So yesterday the floating pool lady finally got to watch the Floating Pool Lady arrive in New York. The floating pool lady is Ann L. Buttenwieser, a former Parks Department official who had a brainstorm 25 years ago: Why not put a swimming pool on a barge and moor it somewhere along the city’s 578 miles of waterfront?
The Floating Pool Lady is the barge. Standing in a terrace garden in Lower Manhattan yesterday, Ms. Buttenwieser watched the Floating Lady float by after it glided under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and past Governors Island. It is now more pool than cargo hauler, but it is still not quite ready for its next life as a destination for dog-paddling, backstroking New Yorkers.

Victorian style trees are not as spindly as the rounder American style trees and show very little white space through their branches. Also the color of Victorian trees tend to have a bit of a blue tint to their green branches. Keep this in mind if you are shopping for an artificial or corner christmas tree.
Superior Flux Male Enhancement A well known example of a medication patch is the nicotine patch used to stop smoking. The increasing availability of male enhancement formulas in patch form means that men who aren't able to swallow a pill or capsule are still able to gain the benefits of certain male enhancement products. The ingredients are generally of a tonic nature meaning that lots of herbs and supplements with different functions are mixed together. It is not uncommon to find B vitamins and Ginko or Yohimbe as ingredients.
