Last election, the national GOP, for the first time, spent party money in local school board elections in Colorado. As a result, the board was populated by school choice and voucher advocates.
Tonight, last year's spending paid off. The school board put forth what can't even be considered a half-assed effort to pass a bond/mill levy to maintain school funding in the county. It, predictably, failed to pass.
I'm trying, with much difficulty, to maintain a bit of objectivity as I write this, because it's very personal. The bond's failure means that my wife, along with every other elementary art, music, and PE teacher and every elementary librarian will lose their jobs at the end of the year.
EDIT - (I'm sorry that this isn't organized well and that it devolved into a cuss-fest at the end. Feel free to skip the last three paragraphs.)
So, immediately, the irony is thick. Months of harping about jobs boils down to one poignant moment in which the actions of the GOP speak much louder than their words. They are not worried about job creators or even creating jobs. This much we already knew. They are, quite obviously, concerned only with dismantling the public framework that we, as a nation, have spent the last 225 years building. Education, social programs...whatever it may be.
A bit of background:
As Colorado has fallen into economic doldrums, along with the rest of the nation, funding for education has dried up. We were especially effected because our state constitution includes an amendment called TABOR - the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights - that prevents the state legislature from raising taxes without a popular vote. The Colorado Supreme Court has carved out some exceptions to TABOR and the people have voted for some broad exceptions, but, for the most part, if Colorado wants to raise revenues, it has to go to the people. TABOR was initially championed by Colorado's OG Tea-Partier, Douglas Bruce. Beyond what I happen to think about the man, personally, (I think he's a self-serving blowhard) he is also currently under indictment for tax evasion. Because of TABOR, Colorado Governor Hickenlooper had no choice but to cut K-12 education funding by over $300 million. With increased operating costs, this left school districts, including Douglas County, scrambling for cash.
Douglas County initially responded with the usual ideas. They considered increasing class sizes, cutting bus service, and furlough days. They wanted to cut teacher salaries while paying the superintendent the highest salary of any school administrator in the state. And, Douglas County teachers have already been on a voluntary, union-supported pay freeze for the last five years. That may be part of why it hurts so much when commenters in articles about the bond issue on local news websites call teachers "leaches" and accuse them of freeloading on the public teet.
instead of focusing on the infrastructure and personell that have made Douglas County one of the top school districts in the state, the board decided to push for a new voucher program that is so popular that it is currently enjoined by the Denver District Court because it shuttles public money to private and religious schools.
With their previous plans to destroy the public education system in Douglas County foiled, the board cooked up something more devious. They asked for a bond and mill levy. Normally, this is a rather usual way to raise revenues in a county. The bond itself is not devious. Rather, the conditions attached to it are.
If the bond had passed, the entire district was going to a pay-for-performance system, requiring teachers to spend hours every week collecting student and parent surveys. Potential for great bonuses, you say? The teachers are required to have 98% approval ratings from both students and parents to get a bonus. On what planet do you think that's remotely attainable. The board put almost no effort into getting votes, even leading a right-wing commenter on a local news site to cry conspiracy: he hadn't heard about the bond issue and thought the board was selectively promoting it only to people who would vote for it.
Now that the bond has failed, and everyone knew it would, the true goal of the Douglas County School Board is revealed. The mill levy, according to an internal document, included money to "keep electives/specials." The union sent a message to all of its members saying that the cuts required to balance the school budget could include art, music, PE, library, technology, middle and high school electives, counselors, support staff, and teachers.
The committee that the board hired to promote the bond and mill levy issued a statement saying that without passing both ballot issues, the district would have to cut specials - art, music, and PE.
The overwhelming feeling Douglas County teachers had tonight, as the elections closed and it became obvious that the bond a mill levy had failed, was one of depression. After five years of sacrifice for the children of Douglas County, teachers feel like they've been gutted and left to bleed out in the streets of Parker, CO. The residents of the county don't support them or are too stupid to see through the haze of talking points they've been fed. Even the parents that these teachers see every day, who get daily reports from their kids about how school went, can't make the connection between the "teachers" they hate and the people they've befriended. They don't see that the votes they cast for the GOP jobs program - tax cuts! job creators! feed the rich! - are in fact killing jobs on which the future of America depends. The vote tonight eliminated at least 180 jobs next school year, including my wife's.
Right now, my wife is alternating between crying and looking for a Republican to punch. Beyond the pain of believing she won't be able to pursue a passion in teaching, she feels the pain of betrayal. She has given so much to the kids of Douglas County. She works 13 hour days, teaching, planning lessons, leading student clubs, decorating the school with student art. The budget cuts of the last five years have already increased class sizes and eliminated a lot of the support staff that teachers rely upon on a daily basis. On top of this, her school happens to be the magnet school for the special needs kids in the district and each of these kids get mainstreamed into her art classroom. The lack of aids make teaching a class of 35 impossible when the special needs kids misbehave. For the first time, she's talking about getting out of public education. My mother-in-law retired from a 32-year career at a neighboring district last year and is ecstatic that she did.
All of this only supports what we've believed for a long time. The GOP is trying and, unfortunately, succeeding at destroying public education. They're creating conditions that drive the best, most passionate teachers out of careers because they simply can't survive.
And now, I devolve into mudslinging.
Fuck you GOP. Fuck you like Gaddafi after the rebels caught him. You talk about taking America back? Little progressive tax increases cost you a couple of hundred dollars a year. GOP policies cost people their jobs and their lives. Education, health care, social security - these are the things that make us a good society and they cost money.
Suck it up yourselves, assholes. Contribute to the country that provided the platform for your success (for those of you that actually have it - some of you are cutting yourself off at the knees, idiots). Or, move to a country that openly supports oligarchy and let's see how long your tax savings can keep the local warlord away.

