We hope you enjoy your visit to our WebSite. We offer a wide range of great sites. We have a great "Portal to the World", excellent weather, reference, golf and tourist sites. As well as great WebSites on trains run for the President of the United States (and for Royalty too). We are not "FLASHy" like many WebSites, but we offer you, among other things authentic railroad history material. Much of this material is not available elsewhere on the Internet. It was painstakingly collected over many years from such sources as Yale University. We never knowingly link you to any WebSites that contain a virus, collect your personal information, or are those machine-generated sites rampant with "Ads by Google". For some of our material, there is a small nominal charge. You can talk back to us on our BLOG and see our eBay Store too. |

There is always a chance of storms in the Mediterranean Sea. Ominous Weather is about more than weather. Its about our environment. Its about our social issues that need to be surfaced if we want to save our environment. See Champions of our Environment like Al Gore SAS le Prince Albert II de Monaco John R. Stilgoe Ralph Nader. We have other environmental sites on garbage trucks and Rapid response temporary shelters / portable housing. We have addressed several railroad-related projects that will conserve fuel and lessen pollution. |

Top Ten Research Tools
According to CNET |
|
1. Encyclopedia Britannica
In an era of free content, ponying up for expert information still pays off. Britannica's $49 digital encyclopedia draws upon an astute legacy of more than two centuries, offering entries vetted by Nobel Prize winners and ready-made citations for your term papers. This version is faster than its predecessor, and the DVD purchase includes access to Britannica articles online. You weren't really going to cite Wikipedia as the last word in your final project, were you? |
|
2. Wikipedia
You might shun this online, open-source encyclopedia if you've ever been burned by prank entries or fudged facts. But because anyone can edit Wikipedia, it's a richer resource than Britannica for subjects off the beaten path, such as the 1960s underground press or rivethead subculture. Though it's not the only source you should reference in term papers, at least Wikipedia gets you started. |
|
3. FeedDemon
Many free RSS services let you subscribe to oodles of news sources that so you don't have to hopscotch from site to site to get the scoop. But the $29 FeedDemon 2 is the best RSS reader for steamrolling through thousands of feeds. Need headlines from the science section of the world's major newspapers? Check. Want the latest research from insider blogs about solar power? Check. FeedDemon is faster and more customizable than browser-based freebies, and it also lets you access feeds online. |
|
4. Diigo beta
How helpful is it to bookmark a Web site if you need only one sentence from that 3,000-word article? Diigo is a free bookmarking service that lets you do what we wish Yahoo's Del.icio.us would: highlight text and comment on Web pages. Diigo caches each site so that you can search within text, not just the topic tags. And you won't have to leave the Del.icio.us community, since Diigo lets you save bookmarks simultaneously in both places. |
|
5. Google Scholar beta
Google Scholar searches journals in the arts and humanities, business, science, medicine, and mathematics. It turns up abstracts and sometimes full articles that are indispensable for academic and professional research and points to libraries that keep the hard copies. One downside: Scholar doesn't let you subscribe to newsfeeds for your search queries, while rival Windows Live Academic beta does. So far, however, Scholar retrieves more content. |
|
6. Google Book Search
Google's goal to digitize the world's libraries has hit some copyright snags, but Mountain View continues to sign deals with universities, scan books, and put their pages online. You can read the entire text of books in the public domain or see excerpts from, say, Build Your Own All-Terrain Robot, before committing to buy the hard copy. Props are due to Project Gutenberg, the first major effort to make e-books free. |
|
7. Yahoo Answers
When you're stumped about something, asking a knowledgeable person can cut to the chase better than a Google query. But what if there are no experts on, say, epiphytes in your circle of friends? Pose that question about rare orchids to Yahoo Answers, and you're sure to find a green thumb among the tens of millions of users. Among rival social search sites, we found the widest array of explanations on the broadest range of subjects at Yahoo Answers. However, the site can be cluttered by amateurs, so be patient. |
|
8. Windows Live Local
Although Yahoo Maps beta won our Editors' Choice award, Windows Live Local innovates in ways that are ideal for research. You can save locations to your account and even mark up maps with pushpins and by coloring in routes and regions. You could use these features to impress your history teacher, for instance, with a customized map drawing that shows where ancient Native Americans lived in your town. And Local is powered by Redmond's impressive Virtual Earth technology, which makes for some stunning satellite views. |
|
9. Google Earth 4
Google Maps first made satellite views of the planet free on the Web. But the Google Earth download gets you even closer, letting you fly around the globe, zoom in for a closer view, and add your own landmarks with Google SketchUp. If research brings you back to the land, Google Earth is an essential ally. For instance, environmentalists fighting mountaintop removal mining used Google Earth to assemble a virtual tour of the damage done. |
|
10. Google Home
Google Home organizes your newsfeeds, site bookmarks, maps, stock quotes, e-books, podcasts, calculators, currency converters, dictionary lookups, language translators, search histories, yellow pages--hold on, we're out of breath. Anyway, you can drag all that onto one simple Google sign-in screen that goes wherever you do, with some advantages over Netvibes and others. |

Tramway de Nice: New for 2007
The Tramway de Nice was designed to serve most of the population of Nice, France, as the vity of over 900,000 people is situated along a seaside, the line does not have to traverse it. Instead it was drawn as a U shape, passing through the centre. The tramcars of the Tramway de Nice are unique and have been specially designed to blend in with the Niçois architecture. A standard 5 car 1435 mm (4 ft 8½ in) standard gauge tram measures 35 m but extra carriages may be added, bringing the length to 45 m. The tram is 2.65 m wide and may carry 200 passengers at 18 km/h compared to 11 km/h by bus. Are the trams noisy? No. Noise created is maximum 70 decibels at 40km/h. This is much quieter than any large vehicle such as a bus. Find out more on public transportation in Nice and the French Riviera. |

St Johns Freight House
Photo above is of the St Johns Park Freight House. These are from a brochure published by the New York Central in 1934 and re-issued by the West Side Rail Line Development Foundation (author was a former member and supporter of this foundation). St. John's Park was abandoned when some of the High Line ROW below Bank St. was sold for housing. But had traffic there dried up by then? Was there any debate over it at the time? The line was only about 20 years old at that time. When St. John's was in service, there were about 8 tracks running into it-- how was it switched? And what kind of stuff was shipped to St. John's. Also, the line served Nabisco, Armour--when did they stop using the line? And did the RR serve Bell Labs (now Westbeth) whose building it ran through? For answers to these questions, click here or on picture aboven for St Johns Freight House or West Side Rail Line Development Foundation. |
