We talk a lot about sustainable fabrics around here, both as part of our Fab Fabrics series and when we're sharing tutorials. A quick scan through our archives turns up the usual suspects: hemp, organic cotton, recycled felt, jute, linen, and - of course - vintage fabrics. But every once in a while we run across a fabulous fabric that's from more of an offbeat source

This week, my friend asked me to help her decorate for a baby shower that her family is hosting. Of course, I am super excited to help create one-of-a-kind decorations that are inexpensive and eco-friendly! Instead of using new fabric, though, I went to my local thrift store and bought old pillowcases and curtains in the colors that the mom-to-be wanted (brown, teal, and pink). Here's how you can make your own upcycled fabric banner!

If you're anything like me, the New Year makes me want to reorganize and clean! Often times I go through my clothes to see what fits, what needs to be "retired," etc. If you can't refashion your wardrobe like Becky shared yesterday, there are even more options! Hang on to your old t-shirts to try out these amazing projects! For example, perhaps there are some shirts that you would love to keep for sentimental reasons, or one that has a really fun pattern, but just doesn't fit anymore-- these are the perfect shirts to recycle! The only problem you will have is deciding which one of these projects you should try first!

South Korea says rocket likely exploded after liftoff BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: June 10, 2010 Updated @ 9 a.m. EDT A half-Russian, half-Korean rocket likely exploded a few minutes after liftoff Thursday, dealing a second blow the South Korea's $400 million program to develop its own satellite launcher.
Live video from the space center showed no signs of any problems during the early moments of the launch, but officials with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute say they lost contact with the rocket 137 seconds into the flight. At that point, the booster should have been flying between 40 and 50 miles in altitude on the power of a Russian first stage built by Khrunichev, the contractor in charge of the workhorse Proton launcher. Some Korean news reports say the rocket appears to have exploded and crashed as controllers lost communications with the booster. Nearly 375,000 pounds of thrust from the Russian-made first stage RD-151 engine was supposed to propel the 108-foot-tall rocket more than 100 miles above the East China Sea in less than four minutes. The KSLV's nose cone was expected to separate 215 seconds after liftoff. Khrunichev built the kerosene-burning first stage and lended expertise in construction of the Naro launch pad and control center under a 2004 contract signed with KARI. After pulling free of the first stage, the Korean second stage was programmed to coast for nearly three minutes before firing its solid motor for a 58-second burn to inject the flight's 219-pound payload into orbit. The launch was carrying the STSAT satellite with instruments to observe Earth and a laser reflector to help engineers track the craft's orbit. The rocket was targeting an orbit ranging in altitude from 186 miles to 932 miles, according to KARI. The rocket is nicknamed the Naro 1 after its launch site. South Korea has invested more than $400 million into the Naro rocket project. The flight was delayed one day after the launch pad's fire suppresion system unexpectedly activated during a countdown Wednesday. It was the second KSLV launch from the new space center, which was built 300 miles south of Seoul in the South Jeolla province near the southwestern tip of the Korean peninsula. The Naro's first flight in August 2009 did not achieve orbit because half of its payload shroud clung to the rocket when it was supposed to fall away. The launcher tugged the extra mass into space, keeping the booster from reaching the planned orbit. Read our story on the KSLV's first flight. Engineers resolved the issue and started preparations for a second launch at Naro this spring.
The flight was also a key test of the Russian first stage, which is similar to the rocket that will power Angara boosters off launch pads beginning around 2012. Russia is building the Angara rocket family to replace the Proton and smaller vehicles in the country's arsenal. Designers plan to cluster between one and five universal first stages to customize the Angara rocket for a range of payloads. Khrunichev is the Angara's prime contractor. South Korea says it wants to build a larger rocket to haul up to 3,300 pounds to a sun-synchronous orbit popular with Earth observation satellites. Officials want to use indigenous technology to achieve the goal by 2020. North Korea's state news agency had no official response to Wednesday's launch. Before last year's launch attempt, North Korea criticized the muted international response to the South's foray into the space arena. An apparent satellite launch attempt by North Korea in April 2009 drew reprimands from the international community, which said the launch was just a disguised long-range missile test. Tensions are high on the Korean peninsula after the sinking of a South Korean navy ship that killed 46 sailors in March. A South Korean investigation concluded the North torpedoed the vessel. |

LeBron James announced earlier this year an expansion of his deal with Ohio State, where his brand is represented on the uniforms of the Buckeyes, an agreement he's had for several seasons. He added the University of Miami Hurricanes and the University of Kentucky Wildcats to his stable. Subsequently, Ohio State was mired in one of the biggest scandals involving NCAA violations in college football history, only to be topped by Miami's own problems stemming from Mr. Shapiro. Kentucky has remained unscathed.
On Saturday night, while visiting the Nike campus, LeBron James and the Miami Three took in a nice game for Nike's pet project, the University of Oregon Ducks. The Ducks, after getting their season blasted open to start by eventual No.1 LSU to begin the season, had hope of moving into position for a national title game rematch after all the other losses in college football's elite, outside of the SEC West. James was on the sideline, even posing with the duck as in this picture, courtesy of @WhitneyKBlaine on Twitter.
It's a coincidence. It is. There's absolutely zero connection between the University of Oregon and LeBron James. None. But it is a weird developing pattern. He's not cursed. But it seems like whenever he shows up, hopes and dreams die.
OK, that's a bit much. Still, another weird coincidence in along series of them.

