Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Long middle section tough slog for readers
MANU Joseph's 2010 first novel, Serious Men, a wickedly funny satire on caste and class at a scientific institute in Mumbai, won the PEN Open Book Award and the Hindu Best Fiction Award, as well as a host of other award nominations. It was compared favourably to Arvind Adiga's The White Tiger, winner of the Man Booker Prize in 2008.
Now Joseph, a Delhi-based columnist and editor, has produced a more sombre, slow-paced novel that focuses on a father's investigation of his son's suicide. He has thrown in funny observations of contemporary Indian society, as well as some quirky, authentic characters (as he did in Serious Men), but still there is little here to hold a reader's interest through the novel's long middle section.
The Illicit Happiness of Other People chronicles six months in the life of the Chacko family in Madras (now Chennai). The time is 1990, and the family is Keralite Christian. Since Joseph was born in Kerala and grew up in Madras, he is writing what he knows.
The Chackos (Ouseph, Mariamma and their 12-year-old son, Thoma) live in a large apartment complex of middle-class families where everyone knows everyone else's business. This knowledge has distinct disadvantages for the Chackos, who are not ordinary people.
Even before their 17-year-old son, Unni, dove off the roof of their apartment building, the cracks in the Chacko family were showing.
Ouseph, once a promising journalist, comes home drunk every night. Mariamma, who has a degree in economics and frequently refers to the law of diminishing returns, talks to the walls. The family is so poor (by middle-class standards) that the only way Marianna can keep Thoma in a Catholic school is by giving her priest information on other Catholics who attend evangelical meetings.
The characters and the setting, then, are rich with possibility, and the book's opening chapters are absorbing. Three years after the event, Ouseph receives a clue in the mail that once again compels him to take up the investigation of his son's death. He studies the enigmatic cartoons his son composed and seeks to interview Unni's friends.
By this time, Unni's friends have either succeeded in getting into top-notch engineering schools or resigned themselves to failure. Ouseph views these young men as "terrified of everything, of life, of their future, of friends doing better than them, of falling off their cycles, of big trucks and large men and beautiful women ... the only thing that did not scare them was calculus."
But pithy prose and a few witty observations are not enough to move the story along. The format of interviews and exposition soon becomes tiresome. Everyone has a tale to tell, but no one has an answer to why an apparently happy boy would commit suicide. How long can readers sustain interest in a character they have never met?
Fortunately, Ouseph's lengthy interviews are interspersed with passages from the point of view of Thoma, a very engaging character. We first meet him in class where he has a tendency to wool-gather, staring "at the open textbook for hours ... distracted by the pain of the parallelogram, which is slanted forever. His nails scratch the page to straighten its tired limbs."
In the end, it is Thoma who stumbles on the reason for Unni's suicide. It is all much simpler than Ouseph's circuitous investigation would indicate, and entirely plausible.
If only Joseph had cut 50 or so pages in the middle section, readers might come away satisfied, instead of feeling they have been led up a very long garden path.
Faith Johnston is a Winnipeg writer. Her second book, a novel, The Only Man in the World, was published this fall.

|Hendrix the Husky
Harry the Husky is a body-suit mascot for the University of Washington, one of two mascots the University's athletic program currently uses. Hendrix the Husky is Harry's brother that lives at UW Tacoma. [1]
The University's first mascot was Sunny Boy, a 3-foot-tall (0.91 m), gold-painted statuette representing an illustration frequently appearing in Columns, which - at the time - was a student-published campus humor magazine (presently Columns is the title of the University of Washington Alumni Magazine). The mascot was introduced in 1920 and retired three years later when it got lost in Bush Auditorium and the University adopted the nickname "Huskies." [2]
Beginning in 1922, the University used live sled dogs as its mascot, first a non-hereditary line of Siberian Huskies and, beginning in 1961, a hereditary line of Alaskan Malamutes.. Not actually a husky and is a different breed of dog. Making them the only NCAA team to use a different animal than what their mascot is. [3] Due to the size of the animals, difficulties of travel logistics and handler schedules, the mascots would generally only appear at home football games.
In 1995, officials in the University's athletic department commissioned a costume and held tryouts for the new live mascot. Three student performers were chosen (Lee Harris, Evelyn Ho and Chris MacDonald) and rotated duties to appear as a secondary mascot for use at events at which the live mascot was unable to attend. A contest and public vote two years later named the new mascot "Harry the Husky." [4] Coincidentally, the mascot had already been referred to by that name during a scene in The Sixth Man, a film starring Marlon Wayans about the University of Washington basketball team, that had been released prior to the vote.
In 2010, the University unveiled a new Harry the Husky costume and retired the old one. The new husky made his debut on October 9, 2010.[5]

