I have just seen the most extraordinary thing
Call me naive
For a white middle class
middle aged man
like me
a
law abiding citizen
a payer
£90 a month of council tax
to maintain my borough
and its police
A young black guy
out with his friend
being ordered
by an officer
to drop his pants
in a London street
A stop and search in Grange Road,
Southwark,
1604
check the sheet
as I walk home
from the pub
The lads look like children
15 as written
and local to the area
polite and smart
and told me they were out
bored
after an Easter Sunday
at home
with mum
They are from Sierra Leone
Here in our town
my free town
some three years
on
The police
they say
came by
in a van
Pulled over
got out
Pockets were searched
PNC is checked
nothing known
Under pants inspected
(Times one)
Nothing found
And why
because terrorism trumps
Magna Carta?
Not so as
the docket says
This is a high crime area
My arse
Mr Swift
PC
If so
stop me
We have words for these kids
roundabouts
here
we call them
citizens
and sons
And the superintendent
in whose name it is done
at home
having Sunday roast
no doubt
Great job
my uniformed friends
Two more young black men
marginalised
and lost
And the funniest part
on a day
when
some remember
another wrongly accused
and hung
close to Gethsemane
You get a form 5090 (X)
when you are abused
and humiliated
like this
One lad puts it back
on the railings
and was told
allegedly
(I’m pleased to acknowledge the police have rights too)
he’d be arrested for littering
if he didn’t
pick it up
So the cop screwed it up
and throw it
into his van
This much
I saw
and I accuse
By Christ
I do

37/365
Believe it or not, we actually ventured out for a concert... on a Monday night! What could get us to slog all the way into Philly for some nachos at Jones and some music at Unicorn Transfer? Why, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, of course!
We're not actually huge fans of the band. In fact, we went many years where we both sort of fell into refusing them based on the stupidity of their band name and the bigger stupidity of their album titles. (Judging a book by its cover is always a great idea, kids. ::shifty eyes::) A chance discovery of one of their records at Princeton Record Exchange reignited the Godspeed fire at Maple Hoo, and then lo and behold, they were in town. So off we went, dragging our feet the whole way there.
Thanks heavens we did go, because the show was amazing! The tone was set early on, as the pre-show music piped through the venue was some absolutely gorgeous piano/string stuff. Normally, the pre-show music serves to make everyone especially antsy to hear good stuff. In this case, everyone sitting near us was furiously conferring over their music-ID apps trying to identify the musician. There was some talk that if that music just kept on all night, it would have been worth the trip.
Of course, if that music continued, we wouldn't have heard the opener, Xylouris White. They're a lute/drum duo, whose album is one of our favorites of this year. It's a gentle, beautiful, intellectual album, and we were both looking forward to letting some soft lute music set the table for the more intense Godspeed. As they were taking the stage, Schnookie said, "This looks like it would be the kind of concert your parents turn on during a PBS pledge drive. I'm going to be really impressed with them if I have to dig out my earplugs for this." The instant they started playing, we were both diving for the earplugs. Gentle and intellectual were not on the docket last night. It was still beautiful, of course, but so, so, so much more intense. I love seeing openers I'd never have known about if not for attending the show, but in this case, we both agreed we were really glad we'd heard the album first. It would be really disappointing to hear it expecting the white-hot intensity and freejazz lute-and-drum freakouts of their live show. A few years ago, we went to a John Zorn sax/bass/Dave Lombardo trio which a reviewer said was "like being strapped to the bottom of a speeding train". I never thought it possible, but listening to two middle-aged dudes with a small drum kit and a freakin' lute was more like being strapped to the bottom of a speeding train than anything else we've seen, including that Zorn trio.
It set the bar really high for Godspeed, but they delivered. Since we had run 15 miles the day before, and are looking at running 17 this coming weekend, we decided to snag two of the limited seats in the back of the balcony. I'm so glad we did, because it meant it was much easier to ignore the black-and-white "arty" film projections which I think actively worked against the music. It was funny to watch as the show went along how many more people chose to sit down and block their eyes. The music was so phenomenal, it was almost easier for me to close my eyes and imagine it just being conjured up out of the ether, than see that it was being manufactured by mere humans on electric guitars and violins. I ran into an old, curmudgeonly friend of ours before the show; when I said I'd never seen them live before he said, "I don't like to use this word, and I never use it lightly -- they're live shows are epic." He was so right. We've seen a lot of amazing shows, and seen a lot of bands I hold way more dear than Godspeed, but that show was really, truly EPIC.

