SAN DIEGO —— North San Diego business leaders are hoping to improve representation and exposure of businesses in the region by merging two chambers of commerce on July 1.
The consolidation of the I-15 Diamond Gateway Chamber and the Rancho Bernardo Chamber of Commerce will mean access to a wider geographical area, more political clout to help pass business-friendly legislation, and exposure to a larger audience of customers, said Gary Powers, the president and chief executive officer of the Rancho Bernardo chamber. Powers will hold the same position when the chambers merge under the tentative name San Diego North Chamber of Commerce.
Powers said the consolidation will allow the organizations to more effectively serve their combined member base of 1,000 businesses within Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs, Scripps Ranch, Mira Mesa, Miramar, Sorrento Mesa, Torrey Highlands and 4S Ranch.
The Diamond Gateway Chamber, which is about 17 years old, covers many of those areas but its smaller membership of about 220 businesses has struggled to provide enough support to each region, said board secretary Rhonda Norton. She said the consolidation will provide more staff and volunteers to address these areas.
"We will be more effective in our current geographical area," Norton said. "When you have more volunteers and more office staff, you can do so much more."
Powers said the 780-member Rancho Bernardo chamber, which will celebrate its 25th anniversary June 9, has plenty of members but a smaller geographic area. Combining the groups just made sense, he said.
Powers said the Rancho Bernardo chamber already assists Diamond Gateway at several of its events, such as the Fiesta de los Penasquitos and the Salute the Military Golf Tournament.
"It was just kind of a natural for us to join together," Powers said.
The 630-member Poway Chamber of Commerce considered and decided against being part of the merger in March.
The Rancho Bernardo and Diamond Gateway chamber boards will be combined in the merge, with most, if not all, directors remaining in their current positions. Businesses that now belong to both organizations will save money with just one set of dues, Powers said.
The merge was approved in a recent election, starting May 1, by members of both chambers. Powers said of the 172 ballots, only five were against the change.
"It was overwhelming on both sides," he said.
The new organization is designing a Web site that will include separate pages on each community within its jurisdiction, and has already registered under several Internet domain names, including www.sdncc.com, Powers said.
The two boards will schedule a planning conference after the July 1 merge to decide what existing and new programs to sponsor. Both offices will remain open until their leases expire. Powers said the board is searching for one location, but may keep the Rancho Bernardo office at 11650 Iberia Place, Suite 220.
"Unless we can find a space that fits our budget, we won't be moving," Powers said.
Diamond Gateway member Kathy Cazin, president of Account Keepers of San Diego, said she voted for the merge although she is sad her chamber will be closing.
She said she realized that the consolidation is in the best interest of both groups because there will be more networking, resources and business opportunities for all.
"When any organization is growing, merging takes place and you lose that small intimate group that you share with," Cazin said. "You have to go to the next level and I think that is where we are going. The combining of people and of resources just makes more sense."
Larry Herring, the owner and clinic director of Herring Chiropractic in Rancho Bernardo, said his business is a member of both chambers. He said he voted for the merge because it will provide more business opportunities while decreasing overhead for his operation.
He said his only fear is that the merge will result in a loss of power for smaller businesses.
"I would be very upset if it migrated into a larger chamber that only appreciated larger businesses and did not recognize the contribution of smaller businesses," Herring said.

Quentin Tarantino crashed the Before Watchmen panel today to announce that DC Comics will take the entire first draft of Django Unchained and turn it into a five issue series that arrives in November.
"Django Unchained takes the movie's story and tells it as a comic book," said Tarantino, "with story aspects that aren't in the movie. The comic will literally be the entire movie's script."
And what is the big secret Tarantino hides in the tale?
JoBlo.com quotes Tarantino as saying that Django and his wife Broomhilda Von Shaft are the great, great, great, grandparents of John Shaft.
Can you dig it?

