Since 1980, muscle-bound and tattoo-laden Henry Rollins has taken his status as one of the most distinctive frontmen in alternative rock and parlayed it into a career as a Gen-X Renaissance man, gaining notice as an actor, author, publisher, performance artist, record company executive, and commercial spokesman.
Henry Rollins was born Henry Garfield on February 13, 1961, in Washington, D.C. ("Rollins" was a name he used as a joke in high school; it was taken from a friend's T-shirt ). As a teenager, Garfield developed a passionate interest in rock music at its most intense, and while in high school, he formed his first band, a hardcore punk outfit called S.O.A. (aka State of Alert), who released an EP in 1980. Henry was a passionate fan of the pioneering Los Angeles punk band Black Flag, and when Black Flag's vocalist Dez Cadena decided to step down as singer in 1981, the group's guitarist and leader Greg Ginn invited the newly renamed Henry Rollins to join. Black Flag became one of the hardest-working punk bands in America, constantly touring the United States and releasing eight albums and a handful of singles and EPs before calling it a day in 1986.
During his tenure with Black Flag, Rollins developed an interest in writing and began publishing fiction, opinion pieces, and stream-of-consciousness rants in a number of magazines and rock journals, as well as distributing his own chapbooks through Black Flag's record label, SST. Rollins also began performing spoken-word shows of his material, as well as staging confrontational "performance art" events with Lydia Lunch. After Black Flag's breakup, Rollins formed a new group simply known as the Rollins Band and began touring heavily, recording with only slightly less frequency than Black Flag. Rollins continued to write and publish regularly and performed frequently as a spoken-word act, becoming one of the most recognizable figures in alternative rock circles.
In 1991, Rollins signed with a major label, Imago Records, and toured as part of the first Lollapalooza Festival; Rollins had now won a wider audience than ever before, and he seemed determined to make the most of his new visibility. Rollins launched a publishing company, 2.13.61, which distributed his own work as well as books by fellow rockers-turned-authors Nick Cave and Jeffrey Lee Pierce and iconoclastic authors such as Hubert Selby Jr. and Bill Shields. Rollins later expanded 2.13.61 into a record label, as well as co-founded the reissue label Infinite Zero with producer Rick Rubin. While Rollins appeared in experimental films as early as 1985, his new level of visibility brought Hollywood calling, and in 1994 Rollins appeared in both the independent vampire story Jugular Wine and the action-comedy The Chase, in which he played a highway patrolman. 1995 found Rollins playing a scientist in the cyberpunk thriller Johnny Mnemonic and a brutal prison guard in David Lynch's Lost Highway, and from that point on Rollins began appearing in a variety of character roles when he wasn't occupied with his musical or literary activities. Rollins usually portrayed physically imposing and emotionally intense gentlemen, ranging from an escaped convict in Morgan's Ferry to a children's hockey coach in Jack Frost. A number of Rollins' spoken-word shows have also been released on home video, including Talking From the Box and You Saw Me Up There, and in 2000 Rollins signed on as the host and narrator of the television anthology series Night Visions, though as of this writing the series has yet to find a network.

The route looping round to Abakan from Tuva via Askiz is scenically varied, often beautiful and mesmerisingly vast in scale, though the Chinggis Khaan stone near Ak-Dovurak is virtually the only real 'sight'. While independent travel is feasible, you'll see a lot more in Tuva's west in the company of a local or a guide hired in Kyzyl. The Sayan Ring agency in Krasnoyarsk come this way

Jazzed Up Beans & Weiners with Fried Potatoes
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 4 hrs
This is a simple, no fuss meal that starts with inexpensive, commonly found ingredients. This dish is popular with kids, and yet it satisfies the "meat and potatoes" man. You can also use canned sliced potatoes, which cuts down the cooking time quite considerably, but I prefer to use fresh. Make extra potatoes to heat up for breakfast with your eggs...yummy!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 10 -12 potatoes, peeled and sliced into coins
- 1 small onion, sliced into rings,and seperated
- 4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 (15 ounce) cans pork and beans
- 1⁄4 cup ketchup
- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1⁄4 cup chopped onion
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 5 -6 hot dogs, sliced into coins
- In electric skillet or large frying pan, melt butter and add onions.
- Add potatoes and seasonings, and combine well.
- Cover, and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours, turning occasionally.
