Pond & Lake Q & A
Q: What can I do to keep my pond clear? – Kara of Florida
A: When I ask my service customers what their top three goals are for their pond, clear water is almost always at the top of the list. Clear water is aesthetically pleasing and is a sign that your pond is healthy and balanced. Across the board, your first step towards clean and clear water is to aerate.
Airmax® Aeration keeps the water in motion, allowing it to stay oxygenated while venting toxic gasses and clearing the water. Beyond aeration, there are a few easy steps to follow to clear up that water:
Start by finding the source of the problem. Dip a clear glass of water out of your pond and begin the diagnosis. Match what you see to the following problem/solution.
- Pea Soup Colored Water: This is typically caused by a heavy bloom of planktonic algae. When treating for planktonic algae you must be very careful. Treating too big of an area at any one time could cause oxygen levels to deplete to a point where your fish could die. We highly recommend to have an aeration system running when treating for this type of algae. To help with this issue in the future, you must limit the nutrients that are entering the pond. Do this by limiting organics such as grass clippings, twigs, leaves, branches, etc. from entering the pond. Be careful of fertilizing around your pond as this too will cause algae blooms. Using EcoBoost™ will help bind any nutrients currently in the pond and begin using PondClear™ or MuckAway™ natural bacteria to help break down any organics that have already gotten into the pond. These bacteria work by eating any suspended nutrients and bottom muck in the pond to help keep your pond clean and clear.
- Milky Gray or Chocolate Milk Colored Water: Most often this problem is caused by heavy runoff laden with silt and sediment. Aeration will typically take care of this problem within a week or two. If the problem persists, the soil in the water is probably clay. In this situation, apply a double dose of EcoBoost™ to try and help flocculate the suspended particulates.
- Stained Brown/Black Like Tea or Coffee Colored Water: This color water is usually a result of heavy leaf litter on the pond's bottom. When leaves sit for long periods of time, they can release tannins into the water column causing brown/black colored water. Use a Lake Rake to rake out the bulk of the material, and follow up with MuckAway™ to help accelerate the decomposion of the remaining leaves. As always, we recommend to aerate.
The recurring theme that we see here is that aeration is key when trying to solve pond problems. In nearly every case, your pond will greatly benefit from the use of Airmax® Aeration System. Aeration Systems will help create an environment for aerobic bacteria (like bacteria found in PondClear™ or MuckAway™) to thrive. This aerobic bacteria will decompose organics at accelerated speeds and will help reduce the sediment at the pond's bottom.

A Unique Tour of Dodger Stadium – Mark Langill
Most tours of Dodger Stadium include the familiar storylines of Sandy Koufax, Kirk Gibson, Tommy Lasorda and Fernandomania. But for a group of Chinese athletes traveling around Southern California this month, a visit to the ballpark meant taking pictures and discovering the basic mechanics of baseball. For example, Dodger Stadium's seating capacity is 56,000; more than 122 million fans have visited since the ballpark opened in 1962; the regular season runs from April through September; the playoffs are in October; the ballplayers are currently training in Florida.
Yesterday's tour began on the Club Level and the group gazed at the last stages of construction and the installation of the box seats. When I mentioned that all 50,000 seats were taken out during the offseason and replaced, someone asked, "Does that happen every year?" Actually, the seats were last replaced 30 years ago, which might give Vice President of Stadium Operations Lon Rosenberg a chance to recover from an exhausting and challenging assignment.
The boxers in the group were interested to learn Dodger Stadium once hosted a series of championship fights in 1963. Shang Yingqiu of the Beijing Sports University is a basketball player and vice professor and team leader of the Chinese rhythmic sportive gymnastics. Her favorite player is Michael Jordan. Basketball at Dodger Stadium? The Harlem Globetrotters played an exhibition game in 1964 as a full-size regulation court was placed on the infield in the same location as the boxing ring.
The many photos on the walls bridged the language barrier, whether showing the action of a Dodger ballgame or musical concerts such as Elton John and Bruce Springsteen. The Olympic theme also surfaced with photos from when the Dodgers played at the Los Angeles Coliseum from 1958-61. The Coliseum was the site of the opening ceremonies in both the 1932 and 1984 Olympics. Dodger Stadium hosted the first Olympic baseball tournament in 1984.
Probably the most popular item on the tour was the original bullpen cart from 1969, restored a few years ago by Rosenberg when he found the main components in storage. The baseball-shaped cart, with an oversized "LA" cap as the roof and braced by two baseball bats, transported pitchers from the bullpen to the pitcher's mound during Dodger games. Later, it was replaced by a Dodger-decorated automobile. The cart is on display just outside the Stadium Operations office on the Club Level. You can't explain to all groups that the cart was used in an era when starting pitchers went at least seven innings and the "bullpen by committee" had not yet gained popularity among managers. So on this day, it was easier to sit back and watch the smiles as the athletes took turns posing for pictures behind the steering wheel.

Was that a special tour only for groups? i thought there were no tours during the offseason.
When I went to the WIN event on February 6th, I noticed a tour bus parked by the Top of the Park. I thought the people were just there to visit the gift shop since the fence was all around but we took a peek at the seats and they look beautiful. Can't wait for Opening Day!
Do you ever visit the forum and if so have you checked the thread "This Day in Baseball History?" I mainly post there.
Emma (crzblue)
I wasn't on the plane when MY Dodgers moved to L.A., but my heart was!
I am still a Dodger fan, but also a Yankee fan & if they meet in the World Series will,of course, root for MY Dodgers.
A Dodger & Yankee fan -"1 in a million"?
now that the names on the jerseys is settled i would like to know why the spring training games are not broadcast live during the week
Meet y'all over here later this evening.
Later, what do you mean, later?! We need you now!
Boy, what a difference a day makes. Too bad we can't give Kersh some run support.
Crap…now, we are in deep poop!
Damn, we got screwed by that ump!
These are the type games that keep me from proclaiming Kersh is an ace.
Not one of his best games but, we aren't exactly ripping the cover off the ball.
Well, think I'll move along. I'm damn sure there's nothing to see here tonight from these losers.
lol at the beachball at Anaheim Stadium.
That Angels scorekeeper must be a joke. Why Miles didn't get charge an error on that Bourjos bunt when Miles miss the base? If Kershaw got the DP on that bunt by Mathis and k's Izturis that should've been the 3rd outs and those 3 runs should've not had score. When the Angels score there 2nd/3rd runs when Wells hit that homeruns that should've been 2 unearned runs.
C. Kershaw 6.0 9 7 6 1 10 1 1.06 3.23
I guess the Angels scorekeeper opponent have Kershaw on his fantasy team.

