These three fiberglass cows on City Hall Plaza are part of Boston's Cow Parade this summer. The one in front looks like it's sporting van Gogh's "Starry Night" painting (for more, click here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starry_Night). The one on the left carries the darkness of space and a fiery star on its midsection. The one on the right I call the "In Wheat Shall Be Your Profit" cow.
Last December I posted this shot -- www.flickr.com/photos/antydiluvian/79916877/ -- of one of the first of these cows to be displayed.
(Each cow has a nameplate on its base, as well as its artist's name. I was hurrying to North Station to catch my train and didn't have time to read them. Sorry.)
BEWARE of the vets at GROOVY VETS on Radio Dalam -- Drain is an 8 year old rescue, street cat who a little while ago, began to live in the newly constructed sewers provided by the city. He also looked really sick with very serious symptoms- dehydrated, sunken midsection, facial features pulled taut against his face, and inability to defecate. Looking at him was like looking at the walking dead. His mobility deteriorated and he wobbled when he walked, and was unable to jump well. But he was fiercely determined to live in his cement sewer despite us putting him in the house or the kennel. We brought him to the vet as we could see and smell his death was imminent given the fact he kept hiding in a dark hole in the ground and wasn't eating or moving much with his poor condition. The vet said there was nothing wrong with him (Huh???) and that he was quite young (huh??) . After seeing cats go downhill to this condition before expiring, we told him our concerns and said the nicest thing would be to put him to sleep. The vet said they would charge us for running a battery of tests for determining whether he was eligible for euthanasia (HUH???) which would be an extra $100, on top of the usual cost of $30 plus an emergency fee today of another $20... We thought this ridiculous and said we would not give in to this poor standard they were setting. It was evident (even in the pictures) he was on death's doorstep, but they turned us away, saying we should take him to a shelter. But we are one! We were exasperated, but locked Drain up best we could .Six days later we moved but Drain ran away, and after several returns back to the old place, we found him -- in his sewer home waiting for the end. He ate a lot, and we brought him home. but next day he died. Those vets could have given him a merciful quick release but instead fished around for more cash. Shame on them, and sorry to poor Drain who lost his express painless ride to heaven. May he rest in peace. Beware Groovy vetstore who do not like helping street cats.
Old Cathedral, Jesuit church, Ignatius church
Sacred buildings and ECCLESIASTICAL INSTITUTIONS
Artists: Herbert Bayer, Arthur Viehböck, Heinz Baumüller, Pietro Francesco Carlone
Location: Dom alley 3, Rathaus quarter
District: Linz Center
Date: 1669
The Jesuit church is a Baroque single-naved church with lateral chapels and galleries, straight-closed choir, two façade towers and ridge turrets above the choir. The interior is richly decorated with stucco.
The church is on the north and west side detached, the south side is hidden by the roadside attached houses, the eastern wall of the choir joins the built after 1909 new monastery.
The main facade consists of five floors, the bottom two are subdivided by a colossal Tuscan arrangement with cranked pilasters.
The main entrance is flanked by each one pilaster and two to the middle staggered Corinthian columns supporting a blasted segmented pediment; in these is a wall niche, crowned by a blasted triangular gable with shield-shaped ornament and monogram of Christ. Put in is a stone statue of Mary on the crescent moon with folded hands.
The double-winged gate is vertically divided into three fields, of which the lower two are covered with a diamond pattern, while the top one shows rich carving. The middle of the two lower fields forms a narrow, round-arched false gate.
The gable crest is determined by a midsection provided with segment gables. Beside the central window harbor niches the stone statues of St. Franz Xaver (left) and St. Francis of Borgia (right). On the pediment stands a colossal statue of St. Ignatius, in his right hand holding the monogram of Christ with wheel of fire of perforated metal, in the left hand an open book.
Instead of the previous onion helmets that burned down in 1800, the spiers were formed in the form of eight-sided curved pyramid stumps, whose construction according to the draft of Landesbaudirektion (Regional Building Management) began 1805, after an interruption by the war only 1813 by master carpenter Franz Scheitz and coppersmith Franz Mayer completed. The putting in of the Cross was carried out 1808.
History
1669 was solemnly laid the foundation stone for the church in the middle of the threshold of the main entrance. In the same year the southwards joining city wall together with kennel from the city was purchased. 1673 the roof level was reached and started with construction of the roof. 1674 the towers were built, which were completed a year later. 1676 the church was completed. It was - still without high altar - consecrated on September 4, 1678.
