Portland restaurant icon, Oregon wine advocate closes influential chapter
By Kerry Newberry
As the legend goes, Vitaly and Kimberly Paley's first stirrings of Oregon came from a basket of morel mushrooms in the kitchen at Au Moulin de la Gorce, a Michelin-starred restaurant near Limoges, where they were both working at the start of their careers. Years later, the allure of the Pacific Northwest's bounty of farmed and foraged ingredients led them to Portland.
Since then, the couple has created a buoyant community devoted to celebrating the producers who were so often behind the scenes. With each success, they chose to further elevate the farmers and fishers and foragers they worked with, the winemakers and cheesemakers and so many more. The legacy they leave is one of joy, grace and gratitude. And the significant reminder that restaurants — a word that derives from the French verb restaurer, meaning to restore — not only sustain us, they renew us.
Here, we look back on the many meaningful ways that Portland's most revered culinary couple fed a small city's soul and helped plant it on the nation's culinary map.
Decades before Portland turned into a nationally acclaimed food destination, Vitaly and Kimberly Paley elevate the local dining scene when they open their eponymous restaurant in the mid-'90s. Set inside a charming Victorian home with perfect porch seating, the couple set the standard for fine dining with a focus on locally farmed and foraged ingredients.
Devoted patrons often start with the signature George's Gathered Greens, a seasonal salad mix named for one of Paley's long-standing farmers who tends 28 acres set in the Cascade foothills of Brownsville, Oregon. "I started working with Vitaly when he started, which means we've now worked together every week since 1995," says George Weppler. "He has a very caring attitude. Kimberly, too. My relationship with Vitaly has been one of the easiest I've ever had as a restaurant purveyor. Over the years, we developed a great friendship in addition to our business relationship. I always believe in putting out the best product I can, and I know he does the same."
Paley's Place is named The Oregonian's "Restaurant of the Year." Karen Brooks details in her piece the many exceptional touches that make the restaurant sparkle: "Put it into a low-key home with a funky porch that holds baskets of farm-fresh produce. Heat slowly over the unstoppable passion of a New York dancer. Cool beneath the exactitude of a Russian pianist. The final dish is unlike anything you've ever experienced: part restaurant, part salon, part home. Paley's Place."
"Portland is sometimes called the Burgundy of the North," writes Ruth Reichl, the (former) editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine (now shuttered). "And with good reason, as I found just by walking into a restaurant called Paley's Place." The legendary editor also writes, "I took one look at the display of produce at the entrance and knew that I would eat very well." Paley's Place officially lands on the nation's culinary map.

