Index No. 605622-21

Decided: November 10, 2021

WELBY, BRADY & GREENBLATT, LLP, Attorneys for Plaintiff, 11 Martine Avenue, 15th Floor, White Plains, New York 10606 GLENN AGRE BERGMAN & FUENTES LLP, Attorneys for all named Defendants other than G & G Electric Supply Co. Inc. and Joseph Fusco, 55 Hudson Yards, 20th Floor, New York, New York 10001

It is,

ORDERED that this motion by the plaintiff for an order of attachment is denied.

The gravamen of the complaint is that the defendant Igor Bron, aided and abetted by the defendants Rita Bron, Richard Sajiun, and Sajiun Electric, Inc., diverted corporate assets and opportunities from E. Electrical Contracting, LLC (“EEC”), which is owned by the plaintiff (51%) and Mr. Bron (49%). The plaintiff's chief claims against the Brons, Richard Sajiun and Sajiun Electric, Inc., are for fraud and aiding and abetting fraud, for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, and for unjust enrichment. The plaintiff moves for an order of attachment.

To obtain an order of attachment, the moving party must demonstrate through affidavit or other written evidence (1) the existence of a cause of action for a money judgment, (2) a probability of success on the merits, (3) the existence of one or more grounds enumerated in CPLR 6201, and (4) that the amount demanded from the defendant exceeds all counterclaims known to the plaintiff (see, CPLR 6212 [a]; Ford Motor Credit Co. v. Hickey Ford Sales, Inc., 62 N.Y.2d 291, 301, 476 N.Y.S.2d 791, 465 N.E.2d 330). Because attachment is a harsh remedy, CPLR 6201 is strictly construed in favor of those against whom it may be employed (651 Bay St., LLC v. Discenza, 189 A.D.3d 952, 953, 137 N.Y.S.3d 374; Sylmark Holdings Ltd. v. Silicone Zone Intern. Ltd., 5 Misc. 3d 285, 300-301, 783 N.Y.S.2d 758).

The plaintiff seeks an order of attachment against the defendant Richard Sajiun on the ground that he is a nondomiciliary residing in Florida. Pursuant to CPLR 6201 (1), a court may order an attachment when the defendant is a nondomiciliary residing without the state. This provision serves two independent purposes: (1) obtaining jurisdiction over a nonresident and (2) providing adequate security for a potential judgment against a nonresident when there is an identifiable risk that the defendant will not be able to satisfy any judgment (Id. at 301, 783 N.Y.S.2d 758). CPLR 6201 (1) is not available if the defendant is either a domiciliary or resident of New York (Rayo v. Vitale, 38 Misc. 3d 1211[a] at *9, 2012 WL 6869798). Thus, a nondomiciliary may contest his amenability to attachment by arguing that he maintains some sort of residence within New York (Id., citing Alexander, Practice Commentaries, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 7B, CPLR C6201:1).

Richard Sajiun has submitted an affidavit in which he avers that he resides in Suffolk County and works in New York City. The record reflects that he was served in Hampton Bays, New York, and that he has appeared in the action. Thus, jurisdiction has been obtained over Mr. Sajiun, and first purpose of attachment has been satisfied (see Sylmark Holdings Ltd., supra). With respect to the second purpose, the plaintiff contends that the Sajiun residence was sold below market value and that Mr. Sajiun removed the proceeds of the sale from New York to Florida. The plaintiff's contention that the Sajiun residence was sold below market value is based on a Zillow listing (not a affidavit from a real-estate appraiser), which reveals that the property sold for $2,300,000 in June 2021, only 3% below its estimated value of $2,371,800. Moreover, the plaintiff's contention that Mr. Sajiun took the proceeds of the sale to Florida is based upon information and belief. That the affidavits in support of an attachment contain allegations raising a suspicion of an intent to defraud is not enough (651 Bay St., LLC, supra). The mere removal, assignment, or other disposition of property is not grounds for attachment (Id.). Accordingly, the plaintiff has failed to demonstrate a real identifiable risk that Richard Sajiun will be unable to satisfy any judgment obtained by her (see Sylmark Holdings Ltd., supra).

The plaintiff also seeks an order of attachment against the defendants Igor Bron, Rita Bron, Richard Sajiun, and Sajiun Electric, Inc., pursuant to CPLR 6201 (3). Under this provision, the plaintiff must demonstrate: (1) that the defendants have assigned, disposed of, encumbered or secreted their property or removed it from the state or are about to do any such acts and (2) that the defendants have acted or will act with the intent to defraud their creditors or to frustrate the enforcement of a judgment that may be rendered in the plaintiff's favor (Id. at 301, 783 N.Y.S.2d 758).

The plaintiff attempts to demonstrate the defendants’ fraudulent intent by relying on the same allegations as underlie the complaint. Proof that a defendant committed the underlying unlawful acts is not, by itself, sufficient to establish a ground for attachment (NV Petrus SA v. LPG Trading Corp., U.S. Dist. Ct., E.D. N.Y., Aug. 22, 2016, Kuo, MJ, 2016 WL 11469718 at *5), nor is the transfer of the Bron residence to a family trust in 2017, long before this action was commenced. As previously noted, the mere removal, assignment, or other disposition of property is not grounds for attachment (651 Bay St., LLC, supra), and there are reasons to transfer property to a family trust other than to defraud creditors or to frustrate the enforcement of a judgment. Moreover, the plaintiff's allegations of fraudulent concealment of assets are based on information and belief. As previously noted, allegations raising a suspicion of an intent to defraud are not enough (Id.). Vague and conclusory allegations without evidentiary facts are insufficient for prejudgment attachment (see Sylmark Holdings Ltd., supra at 302, 783 N.Y.S.2d 758). Accordingly, the court finds that the plaintiff has failed to establish that one or more grounds for attachment provided in CPLR 6201 exist.

