Archive for the 'Milwaukee Wisconsin' tag
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1962
Given that we came across this group of photos of King Braegar Chevrolet's used car lots in the Brooks Stevens archives on the Milwaukee Art Museum's site, we had a pretty good feeling that King Braegar was located in the Brew City, and indeed, an old ad for the dealership shows it at Forest Home Avenue and South 18th Avenue. Appropriately enough, that ad extols the dealership's collision repair services, and in at least a few of these photos we see a Chrysler in dire need of those services. What else do you see here?
Milwaukee Fire Department's first ambulance, a 1947 Cadillac Sayers & Scovill, returns home
1947 Cadillac S&S ambulance, built by Hess and Eisenhardt. Photos courtesy Warren Skonieczny and the Milwaukee Fire Museum.
Bought for use on the scene of some of Brew City's biggest fires, Milwaukee Fire Department Ambulance No. 1 could handle the heat – even the heat of the Texas sun, under which it spent its retirement. But it belonged back in Milwaukee, and to Milwaukee it has recently returned, where, refurbished, it will go on display in this summer's Milwaukee Masterpiece.
Though it's hard to imagine today, ambulances with life-support equipment are a relatively modern phenomenon (born from combat medical experience in Korea and Vietnam), as is the idea of a centralized emergency response number like 911. In the Milwaukee of 1947, ambulances were typically owned by private firms, and used to transport stabilized patients to and from care facilities. The Milwaukee Police Department owned a few ambulance vehicles, but, as retired Milwaukee Fire Department deputy chief Warren Skonieczny explained, "the Milwaukee Police Department didn't view itself as an ambulance service."
An early shot of the ambulance, showing the roof in white.
Given the risk associated with fighting fires, having an ambulance on scene at multi-alarm fires seemed like the prudent thing to do, and in 1947 the Milwaukee Fire Bell Club raised the funds necessary to purchase a Cadillac Sayers & Scovill ambulance (built by Hess and Eisenhardt, which had acquired the Sayers & Scovill brand in 1942) for use by the Milwaukee Fire Department. As a fire department vehicle, it was painted in a traditional red instead of the expected white, and to be clear, the ambulance was not for civilian use. Instead, it was dispatched to every multi-alarm incident the Milwaukee Fire Department responded to, in the event that a member of the department required expedient medical treatment.
The Cadillac entered service in 1947, labeled as Ambulance No. 1, and for three decades responded to every significant fire within the city of Milwaukee. As delivered from Hess and Eisenhardt, the Cadillac wore red paint on its body and white paint on its roof, but an overzealous attempt at scrubbing the roof clean with oakite (a chemical typically used for cleaning bare metals) necessitated a repaint in solid red.
As the 1970s transitioned into the 1980s, the Cadillac was still in use as a backup ambulance, called upon to support more modern equipment as the need arose. By 1979, however, the vehicle no longer met the minimum standards for ambulances set by state and federal agencies, and thus was officially retired by the Milwaukee Fire Department.
In service during the late 1960s.
Upon decommissioning, the Cadillac was returned to the Milwaukee Fire Bell Club, which maintained a modest fleet of vehicles to provide support services (such as food and drinks) to first responders on incident scenes. An ambulance is hardly a practical vehicle for such purposes, particularly one that measured 22 feet in length and came equipped with a single side view mirror on the driver's side. After retaining possession of the Cadillac as long as it could, the Milwaukee Fire Bell Club sold the rig to a local collector of professional cars.
The Cadillac's new owner didn't keep it long, as the bulk of his collection consisted of funerary vehicles. Next, it was sold to an ambulance collector in New Braunfels, Texas, who kept the car for a few years before selling it to another collector in Dallas, Texas, who maintained it mechanically for display and parade use, but stored it outdoors.
Around the same time, Skonieczny, now retired and with the Milwaukee Fire Museum, began to search for the Cadillac in earnest. Though he'd occasionally come across a lead, each one turned out to be a dead end, until one day in 2012 the phone rang at the museum. "I have one of your old ambulances," the caller said, "and it's yours if you come to Dallas and pick it up."
Thankful for the generous donation, Skonieczny prepared himself for the worst. When the car arrived, however, those on hand to receive it were astonished at the rig's overall condition; though the sun had faded its once-pristine red paint and gold lettering, the inside was in remarkably good condition, and exactly as the car had left the Milwaukee Fire Department decades earlier. A coat of paint and new (hand-painted) gold lettering were all it took to bring Ambulance No. 1 back to life, and today the Milwaukee Fire Museum has the ambulance on display.
Incredibly, it's seen just 19,265 miles pass beneath its wheels, and the 346-cu.in. flathead V-8 has never been apart. It's equipped with a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission, and Skonieczny is clear that only changes made to the vehicle after leaving the Hess and Eisenhardt assembly line were those made by the Milwaukee Fire Department. As such, it's a true time capsule car, a reminder of both the department's history and a step on the evolutionary ladder of the modern ambulance.
It's fitting, then, that plans are under way to make the Cadillac available for firefighter funerals in Milwaukee; for those of a generation, could there be a better way to respond to the final scene than in the back of a 1947 Sayers & Scovill Cadillac ambulance?
The 2014 Milwaukee Masterpiece weekend will take place on August 23 and 24 at Veteran's Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For additional details, visit MilwaukeeMasterpiece.com.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1950s
From a reader who wishes to remain anonymous comes these two photos of Milwaukee in the 1950s, found on a page dedicated to Motor Coaches of the Brew City. Above, the bus parking area at County Stadium in about 1954, about a year after the stadium opened as the home of the Milwaukee Braves. And below, a photo of West Wisconsin Avenue, though after a little googling, we're still not sure exactly where. What do you see here?
Harley-Davidson gearing up for 110th anniversary party
Photo courtesy Harley-Davidson.
Harley-Davidson likes to throw big parties to thank its loyal customers every five years, and this year's 110th anniversary party in the company's hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is no exception. Hundreds of events are planned for the four-day celebration scheduled for August 29 to September 1, including a UFC match and some pretty big bands that will be playing throughout the weekend.
Among the musical acts scheduled to play the celebration are Toby Keith, Aerosmith, Kid Rock, ZZ Top, Katey Sagal (from Sons of Anarchy) and her Forrest Rangers, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Blue Oyster Cult, Common, Buckcherry and the Doobie Brothers. Concert ticket packages, which must be purchased separately from the 110th anniversary ticket packages, will give attendees access to the Summerfest Grounds in downtown Milwaukee. As many as five live bands will be performing at the Summerfest Grounds at the same time.
Anniversary celebration ticket packages also contain a pass to participate in Saturday morning's traditional parade through downtown, which organizers try to limit to 10,000 bikes (but are never successful). Harley's own headquarters, the Harley-Davidson Museum and several of their assembly facilities located around town will be open for tours.
Separate event tickets are also available to see UFC 164, the Ultimate Fighting Championship match at the BMO Harris Bradley Center that same weekend.
Harley-Davidson will also host a street party each afternoon at various venues around the city that will remain open until 11:30 p.m. and, of course, all of the local Harley-Davidson dealerships will be open extended hours and hosting their own vendors and events. Members of Harley-Davidson's national HOG Club will receive access to special 30th anniversary HOG-only events at the Summerfest Grounds, including exclusive access to the grounds for HOG members only between noon and 5 p.m. on Thursday, at which time they will be treated to a concert by Lynyrd Skynyrd. And they will be first in line to select seating for the other entertainment that evening.

