Weight Loss * Strength & Conditioning * Functional Training * Group Training
I've always had a passion for fitness and played every sport my parents would let me play. My weight was never a real issue for me until...I had a baby. A couple of years after our son was born and the weight just wasn't magically disappearing I realized that I had to not only take care of our precious joy, but also really take care of myself for our son. It required making time to be active, and make good food choices. I hired a trainer and dropped 85+ lbs!! Shortly after, we opened SilverBack Fitness. I started teaching Group Classes and found it to be incredibly rewarding. I love sharing my story with other mom's and individuals who have struggled with weight. Come by and take a class. You'll be happy you did and you'll feel great afterwards!
I am a National Strength and Conditioning Certified Personal Training and a Professional Fitness Institute's Personal Trainer. I got into bodybuilding/Health & Fitness in 2000. I attended the Professional Fitness Trainer Program at Allied Health Careers in 2009 and immediately after graduating the program I started SilverBack Fitness LLC. I truly believe that helping people transform their health which leads to an improved lifestyle is my "Calling". I will continue to help as many people as I can to become more functional and active in their daily lives while offering high quality fitness service at competitive prices.

The Peanut Festival gives visitors the chance to see and play with a number of animals they wouldn't otherwise get to see.
Meet Joey, He travels the country with a yak, camels, goats and alpacas so kids can get up close and personal.
"A lot of kids have never seen animals before and just for their laughter and just to see them smiling when they leave the petting zoo," says Brent Cook with the Circle C Petting Farm.
Most of the exotic animals in the petting zoo were hand raised from an early age making them gentle and fun for kids or adults.
Just next door you can catch a pig race at the "Hogway Speedway."
The grand prize for winning the race is a silver platter of Cheese Doodles.
"The winner gets the cheese doodles the losers get the crumbs," says Cook.
Off the farm and in the water, you won't want to miss sea lions showing off and playing around.
"They do all the cute little tricks like ball balancing, and back flips and they dance," says their trainer, Gala Rogacheva.
The sea lions are teaching kids about pollution.
"My girls will actually show you what happens if they swallow plastic in the wild," says Rogacheva, "Stella is our rescued sea lion. We actually found her on the beach with plastic in her digestive track."
Now Stella's safe and loves to entertain. You can catch her act at this year's Peanut Festival.
All of these exhibits are free to watch and visit. But if you'd like to feed the animals at the petting zoo, carrots are a dollar and if you'd like to have your picture taken with the sea lions that will also cost you extra.

ACS Valves
Air passes through a slot in the bottom of each endplate into the feeder housing and mixes with material being conveyed by the 10-vane rotor. The feeder thus aerates the material and helps it to flow freely. The aeration also helps to keep sticky or abrasive ingredients away from the feeder housing, endplates, and rotor, thus reducing wear on the unit.
In addition, the rotor design prevents material from building up inside the feeder. The precision tolerance of the 10-vane rotor design inside the unit prevents excess air from passing through the valve.

Dallas County Judge Foster still talking to feds about John Wiley Price
The Dallas City Hall corruption trial is over, but shakedown allegations in the city are alive and well.
And the feud between Dallas County Judge Jim Foster and County Commissioner John Wiley Price, which has spilled into the courts, is revealing some interesting things about that topic.
Price managed to drag Foster into court twice to grill him under oath about statements he allegedly made to the Dallas Observer, accusing Price of shaking down a key inland port developer. Price wasn't happy and seemed to be exploring a defamation lawsuit against Foster (who says the Observer misquoted him).
During the first deposition, Foster said the FBI had questioned him about Price.
During the second deposition — taken Sept. 28, 2009 — the issue of the FBI's investigation came up again. But let's just get to the juicy parts.
Here is a notable exchange:
Mark D. Johnson (Price's attorney): Well, let me ask you: When was the last time you spoke with the FBI regarding Commissioner Price?
John Barr (Foster's attorney): Objection.
The Court (Judge Ken Tapscott): Overruled.
Foster: Ten minutes ago.
Johnson: Ten minutes ago?
More interesting details from the depo on the jump.
Foster said during the September deposition that the FBI first contacted him around August 2008 and asked him about a "wide range of topics."
Foster said he couldn't remember all those topics but that the feds asked him questions about "female associates" of Price.
During the questioning, Chris Weil, one of Foster's attorneys, asked Price's lawyer to ask his client "not to be so demonstrative" during the deposition because it was a "distraction for both of us."
Foster also said under oath that inland port developer Richard Allen told him he believed Price was trying to shake him down by requiring him to hire certain consultants. The inland port is in Price's district.
One more exchange:
Johnson: Based on the information that's available to you, do you believe Commissioner Price committed a shakedown of any sort with respect to the Inland Port project?
Foster: Based on the information that's available to me and based on my opinion of the definition, I would say yes.
You can read more about the alleged inland port shakedown here.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 3.2 in 9 reviews
My friends and I played this game a few weekends ago and had a wonderful time. Although my husband had to preface everything he said with, 'Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle...,' I think even HE had fun. I look forward to getting my own copy and introducing it to other friends. I'm positive that everyone else will enjoy it, too!
We've played this a few times in my gaming group, and always had fun...granted, the game may take a little longer than expected, but if you put a time limit for people's turns, then it can help tremendously. (And who wants to sit there while your opponent stares at his cards for the fifth minute and whines, 'well, what am I gonna do?')
The cards look great too - the artists have captured that playful, Brian Froud spirit in the drawings. Just have fun with it - it's only a game, after all!
Almohada does a very good job of explaining how Elixir works in a previous review, so I won't add anything to that.
Elixir requires participants who are not reserved, or if they are normally quiet, players who will come out of their shells with a little nudging. During the game, players may cast spells on their opponents that might make them sing a song, or make them 'profess their love' for another player. If your co-players are outgoing and have a sense of humor, you and they will have a lot of fun with this game.
My gaming group liked this game so much the first time we played it, they insisted we immediately play it again. And luckily, there are a large enough quantity of spells in the deck that there isn't frequent repetition from game to game.
One thing I do want to point out is that, even though the game says it's for 3-8 players, don't play with more than 6. We tried it once with 8 and the game just went on and on and on. If you stick with 6 or fewer players, you'll have a hoot with Elixir.

