Dodge This: Supplement Draft What a Waste!June 25, 2008
The WWE Supplement Draft is here. Are we going to see the changes that we are so hoping to see? Probably not! As a fan, I would like to see big changes and mix it up. We have seen the same people battle for years and I think it is time to get different rivalries out there. Think of it, wouldn't you like to see John Cena going after someone other than Triple H and Randy Orton? Wouldn't you like to see La Familia split up and Edge and Vickie against each other?
Here are the Supplement Draft Picks:
1st Pick Mark Henry
Mark Henry is leaving SmackDown for ECW. Mark Henry would have been back with his big friend Big Daddy V, but that's not going to happen since Big Daddy V won't be there. So now Mark Henry will have to find someone to challenge his strength against.
2nd Pick Jamie Noble
Jamie leaves SmackDown to head over to Raw. Good move for Raw. Jamie will now get the exposure that he has wanted to get.
3rd Pick Trevor Murdock
Trevor is leaving Raw to head over to SmackDown. This could be good for him. If he can get past the singing portion of his career, he'll do well. Would just have to sit back and see what he does.
4th Pick Big Daddy V
Big Daddy V is leaving ECW to head over to SmackDown. I, for one, would just like to say to Big Daddy V "Please wear a shirt or a bra, which is just plain nasty!" I know that you are a big man and all but that should only been seen in your home not in public.
5th Pick Deuce
Deuce is leaving SmackDown to head over to Raw. Deuce and Domino are no longer together. This could be considered a good thing due to lately all they can do is beat each other. But I for one would love to see them keep fighting with each other.
6thPick DH Smith
DH Smith is leaving Raw to head over to SmackDown. Nothing comes to mind on this one.
7thPick Hornswoggle
Hornswoggle is leaving SmackDown to head over to ECW. Hornswoggle and Finlay are no longer on the same show. Can Hornswoggle make it on his own? Is there someone else out there that is going to help Hornswoggle?
8th Pick Super Crazy
Super Crazy is leaving Raw to go over to ECW. Super Crazy is going back to where it all began, and I think this is good for him.
9thPick Chuck Palumbo
Palumbo is leaving SmackDown to head to Raw. This in my book is a good move. I would like to see him go against some of the Raw roster. This will be a good learning experience for him. Not to mention he could rekindle his rivalry with Noble.
10th Pick Brian Kendrick
Kendrick is leaving Raw to head over to SmackDown. Good move! I am extremely happy with this and think that he will do really good back on SmackDown.
11th Pick Matt Striker
Striker is leaving ECW to head over to Raw. No words can come to mind on this one, so I will just leave this one alone. But I will say that John Cena will enjoy beating this idiot up.
12th Pick Maria
Maria is leaving Raw to head over to SmackDown. This is the first Diva in the draft and I can say that I think she will do just fine in SmackDown.
13th Pick Shelton Benjamin
Shelton is leaving ECW to head to SmackDown. Shelton Benjamin should be really happy about this move due to SmackDown is where he had started out at.
14th Pick Finlay
Finlay is leaving SmackDown to head over to ECW. Finlay and Hornswoggle are both heading over to ECW. They are still a tag team, and Hornswoggle will still have his protector with him. I am extremely happy with this draft.
15thPick Carlito
Carlito is leaving Raw to head over to SmackDown. Carlito is packing up his apples and is heading back to where he once was to SmackDown. Are we still going to see Carlito's Cabana? What a shame that Carlito and Santino are no longer together, just kidding, I think this is good news.
16th Pick Layla
Layla is leaving ECW to head over to Raw. Layla is going back to where it all began and that is Raw. Do you think Layla has what it takes to go up against the women in Raw? What do you think Beth Phoenix is going to do with Layla? This could turn out to be quite interesting to watch what will happen.
17thPick Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston is leaving ECW to head over to Raw. This will give Kofi some time to get to know some of the superstars in the WWE.
This is the supplement draft and if you ask me, this was pointless. They really didn't make any major changes; this would have been the perfect time to change some of the big names around. But NO, that wasn't done and it was actually a big waist of time.
I really believe that they are going to need to do something to SmackDown, move either Vickie or Edge. I would have just been happy if they would have moved anyone from La Familia. For one, Curt Hawkins or Zack Ryder could have been drafted and they weren't. Why is that? Does WWE have some kind of fear over what Vickie will do next? I would say bring it on honey and just do it.
Now think of this, Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely are on ECW roster, wouldn't it be nice to see Teddy Long tell them that they can't make appearances on SmackDown any more? Wouldn't that just be the icing on the cake? It is not like Teddy is afraid of Vickie in any way. I say do it Teddy, you are their boss and have the right to tell them what is what.
This is my take on the supplement draft.

