 More Details on Curling Basics
The equipment needed to curl is very simple.  Firstly, a set of 16 stones is required per sheet.  These are supplied by the ice rink where the game is taking place, although for outdoor games (sadly all too rare nowadays), players must find / borrow / steal their own stones.
Finally, you will need a curling brush for sweeping the ice under the skip's direction, and to assist balance when delivering the stone.  Again, ice rinks will supply brushes, but most curlers like to have their own brush. 
There are many shots in curling, but most of them are variations on the three basics - the draw, the guard, and the strike.

 bookofjoe: Thomas Heatherwick's Folding Footbridge
The almost-40-foot-long remote-controlled hydraulic bridge - which spans an offshoot of the Grand Union Canal - is one of three that were commissioned for Paddington Basin, a mixed-use development in Northwest London.
Popularly known as the Rolling Bridge, it was designed for foot traffic by Thomas Heatherwick, a 34-year-old Briton whose multidisciplinary design studio has ventured into the realms of sculpture and architecture.
Heatherwick deliberately made the bridge structure appear ordinary, so that when it lies flat you won't give it a second look - until, that is, it begins its graceful gymnastics.
