DONETSK, February 2. /TASS/. Authorities in east Ukraine's self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic said on Monday they were planning a general mobilization in 10 days to boost their forces to 100,000 men.
The republic's leader, Alexander Zakharchenko, told journalists that people would be called up on a voluntary basis.
"We want to mobilize the number of people needed to increase the numerical strength of our army to 100,000," Zakharchenko said. "This will be a voluntary mobilisation."
"Our enemy is building up its forces in the south - the Donetsk airport, the city of Peski and the Opytnyi district - probably for an attack… and we should adjust to the situation", he said, adding that at least five additional units would be formed and trained until spring, including motorised rifle, artillery and tank brigades.

Lions Gate Bridge - National Historic Site Project
On Sunday, May 23, 2010, during a blustery West Coast afternoon, about 100 guests turned out to witness a Plaque Unveiling Ceremony commemorating the historical significance of the Lions Gate Bridge. It was fitting that the ceremony was held on Ambleside Beach as the bridge formed a majestic backdrop behind the invited guests. The Squamish Nation Eagle Song Dancers welcomed the dignitaries to the ceremony platform with their traditional welcoming dance and song.

Dr. Strong-Boag gave the background on the importance of recognizing our Canadian historical sites. Mr. Robin Inglis, historian and author enlightened the crowd on the history of the bridge. Jim Carter, President of the West Vancouver Historical Society, introduced the grandsons of the late A.J.T. "Fred" Taylor who, along with the Guinness family, was responsible for instigating the bridge project in the 1930's. The speakers reminded us of the importance of the building of the bridge in the development of West Vancouver and other North Shore communities and how the bridge continues on a daily basis to be a vital link to the rest of the Lower Mainland. The Lions Gate Bridge stands today as an iconic symbol at the entrance to the City of Vancouver.
Welcoming Speech from Mayor Pamela Goldsmith-Jones
Ambleside Beach, West Vancouver, BC
MAYOR PAM GOLDSMITH-JONES: "Together with Councillor Evison, Soprovich and Lewis, who are here today, it is an honour to welcome you all on the happy occasion of the commemoration of the Lions Gate Bridge as a National Historic site. Today is a celebration of the history of the bridge and of the sense of place it represents in so many ways. Our guests will talk about this legacy. As the Mayor of West Vancouver, I would like to talk about the role the bridge plays in our daily lives and of its future.
The bridge is the way we leave home. And not a trip is taken heading into town where we don't cast our eyes across Burrard Inlet and, in the words of e. e. cummings, say to ourselves "thank you god for most this amazing day." And we come home the same way. As we crest the middle of the bridge and begin the gentle decline towards home, leaving behind the city and its pressures, in some way or another we understand that there is really no such thing as a dream home. Rather, home is a place from which we dream. The Lions Gate Bridge has inspired those dreams, and still does, each day.
Of course the bridge was built at a time of great hope for the future. Today, we should also reflect on its footings, located on Squamish Nation land. Once again, settlement patterns on the North Shore are about to change and the Lions Gate Bridge is at the heart of this shared future. As we celebrate the heritage, beauty and promise of the Lions Gate Bridge during the 20th century, may we look to the 21st century and the challenge and change it will represent, with the same sense of enterprise and optimism. Time does not stand still. As Gandhi said, we should not be afraid to open the windows to let the winds of change blow through, but we must be sure we are on strong foundations. The Lions Gate Bridge stands as a symbol of opening up, and of the fusion of practicality and elegance, and as a startlingly beautiful entrance to an extraordinary place to live. On behalf of the residents of West Vancouver, we know we are very fortunate to live here and we are very proud to be part of today's historic celebration."
Remarks by WVHS President Jim Carter
WVHS PRESIDENT JIM CARTER: "The WVHS is pleased and proud to participate in this ceremony today. Our members, led by Peter Hall, initiated the process of gaining National Heritage Status for the Lions Gate Bridge a number of years ago.
More recently a new board has initiated the process of preparing a history of the neighbourhoods of West Vancouver to celebrate our centenary in 2012. Throughout our research we have been reminded again and again of the significant role that the Bridge has played in the development of our Municipality.
I would like to tell you one quick story about how the coming of the Bridge affected this very site. Where we are standing today was occupied by summer homes and squatter shacks in the early 1930's. It was called East Beach. The street and the residents were listed in the Greater Vancouver Gazette. When the decision was made to build the Bridge and develop the British Properties, Mayor Leyland decided that the area needed to be cleaned up. Two of our current residents and members of the Society, Vic Cue and Alex Swanson, vividly remember their families being told to remove anything of value before their homes were raised and burned to make way for this beautiful park.
This story and many others have led us to a title for our book. "Cottages to Community". It is the story of the people and the history of the neighbourhoods of West Vancouver. Our plan is to publish the book in September 2011. Central to our findings has been the tremendous influence that the Bridge has had on the development of our Community. Easier access changed us from a summer cottage area to a viable commuter area. In fact it has become one of the most desirable residential areas in all of Canada. The key was the vision of A. J. T. Taylor and the Guinness family and their desire to build the bridge and develop the British Properties.
The Society wants to thank all of those Federal, Provincial and Civic officials who have made this special event possible, as well as the Squamish people, upon whose land the North end of the Bridge sits."
Noted historian and author Mr. Robin Inglis provided those attending the commemoration with a fascinating historical overview of the Lions Gate Bridge.
WVHS President Jim Carter and Dr. Veronica Strong-Boag
listen to Mr. Robin Inglis' account of the history of Lions Gate Bridge.
MR. ROBIN INGLIS:"In 1955 the Province of British Columbia bought the Lions Gate Bridge from the First Narrows Bridge Company, which had built the bridge with private funds during 1937 and 1938. In doing so it removed the original plaque which had provided the only clearly stated public recognition of company president, A.J.T. "Fred" Taylor, the principal protagonist in the drama of the building of the Lions Gate Bridge. It is doubtful today that those in the cars speeding up and down Taylor Way have any idea who "Taylor" was and what he achieved.