When I first plunged into the idea of home preserving lo those four weeks ago, I spent a few evenings poring over the Ball Complete Book of Canning (or whatever it's called). I have long thought that canning wasn't really the thing for me because we really don't eat any jam, jelly, preserves, pickles, or whatever. But flipping through all those recipes of multi-seasonal bounty, I suddenly saw a future of being the kind of person who actually does eat those sorts of things. So many of the recipes sounded so fun and fresh and newer, better life! The one that really grabbed me right off the bat, for reasons I can't even begin to comprehend, was pickled pears. And now I can say I've made them. It was a two-day process, so I feel all bad-ass and pear-pickly. And from what I could tell of the pears I sampled along the way, this is actually pretty delish. So... we'll see if we can become the kinds of people who eat pickled pears or not.

A view taken shortly before the opening of the Waitomo fuel pumps at the Tasman Fish & Cafe on SH1 in Foxton around mid afternoon on Friday, July 10th, almost seven years on since the closure of the Foxton BP pumps at this site on July 18th, 2008.
With the new Foxton fuel stop offering a price of $1.89.9 a litre for 91 octane, about 2 hours after opening, Foxton Mobil just up the road on SH1 and which has had the monopoly in Foxton since the closure of the BP pumps, dropped their price from $2.04.9 to $1.93.9 a litre of 91 octane, so guess that speaks volumes what has been going on.
The new Foxton Waitomo fuel outlet is a 24/7 self-serve 'Pay 'N Pump' operation with the slogan, “Kiwis fueling Kiwis.” A further four pumps are still yet to be installed and grand opening is planned for Friday, July 17th.
PETROL PUMPS OFF AS FOXTON BP WINDS UP
22/07/2008
Foxton shoppers who cherish their discount fuel vouchers will now have to travel at least 20km to cash them in.
On Friday [18 July 2008] the local BP petrol station officially switched off its pumps in preparation for shutting-up shop for good.
The closure is a blow to residents who buy their groceries at the local New World, which offers a discount at BP on its dockets.
Local New World owner-operator George Samson had not been warned the BP was closing, and said he was "shocked" by the news, and disappointed for his customers.
The discount vouchers were important to a lot of people, but now they would be worthless because people would have to travel to Levin or Palmerston North to use them, he said.
"Now my customers are going to say they're a waste of time, because I have to spend money to try and save money."
But he did not expect there to be any long-term effects on his business.
Jean and Stuart Marshall have owned the BP for 20 years and had about 10 employees, who were a mix of full and part-time.
While the pumps were off, the shop was remaining open until remaining stock was cleared, Mrs Marshall said yesterday.
She would not say why they had decided to close.
"I'd prefer not to make any comments."
Soaring fuel costs had made life hard though, she said.
"Petrol pricing is an issue that affects everybody, and margins are almost non-existent for independent operators. It makes it very difficult."
An armed robbery in May had played a role in the decision, but was not the deciding factor, she said.
"We've had several [robberies], and it's all part of the mix."
It was sad having to shut the doors. "Twenty-years of our life here, and we basically built it from a little garage."
They were yet to decide what they would do with the land, and she would not say what would happen to any remaining fuel or the tanks.
BP New Zealand spokeswoman Diana Stretch said they were in negotiations with the Marshalls about the issue.
Mobil Foxton owner Bob Wilkinson said tiny margins and a growing number of drive-offs meant it was a hard business to be now.
They had been marginally busier since the closure, but he was sad to see the competition closing.
"I'd rather see both of us thriving, but in the present climate it's very difficult to do that." - Manawatu Standard

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.

Financial District, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States
The small, elegant cast-iron-fronted mansarded building at 90-94 Maiden Lane is the only remaining example in the Financial District of the many Second Empire style commercial buildings constructed in downtown Manhattan during the post-Civil War era. the southernmost cast-iron building in Manhattan, it is one of the rare survivors of this type between Fulton Street and the Battery.
Long associated with the Roosevelt family (which had a store at 94 Maiden Lane by 1786), the present building incorporates a mercantile building erected for James Roosevelt around 1810. In 1870-71 Roosevelt & Son, then the nation's leading importer of plate glass and mirrors, expanded from 90-94 Maiden Lane into the adjoining buildings at 90-92 Maiden Lane and 9-11 Cedar Street; a new cast-iron facade with mansard roof was erected on the Maiden lane buildings, as well as a new brick and iron facade on Cedar Street.
