Switzerland of South America - Montevideo
We took a bus from Colonia to Montevideo, in 2.5 hours we got there. The journey was plesant, I was even able to sleep. My expectactions were quite low for Montevideo, the biggest motivation was to find the place where my grandfather born and lived.
After dealing with the burocracy of the public civil register of Montevideo, I was able to get …
Some thoughts
... of the trip was alone. Mixing the mode is good. I would do the same again. The Internet makes a huge difference to those who travel alone. One keeps in touch with a large group. You all. You kept me pumped, happy, and feeling like I was doing something more than just boosting my own ego. You gave me a purpose and a task which was important as I wandered from day to day.
Each country is really ...

The tale I now set out to tell has been pieced together from all perspectives but one, and he wasn't in the mood to stick around for whatever reason.

We both agreed we were hungry so we walked about until we heard drums playing and very lively music. We followed our ears and the cheering happy people into what looked like an old train station now made up of various restaurants (an open air concept ...

Description About Family Article
How to Build Strong Family Ties
Family life is something that happens every where in the world. From more than one aspect the most important is the family. The way families live in a country is what affects the culture of every nation in the world. What ever some one learns from their family life is usually the way they will turn out in life. The capability that a family has to teach some one is greater than any other group. In order to strengthen the family ties and relations stability needs to be done by taking certain steps.
With any family, the children live with the parents. When two people become united and legally recognized and have children they become parents. These children may be biological or adopted. A surname is usually shared with the family. Most families have a common living space in which they stay together. In the demography view the family is the unit of utmost importance. The concept of a family is both very social and cultural. The way a culture flourishes is affected by the way its family members react and interact with each other. In order to create a sense of responsibility and the decision o make your family one full of happiness, we need to assess ourselves. This includes making our family ties stronger by talking with other family members. There must be a mutual understanding among every member of the family. A family that understands each other is a major bonding that makes family ties stronger.
Building a home could be the most important thing you can do for your family. Certain things need to be done in order to create a home for your family. Paying the utmost attention to these things will make the quality of family life be the most that it can be. Taking these small steps will help build a better, stronger level of understanding among the family members, and create even stronger family ties with each other.
Creating a habit of eating together can be a good way to become closer to your family. Although, there will be times when not everyone can be there to eat with the family. Still it helps to try and make a habit out of eating together as a family whenever permitted. This allows you to make the most out of the situation and bring the family closer to one another.
Another way to be close to your family and build the family ties is taking a vacation together. Children are easier to deal with during every day life when they are able to actually vacation with their parents.
Spending time together as a family is the purpose of these activities. Remember to create a better level of understanding with your family by spending more time with each other.

