Signage points the way to the new southbound platform at Wilson on CTA's North Side Main Line. The station, over a century old, is being completely rebuilt, and the first new section to reopen is the Track 1 side of the southbound platform. For now, southbound Red Line trains are using it, but will move to the other side of the platform once Track 2 is rebuilt. Here, a northbound Red Line train pulls into the original middle platform. To the left is the disused express platform, which once served North Shore Line trains to Milwaukee and intermediate points. When recontruction is finished, Wilson will once again have local and express service.

I took the time to only briefly glance over toward the southwest corner at the Horn Lake Goodman Rd. Schnucks Kroger and snap a picture, but it certainly looks like they have used the old salad bar as a temporary deli front counter (or something!). Things have changed so much on this end of the store, it's hard to tell for sure exactly what's going on. Unfortunately, along with the Schuncks decor disappearing, most of the Albertsons stuff looks to be headed for the dumpster as well. Here's this same general area just five weeks prior: flic.kr/p/fPnH9F

My office on a cold, very cold tuesday afternoon. The street below is Leiden's busiest shopping street: Haarlemmerstraat. Even though my office (a.k.a. bedroom) is not that well isolated with just one, thin layer of glass, I can hardly hear the people walking by below...
When schools closed due to the Ebola Crisis, Fatu Sesay wasn’t ready to put her children’s education on pause. After organizing and leading classes for her kids and several neighborhood children, Fatu leads a mathematics lesson from her own home. Despite multiple postponements of school’s reopening, student’s learning has continued thanks outdoor classrooms like Fatu’s. However, children should soon be able to return to school on February 16, when schools are scheduled to restart thanks to USAID support. Through providing schools across the country with education kits and critical training in infection prevention measures, USAID is working closely with UNICEF and other education partners to ensure that schools reopen safely.

I'm rearranging the home office as I've got so very bored of the current look which has become cluttered. So, the Intel iMac is sharing the same desk as the iMac G3 for tonight until I get another desk (same as the one in the pic) so I can put them side by side and have one huuuuge long desk with more space to put all my peripherals on. It feels nice to be pointing in a different direction :)

I stopped for a coffee at the Western View Café in Eastbourne and loved the cool elegance of its outdoor area. I looked it up when I got home and was amazed to find that the café is only a temporary structure, designed to be there for 2 years until a replacement is built for the old Wish Tower Café, which was demolished last year. I really hope this beautiful area can stay. It's a wonderful sun trap.

Mariahilferstraße
Mariahilferstraße, 6th, 7th, 14th and 15th, since 1897 (in the 6th and 7th district originally Kremser Sraße, then Bavarian highway, Laimgrubner main road, Mariahilfer main street, Fünfhauserstraße, Schönbrunnerstraße and Penzinger Poststraße, then Schönbrunner Straße), in memory of the old suburb name; Mariahilf was an independent municipality from 1660 to 1850, since then with Gumpendorf, Magdalenengrund, Windmühle and Laimgrube 6th District.