Fred Taylor was a self-taught engineer who founded a company in 1912 that became involved in development projects around the province and in the United States. The early 1920s found him in England where he moved in high society at a time when many of its richest members were seeking to escape high taxation by investing in the colonies. Taylor was keen to return to Vancouver and he established a company called British Pacific Securities (later British Pacific Trust) to facilitate investment in BC. His particular dream, to be pursued over 20 year, was to develop residential property in West Vancouver linked to the city by a great bridge. Developing the "empty lands" above the little town that had grown up around the ferry dock and PGE stations to the west of the First Narrows, became a consuming passion.
In assembling enough land for a major residential development Taylor faced stiff competition. But in the end he enjoyed the advantage of a ready-made investment syndicate, which became increasingly important as the Depression of the 1930s took hold in the province.
The idea of a bridge at the First Narrows, that would lead to the development of the North Shore, was not new. Since the arrival of the railway and the rebuilding of Vancouver after the Great Fire of the late 1880s, it had long been recognized that the natural benefits of Burrard Inlet as a port were also a natural barrier to the north shore's integration into an expanding Vancouver. There were two obvious crossings and the first to be achieved – at Second Narrows in 1925 - spurred growth in North Vancouver – in Lynn Valley, along the waterfront and with a resort on top of Grouse Mountain. But limited automobile traffic on Marine Drive and the collapse of the PGE in 1928 had ensured that West Vancouver would remain largely beyond this growth.
As early as the 1890s, both tunnels and bridges had been discussed for the first narrows, but one by one the plans had died in the face of economic downturns and war. They were revived, however, in earnest during the 1920s as prosperity returned to BC. In 1926 two companies entered the field in response West Vancouver's offer of tax sale lands, in return for the building of a bridge. In 1927 a Royal Commission studied the plans of these competing projects. It found that a bridge was technically feasible and the companies received provincial charters to proceed with their plans. But there were serious questions about too short or too low a bridge being a hazard to navigation as more and bigger ships would come into port. Others felt that the natural beauty of the site would be spoilt, that the second narrows remained the best long-term option for improved crossings and that another bridge was unnecessary. Above all many regarded the impact on Stanley Park would as unacceptable. That year a plebiscite was held in Vancouver and the idea was roundly defeated; both companies saw their financial backers drift away and momentum was lost.
The 1930s, with its Great Depression, must have appeared an unlikely time for a $6 million bridge building project to succeed, offering little hope to Alfred Taylor and his partners. But he three things ran in his favour:
- the continuing interest of West Vancouver in making several thousand acres of land available north of Marine Drive to a height of 1200 ft;
- the continuing interest of his partners in supporting Taylor's dream. Indeed it was at this point that the Guinness brewing family came into the picture and as his plans unfolded so did the opening of their corporate wallet, and
- his success in 1931 in securing control of the First Narrows Bridge Company, an amalgamation of the two earlier projects in the wake of the lost Vancouver plebiscite, thus inheriting their charter.
By the end of 1931 therefore three things had come together – the availability of land, committed financing and provincial permission. The only negative in all this was the way in which Squamish Reserve land was completely undervalued and sold by the Federal Government without any consultation, a betrayal that still rankles. To complement the First Narrow Bridge Company, British Pacific Properties was formed by the investment syndicate, and presented a firm proposal to develop a 4,000 acre site in the "Highlands" as it was then known, with cleared lots, road, water lines, sewer lines, a golf course and a school. It was approved in a plebiscite in West Vancouver by a vote of 1,329 to 26. The municipality received $75,000 in cash, which, at the height of the Depression, probably saved it from the bankruptcy that befell its two North Vancouver neighbours.
However, Taylor's struggles were not over; two political battles had yet to be won and they would drain much of his energy over the next four years. The first was in Vancouver, where debate was fierce, manipulated behind the scenes by the CPR for its own interests related to navigation in the narrows, but principally to protect its own development interests in the City. Taylor however exposed this conflict of interest, and his cause was further advanced by the promise of local jobs and a four-year lack of access to the North Shore at Second Narrows after a barge had knocked out the rickety road and rail bridge. A plebiscite was held in December 1933 and, overcoming their concerns for Stanley Park, Vancouver citizens voted in favour of the project. Dealing with Ottawa where eastern indifference to Vancouver interests and CPR influence with R. B. Bennett's government was a potent force, however, proved more difficult. Despite earlier support for the project, Bennett stalled federal approval for close to two years and only after Mackenzie King was voted into power in late 1935 was approval reluctantly given. Taylor was exhausted by the battle but had managed to keep his investors loyal to the dream, particularly when he negotiated an agreement between the Dominion Bridge Company and the Western Bridge Company, to take shares in the First Narrows Bridge Company and to share the work.
Construction officially started in the spring of 1937 and proceeded rapidly. It has been captured for posterity in hundreds of remarkable photographs in our local archives. The bridge was opened to pedestrians and cars in November 1938. Renowned local sculptor Charles Marega splendid lions added an especially attractive touch to the art-deco southern approach.
As private enterprise the Lions Gate Bridge was a toll bridge and part of the toll complex buildings can still be seen at the North end. Ticket #1 was sold to Reeve Joe Leyland of West Vancouver, #2 to Mayor George Miller of Vancouver. In May 1939 the King and Queen honoured the bridge by driving over it.
The lightness of its design, the majesty of its span and its ability to enhance rather than detract from its setting immediately won for the bridge wide public acceptance and a loyalty that 50 years later would demand its reconstruction rather than its replacement, when that possibility on the table in the 1990s. Today we rightly recognize and celebrate a remarkable achievement of design and engineering – truly a national historic site in every sense of the word - and what it, itself, achieved in the building of the North Shore's vibrant communities.
In all this, however, we should never forget the vision and incredible tenacity and entrepreneurial skill of Alfred Taylor. He made it possible. His untimely death in 1945 at age 58 robbed him of the inevitable accolades that would have come his way had he lived to an older age. Perhaps in the future more people can come to appreciate why it is so appropriate that the Lions Gate Bridge and the British Properties are forever linked by 'Taylor Way.' "

