Purple corn and "ugly" vegetables: how neighbors build sustainable urban farms
Claire Charlton
Monday, February 25, 2019
Israel Ledesma of Habitat for Humanity Kent County and Maria Moreno-Reyes are proud of the garden the community has built.

Roosevelt Park Community Garden is resting before sprouting spring crops.

Kathy Antaya and Maria Moreno-Reyes live in two different cities in two different parts of Michigan. They probably don't even know one another. But what they share is ingenuity, strength, and a mission to give added purpose to existing land in their own communities.
In Battle Creek and Grand Rapids, Antaya and Moreno-Reyes are farming land and growing healthy, culturally-significant produce. But they're also looking to the future by experimenting with sustainability to keep their gardens viable for years to come.
From an empty lot in Grand Rapids' Roosevelt Park...
It was five years ago when Moreno-Reyes broke ground with a few of her neighbors on a disused plot in her
Roosevelt Park
neighborhood in Grand Rapids. She was inspired after attending a conference in Muskegon for the
Neighborhood Associations of Michigan
, where she learned how people were beautifying spaces in creative ways.
"The whole idea behind [the association] is to help residents within cities learn how to keep crime down and be a good neighbor and utilize what you have," says Moreno-Reyes. "They are a partner to beautify a space, to change a sore eye in the neighborhood by bringing it to life."
A portion of the garden is dedicated to community gathering and relaxation.
At the same time,
Habitat for Humanity of Kent County
was seeking community input about how to beautify the neighborhood. Moreno-Reyes had her eye on the vacant land, hoping Habitat could acquire it. "I said we could do a welcome garden or something, and they thought I was crazy," says Moreno-Reyes. "But I knew it would be utilized. Parents come to pick their kids up from school and then sit around in conversation, waiting for the bell to ring. What better place to have a garden?"

The plan started to take hold, and pretty soon, neighbors were tilling and fertilizing, growing crops that made sense to them. "Maybe eight families got together and rented from Habitat a 3 by 20 foot space for $5. We were able to grow peppers and tomatoes," says Moreno-Reyes. Eventually the neighbors pieced together a short fence and dubbed the space Roosevelt Park Community Garden.
"We started thinking about what our garden needed. We were tilling and preparing and utilizing every resource possible," says Moreno-Reyes. Recognizing the need for sprinklers, garden hose, and seedlings, Moreno-Reyes applied for a Neighborhood Match Fund
through the City of Grand Rapids and was awarded $2,500, the maximum grant, which they used to fund a fence, with help from Habitat, donated materials from
, and the generosity of those with fence-building skills.
...grow neighbors who connect with their ethnic roots
The crops grown help the dozen or so families connect to their own ethnic identities, says Moreno-Reyes. "We have two Puerto Rican families, an African American family, three Anglo families, and the rest are Guatemalan," says Moreno-Reyes, who is Mexican and her husband, Victor, is Guatemalan. From purple beans, to banana peppers, to cilantro, onions, potatoes, and bell peppers, tomatoes, pinto beans, and tomatillos, neighbors are growing what they enjoy eating--and they're testing their farming skills with ethnic speciality crops.
"I went to Guatemala and was taken right back to my grandmother's era. Purple corn and black beans were huge, and I was geeked at seeing the corn," says Moreno-Reyes, adding that purple corn, central to her Mayan ancestry, is proving difficult to grow.

