Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
An ancient Persian legend states the Earth rests on a gigantic sapphire that gives its blue reflection to the sky. The most popular colors for sapphires range from light blue to a blue that appears black. Hence, the name was derived from the Latin form of the Greek word for blue, "sapphirus." These blue colors are caused by iron and titanium in the stone. Bright daylight makes most sapphires shine more vividly than the somewhat muted artificial light. So the most highly cherished color for blue sapphires is not the darkest blue, but a deep and satiated blue, which even in dim, artificial light remains to appear blue.
While sapphires are best known for being velvety blue, it was decided long ago to consider all gemstones of the mineral family corundum to be sapphires. Non-blue sapphires are termed "fancy" and can be nearly any color, including yellow, green, white, pink, orange, brown, purple and even black. Red corundum is the exception, however, and was given the special name of "ruby."
In lighter-colored sapphires, the shade of color is determined by how the stone is cut. A cutter must take special care with sapphires. Not only do they rank a 9.0 on the Mohs Scale, second only to diamonds in hardness, but they display a different coloring and satiation depending on the perspective. The cutter must align the orientation of the stone in such a way as to bring about the best possible display of color.
There are a great number of varieties of sapphire, many of which are quite rare and highly sought-after in the gemstone market. A rare orange-pink variety, known as padparadscha, can be even more valuable than blue sapphire. Given the poetic name meaning "lotus blossom," it features a delicate orange color with pink undertones
Another rare variety of sapphire is known as the color-changing sapphire. This stone exhibits different colors in different light. In natural light, color-changing sapphire is blue, but in artificial light, it is violet. This effect is the same phenomenon seen in alexandrite.
For experts and connoisseurs, the Kashmir-color is considered the most beautiful and valuable shade. It features a pure and intensive blue, which is enhanced by a fine, silky gloss. Its color does not change in artificial light, but remains intense with a deep, velvety sheen. Setting the standard for the color of top-quality sapphires, Kashmir sapphires were found in 1880 after an avalanche. They were intensely mined for only eight years until the source was depleted. The Burma-color is also considered especially valuable, ranging from rich royal blue to deep cornflower blue. Ceylon sapphires are prized as well for the luminosity and brilliance of their light to medium blue color.
There is a translucent variety of sapphire, called star sapphire, which displays a six-point star when cut into a smooth domed cabochon. The mineral rutile is embedded in an asterisk-shape within the stone, causing light to reflect in a phenomenon called "asterism." Six- or twelve-ray stars appear to magically glide across the surface of the stones as they are moved. Star sapphires and rubies are expensive rarities and should always display the stars exactly in the center of the gem. The star stone is said to be the home of each person's angel, who lives there in contentment with the sapphire's spirit.
White sapphires have become a very suitable diamond substitute. With their high light refraction and level of hardness, they provide a less expensive alternative that is still very capable of turning heads with a very convincing sparkle.
The oldest sapphire mines are situated in Ceylon, where gemstones were mined in ancient times. Most blue sapphires today come from Thailand or Australia, but sapphires from Kashmir and Myanmar are highly prized. A large sapphire occurrence stretches across several miles in Madagascar. There are also two large occurrences in Tanzania, where smaller, yet high-quality sapphires are found. The stone is also mined in many other parts of the world.
Sapphires are readily available in sizes of up to 2.00ct, but gems weighing 5.00-10.00ct are not unusual. The cushion-cut Logan Sapphire from Sri Lanka weighs an astounding 423.00ct and can be seen at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. There is also a 258.00ct stone set in the Russian crown, which is kept in the Diamond Fund in Moscow.
Because the gem has long symbolized sincere love and enduring faithfulness, blue sapphires are often given in engagement rings to express commitment and loyalty. Many women throughout the world decide on the blue stone for their engagement rings, as the gem also represents truth, friendship, harmony and consistency. Sapphire blue has become a color related to anything permanent and reliable, making it an ideal stone to symbolize the promise of marriage.
Often referred to as "Gem of the Heavens," sapphire also symbolizes a noble soul. It is September's birthstone and is traditionally given as 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gifts. Star sapphires are given for the 65th anniversary. The color sapphire-blue is known for representing clarity and competence. In fact, the first computer to ever declare victory over a chess grandmaster and world champion was named "Deep Blue."
