Piedmont and Northern...Yesterday and Today part ii
Originally a continuum on a single page, Mount Holly now serves as the demarcation point separating what is now a two page piece. In reality, the location also accomplishes this as a division of railroad ownership and operation. From just past the P&N depot east to Charlotte, the sector falls under the jurisdiction of CSX. From the depot area west to Gastonia, ownership is under the NCDOT who in turn leases it to an independent operator.
In the scope of the Piedmont and Northern.....Yesterday and Today, Part II resumes with the Mount Holly area moving westward to Gastonia. Included are the branches to Belmont and Spencer Mountain as well as the operations in the 21st century. Credits for both pages appear at the bottom of this page.

Onward Through Mount Holly
The P&N depot at Mount Holly was a forlorn structure when this 1989 photo was taken. Fortunately, the effort was made to restore it for other purposes. Image Marcus Toomey
The old Piedmont and Northern depot as it appears today. Still in use as a beauty shop and office space, it is situated at the railroad focal point in Mount Holly. It is one of a surprising number of reminders from this short line that still exist more than forty years after it was absorbed by the Seaboard Coast Line. Dan Robie 2012.
During the Family Lines era, Clinchfield power was a frequent visitor to the Mount Holly area. This 1978 image captures a coal train led by SD45-2 #3621 diverging from the Seaboard Coast Line main onto the P&N (also SCL at this date). The connection was added to enable coal trains from the Clinchfield to access the old Duke Power line to the Riverbend and Marshall power plants. Image Max Toomey.
For many years, Mount Holly generated freight revenue for the Piedmont and Northern related to textiles and general merchandise. Today, the former trackage now owned by CSX still hosts customers that create carloads of traffic. Most notable in scope is the traffic at Sodeyco and the Transflo facility eastward near Thrift and to Clariant on the Gaston side. Long ago as the most populated location between Charlotte and Gastonia, it was a strategic point for passenger and interurban business as commuters traveled to and from those two primary centers of commerce. The largest shipper here on the P&N was the Gaston Brick Company that existed until the early 1970s.

Belmont was served by the P&N via a branch that left the main on the west side of Mount Holly. The location has a place name that was listed in the timetables simply as Belmont Junction. This branch runs for 3.1 miles roughly paralleling Mount Holly-Belmont Road from Mount Holly to Belmont. A small section of the Belmont line has been reconstructed and is presently utilized for locomotive storage by the new P&N.

In its railroad heyday, Belmont was active passenger stop and hosted textile business that created traffic for the P&N. Not originally part of the 1912 construction of the railroad from Charlotte to Gastonia, the line to Belmont was built in 1916. Early industries at Belmont included Chronicle Mills, Majestic Mills Manufacturers, and the Cox Lumber Company.
Among the early textile shippers at Belmont was the Chronicle Mills. A single spur sufficed for all of its needs.
The largest manufacturer at Belmont during 1922 was the Majestic Mills Manufacturers. This company was in the cotton yarn business and was located in the industrial district situated along Charlotte Road.
There was an active connection with the Southern at Belmont and although out of service by the end of the 1970s, the connection remained until the mid- 1980s. It was during this time that the Norfolk Southern demolished the old Southern depot there. The P&N passenger depot remains having housed a museum and gift shops throughout the years.

A section of the Belmont branch is slated for conversion to a rail trail in the fall of 2013. Whether this timetable remains on schedule is uncertain due to political red tape and the NCDOT. Today, the section of track from Belmont Abbey College to the depot area is in dilapidated condition and is the area of the rail to trail conversion.