"My husband grew about 12 stalks, and out of all of them we only got one decent ear that we will use as seed to grow this year."
By using her freezer, Moreno-Reyes has not had to buy tomatoes in three years, and another family preserves salsa to sell and help pay their bills, she says. "We have been able to maintain our traditions through the farming piece. We are learning that you have to bust your behind to have something fresh."
Cultivating a future
To create sustainability, neighbors have this year agreed to sell all excess produce at the Cesar E. Chavez Farmers Market in Roosevelt Park. "And that profit goes to the garden to pay for our water. Habitat pays for it now. We will make the garden self-sufficient some day," says Moreno-Reyes.
Habitat's support is consistent with the its mission, says Israel Ledesma, neighborhood resident development manager. "This is one of the last Latino communities linked to downtown, so there is a high need for preservation," he says, noting the increased commercial investment outside the neighborhood perimeter. "The garden has been all about sharing and creating a sense of community for people to feel part of this neighborhood."
Each crop is visible evidence of the neighbors' collective efforts. What's less visible, but just as important, are the skills they are gaining through accountability.
"These are different pathways for taking on that responsibility. Looking at prices, getting quotes, making calls and talking to those they normally wouldn't. This is a way for them to practice their English, but also to figure how many bricks are needed for a project. This is all helping them step out of their norm," Ledesma says.
Visit a green space, learn about an urban farm
Sixty-five miles away, Kathy Antaya is transforming existing green space in Battle Creek into an urban farm that grows produce from the everyday to the esoteric. She's helping the farm establish sustainability, and challenging herself to set down her hoe and spread the word about 365 Urban Farm at
Leila Arboretum
Gardening 365
program includes community garden beds taken under the wing of the significant Burmese refugee population in Battle Creek, several outdoor plots, and, true to the 365 in the name, a couple of hoophouses.
The program's mission is three-fold: to attract people to the arboretum to visit the farm stand and tour the property, to help people--especially children--understand how plants impact our daily lives, and to support the community garden to ease food insecurity that exists in the neighborhoods that surround the 85-acre space, named for Leila Post Montgomery, wife of C.W. Post of cereal fame, who donated the land to Battle Creek in 1922.
"We do not advertise widely, but we do so closely," says Antaya, referring to signs scattered around the property and at schools and churches. The reason is simple. Antaya wants the produce to go to neighbors who need it most. "I'd rather those who have a car, money, and access to go downtown to our farmstand." The arboretum market accepts EBT, WIC Project FRESH, and Senior Project FRESH.
Vegetables should be eaten, not wasted
Antaya wants families with income challenges to recognize that the farmstand prices are lower than the supermarket, and there is less waste because "even ugly vegetables deserve to be eaten," she says. "We don't discard what a lot of farms would consider seconds." Leftover produce is donated to
Haven of Rest
or to local food pantries. Antaya and her colleagues have learned to select culturally-appropriate vegetables for the pantry they donate to, including okra, collards, and mustard greens for pantries that serve a black population.
The farm is centrally located to the Washington Heights and Urbandale neighborhoods in Battle Creek.
"One of the things we do is grow food...that we believe is culturally appropriate for the folks around here," she says. Talking with farmstand customers about how to enjoy
turnips, for example, also broadens their nutritional palates. Their library of recipes helps people step out of their food comfort zone and try something new.
"By going with what our gut says, we are addressing the food insecurity issue and serving a lot of people," Antaya says, adding that she's focusing on sustainability this year, which will come from 365's ability to supply speciality produce to upscale area restaurants. She's working now to spread the word about how 365 can be a source for restaurants that want to serve nutritious, hyperlocal fresh foods to customers.
Umami Ramen
in Battle Creek is a perfect customer for speciality Thai basil that they grow, and
BC helps by reselling bigger, easier-to-grow crops.
"Sprout was the big name with the initial thrust in our community to address food access through the community garden," says Antaya. "I owe them a great deal and we have used that initial community garden model as a springboard to move onto other things."

actually wait, presumably the telltale store is no longer up, so do i even still own a digital copy of wallace & gromit?
i have the disc version so it's not a huge deal, but a bit more annoying if I want to play on tiny computer
OK, the telltale store is still up
it looks like I have another digital copy of everything I owned on there other than W&G and TOMI, but redownloading the installers for those just in case I ever lose the discs
telltale, wallace & gromit's grand adventures
ah, now i'm remembering the issues with this
it's fine to use an impersonator when the original VA is too ill to play the role, but Wallace's VA here is very noticeably different - there are some moments where he nails it but it gives an odd feeling even from the start.
the bigger problem is the controls - this was one of telltale's first games with controller support, and it shows - even when using mouse, the hotspots overlap more than you'd think
telltale, wallace & gromit's grand adventures
so sometimes the one you need can be so covered that you don't actually figure out it was clickable
also, some of the logic seems... off, or unrewarding. the more grounded nature means that you have to jump through more hoops than it feels like you should for the most mundane items like "toast" or "a teabag"
(i know this is a common problem with the genre/worse in others, but still)

Hi Guys just after a few pointers on trail cams , more for security ..any suggestions ?
Hi Guys just after a few pointers on trail cams , more for security ..any suggestions ?
I have four of the Primos Proof cameras, really good photos and video for an affordable camera ( around $250-350 depending on model ) extremely basic to use, a retarded chimpanzee can operate them which is why I bought them. I have never had any issues with them and they have been out all of the winter and wet spring that we had.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
I think Boar might be wanting GPRS Cams ??
Not just observe and log Cams
250- 350 is to much now for basic Trail Cams
I used to use the Cams that take a pic and or Vid and you go and change SD card inside it periodically and view what WAS there - not much good for security as theft be done and dusted
Now - my GPRS Cams send me a photo (not Vid but still stores both on SD card like others) in 60-90 seconds
They are complicated and you need not be a hot headed sort and know a bit of Putor savy
They cost 4-500
I have some Browning (good gear) ones that I used b4 - that cost approx 220NZ now - you can have as many as you want for 100$ each
Very simple to use and extremely good on batt consumption (up to 8 months)
Brother in law's cameras are Bushnell Aggressors and Moultries, of the two the Bushnell take some really good pictures and video.

