As 2013 winds to a close, Nashville finds itself in the throes of a construction boom. And of all the new buildings that were once just a dream in somebody's head, one looms especially large. It holds the potential to transform not only the tract of land it occupies, but the very fabric of the city — or at least how the threads of that fabric are interwoven. It could spur unprecedented economic development. It has already started to draw new visitors to the city and showcase a side of Nashville that has rarely permeated the prevailing Music City lore.
We're speaking, of course, about Casa Azafrán, the community center on Nolensville Road that has become the unofficial gateway to Nashville's most diverse corridor — and a template for what is possible when a vision meets a tireless advocate.
"In one short year, Casa Azafrán has emerged as an important cultural and economic hub in Nashville," Mayor Karl Dean tells the Scene. "I see Casa Azafrán as a good model for how a community-led center can help revitalize a surrounding neighborhood, increase collaboration among nonprofits around a common goal, and provide much-needed services for those in our city."
And so, for her role in willing Casa Azafrán into existence, and for her leadership at its helm, we choose Renata Soto as the Scene's 2013 Nashvillian of the Year, an honor conferred annually since 1989. Situated between the fairgrounds and the diverse ethnic enclaves that begin to take shape below I-440, Casa Azafrán houses 10 nonprofits within its 28,000 brightly painted and exquisitely decorated square feet — from a clinic run by United Neighborhood Health Services to a performance studio run by the Global Education Center.
Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition is here. Justice for Our Neighbors Tennessee is here. YWCA of Nashville and Middle Tennessee is here. Kurdish-American Muslim advocate Remziya Suleyman's American Center for Outreach is here. And then there's Mesa Komal, the community kitchen that serves as a commissary for food trucks — including Riffs Fine Street Food, Hummus Chick, Music City Pies, Churro Queens and Que Delicias — as well as a laboratory, catering hub and classroom. The centrally located Flat Rock Hall, so named to honor the heritage of the area — "as opposed to 'Something-in-Spanish Hall,' " Soto says with a laugh — has hosted everything from corporate board meetings to a Tennessee Women's Theater Project production of Christine Mather and Sara Sharpe's play Voices of Nashville: Immigration and Community.
"The day I was pinching myself, it was maybe a month or two months after we had been here," Soto remembers. Nashville Public Television was hosting a film screening, the Global Education Center was "having a loud, awesome Zumba class for moms and kids," the kitchen was "very busy with entrepreneurs" preparing for weekend jobs, and Conexión Américas' small business class was convening in one of the classrooms.
"I was thinking the people who are here to watch the NPT film, they would not have come here for anything else," she says. "We created that space so that, oh, by the way, you see there are these other things going on here. And you ask, and in that small question, maybe just something opens up — like, 'Wow, I didn't realize the community of Nashville was so vibrant, and this existed in Nashville.' "
And without Soto, it might not.
Soto was born in Costa Rica and first came to the U.S. in 1993 on a student visa to study at Kenyon College in Ohio. She's a journalist by training, but got involved in nonprofit work after moving to Atlanta after college. She began working for United Way of Metropolitan Nashville soon after she and husband Pete Wooten, now an executive vice president at Avenue Bank, relocated here in 1996.
During her early days in Nashville, Soto also co-hosted a radio show on the local Spanish-language station Melodias called Café a la Siete, or "Coffee at 7." ("The most popular guest was always the immigration attorney," she recalls with a laugh.) Through her role as a grant maker at United Way, Soto became familiar with Nashville's nonprofit ecosystem, and what nonprofits were doing to "recognize the new community," as she puts it.
Recognizing an opportunity between those efforts, Soto left United Way in 2002 to start Conexión Américas along with co-founders Jose Gonzalez, who still serves as finance director, and Maria Clara Mejia, who has since retired. Last year, Conexión celebrated its 10th anniversary, with the construction of Casa Azafrán — and the hoisting of its 30-foot-wide, 12-foot-tall crowdfunded and volunteer-assembled tile mosaic "Migration," designed by artist Jairo Prado — serving as a crowning achievement on a decade's worth of advocacy and empowerment.
If you ask Renata Soto to tell you the story of Renata Soto, she will almost invariably turn to telling the story of Casa Azafrán. But others are quick to praise her.
"For many years Renata has helped lead efforts to keep Nashville a diverse and welcoming place — from helping defeat the English Only referendum to giving life to Casa Azafrán," Mayor Dean tells the Scene. "I can't thank Renata enough for having the vision to put a variety of immigrant services under one roof and the drive to create Casa Azafrán. It has rightfully become the epicenter of New American initiatives and events in our city."
"Renata is a person who has a great deal of determination and resiliency in pursuing her vision and what she wants to see happen," says Mary Bufwack, CEO of United Neighborhood Health Services, which operates a clinic at Casa Azafrán. "She's a person who can say thank you and recognize the effort of others."
Carlos Davis, a chef and co-founder of Riffs Fine Street Food, uses the Mesa Komal community kitchen for his business and helps coordinate catering efforts for events within the center. "I am very impressed with the way she gets involved," he says of Soto. "There's a lot of things that go on here, and she's in touch and in tune with all of them."
In 2008, Nashville collectively struck down the proposed "English Only" amendment to the city charter, thanks in no small measure to mobilized opposition by the city's Hispanic community. That year, the Scene recognized attorney Gregg Ramos as Nashvillian of the Year, in part for his work to defeat that insidious legislation.
Soto also played an important role as executive director of Conexión Américas. And as it happened, 2008 was also the year that the first pieces started falling into place for Casa Azafrán. It began with small commitments from other local nonprofits, then some backing from the Bank of America Foundation. Then came the first big infusion of cash for what would become a $5 million project.
