"Kitchen Windows"
By catemcc from West Greenwich, RI
Love these blinds!! We feel it was well worth the extra cost to get quality. No cords, no gizmos to get in the way. Smooth handling up & down. Installation was ridiculously simple. Our main window is 65" wide & there was no need for a middle support bracket (sweet). Thin profile & tight fit helps these blinds blend nicely with our window trim. Shades do a nice job of blocking the harsh sun in wintertime without any gaps or peek-boo-holes. Just perfect.View this product

This is a great value for the money! I put it on an odd size window I have in my office and fits perfectly. Truly, easy to install, no tools :)View this product

Posted on 12/07/2012 7:30:31 PM PST by neverdem
A selection committee has recommended a futuristic design for the new Tappan Zee Bridge, with suspension supports leaning outwards, giving the bridge the look of a stripped-down building by Santiago Calatrava.
Calatrava has designed the World Trade Center transit hub, the Milwaukee Museum of Art, and the Athens Olympic stadium.
The New York State Thruway Authority — the agency in charge of the project — will consider the design, along with two others, for a new Tappan Zee Bridge. The three designs were released(PDF) at Governor Cuomo's cabinet meeting Wednesday.
The designs range from $3.142 billion to $4.059 billion when all estimated costs are totaled. All three proposals are being called "transit ready," though images of the bridge being recommended don't show buses or transit on the roadway.
Details of how the proposals will be financed still haven't been released. Governor Cuomo said both the bridge's full cost and the amount of federal financing (still unknown) would have to be tallied before a bridge financing plan could be released.
The three designs will be considered December 17th by the Thruway Authority board.
The state had said the bridge would cost $5.2 billion, but had been hoping the cost would be adjusted downward — in part to lower future tolls on drivers.
For more on why the bridge matters nationally, and the planning process to date, see our previous coverage.
More soon on the design details.
What's wrong with the old Tappan Zee bridge?? I liked that bridge ...
NY has too much money lying around. They don't know what to do with it all, so they've decided to rebuild the Tappan Zee.
All the new bridges are being built with that design...Charleston SC, Boston MA, Delaware...must be the latest engineering 'fad'...
One bridge that I've driven which was pretty impressive is the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa.Quite cool,actually.
I like the old one.
Other than the fact that it is obsolete and ready to fall into the Hudson, nothing.
According to wikipedia it's 55 years old.It's also a very heavily traveled bridge,heavily traveled by trucks,buses and cars.I'm no engineer but one might suspect that such a structure would reach the point,over time,when replacement made more sense than repair.
It is literally falling apart.
A friend of mine is an iron worker who spent about 4 years underneath the bridge, patching it up.
His recommendation:
Either take the G.W. Bridge or the Beacon Bridge (I-84)... "...cause it's gonna go one of these days."
They better never ever plead poverty again if they have $3-5 BILLION laying around
How does lower future tolls LOWER the price of the bridge??
When they first told us that the "new World Trade Center" would cost $1 Billion, I said, "But what about the Mafia Tax? It will be $3 Billion before it's done!"
So, about that bridge.....I suggest asking Boston about their tunnel estimates.
Only cost a mint.
We don't have any oceans or lakes though, just an almost-dried Trinity River, where the 3-eyed fish are born
Hadn't seen that one before...
I drove across it a few times and liked it too... other than the damn tolls. But it is getting pretty old and probably caries far more traffic today than it was ever designed for.
But none the less, it is an impressive bridge. And a damn big one too.
I'd like to see how they intend to change the traffic paterns for the rush hours with those two, separate spans.
The key to this area no matter, is for an understated design.
Cable stayed bridges can be cool and fairly cheap.
Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge
Thanks...I'll check it out.
"How does lower future tolls LOWER the price of the bridge??"
I guess they don't require an IQ test here at FR.
You took the words right out of my keyboard
Always liked the Tappan Zee and took it frequently when I was younger and living in NY. Now I take it once a year and it scares the bejeezus out of me.
The new designs look great. Still, who really thinks it'll come in under $5B?
Built by my Father. It was the first single cable bridge built. There were no other bids made, because the hurricane season was scheduled to take place before the roadway deck could be laid down.
the bridge is going to cost the same to build no matter what
the toll rate does not affect the price of construction
In the 21st Century is that not possible??
Also known as the "Tappin' Zee Brakes."
I'd vote for '2' if the taxpayers want to waste their money on something.
Number 3 looks like an S not a Zee.
Because they are going to charge like $14 or $15 to cross the bridge! Today it's $5...
I would rather (if I had to cross there) pay a smaller toll both ways, rather than the ridiculously high toll one-way...
How does that reduce construction costs? It doesn't, it might raise more money later but the cost of building the bridge is independent of what it brings in later.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Every Christmas and Easter we used to drive from upstate to visit my Dad's folks in Thornwood and my Aunt, Uncle and cousins in Stamford, CT. I can still hear dad from 1955 onward as we drove across the Tappan Zee — "look kids, you can see the Empire State Building today." Dad was like Old Faithful...we could always count on him to tell us to look for the ESB off in the distance. Funny how little things like that stick with you throughout life.
Growing up I always thought the Old Dutch names near NYC were great and I especially liked "Tappan Zee." It just rolls off your tongue. The Iroquois names across upstate are really cool, too.
It's a such a shame that the NYC libs worked to destroy the state over the past 60 years. Now I live in CA where the SF/LA/Sac lib axis has worked feverishly to destroy CA, too, over the past 30 years.
Simple, efficient.
Well knowing NYS, they will up the rates on the current bridge well before the new one is completed and apply those "extra" funds to the construction costs...
They will need somewhere to spend all the federal SANDY money! Civilians won't count when billions are flowing through politicians hands.
(Fixed it...)
I wonder how much less it would cost without union labor and union work rules?
I would estimate about 50% at least.
Looks good for a 15 dollar plus ride across it! The GW bridge and some others are now 14 dollars to cross. A rig with a few axes can cost up to 75 dollars or more to cross. Where's all the money going? Education? how much more money do we need for education when the kids are getting dumber and thier propaganda agenda is progressing nicely. oops did I say that?
I like design 2. Of course I give a rat's ass because I left NY and I won't be paying for this.
Lot of racoons between Wurtsboro and the Tappan Zee. So many I don't even need to wear my glasses to see them.
Its wooden pilings are being eaten by sea worms.
to 43.
Pretty to be sure, but I can just see what it's going to do to our thruway tolls to pay for it.
On 9/11 ,The Tappen Zee was one of the few ways out of NY. My husband drove across it and saw the smoke where the Towers had stood. He'll never forget that sight.
I only went over the new bridge a few times before we moved.
My mom hated it, so would go the long way to avoid it if she was driving.
We had used the old bridge just hours before the accident. And used the remaining bridge several times a year. The first few times we were not allowed to talk and had to roll down the windows. The no talking rule was also in place if the weather was bad.
I still hate crossing bridges if they are long and are over deep water.
Whats wrong with the old Tappan Zee bridge??
1. Structural corrosion. Engineers are wondering when a section of bridge deck might go.
2. The footings on the west end of the bridge are, shall we say, suboptimal. As in sitting on river silt, no pilings to bedrock. To get pilings to bedrock on that side, they would have to go deep. And this is causing problems that have been noticable of late.

