From Nazi war machines to test pilots to the planes of the future, this is an all-encompassing look at JET ENGINES.
They debuted in the waning days of World War II, as a stunning new fighter plane arrived too late to help the Nazi cause. In the half century since then, they have revolutionized transportation and brought the world closer together.
MODERN MARVELSTM uses extensive footage, computer animation and interviews with pilots, scientists and industry insiders to tell the powerful story of JET ENGINES. From the secret Nazi attempts to develop a revolutionary weapon to the Stealth fighter and beyond, the program introduces the men and technology that have pushed the jet ever forward. Visit the famed ?Skunkworks? at Lockheed Martin, where America?s first jet was developed, and get a behind-the-scenes look at famous jets like the U-2 spy plane and the brand new F-22 fighter. Witness some of aviation?s most historic moments, and get a glimpse of what the future holds for this workhorse of the modern world.

Stevens & Williams
English, est. 1847
Vase, c. 1875
39 x 15 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mrs. Agnes M. Benidickson
The glass factory of Stevens & Williams was one of the most notable of the Stourbridge glasshouses, an area of concentrated glass-making due to the ready availability of coal and other natural resources needed for firing glass. This beautiful example of cameo glass dates from a period of significant creative innovation, when the factory was under the artistic direction of John Northwood (1836–1902) and employed designer Frederick Carder (1863–1963). Northwood is credited with reintroducing to Britain the glass-making techniques of ancient Greece and Rome, specifically that of cameo glass. Upon leaving the factory in 1902, Carder went on to establish the Steuben Glass Company in Corning, New York. This vase, with white glass layered over turquoise, features excellent carving and shading. The naturalistic design elements relate to the stylizations of Art Nouveau.

Match report
To follow all the Barclays Premier League action, go to our new Carlsberg Live Match Centre at live.premierleague.com
For match photos, click on PHOTOSTREAM above left. Manager reaction below.
Emmanuel Adebayor scored twice as Tottenham Hotspur beat Newcastle United 4-0 to boost their Champions League qualification hopes.
The Togo striker took his tally for the season to nine goals in all competitions as Spurs won on the road for the ninth time in the Barclays Premier League this season.
Adebayor, who only managed eight goals in the whole of last season, scored an early tap-in and added the third late on after he had set up Paulinho for the second.
Nacer Chadli completed the rout with a superb strike two minutes from time to hand Newcastle a fourth straight home league defeat without scoring.
The victory keeps Tim Sherwood's side in the hunt for fourth spot as Spurs seek a return to Europe's premier club competition.
It was the visitors who made the brighter start and after four minutes Moussa Dembele muscled past David Santon on the right to find Adebayor, whose shot was deflected for a corner.
Papiss Cisse, making his first start for the home side in four months, then fired his close-range strike straight at Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Loris.
Adebayor broke the deadlock after 19 minutes with a simple finish from six yards after Magpies goalkeeper Tim Krul failed to hold Nabil Bentaleb's cross from the left.
Sammy Ameobi tried to force an equaliser with a great run and shot through the middle but strong defending from Younes Kaboul stopped him in his tracks.
Tottenham almost increased their advantage when Kyle Walker whipped a dangerous ball in from the right but the Newcastle defence crowded Aaron Lennon out of the box.
Lennon almost scored Tottenham's second before the break when he cut in from the right and unleashed a shot that beat Krul but hit the bottom of his right-hand post.
Seven minutes after the restart Paulinho followed up, after Adebayor's shot was saved, to convert Tottenham's second and underline their dominance.
Newcastle introduced Hatem Ben Arfa from the bench and started to get a grip on the match after 65 minutes as Paul Dummett fizzed a shot just past Lloris' goal.
But Adebayor clinched his second of the game when he knocked his shot into the ground and over the head of Krul with eight minutes left.
Chadli saved the best until last, curling home from distance to cap an excellent display from Sherwood's charges.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew: "I was more upset about the performance. That wasn't an honest display from us.
"I mentioned a few things in the dressing room that I hope hits home - I won't mention them to the media. Tottenham dominated proceedings from the start to the finish. They won with a bit to spare - that shouldn't happen at St James' Park regardless of who I have and don't have available.
"We lacked confidence tonight and we need a break in front of goal - their keeper made two or three outstanding saves. The overall performance is a concern, it's not the result or the fact we haven't scored."
Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood: "I'm a perfectionist. There was a spell at start of the second half when Hugo [Lloris] had to pull off some saves.
"I've been critical of the way we've started matches, but not today.
"The boys looked sharp from the start. We've got to keep on the tail of Liverpool - they are relentless. I hope they keep on checking over their shoulders and see Spurs are still there."