- In medium saucepan, combine beans, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, onion, salt and peppper, and sliced hot dogs.
- Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 min.
- ,or until heated through.
Most Helpful
This is a pretty good dish but my potatoes burned--so they must be watched very carefully--maybe they need more butter so they won't burn so easily. However we liked the beans & franks part of this recipe very much even though I used 8 hotdogs (the whole package) instead of the amount specified. We had this dish with brown bread and Aunt Emma's Bread Pudding Aunt Emma's Bread Pudding for a great old-fashioned Friday night supper that we all enjoyed.
I agree with Manda, inexpensive ingredients all commonly found in the kitchen. I thought both dishes delivered as best they could given that they are what they are ~ simple dishes. The next day my folks were looking for the leftovers. What !!! None left !!! I rest my case, enjoy ...
I haven't tried this yet, but I have tried my version, which is like yours and it is a great inexpensive dinner and so easy and tasty. I don't do dairy so I don't use butter for the potatoes. But I also add sweet corn bread squares and what a meal! Thanks.

As the Western U.S. becomes more settled, and new communities are forged from the wilderness, an age-old battle intensifies. Wildfires that used to burn through remote and desolate areas now threaten to claim lives and buildings, and more and more of these deadly fires are caused by human carelessness. Join the elite group of firefighters known as the "Hotshots" who risk their lives to control the annual fires that blaze across the West. Follow them through the rigorous training process and learn of the extraordinary measures they employ to fight the flames that erupt far beyond the reach of conventional firefighters. Amazing footage from some of the worst forest fires in history shows the Hotshots in action, as smokejumpers, tanker pilots and support crews risk their lives in the face of the inferno. It's a blistering journey into hell on earth.

Plasma Concentrations and Genetic Variation of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 and Prognosis of Patients With Cardiovascular Disease
Jump to
Background— Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 secretion by macrophages and other inflammatory cells accelerates atherosclerotic progression and destabilizes vulnerable plaque in animal models. However, epidemiological data evaluating the prognostic impact of circulating concentrations and functional genetic variations of MMP-9 are lacking.
Methods and Results— In a prospective study of 1127 patients with documented coronary artery disease, we measured baseline plasma MMP-9 levels and determined the MMP-9/C-1562T and MMP-9/R279Q genotypes. During the follow-up period (mean of 4.1 years), 97 patients died from cardiovascular (CV) causes. Median concentrations of MMP-9 were significantly higher among patients who experienced a fatal CV event than among those who did not (62.2 versus 47.8 ng/mL; P<0.0001). The crude hazard risk ratio of CV death associated with increasing quartiles of MMP-9 was 1.4 (95% CI, 1.2 to 1.8; P<0.0001), and after adjustment for clinical and therapeutic confounders, it was 1.3 (95% CI, 1.1 to 1.6; P=0.005). Additional adjustment for highly sensitive CRP, interleukin-6, fibrinogen, and interleukin-18 revealed a hazard risk ratio to 1.2 (95% CI, 0.9 to 1.6; P=0.15). The T allele of the C-1562T polymorphism was associated with increased MMP-9 levels in a fairly codominant fashion (P=0.004). Although none of the polymorphisms was significantly related with future CV death, there was a significant association (P=0.02) between the R279Q polymorphism and CV events in patients with stable angina.
Conclusions— Plasma MMP-9 concentration was identified as a novel predictor of CV mortality in patients with coronary artery disease. Whether it provides independent prognostic information compared with other inflammatory markers will have to be additionally assessed.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) form a family of zinc-dependent enzymes with proteolytic activity against connective tissue proteins such as collagen, proteoglycans, and elastin.1 Increased expression and activity of MMPs have been identified in various pathological processes, such as general inflammation, tumor metastasis, respiratory diseases, myocardial injury, vascular aneurysms, and remodeling.2 Because of their major significance in vascular remodeling, MMPs are suspected to play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular (CV) diseases, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis.3 MMPs have been identified in human atherosclerotic plaque shoulders and regions of foam cell accumulation and may thus contribute to plaque vulnerability4,5 as well as de novo atherosclerotic remodeling.6 Moreover, human monocyte-derived macrophages, which harbor MMPs, have been shown to induce collagen breakdown in fibrous caps,7 and recently collagen breakdown and increased plaque vulnerability have been attributed to increased MMP-8 activity.8
MMP-9, also known as gelatinase B or 92-kDa type IV collagenase, is one of the MMPs found to be highly expressed in the vulnerable regions of atherosclerotic plaques, and for this reason it has been suggested to be causally involved in the remodeling processes associated with atherogenesis and plaque rupture.3–5,9 The hypothesis of a causal role of MMP-9 in CV diseases is supported by genetic studies showing that functional promoter variations of the MMP-9 gene were related to presence and severity of CV diseases.10–12 On the other hand, little is known about the clinical significance of circulating MMP-9 in CV diseases. Elevated levels of MMP-9 have been reported in patients with unstable angina.13 However, prospective data on the impact of MMP-9 plasma levels on future CV prognosis are lacking.
