Poughkeepsie Bridge Walkway at Night
It is years later. Trains no longer run over the bridge; instead it is a walkway. Bernie Rudberg took a great nighttime picture from the walkway. See more about the great Poughkeepsie Bridge.
See our poster and brochure about a fan trip on the New Haven RR in 1937.
It ran from NY City to Bridgeport, Danbury, Poughkeepsie, Maybrook, and
Campbell Hall to Warwick NY. The brochure contains a description of the
route including the big bridge in Pok plus a map.
The fare was $3.50 round trip.
How much would you pay to ride that trip today ?
|Muralist Seth Nadel has painted a 5' by 10' wall mural in the 5th floor lobby at One Civic Center Plaza in Poughkeepsie, NY. The mural, entitled "Hudson Valley's Bridge to the Future," is a scene of the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge spanning the Hudson River. Walkway Over the Hudson, in cooperation with the Poughkeepsie Area Chamber of Commerce and the building's owner, Eagle-Riverview Group, Inc, sponsored a reception at the official unveiling of the mural on Thursday, February 9th, 2006. In addition to providing food and refreshments, Walkway had a display of information on the history of the Poughkeepsie Highland-Railroad Bridge and on the project to turn it into a walkway and bike path, as well as information on the rail trail connection the bridge will make between Hopewell Junction and New Paltz. There was a good turnout of public officials and business leaders including Assemblyman Joel Miller and Senator Steve Saland. Former Westchester County District attorney Pirro was a special guest. The event was well attended to the point of being crowded and everyone got a 13" X 19" signed color print of the mural.

Poughkeepsie Bridge
Artist sketch of the proposed bridge across the Hudson River.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
When the bridge was finally completed in 1888 it was a bit different than the one in this drawing.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
There were many different versions of what the Poughkeepsie RR bridge would look like. When the bridge was finally built it was not a suspension bridge and the rails were 212 feet above the river to allow large ships to pass under it.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee.
The finished bridge did not look anything like this artist version.
See an excellent picture of the bridge piers on our CNE in New York State page.

A project the size of the Poughkeepsie RR Bridge required a lot of labor and material. The above photo was taken from the Highland side of the river looking northeast. This structure is called falsework. It supports the work of building the actual bridge on top. When the bridge is completed ,the falsework is removed.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
The photographer was standing on the east shore of the Hudson in the south side of Poughkeepsie looking northwest. You can see the falsework between the bridge piers and the highland end of the bridge at left.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
The view is looking north along the west shore of the Hudson River at Highland. The west shore line normally had two tracks but a third track was added to carry construction material for the Poughkeepsie RR bridge. The third track was later removed.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
This view of bridge construction is from atop the cliff on the Highland side of the river. The City of Poughkeepsie is in the background. Note the men standing in the open on top of the construction more than 200 feet over the river. There were no safety nets.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
Here is the first section of the Poughkeepsie RR bridge in place and the falsework removed from under it. The view is from the Poughkeepsie shoreline looking northwest. The west shore railroad station is on the far shore in the center just above the empty bridge pier.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee This section of the bridge is being built over the waterfront of Poughkeepsie. If you look closely you can just make out the hand made ladder used to get up to the small crane platform on the right end. The sloping section in the middle seems to be a ramp to slide parts up to the top level.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
As construction progressed on the Poughkeepsie RR bridge, sections were fastened together in a high wire circus act 200 feet over the waters of the Hudson River. This view is looking north along the Highland shoreline.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
The Poughkeepsie waterfront was used to store much of the material for the big RR bridge. There is a steep cliff on the Highland side which left little room for storage.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
These sections of the bridge are about to be joined over the waterfront of Poughkeepsie.

New Haven Railroad Forum
The Central New England Railway (CNE) was a railroad across northern Connecticut and west across the Hudson River in New York. It eventually became part of the Poughkeepsie Bridge Route (an alliance between railroads for a passenger route from Washington to Boston) and later a line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
In this view from the Poughkeepsie waterfront, the bridge is nearing completion. The falsework has been removed from the western section and the center has been connected. Only the section over Poughkeepsie is incomplete.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
The Hudson River looks a bit chilly in this photo of the finished bridge. The first train trip across the completed Poughkeepsie RR bridge was in December 1888. The steel work looks to be rather flimsy in this view considering the weight of train traffic on the double tracks on top. As trains got heavier and traffic increased, additional steel was added. Still later the double tracks on top of the bridge were modified to a "gauntlet" configuration to keep train weight in the center. The disadvantage then was that only one train could cross the bridge at any one time.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
Here is a portrait of the completed bridge with the City of Poughkeepsie in the background.

Here is a view from the deck of the bridge looking north along the Poughkeepsie waterfront. The New York Central main line runs north along the shore of the Hudson River. In the upper right corner you can see the rail connection which was called the Hospital Branch. It went up the hill and used a switchback to deliver coal to the Hudson River State Hospital. There was also a connection to the Smith Street yard in Poughkeepsie providing access to the P&E and the P&C which connected to the line on top of the bridge. The rails on top of the bridge later became know as the Maybrook Line.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
A view looking south from the center of the bridge shows the waterfront of Poughkeepsie and the wake of the Highland ferry crossing the river. Today this view would include the highway suspension bridge that connects Poughkeepsie and Highland.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
This view looks over the bridge railing to the southeast over the Poughkeepsie waterfront. The large white building at left was the Vassar Brewery. Matthew Vassar used his beer making fortune to found Vassar College and Vassar Hospital. The dark buildings in the center are the Foster Lumber Yard. Right of center, at the foot of Main Street you can see the Poughkeepsie Highland ferry in the ferry slip. The larger white boat at the right side is the night freight boat.

