Immediately after the War, the building found yet more new uses. In 1869, in addition to the menagerie, it housed a new museum which would eventually become the American Museum of Natural History. Here esteemed British paleontologist B. Waterhouse Hawkins labored, reconstructing the skeletons of dinosaurs in a specially constructed workroom. An Gallery of Art was established on the first floor that same year and the Municipal Weather Bureau’s instruments were installed on the roof.

The Arsenal was bustling with activity.

In 1870 Jacob Wrey Mould was brought in to redesign the interiors and a year later, faced with numerous complaints about the stench and “great insecurity and danger,” the beloved menagerie was moved out.

Always a point of visual controversy the Arsenal was threatened again in 1912 when Henry Clay Frick proposed to dismantle the old 1877 Lenox Library, now vacant with the opening of the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue, and re-erect it on the site of the Arsenal. Frick’s gift was turned down, an act Mayor William J. Gaynor viewed as an insult to Frick and announced that he was “det...

The Cape Cod Weathervane Company has recently launched its online website at http://www.capecodweathervanecompany.com The Cape Cod Weathervane Company is headquartered at 379 Iyannough Road Hyannis, Massachusetts, where they also operate a retail showroom.

Cape Cod Weathervanes sells a wide selection of copper weathervanes and finials. The Store also sells cupolas, sundials, wind chimes, door knockers, as well as weathervane parts and mounting hardware.

The popularity of home renovations and fixing up the yard and garden has made the Cape Cod Weathervane Company a prime destination for do-it-yourselfer as well as builders and gift givers.

The company was founded by Russell S. Cazeault. The store grew out of another online company, The Copper Gutter Shop which sells copper gutters and related accessories at http://www.copperguttershop.com .

"It started out by making weathervanes available to customers that were also buying copper gutters, and ended up becoming a stand alone business." says Cazeault.

While the nautical weathervanes are like the bass fish and sailboats are highly popular, some other unorthodox weathervanes rank high on t...

Hundreds of firefighters gained ground Wednesday against the most destructive of two big wildfires that have burned dozens of homes and forced 2,300 people to evacuate mountain communities on the edge of the Mojave Desert and in the southern Sierra Nevada.

A 1,400-acre blaze that burned 30 to 40 homes in the Old West Ranch community about 10 miles south of Tehachapi was 25 percent contained, the Kern County Fire Department said. Some 150 homes in the loosely connected community remained threatened.

The area is usually so gusty that wind farms line ridges, but early Wednesday afternoon the weather was cooperating with the 800 firefighters on the lines, producing only light breezes.

At a Red Cross evacuation center in Tehachapi, Sarah DeSmet, 22, of Los Angeles cuddled a dusty black kitten she had pulled out of the rubble at the home of her uncle, George Plesko, who looked dazed as volunteers tried to get him to eat lunch.

"My uncle called my mom to say his final goodbyes" because he didn't think he would get out alive, DeSmet said.

Part of the fire in the eastern foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains, about 70 miles north of Los Angeles, was sending up a...

…So how come Niña-year AND sunspot minimum year 2007 still made it to the top 10% of warmest years AND that melt in the Arctic Sea, please? Wouldn’t we have expected 2007 to arrive in the 10% coldest?

No better proof for GW than 2007!
