Villabois Lavalette
Dordogne (Or just on the edge, we're really in Charente - Villabois Lavalette)
October - 1
We leave Najac by 9.00am and drive to Limoges to pick-up Ian Binks, our friend from the UK, who is flying in on Ryan Air. The flight is 15 minutes late and as soon as he comes through, we immediately leave for Villabois Lavalette arriving at around 2.45pm. As we approach the town it is very reminiscent of a Petit Carcassonne with a walled chateau sitting on a hill. The house we are staying in is big and a work in progress, bedrooms sorted, the afternoon is spent catching-up. In the evening, it's dinner at the the restaurant in town that has been highly recommended "Le Lavalette". It's a winner, and our three course meal is accompanied by the inevitable house red wine.
The following day, a Friday a drive to St Emilion, followed by Bergerac region for wine tasting, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. Ian has arranged the afternoon session in the Bergerac region, which turns out to be around a 35 minute drive. Caroline accompanies us for the first tasting and goes for coffee
A tribute to Foie Gras!
in a Chateau Hotel and after completeing the tasting, it's a quick sandwich in St Emillion and then Bergerac. Caroline stays in St Emillion to browse the "shops". Unfortunately, all these shops sell is wine and when we find her at 4.30pm sitting on the steps of the church she is slightly dejected. A 1hr.45 minute drive back to the house, and the big question is, where shall we eat this evening? The Petit Restaurant in Combiers is approximately 20 minutes away, so off we go. Yes, its small, only has seating for twenty people and it's run by an English couple. The food is good and worth the drive. We later find out that this area on the edge of the Dordogne is often referred to as "Little Britain"
The next day, Saturday, Caroline stays in bed as she has been coughing all night long. Ian and I take to the highway's and drive the immediate area before ending up in Angouleme. The day is gloomy, and eventually it starts to rain. We abandon our walk around the city and make for the covered produce market arriving just before closing time and purchase champagne, sweet wine and foie
gras . The remainder of the day is spent drinking and eating, before the two of us finally walk up to the street to "Le Lavalette" to complete the evening with a pichet of red wine and a three course meal. The diet and under 100 kilos is a thing of the past!!
Sunday comes around too fast and time to take Ian back to Limoges for his flight back to the UK. Along the way we stop in Chalus, the town where Richard the Lionheart was killed. Richard and his troops were laying siege to the town and while staying out of range of normal cross bows, it seems there was a new secret weapon, cross-bow. Richard was hit in the shoulder and refused to have the wound cleaned, anyway he died three days later. Retribution was total, with all the inhabitants of Chalus being killed and the man who fired the cross-bow, he was flayed alive. Today, all that is left of the castle is a single tower, supposedly from where the fatal shot was fired. Of course, the tower is closed for the winter. Back on-course for Limoges, we walk the old town and have a
Raymond, Francoise and Caroline
final meal by the river. It's been three days of wine and food and a whole lot of fun.
On the Monday, our host John appears, he has been to Belgium on business. A very interesting character and an all round good guy, he retired from the Metropolitan Police Force in London, where he worked at "Scotland Yard". Anyway, he loves Villabois Lavalette and spends around six months of the year working on his house.
The remainder of the week is spend exploring villages and towns in the surrounding area.
On one particular day, we had planned to drive down to Sarlat, but along the way spot the charming little town of Brantome. It is situated on the Dome river and dominated by a large Abbey. What makes this particularly interesting is the monks lived in caves behind the Abbey, where there are a number of carvings in the rock face that date back to the 14
century. Again, it's one of France's pretty villages and I for one am glad that we are visiting in the off season, as it must be hell in summer. Near by, is Grotte Villars, which has cave paintings, and whenever
Overlooking the Dome Valley
there's cave paintings it's a "must visit" However, this visit is disappointing, the natural formations in the cave are stunning, but the cave drawings are underwhelming. Finally, to round out the day, a visit a Foie Gras Museum in the town of Thiviers. I don't agree with force feeding ducks and geese, but I love Foi Gras andpurchase a 200gm jar. However, we never made it to Sarlat!
On our return to Villabois Lavallette, John has made an enormous paella, filled with, fish, chicken, scallops and mussels. I have purchased more wine to accompany the meal and I definitely give this a thumbs up!
Another day, another excursion, this time to Abbalette per the suggestion of our host, John. Again, one of the Pleaus Beaux Villages of France, this is unique, as there is an underground church hewn out of the limestone cliff. Caroline informs me this was designed by the same person that did one in St Emillion. We round out the day with another visit to Angouleme, this time on a sunny day, so we get to walk around the historical city.
Piegut-Pluviers has a street market on a Wednesday, and we are not ones
Wine and Geese
My Favorites!
to pass up a street market. The town has been decorated for the event, but it's not one of the best markets we have seen on this trip. What is interesting is the number of British voices that can be heard as you walk the streets. And it is not just the customers but also stall holders. After walking through town, and purchasing a couple of items we leave and do a quick detour to a field of Foie Gras on the hoof. A few photos before proceeding to the Foie Gras farm to buy a can of the pate. And as we are so close to the city of Perigaux we complete the journey and explore the historic old town.
Bordeaux - Aquitaine
On Thursday, 1
November we say our goodbyes and leave John and Villabois Lavallete. The drive to Bordeaux is only 1hr 30 minutes to catch up with our friends Raymond and Francoise. We say our "Bonjours" and catch up as we have an afternoon snack of Magret de Canard and wine. This is followed by an evening meal a couple of hours later. Anyway, we move into the guest house and make ourselves comfortable.
Fois Gras on the hoof!
Francoise and Raymond leave for Paris the following morning.
Friday, 2
November, a drive into Bordeaux and a walking tour around the city. Again, as with all French cities there are an abundance of Churches. The river Garonne meanders through the center of the city and a promenade of houses line its banks. The city is 5/6 largest city in France and appears to have a great public transport system; the futuristic light rail winds itself along the waterfront and through the city center..
Saturday, a street market in Cadillac about 20 km away and then Chateau Malrome, the Chateau where Toulouse Lautrec passed away in 1901. Over the years he had fried his brain on absenthe, but finally succumbed to cirrhosis of the liver. This is followed by a quest to find his grave in a nearby village, and lunch in flash Nord Sud restaurant. An attempt to have the 16 Euro Prix Fixe is quickly foiled as this is Saturday. I ended up with a steak at 25 Euro accompanied by two carrots and piece of pineapple on a skewer, while Caroline went for a ravioli entree and a dessert.
On Sunday, a drive into
We Two
Bordeaux for the fresh produce market, and then the Brocante fair. I'm secretly looking for a ceramic rooster. Unfortunately, the stall-holders were all starting to put their goods away as rain is on the horizon. So, I didn't find a rooster! Sundays, in France offer very poor restaurant selections, they are mostly closed. Luckily, we manage to find one near the covered produce market where I indulge in "Tartar Italian", that's steak tartar with slices of Parmesan cheese, and all washed down by a pichet of rose. Caroline had pasta with chevre. Good food, but after we got home and I indulged in a two hour nap. I think it must have been the cheese!!
Francoise and Raymond have returned on the Sunday evening and on Monday morning, we say our "Bonjours". Today, we are attempting another trip into the Dordogne to see Sarlat. I have been before, but this will be Caroline's first. However, it's a rainy day and just happens to be dumping on Sarlat. So what to do? Lunch of course, another restaurant and hole up waiting for the rain to stop; just what I need, more food and wine. The rain does stop after we
Parking French Style
leave Sarlat and then avisit the medieval castle at Beynac which is positioned across the valley from another famous castle, Castelnaud. The latter was held by the English and the former, mostly by the French. Of course, this was during the One Hundred Year War. At one time English held most of the west coast of France and throughout history have constantly been battling the French. Today, they're back in droves buying property.
Later in the week we again go into the city of Bordeaux, but with Francoise and Raymond. It's much more fun walking the city with the "natives". We stop to pass time with a well known Bordeaux Sculpturer who is busy making busts of Bordeaux historical literary figures for a new hotel. Views of the new bridge that is being built to span the Garonne, and the middle section will raise to allow cruise ships to enter. A tour of the Bordeaux museum and it's back home to get ready for another restaurant experience. A gastronomic delight, "Le Cape" it's just outside of Bordeaux and located in what looks like a normal suburban dwelling. However, the décor, service and food are exquisite!
On the Road
Another Meal
to Paris
On Thursday, 8
November, we fill up the Peugeot Partner one last time and point the car north. There are two stops to make on the way an overnight in Nohant-Vic. Just down the road from the residence of 19
century bohemian writer, George Sand. And Chateau Vaux le Vicomte. Or Nicholas Foquet's folly! The Chateau was built before Versailles, by the Minister of Finance for France, Nicholas Foquet, He was imprisoned and spent the rest of his life incarcerated, after throwing a party to show off the lavish Chateau. The principal guest was French King, Louis XIV, who immediately cried embezzlement, a quick trial ensued, and Foquet was sentenced to banishment. However, this wasn't good enough for Louis who wanted him imprisoned. Today, theories abound, that Foquet was setup by a jealous rival, and that Foquet was in fact the "Man in the Iron Mask".
The final 40 kilometers to our Paris Airport hotel takes about 40 minutes. We've done about 9000 kilometers of driving in the two months in France and this is about to end. Friday night we take the train into Paris to redeem a Groupon Coupon at Bistrot Du Temple. It's
Pleaus Beaux Villages
Pretty Village!
a good one, and another three courses under my belt.
Saturday, 10
November, the car is returned and it's only got one dent in the rear bumper where I backed into a column in Perigaux. No problems, it's all on the insurance. A train into Paris to the Marche Au Puce, where we are both back on the trail of the elusive ceramic rooster. Yes, we got one, and don't quite know how it will fit in the luggage. But, we're going to try! Then, to fill time, it's the movies in Les Halles to see Argo. Any complaints about movie prices in NZ are out the window, the cost is 21.80 Euro and an 4.1 Euro Coke. That's around NZ $50..... The evening completes with a visit to L'Ebauchoire a favorite Paris restaurant, three more courses to take off when I finally get back to NZ.
Sunday, 12
November – We're on our way home.......

