offshore credit card WE WILL DIE ...dont cha know financial management courses

offshore credit card Death in the supernatural yard of mary Jo MO The Top 100 Statistics About The Collapse Of The Economy That Every American Voter Should Know The U.S. economy is dying and most American voters have no idea why. Unfortunately, the mainstream media and most of our politicians are not telling the truth about the collapse of the economy. This generation was handed the keys to the greatest economic machine that the world has ever seen, and we have completely wrecked it. Decades of incredibly foolish decisions have left us drowning in an ocean of corruption, greed and bad debt. Thousands of businesses and millions of jobs have left the country and poverty is exploding from coast to coast. We are literally becoming a joke to the rest of the world. It is absolutely imperative that we educate America about what is happening. Until the American people truly understand the problems that we are facing, they will not be willing to implement the solutions that are necessary. The following are the top 100 statistics about the collapse of the economy that every American voter should know.... #100 A staggering 48.5% of all Americans live in a household that receives some form of government benefits. Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent. #99 During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office. #98 Since Barack Obama was sworn in, the share of the national debt per household has increased by $35,835. #97 The U.S. national debt has been increasing by an average of more than 4 billion dollars per day since the beginning of the Obama administration. #96 It is being projected that the U.S. national debt will hit 344% of GDP by the year 2050 if we continue on our current course. #95 The Congressional Budget Office is projecting that U.S. government debt held by the public will reach a staggering 716 percent of GDP by the year 2080. #94 In 2010, the U.S. government paid $413 billion in interest on the national debt. That is projected to at least double over the next decade. #93 According to one new survey, one out of every three Americans would not be able to make a mortgage or rent payment next month if they suddenly lost their current job. #92 State and local government debt has reached an all-time high of 22 percent of U.S. GDP. #91 In 1980, government transfer payments accounted for just 11.7% of all income. Today, government transfer payments account for 18.4% of all income. #90 U.S. households are now receiving more income from the U.S. government than they are paying to the government in taxes. #89 According to a new study conducted by the BlackRock Investment Institute, the ratio of household debt to personal income in the United States is now 154 percent. #88 If you can believe it, one out of every seven Americans has at least 10 credit cards. #87 According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, health care costs accounted for just 9.5% of all personal consumption back in 1980. Today they account for approximately 16.3%. #86 The cost of a health insurance policy for the average American family rose by a whopping 9 percent last year, and according to a report put out by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust, the average family health insurance policy now costs over $15,000 a year. #85 One study found that approximately 41 percent of working age Americans either have medical bill problems or are currently paying off medical debt. #84 An all-time record 49.9 million Americans do not have any health insurance at all at this point, and the percentage of Americans covered by employer-based health plans has fallen for 11 years in a row. #83 According to a report published in The American Journal of Medicine, medical bills are a major factor in more than 60 percent of the personal bankruptcies in the United States. Of those bankruptcies that were caused by medical bills, approximately 75 percent of them involved individuals that actually did have health insurance. #82 Average yearly tuition at U.S. private universities is now up to $27,293. #81 The cost of college tuition in the United States has gone up by over 900 percent since 1978. #80 In America today, approximately two-thirds of all college students graduate with student loans. #79 In 2010, the average college graduate had accumulated approximately $25,000 in student loan debt by graduation day. #78 The total amount of student loan debt in the United States now exceeds the total amount of credit card debt in the United States. #77 One-third of all college graduates end up taking jobs that don\'t even require college degrees. #76 In the United States today, there are more than 100,000 janitors that have college degrees. #75 In the United States today, 317,000 waiters and waitresses have college degrees. #74 In the United States today, approximately 365,000 cashiers have college degrees. #73 It is being projected that for the first time ever, the OPEC nations are going to bring in over a trillion dollars from exporting oil this year. Their biggest customer is the United States. #72 U.S. oil companies will bring in about $200 billion in pre-tax profits this year. They will also receive about $4.4 billion