Newport: Towards City Spires 2010.
This photo led to a comment - see below - on the City Spires project for Newport (completion is planned for 2010).
See notes below for compartative skyscraper proposals in Cardiff and Swansea, plus a historical glance back to Llandaff Cathedral (1867) and Cardiff Castle (1869) and Cardiff City Hall (1905) tower schemes.
The tower is of course an outstanding architectural type, a signifier of temporal power and authority.
A historical reflection, therefore.
In the case of nineteenth century Industrial South Wales, we see the passage of power and authority from the ecclesiastical (- Llandaff Cathederal restoration), to the secular and industrial capitalist (- even if dressed in historicist garb: Bute's Cardiff Castle restoration scheme and Clock Tower, a patron-architect partnership in the Renaissance tradition; Bute is held by architectural historian Mark Girouard to be the single most important secular patron of architecture in British history; Bute's wealth coming from the land assets and industrial enterprise of the Bute estate), to the civic (Cardiff City Hall Clock Tower, symbolising the triumph of the municipal sphere; Cardiff Civic Centre was the UK's first planned civic centre -- typically "American Wales", its inspiration can be traced back to the 1893 Chicago Exposition, hence the Beaux Arts flavour). (-Note, cf also "Pallas Athena"; a riposte to Bute's indulgent Clock Tower).
In the C21st, we see "post-industrial" urban redevelopment strategies and their "post-modern" architectural monuments placing a new emphasis on height as a sign of desire, prestige and power.
A new matrix of property investment, spectacle, and desire. The market. The shift from social polity to consumption and "lifestyle".

Following completion of the bridge supports, the steel box girders will be lifted onto the supports by large cranes, except for the section over the Cathcart Circle/West Coast Main Line rail lines and Pollokshaws Road where the beams will be ‘launched’ over the roads and rail lines by pushing with jacks. Two major temporary steel trestle supports will be erected either side of the rail lines to assist in temporarily supporting the bridge when it is being launched
One notes the Queen departed after her celebration. As someone in the media mused, she probably thought ‘business is complete’ and that was it.

This store opened in 1986 with an earlier expansion to Tea Tree Plaza. After almost 15 years of retaining a 'hybrid look' i.e. a mixture of old & new fixtures, it is now being transformed into a modern new look store including the Garden Centre being converted into an indoor extension.
The first phase of renovating our 1865 farmhouse nears completion as we have a functioning kitchen and bathroom; more photos to come of the finished work as we get settled in. But for now Mary's roses get to serve as a centerpiece; we discover a wardrobe we plan to use was built for her great-grandfather; a dragon fly finds its way into the screened porch; and, most of all, it's once again a place for family to gather, which was the point of this project from the start.

