of the most balanced app regarding amount of info and user-friendly interface. Let's see why.
First off, it displays a homescreen with the basic info: location, time, weather condition (mostly cloudy, sunny, raining, etc), current temperature and maximum/minimum temperature expected. The background of this homescreen is made up by public photos taken from Flickr related to your location. You can add as many locations as you want and switch between them just by swiping right.
In order to access detailed info in your current location, you just need to scroll down to see: weekly forecast, weather details, map, precipitation chance, wind & pressure and sun & moon (dusk and dawn time). All the info displayed is perfectly understandable for any user: there aren't technical concepts and all concepts are backed by icons to catch the idea at a glance.
Interface is, as I said, its strongest point. All the info is displayed on a glass layout which background is those photos taken from Flickr I mentioned above. It as smooth as silk. Must-have.
Prepare for your day with the most accurate hourly, 5-day, and 10-day forecasts. Stunning Flickr photos match your location, time of day, and current conditions.
Favorite features
- Get all the details: wind, pressure, and chance of precipitation.
- See animated sunrise, sunset, wind, and pressure modules.
- Browse interactive maps: radar, satellite, heat, and snow.

I like the app, it works well with my Samsung Galaxy SII. The weather can be a bit off not quite right, I see rain outside then 30 minutes later it shows up on the app. that needs sorting out!!!!!!!
Excellent application
Best weather informer in world compared to other websites and it is nice to see pic of different cities. The feature of icon pic only available on yahoo weather app.nice at all.
One of the better ones
I have no complaints about it yet
It is just ok
I appreciate accuracy over information. I really just want to know what the temperature is that's all.

Jun 18, 2012Outside of hating action RPGs or not having $20, I can't think of another reason to pass on this game.
Jul 9, 2012It's not perfect and certainly has its share of hiccups, but if you go in expecting to tear up some mean guys and rock out to some great music, you'll definitely be happy. And with a $20 price tag, you really can't go wrong.
Jun 11, 2012Ys Origin is a very tightly crafted experience. Considering that a single playthrough with one character will only take about six to seven hours, it's amazing how much story is packed into that amount of time.
Jul 10, 2012Between the two Ys games released on Steam this year, I feel that Ys Origin is just that bit better than Ys: The Oath in Felghana. Both are great titles, but Origin builds on the formula with a solid, constructed experience from start to finish that never gets stale, great pacing, multiple and distinctive characters and a fast, in your face combat system. For £12.99 on Steam, you seriously cannot go wrong with checking out this top action RPG.
Aug 12, 2012A cute, quirky anime dungeon crawl that will cheerfully kick your arse until your nose starts bleeding. [Sept 2012, p.84]
Jul 5, 2012We are deep in fan-service-territory with this one. (…) Y´s Origin is a small nerdy pleasure for everyone who misses the 16-/32-bit era, but does not want to resort to going completely retro.
Jul 6, 2012Six years after Ys Origin was published in Japan we can finally enjoy it in English. It's not beautiful, it doesn't sound good and doesn't offer an exquisite story. What it does offer is tons of fun. [August 2012, p.63]

Ys Origin is aI noticed not many people are capable of writing a proper review, so I had to chime in. Ys Origin is NOT a console experience. Ys Origin is a PC exclusive. Although Falcom has recently turned to the psp and vita after they lost their PC distributor, they developed almost exclusively PC since the early 80s. The Zelda feeling people are getting should be flipped: the Ys series, which branched off from Dragonslayer, began in 1987. The first LoZ was released in 1986. Dragonslayer began in 1984. The modern day Zelda experience is absolutely nothing like Ys, and serves as a horrible comparison. Ys is traditionally known for its music and difficult boss fights. The composers are from the jdk sound team, which is the remnants of the jdk band from the early 90s. Their primary genre was metal. The boss fights and general gameplay is often cited as using button mashing. Unless you want to die every time, you won't use button mashing. Most boss fights have patterns and tiers, so you can't just inflict massive amounts of damage all at once. Many people also tend to think the gameplay requires grinding. Since levels only affect your base stats, this statement is false. The stages within boss fights do not allow you to do any more than a set amount of damage, so all grinding helps you with is staying alive longer if you get hit a lot. In short, grinding is only necessary if you're bad.
A single playthrough on Nightmare takes about 30 hours the first time through. There are 3 playable characters with different stories and boss fights, so a full, 100% completion of the story could take you 70 or 80 hours to complete. There is also a time attack mode for boss fights, which helps to add a bit more replay ability to the game. For $20, this is a great game that everyone should consider trying.… Expand

