| top ten subway horrors | | 2008-08-24 20:54:00 | | The inspiration for this post about the NY subway comes from another blogger, Allie from Wardrobe Oxygen. In her post, The Commuter Curse, she talks about the effect that riding the subway has on women's fashion sense.I agree with most of what she writes, but more times than not, I do wear my sneakers to commute, and while I realize I don't look fabulous, I just don't like wearing my pretty heels for long and hurried walks to and from work. It's too quick a way to destroy my shoes.Back to Allie's post, I remember reading it and thinking: "While fashion disasters do displease my eyes, there are a few other things on the subway that tick me off more than a fancy suit paired with running sneakers!"So here is my list of "top ten subway horrors":10) LOUD people that talk about NOTHING INTERESTING for 30 minutes straight!Blah, blah, blah, and then she was blah, blah, blah, blah, and so I was blah, blah, blah...9) Women that put their makeup on!Applying makeup is a very personal and private r... | | By: NY SPENDER | | |

| Nagoya Tram and Subway Museum | | 2008-06-16 04:13:00 | | I visited the Nagoya Tram and Subway Museum earlier in the week.Its near Akaike subway station on the Tsuramai Line.Theres a wall map at the station.The museum is basically a block behind the station.Turn right as you leave Exit 2.Walk straight down the hill.At the end of the street turn right and head towards the traffic lights and Route 153.At the intersection cross the road and turn right.You should be heading up the hill on Route 153.Theres a big sign indicating the museum over the traffic lanes.There are four old tram and subway cars on display in the Museum.In the middle of the display hall there are a number of computer and interactive displays which proved popular with the noisy throngs of kids present.Another drawcard was the large model railway based loosely on Nagoya.There were model buildings of JR Central Towers and Nagoya TV Tower around which model shinkansen trains circled endlessly.With their noses and fingers pressed firmly against the display glass an employee was c... | | By: porcelain-monkey | | |

| Subway Series Delivers Embarrasment To Girardi, Yankees | | 2008-05-19 09:45:00 | | Filip Bondy/New York Daily News:During the ninth inning Sunday night at Yankee Stadium, the lame-duck cathedral sounded as if there were only Met fans left in the Bronx. The visitors were up by nine, on the way to an 11-2 clobbering. The fans with the curlicue N-Y's on their caps stood and cheered, alone, triumphant. It was hard to imagine a more humiliating moment for the Yanks and their new manager, Joe Girardi. Their two best starters were knocked around like bums for two days by cross-city rivals, who had scored a total of 18 runs in 18 innings - not counting a three-run homer by Carlos Delgado, incorrectly ruled foul by overzealous, overruling umpires. This is how bad it was: If Joe Torre were still managing here, then he probably wouldn't be managing here anymore. Funny how a wet, one-sided weekend can change everything. Willie Randolph entered the borough on Friday reeling and rationalizing. He was supposedly losing control of his clubhouse. Two games later, the Mets are one g... | | By: The Bronx Stop: Just Another New York Yankees Blog | | |

Joe Girardi just told the media that Rodriguez will not be activated this week, meaning he’s out for the Mets series. “We can’t afford to have him come back for two days then lose him for six weeks,” Girardi said. “We want to have him fully healed.”Girardi did say that A-Rod may be able to play in an extended spring training game at the end of this week.

| Metro subway in Luxembourg | | 2008-03-10 17:18:15 | | The ADR (Alternative Democratic Reform Party*) thinks that the best solution for the future of public transportation in Luxembourg would be a metro, not the tramway. The building of a subway tunnel in only three years in Leipzig is cited has an example. Leipzig has 500 000 habitants, five times more than Luxembourg (surrounding comunes included). The city tunnel was built to complete the suburban train system, and it's not a metropolitan subway. A similar project in Luxembourg would mean extending the train lines from the Gare up to Kirchberg, with an additional central station in the Centre-Ville. By the way, Leipzig's suburban tunnel is a seven years project, with the following anounced benefits: "More than 320,000 car km per day will be avoided. This will considerably increase the City’s share in short-distance public transport. Shorter travelling time between medium level centres and the city centre of Leipzig. Better connection and development of the airport, New Fair Ground, th... | | By: :u:b:i:k:u:o: | | |

| Muslim helps Jews attacked on New York subway | | 2007-12-13 06:51:43 | | NEW YORK (PE) -- A Muslim man jumped to the aid of three Jewish subway riders after they were attacked by a group of young people who objected to one of the Jews saying "Happy Hanukkah," a spokeswoman for the three said Wednesday. Friday's altercation on the Q train began when somebody yelled out "Merry Christmas," to which rider Walter Adler responded, "Happy Hanukkah," said Toba Hellerstein. "Almost immediately, you see the look in this guy's face like I've called his mother something," Adler told the News affiliate at WABC. Two women who were with a group of 10 rowdy people then began to verbally assault Adler's companions with anti-Semitic language, Hellerstein said. One member of the group allegedly yelled, "Oh, Hanukkah. That's the day that the Jews killed Jesus," she said. When Adler tried to intercede, a male member of the group punched him, she said.

Subway's hot and cold subs (sandwiches) makes your day a real healthy day, except that, do not fill too much soda on your body because they are absolutely refillable. Get rid of all those unhealthy food you eat. Try inserting this subway meal in between your daily menu. This is guaranteed to wash away excess fat on your body. Their subs contain appropriate levels of fat on their meat since the serving is just sufficient, and their veggies are real fresh. Also, their bread is already enriched with fibers since they are made from wheat flour. Make you day healthy with Subway.... | | By: Rey Ian\\\\\\\'s Personal Blog | | |

| Subs for dinner from Subway | | 2007-06-01 16:14:54 | | After having a coffee with a friend in Cafe De Jaren, we discovered it was rather late to go for a real dinner in Amsterdam. It was already ten o’clock, the time that most restaurant already start to close their kitchen. So instead of going to the trouble of cooking at home, we decided to grab a sub at Subway.
Now Subway has had a flirt with Amsterdam before, opening a place where no one could find it, in an alleyway I don’t even know the name of. But now they have opened a Subway on the big street going from Rembrandtplein to de Munt. Far better! Also for them
Anyway getting the sub sandwich wasn’t much trouble. They have a conveyer belt process, where one person cuts the bread and puts on the topping of your choice and then toasts it if you want. Then the next person adds the lettuce and other toppings you can choose from and then the sauce. And then finally you can leave your money to another person at the cash register.
The people behind the counter were quite c... | | By: your restaurant guide to Amsterdam | | |

| Beijing plans world's longest subway | | 2006-11-20 12:01:00 | | The Chinese capital Beijing could have 561 kilometres of subway by 2020 and would supplant London as having the world's longest transit system, the official China Daily reported today. The network, which would stretch to 19 lines, will reach every major corner of the city, though the plans are still subject to government approval, the newspaper said.Cities around China are spending billions of dollars building new subways or upgrading existing systems to try to beat the often chronic traffic jams that have come with years of booming economic growth.Beijing's four metro lines carry 1.5 million people a day, and another three lines will enter service in time for the 2008 Olympic Games, the newspaper added.By comparison, the London Underground's network is 408 kilometres with 11 lines that carry more than three million people a day.No price tag was given for the Beijing expansion, but the city is spending some 40 billion dollars to improve infrastructure including road and rail links f... | | By: World News, News Updates, Current Events, News Art | | |