Looks like a really interesting place to have a nose round,arnie. Had someone been cutting the garden grass,I wonder? It looks quite short.
yeah the windows bricked up...u can see in the house through a small hole in the roof...im still checking this place out at mo...cant find much info on it...but i did hear there MOD have got there hands on it for training....
I thought all of Hopwas Woods was a military training area , when I have moored the boat along that stretch there has always been a lot of activity.
some of the area is a firing range,if any one wants an aerial view of the site i
can send ..i have never seen any army in the woods in all my time up
there...heard of witches and such but that`s a different story i have more pics will get up soon

I used to past here every weekend on the way to my grandparents many years ago when the barracks was fully active and the ranges well used. The land surrounding the woods and the woods themselves were used for close combat scenarios and the road used to close whilst the armoured divison crossed it in there tanks etc. (made the visit to the GP's exciting at least).
Did a sponsored assault course there a few years later and the army trained us and acted as support for the event.
Later, once the place unwound the woods became a regular haunt of a local coven.....
A Photographer strolling through woods once frequented by an occult group stumbled across a mysterious find - two knives sticking up out of the ground.
Curious Paul Cox, of Nursery Lane, made the bizarre discovery during his regular early morning walk through Hopwas Woods.
"My usual route takes me over a canal bridge and into the woods near to an old World War II pillbox," he explained.
"I glanced over my shoulder and spotted some plastic bags scattered near a small tree.
"Curiosity got the better of me and I began to investigate. I was not prepared for what I found."
Expecting to see more litter and rubbish, Mr Cox was taken aback by what he saw. Two large knives, standing side by side, their blades plunged into the ground.
"The irresponsible person who left these knives obviously had no intention of hiding them," Mr Cox said this week.
"This hasn't put me off enjoying the very beautiful scenery at Hopwas Woods, but I do wonder how long places like this will be available to us and what state it will be in the future."
Hopwas Woods - 365 acres of woodland which has parts dating back to the time of the Domesday Book - has been the topic of many a spooky tale.
In 1984, local farmer Richard Barnes alerted police to some strange goings on. Officers found 16 men and women - originally believed to be witches - dancing naked around a fire, performing a midnight ritual.
As the story broke in the Herald and went on to make national headlines, the 'witches' were exposed as serious occultist group, Silver Star, who had been meeting in the woods for 14 years.
I will get that Canon IS USM F/2.8 400mm lens. Any donations accepted
Nice shots dude! Trust you to be on some sort of military training ground!
And there is nothing quite like a bit of dancing naked around a fire is there!
My dogs name is 'Coven'!
Havn't done it for a while, but I will take you word for it.
Crackin name for a dog.
Off topic.......
My wife had a cat when she left home at 16 and called it Minge (I know, we were all a lot younger then), anyhow, when she returned home a few years later the cat went with her and her very old school father used to call it in in the evening. Many bemused neighbours seeing a 70 year old man standing in the back garden shouting "Minge". Needless to say we never let on.
I will get that Canon IS USM F/2.8 400mm lens. Any donations accepted
yeah the knife thing was in my local paper i read the article on it. i go up the
woods a lot these days and never came across the military. i do know of the
firing ground a distance from where i was.. i Also found out to day my mate
auntie used to own this house. he told me of the stories of him growing up. up
there on the weekend on motor bikes and such...his aunty died but he does no

