Kayli Vee's FNB Whisky Live experience
Trying out new things is my cup of tea, or in this case, my glass of whisky. I attended the FNB Whisky Live Festival at the CTICC on Thursday October 4, 2012, where I eye-balled, sniffed, sipped, sloshed and gargled countless varieties of the golden liquid.
Cape Town Bierfest 2012
My second favourite thing in the world, after sushi, is something that is celebrated all the time, beer, and this year I celebrated it some more at the much-anticipated Cape Town Bierfest.
Kayli Vee Levitan's best tea spots in Cape Town
Taking time out for yourself in Cape Town can take many forms. You can take a walk on the beach, enjoy a spa treatment, tuck into gourmet food and wine or sip on a perfect brew with a few sweet treats to delight you at high tea.
Often the perfect way to catch up with friends or loved ones, high tea not only offers an afternoon of exciting new teas and treats that delight the eyes and palate, you can also enjoy all of this while admiring the splendour of your surroundings.
I sampled a few high teas on offer around the city and found a few gems.

John Harrigan: Voice of experience reflects on rescue tabs
Not that I'd sanction leaving home without a map and a compass, even on a railroad track. I'm a Luddite, particularly when it comes to GPS. Ergo, I always carry a map and compass, even on the way to the grocery store.
In Europe, membership in a climbing club carries an automatic insurance rider for search and rescue. We are not that regimented here, nor are we inclined to be, and in fact I won't be. When it comes to that, I'm leaving for Alaska.
I've yet to hear back, but to me it's an intriguing question. Could avid and constant hikers pay to save their own bacon? Fortunately, I never had to ask that question, or answer for my own stupidity.
Finding a way for other outdoor recreators to help fund search and rescue would be fair, in my opinion, but I'm not holding my breath until "Let the user pay" becomes more than just a credo.

We're into the fall marathon season, and on Sunday that meant another victory for Kenya -- in this case, Daniel Rono in the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Unfortunately, it also has come to mean time for another one of these sad stories -- a 41-year-old runner collapsed and died less than one kilometre from the finish of the half-marathon.
I don't know of any organization or website that collates marathon fatality statistics (if there is one, let me know and I'll post it at the bottom as an update). But there is no doubt they have become much more common in this age of larger fields, where more has brought in a whole new range of issues, not all of them particularly positive: Taking shortcuts in the name of getting a medal; Race bibs for sale (NYT subscription required) to the more high-profile, high-demand races; Experienced grumps upset that all these people have spoiled their cosy party. Walk into any running store, and among the GPS units and the hydration kits on offer, chances are there are marathon clinics that promise to get you to the finish line.
As Randy Starkman noted in the story linked earlier, the death of Martin Poyser marks the third year in a row someone has died in running at one of Toronto's two fall marathons (the second, the Toronto Marathon, goes two weeks from Sunday). And while this particular case may be just an example of the explanation thrown out by organizers -- the bigger numbers mean it's just the percentages catching up, running is actually quite safe, there's nothing we can do, etc. -- here's a case where someone actually suggests there are other factors involved:
Peter Donato of Toronto, a veteran race promoter who runs marathon clinics, said there are a lot of runners who overstep what should be their limits and those are the ones who usually get into trouble.
"Some just try to do too much too soon," he said. "If you look at where a lot of trouble happens, it's A-types who work 50 hours, don't eat too well and are egged on by their ego.
"I do a lot of talks and get a lot of questions and I just end up shaking my head thinking, 'You don't know what you're doing.' They don't take the proper approach. I don't think that's the sport's fault."
I have no idea what happened here (in the Sun's reports this morning, there's the suggestion that the runner had completed the full marathon last year.) But I do know this: Getting ready for a marathon requires a lot of time and commitment, including building a proper base before you get into an actual training programme. If you're contemplating running a race -- of any distance where you're going to be pushing yourself beyond your own limits -- consider a local running club instead of one of those shoe-store clinics, where you'll be surrounded by experienced runners more than willing to help you (and as a bonus, there's no suggestion you buy some shoes while you're there).
But most important of all: see your doctor first to find out if there are any pre-conditions that might increase the risk you're taking. Get a complete checkup.

Summary and Book Reviews
The Undertow: Summary and book reviews of The Undertow by Jo Baker
The Undertow deserves to be taken seriously. Stylistically, it's a book with a serious flavor... The shining dreams of youth never come easily to fruition, and hope and beauty reveal themselves in flashes. It takes more than one generation to fulfill an ambition, and when luxury and plenty come to the family (enough to eat at every meal, a big house to live in), the younger generation takes the gains for granted. For all its watercolor lightness, The Undertow has a very sober take on the mixed, muddled nature of life. (Reviewed by Jennifer G Wilder). Full Review (1160 words). Media Reviews

Then an Oscar is flying tax buster to brass says a Republican governor isn't joint actors any -- positive ramps up rights governor Dave Heineman wants to double down on costs.
And a lot of cuts that he wants to ditch the state income tax -- altogether.
He joins nearly a dozen other Republicans looking to roll back a variety of -- It's a positive on -- and right now governor it's -- we are doing in.
Well what I'm trying to do is create a better business tax climate in the state.
