Bronx River Right-of-Way Would Transform a Historic Train Station into a Waterfront Hub
As part of the redevelopment of the Bronx River Greenway, SLO Architecture has proposed the transformation of a disused train station into an innovative two-part project for the Bronx River. Called the Bronx River Right-of-Way, the project would give new life to a disused historic structure built in the 1930s by architect Cass Gilbert. The project would divide the train station into two parts – a headhouse that would become an entryway into the park and a waiting room that could be made into a boathouse for kayakers.
Designed by Amanda Schachter and Alexander Levi, the Bronx River Right-of-Way was inspired by the duo's interest in re-enlivening the Bronx. The pair saw the historic significance of the abandoned station, which was designed by Cass Gilbert (most famous for designing the beautiful Woolworth Building in Lower Manhattan). Aiming to preserve the historic gem and redirect attention to it, SLO's project also amps up the park area surrounding the train track to draw in more visitors.
The transformation of the headhouse into the park entryway will connect the adjacent neighborhood to the park with a bridge that hovers over the railroad tracks, giving cyclists and pedestrians easy access to the grounds. The waiting room will be kept intact, and moved several yards away onto the Bronx River waterfront where it will serve as a visitor's hub with bike rentals, public restrooms, kayak docking and a space for Parks Department maintenance.
If approved, the proposal would be funded in part by a grant from the James Marston Fitch Foundation, creating a new outdoor hub for the Bronx that also preserves a relic from an architectural great.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now

Chairman "very confident" on restructuring by year end; "Good percentage" of banks signed up to restructuring plan; Nakheel planning expansion of retail business; Nakheel repaid trade creditors $925.9 million.
October 3, 2010 4:19 by Reuters
Nakheel is in preliminary talks to list an Islamic bond, part of its restructuring plan, on Nasdaq Dubai and a "good percentage" of banks have agreed to the developer's repayment plan, its chairman said on Sunday.
Ali Rashid Lootah said he was "very confident" the builder of islands in the shape of palms will complete the restructuring by the end of the year.
"It is on the way. We have achieved a good percentage," Lootah said told reporters when asked about banks' agreement on the plan.
"We are in the final stages of negotiation and we are confident we will reach an agreement in the near future."
Under Nakheel's restructuring plan, trade creditors have been offered 40 percent of what they are owed in cash and the remaining 60 percent through a sukuk, or Islamic bond.
Conglomerate Dubai World has near-unanimous approval for its $24.9 billion debt plan, it said in September. But Nakheel — its flagship property arm undergoing parallel negotiations — has yet to secure backing needed for the plan.
An industry executive said on Tuesday he expected the sukuk to be worth around 6 billion dirhams ($1.63 billion).
"We are just doing a preliminary talk and preliminary investigation," Lootah said on Sunday when asked if the company had applied to list the bond on the Nasdaq Dubai exchange.
Dubai contractor Arabtec's chief financial officer Ziad Makhzoumi said late last month that Nakheel had applied for the listing on Nasdaq Dubai.
Nakheel said it has already repaid trade creditors 4.6 billion dirhams as part of the plan.
Lootah's comments on the restructuring affirmed the time-frame for completion of the deal that Nakheel chief executive Chris O'Donnell gave in late September.
Nakheel said it has about 85 percent of acceptances, by value, for its debt restructuring and was "well on target to achieve its 95 percent acceptance of all payables and claims within the near future."
Nakheel has recently announced the restart of several projects and expects to start building again on all-short term projects by the end of October.
Lootah said on Sunday Nakheel would look to expand its retail business with the expansion of its Dragonmart mall and possibly Ibn Battuta mall in Dubai early next year as it looks to boost its revenues.
"We have to enhance Nakheel financially and look for new cash. This is the best option to have fresh cash."
Lootah did not say how much retail space the company would add.

All told, the collection contains an estimated 2,700 books and tens of thousands of documents that once belonged to the Jews of Baghdad, who, until they began to flee for Israel in the wake of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, constituted one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world, dating back more than 2,500 years. - In the chaos of the 2003 war, remnants of a once-thriving Jewish past were saved (or stolen?) by America.

I get up in the morning and ask: What if?
"I get up every morning at 5, go for a half-hour walk in the desert, come home and have a cup of coffee, sit down at the desk and ask myself what I would say if I were him, and what I would do if I were her. I think curiosity is actually a moral virtue. I think a person who is curious is slightly more moral than one who is not curious, because sometimes he enters into the skin of another. I think a curious person is even a better lover than one who is not curious. Even my political approach to the Palestinian question, for example, sprang from curiosity. I am not a Middle East expert or a historian or a strategist. I simply asked myself, at a very young age, what it would be like if I were one of them.