This fascinating copy of Screen Stories Magazine from October 1955 is loaded with great stars and great movies, including "Rebel Without a Cause" starring James Dean. This was Dean's iconic movie, and it came out (along with this magazine) in the month following his tragic death. On the cover is English actress Joan Collins, known for playing sultry temptresses in the fifties in Hollywood and later in the eighties for playing Alexis Carrington. In this issue they are featuring her movie "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing" a highly fictionalized account of Evelyn Nesbit and the murder of Standford White by her husband.
Also featured is "To Hell and Back" starring Audie Murphy, and that's not all. This is really packed with stars issue.
Screen Stories, formerly Screen Romances, apparently, focused on short stories based on movies, as well as celebrity features and photos.
Sadly many of these magazines were mutilated for their covers and movie ads. This magazine is intact.
CONDITION: Excellent, hardly any sign of wear.
SIZE: It is a 8.5 inch by 11 inch format

New £1 coins are being deliberately damaged so that they can be sold on for thousands of pounds to collectors, the Royal Mint believes.
Thousands of the 12-sided coins, introduced to help combat fakes, are currently in circulation with "major" flaws.
These blemishes include cracks, warps and holes - with the afflicted coins selling for up to £2,500 on eBay.
While the Royal Mint has already admitted that some of the 1.5 billion new £1 coins set to be struck will contain "variances", it has now told ITV News it believes much of the damaged currency is the result of deliberate sabotage.
In a statement to ITV News, a spokeswoman for the Royal Mint said: "As you would expect, we have tight quality controls in place, however we expect variances in a small number of coins, particularly in the striking process, due to the high volumes and speed of production."
The spokeswoman continued: "Unfortunately, we have observed a number of coins with separated and reversed inners and outers for sale on online auction sites.
"Our belief is that these have been deliberately manipulated and we would remind people that breaking up a UK coin is illegal under the Coinage Act 1971."
The Royal Mint added that the number of coins containing accidental errors was "extremely small" - and that they could still be used.
Introduced in late March, there will eventually be 1.5 billion of the new coins in circulation.
The "round pound" will stop being legal tender on October 15 this year, while the old paper £5 notes cease being legal tender this Friday 5 May.

Cannabis has been under legal fire ever since Harry Truman and the United States government waged war against the plant at the beginning of the 20th century. As of 2019, however, several states have legalized cannabis for medicinal use, and a few have even legalized it for recreational use as well. Cannabis is not legal nationwide so whether you can legally purchase it depends on your state's laws. The good news is, though, that because of the 2018 Farm Bill, any cannabis product that contains less than 0.3% THC – Tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound within the plant – is legal in all 50 states.
This means CBD, which stands for cannabidiol, is legal in all 50 American states and Washington, D.C. Here's how and where you can buy legal, organic CBD oil.
Buying CBD
If you're looking for organic CBD oil to help relieve stress, anxiety, depression, pain, inflammation, or a host of other ailments, you can just search the term online and find a website that sells specific CBD extracts that fits your needs. If you live in a state that has legalized medicinal and or recreational use of cannabis, you will be able to find a brick-and-mortar store and professionals there can help you find exactly what you need. Depending on state laws, you may not find a dispensary that sells CBD unless you have a prescription, which you will have to talk to your doctor to obtain.
What To Look For
The main thing to know when you're deciding how to choose CBD is that it is fat soluble, meaning it needs to be consumed with fat to travel through your body and bind to the proper receptors. This is why most CBD oils are also infused with other ingredients. CBD oil without a fat will not work. You can also find CBD oil infused into things like cookies and gummy bears, which have the proper amount of glucose, sugar, or other fats needed to properly work. If you're using an oil, it should be administered sublingually – underneath your tongue – in order to get maximum efficiency. The other thing you want to look for when choosing an oil is its ingredients.
In order to get the maximum potential from CBD oil, it should be labeled "Full Spectrum," meaning it uses the entire hemp plant, not just the cannabidiols. Concentrated CBD oil on its own isn't as effective as CBD linked with the other compounds found within the hemp plant. To ensure maximum potency, make sure to look for this label on any CBD products you purchase and make sure the list of ingredients lists other parts of the hemp plant as well.
Other than that, it's up to you how you want to consume your CBD oil, and it's best to experiment with multiple types to see what works best for you. If you have a gluten allergy, for example, you can search for a product that is gluten-free. If you don't like chewing gummy candies and they bother your teeth, it may be best to try a different edible. If the oil tastes too bitter, maybe you'd like an infused beverage. There are plenty of options out there and something for everyone.

