It has been often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and this is absolutely true when it comes to bands or singers covering a song that has been previously recorded.
The problem that sometimes accompanies these remakes is that artists put their own creative twist to it, but the best remakes are the ones that respectfully pay tribute to the original artist while the current artist puts their own stamp on things.
There have been songs that were remade several times over the years which is good because it keeps that particular song current. It also keeps the royalties coming in to the original artist as well as introducing new listeners to their music.
The Beatles have probably had some of the songs remade the most: ""Yesterday (3,000 times), "Eleanor Rigby" (131 times), "And I Love Her" (54 times), and "Blackbird" (36). John Lennon's "Imagine" has been remade 28 times.
Not all songs get remade and even those who do may prove not to be too popular with listeners, but whether a song actually gets remade or how well it's done depends on the artist. Listeners may also have an opinion.
In 1974 country and western singer Dolly Parton wrote and recorded the song "I Will Always Love You" which was a big hit. In 1992, it was remade by Whitney Houston. Houston's version became so popular that many fans didn't know that it had been a hit years ago.
There are some people who will swear that Houston's version is better than Parton's and vice versa. There were other artists who covered the song such as Linda Ronstadt, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood and Troop. There are some who believe that Hudson's and Underwood's versions were better than Whitney Houston's. It all comes down to taste and one's fan base.
It all comes down to the job of the artist and the ears of the listener.
This list has 10 of the best remakes. It was compiled with great thought to which artist performed the song the best while paying tribute to the original artist and their work.
1. Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice It's All Right"
1. Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice it's All Right"
"Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" was written by Bob Dylan in 1962, and appeared on his 1963 album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.
It's a love song, a sad one at that. It's about the end of a relationship where the man really loves the woman, but realizes that she doesn't love him. The lyrics are pretty brutal because you can feel the raw emotion that comes from heart-breaking reality:
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You coulda done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
It has long been rumored that the song was about the deterioration of his relationship with Dylan's then-girlfriend Susan Rotolo who had decided to abort their unborn child. Rotolo herself had discussed how difficult it was to have a relationship with Dylan who had reached the pinnacles of fame.
The song is probably one of the best ever written and Bob Dylan is probably one of the best singer/songwriters of all time so it shouldn't come as any surprise that the song has been covered by 71 different musical acts.
Out of all those acts choosing a remake of the song might be difficult, but in this case it was Waylon Jennings version that stood out among all the others. He performed the song as it was written: simply and with feelings of great sadness.
Waylon Jennings, a country and western singer, was probably the best choice to cover this song because of his experience with heartbreak and loss over the years.
2. The O'Jay's "Now That We Found Love"
2. The O'Jay's "Now That We Found Love"
"Now That We Found Love" was written in 1973 by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff for the R & B group The O'Jays.
This is a song about when love is new; when the realization hits and the euphoria that surrounds a couple is thick. Ah, love, right?
This song has been remade (or covered) three times: Martha Reeves, Third World and Heavy D.
The best cover is the one done by Third World in 1978.
Third World is a reggae band from Jamaica that specializes in a soul, funk and disco sound that in the 1970s set them apart from other bands in Jamaica. Their biggest hit was "Now That We Found Love" that found its way onto the music charts both in America as well as Jamaica in 1978.
The group brought a whole new sound and feeling to the song while staying true to the message that Huff and Gamble intended.
In 1991 Jamaican-born rapper Heavy D covered the song again in which he incorporated the music with rapping. His version of the song is the second best cover because of its originality. Sadly the rapper died in November of 2011 of a pulmonary embolism.
3. Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi".
3. Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi".
"Big Yellow Taxi" was a song written in 1970 by singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell who through her music helped define a generation as she sung about issues that were popular at the time such as equality, peace, the environment and love.
It is rumored that Mitchell wrote the song while staying in Hawaii to perform a couple of concerts. She became disillusioned at how areas of Hawaii were becoming more commercial; that some of the landscape was being ripped up and replaced by parking lots as well as commercial buildings.
Although the song was a big hit in the United Kingdom as well as Australia, it didn't do well in the United States until Mitchell re-released a live version of it in 1975.
There have been 13 different covers of this song from artists such as Amy Grant, Bob Dylan and The Neighborhood, but the best cover came in 2002 from the Counting Crows.
Their version did much better than either of Mitchell's making it to number 13 on the music charts. It was also featured in the movie Two Weeks Notice.
Unlike the other musical artists who changed several of the lyrics to suit their audience, Counting Crows only changed one. Instead of a big yellow taxi taking away my old man (Mitchell), it took away their girl (Crows).
"Big Yellow Taxi" by the Counting Crows kept the original concept the same and covered it at a time when the youth needed to hear it; they recorded the song at a time when issues regarding the environment and justice were almost lost.
4. Beatles' "Come Together"
4. Beatles' "Come Together"
"Come Together" was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in 1969. The song was featured on their 21 album Abbey Road.
Although the song was written after John Lennon became inspired by psychologist Timothy Leary's run for governor of California, it also had four verses and each verse was about one of the Beatles. The song strongly advocated for people to come together to believe/fight for a common cause. Critics believe that the lyrics,
"Come together, right now, over me" indicated that the cause was actually whatever John Lennon believed at the time. In other words it was believed that it meant to fight/believe in Lennon's cause.
The song, as is the case with many of the songs written and recorded by The Beatles, was covered by over 40 artists since it was initially recorded.
The best cover came in 2012 by the hard rock group Godsmack. The song was one of the four cover songs from the album Live and Inspired.
The Beatles recorded this song during a time when they were experimenting with a harder sound that would appeal more to their fans who were rooted in the popular drug culture of the time. Godsmack kept the song to its heavy rock theme as well as putting their own personal spin to it without compromising the creativity of Lennon and McCartney.
Special note: This was the only Beatles song that Lennon ever sang as a solo artist.
5. Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground"
5. Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground"
"Higher Ground" was written and performed by Stevie Wonder in 1973. It appeared on his 18 album Innervisions in 1973. In 2004 Rolling Stone magazine listed the song at 265 out of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
The song is about the importance of second chances in life and always making the most out of that second chance; not to squander the opportunity.
The song was written and recorded three months before Wonder was in a car accident that led him into being in a coma for four days. After coming out of the coma the singer realized this was his second chance; to do something more or at least better. The songs he wrote and recorded after his recovery demonstrates this different approach even in his music.
In 1989 the rock band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, included Higher Ground on their album Mother's Milk. Their version of the song gave a new genre a taste of great lyrics and was performed as a typical rock song. The music video is fun to watch as well.
The rock version of Higher Ground has been featured on episodes of Beavis and Butthead as well as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and in movies such as Walking Tall, The Longest Yard, and The Change-Up.
Although there are some critics who are disapproving of this version, the Red Hot Chili Peppers did an amazing job performing a song that was so strongly identified as the work of Stevie Wonder and at the same time they paid homage to one of their idols.
6. The Shirelles' "Will You Love Me Tomorrow"
6. The Shirelles' "Will You Love Me Tomorrow"
Singer/Songwriter Carole King and her then-husband Gerry Goffin wrote the song in 1960 and was first performed by the The Shirelles in 1960. When they first released the song the title was just "Tomorrow", but it was eventually redistributed under the original title "Will You Love Me Tomorrow".
Despite the song becoming a number one hit, many radio stations didn't want to play the song because they felt that the lyrics were too sexual. The song became a hit anyway despite its sexual lyrics which had the girl wondering if she gave in to the boy, would he still be there/love her the next day. These words were what probably made the song a hit because it spoke to the anxiety and unsurety teenage girls often feel.
It is a beautifully written song and is still being recorded or sung today 53 years after it was written. It is still requested and played at weddings, anniversaries and even some funerals.
Over the years, over 75 different recording artists have performed this song. Carole King even covered it in 1971 on her Tapestry album. Kanye West sampled the song in 2010. The Bee Gees rendition was amazing and Carole King has even said that their cover was her favorite of all time. Anson Williams' character on Happy Days, Potsie Weber, also did a great job covering the song, but it wasn't the best version.
In 2010 Dominican singer Leslie Grace covered the song as her debut single and her version is amazing. The music video that came with her cover stayed true to the message of the song opting to film it in black and white as well as with a 1960s flair.
What makes this song stand out is that in addition to the English lyrics, Ms. Grace also performed it in the bachata genre which originated in her native country the Dominican Republic in the 1960s.
Will You Love Me Tomorrow is a perfect song to be performed as a bachata because this genre's music focuses on topics of romance especially romance associated with sadness and heartbreak.
7. Melanie's "Brand New Key"
7. Melanie's "Brand New Key"
Folk singer Melanie Safka, who was professionally known as Melanie, wrote the song "Brand New Key" in 1970 and it became an instant hit in 1971. Many people would also refer to the song as the roller skate song because of the chorus.
As was the case of many songs that were recorded during this time people thought there were hidden sexual meanings in the song even though Melanie herself has said that that wasn't the case.
Leave it up to certain people to find something bad in everything.
"Brand New Key" was a fun song about a girl who had a crush on a boy and her mode of transportation were roller skates which were a trendy mode of transportation for girls during that era. It introduced popular music fans to the work of the folk singer who would go on to have a string of mainstream hits.
Throughout the years various artists have covered the album such as Rasputina, Olivia Newton-John, Cher and Katherine McPhee, but the best version didn't come from a female artist. The best remake of "Brand New Key" was performed by an all-male Dutch rock band, Racoon, in 2012.
The group actually stayed true to Melanie's vision as well as lyrics and performed it mostly using acoustics which gave it a real warm sound.
8. Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide"
8. Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide"
"Landslide" was written in 1974 by singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks and performed by the rock group Fleetwood Mac. The song appeared on their album titled Fleetwood Mac. It was also Nicks first contribution as a songwriter to the group.
The song is about time and how time can move quickly; it's about retrospection over what has been and the journey, time as well as life, often takes you on. It's a bittersweet song, but is also full profound wisdom.
Stevie Nicks said that at the time she wrote "Landslide" she was at a crossroads in her life and was trying to figure out what she should do; stay with the group or go back to school. Her purpose of writing the song was to convey the importance of sometimes taking a chance even if everything that comes with the risk is like an avalanche.
Over the years there have been several versions of this song from artists such as Miley Cyrus, Stacey Kent, Tori Amos and Lady Antebellum. It has also been sung on various signing competition shows like American Idol, The X Factor and The Voice.
There are actually two covers of this song that are very good.
The first one was done in 2002 by the country group Dixie Chicks is probably the most well known. Like many singers in that genre the story within the lyrics play a big part in the way the song is sung as well as how the video was made.
The second version that was covered by the alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins in 1994 is surprisingly good. They performed the song as it was intended and showed their softer side which is always a beautiful thing.
9. Cat Stevens' "The First Cut is the Deepest"
9. Cat Stevens' "The First Cut is the Deepest"
Singer/Songwriter Cat Stevens wrote "The First Cut is the Deepest" in 1967 and the song was first performed by soul singer P.P. Arnold in the spring of 1967. Cat Stevens would go on to perform the song later that year and it appeared on his album titled New Masters.
The lyrics are pretty simply written which was Cat Stevens style. The song is about a painful experience of love and how badly it can hurt to the point where someone doesn't think or believe that they can ever love again.
It's also a song about how difficult it is to trust someone else after you've been hurt even when another person comes along.
Over the years this song has been covered several times although Rod Stewart's 1977 version is probably the most famous. Rod Stewart's raspy voice was a perfect accompaniment for the song as it lends to the sadness and heartbreak that the lyrics provide.
Stewart has also been through his share of heartbreak and relationships that have gone bad often in the public eye. By performing this song it also gives both Stewart and the lyrics a type of credibility to make it all the more believable.
Strangely enough, there were many Jamaican musical acts that covered this song as well. One of the better versions was Norma Frazier's in 1967. In the 1970s Frazier performed it live with the ska band The Skatalites.
10. Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
10. Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" was written by singer/songwriter Paul Simon when he was part of the duo Simon and Garfunkel. Art Garfunkel sang the lead in the song which was out of the norm since Paul Simon usually performed as the lead singer.
The song appeared in the album of the same name in 1970 and quickly became a hit. It has since sold over 7 million copies.
For a long time it was assumed that the song was about heroin and having a heroin addiction since several words that Simon opted to use were slang terms for heroin and addiction at that time. Years later Simon would finally say that the song was about his wife at the time, but many fans doubt this explanation as it was rumored that Simon dabbled a little in illicit drugs which would make the drug theory more acceptable.
It was also rumored that Paul Simon was adamant about Art Garfunkel singing the lead because he always felt that Garfunkel was a better singer.
Over the years several artists covered this song such as Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, Linda Clifford, The Jackson 5, Roberta Flack, Ann Murray, Celtic Woman, Andrea Bocelli, Mary J. Blige, and Stevie Wonder. Although these versions were different and worth a listen, they weren't the best.
There are two versions that stand out, not just because of the singing, but because the song was performed on special occasions that matter such as Memorial Day and World Water Day.
The first cover was done in 2013 by classical singer Jackie Evancho for World Water Day which held a ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her voice sounds almost like crystal clear water perhaps water that runs under a bridge. It's beautiful and well sung.
The second cover was performed in 2014 for a celebration of Memorial Day in Washington, D.C. by country singer Jennifer Nettles who is a member of the country band Sugarland. Although she did an outstanding job, there were several groups of veterans who felt that this particular song may have not been the best choice because of the meaning or assumed meaning (heroin) of the words.