Digging our history
Take a walk through some historical sites in the Pilbara.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Long before the iron ore trains dotted the Pilbara horizon and before mines, gas plants, and dongas became the norm, the Pilbara was just a remote place barely on the radar of most Australians.
Now the region is home to some of the biggest mining operations on Earth and often referred to as the engine room of Australia.
Have you ever wondered who built the Pilbara into what it is?
What mining was like without the modern technology?
What the towns looked like and how people coped?
Throughout 2011/12 Scott Lamond has been sharing some of these stories of the past with the help of long time locals Arnold Carter and Skipper Brad.
These are some of the highlights from when Arnold Carter took you to historical locations around Port Hedland.
Take a walk to the old railway station which was home to steam powered trains over 100 years ago.
Visit Don Roads Mining Museum which has an impressive outdoor showcase of the pioneering years of the mining industry.
Get as close as you can to Muddy Bay and discover the cultural significance for the area.
Cool off in the spit baths which was the place to cool off in the 1960's with nothing separating you from the sharks except a barbed wire fence.
Visit the century old Tree of Knowledge and find out why locals refer to it that way. Even learn more about an old meatworks.

BACHELOR IN PARADISE Ranks No. 1 in Time-Slot in Key Women
"Bachelor in Paradise" (8:00-10:00 p.m. - 4.8 million and 1.3/5 in AD18-49):
Night 2 of ABC's "Bachelor in Paradise" 2-night event held steady from the previous night in both Total Viewers and Adults 18-49, while growing in Adults 18-34 (+10% - 1.1/5 vs. 1.0/4) and Women 18-34 (+6% - 1.7/6 vs. 1.6/5). In addition, "Bachelor in Paradise" ranked No. 1 in its 2-hour time slot in Women 18-34 (1.7/6) and Women 18-49 (1.9/6-tie).
A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 49% currently, from 48% at the same point in 2013. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen

His method is so accessible that it is easy to learn and to retain new concepts and to remember my French learned long ago. I feel much more confident than I did before using these audio sessions.
I found this recording very helpful as I am an intermediate French speaker and it was a great review of some of the more basic verbs like pouvoir, avoir and vouloir. It would also be helpful for beginners who want to grasp some of the basics before travelling.

It is true that if you stay at any of the Universal hotels you get front of the line access. Honestly, I wouldn't bother going without that access. They do "Fastpass" better than anyone (sad to say). If you get up for opening, you can honestly do the whole Islands of Adventure park within 4.5 hours... it's a truly wonderful break if you have had your fill of waiting 90 minutes for Peter Pan. This is how it works:Originally Posted by kcnole
Each member of the party has to get a room key that includes the check-in, check-out days. If you stay overnight, you'll be able to get front of the line access 2 days. They have these lanyards that you can wear right around your neck with the room key, park pass, and some money. It's the best way to go because you won't have to check anything into individual lockers before thrill rides (IOF and US don't let you take anything past the queue entrance). But anyway, they are constantly running specials, and you can do both parks sometimes, especially through AAA, sometimes for $100, 2 people, 2 days, both parks. Royal Pacific is beautiful, has a wonderful lobby, and is most affordable of the three resorts. Hard Rock is also great, nice room size and a great pool. And Portofino is gorgeous, has absolutely amazing beds, but is on the pricey side (in the WDW Deluxe resort range).
If you aren't a coaster person, a trip over to Universal Studios is really worth it... Men in Black is great, kind of like Buzz SpaceRanger Spin but maybe better. Jaws is fun but a little dated. E.T has a really great scheme to it as well. But for a great ride, The Mummy is wonderful.
As everyone else has said, Spiderman over at Islands might be one of the best rides in any park, anywhere. I hope this info helps.

Picture: Zachary Levi Disney's 'Tangled' Los Angeles Premiere at the El Capitan Theatre - arrivals Hollywood, California 14.11.10
Zachary Levi, the 30-year-old American actor who recently completed work on Disney's new animated movie 'Tangled', says he has high hopes for the film and is 'proud' of everyone who worked on the project, reports the Vancouver Sun. Levi voiced the character of 'Flynn Ryder' for the 3D movie which is a contemporary adaptation of the 'Rapunzel' fable, about a girl with 70 feet of hair who is imprisoned in a tower.
Discussing the film, Levi said, "I am proud of Tangled. Not just of me, but everybody involved with it", before revealing his love for Mandy Moore's 'Rapunzel', saying, "Between the freckles and the giant green eyes and the overwhelming enthusiasm and purity of heart, I was swooning. The first time I saw the movie, I was like, 'Gosh, I wish she was real'". 'Tangled' looks set to become Levi's biggest movie to date, however, he did have a role in 2006's 'Big Momma's House 2' but when speaking about his character Levi says, "I don't even remember my name in that movie". When asked about whether he will star in the forthcoming 'Chipmunks 3D' film, the actor was unsure, saying, "I don't know. Nobody's called me about it."
Levi says getting to work on 'Tangled' was a dream come true, adding, "I was such a huge fan of Disney animated musicals. Now I get to sing and act in one, so check it off my bucket list". The film hit cinemas in the US on November 24th 2010 and will be released in the UK on 28th January 2011.