Millers at Milwaukee to celebrate centennial of Brewtown's Vanderbilt Cup race
Photo courtesy Mecum Auctions
The Harry A. Miller Club lost part of its soul over the last couple of years when two of its most enthusiastic members, Chuck Davis and David Uihlein, both passed away. But enthusiasm for the aesthetically stunning and world-beating creations of Harry Armenius Miller never wanes. That's why the 18th annual Millers at Milwaukee gathering for vintage race cars is on for July 6-7 at the Milwaukee Mile in West Allis, Wisconsin, one of America's most historic speedways.
The reunion attracts Millers, sure, but also post-war Indy cars that took their inspiration from original Miller designs such as the "letdown" roadsters that used angled-over Offenhauser power. We've seen cars dating back to the Sig Haugdahl-driven Wisconsin Special here. This year's gathering also commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Vanderbilt Cup race in Milwaukee, won by Ralph De Palma. The club president, we should add, is Dana Mecum, himself a huge fan of Miller's greatness. For info, visit HarryMillerClub.com.
Lost Dealerships Project – Kuhl Motor Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin
While recently digging through the Milwaukee Public Library's online photo archive, we came across the above photo and thought it'd make for a great carspotting scene. While it does indeed, the archive has a number of other photos of Kuhl's operations, showing it to be a new Ford dealer as well as a used car dealer. In fact, as we discovered after studying the photos, the used car lot was directly behind the new car dealership.
Kuhl had been selling Fords at least as far back as 1938, but in 1954, Ford terminated its contract with Kuhl. Kuhl fought the termination in Wisconsin courts for the next year, but lost the case. According to the Milwaukee Public Library, the dealership became McGuire Ford in 1956; judging from the two 1956 Fords parked out front of the dealership, we'd have to guess that these photos were taken in the very last days of Kuhl Ford.
We don't know how long McGuire Ford remained in this location – straddling North Eight and North James Lovell streets just south of West Wells Street – but none of the buildings remain today, all replaced with apartment buildings.
Milwaukee, November 1962
Looming over this scene of Milwaukee's North Broadway Street, taken in November 1962, was the approaching eastern extension of the East-West Freeway, I-794, which finally crossed the Milwaukee River in 1969, demolishing the buildings seen here. According to the description of the photo on the Milwaukee Public Library's online photo archive, apprehension about the highway is the reason why many of the buildings stand vacant. Yet there's plenty of cars still in the scene for us to identify. What do you see here?
Besasie's bizarre batmobile: the X-3 Explorer
Most car people familiar with the Besasie clan of Milwaukee probably know of them in connection with designer Brooks Stevens. Ray Besasie Sr. had been Stevens' personal mechanic since 1940, Joe Besasie designed a number of concepts for Stevens – including the Excalibur – and Ray Besasie Jr. built and raced cars for Stevens (as well as the Excalibur Kart). Yet the Besasies put their prodigious talent to work on their own projects as well, including the Besasie Explorer, which became the focus of a two-page spread in the March 1961 issue of Mechanix Illustrated.
As noted in the article, Joe designed it while Ray Sr. and Ray Jr. built it. The Explorer played host to a number of innovations, including center-seat steering, a knee-controlled hydraulic steering mechanism, and no doors. They based it on a 1957 Chevrolet chassis and used a modified 365-cu.in. Cadillac V-8 that the they claimed was good for 350 horsepower, 21 MPG, a 6-second 0-60 time and a top speed of 140 MPH. According to a March 1961 Popular Science article, the Besasies sold the Explorer for $20,000 (about $147,000 in today's dollars) before they even built it.
Also as noted in the article, the Besasies built another car a couple of years earlier. That was actually the mid-engine aluminum-bodied equally bizarre X-2, making the Explorer the X-3. A two-seater preceded both in 1955 as the X-1, and another center-knee-steer car followed as the X-4 later in the 1960s. However, the Besasie clan's tinkering goes back even further than that, to the pre-war era, when Ray Sr. owned a Texaco station in Milwaukee and built race cars both for himself and for his neighbors. It was likely that experience that led him in 1941 to build an exhaust-driven supercharger (he didn't call it a turbocharger at the time) based loosely on production crankshaft-driven supercharger technology.
Of the four Besasie built cars, it appears that three – the X-1, the X-3, and the X-4 – still exist today, though the X-3 has been fitted with a top similar to the X-2's and the Cadillac engine has been replaced with an Olds 455.
Lost Museums: Brooks Stevens Automotive Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Auto museums never really seem to come and go – instead, they appear to be timeless, non-contemporary and not affected by change, perhaps due to their focus on history and apparent situation in the past rather than the present. But, of course, that's not the case: Museums come and go just like any other institution, and of the many museums that have gone, the Brooks Stevens Automotive Museum – which closed in 1999, four years after Stevens' death – is perhaps the one I would've most liked to have visited.
Thanks to reader Kent Martin of Alto, New Mexico, however, we can get a glimpse of what the museum was like. Kent sent us a big box of materials a while back, and from that box I nabbed this brochure/catalog that Kent picked up at the museum. A booklet included with the brochuralog includes several photos of the cars in the museum, some of which I've included here.
That Cord, by the way, was Stevens' first custom car, and allegedly is the first vehicle ever to carry a tailfin
As for the museum location, it appears the pond has been filled in and the L-shaped building razed to make way for a cluster of office buildings, but the odd-shaped building, which housed the offices for Brooks Stevens Design, still stands, though apparently vacant now.
Also, if you'll indulge me for one moment, I noticed something in that aerial photo of the museum. This van parked next to the L-shaped building certainly looks quite a bit like one of the three Jeep FC vans Stevens had built. I'm not sure what that semi parked around the pond was, however.
UPDATE (11.November 2009): Glenn Adamson's book on Stevens, "Industrial Strength Design: How Brooks Stevens Shaped Your World," notes that the museum opened on September 2, 1959, and includes a couple paragraphs about the museum that are worth quoting here.
Taking his cue from the cars themselves (and perhaps from the new Disneyland theme park in California as well), Stevens had the museum grounds landscaped to suggest the early twentieth century. One approached the main building via a dirt road with a covered bridge, passing a lake with a 1911 steam-powered yacht. Behind the museum was a farmhouse that would be remodeled for office space and a "research and development" building. This small auto shop would soon prove invaluable as a space to construct automobile models under the watchful eyes of Frank Newschwager and Ray Besasie Sr., who had been Stevens's personal mechanics since the 1940s. In later years, Brooks's son David would take charge of the shop, to be followed by Ron Paetow. Among the cars that were built there were the prototypes of the Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk and the Excalibur SSK roadster.
The museum itself had 12,500 square feet of exhibition space and, when it opened, displayed thirty-four autos, most of them from Stevens's personal collection, though a few had been borrowed from his friends in the world of car collecting. Among the star vehicles were a 1905 Cadillac one-cylinder roadster, a 1914 Marmon Wasp, a 1927 Hispano-Suiza town car, a 1930 L-29 Cord coupe custom-designed by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, a 1939 Talbot Lago, and a 1928 Mercedes phaeton that had belonged to Al Jolson and would later serve as the inspiration for the Excalibur. The museum also exhibited postwar vehicles that Stevens respected, including a 1954 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith town car. The collection would grow steadily over time, peaking at about seventy-five cars in the 1970s. Though the museum drew Stevens's attention (and resources) away from the design business, it did play an important role in inspiring his auto designs. It also served as a repository for the preservation of vehicles created by the firm, from a 1948 Jeepster and 1951 Kaiser to the 1961 Heli-bout and the Studebaker prototypes of the mid-1960s.
Adamson also notes that the museum for a period of time in the late 1980s served as the construction site for the Wienermobile fleet, and, perhaps most importantly, the curator of the museum in its later years was Alice Preston.
UPDATE (25.January 2011): Over on the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool, member gswetsky uploaded a few photos he took of the museum when it was still open.
UPDATE (26.January 2011): Still more photos of the museum from gswetsky!
UPDATE (27.January 2011): And a couple more.
photos from the new Harley-Davidson museum
While I was in Milwaukee in August, I had a chance to tour the new Harley-Davidson Museum which had just opened on July 12. A definite must-see if you are into motorcycles in general or Harleys in particular. My B-I-L and I took hundreds of pictures but only one made it to print (and that one wasn't ours but from H-D's media dept.) I'll post a few here that didn't make the cut.
Really neat display of early Harley board track racers and memorabilia

