Alexandria snow photos from this past weekend
 ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- The first snow of the season is always an exciting one. I took some photographs from around my complex. I've even got our still growing green tomatoes covered in snow. Sadly, our red one didn't really get any snow on it. I almost posted about it last week, but just got too busy.

Philadelphia's thumb drive skyscraper
 PHILADELPHIA -- Back in 2007, I shared my disappointment with the Comcast Center, a new skyscraper in the city of brotherly love. At 976 feet, it raised the roof, so to speak, on the Philly skyline. Prior to the Comcast Center's construction, the skyline was nearly symmetrical and featured 1 Liberty Place, an elegant modern building with a climatic spire, as its centerpiece. I am still not too fond of the Comcast Center, it sticks out like a sore thumb or actually, like a USB thumb drive. However, from the south end of 30th Street station it actually fits in pretty well.

The Wilson Bridge trail is wonderful - William World News

The Wilson Bridge trail is wonderful
 LOOKING WEST -- Foreground: Pedestrian signal for the drawspan. Background: Overlook and Wilson Bridge TrailOVER THE POTOMAC RIVER -- Last Saturday, the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge trail opened and on Monday, I bicycled on it for the first time. I thoroughly enjoyed my it, the trail is a triumph for several reasons. [ flickr : Photos tagged with wilsonbridgetrail/ slideshow] The trail, located on the northern bridge span (which actually carries I-95/495 SOUTH/WEST also known as the Capital Beltway's Outer Loop), is a comfortable 12 feet wide and enclosed by attractive fences on either side. The height of the fence on the river side is such that I can still see out, but not feel like it is too low. On the highway side, the fence is slightly lower, but reasonable. The grade of the trail, while steeper than the highway portion of the bridge on the Virginia approach, is barely noticeable. The pavement, concrete, is perfect, but that is too be expected. By itself, the trail is great, but the inclusion of information signs about local history and ecology and landscaping on each shore make it more than a non-motorized transportation corridor -- it is a linear park. There are also three overlooks on the span that provide more information signs, some mounted binoculars/telescopes and benches and northern views of Alexandria and Washington D.C. The magnification on some of the telescopes are stunning, so much so that I if I lived along the Alexandria waterfront, I might keep the blinds closed. On the Virginia side, the trail begins at the Washington Street deck which essentially a large overpass, that the Beltway travels under, with park like features. Additional trails to US 1 and the Mount Vernon Trail are adjacent connect here. Embedded compass-like wayfinders provide riders/walkers with guidance to these points.  On the Maryland side, the trail corkscrews on either side of the overpass spanning Capital Beltway (I-95/495). It looks steeper than it feels and is aesthetically pleasing. The overpass also includes a great deal of information about Prince George's County's early history as well as some ecological information. The trail diverts from the Beltway in direction of a trail to Oxon Hill Road and National Harbor. Upon entering the National Harbor property the pavement ends, something that will hopefully be rectified soon. There are unpaved trails all the way down to the completed National Harbor area that are annoying but were not a deal-breaker for me.  Even though it was a Monday, there were a fair amount of cyclists and pedestrians on the bridge. I chatted with a few, including a Park Police officer, about the project and the consensus was that this was an extremely well done project. There were lots of smiling cyclists on it. The only drawback seemed to be the lack of connections to other trails on the Maryland side, something that will have to be addressed by National Harbor and PG County. However, the biggest and hardest piece of the project is now complete and hopefully the connections will arrive soon. The stakeholders of the project, the Federal Highway Administration, the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of Maryland, the city of Alexandria and Prince George's County deserve a lot of praise for this latest and perhaps greatest addition to the area's trail network.

 UNIVERSITY PARK, Penna. -- As reported previously, elm yellows has invaded Penn State's elm population and there is little hope for survival.

Union Station centennial photos
 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This past weekend, Union Station celebrated its first century by displaying old locomotives and trains on the Gate B platform. Locomotives and cars from the Pennsylvania, Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O), Baltimore & Ohio (B&O), Southern and Atlantic Coast Line railroads were featured. Some of the cars allowed visitors too. The locomotive I really wanted to see, a New York Central 20th Century Limited Hudson was not featured because the were all regrettably scrapped. [ flickr : Union Station Centennial/ slideshow] The lighting, nothing more than work lights that you might use to paint your bathroom, left something to be desired. I used low light and night-time settings to get my shots. As always, the photos are SOOC (straight out of camera). Hopefully, they will find a reason to do this again in the future and have a little better lighting.

A final visit to Yankee Stadium - William World News

A final visit to Yankee Stadium
 THE BRONX -- Erica and I took her parents to their first game at Yankee Stadium. It was my fourth and final visit, the first being 20 years ago. Like that day, the Yankees played the Royals, but this time they won. It took 13 innings and heroics of CF Brett Gardner to win it after an exciting and frustrating day of Yankees baseball. Thankfully, it was a beautiful late summer day and we were sitting in shade, so the nearly five hour long game just flew by. The Bronx Bombers stranded about ten runners, including leaving the bases loaded at least twice. Were it not for several Kansas City errors, the Yanks might have been shutout. The day also featured the awkward experience of cheering for a pitcher that lacked the character to even play for Peter Angelo$. To his credit, Sidney Ponson pitched a pretty good game. We were not able to get in the Monument Park line before the game, so I still have not been there :(. I will have to settle for the new Monument Park across the street someday. I will have several posts about our trip over the next few days.