Hadiya Pendleton was gunned down days after performing at President Obama's inauguration.
WASHINGTON — First lady Michelle Obama will travel to Chicago on Saturday to attend the funeral of a 15-year-old student who was gunned down in President Obama's adopted hometown days after she performed at his inauguration, an administration official has confirmed.
The first lady will be joined by White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, the former Chicago Public Schools superintendent. The administration official spoke on the condition of anonymity, because the White House has not yet officially announced the trip.
Hadiya Pendleton performed at the inauguration with her high school band and drill team on Jan. 21. She was shot in the back on Jan. 29 as she and other King College Prep students took shelter from a driving rain under a canopy in Vivian Gordon Harsh Park on the South Side.
Civil rights leaders in the city, including Rev. Jesse Jackson, have called on Obama to return to Chicago to attend Pendleton's funeral and address the scourge of gun violence in the city, which topped 500 murders in 2012.
Jackson told USA TODAY on Wednesday that Pendleton's death "epitomizes this crisis" facing Chicago and that the president's appearance could help foster a larger conversation about the problem of gun violence in America's cities.

Both Green River High School basketball teams continued their winning ways with three wins apiece over region foes the last two weeks. The boy's team defeated Navajo Mountain 82-53 and then followed that up on Saturday night with a 62-32 win at Monument Valley. They then won their only region game of last week, a 51-39 win over Whitehorse. With the wins, the boy's season record is 12-3 and they are undefeated in region.
The Lady Pirates continued their absolute domination of region play with wins over the same three schools. They defeated Navajo Mountain 74-43, Monument Valley 78-33 and Whitehorse 67-32. The ladies are now 15-2 for the season and 6-0 in region play. They have averaged a 38-point spread differential in their six region games.
Heidi Vetere led the Pirates in scoring in all three games. She averaged 30.3 points per game in these games. She scored 36 against Monument Valley, 34 against Navajo Mountain and 21 against Whitehorse.
Adriana Cordova scored 52 points in the three games for a 17.3 average. McKenzie Spadafora averaged 5 points per game, Brandi Webster averaged 9 points per game, Charle Vetere averaged 8 points per game. Leah Swalberg scored 4 points for the three games, Lindsey Spadafora scored 5 points and Crosby Hatt scored 2 points in the wins.
Green River used a big first half against Whitehorse to gain the advantage. They led 33-4 at the half. Against Monument Valley, after averaging a 9-point advantage in each of the first three quarters, they finished off the game with a 25-7 fourth quarter. Against Navajo Mountain, they used a 36-16 second half difference.
The girls have three games left before tournament games begin. They travel to Monticello with the boys this Friday night.
The boy's team is led in scoring by their big three. Brent Johnson is 8th in 1-A basketball scoring with a 17.15 average. He scored 18, 16 and 9 points in the three region games. Kaden Robertson is 12th in scoring with a 15.92 average and Kaleb Fail is 18th in scoring with a 15.31 scoring average.
Kaden scored 17, 17 and 14 points in the games and Kaleb scored 27, 17 and 25 points in the games to actually end up raising his average. In the Whitehorse game, Kaleb had six 3-pointers.
Jace Vetere scored 25 points in the three games, Brennan Bigelow scored 4 points and Tyson Johnson, Wayde Mecham and Weston Vetere each scored 2 points for the week.
For the boys, they used a good third quarter to defeat Whitehorse. Leading at the half 24-23, they out scored their opponent 17-4 in that period to breeze to a win. Against Navajo Mountain, they used a 26-8 first quarter burst to grab the lead and were never threatened thereafter. Against Monument Valley, they used a 18-7 second quarter and 20-7 third quarter to gain the advantage.

