• Recommended Places to Go Online in Central Park: The following hot spots, courtesy of the Park Wifi, are excellent choices for working online while enjoying Nature, as noted in earlier posts:1. under the wisteria next to the Rumsey Playfield, near the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain.2. the Delacorte Theater, near the Shakespeare Garden and Belvedere Castle.3. the Harlem Meer, near the Dana Discovery Center.• Recommended Place for Casual Dining in Central Park: The Boathouse. Coming off a walk in the Ramble, I was glad to come upon the Boathouse and hang out at the outdoor bar for a glass of wine. The food choices are varied, and the place has that casual elegant vibe. Now high on my list for out-of-town guests.• Recommended Place to Stroll on One Day: from the Pond at the southeast c

View Larger MapI'm still marveling that it's possible to fish and blog at the same time at the Harlem Meer on the far northeast corner of Central Park. But that's not the only thing I observed on my fourth and final day of Central Park excursions this week. The northern part of the park features some of those walk-about vistas that transport the strolling spectator into the regions of the sublime landscape. There's method in the landscape architecture. This section of the park, at least when I visited yesterday, seemed far away from the visitor-heavy areas farther south and more a place for the surrounding neighbors. That makes sense, because I don't think many tourists come to New York to fish.As the map shows, I only walked through a limited area of the northern quadrant, and so I'm look

The vacuum cleaner is a truly amazing piece of equipment, as it would be very hard to cope without one.

Let's talk about ducks.Fellow NYC bloggers, forget the link bait, because at the Harlem Meer, a serene pool of water at the far northeast corner of Central Park, it's possible to fish and blog at the same time. The rule of fishing here is catch-and-release, and the free Wifi provided by the park seems to be working fine. I'm writing from the edge of the water, just outside the Dana Discovery Center, but I should point out, in the interest of accuracy, that I am not currently fishing. The point is that I could if I wanted.So, here on Day 4, around 4:45 p.m., I've now completed several walks throughout the park. This afternoon, I took the C train uptown to 103rd and then walked east through some of the prettiest parts of the park I've seen so far, areas known as the Pool, the Loch, and the N

View Larger MapAh, yes, the walk around the Reservoir. I would like to be a runner and run around the Reservoir. Sometimes I jog. Mostly I walk. What you see here before you is the aerial view of the Reservoir (a good French word) in Central Park, and I can assure you that it's flat as a pancake. Otherwise, the water would all tip out. I walked around the Reservoir yesterday, reluctantly as I noted, and so enjoyed going back to the Delacorte Theater though there weren't any plays in progress.A word or two for those who might enjoy running around the Reservoir - signs posted there indicate that jogging, walking, running should be conducted in counter-clockwise fashion. Fortunately, anyone finding the jog, walk, or run tedious like me can bail out at regular intervals and join the slower pa

This would be the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir between 86th and 96th in Central Park, and I just walked around it. Several people were out walking around this large body of water, but most were running for some reason. Many runners passing me were outfitted with heart monitors, expensive running shoes, and portable MP3 players, and I felt kind of out of it, as I was wearing a prom dress and carrying a MacBook. Just kidding about the prom dress.I like walking, but I find strolling around the reservoir 90% tedious. Several times I ventured down to the nearby bridle path and walked sections along in there. It's more leafy. Over on the east side of the park, I thought about ditching the whole effort and going to one of the museums that line the park on the east, maybe the Cooper-Hewitt

Leaving the Boathouse yesterday, I snapped this photo of the boaters on the water, and later, as I was looking at it, the image reminded me of a 19th century landscape painting. That's by design. Olmsted and Vaux, in designing Central Park, created vistas that would resemble paintings, like the ones by their friends in the Hudson River School. They designed Central Park with the notion that city dwellers would encounter the sublime as they walked around different areas of the park.Photographers in the 19th century often borrowed compositions from landscape painters, framing their shots in similar ways. In looking at the image above, I think I must carry around with me similar preconceptions of the sublime landscape and how it should be conventionally composed. In addition, my camera is an

