The last Pharaoh of Egypt, daughter of Ptolemy XII, Cleopatra VII became Pharaoh when she was about 17 years old. She had no son at the time; she married a much younger brother.
Cleopatra tried to keep Egypt's independence during a time of Roman domination by allying herself romantically, matrimonially, and militarily with Roman commanders Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony. She had a son, Caesarion, supposed to be fathered by Julius Caesar, for whom she was regent. When she died, Egypt's rule passed into the hands of Rome.
The Ptolemies were descendents of a Macedonian general of Alexander's army. During the Ptolemaic dynasty, several other women named Cleopatra and Berenice served as regents.

Tausret (Twosret, Tausert, Tawosret)Nineteenth Dynasty (~1194-1186 BCE)
Tausret was chief wife of Seti II. When Seti II died, Tausret served as regent for his son, Siptah (Rameses-Siptah, renamed at some point Menenptah Siptah). Siptah was likely the son of Seti II and a minor wife, so Tausret was his stepmother. There is some indication that Siptal may have had some disability. He died about six years into his reign, and Tausret seems to have served as Pharaoh for two to four years, using kingly titles for herself. The founder of Dynasty 20 took over her tomb, and her successors replaced her name and image with his own. It was a time of civil unrest and there are few clear records, so the story isn't completely clear. A mummy at the Cairo museum is said to be hers.
The claim that Nefertiti ruled after the death of her husband, Akhenaton (Amenhotep IV), is based on the theory that she assumed the name Smenkhkare after his death. Even if she did not rule, during her husband's reign she was accorded more honor than usual for a Great Wife, and is sometimes depicted as a co-equal officiant at ceremonies.
Hatshepsut (Maatkare)
Widow of Thutmosis II, she ruled first as regent for his minor son and heir, and then as Pharaoh, a female Horus. Her titles include "King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Maatkare, Daughter of Re."
She is depicted in a fake beard and with the objects that a Pharaoh is usually depicted with, and in male attire, after a few years of ruling in female form. She reported herself heading up a military campaign and going on a journey to the Land of Punt. She disappears suddenly from history, and her son apparently ordered the destruction of images of Hatshepsut and mentions of her rule.
Ahmose-NefertariEighteenth Dynasty
Wife and sister of the dynasty's founder, Ahmose I, and mother of the second king, Amenhotep I, Ahmose-Nefertari served as regent for her son. Her daughter, Ahmose-Meritamon, was the wife of Amenhotep I.
AshotepEighteenth Dynasty
Mother of the founder of the Eighteenth Dynasty and New Kingdom, Ahmose I, himself the pharaoh who defeated the Hyksos (foreign rulers of Egypt). Ahmose I credited her in an inscription with holding the nation together during his minority, when she seems to have been regent for her son.
Sobeknefru or Neferusobek or Nefrusobek or Sebek-Nefru (Meryetre)Twelfth Dynasty (~1787-1783 BCE)
She ruled Egypt for a few years. She was the daughter of Amenemhet III and half-sister of Amenemhet IV and, perhaps, also his wife. She claimed to have been co-regent with her father. The dynasty ends with her reign, as she apparently had no son. Titles found with her image include Female Horus, King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Daughter of Re.
There are some now-headless statues of her that remain, and other artifacts and mentions in the archaeological record. She was depicted in female clothing but wearing male objects related to kingship, and was sometimes referred to in terms using the male gender, perhaps to reinforce her role as Pharaoh.
Neithhikret or Nitocris or Neith-Iquerti or NitokertySixth Dynasty (~2148-44 BCE)
She is known only through a story in Herodotus and several brief mentions of her name elsewhere, but there is no other historical or archaeological evidence for her existence, much less ruler-ship. She is mentioned on one king list (Turin) and not another (Abydos). If she existed, she lived at the end of the dynasty, may have been married to a husband who was not royal and may not even have been a king, and probably had no male offspring.
She may have been the daughter of Pepi II. In Herodotus, she is said to have succeeded her brother Metesouphis II upon his death, and then to have avenged his death by drowning his murderers and committing suicide.
Ankhnesmeryre II or Ankhesenpepe II or Ankh-Meri-RaSixth Dynasty
She may have served as regent for her son, Pepi II, who was about six when he assumed the throne when Pepi I (her husband, his father) died.
Wife of Djedkare-IzeziFifth Dynasty
In the 1950s, a mortuary temple was excavated, though the excavation remains unpublished. Reportedly, royal insignia were found related to the wife of Djedkare-Izezi. She may have had no son and ruled as king. But the temple was destroyed so completely that the details are not clear, and her name cannot even be identified.