Renal function Free
Renal function, in nephrology, is an indication of the state of the kidney and its role in renal physiology. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. Creatinine clearance rate (CCr or CrCl) is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine per unit time and is a useful measure for approximating the GFR. Creatinine clearance exceeds GFR due to creatinine secretion, which can be blocked by cimetidine. In alternative fashion, overestimation by older serum creatinine methods resulted in an underestimation of creatinine clearance, which provided a less biased estimate of GFR. Both GFR and CCr may be accurately calculated by comparative measurements of substances in the blood and urine, or estimated by formulas using just a blood test result (eGFR and eCCr).
- English
The results of these tests are important in assessing the excretory function of the kidneys. For example, grading of chronic renal insufficiency and dosage of drugs that are excreted primarily via urine are based on GFR (or creatinine clearance).
It is commonly believed to be the amount of liquid filtered out of the blood that gets processed by the kidneys. In physiological terms, these quantities (volumetric blood flow and mass removal) are related only loosely.
A commonly used surrogate marker for estimate of creatinine clearance is the Cockcroft-Gault formula, which in turn estimates GFR in ml/min: It is named after the scientists who first published the formula, and it employs serum creatinine measurements and a patient's weight to predict the creatinine clearance.

Farscape or Babylon 5?

Re: Farscape or Babylon 5?
Well, he obviously either a) doesn't find redemption or b) his redemption is saving Sheridan and delenn from himself at the end. I was really hoping the psychic woman was full of it. Having the actual future told seemed like an idiotic plot point. Also, I don't care that G'Kar kills Londo. What I do care about is knowing that Londo will never stop being an ally with the shadows until about 17 years after the events of B5, and only then after his world is trashed. He doesn't even have the opportunity to have a change of heart, which is all I want. Even if he ends up not learning his lesson, I atleast wanted the chance that he could turn from the dark path he set out on. Now, I know he definately won't. I really wish I had skipped these episodes. They were good, but not worth ruining Londo's story arc. Are there any other episodes that tell the future? I legitimately want to know, because I want to skip them (and I haven't wanted to skip any B5 until now). I'm actually pretty angry about this. If I wanted spoilers, I'd look online. I didn't know that some episodes of the actual show needed a spoiler warning

Linda Owens4 Stars Out Of 5Story broader based than titleOctober 6, 2014Linda OwensQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4Interesting multi-faceted story of life in a dry, barren land we traveled through many times in my youth. As an RN, I was fascinated by the way a severe epidemic of influenza was treated as the Army was transported through the area by train. (Not much different than the Ebola virus we are seeing today.) Implications of prejudice and rejection of others based on race and handicaps explored in a helpful way. Loved this story.

Was so surprised and delighted with this novel; I had not read this author before, so my expectations were not too high. But she exceeded them all! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!
TellNJasmineMontanaAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5You just can't beat a book with a quilt!December 11, 2012TellNJasmineMontanaAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I really enjoyed this story. It was a nice quiet read, perfect for relaxing on an afternoon or before bed.
I had to enjoy Meghan's enthusiasm and her ability to actually finish what she started, though, at times I agreed with Caleb and wanted to shake some sense into her when she kept leaping before she looked.
I wish we could still find doctors who cared half as much as Doc. You really had to admire his patience, love, and hard work on behalf of his patients. I was very impressed with his devotion!
Another character we should all try to be more like was Natalie. Her love and determination to help and take care of her husband's family was very admirable. Her loyalty and friendship to Meghan were a very precious thing. I would love to someday read a book of Natalie's own.
Ms. Vetsch did a wonderful job in engaging the reader's emotions. I felt disappointed, angry, and excited with Meghan and Caleb. At times I just wanted to slap Mrs. Gregory, she was just SO unfair!
While reading about the El Garces (Harvey) Hotel and all the wonderful girls being trained into their jobs, I kept having scenes from the 1946 movie The Harvey Girls starring Judy Garland. Ms. Vetsch has captured that nostalgic quality that seems to have disappeared from books and movies these days.
One of the highlights for me was the matter-of-fact descriptions of the influenza epidemic. Many authors will skirt over the illness they are writing about so it was nice to have, not only the emotional response, but a description of the physical cause for those emotions.
By the way, you will want to read this one with a tall glass of cold lemonade. Needles is hot and Ms. Vetsch has done a good job making her readers feel the desert heat!
All in all this was a great read and I will be looking for more books by Erica Vetsch.
I give A Bride Sews With Love In Needles California 5 Stars
You just can't beat a book with a quilt!