Civilization hasn't stifled your desire to cast spells and get people to act foolishly, has it? Splendid! Activate all your Spell Cards to win. Your hand of Find Cards has all the exotic ingredients needed to cast the spells. Spells often force another player to behave strangely for one or more turns to avoid losing a Find. Others redistribute Finds or unused spells, nullify another spell, or allow you to replenish Finds. Why's that idiot hopping around the table and calling me "Master"? Because he's obeying you. What fools these mortals be... Master!

What do you do when you catch them?
At least you went….which is more than I think I would do. This was truly a "taking one for the family" event.

27 April 1998
Washington -- Senator Jesse Helms says the debate on NATO enlargement has shown that "most senators...are reaching the correct conclusion that bringing Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic into the NATO alliance is the right thing to do." Helms spoke April 27 on the Senate floor as debate resumed on NATO enlargement, with a vote anticipated later in the week. Following is the text of Helms' statement: (begin text) Mr. President, prior to the Easter recess there was some spirited discussion on the question of NATO expansion. And the debate so far has shown that most senators, I believe, are reaching the correct conclusion that bringing Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic into the NATO alliance is the right thing to do. To be sure, there are some commentators who vow that they know more than the rest of us and who bloviate for a living on the TV talk shows and in newspaper op-ed pages. They have been wringing their hands declaring how awful it is that the Senate is not taking this vital foreign policy issue seriously. How awful, they lament, that the Senate is not paying adequate attention to this important issue. It perhaps should be responded to these commentators: "Heal thouselves!" In fact, most of them have ignored the debate that the Senate has been having for months on this issue. Most of the commentators have just tuned in. If they had paid attention, they would know why the Senate today appears to have reached a broad consensus on the wisdom of NATO expansion. And they would not be confusing that consensus with a lack of serious discussion and debate. The fact is, we have been working with the Administration leaders for nine months now to fix their approach to NATO expansion. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate NATO Observer Group have made concerted efforts to address the contentious issues early on, precisely to ensure that the major problems with NATO expansion were addressed by the time we reached the Senate floor. Last Fall, when we began the Foreign Relations Committee's extensive hearings on NATO expansion, I gave the Administration a clear warning, emphasizing that there was a right way and a wrong way to expand NATO and that, in my view, and in the view of many senators, the Administration was doing it the wrong way. When Secretary Albright first came to testify before the Foreign Relations Committee, I told her that while I wanted to be helpful to her in achieving Senate ratification of NATO expansion, it was essential that we work together to fix what was wrong with the Administration's approach, and make sure it was done the right way. And, during the ensuing months, that is exactly what we did. We held eight separate hearings in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to discuss and debate all aspects of the Administration's plan for NATO expansion. We heard from 38 different witnesses and produced a hearing transcript that is 532 pages long. And the Foreign Relations Committee began working with Secretary Albright to make the necessary course corrections in the Administration's approach to expansion. I can report that we have successfully made those course corrections. When we finally vote on the Senate's Resolution of Ratification, we are not just voting to expand NATO -- we are voting to expand NATO the right way. The Clinton Administration has agreed to a tightly-worded Resolution of Ratification, which includes strict, legally-binding language that, among other things: -- Requires that "the core purpose of NATO must continue to be the collective defense of the territory of all NATO members" -- not peacekeeping, or the achievement of so-called "non-military" goals; -- Requires that NATO defense planning, command structures and force goals be centered on ensuring the territorial defense of member countries; -- Builds impenetrable "fire walls" in the NATO-Russia relationship, ensuring that Russia will have neither a voice nor a veto in NATO decision-making, and that the NATO-Russia Permanent Joint Council be a forum for explaining -- not negotiating -- NATO policy decisions; -- Requires extensive consultation with the Senate in the case of any proposed changes in the "strategic concept" of NATO; -- Reaffirms that NATO does not require the consent of the United Nations, or any other international organization, to take any actions it deems necessary to defend the security interests of its members; -- Requires the Administration to develop, and report to Congress, on a plan for a NATO ballistic missile defense system to protect Europe; -- Places strict limits on the costs to the American taxpayers for expansion, ensuring that our current NATO allies pay their fair share, and that the American taxpayers are not required to subsidize the national expenses of Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic for them to meet their NATO commitments; If the Administration had refused to accept these and other conditions contained in the resolution, we would not have the consensus we have here today. I, for one, would be on the Senate floor this week leading the fight to delay NATO expansion until they did accept those conditions. And the professional commentators would probably be criticizing the Senate for holding up this important treaty, and holding this important Administration priority hostage. Now consensus is not unanimity. A number of my Senate colleagues, for whom I have enormous respect, still have concerns. For one, we have heard some senators raise the issue of NATO "dilution". I am concerned about the dilution of NATO as well. But let's not confuse the issue: No one should be concerned that adding these new members will somehow dilute NATO. What we need to prevent is the dilution of NATO's mission and purpose. We need to make sure that peacekeeping and nation-building do not eclipse territorial defense as primary Alliance functions. I believe we have done that with our Resolution of Ratification by requiring that NATO defense planning remain