Radish Tartine
"Of course!" I answered. Alex' son is an avid radish eater and enjoys the very spicy ones.
Every spring and well into summer we plant radishes in our garden. I prefer heirloom varieties, picking packages with as many different kinds I can find.
Each radish has a slightly different taste and consistency. The long white ones are very buttery, the purple ones spicy. Some of them don't hit you with their spice until you've had a second bite.
While I've seen recipes for pickled or roasted radishes or radishes with a bit of butter, I prefer eating them plain with a pinch of salt.
I've always had a bad feeling when cutting of the green tops and then tossing them onto the compost heap. Wasn't there something I could do with them? On their own, I find them a bit bland, a bit like eating grass, but with the addition of a bit of basil, they make a nice pesto. Add yet another bit of mayonnaise or yogurt and you've got a nice spread for a sandwich.
I love radishes and they are so easy to grow!
Radish Tartine
- 1 bunch of radishes
- garlic
- walnuts
- basil
- olive oil
- mayonnaise/yogurt
- hard boiled eggs, sliced
- sliced country bread
- salt
In a blender, mix the radish leaves some basil, walnuts and olive oil to make a pesto. Add mayonnaise or yogurt to taste.
Spread the radish leaf pesto on some bread and top with the sliced eggs. Scatter thinly sliced radishes over the top and sprinkle with salt.

Time for cleaning out some toys!
With the help of some plastic garbage bags and a lot of coffee, I began to tackle my son's toy area. Grandma took him out of the house for the afternoon (so he wouldn't think I was meanly throwing his things away) and I quickly found myself looking at some of the toys he'd acquired for the very first time. Now don't get me wrong, I look at most of the stuff, I smile, I say thank you to the giver. But sometimes he's given things that I never have the chance to see before he "puts it away" and it gets lost to the light of day. Incredibly, I found a Super Bowl VIII bear that looks like it has never been touched and found myself wondering how old it was (could it have been made as a set post-1974?), and how many were made (was I sitting on a rare find?).
That got me to thinking how so many people out there who haven't bothered to clean their kid's toy area for a while may have valuable vintage items in their homes, and don't even know about it! Sometimes when older people give toys to children, they aren't just giving them a new toy, they are giving them something that their kids used to play with. But if there are no kids in the house, they don't see a reason to hold onto it, so they give it away. Sometimes these toys are worth a lot of money (sometimes they are just worth a lot in the sentimental department), so next time you go to clean out & donate your children's toys, really take a look at what you are throwing in that bag. I actually had this item in the donation bag (my son never played with it) when I happened to actually read the front of the shirt. I thought it was just a bear wearing a Dolphins outfit.
All in all, today was so tiring, but so worth it. I have a bear that is possibly worth some money, my son's toys are clean, my house is clean (at least until he gets back with grandma), and I can take three entire garbage bags of toys out of my house and give them to Goodwill. Donating is a great thing to do when you are cleaning out your house. Toys are one of those things that don't usually re-sell well at garage sales, and for the few bucks you will make at your garage sale, you are better off letting Goodwill make those dollars and knowing that you helped out. Plus, donations are tax-exempt, and they will gladly give you a receipt with the approximate value of your donation if you bring your items directly to the store.
And as an extra bonus for me, the baby fell asleep while watching me sort through everything, and when I was done I had a glass of wine and a few minutes of sanity to myself.
3 comments:
Congrats for going through all those toys and bringing some sanity back to the play area in your home. And I'm glad the baby fell asleep, too! We always did this at our house, and Goodwill benefits as much as you!ReplyDelete

Horrendous Apple ' Keylogger ' Flaw Lets Hackers See Anything You Do Upon The new iphone 4
Technician safety and security service provider FireEye has observed a defect in Apple's iPhone computer program that lets online hackers keep track of everything you do, impression and kind for your iPhone.
The flaw uses the way that iPhone allows sure software function on the "foundation" even while you're trying other factors. Every time you take note of iTunes or Pandora, for example, the background music represents in the track record, letting you proceed surfing the web or examining Facebook . com with no need of disturbing the tunes.
But FireEye says that when you are an software extends in backdrop it may well keep an eye on what you're executing on the phone, inclusive of traffic monitoring the thing you form in the touchscreen display. The flaw is the advanced vulnerability for iPhone due to prior to this "keylogger" mobile nanny iphone keylogger malicious software could only course the thing you form with an exact key board. The protection good thing about the touch-screen is usually that the monitor is simply a particular monster undifferentiated control key. Not more, as indicated by FireEye:
We have developed a resistant-of-idea "overseeing" software on low-jailbroken iOS 7..by gizmos. This "monitoring" application can capture each of the customer stroke/push situations inside of the qualifications, like, touches on the screen, the house tab press, quantities icon hit and TouchID media, and afterwards this software can deliver all customer occurrences to the remote host, as found in Fig.1. Possibilities attackers can make use of this kind of facts to reconstruct just about every single individuality the recipient inputs.
The flaw even enables hackers know when you're transforming the quantity buttons down or up. We observed this announcement most important on Ars Technica, which famous that FireEye's alert says that the tracked information are often transferred to a isolated hosting server.
It's your second large protection space in Apple's iOS wireless operating-system to get media this week. In the past we informed you about "Gotofail," a susceptibility that has an affect on just about every Apple machine, even if it's an iPhone, apple ipad, or desktop or laptop or pc desktop. Gotofail is the flaw inside a file encryption utilized to make trades like the debit card purchases get over the internet. That defect continues to be permanently fixed with down-loadable network updates – which you could understand on this page.
Keylogger hacks have been constructed for iPhone until now, but these types of pieces of malicious software only worked tirelessly on "jailbroken" phones that have been unlocked from Apple's structure settings that among other things tether your mobile to your specialized cellular company. Anyone who didn't crack their very own smartphone stayed shielded, to put it simply.
It's worth noting that FireEye is saying this susceptibility exist – it's not implying that online hackers use it, and yet.
