New housing group formed
City funding will support the coalition for affordability.
The job of maintaining affordable housing on Bainbridge Island may have found the steady hand it needs.
The Bainbridge City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved the formation of a new Community Housing Coalition, an advocacy organization dedicated to on-going analysis, research and education to provide housing for low and middle-income residents.
Under the umbrella of the long-standing Health, Housing and Human Services Council, the coalition will draw over $70,000 in city contingency funds for 2005 to begin the process of hiring a professional staff and formalizing the organizations structure.
We dont want to let economic trends throttle and choke out the diversity we have, said Bruce Weiland, a member of the citys Affordable Housing Task Force, which spearheaded the coalitions formation with HHHS.
Weiland and other coalition supporters told the council that many residents are being priced off the island by rising home values and rental rates.
Almost 24 percent of the islands population makes $35,000 or less a year, according to statistics cited by the Housing Resources Board. With the average home price nearing $500,000, many residents are faced with tough housing choices.
Advocates of the coalition, including the HRB, Helpline House and the Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority, praised the coalitions focus on both lower and middle-class housing needs.
Teachers, clerks, grocery store workers should be able to rent or own a home on the island, said Carmella Houston of HHHS.
Councilman Bill Knobloch said the coalitions work will be the last chance to preserve affordable housing on the island before costs go to the moon.
Some councilors said they will keep an eye on the new organization and its five-digit budget.
While I fully support this, my expectations are extremely high, Councilman Bob Scales said. We cant just keep throwing money at this.
HHHS and other housing advocates will work through March finalizing the coalitions structure, selecting committee members and hiring a director who will earn $50,000 a year.

Spider monkeys are endangered mainly due to habitat loss and hunting. Their slow reproductive rate also makes them vulnerable, as a female spider monkey only has one baby every two to four years.
Know MoreSpider monkey habitat loss occurs due to logging of forests as well as clearing for land use such as slash-and-burn agriculture, cattle ranching and commercial farming for crops such as coffee, cocoa and soy. Timber plantations replace indigenous forests. Mining of bauxite, clay, granite and sand causes deforestation, erosion and the pollution of fresh water supplies. Illegal palm harvesting decimates entire stands of palm trees. Highways, farmlands and urban areas interrupt habitats, and because they prefer old growth and avoid disturbed areas, spider monkeys do not respond well to habitat fragmentation. In some areas, spider monkeys are hunted for sport and for food. They are also captured for pet trafficking.
As of 2014, efforts to protect spider monkeys include research about the size and status of current populations, the effectiveness of protected areas and the extent of poaching. A number of national parks, state parks and environmental protection areas are established in South American countries such as Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. However, in some areas, the presence of political insurgents and the military as well as the lack of park rangers makes enforcement problematic.
Learn more about MonkeysSpider monkeys are omnivores that typically feed on fruits, leaves, nuts and spiders. Some also eat honey, bird eggs or bark. They spend the majority of their time in the tops of trees, and this is where they acquire their food. The lead female of a group of spider monkeys is typically in charge of finding food sources and leading the others in the group toward them.
Full Answer >In its natural environment, the spider monkey can live up to 25 years. In captivity, spider monkeys have been known to live for as long as 40 years.
Full Answer >As of January 2015, there are about 2,000 Yucatan spider monkeys left in the wild on the Yucatan Peninsula. There are only an estimated 300 to 400 woolly spider monkeys left in the world.
Full Answer >Spider monkeys live in the upper canopy of the tropical rain forests in Central and South America. They live in the trees of regions with tropical climates and can sometimes be found in Mexico.

The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes jumped in October to the highest level in a year. But the gain follows three months of declines and isn't enough to signal a housing recovery.
The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday its index of sales agreements rose 10.4 percent last month to a reading of 93.3.
A reading of 100 is considered healthy. The last time it was that high was in April 2010, one month before a federal home-buying tax credit expired.
Contract signings usually indicate where the housing market is headed. There's typically a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed deal.
But a growing number of buyers have canceled contracts after appraisals showed the homes were worth less than the bid. A sale isn't final until a mortgage is closed.
Even with the gains, contracts to buy homes are roughly at the same level as they were before the tax credit expired, said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc.
"In absolute terms, this is a very depressed level," he said.
Homes are the most affordable they've been in decades. Long-term mortgage rates are hovering near historic lows and prices in some metro areas have tumbled.
Yet, this year could be the worst year for sales since the housing bubble burst. Sales of previously occupied homes could end up being the fewest since 1997. And sales of new homes are headed for the worst year on records dating to 1963.
Americans are holding off for a number of reasons. High unemployment and weak job growth have deterred many would-be buyers. Loans are also harder to come by. Many lenders are requiring 20 percent down payments and strong credit scores to qualify. Even those who have good credit and stable jobs are hesitant to buy because they are worried prices will keep falling.
The number of people who signed home contracts had risen in both May and June before falling 7 percent over the past three months.
Contract signings rose across most of the country. October's index increased 24.1 percent in the Midwest, 17.7 percent in the Northeast and 8.6 percent in the South. It fell 0.3 percent in the West.

