American Psychiatric Association
For psychiatry to be successfully integrated into the general hospital, the psychiatrist must function within the medical model, and his mode of practice must be consistent with general-hospital caretaking. The author discusses the positive effects of consultative and liaison psychiatry linkages in the general-hospital setting as well as the problems of financing; there are inequities of reimbursement for consultation and a lack of payment for liaison services. He makes several suggestions about the education of the psychiatrist; it should not be geared exclusively toward the psychiatrist's role as a primary caretaker. Medical schools should introduce students to the discipline of psychiatry and its interrelationships with other disciplines. Teaching hospitals should train the psychiatrist in the medical model. The author feels that the future of general psychiatry does not lie in primary care per se but in its being an identified specialty closely allied to super-specialists and to primary caretakers alike.

This course will explore the process of economic and business development with its tribal, federal and state laws, cases, policies and practices in the area of natural resources, leasing, rights-of-way, taxation, gaming, and other business ventures. The role of individual Indian allottees will also be explored, and Tribal, federal and state jurisdiction and enforcement issues.

ST. CHARLES, Mo. — If Sunday's championship game of the Missouri Valley Conference women's basketball tournament is anything like Saturday's semifinals, the fans at The Family Arena are in for a treat.
For the first time, both semifinals went to overtime with top-seeded Wichita State and No. 3 seed Illinois State advancing.

In response to the letter "Do we really want to go back before Roe vs. Wade?" (Jan. 26), it is true that no one likes the idea of abortion. It has been 41 years since the Supreme Court's decision to make abortion legal. In those 40 years there has been vast improvements in birth control […]

A week ago Tuesday, the 41st annual March for Life took place in Washington, DC. (January 22nd is the anniversary date of Roe vs. Wade, which legalized abortion in the US.) The March garnered more attention this year from the media, having been covered on both CNN and Fox News, among others. Still, the media […]

I can't believe it! You've done it again. This is at least the second time that you have printed a picture of the march with "keep abortion legal" signs in the forefront. Why can't you just print a picture of the many Right to Life marchers? I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only person […]

What could have possibly compelled The Enquirer to post a picture of the Right to Life march in Washington, D.C., that showed a few abortion rights protesters in the forefront and pro-life marchers in the background? The "Keep Abortion Legal" sign was in full view and dominated the picture, while only a few abortion rights […]

Two point of reflection about the 2012 March for Life in Washington D.C.: First, I am certain it was just human error when the AP reported in The Enquirer "thousands of abortion opponents marched to the Supreme Court on Monday to mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v.

Golf equipment company honors wounded war veterans
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
I, like many of you, get loads of e-mails every day. Some are junk mail, while others are jokes or cute stories from well-meaning family and friends. I get press releases from different entities about all sorts of events. Occasionally, I even get something that really makes me stop what I'm doing and take notice. One such e-mail arrived this week.
This is what was in the subject line and caught my eye immediately: We think this is something that all golfers should be aware of. I think all Americans should be aware of this also.
This isn't a joke or cartoon; just something interesting to know…you may want to forward this on to others.
On Monday, I played the Disney, Lake Buena Vista course. As usual, the starters matched me with three other players. After a few holes, we began to get to know each other a bit. One fellow was rather young and had his wife riding along in the golf cart with him. I noticed that his golf bag had his name on it and after closer inspection, it also said "wounded war veterans." When I had my first chance to chat with him, I asked him about the bag. His response was simply that it was a gift. I then asked if he was wounded, and he said yes. When I asked more about his injury, his response was "I'd rather not talk about it, sir."
Over a few holes, I learned that he had spent the last 15 months in an Army rehabilitation hospital in San Antonio, Texas. His wife moved there to be with him, and he was released from the hospital in September. He was a rather quiet fellow; however, he did say that he wanted to get good at golf. We had a nice round, and as we became a bit more familiar, I asked him about the a brand-new set of PING woods and irons he was playing. Some looked like they had never been hit. His response was simple. He said that this round was the first full round he had played with these clubs.
Later in the round, he told me the following. As part of the discharge process from the rehabilitation hospital, PING comes in and provides three days of golf instruction, followed by club fitting. Upon discharge from the hospital, PING gives each of the discharged veterans, generally about 40 soldiers, a brand-new set of custom-fitted clubs along with the impressive golf bags.
The fellow I met was named Ben Woods, and he looked me in the eye and said that being fitted for those clubs was one of the best things that ever happened to him, and he was determined to learn to play golf well enough to deserve the gift PING had given him. Ben is now out of the service, medically discharged just a month ago. He is as fine a young man as you would ever want to meet.
PING has the good judgment not to advertise this program. God Bless America and the game of golf.
The person who sent me this said he verified it with Snopes.com and truthorfiction.com.
When I bought the current set of PING golf clubs that I have, I thought I paid entirely too much for them. Now that I've read this story, I realize they are worth every penny and, in fact, I got a helluva bargain!