In an article published in the June 2, 2010 edition of the Vancouver Sun - "He built the Lions Gate Bridge, spawned a community and has been largely forgotten" - columnist Pete McMartin expressed a concern that A.J.T. Taylor and the Guinness family were not referred to in the plaque text, (a concern shared by a number of people who are familiar with the history of the bridge including Robin Inglis, Don Luxton and Jim Carter):
"Oddly, the only names mentioned on the plaque are those of the design firm, Monsarrat and Pratley. But the two names most responsible for the bridge's existence, not to mention the existence of West Vancouver itself, will be missing from that plaque: that of the Guinness family, who financed, constructed and originally owned the bridge, and more importantly, the little-known name of A.J.T. Taylor."
In another Vancouver Sun article published on June 22, 2010 - "The man who bridged a century, and the First Narrows" - Pete McMartin tells the compelling story of an engineer who was one of a number of courageous men involved in the construction of Lions Gate Bridge.
"That William Kent wrote me a letter rather than an e-mail might provide a clue about his age. He is 102. He wrote to say that he had read a column I did on the dedication of the Lions Gate Bridge as a national historic site, and that if he had known about it, he would have been there, too. He had been an engineer on the bridge."
BC Parks provided the following information about Lions Gate Bridge.
Lions Gate Bridge National Historic Site
The Lions Gate Bridge is an outstanding landmark with important symbolic value to Canadians. It features an elegant design complemented by a spectacular setting. The suspension bridge is a remarkable engineering feat that incorporates the latest design developments of its day. It has been crucial to the development of Vancouver's North Shore.
The concept of building a bridge across the narrowest part of Burrard Inlet, at the entrance to the port of Vancouver, had been considered since the late nineteenth century, but the project did not truly take shape until the early 1930s, at the instigation of businessman A.J.T. Taylor and the Guinness family, who had purchased 4,000 acres of what is now West Vancouver. At that time, Vancouver's northern and western suburbs were beginning to develop and the economic crisis of the thirties meant there was a demand for projects that created jobs. The bridge was designed by the Montreal firm of Monsarrat and Pratley, together with Vancouver engineer W.G. Swan, and consulting engineers from New York. Construction began on July 7, 1937, and the bridge was officially opened on May 26, 1939.
The Lions Gate is a suspension bridge, with a 472-metre main span, two 187-metre side spans, and a 659-metre steel viaduct. The slender metal towers are 118 metres high, and are tapered from base to top. The two suspension cables supporting the bridge deck are 37 cm in diameter, and each one is made up of 61 strands of 47 prestressed wires. The use of prefabricated strands was an advanced technique at the time, which allowed the cables to be more easily installed. The suspension cables are loaded by hangers of about 45 mm in diameter, supporting the deck, and the suspension cable anchors are made of reinforced concrete. The southern entrance to the bridge is in Stanley Park and features two art-deco-inspired concrete lion sculptures by Vancouver sculptor Charles Marega.
With its tremendous size and openwork towers, the design of the Lions Gate Bridge complements the mountain landscape surrounding it. The slender profile of Lions Gate Bridge is representative of suspended bridges built in the 1920s and 1930s. From the time it was completed, it has been regarded as an outstanding example of structural engineering and a recognized Vancouver landmark. It has contributed greatly to the development of the city's north shore, especially of West Vancouver.
At the turn of the twenty-first century, the bridge was modernized, including the construction of a new deck and stiffening trusses, improved anti-seismic protection, expansion of its vehicle and pedestrian lanes, construction of observation platforms, and installation of new signage and monitoring facilities. All this work was performed while preserving the bridge's integrity, including its configuration, structure and materials, as well as its aesthetic design, its historical appearance and its symbolic value to Canadians.