The plaintiff has also failed to establish a probability of success on the merits of her claims, which is necessary to obtain an order of attachment. First, the plaintiff's allegations plead a wrong to EEC for which the plaintiff may sue derivatively, but not individually (see Abrams v. Donati, 66 N.Y.2d 951, 953, 498 N.Y.S.2d 782, 489 N.E.2d 751). Second, the fraud cause of action alleges Mr. Bron entered into certain agreements with the plaintiff without any intention of honoring them. A mere misrepresentation of an intent to perform under a contract is insufficient to sustain a cause of action to recover damages for fraud (Gorman v. Fowkes, 97 A.D.3d 726, 727, 949 N.Y.S.2d 96). Third, the breach-of-fiduciary-duty cause of action alleges that Mr. Bron breached his fiduciary duty to the plaintiff. However, as the managing member of EEC, it was the plaintiff who owed a fiduciary duty to Mr. Bron (see Kalikow v. Shalik, 43 Misc. 3d 817, 823-826, 986 N.Y.S.2d 762). Fourth, the existence of the EEC Operating and Amended Operating Agreements defeats the unjust-enrichment cause of action (Id. at 217). Finally, in the absence of viable fraud and breach-of-fiduciary-duty causes of action, the aiding-and-abetting causes of action fail. Accordingly, the motion is denied.

