Like I said, I indulge in all the New Orleans food So I want to get back on track really have a whole food Focus for today all of those good fruits vegetables Just whole foods as much as possible and of course getting back to tracking my food because I didn't track on my trip Making sure I'm reaching my protein goal just being a little bit more mindful So I'm going to have one of these Gilbert's caprese sausages I do have some diced up green onions in my refrigerator that need to be used up And then I have some egg whites. So I'm going to again make just kind of an egg scramble I may top it with a little bit of cheese I probably will and then I have some blueberries as well that I need to eat up So I'm going to put together an egg scramble blueberry breakfast So I did four tablespoons of egg whites just measure that out on my food scale My Gilbert sausage some green onions and then I topped it with pepper and Trader Joe's onion salt So here is my breakfast. This looks absolutely Amazing. So I did end up adding 10 grams of the Trader Joe's light shredded cheese just right on top of the eggs with the sausage 75 grams of blueberries. This is such a low calorie high volume meal very very filling for very low calories and absolutely packed with protein Healthy carbs fiber. I'll go ahead and put all of the macros calories and points here on the screen for you It has been a busy day. I actually just refilled My water with the motivate burn because I need some extra energy today. Like I said, I didn't get home till midnight and I didn't go to sleep till like almost one I was up at five We need energy. So I have some motivate burn Like I said, I finished unpacking and then I was going through all the mail all the boxes that came And there's actually one package that arrived that I'm really excited about. I've been patiently waiting for it You know that I go to boot camp three days a week And we have to supply our own equipment our own yoga mat our own medicine ball and our own weights My yoga mat I bought on amazon. It was a good price, but it is completely trashed already. It is scratched It's peeling. It's filthy dirty. It is one of the ones that rolls up It unrolls all the time. It's a big mess in the back of my car. So I decided to buy a folding mat and what's really cool about this mat is it can be used for My purpose of boot camp or exercising at home But it's also made for equipment like under a peloton a treadmill or an exercise bike and this is it It's actually from the brand rye well and I got it right off of amazon It is so nice and it folds up How great is that? So instead of having to roll up my mat after my workout I can simply fold it up slide it into my car. It's going to take up a lot less space And it's going to just work so much better for me. I'm super excited about this I'm taking it with me for a trial run on wednesday But I wanted to share it with you guys because it is so versatile Like I said, it can be used under any at home gym equipment like a peloton an exercise bike a treadmill a weight machine Really anything. This is a high density durable workout mat foldable non-slip and Waterproof super easy to clean and you guys the price of this is less than the crappy mat I bought on amazon although you can buy this on amazon as well The price is much better ranges for about 24 to 27 dollars Depending on the size of the mat that you get as well as the color It does come in black and gray and black and blue It is 10 times more durable than any other workout mat. It is great for heavy exercise equipment It does not crease even after extended use and with equipment these types of mats can extend the years of your equipment 5 to 10 years by preventing damage caused by contact between exercise equipment and the floor I love that it is foldable. It makes it super super easy even though these come in 5 by 5.6 feet by 2 feet and 6 feet by 2.6 feet It folds up into this little compact Package the thickness is only 3.14 inches allowing you to store it anywhere when you finish your workout Or if you need to clean your machine What's also great is it's grippy and we always want some stability and some grip under our workout equipment Briwell is the perfect mat to add that rough pattern for greater resistance and a non slip grid layer The other fantastic thing about this is noise control So if you are in an apartment or you have neighbors Up down or on the sides this mat's going to provide you noise control Which is fantastic as long as well as all of the amazing other benefits It is safe to use and easy to clean the mat has a water and oil repellent coating So cleaning is simple. Just wipe it down with soapy water. I can't tell you how excited I am about this I mean, this is the perfect versatile mat for all of your exercise needs If I had any at-home exercise equipment you can better be putting this under all of it because the price Is so great and the quality can't be beat. The thickness is perfection I love that it's gray on one side black on the other The other one is going to be blue on one side and black on the other and like I said less than 30 dollars those gym floor Tile stick together tiles and other gym mats are two three four times the price and nowhere near the quality of this Briwell, so I will link this down below on amazon with a discount for you So if you're in the market for an exercise mat or mat under your gym equipment, this Briwell one is perfect My least favorite part of traveling is unpacking and laundry. Oh my goodness. I just finished unpacking That was a lot. I feel like packing to go and unpacking is the absolute worst packing to head home Not a problem. You just kind of throw all your stuff in a suitcase, but I'm finally down. I have a load of laundry going I've been running around like crazy and I am going to have a morning snack because I'm getting a little bit hungry We don't have a lot of food in our house because as you saw in my grocery haul I did a very minimal grocery haul. I am planning on a pretty big haul this next saturday So i'm trying to eat up what we have in the house and again just Refocusing resetting getting back on track after vacation So I have one yogurt left in my fridge and it's actually The oikos protein yogurt in mixed berry. It has 20 grams of protein Which is amazing and then I just washed some fresh raspberries So I get asked a lot about this whole berries in a jar thing I even do that with cucumbers. It helps keep your berries really fresh. I wash them. I put them in the jar I do not dry them. I do drain any excess liquid that might be in the jar But i'm but this is really just a great way to keep your berries and your vegetables really fresh So i'm probably going to do maybe like 40 or 50 grams of raspberries on my yogurt So there we have it 50 grams of raspberries on an oikos pro yogurt. This yogurt is fantastic It's the highest protein yogurt that you can get it's really really delicious And I always love to add fruit freeze dried fruit or granola and this I can I have to say looks pretty amazing Would you guys like a special bone? Oh special bones. Come on. Yes.  