![]() It was led by efforts in New York, which hit the limits of a diminishing tax base and vanishing bank loans in 1975 and was pushed to the brink of municipal bankruptcy. These are powerful city images.īut city branding as a discipline proper was born in the industrial decline and fiscal stress of the 1970s. Think of postcards made around 1900 of the engineering marvel of the Eiffel Tower, or the fantasy pavilions at Coney Island, and the famous photo of the Flatiron Building by Alfred Steiglitz. So how did this counterproductive exercise in collective egotism begin? Cities have long had visual “brands”: from tourist photos to scenes in a film, our mental postcards of a city become the DNA of its essence with endless repetition, this essence becomes a meme or a logo for the city’s brand. If the brand process begins with “a desire to be extraordinary”, as one place-branding agency suggests, then predictably, according to the so-called Lake Wobegon effect popularised by the US radio host Garrison Keillor – who satirises a town where "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking and all the children are above average" – then every city turns out to be “extraordinary”. The states with the largest contributions were Colorado ($1.4 billion), California ($688.2 million) and Utah ($601.8 million) - notably states where downhill skiing is big business.But competition between cities accelerates the need for image-making so that no city can ever win. Snow activities for the nation tallied $7 billion in current‐dollar value added and was the largest conventional activity in three states. Motorcycling/ATVing was the third‐largest conventional activity for the nation at $11.5 billion in current‐dollar value added and was the largest conventional activity in Wisconsin. The state with the largest contribution was Indiana, where many RV manufacturers are located, at $5.9 billion.īoating/fishing was the second‐largest conventional activity for the nation at $32.4 billion in current‐dollar value added and was the largest conventional activity in 24 states and the District of Columbia. RVing was the largest conventional outdoor activity for the nation at $35.5 billion in current‐dollar value added and was the largest conventional activity in 22 states. Growth in supporting activities was led by travel and tourism, reflecting growth in spending on transportation, hotels, and restaurants. outdoor recreation, other outdoor recreation accounted for 19.8% and supporting activities accounted for the remaining 46%. ![]() ![]() In 2022, conventional outdoor recreation hit 34.2% of U.S. The government sorts outdoor recreation into three general categories: “conventional activities” such as bicycling, boating, hiking, and hunting “other activities” such as gardening and outdoor concerts and “supporting activities” such as construction, travel and tourism, local trips, and government expenditures. It also includes motorcycles, outdoor concerts, gardening, equestrian activities, construction at outdoor destinations and government spending on the outdoors. The government's definition of outdoor recreation includes everything from buying bait at the bait shop to building expensive RVs. The bureau reports that mining contributed about 1.9% of U.S. economy than extractive industries like mining. Supporters of the outdoor recreation industry, and the nation’s outdoor environment that supports places to camp, fish, hunt, hike, boat, bike and bird - note that outdoor recreation now contributes more money to the U.S.

Needless to say, it was one of the best birthday presents I have ever given. My wife, excuse me, ex-wife is sobbing and screaming how could I while the lover is desperately trying to put his pants on while running out of the place.

We all pile in the elevator (about 8 of us in total) her mother is holding the cake and I’m reminding everyone to be as quiet as they can be. I had everyone meet me outside our apartment at 8:30 in the morning. I tell them how I want to give her a big surprise by sneaking into her room with party streamers, kazoos and a big cake with candles. While there I call up her mother, father, sister and several of her friends. I leave and go to my friends house pretending like I am going out of town. So I do what any sensible man would have done. So I know something is up and after finding a bottle of champagne and two glasses hidden in my closet something in me snaps. You see after asking her what she wanted to do on her birthday this year she was rather insisted on me going out of town with my friends as she just had to work anyways and didn’t want to be reminded she was aging. Answer to your second question is of course it had to be on her birthday. Now I know what you’re thinking, why the hell did I wait months before I confronted her and did it really need to be on her birthday? The answer to the first question is I wanted as much evidence as possible to hand off to my lawyer as well as make arrangements to find a new place to live, etc. ![]() They’re good at what they do and they will get some evidence that really helps in the later divorce.įast track to her birthday, several months down the road.

When I asked her what was going on she’d laugh it off and say it was just something they did to each other at the office all the time. When I’d call in her co-workers said she left hours ago. Needing to stay late every night after work. Constantly laughing and smiling when texting, saying it was just her mother when I asked.

