Congrats to both of you...well deserved
Some of you may have noticed Vandy sporting the inaugural "Honorable Contributor" award for his great work in transferring all the tutorials into pdf files. The idea behind this award is to recognise those who excel at areas not traditionally recognised by the existing mapping awards
I am delighted to announce that I have the great pleasure of awarding the next two Honorable Contributor badges to two people for their excellent work on the CWBP.
12rounds has added a completely new element to the CWBP with this contextually driven artwork that has delighted all who see it and delivered a new richness to the project.
Industrygothica has taken up the mantle of the chief editor to the wiki, somewhat less visibly but no less crucially. He has given a great deal of his time to organising the work of others and the results are clear to see.
I hope you will all continue to support the excellent work that these two honoured sons of the CWBP have done and continue to do.
The internet! It\'ll never catch on.

Thank you all very much!
It is certainly most delighting to see that the work done is appreciated and definately a positive encouragement to do more.
I'll tip my hat as well and offer my congrats to our most "Honorable Contributors" who are more vital than they probably realize.

We have obtained a wealth of community feedback regarding the Source Beta and have applied it to our new endeavor, 'ORION: Prelude' - our companies first endeavor.

Sadly, we need to make a few disclaimers. First and most importantly - the Source Code. I unfortunately had a hard drive crap out in late 2009. This means that the Source Code included is the source code from roughly 5-6 months before the first public release. So much of it is dated and will probably appear broken, however, after much discussion we figured that someone out there may find some use from it - so we included it anyways.
There is of course bound to be a few glitches here and there. There also may be some missing content. If we stumble upon any additional assets or materials or source code elements, we will make an update and release it. Let us know any problems you may encounter.

One of the most horrible and painful experiences of my life, a reskin that plays WORSE than the game its reskinning.

Clearwater, Florida - Republican David Jolly has won the Florida congressional race to replace the late Republican Rep. Bill Young, defeating Democrat Alex Sink and Libertarian Lucas Overby.
RESULTS: District 13 Special Election
With all 225 precincts reporting, Jolly has 48.43 percent of the vote; Sink has 46.56 percent and Overby has 4.83 percent.
The race for the 13th congressional district seat in Pinellas County garnered national attention and nearly $9 million in outside money. The district was considered a tossup, and ads for Sink and Jolly have inundated mailboxes and airwaves in recent weeks.
The special election served as the first test of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul ahead of November's midterm elections. Local issues took a backseat to the health care law as both national parties and outside groups flooded the swing-voting district with ads, phone calls and mailings about "Obamacare."
Democrats and Republicans used the race to audition national strategies.
Jolly's election night headquarters in Clearwater Beach erupted into
loud cheers as it became clear he was the winner. In his victory speech,
Jolly simultaneously struck a conciliatory tone and expressed gratitude
for his mentor, Young, and Young's family. Jolly was introduced by
former The Price is Right game show host Bob Barker, via video. Young's
two adult sons were also onstage with Jolly, and he embraced them at the
end of his speech.
Jolly didn't mention the issue that dominated much of the campaign -
the president's health care package - and instead said that Pinellas
County must work together.
"This race is not about defending a broken agenda in Washington or
advancing a broken agenda in Washington. This race is about serving the
people in our own community," he said. "Let's dispense with the rancor
and vitriol of the last five months."
Jolly thanked Sink and Overby and said it was "OK" that tens of thousands of others voted for his opponents.
"While this campaign at times seemed to be partisan, your next congressman is not partisan," he said.
In St. Petersburg, Sink's party was subdued. Backed by her adult
children, Sink began her concession speech by thanking her campaign team
and the thousands of volunteers who helped her congressional bid. She
spoke to a couple hundred stoic supporters in a half-empty ballroom at a
lakeside Hilton in St. Petersburg.
"We know that life brings many challenges. It brings many
opportunities. My values have always been to do good for my family and
for my community," she said.
"We don't know what the future holds," she said, "but I'll do what I've always done and continue to serve my community.
"Although we're disappointed, the bars are open," she said.
With that, Sink left the ballroom.

