Historical Traveller Reviews of Kahramana Hotel
Excellent Hotel !!from quinny64uk
Don't feel guilty by ignoring them, they will try to make you feel that way, they WILL try and rip you off.
Someone tried to sell me a SECOND HAND copy of the news of the world for 45 egyptian pounds !!! 4 pounds 50p !!! When I bartered him down to 20 egyptian pounds he said he was offended that I would'nt give him 25 so he could have 5 for himself as the paper had supposedly cost him 20 !!! The paper had cartoon captions coming out of peoples mouths !! I had to be thankful that the crossword hadn't been done !!! Then when we were leaving the beach he wanted me to GIVE him the paper back as a present !!!! I said I'd rather throw it in the bin !!!!
Fantasticfrom milobilly
We arrived quite late at the hotel and nothing was too much trouble, they cooked a meal for my young son and offered us room service.
The rooms were clean and well presented, the bathroom was well lit with hair dryer nice big mirror and plug socket for essential hair straighteners!!!The shower was good. plenty of hot water although first impressions of the shower where that it looked like it could do with updating,Everyday there was fresh towels, plenty of loo roll. There was always boxes of tissues in the bathroom, and plenty of soap in the dispenser. The room boy was good, really kept the room tidy. They done fantastic decorations with the towels on the beds which my little boy was delighted with on our return from the beach. The hotel provides you with towels around the pool, and also if you obtain a voucher from reception you can get towels at the beach aswell. At the beach there were pleny yof lounfgers as well as around the hotel pool.
Breakfast was really nice, plenty of choice, although we had trouble getting up in the morning as the blackout curtains kept enough light out we could fool the baby that it was not morning and get a lie in!!
We had some fantastic meals out, Tam Tams for cold meze and soup at lunch time, 3 of us ate for about a fiver, evening we ate in most places, maharaja on the beach front, the japanese on the front aswell.We also ate in the Lebense opposite MacDonalds quite a few times , we ate loads of fish and salad and none of us were ill. Na'ama Bay was fantastic, compared to Luxor it was like Vegas without the tacky bits.I would recommend this place to anyone.I will definatly be having my next winter holiday here. Days are sunny not too hot, evenings are mild, you need to wrap up but it beats December in Wales any day. Lisa Darren & Zach