The Youth of Ashley County got to show off their real "live" projects last weekend.
The Future Farmers of America Association and the Ashley County 4-H program both had students participating in the livestock contests and events at the Ashley County Fair.

According to the program sponsors, the students feed and care for their animals to get them to meet certain requirements. The students have guidance from their group sponsors and their parents, but the students have to put in a lot of work to raise the animals on their own.
"He feeds them and raises them and he can tell you all about it," Brooke Allen said about her son, Hayden Allen, and his chickens.
Members of the Crossett FFA who competed included Paige Thompson, Daniel Johnson, Danni Dolan, and Anna Rice. Thompson won first place in the Medium Weight Commercial Heiffer category and Grand Champion with her livestock. Johnson and Dolan both entered market hogs. Johnson won first place and second place. In addition to hogs, Dolan also entered poultry and won multiple poultry ribbons including Grand Champion Bantam Rooster. Rice entered and won ribbons with rabbits.
The Ashley 4-H members who participated were Braley Moffatt, Mabry Davis, Hayden Allen, Addison Allen, Hunter Adams, Logan Whitaker and Landon Whitaker.
Moffatt entered livstock in the Small Weight Commercial Heiffer category. Moffatt won first place and reserve grand champion. Moffatt also won multiple first and second prize poultry awards. Davis was awarded ribbons for her goats and rabbits. Hayden Allen won ribbons for his chickens including Grand Champion Poultry. Addison Allen won first place in water fowl with her Chinese goose. Adams won Grand Champion and other ribbons for his rabbits. Logan and Landon Whitaker both won poultry ribbons.
The Hamburg FFA students who competed were Nicole Martin and Ashley Hollis. Hollis also competes through the County 4-H program.
Martin raised hogs and won grand champion and reserve grand champion with her market hogs. Hollis raises goats and chickens. She won multiple ribbons with her poultry and grand champion with one of her goats.
In addition to raising animals for show, Hollis competes with her horses and participated in last week's horse show. Hollis is a former rodeo queen and won Miss Teen Ashley County Horsemanship.
Hollis' story began with her wishing for a horse to almost having an entire farm. Hollis says she wants to add cows.
"When we jumped in, we jumped all in," Hollis said.

Experts on happiness say that the happiest times are not going on vacation or visiting with friends or doing other things that supposedly make you happy, but actually, the time right before that: the anticipation of going on vacation or visiting with friends or doing other things you enjoy. Pooh Bear's most joyful moment is the moment just before he has a little smackeral of honey.
At school this week, we have had the anticipation of Christmas vacation all week to make people wired. Then there was the anticipation of Christmas. Then add in the possible snow day factor. Then stir in a little intense sadness induced by a school shooting, some anticipation of the end of the world at the end of the week, and you have a most bizarre and edgy concoction of emotions. I'm frankly quite glad to be done teaching for the day.
And guess what was on the answering machine when I got home? School is cancelled tomorrow for the blizzard. For real.
The weather people are predicting high winds, 12 to 17 inches of snow, and "Thundersnow". Thundersnow should be a superhero, don't you think?

