I was so impressed with my purchases here at FragranceX. The notes and scents of my past purchases were described exactly based on my research reviews & perfumes information. I do blind buys & all my purchases here were success & authentic.
But this streak was cut when my order Gendarme from this site arrived. The box was not sealed. The bottom & all areas in the bottle does not have any serial number or any writing. The burst of spray is too short just like the fake perfumes in the market.
The scent smells too light, watery and not even enough oil mark on my skin unlike all my authentic perfumes. The scent lasts two hours on my skin then it's gone.
It is truly a sad experience to get hold of a fake Gendarme from this store where I was hoping for consistent quality control & genuine perfumes selling. This is my first bad item received from online shopping. I don't know if this store can resolve this matter.

Comments about Gendarme By Gendarme:
I used this fragrance years ago, but living in the UK it's not one that I saw regularly. what a bonus to find it on FragranceX, but then again why am I surprised? Fresh smell, classic style, fits my own skin scent well, but it's not so long lasting and the top notes do fade quickly. Having said that, it still reminds me of good times.

Forensic Science Minor
As a forensic science minor at Truman, you'll learn how to gather and analyze information about the past using the scientific method.
Whether you're interested in law enforcement, archaeology, history, biology, geology, or astronomy, learning to scientifically analyze data will boost your skill set no matter what career you plan to pursue.
Choose Your Own Adventure
Pursue one of two paths in the forensic science minor:
- Forensic DNA lab-oriented: When you are finished, you'll have completed the Federal Bureau of Investigation coursework guidelines for forensic DNA lab technician positions.
- Forensic chemistry lab-oriented: Take this path if you're interested in a career in forensic analytical chemistry immediately after graduation.
Check out Truman's course catalog for detailed info about this minor.
We Help You Succeed
At Truman, you benefit from the small classes and personal attention only available at a small undergraduate institution. You'll enjoy research opportunities that are more difficult to come by at a larger institution. Your classes are taught by professors - not graduate students - and our 16:1 faculty-to-student ratio insures you'll receive the personal attention you need when you need it.
Discover New Connections
At Truman, we know that all fields of study are connected in complicated and fascinating ways. Forensic Science is one of fifteen interdisciplinary studies programs available for you to explore the new possibilities that open up when two or more fields overlap. Our interdisciplinary studies major even allows you to custom-design your own field of study.
Please contact the committee chair with any questions.

When Tabata first came to us they weren't ready for a complete redesign of their website.
They had just been acquired by UNIVERSAL Studios and were stuck in a bad relationship with their previous agency. They needed a quick interim solution before they embarked on a branding redesign and a new UX experience.Interaction Design, UI/UX, Web Design2015
I was approached by Mabledon Group, a big international company that own Mabledon House and use it as their centre of business. The client had decided to develop the estate in to luxury houses and needed a branding that represented this new proyect and that would appeal to industrialists, bankers, businessmen and political contacts.
The House itself has a very interesting history. Mabledon - the house was designed and built by James Burton in 1805. His son Decimus Burton added to the property after he had trained as an archetect and went to become a very influencial London architect and eventually was knighted.
The client had a pretty clear idea on having an M as the symbol and since the house has such great history I decided to use one of the many original hand painted letters as the branding M.
The brief for this project was to have a luxury high end clean and simple look.Art Direction, Branding, Graphic Design2015

In this Project I worked on developing the concept and User Journey.
We came up with a game where the players could control a spaceships speed and direction using their concentration and state of mind. If you weren't concentrating the spaceship would slow down and if you were nervous or tense the spaceship would collide against different objects.
The goal was to reach your destination in the shortest amount of time.UI/UX2014

Sonisphere is a prototype developed by five students at the London College of Communications, University of the Arts London, studying MA Interactive Media. We are a group with diverse backgrounds, brought together by our common interest in physical computing and interaction. This project was created for our Final Major Project on this course. The group is composed of Lorena Zalles (Visual), Rona Marín Miller (Project Manager), Susan Walsh (Interaction Design), Taraja Anderson (Usability), Viktor Chang (Developer) and the name of our ensemble is Made By Five.
Based around the metaphor of the conductor and the orchestra, the goal of the piece is to try and recreate the experience of the conductor. Sonic Interaction Design, which uses sound as one of the principle channels of conveying information, meaning and emotional qualities in the context, was employed in this piece. The user must feel in control of the music and how his actions have an effect on the music and the visual stimulation: we aim to take the musical experience of composing to a new level of interaction.