For a late-summer month or so, Bradford watermelons were showing up seemingly everywhere in Charleston. And now the heirloom melon has shown up in Slow Food's Ark of Taste catalog, a global list of "delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction."
"The Bradford watermelon is a plant with a beautiful flavor and a beautiful history, and I am thrilled to see it included on the Ark of Taste," says Megan Larmer, manager of biodiversity programs for Slow Food USA. "Foods like this watermelon are at risk of disappearing because they don't fit into the factory farming system."
More than 200 U.S. foods have been added to the Ark, including Ossabaw Island hogs, Carolina Gold rice; American chestnuts and traditional cane syrup. Anyone can nominate an item to the Ark, but only foods deemed endangered, good, clean and fair (meaning it's not a trademarked or commercial product) are allowed aboard.
The Bradford, championed mightily by food historian David Shields, was first bred in the 1840s by Nathaniel Bradford. It was one of the region's reigning end-of-season market melons until the early 1900s, when farmers shifted their focus from flavor to hardiness: Their interest in disease-resistant melons which were easy to transport led to the last commercial crop of Bradfords being planted in 1922.
But Bradford's descendants continued to grow the melon: His great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson, Nat Bradford, in 2012 told Shields about the family's inheritance. "I met him, reviewed his photographs against the classic description of the melon's characteristics, and concluded he had the real deal," Shields recalled in a Slow Food USA blog post.
Fans of the elongated Bradford describe it as an extraordinarily sweet melon with a tender rind. Following the lead of 18th century cooks, Charleston chefs this year pickled it; boiled it down for molasses and turned it into jellied candy.
Slow Food this week approved the Bradford's entry into the Ark.
"The dedication of the Bradford family in preserving this watermelon is remarkable," Larmer says.

Pest Of The Week: The Brown Recluse Spider The Brown Recluse spider is also known as a Violin spider because of the violin markings found on it's back. Because of its extremely venomous and deadly bite, the Brown Recluse is one of worst spider pests. These bites are extremely dangerous. There have been reports of lost appendages and even death because of these painful bites. Spider control efforts must be taken to keep these spiders out of your basements, attics, and garages. While the Brown recluse is dangerous, it's a rather shy spider that will only bite when it feels threatened. Bites occur when a hand is placed unknowingly… Read More