New interest rate saves us $500,000
By securing a new interest rate on one of its future debt accounts, Alexandria District 206 School Board has saved taxpayers about $500,000.
During Monday night's school board meeting, the board approved "Refunding of 2008 Debt Issuance" to cover the district's future debt service of $6.3 million.
The new interest rate approved came in at 3.19 percent, compared to the old interest rate of 6.87 percent.

peaf leaf disease/fungus?
Three out of the four pear bench grafts I did this past dormant season are doing really well, pushing past 18" now and looking good. They had some issues with misshapen or curled leaves early on but seemed to have gotten past that as the weather has warmed a little.
Not so the Seckel. It remains runty and it's leaves do not look healthy:
(sorry about the blur...)
I've sprayed a few times with Serenade but not regularly. It seems to have stopped growing. Maybe the graft has failed or is just really tenuous, but the leaves sure do look like something is going on there.
Any suggestions from those who know pears?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a shot, maybe keep the plant out of the sun for a couple of days afterwards just to be sure. I'd feel better if it were at least growing like the others. That's what scares me the most.
(guess I need to watch my "magic fingers" better; whatever a "peaf" is......!)

If you have a infected batch can you wash the yeast and use it again or will the infection stay in the yeast and infect the next batch?
Chances are you're not going to get all of the bacteria/wild yeast out of the slurry. By "washing" I assume you don't mean using acid to wash the yeast but rather the standard sterile water rinse that is described?

LONDON (Reuters) - The first regenerative medicine based on stem cells could be filed for approval in Europe later this year, bringing the groundbreaking medical technology a step closer to reality.
The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) said on Wednesday it had been informed about the "intent of a European manufacturer to submit the first application for marketing authorization for a stem cell-based product."
Drugmakers typically send a letter of intent to the London-based watchdog four to six months before a formal application, a spokeswoman said, so this would imply a filing toward the end of 2010.
The EMEA declined to name the company involved.
In preparation for the first of a possible wave of applications, officials from the EMEA met this week with drug company officials, regulators from the United States and Japan, and academic scientists to discuss guidelines for approving such treatments.
Research into stem cells has increased dramatically in recent years and there are currently some 40 clinical trials underway in the European Union exploring the use of stem cells to regenerate lost or damaged tissues and tackle various cancers. The majority use adult mesenchymal stem cells.
Stem cells -- which are particularly flexible when taken from days-old embryos -- are the body's master cells and can potentially be used to repair the heart, spinal cord, liver, pancreas, eyes and other parts of the body.
But their use is controversial and involves risk -- notably the danger that foreign cells might be rejected or could proliferate uncontrollably, leading to tumors.
To address some of these issues, the EMEA has drafted a "reflection paper" on the process for approving stem cell-based therapies, which will be finalized by the end of 2010.
"Stem cells hold the promise of an unlimited source of cells for therapeutic applications to treat patients who have no or only unsatisfactory treatment options," said Christian Schneider, chairman of the agency's Committee for Advanced Therapies.
"However, these therapies bear certain risks, such as tumourgenicity and immunorejection, and hence need to be carefully regulated with the input from multi-disciplinary expertise."
For many investors, stem cells remain off the radar screen for now after early excitement about the science was followed by delays and disappointments in the clinic.
But companies pioneering the technology have not given up and a growing number of large pharmaceutical companies are also starting to dip their toes in the water.
Believers see a parallel between the evolution of stem cell treatment and monoclonal antibodies. Antibody technology was first developed in the 1970s but it is only recently that such drugs have become blockbusters.
Among listed companies, Britain's ReNeuron is about to start the world's first stroke trial using foetal stem cells, while U.S.-based Geron hopes to restart a study using embryonic cells to treat spinal cord injuries in the third quarter of 2010.
Any stem cell treatment filed with the EMEA later this year could, in theory, become commercially in 2011.
The agency's scientific committee has instructions to issue an opinion within 210 days of receiving an application, or 120 days in the case of an accelerated procedure, although this regulatory clock can be stopped if more information is needed.

