Water heater is tripping breakerUse non-contact voltage tester to make sure power is OFF before touching heater
Move wires to different, same-size circuit breaker
Safety rules !!!1) Do not touch wet water heater or heater that was wet
2) Stand on dry surface, such as dry boards.
3) NEVER stand on bare ground or wet surface and touch electrical equipment. Wear dry clothes.
4) Do not touch or lean into anything metal.
5) Do not touch any wires inside electric box or water heater until power if OFF.
6) Make sure main breaker panel has cover, make sure each electrical connection has cover firmly installed over wires until you are ready to replace breaker or change wires.
7) Tape tester leads to wood sticks to keep hands away from LIVE power
8) Use non-contact voltage tester to make sure power is OFF before touching heater
9) Knock the person loose with a 2x4. Do not touch person who is getting shocked.
Non contact voltage tester tests if there is Power at water heater. It will blink continuously when power is present. It will blink once if power is not present.
Multimeter is used to 1) test element ohms. 2) test wires and 3) test electric voltage

DO NOT touch water heater that was flooded or got wet
/ Electrocution danger !!!/ replace water heaterFlooded water heater must be taken out of serive and replaced.
The wet insulation located between outer shell and inner tank must be dry... or it will conduct electricity.
The insulation must cover the thermostat or the thermostat will be exposed to room air temperatures causing thermostat to misread tank temperature.
DO NOT INSTALL LARGER CIRCUIT BREAKER TO SOLVE PROBLEM: absolute fire risk
Quick answer for blowing breaker:1) Reset breaker fully off and then back ON.
Listen if water heater begins to heat, this will say if unit is getting power.
2) If breaker will not reset, then turn breaker fully off.
Use non-contact voltage tester to check there is no power at heater
3) Inspect outside water heater for signs of leaking/ do not touch wet water heater
Look for leaking element, water dripping on electric wires, water at bottom or top of tank
Causes leaking water heater
4) Open panels and connection on top of heater to inspect for shorted, burned wires and parts. Replace damaged parts.
3) At main breaker box: Use hand and touch circuit breaker. Does breaker feel warm? Touch main breaker and see if it is warm to touch. Observe safety rules above. Make sure breaker panel has cover installed over wires until you are ready to replace breaker or change wires.
Does circuit breaker feel warm?
Do stress test if main breaker feels warm
4) Use nose and smell for burned electric smell
Does anything smell burned to indicate overheating?
5) Use ears, and jiggle breaker to listen for crackling sound
Do you hear crackling sound when jiggling breaker? Then breaker is loose on busbar
Actions to take:
Action 1: Check if wires are tightly screwed to circuit breaker
Action 2: Replace circuit breaker
Action 3: Move wires to another same-size breaker and see if problem continues:

DO NOT INSTALL LARGER CIRCUIT BREAKER TO SOLVE PROBLEM: absolute fire risk
Circuit breaker trips because of HeatUndersized wire, loose wires, undersized breaker, bad breaker, loose breaker, or electrical short to ground:
Breakers do not trip immediately when heat is detected.
This allows heavy-amp motors to start with surge of amp-draw without tripping breaker.
However breaker trips immediately if there is a short.
Tripping breaker protects full length of wire from damage, but does not prevent damage at location of shorted wires.
A short is caused when electricity from breaker comes into contact with grounded surface.
Causes for short vary. Loose connections, re-used wire connectors, water leak, failed part inside tank, under-sized wire, under-sized breaker, bad circuit breaker, burned bus busbar inside breaker box, rats chewed through wire etc.
DO NOT INSTALL LARGER CIRCUIT BREAKER TO SOLVE PROBLEM: absolute fire risk
How to reset circuit breakerCircuit breaker can look ok, but still be tripped.
Push circuit breaker all the way OFF, and then all the way back ON.

