Stafford Associates, Dr. Eugene F. Stafford Building, is a Data Center and Office Building located on Long Island at 21 Bennetts Road in Setauket, New York. The facility incorporates many green features and anticipates a LEED Silver certification, LEED elements incorporated into the building include:

 

Preferred parking for hybrid vehicles & those carpooling – encourages use of these means of transportation which lowers greenhouse gas emissions

Rainwater collection for site irrigation – lowers the buildings demand for potable water

20% + of site left as open space – help maintain habitat for natural ecosystem

Cut off light fixtures – maintains dark sky

Waterless urinals, dual flush toilets & low flow fixtures – lowers buildings demand for potable water

Implementation of Construction Waste Management Plan – encourages the reuse & recycling of Construction waste & keeps useable material from the landfill

Use of SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) – tighter more efficient building envelope, lowers energy demand and associated pollution

Tighter building envelope and innovative building systems – approximate 30% less energy use and carbon footprint than typical building construction

Recycled content in building materials – reduces need for virgin materials and associated environmental costs

Local/regional content in building materials – supports local economy while reducing impact of transporting materials to the site

Low VOC materials – healthier indoor air for building occupants

CO2 monitoring – healthier indoor air for building occupants

 

The building itself is 30,000 sq. ft. and has many house like qualities to give clients, tenants and employees the sense that they are working with a family owned business. The building is adorned with rich earth tones throughout which can be found in the black marble steps with orange veins to the mahogany in the Stafford lobby, the deep brown accented carpets and natural wall coverings. Craftsmanship and high technology are infused throughout the building from the hand crafted railings in the center atriums to the Tier 3 Data Center that boasts concurrently maintainable site infrastructure guaranteeing 99.982% availability.

And other gods of stone. Jizo is literally "Earth Womb," and they are associated with a Buddhist Boddhistatva and protector of children, and prebuddhist stone border gods of fertility. Jizo was the god at the border of the vilage. In that sense a sort of gate. There are more than 75 Jizo behind Rurikoji Temple and many more dotted around the city. I will upload their locations to timtak.com

 

They remind me of Filipino Bulul. The comparison between Jizo and Bulul, and their application in tourism would be worthy of study. I think that they make good souvenirs, mascots and that people might like to do a Jizo and or Bulul tour. Their red hats are photogenic.

 

There is still a strong tradition of praying to Jizo. Some of these had prayer mats and incense still burning. I have seen primary school children greet the Jizo as they walk past. Many of them have offerings of food and drinks and low value coins.

Not all of these are Jizo. Some are other objects of worship such as Sarutahiko and Kannon.

 

According to the Japanese wikipedia page the benefits of praying to Jizo are many:

Heaven and the dragon will protect you.

Your good karma will increase day by day.

The seeds of enlightenment will be collected in you.

You will not retreat from enlightenment.

You will not lack for clothes or food.

You will not catch plague.

You will avoid flood and fire.

You will avoid being stolen from.

People will look at you with respect.

Gods and Demons will protect you.

Women will turn into men. [That is what it says]

You will become a well bred young lady.

You will become beautiful

You will likely be reborn in Heaven.

Or You will be reborn as an emperor in this world.

You will know your past lives.

People will accede to your requests.

Your servants will be happy.

Things that don't make any sense will disappear.

Your bad Karma will be taken away.

You will be able to travel to far places safely.

You will see good dreams when asleep.

Your ancestors will be freed from suffering.

You will be reborn well.

All the saints will adore you.

You will become clear thinking and sharp.

You will have lots of compassion.

You will become a Buddha for sure.

  

Adult content: While it is said that the hats are there due to a legend that an old couple were rewarded for clothing the Jizo who looked cold, there is another theory that it may also be because some of the stone, border gods are phallic and the hats may be hiding this. I have yet to find a Jizo with a cleft pate but I look.

Friends in need...

(they are RED associates)

they are exhausted, after Lucia comforted her Red associate; "Little Lai".

筱蒨在台大急診室打完點滴休息後,再回到群賢樓下繼續靜坐,體力不支的筱蒨安慰當時情緒已經崩潰的小賴後,沒多久兩個人都筋疲力盡地昏睡過去...

 

多數人都不明白為何到今天還要堅持罷免案,我把筱蒨的想法簡化一下,

罷免總統公投的「三不」和「三是」:

罷免公投不是取代司法審判,

罷免公投不是政黨鬥爭,

罷免公投不是公投綁大選的奧步。

罷免公投是檢驗貪腐總統道德和政治責任的最有效方法,

罷免公投是百萬紅衫軍所追求的公民權利,

罷免公投是態度,是非價值的判斷,禮義廉恥的實踐!