Useful Conveyancing Tips For First Time Home Customers
First time home buyers often have mixed emotions running inside them. On the one hand there is happiness associated with the buying of a new property. on the other hand, there are the big challenges that could look like a mountain for these first time buyers. So, in this article, we will try and find out some important tools and strategies that could help first time buyers to navigate the various problems associated with such buying. Though this may not be applicable to one and all, as a general rule they have been found to be very useful for a majority of customers.
Apart from arranging for mortgage loan for buying the property, property conveyancing melbourne is also something that needs to be understood by customers. This is very important job and there cannot be any slip ups as far the various processes of conveyancing are concerned. Understanding the finer elements of conveyancing is very important so that they are not taken for a ride by some unscrupulous service providers.
For many customers conveyancing is a term that has been totally misunderstood. There are quite a few questions that keep lingering in the minds of people. Put in plain and simple work, property conveyancing is all about enabling smooth transfer of ownership form the seller to the buyer. However, there are many steps in the interim that have to be completed. These include checking on the legal aspects of the property and also ensuring that all the documentation processes are properly completed. There is also the need for going through a process called property valuation. This is about identifying the fair market value of the property and also finding out more about the various other benefits or shortcomings that the property might possess.
There is also the need to understand that property conveyancing has time bound ramifications and therefore the entire process has to be completed in time. This again calls for coordination of different professionals because conveyancing is the sum total effort of many professionals including real estate lawyers and attorneys, real estate valuers and documentation specialists. The role of administrative staff is also very important and often they are considered as unsung heroes. Hence as first time buyers before hiring the right property settlement professionals it is very important to understand what exactly are their roles. This will help them to zero in on the right professionals who can take care of the entire matter end to end rather than doing it in piecemeal basis.
Tips On How To Select The Right Property Settlement Company
There is no denying the fact that while buying a property is a great event for all of us there are also some issues and challenges that could come up along the way. It is therefore extremely important for us to keep these things in mind before getting into the act of purchasing a real estate property. There is no doubt that you may have to spend thousands or even millions of dollars in such purchases and therefore you will have to exercise utmost care and caution at each and every stage. Once a formal decision has been made by you to buy the property you will have to put in place a number of things. You will have to arrange for the mortgage loans from banks and financial institutions.
The next important and crucial step is the process that will eventually lead to the property being transferred to your name as a buyer. This is what is referred to as property conveyancing or property settlement. This is a highly complicated and difficult subject matter and it is unlikely that you will have much knowledge about it though you may have come across the term. Property conveyancing is all about going through the various processes that are laid down as per law to enable you to get the property transferred in your name. Since there are also some time frames by which the whole process has to be completed you have no other choice but to depend on professionals for getting the job done.
There are many professionals whose roles are important as far as property conveyancing is concerned. They start with the role of property lawyers and attorneys. Their main role is to check on the legal status of the property and scrutinize the various property and legal documents. The next important task is that of documentation specialists. Their main function is to draft the various agreements and contracts and get them signed by the stakeholders and have them registered and executed with the relevant authorities. Valuation of the property is also another important aspect of property settlement. It is all about ensuring that the buyer is getting into the transaction by paying the fair market value for the property in question. Since many professionals are involved, you should look only for those who are experienced, reputed and are able to offer the entire gamut of functions under one roof. While cost is an important factor, more important is quality and timely delivery of services.
Simple Tips To Choose The Right Property Settlement Professionals
If you are into property settlement you will realize that making it big in this field is not as easy as it might seem from the outside. Though there is a regular flow of requirements for property settlements, the number of service providers has also increased quite dramatically over the past many years. Further there are quite a few other changes that are happening in the market place which are also impacting the property settlement business in many ways. For example, even before a decade ago the entire property settlement business was done only through references and other modes of advertisements. Today, a big chunk of business is being done with the help of the internet and other channels. Hence, there is a steady but sure change in the way customers look for property settlement professionals.
However, as a customer you should still continue to have the right information and knowledge when it comes to choosing these professionals. Though you might be internet savvy and informed, as far as property settlement processes are concerned you may still be a novice. Hence, as a starting point before going in for these professionals, it is very important for you to know more about these professionals and what to expect from them.
First and foremost, you must be clearly aware that property settlement is a complex and difficult process and it is highly improbable that you will be able to do it as a customer on your own. You have to take professional helps because of the various formalities and steps involved. Since each and every process and step has a legal aspect attached to it making mistakes or delaying the process might prove costly. Having understood this important point, the next option is to find out the right service provider.
As is the case with all other services, experience forms a very important part as far as real estate settlement is concerned. You must therefore try and recruit only those professionals who have put in at least 12 to 15 years service in this field. Certification, qualification and expertise in the various areas pertaining to property settlement are other attributes that you must keep in mind while recruiting these professionals. You must as a customer, insist on these service providers to make use of the internet technology to good effect when it comes to going through the entire process. A lot of communication has to be exchanged back and forth and it is always advisable to use the email for this purpose.