focused on territorial defense, and tied to the security of NATO members (not vague concepts like "stability" in Europe). Now, the most important step we can take to stop NATO dilution is to bring Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic into the NATO alliance. These countries know better than anyone the need to keep NATO focused on territorial defense. They each spent the better part of this century either under foreign occupation, or as satellites of a hostile superpower. They represent three more votes within the councils of NATO for the view of a NATO with a clear-cut, limited mission. Some have suggested that we take steps to curtail NATO's ability to act "out of area" (i.e. outside the North Atlantic area). That would be a serious mistake. The threats to the NATO alliance are changing and evolving; the day may not be far off when the principal threat to the territory of NATO members will be not a resurgent Russia, but a missile strike or terrorist attack launched by rogue states such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, or Libya. Would we really want to constrain NATO's ability to respond "out of area" with disproportionate force against a regime which dared to use chemical or biological weapons on the territory of a NATO member? Would we want to bar NATO's ability to strike "out of area" to prevent such an attack? Of course not. With the end of the Cold War, NATO's ability to act out of area will be more important, as threats to the territory of NATO members change and evolve. Some have said that NATO expansion is unnecessarily provocative to Russia. That is just plain wrong. NATO expansion in no way threatens Russian democracy or precludes building friendly relations with Russia. If anything, it will make it easier for us to maintain friendly relations with Russia, because an expanded NATO will shut off Russia's avenues to more destructive patterns of behavior. As Henry Kissinger has pointed out, NATO expansion will "encourage Russian leaders to break with the fateful rhythm of Russian history...and discourage Russia's historical policy of creating a security belt of important, and, if possible, politically dependent states around its borders." In other words, Russia will no longer have the option, should the temptation ever arise, of seeking to restore its hegemony in Central Europe. With that avenue shut off, Russia is more likely to seek constructive options in its relations with the West. Some others have suggested the Senate require that Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic first gain admission to the European Union before we admit them into NATO. With all due respect to our friends in Europe, the European Union could not fight its way out of a wet paper bag. Giving the EU a veto over who does and who does not get into NATO would be nothing less than the abdication of American leadership in Europe. The fact is this: Admitting Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to NATO is in America's security interests. These nations will be among the most reliable, pro-American NATO allies we could hope for. Indeed, I'd go so far as to say that, not only do these countries need NATO, America needs these countries in NATO. That was certainly clear to this senator during the standoff with Iraq earlier this year. While many of our current NATO allies stuck their heads in the sand, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic immediately, and without hesitation, said they would send their troops in alongside American forces if a military response was necessary in Iraq. Further, while many of our friends in Europe pursue mercantilist policies in Cuba and China, these countries stand with us in working to promote human rights and democracy in those last bastions of communism. I am convinced that Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic will be among the first to stand with us in times of crisis, and will support America as we work to ensure that NATO remains what it is today -- the most effective military alliance in human history. As I have made clear, through the efforts of many senators, we have ensured with this Resolution of Ratification that NATO expansion is done the right way. I urge my colleagues now to vote for this Resolution, right the historical wrong of Yalta, and support NATO expansion. (end text)

Definición de Efik en inglés:
sustantivo (plural igual)

Oraciones de ejemplo
- At Abiriba the tradition is that their Ekpe was purchased from the Efik of Calabar with whom Abiriba traders were in close commercial contact.

MOREHEAD, Ky. -- Morehead State opens its 2011 football campaign with a Thursday night contest against NAIA foe Kentucky Christian at Jayne Stadium at 7 p.m.
From just down interstate 64 in Grayson, KCU is in its third season of intercollegiate football. The Knights are under the direction of former NFL wide receiver and first-year collegiate head coach Mike Furrey.
The Eagles are under the leadership of the dean of Pioneer Football League coaches, Matt Ballard. Entering his 18th year at the helm, Ballard ranks second among all current PFL coaches with 95 wins at MSU.
Morehead State closed out the 2010 campaign last November with a double overtime victory in Jayne Stadium against Campbell, lifting the Eagles' final marks to 5-6 overall and 4-4 in the PFL. With 16 starters back in the mix, MSU is primed for even better results in 2011.
On offense, junior quarterback Zach Lewis will run a new-look offensive system, getting the primary signals from new offensive coordinator Rob Tenyer. Lewis returns as one of the league's top passers, ranking second in the league last year in passing yardage (2,898) while tossing 15 touchdowns. Among his weapons of choice in the aerial game, the Eagles return nine of their top 10 pass catchers, including leading receiver Ronnie McDermott. Also back are juniors Jaison Yoshimura and Donte Sawyer, who combined for 65 catches and more than 600 yards.
Defensively, the Eagles are solid on the line and in the middle of the field at linebacker. Senior defensive ends Jerome Raymond and Mark Hall combined for 36 tackles for loss last year and look to do more damage to opponents' rushing games this year. Senior middle linebacker Tony Bachman set the MSU single season record for tackles in 2010.
Kentucky Christian enters the game fresh off a 20-6 victory at Southern Virginia last Saturday, giving Furrey a win in his debut. Deonte Merricks rushed for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Last year, the Knights finished their first full year in the Mid South Conference at 0-11.
Next week, the Eagles travel to Illinois State to face the Missouri Valley Conference's Redbirds in Normal, Ill., at 7:30 p.m. EST

