Larry Taylor
Age: 61
From: Eaton Township
Pursuit: Building exhibits
How did you get your start?
I've been living here since 1955, I was born in Elyria. I grew up next door and built my own house in 1987. In fact, this house was the first Styrofoam house built in Lorain County. I was a green builder in 1987; I started my own company to build energy efficient houses. In 1987, I won a brand new Dodge Dakota pickup truck because the house was the most energy- efficient built in the United States at the time.
What's the R-factor on the walls?
Thirty on the walls and 50 on the ceiling. It's solid Styrofoam and has steel tubing for the structural strength. I was a machinist at the time and decided to turn into a builder. But now this opportunity came up with this Titanic job about 11 years ago.
Tell us about that.
I'm building a photo op, called "King of the World" and it's used at the entrance of our exhibits to take photographs of people visiting our exhibits. The parent company is Premier Exhibition out of Atlanta, Ga., and they own the sole rights to all the artifacts that were brought up from the ocean floor from the Titanic. They have over 7,000 that they pulled up off the ocean floor.
Have you seen some of those?
All of them. I've seen just about every artifact.
What still exists on the Titanic with the prow? You're building a replica of the bow?
The railing is still on the ship. We're not allowed to take anything off the Titanic. We can only take items from the debris field.
And you work for that company?
And they have to keep the collection together?
Yes, they do. The federal government won't let them sell it piecemeal. The artifacts have gone up for sale, but we're talking $170 million for the collection.
So, you're building a replica of the bow. Is that pretty close to the size of the Titanic's?
No, I would say it's about half scale. ... These are the mooring cleats built out of Styrofoam with a hard coat put over them. I ship this out. It's going to an exhibit in Orlando, Fla.
Have you built anything else?
I've built wall sections, a third-class and first-class cabin.
I imagine for the steel plates you could use plywood with carriage bolts for the rivets?
That's what we do. I hide everything. It's all show. I'm the lead carpenter, we travel all over the world setting these exhibits up. They stay up for six months. We have a couple of grand staircases, a 40-foot by 40-foot room, two stories. We'll assemble it, then I'll go back and move it to the next city or country.
Tick off some sites you've traveled to?
Shanghai, China; Seoul, Korea; Budapest; Paris, France; London, England; I just got back from Singapore. The nicest part of this deal is my wife, Faye, gets to travel with me. She's on vacation, and I go to work. (He laughs.) We've been to Athens, Greece, Copenhagen, Brazil, Argentina, South America, just everywhere. When you work 10 hours a day, seven days a week until the show's done, you don't have time for sightseeing. When I get off of work it's usually dark or I'm tired. The only time I see any sights is if I stay longer, after the show's been set up, and my wife's with me, that's when I can go sightseeing.
Did the movie reignite the passion for the story of the Titanic?
I'm gonna say it helped a little, but there are a lot of followers. A lot. It's a universal story. And with the 100th anniversary this year, the popularity has definitely grown. I have a big show going on now in Detroit at the Henry Ford, it will close in September.
Do you have a website?
Premier Exhibitions: prxi.com. That's the parent company, but the company that tours is RMST (Titanic).
Any family?
I have a son Josh, he's 37, and a grandson.
What do you do for hobbies when you're not involved with the Titanic?
I do a lot of RVing, I work on cars, motorcycles, hot rods. I just never seem to get anything finished. That's why my friends nicknamed my shop the Museum of Unfinished Projects.
What are some of those projects?
Let's see, I have a 56 Ford F-100 pickup I've been working on for 13 years, a '60 Falcon in the back, a '73 Shovelhead, I do ride my '99 Road King.

It's been a little less than a month between victories for Jean-Sebastien Giguere.
With all the Anaheim Ducks goaltender has gone through since the death of his father in December, it felt longer.
"I was due. It's been a tough couple months," said a smiling Giguere after the Ducks handed the Calgary Flames a 2-1 loss at the Saddledome.
"I just wanted to get a game where I could feel good after."
He can feel good about yesterday's outing.
Allowing a single goal by Michael Cammalleri in the third period, and stopping a flurry of the 26 shots he faced over the final seven minutes as the Flames got desperate to avoid a fourth straight loss in regulation, Giguere was a big factor in the win -- just like the old days.
"Our goaltender gave us a chance again. A second strong game for him, and it's good to see," said Ducks head coach Randy Carlyle.
"He played very well in the last game in Nashville. He really couldn't be faulted (for the 4-2 loss).
"He's been known for giving our hockey club a chance for a long time.
"It's good to see there's a reward, and hopefully this game and the Nashville game, he can use as a springboard to get back where he needs to be."
Since the all-star break, the Ducks have relied even more on their backup -- or 1B goalie, as Carlyle likes to refer to him -- Jonas Hiller.
Giguere hasn't been jealous, he's been grateful.
Dealing with his dad's death hasn't been easy, and Giguere mentioned how happy he has been Hiller has filled in and performed well while he tries to get his head right.
Losing three straight starts before the all-star break after winning his first contest since mid-December on Jan. 11 against the New Jersey Devils, Giguere stepped out of his normal routine.
"Lately, I kind of came back to basics -- did a little bit more in the gym, tried to get my conditioning up a little bit and focus on something else than just stopping pucks in the net," said Giguere, who hasn't felt pressured by Ducks fans to get it together.
"I know people in Anaheim, the fans in Anaheim are very understanding of what went on," he said.
So are his teammates. They might be as pleased as Giguere things seem to be turning around for their all-star netminder.
"What he has been going through lately, it's been very tough. The way he's been handling it's unbelievable," said winger Teemu Selanne. "We're really happy for him.
"We need him. We know what he has done in the past and how good he is. He's a huge part of this team."

