...So from 1857 to 1873 no photographs were taken of this terminal. At least a few million people can through this terminal during that time period. Impossible ! ...

Your humble writer must non-concur with conclusion here? To remind the Photography of the day rather awkward and basic,
and used the glass plate images. Now, we know that Matthew Brady did record myriad views of progress of the War Between
The States. We may guess he had generous stipends from the 'Feds' to perform the work. Otherwise, camera equipment not
readily available. Someone had to pay for images, and it was not cheap.
More. Any idea of dates when News Papers could print available Photos using the 'half tone' processes? Until widely available,
the venerable practices of laborious etchings, so to document a scene.
So that? In the time window noted, very little use of camera equipment. All the best in your quest for images of the particular
era. This appears to be a tough challenge? Recall, the very impressive Ansel Adams works did not appear until 1927...

Many Thanks for your overview of processes on how endless images could be prepared for printing in newspapers, dailies, and popular journals.
Of course, in your writer's earlier remarks here, more a focus on how newspapers done.
This useful entry on 'Wiki' which reports history and progress of the 'half tone process'. The dates are more into the 1870s - 1880s eras. Agree,
yes, there were options to get images into print. Took much time and labor, in any instance?
BTW. Hmmmm... It has been a learning process! Didn't know history of 'half tone'...

Train Shed Cyclopedia # 38 Has info on 2 different depot terminals in Jersey City. Also a plan of a Passenger depot. All in the one issue.
* Passenger Depot Page 409.
* Terminal depot Page 412 to 421.
* Terminal depot Page 431 to 436.
�They are most likely a local station, and a PRR or Eire terminal. �But there is a hope. Anybody out there have train shed # 38.
�If you have it can you post here which depots they are and let us all know.
* Vern after you preceeding 2 posts. I changed the title to 1st and 2nd JC terminals. The focus of this topic is and will remain mainly the 1st terminal. The 2nd being only important to me, because, just like the first, in a almost total lack of information on these terminals. In all that you have said I wish you would tell us out here when photography started, so I can compare that date to 1834 to 1854, the date replacement of the 1st terminal occurred. I can't understand how the second terminal has no photos of it at all. It was there to the end of the Civil war. Ten's of millions of people passed through these 2 terminals and there is nothing to show of it. The first I can almost understand. The second I can't.

Thanks again Henry !
In reply 11, �Feb 21 2016 I added a important edit and a copy of 2 pages of info from Hills to the Hudson to clarify what was done.
Here is a copy of just the edit.
* I mentioned nut and bolts information looked for. Measurements of the footprint of the terminal, entire structure. Height of the terminal all locations. �Architectural measurements . complete plains of the building. These are the things I dont now. I also never found any reference to dates when things happened on this terminal. �
(Edit addition 5-4-16)
* Now taking the information on the block size out of paragraph 2, page 179, the block is 400 feet by 200 feet. This is the block purchased by the P&HRR. Taking visual note of the fact that the lot layout on this block, and the next block south where the NJRR&TCo. 1st terminal is the same and the block size the same. We now have a measurement to start with. Take the 200' length on the block along Hudson street. Note the there are 8 evenly spaced lots making up this 200 foot distance with each being a common 25 feet wide. Now the East West distance of 400 feet needs to be mathematically dissected. �Not a very hard thing to do. Each block is made up of 32 lots. Each lot is 25 feet wide and 100 feet deep. It works out perfectly. I now can work out the footprint of the train shed and head-house of this first railroad terminal of the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company. Yes with the information aviable no height measurements are aviable. Trust in the artist's rendition of the building and some more math will give us a average idea of the height of this train shed and its head-house. �
* Are there any draftsmen, mathematicians, or 3D person out there reading this who would like to contribute here and come up with a block drawing with building footprint measurements applied to the drawing. Then using the 1848 sketch showing the west end of the train shed with its three doors, come up with the height of the side walls and peak of the train shed. �

What has been going on.
*In my search for information on the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company being disappointed is a regular occurrence. I seem to always be picking the wrong railway projects to get interested in. �This railroad the NJRR&TCo. is the third to be granted a charter by the State of New Jersey, received theirs �on �March 7th 1832. The 1830 charter granted to the Camden and Amboy being the first, and the second going to the Patterson and Hudson River railroad on Jan.- 21- 1831. My reason for picking this railroad is because it was the first one to build a terminal on the Hudson River in New Jersey.
* The first thing I found out about this railroads terminal was at the Jersey City Public Library in the book "From the Hills to the Hudson" by Walter A. Lucas, a book published in 1944. A map of a 1844 view of Powles Hook on p-178 and 2 smaller than postcard views of the terminal on Page 179. The top view being of the terminal from the south-west corner of Montgomery and Greens Streets. This is a 1834 view of the listed as completed terminal. The bottom view is a 848 view taken from the north-west corner of Greene and Mercer streets. The top being a poor and incomplete drawing. The bottom one drawn from a low angle, done quickly with the most basic of detail. At the Library on the wall was a 1848 map of Jersey City. In the lower right corner was a drawing of the Jersey City waterfront with tucked in its corner, a view of most of the east wall on Hudson Street. A third terminal view has been added.
* In the next book I found out about was "From Indian Trails to Iron Horse" "Travel and transportation in New Jersey 1620-1860", by Wheaton J. Lane. Published in 1838. Now this book I was told would answer some of my questions. Being I was looking for info on the buildings of the New Jersey Railroad in Jersey City. Information here was on the problems building the railroad. What was here was the same as I found to be in the book "From the Hills to the Hudson". As to views or information on the terminal or engine facilities there was none.
* The next book I hoped would provide me information was " Railroads in New Jersey"," The Formative Years", by John T. Cunningham. Published in 1997. The index listed 19 places where the info on the NJRR could be found. There is no list on illustrations. This big book with 328 pages has to have something for me! Well it almost didn't. Though I was underwhelmed, and there was nothing new, on page 61 in a yellow info box a statement is made, " The best material ever assembled on the NJRR&TC0. Appears in Volume 88 (1957), by " the Railway and locomotive Historical Society. Yep a bulletin of the R&LHS. After 3 expensive book gave me little I have now a chance to spend more on what?
* �Well I got the Bulletin #88.It has nothing new for me in it. Well with the 3 drawings and tax map info i have something.
* �Well folks. Let's not get excited but another book has been found. " Early American Railroads" by Franz Anton Ritter. Published in 1848. Right at the time of the first terminal. That is 125 years between publications.
*Next is a few lines from the introduction of that book. This one a translated copy released in the 1990's.