The designing architect of the church is unknown, but its relationship with the Collegiate Church of Garsten (Upper Austria) suggests Pietro Francesco Carlone as the author.
The church with October 15, 2009 was put under monument protection.

Alter Dom, Jesuitenkirche, Ignatiuskirche
Die Jesuitenkirche ist eine barocke einschiffige Kirche mit seitlichen Kapellen und Emporen, gerade geschlossenem Chor, zwei Fassadentürmen und Dachreiter über dem Chor. Das Innere ist reich mit Stuck ausgestattet.
Die Kirche ist an der Nord- und Westseite freistehend, die Südseite wird durch die straßenseitig angebauten Häuser verdeckt, die östliche Chorwand schließt an das nach 1909 erbaute neue Kloster an.
Die Hauptfassade besteht aus fünf Geschossen, die zwei unteren sind durch eine kolossale toskanische Ordnung mit verkröpften Wandpfeilern zusammengefasst.
Das Hauptportal wird von je einem Wandpfeiler und zwei zur Mitte gestaffelten korinthischen Säulen flankiert, die einen gesprengten Segmentgiebel tragen; in diesen ist eine Wandnische, von gesprengtem Dreieckgiebel mit schildförmigem Ornament und Monogramm Christi bekrönt. Eingestellt ist eine Steinstatue der Maria auf der Mondsichel mit gefalteten Händen.
Das zweiflügelige Tor ist senkrecht in drei Felder geteilt, von denen die beiden unteren mit einem Rautenmuster bedeckt sind, während das oberste reiches Schnitzwerk zeigt. Die Mitte der beiden unteren Felder bildet ein schmales, rundbogiges Scheintor.
Der Giebelaufsatz ist durch einen mit Segmentgiebeln versehenen Mittelteil bestimmt. Neben dem Mittelfenster beherbergen Nischen die Steinstatuen des hl. Franz Xaver (links) und des hl. Franz von Borgia (rechts). Auf dem Giebel steht eine Kolossalstatue des hl. Ignatius, der in der rechten Hand das Monogramm Christi mit Flammenrad aus durchbrochenem Metall, in der linken ein aufgeschlagenes Buch hält.
An Stelle der früheren Zwiebelhelme, die 1800 abbrannten, wurden die Turmhelme in Form von achtseitigen geschweiften Pyramidenstümpfen gebildet, deren Bau nach dem Entwurf der Landesbaudirektion 1805 begonnen wurde, nach einer Unterbrechung durch den Krieg erst 1813 von Zimmermeister Franz Scheitz und Kupferschmied Franz Mayer vollendet. Die Kreuzsteckung erfolgte 1808.
Geschichte
1669 wurde feierlich der Grundstein zur Kirche in der Mitte der Schwelle des Haupteingangs gelegt. Im selben Jahr wurde die südlich anschließende Stadtmauer samt Zwinger von der Stadt angekauft. 1673 wurde die Dachgleiche erreicht und mit dem Bau des Daches begonnen. 1674 wurden die Türme errichtet, die ein Jahr später vollendet wurden. 1676 war die Kirche vollendet. Sie wurde - noch ohne Hochaltar - am 4. September 1678 geweiht.
Der entwerfende Baumeister der Kirche ist unbekannt, doch lässt ihre Verwandtschaft mit der Stiftskirche von Garsten Pietro Francesco Carlone als Planverfasser vermuten.
Die Kirche wurde mit 15. Oktober 2009 unter Denkmalschutz gestellt.

Copper alloy hollow cast statue of the princess-priestess Takushit.
Lacking its base into which it was set by means of two attachments, which are rectangular in cross-section, placed on the soles of the feet.
The statue was found in 1880, in Lower Egypt, on the hill of Kom-Toruga, near Lake Mariut, south of Alexandria. Late Period, end of 25th Dynasty, ca. 670 BC. It had ritual, votive, and funerary functions.
The statue is depicted striding soundly with its two feet; the left foot is forward in a walking stance, indicative of movement and energy. The left arm is bent under the chest and most likely held a hieratic scepter. The right arm, extended closely against the body, held the menit (musical instrument and necklace). The scepter and the menit make clear her priestly status and her high social position and were the symbol par excellence of priests from the higher social classes. The long, diaphanous robe, which is decorated all over with incised patterns that were filled with precious metal wires (technique of damasking), accentuates the beautifully shaped, sensuous body. The decoration is divided into fine horizontal bands, which alternate with four thinner strips at the midsection, the pelvis, the thighs, and the knees. The first band, which covers the torso, is wider. The bands are decorated with representations of divinities from the Northeastern area of the Nile Delta (the homeland of Takushit), while the strips are filled with hieroglyphs that communicate prayers to the said divinities.