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether plasma MMP-9 concentrations and genetic variations of the MMP-9 gene might constitute risk markers for future CV death in a large cohort of patients with angiographically proven coronary artery disease (CAD). We focused the genetic study on two polymorphisms of special interest: the MMP-9/C-1562T promoter polymorphism, which influences the transcriptional activity, and the exonic MMP-9/R279Q polymorphism, which leads to an amino acid exchange in the catalytic domain of the MMP-9 enzyme.14
Study Population
Between November 1996 and June 2000, 1127 patients with stable (n=795) or unstable (n=332) angina who presented at the Department of Medicine II of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz or the Bundeswehrzentralkrankenhaus Koblenz with at least 1 stenosis >30% diagnosed in a major coronary artery were enrolled in a CV registry entitled the AtheroGene Study. The study has been described in detail elsewhere.15
Among the 1127 patients, 1122 (99.6%) were followed for a median of 4.1 (maximum, 5.2) years. Follow-up information was obtained about death from CV causes (n=97), death from causes not related to heart disease (n=26), and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) (n=41). Information about the cause of death or clinical events was obtained from hospital or general practitioner charts.
Study participants were of German nationality. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the University of Mainz. Participation was voluntary, and each study subject gave written informed consent.
Laboratory Methods
Blood was drawn under standardized conditions before coronary angiography and stored at −80°C. Plasma MMP-9 concentrations were measured using a commercially available enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (Fuji Chemicals, Co, Tokyo, Japan). Coefficients of variations ranged from 3% to 12%, and repeat determinations on the same plasma sample were highly correlated (r=0.98). C-reactive protein was determined by a highly sensitive (hs), latex particle-enhanced immunoassay (detection range of 0 to 20 mg/L, Roche Diagnostics), and interleukin (IL)-6 (EASIA, Biosource Europe) and IL-18 (MBL Co, Ltd) were determined by commercially EIA. Fibrinogen was determined by derived method, and troponin I by an immunoassay (DADE Behring, Germany). Lipid serum levels were measured immediately. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. Primers and polymerase chain reaction conditions for genotyping are described elsewhere.14
Statistical Methods
Mean levels of variables were compared across quartiles of MMP-9 levels by ANOVA for continuous variables and χ2 test for categorical variables. Variables with a skewed distribution, including MMP-9 level, were log-transformed. The association between MMP-9 genotype and plasma MMP-9 concentrations was investigated by ANOVA adjusted for relevant covariables. The cumulative survival plots by MMP-9 quartile were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. In all survival analyses, the end point was CV death, and data on patients who died from other causes were censored at the time of death. Hazard risk ratios (HRRs) for future CV death according to MMP-9 quartiles or MMP-9 genotype were estimated by Cox regression models adjusted for potential confounders. A secondary combined end point was also considered, including CV death and nonfatal MI. In analyses comparing different inflammatory markers, each marker was considered in quartiles and analyzed as an ordinal variable. P<0.05 was considered to be significant. All computations were carried out with SPSS, version 10.07.
Baseline Characteristics of the Study Population According to MMP-9 Quartiles
Table 1 demonstrates patients' characteristics according to quartiles of MMP-9 levels. The median MMP-9 level was 49.2 ng/mL (interquartile interval of 33.4 to 71.6 ng/mL). History of smoking and previous MI were strongly associated with elevated levels of MMP-9, whereas statin intake was related to lower MMP-9 levels (median, 42.5 versus 52.4 ng/mL; P<0.0001). MMP-9 did not correlate with lipid concentrations except modestly with HDL cholesterol (r=−0.15). It also correlated with acute-phase reactants (r=0.25 for IL-6, r=0.29 for hs-CRP, and r=0.26 for fibrinogen). By contrast, only a weak correlation was observed between MMP-9 and IL-18 levels (r=0.08).