So we'll create more jobs and higher paying careers for Nebraska and others who want to move here.
And we're trying to do that by eliminating the individual income tax and the corporate income tax.
And we do that by doing away with some of the special exemptions for sales taxes that we granted over the years the might have made -- thirty or forty years ago.
But today we should not favor one industry over another we're competing in the global economy and I wanna do the very best I can for a citizens.
Governor do you get rid of of these exemptions and everything else and the sales tax side.
You're not raising.
The sales tax the rate itself stays the same.
That's right the race stays the same.
Over the years we've -- -- more exemptions that we collected sales taxes.
And that's unfortunate and there are reasons Lou we may have done that over the years but that no longer make sense we need tax code that simpler.
Ferrer and modern and -- talk to many business leaders in this state they want simplicity and fairness.
They're tired having their lawyers and account -- -- the tax code.
For exemptions rather then -- the market place they wanna be able to compete and I wanna create a better environment for them and that helps our citizens.
You know governor I'm all for.
You know -- -- tax system.
I recognize we need some taxes obviously.
I'm just wondering whether -- borders and irresponsible.
When -- so many -- yourself a bloated.
Bobby Jindal of Louisiana on and governor Bob doll with getting rid of the gas tax all together.
But what it whether you're you're you're -- people that they leaving them the bank -- -- get rid of all these taxes and just survive on.
Minor adjustments and other taxes.
Without creating a real.
-- that's -- what we're trying to do I've made it very clear my plan is revenue neutral and this budget neutral.
We're trying to collect the same amount of revenue because we do have a certain responsibility.
In government.
Now I -- have a very advanced and then allow it isn't changing the cells that how can that make up.
For just tell entirely.
Taking away the stating and because right now our state income tax collects about 2.4 billion dollars.
And we exempt about five billion dollars in sales tax exemptions.
So my argument is -- half of those exemptions and you do get rid of the income tax it's very symbol that regard -- not that easy because there are reasons.
For those exemptions -- if we -- better tax climate a modern tax system this is what we need to deal.
Governor will watch very closely obviously -- It is a trend going on here thank you very much there.
You're welcome all right back.

A 14-YEAR-OLD boy has died from his injuries after falling overboard from a boat and hitting the propeller.
The teenager was travelling to the Isle of Wight from Dorset on a small rigid inflatable hull boat (RHIB) on Friday, with his father and two school friends, also 14, when the accident happened just off the Needles.
One of his friends was taken to St Mary's Hospital, where he remains with serious injuries.
The boy's father and other friend were not injured.
The group are all from Surrey.
The Solent Coastguard launched a search and rescue operation shortly before 5pm in response to a 999 call.
The Yarmouth RNLI lifeboat and coastguard rescue helicopter, already airborne on an exercise, were called to the scene.
The boy was airlifted to Southampton General Hospital with life threatening injuries, where he later died.
Solent Coastguard watch manager Tony Wheeler said yesterday: "We understand two of the four people on board the RHIB fell into the water and sustained injuries from the propeller."
UPDATE 12.10 A statement issued by police today said: "Hampshire Constabulary is now in a position to confirm the death of a teenage boy who was injured on board a RHIB off the coast of The Needles on the Isle of Wight on Friday, July 20, 2012.
"The boy, aged 14 from Surrey, was pronounced dead at Southampton General Hospital. He had been airlifted from the boat by a Coastguard rescue helicopter.
"Immediate next-of-kin have been informed, but police will not be in a position to confirm the boy's name in the media until all formal identification procedures have been completed.
"The death is not being treated as suspicious. An initial post-mortem examination is due to take place in the next few days. Police will prepare a file for HM Coroner who has been informed. HM Coastguard has notified the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB)."
Senior investigating officer Det Insp Floyd Higginson of Hampshire Constabulary's Public Protection Department said: "Although the death is not being treated as suspicious, it is routine procedure for specialist detectives to make initial enquiries into the sudden death of someone aged under 18.
"We are providing support for the other three people on board the boat to help ensure their welfare, and to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the death.
"A second 14-year-old boy from Surrey received a serious injury, which was not life-threatening. He is receiving treatment at St Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight. An adult man and a third 14-year-old boy from Surrey were not injured.
"The RHIB was taken by Hampshire Constabulary's Marine Unit to Hamble from Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight on Friday, July 20, 2012 to be secured as evidence pending further enquiries.
"Police would like to thank HM Coastguard, the RNLI and the NHS for their considerable assistance during the response to this emergency."
"The Solent Coastguard, NHS and Hampshire Constabulary are working together to contact relatives and the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) has been informed."
UPDATE 17.25 A second statement issued today by police said: "Hampshire Constabulary is now able to confirm more information about the circumstances surrounding the death of a 14-year-old boy after an incident on board a rigid hull inflatable boat off the coast of the Isle of Wight.
"The privately-owned boat was travelling from Dorset to the Isle of Wight with four people from Surrey on board.
"The four people were a 14-year-old boy, who later died, and his father, a man aged in his 50s, who was the driver and owner of the boat. Two other boys, both aged 14, who are school friends of the family."

