| An Architectural Walking Tour of DetroitThu, 08 Jan 2009 12:42:58 -0800 by travelandtransitionsOctober 18, 2008 started with a delicious breakfast at the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel following which I met Bob Goldsmith from Detroit Tour Connections for an architectural walking tour of downtown Detroit. Detroit has a large collection of early 20th century architecture, and the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel itself is one of the most stunning examples of architectural restoration. After many years of abandonment and decay, this 1924 Art Deco stunner was recently renovated at a cost of over $200 million. Bob and I walked south on Washington Avenue and admired the 1923 Lafayette Building, the 1928 Penobscot Building, the Federal Court Building and the Detroit Free Press Building. A short walk away is the stunning Guardian Building, a 1925 Art Deco jewel with extensive Aztec-style decorations that used to be called the Cathedral of Finance. This building quickly became my Detroit favourite.Further south we explored Hart Plaza, Detroits Civic Centre which features several interesting sculptures. The waterfront right next to it is highlighted by the Gateway to Freedom, an impressive sculpture commemorating the Underground Railroad that was dedicated in 2001. Back up in the city we admired Campus Martius Park, a recently redesigned outdoor gathering place for many Detroiters. After a brief peek into the Art Deco-era David Stott Building we headed back to Washington Boulevard and took in the Kales Building, the David Broderick Tower and the David Whitney Building. This area, also referred to as skyscraper graveyard, was also home to the renowned Statler Hotel and the Hotel Tuller, both now demolished. Our architectural walking tour concluded with a visit to Detroits Eastern Market which was hustling and bustling on this Saturday morning.

| Pulp Fiction Part 1Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:08:57 -0800 by truemovies274download.. http://seethemovies. infoPulp Fiction Part 1Late one morning in the Hawthorne Grill, Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) and Pumpkin (Tim Roth) discuss the pros and cons of robbing banks. Then they stand up in their booth and announce that they're robbing the diner.Earlier in the day, Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vincent Vega (John Travolta) arrive at a San Fernando Valley apartment building. They are hit men in the employ of Marsellus Wallace and have come to retrieve a valuable belonging of Wallace's that has come into the possession of a group of young would-be crooks. They take back the valuable item -- kept in a briefcase, it glows warmly and transfixes whoever looks at it. Jules recites what he claims is a Bible verse, Ezekiel 25:17, before he and Vincent execute the young men.At his strip club, Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) pays boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) to throw his next fight. Jules and Vincent arrive; although it is only a few hours after their visit to the Valley, the two hit men are wearing much less stylish clothes. Vincent insults Butch but before Butch can retaliate, Marsellus calls Vincent over and embraces him. Marsellus is leaving town that evening and Vincent is to take Marsellus' wife, Mia (Uma Thurman), out for dinner to keep her entertained. Rumors abound that Marsellus gravely wounded another associate who he believed had been improperly friendly with Mia, so Vincent is nervous. Before picking Mia up, he visits his dealer, Lance (Eric Stoltz), and buys some high-quality heroin. Properly sedated, he escorts the cocaine-addicted Mia to Jack Rabbit Slim's, a theme restaurant. There, they dance the twist and win an award. After dinner, they return to the Wallaces' home. Vincent goes to the bathroom to talk himself out of making a pass at Mia. Meanwhile, she discovers the baggie of heroin in his coat pocket and, assuming it is cocaine, snorts some. She immediately passes out and begins to foam at the mouth. Panicked, Vincent takes the dying Mia to Lance's. Lance is able to revive her with a shot of adrenaline administered straight to the heart. Vincent takes Mia home. They agree not to tell Marsellus what happened. Related: pulp fiction movie part trailer preview teaser clip full hd quality watch movies free john travolta samuel l. jackson | |

| The Pine Hills SinkholeThu, 08 Jan 2009 11:47:42 -0800 by colishaatgecOn June 11, 2002, a 150-foot wide and 60-foot deep sinkhole collapsed in Pile Hills, Florida. The rim of the sinkhole came within a few feet of two three-story apartment buildings. GEC was retained by the owner to take immediate temporary measures to protect the buildings and to design a permanent solution for foundation stability. GEC's innovative approach to this time sensitive situation was an interlocked steel pipe pile wall installed using Giken Silent Piler. The building settlement was arrested by construction of the wall, and the foundation stabilization was complete within one month after the sinkhole occurred.