in specialized tax breaks from the U.S. government. #71 The United States has had a negative trade balance every single year since 1976, and since that time the United States has run a total trade deficit of more than 7.5 trillion dollars with the rest of the world. #70 The United States has lost an average of 50,000 manufacturing jobs per month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. #69 The U.S. trade deficit with China is now 27 times larger than it was back in 1990. #68 Today, the United States spends more than 4 dollars on goods and services from China for every one dollar that China spends on goods and services from the United States. #67 China has surpassed the United States and is now the largest PC market in the entire world. #66 In 2002, the United States had a trade deficit in \"advanced technology products\" of $16 billion with the rest of the world. In 2010, that number skyrocketed to $82 billion. #65 In 2010, the number one U.S. export to China was \"scrap and trash\". #64 Do you remember when the United States was the dominant manufacturer of automobiles and trucks on the globe? Well, in 2010 the U.S. ran a trade deficit in automobiles, trucks and parts of $110 billion. #63 The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000. #62 More than 42,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have been closed down since 2001. #61 Between December 2000 and December 2010, 38 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Ohio were lost, 42 percent of the manufacturing jobs in North Carolina were lost and 48 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Michigan were lost. #60 Back in 1970, 25 percent of all jobs in the United States were manufacturing jobs. Today, only 9 percent of the jobs in the United States are manufacturing jobs. #59 According to Professor Alan Blinder of Princeton University, 40 million more U.S. jobs could be sent offshore over the next two decades. #58 If you gathered together all of the workers that are \"officially\" unemployed in the United States today, they would constitute the 68th largest country in the world. #57 There are fewer payroll jobs in the United States right now than there were back in 2000 even though we have added 30 million extra people to the population since then. #56 Back in 1969, 95 percent of all men between the ages of 25 and 54 had a job. In July, only 81.2 percent of men in that age group had a job. #55 Only 55.3% of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 were employed last year. That was the lowest level that we have seen since World War II. #54 Today, there are 5.9 million Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 that are living with their parents. #53 The economic downturn has been particularly tough on men. According to Census data, men are twice as likely to live with their parents as women are. #52 According to one recent survey, only 14 percent of all Americans that are 28 or 29 years old are optimistic about their financial futures. #51 Incredibly, less than 30 percent of all U.S. teens had a job this summer. #50 According to one study, between 1969 and 2009 the median wages earned by American men between the ages of 30 and 50 dropped by 27 percent after you account for inflation. #49 Since the year 2000, we have lost approximately 10% of our middle class jobs. In the year 2000 there were about 72 million middle class jobs in the United States but today there are only about 65 million middle class jobs. #48 In 1980, 52 percent of all jobs in the United States were middle income jobs. Today, only 42 percent of all jobs are middle income jobs. #47 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs. Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs. #46 According to Paul Osterman, a professor of economics at MIT, approximately 20 percent of all employed Americans are making $10.65 an hour or less. #45 Half of all American workers now earn $505 or less per week. #44 Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8% once you account for inflation. #43 New home sales in the United States are now down 80% from the peak in July 2005. #42 The all-time record for fewest number of new homes sold in the United States was broken in 2009. Then it was broken again in 2010. It is on pace to be broken once again in 2011. #41 At one point this year, U.S. home prices had fallen a whopping 33%from where they were at during the peak of the housing bubble. #40 U.S. home values have fallen approximately 6 trillion dollars since the housing crisis first began. #39 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18 percent of all homes in the state of Florida are sitting vacant. That figure is 63 percent larger than it was just ten years ago. #38 Historically, the percentage of residential mortgages in foreclosure in the United States has tended to hover between 1 and 1.5 percent. Today, it is up around 4.5 percent. #37 According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, at least 8 million Americans are currently at least one month behind on their mortgage payments. #36 According to a Harris Interactive survey taken near the end of last year, 77 percent of all Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck. In 2007, the same survey found that