I'm definitely ready for lunch. I've been working away unpacking doing laundry So Today's lunch. I'm actually pretty excited about I picked up the trader joe's turkey burgers in a recent grocery haul I haven't had these in so long and these are so So good. There's actually 22 grams of protein per turkey burger now.  They're nice and crunchy nice and cheesy. So here's my lunch I can't tell you how excited I am So we had a little faux pa with the cheese when I went to dig the burger out of the pan and flipped over So the cheese got a little wonky, but it's one slice of that reduced fat pepper jack cheese Dijon mustard and then one serving of the cheese puffs. You actually get a lot for the points and calories So go ahead and put all of the macros points calories here on the screen for you So i'm going to go check the mail and I wanted to show you guys our cactus Look at the flowers on this. This is seriously new. We just planted this about a month ago Those suckers are like four to five inches long.  That's what turns into the flower And actually over here and these are brand new too.  So that is very exciting. We are Inxious to see what these look like. I heard my mother-in-law said that they only bloom For a very very short time like a day or two then they're gone But i'm just biting at the bullet to see what they look like in full bloom It is afternoon snack time and i'm keeping it simple. I'm not super excited. I've been really focusing on water That's one of my tips for you if you indulge if you go on vacation If you have an exciting weekend with lots of good food make sure you up your water That's going to help kind of flush everything out So i've been drinking a lot of water today which is kind of filling me up But i'm a little bit hungry like I need something to sustain me till dinner So i'm actually going to have one of my kind minis This box has the dark chocolate nuts and sea salt And the caramel almond sea salt. I think i'm going to do the dark chocolate one This is just the perfect little light snack and again I'm pairing this with about my fifth bottle of water. So i'm pretty proud of myself for that So we're having an easy dinner tonight just because we don't have anything pulled out or ready for the week So I have this chicken fried rice from Trader Joe's in my freezer I defrosted it a little bit and i'm going to pan fry that up And then I also have the gyoza pop stickers from Trader Joe's I'm going to steam these and that's what we're going to have for dinner tonight So i'm going to cook my fried rice in a skillet with some non-stick cooking spray And then I have my little pamper chef steamer basket I'm just going to throw this into the microwave and steam the pot stickers. This fried rice looks amazing I added a tiny bit of sesame oil Because I wanted to crisp up the rice the pot stickers are just about out of the microwave I'll plate up dinner and i'll be back to share points calories and macros. So here is dinner This looks absolutely delicious. I did do a couple tablespoons of the hoisin sauce I don't think that will even use maybe a tablespoon But I did put a couple tablespoons in a little bowl to dip the pot stickers in So all of the information for tonight's dinner is on the screen The flowers finally opened up. They are huge We saw two more closed bulbs and a little more hairy bulbs on there, but So pretty It is the end of the night and I need to get my second protein supplement in for the day If you follow me, you know that I have a pretty high protein goal to meet every single day And for me, that means having two protein supplements I have my protein coffee in the morning and then I either have a another protein coffee protein bar protein shake protein powder Something like that Set at some point during the day to get in my protein And one of my favorite things actually shared this in last week's what I eat in a day That I've been loving for dessert slash getting in the rest of my protein is to make my new favorite protein shake ever It's two ingredients. It's so easy. So I'm going to start with one cup of the fair life chocolate milk This is actually 140 calories but has 13 grams of protein So it's a little higher point little higher Calories, but it's legit chocolate milk and it's so good And then I mix in any of the clean simple eats protein powders I typically pick one that either has a vanilla or chocolate base This one's really good last time I did german chocolate cake. That was amazing and cookies and cream is also So good this combination together Million out of 10 and then all I do is throw all this in my neutral bowl It was some ice cubes blend it up and it's a literal Milk shake so I save calories points macros on fruit Like adding a frozen banana in if by using this chocolate milk So it ends up kind of being a wash calorically and I just like it a lot better So let's blend up a cookies and cream protein shake for dessert Why do you keep saying you heard it? I'll love you for the rest of my life Don't make me misunderstand Yeah Listen My heart is like a crow It's raining no matter what So that's a wrap on today's what I eat in a day on WW It was a very very busy day I am really proud of myself for getting right back on track really focusing on Whole real food today hitting my protein goals staying in my calories This is what vacation is all about go enjoy your vacation enjoy all the food around you in moderation Of course and when you come back you just get back to normal and any weight that you may have gained weight I say loosely because it's typically travel bloat and it's gone within a couple of days But any weight that you see increased on the scale generally goes away rather quickly if you just get back to your normal Routine so I'm actually excited to see what this week's weigh-in brings and like I said I had an amazing trip I feel really good being back on track back to my good Whole food I can't wait to stock up my house because we are running super low on groceries But overall everything I ate today was amazing and it was a very productive and effective day So if you enjoyed today's video, don't forget to give it a thumbs up Again subscribe if you're not because we do what I eat in a day every wednesday And I do upload five videos every single week Don't forget to check out the description box down below for nutrition coaching Links and discounts to everything I shared with you today the rye well map and all of the adorable adorable clothes from ecu are Definitely check it all out down below and come join my facebook group.