Technology Can Redefine Your Conveyancing Business
There is no doubt that running a successful conveyancing business is not as easy and as simple as it was a few decades ago. There are quite a few changes that have taken place especially in the past few years. On the one hand the events that shook the financial markets in 2008 are still fresh in the minds of many business people including conveyancers. On the other hand the other market dynamics have also change quite drastically over the past few years. Hence, trying to run a conveyancing business using the old methods and models may meet only with limited success. Therefore the need of the hour is to remodel the entire conveyancing business keeping in mind the changes that are happening on the ground. Towards a better and more profitable conveyancing business, the importance of technology is something that cannot be ignored. Let us over the next few lines try and find out how modern day technology can help in moving conveyancing business from one level of success to another.
Amongst the various technologies that have literally changed the way business is done, the internet and the computers are perhaps the most noteworthy. The internet in particular is playing a big role in helping customers bring products and services to their living rooms. Given the time constraints that most customers are in, there is little doubt that online buying and selling of products and services is becoming the most important thing. Hence, if you are a conveyancer who would like to look at business from a long term perspective, you cannot afford to ignore the importance of technology. You have to take steps to be very actively present on the internet. To cite an example, because of lack of time, customers would be happy to deal with conveyancers who offer online facilities. This will not only save them time but convenience is also something that will attract many customers. Hence, online conveyancing will certainly become a necessity tomorrow though today it might be another option.
Further, as conveyancers, you should also understand the importance of automating the back end operations in your office. This will also help a lot in bringing in efficiency and avoid wasteful use of human resources. It is also important because when you plan to integrate your front end with the back end, it will not be possible unless the back end is fully automated. Hence, investing in technology is crucial to take on competition in the days to come.
How To Use Technology For Greater Success In Conveyancing Business
Why do only a small percentage of real estate property conveyancers reach high levels of success while a majority fail? This is a common question that comes to the mind of many of us. The answers could be quite a few but one thing is common about successful real estate conveyancers. They are persistent and consistent in their efforts to reach higher levels or success. They are willing to play the waiting game and are not interested in short term gains and success. They are ready to consider failures as a stepping stone for success while others could have quit the scene and left. There businesses are built on sound principles, objectives and a total focus towards 100% customer satisfaction at all points in time. While these are some general attributes that contribute to success of property conveyancers, let us have a look at some specific reasons for their success.
Successful conveyancers are those who offer end-to-end solutions to their customers instead of offering only piecemeal solutions. They would never like a customer to walk out of their doors just because a particular service is not available. Further it would be pertinent to point out that professional and quality conveyancers have their own team of professionals rather than depending on outsourcing talents. This certainly goes a long way in ensuring better quality control. Timely submission of reports and returns is also another important point that is the attribute of a good conveyancer.
Intelligent and smart use of technology is without any doubt that plays a big role in successful conveyancers. Today's customers are becoming increasing tech savvy and are using the internet to look for information. Hence, ambitious and informed conveyancers will not hesitate to invest in the internet technology. They will be starting off with a website that is well designed, fully informative and interesting. It will feature articles that are relevant to the real estate industry in general and real estate conveyancing in particular. Last but not the least, forward looking conveyancers will be ready to offer online conveyancing facilities. This will certainly be a big value addition to customers which can have a paradigm shift in the way conveyancing business is done. Hence, any conveyancer who wishes to move higher should understand the power and reach of the internet.
What Are The Attributes Of A Quality Conveyancing Professional
There is no doubt that buying and selling a real estate property is quite complicated and complex when compared to buying and selling of other movable or immovable assets. While the process involved in the latter is quite simple, when it comes to buying or selling a real estate property, there are a number of legal, statutory and compliance related issues that need to be tackled. Hence, it is important to choose the right conveyancer who could meet specific needs and requirements. This is a difficult task given the fact that today there are scores of conveyancers many of who are individuals operating their businesses out of their homes. So, here are a few important points that should be kept in mind while looking for a real estate conveyancer. Keeping these points in mind will certainly go a long way in choosing the right professionals.
To begin with a how to find conveyancers Sydney is one who is able to offer all the services in a single platform. As a customer one should understand that conveyancing is not a single step process. There are a number of steps that have to be gone through. Many of these steps require professionals who are specially trained for the purpose. Hence, it may not be possible for a single professional to handle the entire job on his or her own. For example, while a real estate lawyer or attorney would be able to take care of the legal aspects of property buying and selling, when it comes to establishing the fair market value of the property in question then this has to be done only by a certified and qualified real estate property valuer.
Further, it is also important to look for conveyancers who have the right experience in handling even the most complicated job. They should have the right professional to take care of the entire conveyancing task end to end. It would be not advisable for conveyancers to outsource a part of their whole activity because it might not be possible to have a strict control on the quality and also on timelines. Last but not the least a good and modern conveyancing company should be able to offer online conveyancing given the changing customer preferences and habits.