enjoyable stay at kahramanafrom lyndseyj
Having been to Sharm twice before, i know the area pretty well and wanted a hotel really central to Namma Bay.
The Kahramana is just that! Literally a 2 minute walk from the bars and resturants. The pool area is lovely and kept clean. It's quite relaxing around the pool until about 3.30pm when the music gets louder and the games begin, which is really good.
I only had breakfast at the hotel as there is so many resturants to choose from around Namma Bay. Breakfast was ok, plenty to choose from, but i always stick to the omlettes, which i enjoy.
The room i had was overlooking the pool area, and the air conditioning is very good. The rooms are cleaned daily and a good job is done.
Namma Bay is fantastic, as i said this was my third time and i still love it. The mexican is so nice, as is China house.
Valentino is new resturant/lounge/disco - which is really good.
Overall i had a fantastic stay and would recommend the Kahramana. I have previously stayed at the Hilton Sharm Dreams which is a 5*, and yes it is a much nicer hotel, but the Kharamana is half the price and you get what you pay for.
Superb hotel, best holiday experience ever!from martini_girl36
The staff are so friendly creating such a good mood between fellow holiday-makers therefore making it seem a home from home.
The hotel was very clean and staff are only too willing to help out with any problems you may have. Rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels left too, they even mould the towels into swans, flowers or butterflies and leave them on your bed for your arrival back!
Air-conditioning is an absolute MUST, so it was a God-send that all rooms have individually controlled A/C and to save you weight, they all have a hair-dryer in the bathroom!
They've a mini bar, which I found great for storing my after-sun and water too!
Everyday the Animation team have something on at the pool, Abi, the main guy usually starts off with a game of water polo. To my surprise, it was so much fun and I regularly played! They also have other excursions such as snorkelling on the beach - this happens around 2pm, you hire the snorkels out for about £1 and you're taken along the beach to view these fantastic fish! I had been on the snorkelling trips before this but there was really no need, you can swim out about 10-15 m's from the beach and there is live coral there and the most extraordinary fish. In fact, the fish I seen at the beach were identical to those at Tiran island! An underwater camera with a flash is a must and can be picked up for approx £11 in their Kodak shops! These cameras are re-useable AND are lots cheaper than buying in the UK!!
At night, the team have something else lined up, be it a beach party, party at the castle etc - this is aimed for younger people who like to party, or indeed those of any age who are up for partying!
Buffet breakfast - definitely a highlight, not to be missed! There is a superb selection of fruits, breads, salads, yoghurts, cereals, cakes & danishes, eggs (boiled or your own custom-made omelettes), luncheon meats, traditional egyptian foods and the best part, freshly cooked crepes with hot chocolate sauce!! These are superb!
If you have booked an excursion, you can ask Reception for a Breakfast Box to take with you, this is at no extra cost, only downside is you don't get the warm food!
The hotel is central to the strip, 1 minutes walk and you're on the strip strolling past Hard Rock Cafe, Little Buddha and the most surreal bazaar's which provide a comfy spot to smoke a Shisha! These bazaar's have almost any flavour of fruit and you can get a Shisha with or without tobacco. I, being a non-smoker myself, was able to have a puff on lemon without tobacco therefore no cravings!
Please note if you're bringing a Shisha back, you will have the charcoal taken off you at the airport, yip, they will open your case and take it off you. Not to worry, our own BBQ fast-burn charcoal does the same job!
What else? Pool bar is very cheap! They'll bring your drinks over to you at no extra cost and always with a smile on their face! The wee dotes were so thoughtful, they made me up special drinks when I got sick and it's worth noting the pool bar uses bottled water to make the ice - so you can drink/ eat it no problems!
As for getting sick, again, Reception were marvellous, phoned a doctor on my behalf and had him out within the hour! The doctor was very cheap as well, just in case you need to know!
One other thing, it's worth noting that you can book your own excursions without your travel rep. For example, I was told I couldn't swim with dolphins, the list was too long, turned out I could book it myself just 5 minutes up the road from the hotel (shop called Aquarius!) Plus it's cheaper this way too!
Finally, all I can say is this was one of the best hotel experiences of my life and I will go back and stay in the same hotel in the hopefully not too distant future!
Excellent Hotel, Brilliant locationfrom Bbird
The hotel location is ideal, short walk to the beach and a nice easy stroll around the town. The staff in the hotel are very helpful & friendly. One of the fun parts to this holiday was finding a different towel decoration on our bed every afternoon.
We had a problem with the A/c in our room, it was repaired within minutes of calling reception.
Breakfast is buffet style, plenty choice.
When we return to Sharm el Sheikh, this will be the hotel I will be booking into.

Top Local Tips for Sharm El Sheikh
Trips from Sharm El Sheikh Shop around for the best price on trips to Cairo and Luxor. You could save about GBP 40 per person by going via a local travel agency rather than your tour operator.
The best weather I think the best time in year to go to sharm el shiekh is by the end of April/first of May ..or in October /November.the weather there is amazing then.Also in winter the weather there is nice,,not so cold.
general tips. B&B would be better than All Inclusive but to be safe I would say - DON'T GO AT ALL!Take dry-wash with you to clean and disinfect your hands after handling the money. Carry £1 (egyption pounds) for tipping. Take loo roll with you if you go out anywhere as they often don't keep any in the ladies or they hand you a couple of sheets. Don't let people take your cases at the airport as they expect a tip. Haggle with the shop keepers. If you are not interested in looking at their shops - just say a firm no. Ladies - you are quite safe there but be respectful in a muslim country. Do not let your children out of your site as we heard a couple of bad things. Take some Peptobismal with you or Immobian - Pharos Revenge in not very nice and EVERYONE got it. Make sure your valuable are locked away either in your safe, or lock your suitcase.

Do the "end of the year" ratings ever apply to league play?
When you self rate you show up as a 3.0s. If you get three strikes, by winning lots of matches by 6-1, 6-2 or something* you will be DQed, and in some sections all the matches you played will be defaulted to your opponent.
In Tennislink you will then show up as a 3.5. In our local NorCal database (I don't remember where you are from...) you would show up on the team as 3.0/3.5, with red coloring over all your matches.
The end of the year ratings apply to league play right up until you improve enough to exceed your rating by (I believe) .3, then you start getting strikes, even if your rating is a computer rating. This occasionally nails the people who improve a ton. This often nails people who self rated two levels or more low, which happens, or people who self rated and played only a few matches the year before. This seldom hits people who play 10 or more matches a year, as they have accumulated a large amount of data and are more likely be rated correctly.
*Note, if you are playing against high 3.0s it doesn't even have to be that big of a spread. The strikes happen if your DNTRP goes over, I believe 3.3, three times. It is not uncommon for high 3.0s to have DNTRPs of 3.2 about half way through a season. They are, of course, bumped the next year, but they won't be DQ'd on strikes. However, in playoffs teams tend to play their better players, who are often already somewhat over their ratings by the time playoffs roll around. So it is not all that uncommon for folks to get their third strike during playoffs. In our region, if that happens, only the playoff games are defaulted.