Mario William Vitale 1 Winfield Drive Wolcott, ct 06716 A Beacon Of Light Written by: Mario Vitale A beacon of light to a much hurting world in need ! Can't help but to claim.., Some sense of identity, Stregnth and encouragement only come from above ! Amidst in the distance, the trapped seagull.., Lieth frightened but still yet adrift ! In a most vengeful fashion striking the passing fish, A true source of hope, Yet a most triumphal beam ! This beacon of light shineth forth, Passerby's can err' escape the helping hand.., To the most sparkling of radiance ! (2)Thanksgiving Dinner by Mario Vitale Home for the holiday from New Orleans, with Mother and Father at the tiny drop leaf, brown rosewood, mahogany table with the gold, grinning claw feet; Father, choler- red-in the-face, short- sleeved white shirt and cane, says the blessing as Mother brings in the turkey and cranberry. Then Mother asks, “Won’t you have more?” and father : “Do you think Moll Flanders was a *****?” (I have suffered and bleached my hair blond.) I am silent before their replies. Mother sighs. “I can scarce speak to her.” And Father, too, quotes Shakespeare. (I am thin as paper and the rose- colored bowl of blown glass sitting on the silver stand, half- filled with water.) “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless daughter” (3) Song of Spring Today I heard a robin sing heralding the coming spring A song of exultation to the sky an ode to earth's awakening I saw a willow on the hill It's branches greening in the sun and all the earth seemed hushed & still sleeping streams began to run I heard a softly rising breeze whispering through the grass singing through the still bare trees waiting winter's chill to pass I saw the sun, so bright and warm warming the earth after the rain the buds and leaves, no frost to harm at least, at last, it's spring again. (4) The Ancients It's my last day with the old giants In mourning I hike the lost trails, sniffing the aroma of the bark, that cinnamon of the forest Under tepees of wood in a membrane of shadows, I stalk the earth, its mammal traces, its elusive tracks, to sit on a fallen log where spiders macramé, moss sloping to my knees unaware of invisibles within, grubbing in their tunnels A lizard taps my foot, responding, I muse to its touch, my thoughts like Indian visions, And when daylight mushrooms into night, and an owl hoots from cedar, I still sit with a lizard on my shoe Huddled with the ancients of the woods (5) Epiphany Written by: Mario Vitale It clings to the cliffed shore, to the wintered face of the thistle path, to the fingers of the old man's glove as he waves his memory homeward In that breath between come and go she moves up from the bay; gold turns her stride, the line of her dress, the soft sea pulling at her feet When he reaches out and the frail birds fly and the sun and the sky have married deep into the sea, it clings Even as his shadow threads retreat, it clings, even now as it dissolves to mist (6) A Return Home, Only Time Will Tell Written by: Mario Vitale Oh blessed hope ! Both hardly a believable dream, Sweltering heat with bloodshed in the street... Send the troops home ! There is no clear reason for them to roam.., These are desolate times ! For we have chosen ill faded rhymes.., The casualties are enormous ? For a stated cause that clearly atrocious.., A mother's cry as the door chime rings, A vanishing salute to freedom as the church choir sings ! Let us look above to all the heavenly love.., Merciful one, take this chip off my shoulder.., Stop the senseless fighting before our dear nation grows a bit colder, Suddenly, seeds were dropped out of a farmers bag, In time roots spring up fresh out of the fertile soil... As the sun heats up, Time will tell when this harvest will soon boil... In the vast game of life, One's time is so very brief ! The soul yearns for its' heavenly relief.., Share with others who may want to turn over a brand new leaf.., Time will tell of the true importance of helping one another, To never give into the finish line.., Nor harsh criticism that our society puts out ! Like a famous fighter in his final bout ! Time will tell of the return home, To the open arms of a loved one ! (7) A Valiant Knight Written by: Mario Vitale A Valiant Knight Death springs a new day basking in the breeze In solemn moments lets pause to think of a place A far off castle in the mountains away from it all A valiant knight lived in the structure of it's dwelling Those days of old where mere men had a noble demise A beautiful maiden was in waiting for her knight He would often fight for the cause of stregnth and dignity The draw bridge where the castle stood had a very unique aura A mystery of sort sought up in the vast array of crowned nobility For the king on his thrown was humble yet greedy Always would take care of himself caring nothing for the needy A valiant knight was concerned about the kings trust Often they would disagree on who it was to serve A joker came in front of the king one day with a magic wand Waving the wand in the air then there floated ivy everywhere For the court jester was a fool in the making of his legacy The maiden would often come forth and see For she treasured a red rose that was plucked sometime before Cherished the calling of her stature to the glory of the throne A valiant knight would often sing sweet songs in the night Had a following of village people that would sit before his feet Having a way of words that he would often share The castle was filled with dragons and warlocks searching for love A cause to be brave amidst uncertainty of the kingdom The legacy of golden capulets filled ardent vestibules Let us toast to the valiant knight who keeps a watch on all that is good (8) Hampton Beach The smell of fresh fry doe Time had elapsed playing at the casino Fresh lobster with a side order of fries Those spacious wonderful sky's Down at the shell the continental were playing A walk by the lady of a statue in waiting Flip flops and the sound of laughter A playground for kids in the middle The boardwalk with seagulls flocking over head Fire works in the midnight air with a cheer (9) God's World It is raining again. Summer will be over before it ever gets here Thunder rolls far away, drops hit the windshield, the sky turns gray The Sunflower, the blue Delpinium, the white Stinkwood drink the moisture greedily. The green and silver leaves of the Aspens sparkle as the rain hits them, and the wind turns them round and round The creek flows on, oblivious to the change in the weather. A break in the clouds allows a bit of sun to hit the side of a towering mountain Three cows slowly wend their way homeward. It is dusk. The gray clouds lift and the sun bursts through, before sliding behind the hills for the night It is God's World. He gives it to us to enjoy and to share with each other (10) Jake's House There was a man whose name was Jake Who had a house upon the lake Every morning he would wake And for breakfast have a piece of cake He had a private fishing hole; He always used a long cane pole He fried his fish on red hot coal And served it in a great big bowl For a pet, he had a cat (11) In The Zone Written by: Mario Vitale In The Zone whispers... through the dark deranged portals you evoke fear filled with angelic fervor on it's textual base yet we dig much deep then ever before cries in the dark will light the spark of what we need to know still we stand idle as the average novice introduces its spell along again then the sadness evokes a newer feeling dwindling through the vain extraction of the never world we visually see a flash then a new day approaches on the lawn two lovers having passionate *** the screams of vile extreme explodes throughout perhaps this is the place where Nero tread yet again I sit alone in my house now huddled in the corner the twilight sun has tainted my inner vision the howls of Satanic laughter gives a piercing shriek through a candle was lit by the edge of my bed One can remain lax in the quietness of the moment yet again the setting of the sun a new day has begun as we embark on the moment Does death hurt you the most or is it fear You can equate logic through a firm grasp of the hand whispers again... then a faint cry, we construct living pyramids to honor the dead A stroke of luck an the impulse ensues onto so much more but for what are we grasping for straws what are we searching for ? quietness again this time I'm in the zone as if zombie creatures with viscous long fangs that bite dripping blood off side we run away to hide no one questions anymore no one has a voice alone one last time yet feelings of grandeur awake to the message of hope that spills from the sky a challenge to be free is a question of time eyes with spots digging holes in a pool of blood Satan laughing again spreads his wings Suddenly I awake but to what ? (12) An End Of The Age Of Innocence Part III Written by: Mario Vitale In our fast paced twentieth century world.., We oft' have neglected to stop to smell the roses, Oft' we used to bow our heads silently to pray, As we reflect back to the sixties is had launched a pad to rebellion ! With a vast amount of liberal bias and thinking, No wonder why our nation is sinking.., Sinking amidst a cuss pool of mere morality.., For now it is a quite different time, A very unique but different type of day.., An end of the age of innocence, One hath been enlightened.., From seeking truth, Some fresh out of a garbage can.., Yet for Gods' sake, He hath such an amazing plan ! Hence, to shun the broad road, Yet to seek to venture in the narrow.., Such as a distant bird in flight ! You might see this creature venture out at night ? Of the Eagle nor the Sparrow.., It used to mean something to have a sense of common courteous.., To hold open the door for your neighbor ? Yet for the time being we relent and waiver.., Would you prefer another taste of a certain ice cream flavor ? To ponder we must be content with who we are in the inside.., Nor, a mere fancy suit or blazing sport's car, Life is a roller coaster.., In what you do while busy making other plans.., Finding solace among the height of nature., Such to think at what is quite simple, As a young child reflects on his or her poster board, Playing with their magic crayons.., For in eternity it is such a very long time ! Take heed in what you do, Now is the expectant hour ! What will one choose to do ? There can be no place nor need for any compromise, Within it's vast perpetual spectrum ! One just can't put a price tag on a genuine but unique heart ! Hence, with honest integrity.., The time for change is today ! (13) He Was There by Mario William Vitale From the inner silence of the lamb he was there In welcoming to the world to share Within the multiple of words the mouth speaks As a heart beats through the passage of time To every poem that was ever written To every burden ever lifted To rivers crossing where people living Sometimes loving other moments giving In storms that were outside brewing What is the significance of this love In painted pictures from above To every soldier in a battle To every cow amidst the cattle Not a second glance at any real romance A field of dreams throughout our head From both fire and ice will make you think twice Perhaps another chance at a roll of the dice When every kingdom comes thy will be done Shadows in the shining morn if there's a rose it bears a thorn, He was there in every circumstance When they tried to throw stones at her He was there drawing a line with his finger in the sand It is my hope that some day all will understand A glance at the past will tell us of our future Amidst the inner pain & uncertainty Through shadows in a field of dreams In moments of solace amidst the pain A light moved out upon the street outside A day that wasn't meant to be Thorn crown was pulled upon his head Those shouts of intense anger from the mob There was only one who would help him back on his feet, A light that brought only a few to greet Let us not run away & hide Each one of our sins was placed on that cross To lose the battle now would end in tragic loss Father please forgive them for they know not what they do He said the prayer now the rest is up to you That cross that broke a sinful world apart With his blood-soaked crown with spear in side To show the whole world he had nothing to hide The summoned cry brought about healing in the sky Watch the free angelic dove fly! (14) Momma Of Pearls by Mario William Vitale Since there's nothing I could find That was worth giving you, I sat down to think a while And write a line or two If I had a magic wand I'd wave it just for you, And give you anything you'd like No matter how many or few If I could give you back the years You so willingly gave to me I'm sure that you spend them over again The same as they used to be Remember when those days and nights Instead of going to the fair I'd always say tell me again The story of the three little bears I tried to get a strawberry pie But they were out of season Then I thought of gold Mario William Vitale Written by Mario William Vitale 48/M/Wolcott, Ct 310 Please log in to view and add comments on poems

Harvey Weinstein Started Selling His Real Estate About Six Months Before His Downfall

Stephanie Keith/Getty Images

Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein began selling off personal real estate about six months before the publication of two articles that enumerated a flood of sexual-misconduct allegations against him, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of property records and people familiar with the transactions.