Along the Line
Even when the Piedmont and Northern reached its operational peak in terms of on line shippers, the region between Mount Holly and Lowell remained relatively sparse. Within this area were the junctions for Belmont and McAdenville but little existed excepting for the mainline. In accordance, there were fewer photographs taken of the railroad in this sector---in fact, they are quite scarce. Rail photographers then concentrated on the areas of greater activity not unlike their modern counterparts do today.
This 1914 MyTopo map focuses on the region of the railroad between Mount Holly and Gastonia. The branches to McAdenville and Spencer Mountain were already in existence but notice the Belmont branch is not. It was constructed two years after the date of this map in 1916.
The most impressive bridge on the P&N is this combination truss/deck bridge which spans the South Fork River near McAdenville. Dan Robie 2015

Long before McAdenville became famous as "Christmas Town USA", it was a whistle stop for the Piedmont and Northern and the location of a small branch that ran directly to town to serve McAden Mills which later became Stowe Mill. Today, it is known as Pharr Mills. The old P&N depot at McAdenville still exists although now relocated from its original location. The branch line was removed during the 1950s once passenger service ceased and scant evidence of its existence remains today. New construction near Interstate 85 removed the original right of way and it appears that Willow Street in McAdenville has utilized the old roadbed as well. The mainline passes on the outskirts of town and the location from which the spur to town connected to the
main was called McAdenville Junction. This area is also referred to McAdenville along the railroad which crosses the South Fork Catawba River in the vicinity. Textiles were also a major part of the landscape in the Lowell area. Lowell was large enough to warrant a depot which served interurban traffic but this structure, like many others, has passed into history.

At first glance the community of Lowell could give the impression that it was simply an intermediary stop between the commercial centers of Charlotte and Gastonia. And it did host a P&N passenger station in addition to the prominent passage of the Southern Railway main line. But Lowell was a site for the conspicuous textile industry in its own right. For years, the Lowell Mills (two plants) and the Peerless Cotton Yarn Mill provided carloads for both the P&N and Southern Railway on a unique configuration of spurs shared by both roads.
This 1922 Sanborn map depicting the heart of Lowell offers detail of a layout nearly a century ago. Three mills dominate the scene and the intricate trackage of the Southern and P&N that served them. At the upper right is the P&N depot location at Lowell. The Lowell Mill #1 and #2 along with the Peerless Cotton Yarn Mill were but a microcosm of the textile industry in the region. So much industry and jobs, textile and otherwise, that this country once possessed now gone forever.

Spencer Mountain and East Gastonia
Ranlo was once the junction for a 1.5 mile branch that ran to Spencer Mountain. This line was constructed in 1916 and ran to a rock quarry that was located at the base of the mountain. Plans were proposed to extend the line into the town of Spencer Mountain to serve a mill but this did not become a reality. The branch diverged from the P&N main at Ranlo then became adjacent street track on Front Street (Spencer Mountain Road today). Two Rex Mills plants were built along the spur, however, and were still active into at least the 1950s. The branch line itself remained in service lasting into the mid-1980s during the Seaboard Coast Line era. It was eventually removed by the early CSXT era and traces of the right of way are still visible parallel to Spencer Mountain Road.

Today, Ranlo is the home base for Patriot Rail locomotives on the new P&N. On a curious note, just as the former P&N parallels CSX between Charlotte and Mount Holly, the section from Lowell to Gastonia does likewise with the Norfolk Southern.

The year is 1961 and Interstate 85 is under construction near Gastonia. The P&N is building a permanent crossing of the highway and meanwhile, in the background, a temporary "shoo-fly" structure is in use. Within a few years, the Interstate highway system would not only adversely affect the P&N but railroads on a large scale across America as freight left the rails for the asphalt.

