Nope, it's not a pair of diamond encrusted Air Jordan's on sale today.  The man himself has put his Chicago home up for sale today, for a hefty $29 million.  The 56,000 square foot kingdom includes nine bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, five fireplaces, a 3 bedroom guesthouse, pool, tennis courts, and climate controlled garages. Missing something?  Of course, he's got a state of the art, full sized basketball court.  His court has cushioned hard wood flooring, high intensity lighting, and a sound system created to perfectly compliment the acoustics of the court.

August Didn't Like July, So February Got Shortened - Happy Leap Year!

If you're anything like me, you may not always notice the extra day - or, it may be an added bonus because month end always gets so busy!  It's one of those things, like daylight savings time, that no one really questions why it's so, or how it came about.  So, I did a little research to see exactly why today is today:

Wikipedia says:

A leap year (or intercalary or bissextile year) is a year containing one additional day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year.^[1] Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, a calendar that had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year.

That's cool, a little technical, but gives an astronomical explanation.  I wanted to know why February, how long ago, etc...  Then, I found this awesome piece done by BBC News - I love the part about Caesar Augustus and Julius Caesar!

Leap year: 10 things about 29 February

The "leap day" of 29 February exists for purely astronomical reasons, but has always prompted less scientific curiosities.

Here are 10 things to consider - for one day only. Until 2016, that is.

1. The leap year's extra day is necessary because of the "messiness" of our Solar System. One Earth year (a complete orbit around the Sun) does not take an exact number of whole days (one complete spin of the Earth on its axis). In fact, it takes 365.2422 days, give or take.

2. Until Julius Caesar came to power, people observed a 355-day calendar - with an extra 22-day month every two years. But it was a convoluted solution to the problem and feast days began sliding into different seasons. So Caesar ordered his astronomer, Sosigenes, to simplify things. Sosigenes opted for the 365-day year with an extra day every four years to scoop up the extra hours. This is how the 29 February was born. It was then fine-tuned by Pope Gregory XIII (see below).

3. Every fourth year is a leap year, as a rule of thumb. But that's not the end of the story. A year that is divisible by 100, but not by 400, is not. So 2000 was a leap year, as was 1600. But 1700, 1800 and 1900 are not leap years. "It seems a bit arbitrary," says Ian Stewart, emeritus professor of mathematics at Warwick University. But there's a good reason behind it.

"The year is 365 days and a quarter long - but not exactly. If it was exactly, then you could say it was every four years. But it is very slightly less." The answer arrived at by Pope Gregory XIII and his astronomers when they introduced the Gregorian calendar in 1582, was to lose three leap days every 400 years. The maths has hung together ever since. It will need to be rethought in about 10,000 years' time, Stewart warns. But by then mankind might have come up with a new system.

4. Why is February 29, not February 31, a leap year day? All the other months have 30 or 31 days, but February suffered from the ego of Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus, says Stewart. Under Julius Caesar, February had 30 days, but when Caesar Augustus was emperor he was peeved that his month - August - had only 29 days, whereas the month named after his predecessor Julius - July - had 31. "He pinched a couple of days for August to make it the same as July. And it was poor old February that lost out," says Prof Stewart.

5. The tradition of a woman proposing on a leap year has been attributed to various historical figures. One, although much disputed, was St Bridget in the 5th Century. She is said to have complained to St Patrick that women had to wait too long for their suitors to propose. St Patrick then supposedly gave women a single day in a leap year to pop the question - the last day of the shortest month. Another popular story is that Queen Margaret of Scotland brought in a law setting fines for men who turned down marriage proposals put by women on a leap year. Sceptics have pointed out that Margaret was five years old at the time and living far away in Norway. The tradition is not thought to have become commonplace until the 19th Century.

It is believed that the right of every woman to propose on this day goes back to the times when the leap year day was not recognised by English law. It was believed that if the day had no legal status, it was acceptable to break with tradition.

6. A prayer has been written by a female cleric for people planning a leap year day marriage proposal. The prayer, for 29 February, asks for blessings on the engaged couple. It reminds them that wedding plans should not overtake preparations for a lifetime together. The prayer has been taken from Pocket Prayers of Blessing by the Venerable Jan McFarlane, Archdeacon of Norwich:

"God of love, please bless N and N as they prepare for the commitment of marriage. May the plans for the wedding not overtake the more important preparation for their lifetime together. Please bless their family and friends as they prepare for this special day and may your blessing be upon them now and always. Amen."

7. The practice of women proposing in a leap year is different around the world. In Denmark, it is not supposed to be 29 but 24 February, which hails back to the time of Julius Caesar. A refusal to marry by Danish men means they must give the woman 12 pairs of gloves. In Finland, it is not gloves but fabric for a skirt and in Greece, marriage in a leap year is considered unlucky, leading many couples to avoid it.

8. The chance of being born on a leap day is often said to be one in 1,461. Four years is 1,460 days and adding one for the leap year you have 1,461. So, odds of 1/1,461.

But Stewart points out that is very slightly out, owing to the loss of the three leap years every 400 years. In any case, babies are more likely to be born at certain times of the year rather than others, due to a range of other factors, he says. Babies born on 29 February are known as "leapers" or "leaplings".

