7 Things Historical Women Wore Under Their Skirts
Underwear historians the world over were shaken to their foundation garments last year when what appears to be a 15th century bra and underpants were discovered under the floorboards of an Austrian castle. Bras and underpants had no business existing in that place during that time. It is true that Western-style underwear was starting to evolve in that century—and before that clothes were mostly for not freezing to death and few people had time to fuss with dainties—but historically it was heavy duty stuff, stays, corsets, and thick full body chemises (nightgowns). The existence of that displaced lingerie is baffling. But the undergarments we have thorough historic records of are pretty baffling, too. Here is a brief history of some of the fantastic appurtenances women wore under their skirts.
1. Pantalets with Open Crotch

Crotchless panties are not a new thing. They are only a salacious version of what had been the style of women's underwear for centuries. Whatever form of pantalets, pantalettes, drawers, or pantaloons a woman wore, they were usually open from the thigh up. This was for a variety of reasons. Bunching up all the yardage in even the humblest dress of centuries past to try and get a comfortable position over the chamber pot left no hands to pull (or "draw," thus the term "drawers") down underwear. Plus it was considered healthy and hygienic; a lady's bits needed proper ventilation. It wasn't until the mid-19th century buttons began to appear on the crotch of drawers, giving ladies the option to close up shop if they wished.
2. Panniers

Fashion has never been about practicality. Panniers (or side hoops, or hoop petticoat, or wide damn dress thingy) were all the rage around Marie Antoinette's era, in the 18th century. It was a support structure a woman wore around her waist to make her dress spread out flat and wide. A very wealthy lady would be one too wide to walk through her own doors. The term likely comes from a similar French word, paniers, which refers to wicker baskets slung on either side of a donkey.
3. Dimity pocket

Women have always felt a need to haul junk with them when they go places. By the 1800s, handbags were coming into fashion. Before that there were dimity pockets. "All old ladies wore these pockets & carried their keys in them," wrote the granddaughter of John Adams in a note describing the one belonging to her grandma. Plain ones like these were worn under the skirt, likely accessible through a discreet slit in the folds of the fabric. Shortly after women thought to cut out the middleman and began sewing the pocket directly into the skirt.
4. Cage Crinoline

For a brief, beautiful time in the early 1800s, there was a sort of Greek revival, and dresses became loose, and sweetly simple (think Jane Austen). But freedom of movement and properly expanding lungs can't stay fashionable forever. Regency style faded into Victorian, and once again a woman's underpinnings required the infrastructure to rival a corbel arch bridge. The cage crinoline, rings of steel attached together with string, help distribute the immense weight of the ever expanding gowns around the wearer's waist. They also allowed a woman to move her legs more freely without getting tangled in petticoats and underskirts. This, paired again with the trusty corset, prepared women for the industrial age by encouraging them to sit very still on stools and not waste precious air talking.
5. The Bustle

Does this dress make my butt look big? No? Well I'll have to do something about that. As the 19th century wore on, the Scarlett O'Hara bell-shaped crinolines began to shrink. But the sexy hourglass silhouette was still something women wanted to show off. The corset kept the top half of the body appropriately squeezed, but how is a lady supposed to flaunt the junk in her trunk under all that fabric? The bustle, which came in many forms, kept her ornately draped bottom from dragging or wilting during the day.
6. Menstrual Belts
I know. But buck up, you can handle this. The evolution of how women tended to that particular sanitation issue is a fascinating one, and it is something women wore under their skirts. Well...at least after the 1800s. Before that, historians aren't positive, because it wasn't the sort of thing that got written down—but their best guess is that most women wore nothing. I know. I know. If it comforts you, know that women menstruated less back in the day, because they were pregnant more often and under-nourished. Moving on.
Before the joyous revolution of the 1970s which brought us sticky adhesives to keep pads in place, more creativity was called for. The menstrual belt. A belt around the waist with dangling buckles, to which could be connected a strap, which held in place a pad the size of a phone book (technology was not as absorbent back in the day). Women ruled empires, walked across continents, and wrote classic novels while latched into those things.
7. Briefs

According to the Museum of Menstruation, women's underwear as we know it today (close fitting briefs), didn't exist until the 1930s. Of course there was the pair in the Austrian floorboards, but it is safe to assume that, tucked away as they were, they did not influence 20th century fashions. The first mention of "briefs" (so brief! Barely pantaloons at all!) the museum could find was in the Sears Roebuck catalog of 1935, where special mention was made that they were "every day" briefs. This harkens back to the nuanced world of menstruation containment. Before women wore fitted underpants every day, they wore them only monthly, to keep pads in place. Some historians believe the menstrual brief was designed based on diapers, which in turn inspired the prototype of all modern women's underwear.

Seagrasses are grass-like flowering plants that live completely submerged in marine and estuarine waters. Although seagrasses
occur throughout the coastal areas of Florida, they are most abundant in Florida Bay and from Tarpon Springs northward to
Apalachee Bay in the Gulf which are two of the most extensive seagrass beds in continental North America. Seagrasses occur
in protected bays and lagoons and also in deeper waters along the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. The depth at which
seagrasses occur is limited by water clarity because most species require high levels of light.
Florida's approximately 2.2 million acres of seagrasses perform many significant functions.
The canopy of seagrass protects smaller marine animals, including the young of such species as drums, sea bass, snappers and
grunts from larger predators. Some animals, such as manatees, urchins, conches and sea turtles, eat seagrass blades. Other
animals derive nutrition from eating algae and small animals that live upon seagrass leaves. Bottlenose dolphins and a variety
of wading and diving birds also use seagrass beds as feeding grounds. Seagrass-based detritus formed by the microbial
breakdown of leaves and roots is also an important food source.
Although approximately 52 species of seagrasses exist worldwide, only seven species are found in Florida's marine waters. Six
of these are widespread in Florida and extend beyond its borders.

