Ronacher Theater
The Ronacher, earlier Etablissement Ronacher, is a theater in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt, located between Himmelpfortgasse, Seilerstättee and Schellinggasse. It forms together with the Raimund Theater and the Theater an der Wien the venues of the United Stages of Vienna and via the Vienna Holding to nearly 100 per cent owned by the City of Vienna (Rudolf Klausnitzer holds a minority interest ).

Facade of the Ronacher (2008)
It was initially as Vienna municipal theater from 1871 to 1872 by the architects Ferdinand Fellner the Elder and Ferdinand Fellner the Younger for a private Ltd. of journalist Max Friedlander and theater playwright and conductor Heinrich Laube built. The two with it wanted to establish that a bourgeois theater which - without censorship - should compete against the imperial court theaters. The house was opened on 15 September 1872 with Schiller's Demetrius in a revion of Laube. Twelve years after the opening the house burned on 16 May 1884 down. Since the building is not free on all four sides, a reconstruction as a playhouse was not admitted because of the fire protection regulations valid in the meantime. 1886 Anton Ronacher bought the burnt-out ruins and had in turn by Ferdinand Fellner the Younger (who had meanwhile founded the office Fellner & Helmer) 1887-1888 on it build a concert hall and ballroom. The wall paintings were pictured by Eduard Veith. The main staircase was built with steps from Kaisersteinbruch. The new variety theater was attached a large ballroom and a hotel, in addition, it could already use electric light, contained promenades and a conservatory.
The new Ronacher was no playhouse but equipped with tables and chairs. During the performance was allowed to drink, to eat and to smoke. Due to the poor economic situation, however, Ronacher had to give up the house later. From 1890 appeared more often artists what increasingly attracted suburban population and was frighten away the aristocracy. Later, the program was supplemented by revues, operettas, dance and vocal performances. The house was in the process again and again rebuilt and adapted to the needs of modern vaudeville operation (1901, 1906 and ongoing 1907-1916; always by Ferdinand Fellner the Younger).
After the Anschluss in 1938, the theater by linearization (Aryanisation) passed over from its previous owner Samuel Schöngut, who then died in a concentration camp, to Bernhard Labriola.
After the Second World War was the Ronacher to 1955 alternative stage for the by bombs damaged Burgtheater. Then appeared again vaudeville artists before 1960 Austrian television used the premises for TV productions. After a ten-year vacancy, in 1986 for the first time the performance of an operetta took place, this time Cagliostro in Vienna of Johann Strauss (son). 1987 bought the United Stages of Vienna the house and performed the musical Cats and two operas. An architectural competition resulted in 1987 as a winning project a "deconstructivistic" increase. The project of Coop Himmelblau was however target of fierce public criticism and was in August 1991 sidelined. 2003, 2004 and 2008 was the Ronacher host of the gala ceremony of the Nestroy Theatre Prize.
After several years as a guest house for international productions and festival events the Ronacher was expanded by 46.9 million euros to a musical stage. By mid-2008 stage technology has been modernized and lowered the floor of the stage to two meters, which means the view to the stage has been improved. The increase of the building by architect Günther Domenig was carried out despite massive political and townscape preserving concerns.
The Ronacher currently disposes of 1,001 seats and 40 standing places. The exact number of seats and standing places varies depending on the production.

Am Hof historically is one of the most important places of Vienna. It is located between Bognergasse, Naglergasse, Heidenschuss, Färbergasse, Jews square and Schulhof in the oldest part of the city in the immediate vicinity of the medieval ghetto.

