Poison $2.03 In 1990, it was still fairly novel to mix R&B songcraft with overpowering hip-hop beats, so this spinoff by New Edition members Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe seemed innovative and exciting. Sadly it hasn’t aged well. None of the three are compelling singers, and they lack the ability to plead for love effectively (anyone can demand love, but a true soulman has to convince a reluctan… |

100 Ranger Greats: Superstars, Unsung Heroes and Colorful Characters $0.05 WHO ARE THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK RANGERS?From the uppermost reaches of Madison Square Garden to the subway platforms below, in living rooms and in taxicabs, it’s a debate that’s been raging for over eight decades and now continues on the pages of 100 Ranger Greats.Authors Russ Cohen, John Halligan and Adam Raider scoured the Rangers’ all-time roster to bring you the 100 men who each left an indelible mark on the game as a member of New York’s “Original Six” hockey club.From Bill Cook and Lorne (Gump) Worsley to Jaromir Jagr and Henrik Lundqvist, the players who have best exemplified the club motto “pride, passion and tradition” are profiled and ranked in this very special publication created just for Rangers fans, perhaps the most fiercely loyal (and opinionated) fans in all of sports.Lavishly illustrated and full of colorful anecdotes and compelling facts, 100 Ranger Greats will provoke, entertain, and enlighten Rangers fans of all ages. This could be the most complete history of the Broadway Blueshirts ever written. |

1123 Establishments: St Bartholomew’s Hospital, St Bartholomew-The-Great, Furness Abbey, Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick, House of Lippe $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: St Bartholomew’s Hospital, also known as Barts, is a hospital in Smithfield in the City of London, England. It was founded in 1123 by Raherus or Rahere (died 1144, and entombed in the nearby priory church of St Bartholomew-the-Great), a favourite courtier of King Henry I. The Dissolution of the Monasteries did not affect the running of Barts as a hospital, but left it in a precarious position by removing its income. It was refounded by Henry VIII in December 1546, on the signing of an agreement granting the hospital to the City of London, which was reaffirmed in the Letters Patent of January 1547 endowing it with properties and income. The hospital became legally known as the “House of the Poore in West Smithfield in the suburbs of the City of London of Henry VIII’s Foundation”, although the title was never used by the general public. The first superintendent of the hospital was Thomas Vicary; sergeant-surgeon to Henry and an early writer on anatomy. Upon the foundation of the National Health Service in 1948, it officially became known as St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. It is the oldest surviving hospital in England and has an important current role as well as a long history and architecturally important buildings. The Henry VIII entrance to the hospital shown in the photograph is still the main public entrance; the statue of Henry VIII is the only public statue of him in London. On an adjoining wall, William Wallace is honoured with a plaque (unveiled 1956), marking the site of his execution in 1305. The main square was designed by James Gibbs in the 1730s: of the four original blocks only three survive, this includes the block containing the Great Hall and two flanking blocks that contained wards. The first wing to be built was the North wing,… More: |

Founded in 1215 by Sultan Al-Adil I . He was buried in the school. And his son Al-Mu’azzam finished building the school. The madrasa is considered an important example of Ayyubid architecture in Syria. Architechure The general plan of the madrasa is organized around the central square courtyard (sahn ) that distributes the various functions on its four sides. The southern courtyard façade precedes the prayer hall, while the northern side opens to a large iwan . The western side has been completely renewed in the last century but used to lead to a series of residential cells. It includes the staircase that leads to the second story of cells and smaller halls. The eastern façade leads to the main entrance of the madrasa through a large hall covered with a stone vault. The main door is on the same axis of the eastern opening to the courtyard. The monolithic façades are constructed from limestone blocks 60 centimetres (24 in) high.

