Director Series Review: Martin Scorsese

Today I’m doing to take some time out to talk about one of the greatest directors in history, Martin Scorsese.  This man is not only known for creating some exceptional and award-winning films, but he’s also known for doing so consistently.  No George Lucas decline for the Scorsese - his original vision, while it may not pan out as perfect each and every time, is still with him, enabling him to continue producing top-quality films even 40 years after he began.  I’m going to go over a few of his films (mostly my favorites, of course) and talk about why Scorsese is nothing less than a divine being sent from the sky to grace us with his genius.

Just northwest of New York City, about a half-an-hour away, is the Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery.  For lovers of wine and brandy, this is the place to be.  Take the trip up and enjoy some of their great wine in their tasting room or while wandering the grounds.  You can also check out their selection of award-winning brandies or the gin they make.  Live music events happen every weekend and occasionally throughout the year music festivals are held.  So grab your loved one, relax in the orchard, sip some wine and listen to some music

Fort Tilden Beach, Breezy Point

For a great beach experience, couples may wish to consider going a little ways down the shoreline from New York City to a place called FortTildenBeach.  Once a key point in defending the harbor from attack, it has since transformed into a center for arts.  Some of the old military buildings have been turned into art galleries and another into a theater that puts on live productions.  There’s also an old historic gun site that offers some

Rebuilding or reloading?

This is gonna be me musing about the state of the Ms and our frustration with the wait to build a contender in general.  Be warned and hang on.
 
As we wander into our annual September irrelevance, the gnashing of teeth around the blog-o-sphere is increasing.  Baker sums it up well with his article today:
 
And sometimes, you’ll get it wrong. Sometimes, the Josh Hamilton signing might not work out.

Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition: Changes for season 2

Lifetime is still playing it close to the vest with information about the new season of Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition which airs tomorrow night. However, we have learned that in addition to having more boys than ever before (2) and an older cast (none younger than 10), this season will feature the "Call-back Card," which can be used to prevent a dancer from being eliminated.

The Bowery Hotel is a nice accommodation that is large enough to provide the services you need but still simple enough to avoid over-indulgence.  With a convenient location and a variety of luxury amenities, it’s a good place to use as home base during a romantic outing.  It has an artsy interior, both furniture and decorations, and many of the rooms have amazing views of the city’s skyline.  While staying at the Bowery Hotel, couples can enjoy their fitness center, the on-site bar and lounge and the restaurant, or relax with one of their massage
