Document circulation with CuteFlow
The CuteFlow document circulation system supports cross-platform document exchanges. CuteFlow is easy to install and configure but still has a couple of weak areas.
No matter what size office you work in, a variety of documents will land on your desk every day. Many organizations have a system for sending documents to a team of participants on a circulation list. The document reaches one employee after another along a defined path. After all the participants have viewed the document, it is returned to the sender. At least this is what happens in theory, but what happens to the circulation if somebody is sick, on vacation, or simply not in the office? The old paper-based circulation systems often resulted in documents getting delayed in the shuffle. Several electronic collaboration systems are now available, but these systems are often too complicated for small teams. An open source tool called CuteFlow supports cross-platform document workflows. CuteFlow is an electronic collaboration tool modeled on the old paper-based circulation systems. The configuration and front-end of the PHP-based CuteFlow are fully web-based; a web browser and an email address are all you need.

How much is it? I am sure it varies,but general ideas, complete bikes, parts, etc. Thanks
he's getting rather old but he's a good mouse
not that much, its costly for any business to stay a float. markup is usually 40 to 20 percent. but with overhead (electric, phone, employees etc. etc.) that isnt so much
blah blah blah...
markup is almost always 30-35 percent. Bike shops make most of their money on clothing and parts where the markups can reach closer to 70 percent.
You could have just asked me on the road tonight! From what I've seen in bay area shops (mine doesn't really count since we keep very little active stock) markup is 75-100% for most components, 40-70% for the really expensive stuff. Complete bikes vary widely, but 35% is a safe estimate.
Our LBS marks their parts and accessories with "the full-blown retail" but then tells us that "I can give that to you for ........ " Full retail is 100% on most parts/accesories, less on bikes. They usually end up selling with 50% markup, but theirs is an old family-run business with a smaller than usual overhead.
Funny story: one day I was buying a set of handlebar grips in this shop. The "old man" was in the back room. Son calls out, "Hey Dad, how much for the Grab-Ons?" 'Old Man' shouts back. "Who's it for?" Son, "Uncle Ron!" (I'm not really their uncle by the way) Old Man yells back, "Ten bucks!"
Well from online sources comparing to in LBS shops. About 2x difference here, including shipping.
Mark-up, as a percentage, isn't the whole story.
As consumers, most of us care about the end price and how it compares to the price we'd pay elsewhere. We can decide which trade-offs to make: I'll patronage my local shop because the difference between their price and Nashbar's is small enough that I can "afford" to make the decision to pay extra and support my shop.
As shops, LBS's care about 2 #s--their purchase price and their markup. It seems like the bike industry really fixes the pricepoint to the end consumer--bike X retails for $1499. Yeah, you can get a deal from the LBS you know and you'll have some flexiblity to bargain, etc., but the same bike will list for the same price just about everywhere. However, different LBSs will pay a different amount for that bike based on their volume of purchases, competitiveness of the local market, etc. So, one shop may sell something for $100 that they bought for $70, and another shop will sell the same item for $100 when they paid $60. This makes a big difference in the shops' profit margins AND in consumers' ability to negotiate a better price. This dynamic favors the larger shops--they can sell the item for $10 less and make the same gross margin, which means they'll sell more of the item, get volume-pricing discounts, be able to offer lower prices, etc.
Aslo, where I live, there are some large multi-store local shops, and many small shops. The big shops seem interested in selling bikes--their service is really expensive and I think most of the service they do is on the bikes they sell (as part of the 1 year tune-up package). They are basically bike selling businesses. In contrast, the smaller shops offer very reasonable service prices, always check other things just to make sure there aren't any problems, and make you a good deal on any parts needed when they service the bike (lower price for a derailer when they notice it's bent and install it than walking in off the street to buy one). These shops are interested in making their money servicing bikes and make most of their money that way.
Different philosophies of retail management, different profit margins, and different pricing structures. Me and my money go to the smaller shop because I like their attitude, service, and have never felt hustled. At the big shops, I can't go in to buy an innertube without being offered a test ride on a $2000 bike.

(From NBDA Cost of Doing Business Survey,
expressed as a percentage of gross annual sales)
Payroll Expenses 20.5%
Occupancy Expenses 7.7%
Advertising/Promotion 3.%
Auto and Delivery 0.5%
Depreciation 0.9%
Insurance 0.8%
Licenses/Other Taxes 0.5%
Professional Services 0.5%
Office Supplies/Postage 1.2%
Telephone 0.6%
Travel/Entertainment 0.4%
Other operating expenses 1.3%
Keep in mind that a roughly 50% margin means a 100% markup. Example. Part costs store $5.00. 100% markup to $10. Sold at $10 - made $5.00 - 50% GROSS Margin....
Paid for lights, labor, telephone supplies, etc.... -37.7% net margin = 12.3% in this case.
Just remember that LBSs are businesses. By their nature they must spread their overhead expenses over a smaller volume of sales than other sources of bike parts such as internet warehouses. The current LBS business model emphasizes "service" as the main value-added ingredidient to differetiate themselves from internet sources. In this business model the value of the service provided must equal or exceed the operating overhead expense added (at least from the customer's viewpoint). If it doesn't then you lose money, and you need to readjust your business model.
Free business lesson for shop owners - - - change the business to match the customer's perceived value if you are losing money....don't try to change the customer's perception of the value you provide.

