Skittles lost her battle with congestive heart failure and cancer. She passed peacefully in her mom’s arms. She was about 13, and they had her for almost 5 years. She came from the Manhattan ACC as an owner-surrender. She was loved every moment they had her. She will be missed terribly by her canine sister Annie, feline sister Jordan and her entire family.

As congested as this street appears, it's better than the freeway. Better yet, a little further down this street and I get a nice view of the Griffith observatory.

Slightly less congestion here but very congested later down the lane

Nairobi's infamous and dreaded traffic. Nairobi is the world's fourth-most congested city, far worse than any in the U.S., according to a 2011 survey. Kenya's government estimates traffic jams cost Nairobi $600,000 per day in lost productivity and wasted fuel. That's $219 million per year. The source of the gridlock: Infrastructure made obsolete by a population of nearly 3 million that's keen on cars in a city with roads developed for a capacity of just 350,000 inhabitants. Like many African cities, it can't build roads as fast as its residents can buy cars. Four-hundred new vehicles hit the streets here each day.

The People Work—Evening - 1937

From the series "The People Work"

Benton Murdoch Spruance (1904 - 1967)

The People Work—Evening is Benton Murdoch Spruance's compact view of a weekday evening rush hour. The sidewalks and streets are congested with traffic, and people cram into crowded subways. The composition combines two separate aspects of the daily mass migration of workers heading home into a single image: the above-ground scene of streets and vehicles and the subterranean world of the subway.

Evening is the third in a series of four lithographs in which Spruance depicted the daily cycle of urban dwellers moving amidst crowds of strangers at different times of day. The series provides a glimpse of the routines revolving around work that filled the lives of ordinary American city-dwellers during the 1930s as they struggled against the economic hardships of the Great Depression.

This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.

This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.

Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

Diagnosed with congestive heart failure ,inmate patient Frederick Gusta was slated for "compassionate release," an early release for patients determined to have less six months left to live. The release, granted to only a small percentage of applicants, sets him free two years early from his sentence of nine years and four months for kidnapping, terrorist threats and vehicle theft.

Gusta was released the day after this picture was taken, on his 46th birthday.

We lost Luna on March 28 to congestive heart failure. She passed peacefully at home (which was a blessing), she did not suffer. She had been on 3 different medications for about 4 months and we can tell she was having some breathing problems, but never showed any signs of too much distress or pain. We of course knew it was coming, but never thought it would be that day (do we ever?), so although it wasn't shocking, it was a little surprising. Glad we didn't have to make the decision. My husband, Bill and I are so sad and have had a rough few weeks (my husband is having a really hard time as her found her), but of course, Zak has been keeping us busy and getting lots of extra attention.

The portmanteau word I have affected for the title of this picture is a bitter reflection upon the leisurely way in which roadworks are conducted in even the busiest locations. This sign was on Queen Victoria Street on the approach to Cannon Street in London.

An elaborately worded sign further along posted by gas network operator Cadent explains the replacement of 100+ year old gas mains but nine months? Really?

The entrance into Baker Street station

Baker Street: The World's First Underground

..the origins of the world’s first Underground network.

Opened on 10 January 1863 as part of the Metropolitan Railway, Baker Street was home to the launch of a revolutionary idea – carrying passengers beneath Victorian London’s congested streets. Cutting a 90-minute journey to just 20 minutes, the ‘Met’ revolutionised travel in the city and provided the foundation for Metro systems across the world.

Explore closed-off parts of the station including original platforms, disused lift shafts and corridors that are hidden in plain sight - some of which were last accessed by the public over 75 years ago in 1945. Learn about the station’s history as the Operational Headquarters for London Underground, and hear first-hand accounts from those who worked (and played) there over the years.

This tour will take you on a historical journey through the 160 years of the station, starting with the early days of Victorian underground steam travel and ending in the busy station of 10 platforms and five Underground lines that it is today.

Along the way, you’ll hear what the very first passengers thought of underground travel in 1863, how the Underground grew and expanded over the next 16 decades, and how Baker Street served not only passengers, but also London Underground staff..

HISTORY: In 1854 an Act of Parliament was passed enabling the Metropolitan Railway to construct an underground railway between Paddington and the City, as part of an envisaged 'Inner Circle' linking the mainline stations, to be completed in conjunction with the MR's collaborator, later arch-rival: the Metropolitan District Railway (MDR), inaugurated in 1864. This - the world's first underground railway - was constructed 1860-3 under the supervision of (Sir) John Fowler, the MR's Engineer in Chief, from Paddington, Bishop's Road (now Paddington), and Farringdon Street (Farringdon), with intermediate stations at Edgware Road, Baker Street, Portland Road (Great Portland Street), Gower Street (Euston Square) and King's Cross. The railway was constructed on the 'cut-and-cover' system whereby a trench is excavated and roofed over, a method employed until the 1890s when it was superseded by the deep tube system for electrified trains. Both broad and standard-gauge track were laid.