`Volcanoes in India killed dinosaurs`
New York: Volcanic activity in the Deccan Traps near modern-day Mumbai, and not an asteroid, may have killed the dinosaurs about 65-million-years ago, according to a new study.
Research suggest that tens of thousands of years of lava flow from the Deccan Traps, a volcanic region near Mumbai may have spewed poisonous levels of sulphur and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and caused the mass extinction through the resulting global warming and ocean acidification.
The findings are the latest volley in an ongoing debate over whether an asteroid or volcanism killed off the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago in the mass die-off known as the K-T extinction, the `Live Science` reported.
"Our new information calls for a reassessment of what really caused the K-T mass extinction," said Gerta Keller, a geologist at Princeton University, who conducted the study.
For several years, Keller has argued that volcanic activity killed the dinosaurs.
However, proponents of the Alvarez hypothesis argue that a giant meteorite impact at Chicxulub, Mexico, around 65 million years ago released toxic amounts of dust and gas into the atmosphere, blocking out the Sun to cause widespread cooling, choking the dinosaurs and poisoning sea life.
The meteorite impact may also have set off volcanic activity, earthquakes and tsunamis.
The new research "really demonstrates that we have Deccan Traps just before the mass extinction, and that may contribute partially or totally to the mass extinction," said Eric Font, a geologist at the University of Lisbon in Portugal.
In 2009, oil companies drilling off the Eastern coast of India uncovered eons-old lava-filled sediments buried nearly 3.3 kilometers below the ocean surface.
Keller and her team found they contained plentiful fossils from around the boundary between the Cretaceous-Tertiary periods, or K-T Boundary, when dinosaurs vanished.
The sediments bore layers of lava that had travelled nearly 1,603 km from the Deccan Traps.
The volcanic region, today, spans an area as big as France, but was nearly the area of Europe when it was active during the late Cretaceous period, said Adatte Thierry, a geologist from the University of Lausanne in France.
Within the fossil record, plankton species got fewer, smaller and maintained less elaborate shells immediately after lava layers, which would indicate it happened in years after the eruptions.