Sapphires have been associated with magical powers throughout the ages. The Greeks identified white sapphires with Apollo and the oracles at Delphi used them to tap into the subconscious and super conscious. In the 13th century, it was said that when worn, sapphires cooled the inner heat of anger. Soldiers wore them to prevent capture by enemies and kings wore the gemstone to defend against harm and put themselves in divine favor. This supposed "divine favor" is why sapphires were often the gemstone of choice for high priests and royalty throughout history. In fact, the British Crown Jewels contain a number of notable sapphires.
During the Middle Ages, sapphires symbolized the tranquility of the heavens and wearing them was thought to bring peace, happiness and purity of the soul. Medieval priests and monks would wear sapphire jewelry believing it had the ability to quell wicked impulses and impure thoughts. The color blue became the symbol of the union between a priest and the heavens, so sapphires came to be adorned on the rings of bishops.
Today, sapphires are still believed to hold special powers. It can be considered an aid to psycho kinesis, telepathy and clairvoyance, while providing spiritual enlightenment and inner peace. White sapphires, like diamonds, are considered the guardians of love, enhancing it and ensuring fidelity in marriage. The most powerful type of the gem is said to be the star sapphire. They are believed to protect against negative energy and have a calming effect that allows the mind to experience tranquility, joy and clear thinking.
Carnelian, also spelled cornelian, ranges in color from light brownish-red, to dark reddish-orange, to deep transparent red, to bright orange. The rich color is due to the iron content and can be placed in the sun to change brown tints to red. A translucent to opaque stone, carnelian is moderately hard with a hardness of 6.5-7.0 on the Mohs Scale. This relatively inexpensive gem features great warmth and beauty and is often found as engraved cameos in antique jewelry. It is the stone of happiness and harmony in love.
Some of the oldest examples of jewelry contain carnelian and it has been featured in nearly every great civilization. The greatest myths surrounding the stone come from the Egyptian culture. At an excavation site in Ur, archaeologists uncovered the tomb of Pu-Abi, a Sumerian Queen from the third millennium, B.C. She wore a robe that contained carnelian, along with other precious and semi-precious materials. Ancient Egyptian tombs are full of examples of carnelian jewels because of the Egyptians' belief in the stone's power in the afterlife. According to their system, the Egyptian goddess Isis used amulets of carnelian to ensure a soul's safe passage into the next world. The Egyptians so revered the power of the stone that it was one of three used most often in their jewelry, along with turquoise and lapis lazuli. Carnelian was a symbol of life in Pharaonic Egypt, and adorns the precious funerary pectoral of Tutankhamon.
Because carnelian has been revered for its healing, spiritual and creative qualities, Buddhists in China and India created amulets inlaid with carnelian and other semi-precious stones, ascribing to them powers of protection and utilizing them for many rituals. To this day, Buddhists in China, India and Tibet believe in the protective powers of carnelian and often follow the Egyptian practice of setting the stone with turquoise and lapis lazuli for enhanced power. The stone also appears in the Bible as one of the stones included on Aaron's breastplate.
Carnelian has been recommended as an aid for anyone having a weak voice or being reluctant to speak. The belief was that carrying or wearing carnelian would give the person courage both to speak boldly and loudly. In fact, Napoleon is recorded to have carried one he found in Egypt and to have had faith in it as a talisman. Perhaps he followed the belief reported by Merrill: "The wearing of carnelian insured victory in all contests save those of love."
Carnelian is a form of chalcedony, which is the microcrystalline form of quartz. Because quartz is the most common crystal on Earth, deposits of carnelian are found throughout the world. The most famous sites are in India, Brazil, Uruguay and Japan. The deposits are usually found in the lower temperature and lower pressure zones near the Earth's surface, but the best carnelian is found in India.
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.

In the 3-A State baseball playoffs, the Emery Spartans, along with the other three Region 8 entrants, advanced in the tournament. The Spartans traveled to Cedar City and lost a heartbreaker to Grantsville 8-6 and then defeated Park City 4-1 to advance in the double elimination tournament.
Emery's Region 8 partners also advanced in the playoffs with Carbon High winning two games at home over Snow Canyon, 6-0, and Tooele, 12-7. Delta stunned No. 1 Bear River 7-4 before losing to Dixie 10-4. Lehi defeated Ben Lomond, 9-8 and then lost to Wasatch 8-7.
Against Grantsville, the Spartan's Josh Eden scored their first run after three straight singles in the first inning. Chandler Pearson and Wes Baletka scored in the third inning before Grantsville added three runs to take a 5-3 lead. Emery added two more runs in the fourth inning as Trevor Thompson and Baletka scored. Emery took the lead in the fifth inning at 6-5 as Brady Larsen walked, went to second on an overthrow, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on sacrifice fly by Chandler Tanner. Grantsville scored three in the bottom of the seventh inning on a homerun to grab the victory.