Choosing the Right Bathtub
From Engineering on February 01, 2007 in Bathroom Remodel
A good bathroom can be timeless, so it's worth the investment to get a high quality, accessorized tub. By knowing your bathtub basics, you will be giving yourself years and years of "Calgon" moments. Bathtubs start around $500 for a basic model or up to $4000 for a top-of-the-line whirlpool tub.
Discuss your tub-type with the contractor as soon as possible because they are usually installed in the first stage of construction.
Whirlpool vs. Standard bathtub
Whirlpool - massage bathtubs generally are slightly larger than standard tubs and contain many little jets that shoot out water. These tubs tend to be a little deeper than a standard tub. Most of the whirlpool/massage type bathtubs state their size and capacity.
With a standard tub there are a few more things to consider, namely, ?how much space do I need?? Measure your bathtub before you install it. Does it fit the largest person in your family? You may have to modify the measurements and compromise a little if your family is very tall, very large, or if the ?perfect bathtub? is out of your budget.
Bathtub Styles
The following tubs are the most common; if you are looking for exotic or custom designs, your contractor can help.
Alcove tubs sit against the wall on three sides with only the front open. They have limited finishes and style and are fairly shallow because they're usually combined with a shower. When purchasing an alcove tub, be sure to specify if you want the drain to be on the left or right wall, ask about matching shower doors, and choose your tub surround. Note: If your shower is attached (a big space saver), it's best to go with a waterproof material such as ceramic tile or waterproof paint. Depending on your preference, you can have a shower door installed or use a shower curtain.
Freestanding tubs, with their roll-tops and cast-iron claw feet, were once the only type of bathtub found in American homes. Today, manufactures have given this centuries-old classic a new make-over. The design remains true to form?a sloped back and straight front?but the feet can be ball and claw, pedestal or legged. As for material, you can choose from cast iron, porcelain on steel, and acrylic. Remember these tubs are freestanding so their pipes are exposed.
Whirlpool tubs are specialty soaker tubs fitted with piping, an electric pump, and water jets which circulate massaging water. They come in a multitude of sizes, styles, colors and designs and are often made of fiberglass/acrylic or cast iron. Some whirlpools are quite compact so test the comfort level by hopping in, before you buy it. Whirlpool tubs come in two basic types: alcove (which look like ordinary bathtubs) and drop-in model (installed in the same fashion as a drop-in bathtub).
Tip from the Pros
If you want to add a large jetted tub to your project, consider adding a water heater dedicated to that tub. A large jetted tub can hold up to an average of 75 gallons or more, which can easily overextend your existing water heater and cause problems in the future.
Money Saving Tips
Consider re-glazing a tub instead of replacing it, especially if it is still in relatively good condition. This can save you more than half the cost of a tub replacement-and minimize the dust at the same time!