These alterations are attributed to Charles Wright, a mid-19th century architect known for his cast-iron buildings, who was associated with the prominent iron founders Michael Grosz & Son. The building's iron elements were cast by the Architectural Ironworks of New York, one of the leading iron foundries in the country, whose head Daniel D. Badger was a major force in the development and promotion of architectural cast iron.
The Roosevelt Family and 90-94 Maiden Lane
In the 18th century, Maiden Lane, set in a small valley which formed a natural connection between Broadway and the waterfront, was lined with the houses and stores of prosperous merchants. Following the Revolutionary War John Roosevelt established a business at 94 Maiden Lane, leasing the property for at least a year before purchasing it from Pierre Van Cortlandt in 1786.
John's brother Nicholas became a partner in the firm in 1787, but the brothers were soon in financial difficulties. In 1792, John Roosevelt was forced to sell his store and house to his second cousin Isaac Roosevelt.
The wealthiest of the 18th-century Roosevelts, Isaac immediately turned the store over to John and Nicholas's brother James J. Roosevelt. James opened a hardware business on the site which evolved into the family firm of Roosevelt & Son. His business quickly became a large-scale operation supplying imported hardware, mostly Dutch, to a burgeoning building trade.
By 1797 James was able to purchase 94 Maiden Lane from the heirs of Isaac Roosevelt and in 1809-10 he replaced the building on the site with a new store. To accommodate the widening of Maiden Lane in 1822-23, a portion of the store building was taken down and a new Greek Revival style facade was erected .
The 18th-century dwelling and stable erected by Abraham Duryea on the adjacent lot at 90-92 Maiden Lane were replaced by a brick and granite commercial building in 1827-28 which was later sold to James and John F. Trippe, dealers in medicines, paints, and oils.
The Trippes held the property until 1862 when it was repossessed by members of the Duryea family, who then leased the building to a plate-glass merchant.
Two buildings at 9 and 11 Cedar Street, immediately behind 90-92 and 94 Maiden Lane, were erected soon after the street was opened in 1828. Part of a group of eight buildings on Pearl and Cedar Streets erected for Otis Loomer as a speculative investment, they were leased to a variety of merchants over the years.
Throughout the early 19th century James Roosevelt's business continued to prosper, dealing in imported hardware and introducing a line of imported window glass and mirrors. Eventually, under the direction of James's son, Cornelius Van Schaack Roosevelt, who had joined the firm in 1819, it became the country's leading importer of British and French plate glass, crystal plate glass, and mirrors.
The considerable profits produced by the firm allowed C.V.S. Roosevelt to invest heavily in real estate following the Panic of 1837. Between 1842 and 1845 C.V.S. Roosevelt doubled his already comfortable fortune and by 1868 he could count himself among the Astors, Rhinelanders and Lorillartis as one of New York's ten wealthiest landowners.
Two of his sons, James Alfred and Theodore (father of the future president), joined the firm in the 1850s, and two others, Silas Weir and Robert Barnwell, became attorneys, establishing offices at 94 Maiden lane. Conditions at 94 Maiden lane had become sufficiently cramped to warrant leasing space at 7 and 9 Cedar Street, which by 1857 were connected to 94 Maiden Lane by narrow passages.
A decision was made to expand again in 1869 and James A. Roosevelt purchased 90-92 Maiden lane and 9 and 11 Cedar Streets.
In April 1870 plans were filed to join the buildings, alter them internally, and erect a new iron front with mansard roof on Maiden lane and a new brick facade with an iron storefront on Cedar Street.
Designed in the then fashionable Second Empire style, the Maiden lane facade featured corner pavilions framed by rusticated piers, arched window surrounds set off by half-columns and a roof covered with fishscale slates pierced by segmental pedimented dormers.
The Department of Building's Alterations Docket for 1870 lists Michael Grosz & Son, an iron foundry, as responsible for these alterations, but they are attributed to Charles Wright, an architect who was associated with the firm.
Charles Wright
A Long Island resident, Charles Wright was listed as an architect in the New York City directories between 1867 and 1878. In every year except 1873, his office address was given as 45 Greene Street, the location of the Grosz foundry; the termination of his practice in New York coincided with the closing of the foundry following the deaths of Michael and Frederick Grosz in 1878.