Pearson led the Spartans with three hits including a double, scored a run and added an Rbi. Bowie Jeffs, besides starting on the mound, added a double and two Rbi's. Larsen had three walks and a single and two Rbi's.
Against Park City, Pearson pitched a four hitter while striking out seven to assist Emery with the victory. Baletka scored in the first inning, Josh Eden and Pearson scored in the third inning on Jeffs' double and Landon Thomas scored in the fourth inning on a hit by Eden to account for the Spartan runs. Eden and Jeffs had doubles in the game while the Spartans added five other hits.

Hospital CEO Anthony Ferreri called it "very good news."
Ferreri said the monetary boost amounts to $90,000 in federal reimbursement per resident physician.
SIUH was previously capped at 198 Medicare-reimbursed physicians, Ferreri said. But he said the hospital had an additional 42 residents on staff because of need who it did not receive reimbursement for.
He said the reimbursements for 24 of those might be retroactive to July.
That could not be immediately confirmed with Schumer's office.
While federal law limits the number of Medicare-funded resident slots at hospitals around the country, University Hospital became eligible for additional slots because of hospital closures in the region.
Schumer said the additional reimbursements here will permit an increase in residency opportunities in the face of doctor shortages in the state.
"Ensuring that we have talented and capable physicians at hospitals across the state is essential to providing quality health care," said Schumer (D-N.Y.).
The Affordable Care Act included a provision to permanently preserve the Medicare-funded residency slots from teaching hospitals that close, Schumer's office noted. Previously, those slots would have to be returned to the pool. Now they are redistributed with priority given to area hospitals.

Sherrington: Why Cowboys may not need to draft a QB in the first round
SportsDay columnist Kevin Sherrington answered reader questions during a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights:
Recent history shows first round QBs perform well as rookies and only get better. Sure there is a bust rate for QBs like all positions, but go look up how many QBs who were undrafted from a division II school have won super bowls and get back to me.
Kevin Sherrington: You're right, the success rate of first-round picks overall, not just QBs, is much better than it used to be. But the best QB in the league this year wasn't a first-rounder. Tom Brady still looks pretty good. Russell Wilson was pretty good this year, too, and no one expected that. And I think we've all gotten over the fact that Romo came from a small school. He's shown he can play in this league. But as I said about RG3 last week, he's a great talent, terrific leader, the kind of QB anyone would love to have. But how much did he have to do against the Cowboys? His line did a great job and his RB did a great job. All he did, basically, was put the ball in Morris' hands or pull it and run around end a few times. There is way too much emphasis on QBs when it comes to dissecting winning and losing. Romo had a bad game against the Redskins. But, as usual, he was being asked to do an awful lot to win it. He couldn't simply hand off.
Do you see Cowboys drafting a QB? If so who do you see on their radar?
Kevin Sherrington: They have to draft a QB, but I don't see it before the third round, and rightfully so, probably. They need help on the offensive line in the worst way. But if I'm drafting a QB in the mid rounds, I'd look at someone who's athletic, tough, can run a little and, above all, extend the play. That's the way of football now, as Johnny Football has so electrically demonstrated.
As much as the Cowboys need to upgrade the offensive line, they need to look to replace DeMarcus Ware and find someone on the defensive line that gets attention for something other than false starts.
Kevin Sherrington: Yes, it is time to start looking for a replacement for Ware. Clowney, of South Carolina, would be a wonderful replacement. But if he comes out, he'll be the No. 1 pick. The Cowboys draft 18th. It's the same argument about replacing Romo. Until you get a better pick, or a lot better at judging talent, there's no replacing a talent like Ware. The last time the Cowboys were so smart, they took Ware.

Style # 202879
Enter fall's flirtiest party skirt! This bebe skirt features allover sequins and a high-waisted design that sculpts a feminine silhouette. Fully lined. Try it with a bustier or button up blouse.
- 100% nylon.
- Center back to hem: 17" (43 cm).
- Dry clean.
- Imported.
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S.
