College Hockey:Final Five is set
It wasn't until the clock neared midnight (ET) Sunday when Michigan Tech found out it will play Denver Thursday afternoon and North Dakota learned it will play St. Cloud State in primetime when Luke Salazar's wrap-around goal in overtime sent the Pioneers to St. Paul for the Final Five.
After a typically dramatic weekend of WCHA playoff hockey, here are your Final Five matchups:
Michigan Tech and Denver will square off in Thursday's 2 p.m. quarterfinal with the winner to play Minnesota-Duluth in Friday's 2 p.m. semifinal.
St. Cloud State and North Dakota meet in the Thursday evening semifinal at 7 p.m. with the winner advancing to face Minnesota in Friday's second semifinal at 7 p.m.
If Wisconsin would've won, it would've played UND Thursday afternoon with SCSU and Michigan Tech playing the nightcap.
Lower seeds unwilling to go down quietly, if at all
After nearly five months and 168 games to determine this past weekend's first round playoff "favorites", the WCHA's bottom six inevitably neglected to read the memo outlining the way things were supposed to play out. When the dust settled, the field for this week's Final Five was set but not without some tension-filled moments for the league's top seeds.
No.12-seeded Alaska-Anchorage gave top-seeded Minnesota all it could handle in falling 2-1 on Friday and surged to a 3-1 lead midway through Saturday's game before the Gophers stormed back to win 7-3 behind Erik Haula's four-point night (2-2–4). Turnabout is fair play for the Gophers who were swept by the Seawolves at Mariucci Arena to open last season's conference playoffs.
11th-seeded Minnesota State essentially lost a pair of one-goal games in Duluth as No. 2-seeded UMD's 4-2 margin in the series opener was aided by Wade Bergman's empty netter. The Mavericks then took the Bulldogs to overtime on Saturday before dropping a 3-2 heartbreaker to UMD on Mike Seidel's goal at 4:07 of the second extra session.
As Shane Frederick of the Mankato Free Press points out, this is the third straight season Minnesota State has been eliminated in overtime and seven of MSU's last 12 playoff games have gone to OT with the Mavs going 2-5 in those contests. On the other hand, Kevin Pates of the Duluth News-Tribune will tell you that prior to last night, UMD had been taken to a game 3 in four of the last five first-round playoff series it had hosted since 1998.
No.10-seeded Wisconsin and third-seeded Denver combined for one goal through the first five periods of their series with the lone tally being Sean Little's third-period game winner for the Badgers on Friday. The Pioneers ultimately won Saturday's third period 3-1 but only after Nick Shore's goal into an empty net with 56 seconds to play sealed it for DU and extend the series to a deciding third game. The Badgers and Pioneers traded goals on Sunday and UW led 2-1 heading into the third period. But Nick Shore's power-play goal for Denver at 2:o1 of the third period eventually sent the game to overtime where Luke Salazar won it for the Pioneers just 1:40 into the extra session.
After topping ninth-seeded Bemidji State 4-1 on Friday, No.4-seeded North Dakota led by the same score after Dillon Simpson's goal five minutes into the Saturday's third period. But the Sioux had to withstand a furious BSU rally—led by Jamie McQueen's two goals 17 seconds apart with less than four minutes to play— to hang on for a 4-3 win.
In St. Cloud, the No.6-seeded Huskies won handily on Friday by a 4-0 score over seventh-seeded Nebraska-Omaha but the teams were tied 1-1 heading into the third on Saturday. But St. Cloud State's Ben Hanowski's goal with 43 seconds left and Travis Novak's empty-net goal with one tick remaining on the clock gave SCSU a 3-1 win.
Which brings us to …
Colorado anything but rocky for Michigan Tech in postseason play
With consecutive 3-1 and 4-3 (in overtime) wins over No.5-seeded Colorado College, eighth-seeded Michigan Tech is heading to the Final Five for the first time since 2007 when the Huskies, ironically, took two of three from the Tigers on the road.