|Authentic Nude Female Wrestling Matches - The Loser Gets Violated Anyway The Winner Wants!
Watch The Lesbian Wrestling HERE!
What's a hot catfight without some delicious forced pussy licking, right? Two hot girls locked in some erotic lesbian grappling making each other TASTE and LICK their hot sweaty pussies till they CUM like a VOLCANO just makes it the BEST!!
"Alison always had a girl crush on her lovely friend Margie, so when they had a few drinks one night over at Alison's apartment, things started to get interesting. The girls started kissing amd nuzzling each other on the couch. Alison's pussy was getting SO wet. She seductively talked Margie into taking her top off and letting her see her pink nipples and nice firm breasts. This got Alison VERY hot and she started playfully teasing and pulling Margie's long hair..."
"Margie was a little shocked when she looked down and saw Alison wasn't wearing any panties! Her sweet little pussy was shaved (and looking like a little girl's bald vagina) and she was obviously getting hotter and wetter by the minute. Margie grabbed her friend's hair and asked her IF she was she sure she wanted to go any farther? Alison just whispered that she had always dreamed of this moment and wanted to take it slow..."
"FUCK THAT! Margie bellowed as she literally jammed her friend's face straight between her legs and demanded she lick her pussy NOW! Alison was shocked! She wanted to try lesbian sex, but being FORCED to lick Margie's pussy in such a degrading fashion was not quite what she had in mind. She tried to struggle but the delightful moist aroma of Alison's hot pussy was TOO arousing and she soon licked and licked at the throbbing pink clit and sucked on her wet pussy lips like she had been doing it all her life..."
"After being forced to lick pussy for a few minutes, Alison felt the lesbian desire welling up in her own loins and grabbed Margie by the hair and forced her to lick pussy! "Taste me, bitch!" She yelled "I want to feel your tongue fucking my cunt like a hard cock!" Alison felt the hot wetness of her girlfriend's shaved pussy grinding against her face as she tried to pull away. But Alison was too strong, she forced her friend's face harder and harder against her burning pussy!..."
"It felt SO good! Alison didn't care anymore or not if Margie actually enjoyed being forced to lick pussy, she was in Heaven feeling the young girl's hot tongue flicking against her throbbing clit and the sensation of her face jammed between her legs. She came again and again, smearing Margie's face with a glaze of searing hot gushing pussy juice! Margie was so aroused she came too, but when Alison demanded that she lick her tart brown asshole and taste her puckered anus she tried to pull back - YEAH RIGHT!...the erotic lesbian grappling was ON!"

For the last four years, Alamo Drafthouse programmer Zack Carlson has hosted a late-night horror movie celebration called Terror Tuesday and if you are a lover of horror, both esoterically brilliantly and obscurely awful, this night was invented just for you. The Terror Tuesday Report will dissect the movie shown as well as provide a barometer for the audience's reaction; as many of these films demand to be seen with an audience, this proves a vital component to the evening.
This week's film: Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except, directed by Josh Becker, 1985 The Film
Vietnam War hero Jack Stryker returns to his simple, rural existence after being wounded in battle. He struggles to find purpose outside of uniform and to reconnect with girl he left behind. When his former squadron happens to pass through his tiny hamlet, a giant, drunken reunion ensues. But underscoring all this frivolity is a sour note of terror. A violent cult, under the leadership of a demented maniac, is making their way across the state butchering decent folks left and right in some kind of bizarre ritual. When the war buddies encounter a campsite held hostage by this lunatic and his wacked-out followers, they decide to put a stop to this cult's reign ofterror...with extreme prejudice.
Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except was an enormous surprise. I must admit I had little to no anticipation going into this evening. Last week's Graduation Day was an absolute chore and prior to that we had had a long run of classics that consistently brought down the house. I was concerned that last week portended the onset of a rut in which we would be stuck until a more recognizable title rescued us. Not only was I wrong, but had I come armed with prior knowledge of the story behind this film, I would have been insanely excited to see Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except.
So there was this movie released in the early 80's with which some of you may be familiar called The Evil Dead. While Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi are the two guys from that project that rose to prominence, the fact of the matter is that The Evil Dead was such an indie passion project that the entire production team became something more akin to a family than a crew. As such, when Evil Dead soundman Josh Becker decided he too wanted to make a film, both Raimi and Campbell leapt at the chance to help. Bruce co-wrote the film and offered his mother's house and surrounding property which became the principal shooting location. For his part, Raimi accepted the role of the bugnuts cult leader. So it's by the same people that gave us The Evil Dead, staring Sam Raimi, and shot at Bruce Campbell's mom's house? How could you not be excited?
It doesn't hurt that Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except, despite its complete lack of budget, is a solid film. One of my favorite things in the world is when a dirt-cheap, bargain-basement production gets it right. No, it's not the greatest horror film of all time and honestly is not even a great horror film at all. But it is entertaining, legitimately creepy at times, and features strong characters that we actually give a crap about which is often not the case with low-budget films of any genre. I also love the fact that the central conceit of the film is that the only force strong enough to contend with the Manson family, would have been the A-Team. These guys come to together to right a wrong, face ridiculous odds, and even have their own B.A. Baracus! I also love that the snare-drum-infused score is always two notes away from launching into a rousing chorus of the A-Team theme song.
Sam Raimi turns in an impressive performance as the cult leader who is clearly modeled after Charles Manson. He starts off the film playing it straight and exhibiting such a wanton disregard for human life that his subsequent presence on the screen is terrifying. Admittedly he does get a bit sillier as the film progresses, but you never lose the confidence that he'd just as soon stab you in the eye socket as look at you. My favorite scene is the one in which he is doing some sort of strange yoga to the delight of his tripping cult members. It's funny that the murderous cult member distinction is expanded to include any and all hippies in order to create a satirical antithesis for a group of Vietnam vets. More than that, it's just fun to watch drugged-up, dirty Satanists get blown to bits.
I think the word satisfying adequately encapsulates Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except. You will probably go into it expecting nothing and be pleasantly surprised or you will read this and the film will deliver just as I promised. Either way by the time you get to the blood-soaked finale with the creative, if cheap, gore effects, you will be satisfied. The movie is far better than it has any right to be without once straying into pretention. After seeing it, I immediately went home and ordered the VHS!
The Reaction
Zack returned this week to intro the film and get us all in the appropriate mindset for Thou Shalt Not KiII...Except. When Zack posed the question to the audience as to how many had seen the film, I heard maybe two responses. This may have been the most unseen film to ever play Terror Tuesday. It didn't fail to please and the reaction to the vengeful violence from the Marines was deafening. At one point, when we thought one of the characters had died, there was a collective moan from the audience as I had not heard since we realized Joe Piscapo was alive in Dead Heat. This was both the perfect palate-cleanse from Graduation Day and the prefect prelude to next week's even more entertaining Humanoids from the Deep.

