Shouting & Whispering
This is Adam's Moss' take on New York magazine covers. It's interesting that they feel like they can be more creative, since they don't rely on newsstand sales. I like that they're trying to experiment.

New Yorkier
The nationally branded version of "the late sixties" may have been mainly about flowers and sunshine, but the New York edition was edgy, even grisly, always embedded with the imagination of disaster—that is, New Yorkier. Elsewhere the new romantics were escapists, dreaming of Arcadia; here, the model was more Weimar Republic, a dystopian Utopia.
—Kurt Anderson, "Boom-Bust-Boom Town," from New York magazine's 40th Anniversary Issue, Oct. 6, 2008
And because the cover of that issue and New York's first cover remind me of two of my favorite New York pictures that I've used a lot, I'm adding them here again:

Bits: MTA Fare Hike, Kayaking to New Zealand, Night-time Appalachian Trail and old-school NY Mag.
1.
"Don't Rush to a Fare Hike," Editorial by the New York Times
All this talk about yet again another fare hike makes me think back on the holiday discount program where discounted rides were given over the holiday weekends and extended 30-Metrocards by ten days from Thanksgiving to New Year's. If the MTA was so hard-pressed for money, why in the world did they do that?

"Kayakers begin Tasman Sea attempt" by Phil Mercer, from the BBC
So these guys, Justin Jones and James Castrission, are kayaking (in a custom-built kayak) from Sydney, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand. They're setting off now and hope to reach New Zealand by Christmas.
The article makes no mentions of where they plan to stop, though they expect to paddle for 14 hours a day.
Jones said,
"First and foremost [the trip] is for the pure adventure of it all. I mean, everybody, inside anyone has got a little bit of adventure in them and we've just got to go out and follow that. It would be a crime not to."
He might be my new boyfriend now. Oh, adventures...

"What's Lurking in the Dark?" by David A. Fahrenthold, from the Washington Post
Over the summer, Hannah and I stayed up late, enjoying ourselves and talking about things we wanted to do.
"Let's go hiking!" Hannah said. "Let's walk the Appalachian Trail!"
After looking at pictures on her laptop, we sent Rob an email about it. We never did it, though, due to scheduling. But this article reminds me about it.
So they set up cameras along the trail in Virginia to check out night-time critters (which I now know includes deer, thank you, Josh). The Appalachian is home to those deer, bears, bobcats and a flying squirrel.
Volunteer Trish Bartholomew said of bears backing into the cameras:
"I don't know of anything else that's that black and furry."