Boston Bruins: Weekend Preview for Their Minor League AffiliatesNovember 8, 2012
One game after snapping a three-game pointless drought, the Providence Bruins will need to be ready to reverse their roles Friday night as they face the only team in the AHL's Eastern Conference with a lower winning percentage on the year.
The Albany Devils are in the midst of a three-game winless slide (0-2-1) and are 2-5-1 overall on the year.
This despite the presence of New Jersey's rookie sensation from last season, Adam Henrique, who presently has but two goals and a minus-three rating to speak of.
Generally speaking, the Devils have gone the way of another promising forward in the organization, Jacob Josefson. Their current skid on the scoreboard is coinciding with their top scorer's three-game production drought, which is also what Henrique is nursing.
With the P-Bruins defense and goaltending coming off their first shutout and stingiest outing to date―a 3-0 shutout against a St. John's IceCaps team that was limited to 18 shots―complacency will be their worst enemy against Albany's starving pit bulls.
Provided Niklas Svedberg, who one can assume will get the starting nod in net, and his praetorian guards keep the door obstinately shut, it will be on the Bruins' most leaned-on strikers to thaw out at the other end.
This is the season's first instance of a three-game weekend, and Bruce Cassidy's pupils will need an unhesitant, confidence-induced boost of mental energy to carry them through as they try to ascend the standings.
The importance of a morally and tangibly satisfying tilt on Friday is compounded by the two divisional dates that will follow.
The Bruins will venture to Manchester on Saturday to engage a Monarchs team in the third installment of their season series, which has so far swayed in favor of the road team in an exchange of visits.
Returning home on Sunday, Providence will host the Worcester Sharks for the second time in a span of 10 days. Last Friday, another sketchy outing from netminder Michael Hutchinson, combined with a failure to bury chances at even strength, amounted to a tough 3-2 loss, which the host club will doubtlessly be raring to prove it has learned from.
Like the Baby B's, Boston's Double-A partner in South Carolina is still looking to scrap out of the bottom of its five-team division. Fresh off their second loss in as many road games, the Stingrays will have a second consecutive crack at the Kalamazoo Wings Friday night.
From there, their comprehensive excursion around the ECHL's North Division will have them facing the Evansville Icemen on Saturday, Toledo Walleye on Sunday and the league-leading Cincinnati Cyclones Tuesday.

Venue : Multipurpose Hall, Taylor's University, Lakeside Campus.
It is a Charity Concert + Dinner to Raise funds for Precious Home orphanage and BARIO Project and to provide a platform for youth to perform their hidden talents.
The Kelabit, at approximately 5,000 people, is one of the smallest ethnic groups in Bario, Sarawak. Bario is located in the centre of the Kelabit Highlands in the north east of Sarawak, Malaysia. Like many other indigenous communities in Sarawak, the Kelabit live in longhouses in the highlands. However, due to economic and social factors, many have migrated to live in urban areas over the last 20 years. Approximately, 1,200 Kelabit are still living in the highlands. Bario lack constant supply of basic utilities. Besides the Celcom network coverage, there is no telecommunication service provided at Bario. Water supply is through gravity-fed system and thus they rely on rainwater and river water for their supply. Limited electricity supply is provided through diesel generators and solar-panels. Kids at Bario also lack basic facilities that are required for boarding and schooling.
Project Revive is organised by Taylor's University Student Council

Unknown pages of the history of the Second World War: Soviet prisoners of war in Finland (1941-1944)
30-09-2000 Article, International Review of the Red Cross, No. 839, by Tigran S. Drambyan
Abstract of the article : Des pages méconnues de l'histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : les prisonniers de guerre soviétique en Finlande (1941-1944)
Despite abundant literature on the Second World War, not much has been written about the situation of those members of the Soviet armed forces who were held in captivity by Finland between 1941 and 1944. Yet between June and September 1941 close to 65,000 officers and men of the Red Army were taken prisoner, many of whom were wounded. Although the Soviet Union was not a party to the 1929 Prisoner-of-War Convention, Finland treated its prisoners according to the Law of Geneva. Thus ICRC delegates visited the POW camps, and prisoners received food and medical assistance from various Red Cross Societies. In the autumn of 1944 they were repatriated to the Soviet Union. Not much is known about how they fared after their return to their home country. Firsthand accounts by former Soviet POWs close this review of a chapter of recent history unknown to most.