Durex denies partnership with Daft Punk
Listen to Daft Punk on iHeartRadio
Durex and Daft Punk may not be joining forces after all. Reports of a possible partnership to release a line of condoms promoting Daft Punk's single "Get Lucky" surfaced earlier this week after DJ Diplo posted a photo of packaging that featured the cover art for the duo's smash single.
However, a rep from the condom company tells MTV News that rumors of a partnership are false. He says there's "no Durex promotion or partnership with Daft Punk" in any of their markets. The rep adds that Durex "is not posting free packs" to Daft Punk.

It is a common thought that good art cannot dwell in small, isolated towns; which is why bands aspire to venture into the world-class cities of New York, Chicago, and Toronto to find cause and effect. But as the metropolitan scenes of the US and Canada restlessly mixed and mashed music styles at the turn of the century, the Michaelis brothers and their high school friend, Jason Rosewell, were honing in on classic rock innovators, like the Beatles, in their small town in Parry Sound, ON.
As they began writing music for themselves, they focused on the simple elements of pop-rock songs: Sing-able choruses; poetic lyrics; classic song structure. As they developed their musicianship, they eventually invited Kevin Swartwood to join the band and Red Umbrella was officially born: Jeremy Michaelis singing and playing guitar; Dennis Michaelis playing lead guitar and keys; Kevin Swartwood thumping on the bass; and Jason Rosewell hitting the drums.
Their first album, "Wishing For Boardwalk", was almost entirely self-recorded and produced in a studio that they built above the Michaelis' family garage. After touring with the new songs and playing in such places as CBGB's in New York, the band was eventually picked up by indie-label 7 Spin Music and the album was distributed by Sony/BMG.
Like in the classic game of Monopoly, "Wishing For Boardwalk" explores themes of progress in a capitalistic society, but also begs the common man for self-examination. Listeners have found the lyrics to be strong enough to stand alone as poetry: "I glanced as much as it took/ His stare as long as a thousand-page book/ I must have dreamt that these steps are in the dark" (from "Trade Your Dreams"); "Lets see where this leads/ Follow the path through the trees/ There she's crying on her knees/ saying 'no one's ever pleased'" (from "Slide").
With minimal production, the simplicity of "Wishing For Boardwalk" displayed Red Umbrella's knack for solid song writing and the bands over-arching skill as musicians. The sound is straight-forward and is reflective of their live show.
After playing over 400 dates in a four year period and moving down to Valparaiso, IN, the band went into hibernation from touring and began focusing on their second album, "Living and Surviving". Reaching higher than their first-album, it was entirely self-recorded and produced by the Michaelis brothers. Scheduled to release in November of 2008 on 7 Spin Music, listeners will find a band that is growing in maturity on all fronts.
Sonically, "Living and Surviving's" production incorporates synth and sampling in the majority of its songs, giving Red Umbrella a new, urban feel. The album stage has even been opened for good friend and Texas-based Emcee, Playdough, to make a guest appearance on "Boompop". The songs, overall, are catchy, memorably and memorable, but by no means shallow.
"Living and Surviving" visits the idea of self-realization with new lyrical avenues of story telling. The opening track, "Prison Side" is the tale of a judgmental person ironically finding judgment upon himself: "Played his cards well, hit a land slide/ Called a losing game, bookie shouts your name/ Pulled your pockets out, pay up just the same". "Crazy" is a poem from the situations in C.S. Lewis' book, "Out of the Silent Planet", taking listeners right into the story of captivity in intergalactic space.
With their new album complete, Red Umbrella is ready to hit the road again and help listeners take a moment to reflect and figure out if they are living, or merely surviving.