"As brick masons from the J. A. Jones Construction Company of Charlotte were completing the freight and passenger depots at the southeast corner of East Main Avenue and Broad Street, the "interurban," as it was called, made its first run from Charlotte on May 21, 1912 to a temporary station at the Modena Street Crossing. This inaugural train was filled with 150 dignitaries, railroad officials, and local businessmen. The tracks had not yet tunneled under the Southern Railway main line. This tunneling would be necessary for trains to reach the freight and passenger station and to connect with the single track down the center of Franklin Avenue, which carried both the local streetcars and freight trains."--VintageGastonia.com
During its economic peak at the zenith of the textile industry, Gastonia was among the largest such centers of commerce in America. Textile and cotton mills populated the city at all quadrants served by three railroads forming the economic base for the region. In reference to the subject matter here, the Piedmont and Northern Railway, its limited access but power packed shipping base included a number of these mills that it served exclusively or in conjunction with the Southern Railway. A partial list of the early period textile businesses served by the P&N includes the following: Loray Mills (later Firestone Mills), Parkdale Mills, Gray Manufacturing Cotton Mill, Trenton Mills, Groves Mill, and the Central Yarn and Dye Company. Although textiles was the primary industry, others not pertaining to it were also on the P&N shipper ledger. These businesses included the Cocker Machine Works, Peoples Bonded Warehouse, Adams Ice and Coal Company, Swift and Company Meat Warehouse, and the Texas Oil Company. Positioned at town center with interchange connections to both the Southern Railway and the Carolina and Northwestern Railway was the P&N freight station that served businesses beyond rail connections.
Visually speaking and from a rail enthusiast standpoint, the P&N trackage within the city of Gastonia was perhaps the most intriguing. Once the line passed beneath the Southern Railway mainline, the right of way traversed a residential district and turned onto Franklin Avenue. From this point at the intersection of Franklin Avenue and Chestnut Street, the P&N became a street railroad with the track in the asphalt running the length of Franklin Avenue to the area of Bessemer City Road. At its end, the line split into two spurs serving Gray Manufacturing Cotton Mill on West Overman Street and Parkdale Mills on Parkdale Avenue during the first half of the 1900s. Various spurs branched from the Franklin Avenue line to the serve textile and other mills during the heyday of the industry.
A 1922 Sanborn map that centers on the downtown sector of Gastonia with Franklin Ave and the street track. As this is only the main line (highlighted in yellow), numerous spurs branched off this section of railroad that are not indicated at this scale.
At first impression, it may be surprising that the bulk of the Piedmont and Northern freight tonnage derived from coal and coke. But when it is taken into consideration the scope of the textile industry that prevailed in Gastonia and the region in general, it is understandable. Coal was the primary means of generating power and virtually every mill of consequence contained a coal unloading trestle. These were also the peak years for the fuel and ice operations that accounted for a percentage of this tonnage as well.

At the intersection of Chestnut Avenue, a spur branched off to serve the Cocker Machine Works. The 1951 reroute when the Franklin Avenue track was abandoned for street widening has been added here in black. The new route passed by but did not serve Avon Mills.

Although certainly a nuisance for automobile traffic, the street trackage was ideal for the P&N interurban service. The route served a densely populated area of town and the depot was located along this stretch at the southeast corner of Franklin and Broad Street. This operation remained intact until after World War II. The final interurban runs occurred on September 21, 1948—a late date as interurbans go---and the Franklin Avenue widening project commenced circa 1950. When Franklin Avenue was widened, the railroad was abandoned within its right of way and relocated to its current configuration as it exists today. The line also crossed the Carolina & Northwestern Railway (a subsidiary of the Southern Railway) with a double diamond at the Broad Street and Franklin Avenue intersection.

The block bounded by North Broad on the west, East Main north, South Avon east, and East Franklin south contained an arrangement of railroad track as unique as any. Inside this block was the P&N depot, freight terminal, and Gastonia yard. In addition there was the connecting tracks to both the Southern and Carolina & Northwestern and a wye connecting the P&N and C&NW. This block managed to pack in residences and industry, too, such as the Texas Oil Company, Swift & Company, and a cotton warehouse.
Once the hub of Gastonia operations, the forlorn P&N depot at Gastonia as it appeared in 1985. Standing as a sentinel to a bygone bustling era, the building is obviously deteriorating with the windows boarded up. A real pity this structure could not have been renovated for use as a museum or another civic use. Sadly, it fell prey to the wrecking ball in 1995.