Plasma MMP-9 Concentrations and Future Cardiovascular Death
Median plasma concentrations of MMP-9 at baseline were significantly higher among patients who subsequently experienced a fatal CV event during follow-up compared with those who did not (62.2 versus 47.8 ng/mL; P<0.0001). Patients in the highest quartile of MMP-9 concentration had the highest probability of CV death during the follow-up period (Figure 1). After adjustment for most potential clinical and therapeutic variables, MMP-9 remained independently associated with future CV death. Additional adjustment on ejection fraction (EF) hardly modified the association, even though the significance of the test was lower because of missing EF values in 158 patients. Exclusion of the 331 patients with acute coronary syndrome did not alter the relationship between MMP-9 levels and CV mortality (Table 2).
We additionally evaluated the predictive value of MMP-9 levels in the context of other inflammatory predictors, including hs-CRP, fibrinogen, IL-6, and IL-18 (Figure 2). When considered separately, all inflammatory markers, except hs-CRP, were significantly associated with CV mortality. In a multivariate analysis including all 5 markers simultaneously, MMP-9 remained significantly associated with outcome (P=0.04), together with fibrinogen (P=0.03) and IL-18 (P<0.0001). When additionally adjusting for all potential confounders and inflammatory markers, the HRR of MMP-9 was 1.22 (95% CI, 0.93 to 1.59; P=0.15), the only remaining significant predictor being IL-18 (HRR 1.79; 95% CI, 1.34 to 2.38; P<0.0001). However, because MMP-9, hs-CRP, fibrinogen, and IL-6 exhibited relatively strong correlations with one another, simultaneous inclusion of these 4 markers in the same model might mask their role by inflating the parameter variances. Therefore, we investigated the role of MMP-9 after controlling for IL-18 alone. Figure 3 shows the proportion of future CV deaths in patients classified according to the medians of MMP-9 and IL-18. Whatever the level of IL-18 (below or above the median), the proportion of CV events was approximately doubled in patients above the median of MMP-9 compared with those below, indicating a strong effect of MMP-9 independent of IL-18.
Patients who experienced a nonfatal MI during follow-up had elevated MMP-9 levels at baseline compared with patients free of event (median, 54.4 versus 47.5 ng/mL), but this difference did not reach significance, probably because of the low number of nonfatal MIs (n=41). When considering the combined end point including CV deaths and nonfatal MI, the unadjusted HRR associated with increasing MMP-9 quartiles was estimated as 1.30 (95% CI, 1.11 to 1.52; P<0.002).
Association Between MMP-9 Genotypes and Plasma MMP-9 Concentrations
Genotype distribution for the C-1562T and the R279Q polymorphisms were compatible with Hardy-Weinberg expectations, and allele frequencies were estimated as 0.13±0.01 for the −1562T allele and 0.35±0.01 for the 279Q allele. These frequencies were similar to those previously reported in a population from the United Kingdom.14 Both polymorphisms were in strong linkage disequilibrium (D′=+0.9, P<0.0001), the −1562T and 279Q allele being preferentially associated. The two polymorphisms were associated with MMP-9 plasma levels in a fairly codominant fashion, the rare allele of each polymorphism being associated with increased MMP-9 levels (Table 3). Exclusion of patients with unstable angina even strengthened the association. Because of the strong linkage disequilibrium between the two polymorphisms, we tested whether each of them had an independent effect on phenotype. This analysis revealed that only the C-1562T polymorphism had an effect on MMP-9 levels, the association with the R279Q polymorphism being a consequence of its disequilibrium with the promoter polymorphism.
MMP-9 Genotype and Future Cardiovascular Event
Neither of the two MMP-9 polymorphisms was significantly associated with future CV mortality. However, when considering the combined end point including CV death and nonfatal MI, the association of the R279Q polymorphism with this combined end point reached significance (P=0.02) in the subgroup of patients with stable angina, patients carrying the 279Q allele having a higher risk than patients homozygous for the 279R allele (Table 4).