A toxicology report shows a freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had a blood alcohol content of .22 percent when he fell to his death from a tower at a plant.
The Charlotte Observer reported that the toxicology report released Monday showed 18-year-old David Shannon of Charlotte had a blood alcohol content that was nearly three times the legal limit to drive. The autopsy results released Monday by the North Carolina Medical Examiner's Office showed he died of trauma to the head, neck and body.
Friends who followed a GPS signal from his cellphone found his body Oct. 27, 2012, at a Carrboro concrete plant.
Police have not ruled out the possibility that hazing was involved in Shannon's death. He was a fraternity pledge.

I am the #1 US seller of purse frames, Gutermann glue, and clutch PDFs.
What to do while the baby naps?
This was the central question for which I started my business in 2001. I had 3 cute little buggers all within four years! It seemed there was always at least one baby napping!
Knowing the tough market for part-time jobs (it's pretty much a fallacy to find a 9-2pm job), I started cutting and sewing while my babies were napping.
I started thinking about other women like me: stay-at-home moms who wanted to do something while their babies were napping. Because there's always laundry, dishes, and endless things on the to-do list, I thought they could be making clutches (like me) as a creative outlet that resulted in some real income. I almost named it "M.O.M. Ventures" standing for "My Own Money".
Since then, I've grown to become the #1 US seller of purse frames and best-selling PDF tutorials. My sister, Thy, joined the business in 2011 and we've grown in a manageable way where we both can still stay home and raise our kids. (We have 5 between us.) I have also come to realize that there are many women out there, not just SAHMs, who want a creative outlet or to make some income. I have worked with retirees, grandmas, college students, nurses, teachers ... all of whom have a need for a creative outlet that lets them create something.
My name is Winn and my work has been Putting Women in Business.
Get an instant 20% off of the regular price of $8 with this purchase for $6.40.
I made this bag and everyone complimented on it. I told them how easy it was to make it. You can make one too!
As with my other PDFs, you guys know I cannot sew with a traditional (e.g. Butterick's, McCall's) pattern. Like my middle child, I am a visual learner and linear thinker! (Autism buzzwords that you might be familiar with!)
So ...there is one step per page with an accompanying picture. It takes you step-by-step. We have some steps just to explain and set up for the next step and require little to do!
The PDF has also been formatted to be cut and stapled resulting in a mini instructional booklet allowing you to do one step per page. It's formatted so that it's in a small size that will not take too much room on your sewing area. You can do each step at a time and flip the page to get to the next step. The entire PDF can be printed out on regular 8.511 paper on your desktop printer.
The materials cost is minimal: you can use beloved scrap fabric left-over from previous projects!
So with little money spent on materials, you can start your own craft booth and make some side income. This project can even be hand-sewn if you don't own a sewing machine. (There are many who are struggling in this economy and have to pinch pennies.) We strive to teach you a new skill that is a low-cost way to start your own business. This is a PDF that will teach you skills to create meaningful, useful, functional and beautiful items that you can sell at your local church bazaar, school fundraiser or local crafts fair ... or Etsy shop.
Instructions and pictures are copyrights of whilebabynaps.com and Khuong LLC 2013. No reprints permitted. The purchase of this listing allows you the full legal ability to use my templates to make your own bags and clutches and sell at your local arts/crafts shows, school events, in-home hostess parties, or even on Etsy. There are no restrictions to make, to sell, and to start a new business! :)

The Herald is running articles, "Voices of the Mill," about the people who are being laid off work because of the Kimberly-Clark mill closing. It is sad that so many people are losing their jobs, but why don't you print the real story behind the mill closing?
You have to go to John Koster's website, www.kosterforcongress.com (candidate for U.S. Congress, 1st Congressional District) to discover it's the elitist beltway politicians beholden to the radical environmentalists that are the real cause of Kimberly-Clark mill closing. Let's put the blame where it belongs. Kimberly-Clark had a buyer for the mill but they couldn't cope with the mountains of demands by the environmentalists so they backed out of the deal!
The progressive/socialist policies and radical environmentalists are continuing to wreak havoc on our economy!

Purely numerical methods do not always provide an accurate way to find all the global solutions to nonlinear ordinary differential equations on infinite intervals. For example, finite-difference methods fail to capture the asymptotic behavior of solutions, which might be critical for ensuring global existence. We first show, by way of a detailed example, how asymptotic information alone provides significant insight into the structure of global solutions to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Then we propose a method for providing this missing asymptotic data to a numerical solver, and show how the combined approach provides more detailed results than either method alone.