This is where Main Street in Poughkeepsie reaches the Hudson River. The buildings are for the Hudson River steamboats and the Highland Ferry. At right is the Foster lumber yard. Horse drawn cars served Poughkeepsie and Arlington as far east as Vassar College. There was also a connection north to the Hudson River State Hospital. The big railroad bridge is to the right of this scene. Today this spot is a city park.
From the collection of the late Austin McEntee
Fast forward the scene to May 1974 and the Poughkeepsie waterfront looks very different. Traffic on highway US 9 is diverted onto Main Street to avoid debris falling from the burning bridge. Fire fighters had a difficult time getting water onto the fire. It was too high to work from the ground and the bridge approach had burned. They finally stretched hoses across the bridge from Highland and stopped the advancing fire. Creosote soaked railroad ties make a very hot fire.
After the Penn Central era, CONRAIL had taken over the bridge and the Maybrook Line. They did not really want it. They wanted to route all the rail traffic on their own rails through Selkirk yard and a bridge near Albany New York. The Poughkeepsie bridge had a reputation for having small fires from train wheels but they were quickly put out by the bridge fire watch personnel. As a cost saving measure the fire watch was canceled. They also allowed the bridge sand barrels and water pipes to run empty. It was only a matter of time until the bridge burned.

The Maybrook Line across Dutchess County The "Maybrook Line" was important to New England before the advent of Penn Central and before the Poughkeepsie Bridge burned. This piece of the railroad carried freight from Maybrook Yard, across the Poughkeepsie Bridge to Hopewell Junction where it joined a line from Beacon. The railroad then went to Brewster, then Danbury, and finally to Cedar Hill Yard in New Haven.

|The Richfield Springs branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railway extended through Bridgewater, where it connected with the Unadilla Valley Railroad, a shortline that served Edmeston and New Berlin, to Richfield Springs on Canadarago Lake, once a rather fashionable resort. Here, from 1905 until 1940, the DL&W had a passenger and freight connection with the Southern New York Railway, an interurban to Oneonta. Milk and light freight were the chief sources of revenue on this branch. Delaware Otsego subsidiary Central New York Railroad acquired this branch from Richfield Jct. to Richfield Springs, 22 miles, in 1973. Enginehouse was at Richfield Springs. Became part of NYS&W northern division after NYS&W bought the DL&W Syracuse & Utica branches from Conrail in 1982. Traffic on line gradually dropped off. Line east from Bridgewater embargoed in 1990. Abandoned and track removed in 1995, westerly 2-3 miles left in place for stone trains. In 2009: This old railroad is now owned by the Utica, Chenango and Susquehanna Valley LLC in Richfield Springs. They also own the 1930 Newark Milk and Cream Company creamery in South Columbia.

Welcome to Hopewell Depot Restoration Corp.
One of our members has created a Facebook Page about the Hopewell Depot Restoration.
The Hopewell Depot Restoration project also has a new web site.
I have been working on local railroad history since I retired from IBM 20 years ago. I have posted several hundred photos and stories about Hudson Valley railroads on a CNE web site. This web site has 23 sections. Just scroll down and select the section you want. If you have any questions or comments just send me a note.
In addition I did about an hour of video for a Marist College oral history project. About 6 minutes of my video session is in the "construction" section. Portions of this interview are now recorded for phone access as narration for the Walkway Over the Hudson web site. A number of photos from my collection are now being used on the interpretive signs on the Walkway.
Since my family background is in railroads in Sweden, I have always been interested in railroads and since I retired I have had time to study more. I am also the former president of a group working to restore our local Hopewell Junction train station into a small museum and educational facility.
I am also one of the organizers for the Central New England Railway Historical Tours. Every spring we tour a section of the old CNE Rwy with two bus loads of railroad fans. I do the navigating and narration for the tour. I have written the guide books for the last eight tours and I am working on the next one for spring 2012. Each book contains around 200 pages of photos and history for that section. Next spring's tour is now in the planning stages and will probably be in the area between Norfolk and Canaan CT.
I found the original record books of the ND&C RR at the Beacon Historical Society. The ND&C RR became part of the CNE Rwy in 1905. There are more than 30,000 pages of original railroad records. I wrote a book based on those records. It is called ND&C RR Twenty Five Years on the ND&C. It still available from the publisher and several local bookstores. I have also written a book of photos and stories about Hopewell Junction and East Fishkill which we are selling as a fund raiser for the Hopewell Depot Restoration.

This page provides supporting evidence for the occurrence of filter flare as
detailed on the main flare page. I captured a
residential area at night with the Planar 1.4/50 equipped with and without filters.
Dark pastures in front of bright street lights formed a merciless setting
for the observation of flare spots. The exposure was kept constant for all shots at
f/2 and 30 seconds on an ISO 100 film, and it speaks for itself that the filters were clean.
Figures 1–3 show a section of 5.7×4.0 mm of the original slides, around the image center. In the absence of a filter the meadows are clean: Fig. 1. By contrast, in Fig. 2 the addition of a high-quality UV filter comes with ghost images of the street lights. When a cheap UV filter is used (Fig. 3) the flare is worse with more and brighter spots, and even a window that stands out clearly against the dark grass. In all cases the highlights in the upper half and the ghosts in the lower half are mirror images of one another with the image center as the center of symmetry.
It is also interesting to examine the influence of the lens aperture on filter flare. To this end I made a larger selection of the original slide, measuring 18.7×8.6 mm. Fig. 4 is the no-brand filter again with the lens at f/2, whereas for the photograph in Fig. 5 the aperture was f/8, with an increased exposure time to maintain the same overall exposure. As it appears there is a clear influence of the aperture. At f/8 the flare is less pronounced, and more noticeably, there are fewer spots. The smaller aperture prohibits the occurrence of filter flare outside a circle of a certain radius from the image center. As a side effect of the smaller diaphragm opening the street lights are now saddled with the typical diffraction stars of nighttime photography.
The risk of being confronted with filter flare reduces with a smaller focal length, a
smaller aperture (larger F-number), an increased separation of highlights from the image
center, and with a better filter quality. However, by far the most secure way to avoid
this type of flare is to omit the filter altogether.

