We live in the city government, urban construction tax money returned to the community, building and the promotion of public welfare activities. In recent years, because the grape harvest, patriotic Americans, because France does not support the United States to fight Iraq, not to drink French wine, and forced the French to have the best wine Liancheng the alcohol industry. Americans not only their own drink, wine exports hit a high-margin, the use of the money, the refurbishing of a new road, built several new parks. Play tennis free of charge. In order to secure the city, added a number of monitors. In order to improve pedestrian safety, all buttons street lights replaced with a new high sensitivity of touch, and the money and do benefit the community surrounding the farm, every summer night to have fixed the night market, the sale of the surrounding farm products, and the band The accompaniment, shopping and leisure in one.

U.S. health care system

2008-10-21T06:11:00.000-07:00

Recently, I went to the hospital for routine annual gynecological examination, the hospital is made to inform the initiative embodies the principle of putting prevention first. Back home in the near future on the quality of services received the questionnaire. And the progress of this year than in previous years, questionnaires are the Chinese, to take care of different ethnic groups. Reflected in all aspects of monitoring, there is no doctor received red packets. Medicine downtown did not issue a medical incident, internal and external oversight mechanisms for monitoring mechanism to run together, in no way shield. Patient safety is the top priority. Hospital, doctors there is a problem, the Government will fine lines and reduce investment. And in the courts to the hospitals, doctors and patients a fair chance. Once a suspicious, dereliction of duty, medical, murder. Doctors, nurses, family members of patients have a high sense of responsibility to the hospital authorities and the FBI report. In order to increase this year, the quality of hospital care, to prevent bed sores, such as dereliction of duty nursing, to stop such incidents from the government subsidies (issued by the President of the United States).

Although the United States is very expensive medical treatment, the high cost of health insurance (the first year of home insurance is about $ 200 and then $ 300 ... .. $ 600 until last year, became the husband of age to enter the government retirement program, but I am a person Still need to pay $ 500 per month, this is already a lot of health insurance benefits, encountered a Chinese Vietnamese, she told me the same insurance company to pay her $ 700 a month, I address him by the cheap.) But the service was absolutely first-rate, all the doctors amiable attitude, you have all the checks they give you. Every time a doctor, pay a registration fee of $ 20, do not need to check all the other pay (including CT, B extra fine). Look at all the free emergency (those of us who pay health insurance, Medicare does not pay for all those who pay fees to change this unreasonable phenomenon, a whole people's health movement has started. San Francisco has already begun to implement), and the ratio of domestic or Some simple. However, the domestic cost of health insurance is relatively low, the state and the people are not too well-off, so also do the same can not be home.

U.S. Civil Service

2008-10-21T06:08:00.000-07:00

The United States after years of reform, to improve and perfect. Management has entered a virtuous circle. All in an orderly, rule-based. As long as that government departments need to fill out after completing your feelings and opinions and supervision can be seen everywhere. I remember for a green card need to extract fingerprint, affable attitude of the staff, especially the thoughtful, you really embodies the spirit of service. Then be asked to fill out forms supervision. Bibi's all-powerful national officials classic style, not to mention the friendly. Do not you gifts, which you do not get him to do to you.

Zhao Shuren Banshimeshi all, things become even gifts, indescribably more tired. Do not know, you Banbuxialai on the matter. China is doing in today's world of acquaintances, often it does not rule, even if you had to guarantee high-level leadership. Not a friend, everyone is equal, it should not even think about into the matter. Not to mention fill out all forms of supervision, I would not be seen at home. In the United States, government departments, a very important job is to oversee all departments, companies, services, including hospitals and schools. To the protection of the rights and interests. Will not allow civil servants of corruption and dereliction of duty, they rely on these forms of supervision, bound by the civil service.

Struggling under the economic crisis

2008-10-21T06:04:00.000-07:00

Republican Party came to power after the war began. Known as the anti-terrorism, it is great for the oilman's interests and arms dealers. The international community do not agree, the United States is willing to pay one did not, unlike the original, Japan, Britain, have money to help fight the United States. Since then, the day of the U.S. economy than a day, we Chinese are very anxious, very stupid people in the United States, also supports the war, engaged in Iraq. Finally, when Bush and the other four. Greenspan, reduced interest rates, so that the poor are particularly vulnerable to the mortgage loan to, financial institutions, lending institutions, lending Pin Leming, one yuan, 40 yuan lending dare. Without supervision, began on Wall Street corruption and fraud, deceiving investors and their own pocket to make money unscrupulously. The rules are a generation into retirement age, left the job market, young people control of the financial markets. The United States entered unscrupulous the responsibility of the era of fraud.