The heart of Gastonia in the heyday of the railroad. This 1922 Sanborn map captures the intricate trackage at city center featuring the multi-track Southern Railway, the north-south Carolina & Northwestern Railway, and the P&N terminal area. This would be a challenging yet fascinating track plan to recreate on a model railroad.
A look at the 1922 Sanborn map above at the center of Gastonia places into context the hub of railroad operation within the heart of the city. During its heyday from circa 1920 until the 1960s, this region bustled with industrial and railroad activity. Nary an idle moment was had with three railroads co-existing and movements 0n at least one at any given time. The railfan of yesteryear in Gastonia was treated to this non-stop action--the high profile Southern Railway main line with heavy density freight and passenger trains, textile and furniture laden traffic of the Carolina and Northwestern Railway on its route encompassing both Carolinas, and of course, the busy Piedmont and Northern Railway. P&N traffic was in plain view--the busy Gastonia freight and passenger terminals, switching activity at the textile mills and added to this, passenger and interurban movements. The zenith of the P&N in Gastonia was the early 20th century ebbing with the removal of the Franklin Avenue street trackage in 1951.

Gray Mills yet another textile mill in the city of Gastonia. This plant was served by a dual spur from both the P&N and the Southern Railway. This was relatively common with textile mills in proximity to both railroads.
The P&N decline in the Gastonia area, not unlike any other region of the country, began in earnest during the post-World War II years. With interurban service ending in 1948 and the subsequent removal of the street trackage on Franklin Avenue, this immediately reduced the number of customers served within Gastonia. It was also during this era that industry began consolidating and over the road trucks began taking the business once dominated by rail. With the passing of decades the rail business once served by the P&N had declined steadily. By the time that CSX had acquired what once was the P&N during the 1980s, the traffic from Mount Holly to Gastonia was in effect evaporated and resulted in its sale to the NCDOT in 1991.

In hindsight, the P&N presence in Gastonia peaked early--probably the 1920s. Once the railroad was constructed, there was simply no possibility for later expansion due to the Carolina and Northwestern Railway occupying the southeast/southwest sectors of the city. Of course, the Southern Railway commanded the north-south corridor preventing any development by the P&N in those directions. As noted earlier, the Southern used its powerful political lobby and influence to block the P&N from constructing south to connect its North and South Carolina Divisions. In effect, the railroad was landlocked in Gastonia. This was a marked contrast to Charlotte where the P&N continued to expand its customer base with the development of industrial parks until the early 1960s.

Until only a short few years ago, I knew very little about the Piedmont and Northern Railway. References to it were heard often at work but as to any significant amount of history, that aspect was non-existent. It was only after hearing a discussion about the road by fellow railfans that encouraged me to research the road and its history. This page is the result of that research along with some leg work and the privilege of conversing with fellow employees both active and retired who had connections to the road. Certainly not a comprehensive works by any measure but I hope the reader has found it informative.
From a personal standpoint, the P&N has become one of my favorite roads from history. It possessed a rich blend of charm, independence, and a uniqueness that distinguished it from most other railroads. The company was well managed--it had to be to survive as it did---competing on the same turf in the shadow of the Seaboard and Southern giants. It truly was a David coexisting with Goliaths. Another remarkable characteristic of P&N was that it retained its kinship to the communities it served while exhibiting keen foresight towards future growth. The times and trends changed but the company never shunned its small road persona.
21st Century P&N Operators-The Name Remains the Same
The potential for 21st century rail revival on the P&N has returned, however. Patriot Rail now (2013) operates the NCDOT owned Mount Holly-Gastonia section and it projects the railroad to be more than simply a return to the Piedmont and Northern in name only. Rail customers are needed---and if they can be attracted---will translate into business and jobs.
Patriot Rail--the "New" P&N

The old adage "it's hard to keep a good man down" might also apply to a once successful railroad stamped by time and memory. So it is with the Piedmont and Northern. Forty years after the 1969 merger with the Seaboard Coast Line, the name has been reincarnated to apply to a section of the railroad that once bore that name.
In December 2010, Patriot Rail, a holding company that operates several short line railroads in the United States, announced it had signed a 20-year agreement with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to operate the former 13 miles of P&N line between Mount Holly and Gastonia. The NCDOT had acquired the line from CSX in 1991 and for twenty years, the line lay dormant with track in place but in a state of disrepair.