Is there any reason not to? I can't think of one. It's interesting to see just how fast decomposition starts as you lift the mats of leaves off the trail. We certain,y have some mixed views on the subject in my area, but it seems to me that the leaves are the organic material that we don't want on our trails. They hold water on the trail. Obscuring the trail makes for more braids when people can't tell where the trail goes. When I am blowing the trails, I am blowing the main line only which helps define it and makes alternate lines less eye-catching. I've heard people say that the leaves are good because they slow down water moving on the trail - if that's the case, isn't the trail the problem, and not the leaves?

Dear Ranchers,
Just need some assistance from you guys with handling login functionality on our eStore. Here's what is required:
1) We already have a sign in module up and running as a separate view. However, we need to provide a ;Sign In' link on the header of the store (available on all pages), clicking on this link will open a small window which will ask of user credentials.
2) I plan on having a hidden <div> block in the header element that contains the signin form. We'll enable this <div> on the 'Sign In' link click.
Here's what I have tried so far:
1) The link for 'Sign In' on the header maps to a page called 'sign-in.ep., that is handled by a controller. In this controller, in the formBackingObject() method, I return the formbean. Something similar to the following:
The Mapping File:
<property name="mappings"> <props> <prop key="/index.ep">indexController</prop> <prop key="/quickSignIn.ep">quickSignInController</prop> ....
The Controller:
@Override protected Object formBackingObject(final HttpServletRequest request) { request.getRequestURI(); request.getRequestURL(); final QuickSignInFormBeanImpl signInFormBean = (QuickSignInFormBeanImpl) getElasticPath().getBean(ExtContextIdNames.QUICK_SIGN_IN_FORM_BEAN); final CustomerSession customerSession = getRequestHelper().getCustomerSession(request); Shopper shopperFromCustomerSesion = customerSession.getShopper(); Customer customerFromShopper = shopperFromCustomerSesion.getCustomer(); signInFormBean.setJ_username(customerFromShopper.getEmail()); return signInFormBean; }
2) I've created a separate file that renders the Sign In form for now. Here's teh controller definition:
<bean id="quickSignInController" class="com.tibco.ep.sfweb.controller.impl.QuickSignInFormControllerImpl" parent="abstractEpFormController"> ...... ...... <property name="formView"> <value>checkout/quickSignIn</value> </property> <property name="successView"> <value>index</value> </property> </bean>
3) Now, the problem here is that I need to access the formbean returned from the controller in the header and NOT in the file 'quickSignIn'. Wondering if there is a way I can achieve this getting the formbean in teh header element so that the Login form can be seen across all pages (via the header)?
I'd appreciate any inputs on this.

Are you using Spring Security?
Also, your login is in a different view as of now. Why not take that <form> that is in the other view and just paste it in your website header? It should be the same functionality. Or am I missing something?

Thanks for your repky Mark. Yes, I am using spring security.
I tried copy pasting my form tags in the header, which is included in every page.
Now, what happens is that when I open the home page, the signin controller hanot been called yet and my header element
expects a valid form bean to bind values to., which apparently is not there.
Moreover, i was wondering what should be defined as the 'nextview'
in my signin controller since I want the user to stay on the same page on the signin link click
and open the signin form in the hidden div tags insde my header element.
I agree. Here's the link:

Had to hold it by the little foot circle, since its diameter is 10" and my hand's span is only 9.5". Fell to the floor; shattered. Guess you were wrong. Thanks for offering such an easy way to prove it.
Had to hold it by the little foot circle, since its diameter is 10" and my hand's span is only 9.5". Fell to the floor; shattered. Guess you were wrong. Thanks for offering such an easy way to prove it.
It is user friendly because it is far easier on the eyes for me at least. My friend just got a Droid DNA by HTC which has a 5" screen but is very light and thin and easily fit in my pocket. The display is 1080P with a 1920 x 1080 resolution. It really is a gorgeous display and unlike the bulkier phones from the past easily passes the pocketability test. I have to believe that I am far from alone in wanting to stick with an iPhone and iOS but also wanting a big display.
Bingo. You nailed it. When I moved from the 3GS over to the original Samsung Galaxy 3 years ago, I knew I could never go back to a 3.5" screen. Now that I have a 4.65" screen (GN), I can't see going back to a 4". I still play around with the 4S though as I have a number of friends who have it and the build quality is quite nice but it is a bit heavy for me.
As for the "pocketability", I have wear Lucky Jeans fairly often and I can easily fit my Nexus 7 in my front pocket when I need to move around the house. So yeah, my 4.65" phone easily fits into my front pocket. My next phone will probably be int he 5" to 5.5" spot and while I recognize that not everyone wants a phone of that size, there are many who do. It is quite feasible to use once handed as well with the advent of Swype and other similar keyboards out there. Just thought I would share my views on the topic.
But that's like designing a hockey stick so it can be used with just one hand. First, while you do sometimes hold it in one hand, most of the time you're better off using two. Second, making it good for one hand reduces it's overall usability so it's self-defeating. Sure, there are some who prefer to keep one hand free for... whatever it is they do with that hand, but most people are perfectly happy to use two hands on the device. Most people I know with iPhones use two hands anyway.
I'm a 5 inch iPhone fan. I think it would sell like hotcakes, just as the iPad Mini is doing. Both are easy market predictions.
However, you're right: iOS is stuck because it was not designed to be usable with one hand on a larger screen. This is because the BACK button for almost every app is at the upper left, which is too far from the RIGHT thumb that most people use.
(Apple's recent "Common Sense" ad about one-handed usage used a LEFT hand to show the thumb arc, because a RIGHT thumb wouldn't make it far enough to hit a upper left Back button without stretching. It was a very clever piece of misdirection, that most viewers did not notice. )
Anyway, the upshot is, iOS will need to either move the Back button or add a physical one, in order for a larger screen to stay pretty usable with one hand.
This is one of the things that drive me crazy about using the iPad while laying down... having to shift everything to reach way up to click Back.
(Apple's recent "Common Sense" ad about one-handed usage used a LEFT hand to show the thumb arc, because a RIGHT thumb wouldn't make it far enough to hit a upper left Back button without stretching. It was a very clever piece of misdirection, that most viewers did not notice. )
Do your fingers not bend or something? Come on. Enough with this nonsense.
But, as some of us keep trying to impress on the naysayers, IT'S NOT JUST A PHONE!!! It's a portable computer. For many (most?) of us, voice calls represent a fraction of what we do with the device. About the ONLY measure by which one might conclude one-handed use is preferable is holding it to the side of your head, which again, many of us don't do anymore anyway because we have headsets for that. For just about ANY other use, from navigation to typing, accuracy and ease-of-use increase exponentially with a larger screen.
I'm taking the position that there's a definitive size line to be drawn whereby at some point it's physically impossible to use a phone with one hand. We can bell curve the line if you'd like.
I think the issue of a larger phone has little to do with a "phone" per se. Many many people use their "phone" more as a "computer". The bigger screen has to do with the computer aspect. If you look at the phone as just an app, you see what I mean.
One still wants ease of carrying, so we can argue about the right size, but clearly more than 4 inches, perhaps 5 or 6.
Moral of the story: for many users, think of the phone as an app.
Fair enough. Do you think the iPhone has reached that size limit?
As I noted, the size limit (either large or small) also depends on the UI and input method(s). As for input, we got away with small screens for years because of cursor keys and trackpads. The same solution works for larger screens.
As for touch-only UIs, the key is primary control placement. The cardinal rule of touch UIs is that the most often used controls should be at the bottom, partly so your hand doesn't cover the screen. The trouble with iOS is that Back is used more often than its designers planned.
Android and WP get away with larger screens partly because of not placing the Back at the upper left, which is inconvenient for most users. Android doesn't get a total freebie here though. It defaults to tabs at the top, just to be different from iOS.
The low end of it, yes.
Source? How could they have not planned it to be used exactly as often as it is used? It's the only way to go back. Pretty dang sure they know how often it's being used.
I agree. I think that's the most confusing thing to people moving over from iOS. They expect the Back button to stop at the app's topmost level.
Of course, the Apple Home button always uses space (lots of it, since it's round).
Android buttons can actually go away in some modes if they're part of the screen. For example, I just took these two screenshots from a Galaxy Nexus. In fullscreen video mode, the buttons and statusbar disappear, and the whole front of the phone is used:
I think the Home button on the iPhone is one of the best ideas ever. It's like a safety net and it's easy.
Moreover, it neatly solved a common problem of the time, especially with a new OS: a need for a way for the user to recover from a runaway program or an OS glitch. By using a physical button, with an electrical interrupt to the CPU, the user actually "reset" the OS every single time they clicked Home. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
The downside later on, was that with only one button, Apple has had to shoehorn extra functionality into it via multiple clicks.
Yep, there are lots of things that could be done.
For example, I liked WebOS and its multitasking control gestures. It was intuitive and fun to use.
I also liked a phone I had with a capacitive zoom bar under the screen. Super easy one-handed zooming on most pages. Very smart.
I guess Apple isn't going to present really new ideas soon. What kind of product don't they have in the tech area?
The user interface revolution of the smartphone world is done, that was the real innovation of apple in that area.
But now it's the usual race. Bigger, better, faster, stronger. But nothing really new or innovative.
But maybe I'm totally wrong and that's the reason I don't work in a R&D department.