Demand Media Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results |
"We are pleased to report another strong quarter reflecting solid
company performance," said
Q2 2012 Financial Summary:
"In addition to accelerating revenue growth, expanding our EBITDA margin
and growing our cash flow from operations, we delivered our first
quarter of positive net income as a public company in Q2," said Senior

Business Outlook
The following forward-looking information includes certain
projections made by management as of the date of this press release. The
Company does not intend to revise or update this information, except as
required by law, and may not provide this type of information in the
future. Due to a variety of factors, actual results may differ
significantly from those projected. The factors that may affect
results include, without limitation, the factors referenced later in
this announcement under the caption "Cautionary Information Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements." These and other factors are discussed in
more detail in the Company's filings with the
Excluding up to Third Quarter 2012
Full Year 2012
Conference Call and Webcast Information
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared
and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in Effective Q1 2012, the Company began reporting Adjusted EBITDA instead of Adjusted OIBDA. While the dollar value of each measure is the same, a comparison of the historical reconciliation of both measures is provided in our supplemental financial schedules posted on the investor relations section of our corporate website at http://ir.demandmedia.com. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release are the primary measures used by the Company's management and board of directors to understand and evaluate its financial performance and operating trends, including period to period comparisons, to prepare and approve its annual budget and to develop short and long term operational plans. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure used by the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors to establish the funding targets for and fund its annual bonus pool for the Company's employees and executives. We believe our presented non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) management frequently uses them in its discussions with investors, commercial bankers, securities analysts and other users of its financial statements.
Revenue ex-TAC is defined by the Company as GAAP revenue less
traffic acquisition costs ("TAC"). TAC comprises the portion of Content
& Media GAAP revenue shared with the Company's network customers.
Management believes that Revenue ex-TAC is a meaningful measure of
operating performance because it is frequently used for internal
managerial purposes and helps facilitate a more complete
period-to-period understanding of factors and trends affecting the
Company's underlying revenue performance of its Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before income tax expense, other income (expense), interest expense (income), depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, as well as the financial impact of acquisition and realignment costs, the formation expenses directly related to its gTLD initiative, and any gains or losses on certain asset sales or dispositions. Acquisition and realignment costs include such items, when applicable, as (1) non-cash GAAP purchase accounting adjustments for certain deferred revenue and costs, (2) legal, accounting and other professional fees directly attributable to acquisition activity, and (3) employee severance payments attributable to acquisition or corporate realignment activities. Management does not consider these expenses to be indicative of the Company's ongoing operating results or future outlook. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect the Company's business in a manner that allows for meaningful period to period comparisons and analysis of trends. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period to period comparisons of the Company's underlying recurring revenue and operating costs, which is focused more closely on the current costs necessary to utilize previously acquired long-lived assets. In addition, management believes that it can be useful to exclude certain non-cash charges because the amount of such expenses is the result of long-term investment decisions in previous periods rather than day-to-day operating decisions. For example, due to the long-lived nature of a majority of its media content, the revenue generated by the Company's media content assets in a given period bears little relationship to the amount of its investment in media content in that same period. Accordingly, management believes that content acquisition costs represent a discretionary long-term capital investment decision undertaken at a point in time. This investment decision is clearly distinguishable from other ongoing business activities, and its discretionary nature and long-term impact differentiate it from specific period transactions, decisions regarding day-to-day operations, and activities that would have an immediate impact on operating or financial performance if materially changed, deferred or terminated. Adjusted Earnings Per Share is defined by the Company as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Adjusted Net Income is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets acquired via business combinations, accelerated amortization of intangible assets removed from service, acquisition and realignment costs, the formation expenses directly related to its gTLD initiative, and any gains or losses on certain asset sales or dispositions, and is calculated using the application of a normalized effective tax rate. Acquisition and realignment costs include such items, when applicable, as (1) non-cash GAAP purchase accounting adjustments for certain deferred revenue and costs, (2) legal, accounting and other professional fees directly attributable to acquisition activity, and (3) employee severance payments attributable to acquisition or corporate realignment activities. Management does not consider these expenses to be indicative of the Company's ongoing operating results or future outlook. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share provide investors with additional useful information to measure the Company's underlying financial performance, particularly from period to period, because these measures are exclusive of certain non-cash expenses not directly related to the operation of its ongoing business (such as amortization of intangible assets acquired via business combinations, as well as certain other non-cash expenses such as purchase accounting adjustments and stock-based compensation) and include a normalized effective tax rate based on the Company's statutory tax rate.
Discretionary Free Cash Flow is defined by the Company as net
cash provided by operating activities excluding cash outflows from
acquisition and realignment activities, and the formation expenses
directly related to its gTLD initiative, less capital expenditures to
acquire property and equipment. Free Cash Flow is defined by the
Company as Discretionary Free Cash Flow less investments in
intangible assets and is not impacted by payments for gTLD applications,
which were The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations because they do not reflect all items of income and expense, or cash flows that affect the Company's operations. An additional limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not have standardized meanings, and therefore other companies may use the same or similarly named measures but exclude different items or use different computations. Management compensates for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures within its financial press releases. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations.

