"My father developed a significant, recurring inflammatory problem with his eyes when I was a teenager. He underwent several surgeries and treatments, and I was scared he would go blind. I remember thinking that I didn’t want other children to go through that scenario and vowed to figure out a way to prevent this condition from affecting others. I ended up working in the lab of my father’s eye surgeon and through those experiences I knew, once I entered medical school, that I would become an eye surgeon.

I love interacting with so many people from different walks of life each day. Whether they have a sight-threatening condition like glaucoma, need cataract surgery, want LASIK, or just need a new supply of contacts, it’s really satisfying to be in a position to help people see better.

I try my hardest to listen to each patient 'with my eyes,' and to treat them as if they were my own family — with care and compassion. I want each patient to leave knowing that their questions were heard and addressed and that we have a solution to a problem, or we are working hard to find that solution.

I want to give each patient the best possible vision. I have the privilege as an eye surgeon to serve others, to listen to their needs, and to do my best to help them see better."

How Can We Find Peace

What do we need to accept to be happy? That is the question posed by David Richo in his book “The Five Things We Cannot Change and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them.”

When I am struggling, I find peace by praying and contemplating these five things:

  1. Everything changes and ends.
  2. Things do not always go according to plan.

  3. Life is not always fair.

  4. Pain is part of life.

  5. People are not loving and loyal all the time.

The Buddhists call this the “Middle Way,” ancient Greek philosopher’s called it “The Golden Mean.” In the Episcopal Church, and throughout the Worldwide Anglican Communion we call this “The Via Media.”

May this season of Epiphany continue to fill us with new insights, Mother Candace+

Two Promos & a Streetfilm from GoHuman!

This year I had the opportunity to work on two promotional videos for the "Go Human" campaign from SCAG, the Southern California Association of Governors. The above is the version featuring footage/photos from nearly ten events we helped document. The campaign encourages Southern Californians to use human-powered transportation and change how people see other modes of […]

Unsustainable: Traffic 2018

New York is facing its most serious transportation challenge in decades. Subway reliability is way down, and the bus system is shedding riders at an alarming rate. And because transit is so unreliable, today New York is accommodating growth in cars, in the form of the tens of thousands of Uber and Lyft vehicles we […]

Rotterdam: A Post-War Central City Moves Beyond the Automobile

On a trip to the Netherlands this summer for the VeloCity conference in Nijmegen-Arnhem, I had one extra day on my itinerary. So I asked the Streetfilms Twitterverse what I should do with my 24 hours, and I heard loud and clear from people in Rotterdam that I should come see their wonderful city. I'm glad I did. Rotterdam is […]

London Cycling Works: How Savvy Campaigning Got 180 Employers to Support Bike Lanes

When I met up with Londoner and self-professed "Streetfilms fan for ten years" Chris Kenyon in New York City recently, he had a great story to tell. In 2014, there was an intense bikelash in London in reaction to groundbreaking, high-quality protected bike lanes in the city center. Chris's advocacy group, London CyclingWorks, played a critical role in […]

Congestion Pricing Was Unpopular in Stockholm — Until People Saw It in Action

It’s natural for politicians to feel squeamish about enacting a big policy change like congestion pricing. People who’ve grown used to free driving privileges defend them loudly, while the potential benefits feel diffuse and uncertain. That may explain why Mayor de Blasio hasn’t warmed to congestion pricing despite its promise to deliver a fairer, safer, […]

Gawk at the Great New Bike Access to the Williamsburg Bridge From Brooklyn

If your city says there's no room for better bike infrastructure to improve access to important bridge crossings, show them these street changes from NYC DOT. Parking spaces and traffic lanes have been converted to safe and comfortable two-way protected bike lanes on the approaches to the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn. What's great is not only the safety of the protected […]

The Northern Boulevard Protected Bike Lane Celebration Ride

Despite the chill, nearly 75 people turned out Sunday to celebrate the new protected bike lane on Northern Boulevard connecting to the popular path known as Joe Michaels Mile in Eastern Queens. This NYC DOT project added a two-way, concrete-protected bikeway to a high-speed section of Northern Boulevard that's frequently used by parents, kids, and commuters. The ride followed an eight-mile loop of […]

2004: bikeTV Examines the dangerous Manhattan Bridge bike entrances

Here's one from the archives from my bikeTV days (2001-2006) when we had a group of advocates strongly advocating for better safety measures for the access points to the new Manhattan Bridge shared bike-ped path on the south side. I did an entire episode on entrance/exits to all five East River bridges in 2004.  Here […]

Meet Some of the “100 Most Influential Urbanists” via Streetfilms!

Recently, Planetizen named their 100 Most Influential Urbanists of all-time, based on public voting off of a list of 200 nominees. Jane Jacobs won. As she should have. Whether you believe the list is correct or has some people ranked too kindly or not at all, it has been circulating like mad on Facebook and other […]

A Groovy Array of Bicycling Streetfilms From The Netherlands

With so many of my friends posting Facebook photos and Tweeting short video snippets of what they are seeing while in Amsterdam at the PPS Placemaking Summit, I thought this would be an excellent time to compile in one place most of my Streetfilms I've shot there since my first visit in 2013, great films to […]

300+ People Create Human Protected Bike Lane on NYC’s 5th Avenue

More than 300 volunteers organized by Transportation Alternatives formed a six-block-long “human-protected bike lane” on Fifth Avenue last night, calling on the de Blasio administration to extend the protected bike lane network through Midtown’s busiest streets. Fifth Avenue has no bike infrastructure above 26th Street, leaving a large void in the bicycle network where there’s huge travel […]

Parking Day Meets PeopleWay! (2017)

With the 15-month shutdown of L-train service west of Bedford Avenue coming up in 2019, NYC DOT and the MTA need to figure out new ways to move hundreds of thousands of people each day. In Manhattan, a big piece of the puzzle is rethinking 14th Street. To keep people moving, Transportation Alternatives has proposed a […]

The New Bus Campaigners

Half of transit trips in America are made on buses. But over the past several years, nearly every major US city has witnessed dramatic declines in bus ridership. Some blame may go to low gas prices and new services like Uber. But transit advocates think bus service is declining because of longstanding policy neglect, and […]

Tour the Safer 111th Street With People Who Fought 3 Years to Make It Happen

For people who live west of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the only way to walk or bike there is to cross 111th Street. But until recently, getting across this street was a death-defying risk, especially for parents with young kids. The old 111th Street had five travel lanes and two parking lanes, forcing people to […]

Cyclists Become “Human Bollards” to Protect 2nd Ave Bike Lane

Earlier this summer, DOT filled an 18-block gap in the Second Avenue bike lane in Midtown. But there’s a big problem with the project: On most of those blocks, the new bike lane isn’t protected at rush hour, when the number of cyclists is highest and car traffic is most intense. So this morning, Transportation […]

On October 21 & 22,ALL parishioners are cordially invited to Welcome Weekend at St. Thomas the Apostle. This weekend will be an opportunity for the St. Thomas Parish Family to extend a special welcome to those who may not attend Mass regularly.

