text: Share on FacebookShare on TwitterPin it!E-mail For a relatively down-to-earth group of folks, Dutch people certainly love all things royal. At the top of the royal list would of course have to be their beloved Koningin (queen, that is)! Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard is the current Queen of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Yes, my friends it is a kingdom and includes more than just the lowlands. In a sort of a twee-halen-een-betalen-way (buy-1-get-1-free), the Queen also proceeds over the exotic islands of Curacao, Sint Maarten and Arbua. What better way to show the Queen some serious love then by throwing a massive, nation-wide, festive, rowdy, celebratory –and most importantly–orange F-I-E-S-T-A! Koninginnedag (Queen's Day) is held every year on April 30th and has been celebrated for over 100 years, originating in 1891 to celebrate the birthday of Queen Wilhelmina. Things get a little tricky here, so stay with me: Queen Wilhelmina's actual birthday was in August – but in 1948 the Queen's Day holiday was re-scheduled to April 30th with the coronation of the new Queen Juliana, who's b-day is indeed on the 30th of April. It appears that Queen Beatrix was not as egocentric, as she continued with the April 30th tradition, although her birthday is actually January 31st (a bit chilly for a street party, eh?). In Amsterdam, Queen's Day is a frenetic sea of orange. The Dutch (+ thousands of orange-wanna-be tourists) turn oranjegekte (orange crazed) and take to the streets en-masse for major celebrations. It's one day when Dutch people are allowed to drag all their household junk onto the streets and sell it, tax free. I don't need to tell you that Dutch people like love a bargain – so this whole entire-city-is-a-flea-market-thing goes off real swell! Bells sound, bands play, children perform, deals made, bargains found, copious amounts of alcohol consumed. All-in-all, its a rip-roaring, orange-wearing, national-pride-instilling kinda of day! Of course this year marks the end of Trixy's 33 year reign, and as a truly beloved Queen she will be greatly missed by the people of the Netherlands. Her son Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange, will be sworn in today (April 30th 2013) becoming the world's youngest King at a mere 46 years of age and the first male monarch of the Netherlands since 1890. Can boys do it better? We have yet to find out!

It's so much fun to see a 60 year old woman form Cleveland Ohio thinking: "I knew Europe was a cesspool, but that this was as bad as this????". And basically: being at the Prinsengracht, looking at literally thousands of boats, each filled with loads of people having the most fun you can think off, listening to a vast array of great house music, then you can't help but love the fact that you've had the great fortune of being in Amsterdam on Queen's Day! Reply Marisa Sep 2011 Man, I totally agree….almost as good is seeing the looks on the faces of businesspeople and tourists stumble on the celebration in cities worldwide! We went to the one in San Francisco this year and I have never seen Union Square so orange! It was great! Reply pom Jun 2011 Een halen twee betalen?!