2001 Chrysler 300M Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 8 reviews
Chrysler added several new features and options to the full size 300M. Steering wheel audio control were now standard equipment. The rear end of the sedan was redesigned, now including clear lens taillights and dual chrome exhaust. New 17-inches wheel and and aluminum window trim added to the exterior look, and additional interior and exterior colors became available. The 300M was now offered with a luxury group package which included real wood trim and auto-dimming mirrors.
The 300M would house the same engine throughout its life: a 3.5 liter V-6, which was built specifically for use in the LH platform sedans like the 300 and the Intrepid. The engined was paired with a for speed automatic transmission, but Chrysler offered the AutoStick for that surrogate manual feel. The 253 horses powered the 300M from 0 to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds.
Many of the reliability concerns attached to the earlier model now seemed to be diminishing. However, build quality was still an issue. Many of the repairs were directed to small inconveniences like power failures and temperamental electronics. Most of these problems were reports by drivers who had crossed the 50,000 mile mark.

anonymous asked:
What's the difference between karate, martial arts, and Kung fu?
Uhh. Well, first, martial arts is the term for any cultural style of fighting, like karate, kung fu, tae kwon do, Brazilian jiu jitsu, krav maga, aikido, etc… they come from all over the world and have different histories and often really interesting origin stories. A martial art can revolve around join manipulation and technique, like aikido or judo, ground fighting like Brazilian jiu jitsu or wrestling, fighting while using weapons, like archery and kendo, or involve striking with your hands, feet, elbows, and knees, like karate, muay Thai, boxing, tkd, krav maga, wing chun, and many others.
Now the basic/main differences between karate and kung fu are geographical and historical. Karate originated in Okinawa, an island near Japan, which has been under the influence of both Japan and China over the years, but karate was developed while the Chinese were in charge (fun fact, but I'm not 100% sure if this is true, is that the Okinawan farmers were not allowed to have weapons during this period, and so developed ways to use farming tools offensively. Because, who can tell a farmer to stop using his scythe that he needs to cut grain?), and so is based off of Chinese styles, but was later brought to mainland Japan in the early 1900s, where some say it was "refined." Kung Fu, being the general term for Chinese martial arts, has therefore existed for much much longer than karate. I think the most influential style of kung fu for karate is called White Crane (again, I'm not exactly a history buff when it comes to this stuff). Wing chun and wushu are types of kung fu, as is the ideology of the five animals. Think Kung Fu Panda, the animals are tiger, mantis, crane, monkey, and snake, and are utilized to display the variability of fighting styles as well as the ways of life a martial artist can lead.
Tl;dr: Martial arts is the umbrella term, "kung fu" just means any and all martial arts from China, while karate is a distinct (although incredibly expansive) martial art, which has been influenced greatly by kung fu styles.
Hope that helped :)

Man quits steady job to make swords
For many, 33-year-old Jia Huaijin is like a hero from a Kung Fu novel.
Jia abandoned his stable job at a state-owned enterprise five years ago, and has dedicated himself to making swords at a farmhouse in his hometown of Guying, a town near Henan Province's capital city Zhengzhou.
For the past five years, Jia has worked day and night in his blacksmith's shop in pursuit of his dream to recover swords from nearly 2,000 years ago's Han Dynasty, which lasted from 206 B.C. to 220 A.D.
Jia has become so immersed in in his craft that even his appearance has changed, now invoking the look of an man out of a history book. Nowadays he usually wears old-fashioned Chinese clothing, and has a bun top of his head, making him seem more like a blast from the past.
Jia has become a bit of a celebrity these days. The price for his work ranges from 100,000 yuan ($16,120) to 200,000 yuan ($32, 240) a piece. His work has earned him international acclaim after a Canadian man asked him to make a sword, a moment Jia is quite proud of.
The town of Guying was once home to many blacksmiths 2,000 years ago. Jia said his love for swords has been deeply rooted in him since he was a young boy. "A favorite activity for my childhood friends and I was putting a nail on the rail, and watch as it would turn into a 'blade' under a passing train."