Up until the time Apple inc evolves a correct, we have a workaround will make certain that applications in a backdrop aren't "hearing" to what you're carrying out with regards to your smartphone: You may swap them away, by increase-tapping the house press button and hand swiping upwards any application that appears to be inside navigation on smaller portion of the display screen. This shuts programs that happens to be functioning on the backdrop.

Very few of the world's plant species are used for food, feed, fuel, shelter, industry, medicine and the improvement of environment. The risk associated with the dependence on few crops for the requirements will be higher in future due to major changes in climate. The wealth of underutilised fruit tree species is becoming important in crop diversifican in the household farms, community gardens and agroforestry. To achieve this, there is a need to build a strategy based on complete understanding, the building of market chains from the producer to end-user. Key elements in these chains are: (a) identification of existing demand for a product or stimulating demand for new products, (b) market intelligence relating to existing and potential markets (c) transport infrastructure, (d) local, national or international development of appropriate processing and packaging technologies (e) quality control (f) identification and propagation of high quality planting materials (g) identification of appropriate farming systems and production methods. Addressing these issues will enhance the conservation, production and use of underutilised fruits.

To John Adams from Abigail Smith Adams, 22 May 1800
Union Brigade thursday Morg 22 May []
My dearest Friend
The rain comeing on the morning I left Bristol, I reachd [. . .] about noon and remaind there untill yesterday morning when I procceeded to Brunswick Soon after I got there the Col. & Major Ripley arrived, and informd me that mrs. Smith would expect me to dinner. We accordingly sit out and got here about 2 oclock. The Col. was not able to be absent as Gen'll. Hamilton was on his way to <
Capp> Camp—and arrived about 5 oclock in the afternoon at the village and is to Break[f]ast here this mor'g
I found the officers with their harps hung upon the Willows from the late resolutions of Congress—but they Submit with a good grace. I suppose the Col. has written to you respecting one Brigade—the incorporation of which he seems to have much at Heart, tho he says there are a large proportion of the officers <
who> now in the Service, whom never will be capable of Such service as a Country ought to receive from men bearing commissions, that in his own Regiment there is but one Capt who deserves the Name—. there are some in the Brigade, Men of real military talents, and Men who are now trained to Service, seasoned, arm'd &c. who are willing to inlist and fill up the Regiments which Congress have ordered still to be kept up of Engineers & articificers. He also thinks it best for those Men who are at a distance from their Homes to be taken by their officers on to the places where they were inlisted previous to the time of disbanding, or otherways a great Number of Men will be turnd loose, perhaps disgrace themselves.
Nine oclock. I have just returnd from a Reveiw of the troops which Genll. Hamiton and North have given them, and I regreted exceedingly that you could not see them before they were seperated. Major Tousard will tell you how well they performed. I acted as the Aurora says, as your proxy praised and admired, and regreeted &c.
I have only time to add my kindest Love to you; pray you to take good care of your Health My Coachman & horses perform well I am just going off / yours affectionatly,

ALS, DLC:GW; two ADfS's, MHi: Heath Papers. The text of one of the drafts is almost identical in wording to the text of the ALS. The text of the other draft varies greatly from the text of the other two documents. For significant differences in the text of the variant draft, see nn. 1, 2, 4, and 5.
1. In the variant draft this sentence is preceded by a paragraph that reads: "On the 23d Inst. I arrived at this place where I found but very few Troops" (see also Wilson, Heath's Memoirs description begins Rufus Rockwell Wilson, ed. Heath's Memoirs of the American War. 1798. Reprint. New York, 1904. description ends , 114).
2. See GW to the Commanders of the Connecticut and Massachusetts Militias Marching to Peekskill, 24 December. Jonathan Warner (1744–1803) served as colonel during the Lexington alarm in April 1775 and a brigadier general of Massachusetts militia from 1776 to 1780. The variant draft reads: "The Militia of this State are now coming in—none have as yet arrived from the Eastward—I sent out an Express the day before yesterday to meet them but he is not as yet returned—but I have just been informed that they are on the Road & pretty well advanced." Later in the variant draft, Heath writes: "My Express is just returned from Danbury—Brigadier General Warner has arrived at that place, with Three or Four Companies only on yesterday, but more expected hourly—General Lincoln is said to be on the Road—This day we have a most severe Snow Storm, which I am afraid will retard the March of the Militia."
3. For the sending of this money, see GW to Heath, 16 Dec., n.8.
4. The variant draft reads: "There are here Five Regiments of General Parsons's Brigade[,] Five of General George Clinton's, One of General James Clinton's, & General Wadsworth's Brigade, to be paid out of this money, besides furnishing the recruiting Officers—Col. Read & Col. Little are also left on this Side of the River, having as they inform me near Two Thirds of their Regiments here including Convalescents & the Sick—they are importuning that their Regiments may also be paid off here—the State of Col. Reads has I suppose before this been laid before your Excellency as he some days since sent forward an Officer for that purpose—Col. Douglass has also sent an Abstract, examined by the Paymaster General before he left this place—The Col. Sollicits that it may be paid off here—If the last mention'd Regiments are to be paid here, a further Sum of money will be Soon wanted."
5. The variant draft reads: "I am afraid there will be some difficulty in ascertaining the number of Arms, which the different Regiments have received, as I am informed that the Books containing the Accounts of those delivered at Cambridge, were left there—I shall send for Col. Cheever, who is at Fishkills, to morrow, and obtain the best Accounts he may be possessed of."

Expand Your Interior Outdoors Interior and Health
Posted by Merie Kent on Jun 04 2011
One of the best ways to make your home bigger is by expanding your indoors outside. Many people don't think about this too often but it is a great way to make your home feel bigger, it is healthy to breathe the outdoor air, you will love the atmosphere, and it is a cheap way to do a make-shift add-on to your home.
Creating an outdoor room is an excellent way to make your home feel and look bigger. Many people don't think about using their back yard or their patio space to create a comfortable atmosphere to sit in. If you live in a desert region where you get little to no snow, this will be easy for you. If you live in an area where there is a lot of snow, your outdoor area might be seasonal and closed off during the winter months. An outdoor space gives you more room at your place of residence to lounge and relax. If you have a lot of people living in your home, the more space you have the less people are living on top of each other and more comfortable you are.