(just act normal, that is crazy enough). I love it. Spend my first Queen's Day in Amsterdam this year (I know I'm not such a good Dutch person) and it was just fun allround, everyone was happy and the atmosphere was great (even with all the drunk people). The streets are overflowing with this sea of people clad in funny orange outfits <3 Reply Jeroen Aug 2011 I second that. Last year was my first Q-day in A'dam. (And I'm Dutch.) I don't believe in nationalism or 'pride of ur country' (what did I contribute?) but I was actually proud to be in AMS! Reply Adriana Jul 2011 I live in Amsterdam but I hate queensday. All these drunk loud obnoxious people, trash all over the place, people shoving you.. YUCK! Gaypride is such a better event in Amsterdam, less obnoxious and drunk people, better atmosphere in the city! Reply Bart Craenmehr Aug 2011 can only think about the taloids here … they make a good way up for our Royal family stories, queens day and so on. Can everyone still remember Charles his teabag letter to Camilla (in my mind springs "rooibos tea to gine a hint"). Or William taking the helicopter from the RAF for a private party… I was in malaysia when he got married … even there it was on every channel. Nice sentimental. I think we all have some patriotic love? Reply Naantje Sep 2011 Patriotic love, probably, but as of yet, I have never met a Belgian as crazy about the royals as the Dutch or English are! Reply eikwijt May 2012 I agree, but that's the problem with Belgium. This country doesn't exist really, it is divided within Flanders and Wallonia. But there stil exist one Belgian: the king ! marcel Jun 2012 The Belgian royal family is a disgrace. No kingdom, no glamour, just a bunch of not very smart people who get caught. I still remember Boudewijn abdicating for a day because he didn't want to sign the abortion law. At least Bernhard had the good grace of being a real scoundrel. Pete Aug 2013 Belgium is a political construction, not a state. And still a work in progress, according to Flemish friends. After cessation from the Netherlands, Flanders (Flemish) and Wallonia (French) were fused together, resulting in what we now know as Belgium. This wasn't to be a happy union: back in 1961, the country even stood on the brink of civil war! The original idea was to create a buffer state in order to keep regional powers France and Germany out of each others' hair. But this went a little awry in 1914-1918 when major differences were slogged out on Belgian soil, in the main. And when history repeated itself some twenty years later. The powers-that-be at the cradle of the young country decided that monarchy would be its best bet. And so a King was recruited, from the ranks of European nobility – without any input from the Flemish or the Wallons, of course – and plonked inside the Royal Palace in Laken. It's because of this that there's never been much love lost between Belgian royals and their subjects – with the exception of Queen Astrid (who died young), King Boudewijn and Queen Fabiola (very popular, she, in her day; he a little less so) and King Albert (much respected for his wisdom). But two of the three Leopolds would currently be regarded as thieves and murderers on a massive scale. And the former Crown Prince Philippe (now King) is heartily distrusted, in wide circles of Belgian society. Rosana Gruijters-Ramella Sep 2011 Hahahahaha… I'm laughing so hard here! Perfect description! But indeed you forgot to mention about the boats and the "Pee" stands… I was so surprised to see every guy just putting their "boy" out of their pants and going right there in the middle of the fun! No door, no privacy, no shame!! Four stands in one! I had to take a picture of my husband last year! Nobody would ever believed me!!! Reply Toek Sep 2011 Used to live in Amsterdam and Loved Queens day. Last year we brought some English friends with us and they where amazed by the number of people having blast. One commend though. If you try to inform people on the date and the 30th of April is on a Sunday they will be a day late and missed the entire thing. We Dutch do not get drunk on a Sunday so than it moves to the 29th of April. Great Blog! Love to read it! Reply diantha Sep 2011 i can relate so much to this blog. but pleaseee, spellcheck Aruba Reply Caroline Dennis Oct 2011 and what about Bonaire?? Isn't that one of the Antilles islands? I was always taught ABC……..Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao Reply ablabius Feb 2012 The status of the islands changes every few years. They used to be one political body, with the seat of government (the governer`s chair, so to speak) on Curaçao, then Aruba – which, contrary to the other island still has some 'ab original' inhabitants – gained the 'status aparte'. Now, if I got this right, all the bigger islands have their own government and the three smaller islands, Bonaire, Saba & St Eustatius are Dutch 'gemeenten' and are basically ruled by city councils. Reply hessel Dec 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K1vpU8vzRs Enough said. Reply Diederik v/d Boor (@vdboor) May 2012 Definitely and a very hilarious act too Reply Claudia Huizer Apr 2013 So funny, great for posting it. Reply ablabius Feb 2012 Yes, the Dutch are a constitutional monarchy. But Beatrix is not the queen, although she is called that. By constitution, the head of state is the king, but nowhere in the constitutionis it stipulated that the king has to be male. Therefor, Beatrix is king. She would have ruled Luxemburg as well, but the Luxemburgers were somewhat more strict in the sex requirement, so when Wilhelmina ascended the throne, the personal union with Luxemburg was broken. The spouse of the head of state is technically the queen. Fortunately, the monarch presides over the roll of nobility and can change titles as and when she sees fit, or there would have been a Queen Hendrik, a Queen Bernhard, and a Queen Claus. The reason the Dutch have their garage-sales in the streets is not because they don`t have to pay taxes that day (you can sell old junk without paying taxes anytime of the year) but because on that single day they don`t have to acquire a street-vendor`s license in order to do so. (The rest of the year they will have to sell their junk from their garage, or on Marktplaats.nl .) This basically means: No Consumer Protection. Stay away from 'kip-saté' unless the sign says 'sateh ajam' and even then, don`t buy it after noon. Of course, the best part of koninginnedag is the preceding koniginnenâg. Reply Josien Mar 2012 Beatrix became queen on april 30th and the weather is really bad in january, so thats why Queensday is still in april. Reply Tom Mar 2012 And the best thing off all is that if Koninginnedag is on a Sunday, we move it to the Saturday. Reply Mike May 2012 Thats because Dutch prozzies don't like it when others party on their day of prayer. Reply Tim Mar 2012 You said een-halen-twee-betalen which means get one pay for two. It's the other way 'round. Reply Queen's Day Weekend « Natsumi Apr 2012 […] Queen's day is coming in a few days. We're having 14 guests, all from Scotland or England.

Reply Guus Frenken Jun 2012 Make #1: Kijken Kijken niet kopen (Only looking, not buying) Dutch people love to walk into many stores and just look around and not buying stuff. Reply Heleen Jul 2012 een-halen-twee-betalen is not really a good offer… (it means buy 1 and pay for 2).

And the day on duty may have been Koninginnedag (although I'm not altogether sure here: the European or World footie championship could just as well have been on, around the time). As I was supervising the section allocated to me earlier that morning, in walked this lad of 17 or 18, attired in a bright orange T-shirt, with parts of the Dutch national anthem printed on front and back, and wearing a sizable plastic windmill, in garish blue, on his head. There also was a rather odd item of clothing around his legs – but I can't remember what exactly now. This, without a shadow of a doubt, was a DUTCH bloke. And his exotic apparel, so obviously out of sync with the ambiance, certainly attracted some funny looks. Oblivious of his own ridiculousness, however, the young man carried on regardlessly, in order to inspect the star turn in that room. But I thought I went through the floor for embarrassment! There is a time and place for everything. But not for some Dutch, apparently: regardless of the bare minimum of decorum expected or local sensibilities. There's a word for this, in Dutch: 'bot'. In English that would be 'blunt'. Yt that kind of behaviour is best covered with the qualification 'thick'. Most Brits will understand what I mean. Comparable attitudes I have often witnessed in visiting landsmen/women similarly clad – usually moving in packs. And this, in my opinion, is another defining Dutch character trait: as individuals they may be caring and responsible, domestically; but when abroad in a herd, they'll often behave truly appallingly – even when no alcohol is involved. Reply Emma Oct 2013 Tijd om dit artikel beetje te updaten?! Reply M Jun 2014 Now that's a thing I wish we Dutch DIDN'T love. Always hated the monarchy, even when I was little. But there's a minority of dutch people like me, who would prefer a republic. Although the way I envision that is exactly the same as it is now, minus some billionaire royals. (And NO replacement for them, they're useless and just cost money.) Reply Pete Sep 2014 Yes, having an Obama is really cheap. Working 2 days and 3 days of golf a week. Ever heard of the expense of flying him, and family, around the globe in a 747, with cargo planes full of armored cars, ambulances and about 1,500 security personnel, chefs with his own food and water? Please try to find those expenses. You won't, because they're spread out over 30 departments and 120+ budget items. Good luck! And that's not considering the expenses incurred by his messenger, Kerry. Reply Mitchell Sep 2014 I don't love the queen, the royal family is useless and costs shitloads of money. Also, we now have a King and not a Queen. Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply

Florida homebuilder plans 11 new communities by mid-2016
Tuesday, November 17, 2015
A Sarasota-based private home building company is finding great success, currently on track to beat an all-time company home sales record, with plans to build more communities in the Tampa Bay area.
Neal Communities, which is owned by Pat Neal, a graduate of the Wharton School of Finance and former state senator and house member, has overseen the growing company through its success.
With eight communities opening around the Tampa Bay area in 2015, and three slated to open in 2016, the future of the company continues to look bright, with several factors playing into this success.
"In the market, there are historically low interest rates and 40-percent of home buyers are paying cash," says Leisa Weintraub of
Neal Communities
. "Plus a low unemployment rate equals a strong Southwest Florida market. We have grown our market coverage by building homes from Hillsborough south to Collier County."
The new communities built in 2015 include: Woodland Trace in Sarasota, River Wind in Bradenton, South Fork in Riverview, Magnolia Point in Sarasota, Indigo in Lakewood Ranch, MiraBay in Apollo Beach, Waterset in Riverview, and Oaks of Estero in Estero.
Weintraub goes on to say that the company's "emphasis on style and architectural details, which are classical and timeless designed around the feel of being in Florida," is what she attributes to the business's success.
In 2016, Villa Amalfi and The Provence will open in Sarasota as well at The Ridge at Crossing Creek in Bradenton.
"Our homes are light and bright and reflect the lifestyles of our home buyers."
For more information on the communities mentioned or other communities around the state built by Neal Communities, visit their
Urbanite Theatre prepares to launch first season in new black-box theatre in Sarasota
Tuesday, March 17, 2015
The buzz around the Urbanite Theatre is unmistakable in downtown Sarasota — the drone of carpentry tools placing finishing construction touches competes daily with the energetic hum of creative anticipation as the new black-box theatre space prepares for its opening night in April.
Urbanite co-Founders and Artistic Directors Brendan Ragan and Summer Wallace met while pursuing Masters' degrees at
Sarasota's FSU/Asolo Conservatory
. Urbanite Theatre emerged from their shared vision to bring provocative contemporary productions to Sarasota in an intimate black-box setting.
"This is such an arts community. Sarasota is very strong in its visual and performing arts scene, already. But what's not here, yet, is a small box theater that's staging edgy, contemporary work," says Ragan.
Having both lived the nomadic lifestyle of career actors, working in larger cities like New York City with robust contemporary theatre scenes, Ragan and Wallace see great potential in Sarasota.
The Urbanite Theatre was announced late last spring and quickly received 501c3 nonprofit status. A developer who wishes to remain anonymous is responsible for the funding and construction of the new theater, an addition to an office complex on 2nd Street, located between Fruitville Road and the
Whole Foods Market
. The space, formerly a parking lot, was purchased for $600,000.
"We've been generously given the shell of the space to utilize, but we're responsible for filling it in and making a theater of it," Wallace says.
Filling in the shell of a theater means providing the lighting, seating, sound equipment and other operational components. Wallace says estimated start-up costs for the theater are approximately $30,000, and that each production will cost between $25,000-$30,000. Active fundraising campaigns have raised more than $50,000 to date, and the theater hopes to raise an additional $100,000 to keep ticket prices at $20 or less and offer student discounts.
The Urbanite Theatre
features a cozy black-box setting designed for customizable production space and intimate performances. Theater capacity is limited to 50-70 seats, depending on the configuration for each show.
"When you're in a bigger space, you can kind of remove yourself from the production. You're up there, safe in your seats and separate from the stage. Here, where the actor is not just feet, but mere inches away from you — it evokes a different emotional response," Wallace says.
"Because we have a small venue, I believe we will be able to really push the envelope in terms of the types of plays we produce," Ragan adds. "I look it at the same way that HBO differs from network television: People week out their work because it's something different; more provocative."
Opening night is scheduled for April 10 with the U.S. premiere of British playwright Anna Jordan's award-winning "Chicken Shop." For ticket information, visit