I played through the game with dual Lone-Wolf on theI played this game beginning to end and finished much (70-80%) of the side quests. I played through the game with dual Lone-Wolf on the hardest difficulty to get the best possible experience. I have about 100 hours invested in the game as of the writing of this review. Here is a quick rundown of the pro's and cons from my play through.
*RPG Element - The RPG element of the game is deep and well fleshed out. This is a break of fresh air considering how shallow and watered down RPG games have been over the past 10 years.
*Strategy Element - This isn't a run in and destroy everything type of game. Strategy is very much required and with the interaction with environment and very large skill trees it makes for dynamic and rich strategic combat. Even with a perfectly built out team, best gear, best skills/spells, without implementing good strategy you will get destroyed
*No Grind - One of the first RPGs I have ever played where you don't grind and yet you make it through the game trying to stay ahead of the difficulty curve. Monsters don't re-spawn which means you can level beyond the monster which keeps the game tough, but it also eliminates the type of grinding required in 99% of all RPGs.
Rewarding Battles - This is a combination of all of the above, most battles, even small trash mob type battles took me anywhere from 15-60 minutes to complete. Again the game puts an emphasis on strategy and instead of grinding the same mob hundreds of times for hours, you fight 1 mob 1 time but they make sure you work for it and you get rewarded as if you had been grinding it for hours.
Rich World - The world is rich and vibrant. Some of the world feels bright and happy while other parts are dark and foreboding. The developers did a great job at drawing you deep into the game both through story telling and developing a world so real you forget you are playing a game.
*Good Skill Tree/Loot - The game doesn't shower you in uber gear but it also doesn't keep it out of reach. You feel like you find good gear just often enough to make it rewarding but not so often that it becomes meaningless. My only complain here is that is errs a little to much to the side of being too stingy with gear. There were times where I would go 20-30 hours of gameplay before I found that better pair of gloves. Also there are plenty of well flesh out skill trees. You learn different skill trees, mix and match and try and find the best synergies between different trees. Because of that there is an almost unlimited number of unique character builds.
I could probably list another half dozen minor things but those are the major pro's that stand out. My only complaint of this game is that the story line starts strong in the beginning but because a bit shallow and far fetched towards the end. Also the graphics are merely "ok". Although the game does have very nice looking spell animation. Overall any minor cons of this game are all but forgotten with all of the good it has going for it.

The challenge is high in this one, though slightly easier than Felghana on nightmare. Any fan of ARPGs should check this out. There is a high replay value as there are three different character story lines to follow. The boss fight mechanics are outstanding and vary between difficulties AND characters...not just in hit points, but tactics required. The Ys series is underrated IMO and deserves more recognition.… Expand

Use of a gamepad isThis is a fun, neatly-made little ARPG with combat that requires more than repeatedly hitting the attack button. Use of a gamepad is preferred. I picked it up during a Steam Sale and am very satisfied with the purchase.
It's a dungeon crawler (or in this case: climber) that manages to keep things fresh enough so that it doesn't get boring. It also has some very entertaining boss fights. The graphics will remind you of a few old SNES games, but despite that are very sharp and hi-res. Environments & visual effects are also very nice and there are a few anime cutscenes thrown in for good measure.
The weakest part is the story, which is a bit blah. Not as bad as other JRPGs I've played, but still has that overall unserious feel (e.g. demons are taking over the world and only the axe-wielding, 12 year old girl with the oven mitts can save us) as well as the sometimes spotty dialogue. Additionally, you can play through the game as three different characters, but your experience will be pretty much the same each time aside from different attack methods, so there isn't much reason to.
From a pure gaming standpoint, though, this one's worth at least one playthrough.… Expand
Aug 25, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally a YS game I actually liked and they had to f*** it up. The game was a very enjoyable mix of rpg and platforming until I reached THE F****** CREEPER BOSS. NOT ONLY DID THEY MAKE ALL OF HIS ATTACKS COVER THE ENTIRE AREA BUT THEY MADE THOSE F****** EYES KEEP MULTIPLYING AND HEALING HIM. THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I CAN KILL THEM ALL AND KILL THE THING BEFORE I DIE. I'm sure some hardcore freaks like that kind of thing but I'm not one of them. Oh and the game has a tendency to crash occasionally as well.… Expand