Hi, welcome to CCTV channel 17 live at 525 the preservation Burlington show Everybody welcome back. We've been on hiatus for a few months because of the holidays and the elections and stuff like that So it's really good to be back Preservation Burlington is a nonprofit 501c3 organization whose mission is to preserve and protect the historic architecture and livability of Burlington I'll memorize this one of these days Through education and advocacy, so the show is a big education component of that and I would like to like Thank David Colley for being here with me It just by way of background. I know that it was it two years ago that or I forget when we did the winter lube the first time This will be our third year this year So we started actually in the height of COVID with our first festival So we couldn't do quite everything was self-directed. Yep But yeah, it was three years ago our first one and that's when we met and we set up the table there Preservation Burlington we've teamed up on the the cemetery tours. Yeah, Greenmount Cemetery tour So we've done two of those which were very well attended. Yeah, very popular Yeah, we love doing those anyway, but anyway, thank you for coming on and doing the show My pleasure. We're gonna do the winter lube again this year Yep, we'll set up the tent and have our stuff and our swag and we'll you know, there'll be hot Coco, oh, we have I'll go through we we have lots of things planned this year So we'll give you some of the highlights as we go along here cool And we'll we'll push that towards the end right because I really want to I Want to thank you for sending me that PowerPoint that you've put together But tell us a little bit about the old east end. Everybody knows the old north end Everybody knows the new north end. Mm-hmm. Not everybody's heard about the old east end and I love your stickers. Yeah Well, you know, that's place names are funny because you know, what was a place name, you know 50 or 100 years ago may not be the place name today. I mean think about the old north end There was no old north end till there was a new north end And so that's as you know, I lived in this neighborhood the old east end for 30 years And it's a place where people really didn't know what the name of the neighborhood was and so when I retired about five years ago I got in touch with a guy named Jim Barr and he lives down on Chase Street and His family has been in that neighborhood for six generations. It goes back to the 1830s And he told me that his family has always referred to that neck of the woods as the old east end and It's had lots of names. So we'll talk about it I've got some slides that show, you know, where it is But you know for people that know Burlington as you travel down Colchester Avenue headed towards Winooski That is the old east end neighborhood and sometimes people think it's even part of Winooski because it's you know Some of the structures of the same the right across the river very similar right next to each other on similar similar histories there So That's why when we started researching it We realized there was unique things about this neighborhood as part of itself and unique to Burlington's history too So that's what that's what got us going on. So they got us going on it So is that what you how did you stumble on the like where was your first interest you retired? You had time on your hands. Yeah, and yeah, and it was really just take I was you know One of the great things about retirement is you get to go for walks and so I started doing walks I live fairly close to Greenmont Cemetery and in Greenmont Cemetery. We know is the Ethan Allen monument. Yeah Yeah, and lots of historic you know Headstones there and so that made me start thinking a little bit more I wanted to know the story about well What was the Allen connection to this neighborhood because I really didn't know that yeah, and and so then Began also in these walks looking at some of the structures and realizing that some of these and one that will take a look At goes all the way back to 1790 on Colchester Avenue. The building's still there today This is just a blacksmith shop. No, this is was called Ames Tavern and it was in 1790 this was the major route to Canada So it's as a tavern. That's where people would stop and you know spend the night get their refreshments and and move on over So while there's probably not very much Anywhere else in that in the vicinity, right? That was that was it actually there was a With a little bit more research it turned out there was two or three other taverns that popped up because it was a little bit of a Place where people congregated because you had to get across the river Yeah, but there was no bridge in the early days and so Ethan Allen's brother Ira Allen started a ferry at across the river to over to the Winooski side And of course that was called Colchester back then. Yeah, and so that's why that that was the connection that This road that it was Colchester Avenue didn't actually extend all the way down to the river As it does today because the bridge wasn't there It curved and that's what is what we call chase street today Okay, and the end of chase Street was where I around fairy crossed over to the Winooski River. Okay. Yeah All right. Well, um, do you do we just pulled up the old east end? So as we talked about where is the old east end? Yeah, it's it's that neighborhood It's it what makes it kind of unique is it juts out into the Winooski River there And the river is is coming in from the the right and going downstream makes this big bend there Everybody who's ever paddled knows that rivers on the inside curve are the most powerful And so that's why the mills were cited the mills were cited on both sides of the river But there was quite a few mills on the burlington side of the river because of the power of the river Taking advantage of that water power. Yeah. Yeah, so You know, that's