"Remember, 2008 is when the economy is tanking," Soto says, "and we were actually thinking, 'Ooh, maybe this is too ambitious; certainly this is not the time to embark fully on a capital campaign.' But when we got the check from the Joe C. Davis Foundation — it was in September of 2008 — it was such a vote of confidence in the vision. ... And what the gift meant to us was permission to keep dreaming."
Sometimes the dream felt impossible. Advisers told Soto she needed a site and drawings to help investors imagine the finished product. "We were like, 'We don't even know what we can afford!' " she remembers with a laugh. "We know that it's important, and it's our aspiration that we're planting a seed for economic development, and really investing in this asset of being an international district for Nashville. Other than that — and the idea that we want a community center that would have space not only for Conexión Américas but for partners that would bring expertise and resources and experience that we don't have but are needed — that's all we had."
The first partner Soto approached was United Neighborhood Health Services. "When Renata brought up the idea, I was immediately there," CEO Bufwack says. "I believed in the concept." UNHS was already offering bilingual services at other clinics, but Bufwack says, "It's just always struck me as ideal to be with those ethnic community groups doing the outreach to their own communities, and let me do what we do best, which is the actual health care."
With the clinic on board, Soto says, "funders got excited." Bufwack helped scout locations. (Clinics have regulatory requirements that other kinds of agencies don't.) Before long, the project had raised about $1 million. Then came what Soto calls "the most important milestone": $1.3 million from the federal Economic Development Administration that would pay for the build-out.
The scale was daunting at times — and Bufwack remembers helping plan a similar project years earlier that ultimately failed — but after the EDA infusion, the project took on an air of inevitability as the remaining funds flowed in. The site they had chosen, a $3.2 million strip on Nolensville, met all of Conexión's most important criteria, Soto says: "It's on a bus line; it's only three-and-a-half miles from downtown; it's exactly at the core connecting this [gestures toward downtown] with this [gestures southward]; it's the gateway that we've been talking about."
Conexión Américas is known for its work in Nashville's Latino communities, but since Casa Azafrán opened in December, it has come to contain multitudes, fostering an attitude that not only values diversity but sees it as a boon to all involved.
"A couple weeks ago we had seven businesses working in here on a Friday," Davis says. "It was really cool to see. No competition for the stove or the grill. We see where one another's at, and if one person is super busy and needs to get something done, we'll jump over and give them a hand, or they'll give us a hand."
Davis recalls seeing Elvira Vasquez doing prep work to make patacones, a dish that uses green plantains — which take a long time to peel. Davis suggested placing them briefly in boiling water to rupture the skin. Just like that, Vasquez's prep time was cut in half. Chefs learn from each other. Community members learn from chefs. And people and agencies that might not otherwise interact learn from each other.
"I don't think there is any other place," Davis says, that encourages collaboration in the kitchen the way Casa Azafrán does. "There are other places that allow you to rent kitchen space, but they are very closed off." He likens those spaces to office cubicles, where "it's not geared toward building up the community within the kitchen."
Bufwack backs up that assertion. "Oftentimes you can co-locate people, but they just build silos," she says. "But [Renata] has been much more creative about not just co-locating, but how can we have the kind of cross-fertilization and intercooperation. ... Being with others enriches our services and how we provide them." The situation at Casa Azafrán has led Bufwack to ask how her clinic might work with the kitchen to do diabetes training about nutrition, or how it might use dance to promote exercise.
"There are more obvious connections with the mental health people and financial counselors," she says, but the overlaps provide all manner of opportunities. And Soto is the straw that stirs the drink, to coin a phrase. "She is really a driving force behind that," Bufwack says, "and keeps that in the front of her mind, when sometimes we can't."
Moreover, she says, "Being part of an effort like that multiplies the effectiveness of your services."
In typical fashion, Soto sees Casa Azafrán's successes in the first year as a collective win.
"It's an important milestone for me personally not because it speaks about what a great thing I did," she demurs. "I was a facilitator, maybe in the conversations that needed to happen for this to be here today."
Still, she admits her excitement at helping others participate in the new "sharing economy" — think Airbnb, Lyft and other services that distribute use across many users — in which access is more important than ownership.
"That's exactly what the kitchen is about," she says, her eyes lighting up. "For these food entrepreneurs, what propels them to the next level of what their business can become is not them owning that fancy and expensive commercial stove and oven. It is the access that makes it possible."
Mesa Komal has done so well, in fact, that it has already outgrown its space. And that bodes well for the overall project, which, while it has had its growing pains — scheduling and maintenance have taken more time and resources than originally planned — has made its mark as the anchor and beacon of Nashville's de facto international district.
Soto sees that swath of South Nashville not only as a key to Nashville's future, but also as a brand worth strengthening. To that end, Conexión Américas is applying for a grant that would further their arts-related programming, including more opportunities for artists.
"We would love for at least the bus stop that is in front of us, but maybe two more on Nolensville Road, to be amazing pieces of public art that continue to build on that character of an international district," Soto says. Part of the idea, she adds, is to "make sure that our space, even beyond the walls of Casa Azafrán, [is] uplifting aesthetically and otherwise in this important corridor."
While they get their application together, Soto and her team are simultaneously investigating the best way to grow — performance space? Banquet hall? Larger kitchen? — as one of the commercial tenants in their building prepares to leave. But Soto has plenty to look back on after a busy first year at Casa Azafrán.
"It just makes me very proud to be a Nashvillian," she says.
The feeling is mutual.