This project has been created for the MA Interactive Media at London Colledge of Communication the module of Physical Computing.
Human-Computer interaction is what the project is based on. We want to recreate human emotions and their reactions in a simple life form.
The emotion we are recreating is anxiety; Our intention is to get the user to in some way or another make our globes react to their own emotion of anger and frustration and to observe how this can affect and cause a reaction.Interaction Design, Multimedia2011

MVFR cigs are expected to spread northward across the AMA and GUY TAF sites by sunrise. The low cigs should then clear out by early afternoon. DHT should remain VFR through this forecast. Thunderstorms will be possible across much of the region on Sunday, but the best chance still looks to be near AMA. So, have continued a prob30 group there Sunday afternoon. Cigs and visibilities will likely get down into the MVFR or lower range under the thunderstorms. Storms should move to the east of the TAF sites after sunset on Sunday. && .Prev Discussion... /Issued 605 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016/ Aviation... Low clouds in the MVFR range are expected to spread across the AMA and GUY TAF sites overnight. Cigs will improve by late morning on Sunday into the VFR range. Thunderstorms should develop during the afternoon on Sunday with AMA having the best chance, so have inserted a prob 30 group there. Southeast winds will be around 10 knots overnight, then they should veer some on Sunday and then they will increase and get gusty by afternoon. Prev Discussion... /Issued 347 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016/ Short Term....TONIGHT...Development and intensification of low- level jet tonight may support isolated showers and thunderstorms past the early evening hours. Have increased areal extent of pops a bit farther east before 06z, and have introduced same into north central and northeast sections for late night hours after 06z. Otherwise, expect widespread cloud cover to be in place by 12z, owing to expected strong warm air advection as depicted at 850 mb. Cockrell Long Term...Sunday through Friday night...An upper low over the desert southwest will slowly move east through the day on Sunday, placing the region under southwesterly flow. In response to the approaching weather system, a surge of low level moisture due to a passing warm front will move across the area before halting around the Oklahoma & Kansas state line by Sunday afternoon. An ejecting negatively tilted shortwave trough will aid in the development of a lee cyclone over southeastern Colorado and strengthen the dryline over the far western combined Panhandles. With the combined Panhandles in a warm and moist environment, MLCAPE based upon current forecasted temperatures should reach between 1500-2500 J/kg Sunday afternoon, with CIN eroding by early afternoon. Effective bulk shear varies depending on which guidance is used, but present thinking is that it will be around 20-30 kts in the northern combined Panhandles increasing to 35-45 kts further south. With diffluence aloft, and strong isentropic lift along both the dryline to the west & the warm front to the northeast, dynamics are favorable for strong to severe thunderstorms. Storms may possibly form near the warm front in the northeastern portions of our area with slow forward propagation. Thunderstorms that may form along the dryline may grow upscale into a forward propagating line, with discrete supercells ahead of it Sunday evening. Large hail, damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and an isolated tornado or two (primarily over southern Texas Panhandle) is possible. As the line of storms moves across the area, a cold pool may develop along and behind these storms transitioning the threat towards strong winds in association with a gust front along with heavy rainfall Sunday evening. On Monday, the upper low is not expected to make much forward progression across Arizona placing the region under continued northwesterly flow. Another negatively tilted shortwave trough may move across the area midday Monday, but dryline placement and available instability is in question. Any convection that occurs Sunday may leave a cold pool across the southern combined Panhandles, with model guidance suggestive of the dryline holding along the NM/TX stateline. Should the boundary layer recover from Sunday`s activity, there is significant instability available east of the dryline for convective activity. Present guidance supports 2000-3000 J/kg of MLCAPE, but shear will be light at 20-30 kts. In addition, steering flow is quite light with forward mean layer wind speeds supportive of about 20 kts of forward motion. Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible, with hail and damaging winds being the primary threats. On Tuesday into Wednesday, the upper low is progged to remain cutoff over Arizona keeping the region under southwesterly flow. An upper low progressing across the far northern tier of the U.S. will help bring northwesterly flow down the front range of the Rockies, with a cold front moving across late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. As moist southeasterly flow is progged to continue into our area, and the dryline remaining over the NM/TX stateline, another round of thunderstorms is possible Tuesday afternoon. Based upon forecasted temperatures (upper 70s - lower 80s) on Tuesday, present MLCAPE values are around 2000-3000 J/kg with about 30 to 40 kts of bulk shear possible. This will allow the threat for large hail, damaging winds, and possibly an isolated tornado to continue. Wednesday should present with lingering shower and thunderstorm activity as a cold front helps in pushing moisture southward. Differences in model guidance places some questions as to whether the frontal boundary will clear the Panhandles before or after max heating. Have opted to go with the potential for the boundary to clear the Panhandles, with high temperatures dropping down into the lower to mid 70s.

Any slow moving thunderstorms will place areas that receive them under a threat of localized flooding or flash flooding.

"Sixth man" technical foul with three-tenths of a second left lets Oregon force a second overtime
Dec. 31 in Pullman looked like an innocent opener on the Pac-10 basketball schedule. Suddenly, it could be so much more.
What if Oregon's 91-89 double-overtime victory is the one that nudges the suddenly menacing Ducks (10-4) into the NCAA tournament in March? And what if the loss keeps WSU (11-3) out?
The controversial end to the first overtime has already reached the highest echelon of oversight in NCAA basketball officiating. Pac-10 coordinator of officials Bill McCabe has discussed it with NCAA officials coordinator John Adams, who has taken it up with Ed Bilik, veteran secretary-editor of the rules committee.
"In my four years on the job," McCabe said Tuesday, "this is the most unpleasant one."