CHICAGO and BANGOR - Gary Richard Smith, 58, died unexpectedly Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012, at Resurrection Hospital, Chicago, with loved ones at his side. Gary was born Aug. 23, 1954.
Gary attended Bangor High School and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Maine. Gary was extremely proud of his military service that gave him the opportunity to work hard for his country and travel the world. He visited many places and one of the highlights of this time was going to the Vatican during a holy year and receiving a blessing from the Pope. Gary served for 23 years as a combat engineer, infantryman, and chemical operations and demolition expert. He received the following honors from the U.S. Army: Commendation Medal, Achievement Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon, Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon and the
of Occupation Medal. He made lifelong friendships and memories from his time in the service and even after he was honorably discharged he carried himself with the dignity and pride of a soldier. Gary went on to have a successful career in commercial construction as a site, safety and health officer. He was a very dedicated worker and received many certificates of excellence from the United States Army Corps of Engineers. He did a lot of this work in his second home, Chicago. Gary took great pride in the fact that he knew more about the city than a lot of the people born and raised there. He was an avid New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox fan but also rooted for the White Sox and the Bears in the city he loved so much. He enjoyed traveling north to Wisconsin to spend time on the shores of Lake Michigan, was a favorite customer and familiar face at many local establishments, and had good friends in Chicago that will miss him dearly.
Gary was predeceased by his loving parents, John Richard Smith and Joan (Hawkes) Smith of Bangor and we know he is reunited with them now. Gary is survived by his son, Sean Smith and his wife, Maulian Smith, of Indian Island and their precious daughters, Jayda Smith, Carmella Bear and Layla Bear. He was extremely proud of the good husband and father Sean has become and so happy that he married Maulian, whom Gary loved very much. He cherished his granddaughters and never missed a chance to talk about how beautiful they are. He is also survived by Sharon Belanger of Levant who, as a big sister, often took care of Gary and is always a source of love and stability for the whole family. Gary had a brother, Tim Smith of Troy; as well as several nieces and nephews. He was especially close with his niece, Tonia Berlucchi of Bangor. Gary is also survived by his longtime companion, Bonnie Halvorsen of Chicago. Gary had a special place in his heart for Sean's best friends since childhood, Travis Bogan of Hermon, Brandon Haney of Brewer and Jason Sudborough of Bangor who was like a nephew to him. Gary had a great lifelong friendship with his ex-wife and Sean's mother, Diane Bean and her husband, David Bean, of Bangor. The family also wants to acknowledge three of Gary's best friends, William J. Gritsonis of Chicago, Jim Donajski of Arizona and Tracy Norton of California.
Gary had a certain intensity about him that was contagious and set the tone in any room. He was animated and articulate about his beliefs and opinions and never held anything back. He fought hard and loved even harder. No matter how you felt about him, it is impossible to not be impacted by him if you were lucky enough to have known him. Gary believed in living well. Eating, drinking, laughing, yelling, loving and making memories were all things he took the time to do right and savor. When you were around him you felt as though you should take in each moment and enjoy it as much as humanly possible. He took the good with the bad in life and whether he was suffering with pain or hardship or enjoying the bliss of good cognac, Jimmy Buffett music, and great company he did so with passion and a fearless love of life.
Please join us in a celebration of his life 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013, at Brookings-Smith, 133 Center St., Bangor. There will be a reception afterward at the Sea Dog Bar and Restaurant, 26 Front St., Bangor. Donations in Gary's name may be made to Bangor Area Homeless Shelter, 263 Main St., Bangor, ME 04401. Condolences to the family may be expressed at

