Hi girls, do i need to say how much i absolutely love this site? i hope not! :-) Dunno if you guys ever look at the logs (who logs on / off / IPs /etc) but if you do you'll notice I never ever log off lol .. that's how much i love it here :-) So keep up the fantastic work, we really appreciate it!!!!! :-)
Now here's my suggestion. Would it be possible, when we look up a product we already reviewed, to have an "update review" button available to us so we can click on that and update our review instead of having to find our review and update it?
I want to update my L'Oreal Intense Repair reviews ('cuz the shampoo mask are way BETTER than I had originally thought!). I was looking through the many reviews for my own review when I thought of this.
|Reading my mind! on Feb 24, 2012 @ 11:54 am
I was thinking about this yesterday... I wanted to add a bit to my comments about the Pulsonic.... because you know a product more the more you use it. I was just lazy to try to find my comment.... so I didn't add my 2 cents. Great suggestion!
|Will pass along! on Feb 24, 2012 @ 01:19 pm
You guys are absolutely right, this is a great idea! I will pass it along to the team :)
|Updating Reviews! on Feb 28, 2012 @ 11:13 am

If you're interested in learning more about the rich culture of ancient Hawaiians should make a day to visit the Big Island's Pu'uhonua 'O Hanaunau National Historical Park. The Historical Park covers 420 acres (1.7km2) of land surrounded by the white sand and blue waters of Honaunau Bay and Keone'ele Cove. The park itself is home to thousands of buildings, cultural artifacts, works of art and archeological sites that span over a period of more than 400 years. Self-guided tours, walking trails and daily ranger talks make it an excellent, and family friendly, place for a day-trip.
Pu'uhonua 'O Hanaunau, or "Place of Refuge," was a sacred place for ancient Hawaiians. Any individual who could make their way to Pu'uhonua and obtain absolution from a kahuna pule (priest), including kapu (sacred law) breakers, with be granted sanctuary from their pursuers—even if they had been sentenced to death. Surrounding the sanctuary is a tremendous "Great Wall." The L-shaped 965 foot long structure stands 12 feet tall and 18 feet wide, surrounding the majority of Pu'uhonua.
Not far from the sacred grounds of the sanctuary is a mile long trail that stretches along the coast, offering travelers a beautiful look at the Pacific Ocean, and leads to what remains of fishing and farming village named Ki'ilae Village. Ki'ilae was one of the few remaining villages where native Hawaiians practice traditional crafts and farming techniques, prior to European settlement on the islands. In the village visitors can see an array of traditionally-constructed homes, agricultural artifacts, animal pens and even salt vats.
This tremendous historical park is also home to an authentic reconstruction, called the Hale-o-Keawe Heiau Temple. Surrounding the building are enormous, hand-carved depictions of the gods, called Ki'i, that serve to protect and mark the Sacred Grounds of the temple. The structure was originally constructed in honor of Keawe'ikekahiali'i o kamoku, the great-grandfather of Ancient Hawaiian King Kamehameha I. Since being built, the Heiau has become the final resting place for the remains of Kona's nobility, housing the bones of 23 ali'i (chiefs); the spiritual power of these chiefs was believed to grant the area its spiritual and sacred power. In 1818, the son of King Kamehameha I became the last individual to be buried in Hale-o-Keawe Heiau.
The park's visitor center opens their doors at 8:30 am every morning and remains open to visitors until 4:30 pm. Stop inside to grab an informational guide to the park, or attend one of the free, twice-daily ranger talks (at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm) at the park's beautiful amphitheater to learn more about the culture and industry of ancient Hawaiians who lived in the area. Between Tuesday and Saturday, visitors even have the opportunity to experience some of the traditional crafts of ancient Hawaiians, including: fishing, carving and weaving.

