The aqueduct
Olivia: The Romans were very good engineers their towns had sewers and piped water supplies. Sometimes water had to be brought from far away an aqueduct was a kind of bridge that carried water across the valley.
Rebecca: The baths. Sick people came to pray to there goddess. In the baths the girls had to go in with a bikini made out of goats skin and the boys had to go naked in the baths. the girls time was 12.pm to 6.pm the boys time was 6.am to 12. pm
Heather: The roads. The roads were made out of stones.
Heather olny wants to say a little bit.
This half term Year 3 have been researching, making notes and then creating scripts all about Roman Britain. We are creating sets and hope to generate a short film for everybody to watch. A part of this film will be a sound track. Here are the completed tunes that some of us made in 3MW. Please listen to the tracks and then vote in our poll. Don't forget to choose TWO tracks, one for the start and one for the end!
The had more than 2,000 men in the Roman Army.The Celts worst enimy was The Romans because The Romans invaded lots of countries.The Romans enimys were the Celts.The Celts came in Britain before The Romans.For The Romans breakfast it was always used to be porridge but they didn't eat all of it because they had to practise there fighting for 2 hours in a day and everyday that must be very tired for The Romans.The Romans always used to have really hard lives in The Roman times.When The Romans had to fight for real they had to wear everything metal armour to protect there bodies.The Romans had a really really really big Empire.The only i know where they ruled it was only Italy i know i think.The Romans built Hadrians Wall because to keep the Scottish People away from The Romans because the Scottish People hated the Romans.The Romans language was Latin.Today no-one speaks Latin but the language does still exist.There are lots and lots and lots of languages like Arabic English Urdu Panjabi Somali Chinese.

As I got on the chariot the race began I went rownd the sharp corner I went flying suddly I grabt on to the reins. The spiks sharp blads cut through the weels on the other chariot. The roman won the race he was happy but the empore wasant happy.
This is a clip from an old film called "Ben Hur". This clip shows you what it might have been like in a chariot race. Imagine that you are a Roman Slave and that you have been forced to take part in a chariot race. Write about what the ampitheatre was like when you stepped out. What sounds could you hear, what could you see and how did you feel?
What was it like riding around on the back of the chariot with all those people cheering? What did you think of the Emperor? Have a watch and then write a descriptive paragraph or short story about a chariot race.

Romans used to wear shawls, cloaks (sometimes with hood), helmets, metal jackets and a little bag to carry equipment in like daggers, swords and lots more. Romans wore helmets to protect the head, neck and cheeks. They wore a metal jacket to protect the stomach and body.
The Romans used weapons for in battle to chop enimies heads of, and they used weapons to cook and chop meat up in to little tiny bits. The swords and gaggers are very sharp. They also used weapons to stab people. Sometime they used to chop wood aswell.
The Roman army is made out of highly trained legions. The Romans used a tortoise to protect themselves in battle. Ther was more than 1000 people in the army.

The Department of Conservation and Fonterra are working together to improve the natural habitats of five key waterways in significant dairying regions around New Zealand.
Quality waterways are pivotal to maintaining the healthy environments which protect native wildlife and also underpin a sustainable dairy industry.
Lake Ellesmere/Te Waihora in Canterbury
The Minister of Conservation Hon Dr Nick Smith and Fonterra Board Director John Monaghan officially launched the partnership on 7 March 2013 at Lake Areare in the Waikato. Fonterra and DOC are sharing joint co-ordination of a $20 million community investment over 10 years.
The partnership with Fonterra means DOC can deliver additional conservation gains in some of New Zealand's most sensitive catchments. Initially, Fonterra and DOC are working with local communities to make a difference to the water quality at five sensitive catchments:
A joint steering group has been established to collaboratively develop plans with communities for these areas.
As the expert in conservation and biodiversity, DOC is working with Fonterra, local communities and farmers in activities like enhancing riparian areas and wetlands, managing pests and weeds, and making sure that the right habitats are in place around farms to enhance biodiversity and encourage native fish and birds.

Is there a library function, where you can view a saved database of all the emotes you have created? It's a little difficult to remember all of them at times. I would love this, if there is not. That is all that is missing from the wonderful addon, in my opinion!

After EOD #4: The Special Lovecraftian Issue, came out in September 1991, I thought that it would be a good idea to do another Lovecraftian issue, maybe a few issues further down the line.
Then I had another idea: why not publish another magazine that specialized in the Cthulhu Mythos? It would have no regular publishing schedule so I could take my time and publish each issue whenever I had enough material to fill it.
The name I chose for this new magazine was Shoggoth.

I began working on Shoggoth #1 around November 1991. David Tansey's novella "The Shadow Out of Space and Time" had very much impressed me when I read it in the EOD Newsletter. I really felt that stories such as this deserved a much wider readership, so I wrote to David and offered to reprint it as the feature story in Shoggoth #1. Charles Spiteri, a writer-artist friend of mine offered to do the illustrations.
Also appearing in Shoggoth #1 was Leigh Blackmore's account of his visit with Frank Belknap Long.
Rod Williams was also very helpful in supplying some great artwork and graphics, Steven Proposch printed the cover, and Shoggoth #1 came out in June 1992. The initial print run was 250 copies, all of which had sold out by the end of that year, so another 250 copies were printed in early 1993.
Issue 2 1994 Edited & Published by Chris A. Masters A5, 92 pp., saddle-stapled, card cover.
Contents: 2. Editorial, by Chris A. Masters 4. Dark Tidings, by Charles Spiteri (Column) 6. Dagon's Forge, by Don Boyd (Short Story) 23. Ralph Vaughan: Visionary of the Dreamlands, by T.