Danielle de Niese A Diva for the Digital Age
by Gil Carbajal
Diva Diaries, a BBC documentary about soprano Danielle De Niese, highlights in its seven episodes not only this sopranos beauty, charm, and glamour but also many of the elements that have gone into making what has often been a precocious career. The documentary (available on YouTube) and an article written by de Niese herself in the Huffington Post last December are evidence of her multimedia acumen. Her aim is to communicate, and she does so by all the means at hand. The documentary captures some of the finer moments of her soaring career, including her Met debut in 1998 as Barbarina in Le nozze di Figaro as well as her widely acclaimed interpretation of Cleopatra in a production of Giulio Cesare at Glyndebourne in 2005, in which she was described as an all-singing and all-dancing Cleopatra. It also shows glimpses into other aspects of De Nieses career and character. She is uncompromisingly enthusiastic about her career. She is a fashion maven. She dexterously employs a range of social networks such as MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter to communicate with friends and fans. And she takes every opportunity to share her passion for opera with children and adolescentsso much so that one fan called her an Opera Evangelist. Looking over her early experience and achievements, one can understand the poise, confidence, charm, and charisma de Niese exudes in both public and private. And its no wonder that in the little more than 12 years since joining the Mets Lindemann Young Artist Development Program as the youngest singer ever admitted, she has now firmly established her reputation in the opera world, particularly in the Baroque repertoire. While in Madrid last spring performing the lead role of Monteverdis Lincoronazione di Poppea, de Niese took time to chat with CS about the beginnings of her career, her efforts at outreach, and some of the challenging gigs she has taken on. I am always curious to know about the childhood origins of a singers vocation. How important was music in your family when growing up? Very important. I grew up with music. My mom took voice lessons, though she never wanted to be a professional classical singer, . . . because she loved to sing classical voice. She also studied piano. And my dads parents sang. So there was definitely a lot of classical music in the family. My mom would teach me songs and she noticed when I was one to two years old that I was picking them up very, very quickly and singing on perfect pitch. Did you begin singing before you began talking? A little bit! I mean, I definitely was showing signs of being able to grasp and absorb things. At that time, around 1980-81, when I was a small baby, [my parents] recorded lots of things. They have cassettes of me singing when Im that small. They enrolled me in a talent school where I took singing and dancing, and they had talent shows. I was five-and-a-half to six years old. When I enrolled in some of these courses, we were told by the teachers that . . . I couldnt be in the Christmas Concert because I hadnt been there since January. And my parents were very relaxed and said, Thats fine. She just wants to do it for fun and she can be in the concert next year. Then, of course, December rolls along, and the teachers said, Were putting her in the concert. Shes picked up all the routines, and were giving her the lead now. Shes standing in front. My life has sort of gone in that kind of way. They say actors are bitten by the acting bug. I was just bitten by the singing bug, the performing bug. So you loved the Christmas Pageant? A lot! I couldnt wait to get out there! And I think Ive always been like that. I really have loved that feeling of connecting with people and that feeling of performing, and I like it. And as a kid I liked it. As a child you do something well and people praise you, and you enjoy it and you only want to do more. So I did singing. I did jazz, ballet, tap dance, drama. And from age six or seven to 10 in Australia I was going to Tony Bartuccios school of dance every Saturday doing all these lessons, and then doing voice lessons and drama lessons. It was my favorite day of the week. I would just jump out of bed in the morning on Saturday to go to these classes. I totally loved it. When I was around eight, there were these competitions called Eisteddfod (a Welsh word). These exist in Wales still. Theyre basically like small singing competitions for young kids in categoriesyoud have sacred solo for nine and under, etc. And youd have all these little kids singing. They awarded a first, second, and third place. It was a performing opportunity; it was a way to sing what I was learning in my voice lessons. I started classical voice at eight-and-a-halfa feat in and of itself because my parents had to find a teacher who would take me on. They did find a lovely lady, Amanda Colliver, who was singing with the State Opera at the time. But it was great to have a chance then to perform in the Eisteddfod. My parents would drive me on the weekend to different cities all around the southern part of Australia. And it just so happened that I was winning all of themlike, every one I competed in I came in first place. So, OK, it starts out that youre under nine and then under 10, and then under 13, under 15and the judges have to get up and explain why theyve chosen a nine-year-old over a 15-year-old. I was completely doing it for the fun of it. I wanted to learn. I wanted to absorb. And in these competitions you get the comments from judges who critique you, and my parents have them all. I looked at them when I last went home because I had forgotten about them. And it was quite remarkable for someone nine years old. I won all these competitions and they were great, positive reinforcement for me. I never went to winI went to perform. And this is really where it all started, because it was in those moments that I thought, I want to be an opera singer. This is what I want. I knew it then. Was your need for more performance education the factor that led your family to move to the U.S.? My parents saw that there was training available therewhole schools that were just to train young kids in the classical world. This probably exists in Australia now, but at that time, I had done just about everything that I could possibly do as a 10-year-old. I won every Eisteddfod. I won a national competition. Id done musical theatre. Id done voice-overs. Id done