New York State Construction Industry Booming
Comptroller: NYC Metropolitan Area Tops the Nation in Construction Employment
NYC Council Votes to Delay Compliance with NYC DOB Safety Education
The construction industry in New York State has set employment records for four consecutive years with New York City accounting for half of the state's construction job gains since 2010, according to a report released this week by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
In 2018, New York had the fourth-largest construction industry in the nation, following California, Texas, and Florida. The state added 91,600 construction jobs between 2010 and 2018, reaching a record of 398,400. This represents an increase of 30 percent, nearly twice as fast as job growth in the rest of the state's private sector.
Construction employment in the greater New York City metropolitan area totaled 409,100 in 2018, the highest in the nation, followed by Houston, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago. In addition to the five boroughs, the metropolitan region includes Long Island, the lower Hudson Valley and most of northern New Jersey.
The metropolitan areas in New York accounted for about 95 percent of the construction jobs in the State. Construction employment grew faster in the Kingston (43 percent), New York City (40 percent), Orange-Rockland-Westchester (39 percent) and Nassau-Suffolk (35 percent) areas than in the State (29 percent) between 2010 and 2018. In New York City, the construction industry added 45,300 jobs between 2010 and 2018, increasing by 40 percent.
This week, the New York City Council approved legislation (Introduction 1533, sponsored by Public Advocate Jumaane Williams) to delay the existing compliance dates for City-mandated safety education and training. Local Law 196 of 2017 requires that construction workers complete an Occupational Safety and Health Thirty-Hour Course (OSHA-30), Occupational Safety and Health Ten-Hour Course (OSHA-10) course with an additional 20 hours of safety training, or a 100-hour training program approved by the Department of Buildings.
The legislation passed this week would extend the deadline for these training requirements to December 1, 2019, and would allow the Department of Buildings (DOB) to further extend the deadline to June 1, 2020. The bill now goes to Mayor Bill de Blasio for consideration.
Construction was the fourth highest-paying employment sector in New York City, with an average salary of $80,200 in 2017 (latest available data). More than one-fifth (22 percent) of the workers earned more than $80,000.
The construction industry in the city had a much higher share of minority-owned firms (63 percent) than in the rest of the state (13 percent) and the nation (24 percent). Nearly two-thirds of the workers were Hispanic, African-American or Asian.
Immigrants held 59 percent of the construction jobs in New York City in 2017, higher than in the rest of the state (20 percent) and the nation (25 percent). Overall, the construction industry had the highest share of foreign-born workers of any sector in the city.

NYC Council Passes 17 Bills to Assist Tenants
The City Council this week passed 17 bills aimed at protecting the City's tenants. The legislation comes as the State Legislature is conducting public hearings across New York to hear from stakeholders regarding the State's rent control laws that expire next month.
"This legislative package seeks to prevent tenant displacement by giving them valuable tools to stay in their homes and in their communities," Council Speaker Corey Johnson said.
Meanwhile, the State Legislature is conducting statewide hearings on the State's rent control law which expires in June. The Assembly continued its set of public hearings this week, with meetings in Albany and Rochester. New York City stakeholders met last week. The Senate began its hearings Upstate, convening in Syracuse yesterday. The hearing docket moves to Brooklyn next week and concludes in Albany and Newburg the following week.
The City legislative package approved by the Council includes:
Introduction 59, sponsored by Council Member Robert E. Cornegy Jr, would require persons making buyout offers to make certain disclosures. This bill would also require the Department of Housing Preservation and Development to report on median asking rents and number of bedrooms.
Introduction 975, sponsored by Council Member Justin Brannan, would require the Department of Buildings to deny a building permit when a building of fewer than 35 units has an average of at least three open, immediately hazardous or major housing maintenance code violations.
Introduction 977, sponsored by Council Member Antonio Reynoso, would permit the Department of Buildings (DOB) to sanction registered design professionals who submit professionally certified applications for construction document approval within any 12-month period that contain errors that result in a stop work order.
Introduction 1107, sponsored by Council Member Helen Rosenthal, would shift the responsibility of retaining a design professional to prepare a tenant protection plan from building owners to contractors.
Introduction 1241, sponsored by Council Member Alicka Ampry-Samuel, would expand penalties for violating the Department of Buildings' professional certification program to apply to the offending professional's supervisor as well as the professional personally.
Introduction 1247, sponsored by Council Member Fernando Cabrera, would require owners of residential buildings to provide copies of any notice of violation issued against a property to the residents of that property.
Introduction 1257, sponsored by Council Member Robert E. Cornegy Jr, would require the Department of Buildings (DOB) to issue a stop work order if an inspector is unable to gain access to a construction site and has reason to believe that work is being done in violation of the law.
Introduction 1274, sponsored by Council Member Mark Levine, would require owners of multiple dwellings to obtain the previous four years rent history from the department of housing and community renewal for each dwelling unit, if available, and provide such information to the current tenant of each such dwelling unit.
Introduction 1275, sponsored by Council Member Keith Powers, would deny permits for 1 year for a building following a determination that a false statement about the occupancy status was made on a construction application for that building.
Introduction 1277, sponsored by Council Member Alicka Ampry-Samuel, would require the Department of Buildings to perform preliminary inspections to verify the occupancy status of purportedly unoccupied buildings undergoing construction.
Introduction 1278, sponsored by Council Member Carlina Rivera, would require the Department of Buildings to approve Tenant Protection Plans prior to construction and periodically inspect construction sites to ensure compliance with approved Tenant Protection Plans.
Introduction 1280, sponsored by Council Member Helen Rosenthal, would require that construction documents for alterations contain a statement signed by the owner and applicant identifying any occupied units in the building. The bill would also establish specific civil and criminal penalties for submitting false information to obtain a building permit of no less than $10,000 for the first offense, and no less than $25,000 for each subsequent offense.
State Lawmakers Reach Agreement on School Bus Camera Bill
State Legislators have reached an agreement on proposal to add cameras to the exteriors of school buses in an effort to crack down on drivers who illegally pass stopped buses. Sponsored by Senator Tim Kennedy and Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli (S4524B/A4950B0), the legislation is expected to pass next week.
The legislation allows for counties to opt in to a demonstration program that would allow municipalities to install and operate school bus photo violation monitoring systems (stationary or mobile), which could be installed on school buses owned or operated by the school district. First offenses will be punished by a $250 fine, repeat offenders will need to pay $275, and each subsequent violation will cost $300. The equipment will be paid for with the fines.
In a statement, Governor Andrew Cuomo voiced his support.
"The safety of our children is paramount, and we are committed to ensuring our youngest New Yorkers make it to and from school safely and that motorists who endanger these students are held accountable for their reckless actions," the Governor said. "I commend the Legislature for reaching an agreement on this critical issue and I look forward to seeing it passed and to signing it into law, making New York one of the first states to use this technology to protect the safety of our school children."
NY Faces Pipeline May 15th Deadline
By Zack Fink
The State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is facing a May 15th deadline in relation to the controversial Williams Pipeline proposal. The 24-mile pipeline, known as the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project, is contracted to supply National Grid customers on Long Island and New York City. The Northeast Supply Enhancement project still needs state water quality certificate approvals from both New Jersey and New York. The deadline for a decision from New York is May 15 and New Jersey's is June 20.
"DEC is reviewing that, and that decision is in the hands of DEC," Governor Andrew Cuomo said in responding to questions this week, according to published reports.
National Grid asserts that it may be forced to declare a moratorium on new gas service if the pipeline is not approved. The Association for a Better Long Island, the Long Island Builders Institute, New York State Laborers' Union and SEIU 1199 have come out in support. However, the project faces opposition from environmental groups and lawmakers in both New York and New Jersey. Opponents have raised concerns about the emissions impacts of the added gas supply from the pipeline.
State Lawmakers Plan Hearing on Single Payer Health Plan
State lawmakers will hold a public hearing on May 28th in Albany on the New York Health Act, a bill that would create a system of single-payer health care. The hearing will be led by Senator Gustavo Rivera and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried.
The hearing will allow the Legislature to assess the creation of a single-payer health care program, which supporters say will ultimately lead to a more cost-efficient delivery system for insurance. The Realities of Single Payer, a coalition of business groups and labor unions opposed to the plan, has raised concerns with the legislation.
Mayor de Blasio Unveils NYC Care Card, Details Progress Toward Launch of Guaranteed Health Care
Mayor Bill de Blasio this week unveiled the NYC Care card, "the key" to his plan to provide guaranteed health care to an estimated 300,000 New Yorkers who are ineligible for insurance. NYC Care launches in the Bronx on August 1, and residents will be able to use their NYC Care Card to receive their own doctor, get preventative screenings and tests, and connect to a 24/7 service to help make appointments.
The $100 million program – one of two major components of the City's Guaranteed Care commitment – will be fully implemented across all five boroughs by the end of 2020. To prepare for the August 1st launch in the Bronx, NYC Health + Hospitals has doctors hired in the Bronx to serve approximately 10,000 patients expected to enroll in NYC Care in the first six months.
GetGoveredNYC, the City's health insurance outreach and enrollment initiative, has enrolled more than 19,000 New Yorkers into coverage in 2019, a 19 percent increase from the same time period last year.
NYC Expanding List of Crimes that Allow for ICE Cooperation
The de Blasio Administration is expanding the list of crimes that trigger cooperation with federal immigration authorities, according to published reports. Specifically, the city plans to add seven infractions to the current 170-crime list, including felonies such as patronizing a minor for prostitution, patronizing a person for prostitution in a school zone, and the sex trafficking of a child.
As part of its status as a "sanctuary city," the City maintains a list of approximately170 crimes that — when committed within the last five years by someone suspected of violating federal immigration statutes — prompts local law enforcement to work with either the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Department of Corrections or the NYPD notifies federal authorities when someone can be arrested upon release from local custody.
"This minor administrative update aligns our local laws regarding federal detainer requests with serious or violent felonies recently adopted by the state legislature," according to a statement released by the Mayor's office. All seven crimes were created by the State after the City initially limited its cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
The Legislature is in session from Monday May 13th to Wednesday May 15th