Barclays employee Lara Davies, of Barrowash, Derby, has been ordered by the Derby Crown Court to pay a total of £1925 ($3,087, 2,400 EUR) – representing a fine, victim surcharge and prosecution costs – after she illegally accessed the bank statements of her partner's ex-wife.
The unauthorized access came to light after eBay transactions were brought up at one of her partner's divorce hearings. That's when the ex-wife realized that something was amiss.
The woman was relieved of her duties at Barclays and fined, but the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) highlights the fact that the punishments are too mild for those who commit offense under section 55 of the Data Protection Act.
"High street bank staff have access to financial information on a day-to-day basis, and are expected to treat that privilege with professionalism. When that trust is abused, and the personal data they access is misused, the law is very clear, as this case has shown," UK Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham explained.
"The only surprise here is that – in an age where our personal information is being stored and accessed by more organisations than ever – the penalties for abusing the system are so inadequate."
Current legislation dictates that such crimes can be punished only with financial penalties, but the Information Commissioner believes that more effective punishments, including prison sentences, should be applied in order to discourage those who want to violate section 55 of the Data Protection Act of 1998.
"This case illustrates the need for more effective deterrent sentences to be available to the courts, as recommended most recently by Lord Justice Leveson. Unlawful access to personal information is all too easy and all too common - and these days it does not seem to have much to do with the press," Graham added.

Tommy Manzella was the Astros' starting shortstop last season and spent all but 11 games with Houston. The Astros signed Clint Barmes in the offseason, making things difficult for Manzella to make the club. Manzella was briefly recalled to major league camp after Barmes went down with an injury, but Angel Sanchez started the season as the Astros' shortstop. Manzella will start the season as the RedHawks' shortstop. Manzella spoke to The Oklahoman's Ryan Aber before their season starts Thursday in Memphis.

Alhambra PalaceRead MoreThe Moorish monarchs of Granada built a legendary palace and fortress known as Calat Alhambra, both to fortify their hold on Southern Spain and serve as center of art and culture. The palace, which has remained relatively unchanged over the centuries, captured the imagination of Chicagoan Dr. Nasar Rustom. He made many trips to the Middle East, North Africa, and southern Spain to obtain artifacts to fill his own recreation of Alhambra Palace, one that serves as a testament to the culture and cuisine of the Mediterranean region. Dr. Rustom recruited artisans from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Morocco design the interior of his new restaurant. The team built custom gilded doorways, hand-painted tiles, carved the furniture, and created the mosaics found around the multi-level dining room. Rustom went to equal lengths when creating an the menu, full of authentic flavors of kabobs, paella, and seasoned lamb. On top of the food and decor, Dr. Rustom added live entertainment, which includes international music, Latin, Swing, and belly dancing, and even dance lessons sure to charm a date or a stern loan officer .1240 W Randolph St.Chicago, IL US

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – One of the most common reasons for re-admission after a patient leaves the hospital is problems with medication. Either the patient isn't able to get the necessary prescription medications, or he or she doesn't fully understand how or when to take the medicine. Without that critical component of follow-up treatment, the patient may get sick again and need to return to the hospital.
Officials at Johnson City Medical Center (JCMC) are hoping to change all that. Last week, the hospital unveiled a new retail pharmacy in the main lobby of JCMC. HealthPlus & Pharmacy is open to patients, the public and MSHA team members, but its primary mission is to help patients make a smooth and safe transition from hospital to home by making sure they have all the medications and home care supplies they need in hand when they leave JCMC.
"This is all about patient safety and better quality care," said David Nicely, CEO of JCMC. "HealthPlus will make things more convenient for our patients, but mainly it will help them with their recovery process. If we can make it easier for patients to follow the proper medication plan, they'll get well sooner and be more likely to stay well."
Current regulations prevent inpatient hospital pharmacies from dispensing medication for patients to take home. In the past, that meant that a patient leaving the hospital had to make an extra stop at the pharmacy before heading home to recover. Exhausted patients and family members may not have the time or energy to consult with a pharmacist at that time in order to fully understand what has been prescribed or why.
To help make things easier for patients and families, HealthPlus & Pharmacy offers transition specialists who will meet with patients upon admission at no extra charge to tell them about their options and, if the patient chooses, help arrange for delivery of medications and home health supplies to the patient's room at discharge or even help load supplies into the car.
"There can be a lot to worry about when someone is being discharged from the hospital," said Susie Frank, director of HealthPlus & Pharmacy. "This service will help ease patients' concerns and ensure a smooth transition to home, where they can have a successful and safe recovery."
Mountain States Health Alliance (MSHA) plans to expand the service enterprise to other locations within the 13-hospital system. A second HealthPlus & Pharmacy is planned for Johnston Memorial Hospital (JMH) in Abingdon, Va., to be open in the fall. The HealthPlus & Pharmacy at JCMC will be open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Mountain States Health Alliance, a not-for-profit health care organization based in Johnson City, Tenn., operates a family of hospitals serving a 29-county, four-state region (Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, Southeastern Kentucky and Western North Carolina). MSHA offers a large tertiary hospital, several community hospitals, two critical access hospitals, rehabilitation, a children's hospital, a behavioral health hospital, home care and hospice services as well as a comprehensive medical management corporation. Its 13,500 team members, associated physicians and volunteers are committed to its mission of bringing loving care to health care. For more information, visit www.msha.com.