commercials. Id done everything. All I had left was to enter into the Victorian College of the Arts, which is the big music conservatory there. But they wouldnt take a 10-year-old! So the Colburn School in Los Angeles was the perfect place for me because it was all for that kind of age and that kind of talent. Tell us about your transition from high school to studying in New York. Well, I missed my high school graduation because I was singing on Broadway in Les Misérables. I actually chose to miss my graduation for that great opportunity. Thats how I got to Mannes College of Music, actually, because while in New York for that Broadway stint, my mom organized (through a little bit of sleuthing) a half-hour audition with Ruth Falcon, a very prominent New York voice teacher, thinking that maybe after my bachelors degree at UCLA I could go to New York and do a masters degree. When I sang for Ruth, she said, Oh my gosh. You have to come and study with me now! I said, Ive got to go to UCLA and do the opera program there. No, no, no! she said. You cant do that. You cant go to UCLA. Daaa! She just turned everything around for me! She organized an audition at Mannes for the next day, and I just went with it without really thinking about what was happening. I thought, This is a great opportunity. I sang Lieder and Claire de lune by Fauré and a couple of arias from Julius Caesar. They were bowled over and gave me a full scholarship almost instantaneously to come to Mannes. Suddenly my whole life turned around, and that began a domino effect. Within a year after arriving in New York at age 19, you were performing at the Met with Cecilia Bartoli and Renée Fleming. How was that? And with James Levine conducting, Christmas broadcast, simulcast PBS broadcastit was crazy! It wouldnt have happened in the same way even if I had gone to another New York college, because one of the things about Mannes was that theyre small. So you get the personal attention. I had considered going to Juilliard, but they said to me and my parents, Freshmen dont get any performing opportunities. They wont get any lead roles. You have to be in pool for a while. So there might have been fewer opportunities for me to perform if I had gone to a school with a bigger program. That was the key. You mentioned something about a domino effect in your career. I meant in the sense of one thing leading to another. You know, if I hadnt gotten to Mannes College, the Met might not have heard me. After they heard me, I got into the Young Artist Program. There other people heard me, and then I got offered roles. It just went on like that. Did you work at all professionally after your Met debut in Figaro? Well, I wasnt working while I was in the program, but I was doing auditions. For example, I did an audition for Peter [de Caluwe from the Netherlands Opera] when I was in that first year in the program. One day I will ask what he saw in me at that age. He offered me Cleopatra in a new production of Julius Caesar in 2001. He just saw something in me, and I thought, Im going to go for it! Thats how I started with the whole Baroque thing really, with Julius Caesar. Before that you were studying everything in opera, all the repertoire. Did you have any favorites? Maybe Mozart. I was doing all my Lieder and all my recital repertoire, but I was singing Mozart while I was at the Met. After Barbarina, I sang Papagena, and Poussette in Manon. But doing that Cleopatra really got the ball rolling on the European side of things. I started getting loads of offers for Baroque stuff. It was great. It was really good for me. Who were your most important teachers? Ruth Falcon from my college years, and also I studied with different singers during the program. I switched teachers temporarily to Patricia McCaffrey who is another very excellent teacher. I studied with both Ruth and Trish while in the program. Then, as I came out, I went back to Ruthand now the other two big teachers in my life are Gerald Martin Moore and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. You started working with those teachers after your career had launched? Yeah. Gerald started to coach me for one of my albums. When I saw that he was totally brilliant, I wanted him to prepare me and coach me for stuff. Then I realized that he was a teacher as well, so thats when I really started with Gerald in 2008. I also studied with Dame Kiri for the first time that year. Shes an idol of mine since I was a child. In Australia, Kiri was like the big [thing] and she was from New Zealand, which is in the southern hemisphere. Kiri has a mixed background like me, so I felt like, ooh, thats my role model! She had won the Sun Aria Competition, which is the biggest competition you can win as an adult singer in Australia. My dream when I was a kid was that I wanted to be like Kiri and win the Sun Aria Competition and be a famous singer [laughs]. You use Twitter and Facebook pretty regularly. Yeah, I tweet. Funny little thing, tweeting, isnt it? I dont do it as much as I could, but I will do more. I have a MySpace page, a Facebook page, and my website. We need to use the modern media opportunities that we have because opera is so much more visible than it used to be. Now you can get everything on YouTube. The opening [of Lincoronazione di Poppea] was just taking place here in Madrid on Sunday and colleagues came to me and said, Do you know the dress rehearsal is already on YouTube? That kind of accessibility is something that is just part of this modern life. Having a website where people can leave you messages, having a MySpace page where people can become a friend is only just a way of connecting with your audience in a slightly more personal way. Especially for kids its a huge plus. Ive done outreach since I was a kid at the Colburn School, going out to intercity schools in L.A. where music budgets were basically vaporized and singing for them. It definitely has a lasting effect when youre a kid of their age. When I did it, I was 12 and they were [around] 13. So to see a 12-year-old comesomeone your age, a kid whos just like yougo up there and sing, and then do a question-and-answer session, it has a different level of acceptability than [with] an older person. Because I started young, I really understand what it is to fall in love with something at that age. So I try to talk to kids about that and tell them that youre never too young to start to dream about something. If you feel like youre going against the grain by going