Night Wind
Description: French superstar Catherine Deneuve stars in this downbeat drama about the fine line between love and need. Deneuve plays Hélène, an attractive but aging housewife who keeps a lover, a young artist named Paul (Xavier Beauvois). Hélène is strongly attracted to Paul, but isn't sure if he's interested in her mind, her body, or merely her checkbook. Paul, on the other hand, is attracted to Hélène, but finds her too clingy and possessive; he wants to get away, and sometimes uses heroin as a means of escape. One day, Paul meets Serge (Daniel Duval), a well-known artist Paul would like to work for some day. Paul learns Serge's story is a troubled one; he took part in the student uprisings of the May '68 General Strike, ended up in a mental hospital, and lost a wife to suicide. Le Vent de la Nuit (Night Wind) features an original score by John Cale, a founding member of the ground-breaking rock band the Velvet Underground.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I love the orange flavor with the fish. The orange zest really adds a lot of flavor.
This was really different. Wasn't sure about orange with fish but it worked. My husband needs a low sodium diet so we use a lot of Mrs. Dash. The panko topping was nice and crisp and our fish was moist still. The other reviewer must have had a bad batch of oranges. Ours had no bitterness, just a fresh sweet orange flavor. Served ours with glazed carrots and rice pilaf. Will make again.
I used cod as that's what I had. Also, navel oranges which have little juice. That said, we found the taste bitter (I was very careful NOT to get pith). Maybe if some sugar were added it would be ok but in the long run, it's just too much work.

A quick six with 'The Beast's' Larry Gilliard Jr.
By April MacIntyre Feb 4, 2009, 9:01 GMT
In The Beast, an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran (Patrick Swayze) trains a new partner (Travis Fimmel) in his hard-edged and psychologically intense style while being investigated by a secret Internal Affairs team. Charles Barker hazes his new partner as they work undercover, brilliantly manipulating situations, constantly testing him, and pushing him to delve deeper into his "roles." As he realizes he can no longer maintain normal relationships and still ...more
Actor Larry Gilliard Jr. has appeared in so many great films and notably HBO's long running award winning series, "The Wire."
Gilliard studied acting at the Juilliard School, Baltimore School for the Arts, American Academy of Dramatic Arts and The Acting Studio, Inc. and has appeared in "The Gangs of New York" and "The Machinist."
His follow up for the smallscreen post-"Wire" is the A&E critically acclaimed series "The Beast," starring alongside Travis Fimmel and Patrick Swayze.
In the next episode of 'The Beast', a deadly virus is taking the life out of a boy each second and Barker must find the person behind it for a cure.
Called "Infected", the episode will air Thursday, February 5.
"The Beast" which is starring Patrick Swayze as Barker, is an A&E drama series about a seasoned FBI agent who takes on a rookie assistant in solving crime cases.
Larry Gilliard Jr. plays Ray Beaumont in the series.
Monsters and Critics caught up with Larry Gilliard Jr. for a quick chat.
To date, what has been your favorite scene with another actor in The Beast that you feel is your best work so far on that series?
Larry Gilliard Jr.: I can't really say what my favorite scene is. I don't know.
When I'm doing a scene I just try to be truthful to what's happening in that moment. It doesn't always translate through the camera. Sometimes I think a scene went pretty well. Then I watch it and think, "What the hell was I thinking when I said that?"
Sometimes I think I could have done a scene better. Then I watch it and it's not so bad. I haven't seen all the episodes yet.
Once I have, I can look back and say, "this one or that one wasn't so bad." You gotta get back to me.
When you got the script for The Beast, what was it about your character Ray that intrigued you for this project?
Larry Gilliard Jr.: I liked that Ray was a cool-headed, mild-mannered intelligent guy.
I haven't had the opportunity in my career to play characters on the side of "Law Enforcement".
That was a draw as well.
When you worked with Patrick, was it easier when you were in character to forget the news and media storm about his health and just act, or was it always there?
Larry Gilliard Jr.: Patrick comes to set to work. I go to set to work. It's never an issue when they say, "Rolling!"
So many people were emotionally involved with the excellent HBO drama The Wire, what do you miss about that acting "family" and playing D'Angelo Barksdale?
Larry Gilliard Jr.: I miss everything about The Wire. The character. The other actors. The creators. The crew. It was a special show that went far beyond entertainment.
You have a sterling CV for your education in the arts, what medium is most enjoyable for you, stage, film or smallscreen? What gives you the biggest thrill as an actor?
Larry Gilliard Jr.: I love all the mediums, but movies are my favorite.
There is nothing like walking onto a movie set. Especially when it's an actual set that was built.
Just like when watching a movie, acting in a good one can transport you to another place.
How long were you in Chicago filming this series? Is it one of your favorite American cities or do you prefer New York?
Larry Gilliard Jr.: New York is my number 1, but Chi-town is a close second.
I like Chicago a lot. It's a great city with very cool people who had the foresight to elect Barack Obama before the rest of us even knew.