Sort-of Bomb Found Bound for Germany
Police in Namibia this morning found a suitcase on a Munich-bound plane that had "a fuse, clock and wires" inside, attached to batteries. But no explosives! Which is nice. Still: Germans should panic, panic, panic.
Germany had already dispatched heavily armed police officers and bomb-sniffing dogs on Wednesday to its train stations, airports and key landmarks. In a hastily called news conference in Berlin on Wednesday, Mr. de Maizière, said the government had "concrete indications of a series of attacks planned for the end of November," and German, Pakistani and American officials offered similar accounts of intelligence that pointed to imminent attacks by terrorists trained in Pakistan or Afghanistan.
If you are in, are going to, or have ever been to Germany or its airports, authorities say the best thing to do now is to panic.

I kept loving how this tasted but hating the photos, so I made it a few times before I got a photo I was happy with. The original recipe called for thin strips of pork which were sauteed before the red bell peppers and green onions were added to the pan. That version was delicious, and also one with strips of thinly-sliced sauteed chicken breast. But yesterday I had some leftover roast chicken so I made an even-easier version with already cooked chicken. This salad was just as tasty as the others, so make whichever variation that works for you. I think this would also be a great salad without meat, possibly with tofu replacing the meat, or another type of vegetable added with the red peppers.
Cutting the meat and vegetables into thin, same size strips is pretty important to the look of this salad, as well as making sure they cook quickly. (In Chinese cooking, this is called "symmetry of cut."
Spinach Salad with Warm Ginger Vinaigrette
(Makes 2 salads, probably with extra dressing for another time, recipe adapted from Fine Cooking Annual.)
Dressing Ingredients:
3 T olive oil
2 T rice vinegar (not seasoned rice vinegar, which contains sugar)
1 T soy sauce
1/2 tsp. Splenda, Agave Nectar, or sugar
1 tsp. Asian sesame oil
1 T finely grated fresh ginger (Use a microplane grater if you have one. If you only have ginger in a jar, I would increase the amount a bit.)
Salad ingredients:
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
3-4 green onions (scallions) cut into thin strips
1 thick piece breast meat from roasted chicken, cut into thin strips
(for variations, you can use 1 thick boneless pork chop or 1 thick boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips and then sauteed as you're making the salad)
1-2 tsp. olive oil for cooking vegetables (and meat if using raw meat)
4 large handfuls baby spinach leaves (about 4 cups spinach leaves)
Pile spinach on two serving plates, and use a turner to arrange sauteed vegetables and meat on top of spinach. Pour dressing into frying pan, increase heat a little and cook 1-2 minutes, until dressing is hot and fragrant. Use a spoon to drizzle desired amount of dressing over each salad. (You may not need all the dressing. Leftover dressing can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for a few days.) Serve immediately.

|In response to Re: Clogged kitchen sink
: Greetings. We have a clogged kitchen double-sink. Both basins were 3/4 full yesterday and were not draining. However, I plunged them and then used Drano - now both basins are almost totally empty, but still not completely drained. (So at least some water was able to drain.) I would guess the next things to do would be to plunge a little bit more, then try a snake after removing the U-trap, correct? I'm also thinking about putting in some Bio-Clean in both drains and letting that sit for a day or so before I snake anything. One other thing - could this potentially be a vent problem? (However, the toilet and bathroom sink(s) are draining just fine. They are on the same floor as the kitchen.) Any thoughts? Thanks very much in advance!!!

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Easter weekend is upon us and with it will come the annual pilgrimage to the San Rafael Swell. As always when large numbers of people gather the opportunity for misuse of the Swell surfaces.
On March 31, members of the Castle Country OHV Club and Sage Riders Motorcycle Club were patrolling, marking and maintaining OHV trails in the area of North Coal Wash. Members noticed some off route travel. Volunteers were able to catch up with the three riders and call the BLM and Emery County Sheriff's Office. Deputy Ray Jeffs responded to the area and intercepted the riders based on the information reported by the club members. Upon investigation Deputy Jeffs issued citations for off route travel to two riders, both of which were from Logan. These riders will be required to appear in the Castle Dale Justice Court.
During the week of March 27-30 additional off route travel occurred in this same area. The Emery County Sheriff's Office and BLM are currently investigating this incident. The Castle County OHV Club and the Southeastern Utah OHV Club have each offered a $250 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.
Many clubs, both local and regional have been involved in monitoring, maintaining and marking the open routes on the San Rafael Swell. Through the efforts of the BLM and volunteer groups, compliance to the travel plan has increased.
The BLM has maps available that were funded through a grant from the Utah State Parks and Recreation. This map was made by volunteers, state, federal and county representatives. This map is user friendly and shows all travel routes that are currently open. This map is free and will be available at the local BLM office. The local clubs encourage all motorized users to obtain a map prior to traveling on the desert. The local clubs also encourage users to strictly adhere to the travel map and avoid any off route travel. Many of the club members will be patrolling the San Rafael Swell during the Easter weekend to educate and promote on route compliance and safe OHV riding.
Over the last several weeks members from the Sage Riders Motorcycle Club, Castle Country OHV Club and Southeastern OHV Club have donated hundreds of volunteer hours in marking and maintaining the trail systems on the Swell. All OHV users need to educate themselves and join a local OHV club and volunteer. The more active approach the OHV clubs take the more likely they will be to maintain the use currently available.
Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon said, "As the Easter weekend approaches we request everyone's assistance in obeying all of the laws and state statutes and the BLM regulations. Let's make Easter weekend a pleasant, rewarding and safe weekend for those who go out to enjoy the beautiful country and scenery we have in Emery County.
"We're proud of what we enjoy here and wish to keep using and enjoying it into the future. To ensure our ability to do so, we must adhere to the laws and ordinances in place. Not doing so gives ammunition to those who wish to close us out of our public lands. Let's continue to enjoy our beautiful country without misuse. Often times it isn't county residents who disobey the rules on the Swell. Those coming into our area need to be educated as to what they can and can't do. Our deputy Ray Jeffs who patrols the Swell is very good with educating those using the Swell. He has passed out thousands of maps and when the newest map comes out he will pass those out as well. We're proud of the job, Deputy Jeffs is doing on the Swell. It has been a tremendous benefit having a patrolman on the Swell most of the time.
"He has been a first responder in many accidents, lost hikers, search and rescues, vehicle breakdowns and numerous other occasions. If everyone works together we can continue to use and benefit from the Swell," said Sheriff Guymon.