IF you have been away from the Church, we hope you will join us for this special day.

IF you are an active member of St. Thomas, YOU can make this weekend a great success!  Here are three easy suggestions:

Think of someone you know who no longer attends Mass.  Invite this person to come with you to Mass for Welcome Weekend.  Offer this person a ride and sit together at Mass. While you are at Mass, share your joy and enthusiasm.  Let your words, actions, and attitude serve as an invitation to someone who may be seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ.  (And don’t forget, a simple smile can go a long way.) Before you head home from Mass, spend some time getting to know people you haven’t already met.  Introduce yourself to at least one person you don’t know yet.  Commit to remembering this person’s name in case you see them again the following week.

After the 5:00, 10:30 & 11:00 Masses on Welcome Weekend, you are invited for light refreshments downstairs, where Pastoral Council members will be available to greet you and answer your questions.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Organizational Structures.

Topics: Organization, Organizational structure, Decision making software Pages: 1 (289 words) Published: April 1, 2012
Advantages and Disadvantages of organizational structures.

Advantage- More specialized in certain fields, communication is excellent because of the knowledge one has about the function of the job, easier to work as a team to get better results. Disadvantage-Staff does not always know the case of the client in detail, other organizations may not always talk to the same person, and very specific job knowledge is required, hard to find a fill in for positions. Matrix Organizations:

Advantages-more flexible than departmentalization, more than one person in charge that one can go to for assistance, wider choice for employees that fit the need. Disadvantages-employees are harder to manage due to independence, could increase expenses, more employees needed, lack of loyalty to position, constant team work needed. The Project Team:

Advantages-less managers, better communication, less stress on one person. Disadvantages-who is in charge may create conflict, lack of consideration for others, lack of accountability, lack of job focus. The collegial model:

Advantages-independent functioning, independent decision making, each person is equal in responsibility, each generates own income, total flexibility. Disadvantages-lack of accountability, lack of authority.

In day to day operations the Matrix structure would serve well for a counseling center as its advantages are stronger than its disadvantages, Project Team structure would be the better choice for the center as it has a stronger back bone to carry the center. The Departmentalization structure is the strongest of all choices as it divides the employees by knowledge and has a better opportunity to assist clients. The collegial model would not be efficient in a counseling center as there is no real set structure for day to day operations; its disadvantages are stronger than its advantages.

“When I Have Fears” and “Mezzo Cammin” Essay

Topics: Poetry, Sonnet, Difference Pages: 3 (981 words) Published: November 7, 2010
Stephanie Villalobos

AP Literature; Period 2
August 23rd 2010
“When I Have Fears” and “Mezzo Cammin” Essay
In the two poems, “When I Have Fears” by John Keats and “Mezzo Cammin” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, both of the poets deal with the death that they believe is quickly approaching them and think back to their regrets in life. Keats during the time when this poem had been written had just seen his brother die of tuberculosis and due to this he believed he too would soon die. Longfellow at the time writing his poem had been 35 and due to this was most likely experiencing a mid-life crisis. Similarities between the two poems include the poem’s theme and the thoughts of death that the two men are dealing with. The main difference between the two poems deal with Keats’ fear of not being able to finish writing before he dies and shows this by the metaphors and structure. Longfellow‘s poem then in comparison shows the author dealing with his regrets for his life and not being able to move on from that with the use of imagery, diction and extended metaphor. “When I Have Fears” covers many points on Keats fear of death that Longfellow does not. Keats mainly focuses on his goals of writing. Even in his first line we are able to see how much he fears death. He states that when he has fears that he “may cease to be”(Keats 1), in this understatement he shows his fear to even say the word death. Instead he replaces it with a less direct way of sharing his fear. Keats wishes to write so many books that the amount will be a huge pile of his works. Using “rich garners the full ripen’d grain”(4), gives an idea of the amount of book he pictures that he will write in the future. However, he fears that he “may never live to trace”(7), the glorious books that he will one day write. The use of the metaphor of clouds which you are not able to hold show that he really feels he will never be able to finish. He goes on to say that if he may not write his...

It’s all so personal

OK, chaps, I probably was a bit mean to Greenberg and Ben Stiller in yesterday’s post.  On the other hand, I really thought the film was…..

You know what? I obviously just didn’t get the film. Maybe people who live in the same world as the guy in the film – maybe they get it.   (I am sooooh relieved I don’t live in that world.)

Opinions about films, plays, music, books – they are all so personal, so subjective. For example, look at these two comments from professionals in the publishing world about the manuscript of a well-published friend of mine – the same manuscript:

Whilst I applaud your use of ordinary characters in a commonplace milieu, I'm afraid none of them really grabbed me and I did not feel sufficiently interested in them to want to read on. It's very difficult to strike that balance and I don't feel this is working. I did not find myself getting involved in the story or caring what happened to these people.

l love it. I think you're a wonderful writer and the novel is lovely - clever, funny, subtle, wry, sad and uplifting all at once. I ADORE ****  [the main character]

You can’t please all of the people all of the time. And as for me and Ben Stiller – it’s probably bad chemistry.

Marilyn said...