Originally, coming to the United States from Hungary in search of gold, Agoston Haraszthy settled in Sonoma as a grape farmer, establishing one of the first wineries in Sonoma in 1857. His early realization of the potential Sonoma had for viticulture, as well as his experimentation with many varieties of Vitas Vinafera grapes are what give Haraszthy the well-earned reputation as one of the fathers of California wine.
Due to Haraszthy's untimely death at the jaws of an alligator in a Nicaraguan stream in 1869, the Buena Vista Winery lay dormant and nonproductive for many decades. However, since 1949, the winery has been producing wines. With vineyards in the cool Sonoma region, Buena Vista makes the wines for which that region is known, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Chardonnay here tastes like a creamy, lemon apple with a hint of earthiness. The Pinot Noir has clean, red fruit aromas with good acidity and, also, a subtle earthiness.
The grounds of the winery are lovely, but the original stone house that now serves as the tasting room is absolutely compelling. With stone interior walls decorated with 19th century portraits and a large, dark wood tasting bar, it is hard to spend any time here and not think about the larger than life character that was Agoston Haraszthy. It is certainly worth a stop to pay homage to the Count of Buena Vista.
Buena Vista Winery is located at 18000 Old Winery Road in Sonoma.

KIMBALL, Wis. — A benefit dinner drew scores of supporters for Mike Tijan in his fight against multiple myeloma Saturday at the Kimball Community Center.
Tijan has been battling the disease for eight years, and is now facing a stem cell transplant. His brother Andy is a blood match.
Their sister, Teresa Vitovksy, said Mike has been undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments to decrease his cancer levels. She said that when Mike is well enough for the procedure, he and Andy will travel to the Mayo Clinic for the stem cell transplant.
The Tijan family has dealt with this type of hardship before. Their father Anthony was also diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Teresa said he was given only months to live, but instead made it nine more years.
She said their mother was killed in a car accident the following year.
Mike's illness has been another rallying point for a group that has seen more than its share of life's challenges.
"We've been very fortunate to be supported throughout the years by family and friends and this community," Teresa said.
Saturday's benefit was another outpouring of support. It included the dinner, a raffle, a silent auction and a performance by the band R3WYND. Teresa said more than 100 private and business donors from across the area contributed.
"It's very humbling to see how people in this area give and give and give," Teresa said. "They have no hesitation whatsoever."
"We can't say enough about the community," said Phil Tijan, another of Mike's siblings.
Teresa said the funds raised will help to defray medical costs for Mike, who was still working at his job as a machinist until October of last year.
"It's like Mike said," said Teresa. "There's no pity party in this family. We're going to keep fighting."
For more information, contact Deb Tijan at 715-360-0644 or Melinda Tijan at 715-561-2122. Monetary donations can be made to the Michael Tijan Medical Benefit Fund, care of Associated Bank in Hurley.

Panini, Please
Sierra Leone Starks | Photo: Courtesy Image | August 2, 2013
The last thing we'd expect to be eating on a hot summer day is a toasty pressed sandwich full of melted cheese. But because they're so delicious, it gives us an excuse to celebrate National Panini Month this August and bring the heat with our five fave panini places around the city. And a note for all the foodies: Panino is one, panini is plural.
Inman Perk Coffee
Named for the historic district of Inman Park in which it's located, this family-venture-turned-Atlanta-favorite brings the diverse neighborhood together to enjoy not only coffee but also a good panino every once in a while. With a plethora of panini to pick from, we suggest the raspberry cheese, grilled on artisan bread and served with a pickle spear. 240 N. Highland Ave., 678.705.4545, inmanperkcoffee.com
LPC Restaurant
Though their kitchen isn't actually made of stone (La Pietra Cucina translates to "the stone kitchen"), LPC's authentic cuisine is rocking. Join them for live music every Thursday and indulge in the classic Italian fare, which includes the Caprese panino—oven-dried tomato, pesto aioli and buffalo mozzarella pressed. 1545 W. Peachtree St. NE, 404.888.8709, lpcrestaurant.com
Cafe Jonah and the Magical Attic
Known for its comfy atmosphere and its incredibly friendly staff, Café Jonah is also home to an incredibly interesting turkey panino. Made grilled to order, with cheddar, blackberry-vanilla jam and arugula, this sandwich makes for melt-in-your-mouth goodness served with a side of artisan greens. 3188 Paces Ferry Place, 404.343.4107, cafejonah.com
Victory Sandwich Bar
This hipster sandwich shop in Decatur proves that a small menu with small priced items is definitely a win-win. Try the Lamborghini panino, a sandwich that packs in salami, capicola, red pepper, provolone and salsa verde to take your taste buds on a ride. 340 Church St., 404.377.9300, vicsandwich.com
Le Petit Marche
French flair meets Southern hospitality at this little market in Kirkwood. And as far as panini go, we honestly can't decide between the Basil Chicken and Pesto or the Spicy Roast Beef and Cheddar, both made with their respective house sauces. We'll take both with a side of sesame cabbage slaw. 1963 Hosea L Williams Drive NE, 404.371.9888, lepetitmarche.net

This guide was developed to provide a useful and scientifically accurate reference for organic farmers and agricultural professionals searching for information on best practices, available materials and perhaps most importantly, the efficacy of materials that are permitted for use in organic systems. Many products available to organic farmers have not been tested extensively, and current research has not been summarized or made widely available to the general producer. A major objective of this guide has been to review recent literature for published trials on material efficacy in order to provide reliable information that can be used by farmers to effectively manage pests. Additionally, a goal was to identify what materials have shown promise but need more research. Spiral-bound. MOFGA's Organic Crop Specialist, Eric Sideman, is a co-writer for this publication.