My son has moved into his first house and I sent the Penguins wastebasket as a fun house warming gift! He indicated it arrived bent and with a hole in it....not the reaction I had wanted/expected. The hassle factor of returning for him is too high so he will use it as it is "funnctional"...but net I am disappointed and had it been an item shipped to me I would be returning.

If not for the brown eyes instead of blue, she'd make a really good Maerad! I picture Maerad as having a bit of a longer face, though, and not as large-eyed as this girl, but still, a pretty decent match.

Hey, I know this book!
Anyway, yeah, she could be Maerad.
She's pretty, and quite innocent looking too.

I know I'm new here, but wouldn't it be just as important for whatever actress chosen, should there ever be a film to be able to play lyre or harp as well as look and act the part? As they can be difficult to learn, for some people, and would have to be played well, in order to portray the character accurately.

Yea... SS' right. Ultimately, it would all depend upon the way they use the cameras. If it were only for the singing, however, we could've got a Broadway actress or two.

This is a really good list! i voted for four people. I'm a little confused about why Rachael McAdams is on it though..
I think Anna Popplewell is another possibility too

They have only been team-mates for a few weeks, but Sergio Perez feels he is already benefitting from having an experienced driver like Jenson Button alongside him.
The 23-year-old Perez is teaming up with the 2009 World Champion at Woking this season after swapping Sauber for McLaren. While the 2013 campaign will be the Mexican's third year in Formula One, this season will mark Button's 13th on the grid.
Perez admits he has picked up several things from his new team-mate in recent weeks.
"I'm very lucky driver to have a champion next to me as well as such a good guy," he is quoted as saying by ESPNF1.
"We are working so well together and I've been learning so much from him in my short [McLaren] career. Definitely the pressure is there, the team expects a lot from me and I expect the same; I want to go out there and win the Championship and fight everybody.
"I will work together with Jenson to learn a lot from him and I think we are doing very well."
Perez got his first taste of the new McLaren MP4-28 during the pre-season test at Jerez last week and he admits he still has several things he need to adapt to at his new team.
"The procedures are very different and the way the car works," he added. "It's basically like learning how to set up a car with different tools.
"This is quite difficult because every team has different strategies on the steering wheel and not everyone speaks the same on the radio. That is something new for me but that is very good as well."

It is the eve of the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament. I'm not going to call it a sports event. I guess outwardly, it literally is. But it's not at it's core, it's more
It's the chance. It's everything loved rolled into one event. 64 teams from all over the country come together for a chance to win it all. It has drama, villains, underdogs, and in the end provides great theater on many stages all over our country. Not many opportunities in real life where the very small, and the very big commune together for the exact same chance.
Remember the first time younger brother beat older brother in something in the backyard? Man, I do. I am the little brother. The family takes great joy in finally seeing the little guy break through. It's joy beyond belief for one, and heartbreak for the other, or in other words, real life. And it's memory burn for both. Or when you finally score higher than dad at bowling, or lower than him at golf. Those moments, though viciously bittersweet for each, in the end, and up the line are soul nourishing for all.
That is what this event truly embodies. The chance to see something we almost never see, the diminutive one being more than he really is. Defying odds, and the Gods attempting in some cases to do the impossible. We our helpless but to watch this ordeal, as that ideal is woven in our societal fabric as tightly as any one thing can be.
The NCAA breaks ratings and revenue records every year, so it's not just a bunch of dudes eating ribs watching endlessly in the basement for hours on end. Although that does happen. It captures all of us at one time or another, when Cinderella is trying to send Goliath home, and move on. Because it's one and done. You lose, and you exit, and we like that too. Even those who won't watch a single basketball game all year long will be glued when that drama presents itself.
That is what is the first weekend of this event is. Little guy/big guy. It's the chance. And this weekend is far more alluring than the ones to follow. This is when FGCU (real school), Bucknell, South Dakota State and Akron get a chance at real stardom. And when they are up 2 with 2 minutes to play, and "The Giant" is on the ropes, it's pure magic and the Zips are suddenly playing a home game - in Michigan. And luckily for us, it has nothing to do with sports, basketball, or a game.
It has everything to do with all we can ever ask for. The Chance.