Rated 4 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Rocky Love the Pockets I bought this on sale last week and it was perfect for a cocktail party and very comfortable. I purchased a size medium and it fit very well. I like the pockets. I also like the fullness of the skirt so it does not ride up when sitting. December 18, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by Kitty Cute, but I'm not a fan of the front pockets. This is a cute skirt, but I was very surprised when I received it in the mail and discovered it has front pockets. You can't see them in the photos above, and they are not listed any where in the description as of today (10-31-12). The pockets are unnecessary in my opinion and add unwanted bulk to the design. It is a cute skirt however and I will most likely keep it unless I can find a similar sequined skirt without pockets in the next couple of weeks. I bought an XXS and thought it fit true to size. Fits me about the same why it fits the model. For reference I'm 5'0, under 90 lbs, with a 23 inch wasit and 33 hip. October 31, 2012

"Iam writing this to give other potential buyers a heads up that this boot runs narrow and feels a half size bigger than what was ordered. I do not have a wide foot and find these to fit very snug and that is without socks on. I love the style so much and feel they will keep my feet quite warm but I don't know whether to keep them and take the chance that they will stretch or return them because of the fit plus they are pricey."

Gaza truce agreed, Hamas says, to take effect in hours
By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Jeffrey Heller | Reuters 30 mins ago
GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Egyptian-brokered ceasefire in the Gaza conflict will go into effect later on Tuesday, a Hamas official said.
There was no immediate Israeli comment. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier he was open to a long-term deal to halt Palestinian rocket attacks on his country.
"An agreement for calm has been reached. It will be declared at 9 o'clock (1900 GMT) and go into effect at midnight (2200 GMT)," Hamas official Ayman Taha told Reuters from Cairo, where efforts have been under way to end seven days of hostilities.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was heading to the region from Asia and was expected in Jerusalem late on Tuesday for talks with Netanyahu on Wednesday.
Earlier, Egypt's state media quoted Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi as announcing "that the farce of Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip will end on Tuesday"
Mursi said, according to the reports, that "efforts to conclude a truce between the Palestinian and Israeli sides will produce positive results in the next few hours".
Amid international efforts mounted to stop the fighting and avert a possible Israeli ground invasion of the densely populated Gaza Strip, Israel pressed on with air strikes and Palestinian rockets flashed across the border on Tuesday.
"No country would tolerate rocket attacks against its cities and against its civilians. Israel cannot tolerate such attacks," Netanyahu said with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who arrived in Jerusalem from talks in Cairo, at his side.

Any bets on how long this will last? Muzzies have no self-control.
Translation: We need to reload.
oh bullshit, more time for the camel jockey ragheads to move their rockets elsewhere between schools, homes and hospitals...
how many times are they going to fall for this old trick???
Of course, the cessation will last just long enough for both sides to cash the checks the American taxpayer will send them.
This will last until the ship from Iran comes in.
I'll give them half a day, tops.
Exactly. Hamas is low on military stockpiles and needs to buy some time until the supplies arrive from Iran.
Big mistake.
Officials in Israel Tuesday night are now reporting that claims that Israel has agreed to a ceasefire are false.
Muslim Five Step Plan:
1 - Bomb Israelis with rockets until they begin to retaliate
2 - When the Israelis strike back claim they are using inappropriate force to kill innocent women and children
3 - When stockpiles of rockets and bombs run low agree to a cease fire
4 - Restock bombs and rockets during the cease fire
5 - Go to Step 1 and repeat.
Hamas got the bribe from the GCC delivered by the Emir of Qatar and agreed to their message delivered by their messenger Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi
Must be a bad day to bleed. What I read made it sound like they'd only fired 10% of their fireworks. They did get Egypt and Turkey to move their way a bit more. Was that the goal? It will be interesting to see what happens once Iran gets the bomb, and they will. It's too bad the Lord had to put the chosen people right in the middle of a pile of crap. Otherwise, the Shiites and Sunnis would be so busy killing themselves they wouldn't have time for us.
Will restart once Clinton leaves.
I wonder how many $millions this "truce" cost the US??
It won't last very long,and I'm wondering what contrived
"incident" will be sufficient to re-boot it from the Pali
side of the equation, and start more attacks.
There have been cease-fires before,and "hostilities" have
EITHER WAY, expect this "cease-fire" to be played to the hilt as a great triumph for the Obama Administration.
How long before the obamanation of desolation arrives?
Truce? Try surrender. This time will only be used to allow reinforcements and resupply.
It'll take effect when they have exhausted all of their rockets.
The question is: How much of Gaza can the IDF destroy before 5:00pm, est?
Personally, I think the IDF should go on full bore 'Ignore' and Charley Mike (Continue the Mission)!
Hillary's only there to cut another tax funded aid check for more Iranian missiles. She could care less about Israel. Except to humiliate them.
They certainly call it HUDNA on Al-Jazeera, which I watched this AM.