Entry #2
This is a surreal humor poem that i wrote and i thought i would share it with everyone! Here is the original thread
The following poem may contain offensive material that may or may not be appropriate for children under the age of zero.
Thank you for wasting your precious time reading this useless introduction.
By theamazingjamez
There once was a boy who went by Todd.
Todd was a boy who was quite odd.
He loved fast food from Famished Lee's
Despite its highly caustic properties.
So Todd was on his way to Famished Lee's
To eat a burger with caustic properties,
When along came a big, fat brute
Who (a bit rudely) let out a large toot.
"Hey, you yeah you, where you going?" said the guy.
"I'm going Famished Lee's," Todd said with a twinkle in his eye.
Then the fat guy suddenly wore an evil grin.
Took a deep breath and said to him...
NOTE: The following stanza has been censored.
If you had read it, you'd gasp, "Oh, Lord!"
Google "Bad Words" if you're really that bored,
But, for now, a censor has had this stanza censored.
Todd was still reeling from the fat guy's censure,
And I'm telling you right now it was not a pretty picture.
Even worse was the fact that the guy put him in a trash bin.
Unfortunately, this was true, much to Todd's chagrin.
As Todd hopped out of the bin,
He met a girl who was a bit of a charlatan.
She claimed to have superpowers, which distracted Todd, no doubt,
And led him along a circuitous route.
Now, before Todd, walked anymore,
He realized that he was farther than he had ever been before.
Indeed, he had, gotten off track just a smidge,
Because now he was in front of a troll bridge
Now, Todd, being smart, was rather circumspect
Especially since he was in a story where he chronically gets wrecked.
This was a situation he would have to circumvent.
Why was he in chronic danger wherever he went?
Now, that girl we talked about before, she wasn't clandestine
And she honestly thought she was a super heroine,
So she charged the troll under the bridge with supposed superhuman might
And the troll just snapped his jaws and ate her with one bite.
Now with Todd the troll was worse.
Todd he did coerce.
"Rob a bank for me," said he,
And Todd could not help but agree.
Due to the troll being cogent by baring his teeth,
A terrible sin on Todd's soul the troll did bequeath
Thus, Todd was forced to rob a bank,
An act that was rather rank.
So Todd went to the Bank of the West
But he just couldn't bring himself to the test
So he went to the police to explain his plight
And the whole force went to arrest the troll on sight
But suddenly the police chief turned rather glum.
He said, "I'm afraid this title isn't compatible with this poem.
If we don't fix it, we'll meet an awful fate."
"I know how to fix it," said the troll. "Can we collaborate?"
"Mr. Chief," said Todd. "Why can't we leave it alone?
Nobody will notice." The chief began to moan.
"What will happen Todd, if we just leave it alone?
I'm afraid the whole universe will implode."
"But Mr. Chief," said Todd. "Surely, that can't be right.
That only happens in the stories that one nerdy teen writes."
"I wish that were true," said the chief. "But, unfortunately,
To be concise, this could be the end for both you and me."
Okay, now I'm kind of mad because
My own main character just dissed me. I mean,
I bet no one cares! That complacent little... Anyway,
For now I am going to write
This poem in free verse, which basically
Means you write normally and press enter
At random places. Ahh, the
Humanity! Anyway, so, after this frightful
Turn of events, the troll said,
"We're going to have to confront
The author and tell him to change it." The others
Agreed. Then, after a brief silence, Todd
Said, "How the heck are we going
To do that?" Unfortunately, no one
Had an answer. So, they sat
Around, coming up with conjectures
And discarding them. Meanwhile, the end
Of the universe loomed overhead.
This went on until a rookie officer
(This was his first assignment, and it
Was disappointing him), out of frustration,
Looked out and yelled, "Can you just
Change the title?" Well! Someone finally figured
It out! Took you guys long enough
To arrange this confrontation, eh?
"Well," said the police chief.
"Do it already, you nerd!"
Whoa! Ahem, no, just for that,
I will not! You people are very
Rude! I should let your universe
Implode, and good riddance, too! Humph!
"Will you do it, please?" said the troll very
Politely. All right! Manners,
Everyone! Manners matter!
Especially on Manners Matter Monday!
All right, I'll change it. Now the title
Looks like this:
And finally the problem went.
And for the remainder of the poem,
I will write in Haikus.
The characters were very happy.
They all decided to celebrate with food.
They went to Famished Lee's.
Todd went home well fed.
The police force died of caustic hamburgers.
The Troll was condoned.
This is the poem's end.
I hope you liked it a lot.
Now go home and sleep

Very funny, I especially like the censorship part.
The problems I found with it were that you packed too many syllables in some of the lines, which ruined the rhythm. Also, some of the rhymes were pretty forced.
Can i confess? I wrote this for a spelling project, so some of the more syllabled (is that a word?) words were required. But I sure am glad you liked it!

Lonnie Holley had a tough road on the way to fame. Born in Birmingham, Ala., in 1950, he was the seventh of 27 children, was taken from his mother at age 4, and at one point was sold for a bottle of whiskey. Then, having survived that inauspicious start in life, he found an artistic career while carving tombstones for his sister's children who were killed in a house fire.
He began making carvings from discarded foundry materials and assembling them along with various found objects. In 1981, he brought examples of his carvings to the Birmingham Museum of Art, where his work was put on display, and soon his art was being shown by such institutions as the American Folk Art Museum in New York and the High Museum in Atlanta.
Holley's work is being featured in Augusta this week for the Westobou Festival. He will unveil a sculpture celebrating James Brown on Saturday, Oct. 6, at 3:30 p.m. at Paine College's Warren A. Candler Memorial Library. After that ceremony, there will be a spoken-word and keyboard performance at 5 p.m. in the Gilbert-Lambuth Memorial Chapel on the Paine campus. Both events are free.
Other examples of Holley's work can be seen at the Old Academy of Richmond County building on Telfair Street through Oct. 7 as part of a group exhibit open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
• Another Westobou-related special exhibit is on view at the Arts and Heritage Center in North Augusta. Sculptor Karen Rich Beall and painter Claire Ellen Corey have combined forces in a show titled Wonderland, presenting objects that are said to be multidimensional in both medium and meaning. See examples of their work at karenrichbeall.com and clairecorey.com
A free reception for the artists will be from 1 to 3 p.m. Oct. 6. The reception also celebrates the 10th anniversary of the North Augusta Artists Guild. The center is located on the first floor of the North Augusta Municipal Center.
For more on Westobou visual arts events, see westoboufestival.com.
THE AIKEN CENTER for the Arts has a gallery reception scheduled Thursday, Oct. 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. for several new exhibits. The main galleries feature shows by Lila Campbell, Joseph Bradley, and members of the Artisans of the South Carolina Cotton Trail, while Bill Updegraff is exhibiting in the Aiken Artist Guild Gallery there.
The Cotton Trail group includes some 35 artists and artisans in a variety of media. Photographers, jewelers, potters, glass artists, a weaver and a topiary artist are among the exhibitors.
Campbell is an Atlanta-born photographer whose work has been seen in various publications as well as galleries throughout the Southeast. In addition to her photography, she recently launched "Day in the Life," in which she documents a day with an individual, family or business.
Bradley is a full-time artist working in Greenville, S.C. He studied under Carl Blair and Emory Bopp at Bob Jones University and has had many exhibitions throughout the Southeast. He is the owner of Joseph Bradley Gallery in Greenville.
Updegraff began his career 30 years ago and is a signature member of several watercolor societies. He is a member with excellence of the South Carolina Watermedia Society and has had exhibits at the Lander University Gallery, the McCormick Arts Council at the Keturah and the Greenwood Arts Council Gallery.
PAINTER Georgene Wright will be the featured artist during First Thursday festivities Oct. 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Midtown Market; and photographer Mike Beckner will be in the spotlight at Summerville Art. Eryn Eubanks and the Family Fold will be performing as a prelude to their upcoming music festival that benefits Lynndale School.
AIKEN ARTIST GUILD member Nanette Langer is exhibiting during October at the Hitchcock Health Center. Born in Chicago, Langer attended the American Academy of Art and studied graphic art and illustration. Now a resident of Aiken, she is a member of the South Carolina Watermedia Society and a past president of the artists guild.
• The guild will present Celebrate Creativity Day on Saturday, Oct. 6, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Family Y of Aiken County. The annual event benefits the guild's scholarship fund. Find class descriptions at aikenartistguild.org.
• Marie-Christine Maitre de Tarragon will be the speaker for the guild's Oct. 8 meeting. Born in France, she grew up surrounded by art and horses. Since moving to the U.S., she has been training horses and creating equine sculpture and paintings. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at the Aiken Center for the Arts, and is open to the public.
THE MORRIS MUSEUM of Art calendar includes a variety of events, starting with the Porter Fleming Literary Competition awards ceremonies at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6. Winners will be announced in fiction, nonfiction, playwriting and poetry.
• Richard Stenhouse will be the Art at Lunch speaker Friday, Oct. 12, discussing his subtle images created on translucent Mylar.
• Self-taught artist Gary Russeth will talk about his wooden automobile models at 2 p.m. Oct. 14. Visit themorris.org for details.
AT THE LUCY CRAFT Laney Museum of Black History, the annual quilt exhibit will open Sunday, Oct. 7, with a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. At the same time, artist Sarah Hobbs will be at the Old Academy of Richmond County to sign copies of her latest book of images. She was featured in a solo exhibit last season at the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art.
COMING UP: Art of Chocolate, the 17th annual art, music and chocolate fundraiser for Child Enrichment Inc., will be Oct. 12 at Savannah Rapids Pavilion. And the Aiken Center for the Arts will stage its annual Taste of Wine and Art fundraiser Oct. 18. Also take note of Historic Augusta's Walk with the Spirits tours of Magnolia Cemetery Oct. 13 and 14, and the popular Greek Festival the same weekend.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Camp Horizon Inc, Decatur, GA, USA
My life changed forever when I walked into the Camp Horizon family. The positive encouragement, the intentional relationships, and the consistency are just snippets of how this organization affects your life, both as a volunteer and as a camper. As a teacher of students in the foster care system, I see them go in and out of schools, of houses, of families, and I see their needs: for consistency & safety, for adults to show them there is a way, for time to feel confident, for them to know they have a light to shine. Camp Horizon offers them all of this. It is what I want to do as a teacher, but can't. Thankfully, there is a place that gives them this. I hope more volunteers will want to be a part of something bigger than themselves, something that gives this kind of goodness to kids who have not gotten to experience it.
More Feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?