only 43 percent of Americans were living paycheck to paycheck. #35 Starting on January 1st, 2011 the Baby Boomers began to hit retirement age. From now on, every single day more than 10,000 Baby Boomers will reach the age of 65. That is going to keep happening every single day for the next 19 years. #34 According to a new poll by Americans for Secure Retirement, 88 percent of all Americans are worried about \"maintaining a comfortable standard of living in retirement\". Last year, that figure was at 73 percent. #33 One out of every six elderly Americans now lives below the federal poverty line. #32 In 1950, each retiree\'s Social Security benefit was paid for by 16 U.S. workers. According to new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are now only 1.75 full-time private sector workers for each person that is receiving Social Security benefits in the United States. #31 According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Social Security system paid out more in benefits than it received in payroll taxes in 2010. That was not supposed to happen until at least 2016. #30 The U.S. government now says that the Medicare trust fund will run outfive years faster than they were projecting just last year. #29 According to one study, the 50 U.S. state governments are collectively 3.2 trillion dollars short of what they need to meet their pension obligations. #28 A different study has shown that individual Americans are $6.6 trillion short of what they need to retire comfortably. #27 Between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent. #26 According to a shocking AARP survey of Baby Boomers that are still in the workforce, 40 percent of them plan to work \"until they drop\". #25 Last year, 2.6 million more Americans dropped into poverty. That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959. #24 Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty. Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty. #23 More than 50 million Americans are now on Medicaid. Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, approximately one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid. #22 More than 45 million Americans are now on food stamps. #21 The number of Americans on food stamps has increased 74% since 2007. #20 Approximately one-third of the entire population of the state of Alabama is now on food stamps. #19 Right now, one out of every four American children is on food stamps. #18 It is being projected that approximately 50 percent of all U.S. children will be on food stamps at some point in their lives before they reach the age of 18. #17 The poverty rate for children living in the United States increased to 22% in 2010. #16 There are 314 counties in the United States where at least 30% of the children are facing food insecurity. #15 In Washington D.C., the \"child food insecurity rate\" is 32.3%. #14 More than 20 million U.S. children rely on school meal programs to keep from going hungry. #13 It is estimated that up to half a million children may currently be homeless in the United States. #12 The number of Americans that are going to food pantries and soup kitchens has increased by 46% since 2006. #11 According to a recent report from the AFL-CIO, the average CEO made 343 times more money than the average American did last year. #10 The wealthiest 1% of all Americans now own more than a third of all the wealth in the United States. #9 The poorest 50% of all Americans collectively own just 2.5% of all the wealth in the United States. #8 The percentage of millionaires in Congress is more than 50 times higher than the percentage of millionaires in the general population. #7 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 16.6 million Americans were self-employed back in December 2006. Today, that number has shrunk to 14.5 million. #6 According to one recent poll, 90 percent of the American people believe that economic conditions in the United States are \"poor\". To put this in perspective, only 11 percent of Americans rated economic conditions in the U.S. as \"poor\" back in January of 1999. #5 According to another recent poll, 80 percent of the American people believe that we are actually in a recession right now. #4 Our dollar is being systematically destroyed by the Federal Reserve. An item that cost $20.00 in 1970 will cost you $116.78 today. An item that cost $20.00 in 1913 will cost you $457.67 today. #3 The Federal Reserve made $16.1 trillion in secret loans to their friends during the last financial crisis. #2 The Federal Reserve is a perpetual debt machine. Today, the U.S. national debt is more than 4700 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was created back in 1913. #1 According to a new CNN/ORC International Poll, 27 percent of all Americans have never even heard of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. We need to educate America. Please share this with as many people as you can. Time is running out for America, and 2012 is going to be an absolutely pivotal year in the history of this nation. We are in the midst of a long-term economic decline that is rapidly accelerating. If dramatic changes are not made very quickly, we will soon witness a full-blown collapse of the economy. Wake up as many people as you can.