Despite the cold weather, church and a Broncos game, Littleton roused a proud battalion of residents to the World War II Memorial in Ketring Park at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, when Veterans Day has been observed since World War II.
"Our gathering here is just one small spark in the flame of pride that glows across the nation today," said Jack Woodman, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Pat Hannon Post 4666.
Woodman thanked the veterans present, and those who were there only in spirit, for making America's armed forces the most respected in the world.
"They didn't go to war because they loved fighting," he said. "They felt called to be part of something larger than themselves."
Right on cue, three warplanes graced the crowd with a flyover, garnering cheers and thumbs-up from the boots on the ground. In one of them was a member of Littleton's deep-rooted Trujillo family. Air Force Lt. Col. Pat Hanlon has flown an F-15 over the ceremony for the last several years.
"We're very proud," said his aunt, Phyllis Trujillo. "We think it's wonderful, and he's doing a good job."
Michael Romero, commander of the American Legion George C. Evans Post 103, said the tragedies of war are not without great benefits, having liberated slaves, stopped genocide and toppled terror around the world.
"Without our veterans, America would not be America," he said.
Romero's voice broke as he implored those present to always tend to the needs of the country's vets.
"Today's tattered veteran in the street was yesterday's toast of the town," he reminded them. "We can do better. We must. … Remember that next time you see a homeless person in the street or a man in a wheelchair or a difficult co-worker that's experiencing PTSD. … Nothing they ever do will eclipse their military service, and they do have the right stuff."

Its that kind of boots that can be dressed down for a cool and edgy look, or dressed up for a chic and classy look. Its TTS length-wise but narrow widthwise. If you've got wide feet, dont bother buying it online, cause even if you size up, its still narrow, rather, go into the store and try it on first, its definitely worth the journey."

Ellen Mogensen of HealPastLives.com shares another in a series of three karmic parenting articles.
Karmic Insight: Parenting-Programming
Dear Soul Friend,
Do you feel like your kids are just ignoring you? Have you inadvertently programmed them to do so?
When parents are being ignored by their children, it is because the children know there will be no consequences for doing so.
* Empty Threats: If you are always making empty threats like "I am going
to hang you by your toes unless you do…", "I am going to shoot you in the
head until you stop…", or "I am going to boil you in oil if you…", no one
is ever going to take you seriously. If you are saying things like this,
you are scaring your kids and you are programming them to ignore you.
This ends up frustrating you both as you get ignored because your child
cannot afford to take you seriously.
* Pointless Yelling: If you are always yelling at your child for each and
every thing they do, you are programming them to ignore you. When you are
treating everything they do as important, they end up learning that
nothing is important… and that you yelling at them is pointless. Those
parents who can communicate to their children in a calm and firm manner -
without raising their voice at all – the specific key point they need to
make – succeed better.
* Total Unfairness/Illogic: If you are always disciplining your children
for things that seem unfair or illogical to them, you are programming them
to ignore you. For example, if one child thinks/believes/perceives -
rightly or wrongly – that you are treating their sibling better, this
"unfairness" will cause them to ignore you. Similarly, if any child
thinks/believes/perceives – rightly or wrongly – that you are being
unreasonable about a rule or a punishment or that your explanation of why
they are being punished is bogus, this "illogic" will cause them to ignore
* No Follow Through: If you are always telling your children that if they
do "X" that this will result in "Y" consequence… but you do not ever
follow through with "Y" consequence… you are programming them to ignore
you. Unfortunately, children learn best from experiencing the
consequences of their actions. When actions have no consequences or
costs, there can be no learning or behavior change… this is true for both
children and adults.
Now that is "good" karma! For more, see
Inspire others by sharing your karmic successes in Ellen's Guestbook!
Wishing us all the best possible karma,

State honors crime victims and those who help them
BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. - Behind every crime is a victim, but they often go unnoticed. The State of Tennessee is honoring victims this week and those who work with them on their cases through the court system.
Crime often leaves voids in the lives of victims. "Honor those victims whether it's a child murdered, adult raped, or victims of property crime," says District Attorney General Barry Staubus.
The State of Tennessee is planting eight trees across the state in special ceremonies to raise awareness about the victims of crimes.
One tree was planted Thursday in front of the Sullivan County Child Advocacy Center. "To have this tree planted and me be the recipient it's the biggest honor of my life, to me it shows this tree will grow, victims can heal, they need nurturing just like this tree needs nurturing," says Amy Whitt-Bachman, who was honored with the Voices of Victim's Award by the Tennessee Board of Parole and the Department of Corrections.
Every year, Whitt-Bachman talks with more than 300 of Sullivan County's youngest crime victims about what they've been through her job at the Child Advocacy Center. "It's just a passion of mine. if I can help one child them my career is worth it," says Whitt-Bachman.
Defendants often grab the headlines with the charges they face and trips to court, but prosecutors say it's their victims the community cannot forget. "Often victims are behind the scenes but they are at the center of what we do, we are there because behind every crime there is a victim," says Staubus.
Thursday's event is one of eight tree planting ceremonies in communities across Tennessee this week.
Four dozen trees have been planted honoring victims since the program started a couple of years ago.

