You are about to discover, sunken treasures no human has ever seen before.
Land and rock features that have been submerged for thousands of years.
Ancient forests.....
Sunken boats........
and the famous steamer Tahoe.
Unusual formations - locked away from view since Tahoe was created some 3
million years ago.
Our story begins beneath the surface at Rubicon Point where sheer granite
cliffs drop into the deepest part of the lake.
As our camera slowly descended the steep incline, we noticed that the rocks
were quite angular and not as smoothly polished from erosion.
Occasionally, we found evidence like this of an underwater rock slide. Just
like on the surface, loose rock had slid down through this submerged rock
chute and had come to rest on an angular outcropping.
The camera focused on the rock face as it descended. But each time we
turned to look down, the granite cliff continued to plunge vertically toward
the bottom.
Except for the rock slides, this submerged geological formation had remained
unchanged from the beginning - when it was thrust up from the center of the
We felt like explorers upon an alien planet. Every eye watched the monitor in
absolute fascination....
as the two remote ROV's made their descent into an ancient land that was
filled with mystery.
At a depth of 532 feet, the ROV's were coming to the end of the tether. The
picture was so dark, stronger lights would be needed if we were to dive
The cliff still continued to plunge off vertically. At this extreme depth, we
were still less than a third of the way to the bottom.
Our next dive site was approximately two miles off shore from the town of
Dixie Captain Jim Biller brought our craft over one of the lakes many sea
mounds - an area of land that had been unexplainably elevated off the lake
Fishermen had reported this area to be a fertile spot for catching the lakes'
huge Mackinaw trout.
As we lowered over the side, we hoped to get a glimpse of the big fish.
The ROV settled through 170 feet of water. Suddenly, we made out our first
sighting of the sea mound.
The top of the mound was covered with heavy, green grass. This was the
first real sign of life we had encountered.
What appeared as trails through the grass were actually scars caused by
fisherman, accidentally dragging their boat anchors across the bottom.
There was no apparent reason why the grass was flourishing here - but not
growing in other shallow places on the lake. So we wondered......what made
this place different from the rest of the lake?
Suddenly, we a caught a glimpse of our first Mackinaw.......
It looked to be a 4-6 pounder. The big fish was wary....moving off slowly
from the ROV.
As the Mackinaw swam away to safer ground, we continued to explore the top
of the sea mound.
The depth gauge showed we were at 158 feet. At this depth, the mound was
just out of range for the average, recreational scuba diver.
As we glided across the underwater pasture, we caught site of two more
The big fish appeared as apparitions against the clear blue water. Like the
first, these two were exceedingly suspicious.
Curious as to what might be found at the edge of the plateau, Tim Romedy
turned the ROV and headed for what we hoped would be the South side.
No one had ever seen the side of these mounds. There had been some
controversy among geologists as to what might have caused them to rise off
the lake floor.
As we neared the edge, the top of the sea mound began to gently slope off
toward the bottom. Our depth gauge read 172 feet.
We passed over a curious looking formation with several layers. It looked
like different levels of sediment.
As the camera continued over the side, we were suddenly presented with an
awesome spectacle we had never imagined to encounter.
It was clear to see where the sand ended. The grass was growing atop of
what appeared to be, a solid mass of rock.
Experts had told us before the dive that the lake bed was almost perfectly
flat and sandy. The only differences we expected to find were the boulders
along the East Shore and the Rubicon Cliffs on the West side.
But what we had stumbled upon here....was beginning to look, like a real
There were long, horizontal striations that seemed to travel out across the
face. We were 185 feet below water and continuing our descent.
The ledge pitched over into a sea of blue water.
We were hypnotized by the splendor of this massive formation. The walls
were completely vertical, terminating in small ledges.
The rock here had been carved inward to a much higher degree - a strong sign
of possible wave erosion. But how could there be erosion so far under
Algae clung to the top of the over-hang. The crevasse revealed uncommonly
brilliant colors...colors we had not expected to find underwater at Lake
As we maneuvered in closer....
it appeared as if water had entirely undercut the formation.
Small caverns and eroded crevasses ran far back up inside the mound. This
was an extremely fascinating discovery.
Hidden just beneath the waves for thousands of years...the scenes you are
watching are surely...the first time human eyes have ever gazed upon this
beautiful architecture of nature.
The rock stood out like a blacked monolith - silhouetted against the bright
blue sunlighted surface. How many years had pleasure boats and water skiers
passed over head - never knowing that two miles out from shore, this
magnificent treasure lay hidden....just below the waterline.
As we continued our descent, the rock alternated back and forth from sheer
vertical cliffs into small hanging ledges. If this canyon was still above
water, it would have been set aside as a national preserve. At 212 feet under
water, we passed over a small, eroded formation. The reddish top was made
of harder material and the white center was clearly softer. This was a
significant sign that the lake level might have been at a lower elevation -
allowing water to carve this formation.
Had the sea mound once been an island out in the water? Or perhaps the edge
of an ancient shore line?
Was this the reason why grass was growing on top - and nowhere else on
Tahoe's flat sandy bottom?
We had far more questions than answers as we continued our descent.
At 362 feet, the walls began to slope outward and we started to see
accumulations of lake bottom sediment. At this particular location, we had
either reached another plateau or we were drawing near to the bottom of the
We had seen so much in just one small spot. With the lake being 22 miles
long and 14 miles across, our imaginations ran wild with anticipation.