Shoggoth did not have a regular publishing schedule. In fact, I wasn't even sure if I would put out a second issue. I figured that I would play it by ear, see how the first issue went, then decide if there would be a second.
By the end of 1993, I had more than enough material to put out a second, and even a third, issue.
In October 1993, Steven Proposch and I rented office space in a cheap-rent office building called Commerce House that was located in one of the seedier sections of the Melbourne CBD area. (See Bloodsongs pages for more about Commerce House.) I began working on Shoggoth #2 and EOD #9 simultaneously and used the equipment in our Bloodsongs office to put both together.
Shoggoth #2 came out in mid 1994 and the initial print run was 250 copies, which quickly disappeared. By October, I was busy printing another 250 copies, which also slowly sold out over the next couple of years.
A third and final issue of Shoggoth was planned. I wanted it to be something special. It would have a new and larger A4 format and be offset printed with a glossy card cover.
Shoggoth #3 was completed and made ready for the printers (I still have the final print master in my filing cabinet!), but, unfortunately I never had the money to print it, and as time passed I put it away for good. It was a real pity that Shoggoth #3 never saw print as I had some great material and the new expanded layout looked great. I did photocopy one copy that holds a proud place in my collection ... it's a true one off!

Promoting viable public housing across metropolitan Chicago
Though metropolitan Chicago's housing market remains weak, the availability of affordable homes in communities with good job opportunities and quality schools continues to fall far short of demand. The housing crisis turned many previous homeowners into renters, and increased joblessness added further pressure to an already tight rental market. The recession hit suburbs and cities indiscriminately; combined with America's changing demographics, its effects sparked a nationwide phenomenon: Today, more of the nation's poor live in the suburbs than in cities. In our region, the number of suburban households living in poverty grew by 76 percent in the 2000s (Brookings Institution).
Since its foundation in 1934, MPC has been committed to integrating quality homes affordable to families at a range of incomes—including very low-income households—into healthy communities with transportation options, job opportunities and quality schools. Currently, MPC is:
Continuing to ensure Chicago's new mixed-income communities thrive. As the Chicago Housing Authority's Plan for Transformation heads into its next phase, Plan Forward, MPC is convening developers of these new communities to share best practices for building and supporting successful neighborhoods.
Taking lessons learned from nearly eight decades of public housing work in Chicago to the suburbs. With eight regional housing authorities and the Illinois Housing Development Authority, MPC is leading the Regional Housing Initiative to rehabilitate and construct affordable multifamily rental housing across the region. With these same partners, MPC is piloting a better way to match families with public housing in quality neighborhoods.
Starting with a single regional public housing waiting list, the program offers families mobility counseling and connections to critical community resources and social services, to help lower-income households move not only to better homes, but also to better opportunities in communities with good jobs, transportation options and quality schools. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is funding MPC and Rand Corporation to document this pilot and ensure what we learn in this region can be a model for the nation.
From their health to their wealth, families with stable housing situations have a far greater chance of succeeding. Families without access to neighborhoods with transportation options, job opportunities and quality schools experience:

Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians flooded into the streets on the first anniversary of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi's inauguration on Sunday to demand that he resign.
Waving national flags and chanting "Get out!", a crowd of more than 200,000 had massed by sunset on Cairo's central Tahrir Square in the biggest demonstration since the 2011 uprising that overthrew Mursi's predecessor, Hosni Mubarak.
"The people want the fall of the regime!" they shouted, echoing the Arab Spring rallying cry that brought down Mubarak - this time yelling it not against an ageing dictator but against the first elected leader in Egypt's 5,000 year recorded history.
Many bellowed their anger at Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood, accused of hijacking the revolution and using electoral victories to monopolise power and push through Islamic law.
Others have been alienated by a deepening economic crisis and worsening personal security, aggravated by a political deadlock over which Mursi has presided.
As the working day ended and 38 Celsius (100 Fahrenheit) heat eased, more protesters converged through the eerily deserted streets of the shuttered city centre, while smaller crowds protested in several other areas of the capital.
The veteran leaders of Egypt's secular, liberal and left-wing opposition, including former chief of the U.N. nuclear watchdog Mohamed ElBaradei and leftist presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabahi, joined protest marches in Cairo.
A Reuters journalist said hundreds of thousands of anti-government protesters marched through the Mediterranean port of Alexandria, Egypt's second city, and a military source reported protests in at least 20 towns around the country.
Mursi, an engineering professor propelled to power by the Muslim Brotherhood, was monitoring events from the heavily guarded Qubba presidential palace, where an official spokesman appealed for the demonstrations to remain peaceful.
"Maintaining the security of Egypt is the common responsibility of everyone," presidential spokesman Ehab Fahmy told a news conference. "Dialogue is the only way to reach mutual understanding and to reach national agreement around the different issues of our homeland."
Security sources said three Brotherhood offices were set on fire by demonstrators in towns in the Nile Delta - the latest in more than a week of sporadic violence in which hundreds have been hurt and several killed, including an American student.
More than 20,000 supporters of Mursi congregated outside a Cairo mosque not far from another suburban presidential palace, where protest organisers planned a sit-in from Sunday evening.
Interviewed by a British newspaper, Mursi voiced his determination to ride out what he sees as an undemocratic attack on his electoral legitimacy. But he also offered to revise the new, Islamist-inspired constitution, saying clauses on religious authority, which fuelled liberal resentment, were not his choice.