McGurk, chairman and president of Charter Oak Partners By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND News Editor New Braunfels book and music lovers will be toting heavier shopping bags and lighter wallets in late spring. That's when Hastings book, music and video chain will open a store in the former New Braunfels Factory Stores, renamed New Braunfels Marketplace. Hastings, which bills itself as an "entertainment superstore," will add a 19,000-square-foot New Braunfels establishment to its list of 117 stores, said LaMar Johnson of the Hastings corporate communications department. "New Braunfels will be able to see the new store design," Johnson said. The New Braunfels Hastings will include the same sections as the San Marcos store, he said., "... with books, music, videos and software. All of our new stores have those departments." The home entertainment giant opened its first Amarillo store in 1%8, and has since spread to 15 states. But don't look for Hastings in a major metro, Johnson said. "We don't target the main markets," he said. "We're hometown USA. We're in the secondary and tertiary markets... towns between 20,000 and 100,000 people." Hastings stores are designed for families to spend time as well as money, Johnson said, with comfortable chairs for browsing books ami equipment to audition compact disks. Officials work to keep community involvement a prominent part of the Hastings corporate profile, Johnson said. "Our corporate focus is on literacy and education," he said. The new Hastings stores include coffee bars. "You don't pay for the coffee at Hastings, but we provide an area to donate money to the local literacy council." To date the corporation unofficially has raised about $150,000 for literacy nationwide through coffee bar donations, he said. The store offers summer reading clubs for children, where they can buy books at a discount, write book reports and receive pnzes for their efforts, Johnson said. The new Hastings is scheduled to open in April or May. 'The company should start sending out lots of publicity by early spring," he said. H#f«kJ-Z*itung photo by Michael Darnel!

Possession of a hand grenade is a third-degree felony punishable by two to IO years in prison and a $10,000 fine County gets lease for Specht crossing By DAVID DEKUNDER Staff Writer Comal County secured a lease Thursday for land at Specht's Crossing that will be used to launch and recover personal watercraft from the Guadalupe River. Commissioner Moe Schwab delivered the news to Commissioners Court during its Thursday meeting. Specht's Crossing is in western Comal County on Ok! Spring Branch Road west of U S. 281. County Engineer Tom Homseth said the county on Wednesday reached a 10-year lease agreement with George A. Bear, owner of the 8-acre tract for $ 1,500 a year. The lease required that the crossing be called Nichols Landing in honor of Beere's mother, Homseth said. Commissioners had approved the lease in February. Homseth said it took several months to complete because Bcere and the county were try ing to work out lease payments. "He w anted to be compensated fairly," Homseth said after the meeting. "He wanted to be reimbursed for his property taxes. That is how we wound up with the lease payments." The land will be used to help serve the public's recreational needs, Homseth said. "The main purpose is to launch and to recover watercraft in the river," he said. "It is one of the first public accessibility points on the river.'' The county took the old low-crossing bridge at Specht's Crossing out three years ago. It was replaced by a new highway bridge built across the river on Spring Branch Road. Specht's Crossing has been a favorite recreational spot for generations for area families. When the old bridge was destroyed and the new one built, property owners along the crossing began to complain about drunks, drug users, trespassers and rowdy people loitering along the river and damaging private property. One property owner said at a Comal County Water Oriented Recreation District meeting in Spring Branch last year the situation had gotten so bad that he would not let his daughters go to the area alone. Schwab said the agreement would allow county law enforcement officials to have greater control over the area. "Since we have a lease on it, we don't have to look tor somebody (property owner) to file charges (if somebody is arrested)," Schwab said. "The investigating officer can file the charges "The next step is to enter into an interlocal agreement with WORD." WORD has considered maintaining a launching area for tubes, canoes, kayaks and rafts at the crossing for the past few years. The district has set aside $64,000 for the project. For now, the county has no plans to put a park there, but that did not preclude having one in the future, Homseth said.Local doctor addresses impact of breast cancer — Page 8A t ;

TravelPod Member ReviewsCitotel Cecil Hotel Metz
The location is great, but there are some things I disliked about this place, such as: additional fee for rooms with air conditioning! The breakfast is way overrated, for 6.5 euro in the city you can have a gourmet breakfast and at the hotel they charge for a simple breakfast 8.5 euro!
The room was clean and the shower as well. All in all, recommended, only if you want to sleep here, but do not expect too much!

In our industry, we are given the opportunity to meet many incredible people and learn new things every day. Not many can say they love what they do, but we can! We are so fortunate for the vendors and venues we've had the pleasure to work with, thank you all for your passion and commitment for our Swannys! Our weddings this year were a success because of your cooperation and flexibility.

The Chinese government has sought to tamp down international expectations that Beijing might use its large financial reserves to help ease the European debt crisis.
The two government agencies that control the reserves face heavy restrictions on their use, Chinese government officials and economists said.
"The argument that China should rescue Europe does not stand, as reserves are not managed that way," China's Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, Fu Ying, said.
Ms Fu's comments were significant because Chinese diplomats and political leaders have been less hostile to helping Europe than Chinese economic policymakers, who have been strongly opposed.
Ms Fu conspicuously echoed some arguments that Chinese economic policymakers have made for months. She noted that the $US3.2 trillion in bonds, bills and cash the central bank holds as official foreign reserves represented national savings that were not easily disbursed.
"Foreign reserves are not domestic income or money that can be disposed of by the premier or finance minister," she said. "Foreign reserves are akin to savings, and their liquidity should be ensured."
Lou Jiwei, chairman and chief executive of China Investment Corp, a $US374 billion sovereign wealth fund that is managed independently of the foreign exchange reserves, has also tried to dampen speculation that the investment corporation might buy a lot of European bonds.
He suggested a week ago that his fund might invest in roads, bridges and other infrastructure in Europe, part of a broader Chinese interest in fixed assets as opposed to helping countries finance budget deficits.
The Chinese central bank effectively borrowed the money from the Chinese public to buy the dollars, euros and other currencies that are in both funds. The central bank has forced commercial banks to transfer a fifth of their domestic deposits to it and has used that money to buy $US1 billion or more a day of foreign currencies to slow the appreciation of the yuan against the dollar.
The central bank has also pressed commercial banks to buy central bank bills that pay very low rates and has used the proceeds to buy dollars.
These ploys have left the central bank with significant domestic liabilities in yuan to balance against return on foreign bonds, making economic policymakers wary of taking risks with foreign exchange reserves.
The possibility that China might buy large sums of European Union bonds has been floated repeatedly in the past 18 months by various officials from Greece, Italy and the European Union itself. These officials have sought to reassure financial markets that there will be demand for European government bonds, as a way to encourage investors to continue buying those bonds and thereby hold down the interest rates that European governments pay on their debt.
The Chinese government has mostly discouraged this speculation. But Prime Minister Wen Jiabao raised hopes in Europe in mid-September when he said that China might be prepared to lend a hand if Europe were to label China a "market economy", a designation that would make it difficult for European companies to file anti-dumping cases against low-priced Chinese exports.
Mr Wen did not offer details at the time on how China might help. Ms Fu's remarks represented some of the strongest comments by a Chinese official since then to suggest that Beijing was in no hurry to lend a hand.
At a conference at the Foreign Ministry on Friday and reported by the state media over the weekend, Ms Fu did not explicitly rule out buying bonds that might be issued as part of a European bailout. She did say that China continued to view Europe as an important economic partner.
But her caution suggested that China was not eager to increase its already sizable investment in the region; the foreign reserves include an estimated $1 trillion in euro-denominated assets, and experts on the Chinese central bank believe that much of it is invested in German government bonds.
Two people close to Chinese economic policy makers said on Sunday that China was particularly wary of buying any bonds issued in connection with a European bailout as long as there were clear differences within the European Union over the shape of a bailout. Both insisted on anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the subject publicly.
One said that China would lend large sums to Europe only if there were clear guarantees by the financially strongest European countries, particularly Germany, to take direct, individual responsibility for the repayment of that debt.
But Germany has so far refused to accept that liability. If Germany did give its own repayment guarantee, there would be such heavy demand for the bonds from the Middle East and elsewhere that Chinese money might not even be needed, the person said.

About Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation:
Founded in 1982, the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation (PMCF), formerly known as the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, is the fundraising arm of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Its focus is to conquer cancer in our lifetime. Princess Margaret claims it is a top 5 cancer research center in terms of the percentage of papers published in high-impact oncology journals and the percentage of highly cited papers.
In 2012, the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation launched the Billion Dollar Challenge, the largest fundraising campaign in the history of Canadian healthcare, towards four areas of Personalized Cancer Medicine: detect cancers earlier, diagnose cancers more precisely, target treatment more specifically, and provide comprehensive physical and emotional support. In F2015, the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation had passed the halfway point in raising $1 Billion by reaching $657m at year 3 of the launch.
In F2015, the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation granted $95.5m to the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre ($10.1m of which were grants payable, resulting in a cash transfer of $85.4m). Of the total grant of $95.5m, 79% were allocated to research, education, and patient care; 12% to buildings and constructions; and 9% to equipments. In 2014, the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre published 1,224 cancer research articles, completed 6,201 surgeries, cared for 17,460 new patients, provided 92,526 radiation visits, and delivered 368 stem cell transplants.
Financial Review:
In F2015, the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation spent 2% of revenues on administrative costs, and 27% of donations on fundraising costs. The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation has funding reserves of $564m, including donor-endowed funds of $133m in F2015. Total funding reserves can cover annual grants and programs for 7 years or 5 years excluding donor-endowed funds.
Of the foundation's $490k investments, 41% are aggressively invested in equities and alternative investments.

Comments added by the Charity:
The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation (The PMCF) raises funds to support one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world. In April 2012, we embarked on a challenge to secure $1 billion in funding to create the new gold standard in cancer care: Personalized Cancer Medicine. This is our goal.
The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre prides itself on finding tomorrow's treatments today. In the words of Medical Director Dr. Mary Gospodarowicz, "We integrate research with clinical practice to provide the best care for our patients. There are tomorrow's cures in our laboratories, and today's care in our cancer centre."
The PMCF is making a sizable impact, as was exhibited in Charity Intelligence's reporting on Social Results. The PMCF was graded A-, putting us in the top 15% for all charities. The PMCF received a perfect 20/20 on Financial Transparency and 18/20 in Fundraising and Administration costs.
Overall, The PMCF received a 2-star rating out of a possible 4 stars. While this is disappointing in one way, it is actually very good news in another.
The manner in which Charity Intelligence tabulates its ratings makes it impossible for The PMCF to attain anything better than a 2-star rating. In order to qualify for a 4-star rating, charities must have less than three years' reserves in fund balances. To receive a 3-star rating, charities must have no more than 5 years in fund balances.
The key reason that The PMCF received a 2-star rating was the level of grant giving compared to fund balances. The PMCF has 6.7 years of reserves in fund balances. Charity Intelligence does not take into account the future commitments made by The PMCF; only current expenditures.
The PMCF is holding funds for two primary reasons:
- Funds are reserved to finance initiatives in Personalized Cancer Medicine that are being developed. Included is a major research recruitment drive for The Princess Margaret. The fund balance is crucial for multiple-year research commitments. This extends beyond the salaries of newly-hired scientists, fellows and students as they continue to work on multi-year projects, many of which are already in progress, but also to the infrastructure: space and equipment required to deliver Personalized Cancer Medicine. As the recruitment of scientists is achieved over the next several years, there will be an acceleration of spending so the fund balances will dwindle. the way in creating the new gold standard in cancer care, please go to www.ibelieveit.ca
- Long-term support of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre research and clinical programs that require multi-year commitments for research initiatives. The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is the largest cancer research organization in Canada, and one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world. The cancer centre employs over a thousand people in research . The Foundation is the primary funder of the research enterprise through philanthropy and our social enterprise programs. In order to ensure sustainability of our leading scientists and innovative programs, we must maintain a fund balance to fund these individuals and their research initiatives over the years. This differs from many other foundations who are primarily granting organizations that have the flexibility to turn up or down their grants depending on the funds available in any given year.
On October 15, 2014, The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation made major announcements that provided clarity on how we are expending funds to advance our world-leading cancer program. They included an unprecedented expansion in research facilities, an unparalleled recruitment drive and a large-scale transformation of clinical space at The Princess Margaret, all to further strengthen our position in such areas as immune therapy, epigenetics, clinical genomes, biobanking, computational biology and pathology in order to better deliver on the promise of Personalized Cancer Medicine.

If you have questions, we encourage you to contact one of our staff at 416-946-6560, toll-free at 1-866-224-6560 or at email@example.com.

Miami Wedding
Miami Wedding
The Venues
Plenty of great venues in town to have an amazing wedding. Whether is an outdoor venue or a garden location, there are quite a few venues to keep in mind.
I highly recommend calling us at (561) 243-2539 or emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com, we have the entire list of venues available.
Here is a short list of my all time favorites:
- The Viscaya–No words would do this venue any justice, it is simply amazing ( and pricey…)
- The Brickell Bay Hall–very clean, pretty and very affordable
- The Spanish Monastery–very pretty for an outdoor venue and affordable
- The Deering Estates ( top 3 venues in South florida in my opinion)
- The Shane Center–great for an indoor Miami wedding, moderate priced
- The Miami Botanical Gardens–very "different", both indoor and outdoor facilities
Food and Beverage
If your guests are flying in for a destination reception,then I would recommend a "taste of South Florida" menu. Whether you like the "traditional"reception or a over the top themed event, we have designed quite a few over the past couple of years.
Not 2 menus, nor 2 brides will be the same, so we design each and every menu with you in mind, based on your personal taste and budget.
Over the past 20 years, we have coordinated over 1,200 weddings and counting( that is just a rough number, lol). I personally started way back in New York and then moved to South florida about 12 years ago. I include a free party planner with any booking. I want to be your caterer and party planner, simple as that.
I would also assist with coordinating decor, entertainment, photography and video…anything related to that big day.
Pricing for food and beverage usually start at right around $49.95 per person and can go as high as you wish.
It all depends on the quality and quantity of food, beverage, staff and rentals. On my Miami Weddings page here., I have posted some more details, check it out.
Also, with the summer approaching very quickly, I am promoting a new special: I will include white or Ivory linens and matching napkins at no additional cost!!! And this in addition to already great prices starting at just $49.95 Per Person.
For all of your catering needs, please contact one of our sales associates:
We look forward to working with you and planning that special day for you!!!

Happy and Healthy New Year!!!May 2010 be the best year yet.
With the Holidays that just passed, we are still going strong with a couple of big weddings at Viscaya, The Spanish Monastery and corporate events from Miami to West Palm and Naples.
Once photographers have pictures ready, I will be posting them; all of our events are amazing and some of the pictures are real work of art.
With the economy the way it is, I came up with my own economical catering package. Please note that this package could be a Wedding Reception, a Corporate Party or just a Birthday Party. I also like to work with ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGES, there are no add-ons, straight pricing, never hassled anybody.
What I really like about the concept of a caterer Miami:
- there is no need for a heavy dinner plate
- there is no need for a knife
- it is still "heavy" enough not to leave your guests hungry.
Here is what the package consists of:
- A full open bar for 4 hours
- An hour of passed around Mini appetizers ( sample HERE)
- Two stations: a Steak Diane and a Pasta Station( I will get back to the stations below)
- Desserts: mini french pastries and petit fours, fresh fruit
- Coffee

All of the above, based on a minimum of 100 guests: $49.95 per person.
Having less than 100 guests? Not a problem at all, just contact us HERE for a detailed quote.
As a Caterer Miami, we love our made from scratch scrumptious 1 to 2 bites appetizers. From Baby Lamb Chops to Jumbo Shrimp and Maryland Crab Cakes, to some of the local favorites: Mini Empanadas, Mini Cuban 2 Biters, Coconut Chicken, Shrimp and a lot more.
One of my own all time favorites. Mini Filet Mignons (3-4 ounces) are cooked to order. Then you are treated to our own White Trouffle Mashed Potatoes…incredibly yummy…
Not your ordinary station…nothing is ordinary about our food, services, displays. We take great pride in MAKING OUR OWN PASTAS…any other Caterer Miami out there that can honestly claim that??? Quite a few different kinds of pastas, sauces, ingredients..along with amazing decor.
No Caterer Miami can do anything close to our desserts: all one to two bites mini french pastries ( 20 or so different flavors), mini petit fours and fresh fruit. In fact our pastries are so outrageously amazing,w e have been contracted to develop a line specifically made for one of the major national hotel chains….very cool and proud( and we never went to them, they came to us…).
Nothing ordinary here either…lol. We use some of the best coffee beands around, the last impression is very important as well.
As 2012 rolls in, I would like to personally thank all of our clients for past business and hope that they have a great 2012 and see them again.
New clients: I have always had a moto:
And it has been true…all of our first time clients have been with us over the years and never ever even considered trying another caterer.

Making the world's greatest paper airplane:
Progress on the plane was especially "tricky" in the beginning, Iaconi-Stewart says, because "there were no publicly available [assembly] drawings.Now all he has to do is build the airport to go with it...
"I spent a lot of time making drawings from pictures.
"Then I got hold of a maintenance manual for people who maintain airplanes.
"It contains plenty of detail, which is useful for specific parts, but you're still having to draw everything from scratch.
"It consumes a lot of time," he says a little wistfully, some of which, you hope, he's also devoting to dating and perhaps even enjoying his new-found freedom to buy a beer.

Saint Placid's High School
|This article does not cite any sources. (August 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Saint Placid's High School
|Anglo Belgian Benedictines 22°20′00″N 91°50′20″E / 22.3333°N 91.8390°ECoordinates: 22°20′00″N 91°50′20″E / 22.3333°N 91.8390°E
Saint Placid's High School (SPS) was founded by the Anglo Belgian Benedictines (Congregation of Holy Cross) in Chittagong, Bangladesh, in 1853 when the country was under British occupation. The school was named after Saint Placid, a Benedictine Saint of the 6th century. It was the first school to be taken over by Religious Order of Holy Cross in 1853. St. Placid's features a high standard of education in English that is consistent with international educational standards for High School. It has been regarded as one of the top schools in the country.Its scout troop was founded in 1923 and was three times national champion. It is still regarded as one of the best troops in Bangladesh. St. Placid's basketball team was national champion in 2009.
Saint Placid's is one of many English medium schools that were started by Christian missionaries during the time of the British rule. The schools were used to educate the Christian community of the regions they served to give them the advantages of education in the British ruled Indian subcontinent. They were also used to promote the conversion of people to Christianity especially from the poor who saw the schools as an added benefit for their children. Throughout their history though, these schools also took in students who were the children of the wealthy who could afford the fees that were charged to non-Christians. These students may have formed the majority and also provided income to the schools. After independence, the schools remained and adapted to the new countries they served (India, Pakistan and later Bangladesh as it became independent of Pakistan). They catered more and more to the children of the emerging middle class and also had a secular public front that was aligned with the religious sensitivities of the local people. At St. Placid's in the 1960s for example, the day started with the national anthem at assembly and when the students reached their "home room" they recited the Lord's Prayer, which was deemed consistent with both Muslim and Christian beliefs. The school provided an excellent curriculum for education in English that allowed its alumni to go on to college and take their places in the upper eschelons of educated and affluent society. Throughout recent history, the success of such schools was due in part to what the educated classes saw as the failure of the public education system. St.Placid's as well as similar schools filled the gap between what was seen by the educated and affluent members of society as the best education for obtaining the most desirable jobs in the government and business, and what the public education offered.In recent years its result is really encouraging.

Tarzan, a fictional character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first appeared in the 1912 novel Tarzan of the Apes, and then in twenty-three sequels. He is the son of a British Lord and Lady, marooned on the coast of Africa by mutineers. His parents died when he was an infant, and he was raised by Great Apes of a species unknown to science. Kala is his ape mother. Tarzan (White-skin) is his ape name; his English name is John Clayton, Lord Greystoke. As a young adult, he meets Jane, and when she returns to America he leaves the jungle in search of his true love. Tarzan and Jane marry, and he lives with her for a time in England.

Get super moist rotisserie chicken without a rear burner or rotisserie kit. The Napoleon Stainless Steel Chicken Roaster holds a chicken upright for easy basting. Imagine the moistest chicken with crisp skin all the way around the bird. Slide a standard can inside the stand to steam roast the chicken from the inside out. This creates such moist meat that it just falls off the bone. The convenient base catches the drippings from the bird as it roasts. Use the drippings to make the perfect gravy. This also keeps your grill clean. The chicken roaster assembles and breaks down quickly for easy cleanup and compact storage. Get a Stainless Steel Chicken Roaster today and enjoy rotisserie style grilled chicken without a rotisserie kit.Ask an Expert

Preservation in context
Marriott project ignites a needed discussion
"Is a building historic just because it's old?" That's a question I was asked in late 2010, just as plans for the new Marriott Hotel at E. Wisconsin Ave. and N. Milwaukee St. were being unveiled. The developers knew that their proposal to tear down several 19th-century buildings on the downtown Milwaukee site was going to draw fire, and their spokesman, Evan Zeppos, was calling me and, I assume, numerous others in search of support.
There was indeed opposition, but plans for the Marriott were finally approved - if not in quite their original form. The facades of the buildings on Wisconsin Ave. will be preserved, but their interiors will not, and the structures on Milwaukee St. already have come down.
As the work proceeds, concerns about the city's historic preservation process have prompted a fresh look at the enabling ordinance. Critics contend that the Historic Preservation Commission - the body charged with approving or rejecting projects involving historic buildings - could have held up the Marriott deal indefinitely.
Ald. Terry Witkowski, after consulting with other city officials, has suggested a dozen changes to the master ordinance. Some are minor, like a historic plaque program, and others are more ambitious, including a provision that the Common Council could take up an application if the HPC doesn't act on it within 90 days. Witkowski has wisely given the preservation community time to react to his proposals, and that is where matters rest in the spring of 2012.
Whatever your feelings about the suggested changes, they have at least opened a new dialogue on Milwaukee's built environment. As someone who's been tilling the field of local history for almost 40 years, my own support for preservation is hardly a surprise, but my feelings were brought into sharper focus by visits to two cities earlier this year: Houston, Texas, and Savannah, Ga. For preservationists, they represent, respectively, hell and heaven.
I was in Houston in February on a fact- finding trip for the Milwaukee Public Library board, and we saw some wonderfully innovative approaches to library service during our two days there. What we did not see was a city with much regard for its heritage. Although Houston's development, like Milwaukee's, began in the 1830s, there is scant physical evidence to prove it. Despite some shining individual examples of preservation - the old central library, the Gregory School - the city gives every appearance of having popped out of the ground since 1970. Each new layer of development has been allowed to erase all that came before it.
Houston's most visible preservation district, in fact, is Sam Houston Park, a cluster of historic buildings that were moved from other sites to a fenced 10-acre compound downtown. It lies literally in the shadow of a major freeway, and the gates are locked at dusk. Sam Houston Park feels less like a historic district and more like a zoo for old buildings.
The city's disregard for preservation reflects its laissez-faire approach to land use in general. Despite a population of more than 2 million and a land area of 656 square miles (Milwaukee covers less than 100), Houston has no zoning regulations. It has evolved without rules, and the result is geographic anarchy. Since anything can be built anywhere, a long corner-to-corner drive will take you through a hodgepodge of commercial, industrial and residential areas that feels absolutely random. I got the sense that there aren't 10 contiguous blocks of anything in the entire city.
It is freeways, not neighborhoods, that define the Houston experience. Residents live either "inside the loop" (Interstate 610) or outside it, and they speak in terms of commutes rather than communities. No less than Los Angeles, Houston is a city of the automobile, and, like Los Angeles, it's difficult to find the "there" there.
I stumbled on a revealing editorial in the Houston Chronicle during our visit. "As an urban place," the newspaper acknowledged, "Houston still has serious shortcomings, including some that would not be tolerated elsewhere." Milwaukee is one of those elsewheres. After two days in Houston, I found myself longing for distinctive neighborhoods like Walker's Point or Sherman Park and a downtown that carried an air of permanence, angled bridges and all.
Savannah, by contrast, has made historic preservation its leading industry. My wife and I visited the Georgia city on an Eastertime road trip and came home impressed. Savannah is a working city, with a bustling port and a full range of downtown businesses, but the business of the present is done in the physical context of the past.
Central Savannah is organized around a checkerboard of small public squares, 22 in all, that were carved out of the coastal forest in the 1700s. Today, they are shaded by majestic live oaks, covered with monuments and surrounded by homes that, in many cases, have been standing for 200 years or more. Legions of tourists - on foot, in horse-drawn trolleys, on motor coaches - share the narrow streets with art students and ordinary citizens going about their business.
It wasn't always that way. Central Savannah in the postwar years was as rundown and endangered as any old city of its size in America; residents were fleeing to the edge of town in droves and not looking back. Beginning in the 1950s, Savannahians decided that their past was worth reclaiming. Square by square, home by home, they restored the landscape they had inherited. As a direct result, a community of fewer than 140,000 people attracts 11 million visitors every year.
Milwaukee, like most American cities, lies somewhere between Savannah and Houston on the urban spectrum. We lack the antebellum charm of the Georgia peach, of course, but we've escaped the bulldozer mentality of the curiously faceless Texas metropolis. Since the late 1960s, Milwaukeeans have understood that history has profound importance as a maker of place, and that we disturb the layered landscape of our own moment in time at the risk of losing something far more important than bricks and mortar.
No, we can't save every building, and it would be delusional, even destructive, to try. Cities are living organisms, and the first condition of life is change. You can't freeze a city in time, nor can you encase its landmarks in amber. Where would Chicago or New York be if they'd halted development in, say, 1900?
Cities are alive, but amputations and transplantations should be done with the utmost caution, both in our historic districts and in the rules that govern their preservation. Every American city lost priceless landmarks to the postwar infatuation with progress, but treasures still abound in Milwaukee. Could you imagine the south side without St. Josaphat's Basilica? The Third Ward without Commission Row? The east side without the Oriental Theater? History is still a maker of places, and its value only increases with time.
Will Milwaukee amend its preservation ordinance? Perhaps, but I suspect there's plenty of room for compromise on the issue. Witkowski himself understands the value of historic preservation. "Certainly I think it's a necessary thing," he told me. "I see the need for it. Besides, I'm an old guy, and I like old things."
And so we end with our original question: Is a building historic just because it's old? Of course not. My garage dates from the early 1900s, but it's hardly a landmark-in-waiting. At the same time, as I told Zeppos, context is hugely important. St. Josaphat's Basilica needs the Polish flats surrounding it, just as the Oriental Theater needs the storefronts that flank it on Farwell Ave. Stripped of context, each landmark would be like a rose without a garden - pretty, perhaps, but denatured in some fundamental way. I'm sure the Marriott Hotel will bring new life to the east side of downtown, but it will do so at significant cost to the context of a unique architectural district.
Urban development has always required a careful and imperfect balancing of interests that are constantly in flux. But we should, I'm convinced, err on the side of preservation every time we can, because, whether it's historic or simply old, once a building comes down, it's down forever.