On Dec. 5, 2022, the USACE Charleston District gathered with stakeholders to celebrate the completion of the Charleston Harbor Post 45 Deepening Project. With the final pull of a lever and radio call to the dredge, officials marked the end of this decade-long project. The Post 45 project deepened Charleston Harbor to a depth of 52 feet, allowing the largest container ships in the world to use the port at any time and any tide. In attendance at the ceremony was the Charleston District Leadership team, Post 45 Project Delivery Team, South Atlantic Division Commander Brigadier General Daniel Hibner, CEO of the SC Ports Authority Barbara Melvin, Congresswomen Nancy Mace, US Senator Tim Scott, US Senator Lindsey Graham, and SC Governor Henry McMaster.
Jagdtiger 322 is nearing completion. I have painted the exhausts and added some camolage to the tank. I need a figure fr the top hatch and a few more tiny bits of paint to call this model comeplete.
Philae Temple Complex is on an island in the reservoir of the Aswan Low Dam, downstream of the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, Egypt. Philae was originally located near the expansive First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt and was the site of an Egyptian temple complex. These rapids and the surrounding area have been flooded since the initial construction of the Aswan Low Dam in 1902. The temple complex was dismantled and moved to nearby Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project, protecting this and other complexes before the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam.
One of Nubia's most important monument sites, the Temples of Philae, 12 kilometers south of Aswan, was an ancient pilgrimage center for the cult of Isis and dazzled travelers with its power for centuries. This sacred site was venerated from the Pharaonic era up to the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods with each ruler adding their own stamp onto the stones here.
The First Pylon leads into the main temple area. Its two towers and central doorway provide a grand 18-meter-high entry that is decorated with reliefs by Nectanebo. A doorway in the western tower with reliefs by Philometor, leads directly to the Birth House. In front of the pylon there originally stood two granite obelisks erected by Euergetes II and two granite lions. Adjoining the east tower, an elegant gateway has reliefs by Ptolemy II Philadelphus (on the lintel) and the Emperor Tiberius (on the jambs). The gateway, built by Philadelphus, originally stood in a brick wall.
On the front of the east tower, a huge relief depicts Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos grasping a band of enemies by the hair and raising his club to smite them, with Isis, the falcon-headed Horus of Edfu, and Hathor on the left. Above are two reliefs of Neos Dionysos presenting the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt to Horus and Nephthys (right) and offering incense to Isis and Harpocrates (left).
On either side of the Forecourt, you'll see structures fronted by colonnades. The small building to the east contained rooms for the priests, which served some scientific purpose. Look for the plant columns in its vestibule, which are notable for their elegant proportions. On the north side of the building's vestibule, a door accesses the inner passage around the temple.
The building on the western side of the Forecourt is the Birth House (mammisi), dedicated to Hathor-Isis in honor of the birth of her son Horus. It is surrounded on all four sides by colonnades, the columns in which have foliage capitals surmounted by sistrum capitals. The walls, columns, and screens between the columns are covered with reliefs and inscriptions, mostly by Euergetes II, Neos Dionysos, Augustus, and Tiberius.
In the Birth House check out the interesting reliefs in the last chamber, which depict scenes from the childhood of Horus, including Horus as a falcon in the swamps of the Delta and Isis suckling Horus in the swamps.
The Second Pylon provides a fittingly regal entry to the inner sanctum of the temple with a magnificent doorway 32 meters wide and 12 meters high. The reliefs on the central doorway are by Euergetes II. In front of the doorway are the foundations of a small chapel. Within the central doorway (on the right, above) are some much faded early Christian paintings.
The eight-columned Vestibule is the first room of the inner temple area and was originally separated from the court by screens between the columns on the front. Look for the Coptic crosses and Greek inscription incised into the walls that show how the temple was transformed into a Christian place of worship during the early Byzantine age under the Coptic Bishop Theodore.
After passing through a number of antechambers flanked by dark side chambers, you come to the Sanctuary, lit by two small windows. On the west side of this room is a door leading out of the temple to arrive at the Gateway of Hadrian. Gateway of Hadrian was built in the reign of the Emperor Hadrian and decorated with reliefs by Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, and Lucius Verus.
Long after the introduction of Christianity, the Nubians remained faithful to the cult of Isis, and it was only in the time of Justinian (AD 527-565) that the temples were closed and some of their chambers converted for use in Christian worship. From then until the coming of Islam, a Coptic town flourished on the island.
Southeast of the Temple of Hathor, on the bank of the river, is the Kiosk of Trajan, which during Egypt's age of Victorian explorers was a favorite subject of famous English artists. It dates from the Roman Imperial period and was left unfinished.
All that remains is to fit ballast. Its easy enough to fabricate a bulb of Lead, but should I? How about our nervous systems? I don't know if there is cause for alarm, but it seems wise to be cautious. So, I'm going to experiment with a lighter metal, Copper. More metal will be needed, but it shines so nice.

Wiring completion & early testing.
We have the wiring completed, and the circuit is working. I don't have time to test it to temperature tonight, and want to be able to monitor things pretty closely so I am going to wait until tomorrow to bring the unit up to cooking temperatures.
I will be writing up an at length description of this project when it is completed and tested (which should be in the next several days for those who are interested enough to follow up).