An outdoor area is also healthy for you to breathe and the sunlight gives you necessary Vitamin D. Many people who spend all of their time indoors eventually develop a Vitamin D deficiency. When you are older, this can lead to disease and other problems. In addition, small children running around a home require corrugated cardboard edge protectors on the table ends so they don't get hurt. You might have edge protectors on every table in the home. Not only is an outdoor space healthier for you but it is safer for children when you don't have to put edge protectors on the outdoor furniture.
Some people never use their backyard. They barely know what the backyard of their home looks like. When you redesign your back patio and your backyard as an extra living space, there are many things you can do. These things include add trees, flowers, benches and swings, a garden, a sitting area, a fire pit, a makeshift waterfall and much more. You can create your own Utopia right outside in the backyard. The last thing you will worry about is the fact you didn't put corrugated cardboard edge protectors on the furniture so the kids didn't get hurt. This is because they will be busy playing outside and away from the furniture.
Extending your home to the outdoors is a great way to add a new room to your home without paying thousands of dollars in construction fees. You can plant palm trees, banana trees, flowers and bushes to make the exterior look tropical if you like. Trees are low cost and they look fabulous. They provide privacy and create an atmosphere that is relaxing. Just make sure that if you purchase furniture for your outdoor area, they provide fragile shipment protection. If you purchase plastic furnishings for outdoors, you won't need fragile shipment protection.

from a sermon on Matthew 13, July 24, 2011
"The Kingdom is Like…"
C.H. Dodd's defined a parable as "a metaphor or simile drawn from nature or common life, arresting the hearer by its vividness or strangeness, and leaving the mind in sufficient doubt about its precise application to tease it into active thought" (Dodd, 5).
In today's reading from Matthew 13 we hear several short parable that fit the description perfectly. Vividly drawn from nature or everyday jobs, they compare the kingdom of God to wildly different things, and then Jesus concludes by asking the disciples, "Do you get it?" "Yes," the disciples chime.
But what are we suppose to learn. How are we suppose to think about the Kingdom of God (or Heaven as Matthew prefers to put it).
"The Kingdom of God is like…"
Sometimes I suppose folks hear "the kingdom of God" and assume it must be the church in some way that Jesus is talking about. Only twice in the gospels do we find the word "church." The "called-out-together" group of followers that will grow out of the earthly disciples. But church doesn't seem to fit the descriptions Jesus gives of God's kingdom. For one the kingdom is not limited to a gathering of people. It isn't an organization Jesus is describing.
Not infrequently people perk up at that word "Kingdom" and associate what Jesus is talking about with something political. Pilate was just sure that must be under what he was preaching and kept pressing Jesus about that title "Christ." Didn't that mean "King"? And so wasn't Jesus talking about some competitor to the Empire? Focusing on the Kingdom was his misunderstanding. Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of the world. It is not like some kind of Empire. Not a political regime. You can't equate it with America or Israel or the Holy Roman Empire.
No, it seems that the emphasis is on "God" in "the kingdom of God." That is, "kingdom" comes with a lot of baggage that we foist onto God. But is should be the other way, God redefines rule.
So some translate "Basilea" as "rule" – (you can remember Basilea because Basil meant king of herbs). Clarence Jordan put it in Cotton Patch version "the God movement." to de-emphasize organizational image.
But the emphasis is on God. God defines the rule, the movement, the kind of kingdom. And that is where the strangeness of it all comes from. We do not always know what to make of God and the way he operates in the world.
God's rule ought to go without saying. I mean, God is the creator, after all. Doesn't God control it all? But God really did make the world as something that has its own reality. Although we and the entire universe could not exist apart from God's act in creation, God has given the parts of creation a certain amount of freedom. I am not a jazz musician, but I have tried to read some of that kind of music, and what scares me are the pieces that go along and then you come to a section that says, "Improvise for 16 measures." Well, God has made the world with a plot but only a sketchy script. A lot of times we are on our own to improvise on the theme.
The world is not a puppet show. God's rule, God's presiding, does not completely extinguish the capacity God gives each of us to have room to come up with our life story.
Perhaps the first clue to "kingdom of God" is in Jesus prayer. He taught us to pray first of all addressing God as independent of creation," Our Father who are in Heaven." God is not to be confused with things that are part of the furniture of the world. "Hallowed by thy name," thy nature is holy and awesome.
But then we, who are part of the world, are to pray that the high and lifted up God somehow come to bear on this world God made. We pray that God be the one whose will, desire, intentions for creation get fulfilled. And here we have the Kingdom of God explained in the next phrase, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
How does God's will come to pass in my life and your life? In history? How does God's Kingdom come?
Pressing up against these parables is this reading from Romans 8, and it gives some clue. Paul all along in Romans has been dealing with the big picture of the gospel. He has been describing the quandary of human existence. How we were created to reflect God's glory, but we have turned aside, – all of us. And as a result we fall short of the glory of God. We are so caught up in sin that even when we approve of what is right, we turn right around and do wrong anyway.
The good news is that God has declared his decision not to condemn us for what we have been, but it seems that we are still powerless to become what God dreams of. We are like fat hens flapping around the barnyard with our stubby silly wings and do more than coasting for a few feet.
Then comes chapter 8 and Paul says here what we could not do on our own, God does by pouring himself into us by the Holy Spirit. God's life comes in and lifts up out of the mess. The Spirit never cancels us out. The Spirit doesn't replace us. The Spirit just underwrites our spiritual advance. We live off of more resources than are in us.
The spirit in us means the same thing as "being in Christ." And that connection is what will lead us out of our insufficiency, our bondage, our not-enoughness.
Paul mentions prayer in particular. When we pray, "Abba", "Our Father", the thing that makes that statement convincingly real is that God happens to be inside of us, encouraging us. The second experience of Spirit in prayer is when Paul says we don't know how to pray or what to pray for. When he are at a loss, the Spirit in us feels around in our heart and names our need and lifts it to the Father because, being Go,d the Spirit already knows what God's will for us is. And so our messy notes get turned into poetry by the Divine Ghost writer.
All of this to suggest how God operates in the middle of us so that God's will can be done on earth, in us, just as it is in heaven.