And these are all the 2 minute poses. Animation life drawing is so much faster than regular life drawing but I think I respond better to that.
If you like a bit of feminism in your martial arts history, look no further than the lady on the left, Chen Shichao.
Chen Shichao was a member of the renowned Jingwu kung fu institute (a school primarily responsible for reshaping the face of kung fu teaching) and believed in total equality not only in the institute but in martial arts in general.
She would often tour, promoting Chinese kung fu for women in an attempt to increase the number of ladies learning martial arts.
Health teacher: we're watching an educational movie for the next few days before spring break. I really like it because it's about exercise and shows how exercise is great.

*hears Kung fu panda intro*
I've always wondered about the truth behind Michael Jackson's interest in martial arts and whether he was an actual practitioner.
His ex-bodyguard who, granted, is well known for being a lying piece of shit, said Michael was a real fighter who'd actually achieved a blackbelt in some form of kung fu and Will Smith has said that at, one point, he believed Michael to be a blue belt in Taekwondo.
There's also the talk of him being a massive Bruce Lee fan and, of course, on his tour of China, he stopped off at the Shaw Brother studios.
Not only that, but he would often visit martial arts schools in various places (above, with Michael in the blue, was a trip to a Japanese Karate school).
But nothing has ever been truly revealed. It's all just talk. Apparently he trained a lot and his dancing helped with his speed. But there's nothing to suggest that Michael was an actual martial artist.
It would be amazing to know more about his interest. I'd like to thing that, much like RZA, he had a huge collection of kung fu movies in Neverland…bot who knows?
Jackie Chan is currently the world's most famous martial artist. As a director, producer, action choreographer, martial artist, comedian, singer, stunt performer and, most importantly, an actor, Jackie has stunned billions of movie goers worldwide with his martial arts and acrobatic movements. "I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan". Jackie