This study evaluated prospectively for the first time the predictive value of circulating levels and genetic variation of MMP-9 on future CV mortality in a large cohort of patients with CAD. Besides identifying the main correlates of MMP-9 levels like statin therapy and smoking, we demonstrated a strong association between baseline MMP-9 levels and future risk of CV death. This association was present in all subgroups evaluated across the entire spectrum of patients with CAD and persisted after adjustment for main clinical and therapeutic confounders.
A growing number of new inflammatory biomarkers of atherosclerosis has been identified in the past few years, including hs-CRP,16,17 soluble adhesion molecules,18 IL-6,19 tumor necrosis factor-α,20 and IL-18.21 The present study suggests that MMP-9 might constitute a novel prognostic biomarker for characterizing individuals at higher CV risk. We also showed that MMP-9 correlated with acute-phase reactants, and for this reason it was difficult to disentangle the role of each marker when including all of the markers in the same model. However, this does not preclude that MMP-9 could have its own pathophysiological significance, as strongly suggested by experimental studies.3–5,9 In the context of all these new inflammatory markers emerging as potential clinical tools, some of them being highly correlated and reflecting common biological pathways, it would be of greatest interest to evaluate which are likely to provide the most useful prognostic information. Additional large prospective studies established in various clinical settings are required to perform such a comparative analysis.
In contrast with acute-phase reactants, MMP-9 levels only weakly correlated with IL-18 levels, and the predictive value of MMP-9 was shown to be independent of that of IL-18, one of the strongest inflammatory predictors of CV risk identified so far. However, combined determination of MMP-9 and IL-18 identifies patients being at very high risk. This is in accordance with experimental work that demonstrates that IL-18, in synergy with IL-12, induces expression of MMP-1, MMP-13, and mainly MMP-9 on endothelial and smooth muscle cells as well as macrophages.22 Evaluating both parts of the pathway seems superior to the determination of one single biomarker alone.
The predominant sources of MMP-9 detected in the circulation are unknown. MMP-9 is expressed in atherosclerotic plaques at multiple sites within the vascular tree, and circulating concentrations may reflect vessel wall expression. Because the inflammatory process is not confined to a single vulnerable plaque but rather appears more widespread in the coronary vessel tree,23 circulating levels of MMP-9 are unlikely to derive from one special vulnerable plaque area. Second, MMP-9 might be released by circulating neutrophils and monocytes as a consequence of a general proinflammatory state. Third, the role of MMPs in myocardial matrix remodeling suggests that MMP-9 might in part derive from the myocardium itself.2
An elegant way to examine whether an association might be causal is to evaluate the impact of functional variations in the gene encoding the candidate protein. Several polymorphisms have been detected in the MMP-9 gene,14 among which the C-1562T polymorphism was shown to influence gene expression.10 In accordance with the increased activity of the −1562T allele, we found that this allele was associated with elevated MMP-9 plasma concentrations. By contrast, the R279Q polymorphism had no direct effect on plasma levels but was associated with future CV event in patients with stable angina. The R279Q polymorphism is located in the catalytic domain of the MMP-9 enzyme encoding the sequence required for binding of the enzyme to its substrate elastin.24 An amino acid exchange in this region of the gene might affect the binding capacities of the protein to its substrate and have functional consequences on the process of vascular remodeling and plaque destabilization. MMP-9 might therefore act both as a circulating biomarker reflecting a proinflammatory state associated with a poorer survival and as a causative agent having a local effect on plaque destabilization.
Some limitations of our study merit consideration. First, measurements of MMP-9 were performed only at one time, hence changes during follow-up were not measured. Second, measurement of MMP-9 concentrations was performed on samples that were stored at −80°C. We therefore cannot exclude the possibility of protein degradation. However, because all samples were handled identically, this should not affect the difference between cases and controls.
In conclusion, plasma MMP-9 concentration was identified as a novel risk marker of future CV mortality in a large cohort of patients with CAD independently of main clinical and therapeutic confounders. Whether MMP-9 might provide additional information over other newly identified inflammatory markers will have to be assessed in additional studies. Furthermore, the MMP-9/R279Q polymorphism was related to future CV event in patients with stable angina, suggesting that MMP-9 may be causally involved in the atherogenic process.