An avid cyclist, Vitaly uses his culinary expertise to launch an energy bar on the opening day of the 2003 National Cyclocross Championships in Portland. A year later, the alternative snack made with organic produce from the Northwest rolls out commercially as Paleybar.
Vitaly wins one of the most prestigious culinary awards, James Beard "Best Chef Northwest." Presented annually by the James Beard Foundation, the honors aim to celebrate, support and elevate the people behind America's food culture and champion a standard of good food anchored in talent, equity and sustainability.
With the help of Portland culinarian Robert Reynolds, the Paleys publish "The Paley's Place Cookbook: Recipes and Stories from the Pacific Northwest." In the book, the couple dives deep into their food philosophy, saying "cooking is about both soulful searching and rigorous technique." He details their culinary journey from Europe to New York to the Northwest. "Oregon reminded us of France, where ingredients are stars. … We knew we wanted to sustain what we learned in France about being closer to the sources of food. In Portland, we see not only where the food comes from, but who grows it. Here, our food is shaped by connections with people and the ingredients they bring to the restaurant's door: mushrooms, potatoes, truffles, chestnuts."
Cochon 555 crowns Vitaly "Prince of Pork." The national traveling chef competition chooses the winner based on creativity, preparation and overall flavor. Paley's winning dish includes five-day cedar-smoked prosciutto, consommé royale (bacon and truffle custard, cured ham, chervil), black pudding and bacon hollandaise, pig in a sausage blanket, trotter and hock stew, and a salad of cider syrup-glazed pork skins, apples and rocket.
With radishes as the star, Vitaly wins "Iron Chef: America" on the Food Network. During the competition, challengers are tasked with creating a multi-course meal using radishes in each dish. His winning menu — eventually featured at Paley's Place — includes creative plates such as radish greens and ricotta gnocchi and a dessert of tarte tatin with watermelon radish caramel sauce, Granny Smith apples, radish greens and mint syrup.
The Paleys start their restaurant hotel empire with Imperial, the wood-fired grill phenom in Hotel Lucia. A hot spot from the start, the restaurant quickly garners national accolades for standout dishes like the fried chicken served with barrel-aged hot sauce and honey.
Food & Wine magazine recognizes Vitaly with an "Empire Builder Award" in a piece spotlighting prolific chef-restaurateurs.
The James Beard Foundation nominates Vitaly as a semifinalist for "Outstanding Chef."
The Paleys start a long-standing relationship with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, one of many causes the couple supports; others include Metropolitan Family Services and Friends of the Children Foundation through the Classic Wines Auction.
Culinary creativity reaches new heights with a bee-positive project. On the rooftop of Hotel Lucia, honeybee hives are installed. "Vitaly was instrumental in recognizing and supporting me when I was getting started," says Damian Magista, the founder of Bee Local (now Jacobsen Co. Honey). "I have fond memories of being on the roof and chatting with him about the nuances of honey. Vitaly and Kim have given their souls, nurturing the Portland culinary scene. I wish them a happy and relaxing retirement. They've earned it."
Vitaly makes a special guest appearance on Esquire Network's "Knife Fight." He witnesses the battle of chefs from two of his restaurants, featuring Benjamin Bettinger of Imperial and Patrick McKee of Paley's Place.
At the Portland Penny Diner, Vitaly rocks the city's food scene with DaNet, a monthly Russian pop-up dinner and dance party. The epic feasts include traditional zakuski, a blini and vodka bar, a wildly popular ice luge and a DJ spinning Slavic hip-hop tunes.
Paley's Imperial wins Willamette Week's "Restaurant of the Year," garnering this evocative praise: "One of the best fried chicken dishes you'll ever eat. It's still served with barrel-aged hot sauce and honey from beehives on the roof, but the bird now drips with juices inside a golden-brown and buttery shell that crackles like paper under a fork. Imperial's menu begins with always-incredible Parker House rolls that have a crisp shell, which pops like a balloon, and a gobsmacking ponzu-spiked poke salad. By the time you get to the perfectly prepared flat iron steak from the cranked-up wood-fired grill, you're seeing stars."
The Paleys, along with partner Garrett Peck, open the highly anticipated seafood-inspired Headwaters at The Heathman Hotel, one of the city's defining landmarks. "Vitaly is the hardest working chef-owner I have ever had the pleasure of working with," says Peck. "His knives were never idle, constantly pushing, teaching, mentoring and crafting. A true gift to many people who worked by his side and an inspiration to the culinary community in the Northwest."
Taking inspiration from travel and tradition, the Paleys open Rosa Rosa on the ground floor of the Dossier Hotel. Named for his grandmother, the restaurant showcases dishes inspired by the couple's recent trip through Turkey and the Republic of Georgia, as well as their heritage and personal culinary memories.
Headwaters hosts Sustainable Seafood PDX, an ambitious culinary and educational event developed in collaboration with the James Beard Foundation's Smart Catch program and the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch. In addition to multi-course dinners, brunch and field trips to the Oregon Coast and Columbia Gorge, the event features panels with fishery experts and sustainable seafood pioneers.
Paley's Place is named one of "The Best Classic Restaurants in Every State" in a Food & Wine piece celebrating the finest old-school culinary institutions.
Vitaly appears in the 18th — and most recent — season of Bravo's "Top Chef" as a guest judge for the quick-fire challenge. Catch the replay in Episode 12, where the four remaining Portland chefs create a modern dish with ingredients likely available to pioneers on the Oregon Trail.
Headwaters, Imperial, Rosa Rosa and The Crown, his new restaurant focused on pizza, close due to pandemic-related strains.
Vitaly is highlighted in the Oregon truffle segment on OPB's "Superabundant," a new video series on food and food systems in the Pacific Northwest.
The Paleys will hold their final dinner service at Paley's Place Thanksgiving weekend.
2022 and beyond...
When one door closes, another opens. OWP looks forward to what's next.
Gratitude & Friendship
A Letter from Andrea Johnson
I know I'm not alone in the shock I felt discovering Paley's Place was soon to close. Even in a year of constant closures, the news felt surreal, like a punch to the gut. For me, it's multi-layered: Over the last 26 years, Vitaly and Kimberly Paley have been an integral part of Portland's culinary scene, the surrounding wine country and, for more than a decade, my own family.
I've photographed the Paleys numerous times at their restaurants, including Imperial, Headwaters and Rosa Rosa — all three closed in 2020 as casualties of the pandemic. They were always incredibly gracious, from offering real-time advice on my first assignment photographing a chef preparing a meal — so many moving parts — to allowing me to take over half of Rosa Rosa for a lifestyle photoshoot with actor/winery owner Kyle MacLachlan. Not to mention, Vitaly was unanimously recommended by wineries to write the foreword to my fourth wine book, "Spectacular Wineries of Oregon."
I've been fortunate to call Kimberly and Vito — as many colleagues call him — dear friends. For many years, I've celebrated nearly every holiday, birthday and special occasion at one of their tables. I've sought their hospitality in tough times, too, especially during the pandemic with its social distancing, my father's diagnosis of Alzheimer's and major photography projects canceled, for obvious reasons. Yet, no matter the life event, Vito and Kimberly have repeatedly been there, nourishing both body and soul.
During the difficult days early in the pandemic, their determination, grit and passion never wavered. The Paleys kept us inspired to cook at home with an Instagram live series, warmed our hearts with contributions to Feed the Mass, a nonprofit for the food-insecure, and continued to innovate with "Paley's at Your Place," a carry-out solution during the darkest days of the pandemic. When an ice storm hit Portland the day before their sold-out Valentine's Day orders were to be delivered, the Paleys booked a nearby hotel to make sure they could successfully execute the special dinners.
No matter the obstacle, every meal and experience has always been exquisitely done and, no doubt, will be until their final dinner service Thanksgiving weekend.
I sent a heartfelt email in response the restaurant's official closing announcement; Vito quickly replied, "Thank you, Andrea, for the loveliest of words. The time came for us to ride into the sunset. The last couple of years helped us refocus and identify our priorities in life. If it was 10 years ago, we would fight right through it all with gusto and ease. But now, we want to put ourselves first and spend more time together as well as have time and energy for family and friends."
Chatting with Kimberly before this OWP cover photoshoot, she confided, "What gives us strength and support and so much gratitude is all our customers and our staff. COVID just got in the way and created another layer of fatigue and exhaustion. We wanted to go out healthy, to go out on a high." I asked them what emotion they wanted to convey in their portrait; their answer was simple: "No regrets."
Their future retirement surely looks bright and adventurous, too. In fact, I've run into them abroad, in a remote cenote in Tulum, Mexico. In 2019, on the last day of a yoga retreat with my fellow wine friend, Shirley Brooks of Elk Cove Vineyards, we decided to take a private tour. Although it was a visually stunning scene, I took only a few photos before diving into the water, enjoying the moment sans camera.
I'll never forget my astonishment in seeing two figures emerge from the dark cavern. I heard a familiar voice call out "Andrea?!" In disbelief, I replied, "Vito, Kimberly?!" By total coincidence, the Paleys were the only other people in the cenote, not to mention on a private tour with a professional photographer.
Although we all had sought this location for its solitude, there we were, 4,000 miles from home, serendipitously exploring the natural wonder and enjoying every moment, together. The solid connection to the Paleys was now even stronger.
The chance meeting in Mexico and the many memories made in Portland makes letting go of Paley's Place a truly difficult task. I am fortunate to have made reservations for Thanksgiving before the announcement was made. There, with my parents, we will enjoy one last meal at Paley's Place. I know it will be filled with gratitude and bittersweet goodbyes.
Although we may forget the finer details of each dining experience, my family will always remember the connection and sense of community the Paleys crafted here in Portland and the greater wine community, too.
Thank you, Vito and Kimberly. Your hospitality, your amazing menus and your influence were nothing short of spectacular. Hope to run into you on your next, well-deserved adventure. Cheers!
Thanks & Good Luck
"The closing of Paley's Place signals the end of a golden age in Portland restaurants. Paley's Place was the first restaurant to carry Furioso wines in Portland. Our collaborations with Chef Paley over the years resulted in many hours of world-class cuisine, incredible food and amazing events. We wish them fair winds and following seas on their next adventure."
—Jim Maguire, Furioso Vineyards
"For at least 16 years, Vitaly, Kimberly and Paley's Place have been very generous donors to the Classic Wines
Auction/Foundation. Vitaly has donated his time and talents as a featured chef at our auction; he has traveled to Highland Hills Ranch, Oregon wine country and private homes to prepare meals for our guests; Paley's Place has hosted many winemaker dinner fundraising events and they have donated gift certificates and cookbooks. Their generosity and commitment to their community has made a significant impact and is greatly appreciated."
—Kristy Anderson, Classic Wines Auction
"It was at Paley's Place in the late '90s, where we first fell in love with Oregon Pinot. Paley's extensive local wine list was our education. We owe Paley's Place a debt of gratitude for convincing my partner Aedan and me to move here. They will be missed."
—Dahe Good, Customer/Good Land Company
"Vitaly and Kimberly set a very high bar for the farm-to-fork movement along with, hands down, the best front-of-the-house hospitality in Portland. Whether you ordered one of Vito's famous burgers or a five-course meal, you were welcomed warmly and treated as if you were the only diners in the room. We have watched Kimberly and Vito pivot through so many challenges in the restaurant world over the last 25-plus years, and they never once missed a step, making sure every dining experience was amazing. They are the hardest working couple in the culinary world, and they will be missed. That said, their culinary legacy will continue to set the standard for dining in the Pacific Northwest."
—Lynn Penner-Ash, Penner-Ash Wine Cellars
"Paley's Place always put Oregon first, whether it was greens, olive oil, meat or wine. Vitaly and Kimberly ran Paley's Place with an unparalleled loyalty to Oregon producers, welcoming both the established wineries and the new kids on the block. From the very beginning, they embodied the real sense of place that we all take for granted now. They paved the way for so many and played a major role in putting Portland and Oregon on the map. We owe them our gratitude and our well wishes for their next chapter. Merci, Kimberly and Vitaly!"
—Kayt Mathers, Play Nice Public Relations
"Over the years, in my role as culinary director of the Oregon Truffle Festival, I have worked with many great chefs from around the world. It is not often I get to work with a chef who is as lovely a human being as they are talented in the kitchen, yet Vito qualifies on both counts. Down to earth and approachable but also a consummate professional with phenomenal culinary instincts, Vito has long been one of my very favorite chefs to work with. He has been a huge supporter, not only of OTF events but Oregon truffles in general. Vito brings the same love he has for our truffles to every aspect of Oregon's natural bounty, and we honestly can't imagine what Portland's culinary scene would look like without his residency at Paley's Place these last 26 years. It is not hyperbole to say he is synonymous with Northwest cuisine. All of us at OTF hope Vitaly will continue to be a part of showcasing Oregon's world-class truffles, and it is with deep gratitude and respect that we say, thank you, friend and chef, for all you represent to our region and for all the lives you've touched on the journey."
—Leslie Scott, Oregon Truffle Festival
"Vito and Kimberly arrived in Portland from New York with a dream: a chef-owned/family-run restaurant where superior cuisine — food with heart and soul — could be spread out on a white table cloth by consummate professionals dedicated to a thoughtful, humane enterprise. The Paleys made that dream come true, and even more, to the benefit of the entire Northwest culinary scene. I worry for today's dreamers. I'm just not sure that can happen in Portland ever again."
—Doug Tunnell, Brick House Vineyards & Wine Company