Typhoon-concerned Vietnam evacuates over 200,000 people
Vietnam was evacuating more than 200,000 people in its coastal localities where typhoon Damrey was forecast to sweep over, a local official told.
Over 121,000 people in northern Nam Dinh province, 76,000 others in northern Thanh Hoa province, and 9,000 in central Nghe An province, mostly children, women and the elderly, were being evacuated to solid schools, offices, and private houses, said Do Ngoc Thien, vice head of the Central Steering Committee on Flood and Storm Prevention.
Meanwhile, several thousands of others were mobilized to consolidate important dike segments along the coast and rivers, he said.
The typhoon, whose wind speed reached 118-133 kilometers per hour, has been the strongest in Vietnam so far this year, the National Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting Center reported.
The center said that Damrey, which should strike coastal areas from northern Quang Ninh province to central Thua Thien Hue province on Monday, will cause torrential rains in Vietnam's northern and central localities on Monday afternoon and Tuesday.
Last year, natural disasters killed 232 people and left 38 missing, injured 187 others, destroyed 4,200 houses and 3,000 hectares of rice, and killed over 2,000 cattle and 170,000 poultry in Vietnam, Xinhua reports.

The Pittsburgh Pirates open a three-game home series tonight as they welcome the Chicago Cubs to PNC Park. A.J. Burnett (2-2, 4.78 ERA) will take the mound for the Pirates, and he'll be facing off against the Cubs' Ryan Dempster (0-2, 2.28 ERA).
Pittsburgh has won each of Burnett's last three starts, as he's generally settled down since giving up 12 runs in less than three innings against the Cardinals earlier this month. Burnett is sporting a 3.60 ERA in his last four starts against Chicago -- all of which he's won. Dempster, on the other hand, is 2-5 with a 5.93 ERA against Pittsburgh since 2010.
The Cubs have a National League-worst record of 15-29, and they've lost their last nine games. Pittsburgh comes into this one with a 20-24 mark.
The game starts at 7:05 p.m. and will be shown on Root Sports.

Simon Strick argues opposed to a universalism of ache and as an alternative foregrounds the intimate family of physically impact with racial and gender politics.

Dr. Altha Stewart, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, is the first first African American slated to become president of the American Psychiatric Association, which traces its roots to 1844.
Congratulations poured in Tuesday as news spread that the national association's membership, which includes more than 37,000 physicians, had elected Stewart to become the next president-elect, beginning in May. Her year as president begins in May 2018.
Stewart's election is unofficial until confirmed by the association's board in March. The current president-elect, Dr. Anita Everett, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, becomes president at the end of the association's annual meeting this coming May. Everett will succeed Dr. Maria Oquendo, professor and chairman of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania.
"It's a very historic election," Stewart said. "It is the first time that an African American will serve as president of this national organization and also the first time that the succession to presidency includes three women in a row."
At UTHSC, Stewart is director of the College of Medicine's Center for Health in Justice Involved Youth, which she was recruited to form in 2015, and the psychiatry department's chief of social and community psychiatry. A psychiatrist previously working for the Shelby County Public Defender's Office, she's working to improve services in Shelby County and statewide for youths with behavioral health needs who land in the juvenile justice system.
A study found that 60 percent of children in Shelby County in the juvenile justice system need additional mental health services, she said. Putting a spotlight on the role that childhood trauma plays is one of her goals.
"We are on a mission to educate this community about trauma, its effects on the overall health and well being of our community, and we are not going to stop until we complete that," Stewart said.
A native Memphian, Stewart went to public schools including Florida Elementary and Carver High School, graduated from Sacred Heart Catholic High School for girls and was in the first class of young women in 1970 at Christian Brothers University, Stewart said. She went to medical school at Temple University.
Her career has included being New York City's commissioner of mental health, CEO of a children's psychiatric hospital in New York, and managing one of the country's largest public health system's in Detroit, she said.
When her term begins as president of the APA, championing useful and effective collaborations among medical colleagues outside of psychiatry, engaging in dialogue and collaborations with consumers and advocacy groups and nurturing the next generation of psychiatrists are her top goals.
The field of psychiatry is undergoing a major transformation with rising importance of biology and medications while patients become much more involved in their own treatment, said Stewart, who has held other leadership positions in the APA and has served as president of the Association of Women Psychiatrists as well as the Black Psychiatrists of America.
"We're at a pivotal time in psychiatry in the world, but specifically here in the United States," she said.