Additional Notes
Complaint: I paid $370.61 to Hands On Auto Tech on February 14, 2015, to repair my wife's broken power window in her car. The window that needed repair was on the driver's side in the back seat. ***, the owner, replaced the motor and hardware for the power window, but it did not fix the problem. He told me he learned that the master switch in these vehicles can easily go bad, but he didn't discover this until after he replaced the window motor. Regardless, he said the window motor had to be replaced because it was broken. I don't believe that claim. Before bringing the car for repair, the rear window did move a little. This shows that the power window motor wasn't necessarily bad. It shows that the master switch was probably bad. I feel he did not diagnose the power window issue correctly. This cost me a lot of money and my wife's car still has a window that doesn't work.
Desired Settlement: Refund $370.61 to me or my wife.
Business Response: If the costomer would like we will repair the window to good working order for him at no further charge to him.

Could be soon.But ya just never know if an announcement or two like a new JV partner in Texas or the sale of the Rockies assets and BOOM this issue rockets up to $3.00 or so a share more in line with the valuation of prime Texas Barnett Shale Tier 2 real estate. Just an opinion.Good Luck,Bob
Are the prime Barnett Shale lease terms "suspended" until Stan repairs his boat? How much actual acreage is HBP? How much value does an IFNY lease with say 5 months left on it have? The range evidently runs between 0 and $3,000/acre. Would midpoint be a fair guess?
[How much value does an IFNY lease with say 5 months left on it have? ]That is totally dependent on who is looking at the lease. If it is someone with a rig available and a high interest in the lease then it could be a considerable sum. OTOH, if few are interested and rigs are tight, and the lessor hasn't indicated a willingness to renew a lease, it could be worth very little.[The range evidently runs between 0 and $3,000/acre. Would midpoint be a fair guess? ]The only way that any price even remotely close to the midpoint would ever be doable, IMO, is if it includes all of the existing assets as well. And even at that someone would be offering a premium. Lets face it, production from this part of Erath hasn't been very good. Sure there is a well or two that look decent, but as a whole it hasn't worked the way that Stan and Co had envisioned. So, if they haven't already extended some of their key leases, if they haven't already secured a JV partner, then their best bet may be to just put the production up for sale to the highest bidder and move on down the road with whatever they have left. They aren't doing shareholders any service continuing the way they have been going. All JMO.
Boob .... No one but you and your aliases oregano and elmo would be a buyer of this mis-managed company until they prove up the BS and show investors results. Wall Street is quite disappointed with the results posted so far and if things don't change, there will be some massive dumping comming soon, just before they reach BK status!Telling it like it is ...... stanthea$$

"Having moved to New York City 22 years ago, I am always inspired by the diversity of the people, the art, fashion and the high energy of each day in the city.
The greatest way to start the day is to take an early morning walk in Central Park when the sunlight breaks through. Then grab a nice breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien to prepare you for the high energy day. Stroll down Madison Avenue, let your eyes feast on the fashion boutiques and then head down to the Lower East Side or maybe the West Village to experience fashion and style. End up in one of my favorite places, Da Silvano or Giorgione for the best Italian food with a fun vibe and amazing flavors. From time to time, I love to experience the top restaurant, Le Bernardin or Morimoto to bring a multitude of feelings to my taste buds. This makes it the perfect day and it always drives me to keep my Hair Salons A.K.S at the ... [more]

Yorkville is the slightly lackluster residential neighborhood, formerly of the working class. At this point with Manhattan real estate what it is, the working class bus themselves in from the outer boroughs and neighboring states. The area runs from 79th to 96th Street east of Third Avenue. Here you will find the practical and mundane: high-rise housing, dry cleaners, supermarkets, drug stores, and video rental shops. You will also find the little gem: Gracie Mansion, the official home of the mayor of New York--though not our current mayor who maintains his own larger jewel further southwest.

Roses Delivery
The Generous Gardener - Shady Areas - Specific Situations
'Always Remember Me' Hybrid Tea Rose
Rosa Munstead Wood ('Ausbernard') (PBR) - Richly coloured, many-petalled, cup-shaped flowers, that have a wonderfully fruity fragrance, form on this bushy shrub rose throughout the summer. The leaves emerge with a reddish-bronze flush before they turn mid-green, creating further interest in spring. An award-winning rose, which shows a good resistance to disease, this is a wonderful specimen for a rose garden or mixed border.
Clematis 'Princess Diana' clematis (group 3)
Getting a BF in order to have regular flower deliveries. @thecoveteur
Rosa Iceberg ('Korbin') - Justifiably popular, 'Iceberg' goes on flowering right through the summer. Clusters of pink buds open to double, slightly fragrant white flowers, 7cm across. It is disease-resistant and easy to grow. There is also a climbing variety. All our roses are grown in an open field and then dug up when the weather conditions are right in October or November.