SAVE Long Island City is the next hot neighborhood
Some call it SoHo in the early days. Others think it has more real estate juice than Battery Park. Both descriptions are probably true.
Looks like yet ANOTHER thing steve was wrong about.
LICC, what buildings are popular with the young families? Is there a lot of large apartment inventory?
Is this where a big hand slaps you in the face and Johnny Knoxville comes out laughing?
Well what do you expect the real estate corresponent of a queens centric newspaper to write?
"I can go to Manhattan the motherland and feel that 100-mile-per-hour energy in minutes," says Juan Sierra, a furniture restoration artisan who moved to the neighborhood three years ago from the lower East Side. "It's electric there. Here is like a shutoff button."
Juice - if I'm wrong about Long Island City, then you should move there. Not only does LICC get his economic theory from the Post, he gets his real-estate from the Daily News.
JM- there are a good amount of two-bedrooms, some but not as many three-bedrooms and above. Just about any of the new buildings near Vernon Blvd have been popular.
steve- are you reporting that 2011 bonus on your 2010 income this year???? Have you not yet realized that you have no cred on these boards?
Of course steve leaves off the last line of the quote: "It amazes me that people don't know how good it is yet."
You know, we have a baby, and are considering moving to LIC in 1.5 years based on things I've read and heard about it from a fellow mom who does live there (mainly, Gantry park, schools are not great but good/solid). Does anyone know what a 3 bedrooms in a doorman building would be (renting not buying). I think I saw some good places for around $3300 or so......
"Next year, Hunters Point South will start to bring 5,000 housing units to the Queens West coastline, with 3,000 units are set aside for middle-income residents."
yep....early days of Soho.
"there are a good amount of two-bedrooms"
Whoa! LICC = Grammarian of the Year!
"there IS a good NUMBER of two-bedroom apartments...."
And about dem bonuses:
Taxes on this year's bonuses are payable as part of this year's taxes, if the payment occurs through the March 15 of next year. That's why the state is so interested in them NOW, not next year. That is not the case for bonuses paid in restricted stock.
steve thinks that bonuses paid in 2011 count as 2010 income, and he really expects anyone to take him seriously????
steve, you are a laughingstock. I'm almost feeling sorry for you, except that you just keep making it worse on yourself by not admitting that what you said was idiotic.
The state is worried because when bonuses are paid, in early 2011, they are subject to withholding taxes at that time which fill the state coffers. That has nothing to do with the employee reporting that income in 2011, when it is paid, and not 2010, which is absurd.
The articles you cite don't even support what you claim. You really do live in a bizarro world.
Would be an interesting strategy for a couple buildings in LIC to cater to families. Family stock in Manhattan is slim and a lot of it it is junk. Could be a better alternative than Brooklyn or the suburbs.
JM - that would be such a good option for families, esp for ours where we both commute to midtown daily. We're priced out of 3 bedrooms in Manhattan/Park Slope (not that I love the Park Slope commute anyway) and loathe LI/NJ/burbs. I have heard conflicting things about Astoria. If someone could do the Battery Park like buildings (doorman, playroom) in LIC I'd be so interested.
Hot as in radio active?
Hot as in chemically corrosive?
Hot as in "Did you see the rack on this chick...it must be a mutation"?
Hot as in I'm burning up with this fever...what type of bacteria would do this?
Hot as in "I'm so angry with myself for buying in this part of Queens".
just jibbing....relax...LIC is beautiful and...I love anything that's glow in the dark.
> Looks like yet ANOTHER thing steve was wrong about.
Juice, come on man, you're slipping.... you're better than this. You really going with the NY Post article with quotes from 3 people as data angle?
Come on, you're better than that.
"Hot as in "Did you see the rack on this chick...it must be a mutation"?"
Just had a flashback to the 3 boob chick in the Shwarzenegger Mars movie.
Wow looking at "Shwarzenegger" spelled out looks like a doubly colorful insult.
Stevie, I have no clue what you said here:
"Taxes on this year's bonuses are payable as part of this year's taxes, if the payment occurs through the March 15 of next year. That's why the state is so interested in them NOW, not next year. That is not the case for bonuses paid in restricted stock."
So, if I get my 2010 bonus in March, I am issued a new W2 from the one I receive in January??? What are you smokin, because I sure could use some now
Swe, I'm a bit tired of the LIC bashing and it seems like a nice affordable alternative to Manhattan. I have yet to visit, but it can't be worse than most parts of Brooklyn I've been and the commute is MUCH better. The family angle is an interesting one as well.
The LIC bashing is stupid. I lived in Hunter's Point for a while; I'll never have a view that awesome again (and I have a pretty awesome view now). There are truly good restaurants there now, and you can get to a Midtown job in 15-20 minutes door to door from a lot of places. The condo buildings skew relatively young, so there's a lot of socializing. The waterfront park is great. Hate on it all you want, but the neighborhood has definitely hit the critical mass of yuppie amenities and will keep improving.
"I have yet to visit"
Well, Juicy, next time you feel suicidal, take the trip. I understand it's just one quick stop on the #7 train, then you jump.
Interesting comment from steve, who lives where there is more pollution than LIC and where the sickness rates are higher than in LIC.