Nevada GOP Sends Criminal Referral To Barr Alleging Thousands Of Cases Of Voter Fraud
Nov 6, 2020 DailyWire.com
The Nevada Republican Party sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice on Thursday alleging thousands of examples of voter fraud.
"Our lawyers just sent a criminal referral to AG Barr regarding at least 3,062 instances of voter fraud," the Nevada Republican Party said in a statement. "We expect that number to grow substantially. Thousands of individuals have been identified who appear to have violated the law by casting ballots after they moved from NV."
Fox News reported that a Justice Department spokesperson confirmed to the network that the criminal referral was received and that "attorneys will follow the standard practice of investigating."
Our lawyers just sent a criminal referral to AG Barr regarding at least 3,062 instances of voter fraud. We expect that number to grow substantially. Thousands of individuals have been identified who appear to have violated the law by casting ballots after they moved from NV.
— Nevada GOP (@NVGOP) November 6, 2020
CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge tweeted out a photo of the letter that the party's legal team sent to Attorney General William Barr.
"This firm, in conjunction with Harvey & Binnall, PLLC, represents Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. We write to bring to your attention criminal voter fraud in the state of Nevada in the 2020 general election," the letter states. "Specifically, we have initially identified 3,062 individuals who appear to have improperly cast mail ballots in the election."
"We verified this by cross-referencing the names and addresses of voters with the National Change/of Address database," the letter continued. "Enclosed, please find a letter sent to Joseph Gloria, the Clark County Registrar, outlining our findings."
"We also anticipate that the final list of fraudulent ballots will grow substantially and we will update you as we learn more," the letter continued. "Of course, voter fraud is a serious federal felony, one that cuts to the heart of our representative democracy. We understand that these are serious allegations and we don't make them lightly."

The Nevada GOP "shared a photo of a mail-in ballot from Washoe County, along with a caption that claimed four mail-in ballots were cast by voters under age 18, with one registered as a Democrat and three registered with no party affiliation," Fox News added.
"NV ballots for kids? 4 MAIL votes cast in Washoe Co by people UNDER-18! 1 Dem & 3 NP," the party claimed in a tweet. "Father of a 17 yo who registered & received ballot thankfully contacted county re: his ineligibility… The Radical Left dreams to lower voting age but… they can't legally vote!"

A press release this afternoon from Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske stated:
After this morning's vote tally update, approximately 190,150 ballots statewide remain to be counted. Of this total, 123,554 are ballots that were either returned by mail or dropped of in person at a ballot drop-off location. The remaining 66,596 are ballots that were cast in person at a polling place, either during early voting or on Election Day, by voters who took advantage of Nevada's new same-day voter registration law. Of the total ballots remaining to be counted, 90 percent are in Clark County.
Under Nevada law, mail ballots postmarked on or before Election Day and received no later than 5:00 pm on November 10 will be counted. This means there is an unknown number of ballots currently in the U.S. Postal Service mail stream that contain a postmark dated November 3 or earlier that will ultimately be counted if they arrive by 5:00 pm on November 10. We cannot estimate with any degree of accuracy how many ballots might fall into this category.
In addition to the approximately 190,650 ballots remaining to be counted, there are two categories of ballots that are uncounted and will remain uncounted unless the voter takes the required action necessary for the ballot to be counted. First, there are approximately 2,500 provisional ballots that were cast under the requirements of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). These ballots will only be counted if the voter satisfies the required conditions by 5:00 pm on November 6. Second, there are approximately 3,500 mail ballots that require a signature cure. A signature cure is needed if the voter forgets to sign their ballot return envelope or if the signature on their ballot return envelope does not match the signature on file for the voter. Voters have until 5:00 pm on November 12 to successfully cure their signature.
Under state law, all ballots must be counted by the end of the day on November 12. This means complete unofficial election results will not be available until the morning of November 13. Election results do not become official until after certification. Certification must occur on or before November 16. For more information about the post-election processes in Nevada, see the FAQs posted on the Secretary of State's website.

At the recently concluded EICMA 2018, Honda unveiled the all-new CB1000RR. The bike has been given a mild update for 2019 and that too in the electronics section. The Honda's well-known superbike gets separate wheelie and traction control. As an added benefit, riders can have a different amount of interventions, meaning wheelie control can be dialed up high but with less traction control, and vice versa. A separate 'W' three-position setting is now seen on the instrument console, alongside the engine braking, power, and traction control setting. The new Honda CBR1000RR gets slightly tweaked ABS setting. Also, it gets less intervention above 120 kmph. The electronics offer 15 percent more deceleration. The throttle plates now react more quickly to rider's input, and the ride-by-throttle is faster than before.
Apart from all these electronic and performance enhancements, Honda has also introduced new color and livery options for both the standard and SP version.

CBR1000RR is available in 2 different colors - Matte Black and Grand Prix Red.