Dr. Johnson on the Church at Sardis:
"Now this church, then, is what we would call a perfect model of inoffensive Christianity which had come to terms completely with the pagan environment in which it stood. You know, we ought to stop and ask ourselves a question right at that point. Is Believers Chapel an example of inoffensive Christianity? Is it an example of a group of people who profess the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ but nevertheless have come to terms with the pagan environment around us? And make no mistake about it; the environment around us is a pagan environment. We mean by that, that it is a non-Christian environment, and if it's a non-Christian environment, it's a pagan environment. Have we come to terms with it?
Do we realize that we are a people who are separate from it? We are in this world, but we are not of this world, let us remember that, always remember that. We are not of this world, though we are in this world. So, our Lord is the one who has the seven spirits and also the seven stars, and this is the solution to the problems of the church in Sardis if they respond to the word of God. It's a solution for us to, to recognize that our Lord is the one who posses in his power the plenitude of the Holy Spirit and he is able to make, even us, effective witnesses of our Lord Jesus Christ."

I normally use monthly contacts, but after trying Splash, I will be using them more often. After taking into account the cost of contact and solution you have to use with monthly contacts, vs. the comfort of daily disposables, it's worth it to use Splash daily disposables. Very comfortable and doesn't dry out my eyes even after wearing for over sixteen hours. I know your not supposed to but my days are always long.

I wore dailies every day working construction, 10+ hr days. Focus were the best but I tried these once because they are so cheap. Big mistake. They are thick & beefy and dried out within no time. My eyes were really irritated even just after putting them in.I was using drops all day long and they would only help momentarily. Plus, once the lenses started to dry up, it was really easy to accidentally blink one out. Try fishing that out of a pile of sawdust. Thumbs down.Try Focus instead--they are okay.

Easy to put and aspheric!
By Mur
from Toronto (Ontario)
As most comments here, it is very evident the lenses blue in the eye. It's easy to put. I was using the Biomedics 55. I feel that Splash is a bit easier to put in, but it is a more rigid than Biomedics (I don't know if that is important or not...).
Not as comfortable as Acuvue Oasys
By Natster
from Ontario
I decided to try these contacts due to positive reviews, but I find that they dry my eyes out, and cause redness. Also not very comfortable. I definitely prefer my Acuvue Oasys lenses.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
No complaints

Occasional usage for exercise or movies requiring 3d glasses. Using for 2 years. Only brand I have tried but no complaints.

Worst experience ever
By Disappointed
from Fort mcmurray Alberta
I go through more than 2 a day trying to find ones that do not cause a glaze in my vision or irritates my eyes. I went to the eye doctor thinking it was an issue with my eyes and he told me they were a low grade of contact and that's why I'm having issues.
Great price, service and product
By Cin
from Stony Plain
I use them daily and sometimes for a couple of days ( putting them in solution overnight)They have been the best contacts that I've used.
Inconsistent product
By Nicky Picky
from Montreal, Quebec
I'm not sure if they change the formulation of this product frequently or not but I've had mixed experience with them. Most days they are comfortable and fine. But on a few occasions, I've put them in and my eyes have turned red and started burning. Never experienced that with this product before the latest order renewal so don't know if it's a one-off or not.
Terrible Quality!
By halepis
from Montreal
These contacts dry out quickly and become really uncomfortable to wear. I would not purchase these again, and will be sending back the boxes I did purchase - don't do it!

About Me Carpenter
I do not like these at all.....
By Rob
These are comfortable for maybe only the first hour then they really start drying out! I am constantly putting in eye drops. At work one day, I had one bunch up in my eye because it was so dry. I tried to see if I could put it back in after putting some solution on it and I couldn't, it was all deformed! On a good note, they are easy to put in the first time!

text: These were taken in response to Salvador Dali's 'Lobster Telephone'. My favourite is the one which looks like it has been taken through a pin-hole camera. What I actually did was take it through one of the holes of a cassette tape to look like the camera was spying on the radio. I took the photos in my loft, because it created a dark atmosphere. The final photo was taken on a slow shutter speed, and I zoomed in and out as the shutter was open. The photo looks out of control and manic. I decided to use a radio and tape because it's another communication device. I wanted to respond to the sexual connotations of Dali's work so I experimented by wrapping some tape around the radio.

some personal views for Catholic readers
Why is it that people did not look into this when they were voting for the homosexuals who seem to have been over-represented in the debate? People have become lazy in their abilities to read and discern what their ministers really say. Cameron lied, but not all did. Some ministers have wanted this for a long time.