Wright's work in Manhattan included a number of tenements on the Lower East Side, stables in Greenwich Village (8 MacDougal Alley of 1871 and 134-36 West 10th Street of 1874), rowhouses in Mid town, and mercantile buildings in the old dry goods districts now known as Tribeca, SoHo, and Ladies' Mile.
His commercial works included a number of cast-iron buildings, among them 913 Broadway (1872, altered) for Peter Goelet, 13 East 19th Street (1874, demolished) for Robert Goelet, 34 Greene Street (1873) for Julius Leopold, and the Grosvenor Building, 385 Broadway (1875) for Matilda Grosvenor and Charlotte Goodridge.
The surviving buildings are all handsome Second Empire structures which like 90-94 Maiden lane feature flattened segmental arches supported by engaged columns. In several the treatment of ornament is also similar to that of 90-94 Maiden lane. No. 34 Greene Street, for example, also employs diamond-point rustication, spandrel panels decorated with paterae, unfluted columns, and paneled piers decorated with a pattern similar to that used on the frieze beneath the mansard at 90-94 Maiden lane.
In addition to this stylistic evidence, which strengthens the attribution of 90-94 Maiden Lane to Wright, it should be noted that he is known to have worked for the Roosevelts on at least two occasions: first in 1869 when he designed a one-story addition to the C.V.S. Roosevelt house at Broadway and 14 th Street and again in 1873 when he planned an alteration at 90-94 Maiden Lane that replaced wood supports in the mansard with iron girders. Michael Grosz & Son was listed as the builder for that alteration.
Michael Grosz & Son
Michael Grosz was first listed in the New York City directories in 1837 as a smith with a business at 8 Watts Street. By 1840 he had moved his business and residence to 45 Greene Street. Through the 1840s and early ' 50s he continued to be listed in the directories as a blacksmith or whitesmith. He began manufacturing iron railings, vault lights, and rolling shutters at some point in the 1850s and was listed as a dealer in iron railings in the directory of 1856.
His son, Frederick H. Grosz, established his own foundry at 45 Greene in 1856 and began manufacturing railings and vault lights. Father and son were listed separately in the directories until 1865 when they formed Michael Grosz & Son.
By that time Michael had begun manufacturing architectural ironwork and had conducted an extensive business with the government during the Civil War years. In the post-war period, under the direction of Michael Grosz and Frederick Grosz, who began taking over increasing responsibility from his father, the "firm built many of the iron buildings erected by the Goelets, Roosevelts and Astors."
According to Frederick Grosz's obituary in the New York Tribune their projects included Steinway Hall at 109 East 14th Street (1866, demolished) and the "Broadway store of Lord & Taylor" (presumably the cast-iron fronted building at Broadway and 20th Street designed by James H. Giles in 1869). The firm also specialized in the manufacture of bank vaults, including those of the Union Trust Company, the Bank of North America, and Chemical Bank.
In the 1870s Michael Grosz & Son also occasionally supplied architectural designs to clients. In addition to the alterations at 90-94 Maiden lane the firm is listed in the Building Department docket books as architect for a pair of iron warehouses at Thomas and Hudson Streets (1870-71, demolished), a four-story tenement at 64 Frankfort Street (1872, demolished), and a building for the Orthopaedic Dispensary and Hospital at 126 East 59th Street (1872-73, demolished).
Presumably these commissions were awarded to the firm because it maintained an architectural staff, who in addition to designing architectural elements such as columns and cornices for the foundry's stock, would also have been available to plan entire facades or buildings for clients who did not want to go to the expense of hiring their own architect.
Such an arrangement is known to have existed at the Architectural Ironworks, where the English architect George H. Johnson and Horace Badger were employed as designers.
As Charles Wright was the only architect listed in business directories of the period as working at 45 Greene Street, it can be deduced that he served in a similar capacity at Michael Grosz & Son and that some sort of agreement had been worked out that also allowed him to have private clients—hence the listings in his name in the Building Department records.
The Architectural Ironworks of New York
In addition to their business arrangements with Charles Wright, the Groszes apparently established a connection with Daniel Badger's Architectural Ironworks of New York, a leading innovator in the field of cast iron. Badger was a former blacksmith from Woburn, Massachusetts, who erected a cast-iron storefront in Boston in 1842, which he claimed was the first structure of iron ever seen in America. In 1843, he bought a patent from A.L. Johnson for rolling iron shutters, used to make windows burglar-proof.
The combination of iron storefront and shutters which came to be known as "Badger fronts" was highly successful. In 1846, Badger opened his business in New York, where his first major commission was for the storefronts of the A.T. Stewart Store at Broadway and Chambers Street.