Emergency procedure
Re: your emergency in Poland/Slavakia or where ever it was...
remind me the next time I see you to tell you about the 'Emergency defication procedure' in the MOD Field Training Manual. Oh and top tip... always carry a poop bag, preferably without holes.
Looking forward to seeing the pics of the Octinska aragonite and the Domica caves!
Hope this finds you both well. Haven't heard from you for a while...?
Bus to Poland
Trip Start
Apr 16, 2009
Trip End
What a load of rubbish! The buses at the border, Lysa Polana on the Slovakia side (which is basically a car park and a few closed buildings which look pretty empty), are not remotely synchronised and the earliest bus to Zakopane is at 8.55am (it was 7am when we got dropped off). That in itself wouldn't be so bad even though it is pouring with rain but there is just nothing there. Nothing at all and not a single person about. Some empty buildings in a closed compound on the Polish side (no clue as to when it might be open, if at all) but if it wasn't for the fact that the road signs now look different and we can look back across the bridge we walked over to see a big Slovakia sign on that side of the river, we wouldn't even know we'd crossed the border. Not happy bunnies as to top it off we had read that there are ATM's on either side of the border so we thought we would pull out a bundle of Zlotty then but you guessed it, there weren't, and not even a settlement of any description on the Polish side. Here is the clincher and it really is, I, being G, is seriously needing a poo!!
Anyhow, as luck would have it S managed to flag down a private minibus to Zakopane who would accept Euros to cover the cost of the journey and G resolved his situation. ATM at Zakopane bus station, phew, and on to another bus to Krakow pretty much straight away that took 1hr40mins, not 4hrs...........

Greenweaver- Wow, I had never thought of that. I know that most of the time when I go to a store the price is rarely ever on the package anymore.
There used to be custom price stickers on items so you would know what they cost. These stickers were put on items with the use of a pricing gun.
It was a tedious process for the stores which is why you don't see many price gun stickers anymore. Instead inventory and pricing is tracked by a UPC bar code which a scanner registers at checkout.

Seven-step drop: Andre Carter on a tear
November, 14, 2011
James Walker | ESPN.com
Here are seven notes and observations from Week 10 in the AFC East:
- The New England Patriots received a lot of press for making big-name acquisitions like Albert Haynesworth and Chad Ochocinco. But New England's best offseason addition turned out to be an under-the-radar free agent. Veteran defensive end Andre Carter signed with the Patriots in August and didn't create many headlines. He was one of several defensive linemen added to the team for depth, which included Haynesworth and Shaun Ellis. But Carter is on a tear with the Patriots this season. He had 4.5 sacks in Sunday's important win against the New York Jets and is tied for fourth in the NFL with nine sacks. Carter is on pace to shatter his career-best total of 11 sacks from 2009.
- The Patriots have depth issues at several positions, but offensive tackle is not one of them. New England flexed its muscle at tackle against the Jets and didn't allow any sacks on quarterback Tom Brady. Left tackle Matt Light and right tackle Sebastian Vollmer got the start and played great, while rookie first-round pick Nate Solder was used as a sub in heavy packages and temporarily when Vollmer was hurt. Both Vollmer and Solder were questionable heading into the game. The Patriots also have a young offensive tackle on their practice squad in Matt Kopa who has potential. The second-year player from Stanford could be additional insurance if New England has any major injuries at the position.
- The Jets (5-4) are essentially two games back in the AFC East and could run into issues in the wild-card race. The first tiebreaker is head-to-head meetings, and the Jets lost to a pair of wild-card contenders in the Baltimore Ravens (6-3) and Oakland Raiders (5-4). New York has to hope the Ravens and Raiders win their divisions. The Jets also have to worry about the Cincinnati Bengals (6-3) and maybe the struggling Buffalo Bills (5-4). The Jets and Bills could have an elimination game in two weeks at the Meadowlands.
- Speaking of Buffalo, a lot of pressure now is on Bills starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. He was paid $59 million to be the long-term solution and face of the franchise. Fitzpatrick is no longer a cute, surprising story. With the $10 million per year price tag comes high expectations for Fitzpatrick to consistently produce. It's poor timing for Fitzpatrick to play his worst football of the season. He's thrown for 337 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions the past two weeks. As a result, Buffalo has been outscored 71-18 in that span against the Jets and Dallas Cowboys. The bar has been raised and Fitzpatrick will get a lion's share of the blame when things don't go well. That's par for the course for other franchise quarterbacks around the league.
- Buffalo has a lot of issues defensively. But the biggest issue haunting the Bills is their lack of pass rush. Buffalo thought it fixed its pass-rush issues in Toronto after registering 10 sacks against the Washington Redskins. It was the second-most sacks in Bills history. But that proved to be a fluke. Buffalo has just one sack in its past two games, and quarterbacks are taking advantage. Dallas quarterback Tony Romo was very comfortable in the pocket. He was 23 of 26 for 270 yards and three touchdowns.
- Is winning the best thing for the Miami Dolphins? Miami fans have to be torn about the Dolphins' two-game winning streak. The Dolphins are finally playing well. But it comes after the team has no pressure and no shot at the postseason. On the flip side, it's a virtual certainty Miami played itself out of the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. The Indianapolis Colts (0-10) cannot win three of their final six games. Miami (2-7) also would have to lose its final seven games. That doesn't appear likely, either.
- Next week's game between Buffalo and Miami will be more interesting than expected. The AFC East blog will be covering that contest next week at Sun Life Stadium. I think this is a must-win game for Buffalo. The Bills are in the middle of their three-game road trip, and this is the most winnable one on their schedule. Miami, meanwhile, will have a lot of say in who wins the AFC East. The Dolphins have four division games remaining and seem to be relishing their "spoiler" role. Miami can put a huge dent in Buffalo's season next week.