Introduction to Microsoft MFC Windows Programming Windows MFC Programming: ? The Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) The Application/Window Library Approach ? A Hierarchy of C++ classes designed to facilitate Windows programming ? Additional notes at: ? An alternative to using Win32 www.cs.binghamton.edu/~reckert/360/class14.htm API functions ? A Visual C++ Windows application can use either Win32 API, MFC, or both Microsoft Foundation Classes ? About 200 MFC classes (versus 2000+ API functions) ? Provide a framework upon which to build Windows applications ? Encapsulate most of the Win32 API in a set of logically organized classes Some characteristics of MFC MFC Characteristics, continued ? 1. Convenience of reusable code: ? 2. Produce smaller executables: – Many tasks common to all Windows apps are provided by MFC – Typically 1/3 the size of their API counterparts – Our programs can inherit and modify this ? 3. Can lead to faster program development: functionality as needed – But there's a steep learning curve-- – We don't need to recreate these tasks – Especially for newcomers to object -oriented – MFC handles many clerical details in Windows programming programs 1 MFC Characteristics, continued Help on MFC Classes ? See Online Help (Index) on: ? 4. MFC Programs must be written in C++ "MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class)" and require the use of classes " Hierarchy Chart " – Programmer must have good grasp of: " Hierarchy Chart " • How classes are declared, implemented – Each class name is a hot link (instantiated), extended, overridden, and used – At bottom each has a "Class Members" link • Encapsulation • Clicking ? a document that lists all class members • Inheritance ? On the Web: • Polymorphism http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en- us/vcmfc98/html/_mfc_class_library_reference_introduction.asp Base MFC Class Some Important Derived Classes ? CObject: At top of hierarchy ("Mother of almost all MFC classes") ? CFile: Support for file operations ? Provides features like: ? CArchive: Works with CFile to facilitate – Serialization serialization and file I/O • Streaming object's persistent data to or from a storage medium ? CDC: Encapsulates the device context (disk reading/writing) – Runtime class information (Graphical Drawing) – Diagnostic & Debugging support ? CGdiObject: Base class for various drawing – Some important macros objects (CBrush, CPen, CFont, etc.) ? All its functionality is inherited by any classes ? CMenu: Encapsulates menu management derived from it ? CCmdTarget: Encapsulates message passing ? CCmdTarget also parent of: process and is parent of: – CWinThread: Defines a thread of execution and – CWnd: Base class from which all windows are is the parent of: derived • CWinApp: Most important class dealt with in MFC – Encapsulates many important windows functions applications: and data members • Encapsulates an MFC application • Controls following aspects of Windows programs: – Example: m_hWnd stores the window's handle – Startup, initialization, execution, the message loop, – Most common subclasses: shutdown • CFrameWindow: Can contain other windows – An application should have one CWinApp object – ("normal" kind of window we've used) – When instantiated, application begins to run • CView: Encapsulates process of displaying and interacting with data – CDocument • Encapsulates the data associated with a program • CDialog: Encapsulates dialog boxes 2 MFC Classes and Functions ? Apps can also call API functions directly ? Primary task in writing MFC program--to create – Use Global Scope Resolution Operator (::), for classes example: ? Most will be derived from MFC library classes – ::UpdateWindow(hWnd ); ? MFC Class Member Functions-- ? Usually more convenient to use MFC – Most functions called by an application will be member functions members of an MFC class ? Examples: – ShowWindow( ) -- a member of CWnd class – TextOut ( ) -- a member of CDC – LoadBitmap( ) -- a member of CBitmap MFC Global Functions Some Important Global Functions ? Not members of any MFC class ? AfxAbort ( ) -- uconditionally terminate an app ? AfxBeginThread( ) -- Create & run a new thread ? Begin with Afx prefix (Application FrameworKS) ? AfxGetApp( ) -- Returns a pointer to the application object ? Independent of or span MFC class hierarchy ? AfxGetMainWnd( ) -- Returns a pointer to ? Example: application's main window – AfxMessageBox( ) ? AfxGetInstanceHandle( ) -- Returns handle to – Message boxes are predefined windows applications's current instance – Can be activated independently from the rest of ? AfxRegisterWndClass( ) -- Register a custom an application WNDCLASS for an MFC app A Minimal MFC Program Message Processing under MFC (App/Window Approach) ? Like API programs, MFC programs must handle messages from Windows ? Simplest MFC programs must contain two classes derived from hierarchy: ? API mechanism: switch/case statement in app's WndProc – 1. An application class derived from CWinApp • Defines the application ? Under MFC, WndProc is buried in MFC framework • provides the message loop ? Message handling mechanism: " Message Maps" – lookup tables the MFC WndProc searches – 2. A window class usually derived from CFrameWnd ? Table entries: • Defines the application's main window – Message number – Pointer to a message-processing function ? To use these & other MFC classes you must have: • These are members of CWnd #include <Afxwin.h> in the .cpp file • You override the ones you want your app to respond to 3 Message Mapping ? Programs must: – Declare message-processing (handler) functions • e.g., OnWhatever( ) for WM_WHATEVER message – Map them to messages app is going to respond to • Mapping done by "message- mapping macros" • Bind a message to a handler function • e.g., ON_WM_WHATEVER( ) ? Most MFC application windows use a window procedure, WndProc( ), supplied by the library ? Message maps enable library window procedure to find the function corresponding to the current msg STEPS IN WRITING A DECLARATIONS (.h) 1. Declare a window class derived from SIMPLE MFC PROGRAM CFrameWnd (e.g., CMainWin)-- (App/Window Approach) ? Class Members: – The constructor – Message-processing function declarations for messages the application will respond to • e.g., void OnChar( ) – DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP( ) macro: • Allows windows based on this class to respond to messages • Declares that a message map will be used to map messages to overriding handler functions in the application • Should be last class member declared IMPLEMENTATION (.CPP) 2. Declare an application class derived from 1. Define constructor for class derived from CWinApp (e.g., CApp)-- CFrameWnd (ourCMainWin) ? Must override CWinApp's InitInstance( ) ? Should call member function Create( ) to create the virtual function: window – Called each time a new instance of application ? Does what CreateWindow( ) does in API is started • i.e., when an object of this application class is 2. Define message map for class derived from instantiated CFrameWnd (our CMainWin)-- – Purpose is for application to initialize itself BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(owner, base) – Good place to put code that does stuff that has List of "message-mapping macros", e.g. to be done each time program starts ON_WM_CHAR( ) END_MESSAGE_MAP( ) 4 3. Define (implement) message-processing ? Now nature & form of simple window & functions declared in declarations (1) above application have been defined 4. Define (implement) InitInstance() overriding ? But neither exists -- function-- ? Must instantiate an application object ? Done in class derived from CWinApp (our CApp): – Should have initialization code for each new app instance: derived fromCWinApp (our CApp) • Create a CMainWin object ? pointer to program's main window – (Used to refer to the window, like hWnd in API programs) • Invoke object's ShowWindow( ) member function • Invoke object'sUpdateWindow( ) member function • Must return non-zero to indicate success – [MFC's implementation of WinMain() calls this function] 5. Create an instance of the app class (our CApp) ? Causes AfxWinMain( ) to execute ? After WinApp::Run( ) returns: – It's now part of MFC [WINMAIN.CPP] – (i.e., when the WM_QUIT message is received) ? AfxWinMain( ) does the following: ? AfxWinTerm( ) is called-- – Calls AfxWinInit( )-- – which cleans up and exits • which calls AfxRegisterClass( ) to register window class – Calls CApp::InitInstance( ) [virtual function overridden in 4 above]-- • which creates, shows, and updates the window – Calls CWinApp::Run( ) [In THRDCORE.CPP]-- • which calls CWinThread::PumpMessage( )-- • which contains the GetMessage( ) loop MSGNEW Example MFC ? Message map contains: – ON_WM_CHAR( ) Application: Mouse/Character – ON_WM_LBUTTONDOWN( ) Message Processing – ON_WM_RBUTTONDOWN( ) ? To respond to messages: ? User presses mouse button ? – WM_CHAR – WM_LBUTTONDOWN – L or R displayed at current mouse cursor – WM_RBUTTONDOWN position ? So we need to define the following handler ? Keyboard key pressed ? function overrides: – Character displayed at upper left hand corner of – CWnd::OnChar(UINT ch, UINT count, UINT flags); client area – CWnd::OnLButtonDown(UINT flags, CPoint loc); – CWnd::OnRButtonDown (UINT flags, CPoint loc); 5 Steps in Creating and Building an MFC ? In each handler we need to get a Device Context Application like MSGNEW "manually" to draw on: 1. "File" | "New" | "Project" CDC* pDC – Specify an empty Win32 project as in previous examples • Declare a pointer to a CDC object 2. "Project" | "Add New Item" pDC = this->GetDC( ); – Categories: "Visual C++" | "C++" • Use GetDC( ) member function of 'this' CWnd to get a device – Templates: "C++ File" context to draw on – Enter or copy/paste .cpp file text (e.g., MSGNEW.CPP)--see IMPLEMENTATION above ? And then display a string using TextOut( ) 3. "Project" | "Add New Item" | "Visual C++" | "C++" | " Header File " – If it's a character, it must be formatted into a string first – Enter or copy/paste .h file text (e.g., MSGNEW.H) --see DECLARATION above – Can use wsprintf( ) 4. "Project" | "Properties" | "General" (with msgnew highlighted in Solution • Formats integers, characters, and other data types into a string Explorer window): – From "Use of MFC", choose: – "Use MFC in a Shared DLL" 5. Build the project as usual How It Works CApp object is created ? MFC's WinMain( ) executes ? Registers class (default) Calls our CApp::InitInstance( ) ? Our override creates a CMainWin object Our CMainWin constructor calls Create( )? window created Our CApp::InitInstance( ) override calls window's ShowWindow( ) ? window is displayed Our override calls UpdateWindow( )? client area painted WinMain( ) continues by calling its Run( ) function ? Call to PumpMessage( ) Which starts the message loop 6