"Making %@It Up!," Wayne Brady's one-of-a-kind comedy show is at the Venetian Las Vegas for a little while longer and is a show you won't want to miss! While "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" put Brady on the map, "Making %@It Up!" solidifies Wayne Brady as a comic genius. In this show he sings, dances and improvises. If you haven't laughed hard enough in a while, go see this show. It's sure to delight. Brady performs with his improv partner, Jonathan Mangum who is also amazingly talented, and you never know if you'll be pulled into the fun onstage. The Las Vegas Review Journal named Wayne Brady as "Best All-Around Performer" in 2008 and there's a reason. This is by far, one of the best shows on the strip. If you're in the mood for comedy - this is the best.
The evening starts out with Mangum asking the audience for words, and not just words. Big words. The Brady does a rap, using all 7 words. Then the audience interaction begins. Two people are pulled out of the audience to provide sound effects for a scene that Brady and Mangum will perform. Then 2 more audience members are brought on stage for locomotion - to move Brady and Mangum's bodies during the next scene. 10 second scenes follow. Brady and Mangum create a scene and then they repeat it, adjusting it to 10 or so different types of movie genres. The result is utterly hilarious and side-splitting. I feel I must take a moment to commend the talents of Jonathan Mangum, as there wouldn't be a show without him. He is a valuable part of the dynamic.
The last portion of the show – "Celebrity Idol" – is definitely worth waiting for. Brady makes up songs, based on audience suggestions. He becomes MC Hammer, Prince, and a host of others.
Emmy award-winning comedian and improvisational genius, Wayne Brady, will perform at The Venetian Showroom Thursdays - Mondays at 9:00 p.m. in The Venetian Showroom through July 5th. Tickets for this Las Vegas show are $54, $76, $98, and $164 plus tax and handling fees. The $164 VIP tickets include a front-row seat and a chance to meet Wayne after the show!
Performance Schedule (Thursday- Monday):
June 24-28
July 1-5
Showtime: 9 pm
General ticket sales - (702) 414-9000 or (866) 641- 7469

I was at Seoul for attending an academic conference. The guest house is closer to the Seoul station (about 5 minutes), so It is convenient to go anywhere. Also, Mr. YM is nice and willing to answer any questions via Wimdu and at guest house. Although the room looks smaller than the picture on the Wimdu, it is clean and comfortable.
About the shortcomings: 1. Poor voice prevention. At the first night, some guests were noisy at the kitchen and their room even it was already midnight. 2. You should better prepare your own toothpaste because they replace room's toothpaste (actually includes shampoo and shower gel) until it run out.
I stayed here for about 3 months and it was great; it's more expensive than some other places you could stay in Seoul, but there's a good reason for that. Every room is brand new, and has everything you'll need. The place is kept very clean, and there is a bit of free food and/or tea and coffee that you can make for yourself each morning. When you move in everything will look exactly like the pictures - it really is that new and that clean.

at the docks for their charter without a fishing license; either not realizing that one was needed or assuming it would be provided. This omission put both the angler and the charter operator at risk, while the state was missing out on licensing revenue. The solution: fishing licenses in the form of a text message stored on the angler's cell phone. The angler visited a Web site specially designed to be viewed on a mobile device, and within three minutes could obtain a license. As a result, thousands of anglers in Michigan have used the service to obtain a license, and neither users or licensing officers have reported any problems.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources was the first agency to pilot a major policy shift toward accepting text messages stored on a mobile device as proof of licensure, balancing the need for a paper license with the convenience of buying a license online. And neither DNR licensing officers or applicants for the licenses reported any problems with the system.
Michigan sees mobile devices as "the emerging channel of choice for the next generation of citizens," according to the state's Digital States 2008 entry. Michigan sees DNR's success with issuing fishing licenses via a mobile device as an opportunity to issue other licenses (e.g. special permits for building trades) via a cell phone as well. In fact, there isn't an agency in state government involved in licensing an activity that could not benefit from DNR's mobile licensing solution, according to the state's survey response.
Clearly, Michigan deserves the mantle of a Digital State. As technology implementation continues in Michigan, the rest of the country may yet see the possibilities of living digitally, while elected officials will see the benefits that working digitally can bring to state government efficiency and their residents' quality of life.

At one point in our tango rehearsals I pulled him towards me, and he said, "When you pull me what happens is I come into you — but I weigh 190 pounds and I'm big, so the minute we connect you are going to fall backwards and be off balance. In a show, you make the illusion that you're pushing me; if you really push me, you're going to fall forward, because I'm heavy. And if I push into you you're going to fall backward." So it's like physics, basically, and a lot of it has to do with showmanship.
When I wasn't eliminated, I thought, oh god, I've got to go rehearse now and learn the new steps. We're doing the samba next week. The nice thing was Maks was so kind and lovely when we got to the studio. He put his arm on my shoulder and said, "The first thing you have to understand, Debi, is that this is not the Brazilian samba as you know it. You bring up Brazil, you bring up your friend that does it beautifully, you bring up things you've witnessed —this is not that. This is just a taste of the genre built into a ballroom format. I want you to let go of every ass-shaking thong moment — whatever your idea of samba is —and I want you to clear your mind. We're going to start from scratch and I want you to just learn footwork." He wants to stay in this just as much as I do, I truly believe. And so I'm learning how to make it less complicated. I have to alter the way I learn because of the way he teaches.
This workout with the samba, it's like a Jack LaLanne class: I'm holding my legs in squat position and gyrating my hips and my arms are flying through the air. It's very, very aerobic. My metabolism is burning so hard that I'm losing a pound a week. My thighs are reducing and my ribs are starting to stick out. And I really like to have a presence — I find that the bigger you are in a dance show, the sexier it looks; you really look like a woman. When you're skinny it looks kind of hard. For my next outfit I'm trying to create hips, because I don't have them, and I'm trying to make it soft and pretty.
As far as the other competitors go, it's like a big love-fest. We all are discovering each other, learning about each other's families and work things and problems and fears. Everyone is very stripped-down. Even watching Chuck Liddell look nervous has been highly interesting. To see someone like Tom DeLay, who has a stress fracture in his foot and is in a lot of pain — he and I are polar opposites in terms of what we believe in politically, and I realized I could probably get into it with him. But he's very self-deprecating in a really dark, very cool way, because he's been a politican for so long, and it's sort of fascinating. I don't dig too deep; we also don't have that much time.
Kathy Ireland was sweet as could be and super-supportive. Mya is really lovely, quiet and contained – and when she performs she just opens up and gives it to you. I find that so captivating and beautiful; I wish I had her poise on an everyday basis. And Joanna Krupa is a lot of fun and really generous.
My partner's breakup put a lot of stress on our rehearsals over the past six weeks, but he's in a much better place now, and I really think that this week is going to be great for us. We're both happy, and we have a really happy, sexy, fun dance. So I'm excited.
September 24 — The Premiere, and After
Saturday before the three-night season premiere was our first time rehearsing on the stage, which has steps. The floor was slippery, as some pro dancers like to use castor oil. I use water on the bottom of my shoes so as not to slide, per Maksim's instructions, but I slid anyway. My shoe fell off during the foxtrot and Maksim made me continue because there is no stopping, no matter what happens. He seemed happy with me, and I went on to a costume fitting.
I was stunned to find that I had gone down a size, from a 4 to a 2, though the scale doesn't say I've lost weight. I am getting too defined on my upper body and losing fat on my chest. I needed to shove in extra bra pads to make my boobs look like something.