D'Addario & Company, Inc. recently revealed a new organizational structure designed to reinforce the leadership of the company in the face of today's dynamic and global economy.
The new corporate structure consists of two distinct divisions within the company that will be led by two co-presidents, Rick Drumm and John D'Addario III. This divide-and-conquer strategy will make it possible for both individuals to leverage their experience and strengths, having been with the company for 8 and 17 years respectively.
It will also position the company to take advantage of existing and future growth opportunities for its wide range of products, while simultaneously furthering the succession plan for the next generation of the D'Addario family.
Drumm will now be responsible for all of D'Addario's percussion brands including Evans, Promark and PureSound, as well as its woodwind accessories line under the Rico brand name. Additionally, Drumm will manage all of D'Addario's international affiliates, including the activities of their distribution companies based in Canada, UK, Australia and China. Formerly the company's executive vice president, John D'Addario III will now be responsible for the global supply chain of the company's musical instrument string manufacturing business, as well as all U.S.-based distribution.

The GoodEarth Market Deli has great food. I created my own half sandwhich and got a half cup of the chicken noodle soup. All of the ingredients on the sandwhich were very fresh tasting and appeared vibrant in color. The sandwhich was so big I could not fit my whole mouth around it! The soup was hot and tasty as well. Nothing about the food was greasy or buttery- just fresh. However, I wouldn't recommend eating there w/o a coupon because it is expensive. The half sandwhich/half cup of soup is $7. So, in order to eat healthy you have to pay more. Staff was very friendly and the eating area was clean. Nice atmosphere.