Estabished by Ellis So & Crystal Chan in 2007,EC Interior, who took professional study in different institutes & the member of Hong Kong designers association."We always striving for providing the best One Stop Service on interior working environments for corporations and financial institutions" Our business covers such as south china & HK. Interview with our designers – interior designer as the pursuit of happiness Q1: Tell us a little bit about your working environment. We have been working in this industry for more than 10 years,and we created this studio a few years ago. At the beginning, we worked for simply projects.We started working on some offices, which was sort of my introduction to the cooperate business. Little by little, the studio expanded and took on bigger and more referrals from our existing customers. Q2: How do you approach a project as for example the GES? The concept has to relate to the use of space & color. "With the business development, space requirements also need to keep up with the pace of development." Staff of GES stated. Stained glass & graphic walls in the general office illustrate the determination of enterprises to train staff team.The challenge was to translate the Western culture into Eastern culture; weused the multicultural atmosphere here influenced working performance of the staffs and shaped the company's personality. Q3: How would you define your style? We combine simplicity and contemporary interior design ideas into our works.

text: Hi All Bit of an odd one, 1999 S3 APY runs beautifully except when under load up hill between 3000 and 3750 rpm, once over 3750, car resumes normal service and goes back to being a pocket rocket. between 3000 and 3750 rpm the car seems to splutter and I get what looks like black smoke appear in rear view mirror, once revs have risen to 3750 everything seems fine again, no smoke no splutter. I think it does it on the flat as well bet less so, on a motorway hill in top its definately not right, below 3000 pulls like a train in all gears. and the same above 3750 rpm. I've not had chance to run VAG-COM as I can't get to my lead at present, I'm thinking the black smoke must be due to massive overfuelling, could coil-packs be the problem? Any thoughts or suggestions most welcome. Thanks in advance Nige

New overcharging claims dog npower
npower customers accuse the gas and electricity provider of wrongly calculating the amount owed on their energy bills
Npower faces fresh allegations of overcharging this week after questions were raised about the way it calculated customers' bills after its January price rises.
The latest concerns come only nine months after the company repaid £70 million to 1.9 million gas customers whom it had overcharged in 2007-08, after a long campaign by Times Money.
The most recent problems relate to bills covering the period when the January 4 price rise for gas and electricity took place. Customers ought to have been charged at the pre-price rise rates for energy consumed before January 4, while from that date onwards they should have been charged at the higher post-price-rise levels. But some energy customers reckon that npower has charged for more units than it should at…


text: "Funding for New Jersey's low-income school districts declined sharply during the Great Recession, according to a recent New York Fed study. Moreover, the Abbott districts—a group of poor urban districts that once received special appropriations from the state—were hit especially hard. The recent recession, the passage of the federal stimulus bill, and the decision to eliminate special Abbott district funding all converged to reshape education finance during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years. In their study New Jersey's Abbott Districts: Education Finances during the Great Recession, economists Rajashri Chakrabarti and Sarah Sutherland examine how these developments affected the level of school funding in New Jersey's low-income districts and how these districts adjusted their instructional and non-instructional expenditures in response. The authors pay particular attention to the Abbott districts, noting that they represent 20 percent of all students enrolled in public schools but receive 50 percent of the state's funds. For context, they use two benchmark groups: the rural, low-income "Bacon districts" and districts from across the state whose income profile almost exactly matches that of the Abbott districts."

I must iterate that the reason why I haven't been posting any music or artwork of late is because I haven't been in the best of times, financially and in other areas. Still, I am persisting, I am fighting for the future I believe in.
Please, pray for me, and/or send some good thoughts to me. These will be much appreciated. <3
UPDATE 20.09.2013 at 15:16 BST:
I have since moved north; this seems to be the only way I could see forward. Many are doubting me but some believe that something wonderful will come up for me. Regardless, I am fighting still. I trust in the good Lord. Suffering is my friend.
I am logging in from one of the public libraries, and I will not be online as much as I would like to. Which means, for a time, there will be no songs or artwork coming from me.
Please, keep the prayers and good thoughts coming. I beg this of you...

Thank you. I will.

God keep you, Troisnyx.
Also I bought a track called 'Declaration' last night, it sounded pretty cool so I downloaded it. :D
I noticed in my e-mail alerts. Thanks! <3 This will come as good news to the rest of Kingdom of Herts!
I pray He keep me. These are frightening times, and I want to retreat into my inner sanctum and find peace.
2013-09-14 09:50:39
You'll get back on your feet, eventually. Just keep at it.
I pray that I do. Thanks for standing by me.