with classical music, look at me! I did that, and Im so happy and really get so much joy from performing. I just do my best to spread the love, especially with my website where I have all the tracks from my albums. Theyre there in their entirety for people to listen to because just to share that music with people is great, and I hope more people will listen to classical music. Have you been asked to give masterclasses? I have, yes. I did my first masterclass when I was 20 in the Young Artist Program. I did it in Omaha, Nebraska, at a college, so they were all older than me. That was really, really weird and cool at the same time. Its quite an odd thing to talk technique when you are still mastering yours. But great singers will say the same thing. Kiri would always say to me, Im just telling you what I know. I mean, Im not sure, but Im telling you what I know. Your debut in the role of Cleopatra was with the Netherlands Opera under the direction of Peter de Caluwe in 2001. But it was your performance in David McVicars song-and-dance production at Glyndebourne four years later that put you in the front ranks of the opera world. You were called in to substitute for an ailing Rosemary Joshua. How much notice did you get? A couple of months, a month and a half maybe. At least you knew the role. The novelty was that you had to dance as well. Yeah, I didnt know that really. I was a week late because I was finishing a performance in Chicago. I arrived and met David McVicar, and he was like, Oh, nice to meet you. OK, go on up there. And three minutes later, Andrew George the choreographer was saying, OK, so you go five, six, seven, eight and one and two and three and four, hand and feet. Thank heavens I had dance training! I was able to pick it up. They must have known that. No, they didnt know that. The beginning scene, which was already done, was not created for me. And thats why when everyone came to me and said, Tailor made! I thought, The devil! It was actually tailor made for someone else! They had carved out four hours for the first rehearsal, but in one hour we were done. And then, of course, everything that came after that in Cleopatra, all the other scenes were built from them knowing what I was capable of. Theres a YouTube video of your performance in that production and you put your cigarette out in an umbrella case. [Laughs] Thats a classic David McVicar thing. It was choreographed? Yeah, although I did the same performance in 2009, and on the premiere, before I started my routine, the umbrella broke in two. I realized I was holding an umbrella with my four fingers together and I thought, Which piece do I let go of? Ive got to let go of one now. Which one do I need more, the part that opens or the stick? I have one second to make this decision! So I threw away the part that opens and then for the next six minutes the sweat that was coming! I had to re-choreograph in my head. I was singing a phrase and thinking of the next phrase and what the movement was and whether I had the right piece of umbrella for that movement and, if not, what movement I would do instead. The gods cant present a worse situation for you in a time like that. And the funniest thing was that barely anyone noticed! I came off stage about to explode of adrenaline. People who knew the piece were like, Hey, what happened to your umbrella? But a lot of people said that it was wonderful. And I said, You didnt notice that I was missing half an umbrella? Those things happen. You have to be ready for anything in the theater. Another extraordinary performing experience was when you had to learn an aria for the Brit Awards in less than 24 hours. Well, I have to tell you about that day. I got the call about doing it 11:30 the night before. I was at home just relaxing, really. I was planning to go to the Brits as guest of my record company, sit there, eat duck and, you know, watch the awards from the Prom part where the tables are. Suddenly it was, Can you come and sing Les filles de Cadix? And I said, The filles de what? They said, Les filles de Cadix, the song by Delibes. Thats what the other soprano was going to sing. I said, Oh my! I offered to sing a song from my album. Tell them Ill sing Lascia chio pianga or something like that. And they said, You cant do that because they havent rehearsed it. I had to go to iTunes and listen to it. And then I said, Maybe. I dont know. I called my manager and I called my momnot in that orderand I said, What do I do? This is a big opportunity, and what if I dont remember the words? Its strophic. It has three verses. What if I screw this up? And both my mom and [my manager] Alec [Treuhaft] said, The point will probably be whether you can perform it and have a good time, whether you get up there and do it well. And I thought to myself, Yes, if the circumstances are working out, yeah, I can go out there and have a good time. And they said, Well thats your answer. I had rehearsal the next day for Poppea. So I did the rehearsal, and at noon a car came to pick me upand just before, a fax came through with the music. So I had from noon to 1:30 to learn the piece. I learned it in the car going up to London. And I always joke that theres a driver with WestOne Cars somewhere who knows Les filles de Cadix by heart because all I did was sing it over and over again, trying to learn it and remember all the words. Its not often that I shake, but when I went to the dress rehearsal there were like 17 people pulling at me saying, Can you do this? Can you do that? Go to your dressing room. Do you have your music? Can you go upstairs? Do you need water? Blah, blah, blah. I went to the rehearsal, and my hands were really shaking while Im holding a fax copy, not even an original. And my record company reps were there like they were sort of watching. I was so nervous! And I wasnt having a good time. Not the first time, anyway. And then I just let loose and I got a huge applause. And I said, Could I do it one more time? So they let me do it again. I let go a little bit more and I felt like Baby, Im going to have a good time tonight! Ultimately I went up there and I did have a good time. It all worked for the best and it was one of the bigger successes of the Brits that night. It was a good experience for learning what Im made of. You can see Danielle de Nieses performance of Les filles de Cadix at the Brit Awards on YouTube, as well as much of her performance dancing and singing in the Glyndebourne production of Giulio Cesare.