I've written a piece for Newsweek about how to program a cell. (The Newsweek International edition comes out this week; the US edition comes out next week.) I find the ongoing research exciting, but sometimes I wonder how much of its promise will become real. Programmable cells, for example, are an illustration of the exciting frontiers that can be explored with stem cells. It may be possible to wire the genetic circuits of a stem cell to make it grow into a particular sort of organ, produce a certain sort of hormone, etc. But it's hard to see how any of that will come to pass if stem cell research withers on the vine. And when I look elsewhere in this week's issue of Newsweek and see how we can't even handle flu vaccines, my hope for medical progress in general starts to dim.
Hope springs eternal, though.
Stem cell research is vital and needs to be fully distinguished from reproductive cloning and the experimental use of "waste" embryos from IVF. To clone a person's own cells and gather the stem cells needs to be seen as morally benign as tissue culture. No unique human life is lost in the process as there is no reproduction as we know it happening - no recombination etc etc that make unique zygotes. But if the religious right can get steamed up about the Pill causing zygotes not to implant, then I'm not sure how we can make them see this process in anything but a negative light.Posted by Adam on October 29, 2004 09:05 AM | Permalink to Comment

2012 Award Winners SUNDAY LUNCH OF THE YEAR AWARD 2012
'VM' Restaurant, Viewmount House, Longford
Everywhere we have travelled this year the story has been the same: while leisure business may be up and down according to variables such as shock-horror economic stories and fluctuating currency exchanges, which affect visitors' decisions to travel, the special family occasions - events like birthdays and anniversaries, weddings and even funerals – still go on regardless and have kept many a restaurant in business. Likewise, although spending on the big nights out may be down, Sunday Lunch is back with a vengeance for family get togethers.
But forget about the carvery lunch of old, what we're seeing more of now is a seriously classy outing, where the venue is chosen with care so that family members of all ages can get together in lovely surroundings and relax around the table to enjoy the very best of food at a more reasonable price than is usual at dinner.
Some of the best meals we have had this year were Sunday lunches – and not only does this new award recognise the special significance of family outings in these cash-strapped times, but our winner demonstrates how it can be done with great style and no compromise in quality, in terms of the food, cooking, surroundings or service, making it a benchmark award.
'VM' Restaurant at Viewmount House is one of those exceptional restaurants where any meal is a real treat - suppliers are credited with pride and the cooking, by Euro-Toques chef Gary O'Hanlon, is outstanding, with all the little niceties observed.
So any visit this delightful restaurant is sure to be a memorable experience – and guests should make sure to allow time to enjoy a stroll around the beautiful gardens too.

This has an excellent throw! I use ecosoya cb 135 wax 1oz/lb. Definitely ordering more
Submitted on 2015-09-17 Crystal
I didn't know what to think of this scent right out the bottle, a lil to whiskey scented for me, but once in a candle the apple really comes through. Used 1.5 oz of C3 soy wax to 1 lb of wax. Really nice scent once the candle cures.

Smells pleasantly of an old lady's house at Christmas time.
Submitted on 2015-05-23 Karen
I, and everyone I've gifted these candles to, adore the scent. However, it's definitely apple and maple, with no discernable bourbon scent. It would be great to have a strong, deep bourbon option, but this is still a very likeable scent that performs well in soy (10% in GB 464).
Submitted on 2015-05-16 Kristine
The apple smell is delightful. There is a light touch of maple but it is difficult to smell the bourbon. Either way this scent is comforting and sweet!
Submitted on 2015-04-08 Kathryn
I am NOT a fan of apple-cinnamon scents. At all. I can't stand them. I understand that other people like those scents, but they just grate on my senses. I got a small bottle of this based on the reviews, & was really hesitant, thinking it was going to be another apple-cinnamon thing. It's totally not!!!! I am only leaving 4 stars because I really really really love the scent of a good, caramel-y bourbon, & I wish this had a little more of that element, but it's still great. It's very warm & inviting. The apples, maple, & bourbon scent blend well together, none of them sticking out more than the other. I think people are going to love this one - so much better than just your boring drugstore sweet candle smells.
Submitted on 2014-12-18 Sunny
Received this as a Secret Santa gift from a friend who makes her own soy candles. I love it! It's apple-y, and I can smell the maple in the background, too. Not sure if I smell the bourbon, but it doesn't matter to me as it smells so wonderful that it makes me happy. It's a light sweet scent, not overpowering, but not weak in my opinion. I'm going to order some for myself so I can make my own candles!
Submitted on 2014-09-29 Aurora Borealis Candles
This is a huge hit with my customers compared to the Apple Orchard fragrance. This one is definitely a keeper, although I removed 1 star because I'd prefer it to have a slightly stronger bourbon fragrance.
Submitted on 2014-09-21 Candle Cottage
This is an awesome fragrance every time! If this one is not included in your fall scents you are missing the boat!!

My customers love this scent! I introduced it last fall and it has been a huge hit!
Submitted on 2013-11-26 Stacy
I bought this FO and used on my very first attempt in making soy candles. It's a nice scent I made a small batch and used about 2 of the 1oz cap fulls in my batch. The throw while mixing and cold is nice and pretty strong but during the burn test the throw was weak....which is nice for those with allergies or low tolerance for smells/scents. Doesn't really smell like apples to me but more cinnamon and bourbon, but still is a nice fall scent.
Submitted on 2013-02-23 a,c
I mixed this oil with Macintosh apple and caramelized pralines. It made a WONDERFUL caramel apple. Strong scent throw both hot and cold. I used GB464 in a 4 in container and used 3- eco 4 wicks. perfect burn and pool.
Submitted on 2010-10-17 Disappointed
I was a little bit disappointed in this scent. I ordered this for my sis-n-law. She liked the scent a little more than I did. Not her favorite, but definitely not her most unfavorite either. In my opinion the apple scent overpowers the maple boubon scent. I really just smell a green appley scent. I probably will only order more if requested by a customer. There are a lot of other scents that I like better. It does have a great hot and cold throw if you love apples.
Submitted on 2010-03-24 Krystina
Strong aple and bourbon influence. Unique and sultry.

I loved this fragrance, but it was weaker than the others I ordered. I would use it again but would use more than 1 oz/lb.

This is a very awesome fragrance. Mixed with Strudel Spice, it is a very nice Apple Pie. Better than this and cinnamon stick(apple cinnamon).Granted apple cinnamon is a different set of cutomers.