Newport, VT: A City on the Verge
As a summer's day came to a close and the sun began to sink over Lake Memphremagog, the captain's voice came over the loudspeaker aboard the Northern Star, a small cruise boat that takes evening cruises on this big lake separating Vermont and Canada.
"We're just about to cross the border into Canada," he said, noting the floating markers across the lake. "But we
won't be needing our passports because we're not going much farther."
At each side of the lake the border was marked by clear cut trees, a clean ribbon denoting our national border.
If we had kept traveling north another 20 miles we would have been in a thriving tourist city, Magog, in Quebec.
Newport Vermont has ambitions to be as vibrant and to draw almost as many tourists as Magog, and today, six decrepit buildings await the wrecking ball as a plan envisioned by local business leader Bill Stenger plays out.
EB5 Funding is the Key
The plan is modeled after the successful funding of $200 million for a water park, ice rink, and three new lodging buildings at nearby Jay Peak Resort using the EB5 program. This federal program allows foreigners to invest in certain qualifying job-creating projects in the US in exchange for green cards for them and their families to live in the US.
Locally, there is a mix of skepticism and excitement for Stenger's idea of tearing down the big chunk of Main Street and replacing it with a five-story mix of swank retail shops and apartments. The small town of 5000 residents has seen and heard plenty of talk over the years.
But Stenger's vision for Newport goes further. For example, who ever thought to have a supermarket's ugly dumpster and parking area face a scenic lake? He wants to raze the market and build a hotel, conference center and marina to make the lakefront the city's jewel.
Today in Newport, even though millions have been spent lakeside on a city building and a bike trail as well as the new Northeast Kingdom Tasting Center, there are stubborn locals who balk at the idea of turning the sleepy town into someplace exciting. But as Stemple grinds on and meets deadlines locals and transplants alike are beginning to believe that someday Newport can become a popular tourist destination.
Northeast Kingdom Tasting Center
One exciting project that's already been built in a unique partnership is the Northeast Kingdom Tasting Center, in a former two-story department store downtown. The old store was converted into a thriving restaurant and a selection of stalls offering tastes of Vermont-grown produce, meats, wines and other local products.
Inside the high ceilinged tasting area, friendly vendors share samples of their cheeses,
maple syrup products and charcuterie. There is also a bakery that relocated from the condemned houses across the street. The Brown Dog Bistro is the anchor restaurant on the main floor, and here we tasted some of the local meats and beers while hearing about the exciting plans afoot with new owners in nearby Burke Mountain and the ongoing developments at Jay Peak.
"Trains used to bring people here from Boston back in the day," said Rob Hodgkins, Director of Resort Sales at Jay Peak. "Newport was definitely on the tourist map, and it can get that way again."
Winter Fun
Every winter locals make use of the big lake when it freezes. Besides a colony of ice-fishing shacks, they plow a path for miles of ice skating and some people travel all the way to Canada!
Just outside of Newport, past a collection of rusting snow cats is Kingdom Brewing, where Jenn Cook and her husband Brian brew beer using a geothermal system and a wood burning furnace. Jenn is one of only two female brewers in Vermont, and Brian is the tinkerer who built their 15 barrel system next to their farm, where they raise angus beef cattle.
A highlight of their herd's day is when Brian loads up a bucket full of spent mash that makes the cows run for their feeding station. They LOVE the mash with its sweet liquid, non-alcoholic
by-products of the beer making process.
Visitors flock to the brewery's cozy tasting room for the newest brews and they like to watch the angus slurping up their hoppy feed.
It's all a part of the Kingdom Brewing Experience!
In this part of Vermont, local beers are revered, said Cook. For instance, when the Hill Farmland Brewery releases one of their rare brews, fans follow the trucks just to get a taste.
At Kingdom Brewing, Jenn makes one beer using maple sap instead of water. She also experiments with different tastes, like using spruce tips in place of hops. We tried their pumpkin Imperial IPA and a 16% alcohol drink they make called The Taste of the Kingdom, which is aged in oak barrels. Delicious!
Clyde River Paddling
There are a lot of fun things to do in this part of Vermont, thanks to the gorgeous green surroundings and abundant natural attractions.
A highlight for us was a leisurely paddle down the Clyde River in rented kayaks. For only $18 each, we were suited up with kayaks, life jackets and given a ride ten miles up river.
There we joined a legion of others who meandered down the winding river, enjoying the natural beauty and a nice steady water flow. Contact Clyde River Recreation at 802-895-4400 in West Charleston VT.
Vermont Reindeer Farm
We drove the scenic farm roads, stopping at farmstands and looking at bric-a-brac on our way to the state's only reindeer farm, operated by a former school teacher, Pauline Broe, who really knows how to create attractions that kids enjoy.
A tour of her small farm starts with various animals like donkeys and ducks in a small pen and then goes into the barn for some hands-on patting of goats, bunnies, and other animals.
There is a nature trail that is easy to navigate with kids and of course, the star attractions--Comet and Prancer and Blixen. These rescued reindeer, who come from all over the country, have soft velvet antlers and the same face as a cow. They are a treat to see up close. Once they lived in Disneyland in California, and now they live in a more suitable climate in Newport. Find out more about visiting the reindeer at the Vermont Reindeer Farm, 3108 Chilafoux Rd West Charleston. 802-754-9583.
Vermont, more than any other eastern state, is prouder of its farmers than just about anyone else. There are many young farmers making a good living in the Green Mountain State, and to the locals they are the rock stars!
Visiting farms brings you close to their products and they love sharing their stories. Not all farms want visitors from the flatlands, but if you call ahead, you can often set up a family visit.
Butterworks Farm
In Westfield, outside of Newport, is one of the state's oldest organic farms, that began producing cheeses, cream and yogurt in 1979.
They don't use any antibiotics or hormones, relying on the natural, nutrient rich soils and grass to sustain their cows.
Jack and Christine Lazor and their family have a herd of happy Jersey cows.
They're probably so happy because they get to graze a beautiful new swath of green grass every week, while their owners move the fences to move to greener pastures to feed their ravenous appetites.
During the winter, they live in a solar barn where fresh bedding is added twice a day from November to May so they don't have to go outside into the cold. During the summer they spend most of their time munching all of that abundant Vermont grass and timothy.
You'll find Butterwork's products such as their yogurt in stores like Whole Foods.
Berry Creek Farm
At Berry Creek Farm, the star is definitely the organic vegetables. For 22 years Rosemary and Gerard Croizet have led Vermont's organic revolution and now have a retail store with gorgeous veggies for visitors and a CSA for local residents who want a weekly bag of goodness they can pick up.
Gerard was born in France, where he met Rosemary, and he has the taciturn yet friendly demeanor of a man with a lot of work ahead of him. It's a busy place--because farming is a whole lot of work!
Berry Creek's farm store here offers homemade jams, maple syrup, honey, salad dressings, hanging baskets and of course a large selection of organic produce. You can tour the farm and see where each of their delicious veggies comes from!

