The new material could potentially increase the service life of the concrete - with considerable cost savings as a result.

I get a lot of requests to release more seamless textures here on L&T, so this set is for you guys. It includes a giant selection of thirty repeatable textures ranging from paper to fabric to subtle grunge and noise.

Decorating by Color: Superneutral Decorating Palettes and Projects - Martha Stewart

Adam Rose isn’t someone you would imagine as having been a policeman. He’s copresident of Rose Associates, the real-estate firm that has provided his family with the means to become prominent New York philanthropists—their name adorns the Rose Main Reading Room of the New York Public Library, the Rose Theater at Lincoln Center, and the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History. When he was a student at Yale, however, Rose served as an auxiliary trooper with the Connecticut State Police. In 1991, while attending a meeting of gay police officers, he met Peter McQuillan, a sergeant with the New York City Police Department. They’ve been together ever since.