Her name means “the Ethiopian” and possibly refers to a family connection to or a marriage with an Ethiopian. According to the inscriptions that the statue bears, her father was Akan II, the Great Chief of the Libyan tribe Ma, and her office was of priestess “waab” (pure-chaste priestess), which according to the religious hierarchy was the lowest priestly title.
The use of the statue was ceremonial while the priestess was alive, and was part of the ritual equipment of the sanctuary, in which there was a priestess. After her death, it was used for votive and funerary ends and it decorated her tomb, which, according to the custom of the time, is located within the sanctuary precinct.
You have probably heard of the Grandfather Mountain "Mile High" Swinging Bridge. If you have ever been to Grandfather Mountain on a windy day however, then you may remember it as the Grandfather Mountain Singing Bridge. At this location the strong winds that often blow across North Carolinas most famous mountain can become funneled into the gap between the two ridges that support the bridge and accelerate into even stronger gusts across the center of the bridge causing the cables to vibrate and transform that vibration to the structure of the bridge producing a haunting sound that can be heard a mile away at Beacon Heights just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Today when I photographed this image the bridge was in fine tune as the chilly 45 MPH breeze whipped across the midsection of the bridge. On my way back across I met a couple sitting on a bench at the end of the bridge who were considering whether they should cross the bridge today or not. The bridge itself certainly looks sturdy enough however, the annemometer which is mounted to one of the bridge towers had all three of it's cups blown off. Copyright 2011 R.

The Musical Crossroads exhibit, part of the Culture Galleries on the fourth floor of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, tells the story of African American music from the arrival of the first Africans to the present day.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, was established in December 2003 and opened its permanent home in September 2016. The 350,000-square-foot, 10-story (five above and five below ground) was built to the postmodern design of Phil Freelon's Freelon Group, Sir David Adjaye's Adjaye Associates and Davis Brody Bond. The above ground floors feature an inverted step pyramid surrounded by a bronze architectural scrim, which reflects a crown used in Yoruba culture. With more than 40,000 objects in its collection, although only about 3,500 items are on display, the NMAAHC is the world's largest museum dedicated to African-American history and culture.
The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.
The Sheep Range is located north of Las Vegas, Nevada in the United States. It is found in both Clark and Lincoln Counties in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge. The mountains reach a peak at Hayford Peak, 9,912 feet (3,021 m) above sea level between the Las Vegas Range to the east and the Desert Range to the west. The Sheep Range lies in a generally north-south direction.
The Great Basin Divide, starts an east-west transect at the northeast of the Spring Mountains, with the east-west transect border south being all of the Las Vegas Valley, and a midsection, north perimeter of the watershed for the Las Vegas Wash. The Great Basin Divide transect goes through the south region of the Sheep Range, and the transect ends eastwards at the Utah border, the Clover and Bull Valley Mountains.

Chuckwallas are large lizards found primarily in arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
They are a stocky wide-bodied lizard with a flattened midsection and prominent belly, and can grow up to 35 inches in length! This little chappy was around two feet long, so maybe a middle aged Chucky!

