Why does Marcia White, President & Executive Director of SPAC hate Saratoga Opera?
As my friends and readers of this blog know I am a classical arts aficionado. I was raised in SPAC as my father was director of Fire Safety until his death in 1975.During those magical summers as long as I behaved, I had the run of the house. I bounced on George Balanchine lap at pool parties and watched Eugene Ormandy conduct from the front row {I was much more adorable as a child than I ever was as an adult}. I have a deep love of SPAC. That is why the mismanagement of Marcia White infuriates me.
Years ago for those who remember, the New York City Opera had a short run at SPAC. That is before the idiot Herb Chesbrough eliminated them. I still remember summer evening on the lawn, enthralled by magical performances. I seem to share those memories with Public Safety Commissioner" toothy" Christian Mathiesen. So we do have at least one thing in common and I must say his deputy would make a great Brynhildr, better known to Americans as Broom Hilda in Richard Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen. Yes that is the "Fat lady who sings",but let's get to the heart of this story.
Once City Opera was terminated Saratoga became an operatic black hole. In 1998 the Lake George Opera moved to the 500-seat Spa Little Theater on the grounds of Saratoga Spa State Park. They have become a wonderful regional Opera company that has simply been a delight to watch. Last year they officially changed their name to Saratoga Opera
Operating independently from SPAC, Marcia White has treated them as the red haired step brother she never liked. This year is the unkindest cut of all. Saratoga Opera only has 10 performances a year. To survive they must practically sell out all 10 performances.
Bone headed Marcia has scheduled many NYC ballet performances to conflict with Opera performances, but that was just a minor inconvenience compared to what she has done this year.
Perhaps hoping to destroy the independent Opera, she has scheduled the widely popular Phish directly opposite three of the Opera's ten performances.
On Friday July 5 Phish takes the stage at 7:30, Saratoga Opera a stones throw away puts on the masterpiece of Italian opera, Rigoletto at 8.
On Saturday Phish at 7:30 the Opera at 8, this time the Mighty Casey, which brings the nostalgic era of America in thirties to life through a musical and dramatic setting of the quintessential American poem "Casey at the Bat".
Sunday is a little better with the Opera at 2:00, with Trial by Jury/Le 66. Twin operetta's by England's Gilbert and Sullivan and France's Offenbach, which will feature the 2012 Opera Saratoga Apprentice Artist performers.Phish again takes the stage at 8.
Now I know many of you are saying "what's the big deal"?
Well Phish is best known for its fan culture. With fans flocking to venues hours before they open, the concert is the centerpiece of an event that includes a temporary community in the parking lot, complete with "Shakedown Street": at times a garment district, art district, food court and illegal drug district that fans simply call "the pharmacy". For many, one concert is simply a prelude to the next as the community follows the band around the country.The State Police will set up road blocks around SPAC. Route 9, Route 50 and the Ave of Pines will be impassable for hours before and hours after the concert, not to mention the poor souls who booked a wedding at the Hall of Springs at the same time.
Let me paint a picture for you. A bride and her family who spent upwards of $25,000 for daddies little girl on her big day will be heartbroken. Most guests will be hours late for the reception if they make it at all. The area around the Opera and the Hall of Springs will be an open air drug market. The patrons of the Opera will have no chance to make it to the show at all. The performance will be a disaster playing to an almost empty house for a SOLD OUT show.
So whose fault is this clusterfuck?
Marcia White, President & Executive Director of SPAC. You know the nurse who makes $300,000 a year.
She signed the contract with Live Nation, she owns it.
So I call on Public Safety Commissioner" toothy" Christian Mathiesen DO SOMETHING. You spout off about Caroline being "out of control and dangerous" GO TO A FUCKING PHISH CONCERT. You want mayhem? You want Chaos?
Will you as the highest ranking law enforcement officer in Saratoga Springs guarantee that public roads will be open? Will you as such an officer tolerate the blatant and flagrant use of illegal drugs in many cases by children? Pick up the phone and call Marcia White to your fucking office and read her the riot act. We are counting on you to save the OPERA and Saratoga Springs itself.
I will be at the City Council pre agenda meeting tomorrow and the actual meeting Tuesday night. I will have a completely new NXIVM story later this week
This is also the soft start of my spring fund raising drive. This will be it, till after the summer. So if you could give just a little. The PayPal button is on top and I'm always in Uncommon Grounds. I have no advertisers and without you this wouldn't be possible. I'm writing more and more and the stores keep on coming and I do try to keep up and be timely.
God willing I will be able to continue to bring my videos and tails of cults and governments to you my readers. Love me; hate me you do read me.
So please give so me, the wife and Bruno the dog all live to fight and write another day.

Bravo John on the exposé of Marcia's Black Heart and the challenge to Commissioner "Caroline" Mathiesen. All eyes of the common schmo should be focused on Spa Park on the Phish Weekend.
I don't advocate for ANY busting of chops, but JT you are 3000% right in your "request" that The Park be accessible and open to one and all.
Are you listening Commissioner Mathiesen? This will be THE MOMENT for SSPD and Public Safety. Please don't ignore the Voters you serve. After all-- Is it safe yet? - April 29, 2012 at 10:48 PM
Thanks for your interesting perspective, John. Having attended many a Phish show, I can confirm that the illegal drug use is, indeed, often fragrant.
- April 29, 2012 at 11:15 PM
JT,hpoefully as we move along,you'll do a piece or expose' on this "Shill" Pat Kane and the real reasons he's trying to run Scott Johnson out of city hall,I'll be of assistance as usual.
- April 30, 2012 at 5:39 AM
1. Not one red cent of taxpayer money should ever go to paying for "the arts".
2. State Police should bring in a couple hundred drug sniffing dogs and arrest every single damn drug user and put them away for a long time. Get rid of the drugs, you get rid of the crap, the crowds, the noise, and all the scum! - April 30, 2012 at 8:05 AM
JT,rumors are rumors I know..but..why hasn't Pat Kane come clean and tell his following and fellow cult members about his personal and legal problems with Scott Johnson..can you shed some light on that..it might go a long way in explaining why he (mr. kane) is so hell bent on destroying a successful Mayor.