Hi Sue, I keep popping up now and again! I had to comment to say that I agree with everything you said about Ben Stiller. He is absolutely atrocious and about as funny as a slice of mud pie. So don't feel bad, or that you were too harsh. He puts himself up there in front of an audience so must expect criticism, good and bad. Having said all that, I do like his Dad, Jerry Stiller - and I can't help feeling that the only reason Ben has made any headway at all is because of his dad's reputation and the respect the 'industry' has for him. Another 'actor' I cannot stand is Adam Sandler and for ages I confused the two, Adam and Ben. Doesn't matter though as they are both really very bad indeed. And thanks for your review - I was thinking of giving Ben the benefit of the doubt since the film has been screened in no less a venue than the Showroom. I'll not be bothering!

Looking back at the 2007 Ravens draft class

The Ravens are the only team to have made the playoffs in each of the past four seasons. That’s a credit to G.M. Ozzie Newsome, who has given coach John Harbaugh enough talent to mold this team into a contender.

As we close in on the 2012 NFL draft, we’ll take a look at how the Ravens have fared in recent drafts. It’s too soon to give a fair evaluation from the 2010 and 2011 classes, but three years of NFL service time is enough for us to grade their 2007, 2008 and 2009 classes. In today’s blog post, we will break down the 2007 class.

Total picks: seven (No. 29 overall, 74, 86, 134, 137, 174, and 207).

2011 starters: left guard Ben Grubbs, right guard Marshal Yanda.

Players still with the team: one (Yanda).

Best pick: Yanda. The Ravens picked a pair of Pro Bowl guards in Grubbs and Yanda, but Yanda gets the nod because he was a third-rounder (Grubbs was the top pick) and because he brings nastiness and physicality to the Baltimore offensive line.

Biggest miss: Yamon Figurs. With the first of their two third-round picks, they drafted Figurs, a speedy wide receiver and returner out of Kansas State. He scored two return touchdowns in his rookie year, but made just two catches for 79 yards in two seasons here.

Trades: They dealt their second-round pick, No. 61, to the Detroit Lions for picks No. 74 (Figurs) and No. 101. They then traded No. 101, a fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for No. 86 (Yanda).

Players they could have had: Wide receivers Laurent Robinson, Jason Hill and Mike Sims-Walker were selected within the five picks after the Ravens took Figurs. Linebackers Zac Diles and Brandon Siler, running back Ahmad Bradshaw, and quarterback Tyler Thigpen were drafted after their final pick (Prescott Burgess).

Final grade: B. The Ravens selected a trio of Pro Bowl players in Grubbs, Yanda, and fullback Le’Ron McClain, but only one player from the draft is still here five years later (though the Ravens did try hard to retain Grubbs this offseason before he joined the New Orleans Saints). Linebacker Antwan Barnes has found success in San Diego and quarterback Troy Smith, who was pushed to the side when the team drafted Joe Flacco, is now in Pittsburgh. Burgess has had about 500 different stints with the Ravens.

THE American novel

The Baltimore Sun

February 18 is a day to celebrate, because it was on February 18, 1885, that Mark Twain published The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the definitive American novel.

Ernest Hemingway famously said, "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called 'Huckleberry Finn.' " Calling it "one of the great masterpieces of the world," H. L. Mencken said, "I believe that Mark Twain had a clearer vision of life, that he came nearer to its elementals and was less deceived by its false appearances, than any other American who has ever presumed to manufacture generalizations, not excepting Emerson. I believe that, admitting all his defects, he wrote better English, in the sense of cleaner, straighter, vivider, saner English, than either Irving or Hawthorne."

There are those who see F. Scott Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby as the definitively American book, picturing our national inclination to make and remake ourselves as we would prefer to be, with the consequences. I had an adolescent gratitude for Sinclair Lewis and his exposure of the stifling limits of middle-class culture in Main Street and Babbitt. And I suppose that a perverse case could be made that no one but an American could have, or would have, bound together half-insane obsessions, the contours of good and evil, the struggle with the natural world, and a catalogue of mundane technical details in Moby-Dick. John Updike's Rabbit tetralogy has the stifling middle class, the yearning to break free, and the sex.

But Huck Finn is elementally American. Its robust colloquial voice has our distinctive accent and tone, a virtual declaration of independence from the formal English of Hawthorne, Wharton, and James.

Its hero embodies our characteristic rebelliousness, our impatience with authority and convention, our disinclination to be "sivilized" against our will.

And, importantly, it has race, the issue that will not go away: slavery, the protection of which was the fatal flaw in the Constitution, the underlying issue in the complex of tensions and animosities that brought on the Civil War, and the source of the legacy of racism that troubles us to this day.

Twain grew up in racist society, and he pictures it accurately. He pictures Huck's casual racism accurately, and he shows how Huck, by his association with Jim, comes to reject the racist culture that is his heritage, and to think independently. It is a novel of liberation, another classic American theme.

It is a mordant irony, and a reminder of how sharply Twain looked at us, that his book cannot be taught in some of our schools because of its historically accurate portrayal of racism. Our Aunt Sallys are still among us.

Doctor accuses 1-800-GET-THIN president of identity theft

A Marina del Rey anesthesiologist has filed a lawsuit accusing the president of the 1-800-GET-THIN marketing firm of identity theft for using the doctor's name to establish a corporation that billed insurers without his permission.

Dr. Martin E. Flynn alleged in the lawsuit that Robert Silverman set up a company in May 2011 called MAFL Medical Inc., which was used to bill insurers for anesthesiology services provided to Lap-Band weight-loss surgery patients.

Flynn acknowledged in the lawsuit that he performed anesthesiology during more than 200 Lap-Band surgeries at outpatient clinics affiliated with 1-800-GET THIN. He refused to sign a contract that would have allowed the owners of the surgery centers to set up a corporation to bill insurers for services he provided, but Silverman did it anyway, Flynn said in the lawsuit.

"His personal identifying information has been stolen by defendants," according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Los Angeles. "MAFL has submitted fraudulent bills to his patients' insurance companies for exorbitant fees for anesthesiology services that he provided."

Flynn also alleged in the lawsuit that Silverman set up a series of phony companies using the names of several other physicians, also without their permission.

Silverman is the president and chief executive of 1-800-GET-THIN, a marketing company that has advertised Lap-Band weight-loss surgeries on Southern California roadside billboards and on television, radio, buses and the Internet.