SUSSEX, Va. (AP) - Opponents of Virginia's proposal to use toll revenue to improve Interstate 95 plan to rally outside a public hearing.
The rally is set for Monday night at Sussex High School before the hearing. Among the scheduled speakers at the rally are the mayors of Emporia and Stony Creek and state Del. Roslyn Tyler, D-Greensville.
The Federal Highway Administration is reviewing the state's application to place tolls on I-95.

text: 4 My Personal OpinionJassyM | 02/11/2010 | See all JassyM's reviews (3)Having watched the Blu-ray discs (what a marathon!), as well as catching it on television when it came out, I have to say that it was enjoyable, but different to Band of Brothers in a good way. I thought that the picture was on the whole sharp (although there were times where it was not a rock steady and clear as I would expect), and the sound immense with a wonderfully taut sound field. Good acting and great scenes - if you have BofB, get this as well.

If your organization performs work that involves sharing documents or collaborating directly with vendors, clients, or customers, then you might want to use the external sharing features of SharePoint Online to share content with people outside your organization who do not have licenses for your Microsoft Office 365 subscription.
There are three ways that you can do this:
Note Your global administrator must enable external sharing and set the appropriate permissions before you can share sites or documents. See Manage external sharing for your SharePoint online environment for more information.
An external user is someone outside of your organization who can access your SharePoint Online sites and documents but does not have a license for your SharePoint Online or Microsoft Office 365 subscription. External users are not employees, contractors, or onsite agents for you or your affiliates.
External users inherit the use rights of the SharePoint Online customer who is inviting them to collaborate. That is, if an organization purchases an E3 Enterprise plan, and builds a site that uses enterprise features, the external user is granted rights to use and/or view the enterprise features within the site collection they are invited to. While external users can be invited as extended project members to perform a full range of actions on a site, they will not have the exact same capabilities as a full, paid, licensed member within your organization. See Manage external sharing for your SharePoint online environment for more information.
Top of Page
When you share a site with external users, you send them an invitation that they can use to log in to your site. You can send this invitation to any email address. When the recipient accepts the invitation, they log in using either a Microsoft account or an Office 365 user ID. When you share a site, you can select the type of permissions you want that person to have on the site.
You need to be a Site Owner or have full control permissions to share a site with external users.
By default, any invitations you send to external users will expire in 7 days. If an invitee does not accept the invitation within 7 days, and you still want that person to have access to your site, you'll need to send a new invitation.
When the external users receive their invitations, they click a button that takes them to a page where they sign into your SharePoint Online site by using a Microsoft account or an Office 365 user ID. If users don't have at least a Microsoft account, they can sign up for a free Microsoft account.
You can create an anonymous guest link, and then share the link using whatever media suits you. For example, post it on a social media page, or paste it into an email. You can create a guest link that provides editing permission or only viewing permission.
You must be a Site Owner or have full control permissions to share a document with external users. Additionally, the external sharing feature must be turned on in either the Office 365 Service Settings or the SharePoint Online admin center (depending on which plan you have).

For some reason I had a harder time with turning 41 than 40. I've been down all day. Plus we drove by the house I grew up in and there's a for sale side in the yard. I was hoping that when my aunt passed away last month that it was going to stay with her boys. Guess not. It broke my heart.
Anyway, that's it for my pity party. I just had to vent.