As Jolly and Sink shook hands with voters around the district
Tuesday, steady streams of people filed into retirement communities,
churches and libraries to cast ballots. As of Monday, 27 percent of
registered voters had cast ballots through absentee or early voting,
with Election Day turnout increasing throughout the afternoon.
The battle for Florida's 13th District seat was a prequel of sorts to
the national fight this year over who controls Congress in the last two
years of Obama's final presidential term. The House is expected to
remain under Republican control. But in the Senate, Republicans are
hoping to leverage Obama's unpopularity and his health care law's wobbly
start to gain the six seats required to control the 100-member chamber.
That made the race in Florida a pricey proving ground for both parties heading into November elections.
Jolly, a former Young aide backed by Republicans and outside groups,
campaigned on repealing the health care law, saying in one ad that Sink
would undermine Medicare because of Democratic-passed cuts to programs
under "Obamacare."
The message is a rallying cry for Republican voters.
"No more big government. We've got to stop," said Irene Wilcox, a
78-year-old retired waitress and Republican from Largo who voted for
Others described Sink as a clone of Obama and House Democratic Leader
Nancy Pelosi, a key argument of Jolly and national Republicans.
"As bad as Bush may have been, he was a saint compared to the guy we
have in Washington," said Rich Castellani, a retired treasury agent who
supported Jolly.
Meanwhile, Sink, Florida's former chief financial officer and the
Democratic nominee for governor in 2010, painted Jolly as an extremist
who wants to "take us back" to when people were denied coverage due to
existing conditions. She pledged to "to keep what's right and fix what's
wrong" in the health care law.
That argument resonated with some voters.
"While I know it's not perfect, it's may be the beginning of where we
can provide adequate health care to everyone, not just the wealthy,"
said Frieda Widera, a 51-year-old Democrat from Largo who backed Sink.
Others compared the botched rollout to the beginnings of popular government programs like Social Security and Medicare.
In an attempt to deflect criticism over the law, Sink and Democrats
painted Jolly as a Washington lobbyist who backs efforts to privatize
Social Security and gut Medicare. The attack put Jolly on the defensive
in recent weeks, and some voters cited concern about GOP cuts to
programs for the elderly. More than one in four registered voters in the
district is older than 65.
"The Republican Party thinks they are hurting President Obama," said
George Nassif, an 82-year-old Republican who voted for Sink. "They are
not. They are hurting the people."
Many voters expressed disgust at the amount of money spent on the
race - and the relentless barrage of television ads and mailers that
were on par with a presidential election.
"I stopped watching television because the ads were driving me
crazy," said William McConnell, a 72-year-old forensic accountant and
lifelong Republican. "It was packed with lies on both sides." He cast
his ballot for Overby as a protest vote.
In a sign that the GOP was concerned about losing votes to the
Libertarian candidate, Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul recorded a
phone message for Jolly last week aimed at Overby's supporters.
Both major political parties made a last-minute drive for voters over the last week.
Clinton recorded a phone call last week seeking local volunteers to
help with Sink's campaign, and a half dozen House Democrats emailed
fundraising appeals to their own supporters on her behalf. More than a
third of Jolly's campaign contributions came from members of Congress.
Meanwhile, Ryan joined Jolly on a conference call with voters.
While Republicans held the congressional seat for four decades until Young's death last year, the district's voters favored Obama in the 2008
and 2012 presidential elections. The district is 37 percent Republican,
35 percent Democrat and 24 percent independent.
Sink outspent Jolly by more than 3 to 1 on television advertising,
though outside groups aligned with the GOP helped narrow the overall
Democratic advantage.

