I am northern Irish and I made a tribute to saint pattys day. Although it happened yesterday I could only upload it today. I hope you enjoy it. The movie trailer I included is THE WIND THAT SHAKES BARLEY its about the Real and Good IRA in the 1920's who fought for Independence from England and got it. Its a excellent film. But it not about the 1980's fake and new IRA who is a terrorist group who kill innocent English people and Northern Irish people in the North. On Saint Patrick's day everyone can be Irish and have some Guinness Here are some cool facts you didn't know about Saint Patricks Day: * St. Patrick wasn't Irish(Born in England) * St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) to the Irish people. * The first St. Patrick's Day parade took place in the United States on March 17, 1762, when Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched through New York City. * There are 36.5 million US residents with Irish roots. This number is almost nine times the population of Ireland itself (more than four million). * More than 100 St. Patrick's Day parades are held across the United States. New York City and Boston are home to the largest celebrations. * At the annual New York City St. Patrick's Day parade, participants march up 5th Avenue from 44th Street to 86th Street. More than 150000 people take part in the event, which does not allow automobiles or floats. * Chicago is famous for a somewhat peculiar annual ...

OK, who's a fan of Donald Trump's, "The Apprentice?" This clip is a sneak peek of one contestant who will be getting the boot on the next season of the show. I was in New York in October 2009 and I just happened to be at the right place (Trump Tower a 58-story skyscraper in New York City located at 725 Fifth Avenue, at the corner of 56th Street) at the right time to catch a glimpse of one contestant getting 'fired" off the show. The shoot was right there on Fifth Avenue late one night. You would be surprised how many times they shot the departing scene for a supposedly unscripted reality show.

When her luck changed, however, it changed in a big way. Through a series of lucky breaks, she won a movie contract, landed a husband, and started a singing career, in that order. Storm, whose real name is Josephine Owaissa Cottle, was born in 1922 in Bloomington, TX. Her father passed away before her first birthday and left her mother as sole support of five children. Their home lacked modern conveniences like indoor plumbing. They made do with an outhouse and laundered their clothes with homemade soap. By the time Storm entered junior high school in Houston, there still wasn't enough money for extras like girls' clubs, including the Girl Scouts. Storm turned instead to the school's free drama club. In high school, a pair of her teachers encouraged her to participate in a popular contest of the day, Gateway to Hollywood. Held in Hollywood during the late '30s, the competition offered an opportunity for two winners to walk away with a movie contract. Storm was one of those winners and a young man was the other.

We have lots and lots of water just now flowing into the Sheyenne River both from the Ashtabula Dam and melt water from snow. 22.2 feet predicted...the dikes are set to 24. Today all but one of our 12 bridges are closed. This video was taken from the Rosebud Visitor's Center lot looking South at City Park....can't quite see the new West City Park Bridge. As you can see the Elks Walk Bridge is just going under water. This section of Main Street has been blocked off but for emergency traffic only. Sorry for the bad camera work on it....not a pro:-) Keep your fingers crossed for us for the next few weeks we will have this record high water...not this high since 1882! keep track of us at: www.times-online.com This is from a December 19, 1936 Times-Record story by DW Clark telling about his "Fifty Years in North Dakota and Valley City." (I will interject some modern landmarks for you.) 1882: Also Year of Flood This was the year of the big flood. The ice on the river gorged the railroad bridge and ran down Main Street. Water was knee deep as far north as the schoolhouse (east Highliner Activity Center parking lot). I was building my house at the time (north of Mr. Spindle) and wanted a piece of moulding. I took a plank and pole and piloted myself to the lumber yard (close to Carpenter Lumber) where they told me that if I would go and get it I might have it. I took him at his word and secured a plank and pole, piloted myself to the lumber shed and got my moulding and started ...
On Sunday February 7, two days before going to Congress, an incident with a Taxi happened, the video talk by itself, just pay attention to it with care. My bicycle has been vandalized in numerous occasions to make incidents as the one on this video more plausible to happen. Also you should notice that the first thing this person does is to point out to the bike lane, very convenient.
Emergency workers continued to search for a missing woman in the rubble covering half of a downtown city block Friday after an explosion Thursday flattened several Main Street businesses. Recovery operations were suspended Friday night for safety concerns, but will begin again this morning, said Bozeman Fire Chief Jason Shrauger. The search is challenging and dangerous work. Well have to go through the debris pile, literally stick by stick, brick by brick, said assistant city manager Chuck Winn. Search dogs and their handlers joined the search Friday as emergency workers sifted through debris, searching for the woman authorities have so far declined to identify. Advertisement * Its a pretty broad area, Shrauger said. Its a complicated and difficult task theyre trying to accomplish. northwestern Energy shut off leaking natural gas around midnight Thursday and firefighters subsequently doused the blaze, enabling crews to shift from emergency response to investigation and recovery Friday morning, Winn said. The power company, the Montana Public Service Commission, investigators with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and local fire officials are attempting to recreate the circumstances leading up the explosion that rocked downtown Bozeman shortly after 8 am, Thursday. More than 70 firefighters from departments throughout Gallatin County responded to the incident, said City Manager Chris Kukulski. They dropped their real jobs to come over and help ...