Gallus ignored the provocation, saying only, "I have my price—"
"Keep your coins." Disappointed, Eucher rose and walked away.
Gallus always asked to buy his freedom. Asked every month. Like most slaves, he accumulated fees and gifts. Though he could meet the market price, he couldn't meet Eucher's.
Gallus was a boy, as all slaves were boys, though he was only a year younger than Eucher. His face already revealed the man. His cheeks had sprouted a beard, that brush of hair that demanded a change of life for both of them. But as with many things, what was decent to do was not what Eucher did.
"You know what happens to freedmen," Eucher said. "They work, selling and buying like whores, all to rival their betters. Gold doesn't buy good sense. Not even family give you that. The gods play dice with us. Besides, what would you do? I know! Haha! You'd become a monk. You! Wearing rags and preaching chastity. You wouldn't be in the desert a week before some monk would have you warming his bed. Even Christians know what you're good for. Get my whip!"
Gallus rose from the floor, his jaw clenched.
Eucher said, "Don't tell me you want no penance. Of course you do." Eucher poured more wine and watched Gallus leave the room.
As he waited, his bitter humor faded, replaced as it often was by anxiety.
Vultures circled. They had circled him since his birth. He forced the dark thoughts away. He would take pleasure from this day, from this moment, from Gallus.
The euphoria lasted longer than usual.
Gallus assumed his physical weakness was a sign of his moral weakness. He lay across the couch back, feeling the throbbing cuts on his back as he worked to control his breathing and tears. With his foggy perceptions, he wasn't sure who was tending the cuts on his back, but the touch was delicate.
Gallus awoke with a start some time later. He had passed out across the couch arm. He rose, and his back stung as broken skin tried to contract. He was alone in the room. Fresh wine and fruit rested on the table in front of him. He put on his tunic and sat down gently.
He was hungry, but he wasn't sure he should eat. He wasn't sure what he deserved. He wasn't sure how he could best show his love. What did God want of him?

DVD Times - Universal 'Gangster' titles on US BD in October
Cool....both cuts of American Gangster? I'm there. Also picking up Eastern Promises. Been waiting patiently for both.
Definite improvement on that American Gangster disc over the HD DVD I own. If I was a fan, this would be an obvious upgrade, but I won't be upgrading because I found the film rather so-so.
Awesome, I cannot wait for this set! AG wasnt my favorite film but I'm interested in seeing the theatrical cut, and I really regretted handing off Eastern Promises HD DVD so I'm looking forward to doing that review! And Casino is Casino, what more is there to say except that HAS to be awesome.
Count me in for the box set!
Now that Casino is coming in, I think we can expect stuff like Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas I guess?
I wouldn't be too sure. After all, I think the only reason we're seeing this gangster box set is to take advantage of a cross-promotion opportunity with The Godfather trilogy. That and these films have a wider appeal than Fear and Loathing. The best bet for a Fear and Loathing BD release is a new Depp film coming to home video or the theaters.
I'll also be getting this set. Time to Ebay some more HD DVD's.
Wow Universal, thanks for the price break on purchasing the 3 movie set! ($89.98 SRP vs $29.98 SRP individually)
You can thank me for American Gangster. I bought the 3 disc set blind the other week. Still haven't watched it but I opened it so it can't go back. I used to be so good at smelling double dips too. Oh well.

Click here to read about updates to the T-Intersection Concept.
3 Comments
brian December 30, 2014
As a pedestrian, I believe that all 3 of the concepts would be a marked improvement upon the current situation. However, none of them will be successful without traffic enforcement. Red lights and crosswalks mean nothing when drivers ignore them and block intersections.
As an occasional driver, the Triangle park option offers no protection to drivers northbound on 14th street attempting to access Penn Ave (the status quo). This option also continues the oddity of Potomac Ave (southbound) merging into or crossing Penn. at a strange angle. I do not see any real benefit to local drivers in this option.
Both of the other 2 options both appear to provide a complete intersection at 14th and Penn. to turn safely onto, or to cross, Penn Ave. However, neither clearly offers a stoplight for Potomac Ave traffic to enter Penn Ave safely, in either direction. Installation of a complete traffic light or controlled intersection on both ends where Potomac Ave meets Penn Ave would help.
Additionally, only the Ellipse Park offers a protected Bus drop-off/pick-up at the metro. this is a very important detail so that buses do not impede Penn Ave traffic (if that is a goal). there appears to be NO protected bus area on the SW corner of Penn/Potomac in any of the options, meaning that buses will continue to use traffic lanes.
Gene Imhoff January 1, 2015
Obviously, all three options are a big improvement for pedestrians crossing Pa Ave.
For bus riders and Potomac drivers, the best choice is Ellipse.
For pedestrians, the best choice is Rectangle – since the sharp turns will slow drivers.
For Pennsylvania Ave drivers, the Triangle is the best, but this is the least effective at safeguarding pedestrians.
Overall, Ellipse is the best compromise so far.