Sheffield bought three early Leyland Olympics in 1951 and followed up two years later by the acquisition of this former Demonstrator. It put in a good service life lasting until 1968 when it was sold to Dodd, (Dealer) in Dromera, Ireland. I wonder if it found a buyer or whether it was scrapped? The bus was originally fleet number 211 being renumbered as shown in the 1967 scheme. This photo was taken on 10th June 1967 at the Hillsborough terminus of the 31 Lower Walkley service which was characterised by narrow streets and steep hills.
I think I remember these in Sheffield: were they the "integral" versions? Some had an Olympic torch badge on the front, I think. They always seemed high-floored (the opposite to what you could expect) and a bit awkward, but presumably suited the route.
From 1952 until 1956 I lived on the 31 and travelled on these and the back loader Royal Tigers. This is now a terminus for Stagecoach 52 and is also close to where the Malin Bridge branch leaves the main Supertram line to Middlewood.
Can anyone tell me what size engine were in these Olympics please. I believe the King Alfred Olympic that is currently being restored and nearing completion was rescued from Ireland. I always thought it was a great shame that one of the Halifax Corporation Worldmasters were not saved for preservation especially fleet No1 – KCP 1 what a great registration number! Two of these vehicles ended up in Ireland with Keneallys coaches.
The Olympic was the integral predecessor of the Royal Tiger and shared all the same mechanical units – including the 9.8 litre 0.600. They were high floored and probably awkward – but what else would you expect of an early underfloor vehicle? [The open backed Royal Tigers 222/223 were even more awkward.] As for suiting the route, they only suited it for the operator (dimensions and power for a hilly route) certainly not passenger friendly – especially the aged and infirm. Passenger comfort only became a priority from about ten years later when technology and new designs allowed it.
Yes- they looked like the ugly sisters in the sixties- especially as you say, the Tiger rear loaders. My point is that I assume in an integral bus you are not fixing a body to a one-size-fits-all chassis and could therefore make some allowance for the passengers… or what's the point (I think that was the problem- there wasn't one…?… or was weight reduced?) What were the advantages? You were presumably stuck with the basics of the original body for good?
Modern integral buses are monocoque, just like cars (which also used to have separate bodies/chassis)and, I think, are almost universal nowadays. You're right, though, Joe, you picks your body length, they bold on all the mechanicals and you're stuck with it. London Transport's tram/trolleybus department, separate from its bus department, created integral trolleybuses around 1937, using several companies to build them, including Brush and Leyland. Strange how long it took for this system to begin to become popular, around the time when Olympics were coming off the lines and said trolleybuses were starting to go to the scrapyard!
Leeds single deck requirements were few in post war years indeed they only bought 10 saloons in the fifties but managed to have three chassis types! These were 5 AEC Reliances 3 Leyland Tiger Cub and a pair of Guy Arab LUFs. All had the same body layout which was B34C + 14 crush load standees in a central vestibule opposite the doors. Like Sheffield's Royal Tigers the steps were vertiginous and deep most off putting for intending passengers. Getting a push chair aboard was a major logistical exercise! The overall body shape was common to all ten but the final pair of Reliances had a more upright profile. They were mainly confined to two routes one of which passed under a low bridge and another which crossed the canal on abridge with weight restrictions.
Just wait until someone discovers the advantages of "demountable" bus bodies: bodies can be changed or swapped on a "chassis", giving greater flexibility, more opportunities for upgrading, and cutting service times. Why didn't anyone think of that before?
1904 is beyond most people's memories, Joe.
There were demountable bodies in the early twenties, Joe, although they were usually in the form of exchangeable lorry/charabanc bodies. It never carried over, though into exchangeable bus bodies, to my knowledge, at least, not in a big way.
Nice one, Joe. However, the idea of demountable bodies does actually go back a long way. Maidstone and District started in 1911 with three Gilford chassis; these had bus bodies during the day which were changed for lorry bodies at night. I believe the lorries were used to carry vegetables to and from Covent Garden. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples elsewhere, too.
No doubt David is right when he talks about weight saving being a factor in the development of integrals, but I rather suspect that other motives in early post-war attempts were to use parts from pre-war chassis, and to generate extra work for the maker. Beadle, of course, were prominent in this field; others included Harrington and Saunders-Roe.
I remember this bus from my student days and wondered why there was an odd one with a Surrey registration.
It would have demonstrated for Weymann, who were based at Addlestone. Evidently it was never fitted with standard Sheffield blinds. I never rode on the 31 although I had "digs" near Crookes on the 52 route.
The open-platform Royal Tigers used on the same route looked odd and a bit reminiscent of Edinburgh; I think the local Inspectorate had something to say about the arrangement.
Yes, Geoff, there were responsible for the fitting of the odd looking emergency door at the rear – NEXT to an open rear platform!
Roy, what said is true but Weymann and Park Royal never did a Beadle with second-hand parts.
I type this about my home town of Sheffield from two miles up the hill from Addlestone. Funny old world.
And I, a Surrey-ite, who long ago moved away, still visit my brother in Ottershaw, just across the M25 from you, David. Incidentally, whatever happened to Weymann's works? I assume it no longer exists.
Well, for the initiated Chris, I'm typing IN Ottershaw itself! [Funny AND small world.] Until I retired a year or two back, I passed it on the way to school – St George's College – but ever since the turn of the millennium it has been a deserted, speculative, office block awaiting tenants. All glass and security guards with nothing to do! You must know that Addlestone Garage is a gated development (yes, in Addlestone) and the Co-op long ago made way for Tescos.
A remarkable coincidence, indeed, David!
Pardon my irony when I say that the changes you mention pass, nowadays, as progress. The supreme one, though, is the gated development!
My abiding memory of Ottershaw is the Aldershot & District Dennis Lances passing by to and from Woking and the occasional ride on them as part of my journey from Portsmouth by rail.
Lovely buses. The whole area was a hotchpotch between London Transport and A&D and you could never be sure what company's bus would pop out from some side turning.
Also, Ottershaw was the last/first telephone exchange in the London Area and I would use a callbox there to make calls to my London relatives at local call rates. Some would say miserly, I call it 'being careful'! Happy days.
You could have been a Yorkshireman!!!
One of the benefits of the open platforms was that passengers could "hop off" whilst the vehicle was approaching the stop, preventing the driver having to do steep hill starts. The conductor would be ready with his finger on the bell to let the driver know he did not have to stop. No H&S in those days, conductors encouraged it. I got very good at jumping off buses coming up Haymarket to turn right up high street on my way home from school. I believe that is why London kept the Routemasters so long, people could hop on & off where they liked, speeding journey times.
Is that Haymarket, Sheffield, Andy?
While the subject of bell-ringing comes up (not campanology, silly!) I recall, post-war, the LT conductors giving three rings to signify to the driver that the bus was full up and he could ignore queues at future stops until some passengers got off. Standing was unlimited post-war, I seem to recall, or the limit was ignored, then became eight, and eventually five. Admittedly, buses engines/brakes are more powerful (the latter more vicious, too!) but it was amazing how much more fluid passenger movement was then. They moved around the vehicle, up and down stairs and got on/off the platform effortlessly 'whilst the bus was in motion', moved around the vehicle. Despite my advanced years, I'm still fit, yet wouldn't do those things now, apart from moving to the exit before the bus stops and that with great care and a tight grip on stanchions!
I used to love travelling on worn-out LT/ST's, overloaded beyond belief. Juddering clutches, slow acceleration in waves, the vehicle leaning alarmingly round any corner. Despite all that so-called gentleness, an aunt of mine failed to stop me, as a baby, from falling out of her arms when she was climbing the open staircase of an LT and being caught by a surprised man, unharmed, so they say! Some of you might regret this, boring you with such tales!
Regarding the bells, I was a conductor in Sheffield, with a good driver you became a good team and could trust each other, so not just quick bells for passengers getting off but when the last passenger had one foot on the platform and one hand on the pole it was ding ding, if in doubt assist them on with their spare arm. Yes for us three bells was full up and a shower of bells was emergency stop. We didn't like the passengers using the bell because it sometimes confused things, we preferred the request of next stop please verbally.
I took this photo as I have previously said on a trip to the Fishwick depot at Leyland in Lancashire considering there location it is hardly surprising what vehicles they favoured. There livery was and probable still is a Moss Green and Dark Green which was different but quite nice. Practically all there service routes are local and either start, finish or go through Leyland I think the longer distance routes in the area will be handled by Stagecoach Ribble.