|Hardy Girls Healthy Women is a non–profit organization committed to changing the culture in which girls are growing. We partner with girls connect them with the people and resources that help them transform their surroundings into safe havens; and we empower girls with knowledge, critical thinking skills, and a platform for activism.
As an organization, we have spent the last 15 years finding out what happens when you listen to girls and take them seriously, when you work side by side with them to challenge the cultural narrative that pits girls against one another, promotes unrealistic body and beauty ideals, and sexualizes girls from a very young age, blurring the lines between childhood, adolescence and adulthood.
I co-founded HGHW in 1990 with Karen Heck and Lynn Cole, two amazing community activists. Working alongside girls, we've discovered that when you trust girls, when you provide opportunities for them to connect with one another and when they have access to muses that inspire their best work, they thrive.
Hardy Girls' programs and resources are used to support girls' healthy development in 39 states, 5 countries, and by more than 30,000 people via our mailing lists and networks. Additionally, with our new Training Institute, we are educating people from around the country in our approach to working with girls.
|In 2010, Hardy Girls launched Powered by Girl (PBG) an edgy girl-driven online media literacy and activism campaign.
PBG offers new knowledge, creative tools, and opportunities to talk back to media and demand more realistic and positive versions of girlhood.
|In 2010, I co-founded SPARK Movement with Deborah Tolman, a growing coalition of girls, partners, and thought leaders united in their determination to challenge the sexualization of girls and demand girls' rights to healthy sexuality. I helped to develop the SPARKTeam of youth bloggers and created a series of online media literacy and activism projects inspired by and co-branded with our partner organizations. One of my favorites is Projection.