Uterine fibroids, also referred to as uterine myomas) are non-cancerous tumors that grow within the muscle tissue of the uterus. As many as 20% to 50% women between the age group of 18 to 40 suffer from the condition, but not all cases warrant treatment.
It may be as tiny as a coin or it may grow to the size of a watermelon, making people think the lady is 6/7 months pregnant! There may be one big fibroid or several small ones.
Though the exact causes are not known, family history and hormonal imbalances are said to be the main causes for the same.
Types of Uterine Fibroids
The four types are:
- Subserosal Uterine Fibroids: Develops outside the uterus and continues to grow.
- Intramural Uterine Fibroids: The most common type that lead to pregnancy like tummy. They develop within the uterus wall and continue to expand.
- Submucosal Uterine Fibroids: Because these develop within the uterus lining, they are most likely to be the cause of heavy flow during periods.
- Pedunculated Uterine Fibroids: These grow on the inner or outer side of a small stalk connecting to the uterus.
Common Symptoms:
- An enlarged uterus is the most common symptom. It is often mistaken for general weight gain or pregnancy.
- Prolonged and painful menstrual cycle, that is many times irregular.
- Urinary incontinence and constant urge to urinate.
- Pelvic pressure.
- Pressure on the bowels leading to constipation.
- Pain during intercourse.
General treatment
If you find out that you have fibroids during an examination or if you visit a doctor with any of these symptoms, they will most likely ask for an ultrasound or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which will confirm the type of fibroid and the extent of your problem. Treatment includes non-invasive-focused ultrasound surgery.
Treatment with Homeopathy:
One of the best advantages of choosing Homeopathy is that it works without side effects. It addresses the issue rather than the symptom. A surgical procedure mentioned in general treatment does remove the fibroids but there is no guarantee that they won't grow back as the underlying issue of hormonal imbalance remains.
During a clinical study of the effects of Homeopathy on fibroids, 85% patients showed improvement and 48% people had complete fibroid removal.
Treatment: There are medicines in Homeopathy that can treat uterine fibroids, cervical fibroids and help maintain normal hormonal balance in females. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Homeopath.
An idle mind is a devil's workshop. When there is too much time on your hands with nothing to do, you end up thinking about things which are not going well, leading to depression. Come to think of it, if there is nothing that you can do to improve it, there is no point wasting time over it. On the other hand, if there is something to improve the situation, just go ahead and do it, so everybody involved is happy. However, if there are too many other factors which are beyond control, then you need to see how to change your outlook towards it.
One such effective way is to keep yourself busy and distract yourself from it. The following are some simple measures, which can be very effective in dealing with stress.
- Sleep it off: One of the main reasons for depression is the physical exhaustion and lack of good rest. So, it is good once in a while to just sleep it off and give your body the much deserved rest. This gives the brain a chance to begin to heal and feel better.
- Clean up the house: The home or the space you enter into indirectly indicates your state of mind. A clean home and workspace means that much less clutter in the brain. Clean out the closet, give away your old stuff, and in the process, you would end up feeling good about having helped somebody. You will also realize how much excess stuff you have collected over the years. Stacked up in the attic and cartons, these were meant for use on "some fine day", which never seemed to arrive.
- Exercise: Force yourself to exercise. While initially it would be an ordeal, gradually you will enjoy it. Exercise also releases chemicals in the brain, which make you feel good about yourself. In addition, the physical benefits will start to show up, leaving you feeling elated and in a chirpier mood.
- Travel: When you go solo traveling, the amount of time you spend with yourself just increases. The changed surroundings will help you understand yourself better and come to terms with things that can be under your control. You learn to let go of things and come to terms with life. If time and money are limitations, go out and explore places in your own surrounding city or town. You will realize how little you know the city or town you live in.
- Hobbies: Whether it is learning to play guitar or speak Spanish, pick something that you have always wanted to do over the years and work at it. You will see the depression vanish in no time. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Psychologist.
Of late, are you experiencing suicidal thoughts as a result of some severe trauma or loss in life? Suicidal thoughts may arise because of several reasons when you lose yourself totally and feel that you are not worthy enough for living in the world anymore. Such thoughts lead many people into actually committing suicide. Hence, you have to deal with suicidal thoughts carefully and prevent anything bad from happening.
Here are 10 useful ways through which you can deal with suicidal thoughts:
- Although you may feel like withdrawing yourself from all activities and socializing, it is important for you to talk to someone every day regarding your thoughts and what you are going through. Spend time with someone you trust. You can also call a crisis helpline and discuss your feelings.
- You have to develop an efficient safety plan. The plan must include the contact number of your doctor, friends and family who would help you during a crisis.
- Try to make a written schedule for yourself and follow it strictly. Keeping and maintaining a scheduled life is important for your mental health and will keep you diverted from suicidal or negative thoughts.
- Spend time in the sun and get into nature for at least one hour every day. This will help you to connect with something full of life and is important for eliminating suicidal tendencies.
- Daily exercise is also very important. You should exercise for 30 minutes every day. The bursts of activity and exertion will have a positive impact on your mind.
- You should devote your time for things which you like to do, but could never continue them in life. This will give you joy and a positive vibe, which is essential for fixing your mind.
- You should not forget about your personal goals. Think about the things you dreamt of doing, the places you planned to visit, and all the things in life you want to accomplish. This will bring back your hope of living in order to fulfill those goals.
- You should promise yourself not to do anything when you think of suicide. You need some distance between thoughts and actions. Promise yourself that you will not do anything stupid and will wait.
- Consuming alcohol and taking drugs can trigger your suicidal thoughts rapidly. Hence, you should not take these substances as an escape from your conflicting thoughts.
- It is also important for you to make your home safe. You should remove all the things, which you may use to hurt yourself such as knives, pills, razors or firearms. You should go to a safe place and avoid being alone when you experience suicidal thoughts. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Psychiatrist.
Are you planning on undertaking a botox treatment? Botox is a drug which is made from a neurotoxin. This is produced by the bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. Botox is used for medical purposes, commonly for treating muscular conditions. It is also used for cosmetic procedures, which help in removing wrinkles. This process is carried out by paralyzing the facial muscles temporarily. Botulinum toxin is also sold commercially under certain names.
Medical and Cosmetic Uses-
Botox is most commonly used as a treatment procedure for reducing the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles in middle-aged adults. It is also used for medical purposes, for the treatment of conditions such as eye squints, excessive sweating, leaky bladders and migraines. Botox is used for treating more than 20 medical conditions.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox or botulinum toxin is a very poisonous substance, and a single gram of it is capable of killing more than one million people. It is considered to be an effective therapeutic protein when used in ideal dosage, and frequency. It is used in several medical procedures and treatment therapies.
How is Botox Procedure Undertaken?
Botulinum toxin is administered by diluting the power in saline. It is injected directly into your neuro-muscular tissue. A duration of 24 to 72 hours is required for it to take effect. This time reflects the time required for disruption of the normal synaptosomal process of the body. It may take over five days for experiencing the full effects of botox. Botox must not be used in women who are pregnant or lactating, or by people having a previous allergic reaction to it.
Risk and Side-Effects:
Injections which contain botox are usually well tolerated. They have several side effects as well.
In some cases, a person may have a genetic predisposition which causes a mild, transient and unusual response to Botox. Some people who are receiving botox type A injections may develop antibodies to the toxins, which may make the treatment ineffective. In people who are using botox type B for cervical dystonia, antibody development may occur.
Along with the effects intended, botulinum toxin may lead to several other undesirable effects. They may include conditions such as transient numbness, headaches, malaise, mild cases of nausea, mild pain, local edema and erythema on the site of injection.
Temporary tiredness, fatigue or the paralysis of nearby musculature may also be experienced because of the reaction of the toxin.
Drooping or temporary upper lid and brow ptosis are also indicated.
Among the two types of botox treatments, the results from abobotulinum toxin A is considered to be more effective than onabotulinum toxin A treatment. Better results are experienced when the muscles are contracted instead of being at rest. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Cosmetic Physician.