2005 MINI Cooper Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 69 reviews
The MINI Cooper lineup expanded in 2005 with the addition of two new convertible models. The MINI was available as a hardtop in both Standard and S (supercharged) trim packages, or as a convertible, also in both Standard and S versions.
The new convertible models featured a powered soft-top roof that resembled the hardtop roof when in place. It opened fully in just 15 seconds, or could be opened partially like a sunroof. When open, the roof stowed in a compartment above the trunk. The convertible top came with a heated rear glass window.
The 2005 MINI also received a minor styling update, with a new front grille, bumpers, headlights, and taillights.
The Standard MINI models (hardtop and convertible) were powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produced 115 horsepower, while the S models were equipped with a supercharged version of the same engine, producing 168 horsepower (up from 163 for the previous year).
The Standard models came with a five-speed manual transmission, while the S version received a new six-speed Getrag manual transmission with a steering-column-mounted tachometer. A continuously variable automatic transmission (also known as a CVT) was optional in the Standard models, while a six-speed automatic was optional in the S models.
The MINI Cooper was well-equipped with such standard features as air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, dual front and side airbags, an AM/FM stereo system with a CD player, remote keyless entry, and anti-lock brakes. The S versions received larger 16-inch tires (as opposed to 15-inch tires in the Standard model), as well as a hood scoop, traction control, and a sport suspension. Leather seats and a navigation system were among the options.
Drivers overwhelmingly thought the MINI Cooper was a fun car to drive, and that, along with the car's economy and cuteness factor, was the major reason cited for buying the car. The convertible, with its sunroof capability, was a big hit with drivers, though some thought the car (both hardtop and convertible versions) was a bit stiff over the road, with a ride that could be bumpy at times. Handling, stability, and reliability were other positive points cited by drivers.

New here, just recently betrayed...

|Wed, 03-07-2012 - 5:51am
Hello everyone,
Although its sad to see so many people posting on here, in a way it makes me feel better to know Im not alone in feeling the way I do.
I found out on Sunday that my husband of 5 years has been sleeping with a colleague. It floored me. I knew that we hadnt been that happy recently (stress of work, pressures of having a young child, money worries - the usual stuff) but I never expected that he would find someone else.
So now Im left wondering where we go from here. I love him, he says he loves me. I would like to save our marriage, he says he isnt sure. He is worried that if we try again, we might just end up unhappy a year down the line and have wasted our time.
Without a decision from him as to how to proceed, Im left in limbo... He said he knows we need to talk but that he also wants us to try and act normally. Normally. Really!?! How can I be anywhere near normal after what hes done? I cant seem to get my head straight. I have moments where I think "Yes, I love him and we can get through this together". Then I wobble and think "Can I ever get over this, stop thinking about them together and trust him again".
I guess what Im after is hope.
For someone to say that theyve been there, done that, felt that way but got past it, moved on and now have a happy wonderful marriage.
Or am I just kidding myself?