Coos County, NH: Ride the Wilds
Coos is at the very tip of the state, 90 miles north of the interstate, where the roads are hilly and the scenery can be breathtaking.
"Ride the Wilds" personifies the new optimism in the North Country. The paper mills closed. The furniture manufacturers laid everyone off. The hardscabble New Englanders needed a redo.
So they took their best asset, the beauty of the nature around them, encouraged and supported each other's new outdoor businesses, created jobs, and are riding the wild right out of this recession. And guess what? It's working!
Bear Rock Adventures
You the traveler and adventurer benefit from the growing number of fun and family friendly activities that are now available in this most northern of New Hampshire's counties. We started our Ride the Wild experience high on a hill in Colebrook at Bear Rock Adventures. A converted barn housing clean and new ATVs sits beside the trailhead to 1000 miles of riding –- the largest ATV park in the country.
You can go for an hour ride or you can go and go and go... These two or six seat vehicles are loads of fun to drive yourself or you can l
et a competent guide drive you.
I enjoyed being driven by our guide Casey Hibbard. While bumping and splashing through woods and fields she shared stories of the area, the possible renovation of Dixville Notch Resort which we could see through our mud splattered windshield.
She even drove us into town where we filled up with diesel fuel. Due to a smart change in state law you can now drive ATVs on the local roads to get gas, lunch, go to your hotel, or onto other trails.
I asked Casey if the 1000 mile trail was restricted to ATVs. "Oh no!" she said "the trails are open to all. Hikers, mountain bikers, cross country skiers, snowmobilers, horseback riders. Kids as young as 12 can drive the ATVs.
"And grandparents enjoy going for the ride too especially the sunset tour when you can often see a moose" she said. Another ATV driver told me he saw a bear swimming across the river during his trail ride. I was glad Casey knew the way back. Rates start at $150 for 1/2 day.
Rafting the Rapid River
Our next wild ride took us whitewater rafting on the Rapid River, the steepest river in Maine. A sleepy looking group of us assembled In Errol, NH. Soon we would be at full wide awake attention! Jim Cochran, founder of ELC Rafting, put us on his bus for a pleasant ride into Maine to our launching site called "Pond in the River." We climbed into inflatable rubber rafts and sevenpeople per raft (owner Jim was our boat guide).
A leisurely half-hour paddle followed. "Where is the whitewater?" I asked Jim."Just wait."
And suddenly, even oddly, the silence changed to the sound of cascading water as the pond (a lake really) gave way to a roaring river. We hurtled down past boulders with water splashing onto our faces and Jim yelling "pull right" and "pull left" and "do not to fall overboard" and other orders I barely heard over the increasing cacophony of quickening water.
We came to a calmer section and we all congratulated each other on our teamwork. The next set of rapids called Devil's Hopyard, proved even more challenging.
Here we learned many rafts flip over. We hung on but we did go over a boulder with a big splash and get stuck behind it spinning wildly until all of us, pulling together, popped out of the eddy with a jolt. What fun!
During our lunch break most of us took a swim in the cascading water (all wearing life jackets). It really was not a swim, more like a roller coaster ride. And most surprisingly the water was comfortable, almost warm. Because the headwaters to the Rapid River comes from a shallow sunshine absorbing lake the water temperature was very comfortable.
Returning Every Year
Andrea and her two sons from West Virginia shared my boat. Every year they return to the North Country for a summer adventure. This was their second trip with ELC Rafting. At some point we crossed back into New Hampshire and our Rapid River spilled into scenic Lake Umbagog. We climbed into waiting pontoon boats for an hour-long trip across the lake.
I was tired from all the paddling and glad for the rest. I sat next to Andrea a dental assistant from Rhode Island. Her husband and their four children still looked eager for more. "How did you pick this trip?" I asked her. "I have always been afraid of rapids and whitewater," she said. "And the kids wanted to do it."
"Did you enjoy it?" "Oh yes, we'll be back next summer." Our pontoon pulled into dock as a black lab leaped 20 feet off the pier in pursuit of a flying stick. A short walk from the pier brought us to our
waiting cars. Perfect. www.maine-rafting.com
Our Cabin with a View
We settled in for the night at the Cabins at Lopstick, Pittsburg. The peculiar name comes from what is left when someone has logged a bunch of trees, and just one tree remains...the lopstick.
Our cabin, nestled high on a hill overlooking the First Connecticut Lake, gave us that New Hampshire back woods feel but with all the creature comforts.
Over a glass of wine on our deck we congratulated ourselves on making reservations as all 58 cabins were sold out, which is a common occurence we learned.Our cabin had three bedrooms, a full kitchen, an outside grill, and two full baths.
The beds were comfortable; everything was very clean. Management offers kayak and canoe rentals. Canada is just nine miles up the road.
The place to eat in Pittsburg is Murphy's Steakhouse. On our way to dinner we saw a sign by the side of the road, "Do Not Stop to Watch Moose." In front of and in back of the sign 20 cars parked, with us it made 21. At the woods edge, grazing and ignoring all the people, stood a pair of magnificent moose. These moose were our second moose sighting in two days!
An old farmhouse was tastefully converted into Murphy's Steakhouse. We sat in the former living room. While enjoying our gourmet meal (much more than steaks are offered) the owner, Georgie Lyons, stopped by to chat.
We could tell Georgie enjoyed her work. "It is like a dinner party every night," she said. While talking with her I got the feeling we were in a special place in the North Country where time slowed down and people relished time to talk and listen to each other.
I got the same feeling walking the next morning into "Le Rendez-vous Bakery," in Colebrook and meeting Verlaine Daeron. Verlaine and her husband Marc Ounis, from Paris, France no less, own and operate this
authentic French Cafe.
A few years ago on a trip back to Paris Verlaine and Marc found they were denied entry back to the US by the Immigration Bureau.
As beloved members of the Colebrook community outraged citizens besieged their Congressmen to "let our French friends back!" It worked. The Rendez-vous is a unique treasure for locals and for travelers to discover.
Fly Fishing on the Connecticut River
Perhaps my last but favorite "Ride the Wild" North Country adventure was fly fishing. We met Bill Barnhardt of Lopstick Outfitters , a ruggedly handsome licensed New Hampshire Guide, back at the Lopstick Cabin headquarters. He outfitted us with waders and special nonslip waterproof boots. In order to get our one-day NH fishing license we had pay $15 and answer a government questionnaire (hair color, DOB, weight, eye color etc. - do the fish care and what happened to "live free or die")?
Off we went on a sun dappled summer day in Bills comfortable truck to fish the headwaters of the Connecticut River. The secret spot Bill chose we found full of other fly fishermen. "No problem," Bill said and off we went to another, more secluded location known to our local expert.
That is only one reason we were glad we had a professional guide. He picked the right type of wet flies, he held our hand to make sure we did not fall as we walked across the Connecticut River several times (it was only 10 yards wide), he taught us how to p
roperly cast and he told us of his adventures as a fishing guide in Patagonia, Chile.
Under Bill's tutelage we both caught some beautiful rainbow trout which we promptly released. Bill knows his fly fishing and is a delight to spend time with, especially if you're holding a fish rod.
Getting to Northern New Hampshire
The beautiful and uncrowded interstate 91 goes as far north as Littleton, NH, and from there it's all two-lane winding roads. It's 90 miles to Colebrook and about 20 more miles to the Canadian border. There are few large stores up here, so plan ahead.