I have read somewhere that the Leyland Olympic and the Royal Tiger more or less began the end of the vertical front engine single decker bus, as the AEC Reliance came along three years later then the article could have a point. The Olympic was built in conjunction with the body builder Metro Cammell Weymann and I think most of them went overseas rather than the home market.
I actually e-mailed J Fishwick & Sons for any information of the above bus, as the company is one of a very few original operators still in existence, and they would have information going back to year dot. They did not even acknowledge receipt of my mail never mind supply information, shame really. The days must have gone when you could write and ask an operator for a fleet list and by return of post it arrived along with a sample set of bus tickets an the odd photo of there latest arrival. The credit crunch must be squeezing quite tight up in Leyland.
Hi, came across this picture searching around for Fishwick bus photo's, I am from the Leyland area and although I can't shed any light on this bus, I do have a picture of an almost identical Fishwicks bus taken last week at a bus rally in Leyland. As for the company, I am quite surprised you received no response from your email, Fishwicks seem to be quite keen on the history and tradition and always send a number of buses to local rallies and have a downloadable fleet list on their website. Anyway thanks for the picture.
When I was a lad of 16 years, I was an apprentice to the Jamaica Omnibus Company in Kingston Jamaica. This was in 1968 and the outgoing busses on the fleet at the time were the Leyland Olympic A, B, and C the "C" being the long chassis version. They were replaced with the "G" Busses. These were clutchless with pneumatic shift levers. This photo certainly brings back memories.
I have tried to email J Fishwick & Sons with regard to the single decker Leyland Olympian twice. I have been ignored by the company on both occasions. Apart from being amazingly ignorant or perhaps not very good at email can anybody tell me anything about them and especially the single decker Leyland Olympian 521 CTF. Do they still have the bus, is it still running? What do you know?
Edward, this is a video of the actual Leyland Olympian 521 CTF.
I went to school on Fishwick's buses 1959-1961, usually coming home on the 4.30PM Preston Fox Street to "Seven Stars via Croston Rosd" (actually service 115 but Fishwicks had no number displays in them days. It was regularly no.13, NTC 232 on the 4.30, usually full especially on market days, with a standing load, and people left behind. Passengers for Croston Road were rightly annoyed when Penwortham passengers were on, as they had the frequent "Earnshaw Bridge" bus (111). All other Croston Road buses were double deckers, but never this one.
Fishwicks had 8 Olympics, and 6 Olympians at this time, mostly for the Chorley routes under Pack Saddle Bridge, and the Bamber Bridge route along Shady Lane.
Apologies for digressing slightly but where did Bamber Bridge Motor Services fit into this picture? Was their route from Preston to Bamber Bridge exactly same as Fishwicks and if so was there a co-ordinated timetable? Did BBMS operate one route only?
Fishwick's Bamber Bridge route was today's service 117, but ran every 90 minutes then, all day incl evenings and Sundays, but went via Shady Lane before Clayton Brook village was expanded by Central Lancs New Town. As today it ran via Brownedge Road, so did not compete with BBMS. This service always displayed simply "Bamber Bridge" whichever way it was going, despite its destination being Preston or Leyland (Earnshaw Bridge).
BBMS just ran one service direct Preston (Starch House Square)-Bamber Bridge (Hob Inn), plus works services to Leyland and Lostock Hall, In its latter years one service deviated via Duddle Lane (service D), while the direct route became service P (via Pear Tree).
Olympian 521 CTF is preserved and appears at rallies, not sure who owns it.
Spent most of its life working 109 and 119 routes, but also worked regularly the Sunday morning Croston Road service, (115), 10.12 and 11.12 from Moss Side (Black Bull) to Preston (Fox Street), 10.43 and 11.43 return (Seven Stars via Croston Road), which service actually went beyond Seven Stars up Slater Lane terminating at the Black Bull, then back along Dunkirk Lane to Preston. There was no 12.12 service on a Sunday, but the 1.12PM service resumed with the regular Croston Road bus no.23, LTD 445, a PD2/1, and worked this run every hour until 11.0pm.
The last Olympic to survive was no 17, NTC 234, which was 21 years old when withdrawn, its regular job in its last days was the Vernons Mill to Earnshaw Bridge service, which needed a single decker to get through Factory Lane tunnel under the railway. In earlier days two Olympics together worked this job, such was demand, one just to Lostock Hall,the other working through to Earnshaw Bridge, as shown in the 111 timetable of the day.
521 CTF Leyland Olympian Single Decker was sold by Fishwick to a man called M.Hayes, Mark Hayes I believe.
He apparently has a private bus collection and does exhibit the bus. Does anybody know anything about him?
Yorkshire Woollen had a number of these buses. My wife was a clippie at Frost Hill at Liversedge and remembers these buses being on service 36 between Leeds and Elland. On one occasion a driver drove through very deep flood water quite fast and the water came up through the inspection floor boards.
I Found the 521 CTF Bus. It is in the British Commercial Vehicle Museum. I shall visit it this Spring. Thank You All.
It has been reported in the local media that the company went into administration Tuesday and the last service on the 111 route will be today.
A sad ending to a company that had high standards and delighted many of us over the years with the one off and unusual Buses that they operated.
The end of an era and a sad day for the Town of Leyland.
Very sad news about Fishwick & Sons. Another old-established and well-respected operator ceases to trade. Is there any indication about what happens to their services, most of which were run in conjunction with Ribble?
Philip – how interesting to read that your good lady was on the 36 route – in the early 1950s I used to travel on the nearly new Olympics from Leeds to the top of Wide Lane at Morley to visit a friend. That they were of "semi integral" or "chassisless" construction was obvious from the moment the driver pressed the starter as everything from floors to luggage racks and windows began to rattle and thud and the journeys were very uncomfortable – a great shame because they were handsome and lively vehicles, but there we are.
Cyril – what an awful piece of news you've had to break to us. Being a traditionalist myself, but fully accepting changes in the Industry, I have always held Fishwick's in the very highest esteem. Their colours, criticised by many as "dour", "drab" etc, are a tribute to unashamed dignity and smartness and the demise of the Company is a very sad loss indeed. Presumably and hopefully any staff so wishing will be accommodated by other operators in the area, while those sadly wanting to call it a day will be able to do so voluntarily.
I understand from the "Lancashire Evening Post" that Stagecoach are taking over the 111 service, but that the others will be subject to the tendering process.
Just picking up on a couple of points above.
Bernard P – it may have been that Fishwick's were not authorised to carry through passengers on the 117 service. Such restrictions were rife in the decades following Road Service Licensing (1930) and only began to be seriously eliminated with the so-called County Council 'agency agreements' of the late 1970s. Or Fishwicks may have found that it caused less confusion to passengers to do things the way they did.
Are you sure there didn't come a point on the route where the destination was changed to 'Earnshaw Bridge' or 'Preston'?
Pete D – I think you'll find that in recent decades the only route which was operated by both Fishwicks and Ribble (to a co-ordinated timetable) was the 109. The fact that most of the other routes were numbered in the Ribble series was a leftover from pre-deregulation days when services were technically 'joint' with Ribble (i.e. operated under a joint licence) even though Ribble may have never actually operated on particular routes.
This is how Pennine's Skipton to Malham service was service 211, in pre-deregulation days the services was 'joint' with Ribble, even though I don't think Ribble ever provided any vehicles. Funny thing is, I don't think Pennine vehicles carried route numbers until well after deregulation anyway!
There were lots and lots of services where Ribble had a stake, but didn't provide any vehicles, e.g. the 39 from 'Manchester' (actually Salford) to Liverpool, which was mainly (perhaps entirely) operated by LUT.
The converse applied too, the 130 (Bolton-Morecambe) was joint Ribble/Bolton Corporation, but Bolton didn't operate, instead they did the 122 (Bolton-Southport).
Further to the above, further reflection seems to say that the Malham service was 210, rather than 211.
A real shame to hear that Fishwick has gone under. There will be no question of Stagecoach maintaining the brand name, unlike the situation in Nottingham where the South Notts and Pathfinder brands continue in use as a positive marketing feature.
Birmingham City Transport also ran 5 Leyland Olympics. 4 where based at Selly Oak Depot, and one JOJ 261 was used on the Hall of Memory/Birmingham Airport service. This one was based near the city centre.
They were Leylands first under floor engined chassisless single deckers. I believe only 23 were built.
They where very high floored not easy to board for the elderly or disabled.
They where known to as Geeps by the staff at Selly Oak. I loved them, they were very lively and my first speeding caution was in one of them.