By JOHN KLINE
Is approval by the city needed in order to host professional fireworks displays after the allotted dates and times laid out in the city's fireworks ordinance? That's a question the Goshen Board of Works and Safety encountered during its weekly meeting Monday afternoon.
The question arose with a request by Goshen Moose Lodge 836 member Mark Benton for permission to have a fireworks display on Aug. 31 following a planned car show.
"We are having a car show that day," Benton said, "and would like to end our event with fireworks."
Part of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Goshen Fire Department Public Education Division, Benton explained. The lodge has already hired RKM Fireworks out of Edwardsburg, Mich., which is licensed to set of Class B fireworks. The permit application has been submitted on a state level, Benton said.
Benton said he made the request to the Board of Works because he was unsure whether professional fireworks displays were covered in the city's fireworks ordinance and was advised by Goshen Fire Chief Dan Sink to seek clarification from the board.
According to the current ordinance, Goshen allows the use of consumer fireworks from June 29 to July 9. During those days, fireworks are permitted from 5 p.m. until two hours after sunset, except on July 4, when they are permitted from 10 a.m. until midnight. Use of consumer fireworks within the city is prohibited at any other time during the year except between the hours of 10 a.m. Dec. 31 and 1 a.m. Jan. 1 for the New Year's holiday.
However, the ordinance does allow exceptions provided that approval is first granted by the Board of Public Works and Safety, though the ordinance states that such exceptions are only allowed if the fireworks displays take place on real estate owned by a government entity.
While the ordinance clearly regulates consumer fireworks, city attorney Larry Barkes said he was unsure whether the ordinance applies to professional fireworks shows such as the one proposed by the Moose Lodge.
"As I recall, our ordinance does not affect professional fireworks," Barkes said. "I don't think the whole ordinance applies to professional fireworks. I think the state statute makes that exception."
Due to the unclear nature of the issue and the potential impact to residents, Mayor Allan Kauffman suggested that the request be tabled for a week in order to allow the city's legal department to determine if Board of Works approval is required for professional fireworks displays.
"I still think it would be good to wait a week and see what kind of input we get from other people and the public," Kauffman said, "because this is a surprise to the public who may not want bombs blowing off in the air."
The board agreed, and the request was tabled until the board's upcoming Aug. 12 meeting.
Other business:
In other business, the board:
• Approved the promotion of Goshen police officer Lloyd C. Waddell to the rank of Sergeant retroactive to Friday, Aug. 2;
• Set the hours for trick-or-treating for 2013 to be 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 31.
• Awarded a contract for the demolition of 1215 Hickory Street, Goshen, to Jerry Reed Excavating LLC at a cost of $5,995. All work on the project is to be completed by Nov. 30.
• Approved the closure of the north bound lanes of Ind. 15 and U.S. 33 (Main Street) from Madison Street to Lincoln Avenue for the reconstruction of Jefferson Street from Main Street to Fifth Street. No timelimit was given for when the closures would be lifted.
• Approved a contract with Borntrager Enterprises Inc. to replace the roofs on two city lift stations located at 1711 S. 12th St. and 1101 W. Lincoln Ave. for the city's Waste Water Treatment Plant. Total cost for the contract came to $3,475.
• Approved a contract with Right Stuff Software Corp. to replace three archaic recordkeeping processes at the city's police department with a new employee timekeeping and scheduling software and service package. Total cost for the contract came to $7,500 for the software installation and service plus a monthly licensing fee of $600 for a term of three years.