Helleborus purpurascens - Often the first flowers can be seen low to the ground in December (usually before the new foliage appears), but they continue to open as the red-spotted stems grow, right through until early spring. A variable but very pretty deciduous clump-forming perennial that makes excellent groundcover in partial shade.
Just bought this beautiful Climbing Iceberg Rose to add to my collection. Vigorous grower!
Salvia nemorosa ''Sensation Rose' (Sensation Series)' - Throughout summer, spikes carry masses of rose pink flowers, each sitting within a deeper purplish-pink calyx. Their compact, tidy habit makes them ideal for containers and window boxes, as well as creating colourful drifts towards the front of a sunny border.

We didn't think a dog could duplicate Tim Howard's performance at the 2014 World Cup, but Purin the Super Beagle has succeeded.
Watch the pooch stop shot after shot. Sure, Purin lets a few go by, but how many goalkeepers do you know who are eager to fetch the balls afterward?
The dog has charmed the Internet with its soccer skills in the past but is showing more dedication in goal.
Keep up the hard work, Purin.

Our home is located in the heart of Historic Mystic between the Mystic Museum of Art and Captain Daniel Packer Inn and is within easy walking distance to all Downtown Mystic restaurants, shops and attractions.
Our historic 2-bedroom home offers both late 19th century charm and 21st century convenience. It is fully furnished and decorated with an eclectic collection of Americana, period pieces, folk art, curiosities and other items of local interest. The doors are a bit crooked, the floors slant and the glass in most of the windows is wavy. But you will also find an electronic entry system, High-speed internet access, Wi-Fi, HDTV and state-of the art heating and A/C.
On the main floor you will enjoy a fully appointed galley kitchen equipped with a range/oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and microwave oven. You will also find a coffee maker, toaster, pots, pans, dishes and cooking/eating utensils. There is generous seating in both the dining and living room areas together with remotely controlled lighting and ceiling fans.
Bedrooms and bathroom are located on the second floor where you will also find a cozy reading nook with its own great view of the Mystic River. Both bedrooms have queen size beds, a comfortable sitting area, dresser drawers with full size mirrors and plenty of closet space. Additional sleeping accommodation can also be found in the living room on a queen size sofa bed. The bathroom includes a full-size tub/shower combination and custom vanity/sink. Bedding, linens and bath towels are provided for the number of guests listed in your reservation.
There is a highchair in the kitchen, a Pack and Play crib in the rear bedroom, a crate of juvenile toys in the reading nook and plenty of books, books and more books.
The elevated front veranda offers an awesome view of the Mystic River and is a great place for people watching. There is a large rear deck with table, chairs and gas grill right at the foot of historic St. Jago Ledge if you prefer a more intimate setting.
We provide on-site parking for two vehicles or a vehicle with a modest boat trailer. There is a public boat launch less than a minute's walk from the front door and transient dockage at Downtown Mystic Marina directly across the street .
Mystic is a unique New England village straddling the Mystic River. The portion of the village on the right (west) bank was originally known as Mystic River and is part of the town of Groton CT. The left bank was originally known as Mystic Bridge and is a part of the town of Stonington CT. Downtown Mystic River is comprised of Water Street, West Main Street, Pearl Street and Gravel Street. East Main Street, Holmes Street and Cottrell Street make up the Mystic Bridge side of the village. Walking is the best way to get around downtown and all of downtown is within easy walking distance from our home. In season, day and dinner cruises aboard the Argia sailing ship along the river and around Fishers Island Sound are sure to make your Mystic visit a most memorable experience.
Whether you prefer walking, biking, water taxi or shuttle, you are only minutes away from restaurants, shopping, multi-denominational houses of worship, Mystic Seaport Museum and Mystic Aquarium.
It is a short drive to the historic fishing village of Stonington Borough home to Capt. Palmer discoverer of Antarctica, Fort Griswold Revolutionary War battle site on the Groton Bank, Fort Trumbull that fell to an assault instigated by Benedict Arnold, Submarine Museum home of the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear powered submarine and first submarine to navigate beneath the North Pole, Bluff Point State Park, Haley Farm State park, Barn Island Wildlife Preserve, Watch Hill RI and some of the best ocean beaches on the Atlantic coast. And yes, it is but a short drive to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos.