A Pomona man's invention helped one man go where no human had gone before, at least by late 1932.
There wasn't anything really galactic about it, but pilot Paul Munro spent more than 37 consecutive hours aloft flying over Southern California.
He was credited as the first pilot ever to fly solo while his plane was refueled in the air, reported the Pomona Progress-Bulletin on Nov. 14, 1932.
Munro flew his Curtiss Robin Challenger alone in huge circles over Glendale and the San Fernando Valley for most of two days, refueling in the air eight times.
Munro's feat was a first because he did it with no one else aboard to handle the refueling hoses hanging down from another aircraft.
The whole point of the flight was to prove the success of a robotic device invented by Dr. C.H. Vance of Pomona. His automatic pilot equipment measured shifts in air passing over the wings to automatically adjust the monoplane in flight.
Vance was a bit of a mystery man. Other than details about Munro's two flights, we've been unable to run down any details about the Pomona inventor.
He and Munro first got in the limelight on Nov. 3 during a demonstration of the robotic equipment for newsreel cameras. MGM, Pathe, Fox and Paramount studio cameras filmed his flight above the Inland Valley, reported the Progress-Bulletin on the next day.
While aloft, Munro climbed out of the cockpit and moved near the tail of the plane. Showing off for the cameras, he dangled from a wing tip, demonstrating how Vance's equipment kept the aircraft stable and straight with no one at the controls.
After that successful flight, Munro and Vance prepared to break the world solo endurance record of 38 hours, accomplished by a larger aircraft which did not refuel aloft.
"He will have time to doze, read, handle the refueling hose and shave while the craft shuttles back and forth across the San Fernando Valley," said the newspaper.
Starting at now-gone Grand Central Airport in Glendale on Nov. 11, the first flight using Vance's automatic stabilizers ended after five hours due to a faulty gas pump.
The next day, Munro took off at 1 p.m., with Lloyd Downs of Pomona, himself a movie pilot, flying the refueling plane.
The United Press wire service said Munro was "resting leisurely" in his cockpit for 12 hours of flight until his fuel got low.
He made history when he got out of the cockpit "to grasp the hose let down by a refueling ship. Despite the weight of the pilot on the wing, the plane kept serenely on its course."
The Los Angeles Times reported a different kind of aerial delivery at sunset: "a dinner prepared for him by Edna May Cooper, co-holder of the women's endurance mark."
(Cooper and Bobbi Trout broke the world aircraft endurance record in early 1931 of more than 122 hours.)
The record effort fell just short when Munro's refueling plane couldn't find him in the second day. He was forced to land after 37 hours and 15 minutes in the air, missing the record by less than an hour.
Vance's device was declared a success, though it's hard to tell if it was adapted as aircraft technology has evolved.
While details about Vance are sparse, a reminder of that aerial event still exists.
Buyoutfootage.com, a outlet of old newsreel footage, offers for sale, "Dangles in Air to Prove Merits of Self-Flying Plane," a copy of the newsreel shot of Munro flying, and dangling from, the plane equipped with Vance's invention.
I GOT A NICE note from Claremont's Charles L. Zetterberg about last week's column on "Mother" Frances Eleanor Smith, the inspiration for Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation in Pomona.
He recalls meeting Smith and getting treatment with his brother in the early 1950s at Casa Colina's original location in Chino. Their cousin was treated there for polio.
His father, attorney Stephen Zetterberg, was a Pomona College classmate of Smith's daughter Eva Crittenden (and her husband, Abe)and was a key player in orchestrating the move of Casa Colina to its present site in Pomona. Charles' mother Connie often worked with the Crittendens at a camp in Northern California.
"Although he didn't speak of it much, I know Dad was very proud of his work over the years on behalf of Casa Colina, and fondly remembered Mother Smith," wrote Zetterberg.
"I recall visiting Mother Smith's Sumner Avenue home many times as a kid and being fascinated by a large waterwheel near a pond on that property."

Fox Attacks Help For Asylum-Seeking Refugees To Hype Terrorism Fears
Blog ››› ››› MICHELLE LEUNG
Fox News is attacking the Obama administration's new rules regarding asylum for refugees by portraying the move as an "open door policy" and an invitation for terrorism. In reality, refugees still have to pass "lengthy" background checks, and the government states it will only accept "individuals whom the United States does not consider threats."
On February 5, the Obama administration announced new immigration rules concerning political or war zone refugees. The changes were prompted by restrictive rules that have prevented nearly all asylum-seeking Syrians from entering the United States. Reuters reported that the changes will grant exemptions "on a case by case basis," for those seeking political asylum that do not pose a national security or public safety risk. The New York Times explained that "the exemptions apply if the refugees provided only minor material support, such as meals or medical aid, to armed groups that have not been officially designated as terrorist organizations, or if they gave such support under pressure."
Echoing Republican lawmakers, Fox has misleadingly portrayed these exemptions as an "open door policy" for refugees and misrepresented the definition of refugees with "limited terror connections" to spread unwarranted fears of increased terror attacks due to these new policies.
On February 7, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy interviewed Jessica Vaughn, director of policy studies at the nativist and anti-immigrant Center for Immigration Studies. Vaughn hyped fears that these exemptions could be given "to all applicants for any kind of visa or green card who have been identified as possibly supporting terrorism," while Doocy suggested that these exemptions could apply to someone who "was simply Bin Laden's au pair."
On February 8, Fox & Friends Saturday hosted Michael Cutler, who has an extensive history of association with anti-immigrant and nativist groups. Cutler is also a regular contributor to the white nationalist Social Contract Journal. During his Fox appearance, Cutler heavily criticized the exemptions and argued that "we must never allow compassion to compromise national security," while Fox News co-host Tucker Carlson suggested that these exemptions were made by the Obama administration to gain new voters.
But these exemptions are not an "open door policy" for potential terrorists. As Reuters reported, the "advocacy group Human Rights First said, for example, that the existing law had been invoked to bar a refugee who had been robbed of $4 and his lunch by armed rebels, and a florist who had sold bouquets to a group the United States had designated as a terrorist organization." Such standards have already barred thousands of people from refugee status.
The new rules still require refugees to pass eligibility requirement. The New York Times reported that "refugees have to pass through the lengthy existing series of criminal and national security background checks, lawyers said, and the exemptions do not come into play until the refugees have already passed all the other eligibility hurdles."
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told the Times that "these exemptions are for individuals whom the United States does not consider threats ... Nothing in these exemptions changes the rigorous, multilayered security screening we do."