Jesus describes this kind of action with the picture of a woman making a big batch of bread. She hides a little bit of yeast in this big pile of flour. The yeast works in the flour to transform it. Starches are turned to sugar to alcohol, and the lump of dough gets giddy with inspiration, and grows and grows.
Kingdom of God is like someone hiding the Spirit in us, and soon our life is expanding and we become life-giving bread.
God's stuff in our stuff. Co-operating with us to make us a nourishment and delight in his good creation.
But Paul writes that it is not just our hearts that get changed. God is at work to transform the world. The kingdom of God is about all of history turning out to suit God.
In all things– and this includes all things, not just church things, not just pious, proper things, but things like holocausts and famines, great recessions and drug epidemics – in the messy things, not just the clean and nice things,
God is at work toward good.
Be careful! The verse did not say that all that is, is good. God doesn't intend all the messes around us. God created a world so wild that such things were possible. And sometimes we make such a mess that, as we read last week in Genesis 6, "God was sorry that he had made humans and was grieved." It did not have to be that way.
But when things are at their worse, God will not stop working things toward goodness, truth, and beauty. And God chooses to work in cooperation with those creatures who love him, who are called to share in that grand work.
Reading Bonhoeffer's biography (by Eric Metaxa, 2011), I am revisiting the scary time in Germany as Hitler rose to power and gradually frightened people into submitting to great and terrible things. By a series of wrong turns the German people found themselves in a terrible mess. But God worked even then for good with people like Bonhoeffer who were called of God to cooperate in bringing a good out of the evil.
God's Kingdom is like a fisherman that throws the net out and all the fish get brought in – along with boots and trash. God's kingdom will receive everyone. But like a fisherman, God will not keep the trash.
Only stuff that turns out right will be kept.
I was reading a Muslim mystic the other day who said, "To God there is no difference between a saint and a penitent. A saint who never sinned and a penitent who sinned but now wants to turn away from sin– both he said are people who are now focused on God. It is pleasing God that directs their future, and for that reason God will bless them both. It is not our past that God judges but our true intention. Your past may be pocked with shame, but what matters is that you have a new heart now.
Everything that is not on its way to pleasing God is thrown in the fire.
There is a story.
Catholic priest who is doing his utmost to keep the sinners in his congregation on the straight and narrow. In a very aggressive and domineering way the priest leans forward in his pulpit, leers at the congregation and says, "And as for the causes of sin and all evildoers, they will be cast into the furnace of fire where there will be wailing and the gnashing of teeth. Just when the priest thinks he has got everyone awestruck, an elderly woman up the back with no teeth or false teeth calls out: "What if you ain't got teeth?" In a split second the unfazed priest replies: "Madame, teeth will be provided!"
The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed a farmer planted. Small seed became a great bush and provided shelter and food for birds.
How does God reign come into the world?
With small steps.
We tend to focus on grand gestures and tremendous spectacle. Henry Nouwen described the second temptation of Christ the temptation to be spectacular. We really discount the small gestures.
But if we do we will miss the way God's kingdom comes. Each time you could be snide and instead you are kind. Each moment you could take the safe way but instead were courageous to speak up. Each time you could have given way to hate your enemy, but instead prayed for them. The kingdom gained some ground.
Bonaro Overstreet attended a meeting dealing with some community problem. As the meeting progressed, she became aware of an individual who denigrated every idea with words such as, "Oh, well, that won't do any good." Or "That's too little, too late." Bonaro Overstreet said she went home and in a flash of inspiration wrote, "Stubborn Ounces" with the sub-title, "To One who Doubts the Worth of Doing Anything if You Can't Do Everything." It bears repeating:1
"You say the little efforts that I make
will do no good: they never will prevail
to tip the hovering scale
where justice hangs in balance.
I don't think
I ever thought they would.
But I am prejudiced beyond debate
in favor of my right to choose which side
shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight."
[Bonaro Overstreet, "Hands Laid Upon the Wind," p.15]
But do you know mustard seeds? "The Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder (who died in 79AD while investigating the eruption of Mount Vesuvius) writes: Mustard grows entirely wild, though it is improved by being transplanted: But on the other hand when it has once been sown it is scarcely possible to get the place free of it, as the seed when it falls germinates at once."2
Goodness multiplies. The rule of God is contagious.
But it seeds itself in small deeds.
Shane Claiborne quotes British songwriter Martyn Joseph as he writes about the quiet revolution of Jesus:
"What a strange way to start a revolution. . . And what a strange way to end a world tour." We worship the seed that died. The revolution will not be televised. It will not be brought to you by Fox News with commercial interruptions. It will not be sandwiched between ads to accelerate you life or be all you can be. There will be no re-runs. The revolution will be live. The revolution will be in the streets. The revolution will be cleaning toilets and giving another blanket to Karen. The revolution will not be talking about poverty in hotel banquet rooms. It will be eating beans and rice with Ms. Sunshine and watching Back to the Future with our neighbor Mary. Get ready, friends… God is preparing us for something really, really – small.3
The Kingdom of God is right here, right now. Act to make it yours.
In 1925, at Dayton, Tennessee, William Jennings Bryan was an associate prosecutor in the trial of the school teacher John Thomas Scopes. Scopes had taught the biological theory of evolution to his students in defiance of a state law prohibiting the teaching of doctrine contrary to the Bible. The defense attorney was Clarence Darrow. Bryan won what became known as "The Monkey Trial," and Scopes was fined $100. But Darrow's merciless cross-examination humiliated Bryan and dealt a fierce blow to fundamentalism. Some say the trial broke the heart of William Jennings Bryan. Several days after the trial ended, Bryan died. Darrow says of Bryan, "A giant once lived in that body. But the man got lost, lost because he was looking for God too high up and too far away." 4
God is not far away. Seeking you can find the pearl of great price. Sometimes without intentionally seeking, you find it like a man discovered hidden treasure. It is here close at hand. Make it yours whatever the cost.
The kingdom of God is coming wherever people are discovering the Jesus life is what makes life truly rich. Judy played Jesu, Priceless Treasure and the choir sometimes sings that arrangement of the Spiritual Give Me Jesus – "you can have all the rest– Give me Jesus." The kingdom comes when people make that commitment to sell out for Jesus.
