LOS ANGELES Cheap Kyle Connor Jersey , Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Richard Nixon Foundation hosted a special commemoration ceremony on Monday for the 16th anniversary of 911 at the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Orange County, California, the United States.


About 750 people gathered at the White House East Room of Nixon Library.


Representatives from the Orange County Fire Authority and Orange County Sheriff's department also joined the event.


Retired New York policeman John Curtis, who was a 911 first-responder, made remarks at the ceremony.


"Remember when things seem to be at their worst, look to those closest to you, your moms, dads, aunts, uncles and friends for support, guidance, and most of all strength," Curtis said in his speech.


Inside the museum, steel from the World Trade Center wreckage and soil from Ground Zero were on display.


The lawn in front of the library entrance was decorated by nearly 3,000 flags to honor victims who fell on 911.


"Looking back on the incident 16 years ago made me feel stronger," Marisol Hernandez Curtis, wife of John Curtis, told Xinhua. "It was a tough day, but it was nice to see people were helping each other. That's what helped keep on going and not give up on things, just to stay strong, work hard, help each other and stay together," she said.


On Sept. 11, 2001, a group of terrorists flew hijacked planes into New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the attacks.

Icebiking or snowbiking is a winter sport that many cyclists choose to partake in, partly because they don¡¯t really want to avoid biking because the weather changed, but also, because some bask the challenges.


And there are many challenges the icebiker encounters - beyond snow and glaciers, there is also salt and fine sand on roads that can make navigating things even tougher for the rider.


Since icebiking is done in cold weather, it¡¯s important for the rider to stay warm. The rider will require a protective gear, including tiers, vests, snobike racks and other insulated clothing. Your feet need protection as various layers of socks, as normal boots will most likely hinder pedaling. Gloves are challenging also, as the rider will need a good grip on the handlebars of the bike, and bulky mittens or gloves, which is often worn for sports like skiing or snowboarding won¡¯t work because of this sport. Head items, including a head wear and helmet, and goggles, are essential also. Face masks are preferred by some icebikers. It¡¯s all a matter of personal preference.


Because riding on ice is difficult, many icebikers buy special tires that give them more control. These wheels have ¡°studs¡° that help to keep the cycle from slipping, and the rider dropping off. These tires are being used almost for ice exclusively; snow is be better handled with no spiked tires, generally.


Other concerns, other than the tires, are how easily road salt can rot the bicycle itself easily. And because bikes aren¡¯t as solid as automobiles, the damage can become more significant. Many icebikers and snowbikers choose cheap or old bicycles because of this type of activity, as it sets the motorcycle in danger to get more detailed destruction than normal biking conditions would significantly. Many bikers choose aluminum bike frames, as they endure better under the stressful the winter season in comparison with steel frames. Either real way, it¡¯s important for the snowbiker or icebiker to clean the cycle extensively while returning from a ride. You should also consider snobike storage racks.


Icebiking and snowbiking can be carried out on roads, though it isn¡¯t the safest option available. If one is to ice or snowbike in heavily trafficked areas, it¡¯s important to wear reflective tape or perhaps a helmet light, to inform vehicles of your occurrence, as presence is affected in snow and snow conditions, as is vehicle stop time. Therefore, many snowbikers and icebikers opt for off-road paths that happen to be safer, because they don¡¯t really run the stake of encountering a car. When snowbiking or icebiking, the main things you can do are stay warm, remain safe, and become careful. And lastly, have fun during cheetah factory racing!

When people picture the Hoover state they generally think of rolling farmland and Bible-belt values. Indiana is famous for its NASCAR, college sports and David Letterman rather than its pioneering social experiments, but in the early part of the 19th century this was not the case.

The exceptional town of New Harmony was founded in 1814 in what is today Posey Country, Indiana. Over the next 14 years it was home to not one but two would-be Utopia's. Today it is home to less than 1000 people, and its commune past is long behind it, but in its day New Harmony was a magnet for scientists, scholars and radical thinkers.

New Harmony was born from the efforts of the Harmony Society, a religious movement founded by German separatists. Their leader was one George Rapp, and from him they received the sobriq.