It was not until the 1850s that Badger began to fabricate full cast-iron fronts.
His foundry was incorporated as the Architectural Ironworks in 1856. In 1865 he published a catalogue of the foundry's works, which listed hundreds of storefronts and over thirty full cast-iron fronts. These were shipped all over the United States and to several foreign countries.
Three extant buildings, 48-50 Walker Street (illustrated as plate XV, no. 7 in the catalogue), 93 Reade Street of 1857 (an almost exact copy of a building on Broadway illustrated as plate XV, no. 8), and 74 Reade Street (listed on page 32), have vault lights marked with the F.H. Grosz foundry plate suggesting that a long-standing relationship existed between the firms.
The Architectural Ironworks was also involved with 90-94 Maiden Lane, since its foundry plate is displayed on a rusticated pier on the Maiden Lane facade; however the exact nature of its role in relation to the Grosz foundry is unknown.
It seems possible that the Grosz firm may have elected to fabricate part of the ironwork for the building but sub-contracted part of the work (perhaps the larger pieces which would have been difficult to cast in the limited confines of 45 Greene Street) to the Architectural Ironworks which had extensive facilities at its 14th Street factory.
Alternatively Michael Grosz & Son may have acted primarily as designers, perhaps supplying wooden patterns from which the castings were made and overseeing construction, but leaving the actual casting up to the Architectural Ironworks.
Nos. 90-94 Maiden Lane, then, is an important late work of the Architectural Ironworks, a firm which must be regarded as one of the leading forces in the development and manufacture of architectural cast iron in this country during the 19th century.
Cast-iron Architecture and the Second Empire Style in lower Manhattan
Although never as numerous as in the mercantile districts now known as Tribeca and SoHo, at least thirty-eight cast-iron-fronted buildings were located in the downtown area of Manhattan from Fulton Street to the Battery by the mid-1880s.
The majority of these were located on Broadway, Fulton Street, and in the area around Wall and Pearl Streets. On Maiden Lane near Broadway, where the jewelry trade was concentrated, there were iron-fronted buildings at 5-7, 9-11, and 25 Maiden Lane. Further down the street, almost opposite 90-94 Maiden Lane, a cast-iron building had been erected by 1868 for Charles Pfizer & Company, manufacturers of chemicals and drugs.
Around the corner at William and Cedar Streets, Griffith Thomas's cast-iron-fronted Kemp Building was erected in 1870-71. Also in the surrounding area were the New York Real Estate Exchange at 59-65 Liberty Street, the Union Building at William and Pine Streets, and the Seaman's Bank Building at Pearl and Wall Streets, all with cast-iron fronts. Many of these buildings were erected in the post-Civil War era as earlier Greek Revival style counting houses in downtown Manhattan were replaced with more specialized structures.
The post-war buildings, whether cast-iron or masonry, usually incorporated elevators and employed the most up-to-date building techniques which made possible the construction of taller buildings than previously possible.
The majority were designed in the then fashionable Second Empire style, characterized by its use of French Renaissance style ornament and mansard roofs. The most notable of these new buildings was Arthur Gilman and Edward Kendall's masonry Equitable Building at Broadway and Cedar Streets (1868-72), which many scholars regard as the first skyscraper. Other masonry Second Empire style buildings included Griffith Thomas's Continental Life
Insurance Building of 1862-63 at 100-102 Broadway and National Park Bank of 1866-68 at 214-16 Broadway, Alfred B. Mullett's Courthouse and Post Office of 1869-80 at city Hall Park, and Henry Fembach's Staats-Zeitung Building of 1870-73 on Tryon Row.
Like 90-94 Maiden Lane, a number of other buildings were modernized during this period, including the Mutual Life Insurance Building at Nassau and Cedar Streets and the Bank of New York at Wall and William Streets, both of which had mansards added during the 1870s.
Today none of the above-mentioned buildings except 90-94 Maiden lane survive and only seven cast-iron fronted buildings remain standing in lower Manhattan between Fulton Street and the Battery.
These include: 63 Nassau Street, an 1830s building given a new cast-iron front around 1860, apparently by the cast-iron pioneer James Bogardus; the Italianate style Germania Building of 1865 at 151 Broadway; 90-94 Maiden Lane, remodeled in 1870-71; Arthur Gilman's Bennett Building at Nassau and Fulton Streets of 1872-73; 114-116 Fulton Street of c. 1880-85; James Farnsworth's 102-104 Fulton Street of 1895-96; and Francis Kimball's remodeling of 20 John Street of 1909, the latter two combining cast iron and pressed metal elements.