Sarasota Architectural Salvage opens second location in Sarasota Design District
Tuesday, November 18, 2014
A little bit of rust and the occasional speck of dust are just part of the charm at Sarasota Architectural Salvage (SAS), where antique hardware and salvage from historic structures get a second lease on life in the form of quirky, upcycled home decor.
Established in 2003,
the SAS warehouse
has been a favorite haunt for urbanites and design junkies for over a decade. Though no one has complained about the dust and rust to date, SAS is cleaning up its act as it carves out a home in its second location.
"I'm basically splitting my business into two divisions. The original warehouse space is where we have all of our parts and pieces -- the real architecutral elements, lumber, and raw materials. We've moved our home decor, our upcycled furniture, our collectibles, and our 'wow' pieces into the new location at SAS Mercantile," says SAS owner, Jesse White.
In October, SAS began its move beyond the warehouse with the addition of the sleek, new SAS Mercantile gallery in the historic Old Ice House building, also located in the industrial outskirts of downtown Sarasota. Built in 1946, the Old Ice House has a colorful past as a ice and beer distributor, a motorcycle chop shop, and most recently, a contemporary art gallery owned by Sarasota resident and Businessman Ross Mercier.
White says that when he learned the art gallery closed, he seized the opportunity to rent the Ice House space for an undisclosed sum over the summer.
"One of the things that most attracted us to this spot is that there are two air-conditioning spaces in the building--for products we might want to display in a more finished environment than the warehouse. We were able to basically step into a finished, workable space. The roof was done and the walls were all prepared, so we had a clear canvas to work with," White says.
The fully stocked SAS Mercantile space opened its doors on Oct. 10, 2014.
"In the warehouse location, someone might come in looking for a door they could take home and work on themselves to 'D.I.Y.' into a new existence. The new location is geared toward a customer who thinks, 'OK, I want a headboard that's got a cool history with a story and craftsmanship to it. I'm going to go to SAS Mercantile for a piece that's ready to go,'" White says.
"Our aim is to really become a part of the Sarasota Design District," he adds. "Through SAS Mercantile, we're connecting ourselves with Home Resource, Sarasota Collection, Cabinet Scapes and the other businesses in this neighborhood that are helping to define this design-centric district."
SAS Mercantile will celebrate is grand opening in December, to coincide with the yearly holiday charity event hosted by
Sarasota Architectural Salvage
New Owners: Park East Apartments In North Tampa To Get Touch-Up
Tuesday, July 22, 2014
Insula Companies
is making another move into the Florida apartment arena with its $12 million purchase of the Park East Apartments on Bearss Avenue in North Tampa. This is the third apartment complex bought in Florida in 2014 and the 13th in the last five years.
"We really like the area, that particular street -- Bearss -- has got a lot of exposure, a lot of drive-by traffic," says Jeff Talbot, Insula's director of acquisitions. "We love the growth going on in there. It's one of the areas you want to be in Tampa."
Insula specializes in acquiring apartment complexes and revitalizing them for investors. Other properties are in Orlando, Jacksonville and Atlanta.
Park East
, at 2020 Bearss, is an attractive investment due to its location within an established neighborhood that is experiencing new growth as a result of its proximity to university and medical campuses of University of South Florida and Florida Hospital Tampa.
The complex of 192 one- and two-bedroom apartments will have a typical mix of tenants, Talbot says, including young professionals just out of college, young families, empty-nesters and possibly a few students.
Insula plans to spend between $300,000 to $500,000 on modest renovations.
Plans are to test market amenities, such as vinyl wood floors, upgraded counter tops and cabinets, in about 10 to 20 apartments, Talbot says. A new metal roof will be installed on the clubhouse and fitness center as well.
Current residents will be asked for feedback on the renovations and more apartments could be upgraded in future. Park East is about 95 percent occupied. With its acquisition, Insula has more than 3,300 apartments and $150 million in assets in Florida-based complexes.
The Park East property went through tough financial times in recent years and landed in foreclosure in 2010. A California company bought it along with similar properties around the country. After spending money to upgrade the complex, the apartments went on the market.
To qualify for purchase by Insula, apartments must be 15 to 40 years old with a minimum of 150 units that need cosmetic or substantial rehabilitation work. Park East was built in 1986.

The Trio At ENCORE! Tampa Welcomes First Residents
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
Even as construction continues on The Reed and The Tempo waits in the wings for its start date, the
ENCORE! Tampa
community is celebrating its first multifamily apartment complex -- The Trio.
Tampa Housing Authority
will hold a grand opening today (July 15) at 2:30 p.m. at 1101 Ray Charles Blvd., with live jazz and tours of The Trio.
The 141-unit apartment building joins The Ella, 161 senior apartments that opened in 2012 and are fully occupied.
The musically themed ENCORE! is a $425 million, master-planned community that is replacing the former public housing complex of Central Park Village, which was torn down in 2007. The goal is to create a mixed-use, mixed income neighborhood within street grids dotted with apartments, shops, restaurants, a grocery store, hotel and a black history museum.
It is being developed jointly by THA and the Banc of America Community Development Corporation. The next multi-family complex, 203-unit The Tempo, should have a construction start shortly, with leasing set to begin by summer 2015.
Since April, nearly 40 families have moved into The Trio. However, about 70 percent of the apartments are leased. Those additional residents are expected to arrive within the next one to two months.
"That's a little bit better pace for us than expected by this time," says LeRoy Moore, THA's COO. "Obviously the biggest news out of this is affordable housing for families. It's good to be welcoming our first families to the site."
At the grand opening, guests can get up-close looks at the public art commissioned for The Trio, including three ceramic tile murals depicting the rich history of the once-thriving black business and entertainment district in and around Central Avenue.
The murals, located along a perimeter wall that faces Perry Harvey Sr. Park, are by Vermont-based artist
Natalie Blake
Funds for the murals -- titled The Gift of Gathered Remembrances -- are from the city of Tampa and the Friends of Tampa Public Art Foundations, which received its share of the money through THA.
In addition, The Trio's contractor, Sarasota-based
CORE Construction Services of Florida
, commissioned Taryn Sabia, co-founder of the Urban Charrette, for three jazz-themed paintings installed on the Trio's exterior walls.
The Trio is a collection of three buildings designed by
Baker Barrios Architects
. One building is six stories; the others are four stories. There are 1-,2-,3- and 4-bedroom floor plans. Amenities include a swimming pool, movie theater, fitness center, library, game rooms and Internet cafe.