Umm - the German author (and engineer) cited was NOT named "Ritter". His family name was von Gerstner. Ritter was a hereditary title and the proper usage would be Ritter von Gerstner, or in English "The Knight von Gerstner").
Sounds like a book I might ought to run a copy of down. In English, not German. MY German is NOT adequate for that sort of publication. Really was, at its best, adequate for a newspaper or a military frag order. And that was when I was using that language in the long ago.

Well I have been told that by the people at Rutgers University. The first time I called up that book in a search on line the name in the shorter version appeared. Every time I search it using the short version it comes up.
** Good luck to you for the book goes from $400 + dollars like new, to a used one of $85. The German one from 1840 is free online. Here in New Jersey at Rutgers university are 2 copies one each in 2 of their different Librarys.
The Rutgers people said "Ritter" was his surname? Hmm - I met at least two Germans while I was over there who were "Johann Ritter von something" They seemed to think the surname was "von Something". I just assumed they knew...
As to the price, be used or not obtained. $400+ is past my book budget. $85 requires a bit of thought, but could be handled.

My last post was in response to your info. The Rutgers people agreed with you. I was just saying to search on line all I used was the shorter version.
Ah, sorry I didn't understand.My German is pretty weak these days, from long disuse, over 40 years, but some still some sticks and I get the odd refresher from reading military history of the barbaric wars of the last century in Europe.

* Well Clyde, I guess that your Barbaric wars of the last century would be WW1 and WW2. The outright butchery of WW1 all because ONE man was killed. Then the German extermination of Millions of Jewish, Russians, other Europeans murdered by the wonderful toy making German people. Then I know what you are talking about.
* Getting back to current events, my dilemma is that I wasn't alive since 1830, and not able to leave some info to myself on the 1st terminal in Jersey City. Don't know how you could build one and not leave info on it. Have you ever searched the Library of Congress? I have been very ineffectual in all my attempts. Maybe I should just write my Congressman and inform him of my Dilemma. He might be able to help me.
Yes, those. nd the Balkan Wars just prior to War One and Korea, and Vietnam (where I spent some time, dammit).
Actually, for all that people claim War One was caused by the murder of one man, it wasn't. That event can perhaps be claimed as the match that lit the fuze to the powder magazine, it was probably inevitable within 6-12 months, as the Austro-Hungarians needed and wanted and earnestly sought a war there, Serbia the min target for reasons that involved internal socio-political and military reasons. Damp fools, but there you are when you have a very ramshackle and unworkable Empire.

*Though after this the NJRR brought the born Englishman, then �Brooklynman, then Jerseyman with the name, Job Male�in as there man for designer and builder for the railroad, Their 1st Chief Construction Superintendent, the times really changed. He was a man of his time. He earned money the hard way. He worked and earned it. �As a architect, he was the man in the right place at the right time. From 1845 to 1860 he designed and built almost everything along the Jersey City shore line. The Cunard line terminal, all the ferry slips, The 1857 2nd terminal for the NJRR, The Two Tower Terminal. All the freight facilities of the NJRR. Quite a man. A interesting time in Jersey City. He was known in Plainfield New Jersey as �" Plainfield's Grand Old Man ".

I did some good research here only to get to a dead end. I do feel that I will build this first terminal. Just that there will be some freelancing in the design because their is no info on it other than the scale footprint of the building from a map, and the it kind of looks like this views, that are aviable. At least no one can say mine is wrong once done. For the head house I will go with the better detailed drawing on the 1848 map. For the train shed part and the rear of the head house a combination of the other three views will be done. Contradictory people wont have anything to support a not correct comment.
I am still open to any new info that anyone has and would like to share. Until then, I must be right.

I have redone my drawing of the first terminal in New Jersey on the Hudson River. The first was a drawing showing a angular view showing two of the walls. This one is just a east wall view of the front of the terminal. This is what the terminal looked like around 1840.