If somebody knows how hard life can be, then its me. But you always have to keep in mind that those bad times are limited and its always just a question of time when it will become better again. I think you can really believe in your future. You have so many talents you can be proud of. The most important thing is to keep standing and still be able to hope for the best. Believe in yourself! I keep the fingers crossed that there will be better times for you as soon as possible!
Fingers crossed and hands clasped together, I wholeheartedly believe. There have been many times where I've broken down by just how overwhelming and frightening it is, living each day or each hour as it comes. Yet I still want to trust, ever so much....
Thanks for standing by me!

You've got my support- you've got folks here who know you do good work.
Thank you <3

Yes, the flesh and blood in us would freely
Be compelled to bear this cross:
The deeper the marks that it leaves,
The better it is for our souls.
Come, sweet cross.
Come, sweet cross, I shall say.
My Jesus, always give it here.
If my sufferings ever become too great,
You yourself will help me bear them.
Morale: be compelled to love the Pain.
<3 I will.
2013-09-25 20:15:00
You will forever be in my prayers. May God give you the grace to bear your cross and the knowledge that sharing in the Cross of Christ allows us to participate in the redemption of Man. I, too, am going through a period in my spiritual life where I need to remind myself of this truth every second. Temptation weighs heavily on my shoulders and suffering has come to know me like a friend, yet I offer others the joy and peace I desire without pause. May God give you the strength of a lion and the peace of heaven.
Thank you, Bardash. I pray for the same. <3 It's scary, having to go through something of this magnitude (I dare not spill very many details), but I know God's hand is in all this. He will provide something.
Pax tecum!
2013-09-27 18:10:45
I hope you are keeping well, wherever Life may take you, and remember, though it may be a Nightmare —
All Dreams must end
Naught could e'er be more true
When Dawn doth portend
Day must come e'er anew...

When I was a kid (in central IL) we would scour the country roads for hours and take home stones for rock gardens. We called it 'rocking.' ha!
I don't know where this is located, but it could be in central WI. We have lots and lots of those same kind of stones that the glacier left behind.

Grihya-sutra, in Hinduism, any of a number of manuals detailing the domestic (grihya) religious ceremonies performed by both male and female householders over the fire. The Grihya-sutras, together with the Shrauta-sutras (which deal with the grand Vedic sacrifices) and the Dharma-sutras (which deal with rules of conduct), make up the Kalpa-sutras—collections of texts that emerged within the different Vedic schools. The Grihya-sutras describe the ceremonies (samskaras) that mark each stage of an individual's life, from the moment of conception to the final death rites; the five daily sacrifices (mahayajna); seasonal ceremonies; and those observed on special occasions, such as house building or cattle breeding.

The Mayo Clinic has signed a letter of intent to be a part of the Mall of America's expansion plans. Mayo CEO Glenn Forbes said the clinic has yet to determine the facility's focus, but he said it won't be primary care. It's also unclear when the office will see its first patient. Forbes said Mayo is growing in new ways.
"This is how we meet the needs of the patient," Forbes said. "In past times, we may have had the patients come to us. We're reaching out to where the patients are. To where the individuals are. Whether it's in the Internet, whether it's where people publicly congregate. This is what the needs are. This is where the future's going."
Mayo is the fourth organization to announce plans to join the Mall of America's expansion. The other tenants include a hotel, a water park and a Bass Pro shop. An official with the mall said it expects to announce another tenant in a few weeks.

The Art of Style | Paloma Elsesser
Style Game
Paloma Elsesser is a jack of all trades. The writer, hip-hop enthusiast, model, and dazzling downtown New York darling by way of Los Angeles, possesses beauty, brains, and a cool confidence that instantly captivates those around her. Paloma's noteworthy style is a solid mash up of sweet, nostalgic nineties flashbacks… think J.Lo in her Diddy prime: slick baby hairs and unadulterated realness. She's your go-to for a good, kickback and unwind girl sesh. We caught up with the sizzling sweetheart as she ventured outside her sneaker head norms and styled the ultra femme STECY.
Please introduce yourself.
My name is Paloma Elsesser, I'm a writer, friend, and freak of nature.
How do you start your day?
I wake up, crawl into the shower, hum some Mariah Carey acapella and then proceed with a very strict beauty regimen!
How would you describe your style?
My style is pretty erratic, but generally I'd say its Master P in drag or a Latina teen mom in the 90's. In high school, my friend coined it "Ghindie" aka "Ghetto/Indie", which I still find pretty accurate.
How has the big apple influenced your style?
Nostalgia makes me weak and I live for NYC throwback styles. It has also taught me to look at the function and versatility of my outfits, because you never know who you're going to see or what you're going to be doing, and besides, who has time to rush home and change?
Five essentials every New Yorker needs.
An entrusted nail tech, Evian Mineral Water Face Mist, street smarts, a good smelling candle for the home, and a routine!
Describe the perfect shoe.
My perfect shoe is undoubtedly a sneaker; A classic one at that. One that you can run in, go on adventures in, go to the club in…all of that. Sneakers are the best because they're realistic for a quick moving lifestyle. They're comfortable and can be worn with a dress or jeans without looking like you're a) trying to hard or b) don't care at all.
Favorite summertime escape?
Anywhere that smells clean and crisp!
What are you looking forward to most this summer?
Seafood and reading in the sunshine!
What do you love most about the STECY heel?
I generally (aka NEVER) wear heels so my leap into stilleto-dom was pretty difficult. However, the STECY is immaculately feminine, simple, and sleek and can easily be paired with my boyish and normally insane outfits. It's also neither a super high heel nor a kitten heel (No!) so its completely manageable to walk in.

I tried it initially because I was intrigued and thought it would be a good summer drink. I was not disappointed. It took some coaxing to get my boyfriend to even try it but he was glad he did."

Dropbox, a handy cross-platform cloud service that syncs your files across any number of Windows, Mac, and Linux machines, will soon update its client software with selective syncing, a sought-after feature by many users.
The revelation came in a post over at Dropbox's forums by a company engineer Arash F. who wrote that the upcoming 0.8.8 update, code-named "rainbow shell" and already six months in development, will include the ability to cherry-pick cloud folders that will sync with a specific machine. The new user interface will actually allow you to control selective sync. The original post announcing the "rainbow shell" release explains that the interface will let you:
Check/uncheck any folder/subfolder within your Dropbox. Deselecting a folder will mean that Dropbox won't download (or upload) files within this folder. there's an 'advanced view' that'll allow ignoring of files by path filters.
Selective sync means you'll be able to keep a complete backup in the cloud without having it synced back to every authorized machine in its entirety, something that the current stable build doesn't allow. The Dropbox 0.8.8 client will also sport a reduced memory footprint, a new status interface to diagnose and fix sync issues with your Dropbox, and Cocoa-based interface on the Mac.
Unfortunately, the post says nothing about an advanced LAN sync feature that seems to be on everyone's wish list. Current stable version does sync changes between computers via LAN, provided they're on the same local network, in addition to uploading them to the cloud. Some folks would like to bypass Dropbox server altogether and use the client to sync content between machines that are on the same local network.
If you're using Dropbox as a cloud backup solution, you could download and install the beta build, but you're advised to create a local backup of your cloud content because the build hasn't been fully tested and you don't want to lose your cloud backup. In case you decide to go that route, Dropbox is warning folks to "be careful with files that contain xattrs and most importantly resource forks."
Dropbox launched September 2009 as a multi-platform cloud storage solution for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The company later added iPhone OS client and promised Android and Blackberry clients in the coming months. The service has an API so third-party applications can connect to it, like the Quickoffice app for the iPhone. The company announced last month that it has over four million users, a million more than three months ago.
Read more at the Dropbox forum.
Christian's Opinion
I've been using a free 2GB Dropbox account to store all the files relating to my Geek writing, from the images and web links to surveys and published pieces. For me Dropbox is a no-brainer – it lets me authorize my Mac and Windows so both machines have exactly the same content inside the Dropbox folder. Whenever I put an image or a new document into the Dropbox folder on my notebook, it gets uploaded and synced with my desktop Mac. When I get home, those files are already there on my Mac.
I recently upgraded to a 50GB paid account in order to backup my iTunes library before reinstalling Windows. The selective syncing feature will come in handy to sync just certain iTunes media directories (apps and music) to my notebook in order to save some storage space. At the same time, I will setup the entire iTunes library to sync with my desktop Mac.