India: The Emerging Giant
MUMBAI – Why did the early promise of the Indian economy not materialize and what led to its eventual turnaround? In conversation with Dr. Rakesh Mohan, deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Columbia University Professor Arvind Panagariya offered an analysis of India's economy over the last fifty years--from the promising start in the 1950s, to the near debacle of the 1970s, to the phenomenal about face of the last two decades.
At this Asia Society India Centre event held at the Taj President Hotel, Professor Panagariya illuminated the ways that government policies have promoted economic growth, and discussed such key topics as poverty and inequality, tax reform, telecommunications, agriculture and transportation, and the government's role in health, education, and sanitation.
Professor Panagariya said that agricultural reform is needed in the short run in order to raise farmers' income levels. In the long run, however, agricultural growth would not be able to grow fast enough -- even an increase from its current level of 2.5 percent to 4 or 5 percent would not be sufficient. What is needed is for people in the farming sector to be pulled away into non-farming, labor-intensive industries (such as production of apparel, footwear, consumer goods), where well-paying jobs can be created for many.

EOG Resources CEO to retire in 2013
Published 7:00 pm, Saturday, September 10, 2011
HOUSTON (AP) -- EOG Resources Inc. Chairman and CEO Mark G. Papa will retire in June 2013 and be replaced by the oil and gas company's new president, William R. Thomas.
Papa said he would begin to turn over duties to Thomas in the last six months before retiring. Thomas had been senior executive vice president for exploration and has spent 32 years with the company.
EOG said Thomas was the key figure behind EOG's first major successful horizontal drilling for shale gas in Johnson County, Texas, in 2004 and joined the headquarters management team in February.
The company also said that Gary L. Thomas was promoted to chief operating officer. He had been senior executive vice president for operations and has been with EOG for 33 years.
EOG, based in Houston, was the first company to use horizontal drilling to tap into oil held in shale formations. It has been shifting from natural gas to more lucrative crude oil and gas liquids in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and New Mexico.

Out of interest, why do people here who PVP take part in RBGs? If you don't do RBGs (but you play arenas/randoms), why not?
If you're unsure whether you should pick 'yes I enjoy them' or 'yes for the conquest cap', ask yourself if you'd play them if they only awarded honor.
Not being able to find a team because nobody wants a warrior/enhancer etc should probably go down as 'No too long to organise', with hindsight I should have added an option 'No, can't find a spot' but I don't seem to be able to edit the poll...
*edit* Doh, the poll title should be "Do you play RBGs?"

Configuring spare networks
Our networking expert suggests configuring the routing tables for each host on spare networks to use their shared router as a connection point.
This Article Covers
Network Installation and Administration
My customer has two spare networks: 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.0. They're physically connected by CAT5 cable. What should I configure and where so that the host of each network can connect to the other host in the other network?

Additionally, they have two subnets (after subnetting a class B network), that are physically connected by a CAT5 cable. What should I configure and where so that the host of each network can connect to the other host in the other network?
If the two networks have a router between them, then you should configure the routing table for each host on the 192.168.0.0 network to use that router as the next hop for the 192.168.1.0 network and similarly for the hosts on the 192.168.1.0 network.
If there is no router -- so that there is really only a single physical network -- then your best bet would be to configure the addresses of all the hosts as /23. With that change, no additional routing configuration is necessary. If we think of these four networks in terms of CIDR addressing, we see that your two questions are really the same question, so the answer to the second is the same as the answer to the first.

Tom Tancredo: The case for impeachment
Former Congressman (and perhaps future Governor?) Tom Tancredo has an Op-Ed in the Washington Times today backing up his statement, made famous at the Ken Buck event a couple of weeks ago, that Barack Obama is the biggest threat facing this nation, and arguing that at least one part of Obama's behavior is impeachable.
It will be interesting to see if any of this filters into the CO governor's race...
See "TANCREDO: The case for impeachment", Washington Times, 7/23/2010

I'm shaking my head over this one, but I guess it rather fits with Tancredo's call to threaten bombing Mecca & Medina to combat jihadism. After having served in Congress, and so knowing how much time it would take to implement the impeachment process (i.e., it would very likely take close to the amount of time Obama has left in his term), he's still calling for impeachment? REALLY??? And even if the vote occurred next week, the Democrats have a veto-proof majority that would almost certainly prevent the President's removal from office. All these factors add up to what most of us conservatives routinely decry when the Democrats employ the tactic: making a flashy move to make oneself look and/or feel good, with little to no regard for the actual consequences of said action. In this case, at best Congress would merely waste its time and taxpayers' money. At worst they would put Joe Biden in the Oval Office. How's that for an unintended consequence?
Give me Biden. All though he is a useful idiot, his comments aren't nearly as bad as the policies that Obama has pushed. That my friends, is a sad statement with regard to Obama. Hope-less.