 

百萬紅衫軍在2007/2/15紅衫軍之家 拉下鐵門前,多數人早已解散。拉下鐵門後,留下鐵桿紅衫軍約數百人不願散去,群龍無主下這些人最後分裂成兩、三個次團體繼續堅持倒扁(次團體間路線不同,甚至有的次團體如林正杰紅衫軍自主公民協會是要反施明德的)。筱蒨從那時因緣際會從小志工 被推為仁義之獅 的版主(仁義之獅另一個版主是Alex),兩人帶領這些人摸索著,獨自奮鬥 過300多個日子。一路走到2008/1/12立委選舉後,滿心歡喜以為席捲3/4立委席次的國民黨立院黨團會立刻四次推動馬前主席堅持的罷免陳總統公投...

 

回顧2006年6月國民黨馬前主席的一段話:

「發動罷免不是政黨鬥爭,而是為了落實責任政治。從道德、法律和政策的標準檢驗陳水扁,罷免陳水扁的十大理由如下:…」

再等到2008/3/22總統大選後,即將由前主席成為總統的馬先生,已經忘記他當初所堅持落實責任政治中最重要的兩項標準,承諾給人民一個罷免公投機會,來檢驗陳水扁貪腐政權的道德和政治責任...

 

"要是檢驗貪腐總統方法只能靠最低的法律標準,2006/9/9至今堅持近600天紅衫運動最後淪為操作選舉總統的手段,台灣未來那有希望?又如何教育我們的子女?"

 

"當已用盡所有和平方法 ,而罷免機會即將逝去時",

她失望了...

這才是筱蒨採取最激烈的絕食靜坐的主要理由!

(根據最快程序,2008/4/8是立法院開議通過罷免總統公投最後可行的時間底限。)

 

2006年我拍反貪倒扁運動時,她還是一位在廣場邊熱心助人的 紅衫紀律服務員 志工 ...

 

Lucia's hunger sit-in still continue.

but media and politicians are rather to ignore her voice.

 

God bless her!

 

the first time i met her in 2006 when she was a enthusiastic volunteer of "REDs" movement.

 

a hunger sit-in to protest against Corruption and President Chan began by Lucia of Red on 2008/3/27 in front of Legislative Yuan.

 

KMT's ex-chairman Ma becomes to be President Ma soon, but

corrpution is there, President Chen is there,

and Lucia is there too,

nothing change to some of us...

 

on the day 72th, since 2008/1/25 the Reds initiated this non-stop sit-in, they move to Legislative Yuan to urge Ma Ying-jeou, Frank Hsieh and the new Legislators recalling of President Chen again...

 

after Kuomintang (KMT) Party swept the lawmakers (legislative) election , garnering over three-fourths of the seats on 2008/1/12.

 

on 2006/6/7, Kuomintang chairman Ma Ying-jeou called on the nation to recall President Chen for guilts of government corruption, diplomatic setbacks and scandals involving the first family and President Chen's top aides. It was failed by the barrier of votes is too high. A recall bill requires the support of two-thirds of the legislature. In 2006, KMT only held a slim parliamentary majority and ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) support Chen.

 

It's also the day 575th since REDs launched "anti-corruption and depose-Chen" movement on 2006/9/9...

 

在立法院群賢樓前靜坐第72天紅衫軍仁義之獅的筱蒨,3月27日起採取更激烈的連續絕食方式, 請求馬英九與國民黨主導的立法院立即將罷免陳總統公投交付人民進行...

 

一個卑微的請願: 「還我罷免權」,經過1月、2月寒風細雨,靜坐進入第72天(也是他們自九九凱道反貪倒扁運動連續靜坐的第575天)。紅衫軍隨著第七屆立委開議,移「獅」立法院群賢樓外繼續請願...

 

紅衫軍次團體「仁義之獅」自2008/1/25上午十點開始在國民黨中央黨部 前發起24小時 紅潮行動持續和平靜坐,要籲請國民黨於二月一日立法院開議後,立即推動罷免陳水扁。仁義之獅並號召全國認同反貪理念的民眾,一起共襄盛舉,共同促成罷免案。

 

時間:已於2008/4/8 結束靜坐。

地點:台北市濟南路,立法院群賢樓下。

"Reds", "Red shirts" or "Red shirt army" are the terminology for people who wear red shirts and hats to attend the "anti-corruption and depose-Chen" sit-in protest led by Shih Ming-te since Sept 9, 2006.

The Maya associated the colour red with death and rebirth, and often covered graves and skeletal remains with cinnabar.

Burial sites were oriented to provide access to the next world.

Graves faced north or west, in the directions of the Maya Heavens.

The concept of reincarnation is one strongly mentioned in Mayan belief and religion.