Baseball Unlimited Training CenterRead MoreWith a former Oakland Athletic and two ex-minor leaguers on staff, Baseball Unlimited Training Center is a safe haven to help young hitters, pitchers, and fielders take their skills to the next level. The 7,500-square-foot facility houses five separate hitting and pitching tunnels extending to 65 feet in length, suitable for practicing all baseball or softball pitches, except for spitballs or cannonballs. The center hosts ballplayers ranging from little leaguers to college players, who can each take part in camps and clinics or practice individually through batting-cage rentals in 30-minute allotments.55 Athletic Field Rd.Waltham, MA US
Sandlot Sports & EntertainmentRead MoreEscaping the hustle and bustle of city life usually means hopping on a plane or driving until skyscrapers shrink into the horizon. Sandlot Sports & Entertainment strives to change all that. Their staff maintains recreational facilities where families can enjoy much-deserved getaways, just without all the traveling. During summer months, members spend time on Sandlot's private, four-acre pond and beach area where they can avoid crowded city beaches and soak up alien messages coded into the sun's rays. Nearby, full-size football and soccer fields, baseball fields, and a performance stage play host to parties and special events. Sandlot uses those same venues during various children's camps throughout the summer, including musical theater camps and the popular Camp Sandlot—weeklong sessions of creative, educational, and athletic activities.56 North RdSandown, NH US
Maine Academy of Modern MusicRead MoreThe music programming at the nonprofit Maine Academy of Modern Music is designed to allow pupils to rock out to their favorite contemporary jams. During individualized lessons, teachers help students master the basics of rock instruments such as guitar, bass, drums, and more. From there, young rockers can enlist in one of the school's rock bands, where they'll learn to play alongside other musicians as a group. That, in turn, leads to performance opportunities, which the school sets up at renowned Portland venues like Bayside Bowl, Big Easy, Asylum, and the Old Port Festival. Bands also assemble at the school's rock camps, where attendees not only rehearse originals and covers but also learn rock history and take field trips to local radio stations. Besides its in-house opportunities, the academy's outreach programs also supply local schools with everything from private concerts to master classes to ensure everyone has access to quality music education.12 Revere StPortland, ME US