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Hillary Clinton is up with a new TV ad in Wisconsin -- this one questioning why Obama has not agreed to debate her in Wisconsin.
"Maybe he'd prefer to give speeches than have to answer questions," an announcer says in the ad. "Like why Hillary Clinton has the only health care plan that covers every American, and the only economic plan that freezes foreclosures."
Somewhere, John Spencer -- Clinton's 2006 Senate opponent -- is still asking for more debates.

Issuing a new threat to North Korea, President Donald Trump demanded that North Korea "get their act together" or face extraordinary trouble. He said his previous warning of "fire and fury" if Pyongyang threatened the U.S. again might have been too soft.
"Maybe that statement wasn't tough enough," Trump said on Thursday.
Trump, speaking to reporters from the New Jersey golf resort where he's vacationing, said North Korea had been "getting away with a tragedy that can't be allowed." Still, he declined to say whether the U.S. was considering a pre-emptive military strike, arguing that his administration never discusses such deliberations publicly.
Trump's comments were his first since North Korea reacted to his "fire and fury" threat by announcing a detailed plan to launch a salvo of ballistic missiles toward the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam, a major military hub and home to U.S. bombers. Trump said it was time that somebody stood up to the pariah nation.
On Friday, Trump offered his reassurances to the residents of Guam, saying he feels they will be "very safe" despite North Korea's threats.
"North Korea better get their act together or they are going to be in trouble like few nations have ever been in trouble," Trump said, flanked by Vice President Mike Pence. "It may very well be tougher than I said."
Trump said the U.S. "of course" would always consider negotiations with North Korea, but added that negotiations with the North have failed for the last 25 years. He accused his predecessors of failing to effectively address the North Korea problem.
Alluding to the threats against Guam, Trump said if North Korea took any steps to even think about an attack, it would have reason to be nervous.
"Things will happen to them like they never thought possible, OK?" Trump said. Of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Trump added: "He's been pushing the world around for a long time."
Trump also suggested that the Senate's top Republican should step aside if he can't pass Trump's legislative agenda.
He said, "You can ask the question" about whether Majority Leader Mitch McConnell should remain in his position if he cannot pass a plan to repeal and replace health care, change the tax code and move an infrastructure proposal.
Trump has been sniping at McConnell for several days on Twitter, a reaction to McConnell's earlier remarks that the president was new to Washington and doesn't realize how difficult it is to pass legislation.

