JERSEY CITY – The Hudson Pride Connections Center will be presenting â€MAN/kind†in partnership with local mixed media artist and curator Ricardo Osmondo Francis from July 18, 2012 through August 31, 2012. “MAN/kind†features the works of several male artists who explore, redefine, and challenge the standard social definitions of masculinity. Throughout the ages, individuals within society have placed a premium on masculinity; therefore making it complicated for those of the “male†sex to live up to what is typically expected of them. Artists in this exhibit include: Jermaine D. Clark (photography), David Antonio Cruz (video), Ricardo Osmondo Francis (painting), Edwin Gonzalez-Ojeda (painting), Shaun El C. Leonardo (drawing and installation), Ricardo Louis (photography), Ivan Monforte (photography), Levan Mindiashivilli (painting), Cristian Tonhaiser (photography), and Mark Vinsun (painting). These artists investigate this complex subject matter in a variety of intriguing ways while expressing what masculinity means to them individually.

NY NJ Car Service in Kearny Saves the Day for Frantic NJ Traveler – a thank you note from her mother
Marci Groden-Â Mother and Columnist
Things like this happen, our daughter Annie had scheduled  to leave on a much-needed  vacation. She was leaving for Spain and that is all she talked about for weeks. Carefully she had planned for every detail on her own. Hotel reservations, airline reservations, tours and she had planned on driving her self to the airport. So everything was a go.
Recently divorced this was a trip of a lifetime for her  and a trip to prove to herself that she could make it on her own. She was so excited and so was my husband George and I for her.
We live in Atlanta Georgia, where I write for a community paper, my husband George and I were going to watch our two grandchildren. Our x- son -in- law Danny an  important IT person was  also going out-of-town on business and so he and my daughter Annie  asked George and I  if  we wouldn’t mind watching the kids. Of course we jumped at the chance.
Our flight was to land four hours after our daughter left on her flight, and Danny our x- son-in-law would be with the children when we arrived at his home.
Our flight landed perfectly and we arrived at Danny’s home. When we got there he said “Marci you and George missed all the action this morning.” Is Annie OK ? Did she leave on time. I asked.  Well yes, and no , Danny continued,  Annie was leaving the house to drive to the airport and found she had a flat tire. You know Annie, how many times did I try to teach her to fix a flat. My husband looked pained because he knew he would be the one to fix  the flat. Danny continued, Annie began calling the one cab company in her town and they said it would be an hour wait so she called me frantic and  I said “Call this company in Kearny that I use on occasion they will help you no mater what -their reliable NY NJ Car Service she did and they got there in 25 minutes with  a Town Car to pick her up.” My husband and I became happy at the news that our  Annie got to the airport on time.