But they prefer the air conditioning I assure you. At any rate, Sable unlike Lucy was a wood chewer and managed to destroy most of the molding on the door and on the frame. Well Sable has been with me five years this Christmas and I CAN NOT believe it's taken me this long to take the door down and put new molding up and repaint the door. It's been one of those things I've intended to do for some time. Hopefully, she's past the wood chewing stage. After

Before and After
Before When I got my girls five years ago I had one of those full view glass doors. Soon I realized I didn't want Lucy, my first dog, to stay outside all day nor did I want her to have to stay inside for a 13 plus hour day. So I had to modify the door to put in a pet door and I've never regretted it. When I got Sable, the black lab, she just followed Lucy in and out. I would close them off in this partioned area and they could go outside or stay inside in the cage or by the door.

Helpful Hint
I've found a lot of so-called helpful hints on line and many seem bogus or at least they don't work for me. But in this case I was very pleased to learn that latex gloves work great at raking up pet hair off carpet (in this case my truck) and upholstery. The most discouraging thing as a pet owner has been keeping things as clean as I once did. I don't think I was neurotic before but maybe. I'm not quite sure. But between dust, I have a pet door and they come in and out a multitude of times a day, and pet hair from my Golden it's easy to be overwhelmed. So I was pleased to learn of this tip and how easy it makes vacuuming now. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Cooler Weather Brings Privileges
With the days getting a bit cooler, the girls are riding with me more often as I run errands. The mid day sun is still much too hot for them to be in a parked car for any length of time though. But when I got out of my truck the other day this lady was telling me that it gives dogs cataracts to ride with their head out the window. Damn. Always something or someone raining on my parade. I never get on the freeway at high rates of speed with the window down but driving around Sugar Land less than 50 mph much of the time hopefully is no harm to them.

As announcements of the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind began to pop up — it was released on Sept. 24, 1991 — I remembered back to when I first heard the band's music.
I was heading into my senior year of high school when Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video was just starting to hit the airwaves in 1991. In those days, you always got your music through MTV first — they still played videos the majority of the time instead of constant repeats of orange-toned Jersey Shore personalities and pregnant teenagers.
I remember hearing the song and enjoying the video — images of cheerleaders with anarchy symbols on their tanktops and free-for-all mosh pits breaking out in a gymnasium — but also wondering what the hell Kurt Cobain was singing. Something about an albino mosquito and his libido…? I wasn't quite sure, but I didn't really care, either. For so many people, the song's energy summed up the attitude of the time — a sense of rebellion was needed in music.
There were two strains of thought going through my head when I heard the song. The first was the idea that some new fantastic band was breaking new ground and going in a direction I'd never heard before. I was both fascinated and excited to hear more.
The second idea was that this was a one-hit wonder or simply the one softer song on a metal band's heavy album. After all, in the video, they all had long hair, Dave Grohl was thrashing away on his drums — one could easily assume that things were going to get heavier on the album.
While Pearl Jam's Ten had been released a month earlier, the sound was a bit more straightforward. Nirvana's entry combined rock elements with something a bit more punk and metal while also stirring in some of the blues in combination with angst and unrest.
The following year, Stone Temple Pilots released its debut album Core and while it sounded like it could fit into the same grunge vein as Pearl Jam and Nirvana, there was still hesitation that it would slide into metal or another already familiar genre. After all, in the beginning of 1992, Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power was unleashed and while the softer "This Love" made it onto MTV, the rest of the album was a whole lot heavier.
It was an odd time to be witness to the musical landscape because something new and different was coming out all the time. None of it sounded familiar. Gone was the hair metal of the 1980s with bands like Poison, Motley Crue and Whitesnake unable to redefine themselves. Flannel walked the earth with pride, and not just on the backs of lumberjacks.
What's interesting is that I feel like music has hit that place again. There hasn't been one band to break out of the mold and launch an overwhelming movement. The landscape these days is filled with bands that mold and combine genres into something new… but much like The Beatles introduced rock, Nirvana launched grunge.
Who, or what, will be next?
You can hear a handful of local bands pay tribute to the music of the 1990s, including Nirvana, at a concert at the Chop Shop on Sept. 23.
Also, in celebration of the 20th anniversary, there will be Deluxe and Super Deluxe Editions of the album released on Sept. 27 featuring rare and previously unreleased performances. Configurations range from a 4-CD/1-DVD Super Deluxe Edition to a standard digital/CD remaster of the original album.