GSA Announces 2002 Per Diem Rates for Federal TravelersRates Begin October 1, 2001 for Travel
August 31, 2001
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced changes in per diem rates for federal employees on official travel in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. The rates were published today in the Federal Register and posted on the GSA website at http://www.policyworks.gov/perdiem.
The GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy, which is in charge of setting the per diem rates for the continental United States, announced the following information regarding per diem rates for the fiscal year 2002:
Individual rates have been set for 423 higher cost cities. Lodging in these locations is paid by the government up to a set limit and reimbursement for meals and incidental expenses range from a low of $30 to a high of $46.
22% of the per diem rates increased over fiscal year 2001, 68% remained the same; and 10% decreased.
The Federal Premier Lodging Program (FPLP) is launched in Chicago, IL and Denver and Jefferson County, CO. The FY 2002 lodging rate for these locations reflects the FPLP approach.
The per diem rates for the balance of the top 75 destinations will remain at their current lodging rate until contracts are in place. Once contracts are in place in a particular destination, the per diem rate will change to reflect the new FPLP lodging rate.
Since the Winter Olympics will be taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah, area effective January 15 through February 28, 2002, the lodging peak season rate for Park City, Utah, of $169 will apply to the counties of Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, Summit, and Utah to provide for the reimbursement of Federal employees' expenses covered by the per diem.
The Federal Travel Regulation was revised in January 2000 to include separate treatment of conferences. The new policy allows conference planners to negotiate up to 25% more than the going lodging rate limit and allows the government to pay for light refreshments during conference breaks.
The GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy posts a listing of hotels that were surveyed and are at or below the lodging rate in their geographical area; additional properties can be added to the list if they offer federal travelers a room at or below the lodging rate for that geographical area (http://policyworks.gov/perdiem).
The federal per diem rates are based on a lodgings-plus system, whereby employees are reimbursed for the actual cost of lodging up to a set limit. In addition, they receive a fixed amount for meals and incidental expenses. GSA's per diem rates also apply to employees of certain government contractors when traveling in connection with federal contracts. The Department of Defense sets travel per diem rates for locations outside the continental United States (Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. territories and possessions) and the Department of State sets rates for international travel.
Federal Premier Lodging Program
In January 2000, GSA introduced its Federal Premier Lodging Program (FPLP). This program allows GSA to contract with hotels for guaranteed rooms at guaranteed rates at or below the established per diem rates. GSA has recently awarded contracts in Chicago, IL, Denver and Jefferson County, CO. By the end of 2001, GSA's goal is to have contracts in place for the top 75 destinations.
For more information regarding GSA travel programs, contact: Bill Rivers at (202) 208-7631.
National Travel Forum 2002: Excellence in Travel Achieving Results Together
The forum is scheduled for June 17 - June 20, 2002, in Nashville, TN at the Opryland Hotel. It is co-sponsored by the General Services Administration (GSA), the Interagency Travel Management Committee and Government Executive Magazine. Over 1,500 participants are expected to attend this national travel forum. GSA is waging an aggressive effort to reinvent and transform federal travel policy. This conference is just one example of GSA's collaborative approach to providing customer service and meeting face-to-face with the many customers, partners and stakeholders who work with GSA to change how the government does business. For more information and to register on-line visit: http://www.nationaltravel2002.org or call Peggy DeProspero at 202-501-2826.
[FPLP replaced by FedRooms, the GSA program that provides hotel accommodations at or below per diem for federal government travelers while on official business.]

A small elementary school in Corner Brook is preparing to adjust to declining enrolment by eliminating the homeroom teaching concept.
St. Gerard's Elementary, which is targetted to close under the Corner Brook school system reorganization plan, had just 100 students this year. It is expected they will have 105 in September.
Principal Bill Chaisson says the school has to adapt its teaching environment based on its teacher allocation.
Based on that, it appears the school will eliminate the homeroom teacher concept in September and have teachers for each subject.
He said it is still dependent on teacher allocation and student enrolment, but it has been approved and accepted within the school and at the school council level.
"We are still growing through a staffing process," Chaisson said.
"It looks as if that is the way we are going."
If the school was to gain a staffing position or there was an influx of students, it could alter plans.
It is a return to the system that was used in the past at St. Gerard's and something Chaisson said is more common in schools this size. It is also representative of the junior and senior high structures, which he said parents of students who attended a meeting this week appreciated.
The change is because of the loss of teacher allocations due to declining enrolment, according to Chaisson.
However, he does not see it as challenging. It is suitable to their particular school environment.
"The advantage we made is all of our teachers know all of our children," he said. "It is not like a bigger school. Every teacher knows every child, by name, and every teacher pretty well knows every student's parents by name."