Judith Aronson has been teaching graphic design at Simmons for seventeen years and has been a practicing designer and photographer for more than thirty years. Prior to Simmons she taught at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and the New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University. Earlier in her career she was a program analyst in the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department in Washington, DC, served as a VISTA Volunteer in East Harlem, and worked as a city planner for the New York City Environmental Protection Administration. For fifteen years she lived overseas: three years in South East Asia and twelve in England where she was a photojournalist. Aronson holds a BA in American Studies from the University of Michigan and a MA in City Planning and a MA in Fine Art/Graphic Design, from Yale University.
Her special interests are typography, environmental design, and photojournalism. In 2003 she received a grant from the Colleges of the Fenway to teach the course Wayfinding: Design, Information Architecture and Public Spaces. Wayfinding is a specialty that applies design principles to information systems that help people move through complex urbanscapes — hospitals, airports, college campuses and the like. In 2006 Aronson had a one person retrospective in Boston of her color photographs, TACTILE |MERCANTILE, with pictures ranging from the young Mick Jagger, to the slums Harlem and the exotic scenery in South East Asia. In 2010 she published LIKENESSES, with the Sitters Writing About One Another, a book of black and white portraits of writers and artists. The book led to a number of exhibitions both in the US and England including at the Picture Gallery, Christ Church, Oxford, The Poetry Society, London and the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol. A poetry competition sponsored by Bristol University in conjunction with the last show produced thirty poems each responding to one of her photographs. In 2015 the exhibition will move to the Cambridge University Library in England for twelve months.
Aronson's photographs are held in collections at The National Portrait Gallery, London; Christ College, Cambridge; Keble College and Christ Church, Oxford University; Brotherton Library, Leeds University; and the National Portrait Gallery (Smithsonian Institute), Washington, DC. Her work has been published in The Sunday Telegraph, England, the New York Review of Books, The Threepenny Review, Ms. Magazine, and the Boston Globe.
I started my own college education as a pre-med major. (Guess what my parents did.) In my second semester, I discovered economics, and I've been a student of economic systems ever since. I continue to be fascinated by the dynamics that subject the economy to instability and even crisis; competing economic theories, from those that celebrate market outcomes to those that problematize class; economics as a window into social justice issues; and education reform movements as reflections of economic priorities. While I did not become a physician, I have devoted my life to studying the physiology and metabolic system of an important patient: the economy.
I love teaching as a craft, as a way to inspire students, and as a way to be inspired by students and colleagues. The classroom is a sanctuary, and time preparing for class and helping students pursue their own research is precious. Teaching extends to working one-on-one with students during office hours and engaging in intellectual play with the Economics Student Liaison (similar to economics "clubs" at other institutions). I also take great pleasure in advising students, which for me means helping them (1) discover their passions, (2) figure out what difference they want to make in the world and how to prepare to make that difference, and (3) navigate Simmons and Boston to get to most out of their college experience.
I am a physical therapist with orthopedic specialization and have been practicing in outpatient rehabilitation for the past 15 years. I have an interest in general orthopedics and sports medicine related conditions with a specific focus on rehabilitation of the shoulder. I have enjoyed teaching at Simmons for the past 8 years and feel that the combination of small class sizes, engaged and accessible faculty, and the incorporation of problem based learning really prepares graduates to be leaders in the changing health care environment.
Dr. Doherty received her PhD in Government with a concentration in Public Policy from Northeastern University after receiving a BA in Government from Clark University. As an undergrad, she had many different roles as a student, not unlike many of our students here at Simmons: captain of the Women's Basketball team, member of the Admissions Staff, and explorer of the many academic opportunities that a liberal arts college has to offer.
Currently, Dr. Doherty serves as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for the College of Arts and Sciences where she supports the Dean of CAS around faculty and student academic needs. These include areas such as general education, academic support, and majors/program curriculum. She is also the director of the graduate Program in Public Policy as well as the 3+1 accelerated program in Public Policy.
A proud member of the Department of Political Science and International Relations, Dr. Doherty's teaching is centered around the American Political System, with a concentration on gender and politics, popular culture and public policy. She was honored to be named Professor of the Year by students in 2008 and received the Dean's Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising in 2009.
She is also the co-host of the Sports Profs, a weekly sports talk radio show on Simmons College internet Radio. Each week, Dr. Doherty with Dr. Daren Graves from the Education department talk sports as it intersects with race, gender, and class. "Real talk, with an academic twist." When not at Simmons, Dr. Doherty enjoys watching and playing all sports with her two partners in crime, husband Mark and son, Donovan. She also enjoys music, reading, and really bad television.
Judith Richland has been teaching new media courses in the Communications Department at Simmons College since 2004. For the past four years she has won the Simmons President's Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Council Grant (PDIAC) for her program Diversity in Film Genres: Empowering Young Women of Color and Looking at Attitude Changes in the Simmons Community". For this program she invites accomplished international women filmmakers to screen their films and engage with the students. The program encourages students to discuss the films and attend workshops with these filmmakers in order to understand the diverse needs of women throughout the world. In 2014 she organized and initiated the first International Women's Film Forum at Simmons College which was attended by 150 participants. These film programs have greatly inspired her students and she works with them closely and encourages them create their own films. Under her guidance in August 2014, two Saudi students launched "Takalamy: A Conversation with Young Saudi Females." The film was of great interest to the Chronicle of Higher Education, who contacted her about the making of and content of the film.
In addition to screening films, she teaches video editing, shooting, motion graphics, graphic design and web design. In 2003 she completed her Masters of Fine Arts degree specializing in New Media from the Dynamic Media Institute at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She also possesses a Master of Fine Arts from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Printmaking, a Masters in Art History from Boston University and an undergraduate BS degree in Human Development from Cornell University. She has also studied in rigorous programs in Graphic Design at the Boston Museum School, Comparative Media Studies at MIT (with Henry Jenkins), and Art and Visual Perception at Harvard University (with Rudolph Arnheim).
Judith Richland is no stranger to the Graphic Design world in Boston. She headed up one of the few women-owned design firms in Boston for 20 years designing websites and promotional marketing literature for MIT, Apple Computer, Lotus Development, Massachusetts General Hospital, IBM, Fidelity and many other Fortune 500 companies. Richland Design Associates received numerous awards and the firm's work appears in many design publications. Judith Richland was the first woman president of the Boston Chapter of AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) and served on numerous national panels as a representative of the Boston design community.
Lena Zuckerwise is a political theorist specializing in contemporary political thought and democratic politics. Her first book, which will be published in 2015, brings the work of Hannah Arendt into the company of several key debates in democratic theory. Professor Zuckerwise's writings on the subjects of post-colonial feminism, the philosopher Martha Nussbaum, and the theory of foundationalism will appear later this year in the Encyclopedia of Political Thought. Other interests include gender and feminist theory, and the politics of race in the United States. Professor Zuckerwise teaches courses in historical political thought; contemporary feminist theory; the politics of human rights; and modern and contemporary theories of justice. Prior to coming to Simmons, Professor Zuckerwise taught at Wellesley College and Mount Holyoke College in the political science and gender studies departments, respectively. She completed her Ph.D. in 2010 at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where she was the recipient of the Distinguished Teaching Award. Professor Zuckerwise lives in the city of Boston with her partner, three-year-old son, and corgi, Olive, who has befriended many of her students. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking and cooking.
I have a joint appointment in both the Mathematics & Statistics and the Computer Science & Informatics programs.