Please please do NOT use this company - they were terrible from start to finish. They arrived late, tore up my apartment moving the furniture out - stopped for lunch on my time, and that's not even the worst of it. Once at my new house, they proceded to drop a washing machine ("but it was slippery!" these professionals complained), ram a couch through a doorway completely gouging the door frame ("that's a big couch!" they complained again), gouged the hardwood floors in multiple locations, scraped the walls up the entire length of the stairs ("oh did we do that?"), ruined an antique dresser by completely gouging the front of it, broke the leg off another dresser, punched a hole in the ceiling... I could go on. This was by far the absolute worst moving experience I have ever had - do not make the same mistake I did - go with a company that employs actual professionals
Was very impressed with how this company handle the entire moving process. From start to finish. My wife and I have moved at least 20 times over the years and this group of guys was by far the best bunch of guys. Handled everything with care and really went out of there wat to make sure everything was done the right way.
From Local.com
One of the workers was very rude when I begged him to wrap my furniture, as misleading shown on their website. He said, "I've been doing this for 12 years!" I was in tears by the end of the move. I tipped them hoping for the best, to no avail, since they held all my belongings hostage. They broke my expensive Crate&Barrel Kingston 52 Media Console. When I offered to send Jeremy photos of the broken piece he angrily shouted, "Yeah, you can send me photos and I'll give your address to "----" (he named one of the employees he'd potentially fire) to your house and you can deal with it. So not only did he threaten to violate my privacy and send angry employees my way, he wants to blame me for making people "lose their jobs." No integrity whatsoever. He breaks your furniture, you get threatened. I haven't been compensated, or even apologized to, for my loss. I used 4 different moving companies in NYC, and I've never witnessed such thuggish behavior.

Have you played with the GoPro?
If not, you are missing out, and need to get your hands on one. Previously, I had used a GoPro 2 at a wedding that I was shooting. We were supposed to go out on some jet skis in San Diego with the groom, but unfortunately those plans got scrapped once we got down there. We did, however, use the camera during the ceremony, as a third camera in the very back. It was a great experience, and really shows the amazing quality of the camera.
Check out this amazing compilation of Hero 3 footage from GoPro:
Wow! What an amazing video. I tried to do my best with the video at the top of this post, but the Video School Online team may need to get some sweet underwater shots to compete with the GoPro team of cinematographers! Seriously though, the camera is amazing. For how small it is – it gets astounding footage. I was watching sports on television a few months ago, and they had aerial shots from some helicopters flying overhead. What cameras were they using? The GoPro! Crazy! They had switched the 25+ pound camera rigs on the bottom of each helicopter with a 1 pound GoPro! The footage looked just as good!
Click here to get the best deals on the new HERO3!
I'll be taking the GoPro Hero3 to the Philippines with me. I hope to get some cool ocean shots – in the waves, underwater, snorkeling. We'll see what I can get. The underwater housing option that the GoPro gives cinematographers, makes it a very economical option for getting great shots. So I am very excited for that.
Compared to the original GoPro and the GoPro 2, the Hero3 is smaller, lighter, and shoots better quality video. It shoots up to 4k footage – that is twice as good as 1080 HD footage. It also shoots 60 fps (frames per second) in 1080p. This means you can get some amazing slow-motion (slo-mo) shots.
At under $400, this camera is a great one to have in your tool kit. Of course, the GoPro can't replace the customization of a DSLR or a better camera such as the RED, or ARRI Alexa – but it does some things better. You can put it anywhere: on your head, underwater, on your car, etc. And it still gets great quality footage. You can't strap a RED camera to the side of your motorcycle without risking the camera and the rider. But with the GoPro, you can!
After I get back from the Philippines, I'll have to see if I want to purchase the GoPro Hero3 for myself. For now, I am very happy to borrow it, and test it out from my good friend Sam.