Only one by one we make the choice and God's kingdom will cover the earth as water cover the sea, but only because one by one we joined the swell of people who embrace God's will for us each.
God's kingdom is present and it is forever. Nothing can defeat it. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Though we go through hell on earth, yet in the end we will be more than conquerors. God will not let even death take us from him. What he begins in us is forever. Glory hallelujah!. Amen

The Bushey Family immigrated from Quebec, Canada in the late 1800's, and settled in Oswego, New York.
Ira S. Bushey, much like Michael Moran, (who founded the Moran Towing Corporation) drove mules on the Erie Canal. Longing for prosperity, in 1895 founded a boat repair business in Jersey City, New Jersey. He would later relocate his business in 1900 to Staten Island, New York and finally in 1905 to Brooklyn, New York in the Gowanus Canal at the foot of Court Street.
His business would prosper there for many years to follow. The shipyard was named and known as Ira S. Bushey and Sons, Incorporated. The yard for many years built new vessels for Bushey, the United States Government, and various other private owners. Repair work was also performed there as well.
Around the early 1920's, the Bushey family elected to invest heavily in the fuel transportation business. Cars were starting to appear at a fast pace, and many homes, factories were converting from coal to oil.
On Nov. 14, 1925, three partners Spencer, Toner, and Bushey formed Spentonbush Fuel Transport Service, Incorporated. Thus, from these three names Spentonbush became a key and very successful operating company. Tugs and barges were built by Bushey to operate in the Erie Canal when it was open and "in season" to transport needed fuel to the upstate communities. These vessels, along with many coastal tankers (some built by Bushey), owned by Spentonbush delivered fuel up and down the Eastern Seaboard. In addition to the shipyard and Spentonbush, Bushey also owned Sheridan Transportation Company, Red Star Towing and Transportation Company, both companies owning tugs and barges.
In 1931, Patchogue Oil Company was added to the conglomerate. This company had oil terminals in Patchogue and the terminal in Brooklyn on the Gowanus Canal next to the shipyard. The Bushey's now had "all bases covered", and were very successful over the next forty six years.
However, on June 24, 1977 the company was acquired by the Amerada Hess Corporation.

Aid for Japan
Mr François Stifani, EX-Grand Master of the GLNF has written to the WMs to make them aware (as if it was necessary) of the dramatic situation in Japan. He has suggested to Brethren and Lodges to contribute their alms bags from the next Lodge meeting for Japan. This is a most laudable proposition and is to be recommended to each and every Lodge of the GLNF.
However, in the light of the opacity (sorry for the pun !!!) of the accounts of the GLNF and its various satellites we strongly advise WMs who choose to participate in this initiative to send the funds collected directly to the French Red Cross (or any other REGISTERED CHARITY of your choice).
Above all, DO NOT SEND MONEY for furtherance via the GLNF or any of its satellites.

Sony Introduces the World's First Full-Frame Compact Digital Camera
New Compact Cyber-shot® RX1 Camera features 35mm full-frame image sensor and wide aperture f/2 lens
SAN DIEGO, Sept 12, 2012 – For the first time, all the benefits of full-frame digital photography are available in a palm-sized compact camera.
The extraordinary new Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-RX1 digital camera packs an advanced 35mm full-frame 24.3 MP Exmor® CMOS sensor and exceptionally Carl Zeiss T*t 35mm f/2.0 fixed lens into a highly portable, lightweight camera body. Measuring approximately 4.5 inches wide by 3 inches tall and weighing just over a pound, it's significantly smaller and lighter than any full-frame DSLR yet sacrifices nothing in terms of image quality, HD video quality or manual control.
"The new Cyber-shot RX1 is truly 'one of a kind', offering a unique combination of size and performance that's never before been realized in the world of digital cameras," said Yosuke Tomoda, director of the Cyber-shot camera business at Sony Electronics. "With its highly advanced sensor and fast 35mm f/2.0 lens packed into a small, portable camera body, professionals, enthusiasts and advanced hobbyists can experience the world of full-frame imaging in new and different ways than they ever thought possible."
The new camera's unified lens and body design allows performance that few interchangeable lenses can match. The Carl Zeiss lens not only delivers spectacular image quality all the way to the edges of each frame, it incorporates a near-silent in-lens shutter and is far more compact than comparable lenses of interchangeable design. The camera also features full manual control options and an intuitive user interface, making it easy for photographers to adjust all settings quickly and easily.
The 35mm full-frame sensor inside the RX1 camera more than doubles the area of APS-C sensors commonly found in much bulkier DSLR cameras, allowing it to take in significantly more light while capturing content. With an effective resolution of 24.3 megapixels, it's capable of resolving the finest image details and most subtle textures for rich color reproduction and an impressively broad dynamic range.
The large sensor size also boosts the camera's sensitivity range to a generous ISO 100 – 25600, with the option to shoot as low as ISO 50 in expanded sensitivity mode. Similarly, ISO settings as high as 102400 can be achieved using Multi Frame Noise Reduction. This allows the camera to capture natural, low noise handheld images in near-dark conditions without needing flash.
The fast, bright Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm lens is a versatile choice for portraits, street photography and everyday shooting. This premium lens features newly designed optics including an Advanced Aspherical (AA) glass element, which contributes to the camera's extremely compact dimensions without sacrificing optical performance.
The lens' wide F2 maximum, 9-bladed circular aperture enable beautiful background defocus ('bokeh') effects to rival or exceed professional-class DSLR camera lenses. Additionally, it features a macro switching ring on the lens barrel which instantly shortens the minimum focusing distance to approximately 20cm (from image plane), allowing the camera to capture small, close-up subjects with exquisite detail.
The Cyber-shot RX1 camera also features an enhanced BIONZ® processing engine that rapidly handles data from the Exmor® CMOS sensor and also powers full-resolution burst shooting at up to five frames per second. The powerful processor can output image data in 14-bit RAW format, giving advanced users total freedom to express their creative vision throughout the shooting and post-production processes.