ASICS Men's GT 1000 2 Running Shoes

Several weeks prior to my trip I did a little research online to find a good hotel near the battlefield and found out that the town is peppered with inexpensive little bed and breakfast houses. I made reservations for two nights at a peaceful and well-kept B&B called the Gaslight Inn located near what would be considered "downtown" Gettysburg. It's within walking distance of the battlefields, but to really enjoy your visit a set of wheels is a must.
There are more traditional hotels and motels around Gettysburg, but I highly recommend staying in one of the several bed and breakfast houses the small town has to offer. It will certainly add to your experience as each location has its own personality and way of doing things. For example, at The Gaslight Inn residents are given a copy of the keys to the house to use if they are out late just as if they're in town visiting relatives.
The two mornings I was there I also signed up for the breakfast served on the back patio where guests share a table, have a wonderful home-made meal, and get to know each other a little better before going off on their separate ways. This makes for a great opportunity to meet people who are passing through and exchange information about tour options, eateries, and other experiences everyone may have had the day before or are anticipating later that day.
Something a Little Different
Instead of doing a blow by blow of the traditional tourist spots at Gettysburg, I want to describe one of my more memorable experiences from the trip which was my evening with a group of ghost hunters on a haunted tour of the battlefields with the illustrious Miss Betty.
Miss Betty's ghost tour was recommended to me by the hostess of the Gaslight Inn so I called her up and made a reservation for the next night's tour. A small group of maybe ten folks met up with Miss Betty in the nearby elementary school parking lot. We packed into a small caravan of three cars led by Miss Betty towards the outskirts of town where the old Sach's Bridge is located.
Since I was the only person who arrived solo I rode with Miss Betty in her little car where I discussed with her my longing to see supernatural phenomenon while at the same time being a devout skeptic. This point of view stoked her interest and she would check in with me periodically throughout the rest of the evening to see if I had been convinced by anything I had witnessed.
Our brief stop at Sach's Bridge lasted through dusk and was accompanied by several ghost stories from Miss Betty ranging from various atrocities taking place their during the battle to local children seeing spirits marching up the nearby road just a few months earlier. We were also encouraged to take pictures throughout the evening because it was near these spiritual epicenters where floating orbs and spectral manifestations would miraculously appear in photos even when they may not have been visible in person. I took lots of photos with my Canon XT, but I never captured any of these orbs.
We made two more stops during the tour: a visit to a forsaken gazebo near a haunted inn (which was possibly built next to a mass grave) and a field next to the public school where several Confederate soldiers from Louisiana had been massacred.
The eeriness of the locations, the sweet but pungent odor of the Pennsylvania grass, and the haunting tales weaved by the charismatic Miss Betty provided for an unbelievably entertaining and inexpensive evening ($15 after the Gaslight Inn discount).
There also seems to be some limitations enforced by park rangers with regards to people being out and about the battlefields after dark, and the official ghost tours are a great way to be driving through the park at night without being harassed by rangers.