Of these, 90-94 Maiden Lane is the southernmost cast-iron-fronted building in Manhattan and due to the fact that the Bennett Building lost its original mansard when it was raised from six to ten stories in 1888, it is the only remaining mansarded Second Empire style business building in the Financial District.
Thus 90-94 Maiden lane is not only an elegant building but also a rare survivor of a once prolific type which flourished in the Financial District in the post-Civil War era.
Description
Four early 19th-century buildings were joined to form the present building at 90-94 Maiden lane, a four-story structure on a slightly irregular through-the-block lot which has a frontage of fifty-nine feet on Maiden Lane and forty-four feet on Cedar Street. On Maiden Lane the building is faced with cast iron and crowned by a mansard roof. Rusticated corner pavilions frame five central bays which are divided by unfluted engaged columns. Cornices set off the individual stories.
The first story is trabeated, the central bays on the second and third stories are crowned by flat arches, while the pavilions contain a trio of arches resting on slender pilasters. The column capitals and spandrels are decorated with paterae, modillions and stylized brackets enrich the first story cornice, there is a dentil course on the second story cornice, and console brackets and a paneled frieze are found above the third story.
The arrangement of windows and doors on the first story has been changed several times over the years. The wood and glass entrance is only a few months old, the window treatment of the center bays dates from about 1910, the window and transoms in the eastern end bay were installed in the 1920s; however, the paneled iron bulkhead beneath appears to be original to the facade and reflects the original tripartite arrangement of the window bays which is that of the upper stories.
A foundry plate labeled "Architectural Ironworks of N.Y." is clearly visible on the pier separating the eastern pavilion from the center bays. Though obscured by paint, there appear to be similar plates on the piers flanking the western entrance bay.
The second and third stories retain their original wood frames and double-hung wood one-over-one sash. The mansard is now covered with seamed sheet metal, instead of the original fishscale slates, and the dormers, now with triangular pediments, contain new windows, both the result of a 1960s alteration.
On Cedar Street the building has four full stories topped by a flat roof. The facade is faced with red brick (now painted) above a cast-iron storefront and is divided into six bays. On the ground story the bays are separated by iron piers which are articulated as pilasters with paterae on their capitals similar to those used to decorate the capitals and spandrels on the Maiden Lane facade.
The piers support a simple entablature with a projecting cornice. The openings between the piers has been sealed with brick infill. There is a modern metal and glass door in the first bay (from left to right) and a pair of steel doors surmounted by a wood transom bar in the fifth bay.
The upper stories originally had segmental arched windows with stone sills; all but the window openings in the first bay have brick infill. The remaining windows are wood-framed two-over-two double-hung sash. The facade is crowned by a corbeled brick cornice with projecting comer brackets.
Subsequent History
In the 1870s as the market for imported plate glass was contracting due to increased domestic production, the Roosevelts decided to leave the glass business. Reportedly the firm's last major commission was to supply plate glass to Chicago builders following the Great Fire.
In 1876, Roosevelt & Son moved from Maiden Lane, settling temporarily at 216 Pearl Street, before establishing itself permanently at 32 Pine Street. Led by James Alfred Roosevelt, who took control following the death of Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., in 1878, the firm turned to investment banking specializing in the underwriting of railroad and communication company bonds—notably the Great Northern Railroad and Atlantic and All American Cable Companies.
It is unclear how 90-94 Maiden Lane was used during the last quarter of the 19th century, though it remained in Roosevelt hands. In 1910 the building underwent a number of interior and storefront alterations to accommodate a new tenant, Sussfeld & Lorch & Co., importers of optical goods who moved there from a neighboring building on Maiden Lane.
In 1919 the Fire Company's Corporation, owner of the adjacent building at 80 Maiden Lane, purchased 90-94 Maiden Lane to prevent any future obstruction of the windows on the east side of its building. The buildings remain in common ownership today.