Nowadays, the Presidential inauguration is full of pomp and circumstance. Inaugural balls spanning a few days and a parade accompany the official swearing-in ceremony and luncheon. But the official swearing-in of the first modern president was far from elaborate. Indeed, Theodore Roosevelt's first inauguration in September 1901 was unexpected. As President William McKinley's condition began to worsen after being shot by Leon Czolgosz, Roosevelt was summoned from a camping and hiking trip with his family in the Adirondacks to Buffalo, New York. By the time Roosevelt arrived in Buffalo, McKinley had already passed away. Roosevelt, now constitutionally the President of the United States, was taken to the home of his friend Ansley Wilcox. After borrowing a mourning suit from Wilcox, Roosevelt went to pay respects to McKinley's family. When Roosevelt returned to Wilcox's home, other members of the Cabinet who were also in Buffalo – Secretary of War Elihu Root, Secretary of the Navy John Long, Attorney General Philander Knox, Secretary of the Interior Ethan Hitchcock, Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, and Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, along with United States District Court Judge John Hazel, New York Court of Appeals Judge Haight and New York Senator Chauncey Depew – without preparation came over to administer the oath of office. According to Wilcox's eyewitness account, Elihu Root requested that Roosevelt take the oath of office. Roosevelt answered: Mr. Secretary – I will take the oath. And in this hour of deep and terrible national bereavement, I wish to state that it shall be my aim to continue, absolutely without variance, the policy of President McKinley, for the peace and honor of our beloved country. President Roosevelt then made an announcement of his request to the cabinet to remain in office. The whole ceremony was over within half an hour after the cabinet had entered the house. Roosevelt met with the six cabinet members and requested that Wilcox bring him the "Messages and Papers of the President" - the volume containing the proclamation by President Chester Arthur of the death of President James Garfield. After taking a walk with Elihu Root, President Roosevelt drafted his drafted his proclamation of the death of President McKinley, appointing Thursday, September 19, 1901 a day of national mourning. The proclamation was issued to the press that evening. In the proclamation, Roosevelt declared: A terrible bereavement has befallen our people. The president of the United States has been struck down; a crime committed not only against the Chief Magistrate, but against every law-abiding and liberty-loving citizen. President McKinley crowned a life of largest love for his fellow-men, of most earnest endeavor for their welfare, by a death of Christian fortitude; and both the way in which he lived his life and the way in which, in the supreme hour of trial, he met his death, will remain forever a precious heritage of our people. That was the extent of President Roosevelt's first inauguration. There were no photographs of the event and the only parade was a funeral train for the fallen President William McKinley in Washington, DC. As Wilcox noted in his eyewitness account, "It takes less in the way of ceremony to make a President in this country, than it does to make a King in England or any monarchy, but the significance of the event is no less great." But McKinley's assassination changed everything. Mark Hanna, an Old Guard Republican and a McKinnley adviser lamented, "that damned cowboy is president now." In contrast to the first inauguration, President Roosevelt's second inauguration on March 4, 1905 was held with much celebration and fanfare, and by some accounts was the largest and most diverse in memory. In response to the jubilant festivities, Roosevelt remarked that he would have been "too much elated, if I did not have a very real and ever-present anxiety so to handle myself as to minimize the disappointment that many good people are sure to feel in what I am able to do." In contrast to surrounding festivities, TR delivered a short inaugural address. Perhaps the most memorable theme of TR's 1905 inaugural address is that great things are expected of those to whom much has been given: Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. During the swearing-in ceremony, TR wore a ring containing a lock of Abraham Lincoln's hair borrowed from Secretary of State John Hay who had served as Lincoln's personal secretary some 40 years earlier. Video capturing the events shows TR riding in an open landau on Fifteenth St., NW, escorted by Secret Service men, detectives and mounted Rough Riders, Roosevelt's old Spanish-American War regiment. Wisconsin Senator John C. Spooner, Chairman of the joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, and Pennsylvania Representative John Dalzell joined TR in the carriage. More than 35,000 celebrants marched in the ensuing parade, including coal miners, cowboys, and African-American cavalry troops. Most significantly, the inaugural parade featured six Native American Chiefs. When asked by inaugural committee member Woodworth Clum why he included the chiefs, Roosevelt replied simply, "I wanted to give the people a good show." But their inclusion in the parade had another purpose – to keep the image of Native Americans alive in the public consciousness. One of the Chiefs, Geronimo, had been a prisoner of war since 1886 and also used the opportunity to appeal to President Roosevelt to return to his homeland in the American Southwest. He pleaded to Roosevelt: Great Father, my hands are tied as with a rope. My heart is no longer bad. I will tell my people to obey no chief but the great White Chief. I pray you cut the ropes and make me free. Let me die in my own country, an old man who has been punished long enough and is free. TR, citing his worries that tensions would erupt between Geronimo and the non-Indians who now occupied his lands, thought it best that Geronimo remain in Oklahoma.