...And it is july 4th weekend so the park would be packed anyway.

Mr. "Hell Bent" Kane failed to unseat the Mayor in November. Pat Kane yielded and crumbled to the will of The People at the ballot box. End of "Kane v Johnson."
JT is now turning to Charter Change, a much bigger horse of a brighter different color. But it too will be "settled" by the will of The People at the ballot box. "The People" include myself among their 2300.
A Vote. It's that simple, even for a litigious attorney. - April 30, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Let me start by making it clear I agree that Marcia White has a done a horrible job managing both the venue and resources at SPAC. However, even if she was gone, and there was a competent replacement, i wouldn't expect them to prevent Live Nation from bring in a band like Phish who is consistently a strong draw at the gate, especially in this area, where they have local ties.
I too enjoy SPAC's classical schedule, and all of the other things our State Park offers, but I have accepted that to have access to things, without seeing my tax bill or admission price skyrocket, I have to be willing to find something else to do the few the days a summer that these major events come, and generate the revenue necessary to pay the bills.
Phish and the Dave Matthews Band ARE going to take over the park the weekends they are here, the same way the track takes over the city for 6 weeks in the summer, and the Victorian Street walk takes over Broadway on a Thursday night every winter, but those two weekends seem a small price to pay for the benefits that the revenue will offer to local residents the other 50 weekends a year they can use it. Nothing is free in this world.
While the young lady with her wedding reception at the Hall of Springs might not be happy to find out there is a concert next door to her "big day", she also shouldn't act SHOCKED that a concert is happening at the large amphitheater directly next to the venue she booked, at the time of year when SPAC schedules most of their Live Nation events, so as not to interrupt the classical schedule later in the summer.
It's also hard to find tears for the Saratoga Opera. If you want to ride the coat tails of the NYC Ballet and Philadelphia Orchestra, you shouldn't be so upset that once in a while you're going to be inconvenienced by the money makers that keep them here. Their problem probably could have been avoided by better communication from Marcia White. I can't imagine the Saratoga Opera would expect SPAC to be blacked out for THEIR schedule, but being kept in the loop of tenative SPAC dates would allow the Saratoga Opera to schedule around SPAC events. - April 30, 2012 at 9:44 AM
At least the people on drugs at a Phish concert aren't driving 35 ton firetrucks at high speeds. Sounds like SPAC might be safer then Broadway that weekend.
- April 30, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Loved the Judge Dredd reference in the earlier part of this work.. "You want mayhem? You want chaos?" All you need is Armand Assante yellin' 'em.
- April 30, 2012 at 9:49 AM
I heard of one bride who never could get to her own Hall of Springs wedding because of a Phish concert. This is an absolute night mare for everyone. No one will be able to fight their way to the opera. This is really really really bad. Maybe Mr. E. Stewart Jones will step up. I believe he supports both venues and is on the Board. I am so happy you noticed this.
- April 30, 2012 at 10:44 AM
Mayor Keehan had more lawsuits during her run as Mayor Kile....and you sat quite like a good little plebe and she tired to change things from order to chaos...you represent the will of the minority 6yrs ago we voted on this change and it was pounded into the ground by over 2300 votes and now the same band of drunks are causing troubles again and you're wrong kile it is kane vs.Johnson for the 4th time in 6yrs...I think your man kane likes to lose..so be it!

Y'all must be new here. When it comes to the Charter Debate, our man JT will tell you the new Charter is the child of THE Anti-Christ, Brent Wilkes. And in the coming months, we will see at least FIVE spectacular exposés on the Dark Force that is Wilkes. Believe me, John's been "loadin' up for Bear" on this one... and when he's finished ripping the flesh from Brent, there won't be enough meat left to bait a fish hook.

We agree...and then disagree.
We agree that the whole 'SPAC thing' is a mess.
Board/Management's decision to toss the keys to Live Nation was, in essence, an admission that they do not have the talent in-house to do it themselves.
The end-result of this is the loss of the huge money to SPAC's coffers and the less-than-enlightened special events programming as per Live Nation's "lowest common denominator" and "dinosuar rock" philosophies. Yanni, Beach Boys and Nickelback? I just threw up in my mouth...
Combine all that with the $8 beers, the security presence that resembles entering Checkpoint Charlie in Cold War Berlinm the $10 parking fees and the general paraonoic aura that engulfs the park on concert days ---- and you start ti understand why SPAC has lost its standing in the live music community; both the fan and the indiustry segments.
We disagree, however, on what you seem to be offering as the solution.
You are suggesting that the security detail gets even MORE agressive? Such a move will ven make the situation (and the venue's reputation) decline even further.
The various police agencies should have one primary mission when it comes to SPAC special event nights: to get cars into the park as quickly and efficiently as possible, and then get them out in the same manner at the conclusion of the shows.
Stopping cars for inspection flies against that mission. So does the deployment of the thug patrols throughout the picnic areas.
If your stated goal of allowing parallel non-SPAC events (weddings, opera) do their thing on the same nites as the big SPAC shows are being staged, then the answer is LESS of the Gestapo tactics, not more.
Why are you giving them cover to do the opposite?
You and I were around back when SPAC was actually an enjoyable experience. It now looks like a war zone. It needs to change or it will go the way of the Starlight Music Thater in Latham. At one time, that was a successful venue itself.
Go look at it now:
RM - April 30, 2012 at 3:24 PM
The logical thing to do when the boys come to town (that would be The Phish from Vermont) would be to have Opera traffic enter the Park thru the Rte 9 entrance down by PJ's and PHish Concert Traffic limited to Avenue of the Pines entrance and Rte 50. The logistics could easily be worked out. One lane could be coned for OPera so those folks can get to their venue un-impeded
Emails should and could be sent out to all concertgoers be it Opera/Phish/wedding attendees with rules of the road, directions to parking lots. Bethel Woods did this last year when Phish played there for the first time. (I still have mine).
If I recall two years ago when Phish last played there were wedding attendees dancing to the music on the porch.
The drugs/nitrous mafia that follow the jamband scene is a small blemish on what otherwise is a pretty cool community. Take it from someone who has been shaking on Shakedown Street for more then half my 51 years. - April 30, 2012 at 4:34 PM