OT: DC United Moves to Baltimore?
Apparently this is a possibility. I doubt it's probable, but I for one would be enthralled to have a professional outdoor soccer team come to Baltimore.
A few details:
The Maryland Stadium Authority commissioned a study on building a stadium for either a pro or semi-pro soccer team in Baltimore. The study concluded that building a stadium in Westport for a pro soccer team would be the best option. I believe the study was specifically considering the possibility of bringing DC United to Baltimore.
DC United currently plays at RFK, but they desperately want a new stadium. There is little reason to believe it could happen in or around DC anytime soon. The have acknowledged the study and intend to
From the President and CEO of DC United:
"We appreciate the interest that Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and the City of Baltimore have shown in our team and potential stadium, and will continue our conversations as we work toward the best possible long-term home for D.C. United."
Check out the links below for more info.
I know there are probably some political hurdles for this as well. I'm not too knowledgeable on the politics of something like this. Anyone else have additional information or insights?

Re: OT: DC United Moves to Baltimore?
The friendly's that Baltimore has hosted have been a wild success, but I am not sure that will translate into butts in the seats at a 3rd downtown stadium in an area that has yet to be developed.
There has been the occasional rumor that the Ravens are not all that happy with M&T. Maybe a partnership with both teams to lobby for a new downtown stadium perhaps?
Yes, admittedly, it's probably a long shot but at least T might get his escalators.
Re: OT: DC United Moves to Baltimore?
Personally, I've never heard or read anything regarding their displeasure with the place.
Kind of hard to be unhappy when the building you make your money at is funded by the public dollar for the most part.
The place is only 13 years old or so.
I'd be shocked if there were any serious discussion regarding replacing it anytime in the next 10-15 years if not more.
Hell, these jack wads can't even figure out how or why to replace that crap hole downtown the blast plays in.
For shits and giggles though regarding T.
Escalators or Roof?
Which would be more important?Will Die A Ravens Fan!!

Re: OT: DC United Moves to Baltimore?
(1) The idea of a soccer stadium in downtown Baltimore is merely a shill to get one built in Montgomery County or Northern Virginia. DC and PG County have already nixed spending public funds on this folly.
(2) There aren't enough Mexicans in this area to create a fan base to support a Baltimore team. Sure, we have a few Limeys and Irishmen, but nothing close to the number of Mexicans in Virginia who constitute a large part of United's fan base, who won't drive 50 miles per game.
(3) I like soccer. I played it in high school. But it will never catch on as a mainstream spectator sport in the US. Not enough scoring, or finesse (like a no-hitter 18 strikeout job in baseball), or violence (see any Ray Lewis hit). Anyone remember "Back the Bays"? Pro soccer failed here with the Baltimore Bays due to these reasons.
I doubt that we going to see a replacement football stadium in our lifetimes, unless the NFL resurrects the idea floated in the 80s of a Columbia or Laurel-area mega-stadium shared with the Virginia team, and finds a way to pay for it without State tax funds.
I gave up on the escalators a few years ago, moving down a few decks. (Just so I can get my shot in: I still think it's a freakin' embarassment to have a "modern" stadium requiring fans to make a massive hike on ramps to get to their seats. In that regard, it's the poorest designed stadium in the NFL.)
Roof would be nice, especially if/when the NFL goes to the 18 game season. When I lived in New Orleans, every Saints game I attended was pleasant, regardless of the weather. Theater-style cushioned seats were great. If we were to get a roof, on this stadium or on top of Houston Ravens' new stadium, I would prefer a movable roof, to allow sunshine for late September through early November games.
Neither is going to happen.

But going back and reading the news reports makes it seem it was so-so and not a total disaster.
I will defer to you since I was 1500 miles away at the time.
Re: OT: DC United Moves to Baltimore?
The one advantage that soccer has over all of these is continuous play. Addmitedly I haven't watched the MLS in a long time (mostly because there's no team in Baltimore), but when I have watched soccer from other leagues or events there are no commercials breaking up the action. I get my food and my beer, sit down, watch 45 minutes of continuous action, get more food and beer, and watch another 45. It's great.
When I watch the NFL, they play for 7 seconds at a time. Most of the time is watching players milling around or watching commercials. When I watch baseball I spend half the time watching people spitting or scratching themselves or watching the pitcher nod his head while the batter fidgets with the bat. When I watch soccer I watch soccer almost the entire time I'm at my TV.
Plus, so many people have played soccer growing up. I think soccer can become a major US sport, but I do think it will take a long time (decades).
Re: OT: DC United Moves to Baltimore?
Is there a reason they couldn't play at M&T?
Re: OT: DC United Moves to Baltimore?
I would think that would be a reasonable solution, but they seem bent on getting their own facility.
Re: OT: DC United Moves to Baltimore?
Soccer in this country does not merit building stadiums strictly for them. If they can't be happy with M&T then I wouldn't want them to move here.

|Since nobody's explicitly said it: you can get to the TH with a car just fine from Glendo. Summit boulder was tougher than expected--bring climbing shoes if you have them. Chain's still there, but I lucked out and got a belay from Teresa Gergen! Had an incident with some freaking crazy rednecks on the drive out (don't ask)

|Great Fall Day
Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2011
|Summited about 3:30 on a beautiful, warm, but windy fall day. Trail covered in snow from about halfway; about 8 inches at the summit. Made the top of the summit boulder but had to cling to the metal spikes in the face of a gale. The view was great and the trail was interesting enough the whole way I didn't get tired. And as a bonus I didn't get shot by the multitudes of hunters in the area (though none near the trail).
P.S. there IS a chain, you have to look in the west facing chimney behind one of the buildings.