beefy tee TS2 Type 1 Pole Mount Cabinet with 16 load bays naughty school girl outfit

beefy tee TS2 Type 1 Pole Mount Cabinet with 16 load bays naughty school girl outfit

beefy tee This is a tight fit, but there are 16 load switches in the load bay (useful because we could put this cabinet anywhere as an knock down temporary replacement). The wires are small gauge, because this is a photo from the shop testing. The wires go to a Mitchell tester. The actual field wires are much more beefy. You can see the Reno flash transfer relays. These have a red indicator LED when they are functioning correctly. A nice feature, since you can open up the cabinet door, and get a visual indication that the relays are working properly. Note that in a 332 style Caltrans Tees cabinet, the red light turns on only when the signal goes into flash. On a NEMA TS2 Type 1 cabinet, the red LED\'s are on during normal stop and go operation, and then turn off when the signal goes into flash. There is, just barely, room to put in an Autoscope Terra video detection system. We could squeeze a TIP and TAP into this cabinet if we had to. After looking into this, I would probably remove the loop detection tie panel (the green panel on the left side of the cabinet) and the detector rack to incorporate video detection. This cabinet was delivered with only 1 detection rack (that\'s all the room it had), with 16 channels of loop detection.

hotel in paris near train station 21 West Street Building cheapest domain name registrations

hotel in paris near train station 21 West Street Building cheapest domain name registrations

hotel in paris near train station Financial District, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States The thirty-one story, brick Art Deco office building at 21 West Street was constructed in 1929-31 to the designs of the prolific architectural firm of Starrett & Van Vleck. With its bold, set-back profile, and finely detailed brickwork suggestive of woven fabric, this building epitomizes the skyscrapers built in New York during the \"Jazz Age,\" when architects and their clients were searching for ways to represent this period which was seen as more fast-paced, mechanized, and altogether different from what had come before. The architects used brick for its varied color and textural interest, derived the massing from the recent zoning laws, and used space in new ways, incorporating a recessed street-level shopping arcade and corner windows. The architectural firm of Starrett & Van Vleck which had designed numerous buildings, including offices, schools, and stores were experienced practitioners of this type of design. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS History of the Area The southernmost tip of Manhattan is the oldest inhabited part of the island. It was so densely built up that early in the city\'s history, the areas adjacent to the shore began to be filled in to create more useable land. The entire block of West Street, from Battery Place to Morris Street is built upon landfill in the Hudson River; its creation occured in the early years of the nineteenth century, in accordance with the terms of certain water grants made by the city. The earliest occupants of this area purchased standard 25-foot lots and constructed individual houses on them. Over the course of the nineteenth century, the city\'s increasing population, changes in fashion, as well as changes in types of businesses and their needs meant that residences relocated further uptown, leaving lower Manhattan primarily for business use. Beginning in the early twentieth century, ownership on the block began to change from individuals to realty and warehouse companies. These new owners tended to buy numerous small lots and assemble larger parcels to accommodate new, larger industrial and office buildings. In 1929, the land on which 21 West Street is located, then occupied by various low, early nineteenth-century buildings, changed hands several times among a series of real estate concerns until it was purchased by the 21 West Street Corporation which erected this office building for investment purposes. The period from 1925 to 1931 was a period of tremendous building and growth in New York City. During 1925, fifteen new office skyscrapers were erected, and during 1926, thirty more towers were built. The years 1929-1930 were the peak years for the construction of office buildings in the Art Deco style despite the crash of the Stock Market, as those which had been previously planned and financed went forward. Large skyscrapers of those years included the Empire State Building (1929-31, 350 Fifth Avenue, a designated New York City Landmark), the Chrysler Building (1928-30, 405 Lexington Avenue, a designated New York City Landmark), and the Daily News Building (1929-30, 220 East 42nd Street, a designated New York City Landmark) in midtown, and the Manhattan Company Building (1929-30, 40 Wall