What do you like most about Mac?
I love the people that work at Mac. Everyone shares the commitment to see our students flourish. It's also a great community of people to be around — even after work hours.
Favorite Jacksonville restaurant and why?
You can usually find me at The Szecheuan House or The Frozen Penguin, mainly because I love Chinese food and fro-yo!
Advice to Prospective Students:
Research. Visit. Ask questions. You will never know if an institution is the "right one" unless you visit, ask questions, and ask more questions. Don't just settle for a college.
Random Mac Fact:
Back in the day, South Campus (where the freshman residence halls are located) used to house stables for Mac's extensive equestrian program.
Playing 3-on-3 basketball, running, shopping, spending time with my family, volunteering.
You're on a desert island and have only brought the music of 3 artists/groups. Which do you choose?
Def Leppard, The Last of the Mohicans soundtrack, and recordings of my two children giggling.

Nice sketch, but 2-year old sketches aren't really anything to write home about.
Your website needs A LOT of work, though...
What is "newly begginners" mean?
Also, try getting rid of all the commas in that one, overly long and confusing paragraph sentence, and break it up into at least 3-4 different sentences, trying to use capital letters at the start of each one...
You should also clearly state that the tutorials are NOT yours, but are links to other sites.
The paypopup.com popups are enough to make anyone with half a brain avoid your site at all costs. (Hint, hint, HINT...and that's with all my popup software set on high...)
Change is Inevitable, Growth is Optional