More causesCause 1: Water heater element is shorted to ground. Action: Turn off power and test elements.
Water heater is leaking down electrical parts: Do not touch wet or leaking water heater. Turn power OFF, open covers and inspect for wet parts and use nose to smell for melt and burning, and inspect for leak
Element is cracked and/or touching anode rod. Action: Turn off power and test elements
Shorted wire or burned part. Action: Open covers, and use nose and eyes to inspect for burned parts and test wires
Prevent electrocution: Do not touch wet water heater or leaking water heater. At water heater, electrically ground both pipes together and connect ground wire to ground screw on tank. See image
Cause 2: If water heater is tripping breaker, the breaker and wire may be too small See wire and breaker size chart
Action: Feel if circuit breaker is warm. Jiggle breaker and listen for crackling sound. Smell if there is bruning. Check breaker size: should be 30 amp, with 10 gauge wire, for wattage over 3800W. Wattage printed on end of each element. See wire and breaker size chart
30 amp breaker and 10 gauge wire is suitable for 4500 watt and 5500 watt residential water heaters
30 amp circuit runs cooler = less heat loss = more efficient use of electricity = service panel lasts longer
Undersized breaker and wire will cause heat damage to circuit breaker and breaker box, leading to tripped breakers and loose breakers and damage to busbar.

Fashion. Where would we be without our desire for a sparkier outfit? Let us take our fashion advice right from the top. From designer Miuccia Prada: "Women always try to tame themselves as they get older, but the ones who look best are often a bit wilder."
Let us all, boys and girls alike, now go mildly wild.
Fine-feathered bow ties
This is the story of Ben Ross and of Ben's man-fashion, ah-ha moment. Ben grew up huntin' and a-fishin' in the great outdoors of South Carolina. As Ben and friends began to marry, our hero pondered a classy alternative to the black bow tie. The following is exactly as told to Goddess by eyewitness: "I was a groomsman when Ben got married five years ago," says buddy/co-worker Jeff Plotner. "Ben was trying to think of a cool groomsman gift that nobody had. Everybody went crazy. We kept wearing them, and everybody wanted one."

Oklahoma City homebuilders ring in ... 2003?
It doesn't have much of a ring to it, but metro-area builders are building like it's 2003.
They took permits to build 1,282 houses in the first quarter of this year in Oklahoma City, Edmond, Midwest City, Moore and Norman. That's up 16.4 percent compared with the same period last year and is comparable to the 1,249 permits issued the first three months of 2003.
The year 2003 wasn't a boom year, although by the end of the first quarter it was better than the year before — and a big improvement over 2001 and its short and shallow recession.
The first quarter of this year is no boom, either, although it seems like it compared to the slump that hit here when housing crashed across the country with the Great Recession of 2007-2009.
"We've recovered. The slowdown is behind us," said Robert Crout, president of the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association.
Lots ready for construction remain in short supply, he said. Planning and development came to a stop during the worst of the building slowdown. Now that builders are busy again, developers have been slow to get land ready for construction, partly because lenders are still leery of lending.
Also, property appraisals, Crout said, are still lagging behind the cost of building.
Labor shortages plaguing other parts of the country where housing is in recovery never occurred here because builders just slowed down during and after the recession. Homebuilding didn't stop altogether, so framers, drywall installers, masons and other subcontractors didn't leave. But Crout said recovery is pushing materials costs up for builders everywhere.
With appraisals coming in less than what builders have to get to make a living, builders have few options, he said.
One is to absorb the cost increases, which no builder can do for long. Another is to cut back on the building bang a buyer gets for a housing buck — in other words, fewer frills, extras and amenities. Crout, a Mustang land developer, said the appraisal gap has some builders going back to basics.
Buyers also have few options, Crout said. One is not to buy. Another is to come up with more money down because lenders won't make loans for more than appraisals.
In the meantime, builders "are running as fast as they can," he said. "The lots are a problem. There's just not any developed lots out there. As far as my business, it's never been better."
Through the first quarter, Oklahoma City issued 907 single-family building permits, up 14.4 percent from the same period in 2012, according to the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association.
Edmond issued 160 permits, up 20.3 percent; Midwest City issued 23 permits, down 20.7 percent; Moore issued 77 permits, up 42.6 percent; and Norman issued 115 permits, up 25 percent, the builders group reported.
Sales handled by Realtors continued apace. Sales came to 1,630 in March, up 9.8 percent compared with March 2012, according to the Oklahoma City Metro Association of Realtors.
In Edmond, 841 houses sold though Realtors in the first quarter, 15.7 percent more than in the same period last year "and last year was a record year in number," said Brian Preston of RE/MAX Associates Realtors.
Another 823 houses in the Edmond area were under contract, and that was a record, Preston said.
Also, the Realtors reported:
The average interest rate was 3.65 percent, compared with 4.08 percent in March last year — a 10.5-percent decrease.
Homes on average sold in 79 days, two weeks faster than the 93-day average in March 2012.