What I'm suggesting is that Saratoga Opera leave the umbrella of SPAC and go out on its own.
Think Skidmore's Zankel.
I want the Hall of Springs to offer refunds and discounts if they fuck up weddings. I don't care if the Brides family signed a waiver. I doubt anyone told them of the implications if Phish is playing opposite their wedding.
I don't want more security at SPAC either.
I want the Dentist to lighten up on Caroline St bar owners and pick on SPAC for a change - April 30, 2012 at 7:23 PM
What did SPAC offer the former Lake George Opera Company other then a bigger venue? Does the venue need to be outdoors? The EGG has pretty good sound but is inside. Unfortunately the choices for outside venues in this area are slim to none other then SPAC.
- April 30, 2012 at 7:45 PM
Summer 2010 - I want to show my newly engaged daughter and her fiance the Hall of Springs during a wedding to let her see why I think a wedding there is a terrible idea. We arrive around 8 PM - wedding in full swing/Phish concert, surprise to us,totally delighting new fiance. After proving my point - the wedding music was so deafening due to the horrendous acoustics of that beautiful building, no one could talk - my son-in-law bought a ticket and stayed for the rest of the show. The wedding party was in no way affected by the noise of the Phish concert because their music was so loud. I had absolutely no problem driving up to the Hall of Springs/parking/checking out the wedding. Not sure I see what you think the problem is...

When Michael Kaiser spoke at Skidmore last month, how many people came to this talk to criticize Marcia White, other than myself? Yeah, the Skidmore folks asked me to "wrap it up", but I still asked the key question:
"In your opinion, Mr. Kaiser, would hiring the Philadelphia Orchestra to play film soundtracks and perform for trapeze acts actually create a large, long-term audience for serious classical music without those gimmicks?"
Kaiser's answer: Basically, no, those gimmicks don't work.
MW spoke at Russell Sage College in Troy two weeks ago. Did anyone show up to ask her tough questions? No -- except me, and I kept my mouth shut.

TWD: Cocoa Almond Meringues
This week's Tuesdays with Dorie was chosen by Mike of Ugly Food for an Ugly Dude: cocoa almond merginues. Heat and humidity are the enemy of meringues so this late summer weather wasn't ideal timing for the recipe. That said, my freezer is perpetually overflowing with leftover egg whites (thanks to lots of ice cream making) and I was grateful for an opportunity to put some to good use, so I cranked the a/c, crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
Because the recipe only called for a few ingredients, I didn't scale back at all. In fact, I didn't deviate from Dorie's instructions one bit. You start with egg whites, which are beaten (with a little sugar) until they form stiff, glossy peaks, and then gently fold in a mixture of cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, and finely chopped almonds and chocolate. The key is to get these ingredients incorporated without deflating the egg whites too much. Meringues can be really pretty if piped, but Dorie's method was more rustic, calling for just spooning them onto the baking sheets. The cookies are baked briefly in a moderate oven, then the heat is reduced and they spend another hour finishing up. I did a little experiment, baking one sheet of my meringues on parchment and the other on a Silpat, to see if there would be any differences, but the results were nearly identical. Dorie's yield (30 cookies) did seem low to me. I made well over 40 and the last 10 or 12 were much bigger than she instructed.
I've made meringues before, and they were ok, but nothing I could ever see myself craving. Something about them was just too plain for me. The addition of the cocoa powder and chopped chocolate in this recipe, however, really kicked things up a notch - these were so flavorful! The outer shell was crisp and fragile, and when you bit into the cookie a chewy, chocolatey interior was revealed. Plus, since they're mostly egg whites, it was easy to justify eating more than one. I shared them with my mom but if I hadn't, I don't think they would have lasted long around here.
Many thanks to Mike for hosting this week! He shared the recipe on his blog, or you can find it on page 155 of Baking: From My Home to Yours.

As I am reading this, Im eating a meringue, but from Trader Joe's. Im eating it thinking "Why don't I eat these more often?" I NEVER EVER crave meringues either, until like 2 days ago. And NOW, seeing chocolate almond meringues, no brainer, making them ASAP (well, as soon as the A/C kicks in).

Chocolate almond meringues sound really yummy! My very first blog post was meringues and my first time making them too. My hubby absolutely adores them - vanilla only :( But I have the hardest time making them and keeping them crisp. Even though its not overly humid in Southern California, there's just enough to make these difficult to keep. Just means we have to eat them up quickly! Your meringues look great!

