So my healing was moving along wonderfully. I was up and walking around with little to no pain. Everything was coming up Millhouse.

 

Not anymore. I was mowing my lawn today and slipped while trying to walk down a small grassy slope. My right foot shot out from underneath me and I couldn't get my left foot out of the way. I fell back and sat on my left foot, bending me knee back as far as a normal knee would go.

 

I don't have a normal knee.

 

My knee has not bent that far in nearly ten years. The pain was excruciating, the frustration was even worse. I don't think I did any permanent damage; I hope it is nothing more than ripping apart old scar tissue. I'll probably get it x-rayed tomorrow to be safe, but I'll also not be going to Michigan this weekend like we planned. Ten hours in a car would not be ideal.

 

Who knows? Maybe I'll show up for the Flickr meetup. But I'll be limping.

Just never stop learning. That would be the biggest setback possible.

Defending democracy on the heels of Supreme Court setbacks on affirmative action and LGBTQ rights this week, fed-up activists and advocates take part in a We The People March starting at Oak Lawn Library in Dallas, Texas on Sunday, July 2, 2023. The Dallas march was one of six regional marches held over Independence Day weekend in conjunction with the We The People National March in Ft Lauderdale, Florida, where over 2,400 people from more than 70 organizations nationwide were expected to gather for the national march to also speak out and fight for people of color, women, LGBTQ+ communities, Jewish people, social justice, gun control and more. We The People is a growing coalition of citizens, groups and community leaders working to protect democracy and speak out against the nearly thousand bills authoritarian lawmakers and legislatures are introducing across the country that threaten basic freedoms and rights.

John Hale, driver. This is a huge setback for a low budget team. Fortunately, the drag racing community help by donating hardware to get him back in the game. That's just another thing I love about drag racing. Fierce competition on track, compassion off track. Hats off to the men and women of the NHRA.

The former Christian Science Reading Room at 3325 J Street in Sacramento was completed in 1959. A financial services company occupies the building currently.

 

Don Birrell, the former director of Crocker Art Museum and design director of Nut Tree, directed the group to Albert Dreyfuss.

 

They couldn't buy reading tables to work with the way the client used the room, so Leonard Blackford designed all the furniture to fit into the space.

 

The building is on a small 4-' x 180' piece of property in an old residential area of East Sacramento, the building is dominated by three story and basement residences approximately fifty years old on adjoining lots. The lot to the east is vacant.

 

The building is intended to attract public attention, yet preserve a spiritual character. It was necessary to maintain a relatively low cost for the project, yet preserving a feeling of quality and a reading room which is as near perfect visually and acoustically as possible.

 

Since parking facilities in the area are limited, it was necessary to provide a parking at the rear of the building. There being no alley available, both access and egress from the parking area are on the street using the large elm indicated on the plot plan to separate in from out.

 

The rear entrance is to be used only by the librarian, caretakers, and flower committee and is therefore shielded from the parking area. All intending to use the reading room enter through the reception area.

 

A luminous ceiling consists of Honeylite (aluminum louvers made up of honeycombed shapes approximately 1/2" across made by expanding blocks of aluminum into rectangular shapes 12" x 24" suspended in panels with occasional colored glass to repeat colored glass pattern over the front entrance) and the lighting of 20 eight foot slimlines.

 

The walls of the reading room are walnut with the serpentine brick wall exposed.

 

A 26 foot setback from the sidewalk was required, the roof overhang being allowed to project eight feet into the setback area and the signage is allowed to project to the edge of the property line.

But recovered like a champ!

And Greedo shoots first in this version, a setback for Star Wars purists.

After having a few minor setbacks, I am *really* close right now... almost to the turtleneck.

