Callenish. I still have not received the books. Did you send them by US Postal or by UPS? Because the post indicates you sent them out on 11/6 and it is now 11/14 with no sketchbooks delivered. Do you have a tracking number for them? At this point I am, to say the least, a bit concerned.

Ladle gun? Pipe gun? belt gun? A flintlock key gun? SOOOO very cool the one I like the best is the Whip gun! Question is were any of these actual made back then? It seems the website is saying at least one or two of the unusual guns were made during the 18th century. Anyone seen anything like these before?

Problem is if you have too many parties you can have chaos with none getting enough of the majority. If you go down to one party you have a dictorship. The two party system gives a check and balance on the system. Not perfect, but then again, nothing is but, it is the best we have.

I normally don't donate in a public way, but to get this going I'll donate a small treasure (fit in the palm of your hand size) chest with some real semi-precious stones/beads in it and will provide a list of what is what. It might be an interesting collection for him.

when the Whig party disbanned most of its members became Republican but for a time there were an overlapping and three parties were around. OH the our second president was a Federalist. Washington had no party affiliation.

Actually there was a third party at one time. The Whig party lasted approximately 20 years and two became presidents - Harrison and Taylor. Ah, they both died in office.

I voted so I have a right to say as I please... Telling thing as the elections results were coming in, I noted that on one channel a Democrat with Obama campaign was stating that it was common for electors not to keep promises as election promises are just that promises and that reality is really different. yada yada yada.... So, will it be different this time? Don't know, it is just a wait and see situation. Also it is telling that only a couple of cities (my state included) actually forced the election. If you look at election results of a map of Ohio, you will see that only Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland went Democrat while the rest...majority of the state ...went republican. Same with several other states. and I kept hearing that there were areas that had more registered voters then there were adults in the respective states. So, was it a fair election, don't know and we will probably never know. All we can do is hope and pray for the best.

OSLO, Norway: The largest collection of antique shipwrecks ever found in Norway has been discovered under mud at the building site for a new highway tunnel in Oslo, the project's lead archaeologist said Friday. Jostein Gundersen said at least nine wooden boats, the largest being 17 meters (56 feet) long, were found well preserved nearly 400 years after they sank at Bjoervika, an Oslo inlet near the new national opera house. "For us, this is a sensation," he told The Associated Press. "There has never been a find of so many boats and in such good condition at one site in Norway." The wrecks were remarkably well preserved because they had been covered in mud and fresh water, where river waters run into the sea, he said. "We have a fantastic opportunity to learn more about old shipbuilding techniques and the old harbors," said Gundersen of the Norwegian Maritime Museum in Oslo. He said the wrecks are believed to have sunk sometime after a massive fire swept the wooden buildings of old Oslo in 1624. After that disaster, Danish-Norwegian King Kristian IV ordered the city center moved before reconstruction started. The discovered boats were moored at the old port, which became a remote area after the city was moved. He said the boats may have been 30 or 40 years old when they sank. "There is nothing to indicate that the ships were deliberately scuttled," said Gundersen. "They could have sunk one by one, because of sloppy mooring or poor maintenance, or maybe sank in a storm." He said the wreckage will be charted and removed as quickly as possible, so construction of the undersea tunnel can continue. It will then take years, he said, to examine all the ship's remnants back at the museum. Gundersen said the find will help fill gaps in knowledge between Norwegian Viking ships of roughly 1,000 years ago and more modern vessels.

10/31/08 VERMILION, Ohio (AP) — Two 19th century shipwrecks have been found at the bottom of Lake Erie. OAS_AD('ArticleFlex_1'); Explorers say they believe the first wreckage belongs to the Riverside, a 133-foot, two-masted schooner built in 1870 in Oswego, N.Y., that was lost Oct. 13, 1893, about 25 miles north of Cleveland. A second schooner also was found. Dive team member Dave VanZandt says said it could be the Plymouth, a 101-foot schooner built in 1847 in Huron, Ohio, that sank June 22, 1852, about 25 miles north of Lorain. Investigators will try to confirm the names by looking for a number assigned by the government and carved into a midship beam. The discovery by the Cleveland Underwater Explorers was announced Thursday in conjunction with the Great Lakes Historical Society in Vermilion.