Coronation Street: Ryan Connor clashes with Ali at Robert's stag do – watch the scene
The siblings aren't getting on well this Friday - get a sneak peek here
There's sibling rivalry on Coronation Street next week when Michelle's sons clash on Robert's stag night. Corrie will welcome back Ryan Connor to the cobbles with Ryan Prescott taking over the recast role.
The character returns next Wednesday for mum Michelle's impending wedding to Robert Preston, and is set for an epic rivalry with Ali Neeson, his mother's biological son who recently came back into her life. Ryan and Ali were mistakenly swapped at birth, which was only discovered when the lads were in their teens but Michelle rejected Ali for Ryan, the boy she raised as her own.
Now with Ali working as a GP in Weatherfield, and torn Michelle desperate to reconnect with him, Ryan will come face-to-face with the cuckoo in the Connor nest and both boys are immediately threatened by each other. Next Wednesday Michelle has to change plans with unimpressed Ali to collect drunk Ryan from the airport, flying in from Ibiza where he's been living since 2013.
Friday sees the lads square up at Robert's stag night, where they're dressed as Liam and Noel Gallagher. Is the squabbling Oasis siblings' fractious relationship set to mirror Ryan and Ali's dynamic? "They've not been in touch in the intervening years," revealed James Burrows, aka Ali, to RadioTimes.com recently. "Ryan's return inspires lots of hatred and maybe a bit of jealousy. It's going to get a bit Cain and Abel and promises to be very interesting…"

Group of Seven Collection
Group of Seven Collection
Located on the third floor of Casa Loma, this collection is comprised of artwork by various members of the Group of Seven. Active from 1920 to 1933, the Group of Seven (which eventually grew to ten members) was comprised of Canadian landscape painters. The Group believed that a distinct Canadian art could be developed through direct contact with nature. Their influence became so widespread that the decision was made to disband and form a new association called the Canadian Group of Painters in 1933.

The virus has claimed the lives of more than 900 people in Mainland China as of Sunday and raised concerns over growth outlook in the world's second largest economy. "The sober fact is that some economic damage is already done (by the coronavirus) and it would be highly complacent to assert that a return to normalcy in sentiment and travel is around the corner," said Taimur Baig and Chang Wei Liang, analysts at DBS Economics & Strategy Research, in a note. Singapore stocks declined as much as 1.4% in early trade, but had pared some losses by 0338 GMT. On Friday, the city-state raised its virus alert level to orange, the level reached during the 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic, which indicates the virus is severe and passes easily between people. Financials weighed on Singapore's main index, with United Overseas Bank Ltd and DBS Group Holdings falling as much as 2% and 1.7%, respectively. Also hurting sentiment was data that showed China's consumer inflation in January hit a more than 8-year high as government restrictions on movement drove residents to stock up on essentials. Vietnamese shares fell up to 1.5%, leading declines in the region. The financial sector weighed on the bourse, with Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam falling 3.3%. Indonesian equities shed 0.8% and financials were the biggest drag. PT Bank Central Asia Tbk lost 1.2%, while PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk shed 1%. Malaysian shares fell up to 1%, with heavyweights Tenaga Nasional falling 3.6% and Public Bank Bhd dropping 1.1%. The county's prime minister on Monday said that the Malaysian economy is expected to expand by 4.8% this year, maintaining the government's forecast as it braces for a potential global slowdown tied to the novel coronavirus outbreak. Malaysia has reported 17 confirmed coronavirus cases as of Sunday, and expanded its travel ban on China to include Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. The Philippine index fell 0.6%, with property developer SM Prime Holdings shedding as much as 3.2%. Thailand markets were closed for a holiday.

Here are discussion questions for the film, "The Tale of Despereaux," which opens this weekend. They were compiled by Mary Pride of "Practical Homeschooling" and Laura Berquist, Headmaster of Mother of Divine Grace School. I'm very grateful
for their efforts.
John Seel, Ph.D.