Her husband is a thrifty person, the software for all the year round, has a high-tech fool, a simple-minded to death. After retirement should be non-life-savings to allow units to introduce the investment company.

I immediately think there is a huge problem, from time to time to remind him not only the money into an investment company, it is necessary to put the two companies, a problem the company, another company, let alone that he did not understand the company. Investment seen agent, he was cut down to see the index finger, and immediately took a cold heart. I said that the investment agent in question, he will be all your money Pianzou. Do not believe that her husband, Shuaichu words, not his money I was in charge. Yes the U.S. economy at home made it very clear that her husband was husband's money, and his wife have no right to speak, his wife's money is his wife, a husband may not interfere.

As self-righteous husband, I think from China, the United States do not understand. In my opinion, he never listening, speaking on both sides of the quick, so every time he went to see the investment agent, I would say that this investment is the agent of the liar, bad guy, he never believed that I could still feel it is a fool.

In terms of investment under the instigation of agents, a husband out of the house mortgage, the loan-to 30 million, so that investors operating agent.

A few years down the business every year to give him some profit, happy husband of the silly music straight. I feel more and more heavy, and I know that this is a small benefit to her husband's cheating all the money into their pockets and the Diaochongxiaoji, but her husband simply do not understand, he said that the direct investment agent, to He earned the money. Finally, her husband made the investment agent in its own bank account, leaving only 20,000 U.S. dollars a month for expenses. Even so retiree premiums are paid to the investment agent, said that more than a month to 10% of the husband's financial system and on the Lehman Brothers company, as long as there is a ring problems, it is necessary to the collapse of the whole. I am impatient fiery, he triumphantly, and also listened to my advice.

Until October 2007, also signed new one-year contract when I remind him. I said that the U.S. economy is not good, a lot will happen, let them have the mental preparation, investment agent is not a good man, your money will be Pian Zou whole. He is not, I also said that if the agent also said that the investment is not good, he would not take me to see the investment agent. When her husband signed a new one-year contract after re-entering the husband did not see a penny of the financial years. I did not tell her husband, I have no idea that her husband made a wrong I do not want to know. Then one day I feel that he is wrong, all day long in the doldrums, he asked a multilateral, he reluctantly told me that in October 2007 after the signing, not a half a penny earned, mortgage, car loan has become The problem a few days he could not sleep, do not want to tell me so that I worry. Mortgage, car loan are now used in 20,000 yuan in deposits has a month to $ 3,000, his pension is also a mortgage, car loan has not yet, and there is no money to buy food and pay Water, electricity, natural gas, Internet, telephone, the television fee. I can not persist in a few days.

I immediately said to look for investment agents, to suspend all of the investment, all of the money be returned. So we met with the agent of the investment, made to suspend all investment, the return of all of our money. At this time her husband left to regret the tears, I also said that the investment agent, the husband is not easy to make money, especially frugal life, you have to help him ride out the storm, do not let us become a poor investment Mankoudaying agent: always .

However, the investment agent, said all the money does not get back, all in various projects, an investment in the courtyard of the elderly, to build a golf course, 30 million mortgage the house since her husband did not tell me to invest in the There, only know that investment in the hands of agents. All investment projects out of the whole issue. This is my stupid husband said he believed that the investment agent, the agent said that investment fraud, he will not. Finally, the agent said that this investment can only be turned into 300,000 shares of stock can be sold back. I immediately said that the stock has become very dangerous, I do not agree, because a lot of watching television has become no ultimately the stock value of the paper. Husband says that this is the only way out but to do so.

Back home, I urge him to check the Internet stocks, after investigation, he immediately understood the seriousness of the problem. Immediately to the agent made an investment in e-mail, did not agree to become 300,000 shares. But I understand that he is the gain of my husband, the silly, it's 300,000 of the money is of no return.