I have a 2011 wrx sedan with a ton of bolt ons. turboXS fmic/CAI, turboXS turbo back catted exhaust, perrin inlet, grimmspeed ebcs, GReddy type S BOV recirculated, DW65C fuel pump and I believe the rest is irrelevant. Basically a decent stage 2 setup.
I am running TP stage 3 e tune and I cant say enough about eric. However, I have had a knock or false knock issue for over a year that I can not get to the bottom of. Basically the car pulls timing and learns to pull timing at WOT under full boost. It ranges from 1* to 4+. I cant find any apparent mechanical issues and I don't hear it knocking when the issue occurs.
I'm very sick of this car and about to trade it in if I cant fix the problem. I don't believe there is a boost leak but I could be wrong. Someone who is avid in tuning and is familiar with these cars please point me in the right direction. No CELs, not over boosting or under boosting, no smoke from tailpipes, no smoke or puffing from oil filler cap. I'm baffled at this point.
today 3rd gear pull
a couple days ago again 3rd gear
this ones clean.....
this one is not bad either....
this is the worst one yet....
actually this is the worst one.....
ok......so that is just a little bit of the history of the logs......since that terrible one a revision has been made and I fear it is heading back down the same direction. Any insight would be great.

Chicago - Make plans to attend the IMTS 2014 Conferences to learn about Re-evaluating the EDM Process.
- Date: Monday, September 8 from 11:00 AM - 11:55 AM ROOM: W-194B
- Speaker: Ken Baeszler, Product Manager, GF Machining Solutions
Until recently, many manufacturers of titanium components have considered electrical discharge machining (EDM), either completely off limits, or to be used as a primary process coupled with a secondary operation. Many times, the secondary operation is solely in place to remove the parent material damage caused by the thermal process of EDM. Recent improvements in electronics have led to the development of new "clean" EDM generators that substantially reduce the heat affected zone and micro-cracking caused by the thermal removal of material. In addition to research completed at AgieCharmilles, independent studies are cited from the University of Birmingham that provides evidence supporting the re-evaluation of the EDM process, including:
- Improved EDM technology processes
- A review of EDM surface integrity results showing reduced heat affected zone and near zero recast layer and residual stresses.
- Fatigue resistance tests comparing the EDM process with the milling process.
- Alternative wire electrode materials (coated, pure steel) showing improvements in cutting speed and elimination of Zn and Cu contamination.
- Ability to control the thickness of the oxide layer through manipulation of the generator spark characteristics.
Today's clean EDM technology opens up new avenues of manufacturing for many titanium applications. Intricate parts can now be designed with the EDM process in mind, thus reducing tooling and material cost, improve deliveries and eliminate secondary operations.
The educational and informative conferences run Sept. 8-11, 2014 in the West Building, Level 1. To register for this or any session, visit http://www.imts.com/education/imtsconference.html.

Allow Sheds on Allotments Without Planning Permission Petition | GoPetition
In 2011 a new development of around a hundred allotment plots was created on a field in Armitage, Staffordshire. The take up was rapid and within months local people were producing fruit and vegetables for themselves.
A number of small sheds were erected on some of the plots, but Lichfield District Council soon served notice that the sheds required planning permission as they are permanent and substantial structures, and should be removed immediately. Since then it has been made clear that should planning permission be applied for it will be denied.
We believe that a 6 foot by 4 foot shed does not require planning permission for the following reasons;
The sheds are small in size.
The sheds are not physically attached to the ground in any way.
The sheds have no services such as water or electricity.
The sheds are easily moveable.
Many other councils have decided that 6 foot by 4 foot sheds on allotments do not require planning permission, and LDC could do themselves. The reason given by one councillor was "it is sensible to allow allotment holders to have a small shed on site in which to store various equipment".
I would like to explain why I feel a shed is vital to the allotment experience. My mother with whom I share the plot is 63 years old and retired, she cannot drive and lives in Lichfield. As there is a bus stop either side of the allotment she travels by bus.
She cannot carry the tools she needs, as well as wellington boots, change of clothes, and whatever else with her. They must be there, in the shed, awaiting her. Without them there is no point in her continuing. Similarly if rain comes she needs to have somewhere to shelter, she cannot simply duck into her car.
For my part, and my daughter who is 6 years old, we live in Handsacre, a mere 15 minutes walk from the allotments. I do not want to be driving to and fro each day, it is economically, environmentally, and health-wise unsound to do so. For myself and my daughter. She has had a new bicycle for Christmas and she will want to ride it down there as the weather improves I am sure.
Sheds have a further environmental benefit in that they can be hooked up to water butts to collect water, reducing the draw that needs to be made to the water supply. We intend going further than that with our shed and have plans to use it for growing yet more and diverse produce on, for example hanging baskets from it for trailing varieties of tomatoes.
The allotments have rapidly become a valuable resource to the local community, used by young and old alike, and accessible to so many because of the sheds. Without sheds there is a real danger the use of the allotments will become limited.

I'm Your Fan
In the concert film I'm Your Man, folksinger Leonard Cohen describes his childhood reading of the Torah as the earliest, and one of the strongest, influences on his poems and lyrics. And so it's a wonder that it took so long for sometime to create a Jewish tribute concert to Cohen's music. "He has used specifically Jewish liturgical and biblical references in many of his songs — 'Hallelujah', 'Story of Isaac,' 'Who by Fire,' 'If It Be Your Will' — and we'll be covering a lot of those," says Hal Aqua, organizer of Swallow Hill's Jews Do Cohen, and a member of the Lost Tribe, one of the groups that will be covering the Jewish-Canadian singer's classic songs.
"Most of Cohen's material deals with themes of spirituality, love, despair, social justice and redemption, things that can be approached from a Jewish perspective, and that's what led many of us to our song choices," he adds. "By and large, Jewish music inhabits its own world. Jews Do Cohen is an attempt to cross that gap — both to view Leonard Cohen's work in the context of his Jewish background, and to get Jewish musicians to stretch into the larger themes that his songs open us to."
Jews Do Cohen will sound off at 8 p.m tonight in Daniels Hall, 71 East Yale Avenue. Tickets are $16 in advance, $18 the day of the show; for more information, visit www.swallowhillmusic.org.