Street, a designated New York City Landmark), the City Bank-Farmers Trust Company Building (1930-31, 20 Exchange Place, a designated New York City Landmark) and the Irving Trust Building (1929-32, 1 Wall Street) downtown. Infra-structure improvements in various parts of the city served as spurs to new development, such as the demolition of the Second Avenue Elevated which paved the way for Tudor City on the east side, and the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel in lower Manhattan which made travel between Manhattan and Brooklyn easier, while eliminating much east-west traffic in lower Manhattan, near the site of this West Street building. Art Deco Style The Art Deco or Modernistic style of architecture which primarily appeared in this country from the mid-1920s through the 1930s, has been called an “avant-garde traditionalist” approach to creating a contemporary idiom for buildings of the period. As in other self-conscious modern periods, designers and critics of this time expressed the need for a new style which could be deemed appropriate for the period dubbed the \"Jazz Age,\" and all its accompanying technological developments. Much of the architecture that we know as Art Deco however, was based on accepted, standard forms and construction techniques, which were given a modern cast through the use of a characteristic ornament, and a variety of materials, some new and some simply used in a new way. Most of the architects active in this style had received traditional Beaux-Arts training in which the plan and the design of elevations were the first and most important steps in the design of a building. To these initial steps were added design and ornamental ideas which evolved from numerous influences including: the Paris 1925 Exposition International des Arts Decoratifs, the well-publicized designs of the Vienna Secessionists and the Wiener Werkstatt, the German Expressionists, as well as American architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan, current theatrical set designs, and Mayan and other Native American forms. The overall shape of tall buildings of this period came about as a result of the 1916 Building Zone Resolution of New York which decreed setbacks at various levels to allow light and air to reach the lower stories of buildings in an increasingly dense city. In 1922, architect and critic Harvey Wiley Corbett (1873-1954) and architectural renderer Hugh Ferriss (1889-1962) explored the possibilities of the zoning law in a series of drawings which illustrated progressive stages of design based on the law’s restrictions. These dramatic renderings, published in Pencil Points (1923) and in Metropolis of Tomorrow (1929), significantly influenced architects of the period. The drawings and the laws from which they came directed the architects’ attention to the building as a whole rather than to a single facade of the structure, thus altering the whole design process. By visualizing buildings “from every possible angle” the architect was transformed from a designer of facades into a “sculptor in building masses.” The zoning law provided architects with a sound, rational basis for the form and appearance of the skyscraper as well as a new source of creativity; historical styles did not seem to express this modern sensibility and consequently, a new “skyscraper style” emerged in the 1920s. Major characteristics of the new style, as generated in part by the zoning restrictions, were sculpted massing, bold setbacks, and ornament subordinated to the overall mass. The dramatic rendering style of Ferriss and others articulated this new modernist aesthetic. In addition, an emphasis on the verticality of the tall building derived from the wide influence of Eliel Saarinen\'s second-prize winning competition entry for the Chicago Tribune Building in 1923. At the same time, the surfaces of these new buildings were treated with little depth, literally as a skin around the framework. This idea came from the work of architects of the Chicago School, which in turn can be traced back to the writings of German architect Gottfried Semper (1803-1879). In an essay he included as one of the four basic components of architecture the \"enclosure of textiles, animal skins, wattle or any other filler hung from the frame or placed between the supporting poles.\" This led to the idea of walls being treated like woven fabric, a technique used on several buildings in New York on this period, including the Film Center Building by Ely Jacques Kahn (1928-29, 630 Ninth Avenue, a designated New York City Interior Landmark). New materials such as metal alloys were used, but brick and terra cotta were favorites because of their wide range of color and textural possibilities. Buildings were conceived as stage sets for daily living and were treated as such, with entrances taking on the form and function of the proscenium, and with walls which were made to look like curtains. Ornament, usually in low relief and concentrated primarily on the entrances, took the form of angular, geometric shapes such as ziggarats and zigzags, or simplified and stylized floral patterns, parts of circles, or faceted crystalline shapes. Reaching its zenith in popularity between 1928 and 1931 in New York City, this new architectural style was used mainly for skyscrapers. By the time of its critical reassessment in the 1960s and 1970s this \"modernistic\" style had achieved the popular name of Art Deco after the 1925 Paris Exposition. 