I immediately let her husband Internet search investment agent's name and the higher the owner's name, the result will be a Niu Guotou he told me to, investment agents is a bad guy, he is going through a lawsuit, cheated many people, there are hundreds of people They were the company deceived. Pianzou hundreds of millions of dollars. The article also posted on the newspaper, in 2007 I saw on the television reported, saying that there is a company devoted to deceive the elderly retired, the elderly have taken several hundred. I have not been to her husband's investment company would like. If early response is out of her husband's investment company, in October 2007 did not sign a contract, there would not be such a big problem.

He then issued a notice of the court to me, through the GOOGLE translation software, I finally understand that this is always the company newcomers to the benefit of investors, lured to the old investors have no income. Allow more people to invest a repeat investment, so the commission can take on many occasions. Also a golf course investment money diverted, the golf course land does not even have to pay land tax (an estimated investment of high-risk investments). Clinging to a husband from behind me, to do so, he said, would like to give me more money, after his death, and so I have no problem living. He wrong, but also wants to pass the buck to me. I said I do not want so much money, just want to let your money safe, no question of our lives.

Following this, we immediately looked for him every year for tax accounting, to seek ways to check the husband's retirement account, not even a dime. Accounting told him to write the federal government, his pension will be directly sent to her husband's account. Thanks to the Government monthly, or it will not have the money and we have to put the Hexibeifeng, the house will be lost. The most terrible thing will come then.

We have to step up investment in the press agent of the return of 300,000 house mortgage, if the money back, we can not terrible day, the house will not be lost.

Investment agents also the first 2 months due to her husband's wages in one month's wages. Stabilize the husband, next month, he cheated on her husband to return the money. I am a high alert and told her husband that he transferred the money from you, for him to escape Juankuan to prepare. I urge her husband to stop the employment of cleaning weeds in the yard, stop every two months to employ the bug buster companies to save costs. His agent, but also with illusion that this money will also come back. I told him that the agent is a liar investment, he also will not be your money. He also Fengfenghuohuo immediately rushed to invest there, an agent signed a month after we returned to 300,000 book contract. I told her agent to invest in the delay time, money is of no return, that is, agents do not know what they are playing tricks. We have found California to prevent online fraud by the Office of the old address will be a statement of the facts.

By the time the contract month, Qian Hai has not yet come back, investment agents also shut down the company also lost its license. We could not find the evidence of investment agents, the use of his time this month the company closed. Taimengchuxing only this time the husband is no longer illusions, began to employ the two service companies. I stopped as soon as possible, we will have more money to cope with the crisis, he do not know. I told him, we stopped to a telephone, television channels to reduce the use of low-price network services company. Americans in general this is a very silly, I even fool all the Chinese can not stand.

Until one day he called for a car loan company before he called the company to reduce the TV channel. Then the loan is to tell the company that he can not afford to repay the car loan. In fact, car loans left over how much money there is no need for further loans to the company, is in the hearts, if painful, white cross over the years.

I continue to encourage litigation lawyer husband, and that the death of 300,000 to the recovery of the past. Call the two lawyers, said the money recovered, according to the percentage of pay legal fees, the results we do not have too much to the decline. In other words they think the money is not coming back up.

Citigroup to see an investment in the company's deputy CEO was arrested by, FBI the same day in the United States began a major arrest, and arrested a total of 469 company-owned distribution in the country's investment agent, and California is Most were arrested. Frustrating! To faith-based community credit an unprecedented crisis! A rule has been undermined, it is bound to bring the financial crisis in the tsunami! Think of a few years ago, the Enron executives ....., one of the bad news that the U.S. system of unprecedented problem. I first saw the housekeeper's capitalists are greedy CEO's, not surprising that every 10 years follow the truth of Marxism once the first outbreak of the economic crisis, has never been to avoid! That is the essence of capitalism.

In order to face such a serious situation, in order not to lose the house, to pay to live in a variety of bills, I have to find a job, and asked him not to look to find a job, back pain, he said, can no longer work. Can only become a burden for me to bear. His younger than I am, come to the United States for so many years of work experience and no job and no experience. As long as there are in China, parents of an acquaintance, to find better work in general, people like to go home, given the general run. To the United States can not, like, who do not understand. Did not expect at home is not the rich, and never reduced into a poor, even in the Cultural Revolution, the Great Northern Wilderness. To the United States to become poor, awful! ! !