Pappas Golf & BaseballRead MoreMost people will never get the chance to play a round of golf at Augusta National. At Pappas Indoor Golf & Baseball, players can approximate that dream inside a trio of indoor golf simulators. The simulator screens replicate 230 courses in vivid detail, including Augusta and Scotland's Saint Andrews. The simulators share space with a well-rounded practice facility that includes a 1,600-square-foot putting green, 12 hitting bays, a short-game area, and a sand bunker. In areas designated for private lessons, PGA pro Bill Pappas polishes his clients' mechanics with the help of video swing-analysis equipment. Golfers aren?t the only athletes taking cuts at Pappas Indoor. The facility?s indoor batting cages let softball and baseball stars while away rainy days fine-tuning their swings or training pitching machines to feel human emotions.70 Princeton St.Chelmsford, MA US
Boston Athletic ClubRead MoreThe Athletic Club, located in a renovated warehouse at 653 Summer, has a variety of weight loss options beyond standard workout machines. Consult with their staff dietician about your unfortunate lard-only diet, and she can guide you towards the in-house restaurant for some healthy alternatives. Da Club (as it's known by clever patrons) offers classes like ?Group Kick? (martial arts and boxing), yoga, pilates, cycling classes, and the non-ancient art of ?Zumba?? a Latin/Merengue/Reggaeton dance-fitness fusion, or the new millennium?s answer to the 90s sensation of ?Cardio Funk?. Lovers of both fitness and dismemberment can partake in a ?Legs, Butts and Guts? toning class.653 Summer StBoston, MA US

For patients struggling with obesity, joint replacement and weight-loss surgery often go hand-in-hand. Yet for people with severe or morbid obesity – 75+ pounds of excess weight and a body mass index, or BMI, over 35 – the risks associated with joint replacement surgery are dramatically increased.

Can't use the tanner without it
Good mitt.
As good as a mitt can be. No seeping thru on the hand. Leaves an even tan and washes easily.
You definitely need the mitt to apply the liquid tan
A very good service which I have been using for the last 4 years.
saves your hands from getting stained
again have used this product before and have been satisfied with it
Easy to use
In terms of size - good but once applied a few times with the liquid tanning lotion the foam started to fluff in bits. It washed well.
Fabulous! Thank you!

38 year old man | Philadelphia, PA, USA | Seeking women 29-38 within 15 miles
Active within 1 hour
Totally overthinking the headline ...
So I'm giving this try ... primarily because my sister reminded me that I only have a few more years before my looks are completely gone so I best not waste any more time! Jokes aside, I guess it is about time I took a new approach. As for me, I've now lived here for a few years and am probably now at the point where I'd say I'm comfortable here in Philly. I grew up in a small town in the South and still possess a faint hint of an accent, a habit of calling people "ma'am" and "sir", I hold the door open for everyone, and have maintained a deep appreciation for the simple things. I have a job that I really love that provides a constant intellectual challenge. I love listening to music and playing sports, am a big history buff, enjoy reading, and visiting museums. I don't especially enjoy talking about myself, and I'm I'm pretty sure no one is going to write on their profile, "I'm not that smart, I'm pretty average at most things, and I have a mildly boring personality" so there seems little point in listing a typical set of adjectives. But I make it a point to refrain from speaking in cliche or acting like one. I am open-minded and enjoy learning new concepts/ideas/skills. I'm fortunate to be able to pick up most things fast, so I am easy to convince to start new hobbies. And if you are a friend of mine and have a child you can be pretty confident I'm going to get them a sweet, musically-related birthday present like little bongo drums or a Ramones onesie because I secretly hope they all play in band together one day. What I am looking for: I spend most of my day reading and writing so I very much appreciate a good conversation. I value intelligence and find myself drawn to those who are motivated and hard-working. I also love to learn new things and hope to meet someone with some cool things to share. I also hope to meet someone who likes to be active and adventurous yet can make the most out of the mundane.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports
Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Football, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Cats, Dogs
Music is my main thing. Likes include: The Clash, The Jam, The MC5, Led Zeppelin, Gram Parsons, Jack White, White Denim, A Giant Dog, TV on the Radio to name but a few. Mildly obsessed with Luther, Peep Show, The Wire, Breaking Bad
I read a lot though not usually for fun. The last fun book I read was "Something Happened"