Ward boy arrested for molesting 8-yr-old girl
The accused Omkar Hardankar has been charged under IPC section 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) and sections under the Protection Of Children From Sexual Offences Act 2012.
The victim, a Std II student, was visiting a local hospital near her Malwani residence with her 40-year-old mother on Sunday evening. When her mother went in to get an MRI scan, the ward boy sitting at the reception of the MRI section exposed his private parts to the child.
The girl, who was disturbed by this incident, narrated it to her mother upon reaching home. The victim's mother later filed a complaint with the Malad police on Tuesday and the accused was nabbed on Wednesday.

I have seen where this issue was a reported bug, but that was only one instance, and I don't see any other mention, so I am skeptical. I just upgraded to 4.2.4. I am running Core on a CentOS 6.7. The upgrade seemed to go fine - I have executed several of these at this point. However when I get logged into the web interface, I cannot search for hosts by IP. I get the following error:
It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested...
If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.
Is this actually a bug? I found a couple of past questions on this, and tried everything suggested, but it made no difference.
If you need copies of my files let me know. I am very appreciative of the help! Thanks

Music is Music: Floating Points
From a young age, Sam Shepherd has rejected the idea of neat, tidy musical categories. He studied classical piano growing up, but felt confined by what he calls the "dots on a page." It wasn't until he heard a performer really making a classical piece his own, breaking out of strictly classical feel, that he was hooked. That was Michaelangeli performing a Brahms Ballade in d minor.
Now, Shepherd writes music under the alias "Floating Points." Influences of classical, jazz, electronica, pop, and world music all blend to create a sound that doesn't fit squarely into any one style.
This podcast features a piece titled "Peroration Six," which Shepherd describes as careening towards and then falling into a black hole.
To find out more about the music of "Floating Points," check out the website.
If you like "Peroration Six," take a look at this mesmerizing visualization paired with that piece, posted on Floating Points' YouTube channel:
Music is Music is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Review for Park Place Bodywerks Auto Body and Collision Repair Center
Tonya S. on 07/15/2015
Tonya said this business provided her a terrible rental vehicle through Enterprise. The vehicle had stained seats front and back, there were issues with transmission to where the vehicle jumped and it smelled awful. Vernon did a phenomenal job with the estimate of the vehicle. The person who helped her with rental vehicle made her feel rushed her and she was unable to do a complete inspection of the vehicle and she had no choice but to take this vehicle.

I work in public relations. I really wanted to turn into a white swan, and love myself. I got this by filming in erotica as a way to show myself to be a little more confident. My hobbies are rollerskating, dancing and collecting magnets depicting different cities. Our life is so short and you need to try yourself in different spheres of activity, especially if you can do it right way. There's some confusion about her age. Her Model Info sheet says 21, her site details say 20 but the MET Art Blog made a point of the fact that she's 24! (D)

I just had a startling experience while cooking dinner. A bottle of Virgil's Zero Root Beer that was sitting on the floor of the kitchen suddenly exploded while I walked past it. The cat and I both jumped a foot in the air. I had a moment of panicked confusion while I wondered how anything I was cooking could have exploded - then I saw the bottle pieces and the soda all over the floor. I guess I'm just lucky I wasn't leaning over it, otherwise I might have gotten glass in my face and not just in my arm.
I've never heard of this happening with anything but homemade, homebottled carbonated beverages before. Have any of you?

ScalerField as a reaction rate
Dear All
I am going to use the incident radiation as a part of the chemical reaction rate. As I know the solvers such as reactingfoam get a constant rate not a scalerfield. I wonder if there is any way to introduce a scalerfield as a reaction rate in the chemical solvers.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards
your question is too general, at least post the equation of your reaction, in general, the answer of your question is almost yes
Dear Nima
Thank you for your reply. Assume two species H2O2 and OH that dissolved in the water. Water is the inert component and does not appear in the reactions.
There are two reactions:
1-H2O2->2OH rate=k1*G*[H2O2]
2-2OH->H2O2 rate=k2*[OH]*[OH]
Assume that k1 and k2 are constant scalars and G is an available scalar field such as incident radiation.
So we have:
Thanks in advance
P.S: In which university you are studying?
fvScalarMatrix firstEqn
Dear Nima,
Thank you for your reply.
I know that we can define any ODEs in OF and I did it already.
The problem is that the set of transport equations of the species is stiff and does not converge.
It seems that the OF solvers such as reactingFoam use some kind of limiters and adjust the time step in a way that the solution converges.
I want to use the OF chemistry solvers that are used in reactingFoam. I want to modify the reactinFOAM solver and define an arbitrary scalar field for it. Do you know how I should do this?
P.S.: I am studying in University of Tehran
sorry Dear Mostafa
i did not work with reactingFoam, so i can't be helpful here, you need to dig the code to find where that variable is used and whether it possible to change it or not.
How much are you familiar with OpenFOAM coding?
I am quite familiar but there are a lot of things for learning. How about you? What's your field?