Australian pop star Cody Simpson is heading here not only to support good mate Justin Bieber but to be a guest presenter at next month's Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards. The 16-year-old Gold Coast-born, Los Angeles-based singer is making waves in the United States where he is now managed by Bieber's head minder, Scooter Braun.
Q: How did you and Justin Bieber meet?
Scooter introduced me to him a couple of years ago. I was looking for a manager and I had a bunch of meetings with Scooter and one time he asked me to come by one of his [Bieber's] video shoots and we hung out for a while. And then after that Justin had written a song [Beach Bodies] and we got together in the studio to do that, and then he asked me to come out on his tour.
Q: I asked Justin Bieber this question too, but don't you ever get sick of the screaming girls?
Um, no. I think it's important to never look at it in a way where it's annoying, and look at it like how happy you can make these fans.
Q: You're living in Hollywood but do you get homesick for Surfers Paradise?
All the time. Every day I miss the Gold Coast, I miss my friends, and I have a house in Los Angeles but it's not the same as home. I make it back home as much as I can but I'm excited about these shows [in Australia and New Zealand]. But my family are all here and we get to experience a lot of cool things together and they're along for the ride.
Q: You have a style that is very singer-songwriter but then the songs branch out into a mix of pop, hip-hop and dance.
As a young artist I think it's important to show your diversity. But as I grow up more I think now I can start to narrow down my own music and I think [second album] Surfers Paradise is my first step towards that.
Q: So how have you grown as an artist since the 4U EP, when you were only 13 years old, to Surfers Paradise?
I've learned so much, especially in the last two years with all the experiences I've had. But it was tough for me being thrown into such a crazy industry at such a young age, and not knowing what path I wanted to take and what direction I wanted to go in. I was just doing what others were telling me to do and who to be and all this stuff, and putting music out but it wasn't really true to what I was. But now, I've fallen on my feet, and with Surfers Paradise it's one of the very first times where I know it's me, right from the start, and I understand who I am.
Q: What is your earliest musical memory?
I was six years old and my dad had a lot of musical friends who would come round and jam. My parents bought me a guitar and I started playing songs from a really young age. And I've played ever since, but I never took it too seriously because I swam a lot [he was age group champ]. Music was just a hobby.
Q: Until you released 4U in 2010 that is. So why do you think you managed to break through when so many musicians don't?
You just have to have the motivation to work hard enough to actually make it through. I've always made sure I was the hardest working at whatever it was that I did and I feel like a lot of people aren't prepared for what it takes. So I just did everything I could to make it happen, and I'm always thinking about trying my best to make better music. But I've still got so far to go.

Species Description: A member of the sunflower family, the Maguire daisy (Erigeron maguirei) is a perennial herb with a branched woody base. Its stems and spatulate-shaped leaves are densely spreading and hairy. Its flowers are dime sized with white or pink petals. Bits of sand commonly cling to the hairs of the leaves and stems.
Location: Maguire daisy has been located from 5,200 to 8,600 feet in elevation. Highest plant densities occur on mesa tops between 6,000 and 7,000 feet in elevation. The species occurs from the San Rafael Swell in Emery County, Utah, south into Wayne and Garfield Counties, Utah, through the Waterpocket Fold in Capitol Reef National Park. Maguire daisy occurs primarily on the Navajo Sandstone formation. Individuals have been located within steep, narrow, dry, rocky, and sandy canyon or wash bottoms of the Wingate, Chinle, and Navajo Sandstone formations; sandstone walls of the Wingate, Navajo, and Cutler formations; cracks of large boulders; sliderock; and atop mesas of the Navajo Sandstone. Populations within canyon bottoms apparently are small, incidental occurrences established from seeds dispersed by wind or overland flow from source populations on the mesa tops.
Recent Actions: On January 19, 2011, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service published a Federal Register Notice announcing the delisting of the Maguire daisy. More detail is available in the attached documents:
The Maguire daisy was originally listed as endangered in 1985 (50 FR 36089). In 1996, the Service reclassified the species to threatened (61 FR 31054).

It's been a long time coming.
Before I get to it, I wanted to go over a little bit about how these things are done, how winners are selected, etc. etc. A lot of concerns were brought up to me regarding the selection of winners. I appreciate people trying to keep this as fair as possible -- and believe me, that is often a challenge in itself -- but ultimately the winners are selected at the editor's discretion...based on the following criteria:
- 30% Importance/Relevance – Does the contribution fulfill a request from the Contributor Challenge, or fulfill reader needs?
- 50% Depth – Is the contribution minor, or complete?
- 20% Quality – Does the contribution require heavy copy-editing or is it well-written and -formatted?
The above was pulled from the official contest rules.
First and foremost, the number of edits puts possible candidates in the running for the top contributor. I'll look at the spread of edits over the top five or so contributors of that wiki. If there's a large gap between one contributor and another, the contributor with the higher number of edits naturally has an edge over the others. I then take the time to go over these edits and confirm that there was no funny business with fluffing up edits and/or adding filler. If they are all legitimate, quality edits, then it's all copacetic. Now the tricky part is crowning a top contributor between two (or sometimes even three) contributors whose edit counts hover in close proximity to each other. That brings me to my next criterium.
Was the content added informative or relevant? Did it add to the quality of the page? The judging of quality is far more subjective than objectively looking at numbers. This is the part where it's at my discretion to discern a quality edit from, well, a lower quality edit. There's undoubtedly a difference between taking the time to write up an entire page and making multiple edits -- whether it's to correct grammar, fix format, or add more details you previously forgot to include. Many would argue or even accuse other users of intentionally rigging their edits to reflect a high edit count for doing the latter, and these underhanded tactics are wholly transparent to me -- I will find them and those edits will be discounted. Other than that, anything helpful is fair game.
Because the whole working wiki machine is the sum of all these parts. A very well fleshed out page needs details added to it, needs a copy edit, may need more details, and may need some formatting to make the page visually appealing and readable. If someone is piggybacking on your edits and making small relevant changes to it, that doesn't mean that person's edits are null. The only thing I do not tolerate is plagiarism, which is the act of copying information from another source without proper citation. Plagiarists will simply be disqualified. Plagiarism doesn't win. Ever.
But back to the point about users making multiple minor edits that some might deem as filler. Keep in mind that the full-time editors and our trusted staff of moderators all take the time to make the most minor edits as well. And if someone takes the time to make more than 1,000 edits to proofread and make a page more accurate, coherent, and a valid reliable source for others then I'm all for it! It only means a better, quality wiki for the whole community. That's the magic of a collective force working on a common project.
That being said, I take the edit count, adjust it for the type of contributions/edits from the user, and make my decision from there. It's never easy to appease everyone, but I do my best. Since, you know, I'm only one human, I can easily miss something you might've not. If you think you can make a strong case for or against someone, I will hear you out. Or better yet if you have suggestions I'm always open to them as well.
Just remember that the ultimate prize should be the fuzzy, warm feeling inside that you helped cultivate a living, breathing wiki with your knowledge and expertise.
I hope that clears things up for everyone. Hit me in the comments with questions and such.
Now on to the winners...
Diablo 3
The Avengers
The Witcher 2
Now the top two contributors OVERALL during the contest were Conkerkid11 and 37Bruins!
Congratulations to everyone! Please go this page and flag it with your full name and address within 7 days to claim your prize. Remember that you must be a U.S. resident to be eligible for prizes.
Thanks all for your patience, and thank you to ALL of the contributors for making these wikis so awesome. Also do me a favor: if you edited a wiki and actually liked it, tell people about it -- what you liked about it, what you didn't, etc. etc. And let me know in the comments if you have suggestions on how to improve contest formats or anything in general!