The first Railroad terminal in Jersey city.
� ***First about the last post�s drawing and the architecture of this station.
� **Why I drew it the way I did.
� * The footprint of the terminal on both the 1844 and 1848 maps appear to be the same in overall size. The 1844 doesn�t show the column location as does the 1848. The north and south walls of the head house are not symmetrical in that the north wall ends behind the second column from the north. The south wall is shown only going 1/3 of the distance between the south 2nd and 3rd columns. No one builds a lopsided building. So my drawing does take advantage of the lack of information and use what can be seen. The pitch of the roof of the head house is less than that on the trainshed, and second story windows do show on the head house. A 9 column colonnade across the buildings front is shown, and 5 along the sides. There are 17 columns. These columns support a facade that offers a covered walkway on three sides of the headhouse. No one designs a structure like this placing the doors when viewed from the front behind columns. Because they are decorative, and not meant to be hidden. The front wall has 6 spaces between columns. The 2 double doors I have chosen fit nicely into the front view.
� * Keeping with these guide lines, and the sparse information available on this 1st terminal, my drawing add a little something to that information.

stara827 Review
Well I ordered this product on a Monday afternoon and it was on my doorstep on Wednesday morning! My boyfirend assembled the bed for me so I couldn't see how difficult it was, but he said it wasn't that hard to put together. All in all the quality is very good and the fabric is extremely soft! I just hope my cat doesn't start to use the side pieces as a scratcher. With the right decorations (i.e. lamps, wall art, and tables) the headboard will look awesome. I love this bed and it's very unique. This was a good purchase. However, I have both the box spring and matress with a foam matress topper and it's definitely too high. I think I'll buy more board for support and just have the matress and topper on the bed so it's not as tall. Other than the color being different than the picture (more of a caramel instead of a sandy taupe) I am pretty please with this purchase.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color is completely different that the picture, it is more of a tan caramel instead of a sandy taupe, which is kind of a bummer, but I guess I'll get used to it.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is very good and the corduroy is extremely soft. My boyfriend assembled it, so I couldn't examine the product, but when I took it out of the box it seemed very sturdy and not cheap! It's very nice and with the right decorations (i.e. lamps, wall art, and nightstands) the bed will look very pretty and definitely unique.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The description is pretty accurate. The only problems I have with the bed is that the supposrt boards feel kind of flimsy, perhaps I should go to Home Depot and have some boards cut for more support.

TDF – Stage 15: Bring it On in the Alps
Embrun – Prato Nevoso 182km
OK, I lied – I did not come back yesterday, and I'll tell you why: it was my husband's birthday, our son's best friend was in town, we just had other things to do. But, I did get my little 3 mile morning walk in yesterday, and a nice 6 miler this morning.
So, here we are in Stage 15 and I'm watching the video of a nasty crash on both sides of a huge rond point at somewhere around 50k to go. The initial word is that Vandevelde crashed, Garmin-Chipotle definitely did, on rain-slick roadway.
Vandevelde is back on his bike – phew!
Time for a little recap of this weekend's events:
- Cavendish won his 4th Stage, packed up and left for home where he will prepare for the Olympics. I was hoping he'd stick it out to Paris; but, there was always that expectation that he'd leave early. What a great way to bow out, though!
- Baroloworld will no longer sponsor the Tour and out of cycling.
- GC standings after Stage 14:
1 001 Cadel EVANS AUS SIL 59h01'55" 00"
2 017 Frank SCHLECK LUX CSC 59h01'56" 01"

I just noticed that the markings on the rond point the riders just passed through – safely – has I-Ching markings…interesting…I'll get back to this, later.
UPDATE on the earlier nasty crash involving Oscar Pereiro and Robbie Hunter: Oscar – broken shoulder and femur, he's in hospital, otherwise okay; but out of the race. Best wishes to Oscar!
David Millar was also in that earlier rond point crash; looks like Robbie Hunter is on his bike.
So, we're headed into Italian territory before tomorrow's rest day.
Had to scan back through the route reports to see what happened on the HC climb: Danny Pate shoved a bunch of newspapers under his jersey for warmth on the descent. Y'know – I always wondered what that was all about!
Egoi Martinez – go Eqgoi! – took the HC points. Mark Renshaw abandoned, one less support man for Huschovd.
Martinez allowed another rider to take the next points on the Cat 3 climb. Let me double-check spelling for Arriete – Arrieta (AG2R) – how very gentlemanly of Egoi – go Egoi! Another example of why we love this sport!!
Will there be a change in the GC standings? Most likely another rider will be in yellow, making the 6th change this year. Am I speaking too soon? Are the commentators speaking too soon? Is Paul Sherwin ever wrong? haha!
CSC is making their move on the Cat 1 climb! The last of the stage – CSC wants to upset Cadel Evans with either Frank Schleck or Carlo Sastre – but, who would they be kidding. Wouldn't Cadel already expect this?
Sprinters hate to climb.
My apologies if you're refreshing your browser while I'm editing my commentary – my live feeds have been slow to recover from that first nasty crash around the rond point (everyone's scrambling to figure out what happened to whom), and I'm trying to keep up with Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin, LOL!
Where in blazes is Team Columbia? C'mon guys!
I have to say, along with a million other fans I'm sure, that Garmin-Chipotle is certainly performing incredibly well in their first appearance in the Tour. Way to go, G-C (hey, I like that)!
Inside 10K to go and it's finally getting fun!
Frank Schleck wants to shut down that 1 second lead of Cadel Evans.' Meanwhile, Cadel is every vigilant; he doesn't need to react right now, with 5K to go.
If you were Andy, would you sacrifice yourself for Frank?
Vandevelde is still hanging in; Kirchen is not having the best of days; Danny Pate is working hard.
Team CSC is on a mission!
Martinez surprised Danny Pate with an unexpected attack, but Pate is right after his wheel. Menchov went down! He's back up, but the rain had just started – no fun on a hard uphill push!
Andy Schleck is doing his brother proud by pushing the lead group hard up the climb to the summit with 2k to go!
Cadel Evans is in trouble, but Menchov's attack didn't deter him.
Frank Schleck may be in a little trouble, sitting on Cadel's wheel. Andy is wavering at the front of the lead group. Valverde is moving ahead.
1k to go and Danny Pate takes the lead!
Valverde has lost time, Andy has dropped back, Cadel Evans and Frank Schleck are battling for position.
I'm exhausted just watching!
Simon Gerrans takes the stage!
Gerolsteiner's Bernhard Kohl pushes forward, trying to take the yellow jersey away!
Kohl crosses the line and Cadel must cross inside of 4'49" to keep the yellow!
Frank Schleck is in!
Results are still coming in, but this is what I have, so far:
Stage 15 results:
1 086 GERRANS, Simon AUS C.A
2 024 MARTINEZ, Egoi ESP EUS
3 199 PATE, Danny USA TSL
4 102 ARRIETA, Jose Luis ESP ALM
5 115 KOHL, Bernhard AUT GST
6 011 SASTRE, Carlos ESP CSC
7 031 VALVERDE, Alejandro ESP GCE
8 131 MENCHOV, Denis RUS RAB
9 017 SCHLECK, Frank LUX CSC
10 191 VANDEVELDE, Christian USA TSL
GC Standings after Stage 15:
1. SCHLECK Frank 17 TEAM CSC SAXO BANK 63h 57′ 21″
2. KOHL Bernhard 115 GEROLSTEINER 63h 57′ 28″ + 00′ 07″
3. EVANS Cadel 1 SILENCE – LOTTO 63h 57′ 29″ + 00′ 08″