Brigham and Women's Hospital shooting: Doctor shot inside hospital, gunman killed himself (Video)
Brigham and Women's Hospital shooting: Doctor shot inside hospital, gunman killed himself (Video)
Posted by: News Jan 20, 2015	in World Leave a comment
Boston Police confirmed a shot inside Brigham and Women's Hospital had life-threatening injuries Tuesday and the suspected gunman had killed himself.
Boston Police said the victim was shot twice and has life-threatening injuries. A source said the victim is a male surgeon, but at this time, the hospital said it will not be releasing any information about him.
The shooting occurred around 11 a.m. in the Shapiro Cardiovascular Center at 75 Francis St., which was temporarily placed in lockdown. The rest of the hospital was not in lockdown and the hospital and police now say the situation is under control.
"At this time, there's no threat out there. The area's secure," Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said at a press conference with hospital officials Tuesday afternoon.
He said the first calls were received at 11:04 a.m. reporting a shooting at the hospital. Minutes later another caller reported that a doctor had been shot. He said the shooter came into the hospital and asked for the doctor by name.
"He was targeted, and the reason right now is not clear," Evans said. "There's something in the past that upset this guy to come in looking for this particular doctor … Our prayers go out to his wife, and we all pull for his speedy recovery."
When police arrived at the hospital, they made their way to the second floor and found a man they believe to be the suspect inside an examining room, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The gun believed to have been used in the shootings was found beside him.
Evans said the shooter was not a doctor, and police don't believe he was a patient at the hospital. Before he was found dead, the shooter was described to police as a 6 foot tall male with glasses, wearing beige khakis and a blue sweater.
The hospital said there are no metal detectors at the facility, but that could be something that will be considered in the future.
"We've had a very tragic situation here this morning," hospital President Betsy Nabel said. "I want to thank the Boston Police Department for doing an extraordinary job of responding rapidly. I want everyone to know that all of us here at Brigham and Women's Hospital are alert, have responded, we are available now for all who have been affected by this situation, and we will continue to make all the resources of the hospital avilable to those who have been affected in any way."
"It was a great response by not only my officers but the hospital," added Evans. "I've got to commend their response. We had a dangerous situation here, but they did everything they could to neutralize it."

The fleeting memory of December 1970
In December 1970 violent riots broke out in the Polish cities of Szczecin and Gdynia, while in Gdańsk strikers surrounded the seat of the Polish United Workers' Party. Clashes with militia erupted and the central committee of the communist party decided to brutally quell the rebellion. These events became an important founding myth for the struggle against the communist authorities. Fifty years later, how are these events remembered?
In December 1970, 14 years had passed since Wiesław Gomułka became the first secretary of the communist party in the People's Republic of Poland. At that time, both the thaw of 1956, which allowed Gomułka to return to power, and hope for reforms that he promised (the so-called Polish way to socialism) were already a fading memory. It was not the right moment for a nostalgic journey to the past. And with Christmas just around the corner, everyone was busy stockpiling goods that were hard to come by.
November 16, 2020 - Piotr Leszczyński
The memory and experience of 1980
An interview with Cezary Obracht-Prądzyński, sociologist and professor at Gdańsk University. Interviewer: Piotr Leszczyński
PIOTR LESZCZYŃSKI: What was the phenomenon of August 1989 in Poland? What took place at that time in the Gdańsk Shipyard, and what can this experience tell us now about Polish society of that time?
CEZARY OBRACHT-PRĄDZYŃSKI: It is not easy to talk about Solidarity. We do not have one position that would allow us to interpret the events, the causes and effects of the strike – both the experience and the memory of Solidarity have been very diverse. Solidarity was a very heterogenous movement from the beginning. It is remembered differently by people who worked and lived in Gdańsk and witnessed these events, who got to see what was taking place in the shipyard. Their perspective was unlike those who lived in other parts of the country and were forced to rely on information broadcasted by state media.

THE OBSESSED was formed in the late 1970's in Potomac, Maryland by legendary guitarist Scott "Wino" Wenrich (Saint Vitus/Spirit Caravan). The band spawned in the realm of musicians/artists such as Black Sabbath, Frank Zappa, The Dictators and The Stooges. Wino announced the full-time return of THE OBSESSED in March 2016 and the band's official signing to Relapse Records to record the follow up to The Church Within. Now in 2017, THE OBSESSED will unleash Sacred, the band's first studio album in in over 20 years. The band will perform once again as three piece featuring Wino, Reid Raley and Brian Costantino.


H.R. 4297 eliminates the current priority of service for low-income adults and those with barriers to employment. Without priority, dislocated workers, youth, older workers, and those in areas of highest unemployment would continue to be at a disadvantage. Low-income adults now represent only about half of those receiving intensive services or training services with adult employment and training funding, despite their increased rates of unemployment. Elimination of the priority of services, including necessary supportive services like child care and transportation, would further weaken access to these services to low-income adults and youth.
In fact, a WIA bill that "focused specifically on low-income communities and vulnerable populations" would be an interesting piece of legislation.

L.H. Charney refis 1441 Broadway with $185M MetLife loan
Company founder died in March at age 77
Aug.August 31, 2016 12:22 PM
By Rich Bockmann
L.H. Charney & Associates refinanced its 460,000-square-foot office tower at 1441 Broadway with a $185 million loan from Metropolitan Life Insurance.
The landlord, whose namesake founder died earlier this year at the age of 77, replaced $183 million in existing debt and landed a $2 million gap loan from the insurer, according to property records filed with the city Wednesday.
Company president Bruce Block said the original loan's term was coming due, and declined to comment on the rate secured with MetLife.
Steve Kohn and Alex Hernandez at Cushman & Wakefield secured the new financing on behalf of the borrower.
L.H. Charney & Associates is currently repositioning some 74,000 square feet of retail at the base of the 34-story tower after Office Depot shuttered its last location in the city there in 2014.
Office tenants include Jones New York, which has just shy of 105,000 square feet in the tower, and shared-office provider Jay Suites, which expanded late last year to 69,000 square feet.
Company founder Leon Charney, who died in March, controlled more than 1.5 million square feet of commercial space in Manhattan, including the property at 1441 and the nearby 367,000-square-foot building at 1410 Broadway.

Russian Fisherman Posts Terrifying Creatures Of The Deep Sea (90 New Pics)
There are countless mysteries hiding under the surface of the ocean. But despite the fact that a whopping 71 percent of the Earth's surface is covered in water, we don't know all that much about marine life. Over 80 percent of the planet's oceans remain unexplored even though they represent the vast majority of the biosphere. We might be landing rovers on Mars, but there are still lots of things to uncover here back home as well.
However, there are some people who help shed some light on the secrets beneath the waves. One of them is photographer and deep-sea fisherman Roman Fedortsov from Russia who spends most of his time on fishing trawlers. He takes photos of some of the most intriguing creatures he encounters in his line of work and posts them online where they often go viral for their bizarre beauty and their intriguing creepiness that you can't help but look at.
Scroll down to go deep into the abyss, dear Pandas, and upvote the photos by Roman that you enjoyed looking at the most. Bored Panda reached out to Roman and he was kind enough to go into detail about his work and life. Scroll down for our interview with him. And if you'd like to see more mysterious catches from the depths of the ocean, you can read Bored Panda's earlier articles about the fisherman's photography right here and over here.
A small note of warning, dear Pandas: some of these undersea fish and other creatures look a tiny bit disturbing. Others… are pure nightmare fuel. So keep that in mind and don't be scared. Remember, just because something's different doesn't make it bad.

#1 "Gorgonocephalus Is A Genus Of Marine Basket Stars In The Class Ophiuroidea"
"Members of this genus are found in coldwater environments including the Arctic, the Antarctic, and deep-sea habitats.
Members of this genus have a central disc with five arms which repeatedly bifurcate, dichotomously branching into smaller and smaller subdivisions.
The branches and branchlets twist and coil and may ensnare small crustaceans that come within reach such as the northern krill."