With crazy fuel prices and over price boats is Cable the future of Wake Boarding?
Cable Parks are popping up all over the globe. Little wake boarding playgrounds that aren't dependent on tides, filling fat sacs or spending hundreds of dollars a day on fuel to go for a ride. Plus if your mates all bail on you, cause there hung over, can't be botthered or their missus put the foot down and said "No riding" you can still go on your own.
As well as cable parks, the massive increase in winching, and now the introduction of the Systec 2 and the Rixen Bro in the Box, smaller portable cable set ups are getting easier and easier.
We put this question to some of the worlds best boat and cable riders. This is what they had to say?
Aaron Rathy
I dont think boat is dying out, but cable is definitely taking over in some aspects... Its hard to say I guess, its just wakeboarding... you dont call it something different when you go to the cable right? you still say Im going riding, so I think that cable and boat are just different ways to have fun wakeboarding. It seems like boat riding is still getting the most coverage in magazines, but I think with more stuff using the system 2 and when there are more of them its gonna open up a completely new chapter for our sport. Handrails are finally gonna be doable, step ups, and just urban park riding, without having to pay 60 bucks a day for gas or walk half a mile everytime you fall. haha I dig riding cable, but you cant beat the feeling of hitting perfect tranny...
Tom Fooshee
I feel that boat wakeboarding will always be the basis of our sport and it will never die or fade out due to the shape of the world economy. Its the core of our sport and spending a day out on the lake shredding never gets old, its always a blast! However though, I also feel that cable will be the future of bringing our sport to the masses. With the introduction of the new two tower cables, wakeboarding has been brought to places and venues that were never possible before. This allows the public to see wakeboarding and wakeskating performed legitimitly in the "skate park" style setting. Cable is a great chance for wakeboarding to become accessible to everyone, regaurdless of their income. Its a great opportunity for companies to sell their product on site. Customers are able to try out product right there on site to make sure they get the wakeboard they want. I feel that cable is most definitely going to help our industry as a whole. I see places like Texas Ski Ranch setting a great example of what you can do with cable. Not only has the cable created an environment for wakeboarders and wakeskaters to get together and shred, it also is a place to meet someone to ride with behind the boat. At TSR there is a Mastercraft dealership that actually works with the cable to bring wakeboarding to everyone. The cable often times helps sell a boat. Any a boat buyer often wants to ride the cable. So together they work hand and hand. As for the future of progression of our sport, there will always be guys out there charging it behind the boat creating new tricks, and I love to see it! I most definitely appriciate seeing what a lot of riders do behind their boats, whether it be a dirty ts tail grab bs 180, or a 1260, it is the Sh!t. I love it! and it will never get old. But the cable also can bring you possibilities that the boat couldnt before, such as the possibility of creating a new rail that local lake cops cant tear down because its on your pond or cable lake. Also you can do re-entry style tricks on spine ramps, the gigantic c-rail that Henshaw did (which was incrediable by the way) and loads of other creativity that we have just touched the tip of the iceberg on. Cable and boat will also inspire more and more riders to take their tricks to another level, something we will see more of in the near future.
Jeff Weatherall
Riding behind a boat will never die out, its a staple of family fun and water sports at lakes across america and the world. You dont have to have the latest and greatest wake machine to be able to ride on a lake at your holiday house. Sure maybe spending has slowed the sale of major wakeboard boats, but those with that already have boats will still ride and instead of upgrading to newer boats they will just keep riding the same machine that they always love to shred behind each summer. On the other side though I see cable riding taking off, and it bringing a different group of riders into the sport. People that previously never had the opportunity to get out and ride behind a boat all of a sudden have a way to access wakeboarding with out all the crazy expenses that is involved with boat riding. And its a different type of rider coming through too... the new 'cable rat' as they're called at a lot of spots are bringing there own mentallity, style and shred to wakeboarding around the world. I see kids that have no clue about boat riding coming out at cable parks and just throwing down crazy stuff with so much style... Its epic to see them out there just ripping. And thanks to riders like Keith Lidburg I think maybe some of those 'cable rats' will end up crossing over to the boat and bring a whole new set of tricks and style to boat riding.

