Folk Art Hobby Horse

Old platform rocking horse would look festive filled with evergreens on a sideboard, or as a display for collectible dolls.
Handmade by someone for a toddler, now best used as a decorative piece.  The rope tails are clean, and the drawn-on faces
are cute.  Great price for a real piece of folk art - $45

GRE study buddy

Anyone else planning to take the GRE in January/February?  Looking for a fellow test-taker to meet up at the Cortelyou library or a coffee shop once or twice a week to take turns drilling vocab and practicing math problems.

2 Huges, Awesome, desks

We have two huge, awesome, great, desks. We love them, but we're moving to a smaller place, and we need the room. That being said, they're both open concept desks, so you get the best of two worlds - a huge desk, but one that doesn't feel huge.

The first desk is a drafting desk, and it's going for 75. I've used it for a few years, and it's served me great.

The second desk is a sturdy, trestle desk, made out of hardwood. This one is close to brand new, and its going for 250.

We live right off Cortelyou, in an elevator building. We can disassemble the desks to make it easier for you to pick them up too.

If you have questions, email me at:

Yard available?

I just adopted a little dog (under 10 lbs) and am looking to find a fenced yard in the neighborhood that I might be able to arrange to take her to play for 20-30minutes each week for a small fee. A fully-fenced area would allow her to run around off lead and have some fun in a way that she can't during her daily walks. (She is too fragile for dog parks unfortunately...). Rest assured, there would be no trace of her presence left behind in your yard afterwards. If you have a yard and this is of interest, please email me at ditmasyard@yahoo.com.  Thanks!

Apt. for rent

Hi all, we have a furnished (or un if you prefer) apt. on the first floor of our victorian home here in Ditmas Park available for a 6 month lease starting Jan 1st. We have been trying to use it as a vacation rental, but are finding that somewhat time consuming in our already busy lives, so thought we'd try and see if someone needs a short term place.  Start and end dates are semi flexible. Rent includes access to front porch (yard in back negotiable), laundry in basement, wi fi and basic cable. This is a perfect apt. for a couple, but open to other situations as well.  We live upstairs with our 2 children and are friendly, but respectful of our tenants. Rent is $1900 per month and water and gas are also inluded. Electric is your responsibility. We will need first and one month security and will do a credit and reference check. Please be prepared to show proof of employment and income.   Rent could be negotiated if you don't care for cable tv or wi fi access. Please send all inquiries to Dancingfairygal@gmail.com  and I will get back to you. Thanks!

Think Smart Coaching

Does your child:

• Misplace project outlines, homework, metrocard, lunch money, trip slips, shoes, etc
• Become overwhelmed by homework projects
• Misjudge the time needed to finish long term assignments
• Have difficulty planning and prioritizing school assignments
• Start assignments at the last minute

Do you think your child is lazy?
Are told by teachers that your child doesn't live up to his or her potential?
Is domestic tranquility being affected by your child's difficulties?

It is time to rethink how to view and cope with these issues.
FREE EVALUATION ($375 value) with prepayment of 3 one hour coaching sessions.  Available to readers of the Ditmas Park Blog. Initial appointment must be completed before December 31st.  Convenient location. After school and weekend hours. Think Smart Coaching, www.thinksmartcoaching.com.

$537 (all utilities included) room 2 blocks from the park! (Caton Park area)



hi-

Our roommate is moving out at the end of november, so we have a room opening up in our place on December 1st. A few blocks from the Church Avenue Q/B stop, and about two blocks from the park. Also about a 10-minute walk to Cortelyou Road, where there are lots of great new bars, restaurants, and cafes. The room is $537 including all utilities, netflix, and internet. plus a $900 deposit you'll get back when you move out...

3 friendly guys living here (2 musicians, 1 alt. medicine/acupuncture student), so we're looking for someone who doesn't mind people playing during the day ...we'd actually prefer a female (just to keep things balanced), but of course that's open. We're all pretty laid back, but we definitely need someone who's good about washing dishes and keeping the kitchen generally clean.

Please tell us a little bit about yourself in your reply, thanks!

B44 Bus Rapid Transit Community Meeting - Monday November 15th at 6:30pm

Do you use the B44 bus line to go to work, school or for any other trip? You should attend the Public Open House on November 15th at Brooklyn College to discuss the design of Brooklyn's first proposed Bus Rapid Transit line. The BRT line is important in conversations not just about the Flatbush area but about Brooklyn's transit system itself. It is an exciting development and encouraging step towards upgrading the public transportation system.

Bus Rapid Transit is a cost effective, efficient and easy way to improve speed and reliability of bus service for commuters along major traffic corridors. The New York City Department of Transportation in conjunction with MTA New York City Transit is looking for public input about the design of the Select Bus Service plans on Nostrand and Rogers Ave. The open house allows the public to speak with the project's staff individually and provides a venue to promote community engagement in the planning process.

(For more information and summary of the design and progress of the project check out this link!)

From 6:30 pm- 8:30 pm

Running Partner

I'm a beginning runner who has been doing walk/runs around the
neighborhood after work. I'm working toward a 4 mile run in December
and a half marathon some time in the next year. I've been discouraged
about running in the evenings lately because it's getting dark so
early. I'd love to have a reliable running partner who is at about my
level and wants to work on improving their running with me about once
a week. E-mail me at emily.hultman at gmail.com

Road of Bones film festival at local gallery this weekend

November 12, 13, 14
On the Road of Bones Film Festival

A film marathon for cineastes tied into our latest gallery exhibition
at Kris Waldherr Art and Words studio-gallery, located in Ditmas Park.
Films by Kurosawa, Paradjanov, Mikhalkov. Films are projected. Popcorn
provided. Suggested donation $5.