McCabe said Adams told him, in reference to the debate, "We don't want our games to end this way. It's not good for college basketball."
The fact they've stimulated national discussion is no consolation to the Cougars, who did everything imaginable short of beating the Ducks.
And then they beat themselves.
To review: DeAngelo Casto flipped in a two-footer in the lane with three-tenths of a second left in overtime, and WSU had a two-point lead.
A WSU player came off the bench, well inside the three-point arc, and snapped a towel in the direction of Casto in celebration. A fan followed the player out to a similar position.
Oregon's Michael Dunigan grabbed the ball from the net, took a couple of steps toward the UO bench and then turned and gave it to guard Malcolm Armstead, who apparently wasn't immediately on the baseline to inbound. About then or just after, officials blew the whistle and stopped play.
Ducks coach Ernie Kent beseeched officials for a technical foul and got it, and Tajuan Porter prolonged the game with two free throws. The NCAA rulebook calls for a technical foul for "delaying the game by preventing the ball from being promptly made live or by preventing continuous play, such as bench personnel entering the playing court before player activity has been terminated."
Says McCabe, "It would have been very unfair for Oregon to try to inbound the ball with more than five [WSU] players on the court … a foot or two [off the bench], you can ignore."
There's dispute over whether, by the time Oregon tried to inbound, the fan and player were still cluttering the floor, but nobody seems to have video to reinforce it. That's important because the rulebook also stipulates, "When the delay does not interfere with play, it shall be ignored."
Further aggravating WSU's pain is that with three-tenths of a second left, the rules say a ball can't be caught and shot, it can only be tipped. So the chance of Oregon scoring from 94 feet away was minuscule.
But it's a rule, in black and white, on how to deal with off-the-bench celebrations.
"I've told [officials], if it's a judgment call, I'll back you to the end," said McCabe. "I know how hard judgment is. But don't you set aside a rule on me."
The impact was rotten, but it's hard to conclude the ruling was. My question: If you're a player or fan about to rush the court in celebration, wouldn't it be a good idea to take a look at the clock first?
McCabe says a likely outcome is a tightened interpretation of the rule, mandating that an official would have to start the inbounds count or the player would have to begin his throwing motion.
"The officials are very, very depressed," McCabe says. "Nobody likes the ending to this thing."
There's an old saw that says officials should let players decide the games. But that's supposed to mean five players, not six.
Troy Story
USC (10-4) is at once the hottest but also the most reeling Pac-10 program, having just imposed a postseason ban in answer to charges that ex-coach Tim Floyd paid O.J. Mayo.
Now there will be no No. 10 team in the Pac-10 tournament, and thus, only a single first-round game opening night between teams 8 and 9. The most pregnant question, though, is whether USC is trying to get the NCAA to ease off on its long-running dealings with the football program.
"I don't see that being the situation at all," said USC coach Kevin O'Neill. "That picture, to me, doesn't fit."

Padres hold on to keep playoff hopes alive
SAN FRANCICSO The odds are still against them, but the Padres gained on both ends of their two-front playoff battle Friday night.
Behind a three-run homer by Adrian Gonzalez and solo homers by Ryan Ludwick and Matt Stairs, the Padres defeated San Francisco 6-4 at AT&T Park to keep the Giants from clinching the National League West title.
The win left the Padres two games behind the Giants with two to play in their regular-season-ending three-game series.
To win the West, the Padres must still win the final two games in San Francisco then defeat the Giants again Monday in a playoff game at Petco Park. (Or, if the Padres sweep the Giants and the Braves are swept by the Phillies, San Diego would win the NL West and the Giants would take the wild card.)
Still quite a long shot.
But the Padres' chances improved more in the wild-card race, where their win, coupled with Philadelphia's 11-5 victory over Atlanta in Georgia, left the Padres only a game behind the Braves.
"We need to win and keep winning," said Padres manager Bud Black. "That's our only option."
After building a 6-0 lead, the Padres held on behind starting pitcher Clayton Richard (three runs allowed on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings) and five relievers concluding with closer Heath Bell, who picked up his 46th save a game after suffering his lone loss of the season.
Bell, who entered the game with two on and two outs in the eighth, successfully converted his 33rd straight save opportunity.
After getting just three hits off Cubs starter Tom Gorzelanny on Thursday afternoon at Petco Park, the Padres got three homers off Giants starter Matt Cain on Friday.
Ludwick hit his sixth homer as a Padre leading off the second to put the Padres up 1-0. It was Ludwick's second homer in as many at-bats against Cain and his third straight extra-base hit against the Giants right-hander. Ludwick hit a 78-mph curve.
Richard singled to open the third and advanced to second on David Eckstein's single off the glove of Giants second baseman Freddy Sanchez.
Gonzalez, who had gone 0-for-13 in the four-game series against the Cubs, then drove a 1-and-2 fastball into the stands in right center to put the Padres ahead 4-0.
Gonzalez, who had also doubled in the first, finished with two hits, equaling his hit total for his previous 30 at-bats.
Stairs made it 5-0 with his sixth homer of the season leading off the fourth.
The Padres stretched their lead to 6-0 in the top of the fifth when Eckstein scored on a wild pitch by Giants reliever Dan Runzler after the second baseman and shortstop Miguel Tejada opened the inning with back-to-back singles.
But the Giants rallied starting with a run in the sixth on a double by Cody Ross and a two-out single by Sanchez.
They scored three more in the sixth — the first off Richard on a one-out double down the left-field line by Pat Burrell followed by a two-run, pinch-hit homer by Aaron Rowand.
The third run scored on an infield single by Andres Torres off Joe Thatcher after the Giants had touched reliever Ryan Webb for a walk and a second Ross double.
Although he was not charged with an error, Gonzalez had three balls ricochet off his glove at first. The third allowed Mike Fontenot to reach first leading off the eighth.
Bell entered the game after Eckstein bounced a throw off Gonzalez's glove — putting Giants on first and second with two out. Torres grounded out to Gonzalez to end the threat.
"This was a good start, but we still have to do it two more times," said Gonzalez. "There is no satisfaction in this win. This is just a step."