The Olympiastadion (German pronunciation: [ʔoˈlʏmpi̯aˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn]; English: Olympic Stadium) is a sports stadium in Berlin, Germany. There have been two stadia on the site: one that was called the Deutsches Stadion, which was built for the aborted 1916 Summer Olympics, and the present-day facility. Both were designed by members of the same family, the first by Otto March and the second by his son Werner March. It is the second biggest stadium in Germany behind Signal Iduna Park and has been the home stadium of the Hertha Berlin football team since 1963.
The current Olympiastadion was originally built for the 1936 Summer Olympics in the southern part of the Reichssportfeld (today Olympiapark Berlin). During World War II, the area suffered little damage. After the war, the British military occupation used the northern part of the Reichssportfeld as its headquarters until 1949. From 1951 to 2005, the Olympischer Platz had a giant antenna transmitting for all the portable radios in Berlin.
Aside from its use as an Olympic stadium, the Olympiastadion has a strong footballing tradition. It was used for 3 matches in the 1974 FIFA World Cup. It hosted six matches, including the final, in the 2006 FIFA World Cup and was renovated for that reason. The German Cup final match is held each year at the Olympiastadion. The stadium sees use in other sports as well; at one point it held the world record for the attendance of a baseball game, thought to be over 110,000. In May 2013, UEFA announced that the Olympiastadion Berlin will host the 2015 UEFA Champions League Final.