Built in 1922-1924, this Romanesque Revival-style skyscraper was designed by Murgatroyd and Ogden along with Fugard and Knapp to serve as the Allerton Hotel, and was the first building in Chicago to feature setbacks, as mandated by the 1923 zoning law. The building stands 25 stories and 360 feet (110 meters) tall, and housed over 1000 rooms, many of which were apartment style, and meant to serve as long-term accommodation for tenants, with one of the most notable early tenants being Louis Skidmore, whom founded the architecture firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The building also contained amenities, including a library, sports facilities, and a solarium. The 23rd floor of the tower housed the Tip Top Tap Lounge from the 1940s until 1961, which is still advertised on the building’s north and south facades, and later became home to the Cloud Room in 1963, and has served as the Renaissance Ballroom since the 1990s. The building is clad in limestone at the base, which extends up to the sill line of the fourth floor windows, with roman arched bays, brick panels around the third floor windows, with gothic arches and trim at the first and second floor bays. Above the fourth floor sill line, the building is clad in red brick, with pilasters at the corners and between window bays between the fourth and eighteenth floors, with setbacks at the nineteenth floor, and chamfered corners at the corner towers above the nineteenth floor, arched windows at the 22nd and 23rd floors, balconies with machicolations at the 22nd floor, and hipped roofs, with the central tower rising an additional two stories above the corner towers, featuring signs mounted to the north and south facades, and an octagonal tower containing a chimney in the middle of the roof. The building was designated as a Chicago Landmark in 1998, and underwent a major renovation in 1998-1999 under the direction of Eckenhoff Saunders Architects, modernizing the hotel rooms and building systems, and restoring significant common areas within the building. The hotel reopened as the Allerton Crowne Plaza Hotel, remaining under the Crowne Plaza banner until after the building was sold in 2006, becoming The Allerton Hotel in 2007. The building underwent renovations around this time, and underwent more renovations after being sold in 2014, and is today known as the Warwick Allerton Hotel.

NEWARK, Del. (Sept. 27, 2008) - Coming off a disappointing setback a week earlier and with the memory of an upset lost to Albany two seasons ago still in their minds, Delaware made sure of the outcome this time. Backed by a defense that allowed just 150 total yards and a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown by Tyrone Grant, the No. 17 ranked Blue Hens dominated the second half and cruised to a 38-7 victory over Albany Saturday night. Kervin Michaud with the ball.

After changing the saddle to have more setback, saddle height was slightly raised as well as stem w/handlebars were lowered, altogether getting the bike nearer to an ideal fit.

 

Handlebars with a touring bend (to raise grip a bit) and GB Superhood brake levers are coming in the next step.

This palm tree has recovered from a devastating setback and resumed its upward growth.

Despite the Fan Fest with bounce houses and face painting on the Brooks Robinson Plaza, Big Boy Brass Band, York Symphony Orchestra, and fireworks that would take place post game, Monday afternoon's contest was a quiet one offensively for the York Revolution who mustered just two hits in a 3-1 defeat to the Lancaster Barnstormers in front of 5,769 fans at PeoplesBank Park. Aside from a ninth inning homer by JC Encarnacion to avoid a shutout, the biggest highlight offensively belonged to Carlos Franco who drew a walk in the bottom of the seventh to reach base in a 46th consecutive game, setting a Revs franchise record by doing so.

Wisconsin Gas Building (originally Milwaukee Gas Light Building) 626 East Wisconsin Ave. Day 12 Vacation 2016. The 250’, 20-story is an excellent example of the stepped or setback Art Deco tower. It was designed by Milwaukee architects Eschweiler & Eschweiler and completed in 1930 using differing materials on the exterior to graduate from dark to light. The two-story base in made of Morton Gneiss (Rainbow Granite). The quarry has been in operation for over eighty years. In the 1920s, it was purchased by the Rockville Granite Company, the present Cold Spring Granite Company. The pinkish buff stone used for trim and ornamentation at the setback levels is Mankato-Kasota Limestone, a Minnesota River valley limestone quarried north of Mankato, Minnesota. www4.uwm.edu/letsci/geosciences/trips_tours/urban_geo_new...

Ziggurat shaped recalls early Babylonian or Mayan designs. 20 story Aztec-like temple of the gas light industry following the Paris Arts-Decoratif Exposition in 1925. Day 12 Vacation 2016.

 

A 21’ weather beacon shaped as a natural gas flame was added to the top of the Wisconsin Gas Building in 1956. It indicates the weather forecast by its color and flicker. The flame was turned off in 1973 because of that year's energy crisis. It was turned on again in 1985. The flame stands 21 feet tall and weighs four tons. In 2013, the neon tube lighting system was replaced with an LED lighting system. The new LED system allows millions of colors and various other lighting schemes outside the traditional red-gold-blue system, including charity efforts and sports team colors.

The great fire of 1918 was a terrible setback to many businesses and homeowners in Raetihi. The loss of numerous mills slowed the timber industry but it continued successfully into the 1940′s.

 

As decades passed, it emerged that the ‘endless’ supply of strong native timber was running out. The choice to replant forests in fast-growing pine was there, but in the middle of the 20th century the ability to treat this new soft wood for outdoor building was not available. Raetihi felt the loss of the timber industry more as each year passed. Farming was an option for some but it would never be as high an employer as the forests once provided.

 

From the 1970s through to the 1990s, Raetihi fell into a state of depression similar to many rural New Zealand towns. While farming and forestry continue here, it is tourism that provides the next glimmer of hope for this historic town.