Our property is a short 5-minute drive from I-95 Exit 89. The route through downtown from Exit 90 will take a bit longer but is probably worth the extra time for a first time visitors eager to take a driving tour through our little village.
T.F. Green International (Providence/Warwick RI) is about a 45-minute drive;
Bradley International Airport (Hartford/Springfield) is approximately a 1hr 20m drive;
Logan International (Boston) is only a 2hr drive.
If you're coming by train to New London you'll have a 15-minute drive;
By train to Westerly RI it's about a 25-minute drive;
If you take the train to Mystic Depot you'll have a 10-minute walk from the depot to the property but it will undoubtedly take a bit longer as you take in the sites of this historic village.
Our stay in Mystic was made stress free because 26 Water St. was so comfortable. The beds were cozy, the water pressure and hot water were plentiful, the heating system was wonderful, it was totally clean and there was wifi. When we needed some extra blankets (because we prefer not to sleep with heaters on) the owners were there right away to supply them for us. Everything we needed was in the unit and it was in the heart of town. 5 stars!
We enjoyed our stay at this duplex for a short weekend trip to the Mystic area. The home is very old and has a lot of character. Bedrooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay - plenty of towels and linens and the kitchen was well stocked. The best part about this home is it's location in the heart of Mystic. Restaurants and shops are just a few steps away from the front door.
We stayed in Mystic for 4 days and this lovely historic home was everything we expected and hoped for. A charming, comfortable, clean and well-equipped home in a very convenient location. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds comfortable, the bathroom is updated and the A/C units are very efficient. The home is located in the heart of Mystic, so expect a little noise, especially on weekends. Everything is as described in the listing and Michael and his son were very accommodating and helpful.
We visited Mystic Seaport and enjoyed it very much. Chester and Essex are beautiful quaint little towns a short drive away and Gillette Castle is interesting as well. Restaurants we visited and liked: Rise (they opened recently, still a little unorganized, but good food), Sift Bakery and Kitchen Little on Mason Island for breakfast, the Tree House at Oyster Club, Ford's Lobster in Noank (great lobster rolls and much more) and Water Street Cafe in Stonington for dinner.
If you want to experience this beautiful town in a warm and welcoming historic home, I highly recommend Michael's property.
Two couples, two rooms, one bathroom! It all worked. The house was fantastic! Complimented it's origination of the 1800s Extremely clean and also was a fabulous location. We enjoyed not driving and walking our night time exertions. Home away and the owners made the rental process effortless.
Beautiful antique home! So much charm of yesteryear with the slanted wide pine floors and narrow staircase. Old New England charm decor all around. Yet the kitchen has a disposal and dishwasher and the bathroom has been updated. Home was spotless inside and had a plethora of wonderful books! Even for the kids as well as a few toys. Lovely back deck with grill to cook on. Property overlooks the bay from the front. Things were quiet at night. Aquarium and shops etc all a few minutes away by car. We went to Misquamiget Beach which was about a half hour drive. Owner was very nice and easy to get in touch with. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We enjoyed our two week stay here. Great location! We rarely used the car when sightseeing in Mystic. Lots of great restaurants and pubs close to the house!
The house has everything you need to stay in and cook including a barbecue on the back porch. Bathroom was modern and updated and the AC worked great!
The only negatives were no laundry room so we had to go to Groton twice to get that done, and not enough towels for our long two week stay.
The house is old and sagging throughout, so if you are looking for a high end or ultra modern home, this won't be for you. Lots of historic charm and a cute little reading nook.
There are several Mystic Community Bikes stations where you can borrow bicycles for you entire group on a daily basis free of charge. You will get a helmet, lock and guide map. There are many great bike routes to local attractions and several park and recreation areas.
Mystic Seaport Maritime Museum and Mystic Aquarium are within walking distance. You can also take the water taxi from downtown to the Seaport and back again. Downtown Mystic is only a 5 minute walk from the property.
Esker Point public beach is a 5-minute drive.
Misquamicut State Beach is located in Westerly RI and is an open ocean (Block Island Sound) beach and only a 30 minute drive. There is great scenery along the way and the ocean views are awsome. You can also visit Watch Hill and Napatree Point which are also located in Westerly RI.
Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos about a 30-minute drive.