1916 to 1934: Deutsches Stadion, old Olympiastadion[edit]
During the 1912 Summer Olympics, the city of Berlin was designated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to host the 1916 Summer Olympics. Germany's proposed stadium for this event was to be located in Charlottenburg, in the Grunewald Forest, to the west of Berlin—thus the stadium was also known as Grunewaldstadion. A horse racing-course already existed there which belonged to the Berliner Rennverein, and even today the old ticket booths survive on Jesse-Owens-Allee. The government of Germany decided not to build in the nearby Grunewald forest, or to renovate buildings that already existed. Because of this desire, they hired the same architect who originally had built the "Rennverein", Otto March.
March decided to bury the stadium in the ground ("Erdstadion", in German). However, the 1916 Olympic Games were cancelled due to World War I. In the 1920s the first buildings of a school, the "Deutsches Sportforum" (German Sport Forum), dedicated to the teaching of professors of physical education and the study of sport science were built northeast of the stadium site. From 1926 to 1929, Otto March's sons (Werner and Walter) were assigned to build an annex for these institutions, though the finalization was delayed until 1936.
1936: Reichssportfeld[edit]
In 1931, the International Olympic Committee made Berlin the host city of the 11th Summer Olympics. Originally, the German government decided merely to restore the earlier Olympiastadion (German Stadium) of 1916, with Werner March again retained to do this.
When the Nazis came to power in Germany (1933), they decided to use the Olympic Games in 1936 for propaganda purposes. With these plans in mind, Hitler ordered the construction of a great sports complex in Grunewald named the "Reichssportfeld" with a totally new Olympiastadion. Architect Werner March remained in charge of the project, assisted by his brother Walter March.
Construction took place from 1934 to 1936. When the Reichssportfeld was finished, it was 1.32 square kilometres (326 acres). It consisted of (east to west): the Olympiastadion, the Maifeld (Mayfield, capacity of 50,000) and the Waldbühne amphitheater (capacity of 25,000), in addition to various places, buildings and facilities for different sports (such as football/soccer, swimming, equestrian events, and field hockey) in the northern part.
Werner March built the new Olympiastadion on the foundation of the original Deutsches Stadion, once again with the lower half of the structure buried 12 meters underground.
The capacity of the Olympiastadion reached 110,000 spectators. It also possessed a special stand for Adolf Hitler and his political associates. At its end, aligned with the symmetrically-designed layout of the buildings of the Olympischer Platz and toward the Maifeld, was the Marathon Gate with a big receptacle for the Olympic Flame.
To the east of the stadium, there were two field hockey stadia that hosted the competitions that were won by India.
Maifeld (Mayfield) was created as a huge lawn (112,000 square metres, 28 acres) for gymnastic demonstrations, specifically annual May Day celebrations by Hitler's government.
Maifeld was surrounded by 19 metres of land elevation (62 ft), even though the Olympiastadion (to the east) was only 17 metres (55 ft) high.
The total capacity was 250,000 people, with 60,000 in the large stands that extended at the west end. Also located there were the Langemarck-Halle (below) and the Bell Tower (rising high). The walls were built with sturdy stone from the area of the Lower Alps, and also feature equine sculptures (work of Josef Wackerle).
During the 1936 Olympics, the Maifeld was used for polo and equestrian dressage events.
After World War II the British military occupation forces (Berlin Infantry Brigade) annually celebrated The Queen's Official Birthday on the Maifeld and used it for a variety of sporting activities including Cricket. Starting in 2012, Maifeld became home to the Berlin Cricket Club.[1]
Bell Tower[edit]
The Bell Tower crowned the western end of the Reichs Sportfield planted amid the tiers of the Maifeld stands. It was 77 metres (247 ft) high. From its peak could be observed the whole city of Berlin. During the games, it was used as observation post by administrators and police officials, doctors and the media.
In the tower was the Olympic Bell. On its surface were the Olympic Rings with an eagle, the year 1936, the Brandenburg Gate, the date 1.-16. August and a motto between two swastikas: I call the youth of the world[2] and 11. Olympic Games Berlin – although the games were the 10th (Summer) Olympics, they were the Games of the XI Olympiad.
The Bell Tower was the only part of the Reichssportfeld that was destroyed in the war. The Third Reich used the tower's structure to store archives (such as films). The Soviet troops set its contents on fire, turning the tower into a makeshift chimney. The structure emerged from the fire severely damaged and weakened.
In 1947, the British engineers demolished the tower, however reconstructed it faithfully in 1962. The Olympic Bell (which had survived the fire and remained in its place in the tower) fell 77 metres and cracked and has been unable to sound since then. In 1956, the bell was rescued, only in order to be used as a practice target for shooting with anti-tank ammunition. The old bell survives to this day and serves now as a memorial.
The restoration of the tower was carried out from 1960 to 1962, once again by the architect Werner March, following the original blueprints. The present tower became an important tourist destination offering a panorama of Berlin, Spandau, the Havel Valley, Potsdam, Nauen and Hennigsdorf.
The Langemarck-Halle[edit]
This consisted of huge halls built under the stands of the Maifeld. Pillars were raised on which hung flags and shields commemorating all the forces that participated in a battle fought in Langemark (West Flanders, Belgium) on November 10, 1914, during the First World War. Since 2006, the ground floor is home to a public exhibit providing historical information on the area of the former Reichssportfeld.
Waldbühne, the Forest Theatre[edit]
The Waldbühne was built in 1936 as part of the preparation for the Berlin Olympics. The terraces were molded into the glacial river banks of the Berlin glacial valley. It is a reproduction of the old theater of Epidaurus (3rd century BC). The theater was then named "Dietrich-Eckart-Bühne" in homage to Dietrich Eckart.[3]
Seating for up to 25,000 spectators goes down to a depth of 30 metres (97 ft);[4] in the middle section Adolf Hitler's box once stood.[citation needed] Two pairs of nudes in relief by Adolf Wamper flanked the entrance. During the Olympics, gymnastics competitions and a myriad of cultural programs were staged in the Waldbühne.
Today, it is used as one of Europe's biggest concert venues. The Berlin Philharmonic has staged a June concert at the Waldbühne every year since 1984. Since 2009, its operator has been CTS Eventim.
The pop rock singer P!nk performed there on June 8, 2010 during The Funhouse Summer Carnival.
British rock band Muse performed there on July 14, 2013 as part of their The 2nd Law World Tour.
Berlin, 1936 Summer Olympics[edit]
On August 1, 1936, the Olympics were officially inaugurated by the head of state Adolf Hitler, and the Olympic Flame was lit by the athlete Fritz Schilgen.
While the Olympic Flame had been used for the first time in Amsterdam 1928, in Berlin 1936 a marathon-like tour of the Olympic Torch was introduced, from Olympia in Greece, crossing six frontiers with a journey of 3000 km to Berlin, through Greece, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Austria and Germany. The original idea of this Olympic torch relay was Carl Diem's, who was a notorious political advisor to Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, specialising in Olympic affairs.
Four million tickets were sold for all the events of the 1936 Summer Olympics. This was also the first Olympics with television transmission (25 giant screens were scattered all over Berlin) and radio transmissions in 28 languages (with 20 radio vans and 300 microphones).
Among the sport competitions, one of the most memorable events was the performance of the African-American track and field athlete Jesse Owens, representing the United States of America. Owens won the gold medal in the 100, 200, long jump and 4 x 100 relay.
During those games, they also hosted the equestrian jumping, football, and handball events.
The 1936 Olympics held in the stadium were immortalised in the film Olympia (1938) by Leni Riefenstahl.
1939 to 1945: World War II[edit]
The Olympiastadion was one of the few buildings that survived not just in a recognisable form, but almost untouched after the Second World War. It only suffered the impact of machine gun shots.
The most significant battle around the Olympiastadion was in April 1945 when the Soviet army fought to capture it. This was during the final battle of the Second World War in Europe, with the total invasion of Berlin as the Allies' target.
1945 to 1994: Occupied Berlin[edit]
After the war, the former Reichssportfeld became the headquarters of the British military occupation forces.
The British forces settled in the northeastern buildings designed by the March brothers in the 1920s, which the Third Reich had used for official sport organisations such as the Reich Academy of Physical Training and extended by 1936, adding the "Haus des deutschen Sports" (House of German Sports) and other buildings. Soon, the British forces renovated war-damaged buildings but also converted interiors to their specific needs (one gymnasium was converted into a dining hall, another into a garage). From then until 1994 and their departure, British forces held an annual celebration of The Queen's Official Birthday in the Maifeld with thousands of spectators from Berlin present. During the 1960s, American military and high school football teams introduced hundreds of thousands of Berliners to American football at the stadium in exhibition games.
During those years, Bundesliga (football) matches were played in the Olympiastadion, with Hertha BSC as local team. In the Maifeld, several competitions of football, rugby and polo were staged too. In the summers, the Waldbühne resumed its classical music concerts, and playing movies. The theatre was also used as an improvised ring for boxing matches.
Hertha BSC[edit]
In 1963, the Bundesliga was formed, and Hertha BSC participated by direct invitation, leaving its old stadium (the "Plumpe") to use the Olympiastadion. On August 24, it played the first local match against FC Nuremberg, with the final score 1:1. However, in 1965, the German Football Association found Hertha BSC guilty of bribery and relegated them to the Regional Leagues. Hertha had illegally bribed several football players in an attempt to add them to the team, following their disinterest in playing in Berlin because of the construction of the Berlin Wall (1961). In 1968, Hertha returned to the first division, and to the Olympiastadion, and in 1971 sold "Plumpe". The second half of the 1970s was quite successful for Hertha BSC Berlin. In 1979, it reached the semifinals of the UEFA Cup, but was defeated by Red Star Belgrade. Hertha reached the finals of the German Cup twice (1977 and 1979).
In the 1980s, Hertha had a declining role in the Bundesliga, and fell to the Regional Leagues in 1986, although they later recovered reaching the Second Division (1988–1989).
With the demolition of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, a spontaneous feeling of sympathy between Hertha and FC Union from Eastern Berlin arose, which culminated in a friendly match at the Olympiastadion with 50,000 spectators (January 27, 1990).
In 1990, Hertha returned to the First Division, although it fell again to the Second Division from 1991 until 1997.
Since 1997, the club has improved greatly, climbing up the Bundesliga table and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, with matches against top European teams like Chelsea and A.C. Milan, increasing the international prestige of the club.
1974 FIFA World Cup[edit]
Three matches from Group A (West Germany, Chile, East Germany and Australia) of the 1974 FIFA World Cup were played in the Olympiastadion. The third match, Australia vs Chile, was played in torrential rain. The hosts, West Germany, won the tournament.
Date | Team #1 | Result | Team #2 | Round |
14 June 1974 | West Germany | 1–0 | Chile | First Round, Group A |
18 June 1974 | East Germany | 1–1 | Chile | First Round, Group A |
22 June 1974 | Australia | 0–0 | Chile | First Round, Group A |