What Is Cotard's Delusion?
Cotard's Delusion is an incredibly rare mental illness in which in the patient believes that they are not alive. Some patients with Cotard's Delusion feel that they do not exist at all, while others feel that parts of their body do not exist, but their mind does. They feel very removed from the world, to such an extent that they truly believe they are no longer in it. Also known as "Walking Corpse Syndrome," Cotard's Delusion is intricately linked with other mental illnesses. A recent study of 100 individuals with Cotard's found that 89% of them had been previously diagnosed with depression.
Cotard's Delusion is believed to stem from problems in the amygdala and fusiform gyrus in the brain. The amygdala is the area of the brain that is responsible for emotions, while the fusiform gyrus helps with facial recognition. When these two areas are not functioning properly, they can distort the individual's perception of reality and make them believe that they are no longer living. Cotard's Delusion can also be linked to the following mental illnesses and conditions:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Schizophrenia
- Bipolar Disorder
- Hypochondria
- Epilepsy
- Parkinson's Disease
- Dementia
- Brain Tumors
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Stroke
- Brain Atrophy
There is only one type of Cotard's Delusion.
- Denial of existence
- Insisting that one has died
- Having an elaborate story of one's own death
- Smelling rotting flesh
- Denial of a body part's existence
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Feeling of guilt
- Insensitivity to pain
- Neglecting personal hygiene
- Lack of interest in social life
- Suicidal tendencies
- Hallucinations
- Distorted perception
If a primary care physician suspects that you or someone you know has Cotard's Delusion, they will refer you to a psychiatrist to have a thorough psychiatric evaluation. They may also refer you to a neurologist to rule out certain neurological conditions.
The most common and effective treatment for Cotard's Delusion is a combination of medication and electroconvulsive therapy. Medications may include anti-depressants, anti-psychotics and anti-convulsants. Electroconvulsive therapy involves placing electrodes on the patient's scalp and sending small electrical impulses to the brain to reset certain areas.

Compton native son Joey Davis 'Wrestler of the Year'
Joey Davis was added to the record books when he won his fourth straight national championship
At 131-0, Joey Davis, four-time national champ is first NCAA-II wrestler unbeaten in his career winning four national titles; coaches vote him 'Wrestler of the Year'
EDMOND, Okla. — Notre Dame senior wrestler Joey Davis made history earlier this month when he finished his career unbeaten at 131-0, and on Monday, he did it again, as he was named the National Wrestler of the Year by the Wrestling Coaches Association.
Davis put his name in the record books at the National Championships earlier this month when he won his fourth straight National Championship. He became the first wrestler at the NCAA-II level to go unbeaten in his career and win four National Titles. In addition, he finished his career as just the third wrestler in NCAA history to finish his career undefeated as a four-time National Champion, joining Iowa State's Cael Sanderson (159-0) and Augsburg-Minn.'s Marcus LeVesseur (155-0).
He was a finalist for the award after his freshman year back in 2013 when he won the East Region Wrestler of the Year Award for the first time, but by winning the award, Davis becomes the first student-athlete in the history of NDC's storied Wrestling Program to win the Award.
"I want to thank all of the college coaches that voted for me," said Davis. "I am very honored to be the Division-II Wrestler of the Year. It's a great feeling to finish off my collegiate career with this award. I also would like to thank my family, coaches, teammates and Notre Dame for all of the support over my four years."
Davis won Wrestler of the Year, despite being in a pool of very good wrestlers. He was selected from a pool of incredible Wrestlers, including Wisconsin-Parkside 174-pounder Nick Becker, Lindenwood 157-pounder Terrel Wilbourn, and California Baptist heavyweight Joe Fagiano was also in the running.
"We are extremely proud of Joey's accomplishments," said Co-Head Coach Anthony Ralph. "To go undefeated over the past four years is an amazing accomplishment. Joey's work ethic is second to none, and his dedication to be the best was inspiring to witness. I couldn't imagine being under the amount of pressure that he was in his final match. He handled it like the true champion he is."
Davis became the ninth recipient of the Wrestler of the Year award, joining the likes of Nebraska-Kearney heavyweight Tervel Dlagnev (2008), Nebraska-Omaha 157-pounder Todd Meneely (2009), Pittsburgh-Johnstown 133-pounder Shane Valko (2010), Western State 197-pounder Donovan McMahill (2011), Upper Iowa 133-pounder Trevor Franklin (2012), Grand Canyon heavyweight Tyrell Fortune (2013), Kutztown heavyweight Ziad Haddad (2014) and Central Oklahoma 165-pounder Chris Watson (2015).

#3: Eyes & Eyelids: Tear Trough Filler Injections Experience Video
Most of us would complain about dark shadows under their eyes ('under eye bags'). These can be genetic in nature, or related to ageing or even allergies. So what can be done? Under eye concealers are one option. The best colour is usually a yellow toned concealer (or any lighter coloured under eye concealer that helps bring that shadowed area forward, visually reducing the hallowed appearance. Need good cover makeup? Ask Hayley about the Lycogel skin care range.