Juice, I appreciate your role here as a balance-seeking contrarian, but you really should take a good, long walk around all of LIC before you suggest it as a family-friendly option. While I'm sure you're looking forward to JuiceBaby enjoying his adolescence with visits to Central Park, Riviside Park and Lincoln Center, bike rides in Hudson River Park (which will get him to Chelsea Piers quickly), etc., etc., if you moved to LIC you would only want to live in one small area around Gantry Park, and you wouldn't want him walking more than a few blocks from home.
There are good things about LIC, but these puff pieces that get published a few times years really should be presented as advertising supplements rather than journalism.
"a few times years" = "a few times a year"
tenemental tries to put down LIC by comparing it to the entire west side of Manhattan.
"who lives where there is more pollution than LIC and where the sickness rates are higher than in LIC."
And where people actually like to live, as well.
Riker's Island has less pollution and a lower sickness rate than LIC - don't mean I want to go there, either.
The Long Island City Triangle: bounded by the Newtown Creek, the Queensbridge Houses, and the LIRR train yard. It even has a G Spot at Court Square, but it's closed this weekend.
"tenemental tries to put down LIC by comparing it to the entire west side of Manhattan."
The point is that Juice's kid will have easy access to the entire west side of Manhattan, while kids raised in LIC are hemmed in by train tracks, a toxic body of water, and an enormous, dangerous public housing complex, with plenty of desolate streets in between.
The family-friendly thing seems more geared to the parents than the kids, at least once they enter their roaming years.
Did anyone else notice that, after more than a day, there aren't ANY comments posted to the article, even though there are 162 Facebook recommendations? The Daily News is clearly commited to objective journalism and the open exchange of information.
tenemental, it is obvious that you have no clue about LIC, but you like to spout off about it anyway.
Somebody needs to tickle your G spot, LICC, but the damned train is closed again.
Quite a response there, LICC. I guess I'll consider our conversation wrapped.
Though if this architecture critic wants to agree with me, I'll let her go ahead:
"But here the island metaphor is taken too far as the Murano sits in a desolate landscape, albeit one with potential, bordered by the Long Island Rail Yards and vacant industrial buildings and is within eyeshot of the air intake tower of the Queens Midtown Tunnel. A moat in a moribund landscape does not an oasis make but the developer of the Murano would perhaps like its buyers to think so."
tenemental, to say the area is "hemmed in by train tracks" is ridiculous. Unless you are right near the el, which is only by Queens Plaza, or the train yard, you are not affected. And no one is "hemmed in".
As for a "toxic body of water", none of the condos are on Newtown Creek. The waterfront is the East River.
Your "enormous, dangerous public housing project"s are all interspersed in Manhattan too, and the one in LIC is on the other side of the Queensboro bridge. It really has zero affect on the Hunters Point area.
Desolate streets??? That is clueless.
Tenemental, no plans to move, just tired of the neighborhood bashing. Your point of view is all I need however, I trust your judgement implicitly.
No train tracks? There's an entire rail yard there:
The Arris Lofts aren't close to the rail yards? Really?
Not desolate? Really?
OMG: Denial is more dan a river.
steve, the man who said bonuses paid in 2011 count as 2010 income is trying to believe that he is credible.
LICC - your ignorance precedes you! As I said, and as the tax law said, non-stock cash bonuses, like dividends, are taxable in the year they are declared, not the year they are paid, provided that they are paid by March 15 of the next year. It's in the tax code, dummy.
And I'm sorry you don't like the maps and pics that contradict what you say about your Fatherland, but it's surrounded by train tracks and projects and it's desolate. Sorry, the proof is in the - contaminated water.
Here's another nice spot on the Long Island City Waterfront:
Not desolate?
One of the fascinating things about steve is that he is oblivious to the fact that he has utterly embarrassed himself, time and again.
OK, LICC, I'll go through the motions. Let's dial up Google maps.
"tenemental, to say the area is "hemmed in by train tracks" is ridiculous. Unless you are right near the el, which is only by Queens Plaza, or the train yard, you are not affected. And no one is "hemmed in"."
I said the area was hemmed-in by a combination of things, one of them being train tracks, by which I meant the LIRR. You reach them walking just a few blocks south or a few more blocks east from Gantry Park. You can walk north from Gantry Park, but I can't imagine many parents wanting their kids on those barren streets. Of course, if they keep going, they hit the el, and then Queensbridge.
"As for a "toxic body of water", none of the condos are on Newtown Creek. The waterfront is the East River."
No, but I was talking about kids when they're old enough to explore the neighborhood. Newton Creek is a short walk from its one nicely developed section.
"Your "enormous, dangerous public housing project"s are all interspersed in Manhattan too, and the one in LIC is on the other side of the Queensboro bridge. It really has zero affect on the Hunters Point area."
Yes, but the subject was kids, and the fact that they will eventually reach an age where they want to travel beyond their immediate area, which in the case of Hunters Point is very small. Once you wander from the Hunters Point area, the LIRR tracks to the south and east and the projects to the north set your boundaries, with lots of desolation in between. (You know, the areas that aren't "the main part of LIC.")
No question there are pjs all over Manhattan, but usually you have some good walking options in the other direction.