What more lay waiting to be discovered....out there, in the silent halls of
Tahoe's misty blue water?
The next day, we set out to explore off the Southwest shoreline. Tree
stumps that had been carbon dated back 4,000 years in time, were reported
to be standing under water at depths of 40-60 feet.
This meant that since the last ice age, the trees had been growing on dry land
- at a place that was now under water.
It was speculated that Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Western region had
experienced a severe drought cycle that lasted between 350-400 years
duration -
enough time to have allowed the tree seeds to germinate and grow full term
upon dry land.
How low the waterline may have dropped was still not known....but it might
explain the wave erosion we had witnessed on the sea mound at 212 feet
under water.
At a depth of 43 feet, we came upon the first upright tree stump.
It was difficult to imagine that this had once been a big, majestic forest.
That this upright stump had stood through winds, rain and pounding waves for
up to 4,000 years, without toppling over, was itself, a miracle.
Down at the base between the roots, a crayfish had set up permanent living
Nearby, other tree stumps soon came into view.
This tree had witnessed the passing of the ages.
Now it stood entirely alone in silence; the top less than two feet under
the water's surface.
Our next stop was at the crown jewel of the Sierra, Emerald Bay.
We had heard there was an old, submerged rowboat out in the bay. This was
intriguing because of the numerous stories about early-day pioneers who
were last seen rounding Rubicon Point, never to be seen again.
We traveled down the side of an old log.......
Suddenly, a strange shape emerged before the camera. It was an early,
vintage-looking kayak that someone had filled with rocks and sent to the
We continued our search - probing the bottom of the bay for anything
At a depth of 90 feet, we found it laying on the side of a gentle slope.
From the transom, it did appear to be an older design.
As we circled the boat, one of the crew remarked that it appeared in pretty
good condition, perhaps even salvageable.
On closer inspection of the star- board side, we found the mortal wound that
had sent it to the bottom.
Our final dive site was to be in Glenbrook Harbor.....an area rich in Western
In the late 1800's..... they had driven huge pilings into the sandy bottom.....and
thereupon built docks onto which passengers, freight and logs were loaded
for the trip to historic Virginia City.
The tops of the pilings had deteriorated over time. Some had been in the
water for more than a hundred twenty-five years.
Under the surface, it was quite a different story. The pilings were strong
and stout. They looked to be no more than ten years old.
The water was so pure and free of bacteria, that the pilings had remained as
perfectly preserved as the day they were driven into the sand.
Now in those days, the pioneer Bliss family who had developed the area,
constructed a steam passenger ship on the banks of the bay.
Long and sleek, steamship Tahoe was built for speed. From rudder to bow, the
proud vessel was 190 feet long. The steam engine with it's single black
smoke stack, powered two big propellers.
For years, the image of the Tahoe rounding the bend was a common site.
She had a lucrative contract with the U.S. Postal Service to haul mail
throughout the basin.
But in the mid 30's, the mail contract was awarded to another firm and the
Tahoe fell upon hard times.
The Bliss family, not wanting to see their ship picked apart by vandals or
sold for scrap, decided to send her to the bottom where no further harm could
befall the elegant lady. Late one night, they towed her out of Glenbrook
Harbor. The seacocks were opened. Water began to flood her
compartments.....and the steamer Tahoe, once known as the queen of Lake
Tahoe, slipped silently from sight to her watery grave.
Using sophisticated GPS tracking equipment linked to a satellite, the Echo V
anchored directly over the site that was believed to be her final resting
place at the mouth of Glenbrook Bay.
The ship's depth finder indicated it was 372 feet to the bottom.
Slowly, we descended away from our boat toward what we hoped would be
the wreck of the Steamer Tahoe.
At this depth, it was nearly pitch black. We activated the on-board quartz
lights to help find the bottom.
Suddenly, we were there. The bottom looked extremely flat. It was void of
any feature.
Then just ahead, we saw her big, dark shadow.
The ship was gigantic. She lay flat upon the side of a rising slope. Her bow
was high and facing uphill toward the Glenbrook shore.
At 372 feet, there was just enough ambient light from overhead to silhouette
the hull. The stern lay downhill.
The steel bow line of the ship was severely bent. It had likely been caused
by accidentally running into a dock.
Cosmetically, the steamer Tahoe was in excellent condition. After 50 years
on the bottom, her name could still be plainly read.
In the center of the deck, the windlass was firmly attached.
Behind the windlass lay an open hatch which led to the forward chain and
anchor locker.
The Tahoe's distinctive, single- funnel smoke stack was still in place -
though it had been dented by a salvager's grappling hook near the top.
Facing forward, the bow stretched uphill....providing a dynamic view of the
We continued our exploration of the Tahoe, moving aft toward the engine
The restrooms were on the other side of the bulkhead. The toilet seat was
left in the up position. One of the crew remarked that a man, was obviously
the last one to use the facilities.
The wash basin had the old-style faucet handles. The steamer was still in
remarkably good condition.
The stern of the ship was laying on the downhill side. Beneath the railing,
you could still read her name.
The grand lady of the lake had made her final port of call at the bottom of
Glenbrook Bay.
We had barely scratched the surface of what still could be discovered.
Well documented stories of military and pre-war airplane crashes seemed to
pull irresistibly on our curiosity to explore.
What fascinating geological formations might still be lurking in the
shadow of an ancient cliff?
Perhaps, some things were destined to always be a memory. Sunken
Treasures, sealed for eternity, at the bottom of Lake Tahoe.