The original MR station surface buildings were relatively modest, single-storey Italianate buildings in brick and stucco and none survives other than as fragmentary remains. Of the seven, Paddington, Edgware Road, Kings Cross and Farringdon had platforms in open cuttings flanked by brick retaining walls covered by conventional iron-and-glass roofs, while Gower Street, Great Portland Street and Baker Street had sub-surface platforms covered by a brick barrel vault, lit by globe gaslights; these latter stations were thus the first true 'underground' stations. At Baker Street and Gower Street, which were virtually identical, lighting was supplemented by a series of deep lunettes pierced through the vault, lined with white glazed tiles, each of which had a thick glass cover at surface level with ventilation apertures, enclosed by railings. No more of these sub-surface platforms were built due to the noxious atmosphere from steam and gases.

Baker Street station opened on 10 January 1863, comprising a pair of one-storey buildings on the north and south corners of Marylebone Road and Baker Street, each containing a booking office and stairs down to the west end of the platforms. In 1868, two surface-level platforms opened on the north side to serve an extension to Swiss Cottage, later extended to four, with a link to the existing line. From here the line - known as the 'Metropolitan Extension' - was incrementally extended north-westwards into Middlesex, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, reaching Aylesbury and Verney Junction in 1892, some 50 miles from central London. Branch lines were opened from Harrow to Uxbridge (1904), Moor Park to Watford (1925) and finally Wembley Park to Stanmore (1932). The MR absorbed the Hammersmith & City Railway in 1867, and opened a new branch from Edgware Road to South Kensington in 1868. The MR also operated trains on the London and South Western Railway line to Richmond by 1877. The original line was extended to Moorgate in 1865; Bishopsgate (Liverpool Street) in 1875 and Aldgate in 1876. Meanwhile, the remainder of the Inner Circle was constructed by the MDR, from South Kensington (1868) to Tower Hill (1884). The Baker Street & Waterloo Railway (later the Bakerloo Line) opened its station at Baker Street on 10 March 1906.which stood to the northwest of the MR station, interlinked to it by a subway. It was demolished in the 1960s.

The MR deliberately cultivated the image of a mainline company (which in effect it was). The line was electrified by 1907, and in 1911 the MR embarked on a comprehensive rebuilding programme in which Baker Street was to be its new company headquarters and flagship station. This was prompted not only by increasing congestion, but also the drive to exploit suburban expansion to the northwest. Here, the MR enjoyed a uniquely privileged position whereby it was legally enabled to retain surplus land it had acquired for railway development in the late C19. Thus was born 'Metro-land', the term coined by the MR's publicity department in 1915 and used henceforth in MR marketing, and which rapidly entered common parlance as an idealised evocation of northwest London commuterland. Baker Street Station was the 'Gateway to Metro-land'.

The new station was designed by Charles Walter Clark (1885-1972), appointed Chief Architectural Assistant to the Engineer of the MR in 1910 and Architect in 1921. It was intended to form part of the ground floor of a large five-storey, 15-bay hotel carried on a tall rusticated-arcaded ground floor, approached by a long ramp. The station comprised a grand booking hall and concourse at basement level with a ladies' room, buffet, lost property office and WH Smith bookstall among the facilities, providing a modern service comparable to that of a main-line station. To the east were offices, a parcels office and a goods entrance. The MR Extension platforms were remodelled, and to the northeast in Allsop Place an imposing new MR headquarters was built to Clark's design. Building ceased on the outbreak of WWI, and the hotel proposal was superseded by a scheme for mansion flats, named Chiltern Court, designed by Clark in 1927 and completed in 1929.

The MR remained fiercely independent until 1932, having resisted absorption into 'the Combine' which dominated underground railway construction in London until the 1930s. In 1933 the Combine, the MR and all bus and tram networks, were merged into the London Passenger Transport Board, an unsubsidised public corporation, and the MR network became the Metropolitan Line. In 1939, Bakerloo trains took over the ML service to Stanmore. Another entrance was formed further to the west in Chiltern House c1939, linked to the ML booking hall by a corridor. In 1979 the new Jubilee Line took over the Baker Street to Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo line and added an extra northbound platform. In 1990 the section of the ML from Baker Street to Hammersmith became part of the newly-created (or recreated) Hammersmith & City Line.