After refurbishing the railroad with new rail and ties and the installation of crossing signals, the "new" P&N initiated test runs during the early 2012. Revenue service began shortly thereafter and at present, four active rail customers are now served in addition to locomotive storage. The former branch to Belmont has been partially rebuilt and the hope is for eventual return of business along this stretch of rail also. Also to the advantage of operation, the short line has a dual interchange with CSX at Mount Holly and the Norfolk Southern at Gastonia.

Statistics and trends indicate the future outlook of the Patriot Rail/P&N railroad is positive as the rail industry as a whole continues to prosper. The new P&N is headquartered at Gastonia.

2014 Update
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) announced in September that Patriot Rail opted not renew its lease of the Mount Holly-Gastonia trackage for 2015. The two shippers along the route will continue to be served until a new operator can be secured. Despite this change, Gaston County officials remain optimistic that the line will eventually attract additional shippers. Whoever takes over the operation in 2015, it remains to be seen whether the Piedmont and Northern name will be retained.
October 1, 2014: Here is a link to a byline that appeared in the September 28 Charlotte Observer and will remain here as long as it stays active. Some rather grandiose plans founded in optimism at this time.
July 30, 2015: Final day of operation under Patriot Rail. Iowa Pacific is reported to take over operation of the line. Simply changing the operator is not a cure all for this this piece of railroad. Hopefully, some dedicated effort will occur to generate additional online business moving forward. In addition, it appears the Piedmont and Northern name will not be retained---Iowa Pacific Holdings will operate here under the name Piedmont Railway, LLC.

a New Face
Effective August 1, 2015, operation of the Piedmont and Northern route passed from Patriot Rail to Iowa Pacific, LLC. The new company operates other short line railroads across the country and is among the most respected of many such enterprises. Iowa Pacific will face the same challenge that led to the vacancy by Patriot Rail---the need for shippers. It will take a cooperative effort by local governments, economic planners, and the railroad itself to ensure the long term success of the railroad. At the time of transition, Iowa Pacific listed the operational name of the route as the Piedmont Railway. Whether this reverts to Piedmont and Northern remains to be seen. As in regards to the railfan or historian, it will always be the P&N.
At the outset, Iowa Pacific leased GP60 #7144 from Norfolk Southern to commence operations until its own power could be transferred. In September, that power arrived on the property in the form of SLRG F40PH #456 and F40PH (actually a slug) #457. A rather unique and interesting choice of ex passenger power for use on a freight short line.
These F40PH locomotives make for visually striking power. With SLRG (San Luis and Rio Grande) reporting marks and obvious Rio Grande influence, they stand out in vivid contrast to the surroundings. Dan Robie 2015
Christmas Train
The Iowa Pacific has quickly created a positive atmosphere since taking over operation of the railroad in 2015. From a freight standpoint, there has already been a slight increase in carloads although several parties proactively must increase the traffic by luring in additional shippers. The line has promise if marketing can actively promote it. The railroad has quickly endeared itself to the railfan--and public---with its striking locomotives and running of a Christmas Train mere months into Iowa Pacific operation. Hopefully, this is a portent to prosperous and interactive times ahead.

January 2016 Excursion
If one were to wish to experience the atmosphere of the original Piedmont and Northern Railway era, a day spent along the railroad on January 30, 2016 would have provided a sampling. Sponsored through the parent company Iowa Pacific, the road operated two excursions from North Belmont via Mount Holly to Gastonia on a beautifully mild winter day. The road had operated excursions previously during the Christmas holiday season but the highlight of these trips was the trains taking passengers into the heart of Gastonia----the first since 1951. In reality, this possibly was the first time passengers arrived in Gastonia on the P&N as it is configured now. It was also 1951---the year that the road discontinued passenger service---that the street track in Franklin Avenue was removed and realigned north of the street to the Gastonia depot/yard and connections to the Southern and Carolina & Northwestern Railways.