You will probably have more trouble losing fat from your stomach than from other areas of your body. If you eat a healthy diet and have trouble losing stomach fat, engage in a number of good exercises that can help you concentrate on eliminating this fat and giving you a more flattened abdominal region. These exercises concentrate on burning heavy calories and strengthening the core---the abdominal, oblique and lower back muscles.Cardio workoutsBurn calories to shed excess fat from your abdominal region by doing considerable amounts of cardio workouts. Such activities as long-distance running or biking will burn enough calories while promoting a healthy body. Because running and biking need you to use your core to stabilize yourself, performing these cardiovascular exercises will also give you a core workout---a great way to build muscle in the region in which you need it most.Core ExercisesSit-ups or crunches offer a great way to work your abdominal region. However, recent advancement in core training have made for additional effective workouts. Use muscle confusion to ensure your muscles don't develop bad muscle memory and even out, making your workouts ineffective: Practice a number of workouts to confuse parts of your muscles, keep them guessing and force them to work tougher for you.Try hanging leg raises or scissors, which focus on helping the strength of the abdominals. To complete hanging leg raises, keep a pull-up bar, letting your body dangle. Straighten your legs and raise them up to parallel towards the floor so that your body creates an "L" shape at the hips. Slowly bring your legs back down to make certain you aren't swinging. Complete three sets of 10 repetitions, keeping your core tight the whole time. If you find this exercise too hard, try bending the knees so that only your lower legs lie perpendicular to the floor.To complete a scissor exercise, lie flat in your back so your legs extend out in front individuals. Keeping your legs as straight as you possibly can, lift one leg into the air until perpendicular to the floor. Hold the other leg parallel towards the floor and merely about an inch or so off the ground. Keep the hands at the sides as well as your head on the ground. Hold one leg in the air for about two seconds, then switch legs, bringing your opposite leg into the air and also the other only an inch or so off the floor. Do three teams of about 20 repetitions per set, counting every time you switch your legs.Incorporate these core exercises into your regular workout routine. Since you use your core in only about every weight-lifting exercise, still work other parts in your body too. But to increase weight loss inside your belly, boost the quantity of exercises in your regimen that concentrate on your midsection.Now, lets talk about Fat Loss Bible from Anthony Colpo and how it might assist you. I hope this short Fat Loss Bible Review will assist you to differentiate whether Fat Loss Bible is Scam or perhaps a Genuine.Japan 2 Day Diet

The from 1928 to 1930 according to a design of Hugo Mayer, Rudolf Frass, Viktor Frass, Karl Hauschka, Heinrich Schopper, Alfred Chalusch and Johann Rothmüller built residential building of the City of Vienna comprises 727 apartments and numerous civic amenities and shops, and was named after the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832).
The relatively low and for a complex of this size little pompous midsection is far moved back and forms a kind of atrium. Above the entrance there are three sculptures, two male musicians and a female dancer. Behind opens the large, partly grassed, partly serving as parking main courtyard, which stylistically rather unobstrusively and soberly was designed (with loggias and shallow bays). At its northern edge two pylon-like residential towers with crosswise running balconies and central, vertically glazed stairwells mark the exit to the "Emperor water".
In the West, adjacent to the complex, there is a park-like courtyard with a large detached nursery school building; interesting is the to the kindergarten opposite semicircular block. In the eastern side yard additionally a long block of flats was placed transversely in the yard. The somewhat strange juxtaposition of expressive and matter-of-fact cubic style elements here particularly sticks out. Outside of this large side wing lies the library. The on the corner attached sundial with ceramic zodiac signs comes from Alfred Chalusch and the sculptor Oskar Thiede.
The Goethehof was in February 1934 especially hard-fought.
On 14 February, the army at the right bank of the Danube, just below the Empire bridge, brought howitzers and guns in position, which in the afternoon opened the fire. The "Café Goethehof" was set on fire, after darkness fell also the old ice factory, located behind the Goethehof at the "Emperor water". During the night, the members of the Republican Defense League the hopeless struggle gave up.
In memory of those events, a commemorative plaque designed by Franz Pixner in 1984 was attached.
Die in den Jahren 1928 bis 1930 nach Plänen von Hugo Mayer, Rudolf Frass, Viktor Mittag, Karl Hauschka, Heinrich Schopper, Alfred Chalusch und Johann Rothmüller errichtete Wohnhausanlage der Gemeinde Wien umfasst 727 Wohnungen sowie zahlreiche Folgeeinrichtungen und Geschäftslokale, und wurde nach dem deutschen Dichter Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) benannt.
Der relativ niedrige und für eine Anlage dieser Größe wenig pompöse Mittelteil ist weit zurückversetzt und bildet eine Art Vorhof. Über der Einfahrt befinden sich drei Plastiken, zwei Musiker und eine Tänzerin. Dahinter öffnet sich der große, teils begrünte, teils als Parkplatz dienende Haupthof, der stilistisch eher zurückhaltend und sachlich (mit Loggien und flachen Erkern) konzipiert wurde. An seinem Nordrand markieren zwei pylonartige Wohntürme mit übereck laufenden Balkonen und zentralen, vertikal verglasten Stiegenhäusern den Ausgang zum "Kaiserwasser".