Chehalem Pinot Gris 2007
Pinot Gris/Grigio from Willamette Valley, Oregon
Winemaker's Notes
Brilliant, light blonde, white gold color, with all things white in the aroma, from white spring flowers of daphne, gardenia, and citrus to hard Christmas candy, white peach, crisp pear, and white tea. There are spearmint, honey, and ambrosia hanging in the air and austere river rock, bright acidity, apricot, ginger, and golden plum complexity on the palate. The texture is broad and rich (and with very good acidity!), rounded in the mid-palate, showing a borderline minor sweetness that turns on the salivation response. Ends with a spicy, tangy burst at the finish. A lot to love, but with a refreshingly low alcohol. One of our best.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Another exceptional effort from Chehalem in 2007, this stainless steel-fermented wine offers crisp, clean and racy flavors of fresh cut pear, lime skin, hints of apricot and a thrilling minerality. As it rounds off a bit in midpalate, it introduces hints of honey that continue into a finish that demands another pour." -
Wine Spectator - "Light, silky and appealing for its pear and gentle spice flavors, lingering on the open-textured finish. This is special for its subtlety and the way it surprises on the finish with unexpected length." -
Wilfred Wong of Wine.com - "Crisp, fresh and lively. Medium bodied with fragrances and flavors of pear, white peach, melon, blossoms and the smallest touch of honey." - View All
Chehalem Winery
With two vineyards on either end of Chehalem Ridge and one in the Dundee Hills, Chehalem is dedicated to reflecting as purely as possible what the vineyard has produced. With minimal processing and without compromising great fruit, Chehalem wines promise good ageing but are very drinkable young. Production quantities of all Chehalem wines are limited, to assure ultimate winemaking control. View all Chehalem Wines About Willamette Valley
View a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley are are number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable Facts
The valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.About Oregon
Oregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines. -

Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Here I sit looking at white horse and striations of foam on the lake out front with it blowing 30+ and me with my boat on the hard. It SUCKS! It'd be FAST out there today for sure.... While that photo was cool, the trip with Fredia on our May cruise and that beam reach across the strait in a clear air Gale was much wilder. Sorry, no pics. The camera was inside and Fredia was too scared to go get it, that and she was getting Mal de Mar when all the way in the cabin. It was nuts! Surfing along the faces of waves on the beam with the Staysail and full Main up in 40 knots of breeze against a 3 knot ebb. We saw 11.8 along one nasty wave and made the trip from San Juan Island to Port Townsend in four hours. Over my shoulder to Starboard and it's all green with froth (on the high side), back to Port and it's a gaping hole. No breaks from the helm cause Fredia couldn't handle it and was too afraid to come off the ladder and out there with me. Damndest sail I ever had and it beat the delivery sail by a mile for adrenaline shots per minute. I kept expecting Oh Joy to trip over her keel at those speeds but she just sliced on through. It was the only time I hollered at Davey Jones since I started sailing.
Yep, bloein' out there:

Bucks County Drive-In
401 Easton Road,
2 people favorited this theater
Showing 12 comments
Crazy Bob what about the old Starlight drive in off trhe BHP or the BHP Deive in on Route 30. I lveo Sally Starr.
Some day I want to build the STARR*VUE drive-In near the Delaware River, in South Jersey, as a tribute the Sally Starr (she's 88). We've already been talking to realtors. Land is a little cheaper right now, but financing is practically non-existent!
I worked at the Drive in from about 85 to 88. Fun times, worked with some great people. Lots of fond memories. I was really mad when they closed it down. I didn't shop at stores there for a long time. I wish there was another drive-in in the area, it would be nice to be able to take my kids, like my parents did with me.
I'm thinking of bring back the Bucks County D-I for ONE night. I operate a compny the supplies inflatable movie screens. For one night ONLY on the Lowes parking lot (the spot the orig screen sat) putting up my screen w/ FM sound. What do you think? It would take some work and approal from Lowes (good luck with that) and the Twp.If you are interested in helping contact me:
Can this work, only with help. Can not do it alone. Ray
wayneb: I own an ice cream place in the valley square mall called maggie moo's…stop in and say hi!
This Philly area Drive-in parked 750 cars and was owned by Claude Schlanger as mentioned above in 1956.
Google Earth still shows the Drive-In in 1992 imagery, but it's one big graded lot in their 1998 imagery. The twin configuration was the lots side by side, the screens were in a side by side configuration, but angled slightly outward from each other. Concession looks to be between the 2 lots.
You can still see some of the car speaker polls in the grassy field there from Rt 611.
I worked at the Bucks County Drive-in from 1966-1969. It was a great place to work as a teenager. Oh the memories. It was owned by a company named Budco Quality Theaters, Claude Schlanger. I still reside in good ol' Warrington. Just think, if someone opened a drive-in in this area, they would be a millionare.
Was a great drive-in, as mentioned above the last one in the Philadelphia area. 2 screens, great food and always showed first-run movies. The place was packed on the weekends, you couldn't fit another person in that place with a shoehorn sometimes. The owner's of the drive-in were forced out when Target bought the land from the owners. I still refuse to shop at Target because of that, but the owner's did open another drive-in in the Lancaster area, sadly that one was also bought by developers and will become a strip mall.
I hate developers as much as lawyers.
This was the first D-I in the Phila. area to install IN-CAR Air conditioning. That's right "AIR". The unit sat on the cement tear that held the speaker pole. A flexible hose (like the type used for your dryer) went between the unit and the car window. The unit worked great, the problem was with the hose (damaged or stolen). rg
This was the last drive in theater left in the Phila area.