Well, Naima, I was kinda of curious to see what you would come up to, after a couple of weeks of obvious research and time investment. Not a bad outcome at all. I didn't spend much time trying to resolve your tectonics (that's your job, isn't it ). But I could see some obvious marks - here's what I think:
A and B parts of the main north central continent are splitting - you said it you wanted that as well, and it's pretty clear.
Under A, there is a continent with a northern mountain range - it could be a north moving continent, "eating up" the sea between it and A.
South of letter B you have a clear ocean region, with island chains to the west and the east, so it would be something like I scribbled - dunno about its south boundary.
The Ocean west of B is closing on its northern half (both continents B and the one of the West have significant mountain ranges next to the ocean, that hints subduction), but it could still be opening on the south half (the question marks indicate that it will depend on the movement of those two continents)
The continents on the east side of the map appear to be a kind of recent split, as they still fit very well. Therefore, it's a natural place to install a divergent boundary.
As I said before a lot of times, these are free-to-take-or-ignore suggestions. Just hope it helps the kick off

I'm an aspiring artist primarily, hoping to eventually get involved in the gaming industry once I refine my skills for a few years. I'm an avid gamer and approach them with an intellectual and creative mindset when it comes to conjuring up ideas for my own. I'm also heavily involved in le parkour, music, film-making, martial arts, stunts, and many other things. I'm currently involved in a few projects, most recently Vampire Slayer 2.0; a modification for Max Payne 2, which I am the conceptual artist & writer for. I'll be designing character poses, graphic novels, and have written the entire storyline for the mod. I may post up my progress depending on what the creators allow/prefer. I will not disclose information regarding the mod, so direct your queries to the rest of the VS team.
Here are some character designs I did for the VS2 Mod. They're going to be used for the menu screen, with 3D rendered counterparts of each respective pose.
* Please bear in mind that I did these drawings solely for the purpose of the poses themselves, and they are NOT final, nor do they demonstrate my full capabilities. So don't judge too harshly, this is just to whet your appetites.
I might upload properly rendered versions soon

(written from a Production point of view)
James "Jim" E. Martin (credited as Jim, Jim E., and James Martin) is an production illustrator who has worked as such on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager's pilot episode "Caretaker", Star Trek: Enterprise, and as storyboard illustrator on Star Trek Generations. His most widely-known creations are the Template:ShipClass runabout, which he co-designed with Rick Sternbach, and later the USS Defiant, which he designed under the direction of Herman Zimmerman and Gary Hutzel. He is featured in the interviews in the special features of the DS9 Season 2 DVD, the DS9 Season 3 DVD and the DS9 Season 4 DVD. Martin also designed the Bajoran phaser rifle. [1]
A graduate from the California State University, Northridge, Deep Space Nine, which he joined in August 1992, was his first professional Hollywood employment [2], having been tipped off by a friend working on Star Trek: The Next Generation, that a new Star Trek series was in the making. Hired by Production Designer Herman Zimmerman on the strength of his portfolio, Martin started out as a personal assistant, as no other position was available at the time, but which afforded him to learn the practical trade from the ground up. He was taken under the wings of Zimmerman, and Production Illustrator Doug Drexler, the latter recalling in good nature, "Jim started with us as art department PA, a rotten one I might add [remark: apparently, Martin was especially bad at coffee-making (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 13, p. 20)], but went on to become a kick ass illustrator. So we forgive him. We had a big brother-little brother relationship, and I teased him every chance I got.(...)I used to lock him in the blueprint room, and turn off the lights, steal the wheels off his bicycle, take the microphone out of his telephone, and once even had the guard at the parking structure call and say his car was on fire. We even got into a scuffle in the art department after some heinous prank I pulled on him. He's twice my size and should have had me pinned immediately, but the old man is up at five in the morning lifting weights...surprise!" [3] One year later Martin was promoted to production illustrator, though he had already started designing props for Deep Space Nine under the auspices of Zimmerman, whole still being a PA. As designer of space craft, Martin was influenced by the fighter craft designs seen in the Star Wars franchise, which was frowned upon by his mentor, "Being a number of years younger than the rest of us, Jim was highly influenced by Star Wars, and often that would show in his work. Nothing gave me more excess stomach acid than that, so I would carry an eleven foot G-95 cattle prod and used it in case the "Force" clouded his vision." [4]
Martin left the franchise in April 1995 at the start of DS9 Season 4, and his position was filled by John Eaves for Deep Space Nine, while Rick Sternbach continued to fulfill the position for Voyager on his own. Martin has left the franchise on his own accords and on good terms. He has stated as reason for doing so, "I really feel that you need different experiences to grow as an illustrator. You have to push yourself to do different things. I know that finishing the third season of Deep Space Nine I was feeling pretty comfortable with the show and with what I was doing, and I think that's the wrong feeling for an illustrator. I wanted to increase my horizons, and maybe I needed to leave the womb of Star Trek. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but it was good to get out and work for some new people and to do different things." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 13, p. 27) Martin shortly returned in 2001 as freelancer for the pre-production of Enterprise's pilot episode "Broken Bow" as prop designer, but has not received official credit for his input.
Together with Brandon MacDougall, James MacKinnon, and Michael Westmore, Martin contributed as "spacecraft designer" to the video game, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (1997).
After having left Star Trek, Martin has worked a free-lance production illustrator on productions as Starship Troopers, Alien: Resurrection (1997), The X Files (1998), Mission to Mars (2000), Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001), The Scorpion King, Spider-Man and Lilo & Stitch (the latter three in 2003).