New Shops Fill Lakewood Ranch's Main Street
Tuesday, April 22, 2014
New businesses are filling
Lakewood Ranch at Main Street
to capacity. But the sprawling community of master-planned villages in Manatee and Sarasota counties also is seeing commercial growth elsewhere.
The newly remodeled corporate headquarters for
MGA Insurance Group
is home to a new dental practice and the
Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance
Longtime Lakewood Ranch residents Michelle Scala and Shepherd Frenchman opened
Lakewood Ranch Family & Cosmetic Dentistry
in February in Suite 100 at 8430 Enterprise Circle. Their landlord is MGA, which occupies the second floor and leases offices on the ground floor.
This is a second location for the couple who also have
Bayshore Gardens Aesthetic Dentistry
at 1805 Bayshore Gardens Pkwy., in Bradenton. The couple have doctoral degrees from the University of Florida College of Dentistry. Scala also is a graduate of the University of Miami, and Frenchman of the
University of South Florida
The couple accepts patients of all ages for general dentistry with an emphasis on cosmetics, dental implants and pain-free procedures.
"We've been residents of Lakewood Ranch for 10 years," says Scala. "It's where we began to raise our children. It's a very family oriented community with access to more city-wide elements as well."
And the business community is seeing new life as the economy gets stronger. "It's nice to see more of an influx now," Scala says.
The business alliance recently opened offices in Suite 140 at the MGA building.
Scala and Frenchman will hold a grand opening at their new dental office from 4 to 8 p.m. May 15.
Lakewood Ranch's Main Street business area will reach full capacity in May when
In Focus Family Eye Care
opens in Suite 103 at 8120 Main Street. The optometry office is owned by Brad and Ashley Masuga. In the next two week, White Rose Interiors and Unleashed for Pets, also will open.
In January the University of South Florida-
opened its culinary school at 8130 Main Street, in the former spot operated as the Viking Culinary Center. The school's culinary students will become future chefs taking their classes at this new facility, the
College of Hospitality and Technology Leadership Culinary Innovation Lab
Late last year
Healthy Living Organic and Natural Market
opened at 10671 Boardwalk Loop and Shirts and Stones at 8141 Main St. The market offers vitamins, minerals, herbs, homeopathic and beauty products.
Shirts and Stones
sells an array of custom rhinestone and vinyl clothing. The store also is licensed to sell college merchandise including Florida, Florida State, Miami and South Florida.

Artspace Eyes Sarasota's 'North Trail' For Creative Redevelopment
Tuesday, April 22, 2014
Visitors arriving at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, located along the Tamiami Trail at the northern edge of Sarasota County known as the North Trail, see a less than flattering portrait of the city as they drive south into the city of Sarasota.
"For many years, the North Trail conversation has dragged on, but the bottom line is that the space that lies between the airport, the Ringling [art museum and college] complex, and downtown Sarasota is simply not a very inviting front door to the city," says Jim Shirley, executive director of the
Arts and Cultural Alliance of Sarasota
, sponsor of the North Trail Redevelopment Partnership (NTRP).
The NTRP is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to the sustainable redevelopment of Sarasota's "front door" through urban renewal and the creation of affordable live-work artist spaces.
In the first week of April, the North Trail took its first steps in its journey toward the artistic rebirth envisioned by the NTRP with a visit by consultants Wendy Holmes and Stacey Mickelson of
, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization.
"Artspace is the largest, and really, the only organization that does what they do in this country -- which is to focus on the development of live-work environments for artists that can be used to rekindle areas of communities that need to be re-vitalized,'' Shirley says. "They are involved in 35 projects throughout the country and have a more than 30-year track record."
Led by Artist and Historical Preservationist Veronica Morgan, the NTRP raised the $15,000 required for an Artspace consultation, which included tours of Sarasota's arts community and two days of workshops that connected artists, civic leaders and the financial community with Artspace consultants.
"The goal was to allow the Artspace team to get a more in-depth look at Sarasota, specifically focusing on the North Trail, and to allow us, the community, to learn more about Artspace and see if it would make sense for us,'' Shirley says. "I believe that we had overall a very successful evening, and the indication from Artspace is that they felt the same."
In early June, Artspace will provide the NTRP with an executive summary of their findings and recommendations. Shirley says that if the organizations choose to move forward with a project in Sarasota, the next phase would include a $42,000 survey of the entire county, and that the revitilization project would commence in approximately 3-5 years.
"Virtually everyone in the community knows how important the arts are here, and we've seen what the arts can do in communities that make a commitment to them," Shirley says. "If we could possibly use the arts to help generate the re-vitilization of the North Trail, it would be 'the Sarasota thing to do.' "