At long last, after seemingly endless debate, speculation and rumors, MTV News has received exclusive confirmation that Jennifer Lawrence has landed the highly coveted role of Katniss Everdeen in the big-screen adaptation of "The Hunger Games."
According to Lionsgate, the 20-year-old actress is a fitting choice due to her "meteoric ascent" to Hollywood stardom with her Oscar-nominated role in "Winter's Bone," to be followed by roles in Matthew Vaughn's "X Men: First Class" and "The Beaver," directed by Jodie Foster.
"Hunger Games" author Suzanne Collins has already given Lawrence's casting her blessing, via a statement from the studio.
"Jennifer's just an incredible actress," Collins said. "So powerful, vulnerable, beautiful, unforgiving and brave. I never thought we'd find somebody this perfect for the role. And I can't wait for everyone to see her play it."
Director Gary Ross also praised his lead actress: "I'm so excited to work with Jen and see her bring this character to life. Katniss requires a young actress with strength, depth, complexity, tenderness, and power. There are very few people alive who can bring that to a role. Jen brings it in spades. She's going to be an amazing Katniss."
The movie, based on Collins' dystopian best-seller about children forced to compete in a fight-to-the-death battle, is slated to hit theaters March 23, 2012.

Shopping for Portable External Hard Drives: What to Consider & 10 Under $100
External hard drives have become incredibly affordable and arguably necessary peripherals, offering an easy option for both backup and storage extension, especially for bulging photo collections and music libraries. Filtering through all those options can be difficult, so we've created a short buyer's checklist for choosing the latest in external hard drive storage, alongside model options to supplement your desktop or laptop all for under $100.
"SuperSpeed USB" Offers Big Transfer Rate and Power Boost
Seagate Wireless Plus External Hard Drive
Daily Tech Find
• $199.99 (Amazon)
• Seagate
I don't know about you, but my apartment has become the nexus of a small galaxy of wireless devices: smartphones, tablets, and our pair of laptops all storing a gigantic library of files, songs, and photos between the two of us. We can't take it all with us when we travel, but the Seagate Wireless Plus drive makes it easy for both of us to untether ourselves from our respective wired backup external drives when we're traveling together, providing a spacious 1TB of shared media storage wirelessly for up to 10 hours. As the name implies, this compact drive creates its own wi-fi network, can stream up to three devices at once, and is Airplay compatible, offering the unplug-go-and-connect utility for collaboration, work, or entertainment without wires or cables.
Solving the Case of the Mysteriously Missing Hard Drive Space
Our detective casually entered the crime scene and gazed around the darkened room, lit only by computer screens silently screaming for help. Crime scene tape and disk space warning messages flickered, as bits and bytes disappeared around him. He quietly surveyed the scene and brought out his tools of deduction. Who might the criminal mastermind be behind this devious theft? Let our adventure begin...
Only 9,999 LaCie and Starck Craft Limited Edition Blade Runner Hard Drive Available
I've got a soft spot for LaCie hard drives. One of my first external hard drives was a LaCie, and I still have two working backup drives from their stable of drives that have survived several moves, multiple computers, countless OS upgrades. And thanks to LaCie's partnership with designers like Neil Poulton, Porsche, and now design l'enfant terrible, Philippe Starck, their drives have long appealed to the aesthete customer. Announced over the weekend before the 2013 CES show, LaCie revealed the Starck designed Blade Runner, an external drive like nothing else out there...