that's where that that comes from. So this is a view Today now other parts of so what makes the whole neighborhood? Well Some of the original the way the properties were laid out back then they extended from the river Toward the downtown area and these properties You know were you know kind of ended about where east af is today So east af forms one boundary of the neighborhood and then the river forms the northern boundary of the neighborhood and You know approximately uh root 89 Is is it so it's a bit of a triangle Of this neighborhood and you know, we'll talk about some of the connections about how this property was Evolved and developed that made it, you know a common place. So yeah, it's You know, um, we all have heard that ira alan bought up all the land there Right and then so when you say these these plots were divided like that who who divided those plots up He was speculating right right when he bought the lots They were already lined up. So the original charter for burlington, of course was 1763 And the original layout of those lots happened then but he and his brothers ira and ethan and his other brothers formed The onion river land company and they not only bought that land They bought pretty much everything up and down the winewski river So as he uh came to the river and I think we've got a slide there. Yeah Actually one of the quotes from his his autobiography is he called this place that where the where the falls are And this part of the river the land that my soul delighted in And what that vision was was he saw enterprise here. He knew the falls were powerful He knew that the river goes out to the lake and that the lake feeds to canada And so he could see a whole enterprise, you know developing here before anybody saw it He saw a natural highway. He saw a natural highway and and business with canada and that was the only you know business in the area So he and his cousin remember baker Came to the falls in 1772. Wait, I have to say it. I remember remember baker. There you go. You can't forget They were he was cousin to uh, ethan alan and ira alan and um all connecticut boys, right Yeah, oh the litchfield. Yeah Area in fact many of the people we talk about that settled in this area all came from that area They knew each other from that area. So when you know the alans, you know, uh, Saw this as a big business opportunity. They sold it to their friends and they all came and you'll and people intermarried there were you know Sisters were marrying brothers and and all of that. So yeah, it was a tight knit group So they came in 1772 and burlington only had a couple of farms at that point that had been, you know, sold and settled So there was no it was still frontier. Yeah now His vision for this enterprise really Didn't get a chance to get developed They they built a block house and the block house wasn't really to protect them from the Native americans It was to prevent the the yorkers who were also claiming these lands at the same time So that was that was weren't they in the Wasn't the the yorkers. I remember seeing that at the ethan alan homestead. Yes I read did not like I mean, uh, yeah, ethan did not like the yorkers Oh, no, and then that what new hampshire was also laying claim to this area Well, that's with the the the alans had bought their claims and the the claims that were settled here were the new hampshire grants And so the yorkers also particularly in the south southern part of the state south western part of the state Started laying over Their claims as well they claim they owned everything to the connecticut river the yorkers did yeah, and so But they you know the alans that was the beginning of the green mountain boys Was to fight the claims of the yorkers and to try to kick them out. Yes, and that's what ira was doing here in wanouski In fact when they arrived in 1772 There was a yorker survey or party here that they Uh, they they waited for an ambush and they they they told them to leave town and chase them out. They chased them out Yeah, so there was these early things, but then everything went on hold For the revolutionary war because the british were coming down And they're you know, native american allies were were beginning to raid so everybody pulled back to the southern part of the state And this place stayed frontier until After the war and then ira came back in the about 1783 And that's when the real development of mills and all those things, you know started taking place He developed that ferry we talked about and those sorts of things. This is a representation of a map This was done by historian david blow and it kind of represents this part of the town In 1795 and as I talked about if you see the lower part of the picture There's today's cold chester avenue, but it curves into chase street because it's headed on down to the ferry You know to the left of the ferry there Ireland had built a dam and that was that's how they got the power for the more of the power that they needed Plus it created a mill pond behind the uh The dam so the ferry very a lot easier to operate there and so, uh, you know this Their first enterprise really was timbering and building rafts of logs that they could ship to canada And so that that was all being done in in this area at that time. So, um I'm cheating because we talked about this a little bit before we got on here But I see the name rolling place there And you just mentioned these rafts of logs and the timbering and we were talking about so there was so much tall timber here And basically it was called the rolling place because they cut the trees and would roll it down the hill This was behind green mount cemetery. It would roll down through what is today shaman'ska park out to the river and then You know flowed down over the falls and then they'd assemble those rafts really steep right there behind the cemetery Yeah, yeah, so that's and there are a lot of hills, you know up along Uh