Keizersgracht
The Keizersgracht, the second of the three Amsterdam canals that together form the canals, lies between Herengracht and Prinsengracht.
The first part of the Keizersgracht (between Brouwersgracht and (approximately) the current Leidsegracht was dug in the summer of 1615 on the initiative of mayor Frans Hendricksz Oetgens, city carpenter Hendrick Jacobsz Staets and urban surveyor Lucas Jansz Sinck, The Keizersgracht, named after Emperor Maximilian I of the Holy Roman Empire, is the widest canal in the center of Amsterdam, namely one hundred feet from Amsterdam, ie 28.31 meters.Very remarkable detail is that the Keizersgracht was later dug than the Prinsengracht (which was dug in 1614), while the Keizersgracht the second canal is from the three main canals.
In September 1614, the idea arose of turning Keizersgracht into a chic boulevard without water, following the example of Lange Voorhout in The Hague. There they have seen for a few reasons. The council suspected that the future buyers of lots on the Keizersgracht would like to reach their home or warehouse by boat. Other considerations were the need for water storage, the easier supply of building and material for raising, but especially the shortage of collection material. The construction of the fortifications also required a lot of material for raising.
In November 1615 the allotment on the east side was finished. The lots got the same width by 30 feet as on the Herengracht. The construction was soon completed: in 1618 there were hardly any vacant plots.
The part between the Leidsegracht and the Amstel belongs to the fourth interpretation (1658). In 1663 the actual digging of this part of the Keizersgracht began. In 1667 both parts of the Keizersgracht were connected.
The part between the Amstel and the Plantage Muidergracht was built last. This part was given the name Nieuwe Keizersgracht.
City architect Daniël Stalpaert conceived an extra street between Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht during the second phase in 1663 to provide the canal houses with a back entrance where one could build a coach house: the Kerkstraat.
In 1949, because of the elm disease, the municipality had all the trees cut down on the canal, after which lime trees were planted.

These safe deposit boxes were in our hotel, which used to be a bank. The hotel had converted the room into a conference room!

Housed on one of the lower floors, this is where the wealthy of Detroit came to secure their most valuable possessions.
In the 1920s electricity was unreliable in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So Northwestern Mutual installed dual-purpose lights. The gas light was at the top and the electric one at the bottom.

Esta toma causó otra visita al lugar ya que se me olvido mirarlo y después no se me quitaba de la cabeza la posibilidad de su existencia en el banco.
Del tamaño de una puerta normal esta imponente caja fuerte estaba en una zona oscura que también tubo que ser iluminada con la linterna.
Tiene un par de avisos sobre su apertura retardada y la imposibilidad de abrirla.
Este es el primer abandono de donde tengo recuerdos del lugar, buenos recuerdos que van desde las comidas del restaurante hasta correr para comprar golosinas en Gretel (esas alubias de colores me encantaban xD)
Al mismo tiempo es también el primer lugar donde entro y me pilla la policÃa con las manos en la masa sin llegar la cosa a mayores mas que una recomendación de cautela.
Un poco de Historia como siempre:
En el año 1981 se abrió al publico el que serÃa el primer centro comercial de Vitoria. Este centro era muy diferente a lo que hoy entendemos como centro comercial pero en aquella época fue una revolución para Gasteiz ya que entonces era una ciudad pequeña que se asemejaba mas a un pueblo grande. Contaba con supermercado, cajero y banco, peluquerÃa, taller mecánico, restaurante, tienda de golosinas, bar, quiosco de prensa y algunas otras tiendas.
Tras 22 años en funcionamiento se decidió abandonar el local en 2003 para transladarlo a un emplazamiento mas céntrico y moderno dentro de un complejo de establecimientos.
Aunque los propietarios intentaron venderlo para crear 99 viviendas el ayuntamiento les negó la licencia por tratarse de zona inundable.
Se habló de nuevos acuerdos para reutilizar el suelo pero 8 años después de su abandono no parece que vaya a servir mas que para avergonzar a la ciudad.
Como siempre en estos casos ya han habido detenciones por robos y vandalismo.Esta sala no se exactamente que era, no se para que valdrÃa eso del techo que pero daba bastante yuyu. La sala no tiene nada de luz y cuando digo nada es nada. Está tomada ayudándome por la linterna ya que sin ella la cámara solo registraba negro absoluto.

Another from the vault. Waiting in the vault for the Armored car guys to do their thing I snapped a few shots of the safe deposit boxes.

In the present economic climate, where the rich get hugely richer at the expense of the honest worker, and the rich old folk in charge keep everything calmly turning over - well, 'nuff said.

Another passel of odds and ends as it's quiet. I hope they will be cleared by the weekend as I'm going away again.
The world of jewelry is full of opportunity. There are lots of different things used when making jewelry, which are all worth different amounts of money. A shopper who hasn't done their homework can find yourself overpaying for a piece. Use these following guidelines to help you purchase jewelry wisely.
Jewelry is best stored in an area with low humidity. To protect your jewelry it is important to secure it in a small bag with a drawstring, or in a jewelry box that continues to be closed a majority of the time. Being published to extreme humidity and temperature can cause your pieces to tarnish. Silver polishes work well to remove tarnish, but certain metals, such as bronze, may not polish well. The polish may remove the surface coating and therefore the metal underneath, such as copper, becomes visible.
Know which kind of stone you are buying with your jewelry. Gemstones come in three different varieties: natural, imitation and synthetic. Synthetic stones are lab created jewels, while imitation stones are normally colored glass. Natural stones are found in the earth and are mined out, while synthetic ones are grown in laboratories.
Every piece of jewelry should last a life-time. When buying jewelry, only order from dealers with good reputations, so that you don't buy a piece that seems durable, but really isn't. A high-quality piece of jewelry should be well-made and show superior craftsmanship. The jeweler ought to know the history of the piece, such as its manufacturer and the source of the gemstones. Unless you purchase jewelry that is of high-quality, the piece is not likely to keep going for a lifetime.
To help maintain its appearance, take better care of it to keep it from getting tarnished. When wearing your jewelry, you should avoid being exposed to water. Various types of metal will become dulled, tarnished, or rusty when exposed to it. To protect your jewelry from exposure, apply a single coat of clear nail lacquer to its surface.
You can use a brooch to make your belt stand out, as it is sure to be eye-catching. Think about placing it near your hip or at waist level.
Now that you have read this, you will understand how to purchase all types of jewelry wisely. By implementing these suggestions, your next trip to the jewelers should save time and money. www.stjames-safedeposit.com/services/insurance/