21 West Street Building The office tower at 21 West Street was conceived and constructed during this fertile design and building phase of New York architecture. Since it was built as a speculative investment, the owners wanted an appealing building to attract tenants, while giving them as large a return on their investment as possible. This type of speculative building coincided with the dominant forces of business and commercial enterprise in the 1920s, and the stylish Art Deco architecture was seen as giving expression to this power. According to a contemporary report, the building \"contains every conceivable device yet invented to contribute to the comfort and convenience of its tenants.\" These features included numerous high-speed elevators as well as a uniquely decorated lobby which featured a mosaic map of old New York. The design of this building, as conceived by Starrett & Van Vleck, made use of many of the current popular architectural theories and ideas. The ground floor arcade with storefronts had its precedent in the Barclay-Vesey Building by McKenzie, Voorhees & Gmelin (1923-27, 140 West Street, a designated New York City Landmark) and reflected the interest of designers in non-traditional uses of space and traffic patterns. The arcade at the ground story brought pedestrians within the building itself, rather than just having them pass by, and was an attempt to consider the building in terms of its wider environment and planning ideas. Another innovative use of space can be seen in the corner windows of this building which are uninterrupted by piers, thus allowing more light and air into the offices, as well as better river views. The contemporary press noted that this was the first use of such windows on a commercial building in America. The series of set-backs towards the top of this building show the architects\' response to New York\'s 1916 Zoning Resolution and created dramatic massing as the building rose into the sky. The angled corners of some of the parapets exhibit a similarity to the top of Harvey Wiley Corbett\'s Master Building (1928-29, 310-312 Riverside Drive, a designated New York City Landmark). Corbett\'s influence can also be seen in the use of colors and designs in the brick cladding on this building, although this treatment also reflects the ideas of the North German Expressionists who had an important influence on this style of architecture. Architects such as Fritz Hoger in Hamburg and others in Holland looked back to the early Gothic tradition in the area of northern Germany for its expressive use of brick. In the 21 West Street Building, there are several different colors of brick, used specifically in different parts of the building, such as the light orange brick which frames the darker spandrels between most of the windows. The different colors of brick both create and emphasize the patterns of the walls. The continuous piers which give emphasis to the verticality of the building, are formed of light tan brick, set in an undulating pattern which catches the light and reflects it differently at different times of the day. The interest in expressing the wall of the building as a skin, or as fabric related to a theater curtain is clearly shown by the brick patterns of this building. Many of the spandrels carry horizontal lines and intersect with the vertical lines evident in the piers. At the third story spandrels, these intersections are even indicated by small squares, giving a clear effect of woven fabric. At the parapets of the twenty-first story, the brick is further formed to create the effect of fabric which is draped over the finials and hangs down along the piers. Starrett & Van Vleck Goldwin Starrett (1874-1918) Ernest Allen Van Vleck (1875-1956) Goldwin Starrett was one of five brothers active in construction and architecture. Born in Lawrence, Kansas, he grew up in Chicago, and attended the engineering school of the University of Michigan, graduating in 1894. Starrett then followed the path of his two older brothers, entering the architectural offices of D.H. Burnham & Co., where he rose to become one of Burnham’s principal assistants. In 1898 Goldwin Starrett joined his brother Theodore at the New York firm of George A. Fuller Construction Company, as superintendent and assistant manager. Goldwin, along with brothers Theodore, Ralph, and William A., formed