Running From Bulls in Southwest France
On this radiant summer day in early august I had taken the train up from Pau, a small city in France that I had called home for the past month, for the final day of the Fêtes de Bayonne. Every year a million people of all ages travel here to attend France's largest festival, it starts on the Wednesday before the first Sunday in August.
That afternoon I had joined my companions in the chaos of the bull ring. As the bull charged past us we retreated, truly alarmed, towards the large metal grating of the surrounding fence. A thousand people were inside, many more filled the temporary staging and spilled into the street.
Far beyond the dramatic and perhaps absurd acrobatics of chasing bulls, the Fêtes de Bayonne is an unparalleled experience. I recommend the festival for anyone with a love of music, dancing and pageantry.
Much more to do in BayonneAlthough I highly recommend attending this celebration of music and culture, there is much to do when visiting Bayonne during the other 51 weeks in the year.
If you want to dive into the Basque culture without droves of people crowding the streets and running bulls, a visit to the Musee Basque (Basque Museum) is an excellent alternative.
If you don't speak any of the languages mentioned earlier, you can easily pick up an English guide at the front desk to lead you through the many interesting facets of basque history.
A more relaxing stop is the Jardin Botanique, A small botanical garden near the cathedral that is the perfect place to sit and relax with picnic aperitif. There are many Japanese-style bridges crossing the small stream that cuts through the center, and a walk through will definitely be a nice break from the city streets surrounding it.
If you get a chance be sure to stop by Le Square Gormand, a small restaurant/bar that will serve you some great French cuisine at a very reasonable price. It is easy to tell that all of their meat (and bread of course) is from the surrounding area and very fresh.
Next time you find yourself in Southwestern France, be sure to make Bayonne a stop on your adventure. Hopefully, if you're timing is right, you'll experience one of the greatest week long festivals Europe has to offer.

As recomended by Portland natives!
Portland is a great city, and as it turns out, a very family friendly one. Full of unique museums, entertainment, amazing food, and beautiful nature, Portland holds more for the family than one might expect.

OMSI is the science museum of science museums in Portland. With unique exhibits, a planetarium, hands-on science labs, an empirical theater and more, this museum is fantastic for kids and adults alike- or "big kids" as one mother called herself.

For children six and younger, there's a 'Science Playground,' full of water stations, a 'sandland,' and even an area for infants. In adition to other hands-on exhibits and the planetarium, for older children there is a real U.S. Navy submarine, in operation in the Pacific ocean for 31 years and used in movies and television shows, available for tours.

Portland is one of only four cities in the United States that hold an extinct volcano, and at its peak you can find basketball courts and an outdoor amphitheater which showcases events, shows, and concerts.
Tabor Park is also home to playgrounds and tennis courts, trails for hiking and biking, rest areas to have picnics, and is simply a beautiful area to explore nature with the family.

Described as an "urban amusement park for any age," Jamison Square is located in downtown Portland and is a great place for the kids to cool off on a warm day.
A fountain in the middle of the park that lets out into a pool creates a "mini water park" for children of any age to play and splasharound in.

The Portland Aerial Tram is a unique way to see the city, from above! "In addition to one of the nation's only aerial commuter trams, you'll see cars, buses, shuttles, a streetcar, a soaring pedestrian bridge, a shipyard, a cycle track, and the densest bike parking in America's #1 biking city."

If anybody considers Twitter and other status-update tools all about self-exposure (I don't, but glad to "talk" with you about that in Twitter, Facebook, email, or the ConnectSafely forum), and consequently all about youth, the Pew Internet & American Life Project has evidence to the contrary – just out today. It found that "one out of five Internet users now say they use Twitter or some other service to share status updates about themselves, or to keep tabs on others." That's from a survey of adult Internet users – 2,200 of them. The 19% who now use status-update services is up from 11% last April. Here's more in a Wall Street Journal blog.

