'''''Alamo''''' ('''''The Cube''''') is an outdoor sculpture by [[Bernard Rosenthal|Bernard (Tony) Rosenthal]], located on [[Astor Place]], on the island of [[Manhattan]] in [[New York City]]. It takes the form of a black [[cube]], 8 feet long on each side, mounted on a corner. The faces of the cube are not planes - they have various indentations, protrusions, and ledges. It is not widely known as ''Alamo,'' the name given on a small plaque on one corner of the base. Generally it is simply called ''The Cube.''

Installed in 1967, it has since become a popular meeting place in the [[East Village]]. It stands in the middle of an intersection, across the street from both entrances to the [[Astor Place]] station of the [[New York Subway]] and the [[Cooper Union]].

''The Cube's'' distinguishing feature is that it can be spun on its vertical axis. One person can usually push it slowly with some exertion, and two or more people without trouble. Sitting or sleeping in the shade of ''The Cube'' is also popular.

''The Cube'' was once turned into a [[Rubik's Cube]] as a prank. (See External links).

On March 10, 2005, the parks department removed ''The Cube'' for repairs. The original artist and crew fixed the missing bolt and made a few other minor repairs. As Of November 2005 ''The Cube'' returned with a fresh coat of black paint, still able to spin as it always did. The cube weighs about 2500 pounds.

Calvary Chapel

2003-12-02T08:27:30Z

134.134.136.1:

Calvary Chapel is where the The "Jesus Movement" started in the late 1960's.
This was a time of great revival in Southern California. Many disillusioned hippies found themselves lost in a dying world. Drugs had turned out to be a dead-end, Love had become a four letter word, more correctly spelled “l-u-s-t.” “Peace” had also become a cruel joke when anti-war demonstrations became violent and even deadly! Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel, is considered by many to have been most instrumental in this revival. He was used by God to direct many of these wayward souls to “Salvation” in Jesus Christ.
So it was; that many of these young searchers found the Truth in a two thousand year old book. God poured out His Holy Spirit upon a new generation of believers, and many of these hippies became “Jesus People.” With their own music, and a new style of worship that embraced God’s Word. At the same time they rejected many “religious” traditions. Calvary Chapel is "Non-Denominational, but has over a thousand affilliated churches world-wide.

Tomas Lindberg

134.134.136.1:

'''Tomas Lindberg''', from [[Gothenburg]], [[Sweden]], has been active as a musician and composer since the late [[1980s]]. To date, he is most famous for his time as vocalist with Swedish melodic [[death metal]] band, [[At The Gates]]. At The Gates broke up shortly after the [[1995]] release of the highly acclaimed ''[[Slaughter Of The Soul]]'' album.

Since then, Lindberg has been involved in many other diverse musical projects within the metal scene. He has fronted Hide, The Crown, Disfear, Skitsystem, and the [[grindcore]] supergroup [[Lockup]], in which he performed alongside members of [[Napalm Death]] Shane Embury (bass) and Jesse Pintado (guitar) and current-[[Dimmu Borgir]] drummer, Nick Barker.

He is earning praise for his Gothenberg based outfit, The Great Deceiver, far removed from his previous work -- a product of the Gothenberg melodic death metal scene mixed with influences from artists such as [[The Cure]] and [[Joy Division]]. Tomas would like to give a shout out to John H and Keven S in Riverton Utah for being the biggest ATG/Lockup/GD Fan!!! Thank you for your support. I also want to let Jer C know that he let me down when he got on stage and pulled out his thing. I was disappointed in it's length and girth. I hope he gets the pump soon. Scott S. in Riverton, UT loves Joy Division and The Cure, and thinks that Jer could use a pump soon, too.