The errors and mistakes of past centuries, culminating in the recent world war and our present problems, are the joint errors and mistakes of humanity as a whole. This recognition will lead to the establishing of the principle of sharing, so needed in the world today.
There are no problems and conditions which cannot be solved by the will-to-good. Goodwill nourishes the spirit of understanding and fosters the manifestation of the principle of cooperation. This cooperative spirit is the secret of all human relations and the enemy of competition.
There is a blood relationship between all people which, when recognised, dissolves all barriers and ends the spirit of separativeness and hate. The peace and happiness of each is the concern, therefore, of all. This develops the principle of responsibility and lays the foundation of right corporate action.
These are basic beliefs of the men and women of goodwill and provide the incentive to all service and action. These three practical and scientific truths embody the three basic facts and the initial acceptance of all world servers. They are contrary to no world position, subversive of no government or religious attitude and are innate in the consciousness of all human beings, evoking immediate response. Their acceptance will 'heal' international sores.
We are living in one of the major transition periods of all human experience.This transition is so general that it involves changes in every department of human affairs and thought and is producing fundamental modifications in people's attitudes to life itself. Not only are we changing the physical world, but we are slowly transmuting and altering the quality of our desires and profoundly altering our ideas about science, education, religion and government as well as our standards of social betterment and security.
Every transition period is inevitably one of struggle and difficulty, but it is also one of great opportunity. And since the transition today affects the entire human family in every part of the world, it is basically the day of opportunity for every one of us. Suffering and difficulty is universal but human progress and achievement is being made along every line.
The record of human history has been largely one of greed and aggression, of selfishness and ambition, and no race, nation or group is exempt from this indictment. Today, as humanity approaches maturity, the conflict between selfish values, attitudes and ways of life on the one hand, breeding hatred, differences and separation, and the better ways of goodwill and understanding, cooperation and sharing on the other, becomes acute. The struggle is long and hard, and the end is not yet in sight. But there are many powerful indications that good will triumph.
The Need for Goodwill
There are many different qualities and energies impinging on human consciousness today, producing both constructive and destructive effects. The most needed, if we are to move safely into the new age, is the energy of goodwill.The best-laid plans fail if those who implement them lack goodwill to one another.
Without goodwill, conferences are empty of any real and lasting results. The existence of a spirit of goodwill is an essential pre-requisite for the creative solution of the many problems of humanity. Goodwill is the common platform on which all races and creeds can meet.
Hope lies in the fact that goodwill is far more widespread throughout the world than is recognised. The spirit of goodwill is present in millions of people, and it evokes a sense of responsibility. Men and women of goodwill will sense this new world responsibility and seek to undertake their share. They think increasingly in terms of the whole and their influence is growing as a positive force for good. It is upon this steadily growing goodwill that the hope of the world is based. It is found in the membership of every group which exists for world betterment. It constitutes an unused power which has never yet been organised as a world force.
If the men and women of goodwill in the world are to grasp their present opportunity they must deepen their understanding of this energy they possess, and understand more clearly how it may be applied in practical terms in the modern world.
The Meaning of Goodwill
Goodwill is humanity's first attempt to express the love of God, for goodwill is the lowest expression of true love and the one most easily understood. It is time that people should, temporarily at least, stop talking about love, about loving their fellowmen, and about the use of love in solving problems, and talk instead upon a lower and more practical level – that of goodwill. To many the use of the word love in matters of group and national relationships is meaningless. But goodwill still retains significance and can be understood by all. Goodwill is both an attitude and a harmonising energy. Goodwill is love in action.
It is interesting to note that the meaning of "goodwill", from the angle of an actual dictionary definition, and as it is used today by men and women of goodwill, has never been clearly defined. Webster's dictionary gives the following definition:–
"Good intention or good disposition; benevolence. Cheerful consent; heartiness; readiness.
Law: The favour or advantage in the way of custom which a business has acquired beyond the mere value of what it sells."
The emphasis is upon the more superficial meanings whether emotional and sentimental or commercial and materialistic. In fact, however, goodwill is an expression of "the will to that which is good and ought to be". It is no longer to be misinterpreted as a sentimental or negative kindliness, but as a practical and dynamic force for constructive action, capable of remaking the world.
The Role of the Mind
Goodwill is without direction if not controlled by thought. It is the mind that gives this direction and helps the individual to discriminate between right and wrong, to choose between what is good and what is evil, and to direct energy into the desired channels.
Energy in fact follows thought. This is as true of the energy of goodwill, generally regarded as an essentially emotional and sympathetic impulse, as it is of any other kind of energy. The mind is a better carrier of the potency of goodwill, and of divine love, than the emotions. Until experienced this is hard to believe for, compared to feeling, thinking seems rather cold to most people. However it is impossible to escape from personal glamours and biases until we move from emotional living to the more impersonal level of the mind.
If goodwill is as much an expression of true love as humanity at its present stage of evolution can express, its use under wise mental direction can be of tremendous potency on every plane of human experience and activity.
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he", is another expression of the truth that "energy follows thought". Permanent changes in the individual consciousness rarely occur overnight. They are a matter of growth and the following of a plan with a fixed mental intent. Thought power is, in fact, the greatest power we have in the world today for transforming individuals and humanity, for the creation and unfoldment of goodwill, and eventually the capacity to express true love. It is no accident that love has been defined as "pure reason".
The Platform of Men and Women of Goodwill
All work becomes spiritual when rightly motivated, when wise discrimination is employed, and when spiritual power is added to the knowledge gained in the physical world where emotion and thinking also play their parts.
One of the main qualities of men and women of goodwill everywhere is their attitude to the major problems which confront humanity at present – a strong sense of responsibility for helping to solve those problems.
These people of goodwill are to be found in every country in the world, and in every racial grouping. They are members of every religion and church; they are to be found working in every political and economic grouping without exception.
There is in fact no area of human life or thought that lacks the harmonising presence of people of goodwill.
Men and women of goodwill who are associated with particular political, religious, economic, cultural or other groupings in the human family do not work for the benefit of these groupings at the expense of others. Whatever their outer affiliations, people of goodwill stand for:–
1. The belief in the underlying unity of humanity, which is part of the oneness of the whole planet and the life upon it.
2. The belief in a worldwide brotherhood (removed from the realm of sentiment, of idealism and of mystical aspiration) as a demonstrated reality.
3. The belief that the major need today is to awaken interest in and mobilise the forces of light and the resources of the men and women of goodwill. If this is done the negative and evil forces will lose their hold and power in human affairs.
4. Harmlessness in speech, writing and action. Public opinion must be educated in the principle of non-separativeness, and people's minds must be prepared for the changes of thought and techniques of work of the new age.Harmlessness is not a negative or sweet and kindly activity, and does not remove the need for firm or even drastic action if the occasion demands.Harmlessness is a state of mind in which the motive behind all activity is goodwill.
5. An unprejudiced mental analysis of all human problems so that any solution may be in the interests of the whole.
6. An inner blending of objectives which recognises the value of the individual as well as of true group work, which means group understanding, group interrelation and group goodwill.
Above all people of goodwill stand for the fundamental freedom of the human spirit. Men and women of goodwill should remain free to think and choose and act according to their own conscience, for there is no uniformity of people. There can be uniformity of purpose and approach, but a uniformity of reaction must not be expected. Unity is not uniformity. Diversity does not exclude unity, nor create chaos. The chaos is essentially in the minds of humans, and with clarity of thought and goodwill a right and constructive relationship between the parts can be established.
The Science of Relationships
An analogy can be drawn between human service and an electrical current.The current only flows when it is providing energy for something beyond itself.Selfishness drains away power as surely as a short circuit and, if too great, can equally surely halt the whole flow of power. When the technique of goodwill is more generally understood, its energy will begin to flow and its power be felt more widely.
Each of us is involved in a complex network of relations, individual, group, community, national and international. These may be thought of as the "horizontal" relationships of individuals with their fellows and with their environment. This horizontal system of relationships is a means of contact, communication and influence. It is a carrier of energy at different levels, physical, emotional and mental. And since we live in a rapidly evolving world, this system of relationships is in a continual state of flux and change. The task of the person of goodwill is so to handle his or her place within this system, and the forces and energies under their control, that he or she assists in establishing right human relationships. Right relationships may be defined as those which encourage the maximum evolutionary growth of all the individual and group units within the system. The energy of goodwill is the most fundamental and important means to this end.