Judith Swaddling, curator, British Museum
That's what Andrew Graham-Dixon, television presenter, thinks of the Motya Charioteer. To me, not only is it an incredibly beautiful sculpture, but an extremely rare example of a Greek victor's statue, representing the winner of a chariot race that took place almost 2,500 years ago.
For the past couple of months the charioteer has been on display in the Parthenon gallery at the British Museum. As part of the 'Winning at the ancient Games' trail, this statue with unquestionable attitude is one of 12 objects telling us about different aspects of victory in ancient sport. The sculpture has gained a vast number of fans and has even moved visitors to tears by its beauty.
I can't help but contemplate what we've lost in the way of original Greek sculpture over the centuries. What survives is only a tiny fraction of the thousands of statues that stood in the sanctuaries of the gods and in public spaces. So we're all the more lucky to have the charioteer here on loan from his usual home in Sicily, as the spectacular highlight of our trail. Did many other statues exist that were as exquisite as this one, I wonder?
Victors in the games of ancient Greece were allowed to set up statues of themselves where they won the contest. Sometimes, because a win in one of the major games, then as now, was such good propaganda, his town or city would set up a similar statue in his honour back home. Nowadays we set up gold-painted post-boxes in their home towns instead!
The Charioteer was found in excavations in Sicily in 1979. It was more than likely a monument honouring the achievement of a local ruler in Sicily. The grassland of Sicily and southern Italy was first-class for horse-breeding, and the Greek rulers of cities there, in what was known as 'Greater Greece', won lots of equestrian victories in the major games, especially at Olympia and Delphi, back in Greece itself. Their coins boast the theme – a kind of parallel for our postage stamps with the 2012 winners.
In an ancient chariot race, with reputedly up to 40 chariots in a contest, there's no doubt that charioteers put their lives at risk. Some say the charioteer looks like a poser, but look more closely at that hand on the left hip. It doesn't just rest there decorously – it's really supporting his weight and digging into the flesh, pulling the fine cloth of the long tunic into incredibly realistic folds.
The thrust-out hip is unquestionably provocative, but isn't that how you'd stand with an exhausted body, yet proud and triumphant enough still to push out the chest and hold the head erect? The virtually transparent cloth clings to his body with the sweat and effort of the race. The veins on his upper arms still stand out with the blood coursing through.
True, there have been a large number of alternative interpretations of the figure, but the main reason for identifying it as a charioteer is the long tunic, the xystis, and the broad belt on to which the reins would have been fastened – on the statue, this would have been via fixings in the two holes in the belt at the front. This prevented the reins from being pulled out of the hands, but also dangerously prevented the charioteer from being thrown free in a crash. Most disasters happened at the turning posts at either end of the oblong track.
But there are so many other intriguing questions about the Charioteer.
Why was the statue found on a tiny island at the western tip of Sicily, – Motya, in ancient times a Phoenician stronghold? We know that it was from here that the Phoenicians, towards the end of the 5th century BC, raided a number of the Greek cities in Sicily, looting many sculptures and taking them back to their homeland – Carthage, in north Africa. If this was one of the looted statues, why was it taken to Motya instead? It was actually found built into fortifications which the Phoenicians must have rapidly constructed when Dionysios I, the Greek ruler of Syracuse, invaded in retaliation and sacked Motya not many years later in 397 BC. In ancient times it wasn't unusual to utilise statues or any other stonework at hand to hastily build up a barricade in times of siege.
Winning athletes in the ancient games became super-heroes, were given massive home-coming parades, and public honours such as free meals and theatre tickets for life. Some were even thought to have healing powers. They became celebrities, and could command prize money for appearances at festivals. Maybe our winner here would find a lot in common with our 2012 sporting heroes!
The statue is normally displayed at the Museo Giuseppe Whitaker on Motya and is on loan at the British Museum until 19 September courtesy of the Regione Siciliana, Assessorato dei Beni Culturali e dell'Identità Siciliana, with thanks to the Italian Cultural Institute in London.
Winning at the ancient Games was on display at the British Museum until 9 September 2012

Beefy Baron
11,480pages onAdd New Page

Beefy Baron is a minigame in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The game is unlocked after the completion of Zero's missions. The minigame is located in Zero RC at the back room. Step into the red marker while not on a mission to begin the game. The player will have remote control of the RC Baron. The objective of the game is to destroy as many Berkley Vans as possible within three minutes. The player can end the game by self destructing the RC Baron. This game is optional and is not required for 100% completion.
- If you fly the RC Baron on the waters of San Fierro beach you will fall into the Blue Hell.
- There is a game glitch that can be used to obtain the extremely rare Berkley's RC Van during this mission. Once you have started the mission and you have control of the RC Baron press the change view button (PC default is V, PS2 default is Select). Your view will change to a Berkley Van that has spawned high up above San Andreas with CJ in the driver's seat (you can't control it yet). The van will fall for about 15 seconds before smashing onto the roof of Zero's RC shop. Now fail the mission, (either by keeping the baron still for a while and pressing the LMB (PC) to self-destruct it, or by waiting for the timer to run out.) you will appear back in the shop. Quickly run outside and use the Jetpack cheat (or use your own if you have one nearby) and use it to fly up the roof of the shop. The Berkley Van will be there waiting for you, if it is not, then try again. Now you can simply drive it off the roof of the shop and it's all yours.

"I just received the navy ones today and they are beautiful! I was thankful that the ankle strap is adjustable so that the ankle strap wasn't too loose like others I have tried that just depend on the zipper back. I usually vary between and 8 and 8.5 and the 8.5 fits great. They are a very versatile shoe - can be dressed up or down!"

Perfect Summer Sandal
"I absolutely love these sandals. They are a perfect neutral low wedge that I can wear with shorts, skirts, dresses, or even jeans. I wore them for a few hours at a party and was comfortable the entire time. The leather is soft and supple, and the gold buckles accentuate the shoe perfectly. My feet are on the wide side, and the wide fits perfectly. Definitely my go-to summer sandal."