View Larger MapToday, as part of this week's focus on Central Park, I will shift my attention northward to The Reservoir and to the larger area between 81st and 96th Streets. I plan to again file posts from the Wifi locations in the park, mostly likely from the Shakespeare Garden, the nearest spot at the south end of the area. The garden is pretty enough. The only drawback I've found in taking a laptop to work in the park is the occasional stream of falling cherry blossoms.The walk yesterday was ideal - from the garden to the Ramble and then the Loeb Boathouse, a modest stroll of perhaps 1.5 to 2 miles inside the park. In getting to the park, walking to the B or C subways that run up and down the west side of the park, climbing the steps inside subway stations, I'm averaging about 4 miles

I used to be a sun worshipper in my youth, but as I have gotten older I have recognized the importance of staying out of the sun to protect my skin (Thank goodness for self-tanners!). Now that summer is rapidly approaching, it is time to start thinking about your skin even more. RN Central is a cool site that I came across that features really interesting and well-written articles relating to health and health care. I particularly liked the article 50 Tips for Healthier Skin which gives fantastic and very useful advice on sun protection, skin care, and diet that will help you get your best skin. Most of the sun protection tips I knew of (but it is wise to update your memory!), but the diet tips were especially helpful because I didn't know, for example, that avocados are a great natural mo

The Hermannsburg mission was established in 1877 by German Lutheran missionaries about 125 km west of Alice Springs in the majestic Western MacDonnell Ranges in Central Australia. The missionaries settled at permanent waterhole known to the local Western Arrernte people as Koprilya, and named the settlement Hermannsburg after their town of origin in northern Germany. They had trekked for 18 months overland from the Barossa Valley region of South Australia, bringing with them a sizeable herd of cattle and sheep.The Lutherans built a church and commenced preaching Christianity to the Western Arrernte people. Within two years a school was built and by 1881 seven boys and one girl had been baptised. By 1891 the missionaries had created a dictionary of the Western Arrernte language, and eventua

When I emerged from the stroll in the Ramble, just described in the previous post, I emerged at the Loeb Boathouse where I saw many happy campers taking a needed break on this fine spring afternoon in Central Park. Why, on earth, should I walk to the Met today for a cup of tea when a glass of pinot grigio right here would do just fine?So, in addition to my previous recommendations to bring along bottled water and a map of Central Park, tuck away $10 for these kind of post-wandering-in-the-woods emergencies.After soaking in the Boathouse and watching the boaters out in the water, I realized I was just east of the Bethesda Terrace, and that, of course, the Terrace was near the wisteria-covered arbor, the Wifi place where I filed the posts from yesterday. That's where I am now. How convenient

After leaving my temporary office in the Shakespeare Garden, I walked up to Belvedere Castle, a "folly" in the world of Victorian gardening, and then through the natural ecosystem known as The Ramble. Without any predetermined path, and that's the only way to walk here, I wandered through this intentionally natural part of the park. Still, several people were squirreled away in The Ramble, mainly birders with binoculars around their necks, and I came across several solitary souls sitting on benches. Many were dressed in pastel sports shirts, so they seemed like Easter eggs.Because the Ramble works in mysterious ways, I wandered over the Azalea Bridge, near the area you see here, and then made my way east. I emerged at the southeast corner of the Ramble at the Loeb Boathouse. Once there, I

If you're in New York right now and you need to do some work online and you can leave the office, check out this place. I'm in the Shakespeare Garden, just up the steps from the location of this picture. Belvedere Castle is to my right and up another small flight of stairs. The Delacorte Theatre, home to the New York Public Theater Shakespeare in the Park, is just to my north, and is the source of this Wifi signal. I'm sitting on a bench made out of tree limbs.I took the C subway to 81st, at the stop for the American Museum of Natural History, walked east along a pathway next to the Diana Ross Playground, and then over to the Delacorte. Do you need to go back now and re-read the Diana Ross Playground part? I would.Today's plan is to hang out here, catch up on emails, make notes about film