- History & LoreHistory:The Belgian Indica hybrids were developed in Ghent, Belgium by breeders seeking a larger range of greenhouse stock for European florists. They used the evergreen azaleas, primarily R. indica and R. simsii, which had been bred for centuries in Japan. Early imports of the Belgian hybrids found favor in the deep south as outdoor plants. This is among the R. x rutherfordiana hybrids, which resulted from crosses of Japanese Kurume azaleas with the Belgian strains. This was the first white hybrid.Lore:Though they are widely known as azaleas, this is actually a specialized group of plants under the genus Rhododendron.

A Few of the Many Health Benefits of Drinking Carrot Juice:
At Hallelujah Diet®, we strongly believe in the therapeutic values of carrot juice and encourage everyone to drink several glasses a day. We also practice what we promote ' we make our fresh carrot juice daily and offer it free of charge to our staff.
To get the same health benefits when juicing is not possible or fresh juice is not available, we created CarrotJuiceMax, a convenient carrot juice powder. You can mix it with water, or take it dry to enhance your experience of the natural sweetness of CarrotJuiceMax.
CarrotJuiceMax vs. Juicing
Dr. H.E. Kirschner, M.D., explains more about this process in his book, Live Food Juices. "...the power to break down the cellular structure of raw vegetables, and assimilate the precious elements they contain, even in the healthiest individual is only fractional ' not more than 35%, and in the less healthy, down to 1%. In the form of juice, these same individuals assimilate up to 92% of these elements...It is a well-known fact that all foods must become liquid before they can be assimilated."
A Professional and Personal Perspective
In 1936, Dr. Norman W. Walker published his landmark book, Fresh Vegetable & Fruit Juices. His major premise was that most sickness and disease is due to deficiency of vital organic minerals, vitamins and enzymes in our diet, and that consuming fresh vegetable and fruit juices is the best way to supply these vital elements.
Dr. Walker's research was based on scientific principles and personal experience. He was seriously ill in his early 40s when he was convinced to go the natural health route. He practically invented carrot juice and the concept of healing with fresh vegetable and fruit juices. The fact that he lived to be 99 years of age is compelling evidence of his subject matter expertise.
Here is what Dr. Walker said as a result of his juice therapy: 'Today, any person not familiar with the nutritional and recuperative value of fresh vegetable and fruit juices is woefully uninformed.' Specifically, he stated that carrot juice is 'the richest source of Vitamin A the body can quickly assimilate.' He also noted it offers an ample supply of other vitamins and minerals.

Agra, May 10 (IANS) Director Anant Mahadevan's next directorial venture is "Life Is Good", which was written by late Sujeet Sen. He is keen to take it to the larger audience but at the same time he doesn't want to go for too much marketing to promote it.
"Box office success is important, but every movie has its own audience today. It's important to take the movie to our target audience," Mahadevan told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
"Publicity is very crucial for low budget movie, but I strongly believe that excessive publicity is fatal for these kind of movies because people do have much higher expectations in that case," added the director who had directed "Dil Vil Pyar Vyaar" and "Dil Maange More".
"Life Is Good" is based on some of Sen's personal, real life incidents, which he had mentioned in his diary. Some of Sen's works include "Arth" and "Saaransh".
Packed with emotions and high drama, the movie is expected to click with those sensitive movie watchers who enjoyed "Arth" or "Saaransh".
Jackie Shroff is playing the lead role in "Life Is Good". Mohan Kapoor, Rajat Kapoor, Nakul Sahdev and Ankit Shrivastava also essay important roles.
Producer Anand Shukla and Mahadevan are extremely excited about their so-called path-breaking movie. It is being made under the Ektanand banner. Though the film is based on real life incidents, it is not a documentary.
"I want to get this movie released at the international level and I am keen to enter it in different film festivals because I think this movie will not only be acknowledged but also be appreciated by the international audience," said Mahadevan.
Mahadevan had won the National Award for the best screenplay and dialogue for 2010 Marathi movie "Mee Sindhutai Sapkal".