5 Tiny Thumb Drives For Backing Up Your Important Files
We talk a lot about backing up your files here at Apartment Therapy, but that's because it's so, so important. You never know when your hard drive will fail, or when something might happen to your backup. Personally, I don't back up that much data--while I have an extensive music library, I'm not attached to the files since I can listen to almost everything via services like Spotify, and I know I can re-download any applications I need. But years of photos and creative endeavors aren't replaceable, so in addition to things like Apple's Time Machine and Dropbox, I like to save these files to a tiny thumb drive that I always keep plugged into my laptop.
Why You Should Store a Backup of Your Backup Drive
You never know when a device will fail, be it a laptop, desktop, or hard drive. In managing any kind of digital workflow, even just maintaining a family photo collection, backing up your files is a critical task.
Facts & Figures: Is 256GB of Hard Drive Space Enough for Me?
If you're considering purchasing a new Macbook that features SSD storage, you may be wondering if the standard 256GB space is going to cut it. It's an interesting question, and the answer, of course, depends on your personal use. I've crunched some numbers to help you determine if the 256GB drive is enough for you.
Don't Wait Till It's Too Late: Seagate Backup Plus
Daily Tech Find
Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive
• Seagate
I'm always shocked how many people I know still don't own and use an external drive for backup purposes. A common excuse is they're expensive (they're not) or they once had a drive that failed (all drives fail eventually). What's really expensive and stressful is when your primary drive fails and you don't have a backup plan. And any backup plan starts off with an external drive. The USB 3.0 Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive is so petite, I keep mine hidden behind my monitor and is a personal pick for portability and connection options. Additional features includes Seagate's Dashboard application to push or save pictures/videos from social network sites like Facebook, alongside the thrilling option to connect via Thunderbolt (adaptor required) for even faster transfer speeds.