Java players Azul and CumuLogic have teamed up to create what they say is the first integrated, truly elastic PaaS-enablement platform by combining CumuLogic's Java-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) with Azul's memory-elastic Zing runtime (i.e. Java Virtual Machine).
The move is supposed to make life more worth living for Java developers trying to get to the cloud who find PaaS environments a hassle or whose mission-critical apps wind up TCO-challenged SLA defects despite JVM tuning and complex provisioning schemes. (Sound familiar?)
Azul CEO Scott Sellers says CumuLogic focuses on the operations side, making apps reliant, managed, monitored and metered, and Azul's widgetry ensures mission-critical workloads perform even in the multi-tenant environments that can be a sticking point.
The level of efficiency imparted to Java apps in the cloud by the combined mojo is supposed to be "dramatic."
Scott says he fancies the up-and-coming CumuLogic because - unlike, say, Salesforce.com, granted, an extreme example that even requires its own language be used - it's free of any vendor lock-in, agnostic about the IaaS, and doesn't mean apps have to be rewritten.
By leveraging Azul's real-time, resource-elastic Zing JVM in CumuLogic's platform, he says, enterprises, ISVs and PaaS providers can deploy Java-based applications in the cloud with guaranteed performance and response time consistency.
With Zing's memory elasticity, any multi-tenant application instance can dynamically grow in real-time to meet the performance needs of all tenants. This elasticity at the Java layer ensures maximum operational and resource efficiency, and eliminates the need for expensive custom isolation.
See, for maximum operational efficiency in multi-tenant environments, where a single tenant can usurp all the available resources of a given application instance, PaaS-enablement platforms have to be elastic and accommodate tenants of all size and workload demands.
"Our vision is to deliver a cloud platform that enables customers to deploy production applications in the cloud," CumuLogic CEO Mike Soby said in a statement. "By teaming with Azul Systems we are able to offer a high-performance Java runtime, which is a key requirement in industries such as financial services, where customers can benefit immensely from Zing's elastic memory, pause-less operation, and zero-overhead monitoring"
The widgetry - good for building, testing, quickly deploying and managing Java-based Linux solutions on private, public or hybrid clouds - targets enterprises, ISVs and cloud providers.
Oh, by the way, Azul is supposed to put out Zing 5.5 next week and plug Java memory leaks.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are increasing at an unprecedented rate. The threat landscape of today is drastically different than just a few years ago. Attacks are much more organized and sophisticated. They are harder to detect and even harder to anticipate. In the foreseeable future it's going to get a whole lot harder. Everything you know today will change. Keeping up with this changing landscape is already a daunting task. Your organization needs to use the latest tools, methods and expertise to guard against those threats. But will that be enough? In the foreseeable future attacks w...

