Sling Rider
Nothing about the Old West captured the imagination as the only messenger of the Pony Express galloped across the border with a bag of mail that would defend of his life. This messenger is a permanent symbol plate that glorious company that operated only eighteen months, from April 1860 to October 1861.The image of intrepid messenger of riding alone through all climates, through prairie and desert and mountains in all kinds of weather conditions is more than sufficient to feed the imagination. But perhaps the Pony Express occupies an important place in our national psyche, because it was a monumental undertaking – a intercontinental relay on a scale unprecedented since the days of ancient Rome.
The threat of civil war faster communication between East and West coasts imperative, and the Pony Express – the performance of communications and news of the day, among others – in fact played a key role in the strengthening ties between the EU and California in the years preceding the Civil War. A William H. Russell, William B. Waddell, and more High-Alexander – a company associated freight carrying supplies outposts Grand Army of the West – the need expedite mail service appeared to be an opportunity to wrest the lucrative contract of mail by land outside the Butterfield Stage Company. They hope to show that riders, shorter trips in the north-central, would be able to deliver mail faster and more secure.
Running off at the same time in Sacramento and St. Joseph, Missouri, and traveled 250 miles in 24 days hours. The journey to the west, first took 9 days and 23 hours, Travel to the 11 east, days and 12 hours. Relay Express, composed of over a hundred stations, 80 riders and 400 to 500 horsepower. Each step the "relay" has long been a dozen miles, as the maximum distance a horse could travel at a gallop. A row blew the horn as he approached station, so that the station is known to have a new horse, carrying bags of water, etc. The driver then just had to answer e-bag mail (called backpack), the sling back on the horse and swinging on the chair, sitting on top of mail bags and move on. The cyclists rode 75 to 100 miles before another driver would take over, walking day and night in any kind of weather. However, there are documented cases where no driver was available free because of an emergency, and the runners stayed in the chair for twenty hours. They were paid $ 25 per week – not much compared today's standards – but the average worker in 1860 was only $ 1 per day working 12 hours.
The Pony Express worked two and a half months, when Congress passed a bill to subsidize the construction of a telegraph line to straddle the river Missouri and the Pacific coast. The completion of the telegraph line that the death penalty for the company, a fat horse. But while the line was under construction, was as usual for the Pony Express. The riders carried letters and newspapers from San Jose to Sacramento and back, but only took the telegrams between the two ends of the line is under construction.
And worked to deliver mail, the Pony Express never been a financial success, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars before the discontinuation of operations in October 1861. However, it remains a symbol of the spirit American pioneer and determination, and traces of the Pony Express rider still echoes through the imagination of all fans of the American West and history.
The Pony Express has suffered only one death – a rider killed by hostile Indians – and lost one bag of mail. Pony Express Riders recorded a total of 650,000 miles.

10 years of tight, squeezing low-slung jeans, butt-pants. Low-Rider This style has gone too far. Wot next?
In the Jeans street, on TV, even in the office, women of all ages and sizes are tight squeezing Butt squat, and pants that are often or very below the hip … Then, it is very visible G-string. The trend is not new, it began around 95 or so … Time to move later WOT'S GONNA BE NEXT?
Yes, it is absolutely horrible … and most women have no body to use these pants, so their love handles and belly hanging over their jeans too, which makes a very attractive woman look totally horrible and fat when it can be. However, right now fashionable high-waisted everything. Very HIG Pants – size and skirts, I do not know if I've seen everything, but what happens now. Jeans, however, not becoming tall … but I think the low rider style has completely gone out of fashion, at least here in New York … the rest of the country is sometimes slow to light. Here are some pictures: http://img33.echo.cx/img33/1952/reed109va9kd.jpg http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2006RTW/ MARC/RUNWAY/00260m.jpg http://www. fashion-era.com/images/press_selfridge/Miss_Selfridge_Collec 5D.21402.jpg% 5B1% http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2006RTW/BVENETA/ http://www.lasplash .com/artman/uploads/diane_von_furstenber_fall_2006_image1.gif RUNWAY/00150m.jpg