The Mission of the Environmental Water Caucus is to achieve comprehensive, sustainable water management solutions for all Californians. EWC and its members employ political, legal and economic strategies to restore ecological health, improve water quality and protect public trust values throughout the San Francisco Bay-Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta estuary and the Central Valley/Sierra Nevada watersheds.
The EWC was formed in 1991. Active members include most groups advocating for equitable and sustainable California water resource use. The major policies advocated by the EWC are described in the "Strategic Goals and Recommended Actions" of the EWC California Water Solutions Now report and in the actions described in the updated solutions plan titled "A Sustainable Water Plan for California."
Zeke Grader, the Executive Director of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations (PCFFA) was a defender of fish, fishing communities, and the Bay-Delta Estuary. He will be missed. Read his obituary here.Environmental Groups Blast Delta Tunnels Plan
On July 22, a coalition of California conservation groups Including the Environmental Water Caucas, warned state and federal regulators that the rush to approve the construction of Governor Brown's massive water diversion tunnels under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta violates a multitude of state and federal laws. The groups argued that the state and federal agencies have ignored repeated requests to develop and consider real alternatives, including those that increase freshwater flows through the Delta, in order to "stack the deck" making it easier to adopt the Water Tunnels alternative. Read the letter here.Groups Demand More Time for Review of Jerry Brown's Delta Tunnels Plan
On July 16, a broad coalition of environmental and community organizations and California Indian Tribes demanded more time for the public to consider the controversial -- and widely-criticized -- public works project. In a letter sent to the Department of the Interior, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, California Natural Resources Agency, and the California Department of Water Resources, the groups and Tribes decried the accelerated 45-day public comment period and seek an extension to a standard 120-day comment period that will close on November 14, 2015. The EWC is one of the signees to the letter. See the full article here.Federal biologists slam proposal to raise Shasta Dam
Biologists at the main federal agency that oversees the Endangered Species Act have concluded they cannot endorse a $1.1 billion plan to raise the height of the dam at California's largest reservoir, Shasta Lake, because of its impact on endangered salmon. In a 349-page draft report completed in late November, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concluded that it is "unable to support" any of the project's five options being considered. See the Mercury News story, January 27, 2015.EWC states its opposition to H.R. 5781, the so-called "Federal Drought Bill"
The EWC urges a no vote on H.R. 5781, to avoid harming rural, agricultural, fishing, and tribal communities. In a 12/5/2014 letter to Senators Feinsein and Boxer, the EWC states its opposition to fast-tracking export of more Delta water in the short term to select interests of the San Joaquin Valley.The increased exports will neither make it rain more nor provide immediate drought relief supplies to communities in need there.The EPA Blasts the Draft EIS for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan
The Environmental Protection Agency's 8/26/2014 comment letter on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan found that the plan could violate the federal Clean Water Act and increase harm to endangered fish species.EWC Calls BDCP Plan for the Twin Tunnels Misleading and Disingenuous
The EWC characterizes the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) and EIR/EIS which have been seven years in the making, as contrary to law, full of cherry-picked science and biased analysis, lacking in assurances for Delta ecosystem and fish recovery, and without a required plan for financing the $50 to $60 billion costs, a good share of which will be shifted to the public taxpayer. In our press release and comment letter, and supplemental comments, the EWC tells BDCP that it is not a legal document and that the plan cannot go forward.Support for Wild & Scenic River Status For the Mokelumne River
The EWC and its affiliated organizations are supporting SB 1199 by state Senator Loni Hancock to grant 37 miles of the Mokelumne River state Wild & Scenic status. See the EWC support letter.Censored BDCP Comment Letters
Friends of the River (FoR) was able to obtain the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) public comments that the BDCP is no longer posting on their web site. Those letters are now posted at FoR's web site.Dams are NOT the Answer to Drought
See the latest on real drought responses from the EWC. And take a look at the EWC's Drought Response Principles and Actions.Opposition to HR 3964
HR 3964, the Son of HR 1837, is worse than the original bill and definitely not a drought response. See the EWC press release, and opposition letter.Shasta Reservoir Study is a Sham
The Bureau of Reclamation has published a plan to increase the storage capacity of Shasta Reservoir by raising the dam height 18.5 feet, according to their recently released Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The California Environmental Water Caucus finds the project to be a waste of the $1.2 billion cost. It would provide little additional water yield for an exorbitant price tag and would be a travesty for American taxpayers. See our comments submitted September 30, 2014, and the press release.

Marble Museum moves forward with plans to closeStaff Report | December 03,2012STAFF REPORT
The owners of the Vermont Marble Museum indicated Monday that they will move forward with plans to close the museum now that an effort to find a buyer for the museum had failed.
The Preservation Trust of Vermont came up short in its effort to raise $880,000 to buy the Proctor museum that chronicled the history of the Vermont Marble Company.
Faced with an end of the year deadline, the nonprofit historical group was able to raise only $200,000 toward its goal.
The Preservation Trust came forward this summer with the fundraising offer after the owners announced they would close the museum at the end of the year.
Marsha and Martin Hemm said in an email that they and their employees "are very saddened that we are not able to continue on the road that we had planned with the Preservation Trust. But we are extremely appreciative for the immense amount of work that they did on behalf of the museum and the collection."
The Hemms said they would continue their "efforts to find the proper homes for the museum records and artifacts."
The museum's gift shop remains open part time most days during the Christmas season.MORE IN This Just In

Mammography is an x-ray examination of the breast. There are two types of mammography. Screening mammography detects breast disease in a woman who does not have any symptoms. Diagnostic mammography is used to help make a diagnosis in a woman who has breast complaints such as a lump or an abnormality that was discovered during a screening mammogram.
Calcification in the breast - what does it mean?
Calcifications are tiny deposits of calcium within the breast that appear as white dots on mammograms (see Figure 1). While most calcifications are non-cancerous, some are associated with breast cancer.
Non-cancerous causes of calcifications
There are many non-cancerous causes of calcium in the breast including:
Determining whether calcifications are cancerous
A mammogram can often accurately diagnose most calcium deposits as either cancerous or benign. The in-between varieties require additional mammograms, which are sometimes taken at different angles than the standard one, often with magnification.
Sometimes a technique called "spot compression" is used to squeeze only a part of the breast. Although spot compression is more uncomfortable than the full-breast device used for the routine pictures, the slightly greater discomfort is worth the greater detail that becomes visible on the mammogram.
If there is breast cancer, a calcification may occur along with a lump, or on its own which can be due to non-invasive "in situ" cancer. With this type of cancer, the cancer cells are located inside the milk duct - they have not yet invaded through the wall of the duct.
If the radiologist believes that the calcification is highly likely to be non-cancerous, a biopsy (removal of a tiny piece of tissue for examination) is usually not needed. However, follow-up mammograms are often recommended within six months to confirm that cancer is not present. If there is even a small chance that a cancer is present, the radiologist will recommend that some of the calcium be removed and checked by a needle biopsy or surgery.

Arroyo celebrates 67th birthday today-A A +A
Friday, April 4, 2014
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Former President and now Pampanga second district Representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will celebrate her 67th birthday Sunday and the entire weekend in the company of relatives, friends, colleagues from the House of Representatives, spiritual advisers and other close allies.
This, after the anti-graft court granted Mrs. Arroyo's petition to allow her loved ones to visit and stay at her Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) suite in Quezon City starting 9:00 a.m. Friday to 9:30 p.m. of April 6, Sunday.
Ferdinand Topacio, Arroyo's spokesperson, said that aside from immediate family -- former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, children Mikey, Luli and Dato who will sleep over at VMMC -- the former President's classmates at Assumption College, her former Cabinet members, former colleagues at the Senate, and current colleagues at the House of Representatives will be among the 50 guests approved by the Philippine National Police for visits on her birthday.
Topacio added that her children and their respective families are expected to fully make use of the extended visiting hours allowed by the Sandiganbayan during the birthday weekend of the Kapampangan lawmaker.
He said that Arroyo's doctors and spiritual advisers, including her recent VIP visitors will send representatives during the weekend celebration where food will be potluck.
"The court granted Mrs. Arroyo's request for her family to sleep there. I am sure there will be a thanksgiving mass on Saturday," said Topacio.
From the Palace: 'Happy Birthday!'
Meanwhile, Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr., in a press briefing, said that Malacañang had sent Mrs. Arroyo its wishes for her birthday.
"We want to greet her a happy birthday, and we hope that she will be happy celebrating it, along with her loved ones," Coloma said.
A similar arrangement was allowed by the court for Arroyo's Yuletide holidays in 2013.
Mrs. Arroyo's 67th birthday celebration is her third in confinement, after she was re-arrest in 2012 and detained for a non-bailable plunder charge in connection with the alleged misuse of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office intelligence funds.
Complications from a cervical spine surgery forced her hospital arrest. Earlier, Mrs. Arroyo's doctors opined that spending time with her family, relatives and friends will be good for the former President.
Her last medical bulletin submitted to the anti-graft court reported that her health condition continues to deteriorate due to recurrent dysphagia or difficulty in swallowing food.