You thought you'd never hearA voice that cracked so clear
Thought you'd never see
A head that slept for three
Every dream that thrills you up
smells like poison in your cup
And every dream that thrills you up
Now smells like poison in your cup
A drink never meant so much
You can put it all down to luck
Sleeps the only friend
You can grab on 'til the end
The now the voice and touch that used to thrill you up
Tears your lip just like a chip in a cup
And the feel that made you forget the rest
Just makes you feel like second best again

Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
Yes..we are making progess.
For all those that were predicting 5 wins or more. That was a reach in my opinion. Rookie QB, Rookie LT and an Offensive Coordinator that is terrible = Continued offensive issues. Time and experience will help our offense the most, so I've prepared myself for another bad season from the won/loss perspective. 4 wins or less is what I'm expecting. On the flipside our defense is certainly playing better at least in the points allowed category. It's all coming together slowly but it is coming and that's what matters to me more than anything.

Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
The season is going just as I thought it would. Progress is slow in the making but we were way down in the talent pool. We will be 2-14 perhaps 3-13 this year but on the cusp of really turning around soon.
I am not a Spags HC fan. I see much better HC talent out there that new ownership hopefully will go after. Just like Martz, I think Spags has his place in a NFL Org, just not as a HC.

Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
We're definitely making progress but it'll be 2012 before we're in with a chance if winning the division, in my opinion.
Saffold is going to be top class, but the jury is still out on the rest of the offensive line. Bell and, to a lesser extent, Brown haven't lived up to their billing since coming in, while Goldberg is a good "sixth man" but shouldn't be starting. I know that you can get tarred and feathered in these here parts for suggesting that all isn't rosy but Jason Smith has been a massive disappointment thus far.
Fortunately, time is on his side and we also have plenty of potential at TE and at number two receiver. What we lack is a true threat in the WR corps and I can only hope that A.J. Green is still available when we draft next April.
The defensive line is doing well and we have lots of young talent there. More quality at LB wouldn't go amiss but the biggest difference maker on the defence would be a true shutdown corner. I'd gladly trade the rest of our draft for Patrick Peterson (assuming that we've already got Green) in the 2011 draft. Add these two players and we'd be nearly there.

Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
i would say the d has made pretty good progress, and offensively you could argue that progress is being made personnel-wise because i think bradford is the real deal. still, the play calling concerns me greatly and needs to be corrected, and overall this offense doesn't look like it's made much (if any) progress from last season.

Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
I believe we are making progress.
I like the talent on the O line, we have a potential star QB, a star RB, a couple solid WR's.
Offensively we lack a stand out #1 WR mainly.
Defensively we have a player on all 3 levels of the defense.
Obviously we were at ground level, so its still going to take awhile, to file the roster with depth in addition to core pieces we still lack.
-09-21-2010 #21
Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
I think we should get a good CB in FA next year and draft a WR or another RB.
-09-22-2010 #22
Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
As a whole I think this team is already much improved over last year. Still a lot of holes, but yes, the Rams are making progress. It may be slow and painful, but as long as they can get better each week I will be happy.
Sooner or later that WILL lead to wins.

Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
Same ol' Same old! Start from the Top. Stan should make his presence felt by asserting his values, assess what immediate changes that are glaringly needed and letting it be known of the expectations and goals, short and long term, that he requires of his new ballclub.
Stan just has to look at past Rams Owners for inspiration. Namely, probably one of the NFL's most respected owners in history, Carroll Rosenbloom (Chip and Lucia's Dad).
Carroll was the owner of the Baltimore Colts when they took on the mighty New York Football Giants, beating them in the 1958 NFL championship game, which everyone knows as the "Greatest game ever played", marking the beginning of the NFL becoming America's favorite past time. Rosenbloom is also noted for firing his Head Coach of that '58 championship team, Weeb Eubank (Also the winning coach of Super Bowl III of Joe Namath fame, he who would become a LA Ram) in place of a young Head Coach in Don Shula.
Carroll's Colts remained Champions or contenders throughout the late 1950's ,60's and early 70's. In 1972 he worked a deal (with the Irsays) to take over the Rams. Basically they swapped teams.
The same time the Colts were the elite of the NFL, during the 50's and 60's, the Rams were the 'Washington Generals" of the league.
When Mr.Rosenbloom took over the Rams he immediately put his stamp on the team.
In 1973, he did away with the bland blue and white uniforms to the more colorful blue and gold, which are still worn by the team today.
Also in '73, the Rams became creditable, no longer the Washington Generals of the NFL, The Rams went on to win 7 consecutive NFC western division titles.
Clearly Mr. Rosenbloom had a plan in place to make his Rams a force to be reckoned with, in only 7 short years of Carroll Rosenbloom's tenue the Rams were in the Super Bowl.
Unfortunately, Rosenbloom passed away before he could witness this historic Rams achievement. MAY GOD REST HIS SOUL.
Stan may want to even look to the Greatest Rams owner of all.....the former Mrs. Rosenbloom....the late Great....MADAM RAM herself....Georgia Frontiere! MAY SHE ETERNALLY REST IN PEACE
NO ONE!!! in this proud franchise has done more for the Rams or brought them as far to the ultimate prize.
Under her tenue she presided over 3 Rams Super Bowls, winning one.
She brought this franchise out of the doldrums of a unappreciative LA market to bringing football back to the Gateway city and within a few years, witnessing the UNthinkable...A SUPR BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP! "The Washington Gerenals" were now the GREATEST SHOW ON TURF!!....And Georgia was its QUEEN!....LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!
The question is for STAN! Will he follow in the footsteps of these Great Rams Pioneers, who made it their duty, no matter the stakes, to take the necessary actions, to see to it that the Rams were always a progressive high quality organization.
STAN! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THESE WASHINGTON GENERALS????Last edited by dgr828; -09-22-2010 at 05:07 AM.

Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
Here is my take:
Yes we are making progress. However if we do not win It really does not mean anything, because it shatters confidence. And that can lead to same old rams

Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
Whatever progress we make, it'll regress if there isn't football in 2011. I really hope they do something about that...

Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
Yes, even though it hasn't translated into wins. We are building the right way. It will take some time but we will all be happy it turned out the way it did in the long run. The defense hasn't given up like it used to and im confident to say that with an offense in the late "teens" even we would have won both games we have played fairly easily.
-09-23-2010 #28AugustaRamFan Guest
Re: Are the Rams Making Progress?
No real progress to report. No wins against much less than average opponents. Run D is giving up 140 plus yards a game. Still making mental mistakes that cost field position and games.
After two games - sorry to say - no progress.

We're now up to 31st in the power rankings.

I-94 West will be closed overnight on Friday, November 21st as crews set a long term closure of the left lane on I-94 westbound from 68th Street to 84th Street. The lane restriction will be in place until late 2015. Friday�s work will start at 11 PM and, when finished, will have the left lane of westbound I-94 closed until late 2015. This lane reduction is part of the reconstruction of the east leg of the Zoo Interchange. Back ups are expected and motorists are encouraged to consider alternate routes. Greenfield Avenue is the primary alternate route. Drivers will see in place a �Zipper Merge� that will be used to take the traffic from the left lane and merge with the center lane of traffic. The �Zipper Merge� system encourages the use of all lanes up to the closure. Drivers are then directed to take turns merging into the open lane. This system is designed to optimize travel through the closure area. Details on alternate routes and how to use the �Zipper Merge� are available on the zooic.org webpage. As always, motorists are reminded to plan ahead and allow for extra travel time during the reconstruction of the Zoo Interchange.

Another Big Time Bust at OT
"The Bills have replaced right tackle Mike Williams, the former fourth overall pick from University of Texas, with Jon Peters, an undrafted free agent Buffalo signed last year. Peters played tight end at Arkansas.
Williams has been moved to left guard. It is the first time he has played on the left side or at guard. He will split time with Bennie Anderson. Williams, who has been bothered by a sprained ankle, makes $7.3 million this season. He is the highest-paid player on the team. His cap figure in 2006 is $9.5 million. If he rejects a salary cut for the second year in a row, the Bills are expected to get rid of him. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/3457304 ************************************************** ** Mike Williams was taken 4th overall in the 2002 Draft behind only Carr, DE Peppers, & QB Harrington. That's an awfull high draft pick and a gob of cap money to use on a guy who was expected to be a star offensive tackle in the NFL but is now platooning at guard and very likely to be cut in the offseason. To add insult to injury, Williams lost his job to an undrafted FA. |

I'll admit that he was drafted pretty high and that a CB drafted that high should be one of the better CB's in the league, but I wouldn't consider him a total bust.

And Peters is the guy that caught a TD against us back in week 1. This guy is over 300 pounds and has better hands than Corey Bradford.

I've come to the conclusion that an expansion team should never use its 1st round pick in year 1 on a QB (see Kerry Collins, Tim Couch, and David Carr). It just isn't logical. The guy will get pounded to no end and be surrounded by subpar talent those first couple of years. It just isn't a recipe for success.
Instead, I think a team needs to spend that first round pick on the best available player preferably at OLT, RDE/ROLB (4-3/3-4) pass rusher, CB, or WR. Build a foundation and a situation for a young QB to flourish. Bring in a veteran QB, someone that has been a backup but has starter potential , to lead the team for the first 2 years. Then in year 3 (whether the guy is drafted year 2 or 3), throw the young lad out there and see what he's got. That is my take on it.

I liked the idea of having a good solid defense to build on and draft players to learn behind the veterans. I also like have the mindset to build an offensive line first then worry about the WR, TE's and RB after that solid foundation. Drafting a highly touted QB was not the problem. Instead of putting him into the fire and molding him, we put him into the fire to burn. One of my biggest pet peeves on Capers from the beginning was allowing Carr to be a starter from the start. I know there's no benefit one way or the other, but on an expansion team when you don't have all the pieces in place, I would think that you would be cautious about your franchise player. |

We should have rode Banks hard those first two season, wins/losses be damned. The first couple of years should have been a focus to build the parts of the team that take the longest but are easily the most important: linemen.