Barry Rabe quoted by ClimateWire on Nov. 6 wins, losses for environment
Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Professor Barry Rabe spoke with ClimateWire about victories and losses for environmentalists coming out of the November 6 elections.
Rabe pointed out that the defeat of Michigan's Proposal 3—which would shift the state's utilities toward renewable energy—failed in part due to opposition to constitutional amendments, not necessarily because of opposition to environmental measures.
Maggie Hassan's gubernatorial victory in New Hampshire, Rabe suggested, could signal renewed life for the Northeast's regional carbon trading program, known as RGGI.

And because it's the hottest phone around, we thought we'd ask him to take a Hot Wing Challenge involving the hottest chicken wings we could find. Oh, and a man dressed in a chicken suit.
Did he accept the challenge? Or was he more interested in the S9's super slo-mo chops and the awesome roundness of the headphone jack? It's all in our video - check it out:

The train, with a shrill whistle, pulled into Summering. For a moment the black coaches stood still in the silvery light of the uplands to eject a few vivid human figures and to swallow up others. Exacerbated voices called back and forth; then, with a puffing and a chugging and another shrill shriek, the dark train clattered into the opening of the tunnel, and once more the landscape stretched before the view unbroken in all its wide expanse, the background swept clean by the moist wind.
One of the arrivals, a young man pleasantly distinguished by his good dress and elastic walk, hurried ahead of the others and entered one of the hotel 'buses. The horses took the steep road leisurely. Spring was in the air. Up in the sky floated the white shifting clouds of May and June, light, sportive young creatures, playfully coursing the blue path of heaven, suddenly dipping and hiding behind the mountains, embracing and running away, crumpling up like handkerchiefs, elongating into gauzy scarfs, and ending their play by roguishly perching white caps on the mountain tops. There was unrest below, too, in the wind, which shook the lean trees, still wet from the rain, and set their limbs a-groaning softly and brought down a thousand shining drops. Sometimes a cool breath of snow descended from the mountains, and then there was a feel in the air both balmy and cutting. All things in the atmosphere and on the earth were in motion and astir with the ferment of impatience. The horses tossed their heads and snorted as they now trotted down a descent, the sound of their bells jingling far ahead of them.
On arriving at the hotel, the young man made straight for the registry and looked over the list of guests. He was disappointed.
"What the deuce have I come here for?" he thought in vexation. "Stuck 'way up here on top of the mountain all alone, no company; why it's worse than the office. I must have come either too early or too late. I never do have luck with my holidays. Not a single name do I know. If only there was a woman or two here to pick up a flirtation with, even a perfectly innocent one, if it must be, just to keep the week from being too utterly dismal."

Cynce and I ordered their sugar free lemonade and some fries, while the girls played in the in-door play yard.

Tags: 1963, George Harrison
7 Responses to "PIERRE CARDIN SUIT:"
WRONG! It is not a real Pierre Cardin suit. It is a design copied from a Pierre Cardin suit made by a british taylor.
It is not a Pierre Cardin, but George Harrison is a top model! Amazing!
Another Gem of a picture
George as I will always remember him!
Cutie pie
The first suits were Pierre Cardin suits purchased from my father at the Smart Weston's store in St. Ann's Sq. The Beatles were brought over from the Granada TV studios a few blocks away. This was '62/'63 (my sister was born in '63 and we left the UK shortly after to come to Canada).
Reynolds is correct that the ones used for Album covers and promo shots were knock-offs, because they wanted different colours that weren't available from Pierre Cardin at the time.
It's not entirely correct to say that the Millings suits that the Beatles wore from 1963 onwards were "knock-offs". Cardin most certainly designed the first "cylinder" suit in 1960, but the ones that Brian Epstein commissioned were designed specifically for the band with a number of purpose-designed elements. Subtle double vents in the back to allow for movement on stage, bell cuffs instead of the shorter Cardin stovepipes (guitar players don't wear cufflinks) a deeper oval of the collar to show more of the shirt, three buttons instead of five, pants that features an unheard-of bold taper, slash pockets instead of patch (patches catch on guitars and cords) and – the key to The Beatles "look" – black piping at the pockets and around the edges of the torso panels.
Other small changes were strictly for comfort – replacing the cordoroy with a very fine mohair blend, for instance – but the visually obvious differences between the 1960 Cardin suits and the 1963 DA Millings & Son suits were necessary for the band to successfully wear them on stage. These weren't "knock-offs", they were commissioned originals based on a by-then popular look with features specifically requested by the band.
Interestingly, I have never seen a photo or footage of the Beatles in Cardin suits. The Cardin jackets ALWAYS had 5 buttons, so they are easy to spot. If anyone knows a source for visual confirmation that they wore the Cardins before switching to their own design, I would love to see it.