Dear Sirs,
This is a newbie question and I am very sorry if this is a question that has been asked before.
I looked around this forum and couldnt find a definitive answer to the following question.
I have a Son who is presently on his 3rd deployment to a remote region where American military personell have limited access to any type of TV.
I would like to be able to record TV programming and send it to him on a disk so that he can watch it on some type of player on his PC.
I have a DISH Network Player-DVR 625 TV receiver that allows us to watch what I believe is an encrypted satellite TV signal that can be stored on a linux varient formatted drive.
The code used to encrypt the signal comes from a smart card installed on the DVR and validated from time to time via a phone line which is also connected to the DVR.
Can a "Moonsoon/Vulkano Device", be hooked up to one of the outputs of the reciever so that I can record TV shows which could be placed on an external drive and mailed to my Son for playback.
If so, could you tell me which components to purchase?
I am not a hacker and am looking for a legal solution to my sons need.
I dont care if the drive I send to my Son, needs to be encrypted or not encrypted.
I am willing to pay for a legal solution to this problem.
My Son lives with me and would be watching the same signal that I pay for and would send to him if he wasnt deployed.
Once again Thank You for reading/responding to this question.
If the "Moonsoon/Vulkano" device will not perform this task, do you have any idea on how I can accomplish this task using other equipment.
Thank You

yukon37: Right out of the box the Vulkano series of devices can do what you want but would require some technical expertise. There would be two or three approaches to consider for your situation to provide recorded shows from a Vulkano attached to your DISH VIP 625 DVR. The first option would be to record initially all your shows to an external hard drive, preferably the 500GB or 1 terabyte eSATA sold with the Vulkano Deluxe. Once each show or group of shows have been scheduled through the Vulkano scheduler and recorded, they can be transferred to a default directory on your PC set up as a part of the Vulkano PC player software installation. The transferred shows are all in high quality MP4 format that can be played back by a number of media player software packages, with the free VLC program being my favorite. Note that these video files in MP4 format use a naming syntax that does not include the name of the show recorded but a series of digits in the file name, I believe. I don't remember the syntax at the moment since I am at work and not at my home PC where I have the Vulkano PC player software installed. You might possibly be able to have your son install a copy of this software on a PC at his end and restore the transferred video files to their Vulkano directories on that PC and have them be playable. Probably wouldn't be that easy and untested at this point. This is all new territory for us with this unique but not finished product.
Second opton: Of course the ideal set up for your son would be to have a good fast internet connection at his end and use the Vulkano PC player software to transfer the recorded video shows directly to his direct Internet connected PC. Either you or he could schedule the programs to record.
OK, those were the easiest optons requiring the least technical approach to providing your son with shows to view. The third option would be to unplug the eSATA drive after shows are recorded on it and then attach to a PC that has an eSATA port and is able to read an EXT3 disk storage format, usually associated with computers running the Linux (Ubuntu being a favorite) operating system. Not an easy or simple option but thought I would mention.
There is a fourth option you may wish to consider and that is to record shows directly to your PC that is running the Vulkano PC player software but is a very manual process requiring you to schedule one show at time, setting the time period for the recording. When each recording is done, you schedule the next one. A little more time consuming but would work and is simple to do.
Let me know your thoughts and we can discuss more after you review my suggestions. Of course, there may be others in this forum that would also share their ideas wiith you. - Craig

Thank You both for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate the information and guidance although I'm still a little confused.
If I understand you both correctly the Vulkano delux will record the output from the Dish Network DVR625 but it could be in an encrypted format rendering it unreadable. Is that correct?
Or, will it render the recorded shows in an unencrypted mp4 format. Is that correct?
The interet connection at my Sons duty station is very bad and would not support a large file transfer and that's why I would need to place the recorded files on an external disc. If I send him an external 1 TB drive how much viewing time for shows can I expect to get on the drive.
Is it realistic to record the shows one at a time from a PC that is running the Vulkano PC player one at a time, rename the files to reflect the content and transfer the files to a drive that can be shipped to my Son.
Does the drive need to be the eSata drive supplied with the Vulkano Deluxe or can it be any USB external drive attached to the PC ?
Does the Vulkano Deluxe decrypt the Dish Network stream so that it can be usable or does it just record it in an encrypted format?
Thank You for clarifying thoughts for me. I want to ensure that money is spent wisely before embarking on a project.