If he's willing to do whatever it takes to help you learn to forgive him, there's always a chance.

wanted it to "look good" when he decided to end it so
there wouldn't be an ugly battle-well he was wrong...also there were periods of what you are describing...what I realized much later was the OW was probably directing a lot of it and he wasn't 100 percent sure of his decision...your DH is probably still seeing her which is probably contributing to his indecisiveness...
there would fight when I found out he was cheating

Verse 6. Though the Lord be high. In greatness, dignity, and power, Jehovah is higher than the highest. His nature is high above the comprehension of his creatures, and his glory even exceeds the loftiest soarings of imagination.
Yet hath he respect unto the lowly. He views them with pleasure, thinks of them with care, listens to their prayers, and protects them from evil. Because they think little of themselves he thinks much of them. They reverence him, and he respects them. They are low in their own esteem, and he makes them high in his esteem.
But the proud he knoweth afar off. He does not need to come near them in order to discover their utter vanity: a glance from afar reveals to him their emptiness and offensiveness. He has no fellowship with them, but views them from a distance; he is not deceived, but knows the truth about them, despite their blustering; he has no respect unto them, but utterly abhors them. To a Cain's sacrifice, a Pharaoh's promise, a Rabshakeh's threat, and a Pharisee's prayer, the Lord has no respect. Nebuchadnezzar, when far off from God, cried, "Behold this great Babylon which I have builded"; but the Lord knew him, and sent him grazing with cattle. Proud men boast loudly of their culture and "the freedom of thought", and even dare to criticize their Maker: but he knows them from afar, and will keep them at arm's length in this life, and shut them up in hell in the next.
Verse 6. Though the LORD be high. We have here God's transcendent greatness; he is the high Lord, or Jehovah: he is "the high and lofty One, who inhabits eternity, and who dwells in the high and lofty place, to which no man can approach." Who can think or speak of his highness in a suitable manner? It dazzles the eyes of sinful mortal worms to behold "the place where his honour dwells." Oh how infinite is the distance between him and us! "There are none of the sons of the mighty that can be compared unto him"; yea, "the inhabitants of the earth are before him but as the drop in the bucket, and the small dust in the balance." He is not only "high" above men, but above angels: cherubims and seraphims are his ministering spirits. He is "high" above the heavens; for "the heaven, yea, the heaven of heavens cannot contain him"; and he "humbleth himself" when "he beholds things that are in heaven." Oh, sirs, study to entertain high and admiring thoughts and apprehensions of the glorious majesty of God; for "honour and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary." -- Ebenezer Erskine.
Verse 6. The LORD hath respect unto the lowly. God has such a respect unto the lowly, not as if this frame of soul were meritorious of any good at his hand, but because,
Verse 6. He hath respect unto the lowly. Give me the homely vessel of humility, which God shall preserve, and fill with the wine of his grace; rather than the varnished cup of pride, which he will dash in pieces, like a potter's vessel. Where humility is the corner stone, there glory shall be the top stone. --William Seeker, in "The Nonsuch Professor in his Meridian Splendour", 1660.
Verse 6. The proud he knoweth afar off. He that meets a spectacle or person which he cannot endure to look upon, avoids it, or turns from it while he is yet afar off; whereas, if the object be delightful, he draweth near and comes as close as he can. When therefore it is said, The Lord knoweth a proud man afar off, it shows his disdain of him: he will scarce touch him with a pair of tongs (as we say); he cannot abide to come near him. He knows well enough how vile he is even at the greatest distance. --Joseph Caryl.
Verse 6. The proud he knoweth afar off. By punishing them in hell. --Richard Rolle, 1340.
Verse 6. Divine inversions.