As an Italian soon relocating abroad to start a new job, I certainly enjoyed this article published on Mediaweek, presenting the the Ethnic Representation in Agencies report authored by COI senior campaign manager Mehboob Umarji. According to the study published last June, ethnic minorities account for only 8% of the media and creative agency workforce and almost half of those staff can be found in back-office functions. The research points out that the agencies which embraced diversity were also the most successful in terms of new business wins. Colin Colin Gillespie, managing director of All Response Media, shares his opinion on the issue:"From my perspective, the real key driver for getting ethnic minorities involved in more front-line roles, where they are able to have an impact on marketing strategy and creative development, is the background these people come from. The society we live in is very diverse and to be a media planner/buyer in the 21st Century, one needs to have experiences and, ideally, backgrounds which are reflective of that."
The alternative to Google AdSense, the advertising program for (big) and small publishers is just around the corner: Yahoo! has started testing its own solution inviting 2,000 bloggers to join the program. The New York Times reports Yahoo says its new small-site service will let a Web site specify what categories of advertising it does or does not want on a given page.
Sunday Timesreports drinks companies have been ordered to hire uglier men for their advertisements in Britain, to avoid suggesting there is a link between boozing and sexual success. According to guidance issued by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) men who star in alcohol ads that target women should be "balding" and "paunchy" rather than "attractive and desirable". All right, fine, but what about the use of sexy women? The new alcohol advertising rules have been launched in the UK at the beginning of June.
SM2 Publicidade has created a special print ad for Brazilian laundry network "5 à Sec" to be featured on Playboy 30th Anniversary edition. Copy: "The clothes that you do not see in this magazine, are currently being treated at 5 à Sec". [ad via Voxnews]
Advertising and music: love is in the air iPods have changed the way we enjoy music and advertisers are adapting to our new habits. But will we like commercials in our playlists? Reuters has a good article on advertising meeting the music industry. Ads in podcasts are one of the attractive options but, at least for now, Apple has decided not to allow commercials on its iPod device or iTunes download services. "We don't think it's part of the experience we want to give" explains Greg Joswiak, vice president of iPod product marketing. Craig Davis, chief creative officer of JWT Worldwide agrees with Apple's position:"People are using an iPod because they want to choose the music they listen to. To interrupt and intrude on that with advertising would be pretty unwelcome."
A survey carried out by the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising's 44 Club questioned 276 people (with less than six years in the advertising business) to find out the best UK agencies. artle Bogle Hegarty and Wieden & Kennedy where named the top two creative agencies to work for, while while Garry Lace and Sir Martin Sorrell are seen as two of the industry's role models. Mindshare and Mediacom were singled out as the best media agencies to work for. Revolution Magazine reports although most of the people is happy to work in advertising, only 36 percent of respondents expected to still be in the industry on ten years time.
T-Mobile has signed a partnership with Robbie Wiliams for an advertising campaign promoting mobile music downloads. Electronic Arts has chosen football player Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) as global brand ambassador. Vodafone has decided to stop "using" David Beckham's image in its advertising campaigns. The marriage is over and Vodafone has no plans to replace him. Actress Brittany Murphy is the first celebrity appearing in Jordache jeans ads.
AdFreak and Random Culture have two interesting posts on podcasting and advertising. How long should a podcast ad be? 15 seconds seems to be the answer, which means don't give listener the time to push the fast-forward button
I must start by saying I have a negative attitude towards product placement in movies, because most of the times it's done in a stupid way. Fortunately I'm not the only one thinking product placement is going to far. Rance Crain, editor in chief of Advertising Age wrote an interesting article yesterday on movies becoming "one gigantic product placement" and consumers getting tired of paying to watch a movie full of advertisements. Now there is also a new source of stress for movie lovers: Bluetooth promotional kiosks eager to connect with their mobile phones while they wait for the movie in theater lobbies. The New York Times reports 20th Century Fox has signed a deal with Loews Cineplex Entertainment to distribute movie trailers, ring tones and pictures through kiosks in three Loews theaters, in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. To me, the only good thing about this kind of initiative is that if you're really interested in this such goodies, at least you get the content for free. Actually I'm not against Bluetooth technology used to deliver (permission-based!) marketing messages, I'm just against movies becoming an advertising show. If you're interested in movies and product placement read also this: "Must love dogs" becomes product placement bonanza
In this post I point you to "In search of the right dead celebrity", an article where Anna Heinemann investigates the use deceased entertainers as stars in TV spots. Marketing Evaluation even compiled a chart of "dead celebrity likeability", with Lucille Ball and Bob Hope leading the way. The main question is of course: do people still recognize dead celebrity in ads? Apparently the answer is yes, at least for what concerns the US market.

Anguirus is a four-legged giant or irradiated dinosaur that looks vaguely similar to an Ankylosaurus. He has several horns at the top of his head and a single horn above his nose. His face is long and drawn out and has rows of jagged, serrated teeth, like a crocodile. His carapace is studded with long, sharp spikes. Anguirus' tail is covered with spikes and makes up most of his body length. His hind limbs are longer than his forelimbs, and he can stand up on them to his full height, though he generally walks upon all fours. Anguirus has a particularly strange brain, for he has not one but five, one in his head which controls all of his organs, and one more above each one of his limbs, each brain most likely controls the limb they are above. This gives anguirus an advantage in battle, for he can react much quicker than most Kaiju.