Julien: 'We collapsed' in third period meltdown
|12.15.09 at 1:39 am ET
Claude Julien expected more from his team on Monday night.
He thought after his Bruins killed a 5-on-3 Philadelphia power play in the first period, they would come out for the jugular.
He thought after they worked and worked and finally got a late second-period goal from Vladimir Sobokta on a lucky re-direct of a centering pass from Shawn Thornton, they would find a way to put away the Flyers in the third period. They were 9-0-0 before Monday night in similar situations this season.
And he thought, despite a Sobokta goal being disallowed earlier in the game, the Bruins would outwork the dispirited Flyers and come away with two points.
If Monday's game were a multiple choice game, none of the above would be the correct answer as the Flyers scored three unanswered goals in the final 20 minutes and came away with a much-needed, much deserved 3-1 win at TD Garden.
Claude Julien said his team simply collapsed in a third-period meltdown.
Julien said he expected more from his team after killing a Flyers 5-on-3 power play.
Julien said he was disappointed his team wasn't ready for the third.
Zdeno Chara said two good periods wasn't good enough on Monday.

MotoGP™ BasicsBack to index
There is plenty of technical language used to describe the engines which power the racing prototypes on which the riders participate in the MotoGP™ World Championship, but most of it is fairly easy to understand if taken piece by piece and explained simply, even if the machinery itself is technologically advanced and complex in nature.
2-stroke and 4-stroke - 2-stroke engines were predominant in the World Championship until the switch to the 990cc 4-stroke class in 2002, reflecting production trends, with 2-stroke bikes being the popular choice from the 1960s through to the 1990s.
If 2-stroke engines proved more powerful than 4-strokes with similar engine capacities and similar rev counts, 4-strokes engines are more energy efficient and greener. This is because 4-strokes have a dedicated lubrication system, while 2-stroke engines burn a mixture of oil and gas.
As most manufacturers shifted their production towards bigger 4-stroke powered machines, the move to a 4-stroke prototype formula only seemed natural.
The key difference between the two types of engine lies in the combustion process: the four 'strokes' refer to the intake, compression, combustion and exhaust movements which occur during two crankshaft rotations per working cycle.
The 2-stroke internal combustion engine differs from the 4-stroke engine in that it completes the same four processes in only two strokes of the piston.
Single cylinder, two cylinder, four cylinder and six cylinder engines - While technical rules restrict the Moto3™ World Championship to single cylinder engines and Moto2™ to the Official Engine, MotoGP™ bikes were allowed from one to six cylinders or more up until 2012 when a limit of 4 cylinders with a maximum cylinder bore measurement of 81 mm was introduced.
According to the FIM rulebook, the number of cylinders dictates what the minimum accepted weight of the bike will be, and ballast may be added to achieve it. Due to unit cylinder performance and power-to-weight ratio, all the MotoGP™ manufacturers opted to use four cylinder engines even before the regulation was introduced.
However, those engines come in different forms, as some manufacturers, such as Ducati, Aprilia and Honda currently opt for V4 architecture, while Yamaha, BMW and Kawasaki have developed 'inline four' engines.
With V4's the cylinders and pistons are aligned separately to each other, so that they take on a 'V-shape' from an angle looking along the crankshaft axis. This configuration decreases the total height, length and weight of the engine, in comparison with straight engine inline equivalents.
The choice of engine architecture has as much to do with design philosophy and the manufacturer's heritage as with weight transfer and goals in terms of bike 'rideability'.
Meanwhile, the terms 250cc(Moto3™), 600cc (Moto2™), 1000cc (MotoGP™) used to describe the three current categories in the World Championship simply refer to the 'engine displacement' or 'cubic capacity' of the respective machinery.
The biggest change in the premier class over the years has been the switch from 4-stroke to 2-stroke engines and back to 4-stroke in 2002, reflecting the need for technical progression and innovation in the sport - in keeping with the development of production bikes.
In the early days of the World Championship the premier class was dominated by 4-stroke machinery from mostly European manufacturers. The early 4-stroke engines were cumbersome, heavy, required a lot of maintenance and were never the most reliable of units.
Through the 1960s Japanese manufacturers such as Suzuki and Yamaha started to make their presence felt in the smaller cylinder classes with 2-stroke machinery. The lighter 2-stroke presented more possibilities for tuning and was seen as the future of the sport.