|Newsman: Greg Magnusson
|Other Newsmen
(edit needed)
Audio featuring this Newsman Edit
- clip - "One of the newsmen at AM 1500 is a very likable fellow by the name of Greg Magnusson. Mischke describes him as "the type of father you would see in a Hallmark Hall of Fame Holiday Special". You know, the perfect guy who has it all together and exudes nothing but warmth and honesty. Anyway, in this clip, Mischke asks Greg to do him a small favor by taking a few "small steps" to try and ruin the image." (from Mischke Madness)
- clip - "Greg Magnusson comes to the airwaves with an interesting news story about a web site that lists the oddest things up for auction at e-bay. Of particular interest is the bidding for a "slut undressing to the song of your choice". Mischke considers putting in a bid, as he already has the perfect song picked out for such an occasion." (from Mischke Madness)
- clip - "Tommy likes to come up with nicknames for his producers, newscasters, and even frequent callers. So one late night, back in the nighttime hours, Mischke was talking with Greg Magnusson and decided he needed a nickname. Mischke ended up settling on a "most unfortunate" moniker, one that might not go over so well in the afternoon with the FCC." (from Mischke Madness)

Eleven people 100+ years old honored in Schenectady
August 30, 2018 05:28 PM
SCHENECTADY - Eleven people who are all over the age of 100 years old were honored in Schenectady on Thursday. Collectively, they represent 1,122 years of life. All 11 of them live at Kingsway Community in Schenectady.
They've lived through World War I, the Great Depression and other things many people have only read about in history books.
They may have voted for FDR or Hoover – and seen the invention of television long before they saw a television camera.
They worked in City Hall and on the railroad.
A lot of family came by for the special celebration. It truly was a party more than 100 years in the making.