Eco NYC. [comments will be added in]
I'm a Coloradoan. But half my family, my daddy's side, is from NYC. I lived in Vermont and Boston for 13 years, and made a habit of visiting my uber New Yorker Uncle Jeff just as often as I could. He lived in Chelsea—not the one you see in Sex & the City episodes, all glam and fabulous—but a cramped, handsome yet dingy and fairly ordinary tree-lined street. He'd lived in NYC forever—he was the best guide ever, taking me to White Horse Tavern and John's Pizzeria and gajillions of other spots he loved. Broadway, Empire State Building, Public Library, the Met…
On my visits these days, as a Buddhist eco boy, I've fallen for a few very different sort of spots:
A. Mindfullest Cafes: S'nice: If you want good veggie food, good music, hipsters galore, good coffee, wireless and a comfortable table from which to run your half-baked media empire, S'nice is verrry niiice, I liiike it a very much! 45 Eight Ave (at West 4th St).
B. Slow Foodiest Hipster Eateries: Diner, just a block or so shy of the Williamsburg Bridge. On my last visit, I went there three times in five days. I miss it all the time. Good, local food. Hip, lovely, Brooklyn waiters/waitresses/clientele. No sign. They butcher their own meat, if you go in for the stuff. Cafe Habana is so eco, their url is ecoeaterydotcom. I didn't get into it, but everyone local seems to love it so maybe it was the company I kept, that night (an ex-love). They blend their margaritas via bike, it's hip and colorful and probably wind-powered and shiite. Blah blah blah. Comment why you love it, I was only there once, but it's gotta be a must-stop for eco-responsible turistas everywhere. Pure Food & Wine: I only went for drinks with a bunch of palz before running over to a Breast Cancer benefit hosted by Pangea Organics at ABC Home. I also checked out the East Village's Angelica's Kitchen, lovely and romantic. You can find info re it and a bunch of other organic/vegan type eateries here. Others: Also, here are a few restaurants: Caravan of Dreams (east village) Organic Grill (east village); Grey Dog's Café (West Village) (212) 462 0041; Souen (Union Square) Bliss Café (Williamsburg, 718) 599-2547); there was also a place in Fort Greene I loved called Smooch.
C: Yoga Studios/Meditation Centers/Churches: I love the NYC Shambhala Center, it's like a refuge in the scary, non-stop metropolis/state of mind that is NYC. Om Yoga. Virayoga. There's many other brilliant yoga studios and mediation spots, and churches, but as this cowboy hasn't been to 'em—please comment and include wwweb site.
D. Bike Rental/Buy: Craigslist, or rent a bike affordably…where? I dunno.
E. Grocery shopping: farmers' markets (of course there's a well known one in Union Square). Whole Foods. What else?
Oh, not much of a Bonus, but here's a video I put together, badly, after my last visit, too long ago. Skip to 2 minutes in:

3 Responses to "Eco NYC. [comments will be added in]"
Oh how to comment when I'm homesick for NYC!I'll follow Waylon's lead but focusing on my favorite spots near my old home in Brooklyn:
A. S'nice is great, and also just opened a new Park Slope location this summer, at 5th Avenue and 3rd Street. My favorite spot for just coffee however will always be Gorilla (www.gorillacoffee.com), woman owned, all fair trade, much of it organic, and all of the tea organic as well, on 5th Ave at Park Place, a blissful 2 blocks from my old apartment. Now that was nice. I couldn't find their site as they are newly opened, but Organic Heights on Bergen St. between 5th Ave and Flatbush Ave has good organic take-away and a full fridge of Guayaki bottled mate. My organic juice spot was also Urban Spring in Ft. Greene, muffins are also incredibly good and look their website is as gorgeous as their interior (www.urbanspring.net).
B. A very good synopsis of eateries, Candle Cafe and Candle 79 (www.candlecafe.com) are mainstays, and newbies Blossom (www.blossomnyc.com) and Gusto (www.gustoorganics.com) I have eaten at and loved. It's notable that Gusto (on 6th ave near 14th St., not to be confused with another restaurant in the West Village) is the first certified organic restaurant in the city.
Some of my favorite spots in Brooklyn however are Franny's on Flabush Ave. for sustainable pizza (www.frannysbrooklyn.com), Park Slope's Applewood for a restaurant that's devoted to local farmers (www.applewoodny.com), and if you just want to support a long-time local spot? Hit Tom's in Prospect Heights at 782 Washington Avenue, the kindest owner, and been there since way before Brooklyn became the coolest spot on earth. And yes I do love Habana, but the outpost in Ft. Greene is for me, never hit the one in the city. The mojitos and magaritas I think are expensive, but you can get a cheap local beer. Which is what I'd do with friends after work in the summer. I do like the eco decor and the local vibe, but perhaps like many things it is about the company. Oh and the Sunday night movies there are so fun! Goonies! Two more: for an after-dinner treat, hit either Blue Marble on Atlantic Avenue for organic ice cream (www.bluemarbleicecream.com) or Oko also on 5th in the Slope for local frozen yogurt in compostable containers (www.okoyogurt.com).
C. I can also add that the kirtan at Integral Yoga is wonderful (www.iyiny.org), especially when Kamaniya comes to town! Joan Suvall also of Ananda Ashram, also leads Satsang every first Wednesday evening of the month at 7:30 at the Arch Space on W. 39th Street (www.thearch.us). I always found it comforting to see her in the city when I couldn't make it up the ashram (www.anandaashram.org).
D. Recycle-A-Bicycle is worth adding here, both the non-profit's educational initiatives and retail stores as well (www.recycleabicycle.org)
E. Park Slope Food Co-op forever. Yes, I'm that big of a fan (www.foodcoop.com). There's also Brooklyn's central farmers market at Grand Army Plaza every Saturday.
One final addition (although I'm sure I forgot so many good spots!) is the newly launched Brooklyn Flea (www.brooklynflea.com). Of all the things I could have done on my last day in Brooklyn before moving, this was it, strolling with friends looking at all of the great vintage finds, and finishing up with a Blue Marble ice cream cone. Heaven.
[…] RMI and others talk about how to take the Empire State Building—that gorgeous symbol of NYC, this international monument to American business—where my grandpa had an office back in the […]
only the The significant question is, Who this the Mangshan ghosting door of the ancestors do not know, I'm afraid that 12 cents of gold in order to understand the inside story.
Addition to the character world clock off, which is one from the reasons why Turkey doorway debilitating. Later, these angel-class people plus from another sector supernatural power to move mountains turn Yue moved to may be ordinary people living while in the Kunlun community, this selection between this spiritual roots of folks from all passed along these martial art!