5. VANDEVELDE Christian 191 GARMIN CHIPOTLE 63h 58′ 00″ + 00′ 39″
6. SASTRE Carlos 11 TEAM CSC SAXO BANK 63h 58′ 10″ + 00′ 49″
7. KIRCHEN Kim 41 TEAM COLUMBIA 64h 00′ 09″ + 02′ 48″
8. EFIMKIN Vladimir 104 AG2R-LA MONDIALE 64h 00′ 57″ + 03′ 36″
9. VALVERDE Alejandro 31 CAISSE D'EPARGNE 64h 01′ 32″ + 04′ 11″
10. SANCHEZ Samuel 27 EUSKALTEL – EUSKADI 64h 01′ 55″ + 04′ 34″
11. ASTARLOZA Mikel 22 EUSKALTEL – EUSKADI 64h 02′ 39″
Well, so there it is: the yellow jersey will change hands, perhaps to Cadel's relief. Andy did his brother Frank proud. Danny Pate was vocally disappointed (but, word is he's typically pessimistic, anyway). CSC will most likely keep pushing toward greatness in the Alps.
The monster climb is 3 days away.
Have a terrific weekend.
TDF 2008 – Stage 5: Columbia hails Cavendish
The commentators said this would be the longest stage of the Tour. It seems it was also ridden in sunny weather with just a little break from the heat. In the end, Mark Cavendish was finally able to pull out all the stops and take the stage, and is the best young rider, for Team Columbia.
Both new USA teams are enjoying a successful Tour, so far.
The standings:
Stage 5 results Top 10
1 Mark Cavendish (GBr) Team Columbia 5.27.52 (42.45 km/h)
2 Oscar Freire Gomez (Spa) Rabobank
3 Erik Zabel (Ger) Team Milram
4 Thor Hushovd (Nor) Crédit Agricole
5 Baden Cooke (Aus) Barloworld
6 Robert Hunter (RSA) Barloworld
7 Leonardo Duque (Col) Cofidis – Le Crédit par Téléphone
8 Robbie McEwen (Aus) Silence – Lotto
9 Francesco Chicchi (Ita) Liquigas
10 Julian Dean (NZl) Team Garmin-Chipotle p/b H30
GC Top 10
1 Stefan Schumacher (Ger) Gerolsteiner 19.32.33
2 Kim Kirchen (Lux) Team Columbia 0.12
3 David Millar (GBr) Team Garmin-Chipotle p/b H30
4 Cadel Evans (Aus) Silence – Lotto 0.21
5 Fabian Cancellara (Swi) Team CSC – Saxo Bank 0.33
6 Christian Vande Velde (USA) Team Garmin-Chipotle p/b H30 0.37
7 George Hincapie (USA) Team Columbia 0.41
8 Thomas Lövkvist (Swe) Team Columbia 0.47
9 Vincenzo Nibali (Ita) Liquigas 0.58
10 José Iván Gutierrez (Spa) Caisse d'Epargne 1.01
Question: Do you think it unfair of the Tour to have stuck to its ban of Team Astana, even though it is a rebuilt team, thereby preventing Alberto Contador from defending his yellow jersey?
TDF 2008 – Stage 2: Versus jersey changes hands
Auray – St. Brieuc
What I'm enjoying the most is that this Tour is not so predictable as in the past because the human variables have changed drastically as the organization embarks upon a "brand new start." On a blustery, partially rainy day with a lovely start from Bernard Hinaut's home town (what's with that little silver plate presented to the legendary cyclist?), the mighty Thor stole the finish line from a potential Columbia win. Team Columbia, with Kirchen (place 2) and Ciolek(place 3), makes another good showing on their second day, leaving teammate Cavendish, one of today's favorites to take the finish, out of the top 10. Perhaps Big George Hincapie's unparalleled experience and wisdom is proving a powerful influence on this new team. As for Garmin-Chipotle, where the heck are they?
Overall, Valverde keeps a 1 second advantage and the mellow yellow. Kirchen takes the green jersey, hail Columbia! (And Craig Hummer takes the Versus commentator's yellow jersey out of suspension and away from Paul Sherwin.) Whatever happened to Al Trautweig?
Sound off: What do you think about no Prologue and no time bonuses for the top 3 finishers in this year's Tour? Do you think the French organizations are simply trying to stack the deck in their favor?
TDF 2008 – Stage 1: and the winner is Valverde
2008 Route
Brest to Plumelec
A bit of wind on a beautiful day to start the 2008 Tour de France from historic Brest, Bretagne, and then a crash takes out Duclos-Lasalle. Cadel Evans, Tour favorite, and Robbie McEwen, sprint master par excellence, led the peloton into the last few kilometers to the finish at Plumelec, and another crash nearly claims another rider. Then we saw Team Columbia (High Road) push forward causing us to believe we may be singing "Hail, Columbia!" Up pops Erik Zabel with less than a kilometer to climb. Kim Kirchen led briefly until Alejandro Valverde dominated the finish.
Congratulations to Valverde for taking the first yellow jersey of this Tour. Good for Columbia, Kirchen (place 4) may have more to show us as the Tour continues. It's going to be a very interesting 3 weeks. At least I can find one set of blue jerseys in the pack (yellow band on Columbia sleeve). As for Chipotle, I'm still trying to identify their jersey as they fly past cameras!
Anyone out there have photos to share?