Although the 1970s and even 1980s saw a period of technical change that permitted even private 'built in the garage' motorcycles to go Grand Prix racing, it was the might of the Japanese engineering and initiative that would soon provide the most competitive racing tools.
As the Japanese slowly forged ahead with 2-stroke technology, the 4-strokes would fade out in a matter of seasons as the 500cc four-cylinder 2-stroke became available on a production scale from Japan.
With the 2-strokes becoming more reliable and more powerful, the engines actually threw more emphasis onto the rest of the motorcycle and evolution began at a rapid rate through the 1980s. Tyres, suspension, aerodynamics and even chassis design all saw a wealth of development.
In the early 1990s, speeds had reached a peak in MotoGP. Light, agile, and extremely hard to ride, the 500cc bikes were faster than ever to ride as an all-Japanese premier class sought to push the performances of the machines to the limit and new heights. By 1992 a breakthrough emerged when Honda started to experiment with a revised firing order on their all-conquering NS500.
Dubbed 'Big Bang', the revised crankshaft mechanism placed an emphasis more on acceleration than outright top speed and Mick Doohan went on to dominate the class on the new bike. Honda also produced a V-twin version of their four cylinder motorcycle which helped privateers remain competitive against the factory bikes and for the first time technical emphasis leaned more towards corner speed than outright horse-power; a trait that remains to a certain degree in MotoGP™ today.
By the late 1990s Doohan had reverted back to the 'harsher' engine order in his quest for more speed. Nicknamed the 'Screamer', this and the 'Big Bang' version of the NS500 won World Championships from 1994 to 1999.
In 2000 Suzuki enjoyed a last hoorah on the RGV 500 2-stroke; a motorcycle developed from predecessors that had originally dominated the class back in the late 1970s and early 80s.
4-STROKE 990cc
With 2-stroke technology reaching a plateau, improved 4-stroke engines marked the way forward. The MotoGP™ landscape changed in 2002 in order to ensure that there was continual technological evolution, and 990cc 4-strokes were allowed to compete with the 500cc 2-strokes. The 4-strokes were immediately competitive, and by 2003 no 2-strokes remained on the grid. The following six seasons produced a massive acceleration in the technical possibilities with variable cylinder structures and quantities, telemetry, data collection and manually adjustable engine mapping switches now standard.
MotoGP is now a highly evolved and scientific competition with traction control and electronics playing an important role in the delivery of the power and adjusting the balance of the motorcycle to make the best use of the engine's performance.
The MotoGP™ category saw the engine size reduced from 990cc to 800cc in 2007, with an aim to reduce speed. While the speeds remained the same, they did so through the size and dynamics of the motors placing more focus on the corner speed of the machinery, as opposed to the brute power of the 990s.
In line with cost reduction policies, engine restrictions have been enforced since 2009. A regulation stating that each rider is allowed only 6 engines at their disposal for the whole season commenced in 2010. Limiting the number of engines means the manufacturers have to produce more reliable powerplants, which calls for reducing their power output and revs, hence slowing down the overall increase in performance of the bikes.
A move to a 1000cc formula in 2012 was accompanied with further restrictions than were in place during the 990cc era. The number of cylinders is limited to 4 and the maximum cylinder bore (the diameter of the cylinder) is 81mm for bikes with a minimum weight of 160kg.
The former 125 and 250cc classes were hosts to 2-stroke engines, being the original homes of the 2-stoke. Firms such as Derbi, Kreidler and Bultaco were 50cc, 80cc and 125cc competitors with 2-strokes in the 1960s, and 2-strokes littered the 350cc division.
Outside the premier class, 2-strokes permitted the most cost-effective means of racing and being competitive. The 2-stroke prospered with carburetion, tuning and set-up becoming a specialised skill that saw a host of names in the Grand Prix paddock making their names through the late 1970s, 80s and into the 90s.
Today, the general consensus is that the limits of 2-stroke technology have largely been reached in all classes, and therefore 2012 was the dawn of a technically relevant new era, with four stroke motorcycles filling all three fields of the championship.
The Moto2™ class replaced the 250cc category from the start of 2010. The bikes are powered by a 600c 4-stroke spec Honda engine that produces around 140bhp, with a prototype chassis free from limitations of design and construction.
The 125cc category was replaced with Moto3™ from 2012. These are single cylinder, four-stroke engines produced by any manufacturer, with a crankshaft speed limit of 14,000rpm and a spec ECU.