A short film from Berlin has taken top honours at a short film festival for students.
The winners of Unitec's Uni Shorts International Student Film Festival were announced last weekend, with Berlin entry Wie Ein Fremder (Stranger at Home) taking out gongs for Best International Film, Best Performance Award and joint People's Choice Award along with Dust Off, from Estonia.
If We Are to be Eaten by Wolves won the Best New Zealand Film title.
Judges called Wolves "a gentle, reflective, character-driven drama that captured in a simple yet moving way an aspect of the New Zealand experience during World War II".
Stranger at Home was described as a "very impressive piece".
"It brought together all the key elements of a moving and thought-provoking cinematic experience and it was very exciting to see this strong and distinctive vision in a student work."
Directors for each of the films receive $1000 in prize money.
Entries for an expanded 2013 festival will be called for in May.

Regardless of what software you use to play you DVD the title of the movie (I am assuming it's a movie) will show up in "Computer"
If you have tried several DVD's and you can't see the title in computer, then you may conclude that the drive is faulty.
Have you tried Windows Media player, that's capable of playing a DVD, but not a Blu-ray.
I don't have allot of faith in Cyberlinks software.
If it's Power DVD10 then there is an update for it. Save the update to the desk top and install it from there, not from a temporary folder. Restart after the update is installed, load the DVD by using the button on the drawer and let Power DVD load it automatically with out opening the program.

I rented a minivan from enterprise rent a car in Sioux Falls South Dakota, from the 4101 W 41st street location. we had the Van delivered to us to Billions collision center, (we rented this van through the collision center) on July 19, and returned it July 26. Insurance was billed for the rental, they charged the cost of insurance to my ATM card, after numerous requests for them to send me a receipt of the charges and failing to do so, almost a month later, I personally went to their office and asked for the receipt, after reveiwing the receipt I noticed they had charged us beginning July 18 to the 26, adding one extra day to the billing, they absolutely refused to itemize the charges that got billed to me for the Insurance. they have it labeled as deposit. and continue to insist that we picked the van up on thursday the 18, after visiting with the body shop they told me they should have warned me that they are known for doing this, I informed the insurance company that paid for the rental cost of these incorrect charges.

Next season, Alverno Presents will be even more of a player
For its 2013-'14 season, the Alverno Presents performance series plans to become even more eclectic and interdisciplinary than ever, with increased collaborations with local rock and indie musicians.
It also continues its transformation into an entity that commissions new work or, as Alverno Presents describes it in a media release, "curated events performed by a dynamic ensemble of Milwaukee and national artists."
Here's a look at Alverno Presents' next season:
"Nora Chipaumire: Miriam," 7:30 p.m. July 13. Dancer-choreographer Chipaumire, a former member of the Urban Bush Woman group, creates a work that reflects both Miriam Makeba, the famed South African singer and civil rights activists, and Christian iconography about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Lynden Sculpture Garden, 2145 W. Brown Deer Rd.
Global Union, noon to 6 p.m. Sept. 21. This year, Alverno's free, outdoor world-music festival offers the distinctive pairing of the Muslim devotional music of Qawal Najmuddin Saifuddin & Brothers with the Christian gospel of Milwaukee's Masonic Wonders. Niger's Tal National and the Montreal-based hip-hop collective Nomadic Massive also will perform. Humboldt Park, 3000 S. Howell Ave.
"Altos: Earth," 7 p.m. Oct. 4. Local musical collective Altos is creating an original score and will perform it live for Aleksandr Dovzhenko's silent Russian film, "Earth (Zemlya)" (1930), which will be shown as part of the Milwaukee Film Festival. Oriental Theatre, 2230 N. Farwell Ave.
"The Hinterlands: The Circuit," 8 p.m. Oct. 18 and 19. The Detroit ensemble that put on "Manifest Destiny" here in 2011 promises, or threatens, to bring "Vaudeville into the post-industrial age." Alverno College's Pitman Theatre, 3431 S. 39th St.
"Nick Sanborn: Lend Me Your Voice," 8 p.m. Nov. 8 and 9. Sanborn (Decibully, Megafaun), a Milwaukeean who now lives in Durham, N.C., is creating a storytelling and music show based on his experiences as a sideman with multiple bands. He'll be joined during the show by such musical compatriots as Christopher Porterfield (Field Report), Brad Cook (Megafaun) and Chris Rosenau (Collections of Colonies of Bees). Pitman Theatre.
"Lionel Popkin: Ruth Doesn't Live Here Anymore," 8 p.m. Nov. 16. Choreographer and dancer Popkin explores questions raised the legacy of dance pioneer Ruth St. Denis. According to the Popkin website, "the piece serves as a way for Popkin, who is half Jewish and half Indian, to wrestle with his own uncertainties and awkwardness with representations of South Asia." Guy Klucevsek, who performed in town recently, wrote an original score for the show. Pitman Theatre.
Dr. Lonnie Smith Trio, 8 p.m. Feb. 6. Since the late 1960s, the turban-wearing Smith has been one of the leading organists in jazz, playing every from standards to his take on Beck. Next time you visit Youtube, check out Smith's Hammond B-3 wizardry on "Willow Weep for Me." Alverno's Wehr Hall, 4100 W. Morgan Ave.
"Unlooped vs. Marvin Gaye," 8 p.m. March 1. Producer/DJ Tarik Moody assembles a cast of musicians and performers to take on Marvin Gaye's break-up album, "Here, My Dear," and the dark tale behind it. Pitman Theatre.
"LeeSaar The Company: Grass and Jackals," 8 p.m. March 15. This international dance-theater company brings a work described as both "a dance piece and a light spectacle." Pitman Theatre.
"Solo Flight: Colin Stetson, Jeanine Durning, and Morgan Thorson," April 14-20. Times and venues vary. Bass saxophonist Stetson (Arcade Fire, Bon Iver) and choreographer-dancers Durning and Thorson will perform solo works at locations around Milwaukee, including UWM's Inova and the Lynden Sculpture Garden.
Tickets for Nora Chipaumire's performance are $30. Ticket prices for the other performances will be announced later. For info, visit alvernopresents.alverno.edu.