With the extra layers inside, it was TOO WARM for riding single track. I stopped, took out the inner layer, opened the vents and it was perfect for a high 40s day of dirt. Nice to have water inside the jacket as well. The back going very low around your rear and I didn't have an issue of water coming up my back. Had never heard of this band before, but based on reviews, I gave it a try and scored. Current pricing is a steal for what you get. I know this will work extremely well for my dual sport rides as well.

Comments On Sep 09, 2011:My husband absolutely loves his new jacket! We have been experiencing 100 degree temps and he wanted a jacket that would provide protection for his 50min commute home but was also cool. This jacket delivered both in style and temp. control. For the heat the really great thing is that the sleeves zip off but leave behind a breezy inner mesh lining that holds the elbow armor in place to still provide needed protection and a water hydration system. There are also good air vents, a removable vest if he needs any warmth, and a removable and waterproof liner just in case it rains. We bought the 3xl & it fits really well for someone that is 6' 270lbs w/a 53" chest. The quality of the jacket looks and feels excellent and would have been a good deal at regular price but is a steal on closeout!
Additional Comments On Sep 09, 2011:I also want to give a thumbs up to Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. We will definitely be buying here again.

|Previous Page | Next Page
That day the word spread about a transport of men and men of the Sonderkommando. Just a few minutes later and six hundred of the men of the Sonderkommando rebelled. Crematorium 2 went up in flames and the German Kapo, who excelled in cruelty, was thrown into the burning oven. In a battle at close quarters four SS men were killed and several others were wounded. The area surrounding the crematorium turned into a battlefield. The barrier around the area was destroyed and the rebels escaped.
All of the SS in the area were summoned to the camp. The work gangs stopped their labors and were returned to their blocks. A count of the prisoners was made. The SS men ran around the camp like poisoned rats. This was something they had not expected nor had it ever occurred to them that they would have to defend themselves against Jews.
I was privileged to see Rosa one last time, a few days before her death, Zabludowicz writes in his memoirs. At night, when all the prisoners were asleep, during curfew hours and the strict prohibition against any movement in the camp, I went down to the cellar of Block 11, passing through the darkened corridors and cells. I heard the groans of the condemned prisoners and I shuddered. I descended the steps, led by the Kapo, until we reached Rosa's cell. Yakov, the Kapo, opened the door, led me inside, and disappeared. When my eyes became accustomed to the dark, I made out a figure wrapped in rags, lying on the cold cement floor. The figure turned its head in my direction. I barely recognized her. Her face was marked from endless pain and suffering. After some moments of silence Rosa began to tell me about the sadistic means that the Germans had used against her during the interrogation and she said that she had accepted total responsibility without naming anyone else.Some days later the Germans assembled all the women who worked at the Union factory to witness the hanging of four of their comrades. Rosa was one of them. The women told of her calmness, courage, and pride as the Jewish heroine from Ciechanow walked to the gallows. This was at the end of November 1944.
I tried to comfort her but she refused to listen. 'I knew very well what I was doing and I know what is in store for me`, she said, and she asked that the comrades continue in their work:
'It is easier to die`, she said, 'when you know that your work continues`. There was a rustle at the door. Yakov called me to come out. I parted from Rosa. That was the last time I saw her.