|Finally Made it
Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2011
|Having grown up in Wheatland I was always eager to see the view from the top. I tried the trail twice with my mom, once when I was 10 or 11, and once again shortly after my dad passed away at the age of 13. Both times proved to be too challenging for us, but I decided to try it a third time. I hiked up with my friend, starting about 10 and reaching the summit at 1:30 or so. It was a killer hike with lots of lose rock, patches of mud in places, and even a couple snakes near the trailhead! But making it the top was great, and I knew I finally did it. I even planked on the summit (the only time I've ever planked), and we scrambled down. Going up I felt the pressure in my chest and lungs and going down I rolled my ankle a couple of times, but the view at the top was worth it. We eventually made it back the trailhead after five. I guess for some people it's not too hard, but I'll tell you being a landlubber where my primary exercise is golf, bowling, and some weight lifting, this was a challenge!

|It was a nice quiet hike to the summit area. Great views from up there. i was a little bit nervous about the scramble up to the actual summit, but with the aid of the rusty, old chain up there I made it. There are some interesting carvings in the rock up there. On the way down we saw, smelled, and heard some ATVs.

|I had flown over this peak many times while traveling to Gillette, WY. Finally, I made arrangements with a hiking partner to climb it. The chain that aids you to the true summit was not there at the time of our ascent. We wandered around quite a bit before deciding on climbing up the chimney by the small building.

|Very nice hike. We had 5 adults and 5 teenaged scouts in our group. Each boy was required to carry a 30 pound pack to qualify and prepare for a 6 day trip through the Wind River Range. The entire group summited. No snow on the trail.

Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2008
|Nice day for a hike.....Hiked from Laramie Peak Trailhead near Friend Park. The streams and waterfalls were really nice, but the snow near the summit was a real bummer, making my feet cold and wet!
My rental car (somewhere on the return trip to Casper) blew a tire; I did not realize it until I saw something fly through the air! My first attempt at changing a tire was unsuccessful, but some very nice people from Glendo drove me to Esterbrook for a ride. The hike and summit were uneventful; however, I do not recommend the dirt road for a rental car with crappy tires....

|First Ever Ascent
Date Climbed: Jun 14, 2008
|This was my first ever ascent to the summit of anything under my own power. Ran into previous commenter, AubreySun, on trail. The 10 miles and 3,000 foot elevation change put this couch potato down for the count once back at the car, but the area is so incredibly beautiful that I highly recommend this hike. Well worth the 4 hour drive.

|Hiked from the Laramie Peak Trailhead Parking area (about 7,700'). The trail descended just over 100' to the creek, then ascended gradually to the summit. Many fallen trees right off the bat (making ATVing impossible). Snow was found on the trail above 9,000 feet. Above 9,200', it was unavoidable, and postholing became an issue. That said, some snowdrifts could be circumnavigated via rocks/logs and the trail was never really lost, but there were still a lot of inevitable snow crossings (some was packed; some was posthole hell). No snow in the summit area. Made it up the chimney to the actual summit without too much effort, though it was awkward. Winds were pretty strong up there. Overall, it was a nice climb, even though the snow was annoying. Seems to be melting fast, though. Waterproof boots, gaiters and trekking poles highly recommended at this time. Maybe even Yaktrax or Stabil-icers for the early morning.

|The trail is well-designed for steady rise (after the first mile) and for occasional clear views. It took about 2 1/1 hours up and 2 hours down. Met about 30 other hikers during the day, including three from the Ukraine. We has some lunch at the top, followed by a toast. Great views the whole day (see gallery).

|The drive in was spectacular. Lots of baby deer and antelope! The trail itself was a very pleasant mellow hike. Started at 9:30 and made it to the top at 11:30, bouldered around for a while then came down. I got back to the car at 1:30, very fun hike.

|What a blast this time was! I was fortunate to lead a group of young men to the summit. We started at 2:30 a.m. to try and hit the sunrise. We reached the top four hours later, and were a little late for the sunrise, but it was beautiful none the less! All four of us officially summited, climbing the chain up the chimney to the official summit rock, that part was flippin sweet. I was joined by Danny Meeboer, Brendon Mount, and Jordan Harms. Praise God for an awesome adventure.