Can I use Zinsser Bullseye Latex Primer?
suel41452March 13, 2014
I just finished spending days scrubbing off all specks of the wallpaper paste on the walls of our 50 sq. ft. bath with 50-50 white vinegar-water solution, rinsed well & dried thoroughly. I was just about to paint on the Zinser Bullseye latex primer when I saw a youtube video. This man said you must use an oil based primer because all the paste probably didn't come off. Any advice? Thanks for any help!!

Constructed for the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad, the Norwalk River Bridge is a 562-foot long rim bearing swing bridge. Sitting about 16 feet above the water, the bridge's 202 foot long center deck rotates along a center point to allow marine traffic to pass. When opening, rail locks are released, the rail ends are lifted, catenary wire is separated, wedge locks are withdrawn, and bridge locks are released. Only then can the machinery located at the center pier under the tracks can do its work to swing the bridge open. All of these delicate maneuvers need to happen in concert, which is difficult considering the age of the machinery involved. Also complicating matters for repairs is the fact that the old movable bridges on the Northeast Corridor are all unique – there was no standard for construction, and each bridge has unique mechanical components.
Bridges of Metro-North: The Harlem River Lift Bridge
Today we feature the busiest bridge on the entire system, the Harlem River Lift Bridge. At sixty years old the bridge is not nearly as old as the issue-plagued WALK bridge, but it by far sees the most action, carrying nearly 700 trains per day for all three East of Hudson Metro-North lines. Over the past few months work has been moving along on the bridge – installing new cables that lift the tracks over the river for passing boats, and putting in new wiring, power supplies, and electrical control systems. Below the bridge a circuit breaker room that flooded during Hurricane Sandy and is experienced corrosion will be replaced. Gone will be an old crank control, updated to today's standards with modern computers. In total, the overhaul has a $47.2 million price tag.
The 1867 bridge over the Harlem River, note the construction of a temporary bridge to allow a new 1891 span to be constructed on the main line. Image from the December 1892 Scientific American.
Historically, several previous movable bridges stood at this very spot, carrying the New York Central over the Harlem River. The first bridge over the river was completed in 1841, and stood a mere eight feet over the water at high tide. Made of wood, that bridge was later updated with iron spans in 1867. Later, a four track swing bridge was built in 1891. This bridge connected with the new Park Avenue viaduct, raising the tracks above Harlem and allowing a higher crossing over the river.
Grand Central's Honor Roll – The New York Central Medal of Valor
The concept of the plaque you'll find today in Vanderbilt Hall dates back to the '20s, and Vanderbilt heir and railroad executive Harold Stirling Vanderbilt (son of William Kissam, great-grandson of the Commodore, and the last Vanderbilt to work for the New York Central Railroad). Vanderbilt's idea was to award a medal to employees of the railroad that had exhibited an act of extraordinary heroism. The idea led to the formation of a committee to review nominations of heroism, which would be forwarded to the railroad's vice-presidents and president for final decision. Recipients would be awarded a bronze medal – The New York Central Medal of Valor – designed by sculptor Robert Aitken, presented in a leather case, along with a special pin that could be always worn on the lapel, and have their names recorded on the "Honor Roll" plaque. Awards would be presented yearly, with the first awarding in 1927, when fifteen men were honored by New York Central Railroad president Patrick E. Crowley. At least 114 people were presented with the medal, including one woman, and one man who received the award twice.
Though the award was only established in 1927 (for acts performed in the 1926 calendar year), men like Henry Nauman of Hammond, Indiana were likely the reason for its founding. Nauman was the 1924 recipient of the Carnegie Medal from the Carnegie Hero Fund after saving a woman that had walked under the crossing gates and in front of an approaching locomotive. Nauman, the crossing watchman, ran the 25 feet to the woman and pushed her across the track, preventing her from being hit – an act for which he received the Carnegie Medal. No stranger to courageous acts, Nauman again acted when a woman stepped under the lowered crossing gates and in front of an oncoming train. Nauman attempted to pull her to safety, but they were both hit by the locomotive. Sadly, the woman died from her injuries, while Nauman had to have his crushed leg amputated. However, for his courageous act, Nauman received the railroad's new Medal of Valor, and the Carnegie Medal again – the first man to receive that award two times.