Awst 2009
Last day of the festival
Festival of British Archaeology 2009
So the festival ended. After two weeks of almost continuous events across three of Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales's sites. And the best was definitely saved until last.
With fine weather throughout the day The Vicus put on a fantastic show. They performed a Roman funeral ceremony in the centre of St Fagans before a crowd of two to three hundred people. A young lady played the recently departed and two gladiators fought for her.
Then the mourners processed to the funeral pyre, an impressive timber platform around which more rituals were performed, and where the young lady was substituted for a pig.
There followed tense moments for the organizers. It's easy to schedule a cremation ritual, and building the pyre wasn't too challenging, but with all the wet weather the day before, would it light? With a hundred and fifty people watching as a fire brand was thrust into the middle of the pyre, a fizzle would not have looked good.
But good fortune smiled and the pyre lit, smoking heavily before the flames spread. The grave goods on the pyre were quickly burnt or broken, with one glass bottle melting in the heat.
It burnt for the rest of the afternoon, until by closing time on the site there was just a bed of ash with the unburnt back of the pig resting on top. By next morning almost all of this had burnt away and we set about recovering the cremated bones and the grave goods for further analysis.
Cremated remains are common finds from the Bronze Age and Roman periods and our work here will go some way to helping interpret these finds when they come up in future. So a great spectacle and a useful source of data.
A big day in the Celtic Village
Festival of British Archaeology 2009
This weekend is the grand finale of the Festival events, and it started dreadfully. Torrential rain all night and no let-up until eleven o'clock, but much happened before then.
First thing in the morning The Vicus, anamazing Iron Age / Roman re-enactment group, arrived in force and took over our Celtic Village and the grounds around it. Our wood shelter became an armoury, the roundhouses were taken over for cooking and crafts, and outside the village our old furnace was fired up and used to smelt iron ore.
Things really got under way once the rain had cleared and the ground started to dry. Then it was a continuous stream of visitors for the rest of the day.
For me the highlights were:
- the trimmed down combat display where the Vicus's British warriors and Roman soldiers showed off their equipment and demonstrated the various merits of a range of spears. It was a trimmed down display because the rain had left things too wet underfoot for full-scale combat. But the forecast is good for the rest of the weekend, so tomorrow's performance should be the full extravaganza.
- watching the bloom come out of the furnace around 4:30. The Vicus's blacksmith has yet to pass judgement on the results, but they certainly looked pretty good. And when one considers that things only really got started around midday they seemed almost miraculous.
So tomorrow is the big one. In the Celtic Village we have a repeat of all of the above (with bronze casting substituted for iron smelting), and the festival will be brought to a show-stopping conclusion with a reenactment of a Roman cremation cemetery. Fingers crossed the weather stays with us.

For many, New Year's Day is a time to recover from the holidays, but others took advantage of their last day off by hitting the slopes, at ski resorts throughout New York State, including Greek Peak. And as our Candace Hopkins reports, they were a welcome sight, as the resort tries to bounce back after declaring bankruptcy last year.
CORTLAND COUNTY, N.Y. -- Despite the frigid temperatures, many skiers and riders hit the slopes Tuesday night, taking advantage of the last day before heading back to work and school.
"Today was just one of those days when I knew I needed to get out here, so I made the effort, and I'm here, and I had a great day," said skier Thomas Mitchell.
Greek Peek opened up on December 1st. Staff say after last year's weak ski season this year couldn't come fast enough.
"The skiers and boarders have had some pent up demand, after a year like last year, to get any kind of snowfall, they were really excited to get out on the slopes," said Greek Peak's Vice President of Operations Wesley Kryger.
Greek Peak staff welcomed last week's snowstorm with open arms. They got about 18 inches, and they say that snow immediately reignited their customers desires to get back on the slopes.
"The best advertising that there is, is Mother Nature putting a couple inches of snow in people's backyard and then they remember that they enjoy skiing and riding, and that there is snow at the mountain and they come out and enjoy," said Kryger.
Resorts make about one third of their profits for the entire season during winter vacation. And this year Greek Peak needs to have an especially strong season, after filing for Chapter Eleven bankruptcy last year.
"With the re-organization we continue to work with the FDIC to come up with solutions to the re-organization, so we're working together so hopefully by springtime we'll have a solution but it is a process," said Kryger.
In the meantime, nearly all of Greek Peak's trails and lifts are open, and conditions are ideal, putting the resort on the right track.