But humanity is also part of another relationship system – the "vertical", which links us to spiritual levels of awareness, to God and to the Universe. Contact with this vertical system is made by knowing and living up to the highest in oneself. Prayer, meditation and reflective thought are the essential means of creating and maintaining the "vertical" life of the spirit.
Creative living, involving the dynamic expression of the soul, or inner spiritual nature in the world of human relationships, calls for a right balance between the "vertical" and the "horizontal" systems of relationship, between the subjective and objective factors. Lack of attention to the "vertical" life of the spirit leads to static, crystallised and uninspired relationships and action in the everyday world. Excessive concentration on the subjective, or "vertical" life without allowing any opportunity for right expression in the material world can lead to overstimulation, tendencies to glamour and unreality, and to those distressing cases of messianic fanaticism that occur only too frequently among the well-intentioned but unbalanced aspirants.
The right balancing of the "vertical" and "horizontal " life can only be accomplished when the individual can balance the forces of their own nature, within their own psyche. The symbol of this balance, which also symbolises the goal for men and women of goodwill in the new age, is the even-armed cross. Once the balance is achieved, the fire of the spirit can inspire and permeate the world of everyday in a wisely adjusted system of human relationships.
Programme of Action
Focused, determined, enlightened public opinion is the most potent force in the world. It has no equal, but has been little used. The gullibility of the average citizen, their willingness to accept what is told them if it is said loudly enough and with sufficient plausible force, and especially if supported by one-sided evidence, is well known. The well-turned phrase of the trained politician, intent on personal selfish purposes, the arguments of the silver-tongued demagogue as he or she exploits some pet theory at the expense of the public, and the rantings of the person with a cause, a theory or an axe to grind, all find an easy audience. Mass psychology and mob determinations have been exploited down the ages, for the unthinking and the emotional are easily swayed in any direction, and hitherto this has been turned to their own advantage by those who do not have the best interests of humanity at heart. It has been used for selfish and evil ends far more often than for good.
But this negative receptivity (which does not deserve the name of public opinion) can be as easily turned to good ends as bad, and to constructive measures as to destructive. Planned direction and a wisely outlined programme with this in view can bring about the needed change and make a sound and intelligent public opinion one of the major factors in bringing in the new age.
The major task of the men and women of goodwill is therefore an educational one. They hold and advocate no miraculous solution of world problems but they know that a spirit of goodwill, particularly if trained and implemented by knowledge, can produce an atmosphere and an attitude that will make the solving of problems possible. When people of goodwill meet, no matter what their political party, nation or religion, there is no problem which they cannot eventually solve, and solve to the satisfaction of the various parties involved. It is the production of this atmosphere and the evocation of this attitude which is the principal work of the men and women of goodwill, and not the presentation of some cut and dried solution. This spirit of goodwill can be present even where there is fundamental disagreement between parties.
The service of any man or woman of goodwill can conveniently be considered under three headings.
Personal Preparation
It is essential for everyone to realise that, as an individual, they are a definite and integral part of the whole, and have therefore a very real sphere of influence. It is impossible to give useful service if we are oppressed by a sense of futility and are not really convinced that what we do makes any real difference. We must next recognise that unless we discipline and train ourselves, we shall fail to take full advantage of the many opportunities for service that will come our way. On the basis of these two recognitions, each man and woman of goodwill can plan a simple but definite programme to increase their usefulness, as follows:–
1. Cultivate the spirit of goodwill in themselves and eliminate all attitudes of hate, prejudice, bias, and criticism. Service, unless rightly motivated, is of little value.
2. Train the mind to be useful in two directions – in understanding and interpreting the world of human affairs, and in reaching the world of creative ideas and inspiration. All men and women of goodwill need to be familiar with what is going on in the main fields of human activity. They need a realistic understanding of the major problems that humanity must solve and a recognition of the major trends now shaping the future. The modern world cannot be understood without reference to the underlying causes that have created the present human situation. This calls for conscious planned study, wide reading, and the development especially of a wise discrimination. Similarly the man or woman of goodwill needs to develop the capacity for reflective and meditative thought without which it is impossible to tap that level of consciousness from which come those creative ideas and that intuitive understanding that makes it possible to solve the most difficult human problems.
3. Express whatever goodwill and understanding they may possess in service. We can only learn to serve by serving. Without some practical expression our aspirations, intentions and ideas remain purely theoretical. They must be tested out in life, in the light of actual experience.
4. Reorganise our lives so that we have time for the needed service. Effective service requires sacrifice and the ability to put first things first. If we really desire to serve and to be useful, we shall need to adjust the patterns of our living so that we make time available for what is really important. Many people quite unconsciously act according to the dictum "Service as convenient". Others see the problem, but do not see how they can find time for what they would like to do. More often than not no solution can be found until the person decides to put a life of service first, no matter what the cost. Once this reversal has been achieved, solutions can be found.
Life of Service
No matter what the individual's circumstances, environment or job may be, it provides many opportunities for the life of service. Service is essentially the spontaneous expression of soul contact. The meeting of human need and the creation of a world understanding within our immediate circle and environment is one of the first responsibilities of each man or woman of goodwill. The following suggestions form the basis of a programme that could be the starting point for a life of expanding usefulness for any individual of goodwill:–
1. Discuss your understanding of world affairs and humanity's problems in your home, among your friends and in your environment without fear or favour. Regard such discussions as a service and believe that your interests and enthusiasm cannot fail to have an effect.
2. If possible, gather people together to discuss the problems of this transition period and the principles of the coming new age or cooperate with those who are already doing so. Look upon such meetings as a contribution to the moulding of public opinion and as a means of helping to change the content of world thought.
3. Study the objectives, methods and techniques of the various groups and organisations interested in world service along many different lines. You may not agree with all of them or with their plans and modes of working, but all are needed. The types of men are many, the races and conditions are varied, and the problems facing humanity call for innumerable ways of working. All can play their part if based on real goodwill and if fanaticism is absent. Keep a record of such groups, and establish helpful and friendly relations with them to the best of your ability. Where it is possible to associate yourself wholeheartedly with the objectives and work of a particular organisation, offer your services of time, energy and money for whatever work needs to be done.
4. Find and keep a record of the men and women of goodwill in your environment. Be spiritually aggressive in this matter and go out to discover them. When you have found them, be interested in what they are doing, and also endeavour to have them cooperate with you in your lines of activity. Likewise strengthen and develop your contacts with men and women of goodwill in other countries all over the world.
5. Pray regularly, and to your prayers add meditation and reflection. Behind the world pattern and structure stands its originator, its planner, its motivating energy, its central will, its living creator. Seek by prayer to reach that central will, thus blending yourself with the sensed divine objective and identifying your will with the divine will.
6. Find two other people to work with you. There is a unique potency in this triple relationship. God himself, so say all the world scriptures, works as a trinity of goodness, and the person of goodwill in their own small sphere can do likewise, finding two other people of like mind to form a goodwill triangle of light and spiritual interplay. Each of the two who cooperate can, in their turn, do the same, and thus a great network of goodwill can spread throughout the world.
7. No matter what the personality may demand, lay aside whatever money can be spared for work of world service. Lack of money is one of the major hindrances to all goodwill work today.
This is a simple but effective basis for a programme of goodwill action. Many men and women of goodwill are already working along these lines. Their numbers can be rapidly multiplied. In playing our part we should remember the dangers of fanaticism and the need for personal discipline and preparation. It is not difficult to formulate large and unrealistic plans for world progress and betterment and, as many do, seek to impose their vision of what the world should become on others.
The need today however is for dedicated servers who will cooperate, under impression from the soul, with the divine plan as it seeks to work out.
Goodwill Leadership
There is a dearth of effective leadership today in the ranks of people of goodwill. This is well illustrated by the fact that whenever a person of ability and dedication offers their services and time to an organisation, he or she is very quickly given responsibility. Opportunities are as varied as the abilities of those who offer help. Organisers and administrators; teachers, lecturers and discussion group leaders; writers; investigators, information specialists and research workers; and the many people who, though they have no specialist skills, are able to help keep a group alive, creative and forward looking are all needed.
Those who recognise the need for goodwill workers and who train themselves for service, find expanding opportunities open out before them. What begins as a spare time activity can become, if the individual is suitable and the need sufficiently great, an all absorbing life task. Goodwill work, in its many forms, should increasingly provide vocational opportunities for those who are prepared to take the steps and make the sacrifices necessary for a life of world service.
This pamphlet is issued as an act of service by World Goodwill. World Goodwill is a

