The Albertina
The architectural history of the Palais
(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)

"It is my will that the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".
This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.

It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.
The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.
In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.

The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:
After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".
Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905
This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.
The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Image: The palace after the demolition of the entrance facade, 1948-52
Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.
Image: The palace after the Second World War with simplified facades, the rudiment of the Danubiusbrunnens (well) and the new staircase up to the Augustinerbastei
This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.
Image: The restored suburb facade of the Palais Albertina suburb
The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

Bravery involves acting on conviction even if unpopular, not shrinking from fear, and speaking up for what is right even if there is opposition. Bravery has been called corrective because, in some ways, it is used to counteract difficulties everyone faces. We typically think of bravery as physical, such as the bravery demonstrated by soldiers on a battlefield. Bravery is also psychological, such as when we face our problems in a direct way, when we admit our vulnerabilities, and when we seek help. Bravery is moral when we stand up for those who are less fortunate or cannot defend themselves or when we speak up in a group advocating for the rights of others. Bravery is not equivalent to fearlessness because fear is certainly experienced. Rather, bravery is the ability to do what needs to be done in spite of fear. This strength is evident when choosing to do the unpopular but correct thing, or facing a terminal illness with equanimity, or resisting peer pressure regarding a morally questionable shortcut. As a signature strength, bravery emerges regularly, not only in exceptional circumstances.
“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

The ritual involves immersing the image of Sto. Niño in a basin of perfumed water, bathing it and dressing it up in less ornate attire symbolizing the end of the fiesta. In the past, the ritual was limited to the privacy of the Augustinian friar's quarters and witnessed only by a chosen group of women.
When the public learned of the closed-door ritual, they asked the priest to allow them to witness it. The Augustinians made the ritual public for the first time in 1990. The ritual begins with the removing of the crown, followed by the orb and scepter and armlet, the bands, cape, tunic, the inner garments and boots. Then the icon is dressed up again with a new set of less ornate grab. A prayer is recited for each peace of clothing, signifying an event in the life of Jesus
21st March 2015 saw Miles Continental ŠKODA's first involvement with the Coffee Culture Le Race. For us, the day itself was a culmination of 5 months of training with our very own 'ŠKODA Cycle Wave'. Along with the support of fellow local businesses, we trained together throughout the months and started the race itself as one.
At the end of the race, our guests had use of the ŠKODA tent, with lounge facilities and refreshments.
We really enjoyed the entire event and look forward to the next one.

The Jackson Walk for Warmth took place in downtown Jackson, where the Consumers Energy Headquarters is located. Pictured, Patti Poppe, Vice President of Customer Experience and Operations (right), carries a Consumers Energy banner with other employees.
This project involves constructing approximately 11 miles of second track along the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR) corridor in Rowan County. A second track will allow trains to pass more frequently, reducing congestion, increasing capacity and reliability, and decreasing travel time between Raleigh and Charlotte. Additionally, the work will involve upgrading some railroad crossings and permanently closing others, extending Kimball Road from Main Street to Chapel Street, and constructing a bridge carrying the North Carolina Railroad tracks over Kimball Road. The project limits extend along U.S. 29 from Airport Road in Salisbury to 18th Street in Kannapolis.
This project is one of three that in total will add approximately 26 miles of new second track along the main line. These projects will provide an uninterrupted double track spanning 92 miles between Greensboro and Charlotte.
This section of the NCRR is part of the busiest railroad corridor in North Carolina. This project is among improvements to the NCRR corridor between Raleigh and Charlotte to increase railroad capacity, efficiency, and safety.
Project contract was awarded in November 2013.

Snowboarding:
Snowboarding is a sport that involves descending a slope that is either partially or fully covered with snow on a snowboard attached to a rider's feet using a special boot set into a mounted binding. The development of snowboarding was inspired by skateboarding, surfing and skiing. It was developed in the United States in the 1960s and the 1970s and became a Winter Olympic Sport in 1998.
Since snowboarding's inception as an established winter sport, it has developed various styles, each with its own specialized equipment and technique. The most common styles today are: freeride, freestyle, and freecarve/race. These styles are used for both recreational and professional snowboarding. While each style is unique, there is overlap between them. See also List of snowboard tricks.
Freeride:
The freeride style is the most common and easily accessible style of snowboarding. It involves riding down any terrain available. Freeriding may include aerial tricks and jib (any type of fixture which can be ridden with the board/skis) tricks borrowed from freestyle, or deep carve turns more common in alpine snowboarding, utilizing whatever natural terrain the rider may encounter.
Freeriding equipment is usually a stiff soft shell boot with a directional twin snowboard. Since the freeride style may encounter many different types of snow conditions, from ice to deep pow down powder slopes. very fast