It wasn't long before we started to see changes in the landscape, where the deep red dust we'd become so accustomed to gave way to thick lush greens, hardy trees and countless salt lakes radiating a luminous green span beneath a cloudless blue sky. You beauty! The pictures will do very little justice.
Back in Kal, everyone had warned us - with an air of panic - that we would find no accommodation down in Esperance, nothing, and that we may end up having to rough it on the beach. Right-o. So imagine our mild surprise when the first door we knocked on gave us a half-decent twin overlooking the crystal blue picturesque bay of Esperance, all for a measly seventy bucks. Come on people.
Esperance itself is a pint-sized seaside village with a simple layout and friendly air. It became clear immediately why so many make it a holiday destination. And there's hardly anything to it, the perfect uncomplicated getaway, especially after spending months on end baking in the outback. To round off our arrival in style we got ourselves comfortable down on the rocks with a couple of stubbies, and spent a good while basking away in the setting sun until the growing southern chill had us clutching our nipples. Sore they were, but oh so worth it to see the ocean again.
Cape Le Grand National Park
'Best beaches in the world' we were told. Constantly. Bit of a bold statement really I thought, and so naturally took it with a pinch of salt. That's a ridiculous thing to say to someone. But they did say it with some conviction which kinda plucked with my curiousity. The Cape Le Grand National Park occupies a healthy chunk of land to the east of Esperance and its neighbouring townships, in a crooked and unsuspecting little hideaway somewhere in the south west corner of WA, Australia's Cornwall if you like. We handed over the mandatory $10 have-a-nice-day fee and blazed a trail over to 'Frenchman's Peak', an impressive looking monolith dominating the heart of the national park. An hour (and a touch of vertigo) later and we were atop the peak looking out over Cape Le Grand and its sprawl of endless bays and beaches, providing another great moment of wonder and inspiration. Awesome. There's a pic somewhere of my foot on the edge of the summit overlooking the tiny carpark below. A great vertigo moment too as I very nearly slipped while I was pissing about with the camera.
Panting like dogs and a good half-stone lighter we began the grand scour of the 'world's best', starting with Lucky Bay where we were truly, truly blown away. We couldn't contain ourselves. I jumped out and fumbled with the diff lock and we screamed down in the fourby onto the softest, whitest sand I've ever seen. Coating it serenely in lazy intervals was the most soothing pastel blue that could have existed. We'd just found heaven on earth. Naturally we hung around and spent most of our time in disbelief, confirming constantly between ourselves whether or not we were seeing the same thing. We were, and so we celebrated by eating a tasty sandwich, a sandwich that didn't have vegemite or blue cheese in it. Dare I say it, this was probably one of the best beaches in the whole world.
The sudden surge of excitement put us on an immediate roll. We pushed further, seeking out every beach, every bay along the coast, each one with a different character to the last, but essentially the same striking whites and blues. We were the only ones there. The place was amazing. We chased lizards across rocks, got lashed by the chilling spray of the southern ocean. Jay saw a cheeky roo being nosey in the foliage, I screamed like a girl and dodged a small herd of emus that suddenly bolted across the road right in front of us, and for a short time we became fearless crocodile hunters. The whole place came alive that day, but our adventures were far from over. By mid-afternoon we'd made it back over to Esperance and immediately swifted onto the Great Ocean Drive (in an anti-clockwise manner as quietly advised by one of the locals.) This attraction-filled loop gave us 'Pink Lake' (which today wasn't pink, much like the Blue Lake in Mount Gambier that day wasn't blue), the many wind farms that littered the inland-side, some magnificent views of the islands of the Recherche Archipelago, and Jay's favourite of all - the Ten Mile Lagoon. Every bit of it was stunning. We were like exciteable kids let loose without a curfew.
Back in Esperance we milled around and got stuck in to some of the silly overpriced tourist activities like crazy golf, where Jay got all cocky and hyperactive after beating me ('I'm tellin' ya, that hole's rigged!') In return I caned his arse at air hockey and stripped the grin away. And that night we went silly and splashed out. Celebrations were held in style at the 'Loose Goose' restaurant. I settled immediately with my instincts and jumped on a tender porterhouse with fat prawns, white wine and cream, while Jay sat smug with his thick chunk of Gummy shark. A bottle of Western Australian red accompanied the feast and we toasted our adventures with pride. Happy days. Shame the wine was shit..

One more quick question. Usually before my period my temp runs a little higher (between 99 and 99.4). Tonight I feel rather anxious, in an antsy can't sit still kind of way. I took my temp twice, and got 99 and 98.9. Should this be worriseme?

There are a thousand and one apps and online calculators that can tell you how far along you are, when each trimester begins, when your due date is, etc. At this stage, you're in your fifth week and your due date is March 10, 2014. Don't worry about your temperature. 99 is within normal range and nothing to worry about.~ Violet Elizabeth Rose ~

Just to add to Sarah re temperature - if you are consistently taking your temperature at roughly the same time each day, the pattern is to have relatively low temperatures after your period, followed by a spike at ovulation, higher temperatures remain after ovulation and can stay high-ish during your period before dropping again. However, if you are pregnant (as you are), temperatures will remain high. Congratulations, and try not to worry about these things!