The purge resulted in the sale of six homes by Mr. Weinstein between October 2017 and April 2018 for an estimated total of $55.9 million. Another one of his homes is for sale. And in April 2019, he sold a commercial office space he owned with his brother and Weinstein Co. co-founder Robert. Robert Weinstein didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Leslie Cohen closed on her purchase of one of Mr. Weinstein’s Connecticut homes just three days before the publication of a New York Times article detailing his alleged sexual misconduct. She said that when she saw the article, she was upset and felt “deceived” that no one involved in the transaction warned her what was about to happen. Agents involved in the deal said they didn’t know about the article.

Mr. Weinstein is scheduled to go on criminal trial in New York on Sept. 9. Prosecutors have accused him of raping a woman at a Manhattan hotel in 2013 and forcibly performing oral sex on another woman in 2006. Mr. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges and has denied all accusations of nonconsensual sex. His lawyers are negotiating an approximately $45 million settlement that would resolve sexual-misconduct lawsuits against Mr. Weinstein.

The residential sales yielded an estimated $17.8 million more than the purchase prices paid by Mr. Weinstein, according to public records. The commercial office space brought $5 million more than the price the Weinstein brothers paid. The home Ms. Cohen bought in October 2017 sold for almost twice what Mr. Weinstein paid for it. But his Amagansett home, which he listed in April 2017, sold in November 2017 at a $1.65 million loss. Two of Mr. Weinstein’s residential properties and the commercial office condo sold for below market value, according to local agents, but combined, they still garnered a hefty return for Mr. Weinstein.

Such a flurry of sales isn’t unprecedented, especially following a death, divorce or bankruptcy, said Andrew S. Whiteley, an agent at William Raveis. But Mr. Weinstein’s move to sell so many properties is much rarer. “I’ve never seen anyone do that,” said Christoper Riccio, a New York-based real-estate agent.

A spokesman for Mr. Weinstein declined to comment on any of his specific real-estate transactions and said, “This is nothing other than Harvey Weinstein consolidating his property ownership to help make his divorce settlement a smoother matter, and to pay his legal counsel.”

Here is a timeline of the sale of Mr. Weinstein’s properties and of some of his legal and business complications.

Fate of the home: Ms. Cohen sold it in June 2018 for $1.425 million to the next-door neighbors, New York physician Arturo Constantiner and his wife, Caren Constantiner. Dr. Constantiner said their decision to purchase the house wasn’t impacted by Mr. Weinstein’s prior ownership of the property, but he thought Ms. Cohen paid too much for it. According to Westport building permits, the Constantiners demolished the home in the fall of 2018. The lot is vacant.

The New York Times article is published.

Harvey Weinstein’s beachfront property in Westport, CT

February 2, 2018—SOLD

Property: Westport, Conn., family home

Location: Beachside Avenue

Sold for: $16 million

List price: N/A, off-market sale

Purchased: Two adjoining parcels for $8.25 million in two separate transactions in 1994 and 2000 with Mr. Weinstein’s first wife, Ms. Chilton

Profit: $7.75 million

What: 8 bedrooms in main house, plus two additional homes, 6 acres, main house renovated in mid-1990s for roughly $1.2 million, movie theater.

Mr. Weinstein kept the property in the divorce from Ms. Chilton and married Ms. Chapman there in 2007, with a fireworks display launched from a barge on Long Island Sound. In 2012, the couple held a fundraiser on the property for President Barack Obama’s re-election.

Buyer: Andrew Bentley, who owns at least two other homes on Beachside Avenue. He didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Fate of the home: The terms of the deal allowed Mr. Weinstein to continue living on the property until February 2019, Mr. Weinstein’s lawyers said in court. Mr. Bentley has applied to demolish all three structures on the property. As of late July, the two smaller structures had been torn down, but the main house was still standing. Andrew S. Whiteley, of William Raveis, a local broker who wasn’t involved in the sale, says he has spoken with Mr. Bentley about his plans, which are to resell the lots with either one or two spec houses on them.

“It isn’t what modern buyers are looking for. There is probably some stigma to owning Harvey’s house,” said Mr. Whiteley, on why the homes are being demolished.