Silverman denied wrongdoing.

"There is absolutely no merit to these baseless unverified allegations," Silverman said in an email. "I am 100% confident that this cause of action will be dismissed."

Also named as a defendant in Flynn's lawsuit is Dr. Michael Omidi, who owns 1-800-GET-THIN and its affiliated surgery centers, the lawsuit alleged.

An attorney who represents Omidi did not respond to an email seeking comment. A woman who answered the telephone at a surgery center affiliated with 1-800-GET-THIN refused to take a message for Omidi.

"He is not here and he doesn't work here," the woman said before hanging up.

The lawsuit comes amid a host of investigations of 1-800-GET-THIN and the surgery centers by local, state and federal agencies. Earlier this month, a spokesman for the California Department of Insurance said the agency was investigating companies affiliated with 1-800-GET-THIN for possible insurance fraud.

In December, the Food and Drug Administration warned 1-800-GET-THIN and its affiliated surgery centers that the billboard ads were misleading because they failed to provide adequate warnings about risks of the surgery.

At least five Southern California patients have died since 2009 following Lap-Band surgery at clinics affiliated with the 1-800-GET-THIN ad campaign, according to autopsy reports, lawsuits and other public records.

Manufactured by Irvine-based Allergan Inc., the Lap-Band is a ring that is surgically implanted around the stomach to discourage overeating and help patients shed unwanted pounds. Allergan said this month that it would no longer sell its product to clinics affiliated with 1-800-GET-THIN.

Times staff writer Alejandro Lazo contributed to this report.

Michael Weiner dies at 51; head of Major League Baseball Players Assn.

Michael Weiner, who devoted his adult life to representing Major League Baseball players and rose to become their leader during an era of unprecedented prosperity and labor peace, died Thursday. He was 51.

Weiner, who was found to have inoperable brain cancer 15 months ago, died at his New Jersey home, the union said.

His casual manner and dress belied his stature as one of the smartest men ever to work in sports. His popularity extended beyond the players and their union to the commissioner's office, and to the very executives against whom he negotiated.

He continued to work through this summer, even as the cancer robbed him of his ability to walk and the use of his right side. Nonetheless, he appeared at the All-Star Game in July, in a wheelchair and in public view. He had no hesitation in explaining why, even as his voice grew soft and the trace of a tear appeared in his left eye.

"I don't know if I will be able to do this again," he told The Times. "If the doctors' prognostications and numbers are right, I probably won't. Because of that, I want to be wherever I can be."

In accordance with a succession plan, former major league first baseman Tony Clark becomes acting executive director. The union's executive board is expected to confirm Clark as Weiner's successor next month.

Born Dec. 21, 1961, Weiner grew up in New Jersey. His father owned a construction company, and Weiner spent several summers working on union crews.

Weiner graduated from Williams College in 1983 and Harvard Law School in 1986. After two years clerking for a federal judge, Weiner joined the Major League Baseball Players Assn. as counsel, at 26.

He never left the union, working as one of its lawyers during the 1994-95 strike. He rose to general counsel and, in 2009, replaced Donald Fehr as executive director.

Under Weiner — and with revenues leaping to record levels — the union negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement without threat of a work stoppage. The union also worked with the commissioner's office to tighten baseball's drug policy.

"He was truly a great individual, a brilliant lawyer and a thoroughly decent person," Dodgers President Stan Kasten said. "All of baseball — labor and management — has suffered a great loss. Michael was always viewed as the path to a reasonable resolution."

As news of Weiner's passing spread, some of baseball's biggest stars took to Twitter to express condolences to the family of a powerful man who could explain the most complicated and arcane rules in plain English, who disdained fancy suits for polo shirts and sneakers.

From Angels first baseman Albert Pujols, a three-time most valuable player: "Words can't describe the kind of man he was. I will miss you, my friend."

From Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen, this year's National League MVP: "Michael Weiner worked through his sickness. He didn't look at it an excuse to quit. He never gave up on us even when at his worst."

At the All-Star Game, Commissioner Bud Selig approached the wheelchair-bound Weiner, lowered his right hand onto Weiner's left shoulder and exchanged pleasantries. Later, Selig politely declined to discuss his interaction with Weiner, but the anguish was apparent on the commissioner's face.

"Michael was a courageous human being," Selig said in a statement, "and the final year of his remarkable life inspired so many in our profession."

Weiner spoke to the Baseball Writers Assn. of America in July, his voice already wavering, his right side no longer functional, his brain as sharp as ever. He was well aware his days were numbered.

"What I look for each day is beauty, meaning and joy," he said that day. "If I can find beauty, meaning and joy, that's a good day."

Weiner's survivors include his wife, Diane, and three daughters.

The union said announcements about memorial services would be made at a later date.

C.W. “Skip” Smith, 70, died peacefully, Saturday, Nov. 4, 2017, surrounded by his loving family at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, after a year battle with leukemia. He is survived by his loving wife Deborah L. (Beach) Smith, whom he married May 24, 1974.

Born Oct. 28, 1947, in Williamsport, he was a son of Clarence and Patricia (Webster) Smith.

Skip was a 1965 graduate of Montoursville High School, a graduate of Williamsport Area Community College, and The PA State Police Academy. C.W. served in U.S. Army reserves and was a Pennsylvania State Trooper from 1971-2005 when he retired as a criminal investigator.

He was a member of Balls Mills United Methodist Church. His love for working on and racing cars led Skip to start his racing career in 1985 at Selinsgrove Speedway (track champion 1987), and continue racing in the ARCA and Busch series from 1994-2005, when he retired from racing. He continued as owner/crew chief for his son’s racing from 2005-2016 at Selinsgrove Speedway and again won a track championship in 2009. His greatest love was his family and especially his grandchildren.

Surviving in addition to his wife, are two sons, Christopher W. Smith, of Williamsport, and Jason M. Smith (Natalie), of Cogan Station; four grandchildren, Sophia, Logan, Stella and Conner Smith; two brothers, Michael Smith (Jan), of Montoursville, Craig Smith (Sue), of Montoursville; two sisters, Bonnie Barrett, of Mifflinburg, and Terry Youmans (Russ), of Montoursville; and a brother-in-law, Ronald Beach (Sondra) of Montoursville.