Apple (AAPL) was the most over-owned stock among hedge funds at the end of the second quarter, according to a Citigroup analysis.
Like its list of equities over-owned by mutual funds, which found Google (GOOG) in the top spot, it's not a rigorous scientific survey, but it is still a useful guide.
According to the analysts, Apple scraped out ahead of Priceline (PCLN), to be the most over-owned, held by 11 of the biggest funds, up from nine in the first quarter (in a neat reversal, Priceline went from being owned by 11 in the first quarter to nine in the most recent).
Qualcomm (QCOM) scooped up the No. 3 spot, and Citi notes that "IT names represented one-third of the top holdings positions for hedge funds, marginally ahead of Discretionary names, while Health Care and Energy lost ground."
Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA), which split off from Barron's parent company News Corp. (NWSA) in late June, debuted on the list at No. 4.
Given that hedge funds' affection for American International Group (AIG) is no secret, it's not surprising that the firm rounds off the top five, although its ownership dropped from 11 to seven firms.

I would go with Rynnas on Thursday since the Sabres are struggling to score goals it's a great opportunity for Rynnas to get more experience in the NHL.
February 20 2013, 02:18PM
rynnas. to give scrivens a bit of a break, since he's played 3 straight games. (oh, btw. since the sabres just fired their coach, they might be a bit disoriented, so hopefully the Leafs can take advantage of that.) ps the "bye!" at the end made me laugh. :)
February 20 2013, 03:24PM
I would play Scrivens, dont want to kill his confidince, but if he is to loose I would play Rynnas against the Sens, Scrivens might just need a brake but throw to the sabers and see if it was more of a team preformance agaisnt tampa or was it the goaltending

Fake Bake
Fake Bake Self Tanning Mousse
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- Exclusive, patented formula contain penetrants that bond with your skins own pigment
- Transports DHA and Erythrulose, the active tanning ingredients, to deeper layers of skin
- When used as directed the colors stays for days without fading
- Hypo-allergenic
- Non-comedogenic, not showing up in pores when used on the face
- Completely streak and hassle free
- About the brand
A must have for anyone that is always on the go! This great alternative to the Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion dries within seconds and is great for daytime or maintenance wear. Get ready to experience the richest, longest lasting tan that's more intense and natural looking than anything else on the market.
Water (Aqua), Dihydroxyaceton, Propylene Glycol, Decyl Glucoside, Glycerin, Methyl Gluceth-20, Erythrulose, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Isoceteth-20, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Fragrance, Red 40 (Cl 16035), Blue 1 (Cl 42090), Yellow 5 (Cl 19140), Yellow 6 (Cl 15985).
Patch test for sensitive skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Avoid contact with eyes. This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. Repeated exposure of unprotected skin while tanning may increase your risk of skin aging, skin cancer, and other harmful effects to the skin even if you do not burn.
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES. Apply to clean skin as often as desired for a deeper, darker tan. Make sure skin is free from soap residue and oil; if there is too much oil on the skin, the mousse will have increased "slip" and spreads very thin leaving less of the tanning agents on the skin. For longer lasting tan, apply at night and remove color guide in the shower the next morning; for an even darker tan, use Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion at night and mousse in the morning. You may see a small amount of the color guide in water when you bathe but your tan still remain. Can also be applied for day-wear. If applied during day, allow to dry thoroughly and buff off excess color guide with a dry towel. Avoid contact with water or perspiring for at least 4 hours.
Fake Bake has conquered the quest for a perfect tan that doesn't damage your health. Formulas are preservative-free and contain botanically extracted ingredients, which means no streaking or unpleasant odors and they're gentle enough for sensitive skin. Fake Bake products hydrate and protect your body without clogging pores so you can enjoy a luxurious experience and rich looking tan that's natural and safe.
Really Easy To Use!This mousse is very easy to apply and does not leave streaks. I tried the Fake Bake spray and liked it but it has to be used outside or in a tub to avoid stains. Not so with this product. My 15 year old was able to use it with good results also so it is not complicated to use at all. The color does not stay on as long as the spray but you can apply the mousse more often so it is not a big deal. I will never be ashamed to wear shorts again.Aug 30, 2011Teresa R. / Midwest

Great Bronzer Poor Self TannerEasy to apply escpecially if you have an application mitt. The instant color is very nice and natural but even after letting it dry for an hour before going to bed I woke up to my sheets covered in bronzer. Not a big deal since it comes out in the wash but the resulting tan after I showered was barely noticeable. So for the amount of work and sticky feeling this gives you for the color you receive I wouldn't recommend it.Aug 3, 2011Ben M. / California, United States

I Got A Rash :-(I tried the product on my arms and woke up the next morning with a rash all over my body! It was worse on my arms though. Too bad, because otherwise I would have bought the product. Glad I didn't! But if you aren't allergic, it's great. You will probably need more than one layer to look like it is a tan. It mostly looks like a natural glow on me.Jul 20, 2011Debra A.

Awesome!I have tried almost all self-tanners as I gave up regular tanning because of associated risks. The Fake Bake mousse has the best color I have ever seen- in great similarity with air-brush tanning, which is expensive, time consuming, and generally hard to find, not to mention hard to fit into a busy schedule. It gives a deep tan with one application. Will absolutely buy again. I left some tips in the product tips section.Feb 22, 2007Meg / Massachusetts

Great!I reallllly do like this product! It is super easy to apply, dries super quick, and tastes like burnt chocolate (which is better than most self tanners...). However, it only stays on for about 2 days! Im sad because it gives me such a beautiful color.Nov 30, 2006Grace / Georgia

The IPCC was established by UNEP and WMO in 1988 to assess the state of existing knowledge about climate change: its science, the environmental, economic and social impacts and possible response strategies.

IPCC will release its Fourth Assessment report in 2007.