Although the Mount Holly-Gastonia excursions were roughly a 10 mile or so affair, it had an ambience of a longer distance trip. Perhaps it was the tenure of each trip---approximately three hours---in conjunction with the trains passing through different communities. The trips included photo run-by opportunities for the passengers and punctuating the excursions with an exclamation point, a thirty minute layover at Gastonia featuring a food and/or refreshment stop at locally renowned Tony's Ice Cream Shop. This family owned and operated business is nearly as old as the Piedmont and Northern Railway itself. Dating to 1915, it has served generations of railroad and mill workers as well as the general public. My friends and co-workers from CSX---current and retired--- with connections to the original P&N and successive Seaboard Coast Line era gleefully reminisce about the stops at Tony's when working Gastonia.

Iowa Pacific in its early tenure as operator of the Piedmont and Northern has established serious momentum. It has quickly endeared itself to the public---most incognizant of its storied ancestry---and to the rail historian and enthusiast. If the operation can continue to expand with a steady customer base while simultaneously operating excursions, it will mean a mutually winning situation for all. Perhaps it can further pay homage to the original P&N with a locomotive painted to reflect that bygone era.

During July 2016, the F40P locomotive set was involved in a grade crossing accident and subsequently taken out of service. As a result, the P&N leased power from Norfolk Southern which consisted of a GP60 and later in year, a MP15E. The P&N also used a SD50-2 on loan from CSX. During the interim, an order was placed for two SLRG F7As that wore the paint of the Lehigh Valley.
Used for freight operations, NS MP15E #2394 also served as the Christmas train power in 2016. Pictured here at Ranlo with Christmas train and CSX SD50-2 #8587. Image by Matt Robie

There was initially a slight hope that these locomotives would arrive in time for the Christmas excursion trains. Unfortunately, it was in December when they arrived and upon inspection, were found to have mechanical defects. By the end of the year the decision was rendered to send the F7As to Iowa Pacific shops in Grenada, MS for repair. Although the locomotives never turned a wheel in revenue service on the P&N, they proved to be magnets for photographers.

2017-Another New Operator
In spite of its visibility in the community and railfan circles, the Iowa Pacific operational tenure of the P&N proved all to brief. The company operated at a loss that existing business or special excursions could not offset. Whether the additional business was not there or marketing failed to create shippers anew, the decision was made not to renew the NCDOT lease on the P&N in 2017. With the departure of the Iowa Pacific, a short lived era of railroad enthusiasm concerning the line also perished. For two years, the railroad was in the public eye with its railfan-friendly cooperation and special excursions which will be recalled with fondness.
The newest operator to step in was Progressive Rail, Inc., a holding company that operates small railroads at various locations across the United States. It began operations in 2017 with the intention of creating a profitable railroad despite its short 14 mile length. It was also announced that it would explore the possibility of excursion trains although not committing with absolute certainty.

This gives you a reason as to why you should consider drinking blueberry flavored water.
Blueberries are classified among the top natural antioxidants. The antioxidant aspect of these fruits comes from polyphenolic anthocyanidin compounds which include tannins, chlogenic acids, myricetin, kaempferol and quercetin. They also have other antioxidants such as lutein, carotene-ß and zea-xanthin. All these compounds come together and get rid of oxygen derived free radicles that are harmful from the body.

Author of numerous books on international performance cultures, including three studies of the work of Antonin Artaud (most recently, on the final notebooks: Artaud: Terminal Curses, 2008), and books on the Japanese performer/theorist Tatsumi Hijikata, on the work of Jean Genet, and on the films of the Vienna Action Group's performances. He has also published many books on urban cultures in relation to performance, film, photography and digital art; his most recent book (2012) is on the personal archive of the moving-image pioneer, Eadweard Muybridge. The Times newspaper in London called his books 'brilliant, profound and provocative', and The Independent newspaper described him as a 'writer of real distinction'. He has held posts at the California Institute of the Arts, Tokyo Keio University, IMEC in Paris, and was a Fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Program in 2006. He is currently Professor of Visual Culture at Kingston University in London.
My research project focuses upon an exploratory analysis of street-performance cultures in Berlin, spanning interrelated examinations of performance, urban space and the filmic documentation of performance. The project develops my previous research into performance cultures within an international framework, into the urban space of Berlin, and into the status of film as a documentational medium for representing performances, especially those of an ephemeral or fragile nature. My project's aim is to generate an experimental book which will, in part, map multiple histories of street-performance cultures in Berlin from 1895 to the contemporary moment, and will also explore how such cultures are archived, remembered and abandoned. My corpus of street-performance culture is an intentionally wide one, and encompasses such manifestations as performance art staged in open spaces and urban wastelands, choreographic performances, demonstrations and protests with a performative or spectacular dimension, and performances by street-magicians. The project will examine the ways in which street-performance cultures—which may erupt and vanish in urban space within concentrated spans of time, and are often marked by momentary conjoinings of disparate cultures and strategies—become seminally sustained in memory through their documentational forms, and by filmic fragments above all. Street-performance within urban space forms a crossing-zone of interweaving in which the act of performance brings together amalgams of visual cultures, the recording and archiving of which create new configurations and traces of performance, as well as documenting processes with wider social and political dimensions.