Mario William Vitale 1 Winfield Drive Wolcott, ct 06716 A Beacon Of Light Written by: Mario Vitale A beacon of light to a much hurting world in need ! Can't help but to claim.., Some sense of identity, Stregnth and encouragement only come from above ! Amidst in the distance, the trapped seagull.., Lieth frightened but still yet adrift ! In a most vengeful fashion striking the passing fish, A true source of hope, Yet a most triumphal beam ! This beacon of light shineth forth, Passerby's can err' escape the helping hand.., To the most sparkling of radiance ! (2)Thanksgiving Dinner by Mario Vitale Home for the holiday from New Orleans, with Mother and Father at the tiny drop leaf, brown rosewood, mahogany table with the gold, grinning claw feet; Father, choler- red-in the-face, short- sleeved white shirt and cane, says the blessing as Mother brings in the turkey and cranberry. Then Mother asks, “Won’t you have more?” and father : “Do you think Moll Flanders was a whore?” (I have suffered and bleached my hair blond.) I am silent before their replies. Mother sighs. “I can scarce speak to her.” And Father, too, quotes Shakespeare. (I am thin as paper and the rose- colored bowl of blown glass sitting on the silver stand, half- filled with water.) “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless daughter” (3) Song of Spring Today I heard a robin sing heralding the coming spring A song of exultation to the sky an ode to earth's awakening I saw a willow on the hill It's branches greening in the sun and all the earth seemed hushed & still sleeping streams began to run I heard a softly rising breeze whispering through the grass singing through the still bare trees waiting winter's chill to pass I saw the sun, so bright and warm warming the earth after the rain the buds and leaves, no frost to harm at least, at last, it's spring again. (4) The Ancients It's my last day with the old giants In mourning I hike the lost trails, sniffing the aroma of the bark, that cinnamon of the forest Under tepees of wood in a membrane of shadows, I stalk the earth, its mammal traces, its elusive tracks, to sit on a fallen log where spiders macramé, moss sloping to my knees unaware of invisibles within, grubbing in their tunnels A lizard taps my foot, responding, I muse to its touch, my thoughts like Indian visions, And when daylight mushrooms into night, and an owl hoots from cedar, I still sit with a lizard on my shoe Huddled with the ancients of the woods (5) Epiphany Written by: Mario Vitale It clings to the cliffed shore, to the wintered face of the thistle path, to the fingers of the old man's glove as he waves his memory homeward In that breath between come and go she moves up from the bay; gold turns her stride, the line of her dress, the soft sea pulling at her feet When he reaches out and the frail birds fly and the sun and the sky have married deep into the sea, it clings Even as his shadow threads retreat, it clings, even now as it dissolves to mist (6) A Return Home, Only Time Will Tell Written by: Mario Vitale Oh blessed hope ! Both hardly a believable dream, Sweltering heat with bloodshed in the street... Send the troops home ! There is no clear reason for them to roam.., These are desolate times ! For we have chosen ill faded rhymes.., The casualties are enormous ? For a stated cause that clearly atrocious.., A mother's cry as the door chime rings, A vanishing salute to freedom as the church choir sings ! Let us look above to all the heavenly love.., Merciful one, take this chip off my shoulder.., Stop the senseless fighting before our dear nation grows a bit colder, Suddenly, seeds were dropped out of a farmers bag, In time roots spring up fresh out of the fertile soil... As the sun heats up, Time will tell when this harvest will soon boil... In the vast game of life, One's time is so very brief ! The soul yearns for its' heavenly relief.., Share with others who may want to turn over a brand new leaf.., Time will tell of the true importance of helping one another, To never give into the finish line.., Nor harsh criticism that our society puts out ! Like a famous fighter in his final bout ! Time will tell of the return home, To the open arms of a loved one ! (7) A Valiant Knight Written by: Mario Vitale A Valiant Knight Death springs a new day basking in the breeze In solemn moments lets pause to think of a place A far off castle in the mountains away from it all A valiant knight lived in the structure of it's dwelling Those days of old where mere men had a noble demise A beautiful maiden was in waiting for her knight He would often fight for the cause of stregnth and dignity The draw bridge where the castle stood had a very unique aura A mystery of sort sought up in the vast array of crowned nobility For the king on his thrown was humble yet greedy Always would take care of himself caring nothing for the needy A valiant knight was concerned about the kings trust Often they would disagree on who it was to serve A joker came in front of the king one day with a magic wand Waving the wand in the air then there floated ivy everywhere For the court jester was a fool in the making of his legacy The maiden would often come forth and see For she treasured a red rose that was plucked sometime before Cherished the calling of her stature to the glory of the throne A valiant knight would often sing sweet songs in the night Had a following of village people that would sit before his feet Having a way of words that he would often share The castle was filled with dragons and warlocks searching for love A cause to be brave amidst uncertainty of the kingdom The legacy of golden capulets filled ardent vestibules Let us toast to the valiant knight who keeps a watch on all that is good (8) Hampton Beach The smell of fresh fry doe Time had elapsed playing at the casino Fresh lobster with a side order of fries Those spacious wonderful sky's Down at the shell the continental were playing A walk by the lady of a statue in waiting Flip flops and the sound of laughter A playground for kids in the middle The boardwalk with seagulls flocking over head Fire works in the midnight air with a cheer (9) God's World It is raining again. Summer will be over before it ever gets here Thunder rolls far away, drops hit the windshield, the sky turns gray The Sunflower, the blue Delpinium, the white Stinkwood drink the moisture greedily. The green and silver leaves of the Aspens sparkle as the rain hits them, and the wind turns them round and round The creek flows on, oblivious to the change in the weather. A break in the clouds allows a bit of sun to hit the side of a towering mountain TRate this poem:(0.00 / 0 votes)

Live Update: The Latest: Mickelson turns 48 and looks for a low score

New Post has been published on https://livevsongame-tv.com/golf/live-update-the-latest-mickelson-turns-48-and-looks-for-a-low-score-3/21939/html

Live Update: The Latest: Mickelson turns 48 and looks for a low score

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) The Latest on the US Open (all times local):

2:15 p.m.

Ryan Lumsden was surprised when his phone rang around 8 p.m. Friday and it was the USGA calling.

Article continues below …

He had missed the 36-hole cut at the U.S. Open, shooting 82-76.

The USGA asked the Scottish amateur from Northwestern University if he wanted to play Saturday at Shinnecock Hills as a marker because 67 players had made the cut. The 22-year-old from Britain immediately said yes.

”I thought it was always a club pro, someone who played at Shinnecock or an esteemed member,” Lumsden said. ”So to be given this opportunity is incredible. I’m so thankful.”

He teed off with Tim Wilkinson of New Zealand at 9:07 a.m.

”I played well,” Lumsden said afterward. ”I didn’t have my stuff the first two days to be honest. I was off. I was a little inconsistent. I came out today and I was playing a little faster, I guess a little less concerned with how was playing and good golf came from that.

”It’s going to be brilliant learning lesson for me.”

—

1:45 p.m.

For all Dustin Johnson’s power and athleticism, Wayne Gretzky believes one of his greatest assets is his attitude.