Keep bombing until the second the "cease fire" goes into effect, then stop. Resume the moment the first rocket is launched from Gaza, before it can even reach its target if possible. Meanwhile, say nothing to acknowledge there even *is* a "cease fire." These damnable "cease fires" are only excuses for the Palies to rest up, bandage up and load up for another go at the Joooos.
Until we get restocked with rockets, no fair shootin' at us!
I was hoping for some collateral damage...
The Muzzies always want a truce, when they are about to get their collective arses handed to them.
Israel should invade and arrest every Hamas operative , and execute them on the spot.ALL OF THEM.
Problem solved. Israel knows who the mid to upper Hamas operatives are, and has been picking them off daily, one after the other. Thats why Hamas wants a truce.
I hope Israel invades and takes care of these Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood POSs in the next while. I love to see Islamofascists cooking off for good.
I think all they were doing was testing to see how effective the Iron Dome defence might be under a concentrated bombardment.
North Viet Nam used to play this game ...
I think all they were doing was testing to see how effective the Iron Dome defence might be under a concentrated bombardment.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That makes a lot of sense startegically. Iran is likely even now designing a delivery vehicle for its nuclear
devices, and so they have to decide what kind of parabolic trajectory is most likely to succeed. One wonders who is helping Iran with their rocketry? The Obama admin. sub rosa? Russia?

Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu talk about 'Elementary' at CBS' portion of the TCA Winter Press Tour.
Coming in February, it's Super Sherlock!
Every year, one show gets one of broadcast TV's most coveted time slots and most obvious signs of network support: the launch-pad after the Super Bowl. This year, the show getting that Feb. 3 slot is CBS' Sherlock Holmes update, Elementary.
"The fact that CBS is giving us that slot after the Super Bowl only maintains that they are really behind the show," says Lucy Liu, who plays Watson opposite Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock Holmes. "We feel very honored about that."
So what is the show going to do with the slot now that it has it? Producer Rob Doherty says he's aiming at an hour that will offer some fun surprises for fans while also entertaining new viewers. "It's this incredible opportunity to expose the show to people who may not have checked it out yet. So we tried to keep that in mind."
What they'll see is a show that has worked over the last few episodes to develop the growing friendship between Sherlock and Watson -- one where she is moving from being a sober companion to an actual, crime-solving partner. And, obviously, it's a show where Watson is a woman, a change, says Doherty, most viewers have accepted.
As for those who haven't, his advice is simple: "Anyone genuinely upset by that, my advice for them would be 'please, move along.' "
Those who have kept up know that Elementary has begun to plunge into the Holmes mythology, from Irene Adler to Moriarity, while also showing us the darker side of its hero. Which is fine with Miller.
"When you are trying to bring a character to an audience and therefore tell stories, any time you get to color that with history and emotion and those dark sides that are part of all of us, that's really the bread and butter of what we do.… One thing I love about this character is that he's quite raw, and his struggles are on the surface."
Raw or not, he's also become very popular. Even without the Super Bowl, Elementary has been one of the new season's most successful new series.
It's a level of success Miller says he never expected. "You're first goal is to stay on the air. That's your first goal with any new show. … Just to be given a full season order was exciting for us."

Animals that trappers aren't trying to trap will have an easier time escaping from snares in Utah.
And the number of cougars that hunters take in Utah this season should be similar to the number taken during the past three seasons.
Both of these items are an outcome of decisions made by the Utah Wildlife Board at the board's Aug. 8 meeting in Salt Lake City.
Starting with Utah's 2007 - 2008 season, trappers in Utah must use breakaway snares. These snares allow bigger animals to escape if they're accidentally trapped.
"Larger animals should be able to escape from these snares," says Kevin Bunnell, mammals program coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. "These animals include deer, elk, cougars and black bears. When one of these animals puts enough pressure on the snare by pulling on it, the snare releases and lets the animal free."
Bunnell says it's rare for larger animals to get caught in these traps.
"But when they do get caught in them, they should be able to escape," he says.
The only exception to the breakaway snare rule are traps set in water, or traps that have a loop size that's less than three inches in diameter.
"These traps aren't big enough to trap larger animals," Bunnell said.
Bunnell says the cooperation the DWR received from the Utah Trappers Association is one of the main reasons the board approved the change.
"The Utah Trappers Association was very supportive of this change," he said.
Hunters will probably take about 300 cougars in Utah during the state's 2007-2008 season. That would be similar to the past three seasons in Utah, when an average of 311 cougars were taken each season.