#2 "Now I Am Very Sorry That I Did Not Take More Pictures Of This Sea Creature – Deep Sea Angler"
#3 "Wolffish, Also Known As Sea Wolves Or Wolf Eel"
"Wolffish are not aggressive. They feed on slow-moving or sedentary prey such as sea urchins, crabs, molluscs and large snails.
The largest specimen recorded measured 1.5 m long and weighed almost 25 kg"
On his social media profiles, fisherman Roman writes that "the abyss is a little deeper than you think" and that "the sky behind the stern is always beautiful," showing that he has a very romantic and down-to-earth appreciation of sailing, nature, and the sea.
The fisherman works in Murmansk in the Northwestern part of Russia and started sharing his unusual photographs back in 2016. He has around two decades of experience working on a trawler.
Roman told Bored Panda that he is an expert in fish processing, so his main task is preparing fish for freezing and then delivering that to the customer. That is his main focus at work on the trawler where he manages a group of workers.
#4 "Elon Musk, Bring Me Anything Like That From Mars"
#5 Fangtooth
#6 "I Think That Whitening Strips Will Not Help In This Situation (Wolffish)"
When not managing his other colleagues who help with processing fish on the trawler during their six-hour watches, Roman spends his time resting, socializing, or focusing on his hobbies. "We usually spend Our free time having a meal, watching TV, and sleeping. But I usually take photos of strange deep-sea creatures," he shared.
His job takes him sailing across many different areas, including the Atlantic Ocean, the Norwegian Sea, and the Barents Sea. He explained to Bored Panda that he and his fellow fishermen work in six-hour cycles when aboard a trawler. That means that they work for six hours, rest for six hours, and then repeat everything.
#7 "Sea Anemones (Sea Anemones) Are Predatory Invertebrates"
"They have no skeleton. The supporting function of them takes the intestinal cavity. At the pole of the body is a slit-shaped mouth, surrounded by a nimbus of tentacles. Their tentacles have gills that are poisonous. Although sea anemones are mainly poisonous only for their prey, some species are toxic to humans. There are more than 1000 varieties. They feed on zooplankton, mussels, fish and shrimps. Sea anemones feed on food and excrete waste products through the same hole."
#8 Leatherfin Lumpsucker
Roman said that it has been so long since he saw his first strange sea creature, that he can't remember the exact time anymore. "It was too much time ago when I caught my first deep-sea fish. I think it looked like any of the fish that I am catching now," he told Bored Panda.
According to the fisherman, the strange creatures that they catch on the trawler live between 300 meters and 1 kilometer underneath the surface of the ocean. "Some of the sea creatures are still alive when they are on board the ship, and we set them free. But mostly, they do not survive, unfortunately," he was very open about the fact that not every peculiar fish makes it back to their homes in the dark ocean depths.
#10 Cool Creature

#11 "I Don't Know What It Was… Maybe Sea Anemone. Looks Pretty And Unusual. Soft To The Touch"
#12 "I've Met A Very Unusual, Interesting Fish!"
"I was able to find how it is called in English, Latin, but NOT in Russian language…
The specialist from PINRO was very surprised when he saw this fish for his very first time, but, anyway, he was able to tell me what kind of fish it is…⠀ He also, mentioned that, that type of fish is very uncommon to find here, that is why this fish has no particular name in Russian language…⠀ Here we are!
Jaggedhead gurnard (Gargariscus, Armored searobins or armored gurnards)⠀ Sounds like knight!
You can find him in Eastern part of Indian ocean, as well as, in Western part of Pacific ocean. This is a deep ocean fish, he lives up to 300 m down in a deep. His length is up to 30 cm long. It is the only known member of its genus.
This is all the information you can find in the Internet about Jaggedhead gurnard, not more…"
"I have been sharing my photos of deep-sea creatures for some years and of course, I was surprised by the popularity of my accounts at the present moment," he said that he wanted to spread awareness about how some of these creatures look like across the internet because they left a very deep impression on him. Roman has always had a very curious outlook towards these fish and other denizens of the deep: they don't scare him, even though they might frighten us.
#13 Tusk
#14 "The Gifts Of The Sea"
#15 "Is It A Sea Cheeseburger With Teeth?"
Roman has been working onboard trawlers for the past two decades. "I live in Murmansk, Russia. It is a big port, and that's why I enrolled in the Marine University after school. My specialization has a lot to do with fishing technology. I know how to prepare fish for freezing and further delivery to the customer," he told Bored Panda during an earlier interview.
"We are to catch commercial fish such as Cod, Haddock, Halibut, Redfish, Herring, Mackerel, and so on. The most extreme fish I have ever caught are Frilled Shark, Rabbitfish, Big Sunfish, Angler, Stoplight Loosejaw," he said earlier.
"During my watch, I work at the fish factory. I'm responsible for processing the fish, so I have to control other seamen while they're working, too," Roman explained what his job on the trawler was.
#16 "The Right Angle Is The Most Important"
#18 Cuttlefish
Roman's photography has earned him a very solid following online. He has over 644k fans on Instagram, as well as 137.6k additional followers over on Twitter. However, some people take issue with Roman's photos, believing that deep-sea creatures should be left alone and shouldn't be brought up to the water surface. The photographer takes things in stride and says, "Politics is politics, but you have to fish."
#19 "Wolffish vs. Isopod. Interesting Situation"
#20 Arctic Skate
#21 Haddock
Previously, Bored Panda wrote about various phobias related to water and the ocean and interviewed DSD Divemaster Alastair Bailey. He shared with us that he completely trusts his gear, so he never had any qualms or fears about learning to dive underwater.
"For me, it was just having faith in the equipment. Same as anything, you trust a microwave won't blow up in your face, or your car will start. Yeah, accidents happen but as long as you do everything correctly then you minimize those risks," he explained.
#22 Halibut
#23 "This Fish That Stares Right Into You"
#24 "The Point Is To Choose The Right Perspective! Then Ordinary Fish Will Look Like A Monster"
"I had a couple of people lying about their air when I first started guiding people. For me, it was scary because I didn't think people would be that stupid. Running out of air puts everyone in that group in a dangerous and stupid position," the DSD Divemaster revealed how some diving amateurs aren't open and honest and this harms everyone.
#25 "It's Just A Halibut, And Looks Like A Cyclops"
#26 Skate
#27 The European Plaice
"I have had a person start vomiting underwater while guiding a group and other stupid behavior or panicked divers, but you train and get taught how to deal with those things which makes it more manageable. I have never had a gear failure, ripped hose, broken regulator, or anything, so all in all pretty lucky," he said.
"I had a humpback whale swim over us which was pretty awesome," the diver said. "And diving with manta rays is always stunning. Unfortunately, I have never found any treasure, but I have found some shark's teeth."