The above requirements/rates are unchanged as of this date and the credit union continues to be 5-star rated.
Highlights re membership:
As an alternative to the usual residence/employment qualifications, the following individuals are eligible for membership (see
who can join
Military personnel - active and retired
Smart Money community members (the educational community is run by the credit union and can be joined online for a lifetime membership fee of $5, which is fully refunded when you become a member). There is an online app for the Smart Money community here.
The online membership application immediately asks that you confirm you meet one of the membership requirements. However, based on a conversation with a helpful CSR, there are no zip-code or other restrictions later on so
it looks like the ability to join via the Smart Money community regardless of actual place of residence may qualify this as a nationally-available RCA. However, the $1,000 minimum and the $5000 minimum loan balance may limit interest in the account,
since one can do better than 1.5% on a $15k cap elsewhere.
The application process is as follows:
Complete Smart Money enrollment if that is how you will qualify.
Complete the online application. When finished, the application is automatically forwarded to New Accounts and a representative will build the account based on the information provided.
Once the account is built,
account agreements and disclosures
will need to be signed, and this can happen through Email or snail mail. A new accounts rep will contact you to discuss this.
account funding
: will be discussed at same time as a) above. You can either mail a check (min $1,010: $1,000 for the Max Reward account minimum balance + $10 minimum savings account balance) or provide routing and account number info and they can arrange for an electronic withdrawal. Please note that the $1000 is not a minimum average daily balance. It is a minimum balance, period, and to qualify for the high rate, the account must be at least $1000 at the end of each day.
verification of identity
: the credit union will need a copy of your driver's license and your Social Security card. This can be transmitted through Scan-and-Email or snail mail.
If the RCA does not interest you, you may wish to consider the credit union's CDs
(see deposit rates here). The credit union is currently paying 1.9%APY on a 60-month CD, for example (available to regular CDs and IRA accounts). Members 60 years old or better receive an additional 0.10% increase on all new share certificates. The fine print states that special promotional rates may not be combined with other offers.
There is a $500 minimum deposit for all certificates, and
share certificates may be added to in $100 increments up to an additional $5,000 during the term of the certificate.
The interest is compounded quarterly.
Early withdrawal of certificates of 12 months and under will forfeit the interest that occurs in the last 90 days.
Early withdrawal of certificates greater than 12 months will forfeit the interest that occurs in the last 180 days.

Plastics are high qualityRead All Reviews
Justin in CA
These are my second favorite hand guards, behind cyrca, but the enduro engineering guards are the best value. These are as strong as cyrca guards and stronger than acerbis, the plastic is durable, and they protect levers very well. Functionally these are as good as anything on the market. The contour and length of cyrca guards allows you more flexibility in how you position the guards, which is why they are my favorite, but for the price these cannot be beat.Read All Reviews

Great peace of mind when riding through thick brush or track. Would definitely recommend getting the aluminum wrap around bars if you ride a lot of trails and high five trees commonly, the moto roost deflectors have been bent pretty badly but they bend right back. Keep an eye on the hinge coming loose too. Other than that they look and work great!Read All Reviews