The Harlem Division's Cemeteries: The Hartsdale Pet Cemetery
Strangely enough, the railroad also played a part in the establishment of various cemeteries. As the city itself grew larger, not only did some former rural cemeteries get displaced, people with money wished to be interred in an attractive rural setting. Woodlawn Cemetery was established in 1863, and took in the remains of cemeteries displaced in the city proper, and grew to become a venerable place of final rest for thousands. Such growth was undoubtedly assisted by the nearby railroad, easily allowing loved ones to visit the graves of their friends and family. Further north along the Harlem Division, the Kensico Cemetery was also established as a beautiful, rural final resting place. Truly appealing to the wealthy of the city, Kensico offered a private railcar for rent for funerals which would transport people directly from Grand Central to the cemetery's very own train station.
Though Woodlawn and Kensico may be the two most commonly known cemeteries that owe their growth to the Harlem Railroad, there is another slightly more unique cemetery that also falls into that category – the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery. Just like its brethren, the Hartsdale cemetery has seen gun salutes, bagpipers, and is the final resting place for thousands of friends – however the majority of them just happen to not be human. Buried within its grounds you'll find the graves of war dogs, police dogs (including at least one MTAPD K9), a search and rescue dog that lost its life on September 11th, thousands of other cats and dogs, humans that opted for their cremains to be interred together with their beloved pets, and even a lion. It is also home to the War Dog Memorial, celebrating the animals that fought alongside their human handlers in the Great War.
Meet TIM – Metro-North's new credit card enabled Ticket Issuing Machine
I got a chance to check out one of these new machines, and must admit they are quite cool. Slim and light compared to the previous TIMs, these new machines are essentially tricked-out iPhones running special software. Wrapped in a blue Metro-North case, the TIM contains an LED barcode scanner (used for scanning the barcode on IDs of delinquents that have neither tickets nor money) and a swipe for credit cards. The special software installed on the phone not only allows conductors to sell tickets, but it also "locks down" the iPhone, preventing it from downloading apps, reading email, and all the other things you wouldn't want a conductor to do while on duty.
The new Metro-North TIM and printer
Similar to the previous TIM, the new TIM connects wirelessly to a printer that can be hung from the belt. This printer provides the customer with a receipt for the ticket they bought. It also provides the conductor at the end of the day a receipt that lists how much they've sold, and further breaks that down into cash tickets sold (which needs to be turned in to Metro-North), and how much was sold by credit.
While the majority of Metro-North riders are conditioned to purchase their tickets before boarding, there remains several stations on the Danbury and Waterbury Branches that do not have platform ticket vending machines or ticket sellers. It is there that the new TIM will likely be most welcome. But for those people that race to catch a train and aren't able to purchase a ticket before boarding, being able to use a credit card is a great convenience.
The new TIM features an LED barcode scanner, and a swipe for credit cards
Though much of the fanfare regarding the new TIM focuses on the ability to accept credit cards, it is worth mentioning that the new technology can help out quite a bit when it comes to customer service. One of the main complaints I hear are that customers on trains stuck in delays are not provided with enough information as to what is going on. What most don't realize, however, is that conductors are often not given information about what is happening. In fact, Metro-North's text alert system often provides customers with information that crews don't even know. Because the new TIM is essentially a cell phone, the potential is there to use it to notify conductors about issues – information that can then be relayed to the customers over the train's PA. Whether the technology will be used in this fashion remains to be seen, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.
Of course, one must remember that this is only a pilot program. However, I imagine that once the system's inevitable bugs are worked out, credit card enabled TIMs will soon be popping up on more lines and trains.