|Boots and Saddles, Tenting on the Plains, Following the Guidon
Elizabeth Bacon Custer (April 8, 1842 – April 4, 1933) was the wife of General George Armstrong Custer. She spent most of their marriage in relatively close proximity to him despite his numerous military campaigns as a commanding officer in the United States Cavalry. After his death, she became an outspoken advocate for her husband's legacy through her popular books and lectures. Largely as a result of her endless campaigning on his behalf, Custer's iconic portrayal as the gallant fallen hero amid the glory of 'Custer's Last Stand' was a canon of American history for almost a century after his death.
Elizabeth "Libbie" Bacon was born in Monroe, Michigan, in 1842, the daughter of a wealthy and influential judge. Tragedy marked much of her childhood, with her three siblings and mother all dying before Elizabeth's thirteenth year. As the only one of the judge's children that would live to adulthood, her father doted on her. Elizabeth was both beautiful and intelligent, graduating from a girls' seminary in June 1862 at the head of her class. Her father hoped she would make a good marriage with a man from her own elevated social status, and she rejected several suitors.[1]
She met her future husband in fall 1862, in the midst of the American Civil War. Custer later wrote that he fell deeply in love as of their first formal meeting. She eventually returned these feelings, but her father refused to allow Custer into the Bacon home or to permit her to meet Custer outside of it, much less get married, as Custer proposed in the final week of 1862. Custer was from a poor, undistinguished family, and the Judge hoped Libbie would have better than the life of an army wife.[2] After Custer, just prior to the Battle of Gettysburg (where he played a significant role), was promoted to Brevet Brigadier General, Judge Bacon finally relented and they were married on February 9, 1864.
Libbie and George had a loving but tumultuous relationship. Both were stubborn, opinionated, and ambitious. Their private correspondences were filled with sexually charged double entendres. Despite hardships, they were utterly devoted to each other. She followed him to every assignment, even during the latter days of the Civil War. The depth of their relationship has been the subject of considerable interest in books and film.
Unlike many, Libbie was one of the only wives to follow their husbands wherever the army took them. She refused to be left behind, and joined Custer at the expense of the comfortable lifestyle to which she'd become accustomed as the child of a judge.
"...we gave ourselves the privilege of a swift gallop... ...I never noticed the surroundings until I found we were almost in the midst of an Indian village, quite hidden under the bluff. My heart literally stood still. I watched the general furtively. He was as usual perfectly unmoved, and yet he well knew that this was the country where it was hardly considered that the Indian was overburdened with hospitality. ...
The next day the general thought I might rather not go with him than run the risk of such frights; but I well knew there was something far worse than fears for my own personal safety. It is infinitely worse to be left behind, a prey to all the horrors of imagining what may be happening to one we love. You eat your heart slowly out with such anxiety, and to endure such suspense is simply the hardest of all trials that come to the soldier's wife."[3]
— Elizabeth 'Libbie' Custer, from her first book Boots and Saddles, on her life and adventures with her husband.
After the war, he reverted from his wartime rank of general to his Regular Army rank of Lieutenant Colonel and was assigned to a series of dreary and unsatisfying assignments in Texas, Kansas, and the Dakota Territory. Life on the frontier outposts was difficult and Custer's career was plagued by problems including a court martial (brought about by his leaving the field to be with Libbie).
The 1876 campaign against the Sioux seemed like a chance for glory to George Armstrong Custer. The couple's final home together was at Fort Abraham Lincoln near what is now Bismarck, North Dakota. From there Libbie's husband led the Seventh Cavalry in pursuit of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne who refused to be confined to the reservation system.
After her husband's column was wiped out at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in June 1876, many in the press, Army, and government criticized Custer for blundering into a massacre. President Ulysses S. Grant publicly blamed Custer for the disaster. Fearing that her husband was to be made a scapegoat by history, Libbie launched a one-woman campaign to rehabilitate her husband's image. She began writing articles and making speaking engagements praising the glory of what she presented as her "martyred" husband. Her three books—Boots and Saddles (1885), Tenting on the Plains—(1887), and Following the Guidon (1890) aimed at glorifying her dead husband's memory. Though generally considered to be largely factually accurate, they were clearly slanted in Custer's favor.[citation needed]
Her efforts were successful. The image of a steely Custer leading his men against overwhelming odds only to be wiped out while defending their position to the last man became as much a part of American lore as the Alamo. Libbie remained utterly devoted to her husband and never remarried. Despite having spent her life traveling extensively throughout the United States (including winters in Florida) and the world, Elizabeth Custer never visited the valley of Little Big Horn. She was said to treasure a letter from President Theodore Roosevelt who stated that her husband was "one of my heroes."[4]
After an initial period of distress dealing with her late husband's debts,[5] Mrs. Custer spent her over half-century of widowhood in financial comfort attained as the result of her literary career and lecture tours, leaving an estate of over $100,000.[4] She died in New York City, four days before her 91st birthday, on April 4, 1933, and was buried next to her husband at West Point. A few years before her death she told a writer that her greatest disappointment was that she never had a son to bear her husband's honored name.[6]
Libbie was portrayed by actress Olivia de Havilland in the 1941 film They Died with their Boots On, by Mary Ure in the 1967 film Custer of the West, by Blythe Danner in the 1977 television movie The Court Martial of George Armstrong Custer, and by Rosanna Arquette in the 1991 television mini-series Son of the Morning Star.

