Q: Why is it called Ash Wednesday? A: Actually, Ash Wednesday is its colloquial name. Its official name is the Day of Ashes. It is called Ash Wednesday because, being forty days before Good Friday, it always falls on a Wednesday and it is called Ash Wednesday because on that day at church the faithful have their foreheads marked with ashes in the shape of a cross.

I have often wondered why we only celebrate certain president's birthdays. Why not honor all of them whether they were good, bad or indifferent? As each indivual has his own opinion of who made a good president and who didn't. That is one of our rights here in the United States.. So Cyber Grandma is going to try to give a little information about all of them on her Presidents Day page.

Philippine News-Link: As we begin the this second year of the new millennium, we reflect on how far we've come and try to discern how much farther we need to go. Last year we once again proved our mantle as a brave and just people by removing an incompetent leader from office-- just as we had removed a tyrant 15 years earlier. We Filipinos did our part, now it is up to our government officials to see to it that justice is meted-out to the guilty.

Shangri-La, established by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and subsequently renamed Camp David by President Dwight Eisenhower, is not the mythical location from which Jimmy Doolittle launched an awesome air attack on Tokyo during the World War II as suggested by President Roosevelt; it is a real place --- a quiet and relaxing retreat snuggled atop the Catoctin Mountains in Maryland. Camp David has afforded presidents, from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the current President, privacy, brief periods of respite and the opportunity to 'see the whole world very clearly.' "Not many photos on Camp David folks, I know I looked. But this site has a tale or two, with photos, about each of the Presidents over the years during their stay there."