This isn't even an article. It's a scheme to get more Twitter followers for High Cascade Snowboard Camp. But read on — because I'll buy you a cheese pizza.
Here's the deal:
— Follow High Cascade Snowboard Camp on Twitter. Click Here.
(if you're on Twitter already it'll take 10 sec. If you're not, it'll take 1 minute.)
— At some point before next week I'm going to Tweet the "Secret Word."
— The first person to post this "Secret Word" in the comments of this article, wins a pizza! (I'll call up the pizza place of your choice and pay for it by credit card, so you must post with your REAL email address.)
It's literally the easiest way you can get a free large cheese pizza. Plus it's a great test of your skills on the comment boards. Everyone loves claiming "first" — but can you be fastest when it really counts? When a pizza is on the line?
I have no f*#%ing idea why we need more Twitter followers… Apparently businesses are supposed to have a lot of Twitter followers now, and since I'm the Camp Director and Marketing Director for HCSC — I guess I'm just doing business. Right?
Currently we have 452 followers.
Ashton Kutcher has 3,994,559.
We need to step up our game.
PS. Check out the brand new High Cascade site. Now.

Trouble in the house. Get Legg over.
This is turning out to be a very good week for those of us who view the Palace of Westminster primarily as a source of entertainment, as well as being the place where our worst fears about politicians are confirmed in spades. A new star is born in Sir Thomas Legg (any relation to dear old Dr Legg of Eastenders fame?) and this whole expenses thing has not even started yet. Just wait until we get to the bit about mortgage interest repayment and profits shown on property deals. Meanwhile a firm of dodgy briefs in the pay of the oil trading mafia have attempted to gag the reporting of parliamentary questions regarding the toxic waste dumping activities of these scum-bags. Corruption in parliament? Sure, but you need to take a stroll into The City to find the real corruption. And the real power as well.

WS-* Implementation and Best practices - LINKS WANTED (1 messages)
Hi, I need a good practical implementation of WS-Standards into one solution. Including WS-Security, WS-Transaction, including J2EE, best practices for code generation, best WS framework, etc. There is _nothing_ out there, to show a good reference implementation. I mean nothing. Not even a book. Have you got links ? Also - something I noticed lately, when playing with Axis2: why does Axis actually mix axis-framework-specific code with the deployed service' business logic ? Why is there no clean separation between them ? Why do I have to see implemented class-specific serialization method in my service class ? And why do I have to see the same on the generated client side ? It might boost performance, but it's hell for maintainability. I need a framework which can cleanly separate business code and framework code. Do you have ideas on this ? Thanks in advance, Jay

The "Reel Journalism" series felt more like a father-son comedy routine at the Newseum last night as Nick and George Clooney traded one-liners and jabs.
The senior Clooney hosted his son and veteran Bill Small at a discussion and screening of "Good Night and Good Luck."
And how did Nick get George to agree to the event? "He promised me booze," George said. Other memorable one-liners include: "You're my retirement fund," father Clooney to son, and "in the event anybody makes a movie about me, I want Clooney to play me. I bet Brad's not free." That one was Bill Small.
By the end of the night, George had asked Bill Small to adopt him, asking, "Are you wealthy? I'll take care of you."
Tammy Haddad, Betsy Fischer, John and Barbara Cochran were all in attendance — the Cochrans slipped out just as the movie started, Barbara whispering, "I've seen it three times."

I've had liquid-c in my Gemfile for a while, and TBH just assumed I was getting the benefits from it.
Looking at some debug output (unrelated) I see: Couldn't load liquid-c. Skipping.
Couldn't load liquid-c. Skipping.
Odd, I try require 'liquid-c' in irb, LoadError: cannot load such file -- liquid-c, no luck there.
require 'liquid-c'
LoadError: cannot load such file -- liquid-c
Finding liquid c's GH Repo it seems the syntax is require 'liquid/c'. Give that a go:
require 'liquid/c'
irb(main):002:0> require 'liquid/c'

(We get the same result when putting liquid/c into the gems: list in _config.yml.)
I've filed an issue with liquid C. It appears to only affect their 3.x branch (they're now on 4.x). So I'm wondering, has liquid-c ever worked with Jekyll? As a lack of it is only seen in a rather busy debug log.
Has anyone got liquid-c working?

Comments about LINK O P HANDLE Link 28in Single Bit Axe Handle (64914):
Replacement axe handles that are close in shape to the old vintage handles from decades ago are very difficult to find. This Link brand "Boys Axe" handle is a very close match to my vintage Plumb and Collins Boys axes.
Earlier this week I recieved an order from another axe handle manufacturer and I paid extra for a hand picked option. The handle was made from great quality hickory, but it was far thicker with far more curve to it than the vintage handles I am trying to replace.
This Link brand handle is made from hickory that is every bit as good, and it is much thinner with the same curves as the vintage handles. This Link handle is perfect, and I will be back for more of them!