In 1858, the City of New York held a design competition for Central Park. The winning plan, by Frederic Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, was named 'the Greensward Plan' and featured an English style landscape with meadows, lakes, hills, winding pedestrian paths, and many trees to block the view of city buildings.
Over the years, the park has evolved from the original plan due to changing administrations and in response to the changing needs of New Yorkers. In this post, we look at some quirky and surprising details in the park that were not a part of the original Greensward Plan, yet have become a part of its history and character.
Pictured above is Belvedere Castle which was built to overlook the rectangular Croton Reservoir. In 1931, the reservoir was drained and the site developed into today's Great Lawn.
Where to find it: Mid-Park from 79th to 85th Street.
Sheep grazing in Central Park in 1930 (From the Herbert Mitchell Collection/Metropolitan Museum of Art)
1. Sheep's Meadow
On the original Greensward plan, this area was marked as a parade ground for military drills, at the insistence of the Park's Commissioners and despite considerable objections by Olmsted and Vaux. But by 1864, the designers had reclaimed the open space and transitioned it into a beautiful meadow and a grazing area for 200 sheep, called 'The Green'. According to the NYC Parks and Recreation Department, the designers suggested that the sheep enhanced the Romantic English quality of the park, as well as maintained the lawn.
Eventually, the sheep were moved to Prospect Park in Brooklyn in 1934, possibly to avoid being used for food by people during The Great Depression. The former Sheepfold, which had housed sheep and shepherd, was converted into the restaurant The Tavern on the Green.
Where to find it: Below is a photo of Sheep's Meadow today, on the West Side from 66th to 69th Streets. See more vintage photos of sheep in Central Park and Brooklyn's Prospect Park here.
2. The Survey Bolt
The bolt in this Central Park rock is believed to be one of the original survey bolts from when the city grid was first planned in 1811. Led by John Randel, surveyors had the task of marking each future street intersection aligned with the grid. They used marble monuments or iron bolts where there was exposed bedrock. The bolts bore a cross across the top.
Very few of these markers exist anymore. Most were removed as roads and intersections were built. However, Central Park was not a part of the original plan for the city, known as The Commissioners' Plan of 1811, so street intersection points may have been marked according to the grid, and left to remain since no intersection was actually built here.
This bolt is known to be in the park, but the exact location is kept a secret for fear that it will be stolen or destroyed. After some intense searching of both the internet and park, you might be able to find it like I did.
Where to find it: We aren't telling! (…And we request that our readers refrain from doing so in the comments.)