We'll see anyway. It's not like there aren't a lot of products lines that Apple could step into... TV, cars, makeup, intelligent clothing, whatever...
I personally think that as electronics become smaller, we're going to begin seeing more functional improvements, and one of those improvements is going to be the implementation of more durable components. We're already seeing tougher materials being utilized in manufacturing and hopefully we'll see the day when drop/dust/water proof devices (hopefully Apple) are standard without having to utilize a third-party case for protection.
Good question.
In Jobs' biography, Jon Ive says that he was the one who came up with the idea of using multi-touch for future Apple projects. He had a secret group work on it until it was good enough for a demo, and then he sprang it on Jobs, who immediately saw that it was perfect for the iPhone.
If that's a true story, then we have Ive to thank.
Also, if that's a true story, it's a bit sad that Jobs never publicly gave him credit.
I have an iPhone 5 currently and I wonder what is it going to take to get me out of my iPhone 5 and into an iPhone 5S or iPhone 6.
Assuming nearly every software feature in iOS7 turns up in iPhone 5, that leaves the hardware.
New colors? Nope
Fingerprint scanner and E-wallet functionality? Nope
4" sub 720P screen? Nope
Recycled iPhone 5 chassis? Nope
Same battery life? Nope
In English, I'm mostly content with my iPhone 5 and Apple would need to raise the bar quite a bit to get me into a new iPhone.
And I don't believe phone size alone dictates one handed usage. You can easily go to a 4.5" screen and maintain one handed use as long as you tailor your UI elements to be in the quadrants most accessible to thumbs. My last android phone was a Sprint Galaxy S2 and usability was never an issue, even on a 4.5" screen, but that's my personal limit. Phones over that size feel obnoxiously large.

I want to ask questions about the different flavors of Windows OS but am not sure which site is best. Super User, Server Fault, Stack Overflow, other?
What is meta? ×
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 150 Stack Exchange communities.
Super User of course. But you need to be a little more precise in your question. Or else you would end up referred to microsoft site, where they do comparison.
If you narrow your question to for example: how does the different version of windows handle XXX you may find help on Super User.
Well, a question about "flavors of Windows OSs" probably will not be about server issues, so don't ask on Server Fault. It's probably some kind of comparison of the flavors, which is probably not going to be a Stack Overflow question.
I suggest Super User, as that is the home for people who are "users" of systems, software, and hardware.
When did Windows start coming in different flavors? I thought it was a flavor...
If your talking about WMI-defined flags that describes the behavior of a qualifier then SO is the place to ask.

I'm in the process of trying to make the select values a dynamic list of a different post type. For example, if I had a post type of states and another post type of cities. In my CFT for the cities, I'm looking to use AJAX to dynamically populate the states drop down.It seems to me that the best answer would be to allow for a jQuery callback in the document.ready() function in load_custom_field and allow me to extend it from there.
Thanks for your consideration of this enhancement request

Idle No More dance and speeches on Parliament Hill (VIDEO)
This colorful video of the December 21, 2012, Idle No More protest on Parliament Hill, will always remain one of the highlights of my career as a progressive activist. The video includes speeches by supporters and helpers of hunger striker Chief Theresa Spence. The speakers also repeated Spence's call for a meeting involving Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a representative of the Queen, First Nations leaders.