Im Westen schließt sich ein parkartiger Hof mit einem großen, freistehenden Kindergartengebäude an; interessant ist der dem Kindergarten gegenüberliegende halbrunde Block. Im östlichen Seitenhof wurde zusätzlich ein langer Wohnblock quer in den Hof gestellt. Das etwas merkwürdige Nebeneinander von expressiven
und sachlich-kubischen Stilelementen fällt hier besonders stark auf. Außerhalb dieses Seitentraktes liegt die große Bibliothek. Die an der Ecke angebrachte Sonnenuhr mit keramischen Tierkreiszeichen stammt von Alfred Chalusch und dem Bildhauer Oskar Thiede.
Der Goethehof war im Februar 1934 besonders hart umkämpft.
Am 14. Februar brachte das Bundesheer am rechten Donauufer, etwas unterhalb der Reichsbrücke, Feldhaubitzen und Kanonen in Stellung, die am Nachmittag das Feuer eröffneten. Das "Café Goethehof" wurde in Brand geschossen, nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit auch das alte Eiswerk, das hinter dem Goethehof am "Kaiserwasser" lag. Im Laufe der Nacht gaben die Schutzbündler den aussichtslosen Kampf auf.
Zur Erinnerung an diese Ereignisse wurde 1984 eine von Franz Pixner gestaltete Gedenktafel angebracht.
I Can See Clearly Now
September 29, 2009
by Yadira Galindo
At eight weeks old, our not-so-little panda cub now has both eyes open. According to our veterinary resident, Amanda White, DVM, his eyesight isn’t acute enough to see us plainly, but during today’s checkup I could see clearly that pandas rule.
When keeper Kathy Hawk walked in cradling the cub in his blue blankie, I couldn’t help but be all smiles. I’ve been at each of the previous four exams helping to document his progress for you to see and for our own work, of course! Each week he looks different – usually a little rounder – which makes me grin from ear to ear. The cub mesmerizes me, and, like today, I sometimes forget I should be writing down important data like his weight. He was a whopping 6.4 pounds (2.9 kilograms) today, which is an increase of less than one pound from last week, but it shows around his midsection, his face, his paws…really, it shows everywhere. He measured 19.68 inches (50 centimeters) long, but it’s his overall girth that seems to make him look gigantic compared to the previous veterinary exam. Maybe it’s all fur. Yeah, that’s what we’ll blame it on!
Today it was his eyes that kept catching my attention. Those sleepy, dark little eyes that looked at you but had a soft gaze. Amanda says he can see, as evidenced by his squinting at her light. Still, it will take a little more time for his eyesight to make out shapes and track movement. All I know is I couldn’t take my eyes off him, especially the two or three times he yawned, opening his mouth so wide I could almost see down his throat. No sign of teeth yet, just the pink gum line.
For the first couple of minutes he seemed sleepy, barely keeping those precious eyes open, and was yawning. He waved a little paw here and there as he was flipped around for a look at his underside or a paw. Halfway through the exam he seemed to have a lot more to say and began to grunt and make a few soft objections. The Panda Team tried to comfort him by massaging his back (they were really trying to feel his backbone, but he’s so robust, it’s almost like he doesn’t have one!). This usually relaxes him but not this day. He kept on protesting. Taking a cue from him, the team speeded up their exam. I looked up at a monitor to see what mom, Bai Yun, was doing, and she kept glancing at the den door. She was obviously hearing his little complaints but I think the bamboo was extra fresh and she kept eating, that is until the little guy felt the prick of his first vaccination and let out a big yelp.
I don’t know about everyone else in the room, but I held my breath and immediately looked over to see that Bai Yun had made her way to the den door, wanting to get in and check on the cub. It was the first of a series of vaccines and he’s quite fine. But when a panda says, “I’m done,” well, the exam is immediately concluded so that Bai Yun could comfort her little fellow. Clearly it’s the pandas that run these checkups. We’re just along for the ride.

Heroes of Fur and Feather – Challenge 2: Monster Mayhem
With her fossil safely tucked away, Duski makes her way out of the winding passageways of the Dungeon, and returns to the crossing to see everything in dissarray, with menacing beasts emerging from every corner.
A giant serpent lunges from the underbrush, intent on devouring a hamster-folk, and Duski flaps into action! She flies right past the serpent's snout to draw it's attention. With a maw full of razor-sharp teeth on her tail, Duski Eaves dips and weaves in a winding flight path. Just the serpent's jaws are about to close around her midsection, it is stopped short - by following Duski, it has fallen into her trap, and tied itself in a knot!