Hey guys!
This is the first story I've uploaded to Wattpad, most defentaly not the first story I've ever written. I want to see if people will read my stories and enjoy them. Since I dont like people reading my writting, it took a lot of courage for me to upload this. So tell me what you think. I'd love your opinions! :))
Chapter One
Harmony's POV
I creep along the wall of the drug store with my hair sticking up in all sorts of directions. I reach the window, glancing around the alley for anyone, before trying to push it open. The window doesn't budge. Not even an inch. I'm never that lucky. I try to push it open once more, leaning against it and applying body weight, but again it doesn't open. It's locked. I groan to myself.
Now how am I supposed to get in? I could try and smash it open, but the last thing I need is to add breaking and entering to my list of felonies. Besides, seeing as the unlucky streak I've been stuck in for.....my life began that lovely day in May, I'll probably end up caught and behind bars before the end of the night.
I press my face against the window, gazing into the store, conjuring up option on how to get inside, in my head.
"What now?" I murmur to myself.
I could always try the front door, but that wouldn't be smart. It would ruin my whole plan to steal medical drugs from the drug store without being seen. From what I remember, I'm already facing a couple years in jail. I don't think one more law violation could hurt me much at this point. If I'm going to jail, I want to go out with a bang. I won't be seeing the light of day for a long time after I'm in prison.
I'm pretty positive I can live in jail. I can't however, survive another beating from Kayla going through withdrawal. Unlike most druggies, instead of shivering and shacking with need, Kayla goes off the deep end.
The last time she went without drugs for two days, she decided to use me as a punching bag, and damn, that girl can throw one hell of a punch.
She hadn't been able to obtain her own drugs. I asked her why once, and she told me it was because she didn't feel like returning to jail. Moreover, she's has already been caught and arrested for possession of drugs, and that was her last strike. If the cops caught her again, she was heading for the slammer for a long time. That led her to form her brilliant plan. She figured she could always send me on her drug runs. After all, I was disposable.
Normally, I wouldn't mind doing the drug runs for Kayla. I'd do anything to keep myself from becoming a punching bag. But now that I'm 18, I have a slight problem with it.
Since I'm 18 now, if I'm caught, I'll be sent to jail. Which is one place I haven't been to before. Well, that and rehab, but I won't be headed their anytime soon. Jail, on the other hand, is likely where I'll end up if this mission fails.
I could do the whole daytime thing. Walk in with a gun, a ski mask hiding my face and threaten to kill anyone who gets in my way. The only problem with that is; I don't have a gun. The closes thing to a gun I have is a water gun. A lot of good that'll do me. I can hear it now "Get out of the way, here comes a thief, get out of the way; he's got a scary water gun, ahhh". They wouldn't even bother calling the cops; they'd think it was some sort of prank. Well, if I was in their position if that ever happened, I'd think it was a prank.

Locals often lament the exodus of corporate headquarters from the area during the corporate consolidation waves of the 1980s and 1990s.
Many look back on the 1960s and 1970s as the golden era of Augusta business because of the clout wielded by locally based companies such as Georgia Railroad Bank, The Graniteville Co., Lily-Tulip Inc., Greenfield Industries and Bankers First Corp. The list goes on and on.
Such corporate offices, particularly headquarters, are good for communities. Corporations are often identified with the cities in which they reside, so they have an incentive to keep the yard looking nice. That's why the most philanthropic and civically active businesses tend to be those run by local decision-makers.
Although Augusta might never again see the corporate presence it had in years past, things right now are looking pretty good.
All you have to do is take a trip to 1030 Stevens Creek Road, as I did last week to see a product showcase that was put on by the tenant of that address: Husqvarna Consumer Outdoor Products.
The office, though not the corporate headquarters (that's in Sweden), is responsible for overseeing the lawn mower and chain saw manufacturer's multibillion-dollar North American operations.
Such a facility signals to other corporations that Augusta is a great place to run a business. Husqvarna is not the only corporate citizen worth showing off, though.
Just behind Husqvarna's campus is Automatic Data Processing Inc.'s shiny new operations center. The office tells the world that Augusta has the skills to deliver office support services to the New York-based company's Fortune 500 clients.
Over on Wheeler Road, just across from the recently completed offices for Hull Storey Retail Group, an Augusta-based company that is one of the nation's largest shopping centers, is the future customer service center for wireless giant T-Mobile.
Over in Columbia County is Club Car Inc., one of the area's best-known corporate nameplates, which is expanding its office space.
If this trend persists, people might start considering these the golden days.
THEY LIKE US, THEY REALLY LIKE US! One corporation taking notice in the Augusta area is Cincinnati-based retailer Phillips Edison & Co., which recently purchased the small strip center in the Augusta Exchange area that houses Panera Bread, Verizon Wireless and others.
This comes after recently acquiring and upgrading the ailing Bi-Lo-anchored shopping center in North Augusta, where the former Wal-Mart store is now home to the Steve & Barry's discount clothing store.
"We like the Augusta area," said John Bessey, Phillips Edison's vice president of acquisitions.
The company specializes in buying and renovating "distressed" retail properties, which are plentiful in the Augusta area. Any of you real estate folks sitting on vacant property might want to give Mr. Bessey a call.
NUMBER OF THE BEAST: Your Social Security number, along with your name and birthdate, are the only three things a crook needs to perpetrate a fraud in your name.
That's why I absolutely hate giving out that nine-digit number for anything other anything than taxes and my Social Security account (the latter of which, I'm pretty sure, will not exist by the time I need it).
I'm sure you, too, cringe whenever you're asked to give out the number willy-nilly every time you see a doctor, buy an insurance policy or write a check at the liquor store.* That's why I think you'll be interested in the recent announcement by the Federal Trade Commission to seek public comment on the private-sector use of Social Security numbers. The FTC, concerned about the proliferation of identity theft, wants to know it's really necessary for such widespread collection and use of the number.
Here's your chance to tell the guv'ment what you think, especially if you've been the victim of identity theft: First thing, get the skinny on what the FTC wants at www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/07/ssn.shtm.
Second , if you want to send in a comment the online way, you need to go to www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/07/ssncomments.shtm to see how to organize your statements. Then, once you've done that, go to secure.commentworks.com/ftc-SSNPrivateSector and sound off.
If you want to send in your comment through the mail, address it to: Federal Trade Commission/Office of the Secretary, Room H-135 (Annex K), 600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington, DC 20580.
Don't be afraid to go in depth here, because the FTC wants your comments "as specific as possible, and include, where possible, studies, surveys, research and cost estimates." Just make sure you send in everything before the Sept. 5 deadline.
IF you're REALLY IN A PUBLIC COMMENT MOOD: You still have two weeks to give your 2 cents on a pending agreement between various companies and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to clean up contaminated soils, sediments and groundwater around the Dixie-Narco vending machine plant in Williston, S.C.
The estimated $5.4 million clean up of the property, officially known as the Admiral Home Appliances Superfund, is being paid by Dixie-Narco and others who had a hand in operating the property, including former owner Maytag Corp. and Rheem Manufacturing Co. According to the EPA's consent decree, more than 3,500 cubic yards of soil and sediments along County Road 65 were contaminated by chromium, mercury and a bunch of unpronounceable chemical compounds from 1966 (when Chill Chest Inc. began operating a freezer manufacturing plant at the site) through 1982.
Dixie-Narco's current owner, Connecticut-based Crane Co., is not named in the clean up agreement.
You can obtain a copy of the consent decree on the Justice Department Web site at www.usdoj.gov/enrd/Consent_Decrees.html or, if you happen to be in Atlanta, at the EPA's regional office there. Or you can call me and I'll send you a copy via e-mail. But you have to ask pretty-please.
* They do that to you, too, right?