Time passes and sometimes all one needs is a thread to link him to his past, a picture to lead him to exactly that moment frozen in time, a memento to touch and feel and in the process go back in time just to relive all those experiences, the old yet golden days of one's existence that often fades away with time if not for the presence of an object that stays with him in his present.
That precisely should be the motivation behind a startup like Campus Sutra that aims to create a link between a person's 'most cherished' days and the future that he plans to head to.
Before we go further, take a moment off to think about it. Imagine yourself sitting and looking out of your window. There are vehicles buzzing past, people rushing back home after a busy day. The stars are beginning to shine. The view below is of the Marine Drive that glistens and reminds you of the countless evenings you spent with your college buddies- either cracking jokes or playing pranks or even discussing some of the oh-so-important career decisions that would determine your future course of life. Suddenly one of you bursts off laughing and pats your shoulder and says- Chill buddy! Right now, enjoy the scenic beauty (whatever caught your fancy at that moment. I wouldn't get into the details because you know that better! ;)).
You break out of your reverie and lo and behold! You seem to be wearing that very same 'hoodie' you wore that day! Was it the hoodie that took you back to those times? Might be! But who cares, you just had a great time and you gently stroke your sleeves and the creases settle down, settling your otherwise jumbled up mind because that's exactly why you had opened your wardrobe, took out that hoodie, wore it and sat near your window when there were so many other things to have been dealt with! Procrastination eh? Naa.. You needed to get back to the wondrous phase of your life that you suddenly seemed to miss a lot.
We at Startoholics, had the opportunity to get in touch with Campus Sutra, one such startup that caters to the people who wish to be linked by a common emotion throughout their lives as a memento when they bid goodbyes to their group to head forward or just wish to ink their togetherness with a mark that would stay for a long time.
Could you shed light on your life before Campus Sutra? What was your previous work?
The ship at Campus Sutra is captained by Khushboo and Sonal Agarwal. Before starting Campus Sutra, Khushboo was in charge of handling crucial business operations at Order Book, a corporate gifting venture which had acquired more than 80 corporate clients. Her insight into business comes from her specialisation in Operations & Finance which she acquired with an MBA and her experience of working in the industry. The Design Head, Sonal's education at National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) with work experience at Quetsel incites her designs that are both creative and unique.
A disappointed return from an Alumni Meet at Khushboo's college triggered the idea. The cause of disappointment was a stall put up in the college campus for selling customised merchandise. Khushboo's delight of cherishing the old memories was hit by the low quality of products on display at the stall. Not only did it make her feel bad, it also encouraged her to make way into the competitive market of customised merchandising by bringing in changes such as high quality of products, proficient supply chain and competitive pricing. This was the start of a change that has made way through difficulties to stand as Campus Sutra.
How did you take your first step towards Campus Sutra? Did you receive any funding from angel investors?
The initial capital invested in Campus Sutra has come from personal savings and borrowing from family and friends. Looking out for investors in the initial stages of the business is something that we do not believe in. Having said that, once the brand grows further with time, we'll look towards approaching potential investors to enhance the company's commerce.
What differentiates Campus Sutra from the rest of your competitors?
The aim has always been to stir up the market's conventions and bring about a change in how people perceive customized merchandising and the quality of service, at large.
Right from the beginning, we at Campus Sutra have made it a certainty that high quality of our product range, proficient supply chain and competitive pricing is maintained throughout all business orders served. The team works day in and day out in ensuring that we cater to a wide range of orders from varied customers with utmost priority given to quality of service and products. Our attempts at constantly improving the range of products and their variety have helped us make a mark different from others.
Embedded perceptions in customers' minds about customized merchandise was the first difficulty to pass through. It has been a common perception that customized products are of low quality and least to mention, hard to get delivered on time. Over time, the unorganized players in the market and discrepancies in their services have made these notions grow.
The team at Campus Sutra has been successful to change our customers' perceptions by providing them with a wide range of high quality products which are both unique and reasonably priced. A major change was brought into the picture by setting up a widespread supply chain that would deliver swiftly across the country and abroad. The number of products sold has crossed the mark of 3, 26,501 today and we are still counting.
Do you have an international portal too?
The company's international presence is at UAE. As an attempt to widen the brand's reach, this is just the first step with many more to follow.
What more do you wish to include to take Campus Sutra to the next level?
The expansion would be made both in terms of product range and also, business tie ups with organizations. Bringing in innovative changes to the look and feel of the products has also been on the cards. This is what led to the tie up with Swarovski, which would result in specific T-shirts with precious stones embedded on them in place of embroidery or a printed design. It just marks the beginning of endless ideas coming in the near future.
Finally, what advice would you like to give to other young entrepreneurs?
A 'belief' is all you need for doing wonders. The young entrepreneurs need to believe in their ideas and in the fact that they can enter into a competitive market and turn it all around.
One misconception that they need to get done with is that e-commerce is all about setting up an e-commerce website and thinking that everything's ready to be served on the table. No, it's not only about that. Setting up a website won't bring in satisfied customers and most importantly, strengthen your business in the longer run. Knowing the nuances thoroughly before making use of them must be one of the first things on the checklist.
Lastly, focus your business on your customers and not yourself. What you want barely matters, what matters is the customers' needs and wants.

Xiaomi Mi Note 10: Best Mid-Range Camera?
Published by Lumoid Staff on May 25, 2020
Xiaomi Mi Note 10 DEALS
The world is slowly sitting up and taking notice of newer phone brands. And as one brand that has consistently sold affordable devices, Xiaomi is gradually inching its way out of obscurity. One of the latest additions to the Chinese manufacturer's catalog is the world's best mid-range snapper, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10.
As you probably can already tell, the highlight of the Mi Note 10 is its camera. It has one of the best smartphone cameras available, and pictures taken on this phone are comparable to those taken with some higher-end digital cameras. However, while the camera is an unexpected treat, that's not the only feature worth talking about.
At 6.47 inches long, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 falls between being small enough to hold and too big to handle. Its edges are rounded, making it easier to hold. The phone measures 157.8 x 74.2 x 9.7mm, so it is rather thick. This thickness is reflected in its weight: 208g.
Around the bottom edge sits a standard USB-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. You don't have to use Bluetooth with this one. The hardware is all set up. You've also got a power button and volume button stationed on the right side. Both are within easy reach for most people.
While the phone has a somewhat smooth aesthetic, the rear camera bump ruins it. The lump is large, so its edges protrude from the phone. Because of this, it's easy to get scuffed and scratched. Users will have to take care of the back so that bump doesn't become overly marked.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 uses an AMOLED panel for a screen. The screen resolution is 1080 x 2340. Though AMOLED screens are usually pretty good, it's not often that you see this level of screen quality on a mid-tier phone. The contrast between colors is excellent, and at full brightness, the Mi Note 10 can reach up to 437 nits. However, when you activate auto-brightness in a brightly-lit place, the phone's brightness can reach nearly 600 nits.
The back and front are made from Gorilla Glass 5, so it is pretty scratch resistant. When the phone is switched on, it has a bluish-white tint. This can easily be solved by changing the three-color saturations.
Most of this phone's weight comes from its battery, so it'd have been disappointing if the battery wasn't a high-capacity one. No reason to worry, though. The Mi Note 10's battery capacity is 5260 mAh, much larger than any of Xiaomi's previous devices.
The phone comes with a 30W charger that has fast-charge. Using the factory-made charger, a dead Mi Note 10 can be brought up to 50 percent charge in about half an hour. If you're set on this phone, ensure you hold on to that charger because it's the only one that can activate the fast-charge feature. It would take hours on end to charge a dead Mi Note 10 to full battery with another charger.
It is worthy of note, though, that just browsing the internet or leaving your Xiaomi Mi Note 10 in standby mode drains more battery than even video-watching. This is a problem, but a fix is possible within the next software update.
The phone houses a RAM of 6GB, and its internal storage is 128GB. Of course, you can upgrade to the Pro version, which has 8GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage. It may be because of the relatively high internal storage, but Xiaomi did not add a microSD card to this phone.
The fingerprint sensor works great, with few rejections due to wet or dirty hands. Proximity sensors also work pretty well. Though the phone doesn't have the double-tap to wake feature, it wakes up as soon as you grab it. Cool!
Software and Performance
The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 boots the MIUI 11 straight out of the box. This OS was built around Android 9 (Pie). There's no app drawer, so your apps have to sit on, to the left, or to the right of the home screen. It also has Dark Mode that works well to conserve battery life.
The MIUI 11 allows you to take your pick of many themes. It also supports nature alarm sounds and notifications. However, some apps do have ads coming in periodically. Xiaomi does this to subsidize costs for buyers.
The Mi Note 10 has a Snapdragon 730G chip, one of the most powerful out there. This chip is only outdone by the new Snapdragon 865, the Snapdragon 855, and Exynos 9820. For CPU, it has an Octa-core with two Kryo 470 Gold, working at 2.2 GHz. It also has six 1.8 GHz Kryo 470 Silver. This is what makes this phone as power-efficient as it is.
Now, on to the main selling point – the camera. The Xiaomi Mi Note 10's camera is a Penta setup with three cameras within the big bump at the back and two below it. There's also one selfie camera in front installed at the top of the phone in a teardrop notch.
The five-camera setup allows you to choose between the different lenses, without having to attach smartphone lenses. The standard lens has a 108MP sensor. The Mi Note 10 is the first phone to have such a large sensor (it comes in at 1/1.33 inches), apart from Samsung.
The next lens is a 12MP 2x telephoto lens. After that, you have the lens that Xiaomi advertises as a 5x optical telephoto lens. Then, you get an ultra-wide lens and a macro lens.
The Mi Note 10's image quality is excellent, but it's far better in bright lighting conditions than in low-light conditions.
The Mi Note 10 has a row of speakers at its bottom. Its max volume is pretty high, but the speakers don't emphasize the bass. However, that doesn't mean that the headphones jack doesn't work well. The volume transitions well from speaker to headphone with equal loudness.
There was a bit of distortion but nothing too jarring.
How Does the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Compare?
Xiaomi doesn't release mid-range phones too often. So, when it does, obviously, we're going to compare. The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro was released around the same time as the Xiaomi Mi Note 10, so their specs are pretty much the same. However, there are still some differences.