I have never smelt a cream so wonderful in all of my life. I have been a Massage Therapist for over 17 years, so I have used a lot of different lotions over the years and this is the finest scent I have ever used. I would highly recommend this scent to everyone.
I have dry skin and this made me even dryer and caused exzema all over where i used it. I never had had exzema before so when i went to dermatologist i thought it was something I had eaten...i stopped using it for a week went back to it using it just on my feet and i got really bad exzema again. I would NOT reccomend this product.
This product smells so heavenly! My female clients love it! I love smelling the aroma scent this product gives! I recommend his product to everyone! :)
This cream smells wonderful & has a nice consistency but becomes sticky when used for a facial massage. For this reason I would not order it again.
I purchased Keyano Champagne & Rose Butter Along with the Chocolate Butter Cream. EXCELLENT smell and very creamy however, when applying it it builds up on the skin. You will NOT get a good glide from these product. If your going to use this product for a full body massage I highly suggest you a few drops of oil.

text: 5 Seriously intense!GreenhillZone | 07/06/2010 | See all GreenhillZone's reviews (8)This is quite frankly the most awesome racer i've played in a long time. Racing games by their very nature can be frantic affairs anyway as you jostle for position to finish first but when you add to this the added dimension of destruction and mayhem that this game brings, it mounts up to one seriously awesome game. Some of the larger powerplays where you wreck havoc on your opponents are simply incredible and the feeling of satisfaction when you wipe out 5 other drivers in one go is immensely satisfying. Of course anything you can do to them, they can also do to you so you can't relax not even for a split second (no pun intended!) I've seen some silly comments on here with regards to the handling and speed of the cars. I can only assume that this is based on the one car in the demo as some of the more powerful cars you unlock as you progress in this game are seriously quick with really tight, nimble handling. Special mention as well must go the graphics on this game which are absolutely superb and among the best i've seen this generation. It really does look that good at times especially when you're using the bumper cam. All in all, if you like your racers with a shot of adrenaline then check this out, you won't be disappointed.

Orlando ADHD Anxiety Depression Defiance Children's Therapy & Counseling Services in Southwest Orlando, Winter Park, Clermont, Lake Mary & East Orlando Florida FL. Our expert counselors and therapists are specialized in many mental health issues utilizing various approaches including play therapy, video games, recreation, day camps, summer camps and traditional therapies.
It is said that children are our future, a simple phrase that couldn't be truer. Children also tend to be the love of a parent's life, and parents always want what is best for their children. However, no two children are exactly the same, and some might need a little extra attention. Do you, as a parent, wonder why your child is acting a certain way? Are you not sure how to talk to them about their anger, grief, or depression after some type of big event? No matter the problem, counseling could be your solution. But how do you know where to turn?
Choosing the Right Counselor
Deciding to seek out counseling can be very scary, but picking out a specific counselor can sometimes be even scarier. Here at Total Life Counseling you can be sure that your child is receiving the best care possible. We have a highly qualified staff that is full of caring and approachable individuals. These very counselors are often asked to provide advice on local news networks,print media, and radio, as well as speak at various conferences and seminars across the state of Florida. We often hear that it is easy to relate and open up to our counselors, and that is something that we take great pride in. But what makes Total Life Counseling a different, interactive counseling experience?
Media Interviews our TLC experts on Marriage, Abuse, Family, Children, Addictions Issues and More No matching videos
The TLC difference!
Our counselors not only meet with your children, they get to know them in a much more exciting way then just talking.
They use special "techniques" like play therapy, recreation therapy, interactive games, and more! They interact with the children and make a connection while also making counseling comfortable and fun. Our counselors often use groups, retreats, and camps to help the children while in a more social environment, not just within the walls of the counseling center. Popcorn, Xbox, and humor are a usual experience in a counseling session at our center. Your children will learn, connect, and have fun all while getting the benefits of counseling.
Another thing that TLC does differently is we use a more holistic approach when it comes to medication. Our counselors like touse dietary changes, vitamins, supplements, and behavior modification before turning to any type of medical referrals. Due to this, 85% of our ADHD clients have been able to get off of or reduce their medications!
At Total Life Counseling, you can trust that your child will be in good hands. We have many different services that are offered by our trustworthy counselors. We use different techniques that we are sure of and proud of, and we would love to help you and your family! Call us today for a free 15 minute consultation. We'd love to hear from you!