Test Your Kitchen Scale's Accuracy with Pocket Change
You want to be sure your kitchen scale is calibrated right, or your recipes aren't going to turn out very well. Baking expert Alice Medrich recommends using standard US coins to check.
You want to be sure your kitchen scale is calibrated right, or your recipes aren't going to turn out very well. Baking expert Alice Medrich recommends using standard US coins to check.
iOS: As bakers are well aware, converting pounds to cups isn't simple math, it varies by ingredient. Cake is a beautiful app that converts common baking ingredients between volume and weight units, and you can add your own too.
We all measure things. In an era where even you can be measured and quantified (and for some good reasons!), it's almost impossible to turn off the numbers. Productivity blogger Seth Godin suggests that may be an idea worth pursuing, though.
Hanging pictures or shelves requires a degree of precision if you don't want things to look weird. If you're having a hard time measuring in a space, a water tube level can help.
It doesn't happen that often, but we've all been in a situation where we need to measure something and don't have a ruler. Luckily, you probably already have a "good enough" ruler in your pocket: a dollar bill.
If you do any cooking or baking, sometimes you'll need to know how many cups of flour are in a pound, or how many sticks of butter will get you a cup. This simple mass-to-volume conversion chart can tell you, and not just for flour or butter, but for almonds, sugar, cornstarch, and other common ingredients, too.
Nobody carries a ruler with them everywhere, but you can measure short distances accurately if you memorize the lengths of your feet and hand span.
How many cups is a pint or a quart or a gallon? How many teaspoons is each? When you're cooking and have to quickly convert kitchen measurements, a graphic chart like this is a great help.
Measuring cups and spoons are necessary if you follow recipes, yet they seem to disappear easily. Household weblog Infarrantly Creative found a great way to keep them on hand in your kitchen by using paint sticks and cup hooks to put together a storage system for your measuring cups and spoons.
iOS: Chances are you don't have a ruler on you at all times, but you probably carry your phone with you everywhere you go. Acoustic Ruler Pro is an app that converts your iOS device and its headphones into a ruler for quick measurements.
Everybody has that one shirt—it looks good and, more importantly, fits perfectly. Use that shirt to find other great-fitting tops with Fit Finder, an impressively detailed database and webapp.
Women know this better than men, but the tape measure knows all: clothing makers can be outright liars when it comes to sizing. Esquire magazine's Style Blog took measurements of seven mainstream 36-inch pants and found discrepancies of up to five inches.
Want to know the straight distance between two points on Google Maps, without resorting to driving directions and figuring out location names? Google Maps just added a Labs feature that provides as-the-crow-flies distances in miles, kilometers, football fields, PostScript points, and more.
Android: If you're curious about how tall or how far away a building is but don't have the means to measure it, 99 cent app Advanced Ruler Pro will use your phone's camera and accelerometer to give you an estimate.
Quick anatomy lesson: the distance between your eyes is one-tenth the length of your arm. This is important, because it helps you estimate the distance between yourself and any object of reasonably known size to a rather accurate degree.

This was a superb meal! I even tucked into it when it was cold, so delicious! I processed the meat again to make it finer and softer and I used vegetable broth for the tomato sauce otherwise I kept to the ingredients exactly. A beautiful flavour with the fresh mint and parsley, very, very tasty. Thanks for posting, this was a hit with everyone!
This was awesome! I look forward to some leftovers. I followed the recipe pretty closely, but the rice wasn't fully cooked by the time it was ready. I would recommend soaking the rice for an additional five minutes or so.
I made this last night and it was excellent. I did a few things differently. I doubled the meat and baked them in the oven. Froze a pan so that I'll have them for later. I couldn't find oregano so I substituted dill. And I didn't have the mint. I used leftover rice and put in at least a cup per pound, maybe a little more. I used Del Monte diced tomatoes; highly recommend that brand. Next time, I will try it with the ingredients listed. But even with my changes, it was delicious. I was looking for an alternative to the simple Jeff Smith/Frugal gourmet recipe. This far exceeded my expectation.

Washburn Tunnel
Houston, TX - ian - Sunday, December 22nd, 2002 : goo

3100 Federal Rd.
The ship channel undoubtedly transformed this city into the petrochemical juggernaught it is today. There was once another tunnel under it, but it's been replaced with a magnificent cable-stayed suspension bridge.

I remember going to and from work each day and praying there wasn't an accident or stalled car inside the tunnel.
Chet Cuccia: 19th Jan 2007 - 00:03 GMT
I never been through this tunnel, but the inside looks just like the old Baytown-LaPorte Tunnel.
Rudy: 30th Jul 2007 - 14:46 GMT
Built in 1950, The Washburn Tunnel is the only operational underwater vehicle tunnel in the state of Texas. The Baytown Tunnel was demolished several years ago for the construction of the Fred Hartman Bridge (SH 146) in Baytown. As of Feb. 1, 2007, cameras are being used to monitor traffic use in the tunnel for possible structure changes that may need to be made in the future because of its age.
Rudy: 30th Jul 2007 - 14:50 GMT
By the way, I have lived only 5 miles from this tunnel for 38 years, and it still gives me chills to drive through it. Not because of fear, but because it's amazed me that such a tunnel of its age could still be fully operational. It's a short drive through it, but always an amazing experience!
PJ Rock: 30th Aug 2007 - 02:35 GMT
I drive through this tunnel every day, every week! Awesome marvel!
Craig: 15th Sep 2007 - 03:07 GMT
I had a motorcycle wreck in 1980 coming out of the south side of the tunnel.
mario de j,: 1st Oct 2007 - 01:38 GMT
I go thru the tunnel to work 2 times a day,and before i go across I pray to God nothing bad happen.It is narrow and old.It needs to be replace for an update and new structure before something bad happen!
Liz October 27th 2007: 27th Oct 2007 - 19:48 GMT
I kive a good 15 minutes from the tunnel and have been going through through the tunnel all my life. As a child we went through it every Sunday to see my grandparentsand it is still awesome.
Galen J: 14th Nov 2007 - 02:11 GMT
I drove through this tunnel hundreds of times beginning in the mid 1950's. It always amazed me how AM radio stations would immediately go off once you hit the entrance. Driving a motorcycle through it in the 60's was indeed a challenge. You had to drive down right or left side of the lane. If traffic stopped and you were at the bottom, the car fumes in those days were terrible. Washburn tunnel = good memories.
Jane Biggers: 31st Dec 2007 - 21:15 GMT
I will never forget this tunnel when going thru it to my visit my brother and his family for years. I was in awe and yet it held an unknown terror of mystery within its enclosure, and I prayed no wreck or engine failure would occur while in it or to happen up on another misfortune within the tunnell's tomb....