June 21 Tweetup In NYC - The Night Before Our CXP Forum
Posted by Jonathan Browne on May 27, 2009
[Posted by Jonathan Browne]
One of the great crimes of Twitter is the way Twitter users put "TW" at the start of perfectly good words and think it's cool, or ironic, or some combination of the two ...
My colleague: We're having a Tweetup before the Customer Experience Forum in NYC.
Me: Really? I thought that was frowned upon in New York. Haven't you seen The French Connection?
My colleague: Eh? Don't be so obtuse. I said "Tweet Up". It's like "Meet Up" for people who use Twitter and created an entire lingo of words with "TW" at the start, like "Tweeple" for "People" and that sort of thing.
Me: Ah yeah. I once met someone who spoke like that "T'what do I owe the pleasure?" and "T'whom am I speaking?" It struck me as very odd.
My colleague: No. That's not what I mean at all. Anyway, we're having this gathering and people will be able to meet Forrester analysts and bloggers and other people who are interested in Customer Experience and we'll have a drink and chat about anything that interests us, really.
Me: Oh. Sort of like a cocktail party?
My colleague: Um. I guess.... Would you let people know about it through the Customer Experience blog?
Me: Sure. What are the details?
My colleague: On June 21, the night before Forrester's Customer Experience Forum, Forrester will host a New York Tweetup at The Roger Smith Hotel at 501 Lexington Ave., New York, NY.
Tweetups are casual social events where Twitterers can network and meet the people they tweet with. Anyone can attend; it is an informal atmosphere that allows casual conversations.
This Tweetup is for anyone who's attending the Forum or lives in NYC or the area. We will also be giving away a 1-day pass to Forrester's Customer Experience Forum 2009.
There is no charge for attending the Tweetup, so come meet and mingle with @forrester, @hmanning, @coreymathews, @akarlin, @dfrankland, @jsymons, and many others.
Me: OK. I'll be sure to mention it.
My colleague: You're sure you understand what this is about?
Me: Sure, sure. I can talk Twaddle with the best of them.
re: June 21 Tweetup In NYC - The Night Before Our CXP Forum
See youtherWe will have USAA EVP Wayne Peacok with us. Chris he's speaking the following morning.
re: June 21 Tweetup In NYC - The Night Before Our CXP Forum

Lacey! :) I took some pictures of Lacey for you all today! :) It gets harder and harder to find things to take pictures of when I see her everyday, not sure why, but when I only saw her every few days I was a picture taking fiend! :lol: Pictures starting....now! A few days ago, when it was sunny: http://i41.tinypic.com/15ph2fb.jpg "Oh hello! I shall help you eat your camera. Yay!!" http://i44.tinypic.com/2mruzyp.jpg Today: Her tail needed washing and she was highly nonplussed about leaving her buddies. So I got a lot of these faces. hahaha http://i40.tinypic.com/or2poh.jpg "Seriously, you're gonna go stand back there instead of taking me home? For shame." http://i42.tinypic.com/ff0ni8.jpg And then, her quarterly confo/condition picture (I try to take one every season so I can keep tabs on her condition better). Take that people who think a nearly 27 year old horse can't be chubby! hahaha Btw, her neck isn't that cresty, her mane was roached and it's currently growing out for the winter so it looks really ghetto currently. http://i43.tinypic.com/214a361.jpg And then, just for funsies, a picture of Miss Lacey from our first year (nearly 4 years ago, when she was 23) together. I feel like she's aging backwards or something... http://i42.tinypic.com/2i8zo1.jpg Thanks for looking! :) |
Haha cute!! (: |
Very nice mare She does look younger now then when you first got her :P she looks great wouldnt have guess she was passed 20! |

There just weren't that many 10 story buildings. I think it was either the Metropolitan Building, which is now Northbank Center as I recall, or the Old Brewery on 15th St., but I can't imagine that was 10 stories. The Union paper, The Flint Weekly Review, was published in that Old Brewery building, which lends credence to the possibility that it was the CIO Building. I would have thought it was 5 or 6 stories maximum.
ReplyDelete Maybe I'm supposed to know, but which building was the "CIO Building", with at least ten floors?
ReplyDeleteRepliesThe current Northbank Center does seem to be the best guess at this point. Also notice that the club doesn't seem to be too fancy from the wire grills on the inside of the windows.
DeleteOn your point, Gordon, if the place is 10-stories up, why the need to put security grills on the windows? The only reason I can come up with is that a fire escape ladder was nearby. Not knowing anything about the building, can anybody recall an external fire escape system?
DeleteOne reason to put security grilles on windows of a tenth floor bar/dance hall might be to keep patrons from falling, or being tossed out, the windows during beer-fueled fights and other rambunctiousness.
Of course, maybe the Skyline Club was genteel and guys didn't get into fights. Non-genteel bar behavior used to be pretty common, though.
- AnonymousJune 26, 2014 at 10:59 AM
There was also a gymnasium up there once. Perhaps to keep the balls from breaking the windows?
Ever hear of 1929? Given the collective memory of Flint Expat readers, I'm a little surprised that no one has come forward and definitively declared the exact location of what was known as the C.I.O. Building, especially since it wasn't exactly maintaining a low-profile with dancing seven nights a week. Anybody?
ReplyDeleteThe CIO Building was an earlier name of the Northbank Center.
I found positive confirmation of that fact on page 72 of the book "Flint 1890-1960" written by the Genesee Historical Society, Arcadia Publishing, 2004.
The building has had the following names:
Industrial Savings Bank, built 1923.
Industrial Building (following the merger with the Union Trust & Savings to form the Union Industrial Bank, 1929)
CIO Building
Metropolitan Building
Northbank Center
Also mentioned in the book; The building's upper floors included a track and a gym that was used for high school basketball games, dances, and other events. Also the IMA had a "palatial club room" in the building. Perhaps that IMA club room later became the Skyline Club.
I also seem to remember seeing old historic photos of the gym (perhaps in the Flint Journal) that referred to it as the "IMA Gym", and that this gym was essentially the "IMA" prior to the construction of the "IMA Auditorium" in 1929. Or perhaps it was merely that IMA sponsored events were held in that gym prior to 1929.RepliesThanks for the confirmation. I've never been inside the Northbank Center. I know UM-Flint now owns it and I believe they did some significant rehab work at some point. Here's a link with some exterior and interior shots: http://www.flintexpats.com/2009/09/flint-postcards-industrial-savings-bank.html
- AnonymousJune 27, 2014 at 7:51 PM
It was probably never the real name of the building now known as Northbank Center. Perhaps they had an office there, and the CIO sponsored the dances. I believe it was called The Metropolitan Building in that era. I remember people called The National Building "The Morrison Building" because Morrison's was the ground floor occupant. Perhaps that is why it says CIO Building. Otherwise, that "Collective Memory" may have been being investigated next door at the "CIA Building", which oddly enough had a whole bunch of telephones sitting on a table back in the day. OK, I made that one up.:)
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJuly 2, 2014 at 6:34 PM
I think at one time it was also called the ima building.It had a bowling alley on the 8th floor and a bar called the penguin room I thinkI used to sell newspapers on the corners downtown and some times my spot would be in front trying to sell to people going in and out and those that would drive up to the curb.
In the forties " open the door Richard" was a very popular song and the artist that sang it appeared at the skyline club.