New Nurses Report Tougher Job Market
The economic recession may be to blame for a downturn in demand for newly licensed registered nurses, suggests a survey from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The lead author speculates, however, that demand will grow stronger as healthcare reform is implemented.
For years we've been told about the nursing shortage and the thousands of jobs awaiting newly minted registered nurses. Now a survey of newly licensed registered nurses suggests that this might not be completely accurate.
Compared with six years ago, newly licensed registered nurses (NLRNs) who completed their studies in 2010–11 have greater job commitment, but are more likely to work part-time, and to report that they had fewer job opportunities, according to the survey from the RN Work Project, a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Of those in the 2010–11 cohort who reported being unemployed, 31.1% said they could not find an entry-level RN job in their area, compared with only 11.8% reporting this in 2004–05. More specifically, one in 10 of the 2010–11 cohort said they could not find a job they liked.
Christine T. Kovner, RN, a professor at the College of Nursing at NYU and lead author of the survey, says that some of the perceived downturn in demand for nurses may have been a byproduct of the recession.
"It's more difficult to get jobs for new graduates now than it was prior to the recession," she says.

Given Imaging Plunges Most in 5 Months as Sale Talks Abandoned
Given Imaging Ltd. (GIVN) plunged the most since August after the Israeli maker of a capsule-sized camera said it had ended talks to merge or be acquired.
Shares dropped 13 percent, the biggest decline since Aug. 8, to 59.25 shekels ($15.89) at the close in Tel Aviv. The U.S. shares fell 11 percent to $16.13, the biggest intraday decline since Aug. 8, as of 10:01 a.m. in New York.
Given Imaging, which in October said it had hired Barclays Plc as it considered a possible sale or merger, is abandoning those plans and resuming its operating plan, to be supplemented by acquisitions and partnerships, it said in a statement. The company said parent Discount Investment Corporation intends to sell its 45.5 percent stake.
Discount, controlled by tycoon Nochi Dankner's IDB Holding Corp, fell 3.3 percent to 12.28 shekels. IDB has been selling assets, including a stake in Clal Industries & Investments Ltd. to billionaire Len Blavatnik's Access Industries Holdings Inc., as the company seeks to avoid default on its debt.

"The Turin Shroud is only one of the many burial cloths which were circulating in the Christian world during the Middle Ages. There were at least 40," said Antonio Lombatti of the Università Popolare in Parma, Italy. His paper on the subject is scheduled to appear in Studi Medievali.
Lombatti believes the Shroud of Turin was most likely produced in 14th century Turkey, and that it was presented to French knight Geoffroy de Charny after a crusade to Smyrna. The writer also suggests that other shrouds, many of which were destroyed during the French revolution, were known during the Middle Ages.