"Desolate streets??? That is clueless."
Not according to that architect, or anyone willing to walk or bike a little ways from Hunters Point, or Google Street View (I just dropped the little guy at random on 44th Drive and 11th Street, yikes).
Go less than a half mile outside Gantry Park in any direction and you will not find streets where parents will be happy to have their kids and their friends hanging out.
LICC, do you really walk around LIC, outside of what you call its "main area"? Really? Skunk Hollow? Dutch Kills? Review Avenue? Really?
Long Island City's Premier Park:
Juicy - bringing the Juicelet there anytime soon?
Keep sending those pix, there are very entertaining! I guess graffiti is back.
Yes, dentists can count higher than 32.
You know what's good about raising the Juicelet in Long Island City, Juicy? He can learn to play handball in the playground with crack addicts, prostitutes, and thugs. What better preparation for life in the fast lane than that?!
For a place with "no trains," Long Island City sure does have a lot of trains:
Oh, look at that! More trains!
Maybe LICC says there are no trains because he calls them by their official name: choo-choos.
There is exactly ONE nice street in Long Island City - the one that faces the water. All else is Hell. In fact, I think it was used for certain triage scenes in M*A*S*H, if I'm not mistaken.
Medieval enthusiasts - aka "Goths" - are fond of LIC b/c it gives them an opportunity to walk around rusting in their armored suits, where safety is the #1 concern.
Juicy - can we see that snap of the Juicelet playing in some of LIC's parks? You know, a "Family Moment"!
And actually, WB, I'm going to be sitting out on one of my TWO balconies in my Manhattan dumpy rental shortly, right after I finish an online test from Duke for some CE credits.
Views of the Hudson, Columbus Circle, the Manhattan skyline, all while still being in MANHATTAN.
Funny, I have been reading these comments on LIC for a while. I moved to LIC about a year ago and it is funny how some people continue to comment on it and most have clearly not been here for a while. I can understand if some people relate it back to their less fortunate roots and want to keep it in their past, but many of these links are completely ill informed. For starters, the above link of murray playground, which along with the other 6 parks in an 8 block radius, has been recently overhauled (anyone who has actually lived here for the past year would realize that the google maps link is completely outdated - new link below of the same place):
And that is not LIC's premier park but rather on the outskirts and one of many new parks in the area - funny enough, even that one is better than most in the city now.
and that the previous link that states "desolate area" broke ground about 3 months ago to what will soon become a 10 acre extension of the waterfront park and new school:
anyhow, while people sit back and continue to talk about LIC (who supposedly have not interest in it), others are forming lives and families here and it is actually surprising how it is, in fact, quickly becoming one of the most desirable areas in the city for young families.
Bravo MK241 in defence of this lovely part of Queens and the brave brave folks that are calling it home.
I have visited LIC recently and have seen some of the things you've pointed out. I'll probably enjoy them even more on my next visit. Any tips on how I can stop the face shield on my hazmat suit from fogging up?
And all of those funds that the article talk about are for projects that are actually underway:
Queens plaza overhaul:
Jackson avenue improvement project:
That old municipal garage that I have heard a few people mention that has actually been torn down for over a year and is now an almost finished building that will house the NY DOH (moving from Manhattan:
And the desolate area that has just broken ground on phase 1 to become the below waterfront park:
and an actual picture of the lot that you posted from google images (now updated and broken ground) - if you want to speak with knowledge then please don't use 2 year old google maps images as reference for an area that is changing by the day:
The real change is that places are now opening and people are actually coming from other parts of the city to enjoy them (ate here just today and people were taking cabs and getting off the subway from Manhattan to try (45 minute wait). It's actually sad in a way now that it is becoming discovered because now we have to share it with the rest of the city:
G-d knows it was ripe for a little urban development.
Still sucks, though, even with the Duane Reade.
steve, the streeteasy clown who is consistently embarrassed by all the people here who point out his ridiculous mistakes, and a couple of others who point to two-year old Google maps to somehow claim they know what LIC is like, actually think there are some people who take them seriously.
Google maps?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Good point. Don't make assumptions. For a while I even thought w81st was a man.
In LICC's bizarro world, real evidence is laughable: Google Maps is wrong because it doesn't have a picture of that new Duane Reade! And all the desolate streets in Long Island City have miraculously turned into luxury high-rises beaming with happy yuppie families.
Even though the evidence is quite the opposite.
The interesting thing is why steve is so obsessed with Long Island City. If he wants to sit in his dumpy little rental on 8th Avenue and 52nd and be happy, good for him. But it is weird that he is so bothered by all the young, fun, professional and creative people that are happy with LIC's new buildings, new restaurants, cafes and shops (not to mention the great old-time restaurants that have been in the area), beautiful waterfront, parks and piers, great mix of neighbors, great views, quick commutes, PS1 Museum and other arts and theater activities, community activities, etc.
Beside being foolishly wrong on just about everything he posts (the year of reporting your bonus for tax purposes being the latest of a multitude of his incorrect assertions), he just seems like an insecure, bitter old man.
You have a weird definition of "objective POV". Uninformed POV would be more like it.