A few days ago, I was just sitting and reflecting on a few things..I started writing and this is what I came up with:
"I Used To Be Important"
I used to be important, never thought I'd be a flash in the pan
But I don't get paid for thinking, so here is where I stand
Abandoned, alone...no longer worthy of a special ringtone
This was something that I'd thought I have and now that some thing's gone
My mind's blown
This newfound existence is so bland
Especially considering I had the spice of life right here in my hands
And although I can not say that I truly understand
I do try to respect the move, as part of being a man
They say without a struggle, there will be no progress
Yeah, I guess
Alls I know is that my thought process is a mess
So, yeah it's a struggle..between my desire and common sense
She hit me with that fire and I ain't been common since
I used to be atop of everything, on top of the list
Nowadays, I have to wonder if I even exist
It's the pits...
Sometimes I wanna holler and throw up both my hands in a fit
But that ain't gon' change a thang so I pour up and I sit
Then I sip
On something straight with a proof no lower than ninety
I'm off in another world, where not a soul can find me
To consequently remind me, of how I haven't been treated kindly
Perhaps I need to keep moving forward and put those memories behind me
Maybe not two-day, but one day you will see
That the most important thing on your docket should have been me.
A view of one of the new 24/7 self-serve Pay 'N Pump fuel pumps at the new Waitomo facility located at the Tasman Fish & Cafe on SH1 in Foxton that was the site of Foxton BP until it closed its pumps on Friday, July 18th, 2008, and has since seen Foxton Mobil, about a kilometre up SH1 from the Tasman Fish & Cafe, having the Foxton fuel sales monoply for almost 7 years until the opening of the Waitomo fuel stop on the afternoon of Friday, July 10th.
With a price of $1.89.9 a litre for 91 octane, the Waitomo opening saw Foxton Mobil drop its price from $2.04.9 to $1.93.9 for a litre of 91 only a couple of hours afterwards, and which bought a healthy return of competition for Foxton motorists after nearly 7 years.
Apparently too these are the most southern Waitomo fuel pumps in NZ at the moment and there are plans to install a further four more at the Foxton site.
PETROL PUMPS OFF AS FOXTON BP WINDS UP
22/07/2008
Foxton shoppers who cherish their discount fuel vouchers will now have to travel at least 20km to cash them in.
On Friday [18 July 2008] the local BP petrol station officially switched off its pumps in preparation for shutting-up shop for good.
The closure is a blow to residents who buy their groceries at the local New World, which offers a discount at BP on its dockets.
Local New World owner-operator George Samson had not been warned the BP was closing, and said he was "shocked" by the news, and disappointed for his customers.
The discount vouchers were important to a lot of people, but now they would be worthless because people would have to travel to Levin or Palmerston North to use them, he said.
"Now my customers are going to say they're a waste of time, because I have to spend money to try and save money."
But he did not expect there to be any long-term effects on his business.
Jean and Stuart Marshall have owned the BP for 20 years and had about 10 employees, who were a mix of full and part-time.
While the pumps were off, the shop was remaining open until remaining stock was cleared, Mrs Marshall said yesterday.
She would not say why they had decided to close.
"I'd prefer not to make any comments."
Soaring fuel costs had made life hard though, she said.
"Petrol pricing is an issue that affects everybody, and margins are almost non-existent for independent operators. It makes it very difficult."
An armed robbery in May had played a role in the decision, but was not the deciding factor, she said.
"We've had several [robberies], and it's all part of the mix."
It was sad having to shut the doors. "Twenty-years of our life here, and we basically built it from a little garage."
They were yet to decide what they would do with the land, and she would not say what would happen to any remaining fuel or the tanks.
BP New Zealand spokeswoman Diana Stretch said they were in negotiations with the Marshalls about the issue.
Mobil Foxton owner Bob Wilkinson said tiny margins and a growing number of drive-offs meant it was a hard business to be now.
They had been marginally busier since the closure, but he was sad to see the competition closing.
"I'd rather see both of us thriving, but in the present climate it's very difficult to do that." - Manawatu Standard

The American Farm Heritage Museum was one man's dream. The Museum became a reality when a group of men, mostly farmers, sitting in coffee shop, talked about the dream of building a museum to preserve the farm heritage. Sixty farmers, collectors, and civic leaders held a meeting to share their ideas with the public in April of 2002. It was agreed that Bond County, being near the middle of the state and right along 1-70, would be the perfect place. Meetings were conducted, fundraisers were held, and ideas were passed around. In 2002 the land for the museum was acquired and a name for the museum was chosen.