The sad, unfortunate chapter that involves Dear Paddington and cured pork belly.
Dearest readers. If you don’t have a tissue handy, please fetch one. This sad tale could bring tears to a glass eye.
Earlier this evening, Paddington asked me if he could borrow my car so he could go up to the grocer’s and get himself a jar of orange marmalade. I threw him the keys and reminded him, “You’re going to have to move the seat forward or your legs won’t reach the peddles.” As he was heading into the garage, I asked him, “Can you pick me up some bacon please? I haven’t had any forever.” [Note: I wanted American bacon made from pork belly. Not the overcooked sliced ham they eat in Canada, Oh Canada!]
Now, I had ASSuMEd that Paddington would grab me a standard 14oz (~400 g) package from the meat cooler. This did not happen. I now know that Paddington went up to the butcher counter and asked him for some hickory wood smoked, extremely thick hand-sliced bacon.
However, and most unfortunately, Paddington brought home 6 pounds (~2.72 kg) of extremely thick-sliced, hickory smoked American bacon. He had opened the butcher wrap and set up a nice presentation of it all upon my chopping block. He even asked Alamo Basement Fighting Texas A&M “Aggie” Ring to bring his riding spurs and pose upon the monstrously large pile of American bacon like a Greek God.
The three bear “Brain Trust” were all in attendance to witness my reaction — Darkest Peruvian Paddington, Little Texas A&M Aggie Trumpet Case Bear, and the only real English bear, Pooh Bear from the Hundred Acre Woods.
I was speechless. I was going to shout at Paddington for bringing ~2.72 kg of delicious, hickory-smoked, very thick sliced American bacon home. However, I took a deep, deep breath and remembered to myself that one should never shout at a little bear and that I should have been more specific in my instructions to Paddington about the weight I needed for him to procure and “bring home the bacon.” After all, English isn’t Paddington’s first, or even second, language (Bear language, Spanish, and finally English). This embarrassment of bacon riches was totally and absolutely my fault for not being clear in Paddington’s third language.
When it comes to extremely thick sliced, hickory-smoked American bacon, I won’t be approaching the Board of Governors in the East End of London and saying, “Please Sir, may I have more?” Like Oliver Twist at the workhouse.
I did however, tell Paddington that he was going to have to prep the bacon for cooking. Pooh Bear, of the Hundred Acre Woods said, “Sir, Christoper Robin told me that once a package of bacon is opened it must be cooked and consumed within a couple of days.” Pooh, a bear of little brain, was correct. Cooked bacon is only really good for up to three days of being stored in the refrigerator.
Now, like any sane person who can cook and understands the physics of bacon, I only cook bacon in the oven unless there are zombies coming to get me and I have to use a pan in an emergency.
“Please prep the bacon for the oven.” I told Alamo Basement Texas Aggie Ring, Paddington Bear of Darkest Peru, Little Texas Aggie Trumpet Case Bear, and Pooh Bear of the Hundred Acre Woods. “I need a drink.”
About half an hour later, I returned to see what the three-bear “Brain Trust” had done. They had taken two 1/2 sheet cake pans, lined them with Al-LU-Minimum foil, and placed strips of the bacon on baking racks within the two pans.
They had taken one tray, covered the hickory-smoked, extra thick sliced bacon with Mexican three-cheese blend. Then they placed sliced, pickled jalapeños on each slice. “Excellent!” I told the three little bears. This is what the defenders of the Alamo ate every morning before they went out to play golf and tennis every day.
The second 1/2 sheet cake pan surprised even myself. The “Three Little Bears” had taken shredded white cheese, spread it around all that delicious bacon, and placed two pineapple wedges upon each slice. “That’s odd…” I thought to myself. “I’d normally only do that with Spam™.”
I placed the two trays of all of that bacon into the oven and poured myself a drink. When it was ready, I removed the trays from the oven and showed them to the bears. I really must say, both variants of the bacon turned out quite well. The white cheese pineapple roasted bacon was incredible and probably my favourite.
Now… This is my dilemma. I pulled one slice of the delicious bacon out during baking it to make sure it was time to pull. I also saved three slices of each for my own, personal consumption. I wasn’t born yesterday, so I know that this pile of delicious bacon must not remain in my home! I’d just eat it all.
Unlike all the beef jerky I make, I shan’t give any free bacon away. Can you, my dearest readers, imagine someone (even someone you knew) coming up to you and giving you bacon? NO!!! That’s the sign of a serial killer or a lunatic. People don’t want delicious craft, roasted bacon. Never, ever, ever…
My town picks up my dustbin tomorrow, so I could throw it all away. However that would be wasting delicious bacon. We have had an explosion of the possum population where I reside this year. The majestic possum will eat anything. Anything. I might start placing a few pieces upon the lawn each evening to feel the possums and save the planet.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., (Sept. 4, 2013)—Corizon, the nation’s leader in correctional healthcare solutions, announced that it has raised over $12,000 to support the Big Brothers Big Sisters Amachi Program through the first half of this year.
The Big Brothers Big Sisters Amachi Program was selected as one of Corizon’s corporate charities for 2013 and granted an initial corporate gift of $5,000. In addition to this gift, Corizon’s corporate and operations office employees in Nashville and St. Louis raised an additional $7,000+ for the program over the summer. Fundraisers included “Bowl for Kids,” the sale of casual days, cash donations, etc.
“The Amachi Program is a wonderful program that provides extra support to kids who need it the most,” said Cindy Schupp, Missouri Regional Director and Chairman of Corizon’s Company Culture Committee. “Our employees have really supported this effort that is so applicable to our industry, and have raised money through community events, office-wide initiatives and generous pocketbooks.”
The Amachi Program is a specialized Big Brothers Big Sisters initiative that provides additional support and guidance to children with an incarcerated parent. “Amachi”, a Nigerian word for hope, literally translates to “who knows but what God has brought us through this child.” The program strives to help children realize what they can achieve and support them with their goals.
Other charities Corizon employees are supporting in 2013 include: American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Animal Protective Association of Missouri, Nashville Rescue Mission, Children’s Hospital of St. Louis, Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, United Way and World Down Syndrome Day.
