Photographs
and trinkets overflowing onto the cleared path beneath his feet, Dan
Brooks looks fondly upon his mothers 96 years of life, represented in an
art installation he and his daughter Treeya created, entitled,
Maybelle.Maybelle celebrates Seattle native Maybelle Brooks life through
her artwork, crafts, collections and pictures.
Mimicking the natural flow of a river, the exhibit displayed Maybelles collection of pressed flowers, dried mushrooms,I'm looking at getting the light bar from ford racing and was wondering who sells the Shun Stone Marble Tiles. nuts and greeting cards sent from friends over Maybelles life, snaking through four rooms of a vacant office building. At the mouth of the river rests two waterfalls, one composed of greeting cards from the 1930s and the other of crocheted doilies and tablecloths handmade by Maybelles mother. After she passed away we had all of this stuff, so we decided that we would put together a show to honor her, Treeya said.
We had [the installation] in the shape of a river to represent the flow of life, and water, how everything is constantly moving, Treeya said.Dan and his daughter Treeya put on the art installation celebrating Maybelles life through her lifelong collections and art work July 5 through 16. The exhibition was part of the Commercial Street Theater Project, a local groups effort to turn the office buildings into a community performance and gathering space.
The installation featured four generations of artwork in the family. Treeyas photography, Dans paintings, Maybelles brothers wood carvings and the dollhouse her father built for her as a little girl, were all interspersed with Maybelles crafty collections.Yesterday, the WSJ featured a piece explaining how the economy's "stuck in neutral." Today, it features"reasons for economic hope," including repaired balance sheets, the shale boom, reduced health care inflation, and falling budget deficits.
At the risk of being a little too folksy, I think the gear shift analogy is a good one (with the caveat that standard transmissions are a dying breed; I recently needed my 23-year-old assistant to park my car for me, but this highly capable young man had no idea how to drive a stick).If we think of the gears as points of real GDP growth, the U.S. is more in second gear than neutral (i.e., we're puttering along at around 2 percent). France is in neutral, the UK maybe shifting from neutral to first. The Euro area as a whole is in reverse, with Italy and Spain driving backwards pretty fast.
The problem here is that while the above list of positive developments from today's sunnier WSJ assessment is a good one, and every forecast I've seen has us growing faster pretty soon, the job market, even with recent gains, still remains slack. And as long as that's the case, it will be tough to accelerate to higher gears.
Then there's distribution. Protracted unemployment is a big reason why growth has flowed upwards. The real income of the typical household is down 5 percent over the recovery, corporate profitability is near an all-time high, the real S&P index is up 60 percent, and the compensation share of national income -- the stuff working people depend on -- is at a 50-year low.
Frankly, I'm worried. We're definitely doing better than Europe, but we have a problem they don't: structural inequalities are more deeply embedded in our economy than their economies. So, especially with the president about to hold forth on a pro-middle-class economic agenda, it's not enough to cite positive macro trends without considering whether they're reaching the broad swath of households whose economic prospects have been disconnected from growth for many years.
We may shift into higher gears, but if we're zipping along through gated neighborhoods in a Ferrari with no passengers from the bottom 99 percent, we'll still be in trouble.In other words, moving my folksy analogies from cars to arts-and-crafts, now is the time to get out the policy glue that can reconnect growth and middle-class prosperity. And that's what I expect to hear from the president later this week.
Three new tenants will fill three vacant retail buildings near Parmatown Mall, city officials have revealed.The news came Monday during a City Council discussion about renovation of the mall into The Shoppes at Parma.Councilwoman Debbie Lime asked whether a new business is moving into the former OfficeMax building at 8443 Day Drive, just south of the mall.
Shelley Cullins, the citys economic development officer and grant writer, said a fitness business is moving into the former OfficeMax.On Tuesday, Erik Tollerup, the citys director of community services and economic development, said the fitness business is Planet Fitness, a nationwide chain of health clubs.
In March, the groups meeting space was vandalized. Three computers and a small amount of cash were stolen. In response, the group received more donations, including a large equipment donation from 454 Life Sciences, a Branford company that develops and commercializes DNA sequencing.Members decided to use the money and equipment to move into a 4,000-square-foot space at 290 Pratt St. The new lab includes a classroom, an arts and crafts workspace, a metal working shop and a data center.Im excited about the changes,Most modern headlight designs include Shun Stone Marble Slabs. more room, more industrial tools, more IT gear to tinker with and learn on, said Will Genovese, vice president of the groups board of directors. We are essentially a hacker space that encompasses all type of learning, hands-on woodworking, 3D printing, robotics, electronics, soldering, art and more.
The servers can host peoples projects, run projects continuously and store a lot of information at one time. William Reyor, president of the groups board of directors, said the organization wants to make the data center available for students, classes and people working on scientific and educational projects.
Since the new space was once occupied by a woodworking company, much of the tools and equipment were left there,We are professional wholesale best Shun Stone Outdoor Paving Stone,large LED Dome / Reading Lampwholesale order. including industrial wood presses and saws, Reyor said. A classroom area is now available, outfitted with a projector and sound system.