Mayan Representation of Reincarnation

The 'Popol Vuh' gives importance to the 'Maize God', and how the Mayan people themselves descended from 'maize people' created by this god.

In the 'Popol Vuh' that the K'iche' Maya wrote, (one of the few surviving codices), it tells the story of the reincarnation of the Maize God.

In the tale, the Maize God retreats to the underworld, and with the Two Hero Twins, battling the monsters and lords of the place, makes way back to the material world.

He is reborn again, dies, and on and on the cycle continues.

The Christopher Columbus Memorial, executed by sculptor Giuseppe Ciochetti, was dedicated in Washington Park on October 12, 1927. Funded by the Associated Italian Societies of Newark and the Giuseppe Verdi Society, the memorial features a bronze portrait of Christopher Columbus atop a tall square base adorned with four bronze relief plaques depicting the commissioning, embarkation, voyage, and landing of Columbus. Each corner of the base, between the reliefs, is adorned with a standing female figure representing discovery. The female figures stand with their faces directed toward the sky and their hands raised to their chests. The corners above each female figure are carved with fluted stone columns, above which a bronze garland encircles the base. Un March 1973, one of the base plaques fell off and was taken to the Bureau of Parks and Ground warehouse to await replacement by the Department of Public Works. Graffiti was cleaned from the base of the memorial in April 1985.

NON LA (Leaf Hats)

 

An image commonly associated with Vietnamese girls, the Non La, or leaf hat, first appeared in the 13th century (Quan dynasty) and has come to symbolize the spirit of the country. Creatively made from soft bamboo leaves, the hat usually consists of 16 to 18 rims. These rims are shaped into conical-form and hand-sewn together. Finally, the hat is trimmed and painted with a coat of attar old to keep it clean, smooth, and water-proof. The hat is kept on the head by a cloth (often silk) chin strap; an internal band of the same material keeps the hat itself from resting on the wearer's head.

 

Leaf hats are used primarily as protection from the sun and rain. They are also dipped in water and worn as an impromptu evaporative-cooling device.

HANOI

 

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam and the country's second largest city. Its population in 2009 was estimated at 2.6 million for urban districts, 6.5 million for the metropolitan jurisdiction.

 

From 1010 until 1802, it was the most important political centre of Vietnam. It was eclipsed by Huế during the Nguyen dynasty as the capital of Vietnam, but Hanoi served as the capital of French Indochina from 1902 to 1954. From 1954 to 1976, it was the capital of North Vietnam.

 

The city is located on the right bank of the Red River. Hanoi is located at 1,760 km (1,090 mi) north of Ho Chi Minh City.

 

October 2010 officially marked 1000 years since the establishment of the city.

U.P. Breaking News: K. I. Sawyer Latest KC-135 Emergency Landing/Raising Safety Concerns

The following exclusive information was not reported yet by Upper Peninsula TV stations and other media.

Many safety questions remain and a military plane is officially grounded after an emergency in the skies over Marquette County, Michigan on Tues. July 8, 2014

The emergency landing of a KC-135 refueling tanker is the latest in a series of similar hydraulic incidents involving the aging fleet of Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing, Upper Peninsula Breaking News has learned.

Veteran Investigative Reporter Greg Peterson has the story:

upperpeninsulabreakingnews.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/u-p-b...

youtu.be/tocLjvEslBA

  

-----

Essentially a flying gas station – this Air National Guard KC-135 is grounded – following an emergency that has happened at least 5 times in the past two years to KC 135 refueling tankers from the 128th Air Refueling Wing in Milwaukee.

That's right – at least 5 times in the past two years – a KC-135 from the 128th has developed hydraulic problems resulting in emergency landings at airports around the Midwest.

The tankers are all about 50 years old.

In fact in June 2013, a reporter for Milwaukee Television station WISN TV-12 investigated a rash of KC-135 emergency landings after hydraulic warning.

Upper Peninsula Breaking News called the 128th's public affairs office to verify this important safety problem.

With overcast skies, the three-member crew of this KC-135 declared a hydraulic emergency:

Chief Don Hutchens, Forsyth Township Volunteer Fire Department:

Emergency officials from across Marquette County responded to the plane's call for help – fearing it might crash while landing – which would have been catastrophic.

The KC -135 was among several planes from the 128th Refueling Wing that have been practicing touch and goes on K.I. Sawyer's long runways.

Now the Marquette County Airport, the once vibrant K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base was a Strategic Air Command base – constantly on alert - with bomber crews ready to fly in moments.

 

This reporter has had the pleasure of riding on two KC-135 Refueling Tankers – as show in this photo when I worked at WLUC TV-6 in Marquette.

We refueled F-16 Jets over Lake Huron.