The American Farm Heritage Museum would sit on seventeen acres, along the south side of interstate 70, just east of the Route 127 overpass. Its goal would be to promote and share the heritage of America's rural life: living, farming and travel. One very generous family purchased the land and leased it for ninety-nine years to the American Farm Heritage Museum, NFP organization. After a year of planning, the first 32'x64' building, with a gambrel roof, was completed. It was finished just days before the first Heritage Days Show in July 2004. This building, originally was to be a tractor maintenance shop, but later became known as the Lil' Red Barn Museum.
In the winter of 2005, owners of a truck terminal building in St. Louis gave the building to the Museum, if we took it down. Several members went to work and got the 200'x100' building moved and rebuilt. Since then other buildings and groups have been added to the show grounds.
We are growing with each passing year. Our Main building is the site of numerous events throughout the year. The Lil' Red Barn is a little piece of history, with collections of items from the past. In 2009 this building received the Illinois Governor's Home Town Award. The Tractor Shed displays different makes of tractors and tools of the past. Our Christmas building, which operates as a work shop and houses all the Christmas boxes for The Christmas Lights Wonderland, partners with The Lil' Red Barn, Railroad, Hill's Fort and the Armed Forces Museum to put on a spectacular Christmas display.
The American Heritage Railroad, established in 2003 is a division of the American Farm Heritage Museum. Many rail-enthusiast members realized as farms were connected by the American Railroad so should the Museum have an operating railroad for its historic value, as well as provide a fun ride for visitors. May 10, 2005 the railroad division was officially formed and an intensive search began to procure equipment. Many thousands of hours of volunteer labor, by friends of the railroad, have resulted in over a mile of 13" gauge track being laid, on the grounds. It is our desire to honor the great railroads that have served Bond County, such as the Vandalia, Nickel Plate, Pennsylvania and CB & Q. In 2005 the Ben Winter's Museum railroad was purchased which provided a G-15 diesel train set. The final move of the Ben Winter's railroad was completed in November, in three days with 20 volunteers, 9 trailers and one semi-truck. The collection has grown to include both diesel and steam engines and a variety of rolling stock. The railroad owns three steam locomotives. It is hoped the 1926 Wagner 4-4-2 steam engine will be ready for operation for the 2015 season.
2005 Hill's Fort also joined the Museum. Hill's Fort played an important part in the opening of Northwest Territory. Hill's Fort may have started as early as 1806 when early settlers first arrived. The Fort's location appears on an 1808 survey map by Capt. Isaac Hill, leader of a team commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to survey the Illinois Territory. The Legislature fixed Hill's Fort as the temporary county seat. Earliest records are preserved from Hill's Fort and include court and marriage dockets. The Bond County seat was later moved to Perrysville and, in 1821 to Greenville, Illinois. No longer useful as a fort or county seat, Hill's Fort was abandoned and fell to ruin.
Following excruciating study of the original site, a replica of the Fort has been recreated on the grounds of the Farm Museum. It is open to the public on the 1st Saturday of the month from May through October and also open, for tours and special occasions. At Christmas time they are open Friday and Saturday nights for the Christmas lights. They dress in period dress and cook over the open fireplace in the cabin, and are eager to answer questions.
In 2012 The Armed Forces Museum, "Memories of Steel", joined our Museum. It maintains as its sole mission, to preserve these important pieces of military history. The Museum houses one of the largest collections of military vehicles in the County. It currently watches over approximately 15 privately-owned and 25 museum-owned vehicles. The members are involved in a program called "Living history" which furnishes displays of t1istoric vehicles and memorabilia and, works with re-enactors at civil events like Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day. Each of these vehicles has an historic story and plays a very important role in connecting us with the soldiers who lived and died in their service to the country.

Noah Fram-Schwarz ordered the syringe on Amazon and printed the green base, installed a motor, and expoxied it together to print food. The first project is to print cupcakes with the Cupcake Club. Next on the docket is to invite a rabbi to certify the printer kosher (the "replikosher" ;))

"Barrett-Jackson delivered many magical experiences for everyone who joined us in Scottsdale," said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. "From the excitement of the auction block to the thrill rides, exhibits, STEM Fest and live music, there was truly something that everyone in the family could enjoy. We filled our docket with so much diversity that collectors from every walk of life found something they loved. We stay on top of the trends and consign the vehicles that people want, proving once again that the car collector hobby is thriving. Those trends include the growing popularity of Resto-Mods, SUVs and trucks, which are gaining momentum because they appeal to such a broad cross section of people. I’m especially proud of our support for important charities again this year. We not only raised millions of dollars but also critical awareness that will help make a positive impact on so many communities."