Gambling expansion does not solve state budget structure problems

Pennsylvania casinos will gross more revenue this year than any state except Nevada.

So it comes as no surprise that the state lawmakers and Gov. Wolf, with a new budget stalled by a $2.2 billion deficit, last week approved a bill to expand casino-style campleing to truck stops, online portals and airports and allow 10 new mini-casinos in the state.

And apparently that made state budget problems go away for another year.

Lawmakers hope to bring in an added $200 million a year from gambling. Unfortunately, expanding gambling does not solve the structural problems with the state budget.

A much more pragmatic solution would have been reduced staffing across the board and the use of surplus funding in several state accounts to balance the budget.

Chef’s Table with The Tudor Room’s Douglas Balish

PUBLISHED: 06:34 23 May 2017

Douglas Balish is hitting the heights at Great Fosters

Douglas Balish is hitting the heights at Great Fosters

In the first of a new series where we’ll discover what inspires Surrey’s top chefs, we meet Douglas Balish, head chef at the Michelin starred The Tudor Room restaurant at Great Fosters, in Egham

Dougie's Langoustine dish (Photo: Giles Christopher/Media Wisdom) Dougie's Langoustine dish (Photo: Giles Christopher/Media Wisdom)

Originally published in Surrey Life magazine May 2017

What first inspired you to become a chef?

I always had an obsession with food from a very early age but it never crossed my mind to become a chef. I had planned to go to university and study psychology but after a summer job in a local pub I couldn’t see myself doing anything other than working in a kitchen.

Tell us about your proudest achievements so far…

Being awarded a Michelin star is obviously something I would never have dreamt of back when I was 19 and microwaving frozen chocolate cakes in the pub kitchen! On a smaller but no less significant scale, I cooked for my grandparents when I was still living in Scotland. My grandfather was so overwhelmed that he cried.

What’s your ethos at The Tudor Room?

We try to make every day better than the previous one. We use seasonal produce and source the best ingredients which speak for themselves. It’s certainly not about chasing awards, although if they come along then it’s a bonus.

Do you have a signature dish?

Currently it’s langoustine tea, which is a consommé of langoustine infused with Thai aromas served over langoustines that arrive live from Scotland. There are three or four other dishes, which we would happily return to the menu depending on the time of year.

How do you source your ingredients?

We grow a lot of our own produce in the spring/summer and have been experimenting with hot beds to take us into autumn. I am always on the lookout for new suppliers with amazing produce and recently found someone to grow asparagus for us.

Do you still enjoy cooking at home?

I love cooking at home, although I rarely have time to. Sometimes it’s great to cook food that you want but wouldn’t be serving in a fine dining restaurant – a good roast chicken or stir fry perhaps.

Finally, if you had to create the ultimate ‘Surrey’ dish for a banquet, what would it be…

I think it would have to be Surrey venison wellington served with a red wine sauce made from Denbies’ Pinot Noir.

CD Reviews

The Real Deal
D. French | Anytown, USA | 10/27/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I see people diss this album because the sound isn't "big" enough. If you're looking for the "airbrushed" sound of lush orchestration, multiple percussionists, backup singers, and the huge productions which mark the decline of many great artists, then this album is not for you. Rather, this particular collection recorded live at a club in LA is Neil Diamond stripped down to his rockin' roots; just guitar, bass, drums, and Neil. He rocks your socks off from the beginning of "Lordy" all the way through the closing number, the best version of "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show" that I've ever heard. I've loved this album since my college roomate introduced me to it in 1995 and still jam my old vinyl version. I implore you to also discover this ablum and find Neil Diamond at the true height of his stage prowess. The between song banter is fantastic as well (eat your heart out, Wil Ferrel.)"
Neil Diamond Unplugged!...sort of
David Hugaert | Honolulu, HI United States | 07/10/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Recorded live at Doug Weston's Troubadour in Los Angeles, "Neil Diamond GOLD" is an electrical-acoustical delight to the ears, performed in an intimate atmosphere. Originally released on the Uni label in the late '60's/early '70's, it's such a real treat to hear Neil perform some of his early Bang material live, as featured on this CD, and he really breathes life into these live numbers to boot. "Lordy", "Cherry, Cherry", "Thank The Lord For The Night Time" and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" (the former three tracks are from the Bang years) really showcase Neil's ability to rock with a little bit of a hard edge in all-out fashion, while the live versions of "Holly Holy" and "Sweet Caroline" featured here don't work quite as well without an orchestra. The orchestral arrangements work wonders on both "Holly Holy" and "Sweet Caroline", where these particular live versions can be found on the double live "Hot August Night" CD set, complete with orchestral arrangements, as mentioned above. Neil really tops himself on the live "GOLD" version of "Brother Love's", as opposed to the original studio version, as he puts a signature, hard-edged polish on this live version, where Mr. Diamond rocks out like no one else I've heard before, or since. There are no duds here in this semi-acoustic live masterpiece. "Neil Diamond GOLD" is a perfect CD to relax with after a long, hard day."
Pop Passion at its finest
D. French | 01/31/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"In 2002, it's hard to imagine Neil Diamond sounding this stripped down and soulful, but he does on "Gold" and it is wonderful. This was the late 60's and "LOve on the Rocks" and "Heartlight" were more than a decade away. This cd captures Neil live at the Troubador in L.A. Caught between the Bacharach pop stylings and emerging singer/songwriter Neil seems comfortable, earnest and uncalculating as he rethinks his arrangements for a more intimate (and yes, hipper), venue. THIS is the Neil Diamond who has been covered by the likes of Chris Isaac and Urge Overkill. An intelligent and passionate songwriter and a superb performer. He is clearly having a wonderful time and the versions of the classic tunes here are full of energy. While this is not the masterpiece that Hot August Night is, it is a fascinating counterpoint to the over the top production of that and subsequent albums. The production quality isn't great (ok it's rather poor) but Diamond's small band is tight and Neil himself is splendid. The emotion and energy of this performance surpass Hot August Night. With the orchestra and larger band gone, Gold presents Neil Diamond and his material for the true timeless classics that they are."