Windgate Charitable Foundation Awards a $600,000 Challenge Grant for Continued Growth of The Center for Art in Wood
The Center has been awarded a 3 year, $600,000 challenge grant by the Windgate Charitable Foundation. Every dollar we raise up to $100,000 each year in 2012, 2013, and 2014, will be matched by Windgate with two dollars. More Info
The Center for Art in Wood announced August 29th that the Windgate Charitable Foundation has awarded the Philadelphia visual arts nonprofit with a $600,000 Challenge Grant.
The 3-year Challenge Grant displays continued support on the part of the Windgate Charitable Foundation for the growth of The Center for Art in Wood, which moved to Philadelphia's prominent Old City District in 2011, a sign of its vision for expanding the organization's reach to new audiences. Albert LeCoff, the Center's Co-Founder and Executive Director, explains, "In addition to Windgate's annual support of the Windgate ITE International Residency Program, which is the Center's renowned residency program, and other operational support, this grant displays the foundation's continued efforts for expanding our organizational capacity. Windgate is nothing short of a vanguard with regards to the support of the arts on an international level."
The Windgate Challenge Grant encourages donor giving by incentivizing new and continued gifts. When a donor renews a previous gift to the Center, Windgate will double the gift with a 1 to 1 match. For every new or upgraded gift, Windgate will triple the gift with a 2 to 1 match. Richard Goldberg, Board President of the Center says, "The Challenge Grant is a galvanizing development tool. It helps provide the Center with vital funds while also encouraging the cultivation of new supporters." Donors interested in making multi-year gifts should contact the Center for more information on how to maximize giving and for more information.
The Center, which features changing exhibitions, a permanent collection, research library, and museum store, also offers public outreach programs, education programs, and the Windgate ITE International Residency Program for artists, photojournalists and scholars. The Challenge Grant comes on the heels of unprecedented community support for the Center. Last year, the organization announced the launch of a capital campaign with a $2 million endowment gift from the Windgate Charitable Foundation. Earlier this year, the Center hired Levi Landis as Director of Business Operations, courtesy of grant support from the William Penn Foundation. Landis remarks, "The latest grant award by Windgate is a remarkable display of support. It's a touchstone among the unparalleled support the Center has enjoyed as we approach our 30th anniversary in 2016."
Now until October 25th, the Center's gallery will display allTURNatives: Form + Spirit 2014, a multidisciplinary exhibition and the culmination of the Windgate ITE International Residency Program. The exhibition presents each resident fellow's experiences, including objects produced before and during the residency. Three-dimensional work is accompanied by photos, essays, films, and other documentation depicting the summer residency experience. You can view the exhibit online at www.centerforartinwood.org/current-exhibiton.