I was born in Houston, Texas in 1952 and growing up I would ride with my grandfather to take my grandmother to work through the Washburn Tunnel. But I never knew it was under water until I spoke to my mom who now lives in Arizona. I was shocked. If I had known this when I had to take my grandson to a football training camp this past summer, I don't think I would have gone through it. Its a scary but fasinating thought. It makes me think of how Moses parted the red sea. I am a part of history!
L.Barry: 26th Feb 2008 - 01:26 GMT
I have drove through it many of times because it was a handy route to go instead of the Ship Channel Bridge. It was far better than that Dark and dingy old Baytown tunnel which I always hated to drive through it. Thank Goodness they replaced it with that bridge.It took them long enough waiting for that South African steel to arrive, them were the days.

I haven't driven or riden through the tunnel in many many years, First went through it as a child of 4 yrs. right after it was opened... I was in awe each time we went though it. Mom would tell us how much water was above us...

Hi, I oversee the tunnel and the ferry for Commissioner Garcia and we look forward to opening the tunnel back up asap. We are cleaning debris and checking the electricals and moving as quick and safely as possible. The Tunnel just went on the National Register this year and we are very proud of it.
Michelle: 2nd Oct 2008 - 21:14 GMT
Does any one know if the tunnel is open yet. Or When it will reopen.
Rudy: 5th Oct 2008 - 17:45 GMT
If anyone would like to read a short notice about the closing of the Washburn Tunnel and a photo of what the tunnel looked like with the water coming up to one of the entrances, go to this page:
Rudy: 7th Oct 2008 - 19:02 GMT
As of this posting, no other information is known to the schedule for when the tunnel will be re-opened. I phoned the commissioner's office that handles the tunnel operations and she told me that no exact date has been established because repairs are still on-going. She informed me to watch the news later this week or into next week and if they do schedule a reopening date, the media will report the information to the public. But I do know the hassle of it being closed, because I have to go over the Ship Channel Bridge to 225 just to get to somewhere just on the other side of the tunnel. Normally it's only about 5 miles...now my trip is about 8 to 10. So stay tuned to the media for updates, or I will post it here when I find out! Until then, remember the jokes that would go around after a heavy rain..about "the tunnel being underwater"? It's no joke now! :P
Rudy: 25th Oct 2008 - 03:55 GMT
Just to let everyone know, the Washburn Tunnel will be opening up tomorrow, October 25, at 5:30 AM!! YAY! So now you don't have to take the long way around. I'm glad to see it open back up, and I am happy to know that it was not ruined beyond repair. All the electrical wiring has been replaced, and the surveillance cameras have been repaired, and the entire tunnel has been cleaned of all debris. Good luck to everyone, and happy traveling through the Washburn Tunnel once again!
james: 3rd Nov 2008 - 04:32 GMT
wish you could actually see the water that was over your head!!!! Then that would make the ride even better :))