Four Mile Run Trail extension update
 ARLINGTON, Va. -- The other day I snapped a few shots of the new bikeway that will eliminate the gap in the Four Mile Run Trail. Most of the new trail will be on a viaduct that is built into the existing wall. There is not yet any indication on how it will be connected to the existing Four Mile Run Trail or W&OD Trail, but I'm sure they will work something out, even if it is just signs directing cyclists from the two trails. This will sure beat going over I-395 on the existing pedestrian bridge and having to ride along several Alexandria streets to get to the eastern section of the trail. It looks to be in pretty good shape now with a completion expected in March 2009.

Photo exhibit at Canadian embassy
Flashes of Memory - The PostI want to check out this photography exhibit at the Canadian Embassy. They were just moments in time, gone and forgotten, except that photographers from the Black Star Agency were there to catch them on film, and now they're on display in an exhibit of 330 photographs at the Canadian Embassy.
Founded in New York in 1935, Black Star was one of the great photography agencies of the golden age of photojournalism, supplying many of the classic black-and-white images seen by millions of people in Life, Look, the Saturday Evening Post and other magazines now long gone. Some anonymous philanthropist bought Black Star's collection of 291,049 photos and donated them to Canada's Ryerson University, which lent this tasty sampling to the embassy, where they will be displayed until Aug. 29. Sounds good, perhaps next month. Canadian Embassy, Black Star Agency, dc, photographyLabels: Arts and Culture, BeltwayLand, International, Photography, The District

I have now seen a win and a loss at Nationals Park
 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- My dad treated several of us to the Nats vs. Braves game. It was his first visit to Nationals Park. Though the game was delayed for an hour by a rain delay we still had a good time. The poor performance of the home nine in all areas of the game did not diminish our good time either, nor did the precocious kid from Richmond who was rooting for the Braves -- I gave as good as I got. My father said, "I need to go to more ballgames with you." A few other things: - I still haven't heard "Bustin' Loose" at Nationals Park yet. :(
- Sweet Caroline was not played!
- "Heart" would have been quite appropriate.
- I had two half-smokes, all the way. SOOOOOOOO good. The lines still need more efficiency though.
- Once again, Metro worked well.
- John Lannan had a rough outing, but he also had some defensive mistakes behind him.
- Jason Bergmann failed to cover home plate -- my dad wondered if Bergmann knew he had to field too. The young thrower was sent down to Columbus for re-education.
- Pitching coach Randy St. Claire has his hands full.
- The clock was way off.
- Replays are on the HD screen now.
- Can't anybody play this here game?!
- I love the new ballpark and in about two years, when the neighborhood grows around it, I think more people will too.

The New Newseum - William World News
Friday, April 04, 2008
The New Newseum
 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Since I am a "special friend" of the Newseum, I was able to get free preview tickets to the new museum. Erica, Fritz, dl004d (another media stuides major -- I'm not alone!) and Grand Marnier came along as well. Back when the Newseum was in the Rosslyn neighborhood of Arlington, Va., I went to original Newseum, which closed in late 2001/early 2002, several times over the years. In fact, when I worked in Rosslyn I parked in a garage at the old Newseum. The beginning starts of our visit was a little awkward.. Newseum guides recommended we start on the lower level, past the Berlin Wall and into the "holding center" to wait for the next showing of the 4D movie. Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as it sounds. Several panels of the wall and a death tower are on display. The wall is not much more than a giant Jersey barrier with graffiti on one side, the barbed wire is all missing. After moving on into the holding center, 4D glasses (stylish!) are given out and a video about "getting it right" is played. The 4D movie about the power of the media in America is quite good, both for the technology and the message. It is also unintentionally funny in the beginning. From there, we took the elevator to the sixth floor. They have an outdoor observation area that details the history of Pennsylvania Ave. and provides excellent views. The view of the Capitol building would be absolutely perfect, but for the fact there are maple leaf flags all over the adjacent building, an embassy, across the corner. It is a harsh reminder of Canadian domination on American life. The sixth floor also includes digital versions of today's newspapers. Moving down to the fifth floor we checked out the history gallery. Newspapers in clear display drawers are heavily featured as well as other artifacts from news gathering. This area is significantly bigger than the previous Newseum -- you could spend all day right there. One disappointment though - the FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD Daily News was not featured. How can you skip that if you are having a gallery of famous newspaper fronts? I skipped the books gallery - next time I'll check it out. I recall there being an exhibit about Edward R. Murrow on that floor as well. The fourth floor features a 9/11 exhibit with a TV antenna from the World Trade Center, a time line of events and newspaper front pages. Photography is prohibited, which was fine with me. Having felt my office building shake when the Pentagon was attacked, I don't need to have reminders of that day. Also on the fourth floor was an exhibit on the First Amendment, which was quite interesting. We were reminded that burping is not covered by the First Amendment. The third floor featured the Journalists Memorial and (if I recall correctly) the bombed out remains of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles Datsun. He was killed in the 1970s while investigating mafia. World news is also explored on this floor. I found the color-coded Press Freedom map of most interest. Since being "On TV" was not of any interest to me, the third floor was skipped. You can do a newscast there with assorted backdrops. It did not seem very well organized. The second floor is the Hall of News with a large screen featuring still photographs of major news events and a ticker that uses mixed-case letters instead of all capitals, which pleased dl004d. A satellite and news helicopter hang at this level. Interactivity is a big part of the Newseum experience. There are touchscreen monitors all over the place. There is a downside to this though, the touch screens provide many opportunities to see bad news like the Challenger explosion or several different assassinations. It gets to be a bit much. Despite spending over four hours in the Newseum, we really just skimmed it. It would probably take several days to see everything there. Also, we stopped by "The Food Section" a cafeteria with Wolfgang Puck food. The prices were high, but the quality was fairly good. On that level there is the first satellite news truck as well as a small exhibit on comics. Overall, all were quite pleased with the new Newseum. I am sure I will go back sometime, but at $20 admission, it will probably be a while. Even at that price though, the Newseum is a good value if you can devote a day to spending in it.