Halliburton Company Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (HAL)
TheStreet) -- Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B- . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 11.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 8.6%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.32, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. To add to this, HAL has a quick ratio of 1.72, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Energy Equipment & Services industry and the overall market, HALLIBURTON CO's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- HALLIBURTON CO's earnings per share declined by 29.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, HALLIBURTON CO increased its bottom line by earning $3.26 versus $1.96 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 8.6% in earnings ($2.98 versus $3.26).

All of the places in the National Historic Site are linked by the 1.6 mile Black Heritage Trail. Free self-guided walking tour maps are available at the Beacon Street address given above. 90-minute guided walking tours are offered daily, Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, and at other times by special request (please call at least 24 hours in advance).

Admission: free
For more information, visit: http://www.afroammuseum.org/
Built in 1806, the African Meeting House is the oldest known Black church in America. The Meeting House was a popular place for African Americans to gather and many abolitionists attended church and antislavery meetings there. Maria Stewart (1803-1879), an outspoken abolitionist and feminist who promoted themes of racial uplift and female equality wherever she went, attended church there. A speech she gave at the Meeting House made her one of the first women in the nation to speak publicly against slavery and for female equality.
The African-American Female Intelligence Agency, founded in 1831, conducted its business at the Meeting House too. Women created the Agency as a literary and mutual aid society where they sponsored lectures and educational services for the moral and social uplift of their community. Through membership fees and agency dues, the Agency provided health insurance and other relief to those who needed help in their community, particularly for escaped and freed slaves. Stewart was one of the numerous women active with the Agency.

Faneuil Hall and the adjoining Quincy Market are the historic locations of Boston's women's fairs and protest meetings. Among the more famous are the Anti-Slavery Bazaars, sponsored by the Female Anti-Slavery Societies, which were held there in the 1830s and 1840s. Two of the other major societies that used the venue were the Female Anti-Slavery Society of Salem, organized by free African American women in 1832, and the American Anti-Slavery Society, founded in 1833, with people like Abby Kelly, Lydia Maria Child, Lucretia Mott, Maria Weston Chapman, Margaret Jones Burleigh, Mary Grew, and Sarah Pugh as members.
B5: Federal Street Church
Location: 100 Federal Street, Boston, however the building no longer exists at this site - it moved to 355 Boylston St. and became the Arlington Street Church. There is an historical marker on Boylston St. about the history of the church.
For more information, visit: http://www.ascboston.org/about/building.html
Numerous abolitionists, such as Maria Weston Chapman (1806-1885), attended the Federal Street Church in the first half of the 19th century. Chapman was a founder of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society and ran 22 annual antislavery fairs in Boston. She published several influential antislavery pamphlets, including How Can I Help Abolish Slavery? and Right and Wrong in Massachusetts. A feminist, Chapman also supported women's full participation in abolitionist work, including public speaking, which had been condemned by Congregational ministers in Massachusetts. In 1840, Chapman was elected to the executive committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society.
Another member of the Federal Street congregation was Eliza Lee Cabot Follen (1787-1860). Follen was best known for her anti-slavery writings such as Anti-Slavery Hymns and Songs and A Letter to Mothers in Free States. In A Letter, Follen wrote, "what can we mothers do? ... everything; I repeat, you can abolish slavery. Let every mother take the subject to heart, as one in which she has a personal concern. In the silence of the night, let her listen to the slave-mothers crying to her for help...."
B6: Julia Ward and Samuel Gridley Howe House
Location: 13 Chestnut St., Boston, building is not open to the public
Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910) and Samuel Gridley Howe (1801-1876) were abolitionists and humanitarians who lived in this house from 1863 to 1866. Outspoken about ending slavery, Julia was the first president of the New England Woman Suffrage Association. Later she became the first president of the American Branch of the Women's International Peace Association. Howe is also famous for writing the poem that became the hymn the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
B7: Harriet and Lewis Hayden, Ellen and William Craft
Location: 66 Phillips Street, Boston, Building is not open to the public
Former slaves Harriet (1816-1893) and Lewis Hayden (1815-1889) were heavily involved with the abolition movement. Their house became an important station on the Underground Railroad and is the most documented one in Boston. Two of the many fugitive slaves who stayed there were Ellen Craft (1826-1897) and her husband, William. When they escaped in 1848, Craft disguised herself as her master, bandaged as if ill, and tended to by her husband as if he were her slave. They escaped in their disguises from Georgia by taking the train and steamer to Boston, where they stayed with the Haydens, and joined the abolition movement.
After the Civil War, Harriet Hayden, her husband died in battle, continued advocating for African Americans, and, in the late 19th century, she bequeathed a scholarship for "needy and worthy colored students" at Harvard Medical School.