Where are New York City's oldest living trees?
Say hello to the Giant, the largest living thing in New York City
This week, I'm looking at the oldest things New York City has to offer, by borough. Today's subject happens to be the very oldest living residents of the city, the trees of New York City. These would be those trees that have not been transplanted from elsewhere -- that would give the botanical gardens of New York an unfair advantage -- plants that have stood right where they were since the earliest days of Dutch and British occupancy -- and in one case, even before then.
I was not able to find complete info for all five boroughs, and I will indicate where I could not come to a definitive answer. If you have any leads, please post them in the comments section.
I'm obviously no arborist, so the details below are based on the research of others. However maybe someday I'll trek out to these various sites armed with a tape measure and an layman's knowledge on how to evaluate tree age.
Hattie Carthan, Brooklyn's tree saviour
It appears that the oldest tree in the borough -- among, as Betty Smith well knows, the many, many trees that grow in Brooklyn -- is undetermined. I read one assertion that the oldest tree was near Macdougal and Rockaway Ave in Bed-Stuy, but I've been to that corner and I don't know which tree that could possibly be.
However, one of Brooklyn's most famous trees is very nearby -- a southern magnolia tree Magnolia Grandiflora, brought to Brooklyn from North Carolina in 1885 and located near 667 Lafayette St. It happens to be the only landmarked living tree in the city, thanks to community leader and nature lover Hattie Carthan, back in 1970.
Most likely, however, the candidate for oldest tree is living in Prospect Park, one of 30,000 trees in notably the last remaining natural forest in the borough. Formerly, the title holder was a 220-year old black oak; it was recently uprooted during a storm and tumbled into the ravine.
With the borough's thousands of acres of park land, the real candidate for borough's oldest may as yet be undiscovered. However, the leading candidate is currently a handsome white oak tree around the 18th hole of the Split Rock Golf Course in Pelham Bay Park. The oak is well 'over 200 years old' although its location by a golf course can't be good for its health.
Hangin' around with New York's oldest and most legendary elm
One might naturally assume Manhattan's oldest tree must be in Central Park. It's a very manicured place though, and most of its older vegetation was transplanted here. However, the great London plane tree near the Reservoir (pictured below) is said possibly pre-date its construction in 1862.
There are two other candidates for oldest tree on the island. One is in Washington Heights, a 110-foot elm at 163rd Street and St. Nicholas. Known as the Dinosaur, it reportedly shaded George Washington as he surveyed his shifting fortunes during the Battle of Washington Heights.
The most renown candidate is, of course, the Hangman's Elm, in Washington Square Park. At a reported 310 years old, this arboreal old man in the northwest corner of the park most likely never really saw any hangings as its legend indicates, but its certainly fun to morbidly gander at its branches.
The top two candidates for New York's oldest tree have been the fascination of tree lovers since their discovery.
Below: The London plane tree near the Reservoir, most likely Central Park's oldest tree (pic courtesy Central Park 2000)
The two oldest trees in New York happen to be tulip trees, a common tree of the region named for its flower-shaped leaves. The charming Clove Lakes Park, at Forest Avenue and Clove Road, takes its name from the Dutch word "kloven" or cleft. Its granddaddy entry into the tree race is known as the Clove Lakes Colossus is a monstrous 119 feet tall with a circumference of 21.4 feet.
It's reported to be well over 300 years old, predating all but the most rudimentary European settlement here in Staten Island. It's actually a thicker tree than the tulip which is New York's oldest, but that's due to more ideal growing conditions. Unlike many other 'oldest tree' candidates, Clove Lakes takes good care of its elders, easily located at the park's north end near a paved path.
Say hello to the Queens Giant (pictured at top), the grandmother of all native New York City plants. Located along a secluded trail in Queens' Alley Pond Park, this monster is also one of the city's tallest trees at 133.8 feet -- just 20 feet shorter than the Statue of Liberty.
It may be one of the few remaining living things from the era before Henry Hudson sailed into New York harbor, with its age calculated at anywhere from 350 to 450 years old. This would make it one of New York's truly extraordinary natural features. Interestingly, in the past, the city has taken a stance of 'benign neglect' to the tree, arguing that it shouldn't be better accessed in order to protect it.