"At the tenth floor round arches articulate the five center bays from which garlanded half-caryatids function as brackets supporting the heavy denticulated and modillioned cornice which terminates the midsection" [of the building]. From the 1984 NYCLPC Landmark Designation Report, quoted by Emilio Guerra
A large 13th Century gothic castle, first mentioned in 1350, which was destroyed in Bohemian-Hungarian wars in the 15th Century. It was a quite large castle complex with triple configuration - a large and long bailey, three main trechnes, a midsection and a separate core. The disposition is still well visible, a path follows the first trench around the bailey, through the second and third trench up to the core. Two drawbridges isolated the core, which was otherwise surrounded by inaccessible steep rocks. It´s well walkable and very popular by tourists.
The central idea of my final series is abstracted and unusual bodies. I want to normalize the differences in all of us. Taking photos of scars, piercings, freckles, hands in weird positions, the body in fluid motions, and things of that nature spoke to me because I have always been somewhat of a preacher of body confidence. The world has become a mean place as of late, and I wanted to try and bring some positivity and love back. I’ve always tried to be a positive person, and in doing this series, I wanted to show that no matter who you are or what you look like, you are by definition beautiful and unique.
The photos in my final series demonstrate the exploration of my concept because they all portray traditionally less beautiful, less often noticed parts of the human body. I wanted to photograph body parts that aren’t photographed as often, and I wanted to explore new angles and ideas.
The photo of the eye uses contrast and emphasis, as well as a unique angle to get a new perspective on the face.
The photo of the face with paint uses contrast in color and texture, and some unity with the color of the paint and the color of the hair. It warps the face, causing unique highlights and shadows.
The photo of the waist uses contrast in value and form to make the photo of an otherwise boring midsection a little bit different and unusual.
The photo of the shoulder uses extreme contrasts in value and light to highlight parts of the face that are typically not focused on. The body is in a weird, contorted position and uses light contrast and unity to highlight the way the body moves.
The photo of the silhouette uses light to weirdly shape the face and make it slightly unusual and unique. In all of the photos, I used light to emphasize the weirdness of the body and the way it can move. My main goal in the series was to draw more attention to and normalize the complexity and overall uniqueness of the body. Every person has a different body, that moves in different ways, and every body is insanely and unimaginably complex.

The M/V "John D Leitch " backs into the Thunder Bay Terminals loading facilities at the mouth of the Kam River . She does this almost every time and she starts a couple miles out in the outer harbour . Thank Goodness she doesn't have one of those loud back up Beep Beepers.
The landing boom launching 3 sailers over the side to tie her up at Thunder Bay Terminals Dock for a load of Met Coal.
This unique Great Lakes self-unloading bulk carrier was built by Port Weller Dry Docks, St. Catharines, Ont., as Hull #41. She was christened Canadian Century for Upper Lakes Group, Inc., Toronto, Ont., on April 15, 1967 by Mrs. G. E. Gathercole, wife of the Chairman of the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario. The name paid tribute to the 100th anniversary of Canada’s confederation.
At the time of her launch, the vessel was the largest capacity self-unloading vessel on the Great Lakes. Her squared hull design reduced wasted space thus increasing her tonnage, however her very tall wheelhouse and forward accommodation block gave her the distinction of being known as the “little bank building that floats.”
The Canadian Century’s original self-unloading system consisted of a single, center line conveyor belt gravity system with a 300-ton reclaimer feeding a bucket/hopper elevator system leading to a forward-mounted 250 foot discharge boom. The reclaimer consisted of 2 auger screws, each 26 feet long and 7 feet high. As they would turn, the cargo would be forced forward to the bucket elevator system. It could discharge at a rate of up to 4,000 tons per hour. Due to the technological advances in self-unloading systems, the Canadian Century’s bucket elevator system was replaced in 1975/76 with a modern loop belt elevator system capable of discharging cargo at a rate of up to 4,572 tons per hour. The discharge boom can be swung 95 degrees to port or starboard.
The vessel is powered by a Burmeister & Wain type 574 VT2F 160 diesel engine rated at 7,394 b.h.p. at 115 r.p.m. burning intermediate grade 180 fuel driving a controllable pitch propeller, giving the vessel a service speed of 14.5 knots. She is equipped with a 1,000 horsepower bowthruster. Her enormous single hold is fed by 22 hatches. She can carry 25,700 tons at maximum Seaway draft of 26 feet and is capable of carrying 31,600 tons at her maximum mid-summer draft of 29 feet 4 inches. Other capacities include 465 tons of fuel oil, 75 tons of diesel oil, 186 tons of potable water, and 17,348 tons of water ballast.