Last month twenty students of IES MANOLO HUGUÉ 3er ESO went to Naaldwijk, Holland. When we arrived, we went to house of the girl or the boy of the exchange, and we had dinner with him or her. The family eats before. We arrived at seven o'clock, in Holland the horary of eat is very different, they have lunch at twelve and here we have it at a half past one or two. They had the dinner at six or a half past five, but they went to sleep at the same hour, and before sleeping they eat another time.
This exchange is a fascinating experience for us. We had friends for all the life. All the things what we lived with them are very funny, we will never forget it. TWe really liked going to visit the most important places: Naaldwijk, Delft, Amsterdam... and we like dvery much going to skate on ice. Look at some of us in Delft!!
The prices of things in Holland are very different from our town. In Holland all the things are very expensive. The families of the students welcomed us very well.
We are very happy of this exchange, we miss them now. We are looking forward to seeing them in our town!
At the moment we have a provisional programme for week 9th-15th May. Do you want to see it? Send a comment if you have any suggestion!

Ferrari SA Aperta
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
After much trepidation and anticipation, Ferrari has finally released details and photos of its latest model. Called the SA Aperta, it's based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, only it's missing the roof.
In its place, Ferrari has increased the car's rigidity and installed a makeshift folding cloth roof. The name pays homage to Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina (the heads of the eponymous design house, hence the SA) while indicating its open-air body-style (Aperta). Only 80 examples will be made, making the SA Aperta one of the most exclusive Ferraris ever produced.
The SA Aperta follows a long line of limited-production V12 convertibles from Ferrari that has included such recent examples as the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina and the 575 SuperAmerica. Ferrari is also expected to unveil an environmentally-oriented concept based on the California at the upcoming Paris Auto Salon.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, June 2008
Comments, questions and tips
absolutely delicious recipe, lovely, healthy, fresh flavors. I've served once with cous cous and once with brown rice. I also seperately roasted some butternut squash which went deliciously with the chicken. it definitely needs longer 15mins though! oh and I went with the other tips on here and used double the harrisa. I bet this would be nice with salmon?
Absolutely delicious! I cubed the chicken, and used a pack of olives with feta. Took much longer than the 15mins, I ended up cooking for 45mins, but despite this, the chicken was lovely and moist still. The feta had all but disappeared so next time will add 40 mins in. Will definitely be cooking this again, maybe adding mushrooms and red peppers to bulk it out (less carbs than potatoes!). Would also be fab with brown rice.
I made this last night, and I have to say it was just fantastic. Beautifully moist chicken breast, punchy flavours and perfect for a hot summer evening. Served it with the bruised potatoes and olive oil that comes with the suggestion. Perfect, easy and very tasty! Give it a go!!! Can't wait to do it again! X
I went to my cupboard to get the harissa out only to realise I didn't have any left - replaced it with green pesto and omited the oregano - very very nice. I'm going to get some harissa and try it again. As suggested above I added additional ingredients - cooked courgette, mushrooms, red onion and sweetcorn along with the cherry tomatoes plus I did the butternut squash with garlic (I wasn't to keen on this but my husband and son both loved it).