Eaton Centre
Eaton Centre is a name associated with shopping malls in Canada, originating with Eaton's, one of Canada's largest department store chains at the time that these malls were developed. Eaton's partnered with development companies throughout the 1970s and 1980s to develop downtown shopping malls in cities across Canada. Each mall contained an Eaton's store, or was in close proximity to an Eaton's store, and typically the mall itself carried the "Eaton Centre" name. These joint ventures were a significant retail development trend in Canada during that period.[1]
With the demise of the Eaton's chain in 1999, and the retiring of the Eaton's name as a retail banner in 2002, most of these malls have been renamed. As of today only the Toronto and Montreal Eaton Centres retain the Eaton name. Some malls in smaller urban areas, which were typically the least successful of all the Eaton Centre developments, have been demolished or converted to other, non-retail uses.
Current Eaton Centres[edit]
- Toronto Eaton Centre, Toronto, Ontario: Opened in 1977, it is largest of the Eaton Centres and one of Toronto's most visited tourist attraction. The mall sits on the site of the original store operated by Eaton's founder, Timothy Eaton, and the related Eaton's factories and mail order buildings.
- Montreal Eaton Centre, Montreal, Quebec: Opened in 1991 on Sainte-Catherine Street, it is Downtown Montreal's largest shopping mall. It is situated next to Eaton's former Montreal flagship store (now the Complexe Les Ailes mall). The mall owner, Ivanhoe Cambridge, announced in March 2014 that it will merge the Montreal Eaton Centre with the neighbouring Complexe Les Ailes, and the newly merged complex will be renamed after surveying shoppers on potential new names.[2]
Former Eaton Centres[edit]
- The Core Shopping Centre, Calgary, Alberta: This downtown mall was constructed in the late 1980s, and required the demolition of the historic Eaton's store (Eaton's moved into larger premises in the new mall). Two facades of the old Eaton's store (1929-1980s) were preserved, and incorporated into the new retail podium. The "Calgary Eaton Centre" name was retained until 2010 (despite Eaton's departure in 2002) when it was dropped from marketing and branding efforts and renamed The Core Shopping Centre.
- Edmonton City Centre, Edmonton, Alberta: After the demise of Eaton's, the Edmonton Eaton Centre and Edmonton Centre, two formerly independent malls, were redeveloped into one shopping complex, and The Bay, a former Eaton's competitor, moved into the former Eaton's store.
- The Bay Centre, Victoria, British Columbia: When Eaton's went bankrupt, the former Eaton's store (1990-1999) in this mall was occupied for a short time by Sears Canada's "eatons" experiment, and afterwards by a Sears store. When Sears vacated the mall, the "Victoria Eaton Centre" was renamed to reflect the mall's new department store tenant, the Bay.
- Metropolis at Metrotown, Burnaby, Metro Vancouver, British Columbia: The Eaton Centre Metrotown opened in 1989. With the departure of the Eaton's store a decade later, the Eaton Centre and the adjacent Metrotown Centre were incorporated into one megamall complex.
- Cityplace, Winnipeg, Manitoba: Formerly "Eaton Place", this shopping and office complex occupies the former Eaton's mail order warehouse, and is located behind the city's new arena, the MTS Centre (the site of the former downtown Eaton's store, now demolished).
Other Centres[edit]
Although neither has ever carried the Eaton name (both did, however, contain Eaton's stores), these two malls were developed by the Eaton's chain and its partners, and both are "Eaton Centres" in all but name.
- Pacific Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia: Constructed in phases from 1971 to 1973, this mall contained Eaton's flagship Vancouver store.
- Rideau Centre, Ottawa, Ontario: Prior to its construction in 1981–1982, Ottawa's "Rideau Centre" project had been subject to many years of planning. Prior to the mall's opening, Eaton's attempted to rename the mall the "Rideau Eaton Centre", but the chain was forced to back down due to the local outcry generated by the "eleventh hour" proposed name change. Nonetheless, Eaton's added an "E" to the mall's logo (although the letter has long since been removed).
Ontario Downtown Renewal Programme (ODRP)[edit]
Commencing in the early 1970s, Ontario's provincial government poured millions of dollars over the course of a decade into the ODRP program in order to revitalize the downtown retail areas of smaller communities throughout the Province. Typically, this involved the construction of new downtown malls to compete with growing suburban shopping opportunities.
However, there was no business case or market analysis to justify the construction of these downtown malls. Many residents noted that the enclosed facilities represented the antithesis to the one unique aspect of downtown shopping, street-related stores. Often the new downtown mall had a "vacuum cleaner" effect of attracting the stronger street boutiques away from their neighborhoods to become tenants in unstable shopping centres. The lack of free parking in the downtown area was the number one impetus for residents flocking to suburban malls which had free parking, which did not help the cause of the downtown malls whose garages charged fees, collected by the municipalities who usually financed the construction mall garages.[3]
Nonetheless, in a highly criticized business decision, Eaton's became a partner in the program, and its stores served as the anchor tenant in many of these malls. As stated in The Globe and Mail newspaper, "The history of retailing is filled with tales of merchants who were brilliantly prescient in their location choices, and others who totally misread their markets and fell flat. In the 1970s, the T. Eaton Co. became a textbook example of the latter when it built huge department stores in the increasingly empty downtowns of small Canadian cities; far from reviving the cores, the stores failed as consumers kept taking their business to suburban malls."[4]
None of these malls ever enjoyed the success of some of the Eaton Centres in larger cities, and their failure contributed to the demise of the entire Eaton's chain.
- Hamilton Eaton Centre, Hamilton: Unlike most communities subjected to ODRP projects, Eaton's had been present in Hamilton's downtown for many decades. Despite Eaton's years of business in downtown Hamilton, this Eaton's location was never successful. Now renamed "Hamilton City Centre", the majority of the mall houses independent local retailers.
- Guelph Eaton Centre, Guelph: With the departure of Eaton's, this mall was redeveloped as the Guelph Centre. The site of the Eaton's store now houses the Sleeman Centre, which is a large ice rink. The rest of the mall was converted to a galleria style pedestrian street called 'Old Quebec Street', with offices above the shops.
- Eaton Market Square, Brantford: Eventually renamed simply "Market Square", much of this mall has been converted to non-retail uses and is home to Freedom House, a church located in the lower part of Market Square
- Peterborough Square, Peterborough: The former Eaton's store now contains movie theatres.
- Sarnia Eaton Centre, Sarnia: This mall opened in 1982 but suffered from stiff competition from the existing suburban Lambton Mall. Eaton's departed in 1997, 5 years short of its intended 20 year lease, followed by the closing of the A&P supermarket in 2000. Renamed the Bayside Mall after the departure of Eaton's, much of this mall has been converted to office space.
- Kitchener Market Square, Kitchener: The former Eaton's store (moved in 1977 from former location at 276 King Street West - now Eaton's Lofts) and later Sears store has since been converted to offices, as has much of the remainder of the mall.