American Express
American Express (NYSE: AXP) is a global financial services company and one of the leading brand franchises in the world. In 2007, Interbrand ranked American Express as the 15th most valuable brand in the world, behind only companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's.
Company Description
American Express operates the largest closed-loop credit card transaction system in the world.

Comments about 'Riverton residents upset over destruction of markers at park'
- Oldest first

This was ill-advised and short-sighted. You can replace plaques and monuments, but you cannot replace history. Go ahead and try to make a 30 year old monument. Preservation of age is a sign of respect. This was disrespectful to the efforts of those who put up the monuments and those who have enjoyed the memories they have given over the last 30 years. That is what community is about. Respect.

Riverton does what they want. They are so short sighted they can't see
their noses. The citizens of Riverton ought to do a wholesale house cleaning
next elections cycle.
If the people demand the monuments be put back, they will be.

When the city was discussing the remodel of the park, did the citizens attend the meetings and express their concerns? Or did they decide to get involved only after the fact?

I think a more appropriate title would be "A couple of Riverton residents are upset about a couple of plaques being taken down." I have lived in Riverton for four years, my wife was raised here, and neither of us knew that the monuments existed. If a survey were conducted, I would bet a very small percent knew it was there and even less care. I've been very satisfied with the leadership and will continue to keep them in office. Must be a slow news day.

See, this is why public parks are doomed to fail. If the park were privately owned, there would be plenty of money to preserve the markers. And they'd only have to charge $1-2 for every kid who played there.

@ SAS: Did you read the story? It has nothing to do with money to preserve the markers, but more to do with using the money they do have to make the park more user friendly.

Premium Quality Glittery Knit Hat - Assorted Colors
$10.00 Our Price
$39.99 Retail
Rooting through our old U.S. Army survival manuals, we discovered the origins of the hat-wearing advice, which strongly recommended covering the head when it is cold, since "40 to 45 percent of body heat" is lost out the top. We're not fully convinced that's true, with a knit cap this cute, you don't really need a reason to wear it. Nonetheless, this little number will keep you warm and have you rocking a great look. And if there's one thing we know, cuteness is key. Snap up this great deal now! Want to know more? • Fun homemade knit design • One size fits most, fits best up to 27" head circumference • Premium quality knit hat • Designed in the USA • 100% acrylic • Stretch material • Wash cold, hang dry • Available in your choice of Black, Pink, Ivory, Blue, Royal Purple, Red, Gray

Rather than a standard presentation or runway show, Andrew Bucker (and his namesake line, Buckler) always goes outside the mainstream when it comes time for New York Fashion Week. Last season, he took over a cobble-stoned block in the Meatpacking District, on a bright sunny day, to show his dark-as-all-hell collection. This time, rather than hire models and put clothes on them while they stand around and look bored on purpose, he invited guests to the not-yet-opened bar, Elsinore, in the Lower East Side, where there was a small screen installed in the back. There, he showed a video presentation of his collection, which we're glad to share with you exclusively on The Style Blog now. While you're watching, might be wise to keep in mind the statement the designer sent along with it: "Riots are the inspiration, a reflection of the world around us, a time of expression." Expression indeed.