This application is a continuation of and claims priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/211,880, filed Sep. 17, 2008, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/095,008, filed Mar. 31, 2005 entitled Papermaker's Press Felt With Long Machine Direction Floats in Base Fabric, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/084,899, filed Mar. 21, 2005, entitled Papermaker's Press Felt With Long Machine Direction Floats in Base Fabric, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein in their entireties.
The present invention relates generally to papermaking, and more particularly to fabrics used in papermaking.
In the conventional fourdrinier papermaking process, a water slurry or suspension of cellulosic fibers (known as the paper "stock") is fed onto the top of the upper run of an endless belt of woven wire and/or synthetic material that travels between two or more rollers. The belt, often referred to as a "forming fabric," provides a papermaking surface on the upper surface of its upper run which operates as a filter to separate the cellulosic fibers of the paper stock from the aqueous medium, thereby forming a wet paper web. The aqueous medium drains through mesh openings of the forming fabric, known as drainage holes, by gravity alone or with assistance from one or more suction boxes located on the lower surface (i.e., the "machine side") of the upper run of the fabric.
After leaving the forming section, the paper web is transferred to a press section of the paper machine, in which it is passed through the nips of one or more pairs of press rolls covered with another fabric, typically referred to as a "press felt." Pressure from the rolls removes additional moisture from the web; the moisture removal is often enhanced by the presence of a "batt" layer on the press felt. The paper is then conveyed to a drier section for further moisture removal. After drying, the paper is ready for secondary processing and packaging.
Press felts typically include one or more base fabric layers along with one or more batt layers. The base fabrics can be single or multilayer designs, although recently conventional fabrics have often been replaced with laminated fabric designs, which can include, for example, a fine top fabric for enhanced pressure transfer uniformity and a more open bottom fabric design for improved dewatering. Most commonly, laminated base fabrics comprise two single layer fabrics needled together, although double layer fabrics may also be used. Even three or more fabric layers may be employed in some fabrics (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,277,967 to Zehle et al., the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety). These fabrics have typically been woven on 12 and 16 shed patterns such as plain weaves or twills or 6 harness satins. However, these fabrics often suffer from increased start-up time.
Other advances in press felt design have incorporated non-woven base layers. Exemplary of these are spiraled fabrics, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,240,608 and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20040005833, the disclosures of each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. Non-woven fabrics can enjoy as an advantage the absence of a knuckle on the top surface of the fabric that can negatively impact paper marking. However, these fabrics can tend to suffer from hydraulic marking and collapsing under high loadings.
In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to provide a base fabric for a press felt that overcomes some of the shortcomings of spiraled fabrics at a lower start-up period than a laminated base fabric.
The present invention can overcome some of the shortcomings of prior press felts. As a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention are directed to a papermaker's press felt, comprising: a base fabric, comprising: a set of top machine direction (MD) yarns; a set of bottom MD yarns; and a set of cross machine direction (CMD) yarns interwoven with the top MD yarns and the bottom MD yarns. The top MD yarns, bottom MD yarns, and CMD yarns are interwoven in a series of repeat units in which each top MD yarn forms a long MD paper side float above certain consecutive ones of the set of CMD yarns. The press felt further comprises at least one batt layer attached to the base fabric. In this configuration, the long paper side floats of the base fabric can provide a desirable balance of properties.
As a second aspect, embodiments of the present invention are directed to a papermaker's press felt, comprising: a base fabric, comprising: a set of top machine direction (MD) yarns; a set of intermediate MD yarns; a set of bottom MD yarns; a set of upper cross machine direction (CMD) yarns interwoven with the top MD yarns and the intermediate MD yarns; and a set of lower CMD yarns interwoven with the intermediate MD yarns and the bottom MD yarns. The top MD yarns, intermediate MD yarns, bottom MD yarns, upper CMD yarns and lower CMD yarns are interwoven in a series of repeat units in which each top MD yarn forms a long MD paper side float above certain consecutive ones of the top CMD yarns. The press felt further comprises at least one batt layer attached to the base fabric. Again, this configuration can provide a desirable balance of properties to the base fabric.
The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter, in which embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, like numbers refer to like elements throughout. Thicknesses and dimensions of some components may be exaggerated for clarity.
As used herein, the terms "machine direction" (MD) and "cross machine direction" (CMD) refer, respectively, to a direction aligned with the direction of travel of the papermakers' fabric on a papermaking machine, and a direction parallel to the fabric surface and transverse to the direction of travel. Also, both the flat weaving and endless weaving methods described hereinabove are well known in this art, and the term "endless belt" as used herein refers to belts made by either method.
Referring now to the figures, a papermaking machine press section, designated broadly at 10, is illustrated in
In operation, a paper web P is conveyed from a forming section 16 through the nip N formed by the press rollers 15, 17, wherein pressure is applied to the paper web P by the press rolls 15, 17. The pressure forces moisture from the paper web P that is absorbed by the felt 14. As the felt 14 is conveyed around its roll set 12, moisture is removed from the felt 14 and conditioned by one or more suction boxes 20.
As can be seen in
Returning now to
The use of the base fabric 22 in the felt 14 can provide a desirable balance of properties. Felts with such base fabrics can exhibit sound sheet quality and consistent operability. The long paper side MD floats can provide uniform pressure support to the paper sheet, which can result in improved sheet quality and high drainage performance. On the machine side of the fabric, long MD floats can reduce the effect of "false air" during dewatering of the felt and paper sheets over suction rolls and suction boxes, which can in turn increase drainage and enhance conditioning of the felt. Because the long floats are bound to the base fabrics, they tend to resist collapse (unlike non-woven designs), and long MD floats on the paper side of the fabric provide relatively few knuckles that can cause marking of the paper sheet.
Other duplex fabrics having long MD floats may also be suitable for use with the present invention. For example,
A further embodiment of a duplex fabric that is suitable for use in press felts of the present invention is illustrated in
Variations of the duplex fabric of
In addition to the duplex fabrics illustrated in
It should be noted in
Another fabric embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in
The triplex fabric embodiments of
Another triplex fabric embodiment, designated broadly at 1300, is illustrated in
A further triplex fabric embodiment, designated broadly at 1600, is illustrated in
It should be noted that, for the fabric embodiments that are illustrated in and described with respect to
It can be seen that each of the fabric embodiments illustrated and described with respect to
Typically, the yarns employed in the base fabrics described above may be of any form (e.g., monofilament, multifilament, hybrid yarns, meltable monofilaments, and twists) known to be suitable for use in press felts, although monofilaments or twists are preferred. For the CMD yarns, 3- or 4-ply twisted monofilaments may be particularly suitable (especially 0.1 to 0.3 mm twisted monofilaments), as may monofilaments up to 1.0 mm, spun yarns, multifilaments, core-wrapped yarns or combinations thereof. MD yarns are typically twisted monofilaments, but monofilaments up to 1.0 mm, spun yarns, multifilaments, core-wrapped yarns and combinations may also be particularly suitable for use in the base fabrics of press felts of the invention.
The foregoing is illustrative of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting thereof. Although exemplary embodiments of this invention have been described, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as recited in the claims. The invention is defined by the following claims, with equivalents of the claims to be included therein.