Many thanks to Paul for this aerial photo, said to show tugboats idled by the strike that lasted the first half of the February 1946.
Here's the verso of the photo, in the case you read Spanish.
For more context of 1946 NYC, click here for a set of Todd Webb photos. If you have time for the 13-minute video at the end of that link, it's well-worth it also, especially for the quote attributed to O. Henry . . . calling NYC "Baghdad on the subway," which has a whole different set of connotations in 2015 as in O. Henry's day.
Click here for more 1946 sixth boro photos by Andreas Feininger.
And since we're stuck in 1946 for now, check out this Life article with drawings about a 1946 proposal to build a "first-world" airport (my quotes) along Manhattan's west side covering 9th Avenue to the water and between 24th and 71st!
See the decorated Dutch bar? That's not something you see every day.
but July 4 is not an ordinary day. Just look at all those people at the land's edge: "water-gazers" Melville called them, as you can read here with the last sentence of the second paragraph and go through the next two paragraphs. All wanting to see the decorated Dutch bar?
Marie J Turecamo brought a barge of pyrotechnics too.
Marion Moran–like Brendan Turecamo–brought a barge full to midtown, I believe.
. . . as did Doris Moran. Again, see the water-gazers fill the esplanade.
Other tugboats brought other gazers . . . sky-gazers soon.
like Kimberly Poling and .
Yemitzis, launched as a PRR tug in 1954. Click here and scroll to see her original look.
My goal at the fireworks on Pier 16 had been to get shots of Ambrose bathed in pyrotechnical light, but alas . . . without the right orientation of camera to boat to flashes . . . this is the best I got.
This photo from July 2012 was what I had imagined I could get. Well . . . it's all about a lot of things, including location. See the different version of this shot of the left of this page and please let's continue the discussion on the future of Pegasus.
Speaking of sky-gazers . . . from the back of the crowd on Pier 16, this is what I got.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
And if you didn't see this article in the NYTimes about digital photography and ethics, check it out, even if you just look at the before and after photos.
. . . with some digressions . . . . The photo below of the procession leading to the Roundup comes from Jeff Anzevino.
Digress to the left . . . on the Troy (Lansingburgh) side through the trees is Melville Park and this sign and
this house. If you're looking for a good read about Melville's later life on the waters off Lower Manhattan, check out this Frederick Busch historical novel.
Here's another shot by Jeff, taken from the 112th Street Bridge. You might recognize the crewman standing beside the wheelhouse port side. There are many other posts with photos from Jeff, such as this one.
From Bob Stopper, exiting lock 27, it's Roosevelt-late 1920s built-and Syracuse-early 1930s built. Click here for some photos Bob –and others–sent along earlier this year.
From Jason LaDue . . a photo of tender (?) Oneida taken in 2001. Anyone know the disposition of Oneida? Click here for some previous photos from Jason.
And finally, from Fred tug44 . . . locking through E2 . . . right behind us. I feel grateful to have an occasional view of self to post here. Some of you have seen some of these on Facebook.
Thanks to Jeff, Jason, Bob, and Fred for photos here.
(I haven't used this title since 2008) Ooops! not true. Here were 2 and 3.
Notwithstanding all that . .. sometimes the thought that a day is the first day in the rest of one's life is superlatively vivid. Enjoy my pics and maybe you'll get this sense also.
Sunday afternoon, Zhen Hua 10 enters the Kills. Does anyone know if "Zhen Hua" means anything? Note Manhattan and the tip of Bayonne to the left, and tug Brooklyn, Robbins Reef Light, and the boro of Brooklyn to the right.
The new cranes arriving and the bridge their squeezing underneath are integrally related parts of the same story, as . . .
… are the cranes and the dredging equipment in the background. Note tug Specialist in the background
Margaret Moran tends the port bow.
Gramma Lee T Moran supplies the brakes and rudder.
The ship completes its journey of thousands of miles. Is it true that Zhen Hua 10 arrived here via Cape of Good Hope?
On the same theme . . here's a handsome team of tugs, good paint all around. Working on a tandem assignment?
My thought when I read the name on the nearer tug was . . . this is historic . . . Crow's last ride; the Bushey tug might also be in the last mile of its thousands and thousands in a half century of work.
She's being escorted in by Emily Ann . . .
Crow and her sister Cheyenne DO have classic lines!
Machines on shore were already staged . . . .
while not far away a last spring seal lollygags on some warm rusty metal, once also a brand new machine.
And on the other side of Staten Island rubble of a light indispensable a century ago adapts to a new life as a rookery.
Many thanks to NYMedia Boat.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who will be transiting himself soon. Thursday I leave on a grand gallivant, and in early June–if all goes well– I start a new chapter working on Urger, that handsome young centenarian tug you see upper left at the top of the page.
Bravo on the almost immediate and many correct identifications of the hulk in yesterday's post.
Here's an undated photo of SS Normandie in the sixth boro passing an unidentified Dalzell (?) tug.
Photo from John Skelson . . . PT boat eastbound on the KVK. Notice the onramp to the Bayonne Bridge in this and the next few photos. Here's a "hidden NJ" blogpost about Bayonne's ELCO shipyard. Here's a list of vessels built there.
From the same location, another of John's photos . . . destroyer, Great Lakes dredge, spectators,
and Moran tugs. Anyone add some info on the destroyer?
Recognize the bridge? This photo–from the New York City Archives, as are all the the rest here– is identified as taken in January 1937. Whaling City then was a fishing vessel. A vessel by that name operates today as a fast ferry.
Notice 120 Wall Street. This photo was taken January 1937 and shows F/V Charles B. Ashley.
Not much info on this next set . . . . a dredge from a century ago and
a survey vessel.
And finally . . . this may be the last of my black/white photos . . . the sign tells all about the attitude of the value of salt marshes a half century ago and before . . .
Thanks much to John Skelson for sharing his "family archives" photos, and if the fog over the sixth boro today has you staying indoors, go check out the New York City Municipal Archives online gallery.
First the specifics . . . 70 Henry Street Brooklyn Heights Cinema tonight at 7 for reception with showing starting at 8. After the show, stop by at Park Plaza Bar about .1 mile nearby.
So it's appropriate to lead these NYC Municipal Archives photos off with tugboat Brooklyn.