Chapters: States and Territories Established in 1278, Andorra, Lahr, Archbishopric of Salzburg, Ipswich Whitefriars, Camposanto Monumentale, Sternburg Export. Excerpt: The Camposanto Monumentale.Interior Courtyard.The Camposanto Monumentale (“monumental cemetery”) is a historical edifice at the northern edge of the Cathedral Square in Pisa , Italy .”Campo Santo” can be literally translated as “holy field”, because it is said to have been built around a shipload of sacred soil from Golgotha , brought back to Pisa from the Fourth Crusade by Ubaldo de’ Lanfranchi, archbishop of Pisa in the 12th century. A legend claims that bodies buried in that ground will rot in just 24 hours. The burial ground lies over the ruins of the old baptistery of the church of Santa Reparata, the church that once stood where the cathedral now stands. The term “monumental” serves to differentiate it from the later-established urban cemetery in Pisa. It is also called camposanto vecchio (“old cemetery”).History The building was the fourth and last one to be raised in the Cathedral Square. It dates from a century after the bringing of the soil from Golgotha, and was erected over the earlier burial ground.The construction of this huge, oblong Gothic cloister was begun in 1278 by the architect Giovanni di Simone. He died in 1284 when Pisa suffered a defeat in the naval battle of Meloria against the Genoans . The cemetery was only completed in 1464.It seems that the building was not meant to be a real cemetery, but a church called Santissima Trinità (Most Holy Trinity ), but the project changed during the construction. However we know that the original part was the western one (and this should be, at least for a while, the mentioned church), and all the eastern part was the last to be made and closing |

The Old Market Hall was one of the earliest forms of prefabricated buildings; it was erected in less than four months. It bears the Royal Coat of Arms of Queen Elizabeth I, with the date of 1596, and the supporters are the English Lion and the Welsh dragon. On the North side of the Old Market Hall there is a statue of the Duke of York; it is the only one in the whole country.

1610s Paintings $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Descent from the Cross is the central panel of a triptych painting by Peter Paul Rubens in 1612-1614. The painting is the second of Rubens’s great altarpieces for the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp, Belgium, along with The Elevation of the Cross. The subject was one Rubens returned to again and again in his career. This particular work was commissioned on September 7, 1611, by the Confraternity of the Arquebusiers, whose Patron Saint was St. Christopher. View of the whole triptych.Although essentially Baroque, the oil on panel piece is rooted in the Venetian tradition, and likely influenced by the work of Daniele da Volterra, Federico Barocci and Cigoli, amongst others. In its composition and use of light, the triptych recalls Caravaggio’s Roman period. Sequentially, the triptych describes the Visitation, the Descent from the Cross, and the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. Theophile Silvestre wrote, in his “On Rubens’ Descent from the Cross – 1868″: The principal subject is composed of nine figures: at the top of two ladders, workers are lowering the body of Christ with the aid of a shroud which one of them holds in his teeth, the other in the left hand. Bracing themselves firmly against the arms of the cross, each bends forward to guide the Christ with the hand that is left free while St. John, with one foot on the ladder and his back arched, supports him most energetically. One of Saviors feet comes to rest on the beautiful shoulder of the Magdalene, grazing her golden hair. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, placed midway on ladders so as to face each other, form, together with the two workmen in the upper part of the picture, a square of vigorous but plebeian figures. The Virgin, standing at the foot of the sacrificial tree, exte… More: |

It was built on the plan of elongated rectangular with two hexagonal towers at garden side of the building. The palace was adorned with sculptures – allegory of Poland above the main portal, four figures of kings of Poland in the niches and a statue of Minerva crowning the roof. Possible inspiration to palace’s upper parts pavilion with characteristic roof was Bonifaz Wohlmut’s reconstruction of Belvedere in Prague , 1557-1563.After the Chancellor’s death the property was inherited by his daughter Helena Tekla Ossoliska , wife of Aleksander Micha Lubomirski , Starost of Sandomierz (from whom it takes its name). Later, between 1681-96, it was rebuilt and remodeled by Tylman van Gameren and Giovanni Bellotti for Prince Józef Karol Lubomirski – Aleksander Micha’s son.In 1750, Heinrich von Brühl bought the palace as a residence. Between 1754-59 it was rebuilt according to designs by Johann Friedrich Knöbel and Joachim Daniel von Jauch . The palace was enhanced and covered with a mansard roof .