Yukon727: I believe I may have been misunderstood by Bnborg and you in regards to any use of your DISH VIP 625 for recordings. No recordings are being created on the hard drive of your DISH VIP 625 DVR. You just as well could use a DISH VIP 222 Receiver attached to your Vulkano Platinum.
The options I offerd places all control with the Monsoon Vulkano Platinum to record shows to either an external hard drive attached to it, or to a desktop/laptop computer where the shows are recorded directly to the PC's hard drive over your network. The former approach allows you to set up multiple shows to record and then use the Transfer option in the Vulkano Player program on your PC to copy the MP4 files locally to the desktop/laptop computer's hard drive. The latter approach I suggested, where you are recording directly to your PC over the network, will work also but but you can set up only one show to record at a time and then schedule your next one, and next, and next...
You ask, "Does the drive need to be the eSata drive supplied with the Vulkano Deluxe or can it be any USB external drive attached to the PC ?" No, I used a spare USB attached external hard drive for the recordings. Success will vary wiith that USB external HD you have, which has been emphasized by Monsoon tech.
You ask, "Does the Vulkano Deluxe decrypt the Dish Network stream so that it can be usable or does it just record it in an encrypted format?" Remember that no recordings are being done to the VIP 625 DVR's hard drive. You willl be attaching the included Component video cables and RCA stereo cables from your VIP 625 to your Vulkano Platinum Input. Then for at least your initial setup for your Platinum, you need to route the Video and Audio output to your TV, either Component or Composite. (Alternatively, you can do your initial setup from a PC but is not ideal)
Lets walk through one scenario that I know works after setting up my Vulkano Platinum and keep it simple so as to be not misunderstood.
1. From my PC, running the Vulkano PC player program, I go to the EPG delivered schedule for my DISH service and click on a show to record at a specific time.
2. The show records to the external hard drive I attached to my Vulkano Platinum via a USB connection. When the recording is finished, I can use the 'Transfer' in my Vulkano PC player program to trasfer a copy of the show from the the USB attached hard drive to my PC's hard drive. All shows go to a default directory on my PC set up when I installed the Vulkano PC player.
3. Once the shows are stored locally as a result of using the 'Transfer' faciility, you can copy those video show files (after renaming) to an external hard drive to send to your son. These files are in the MP4 compressed format, but are not encrypted. I seem to remember a one hour show takes about a 1 GIG of storage. Someone please correct me if I am incorrect here. So, a 1 terabyte hard drive could store quite a few shows. It would be preferable to include an installable version of the VLC media player program on the same hard drive you send to your son. He may not have a media player program at his end capable of playing MP4 video files.
I hope this helps and would be glad to provide any additional hints as I get more used to my Vulkano Platinum that I've had for about 2 weeks. Had a little set back last night and have to bring back up my prime PC that appears to have a bad power suppliy or failed motherboard. - Craig

LG KM710 "Rhythm" now available from Alltel for $120
Anyone think we're nearly running out of choices for music-centric mobile phones? Me neither. But Alltel now offers yet another solution for your lack of a Walkman (or if you're hip, iPod), in the form of the LG Rhythm.
The LG Rhythm is the U.S. variant of the LG KM710, and features a 2-inch screen, 3.5mm headphone jack and a bunch of music feature-activating shortcuts clustered upon its face. There's even a huge music note drawn dead center below the screen, probably to denote something. That it's targeting music-minded users, perhaps?
Sarcasm aside, the LG Rhythm for Alltel also works with Bluetooth headphones and has an FM transmitter, for those times when you want to cut loose from your wires but still want to enjoy good music. And when you run out of tunes, a handy FM radio is on-board, as is a 1.3 megapixel camera and microSD card slot.
But exactly how inexpensive will it be? Just $120, senior, after a $50 mail-in rebate under a standard 2-year contract.

"Survivor" is a term—a title if you will—that's thrown around a lot these days, and I'm not truly sure if I want to own it. But, for lack of a better description, I guess I fit the bill. The reason I'm not overly fond of the term "survivor" is that it denotes living through and beyond mostly what folks describe as negative experiences. However, a lot of positive philosophy and understanding is spawned from negative physical experiences. For example, I grew up poor. Therefore, I learned humility and how to be thrifty. I also gained a sense of charity and compassion for others. I have a brother that is just 18 months older than me who has autism and mental retardation. This made me wonder about all sorts of things. It gave me curiosity and a love for learning. Growing up with my autistic brother also made me ask questions such as Why him? Why not me? What's going on in his brain that words don't express? What does he feel? What does he think about?
Trying to answer these questions made me buckle down in school and start to study. When I decided to become a student, I entered an essay contest to win a complete 24-volume Encyclopedia Britannica. I thought if I had these books, I could become a scholar and attend Harvard some day. I was just 14 years old at the time. The contest was open to all students entering ninth grade through 12th grade in New England. The topic was, "What career would you like to pursue and why?" I wrote about my desire to figure out the mysteries of the brain and find a reason and cure for autism. I won. This would be the first of many essay contests I would win that year. My grades in school soared, and I was on the top of the heap. I was even nominated to participate in the Miss Teenage Pageant of Massachusetts.
It was 1972; I was in ninth grade, and my whole family attended the pageant. I truly believe they had a much better time there than I did. I had this looming dark cloud feeling the whole weekend that I could not explain. I had been used to winning in my small school community in Malden, Ma. And, finally, against all those older and more sophisticated teenage girls, I was no competition. A lot of them were much more versed in the trends of the day. They smoked, wore make-up, had boyfriends. I was a studious type that loved ballet, biology, getting good grades in school and pleasing my parents. I felt a bit like a socio-economic misfit at the pageant. All my clothes were borrowed from a younger cousin, and my mother sent me to two sessions of "charm school" to learn how to walk, talk and apply make-up. I hated that! I thought I walked and talked just fine! Long story short: I came home with no trophies or accolades. My parents both experienced health "incidents" that weekend, which I learned about much later. Four months after the pageant my mother would succumb to ovarian and uterine cancer; 10 years after she had suffered breast cancer. My father followed her to the grave just 46 days after with a massive heart attack. She was only 55 years, 41 days old. My father was just 10 days shy of his 52nd birthday. Today, at 55 years old, I have out-survived them both despite having had breast cancer myself at the age of 47.
I actually first came in touch with my own mortality when I was 35 years old. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have experienced so many treatments—a story of "survival" in and of itself. Without going in to a lot of detail, I can tell you that I learned about the mysteries of pain. At one time, I depended on a quad cane to get around. It's astounding that today with all the new discoveries in medicine, I am so fortunate to be able to not only walk without a cane but run marathons!

I'm having an Ubuntu running PC with audio system (speakers, volume regulator) connected directly to it's sound card. I'm looking for a solution to share the audio from windows-running notebook to this audio system. I'd also like to be able to temporary mute the audio stream from windows, or choose the audio source on the linux machine. I'm not talking about sharing media, just the audio stream from windows! I don't want to sync music or so, just connect the notebook to the speakers over wifi, using linux PC as kind of a mediator.
I looked around for a while, and did not find much. There is very little out there that can redirect Windows sound output besides the virtual sound cards used by remote desktop syle products.
I did find one possible solution. I found a program called Jamcast which is primarily intended as a way to stream music from any possible windows source. It has special support for some programs, but also offers a virtual sound card feature that works by streaming all the audio, music or otherwise.
I've not actually tried this software, but it sounds like it should work. It does cost $30, which is not ideal, but at least it offers a 14 day trial.
On Linux you would just connect to the stream at
The tricky part would be automatically connecting to the Windows laptop when it is powered on or resumes from sleep. You could have the Linux box poll every 5 minutes or so, but that may be more delay than you want. Another possibility: you could script something up where when the Windows machine starts/resumes it connects to some server on the Linux box, which launches MPlayer (or vlc, or other streaming app) with the right parameters.