It was great to be back at the annual Choctaw nation labor day weekend festivities. We were honored to discover that we were the first Christian band that they've ever invited back for an encore performance. It took a while to get the OK from Lexington. So, we had a long day on the tour bus. I was feeling a bit restless. But, went for a jog when we arrived on site. The venue is a very low trim, intimate covered grandstand where they feature Native American talent throughout the day. This was the first show we worked in a cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic, "Call Me the Breeze."Tai

What's the etiquette on commenting on a colleague's post? →
A piece by FJP contributor, Dave Burdick, in which he raises some interesting questions (inspired by an exchange on Daily Camera) about commenting etiquette:
- Do or should colleagues hold themselves to a different standard than the everyman commenter?
- Is there a place for publicly commenting on a colleague's style?
- Is there a place for publicly commenting on a colleague's accuracy?
- Does it serve journalists better to be asked these questions publicly?
- Does it serve news consumers better?
Read Dave's piece, and then read the comments below it. There, another interesting question (among many) is raised by Ian Howell:
Another question to ask…is why a news website doesn't curate their own comments section. It may be a human resources issue, as Laura referenced above, but the absence of an obvious "policy of community standards" on the website makes me wonder if any thought has been given to it?
He then points to the NY Times comments policy, which moderates comments.
Thanks for opening the discussion, Dave!

And I mean that title with the utmost of respect.
I've been a denizen of this fair[ly crappy] city my entire life, in one way or another. I spent some time in LA during college, but don't worry, I got over it. The one thing, though, that I've consistently heard from around the US is that New York is a rude city.
This is, I feel, based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what this place is.
Hey tourists!

"The New York of our imaginations has to end sooner than that — maybe it collapses under the weight of our own preconceptions, or maybe pinning so much responsibility on a city serves to mask the way the passage of time can alter us: when we arrive we are willing and eager to fold ourselves into different shapes, to make ourselves fit, but as we grow older, acts of contortion become more difficult, or at the very least, less desirable."
Farewell to the Enchanted City by Elizabeth Minkel

187 Notes
Summer crowds are the essence of Coney Island. From early monrning, when the first throngs pour from the Stillwell Avenue subway terminal, humanity flows over Coney seeking relief from the heat of the city. Italians, Jews, Greeks, Poles, Germans, Negroes, Irish, people of every nationality; boys and girls, feeble ancients, mothers with squirming children, fathers with bundles, push and collide as they rush, laughing, scolding, sweating, for a spot on the sand. … From the boardwalk the whole beach may be viewed: bathers splash and shout in the turgid waters close to the shore; on the sand, children dig, young men engage in gymnastics and roughhouse each other, or toss balls over the backs of couples lying amorously intertwined. Luncheon combines the difficulties of a picnic with those of a subway rush hour; families sit in wriggling circles consuming food and drinking from thermos bottles brought in suitcases together with bathing suits, spare clothing, and water wings. …
After sunset the Island becomes the playground of a mixed crowd of sightseers and strollers. … [The] shouts of competing barkers become more strident, the crowds more compact. Enormous paintings in primitive colors advertise the freak shows, shooting galleries, and waxworks "Chamber of Horrors." Riders are whirled, jolted, battered, tossed upside down by the Cyclone, the Thunderbolt, the Mile Sky Chaser, the Loop-o-Plane, the Whip, the Flying Turns, the Dodgem Speedway, the Chute-the-Chutes, and the Comet. Above the cacophony of spielers, cries, and the shrieks and laughter, carrousel organs pound out last year's tunes, and roller coasters slam down their terrific inclines. …
About midnight, the weary crowds begin to depart, leaving a litter of cigarette butts, torn newspapers, orange and banana peel, old shoes and hats, pop bottles and soiled cardboard boxes, and an occasional corset. A few couples remain behind, with here and there a solitary drunk, or a sleepless old man pacing the boardwalk. The last concessionaire counts his receipts and puts up his shutters, and only the amiable roar of the forgotten sea is heard.

Welcome to CATCALLED, a collection of women's stories about street harassment in New York City. For two weeks this August, eleven women in the city kept a log of their harassment experiences, and how the presence (or absence) of catcallers affected their actions. Their experiences may surprise you—they certainly surprised each other, and at times, even the participants themselves.
Street harassment is a tricky issue. Its interpretation is almost entirely subjective, and the experience of it can range from violated and frustrated to annoyed. Harassment itself is hard to define, as well. What's the difference between harassment, a catcall, flirtation, and a compliment? At the same time, it's difficult to argue that sexual harassment is anything but an unfair burden placed on women in urban spaces, and one that can be incessant and invasive.
Part of the story of this project has been discovering that most women have found a way to deal with harassment on a regular basis. Even if an individual woman may feel that the status quo is acceptable, she is usually able to point to precautions she takes to feel safe as a woman. Even if an individual woman feels flattered by catcalling, she can probably point to a situation in which she felt extremely vulnerable due to catcalling—probably as a young teenager. We believe that all women, in some way or another, have to grapple with objectification and safety in public spaces, whether that space is Central Park or Times Square.
CATCALLED is an attempt to give that struggle a voice. Over on the right you can see 11 different badges, one for each of our 11 participants. The women who wrote for this project live in four different boroughs and have a range of sexualities, ethnic backgrounds, and life experiences. There is no one place to start reading, no one person to focus on. Each participant has an introduction from me, giving you a sense of what you might get out of reading those entries; each woman has additionally highlighted her own entries, to reflect what she has found most valuable. After the project was over, all 11 participants responded to someone else's logs for their exit interview, beginning a conversation about different experiences that we hope you continue. You can add to the dialogue by clicking respond. In addition to publishing questions, comments, and ideas on our blog, we will also be featuring readers' daily logs—a single-day entry about street harassment. And of course, if you would like to contact us more directly, you can find out how to do that here.
We hope you get something out of this—men and women, in the city and out of it. We have learned a lot from beginning this dialogue, and we can't wait to see how you respond.
Rad. Check this out.