Master Your Craft
at UW Tacoma

UW Tacoma staff writer Eric Wilson-Edge sat down recently with our team to talk about Mastering Beer Styles and other craft beer courses at the Center. Read his story at the link below:

"The craft beer industry is big business. As of 2016 there were 334 craft breweries pumping millions of dollars into the Washington State economy. The growth has been rapid. Five years ago, there were only 136 craft breweries in Washington State. Despite the surge, breaking into this market can be difficult. Amateur enthusiasts face stiff competition and might not be well-versed in the specific challenges of the industry. The KeyBank Professional Development Center (PDC) at UW Tacoma has a plan to address these issues..."

KeyBank PDC alumni uses experience to succeed at Seattle Goodwill

If you met her today, you’d have a hard time believing Rebekah Hand grew up in Florida. Now living in Fircrest, Wash., with her husband, three sons and their bulldog Mudge, Hand has all the characteristics of a native Pacific Northwesterner. She wishes she had more time for exploring the outdoors, but finds plenty of fulfillment keeping up with her family. And like most of us, she’s a big fan of Star Wars and local craft beer. Hand fits-in one other way, as well: she’s ambitious.

Despite having a good idea of what she wanted to do, Hand wasn’t sure how to get there. After nearly a decade in the retail world, switching fields seemed impossible. Even though Hand was skilled enough to receive several interviews for HR positions, she was never able to land a position. Deciding she needed something to help build the bridge over her career change, she started considering courses at the UW-Tacoma KeyBank Professional Development Center.

In 2014, while continuing her position as an associate store manager at Pottery Barn, Hand enrolled in the center’s Human Resources Management Certificate program. Delivered over nine months, this program is designed for the professional who want to either enter the field of HR or learn the advanced skills necessary to advance to the next level. Read the full story.

Meet the Instructors: Trevor Nichol, Mastering Beer Styles

Mastering Beer Styles: Exploration and Evaluation is the KeyBank PDC’s first venture into the world of craft beer. According to the Brewer’s Association, there are nearly 4,300 craft breweries operating in the U.S. That number is only growing, and Tacoma’s thriving beer culture is a testament to that. Looking to serve the growing body of craft beer professionals, this course is designed to take students on an exploration through the world of beer.

At the helm of the course’s first iteration is BJCP Master Judge Trevor Nichol. Nichol is an industry veteran, knows beer much better than anyone at The Center, and took some time recently to answer some of our questions. Read the full story.

Hello, Goodbye!

Posted on: Thursday, January 3, 2013

from the Labs

If you have one resolution this year, only one… Let it be this one.

Goodbye 2012!

This past year was definitely one of growth at Photo Lab and Design Lab HQ… In every way possible, we grew.

  • We grew as a small business, bringing in double the happy clients we did last year.
  • We grew as working professionals, perfecting our craft and learning something new with each project and challenge.
  • Growing sometimes includes some difficult times, but we stuck together, regardless of the growing pains that we ultimately learned valuable lessons from.
  • We grew our following, surpassing 1000 fans on Facebook and making new friends in colleagues and fellow dog/cat/art lovers.
  • As members of HeARTs Speak, we enjoyed doing a lot of work for shelters and rescues this year, and some of it made it into Bark Magazine to our sheer delight.
  • We grew as a family, adding a shelter puppy named Willow to our pack!

In all, it was a good year for us, with its share of ups and downs but with great opportunity for learning from every curveball coming our way.

Below I compiled some of our favorite faces and projects for 2012, with gratitude to everyone involved in making them a reality. To all our wonderful clients, we sincerely appreciate you and look forward to an even better 2013!

From the Photo Lab

This was a BIG one for us our first BARk cover!! :D

From the Design Lab

These are some of the design and photography projects we worked on this year.

Wishing you the happiest of new beginnings this year!

Lessons from the Water Bowl: Dogs, Photography and Type

Posted on: Thursday, November 8, 2012

from the Labs

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and as professional photographers we could not agree more. With words, we find that the simpler the message, the better; yet as designers and overall creative people, we believe that the way that message is presented can be key to it striking a chord with the people you are trying to reach. Pairing a beautiful image with some powerful text has proven to be a subtle yet very striking way to engage someone. It has been done in many ways, many times but I find that there is never a good balance, they have great images, and wonderful words, but they don’t shine because of a poor choice of font, or placement or legibility; or maybe it’s the other way around, great words and design, and a not-so-great image.

Typography is the art or process of printing/working with type, the work of setting and arranging type in a way to make a word or message not only clear and legible, but beautiful.
I am, I’ll confess, a type-nerd. I love trying out new fonts to work with and if there is one talent I dearly wish I had, it would be that of hand-lettering.

Piecing together our monthly desktop wallpaper calendars (download them for free!), a project we later aptly called DeskType Wallpapers, really allowed me to play with words, different font styles and I gave myself an enjoyable puzzle to work on every month. I enjoyed the result so much that I decided to overlay some type on one of our images for our Photo Lab | Design Lab holiday email last year and this typography + photography combination has since become synonymous with our style. We now compose our photographs with type in mind, allowing for extra negative space, shooting at a wide open aperture to remove busy backgrounds and allow type to be more easily readable.

November’s DeskType Wallpaper. Download it by visiting our Design Lab Creative Studio Facebook page.

Our holiday newsletter cover from last year, the beginning of our signature photography + typography style.

These typography + photography pieces now illustrate every one of our email newsletters, they adorn every greeting card we send to our clients and friends, they help illustrate random thoughts or support important causes to us and have headlined many of our blog posts, in particular our series on canine behavior; every time we shared one of these pieces on the web, Facebook and Pinterest in particular, the image went viral and was shared numerous times. Most recently, we wrote and created a piece called The Promise, a personal project to express our joy and vows to our newly adopted dog Willow; to our amazement, that one garnered unbelievable attention, and resulted in calls and emails not only from people who had seen it online, but from notable names in the pet industry such as Bark Magazine, Dog is Good and P.L.A.Y. Pet, Lifestyle and You. The winter issue of Bark Magazine features three custom pieces we created for Kim Kavin’s article on fostering. We were brought in to photograph foster dogs for the article and create the type + photo pieces, writing to help tell the story and pinpoint some key messages in relation to the joys of fostering dogs.