An evening performance at the Cavern Club, scene of so many Beatles shows in 1962. There was, however, one difference: the presence of Parlophone producer George Martin in the audience.
Martin and his assistant Judy Lockhart-Smith - who would later become his wife - were unlikely spectators at the sweaty underground club. The reason was that Martin was considering the possibility of recording The Beatles in front of their home crowd, and releasing the live recordings as the group's début album.
Of course, he decided against the move, and the Please Please Me album was recorded and released early in 1963. A key factor in George Martin's decision was the fact that the sweaty, hot atmosphere in the club would be unsuitable for EMI's expensive recording equipment.
The Beatles were on a bill with The Fourmost, The Blue Jeans and the Zenith Six Jazz Band. Martin expressed an interest in The Fourmost's comedy routines, which prompted Brian Epstein to offer them a management contract.
We nearly blew it as George invited us to London and we worked up Happy Talk for the audition. It's a tricky piece and we were pleased with ourselves, but George Martin said that we were playing the wrong chords.
The Cavern, Spencer Leigh
This was The Beatles' 265th known Cavern Club performance took place on this day, and their 117th evening show.
Although the precise number of their Cavern performances is not known, The Beatles played at least 155 lunchtime and 125 evening shows. Their final performance at the underground venue took place on 3 August 1963.

If I remember correctly, this naming scheme goes back to the days of
ACR/NEMA. "PS" means Provisional Standard and PS 3 (the provisional
standard #3) is DICOM. PS3.1 refers to the first part of the DICOM
DICOM is certainly not "provisional" any more, but I don't think
that anyone dares to change this naming scheme now everybody
refers to it.

Definition of heroin in English:
A highly addictive analgesic drug derived from morphine, often used illicitly as a narcotic producing euphoria.
- Alternative name: diacetylmorphine; chemical formula: C17H17NO(C2H3O2)2.
Example sentences
- Any person trying heroin or any addictive drug for the first time knows that it can hook you.
- Caffeine is addictive and hooks you in the same way as amphetamines, cocaine and heroin.
- Yes, the use of heroin and harder drugs has also risen steadily there over a similar period.
Late 19th century: from German Heroin, from Latin heros 'hero' (because of its effects on the user's self-esteem).
The similarity in spelling between heroin and hero (Middle English) is not accidental. The name of the drug is a German word formed in the late 1890s from Latin heros 'hero', in reference to its effects, for the feelings of euphoria it can produce meant that in early tests users reported that they felt 'heroic'. Hero itself in an early Greek word.

Second seed Roger Federer produced a thrilling riposte to Gilles Simon's gallant attempt to knock him out of the French Open, coming from behind to beat the Frenchman 6-1 4-6 2-6 6-2 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals.
Federer's proud record of consecutive grand slam quarter-final appearances stretching back to 2004 looked in jeopardy when Simon turned the match on its head with some superb tennis after being initially outclassed.
But Federer refused to panic and hit back in style to take the sequence to 36 in front of a raucous late-evening crowd on Philippe Chatrier Court.
The 2009 champion will now face another Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for a place in the semi-finals.

I finally got fed up and closed my account. Low and behold they kept charging me for months after I no longer had an account and then charged me insufficient fees as well.

Silver Spring school leaving, could become 75 homes
With most of their students coming from outside Montgomery, the Chelsea School will leave Downtown Silver Spring in 2012 and has sold their property on Pershing Drive to a local developer hoping to build up to 75 new townhomes there.

Representatives from the private, special-needs school met with neighbors at a meeting of the adjacent Seven Oaks-Evanswood Civic Association last week, according to minutes provided to us by the organization's secretary. The Chelsea School explained that all but one of their ninety students commutes from Prince George's County or the District of Columbia, whose school districts pay for their education there.
Just two years ago, the school launched a massive capital campaign to build a library designed by starchitect Daniel Libeskind, but the economic downturn has forced them to close entirely. Instead, they'll teach from within public schools closer to where their students live.
As a result, the Chelsea School sold their five-acre campus near Pershing Drive and Cedar Street to Bethesda-based EYA. The developer's reputation for quality urban redevelopment projects in Silver Spring and throughout greater Washington was a factor in the school's decision to sell to them.
Representatives from EYA were also there to discuss their initial ideas about the project. They'd like to see a mix of seventy-five single-family homes and townhomes on the Chelsea School property, which is more than the current zoning would allow.
The site presents multiple challenges to designers, including steep slopes, a stand of trees close to Ellsworth Drive, and a number of existing buildings, most of which would likely be demolished, they explained. However, EYA would preserve the historic Riggs-Thompson House (PDF) on Pershing Drive, which dates to 1858 and is currently used by the school.
The Silver Spring Historical Society would like to see the house restored and used in "some public capacity," says president Jerry McCoy. "It is the society's hope that any project plan for the Chelsea School property will include ... plenty of green "breathing" space around the property to 'approximate' its historical setting," he wrote in an e-mail.
The developers compared their ideas for the Chelsea School site to projects they've built nearby, including the Cameron Hill townhouses at Colesville Road and Second Avenue, the Brownstones at Wheaton Metro, and the ongoing redevelopment of the National Park Seminary on Linden Lane. Each of their communities feature homes unique to that project, they explained, and anything built here would be designed specifically to fit with that neighborhood.
Another precedent EYA mentioned was Clarendon Park, a townhouse development near the Clarendon Metro station in Arlington. Like the Chelsea School site, Clarendon Park serves as a transition between a business district and a neighborhood of single-family homes. Here, Craftsman-style rowhouses sit behind a large mixed-use complex called the Market Common, with a large park sitting between them and existing homes.
Nonetheless, residents had concerns about the amount of traffic the new homes could create, and if existing trees on the property could be saved. EYA was unclear about whether they could save any trees on site, but they suggested that some open space could be set aside along Ellsworth opposite the current Silver Spring Library.
Some, however, are curious about the possibilities. "Five acres right next to [Downtown Silver Spring] should be used for higher density," says Liz Brent, who lives one block away from the school. As a real estate agent, she's familiar with EYA's work throughout the area. "We'd be lucky to have them, in my opinion," she adds.
Under current plans, the Chelsea School will stay in Silver Spring through the spring of 2012. Meanwhile, EYA will design the new project with community input and submit it to the Planning Department for approval, which will require re-zoning the property for townhouses. Construction could start as early as summer 2012 and finish within two years.
Or to put it another way, I would never see this level of quality in the Gazette. I wish I could do what you do.
I cringed when I saw the headline, but EYA seems to have a great portfolio of previous work. I hope the new project integrates well into the surrounding neighborhood and street grid.

