We are becoming a city of robots, this is where they will all work and live.
In the foreground is ground zero.
The construction hole excavated at this location is called the east bathtub. when the original world trade center was built, it was built on landfill that filled in the original shoreline of the hudson river. the problem the engineers faced then was how to keep the hudson river from seeping into the construction site. the solution they came up with was a 3-feet thick concrete retaining wall called "the bathtub".
www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wtc/innovation.html
...so as the original world trade center builders began building and excavating the site. all that dirt they trucked away, they simply dumped it nearby creating a new piece of land called battery park city.
the bathtub is divided into two sections, the west bathtub is where the freedom tower and the memorial will be located, the east bathtub is where the other buildings will be built.

the building on the left is 3 world financial center. behind that building is 4 world financial center.
the building center left, under construction, is the goldman sachs tower at 30 hudson st.
the building center right is the ny telephone building, barclay-vesey building, or the verizon building at 140 west st. it still serves as a telephone exchange for lower manhattan.
the building to the right is the new 7 world trade center.

Ok. There are a few variations on this one...some romantic, some majestic, some sacred, some angry...I've chosen to be inclusive, with the belief that God's relationship is available to each of us, regardless of whom we love. Jesus commanded, "love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself". I recently heard a priest say, "once we are a part of God's royal family, there is a certain dignity that comes with that." I am going to agree, although I acknowledge falling short, sometimes (I guess more realistically, every day I fall short). I'm referring to the offensive language in some of the postings. My take on language is that we agree not to use certain words to maintain dignity. When we fall short, it is a warning, something like "I was so angry, I had to break this rule". Although we may regret it, and certainly might have opted for more loving and forgiving ways of expression, I acknowledge the expression of anger, and pray that it does not escalate into more damaging rules being broken.
A beautiful more traditional version
An alternative very poetic - I do
Update 4/24: Both Duke and Peaches are altered. Duke is now on the east coast - enjoying walks in the forest, socializing in the pedestrian area of the city, and going to the dog park. I left Peaches temporarily in Texas because of the fight where she challenged Honey's rank - or Honey decided to assert hers - I'm not really sure what happened (although neither Peaches nor Honey was hurt), and my hand (hurt breaking up the fight, but almost 100% now) and space (5 dogs in a car was already crowded - we didn't need the extra stress). She is outside right now in a fenced backyard with 3 other dogs. I would like to see Duke and Peaches adopted together. Duke has 1 major issue that I see - he is an escape artist. I recently went to jail for 3 weeks (obstruction of justice charge), and the dogs were impounded during this time. Duke managed to escape from the pound no less than 3 times! (Aside: please consider adopting a puppy from the McMinn Animal shelter where he was held - www.mrhumane.org/. They are absolutely packed, and they returned my animals to me without question or large fee after 3 weeks. What an awesome public service!) He needs a home where if he escapes, it will not be the end of the world. If it is a good home and he is not kidnapped, he will come back in an hour or so. He is very wary of cars, Both Peaches and Duke enjoy hunting (armadillo, possum, etc.), so they really need to be watched when they are out, and should probably not be placed in a home with cats. Peaches needs a home with no other rank-challengeable females. Duke and Peaches do really well with Pete and Macey. Duke would also be fine as an only dog. Both Duke and Peaches (probably) need to be treated for heartworm, although they are currently on ivermectin to prevent the heartworm from getting worse, or being infective to the community through mosquitos:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18433753?ordinalpos=3&ito...
Duke is truly an awesome dog, and deserves an indoor life where he is spoiled. He had a rough start in life... Peaches is also a sweetie, and pretty much just wants to hang out with Duke on the bed. Hmmm, newlyweds - will they ever get over it?
Update 5/7/09: Duke is fine around the dogs in his pack. He also does fine around other dogs that he doesn't know, if he doesn't get too excited. He is controllable, though, but should be restrained when he starts to get excited, because he can lose his focus on the handler at that point. Duke really shows excellent behavior around people in pedestrian areas. I think that with a little bit of work on his shyness, he could pass the canine good citizenship test: www.akc.org/events/cgc/training_testing.cfm .
Update 5/12/09: Duke has a lesion on the cornea of his blind eye
Update 5/14: Duke has developed what is probably kennel cough (bordatella bronchiseptica) and is coughing up yellow phlegm. I am trying to treat it with with penicillin G (a narrow spectrum penicillin). A study reports decent sensitivity to ampicillin (a penicillin derivitive that is more broad spectrum than Pen G because of the amino group on the penicillin derivative), and excellent sensitivity to amoxicillin/clavulinate (a broad spectrum peniciilin derivative that has a hydroxy group para on the benzyl ring compared with ampicillin) so we will see if Pen G works. Bordetella bronchiseptica is a small gram-negative coccobacillus, so penicillin (usually active against gram-positive organisms) may not be the ideal, although available, choice. But the infection is likely to have both gram negative and gram positive components, and the important thing is to get the number of organisms (if they are in fact bacterial) down to a level where his immune system can take over and clear the rest.
Update 5/15: Duke's cough has turned into a dry cough, and is much more sporadic. We camped out last night, and some water got into the tent, so it was not terribly comfortable for him, but the sleeping bag was dry, and I opened it up for him to lie on, and he slept. He is a little more sensitive than Petey to the presence of wildlife (3 or 4 little growls last night), but tolerated voices without barking. Today, he is mostly resting.
Update 5/16: Duke is really not coughing much anymore at all, although still on the pen G 1X per day. We camped out again last night - more water in the tent. Good tolerance to a barking dog nearby, but a 1 hour growling episode at about 3 am. I think he is uncomfortable being "trapped" inside a tent, not knowing what the wildlife is outside. We will move back into the car.
Update 5/17: Duke's temperature measured 101.1, and his respiration rate is 14/min.
Update 5/20: Duke really enjoys playing fetch with Petey. The cough has largely resolved. He went for an extended walk at Eagle Rock Reservation in NJ... Glad to be reunited!