Tracking Timber Through DW's Factory Floor
Our path jags at deliberate angles through a labyrinth of cavernous rooms, traversing large machines and steaming presses. We pass workstations where craftspeople perform detailed tasks, each augmenting work com- pleted by crewmembers back up the line. Some smile and nod as we look on, but not all are so affable. It's understandable, though. We arrived in midafternoon, and they still need to lean shoulders into their jobs to make today's quota. We're in the heart of DW's drum making operation to document how the company builds snare drums. Scanning the expansive high-ceilinged area, packed with industrial tooling and robotic machines, air ducts and ventilators going every which way, as motors hiss and buzz loudly around us, we realize this won't be the how-to article for weekend woodworkers we first envisioned.Shell Shaping.
The irony, of course, is that Drum Workshop wasn't much more than a tiny custom shop when John Good cut his first bearing edge back in the early '80s. We consider how the design of these mammoth proprietary machines that flank us in every direction are the manifestation of lessons Good learned while drilling and sanding shells by hand. Though the technology used has been refined to remarkable degrees since then, the actual steps taken in the process of building a snare drum haven't changed much. Here's how it works.Today we're making DW's bread-and- butter snare — a 14" x 5" Collector's Series Maple — which begins life on a stack of North American hard rock maple veneers resting in the vast warehouse (Fig. 1). Cut to 1/36th of an inch from responsibly forested logs, the sheets fill the air with a woody scent of fresh lumber. Workers arrive periodically to carry a sheaf of delicate-looking 4' x 8' sheets through a pair of industrial doors to our first stop in the manufacturing process.
We stand beside an industrial guillotine, which cuts the veneers to a uniform length and width. A worker manning the machine reads the work order for the next cut, makes proper adjustments to the guillotine, and drives the blade home (Fig. 2).
Our snare will be made of predominant- ly long-grain maple whose figuring runs horizontally across the shell. It will include inner reinforcement hoops to retain the drum's roundness. The shell's ten plies will include three sheets of plywood: a 2-ply inner, two 3-ply cores, and a 2-ply outer. Fresh-cut veneers are hauled straight from the guillotine onto a large workbench where plywood glue is rolled on (Fig. 3).
DW uses epoxy glue that becomes brittle when dried, which will help sound travel more efficiently through the final instrument. The veneer is stacked by hand, alternating the grain vertically and horizontally (Fig. 4).
This precarious looking stack of glued veneer is carried to the plywood press, which slowly clamps down onto the wood, apply- ing 3,100 pounds of pressure at 200 degrees (Fig. 5).
After three minutes, the press opens to reveal a fresh sheet of plywood, which cures for a few moments (Fig. 6) before mov- ing to a proprietary machine that cuts each sheet — inner, cores, and outer — to the final length of our drum (Fig. 7).
Up to now, the process has been straightforward. But our next stop seems almost alchemical — where mere plywood sheets are transformed into a recognizable drum shell. Here we meet José Campos, who has performed this procedure since 1998, when DW first purchased machinery to build its own shells. He looks fierce from a distance, but breaks into a broad smile when introduced, and explains how he and Good learned together how to roll plywood shells.
To demonstrate, he first lays down the outer plies on a flat surface, then sends the core veneers through a roller to apply heat-activated wood glue (a different formula from the glue used during the plywood process) to both sides (Fig. 8).
After the two core plies are laid onto the outer ply, the inner ply is placed on top of the stack (Fig. 9).
{pagebreak} He hand rolls this unwieldy plywood sandwich into a tube, making sure seams are staggered to assure structural integrity (Fig. 10), and pushes it into a hydraulic shell press (Fig. 11), where 2,600 pounds of pressure is applied to the wood at 200 degrees.
Six minutes later, he pulls out a shell. Admittedly, it isn't yet an aesthetically pristine thing of beauty, but is clearly destined to frame our snare drum. It goes directly into a room temperature hydraulic press — a proprietary process DW calls "cool tem- pering" — where the glue crystalizes and cures for several minutes. Afterward, all rough edges and hardened glue blobs are trimmed to reach the desired shell depth, and 6-ply reinforcement hoops are glued into the top and bottom inside the shell. Now we'll make it shine.
We accompany our shell through a set of double doors and into a room humming with the sound of electric sanders. One side is lined with cubbyholes, where workers wearing industrial respirators methodically sand shells inside and out with 240-grit sandpaper (Fig. 12).
The Finish Line
To reduce dust and keep sanding equipment clean, DW employs a wet finishing process, in which shells pass back and forth between sanding stations and the lacquer department. The outside of our shell receives a coat of primer, three coats of water-based clear coat, and a top coat. The inside is primed and cleared once, and the surface is sanded between each coat.
In the middle of the room is a profusion of trollies (DW calls them "travelers"). Long vertical arms sprout from their center shafts like tree limbs. Drum shells of all types hang from these arms, waiting to dry before moving on to the next step of production (Fig. 13). We check out special order drums custom made for Queen Cora Dunham and Neil Peart among the forest of shells (Fig. 14), before crossing the room to a high-tech drilling machine, encased within a clear Plexiglas enclosure (Fig. 15).
Inside is a round pyramid of graduated platforms that resembles a flattened layer cake, with each step proportioned to fit snugly inside a specifically sized shell. Hovering above it is a robotic arm tipped by a circle of multiple drill bits. It appears to come straight from the set of a science fiction movie. Holes for our badges, lugs, butt plate, vents, and throw-off are drilled in the blink of an eye. Badda-bing!
At a nearby routing table a worker performs another light overall sanding before cutting 60-degree bearing edges on the router into both sides of the shell (Fig. 16).
After cleaning up the edges on a sanding table (Fig. 17), two resonant side snare beds are shaved on a C&C machine (Fig. 18).
{pagebreak} The shell is inspected on a flat piece of slate to assure edges and snare beds are smooth and uniform. Thumbs up. It's time to put the pieces together (Fig. 19).
Final Steps
Throwing open another set of double doors, we get the odd sensation of stepping into an airlock. We leave behind a cacophony of machinery and workers hustling equipment back and forth, and step into a nearly silent corner of the warehouse, where only an occasional whirring of a power tool or distant snare shot breaks the relative calm. We're in the pre-assembly area, where a handful of travelers draped with shells of all sizes — drilled, polished, awaiting completion — cluster alongside a long workbench. Here a technician applies a label inside our shell and double-checks the trueness of its edge. If anything were to look out of the ordinary, the shell would be sent back into production to make appropriate corrections. Ours passes the test, ready to move on.
Before a single lug post is installed, though, the pre-assembly tech suspends our shell under a microphone attached to a tuning device, and hits it with a soft mallet (Fig. 20). She checks the reading and marks the timbre note on the inside of the shell. That's right, folks — DW's timbre matching isn't a myth or marketing ploy. It's real.
After another round of polishing (Fig. 21), our shell is sent to final assembly.
This is where all fittings are attached (Fig. 22) — hoops, lugs, tension rods, butt plate, throw-off, snare wires, grommets, heads, the works.
Assemblers pull larger parts from massive racks and cabinets (Fig. 23), while smaller pieces are stored in trays on the workbench (Fig. 24).
To my eyes, our snare drum now looks complete, but the company isn't quite done with it. Apparently, no DW drum is ready until Roland says it's ready. A tall man wearing soft cloth gloves and a broad smile, Roland tunes every drum that passes through the assembly room, using ears to make it sing rather than fancy electronic gizmos (Fig. 25).
Before getting packaged, our drum makes one last stop in what DW calls the White House, just a couple steps from the tuning station. Illuminated by powerful white lights that reveal even the slightest imperfection, Roland gives the drum a final examination, turning it over several times, testing all moving parts, and buffing the hardware fittings. He declares it to be worthy.
So Let's Play!
Roland holds up our finished snare drum in all its glory (Fig. 26). As much as we'd love to take it home and begin jam- ming, we're overcome with a sense of gen- erosity and decide to give it away to one of you! So go to drummagazine.com/birtho- fasnaredrum and enter your name before the giveaway closes on August 10. We hope you have as much fun playing it as we had watching it get built!