An African Victory, A Powerful Woman, A Racial Truth
Ethiopian Victory Affects the World
Though it may not be noted in every history book, in 1896 the Battle of Adwa took place on the Horn of Africa. The battle pitted the armies of Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia against invading Italian forces commanded by General Oreste Baraterie. The Ethiopian victory produced a resonance that vibrated the entire western world for a number of reasons.
For the first time African forces had defeated a European power bent on forging an empire in Africa. And once again in the history of Ethiopia, the victory was influenced by a powerful Ethiopian woman, Empress Taitu. Also, the question of racial superiority was beginning to affect western societies, especially post-slavery America. Many were surprised that an African nation could defeat a white colonial power such as Italy.
The heritage of the victory at Adwa is felt deeply by the people of Ethiopia, because it sealed the country's fortune as the only African nation to have never succumbed to European colonization. The Ethiopian Heritage Society of North America feels especially charged to share and to keep alive the memory of the battle, not only because of the turning point it marked in Ethiopian history, but also because of the thrusting impact the victory had upon an already rapidly changing world.
Carving Up Africa
During the latter part of the 19th century, the mighty powers of Europe were intent on carving up Africa in their search for empires. The British, the French, the Portuguese and even the Italians were among them The Italians laid claim to Ethiopia. They were very interested because of the proximity of the new Suez Canal and the prospects of increasing trade. They were also interested in the wealth the land had to offer. Their first attempts at colonization involved establishing a colony in Eritrea.
From that foothold they had their eyes on the rich Ethiopian lands to the south. Emboldened by the success of other European powers in Africa, the Italians had reason to believe that snatching the land as part of their empire would require little effort. But their confrontation with Queen Taitu during discussions involving the Treaty of Wuchale should have given them warning.
From the House of Solomon to the Treaty of Wuchale
Taitu Betul was born around 1851 and traced her lineage back to the offspring of the biblical Queen of Sheba and King Solomon of Judea, as did her husband, King Menelik. The two would claim the positions of Emperor and Empress after the battle of Adwa. Tradition has it that the male offspring of that union was also named Menelik. Tradition also connects the Queen of Sheba with the "dark and lovely" companion of the Jewish king in the biblical psalm, "The Song of Solomon."
As queen, Taitu wielded considerable political power and she was a key player in the heated negotiations over the Treaty of Wuchale. Crafted by the Italians, the treaty was two-faced. One copy of the treaty gave Ethiopia to the Italians; the other copy assured the Ethiopians that they could maintain their autonomy. Queen Taitu held a hard line for Ethiopia and the talks eventually broke down. At the negotiations she said, "I am a woman. I do not like war. However, I would rather die than accept your deal." As a result, Italy turned to invade Ethiopia.
Ethiopia United by the King
King Menelik was ruler of the realm of Ethiopia. A wise man and a skilled general, he had noted that most of the defeats across the span of Africa were due to warring ethnic factions being unable to unite against the white colonials. He vowed that would not be the case for his country and warned every citizen from every corner of Ethiopia about that possibility. He became the leader of a unification of the peoples of Ethiopia and set out to train and equips a formidable army made up of all the Ethiopian peoples.
Menelik summoned princes, their vassals, and other people from every corner of the nation, and mustered a force of over 200,000 men. Queen Taitu herself rounded up 16,000. To provision his army, Menelik was able to gather 300,000 rifles, 5 million rounds of ammunition, 6 thousand revolvers and 25,000 blades for lances. Ample provisions for a formidable artillery force were secured as well. In fact, Queen Taitu commanded some of the artillery forces.
Battles Before Adwa
Two battles occurred before Adwa, one at Mekele and one at Ambalage. The battle at Mekele is certainly noteworthy as it involved the Queen and her troops and their superb tactics. The Italians had themselves well-fortified in formidable, hillside bunkers bristling with sharpened stakes and broken glass. The area was raked with solid Italian machine gun fire. The queen sent a spy to see if a weakness in the fortifications could be discovered. The spy returned to tell her of the vulnerability of the Italians' source of water.
Taitu ordered her soldiers to capture the water supply. She told her army officials, "You were anxious to get involved in this war. As you know, there is not enough space for all of the army; I do not want lose any of you over friendly fire. Be on guard at the water supply down in the valley. I hope you are not afraid to die for your country and honor. I will give gifts for those who will come back alive. I will take care of the families of those who die. Let God be with you!"
The Italians tried several times to regain their water supply, but Taitu's soldiers held through each assault. She kept the troops there well-supplied with food and ammunition. The troops were ready to die for her, their country and their honor. They defended the water well for 15 days against the Italians. As a result, the Italians finally had to sue for peace when King Menelik arrived on the scene.
The Battle of Adwa
When her husband marched forth to the north to meet the main body of the enemy, Queen Taitu marched with him. She was commander of an artillery battery during the Battle of Adwa. The Italian forces were made up of around 18,000 infantry and 56 artillery guns. Several thousand Italian troops were allocated to supply duties and the rest included many inexperienced troops and some Eritreans lead by Italian officers. Their equipment was poor and their morale was low.
The battle was a nasty and bloody affair. The Italians fought valiantly but they were out-numbered and out-smarted. One general's brigade was decimated by Ethiopian lancers and the general's body was never found. Over 7,000 soldiers from each force died. The battle was a crushing and humiliating defeat for Italy. The Ethiopians drove the retreating Italians to Eritrea and ultimately ran them out of the area altogether. As a term of The Treaty of Addis Abba, drawn on the 26th of October, 1896, Italy was forced to recognize Ethiopian independence.