Q: How to check if exception is thrown in Integration Test with xUnit (.net core)? I wondering how can I create test (using xUnit in .NET Core 2.2 WebApi) to check if my API Endpoint throws particular exception.
This is what I have so far:
[Theory]
[InlineData("/values/sample")]
public async Task Sample_WhenCreatingInvalidSampleData_ThenExceptionIsThrown(string url)
{
    // given
    var command = new AddSampleCommand { Name = "test" };

    // when
    var httpResponse = await Client.PostAsJsonAsync(url, command);

    // then
    var stringResponse = await httpResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    stringResponse.ShouldContain("DomainException");
    stringResponse.ShouldContain("is not allowed");
}

It works fine, but I think my solution is a bad trick.
I did it because I can't catch this exception when is thrown I can only get httpResponse (which is html) then parse and ensure that contains exception name stringResponse.ShouldContain("DomainException"); and some exception message stringResponse.ShouldContain("is not allowed"); in this case.
I've no idea how can I do it in different way. Since it won't work
Should.Throw<DomainException>(() => Client.PostAsJsonAsync(url, command));

A: Accidentaly I have found solution :D not sure why it works but the most important it helped.
So I had to create my own Startup for tests
public class TestStartup : Startup
{
    public TestStartup(IConfiguration configuration) : base(configuration)
    {
    }
}

and I added TestStartup usage to CustomWebApplicationFactory and I added ApplicationPart from original app to configuration
public class CustomWebApplicationFactory<TTestStartup, TStartup> : WebApplicationFactory<TStartup>
    where TTestStartup: class
    where TStartup : class
{
    protected override IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder()
    {
        return WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(null)
            .UseStartup<TTestStartup>();
    }

    protected override void ConfigureWebHost(IWebHostBuilder builder)
    {
        builder.ConfigureServices(services =>
        {
            services.AddMvc().AddApplicationPart(typeof(TStartup).Assembly);

            // rest configuration
        }
    }
}

Thanks to that I can easily catch exception via Assertion or Should.Throw<DomainException>(() => Client.PostAsJsonAsync(url, command)); like i wanted to.