the Thompson-Starrett Construction Company in 1901. During this time he was the architect for several buildings constructed by this firm, including the Algonquin Hotel (1902, a designated New York City Landmark), and the Hahne Department Store in Newark, N.J. Goldwin Starrett spent the next four years with the E. B. Ellis Granite Company in Vermont, supplying this fine white stone to such important buildings as the Woolworth Building (1910-13, a designated New York City Landmark) and Union Station in Washington. D.C. In 1907 Ernest Allen Van Vleck joined Starrett to form the firm of Goldwin Starrett & Van Vleck. A native of Bell Creek, Nebraska, Van Vleck received an architectural degree from Cornell University in 1897, followed by a traveling fellowship in Europe. Mr. Van Vleck continued the firm under the same name after Goldwin Starrett\'s death in 1918. In his obituary he was credited with the design of the firm\'s later buildings. About 1908, Orrin Rice was admitted to the architectural partnership, and from 1913 to 1918, William A. Starrett was also a partner in the firm. It then became known as Starrett & Van Vleck and specialized (although not exclusively) in commercial buildings and schools. Among the firm’s major New York commissions were: the Lord & Taylor Department Store (1914), Saks Fifth Avenue (1922-24, a designated New York City Landmark), a major expansion of Bloomingdales Department Store (1930), the facade of the Curb (now American Stock) Exchange Building (1930), The Equitable Life Assurance Society Building (393 Seventh Avenue), the Berkeley Building, apartment houses at 820 and 817 Fifth Avenue (located within the Upper East Side Historic District), the Everett Building (1908, a designated New York City Landmark), and numerous school buildings in the New York suburban area. In their earlier work, such as the Lord & Taylor and Saks stores and the large office buildings such as that for the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Starrett & Van Vleck used a more conservative, Renaissance Revival style, typical of the popular designs of that period. Beginning about 1929, the style of their work changed radically, exemplified by the Bloomingdale\'s addition, the Brooklyn Abraham & Strauss store, the Curb Exchange, and 21 West Street. The work of this period reflected the modernistic designs seen in contemporary Art Deco skyscrapers with an emphasis on finely executed brickwork and structurally-derived ornament. A link between these two seemingly distinct styles can be found in the National Association Building (8 West 40th Street, demolished). In 1920, critic John Boyd Taylor called this recently-completed mid-block structure \"one of the most beautiful business buildings in New York, in its tower-like aspect, exquisite outlines, fineness of scale and beautifully blended color of light tan brick and limestone details that fuse like a pattern of tapestry in the upper portions.\" He also made note of the way the brickwork caught the sunlight and made the color appear to change, a quality which is notable on the 21 West Street Building. Later History The 21 West Street Building continued to be used as a commercial building, owned by real estate investors, for many years. In 1997, new owners bought the building and at the the time of designation were rehabilitating it for residential use. Description The building at 21 West Street is thirty-one stories high, with three visible facades: facing West Street, Morris Street, and Washington Street. The building is clad in shades of tan, orange, and purple brick, which is set in a variety of patterns and textures to reflect the light off the surface at different angles, giving a lively effect. Setbacks at several levels reflect the zoning laws in place when the building was constructed and lead up to a twobay-wide, flat-roofed section at the top of the building. The parapets at the setback levels have additional textured brick designs, as do the spandrels of the three lowest stories. On the other floors, the ornament is created by the varieties of color and texture of the brick and the regular placement of the windows and piers. The piers continue down to street level, creating an open arcade on the ground story. This arcade shelters a series of storefronts and the building\'s main entrance. Morris Street Facade Base -Although this building has always used the address of 21 West Street, the main entrance is near the middle of this ten-bay-wide facade. It is recessed under an arcade which runs along the entire ground story. The underside of the arcade is ornamented with multi-colored mosaics, while bronze panels and bronze light fixtures are placed on the walls and piers. The large display windows of the stores are framed by ornamented, metal moldings. The arcade is supported on squared brick piers which form the base of the piers which continue up the height of the building. The arcade