in the centennial woods area So it was it was all that lumbering that was taken. So that was their first enterprise Dump it into the river and then it would flow down. They would tie it all together Into rafts and big rafts. I mean big enough that they would put shanties on them And they had you know, they would also export like people were making potash and other exports going to canada They take all that up using as barges at the same time. It was kind of like a barge that they chip up there That's that's pretty interesting. Yeah, so There's an example of here's an example of one of those not their raft, but Something of the era that you might see Shipping the everything there. Well It was he had this great vision. Ira had this great vision of enterprise But it didn't always pan out. He was short on money. He was rich in land short in cash And a lot of times these they'd ship all these things to canada. They get them all the way to montreal And you know, they wouldn't get the the dollars that they thought they were going to get so the businesses started, you know He started going into a lot of debt So the interesting part of the story and how it relates to our neighborhood besides ethan alan, which you know, you know, ethan Died he moved to burlington. He lived here for a couple of years and which is the ethan alan homestead today And he died in 1789 that there's a Record of that funeral procession. So he he laid in state at ira alan's house in winewski The green mountain boys came it was supposed to be close to like 10 000 people And it was in february. So the river was frozen They marched across the river and up colchester avenue to the great to the cemetery And it was a cadence where they would stop every ten paces or so and fire a gun In honor of ethan alan, and then they would move on So the other interesting thing about the ethan alan monument is this this year july 4th Is the 150th anniversary of that monument monument. Yeah. Yeah, so we're thinking we're looking for partners Maybe we should put on do another.  Yeah. Yeah.  So we'll we'll take a look at that So What happened? I mean, you know businesses were starting to go down The rest of the alan brothers died off and ira was the ira and his brother Levi were the only brothers left But the families of the other brothers that died Said they had rights to the property that were bought by this company. And so They ended up suing ira alan to get some of this land now. This is late 1700s Yeah, this is about seven starting in 1795 and moving up to right around 1800 There was a number of court cases that took place over this One of the relatives that sued was a woman named lucinda alan and she was the daughter of heman alan and niece to ira alan She married a guy named moses catlin and the catlins Actually took ira alan's vision But by by winning the the case that they owned this property and the property that's the old east end The catlins took over that whole section where the the mills would be That was their land all the way up the hill including where mary fletcher hospital is You know the uvm hospital and what was mary fletcher. Everybody always thinks of that as being hospital hill But actually the first residents there were the catlin family and back then it was known as catlin hill The catlins were the ones that sold that property to the fletcher's to create the first hospital And these are some of the other dwellings that are in burlington that the You know one of the famous ones is the johnson house on Main street part of uvm. Well that house was originally a catlin house It was located on the corner of prospect and Um main street where the wheeler house is today. Yeah, it moved over to where the The morel building is and then it was transferred over here. So The catlins owned that house and so he had a brother. This was moses catlin and guy catlin They were the the real entrepreneurs Uh that made the mills work in in the early 18 1800s, okay, so this is a representative transition right from the the allen's to the k Right about that 1700s into the 1800s. Now is a new right new generation And actually ira allen sort of left the area in poverty in 1803 and he went to philadelphia And I remember reading about that. Yeah sort of bankrupted So one example of the this is this representation here is the mills right along the river that left side with the The circle around it is a group of buildings and was called the flowering mill So the first one there was an 18 I think 1813 and then floods fires they keep having to rebuild that that uh that mill on the corner But it by the late 1800s it looks something like this So this shot that you see is looking into wanouski. That would be the wanouski bridge And the building to the left over right there is the flowering mill. So this was shot in about 1880s One other note for this building just a little after this picture was taken The uh, they put in electric dynamo. It was the first municipal electric production in burlington and in vermont off the wanouski river off the wanouski river right there And uh, it was running electric trolleys that were going along riverside abbey So that was uh, that was one of its claims to the fame there, which we really want to go back to soon, right? Exactly, exactly. Yeah, we had we had a whole network of them. So, you know, that was these are just some more examples of old Buildings that are still there today But and I think that was the part that really intrigued me when I retired is just walking around all of a sudden really Wow, this is buildings from 1810 this building's from 1822. Yeah And what they were used for that the root what's labeled there is the rubenharman store is a domino's pizza Right on the corner there the blacksmith shop I remember seeing that at the design advisory board. Yeah, um, yeah And they did a lot of work and a lot of renovations in there. There's another restoration contractor. Did it? Yeah