In December 2001, Canadian Century entered Port Weller Dry Docks for a mid-life refit. The $25-million (C) refit was similar to the work that the shipyard completed on Canada Steamship Lines’ CSL Tadoussac the winter before. The bow and stern sections remained intact, along with most of the main deck. The cargo hold and the rest of the midsection were replaced with a new, larger cargo hold and a one-belt self-unloading system with a flat tank top. When it returned to service in May of 2002, it not only carried more cargo, but could operate more efficiently through the increased use of technology.
The Century was built specifically to accommodate Upper Lakes Group’s first contract to carry coal for Ontario Hydro. During her first season of operation, she made 63 trips delivering coal totaling 1.7 million tons. On Dec. 8, 1967, she set a Welland Canal coal record by carrying 28,283 tons from Conneaut, Ohio, to Dofasco at Hamilton, Ont. June 18, 1969 saw the Canadian Century load a Conneaut, Ohio, record of 31,081 tons of coal for Ontario Hydro’s Lambton Generating Station at Courtright, Ont. In her early years, she would sail to Sept Isles, Que., to rendezvous with her former fleet mate Ontario Power to transfer coal loaded aboard the latter vessel at Sydney, Nova Scotia, for delivery to Nanticoke, Ont. The Canadian Century carried her first load of taconite ore pellets in 1986 when she loaded 25,427 tons at Pointe Noire, Que., for Hamilton, Ont. The vessel has carried cargoes of salt from ports such as Goderich, Ont., and Fairport, Ohio. She has also carried the odd cargo of grain products.
In her later years, the Canadian Century sailed under the management of Seaway Marine Transport, St. Catharines, Ont., a partnership of Algoma Central and Upper Lakes Group.
On March 23, 2001, the vessel was honored in the traditional Top Hat ceremony recognizing the passing of the first upbound vessel through the Welland Canal for the 2001 navigation season.
In 2002, the vessel was renamed John D. Leitch, honoring the chairman of the Upper Lakes Group. On February 25, 2011, a formal statement was issued announcing the sale of the privately owned Upper Lakes fleet and their associated interest in Seaway Marine Transport to the Algoma Central Corporation. On April 15, 2011, Algoma announced that the John D. Leitch would retain her name.

This year we saw a lot of models with URL's written across their body (usually just above their midsection). I guess this is a clever, new marketing strategy to get your website advertised on the internet.
Base of my spine and pelvis midsection. The x-ray was of the wrong area so I got to keep it. It should have been of my left kidney
I am woefully behind on the Lady Grey pattern, just getting to the tissue fitting now. I know I need some adjustments to bring everything up to size, before I start on a fabric muslin. So here is my first attempt at the tissue fit.
I already (after these photos) did a 1/2 inch high round back adjustment because it is a usual change for me.
I also added a 1/2 inch broad back adjustment, which should bring the center back to my upper center back.
My question now is how to accommodate for my wide waist. I am a definite apple shape with a very round/full midsection. I will need to add to the waist at the front and the back. So, my instinct was to add to the waist by slashing up the grain line near the side seam on the Piece C (side back), then swinging the dart out to give an extra inch or so at the waist, which would give me more width around the belly.
When I try this adjustment, two worrisome things happen.
1) Rotating for a 1 inch addition at the waist gives me an additional 4 inches of width at the hips, where I don't need more width. Can I spread open the side seam, then move the remaining side back to its original position by slicing into the side pattern at teh waist and spreading the pattern back to its original angle below the waist (basically matching the side back along the grain line)? I could then adjust the hem curve to take up the added length the comes with spreading horizontally at the side seam? ( I hope that makes sense, I can post some images if it does not.)
2) Or, if I let the vertical slash open without the above change, I encounter a problem where the side seam compresses up near the armpit as I spread, as though the pattern wants a small 1/4-1/2 inch tuck/dart taken out, because the swing of the rotation is compressing the side seam line. This however will shorten the side seam by a bit. Will this be added back when I true the hemline? Or will I need to ease the longer front side to the now shorter back side?
In summary, perhaps this is a better question. Did any of you have wide waist/apple proportion issues when fitting, and what guidance can you give?