DC Firearm Ownership Bill
Bill seeks to let residents keep guns for safety
By Derrill Holly
A fresh move is afoot on Capitol Hill to overturn local gun laws in the District.
"Many people live in the District during the week who are members of Congress and they would like to be able to protect themselves in their homes," said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, the Texas Republican who wrote the D.C. Personal Protection Act of 2005.
Mrs. Hutchison said if the measure passes, she will resume her longtime practice of keeping a handgun in her bedroom.
"Every woman in the District of Columbia should have the ability to protect herself in her home, particularly if she is there alone most of the time," Mrs. Hutchison said yesterday.
But one lawmaker warned the result could be dire.
"They're trying to see to it that more children get killed," said D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat.
The District's nonvoting congressional representative warned that passage of the bill would increase violent crime.
Mayor Anthony A. Williams also spoke out against the bill. "I am incensed by any proposal that is an insult to the memory of the people who have died in this city due to gun violence -- in particular the three children who have died from gun violence this year," he said.
Mrs. Hutchinson's bill would enable city residents to keep loaded handguns in their homes for personal protection. Most private handgun ownership in the District has been prohibited by law since 1976.
"Crack down on the criminal as opposed to taking away the rights of law-abiding citizens," said Sen. George Allen, Virginia Republican.
"A law-abiding citizen is not going to use a gun to settle a domestic disturbance," said Mr. Allen, who suggested city residents get gun safety training before acquiring weapons.
"It's obvious that this experiment in gun control has failed," said Sen. John Cronyn, Texas Republican.
He and other supporters cited what they said was a 200 percent increase in the homicide rate over the past 29 years as proof that criminals ignore the policy.
In 2004, the District had 198 homicides, the first time in nearly two decades that the total was under 200. It marked a major decline from the gang- and drug-related bloodshed of the 1980s and 1990s.
As of yesterday, police said there were 63 homicides this year, compared with 76 at this time in 2004.
A similar House bill was approved last year and resurrected in the current session.
D.C. officials accused proponents of the measure of pandering to the "gun lobby," on behalf of the National Rifle Association.
The Metropolitan Police Department has recovered more than 1,000 firearms, up 23 percent from this time last year.
"Revoking D.C.'s gun regulations is like pouring gasoline on smoldering coals," said Sarah Brady, chairwoman of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
Mrs. Brady's husband, former presidential press secretary James Brady, was disabled by a gunshot wound in the March 30, 1981, assassination attempt on President Reagan in the District.

As a self-taught artist, I began my professional career at a very early age. I sold my first artwork in the fourth grade to a classmate. I find myself constantly viewing other artists work and frequently refer to the masters as a means to improve my skills. My personal belief is that artists learn best by observation, practice and developing a style unique to themselves.
When I create a piece of art, I look for a particular quality or emotion of my subject that fascinates me. My art is a success to me if it slows a viewer down and they get lost in the moment. Although not every piece tells a story, when there is meaning behind a particular work that Ive created, I enjoy relating it because it adds so much more to the art.
I welcome your comments and criticism (hopefully constructive) about my work and I try to personally answer every email that I receive. Please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please stop by and visit my website at www.sandrawillard.com.
Some feedback from patrons of my art:
"The detail and realism of these small pieces of art is extraordinary. I am so glad we found Sandra and her work. "
T. Thompson
Columbia, MD
"This is why they call it "fine art" it's just wonderful."
"One of the most unbelievable pieces of art I've ever seen. Stunning!"
"Shockingly, stunning beauty!"

Although both these are possible, I've always thought that mapping rows to resources and tables to collections was the most useful. The MSDAIPP component used by MS clients (you can see its name in the User-Agent header if you sniff) takes this approach in a way: it presents an OLEDB interface to the client software developer which treats every file and collection as a row. lisaReceived on Wednesday, 18 July 2001 14:12:49 GMT

Reviewed Pear and Pomegranate Salad with Gorgonzola and Champagne Vinaigrette
Nov 15, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"A very good salad but using pomegranate seeds would be irritating to some (spitting seeds out, etc). I decided to create a reduction with honey of the pomegranate seeds (filtering the seeds from the pomegrate/honey liquid). I then dribbled the honey/pomegranite reduction over the salad. The salad was a big hit!""