Xiaomi Is Stealing the Limelight
In the right circle of mid-range phones, Xiaomi is slowly becoming well-known. It's continuously making mid-range-priced phones with high-end features.
However, there are still many glitches within its devices. But, instead of making new phones, we feel that Xiaomi should focus on making their existing devices better.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is a mid-range phone with several high-end features. However, it's not perfect. It has those fantastic cameras, except the third one is not a 5x optical camera, as claimed. The battery is massive, but standby and web usage are a huge drag. It's not a perfect phone but a good attempt.

Q: a pickled file exists but nothing in it OSError: SavedModel file does not exist at: {saved_model.pbtxt|saved_model.pb} I'm working on ActionAI(https://github.com/smellslikeml/ActionAI) which is a python library that classifies human actions.
I got this error running iva.py, the final script.

In models directory, classifier.sav is existing but empty and doesn't have pbtxt or pb.
This is train.py

    model = trainModel(config.csv_path, pipeline)

    # Dump the model to file
    pickle.dump(model, open(config.classifier_model, 'wb'), protocol=2)

I think pickle.dump(model, open(config.classifier_model, 'wb'), protocol=2) in train.py doesn't work properly.
I've tried changing the filename extension to pkl, h5, and pb but didn't work.
sudo apt install python3-h5py this command also changed nothing.

A: pickle.dump() should take open() as a second argument, i.e.:
import pickle

filename = 'your_pickle_filename.pkl'
pickle.dump(model, open(filename, 'wb'))

Oranżada - polski zespół rockowy założony w połowie lat 90. XX wieku w Otwocku.

Historia
Początkowo, w roku 1994, zespół nazywał się The Trip. W roku 1995 zmienił nazwę na Horror Vacui i używał jej do roku 1996. W latach 1996-2000 grupa używała nazwy Pawilony. Grali wówczas muzykę z pogranicza punku, muzyki hippisowskiej i noise. W roku 2000 po wewnętrznych sporach w grupie grupa przestała istnieć.

Muzycy zeszli się ponownie w roku 2002 i utworzyli dzisiejszą Oranżadę. Demo wysłane do audycji MiniMax (audycja) emitowanej w Programie III Polskiego Radia zaowocowało pojawieniem się utworu Ulice na płycie Minimax pl w 2003 roku. W roku 2004 Ars Mundi wydał ich pierwszy album Oranżada. Po wydaniu płyty Oranżada zaczęła grać koncerty za granicą w Niemczech. W roku 2006 muzycy wydali drugą płytę o nazwie Drzewa w sadzie zdzikły. Teledysk do jednego z utworów został nominowany do nagrody YAH Film.

W lutym 2010 roku na świat wyszła wydana przez OBUH Records trzecia płyta grupy o nazwie Samsara. Wraz z wydaniem trzeciego albumu zwracając się w kierunku znacznie bardziej przystępnych, melodyjnych, lecz nadal oryginalnych i autorskich kompozycji, spowitych miękkim brzmieniem.

Ich twórczość, początkowo klasyfikowana była jako krautrock, z czasem nabrała cech rocka awangardowego. Perkusista zespołu określił styl Oranżady jako zbyt awangardowy na pop i zbyt popowy na awangardę.

Festiwale
Zespół kilka razy występował w festiwalach muzycznych, teatralnych i filmowych m.in. na festiwalu minimax.pl, w roku 2006 na Klangbad Festival w Scheer w Badeni-Wirtembergii, w roku 2007 byli gościem Międzynarodowego Festiwalu Sztuki w Bremie. Występowali również na Open'er Festival w Gdyni, Ars Poetica oraz dawał koncerty w kraju i zagranicą. Zespół współpracował też przy produkcji programu "Taper" w TVP Kultura podkładając muzykę początkowo do niemego filmu "Charlie na kuracji" z Charlie Chaplinem, a w przyszłości również do filmów "Brzdąc", dokumentalnego "Hipnoza", japońskiego "Szalony Paź" i w roku 2009 do filmu "Rodziny Rozdzielone". W 2019 roku zespół podkładał muzykę w audycji w której Bogusław Linda czyta książkę Andrzeja Stasiuka "Wschód" (w Programie III Polskiego Radia).

Do utworów Oranżady "Statek tonie" i "Księżyc" dwa teledyski nakręciło studio filmowe Framka.

David's contribution to senior living architecture started in Dallas in the 1990's and accelerated greatly when he designed Edgemere in 1998. Since then he has designed one award-winning community after another. Although he is often on the dais of national and regional conventions (Leading Age, AIA, ULI, APA, Environments for Aging, et al) he has taken a life-long vow never to leave the drawing board.