9. Other calendars apart from the Gregorian require leap years. The modern Iranian calendar is a solar calendar with eight leap days inserted into a 33-year cycle. The Indian National Calendar and the Revised Bangla Calendar of Bangladesh arrange their leap years so that the leap day is always close to 29 February in the Gregorian calendar.

10. Explorer Christopher Columbus used the lunar eclipse of 29 February 1504 to his advantage during his final trip to the West Indies. After several months of being stranded with his crew on the island of Jamaica, relations with the indigenous population broke down and they refused to continue helping with food and provisions. Columbus, knowing a lunar eclipse was due, consulted his almanac and then gathered the native chiefs on 29 February. He told that God was to punish them by painting the Moon red. During the eclipse, he said that God would withdraw the punishment if they starting co-operating again. The panicked chiefs agreed and the Moon began emerging from its shadow.

Also of a supernatural nature, on 29 February 1692 the first warrants were issued in the Salem witchcraft trials in Massachusetts.

Massey Tower - Heart of the City

Mod Development's Massey Tower Condos is a really exciting project, that is long overdue.  This fusion project is restoring the beauty of classic Toronto, and combining it with the finesse of modern day Toronto.  This eclectic architectural style combines a heritage and post-modern look often found in New York.  The location is amazing, and there will be path access to maximize this.  The layouts will be great because of the shape of the building, and the price point will reflect the building, location, and calibre.


Here's a great article about the project

MOD Developments 60-storey Massey Tower to include restoration of 1905 Toronto Bank

TORONTO

MOD Developments Inc. expects to break ground in 2013 on an ambitious project in downtown Toronto that will include restoration of a portion of a historic bank building and construction of a 60-storey mixed-use development.

The project will be constructed on a 20,000-square-foot site on Yonge Street that houses the historically designated Canadian Bank of Commerce Building, designed by Darling & Pearson Architects in 1905. The building has been vacant since 1987.

MOD plans to completely restore the four-storey portion of the bank and erect a mixed-used development to be named Massey Tower. The project will be constructed by Tucker Hi-Rise Construction Ltd. Cost estimates have not been released.

“Our tower is very tricky,” said Gary Switzer, president and CEO of MOD. “It’s almost like being surgically inserted into the block. It’s probably the most challenging project I’ve worked on.”

Designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects, the soaring Massey Tower will feature retail, residential and non-residential uses.

The project team includes heritage consultants E.R.A. Architects, interior designers Cecconi Simone Interiors and landscape architects Janet Rosenberg and Associates.

A spokesperson for the developers said “considerable” work has been done to date on the design. A rezoning application has been submitted to the city.

“When you’re working on an intricate site such as this one, flanked by some of Toronto’s finest heritage buildings, you need the best team of consultants to create a development worthy of its surroundings,” Switzer said.

MOD is donating a portion of the recently purchased theatre block site fronting on Victoria Street to Massey Hall.

“The proposed gift of this key portion of land at the south of Massey Hall is an incredibly exciting development for the Hall and for the city of Toronto,” said Charles Cutts, President and CEO of the Corporation of Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall.

“It presents us with multiple options to revitalize Massey Hall and we’ll be studying them closely in the coming months.”

James Robinson, executive director of the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Association, said his organization is “very excited” about the restoration of the heritage landmark at 197 Yonge Street by MOD.

“This section of Yonge Street is such an important destination for theatre, music and retail – to see this historic property revitalized will continue to add to the vibrancy of Yonge Street.”

The plans for 197-201 Yonge continue MOD’s tradition of restoring heritage buildings and incorporating them into new developments. MOD’s most recent project, FIVE Condos at 5 St. Joseph, developed in conjunction with Graywood Developments Ltd., is now under construction.

The project will see the restoration of almost half a block of the 19th century Yonge Street stores and the retention of the façade of the massive, four-storey gothic-revival Rawlinson warehouse on St. Joseph Street. FIVE garnered four top awards at the 2011 BILD Awards, including Project of the Year and Highrise Design of the Year.

“We believe strongly in the value that restored heritage buildings bring to a neighborhood,” Switzer said.

“Our development on the theatre block will raise the bar even higher in terms of city-building, architectural design and historic preservation.”

MOD Developments Inc. was founded in 2009 by Switzer, who was the former head of high-rise developments for Great Gulf Homes.

Wonderful Birthday Gift!

Thank you all for your wonderful wishes, and kind words.  I am so blessed to have such amazing friends and family.

Join Me In Wishing Showtime A Happy Birthday!

Hi all!  My name is Maya, and I'm Kenny's assistant.  I hacked into his blog today (crossing my fingers that he won't get mad!), because I thought it would be nice to have a little online toast/roast to him for his birthday.

If you know Kenny well, you are as blessed as I am.  He has one of the kindest hearts that I've ever come across.  He will do anything for a friend, and will do anything to make someone laugh.  The thing with Kenny is though, is that he has no acquaintances, colleagues, or associates.  Kenny has friends.  When we first started working together, we were working on organizing his database.  We started classifying the thousands of people in his lists, and when we got to about the hundredth name, I realized something - we were putting everyone in the friends group.  So, I started asking him how he knew these friends, "oh, they're past clients", "oh, they're another realtor", "oh, that's my client's mom", "oh, that's my favourite waiter at the dim sum place".  He makes friends with everyone he meets, and people just gravitate to him.

Happy Birthday, Kenny - live, laugh, love, sing, and dance!