Next in an icy North River (?) . . . . . . Richmond.
Launches Bronx and
Passenger steamer Little Silver, which ran between the Battery and Long Branch, NJ in the first decade of the 20th century.
And finally . . . John Scully, a very classy Dialogue (Use the "find" feature to search) built built tug
And the connection . . . here's what boats of this vintage look like today in "disintegration experiments" in waters everywhere. I took these in August 2011 while Gary and I filmed Graves of Arthur Kill.
Some boats of this time, of course, still operate like Pegasus (1907) and Urger (1901)
while others try to stave off time so that they might once again like New York Central No. 13 (1887).
I've long subscribed to the notion that getting there should be as thrilling as arriving, so . . . let's continue the ride backward past this 1914 post . . . to . . . 1910.
Below . . . it's the Statue cruise of the day loading where it does today. Notice a roofed Castle Clinton–formerly fort, immigration center, music hall– in the background left.
NYC tug Manhattan . . . built 1874! Now where do her bones lie?
Steamer Brighton assisted by New York Tugboat Company's Geo. K. Kirkham.
Front and center here is Celt (scroll through) , the yacht with many reinventions that now languishes in a creek west of Cincinnati, waiting for me . . . There's lots of intriguing traffic in the background.
Thomas Willett built in 1908 by Alex Miller of Jersey City for a fortune in the amount of $335,000.
And finally . . . a 1911 photo of a a vessel captioned as SS Momu . . . . Tug and pier are also unidentified. The logo on the stack should help someone.
That's it for today. I hope group sourcing can teach us more about these photos.
More from the archives . . . aerial of Pier 40 and the Holland Tunnel vent . . . photo said to be taken in 1955.
Photo said to be "three-masted schooner" in 1937. Clearly that's not a schooner there with the GW Bridge in the background. Anyone know what sailing ship that might have been?
Photo by Sam Brody February 1938. Ferry Hackensack foreground with Jack Frost Sugars over on the Edgewater, NJ side.
Todd Shipyard, 1935-41 . . . Here's a list of what was built there and an aerial view (you may have to scroll horizontally) of what it today is occupied by IKEA.
SS Normandie . . . headed for the North River piers.
City of Chattanooga December 1937.
Brooklyn docks as seen from Brooklyn Heights, November 1937. Here's a Munson Lines flyer.
Here's the schedule–sorry for all the repetition–for Wednesday evening's documentary portion of the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival, where Graves of Arthur Kill will be shown. Gary and I will hang for a while at Park Plaza Bar after the show. It may be mobbed?
I didn't want to call this post "something different 19" because clearly it wouldn't be different from the previous days. A pattern has emerged, and then I realized that part of the pattern is that these photos depict some of the unidentifiable vessels lost in boneyard or ship graveyards like the one focused upon in the documentary Graves of Arthur Kill. Here they are, in their prime or at least working although forgotten.
All the photos in this post were taken during the Great Depression, by photographers who were funded through the WPA, Works Progress Administration. I am grateful this documentation happened. And my caption are based on the captioning–specific or general–accompanying the photos in the archives.
Below . . . US Gypsum tug. notice the Bayonne Bridge on the horizon near the left edge of the shot.
Photographer Ralph de Sola took this shot of tug Sarah and much smaller one without a name I can find.
Caption says SS Brennen May 1937. But I believe the vessel passing Pier A is actually SS Bremen. Assorted small boats here I can't identify.
I'm intrigued here by the "car float" marked "Brooklyn Jay Street Terminal . . ." shifting rail cars from right to left. Is that a McAllister tug on the far side? And is that how the Staten Island ferry terminal looked in the late 1930s and what is the building on the water left side of photo where the Coast Guard Building is now located?
Here's an intriguing E. M. Bofinger photo dated June 1938, taken from . . . foot of Wall Street? If Bennett Air Service is at all related to Floyd Bennett and the now unused Floyd Bennett Field, it's noteworthy that Floyd Bennett himself had died–age 37– in April 1938. Click here for many more Bofinger photos.
Another photographer of water scenes in the archives is James Suydam. Here are piers 13 through 15, the area currently just south of South Street Seaport. Prominent against the sky then was 70 Pine, just to the left of stepped back 120 Wall. The other two are 40 Wall (with antenna) and 20 Exchange, south of 120 Wall.
Here's a photo attributed to Treistman, said to be taken from the top of Seamen's Institute and looking over the same piers as shown in the previous photo.
Moving back over to the other side of Manhattan, it's SS Conte di Savoia at the pier with an unidentified steam tug to the left. For a photo of the liner with more color, click here.
Again, the context here . . . Wednesday night, come see the Graves of Arthur Kill, our documentary screened at the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival on tugboats and other vessels of this era and older and what became of them.
And if you're free the night before, check out this program on salvage sponsored by Working Harbor Committee.
I took six of these fotos with my camera and four with another, given to me, that costs three times as much as mine. Can you distinguish which is which? I realize I might NOT YET be able to get top performance from the second camera. Or maybe in this format it's impossible to distinguish one from the other . .. because they're like oil and oil. Or like these two tankers, contorted together like slugs in love. Ever seen slugs in . . . love?
Mahanadi Spirit gets assisted from her berth by
Charles D. McAllister, spun counterclockwise and
to sea with additional assist by Maurania III.
Next to move was Chemical Pioneer, with the same
A bit later, sibling tankers came in to the dock. Noble Express came in followed by
Docking looked like this, one vessel almost merged with the other.
And can you tell which fotos were taken with camera A and camera B?
Answer is down a bit.
Slugs in love . . . I first saw it waiting at the commuter rail station a few weeks back at 6:15 am, thinking I should have had more coffee . . . .
Please . . . some feedback. Be blunt and frank about the quality of fotos on this blog. Pass the link onto any professional photographers even. I'm re-examining my aesthetic. And after seeing slugs in love, I can handle anything, even dragonfly love.
Answer: The first three were with my usual camera, then three with camera B, then
two one with mine, then one more with camera B, and the last two were with mine. The two cameras in question were mine (SP 590-UZ Olympus) whose weight and zoom capability I love and a Sony Cyber-shot DSC R1.