Custom-made piece for Bark Magazine’s winter 2012 issue. “Why Foster?” by Kim Kavin

Somehow, what we were writing, creating and sharing in these pieces was striking a chord with people from all over. It gave me a wonderful sense of community to see that so many people shared our love and commitment to animals and that they enjoyed what we created enough to share it with their friends. That’s where Lessons from the Water Bowl comes in…

The Dogs Speak, I Write…
One of my favorite quotes by Winnie the Pooh author A.A. Milne is “Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That’s the problem.”  This gave me an idea: what if someone not only listened, but took notes and shared them with the world?
Selfishly, it would a personal project to keep ourselves shooting for fun and for me to keep experimenting with type, but primarily, it would be a way to remind people of the many things we can learn from animals if we take the time to listen. Better yet, what if they had something beautiful, to remind them of this message?

So, we set out to create 12 pieces to begin with, gathering some of our best work and shooting for instances where we wanted something very specific. The result: a gorgeous calendar we are ridiculously proud of and one we have so been looking forward to sharing with everyone. It is here, it is ready and just in time to be hanging on your wall by January 1st. You can now purchase your calendar HERE.

Lessons from the Water Bowl 2013 calendar

January’s Lesson

May’s Lesson

August’s Lesson

The best part is, this calendar is only the beginning! This will be an ongoing series since dogs have endless things to say and teach, and we won’t stop at dogs; we have plans to include cats and any other animal willing to “sit down” with me for a chat. We hope you enjoy this series and that you keep sharing it with your loved ones.

What has your dog or cat taught you?
We’d love to hear your stories! Share them on our Facebook wall or via email and if your submission gets picked to become part of the series, we’ll send you a lovely print of your Lesson in its photography + typography format :)

Photo Lab for Bark Magazine: A Behind the Scenes Look

Posted on: Tuesday, March 6, 2012

from the Photo Lab

If you love dogs, you’ve probably heard of Bark Magazine; and if you appreciate smart writing, great design and gorgeous photography, you’ll recognize it as the very aptly described “The New Yorker for Dog Lovers.”
We have been enjoying Bark Magazine for 7 years now. I still remember walking into Pawtrero Hill to get food and toys for our newly adopted puppy (Corbin) and seeing this beautiful magazine cover near the checkout counter; we have been hooked ever since. I can honestly say, from the moment we declared ourselves animal photographers, it has been our dream to work with Bark, and a bigger dream still, would be to see one of our images on the cover.

Last year we had the pleasure of becoming contributors to the magazine, bringing images to articles and recently collaborating, photographing and designing the layout for their acclaimed Dogs in Letterpress piece. Little did we know that early in 2012, we would reach a major milestone in our careers and see a huge dream for our little business come to life… with a cherry on top.

In late January, Cameron Woo, creative director of The Bark, contacted us with a request to photograph the cover for the upcoming spring issue (picture us wide-eyed with jaws on the floor). The assignment involved photographing the newest member of the Bark family of canines, a sweet little terrier mix named Charlie. Oh my goodness… Not only were we getting the unbelievable opportunity to photograph for the cover of a dearly respected dog culture magazine, but we were being trusted with photographing a Bark family member! After the fainting spells subsided and the shock started giving way to excitement, we very happily accepted the assignment and started planning for our shoot.

On a lovely February morning, we packed up the car and headed over to the Bark headquarters in Berkeley. Charlie (who had been given a bath for his big day) could have easily stepped out of Patrick McDonald’s Mutts comic strip; he has the perfect combination of cute + scruffy + frisky, with a pair of stunning, sparkly eyes and patches of brindle on his coat.

A little gentleman. If you look closely, Charlie is sitting on top of a shoe :)

Before even pulling the camera out, Bill and I like to get to know our models, playing, observing, and getting comfortable with each other. Charlie was not at all phased by any of the equipment, and we would soon find the ultimate trick to get his attention as Cameron describes below:

That tangle of arms and elbows of the left is Bill and I, with said attantion-getting Cat sounds app.

 “We didn’t know what to expect from Charlie for his cover photo shoot … fortunately, he showed no apprehension to the backdrop we set him on, and did his best to hold his sit-stay and looking cheerful. He’s a dog of few expressions, rarely opening his mouth, so we concentrated on the small things — his posture, getting his ears to perk up, coaxing a head tilt. Then Nat pulled out her secret device … that “cat meow” app which instantly captured Charlie’s attention. Volia, a cover shot!” ~ Cameron Woo

Once we got our cover shot, we had some fun photographing on different colored backgrounds with Charlie happily accepting liver-flavored bribes from me. When the photoshoot was over, he remained stitting on the seamless, as if saying “What, are we done already? I’m ready for more!”

I cannot express in eloquent words what we felt when we got our first look at the final cover. It is a tangible dream. It is something that will go up on our wall and always remind us to keep working hard, loving what we do and doing what we love. I don’t know if this is true for everyone, I can only speak for Bill and myself when I say that seeing your work pubished is not something you get used to, it is always just as exciting; just as humbling and happy-dance-inspiring.

We can’t thank Cameron and Claudia enough for this amazing opportunity and for the trust they bestowed in us to photograph their new little friend, as well as the rest of the Bark team for allowing us to take over their space for a day. We are so happy to have been a part of this and to officially welcome Charlie into his new loving family pack.
We hope you’ll get your own copy of Bark and enjoy everything it has to offer, and if you are not a subscriber yet click on the banner link on the right and get your subscription today!

Sneek Peek: Momo

Posted on: Tuesday, January 10, 2012

from the Photo Lab

We are back! To welcome 2012, we thought we would dedicate our first blog post of the year to Momo, the little pug that sealed 2011 for us.

Below are a couple of our favorite images from Momo’s photoshoot. Although it was a particularly cold and gloomy day, Momo and her parents had a blast; and in one of those fortunate moments a camera allows you to capture, she illustrates one of the greatest lessons to be learned from dogs. You might recognize Momo from P.L.A.Y. Pet Lifestyle and You‘s popular blog post Momo Mondays. Momo’s parents are the masterminds behind P.L.A.Y. and we are so thrilled to have had the pleasure to photograph their beloved little lady. We are also beyond excited to be collaborating with P.L.A.Y. on their Warm Bellies Initiative featured on the newest issue of Bark Magazine. Click here to learn more about Warm Bellies.