The 2014 Global Dressage Festival continued with its fifth week of competition on Saturday at The Stadium at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC) featuring CDI 4* and 3* competition. Saturday's FEI Grand Prix Special 4* saw a top finish for Adrienne Lyle (USA) aboard Wizard, a 15-year-old Oldenburg gelding by Weltmeyer, owned by Peggy Thomas. The pair scored a 70.353% for the win with Megan Lane (CAN) and Caravella in second with a 69.922%. Eliane Cordia-van Reesema (USA) and Jewel's Adelante finished third with a 66.569%. "I was incredibly happy with him today," Lyle said of Wizard. "It was the end of a long, hot weekend and he tried so hard. I thought his piaffe/passage was much stronger than it has been. I was super happy with that because that is what we have been focusing on, really trying to solidify that and getting active, relaxed, and confident in that. The rider totally blew the changes today, but I would much rather have me making an error than having some issue with him. The canter work normally we are very solid in, so that is something I just need to fix, but he was wonderful."
Lyle thought that Saturday's test was one of her best, noting that although there were small errors, he felt confident. "I thought the piaffe/passage was the best," she stated. "I thought the trot work was very solid. As far as the feeling I got from it, I thought that was one of the best. He just felt solid. He felt there for me. He felt relaxed; he wasn't stressed about stuff. I think it definitely helps that we have been able to come back to this venue and I think it helps that I have been able to get here enough. It's not like I show and then go home for six months and wonder if what stuff I was working on six months ago is still relevant." In addition to working on Wizard's piaffe and passage work, Lyle has been trying to improve his fitness level with different exercise.
"I take him out twice a week and we go hacking for like an hour," she explained. "I take him on the trails through the housing developments and things like that so he gets a little more physical fitness as well as working on the moves. I have added a little more cardio. There is a big, nice field across from us where we can take them out and trot and canter." Lyle has hopes of qualifying for the U.S. team for this year's Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games and also plans to compete in the World Cup qualifiers coming up in the AGDF season. She explained that she has rearranged her freestyle music a little bit and is trying to keep Wizard fit and healthy. "I think I am on a good path with him," she said. "I want to just keep it going, keeping him happy, trying to improve the little parts that we need, but not overdoing it. Today I was on 18 minutes before my ride. I did a very short warmup because I did too much on Thursday. Hopefully I am getting to a place where I can trust him, just get on and do a little loosening and that is going to keep him physically and mentally much happier than having to be out there drilling." "I was really happy with today's win and being in a 4*, that was huge," Lyle acknowledged. "It was great competition. I am happy not just that he won, but that he was honest in the places that I needed him to be honest. That for me was the most important thing."
Megan Lane had a great test with Caravella in Saturday's class as well and praised her mare, a 13-year-old KWPN by Contango. "I think it went fantastic," Lane smiled. "She is all the time better. We have not been doing the Grand Prix for very long, so every single ride I am happier than I was before and that is all that I can ask for." Lane has owned Caravella since the mare was eight years old and explained that she is very willing. "She is multi-talented," Lane described. "(Her sire) Contango was a jumper. She is versatile in that sense. I bought her from a hunter/jumper barn and she did perfectly late hunter changes, but I was able to fix the changes within a week. She is super trainable."
"She is so much fun," she added. "She is everything you could ask for in a small package, which I think makes a rider's life easy. The highlight of her I would say is her trainability. She loves learning new things and she loves being great."

Michael Barisone and Ellegria Top FEI Grand Prix Special 3*
Veteran dressage competitor Michael Barisone topped the FEI Grand Prix Special 3*, sponsored by The Dutta Corp., earlier on Saturday evening. The American rider took Lauren Sprieser's 13-year-old Westphalian mare Ellegria to the blue ribbon finish with a score of 68.873%.
He continued, "The best of everybody in the world here at one time, and I sleep in my own bed at night. You can't say that at Aachen. I rode five horses at home and saw 20 horses in my ring this morning before I came over and rode my test. That's cool. The reality is what they've created here is unique to the world."