People in work could end up worse off and the benefits systems could become even more complex, according to a damning critique of the UK Government's plans for welfare reform released today.
The warning from the highly influential Joseph Rowntree Foundation comes at a time when the Welsh Government is "profoundly concerned" about the impact of changes to council tax support. It fears that the set-up and administration costs of the new system could hit £19m.
The Rowntree report is based on research by the University of Portsmouth and the Centre for Economic and Social Inclusion which suggests flagship plans for a system of Universal Credit could fail to encourage people into full-time work and out of poverty.
This latest warning comes on the heels of a briefing by the respected Institute for Fiscal Studies which warned that the decision to localise council tax support could result in "losses for the poorest households and weakening of work incentives".
It stated: "The case for well thought through reform of the welfare system is overwhelming. The dangers of less fully considered reform - as this one appears to be - are considerable."
Under the plans, council tax benefit is to be abolished across Britain and a grant will be given to the Welsh Government to design its own system of support.
In a surprise move this month the UK Government announced a one-year £100m "transitional grant scheme" to support English councils.
The Welsh Government has said it is "extremely disappointed" that it will not receive a proportional share of Treasury cash.
A spokeswoman said: "Funding discussions are still ongoing with the UK Government, however until they are concluded we do not know what the exact financial implications will be for Wales.
"We are profoundly concerned about the impact of the funding shortfall on our most vulnerable communities and we are committed to ensuring that Wales receives a fair funding transfer - this includes not only the main funding to provide council tax support but also sufficient funding to cover the administrations costs and set up costs of the scheme.
"While these funding negotiations continue we are working very closely with local government practitioners to develop a viable new scheme, which includes simplifying the existing complex arrangements, to ensure that support continues to be provided after the abolition of council tax benefit."
A UK Government spokesman at the Department for Work & Pensions said: "A decision on future funding levels will be based on revised forecasts, which are available later this year. All decisions of this nature are signed off by the Office for Budgetary Responsibility."
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation is sceptical that the UK Government's welfare reforms will succeed in making work pay, warning: "Marginal increases in earnings alone are unlikely to be sufficient incentive to move into full-time work, with small financial gains likely to be wiped out by costs such as childcare and travel."
It also fears a new UK Government computer system may fail, stating that IT failures "could quickly lead to backlogs, poor service and complaints".
It is further concerned the shift from fortnightly to monthly payment in arrears could mean families will "run out of money before the end of each month" and "borrow money to bridge the gap".
The Universal Credit, it claims, "may create an unfair bias against women, with child-related support not necessarily reaching the children it is intended for."
Julia Unwin, the foundation's chief executive, said: "The principle of Universal Credit is sound, but our research has found the actual roll out could unintentionally trap people in poverty and hardship. Universal Credit reforms are approaching at break-neck speed, so the DWP must show similar urgency to address the very serious concerns outlined in this report."
Tony Wilson of the Centre for Economic and Social Inclusion said: "Successive governments have had chequered histories in delivering major benefit reforms. This report shows it is not too late to get it right."
A spokeswoman for the DWP defended the welfare reforms, saying: "Universal Credit will help millions of people by making them better off in work than on benefits. People will have their level of benefit protected when they move onto Universal Credit, and the £300m spent on extra childcare support will allow more families to move into work.
"We know that people on low incomes manage their money well, but we have always said we would be flexible with people who might struggle and will ensure they get the support they need."

Arizona authorities said Monday that they rescued three illegal immigrants from smugglers who tied them up so tightly that shoe laces rubbed through their flesh.
Arizona Department of Public Safety Capt. Fred Zumbo said a family member of one of the male immigrants called Phoenix police Saturday and said smugglers were asking for $6,000 for his safe return.
DPS' Illegal Immigration Apprehension Co-op Team took over, and Zumbo said calls to the family got increasingly aggressive, and that the man was beaten as the family listened to his cries over the phone. Smugglers then threatened to kill the man by 11 a.m. Monday if they didn't get their money, Zumbo said.
Task force detectives pounced at 1 a.m. Monday, and found the victim and two other illegal immigrants tied up and being held against their will.
The Mexican victim whose family had contacted police also had been beaten; none of the immigrants required hospitalization and all were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Detectives arrested four smugglers identified as Julio Cesar Rubio-Contreras, 27; Alexis Medina-Cruz, 18; Yenni Cruz-Ibarra, 30; and Reyna Valdez-Galaviz, 26.
All were booked on charges of kidnapping, human smuggling, extortion and participating in a criminal enterprise. Medina-Cruz also was charged with assault with a weapon.
It was unclear whether the alleged smugglers had attorneys.

Dodgers consider playing Rafael Furcal at second when he returns from DL
Rafael Furcal, second baseman.
Sort of, kinda, could be.
Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly said the Dodgers are considering the possibility of playing Furcal some at second base when he comes off the disabled list.
That would keep rookie Dee Gordon in the lineup at shortstop, and push the Mighty Mite second base combo of Jamey Carroll (.300) and Aaron Miles (.307) to the bench. Unless, of course, Casey Blake by some chance is actually back by then and Juan Uribe has gone back to second and pushed the two out.
Yeah, it could get complicated, but Mattingly said he spoke to general manager Ned Colletti about the possibility of playing Furcal at second prior to Friday's game against the Angels. Hey, it can't hurt to at least have options.
"If I have to do it to help the team, I'll do it," Furcal said.
Mattingly had apparently not spoken to Furcal about the possibility before addressing the media Friday, something of a rookie manager hiccup.
Furcal met briefly with the media following Mattingly's daily media session, and afterward Mattingly quickly sought him out.
Gordon has played only 15 games, batting .268 with eight runs and four stolen bases. But he's brought an energy and speed to a team in dire need of it.
Furcal has been on the DL since June 4 with a strained left oblique. Furcal, 33, has been dogged by injuries and is in the last year of his contract and hitting .212. He is expected to begin a rehab assignment Monday or Tuesday.
In over 1,400 major-league games, Furcal has played second base 34 times.
Blake is not on the DL but is battling a pinched nerve in his neck. He has had a cortisone injection, and although he has pinch hit, he has started only twice in the past two weeks.