As for the price of housing: Any development in MoCo with more than 35 homes will have to provide 12.5% subsidized affordable units, however, so there's a chance that a few lower-income households could live here as well. But, yeah, it'll be expensive. At least those of us who can't afford to live there (like me) can enjoy looking at it.
I wonder what will happen to the library's collection of yearbooks. This is devastating.

Things to Do
Discovery Cove
NileGuide Expert Says:
Best close encounters with dolphins and marine life
User Rating:
6000 Discovery Cove Way
Orlando, FL 32821
+1 407 370 1280
NileGuide Expert tip:
The park stays open late in the summer offering a twilight rate that includes dinner.
In July of 2000, Discovery Cove opened its gates and began providing a unique theme park experience that is nothing short of extraordinary. With a maximum of 1,000 guests per day, the park has managed to create an intimate feel – more like you're visiting a swanky resort in the Caribbean than visiting a theme park in the middle of Orlando. The admission price, though hefty, includes all of your needs…
towels, wet suits, lockers, snorkels, masks, sun tan lotion, souvenir photos and parking.
Meals and snacks are included as well (and not just hot dogs and hamburgers either). You'll start the day with a continental breakfast (pastries, muffins, fresh fruit, juices and coffee). You can have a hamburger for lunch if you'd like, but Discovery Cove also offers such items as grilled salmon and pasta primavera. Unlimited snacks such as chips, pretzels, nachos, ice cream and smoothies are available all day. You can also enjoy as much bottled water, soda, beer, and cappuccinos as you like.
If you've booked yourselves into the Dolphin Encounter, the friendly concierge will schedule your time in the Dolphin Lagoon when you arrive. During the 30-minute encounter, you and 5-7 other guests will wade into shallow water and get up close and personal with a very sociable and playful Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin. Your trainer will guide the dolphin through a series of activities, allowing you to touch and instruct the dolphin. You'll also be able to experience a dorsal tow ride. For dolphin lovers, the extra admission price to include this encounter is definitely worth it.
When you arrive, you'll also want to check on the feeding times at Ray Lagoon so you can make sure to schedule that into your day. You can interact with dozens of rays of all sizes, some up to four feet in diameter. It's an amazing experience to be amongst these gentle and graceful creatures. The Coral Reef is where you'll really get to test your snorkeling skills as you float along amongst the hundreds of brilliantly colored tropical fish and rays. Make sure you find the shark encounter. Don't worry… they're behind thick glass.
You'll want to make several trips down the warm Tropical River, drifting in the slight current, under waterfalls, and through an underwater cave. The river also takes you through the Aviary, where you can hop out of the water and interact with over 250 exotic birds, none of which are caged. Having a toucan land on your arm is an interesting experience. Discovery Cove's beach is a great feature as well. Along
the huge expanse of white, sugary sand, you'll find hammocks, umbrellas, and cabanas for your use. When all the swimming and snorkeling leaves you exhausted, grab a beach lounger and have a nap.
To avoid disappointment, reservations are a must!