When the food did not want the poor, to find work, so the first thought is always to do the shopping for Chinese Supermarket G & G, and my classmates in Mexico that work. Fengfenghuohuo the back and forth, her husband refuses to go. I went on to sell fish directly to the meat counter, as is the boss of the back office, Mexico students told me that every afternoon are the boss. At the white shopkeeper, I would say to see his Chinese boss, he immediately put into a number of elderly Chinese people called out. I'd like to see the boss a job, it is estimated that Taiwan's people, said the standard Mandarin, so I went to customer service counter, look for customer service work to the Chinese application form and asked me if I would not speak Cantonese, I Said understand, but would not say that. They said that the Chinese will only speak Cantonese and English. I went there to see is answer the phone, just seems to be that I am. I speak English and her work to the application form, she immediately gave me. Filled home, especially to the boss to write a letter. , Introduced the current situation and their own experiences, said to me after some good work, I am not afraid to endure hardship. That the Chinese see the boss in the face of the Chinese people give me a job, help me a.

But wait several weeks have seen telephone, the hope was suddenly shattered. One day I went to G & G shopping, Mexico and the students warmly greeted me, so I put my face to tell him, he asked me which is now in the classroom

An unforgetful trip to US

2008-10-15T10:05:00.000-07:00

That was the first time for me to come to America. The trip was much more exciting than I had expected. As planned, I got my plane ticket and started my journey. Everything went smoothly at first. I departed from my home city Qingdao and changed a larger plane in Seoul, South Korea. The second day the plane arrived in Chicago on time and I was in high spirits for I almost got to my destination—SMSU (Southwest Missouri State University) in Springfield. Just at that time something unexpected happened. When I went through the customs, the immigration officer asked me about the 9-year-old boy who travelled with me all the way from China. As a matter of fact, I didn't really know the boy before. Before I left China, his grandparents heard that I was coming to Springfield through Chicago, so they asked me to take this boy to his parents who work in Chicago. The boy had all the necessary documents, including his passport, American visa, etc. Without any hesitation, I agreed to take care of the boy on my way to Chicago. I explained to the officer, but he insisted that I should show the boy's parents?letter inviting the boy to America, which we didn't bring with us. The officer asked us to stay aside and after a while, another officer came and brought us to a special room and ordered us to be quiet. When I looked around, I found another man there, whose ankle was fastened with fetters to a bench leg. It was obvious that I had lost my freedom. They probably thought I was a smuggler who smuggle children to America. 　　

The plane for Springfield was leaving soon. I tried to explain, but they refused to listen. They just asked us to sit still. After about 30 minutes, one officer came to ask me about the boy's parents?telephone number and I told him they were waiting outside the Cus

State governments

2008-10-13T07:11:00.001-07:00

State governments are structured much like the federal government, though in many cases the state judiciary are directly elected. The chief executive of the state is the Governor. Each state has a capitol city where the state legislature meets. In many cases, the capitol is not the largest city. (Children who can memorize and recite the capital cities of all fifty states are considered able and intelligent, though they are often not well liked.) States are divided into counties for administrative purposes. Counties are divided into various smaller units: townships, towns and villages. Cities are incorporated by state law and have special legal status. Most cities are run by elected mayors, with city councils, or boards of aldermen acting as the legislative branch.

The Executive Branch in USA.

2008-10-13T07:10:00.000-07:00

The Executive Branch
The constitution created a federal government with three distinct branches--the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. State governments are often, but not always, similar in structure. The head of the Executive branch is the President, chosen through a popular election every four years. The President lives during his term in the Executive Mansion (the "White House"), at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in Washington, D.C. A Vice President, who takes over if the President is ill or becomes President for the remainder of the term if the President dies, is also elected. All the other officers of the Executive branch, known as the President's "cabinet," are chosen by the President with the advice and consent of the Congress.

Rights of Accused People In USA.

2008-10-13T07:09:00.000-07:00

You might notice that the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th amendments may seem to make life a little easier for criminals, allowing some to use the law to their advantage and to avoid punishment for their misdeeds. Americans grumble about these provisions, without realizing that without them, no one would be safe--from the police.