"great, strange Indian things - and a bit dated"
there are some things that make this book seem dated and some are that they mention that they have to change the "film" in a camera and that it is better to use a new camera so as not to expose the film to the environment on mars - another is the "tape" in a video camera, which video cameras have tapes but like the "film" camera it would be digital on an internal storage and maybe some kinda flash or crystal storage thingie (NASA uses digital cameras all the time probably before 1992 when this was written)
also there is strange parts about Indians, American Indians that is and there culture which makes the book seem strange at times but it only lasts a couple of scenes
there isnt much detail describing the size of things like the habitat they are living in on Mars and how big the rovers are or even exactly what they look like (they do describe the shape of it but its not much and could be describing a rock or something)
I plan to read the other books that follow this and I hope for the same quality with them as I got with this one
"end of sequence 5"
This is the last book in this sequence and really at this time 30 Oct 2014 this is the last book in this whole series of books but more are being created now so if like me you really liked these books you want more but after reading these books for like 9 months I want to take a break so I a few years I hope a few more sequences are released and I can get back into this.
This whole series was great, a few of the books were a little better then the others otherwise it would have been a 5 star across the board.
The narrator was simply great, he did a great job at the different voices with exception of maybe a few that I thought was someone else - like Brens Brother and some guy from the state department, the voices sound pretty much the same but I guess this can happen in real life and there are only so many voices one can do and there were lots of characters in this whole series so the narrator did a great job, 5 star for sure.
"second book of sequence 5"
check the first book in this sequence for the full review.
This continues where thing's left off in the last book and there is 1 more book left in this sequence so if you have read this one you have to go to the next one to really get an ending, as I have said a few times before these are 1 book split into 3 for the sequences.
"book 1 of sequence 5"
It goes without saying that if you have read this far then you are going to continue the whole series and at this point on 30 Oct 2014 this is the last sequence available now however there are books planed and I think one is in the works now.
This will be a review of the whole sequence as I have said in all the other reviews.
The Civil War is over at this point and after these many books it comes back to Cageiri and his friends from the space ship as you were probably wanting to know what happens since like the second or third sequence when they were introduced, the whole sequence of books pretty much focus around Cageiri and his friends split between Bren and all the things he has to do.
What I have really liked about this whole series is the way it goes to another story and feels like a totally different group of books but in the same world, I cant wait for the rest of the story to be created.
"the last book in this 4th sequence"
This is like the other reviews that I have done the real review is really in the first book in the sequences for each group of them so go there and read that.
This being the last book in the sequence doesn't end in a cliff hanger so you can wait if you need and read the next sequence later.
"the 2nd book in the 4th sequence"
This is again not really a review because the full review is in the first book int eh sequence, but this whole group of books has still stayed good all the way up to this point and to be honest at the end as well, or up to the 15th book as of this review that's all that's out now.
"sequence 4, 10 books in and its still great"
This is going to be a review of all 3 books in this sequence.
This story arc gets a little political but its part of the main story so you want to read them even if political stuff is something you hate.
This one takes place directly after the last sequence which is a little different than the other sequences of books, those usually had a good ending that you could just wait and read the next sequence later but this one is almost the same story a direct continuation.
The whole planet is all messed up and even the Human continent is having problems and really its up to Bren to get things fixed, he gets his own estate and everything.
I really love how this whole series of books has gone so far and although this is only a 4 star review that's because it was a little less exciting as the other sequences but its still great.
"the 3rd book in the 3rd sequence"
This is the end of this sequence and you get a sense of what is going to come next but if you really got this far you probably will go to the end of all the sequences, so I think these reviews are just to ensure you that it continues to stay good even at this point 9 books into it this set of books has gotten even better.
"book 2 in the 3rd sequence"
this is just sorta a mini review because the full review is in the first book of the sequence so go there and read that if you are reading this.
As these books are sorta 1 book per sequence just split up into 3 books they are sorta different but all end with cliff hangers so if you start a sequence you want to finish it.
"great 3rd series of books"
This is the 3rd group of books and if you have gotten this far you will probably be continuing to the end of these books. As I have said in all of these reviews this is a review of the 3 books in the sequence since they all are really 1 book.
This is something you could have figured out was going to happen if you read the last set of books, they go to meet aliens that might or might not be hostile as they did probably attack the space station there then upon returning to the planet you are wondering what has happened and it plays out pretty nicely as things start getting taken back under control but there are all sorts of things going wrong.
These stories are great and they all take place in the same world but all the sequences are different sets of stories and you get the sense that they all could go on for different generations of the characters in there, I hope future books will do this.
"the last book in this sequence"
This is the last book in the sequence but the story goes on and in the end you will see there is something going on on the planet that must be figured out.
These books have been going pretty good so far.

Algebra is a key basic component of math that once understood is the building block of success in math. If the foundations are not solid, then whatever the building that is being built will not be strong and sturdy. Anyone can learn Algebra, all you have to know is multiplication and everything else builds on top of that. It is also easier to approach math if one thinks of it as a language. Once you understand the grammar, you will start fluent in the basics and it will be a cascade chain of events once you get to higher level of math. I made a C in 4th grade and ever since have been always asking questions until I am satisfied. My main advice to anyone taking math would be to ask questions no matter how stupid the question sounds.
is important to understand the question before trying to attempt to solve the question. the answer is hidden within the question just like you know you just have to brush the sand away to get to thr bottom of the sandbox. once you truly have a firm foundation in the essentials of the subject is when you can learn more easier
I have taught students how to make ASP.NET applications in the past. ASP.NET has two components: a front-end side that is like a regular website and back-end development to program the functionality of the application at the server side. It is important to make proper database designs on top of having a properly functioning website with CSS, Javascript and HTML. I have experience with using Visual Basic for the back-end development. It is also important to use Visual Studio in a manner that is efficient and effective. You also have to have a database that supports the login functionality to make sure proper users are logging into the application, so a basic ASP.NET application would have two databases running behind the website. I have used Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and SQL Server 2008 for the production of the web application.
Chemistry has many foundations that must be solidified before learning the complex part of chemistry. It is first about conceptually analyzing what you have before you can work a problem out. Chemistry is cumulative and once the basics are understood then the more complex parts become easy.
I have used MS Project in System Analysis & Design and Global IT Project Management class at Kennesaw State University. MS Project is a super powerful tool and I got it for free because I needed it for class. Gnatt charts are extremely useful and can be applied to anything. A project is something that you have to do, and this means that is goal oriented. If you have a project that is complicated, you have to break it down into smaller projects.
I am very comfortable with installing Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. I have experience with running virtual computers and using the iso images to install the operating system. I am also very savvy with my way around Windows operating system. I have taken an operating systems class at Mercer, and I enjoyed partitioning hard drives to install operating systems.
Getting ready for calculus is not easy if you approach it in a manner that makes you more confused. I focus on learning all the foundational material that is required before precalculus before going further in that subject. The most basic math is where I see lot of problems, and once a student is able to understand the basics, the knowing the basics will be the byproduct of focusing on the understanding.
I took Web Development I at Kennesaw State University, and I got an A in this course. I am very fluent in HTML and CSS. I have also taught HTML and CSS to multiple classmates to help with their understanding.