The Flame of Intolerance Still Flickers in Alabama
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
This week, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore released an order that no same-sex marriage licenses be granted in the state. He was responding to a decision by a federal district court that declared unconstitutional Alabama's ban on gay marriage. Inequality, racism, segregation. These injustices persist with remarkable tenacity.
Net Neutrality, Back by Popular Demand
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
Net neutrality is the fundamental notion that anyone on the Web can reach anyone else, that users can just as easily access a small website launched in a garage as they can access major Internet portals like Google or Yahoo. Net neutrality is the Internet's protection against discrimination. During the past two decades, as the Internet flourished and transformed our society, several major corporations have assumed dominant "gatekeeper" positions, threatening net neutrality.
Civil Rights: From Sundance, to Selma, to South Carolina
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
On March 21, 1915, a motion picture was screened for the first time inside the White House. President Woodrow Wilson sat down to watch D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation," considered one of the most nakedly racist of all time. One hundred years later, another film was screened at the White House, this time at the invitation of the first African-American president. The film was "Selma."
Imagine Something Different
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
"Imagine if we did something different." Those were just six words out of close to 7,000 that President Barack Obama spoke during his State of the Union address. He was addressing both houses of Congress, which are controlled by his bitter foes. Most importantly, though, he was addressing the country. From whose lives has the shadow of crisis passed? And for whom is this Union strong?
The Other Charlies
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
Among the world leaders who flocked to Paris to condemn the attacks were some of the worst perpetrators of repression of journalists, all too often Arab and Muslim journalists.
Close Guantánamo — Then Give It Back to Cuba
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
This week marks the 13th anniversary of the arrival of the first post-9/11 prisoners to Guantánamo Bay, the most notorious prison on the planet. This grim anniversary, and the beginning of normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba, serves as a reminder that we need to permanently close the prison and return the land to its rightful owners, the Cuban people. It is time to put an end to this dark chapter of United States history.
Climate Deniers, Like Big Tobacco, Thrive Behind a Smoke Screen of Doubt
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
It has been just over 50 years since U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry released the groundbreaking report, "Smoking and Health."
Mark Udall Can Make History By Releasing The Torture Report
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
Mark Udall, the outgoing Democratic senator from Colorado, may be a lame duck, leaving office in less than a week. But his most important work in the Senate may still be before him.
Obama and the Beginning of the End of the Cuban Embargo
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
The failed United States policy against Cuba, which has for more than half a century stifled relations between these neighboring countries and inflicted generations of harm upon the Cuban people, may finally be collapsing.
Fighting for the Climate in the Heart of the World
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
Lima, the capital of Peru, has become a city of gustatory renown, attracting foodies from the world over to sample dishes from its famous ceviche to favorites from the Andean highlands. So it is an appropriate place, perhaps, for what has become a genuine movable feast, the world-roving series of summits organized by the United Nations to tackle the crisis of climate change.
Hands Up, Don't Choke
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
Another police killing of an unarmed man of color. Another grand jury deciding not to indict: Not for murder. Not for manslaughter. Not for assault. Not even for reckless endangerment. We live in a land of impunity. At least, for those in power.
Shaking the Heavens in Ferguson, Missouri
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
"As long as justice is postponed we always stand on the verge of these darker nights of social disruption." So said Martin Luther King Jr. in a speech on March 14, 1968, just three weeks before he was assassinated.
Keystone, Climate Change and the Cold
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
It was a dramatic scene in the Senate this week. As Sen. Elizabeth Warren, presiding, announced the defeat of the Keystone XL pipeline, a Crow Creek Sioux man from South Dakota sang out in the Senate gallery. A massive people's climate movement against extracting some of the dirtiest oil on the planet had prevailed ... at least for now.
Tomas Young, Rest in Peace
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
There were 8,920,000 military veterans in the United States as of last June, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Sometime last Sunday or Monday, hours before Veterans Day began, that number dropped by one, when Tomas Young died at home in Seattle, with his wife by his side. He was one of many soldiers who were sent to Iraq and were grievously injured there.
Maximum Progress on the Minimum Wage
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
The movement toward a higher minimum wage prevailed in Tuesday's elections, even in some of the reddest of states.
The Republicans' Profane Attack on the Sacred Right to Vote
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan There is a database with your name in it ... that is, if you live in one of the 28 states participating in the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program. It's one of the components of an aggressive drive across the U.S. by Republicans to stop many Americans from voting.
Ebola Czar? We Need a Surgeon General
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
The United States now has an Ebola czar. But what about a surgeon general? The gun lobby has successfully shot down his nomination — at least so far.
We Need Medical Boots on the Ground Now
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
The headlines shift hourly between Ebola and ISIS. The question is often asked, "Should we put boots on the ground?" The answer is yes — but not in the Middle East.
Texas Strips Women of Their Health and Rights
In Texas, how far women have come can be measured by how far they have to go. Scores of medical facilities have been shuttered in Texas, stranding almost a million women hundreds of miles from a healthcare facility that they might need. The reason? These facilities provide, among other services, safe, legal abortions.
A Force More Powerful in Jefferson County, Colorado
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
High-school students in Jefferson County, Colorado, have been walking out of class en masse this past week, protesting the planned censorship of the district's Advanced Placement (AP) United States history curriculum by the local school board.

I'm a driven, goal oriented person who enjoys a good challenge. I like the thought of being with someone who's also driven, ambitious and wants a lot more out of life than just being "average". Having a passion for travel is a bonus (and last minute spur of the moment trips to Vegas or Athens are always fun). New to the Houston area and still searching for the hot spots. Have any good recommendations for me?

