If you watch the large lighted ball descend in Times Square at the end of 2007, you should know that the first illuminated ball made its descent at midnight 1907. The Times Square celebration started in 1904, the year the New York Times moved into a splendid building at the old Longacre Square. Longacre Square was renamed in honor of the newspaper, and the celebration was held at the paper's new headquarters. The dropping ball was added in 1907 and remains a highlight for millions who watch it on television.

It paid off. Mr. Swords left her a $50,000 tip when he passed away. Not only that he left her a car as well.

POLITICIAN DICTIONARY
Ever wonder what oliticians were saying? The Lexicon Dictionary tries to cut through the double-speak with definitions of words and phrases: ie: When a politician talks of "transformation", they actually mean "no change"...... "Let me finish", meanwhile, translates as "I will continue talking so that you cannot ask any more difficult questions"........ According to the dictionary, "legacy" means "the next Government will pick up the bill".

USELESS TRIVIA:
Ever wonder about the origins of the term "Auld Lang Syne?". Essentially, the phrase means "The good old days." The lyrics, as we know them, were penned by Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788 He apparently drew on older works that used the line "Auld Lang Syne," but the words we sing are his. "Auld Lang Syne" has become the standard song for midnight as the old year dies and the new one is born across the English-speaking world.
In December 1951 Roy Rogers, and his beloved horse, Trigger, appeared on TV for the first time in The Roy Rogers Show. Their famous theme song, "Happy Trails To You," was written by Rogers' wife and co-star, Dale Evans.
Verdi's opera Alda premiered in Egypt in 1871 to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal. The critically acclaimed story of forbidden love was modernized in 2000, when Elton John wrote the Broadway version!
The Supremes made their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show inDec. 1964. Their many performances on that show would be immortalized in the 2006 film Dreamgirls!
Kwanzaa was celebrated for the first time in the U. S. in 1966. Based on Africa's harvest celebrations, Kwanzaa's name come from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits" in Swahili.
Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt starred as parents of twelve in Cheaper by the Dozen in 2003. Interestingly, neither Martin nor Hunt had any children in real life!
To Kill a Mockingbird came to life on the big screen in 1962 starring Gregory Peck. The character of Dill, the neighbor boy, was based on author Harper Lee's childhood friend, Truman Capote!
What women say And what they MEAN - You've seen them before. Always good to get a refresher course on stereotypes. :)
* ARE YOU WILLING TO: This means you better do it.
* FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of "those" arguments.
* FIVE MINUTES: This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.
* NOTHING: This means "something" and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and will end with the word "Fine".
* GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows): This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".
* GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows): This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care". You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine", and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.
* LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here arguing with you over "Nothing".
* SOFT SIGH: Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sigh" means that she is content. Your best bet is not to move or breathe, and she will stay content.
* THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead". At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.
* PLEASE DO: This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay".
* THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say "you're welcome".
* THANKS A LOT: This is much different than "Thanks". A woman will say "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh". Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh" as she will only tell you "Nothing.