Saudi Arabia gives $100mln to UN for combating terrorism
August 14, 2014 - 08:37 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Saudi Arabia handed over a check for $100 million to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday, Aug 13, to help finance the UN's center to combat global terrorism, the Associated Press reports.
The UN chief welcomed the gift at a ceremony in his office and said the recent upsurge in terrorism in a number of countries and regions — most dramatically, the Islamic State extremist group's takeover of a large swath of Syria and Iraq — "underscores the challenge before us."
Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the United States Adel al-Jubeir, who presented the check with the Saudi UN ambassador, stressed that "terrorism is a scourge and an evil that affects all of us." He said it can only be dealt with if all countries and peoples unite to deal with the threat.
"We believe that the United Nations can play a very strong and very effective role in mobilizing the efforts of the world to counter this evil," al-Jubeir said.
"Terrorism knows no religion. It knows no ethnicity. It has no nationality. It has no humanity. It has no compassion. It has no justice," he said. "It is in violation of every religion in the world, and it is a scourge that must be eliminated through very strong and very robust international measures."
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia called for the establishment of an international center to combat terrorism almost 10 years ago, and the proposal was adopted by 55 countries at a counterterrorism conference in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, in 2005. The king pledged $10 million to establish the United Nations Counterterrorism Center, and it was launched in 2011 at UN headquarters in New York.
Al-Jubeir said the $100 million donation will better enable the center to provide the tools, technologies and methods to countries to confront and eliminate the threat of terrorism.
Ban said the UN General Assembly has encouraged its 193 member states to support the center's work, "and the United States, United Kingdom and Germany have responded to that call."
The UN chief also praised King Abdullah's "exceptionally generous" $500 million donation to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to Iraqis caught up in the Islamic State group's offensive, saying it showed Saudi Arabia's "sense of global solidarity."
The donations come months after Saudi Arabia stunned the diplomatic world with the unprecedented announcement that it was rejecting a seat on the UN Security Council, less than 24 hours after it was elected last Oct 17. The Foreign Ministry accused the UN's most powerful body of failing to end the Syrian and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts and to convene a conference on creating a Mideast zone free of weapons of mass destruction.

Drought Pushes Dairy, Beef Prices Up
Dairy and beef prices could spike from the hotter-than-normal summer heat and worsening drought conditions.
Beef prices hit an all-time high earlier this month because of the 2012 US drought, Bloomberg reports.
AccuWeather.com says consumers could soon begin to see a rise in dairy costs after record-breaking high temperatures scorched the West in late June and early July, and a prolonged heat wave continues across the Midwest.
Marie teVelde, a California Dairies spokesperson, says cows eat less when it's hotter outside and produce less milk as a result.
According to AccuWeather.com expert senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski and head of AccuWeather.com's long-range forecasting team Paul Pastelok, heat will be coming in and out of the Plains through mid August and for the next two weeks, the Midwest will have temperatures in the 80s and 90s.
The Southwest will catch a break as building monsoon conditions trim the heat down for the Four Corners area, but temperatures will increase over the Great Basin and West. The mercury will be especially high come September when this region will reach its hottest point of the year.
Additionally, drought conditions across the West have affected rangelands, leaving little water and forage for livestock, prompting the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to undertake targeted actions, such as reducing grazing.
In southwestern Montana, for example, the BLM has restricted permitted ranchers to graze no more than 70 percent of their allotted forage on BLM-managed lands, BLM principal deputy director Neil Kornze says.
Hot, dry conditions continue to persist west of the Mississippi River, with at least 15 states experiencing drought. For example, 93 percent of rangeland and pastures are rated poor or very poor in New Mexico; 59 percent in Colorado; 35 percent in Wyoming; and 17 percent in Utah, according to BLM. Similar conditions exist in Nevada, where more than 60 percent of the state has been in severe or extreme drought conditions since the beginning of 2013.
As of late last week, the US Drought Monitor said "moderate to exceptional" areas of reached 44.85 percent, up from 44.06 percent a week ago, expanding drought conditions for the fourth week in a row, Reuters reports.