Members of the Folger family, including the immortal Benjamin Franklin, were known for their superb intellect. Judge Folger was no exception. In 1881, he retired from the Court of Appeals in his eleventh year on the Court, the last of which he served as Chief Judge, to accept an appointment from President Chester Arthur as Secretary of the Treasury. At the time of his appointment, a New York Times article stated that:
"'[t]he [Folger] family have ever been distinguished for habits of industry, temperance, frugality, and a high regard for moral and social duties. Their children, like their parents, have generally shown skills in mechanics-there are but few exceptions-and in some instances have evinced extraordinary powers in mathematics and unusual readiness to acquire general knowledge.' All our readers will readily recognize the close truth of this diagnosis as touching Ben Franklin, while those who know Secretary Folger say that his natural aptitude for questions in finance will prove of inestimable service to him in his new position."1
Born on April 16, 1818 "of the best New-England stock,"2 Judge Folger was the son of Thomas Folger, whose family had settled on Nantucket nearly 200 years prior, and Hannah Gateskill from London, England. He received his education at the common schools of Nantucket and at Plainfield Academy in Connecticut. Judge Folger and his family moved from Nantucket to Geneva, New York in 1831. In 1836, he graduated at the top of his class from Hobart College, which at the time was called Geneva College. He studied law at Canandaigua, New York in the office of Mark H. Sibley and Alvah Worden and with Bowen Whiting of Geneva and John M. Holley of Lyons. Judge Folger and his wife, Susan Worth Jr., were married on June 18, 1844. They had three children - Susan, Jennie, and Charles.
A Successful Politician
After his 1839 admission to the bar, Judge Folger returned to Geneva, opened a law office and launched a successful political career.3 Judge Folger followed the Silas Wright wing of the Democrat Party. He later joined the Barnburners, a radical element of the Democrat Party that opposed slavery and seceded from the Democratic state organization in 1847.4 Like many fellow Barnburners, Judge Folger left the Democrat Party to help organize the Republican Party in New York.
At nearly six-foot-tall, Judge Folger was "large in body, grave and dignified in demeanor, but animated in the excitement of conversation or debate."5 His "prodigious physical strength" enabled him to save the life of a train engineer in the early 1850s. According to a New York Times article, a moving train hit a stationary train from behind, killing a man caught between the two trains. Those who witnessed the incident grew angry and a riot ensued.
"The indignation of the crowd at the station was so intense that an attempt was made to lynch the offending engineer then and there. They had dragged him from his engine and were about to proceed summarily to punish him, even to the taking of his life, when Charles J. Folger, then a young and very athletic man, plunged into the crowd, and, throwing the rioters right and left, took the engineer under his personal charge and protected him from violence."6
When this incident occurred, Judge Folger's remarkable judicial career was already well underway. It began with an 1844 appointment to the Ontario Court of Common Pleas. He also served as Master and Examiner in Chancery until the adoption of the 1846 Constitution abolished that court. In 1851, he was elected County Judge of Ontario County and held that position for four years.
Judge Folger also engaged in local politics. He served as President of Geneva's Board of Trustees and, in 1857, became Geneva's first chief of police. He owned the village's first jail, or "lock-up," and rented it to the village for $80 a year.7
A Distinguished Senator
According to Judge Charles Andrews, Judge Folger entered the Senate in 1861 without previous legislative experience and, in his first term, rarely addressed the Senate because he was timid and did not trust his debating skills. Judge Andrews told the attendees of a Hobart College Commencement address held after Judge Folger's death that,
"on one occasion a bill was being pressed which had met with [Judge Folger's] strong opposition in committee, but seemed likely to pass the Senate. He sat uneasily in his chair hesitating, and yet not daring to rise, until at the last springing to his feet he assailed the bill with such passionate strength of argument and invective that he carried the Senate and the bill was defeated."8
Judge Andrews added that Judge Folger's "timidity passed away" and his speeches "were characterized by breadth, logic and a kind of sledge-hammer force calculated to carry conviction. He took and gave blows, and when he struck it was with no gloved hand."9
A distinguished State Senator, Judge Folger was president pro tem for four years and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. A New York Times article described him as an "uncompromising enemy of all jobbery and corruption"10 In 1864, he authored what became known as the Folger Anti-Strike Bill, titled "An act to punish interference with employers and employees," which made it unlawful for workers to unite for the purpose of conducting a strike.11 Labor unions protested the bill vigorously in all major cities throughout the state, forcing it to a halt in the Judiciary Committee. In New York City's Tompkins's Square, 15,000 workers denounced the proposed bill. One delegate at the New York City meeting called upon all present to pledge themselves to defeat Judge Folger for governor, should he become a candidate, as it was thought at the time to be his ambition.12
While serving in the Senate, Judge Folger was appointed as a delegate to the 1867 New York Constitutional Convention. In July 1867, he received a letter from Susan B. Anthony, who lobbied his support for women's suffrage at the Convention. She stated that if the new Constitution gave women the right to vote, "the thousands of women of the state who believe women should have the right to vote will become the most active and powerful workers for the success of the new Constitution and all of us together with the Republicans could and would surely triumph."13 She warned him that "any other course will be a failure," adding that "suffrage is the one right which no one person or class has the right to give or withhold."
Although Judge Folger's response to Susan B. Anthony's plea is uncertain, she may have had some effect on his attitude toward women's rights. While Secretary of the Treasury, Judge Folger overturned a decision by Kenneth Raynor, solicitor of the United States Treasury, and granted Mary Miller of Louisiana a licence to captain a steamboat on the Mississippi River.14 Solicitor Raynor had denied Mary Miller a captain's license despite the fact that examiners had found her competent to command a steamer.
Although Judge Folger's role, if any, in the suffrage issue is unknown, he was an influential Convention delegate in other respects. The Convention members appointed him to draft an address to the people of the State that summarized the proposed constitutional amendments. His address emphasized the proposed amendments that were to stop the bribery of public officials and the improper influences of elections. Perhaps Judge Folger's most important role at the Convention was chairman of the fifteen-member judiciary committee. Aided by Judge George F. Comstock (who had served on the Court of Appeals from 1856-1859), Judge Folger framed the judiciary article under which he would soon thereafter be elected associate judge of the Court of Appeals. Article VI provided that the Court of Appeals would consist of seven members - a Chief Judge and six Associate Judges - elected to fourteen-year terms. This contrasted with the then-existing eight-judge Court consisting of four judges elected statewide for an eight-year term and four elected Supreme Court Justices who served ex-officio for one-year terms.15 The judiciary article was the only part of the proposed new Constitution that was ratified by the people.
Judge Folger resigned his position as Senator in 1869 to accept the appointment of Assistant United States Treasurer in New York, a position he held until elected to the Court of Appeals in 1870. Although Judge Folger was a Senator at a time when "the public treasury was open to plunderers" and "legislation was sold for money," he "emerged from the murky atmosphere of that time with character untouched, and retired from the Senate with stainless honor, enjoying the public confidence and esteem."16
A Respected Jurist
Despite his unblemished reputation, Judge Folger's election to the Court of Appeals in 1870 was surrounded by controversy. Word spread that his and Charles Andrews' victories were secured by votes from Boss Tweed's Democrat machine. According to one critic, F. A. Conkling, the "election of Judges Folger and Andrews, by beating their colleagues on the Republican ticket, was effected through an understanding between Tweed and the Republican leaders, by casting a number of machine Democratic votes for those two Republicans in Democratic districts of New York City."17 Claiming that the election was "one of the most shameful that has ever disgraced the City annals," the New York Times stated that the infamous Canal Ring and Boss Tweed fixed the election because they knew "that sooner or later the swindling nature of the so-called 'contracts' and 'awards' by which they were profiting would be discovered and restitution demanded. To head off assaults of this kind it was necessary to influence the court of highest resort."18
In 1870, Judge Folger received a Doctor of Laws from Hobart College. After 10 years on the bench as an Associate Judge, he became Chief Judge, filling the vacancy created by Chief Judge Sanford E. Church's death in 1880. Later that year, he received the Republican nomination for Chief Judge and was elected to that position, which he held for only a year and a half. In 1881, he resigned to become President Chester A. Arthur's Secretary of the Treasury.
During his tenure on the Court of Appeals - spanning 11 years and 40 volumes of New York Reports - Judge Folger was known among his colleagues for his careful preparation, sharp intellect and solid judgment. Judge Andrews stated that "[i]f I were called upon to characterize Judge Folger's most prominent traits as a judge, I should say they were largeness and breadth of view, combined with a disposition to adhere to precedents, although they might not satisfy his judgment, great conscientiousness, the habit of patient, assiduous investigation before reaching conclusions, and absolute independence and fearlessness in declaring them."19 "His mind was like a prism," Judge Andrews continued,
"separating every argument into its original elements, and receiving light from all quarters. He regarded nothing as unworthy of examination, and when this process analysis was past, however much he may have doubted before, he generally reached the solid ground of conviction, and then collecting the results of his investigation, he stated his conclusions in the words of nervous force and energy, though often quaint and odd, paying little regard to the niceties of style or polished diction."20
Upon Judge Folger's retirement, the Judges of the Court drafted a letter honoring him; the letter and his response are published in 84 NY Preface. His colleagues described Judge Folger's opinions as "second to none" and "clear, learned, and able discussions of the questions considered."21 In response, Judge Folger wrote that
"the dearest of my recollections of the Court of Appeals will be of the harmony of intercourse, the uniform courtesy, the mutual confidence, the unvarying respect for one another, the cordial appreciation, the brotherly love, that held us in happy, personal and official relations. When I reflect on all these things, I wonder almost to sobbing, that I could have been led to give up the place of formal Head of such a Court, the nominal Chief of such a body of Judges."
A Loyal Treasury Secretary
With "great reluctance," Judge Folger left the bench to accept President Arthur's appointment "because he felt that he could not in honor disregard the demand which was made upon him."22 Despite pleas from his associates at the Court to decline the invitation, Judge Folger "yielded to what he deemed his duty to his party, but more than all to the demand of personal friendship and to the sentiment of personal loyalty, which was one of his chief characteristics, and which when appealed to he never set aside or disregarded."23 In a letter to Judge Andrews, Judge Folger stated: "You and I know very well that I was not only reluctant, but strongly opposed to taking this place, and that nothing but the condition of things as I found them in Washington when I came here in October brought me to consent."
Judge Folger immediately applied himself to learning the details of the operations of the treasury and felt it his duty to eliminate abuses and protect the treasury from unlawful and improper intrusion. As Secretary, he reduced the public debt and presided over the greatest surplus the government had ever had at that time. Observing that times had changed since the 1789 Treasury Secretary was charged with devising plans for collecting revenue, he stated that "[w]hat now perplexes the secretary is not wherefrom he may get revenue enough for the pressing needs of the government, but whereby he shall turn back into the flow of business the more than enough for those needs, that has been drawn from the people."24 He considered several options, including using the surplus to pay off the federal debt. Ultimately, he advocated reducing the customs duties. Judge Folger also initiated the civil service administration in the Treasury Department.
An Unlikely Candidate
In 1882, Judge Folger received the Republican nomination for Governor of New York. An unlikely candidate, he received the Republican nod over the Republican incumbent, then-Governor Alonzo B. Cornell. Many Republicans felt that Judge Folger was the only man who could win, and that Governor Cornell could not be reelected. The Republican Party was divided, as Governor Cornell announced his determination to fight for renomination.25 Ultimately, however, the party nominated Judge Folger.
Some Republican officials asked Judge Folger to decline the party's nomination. In an acceptance letter, Judge Folger stated "[a]s I sought not the nomination, as I was not glad when it came to me, as I could always have seen, and could now see, it go to another without one twinge of regret, I have no personal reason why I should not refuse it with alacrity. But the matter is not solely or chiefly personal. It has wider and vastly more important scope."26 Judge Folger believed that his declining the nomination "would produce the utter collapse of the Republican party" because "on the late eve of a highly important election@ it would be impossible Ato name another person for the office who would be likely to meet with party acceptation."27
Although he accepted the nomination, he neither campaigned nor resigned his cabinet office. Judge Folger stated that, if elected, he would aim "to be the representative of the whole party, subservient only to my duty to be the chief magistrate of the whole people, unmoved by the appeals of faction, unswerved by the appliances of private interests, acknowledging no claim of mere partisanship, looking supremely for the good of the Commonwealth."28 He did not, however, get the opportunity to pursue that lofty goal. Grover Cleveland, then the obscure mayor of Buffalo who would become President in 1884, defeated Judge Folger by almost 200,000 votes - an unprecedented plurality. Judge Folger's substantial loss allegedly damaged President Arthur's influence such that his own nomination for the presidency became improbable.29 After the election, Judge Folger wrote that "[a]s I had anticipated defeat, with no ray of other expectation, I was not overcome or cast down when it came, and congratulated myself that the certainty that it would come saved me from much personal abuse."30
At some point in 1884, Judge Folger became seriously ill while in New York and traveled to Geneva, hoping it would aid his recovery. Despite his deteriorating condition, he attended to his cabinet duties by reading and responding to messages from Washington. On September 4, 1884, Judge Folger died of, among other complications, a heart condition. Upon his death, President Arthur and many other Washington and New York officials gathered in Geneva for his funeral. His two daughters, then living in the Adirondacks, and son, Captain Charles Folger of Alexandria, Virginia, were among those who survived him. Judge Folger was buried in Geneva, by the side of his wife who had died seven years earlier.31
Many thought that the loss he suffered in the November 1882 Gubernatorial election caused him great sadness and shortened his days.32 The Judge, however, "did not believe that the 'chief end of man' was to hold office," and, in relation to his candidacy for governor, stated, "I had much rather become a private citizen and take a place in some secluded room in the pursuit of my profession, with reasonable compensation for reasonable work, and end my days in quiet."33 Indeed, his close friends knew that "he yearned to the last for his old place on the bench."34 In May 1881, Judge Folger wrote: "I was in Albany for two hours the other day, regretful that the judges had left. I wished to see them in their silks. I did see their fine new room. How can they help but write ornate opinions?"35
Judge Folger contemplated retirement after fulfilling his duties as a cabinet member. Just two years before his death, then-Secretary Folger wrote:
"When I am through with the job I now have on hand it will be high time for me to retire; to doze in the sunshine in the spring, to meditate in the shade in the summer, and to nod by the fireside in the winter, and in livelier moments to keep the spark of life in moderate glow by talk with a few friends, and communion with a few loved authors."36
Unfortunately, as Judge Andrews noted, Judge Folger did not have the opportunity to experience this pleasant retirement. He died as he had lived, "with the harness on, in the full strength of his intellect, still engaged in the discharge of his high duties."37
Judge Folger had three children-Susan, Jennie, and Charles. Charles married Vashti Susan Depew. Of that union, a daughter, Mirabel Depew Folger (1876-1946) married Orlo James Hamlin in 1899. The Hamlins became the parents of three children: Mirabel McCoy Hamlin, Hannah McCoy Hamlin, and Susan Darling Hamlin. Mirabel McCoy Hamlin married Robert A. Digel in 1923. They had five children, including Robert A. Digel, Jr., of Smethport, Pennsylvania. Orlo Hamlin's father, Henry Hamlin, founded the Hamlin Bank and Trust Company of Smethport, Pennsylvania, which is active today, having celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1988. Robert A. Digel, Jr., Judge Folger's great-great-grandson, is its chairman of the board, and his son, Martin J. Digel is president. The Eliza Starbuck Barney Genealogical Record lists both Judge Folger and his wife, Susan Worth Jr., who died in 1877.