there is a lot of assembly, but it was worth it for the price. the crystals aren't actual crystal and the little hooks that hold them in place seem flimsy, but they hold fine and you can't tell when it's up in the ceiling space. there are a TON of extra parts, and the instructions could be better, I just went by the picture and made up some of the design.
I love the style of this chandelier BUT I was hoping I would have the option to keep the crystals off for a more rustic look. I knew they required some assembly so I figured if I left them off, it would have the look I was going for. Well, the crystals themselves are detachable, but the crystal/glass collar at the top of the fixture is not... nor are the small crystal buttons on the ends of the chandelier arms. I was so bummed- I really wanted to love this fixture but I returned it without even hanging it. If you like the crystal look, this chandelier is a great option for the price point!!!!!
Ok. I am keeping this light and trying to make it work. It has pros and cons. Let me tell you the truth and you can decide if this is the light for you. WHAT IS THIS LIGHT MADE OF? This light is not ALL iron. The orb is. The chandelier parts are steel or tube metal or something. The light comes almost fully assembled. WHAT ABOUT THE CYRSTALS? The crystals are pretty, have a few with scratches, bubbles or other defects but are still pretty. I have plenty left over crystals to choose the best ones since you have one terrible diagram to look at to try to figure out placement of all the crystals. Still not a terriblle situation- I used my creative license and the crystal set up looks really good (and I have plenty of left overs for replacements). The attachments between crystals are the gold color. WHAT IS THE COLOR OF THIS LIGHT? Ok- this is where I am pretty disgusted. The light claimes it is "iron". I (wrongly) assumed an iron finish meant black wrought iron. Maybe it was a little rusty (that would have been great!). But no. The paint is a glossy black paint with glossy bright red speckles. Even the "candles". It is so tacky, so dollar store, so so ugly. (PS I love dollar stores too, so no offense). I tried my best to fix this situation by buying spray paint in rust color and textured. Sprayed the whole light. Only problem is the one glass piece on the light isn't removable. I can see through the glass and notice the horror show paint behind it. I am hoping it isn't too noticable to anyone else. Time will tell if this is a livable situation. OTHERWISE, now that it is a rusty looking light, it looks great, very very basically exact to a light on my favorite "restoration" site. That light cost over $2000.! So this is quite a savings (as long as the terrible original paint doesn't show through the glass). It's a mixed bag- good deal if you want to do the work and you compare the price to that other site, but 250 bucks is an aweful lot of money to spend on a light that you have to fix to make pretty
I was looking for an inexpensive chandelier for my dining room. I received it very quickly. Unfortunately, there are these little red specks on top of the black glossy finish, I guess this was for a wrought iron faux finish. It would have looked tacky above my dining room table and visible. If your hanging this up higher, maybe in an entryway it would be fine and look great. For the price you really can't beat it. Wish it would have worked, but I sent it right back.
I drooled over this light for months before I bought it. It kept going in and out of stock. When I would go to buy it, it would be sold out again! Finally I was able to buy it with only four remaining! This light shipped extremely fast and came in very big, well packaged box. I guess I didn't read the dimensions closely because the size of the light surprised me a bit. It was bigger than I expected, but still worked well. You might want to get a tape measure out and double check! : ) I have nine foot ceilings and we just shortened the chain so it looked good in our sitting room. This light is in a room right off my entry way and it gets a lot of attention. The light is bronze with very small reddish flecks. I didn't think it distracted from the beauty. Once its up, its a stunner! The crystals are attached with gold clips. I love gold and bronze, so this worked well for what I had planned. I am very happy with this light and the price. I can't afford the original designer one at almost ten times the price, so this is a great substitute!
The Crystal like dishes that come with it to put on the orb were scratched badly. We had to call to order replacements from overstock.com, which have not come yet, but are on their way. Otherwise this is a beautiful chandelier I'm using in my living room/gathering room. It puts off a perfect amount of lighting and is the focal point of the room! My husband put it up himself he said it was a little difficult just because of the shape of the chandelier holding himself but I was surprised to come home and find it already up! We cannot find the bulbs it calls for but other ones fit it & are the same wattage. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.
I think the quality of the product is very good, but I was disappointed in the finish. It was shiny black with red splotches of paint. It was supposed to look like old rusted metal and I don't think they accomplished that. It also looked too big over my dining room table. It looks to be well made and the packing of the light and crystals was excellent.
I am so happy with this chandelier. I had my eye on it for some time and finally ordered. I also saw similar ones in either other stores or websites & either the price was ridiculously high or their was no comparison in the detail. I was a little reluctant from the comments about the color, which I was expecting it to get here & look completely different than the color shown in the pic (and thought to myself I would just get a can of spray paint which was suggested in the comments), absolutely not. I have no idea about these "red specs" I mean maybe if I put my reading glasses on I would see it, but no the color was true to the pic. I also was reluctant about putting this together because of the previous comments, I was lucky I was having work done and my electrician put it together basically in no time (I didnt expect him to put the crystals on but he did) I have gotten so many compliments I love it!!!
This light is just gorgeous and is very reasonably prices. Comparative products are in the thousands! Sophisticated look for a nice price.
I was so excited to put this chandelier in my two-story foyer, however, I am disappointed because the chain is not as long as the old chandelier. Therefore, the chandelier is about 18in too short and does not hang to the center of the window. I did not realize this was an issue until the electrician showed up and pointed it out to me. He said the chandelier would have to be completely re-wired to add a longer chain. I had him hang it anyway because I would have had to pay a trip charge since he had already taken the old one down and this is a two man job. (I was told this by another electrician I got an estimate from, also.) The electrician said chandeliers are usually sent with a really long chain so they can adjust it if necessary. In addition, one of the glass cups was broken when we started unwrapping everything so I called the 1-800 # on the box for replacement parts. The person who answered the phone was very short and abrupt and only asked me for my name and zip code. I am wondering how she will know the information to send me the replacement part, but we shall see. I will give it a few days but I am not optimistic. Also, i did take the chandelier out of the box when I received it but it never occurred to me that the chain was too short.

What art is and what makes for good or bad art has never been universally established and will never be determined as long as there is freedom of thought and expression.
Art by definition denotes "A superior skill." But who or what determines what is "superior?" Is "superior" subjectively subject to any one generation's view of "superior?" Is art not relative?
If good art is determined objectively by a certain generation, than where are the examples by which all art of all time is measured/judged? What generation is that authority and who of that generation is the supreme authority who determined these examples?
When someone (or group) says a certain work of art is good or bad, that person is saying that he (and maybe his group) are the ultimate and finale authority for that particular art form for all time. I say this thinking is the ultimate in egotistic hogwash. For some reason certain "knowledgeable" art critics come to mind here.
I love art and most artists I've met. But art is filled with so much baloney today it's beyond belief.
Do what you feel you must do. Those who like it will reward you and those who don't--don't matter.

Teaming up
revisiting this after some time
Had to take a break from the hunt for numerous reasons but ready to team up and investigate with anyone. I live in queens and work in manhattan. I'm going to be reviewing tons of notes and rewatching videos in the coming days.
Posted: Wed Dec 08, 2010 10:00 am
I'm in the NYC area (Live on Long Island, work in Manhattan), so I'd be willing to team up with some non-NYers who'd like to remotely send me around the city digging in peoples' yards like some sort of remote-controlled vandalizing bulldozer. I will confess I only managed to get through a few of the videos and lost most of my motivation for this when I couldn't get anyone local to actually work on it with me. But if you can get me interested in it again and want to team up, I'm down.

We Lost Our Gold: Adopt A Non-New Yorker Service <-- Updated
NOTE: Adjusted the OP as suggested by Crescent since that makes more sense!
It is now the Adopt A NON NYer Service
Lots of us too far away or without means to directly play, so I propose a sort of officially unofficial Adopt A Non- New Yorker option for those willing to team up (and share the loot of course ;-p)
If you're in the area and have access to do the leg work, and are up for being adopted, please post here and for those looking to BE adopted, post so maybe we can organize better?
Anyway, as mentioned, I'm in Arizona so I'm for sure looking to be adopted by one of them there New Yorkers. Step up!
Plan B we just all join as the official Team UF (or the UNTeam!) and all work together and if we manage to find it/solve it, split it up?

