Defining the border between privacy and security is a particularly precarious balancing act, especially when you are situated in the close quarters of urban living. In our previous article concerning hedges we named a few species which could provide adequate...
At Third Thursday: Bike Night, we pedaled to the party right through the museum's doors, launched something special with Handsome Cycles in honor of #BDayMIA, enjoyed bike safty checks and spin-a-paint bike art making with The Hub Co-op, and rode to the museum with group rides from Omnium Bike Shop and Midtwon Greenway Association.
We kicked back to live music from Rank Strangers, played #BikeNightMIA Bingo, got silly and posed in the NiceRideMN photobooth, checked out the latest and greatest from One-on-One and Twin Six, tuned in to Pedal Hub cycling podcast, and connected with the local bike community including 30 Days of Biking, Mpls Bike coalition, Open Streets MPLS, Midtown Greenway Coalition, and Powderhorn 24.
We admired hand-made bikes from custom frame builders Bob Brown, Black Ship, Peacock Groove, Prairie Crow, Vincent Dominguez Cycles & Wyganowski, shared our cycling stories with the cycling Museum of Minnesota, enjoyed Popsicles and portraits from Nordstrom, indulged in savory grub from Wheelhouse and sweet treats from Geno's Gelato.
My little muffin :D.
I feel like this photo of Gus would be his author's photo, like the one found in the backs of books if he ever decided to write one.
The third and the oldest surviving Triumphal Arch in Moscow was built in 1829–34 on Tverskaya Gate Square to Joseph Bové's designs in order to commemorate Russia's victory over Napoleon. It replaced an earlier wooden structure built by the veterans of the Napoleonic Wars in 1814.
The arch was built in brick and lined with ashlar. The columns and statues were of cast iron. A seiuga (six-horse chariot) was designed by Giovanni Vitali.
The arch was dismantled in 1936 as part of Joseph Stalin's reconstruction of downtown Moscow. Vitali's sculptures were then put on exhibit at an architectural museum on the grounds of the former Donskoy Monastery. After the Second World War there were plans to rebuild the structure in front of the Belarussian Railway Station.
The current arch was built to Bove's original designs in 1966–68 in the middle of Kutuzovsky Avenue, close to the Victory Park. An open space surrounding the arch is known as the Victory Square.

Second and third-grade students from Riverside Elementary School in Dublin, Ohio, participated in a unique multi-part study of plants at COSI on Friday, November 1, 2013. Their visit included a guided exploration of COSI's outdoor prairie with Robin Dungan, COSI Manager of Education Services, where the students examined Ohio's native flora. One plant they examined in particular is the Virginia Mountain Mint, which has a perfectly square stem. The students also participated in a flower dissection in COSI's Lily Pad lab space, led by COSI Outreach Educators Tyler Fox and Nick Steinbrecher, where they examined the tiny components that make up a flower. This special hands-on program was funded by a writing grant from The Ohio State University. COSI is Columbus, Ohio's dynamic Center of Science and Industry.

Chicago, officially the City of Chicago, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and the third-most-populous city in the United States. With an estimated population of 2,705,994 (2018), it is also the most populous city in the Midwestern United States. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second-most-populous county in the US, with a small portion of the northwest side of the city extending into DuPage County near O'Hare Airport. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland. At nearly 10 million people, the metropolitan area is the third most populous in the United States.
Located on the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-19th century. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed several square miles and left more than 100,000 homeless, the city made a concerted effort to rebuild. The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900, less than 30 years after the great fire, Chicago was the fifth-largest city in the world. Chicago made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards, including new construction styles (including the Chicago School of architecture), the development of the City Beautiful Movement, and the steel-framed skyscraper.
Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It is the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts, issued by the Chicago Board of Trade, which today is the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures alone. Depending on the particular year, the city's O'Hare International Airport is routinely ranked as the world's fifth or sixth busiest airport according to tracked data by the Airports Council International. The region also has the largest number of federal highways and is the nation's railroad hub. Chicago was listed as an alpha global city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and it ranked seventh in the entire world in the 2017 Global Cities Index. The Chicago area has one of the highest gross domestic products (GDP) in the world, generating $689 billion in 2018. In addition, the city has one of the world's most diversified and balanced economies, with no single industry employing more than 14% of the workforce. Chicago is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Allstate, Boeing, Caterpillar, Exelon, Kraft Heinz, McDonald's, Mondelez International, Sears, United Airlines Holdings, and Walgreens.
Chicago's 58 million domestic and international visitors in 2018 made it the second most visited city in the nation, as compared with New York City's 65 million visitors in 2018. The city was ranked first in the 2018 Time Out City Life Index, a global quality of life survey of 15,000 people in 32 cities. Landmarks in the city include Millennium Park, Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum Campus, the Willis (Sears) Tower, Grant Park, the Museum of Science and Industry, and Lincoln Park Zoo. Chicago's culture includes the visual arts, literature, film, theatre, comedy (especially improvisational comedy), food, and music, particularly jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, gospel, and electronic dance music including house music. Of the area's many colleges and universities, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago are classified as "highest research" doctoral universities. Chicago has professional sports teams in each of the major professional leagues, including two Major League Baseball teams.

The Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) is a science museum located in Chicago, Illinois, in Jackson Park, in the Hyde Park neighborhood between Lake Michigan and The University of Chicago. It is housed in the former Palace of Fine Arts from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Initially endowed by Julius Rosenwald, the Sears, Roebuck and Company president and philanthropist, it was supported by the Commercial Club of Chicago and opened in 1933 during the Century of Progress Exposition.
Among the museum's exhibits are a full-size replica coal mine, German submarine U-505 captured during World War II, a 3,500-square-foot (330 m2) model railroad, the command module of Apollo 8, and the first diesel-powered streamlined stainless-steel passenger train (Pioneer Zephyr).
David R. Mosena has been president and CEO of the private, non-profit museum since 1998.
Third Beach, Olympic National Park, just south of La Push. View to the south, toward Taylor Point and "Graveyard of the Giants". This little stream was our play space and offered an active lesson in how stream meanders form. Over its several curves, the outside edges were rapidly cutting deeper into the sand, making the sand collapse over and over as the stream bit into the curves. Meanwhile the inside edges had slower moving water and rapidly growing sandbars.
The third and last race of the day is under way on the Hudson River. Five of the six competitors are barreling to the second mark, while the winner is not even in sight. The rudder of the catamaran AC45F of Emirates Team New Zealand was caught at the start in the anchor line of the starting mark. All other five competitors pulled off with wind and strong currents while a crew member jumped overboard to free the boat. The buoy also punctured the port side hull of the cat - nevertheless Emirates Team New Zealand won the race. The Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series races were held in May 2016 in New York City, after a break of 96 years. The boats are AC45F catamarans with hydrofoiling daggerboards, rigid wings, and five man crew. The teams are: Oracle Team USA [OUSA], James Spithill (Australia), Land Rover BAR [LBAR], Ben Ainslie (United Kingdom), Emirates Team New Zealand [ETNZ], Peter Burling (New Zealand), Softbank Team Japan [TJPN], Dean Barker (New Zealand), Groupama Team France [TFRA], Franck Cammas (France), Artemis Racing [ARTR], Nathan Outteridge (Australia).
Venardos Circus 20191012 Asheville NC Asheville Outlet Mall
My wife and I made plans for one year to make sure we could take a vacation planned around The Venardos Circus in Asheville, NC. We planned to stay for ten days! The first day of prep two days before take-off, our slide out on our RV broke. This was our third of three slide outs to break in some manor to hinder our plans. Fortunately, I found the Mobile RV Doctor Gary Castor. $611.00 later and an entire day of wrenching we were ready and determined to catch the sold-out show. We thought we might catch a hotel. But booking a Hotel in Asheville during leaf blowing season is a $300.00 per night adventure for a room. I was thinking the entire time having flashbacks of 30 years on the road as an entertainer, thinking, imagine my problem times 20 other entertainers! These entertainers had deadlines to meet and have to make the show come hell or broken slide outs! On our way, we blocked traffic for a while as Asheville makes these skinny turns to the interstate too small for trucks or large RV’s. I narrowly missed a median sign and but for the kindness of a stranger might still be there trying to avoid scratches on my fifth wheel.
In my thirty years on the road as a professional Frisbee Flying Disc player I ran into the best and worst acts on the road in many different venues. I learned first-hand how hard it is to market and sell an act. I had learned the hard way from town to town and had an understanding at the marvel I was about to witness.
I pulled into the Venardos Circus on the last leg of their US tour in the middle of their two-week showing in Asheville. I was awed by the neatness, cleanliness and visual appeal of the set up. They kept their lot squeaky clean. I was amazed by the signage, the generators, the vendor trucks and the way the entertainers all had many different hats to wear.
Every single entertainer was seasoned often many generations of life-long Circus and stage performers. This was a rare treat for any town. Every single entertainer came from larger shows that swap talent. They swab the decks and wash the floors. The owner of the Circus takes the garbage out at the end of each show. Behind the glitz and glamour of being famous in their own specialty arts, they each swabbed the stage, set up the tents, sold the concessions, worked the ticket booths and worked this show 24/7! You could tell it. Each act could carry an audience on their own for hours at a time. However, Venardos produced a show that was nothing short of a Broadway or Vegas show with incredible timing and professionalism! There is no wonder that he is booked for FORTY-FIVE MORE dates all over the United States for the 2020 season. They had to easily work 16 hour days full blast all day!
His hospitality was amazing. He extended an invitation for me to live with his team for the rest of his duration in Asheville. I had to think of the love I have for my wife and had to leave because of her schedule. I did not want to leave!
I understand Kevin is looking for a good sound and light person! His last stop is at my favorite town in St Augustine, Florida to kick off his 45 town 2020 season! He will be performing on the same stage as many of the most popular musicians of all times have performed at The St Augustine Amphitheatre! When I lived in St Augustine, I could barely feed myself and my favorite ex-girlfriend! Kevin has twenty teams to feed and their families!
Circus families are the greatest entertainers and athletes of our time. You have to see it to believe it!
Venardos’ fans, Facebook cuts a 30mb photo to 80kb or less. Please use the flickR photos for download for reproduction.
I will create a ten-minute video or two and include a download link for desktop or phone for as long as Vimeo doesn’t violate me for the music. It was an awesome show! Stay Circus Strong!

Looking for monochrome possibilities, I saw this man in, what is, for this day and age, quite unusual attire.
I only got one crack at him; when I was moving to get a better angle, everything happened at once: a gust of wind nearly got his hat, the bus arrived, and he disappeared behind the bin to get on the bus.
I gave it over the top treatment, in the hope to evoke memories of the Third Man, or even older spy thrillers.

More CANDIDS will follow as and when.