Published Writings
As far as we can tell, Judge Folger did not publish any books or articles of his own. He did publish a writing in connection with a law suit he brought against the United States to recover commissions made from his sales of internal revenue stamps while he served as Assistant Treasurer of the United States in New York. Known as AFolger's Case,@ the 1877 opinion is reported at 13 Ct.Cl. 86. In denying his claim, the United States Court of Claims determined that the statute under which the Assistant Treasurer sold such stamps did not provide for his compensation. Judge Folger also published writings as a State Senator and as Secretary of the Treasury, many of which appeared in The New York Times. For example, he published his March 20, 1868 remarks to the New York State Senate concerning a bill to abolish the contract system associated with the canals and, in February 1882, The New York Times published a letter he wrote as Treasury Secretary concerning a bill that would prevent the over certification of checks by officers of national banks.

"We tune 'em up, beat 'em down, lock 'em up. The Western District way." Herc is at home on the streets, knocking heads, conducting street sweeps and slapping bracelets on young hoppers. Dedicated and well-meaning on the one hand, Herc finds temptation challenging on the other - especially when there's a payday involved... whether it lines its own pockets or furthers a case through improper means. Herc scored high enough on a sergeant's test to win promotion, but was denied thanks to a lack of political connections - and his long, awkward history of brutality complaints. Determined to make rank, he transferred out of the Western drug unit to the Mayor's security detail, hoping that a year of driving Royce around would achieve what police work did not.
After catching the mayor with an intern under his desk - and subsequently keeping his mouth shut - Herc found himself bumped up the ladder and back at Major Crimes. His promotion didn't last long, though; a lost surveillance camera and some manufactured informants cost him his stripes, then his job.