A visit to the restored Santa Fe Depot, Fort Worth, Texas
As the somewhat clichéd song lyrics go, "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot." In the case of the former rail station we're visiting today, that almost happened – literally. The beautiful Santa Fe station in Fort Worth, Texas, was almost razed and turned into a parking lot. Thankfully, the property was purchased by real estate investor and developer Shirlee Gandy. After investing over two million into the building to properly restore it, it was reopened as the Ashton Depot, a lovely banquet hall that hosts weddings, corporate events, and other such festivities.
Opened in 1899, the depot was constructed in the beaux-arts style, though the design was undoubtedly influenced by the aesthetic of the southwest. The two-story rectangular building is constructed of bright red brick and detailed with white limestone. Fine details can be found on both the exterior and interior, including several lion heads that surround the building, and attractive plaster design work surrounding the inside archway.

Built for the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, the building was generally known as the Santa Fe depot. Several other railroads had used the building, but by 1960 the Santa Fe was the only railroad that remained. Once Amtrak was formed, it was the sole user for passenger service up until 1995.
Farewell to New Haven Union Station's Solari Departure Board
Years ago an announcement was made that the Solari split-flap departure board would be disappearing from New Haven Union Station. Despite pleas to Connecticut's Department of Transportation, the decision was made and would not be changed.
Although it survived longer than we thought it would, the board was unfortunately replaced last week. Here is a short timelapse to remember it by…

#GEInstaWalk – Touring GE's rail locomotive production facility, Fort Worth, Texas
It's not every day that a railfan gets to visit the place where mighty railroad locomotives are born (forged of steel and bound together by lots and lots of welding)… Recently, however, I got an invite to tour GE's new locomotive manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Right now they're producing the Evolution Series Tier 3 locomotive (ES44C4) for BNSF, and I got an up close and personal view of the process from start to finish. The entire locomotive creation process takes about 60 days, and the facility had various locomotives in all stages of that process. Every week six locomotives are completed… six gleaming, shiny powerhouses…
My invite to GE Manufacturing Solutions came with their #GEInstaWalk program – which opens some of GE's state-of-the-art facilities to Instagram photographers and fans. This was the third InstaWalk to be held, the first being at GE Aviation's jet engine testing facility in Peebles, OH, and the second was to see the two GE wind turbines at the Cape Cod Air Force Facility in Massachusetts. Each event was a unique opportunity for the attendees to get a VIP experience "behind-the-scenes" of some amazing technology.
H.H. Richardson's Last Station – New London Union Station
When it comes to great American architects, one must certainly mention the name Henry Hobson Richardson. Richardson's name may not be as widely mentioned as some others – likely because he unfortunately passed in his prime at the age of 47 – but his influence in American architecture is obvious. The architectural style he popularized bears his name – Richardsonian Romanesque – and is certainly one of my favorite architectural styles. The style features attractive arches and rusticated stonework – and is familiar to fans of the Boston and Albany Railroad, the style in which many of that railroad's main line stations were designed.
Most of the Richardsonian Romanesque stations we've featured on the site – Chatham, Dobbs Ferry, Hartford, Irvington, and Tarrytown – were designed by the firm of Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge, Richardson's three assistants who continued the business after his death. The station we're visiting today, however, was Richardson's final station design. New London's Union Station was conceived in 1885 – one year before Richardson's death. Construction was not completed until one year after his death in 1887.