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Favorite thing: The composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) spent 27 years in Leipzig as cantor at St Thomas's School and the city's director of music. Bach composed great quantities of church music in Leipzig, including the Magnificat, the St. John Passion and the St. Matthew Passion.
Thirteen of his twenty children were born here.
This bust of Bach is in the St. Nicholas Church (Nikolaikirche), where he often played the organ and directed the choir. Concerts of Bach's music are still held regularly in this church.
Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in the city of Eisenach, which is about 150 kilometers west of Leipzig.Related to:

Communist Legacy
Favorite thing: Leipzig has been spared much of the communist legacy of the East German days, unlike some of its nearby cities. What remains has either been demolished, or prettied up by painting colorful murals on the side of the ugly square concrete office blocks. Also, instead of the endless concrete grey tower blocks of East Berlin, the outskirts of Leipzig consist of elegant turn of the century buildings flanking wide boulevards.
Even what evidence of communism remains is not so bad, like the Hochhaus, and it could pass for any number of office blocks built in the West during the same period. You probably wouldn't even notice it was from the communist era, if it wasn't for the monument to workers that you can see in Augustusplatz (see picture).
Like many towns and cities in East Germany there are still a number of old East German cars around to give the city a unique flavour, especially those filthy old Trabants.

St. Nicholas Church (Nikolaikirche)
Favorite thing: This church was founded in about 1165. It has been a Protestant church since 1539.
Weekly prayers for peace were held here on Monday evenings throughout the 1980s, and these gradually developed into the Monday demonstrations against the GDR regime. In October 1989 these demonstrations attracted over 100,000 people, and started spreading to other East Germany cities, leading to the fall of the GDR and the reunification of Germany.