Really ramp up how good you're feeling this spring by starting your day with a vitamin packed smoothie. All you need is a blender – although a gadget such as the Nutribullet will help to get a really well blended result, and will save on the washing up too.
Try to include at least the same quantity of raw leafy green vegetables, such as spinach or kale, as fruit in your smoothie in order to cut down on sugar and calories. You can often save money on soft fruit by buying it in bulk and freezing it, and the same goes for leafy vegetables. A handful of both can then just be added straight from the freezer, meaning nothing goes off or goes to waste.
Choose your liquid – good things to try are water, juice, yoghurt or almond or coconut milk – and add enough to make your smoothie the consistency that you are after.
Add milled seeds (such as linseed or chai), goji berries or some porridge oats for added goodness and to fill you up and give you more energy. How about a slice of fresh ginger for fragrancy and a detox? Also add ice, so that your smoothie is refreshingly chilled.


For our client GAZPROM and alongside the agency Triad Berlin, we created three seamlessly loopable 360°-projections called "Adventure Energy", showcasing the long journey our energy takes from its source to its destination.
This piece can be experienced in the adventure cinema at Europapark Rust. This is the second installment of these stunning and informative projections.

The LIDL supermarket in Pazin (Istria) has been built close to a very steep rock slope about 50 m high. The parking area is directly exposed to possible rock blocks fall.
Rockfall protection and rockfall mitigation are key elements in the security and safety of infrastructure, mine works, buildings or people. Even small rock falls, or debris flows can block infrastructure and can have far-reaching economic effects beyond the immediate disruption. For this reason, it was absolutely necessary to realize a strong and effective protection. Maccaferri's SteelGrid products are designed to protect public sites from rock falls. A local LIDL supermarket in Pazin, Croatia has decided to implement Steelgrid HR 30 PVC to assure the safety of visitors and customers. It is the best solution in term of durability and it complies with the prescription of the European Standard EN 10223-3.
Maccaferri Steelgrid HR 30 PVC was chosen to feature in this project given its high performance in term of tensile strength, punching resistance and durability. In total 5.500 m2 of Steelgrid HR 30 PVC were installed on the LIDL supermarket site. The easiness of installation makes Steelgrid HR 30 PVC also a remarkable solution for the installers.
The product has no equals in the market.

Q: I want to populate text box with dropdown selection with jquery I have a table compte with

*

*id

*login

*mail

*mobile

I want to display the login with a dropdown list and when the user selects login the mobile and the email should be displayed automatically in 2 text boxes based on his selection.
Can someone help or give me an example?

A: I am sure you are not expecting us to write the code from scratch , but looking for some steps how to achieve this
1)  Get All Login Column values from your Data Access layer (table/Cache) and Show that in a DropDown.
2) Listen to the change event of the Dropdown , in javascript. When the change event occurs, get the selected Item's value and Make an Ajax call to another Action method and pass the selected value of the Dropdown as a parameter of this method .The Action method should get the corresponding record from your table for this purticular login and return the result in JSON format to the client.
3) in the call back of your ajax method, Read the JSON and Set the value of the Text boxes.
$(function(){
    $("#LoginDropDown").change(function(){
      var val=$(this).val();