Amending the Constitution Isn't Easy
Tracey Kaplan, Kansas City Star (Feb. 25, 2004):
President Bush on Tuesday joined a long, proud - and mostly unsuccessful - line of Americans that stretches back 215 years: those who have tried to amend the U.S. Constitution.
Even before the notion of banning same-sex marriage became grist for constitutional debate, Congress had considered 1,186 proposed amendments to the nation's defining document. They range from a flag-burning ban in 1989 to an 1810 law that would have stripped the citizenship of anyone who kept or accepted a title of nobility from a foreign land.
But only 27 made it into the Constitution, most recently a 1992 ban on members of Congress raising their own pay between elections. And more than a third of the 27 constitutional postscripts were approved more than 213 years ago as a package - the 10-amendment Bill of Rights.
Historically, amendments that expand the rights of citizens have fared far better than those proscribe rights. The lone amendment that took away rights from citizens, the hugely unpopular prohibition of alcohol, was tossed out 14 years after it became law - and it took another amendment to do that.
Despite Bush's support, the gay-marriage amendment will have a hard time obtaining the necessary support even within the president's own party, experts say. Republicans expressed strong reservations Tuesday about the championing the amendment proposed by U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave and Sen. Wayne Allard, both Republicans from Colorado.
And even proposals with broad political support face a daunting challenge to becoming part of the Constitution.
Purposely reserving amendments only for" certain great and extraordinary occasions," the founding fathers required that any Constitutional amendment be approved by a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress and then ratified by three-fourths of the states.
Right now, the GOP has only a two-seat majority in the Senate, making it tough to get a super-majority there.
"Our biggest hurdle is here inside the beltway," said Aaron Johnson, Musgrave's chief of staff.
In contrast, another hotly debated Constitutional change, the Equal Rights Amendment sailed through Congress in 1972 on a wave of the modern feminist movement but stalled in state legislatures and ultimately failed. ...
Only one successful amendment, the 18th, which banned manufacture or use of alcohol after its ratification in 1919, but was rescinded in 1933, set limits on citizens' rights, scholars said. In contrast, limits on voting rights for blacks and women that were in the original Constitution were removed through the amendment process.
Given their own party's opposition, Republican advocates of the marriage amendment are unlikely to succeed in bringing the issue to a vote in Congress before the November election. The measure's ultimate success could hinge on the timing because politics and national events can have such a crucial effect on attitudes.
For example, giving 18-year-olds the vote had been proposed 11 times since the early 1940s without success. But after languishing for almost three decades, the proposal sailed through Congress in 1971, the midst of the Vietnam War, when 18-year-olds were eligible for an unpopular draft, and was quickly ratified as the 26th amendment the same year.

Since I have finals all of next week and still need to study, you don't need to rush with them like what you just did for sleepy. And yes, I do remember saying that I don't need them last time, it's just for the dex and my own collection of starters. Are there any that you're missing from gen 1, 2 or 4 that I can trade to you?

dc.description.abstract | The family care-giver has a pivotal role to play in the management of the chronically ill HIV/AIDS patient. The well being of the care giver is therefore crucial since impairment of their physical or mental health could impact negatively on the management of the HIV patients. Aim The purpose of this qualitative study was to find out the psychosocial impact of care-giving on the family care-giver of the chronically ill HIV/AIDS patient in home based care. Methodology In-depth, tape recorded, unstructured interviews were conducted on eleven care-givers recruited at an adult HIV clinic at United Bulawayo Hospitals, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Relevant demographic data was collected from each participant. The interviews were then transcribed before analysis of the data was done. Results The care-givers biggest challenge was meeting care costs such as food, transport and medical expenses. Certain conditions relating to the care-recipients" health and family issues such as abandonment of the ill patient and orphans added to the burden of care. Carers also had health and physical factors that impacted on their psychosocial well being. All these issues resulted in a spectrum of emotions such as helplessness, sadness, anxiety and anger but despite this the carers still reported on positive aspects of their care-giving role. Conclusion Care-giving impacted negatively on the care-givers" psychosocial well being but there were also positive aspects to the role. | en_US |

Program is 2nd option for uninsured
Plan offers comprehensive coverage
JACKSON -- An uninsured Mississippian diagnosed with cancer can now obtain health care coverage and start filing claims for treatment almost immediately.
That is how a new program offered by the health care reform bill will work, says Lanny Craft, executive director of the separate and already existing Mississippi Comprehensive Health Insurance Risk Pool Association.
The new risk pool, created by the federal health care legislation, went into effect July 1 in Mississippi. People can sign up now and start receiving benefits by Aug. 1, according to information provided by the Mississippi Department of Insurance.
To be eligible, a person must have been turned down by a private insurance company because of a pre-existing condition and must have been without any type of insurance private coverage such as an employer-sponsored program, or a government program, such as Medicaid for six months.
"The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan is designed to address these challenges by offering comprehensive coverage," said Mississippi Commissioner of Insurance Mike Chaney. "Part of the federal government's plan to reform health care in our country centers around those with pre-existing medical conditions that may have prevented them from being able to find health insurance."
The federal health care legislation will not be fully phased in until 2014. But various parts of the legislation will take effect earlier, such as the provision that allows people to sign up for the risk pool if they cannot obtain insurance to treat pre-existing conditions.
The exact cost of the plan is yet to be determined, but clients are not supposed to pay any more than healthy people currently pay. Federal law states no one is supposed to pay more than $5,950 per year for the coverage.
Many states, including Mississippi, already operate high-risk pools for people who have trouble finding insurance on the open market.
The premiums for the health insurance through the existing state pools might be more than some people can afford, according to various published reports.
And in some cases, the existing state program might not provide coverage.
Craft said in some instances the existing Mississippi high-risk pool might be a better choice for a person to obtain coverage, but in other instances the federal program would make more sense.
While the Risk Pool Association office does not administer the federal program, Craft said his office would help people determine the better option. Craft stressed that Mississippi would continue to operate its high-risk pool, which has been in existence for years.