From time to time we all need support. We're here for you. Catch up with whats happening with your fellow Yolgers in a new monthly podcast, 30 Dirty Minutes, soon to be released for your listening pleasure.
With DOOM out of the way I've selected Uncharted 4 to go back to and finish.
I left it, for no particular reason other than 'oh shiny' at chapter ten. After firing it up again I was in for a real treat. I've said before that this is probably the most attractive game I have ever seen running on a console and I stand by that. OMG this is so sweet. I love the characters and it was like getting together with some old friends again.
So here I go setting out on my epic quest. The challenge is before me and I'm ready to roll.
I'm going to try the first couple of posts by giving you some preamble about my time already spent with each game before I start playing and then an update after I get back into it.
First up is DOOM! I left this back in June to tackle something else, no idea what it was but rest assured it was new and shiny. Why did I leave it? Hmm, I think I was getting a little bored with it. It is a beautiful game but the relentless attack after attack by ever harder monsters was leaving me feeling a little beaten up. If I remember correctly I first played it in fits and starts and totally forgot the controls over and over without actually dedicating some proper play time to it.
that I've bought and not finished. The last couple of years has been great for gamers with a glut of fantastic AAA titles and Indie games.
Like a lot of us I couldn't stop myself hitting the buy button over and over again. This just doesn't make sense. The desire for the new and shiny is strong but not completing hundreds of pounds worth of great games is kinda crazy.
The realisation of this endless money pit has hit me and a plan to tackle my addcition has started to take shape.
I'm going to finish what I started.
The 30 Zone has been hit.
Catwoman may not be a virgin.
pgtips77 on Not an apology.
The 30 Dirty Minutes Podcast is your monthly support group to help you through The Year of Living Gamegerously.

He brings a vitality - he swings hard and I like that!
More Larry
JazzPolice, Aug 2016
On Larry Fuller Trio's mainstrage performance at Iowa City Jazz Festival: "Piano jazz titans Larry Fuller (Trio) presented a master class in swinging improvisation."
The Vancouver Sun, July 2016
On Larry Fuller Trio's appearance at the 2016 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival: "Recap: Top 10 highlights at the 2016 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival. The festival has blown its last note, plucked its last string and struck its last key. It's time to recap the 10 concert moments that took our breaths away and made us gaze in wonder.
Larry Fuller Trio:
Sometimes you can't beat old-school jazz. Pianist Fuller, in the company of American drummer Lewis Nash and Vancouver bassist Russ Botten, performed parallel lines and ringing chords in a set that ranged from Clifford Brown to Joni Mitchell, closing with a New Orleans second-line rhythm."
All About Jazz, November 2015
On Larry Fuller Trio at Jazz at Kitano NYC: "While jazz is a music founded and fed on innovation, it's also an art form steeped in tradition, forwarded through the passing of the torch to the next generation(s) in order to keep the life force of the music in good and capable hands. That fact was never as obvious as it was during Larry Fuller's appearance at Jazz at Kitano on a crisp autumn evening. The fifty-year-old pianist—the last person to man the eighty-eights in bassist Ray Brown's trio—showed that he's upholding his former employer's vision, swinging with gusto and seducing with heartfelt balladry. He also made clear that he's following Brown's lead via his adoption of bandstand mentorship tactics, sharing his hard-earned knowledge with two rising star rhythm players—bassist-vocalist Katie Thiroux and drummer Matt Witek."
JazzTimes, November 2014
On Larry Fuller's new album released on Capri Records: "Whether playing rapid-fire, intricate passages or subtly interpreting a tender ballad, Fuller is always totally in command and engaging."
Jazz Weekly, November 2014
On Larry Fuller's new album released on Capri Records: "Here's a winning trio disc from pianist Larry Fuller along with Hassan Shakur/b and Greg Hutchinson/dr…he's got a nice touch that is able to drive like a pack of Alaskan Huskies on boppers like "Daahoud" and "Celia" and get earthy on "C Jam Blues." His buoyancy on the ivories is infectious during pieces such as "At Long Last Love" where each touch sounds like a cheerful sonnet, while the more thoughtful tunes along the lines of "Close Enough For Love" come off like an aria. A smart call was a warm reading of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" and the blues comes out of his fingertips along with the empathetic teammates on a bluesy "Django." A blue plate special!"
NBC San Diego, October 2014
On Larry Fuller Trio's October performance in San Diego: "Years of experience in the bebop ethos (the 49-year-old Fuller was the last pianist in bass-legend Ray Brown's band) and a repertoire heavy on standards and jazz classics led to a night of heavy, ebullient swing."
All About Jazz, August 2014
On Larry Fuller's new album released on Capri Records: "Ray Brown may be gone, but the legacy of his trio is safe in the hands of people like Larry Fuller."
Audiophile Audition, August 2014
On Larry Fuller's new album released on Capri Records: "His effortless command of swing and stride piano stylings on his latest CD is striking."
Post-Gazette, January 2013
From Manchester Craftsman's Guild: "Mr. Fuller…generates his own incandescence with riveting solos that summarize the history of jazz piano, from Count Basie and Fats Waller to George Shearing, Erroll Garner, Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson."
Pioneer Press Twin Cities, December 2012
"Fuller is the [John Pizzarelli] quartet's "secret weapon," the masterful pianist was formerly part of the great bassist Ray Brown's fabled trio."
RVA News, AUbuntu 2012
Richmond Jazz Festival Review: "Pianist Larry Fuller put serious muscle into the keys, with a vocabulary gleaned from one of the most iconic jazz pianists of all time, the legendary Oscar Peterson. Fuller, having apprenticed under bassist Ray Brown for years, has an immediate connection to that hard driving, swinging piano tradition Peterson created. Brown was Peterson's longest-running collaborator in the pianist's trio. In Fuller, one can hear that tradition reverently on display, and the feeling left me (a fellow piano player) mesmerized."
International Review of Music, on the "Rockin in Rhythm" album, 2010
"…and pianist Larry Fuller's brilliant work throughout – especially the buoyant stride solo on "Rockin' In Rhythm" that nearly steals the record."
New York Times 2010, Stephen Holden
"A word about Mr. Fuller: In his amazing gossamer piano solos, he sprinkles stardust on whatever song he plays; you hold your breath in wonder."
New York Times, 2009, Stephen Holden
"Larry Fuller, the quartet's pianist, merits special attention. If you closed your eyes and concentrated on piano solos that flowed as lightly and sweetly as a mountain brook, you could swear he was channeling the musical spirit of one of Billie Holiday's greatest accompanists, Teddy Wilson."
From The Regina Leader-Post:
Those Unsung Artists
Larry Fuller: Please forgive the piano tangent, but you have to hear this man play. Fuller is a member of the John Pizzarelli Quartet. Pizzarelli is well-known, but the same does not apply to his pianist. With any justice, that will soon change. Fuller's two-handed runs are awe-inspiring.

Art has always been part of my life, it is what I excel at. All my work is a collaboration with nature and with thing that were. I first started to use recycled material in my art when I was in college to keep down the coast of material. That put me on a long journey that evolved over time as did my art. Also, travels to manny places like Santa Fe, with its Rio Grande high style & Indian art; the Adirondacks of NY and the craftsmen who built its great rustic camps, ...all of this and more have bored into my psyche and shaped my eye.
All of these adjectives have been used to describe my one of a kind green art furniture.
2017, I showed in two shows this year The Livermore spring show entered a fork art yardstick cabinet and won 3rd place and a special city award. In this years Marin Fair I took a honorable mention in fine art with a Canoe cabinet, Second place in art chair and a second place in recycled art.

" Prior to starting my own private practice in 2009, I worked in the corporate world as a senior manager so I have a great understanding of the many issues that can arise in the workplace. I have been working with clients since 2002 and the most common presenting problems I see are stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I work with all of these and much more. I enjoy working with clients to achieve their goals. One of my specialisms is helping people see the links between stress and the physical symptoms they may be experiencing. This more often than not leads to eradication of symptoms. Whatever problem you need help with, you can be assured of a non judgmental and confidential service.