       $.getJSON("@Url.Action("GetDetails","Home")/"+val,function(data){
            if(data.Status=="Success")
            {
              $("#txtMail").val(data.Mail);
              $("#txtMobile").val(data.Mobile);
            }
        });
    });
});

Assuming your Action method Returns a JSON in this format.
{
    "Status": "Success",
    "Mail": "you@outlook.com",
    "Mobile": "242342344"
}

A way to take money Well there is Google checkout and Paypal, but why go through a third party?
I recall setting up a merchant account with a bank in Australia to take client's money. It was very painful, but doable. I wonder how it is in England or Europe. Do you have to setup a business? I think so. What other paperwork? Taxes? Argh!
Manage users User accounts, reputations, discounts, rewards, subscriptions, tariff plans, direct debit, billing, all that. It's complicated! Does any Web framework take care of that all? I don't think I've personally used a system where I am completely happy with the way I get billed. Ok, I must say Flickr is doing a great job of extorting money out of me.
Marketing I need some referer sub-application to help let existing users tell their friends about this great Web application. Ok, sending a email from a user to that user's friend is not terribly difficult to implement, though it can pose problems. For example I don't want to appear spammy. Also users that do refer other users need to be rewarded. Ok, that may go back under the manage users, but it's complicated. Ideally users can become your salesman, so you need a process to pay them money.
Mobile version OMG, had to throw this in there. A lot of companies seem to write Java ME apps for phones, which I think is nuts. I think one has to carefully test one's Web application with mobile UAs. This might help with usability testing and what not. The Web application has to be simple (KISS), which it wants to be. But it might make my Web application very dull (e.g. no images).
Introspection The blog post The Pinocchio Problem resonated with me. For example, I have great difficulty keeping track of my Web applications. Are they running? Are they performing? Are they under attack? Who is using it? Who has used it? I am not comfortable with this at all in my applications. I recall we had a logging system in a previous job with this horrible Jboss application that had to be turned off (on the live system) as it was making the entire system so slow. Hilarious!
Deployment Which provider? Where? Bandwidth charges? Which system? Which version? What httpd? What programming language? What framework? How is going to scale? How are you going to do backups? What happens if it goes down somewhere? A backup in another data centre? This is all also, you guessed it, really complex.


The Christian Quarter is one of four quarters of Jerusalem's Old City together with the Jewish, Muslim and Armenian Quarters. The Christian Quarter takes up the northwestern section of the Old City and can be accessed via the Damascus Gate, Jaffa Gate and New Gate. It is home to Christians of a number of denominations including Greek Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholics and Ethiopian Christians.

The Via Dolorosa starts in the Muslim Quarter and ends at the Holy Sepulchre which holds the last 5 Stations of the Cross. Lining the Via Dolorosa there are small churches.
The Greek Orthodox Church of St. John the Baptist has a crypt dating back to the 5th century and was used by the Crusader Hospitalliers; it is recognizable by its silver dome. The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer is one of two Protestant churches in the Old City built in 1898. Below the church is an archaeological site. The Church of St. Alexander Nevsky stands alongside the Holy Sepulchre and was built by the Russian Orthodox church in the 1800s and dedicated to Emperor Alexander III's patron saint, Alexander Nevsky.
There are two monasteries and two mosques within the Christian Quarter. One of the most popular tourist attractions in the Christian Quarter is the Muristan Market. You can find eateries, stores, hostels and hotels in the Christian Quarter all geared towards tourists and Christian pilgrims.

Q: FactoExtra is only extracting the first 5 dimensions I'm trying to use the get_mca_ind() function from FactoExtra to extract individual contributions to each dimension in an MCA (from FactoMiner package) so that I can use it in further analysis. Instead of getting info on all of the dimensions so I can decide how many I need (using i.e. the scree plot or some other threshold), I get only the first 5 Dimensions.
#this should get indiv data (coordinates, contributions, and cos2) from an MCA into a new variable called Reduced.

from new$contrib I expect to get a matrix with one row for each individual and one column for each dimension-- 68. Instead, I get a matrix with one row for each individual and one column for each of only the first 5 dimensions.