The Bachelor's Lucky Lady
May 12, 2008 08:26 PM by Christine McDow
Tonight's The Bachelor season finale was promised to be the most romantic finale ever with a rose ceremony and proposal that the viewers would not forget. ABC and Bachelor Matt did not disappoint.
This episode had Shayne and Chelsea heading off to London to meet Matt's family and face tough questions from the other side of the pond. Then Matt took both women back to Barbados for final dates and the moment we have all be waiting for…the proposal.
First up in the game of meet the parents was Chelsea, and from watching her with Matt and his family, it is clear that Shayne has some stiff competition that she probably doesn't even know about. Chelsea greeted Matt with a huge hug and kiss, and they went in a Ferris wheel type apparatus to look over London. Matt spent some time pointing out his favorite areas.
They then headed to his parents house where Chelsea was going to meet both his mother and father, as well as his brother. Chelsea knew that this was where Matt could seal the deal and if his parents didn't like her that it would weigh heavily on Matt's decision. She went in looking very comfortable and like she was already a part of the family.
During dinner Matt's mother asked Chelsea if a sense of humor would be on her list of qualities that she was looking for in a partner. Chelsea explained that it is the number one item on her list and that it is important to be able to laugh at yourself. On camera Matt's mom stated that Chelsea was trying hard to convince her but she wasn't sure. Afterwards, while they had some time to talk alone, Chelsea opened up to Matt's mother about feeling vulnerable and admits that she has held back. Matt's mother tells Chelsea that Matt is completely himself when he is with her. By the end of their conversation Chelsea has won over Matt's mother.
By the end of the night Chelsea seems to have won over the whole family, including Matt. When he walks her out Matt tells Chelsea how much he adores her. On camera he says that he did not want her to go and that the little voice in the back of his head saying that they could be engaged feels good.
The next day it is Shayne's turn to meet the family and even Matt says that Shayne has an uphill battle after how well Chelsea did. Matt takes Shayne on a tour of London by foot and by double decker bus. She says that she loves London, but then gets very nervous when they get to the house.
When Shayne walks into the house she is greeted by Matt's brother who later admits that he wonders what Matt sees in her. She does not seem like his type at all. After meeting his mother and dad they all sit down and Shayne tells them about how she felt teased while driving by all the shops that she couldn't get out and shop out. She then precedes to spill her wine on herself.
When they sit down to eat Matt's father asks Shayne how old she is. Shayne jokes and says 12, then admits she is just 22, but tries to make it okay by saying that she has been on her own since she was 17. Throughout dinner Shayne answered all the questions right, and by the end of the night she had won over not only Matt's parents but his doubting brother.
After Shayne left the house, Matt sat down with his family. Both of his parents told him that they could see him with Shayne over Chelsea while his brother stuck with his initial gut feelings and told Matt that he preferred Chelsea.
Back in Barbados, Matt greets Chelsea and takes her on a helicopter tour of the island that ends with a picnic lunch on a deserted beach. They spend their time frolicking and making out in the sand until the sunsets. At the end of the evening, back in Chelsea's room, Chelsea gives Matt a "California Survival Kit" that is full of everything she thinks he will need when he comes to visit her in California. Included are a box of cereal for breakfast in bed, surfing wax because she wants to teach him how to surf, and a map of California for all of their traveling. She opens up to him and tells him that she is falling in love with him and he says that he is falling in love with her too.
The next day Shayne comes up behind Matt and surprises him. He talks about how she is a monkey that just grips on and then surprises her with a boat so that they can go para-sailing. Before heading up Shayne jokingly tells Matt that if she doesn't come back that she wishes him and Chelsea well.
After para-sailing when they are back in her hotel room, Shayne brings out her gift for Matt. She says that it is the most important gift that she will ever give him. He opens it up and it is two framed pictures of her writing "I love you" in the sand. She points out repeatedly that she is telling him that she loves him and after saying it is sweet, he says that he is falling in love with her too.
After leaving Shayne, Matt admits that he still does not know who he is going to choose. The next day however he finds the perfect ring and states that when he thought about who he could spend the rest of his life with, that the decision was predictable.
Chelsea steps out of the limo first which is normally a bad sign on The Bachelor. Matt tells her that she looks amazing and that she has the best dresses. He even calls her "honey" which makes one think that he is leaning towards her. When Matt starts talking though his decision is clear. He thanks Chelsea for the amazing times that they had and says that he doesn't think he can give her everything she needs. He says that he thinks they got a late start and she refuses to apologize for not throwing herself at him.
As he walks her back to the car Chelsea states what hundreds of thousands of women across the country have thought over the past few weeks. She says that Shayne is the falsest one there. Matt gets very defensive, almost overly so, and raises his voice to Chelsea, stating that he knows a different woman than everyone else knew and that Shayne is not false. He then says that if Chelsea thinks that he is the type of guy who would fall for someone who is not real, then she doesn't really know him.
They say goodbye at the limo and inside Chelsea cries, stating that it is very hard to go through this after just admitting your feelings. She says that she can not explain what happened because she does not know, but that Matt is a fool. You go girl!
Walking back to his spot Matt states that the only thing getting him through this is knowing that Shayne is around the corner. He states that he has found an amazing lover and a great friend in Shayne. He thinks she is the most genuine personwho he has ever met.
Walking up to Matt, Shayne is nervous and says that she would be heartbroken if he doesn't pick her. Matt tells her that many times he has thought it was all too good to be true. He says he came to find a life partner and that he knows Shayne would always be there for him, just like he would always be there for her. He then gets down on one knee and she starts acting very shocked. As he proposes she says over and over, "Oh Matt!" She does say yes and after a hug and kiss she tells him that she will marry him on one condition. That he never look at another woman again for their entire relationship because he has already looked at enough of them during their relationship. He promises and then gives her the rose.
So do you think he made the right decision? I am not too sure but the track record of The Bachelor's has not been too good. Only time will tell if Shayne should win an academy award for her acting job, or if Matt's feelings that she is genuine are correct.

