最豪华的狗厕
A US dog lover bought her pampered French Poodle its own bathroom complete with a specially commissioned£500 painting.
The dog, named Pierre Deux, lives in an Indianapolis apartment with owners Ilia and James Macdonald. His toilet lid is wrapped in aqua chiffon with a purple feather boa border and the room is decorated with flower petals and a picture of Pierre's girlfriend, Gigi. He relieves himself on disposable nappies left on the floor.
"He's my baby, so he deserves the best," she told the Indianapolis Star. "My mother jokes that she wants to come back reincarnated as Pierre. There's no better life." The bathroom was the work of interior designer Lisa Fitzwater, she said: "It's kind of cool when you have a client who's creative and adventurous. I've done a hundred black and brown rooms. This was a lot more fun."
She commissioned artist Heather Cuthbert-Lutgring to create the painting which features a note, supposedly written by Pierre, saying he'd gone to Paris with his girlfriend but would be back by midnight.

really celebrate Halloween
Sat Oct 25, 4:30 PM ET CAIRO (Reuters) - A Egyptian mummy, which is probably pharaoh Ramses I who ruled Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, returned home on Saturday from a U.S. museum after a journey that began with a 19th century grave robbery.
路透社-开罗:东部时间10月25号星期六下午4:30报道 一具被认为有可能是法老的木乃伊,星期六从一个美国博物馆运回到了埃及。据说这具木乃伊的原身乃是统治了埃及3000多年的法老拉姆西斯二世,它在19世纪一场盗墓中被掳掠了去。
The body, which like that of other ancient Egyptian rulers would originally have been laid in a decorated tomb, was flown into Cairo airport carefully packed in a plain wooden crate.
此具木乃伊尸体原来和其他古老的法老木乃伊一样,放在一个装饰漂亮的古墓中。但是后来却被裹住放在一个朴素的木箱里,从开罗机场偷偷地运走。
Witnesses said the box was taken off the plane draped in an Egyptian flag. Zahi Hawass, secretary-general of Egypt's Supreme Council for Antiquities, accompanied the mummy on the flightThe Michael C. Carlos Museum in the U.S. city of Atlanta acquired the mummy in 1999 but offered to return it after studies by Egyptologists helped by hi-tech scanning equipment indicated it was probably Ramses I, the museum Web site said.
目击者称箱子在埃及国旗的掩护下被抬下了飞机。而埃及古遗物高级委员会秘书长Zahi Hawass陪伴着整个行程。美国亚特兰大市Michael C. Carlos博物馆1999年得到此具木乃伊,但在埃古物学家帮助下用高科技扫描研究证实是拉姆西斯一世后答应归还埃及,该博物馆网站报道说。
Ramses I was originally a military commander and is thought to have become a pharaoh around 1290 B.C. He ruled for just two years but founded Egypt's 19th dynasty, which included Ramses II, who was on the throne for several decades.
拉姆西斯一世的原身是军队的司令官,据说大约公元1290年左右做了埃及的法老。他统治了仅仅两年但建立了埃及的第19个王朝。该王朝的另一个统治者是拉姆西斯二世,他在位的时期长达几十年。
The mummy ? which bears striking facial resemblances to Seti I and Ramses II, Ramses I's immediate successors ? was acquired by the U.S. museum from a museum at Niagara Falls on the U.S.-Canadian border, the Carlos Museum Web site said.
面部和Seti I、拉拇西斯二世有着惊人相似的拉姆西斯一世尸体,在美国和加拿大国界上的尼亚加拉瀑布博物馆之后落到了美国博物馆手中。卡洛斯博物馆网站报道说。
It said a Canadian collector probably bought the corpse around 1860 for the Niagara Falls institution from an Egyptian family who had stumbled on a tomb filled with royal mummies around Deir el-Bahri, an ancient site near Luxor.
据说该尸是1860年由一个加拿大 收藏 家带给尼亚加拉瀑布博物馆的。而这个收藏家当初从一个埃及人手里买来了此具木乃伊,当时这户埃及人家在Luxor.附近的一个叫Deir el-Bahri的旧址中发现装满了皇族木乃伊的坟墓。
The Abdel-Rassul family sold treasures from the site for several years until they were discovered and the tomb officially revealed in 1881. The remaining cache included the empty coffin bearing the name of Ramses I, the Web site said.
Abdel-Rassul一家把坟墓里的这些财宝源源卖出,这样的情况持续了好几年。直到1881年他们被发现,而坟墓也被正式向外界透露。残留的储藏室里标有拉姆西斯一世的名字。网站报道说。
It was not the first time Ramses I's body was disturbed.
拉姆西斯一世木乃伊被骚扰已经不是第一次了。
He was originally buried in the nearby Valley of Kings, but tomb raiders emptied that grave in ancient times. Priests of a later pharaonic dynasty reburied Ramses I near Deir el-Bahri with the bodies of other rulers whose graves were pillaged.他最初被葬在列王旁边的山谷附近,但是古代的盗墓者在那里掳掠过。牧师和后面朝代的一些法老把拉姆西斯一世和一些坟墓被掳掠的法老木乃伊一同重葬在Deir el-Bahri附近。

劳拉成为美国新的First Lady
小布什的总统就职仪式刚刚结束,布什夫人劳拉成为美国新的"First Lady" (第一夫人)。那么,"First Lady"的称呼是从何而来的呢?
最早的"First Lady"的称谓是由"first lady of honor", "first lady of the Admiralty"演化而来,用来这些称呼指那些有影响力的杰出女性。1834年更出现了"first lady in (of) the land"的称呼。爱德华-布尔沃-里顿在1851年引用了这一说法,"She was so beautiful and so good, and not proud she! Though she looked like the first lady in the land."
"First Lady"第一次被用来指总统夫人是1849年,托卡里-泰勒总统称赞多利-麦迪逊夫人时说道,"She will never be forgotten because she was truly our First Lady for a half-century." (希拉里-克林顿在她的1999年多利-麦迪逊夫人纪念银币发行仪式上的讲话中引用了这句话。)
19世纪下半期,人们则很少用"First Lady"来指总统夫人,直到20世纪,"First Lady"才开始流行。1911年,埃尔西-费格森主演的名为"Dolly Madison" (又名"The First Lady of the Land")的戏剧在纽约上演。1941年普林德维尔出版"First Lady"一书。《牛津英语词典》引用了《芝加哥论坛》的"Mrs. Thomas E. Dewey discloses today what kind of first lady she will be."
在过去的二十几年中,由"First Lady"又派生了一系列的与总统有关的人或物的特殊称呼。最早是在1978年,卡特总统夫人的爱犬被冠以"first dog"("第一爱犬")的称呼。那么,我们将来是不是该称呼某为女总统的丈夫为"First Gentleman"("第一先生")呢?
