records to see maybe if something had been overlooked, you know, some feature that looked like a palisade wall or a ditch. and sure enough, they kind of saw some things that looked like right-angled features, you know, that looked like they could be part of pali palisades defense . and we presented preservation virginia a plan, that bill worked up, a whole master plan of how we were going to do this. it was supposed to be a ten-year project and here we are going on, 18, i think, because we found the fort, oh, wow! the biggest discovery of our lifetime. we're so close to it that sometimes we forget how significant this is, and probably long after we're dead and gone, people are going to finally get excited about this because it is, you know, in our backyard, and it's not, you know, the sands of egypt or something but it's just as important or as significant as egyptology, you know, work that's going over there. and this was maybe even more important because the documents are so sketchy for us. we've lost a lot of the documents on the virginia company during the great fire in london in the

i'll come up with a different color soil where upright logs of pallisade, it was clear there was a palisade of a triangular shaped fort would begin to appear. i started by myself. right here. one shovel, one wheel barrow. and i couldn't -- i mean, i couldn't hold back. i wanted to go -- i knew i had a grant, wouldn't kick in for a couple months, and get other people. so i started here. and i -- and the first day, i was digging right under the grass and i came up with a piece of pottery. and he was roped in, and this woman was here with her son watching this guy, pretty skeptical. and she finally said to me, "what are you doing?" like those -- do people know you're out here digging in sacred properties? and i had that pottery. and i just looked at her and i was pretty manic at the time, because i knew this pottery was old enough to be james fort. and i'm going, "i'm finding james fort" and she sort of backed away with her son. come on, bobby, let's not upset the nice man. i hope she came back with him. that was '94. 1994. and here what we had done, luckily enough, was to dig in -- this place

so, we know that it wasn't one of those cases where the indians were on one side of the palisade and the settlers were on the inside. there was interaction going on, no question about that. and the first question, again -- >> he was talking about a period of drought. he talked about drought. >> oh, drought. you want to take that? >> well, yes, he's referring to the scientific evidence, boring of cypress trees that has shown that there was drought for 10 years, 1606 to 1612. the worst drought in almost 10,000 years. we feel that it kind of explains some things. that maybe it explains why things fell apart so quickly, that there was stress in the environment, stress on the indian community, stress on the animals. there weren't so many animals running around on the island. so it was something the english did not understand not having been here. and it kind of explains a lot of the friction that evolved. >> and add to that is that they had a problem with the water as well. the drier it is, then the higher the salt content goes up. the saltwater goes further inland and jamestown is where

this dark area is the palisade line from 1607 that we found everywhere, all the way around. we found the first year down around the river. and it's darker soil. i think you can see there's dark soil here and there's even some darker circular impressions where the upright logs had disintegrated. and we've traced that from the river all the way up to here. this is a reconstruction-ish that doesn't go deep enough to expose this layer. you can't see it in profile. but it only goes down about here. and you see, it's a little off, and we did that on purpose. because we didn't want to disturb any of the remains that we haven't dug. a lot of times we'll uncover what we call features and map them for the future, and then cover them back up. we really have to. so, we know that the line was here anyway, but it's good. this gives you an example of this layer. then when the bomb proof was -- when the room was put in, it cuts through, and this is gone. from here until you get to the other side and then it picks up again. a fort on a fort, that's the archeological process. you have to look

the palisades down, came in by side door. barkeep sold more booze us and is in any of the day of the week . concert halls, comics told it rude jokes such as caesar valet dancer. she dances on one leg and then the other. between the two ships a living. if you monitoring she could enjoy that free lunch counter. the standard price was a nickel, a shot of whiskey was a diet. rushing to grow levinson the new kid to fetch beer, a pail of beer. basically yorkers would sit on the steepened since the kid back and forth and said that going f2 tantillo. there would have a family experience. discover is that low and behold their open. everyone knew that. the whole board decides to shut down saloons on sunday. in makes it his crusade. and when he did that he would from popular public official to hated paris and in new york minute. it was astounding. six weeks into the job. and he tried to claim it was not a crusader against liquor, but rather against selective enforcement. over the coming months he was a lovely and repeatedly, he didn't m

i did pass becky a few times on the palisades. is that called the palisades?becky's on the phone. >> we were lost. >> we were lost. >> the hatch back, the one that has the -- there is room in the back seat, adults can sit in the back seat of a ferrari. the sound of of the engine is unlike anything i ever heard before. >> i thought the one with the top that you had, the commuter car, what would you do with that thing? >> i would commute. >> you would commute in that car? that's what you do with it? is that a car you take out on the weekend? how do you deal with that car? >> i don't think people put 16,000 miles a year on a ferrari. >> when i said to the pr woman who was helping us, i said when do people drive this car? she said, well, this is an every day car, the $300,000 car we were in was an every day car. >> i would use it every day. but you'd get a few tickets, number one. >> yes, you would. not you. >> my daughter's legs are about and both of them are growing so it's hard to get in the back. >> but that one was pretty comfortable. >> we're going to show s

what we see is treasury palisade with those of mehl events? >> in particular the june 28th date is important at the end of a rich and a country that purchases of oil from iran and pays the central bank it could be sanctioned unless the country has the significantly reduced imports if the country does reduce the imports than the financial institutions for 180 days. with the drive down of the amount of will iran can sell. for those who don't receive the reduction. after june 28 with the central bank iran is under sanctions if u.s. law. surely some of them will well. an article yesterday's saw that with the alternative payment mechanisms to you paid the nba to say 10 percent would be used with a private entity with the ministry that owns the oil. it is fair to say we will be skeptical of reference of alternative payments premise of the fact under rainman lot it says of revenues earned by any government industry have to be

when she retired from professional baseball in 1952, she settled in pacific palisades area and became a star for the orange lionette softball team, leading them to a world championship in 1993. she helped establish the women's exhibit at the baseball hall of fame in cooperston, new york -- cooperstown, new york, and she wanted to have all this recorded to keep the baseball league in the lime light. it gets pushed into the background, she said, just as women have been pushed into the background forever. if they knew more about our league, perhaps in the future some women will say, hey, maybe we can do it again. well, that's probably how all of us feel here in our bipartisan effort in women's softball. we're going to play this game on june 20, we're going to play against all of our women colleagues in tv and radio and in print, the media, and we're certainly hope that we're going to bring back a victory here. and if i may, mr. speaker, i wanted to just highlight a few people, really my contemporaries, in san diego, who have made such a contribution. because they're well known in our com