"Birdbath Garden"
Description from Deb Harding: Tentative elements for a necklace for my Mom's Mother's Day gift. The cameo pendant would be set in the bezel and the bezel patinad(sp) with a color so it looks like a concrete bird bath. The cameo done with blue like water in the middle and the bird and flowers carefully painted (oh boy). The flowers and leaves hang from brass chain which also has crystal links added. My Mom has predominantly yellow flowers around her birdbath.

Deb, I think the necklace is going to be a winner You've got a great idea with fab elements and colors for it! You 'll have to post it when it's completed! I'd love to see it!
Maria thanks. After I picked everything I went back and looked at the moonstone leaves….hoo boy those things are expensive. Don't.know if they will be included..lol.
What an ambitious project – - your mom is sure to be thrilled. Do post a photo of what you create. And I think your necklace would look great without those expensive moonstone leaves ! Sorry to hear you're limited to using your phone to post – - sounds tedious. Thanks for sharing this one – – -
Thank you Crazy Beader.
What a happy combination. I can just see the birds sitting on the rim of that birdbath, chirping up a storm!
I'm not sure I'd add the blue. I like all the yellows and oranges with the antique brass. Okay, maybe a touch of grayed blue to suggest water, but these elements look awfullynice they way they are. P.S. I sympathize with your phone problem. I used a tablet while on vacation and it was a pain.
I was thinking a really light light blue and only in the center of that cameo pendant. Here is a photo of it used as a ring on the Vintaj website. If you scrub the patina off the raised parts they look yellow. I don't want the blue this dark. But I guess I will have to see.
Thank yoi Laud. Yea the phone is a pain.
Thank you Mimo.
Aarrrgh! Mimi not mimo….tiny keyboard…grrrr.
Deb I think you have a great idea here. Yes I'm not particular fond of lucite but why not… Think one can have gilders paste on lucite hmmmm just a thought. Why not use a little shade of green in the water? Pick up the color somewhere else? I think you will do good
But Frida lucite is a vintage type of material used a lot in the 40′s and 50′s for jewelry. It has many forms inlcuding thermoset being one. I collect that kinda. Have a bracelet of my Mom's and she got me a necklace for march for Christmas. How is it different from czech glass which is also manmade?
Photos of my 1950′s thermoset pieces.
That should say "to match" not for march. Also I meant to.say some lucite flowers are made from the original molds used.
Forgot to say thank you Frida…and green in the water…hmmm. I guess I will see when I start messing with it. We all know mu original color for her Christmas necklace was changed so…
Dunno what it's with me and lucite… Shouldn't say that all lucite is ugly Might become friend with it in the end. I don't disslike all manmade material Love glass. The ones in your pics has a more shiny look to them kind of enamel look. Biased me…
I don't like all lucite believe me. That 70′s craze of weird lucite furniture was blah…don't like the clear stuff at all. The flowers are kinda cool.though but I might stick with nothing but glass flowers. I don't know yet.
I love my 50′s stuff. I want more…its not that easy to find around here but Etsy has some.
Might be that I'm not so familar with the material I don't think it looks ugly in all designs, actually I think I'm biased. If I try it I might come back with a WOW
You just can never tell. Never thought I would like tattoos…in the early 90′s hated them. Now…it just all depends on the art, colors and the canvas. A really great tattoo can be ruined by being on the wrong body.
Sounds like a lovely gift, Deb! Can't wait to see it.
Deb, I think your gift will be lovely! I like Lucite, too. Especially the vintage stuff. My favorite is moonglow. Light wieght and in beautiful colors. I have a bunch of it waiting for a design. Some of my Race for the Cure earrings were made from it.
Frida, lucite was originally developed by DuPont for military applications, such as the nosecones of helicopters. Now it's used for beautiful jewelry!
The Beadin Path is a good outlet for vintage lucite. LOTS to choose from!
hmmmm hmmmm might challange meself then??
Very nice.
Lovely & bright! I'm sure your Mom is going to love it. Can't help but be happy with these colors. Go for it!!
Thank you Coral and Jacki