Empress Consort of Ethiopia
Because of their success in uniting the nation, on the 10th of May in 1889, Taitu and her husband, Menelik, were crowned Emperor and Empress of Ethiopia. Just as when she was queen, the empress wielded great power at court. Their reign and their marriage could be seen as a "good cop – bad cop" affair. Her husband would always prevaricate or postpone decisions and deign to her rulings. As a result, her husband was much-liked, and she was not so well-liked. But, she made all the tough decisions. Because of the colonial wars, she had a great mistrust for anything European and defended Ethiopian traditions and culture vehemently.
The Three Victories of Adwa and Empress Taitu
The world learned at least three lessons from the Battle of Adwa. One, that it was possible for a united African nation such as Ethiopia to defeat a large, European colonial power. Two, women such as Taitu could lead in diplomacy and lead in battle just as could men. Long before women could even vote in Western nations, the soldiers and citizens of Ethiopia accepted Taitu's leadership. Three, the notion of white racial superiority had been taken down a notch or two and this had great influence on societies around the globe, especially in America where the notion of racial equality was just starting to bubble up through the culture.
And we the Falasha are the one WHO brought civilisation to ethiopia. All the truth is not told in the past and in present.
The truth is Falasha build Axum,all historical places in Ethiopia
The truth is Falasha are the decedent of God.
The truth is Falasha are the tribe of queen Shaba and beyond.
What is not true is these chiggarams weyannes claim they are.
I lought hahahaaaa when I see these chiggarams claim they are the one who build Axum or tell about Shaba and king Solomon….hahaha.. Sub-animals weyannes and shabians.
While Menelike's army is waging war
against the Invader to liberate Tigrai .Mengesha and Tigrai nobolities have already run away from
the battle field defeated by Baratieri.A historical "NAKED FACT" that the Shabyan Ass Hole Adgi and
the TPLF Bigot Agassess with their
Thuggy bros and systs have to meditate !!!!!!
It was such history making victory over the European colonialists which to this day is the hateful and negativity driving them to do any thing against Ethiopia. Being ashamed for a huge defeat the white man never forgot or forgive us to this day. That was one of the main reasons to bring woyane in to power so that we may be divided and suppressed we might not make a significant development. The EU and the US are the worst enemies of Ethiopia which they see as a defender of freedom and independence for the black continent. Our national flag is among the symbols of freedom for most Africans. The white man will do to reduce us to the extent of becoming a scattered provinces as woyane is doing it for them. They will support and do anything if they find some one like Meles and Issass those bandits who have no vision of a united Africa except to become dictators of a divided and disintegrated country. The only solution is when we get united in one accord and fight against such wicked scheme and repeat the victory at Adwa, but in different style.
woyane banda forefathers were selling eggs to italians.
I admire and respect Empress Taitu Betul. Thanks for recognizing her achievements and talking about her which is a rare case among Ethiopians.
Ethiopia is a fake country with a false name; its correct name is Abyssinia. The barbaric Amhara and Tigray tribes of the tiny early 19th century Abyssinian kingdom invaded with the help of the English and the French a great number of lands that they subsequently annexed, subjugating various Hamitic – Kushi'tic and Nilo-Saharan nations.
By renaming their colonial state as ´Ethiopia", the Amhara and Tigray Tewahedo (Monophysitic) Abyssinians tried to usurp a historical name that does not belong to them but to today´s Sudan and to the modern Kushi'tic nations of Sudan and Abyssinia. They did this in order to fallaciously portray their genocidal state, and use a national name that serves as ideal coverage of their hideous tyranny and malignant intentions.
Ethiopia signifies Hamitic – Kushi'tic identity, culture and historical tradition, but today´s fake Ethiopia is a monstrous tyranny evolving around a counterfeit axe, namely the imposition of a Semitic, Abyssinian identity, culture and historical tradition on all the subjugated Hamitic – Kushi'tic and Nilo-Saharan nations.
Whereas the aforementioned makes already of this fake Ethiopian tyranny a racist state far worse than Nazi Germany, there is a religious dimension of the tyranny as well.
Not all the Amhara and the Tigray Abyssinians are Monophysitic (heretics who are not accepted as Christians by the Roman Catholic Church); ca. 35 to 40% of the Abyssinians are Muslims, who have irrevocably rejected the disreputable trash of Kebra Negast, the 13th century bogus-text of Satanist monks who composed a vicious, heretical version of the Bible. The Abyssinian Muslims have been greatly marginalized and deprecated in Abyssinia by the hysterically anti-Islamic regime of the Amhara and Tigray Tewahedo (Monophysitic) Ethiopianists who are the world´s worst terrorists and most inhuman gangsters.
All equations made, only 18% of Abyssinia´s population supports the nightmare of the Satanic Ethiopian unitary state, which institutionalized race-based odium, unpunished crime, racism, and barbarism. They are still divided into Monophysitic Amhara Ethiopianists and Monophysitic Tigray Ethiopianists, and because of this division, we can safely assess that the governmental party (representing the latter group) gets in true numbers the support of less than 6% of the country´s population, whereas the opposition reflects the wishes of slightly more than 10% of the country´s population.