this is my absolute favourite body cream EVER! im asian and i have extremely dry, extremely sensitive skin on my body. in the winters i used to literally bawl my eyes out because my skin hurt so badly from drying out(even when i used to lather up on the moisturiser).
one day whilst strolling through priceline i came across this moisturiser and it is absolutely DEVINE! after a week(or maybe even less!) my skin improved dramatically. it feel smoother and look soo much better. i could never use anything else ever again! ive gone through probably 6bottles of these.. they last quite a while.. probably 4-5months(and i use this every day after showering!). and it has never ever irritated my skin! completely fabulous!
i gave it a 3 for packaging however because when nearing the end of a bottle.. it gets fustratingly hard to scoop up every last drop of product.

For many many years i have never been able to help my irritated parched dry skin. I am one who tried every creme high end and drug store brands....
Its been a few years already...and i have never used anything but the 24 hour creme..
a miracle in a plastic container...
is that possible ??????
My arms my legs........never a dry patch!
I used to squirm....my skin was so itchy....but this is truly......a wonder creme.
use it right after a shower or bath...dont wait to long.....
youre never going to roam the aisles for another moisturizer again!

I have a very dry skin especially during winter and I am very satisfied with all St. Ives products, especially the 24 hour moisturizers. It is non-sticky, it smells good and my skin stays moisturized for a whole 24h, from shower to shower, even the rough area such as elbows, knees, etc. I wouldn't buy anything else...

I have been really wanting a bottle of Kiehl's Creme de Corps- I have tried smaller bottles and loved the way that it worked, but I am trying to whittle down the price of my cosmetic addiction and didn't want to pay the high price. I found this at Target on clearance and thought "What the hey". I love it. It has a regular lotion smell, not some weird chemical-ly scent, and it works very well on my winter skin. I have a space heater blasting at me all day long, and it really keeps working all day to keep my legs soft. Not sticky, sinks right in. Will repurchase even at regular price.

Wow, I'm surprised to see so many good reviews on this stuff! I got it based on reviews and my hands have gone from ok to terrible. I have used this pretty much exclusively for months and my hands have become bright red, super dry and cracked. I mean it doesn't help me at all.
But the worst part of this lotion is that when my hands are this dry and cracked, it BURNS my skin, like a chemical. It's the only lotion I've ever had that does this, so not sure why, maybe I'm allergic to something in it. But I personally will not buy this brand again. It doesn't help my dry skin, the smell is nothing good, and it burns my hands.

My favorite body/hand moisturizer. I found travel size ones at Target in the dollar beauty bins, so I now have 2 travel size ones that I can just refill & carry around with me. It has a very light scent that is barely noticable & just smells like...lotion. Every other moisturizer I smell lately has some nasty fragrance added to it & it makes me sick. I want people to smell my perfume, not a nasty lotion. This is the perfect moisturizer for me. continued >>

Smelled okay. Works great on very dry winter hands and legs. Absorbs well. Dirt cheap and I liked that I didn't need to keep applying this all day.

I absolutely LOVE this lotion! It is definitely my HG of all lotions. I have purchased this twice in the small, flip-cap style and finally decided I would go for the big 18-oz pump bottle. This moisturizer is NOT sticky whatsoever, which is one of my biggest pet peeves about other lotions. I feel like it sinks right into my skin, without leaving a strong fragrant smell. Unlike other lotions that make people turn and smell if you put it on during a meeting or with people around, this lotion would probably not be smelled by anyone around you. Anyway, I don't know if it lives up to its "24 hour" claim, but it definitely sticks around for a long time on my skin!