Gretzky stopped by the Fox Sports booth on Saturday to chat with hosts Brad Faxon and Shane Bacon. Johnson is engaged to Gretzky’s daughter, Paulina, and they have two children.

Johnson has leaned on the Great One for advice over the years. Gretzky says Johnson, who has a four-shot lead at Shinnecock Hills, never blames conditions or a golf course when something goes wrong on the course. And a lot has gone wrong over the years.

Gretzky recalled the time Johnson needed a 12-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole at Chambers Bay to win the 2015 U.S. Open. Johnson three-putted for par to finish one shot behind Jordan Spieth. The whole family went to Idaho the following day, and he says Johnson played golf with them for 20 straight days. Gretzky compared that with losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final and playing pickup hockey the next day with amateurs.

Gretzky was at Oakmont two years ago but had to leave before the final round when Johnson won the U.S. Open.

—

noon

Phil Mickelson won’t have any trouble remembering Saturday is his birthday.

Mickelson turned 48, and he was serenaded with ”Happy Birthday” when he strode to the first tee at Shinnecock Hills to start his third round of the U.S. Open. As he stepped toward the tee shot, one fan screamed, ”Hit a good birthday shot, Phil!”

And that was just the first hole.

The best present for Lefty would be contention for the title. This is the only major he has never won, and Mickelson has had two good chances at Shinnecock. He opened with two pars. He remains 10 shots behind.

—

11:20 a.m.

Dustin Johnson has history on his side going into the weekend at the U.S. Open.

Johnson became the seventh player to lead by at least four shots after 36 holes in more than a century of this 72-hole championship. Only one player failed to win the trophy, and that was in 1909 when Tom McNamara sputtered on the weekend.

Johnson was the only player under par – 4-under 136 – and led by four shots over Scott Piercy and Charley Hoffman.

Three major champions were within five shots – Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose and defending champion Brooks Koepka. The sun was out, and there was just enough wind in the Hamptons for Shinnecock Hills to remain the tough test it has been over the opening two days.

That Ugly Fireplace Isn’t as Bad as You Think

“The fireplace must be the focus of every rational scheme of arrangement,” Edith Wharton and Ogden Codman Jr. wrote in their 1897 design classic, “The Decoration of Houses.”

Not much has changed since then. Fireplaces are usually the dominant element in rooms lucky enough to have them, and the anchor around which furnishings are organized. In fact, most fireplaces refuse to be ignored, whether they’re beautiful or ugly. And therein lies the problem: What if your fireplace is clad in dated tile or discolored brick, or your mantel looks out of proportion or out of place?

Giving a fireplace a new look may seem daunting, but it’s not as hard as it sounds.

“It’s an architectural ornament that’s changeable,” said Thomas Jayne, an interior designer in New York and the author of “Classical Principles for Modern Design,” a book on applying Wharton and Codman’s ideas to contemporary interiors.

Transforming the appearance of a fireplace is usually well worth the time and expense, he said, because “if you like your fireplace, you’ll like your whole room a lot better.”

We asked Mr. Jayne and other designers for advice on how to deal with a problematic fireplace.

Consider What You Have

It’s easy to write off old mantels and surrounds as unappealing when they’re damaged from years of abuse or covered in layers of soot, grime or caked paint.

But don’t automatically assume that you need to rip out or cover up what you’ve got. Instead, try to imagine what your fireplace would look like if it were restored.

“In a lot of projects, we start with ugly-looking fireplaces” that are actually beautiful underneath, said Andrea Fisk, who founded the Brooklyn-based architecture firm Shapeless Studio with Jess Thomas Hinshaw.

“A lot of them have just been painted over and over and over,” Ms. Thomas Hinshaw said, “so that they’ve lost a lot of the detailing and character.”

When Ms. Fisk and her life partner bought a rundown townhouse of their own in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, it had a dreary-looking living room fireplace covered in dirty cream-colored paint. But rather than immediately removing the mantel, Ms. Fisk performed a careful investigation.

“We really had no idea what was under there,” she said. They couldn’t even tell whether the mantel was stone or wood. With a chemical paint remover, she stripped away layers of paint and was astonished by what she found: a stunning mantel of green and gray slate with hints of pink and carved floral details.

“That was a wonderful surprise,” she said.

Not only did she keep it — after removing every trace of the old paint, of course — she also based the color palette of the room on it.

Paint It

There’s a reason old mantels are often thick with layers of paint: It’s one of the easiest and least expensive ways to change the look of a fireplace. When done well, with an appropriate amount of paint — not gobs, which can clump, drip and look unsightly — painting can be surprisingly effective.

Susana Simonpietri, owner and creative director of the Brooklyn-based design firm Chango & Co., occasionally paints brick fireplaces white for a crisp, fresh look. Recently, she did so while renovating a 1970s house in East Hampton, N.Y., which had a two-sided fireplace between the living and dining rooms made from orangy brick that neither she nor her clients liked.

“We painted the outside white and the inside of the fireplace black, for a lot of contrast,” she said.

It was as simple as covering the brick with a sealing primer, she said, and then applying several coats of Decorator’s White paint from Benjamin Moore. “The priming is very important,” she said. “If you don’t prime, the color from the bricks will bleed through.”

Almost any type of paint can be used on the outside of a fireplace, Ms. Simonpietri said, though she prefers an exterior-grade paint for durability. But inside the firebox, it’s important to use a special high-temperature paint that can withstand the heat.

A painted brick fireplace is easy to maintain, she said, even when it’s white: “All you have to do is hit it with another coat of paint when it gets dirty, over time, from the smoke.”

Change the Mantel

Replacing an existing mantel or chimney piece, or adding one where there was previously none, can immediately change the character of a fireplace.

A traditional fireplace can be made to look modern with the addition of a mantel composed of simple marble slabs, and a contemporary fireplace can be given a sense of age with a traditional wood mantel that has classical details.

“Changing the mantel itself is not that big a deal,” Ms. Simonpietri said, noting that they can usually be pried off the wall like trim. “Essentially, you are left with walls that need to be healed. If you’re a handy person, it’s a do-it-yourself project.”