With only two seasons of data, and just one postseason remaining to add to it, considering MTU's elimination of CC a WCHA trend after UAA won last season's five vs. eight matchup over Minnesota is a stretch. What could be considered trendy, however, is the fact that the Huskies are 0-28 in regular season games at CC's World Arena but have won four of five postseason games in the Tigers' lair.
WCHA Coach of the Year Mel Pearson might have made his best coaching move yet in keeping his team in Colorado for the week rather than returning to Houghton after the Huskies were swept by the Tigers (5-2, 2-0) to close out the regular season. As a contributing factor to MTU's first playoff advancement in five years, a week of acclimation to the altitude and Olympic-sized rink should not be underrated.
Future MTU opponents should beware that it would be wise to take the Huskies out in regulation as Michigan Tech is undefeated (4-0-4) in eight overtime games this season.
SCSU's Lee has to be solid for the Huskies to make a run…
… and lately, he's resembled a brick wall between the pipes. It was uncertain whether or not St. Cloud State junior goaltender, Mike Lee, would be able to help the Huskies make a playoff run when he had to undergo hip surgery back in October. Lee recovered ahead of schedule and made his return to the crease Jan. 27 at Minnesota.
Goaltending is often the cornerstone of successful team in the postseason and Lee is playing solid enough right now to give SCSU the chance to win three games at the Final Five and get a No. 4 seed in the national tournament.
In the 10 games since he returned, Lee has stopped 306 of 323 shots (.947 save percentage) and has allowed just 1.70 goals per game in that stretch. He gave up one goal on 60 shots this weekend against Nebraska-Omaha.
He'll face North Dakota, Thursday, a team he's struggled against throughout his career with an .878 save percentage through seven games. Lee hasn't faced UND this season.

Too many people open their doors for business yet neglect this one thing, only to see their business fail to thrive. List building should be every business owner's number one objective from the beginning. Why?
Your list is an asset you own. While Facebook Fans, Twitter Followers, YouTube Subscribers, and LinkedIn Connections are all important, you don't own them. Those social media sites own them. They own their names, their e-mail addresses, and a ton of demographic information about them.
While you can tap into these resources, these social media hubs could disappear as quickly as they appeared and so would your link to these individuals and your business.
However, if you are building your own list, you own the information and if something should happen to these sites, your business will continue to thrive because you still have access to your list.
Your list is an important way to communicate with those people who have raised their hand and said they are interested in your business. You can share information about your business, product updates and testimonials, elicit feedback, and promote sales.
Yes, you can do all of this on social media too, but not everyone on social sites will see your updates. Those tricky algorithms prevent your message from being seen by up to 80% of those connected with you on social sites.
However, by building your own list, you can be assured that your communications are reaching the people on your list because they are delivered directly to your subscribers email addresses.
Growing your email list allows you to serve the people you are passionate about helping. If you are in business, it is because you want to help your target market.
By building your list you are able to engage in a dialog with the people you want to help. This can be done by sending surveys to your list, asking questions that those on your list can reply directly to, and by reading the unsolicited emails you will receive from the people on your list.
Another reason to grow your list is because it establishes you as an authority in your field. This good because it will make your list growth very low maintenance for you. Those on your list will share your information with their networks and that will result in greater growth.
In addition, having a larger list and more authority in your field opens the doors to partnerships with other complimentary businesses.
Having and growing your list really boils down to more sales. Growing your list will give you an asset that you own and can communicate with regularly. You will be able to better serve and meet the needs of your customers because having a list provides two-way communication with your customers. Your list will develop your authority in your field leading to more partnerships. And all of this leads to more sales. Having a list will dramatically increase your businesses bottom line.
So, have you started building your list yet?

The Artist Sessions, the concert series that pianist Lara Downes launched last April, will be heading to the Center for New Music (CNM) for its next event. Actually, it is a bit limiting to call these events a "concert series," since each one augments performances involving guest artists with on-stage conversation hosted by Downes and an opportunity for members of the audience to ask questions. For the next of these events, the artists will include both a composer and those who have performed his music.