"An effort was underway a few years ago to reduce the number of cougars in Utah," Bunnell said. "The goal was to bring them into better balance with the deer, bighorn sheep and other animals that cougars prey on. It appears those efforts have worked. Now we're trying to find the proper balance. We think the recommendations the board passed are another step to finding that balance."
Overall, the board reduced the number of hunting permits for Utah's limited entry units, and the total number of cougars to be taken on the state's harvest objective units, by about seven percent for the upcoming season.

Home > National Historic Sites > Fort Malden National Historic Site > Natural Wonders & Cultural Treasures > History
The current dimensions of the fort can be attributed to the American army, which occupied the ruins of Fort Amherstburg from October 1813 until July 1815. The Americans began rebuilding the fort almost immediately, but their efforts were hampered by severe shortages of labour and supplies.
When the British re-occupied the site in the summer of 1815, they inherited a smaller, semi-completed earthen fortification that contained a few roughly built structures.
The British were slow to rebuild the fort as post-war economies forced local commanders to carry out only essential repairs. At Fort Malden this policy meant no new construction until the early 1820s. The fort's Royal Engineer supervised construction of a brick barracks, cook house, guardhouse, artillery shed and several storage buildings. Despite these improvements, very little was done to upgrade the earthworks and the post remained a fort more in name than in actuality.
The reluctance to expend large amounts of money on Fort Malden was partly due to British uncertainty about the future of the site. Through the 1820s various designs were suggested to improve or replace Fort Malden, but with the lessening of tensions between the United States and Britain the fort was allowed to decay and the last British troops were withdrawn in 1836.
The Upper Canadian Rebellion of 1837-39 meant a renaissance for Fort Malden. Troops were rushed back to the fort to repel attacks by rebels and their American sympathizers. Between 1838-40 the fort was almost completely rebuilt. Two large barracks, holding 400 soldiers, were hastily erected as well as an officer's barracks, guardhouse, jail and numerous other buildings. The earthworks were repaired and armed with cannons.
Despite this revitalization, military authorities pondered the true strategic importance of the fort. The end of the rebellion and improved relations with the Americans meant less need for a large military presence in the Detroit River area. Plans for permanent improvements to the fort were shelved and the last regulars left Fort Malden in 1851.
After the regulars, Enrolled Pensioners (retired soldiers) were brought in to maintain the fort and farm the surrounding the military reserve. No significant construction was undertaken during this period (1851-58) except for the building of cottages to house the pensioners.
It was not until the province of Canada West acquired the fort grounds, and opened a "lunatic" asylum in 1859, that new construction began. Existing structures were renovated to house the patients and staff. New facilities were added, including a two-storey brick laundry. With the closing of the asylum in 1870, the buildings and grounds were used as a lumber yard and planing mill. By the early years of the 20th century, the site had been subdivided and private residences were erected.
In 1921 the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada recognized Fort Malden as being of national historic significance. Through the efforts of local citizens, the federal government acquired land for a small park in 1937. Since that time the park has expanded to its current size, a landmark to those major events which helped to shape the Canadian nation.

The Emery County voters went to the polls on June 27 in the primary election. Out of 7,245 voters county wide only 1,355 cast their ballots. The new Diebold voting machines were used in the primary election. Gordan Topham and Kay McIff faced off in the legislative race for the seat formerly held by Brad Johnson. McIff received 599 votes to Tophams 310.
In the county commissioner race for the seat now held by Commissioner Ira Hatch, the two Republican candidates Eric Anderson and Jeff Horrocks faced off. Horrocks received 599 votes to 386 votes for Anderson. Horrocks will now face democratic challenger Kent Wilson in the November general election.
County Clerk Brenda Dugmore said, "The elections went well, we didn't seem to have any trouble. There was one representative here from Diebold to oversee the election. When I was out and about, the voters had a positive response to the new machines. There was one machine in Green River that we took out of service because of a problem with printing, but we have since checked it out and it's now fine. There were a few screen calibration problems that need to be worked out. Overall things have been very good. We have had no trouble with the machines. We took all the machines out the morning of the primary election and they were under surveillance at all times.
"We ran the test logs verifying the results, and even waiting for the Green River machines to get back, we still had the results verified and out by 10:15 p.m. The cards are removed from the machines and put into the server which is upstairs in the old courtroom. The public was welcome there and we had a few people on hand to observe.