The gaming room is down there now, right the board room the board room. Yeah, yeah, and that was the building they raised Because after the flood they built a new road And it was it was only a one-story building at the time and then they they've raised it's actually three stories You see two above grade. Yeah, and then it goes one below grade there the hill. Yeah Yeah, and the tavern that I mentioned is that one at 411 Colchester Avenue. Yep, and uh, that That was one of the first taverns or one of that group of taverns that was sprang up That's the earliest one that we know of okay And edwin chase house on 21 chase street. Love that. That's uh, that's the home of jim bar the family who has Six generations living in the neighborhood. So it's got quite a bit there. So There's more to learn I mean so much. Yeah, there's so much to to dive into there And I know you know since I've been here about 25 years or so I've always ended up down in that neighborhood either working for folks or you know and It's just it's just fun the way it meanders and you know the roads It's not really a grid, you know, it's just kind of follows the lay of the land It did from the original roads And and you know the housing that really sprung up there A lot of it's from the late 1800s because that's when the mills took off. So the you know These were sort of small scale mills that the catlin family had so you might have 10 to 40 people But then when the large mill started the biggest mill one of the biggest mills came in in 1836 And then of course the civil war really increased the demand And so all that housing there was for workers, you know, for the for the big explosion big industrial area You know the industrial revolution was happening right there. Exactly. Exactly. We've got we've got a few more minutes. Um Let's see. This is okay. You've got this up. Let's talk about This is some of the things we've done. There's the green the tour of green mount cemetery. We're going to do an ira Ethan Allen thing now that we know that's coming up Um It was just a there's your sticker. I love that logo. Yeah, that's kind of a who did your logo One of the members of our group, uh, holly hickman. Uh, she's actually a professional and you know She does this as a profession, but she's a volunteer in our group and Just as she when she moved into the neighborhood she went around She said I need something that gives us a feel for the neighborhood But we did the survey of the neighborhood and we said that 90 of the people didn't know what the name was So we formed a group and it's called the old east end neighborhood coalition And you know we started sponsoring some of these events. We have a mural that's that's you know We put up and and doing the winter festival. Yeah, so Yeah, so we have a few minutes to talk about the yeah, let's let's let's get into that because that's coming up soon too Right, right. It's uh, it's going to be february third. Yeah, it's a friday evening So that's going to be five to seven. Yeah, and then the next day february fourth It goes from 10 to two. Yeah now it takes place in shamanica park And we try to have a whole slew of activities So we'll we'll talk about here to try to attract people down to the park But it's really a celebration. Is bernie really going to be there? We always get them to sit on the roof That's terrific. That's great That was the first year that that that meme was really pretty popular Right, right one of the first things we did we we have a really good working relationship with berlington Parks and recreation. Yep. Yep. And so we you know, we we got together with them saying can we do some things that try to decorate the barn Because there's a barn in this park and it's you know part of that original, you know farmland that was producing flower for the mill you know wheat and flour and So we we uh, we we put the lights on the barn We also make these lanterns that we decorate with vellum lanterns and they have these little led candles And they get lit all around the park. So that friday night we have a lot of illumination going on Yeah, we're trying to you know say it's winter, but let's bring some light into the really fun. It's a it's a great You know, it's a great time.  We have a very popular You know, we were able to get it get permits from the city for the fire So we keep that going we you know, so it's a nice place for people to congregate They bring the parks and recs brings a bunch of stuff like snow shoes and skis for folks to try out We have snowshoes skis sleds all for free, you know, it's in the park is really good for beginners because It's flat Yeah, and so we cut some trails to make it easier by the trees Come down a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, there's the ski slope. You know, we have refreshments. So there'll be hot cider You know hot chocolate, you know cookies and there'll be some chilies and things like that to munch on There's two groups that play so we have a sample to kata, which is a salsa band lots of rhythm You maybe remember that from last year and they come out. It's you know, last year it was 25 this year It's gonna be 15. It's gonna be cool cool out there.  