The Belknap Mill Art Gallery Presents Featured Artist Jean Kennedy
LACONIA — The Belknap Mill Art Gallery is holding its first Featured Artist Reception featuring Jean Kennedy on Thursday, June 26 from 5 to 7 p.m. Kennedy will be showing paintings reflecting her love of flowers, nature and the outdoors; also the first artist in the monthly Mill series.
As a beginning artist, Kennedy was told to 'paint what you love' as the work would reflect the passion. Watercolor was the first medium Jean learned. Some of her work reflects the use of a negative painting technique called 'painting outside the lines'. Painting using this technique means one has no preconceived notion of the end result; no photograph or scene to copy, only what is visualized and constructed after applying paint to the paper. Kennedy finds watercolor a fascinating medium to work with because of its fluidity and transparency. She also enjoys using oils and acrylic.
Kennedy has taken many workshops from professional artists including Judi Betts and Annelein Beukenkamp. She was greatly influenced by a Louisiana art teacher, Myrna Waters, who taught her to push values and how to better use color and shape in a painting. As an artist Jean has earned many ribbons and awards by entering competitions both in New Hampshire and Louisiana. She won Best in Show by exhibiting at the art show for the Terrebonne Orchid Society in Houma, Louisiana. Kennedy is currently President of the Lakes Region Art Association and a member of the Artists Loft, both local art organizations. More of her work can be viewed at www.jeankennedyart.com and at the website hosted by the Lakes Region Art Association.
'Jean Kennedy is an exceptional artist and is dedicated to driving the arts movement in the area. We are thrilled to be able to offer additional opportunities to showcase local artists', says Beth San Soucie, Program Director for the Belknap Mill. 'Our vision for the Belknap Mill is to become a cultural arts center in the historic downtown Laconia area; collaborating with organizations and businesses to bring more light to the wonderful happenings in the downtown. With the support from individuals and businesses, we can continue to offer events and programs for the community.'

I have been bullied sense 3rd grade up to 6th grade, but i still feel bullied after going through it all. I think its worse after being bullied. But I should start from the beginning.
When I was in 3rd grade I liked someone, his name was Brock. I thought he liked me, because he asked me out, and I was in 3rd grade, everybody thought it was cool to have a so called boyfriend or girlfriend. But after he asked me out and I said yes, I figured out after he dumped me that it was all a dare and he was faking it. So I cried and he made fun of me for it. He pressured me, and called me names. Like ugly, stupid, etc… He even ran after me and pushed me to the ground and yelled at me to stay there.
He made me feel like nothing, and I practically was nothing. I didn't have friends, I wouldn't participate in activities, and cried in bed for hours everyday. But I never thought of dying or hurting myself, but now I do even though its over. But this continued on until 4th grade. Then in 5th grade I started to get comfortable, maybe to much because I started to be myself. I was a tom-boy, and I wasn't girly or anything like that. They picked on me for that to. They would pretend that they thought I was a boy and then I would do something girly and they would say that they didn't know I was a girl. This went until 6th grade. I was happy for a while because it was over, but then I lost my friends, and I had nobody to talk to. So I got depressed and thought about the horrible things that happened. But I made it worse in my mind, and started to believe the things they said. I thought I was dumb and it was wrong to be like a guy. This also made me violent in ways. I wanted to hurt people because they hurt me so I would hurt my friends without trying. I felt horrible after it happened and so I would hurt myself instead and think about killing myself, or I would wish to fall asleep and never wake up. The reasons for this is because I didn't want to hurt anybody anymore and I thought i was stupid and worthless. I didn't care about myself and I would punish myself because I thought I deserved it. And it sucks to look back at the past and only see bad things, sad things, nothing good ever happening. Till this day I still only see sadness. I don't know what its like to be happy. And right now I would be fine if didn't have to be the one to get bullied.

In the video produced by Terre des hommes (Tdh) in Burkina Faso (http://www.tdh.ch/en/countries/burkina-faso) at the beginning of this year, young people who are in the process of returning to normal life reflect on the stages of their lives that led them to prison.
One adolescent talks about leaving home, working for a woman, the child in her care who got hurt and the ensuing punishment and the downward spiral to arrest and prison. Meeting Terre des hommes whilst in prison has given her the opportunity of a new start in life. A new start which does not mean impunity since she not only had to repair the wrong inflicted on her boss but also carry out community service as compensation to society. She now has the opportunity to undertake vocational training which will enable her to make her own choices in life.
In 2013, 119 children, like her, were finally able to take advantage of alternatives to prison (http://www.tdh.ch/en/documents/infopage-on-juvenile-justice-2013)
in Burkina Faso. Terre des hommes is actively committed to making both people and nation states understand that these alternatives do not entail impunity but are protective measures for their children. To this end, Terre des hommes and the Swiss government are organising a World Congress on Juvenile Justice which will take place in January, 2015.