Speaking of amateur superheroes, The New York Times describes the man in this video, referred to as "Snackman," as such: "He was cool incarnate. No weapons. No visible bloodshed. Not even a loud word. A newcomer to the city, munching on chips, and a poker face for the ages." Real name? Charles Sonder. Real snacks? Pringles and Gummi-Bears.

Underground New York Public Library is an awesome new Tumblr featuring photos of people reading while they wait for the subway. The arresting photos speak for themselves.
Long train commutes make New York one of the most literary cities in the U.S. And because New York as one of the fashion capitals of the world, you have all the ingredients you need for one very stylish documentary project.

Today's flashback friday has some things old, some things new, some things borrowed AND some things blue (and other colors too). We're not talking about weddings here - though we're sure you'll find a few items that will suit… NYPL and FIT have launched a new website, Andre Studios Digitization Project, allowing one and all to browse our archives of Andre Studios from 1931 - 1940. There are 18 images of snoods alone and don't even get us started on yokes!
But don't take our word for it, check out what the fashionable folks at the New York Times had to say!

Looking For: Classic (Yet Easy to Maintain) Cloth Napkins
This past year my husband and I switched to using cloth napkins almost exclusively. We use them for everything but the most informal backyard barbecue, and I must say it's very nice to have the feel and look of fabric on the table. But (here's the catch) they can be a real pain to maintain!
Right now we primarily use these informal cotton napkins, made from IKEA's TEKLA towels. A friend cut and hemmed them for us, and I love their bistro look. But they aren't the highest quality fabric, and they stain easily. And let's not even start on the wrinkles! If I am motivated I get them out of the dryer fast and smooth them flat, or, if there's serious company coming, I actually iron them.
So, I'm curious. I'm looking for a slightly more high-end set of crisp white napkins. But I want some that will be easier to launder and keep looking fresh and crisp. Any suggestions? Any napkins you particularly like?
The ones pictured above, by the way, are from Crate & Barrel.
• Find them: Classic White Napkin, $2.95 at Crate & Barrel

The Pottery Barn Classic Hotel Napkins are great. I think 6 of them cost me about $24 dollars. They are wonderful and thick and a true white cotton that can be bleached to remove stains. I entertain a lot and used to use linen napkins that required dry cleaning. Ugh. I love the cotton napkins. Also, they look great with either a casual or more formal place setting. I liked them so much I bought the smaller cocktail napkins too.
Another thing about the Pottery Barn napkins. I dry them on a medium setting and then fold them right away and they are crisp and don't require ironing.
I am thrilled with the ones at World Market. They have the weight of tea towels, so they aren't a pain to maintain, and they're soft and absorbent. Plus, about 2-3 bucks a piece!
I bought a few yards of high quality cotton at a fabric store and hemmed them into big napkins. They aren't white, so they don't show stains too quickly, and the fabric seems to resist wrinkles better than, say, my dish towels. And at $6 spent and an hour sewing to make a dozen napkins, they're a great deal!
I'm not sure if it's even possible to have high quality cotton napkins that won't require some ironing. A poly blend might resist wrinkles but they won't look or feel nearly as nice.
Ours are from Williams Sonoma and are high quality, thick cotton that have held up for 4 years so far. If I were going to buy another dozen, I might check a restaurant supply store.
I recently bought thse on etsy, and i love them. They aren't crisp, but i like them for everyday use. and they are easy to wash because they can be bleached. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vt_related_1&listing_id=33416015
I think a heavier-weight cotton would resist wrinkles better than a lighter weight.
You could also try line-drying them to avoid wrinkles. I take my cotton napkins out of the washer, shake them out, pull on the edges to smooth out the wrinkles, and hang them on a drying rack so that they are folded over halfway. Not sure if that makes sense...but I've found that if I take the time to hang them properly and carefully, then I don't need to iron. Actually, I think that a drying rack with solid bars (which is what I use) would be more effective than a line, which could sag, causing the napkins to wrinkle.
We have a set of cotton napkins from Macy's. They are too thick for my taste, but do the trick on an everyday basis. Line drying like k_mw suggests works well.
Linen napkins get washed on the delicate cycle in my front load machine, using Ivory Snow. I found dry cleaning chemicals too smelly & way too expensive. I tested one of my antique napkins & haven't looked back. They get shaken out & line dried. They require ironing, but for a nicer dinner party, they look beautiful on the table.
To truly avoid stains, get a wild woven or printed pattern. They look nice on a table set with plain dishes & hide any stains- even bbq stains! I have a set from Pier One that initially weren't my taste, but I've grown to love them. They wash & dry easily & I haven't broken out the iron for them once.
Line drying is definitely the way to go. For all washing in fact - the only things I iron are my business shirts, everything else the crinkles just drop out of (and line dried stuff feels *so* much nicer than machine dried).
Question though Faith - where are those napkin rings from? I saw a similar one here in Melbourne, heavy & silver, but only one style - I'd love a mixed set like the ones in the picture...
I think they're just Crate & Barrel rings; the photo is from C&B, so if you click through you might be able to track them down there...
I've bought sheets and made them into napkins.
This can be very economical if you find sheets you like at a thrift store. The ones we use are colored, so the stains don't show. I also think they aren't 100% cotton, so they look nice without ironing.
That's what I first thought, but unfortunately couldn't find them on the website - a few other fairly nice designs, but no snowflakes, boo :-(
I second the vote for printed cloth napkins. I have 5 or 6 sets acquired from assorted locations. The batik set from World Market is the best at hiding stains. Another cheap and easy option is bandanas. They have them at the craft stores for under a buck apiece. Great for informal settings.
I have the CB ones, and they work great.
I like the the microfiber napkins I got at Target. They're off white, but all the better for hiding stains. Not that they get stains because they rarely hold stains to begin with. It's kind of amazing. They have a silky feel though, not crisp, if you're partial to that. But that being said, you don't really have to iron them either. Can't remember how much I paid for them, but it's Target so how expensive could they be?
I have a bunch from a variety of sources... Crate and Barrel's are good, but also, Pier 1 is worth checking out. We use them for everything, INCLUDING backyard BBQs...I just roll up a set of utensils in each (like they do at chain restaurants...I'd NEVER do it for a dinner party) and put them next to the side dishes so people can bring them out to the yard. I have about 30 melamine plates from Target for those events. I think the key to reusable ANYTHING is quantity. We have lots of napkins, lots of reusable shopping bags, etc.
Oh, forgot to say...the ONLY napkins I iron are the WS Hotel ones I use for holidays. The others are all heavy textured cotton and resist wrinkling quite well..maybe a little at the edges, but not enough to bother me. So I would say look for heavy fabric and texture, not a plain weave.
I have a huge drawerful of colored cotton napkins. If I take them out of the dryer and fold them while warm, I don't have any troubles with wrinkling. They are pretty old now and quite soft from wear.
For fancy dinners, I do have to iron my white vintage damask napkins (great estate sale finds), but they are worth the effort. If those get stained, I just soak them overnight with Biz and they come out snowy white.
I'm on board w/marthachick - our family has been using cotton napkins from World Market for a few years now & we love them. Someone purchased some poly-blend napkins for us (WalMart, I believe) and they're nowhere near as nice (or absorbent, obviously). Go full-on cotton. Ours are well made and we never need to iron.
foodiegreenie: They must be an older set, found them on ebay. I agree, having a nice mix of designs is hard to find. I wish companies offered variety more often!
frzndaqiri: cheers, I'll have a look there!
This is also one of the easiest things in the world to sew, if you're into that or as a beginner project if learning. Then you can have some fun looking around for some cute fabrics with the feel you prefer. I even have turned an old beloved print shirt that got a tear in it into a couple of napkins.