If You're Thinking of Living In | Audubon Terrace
An Uptown Pocket With Historic Roots
By NANCY BETH JACKSON
Published: April 11, 2004
WHILE Audubon Terrace, the name of the historic district and the museum complex at Broadway and West 155th Street, may be one of New York City's biggest secrets, the neighborhood surrounding it is even less well known. The pocket of Beaux-Arts apartment buildings and row houses falls roughly within the old boundaries of Minniesland, the estate where John James Audubon, the painter and naturalist, lived out his last years before his death in 1851.
"For the first 11 years I lived here, I didn't know where I lived," admitted Matthew Spady, now an avid neighborhood history buff. "This is like a subneighborhood in Washington Heights and always has considered itself as such."
The Audubon family owned 30 to 40 wilderness acres, but the exact boundaries are a little fuzzy because the land was developed before the city's street grid extended beyond 155th Street. Also, the Audubons bought and sold various parcels over the years. Generally, the property is thought to have stretched from what is now 155th to 158th Streets from Amsterdam Avenue (then Bloomingdale Road) to the Hudson River. Some sources suggest the estate originally included land between 153rd and 155th now occupied by the Church of the Intercession and Trinity Church Cemetery, where Audubon and other notables like John Jacob Astor are buried.
The neighborhood continues to defy geographic labels. It is anchored administratively in Washington Heights but has many cultural ties to Harlem. "A potpourri, a checkerboard, but a real neighborhood of long standing," said Lynn Spanich of the Corcoran Group.
East of Broadway, modest row houses, mostly rentals, are laid out in grid fashion on the part of the estate once described as "a flat rocky tract without shrubbery, timber or other attractions." To the west, where the Audubons built homes in forests of oak, chestnut and pine, are the Beaux-Arts apartment buildings like the Grinnell and the Riviera that replaced the mansions early in the 20th century, streets at odd angles and a Riverside Drive that briefly splits into three branches.
The population is diverse ethnically and economically. Many of the African-American and Hispanic residents, mostly of Dominican origin, are second- or third-generation New Yorkers. Artists, academics, actors, doctors and lawyers have lived on both sides of Broadway for years.
"It's a very stable neighborhood," with very few sales in the course of the year, said Orlando Rivera, executive director of the Greater Harlem Real Estate Board and Development Fund. He sees it as an undiscovered pocket in the real estate rush to Northern Manhattan, where prices per square foot have risen 63 percent in the past four years.
The subway stop for the No. 1 train at 157th Street and the M4 and M5 buses give easy access to work and public and private schools from elementary through university. The Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Complex is a few blocks to the north. Many apartment buildings, including a medium-income Mitchell-Lama tower with a waiting list of two to three years, have river views. The George Washington Bridge and major highways are within minutes.
LOCATION attracted John James Audubon, his two sons and their families in the early 1840's. New York City — where he was studying rats — was an hour and a half carriage ride in good weather on Bloomingdale Road, then the main route between the city and Yonkers. Shops in Carmansville were a quarter of a mile to the east; the larger Manhattanville was south at what is 125th Street today.
A spring at the top of the hill at what is now 157th Street, became a stream that fed into the Hudson. Grand forest trees populated much of the property, named Minniesland in honor of Audubon's wife, Lucy; "minnie" was an old term for "mother" in Scotland, where the family had lived.
Using profits from the folio edition of "Birds of America," Audubon built a large white frame house with veranda, backing it up against the river bluff, and enclosures for the wild animals he studied. Pet fawns and elk often grazed on the lawn.
He added a scientific studio and entertained colleagues like Samuel F. B. Morse, the artist and inventor of the telegraph. Morse erected a mast to string wire across the Hudson to send messages between New York and New Jersey.
But the idyll began to pale about the time the naturalist died. Real estate poor, the family struggled to support Minniesland. "They possessed much land, but in those days there was little or no market for land," wrote George Bird Grinnell, author of a 1927 history. To make ends meet, Mr. Audubon's younger son built a boarding house just east of the present Broadway to house German workers at a sugar refinery on the Hudson at what is now 160th.
The family sold the easterly part of the estate early on, developing the woodsy western section into a residential neighborhood known until about 1915 as Audubon Park. Residents west of Broadway recently revived the name in an application to extend historic designation northward to 160th.