Due to institutionalized terror, the ruling Monophysitic Tigray Ethiopianists will prevail over their opponents whose electoral basis is twice as large as the ruling party´s. This terror is supported by the European Union and the disreputable criminals who rule Paris and London, fooling the administrations of European countries with no colonial past.
In fact, the entire survival of this execrable and evil felony of Ethiopia has been due only to Freemasonic support provided by the colonial regimes of England, France and America. Today´s elections are not elections but a crime and a declaration of war against the subjugated nations whose identity, culture, historical heritage and rich natural resources are targeted with extinction by the genocide perpetrators Monophysitic Tigray Ethiopianists, who get the shameful support of the European Union.
The palace once Empress Taitu roamed is now contaminated by the "Leba" & " Molefa'ta" Azeb. At one point there was a talk that she would be the female PM of Ethiopia, and behind the curtain will be her husband…..
the first and most important thing we should have learnt from the war and unmentioned was the struggle and good-willing of the tigrian people,the tigrian people has a great contributon to defeat the enemy since his region had been attacked by italy mosoloni who had interesting to destroy orthodox chiristianity..2nd the military strategy and spionage of awalom and ras alula,if these heroes fighters had never been,ethiopian would have defeated or surrendered,and taitu and minilik were nothing with out them…history tells tigrians are the one who defeated turky, dirbush and egypt so many times…therefore even in adua war were so partisian….may god blessand bless this historical places for ever
our ethiopian women are stronger than 10 men. zerrrafff they only give birth to lions. zeerrrraff they die for honor and country zerrafff
I've read many books about the Adwa war and about King Menelik Queen Taitu.
But the way you put it is very interesting to see it from different angels.
In theory:
Patriotism is a feeling of pride and love for one's country. Common acts of patriotism include erecting a flag of one's country in the home or yard, decorating one's car with as many flags as possible, and singing national tunes!
However, a deeper look into the "patriotic" mentality reveals something more complex and disturbing then the aforementioned phenomena. Why should anyone feel the need to exalt his own country over another? What is so special about his country that makes it so that he is "proud to be a (insert random nationality here)"? And what exactly is he proud of? Is patriotism being proud of one's heritage? If this is the case, then there should be no need to masquerade symbols of pride, for that is just arrogance! It is analogous to a situation where a man is very proud of his personal accomplishments. The man constantly walks around singing about his accomplishments, wearing clothing representing his accomplishments, and even writing books about his accomplishments! Is this not arrogance? Is this necessary? Rather, the man should be inwardly happy about his personal accomplishments, but should carry on with his business without boasting. Just as, in any country, a person should not become "patriotic," but should rather hold an inward respect for his country, equal to his respect for other countries. Because aren't all men created equal? And accordingly, culture, a creation of man, and religion, though somewhat more dubiously, a creation of man, are all equal. And there is no need for the exaltation of any particular nationality in any way, shape, or form.
In reality:
Patriotism is perhaps THE single most effective political tool (though arguably less than religion). This concept of patriotism, of being proud of one's country, is used to control and condition the opinions of the general masses. For just one example of many, consider this:
Sympathizing with a little Iraqi child whose entire family was killed during the US invasion is unpatriotic. And if not unpatriotic, it is at least unimportant compared to the death of a US soldier, because God knows that American lives are more important than any other life!
Politicians will use patriotism to breed resentment to other races and nationalities, and to justify certain actions that otherwise would not be tolerated. It is important to understand that patriotism is also frequently used to "bind" a person to his country, and in doing so, stifle dissent, and make it generally unacceptable. Basically patriotism is a tool to make the general populace have a single opinion that is supplementary to the actions (or future actions) of the politicans in power at the time.
Let's be individuals! Let's not be sheep to be herded by the shephard that is "patriotism"!
Say, Ethiopia, not Africa. Stop confusing. Africa is the big Continent, not a Country. If you want, say Africa, when it comes to starvation and Civil-Wars in Ethiopia.
It sounds like, Nazret is Manipulated and fooled by Slave descendants, the same as Ghanaians fooled Meles Zenawi, to raised and mounted the Ghanian Man at the new African building.
Yes indeed. This victory is proud for the true Ethiopians,but for those who betrayed and sided with the enemy is shame and put them with the scum of history. I wonder why this mercenary and his thugs running around to rewright the history.
wow the great Tribe of Amhare dies for the soverinthy of ehiopia on the other side the great tribe of Tigre sale egg for italy army what a shame
Thanks to Menlik & Taitu, I'm proudly African.
Even if Taitu was a brave lady (queen) compared from all of our royal women, the writer of this article seems to have a hidden political agenda undermining the real hero Menelike(Emperor),may be a regional politics(Gonder Vs Shewa)????
Living in the past glory LOL… I guess you need something to cheer you up. Just FYI it is 2012.

The world-renowned pop rock band, previously known as Kara's Flowers, has certainly got their hands full this year. They have just recently announced that they are once again working on a new album. Aside from that however, the group will also have a tour to handle. The five-man band will be playing under the heat of the summer on their outdoor summer tour. According to the Grammy-winning band, the tour will kick off when they headline the 2013 Honda Civic Tour in the first of August. It will be held at St. Louis and will feature American Idol, Kelly Clarkson. There will be 31 date tours in total with the last one set for San Diego in October.
"I think the live outdoor kind of summer vibe is always different than the indoor arena tour because there's less emphasis on production and more on live music," Maroon 5 lead vocalist Adam Levine states his enthusiasm for the upcoming tour. "It's kind of the purist form of a tour 'cause there's not too many bells and whistles."