The Washington Nationals will have to wait 17 picks before they are on the clock at No. 18 in this Thursday's draft, but just about all of the hard work has already been done. Forget just going back to last year's draft, scouting prospects for the Nationals is a process years in the making.
General manager Mike Rizzo gave some insight into that inexact science over the weekend, sharing some of the methods the Nationals and other teams around baseball employ to put together a scouting report.
As you can imagine, it's quite extensive.
"We better know everything about that player," Rizzo said. "We've seen these guys for a number of years. The area scouts are the anchor of our scouting department. They know the ins and outs of every player in their territory. We have the health histories, the psychological testing, and a myriad of other checkpoints before we consider taking a player."
Medical records and psychological testing? You bet. They even go to the players' high schools to dig deep into their past.
"The area scouts get the information any avenue that they can get it," he said. "They go through the process of getting the medicals and doing background checks. They are always investigating. They will go to high school guidance counselors to high school teachers to find out about the player. There's a lot of digging and a lot of groundwork that goes into the draft."
The area scouts the Nationals employ comb the United States for major league talent. All year long they are driving from stadium to stadium, flying from city to city, all in search for the next big thing. After all, over 1,200 baseball players get drafted each year, depending on compensatory picks. There are 40 rounds and the Nationals have to have a player in mind each time their pick comes on the board.
"There's a specific calendar," Rizzo explained. "We have all of our area scouts come in individually for face-to-face meetings. We get their take on what their area is and then they'll go out to see the conference tournaments and then the college regionals and all the high school showcases, right towards the end of the draft, to get a final health check on where the guys are."
Rizzo came up as a scout through the Chicago White Sox organization and was later in charge of scouting with the Arizona Diamondbacks. His father, Phil, was a scout for the Angels. It's in Rizzo's blood, and he still enjoys evaluating talent.
Rizzo, in fact, still goes on scouting trips. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes Rizzo will go out on the road to give a final stamp on a certain player. Usually it's with guys who are near the top of the team's draft board, ones that assistant GM and vice president of scouting operations Kris Kline has singled out.
"The parts where I actually get out to look at some high school players, some college players, is enjoyable to me. It brings back a lot of good memories for me," Rizzo said.
"We sneak out below the radar. I go out and see a specific amount of players that Kris Kline wants me to see. It's a kind of tiebreaker, if you will, on specific players. Mostly the upper echelon guys we are considering in the first couple of rounds. It's an active time."
Rizzo and the Nationals front office have put in endless amounts of time evaluating the current MLB draft class. But though it's years in the making, things obviously start ramping up as the first day nears.
Last week the Nationals began officially transitioning into draft mode. They had evaluators come in to meet with top front office executives as they form their draft board.
"We've had our crosscheckers, our scouting directors, in here this last week. We've ramped up starting to get the board together. We've been in there countless hours this past week. Hopefully by Thursday we'll have our Ts crossed and our Is dotted, and be ready to pull the trigger when our time comes."
The 2014 MLB Draft begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday with the first two rounds taking place on the first night. The Houston Astros hold the No. 1 overall selection for the third consecutive year.

My favorite thing in baseball not involving a game itself. Love following the entire draft all the way to the conclusion on Saturday.
- joemktg - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:56 PM
"We better know everything about that player," Rizzo said. "We've seen these guys for a number of years…."
If you're making a splash as a HS freshman(!), you're on the radar not only for the MLB, but the major D1 programs (we're starting to see 2017s commit to SEC schools). And down in your neck of the woods natsjack (albeit on the other coast in Ft. Myers), PerfectGame is rolling out the top HS sophs next week and top HS juniors right afterwards.
MLB and D1 start so early. Not as bad as AAU basketball, but damn close.
- Hiram Hover - Jun 3, 2014 at 11:00 AM
So any guesses as to whom the Nats will take, and/or where their greatest needs are?
Keith Law, in his mock draft, has them taking UNLV pitcher Erik Fredde, who just had Tommy John.
Baseball America says the Nats want bats and has them taking Fresno high school SS Jacob Gatewood.
- Eugene in Oregon - Jun 3, 2014 at 11:02 AM
And lest anyone think that 17th is too late in the draft to get any decent players, the 2007 draft generated the following second-round picks (which is really the third round because of the supplemental first round):
#67 – Jordan Zimmerman
#76 – Michael (now Giancarlo) Stanton
#78 – Freddie Freeman
#79 – Zach Cozart
#81 – Eric Sogard
- Doc - Jun 3, 2014 at 11:08 AM
Thanks Eugene!
As good as scouting is, it can't perfectly guess development.
- laddieblahblah - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:15 PM
Last Sunday I kept saying to myself "26th rounder." That's when the Rangers took Tanner Roark. And there he was, going pitch for pitch against Yu Darvish.
You never know.
This year's Tanner Roark appears to be Taylor Hill, who has come into his own this year, at Syracuse. He is now pitching the best baseball of his MiL career, and at the highest level of the minors, to boot:
And then there was Matt Purke, a Nats' high draft pick (2nd round, as I recall) who spent years in rehab, seemed to be all the way back this year, and is now scheduled for TJ surgery. By the time he is fully recovered, he will be out of options, and Rizzo will have to send him through waivers to keep him in the minors, or else add him to the Nats ML roster. Purke has probably run out the string without ever having pitched one full season in the minors.
You never know.
You could add Mike Trout to your list of big time players drafted lower than 17, as well. Trout lasted all the way to the 25th pick in the 1st round, and many thought that was a stretch. The Angel's scout who touted Trout played with Mike's dad, and knew the kid from way back.
You never know. But in that case, there was one guy who really did.
- natsguy - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:26 PM
Because of his issues he will be given a 4th option. Read Nats Prospects site. However, Purke is a real long shot. The draft is a crap shoot.
- Sec 3 My Sofa - Jun 3, 2014 at 11:05 AM
Wow, it's uncannily similar to "Trouble With The Curve" — if, by similar, you mean "completely different."
- Doc - Jun 3, 2014 at 11:05 AM
Scouting is one of the Nats' best operational skills. Rizzo was probably right to dislike "Moneyball" because of the superficial manner in which it treated the scouting profession.
Not sure about access to 'school psychological testing' on the part of scouts. That stuff is both proprietary and confidential—maybe they sneak in at night with a flashlight!
- NatsLady - Jun 3, 2014 at 11:07 AM
If you want to read a funny article about scouting, try this.
- Doc - Jun 3, 2014 at 11:28 AM
Thanks NL.
I watched Hayhurst on Keith Olberman's MSNBC show a few years back.
Seems that of all the professional sports,baseball produces the more writers, and most of them are, like Hayhurst, quite good.
Nats have a budding writer, and potentially good MLB pitcher, in Ryan Tatausko.
- Hiram Hover - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:59 PM
Enjoyed it! Thanks.
- Sec 3 My Sofa - Jun 3, 2014 at 11:09 AM
So for you kids at home, be nice to your English teachers–they'll be talking to the scouts.
- David Proctor - Jun 3, 2014 at 11:30 AM
The Phillies, refusing to get younger, just signed Jason Marquis. I think he's still rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
- Dave - Jun 3, 2014 at 12:28 PM
Wow. Just in the nick of time. (For the Nats.)
- NatsLady - Jun 3, 2014 at 12:57 PM
Saw that about Marquis. Also, Cliff Lee's elbow still hurts, he hasn't started his throwing program.
Here is the Injury Daze and Philly Series preview. Stats oriented, as usual.
- adcwonk - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:28 PM
Mike Piazza was drafted 62nd round in 1988, and that was sort of as a favor because his father knew LaSorda.
You never know!
- mlblogsnatsfan - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:32 PM
It's funny that Law and Walter Football each of the Nats selecting an already injured pitcher with a high ceiling.
Jeff Hoffman is my guess.
Jeff Hoffman, RHP, East Carolina
Hoffman has the Nationals written all over him. Two years ago, they gambled on Lucas Giolito, which worked out well. Like Giolito, Hoffman is a special arm talent who will slide because of injury concerns. If Hoffman didn't have the injury concerns, he'd be a top-10 lock and could be in the top four.