General medicines (OTC, or "over the counter") for pain, upset stomach, colds or flu, as well as vitamins and ointments, can be purchased without prescription in the USA. Other drugs, such as antibiotics, cannot be purchased without a "prescription" (written authorization from your physician). Not all drugstores have a pharmacy on the premises where prescription drug orders can be filled. Though most common prescription drugs can be obtained through the Purchase Health Services office, consult them or for a recommended local pharmacy.

What would you think of a museum art exhibit that featured the American flag, not in a traditional flagpole display, but desecrated in a number of unusual, thought-provoking ways?
One work featured the American flag wrapped like a swaddling cloth around a baby who is being held by a Ku Klux Klan member in full white-sheet regalia. And, to enter the exhibit, you were forced to walk on a giant American flag unfurled on the floor, similar to the "red carpet" entrances of celebrity events.
Several years ago, that type of American flag exhibit opened at an art museum in our city. To say the least, the exhibit stirred raw emotion, protest and public debate. There's something about the flag of the United States of America that brings out the best—and sometimes the worst—in people. When that exhibit came to town, I thought about this quote by Voltaire: "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
Memorial Day is fast approaching, and flags will be waving up and down the street in remembrance of the brave service men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice to give us the freedom we enjoy today. These freedoms even include public art exhibitions with which we don't necessarily see eye-to-eye.
Here at University of Phoenix, we are honoring an annual, heartfelt tradition with regard to the American flag in which employees and volunteers will place more than 10,000 flags on the lawn of our building in a design that reads, "Freedom is never free." That statement speaks volumes as we commemorate Memorial Day and our fallen service members. The flags will be on display until Memorial Day weekend, at which point they will be taken down so that all 10,000 can be placed on individual U.S. military service members' graves at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona. It's our humble way of saying, "Thank you for your service to our country."
On Memorial Day—and every day—let's respect what that American flag represents. Remember those who perished to ensure that it may forever wave.
EDITOR'S NOTE: If you haven't done so already, please click on the Memorial Day Tribute Wall link on our Phoenix Patriot home page (http://phoenixpatriotmagazine.com/memorial-day-tribute/) and pay tribute to someone you know who has honorably served—or to all of our brave and selfless U.S. military service members, then and now.

It is good to see a few St. Louis Tai Chi (Taiji) instructors team up to host a Tai Chi and Qigong retreat program for the region on the weekend of May 30th through June 1st.

USAWKF International gold medalist Sifu Tim Bruewer of the St. Louis Taoist Association will also join the retreat and teach Taoism. What is even more exciting is that Master Feng Xiuqian from Beijing, China will attend the event. Master Feng is the younger daughter of late Grandmaster Feng Zhi Qiang. She attested how Tai Chi revived her health in an interview in 2011 and you can read the article here http://www.examiner.com/article/master-feng-xiuqian-on-tai-chi .

The Fort Point Channel Landmark District (FPCLD) encompasses roughly 55 acres across the Fort Point Channel from downtown Boston. Developed in the 1830s by the Boston Wharf Company and owned by the company until the early 2000s, the Fort Point Channel area is Boston's largest, most cohesive, and most significant collection of late 19th and early 20th century industrial loft buildings.
Development of the Fort Point Channel area began in 1836 and continued until 1882. The Boston Wharf Company was entirely responsible for the development of the area; they laid out and constructed streets (which they named for company officers and prominent tenants), parceled out lots, and erected nearly all of the buildings in the FPCLD from the designs of their own staff architects. The primary purposes for the buildings were manufacturing and warehousing, with a variety of goods being produced and stored there. The Boston Wharf Company initially specialized in the storage of sugar and molasses, and gradually expanded its interests to become a major developer of industrial and warehouse properties served by ships docking in Boston Harbor, and by the railroad. Among the chief industries located in the Fort Point Channel area was the wool trade. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Boston was the principal marketplace for wool for apparel and fabrics in the United States. After warehousing and manufacturing uses declined in the 20th century, artists moved into the abandoned lofts and created what is now New England's largest artist enclave.
The Fort Point Channel district is marked by an exceptional degree of visual uniformity. The buildings in the area are, with few exceptions, loft structures built between the 1880s and 1920s by the Boston Wharf Company, and represent an unusually coherent and well-preserved collection of late 19th and early 20th century lofts that reflect a critical period of social, economic, and physical development in the City and the region. The loft buildings are generally masonry, with simple volumes and flat roofs. Buildings are elegantly proportioned, with classically inspired details concentrated at entrances and cornices.
The Fort Point Channel Landmark District was designated by a vote by Boston Landmarks Commission on December 9, 2008, then confirmed by Mayor Thomas M. Menino and approved by a vote of City Council on January 28, 2009.
All exterior work that is visible from any existing or proposed street or way open to public travel requires the review of the Fort Point Channel Landmark District Commission. A Certificate of Appropriateness, Design Approval, or Exemption Application must be submitted to and approved by the Commission prior to beginning any exterior work is visible from any existing or proposed street or way open to public travel.
See the Standards and Criteria for the Fort Point Channel Landmark District Commission for further information.
Applications, application instructions, and a schedule of filing deadlines and hearing dates are available below. To save time and costs, property owners and developers are encouraged to contact staff early on in the project planning process, in order to obtain information on compliance with guidelines.
Lissa Schwab, preservation planner for the Fort Point Channel Landmark District, may be reached at email@example.com or at 617-635-3850.

I'm a fairly bookish, library-loving mom who is constantly amazed by my 12-year-old
son. I could handle the skateboards, hockey, BMX bikes -- but now he wants a dirt
bike. I feel it's unsafe, environmentally unsound, and expensive -- but he is very angry
that I'm shutting him down without considering this. Are there groups out there that
would let him rent a bike and equipment and let me find out more about this without
shelling out big bucks?
Timid mom of daredevil kid
We just found out that we are going to have a little boy, and my husband is insistant that he have a dirtbike themed room. I looked on the web for fabric to make the crib bedding, but had no luck. Any suggestions? Any suggestions for other room decorations? Thanks! Kristen
My son got a dirt bike for his 11th b-day and now needs the right clothes (accessories) to go riding. Does anyone know of an outlet aroung here. Size YL 12-14, boots 8.5 or mens small, chest protector, pants, etc. . . Thanks