The Testament of Freedom
The Testament of Freedom is a four-movement work for men's chorus and piano composed in 1943 by Randall Thompson. It was premiered on April 13, 1943 by the Virginia Glee Club under the direction of Stephen Tuttle; the composer served as pianist. Thompson later orchestrated the piece, and also produced an arrangement for mixed chorus. The music was published in 1944.
The piece was written for the Virginia Glee Club while Thompson was teaching at the University of Virginia, and was meant to celebrate the bicentennial of the birth of Thomas Jefferson; consequently, the text for the work was taken from Jefferson's writings. Although it was meant as an occasional work, the piece was soon seen as an opportunity to project an uplifting message about the United States in wartime; its premiere was recorded by CBS and quickly broadcast nationwide. It was also transmitted by shortwave radio over the OWI network to Allied servicemen stationed in Europe.
On April 14, 1945, it was performed by Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall as part of a concert in memory of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had died two days earlier. The piece continues to be popular and is performed frequently by men's choruses.
The first of the piece's four movements is similar in style to a hymn; it opens with a five-note instrumental invocation meant to rhythmically spell out the name "Thomas Jefferson". The melody used in the movement reappears in various forms throughout the rest of the piece. The second movement is slower in nature, and resembles a dirge; numerous writers, including Virgil Thompson, commented on its resemblance to Eastern Orthodox chant. The third movement is a scherzo, while the fourth recapitulates themes heard in the other movements. The work ends with a return of the initial melody and text.
The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy but cannot disjoin them.
- —A Summary View of the Rights of British America (1774)
We have counted the cost of this contest, and find nothing so dreadful as voluntary slavery. Honor, justice, and humanity forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage upon them.
Our cause is just. Our union is perfect. Our internal resources are great… We gratefully acknowledge, as signal instances of the Divine favor towards us, that His Providence would not permit us to be called into this severe controversy until we were grown up to our present strength, had been previously exercised in warlike operation, and possessed of the means of defending ourselves. With hearts fortified with these animating reflections, we most solemnly, before God and the world, declare that, exerting the utmost energy of those powers which our beneficent Creator hath graciously bestowed upon us, the arms we have been compelled by our enemies to assume we will, in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverance, employ for the preservation of our liberties; being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live slaves.
- —Declaration of Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms (July 6, 1775)
We fight not for glory or for conquest. We exhibit to mankind the remarkable spectacle of a people attacked by unprovoked enemies, without any imputation or even suspicion of offense. They boast of their privileges and civilization, and yet proffer no milder conditions than servitude or death.
In our native land, in defense of the freedom that is our birthright and which we ever enjoyed till the late violation of it; for the protection of our property, acquired solely by the honest industry of our forefathers and ourselves; against violence actually offered; we have taken up arms. We shall lay them down when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors and all danger of their being renewed shall be removed, and not before.
- —Declaration of Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms (July 6, 1775)
I shall not die without a hope that light and liberty are on steady advance... And even should the cloud of barbarism and despotism again obscure the science and liberties of Europe, this country remains to preserve and restore light and liberty to them...The flames kindled on the 4th of July, 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them.
The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy but cannot disjoin them.[1]
- —Letter to John Adams, Monticello (September 12, 1821)
Critical reception[edit]
The Testament of Freedom was immediately regarded as a populist work rather than a typically classical one; Olin Downes said that it gave "reassurance...in a troubled hour". Others were more in agreement with composer Donald Fuller, who stated that it would best "suit some child's game with toy soldiers".