Any word on who gets sent down/DFA'd to make room for Zim?
- NatsLady - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:56 PM
Haven't seen anything on Twitter or the transaction lists.
- Hiram Hover - Jun 3, 2014 at 1:59 PM
Ty Mo seems like the most redundant player, no?
- jd - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:15 PM
I'll be surprised if it's not TyMo. The other option is Dobbs I guess.
- Section 222 - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:28 PM
That's my prediction too. Dobbs has hit well enough to make it tough to cut him loose. Does the fact that he originally signed a minor league deal make it possible to send him down now, or does his seniority mean that they'd have to send him through waivers?
- RPrecupjr - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:37 PM
I think it has to be Tyler. Dobbs is you lefty masher and Hairston is your righty masher. You send TyMo down to get consistent ABs until September or (please no) someone gets hurt.
- tcostant - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:52 PM
It is Moore:
- David Proctor - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:06 PM
Larry Bowa, the Phils bench coach, went on the radio and ripped the team a new one. Said that the team is playing like a bunch of minor leaguers, the starters aren't going deep enough into games, Dominic Brown has been awful apart from 5 weeks last year and that their last homestand was one of the worst he's ever seen.
- Eugene in Oregon - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:12 PM
Always an effective tactic.
- chaz11963 - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:12 PM
Wow… I wonder how Sandberg and the front office feel about him ripping the team in public like this. The Phillies look like they are bringing some baggage into DC with them.
- Doc - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:46 PM
That's just Bow being Bow.
Gotta love his candor, even if it gets him fired.
Hey he helped Desi with a few things in the field—maybe he can work with Walters???
- David Proctor - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:32 PM
Nats announce Zim is activated and will play LF tonight.
- David Proctor - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:32 PM
Moore sent down
- Eugene in Oregon - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:44 PM
Which makes sense. Greg Dobbs would seem to be safe at least until Bryce Harper returns.
- alexva6 - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:55 PM
As long as Souza keeps up with what he's doing I really can't see them bringing Moore back this time.
- Eugene in Oregon - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:45 PM
Did folks see the speculation — labelled that; not a rumor — in MLBTR about Ben Zobrist?
- Hiram Hover - Jun 3, 2014 at 2:51 PM
Zimm inserted at #5 in the lineup, everybody else moved down. Espi and Desi, the free swinging duo, stay together.

抄録: | This report describes a Web application intended for visually impaired users. Today hundreds of millions of people benefit from the Internet (or the World Wide Web), which is the greatest source of information in the world. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has set the guidelines for Web content accessibility, which allows visually impaired people to access and use Web contents. However, many of Web sites do not yet follow these guidelines. Thus, we propose a Web application system that collects desired data related to a specific topic as an agent (i.e., in place of the visually impaired person), stores the collected information in a database, and presents it to the user as per the user's choice of color and font size. We have implemented this system using a Web crawler, and a simple Web database technology that runs on an open source Wiki platform. This system is, then, applied to a career support, namely job opportunity database, for visually impaired students as a pilot project. A test tool confirmed that the system is compliant with the rules and guidelines for Web content accessibility. |

Cortijo Casablanca used to be part of an Andalusian farmhouse, and had two houses connected by an enormous courtyard which gave access to the houses and the livestock (stables, cattle shed, barn etc...). The farmhouse gradually became abandoned and inevitably most of it fell down, with only one of the houses, which was in better condition, left standing, and which today, we have endeavoured to preserve the atmosphere of days gone by as much as possible, aware of the value and merit of these old constructions.
It is situated in the Cordoba Subbética Nature Reserve , in the southeast of the province, within the municipality of Priego de Córdoba, over 600 m above sea level, surrounded by olive and pine trees, and mountains.
The land on which the farmhouse is built is located on one of the Albayate mountains slopes, surrounded by olive trees and overlooking this beautiful wide valley with its picturesque scattered houses of Las Navas.
If you decide to come and visit, you will be pleasantly surprised to find a lovely comfortable house which is full of history, with its gardens, and carefully looked after surroundings, portraying all our love and respect for nature, as well as the good taste and exquisite attention to detail of its owners.

"I am so glad I ordered these! they came out beautifully and I was able to write a message on the back of them to send to all my guests! all I have to do is put a stamp on them and put them in the mail!"
"I love these and the invitations so much. They are exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't sure what they would look like with the foul on them, but I was delighted when they came. Very elegant with just a tasteful bit of sparkle to liven things up! Also, because they match the invitations and don't have a picture, we don't have to wait for the photographer to get back the pictures before writing thank you notes (which is great because I have to get them done in summer vacation or I won't have time!)"
"I was looking for a postcard where i could upload quite a few pictures and edit the wording. I was able to speak with a customer serice rep and who was more than helpful, making the entire process easy. I received the postcards quickly and they look great. I truly appreciate the professionalism of Wedding Divas and will definitely use you again in the future."
"We ordered these thank you cards for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with them. They turned out perfect and I love the postcard option, makes things so much easier."
"This card is beautiful! It is more perfect in person than it appears on the website. The paper is very good quality card stock and the printing is crisp."