Despite the camera's extraordinarily compact dimensions, the new Cyber-shot RX1 model offers a full range of manual control modes on par with typical high-end full-frame DSLR cameras. Dedicated lens rings allow for fingertip control of focus and aperture, while a DSLR-style Focus mode dial on the front of the camera enables easy switching between focus modes. Top-mounted exposure compensation and mode dials are strategically placed for simple access and operation, while custom function and AEL buttons on the back panel are also easily accessible.
The new camera features a Quick Navi mode that allows fast, intuitive adjustment of camera settings. This is especially useful when using the camera with an optional viewfinder (sold separately). A memory recall (MR) mode is accessible via the mode dial so photographers can store and instantly recall up to three sets of camera settings.
Other refinements include a MF Assist function that magnifies a portion of the image while framing to simplify fine focus adjustments, as well as a Peaking function that highlights sharply-focused areas of the image on screen.
Additionally, the RX1 camera features By Pixel Super Resolution digital zoom technology, which allows for magnification of image size without sacrificing pixel count. This results in far higher quality results than are achievable with conventional digital zoom.
A Smart Teleconverter function crops a central portion of the image sensor, boosting effective magnification by 1.4x or 2x realizing an effective 49mm or 70mm focal length. With the extremely high pixel count of the full-frame image sensor, even zoomed and cropped images maintain generous amounts of fine detail when blown up for large print sizes.
In addition to beautiful still images, the Cyber-shot RX1 compact camera can capture high-quality, low-noise Full HD movie footage in all lighting conditions at a choice of 60p or 24p (progressive) frame rates. There's a full complement of P/A/S/M exposure modes during video shooting for creative flexibility.
The new camera also features 13 different Creative Styles for fine-tuning images, plus a wide range of Picture Effect treatments. Further, it has Auto HDR and D-Range Optimizer, bracket shooting (Exposure, DRO or White Balance) and Auto HDR shooting modes, and there's a Digital Level Gauge that indicates camera pitch and camera roll on the LCD screen for straight, even landscape and architectural shots.

Someone may have commented on this, bit according to the spec sheet, this camera has no image stabilization for still shots. Ludicrous. And another $1k+ for all the accessories? Really? And I'm a Minolta/Sony guy for the last 20 years.
Netify (sony a700 w/ grip, Tammy 17-50 f/2.8, Sigma 500mm f/4.5 prime, sony handycam hdr-12 / 120GB hard drive / AVCHD video)
I'm waiting for the Nikon's F mount version to use with my collection of F lenses and the new Zeiss UP.
: )
With a pancake lens, this camera kicks ass.
Tiny camera with big sensor.
Against the odds.
Isn't it a standard X flash Hotshoe on the top? Sony finally ditched the awkward Minolta hotshoe, good move!
I saw the camera today (Tuesday 18th) at the Photokina - unfortunately no hands-on view as all models were kept safe under glass. Looks magnificent, very promising!
The pop-up flash incl. it's mecanism however is even worse, fragile and tiny, not to say ridiculous than one could have hoped from the first release notes it would not.
The "tomb" for it within the body's top, i.e. the pop-down space, may measure an estimated 1,2 cm². So, for the sake of a serious camera - just leave that flash and use the hole for something nice!
Everybody seemed to like the camera. Hermann
Wonder what the boys who priced this were smoking? Probably the same as those who did the initial pricing for the Sigma SD1, or who did the licensing agreements for the BetaMax format (remember that?).
If it gets you that far from reality, perhaps I should try it. :)
FF sensors are expensive. The Carl Zeiss f/2 lens is expensive. Those two things alone would make expensive. Then, giving it optical stabilization, a leaf shutter, beautiful build quality, and compacting it all down to something that can fit in the palm of your hand will also make it expensive. Plus, consider that it's the first camera of its kind. All these things considered, the price is about right.
I guess this camera is aimed to the same Leica X2 target, basically is "only" $500 more expensive but I guess with a much higher IQ... still I rather have a Fuji X-100 for half the price.
The sutter is a leaf. At 1/2000. Your F stop may control when you can really use that high of a sutter speed. Good for electro sync. Also Carl Ziess Planar is top of the line, Sonnar is an also made. I have mostly seen it in tele lens. I do beleive it is a lens with a simpler formula. For the wide angle lens do they not use Biogon.The simplist is Tessar.
So many what Sony was thinking.
Here is my guess, There is a FF small size camera coming. R&D will be returned from FF camera, so expensive leaf shutter 35mm f2 zeiss camera still can have enough market to make money. For sure a FF e mount camera that take FF lens with an adaptor is just around the corner. In fact, the FF video camera already here. So look forward to a FF small compact camera with a body like this one. Would it come with some optional leaf shutter lenses? Well, hasselblad V series interchangable lenses are great to work with, it is great for day light flash. may be this coming camera is target for pro that likely to use day light flash. 1/2000 is very high for leaf shutter. Pros used to give up high lens speed, added cost of shutter in each lens, and lower max shutter speed. The CF lenses Vs the F lenses in V series explains why. I used to own 503cx and 2000FCM. This camera will allow image to show flash light to be much brighter than the sun light.
IQ must be good, but at $2800 it will also serve very well as a neck hanger...sort of cheaper version of M9
At least with a Leica hanging around your neck you can feel superior to the poor working folk, but a Sony?
Not to mention being able to change lenses with an M9.. Hardly a fair trade for the lower cost..
A 808 Pureview usually do a better work than this monster for street photography. People look at you and think "It's just a cell phone" and act normally. With this camera, your street pictures lack spontaneity. The only reason why I'd buy a FF mirrorless camera would be the chance to get my FD lenses back to life.
@SiliconVoid- A Leica M9 costs $6500. A Summicron-M 35mm f/2 costs $3200. The price of an RX1 is only $2800. Plus it has optical image stabilization, video, and a flash, none of which an M9 or Summicron-M has. And you can add an EVF, giving you all the advances viewfinder features that an EVF gives you. Plus, you have to remember that a lot of Leica shooters just shoot with only one lens anyway! So all things considered, it's a pretty darn GOOD trade for lower cost! Plus, the RX1 is more compact too!