Maroon 5 acknowledges that the success of their latest album "Overexposed??? is what has driven their popularity to a higher level today. The aforementioned album was their fourth since their debut and their most successful thus far. It carried a number of singles that gained utmost commercial success such as "Payphone,??? "One More Night,??? and "Daylight.???
"It's so amazing to have an album people connect with and embrace. It's a dream come true. It's hard to believe to have lighting strike twice and three times and four times," Levine speaks for Maroon 5 about Overexposed. "We're having a moment. A good moment." He also says that Maroon 5 is collaboratively working together in order to follow up on the success of their fourth album stating, "We're just getting started. We've got some great songs in the can." The band's guitarist, James Valentine also notes that their music style has developed a darker tune so they are planning to go back to their original roots which made their debut album "Songs about Jane??? a great success in the past.
Starting out as four-man group, the band had their early start in their music bit as Kara's Flowers. The name was inspired by a girl whom the group collectively had a crush on. The four founding members were Adam Levine, Jessie Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick. It was during their high school years, in 1994, when the band was formed. In 1997, the band released the album The Fourth World after signing to Reprise Records. After an unsuccessful first shot, the band parted but later reunited with a new member and a new name, Maroon 5. Setting their band on a new direction, they soon captivated the music scene with their debut album Songs about Jane which has 12 songs in total including "She Will Be Loved??? and "Harder to Breathe.??? They later followed up with "It Won't Be Soon Before Long,??? "Hands All Over??? and "Overexposed,??? leading to their immense popularity today.
Maroon 5 would be in the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival which would be held this end of April up to May. Catch them by getting your Maroon 5 tickets from Ticket Broker.

DOHA: Voters are increasingly disenchanted with Central Municipal Council (CMC) due to its status as a consultative body with no executive powers.
Al Sharq said it made a follow up of several civic constituencies and spoke with a cross-section of voters. Many seem to be unhappy with the representative body as their expectations from members they chose have not been met election after election.
The CMC was first elected in early 1999. It has 29 members representing as many constituencies.
Election is held every four years. It is a male-dominated body and has a lone woman councillor — Sheikha Al Jefairi, who represents the Old Airport area. This is not her first term.
The constituencies have been re-demarcated recently due to a rapid shift in the population as some had less number of voters compared to others.
The next election is due next year. But not many voters are enthusiastic about registering in the voter lists of the new constituencies, the daily said.
It said voter registration was poor in the elections for the third and fourth terms of the CMC.
"People aren't happy as their expectations from councillors have not been met since its status remains consultative with no executive powers," said the daily.
So, some 80 percent of councillors might not be willing to re-contest the coming election as their chances of win would be low due to the newly demarcated constituencies.
Due to the re-demarcation, many sitting members would lose their loyal constituents, so they might not seek re-election. "We might see many new faces in the CMC after the election for the fifth term next year," said the daily.
Councillor Mubarak Fraish, from Gharrafa constituency, however, told this newspaper he wondered how Al Sharq concluded that some 80 percent of members will not seek re-nomination. "Seeking re-election, obviously, depends on the individual member's choice."

Barbeque fans spoke, and the winner of this year's Harvest Festival Barbeque Contest is Lowcountry Street Eats.
The Harvest Festival, held at Mullet Hall Equestrian Center, hosted its second annual barbeque contest on Nov. 2. Six restaurants and food trucks participated, vying for the title of Best Barbeque at the Harvest Festival, and providing samples of their recipe throughout the day. Then, attendees were able to vote on their favorite barbeque on site. This year's winner was local food truck Lowcountry Street Eats, who was awarded a $500 cash prize.
Lowcountry Street Eats' winning barbeque featured a tasty pulled pork recipe complete with their signature sauce. The sauce, referred to as "a balsamic espresso barbeque," is a break from traditional sauces of the Lowcountry, but a perfect match to the smoky flavors of Lowcountry Street Eats' smoked pork and chicken recipes.
Lowcountry Street Eats owner Allen Kornahrens grew up on both James and Johns Islands and says he has loved cooking since spending his childhood watching his uncle prepare fresh-caught shrimp. A former long-time employee of various local restaurants, Kornahrens opened his food truck in November 2012, with barbeque as its main feature. Lowcountry Street Eats' barbeque can be sampled via their pulled pork plate, sandwich or sliders. Other staples at the truck include the BBQ Sundae (pulled pork layered with sauce and mashed potatoes in a sundae cup) and "The Archie," an old-fashioned bacon double cheeseburger. Created using a burger press, The Archie is named after Kornahrens' great grandfather, who came up with the recipe at his concession stand at the Folly Beach Fishing Pier in the 1950s. A smaller version of the burger, "The Nellie," is named after Archie's wife and is available as a slider.
"Our truck is just an expression of our life here in the Lowcountry," says Kornahrens. "I grew up muckin' in the pluff mud and riding through the woods on horseback, then coming home to family and great food - standing around barbeque pits and peelin' shrimp."
The truck is also known for its hand-cut fries, fresh house-made slaw, shrimp and grits, shrimp and blue crab pasta, basil sweet tea, and its Southern slider menu. In addition to a variety of pulled pork choices, slider options at Lowcountry Street Eats include a Smoked Pulled Buffalo Chicken Slider, a Smoked Pulled BBQ Chicken Slider, the Nellie Cheeseburger Slider, the Michelle Pimento Cheeseburger Slider, the Parmesan Egg Salad & Bacon Slider, the Fried Bologna & Bacon Slider and the Banana Bacon Peanut Butter Honey Slider.