05/18/2011 Video: Vegas police adapt to YouTube eraCops learning to deal with increasing number of agitators who look to film police | |
8NewsNow.com LAS VEGAS - These days, just about everyone carries a camera. It's not just news crews that capture images for the world to see. Among the viral videos of flash mobs and giggly kids, there are thousands that feature police officers, and not always in the most attractive light. It goes without saying that videos showing routine police contacts, thousands of them everyday, don't generally end up on YouTube. Instead, it's the out-of-the-ordinary encounters that go viral. And while most of those are shot by folks who just happen upon a scene, some frequent posters go looking for law enforcement. Lily Gonzalez is one of those who look for police. In one encounter with officers, the video on ends abruptly because, Gonzalez says, she complies with the officer's orders to turn off her camera - at least that one. | |

text: Fantastic creatures dominate the action in Warner Bros. Pictures' new release "Clash of the Titans," but the creatures that dominated the set during production were the majestic black Friesian horses that took turns playing the role of Pegasus, the mythical winged horse. American Humane's Certified Animal Safety Representatives™ were on set, monitoring the use of horses, an albino snake, an eagle, camels and oxen in the film, which earned American Humane's "Monitored: Outstanding" rating and prestigious "No Animals Were Harmed"® end credit. Two Friesian horses, Boech and Gallo, alternated playing Pegasus, to give each ample time to rest. And, although these elegant and powerful stallions impressed the mortals on the set with their ability to "run like the wind," they couldn't actually fly — so their wings were added in post-production using computer-generated imagery (CGI). "The casting of Friesian horses to play Pegasus was perfect," said Jone Bouman, head of communications for American Humane's Film & Television Unit. "They are absolutely stunning animals with a commanding presence, and they really add something special to this movie. We also were impressed with the production's safe and humane handling and treatment of these horses and all the other animals on the set." This remake of the popular 1981 movie of the same name stars Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, and Sam Worthington (of "Avatar") as Perseus. Filming took place throughout Great Britain, with two American Humane Certified Animal Safety Representatives monitoring the animal action and ensuring compliance with American Humane's "Guidelines for the Safe Use of Animals in Filmed Media." Established in 1940, American Humane's Film & Television Unit is the leading authority on the safe use of animals in film. American Humane is the only animal welfare organization in the world with on-set jurisdiction from the Screen Actors Guild to supervise the use of animals. American Humane also is the only organization with the authority to issue the renowned "No Animals Were Harmed" end-credit disclaimer. For more information about American Humane and its Film & Television Unit, please visitwww.americanhumane.org/film. To browse a listing of movies awarded American Humane's "No Animals Were Harmed" end-credit disclaimer, as well as films that received other ratings, and for an explanation of how the animal action was achieved, visit http://www.americanhumane.org/protecting-animals/programs/no-animals-were-harmed/recently-released-movies.html. About American Humane Association Since 1877, the historic American Humane Association has been at the forefront of every major advancement in protecting children, pets and farm animals from cruelty and abuse and neglect. Today we're also leading the way in understanding human-animal interaction and its role in society.

"These cards are perfect, printed on quality paper and delivered with quality envelopes. We've gotten many compliments on them. The layout for the design is great, I recommend not changing much and just inserting your picture and names!"
"We are having a destination beach wedding, that will be both intimate and relaxed. We wanted a card that represented our style more than the location, but we chose the blue and gold design to also play on the beach theme. We purchased the Save the Date, Invitation, RSVP, and Thank you cards in this style all at once. It was all very easy to do online and was returned to us quickly for review prior to print. We love them all, but there is a difference between the gold color - what I would call a true yellow gold color - on the Thank You card and the "gold" - what I would call more of a sand color on all the other cards. This is fine for our wedding in that it lends itself to a beach theme, and I doubt anyone will be holding all of the cards up to each other to match color (other than me). If your looking for the color to match across the board, this may not be for you. Overall we couldn't be happier with the total product and experience."
"Very pretty thank-you notes on textured paper give the card a watercolor feel. I ordered these to use as thank-you notes for shower gifts and I'm very pleased with them - would definitely reorder!"
"I completely loved my wedding thank you notes i recently ordered from the site. Would definitely refer and reorder of the need comes up!"
"Lots of compliments on this beautiful card! Very easy to add our favorite photos and the quality of the printing was amazing! Nice thick paper and perfect amount of space to write a heartfelt thank you."

Category:Crumble recipes
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
(Redirected from Cookbook:Crumble)
Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Dessert
A crumble is a type fruit dessert which usually features a layer of sweetened fruit covered by a loose, often oat-based, dough, which is "crumbled" on to the fruit. Unlike the layers in a cobbler, the layers in a crumble are quite shallow. Once baked, the topping blends into the top of the fruit layer. Since there is generally not enough dough to completely cover the fruit, the baked result is a cracked topping with the color of the fruit seeping through.

On the Projectivity of module coalgebras
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information Abstract: In this paper, we derive some criteria for the projectivity of a module coalgebra over a finite dimensional Hopf algebra. In particular, we show that any Hopf algebra over a field of characteristic zero is faithfully flat over its group-like subHopf algebra. Finally, we prove that if is a finite dimensional subHopf algebra of a Hopf algebra , then is normal in if and only if . This improves a result by S. Montgomery (1993).