3. The Revolutionary war-era cannon in the park which was found fully loaded this year
This cannon, which is thought to be 230 years old, has a dramatic history. It was used on a British ship which sank, then submerged in the East River for decades. It was salvaged and anonymously donated to the park on October 10, 1865, around the time of the Civil War. After being moved to various places around the park, it was eventually installed at Fort Clinton in 1905. There, it remained on public display until 1996 when the Central Park Conservancy decided to bring it indoors to protect it from vandalism. Just a few months ago, in January 2013, workers were cleaning it when they found it was fully loaded with gunpowder and a cannonball. It was ready to fire this whole time!
Here is the site today:
The cannon is presently in storage and undergoing intense conservation work. Eventually, it will be reinstalled for the public to view at Fort Clinton. The gunpowder has been removed, though the cannonball was left inside. Read more about the cannon's history and conservation process here.
Where to find it: Fort Clinton is located at 107th Street, close to 5th Avenue.
4. McGowan's Pass
These stone walls are the ruins of the 1842 Academy of Mount St. Vincent, today known as McGowan's Pass. After St. Vincent's moved out in the 1850s, the original buildings were used for a hotel, a restaurant, and a museum. During the Civil War they may have been used as a hospital and rehab for wounded soldiers. Frederick Law Olmsted and his family lived here while Olmsted directed the landscaping of the Park. On the original Greensward Plan, it is marked "Mount St Vincent, House of Refreshment".
The original Mount Saint Vincent buildings burned in 1881, but another tavern was built in its place. The last restaurant at the pass, McGown's Pass Tavern, was closed and razed in 1915-1917. However its driveways and foundations remain and the Central Park Conservancy uses it as a mulching and composting area. On my recent visit, it was used as the temporary dumping site for park debris caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Where to find it: Behind the Conservatory Gardens at 105th Street, at the top edge of the steep hill.
5. Bench Plaques
The park is, of course, still evolving and new design details are being added in more recent times. Since 1986, the Central Park Conservancy has run the Adopt-A-Bench program as a way to maintain its more than 9,000 benches. For $7,500, you can adopt a green bench and personalize the plaque. (The rustic handmade benches cost $25,000 to adopt.) In return, the conservancy will maintain the bench forever. The benches tell stories of loss, declarations of love, and memories of loved ones. Featuring children, parents, pets, and the occasional celebrity, reading the plaques mirrors the experience of people watching in New York. Pictured are a few of our favorites.
Where to find it: Throughout the park.
6. Playgrounds
No playgrounds or ball fields were included in the original Greensward Plan. Around the turn of the century, advocates and planners began to argue the need for such spaces, however, even into the 1920s, only about 9 percent of the park was devoted to playfields or special programed events. When the Heckscher Playground opened 1926, it was the first equipped playground within the park. Today, the park has 21 playgrounds, each one with its own unique features and history. The Diana Ross playground is among the youngest, and it has a great story.
Diana Ross dreamed of sponsoring a playground in the park with funds raised from televising her July 1983 free concert on the Great Lawn – but the concert was a legendary disaster. First, a thunderstorm drenched 350,000 spectators, ending the show early. The next night Diana offered another performance, during which the crowd became out of control and stampeded the stage. After leaving the Great Lawn, concert-goers were robbed and beaten by muggers on nearby streets. The concerts which were intended to raise funds wound up costing the city over $2 million dollars, and Ross claimed she didn't have the money either. A few years later, Ross donated $250,000, and the dream was realized.
The ordeal was referenced in by the Beastie Boys in their 2004 song, "An Open Letter to NYC":
You didn't rob me in the park at Diana Ross/
But everybody started looting when the light went off.
Where to find it: Central Park West at 81st Street.

Months after making national headlines for supporting offshore oil drilling, the county famous for spawning the modern environmental movement reversed course Tuesday and voted to oppose the drilling.
The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, citing a need to preserve its coastline, voted 3-2 for a resolution to oppose oil exploration and extraction in the county.
The resolution, which will be sent to President Barack Obama and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, is largely symbolic since the board lacks authority to allow or prevent drilling. However, drilling critics said the vote was timely since the Department of Interior is scheduled to discuss oil and gas leasing next week.
Assemblyman Pedro Nava, D-Santa Barbara, called the resolution "a welcome change" from the board's 3-2 vote in August to ask the governor to change state policy and allow for drilling off the county coast.
Proponents of the drilling said it would provide a new revenue stream for the cashed-strapped county and that modern advancements have made drilling safer than ever. Opponents have called the letter to Schwarzenegger misleading because it was based on faulty studies.
The first resolution was passed last summer when gas was nearly $5 a gallon and domestic oil and gas production were key topics during the presidential race, prompting Republican John McCain to visit Santa Barbara to highlight his support for offshore drilling. Gas prices have since dropped by more than half and President Obama has taken office.
The board introduced the new resolution after a supervisor who supported drilling left the board.
For nearly three decades, the federal Outer Continental Shelf off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the eastern Gulf of Mexico were protected by a drilling ban. Then last year, with gas prices at record levels, Congress and the Bush administration lifted the bans on expanding offshore drilling.
Nava has introduced a state resolution calling for the federal moratorium to be reinstated, saying California can send a strong message to the government about the importance of preserving the environment.
Offshore drilling has long been a touchy issue in Santa Barbara, a tony coastal community 100 miles north of Los Angeles. A disaster at a Union Oil Co. platform in 1969 coated miles of beaches with oil, killed thousands of birds and helped lead to the Clean Water Act and a moratorium on offshore drilling.