The festival's was the first barbeque contest Lowcountry Street Eats had entered. "To have been judged by the people and come out on top means the world to us," says Kornahrens. "We love being part of this community and always have. Our food just feels like home to me."
Kornahrens is married with a 3-year-old daughter, Abbie Rose. His wife Michelle, a Hanahan native, is an MUSC nurse who also works at the food truck in her spare time and has been deemed as "everyone favorite order taker." The truck can be found stationed throughout the Lowcountry on a regular basis. For details on the Lowcountry Street Eats food truck and where it can be found, visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/LowcountryStreetEats.
In addition to the barbeque cookoff, the Harvest Festival also featured live bluegrass music, plenty of other foods for sale, a crafters' market, hay rides and many family-friendly activities. The Harvest Festival is brought to you by your Charleston County Parks and sponsor Southern Eagle Distributing.

The White House Briefing Room
August 17, 1998
THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ______________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release August 17, 1998 REMARKS BY MIKE MCCURRY IN PRESS GAGGLE The Briefing Room 11:48 A.M. EDT ...................... Q North Korea nuclear facilities -- any comment? MR. MCCURRY: Well, predictably, there's not much that I can say to comment on intelligence reports that appear in newspapers. But I will say the following: that we believe that the DPRK remains in compliance with the agreed framework. That's the October 1994 Geneva agreed framework. And we continue to monitor the situation closely. Under the agreed framework reached between the United States and North Korea, North Korea, the DPRK, agreed to freeze and eventually dismantle its plutonium production and to eventually comply with its obligations under the NPT -- the Nonproliferation Treaty. Since 1994, the North's reactor has been shut down, no plutonium has been reprocessed, and these facilities are and have been open to monitoring by the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency. In return, the United States has agreed to conduct a certain program of activity under the agreed framework and we have met our obligations. We think it's important for the North to meet its obligations. Of course, we would be concerned if North Korea tried to establish a plutonium production elsewhere. We will continue to monitor North Korean activity closely and will be discussing with our allies any changes that we see on the ground. Q Mike, have you or other members of the senior staff been informed that the President will be abandoning his longstanding denials of a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky? MR. MCCURRY: No. As I indicated earlier, we have not been informed about the substance of his testimony. .................... END 11:15 A.M. EDT #530-08/17

Every birth is special. We hope you choose Summa Akron City Hospital's Birthing Center to welcome your special delivery into the world.
Our team's goal is to provide the comfort, convenience and peace of mind you expect from one of the region's safest places in which to give birth, as demonstrated by three consecutive awards from the Ohio Patient Safety Institute. With 24/7 house physician and anesthesia coverage, we're ready to provide the support you need when you need it.
As the first hospital in the Akron-Canton area and one of just nine throughout the state of Ohio that holds Baby-Friendly® status, Summa Akron City Hospital delivers on its pledge to support a healthy beginning for mothers and babies by providing the best possible breastfeeding support for new moms and their infants.
Summa Akron City's Maternity Services earned the prestigious Baby-Friendly designation from Baby-Friendly USA, this country's authority for the implementation of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, a global program sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The five-year designation comes after a rigorous review that is based on the "Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding," a specific set of evidence-based criteria that are proven to improve breastfeeding success and, ultimately, health outcomes.
Summa's initiatives in this area extend beyond Baby-Friendly, as the hospital has participated in the "Best Fed Beginnings" program supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Summa Health is also well-known for its skin-to-skin program, wherein a newborn remains in close contact with the mother for the first hour after birth, which helps regulate body temperature, slows the baby's heart rate and promotes a smooth transition for babies from the womb to the outside world. Summa is also a major advocate of 24-hour "rooming-in" with the mom and her newborn.
For women who choose to bottle-feed formula to their newborns, Summa also provides a very supportive culture, encouraging, among many things, skin-to-skin contact, rooming in and feeding on hunger cues.
Thanks to the commitment of our nurses, we have achieved Magnet® status at Summa Akron City Hospital. Magnet® status is considered the "gold standard" of care, and only 7% of hospitals nationwide achieve this credentialing.
To communicate your wishes during labor and delivery of your baby, we encourage you to complete Summa's birth preferences form.
If you have additional questions, contact our Childbirth Specialist at (234) 312-5194 .

Following a scientific analysis that suggested its collection of ancient, Trojan-style gold jewelry was looted from northwestern Turkey, the University of Pennsylvania announced this week that it had lent the 24 items to that country for an indefinite period.
In exchange, the Turkish government pledged to lend other artifacts for a one-year exhibit at Penn's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, including priceless items from Gordion, seat of power of King Midas. The country also promised support for ongoing excavations by Penn scholars within its borders.
The exchange represents an amicable agreement in a realm often marked by rancor, as countries rich in history have become increasingly assertive in seeking the return of artifacts excavated decades ago. Turkey in particular is known for its aggressive tactics, at times refusing to allow foreign museums to borrow items for exhibit unless they agree to return ones already in their possession.

…as FIFA ranks Nigeria 33rd
Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroun and Ghana gained slots in the FIFA/Coca- Cola World Ranking released yesterday, but no African country will be seeded when the draw for the Brazil 2014 World Cup draw is conducted on December 6. Nigeria rose three rungs to place 33rd globally and fourth on the continent, while Cote d'Ivoire retains first position in Africa with their 17th spot in the world ranking.