History
Pottery and wine
The first ones who demonstrably populated the area of ​​today's Mariahilferstraße (after the mammoth) were the Illyrians. They took advantage of the rich clay deposits for making simple vessels. The Celts planted on the sunny hills the first grape vines and understood the wine-making process very well. When the Romans occupied at the beginning of our Era Vienna for several centuries, they left behind many traces. The wine culture of the Celts they refined. On the hill of today's Mariahilferstraße run a Roman ridge trail, whose origins lay in the camp of Vindobona. After the rule of the Romans, the migration of peoples temporarily led many cultures here until after the expulsion of the Avars Bavarian colonists came from the West.
The peasant Middle Ages - From the vineyard to the village
Thanks to the loamy soil formed the winery, which has been pushed back only until the development of the suburbs, until the mid-17th Century the livelihood of the rural population. "Im Schöff" but also "Schöpf - scoop" and "Schiff - ship" (from "draw of") the area at the time was called. The erroneous use of a ship in the seal of the district is reminiscent of the old name, which was then replaced by the picture of grace "Mariahilf". The Weinberg (vineyard) law imposed at that time that the ground rent in the form of mash on the spot had to be paid. This was referred to as a "draw".
1495 the Mariahilfer wine was added to the wine disciplinary regulations for Herrenweine (racy, hearty, fruity, pithy wine with pleasant acidity) because of its special quality and achieved high prices.
1529 The first Turkish siege
Mariahilferstraße, already than an important route to the West, was repeatedly the scene of historical encounters. When the Turks besieged Vienna for the first time, was at the lower end of today Mariahilferstrasse, just outside the city walls of Vienna, a small settlement of houses and cottages, gardens and fields. Even the St. Theobald Monastery was there. This so-called "gap" was burned at the approach of the Turks, for them not to offer hiding places at the siege. Despite a prohibition, the area was rebuilt after departure of the Turks.
1558, a provision was adopted so that the glacis, a broad, unobstructed strip between the city wall and the outer settlements, should be left free. The Glacis existed until the demolition of the city walls in 1858. Here the ring road was later built.
1663 The new Post Road
With the new purpose of the Mariahilferstrasse as post road the first three roadside inn houses were built. At the same time the travel increased, since the carriages were finally more comfortable and the roads safer. Two well-known expressions date from this period. The "tip" and "kickbacks". In the old travel handbooks of that time we encounter them as guards beside the route, the travel and baggage tariff. The tip should the driver at the rest stop pay for the drink, while the bribe was calculated in proportion to the axle grease. Who was in a hurry, just paid a higher lubricant (Schmiergeld) or tip to motivate the coachman.
1683 The second Turkish siege
The second Turkish siege brought Mariahilferstraße the same fate. Meanwhile, a considerable settlement was formed, a real suburb, which, however, still had a lot of fields and brick pits. Again, the suburb along the Mariahilferstraße was razed to the ground, the population sought refuge behind the walls or in the Vienna Woods. The reconstruction progressed slowly since there was a lack of funds and manpower. Only at the beginning of the 18th Century took place a targeted reconstruction.
1686 Palais Esterhazy
On several "Brandstetten", by the second Turkish siege destroyed houses, the Hungarian aristocratic family Esterhazy had built herself a simple palace, which also had a passage on the Mariahilferstrasse. 1764 bought the innkeeper Paul Winkelmayr from Spittelberg the building, demolished it and built two new buildings that have been named in accordance with the Esterhazy "to the Hungarian crown."
17th Century to 19th Century. Fom the village to suburb
With the development of the settlements on the Mariahilferstraße from village to suburbs, changed not only the appearance but also the population. More and more agricultural land fell victim to the development, craftsmen and tradesmen settled there. There was an incredible variety of professions and trades, most of which were organized into guilds or crafts. Those cared for vocational training, quality and price of the goods, and in cases of unemployment, sickness and death.
The farms were replaced by churches and palaces, houses and shops. Mariahilf changed into a major industrial district, Mariahilferstrasse was an important trading center. Countless street traders sold the goods, which they carried either with them, or put in a street stall on display. The dealers made themselves noticeable by a significant Kaufruf (purchase call). So there was the ink man who went about with his bottles, the Wasserbauer (hydraulic engineering) who sold Danube water on his horse-drawn vehicle as industrial water, or the lavender woman. This lovely Viennese figures disappeared with the emergence of fixed premises and the improvement of urban transport.
Private carriages, horse-drawn carriages and buggies populated the streets, who used this route also for trips. At Mariahilferplatz Linientor (gate) was the main stand of the cheapest and most popular means of transport, the Zeiselwagen, which the Wiener used for their excursions into nature, which gradually became fashionable. In the 19th Century then yet arrived the Stellwagen (carriage) and bus traffic which had to accomplish the connection between Vienna and the suburbs. As a Viennese joke has it, suggests the Stellwagen that it has been so called because it did not come from the spot.
1719 - 1723 Royal and Imperial Court Stables
Emperor Charles VI. gave the order for the construction of the stables to Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. 1772 the building was extended by two houses on the Mariahilferstrasse. The size of the stables still shows, as it serves as the Museum Quarter - its former importance. The Mariahilferstraße since the building of Schönbrunn Palace by the Imperial court very strongly was frequented. Today in the historic buildings the Museum Quarter is housed.