The Peaceful Revolution
Favorite thing: At several places in downtown Leipzig there are text-panels with information about the events of October and November 1989.
This one in front of the opera house describes the "Day of Decision" on 9 October 1989.
"After the peace prayers in four Leipzig churches, more than 70,000 citizens demonstrated against the SED regime [SED = Socialist Unity Party of Germany, the ruling party of the East German state] with the slogans "No Violence" and "We are the People", in spite of their great fear of armed clashes. The assembled 8,000 armed forces (police, members of fighting groups and soldiers of the National People's Army) withdrew in face of the demonstrating masses.
The peaceful course of the 9th of October was considered a victory over the regime. From now on the protests spread out over the entire country. The SED, however, spent the next few weeks preparing to break up the demonstrations by force. At the same time, the party conducted "Dialogue" meetings in an attempt to end the demonstrations by establishing a long-overdue dialogue with the citizens.
In the following weeks the number of demonstrators increased steadily. On the 6th of November 400,000 people demonstrated for democratic change. Hundreds of thousands kept on demonstrating even after the opening of the Wall on November 9th."

Swords into ploughshares
Favorite thing: In St. Nicholas Church you can still see one of the original hand-drawn "Swords into ploughshares" posters announcing the Monday peace prayers.
The slogan is from the Bible, Old Testament, Isaiah 2:4:
They will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

Favorite thing: Actually I'm not sure if the word for the title is correct English... What I'm talking about is something like a connection between two streets, roofed, with shops and galleries and cafes and restaurants. And there are some wonderful old, restored passages in Leipzig! Lovely art-deco surroundings, cofy cafes, little shops...
You can't miss them they are all over the city center. Have a look at Specks's Hof and the Mädlerpassage (see picture) - it's a wonderful experience just to walk around and look here and there, have a coffee, watch people walking around, looking here and there, having a coffee ...Related to:

Favorite thing: I really love fountains. And this one in Leipzig made me laugh. In front of the New City Hall there is this beautiful fountain, depicting lots of kids and their pets, dogs and rabbits etc. And they all had cigarettes in their mouths!! Very weird, these kids in Leipzig... My visit was early in the year, after a strong winter, so most of the fountains were without water at the time, unfortunately. The solution: it wasn't cigarettes of course what they had in their mouths but the little piece where normally the water is splashing out... Just normal kids after all!Related to:

A city devoted to trading
Favorite thing: In 1895 in Leipzig a new way to trade was, for the very 1st time, endorsed: the sample fair. Before this event traders were hangin around every market with goods into they sack, pocket, cars (?????), bags & so on ... but starting from that year in Leipzig people could show their goods and customers can "order" them.
Thin twice to this, it's so common in today's business world that you cannot even believe it was different before.Related to:

Digging: Wife - What's Between
Album Rating: 5.0"that cover is fucking atrocious"
nah you clearly don't get it
better than Neuorsis, right climactic?
dude idek these days. i will say this is better than /most/ neurosis albums but neurosis' best stuff is on a different plane of existence
Album Rating: 5.0this is so near "enemy of the sun" heavy, maybe surpasses it
its less raw primal fury, more dense and crushing
Album Rating: 4.5Arrival and Deliverance are so damn brootal. The chuggy midsection of Deliverance is one of the best sludge riffs I've ever heard
Digging: Blaze of Perdition - Near Death Revelations
im literally at that part right now omfg dat bass
and then that tom groove at the end damn this is edging up on salvation for me
Album Rating: 4.5This is my favorite CoL, it's alot heavier than most of their other stuff, more my style
but salvation tho
Album Rating: 5.0damn right it's that good
my opinion on this band changes all the fucking time. last week i thought vertikal was their best, it's not, but it's underrated and now i think salvation is their best when i've always loved Highway
the thing is if we're talking individual songs, salvation is just the best. echoes, waiting for you, adrift, crossing over. i
admit i've listened to salvation way more than this, but those songs are more memorable than anything here imo
Album Rating: 4.5I guess I should listen to Salvation more
I guess I should listen to Cult of Luna more
Album Rating: 4.0"if we're talking individual songs, salvation is just the best"
Digging: Titus Andronicus - The Most Lamentable Tragedy
Album Rating: 5.0to me actually 5/8 of salvation beats out the tracks here individually
Album Rating: 4.5Also you guys should check Generation Of Vipers, their newest album is incredible and so is the album before it. They're like super sludgy post-hardcore tinged post-metal, with the bass super turnt up and dirty

Ok, I just have to share this pic! It's too awesome!
And, to make the pic even funnier, imagine that Lois just farted.......
Ok...um....*off to upload pics*
loisanclarkarchive.com doesn't wanna work for me..anyone else having that problem?
Gotta do some snapshots myself then..
This turned out to be kinda arms based.. I can't help it, I'm an arms person. And Dean Cain got some amazing arms... I did mention his arms in the previous post anyway so it's okay.
And in this scene, even with the glasses, he just looks so cute!