The 2012 Aiken Trained Horse-of-the-Year Godolphin Racing's Alpha was the center of attention before the start of Saturday's Grade 2 Suburban Handicap at Belmont Park.
The 4-year-old son of Bernardini was a bit fractious in the starting gate before the start of the race, hitting both sides of the stall, and breaking open the portal, but the quick thinking gate crew's reflexes managed to keep him from getting away.
However, the colt who dead heated for first in last summer's Grade 1 Travers Stakes, broke slightly to the outside at the start of the contest, raced off the pace in the two path before eventually tiring, finishing fourth in the five-horse field. It was the first time Alpha had been ridden by jockey Irad Ortiz Jr.
A four time stakes winner, it was the colt's third start of 2013. Alpha's two previous starts in 2013 before Saturday's Suburban were both in Dubai, where he finished 12th and fifth respectively. All four of Alpha's stakes victories have come in New York. It was Alpha's first start in more than three months, having last raced in the Group 2 Godolphin Mile at Meydan Racecourse on March 30.
Alpha was broken and trained in Aiken by Tim Jones.
The Kiaran McLaughlin charge increased his lifetime earnings to $1,317,500.

What sort of person is Dolphus Raymond in To Kill a Mockingbird? (Chapter 16)
6 Answers | Add Yours
Dolphus Raymond is one of Harper Lee's white characters in To Kill A Mockingbird. He drinks from a bottle covered by a paper bag to give the impression to fellow white southerners that he is a drunk, a morally weak man. However, as Dill discovers when he takes a sip, the man actually drinks coca-cola from the bag. His purpose for appearing to be a drunk is to excuse himself in the eyes of his white peers for being married to a black woman and fathering racially mixed children. In the time period of the novel, nothing could have been lower than a white man openly consorting with a black woman. Actually, he is simply a white man who has been beaten down by life, losing his wife years earlier, and he is too weak to stand up for his beliefs on race.
If you are only to chapter 16, you only know half of Dolphus Raymond's story. He seems to be a person who is on the lower-edge of society, in the eyes of most Maycomb-ites. He is a wealthy man--he owns a lot of land by the river. However, his first wife killed herself and the town blames that for Dolphus' constant state of drunkenness. They also blame his lifestyle of being drunk--he lives with the black folks, and has mixed children with a black woman. Jem notices Dolphus going to town during the trial and tells this information to Scout, saying that Dolphus can't even sit up straight in his saddle.
However, there is more to Dolphus Raymond and the children learn this during the trial.
He has "in-between children" with a black person. He is often drunk, and (according to Jem) drinks whiskey from a coca-cola bottle in a paper bag so he doesn't upset the ladies. His first wife shot herself in the head on the rehearsal wedding day, when she found out that he had children with a black person. Dolphus figured he could get married and still see his black woman (IDK her name at the moment).
He first presents himself to be a drunk because he hides his whiskey in a paper bag so he doesn't "upset the ladies". He likes the Black community more than he likes the white. And Jem also says that he is very good to his children.
He acts like he is drunk but in reality he is drinking some coca cola from his bottle. His wife died year ago and he has a racially mixed child. Back in those days it was bad to "mix races" and since many people were racist, they looked down upon those who were nice to the African Americans. He is stuck in a hole where he can neither be normal and life his life, nor conform to the evils of society. He is simply a man beaten by life.

Ruthay V. C.
Massage Therapist " LMT"
Licensed massage therapist Ruthay Coney attributes her healing gifts to the holistic and spiritual environment in which she was raised. She now shares her expertise in massage therapy with clients in the greater Denver area.
"I grew up in a very eclectic and artistic environment. There was a great deal of holistic, metaphysical and spiritual living going on," says Ruthay. "I suppose I took it for granted; it was just our way of life."
Ruthay, who has over six years of mobile massage experience in Denver, Colo., is a Reiki and Seichim master and teacher, a reflexologist, and an ordained spiritual and healing minister. In addition to massage therapy, she offers holistic wellness, and metaphysical and spiritual training for adults, children and pets.
"My clients are their own healers. I am the conduit that allows them to open up and begin their private process to total well-being," Ruthay explains. "We work together for their greatest good."
What to Expect
A typical session with Ruthay includes a customized treatment plan based on the client's health goals. Ruthay says she is careful to honor all client requests in regards to therapy, and understands that, as their bodies change, their needs will change as well. "I encourage clients to keep me informed so that we are always in harmony with one another," she says. "That way I can work with them on any and all levels they wish to explore, heal and unite."