|The Game Story:
|HOBOKEN, N.J. (March 7, 2010) � The No. 17 Stevens Institute of Technology men�s lacrosse team defeated Springfield College, 10-4, on Sunday evening at the De Baun Athletic Complex thanks to a spirited second-half performance and superb defense. The Ducks turned a 1-1 tie at the end of the first half into a 4-1 lead in just 4:09 as they improve to 4-0 on the season. Stevens was led by junior goalkeeper Dave Decker's14 saves, and junior Zach McHugh's two goals, five caused turnovers, four ground balls.
Junior Chris Laurita put the Ducks up 4:56 into the game with a tally thanks to a nice pass from senior captain Bobby Steinhauser, but that would be the only goal the Ducks could muster over the first 30 minutes and the two teams went into the locker room tied at one. Decker made eight saves in the first half, and his counterpart sophomore Marc Martinez (Babylon, N.Y.) stopped seven shots.
The Ducks came out in the second and looked like a new team. Sophomore Kevin Rose broke the tie 1:26 into the third quarter, and 55 seconds later, junior Taylor Brown made it 3-1 with his second goal of the season. Laurita�s second goal of the contest and 10th of the season came with 10:51 remaining in the third to put Stevens up by three and it was smooth sailing for the Ducks from then on.
With 5:34 to go in the third, McHugh went coast-to-coast after picking up a ground ball for his first of the year and sophomore Alex Hofrichter made it 6-1 Ducks after a nice feed from Laurita. On the play, Decker made a pass the length of the field to Laurita in the right corner and the junior found a cutting Hofrichter open in front for the pretty goal.
Springfield (2-2) got its first goal of the half and second of the game one minute later, but Hofrichter and Rose tallied early in the fourth to put the game away.
The Pride controlled the face-ff �x,� winning 14-of-18. Junior Mark Eaton (Westford, Mass.) won all 14. The two teams each took 33 shots, but Springfield committed 33 turnovers compared to just 23 for Stevens. The Ducks ended the contest with a 23-18 edge in ground balls and converted 21-of-28 clears. Springfield was 18-for-27 on clear attempts.
Laurita paced the Ducks� offense with five points on two goals and three assists. He also picked up three ground balls and caused a turnover. Sophomore Jake Messimer picked up four ground balls and junior Ted Pfeifer caused three turnovers in what was a dominant defensive performance by the Stevens back line. Hofrichter tallied a team-high three goals.
The Pride were led by senior Joe Macchi (Mahopac, N.Y.) and his two goals. Martinez ended the game with 11 saves.
Stevens will return to action on March 13 at 1 p.m. when it hosts Lynchburg College at the De Baun Athletic Complex. For those unable to attend, the game will be webcast live at www.PennAtlantic.com.

Well, it is official. According to C|Net News, XM Radio has withdrawn their PC hardware version from the market as a response to the software known as NeroSoft TimeTrax, which permitted people to record from XM Radio to MP3 (XM Radio pulls PC hardware amid piracy concerns). TimeTrax has previously been featured here on Hatch's Hit List (Hatch's Hit List #30 - XM Radio to MP3).
Interestingly, according to the article, pulling the hardware off the market was not done at the behest of the RIAA:
"We are very concerned about a variety of technologies that essentially transform performances into music libraries," RIAA spokesman Steve Marks said. "We have communicated our concerns to XM and other broadcasters and Webcasters, (and told them) that we'd like to work together with them to address technologies that hijack these performances."Sounds like Stockholm Syndrome to me:
Marks said the RIAA wasn't behind the discontinuation of the PCR.
"We've raised the concern generally," he said. "They've obviously decided to take this action on their own. We've identified for them the potential problems."
The Stockholm syndrome is a psychological state in which the victims of a kidnapping, or persons detained against their free will - prisoners - develop a relationship with their captor(s). This solidarity can sometimes become a real complicity, with prisoners actually helping the captors to achieve their goals or to escape police.UPDATE 1955 PT
Educated Guesswork (Death to XM TiVo):
OK, I can totally understand the objection that people will use this to build a local library of songs--not that I think that should be illegal, but I understand it--but this last paragraph is, as far as I can tell, total nonsense. The gating factor in song availability over KaZaA is unlikely to be the ability to get a ripped version of the song. It's not like there's any shortage of consumers with Britney Spears CDs and CD-ROM drives. In fact, I would expect the availability if this sort of technology to decrease the amount of file sharing by making it easier to collect a library of known-to-be-correct songs.Indeed, and even if your rip the songs, won't you still be paying subscription fees?
Techdirt (Is XM Bending Over Backwards To Make Satellite Radio Less Useful?):
It's quite a world when it's considered a problem that someone has made your service more useful. The note at Broadband Reports also claims that XM is considering removing USB ports from future equipment for the same reason. Both of these seem unconfirmed at the moment, so it would be nice if there were some real confirmation on either rumor. However, the satellite radio business is in a tough position. For all the success they've been claiming in signing up customers, they're nowhere near profitability. Their capital costs are incredibly high, and the thing they need, more than anything else, is more subscribers. Shutting down tools that make their offering more compelling just means they're making their job that much more difficult.
One of the stunning things in he case of TimeTrax is that it only records the analog output of the XM receiver yet the industry acts like it records perfect copies. This degraded signal is clearly the kind of home recording that is permitted by radio listeners. Since TimeTrax does not record perfect serial copies, the industry over reaction clearly shows that the industry does not support existing analog copy usage. Because TimeTrax is a recording of an analog signal, and since the Grokster decision narrowed contributory infringement XM can only sue TimeTrax for violating the EULA. Even that is a stretch.

Let's call it the men's erotic underwear liberation movement. It's slowly taking hold, in big cities and small towns across the country; the idea that it's perfectly acceptable for guys to get a little frisky with their shorts. For years, erotic underwear has been a woman's domain- but no more! I present to you, the leaders of the men's panty party:
The Thong/G String: Once considered the most risqué of all men's underwear, these bad boys were relegated to bachelorette parties and parades in San Francisco. Today, the thong (and his close cousin, the G String) can be found on male bottoms in boardrooms, bedrooms and gyms everywhere.
Lifters/ Enhancers: Women have wonder bras. Now, guys can enjoy their own version of deceptive advertising with lifting and enhancing unmentionables. These sexy skivvies come in styles that range from discreet to downright prominent, giving your pocket rocket more thrust and liftoff with every step. (Try them on the dance floor for a guaranteed partner with every tune)
Barely There Britches: For the ultimate erotic underwear experience, slip into something with a little- or in some cases a lot- less fabric all together. Bungees, slingshots, and tear-aways are all men's underpants styles that put your goodies on display, up front and center.
And don't forget, gentlemen, as you explore the naughty underwear world to look into uncharted territory. Sure, you might not normally consider leather or satin as an underwear choice, but why not give it a shot? Who knows…you may just find a new favorite to replace your Chester Cheetah boxers.

About Me Advanced
I bought the boys size because I could not find it in girls at the last minute. I love buying from EVO! Never any problem! I had the same pants in girls that I bought a couple years ago in off-white, and still wearing them. Wanted a black pair. The youth size fits perfect! I am not walking on the hem or catching them in my bindings. I am in my 50's but 5'2" and 115 lbs. The waist is a little high but I can count on no snow up my back. They are very comfortable and no problem keeping warm even when it was around 20 degrees wearing a base layer with them. Plus, I love the knee pocket!