KAY BOYLE'S MAN RAY, AND MINE (Part 2)
Jay Martin
With a little help from Kay Boyle, I had come to Paris to talk to Man Ray about his old friend, Henry Miller. Ray's memories of the times they had spent together would enrich the biography of Miller I was writing. But after Man and his wife, Juliet, greeted me in the rue Férou, and we sat down in their wonderful studio-home there to talk, I found that I, not Man, was the one being interviewed.
Whom had I already seen in Paris?
"Raymond Queneau in his office at Gallimard," I said.
Yes, good, and who else?
"Oh," Juliet responded, "the Paris photographer."
Yes, this Hungarian's photos of Paris scenes were exhibited on every newsstand and bouquiniste along the quais.
Meanwhile, Juliet's husband understood that, as important as Queneau's surrealist writing might be, my crowning conversation would, of course, be the one with Man Ray.
So, he switched the topic to himself. "My photograph of Duchamp's 'Big Glass,'" he said, "is one of my best-known unconscious creations. But all of my creations are unconscious. I just let things happen, you know. So with the 'Bride,' I set up the camera to take a photo of it, and then Marcel wanted to go to dinner, and I forgot—or my unconscious remembered the opposite of what I intended—I didn't close the shutter, and when we came back, there was the plate for the picture. It was chance, but not chance. I rely for everything on my unconscious. The picture was a perfect representation of moving dust. 'Raising Dust,' as Marcel called it."
Minutes later he came back to another of the glass-plate constructions that he and Duchamp built together. When a belt in one of them broke, a piece of glass spun from it and almost took Ray's head off.
The conversation turned back to Miller.
"So you've talked to Henry in California," Ray sort of asked.
Before I could answer, Juliet sighed. "How I long for California's warmth sometimes when it's freezing here."
Man brushed her comment aside, thinking his own thoughts, which weren't at all concerned with warmth. "What are you writing about him?" he asked me. "Henry has told his own story, the story of his life, in countless books, hasn't he?"
"What you say," I admitted, "is also Henry's point of view. What he's written about himself is what should count—the intentions, not the actualities. It's precious to him, and I understand that. His books, he's always said, are his life, an idea he got from Walt Whitman. He even told Edmund Wilson, who praised his 'novels,' 'I don't write novels, I write about myself.' I'd call his works 'autobiographical romances; part life, part romance. So I see his point."
"So then?"
"But I don't agree with him. For instance, he has never written about you. Aren't you part of his life too, even if he left you out of his 'life' in his books?"
Shamefully, I realize this last comment was an appeal to Ray's ego. He said nothing, however, only nodded his head.
"Yes," I continued, "his life has been fabulous. In the UCLA Special Collections there are many thousands of letters to him expressing gratitude for the sexual—and also the spiritual—revolution he's prompted in the lives of countless ordinary people. But, as I've said, there's much about his life he hasn't written. These are equally worthy of interest, and only his biographer can recreate them. Biographies are about creativity, how a writer or artist turns a sometimes messy existence, or a simple experience, into something sharpened and formed that can last. Biography is the re-invention of a life."
I looked at Man. "You do that all he time, don't you? Making violins or scales or doorbells into something with a different meaning, objects that last. Here I am asking about Miller as you saw him. I'm reading his manuscripts and talking to his friends. Maybe, putting all this together will help us understand how creativity happens. We go behind the curtain to see the process of invention."
I see now that this last conceit of mine probably came unconsciously from the curtains at the far end of Ray's room. The biographer always wants to get at the hidden. "The biographer's madness," I said, is to uncover all the secrets, to draw the curtain open upon the unseen."
"But this curiosity?" said Juliet. "Aren't some things best left hidden?"
"Probably," I said. "But Henry has written such fabulous stories about 'himself,' isn't it worth knowing the real—often mundane—people on whom his stories are based, to see how he remade them? Did he really work as a Personnel Director for Western Union, or did he invent the Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company?"
"You're a detective," Juliet said. "Yes, I see how fascinating it could be."
A little later, after all this defensiveness on my part, I admitted that Henry had many more doubts about my book than they did. "He called me his 'greatest enemy,'" I told them.
"Yes, I know what you mean," Man said. "I'm an outlaw too."
They asked me if I'd seen the photos that Man took in the 1940s, during the war, when Man and Juliet lived in Hollywood. I told him, yes, his photos of Miller were well known, adding that I had walked Bunker Hill, where they were taken, looking back beyond the present to see what it must have been like when Miller lived there.
Man said, "That one Miller photo, with a very German, very bourgeois Henry with a nude girl hovering over him in a papier-mâché mask—that was Margaret Nieman. A lovely, beautiful human. I liked her. Both she and her husband, Gilbert, were friends I met in Los Angeles. I actually met them first, before Henry. Later they told me that their friend Henry Miller wanted to meet me. I read one of his books, and so I told them to bring him around. Do you know the photo I made of Margaret and Juliet, both wearing masks I made for them, both beautiful? Isn't it so, Juliet?"
But Man didn't pause for an answer. He was talking now. We listened.
"You two girls looked stunning, dancing around the room together, nearly nude."
"You'd suggested it," said Juliet. "It excited you."
"The sexual—yes, yes. But remember I first attended to business. I got the camera out and set it up. I got the pictures." He reminisced. "I liked the Niemans a lot. I always thought Gilbert would write a great book. But I think he never did, did he?"
I said, "He didn't do the work that many people thought he had in him."
"There was that one marvelous book he wrote," Ray said, "something about a tyrant in every country. But nothing else. Too bad. An artist can't stop. He must keep creating. I've always done that."
The conversation turned to the work of Man Ray. (Had we ever really left the subject?) He declared himself to be "an artist who was not an artist." Especially, he said, because he wandered from one style to another, he couldn't be pinned down—this, he insisted, was his great innovative talent. He refused to conform, had never conformed, all his life. But the commercially-minded American critics treated him badly because he didn't produce the same sort of work over and over again. He was always ahead of the crowd.