Lloyd M.
Massage Therapist " LMT"
There's a reason Lloyd McElheny doesn't have a studio full of complicated equipment and is leery of "trendy" movements in his field. A state licensed and nationally certified massage therapist, he helps his clients through even the toughest of times by relying on his two best tools: his commitment to effective communication and a very skilled pair of hands.
Though he came to a career in massage therapy after being in the workforce for several years, Lloyd was no stranger to healing through touch. "I had been doing massage informally, on and off, for years," he says, "simply for the love of it and for the satisfaction of helping people using my talents."
Now a licensed massage therapist educated at the Denver School of Massage Therapy, Lloyd is able to put his natural skills to good use. "Years of experience doing energetic work have finely tuned my intuition," he explains. "For instance, I can find trigger points easily. I've gotten used to hearing 'How did you know I hurt there?'"
"Decades of bicycling plus three and a half years of tae kwon do have given me very strong legs, which I use to great advantage in my body mechanics," Lloyd adds. To strengthen his clients' body mechanics, he uses a combination of intuition, compassion and skilled technique, ultimately improving their physical states along with the quality of their lives.
Lloyd believes it a privilege to finally be able to practice massage on a professional level. "I consider myself to be quite fortunate to be able to do what I love to do," he says. "I love being able to greatly improve the sense of well-being of almost everyone I come into contact with in my professional life."

Carri A.
Massage Therapist " LMT"
Certified massage therapist Carri Arata grew up in San Francisco, with a variety of cultures, languages and experiences at her fingertips. The Berkeley Acupressure Institute was practically in her own backyard, and though it's been 13 years since she first attended, Carri values the experience and incorporates a little acupressure into each of her massage sessions.
Carri's clients tend to be athletes, or individuals with an intuitive sense about their bodies, who look for lasting solutions rather than momentary fixes. "I love my career path and enjoy each new client," she says. "I love being a part of their journey to wellness."
A typical session with Carri, especially a first session in which the client might be unsure what techniques will suit them, will include a variety of modalities. In order to find the right combination of strokes, Carri will draw on her wealth of knowledge and experience to craft a one-of-a-kind session geared toward the client's needs and goals.
When she's not performing massage, Carri can be found taking yoga classes or teaching Tribal Fusion Belly Dance, a blend of lyrical, hip hop, jazz and African dance. To any and all future clients, Carri says: "I look forward to meeting you and sharing this amazing expression of beauty and strength."

Matt G.
Massage Therapist " LMT"
Licensed massage therapist Matt Gay believes in the power of knowledge, and seeks to instill his clients with as much information as possible to allow them to take the reins on their health.
Matt approaches all clients as individuals, assessing each for postural alignment and tissue conditions before formulating custom tailored applications of the many protocols in which he is trained. He also acknowledges that health isn't always black and white, and enjoys finding crafty ways to explain the medical terminology and concepts he uses in his practice.
When working with Matt, clients are as much a part of the process as their therapist, as he "works to share the journey of health and exploration" with all of them. As he puts it, "By better understanding the body and how it functions, the client's awareness of positive and negative habits will provide choices for healthier living."
"The more information that I can share with the public about the wide range of benefits provided by bodywork, the more people can actually receive those benefits," Matt adds. "I see it as my duty to strengthen the credibility of massage therapy as an industry."
What to Expect
Questions before, during and after the session to ensure total satisfaction from start to finish. Matt works within his client's pain threshold, avoiding "flinching" and "teeth grinding" by adjusting for pressure.

Even if you are outside the St. Louis area, you can always catch the show's live internet stream for free. Our focus was on the decision that was facing the Cardinals as to the identity of their Sunday starter. As you'll hear, I spent most of the time talking about Joe Kelly, who has since been selected by the club to make his MLB debut. We also covered Johan Santana's no-hitter, which I attended one week ago today in New York, and briefly touched on the Cardinals' draft before we ran out of time. In addition to their weekday show from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M CDT, catch Rob's writings at RobRains.com and B.J.'s daily beat coverage of the St. Louis Cardinals at FOXSportsMidwest.com.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it~ Ferris B
Hi, I'm Brian and thanks for looking.... Just a tad about me and who I'm looking to meet I work to live, not the other way around. I am very well traveled and grew up all over the world due to my fathers career. I know my way around the kitchen and I'm adept at manning the grill. I am motiviatived by being out of doors, regardless of the weather. I am an active person and consider myself healthy by trying to be in the gym 4-5 days a week. I have a tendancy to watch what I eat, but in no way am I calorie counter, beacause I like a greasy cheesburger thrown in from time to time. Family and friends are very important to me, as are the time spent with them. Not that I need to be around them all the time. However, they are my outlet and my "rock" when needed. My parents will be celebrating their 45th anniversary this year, that is why they are my inspiration. Love, hard work and respect for one another is what has made it last. I'm looking for someone who is self motivated and likes to be adventurous. Stable in her career/life's goals and have a great sense of humor. She would like to be surprised by the littlest gestures and know that it is all the "little things" that add up that truly count. I figure if you like to travel, like to experience new things and you don't have to have a day trip all planned out.....we'd hit it off! All I need is some sense of direction, a full tank of gas and see where the road takes us!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, Soccer, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
I grew up with dogs, but with my job, it is almost impossible for me to have one right now. I see myself up on Saturday mornings and walking my dog. Then coming home for coffee and breakfast and my family hang out time.... Sounds great!!!
Favorite places? I would have to say that would be Munich and Hong Kong. Two totally different cultures but, so much history behind both. I've been to Munich for Oktoberfest and Hong Kong for Chinese New Year.
University of Washington, Seattle, WA
Laughter! Modern Family and Big Bang Theory.... Hilarious! Fringe and Boardwalk Empire. Musically, I listen to just about anything, with a couple exceptions. I am a HUGE Mexican food fan and I also know my way around German, Indian & Brazilian fare.
I follow the area sports teams. When the weather isn't quite so cooperative, I also really enjoy feature as well as indie films. Cooking is a big passion for me. Also, with my current job benefits, travel is always an option.
I read everthing Jeffery Deaver, Grisham, Rollins and Patterson. I usually catch the top internet headlines and follow USA Today. I am wanting to start reading more US historical "fact" based books and hope to, very soon.