1730 Mariahilferkirche
1711 began the renovation works at the Mariahilferkirche, giving the church building today's appearance and importance as a baroque monument. The plans stem from Franziskus Jänkl, the foreman of Lukas von Hildebrandt. Originally stood on the site of the Mariahilferkirche in the medieval vineyard "In Schoeff" a cemetery with wooden chapel built by the Barnabites. Already in those days, the miraculous image Mariahilf was located therein. During the Ottoman siege the chapel was destroyed, the miraculous image could be saved behind the protective walls. After the provisional reconstruction the miraculous image in a triumphal procession was returned, accompanied by 30,000 Viennese.
1790 - 1836 Ferdinand Raimund
Although in the district Mariahilf many artists and historical figures of Vienna lived , it is noticeable that as a residence they rather shunned the Mariahilferstraße, because as early as in the 18th Century there was a very lively and loud bustle on the street. The most famous person who was born on the Mariahilferstrasse is the folk actor and dramatist Ferdinand Raimund. He came in the house No. 45, "To the Golden deer (Zum Goldenen Hirschen)", which still exists today, as son of a turner into the world. As confectioners apprentice, he also had to visit the theaters, where he was a so-called "Numero", who sold his wares to the visitors. This encounter with the theater was fateful. He took flight from his training masters and joined a traveling troupe as an actor. After his return to Vienna, he soon became the most popular comedian. In his plays all those figures appeared then bustling the streets of Vienna. His most famous role was that of the "ash man" in "Farmer as Millionaire", a genuine Viennese guy who brings the wood ash in Butte from the houses, and from the proceeds leading a modest existence.
1805 - 1809 French occupation
The two-time occupation of Vienna by the French hit the suburbs hard. But the buildings were not destroyed fortunately.
19th century Industrialization
Here, where a higher concentration of artisans had developed as in other districts, you could feel the competition of the factories particularly hard. A craftsman after another became factory worker, women and child labor was part of the day-to-day business. With the sharp rise of the population grew apartment misery and flourished bed lodgers and roomers business.
1826
The Mariahilferstraße is paved up to the present belt (Gürtel).
1848 years of the revolution
The Mariahilferstraße this year was in turmoil. At the outbreak of the revolution, the hatred of the people was directed against the Verzehrungssteuerämter (some kind of tax authority) at the lines that have been blamed for the rise of food prices, and against the machines in the factories that had made the small craftsmen out of work or dependent workers. In October, students, workers and citizens tore up paving stones and barricaded themselves in the Mariahilfer Linientor (the so-called Linienwall was the tax frontier) in the area of ​​today's belt.
1858 The Ring Road
The city walls fell and on the glacis arose the ring-road, the now 6th District more closely linking to the city center.
1862 Official naming
The Mariahilferstraße received its to the present day valid name, after it previously was bearing the following unofficial names: "Bavarian country road", "Mariahilfer Grund Straße", "Penzinger Street", "Laimgrube main street" and "Schönbrunner Linienstraße".
The turn of the century: development to commercial street
After the revolution of 1848, the industry displaced the dominant small business rapidly. At the same time the Mariahilferstraße developed into the first major shopping street of Vienna. The rising supply had to be passed on to the customer, and so more and more new shops sprang up. Around the turn of the century broke out a real building boom. The low suburban houses with Baroque and Biedermeier facade gave way to multi-storey houses with flashy and ostentatious facades in that historic style mixture, which was so characteristic of the late Ringstrasse period. From the former historic buildings almost nothing remained. The business portals were bigger and more pompous, the first department stores in the modern style were Gerngross and Herzmansky. Especially the clothing industry took root here.
1863 Herzmansky opened
On 3 March opened August Herzmansky a small general store in the Church Lane (Kirchengasse) 4. 1897 the great establishment in the pin alley (Stiftgasse) was opened, the largest textile company of the monarchy. August Herzmansky died a year before the opening, two nephews take over the business. In 1928, Mariahilferstraße 28 is additionally acquired. 1938, the then owner Max Delfiner had to flee, the company Rhonberg and Hämmerle took over the house. The building in Mariahilferstrasse 30 additionally was purchased. In the last days of the war in 1945 it fell victim to the flames, however. 1948, the company was returned to Max Delfiner, whose son sold in 1957 to the German Hertie group, a new building in Mariahilferstrasse 26 - 30 constructing. Other ownership changes followed.
1869 The Pferdetramway
The Pferdetramway made it first trip through the Mariahilferstraße to Neubaugasse.
Opened in 1879 Gerngroß
Mariahilferstraße about 1905
Alfred Gerngross, a merchant from Bavaria and co-worker August
Herzmanskys, founded on Mariahilferstrasse 48/corner Church alley (Kirchengasse) an own fabric store. He became the fiercest competitor of his former boss.
1901 The k.k. Imperial Furniture Collection
The k.k. Hofmobilien and material depot is established in Mariahilferstrasse 88. The collection quickly grew because each new ruler got new furniture. Today, it serves as a museum. Among other things, there is the office of Emperor Franz Joseph, the equipment of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico from Miramare Castle, the splendid table of Charles VI. and the furniture from the Oriental Cabinet of Crown Prince Rudolf.
1911 The House Stafa
On 18 August 1911, on the birthday of Emperor Franz Joseph, corner Mariahilferstraße/imperial road (Kaiserstraße) the "central palace" was opened. The construction by its architecture created a sensation. Nine large double figure-relief panels of Anton Hanak decorated it. In this building the "1st Vienna Commercial sample collective department store (Warenmuster-Kollektivkaufhaus)", a eight-storey circular building was located, which was to serve primarily the craft. The greatest adversity in the construction were underground springs. Two dug wells had to be built to pump out the water. 970 liters per minute, however, must be pumped out until today.
1945 bombing of Vienna
On 21 February 1945 bombs fell on the Mariahilferstrasse, many buildings were badly damaged. On 10th April Wiener looted the store Herzmansky. Ella Fasser, the owner of the café "Goethe" in Mariahilferstrasse, preserved the Monastery barracks (Stiftskaserne) from destruction, with the help other resistance fighters cutting the fire-conducting cords that had laid the retreating German troops. Meanwhile, she invited the officers to the cafe, and befuddled them with plenty of alcohol.