I am the owner of a 1972 Toyota Corona Mark II. It is in rough shape, but for various sentimental reasons I'm having a difficult time selling it for scrap. I'm hopeful that a Japanese car aficionado will have an interest in it, and will be posting photos and information soon on the appropriate part of the forum.

Honey Pie Pony
Russi Taylor(1980s), Sarah Heinke (2003-2008), Anna Cummer (2009-present)
She is said to be the "unofficial princess" of Strawberryland[1], and is often seen wearing a pink hat with strawberries printed on it. In the 1980 version of the franchise, she lives in a shortcake, while in the 2003 version, she lives in a strawberry.
She shares her berry bungalow with her little sister Apple Dumplin' (note that in the 1980 rendition, Strawberry was an only child; Apple Dumplin' was just one of her friends), her persnickety cat Custard, and her mischievous dog named Pupcake (In the 1980 rendition, Pupcake was owned by Huckleberry Pie, but in the present version, he is Strawberry's pet). Many of Strawberry Shortcake's days are spent in the simple pleasures of tending berryvines. Strawberry also likes to spend time with her friends, so she frequently visits nearby lands. Strawberry is always cheerful and is ready for helping her friends at any time. In the 1980s rendition, Strawberry was said to be six years old. Her current age is never explicitly stated, but she is implied to be teenaged/young adult aged in her most recent incarnations (e.g., in Year 4 of the 2003 version, Strawberry is able to drive a car and in the 2009 version, she owns a shop called the Berry Café). Strawberry Shortcake is voiced by Russi Taylor (1980s), Sarah Heinke (2003-2008), and Anna Cummer (2009-present).

2003 Series
Strawberry Shortcake is a tomboy in this incarnation, which is implied by her outfit style and her being good at sports. She also likes gardening, which is why there are a lot of strawberries with large size around her house. She loves her sister and never fails to share equal love towards both her pets. Whenever there is a large event in Strawberryland, you can bet that Strawberry Shortcake was the one who had the idea. Despair almost never appears in her dictionary, and when it does, it doesn't take long for her to regain her optimism.
She likes singing and dancing, and she always does both whenever she has the chance. She is also a smart girl who can quickly find the right solution whenever a problem arises. She's also curious, eager to try something new, go to a place completely new for her, and make friends with a complete stranger. By the time of Year 4 period, her personality has matured, which is implied by her taking a part time job and considering what her future career will be.
Strawberry loves hanging out with her friends in Berry Bitty City. Whenever she runs her Berry Café, she's always willing to lend a helping hand or go on an adventure. Her optimism is contagious and she always sees big possibilities in everything!

She wears brown sneakers.
Year 4
Strawberry wears a pink and white striped hoodie with a hot pink T-shirt underneath. She still wears jeans. She has long, shoulder-length red hair. Her hat design has not changed, but the hat band now matches the bow's color. Her shoes are formal, pink girl shoes.
Strawberry's hat is replaced with a cap that resembles a strawberry, a green platform and button. She has very long flowing, magenta pink hair with very curly strands hanging lose above her curved strands going down to her waist. She wears a dress which is color halved (the top is white with green diamonds with a strawberry between; whereas the bottom half is pink with red polka-dots. Her leggings are white and green striped.