The high-energy, enthusiasm and excitement Roland Walker brings to the spin classes he leads through out the East End may not be what you'd expect from a 29-year veteran New York State Park police officer.
He's much less drill sergeant and more motivating coach. An aerobics turned spin instructor, Walker bring his A-game to every class, pushing riders with a constant flow of encouragement, which often includes high-pitched sounds and brief dancing, not to mention an array of untraditional music he mixes himself like Barry White's "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby" and Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" throughout the 45-minutes classes.
On the job, patrolling Montauk and Wildwood parks, he's more serious and stern, but in the spin studio, his true personality shines. "I'm a different person there. I know how to separate the two," he said.
Walker, a Riverhead resident who grew up in Bridgehampton, has ties across the East End, currently teaching at four places; in East Quogue, where he has been for 17 years, in Amagansett, in Mattituck, and High Gear in Westhampton.
His road to becoming a fitness instructor had a lot to do with having become a police officer. "When I got on the job, I blew up during the first two years," he said. By the late 1980s, he weighed as much as 240 pounds. He shed 20 pounds or so, but at 6'1", he wanted to make a real change and change his body.
He joined the Riverhead Fitness Center and tried step classes, which he continued at the East Quogue gym that later became Sportime. He took up aerobics too, and instructors soon encouraged him to teach. "I had so much energy. Anytime I took a class, I brought the class to another energy level," he said.
But, Walker said he wasn't totally convinced, but knowing he wouldn't have to pay for a membership if he did, he decided to try it. In 1995, he went for his first certification.
As he started to teach, word got out that his classes were energetic and well-attended. He ended up teaching at the American Fitness Factory (now the Sag Harbor Gym), the Omni (now the Southampton Gym) and Summer Kicks in East Hampton.
"In 1998, spinning came to Long Island. A year later, Sportime bought spin bikes," he said. A fellow instructor encouraged him to get certified to teach spin, which he did in 2001. It took some time for him to gain a following. "People knew me for aerobics and step class. They didn't know me for spinning."
He eventually formulated a type of class that he feels works best — a spin, cycle, ride program. He said its less restrictive.
"My system works. I'm motivating and we're having fun. I like making people work hard and not even realize their working hard," he said, which he said is the greatest compliment.
In 2009, his clients were so upset that he had to take 10 days off from teaching to work as an officer at the US Open, that he promised he'd make it up to them with a "spin revival" for five straight days at 6 a.m. His clients loved it so much, he did it again the following two years with it growing each time.
This past June, he teamed up with one of his favorite clients, Michelle Papajohn, of East Quogue, to use the "spin revival" to raise money for brain cancer research, as Papajohn suffers from a benign tumor in her brain. They raised over $4,000.
Many police officers work side-jobs, but this married father of one said being a fitness class instructor while off-duty isn't about making extra money, but about his passion for it. "You've got to love it," he said. He earns between $45 and $150 per class.
Fellow officers are used to the fact that Walker is a spin instructor, though they are still surprised by his choice of music. Even his partner is surprised. "How do you play Barry White?"
"I'm the only one who could make that work," Walker said.

Chris Isaak - Free Downloads
The accurately titled Beyond the Sun, Chris Isaak's Vanguard Records debut is a self-described labor of love. Since he fell in love with his parents' 45s as a child in Stockton, California, this passionate writer/artist has been obsessed with the glory days of Memphis' Sun Studio and the visionary artists who got their starts there—including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis—all of them discovered and nurtured by Sam Phillips. Now, at long last, Isaak magically recaptures the transformative brilliance of the classic sides cut by these greats at Sun with Phillips during the mid-'50s, while also getting down to the nitty-gritty of his own deeply rooted musical identity.
To kick off this release we are offering a Free track from the upcoming release. Just enter in your email on the left to download "Live It Up".
Take a listen to a couple of other tracks on the record. Click on the play button to the left.

An East Texas community is doing everything they can to support a local police officer who spent the last couple of months battling two types of leukemia.
Amanda Solis is a K9 officer for Daingerfield Police, and was diagnosed with AMC and ALL leukemia in August.
Solis's community has taken bold action to show their support, including a big surprise for her ride home from the hospital.
"My whole community has supported me; it has been unbelievable," said Solis. It was an escort ride home from officers throughout Morris County that sent her over the edge. "As we got close to Omaha, I saw the lights in the distance start to come on, and I thought I recognized my sister's car sitting on the side," said Solis. Several cars pulled off to the shoulder, all paying their respects.
It was her sister, who's a sergeant for Lone Star police, that led the pack to bring Solis home."They all started pulling out and I lost it," said Solis. "I started crying. It was absolutely awesome."Thursday, Solis reunited with a co-worker whom she hasn't seen since she went into the hospital a month ago. He played a major role in the bold idea to shave their heads for Solis. It was something both men and women participated in."It actually started in my front yard, and it grew from there," said Tobias Frazier, an officer with Daingerfield Police. "Officers started to where they were auctioning off their hair for her.""When I very first started seeing it I bawled. I'm not even going to lie about it," said Solis. "I bawled like a baby because I just didn't expect it."The community started selling t-shirts that say, "Losing is not an option." They have also had benefit events for Solis. Together, her community has raised $12,000 for her. "It's an honor for us, for me, for everyone that works here to come together, and do this small gesture for Amanda. It's nothing compared to what she's fighting," said Frazier. "These people are your family; they are your brothers and sisters in blue," said Solis. "I refuse to leave right now. I'm just not ready."
Solis says she has a chromosome that could cause her cancer to come back if it splits, and she will need to get a bone marrow transplant.