All I did was post an article about LIC. Then the ignorant haters came out, who don't even know anything about the area, to insult it.
My 2 cents: I find LICComment to be pretty boorish at times and a bit disingenuous about the quality of life in his neighborhood, but LIC is (hopefully obviously) not nearly as bad as steve and alan portray it. But the neighborhood bashing bs is so tired - the amount of time steve has spent finding links, cutting and pasting, and generally talking about LIC demands a compromised social life at this point. Not to mention it's pretty annoying after a while. JuiceMan is spot on.
Well said BJW. I don't think that you have to worry. Anyone who has read more than one post on this site knows that a few people spend 98% of their social life on this site and are probably not the kind of people that any normal human being would consult for any advice (maybe with the exception of the functions of this website).
And Wbottom, to say that any point of view that you or Steve (or a few others) provide is "objective" is just as ridiculous as saying that LICC is completely objective. A balanced POV comes from a well informed balanced point of view ... not an absurd argument to the other extreme. It just means that no one takes either of you seriously ... which is funny considering that you seem to spend half of your lives trying to convince people of things on this site.
Try hanging out with some real people rather than spending half of your lives trying to get LICC's goat on a virtual cyber space. But who knows, different things make different people happy.
Alanhart...I never thought those letters to Penthouse were true until...
'I picture a big, brassy upper middle-aged woman. Woman, not lady, not girl, not broad, not gal, woman. As in "woman's sizes". With clown-dyed hair in a "hairdo". With big gaudy gold-tone jewelry on a big gaudy novelty-colored dress suit or pants suit or the like. And vaudeville makeup to match, of course. Lives in a scared-white-woman neighborhood like Yorkville or one of those beige areas on the eastern side of midtown.'

Red Faction: Armageddon Review
Bringing Down The House
by Betheo
©2011 Beth Sasagi
I love explosions.
I really do!
Games where you can demolish buildings and foes alike in fiery displays of power and destruction are games that I always have and will more than likely continue to enjoy.
That is precisely why when gifted with the review of Red Faction: Armageddon, I was thrilled and decidedly ecstatic about the concept of blowing up buildings, terrain and enemies all at the same time.
Is it a worthy successor to Guerrilla, or the same game with a new coat of paint?
Let's go blow things up shall we ….

'NHL Revealed' takes the league's TV strategy to the next level
NEW YORK -- The NHL often appears stodgy and stuck in the past, at least from a fan's perspective. In New York on Monday, John Collins proved that there's more than a few modern thinkers in their offices when answering a question about a DVD boxed set potential for their new series they'd just announced, NHL Revealed.
He smiled and said, confidently, "More in terms of a digital product than a box set. Because, well... it's kind of a dead market." The league was hinting that director's cuts of Revealed would be left to the NHL's website rather than included on a DVD set, which have become more and more irrelevant in the Netflix era. It may not seem like much, but that statement really stuck with me more than anything that Collins, execs from NBC, CBC and Ross Greenburg productions conveyed on Monday.

Escape from Planet Earth | Movie review
An animated kid flick is mostly harmless.
Published: February 19, 2013
The late Douglas Adams summed up Earth as "mostly harmless," a description that also applies to this eminently tolerable animated time-filler. Brawny Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser), hero of the planet Baab, responds to a distress call from Earth. Trapped by Area 51 overlord Shanker (William Shatner), Scorch learns to respect his nerdy rescuing brother (Rob Corddry) and stop calling him a "computer-lovin' mama's boy." Alongside jokes about product placement and actual plugs for 7-Eleven (kids will want a Slurpee afterward), lessons about teamwork are rendered in passable CGI.

Product 798/1128
Shadowed by Cari Z. erotic paranormal gay romance novella (about 21000 words) Cover Art by Winterheart Design
After a rocky start to their relationship, Daniel Hart and Rhys Daveth are looking forward to putting the past behind them and spending a private, romantic Christmas holiday together in Venice. Trouble follows their trail, however, and after only a few days together Rhys is drugged and kidnapped by agents of an espionage program that he fled from years ago. Daniel barely escapes being taken as well, and afterwards is found by another party interested in Rhys: his friends and coworkers, fellow thieves who tracked him down once they realized he was being hunted.
Time is flying and the thieves are having no success finding Rhys, despite their magical and technological expertise. In order to save his lover's life, Daniel will have to trust a new magic that exists between him and Rhys, a connection he doesn't understand and has never mentioned to anyone else. Daniel doesn't know what he's dealing with or what the consequences might be, but if he doesn't use his strange new ability to find Rhys, the man he loves may be lost forever. Excerpt Reese Daveth could charm the scales off a snake. It was kind of disturbing to watch, actually.
I knew Reese was charming; I'd experienced the full weight his sparkling personality firsthand. When that much wicked charisma was suddenly leveled at you it could be hard to remember your own name, much less take the time to wonder who this gorgeous man actually was and how he had talked you into a date, or out of a speeding ticket, or in this case, into letting your only son spend his winter break traveling abroad with his significant other instead of spending it with his mother. Which was how my mom thought I should be spending it, obviously.