The square Am Hof was already part of the Roman military camp Vindobona and was uninhabited in the early Middle Ages.
Between 1155 and about 1275, the completion of the New Castle at the site of today's Swiss tract of the Hofburg, was here the Court of the Babenberg, that Henry Jasomirgott built himself in 1155/56, after he had moved his residence from Klosterneuburg (Lower Austria) to Vienna. This residence was a complex of buildings around an open space, so a court, with the home of the Duke as a center. To the north-west and southwest the "court" leaned against the wall of the Roman fort, into town, it was limited by gates against the bourgeois Old Town and Jewish Town. Here received Heinrich Jasomirgott and his wife Theodora in 1165 Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who was on the Third Crusade to the Holy Land.
Under Henry's son Leopold V was the tournament and subsequent market place 1177-1194 scene of glittering events where singers and poets such as Reinmar of Haguenau and his student Walther von der Vogelweide appeared in minstrelsy-contests.
With the move of the Prince Regnants in the Swiss wing of the then much smaller Hofburg in 1275, came the "Babenbergerpfalz" (Am Hof) in the late 13th century to the Princely Mint. The houses no. 10 and no. 12 the neighboring ghetto around the Jews square were incorporated. From 1340 At the Court were held markets. In 1365 it came to the temporary accommodation of the Carmelites in the Mint, 1386 to the official donation by Albrecht III., the place for the first time being called "Am Hof". The Carmelites instead of Roman Mint court chapel (Münzhofkapelle) erected a three-nave Gothic monastery church, that they finished about 1420. The Gothic choir still today is visible from the alley behind it. The Carmelites had already owned the house of the Jew Muschal, to that they obtained yet more houses, inter alia, the by Albrecht III. purchased house of the poet Peter Suchenwirt.
The place was originally isolated from the nearby Freyung by houses that left only a narrow connection alley and were demolished in 1846. As early as from the 14th century, it was used as a market, later also as a place of execution. 1463 was here the mayor Wolfgang Holzer on command of Albrecht Vl. executed. 1515 the Habsburg-Jagellonian double wedding of Emperor Maximilian I was held here. In the 16th and 17th centuries the place was also called Crab market, since saltwater fish and crabs were offered. In the 18th century at the market only vegetables and fruits were sold.
After the handing over of the church and convent to the Jesuits in 1554, the square was listening to the name of "At the Upper Jesuits" and was the scene of spiritual performances of the Jesuits before their church. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773 the place was again called "Am Hof". The convent building of the Jesuits was 1783-1913 the seat of the Imperial War Council and the War Ministry.
1782 Pius VI. from the terrace of the church gave the blessing Urbi et Orbi. On August 6, 1806 also from the loggia of the church announced an Imperial herald the end of the Holy Roman Empire, at the top of which the Habsburgs had stood for over half a millennium, and the abdication of the Imperial crown by Francis II.:"... that We the band, which has bound us until now to the body politic of the German Empire, as having been dissolved consider".
Took place on 14 March 1848 in the wake of the 1848 revolution the storming of the Arsenal, on 6 October the minister of war Theodor Count Baillet von Latour was pulled out from the building, killed and by the crowd hung in the middle of the square on a lantern. The place for a short time was called "People's Square".
1842-1918 and 1939-1942, the Christmas market Am Hof enjoyed great popularity. In 1973, arose here the Vienna Flea market, which in 1977 due to space limitations was relocated on the Naschmarkt. Today again yearly a Christmas market is taking place.
In 1892, before the building of the k.k. Hofkriegsrathsgebäude (the War Department), the equestrian statue of Field Marshal Radetzky of Caspar von Zumbusch was unveiled, which was transferred in 1912 before the newly constructed building of the War Department At Stubenring. The place of the Hofkriegsratsgebäude in 1915 took the Headquarters of the Länderbank.
Furthermore, Am Hof was still the main police station (Hauptwache), the Nunciature and the Lower chamber office.
In Carol Reed's film "The Third Man" (filmed in 1948) the place Am Hof appears prominently, on it stands the advertising column, through which one enters the underworld of the Vienna sewer system.
1962-63 in the course of excavations for an underground garage under the square Am Hof remains of the Roman settlement have been found. In the basement of the present fire station in original location a piece of the main channel of the camp can be visited, which absorbed the wastewater from the southern camp and led it into the Deep Ditch to the brook Ottakringerbach.
Pope John Paul II. did as his predecessor had done and gave in 1983 on the occasion of his visit to Vienna from the loggia also the Easter blessing.
On September 7, 2007 Pope Benedict XVI celebrated with approximately 7,000 people in the pouring rain as the first major program of his Austria trip one Stational Mass. After just six minutes, the microphone of the Pope and the video walls became inoperative, which is why the speech of Benedict XVI. had to be stopped.