USA. Government and Law

2008-10-13T07:05:00.000-07:00

Government in America is large perhaps too large. Some Americans believe that all social concerns can be treated and solved by the government, while others see the government as a vested interest with no function but to perpetuate itself. Whatever your view, in the United States you'll have to deal with government at many levels. If you want to add an addition to your home, you'll need a permit from the local town or city government. You'll get your driver's license from the state government, or a small business loan from the federal government. And, of course, you'll pay taxes to many levels of government.

The United States began as 13 independent states under a loose confederation in 1776. After winning their independence from Great Britain in 1783, the states had trouble getting along with each other. After much debate and controversy, the states adopted a written constitution in 1787. Certain powers were given to the federal government, while other powers were kept by the individual states. The constitution forms the framework for the American legal, political and governmental system.

The first ten amendments of the constitution limit the powers of the government to abridge individual rights. This Bill of Rights is cherished by all Americans. Despite constitutional guarantees, groups such as blacks and women have had to struggle, over two centuries, to claim their constitutional rights. Later amendments would strengthen and clarify individual rights. The issue of how the Bill of Rights is interpreted is never far from the center of controversy in American life. Among the most important constitutional guarantees of individual rights are the following amendments:

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right of the people to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. Since gun control issues are a hot topic in America, there is much debate on how far this right reaches. Some people believe they have the right to personally carry weapons. Others believe in more restrictive interpretations of the Amendment.

The Fourth Amendment protects persons and homes from unreasonable searches and seizures.

The Fifth Amendment protects against double jeopardy (being tried for the same crime twice), against a person being forced to testify against himself in court, and against the government seizing private property without proper payment.

The Sixth Amendment provides the right to a speedy trial by a jury and various other protections to people accused of crimes.

The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.

The Fourteen Amendment, enacted after the Civil War in 1866 added certain protections against governmental control of individuals, guaranteeing all citizens equal protection of the law and due process.

What to consider your mode of transport, how long you intend to be party, and stay where you are all factors to consider in deciding what baggage to take with you. You may also want to think about how many times you're likely to travel as well.

Your mode of travel clearly dictate your choice of bags to a degree, as the different types of transport you can afford places variables for your possessions. For example, you travel by air are generally allowed either one or two baggage and a sign that you can take on the plane with you. On the one hand, making your journey by bus or rail often limited space available memory. It can is a sector of luggage taken on these means of transport where the bags can be stored but it is usually an air compartment which is only really appropriate for smaller luggage.

If you make your trip by car, your only restriction is the size of the car. Whichever way as long as you are going to look far will be another obvious decider in which luggage to be taken. A travel weekend will require only a small all or bag because you do not take anywhere near the amount of business that if you go away for three weeks or so. Where do you stay when you get to your destination? You will need to store your luggage when you arrive and that is something you have to think about in advance. Is there equipment to launder some of your clothes where you stay? If so, you will not need to take as many clothes with you and smaller bags will do quite well. You will need strong background in which a key and is not as easy to get if you stay in a place where security measures are lacking slightly.

Lastly, think about how many times you go to your travel is necessary that any new purchase bags can be costly. If this is your first trip and you do not plan to leave again in the near future, take just one bag a friend or family member. However, if you are a globe-trotter and have the intention to continue to take trips here, there and everywhere, you can find it pays to choose the kind most durable luggage that can cope under all conditions that it may be subjected to in all your many travels. You should always think about the quality of your luggage as well as size.

The bags can sometimes take a bit of a hammering being thrown around in the process of manipulating the trip and there is nothing worse that a pull or come from broken sewing defeated when you're in the middle of the airport or staying at a place far from home.

The Future of Travel Guidebooks

2008-09-04T05:48:00.000-07:00

Robert Reid is a writer in lonely planet that publishes a guide wonder of the Internet in Vietnam, and doesn 't hachent words in his recent interview with WorldHum. He deplored the transfer of authors experienced travel guide for novices who will work for peanuts under the illusion that it will lead to fame and wealth, and believe that travel guides Internet one day replace guides edited traditional, when technology advances and handhelds can show guides printed by chief advantage continue to be above sources of Internet cards.
Robert Reid: I used to think the most important thing we guidebook authors did for travelers was hotel reviews. People like to have some sense of security that the $5 or $300 place they’re staying in won’t be a brothel or rat-infested dump. But the Internet has already completely changed this. Previously if I had a new budget hotel in a town center, or a mid-ranger with pool, travelers would have to wait nine or 12 months from the time I “discovered” it until it appeared in a guide.