Yonkers Power Station
July 2002
|The Yonkers Power Station
of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad was constructed between 1904 and 1906. It was built as part of
the electrification of the rail lines spurred in part by dangerous conditions
caused by steam engines and related smoke, and also by the need for a completely
new and larger Grand Central Terminal. The brick power house and two smokestacks
stand as a solitary beacon to Hudson
Valley Ruins as one heads north from New York City. To call this building a ruin, is really a bit unfair however.
For it is still structurally sound enough to accommodate some adaptive reuse
However, current residential development proposals threaten the architectural integrity of the power station. The power stations remains unprotected as local-landmark legislation has been pending since an application was filed in the spring of 2005. In January 2008, the Preservation League of New York State named the Yonkers Power Station as one of its Seven to Save Most Endangered properties in New York State.
Please refer to the bottom of this page for updates regarding the progress of development plans at the Yonkers Power Station.
Generating Building. November 25, 2000
Glenwood must have been quite a sight at the turn of the last century. I wonder what Messrs. Walter G. Jones and Charles H. MacDonald, whose estates were adjacent to the east of the Power Station, thought of this edifice. The smokestacks surely made a mockery of the tallest of Mr. McDonald's "Seven Pines," as his estate was named. Their view of the Palisades was obstructed by progress. The Jones and McDonald mansions are now razed, replaced by apartment buildings, but not far north is the Glenview mansion, which is now the centerpiece of the Hudson River Museum. Even the combined wealth of Mr. John B. Trevor and his business associate and neighbor to the south, Mr. James. B. Colgate, wouldn't have been enough to convince New York Central to build elsewhere.
In 1936 the plant was
sold to a subsidiary of Con Ed, and the railroad was given free electricity for
five years. New York Central then purchased the energy, finding it cheaper than
to make it for itself. The plant doubled as a source of energy for Yonkers and
the surrounding area. The Power Station had "capacity sufficient to
care for the needs of a considerable part of the county" in 1950. I was told a a longtime Yonkers resident that when the long freight trains came
through the neighborhood, TV sets and electric lights dimmed and flickered. The
Yonkers Power Station was put on standby in the 1950s, and closed in the 1960s. The turbines and boilers have all been removed along with all other major
machinery, though much remains to be seen inside. The building was sold to a private party in the
late 1970s and has sat idle and vacant since.
There actually
are two major buildings here; the smaller substation and transformer building on the north and the main
generating building, which was described as follows by Frank Sanchis, in American Architecture: Westchester County,
New York.
The...plant juts out onto the Hudson River on the west side of the Hudson Line railroad tracks. The handsome corbelled cornice accentuates the ponderousness of the building's brick exterior walls. The lower brick portion is played against a much lighter roof superstructure constructed of metal members, which are exposed on the facade, and create an unexpectedly intricate pattern. The power house is topped by two tall, brick stacks, ringed with circular, metal tie rods.
Ponderousness. The weight of it all makes one ponder many things. How? Why? What happened here? . How does a place like this become abandoned? What makes it happen and why?
The generating building is split into two
sections. The turbine room in the northern half is a cavernous hall, like a great arcade of sorts,
open in the middle, surrounded by walkways on the side, with light filtering
in from the monitor roof above. A giant metal hook emblazoned "1" hangs
above the entrance on the east end. The pit down below is gutted and filled with
pools of stagnant water.
February 2008
The second floor
of this side of the building features the switchboard for the main generators,
behind an operating gallery from which a plant manager could supervise. Other odd remnants of
machinery lay about here and below. A staircase leads up to the third floor,
on which just a small walkway on the east end of the building connects
the two sides. An open-air walkway traverses the space between the generating building
and the substation.
The "Course of Empire : Desolation" view, as shown in "The Hudson : America's First River."
ROGER PANETTA: When I look at this scene, it reminds me of one of the last in the series of paintings by Thomas Cole in the Course of Empire. In the last one, there's a single classical column in which a vine is beginning to grow back over what is essentially the ruins of the great city. And I look at this, and this tells me that we're really at a junction, a transition, between the old industrial Hudson and a different kind of Hudson. The question is: What are we going to do with this site and many other sites like that along the Hudson?
The south side of the generating building contains the boiler chambers. The room is split into two halves, with an aisle leading to a view of the Hudson River, directly opposite the Palisades. On either side of the aisle are individual chambers, the walls of which have collapsed into large piles of brick. Small rooms at the east end were offices and bathrooms. The smokestacks and coal bins are supported well above the ground floor.
Crane inside the turbine hall.
I'd like to see this building live another life. In Baltimore, another power plant has been turned into a retail commercial complex. And in England, the Bankside Power Station has been turned into Tate Modern, Britain's new national museum of modern art in London. A monumental power station in Chester, PA, has been converted to offices. There are numerous possibilities for reuse that do not involve knocking down the smokestacks and chopping off the roof and dropping a 30-story glass tower on top.