On a dreary day in March 1989, an eastbound Delaware & Hudson freight, now operated by the Susquehanna, approaches the road crossing at Montevideo Rd on CSX's Capitol Subdivision with F45 #3636 leading NS C30-7 #8059. Milepost 15 can also be seen on the north side of the #1 main. The NYS&W was a temporary operator of the D&H ordered by the bankruptcy court until a buyer could be found for the railroad. By 1991 the D&H became part of the Canadian Pacific and these post Conrail trackage rights trains to and from Potomac Yard would continue into the '90s before finally being given up by CP.

Visit www.vanguard-online.co.uk/archive/politicsandculture/sufc... for a Photojournalistic report on the fans experience of Scunthorpe United's triumphant 2-1 victory over Millwall on January 31st 2009.
In January 2009 Scunthorpe United a professional football team from the north of England travelled to south London to face Millwall in a League One fixture. In 2009 Scunthorpe were experiencing their most succesful era in over fifty years. The apogee had come two years earlier when they claimed the League One title and gained promotion to the Championship. The following season in the Championship Scunthorpe had a good run of results at the beginning of the season including a notable 3-2 win over local rivals Sheffield United, who were at the time managed by old England and Manchester United captain Bryan Robson. However as the season dragged on Scunthorpe's results started to dip, early leads were squandered, the end result being that Scunthorpe were relegated from the Championship.
Back in League One for the 2008-09 season, and the Iron, as Scunthorpe United are known, after making a dreadful start, went on an eight match winning run which took them to the top of the League. History seemed to be repeating itself, and Iron fans started rubbing their hands in anticipation at a second League One title. Unfortunately the following games highlighted a gradual decline in the Iron's performances. By January 2009 the match against Millwall had become a battle between two teams who were competing for a play-off place.
Going to Millwall is not a trip to Alton Towers. Millwall have long had a reputation for possessing one of the most dangerous firms of what people call hooligans, in the UK. For most away supporters who don't have intentions of getting into a fight it is wise to approach the Millwall ground, The New Den, in a humble and relatively sober manner.
The New Den is buried in an industrial estate. A long winding concrete alleyway, guarded by metal railings takes you there. Walking to the ground is like walking to a prison camp.
In the stadium the more vociferous and provocative of Millwall's supporters situate themselves next to the away supporter's end. The Scunthorpe fans were confined to the central part of the away end to maximise the distance between the two sets of supporters.
After the referree blew his whistle to start the game between Millwall and Scunthorpe United it became clear that both teams were vulnerable to making mistakes and poor passing. The game took its toll on Scunthorpe as well as Millwall supporters. But it was Millwall who had the first laugh when Gary Alexander scored a goal in the 63rd minute.
The Millwall fans, who had been relativel subdued before the goal, broke out into celebrations. This photograph captures Millwall fans before and after their goal celebration. The familiar stretching of the arms to indicate just how big and powerful a fan can grow in the light of an opening goal is demonstrated. It is accompanied by the masturbatory gesture, often used to indicate that fans of the opposing side are not attractive enough to find a female mate, and have to resort to manual self stimulation to recreate the experience of sexual intercourse with a woman.
The best display of celebratory emotion, not captured on camera, went to a young man with cropped hair, who celebrated the goal by jumping around like an ape, rubbing his bear chest, and swinging his arm pendulously suggesting that Millwall's goal had given him a manhood the size of an elephant's trunk. Most of the Scunthorpe end were temporarily mesmerised by this surreal expression of dominance, which for entertainment value eclipsed what had been provided on the pitch up to that point.
