A retro 50s look at a style of cruising and travel now vanished. Views of the ship leaving the Port of Seattle, with streamers, confetti and visitors waving goodbye -- something rarely seen today. See the ship sail up the inside passage... with passengers dancing, dining, playing shuffleboard and man nostalgic scenes of an Alaska steamship far different from the massive ships sailing the Inland Passage today. The Alaska Steamship Company operated passenger service from Seattle to all ports in Alaska from 1895 until 1954. During the summer weekly sailings visited the Inside Passage. The line challenged all kinds of winter conditions and operated year round offering regular sailings as far north as Nome. These are family films and footage taken during the 1920s through the 1950s.

These local streets guide us through an area that was once home to many XXX Porn, crime, and vacant buildings. Since the renovations in 1993 to present, Dayton's most popular district is hereby crown one of the most safest areas (minus the occassional bar fights). </p> <p>Still like in all tours of poor Dayton, I stand by my words and declare that if change doesn't come to this community, this area will become a ghost town and believe me, I will not become a part of it.</p> <p>Thanks for viewing and post your comments at the bottom.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/36300-a-tour-of-poor-dayton-the-oregon-district-pt-1">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/36301-a-tour-of-poor-dayton-mcpherson-town 2008-10-22T15:31:29Z Brian Beach <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5qP42HgF3l0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5qP42HgF3l0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/36301-a-tour-of-poor-dayton-mcpherson-town"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/40720" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Around Dayton, we have historical districts such as McPherson Town located only a few minutes from Downtown Dayton. </p> <p>This is possibly one of the most valued neighborhoods in the Dayton area. </p> <p>I will take you through this community.</p> <p>Send me some feedback.

He mainly derives his intuitions from a 2-decade long and intense practice of derivatives trading ("nondull" activities with plenty of randomness).</p> <p>Taleb is currently a researcher at London Business School. He the Dean’s Professor in the Sciences of Uncertainty University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Fellow in Mathematics in Finance, Adjunct Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University (since 1999), and research fellow, Wharton School Financial Institutions Center, and Chairman, Empirica LLC.</p> <p>Taleb held senior trading positions with trading houses in New York and London and operated as a floor trader before founding Empirica LLC. His degrees include an MBA from the Wharton School and a Ph.D. from the University of Paris. He is the author of Dynamic Hedging, Fooled by Randomness, and The Black Swan.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/33731-nassim-nicholas-taleb-what-is-a-black-swan">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/26895-democracynow-headlines-25jan-07 2008-10-18T03:30:44Z Colbydog <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rsDk1ow5yOg&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rsDk1ow5yOg&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/26895-democracynow-headlines-25jan-07"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/28917" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The headlines from the first few minutes of a daily news program broadcast on 500+ local stations and dish, Link Cable networks.

Edited a lot of great material to keep it short which was hard to do. Much of it is centered on global warming and sticking around for Sensenbrenner's ultimate recommendation is a must.</p> <p>The only bummer is that the last suggestion really makes the rest of the speech superfluous.