The tunnel was demolished AFTER the Fred Hartman Bridge openened.
Manuel: 8th Dec 2008 - 20:07 GMT
I am the only person (AFAIK) who was actually born inside the tunnel. Thats right, January 3, 1966... when my parents got caught in traffic due to a road repair on the way to the hospital. If anyone can beat that, let me know, but I think I hold the title of Only Person Ever Birthed in the Washburn Tunnel.
Patrick: 9th Feb 2009 - 05:28 GMT
I am about to do a 67 mile bike ride next week from Kingwood to Galveston that will take me through the tunnel...if you hear about a cyclist that got turned into a red smear on the tiles, I'm your man :P
Rudy: 25th Feb 2009 - 23:06 GMT
Because the Washburn Tunnel is very narrow, they will not allow pedestrians or bicyclist to make their way through the tunnel. If you're a walker, you will have to "thumb" a ride in someone's car. If you are a bicyclist, you will have to do the same, but get a truck so you can toss your bike in the back. One other rule for inside the tunnel is to NOT honk your horn if it's not necessary. The vibrations from the horn sound can damage the tiles inside. I don't see how they can make this a rule, when you already have massive noise from vehicle traffic. They used to have a rule to turn your lights off as you go through to avoid blinding oncoming drivers, however because of the growing number of vehicles that now have the "daytime" running lights, they threw this rule out. Good luck on your bike ride...but...you may have to try out your strength by riding up the Houston Ship Channel Bridge if you can't go through the tunnel! (Eat a good breakfast that morning!! HAHA)
Dick from Frogholler Iowa: 28th Jun 2009 - 17:10 GMT
I have driven through the baytown tunnel many times from 1964 to 1993. We lived in League City. We watched the new bridge being constructed. My son and I would walk up to the end during construction on a weekend and sit on the end and let our legs dangle over the ship channel. I have vidoes of being there then. The two towers were over 400 feet high I believe. I wanted so bad to see the bridge finnished but retired from NASA in 1993 and returned to Iowa. But I got to see the approaches built right up to the ship channel. I always wondered how they removed the tunnel and would liked to have seen that. I had an idea of how to do that. Seal both ends water tight. Fill the tunnel with ping-pong balls which would make it float. Then tow it out to deep water and sink it.
Mrs. Robinson: 31st Jul 2009 - 15:23 GMT
I remember traveling through a tunnel at night with two lanes each direction back in the late 80's on a motorcycle wiht my brother over to the Hobby Airport area to see a friend. Then about a month ago a friend directed me that away to Pasadena in my van and I must confess that was the scariest moment to me. I had never drove that away alone. I am just glad it was daylight at the end of the tunnel. (:-).
Annette: 4th Sep 2009 - 04:37 GMT
I remember being very pregnant with my daughter in March of 1972. I would be traveling from Channelview to Pasadena to the hospital for her birth. I heard that the tunnel would be closed for cleaning at midnight on March 14th and hoped I didn't go into labor that night. Sure enough I did and my husband and I got to the tunnel and a police officer had to escourt us through.
Gorman: 10th Dec 2009 - 13:42 GMT
I remember going though a tunnel with my parents, while riding in the back seat of our 1953 Ford, back in the 1950s - somewhere around Houston on the way from Victoria to Gilmer. This must be the tunnel. I have lived in Houston for 30 years, but have not went to see the tunnel in all that time. I might finally do it. Memories...
Billy: 6th Mar 2010 - 19:43 GMT
I'm doing an audio CD on near misses that I have had, and had one coming out of the south side of this tunnel one early morning. Thanks for posting the picture. I may use it in a cd and insert cover when I finish this audio.

My husband and I drove home from kema last week and decided to let the gps guide us and take us where it may.... it led us to the tunnel. we had no idea it existed! What a beautiful peice of construction, we got home and we googled it, and it brought us to this link! Next time we go driving, I will definitly pass that way again!!

Dimitri: 10th Dec 2010 - 03:19 GMT
I first heard of this tunnel when it closed for Ike, from that day forward I said I wanted to see it. So I typed it into my GPS and found it, I must say this was one of the greatest experiences I've had in my life. Although a short trip it really amazed me to know that I was underwater, it also amazed me that engineering this advanced existed 50 years ago. I work in the testing area of construction and would love to take a tour on the top side of the tunnel just to put it all into perspective , as far as how many cubic yards did it take,man hours, and of course just how far underwater do you actually go!!!!!!!!!!!

I talked my dad into going to the Dayton Drag Strip in the mid-1960's. Pop thought it was foolishish to tear up cars. A local kid had a hot rod 1955 Ford that burst a radiator at the strip. Pop offered to chain pull him back to Pasadena behind his 1948 Imperial with. When we got to the tunnel they did not allow cars being pulled with a chain. The guard asked if the Ford would run enough to drive through under its own power. The Ford had no exhaust as it was a race car. The kid told the guard it ran but was loud. The guard said he did not care how much noise he made...just get through as fast as he could. The kid made about a 100 mph pass without exhaust through the tunnel. My hearing has not been the same since.
Scott Cox: 20th May 2011 - 18:28 GMT
lived in galena park for 51 years...been in and out of this tunnel a thousand times and hope for another 51 years of service for this icon of our little neck of the woods...it gives some folks the willies when entering the mouth of the ''beast''...and yes it was an adventure driving a motorcycle or any other motorized vehicle in and out when it was paved with coble stones...hope to have it refurbished rather than tore down...we need this access to our homes and businesses as well as traffic control
Jeff Murphy: 15th Jul 2011 - 02:35 GMT
I went through the time lasting tunnel tonight. I have been through it hundreds of times but this was the first time in probably 25 years. It's still an awesome model of engineering. It did seem dryer than before. I remember always seeing puddles I assumed were leaks....
Mark Woody: 30th Sep 2011 - 00:18 GMT
I've been a lifetime Pasadena Resident, and have passed through the tunnel many, many times.At 57 now, I'm doubting I may want to ever again after today (Sept.29th,2011). South bound from Houston, as I enetered, I noticed the yellow flashing lights, and the warning sign stating "Splippery When Wet". It was storming and after months of drought, I had enough sense to SLOW DOWN and stay my distance from the lead car. Half way through the tunnel I noticed a 5 car pile-up on the Northbound side and slowed to 5 MPH.Then I heard (sounded like bombs going-off) one after another after another...etc...Boom..Boom..Boom...At least 15 cars had rear-ended each other. 2 Lanes of 2 way traffic. I was so glad I wasnt part of this clostorphobic accident! And all because of water and oil on the road don't mix with car tires.Maybe they should change this antique design and keep people safer?

