THE WIDER VIEW: Taking shape, the new bridge at the Hoover Dam


Creeping closer inch by inch ? 900ft above the mighty Colorado River. The two sides of a $160 million bridge at the Hoover Dam in America slowly take shape. The bridge will carry a new section of US Route 93 past the bottleneck of the old road which can be seen twisting and winding around and across the dam itself. When complete, it will provide a new link between the states of Nevada and Arizona . In an incredible feat of engineering, the road will be supported on the two massive concrete arches which jut out of the rock face. The arches are made up of 53 individual sections ? each 24ft long ? which have been cast on-site and are being lifted into place using an improvised high-wire crane strung between temporary steel pylons.

Spectacular: The new Hoover Dam bypass


AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

*** Pretty Hate Machine came out 20 years ago! I didn't know it was that old...
 
This place is dead...

I was falling asleep at the computer yesterday lol.
 
I want to listen to that band now...I've never heard of them before...it's really sad that that happened...
 
We'll keep on talking this out
But I've already made up your mind
I've been trying to gnaw through my tongue
To stop from confessing my crimes
And this conversation is wearing me down
What did my patience prove
If it's just another bed of nails?
Always the silent treatment
Always the easy way out alive
 
Well it's just another sharp pain and it doesn't hurt like it used to
When I was a desperate man
When I still believed in the meaning of the word

You tried to warn me
You and your consequences
If I am outnumbered
If I am defenseless
If I come here unarmed
In the middle of the night, on my own
Standing on the front lines, I will die
 
If you invite me down
If it'll please the crowd
And I only go through this for your amusement
But it doesn't hurt like it should when you're throwing your stones around, throwing your stones around
I'm alone, I am so alone trying to sleep it off
But it's hard not to shake at the sound of it breaking
When you're living in a house of mirrors reflecting all of my failures
I will concede to my replacement
Congratulations
It's over and over and over again
It's over and over and over again
I was in for the long run when you cut me down
Another sharp pain
A servant to your throne
 
Always the silent treatment
Always the stubborn child
I kept my mouth shut tight
I kept my mouth shut tight
Always the one that got away
Always the silent treatment
I only have myself to blame
Always the silent treatment
Always the stubborn child
I only have myself to blame
I only have myself to blame
Always the silent treatment
Always the stubborn child
I kept my mouth shut tight
I kept my mouth shut tight
 
Sunrise wake up stand up look into red eyes
Stayed up all night thinking of reasons why I can't feel your skin
Is this plaguing your brain?
Is this plaguing your brain?
 
Couldn't brace yourself in the morphine hallway
Lying on the ground with a heart as a ball and chain
Message to the bird I know your wings will be fine
Spread them on the floor, learn to heal with take time