The following is a guest post by Kimberly Kinrade, a Young Adult Fantasy author. For more on Kimberley, visit her website or tweet @KimberlyKinrade!
They say the more detailed your map, the better your chances of reaching your destination. OK, I don't actually know anyone who says this, but it sounds like something someone would say, right?
And if it's true, then I'm kinda sunk when it comes to self-publishing. My map for publishing my first book, "Bits of You & Pieces of Me" loosely resembled a map my 5 year old daughter might draw to get herself from our house to China. It was about as effective as well.
I recently wrote a guest post for social media guru Marian Schembari called "How NOT to Self-Publish." I've made some big mistakes along the way and am now like an old world adventurer, pillaging across what was once thought to be flat in order to flesh out my map and make it true.
What I've Learned Along The Way
- The fastest way from point A to point B is not always a straight line. There are many ways to publish, and no straight lines about it.
There's the mom of young kids who writes her first novel and becomes a millionaire from it. (Stephenie Meyer and J.K. Rowling).
There's the self-publishing success of one woman who now has an agent who is supporting her self-publishing ventures! (Zoe Winters)
There's the boy who self-published, then got picked up by a major publisher and became famous and rich. (Christopher Paolini) And the young woman who became famous and rich self-publishing, who then got a fantastic contract with a traditional publisher. (Amanda Hocking)
There's the NYT bestselling author who turned down a 500K contract to self-publish! (Barry Eisler)
And there's one of my favorites, the man who broke all the rules in genre writing and is still famous! (Neil Gaiman)
You get the idea!
- There's no one right way. Each author has to assess their own writing and publishing goals and decide for themselves the path that's best.
The Indie vs. Traditional debate reminds me so much of the 'to- breast-feed-or-not-to-breast-feed debate.' (Ok, stay with me here, I DO have a point!)
I'm a mom of three young girls. I chose to breast-feed. But there's such a HUGE dividing line between those camps that it became absurd. Like one camp was infringing on women's rights and one was torturing small children.
Come on people! The babies were getting fed either way. (I HOPE! And if not, well that's a whole other issue entirely!) And books are getting published. I have friends who JUST self-publish, and that works for them. I have other friends who would NEVER self-publish, and that's ok too! The world is big enough for us all. Let's just support each other as writers and get over ourselves, shall we?
- The road is constantly changing! Remember in Harry Potter, how their school would always move and change? The stairs that led to their dorms one minute, might lead somewhere else entirely the next. Well, this is how I see publishing right now. What works one minute for one person, may not work the next minute, even for the same person!
More and more I'm seeing traditionally published authors who also have a self-published book on the side. Or a self-published author who takes on an agent and keeps self-publishing while they hunt for a publishing house to call home. Day by day the terrain of the publishing world is reshaping itself, and we have to stay open and adventurous to that journey!
So what does my publishing map look like right now?
By the time you read this, it may be different. Just today I had an awesome coaching call with Robin Hoffman, (AKA @AuthorAlchemy) who reminded me that "Any time there's tumultuous change, there's also room for unprecedented opportunities."
She has encouraged me to stay open to traditional publishing, even while I build a platform and explore self-publishing.
I'm working on an exciting new YA fantasy series, "The Reluctant Familiar" and it has huge potential to go big. So I'm staying open. Writing an amazing book, building a strong platform, branding myself, marketing my work, and keeping a lookout for opportunities in all forms, whether that be self-publishing, traditional representation or both!
After all, publishing is too complex a subject to feel all one way about, to steal (and modify) a great quote from Anna Quindlen.
Because of that, I'm drawing my map in erasable pen. That way I can change my path as the landscape continues to shift under my feet!
Kimberly Kinrade is a Young Adult Fantasy author whose first book "Bits of You & Pieces of Me" was not YA. She started selling her work when she was 10 and ran out of teeth to sell to the Tooth Fairy. Now she writes, plays with her kids and puppies, runs a love blog with the love of her life, and tweets. All the while writing her next masterpiece "The Reluctant Familiar."

