Test Cards on the High Line
Posted: April 14, 2024 Filed under: Entertainment, Home and Garden | Tags: art, billboard, Chelsea, colorful, dievca, High Line, Life, NYC, photo, smile Leave a commentA test card, also known as a test pattern or start-up/closedown test, is a television test signal, typically broadcast at times when the transmitter is active but no program is being broadcast (often at sign-on and sign-off).
Used since the earliest TV broadcasts, test cards were originally physical cards at which a television camera was pointed, allowing for simple adjustments of picture quality. Such cards are still often used for calibration, alignment, and matching of cameras and camcorders. From the 1950s, test card images were built into monoscope tubes which freed up the use of TV cameras which would otherwise have to be rotated to continuously broadcast physical test cards during downtime hours.

From ABC NYC Channel 7:
The needle-nosed aircraft left Pier 86 on Aug. 9, 2023 for a restoration project at the Brooklyn Navy Yard that included sanding and repainting.
It was barged from Brooklyn to a Jersey City, New Jersey, dock for storage overnight Wednesday prior to being reinstalled on the pier on Thursday.
On Thursday it made an hours-long journey back to the Intrepid Sea and Space Museum where it was lifted by crane.
The airplane got a fresh coat of paint and other repairs from exposure to the year-round elements during the months-long restoration project in Brooklyn.
The Concorde is the only supersonic commercial jet that ever flew. The Intrepid’s British Airways Concorde still holds the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing by a passenger aircraft – 2 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds from Heathrow to JFK.
It first arrived at the Intrepid in 2003. Public tours of the jet will resume on April 4, museum officials said.

Part of living in the City

The bonus is getting an older cabbie who is flustered with backing up his cab and can’t handle it if you suggest getting out of the cab to walk.

Maybe that is Global Warming….
Anyways, it was a lovely sunny day in NYC, yesterday – but cool. And will be the same today.
Which makes the sunsets, something to behold:

Moonset on the Van Wyck

The “red eye” from LA was bumpy, so dievca wasn’t feeling fabulous. she had to run to work, but fell asleep at 6 pm. Her body is coming back together this morning.
The question is…will dievca come into $ after shaking her wallet at the Full Moon, twice?
Hope so~

Flashback – Cadillac

They were a b*tch to parallel park.
Why is the song “low rider” flitting through dievca’s head?

Disrupting migration patterns in NYC
Posted: September 12, 2023 Filed under: Entertainment, Home and Garden, Neighborhood Anecdotes (NYC) | Tags: 9/11, Audubon, Bird Migration, challenges, dievca, Life, Lights, Memorial, NYC, photo, World Trade Center Leave a commentThe things that no one realizes will be a problem….and the solution.
The Tribute in Light is an iconic scene in New York City on Sept. 11. The art installation honors those killed in the 2001 attacks and the resolve of the city in the following days, months and years.
The lights beam from dusk to dawn every year. However, birds can briefly interrupt the tribute.
Volunteers with the group New York City Audubon monitor the beams from 8 p.m. on Sept. 11 to 6 a.m. on Sept. 12.
Armed with binoculars, volunteers gather on the roof of a parking garage in lower Manhattan, monitoring whether the beams of light are disrupting migration patterns.
“When they see habitat or sky either reflected in glass, or through it, such as in a courtyard, the birds collide at full speed,” NYC Audubon states. “Many die on impact.”
The volunteers count the birds caught up in the beams. When they reach a threshold of 1,000, the organization puts in a request to have the lights shut off for 15 to 20 minutes.
New York City Audubon says the organizers of the tribute are always respectful of its request, which allows the birds to reorient themselves and continue on their journey.
In 2022, New York City Audubon did not request for the lights to be turned off at any point. It was a rainy night, which the organization said led to low migration activity.
Rain is also in the forecast for Monday night in New York City, which could again lead to fewer birds migrating in the area.

That has not been true in September. We are hitting the 90’s. NYC has not been roasting with an Indian Summer (An Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere.) – its been steamed like a soup dumpling.

The morning offers lightning~
Posted: July 21, 2023 Filed under: Discussion, Entertainment, Home and Garden | Tags: dievca, Humor, Life, Morning, NYC, photo, Thunderstoms, Weather, World Trade Center Leave a commentLightning is erratic, so people try to impose order—even if that order leads to more disorder in the form of myths. As it happens, lightning does strike in the same place twice—and sometimes more. Take the Empire State Building, for instance. The New York City art-deco landmark is struck nearly 100 times a year.
Some people think that lightning rods actively draw lighting. That is a myth; they help dissipate electrical energy if it forms. But get this: Lightning rods did attract attention from European fashionistas in the late 18th century. According to the Lubbock Morning Avalanche’s May 13, 1933, edition, ladies of the haute mode were wearing lightning rods attached to their hats, hats known as chapeau paratonnerre. The so-called rods, the paper said, “consisted of a woven metal ribbon which encircled the hat and terminated in a long silver cord trailing on the ground.”

Are egg sandwiches a New York thing?
The bacon egg and cheese sandwich is the quintessential New York-style breakfast. Quite simply, it includes crispy bacon, fried eggs, yellow American cheese, all piled onto a poppy seed sandwich roll. As simple as it is, it’s often hard to find anywhere outside of the New York metro area.

There was a lot of scaffolding and it wasn’t completed. Then the clothing store Century 21 closed during COVID and dievca never got to see the Oculus without obstruction.
Well, Century 21 has reopened and dievca was able to see the completed project. What fun!
More tomorrow.