"We are very happy with this first go and all and all it was a quiet day. The voter turnout was 18 percent. In the general election of 2002 the voter turnout was 65 percent and that primary was 27 percent. In November of 2004 the turnout was 68 percent and that June primary was 14 percent. So, we are up from the primary of 2004 but lower that the 2002 primary.
"Our judges did very well. They were all happy. They said it was much easier than dealing with the paper ballots. They all did a good job. We are ready for November now. We have a much better idea how much time it takes and what to expect," said Dugmore.

Skip to comments.50-Cent Stamp, Other Postal Changes Coming
Posted on 02/17/2012 1:10:30 PM PST by Java4Jay
The U.S. Post Office, facing financial losses of up to $18.2 billion a year by 2015, wants to charge more for postage, more for services, and to suspend Saturday delivery.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I do believe, in light of technological advances i.e. email, electronic bill pay, etc., that it would make sense to go to a MWF delivery system. I think post offices should be open on Saturday, though, because that is the only day many can get to them.
And although the Constitution maintains that the US Gov't have a postal service, it seems to me competition for it should be allowed. We'd just have to have a U.S. Mail of some type even if there were competitors.
Thanks Obama
Wait,,a fifty cent stamp might be first of a new series. Next is NWA,, then snoop,,
They might have done that already. I went in to what used to be a very busy P.O.the other day and joked how I could walk right up to the counter. I wanted to mail a small box that used to cost me about 5.00 to mail and they wanted 13.00 to mail it! That was more than UPS with insurance and real tracking. I ask about the cost and I was told rates went up 3 weeks ago, particularly for none local deliveries.
They should hire a rapper to sell their rap.
Just shows how government types solve a problem. Not making money? Charge more? The more they charge the more attractive alternatives such as online bill pay become.
Not too bright.
Home delivery is not mandated (it began about the time of the Civil War) It may be worth it to drop the home delivery and allow private, contracted delivery services to handle Door to door deliveries.
Dear USPS: Consider privatizing.
Easily 90% of what arrives in my post box is stuff that I don't want and didn't ask for. I pay my bills online. The USPS sucks.
50cent stamp.
So now there is a rapper stamp?
What is this country coming to?
Mailing a letter next door, using a government service: 50 cents.
Having someone grow a kiwi fruit in New Zealand, harvesting it, shipping it to the United States, and buying it at a supermarket, all using private services: about 33 cents.
That will end my mass Christmas card mailings.
100 cards = $50
And that doesn't include the price of the cards!
I use the Post Office almost daily to mail packages. The rates did go up from .05 to .25 cents. The rates are also affected by weight,size of package and Zones. A 1 lb package sent priority mail with delivery confirmation to Zone 2 Fresno is $5.95 while the exact same package sent to South Carolina Zone 8 costs $7.05
I have a postcard mailed in 1940. Postage was one cent.
Of course, letters could be mailed for three cents. Air mail was eight cents.
That's a great point
And I'm sorry to be the one to tell you but somehow, someway, pointing that out makes you a racist or against the poor, or working poor or something like that. Also, you kick puppies... and the puppies are also poor
What is a post office?
Every time they raise the price I start paying another bill online. My wife retired from the USPS I know first hand some of the waste that goes on.
why would fitty cent get a stamp?
I used to complain about that too, but that 90% of junk subsidizes your 10% First Class mail. I've noticed that all of my regular bills are asking me to change to online notices. And the State of Wisconsin requires me to file my fees and business reports on line now.
I recently did some heavy duty shipping. Using the P.O., I saved an average of $3-$5 per carton (depending on weight) over the two private shippers.
In toto, I saved big bread.
And if the P.O. rates go up, the privates will go up proportionately.
If you haven't tried it, don't knock it.
In the normal world prices are based upon supply and demand. If everyone wants your product you can raise your prices. In the case of the USPS, they have a product that no one really wants or even needs anymore so they defy the laws of economics and raise prices.
Government in action.
How much would it cost to have someone in New Zealand box one kiwi fruit and send it to you, using the shipper of your choice?
I was born in 1947 and if my memory has not gone completely bad, letters were still 3 cents when I was a kid. I also think post cards were still a penny.
Regular gas here in SE AZ is $3.449per gal.
I did not send Christmas cards this past Christmas, but used the money saved on cards and postage for charitable giving. Plus folks can take me off their card list and save some money.
What they should do is get rid of half of all USPS employees involved in handling mail, then deliver to half of all locations Monday-Wednesday-Friday, and the other half Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday.
Anyone who wants every-day delivery will pay for it, unless they get enough mail that it makes sense for the post office to send a truck out to them every day.