mmmurf needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 21 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
We have a simple signup form (first, last, email, submit button) that we use, and we want to rock out some better styles for it.
We actually use it on a couple of sites, and we want a few variations so that it looks good on a variety of different sites. I'm thinking three to start.
Here is our form:
It's very simple, and you can see that the CSS is even simpler.
We just want three style variations for it. Feel free to get creative. We like rounded and friendly, but we also like fresh and clean design.
We want the forms to stand out when on the rest of the web page but not to be too obtrusive. They should have the look of a tasteful badge almost, if that makes sense.
The current width in the HTML provided is what we're working with now, but we want to also experiment with making it wider.
It would also be cool to see something with a bit heavier lines.
- Working css and any necessary images to make each of the three styles work
- styles that work with varying widths of the input elements. If we have to widen or narrow the form a bit it should not break the style.
- One of the styles should be in the fresh, simple, 37signals style
- One should be a bit heavier and more like a wireframe
- One should be very minimalistic
- we like simple and elegant
- A bit of rounded corner action would be great
- Maybe even a custom submit button
- don't forget the styling of the error message text so that it matches.
- Nothing that looks too traditional.

When To Call 911
The only time you should call 911 is if a person is badly hurt or in danger right now!
Personal Safety at Risk
Gang Violence
Crash Injuries
Car vs. Pedestrian
Medical Conditions
Trouble Breathing
Chest Pain
Unconsciousness; No response
No signs of life
*There are exceptions to the above
It's important to make sure you are safe before you call 911. If your home is on fire, for instance, leave the house before calling 911. You can always call from someone else's house.
Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what's happening. The 911 emergency dispatcher will ask you these questions:
• What is the Address of the emergency?
• What is the phone number you are calling from?
• What happened?
• What is the Age of the patient?
• Is she/he conscious and breathing?
Don't Hang up
If you do have to call 911 in an emergency, be sure to stay on the phone. Do not hang up until the 911 operator tells you it's OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to get help to you fast!
911 should never be used for road conditions, directions, burn day checks, time checks or as a source of information for telephone numbers.