A fool and his money are soon parted! Will there be 100 fools worldwide who buy this boondoggle?
At a price of almost $3,000 USD!!! Fixed lens...what was Sony thinking? 1/2000th max shutter speed...what was Sony thinking? Have to delve into a menu to make changes, such as shutter speed, etc...what was Sony thinking? No way to securely grip the camera with one hand...what was Sony thinking? No optical viewfinder...what was Sony thinking?
The list of what was Sony thinking is near endless. Pity the fool who buys into this boondoggle!
I totally see your point, just remember that its whats behind the camera that makes the art. comfortable convenient gear is just more comfortable and convenient it does not make better pictures. At the end of the day its just light being refracted onto a medium.
You are right with all.
But I nevertheless say a friendly hello to the RX1 because Sony is brave to build ideas and not only talking about.
... and give me hope that I will get a kind of "Digital Rollei 35" in the near future... (The Rollei 35 was my first camera and I'm missing it)
Over priced! Because RX1 is now on its own, no others enter into this FF compact DC market yet, suggested Nikon 1 should build a FF one and mark the price under 2000USD.
Sounds like you're just some poor, bitter guy.
It's a beautiful camera with great physical controls. Most shooters will stick it on aperture priority, change aperture with the aperture ring on the lens, and use the exposure comp dial to make adjustments from there. Who needs to "delve into menu to make changes" as you falsely claim?
As for needing to hold the camera with one hand, what self respecting shooter does one-handed shooting? Besides, there is an optional grip, an optional grip case, and I'm sure there will be third party options, too. And there is an OVF and EVF option too.
Looks like Sony gave this camera quite a lot of thought. Certainly more than you did when you wrote your post. LOL.
So are you done whining like a baby? LOL.
Seriously, though, most people are simply complaining because they'll never be able to afford one. You must complain about car manufacturers who make cars you can't afford either. Hahahaha.
Nice camera, nice features, but why would I spend that much money when I can get a Leica X2 for less? Lower the price and I will consider it.
Yes, Leica and Fuji are probably the toughest competitors for this Sony model.
Let's hope for an interesting shoot-out between them, here on dpreview!
Is there a market for a fixed lens 35mm true full frame camera? I don't know, but if there is, then Sony will have a winner with their RX1. Sony is really rolling the dice on this one. It does make sense for Sony to spread the cost of development of the A99 over two distinctly different camera form factors instead of doing an obvious lower cost A99 clone. Might as well explore the depths of mirrorless camera acceptance in the marketplace while you're out there. They will either win it all or lose it all. Time will tell.
What the heck is Sony smoking these days. $2800.00 for a point and shoot camera is crazy. A full frame sensor in this limited format (35mm) will be not allow much creativity. The DOF will be limited by the focal range of the lens.
I just don't know what they were thinking, don't they do market research? Hell I don't know this may sell one or two units, but I really can't see anyone willing to spend that kind of money on this camera.
Sure there will be those that have more money than sense, but how many of those are they. Why not buy a Leica X2 and save $900.00 and have quality camera.
They probably read all the posts on here moaning about the X100 not being full-frame ;)
Sony steps up to the plate, knocks the dirt from their cleats, a practice swing to loosen up while assessing their competitor...
Its a swing, and miss! Strike one.
The 'benefits' of a full frame sensor are all but lost without the ability to change lenses. A 35mm lens is just barely a wide angle lens. Sure it will be much wider than any APS-C user has seen on their cameras with a 35mm lens, but even the traditional/standard objective length for a wide angle is 28mm.
Back in the day there was a demand for 'film holders' with fixed lenses (justifiably at ~35mm also) but that market was met specifically because they were LESS EXPENSIVE.. Does Sony really think consumers want to spend as much as a good quality professional grade SLR only to end up with a fixed lens camera..? No lenses.. No viewfinder.. Not even EVF.. Not even a hybrid rangefinder style viewfinder.. A ~$2700 point and shoot..! Really?
The only positive, functional, thing about this will be the fostering of competition.
An interesting camera, but who's going to pay $2800 for a Sony fixed lens compact? Even if it is full-frame. Half the price then maybe...
would you look at that stunning 9 blade diaphram- Image the bokeh!
Look say what you want about Leica - they have 80 years of incredible designs, glass and heritage to warrant the price of their gear - they hit their mark with most everything they create. Now Sony wants us to think they can play at the same level as Leica - Lexis had to prove itself worthy of Benz money - they come close - albeit without a soul - but Sony? Look my advice to Sony would be to look at why Minolta is gone and then stop following their model - Minolta had great features in their cameras but couldn't build or buy glass. Until Sony figures out who they are and what they want to be when they grow up we will continue to get these near Genius or Retarded attempts - they do keep things interesting but I won't be buying into Sony until they can figure themselves out. (Leica, Nikon are decent business models - think mounts, compatibility and longevity)
Minolta had some superb lenses, most notably their M mount lenses for the CLE camera. Their 28mm blew the doors off my 28 Elmarit. Minolta's problem was redundancy--assuming an equivalent price level, there simply isn't any need for Minolta, Pentax, etc.
First Leica M body has build in optical rangefinder coupled to M mount that is an expensive precise piece of machinery and optics that takes a lot to manufacture on its own but let you focus manually accurately and swap lenses.
Second Leica M lenses are top notch among 35mm lenses. You want Leica M experience you have to purchase Leica M glass. I was using Konica HEXAR RF M lenses extensively in the past besides Leca M lenses so I know what I am talking about.
But this f2.0 Sony seems to be a perfect reporter companion or decent travel-family camera as well. However Sony does not deliver neither f0.9 no 50mm APO.
Leica is Leica, Ferrari is Ferrari :)
Looks great ...too expensive for my taste though ...and bank account. A definite step in the right direction by Sony though ...I hope others will follow.
Why not a little zoom?
No viewfinder but an optical viewfinder may work nicely attached to the flash mount. Still for the price it is very hard to justify such a purchase for most. Perhaps in 5 years such an instrument will be affordable and more common.
I would also assume such a camera with interchangeable lenses would be just around the corner.
Good job Sony!