Scunthorpe fans look on, some with resignation. Football is an emotional game but Scunthorpe fans have more reason than most to be stoic.
Traditionally Scunthorpe have been a mid-table side in League Two, flirting at the edges of both promotion and relegation, but more often than not delivering neither. Scunthorpe fans seasoned to a well balanced diet of wins, losses and draws, and anaesthetised by mediocrity, have had time to develop that unemotional glazed over look, that thousand yard stare.
In 2009 manager Nigel Adkins, who used to be the clubs' physio, and of who it was once sang 'Who needs Morinho we've got our physio', had assembled a young team. The team was capable of attractive inventive play, but all too easily lots its concentration and shape.
The photos show how the team caused fans to express a range of emotions from frustration to nail biting. Every football match usually has its dull moments, so much so that even the most ardent of supporters can momentarily switch off, and indulge in a good yawn.
Scunthorpe fans can be demanding. A large number insist on fair play. Some fans will boo their own players for feigning injury or fouls even if it accrues an advantage to Scunthorpe. "Get up" you'll hear them shout as if they've seen it all before.
You can find self-flagellation in both Christianity and Islam.
It is also present in some suppoters' ritual demonstration of their dedication to Scunthorpe United.
Scunthorpe United fans, like fans of other northern football clubs, have a habit of bearing their skin to the cruel winter airs - as a symbol of their unflinching support.
Whilst Millwall were marginally the better of two teams both struggling to impose their will on the match, it was Scunthorpe that went on to take the glory.
The winning goal came within three minutes of the full time whisle, Gary "Hoops" Hooper running in behind the Millwall defence to bring down a looped ball from Matt Sparrow, and deal a devestating finish with aplomb.
When a goal goes in - hot steaming gold runs through your veins - you become invincible for as long as the feeling lasts.
And with defeat causing the metaphorical Millwall manhood to shrivel to the size of a falafel and two garden peas the it was time for Scunthorpe fans to revel in their new found symbolic dominance - all forged in the fantasy fire of footballing fortunes.
Questions were asked.
Who's the big man now?
Who's stopped singing their songs?
Suprisingly, the police let Millwall and Scunthorpe United fans out of the stadium together. On the way back to South Bermondsey train station I found myself surrounded by a hundred Millwall supporters. We were crammed into a corridoor which led up to the train station, waiting for the police to allows us access to the platform. The Millwall fans started to give the police a bit of gip. Every now and then you'd hear a fan shreik "Mill" which was an invocation for another fan to do the same and so on and so forth. These high pitched mosquito like shreiks were eerie, they sounded like the beginning to a pagan ritual. There was a nervous tension in the air. Stood next to my mate, who was conversing freely in his London accent, I frustratedly communicated nothing more than grunts, not wanting to give anything away of my northern roots. Now was not the time to introduce myself to a hoard of Millwall fans who were cold, bored and humbled by the might of the Iron.

Over the 2013 Christmas period and in to the new year, a period of persistent heavy rain and strong winds combined to cause widespread flooding and countless landslips. One such landslip undermined the carriageway on the approach to Alum Bay, thus curtailing route 7 at Totland over the Christmas period. By the 5th January 2014 when this photo of recently repainted 1102 (HW08 AOR) was taken, a temporary terminus had been established a few hundred yards along the road with buses turning in the entrance to Headon Hall.