Juan Matute, Jr. Continues Small Tour Hot Streak with Don Diego Ymas
Juan Matute, Jr. (ESP) has taken the small tour by storm this season with Don Diego Ymas. The pair picked up their second win of the weekend in Saturday's FEI Intermediaire-1, sponsored by Havensafe Farm. Matute, Jr. also won the FEI Junior Individual class later in the day with Dhannie Ymas and a score of 72.149%. The FEI Young Rider Individual class went to Tanya Strasser-Shostak (CAN) and Action Tyme.
Matute, Jr. topped the class with a 74.553% on Don Diego Ymas, an 11-year-old Hanoverian gelding owned by the Matute Family. Second place went to Canadian Brittany Fraser and her own All In, a nine-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding. The pair scored a 69.921%. Silva Martin (USA) rounded out the top three with a score of 68.974% aboard Rosa Cha W, an eight-year-old Warmblood mare owned by the Osa Cha W Syndicate.
Matute, Jr. jokingly declared to his mother that Saturday would be the day he would hit a score of 74, but the top score still came as a surprise to the 16-year-old phenom. "It feels kind of weird. It's such a hard mark. It's like, 'Wow I really did a 74?' It's shocking, but I'll take it!" Matute, Jr. beamed. Of his test, Matute, Jr. said, "It was phenomenal. One of the best feelings I've had in the ring for a long time. It was the test. I couldn't ask for more." After their auspicious debut on the small tour, Matute, Jr. plans to move up to the Under-25 division and attempt grand prix later this year. Don Diego Ymas is already well-schooled at the grand prix level, and Matute, Jr. is more than up to the challenge. "My dad likes to start teaching passage-piaffes when they are very young. Of course, not all out, but a little bit here and there so they start to get the feeling of collection and using their haunches. He does completely grand prix. We started doing the one tempis two months ago and I can already say we are solid in thirteen, so we're almost all the way there!" Matute, Jr. smiled.
Don Diego Ymas has been a member of the family for the last seven years, with Matute, Jr. having the ride for the last three. The road to the small tour hasn't always been easy, but Matute, Jr. couldn't ask for a better partner. "He's a big horse. He used to be very spooky. He didn't have self-confidence; he was a little bit insecure all the time, but overall he has a great mind. His personality is the best. He's goofy. We call him 'Goofy' in the barn, like Goofy from Disney. He's a lovely horse," Matute, Jr., described.

When it rains around here it really POURS ... and I'm not talking about the four-hour line of intense thunderstorms that blasted through here last night. (In case you're interested, no, we did NOT get any basketball-size hail.) Actually, I'm referring to REMODELING PROJECTS here at Howdygram headquarters. While we're still waiting for our second estimate for kitchen cabinet refacing — a project that will probably cost about $8,500 with all the cool extra doo-dads we decided to throw in — I realized last night that the shower in our master bathroom is having leak and grout issues again.
If you've been reading the Howdygram for a while you might recall our never-ending nightmare last year with Clayton and the grout people [see previous posts], a crew of pitifully unskilled and functionally illiterate "grout specialists" who spent FOUR EXCRUCIATING MONTHS grouting, caulking, demolishing and rebuilding the shower in our master bath — ELEVEN TIMES ALTOGETHER — to try and remediate a water leak in our marble sit-down bench. A $575 regrouting project eventually cost us $2,500 ... and now it looks like we'll have to start over because the grout under the bench is turning brown again and the caulk is peeling off. This time, however, we'll get estimates from real bathroom remodeling companies — NOT STINKING GROUT PEOPLE — for a completely new shower enclosure with some fancy-ass features for senior citizens. I'm particularly impressed by two excellent and highly-reviewed companies I researched online: ReBath of Dallas and New Bath Technologies.
Is there anything wonderful on your Saturday agenda? It's not quite 8 a.m. here and Sam is getting ready for a quick excursion to his favorite doughnut dealer and a stop at McDonald's for a couple of Sausage Biscuits with Egg for yours truly plus a bag of hash browns. I'M TOTALLY STARVING. When I woke up at 5 a.m. my blood sugar was very low (only 56) and I've been waiting patiently for food for the last three hours. I'm a good person. I DESERVE SAUSAGE BISCUITS AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME.
Next month Tammy and Josh — Sam's sister and nephew — will be visiting Howdygram headquarters for a couple of days at the start of their big Texas road trip, and to help launch the festivities Sam will take them to the Texas Rangers baseball game on May 17. After doing some brief research this morning about the park's concessions I realize how hopelessly out-of-touch I am with modern baseball food, because the last time I went to a game was 1969 at Wrigley Field in Chicago — GO CUBS! — when Oscar Mayer Smokie Links were 35¢ each and Cokes were a quarter. Life is very, very different now.
And now it's time for my first nap of the day! Try to keep the noise to a minimum, okay?