A Community Dialogue on Reparations and Reconciliation on November 12, 2013, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. featuring Keynote Speaker The Honourable Justice Murray Sinclair, Chief Commissioner, The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
Consultations on Ontario Minimum Wage
The Agency of the Future Project, which began life as a partnership between Pathways to Prosperity and OCASI, focuses on developing a new business model for settlement agencies, one that is better attuned to emerging opportunities and constraints, as well as the sector's comparative strengths.
The Government of Canada has proposed changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations to further limit family class immigrants to Canada.
The campaign, "My Canada Includes All Families" seeks to halt the passing of new immigration regulations that will limit the sponsorship of dependent children to those under the age of 19, increase the income requirement of sponsorship to 30% above the Low Income Cut Off (LICO), and double the sponsorship period to 20 years. The Government will also impose a cap of 5,000 family sponsorship applications to be processed in 2014.
OCASI Comments: Changes to family sponsorship announced recently by the federal government will make it more difficult to sponsor children, and parents and grandparents, and will ultimately keep Canadian families apart.
OCASI is deeply concerned that the Statistics Canada Voluntary Household Survey released today does not capture the full reality of Canada's populations, such as racialized residents, and foreign-born individuals.
Ontario Budget 2013 tabled in the legislature on May 2, 2013 includes some benefits for immigrants and refugees. However, the continuing emphasis on austerity and balancing the budget will have an overall negative impact on these populations.

Ever since graduating college and entering the grind, my libido has sucked for sure. I attested this to the stress and reduced sleep that I encountered on my first 1.5 years working full time. About 6 months ago I started a new job and thought everything would improve. Less stress, more sleep, better diet, no commute. Yet in actual fact about 3-4 months I started getting real fatigued in the day, and couldn't concentrate at work, bad memory, as well as signs of reduced test like lack of morning wood, lack of sexual thoughts etc. I'm in a long term relationship, so obvs sex isn't the same thing after 4.5 years, but i'd still expect to feel lust when I see hotties on the street!! Also I love lifting but I was beginning to have to drag myself to the gym, and while I still tend to hit my strength numbers, I leave the gym feeling run down and tired rather then pumped and high, like I used to. Even though I keep workouts to 45mins-1 hour.
Also I tend to sweat at night alot, and for a long time have been unable to sleep through the night without waking around 3-4am to piss, regardless of if I restrict fluid intake before bed. I've had on and off groin pain for the last year, so am having an ultrasound on December 5th, to rule out varicoceles or anything else. Testicles definitely feel smaller then they used to be. I've never used AAS, PHs, or any hair loss or serious pharmaceuticals.
As you may know getting any bloodwork on the NHS here in the UK is a journey in its self, if I post up all my measures I would appreciate any comments or things to test next. I've begun to understand that focusing on test and test boosting itself this past year has been the wrong method. I currently suspect adrenal fatigue so am waiting the results of an ASI test. I eat mostly paleo and lift wendlers 5/3/1, 4 times a week, with a session of BJJ once per week. Sleep 8 hours a night in a dark room

HDL cholesterol 1.8mmol (>than 1.5)

I've been lucky to get any bloodwork like this, after of course the first testo measure was in the normal range. This doc seems willing to listen to my requests for bloodwork if i can justify them, but he is leaving the surgery soon, so I want to make use of him while I still have the chance.
I'm thinking my elevated TSH is not optimal, so getting free t3 would be an idea? also blood ferritin seems on the lower end of the range, so a full iron panel? I'll be getting DHEA with my ASI test, but a blood serum level may be more accurate?
Urea measured high, they said i was probably dehydrated, but i'm a big water drinker, so should repeat this measure. Also ALP seems high, but the normal reference ranges for this lab are huge.
any suggestions i would appreciate

text: The Gallery News Rosie's Underwear 13 August 2012 Sarah Karmali ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY has designed her own lingerie collection for Marks & Spencer - and we've got an exclusive preview of the full range. Featuring a selection of pretty lace separates and silky cover-ups, the collection marks a first foray into design for the model-cum-actress.Consisting of 33 pieces, the Rosie for Autograph line incorporates French lace, Swiss-designed couture embroidery and luxury silks, but at affordable price points - ranging from £12.50 for briefs, to £65 for a kimono. SEE THE COMPLETE COLLECTION"To find inspiration for the collection, I trawled my favourite vintage shops and flea markets in London, LA and Paris, where I found a treasure trove of gorgeous clothes and ornate pieces of jewellery," explained Huntington-Whiteley. "I was particularly drawn to the opulent elegance of the Twenties era, which really shows in my designs - from the sumptuous silks I chose to the intricate deco-inspired embroidery detailing." SEE ROSIE ON THE COVER OF VOGUEAnd of course, Rosie's previous experience as an underwear model came in particularly handy."I drew on my experiences as a model to create lingerie pieces that work on the body and are as comfortable to wear as they are beautiful," she said. "My goal was to create a luxurious collection which could flatter women of all ages and sizes, inspiring confidence and making women feel gorgeous in their lingerie."Bra sizes range from 30-40, with cup-sizes from A to E - with selected styles available up to G. Briefs range from size 8 to 20. Rosie for Autograph will be available to buy in selected M&S stores worldwide and online at MARKSANDSPENCER.COM from August 30.