This site honors Harriet Tubman (1820-1913), one of the most famous abolitionists and Underground Railroad activists. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped in 1839, but she went back to slave territory nineteen times to lead over three hundred slaves to freedom. This building was the first settlement house built in the United States (1891), named after her to honor her bravery. In addition to housing a day care center and other services, the Harriet Tubman House has photos and exhibits about Harriet's life on display.
B9: Harriet Tubman Park
Location: Columbus Ave. & Warran St, Boston

Harriet Tubman Park is also dedicated to the memory of the brave abolitionist. The focus of the park is a 10-foot bronze sculpture honoring the famous "conductor" of the Underground Railroad. The statue is the first located on city-owned property honoring a woman and was sculpted by Fern Cunningham, an African American woman from New York.
B10: Home for Aged Colored Females
Location: 22 Hancock Street, Boston, building is not open to the public
At the beginning of the Civil War in 1860, abolitionists opened a home for elderly ex-slave women and free Bostonian Black women. The home was originally on Beacon Hill but was moved to this site in 1901 and stayed open through the 1920s, providing numerous women with a safe, comfortable place to live.
B11: Howard Athenaeum
Location: Pemberton Square (formerly Scollay Square), no longer at site; the building burned to the ground in 1961 and there is no historic marker designating the site.
Sarah Parker Remond, an international antislavery lecturer, made her first act of public resistance at the Howard Athenaeum. In 1853, Remond purchased tickets by mail for a performance at the Howard, but when she arrived on the night of the performance, the theater would not allow her to sit in the seats she had paid for and tried to force her to sit in the segregated gallery. She refused, left, sued the theater, and won $500 in damages. In 1856, she became an agent of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and, from 1856 to 1865, she frequently lectured in the United States and England on the evils of slavery and segregation.
B12: The Liberator Office Site
Location: 12 Post Office Square, the building is no longer at site, but there is an historic marker commemorating the former office.
In 1831, leading Boston abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879) started the antislavery paper The Liberator on this site. The Liberator became the most influential abolitionist paper in America. Maria Weston Chapman (1806-1885), a founder of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, was Garrison's chief assistant, helping him run the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, edit The Liberator, and edit the Non-Resistant, the publication of Garrison's New England Non-Resistant Society. Maria Stewart (1803-1879), an outspoken advocate of African American self-determination and vindication, had many of her speeches and advertisements for her lectures published in The Liberator. The paper's office moved
to Cornhill in 1834 and, unfortunately,
the Great Fire of 1872 destroyed the building.
