6. Taliesin Preservation: Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center Spring Green
Taliesin , sometimes known as Taliesin East, Taliesin Spring Green, or Taliesin North after 1937, was the estate of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Located 2.5 miles south of the village of Spring Green, Wisconsin, United States, the 600-acre property was developed on land that originally belonged to Wright's maternal family. Wright designed the Taliesin structure two years after leaving his first wife and home in Oak Park, Illinois with a mistress, Mamah Borthwick. The design of the original building was consistent with the design principles of the Prairie School, emulating the flatness of the plains and the natural limestone outcroppings of Wisconsin's Driftless Area. The structure was completed in 1911. Wright rebuilt the Taliesin residential wing in 1914 after a disgruntled empl...

Cave of the Mounds, a natural limestone cave located near Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, United States, is named for two nearby hills called the Blue Mounds.

The Chicago Academy of Sciences considers the Cave of the Mounds to be the significant cave of the upper Midwest because of its beauty, and it is promoted as the jewel box of major American caves. In 1987, the United States Department of the Interior and the National Park Service designated the cave as a National Natural Landmark.

East Troy Videos

WALKING THROUGH CHICAGO'S O BLOCK HOOD AT NIGHT

I WALK IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE VIDEO.

Bride Killed in Helicopter Crash (Warning: Distressing Footage)

Warning: This is a distressing video. A video has been released showing a helicopter crash that killed four people on board a helicopter en-route to a wedding (December, 2016). The 32-year-old bride, Rosemere do Nascimento, had planned to surprise her fiancé Udirley Damasceno, who was waiting at the altar when the chopper crash landed a mile from the reception venue in a rural area on the outskirts of Sao Paulo in Brazil.

While it's *generally* unfair to speculate, the R44 piston machine was in what clearly appears to be IMC. Watch what happens to the aggressive bank around the 1:42 min mark before control is lost. It was careless flying.

All occupants (including a pregnant photopgrapher, Nayla Cristina Neves) were killed.

Show Notes:
- This was the first U.S. show for the band to not feature an encore break since BFD 2011 in Mountain View, CA on June 5, 2011, over two years prior.
- Chester messed up the lyrics to the second chorus on 'New Divide'.
- Chester and Mike both talked about their past history playing on the Sunset Strip before 'LIES GREED MISERY'.
- Mike rapped verse two of 'UNTIL IT BREAKS' over the intro to 'Waiting For The End'.
- Mike and Chester both sang part of the lyrics to 'Numb/Encore' over the outro of 'Numb'.
- Mike rapped verse one of 'Reading My Eyes' over the bridge of 'Bleed It Out'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Notes:
- The show on February 16, 2013 at Las Vegas's Planet Hollywood Live was announced and promoted as being Linkin Park's only United States show for 2013. However, things changed when the band was asked to play the Sunset Strip Music Festival, which they announced on May 13, 2013. Mike's statement in the announcement read, We played our first shows as a band in 1998, on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. When we were approached about an opportunity to play a special show on the strip, we couldn't say no. We are excited to announce that we'll be headlining the Sunset Strip Music Festival in West Hollywood, CA on August 3. This time we mean it... this will be the ONLY U.S. show for the rest of 2013.
- In early June, Mike designed flyers to hand out to promote the show. Phoenix and Brad joined him to walk around Los Angeles (including the UCLA campus) and hand these flyers out to the public to promote the show. Fans were able to meet the band during this and an LPTV episode was made that documents it. The band did this promo as they used to do it when they played on the Sunset Strip as Xero, Hybrid Theory and Linkin Park.
- Along with the band headlining the festival, SSMF allowed LP to set up an LPU-only section at the front of the stage for fanclub members. This is the first time in Linkin Park history where this has been done.
- KTLA 5 in Los Angeles livestreamed the concert up until midway through 'CASTLE OF GLASS'. Doug Kolk, a KTLA news reporter, was there to film a news package for the station but the station streamed the first ten and a half songs on their website from a camera located on a building halfway back in the crowd.
- Chester, Mike and Joe watched AWOLNATION's set (directly before Linkin Park) from side stage. Mike actually came out on stage while the band played.

Westin Hotel, time square, Midtown New York City (view from 35th floor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Times Square
Times Square is a major commercial intersection in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. Times Square -- iconified as The Crossroads of the World[1][2][3][4][5] and the The Great White Way[6][7][8] -- is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theater district,[9] one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections,[10] and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.[11] According to Travel + Leisure magazine's October 2011 survey, Times Square is the world's most visited tourist attraction, bringing in over 39 million visitors annually.[12]

Formerly Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in April 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the newly erected Times Building -- now called One Times Square -- site of the annual ball drop on New Year's Eve.[13]

The northern triangle of Times Square is technically Duffy Square, dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment; a memorial to Duffy is located there, along with a statue of George M. Cohan, and the TKTS discount theatre tickets booth. The stepped red roof of the TKTS booth also provides seating for various events. The Duffy Statue and the square were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[14]
Early history

Before and after the American Revolution, the area belonged to John Morin Scott, a general of the New York militia, in which he served under George Washington. Scott's manor house was at what is currently 43rd Street, surrounded by countryside used for farming and breeding horses. In the first half of the 19th century it became one of the prized possessions of John Jacob Astor, who made a second fortune selling off lots to hotels and other real estate concerns as the city rapidly spread uptown.[15] By 1872 the area had become the center of New York's carriage industry. The area not having previously been named, the city authorities called it Longacre Square after Long Acre in London, where the carriage trade in that city was centered.[16]
The Hudson River is a 315-mile (507 km) watercourse that flows from north to south through eastern New York State in the United States. The river begins at Henderson Lake in Newcomb, New York. The river flows southward past the state capital at Albany and then eventually forms the boundary between New York City and the U.S. state of New Jersey at its mouth before emptying into Upper New York Bay. Its lower half is a tidal estuary,[3] which occupies the Hudson Fjord. This formed during the most recent North American glaciation over the latter part of the Wisconsin Stage of the Last Glacial Maximum, 26,000 to 13,300 years ago.[4] Tidal waters influence the Hudson's flow as far north as Troy, New York.
In 1930, hotel owners Severt W. Thurston and Frank Dupar, both of Seattle, Washington USA, formed a partnership in order to manage their hotels more efficiently. Together with Peter and Adolph Schmidt they formed Western Hotels, with seventeen properties, all but one in the state of Washington.[1]

Early management developed each property individually. After more than two decades of rapid growth, prompting a name change in 1954 to Western International Hotels, many of its properties were merged into a single corporate structure in 1958, and the company went public in 1963. For its 50th anniversary in 1980, it changed its name again to the current Westin Hotels & Resorts.
Westin markets certain amenities available in its properties to the public under the brand name Heavenly. In 2005, Westin became the first hotel company to gain a national retail store presence when Nordstrom started carrying the Heavenly Bed line in more than 60 stores.

Westin refreshed its partnership with United Airlines in 2008. United offers pillows and blankets from their Heavenly Bed line on select United premium service routes between New York City and California, as well as Westin decorations and scents in some Red Carpet Club lounges.[3]
Especially in the last decade, Westin has focused on expanding globally. Since 2005, the number of hotels has grown from 120 locations in 24 countries to over 160 locations in 37 countries as of 2011.