Now booking sites Internet often obtain immediately.
When I went to China a couple years ago, I stayed at a brand new pension in Beijing that the author Trans had just found, but not yet published the guide. He was already full! I was amazed at how almost everyone there had found online, and réservais housing of their own trip to China in line.

At a workshop isolated planet a couple years ago, I asked a high-up the LP they saw as their biggest competitor, and they immediately responded to "Google. "I was impressed. So publishers like LP surely see the Internet as a growing competitor, and take it for a moment. When the BBC bought the LP a couple months ago, one of the main things they were cited for the future development was content online.

Another thing is that many sites with travel content online don’t have maps.
And maps are HUGE. I sometimes think seasoned travelers need only a map, with barebones details of few places to stay, and barebones details of what to see and where to eat. If they trust the author—and that’s a big if, of course—not as much needs to be said as some people think. This, again, is for seasoned travelers only.

The only other thing I fear regarding online guidebooks is if they follow the “I stayed here and it was great” TripAdvisor or Amazon.com model. Those are useful, no doubt, but they’re only based on isolated experiences. If publishers turn things over at some point to reader-generated content, you won’t have the authoritative overviews that guidebook writers can offer, and it’ll end up with deeper beaten tracks, with more travelers doing the same thing.

But I want to say that David Stanley is true, it is regrettable and insouciant if an old author who has done good work over several editions is cut for a new author.
In my opinion, the internal editors completely do not understand that what enters find these guides I was a writer for years, and only figured it out once I started to write full time. The best experience to write a guide to X does not live in X but after writing really a guide to X. Sometimes publishers forget a little.

Sometimes I think we are living in a profession convicted, and that we look back period wild crazy 70 years of the 2000s when a mass of notebook-toting travelers went to search the mysteries of places that are no longer mysterious.
People look back as the era read books by Graham Greene on vast areas of wild hours. The guides in the form of book die? Probably so. But to be honest, I think there will always be room for the prospect of the "author of a guide," at least online. Once the devices held in the hand become much more sophisticated, so that maps and journals more easily be referred to or we turn off the old people and younger generations who are not as soft on the Above-things-taking books will probably line completely.

But I think sometimes people like to hold such books. So far, though, TripAdvisor-type sites are excellent resources but not n'expliquez perspective. A person goes to the hotel Y and said that "it is superb! "But they do not realize A, B, C are similar and $ 40 less. Who is going to each of 15 museums in Bucharest but author of a guide? Thus they can only tell you that something like the National Museum of the Romanian peasant is about the best museum in the world?

Redondo Beach, CA

2008-08-31T15:53:00.000-07:00

In the midst of Los Angeles County’s west side, Redondo Beach sets itself apart from the masses of southern California beaches in many ways while still reflecting the best of the laid-back lifestyle for which the area is legendary. Close to so many amusement parks and museums, Redondo Beach is certain to have something enjoyable for everyone.

Redondo Beach has been referred to many times as having “one of the most romantic sunset watching places in the entire world”- the Seafront Esplanade. The city that once was one of the busiest commercial ports in southern California now is home to a pleasure pier, lined with quaint, unique shops and restaurants and a sport fishing fleet. Don’t forget about the marinas, for what would a southern Cali beach destination be without them!

Throughout the year, Redondo Beach plays host to a number of festivals and shows, including the “Summer Pier Concert Series”, a collection of free summer concerts right on the pier featuring various pop, rock, blues, modern, jazz artists from around the country all summer long and ending on Labor Day. And if that’s not enough music for you, be sure to check out the “Summer Concert Series” located at the Esplanade at Torrance Blvd.

The variety of Redondo Beach festivals goes unmatched throughout the entire world. From the “Artists by the Sea”- a vivacious display of local artists displaying their craft along the boardwalk, to the 2006 Surf Festival, as Redondo Beach is the home of modern surfing, to the Kite and Lobster Festivals. Remember to glance though the annual Chalk Art Festival, where artists from every walk of life gather and create “SEA LIFE” drawings with chalk on the pavement. Groups, teams and individuals are asked to share their talents in recognition of memories, hopes, aspirations and preservation of clean, healthy waters for the future.