Arby's - "America's Roast Beef Yes Sir!" (Commercial, 1981)
Here's a commercial for Arby's featuring Wolfman Jack and some Laurel & Hardy impersonators.
"The names of the two Laurel & Hardy impressionists who appear are Jim MacGeorge (Who plays Stan Laurel) and Chuck McCann (who Plays Oliver Hardy). MacGeorge is also known for doing voice overs for many tv cartoon series: EG "Capt. Huffenpuff" for "The Beany & Cecil Show" and "Whimper" For "Clue Club" and "Woofer & Whimper:Dog Detecives". McCann has also done voice overs for many tv cartoon series and for radio and tv commercials. He has also acted in many tv commercials, in the movies and on many tv series. McCann was also the host/performer of many former NYC based kids tv shows EG's "Laurel & Hardy & Chuck!", "Let's Have Fun!", "The Chuck McCann Shows", "The Great Bombo's Magic Cartoon Circus Lunchtime Show" and "Chuck McCann's L&H Hardy Show". (On "L&H&C" he didn't play Oliver Hardy in the flesh - he voiced and manipulated an Oliver Hardy Hand puppet. He played Oliver Hardy as a real person and oftimes as a hand puppet on "Chuck McCann's L&H Show")"
How many of you remembered that Arby's stood for "America's Roast Beef Yes Sir!" Yeah, that's what I thought...
Ahh, I could go for a giant cup of horsey sauce disguised as a vanilla shake right now...
This aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, March 24th 1981.

Was one of the Laurel or Hardy impersonators portrayed by Chuck McCann who was famous for other TV commercials like Right Guard ("Hi guy, one shot and I'm good for the whole day!"), Cocoa Puffs (voicing Sonny the Cuckoo Bird), and Dr. Pepper?

Yup...that's Chuck McCann as Hardy in the commercial. McCann also provided the voice of Cool McCool. (Cool McCool was created by Bob Kane, the creator of BatMan.) The actor playing Laurel is Jim MacGeorge. Jim MacGeorge did the voice of Oliver Hardy in the Laurel & Hardy cartoons. (The voice of Stan Laurel in these were voiced by Larry Harmon, who owns the rights to both Bozo the Clown and Laurel & Hardy.) Another interesting bit of trivia on Mr. MacGeorge...He wrote every episode of Jay Ward's cartoon, Super Chicken.

Is it too late to say I DID know that's what Arby's stood for? I thought so. :( When I was a kid, a friend of mine & I always said when we became famous rock stars we were going to have a pool shaped like the Arby's hat sign.

Fuzzymemories: Do you have the other Arby's America's Roast Beef Yes Sir campaign commercials:
* One with an appearance by Bowzer of Sha Na Na.
* One with an appearance by Batman and Robin (Adam West and Burt Ward in costume?)
* One for B.C. Ice Age Glasses (Summer 1981)?

Actually, Arby's name comes from the Raffel Brothers. R & B. They wanted to name their restaurants "Big Tex" but it was already being used by an Akron, Ohio business.

It was Missy Gold in the Burger King ad. Funny because I knew that the second I saw her. She wouldn't be known to a national audience until Benson's debut in 1979.

Creature Features
- "The Raven" (Opening & Bumper Excerpts, 1978)
on Monday, November 17th, 2014 at 1:59pm CT
I'm so glad this footage has turned up--I remembered seeing Creature Features in the late '70s and early '80s, but every historical reference I could find on the Interwebs told me that it ended in May 1976, so I assumed my memory was just wrong...until now! I also remember the simple opening with the blue slide. I must have been up late during summer vacation to see it, and I don't know which movie I saw (Kronos, maybe, since I remember seeing that on CF, though it only aired once in the "classic" era...when I was 9), but I remember being shocked (and thrilled!) to see it still on the air. I still have dreams about the show, too--usually that somebody has at least briefly revived it and I've stumbled across it on cable. (You listening Antenna TV? Cozi? This?)