Angry Cleary hits out while confirming future
Ivan Cleary has reportedly made a decision on his future.
11th Aug 2018 10:18 AM
IVAN Cleary has hit out at "misinformation" around his coaching future on Saturday as he reaffirmed his commitment to see out his contract with the Wests Tigers after speculation Penrith wanted to recruit him.
Reading a prepared statement to the media this morning, an angry Cleary quashed talk about a return to the club he was sacked from three years ago, easing the fears of Tigers fans who have been bombarded with talk the Panthers were trying to lure him to the foot of the mountains in 2019.
Cleary is contracted to the Tigers until the end of 2020 but was linked with a move to Penrith after Anthony Griffin was axed just a month out from the finals. However, Cleary said when he was approached by the Panthers he had no idea it was about returning to the club to coach.
He said he had not received any former offer from Penrith and intended to honour his deal with the Tigers.
"I'm very disappointed with the amount of misinformation about me and my family this week," Cleary told reporters. "When the Panthers approached me I had no idea it was about coaching their club.
"I advised the Panthers of my ongoing contract status with the Wests Tigers.
"I was as surprised as anyone at the announcement of the dismissal of Anthony Griffin.
"I am enjoying my contribution at this club, the club is growing nicely, everyone associated with this club should be proud of this journey it's heading in.
"I intend to honour this contract."
Cameron Ciraldo has taken the reins as caretaker coach but Penrith's general manager of football Phil Gould revealed the club didn't have a definite replacement for Griffin next year.
Panthers chairman Dave O'Neill, a close friend of Cleary's, gauged his interest in returning to the club last week and the 47-year-old informed his bosses at the Tigers about the chat, reportedly saying he needed to think about his future.
Cleary gave no public indication he was contemplating a return to the foot of the mountains but that didn't stop the rumour mill going into overdrive that he could well be at the helm at Penrith in 2019.
Earlier in the week Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe and chairwoman Marina Go hit out at the Panthers. Go said pursuing a coach with two more years left to run on his contract was unethical, while Pascoe said Wests wouldn't be bullied into letting Cleary go without a fight.
Cleary is reportedly staying on the bus.
"We're not going to be pushed aside or bullied or railroaded by anyone," Pascoe said.
"This club, and myself, have to make decisions that are in the best interests of the Wests Tigers and, first and foremost, our fans, our members and our stakeholders.
"Giving our head coach to a rival club is not a decision that is in the best interest of the fans or stakeholders.
"I'm bitterly disappointed that a rival club has decided that it's appropriate practice to try and poach a coach with two-and-a-half years left on his contract.
"My message is very simple: Ivan has been a terrific coach, he has shown great character in what we're trying to build here and we are going to fight tooth and nail.
"This is a really strong, proud club with a lot of rich history and it's a very different club than what it was previously."
Although Gould denied it was a factor in Penrith's talks with Cleary, many believed the western Sydney club's desire to lure him back had plenty to do with his son Nathan, the Panthers' star halfback.
Nathan is off contract at the end of 2019 and the father-son duo have spoken openly about wanting to one day team up at an NRL club. By signing Ivan, the Panthers would greatly have increased the likelihood of Nathan - this year's NSW No. 7 - recommitting to the club on a long-term deal.
But with Ivan staying at the Tigers, they will be hopeful he may be able to convince his son to join him at the joint-venture club in the future.

Q: Colored Tabs missing in VS2022 17.3 (not preview) Here it is stated that...
Coloured tabs is supported in Visual Studio 2022. From release 17.1 Preview 2 we can now explicitly set the colour per project…

I should look like this:

I am using VS2022 Version 17.2.3, and I don't see this.
I see this instead:

I wonder what is happening here.
Is Version 17.2.3 perhaps older than the said 17.1 Preview 2?
Is it possible that 17.1 Preview 2 is used for active development and therefore newer than official newer versions? I just don't understand it.
Thanks.

A: I got it.
It's there, but it needs to be activated first:

And here it is German... I just couldn't find it in German language, so I had to switch language to English first in order to find it LOL.
Here it is in German:


Tonight's final game in the Stanley Cup playoffs may mark the end of hockey season, but next Friday, June 19 is another notable date for fans of our national sport. Research In Motion Ltd.'s CEO Jim Balsillie and his organization Make it Seven are having all kinds of promotions to rally support for an NHL team for Hamilton. One of the sponsors Balsillie has on his bench is none other than DeWalt.
"Our slogan is 'Guaranteed Tough,' so in that spirit we are pleased to help add some additional muscle to the 'Make It Seven' bid," said Dave Howe, President of DeWalt.
If DeWalt is the enforcer, what does that make Home Hardware?