Although New London Union Station strays a bit from the typical Richardsonian Romanesque style as it is constructed primarily of brick, the characteristic arches, detailing, and occasional swaths of rusticated stone can be found. Bricks radiate outwards from the arches, creating a sunburst effect, and alternating exposed bricks create detailed borders around the top. Completing the detailing of the station is a wide band above the entrance, labeling the building "Union Railroad Station." The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad was the station's primary occupant (having leased the Shore Line Railway in 1870), though the station was built in conjunction with the Central Vermont Railroad (which had leased the New London Northern Railroad) making it a Union Station.
Arts for Transit in Brooklyn – Exploring the J Line
Continuing my exploration in search of attractive glasswork on the New York City subway leads me to Brooklyn and the J Line. Though a few of the works installed on the line are currently undergoing conservation, there are plenty of stations still worth visiting with attractive art. While some of the stations we visited in the Bronx had only a few panels of art, several of the J line stations have art on a significant scale – Broadway Junction, for example, has a total of 75 faceted glass panels.
Today we'll be visiting three stations on the line – Van Siclen Avenue, Broadway Junction, and Chauncey Street – to check out the Arts for Transit. We'll start at Van Siclen Avenue – the furthest station from Manhattan that currently has glasswork on display…
Van Siclen Avenue
Artist: Barbara Ellmann
Title: The View From Here
Bold, bright colors await you on the platform of Van Siclen Avenue. Influenced by the geometric shapes visible from the platform – buildings, windows, doors, brickwork – the landscape has been rendered into an abstract geometric view that splashes the concrete of the platform with color. Twenty-one faceted glass panels serve as windscreens spread along the station's entire elevated platform.

Meteora's ancient monasteries
Few countries are as adept as Greece is at creating buildings that enrich, rather than detract from, the natural landscape. That skill reaches its zenith among the fabulous monasteries of Meteora, a series of holy fortresses perched atop seemingly inaccessible sandstone pinnacles. Inhabited for over 1,000 years, the buildings are an act of imagination the equal of any fantasist, an inspirational testament to faith, and a historic lynchpin of Hellenic culture. Steep staircases hewn from the rock lead up, and up, to each monastery, a breathless task, but one that is amply rewarded by exploration of the meditative interiors of the buildings, and of the widescreen views out to the town of Kalambaka, Penios River, and the Pindos Mountains beyond.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Her story is like so many other women in her nation. She married a rich, elderly man at the age of 10. Her husband was later killed by a jealous nephew, she claims.
The nephew, named Amanullah, killed her husband before asking her for her hand in marriage. He then left Kabul for Pakistan, but returned three years later to the mother's home.
When she opened the door, Amanullah reportedly threw the acid in her face, leaving her with horrific scars.
"On the night my husband was killed I was overwhelmed with grief. Amanullah came and asked me if I wanted to remain a widow until I die or whether I wanted to marry him," she told Voice of America. "He promised to give me money and look after me.
"Three years after the death of my husband I heard a knock on the door. In my heart I thought he has comeback to apologize for his actions. He immediately threw acid in my face. It felt like my face was on fire."
Akhtara has been unable to find work to support her four children since the attack and is forced to beg in order to support her children. Her family often goes without, surviving on a diet of bread and tea.
The United Nations General Assembly has launched its International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
"Violence against women and girls directly affects individuals while harming our common humanity," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said.
He welcomes leaders who are helping enforce anti-violence laws while paying tribute to those who help victims.
UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka urged world leaders to "mount a response that is proportionate to the violence threatening the lives of women and girls.
"We need education in schools that teaches human rights and mutual respect, and that inspires young people to be leaders for equality," she added.

I'd agree with Call of Duty and Battlefield, but I think that it is very appropriate in the case of Tomb Raider. I feel that the way that added skills fits in well with the story of a girl who has been forced under foreign circumstances. She is adapting to the life she has to lead during her journey and, as such, she hones skills that were previously nonexistent. If the level system hadn't been added, I don't really see any of the things that the skills add being in the game, and I think it works well to make the player feel more like s/he is Lara, and as they gain experience, they learn how to cope with the environment and the circumstances they are given.
Even if they aren't necessary in some cases, they don't really do anything to hinder the experiences most of the time (though this isn't the case with Online FPS that use them, like Call of Duty and Battlefield, where they are a rather large part of the game), which is why I wouldn't go so far as to say they shouldn't be there. In many games if you don't like them you can ignore them entirely (ie Tomb Raider).