Now THIS is kewl! Can't wait to see the finished product.
That is pretty sweet... I likey!
I've been toying with the idea of a new "Hemi" in my challenger...I could find one out of a wrecked car in a wrecking yard...but it just doesn't have nearly enough power to keep me happy...
That is pretty cool. The wheels aren't going to work though. Sometimes it's cool to see a nice car with a decent amount of power, but not a billion HP SBC or 302...
Lets collect some money and get that guy a shirt before we see more pics.Car looks heavy!I see an electrical nightmare in their future.
I've seen a few 50's Cads with FWD Northstars mounted for RWD. Interesting choice of engine! And it makes purists scream!
thats a RWD N* ;) . wonder why they didnt go with a SC'd 4.4 out of the XLR-V? 443 hp would be a lot cooler. nontheless that thing is nice! cant wait to see the finished product. adding the XLR wheels is a nice touch!Quote:

Some dude around here has a '53 Studabaker with a N* in it. It is a FWD version but turning the rear wheels. It's a mess due to the radiator hoses. The guy is an ******* as well.
I wonder if the chassis they are using, is that complete XLR drivetrain that was for sale on Ebay for over a year. Nobody ever bought it, so maybe these guys got it for this project. I had only ever seen the one on there, and I don't know where else they would get it from. Pretty cool project.
OH!... thank God. for a minute there i thought you were losing your mind. hahaha. no i think you can order the engines through your dealership.Quote:

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I spoke with Anthony Votta on Wednesday 07/09/14 to set up transport. I asked him if the quote that he provided one week prior for $550 for vehicle pickup was still good. He said that it was. I gave him the date of pickup (7-10-14) I read on his site that the money was refundable if a vehicle wasn't dispatched and that satisfaction was guaranteed. I confirmed that this was true and so the agreement began. He promised to send an invoice with details of pickup times and drop-off. He said to pay a $200.00 deposit and that the remaining $350 would be paid to the driver. In the beginning he was very courteous and appeared to be reliable by showing persistence in following up and contacting the dealer to introduce himself. I contacted him on July 10, 2014 at approximately 10 am CST and asked what time he would be going to get the vehicle since I had not received any correspondence via email since the agreement was sent. He said that he was going to contact the dealer and that he had a driver set to go that day to pickup the vehicle. I informed the dealership of our conversation. Hours passed and no one contacted the dealer nor myself. I then contacted Anthony via phone and email for a status but got no response. I became concerned because I'd paid this man and now he was avoiding me.
I began contacting other transport companies for quotes as a backup. After several more failed attempts to reach him I canceled. I left Mike a voice mail stating that I wanted to cancel. I called and spoke with another transporter and got a quote. I told him that I was working with Reliable Auto but had canceled. He looked at the board and saw that no one had picked up the request. The call was still on the board for $650 not the$ 550 promised. I was furious that I was lied to. Since Anthony would not respond to me, the broker called for me and Anthony answered. He was stunned to find that I was on the phone and began cursing me out. The broker was shocked and told him that he had no business talking to his customer like that. Anthony hung up and called me back cursing. He called me an idiot and made several other insulting remarks before I ended the conversation. I contacted,Mike, the owner who was even worse! He cursed me out and yelled at me. I advised my husband of what was occurring and we both called. Mike told my husband that he can speak to me in whatever manner that he wanted to and that he would sue if I canceled. Mike told my husband and I that a driver was scheduled for the next day(07/11/14). We were told two different things. I told him that Anthony said a driver was going to be there that day. He said he didn't know about that. I told him that we were canceling. He said that he was going to sue us because we signed an agreement. They still sent someone after we'd canceled so that they could keep the money that I am going to dispute. They both behaved very aggressively towards me. Anthony emailed me 8pm on 7/10/14 stating a driver would be to the dealer on 07/11/14. I informed Anthony again that his services were not needed and that he was being a bully and that I believed that he was treating me this way because I am a woman. In informed him that I would ensure that he is reported for fraud. He responded with a" LOL" stating that my money is now not refundable because he dispatched a driver.
I have read reviews on this site and see that other have had similar issues. This company should be shut down for the way that they handle their customers and business. They are crooks! Avoid them at all costs ! I wish I'd found this board before booking with them and paying upfront. Fool me once shame on you! I am now delayed on receiving my vehicle because of these unprofessional people.

I can't believe I'm saying this but way to go Sen. Rand Paul.
Is Apple doing anything illegal? No.
Then why are we having a hearing? The Senate thinks they should have moved their profits into the U.S. to pay the most possible in taxes.
Why not just close the loophole allowing such an action by a U.S. company? Because that would hurt U.S. business and deter expansion into new markets and subsequently decrease our exports.
How much tax revenue was wasted to target Apple for highlighting the fact that Apple did not actually do anything illegal? A lot.
I wrote this yesterday on a diff news. Just trying to make Apple an EXAMPLE!!! Most of these fortune 500 companies all filter there money the same way!!
Theres 2 sides to these stories. I saw this one dateline or one of those shows. Yes these companies are filtering money thru 12-14 countries to cycle there money thru and they are costing us between 50-75 billion in lose taxes to the government. BUT our government has created these loop holes and is legal for them to do. NOW guess who created these loop holes??? Your elected officials that you voted for congress and HOR And why were these loop holes created? because these congress and HOR officials are on the boards with these top companies. And guess what happens now that they created these loop holes and keep them open? There pockets are getting super fat with money!!! Go figure????? HUH????? Our government elected officials don't give a crap about the people, there only there for themselves to have power and control and why?? GREED!!!!!
Also in that show talking about googles money? the last country to goto is Ireland in some small town to a address of a small office with about 10 employees. thats where there money trail ends.
But like I said before if I own Apple would I do the same thing? Most likely. Other multinationals doing the same thing? Definitely. Do I know it is wrong? Yes.
Tim Cook (Crook) has come across to many as a greed-driven, arrogant cock-roach type of CEO.
And who is the miscreant individual with the bad pair of prescription glasses hovering up against the rear of Tim?
Most of the above comments being true and reasonable... Tax evasion/avoidance is something that the overpaid by (tens of millions per year) CEO's like Tim Cook typically sell their soul for...
These same overpaid greedy corporate elitists then conveniently pay slave wages to the builders of their products while they overcharge consumers and laugh all the way to the bank with their billions in ill-festering profits.
Apple management for the most part is lackluster, ego-centric, arrogant, over-paid and worthless in so many ways.
Steve Jobs aside from his own issues, led Apple to become an empire and his rebel spirit and drive are sorely missed these days.
May the wonderful employees of Apple that actually create, design and innovate keep the faith and do your best to unite and turn Apple around before it's too late.