We have that open. So it's a nice warming area We've got this nice in there. Yeah. Yeah, there's restroom in there if I remember there is there's two two restrooms in there We've been working with some of the seniors organizations and they're bringing some folks down Transporting them down and some of them are going to try out some of the skiing. So Yeah, that works turns out. But yeah, this was a couple shots of people just enjoying, you know being outside Yep in in a warm. Yeah and bonding and like you said the first year was covet So everybody was desperate to like interact and be in an outdoor safe space where you could like hang around You know just have fun. Yeah, you know, it's really good back out there. That was great. No, this is gonna be um We we've still got three minutes. So if you have more pictures, but I you know, I really Hopefully we're gonna do this again soon because I mean we've got so much to talk about and it's been really fun collaborating with you guys You know preservation burlington, you know, sometimes we feel like a little bit Sequestered over there, you know, either we're dealing with advocacy stuff We're trying to come up with like the next walking tour or something and to know that there's another group out there That's got the same interests You're doing all the heavy lifting for the history and you know and pulling events together It's really fun for us to I think there's a lot of opportunities to collaborate and what we keep finding every time We do these events is that people are always Really pleased, you know to learn about this and to participate in this and can we do more of this And people are saying can we do this in our neighborhood and and so it's it's great. It's it's something that's really You know been well received Yeah, yeah, we have to work together and we have to encourage the new northenders to get their group together I'm sure there's plenty of history out there too. Yeah, you know, there's this whole wave of development that happens You know and and people and that's the bigger thing You know people think of burlington they think of downtown and a little bit they think of the the old north end So the famous chunks of where the density is, you know, but but what you guys have brought to the table and all this research You've done it just shows. I mean it's Arguably our older history, you know, you're that's where burlington really started Well in some ways we try to pitch it as the birthplace of burlington Right But because of that attraction of the mills and the river that's where the enterprise started Long before the burlington waterfront got underway. Yeah those late 1800s You see the the lumber and then yeah, but prior to that it was starting up here in the river where it was a natural highway You know, yeah, that's pretty neat. Yeah, and there's some interesting stories Maybe another thing that we can think about for the future the black snake affair. Are you familiar with that? Oh, yeah That's that kind of took place in our neighborhood too with some of these same Characters the catlins were involved in that as well. So maybe the names familiar. Yeah Yeah, so we might explore that we have another show or two I think you know, I just again, thanks Dave for coming on My pleasure. I'm doing this. I'm really looking forward to to the winter loot. It's gonna be fun this year And it's it's free. We just encourage everybody to come out and enjoy the afternoon or the evening Yeah, yeah, it's great. And I'd like to thank everybody for tuning back in To cctv live at 525 the burlington preservation burlington for more information on burlington The history our tours and events or to get a marker for your historic house Go to preservation burlington.org And we'll pull up the um, you guys have a website too, right? I think it's on the screen right now There it is right now old east end btv dot com So you can go to those two places and learn about a lot of stuff and the things we're doing together Thanks everybody for tuning in


Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at the new to the US SAR SR 38357 double-action revolver with a six-inch barrel There are very few of these out right now a lot of sites are showing that it's coming in and they have a price on there That is very attractive. I don't know if that's gonna stick once they actually get it in But a stainless steel double-action revolver chamber and 357 magnum These are the first shots to single action is amazing. We'll start with the gun there Not bad for the 357 Wow like no recoil That's arms core by the way 158 grain Man, that's great And I missed my double-action Figures, but anyways here it is all steel for steel frame Barrel and cylinder it does rotate counterclockwise All right, but I mentioned the single-action trigger. This is really nice breaks right at four pounds And it just snaps down there. It does not have a transfer bar in there but it also has a Internal safety much like the Smith and Wesson models, but that single-action trigger is just so nice It feels like a two-pound trigger, but it's not it's four pounds on my trigger scale It has fully adjustable rear sights All right, so both elevation and windage tall ramped up front sight now if I had half a brain I would have painted my targets white, but I don't have half a brain so the site is Hard to pick up with Black targets, although they're getting kind of beat up so been a while since I've been here But a six inch barrel full solid under lug. It has a black crane ejector cylinder release Trigger and hammer beautiful looking revolver. Now the grip is rubber. It's got some decent texturing on there I'm not sure if I'll be able to find wood grips. I I set it on every table review I set it everywhere. I go. I want wood grips on stainless revolvers. It just makes a more traditional and Classy look it is branded all over here. It's a star USA right there Made in Turkey the planes Iowa Miami, Florida star USA over here SR 38 38 357 Serial number sorry, you know, whatever. It's a very nice revolver. Now that was 357 Magnum I just got done shooting the Rossi RP 63 the difference 30 in a quarter ounces with the RP 63 50 ounces with the SR 38 so big difference in recoil big difference in accuracy with a Barrel that's twice the size of the three inch RP 63 that I was just shooting Not five minutes ago, but anyways, those were my first shots Let me load it up and we'll try double action 357 Magnum loaded up. We'll go double action. We'll start with the center circle And then the rabbit nice the six inches Makes a difference You know people that shoot the snub nose. I have shot snub nose several times Accuracy is Kind of