Message, symbol of unity crossing county lines
Then Jesus said to his disciples. "If any man come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." Luke 9:23.
For 82 days, teenagers in 82 counties across Mississippi will have an opportunity to do what Jesus asked, taking up the cross and carrying it on a journey to the state capitol. The effort deemed "Mississippi Glowing for Christ" will make its way into Tunica County on Oct. 20 and is a partnership between Mission Mississippi and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Amazing bird's-eye view of fireworks goes viral
Independence Day fireworks as you have never seen them before. A YouTube video has gone viral thanks to a drone, although some are calling it 'irresponsible'.
Equipped with a GoPro Hero 3 Silver camera mounted on a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter drone, Jos Stiglingh filmed an eye-level view of a fireworks show in West Palm Beach, Florida, and paired the footage with tenor Andrea Bocelli's Con Te Partiro.
The video (above), which he uploaded in May, is now going viral after July 4 festivities in the US. And it won't be the only drone footage of fireworks that surfaces this week, as owners of consumer drones will likely share their Fourth of July videos, such as this one from Nashville:
Like Stiglingh's video, this newer video goes deep into the explosions at the 4:40 mark.
GoPro, a company that recently went public and priced its IPO, even reshared a portion of Stiglingh's West Palm Beach footage on Friday in celebration of the holiday.

Written on: 24/08/2014
Although my claim was rather slow to start with once it started to be acted on it was very intense and the staff were extremely helpful. I had been on holiday in the Dominican Republic in 2011.The restaurant area was on the same floor as our room.The staff sprayed the restaurant with pesticides but forgot to close the doors. When we went downstairs we encountered the pesticide which left us with runny eyes coughs sickness headaches and loss of voice.The hotel did not want to know. We were sent to many experts by our solicitors.The feeling that they really cared was reassuring. They then managed to get compensation for me and my husband which for me was a five figured sum. I would recommend them very highley

Sure, it's WAY too early to jump to any long-term conclusions about any specific players taken in the 2011 NFL Draft.
After all, these guys are rookies, and they have a lot of football in front of them.
It would be much more logical to put grade on recent first-round draft choices a few years down the road, but we're sports fans, and what fun would that be?
So, let's do it now!

Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson Snapped Together on Cozy Lunch Date
Hollywood stars Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson have fueled reports of a budding romance after enjoying a cozy lunch date together in Los Angeles on Monday, February 28 . The actor, 50, finalized his divorce from his wife Robin Wright Penn last year, while "Lost In Translation" beauty Johansson split from husband Ryan Reynolds in December 2010.
Speculation that Penn and Johansson were dating emerged in January, prompting firm denials from the 26-year-old actress' representatives. But new photos of the rumored couple, obtained by TMZ.com, seem to suggest they're more than just friends - the blonde beauty is caught resting her foot in Penn's lap while dining at Cuban restaurant Versailles in the shots.
According to TMZ, the two were smiling and laughing throughout the meal, which Johansson reportedly paid for.

Looks like even Bloomingdales got into the swing of things in the 70's and wasn't afraid to take some risks. Would you incorporate any of these ideas into your living space now? Seen anything like it in current magazines?

Excellent service and convenience. Great way to obtain food items for your stay in Orlando without having to pack it.
We used Garden Grocer on our recent trip to Walt Disney World. This was one of the BEST things we did for our trip! It was so nice to get off the plane to a room full of drinks and snacks for the week so we could go right to enjoying the parks and our vacation. This is a GREAT service. Thank you for making it so easy!