Awesome trees! I'm surprised no one found a resaon to cut them down and put up a development! www.satisfiedsole.comReplyDelete
I found you after googling 'oldest living tree Pelham Bay Park'. I believe I found the oldest in all NYC-a MONSTER in the woods of Pelham Bay Park-the lower branches are as big around as most trees-and are dead. Upper branches thriving with leaves. Drop me an email and I'll send pics. Best rgds, Bruce-Riverdale BronxReplyDeleteReplies
Bruce...I am a Bronx native who has seen and wondered about this tree. I would love to know more about it. Anything you can add would be appreciated.Delete

Thank you for an enjoyable reading. Just wondering...if anyone happens to know....which is THE RAREST tree in New York City?ReplyDelete
- michael massoJanuary 25, 2012 at 10:58 PM
I live in Brooklyn I just seen a tree that has to be the oldest tree i ever seen has to be at least 300 to 400 years old, in Bergen Beach Brooklyn. I wish I could do something to protect this tree from future damage. This tree is real ancient.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 1, 2012 at 10:56 PM
The Split Rock Tree (White Oak in the Bronx) did not survive Hurricane Sandy. Workers within NYC's own Parks Department estimated the tree to be over 400 years old. It is sad to see it not make it through the storm. I think the statement that the tree is on a golf course which means it is not good for its health is absolutely ignorant. Many golf course workers went above and beyond to protect the well being of this tree and if it was not for their efforts I am sure this tree would have been down years ago. Hopefully Parks will fund an analysis of the tree's true age.ReplyDeleteReplies

Thanks for this comment I was literally scouring the internet trying to find the 18th hole to go check out the tree. Sad I missed the opportunity living here my whole life.Delete

Daniel Ricciardo believes there is plenty of room for improvement when it comes to their 2013 model the STR8.
Toro Rosso and Ricciardo didn't really have the best of times during pre-season testing and that form carried over to the first few races of the season as the Australian retired with an exhaust problem in Melbourne while a damaged floor saw him classified as P18 in Malaysia even though he didn't finish the race.
The season is still young though and the 23-year-old believes the STR8 has a lot more potential than it showed in the first two races.
"We were hoping to fight around the Q3 area on Saturdays and still we're quite a long way off there," he said. "We have to work now. In testing it didn't go that well but I think a lot of that was due to the track conditions so we thought 'let's go to Melbourne and see what it's like'. I think we're improving but we are still not where we want to be.
"The basic thing is downforce, every car always wants more donwforce. When you have understeer or oversteer it's usually due to a lack of downforce. I think we have more tools on the car and we can use them better but we're still trying to understand it. There is more potential but not enough is showing at the moment."
As is the case with most teams, Toro Rosso are unlikely to make major upgrades to their car in the next two races in China and Bahrain.
Ricciardo, though, knows when they to do eventually add new bits and pieces to the STR8 in Spain it has to give them a big boost if they are to get ahead of their main rivals.
"In Barcelona that's planned," he said. "I think all the teams bring updates but hopefully that will give us what we are looking for.
"We have quite a lot of things going on with the car that should make it quite a bit better than it was last year. I don't feel we have got the most out of that stuff yet and when we do find it it should make the car better. The thing is a lot of guys are improving and no one will stay where they are. We've got to find a bigger step than everyone else and at the moment we are going with them and not taking the step we need at the moment."