tough. I will just say for me anyways You have to practice this takes a lot of that practice away a little bit You know, you still have to get your rounds in and become proficient, but It's like night and day. It really is six inches makes a difference But overall nice revolver 38 special at about 50 ounce revolvers Like nothing and that should be it. All right SA SR 38 new to the US You may have seen sorry revolvers in the US. They were imported by TR imports They have a four inch barrel blue. Those are still around, but this one is new to the US I don't know if you have seen a range of you with it so far But if so, that's great. If not, I'm the first whatever nice overall revolver I think SAR is doing a great job with their handguns Even their little nine millimeter sub gun. I haven't tried that yet, but I really like this happy to have it I want wood grips. There's a back of it. So to get wood grips I would have to get the the kind that would screw on from the bottom perhaps Dan Wesson May work, but anyhow nice overall revolver says perform great at the range This was my first time out first round through it and I'm pretty happy with the SR 38 and 357 Magnum if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe


Welcome back to the final video on chi-square testing. So in this video, I'm going to show you how we can conduct a two-way chi-square test. And so our two-way chi-square test ends up looking a little different in terms of the null hypothesis. Essentially, we're looking at association instead of equal proportions. So what we're gonna do is we're going to do another card-based draw. And we're essentially gonna compare the suit to the chance of winning the game. And so our null hypothesis is that there's no association between the suit that you draw and the chance of winning the game of war, meaning the highest card wins. And our alternative is that there is an association. So I've already done some setup here to get our data in a way that we can use this two-way table. And so I'm using a new command called product. And then I'm using that to essentially build up this list of parentheses and then creating this data frame. And essentially what we're gonna do when I draw cards is that we're going to count, we're gonna draw two cards at once, and we're gonna count which one wins and record the suit. So we're gonna add a third column to this table and do some counting there. So here I've got it set up, table two count is going to be what we call it. And so we've got wins and losses here and I've separated out four things. So let's go ahead and draw. We'll probably do about 20 draws. So I'm just gonna draw the top two cards. And so I've got six of hearts and four of hearts here. So that means that hearts actually gets one loss and one win. And we're going to ignore any ties that we get. So then the next two cards, I have the nine of hearts and the queen of clubs. So that means hearts get a loss and clubs gets a win. Then I have a tie between two nines. So I'm just gonna ignore those. Then I have the nine of diamonds and the six of clubs. So that means clubs gets its first loss and diamonds gets its first win. Then I have king of clubs and five of spades. So clubs gets a second win and spades gets a loss. King of spades and six of spades. So that means spades gets a win and a loss. Four of diamonds and three of spades. So spades gets another loss and diamonds gets a win. Another time, queen of spades and 10 of spades. So again, win and a loss, a tie, two 10s. We've got an ace of clubs and an eight of hearts. So that means clubs gets a win and hearts gets a loss. An ace of hearts and a three of clubs. So hearts gets a win and clubs gets a loss. Ace of spades and eight of diamonds. So spades gets a win, diamonds gets a loss. And we will do one more draw. So a 10 of diamonds and a three of hearts. So diamonds gets a win and hearts gets a loss. And so what we're gonna do in the rest of this video is conduct a two-way chi square test to see if there's any association between the suit and the chance of winning. And so here we have our table just to show you what it looks like. We can run this. So now we have the suit, whether or not they won and the count of that situation happening. And so the first thing we need to do to conduct the two-way chi square test is we need to reorganize this using crosstab. So I'm gonna call this table three and I'm gonna say PD dot crosstab. We want to do table two of suit and table two of win with question mark. And then we want the values to be table two count. And then I'm going to specify that the add function is MP dot sum and that the margins are set to false. So we can print this and we can see that we've got essentially the wins, no and yes, and we've got the suit. And that's the format that we need our data to be in. Because then when we conduct the test, we can say results equals stats dot chi square this time underscore contingency. And then we just give it what we called our two-way table, table three, and we can print those results to show you what it looks like. So they give us the chi square statistic, they give us the p-value, the degrees of freedom and they give us what the expected frequency is. So a little bit more information that we see from the one-way chi square test. But if we just wanted to print the p-value, we can just say results one, which is this is the zero with point. So this is the first point. So we can print that and we can see that it's the same value, 0.57. And so we can draw a conclusion from that. We can say that the p-value is greater than our 0.05. So we either fail to reject or accept whichever one you prefer. The null hypothesis. So there is not sufficient evidence to say there is an association between suit and winning. In other words, our null hypothesis that we are accepting says there is no association. And so that is the conclusion that we make from this two-way chi-square test.