Then this reporter became one of only a handful of civilians to ride aboard a B-52 Bomber – this while I did features stories for the Mining Journal newspaper.

I was given this official coin of the Sawyer bomber wing and a patch – after as 12-hour flight that included Fourth of July Parades and an airshow in Grand Rapids.

This reporter hopes the officials at Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing get to the bottom of this hydraulic issues before there is a tragedy – as the large number of emergencies on this flying gas station is scary to all involved.

Military plane makes emergency landing in Indiana

www.wisn.com/news/south-east-wisconsin/milwaukee/Military...

 

A plane from Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard is grounded and undergoing repairs after an in-flight emergency Tuesday.

For the fourth time in two months a KC-135 from Milwaukee makes an emergency landing, this time in Indiana.

The flight crew lost control of the hydraulic system and made an emergency landing in Indiana.

It's the fourth in-flight emergency in recent weeks involving four KC-135 refueling tankers.

Each of the planes is about 50 years old, which has some wondering if the aging aircraft are as safe as they should be.

1956

 

Luckily, the original business, Associated Glass, still occupies this great building, so the owner still has many of the original furnishings in the office, as well as this original rendering of the building.

 

The rendering and the structure as built do differ in significant ways -- here's a photo of the building as it looks now.

 

flickr.com/photos/25726169@N03/2911045032/

 

UPDATE 2010: This building and the adjoining warehouse sustained a pretty damaging fire about a year ago, and it is currently vacant.

Jamali was the "Nom de Plume" of Shaikh Fazlu'llah, also known as Jalal Khan, a saint and poet who lived from Sikandar Lodi's reign to that of Humayun. The mosque associated with his name lies about 300m south of Balban's tomb and was commenced around 1528-29 during Babur's reign and completed during that of Humayun.

 

His tomb, lying adjacent, was built also perhaps around 1528-29, before his death in 1535-36. Since there are two graves in the tomb, one believed to be that of Jamali, and the other that of Kamali, an unknown person, the monuments go under a 'double-barrelled' name.

 

The original gate to the mosque, still surviving, lies on the south. Its prayer-hall is pierced by five arches, inclining towards a four-centred form and ornamented with carved bands and medallions in the spandrels. The central arch, higher than the others, is more profusely decorated and flanked by fluted pilasters. The niches in the western wall are also decorated, the central and northern ones with Quranic inscriptions.

 

Two staircases at either end of the prayer-hall lead to a narrow gallery running right round the mosque on the second storey with three oriel windows at the rear, one on the south and a small window above the central arch. The rear corners are occupied by octagonal towers. Below the parapet in front are pendant lotus-buds. A single dome covers the central bay.

 

Architecturally this elegant mosque marks the transition from the Moth-Masjid to Sher Shah's mosque, with both of which it shares certain features.

 

The tomb of Jamali-Kamali lies immediately to the north of the mosque within an enclosure. Its small chamber is flat-roofed, and its ceiling and walls are highly ornamented with coloured tiles and patterns in incised and painted plaster, including inscribed verses composed by Jamali.

 

About Mehrauli Archaeological Park

 

The area of Mehrauli is probably the oldest continuously inhabited area of the city. As such it contains the architectural legacy of many centuries. Lal Kot, the first fortification of the city of Delhi, was established by the Tomar Rajputs in the Mehrauli area in AD 1060. The Chauhans extended this by adding the fortifications of Qila Rai Pithora, and after them the Il-Bari Turks continued to rule from this location. Though later capital cities were built at other sites, this area was not abandoned and many important buildings continued to be located here during successive dynasties - the Khaljis, Tughlaqs, Lodis, Mughals, and the British.

 

Over 300 listed buildings of archaeological, architectural and historical significance dot the Mehrauli area with over 100 of these standing in the green belt south of the Qutub World Heritage Site and many more are still to be uncovered. The Delhi Chapter advocated the conservation of this area as a whole for several years. It measures about 100 acres and the Master Plan of Delhi, 2021, now refers to it as the Mehrauli Archaeological Park. It has buildings from practically each period of Delhi’s history. Some of them are well known such as the historic mosque of Jamali Kamali and the step-well known as Rajon Ki Baoli, both protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. Others remain unprotected and have received attention only recently.

 

The Mehrauli Archaeological Park could compare with any archaeological site worldwide for its rich concentration of a diverse range of architectural heritage in a landscaped setting. It is in close proximity to the Qutub Minar complex, and has the potential to draw thousands of visitors daily. Besides being a major heritage attraction, the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, afforested in the 1970’s, is also a significant ecological resource for south Delhi. The park boasts of a number of animal and floral species; Nilgai, Fox, Peacocks, and several species of birds can be spotted here.