Legal Status
Document Details
Published Document
Coast Guard, DHS.
Temporary final rule.
The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, is temporarily changing the regulation governing the Rock Island Railroad and Highway Drawbridge, across the Upper Mississippi River at Mile 482.9, at Rock Island, Illinois. The drawbridge need not open for river traffic and may remain in the closed-to-navigation position from 7:30 a.m., December 15, 2003, until 7:30 a.m., March 15, 2004. This temporary rule is issued to facilitate annual maintenance and repair on the bridge.
This temporary rule is effective from 7:30 a.m., December 15, 2003, until 7:30 a.m., March 15, 2004.
Documents referred to in this rule are available for inspection or copying at room 2.107f in the Robert A. Young Federal Building at Eighth Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch, 1222 Spruce Street, St. Louis, MO 63103-2832, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The telephone number is (314) 539-3900, extension 2378. The Bridge Branch maintains the public docket for this rulemaking.Start Further Info
Mr. Roger K. Wiebusch, Bridge Start Printed Page 63987Administrator, (314) 539-3900, extension 2378.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
Good Cause for Not Publishing an NPRM
We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. This rule is being promulgated without an NPRM because the limited affect on vessel traffic makes notice and comment unnecessary. Maintenance on the bridge will not begin until after the closure of Lock 22 on the Mississippi River. After that time, only commercial vessels left in the pool above Lock 22 will be able to transit through the bridge. Both the bridge and lock closure recur at the same time each year, and local vessel operators plan for the closures in advance. Prompt publication of this rule is also necessary to protect the public from safety hazards associated with conducting maintenance on the bridge.
Background and Purpose
On September 17, 2003, the Department of the Army, Rock Island Arsenal, requested a temporary change to the operation of the Rock Island Railroad and Highway Drawbridge across the Upper Mississippi River, Mile 482.9 at Rock Island, Illinois to allow the drawbridge to remain in the closed to navigation from 7:30 a.m., December 15, 2003, until 7:30 a.m., March 15, 2004. Department of the Army, Rock Island Arsenal, requested that the drawbridge remain closed to navigation to allow the bridge owner time for preventive maintenance that is essential to the continued safe operation of the drawbridge.
The Rock Island Railroad and Highway Drawbridge has a vertical clearance of 23.8 feet above normal pool in the closed-to-navigation position. Navigation on the waterway consists primarily of commercial tows and recreational watercraft. Presently, the draw opens on signal for passage of river traffic. Winter freezing of the Upper Mississippi River coupled with the closure of Army Corps of Engineer's Lock No. 22 (Mile 301.2 UMR) until 7:30 a.m. March 15, 2004 will reduce any significant navigation demands for the drawspan opening. The Rock Island Railroad & Highway Drawbridge, Mile 482.9, Upper Mississippi River, is located upstream from Lock 22. Performing maintenance on the bridge during the winter when the number of vessels likely to be impacted is minimal is preferred to restricting vessel traffic during the commercial navigation season.
Regulatory Evaluation
This rule is not a "significant regulatory action" under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. It is not "significant" under the regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Because vessel traffic in the area of Rock Island, Illinois will be greatly reduced by winter icing of the Upper Mississippi River and the closure of Lock 22, it is expected that this rule will have minimal economic or budgetary effects on the local community.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term "small entities" comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000. This temporary rule will have a negligible impact on vessel traffic. The primary users of the Upper Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois are commercial towboat operators. With the onset of winter conditions on the Upper Mississippi River coupled with the closure of Army Corps of Engineers' Lock No. 22 (Mile 301.2 UMR) until March 15, 2004, there will be few, if any, significant navigation demands for the drawspan opening.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offered to assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process. Any individual that qualifies or, believes he or she qualifies as a small entity and requires assistance with the provisions of this rule, may contact Mr. Roger K. Wiebusch, Bridge Administrator, Eighth Coast Guard District, Bridge Branch, at (314) 539-3900, extension 2378.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247).
Collection of Information
This rule contains no new collection-of-information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulation actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector or $100,000,000 or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not affect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children from Environmental Health Start Printed Page 63988Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and does not concern an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a "significant energy action" under that order because it is not a "significant regulatory action" under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. It has not been designated by the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211.
We have considered the environmental impact of this rule and concluded that under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, this rule is categorically excluded from further environmental documentation. Paragraph 32(e) excludes the promulgation of operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges from the environmental documentation requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Since this regulation would alter the normal operating conditions of the drawbridge, it falls within this exclusion. A "Categorical Exclusion Determination" is in the docket for inspection or copying where indicated under ADDRESSES.Start List of Subjects

"Life is much more than the life of the body; life is an infinite expanse of energy; a continuum of love in countless dimensions. You have been alive forever and you will be alive forevermore." – Marianne Williamson
It's uplifting to think about life and the God who gave you life. It's powerful to know that you will be alive forevermore, because you are apart of God's kingdom and He gives you life everlasting!
When I'm feeling low or disappointed, I try to reflect on this truth, that I am alive and well, that my life is and will be forevermore.