The Yonkers Power Station was sold in the spring of 2012 to a new owner who is inclined to reuse the buildings. Subsequently the site was cleared of its overgrowth, marking the first sign of any official work at this site since the substation closed in the mid-1980s. Ivy was carefully removed from the walls of the power station and the substation buildings so that the mortar would be protected from the invasive plant. In addition to the landscape clean-up and removal of vegetation, engineering studies are being conducted to determine the integrity of the building and what if nay repairs must be made. Currently (as of late June 2012) there are no plans on file at Yonkers City Hall regarding the future development of this site.

The Journal News reported yesterday on a plan to redevelop the Yonkers Power Station. New owner Ron Shemesh and his company Glenwood POH plan to create a hotel and conference center within the existing buildings of the power station. The proposal calls for the preservation of the large generating building and for the construction of two stories to the smaller substation/transformer building. I have posted current photographs of the power station to my blog HV-Rob.
Cleanup work is occurring in and around the buildings of the Yonkers Power Station. The property seems to be under contract for sale, and the word I have received is that plans call for adaptive reuse of the structures. I will post any details I can as I receive more information. Thanks to reader Mike A. for alerting me to the work at the site. Some photos of the present condition may be seen at Lost In Time UE.
The Preservation League of New York State named the Yonkers Power Station to its annual list of Seven to Save Most Endangered Places list. The full press release can be read here.
Please join us Wednesday January 30, 2008 at the JFK Marina Park Pavilion in Yonkers for an important announcement by the Preservation League of New York State and others regarding the Yonkers Power Station.
The Yonkers Tribune announced last week that developer REMI Companies is withdrawing its development proposal for the Yonkers Power Station due to financial losses from the subprime mortgage crisis. Other developers, including Yonkers-based Homes For America Holdings, have expressed interest in the property.

Note regarding our Local Landmark application for the power station: The matter is still sitting with the City Council, which can approve Landmark designation with a positive vote. The City Council has yet to put the matter to vote, even though the application was submitted two and a half years ago.
Developer Erik Kaiser of Remi Companies and architect Will Alsop of SMC Alsop publicly unveiled their plans to develop the Yonkers Power Station site. Their plan to "preserve" what they acknowledged at the meeting to be a landmark includes the complete removal of two of the generating building's most iconic features, the smokestacks and the roof gables. The Yonkers Tribune reported on the meeting of March 30, 2007, at which the plan was announced. The article contains visual depictions for what is planned at the site.

The Yonkers Tribune reported today that REMI Companies hosted a public meeting with area residents to gain input regarding the future of the Yonkers Power Station property. The meeting was held December 14, 2006 and featured architect Will Alsop and Yonkers City Council Majority Leader Pat McDow. Supposedly this was the first step in the "process in which public input and dialogue would be promoted." Details can be found at the Yonkers Tribune website. I will however, excerpt, from the press release, by REMI Companies here: "The residents agreed with Alsop that the landmark building was worthy of preservation for residential and commercial uses." Here they refer to this building as a landmark but have thus far opposed having the building actually be declared a city landmark.