The Elephants are leading Black Stars, Desert Foxes of Algeria, Super Eagles and Indomitable Lions among the five teams almost certain to qualify for next year's Mundial, but none will be seeded.
FIFA said in a statement yesterday that 69 World Cup qualifying matches played since the last edition of the ranking, as well as the 20 friendlies and 10 qualifying matches for continental competitions were used in determining the latest table.
"The distribution of teams in Pot 1 for the World Cup Final Draw on December 6 is as follows: Brazil, together with Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium and Switzerland are definitely in Pot 1.
If Uruguay win the intercontinental play-off against Jordan, they will also go into the first pot. However, if Jordan win, the decimal points difference between the Netherlands (1135.95) and Italy (1135.61) will see the Netherlands take the last place in Pot 1," the statement said. In the Top 10, only Spain's position as number one remains unchanged, while Germany have pushed Argentina out of second place.
New entries into the top ten are Switzerland (7th, up 7) and England (10th, up 7), both thanks to their recent strong performances in the final group games in the World Cup preliminary competition. Italy, meanwhile, have paid heavily for their draw against Armenia, dropping four places to eighth in the ranking. The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published after completion of the World Cup preliminary competition on November 28, 2013. Meanwhile, a further 20 teams have now qualified for the World Cup in addition to hosts Brazil.
They are: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, England, Germany, Honduras, Iran, Italy, Japan, Korea Republic, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and the USA.

In transactions announced on Tuesday, the Packers promoted White and tight end Jake Stoneburner from the practice squad. To make room, they placed Randall Cobb on injured reserve/designated for return and guard/center Greg Van Roten was put on season-ending injured reserve.
Also, the Packers signed linebacker Victor Aiyewa to the practice squad.
Cobb was a logical candidate to use their lone short-term injured reserve designation. He reportedly will need six to eight weeks to heal and rehab from his broken fibula; he'll have to spend six weeks on the injured list.
White (6-0 182) is an undrafted rookie from Louisiana Tech. After a strong offseason and solid training camp in which he caught eight passes for 90 yards in the preseason, White spent the first six weeks of the season on the practice squad.
Stoneburner (6-3, 249) is an undrafted rookie from Ohio State. He caught three passes for 12 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown, during the preseason. He also spent the first six weeks of the season on the practice squad.
Aiyewa (6-1, 237) is a first-year player from Washington. As a senior in 2010, he tallied 83 tackles, including 22.5 for losses. He spent training camp with Tampa Bay in 2011.
With Van Roten on injured reserve, the Packers have Marshall Newhouse and Lane Taylor as backups. With White, the Packers have a four-man receiver corps of Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Jarrett Boykin and White. Jones' availability for Sunday is in doubt due to a knee injury, meaning the Packers could be especially thin. With Stoneburner, the Packers now have five tight ends with Jermichael Finley, Andrew Quarless, Brandon Bostick and Ryan Taylor.

A French firm and Santee Cooper are partners in a $140 million project in Allendale and Dorchester counties that now makes electricity using wood waste as fuel.
The effort generates 35 megawatts from facilities near Harleyville and Allendale. The power is fed into the state-owned utility's transmission system under a 30-year power purchase agreement.
The project marks the first biomass venture in the U.S. for San Diego-based EDF Renewable Energy, an arm of French firm EDF Energies Nouvelles. It also operates wind and solar projects.
Both counties have reliable wood supplies for the "woody biomass" project which is expected to bring economic benefits to rural areas through the trucking and wood supply industries, according to a joint statement from the firms.
During construction, the facilities generated more than 250 construction jobs. They also created 38 full-time positions in some of the state's most economically challenged regions.
The projects use a "well-proven" biomass design with a stoker boiler supplied by Factory Sales Engineering and a steam turbine generator supplied by General Electric. EDF Renewable Services will provide long-term operations and maintenance, officials said.
"Biomass is poised to be a key renewable base load energy resource for South Carolina and we are pleased to work with Santee Cooper on this excellent opportunity to produce economically attractive renewable energy," said Tristan Grimbert, EDF president and CEO.
"Santee Cooper was the first utility in the state to deliver electricity to all our customers from new renewable resources 12 years ago," said Lonnie Carter, Santee Cooper's president and CEO.
"Today represents a new milestone for us and for South Carolina. The partnership forged with EDF Renewable Energy helps advance Santee Cooper's role as the state's leader in generating renewable energy," he said.

The Harrisburg Authority, the City of Harrisburg and the city bureau of water have issued a boil-water advisory for homes along the 500 block of Maclay Street and homes in the 2000 block of Wood Street.
The water bureau said a new hydrant and line were placed in the area on Wednesday leading to a sudden loss in local system pressure, which can lead to an increased chance that the water may contain disease-causing organisms.
Homes of residents affected by the advisory are 501 to 546 Maclay St. and 2001 to 2019 Wood St.
The advisory is expected to end sometime on Thursday after testing conducted on water from the new equipment shows no signs of contamination, officials said.
For more information, please contact the City of Harrisburg, Bureau of Water at 717-238-8725 ext. 241.

Let us all know what its like. I for one am a massive fan of lost, and have been watching the trailers on youtube. The graphics look great, the only thing that worries me is the storyline. Also most tv/movie games are rubbish. Hopefully lost will turn that around though hey