If you’ve packed your pooches to accompany you to Redondo Beach, you’ll be pleased to know that Fido will not be neglected. Dominguez Park is also known as the “Dog Park”, complete with a wide open running space for larger dogs, and a smaller, enclosed area for smaller canines known as “Puppy Place”.

On an historic note, the Hollywood Riviera, or “The Village” as it is referred to by locals, was originally bought by a developer in hopes of creating the ideal Hollywood background. A few movie producers followed suit and a few movies were made here in the 1930’s. Those particular illusions faded, but café bistros, art galleries, quaint shoppes and restaurants materialized instead. Now, you can head pass the village in search of that perfect espresso and dessert, swim suit to flaunt at the beach, or maybe that antiquity of extraordinary interest to treasure as a remembrance of your trip to Redondo Beach.

The cowboy's life and work

2008-08-28T09:07:00.000-07:00

Cattle often wander many miles over the open range in search of food, so the cattle owners used "branding" or burning marks into the hide of each cow to identify their property. Each ranch had its own distinctive brand. Some brands were simply the owner's initials like the "JT" brand. Other ranchers placed a line (usually called a bar) under their initials like the BQ, which became known as the famous "Bar B Q" brand. A letter tilted to one side was known as "lazy", so a tilted J became the "Lazy J" brand. A curved line under the letter was called "rocking", so a T over a curved line became the rocking T brand. The ranchers jealously guarded their proprietary brands and men were sometimes shot or hanged for stealing cattle and altering the brands.

Most of the year, the cattle wandered over the open rangeland and required little care. Each spring, after the cows gave birth, it was necessary to find all the new calves (called dogies) while they were still with their mothers, and to brand each of them to establish their proper ownership. During this "spring roundup", many cowboys searched the open range on horseback for mother cows with new calves and herded them all into temporary branding pens. The cowboys then roped each calf, quickly applied the ranch brand and released it back to its mother.

Holidays in the U.S

2008-08-27T09:53:00.000-07:00

Every month of the year has something special to celebrate in the U.S. Throughout the years, the U.S.Congress has passed laws declaring special days as official observances known as federal holidays. Each federal holiday represents a day when federal employees and many other workers have a paid day off from their jobs. There are some holidays we celebrate that are not federal holidays but are very popular holidays to celebrate

January

The first day of January is New Year's Day. This federal holiday celebrates the beginning of each New Year. People in the U.S. sometimes spend this day watching college football games and parades.

On the third Monday in January, we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday as a federal holiday. Martin Luther King, Jr. worked to change laws so that all people in the U.S. would be treated fairly. He worked for change in the 1950s and 60s when many states had laws separating black and white people. Martin Luther King taught people to use peaceful demonstrations to change laws, instead of violence. Many laws were changed because of his work. Many people worked with him in the hope that the U.S. could be a fair country for all people.

In January or February many people in the U.S. celebrate the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year falls between January 10th and February 19th. The date changes because it is from a calendar based on the moon, not the sun. On this day, many families clean their homes of all the "old" and get ready for the New Year. They wear new clothes and share delicious food. They give each other red envelopes with money for good luck in the coming year. They also light firecrackers to chase away bad luck.

February

February 14th is Saint Valentine's Day. Saint Valentine's Day began in Europe and has been celebrated for hundreds of years. In the U.S. today, we remember friends and sweethearts with cards called valentines, flowers, chocolates or small gifts.

We celebrate Presidents' Day on the 3rd Monday of February as a federal holiday commemorating the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.. We call George Washington "the father of our country" because he was the American general in the Revolutionary War who led us to victory against England. He was elected our first president. Abraham Lincoln was our 16th president. He kept our country together during the Civil War when the Southern states wanted to form a separate country. Lincoln freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation.

March

March 17th is St. Patrick's Day. This holiday comes from Ireland. People wear 3-leaf shamrocks because St. Patrick used them to explain the Christian Trinity. Many people celebrate this holiday by wearing shamrocks or green clothing in honor of St. Patrick. Some people even drink green beer!