|Was proven how out of shape this lowlander is. 4.75 hour hike up; 2.5 to 3 hours down, plus a sprained ankle on the way down (but this Energizer hiker kept the boot on and kept on hiking).
The last mile or so to the top is steep and full of often loose rocks. The top is magnificent, yet crazy. I have a bit of vertigo and, being alone, I couldn't quite make myself go to the helicopter pad. >8-O But I did climb on rocks some. Had a view to Elk Mountain to the south in Medicine Bow National Forest's Snowy Range.
I guestimated the trail at 5 miles, looking at signs. Someone hiking with a pedometer said it was 5.25.
Lotsa manmade towers on top good for calling folks back home to say I was on top of mt. LOL! Geez, I hadn't even seen a western mountain since 2000!!! I enjoyed it, despite the heavy breathing. lol
Oh yeah, the Friend Park Campground was $10, if I remember right, for me and my tent, arriving around 11 p.m. and hiking at 8 a.m.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
It's perfect for those that plan on being out and about all day. It's a place to store your things and rest your head. Great. More Breakfast variety.
It was my first time staying in a hostel and overall, it was a good yet different experience. The area of the hostel wasn't in an area far away from the awesome city sights. Some areas of the hostel could be updated a bit or given a better cleaning. However overall it was cool and I would go back. The kitchen area could've used a better cleaning and some areas of the building, such as the bathrooms, could use an update. The walls were thin too so you could hear easily people coming and going. However, the staff was fairly friendly and it was great they had live music during my stay.
The location was great just a quick walk to all the major tourist sites. Is not luxuries but if you need a place to crash and are on tight budget there isn't anywhere better.
environment was cool and the people were really nice. location was spot on
Location was very good. Provided what I needed. Probably the best hostel I have stayed in. Everything was good.
I had never stayed in a hostel before but I had a large travel delay. It was very pleasant. The staff was very accommodating, knowledgeable and pleasant. Also I saw a few of the other hostels in the area... but this one was the winner. There seemed to only be one elevator accommodating the entire facility. It made arriving/leaving with luggage more of a hassle.
Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Avoid eating at El Sol Mexican restaurant next door!! They have a serious rat problem - borderline infestation - which spills over to areas in front of the hostel which is adjacent to the restaurant. We also heard rats in the walls during the night. I never saw a rat in the building and overall the facilities are very clean, but you should be aware of this if you are terrified of rodents.
Everything about it was fantastic! The staff were amazing, very clean facility and pretty comfortable beds! There was nothing I did not like.
The shower floors were slimy.
Human interactions
I liked the location and friendly staff. I enjoyed my stay a lot, I highly recommend Highroad Hostel. Sleeping on the top bunk meant I was super cold when the AC was on and sweating hot when it was off. Literally only complaint I have, everything else was great.
Very friendly staff, welcoming as soon as i arrived Modern Clean Close to the subway Honestly, i can't think of any disadvantages
I liked that it has running water and a tv in the room. The owner was friendly. He was considerate. I didn't like the fact that it charges $80 for one night and you don't even get your own room. I had for different beds in my room and the room was small. The bathroom was a boys shower room with only one show and one toilet. There is nobody to take your bags for you and nobody even cleaned my room or got my bed ready for me before sending me to my room. I walked in and the bed was dirty. The vending machine is all out of snacks and drinks, who knows when the last time they refilled them. It would be a great place for cockroaches.
We didn't like anything because they didn't have a room for us after we booked here FOUR MONTHS prior. When we showed up for check in around 6pm we were told he didn't have a room for us because "the website is messed up and he took this room down months ago from Expedia but the site continues to book it." The owner repeatedly told us it was not his fault and there was nothing he could do. He even tried to get us to sympathize with him on how confusing websites can be. He then offered to check Hotwire for us. My head about exploded. Awful service and awful person. We flew all the way from Florida, across town on the metro, and walked many blocks to this poorly renovated "B&B", to be told we "can check Hotwire." DO NOT BOOK HERE. Fun fact: as we were waiting in the "lobby" aka his living room trying to find a new hotel we were told by guests staying there that this had happened THREE times in the last 2 days. Unbelievable. The owner could have had the decency to call us even a day beforehand so we could have found a new hotel.
Close to metro, super clean, quiet, friendly people. Management is very responsive. Feels like home.
cheap staff was unknowledgeable, unhelpful and unaccommodating to late check in beds uncomfortable lack of outlets in rooms only microwave for cooking no one answers the phone
basically a lot tohave fun with. lax rules str8 stupidity & nonsense. Owner in AM in charge of CheckOuts iz a Jackazz

Unsubstantiated Drudge rumor echoed through the media
Research ››› ››› SHANT MESROBIAN
An unsubstantiated rumor about Senator John Kerry's hair, originating with an April 27 Drudge Report Exclusive that cited only anonymous "campaign sources," made its way onto the April 29 episode of Special Report with Brit Hume on FOX News Channel. In his "Political Grapevine" segment, Hume reported the story without citing any sources:
HUME: In an incident reminiscent of one of the great embarrassments of the Clinton presidency, John Kerry managed to have his hair styled while out of town last week, and he got it done by the same hair salon the Clintons used. The former president, you may recall kept Air Force 1 waiting on the tarmac in Los Angeles, 11 years ago this month, while Christophe of Beverly Hills came aboard and cut his hair. Christophe later opened a salon in Washington and one of his stylists, French -- educated, Isabel Goetz does Kerry's hair as well as Hillary Clinton's. In Pittsburgh, a week and a half ago, there she was getting the Massachusetts senator ready for a Sunday television appearance. The campaign however, refuses to say if it had her flown in for the occasion or on what plane.
Hume followed his FOX News Channel colleague Linda Vester, who had reported the story hours earlier on her show DaySide with Linda Vester, without citing Drudge or any other source but instead claiming that the story had been confirmed by FOX News:
VESTER: "Our own FOX News team has confirmed. John Kerry had his personal stylist flown in on, I guess, Teresa's own private plane, and the cost of his haircut, we are told, but we can't confirm yet, was about a thousand bucks."
The day before Hume and Vester picked it up, on April 28, the story made it into mainstream news sources when Reuters and the Associated Press reported a joke made by host Jay Leno on the April 27 episode of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, which referenced the story about Kerry's hair. Neither Leno, nor Reuters, nor the Associated Press cited the rumor's origin, nor did any note that it was just that -- a rumor, for which no media source had provided on-the-record support.
LENO: John Kerry reportedly flew in his private hairdresser before his "Meet the Press" interview for a total cost of $1,000. $1,000 for a haircut. Which sounds like a lot but have you seen the size of John Kerry's head?
The first to pick up the Drudge story was talk radio host Rush Limbaugh on his April 27 show. Next came The Washington Times, its sister publication Insight on the News, and by The American Spectator. Limbaugh, along with each publication, cited Drudge.

5.1 Quake Rattles California
(NEWSER) – Southern California got a scare last night in the form of a magnitude-5.1 earthquake that struck near Los Angeles. No major damage or injuries were reported, though water main breaks, power outages, toppled store shelves, and shattered glass were seen throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties, reports AP and NBC Los Angeles. Maybe the most dramatic image came from Brea, where the quake triggered a rock slide that overturned a car. All escaped with only minor injuries. The US Geological Service says the quake struck about 9:09pm local time and was centered near Brea, about 20 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. It was relatively shallow, at 5 miles deep.