When her luck changed, however, it changed in a big way. Through a series of lucky breaks, she won a movie contract, landed a husband, and started a singing career, in that order. Storm, whose real name is Josephine Owaissa Cottle, was born in 1922 in Bloomington, TX. Her father passed away before her first birthday and left her mother as sole support of five children. Their home lacked modern conveniences like indoor plumbing. They made do with an outhouse and laundered their clothes with homemade soap. By the time Storm entered junior high school in Houston, there still wasn't enough money for extras like girls' clubs, including the Girl Scouts. Storm turned instead to the school's free drama club. In high school, a pair of her teachers encouraged her to participate in a popular contest of the day, Gateway to Hollywood. Held in Hollywood during the late '30s, the competition offered an opportunity for two winners to walk away with a movie contract. Storm was one of those winners and a young man was the other.

Since I Dont Have You was released the day after Christmas 1958. The record was soon number one in Pittsburgh, and Dick Clark invited the Skyliners to appear on his February 13th American Bandstand show (after their performance he announced the song was an old standard a tribute to the songwriting of Rock and Beaumont). Within three days of the Dick Clark performance Since had charted on Billboards Top 100 and had sold 100000 records. Beaumont and companys debut single did better R&B (#3) then Pop (#12), and the group began to perform on the chitlin circuit, including the Apollo on eight occasions. In the early days stunned silence usually greeted them until they began singing and converting black audiences to instant fans. The Skyliners became the first white group ever to tope the R&B charts (Since went to number one in Cashbox). This I Swear, another dreamy Beaumont-Rock love ballad, was issued in May from Calicos 1409 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh offices. (Appearing at the New York recording session was a young writer/artist/producer and member of the Teddy Bears named Phil Spector; he later cited Since I Dont Have You as an influence on his production style in the 60s.) Like Since I Dont Have You, This I Swear did better on the black charts (#20 R&B to #26 Pop). Though all the originals issued on Calico read Skyliners, Rock and Beaumont actually wrote the songs, occasionally with versharon. It Happened Today was their third 45. It reached only number 59 Pop in the fall ...

Photographed October 26, 1903. American Mutoscope and Biograph Co. Camera: AE Weed The wind whips around on the Broadway side of the Fuller (Flatiron) Building. New York historians have long considered this the windiest corner of the city. A tough deal in a world full of hats and long skirts. Madison Square Park, just north of the Flatiron, was the original location for the city's Christmas tree long before Rockefeller center. It was also the the main point of congregation during elections. Before the Flatiron was erected, one of the sponsors of election nights, Adolph S. Ochs of the New York Times, would have ''Magic Lantern'' slides project the vote results onto the facing side of the St. Germaine Hotel which occupied the site. It was here that the words ''All the news that's fit to print'' originated.
Photographed October 8, 1902. American Mutoscope and Biograph Co. Camera: Robert K. Bonine When it was completed, the Fuller (Flatiron) Building (1901-1903) was the tallest skyscraper north of the financial district. The building stands twenty-one stories tall including the attic story measuring 307 feet. The Broadway front is 190 feet wide, The Fifth Avenue front is 173 feet wide, and its nearly 87 feet wide on the 22nd Street side. Its north end is one-bay point, prompting a description as the slenderest building in New York. - A Wonderful Building, New York Tribune Illustrated Supplement, June 29, 1902 Designed by DH Burnham and Company (Chicago), the Fuller Building is an important early skyscraper and a New York City landmark. Known as the first great steel-framed building, the exterior of the lower three stories is stone, with the remainder clad in terra cotta. Its completion in 1902 marked the beginning of New York City's first skyscraper era. The Flatiron joined Hardenbergh's Western Union Building across Fifth Avenue and the Metropolitan Life Building and Madison Square Garden on the east and north sides of Madison Square. ''With the trees of Madison Square covered with fresh snow, the Flat Iron impressed me as never before. It appeared to be moving toward me like the bow of a monster ocean steamer, a picture of new America still in the making. The Flat Iron is to the United States what the Parthenon was to Greece.'' - Alfred Stieglitz Related films and ...

There are 2.8 million stories in the Naked City. This...is one of them. Listen very closely to the emt's conversation. One of the banes of calling 911 is that everything doesn't happen in front of an exact street address. If it happens on the long side of a house or along a very long building or vacant lot, all you can do is estimate the street number. That's what happened in this case. In one particularly ugly example over twenty years ago, a woman died in a fire in One Illinois Center, a well-known downtown Chicago high-rise. She was trapped by the fire, but she called 911 and kept giving the address as One Illinois Center (a vanity address, and the only one she knew), and the call-taker kept asking her for a "good address" (actually 151 E. Wacker Dr.) Long Story Short: the Fire Department arrived too late to save her. Folks, if you work in a high-rise or on a suburban office campus, FIND OUT THE EXACT ADDRESS NOW. (It may not be One Whoop-di-doo Plaza.) That bit of info could save your life. And JUST IN CASE you need to call 911: The exact street address of the Empire State Building is 350 Fifth Avenue; Sears Tower's is 233 S. Wacker Dr.