Overland SUMMER CAMPS FOR 4TH - 12TH GRADERS Family Login
As a senior at Williams in 1982 I thought it might be fun to bike across the country. Problem was, I'd never been on a bike trip (and I didn't own a bike). Undaunted, I talked a friend into joining me, we bought bikes, and I read a book about bike touring. All set.
Some 3,000 miles later we reached the Pacific—success, pure and simple. But the trip was much more than that: it was the most fun I had ever had, I made a great friend, I was challenged in all kinds of ways, and, at the end, I had a singular accomplishment—one that has stayed with me to this day.
When I started Overland in 1984, I sought to create experiences for kids that mirrored my cross country bike trip: experiences that were, first and foremost, fun, where new friendships could grow, where there were real and varied challenges, and where, at the end, our students would have achieved something of importance to them.
As we head toward our 30th summer, I invite you to join us—for fun, friends, challenge and accomplishment—for a summer that might just be as important to you as the summer of 1982 was
for me.
Please join us!

Right now, with no advance notice, and for reasons we're not going to bother explaining, you must get rid of one album from your record collection. Which title gets the chop?
Richard Jankovich: Well, I have a lot of records in my collection and most of them are completely inessential, so how about T.a.T.u., my official guilty pleasure?
You wake up one morning and discover that you've grown two feet taller overnight. How does it affect your life?
Richard Jankovich: I no longer have to climb for coconuts, which, believe me, would save a lot of time.
What three things must a town or city have in order for you to be able to live happily there?
Richard Jankovich: Syrup, syrup, syrup.
What's more important: good music or good food? And why?
Richard Jankovich: Without a doubt, both fail when compared to Good Times, the influential television program from our youth.
Would you rather be anal probed by aliens or have a root canal without anaesthetics? Explain your choice.
Richard Jankovich: Root canal. I am not a fan of things in my bottom, regardless of the context of such an endeavor.
Why does the wheel in the sky keep on turning?
Richard Jankovich: Steve Perry wished it so.
You've just been elected to the US senate (if you're not a US citizen, please either pretend you are or move forward on the assumption that you've taken a similar government-type position in your own country). What's on your agenda legislation-wise?
Richard Jankovich: First and foremost, I would retire. Politics is not for everyone.
If the moon were made of cheese, what kind of cheese would it be made of? Please explain your reasoning.
Richard Jankovich: Most likely, it would be made of hair metal glam rock from the 1980s and I think the reasoning is pretty self explanatory.
You've just won a contest in which the prize is your "dream car". What make and model of car do you choose? (And no, you can't just take the money.)
Richard Jankovich: I would choose a Fiat cuz Italian cars are the shiznit, baby.
You can go back in time and kill one person without disrupting the space/time continuum, creating a paradox and causing the universe to collapse upon itself. Who would it be?
Richard Jankovich: The real answer would be, I guess, the person who inflicted the most damage on the world as we know it. That would be the guy who wrote and/or directed Howard the Duck. Our world has never been the same since that cinematic milestone changed the course of history.
As an experiment, you spend an entire day with a stick of butter duct-taped to your forehead. What do you learn?
Richard Jankovich: Duct tape does not hold butter to your forehead. Seriously, trust me on this one.
What's the best way to spend a rainy day?
Richard Jankovich: Watering the lawn.
What is the coolest animal to watch a nature show about?
Richard Jankovich: Cats.
What do you do now, as a result of widespread internet access, that you didn't do ten years ago?
Richard Jankovich: Watch Homestarrunner.
Who did you last give flowers and why?
Richard Jankovich: My wife, because she pointed to them and said "Buy those... No, no, those over there. (sigh) Here...let me do it!"
The thong: instrument of social change or harbinger of dark times?
Richard Jankovich: The only reliable and true combatant in the war to conceal panty lines.
The police have just nailed you for some kind of minor infraction. What were you most likely to have been doing?
Richard Jankovich: Driving drunk whilst twirling a revolver in both hands with 15 dead bodies chopped in pieces in the trunk. That's as minor as they get for me, baby.
Would you shop at a supermarket run by ninjas? Why or why not?
Richard Jankovich: Absolutely. Ninjas have just as much a right to be patronized by myself as do the guerilla stormtroopers who just opened the deli on my corner.
What article (or articles) of clothing do you wish you never had to wear again? Why?
Richard Jankovich: I wish I never had to wear diapers again.
Taking into account all current political, social and economic situations, which country would you most like to be and why?
Richard Jankovich: THE U S OF A, BABY! LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT! Either that or France or England or anywhere in Europe, really. America is okay, but... Europe seems more exciting, and they certainly have the market cornered on European music and other European stuff.
Tell us about your weirdest experience with a fan.
Richard Jankovich: After a recent performance, a group of patrons bought some copies of our record. That was pretty messed up.
When was the last time you had an entire day to yourself, and what did you do with it?
Richard Jankovich: I went rollerblading in a park and got a concussion. Thanks for asking...jerk.
Ever written a letter to the editor? What publication, and on what subject?
Richard Jankovich: I once wrote a letter to the Wisconsin State Journal extolling the values of the import/export business when I was 13. My parents were very proud. I was a bit confused.
What's the stupidest thing you've ever done while drunk? If you're a non-drinker, please limit your self-righteous response to 25 words.
Richard Jankovich: (sigh).
What's your favorite thing to do when you can't sleep?
Richard Jankovich: Punch myself in the abdomen until I vomit -- that makes me very sleepy.
What are your fellow band members' most irritating habits? If you have no fellow band members, what are your own most irritating habits?
Richard Jankovich: Paul (keyboardist for Burnside Project) has this irritating habit of self flagellating during the most inopportune times. On stage, during practice. I turn around for one second and he is beating himself into submission. What the hell, right? Gerald (guitarist For Burnside Project) -- really, there is not enough space to go into the kind of detail I would like but, suffice it to say, damn near everything he does.
You're making a guest appearance as yourself in the TV show of your choice. What's the show, and how do you fit into the plot?
Richard Jankovich: 6 Feet Under and I guess I'd be the dead guy.
In three sentences or less, please give your opinion on the current state of the world.
Richard Jankovich: Howard the Duck realized.
A national guardsman from Ohio recently changed his name to Optimus Prime, after the Transformer. If you could change your name to anything, what would you change it to?
Richard Jankovich: Megatron, because I hate that guy from Ohio.
We're considering lobbying the government to pass a law banning the use of certain overplayed words -- for example, "new", "flaming" and "electric" -- in band names. What other words should be banned?
Richard Jankovich: Definitely "Burnside" and "Project".
Would you rather tour the world for a year, living out of hotels and minibuses, playing to sellout crowds but estranged from all meaningful interpersonal contact, or be crowned the next indie god(s) but be damned to a lifetime of college radio airplay, widespread obscurity and eventual golden years filled with soundtrack work?
Richard Jankovich: Yes.
What's the most un-rock and roll hobby or interest you have?
Richard Jankovich: Watching my cats.
What's the stupidest thing a reviewer ever said about you or your band?
Richard Jankovich: Read the entire Pitchfork review.
Some of us have side gigs bartending. Help us out by making up a drink that we can name after you and sell to underaged girls in midriff tee-shirts.
Richard Jankovich: The Burnside Richard: Two parts soy milk, one part Kahlua and one part whiskey.
Which is a better reason for an R rating -- pointless, arbitrary violence or over-the-top kinky sex that has nothing to do with the story?
Richard Jankovich: What can I say, I like big butts and I can not lie. You other brothers can't deny.
Which would be worse -- going three rounds with Mike Tyson, or having sex with Anna Nicole Smith?
Richard Jankovich: See previous answer.
What's in your fridge right now?
Richard Jankovich: Tofutti products...
What advice would you give to Michael Jackson?
Richard Jankovich: Seriously, give me back my $20, man. That's just pathetic.
The networks, the circuits, the streams, the harmonies is the Burnside Project�s recording debut as a flesh-and-blood band, and it couldn�t have come at a better time. Now that '80s-influenced dance music has become the cutting-edge sound of the moment, Richard Jankovich and fellow multi-instrumentalist Gerald Hammill, who are joined on stage by keyboardist Paul Searing, have reshaped some of those vintage beats for their own disquieting purposes. "Cut and pasted and recut and refucked with" is how one critic put it. But they�ve ditched the overarching irony, the tongue-in-cheek/deadpan-chic attitude of the "electro" scene for a collection of midnight confessions from a dark corner of the dance floor. The Burnside album is almost cinematic in scope, or at least indie-cinematic, evoking the kind of skittering drum-n-bass rhythms that jacked up the tension in Darren Aronofsky�s Pi.