openings are corbelled arches, formed by stepped, bronze panels. In the fifth bay from Washington Street, where the main entrance is located, the arched opening has been changed to made it square and it is framed by polished marble. In the spandrel area above the arcade, a central chevron design with flanking horizontal lines is created out of bricks of contrasting colors. Except for the end bays with their corner windows, at the second story, three narrow windows fill each bay. The spandrels between the second and third stories are ornamented by bricks of contrasting colors forming horizontal lines, and each of the eight central bays of the third story have two windows, separated by plain, narrow piers. On the three lowest stories, the main piers are clad with dark brick framing a center section of lighter, undulating brick. The dark brick stops at the spandrel level of the third story, where it also projects slightly, with a different brick pattern. In two of these sections, the brick has been repaired with brick and repointing mortar which does not match the original in color. Center Section - The pier and window arrangement continues straight up through the building, with two sets of double windows meeting at each corner, uninterrupted by piers. Above the third story, the ten bays are separated by large, continuous piers faced in pale tan brick set in an undulating pattern. Within the eight other bays narrow, flat continuous brick piers separate the two windows located there. A few windows have been boarded up, and those on the eighteenth and twenty-seventh stories have been replaced. Most are original, metal sash, double-hung, four-overfour windows with only horizontal mullions. At the corners, the two windows which meet have fixed sash, separated into four horizontal sections. At the time of designation several additional windows on upper stories were being replaced. The spandrels between most floors are faced in dark brick, framed at the top and bottom by a light-colored brick. Top -Above the tenth story, the facade steps back one bay on the Washington Street corner. There is another one-bay set-back above the sixteenth story at this corner also. Above the twenty-first story, set-backs occur on both the Washington and the West Street corners. Further set-backs on all corners are also located above the twenty-sixth, twenty-ninth, and thirtieth stories. The twenty-first and twenty-sixth stories are given added emphasis by parapets with a distinctive brick pattern, and (at the twenty-first story) finials which finish each main pier. On these parapets, the bricks are laid in patterns and colors to indicate a series of vertical lines, either inset or projecting. Nearby, the brick is laid to simulate fabric draped around the finials and hanging down to the floors below. The spandrels of these upper stories have distinctive horizontal brick patterns as well. In addition, at the twenty-first and twenty-sixth stories, each corner has been truncated, creating a diagonal with a single bay. The building finishes occurs on this facade above the tenth story. with a single, flat-topped story, further recessed Another is located above the sixteenth story. After from the floor below. this they are the same as on the other facades. A small part of the southern elevation is visible West Street Facade from this side of the building. Approximately two This facade displays all of the same design and one-half bays of this elevation show on the features as have been described on the Morris Street facade. The ground story, recessed beneath lower stories, but this decreases as the building the arcade, has storefronts without a building sets back. These bays continue the same entrance. The setbacks on this facade occur only fenestration and ornamentation patterns found on above the twenty-first, twenty-sixth, twenty-ninth, the other facades.

girls swim wear Dennis Chong For Miss Singapore World 2011 - Swimwear Series bandeau bikinis

girls swim wear CELEBRATING ASIAN BEAUTY. Dennis Chong Photography for Miss Singapore World 2011 The Swim Wear Series. In collaboration with The Hair Secrets Studios, Singapore, I had the great pleasure of working with the 20 finalists for this year\'s Miss Singapore World pageant. The swim wear segment shoot was studio based, and pretty much emphasized on presence and poise. Had a great time coaching some of the girls a long the way as it is their first time doing such shoots. The swim wear series takes on a clean and streamlined approach and focus very much on the ladies themselves. So a lot has got to do with confidence and also how the girls will want to portray themselves. Some exudes certain charisma that really illuminates my camera, for which I felt proud of them! Swim wear shoot draws a fine line between sexy, and being waaay tooo sexy. My approach was to achieve an equilibrium of sensuality as well as personality. I hope I have done so!