MOSCOW, April 11 (UPI) -- Russian President-elect Vladimir Putin said it was "reasonable" to change the constitution to impose a two-term limit on the presidency.
Putin won a presidential election this year, setting the stage for his third non-consecutive term in office. The president-elect, in his final report to the State Duma as prime minister, said tightening term limit rules was something he would consider.
"As for replacing the limiting phrase 'two consecutive terms' with 'two terms' in the constitution, I think this is reasonable, it is something that could be thought over together with all the factions," he was quoted by Russia's state-run news agency RIA Novosti as saying.
The constitution prohibits an individual holding the office of president for more than two consecutive terms. Putin served two terms starting in 2000 and became prime minister in 2008.
Election monitors in December suggested State Duma elections were skewed in favor of Putin's United Russia party. Similar concerns were expressed in a March election that secured a Putin's third term in office.
Russia's Central Election Commission announced Wednesday it wasn't overturning the results of a mayoral election in the southern city of Astrakhan. Opposition leader Oleg Shein has been staging a hunger strike to demonstrate against voting irregularities since losing a March 4 election.

Looming Crisis: Officials Close Gulf Waters to Shrimping As Reports of Deformed Seafood Intensify
Source: Stuart H. Smith
Date: April 23, 2012
Alarmed by widespread reports of visibly sick, deformed seafood coming out of the Gulf of Mexico, state officials have closed area waters to shrimping this morning (April 23). The waters will be closed indefinitely as scientists run tests in an effort to get a handle on a situation that is fast becoming a full-blown crisis on the Gulf Coast.
The closures – including all waters in the Mississippi Sound, Mobile Bay, areas of Bon Secour, Wolf Bay and Little Lagoon – mark the first official step in responding to increasingly urgent reports from fishermen and scientists of grotesquely disfigured seafood from Louisiana to the Florida panhandle.
[...] I am deeply saddened but not surprised by the shrimping closures. I applaud the courageous move by state officials to put consumer safety first. There's no doubt in my mind – as I've said for months on end – that seafood coming out of the Gulf of Mexico is unfit for human consumption. [...]

A restaurant owner in Chicago hasn't taken out trash from his restaurant in two years, simply because there isn't anything to take out. Justin Vranny has had a goal of running a zero waste establishment since the day he opened his quick service shop called Sandwich Me In. He sets an admirable example for other restaurants who want to conduct business in a greener and more environmentally friendly manner. The restaurant' efforts and success have become inspiration for a short film (you can view the video via the link below.)
Since opening shop two years ago, Sandwich Me In has produced the amount of trash equivalent to what most other restaurants would produce in only an hour of operation. Much of the trash this restaurant has collected doesn't even come from the restaurant itself. They find that customers will carry in items and leave them behind, such as empty cups from nearby coffee shops. Unfortunately, sometimes these items just can't be recycled.
Nearly everything that the shop uses is able to be repurposed or recycled in some way. They don't purchase products with excessive packaging that will go to waste. They run on sustainable energy and buy food from local farms. The ultimate goal is to run a zero waste establishment, and they've come just about as close as any restaurant can get.
He hopes that other restaurants will follow his example and work toward a more sustainable restaurant operation. He practices the 3 'R's of sustainable living that we all know – "reduce, reuse, and recycle," while also adding in two of his own – "reject and refuse." He is strongly against any junk mail and extra, unnecessary packaging. You can read more about these 5 R's in this post about the 'R's of Zero Waste.
Vranny runs his household in a similar zero waste fashion, and he does it for the sake of his kids and their future. Thinking highly in regards to climate change and the environment, he had to make changes "I want to see [my kids] live the same life that I had. I don't want to risk it, I'm not a gambler. I want to take care of the things I love the most."
Though Vranny and his restaurant have been successful, it certainly did not come without challenges. He worked the entire operation himself for the beginning months to keep costs down. He had to get rid of time-saving conveniences, such as pre-packaged broth, in the name of avoiding the packaging. Instead, he makes his own from chicken bone scraps, which just takes more time and effort. He wanted to make sure absolutely nothing goes to waste.
The cost of running the restaurant is very low, and in its two years of operation, but business has turned a small profit. For Vranny, it's not about the money. "I'm looking at this more widespread. If I don't do this now, it's not going to be done. It can be done, and it can be done for reasonable prices." In order for no food part to go to waste, menu items are planned out so that the ingredients can intersect. "The crispy smoked skins of the chicken go onto the Cobb salad and the chicken bones make the broth for the chicken soup." Leftover vegetables can go onto a burger, and remaining food scraps can be fed to chickens that produce the restaurant's eggs.
His customers love the business and love the meals. They leave after eating fresh local food and they feel good. After two years, the business is finally ready to let go of their trash, and it will become a piece of art. Arguably… if their only bags of trash are repurposed into something else (being art,) did they even have any trash at all?

MARTINEZ — The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Board on Thursday could decide the fate of a proposed sustainable farm on district-owned property near its treatment plant.
Trustees will consider four options; three recommended by the board's Enterprise Committee and one recommended by district staff.
Staff recommends forming an ad hoc committee to negotiate a lease with the farm.
The committee recommends pursuing a lease agreement for 10 acres, with the condition that 5 acres could be vacated with 60 days' notice. It also recommends pursuing proposals for other uses on the remaining property and a land use permit for the entire property.
The meeting is at 2 p.m. in the board room at 5019 Imhoff Place in Martinez. More information is available by calling 925-228-9500 or visiting www.centralsan.org. Click on "Board of Directors," then "Agendas." Select Oct. 3.