Measuring your stoma is one of the most crucial skills to know. Not only will it help you prevent leaks, but it will also allow you to extend the appliance wear time. It will ultimately help you save your #skin.
In this article, we will discuss how to measure your stoma.
Note that this guide is for people who have a round-shaped and adequately protruded #stoma. This guide will help people with colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies. You may not get perfect results if your stoma is flush or overly protruded.
Similarly, if you have a loop ostomy, it will not be possible for you to benefit from a circular guide. You are going to have to be creative while measuring the stoma to create a perfect flange’s opening. One way to use a circular guide for a loop stoma is to use a half-circle. This way, you will be able to get the required shape of the opening.
Every skin wafer is different from the others. All wafers are made to swell when they come in contact with the stomal output, but the degree at which they swell may vary from brand to #brand. That said, you may want to create an opening slightly larger than your stoma. It will allow the flange to expand without strangling your stoma. It is crucial to get a flange that gives your stoma enough space to expand when waste contents pass out of it. You will, of course, need to make sure that the flange sticks well to your skin.
Change in the stoma size
The change in the size of the stoma is inevitable in the first few weeks after #surgery. There will be swelling in the stoma right after surgery. Over time, this swelling subsides, and the stoma settles to an almost permanent shape 6-8 weeks after surgery. It is the normal process to anticipate.
A stoma can also change its size due to certain changes in the body. For instance, there may be a change in the shape and size of the stoma when you gain or lose weight. Some conditions that may result in the change of the size of the stoma include a prolapsing and parastomal hernia. You can make an accurate opening to make the #flange fitting the shape and size of your stoma.
You may want to use the following supplies while measuring your stoma.
• A measuring guide. It will be particularly beneficial if you are using cut-to-fit #ostomy barriers.
• Ostomy barrier #scissors. These scissors help you create an opening that will not have sharp edges.
• A marker for tracing.
• Gauze to keep your stoma dry. You are going to need it when you are not wearing anything over your stoma. It is typically more beneficial if you have a #urostomy.
• Mirror. It will be helpful if your stoma is away from the scope of vision due to any reason.
Most cut-to-fit wafers come with markers that allow you to create an opening of the exact shape and size of your choice. You may want to learn about creating an opening from your ostomy care nurse.
Knidos (Cnidus)
Ancient City, Turkey
Written By: The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
See Article History
Cnidus, ancient Greek city on the Carian Chersonese, on the southwest coast of Anatolia. The city was an important commercial centre, the home of a famous medical school, and the site of the observatory of the astronomer Eudoxus. Cnidus was one of six cities in the Dorian Hexapolis and hosted the Dorian games every four years. The Cnidians claimed they were of Spartan origin.
First founded on the southern coast of the Reşadiye peninsula, it was moved in c. 330 bc to Deveboynu Burnu (Cape Kriyo), where a small island was artificially joined to the mainland. One of the two harbours thus created served ships of war, the other merchant shipping. Cnidus founded colonies on Lipara, north of Sicily, and at Black Corcyra (modern Korčula, Croatia) in the Adriatic Sea.
After a vain attempt to convert their peninsula into an island, the Cnidians submitted to the Persians soon after 546 bc; they supported Athens in the Delian League against Persia but revolted against Athens in 412. Cnidus became a democracy in the 4th century bc and was under Ptolemaic control in the 3rd century. It was a free city within the Roman province of Asia, enduring until the 7th century ad, when it was abandoned.
C.T. Newton, excavating the site in 1857–59, found a marble statue of the seated Demeter there. Later excavation revealed the axial plan of the ancient city, a few private dwellings, and numerous public buildings. The most significant of these is the Temple of Aphrodite, a circular Doric temple, excavated by Iris C. Love in 1970. At this site Love found the marble base and fragments of the famous statue of Aphrodite sculpted by Praxiteles in the 4th century bc. The statue, one of the most celebrated in classical antiquity, was purchased by the people of Cnidus after the citizens of the Cos had rejected it on account of its nudity.

DEMETER FROM KNIDOS
The sculpture of Demeter, found in her sanctuary at Knidos in 1858, was first recorded in modern times by English travelers in 1812. The inherent pathos of the figure – the deep-set eyes and other facial characteristics – is often associated with works of the 4th century BCE. sculptor Skopas. However, the work is also often attributed to other sculptors, and some sources date the origin of the work to later centuries.
Here, Demeter is shown seated on a throne - the back part and arm-rails have broken away and are missing. Her lower arms and hands are also lost, though she probably once held a libation bowl or torch. The head was carved separately from the body and socketed into the neck. Demeter is portrayed as a model of Greek womanhood - serene, mature, motherly and modestly veiled. It is speculated that the piece may have originally been accompanied by a standing figure, presumably Persephone. It is also speculated that weary in her search, she sits alone.
Historical Context:
The Sanctuary of Demeter at Knidos was laid out at about the same time as the re-founding of the city, around 350 BCE. The sanctuary consisted of a long platform terraced into the side of an acropolis, with spectacular views of the city below and the sea beyond. Many votive sculptures were once displayed within the sanctuary. Most of these survive only as fragments, but this cult statue of Demeter herself is remarkably intact.

1980 article discussing the outrageous salaries among athletes and entertainers. Seems rather quaint now.
You can never have everything you want. Since the time you are little your parents will tell you that you can not do what you want and make money, while doing it. It’s an axiom.
And then there are pro players.
Every week we put out interwiews with a pro LoL team. This week we are meeting the rising stars of NA. They did great at GameCon and IEM, faced against top world teams. This year they are trying out for LCS.
Each day we will do an AMA with one of the players. We’ll kick off tomorrow.
Let’s meet the members of Strike 5.

My buddy over at SoupUp Magazine (http://soupupmagazine.com) is doing a story on an old dirt track racer from Waco, Texas who competed in the 1960's. This newspaper article is of him and in the background of the picture is a VW bus in the background. He was kind enough to pass this along! Look close!
Thanks everyone who voted for my on the Rockford Fosgate contest! Heres an article about me and my love for cars in a local newspaper.