Philippa of England
Philippa of England | |
Philippa as imagined and painted by Swedish artist Reinhold Callmander in the 1890s[1] on a window above her grave at Vadstena
Queen consort of Denmark, Sweden and Norway |
Tenure | 1406–1430 |
Spouse | Eric, King of Denmark, Sweden and Norway |
House | House of Lancaster |
Father | Henry IV, King of England |
Mother | Mary de Bohun |
Born | Peterborough Castle, Northamptonshire |
4 June 1394
Died | 5 January 1430 | (aged 35)
Burial | Cloister Church at Vadstena, Linköping |
Philippa of England (4 June 1394 – 5 January 1430), also known as Philippa of Lancaster, was Queen of Denmark, Sweden and Norway from 1406 to 1430. She was the consort to Eric of Pomerania, who ruled the three kingdoms. Queen Philippa served as de facto regent of Sweden in 1420 and regent of Denmark and Norway from 1423 to 1425.[2]
She was the daughter of King Henry IV of England by his first wife Mary de Bohun and the younger sister of King Henry V.
Early life and marriage[edit]
Philippa was born to Henry Bolingbroke (later King Henry IV of England) and his wife Mary de Bohun, at Peterborough Castle, Peterborough. In 1401, King Henry suggested to Queen Margaret I of Denmark that an alliance be formed between England and the Kalmar Union, with a marriage between the heir to the English throne and Catherine, sister to the heir of the Nordic thrones. Margaret could not agree to the English conditions for this marriage; instead, Philippa was engaged to Eric, and formally proclaimed queen in 1405.
She was married on 26 October 1406 to Eric of Pomerania in Lund Cathedral. Philippa was actually the first documented princess in history to wear a white wedding dress during a royal wedding ceremony: she wore a tunic with a cloak in white silk bordered with grey squirrel and ermine.[3] Philippa was given large parts of Sweden as her dower. During the first years of their marriage the couple lived in Kalmar in Sweden, and Philippa was to spend much of her queenhood living in Sweden. It had been decided that she would be granted personal fiefs in only one of the three kingdoms, and that was to be Sweden. Her head lady-in-waiting was the Swedish noblewoman Lady Katarina Knutsdotter, granddaughter of Saint Bridget through Märta Ulfsdotter, former lady-in-waiting of Queen Margaret I of Denmark herself. She was a benefactor of Vadstena Abbey, where she was a frequent guest.
During King Eric's periods of absence abroad, Philippa was effectively Regent. In Sweden, where she spent a lot of her time, she appears to have been de facto ruler even when the King was in residence. Eric evidently had great trust in Philippa. Both ancient and modern authors give a favourable account of her rule. It is even said that in certain matters she was more efficient than her husband. However, scholars have largely accepted this judgment of the Queen without going into detail.[4]
In 1422, Philippa presided over the Swedish council in order to solve a dispute between Swedish noble factions. During her husband's stay abroad from 1423 to 1425, she was Regent of the three Kalmar Union kingdoms. Among other acts, she made a treaty with some members of the Hansa states within the North-German Confederation concerning the validity of the coin-system. In 1426, she gathered support in Sweden for the war against Holstein; in the same year, she acquired Swedish support for the protection of Copenhagen against the Hanseatic League. In 1428, Philippa successfully organized the defence of Copenhagen against the Hanseatic League, a heroic feat later recounted by Hans Christian Andersen in Godfather's Picture Book (1868).[5] At the time of her death in 1430, she was in Sweden on a diplomatic mission. She is described as one of few royals of the Kalmar Union who was actually popular outside Denmark. She was loved by the people of Copenhagen for rallying the citizens to fight the Hanseatic fleet in Copenhagen Harbor. She also did many other deeds for the citizens of Copenhagen by helping the poor and providing for widows and orphans.[citation needed]
The queen bore a stillborn boy in 1429. She died on 5 January 1430 and was buried in the Cloister Church at Vadstena, close to Linköping in Östergötland, Sweden. After her death Eric replaced her with Cecilia.

I am totally non-crafty and really need some help here. I am the room mom for DS's 2nd grade class. The teacher has announced she is retiring at the end of the school year. There is a reception in less than a month for her and I really want to have the kids make something to give her. I was thinking something like an apron or maybe a sweatshirt where they would all write their names in fabric paint? Or maybe even get a canvas and have them put their handprints and names?? Would love to have some ideas on something that would be a nice keepsake for her. Thanks

Honestly, I would not make her a craft. I would have all of the kids write her a letter about what they learned or liked this year possibly with illustrations. I would then bind it into a book for her. Somethig crafty is likely to be discarded. Teachers get so much of that kind of thing.
Thanks much! I think a scrap book / book of letters from the kids is a great idea. Probably be a lot more meaningful than a sweatshirt or a tote bag.

Bridges of Pittsburgh
The Bridges of Pittsburgh play an important role in the city's transportation system. Without bridges, the Pittsburgh region would be a series of fragmented valleys, hillsides, river plains, and isolated communities.[1]
A 2006 study[2] determined that Pittsburgh has 446 bridges, and with its proximity to three major rivers and countless hills and ravines, Pittsburgh is known as "The City of Bridges". The city of Pittsburgh and the Allegheny County are the largest owners of great bridges in the country, in proper proportion to their size, with the possible exception of the City of New York, which is built on an island and surrounded by large bodies of water.[citation needed]
According to a 2011 study by Transportation for America, 30 of Pittsburgh's bridges were deficient, the highest in the nation.[3][4]
Pittsburgh's first river bridges, made of wood and long since replaced, opened in 1818 at Smithfield Street and 1819 at Sixth Street (then St. Clair Street). The city's oldest in-service bridge is the current Smithfield Street Bridge, which opened in 1883; it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976.[5] Pittsburgh waged a massive road- and bridge-building campaign from 1924 to 1940; most of Pittsburgh's oldest major bridges date from this period. The coming of the Interstate Highway System triggered more construction in the second half of the twentieth century, as vehicular speed and throughput requirements increased. The result of more than 100 years of bridge building is a collection of most of the major types of bridge (suspension, cantilever, arch, etc.), mostly built from locally-produced steel, including about forty river spans.
Many of the bridges in the Downtown area are colored Aztec Gold,[6] either constructed as such or painted afterward, to match the city's official colors of black and gold. A few old and out-of-service bridges, such as the Hot Metal Bridge (which stood dormant until reopening as a passenger bridge in the year 2000), are exceptions to this rule.
Major bridges[edit]
This table lists all bridges crossing the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers in the City of Pittsburgh limits.
Notable bridges[edit]
- The Fort Pitt Bridge is a steel bowstring arch bridge that spans the Monongahela River near its confluence with the Allegheny River at the point. It carries Interstate 376 between the Fort Pitt Tunnel and Point State Park.
- The Fort Duquesne Bridge is a steel tied arch bridge that spans the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It carries Pennsylvania Route 65 / Interstate 279 (North Shore Expressway), which runs through Downtown Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle towards Interstate 79.
- The West End Bridge is a large steel arch bridge which crosses the Ohio River. It is the first bridge on the Ohio River heading toward the Mississippi River. The bridge carries U.S. Route 19.
- The Liberty Bridge crosses over the Monongahela River, intersecting Interstate 579 at its southern terminus.
- The Three Sisters are three parallel, nearly identical self-anchored suspension bridges that cross the Allegheny River at 6th, 7th, and 9th streets. The sisters have been recently renamed "The Three Siblings" (or Brobrosis), for prominent Pittsburgh residents: Roberto Clemente Bridge, Andy Warhol Bridge, and Rachel Carson Bridge.
- The Smithfield Street Bridge is a lenticular truss bridge crossing the Monongahela River. Its two main lenticular spans make the bridge very recognizable. It is a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, according to a plaque on the bridge.
- The George Westinghouse Bridge crosses 240 feet above Turtle Creek Valley in East Pittsburgh.