It is still in existence under a photogenic 1881 gazebo, though belatedly connected to the town water system in 1911. The first was eventually named the "Beersheba" well, for an ancient well used by the Biblical patriarchs Abraham and Isaac. Nine wells were driven in 1870 to provide fresh water. Residents were expected to follow the strict Methodist social norms of the era which included prohibitions of alcohol, tobacco, cards, dancing, the reading of novels, and even chewing gum. ![]() The lots were leased for 99 years with the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association retaining ownership. By the following year, the area was laid out into lots and roadways. About twenty tents were pitched that summer. ![]() Osborn, Reverend Stokes, and other Methodist ministers camped at a shaded, well-drained spot on New Jersey's seashore and decided to establish a permanent Christian camp meeting community called "Ocean Grove." This followed a search of the Jersey Shore for a place not infested with mosquitoes. History Ross' Pavilion in Ocean Grove, 1902 Ocean Grove remains the longest-active camp meeting site in the United States. By the early 20th century, the popular Christian meeting ground became known as the "Queen of Religious Resorts." The community's land is still owned by the camp meeting association and leased to individual homeowners and businesses. ![]() Stokes, formed the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association to develop and operate a summer camp meeting site on the New Jersey seashore. Ocean Grove was founded in 1869 as an outgrowth of the camp meeting movement in the United States, when a group of Methodist clergymen, led by William B. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Ocean Grove is noted for its abundant examples of Victorian architecture and the Great Auditorium, acclaimed as "the state’s most wondrous wooden structure, soaring and sweeping, alive with the sound of music". It is located on the Atlantic Ocean's Jersey Shore, between Asbury Park to The north and Bradley Beach to the south. It had a population of 3,057 at the 2020 United States census. Ocean Grove is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) that is part of Neptune Township, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. So researchers are starting to use chatbots as fake people from whom they can extract data about real people. And their whole deal is that they are designed to act like people. AI bots, on the other hand, will do whatever you tell them to, practically for free. ![]() People are hard to wrangle, and the setup costs for human experimentation are considerable. It's difficult to model something like Twitter - or to do any kind of science, really - using actual humans. "Is there a way to promote interaction across the partisan divide without driving toxicity and incivility?" wondered Petter Törnberg, the computer scientist who led the experiment. They had created a model of a social network in a lab - a Twitter in a bottle, as it were - in the hopes of learning how to create a better Twitter in the real world. The scientists had used ChatGPT 3.5 to build the bots for a very specific purpose: to study how to create a better social network - a less polarized, less caustic bath of assholery than our current platforms. Meanwhile, in our world, the not-simulated world, a bunch of scientists were watching. ![]() Then the 500 robots logged into something very much (but not totally) like Twitter, and discussed what they had read.

![]() The apple tree moved into the wall by one stud, has five 6x5 leaves, two green apples with four arches acting as branches, using a twig to connect two 6x5 leaves that are offset on top of each other. Those two dark bluish grey tiles went to the pavilion roof of the great tower, I didn’t like how the pentagonal tiles stuck out of the roof. I used two 22385 2x3 light bluish grey pentagonal tiles to replace the 2x2 dark bluish grey tiles above the gate. The treasure chests have been moved to the gatehouse. I swapped the two round bricks with two palisade bricks, topped them up with a pyramid tile, they lock in the crest securely and no more movements. I find the coat of arms above the gate fiddly it moves around with slightest amount of motion. A protruding portcullis was made by a clipped-on horizontal barred door. Moving to the front of the gatehouse, I tiled up the entire footbridge and build up the outside moat bank with olive green round half plates and some other pieces for support. ![]() I added a brick high of yellow and brown bargeboard to the watch tower roof to add a splash of colour to the otherwise entirely grey corner. It was an easy fix I swapped the stone battlements with the yellow wattle and daub boards. I had the stone battlements on the great tower for the first three versions of my MOD, then I finally realised it does not need to be there, as the alchemy study is enclosed and has no use for the machicolations. This allowed me to complete the flooring on the keep, add in a tapestry table, plus the well on the ground floor. The location of the old staircase is awkward with my modification, I decided to move it to the corner tower section. I put the weathervane on top of the great tower, plenty of flags already on the other three towers. Merlons on battlements should be as tall as soldiers to shield them from projectiles. The crenels on all the battlements are raised by one brick high, the slope tiles on the merlons are flipped so they face outwards. I studied the towers on the gatehouse, which is composed of two sections each on the ramparts, I can use three sections for the great tower and one section to raise the corner tower by one level. The great tower became five storeys tall, I added two dragon gargoyles at the lower floor above the watermill to balance out the heavier top design. With the watermill and dark azure plates only on 2 sides of the castle, my castle is sitting on the bend of a river, so I placed yellow wattle and daub structures with windows facing that way to have a waterfront view. The keep is built up using two flipped window and chimney yellow wattle and daub buildings, shortened to fit inside the rampart. I added a second 1x8 reddish brown brick as a beam to the floor, rearranged them both so they are spaced equally from edges, moved the grey bricks to fit accordingly. I wanted to build up four towers on the castle, incorporated the pavilion roof of model B into the great tower next to the yellow wooden keep. I find this is the most efficient way to build two of the same sets, learning the building techniques and sorting out the pieces by building them into the castle. ![]() I started building both sets simultaneously bag by bag over a few nights. Here is a summary of the modifications up to version 5.