Mom and I lived a few hours apart, so it wasn't really convenient for me to visit her as often as she thought I should. When the winter holidays rolled around she insisted, point blank, that I give her two weeks of my time, seeing as how she had given me nine months of undivided attention followed by eighteen years of loving care. I'd never understood why my mom insisted on bringing up her pregnancy every time we argued, but she wielded it like a verbal rapier. "I carried you for nine months, the least you can do for me is x." Parry, riposte, point.
Usually I didn't mind visiting my mom, even if it meant spending two weeks basically just watching television and eating bland food. I'd inherited all of my mother's skill in the kitchen, which was precisely none, so together we made do on boxed mac and cheese and microwave dinners. This holiday, however, I had already made other plans. My…my what, boyfriend? Paramour? Shapeshifting doppelganger/unrepentant thief/occasional incredibly hot hookup? Reese was all of those things and I hoped a few others, and he had asked me to go to Venice with him over my winter break—his treat. I still wasn't entirely sure why, but I wanted to go with him anyway.
Mom was understandably skeptical. I'd never even mentioned Reese to her, and all of a sudden I was going to Europe with him. This set off a scolding of epic proportions, finishing with an insistence that if I was going to abandon her during the holidays, the least I could do was introduce her to my oh-so-convenient man of mystery. I think she was half convinced that I'd made him up just to get out of coming to see her. Surprisingly, Reese had no problem with paying her a visit.
"I figured as much, Danny," he told me over the phone. I didn't have a number that worked consistently for Reese, but he called me about once a week. "She's closer to New Orleans, right?"
"Then we'll just fly out of there afterwards. Gotta keep the mum happy, otherwise life will be hell."
"It sounds like you've met her."
Reese laughed. It was a low, warm chuckle that sent a thrill of heat through me even though I'd heard it dozens of times. "I know the type, pet. Don't worry. I'll work it out so that she's begging me to take you away."

Muslim Musical Instruments Transmitted to Europe
This short article is taken from the full article which is available here as a PDF file Language evidence from the names of a wide list of instruments clearly establish their Arabic-Muslim origins. Names such as lute, rebec, guitar and naker are all derived from the Arabic Al-'ud, rabab, qitara and naqqara (table 1). Other names shawm and dulcayna were also derived from Arabic zamr and Al-zurna . Not only these instruments were themselves adopted and used but they also played a fundamental role in the evolution of European music as other "European" instruments were derived from them (table 2). The Al 'ud (Lute) for example was used extensively in Europe before it was transformed into other musical instruments including the guitar and mandolin. The Spanish and Portuguese gaita and the English waygh and bagpipes all derived from the Arabic ghaita. The Qanun inspired the old English and Irish harps (ninth century) and derived the Austrian (German) Zither. The string musical instruments known under the Fiddle were derived from the Persian Kamancha and the Arab Rabab . European brass wind instruments like the horn and trumpet were all derived from Al-zurna. Some suggested that it was influenced by the Byzantine horn, which was brought to Europe in the tenth century; Byzantium was itself instrumentally influenced by the Muslims . The Persian Santur (dulcimer), which consists of a wooden box containing between 12 and 18 cords and two mobile rows of bridges, that the interpreter executes striking the cords to both sides of the bridges with light hammers of wood, led to the rise of the keyboard based instruments including the pantaleon (1697) and piano (18th century). How did the Muslim instruments reach European hands? The answer to this question does not require a great deal of guessing. The visiting traders, scholars and pilgrims could easily buy such artefacts and take them home. There is also evidence that at the time of Ibn Rushd (d.1198) there was an industry, which manufactured musical instruments some of which were exported, most probably to non Muslims, via Muslim, controlled Europe . The touring singers, musicians and poetry tellers, who usually were accompanied by their instruments, visited Christian towns and villages especially in northern Spain, southern France and Italy. The Rabab, and other folk instruments, for example often used to accompany poetry recitals. Farmer acknowledged this significant role as he declared:
"Besides instruments, yet a great deal more that the instruments themselves was borrowed. The roving Arab minstrel was the chief means whereby these oriental instruments became known, and he passed on at the same time a new type of music. He may, indeed, have been the originator of the wandering minstrel class that spread all over Europe".
The influence of Muslim music and poetry on the spread of medieval jongleurs in Spain and south France is well documented .

A while back I learned about yuba, or tofu skin. If you've never heard of it, it's basically the film that coagulates on the top of a boiled pan of soymilk.
Hungry yet?
But here's the thing… this stuff is really good, but in kind of a strange way.
You see, I finally tried it, and it turns out that I love this stuff. I can imagine doing so much with it. Yuba is my friend!
With that said, I can see how it might be an acquired… um, texture to get used to. Pre-fried it looks a lot like a deflated balloon. It also has sort of a funny smell when you cook it the first time through (hey, just being honest). But, other than that…it's great! It has a peculiar chewy and crispy texture when pan fried. It can also be used in a variety of other ways: as a dumpling wrap, vegan sausage casing, or just eatin' fresh with some simple seasoning. Just like tofu, it soaks up any and every flavor you let it. And if you buy the dried, frozen or fresh varieties, it is super easy to prepare. Like, easier than tofu. For serious!
Now are you more interested? I hope so.