"My present work," he said, "is always advanced. It does not resemble any previous work. The critics have a problem when they can't immediately identify a 'Man Ray.' Because I'm always changing. It's always a new 'Man Ray.'
"For instance," he said, "I'm showing in Rotterdam next year, and now I'm gathering the pieces for it."
"New works?" I asked, just to keep him going. But he didn't need my help, and he surprised me.
"No, no new works. Privately, I call all my exhibitions 'retrospectives.' I never show any works until they're about ten years old. They'd be too advanced for the public, or the curators and critics. They wouldn't appreciate them. These lazy dummies need about ten years to catch up to where I've already been."
Briefly he paused as if deciding something. "I'm writing a foreword for the Rotterdam catalogue," he said, "to explain my position up front. Would you like to hear it?"
"Very much," I replied.
Juliet went to a cabinet and brought back a sheaf of papers.
"This is a first draft, unrevised," he said (probably expecting the academic response of a tedious "professor").
"This show," it said,
is not addressed to the masses or even to a select few, but only
to one individual, to each one who as an individual looks at my
work. I do not wish to think beyond one person at a time. Each
individual must view my work with mutual confidence, one
person to another.
I felt, yes, he never wavers from the idea that one's art "selects" each individual who sees it. But I didn't, for the moment, know what to say, more intrigued by what strange wonders he might be producing here and now.
Before I gathered my thoughts, though, he announced: "I'm going to take a nap, and you'll probably be gone by the time I wake up. So I'll say goodbye now. Give my regards to Henry."
He pivoted and headed toward the curtain, with one friendly salute in our direction before he disappeared. Just like that.
He was about eighty, I knew that. And we'd had a fresh Vouvray with our plain omelette and salad at lunch. He had stayed up a little late for our talk, probably out of kindness to me. After all, he was a polite American.
Juliet, who'd gone with him, then came back to me. I said to her, "Let me help you clean up." She let me go only far enough toward the kitchen to help carry a few dishes, which she took from me and went in.
Then she reappeared quickly and asked, "Would you like to see the new work?"
I was stunned. Somehow, without realizing it, I had yielded to Man's view of the utter inaccessibility of his newest work --to ordinary mortals. Juliet's simple question came unexpectedly. I barely managed to breathe out, "Yes."
Then I thought I might be violating Man's hospitality and kindness, transgressing his rule that work so astonishing should not be seen for a decade.
Juliet, however, was already walking toward the curtained shelves against the wall, I following behind her like a puppy.
"Are they very new, very different?" I asked, before the curtains were pulled aside. I tried not to seem stupid, about to confront unimaginable experiments by this great innovator —to see one more leap of art history before almost anyone else had had a chance to. I had thoroughly absorbed Man's personal myth --that everything he touched was new, and unprecedented.
"Oh," said Juliet lightly, but with a shade of secrecy, "perhaps not so 'very.' Actually they're like the old ones."
After all these years, it's the centerpiece of my remembrance of that day—"Oh, actually they're like the old ones."
She uncovered a piece. "Here is a portrait, an 'autoportrait' he did. We stood before a collage in plexiglass. It had a bell button and doorbells, and between them the inked impression of a left hand. On each side toward the bottom, drawn gracefully in ink, was a violin f-hole.
"His hand, of course," she said. "No other hand exactly like it in the world."
Foolishly I felt challenged to say something profound: "His individual being, like no one else's."
Silence would have been better.
Looking at this "autoportrait," I thought of perhaps Man's most famous photo, "La Violon d'Ingres," the one that modernizes Ingres' "Le Bain Turc." I also thought about the Mafia's "black hand," which warned of danger when Man was a boy. If that hand was an allusion to the Mafia, I thought, Man was probably implying, 'I'm a gangster, a creative outlaw, a rough guy in the art world. Beware of ringing my bell and coming face to face with me.' But I thought better of it now, and said nothing.
It was the first moment I realized that Juliet was also a recreator. She kept her own counsel until the moment came when she could express her astonishing assessment.
Juliet was right. Not only did the new works accord with the old, several of the pieces she showed me were actually reenactments of works he had done long before. Two bronze constructivist sculptures had first been executed fifty years earlier. Several other re-doings were so old they would have been forgotten long ago by the public and critics, and remembered only by Man Ray devotees. Even the priapic paperweight now sitting here as small sculpture had once appeared mounted on the pedestal of Saint-Sulpice in his mocking photograph.
These once-done objects were really new after all, now twice done and made new again for the upcoming Rotterdam show. There were also a few pieces, Juliet told me, that had actually been done ten years before, such as the blue baguette. I guess he thought the public was ready for them now. But among these re-creations—which were, for him, recreations—there were also, indeed, some new pieces, such as his scale for weighing feathers, or the gold and lapis pendant made for Juliet only weeks before.
"Would that piece go in the show?" I wondered aloud.
"Nothing he makes is ever left unused," she said. "There'll be several examples made of it—one for the show, some for his dealer in Milan, and one for me. This one is for me."
So the old things were, after all, new ones, even as the new ones were "like" the old ones. For Man, it seemed, time didn't really exist. Or, he made his own time. Happening was all.
This day, he and Juliet had recreated themselves for me.
And when I left rue Férou, the sky was piercingly bright, the doors of all the shops were opened wide. There, in the dusty square, the old and worn had become fresh. Even the old church of Saint-Sulpice was bold and elegant. It had been an astonishing day.
I realized that after all we had spoken very little about Henry Miller, the purpose of my visit. But I liked that. My "plan" for the day had been disarranged and rearranged by the great reconstructor, Man Ray. I didn't really get a workaday interview, but instead (and far better) a complete and perfect performance of one more piece of Man Ray's uncanny art.