2014 AL Wildcard Game
Well, that was a hell of a way to kick off the playoffs and/or end an almost three decade playoff drought. I still firmly maintain that the Royals won that game in spite of Ned Yost. Between the "Billy Butler Episode" where he tried some fancy base running with two of the slowest guys in the game and throwing a very young starter into the middle of the sixth inning, the Royals ship should have been sunk. But they pulled it out somehow. Here's my scorecard for the game.
Time Marches On
There comes a time when you have to admit that you are not a kid anymore.
Well, actually, that's not quite true. There are a series of moments that keep reminding of you of that fact. They are different for everyone. Everybody uses a different yardstick. Unsurprisingly, I tie a lot of the passage of time to sport, and last night was one of those moments.
I watched baseball before Derek Jeter broke into the big leagues in 1995. My earliest clear memory is of the Blue Jays-Phillies World Series, which was in 1993. That memory would peg me at seven years old. Which means I would have been nine when Derek Jeter made his debut with the Yankees.
Like it or not, the Yankees tend to define baseball. They demand the most attention in the nation's biggest media market,* they typically have the biggest names,** and they are just about always contenders.*** So, of course, their stars become the nation's stars, whether you can stand the Yankees or not. And that was certainly true of Derek Jeter.
*And quite possibly the biggest media market in the world, though I haven't researched that at all.
**Even if those names tend to be a bit long in the tooth.
***This is the first year in the Wild Card era that neither the Yankees or the Red Sox will be in the playoffs.
With his retirement, the debate about this defense has raged back and forth all over again, as it has his entire career. My take? He was a solid shortstop. Not the greatest, but much better than his detractors would suggest. Yes, he played with some flair, as his signature jump throw would suggest. And, yes, I would readily agree that most of that flair came about from having somewhat limited range as a shortstop. But the fact remains that he made those plays. Whether it looked as smooth (or routine, maybe) as an Omar Vizquel or somebody similar in their prime, the box score didn't change. 6-3, batter out.
I went through my Jeter-hating stage. Any confirmed Yankee hater would, especially in the late '90's when the Yankees were seemingly winning every year. But as the years have gone by, I have softened my stance on Jeter. You're not going to find me rooting for the Yankees anytime soon, but I have found nothing but respect for number two.*
*Yeah, he probably could have put a stop to all the merchandising of his retirement tour this year, and I wish he would have. But I can't blame him for it, either. It's the world we live in.
He has put in two decades of being the highest visibility player in the sport in a pretty savage media town. And what is the worst you ever heard about Jeter? That he sent his women gift baskets? Let me tell you, if that's the worst you can say about a guy, he's done pretty well. He has squeezed every last bit of opportunity and effort out of the talent he was graced with. He has approached the game with nothing but respect. He always plays hard. If he had just worn stirrups, he would be the perfect image of a baseball player.
And last night? Of course last night would end how it did. He has clearly been blessed as a ball player. Part of that comes from always playing in high profile spots, but I'll be damned if he didn't come through at the biggest times. He's not infallible, of course, but think of the stories you will tell about Jeter, especially if you have gotten to watch him from start to finish. The Flip. Mr. November. Busting his face in the stands against the Red Sox, Homering for his 3,000th hit. A bottom of the ninth walk-off hit in his final game in Yankee Stadium. You can dispute if "clutch" is really a thing or not all you want. All I know is seemingly every time a situation came up that you wouldn't dare put into a movie for being to fanciful, Jeter made it reality.
And, you know, even the way he got last night's walk-off was better than a scriptwriter would have come up with. A screenplay would want him to hit the ball over the fence to close the book. But a little inside-out slice into right field was far more in character for Jeter, as Grantland (somewhat psychically) pointed the other day. He has been a nearly-Gwynn-like machine about flipping the ball into the 3.5 hole.*
*To use a Gwynn-like term. As good as Jeter has been, though, I don't believe he is quite Tony Gwynn's level.
Baseball will miss Jeter. I will miss Jeter. As I've written here before, he is the first superstar baseball player I have gotten to watch from start to finish. And, you know, he did it the right way. Or, at least, the old fashioned way. And I have nothing but respect for him, and I have no choice but to respect his decision to call it a career at shortstop after last night. We'll get a few bonus at bats in Boston, sure. But as far as the storybook is concerned? I think we just reached The End.
Thank you, Jeter. I may not have always been your biggest fan, but you have made me into a bit of a convert.
A Quick Heads Up
I am briefly popping my head out of the ground for a quick update. There has been quite a bit of upheaval around Casa de Parrish recently, so my hiatus here has been a bit longer than planned.
First off, as far as scheduling is concerned, the current break should last through November. At this point, my usual break for NaNoWriMo is fast approaching, and it seems silly to get back into the habit of posting every day again just to stop a month later. So expect me back in December.
Now, as far as why things went so long. First off, the hockey book is on hiatus as well. It turns out there is next to no information on the Western Michigan Wolves and the early years of the Kalamazoo Wings on the internet, or even in the league office. This is not to say that this book will never be written, but it's going to take more digging than previously thought to make this book what it should be.
Why can't I dig as deeply or as quickly as thought? Well, that's because I'm finally free of bonds of contractual labor at Alcoa. After years of trying, I am finally a full-time Purdue employee. It has been quite a transition, but a nice one. It's kind of funny how it finally came about, so let me tell the story in full.
I've had different phone interviews with Purdue before, and countless applications sent in. I thought I had landed a job with Agriculture IT after two rounds of face-to-face interviews there which culminated in a ding letter mere hours after my father-in-law had a heart attack.* I hadn't had any serious action from Purdue since then until this summer.
*That was a banner day, let me tell you.
Back in June, I had a promising phone interview in connection with some software Purdue had developed. I would be, as I understood it, somewhere between a consultant and a support agent for this software. This phone interview led to an all-day in-person interview that ended with me giving a presentation on their software. After meeting what felt like everybody remotely connected to this software and then getting to tell the people that write, support, and "sell" this software about their own product, I was pretty fried, but confident. I made sure to stop by Harry's and treat myself to a draught Old Style after that one. I went home and expected the inevitable call to start discussing the nuts and bolts of an offer.
The next day, my phone rang. It was Purdue, but it was not the position I had just interviewed for. It was instead to come in and interview for a different position that I, frankly, did not even remember applying for.* As confident as I was I had the other job, I remembered how things went down with Ag IT the year before and quickly agreed to come in later the next afternoon. When I got there, I sat down and had a quick, breezy interview. I was probably a bit more loose in that interview than usual, thinking this was merely a back up plan.
*This is not surprising, though. Like I said, I applied to Purdue so many times for so many positions, there is no way to remember them all.
It turns out, it was a good idea to have a back up plan. The second job quickly moved into ironing out nuts and bolts of an offer, while the first job went silent. It was to the point where I hoped I would have an offer on the table from the second job before I left on vacation so I wouldn't have to worry about coming back to Alcoa. That didn't quite work out, but it was close. I had a little bit of contact with Purdue while I was on vacation just to through the fine print, so to speak, and was emailed on that Sunday we returned that I had an offer that I needed to come in and sign on Monday.
First thing Monday morning, I put in three days' notice with Alcoa. A bit short, but Purdue did want me to start quickly so I was in and somewhat trained before school started. Could I have worked a week? Oh, probably. But I hardly had three days worth of things to finish up at Alcoa,* and I certainly wasn't going to start anything new. Besides, for as much as I had put up with for practically nothing for two years, I had no qualms about taking a couple days for myself. I was a contractor for a company that had absolutely no intention of hiring me on full time, nor any intention of giving any sort of raise or better benefits, but still have practically all the responsibilities of other full time employees.
*Remember, I was coming back from a vacation, so I had nearly everything as wrapped up as possible before I left for that anyway.
So, yeah, they were lucky to get three days out of me, honestly. I left to a rather nasty email that was sent to all of Alcoa Lafayette about how I had put everybody in a bind. I struggled mightily to care.
I started the next Monday at Purdue and have now been here for a month and eleven days.* I have settled in nicely here and have opened all sorts of doors now both for myself and my immediate family. The benefits are awesome, the pay increase was substantial, tuition benefits are awfully nice not just for myself and Kristine, but for our future children as well. Everything is good with us.
*But who's counting?
Now that things have settled down for me, I feel like it's about time for me to get back into the routine of posting here again as well. And it will happen, just not yet, for what I said above. It's nice to get back to writing, especially doing it in an academic setting. I'm guessing that by the time I'm back to writing here every day, the NFL mess will have more or less settled down, but that's okay. There's always something new to write about in the world sports, right?