USFSM Ushers In Scientific Renaissance With Mote Partnership, New Science Labs, Biology Major
Tuesday, October 22, 2013
The STEM curriculum is a rapidly evolving organism at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee. On Oct. 17, USFSM held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of its new science labs at Mote Marine Laboratories and announced that a new undergraduate major will be offered in biology at the university starting next fall.
Willis A. Smith Construction
oversaw the development of a biology lab, chemistry lab and student teaching area in a pre-existing 4,600-square-foot research facility on the Mote Marine campus. Designed by
Fawley-Bryant Architects
, each lab includes 26 student stations that are served by laboratory gas and fume snorkels. An additional laboratory prep area serving both the biology and chemistry labs houses high-tech research tools including autoclaves, incubators, sub-zero freezers and student safety stations.
The $1.5 million project was funded by private donors, foundations and grants that covered the cost of construction as well as the purchase of lab equipment. Construction took place between the months of March and August, 2013, when the labs welcomed its first batch of undergraduate students.
Dr. Jane Rose, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at USFSM, says that students will not only receive valuable hands-on access to state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, but they will also benefit from one-on-one face-time with world-class researchers and teaching scientists who partner with the university from 22 diverse research programs at Mote Marine.
"While the partnership was developed as a way for the university just to get into the sciences, it has enabled us to do so in very a special way, and to make a contribution to the whole state repertoire of science programs. Most importantly, it's a chance to really serve our students from the Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte County region,'' says Rose.
The new state-of-the-art laboratories at
Mote Marine
and B.S. Biology program for undergraduate students are integral elements in
's transition into a full four-year institution of higher learning, which began in August when the university welcomed its first class of incoming freshmen.
The biology program is in its pilot year at the university. The degree program does not officially launch until Fall 2014, but current students can declare a biology major and begin to pursue pre-requisite coursework in the biology field at any time. A small group of students began attending classes in the labs when the Fall 2013 semester commenced in August.
"Florida offers many undergraduate biology degrees, but none of them will be quite like ours. In most major universities, the research faculty generally delivers the lecture section to auditoriums filled with hundreds of students, but it's graduate students who are teaching the labs. Undergrad students don't get to know the real research faculty well until they've advanced in their degree or until they're graduate students, which comes down to a class size issue. Our classes will be intentionally small so that students have close working relationships with the research faculty as early as their freshman year,'' Rose says.
"Whether it's a Mote Marine researcher or our faculty leading the students, they will not only be delivering the lecture portion of the courses, but they will also be in the labs working with those students, which will make the labs much more significant. Many people would argue that where scientists really learn is in the lab components of their courses,'' Rose adds.
Rose says that prior to the introduction of the B.S. in biology program, there was no biology degree available for public university students in the Sarasota-Manatee-Charlotte region.
"These students will be be at an advantage because they have had so much meaningful lab experience right from the beginning of their college careers. They will be competitive in entry level lab jobs in medical field and in industrial research and development with their undergraduate degrees, but more importantly, most careers in the sciences do involved graduate study. Students working in our research labs will be well-prepared for that,'' Rose says.
"Now, not only can you stay here to get a biology degree, but you can stay here to get a biology degree to be envied.''

Sarasota's Selby Gardens Flourishes With Renovations
Tuesday, October 08, 2013
The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is abloom with renovations and upgrades designed to modernize and heighten the aesthetic quality of the beloved Sarasota landmark.
The Great Room by the Bay, the organization's private event venue and meeting facility, received a "floor-to-ceiling'' cosmetic makeover this summer, thanks to financial assistance from Selby Board Trustee Sandy Rederer, as well as in-kind services provided by
Fawley Bryant Architects
Tandem Construction
Milton Shenk LLC
The 3,600-square-foot facility, which features 60-foot-high west-facing windows with stunning sunset views of Sarasota Bay, has been a popular destination for weddings, parties and other private events since its construction in the late 1980s, but Rederer and the Selby staff felt that the space was in need of a cosmetic upgrade.
"It was just really dated and really needed a face lift,'' says Sarah Colandro, Director of Interiors at Fawley Bryant. "We wanted to capitalize on the architecture already there, but to neutralize the space and take out the outdated aspects like the patterned carpet and the wood beams, doors and trim that showed the age of the building.''
Renovations to the Great Room began in July, 2013, and were completed in August. The design and construction team replaced the outdated patterned carpet with new high-performance flooring in a neutral shade of charcoal that is versatile enough to complement a variety of themed decor, while the walls and ceiling received a makeover including new light fixtures, ceiling tiles and fire sprinklers, as well as a fresh, white finish to brighten the room and accommodate any event style. Upgrades were also made to lighting and fixtures in the restroom area.
The most visually intriguing aspect of the $121,000 renovation project is the addition of floating, illuminated white fabric kites that are assembled in the ceiling alcove of the Great Room. The kites can be accented with colored spotlight lenses for drama and effect during themed weddings and parties.
"These improvements will help Selby Gardens remain competitive and successful in attracting prime wedding and event rental income,'' says
Selby Gardens
CEO Thomas Butcher. "The revenue from private functions provides much needed support for ongoing operations.''
In addition to the renovations in the Great Room, a second construction team took advantage of the Selby Botanical Gardens' slow summer season to work on the highly anticipated Ann Goldstein Children's Rainforest, which is scheduled to open in early November.
The Ann Goldstein Children's Garden at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens will include an educational waterfall and forest pool where all ages can learn about aquatic ecosystems and rainforest plants, a canopy walk and rope bridge, an epiphyte canyon full of rocks and the unique plants that grow on them, a research station that features field botany techniques and gadgets, as well as an amphitheatre, classroom and special exhibition spaces in the Rainforest Village.
The project is funded by donations from community foundations, including the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, the
Gulf Coast Community Foundation
, the
William G. and Marie Selby Foundation
and other private donors, including Sarasota Philanthropist Al Goldstein, who contributed the lead naming gift to initiate the project, following his wife's death in 2011.
Hazeltine Nurseries
, Tandem Construction and Milton Shenk LLC collaborated on the design and construction of the educational rainforest garden. The $5 million project began construction on March 1, 2013 and is scheduled for completion this fall. The Children's Rainforest will open to the public on November 9, 2013.