I see a lot of so called "critics of critics" throw the debate of bias in reviews. It's stupid. In a review, it's your opinion. There's absolutely no way to be objective. You might give a brief description of the game, history, and story to give context behind your points, but all in all it's based on opinion.
There's a reason why people get so upset, people simply don't like others to think differently. Since of the beginning of time idiots have gotten mad over trivial things. In this gigantic, anonymous, computer age this problem is even more prevalent especially with Autists having access to the Internet. I've had countless times where I got blocked for simply stating my opinion. I didn't do it rudely. I just said what I though and left it open for debate.
People like echo champers, people like yes men, and people like their safe spaces. Far too many can't handle being disagreed with. It's either a matter of egotism or lack of empathy. I can understand getting mad in argument we all do, but we should still respect each other. No matter what age, no matter what color, and no matter what they think. Sociopaths who are unable to empathize have a problem where they just can't understand why people think differently. While the Egotist in extreme cases simply has an inferiority complex. They can't handle being wrong or the thought of it.
It's open to debate, and if their argument is completely illogical then simply don't talk to them. You don't have to get offended or cry. Just leave them alone. I've had so many comments I either didn't respond to or just deleted. Some people are just dumb. You can't change everyone. In fact, you can't change most of anyone especially of the seasoned variety. No amount of experience nor wisdom will change the fatuousness of some people. I'm not gonna yell or insult if they're being illogical. I'm just gonna go our separate ways. Or in this case not watch the video. We only have so much time in our lives. I don't like wasting it.
stupefying, I went a few paragraphs in and I already went on a tangent. Anyway reviewers! If you make your review objective it's gonna boring. If I've played the game or what have you, pertinent facts mean nothing. I played it, and I understand it. Even if I didn't, it's still incredibly boring. Don't call a review call it an overview. A review implies there will be a score, thoughts, etc. Objective reviews without Bias are boring and aren't even reviews to begin with.
I come to reviews for entertainment and knowledge. I want to know how a piece of media made someone feel. I want to extend my reach on opinions. Sure, I may not agree but it's culture. I'm learning more and strengthening my own arguments when hearing theirs. It let's us have an intellectual dialogue, and it's fun. It's not about what's being reviewed.
Bias occurs when oneself is completely influenced by their own thoughts. Something like the News shouldn't be biased (yet it is anyway). It's supposed to be a way to inform the people. The most informative way would be to give the facts and let people figure it out on their own. Everything in the News is through a lens, but it really shouldn't be. Big money should have no influence, and the speakers themselves should have no influence. The facts are what people look for, and since the News has always been so well regarded as a factual medium people don't question. I can understand having a News channel where it was clear it was opinion, but people regard these things as fact. They go for current events and to be informed not told what to think.
Reviews however, are completely biased. They are a telling of one's inner self. And they directly reflect the thoughts of the reviewer. That's part of what people don't understand. Bias is to be embraced in reviews. We learn from those other perspectives and are entertained by them. Bias is a word a lot of people associate with evil itself. So, when I say it should be embraced in reviews I will be ostracized. These people simply don't understand the fundamentals of what a review is, and others simply want to be in a safe space.

We ate there several times and also ordered meals to go. Everything we ate was good and the staff is very nice.
We stopped here while traveling because the restaurant looked good. We were definitely impressed! Our waitress was great, very conscientious.