Cute, but way pass the value sweet spot. Even if I had the money to buy one. I would be paranoid of an accident so I wouldn't use it much.
I am surprised that Sony decided to skip APS-C and go for full frame.
In APS-C it would have been less than $1,000 with plenty of quality.
I hope Sony sell a bunch of this just for trying.
Like the camera, but at that price, I'll pass.
How much do you want to bet that people will find a way to remove the lens and mount old manual focus lenses on this. Now that would be a hack I would like to see.
Nothing, because the leaf shutter is part of the lens so the camera would be left with no shutter.
Yes! My next camera! Oh wait? You can't change the lens? That is just weird.
Weird like the Fuji X100, Leica X1/2, Sigma DP1/2 etc.
@Bigbokeh compared to the $2000 Leica X2 this is a bargain
Camera and price are out of my reach... but... can't help noticing that there is NO viewfinder, and instead they placed a flash.
The spec says 14x digital zoom, the press release only mentions 1.4x and 2x digital teleconverter and "By Pixel Super Resolution digital zoom" which is what?
Wow, 2800$ ? It looks nice. Maybe lens is really good. Maybe it appeals people that are very much into street photography? But otherwise it is just a huge price.
I value "pocketability", but honestly for that price I can get a reflex + one or two very good lenses.
I guess this kind of camera is for pro or rich amateurs... and maybe it has more appeal on Japan/asiatic market.
1/2000 shutter speed render this camera useless
Don't blame anything before you guys really got one! Max speed is 1/4000...
The Sony web site says 1/2000. of course, it also has the NEX-6 with a touchscreen, a feature that seems to have been removed late in the game, so I'm not sure if they're to be trusted. The RX100 also has this shutter speed limitation. They may use the same shutter.
I see the glass elements as small, why is the barrel that large for the lens ? And why does it say "35 mm full frame CMOS sensor" on the orange ring, aren't the crazy people spending 2800 on a fixed lens camera going to know that ?
just need a good set of high-quality screw on lens adaptors to make it 24mm, 50mm and 75mm equivalents. Then i will buy for sure
I'd be less certain. Most tests show the actual resolution from those cameras as about the same as a 24-28mp Bayer sensor. Resolution is the Foveon party trick. Despite the claims of some, the color is not magic, just very good, as I expect this will also be. With a ff sensor, this could equal DP IQ even at low ISOs, and will definitely pass it by 400. IQ is about more than just resolution under optimal circumstances.
Complete waste of time. Can't believe they put a fixed lens. Such a slow lens as well. Could have produced a legendary cam if they made it interchangeable. Those Sony marketing people need to be sacked.
seriously for $2800 i mean for that price you get Canon 5D II or almost 5dII with all the features...
Good luck shooting without a lens, let alone a Zeiss f/2.
Oh and sometimes a smaller size matters. ;)
But a 5DII with lens is huge compared to the RX1. If you walk down the street or into a room with a 5DII, you stick out like a sore thumb. If you want to keep a low profile, the RX1 is awesome. Not only is it physically small, it's also un-intimidating because it looks like a compact P&S! Plus, it has a virtually silent leaf shutter. No DSLR mirror slap, no DSLR shutter curtain sound. Again, great for being unobtrusive and keeping a low profile. Plus, it's optically stabilized which can also be a big advantage.
To give you an idea of just how small the RX1 is, the distance from the front of the lens to the back of the body is 70mm. The thickness of a 5DII body alone (no lens attached) is 75mm! So the entire thickness of the RX1 is less than the thickness of a 5DII body all by itself!
For street photog, the Oly Pen plus 75mm 1.8 blows the Sony out of the water. The next Pen will be getting the excellent OM-D Sony sensor. The RX 1 makes no sense, esp with the asking price.
Talking like a true m4/3 fanboy. Comparing 150mm equivalent lens to a 35mm equivalent lens (by the way, good luck with your street photography at 150mm) is just hilarious. And I agree that your big silver 75mm would be much stealthier /sarcasm.
The price point is high indeed but this is a first of its kind.
Sony isn't competing with m4/3 or any other mirror less system with this camera. It is a direct chalenge to Leica.
People said Sigma was nuts when the original DP1 (first true aps-c compact) was released at $600
Just noticed, max shutter speed 1/2000... seriously? O_O At least nice try at introducing FF sensor in small package.
Back in the day 1/1000 was the most you got, time to rediscover ND filters I think.
Leaf shutters are very quiet and they offer flash synch at all speeds. I find it funny that so many people want to shoot this thing at full aperture regardless of the situation. If you like oof rendering, you'd be a lot better off with a longer lens. Even a 50mm can really separate things from the background. Fast wide angles are for shooting in low light. There isn't a great reason for ND filters for this camera since the lens is a moderate wide angle.
@lxstorm: I don't think it will use a "real" Zeiss Lens
also I don't think Zeiss glasses will be used either
just like Leica on Panasonic product......
they were "designed by" Zeiss (or Leica on Pana)
huge difference compared to the lens which really "made by" Zeiss (or Leica)
Reports say this is a real designed-and-made-by Zeiss lens. Without real Zeiss glass the price would be nuts, but with, sounds about right. They are aiming at Leica here. With a good Zeiss lens, and I'd take this any day over an X2. The IQ will be substantially better and it has more features (like good video specs.)
Am I reading this right, it is over two and a half grand, but it is -not- weather sealed? Correct me if I am wrong! I just searched briefly on the web, and I could not find any such mention. I bet the images are breathtaking ... but, that is one heck of an omission in my mind, for such a premium model.
Well (after combing further through specification lists on all manner of sites) I am glad that Sony at least will offer accessory viewfinders. An enthusiast camera NEEDS a good viewfinder, and I hope that others manufacturers take note of that as well. Sony makes some of the best viewfinders, from everything I see and hear.
WOAH.... I just read in the preview: 249$ for a thumb grip!! Sony, sony, sony.... what are we going to do with you.
This is a niche product just like a Leica. So if you're into this stuff, I think the price is fair of the combo offers excellent IQ. Personally, I will wait for the over-priced NEX-9 or the rumored steak sauce camera.