Built to supply electricity to trains headed to Grand Central Terminal, Yonkers Power Station is a testament to the industrial heritage of the Hudson River and is a prime candidate for adaptive reuse. This exhibition of photographs is accompanied by a new book, Hudson Valley Ruins: Forgotten Landmarks of an American Landscape.
World Architecture News has reported that Remi Companies has commissioned SMC Alsop to design a residential and museum component to the Yonkers Power Station. The announced project completion date is 2008.
The LWRP public meeting schedule for February 2nd at 7pm has been cancelled and will be rescheduled. The Steering Committee meeting will still be held starting at 5pm and the public may attend as observers.
A public meeting on the proposed Yonkers Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) will be held on Thursday, February 2nd at 7:00pm at the Yonkers Downtown Waterfront Library, 2nd Floor.
The LWRP is a key comprehensive "concept document" that outlines the City's vision for waterfront redevelopment. The draft document is 323 pages long and can be viewed at the City of Yonkers website: http://www.cityofyonkers.com/LWRP/lwrp%201-23-06.pdf. The document provides official recognition from the city that this building should be a part of Yonkers' future by touting the adaptive reuse potential of the Yonkers Power Station.
On November 2, 2005, the Yonkers Landmarks Preservation Board voted unanimously to recommend local Landmark status for the Yonkers Power Station. Previously the Yonkers Planning Board voted against recommending Landmark status. The Landmarks board voted on the technical merits of the application citing the history of the power station and its contribution to local and regional patterns of growth, that the architecture of the building is unique and distinct and is best protected through landmark status, and that adaptive reuse of similar power plants around the world have successfully transformed abandoned buildings which spurred local redevelopment. The City Council will next vote on official Landmark status.
Deirdre Hoare, Martin McGloin and myself presented our application for City Landmark Status for the power station to the Planning Board Wednesday night. They did not vote on the matter so that may happen at the September Planning Board meeting. Erik Kaiser of Remi Companies spoke against Landmark Status. Remi is under contract to purchase the site from K. Capolino Construction. While Kaiser seems to thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the architecture of the power station and other historic properties, he spoke of the (mistaken, in my opinion) belief that landmark status would interfere with a project that has been underway for some time, a belief also held by Yonkers City officials. (This project was not announced to the public until after our Landmark application was submitted to the City of Yonkers.) The Landmark Preservation Board has made it very clear to the Yonkers City Council that it is their intention to work with owners of historically significant properties to bring their sites back to life and become a vibrant part of the new communities that are being built or redeveloped, not to hinder redevelopment and make these sites stagnant. It is unfortunate that city officials do not recognize this, and continue to be detrimental of recent landmark efforts, as the mayor's spokesperson was quoted in the Sunday edition of the New York Times. Kaiser also made the surprise announcement that a demolition order for the building has been issued, with demo expected in September, but that he would like see what could be salvaged from the building and perhaps incorporate much of it into a new structure. I'll have updates on whether this demolition actually moves forward.
EDIT AUGUST 13, 2005: Apparently, from what we have been told by the Yonkers Building Department, there is *no* demolition order on file, and if the city did issue one, the city would have to pay for demolition - an unlikely scenario. There are violations on file, and what the city did do was ask for meeting (call to court?) the owner or developer to find out why the violations have not been corrected, including why building has not been secured against trespassing etc. So it looks like Glenwood is hanging on a while longer, though how long is anyone's guess.
The Yonkers Tribune - Hezi Aris' review of the August 10, 2005 Yonkers Planning Board meeting.
The Yonkers Planning Board will review the application to landmark the Yonkers Power Station at its next meeting, Wednesday August 10. The Journal News ran a story with positive quotes from two Yonkers' residents in its July 26, 2005 edition, entitled "Landmark Status Sought for Yonkers Power Plant," by Ernie Garcia.
On Wednesday, June 1, the Yonkers Landmarks Preservation Board accepted our application to locally landmark the Yonkers/Glenwood Power Station as complete, starting the review process. Next, the Planning Board and Landmarks Board must make recommendations before the City Council votes on designation. At the meeting, Remi Companies of New Jersey announced that they are in contract to buy the building. Remi has stated their intention to demolish the power station, although no definitive plans have been presented to the public.
I have changed the references from "Glenwood Power Station" to "Yonkers Power Station." This more accurately reflects the New York Central history. The earliest references state simply the "Yonkers power station" or "power house at Yonkers." An early trade journal names the site the "Yonkers Power Station of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad." The use of "Glenwood Power Station" does not appear to become common until the mid-20th century.
On Wednesday April 20, I, along with two Yonkers residents, submitted an application for Landmark designation of the Yonkers Power Station to the City of Yonkers Planning Department. The first step in the landmarking process is for the Landmarks preservation Board to review the application for completeness and then move to accept it and set the process in motion. The Landmarks board review was scheduled to occur Wednesday May 4, 2005. It was pulled from the agenda on Monday May 2, by Lee Ellman, head of the Planning Department. Clearly, this was not supposed to happen. It seems that City Hall is not interested in community input for redevelopment projects. One of criticisms of the Boyce Thompson application was that it was preceded by development plans. That excuse (ridiculous as it is, since we were opposed to the demolition of the BTI complex, when all other proposals not selected called for reuse of the main building from the beginning) cannot be used this time, despite efforts by City Hall to delay our application.
An application was also submitted by another party, and withheld from review by the Planning Department, for the Yonkers Pier, which the City would like to see redeveloped as a restaurant. This is the last remaining Pier of its kind in the Hudson Valley.