Orange Blossom
Although Orange is somewhat shy in nature, she and Strawberry get along nicely and are close friends.
Angel Cake
Angel is a close friend of Strawberry's.
Huckleberry Pie
Although Huck does not get much screen time due to him being the only central male of the series, he is a close friend of Strawberry's.
Peppermint Fizz
Peppermint initially had a bad temperament and Strawberry usually ended up teaching her lessons in kindness. However, in Year 4, most of her mean tendencies have vanished. She is Strawberry's friend.
Strawberry owned Custard ever since the '80s, but later on, Pupcake, who was originally owned by Huckleberry Pie, was re-introduced as Strawberry's pet. Strawberry found Pupcake astray and adopted him. His original color was brown with green and white striped ears, his color scheme was blue in 2003, and his color scheme was green in 2009.

Hackney Reopens After £15m Refit with Slava Gala
Editorial Staff • West End • 28 Jan 2004
Amongst the celebrities confirmed to attend tonight's performance – which will be introduced with a speech and toast by artistic director Roland Muldoon – are: Mel Smith, Ruby Wax, Michael Winner, Maureen Lipman, Alan Sugar, Prunella Scales, Timothy West, Jo Brand, Steven Berkoff, Gary Kemp, Greg Wise and Emma Thompson. Also in attendance will by Griff Rhys-Jones, who led the theatre's fundraising efforts, and artist Tracy Emin, who's newly created neon installation was unveiled on-site this week.
Situated in one of the capital's poorest boroughs, the Empire has been closed for the past two and a half years while it's undergone a massive, £15 million overhaul of its 1901 Frank Matcham-designed auditorium. It was previously due to reopen in September 2003 with the National Theatre's production of Kwame Kwei-Armah's Elmina's Kitchen, the drama set on Hackney's notorious "Murder Mile" (See News, 13 Jun 2003). However, those plans were postponed after the collapse of the firm completing the building work (See The Goss, 17 Sep 2003).
Following Slava's Snowshow, Polunin's first show in the UK since 1997, Hackney's revised and varied opening programme will continue with showcase performances of the 291 Club and a new variety season with a line-up of celebrity comedians including Bill Bailey, Jo Brand, Harry Hill and Mark Thomas. In March, Michael Nyman celebrates his 60th birthday with a solo concert of his work and the English Touring Opera will present two new opera productions of Midsummer Night's Dream and The Marriage of Figaro.
Commenting on the programme, Hackney artistic director Roland Muldoon said: "It's always been our intention to create a truly popular theatre, one that challenges conventions and expectations, where grand opera and world drama can happily play alongside pantomime, Jamaican farce and stand-up comedy. It is wonderful that now we're finally there!"
Built in 1901, the Hackney Empire has become best known as a comedy venue, where numerous, now highly successful comedians - including Alan Davies, Jo Brand and Jenny Eclair - launched their early careers. For many years, it operated as a bingo hall before being reopened as a theatre in 1986. It has played host to many notable characters during its history, including Charlie Chaplin, Louis Armstrong, Liberace and King Edward VII's mistress Lillie Langtry. In 1995, the theatre was famously the scene for Ralph Fiennes' acclaimed Almeida Theatre production of Hamlet, later transferred to New York.
The Empire secured £5 million in National Lottery funding which, after a three-year fundraising campaign led by actor and comedian Griff Rhys-Jones, was supplemented with £15 million in private funds, including a £1.3 million donation from former Tottenham Hotspurs chairman and computer industry tycoon, Alan Sugar (See News, 7 Mar 2001).
Major elements of the refurbishment include the creation of a new orchestra pit which accommodates up to 60 musicians; the construction of a new backstage block incorporating dressing rooms, an increase in the height of the flytower; and greatly improved access for people with disabilities. Work began in spring 2001 and was originally due to be completed in August 2002.

THE I-SLACKER GENERATION; Students' Internet 'Research' Pure Fun
Byline: BRENDAN HUGHES
STUDENTS will insist that having access to the internet is vital for research and study at university.
If you don't have a laptop under your arm with an easy-access internet connection, you will fail your degree - or so the story goes.
But new figures suggest our scholars are spending most of their online time chatting on Facebook and watching videos on YouTube.
Internet studying and research tools such as academic journals fail to feature in the top 10 most viewed websites on campus.
Social networking site Facebook is the most popular internet destination for university web surfers.
Streaming radio stations over the internet came in second, pushing search giant Google into third place.
The most used online study tool was encyclopedia Wikipedia in 11th place - a site that is notorious for its inaccuracies.
The internet usage figures come from a freedom of information request to Swansea University.
All other Welsh universities were unable to collect the same data when asked by the Wales on Sunday.
The data therefore gives a unique indication of how students are spending their time while using the internet.
Professor Duncan Bloy, a lecturer at Cardiff University's Journalism School, says the impact of 21st century technologies on campus life is all too visible. …