Fallen in the struggle for freedom and democracy. In memory of the defenders of the Goethe court.
Gefallen im Kampf für Freiheit und Demokratie. Den Verteidigern des Goethehofes zum Gedächtnis.
The from 1928 to 1930 according to a design of Hugo Mayer, Rudolf Frass, Viktor Frass, Karl Hauschka, Heinrich Schopper, Alfred Chalusch and Johann Rothmüller built residential building of the City of Vienna comprises 727 apartments and numerous civic amenities and shops, and was named after the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832).
The relatively low and for a complex of this size little pompous midsection is far moved back and forms a kind of atrium. Above the entrance there are three sculptures, two male musicians and a female dancer. Behind opens the large, partly grassed, partly serving as parking main courtyard, which stylistically rather unobstrusively and soberly was designed (with loggias and shallow bays). At its northern edge two pylon-like residential towers with crosswise running balconies and central, vertically glazed stairwells mark the exit to the "Emperor water".

In the West, adjacent to the complex, there is a park-like courtyard with a large detached nursery school building; interesting is the to the kindergarten opposite semicircular block. In the eastern side yard additionally a long block of flats was placed transversely in the yard. The somewhat strange juxtaposition of expressive and matter-of-fact cubic style elements here particularly sticks out. Outside of this large side wing lies the library. The on the corner attached sundial with ceramic zodiac signs comes from Alfred Chalusch and the sculptor Oskar Thiede.

The Goethehof was in February 1934 especially hard-fought.
On 14 February, the army at the right bank of the Danube, just below the Empire bridge, brought howitzers and guns in position, which in the afternoon opened the fire. The "Café Goethehof" was set on fire, after darkness fell also the old ice factory, located behind the Goethehof at the "Emperor water". During the night, the members of the Republican Defense League the hopeless struggle gave up.
In memory of those events, a commemorative plaque designed by Franz Pixner in 1984 was attached.
Die in den Jahren 1928 bis 1930 nach Plänen von Hugo Mayer, Rudolf Frass, Viktor Mittag, Karl Hauschka, Heinrich Schopper, Alfred Chalusch und Johann Rothmüller errichtete Wohnhausanlage der Gemeinde Wien umfasst 727 Wohnungen sowie zahlreiche Folgeeinrichtungen und Geschäftslokale, und wurde nach dem deutschen Dichter Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) benannt.
Der relativ niedrige und für eine Anlage dieser Größe wenig pompöse Mittelteil ist weit zurückversetzt und bildet eine Art Vorhof. Über der Einfahrt befinden sich drei Plastiken, zwei Musiker und eine Tänzerin. Dahinter öffnet sich der große, teils begrünte, teils als Parkplatz dienende Haupthof, der stilistisch eher zurückhaltend und sachlich (mit Loggien und flachen Erkern) konzipiert wurde. An seinem Nordrand markieren zwei pylonartige Wohntürme mit übereck laufenden Balkonen und zentralen, vertikal verglasten Stiegenhäusern den Ausgang zum "Kaiserwasser".

Im Westen schließt sich ein parkartiger Hof mit einem großen, freistehenden Kindergartengebäude an; interessant ist der dem Kindergarten gegenüberliegende halbrunde Block. Im östlichen Seitenhof wurde zusätzlich ein langer Wohnblock quer in den Hof gestellt. Das etwas merkwürdige Nebeneinander von expressiven
und sachlich-kubischen Stilelementen fällt hier besonders stark auf. Außerhalb dieses Seitentraktes liegt die große Bibliothek. Die an der Ecke angebrachte Sonnenuhr mit keramischen Tierkreiszeichen stammt von Alfred Chalusch und dem Bildhauer Oskar Thiede.

Der Goethehof war im Februar 1934 besonders hart umkämpft.
Am 14. Februar brachte das Bundesheer am rechten Donauufer, etwas unterhalb der Reichsbrücke, Feldhaubitzen und Kanonen in Stellung, die am Nachmittag das Feuer eröffneten. Das "Café Goethehof" wurde in Brand geschossen, nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit auch das alte Eiswerk, das hinter dem Goethehof am "Kaiserwasser" lag. Im Laufe der Nacht gaben die Schutzbündler den aussichtslosen Kampf auf.
Zur Erinnerung an diese Ereignisse wurde 1984 eine von Franz Pixner gestaltete Gedenktafel angebracht.