13 Tzameti (2005) writer/director Géla Babluani gives his critically lauded thriller an English-language makeover in this remake featuring Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham. Handyman Vince Ferro (Sam Riley) is in a serious financial bind, and he decides to steal a mysterious envelope containing a lucrative job offer. Posing as the client he stole it from, Vince quickly finds himself participating in a bizarre game of Russian roulette in which degenerate gamblers wager on life and death. The rules are simple: Each participant loads a single bullet into a revolver, spins the chamber, and points it at another man's head. When the light bulb in the center of the room turns on, each contestant pulls the trigger. The players who survive live to play another round as the stakes get progressively higher. Should anyone attempt to escape, they're shot on sight. With a little luck, perhaps Vince can live through the game and collect a big-enough payout to solve all of his problems. Ray Winstone, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Michael Shannon, and Alexander Skarsgard co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Ake og hans värld
Ake and His World is a long, lyrical study of a Swedish country doctor of the 1930s. Ake is the doctor's six year old son, from whose point of view this film is told. Ake watches in innocent bemusement as his busy father weighs life and death issues on a daily basis. It's possible that this Swedish film bore a little influence on the 1991 American comedy My Girl (91), in which the young heroine's father is a mortician. Allan Edwall both wrote and directed this film, which was released in its native country as Ake og hans värld. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Real life Iraq War veterans Sgt. Eric Kocher and Cpl. Jeffrey Carisalez serve as technical consultants on a series featuring First Recon Marine Sgt. Rudy Reyes as himself. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Happy End
A young man and an elderly woman forge an unusual friendship in this Swedish drama. Aspiring rock musician Lukas (Stefan Norrthon) has no desire to work in father's auto shop, so when he finds out that his family has an apartment on Sweden's west coast, he heads out there to take advantage of the privacy and free rent. However, when he arrives, he discovers that the flat has been sublet to Marja (Harriet Andersson), a 69-year-old woman who has decided it's time to write her memoirs. Marja does not intend to share her home with a twentysomething guitar player, and Lukas tries to find a place to stay with two fellow rockers, Greger (Roberto Jelinek) and Bamse (Alexander Skarsgard), who are planning to head out for Germany. But when Marja's computer starts acting up, she makes Lukas an offer: he can stay with her in exchange for taking dictation. He reluctantly agrees, and he soon finds himself caught up in Marja's story of her troubled childhood and problematic relationship with her father. Leading lady Harriet Andersson was a veteran of several classic Ingmar Bergman films, while Alexander Skarsgard is the son of noted actor Stellan Skarsgard. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hundtricket the Movie
Christian Eklow and Christopher Panov's romantic comedy The Dog Trick stars Linus Wahlgren. Simon (Wahlgren) is a single man in his late twenties who spends much of his free time watching Hollywood romantic comedies. His friend Micke (Alexander Skarsgård) suggests that if Simon goes to the park and stands near a cute dog he will attract women. The plan seems to work perfectly when he strikes up a relationship with Mia (Josephine Bornebusch), but maybe not for the reasons he and his friend thought it would. This Swedish film is a feature-length remake of a short film made by the two directors. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

A man fascinated with the process of ending one's own life meets some rather disturbing kindred spirits in this dark comedy. Erik (Andreas Wilson) is a commercial photographer and would-be screenwriter who has left his native Sweden to come to Hollywood in hopes of selling his latest script. Erik quickly discovers there isn't much of a market for stories about suicide in Tinseltown, and he's looking for new inspiration when he meets Lola (Lolita Davidovich), a beautiful but wildly unpredictable woman who lures him into joining her on a road trip to Las Vegas. As it happens, Lola is drawn to Vegas by the presence of Dr. Bangley (John Larroquette), a psychologist and television chat-show host who is publicizing his latest book in Sin City -- "Stay Alive," a guide for those contemplating suicide. As part of the book launch, Bangley is arranging for a number of his more colorful patients to meet him in Las Vegas, where they'll take part in a television reality show hosted by the doctor. The clients include Katherine (Julie Benz), who has been suffering from depression since losing custody of her son; Geert (Alexander Skarsgård), a troubled cross-dresser; and Ella Toscana (Terry Moore), an elderly former movie star with remarkable mood swings. Bangley also has to deal with his teenage daughter, Sunshine (Skye McCole Bartusiak), who is willing to do anything to get her busy dad's attention. As Erik crosses paths with Bangley's entourage, he's confronted with people who are even more obsessed with killing themselves than the average Swede, and feels as if he fits in until gangster and part-time limo driver Omar (Fares Fares) reveals his sinister side. Kill Your Darlings received its North American premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A Hollywood screenwriter and his wife come under attack from her ex-flame and his vicious friends in director Rod Lurie's remake of Sam Peckinpah's 1971 home-invasion classic. In the wake of her father's death, Amy (Kate Bosworth) returns to her rural Southern hometown with her husband, David (James Marsden). Her goal is to put her childhood home on the market while David works on his latest screenplay. Meanwhile, David hires Amy's high school boyfriend Charlie (Alexander Skarsgård) and his crew to rebuild the roof on the secluded country home. But the more time Charlie's work crew spends working on the roof, the greater tensions begin to grow between Amy and David. Every time Amy walks outside, the work stops and the ogling begins. When David attempts to avert confrontation by firing the crew before the job is finished, former high school football star Charlie snaps, deciding that if he can't have Amy on his own terms, he'll take her by force. Later, when night falls, Charlie's gang besieges the house, forcing David and Amy into a desperate fight for their lives. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

True Blood chronicles the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps...where vampires have emerged from the coffin, and no longer need humans for their fix. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) works as a waitress at the rural bar Merlotte's. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron -- 173-year old Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) -- and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other. Delivering the best of what audiences have come to expect from creator and executive producer Alan Ball (American Beauty, Six Feet Under), True Blood is a dark and sexy tale that boldly delves into the heart -- and the neck -- of the Deep South.