Friday, November 12, 8:00 pm

There Lived Kozyavin (7 min.), Andrei Khrjanovsky, 1966
A daring critique of Soviet bureaucracy, this animated short film was
shown throughout the USSR but was never seen abroad until after
perestroika.

The Legend of Suram Fortress (83 min.), Sergei Paradjanov, 1984
A visually dazzling surrealist masterpiece inspired by an old Russian
folk tale. In ancient times, a young man must be entombed alive inside
a fortress to fulfill a prophecy and save his people. In Georgian,
with English subtitles.
"Deliriously abstract"—Chicago Tribune

Saturday, November 13, 8:00 pm

My Green Crocodile (1 min.), Vadim Kurchevsky, 1966
A metaphorical tale of love and courage, told in stop-motion animation.

Dersu Uzala (140 min.), Akira Kurosawa, 1974
Kurosawa's gorgeous epic adaptation of V.K. Arseniev's classic memoir,
a sweeping Soviet-Japanese co-production, won the Academy Award for
Best Foreign Film. A Mongolian hunter, derided as foolish and
primitive by a crew of Russian surveyors, guides them through Siberian
wilderness where his bravery and wisdom teach them the meaning of
friendship and respect.

Sunday, November 14, 2:00 pm

Man in the Frame (10 min.), Fyodor Khitruk, 1966
This animated collage dramatizing the crushing of the individual in
mass society somehow eluded the hand of the Soviet censors without
resorting to coded symbolism or allegorical fable.

Burnt by the Sun (135 min.), Nikita Mikhalkov, 1994
The happy family of a hero of the revolution suddenly finds itself
targeted by Stalin's secret police. This hauntingly lyrical story
about love and loss was one of the most acclaimed films produced in
the early years of the post-Soviet cinema.

* * * * * * * * * *

Saturday, November 13, 7 pm
"Road of Bones" Curator Talk

Anthropologist and curator Tom Miller will discuss the history and
cultures of the Russian north, with rare photos and recordings from

On the Road of Bones Film Festival

Friday, November 12, 8:00 pm

There Lived Kozyavin (7 min.), Andrei Khrjanovsky, 1966
A daring critique of Soviet bureaucracy, this animated short film was shown throughout the USSR but was never seen abroad until after perestroika.

The Legend of Suram Fortress (83 min.), Sergei Paradjanov, 1984
A visually dazzling surrealist masterpiece inspired by an old Russian folk tale. In ancient times, a young man must be entombed alive inside a fortress to fulfill a prophecy and save his people. In Georgian, with English subtitles.
"Deliriously abstract"—Chicago Tribune

Saturday, November 13, 8:00 pm

My Green Crocodile (1 min.), Vadim Kurchevsky, 1966
A metaphorical tale of love and courage, told in stop-motion animation.

Dersu Uzala (140 min.), Akira Kurosawa, 1974
Kurosawa's gorgeous epic adaptation of V.K. Arseniev's classic memoir, a sweeping Soviet-Japanese co-production, won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. A Mongolian hunter, derided as foolish and primitive by a crew of Russian surveyors, guides them through Siberian wilderness where his bravery and wisdom teach them the meaning of friendship and respect.

Sunday, November 14, 2:00 pm

Man in the Frame (10 min.), Fyodor Khitruk, 1966
This animated collage dramatizing the crushing of the individual in mass society somehow eluded the hand of the Soviet censors without resorting to coded symbolism or allegorical fable.

Burnt by the Sun (135 min.), Nikita Mikhalkov, 1994
The happy family of a hero of the revolution suddenly finds itself targeted by Stalin's secret police. This hauntingly lyrical story about love and loss was one of the most acclaimed films produced in the early years of the post-Soviet cinema.

Demographics is the driving indicator as to be able to whether a tanning bed business includes a chance of making the idea or not. While there are numerous other factors that procede with going into having a successful company, the demographics are where you will need to start.

The tanning bed shops and landlords will provide you demographic data but organizations times that this information may be padded. Instead, do the research yourself at no cost. Visit the Census web page and FreeDemographicsNow website and also you can search by target in multiple radius out of that location.

You is going to be looking at the availablility of people in a JUST ONE, 2 and 3 mile radius out of your proposed location. The further out people, the harder it is always to draw them in. One thing this research won't be capable of tell you is the amount of people working in a clear area. A large portion associated with people use tanning salons while in their lunch hour plus after work so sometimes the numbers is usually misleading.

With your radius established you should look at how many white males and females between the ages with 18-44, have an average family members income of $50k+ you can find, which are published sector statistics. Generally you male to female ratio will probably be 30%/70% but many are different slightly, but the male percentage has become increasing over the past not too long. A rough number to also factor is going 8% of people inside U. S. admit in order to tanning.

When you understand this number, you now hold the total market potential for the area. Divide by the total availablility of salons in a 15 mile radius and see if you have enough people to service another tanning salon. Insurance policy coverage distribution won't be of which evenly split, at least you've an educated guess concerning whether your salon may succeed.