The Awakening
 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- On the final full day of its tenure at Hains Point, East Potomac Park, I visited The Awakening, a famous sculpture by J. Seward Johnson. After over 27 years in this location, the sculpture is being moved to the National Harbor development in Prince George's County, Md. Hains Point won't be the same without The Awakening. I visited or pedaled by it many times. It will be very odd, if not unsettling, to see that part of Hains Point empty the next time I bike through there. At least it isn't going far, though I wonder if we'll have to pay to park at National Harbor to see it when it is installed there.

Up close: Hawk and its prey - William World News
Up close: Hawk and its prey
 ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- On Sunday, I was going to take photographs of my dirty car when I noticed a hawk several yards in front of me attacking a squirrel. The two went at it for about three minutes before the hawk pinned the squirrel down and suffocated it. My brother, who arrived in the parking lot not long after I did, thinks it was a red tail hawk, a.k.a. chicken hawk. The hawk wound up dragging the squirrel around for a while. I got bored and went out to complete the original task. Later, when I was in the parking lot again, the squirrel was in the grass, but the hawk had left. That was easily the closest I had ever gotten to a big raptor. It isn't the only wild life around our complex either -- we've seen a doe and her fawn several times between Van Dorn Street and I-395.

Star Wars exhibit reaches Philly this weekend
 Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination, a traveling exhibit, is setting up shop in Franklin Institute in Philadelphia this weekend. Two years ago, during our Jaunary 2006 trip to Boston, we saw it at the Museum of Science. My brief review of the exhibit: ...has lots of models and costumes from the entire saga. The "science" of Star Wars galaxy is explained and compared with contemporary science from this galaxy. In some ways, we are not far off from things in the Star Wars universe, but sadly lightsaber technology remains elusive. Also, the Millennium Falcon is worth doing too. Sadly, we were not allowed to take any photos inside the Falcon. The Inky preview is critical of the "science" part of the exhibit which is a reasonable assessment, but not many people are there for the science anyway. Both Erica and I really enjoyed the exhibit, more so than the one the Smithsonian had in the late 1990s. Since Philly is less than three hours up I-95 from D.C. so you can make a day-trip out of the visit. If you want to make a weekend out of it gophila.com has a package. I recommend buying tickets in advance though to avoid the lines, particularly for the Falcon simulator which is a separate admission. The exhibit runs until May 2008.

Muir Woods and the Bohemian Grove
 MILL VALLEY, Calif. -- On day 3 of our San Francisco trip, David drove us out to Muir Woods National Monument. We went for a short hike through the redwoods and comprehended their enormous size. They are big and the woods were dark and damp. I think going there on a sunny day would be a waste of good weather, because I don't think much sunlight can penetrate those tree canopies. We also joked around with each other and got asked by two separate people if we were going to game, meaning the women's volleyball national championship featuring Penn State. We weren't and even turned down a ticket. Yes, I was wearing my Penn State hockey jersey. Of interest to me was the plaque about the Bohemian Grove. I wasn't surprised to learn that it started there and even less surprised that it was moved to private land elsewhere. In case you are not familiar with the Bohemian Grove, it is a gathering of some of the most powerful men in the country. They get together to drink, dress in drag and perform creepy ancient rituals. In essence, the Bohemian Grove is the world's most powerful sausage party. These are the types of things one learns in political economy courses.

 SAN FRANCISCO -- We stopped by Coit Tower, which may or may not be the world's largest concrete fire hose nozzle, on our second day of the trip. We took a cab, driven by an American oddly enough, up Telegraph Hill and took in the excellent views. After we had enough of the parking lot, we went into the tower, looked at the frescoes with a strong labor theme and paid our admission for the elevator ride to the top. Once there we took in the even better views and took a lot of photographs.