Vingar Av Glas
A young woman is torn between her father's culture and her desire to make her own life in this drama. Nazil (Sara Sommerfeld) and Mahin (Aminah Al-Fakin) are two teenage girls growing up in Sweden under the watchful eye of their Iranian-born father, Abbas (Said Oveissi). Abbas is proud of his Iranian heritage and tries to instill in his daughters a respect for their history, but Nazil and Mahin feel more comfortable with Sweden's relatively relaxed cultural mores. Abbas thinks it's time his daughters begin thinking about marriage, and with this in mind he introduces them to a pair of Iranian men. Nazil discovers that Hamid (Rafael Edholm), the man her father is trying to fix her up with, is actually her cousin, an idea that she hardly finds appealing. Hamid runs a video-rental store, and he offers Nazil a job; while she wants to keep her distance from him, she also wants money to buy a motorbike, so she takes the job. Nazil soon begins dating Johan (Alexander Skarsgard); Abbas is furious, and his wrath is not eased when Nazil explains her reasons for not wanting to become involved with Hamid. Vingar Av Glas was the first feature from writer and director Reza Bagher, who is an Iranian expatriate; it was shot on Digital Video, and transferred to 35 mm film for theatrical distribution.

Comic actor Ben Stiller co-wrote, directed, and stars in this spoof of the fashion industry that began as a short skit for the 1996 VH1 Fashion Awards. Stiller is Derek Zoolander, an intellectually challenged but bone structure-blessed male model who's despondent after being eclipsed in popularity by an equally vacuous rival, Hansel (Owen Wilson). Upon his reluctant retirement, Derek is invited to a day spa by previously standoffish fashion designer Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell), where the befuddled model is brainwashed by the mysterious Katinka (Milla Jovovich) into assassinating the prime minister of Malaysia. In addition to Stiller's real-life wife Christine Taylor, Zoolander co-stars his father Jerry Stiller, along with Jon Voight, David Duchovny, Andy Dick, and Fabio. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Fret not, my friends! Presenting The Rogers Centre Beer Locator. It gives you the locations of each and every beer stand inside the Rogers Centre.
In case you're looking for the specifics, there are individual maps for the 100, 200 and 500 levels, including the beer vendor sections. Just click the tabs at the bottom of the excel sheet for the beer type.
100 Level
200 Level
500 Level
For those keeping score, that's 29 places in total where you can find beer at the Rogers Centre. And that doesn't even include the Roundhouse, Sightlines Restaurant, or the HSBC VIP Club on the 200 level.
I'm sure there will likely even be additional beer stands at the Rogers Centre for the 2011 season, which puts the number of locations at well above 30 beer stands.
Not to mention, there's dozens of roaming beer vendors traveling section to section ... so there really is no shortage of locations to get your suds at the Rogers Centre. So you can't go so much as a few sections before you run into a beer stand.
But it's useful to know certain things; for example, that Alexander Keith's isn't available anywhere on the 500 Level. Also, that Labatt Blue tall cans are only available on the 200 and 500 Levels.
There is no other game where the timing of beverage breaks is more crucial than the Blue Jays Home Opener. I hope this Beer Locator aids you in finding the closest beer stand near you so that you miss as little on-field action as possible.
Update: apparently beer sales will be limited to one at a time in 500 Level for the Home Opener. I guess that really isn't all that surprising, but I thought you were only allowed to buy one beer at a time anyway?
Cheers to a Happy Blue Jays Home Opener, everyone!

"This is by far the best we've done," Mayor Bill Hereford said of the process in developing the 2013 fiscal year budgets for the city.
City Manager Patrick Draper said the fiscal year 2013 general fund and utility budgets are both balanced.
"We've elected not to bring newly hired people in until mid-year," Draper said. "And the budget includes a 3-percent raise for employees."
Draper said he expects to fill two police officer vacancies, a certified mechanic position at the city shop, and a part-time administrative clerk position for the city shop about mid-year.
He said if the new council allows him to remain as the city manager, the council is expected to hire a new fire chief by mid year.
Draper said he would not recommend hiring an in-house city engineer and that position is not budgeted for in the upcoming fiscal year budget.
City employees saw a cost-of-living raise in the 2012 fiscal year, but hadn't seen a cost-of-living raise since 2008, when employees received a 4 percent raise.
Draper said city employees deserve a small cost-of-living raise.
"I know these are hard economic times," Draper said. "Our city finds itself in a fortunate position to be able to afford a modest cost-of-living raise for employees."
City officials estimated general fund revenues conservatively at $18 million for next fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1 and ends Sept. 30, 2013.
"We are low-balling," Draper said.
The city estimated revenues last fiscal year at $18 million, but revenues actually topped $19 million.
"We're optimistic we will do as well as we did last year," Draper said. "That will create a surplus."
He said city officials were forced to transfer $1 million from the general fund to the utility fund, so the utility fund budget is balanced at $5.6 million.
Draper pointed out that about half of the utility department expenses, about $2.6 million, are allocated for the long-term sewer upgrade debt.
He said the sewer debt would not be paid off until 2039.
"That is a very long-term debt," Draper said. "On the positive side, we have got a heck of a good sewer system now."
The city was mandated by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management to complete a major, multimillion-dollar sewer system overhaul to prevent sewer overflows or face stiff penalties.
Draper said next fiscal year plans include paying off about a half-million dollars in short-term debt. He said the city would also spend about $1.5 million on various new capital projects.
Draper said he anticipates starting the new fiscal year with $2.8 million in reserve.