All Firearms
Gun Parts
|Seller's Description
Here is an Amd 65 (or SA2000) built on a Nodak Spud receiver.
I didn't put the gun together, and I don't have any way of finding out who did.
I do know everything works, it has all the reliability of the famed AK action, with half the weight of an AK.
The barrel is 14 inches, thus the muzzle brake was tacked on to make it legal. Because of the brake design, it looks like an artillery piece when shot at dusk. Giant fireballs roll out both sides of the muzzle. Sure to impress any other nearby shooters.
The gun comes with two magazines, one 20 round which fits well, and one 30 round which has to be 'finessed' in past the front grip.
The gun is used, and shows finish wear on the bolt handle, rivets and corners of the receiver.
Again, everything on the gun works.
This gun must ship to an FFL. If you live in Ok, you can come pick it up.
I don't have an FFL, so check with your guy to make sure he will accept a shipment from an ordinary citizen. I will be happy to provide an id with all the pertinent information for his books.
Shipping will be $25.00 to the lower 48, $35.00 to Alaska and Hawaii.
Please know your laws. If you are in a state which forbids hi cap magazines, I will just ship the gun without the mags, but I won't break the law, and I won't refund your money because of your mistake.
I will be willing to work out a lay-away plan if you wish.
I will take check, money order, or gunpal payments.
Check my feedback, and rest assured of a trouble-free, honest transaction.

In a Europe sorely afflicted by the war, the 1948 relay carried a welcome message of peace. The first runner, Corporal Dimitrelis, took off his military uniform before carrying the flame, commemorating the sacred truce observed in Ancient Greece. The planned route highlighted border crossings, where festivities were organised to celebrate the return of peace. In homage to the restorer of the Olympic Games, the relay passed through Lausanne, Switzerland and a ceremony was organised at Pierre de Coubertin"s tomb in the Bois-de-Vaux cemetery.
The relay shone the spotlight on the two poles of classical civilisation: Athens and Rome. Lesser-known ancient sites in Greece and Italy were thus brought to the public"s attention. For the first time, the relay was televised and the event closely followed by the media.
The relay retraced the steps of Christopher Columbus to the New World. The idea was to underline the link between Mediterranean and Latin-American civilisations and between ancient (Greco-Latin) and Pre-Hispanic civilisations. A direct descendant of the great navigator, Cristóbal Colón de Carbajal, was the last runner on Spanish soil. The Olympic flame made a stop at the Great Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacan. A "New Fire" ceremony was organised which, in the Aztec tradition, was celebrated to mark the end of a 52-year cycle. The reappearance of the sun at dawn symbolised the renewal of the world.
The relay showcased the traditions of Korea. Its route, which was a zigzag from east to west, symbolised the harmony to be found in the balance between two opposite poles. Some of the torchbearers did not wear the official uniform provided by the Games Organising Committee, but instead wore regional or traditional costumes.

The relay had a twofold goal: to situate Australia within Oceania and to promote the culture and heritage of the different regions in the country. The Torch relay visited 12 Oceanic countries before it arrived in Australia. The start of the relay on the Australian continent was in the "red centre" at Uluru (Ayer"s Rock), a sacred site for the indigenous population. The Aboriginal athlete Nova Peris-Kneebone, Olympic field hockey champion, was the first runner in the relay. The enthusiasm of the crowd along the relay route grew bigger and bigger. One million spectators welcomed the arrival of the flame in Sydney. In a ceremony which recalled the elements used in the design of the torch (fire, water, earth), Cathy Freeman "walked on water" before lighting a circle of fire which revealed itself to be the monumental cauldron.