Chico State Reacts to Proposition 30 Pass
CHICO, Calif. - Proposition 30 passed on Tues. night with almost 54 percent of the vote a ballot. The proposition is saving Chico State students from paying an additional $150 per semester--but charging California taxpayers.
There was a mixed reaction to the election results at Chico State.
"Yeah, I voted for it and hope it gets me the classes that I needed and the education that I want," Chico State junior, Willis Baker said.
Meanwhile, Chico State senior Carly Kinsman said that with tuition rising almost annually, she did not think the proposition "would have made a difference."
The proposition will increase sales tax from 7.5 percent to 7.75 percent and increase income tax for taxpayers who make over $250,000 per year.

Ok, so you didn't tell any of us that you were going there, and we all wondered why you weren't at small group last night!! I admire your travels, but you could at least let us know your whereabouts! =0) Have a wonderful time and keep in touch~ Joyce
Parque Nacional Palo Verde
Loading Map
Once, however, I turned off the main road, I had about an hour's drive on a dirt and gravel track that was full of potholes all of which were filled with rainwater, making it impossible to tell just how deep the pothole was. To save money I rented the smallest car available, which is just fine on main roads. On dirt tracks where I'm driving through streams that are crossing the road, deep mud that has turned the "road" into a quagmire (particularly difficult on an uphill section of the road) and potholes that swallow a tire, the drive is slow and tortuous and I definitely didn't have the ground clearance I needed
I made it, though, and drove through the entrance which was unattended because it was lunchtime. There's one main road through the park (dirt and gravel, of course) which is built on high ground through the forest just to one side of the wetlands. Wildlife is abundant, especially birds. A cloud of bright green parrots erupted from the trees and flew off as I approached. Of course they didn't return so I could take pictures. A turtle crossing the road was doing his best to escape but him I could catch on film. Most animals were too quick and too wary for me to take pictures of unless I wanted to spend time I didn't have to sit still for extended periods of time. So... for the most part... you'll have to take my word for it... it was beautiful.
I stopped at a research station where there was an attendant who told me about the park and gave me directions and a map. A little further up the road I could stop in the mud beside the road and slog to a wooden bridge that was built out into the wetlands. I could stand there in the rain and watch all kinds of birds feeding. I very much wish I'd been able to capture the brown bird whose picture I've attached in flight. I don't know if his wing feathers were translucent or the underside was just so bright it looked as if they were but his wings just lit up when he took flight. Again my issue was time as much as it was the rain. I very much wanted to avoid driving the dirt road in the dark.
I drove to the end of the road which was also the park boundary at the Rio Tempisque
I headed back out, stopping to take a short hike through the forest, up a hill to a rock that juts up above the forest canopy to give a panoramic view of the wetlands. This was still in the National Park, and I do know that you aren't supposed to disturb (much less kill) wildlife in a National Park. However... I don't believe that any of the hoards of mosquitoes I killed on that short hike were from an endangered species... at least I hope not. They were bad while I was hiking. If I stopped to take a picture it was as if the UN food supply truck had stopped in the middle of the refugee camp, and my blood was the special-of-the-day.
When I got to the entrance the chain was up to prevent the exit of people who'd entered (as I had) while the entry hut was unattended. I paid the $10 entry fee and when the attendant discovered I speak Spanish had a conversation. He was there by himself so I imagine it gets lonely. The entry fee brings up an interesting point. ATM's here give you the option of withdrawing funds in US dollars or Costa Rican colones. The dollar is widely accepted and the receipt for entry to this National Park was denominated in dollars. The attendant only knew the entry fee in dollars. He had to use a calculator to compute the fee in colones when I told him I didn't have dollars with me. I was fortunate to make it out of the park when I did. He put up the chain to close the park right behind me as I left at 5pm.
I almost made it to the Pan American Highway before dark, but not quite. The last bit of the dirt road was in the dark. Although some of the potholes I hit made me worry about a broken wheel strut or some other suspension part, I made it out and, except for lots of extra mud and dirt on the car it seemed to have survived what I'd put it through. From there it was a fairly uneventful drive back to Playas de Coco.

Ooops! Well, at least Gene & I knew where you were...but I did completely forget to do your attendance on Sunday morning. Sorry...I'll do better for the next 2 Sunday's.
Your pictures are gorgeous, Steve. Not only does it give me an idea where you are, it gives me an idea of the country where Gene's brother lives.
Just a hint...next time rent a jeep.
Love & prayers, Gene & Kathy
What absolutely beautiful country! I'm just wondering if the wildlife understand Spanish?!?! Ha. Well, I feel extra special because you did let ME know where your were going. Have a lot of fun... but you're already doing that. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you'll believe this, but the dirt roads I had to travel as a kid were worse!

I like the packaging , especially the fact its in glass and there's a lid. I love how it feels & finished my jar up rather quickly. Shea butter is amazing for every skin type, especially in cold, winter climates or if you're a person whose hands come in contact with water a lot. This is a great product to use all over your body in prep for sundress & bikini season too. A bigger jar would be my only suggestion...3
i bought this for my daughter. She has had a dry patch of eczema that has kept resurfacing for almost a year now - since my daughter got a flu shot. Expensive medications did nothing for it, but this is finally getting it to clear up. What a nice product. Not a lot of scent, which is great, due to the eczema. It is a nice, natural thick creme, that instantly softens when it hits the skin. I'm a huge fan.5
