Central Park in Autumn
New York's Central Park features 843 acres filled with classic architecture, gorgeous statuary, playground, world famous Zoo and the Children's Zoo, and scenic spots on the Lake surrounded by the natural splendor of the landscape. There is also picturesque Belvedere Castle on Cedar Hill. Turtle Pond, so designated in 1987 in honor of its most prominent residents, began life as Belvedere Lake. At the beginning, Belvedere Lake was a shallow pool that soon became the home to an itinerant collection of fish, frogs, turtles, dragonflies, and aquatic fowl. While not part of the original park plan it quickly became clear that the pond was in an ideal location at the base of Vista Rock, perfectly complimenting the view of Belvedere Castle. Turtle Island was added to the pond. This refuge provides another spot for migrating birds to visit as well as the regular denizens to build their nests. There are sandy spots for the turtles to lay their eggs and while the Island gives the inhabitants a certain amount of privacy there are great spots either along the shoreline, or from the Castle above, to view all the animals during the different seasons. Designated as a quiet zone (loud music and noisy activities are prohibited), this pastoral lawn is a great place to read, ruminate or simply enjoy the surrounding beauty. Thursday Nov 9, Paulo and I took Mara to Central Park to look for the playground and visit Belvedere Castle (she thinks all the churches we went to were castles). This time, we wanted to show her what a real castle looks like. We took a long walk from 57th to 59th along Fifth Avenue, stopped by at the south park to take photos infront of the fountain and the monument dedicated to William Tecumseh Sherman. Inside Central Park we past the dairy house, and stumbled along 72nd street, the playground. A longer stroll along Fifth Avenue, we reached 79th street, where the road sign indicated the way to the castle via turtle pond. Back to Fifth Avenue towards the Metropolitan Museum at 85th Street. On the way back, we took the museum mile, passing by Ritz Carlton Hotel, and the two monuments of Venezuela and Buenos Aires at the south entrance to Central Park.

Protecting Lake Superior July 15: Classical benefit concert
Lake Superior Day benefit concert in northern Michigan debuts Boreal Chamber Symphony; organizers hope similar concerts will be formed in U.S., Canadian cities that surround Lake Superior Protecting Lake Superior: Free Michigan concert with classical musicians, dancer will benefit Lake Superior Defense Fund on July 15 (Marquette, Michigan) - The Boreal Chamber Symphony will make its debut on Lake Superior Day in northern Michigan in a dramatic benefit concert to protect America's largest freshwater lake, organizers announced today (Monday June 25, 2007) during a lakeshore press conference. Haunting French horn calls, the soothing sounds of water, a thundering storm, and flowing interpretive dance using rocks, sand, and other items found along the Lake Superior shoreline are all part of the "Concert for Lake Superior: People, Place, Purpose." During the press conference, two percussionists demonstrated their skills using Lake Superior water and rocks to make chilling and rhythmic music that mixed with the sound of small waves rolling ashore. An interpretive dancer gracefully performed on the edge of Lake Superior with the wind rushing through her flowing costume and seed pods on her ankles adding to the soothing natural music. With a view of Lake Superior, the Marquette, Michigan concert will have a water and environment theme. The audience will be surrounded by Lake Superior-related artwork The event is sponsored by the Superior Watershed Partnership and Cedar Tree Institute, Marquette-based non-profits that founded the Earth Keeper Initiative in 2004. The Marquette Community Foundation awarded a $1,500 grant for the concert. "We wanted to help the numerous groups who are protecting Lake Superior and keeping it as beautiful as it is," Martha Conley, Marquette Community Foundation board member and chair of the foundation's grants committee. "We are a true believer in the community and Lake Superior." Organizers hope the event will inspire future Lake Superior Day concerts in other cities encircling the lake like the Baltic Sea Festival. Musicians and environment groups in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Canada are being encouraged to create similar benefits around Lake Superior creating a ring of protection. Organizers are offering a "limited number of travel stipends" to qualified Canadian group that want to attend the Michigan concert to get ideas and inspiration. A group in Thunder Bay, Ontario has expressed interest in creating their own annual concert. The concert is free, but donations are encouraged with all proceeds used for environment projects involving the immense Lake Superior watershed. "By offering this free concert we also hope that people will contribute to the Lake Superior Fund so we can continue and expand our successful Great Lakes protection programs," said Carl Lindquist, executive director of the Superior Watershed Partnership. All donations are tax deductible and go to the Lake Superior Defense Fund. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. on July 15, 2007 at UpFront & Company, a Marquette restaurant with a large banquet room that overlooks the city's lower harbor on Lake Superior. The event is preceded by a 6 p.m. social hour. "The concert is also a way to show that we all have an important role in protecting Lake Superior," Lindquist said. In 2004, the Lake Superior Binational Forum designated the third Sunday in July as Lake Superior Day in the US and Canada. The binational forum is comprised of U.S. and Canadian volunteers including representatives from industry, civic organizations, environment groups and faith communities, and works with governments in both countries to protect Lake Superior. The Lake Superior watershed "is pretty much half of the watershed for the entire Upper Peninsula" and one of three watersheds in northern Michigan, said Natasha Koss, development coordinator for the Superior Watershed Partnership. Koss said the watershed partnership cares about "the big picture, what we can do as an organization and people can do as citizens to protect our beautiful lake." "We all live in it (the Lake Superior watershed), we all drink from its waters, we all swim in its water, we paddle along the shore, we fish in its rivers that drain into Lake Superior," Koss said "So it's all connected and everything we do on the land effects the water of Lake Superior." Master of ceremonies for the concert is Marquette television personality and meteorologist Karl Bohnak (WLUC-TV). The orchestra is comprised of 19 professional musicians from around the country with ties to the Lake Superior region, and one is from Washington D.C. "This concert will be a chance to lift up a vision of a good place and a clean lake - a symbol to the world of water and life," said Rev. Jon Magnuson, executive director of the Cedar Tree Institute and co-founder of the Earth Keeper Initiative. "This evening will be about a beacon of hope - a shout of thanksgiving and invitation to continue a struggle to protect and defend one of the world's greatest natural resources," Rev. Magnuson said. Lake Superior is the deepest (1,333 feet) and coldest of the Great Lakes, its shoreline stretches 2,726 miles (including islands) and is fed by over 200 rivers. The orchestra was named Boreal because the word means "pertaining to, or located in, northern regions" as in "aurora borealis" - and Boreas is the Greek god of the north wind. The concept was inspired by the Baltic Sea Festival which partners classical musicians with environmental causes. Conductor Craig Randal Johnson of Minneapolis, Minnesota and members of the orchestra want to bring awareness to ecological issues. Johnson remembers the exact minute the Lake Superior concert idea was born: at 1:27 p.m. on September 14, 2006. "It was one of those moments when you realize things are suddenly different, said Johnson, who has onducted concerts in Italy, was staff conductor with the Florida Symphony and worked in three German opera houses. Johnson described that instant as a "seed change" and a real "switch over in my thinking." At a Marquette café, Johnson and a friend were discussing "cultural offerings and the state of music in the U.P." and the annual Baltic Sea Festival. 'We wanted to see how the Baltic Sea project could translate to a similar initiative in the Great Lakes," said Johnson. "We very quickly narrowed it down to Lake Superior." Nature and the environment is an "underlining motivating factor for all the music I do," Johnson said. Johnson hopes the concert will "educate the public about the environment and environmental issues and sensibilities." "The convergence of the environment and concerns of the environment are so paramount to us as human beings," said Johnson, who has a long list of orchestras he has conducted, including music director of the 2005 Finn Grand Fest symphony concert in Marquette, the upcoming July 27 Finnfest concert in Ashtabula, Ohio, the Marquette Symphony, and as an instrumental performer at Finnfest 1996. "We want to harness the power of music and art to wake people up," he said. "This concert is important" "I hope that whatever they (the audience) have experienced from the music in an emotional or metaphysical sense also is converging with a feeling of a need to do something to support the health of Lake Superior and the surrounding ecosystem," Johnson said. Johnson hopes concert goers will "donate because you've experienced this powerful music and a unique and potentially spiritual event." "In 2006 Earth Keepers received the highest Great Lakes protection award from the U.S. EPA and Canada," Lindquist said. "The concert for Lake Superior is our way of saying thank you to the thousands of citizens who help us protect this truly great lake." The classical concert will reach many extremes including traditional works from Mozart and Handel, a "religious spiritual" piece, and interpretive dance to the music of Finnish composer Kari Tikka and Estonian composer Arvo Part. Iron County native Evan Premo has been commissioned to create a new work for the concert. Premo's composition "Fall Storm on Lake Superior" was inspired by a chapter in Lon Emerick's book "The Superior Peninsula - Seasons in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan." The chapter is called "Fall Storms on Lake Superior." "I try to evoke the power of the lake in my music like Lon did in this chapter," said Premo, who began writing the composition in April. "The chapter starts with Lon waking up in his home in Skandia on a fall day and hearing the low rumble of the lake. He then drives to Presque Isle where he takes awe at the mighty waves crashing over the breakwater." Emerick's book remembers shipwrecks during fall storms like the Edmund Fitzgerald. Percussionists Carrie Biolo and James A. Strain and dancer Maria Formolo are premiering a performance named "Elements" that uses "rock, sand and driftwood" from Lake Superior. "I'm sure all of us have gone to the lake shore and experienced an amazing storm over Lake Superior where thunder is crashing and lightning is seen across the sky line," said Biolo. The performers will recreate a Lake Superior storm by using "a thunder sheet," and the wind will be created by a "spinning corrugate tube and bull roar" and a "plethora of traditional percussion instruments." "A bowed Chinese cymbal hauntingly reminds me of the men who gave their life to Lake Superior," Biolo said. Formolo will "dance in an stunning costume draped in drift wood simultaneously producing an aural and visual sensation," Biolo said. "Lake Superior rocks will be rhythmically hit together, sand will be poured and water will be played," Biolo said. "Lake Superior rocks will be rhythmically hit together, sand will be poured and water will be played," Biolo said. "A melody of sorts will be produced on crystal goblets filled with various water levels and a large tub filled with water will be 'blooped' and splashed in a rhythmic ostinato." Biolo will perform Frederick Rzewski's To The Earth (1985). She will recite a Homeric hymn "praising Mother Earth" and at the same time will be "tapping four pitched clay flower pots with knitting needles." "Very apropos to Lake Superior -- who nourishes everything around us," Biolo said. " If we take care of the earth, she will give us a happy abundant life." The concert will include Marjory Black and Gary Reeves on French horns. The moving French horns will answer each other with calls resembling foghorns and wildlife. The event includes an art exhibit by regional nature artists and Great Lakes authors. Displays will offer educational materials and opportunities for people to participate in regional environment stewardship initiatives. The program includes: Evan Premo, Fall Storm On Lake Superior - a world premiere commission for this Concert; Frederic Rzewski, To the Earth; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Symphony No. 29 in A, K. 201; Verne Reynolds, Calls for two French Horns; Carrie Biolo, James A. Strain and Maria Formolo, "Elements"; composer/pianist Carl Lindquist, Lake Superior Suite; Kari Tikka, 'Exsultate'!; Arvo Pärt, 'Fratres'; Georg Fredrich Händel, selections from Water Music. The Superior Watershed Partnership and the Cedar Tree Institute organize annual Earth Keeper Clean Sweeps that broke EPA household hazardous waste collection records. The annual Earth Day collection across northern Michigan has recycled or properly disposed about 470 tons of household hazardous waste including pharmaceuticals, old/broken computers and cell phones, poisons, lead-based paint, mercury, and vehicle batteries. The Superior Watershed Partnership and the Cedar Tree Institute have collaborated on numerous environmental projects over the last decade including but not limited to stream restoration, controlling invasive species, restoring native plant species, storm water management, dune restoration, Great Lakes monitoring, wild rice restoration, erosion control and energy conservation. Partners in those projects include Marquette County Juvenile Court, the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, 140 churches/temples. The bishops/leaders of nine faith traditions (Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, United Methodist Church, Unitarian Universalist, Baha'i, Jewish, and Zen Buddhist) signed the Earth Keeper Covenant in 2004 pledging to actively protect the environment and reach out to American Indian tribes.

Continue reading to learn how I made the Golden Tree and Money Tree orchard. If there's some other part feature to my town you think it hacked, NO. This is a 100% legit town. Now onto the actual description: Here is a tour of my AC:GC house and town, San*Juan. I spend most of my AC time in this town, so there are a lot of cool features such as Golden Tree and Money Tree orchards. B-) Quality is bad for some reason. :( My dad and mom both have their own house in San*Juan. My mom's is right below mine, and my dad's is to the right of mine. The silver statue is my dad's and he currently has 2.5 million Bells stored in his bank all from fishing. :O In San*Juan, I have never cheated by using UC's, AR, or time travelling. However, I did transfer a Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda, and Ice Climbers from another town I used AR in because I really wanted those games. Here is how I made the Golden Tree and Money Tree orchards: I first dropped items on every possible spot of land a Shiny Spot could appear in my town. I then removed 4-5 items where I wanted the Shiny Spot to appear. (Weeds would appear at the Lake and Wishing Well and Fossils would appear on the Beach) Every day for two and half months, I logged into all four characters and planted a sapling for either a Money Tree or a Golden Tree. It took a lot of planning to determine where to plant everything. I spent about 30 minutes every day for 80 days planting these trees. It was a lot of work. After my orchards were complete, and all my Money Trees bore money, (all contain 30,000 Bell Bags by the way) I slowly removed every item on the ground and sold them to Nook (most of the items were fruit and stationery). You can see my town during this construction in my Summer Campers video here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YwM_WOq3KXM Also, I bought flower bags every day from Nook so I could plant them all when I finished my orchard which is why you see hundreds of them on the ground in front of my house.