The world of Howler's sophomore album

There's no small correlation between the fact that "I Just Wanted to See You So Bad"--the opening track on 1988's Lucinda Williams--is on my Greatest Songs Ever Written shortlist and the minor detail that I've had three long-distance relationships in seven years. On the page, the song's lyrics are a beautiful description of finally meeting a long-distance lover face to face. Williams's condensation of an entire relationship into a single song is accomplished in 27 lines, 12 of which are recitations of the title. Which is pretty damn literary. But on record, its shout-along hook and its rollicking organ lick carry equal significance.
It might be inevitable that most of the reviews I read about Lucinda Williams and its long-awaited followups--1992's mortality-minded Sweet Old World and 1998's Rand McNally tribute album, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road--made them seem less like musical works than exceptionally good dissertations. But those words wouldn't carry nearly as much impact without Williams's rounded, almost voluptuous melodies and careworn vocals supporting them.
A relatively speedy three years after Car Wheels, the new Essence (Lost Highway/Mercury) opens with a song that simultaneously de-emphasizes and sharpens the focus of the lyrics. "Lonely Girls" might as well be a haiku. Never mind lines: There are a total of 21 words stretched over four languid minutes. Williams's lazy drawl has seldom sounded so tender, so forlorn. But she's not drowning in self-pity, either. She's just meditating, as usual, on the details, as in the line "Heavy blankets cover lonely girls."
"Steal Your Love" is equally brilliant, with Williams searing her words ("Did they lay down a law and lock up your heart?/I'm gonna have to steal your love") into Bo Ramsey's subdued guitar line like a brand burning into leather. The ingenious "I Envy the Wind" completes the opening hat trick. Or it would, except that Williams opts to sing the whole thing in a vibrato that feels as overstated as the steroid-enhanced country crooning (see: Faith Hill) that her latecoming minor success is supposed to counteract. (After years of cult status, Car Wheels went gold.)
A similar overcompensation affects the title track. Not only does Williams sing it in an embarrassing slavering growl, the song itself feels just as uncomfortable, with said "essence" acting as a clunky stand-in for something ethereal (aura, let's say) and earthy (wink wink, nudge nudge). It's enough to make you long for the refreshing candor of Penthouse Forum. It's also one of the only songs here that actually jumps rather than seeps out of the speakers. (The other is the rousing "Get Right With God," whose tongue-in-cheek title acknowledges that winning His favor is something she needs to work on.)
Still, most of Essence is worth the attention it requires. I'm especially fond of "Reason to Cry," in which the singer figures that "when nothing makes sense/You've got a reason to cry." If Williams wants to use her skills--literary, or otherwise--to make a terrific, albeit uneven, album every three years instead of a perfect one every six, then I'll second that emotion.

On the day Jerry Jones named his new full-time head coach two years ago, he insisted that Jason Garrett would have final say on everything that happens on the roster and the coaching staff. There was a belief, by some, that Jones' longtime relationship with Garrett and his father would provide the foundation for a respectful working arrangement. But in the aftermath of another 8-8 season that doesn't include a playoff trip, Jerry has taken back that promise. Garrett told reporters Monday that he expected to continue calling plays and that he felt like the "program" was moving forward. It only took Jones a day to undercut his head coach in suggesting that changes were in store. He could've at least had the decency to pretend that some of these changes were Garrett's idea, but that's not his style. He let it be known on his weekly radio show (105.3) that he was "irritated" and that it would be "uncomfortable" for the next few weeks and months at Valley Ranch. And that's why Garrett h...

School Notes:
At Cathedral School, we strive to improve our school each year by introducing new and challenging programs. All areas of the curriculum are important to give our students a well-rounded education. The religious dimension is the most important facet of our educational program. To teach the children about God is, indeed, a privilege and a grace for those who teach at Cathedral School. To assist the students in developing a strong relationship with God, while sharing our faith with them, is a great gift for them and for each of us. Seeing children turn to God for help, even when they are very small, allows us a glimpse of what really matters.