User talk:RickScott
Hello! Welcome to Wikitravel. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub. --Majnoona 00:58, 18 May 2004 (EDT)
Hey; thanks for the welcome. I've been dabbling with a few Wikis over the years, so I'm familiar with the `Wiki Philosophy', and have a halting acquaintance with the rudiments of how a Wiki operates. That being said, though, this will be my first real attempt to make a meaningful contribution to a vibrant, consequential, and engaging Wiki community, so please forgive my initial gracelessness. =)
IIRC, I stumbled across Wikitravel while doing some research on whether or not we had use for a Wiki-based collab tool at work. I got here from following one of Evan's links on some other Wiki. ("Evan Prodromou is the founder of Wikitravel." ...hey, that sounds interesting, and that name sure sounds familiar...) It's too bad I didn't find it sooner. One of my biggest peeves with conventional travel guides is how little coverage they have of some of the smaller places I've lived (FSVO `small'). Typically, you get a bit of copy lifted directly from the brochures of the major commercial tourist attractions, combined with a halfhearted mention of the places where the reviewer ate and slept while passing through town, clearly on the way to somewhere they considered to be more important. But now, with the help of Wikitravel and fellow Wikitravellers, I can try and change all that =) Cheers, RickScott 00:14, May 21, 2004 (EDT)
We're sorry to see you go, especially to a clone with no visitors outside of the few WM users themselves. Your contributions here are much appreciated, by your fellow Wikitravellers and by the admin crew. Best of luck to you, and your account will be here for you when you return. Warm regards, IBAlex (talk) 14:36, 31 January 2014 (EST)

HIV+ Triathlete: Til I Drop
Team4HIVHope Shout Out!
June 23, 2011
My buddies on Team4HIVHope are rockin' the road as they race across America on their bikes! Spare a thought for them as they battle saddle sores, the elements served up by Mother Nature, and the lack of sleep inherent in racing non-stop across the continent.
Ironman Louisville Race Report: Never Give Up
September 1, 2010
First Ironman: Wisconsin 2004. Sick heading into the race. Couldn't consume calories or fluids during. Woke up in the back of an ambulance after I passed out half way through the bike. Later diagnosed with parasitic infection.
Gay Games Race Report
August 19, 2010
It has been a whirlwind of racing the past few weeks. I had two races in one of the local race series and had a much improved bike segment and finished fourth in my age group in each race so was feeling a little more confident in my chances of getting onto the podium at the Gay Games.
I Am a Delicate Flower
July 16, 2010
There, I said it. Admitting it is half the battle, right?
American Triple T Race Report: Sick Puppy
May 31, 2010
For those not in the know, this is 4 races in 3 days and totals just slightly more than the ironman distance. Many folks use it as a training weekend for their ironman race this summer. Some are racing in the team division, but like most, I'm doing the solo version.
The Good News Is ...
May 8, 2010
So went the beginning of my most recent doctor's appointment. He went on to say that no tumour was found -- whew! -- and that although I have thickening of my left adrenal gland wall, it is not indicative of a medical condition. Since its been 5 weeks since I've experienced any symptoms associated with the 5 weeks of illness and I've returned to full-on training -- and recovering from hard days very well, better in fact then I was recovering pre-illness -- meant that mentally I had pretty much put the illness in the past. I told him that I was just back to the med induced nausea and all other symptoms had ceased.
Back in the Saddle Again
March 29, 2010
I was hoping to give this blog entry a title with a super positive spin -- something like "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands" -- because I hadn't had any 'anxiety' attack episodes for an entire week, only bouts of nausea -- and they seemed to be lessening as the days passed -- and mild abdominal pain that failed to recur mid-week. Sunny skies.
Ambulance Ride and the Grim Reaper
March 22, 2010
When all this started 5+ weeks ago, the most severe symptoms were profound fatigue and feeling very crappy all the time (much to my chagrin, I don't have a better word then crappy). But not nauseous, as I never felt like I was going to vomit and the crappy feeling didn't seem to emanate from my stomach. As the fatigue and crappy feeling started to lift in the last couple of weeks, I was able to be more functional.
From Saddle Sores to Bed Sores: Felled by the Flu?
March 15, 2010
Well, not really -- I was never on the bike enough to get saddle sores, nor immobile long enough to get bed sores, but I have been battling something that I was attributing to the flu. And if I don't get better soon, getting to the start line of Ironman Louisville is in serious jeopardy.
Graceful I Ain't
February 22, 2010
I fell again this week while running. Actually I was almost at a standstill when I went down and somehow landed very hard on my right calf. I have been very wisely avoiding my usual ravine route because its ice covered and have been sticking to the dreaded asphalt streets. However, a full bladder necessitated a visit to the wooded ravine and I very slowly and gingerly made my way a few metres over the ice path toward a tree when my feet went out from under me.

Aah, Now we're talkin...ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. Greatest photo of Parker I have ever seen. The lighting, composition, her expression, the bold black and white stripes of her dress making B&W photography all it can be. Let's not forget the clarity still there at the size. I have original Hurrell's and C.S. Bull from 1947 of Hedy & Ava. This Parker Just as Good.

Coming soon... Joan De Bot Joan De Bot is a Dutch artist currently living in New York. She started her career as a painter of systematical art, large canvases filled with patterns and grids. After a period of free expressionism she set out to travel, painted and exhibited landscapes and cityscapes from the places she came across underway. When she visited Australia she fell in love with the wild, seemingly systematically organized Australian landscape and modern aboriginal art. Hereby inspired, she gradually returned to a variation on the themes she had exploited before, patterns and grids. In the last couple of years she has started to make textile designs. Recently she has also started to make fashion designs.

Mariah Carey + Nick Cannon Renew Their Vows
Congrats to Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon! The happy couple renewed their wedding vows in Paris on Friday to commemorate their upcoming fourth anniversary this Monday (April 30). Too cute!
E! Online reports that Carey and Cannon have renewed their vows every year since their original wedding, making this the fifth time they've swapped their matrimonial promises.
Carey sported a white mermaid gown with black ribbon sash at her newly svelte waist. Cannon coordinated with his wife, donning a white tux, black tie and shoes and rainbow striped socks. The duo took pics in a faux proposal pose. We bet she said yes! Carey's rep shared the happy news. "Mariah and Nick renewed their vows at the summit of the Eiffel Tower in an intimate ceremony after a romantic dinner at the beautiful Jules Verne restaurant."
We're glad Carey is celebrating. It will be a welcome bit of good cheer following the tragic news of her sister's cancer.
Not only is Carey and Cannon's anniversary on Monday, but it's also "dem babies" first birthday! We can't wait to see those photos -- Moroccan and Monroe may be the cutest twins on the planet.