The US House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling on the Clinton administration to seek a permanent moratorium on international e-commerce tariffs at next month's World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle.
The resolution, introduced by Rep. Christopher Cox (a Republican from California) passed this afternoon on a 423-1 vote. An identical resolution sponsored by Sen. Ron Wyden (a Democrat from Oregon) is pending in the Senate and is expected to pass before Congress adjourns for the year.
The WTO adopted a temporary ban on international e-commerce tariffs in May 1998. The resolution passed today urges the administration to lobby the WTO to make the moratorium permanent. It also asks Clinton to lobby the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, a trade group of 29 industrialized nations, to implement a ban on "special, multiple and discriminatory taxation of electronic commerce and the Internet." Lastly, the resolution calls on Clinton to oppose a United Nations proposal establishing a "bit tax" on electronic transmission of information.
"A global free trade zone on the Internet will have immediate advantages for Americans," said Cox. He called the UN. bit-tax proposal an "obviously discriminatory levy aimed at electronic commerce."
The United Nations proposal was spurred by concerns that developing nations lack the money to jump on the e-commerce gravy train. A UN report issued in July noted that there are more computers in the United States than there are on the rest of the planet. It also estimated that, while the average American spends one month's salary to buy a computer, the average Bangladeshi must shell out eight years' worth of earnings to do so.
A permanent ban on international e-commerce tariffs enjoys wide support in this country, and the administration has already said it will seek such a ban at the WTO meeting. But opposition is likely to arise in Seattle from developing nations, which are reluctant to forgo permanently a potentially lucrative source of revenue.
Earlier this month, Deputy US Trade Representative Susan Esserman told a congressional committee that the US delegation had a better chance of winning an extension of the temporary moratorium rather than a permanent ban.
Cox and Wyden have emerged as congressional leaders on the subject of e-commerce taxation. The two legislators sponsored the Internet Tax Freedom Act, passed a year ago, that imposed a three-year ban on domestic e-commerce taxes. The bill also established a blue-ribbon commission to study the issue. That commission, which is still deliberating, is scheduled to send its recommendations to Congress next April.
During debate on the resolution today, Rep. Jim Moran (Democrat from Virginia), whose district includes many of the Washington area's high-tech firms, said that the needs of domestic e-commerce must be balanced with the needs of state and local governments and brick-and-mortar merchants.
"It's not fair to have retail establishments taxed and people selling the same products [online] not taxed," Moran said. "That's got to be resolved."

Suicide bombing, gunfight kill tens in Yemeni capital
At least 25 people were killed today in a car bomb and gun battle at Yemeni defense ministry compound in Sanaa.
The defense ministry said the attack targeted the ministry's hospital and most of the gunmen had been killed or wounded.
Six doctors , three Yemeni, a Venezuelan and two from the Philippines were among those killed, medical and security sources told AFP.
No one claimed responsibility for the attack. But the US-allied country has been grappling with a security threat by al-Qaeda-linked militants, who have repeatedly attacked government officials and installations over the past two years.
Witnesses said the explosion shook the compound in the old district of Sanaa, where the country's central bank is also located.

Speed strength, or how fast your muscles can produce force, is the key to improving your speed and power for football. Just getting stronger will not continually improve your speed and power. You must train your muscles to move faster with the correct motions.
Speed strength is a combination of starting speed, explosive speed (maximum velocity in the shortest time) and reactive speed. Proper training methods will produce the strength, power and speed you will need to succeed in football.
Here are some ways to train your muscles to move faster:
1. Sprinting with maximum effort. You have to train fast to get faster!
2. Do plyometric exercises to improve your power.
3. Do weight training exercises at full speed to improve explosive power.
4. Build muscle mass, especially bulky fast twitch muscle fibers. Exercises like squat, deadlift, pullups, rows and glute/ham drops will build large muscle groups. You need enough strength to enhance your power potential.
5. Improve your dynamic flexibility so your body can move efficiently.

Since we hadn't gone to do a complete grocery restock before this week, I picked up a few lunches from my regular haunts. I'm still on my spice kick, which I think I finally satisfied. I also did better at incorporating green vegetables.
Sichuan Pavilion Takeout: Sauteed spinach with garlic and spicy dan dan noodles.
Even though the takeout menu doesn't list my favorite Sichuan specials, you can still order them for takeout.
Axian Sandwich: Chicken, Mozzarella, Pesto panini
Now all sandwich orders come with a free order of steak fries or chips. I decided to try something different. I wish it was pressed a little more, with the ciabatta bread crunchy, but it's a hearty sandwich.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone at The Perfect Smile in Hertford. Dr Doshi and his team are extremely professional and put you at ease from your very first appointment, with particular thanks to Sophie, who has been very patient and kind and explains the whole process throughout. I'm looking forward to the end results in a couple of weeks time, but can also be assured that the team at the PS will be looking after my teeth for years to come. Read More.