A guide for PR professionals
Australian Traveller is Australia's biggest selling pure travel magazine. We deal regularly with PR organisations and, because we work a little differently to most magazines, this guide is designed to break down our individual sections and describe the best ways in which to engage with us in order to receive editorial coverage.
You can download these guidelines in PDF format if you wish.
Overseas Destinations We will occasionally accept them for research purposes. This enables us to make better-informed judgments about regions and products in terms of what to include in general features. A famil is also valuable in evaluating editorial submitted to the magazine and briefing contributors.
Firstly, Australian Traveller is a domestic travel magazine. We write solely about Australia. We will not publish anything that relates to international travel (with the exception of Antarctica and other external territories of Australia). Famils
Australian Traveller does not accept famils in return for editorial coverage in the magazine. Australian Traveller does acknowledge famils are an excellent way for us to understand products, regions and new developments in the industry.
We will occasionally accept them for research purposes. This enables us to make better-informed judgments about regions and products in terms of what to include in general features. A famil is also valuable in evaluating editorial submitted to the magazine and briefing contributors.
Famil-generated content may be used in the AT Wire (our monthly eNewsletter), on our website and in the regular radio slots we do, particularly our weekly show on 2GB.
When do you invite Australian Traveller on a famil?
Anytime you are comfortable showcasing your region or product to us and not seeing a story in the magazine reflecting the famil experience.
Examples of famils that have worked for Australian Traveller and partners:
Norfolk Island // Live cross to 2GB and editorial contributions embellishing submitted work.
Tiger Airways Launch // Melbourne to Launceston – eNewsletter feature Road Testing Tiger Airways.
Port Douglas Carnivale // Live cross to 2GB, web updates and eNewsletter.
By being domestic travel only, travelling for stories is not prohibitively expensive and therefore we can afford to uphold the no-famils policy in the magazine. It is the cornerstone of our relationship with our readers and the reason we are the country's best-selling travel magazine. Further, if you have information you can provide us about your region or product, we want to know about it. We'll try to editorialise it at some stage, but not through the process of a famil. We'll send our own journalists, who will pay their own way and report back what the average consumer will experience.
AT Community
Word of mouth is so important in travel, so it's incredibly important to recognise that our readers can learn a lot from each other as well as share their knowledge. For this reason, significant portions of the magazine are dedicated to submissions from our readers.
The regular sections are:
Letters // A short selection of the best correspondence from our reader base.
Reader Favourites // A short story from a reader about one of their favourite experiences in Australia.
Just Ask AT // Readers questions are answered with extensive research and realistic advice to their Australian travel needs.
Your Shot // The Winning travel shot from one of our readers, as well as several excellent Runners Up.
Our Shortcuts section is one that will continue to expand. It may appear to be a "newsy" section, but our criteria are a little more complex than that. The question we ask of every piece is "Does this make our reader a smarter, savvier and better-informed traveller than his or her peers?"
Items that meet at least one of the following criteria are likely to appear in Australian Traveller.
The reader will save money // We're interested in running anything that is innovative and demonstrates an ability for an Australian traveller to save money.
The reader will be better informed // If you have an interesting product, service or initiative, we want to hear from you.
The information is relatively timeless // As a bi-monthly magazine, we don't see our role as a provider of the latest breaking news; that's what the internet is for. For a piece to run in Australian Traveller Magazine the product, service or offering must have a window of availability of around one to three months from the time of publication.
As the name suggests, our Review Section is a collection of travel-related products or experiences evaluated or road tested by the Australian Traveller team.
The regular reviews include:
Primary Hotel Review // A new or interesting place to stay in Australia.
Hotel Round Up // An extended list of additional items – either by style or location – to the longer Primary Review.
Dining Out // A new or interesting place to eat in Australia.
Attractions // A new or interesting activity in Australia.
Books // Travel-related books and guides.
If you have anything that would fit these categories, please make sure we know about it as soon as possible.
Our features section contains articles from our stable of columnists, image portfolios, essays, marquee destinations and journey pieces from the world of Australian travel. In general we will also try to dedicate a significant portion of these features to an overall theme. For example, in our Islands Issue we covered the barebones and remote islands in "The Robinson Crusoe Effect", the upmarket luxury island experience in the "Class Of Their Own" feature and then three other islands to form a comprehensive, insightful and inspiring overall collection of stories.
Our scheduled themes are listed in the media kit and you can help us if you think you have particular expertise or insight into any of them.
Journey Pieces
Written in the first person and as "Bryson-esque" as possible, this feature is the journey of one our many award-winning contributors' travel experiences. The objective is to give readers real insight and inspiration about this particular region and experience. We want the reader to feel they can gain from the experience of those who have gone before.
The sooner you send us information that may be relevant to one of our Journey Pieces, the more likely we'll be to act on it.
Marquee Destinations Every Tuesday afternoon we do a radio show on Sydney's 2GB on travel in Australia.
Australian Traveller features a well-known Australian travel destination in each issue. As it's so popular, the angle is to pick a travel topic for the area and give readers the most insightful and unbiased assessment. The topics usually relate to accommodation, attractions or food/restaurants. SECTION 5
Out & About
The final section of the magazine is a short and sharp ready reference for travellers, usually in an urban or metro setting. The objective is to arm travellers with a quick guide of the things they really need to know about a destination. Out & About is a "hyper shortlist" for travellers. OTHER MEDIA
We broadcast a monthly eNewsletter called the AT Wire to more than 50,000 opt-in readers. Particularly good for events-based and time sensitive stories. There are also opportunities to secure sponsorship of issues of the AT Wire to better cement your message.
Australiantraveller.com is also a repository for many stories that do not make the magazine, or archives of previous issues.
Every Tuesday afternoon we do a radio show on Sydney's 2GB on travel in Australia.
We hope that this clarifies for you the best way to approach us, and how best to angle a story to pique the interest of the editorial team.
Please direct all releases to email@example.com or for any further enquiries you may have, please contact me directly on the details below.

Wakefield Export Champions collaborate with local school
18 October 2019
Wakefield Export Champions collaborate with local school
Export Champions m2r Education and Coeur de Xocolat recently joined forces to offer an innovative chocolate based curriculum to Yr9 pupils at St Thomas a Becket Catholic Secondary School in Wakefield.
Munir Mamujee, MD of m2r Education and David Greenwood Haigh, owner of Coeur de Xocolat were both awarded the accolade of Export Champion by The Department for International Trade (DIT) and The Northern Powerhouse (NPH) and have already worked on a serious of collaborative projects, including the high profile 'More Than An Airport' campaign in conjunction with Manchester Airport.
Munir commented, 'my eldest daughter attends St Thomas a Becket and I wanted to give something back to the school and David's excellent chocolate based sessions seemed perfect. I am very grateful to Cathy Baxendale for her vision and passion as without her consent, this project would not have been possible.'
David spent a full week with the Yr9 students and his sessions were met with huge enthusiasm. The children learnt not just how to make chocolate but also the science, history and geography behind the cocoa bean. David mentioned, 'The strength of being an Export Champion is clearly the networks and contacts we meet. Without this my enjoyable week teaching the Yr9 students of St Thomas a Becket Catholic school would not have been possible'.
Cathy added, 'Our pupils have absolutely loved this week and learned so much – not least of which that something as seemingly simple and everyday as chocolate touches on subjects across the school curriculum, from History and Geography to Science, Art and Design and of course, Food"
Both David and Munir hope that this isn't the first chocolate based collaboration they do in Wakefield!