View Larger MapI plan to return to Central Park today but shift my attention northward to the areas around 86th Street. I mapped out the walks from yesterday - the walk near 72nd St. to the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain and then the walk to the zoo and to the Pond, as featured here. Noted, too, is the excellent Wifi spot under the arbor, as well as additional Wifi spots in Sheep Meadow and the area near Columbus Circle at the Maine Monument. I tried to get online at Sheep Meadow but failed. I could have tried for a spot in the middle of the meadow and had more success.Sheep Meadow would be fun if there were actual sheep grazing. The photo I took doesn't do justice to the wide angle scene and expanse of so many people sleeping and sunbathing in Central Park.For those longing to spend a few

The Indonesian central bank on Tuesday raised its key policy rate by 25 basis points to 8.25 percent to rein in soaring inflation.It was Bank Indonesia's first interest rate hike in more than two years, as the country deals with rising inflationary pressure amid soaring prices of global commodities like crude oil. The central bank last hiked the benchmark BI rate in December 2005 to its peak of 12.75 percent.The decision took into account the prospect of inflationary pressures in coming months and the volatility of global commodity prices, BI senior deputy governor Miranda Goeltom told a briefing."We will continue to monitor the situation going forward to see if inflationary pressures will persist and we will accordingly make adjustments to the BI rate," Goeltom said.Indonesia News Blog:

I'm continuing to enjoy sitting and walking in Central Park, and I'm back under the wisteria now, a Wi-fi hotspot, near the Rumsey Playfield. Since the last post, I started getting hungry, so I wandered over to the Leaping Frog Cafe at the entrance of the zoo to get a little lunch. I needed to find a salad and some fruit. The food offerings in the park are generally limited to two categories - hot dogs and ice cream. If you like hot dogs and ice cream sandwiches, you would love Central Park.On my way to the zoo, I strolled down the wide Mall toward the Literary Walk (statues of an affected-looking Robert Burns, a serious Walter Scott, and a commanding Shakespeare) and then down to the Pond in the southeast corner of the park (as in photo above). More and more people are showing up as we sp

It's 10:43 a.m. and I'm writing from my temporary office location in Central Park. I'm sitting under a wisteria-covered arbor next to the Rumsey Playfield just south of 72nd Street and the Bethesda Fountain and Terrace (above). I picked the location because it's a designated park Wi-fi location (link to NYC park wi-fi locations) Getting online was easier than thinking.Just an hour ago I was home, and now I feel like I'm completely elsewhere. I hear the sounds of chirping birds, the music on a radio that the park crews are listening to me behind me, and the occasional helicopter.

After two weeks in darkened movie theaters, I'm anxious to spend time out of doors. So, for the coming week, I'm transferring the WOTBA operation to Central Park. I'll look for good places to "work," testing out the WiFi access, snapping images of the park in spring, walking the Mall, the reservoir, Belvedere Castle, and the Bethesda Fountain, and so forth, and discovering new places. The weather looks good this week, and I figure there's plenty to do.My plan is to take the subway to the edges of the park each day and then start walking and exploring. I want to try some new things, such as recording ambient sounds, making a few moving images, sketching again, revisiting sights I photographed in winter, and befriending zoo animals.With over 240 movies featuring the park, the park is either

The continental portion of Middle America includes Mexico and Central America, which consists of seven small countries between Mexico and Colombia. Latin Americans, however, usually distinguish between Central America and Panama. The attitude has a historical basis. Panama was detached from Colombia in 1903 and continues to be regarded by many Latins politically and culturally as part of South American. Belize, independent from Britain only since September 1981, is culturally different from its neighbors. In addition, many Latin Americans regard Belize as having been unfairly seized from Guatemala by the British. Regardless of the Latin American custom, the term Central America as used in this book refers to all countries that lie between Mexico and Colombia. A useful geographical subdivis

I always thought rice was grown in far off, foreign places overseas somewhere. Central America is home to vast rice producing areas.I know very little about rice, except it tastes pretty good with a lot of butter on it. It's used in almost every country in the world as a food staple. I'm sure everyone has a favorite rice recipe that comes to mind when you see the word.Rice is pretty versatile. There are several different varieties, as well as lots of interesting things made from it. Everything from oil and wine, to ethanol. The hard outer shell of rice is called bran.I even found a variety of rice called "Forbidden Rice" that is dark purple when cooked. And "Nakazuke" are vegetables fermented in rice bran.I have just as much fun researching all this information as I do taking the ph