A Farewell to Tacos
In the gray coldness of an early November day, he ascended from out of the station and walked. He walked east to meet a friend at Mexicocina, of which he had read and of which he had wanted to go, hearing it was good.
Walking not as far as he thought he needed, he arrived, but his friend was not there and so he stood waiting, the sounds of hip hop beats filling the cold, metallic air. A man, plump and with red cheeks, smoked cigarettes and said "today is a fine day for tacos."
He waited and then received a message sent through text. "I will be 20 minutes late" the message read. He leaned against a parking meter and waited.
Another message through text came. "The trains are not running properly I will be 40 minutes late."
He looked into the sky and its vastness and felt very cold inside, colder than the November cold.
Then, sometime later, a new message: "I am here - where are you?"
He looked but he could not see his friend. Then, his cellular rang, and it was his friend.
"I am here," the friend said. "Where are you?"
"I am also here," he said.
"Are you not at 800 East 149th Street" the friend asked.
And then he realized he was not there but at 444 East 149th Street.
"You must come to 800," his friend continued. "I will be waiting."
And so he walked, thinking how funny that he and his friend went to separate locations. When he arrived, his friend, smiling, greeted him.
"What funny luck" the friend said.
"We each went to separate locations. But this is the right location. This is the one mentioned in the article of the newspaper you sent me."
They went in and it was warm and there were many purples and blues and greens on the walls, and it smelled of toasted masa, and a family ate tacos, and they sat in a vacant corner. It was very warm and toasty inside. A waitress, a young girl, with raven eyes and hair of darkness, came.
"I will have a Mexican coke," he said.
The girl smiled.
"Water" the friend said.
When she returned, she took their order.
"We will have steak with peppers, and a quesadilla with fungus, and tacos, ones with chorizo and ones with pork."
"Si," she said. "Yes."
She smiled at the one with Mexican coke and left.
"I think she likes you," said the friend.
"Who? Me? Oh. No, I do not think so."
But she was beautiful and it was true, she smiled at him still, from across the room. And then the hate in his friend's eyes swelled and he could see it. The girl returned with the food, which was flavorful, and he soaked up the sauce with tortillas and said it was very good.
"I hate you, it is true," the friend said. "For she loves you, and I love her, and she does not love me."
"No," he said. "Oh. Well. No."
And then a cry filled the room, and they looked, and a piece of the ceiling had caved in and crushed the girl, and she was dead, her dark eyes looking up.
The two friends left and walked back into the coldness, the one who had been loved, the one who had loved, and walked briskly back to the train.

(the 444 East 149th location, spelled Mexicozina, with a "z," serves tacos only)

Schizmatic is a webcomic based on blueprint schematics applied to actual life: mostly science-skewed observational humor, but basically reality iterated through the chaotic fractal equation of my imagination. It puts the cosmos under a microscope, and reality under analysis.
Conceptually, it's the intersection of subjective and objective, mind and phenomenon, ego and cosmos -- an intersection which occasionally causes spectacular accidents that ensuing YouTube comments can only describe as "hilariorrific."
About The Artist: I attended OSU and Stanford, and have a degree in Computer Science which I hope to put to better use than coding screensavers for the Matrix.
From a more personal perspective, I'm a Gemini; I like hiking and biking; and I love food, music, and moonlit walks on the beach -- more specifically, gnawing on raw beachkill while listening to Necrophagia as I stalk hapless seashell collectors.
That's straight from my eHarmony profile.
Thank You's: Many thanks to the ragingly great Comic Fury for hosting the comic; big-hearted artist Lutz Baar for generously granting use of his striking Baar Zeitgeist font; and the ongoing openness of the web which enables richer creativity toward greater consciousness.

BOK Music Presents: Young Female R&B (Promo) (BOK Music, 199x)
Further submissions from a wide variety of songwriters that may have been used in TV shows and movies back in the day. At least three (written by Joleen Belle) were picked up for major label artists ("Good & Plenty" was recorded by R&B group Divine for their 1999 album "Fairy Tales"; "Down & Dirty" was given to teenage singer J'Son for "The 8th Man" soundtrack and "Cool With You" was remade into an acoustic pop number for Jennifer Love Hewitt. Over in Denmark, the later two songs were also given to Danish R&B singer Peaches Lavon, formally of funk duo Peaches & Bobo. With the exception of "Down & Dirty" which pretty much sounds the same as J'Son's version (but with a female vocalist), all the versions here are different as far as I can tell. The remaining songs I know nothing about but the vast majority appear to mimic different smooth 90s R&B styles from early LA Reid & Babyface ("Don't Leave Home Without It") to En Vogue ("You Can't Always get What You Want") to Brandy ("Git With Me") I believe that Andrea Martin is singing on track 15 although I am not certain that she wrote it.

The Forest and the Trees
Practicing seeing the whole picture
January 23, 2022 January 23, 2022 / Trischa Goodwin
[Image description: Photo of a collage of pictures taken from magazines. The bottom picture shows a shoreline with large rocks and a tall island silhouetted against a blue and orange sky and the sky is reflected in the shallow waves of the water. The top picture is a black-and-white ghostlike picture of trees with drooping branches reflected in calm, glasslike water. In the center of the collage, overlaying the other top pictures is a Viking ship. The word "Gathering" is pasted on the ship.]
We are told not to live in the past,
or dwell on what has been,
yet our lives ebb and flow and some wisdom
is gleaned only in hindsight.
Memories, waves veining across sand
in the rose-golden light of retrospection
beckon us, carry us, navigate back to
gather in the previously unobserved.
Wandering revealed as labyrinth path,
the trivial unveiled as meaningful,
former aches and longings
rediscovered as deepest truth.
Time offers perspective, not forgiveness.
Perspective offers understanding,
shows the way to forgive ourselves
for what we didn't know.

Home > Pick up+ > A Special Reward for VAMPS at the 'Billboard Japan Music Award'!
On the 31st of January in 2010, for the first time in Japan, the "Billboard Japan Music Award" Show had been taking place.
During the part "Billboard Japan Ranking International 2009" VAMPS turned out to be awarded as well. The prize is handed to those artists, which had been successfully performing overseas in 2009 and are potentially seen successful overseas in 2010 as well.
In 2009 VAMPS had successfully completed their American Tour and for September 2009 the begin of a world tour is anchored in their schedule, which led to this awarding. The handing over of the award had been kept secret and they were the award outside the venue in a special staging.
And even though the ceremony had been a secret, there were about 1000 fans who had gathered nonetheless. When asked about their impressions on the prize as well as on their live performance, HYDE said: "We are doing what we like to do and it makes us happy to receive this public reward for it." "Concerts are certainly a great thing and for 2010 we would like to continue it to be just as much fun!" K.A.Z. commented.
2010 will be a good year for VAMPS with a start like that, it seems!