NEW YORK -- Thinking of taking the kids to see the Statue of Liberty this summer? Towering more than 300 feet above New York Harbor, the monument is awe-inspiring and well worth the visit. But be prepared for long waits in many lines and for questions such as, ``Mom, why is that boat armed with machine guns?"
As a result of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Statue of Liberty might more aptly be called the Statue of Security. With more than 4 million visitors a year -- as many as visit the Grand Canyon -- Lady Liberty is one of the most popular attractions in the National Park Service's fold of parks and monuments. But park and Circle Line employees (Circle Line runs the ferry concession to Liberty Island ) do little to prepare visitors for the experiences they probably will face while visiting America's ``beacon of hope and liberty."
Circle Line suggests that ticket-holders arrive approximately two hours in advance to allow time for ferry boarding as it is on a first-come, first-served basis. This can mean a two-hour, when-are-we-going-to-get-there wait in the hot sun -- or rain -- in Battery Park.
At the end of this line, everyone is herded through an airport-like security checkpoint before boarding the ferry . Once on the island, those with the required ``time passes" -- tickets that allow visitors to enter the monument during a specified two-hour time frame -- face another long line with nary a bathroom or drinking fountain in sight. All backpacks, purses, lunch bags, strollers, and Game Boys must be stowed in lockers before you get in line to await the next level of security: a bomb detection device that loudly puffs air across everyone, then sniffs for explosive residue.
With the 354-step spiral staircase that leads to Liberty's crown permanently closed, the only reward for all this is . . . well . . . a view up Lady Liberty's skirt. But not until after waiting in another 20- to 30-minute line for the elevator up the statue's pedestal.
Having endured these lines on a recent trip, my family collapsed onto the ferry to Manhattan (after yet another line), feeling like a tired, poor, huddled mass .
``Both the National Park Service and our concessionaires do their best to move people along in a manner for a safe and enjoyable visit," Park Service spokesman Brian Feeney said in a telephone interview. ``We do everything possible to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit. That's the key."
But there is no getting around the security. Coast Guard speedboats armed with bow- and aft-mounted machine guns escort the ferries and low-flying military helicopters circle the island.
``The Statue of Liberty is the best -known icon in the world," Feeney said, ``and is a terrorist target not only in our current climate but in previous years. We always had the tightest security of any national monument in the nation."
Despite the hassles, the Statue of Liberty is a national treasure that should not be missed. My 5-year-old daughter has said repeatedly that she wants to visit again. But there are ways of making the trip less of an endurance test.
``No matter when you go, it's always good to catch the earlier boats," Feeney suggested. Ferries leave Battery Park every half-hour starting at 9:30 a.m., 8:30 in summer and on holiday weekends. Ferries also leave from Liberty State Park in Jersey City , where lines are often shorter.
The time passes, which are given to those who make advance reservations (with a limited number available on a walk-in basis), have improved the experience on Liberty Island, Feeney said. The passes have eliminated the two- to three-hour lines that would form outside the monument.
To avoid this line, skip the statue tour, especially if the kids are antsy. The spiral staircase to Liberty's crown closed on 9/11 and the Park Service has sealed off the statue's interior with a glass ceiling at the top of the pedestal. From this vantage point, the only real sense of the statue is a neck-craning view of its internal framework.
Instead, walk around the island's promenade and view Lady Liberty from the front. From here, her very size stirs emotion, a beautifully sculpted statue symbolic of what our country holds dear.
Exhibits along the walkway explain the history of the statue and New York Harbor. The Park Service also sells audio tours for $6 at the food and gift concessions.
To skip the lines altogether, take the free (yes, free) Staten Island Ferry. The huge ferries travel five miles across the harbor and pass in front of the statue. Ferries leave every half-hour from the terminal adjacent to Battery Park for the 25-minute-long journey.
Or visit in January or February when , Feeney said, ``you'll have the place to yourselves."

Becket to Start For Sox
Josh Beckett's first start of 2008 will still take place in a foreign country - it will just happen about two weeks later and 6,000 miles closer to home than the Boston Red Sox originally thought.
If he can stop the Toronto Blue Jays' offense, it will have been well worth Boston's wait.
Beckett will return from the disabled list to make his first start of 2008 on Sunday as he tries to help the Red Sox avoid a three-game sweep in Toronto.
Oddsmakers from Sportsbook.com have made Boston -110 money line favorites (MLB Odds) for tonight's game, the over/under has been set at 8 total runs (Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 80% of bets for this game have been placed on Boston -110 (View MLB Bet Percentages).
The 2007 AL Cy Young runner-up, Beckett (20-7, 3.27 ERA) was expected to be on the mound in the 2008 season opener in Japan for Boston (3-3) on March 25. Back spasms in spring training, though, landed him on the disabled list.
Beckett's start against the Blue Jays will be his first in a game that counts since he beat Colorado in Game 1 of the 2007 World Series, his final performance of a postseason in which he went 4-0 with a 1.20 ERA in helping the Red Sox win their second championship in four years.
Beckett was 2-1 with a 2.35 ERA last season in three starts against Toronto.
"He's all set," Red Sox manager Terry Francona told the team's official Web site. "He did his side in Florida. ... He did his stuff all there, felt good and he's good to go."
When he rejoined Boston on its trip to Toronto on Friday, Beckett had a different story, claiming his hip - not his back - kept him from stepping onto the mound in the team's first six games.
Even without Beckett, the Red Sox have gotten decent early work from their starters, who have a 3.54 ERA in 33 1-3 innings pitched. But Boston's bullpen has been a disaster against the Blue Jays (3-2), allowing nine runs in five innings in the first two games of this series.
Red Sox relievers gave up six runs in the eighth inning on Saturday as Toronto won 10-2. It was the fifth straight home victory for the Blue Jays over the Red Sox.
"At the beginning of the year, I think we're all struggling," Francona said, "especially when we get into games in the bullpen in the fifth or sixth to find roles, trying to get guys crisp, trying to find guys work."
Meanwhile, Toronto's bullpen has been outstanding, allowing just one run in 12 innings through the season's first five games.
The Blue Jays will counter Beckett with their own ace in Roy Halladay (0-1, 3.86). The right-hander pitched effectively in his season debut, giving up three earned runs in seven innings at New York on Tuesday, but was saddled with a 3-2 loss.
Unlike many of the Blue Jays, Halladay struggled against Boston in 2007, going 1-3 with a 5.94 ERA in five starts.
Boston slugger David Ortiz, who is batting .292 (21-for-72) with five home runs and 19 RBIs in his career against Halladay, will try once again to jump-start his 2008 season. He's hitting .091 (2-for-22) with two RBIs through six games.
Here are some top trends for today's game:
-TORONTO is 2-0 (+2.2 Units) against BOSTON this season
-1 of 1 games in this series have gone OVER THE TOTAL this season . (Over=+1.0 Units)
-HALLADAY is 76-34 (+25.5 Units) against the money line in home games since 1997. (Team's Record)
-BECKETT is 41-19 (+20.7 Units) against the money line when the total is 8 to 8.5 since 1997. (Team's Record)
-BECKETT is 17-3 (+13.3 Units) against the money line in day games over the last 2 seasons. (Team's Record)

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- NATO's top commander renewed an appeal Friday for allies to urgently provide up to 2,500 troops for the battle with Taliban insurgents in southern Afghanistan, but officials said it likely would take two weeks before governments reply.
Gen. James L. Jones told a closed meeting of ambassadors from the 26 NATO allies that Poland's welcome offer of 900 troops in February had not diminished the immediate need for more troops, planes and helicopters, according to officials at NATO headquarters.
Diplomats said they expected the call for more troops to feature at a meeting of allied foreign ministers Thursday in New York, but said decisions likely will have to wait until defense ministers gather Sept. 28-29 in Slovenia.
They said governments needed time to assess what forces they could make available, to test political support for deployment and to find funding for such a mission.
Officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was closed.
Canada announced Friday that it was sending tanks and about 200 more soldiers to Afghanistan, bringing its total commitment to 2,500 troops.
Last week, Jones said the reinforcements were needed to pursue the Taliban before the onset of winter enabled them to take refuge in the hills.
Allies have been reluctant to commit forces, as they already are stretched by other international missions and are worried about the risk of high casualties from the tough Taliban resistance.
Although key allies such as Spain, Italy and Turkey have said they would not send combat troops, NATO commanders said they were confident of eventually getting the reinforcements. The delay, however, meant they had less time to be effective before the snows set in.