Chile | 2 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | −1 |
Australia | 1 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 5 | −5 |
1994 to 2005[edit]
In 1998, Berliners debated the destiny of the Olympiastadion in light of the legacy it represented for Germany.
Some wanted to tear the stadium down and build a new one from scratch, while others favoured letting it slowly crumble "like the Colosseum in Rome".[5]
Finally, it was decided to renovate the Olympiastadion. FIFA then chose it as one of the venues of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The State of Berlin hired a consortium composed of Walter Bau AG and DYWIDAG that won the €45 million franchise. The consortium took charge of the operation of the facilities together with Hertha BSC and the Government of Berlin after the remodelling.
On July 3, 2000, the renovation began with a ceremony presided over by the Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, accompanied by Eberhard Diepgen (Berlin Mayor), Franz Beckenbauer and Prof. Dr. Ignaz Walter.
The Reconstruction[edit]
70,000 cubic metres (92,000 yd3) of concrete and 20,000 cubic metres (26,000 yd3) of pre-cast reinforced concrete elements were used. 12,000 cubic metres (16,000 yd3) of concrete was demolished and removed and 30,000 cubic metres (39,000 yd3) of natural stone was refurbished.
The roof was extended to cover a total of 37,000 square metres, with 20 roof-supporting columns carrying a weight of 3,500 tonnes of steel.
With the intention of creating a more intimate atmosphere for football games, the playing field was lowered (even more) by 2.65 metres (8.7 ft); approximately 90,000 cubic metres (120,000 yd3) of sand was excavated. The lower tier of seating in the stadium was demolished and rebuilt at a completely different angle of inclination.
The conservation factor of the Olympiastadion as a historical monument was also considered, especially with respect to the preservation of the natural stone blocks. After criticisms, the colour of the athletics track around the game field was changed from red to blue, reflecting the colours of Hertha BSC.
On January 9, 2002, construction workers found an unexploded World War II bomb buried beneath a section of seating. It was defused outside the stadium by Berlin police.[6]
Technical details[edit]
The new Olympic Stadium has the highest all-seated capacity in Germany at 74,500. The only stadium to have more total capacity is Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park (formerly Westfalenstadion) (though the Westfalenstadion has both seating and standing areas, and its all seated capacity of 65,718 is lower than the Olympiastadion).
The roof rises 68 metres over the seats and is made up of transparent panels that allow sunlight to stream in during the day. The western portion (on the Marathon Arch) is open to reveal the Bell Tower to the spectators.
The Olympiastadion was equipped with the latest technology in artificial illumination and sound equipment. It has 113 VIP stands, a set of restaurants, and two underground garages (for 630 cars).
The total cost of the remodelling and amplification was €242 million.
Reinauguration and post-reinauguration[edit]
The reinauguration celebrations of the new Olympic Stadium were carried out on July 31, 2004 and August 1, 2004. On that day, Saturday, the party began with performances from P!nk, Nena and Daniel Barenboim. It culminated at night with the opening ceremony.
On day two, friendly matches were played between different categories of the club Hertha BSC and visiting teams. On September 8, 2004, Brazil played Germany.
Past events[edit]
Since 1985, the stadium has hosted the finals of both the DFB-Pokal and its companion women's tournament, the Frauen DFB Pokal. However, it did not host the 2010 final of the Frauen DFB Pokal, which was held at Cologne's RheinEnergieStadion as part of an experimental test to host the event in a different city. The stadium also hosts the Internationales Stadionfest, which also served as an IAAF Golden League event until 2010, it is currently unknown if it will be a part of the new IAAF Diamond League. The stadium hosted the 2009 World Championships in Athletics where Usain Bolt broke the 100m and 200m world records.
The stadium was a possible venue for the 2011 UEFA Champions League Final, along with the Allianz Arena in Munich before Wembley Stadium in London was decided as the venue in January 2009. On May 2013, UEFA announced it will host the 2015 UEFA Champions League Final.
The stadium hosted five American Bowls between 1990-1994. The stadium was also home to Berlin Thunder, an American football team in NFL Europa, from 2003 until the league's operator, the U.S. National Football League, closed down the money-losing competition in 2007.
Current tenants[edit]
The stadium has been used as the home venue for the Fußball-Bundesliga's Hertha BSC since 1963.