These puppets were later used on a show called I.N.K. -- Interesting News for Kids. I thought it was on WMAQ, but maybe I'm wrong on that. The mic was named Mike Rafone, (get it?), and the show also featured a character who was a spider that looked like a black glove with a huge black pin cushion sewn onto the top of it. This is the ONLY reference I've seen to the show in years.

Did this ever go anywhere, or was it just an opening, which was also used, (as I remember), as a commercial? I don't remember ever seeing the host doing any bumpers or skits, ala Svengoolie.

Town Square
Town Hall Meeting Shot Down By Jellins/Duboc/Winkler
Original post made by CouncilWatcher, Menlo Park: Sharon Heights, on Nov 15, 2006
Upon hearing this, however, our esteemed Mayor Jellins quickly shot down the idea fearing that - God forbid - regular people could actually come and discuss their issues with council members in an open and informal setting.
He immediately forbid further discussion of the matter entirely, forcing a vote on whether there would be a discussion at all. The vote? You guessed it - 3-2 with the no's being Jellins-Duboc-Winkler.
Closed government without public input right to the end, eh Mayor Cheney (I mean Jellins)???

just have the forum anyway, no Brown Act violation, Andy/Kelly should have a key for the council chambers or another venue if needed. Defying the current mayor and exercising right of assembly would show how juvenile he has become. What's he going to do, charge the taxpayers and have the city atty. get a restraining order?, have the police block the doors? Shouldn't cost anything to run a community service ad in the Almanac/Daily News announcing the town hall meeting. Go for it and expose Jellins and his bunch of sore losers for what they are. Arrogant, no class jerks.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

G-Unit leader 50 Cent recently spoke on his determination to match the success of Get Rich or Die Tryin' and how he plans to attack his acting career.
In addition to speaking on his debut album's sales, Fif also explained his recent venture into acting.
"[The movie Twelve] is one of the projects I'm excited about," Fif said in an interview about his movie role. "Joe Schumaker is definitely a great movie director. [Acting] allows me to explore different emotions. I can't remember the last time I was just crying randomly. I guess I've learned to suppress those emotions. You know, over time, in the environment I grew up in, it can be interpreted as you're weak…In entertainment, I believe the public builds you up, they build entertainers in order to destroy them for the sake of entertainment. Through music, in some ways I've typecast myself. The success of Get Rich [or Die Tryin'], I have to match it. It's a gift and a curse when you have your first album sell 12 million records they look at you and say can you do it again? [The economy's problems] is a perfect way to start it. Because where we are economically, you have to groom yourself completely. You can't really leave room for you to grow into that space, you have to come ready." (Fox News)
Despite his initial success, Fif's G-Unit camp has been known to receive a share of negative attention.
"Everybody hates G-Unit but we not mad, we making our money and doing what we gotta do," Tony Yayo said in a recent interview. "The smacking of [The Game's manager] Jimmy Henchman's son, I didn't do it, but he lied and said I did, so the media's just gonna run with that. The New York Daily News went too far with that one, I have three kids, so that's one thing that really bothered me. But I'm used to it, I'm down with G-Unit, nobody likes 50 Cent so nobody likes me." (Radio Planet TV)
50's publicized beefs have also drawn the ire of rappers such as Rick Ross, Ja Rule, The Game and Fat Joe.
"I'ma show you that footage of Joe walking through the hood in Angola," Fat Joe said in a recent interview. "I can't believe that one. Man look you in your eye, yap you and walk off? That's amazing. I never seen no sh*t like that in my life…That p*ssy was shocked…It's irrelevant [if 50 got the chain back.] You get robbed in front of America? This is what I'm saying, did he get robbed in front of America? This is my sh*t, get the chain back? That's that bullsh*t, a n*gga get robbed and then you send your man 'cause he know him and get the chain back? N*gga you the illest gangsta? You the killer of all killers and n*gga robbing you on TV? He got robbed on TV. Never seen no sh*t like that in my whole life. That's incredible, Smack. Ask him about that sh*t because he's been keeping it real low though. I ain't hear from that n*gga in a minute. He ain't tryin' to argue with n*ggas, 'Yo, let's keep the fat n*gga quiet, let's keep Game quiet, let's keep everybody quiet and it'll die over.'" (SmackTube)
Fif will reportedly play the role of a bad guy in his upcoming film, Twelve.
"I'm currently shooting the movie Twelve with Joe Schumaker," Fif said in an interview. "I play Lionel in that film. It's an interesting character, the dynamics of it is kinda extreme. You know, I play a drug dealer that doesn't actually need support, he's previously been an enforcer, so he doesn't really have people around him. I'm the connection between, I'm from Harlem, there's a connection between me and the kids from mid-town, well, wealthy kids from mid-town that feel like it's exciting to be around the danger that's in the inner cities on some levels so they make their way down there." (MTV)
A release date for Before I Self Destruct has not yet been announced.
Check out Fif's interview below:
