With lots to offer the under-8 set, Muscoot boasts poultry and livestock representing the typical inhabitants of a country gentleman's farm of the 1880s to the 1950s. Although some of the animals look sweet enough to hug (newly hatched chicks and a female foal come to mind), neither petting nor feeding is allowed.
Still, there is plenty to keep young and old occupied — like listening to the persistent moos of the large Holstein cow, searching for the dark snout of the Tamworth pig in the mud puddle of the pigpen, and watching the pigmy goats butt horns playfully in the sun. Also home to ponies, donkeys, and turkeys, each animal house at Muscoot is posted with information regarding its breed (often old and rare) and interesting facts about the animal. Did you know, for instance, that a female donkey is called a jenny, and a male is a jack? Or that, despite their penchant for wallowing in mud, pigs are very clean and always keep their toilet far from their living space?
Except for a refreshment stand open from April to the end of October, all the buildings at Muscoot represent typical agricultural structures found in old Westchester. The elegant Main House, built by the Hopkins family in the mid 1880s, was kept up by two housekeepers and a cook and was the family's living quarters when they originally used the property as a summer retreat. After the house was updated with plumbing and electricity in the 1910s, the family began to use it year round. Today, the colonial revival mansion is used as a gallery, housing monthly art shows from May through October and is open on weekends from 12-4pm. This month's artist is the watercolorist, Waltra Maurer. The main house is closed during the winter to protect the floors, which are the original black walnut harvested on the farm.
The outer farm buildings include dairy barns, milk house, brooder, pig house, turkey house, blacksmith shop, bullpen, storage barns, stables and a carriage house, all restored with tin shingle or slate roofs and plaques explaining their history. The farm is set on the edge of a wood with public hiking trails, and there are two outside areas with picnic tables waiting for the well-prepared family's feast.
On a recent visit, my 5-year-old son led me by the arm to the perfect vantage point between two dark red barns to admire a pasture dotted with horses before a distant wooded hill. If Muscoot doesn't make your children want to live on their own farm, it may just turn them into landscape painters.
October events at Muscoot:
October 12-14 is Pumpkin Pickin', the annual fundraiser for the Friends of Muscoot Farm, where, over the course of three days, thousands of visitors come for $2 hayrides and to pick and purchase their Halloween pumpkins. Events run noon to 3pm each day.
October 20 is Autumn Fest with vendors and children's activities and entertainment provided by the Wicker's Creek Band. Events run 11am to 3pm. and are free.
October 27 is the annual Halloween Frolic and Antique Tractor Show. From 11am to 3pm there will be hayrides, a Children's Boo Walk (a non-scary scavenger hunt with a lollipop treat at the end), and a farm tractor party. No registration is required, and events are free.
November events at the farm include Moo! Baa! And Oink! programs for 3- to 5-year-olds, and a Pre-K Harvest Happening. Registration is required. For other events and more information, call (914) 864-7284.
If you can't make any of the big events, hayrides are available every Sunday in spring and fall from 1-3pm. Birthday parties are also available Saturday mornings by reservation. For more information, call (914) 864-7282
And (for those who really think ahead), if you enjoy what you see and do at the farm, Muscoot runs Young Farmers, a summer camp program where children in grades 3-8 learn to milk cows by hand, gather eggs, and groom sheep, cows and calves. Mark your calendars. Registration is the first Saturday in February.
Muscoot Farm is open daily from 10am-4pm. Admission is free.

If your child has a fever or complains of a stomachache, chances are a quick trip to the doctor's office and perhaps a prescription will do the trick. But what if it's something more serious, something psychological?
During early childhood years, children develop at a faster pace than adults, and it is during this period of time that music education can impact a child's learning ability and development as the executive director of The Diller-Quaile School of Music in Manhattan shares.

Video: An Army of One … brave little soldier
posted at 5:26 pm on December 22, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Pull out the hankies for this story. When an Army major in Kuwait found out that a 10-year-old boy in his home town was undergoing treatment for cancer and that his life's ambition was to serve in the Army, he rounded up soldiers in the Albany area to make a dream come true.
According to the Albany Herald, Maj. Norland James spoke to Quarles over Skype after a friend of his who is a nurse at Gilchrest Hospice Center in Baltimore — where the 10-year-old spends most of his time — told her about the boy and how he loved the idea of being in the army.
James said he liked the idea of being able to video chat with Quarles, but he wanted to do more than that. He spoke to some servicemen from Ft. Meade, which is near the hospice, and arranged for a surprise for Quarles.
James and Quarles spoke for about 15 minutes before James told the child to go outside. When he did, there were about 25 military and civilian personnel standing outside his home. Quarles, who was already dressed in military fatigues, sat in front of American flag and was then approached by Captain Brandon Crawford.
"It came to my attention that one of your lifelong ambitions was to become a soldier," Crawford said. "So I brought a few of my troops here to make you an honorary member of the United States Army. What do you think of that?"
Quarles smiled and nodded. His dream was finally coming true.
I'd write more, but something just flew into my eye.

Lawrence JAMETSKY, Petitioner, v. RODNEY A. and Jane Doe Olsen, Matthew and Jane Doe Flynn, And Michael and Jane Doe Haber, Respondents.
¶ 1 When Lawrence Jametsky lost his job during the fall of 2008, he feared foreclosure on his home. He already owed King County over $10,000 in back property taxes and had no foreseeable means of paying off the debt. Desperate to save his house, Jametsky sought help securing a loan. At the time, he had significant equity in his home and was willing to borrow against it. Through a series of connections, he was introduced to Matthew Flynn, a mortgage broker. Eventually, Flynn made Jametsky an offer. Jametsky was relieved; he thought Flynn was extending him a $100,000 loan that would cover his debts, save his house, and allow him to regain financial solvency. With this understanding, he agreed to the transaction. The offer, however, was not what it seemed. Instead of receiving a loan, Jametsky deeded his house to Rodney Olsen for $100,000 and entered into an 18–month lease with a buy-back option.
¶ 2 After Jametsky realized what had happened months after the fact, he sought relief under the distressed property conveyances act (DPCA), chapter 61.34 RCW, among other things. His suit was dismissed at summary judgment. The Court of Appeals affirmed, finding that Jametsky's property was not distressed at the time of the sale because no certificate of delinquency had been issued by King County. Jametsky v. Olsen, noted at 171 Wn.App. 1019 (2012). We reverse the Court of Appeals, vacate the grant of summary judgment, and remand for further proceedings. We hold that a property can be distressed under RCW 61.34.020(2)(a) before a certificate of delinquency is issued and instruct the trial court to consider a variety of factors in making this factual determination.
¶ 3 Jametsky inherited his grandfather's home and has been living there for over 25 years. Though there were liens on the house, the property was not mortgaged or otherwise encumbered. But, in the fall of 2008, Jametsky suffered significant financial and crushing personal hardships and he sought to borrow money against his house. Jametsky lost his job and was already struggling to pay his property taxes. He was two and a half years behind on his property tax payments, and without a steady source of income he feared he could not cure the $10,000 delinquency in time to avoid foreclosure. Worst of all, in October 2008, Jametsky's teenage son was murdered.
¶ 4 Because of learning disabilities and limited education, Jametsky was unable to read or understand legal documents, and so he sought assistance with obtaining a loan. Michael Haber represented himself as someone who could help. He poured over Jametsky's financial and tax records and created a loan application that Jametsky never actually saw. Some months later, Haber came to Jametsky and introduced Flynn as an investor who was willing to assist. Haber and Flynn asked Jametsky about the existing liens and outstanding tax bill and assessed other financial records. One morning in October 2008, four days after Jametsky's son was murdered, they woke Jametsky and told him that they had a deal that would allow him to keep his home and pay off his debts. All Jametsky had to do was pay them back over time. Jametsky was relieved. In early November, they came back, roused Jametsky from bed, and drove him to a Starbucks to sign the paperwork. When Jametsky asked what the papers were for, he was told that they were for a loan. Jametsky signed.
¶ 5 Without knowing it at the time, Jametsky deeded his house to Olsen for $100,000. Due to Jametsky's outstanding obligations and inflated fees, Jametsky only received $4,697 from the transaction even though his house was estimated to be worth $230,000. Flynn and Haber, on the other hand, received $7,000 and $3,000 respectively in commission.
¶ 6 For some time, Jametsky made what he thought were loan payments to Olsen. These were, however, under the documents Jametsky signed at Starbucks, rental payments. The record is not entirely clear on the exact sequence of subsequent events. But, over a year after the transaction, Olsen began sending eviction notices to Jametsky, alleging nonpayment of rent and a failure to vacate at the end of the lease term. Around the same time, Jametsky learned that he did not receive a loan, but instead he had deeded his home to Olsen.
¶ 7 In July 2010, Jametsky filed a complaint seeking to quiet title and alleging violations of DPCA, unfair and deceptive practices, and a civil conspiracy. The trial court found there were no genuine issues of material fact and granted Olsen's motion for summary judgment in its entirety. The trial judge found that Jametslcy's home did not meet the definition of "distressed property" under the DPCA because no certificate of delinquency for unpaid property taxes had been issued by King County. Because claims of unfair and deceptive practices under the Consumer Protection Act, chapter 19.86 RCW, were based on the alleged DPCA violations, these claims were dismissed as a result of that determination as well. Finally, Jametslcy's civil conspiracy claim failed due to insufficient evidence of any communication among the parties. The Court of Appeals affirmed. We granted review and now reverse.
¶ 8 Must a certificate of delinquency be issued before a property is considered distressed under RCW 61.34.020(2)(a)?
A. Standard of Review
¶ 9 Statutory interpretation is a question of law reviewed de novo. Dep't of Ecology v. Campbell & Gwinn, LLC, 146 Wash.2d 1, 9, 43 P.3d 4 (2002) (citing State v. Breazeale, 144 Wash.2d 829, 837, 31 P.3d 1155 (2001); State v. J.M., 144 Wash.2d 472, 480, 28 P.3d 720 (2001)). The goal of the inquiry is to ascertain and carry out the legislature's intent. Id.
¶ 10 If possible, we "must give effect to [the] plain meaning [of a statute] as an expression of legislative intent." Id. at 9–10, 28 P.3d 720. This plain meaning is derived from the context of the entire act as well as any "related statutes which disclose legislative intent about the provision in question." Id. at 11, 28 P.3d 720. Because " '[p]lain language does not require construction,' " we need not consider outside sources if a statute is unambiguous. State v. Delgado, 148 Wash.2d 723, 727, 63 P.3d 792 (2003) (quoting State v. Wilson, 125 Wash.2d 212, 217, 883 P.2d 320 (1994)).
¶ 11 A statute is ambiguous when, after examination, we find "that it is subject to more than one reasonable interpretation ." City of Seattle v. Winebrenner, 167 Wash.2d 451, 456, 219 P.3d 686 (2009) (citing State v. Jacobs, 154 Wash.2d 596, 600–01, 115 P.3d 281 (2005)). At that point, we "may resort to statutory construction, legislative history, and relevant case law for assistance in discerning legislative intent." Christensen v. Ellsworth, 162 Wash.2d 365, 373, 173 P.3d 228 (2007).
B. The DPCA Applies Only to Transactions Involving "Distressed Homes" or "Distressed Homeowners"
¶ 12 The DPCA's protections are reserved for desperate circumstances that may induce homeowners into unscrupulous deals. But these additional procedural safeguards are afforded only to transactions involving "distressed homes" or "distressed homeowners." See, e.g., RCW 61.34.050, .060, .070, 080. The act defines distressed homes as dwellings that are either (1) "in danger of foreclosure or at risk of loss due to nonpayment of taxes" or (2) "in danger of foreclosure or ․ in the process of being foreclosed due to a default under the terms of a mortgage." RCW 61.34.020(2)(a)-(b). While the definition section expressly defines "in danger of foreclosure,"1 there is no corollary for "at risk of loss due to nonpayment of taxes." See ch. 61.34 RCW. Nonetheless, the plain meaning of RCW 61.34.020(2)(a) is clear. The act is remedial, and we construe remedial statutes liberally in accordance with the legislative purpose behind them. Int'l Ass'n of Fire Fighters v. City of Everett, 146 Wash.2d 29, 34, 42 P.3d 1265 (2002) (citing Gaglidari v. Denny's Rests., Inc., 117 Wash.2d 426, 450–51, 815 P.2d 1362 (1991)). Accordingly, a trial court must conduct a factual inquiry and consider a variety of factors when determining whether a property is distressed because it is "at risk of loss due to nonpayment of taxes."
1. RCW 61.34.020(2)(a) is not ambiguous
¶ 13 We find the plain meaning of "at risk of loss due to nonpayment of taxes" unambiguous because it is not subject to more than one reasonable interpretation. Nothing in the DPCA or any related statute contradicts or obfuscates the plain meaning of the phrase. Furthermore, neither party contends that the relevant portion of the DPCA is ambiguous. The parties dispute only the plain meaning of the "at risk of loss" and whether RCW 84.64.050 is a related statute for purposes of that determination.
¶ 14 Respondents argue for a bright-line rule. They believe that a dwelling only becomes a distressed property under RCW 61.34.020(2)(a) once the county treasurer has issued a certificate of delinquency under RCW 84.64.050 of the lien foreclosure act. Jametsky and the attorney general2 contend that construing the statute in this way undermines the legislative intent of the DPCA. They contend that "at risk" should be given its plain, dictionary meaning and that RCW 84.64.050 is not a related statute for purposes of statutory interpretation. We agree with Jametsky and the attorney general.
2. The DPCA is a remedial statute that must be construed liberally
¶ 15 The DPCA is a remedial statute that protects vulnerable homeowners from equity skimming and other fraudulent and predatory schemes. See RCW 61.34.010.3 Its remedial nature permeates the chapter. The act makes a willful pattern of equity skimming a class B felony. RCW 61.34.030. In establishing that any violation of the DPCA is "an unfair method of competition" for the purposes of the Consumer Protection Act, the legislature found "the practices covered by [the DPCA] are matters vitally affecting the public interest." RCW 61.34.040(1). As further evidence of its remedial purpose, courts may impose up to $100,000 in exemplary damages for bad faith violations of the DPCA. RCW 61.34 .040(2).
¶ 16 We construe remedial consumer protection statutes, such as the DPCA, liberally in favor of the consumers they aim to protect. Carlsen v. Global Client Solutions, LLC, 171 Wash.2d 486, 498, 256 P.3d 321 (2011) ( "[A]s a remedial statute enacted to stem the 'numerous unfair and deceptive practices' rife in the growing debt adjustment industry, the debt adjusting statute should be construed liberally in favor of the consumers it aims to protect." (quoting Performance Audit: Debt Adjusting, Licensing and Regulatory Activities, Report No. 77–13, at 7 (Jan. 20, 1978) (on file with Wash. State Archives, H.B. 86) (1979))); State v. Pike, 118 Wash.2d 585, 591, 826 P.2d 152 (1992) ("[C]onsumer protection statutes like [the automotive repair act (APvA) ] have been adopted 'to foster fair dealing ․ in a trade which [has] been replete with frequent instances of unscrupulous conduct.' As a remedial statute, the ARA is to be liberally construed to further this legislative purpose." (fourth alteration in the original) (citation omitted) (quoting I–5 Truck Sales & Serv. Co. v. Underwood, 32 Wash.App. 4, 11, 645 P.2d 716 (1982))). Because of this, "at risk of loss" must be construed to offer homeowners more rather than less protection. And so, a certificate of delinquency need not issue for a property to be deemed distressed under RCW 61.34.020(2)(a).
3. RCW 84.64.050 is not a related statute
¶ 17 Respondents offer RCW 84.64.050 as evidence that the legislature intended a narrow definition of "distressed property" in the context of potential tax foreclosures. But we consider only those extrinsic statutes "which disclose legislative intent about the provision in question." Campbell & Gwinn, 146 Wash.2d at 11, 43 P.3d 4. RCW 84.64.050 sheds little light on the legislative intent of the DPCA, and so we reject respondents' position and find that this statute does not define "at risk of loss due to nonpayment of taxes ." The stated legislative intent of the DPCA is to protect innocent homeowners from equity skimming and other misconduct that contravenes public policy. See RCW 61.34.010. Nothing contained in RCW 84.64.050 relates to that legislative intent.4 Chapter 84.64 RCW pertains exclusively to the procedures related to tax foreclosure and redemption, not remedies afforded defrauded homeowners. See ch. 84.64 RCW.
¶ 18 Furthermore, "[t]he legislature is presumed to enact laws with full knowledge of existing laws." Thurston County v. Gorton, 85 Wash.2d 133, 138, 530 P.2d 309 (1975). Mindful of this principle, we find the absence of any reference to RCW 84.64.050 anywhere in RCW 61.34.020 or the DPCA as a whole telling. Other related statutes, such as mortgage and real estate broker licensing statutes and those defining "financial institutions," were explicitly cited by legislature in the DPCA. See RCW 61.34.020(3)(a)(ix), .020(3)(a)(x), (3)(b), (8), (9), (11)(c). Thus, the legislature's failure to cite RCW 84.64.050 in a statute replete with external references cannot be viewed as accidental and further supports our conclusion that it is not relevant for defining "at risk of loss due to nonpayment of taxes."
4. The plain meaning of RCW 61.34.020(2)(a)
¶ 19 To resolve the question presented, we give the operative term "at risk" its plain, dictionary definition of "vulnerable," which comports with the common understanding of the phrase and its use by the legislature in other statutory schemes.5 Though we recognize this interpretation may have practical difficulties, it is faithful to the legislature's intent and we have no doubt that trial courts are well equipped to conduct the requisite case-specific factual inquiries to determine whether a property is sufficiently "at risk" to be characterized as distressed.
¶ 20 Without a doubt, case-by-case determinations require more effort. But such flexibility is the only way "at risk of loss due to nonpayment of taxes" can be determined fairly. More solvent individuals with adequate resources and an ability to secure credit may not be "at risk of loss" until their tax default has reached a more advanced stage. Others, who have lost income or experienced some financial hardship, may be "at risk of loss" earlier in the process. By considering and balancing a variety of non-exclusive factors, such as (1) the total amount owed to the county including all fees and other costs; (2) the total number of payments the delinquency represents and when foreclosure could occur; (3) the financial ability of the homeowner to meet or cure this obligation at the time of the transaction;6 and (4) any discrepancy between the sale price and the fair market value of the property, trial courts will be able to accurately conclude whether a distressed property was conveyed and whether the protections of the DPCA apply to the transaction in question. That said, this basic framework should be viewed as a starting point and does not purport to account for unique factors and circumstances that may exist in certain cases. Therefore, trial courts faced with deciding whether a property is distressed as a result of a property tax delinquency must, at the very least, begin their analysis with this inquiry.
¶ 21 RCW 84.64.050 is not a related statute for purposes of construing the plain meaning of RCW 61.34.020(2)(a) and a property can be "at risk of loss due to nonpayment of taxes" before a certificate of delinquency has been issued. We vacate the decisions of the lower courts and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

The website only advertises them with the 2824-2 automatic movement, but I've got the impression by reading this forum that Stowa will accomodate buyers looking to get the Marine or Flieger with the 2801 movement. Is this the case? I've always thought that the 2801 only came in limited editions like the most recent Fliegers in A (black hands) and B dials.
Also, if I can order with 2801, is the caseback clear sapphire or solid steel? Is the movement decorated? How does the cost compare to the 2824? Thanks

The first feed growth! fishing charter was a success, and we would like to thank all our friends (and new acquaintances) for coming out.
We may have anchored the boat, but not the great ideas. For those who were unable to attend – or those who drank too much beer to remember – we're giving you the Top 100 feed growth! articles in this neatly packaged post.
So, how did we come up with these top 100 ideas (and those oh so impressive top 10)?
Well, we applied a screening process and considered all of the ideas in light of the following:
1) Ability to affect the bottom line
2) Accessibility and relevance across different business categories
3) Our direct experience (have we used it or know someone who has)
4) Magical cool factor
So, now that we've done all the work (we love it), you can just sit back and browse the top digital marketing ideas and prepare for how you're going to generate boffo results in 2009. Know someone who is embroiled in marketing planning, trying to figure out how they're going to make their numbers?
Why not be a pal and tell them about all of these great ideas in one place? Remember, if you want to jump to the top 10, just scroll down to the bottom.

Amazon Kindle 3G Wi-Fi
I'm not a fan of the keyboard, and wish it was on-screen and touch-sensitive. That is literally (and literary) my only issue with Amazon's latest generation Kindle, the best eBook reader we've yet looked at and a worthy Product of the Year award winner.
You see, despite having an iPad in my possession, I have never purchased a single eBook for it, and of the dozens of out-of-copyright titles I have downloaded (from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, to Wuthering Heights) I've read one - the Wind in the Willows. The problem is that although I know plenty of folks who can tolerate reading for extended periods on an illuminated display, I'm not one of them - I need e-ink if I'm to use an electronic reader.
And if I'm getting an eBook reader, it needs to be the very best. The Kindle has a fantastic screen, a great range of features, such as dictionary look-ups and bookmarking, and boasts battery life measured in days, not hours. Some might lament the lack of EPUB support, but as there's an Amazon app for Android and iOS, it's not like tying myself into Amazon's eBook store is a massive issue - especially as it's consistently the cheapest.
In truth, right now I could cope with the Wi-Fi version of the Kindle. Whispernet is utterly brilliant, but I don't really need to be able to download books while lounging on a beach. However, what I do want is the assurance that in six months time when Amazon inevitably think up some clever new 3G-utilising feature I will be able to use it.
Besides, it's £40 more for the 3G version than the Wi-Fi only Kindle, and what's £40 to Santa?
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5
Cameras on the TrustedReviews Christmas wish list are something of a tradition. If Jay's not asking for a Nikon D700 (he actually bought a D3) then Riyad is after a Panasonic LX3 (gifted to him by his wife). With such a precedent of success, I can't resist but try my luck in getting my choice of camera this year: the Panasonic DMC-LX5 (which incidentally, Ed just bought himself).
Although it may have lost out to the Canon Powershot S95 in our annual awards, the differences between the two are minor at best and for my money I'll take the ergonomics of the LX5 over the 'better' video of the S95 - my phone captures good enough video for the rare occasions when I actually want it.
What really appeals about the LX5 is its image quality, which rivals that of my current camera - a Nikon D40x. And with a camera as compact as the LX5 I'll be likely to use it more often. I rarely take my DSLR with me 'just in case' I'll want it, but with a camera small enough to fit in a pocket I'd be happy doing just that.
Grooveshark for iPhone
This should be pretty self-explanatory. In fact, it's an easier fix than you might think because Grooveshark's developers have already done the hard work, all that's required for me to be have Grooveshark on my iPhone is for Apple to approve the app.
Which brings me onto the underlying request that makes the stated one possible: Apple needs to loosen the restrictions on its App Store. Frankly, I don't care how this happens, but happen it should. If I it requires that "I Agree" to terms and conditions stating I won't blame Apple if an unapproved third-party application bricks my handset or runs off with all my personal data, so be it.
In the interim, I'll be sticking to buying CDs, ripping them as 320kbps MP3s and transferring them to my iPhone via iTunes. I'd happily take the step down in quality in if it enabled me to decouple my music collection from my computer, but having already paid for a year's subscription to Grooveshark's add-free service, I don't fancy doing so for Spotify, Napster or any of the other alternatives.

|Couchdb and futon authentication on trunk (910404)
|Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:05:10 GMT
Problem 1: - In admin party mode, when offered authentication details couchdb and futon will complain. (from memory, I think the error was {"error":"unauthorized","reason":"Name or password is incorrect."}) - Web browsers remember authentication details - so if I have previously logged into futon, then removed the users and changed to admin party mode, I can't access the site until I restart the browser. Problem 1a: Why doesn't the test suite run unless in admin party mode? (And why isn't there a 'clean up the test databases' test?) Problem 2: Once an admin user is created, if you go and change require_valid_user to true, everything seems to work fine until you log out or restart the browser. Then futon will not let you in - trying to access couchserver:5984/_utils just brings up an {"error":"unauthorized","reason":"Authentication required."} error... not a login screen or HTTP auth prompt or anything. It seems there's no way to get back into futon other than switching require_valid_user off. This is the first trunk build I've tried (was on 0.10.0 before), so it might just be my server, but this behaviour seems either odd or incomplete. Thoughts? (Also, can 'sign up' be disabled / admin users allowed to create new users?) -Patrick Barnes

David Remnick
Editor, The New Yorker magazine
Wed Sep 24 2008
Who are your favorite New Yorkers?
David Remnick: You mean beyond the staff of The New Yorker? Mariano Rivera. Geoffrey Canada. Cassandra Wilson. Philip Roth. Paul LeClerc. Robert Silvers. For starters. And the family that runs Barney Greengrass. I honor them and the whitefish they swam in on.
What's the biggest thing that's happened to the city in the past 13 years?
David Remnick: I can't believe that any respondent can say anything other than 9/11. I'm not sure that Sex and the City and the rise of Marc Jacobs quite compares.
Your favorite place?
David Remnick: Film Forum on West Houston. I have only one ambition: that one day I will be buried there. Up close. Near the screen.
What's your favorite moment in New York?
David Remnick: With my wife and sons, Yankee Stadium, seats on the first-base line, cool October night, Game 7 against the Red Sox, bottom of the ninth—Aaron Boone, of all people, hits a looping tracer arc into the left-field seats, prolonging for one last, joyful, municipally vindictive moment, the Curse of the Bambino. Then things changed.
What's the future of New York? What are your hopes, and what needs to happen?
David Remnick: One never knows; isn't that why we live here? Infinite possibility. It would be good, though, to have a mayor as intelligent and competent as Michael Bloomberg—but one who didn't have to buy his election.
Complete this sentence: New York is…
David Remnick: …infinite possibility. It's the place where you have to be willing to be lucky. E.B. White told us that long ago.
If you could have a drink with anyone else on this Top 40 list, who would it be?
David Remnick: Spider-Man, surely. I would ask him how long it takes him to get in that suit. Michael Phelps says it takes him a half hour to get into his.
And lastly: charticles. Isn't it about time?
David Remnick: If we did publish them, they would still be a thousand words long. Miniatures aren't the house specialty. Except the cartoons.

Retirement communities boost attractiveness with aquatics facilities
The parents of baby boomers grew up swimming in pools built in the 1920s and 1930s by city leaders worried that young people would drown in nearby lakes and rivers during summer heat waves.
They were mesmerized by Olympian swimming champion Johnny Weissmuller, who played Tarzan in those 1930s classic films. And a new film genre – the swimming extravaganza – was created for Esther Williams, swimming champion of the 1940s.
So when the boomers swam into childhood in great numbers in the late 1950s and early 1960s, their parents willingly approved bonds to build municipal pools. In those pools, boomers learned to swim and socialize. Rich kids swam alongside poor kids.
As boomers age, pools may again become an important gathering space – and not just in the summer.
Residential communities, hoping to attract aging boomers, are betting that if they build aquatics centers, boomers will choose their retirement communities over those without pools.
Riverview Retirement Community in Spokane opened a state-of-the-art aquatics facility just two months ago.
"The residents want to show it off," said Jennifer Corppetts, aquatics and fitness director. "The residents' 'kids' are in their 50s, and they are coming here and swimming in the evening."
Miracle waters
In the 1985 movie "Cocoon," aliens protect their loved ones in a private swimming pool charged with a life force. When residents of a retirement community nearby discover and swim in the pool, they suddenly walk brisker, look and feel younger, recover their zest for life. It's a miracle.
When you sit with five pool regulars from Riverview, it feels like "Cocoon: Spokane Style."
The residents use the new 13,000-square-foot aquatics center every day, and they also used the pool this bigger one replaced.
The five residents, ranging in age from 74 to 89, have faced serious health challenges.
Camilla Phillipson, 83, had two knee replacements and is recovering from foot surgery. Ellie Prouty, 81, had a mastectomy and serious stomach surgery.
In the past decade, Dennis Hill, 74, underwent two knee replacements, had a heart attack and stroke and then lost his wife to a stroke. He gained 60 pounds. He withdrew.
"It kind of saved my life," he said of exercising. "We have a blast."
The "we" includes his wife of two years, Kay Dirks-Hill, 74. He met her at Riverview. They are in the pool together every day, walking against the current in the facility's lazy river.
Wally Phillipson, 89, goes to water aerobics three times a week.
"It gets you up in the morning," he said. "I play golf and it builds up my stamina."
Outside Waterworks
Retirement communities, no matter how welcoming on the outside, face challenges coaxing nonresidents inside.
Some still picture "old folks homes" as dark, smelly, depressing, unaware that many now feature sports bars, small movie theaters, spas and pools.
So the challenge: Get people in the door, especially boomers, the next generation of residents.
No one is quite sure where and how boomers will choose to live in their 70s, 80s and beyond.
The retirement community industry's building binge during the past three decades was fueled by the parents of boomers who sold off family homes and moved into the communities. Many of these older communities are now reinventing themselves to attract boomers.
Newer retirement communities are built with the future in mind.
Evergreen Fountains Senior Living Community in Spokane Valley opened in January 2008. The community focused on fitness and healing therapy from the get-go. Its pool – heated to 88 degrees – and its trainers and classes are certified by the Arthritis Foundation.
"The pool was instrumental in us leasing up," said Gene Arger, the community's marketing director. "We're about 95 percent occupied."
The community's 130 residents range in age from 60 to 99 and "about 85 percent participate in some sort of wellness program, from the pool to the walking club," Arger said.
Three times a week, Evergreen offers an Outside Waterworks class for Spokane-area residents. It costs $10 a class.
"The purpose was to bring people from the community into the facility and get to know our community," Arger said.
Sharron Loveall, 70, heard about the class and joined.
"I've lost some weight and I've got more muscles," the Otis Orchards woman said.
She's slightly older than the regulars – boomers in their 60s.
Loveall lives in her own home and never considered moving to a retirement community. Her experience in the pool changed her mind.
"I've learned how much fun they have together," she said. "It's like a home."
Three Affinity Living Communities, for active adults 55 and older, opened in the Inland Northwest in the past year. This summer, Affinity offered "classroom space" – its saltwater pools – to participants in ACT 2, a Community Colleges of Spokane program for lifelong learners.
At Affinity pools on the South Hill and the North Side, ACT 2 participants now take Aqua Zumba and Aquatics Fitness classes.
Cecil Rinker, director of operations for Affinity, said: "Our residents can take the class and never have to leave home, and we have new outside people coming to our community that just may fall in love with the Affinity lifestyle."
Children welcome
Isolation is a killer as we age.
It shrinks brain cells. Attacks the immune system. Hastens dying.
In water aerobics classes, participants bond with one another.
"It's a social thing," said Kay Dirks-Hill about the water classes at Riverview. "If you don't show up, you get phone calls. 'What happened? Aren't you well?' "
Retirement communities have been dubbed "gray ghettos" by aging experts who believe they isolate older people, especially if young people don't visit. But kids love pools, no matter where they are located.
At Riverview, the pool is open seven days a week, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Family members are welcome any time, as long as a resident remains with them.
"With this hot weather, we've had many residents with their grandchildren," said Riverview's Corppetts. "The lazy river is an attraction."
Riverview also opens its aquatics center to employees at any time, and their families are welcome Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
On land, grandparents sometimes lose ability to keep up with the grandchildren – can't as easily play tag, throw softballs, dunk basketballs, jump on trampolines, play hopscotch.
"Being in water restores motion and movement that is more difficult as we age," Rinker said. "Being in the water makes us feel like the clock turned back a bit. That just has to be good for the soul."
Jaime Hopoi, physical therapist at St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute, outlined five physical benefits of swimming, water aerobics and hydrotherapy:
• Helps with joint mobility
"Weight bearing exercises can be hard on your joints and the pool allows you a lot more movement without it taxing the body."
• Helps with flexibility
"As you get older, you get stiffer," Hopoi said. "If your muscles are tight and not moving well, it adds more pain and discomfort."
• Increases cardiovascular capacity
"You may be only able to walk 10 minutes (on land) before you're really fatigued or in pain, but in the water you can go for an hour and get exercise you couldn't do outside the water."
• Helps with balance
"When you are in the water, you have a resistance force and all your postural muscles are working to keep you balanced."
• Speeds up healing after surgery
"We do a lot with total knee and hip surgeries when it's just too painful to move on those joints or the incision is hurting or the muscles are really tense. Water helps relax the muscles and when you move them more, the joints heal faster."
Swimming through history
• In 2004, a University of Chicago evolutionary biologist and his team found a 375-million- year-old fossil fish that emerged from water to breathe air. "At some levels, we're extremely similar genetically to fish," said biologist Neil Shubin.
• In Egypt, thousands of years ago, swimming was so common that several hieroglyphs depicted it.
• Roman Empire leader Julius Caesar escaped from the angry masses in Alexandria by throwing himself in the sea and swimming the equivalent of six lengths of a modern Olympic pool – clenching in his teeth his sword and cloak.
• Swimming fell out of favor in the Middle Ages, due to church censure of the "pagan" activity and worry about diseases in contaminated water.
• Benjamin Franklin believed that swimming cured most ills, including diarrhea and insomnia. He created the first swim paddles.
• In 1926, when American Gertrude Ederle swam the English Channel, 60,000 women were inspired to earn American Red Cross swimming certificates.
• Whites-only policies in public swimming pools in the early and middle 20th century meant that generations of African Americans grew up with no swimming tradition.