Should Gov. Sebelius sign the bill allowing casino gambling in Kansas?
cutny 9 years, 3 months ago
Gambling is for losers...ha ha...get it? Save your money and stop looking for an easy way out of your financial problems.
Uhlrick_Hetfield_III 9 years, 3 months ago
Yet another regressive tax on the poor.
thanksforcoming 9 years, 3 months ago
Those 68% probably say there isn't anything to do in Kansas. Here is and idea, go play catch with your kids. Its spring time, teach your kids the American Pastime, instead of gambling away the money that should pay for their futures. If you don't have kids, go be a Big Brother or Sister and teach them the game. Hours and Hours of fun right there.
Karolyn Kinsey 9 years, 3 months ago
Absolutely NOT! Is anyone in Kansas in their right minds these days? First the concealed weapons, then the polluting coal-fired plants instead of wind farms, now this gambling bill! I guess you all must be millionaires who won't hesitate to shoot anyone who looks at you cross-eyed, have second homes somewhere far away from the pollution, and have money to burn for taking care of those who are addicted to gambling, or are so poor they think that gambling will make them rich.
You are all a bunch of fools! But then anyone knows that since you put the criminal administration into power and have kept them there this past 6 years. Apparently democrats in Kansas are no different than the ethically challenged republicans.

Classic Lamborghini powered boat restored
Relevant offers
With twin 4.0-litre V12 Lamborghini engines, each putting out 257 kilowatts (350bhp) and taken from the original 350 GT, the Riva Aquarama Lamborghini has been fully restored to its original condition.
Built 45 years ago for and commissioned by Ferruccio Lamborghini, founder of the Italian sports car brand that bears his name, the fastest Aquarama in the world is once again ready to cleave the waters.
For years this unique runabout was hidden away in the corner of a boatyard, hidden from the world under old tarpaulins and dust sheets.
Enthusiasts had been aware of its existence but no one appeared to know where the legendary sports boat was, after its owner died in 1993.
Then, a Dutch Riva collector tracked it down and had it restored to original condition by Riva World, which specialises in the restoration of Riva boats.
Now, three years later, the Aquarama Lamborghini is back to life in all its splendour.
Sandro Zani, owner of Riva World, regularly travelled to Italy over those three years, even visiting the Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum, in order to document and verify all the details of the original, before beginning the restoration.
The Aquarama was worked on from top to bottom. The wooden hull was repaired, sanded and no fewer than 25 coats of marine paint and varnish were applied. The wooden interior was repaired and the seats were reupholstered in the famous Riva design; all buttons and switches were disassembled, repaired and reinstalled; and every chrome part now shines again like new.
Along the way, Ferruccio Lamborghini's Riva received a new heart - a pair of V12 engines from the very first Lamborghini ever created, The 350GT, which conspired in the late 60s to make the boat the fastest Aquarama in the world.
"One of the two original engines from the Riva can still be seen in the Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum in Italy, but unfortunately wasn't available for sale for this project," explains Sandro Zani.
"...Lino Morosini, who 45 years ago was head of the Riva engine division and one of the fathers of the Aquarama Lamborghini, provided us with additional information with which we were able to adapt the twin V12 powerhouses, water-cooled via specially designed closed circuit, so they were completely in line with the original specimens."
Another valuable source was Lamborghini's former legendary test driver and developer, New Zealander Bob Wallace, who died last month.
He provided input for getting the two Lamborghini engines ready for maritime use.

UK Beer Market: Export or Die
With its domestic market now saturated with foreign lager, Britain's role as an international player in the brewing world looks bleak. But as just-drinks' columnist Andrew Jefford argues, nothing could be further from the truth, as breadth of choice fights back against the bland. What does it take to conquer the world? Not very much, it would seem, at least in brewing terms. A blind tasting of Budweiser, Carlsberg, Heineken, Stella Artois, Sol, Foster's and Kronenbourg is about as exciting as a walk round an industrial estate on a wet Saturday night. Among universally available beers, only Guinness offers any sort of a challenge to the taste buds.