Club Square

All good golfers have one thing in common and that is the ability control the ball by being able to play a variety of shots. The most common and useful of these is the draw and the fade and if you can learn how to draw or fade a golf ball your golf will improve dramatically. In this article I am going to give you two easy steps to learn how to hit each shot.
But first…
You need to know what causes a draw or a fade. There are only nine possible golf shots that you can play and these are:
- Draw
- Fade
- Straight
- Push
- Slice
- Push Slice
- Hook
- Pull and
- Pull hook
I will be concentrating on the first 2 only although it is useful to understand all of them.
The Draw.
Preferred and admired by most golfers. Somehow it just looks so good when you hit a sweet draw, and it goes further than any other shot because of the top spin. To hit a draw you must have:
- An in-to-out swing path and
- A square club face angle through impact.
That is all you need and both must be present.
Getting your club face square is the easiest part because you can adjust with the eye and practice until it is right. Sometimes you might think the club face is square at address but it might not be. Get a friend to stand behind and in front of the target line and also directly in front of you to check this.
The swing is a little bit more complicated and will need some muscle training through the use of drills to get out of old habits.
Simple drills repeated often are best. I said repeated often which means hours a day until they become natural.
Here is a particularly simple and easy to repeat one. It’s called the Back and Under.
Description.
Take an appropriate stance with the club of choice and elevate it so the club is about 11/2 feet off the ground. Make a back swing that is not pulled quickly inside. Note the angle of the plane going back. Now make a forward swing in which the angle of the plane is under or shallower than the backswing plane bringing the club back to the ball on the ground – the point of contact.
Back and under – back and under. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
The Fade.
Popular for the ability to control the ball especially on landing as the backspin causes it to stop quicker than a draw.
Once again to hit a fade you have to have the following two things:
- An out-to-in swing path and
- An square club face angle through impact.
Both these elements must be present.
Getting the club face square is easy enough as once again you just make the visual adjustments till you get it right.
The swing for more than 95% of golfers should be easy because it is the same out-to-in swing that causes the slice. So if you fall into this 95% you only have to get your club face angle square through impact to land up with a fade.
If you are one of the 5% that do not fall into this category the suggestion is stay with what you’ve got unless you want to learn the fade for those times when you need it.
The drill for the backswing is called the Straight and Over.
Once again this should be done in slow motion at first.
Description.
Address your ball as normal using any club of choice and make a backswing making sure to take your club straight back along the target line. Note the angle of the plane going back. Now make a forward swing in which the angle of the plane is over or steeper than the plane as you return the club back to the ball on the ground – the point of contact.
If you have ever heard the term “casting” using in golf and never understood what it meant this drill might make the penny drop.
Straight and over – straight and over. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
As can be seen from the above it is not that difficult to learn how to draw or fade a golf ball if you know what to do. Take some time to learn what causes all the 9 different ball flights and it all becomes a lot clearer.
If you can you learn how to draw and fade the ball you will start shooting better golf as you use them to control distance and angle of approach whilst playing.
Learning to play better golf need not be difficult.
Whether it is your driving, your iron play, your short game or putting get the basics right and the game becomes easier. Its similar in a way to driving a car – at first there is so much to do and remember but after a while it becomes second nature.
The secret is to practice and practice the right things as Bob Eldridge and his team will tell you over at Pure Point Golf [http://www.playthelie.info].

Happy golfing!
Can anyone recommend a bar or club overlooking times square?
You can go the “The View” at the Marriott Marquis, which has a 360 degree view. It’s a bit pricey though.
For other places right in Times Square, check out Spotlight Live which is a bar and lounge right in Times Square–it’s a fun place to go with a group. It has a stage with back-up singers and dancers and you can get on stage and sing with them along with recording booths. It turns into a full-on club at 11, so once you’re in you’re good. They have a cool bar and cool set-up and decent food if you are looking to eat.
There is also the Whiskey Bar right in the W Hotel, which is a more upscale bar and lounge. Very fun with a group with a good mix of music–there is a cover charge.