Sarasota Bradenton International Airport To See New Check-In Area, Terminal
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) is making some much-needed changes to ensure easier travel for Tampa Bay area residents and visitors.
In early February 2013,
unveiled plans for a new check-in area as part of a master plan to renovate many areas of the two-story, 240,000-square-foot airport; SRQ currently houses 14 gates for
flight arrival
, serving
seven major airlines
"The sleek, contemporary styling is more economical and easy to maintain, and the new lighting systems are environmentally friendly," says SRQ President and CEO Rick Piccolo. "SRQ takes pride in providing a safe, customer-friendly airport where travelers can enjoy a relaxed and stress-free experience in a modern and easy to navigate terminal."
During the past two years, under the master plan, SRQ has installed new escalators, renovated restrooms, replaced chillers and HVAC systems, updated information technology infrastructure, updated the baggage screening system, resealed most of the building exterior and replaced the roof and skylights.
Future plans for improvement under the master plan include remaining
terminal renovations
and third office facilities and baggage claim. Travelers can expect renovations to be complete within the next two years.
"SRQ, like any commercial airport, generates a great deal of tourism and business activity with more than 1.3 million passengers utilizing the airport each year, spending millions in the local community," Piccolo says. "Having a vibrant and thriving airport is a key economic attraction."
Currently SRQ is a totally self-sufficient, funding an operating budget of over $16 million in business activities. With no taxing power, the airport -- the primary air carrier and general aviation airport for
Counties -- provides local economic impact and job creation at no cost to Tampa Bay area residents.
Additionally, SRQ is on track to be debt free by August 2014, paying off the remaining $6 million of $150 million in terminal debt.
"This will essentially result in a new terminal with no debt -- that is rare amongst airports anywhere," Piccolo says.
nonstop service
to major cities including Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago and New York and easy connections to other countries, SRQ currently generates more than 11,000 jobs and $962 million of economic impact on the local community.

Leadership Sarasota Makes Plans To Improve Michael Biehl Park, Venice
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Leadership Sarasota, a program of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, is making Venice's Michael Biehl Park a focus, with plans to improve the local park as part of a community service project.
Located next to
Venice Theatre
on West Tampa Avenue, improvements will be made to the park with $5,000 of seed money that was given to
Leadership Sarasota
by the
local chamber of commerce
to get the project off of the ground.
ProGo Solutions
, a company specializing in agronomic solutions, will also play an instrumental role in the project, as well as the
City of Venice
, the
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
and Venice Theatre.
In addition, the program -- which is designed to nurture and engage leadership skills through community immersion, leadership training and educating participants on "how things work'' in the local community -- will use resources through various Tampa Bay area-based businesses for additional funds via in-kind donations of consulting, supplies and equipment.
"Leadership Sarasota's Class of 2013 came to choose the
Michael Biehl Park
project after thorough consideration'' says Bridget McGrath, a member of Leadership Sarasota. "We all felt that this park and location had immense potential to enhance downtown Venice and, with the resources we have through our class and the local community, knew this project would be a success.''
The project plans to brighten the park with lighting and landscaping, add picnic tables and bike racks and enhance the overall design of the park; an existing mural will be embellished with new lighting.
"Currently, the landscape is pretty drab and lacks color; we intend to change that,'' McGrath says. "We feel that this park is a main focal point when you enter
historic downtown Venice
and will be helping the continued revitalization of the downtown area.''
An unveiling and community barbecue will be held at the park on April 21st, celebrating the new and improved Michael Biehl Park. Until then, Leadership Sarasota has plans to put in more than five scheduled work days where the class in its entirety will be putting in work to see the project through.
"Leadership Sarasota's class of 2013 is full of solid talent and great charisma with a strong desire to give back to our beautiful community that we are so fortunate to call home.''

New College Of Florida Begins Library Plaza Renovation, Bell Tower Project
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
New College of Florida students will see changes on campus when they return in the fall.
Implementing various parts of its
2006 Campus Master Plan
New College
recently began a $300,000 renovation on the plaza in front of the
Jane Bancroft Cook Library
. Sharing the facility with the
University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee
, a key component of the project is the construction of a new $400,000 bell tower. The timing of the library plaza renovation is tied to the Fall 2011 opening of the new campus
Academic Center and Plaza
, located adjacent of the library.
"Over the last few years, New College has been implementing various parts of its Master Plan, which includes urban design components to foster a greater sense of community to enhance the educational and environmental experience for students, faculty and staff,'' says Linda Joffe, New College associate director of public affairs.
According to Joffe, the plan marked an important step in the college's transition back to an independent campus on its historical property, which encompass the former estates of Charles Ringling and Ralph Caples; in 2001, New College separated itself from USF, becoming Florida's independent honors college.
Located between Ringling Plaza and College Drive -- just north of the
Ringling Museum
Asolo Repertory Theatre
-- the entire plaza in front of the Jane Bancroft Cook Library will be "scraped,'' making way for designs by
Graham-Booth Landscape Architecture
of St. Petersburg: new pavers, landscaping, lighting, grass, raised planters and tables with attached seating.
In addition, a 64-foot bell tower, designed by
Renker-Eich-Parks Architects
of St. Petersburg, will evoke New College's historic Four Winds seal and the "building on learning'' concept. The obelisk-style tower will feature four twisting, precast concrete pilasters held together by two rings. Mounted between the rings will be four bells built by French company
, the "
of bell makers.'' Currently, more than 120,000 Paccard bells are located in cities and villages throughout the world.
"The modernist bell tower is a welcomed addition to campus architecture. On many college campuses, a bell tower is a landmark and New College wanted to give its students a similar experience,'' Joffe says. "The project is expected to further transform the heart of the campus, creating a seamless, communal outdoor space -- the perfect transition between the historic Ringling-era campus and residential campus.''
According to Joffe, the four bells can be programmed to produce a wide range of melodies. The college hopes that students in the music program will embrace an opportunity to create original music to be played by the new bells.
Funds for the $700,000 project are provided by a $400,000 donation by philanthropists and community leader
Beverly Koski

At Scallop imaging they have taken a truly new and innovative approach to the way the world should view cameras. For over 200 years the design of the camera has largely remained unchanged with a single lens and a single image capture point. This has meant that up until now if you wanted a wide angle view you must use a fish eye lens, which despite the best efforts by manufactures around the world usually means distorted edges. This is where Scallop imaging are doing things differently by distributing the imaging task among multiple smaller sensors and computationally combining their outputs in the camera itself. This approach means that if you want higher resolution, use more cameras focused on the same area, want truly panoramic shots, position multiple cameras whose images overlap in the processing unit.
One thing they have kept with tradition in is providing excellent customer support with a website that boasts a fully featured FAQ section along with a documents library for all their products. They also have a friendly customer support team ready to take your call and offer you pre and post-sale service that is second to none.