Season 6: Episode 17, "Christian Troy II" Toward the very end of the series, Nip/Tuck proved-once again-that changing the narrative landscape of the series was rarely a good idea. mime who robs convenience stores? (We can’t make this stuff up, people.) Season 6: Episode 5, "Abigail Sullivan" While Sean, Annie, and Conor nearly escape the good doctor’s quickie marriage to serial killing anesthesiologist Teddy (played by Katee Sackhoff in Season 5, then Rose McGowan in Season 6), poor Matt has resorted to becoming a. Season 5: Episode 6, "Damien Sands" Like "Conor McNamara, 2026," this episode mostly steps outside the normal continuity of Nip/Tuck and plays out in the form of "Plastic Fantastic," a new reality show that Christian has convinced Sean to film. Season 4: Episode 9, "Liz Cruz" Liz Cruz (Roma Maffia), McNamara/Troy's trusty anesthesiologist and longtime conscience, is still recovering from a kidney transplant-damn those organ thieving prostitutes!-when she books a bit of liposuction with the doctors to impress her new girlfriend, Poppy (Alanis Morissette), who clearly sees much more room for physical improvement. ![]() To do it, he takes him to a strip club where he barters a lap dance in exchange for a breast reduction. Season 4: Episode 2, "Blue Mondae" Christian attempts to turn his new patient, a young gay man whose lover is paying to make him look more distinguished, straight. Desperate for cash, the doctors agree to reassemble the bodies of several corpses that have been mutilated to create one female body for necrophilic-and, it turns out, incestuous-purposes. Season 3: Episode 6, "Frankenlaura" McNamara/Troy is hurting for business in the wake of Christian being arrested as a possible serial killer. That said, there are some clunker episodes throughout the series, including: Yet the same season features great episodes with Peter Dinklage as Marlowe Sawyer, manny to the McNamara’s newborn son, Conor. It’s a storyline and set of characters that are neatly disposed of and forgotten about once the season is over. Case in point: Season 4, which sees the arrival of Burt and Michelle Landau (Larry Hagman and Sanaa Lathan), who buy into the McNamara/Troy business, only to see Michelle be blackmailed by her former pimp/lover, James (Jacqueline Bisset), into turning the office into a den of organ thievery. But amidst the sometimes messy results, there are moments-and even full hours-of creative brilliance that make watching the series in its entirety worth the time and effort. Seasons/Episodes You Can Skip: Like facelifts, not every season of Nip/Tuck is perfectly executed. ![]() Over the course of six seasons, viewers faced an onslaught of bizarre storylines that included brushes with drug-dealing, organ-harvesting, porn-making, Scientology, and an unhinged wannabe talent agent who kills a rival with a teddy bear-making machine. Which makes it sound a lot more touchy-feely than it really is. The series touches on a number of taboo subjects that would still be considered a bit controversial today-including, on more than one occasion, pedophilia and incest-but at its heart, the series is about accepting people, including ourselves, with all of our flaws. ![]() In addition to being an immediate hit when it premiered in 2003, Nip/Tuck was also immediately controversial. Though it quickly becomes apparent that no one’s life is as perfect as it seems. Meanwhile, Sean is a dutiful family man: husband to his college sweetheart, Julia (Joely Richardson), and father to his children Matt (John Hensley) and Annie (Kelsey Batelaan). Christian, on the other hand, is in this business for the women when he’s not in surgery, he’s often out trolling the city’s nightlife scene for new patients. Like a hipper, and far more stomach-churning, version of House, the series sees the doctors perform your standard vanity procedures-boob jobs, liposuction, facelifts-but also paints them as innovators in their field, largely due to Sean’s medical expertise. The series begins its run in Miami, where college buddies-turned-medical partners Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) run one of the city’s most elite plastic surgery practices.