"The Sway of a Coastal Pine Tree"
by John Kinsella Published
A lipidic white-capped sea, low
coastal heath, tether tableaux
to breeze bending the old pine
towards them, its sway on rebound
bringing it back to lash sunset.
Bright dark matter mixed
to force back to where the breeze
has blown, to fill compulsive
need, sweep to vacate and occupy -
lean to resist, impelled.
Pine is ritual, drawn back
to depths where appearances
are made and blessed, mast-like,
bent against a tidal surge,
branches radiant with drowning.
Confess, to balance or divine
a flow, draw needles against compasses,
steer towards an anchorage,
high up in the rigging, less rigid,
breeze-dried waves,
arrangements of vastness.

Northark honors Tyson executive as Distinguished Alumnus
A teenaged Wes Morris was bagging groceries at Edwards Grocery in Harrison when his future career walked in the door wearing snazzy clothes.
The farm boy was intrigued by a team of sales people that came to the store. The men drove a nice vehicle, got to travel, wore high-end clothing and appeared to be making good money. Morris wanted nothing more than to be like them.
"I lived on a farm, and all of the jobs I had involved manual labor," he said. "These guys weren't sweating much. I didn't want to haul hay, but I also didn't want to sit at a desk. I decided then that I wanted to be in sales."
That on-the-spot decision led Morris to a career that now has him serving as a division president of Fortune 100 Company Tyson Foods. He is also the recipient of this year's North Arkansas College Distinguished Alumnus Award, which recognizes graduates for their outstanding accomplishments in their respective fields.
Morris' desire to have a sales career took him to North Arkansas College in the 1980s and then on to the University of Arkansas where he received his bachelor's degree in marketing.
Morris said he was the first person in his family to go to college. After his father lost his job, the family had to use Morris' college fund to pay bills. It was up to him to figure out how to pay for college. Realizing he did not have the funds or the maturity to go to a four-year college, Morris turned to Northark.
"I didn't do that well in high school," he said. "I had to do remediation when I started at Northark. I didn't even have 101 classes; I had to have two 91 level classes. If it had not been for Northark, and specifically (instructor) Cathy Brandt, who took me under her wing, I don't know where I would be right now."
Morris said after graduating from the University of Arkansas, he was offered a job at Tyson Foods, but he wanted to get out of Arkansas. He didn't get far. Morris took a job in Springfield, Mo., as a sales leader for The Dial Corp. selling soap. He later moved to Des Moines, Iowa and took a position as an account executive.
In 1994, Morris moved to Kansas City to become a retail sales manager, and two years later became a senior business manager at Acosta, a food brokerage company in St. Louis, Mo.
Morris is now the President of Prepared Foods for Tyson Foods. Morris, who has been with Tyson since 1999, has served in multiple positions within the company including senior vice president of retail sales and operations, senior vice president of the wholesale club division and vice president of club store sales.
The Harrison native said attitude has played a huge role in his rise through the ranks at various companies.
"You need to have a can-do attitude and put in hard work," he said. "Even when I was at Edwards, I had a can-do attitude. I may not have been able to do something, but I acted like I could. I always said I could do anything.
"You have to be passionate about what you do," he continued. "I'm passionate about Harrison. I'm passionate about Northark. I'm passionate about Tyson. And I'm passionate about feeding the world."
Morris said he advises high school and college students to take every opportunity to learn something new.
"When it scares the bejesus out of you, keep going," he said with a laugh. "Just keep going."
Morris was presented the North Arkansas College Distinguished Alumnus Award at the 2014 Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges (AATYC) Conference Oct. 14 in Hot Springs.