Honoring Our Four-Legged Heroes

Posted on: Thursday, November 10, 2011

from the Design Lab

We have been working feverishly on our Design Lab website, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate its completion than with the release of this project so dear to us and a wonderful feature in one of our favorite publications, Bark Magazine.

Throughout history, natural and man-made disasters come accompanied by many things, tragedy, tears, loss, unity, recovery and hope. I cannot think of a more perfect sign of hope than to see a dog wearing a Search and Rescue vest working diligently alongside his or her human partner. Not only do these dogs work to find life amid the destruction, or bring closure to grieving families; they also bring a much needed comfort and sense of normalcy to those around them.

In the wake of the Japan earthquake, we all watched as search and rescue teams worked tirelessly to find survivors. It was then that we set pen to paper and created an illustration dedicated to honoring their life-saving work.
We had hoped to find an outlet for this project and our opportunity came when our friend Olivia San Mateo, owner of Olive-Route Press told us about a letterpress exhibit in Japan that she was participating in. She would be donating 5 letterpress pieces to the show benefitting victims of the disaster; she had selected 4 and was missing one. Perfect. When we showed her our illustration, she loved it and to our surprise and utter delight, offered to print it and send a few pieces to the gallery show in Japan. Unknowingly, our illustration was a perfect candidate for letterpress printing, simple, clean and ready to separate into polymer plates.

These 8x10 prints are available for purchase, keep reading for details below.

We may have created this illustration, but Olivia’s skill and gorgeous letterpress printing brought it to life; Thank You Via for such beautiful work and for making this possible. We created 50 limited edition, 8×10 prints, signed and numbered. A couple of these prints were sent to Bluemoon Letterpress in Japan for the exhibit called Letterpress of Pray to help raise awareness and funds to aid tsunami and earthquake relief efforts and the rest are available for purchase on both Olive-Route’s and Design Lab’s online shops. Since giving back is of such importance to us, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation, an incredible group of people and dogs working everyday to strengthen disaster response in America by recruiting rescued dogs and partnering them with firefighters and other first responders to find people buried alive in the wreckage of disasters. Quantities of these prints are very limited, so stop by today, purchase your print and help us say thank you to these amazing canine heroes and their human partners.

Read our 6 page article in Bark Magazine

Our prints were hot off the press when we were contacted by Bark Magazine about them. They had an article on the art of letterpress in the works and had seen a sneak peek from our print job on Olivia’s blog. Too perfect. In collaboration with Bark Magazine, we set out to design a gorgeous 6 page spread, photographing amazing printed pieces by skilled printers from all over such as BirdDog Press, Fickle Hill PressOlive-Route Press and Hound Dog Press among many others. Much of the photography was actually done in Olivia’s beautiful letterpress shop and the writing by our dear friend, letterpress enthusiast and Bark Magazine creative director Cameron Woo. The cherry on top of course was having not only our Japan print featured, but our beloved Photo Lab Thank You coaster tags printed by the amazing Cranky Pressman featured as well. Overall it was a dream project: letterpress + dogs + Bark Magazine, not sure we could have asked for more.

I got the S and A DVD fro England, you cannot play it in a DVD player, but a computer will play it ok. I watched it without trouble on a Dell Computer.

It was quite cheap from Amazon UK - less than taking my daughters to a movie.

My real bully beef is the Scottish Writer made the mother Scottish - there are many female Australian Actors in the UK who could have played that part with more verve and style than the actor used. One is not supposed to use a word like Frump on this august board so I shall not, but...

"I'm willing to do anything this week," Richardson said. "I'd go out there and block for Ronnie McGill if I had to." (Winston-Salem Journal)

Little Denny--a tale of youth and food

Little Denny kept sliding off the lunch counter stool. The waitress poured his mom another cup of coffee.
The waitress laughed, a snorting giggle.
“That's cute” she said, turning to look at Mom, a young woman in her mid twenties who'd peering at a magazine while fidgeting with her food. She slapped her sandwich on her plate and grabbed Denny's arm.
“Shit” she said, her voice a irritated hiss, “he's doing this on purpose, the rat-“
“OwwwwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWW” yelled Denny when she yanked him upright on the stool, forcing into an impossible posture. His face met the edge of the counter half way,
where he could see a history of dried and chipping wads of gum mark the rim like mountain ranges on three-dimensional globes. The hamburger Mom ordered for him sat on its plate in front of him, a mountain of meat and sesame seed buns.
“Now eat” his mother demanded. Her long finger that had been leafing through the magazine pointed to the plate, looking crooked, shaking, with a long, twisting fingernail curling toward the charred patty as if to drop something from a claw. Denny cringed again.
“Eat” she said again “eat and quit fucking around.”
The waitress's smile shrank to a chastised `o' from his bulging , full-cheeked glory, and turned to chores , her own business. She pulled half empty ketchup bottles from a shelf under the counter as Denny reached over the chasm between he and the counter and grabbed the hamburger from the plate. It was the size of a football in both his hands. Squeezing it tight, he raised it to his mouth and then turned his eyes to Mom in order to see if she could see him doing exactly what he was told, a mature boy of 4 and a half!
Mom was sipping her coffee, the sandwich on the plate with two bites out of it, staring at the waitress who was pouring the remains of the ketchup bottles into a single vessel, so to waste not a drop. Denny squeezed the burger so tight that the patty slid from between the buns and hit the floor with a wet slap that sounded like a kiss heard in rowdy cartoons. The phone rang, and when the waitress reached over to grab the line, her arm swept into the bottles and knocked them to the floor. The bottles shattered into a hundred red, bloodless shards. Startled, Mom spilled her coffee.
Little Denny fell off the stool.

  1. I question that this is fiction. I saw much the same thing happen last weekend at Famous Weiner Lunch in Hanover, PA. Stop trying to spare the public the harrowing, carnivorial truth.