Update 6/17: Since the last update, Duke has been to the vet for a routine rabies booster. At this point, the vet detected swollen lymph glands in the popliteal as well as other regions, and wanted them biopsied ASAP. Bloodwork (6/4) was for the most part normal with an elevated white lymphocyte count, and also elevated globulin ratio (this would be consistent with antibodies being secreted from a lot of B-cells). So the question is whether he is mounting a general immune response (more than one lymph node is swollen), or has a B-cell lymphoma that has metastasized. The best way to distinguish might be to look at the specificity of the antibodies that he is producing: if it is a monoclonal response, it is likely to be a lymphoma (although proliferating B-cells that are cancerous may not even be activated (produce antibodies)); if it is polyclonal, this would be more consistent with an immune response. The fact that some of his eosinophils were also elevated suggests that it might be an immune response.
I had to go to trial in Virginia, so he and Petey were placed in boarding while being listed with www.luckydoganimalrescue.org:
then at:
Pleasant Groomn Inn where he and Petey received a lot of love and play time, and I give credit to the owners for the attention they gave to me, although Petey and Duke being former "strays" are used to a lot more outdoors, trees, grass, etc. than they have at this facility. Still, the dogs clearly bonded with the owners.
Now, luckydog has decided that they like my dogs, but they don't like interacting with me (I don't take it personally, it takes 2 people not to get along, and it could also be their problem), so the dogs are no longer listed with them, and I have them in West Virginia in day boarding at a kennel (I walk them 3 times a day, off leash, and playing fetch, and they sleep with me at night.)
Duke has started doxycycline treatment today for heartworm.
As an aside, the dog wedding in the picture never really happened. Duke and Peaches were separated. Peaches is now in a very committed relationship with another handsome young dog "Roy", and Duke was caught running around with Karma, Still, many animals do form very intense partnership bonds. Check out Ring Dog Rescue.
Lucky Dogs are an iconic brand of hot dogs sold by New Orleans street vendors out of seven-foot-long steel pushcarts shaped like a giant wiener cradled in a bun. Well known to locals and tourists alike, Lucky Dogs have been a fast-food option in the French Quarter since the late 1940s.
The frankfurters are also celebrated for their connection to literary history: John Kennedy Toole used Lucky Dogs as his inspiration for Paradise Vendors, Inc., one of the employers of Ignatius J. Reilly in the novel A Confederacy of Dunces, published in 1980.

Spirit of Commerce
siris-collections.si.edu/search/redirect/?http://siris-ar...
by Carl August Heber
""Commerce is represented by the nude winged figure of Mercury wearing Greek sandals and a loin cloth. He raises a caduceus in his proper right hand. Below him on his proper right, is a seated female figure holding a basket of fruit. She leans against a globe which is located at Mercury's feet. Below Mercury on his proper left, is a kneeling male figure who holds a small bale of goods. Above the figures is a cartouche featuring a prow of a ship and an eagle with wings spread. Battle axes, lances draped with bunting, a lion's head and a helmet appear just above.""