Restaurant closes at 10:00pm so I was pleasantly surprised that we were ok to order just after 9:30. The place was empty as this was near closing time in midweek so atmosphere was not great. Ordered New York Strip steak $17 if I remember correctly....More

We had a wonderful time! Captain Richard took the time to explain some history of the island to us. We definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to explore the Folly River & Morris Island Lighthouse.
Everyone is so nice. Folks that took my reservation were happy and helpful. Charlie the guide was great. And, the equipment was in great shape. I will be back for more!
Captain Richard was entertaining and informative. I'd highly recommend it for late afternoon so you can see the sunset over the pirate shipwreck.
We booked a morning kayak tour. Our guide, Kate, had our boats ready and waiting at the dock. She geared us up with a paddle and life jacket and gave us a brief overview on kayak strokes and tips on how to control our kayaks....More
Went out w/ group of 8. Kept having to stop and wait b/c others were too slow. Nothing really exciting. Not worth $90. Would rather just rent a kayak from somewhere and gone wherever I wanted, tour guide didn't take us anywhere adventurous, just up...More
This was so much fun. The wildlife was extraordinary. We saw small sharks (unusual), turtles, egret, pelicans and lots of dolphin. Loved that we could take food & drinks. Captain Steve was great! He would stop and let us take videos. I felt very comfortable...More
My dad and I did the morning 2-hour kayak tour and had a great time. As novices to kayaking we had no problem catching on. It was a beautiful day and our guide Kate was patient and knowledgeable.
We booked our trip on what turned out to be a rainy Wednesday. Captain Richard asked if we would mind rescheduling because of safety concerns. The team in the office was great! Calling to reschedule for later in the afternoon. Just when we thought we...More
Excellent adventure. Kids loved it. Guide was well informed and engaging. We had two tandem kayaks and one single kayak. Easy launch and scenic tour around Folly River.
My daughter and I were on vacation and decide to take the Kayak Tour. This was my first time kayaking and we had a great time. Our guide Katie was fantastic!

Having gained a PhD in Biochemistry in 2001 from the University of Kent, Fiona joined Imperial College London as a postdoc working with Prof. Dan Davis studying the spatiotemporal localization of proteins at the human Natural Killer immune synapse to determine functional outcomes of NK cell surveillance. She then joined Dr. Richard Williams' lab at the Kennedy Institute in 2006 to study translational immunology exploiting experimental models of rheumatoid arthritis. Specifically, she was the first to identify novel immunoregulatory functions of TNFR2 expressing regulatory T cells in murine arthritis. In 2012, working with Prof. Sir Marc Feldmann, she was appointed to the role of team leader for the Novo Nordisk-KIR clinical research satellite, working on target validation and mechanism of action studies in rheumatoid arthritis. Since March 2015, she has been group leader for the Oxford Tissue Platform within the ULTRA-DD consortium (IMI funded research initiative) at the KIR in collaboration with the Structural Genomics Consortium, which aims to study epigenetic modifications in both Dupuytren's disease (with Prof. Jagdeep Nanchahal) and Spondyloarthritis patients (with Prof. Paul Bowness).
The objective of the Oxford Tissue Platform is to build robust assays from patients cells and tissue, retaining where possible the native characteristics and phenotype of intact pathology. Focussing specifically on two diverse musculoskelatal diseases, Ankylosing Spondlyitis (AS) and Dupuytren's Disease (local hand fibrosis), we study disease mechanisms for target identification through phenotypic screening of well-annotated libraries of small molecule inhibitors and function blocking antibodies.
Other interests include investigating the role of natural killer cells in AS (joint project with Nikki Horwood, KIR) and the immunoregulatory function of TNFR2 in RA (with Richard Williams, KIR).

(11:50 a.m. GMT) -- A record 1.9 million holidaymakers from the UK and Ireland took an ocean cruise in 2016 -- up by 100,000 on 2015.
The 5.5 percent increase outpaced all other European cruise markets and put the UK just behind Germany, which passed the two million mark for the first time, according to figures released by the Cruise Line Industry Association.
UK river passenger numbers also saw record figures last year with 166,900 passengers taking a river cruise -- an 11 percent increase on 2015.
The increase in passenger numbers comes as British ports released figures showing a record 1,214,000 passengers visited 55 UK ports in 2016 -- an increase of 19 per cent over 2015.
Overall, worldwide cruise figures surpassed the 25 million mark last year, driven by unprecedented growth from Asia and also the biggest ship order book ever recorded.
A total of 74 ships are being built over the next 10 years with a combined value of $51.76 billion, cruise line executive revealed at the annual Seatrade Cruise Global event in Fort Lauderdale yesterday.
Other U.K. highlights included:
- The Mediterranean continued to be the number one choice of destination for UK passengers, with 458,000 passengers in 2016.
- The number of passengers starting their cruise at home grew strongly in 2016 with UK cruise departures now accounting for 48 percent of the market, or 912,000 passengers -- a nine percent increase on 2015.
- Luxury cruise bookings were also on the up last year, with a near nine percent rise in bookings pushing the total above the 2012 peak of 28,450 to almost 29,000.
- Fly-cruises were up in 2016 with a 2.8 per cent increase on 2015.
- Average age of UK cruise passengers fell to 55, its lowest in six years.
- High levels of repeat passengers helped to drive the increases.
Andy Harmer, SVP Membership & Director, CLIA UK & Ireland said: "The past year was an impressive one for the UK and Ireland cruise industry. The increase in passenger figures is a testament to the industry's resilience to economic and political change and further demonstrates the value that a cruise holiday offers."
Commenting on the increase in UK river passenger numbers, Harmer added: "We have seen significant investment by companies in new, innovative ships with greater amenities on board and a wide variety of excursions included in the package. This coupled with an ever-increasing choice and diversity of itineraries in Europe and further afield, has led to more UK passengers opting for a river cruise holiday."
Angie Redhead, chair of Cruise Britain, said: "Day call figures have tripled in 10 years and 2016 has seen one of the biggest year-on-year increases."