'Need a stadium' for funeral of popular man who died in hotel smokestack

Nick Wieme, the aspiring stand-up comedian who made the fatal mistake early Thursday morning of climbing above the iconic domed rooftop of the InterContinental Hotel on Michigan Avenue to take pictures, was a "fantastic human," his brother said.
Nick was "awesome," Jamie Wieme said of his sibling, who loved his family "fiercely."
"We need a stadium to hold his funeral."
But then Jamie Wieme asked to be left alone so he could grieve with loved ones the sudden and bizarre death of the 23-year-old Minnesota transplant who fell down a chimney at the hotel at 505 N. Michigan and died after rescue crews pulled him from the shaft.
His love for Chicago — and his passion for comedy — prompted him to find a home here on the North Side, friends and family said.
"He just loved everything about [Chicago]," said former college dorm mate Matt Lang Mayala of Fargo, N.D. "He loved just being in the city and the comedy and all the things the city had to offer, and the people and everything."
Mayala couldn't say, though, whether his curiosity and fondness for the city played any role in Wieme's decision to venture out onto the rooftop, far above the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile where police said he had no permission to go.
Wieme's Facebook page suggests he dined at Michael Jordan's Steakhouse inside the hotel Wednesday night. Later, a Chicago Fire Department official said, Wieme and his girlfriend were looking around and wanted to go upstairs.
Wieme managed to open the door to the roof simply by pulling on it, Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said.
"The bolt was not in," he said.
Wieme would then climb a ladder to the top of the chimney beside the large observation deck on the InterContinental's roof. And he'd fall 22 feet into the chimney before hitting an angle that kept him from falling further, authorities said.
There were initial reports that Wieme tried to communicate with his girlfriend after he fell.
Meanwhile, police responded to a call from hotel security shortly after 1 a.m. of someone who was on the roof, a source said. Once police realized what really happened, they contacted fire officials who began trying to pull Wieme through the side of the chimney.
Langford said they feared Wieme — who was no longer communicating with them and might have been unconscious — would be startled by the crews trying to rescue him and fall further. That would mean a fall of more than 400 feet.
"There's no way he would have survived that fall," Langford said.
So crews, while trying to cut Wieme out of the chimney, also built a "safety stop" or platform farther below that would have caught him if he slipped.
Fire crews finally managed to cut a hole in the smokestack about 42 stories above Michigan and free Wieme before taking him to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in "severely critical condition."
He was pronounced dead at the hospital at 5:15 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
Hotel management put out a statement Thursday but declined to answer further questions.
"The InterContinental Magnificent Mile holds the safety, comfort and well-being of our guests and employees as our top priority and concern," said general manager Raymond Vermolen. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the guest at this difficult time. The hotel staff will continue to cooperate fully with authorities in their investigation."
Jamie Wieme said in a family statement his brother leaves behind his parents, two brothers, a sister-in-law, a niece he loved "dearly" as well as his grandparents and countless aunts, uncles and cousins.
He grew up in Pipestone, Minn., and graduated from Minnesota State University in Moorhead as an English major in 2011.
His brother said Wieme picked up the hobby of stand-up comedy in college. Mayala also said that, while Wieme enjoyed making movies in his free time and posting them online, he really wanted to make comedy a career.
"He just kind of made the decision," Mayala said. "He was very adamant."
His brother said Wieme had "a good deal of success" which led him to Chicago. That's when he switched to improvisational comedy.
"Those that watched him perform often attested that Nick had a way of unintentionally 'stealing the show,'" Jamie Wieme said.
And though Mayala couldn't explain why Wieme would be up on the roof of the InterContinental, he said Wieme was a free spirit.
"He's a very adventurous person," Mayala said. "And he liked to explore and do things like that."
The only thing that topped Wieme's talents, his family said, is the love and loyalty he showed his family and friends. They called him a family man and "a phenomenal friend."
"When it came to people," they said, "Nick's as good as they come."