April

Holidays in the spring are celebrations of the rebirth of life. Passover is a Jewish holiday celebrated between March 13th and April 11th. Easter is a Christian holiday that is celebrated on a Sunday between March 22nd and April 25th. Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the U.S., people attend religious services and family gatherings like picnics. They hide colored eggs for children to find. Many children wake up to baskets filled with candy that the "Easter Bunny" has left for them.

May

Mother's Day is observed in the United States in honor of mothers on the second Sunday in May. Julia Ward Howe wrote a Mother's Day proclamation in 1870. She wanted to have an international day when all mothers of the world would stand up and speak for peace, so their sons would not have to die in war. In 1907, Anna Jarvis proposed a day to remember all mothers. Today, Mother's Day is a holiday to remember mothers with cards, flowers and presents.

Many people in the U.S. celebrate "el cinco de mayo". This means the 5th of May in Spanish. This holiday celebrates a battle won by Mexicans against the French. In some areas of the U.S., there are parades on this day. Many people eat Mexican food and listen to Mexican Music.
The last Monday in May is Memorial Day. Since 1868, this federal holiday has honored the Union Civil War soldiers who died. Now, we remember all soldiers who died for this country. People decorate soldiers' graves. Many people also decorate the graves of their families.

June

Flag Day on June 14th is the anniversary of the adoption of the American flag in 1777. It is not a federal holiday, although many people display flags outside their homes and in their communities.

The third Sunday in June is Father's Day in the United States. Father's Day was first observed in 1910 in Spokane, Washington. This is a day when people remember their fathers with presents and cards. People celebrate with family gatherings, picnics and sports activities.

July

The Fourth of July is a very important holiday in the U.S. We celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence by representatives of the thirteen American Colonies. On July 4, 1776, John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, well-known patriots, declared the independence of the thirteen American colonies from Great Britain. This holiday is considered the `birthday of the United States of America.' It is the greatest non-religious holiday on the U.S. We celebrate this day with fireworks and parades.

August

During the month of August there are no major holidays to celebrate. Many families go on vacation or have picnics or go to the beach. August 26th is a day that is recognized and celebrated as Equality Day by individuals or groups because of the adoption of the 19th amendment to the Constitution in 1920. This amendment granted women the right to vote.

September

September has one federal holiday, Labor Day. It honors all working people in the U.S. and Canada. It began with a New York City parade in 1882 and is now celebrated on the first Monday in September. National Grandparents Day, which honors grandparents and the love they show to their children's children, is celebrated the first Sunday after Labor Day.

October

The 2nd Monday of October is Columbus Day, celebrating the historic trip of Christopher Columbus to the Americas in 1492. Because Columbus was Italian, this federal holiday is especially important to Italian-Americans but may not be celebrated in all states.
October 31st is Halloween. During the 19th century, immigrants to the United States brought Halloween customs. These customs have changed over the years. Children in costumes go from house to house saying "trick or treat." The treat usually given is candy and tricks are rarely done. A common symbol of Halloween is the jack-o-lantern, which is carved out of a pumpkin.

November

November 11th is Veteran's Day. This federal holiday honors the soldiers who fought in World War I and those who fought for the U.S. in all wars. We celebrate by displaying the American flag from our homes, having parades and decorating graves with flowers and flags.
Thanksgiving Day is the 4th Thursday in November and a federal holiday. On this day we remember how the Indians helped the Pilgrims by teaching them how to farm and hunt. On this day, we give thanks for food, our country, and our families.

December

In December we celebrate holidays of light and hope in the dark winter. There is an eight-day Jewish holiday known as Chanukah during which candles are lit on each day. December 12th is the holiday of the Virgin of Guadalupe, who appeared to a poor Indian in Mexico among winter flowers.

December 25th is Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Many people decorate their houses with Christmas trees and lights and give presents to family members. Children hang stockings for Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) to fill with gifts. Christmas is a federal holiday. The African-American holiday of Kwanzaa is the last week of December. Candles are lit to represent the virtues of the African-American people.

As you can see, we have much to celebrate in the U.S. Many holidays are uniquely our own and many have been borrowed from other countries. We are a country of many cultures and many holidays!