Replacement mantels are widely available at a range of prices, from home improvement stores like the Home Depot to specialty manufacturers like Chesneys. And reclaimed mantels can be found at architectural salvage stores like Big Reuse, Olde Good Things and Demolition Depot and Irreplaceable Artifacts.

You can also build a custom mantel, like Vincent DiSalvo, a principal of DiSalvo Contracting in New York, frequently does for his clients.

Installing a new mantel is fairly straightforward, Mr. DiSalvo said, “as long as you work within the parameters of code requirements,” and size it properly to fit the existing opening. Combustible materials — like a wood mantel — must be at least six inches back from the sides of a wood-burning firebox, he said, and “the horizontal piece that runs across the top of the firebox should be around 12 inches” above the opening, depending on how far the mantel projects off the wall.

The resulting gap between the firebox and mantel creates another design opportunity, he noted, and can be finished with distinctive ceramic tile or stone.

Install a Creative Surround

Of course, not every fireplace needs to be finished with a conventional mantel. There are countless creative alternatives.

When Mr. Jayne renovated a house for clients in Oyster Bay, N.Y., he designed a tall box clad in Delft tiles to surround the fireplace.

“Rather than just having a fireplace with a row of Delft tiles and a pretty 19th-century wood molding around it, we tried to modernize it and make it more contemporary,” he said.

Sometimes, Mr. Jayne eliminates a ledge or shelf above the fireplace altogether, as he did in the library of an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. There, he removed the existing “pseudo Georgian Revival” mantel and clad the wall around the fireplace in colorful mosaic tile — a design loosely inspired by a fireplace in a dining room designed by Stanford White at Kingscote, a 19th-century house in Newport, R.I.

For a more monolithic appearance, a fireplace can be resurfaced in concrete or natural stone in the same way. If you use natural stone, though, choose a dark one, like slate, rather than a light one, like white marble, Mr. DiSalvo advised: “You want to select a stone that isn’t easily stained by soot. A darker-colored stone holds up better over time.”

Or Transform the Whole Wall

Attacking the mantel or the area immediately around the fireplace sometimes isn’t enough. In that case, the whole wall that houses the fireplace may need attention.

When Shapeless Studio renovated a Brooklyn apartment that had an especially unappealing brick wall with a fireplace, they built a new wall with drywall in front of it, floor to ceiling, to conceal the entire expanse.

That slightly reduced the footprint of the living room, but it created a cleaner look and the opportunity to add a beefy custom limestone mantel. The architects also used the thickness of the new wall to create recessed storage nooks on either side of the fireplace.

Linc Thelen, a Chicago-based designer, used a similar strategy to conceal a dated-looking rubble-stone feature wall with a fireplace when he renovated a house in rural Indiana.

“We had to reframe it,” he said, because there was no other reasonable way to remove or conceal the stone. After adding cement board to the framing for a smooth surface, he installed a linear arrangement of buff-colored manufactured stone veneer from Eldorado Stone on top.

“I wanted something that was minimal, but also warm and modern,” he said.

Building a second wall may seem somewhat extreme, but transforming the appearance of an unloved fireplace can pay big dividends. “The fireplace can help tie the whole house together,” Mr. Thelen said. “And it can say a lot about the personality of the person.”

There are also family traditions to consider, he added: “You can have Santa Claus coming down a stylish chimney.”

Tiger’s U.S. Open might be finished after 2 hard rounds

Woods gave away some shots and lost some to a difficult course, but he finished strong to give himself a chance at the cut.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Tiger Woods probably won’t survive to play the weekend at the U.S. Open. He finished his second round on Friday at a solid 2 strokes over for the day but 10 over for the tournament, in a tie for 101st place and needing an unlikely amount of help.

The top 60 scorers plus ties make the cut, and it would take a lot of high scores to push Woods in. The course might play more easily in the afternoon, too, after rainfall softened up the grounds at Shinnecock Hills during the morning. On the remote chance Woods makes the cut, he’s far enough back to be a non-factor on the weekend.

Almost all of the damage was done on Thursday. Woods shot an 8-over-par 78 in his first round, sunk by a triple-bogey on the first hole and back-to-back doubles on his back nine. He was tied for 101st in the 156-man field at the end of the day, with work ahead of him. It looked for a time on Friday like he’d get himself inside the cut line. He birdied his first hole of the day, the par-4 10th, and rebounded from a bogey at the 14th with a birdie at the 16th.

Things turned negative again when he made double-bogey at the par-4 1st, the same hole he tripled on Thursday. Woods hit his approach shot into some wet fescue rough to the right of the hole, then hacked his ball out and over the green. After pitching on, he needed two putts to finish, and he dropped to plus-10 for the tournament.

He made bogey on two of his next five holes. In two days, he was 5 over at No. 1, and he dropped a combined 10 shots between the 1st, the par-3 2nd, and the par-4 14th.

Woods finished, however, with birdies on his last two holes of the day, the par-4 8th and 9th. He drained a 17-foot putt on his last stroke of Friday to card a 72 for the day. His missing the cut was just about certain before those two birdies, but he might sneak in now.

It’s been a decade since Tiger’s last major win.

That came in the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, when he tied Rocco Mediate with a blockbuster putt on the 18th green on Sunday, then beat the veteran in an 18-hole playoff that took 19 holes on Monday. In a way, an entire era of golf has passed since then. Woods played his opening rounds in ‘08 with Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott, then the No. 2 and 3 players in the world. This year he played with Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas, the current 1 and 2. Woods is now the 80th-ranked player, and even that’s a recent jump.

Five years have passed since Woods even made a cut in this tournament, at Merion in 2013. He didn’t play it in 2014 and flamed out quickly at Chambers Bay in 2015, when he was injured and probably shouldn’t have been playing at all. He can still destroy a golf ball, and he hit some blazing shots during his 36 holes in the Hamptons. But he didn’t make any exceptional shots around the greens, at least not until his last putt on Friday. He hit just 44 percent of greens in regulation, setting up his strings of bogeys.