New Student Advising (NSA) is designed to help you get a head start on a successful academic experience at SPU. Your first step is to sign up for one of the NSA sessions, which are held on campus. (For those who are unable to travel to SPU's campus, we offer individual appointments over the phone. We also travel to cities outside Washington for Off-Campus NSA Appointments.) After signing up for an NSA session or appointment, you'll receive a confirmation email that confirms your signup and outlines the items you need to complete prior to your NSA experience.
New Student Advising is the mandatory program by which new students are advised and registered for their first quarter's classes at SPU.
All new freshmen and transfer students are required to complete a New Student Advising experience, whether via a session or appointment on-campus, or via a conversation over the phone.
Those who come to campus are able to complete tasks ahead of time that will take some pressure off during New Student Orientation. But those who are not able to travel to campus for NSA will be able to complete those tasks closer to the start of autumn quarter.
Are you admitted to Seattle Pacific for Winter, Spring or Summer Quarter? Be sure to click on the "NSA for Non-Autumn Admits" link on the left sidebar.
Dates for On-Campus New Student Advising sessions for students admitted for Autumn 2016 have been determined. They are:
Individual appointments will be offered on a limited basis, and for those unable to travel to campus for NSA sessions, we are able to offer appointments over the phone. More details will be included in the NSA sign-up process in Banner.

We're moving towards more tolling
Posted By John Latta On August 4, 2010 @ 2:24 pm In eRoadPro Newsletter,The Roadologist | No Comments
Itr's possible that the (voting) public is begining to see what happens when there is too little money for highways and bridges. But the process moves like molasses in winter. Last week the Wall Street Journal picked up the movement in some states to pro-actively turn badly deteriorating asphalt and concrete roads back to gravel roads. Now USA Today is pointing out that states are turning to new tolls and toll plazas to find funds.
Both processes derive their momentum from severely sinking state revenues coupled with the lack of a six-year highway bill from Washington which is keeping available funds at an level inadequate to even maintain existing roads.
Both processes help address the funds shortage. But while we see the need for them don't forget a very old rule of political thumb: reversing practices like these when times are better is no slam dunk. We are liable to see gravelled rural roads and toll booths still being created long after the economy has recovered. Just as we will surely hear some Washington politicians telling us that since there are now less paved roads to maintain, and since there are more income-providing toll booths, states and other agencies responsible for roads ands bridges don't really need new money as much as they used to.
Anyway, check out USA Today's story on the states fervor to toll [1].

The Fifty Shades of Grey Casting Poll: Who Would You Cast as Anastasia Steele?
Lily Collins © Helga Esteb; Kristen Stewart © Featureflash; Amanda Seyfried © Helga Esteb; Shailene Woodley © S Bukley; All via Shutterstock
It's official: Millions of people are obsessed with the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy by E. L. James, as sales of the trilogy hit the twenty-million-copy mark. It's clear that fans of the books want as much of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele as possible. Much to the dismay of fans, the story does indeed have a finite ending – but luckily there's still the movie adaptation working its way to development.
Tongues are starting to wag as movie folk, readers, and fans begin to toss casting rumors around. Earlier this summer, we asked you who you thought would be the perfect Christian Grey – and your passionate opinions poured in in droves. Those of you who weren't sold on the idea of Simon Baker, Ian Somerhalder, Michael Fassbender, or Ryan Gosling didn't hold back, suggesting other hotties like Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper… and so many others. Readers clearly had their own vision of the sexy, smoldering Christian Grey. Now, we have to ask: Who would you cast as the sexy but naive Anastasia Steele? We had a hard time narrowing down your options to just four, but we came up with Lily Collins, Amanda Seyfried, Kristen Stewart, and Shailene Woodley. Of course, we also left the options open ended and invite you to weigh in with your own opinions.

I cant wait until it gets bigger. I think they need plenty of room as they grow and if they run out of room they probaly don't do well. On same subject- any transplant info on this plant anyone can pass my way would be appreciated. Also, when do they start to bloom?? Thanks and good luck to you and your bird of paradise !

River Road to partially reopen next month
BATON ROUGE - The Corps of Engineers said repairs to a portion of River Road affected by record-level flooding on the Mississippi River are taking longer than expected, but they could re-open it on a limited basis next month.
The roadway is an important corridor for traffic leaving LSU football games, and leads to the new L'Auberge Casino on the levee south of Baton Rouge.
River Road has been shut down near Duncan Point since last November for an $8.85 million project. The Corps moved the road bed and built a seepage berm to prevent sand boils which popped up during the historic flooding. It was expected to re-open last month.
Today Corps spokesperson Ricky Boyett said the road should be open on weekends beginning Sept. 1, and they expect to fully open when contractors finish up eight weeks later.
He said they were in close contact with the state Department of Transportation and Development as well as the Pontchartrain Levee District, and would provide updates and notifications should anything change.