When I was a kid, we called them "penny post cards."
|Wages as % of revenue
|Post Office
There's nothing the Post Office can do if it doesn't change that.
Being born the same year I compliment you on your memory. You must also remember when the gallons on a gas pump went as fast as the dollars do today.
We lived in the country and ordered all kinds of clothing and small household items by mail from Sears Roebuck in Ft Worth, TX, paid for by postal money orders bought from the RFD carrier with cash in the mail box.
Life was good (and inexpensive too).
What's the avreage salary of a postal worker?
Congress is the problem.
It will not allow the U.S. Postal service to make some of the changes it needs to, and will not use its power to force the U.S. Postal Service, and it's unions, to make changes they don't want to make.
If Congress does not quit its own madness with respect to the U.S. Postal Service, it will relegate it to a continuing slow painful death, when a ton of privatization could be injected into it, profitably, before eventually allowing it to be totally privatized as the third national, private mail and package delivery service (meaning regular mail service, at that time, would become opened to UPS and Fedex as well).
UPS and Fedex seem like such "better" delivery outfits, and part of that is true. But part of that is also due to the burdens - six-days a week general mail delivery to potentially, any/every physical address on the route; political hurdles to locations of and closing of locations of U.S. Postal service operations; political hurdles to private contracts and contractors performing many/most "customer counter" operations; political hurdles to locations of and closing of locations of U.S. Postal service operations; union issues deeper than any at either UPS or Fedex; and Congressional vasselation between hands-on and hands-off oversight.
An immediate "IPO" would not bring the taxpayers or the new company as much as would fixing some of the greatest burdens ahead of time, with legislation that allowed the executive branch to "make it so", with a government appointed receiver (just like bankruptcy) who was allowed to make any changes they could in order to make the U.S. Postal service profitable.
Full disclosure - no one should think that even in a well-run, privatized and profitable U.S. Postal Service that a "general delivery" postage stamp would necessarily cost less than $0.50. Until the U.S. Postal Service was allowed to operate profitably, no one can be sure what the true cost of a general delivery stamp should be.
How much would it cost to have someone in New Zealand box one kiwi fruit and send it to you, using the shipper of your choice? A lot more than 33 cents,but the point is that private industry has optimized the method of delivery. I have to go to the supermarket to pick it up, but free markets generally entail some kind of compromise. Public enterprises pretend no such compromises exist.
For example, people might be happy to go to the post office to pick up mail if it would drive the price down by some considerable percentage. Right now, they get no discount for doing so.
Jay-Z, R. Kelly, and SnoopDog are gonna be pizzed!
The increase in the postage commodity is a direct indicator of the devaluation of the US$
Using the most economical means:
For a package weighing .3 lbs
Fedex $91.15
Dunno when it stopped, but for a long time the postcard companies had people hand-color the photos.
Walter Wyckoff, when he walked/worked across America as a social experiment in 1891, ran into a guy who was conned in Chicago (where else?). It seemed to be a variation of the "stuff envelopes at home" scam. For a "fee" the person would buy a group of photos to hand color at home, then sell them back to the company. Unfortunately, they always found "flaws" and wouldn't pay or else gave such complicated photos that it took too much time to be profitable.
A post office is a dilapidated, dirty building that is owned by the government and staffed with angry union workers. You can stand in line there for a good part of an hour to purchase an overpriced shipping service. You can purchase envelopes for an extra fee. Once your package is sent you have no record of its existence until the recipient tells you that it arrived. There is nobody to call regardless of the need. An option exists where for extra money you can purchase a number, and you can track your package by that number once per day, whenever the USPS worker can be bothered to scan the barcode.
Alternatives include FedEx and UPS. These services send you free envelopes and labels; you can set up your account on their Web sites and print shipping labels on your computer. When you are ready the driver will stop by your place and collect the package for free. The driver will typically not curse you for using their service. Once the package enters the UPS system (or earlier!) the package will be scanned and tracked whenever anyone touches it, and you can track it in real time. In case of change of plans you can call these companies and talk to a live person who will assist you.
When I first looked at the postcard I thought it was a color photograph and wondered how they managed it back then.
I had scanned it at high resolution and decided to enlarge a portion and sure enough, it was clearly hand colored.
Fedex - ups wage/revenue difference is due to ups being union.
Ups - usps wage/revenue diff is difference btwn private union and govt union.
Hint - think about your govt union teachers....
I was thinking that packages might give the post office a chance of surviving in some form, now, not so much.
Why not just glue a dollar bill on the GD envelope?