Sherry Baldwin Janetzke: 12th Mar 2012 - 20:51 GMT
Two of my favorite childhood memories, the Washburn Tunnel and the Lynchburg Ferry. I was born in Goosecreek, Texas and lived in Channelview for many years, then to Pasadena where my father worked at Ethyl Corporation. When we lived in Channelview several of my uncles and my father worked on the Lynchburg Ferry and on Sundays all us kids would ride back and forth on the ferry. We actually walked through the Washburn tunnel when it first opened up and to this day when I visit the area I always make a run from Houston through Pasadena and the Washburn Tunnel to Channelview and on to the Lynchburg Ferry to the San Jacinto Monument and back home. My roots are there and will always be there.
anon (18.104.22.168): 13th Mar 2012 - 20:41 GMT
I remembr when the tunnel was first opened and my mom and dad drove us thru it. At that time it was scary to me and I still remember it leaking/dripping from the celing. Those were the uglest tiles I've ever seen. Have to admit they did a good job on it though since it still operationals an handles a considerable amount of traffic daily.

'Free to Breathe' 5k to honor father
Steve Salmon taught his daughters how to draw, how to fish, how to catch frogs and snakes, and how to make a model of a human skeleton from leftover chicken bones.
He taught them how to discover beauty in nature, and how, at the tender age of five, to eat raw oysters.
He taught them how to build a rabbit trap that didn't always catch rabbits and how to handle tools so they wouldn't need a man to turn a wrench.
As Salmon liked to say, "Anyone can raise a boy – but it takes a real man to raise two daughters!"
In the dedication of their book, Pink Sky at Night, his daughters write that Salmon (pictured at right) also taught them to think creatively, how to like being just who they are, and to try every day to make someone laugh. The best way to learn, he contended, is to make mistakes – so never do anything halfway.
And when Salmon learned, a month shy of his 40th wedding anniversary, that what he thought was pneumonia was actually stage four lung cancer, he was as good as his word.
"Dad gave it his all," say his daughters, in the fight for his life. He began the most aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatment his body could endure. "But the truth was," says Jennifer Melton Salmon, "Dad's lungs were already so badly damaged, he really didn't stand a chance."
A month after his death in December 2008, Melton and her sister, Stephanie Weis, got involved with the National Lung Cancer Partnership (NLCP). In 2010, they were selected from hundreds of applicants nationwide to attend the organization's annual summit in Tampa, Florida, and spend a week touring a cancer research facility, learning about lung cancer, and training to become advocates.
"We came back feeling empowered," says Melton, "and ready to make a difference here in Richmond in Dad's memory."
A Lighthouse and Three Tugboats
The Pink Sky book, co-authored by the girls and illustrated by Melton to tell their young children about their grandfather, was a first step. Melton recalls that when they presented the manuscript to the CEO of Mascot Books, he cried.
"As a father of two young girls, [Naren Aryal] was especially touched by the story," Melton says. "It is a story of a lighthouse (Dad) and 3 tugboats (Mom, Steph and I) and a storm that hits the harbor." A portion of proceeds from the book, which centers around a theme of weathering life's storms, benefits NLCP and lung cancer research.
Another step toward making a difference was organizing Virginia's inaugural Free to Breathe 5K Fun Run/Walk & Memorial Walk, a benefit for NLCP that will take place March 12 at Short Pump Town Center. The Richmond site was chosen, says Melton, not only because lung cancer is the leading cancer killer of men and women in Virginia, but also because the city is the home of tobacco giant Philip Morris.
In addition to raising funds for research and education, the 5k event is intended to raise awareness of the deadly disease.
"Sadly," Melton says, "the assumption people immediately make is that lung cancer is a smoker's disease. . . Well, the fact is, if you breathe air you are at risk."
The "smoker's disease" stigma contributes to a vicious cycle of less funding for research, which leads to fewer researchers choosing the field, fewer advances made in treatments and fewer sufferers who survive.
And whether or not lung cancer sufferers increase their risk by smoking, says Melton, "that doesn't change the fact that these people deserve compassion and the best treatment while living out their lives." As her nurse educator sister points out, "No one lives a perfect life." It's only human to take chances such as speeding while driving, forgetting to wear sunscreen, and eating fast food, even while knowing of the potential harm involved.
'If Not for Him'
Through their work with NLCP, says Melton, Steve Salmon's daughters have had the opportunity to form special bonds and friendships with a number of lung cancer survivors and their family members.
"Having the opportunity to meet survivors, talking to families going through it or families who have lost someone to it is so rewarding," says Melton.
She mentions a recent visitor to the NLCP booth at a health-related expo – "an incredible woman named Clara" – who hung back at first looking apprehensive, but then approached to talk about her experiences as a four-year lung cancer survivor. Currently under treatment again, Clara is a hero to Melton. "[She's] a reminder to me of why I fight this deadly disease that sometimes feels impossible."
But it is the memories of her father, and the lessons he imparted in his daughters, that ultimately give Melton her purpose.
"I have dedicated my life to this," she says.
"The only way I can live without Dad is to continue to fight the disease that killed him. If not for him, [then] for someone else."