This week hasn’t signaled that Woods is finished. He still cuts an imposing figure on the course and looks like Tiger Woods when he swings. But he doesn’t appear all that close to putting everything together for the kind of effort he’ll need to win a 15th major.

‘Abstract Climates’: Helen Frankenthaler’s Ode to Provincetown

The Abstract Expressionist and Color Field painter Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011) had a way of ignoring boundaries. As a child, she drew a line in chalk on the ground from the Metropolitan Museum to her family’s apartment on 74th Street. Later, she did away with the idea of “paint on canvas” by essentially fusing the paint and the canvas: saturating unprimed grounds with liquidy, thinned-out oil and acrylic.

In “Abstract Climates: Helen Frankenthaler in Provincetown,” at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, N.Y., we see her develop this signature method by immersing herself in the landscape on the Massachusetts coast (sometimes literally, as in a photograph of Frankenthaler swimming right outside her waterfront home and studio). At the same time, we see a young artist responding to the pressures of increasing fame and a new family life by trying to set some limits.

Spanning the years 1950 to 1969, “Abstract Climates” (which debuted at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum last summer) deftly interweaves creative and personal breakthroughs with a combination of artworks and ephemera. It culminates in a rapturous, triumphant gallery of the large-scale “soak stain” paintings that gave rise to the Color Field movement — works like “Flood” (1967), with its translucent pink-and-orange waves lapping at strips of blue and green.

She had hit on the stain technique some years before “Flood,” in the airy pink-and-blue fantasia of “Mountains and Sea” (1952), which was painted in Manhattan and inspired by the landscape of Nova Scotia but is sufficiently influential to have made it into the show. In Provincetown, however, Frankenthaler used this method more freely and on ever larger canvases — emboldened, perhaps, by more capacious studios and proximity to water, but also by the more relaxed atmosphere. It was a place where Frank O’Hara or Henry Geldzahler might drop by for lunch, but an artist could work for hours undisturbed by what Frankenthaler called the city’s “influx” of dealers, critics and reporters. (It undoubtedly helped that she chose not to install a telephone.)

Although the show focuses on the work Frankenthaler made in Provincetown, it looks very much at home in the Hamptons (where she spent several summers in the 1950s, as evinced by a marvelously casual 1952 photograph of two art world power couples: Frankenthaler and Clement Greenberg, the art critic who was her boyfriend at the time, enjoying a day at the beach in East Hampton with their friends Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock.)

It was Greenberg who prompted Frankenthaler’s first trip to Provincetown, in 1950, with a suggestion that she study with the revered teacher of abstract painting Hans Hofmann. A small oil from that time, “Provincetown Bay,” appears cautious with its muted gray-greens and distinct horizon line.

Most of the show’s paintings, however, date from the 1960s, when Frankenthaler and her first husband, Robert Motherwell, were regular summer residents in Provincetown. Her progression from small canvases to large ones, drawing to painting, tight brush strokes to pooling stains, is rapid and exhilarating. In a group of expansive works from 1961, as in “Orange Breaking Through,” unwieldy splotches of tangerine and crimson disturb simple black outlines of squares and circles.

By 1962, the stains — with their uncontrollable, feathery edges — have taken over; corralled into tight, centralized clusters, they evoke landscapes (with some help from titles like “Breakwater” and “The Cape”). Then they expand and merge into each other, as in “Low Tide” (1963), with its aqueous blue-green mass partly engulfed by yellow.

Organized by Lise Motherwell, one of Frankenthaler’s two stepdaughters, and Elizabeth Smith, the executive director of the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, the exhibition’s many familial touches (datebooks, letters, snapshots, and a warm but candid catalog essay by Ms. Motherwell) highlight some of the work-life challenges Frankenthaler and her peers faced, many of which persist for female artists today.

As an artist on the rise, with solo shows at Tibor de Nagy and Andre Emmerich and a mini-retrospective at the Jewish Museum under her belt, Frankenthaler was already navigating some of those issues in 1960 when, about a year and a half into her marriage to Motherwell, she unexpectedly became a full-time stepmother to Lise and her sister Jeannie because of a change in custody arrangements. (They later went back to live with their mother but continued to spend summers with their father and stepmother in Provincetown.)

A difficult period of adjustment followed, as Frankenthaler described with unflinching introspection in a letter to her friend and fellow artist Grace Hartigan: “after the numbness and crisis came the shock, then the resentment, the bravery, the real and false tries, the examination and self-examination, the reaction of selfishness, the anger … and now, finally, a kind of peacemaking turning point that is rewarding and marks many changes … in me.”

The catalog essay by Ms. Motherwell, a retired psychologist, describes many charming moments of summer fun and family bonding: Frankenthaler helping the sisters set up a lemonade stand, teaching them to do the twist to Chubby Checker, inviting them into her studio to draw and paint. And it hints at the ways in which Frankenthaler established routines, for their benefit and hers: The girls, for instance, had to be home at 1 p.m. every day for lunch and to “check in.”

It also does not shy away from some of the more complex, contradictory aspects of Frankenthaler’s image and self-concept. “Helen would have hated to be called a feminist,” Ms. Motherwell writes, “and yet as a female artist in a male-dominated art world, she encountered plenty of resistance and still broke down barriers.”

“Abstract Climates” is ostensibly about the particular coastal landscape that helped to nudge Frankenthaler into her mature style, and in places it’s quite specific. The imposing 1969 painting “Blessing of the Fleet,” for instance, pays homage to a local seafaring ritual with festive red and green, the colors of the Portuguese flag. But overall, it presents Provincetown as more of a psychic space, one of negotiation and self-discovery, with new family responsibilities but not too much structure — a “desired void,” as Frankenthaler wrote in a 1962 letter to Hartigan. “I hope to reach out from within and grow rather than give up and stop.”