Political considerations[edit]
The Olympiastadion was designated to play the final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. This took place exactly 70 years after the 1936 Summer Olympics.
Peter Steinhorst, chief technician on the project, said to the BBC: "Whenever you enter, you will still know this was the site of the 1936 Games. You will pass all the old Nazi sculptures".[5]
"The history is there, the totality of the buildings is there. The whole Nazi landscape has not disappeared", added the sports sociologist Günther Gebauer. "There are towers like in a fortress, and people who come will always ask where the Führer sat.".[5]
Germany's Interior Minister Otto Schily, who attended the opening party, concluded: "The stadium recalls the dark elements present in its creation. But in 2006 the world will look upon to modern, democratic, and open Germany".[5]

@uzumba2 - The tempura batter typically consists of rice flour, ice water (with ice cubes), and eggs.
It's very simple, very light, and you could find an exact recipe online somewhere, I'm sure. My favorite veggies to cook tempura-style are sweet potato wedges, cauliflower, broccoli and zucchini. It's such a great way to get your veggies.

First of all I love the texture, feels like silk on the lips, moisturizes, doesn't accentuate flakes, applies evenly and precisely.
Smells sweet and flowery and the packaging looks very luxurious but it's too flashy for my taste.
The color is more of a true red but with a tinge of warmth, pretty much the lipstick equivalent of Big Apple Red by OPI. Very creamy and pigmented. Nice quality but I prefer my red lipsticks on the cooler side and less glossy then Le Rouge.
It's pricey, though - as expected. Also I think it's too heavily perfumed for me.

Le Rouge by YSL is my first YSL lipstick purchase. I own one YSL glossy stain that I adore so I figured I would try out the lipstick.
I am a red, hot pink, magenta to fuchsia lipstick wearer so bold lips are in my comfort zone.
Le Rouge is a Blood Red color.
-packaging is stellar.
-color is a bright red with some blue but not too much.
-pigmentation is rich
-product is moisturizing
-good couple of hours wear (drinking and some snacking included)
-I have also been asked 133431421241234 times which lipstick color I'm wearing by chicks when I rock Le Rouge. Cool guys just say "I like your lipstick" : )
I simply love everything about this lipstick. I plan on purchasing Le Fuchsia.
I picked this bad boy up at Sephora in Las Vegas it was the last in the store. It is always sold out on Sephora.com.

ROUGE PUR COUTURE SPF15 - Pure Colour Satiny Radiance in #1 Le Rouge-Blood Red:
This is a TRUE red, doesnt pull orange or berry. That said, it made me look pretty flat. I opted for this brand but in #20 Rouge Flamme-Cranberry Red. I was looking for a true red but you know, sometimes the true red won't look that great on you! the berry in the #20 gave my face some LIFE and it was more modern. i looked so dated with the true red on. i have pigmented lips, warm yellow toned southeast asian skin. #20 is a gorgeous red! texture was very moisturizing though and great color payoff. used my 15% chic coupon so score!

Age: 44-55 Skin: Combination, Fair Hair: Blond Eyes: Blue
The new Rouge Pur Couture called "Le Rouge" is absolutely a true bright red! Can't distinguish bluish tones or warm, or whatever, I can only see what I see and that's a true red if you are searching for "the one."
It's marvelous at moisturizing, it's long-wearing without changing color, and it's slightly shiny in a satin texture.
This was my first YSL lippie. The next one will be in the nude or pink category but that will be in the future as this one will set you back $30.
If you plan to wear anything in the bright red category, then you need this one to finish the look! I find that my choice of lipcolor has to be complimentary to the outfit I'm wearing.

Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
If energy and water savings are important to you, then the Bosch SHE43P05UC is definitely worth a look. At $24 per year, this dishwasher was the least expensive to run of the models we tested. It did a great job cleaning on normal cycle too, leaving glasses spot-free. It also has a fingerprint-resistant front panel and a large, easy-to-load rack system. We should note that the sliding-door design on the detergent dispenser is not as easy to latch as the standard hinged-door models, and the control panel is not as straightforward as some others. (We had to consult the manual to figure out how to operate it.)