The composer is Mohammed Fairouz, whose album of world premiere recordings, Native Informant, was released by Naxos in its American Classics series almost a year ago. Two of his recent works will be receiving their West Coast premieres. The Del Sol String Quartet will appear as Downes' guests to perform "The Named Angels," a work that invokes the mythology of angels in the different folk cultures of the Middle East, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. This will also be a "preview performance" of the recording of this quartet, which is currently planned for release in 2015. Downes herself will then perform Fairouz' second piano sonata, to which he has given the title "The Last Resistance." He has used this sonata to capture, in music, both portraits and prophecies of the post-9/11 world. While on the West Coast, Fairouz will be spending a week at the Mondavi Center as Composer-in-Residence. The Mondavi Center Young Artists Competition commissioned three new pieces in his Piano Miniatures series, and Downes is planning to record the complete set in 2015.
This Artist Sessions event will take place at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, February 25, at CNM, located at 55 Taylor Street, about half a block north of the corner of Market Street. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. General admission is $30 with a $25 rate for CNM members and a $15 rate for students. Tickets may be purchased online through an event page on Brown Paper Tickets.
The following month The Artists Sessions will move to the Recital Hall of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM). On this occasion the featured artist will be pianist Anthony de Mare, one of the leading champions of contemporary music. The program will feature compositions from his recent commissioning and concert project, LIAISONS: Re-Imagining Sondheim from the Piano. As the title suggests, de Mare commissioned 36 composers to "re-imagine" a song by Stephen Sondheim as a piano solo. The composers come from seven countries, range in age from 32 to 76, and work in the genres of classical, pop, jazz, opera, musical theater, and film.
This Artist Sessions event will also take place at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, this time March 25, in the SFCM Recital Hall at 50 Oak Street, a short walk from the Van Ness Muni station. Doors will again open at 7:30 p.m. General admission is $40 with a $20 rate for students. Tickets may again be purchased online through an event page on Brown Paper Tickets.

Melissa Gorga is supporting Teresa Giudice on the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" as she turns to her family. Wetpaint reports on March 10 that Joe Gorga is showing his support by standing by his sister, but his wife is also helping. Melissa has been avoiding the drama with her sister-in-law since she has decided to plead guilty to fraud and faces a possible jail sentence.
Giudice posted photos of her brother Joe supporting her children at cheerleading competitions, and Melissa was also in attendance. The two housewives have been upholding a truce for months that is unlikely to change. Joe and Teresa Giudice could spend several years in prison if they are found guilty.
It seems that Teresa Giudice is not the only one who is getting Melissa Gorga's support. Melissa's generous mood also extended to wishing NeNe Leakes good luck on "Dancing with the Stars." The housewife recently reached out to Leakes on Twitter to remind her she will rock the dance floor.
Teresa seems to appreciate the support she is getting from her family as uncertainty about her family's future abounds. If both Joe and Teresa end up in jail, there are questions about who will raise their four daughters. Grandparents are an option, but Melissa and Joe may also volunteer to help. The friendly pictures Teresa is posting on Twitter reveal they are getting along and could take care of her girls.

Mirai Nagasu has been called pretty much everything in the book — from the next big star in figure skating to an unfocused, lazy teenager.
But it cannot be denied that when this vibrant 18-year-old commits herself to the craft of figure skating, she is a formidable competitor.
Nagasu won the U.S. title in 2008, at age 15, but fell to fifth the following season. She bounced back to silver in 2010, earned a berth on the U.S. Olympic team and skated into fourth in Vancouver.
But last season she struggled with injuries and inconsistency, seemingly unable to find her groove. "It was hard for me to compete knowing I did not have as much training as I would have liked," Nagasu said.
A disappointing third-place finish at the 2011 U.S. Championships left her off the World team. "Unfortunately for me, I did not skate well at nationals, which meant I did not go to Worlds. Watching that competition at home was a tough lesson for me, which is why this year I hope I won't make the same mistake," Nagasu said.
Shortly after Worlds Nagasu found herself on the sidelines of a controversy regarding Rachael Flatt's participation in Moscow. "There were rumors that Rachael was injured prior to Worlds, but it's not uncommon for skaters to wait until the last minute to withdraw," Nagasu said.
As the first alternate for the U.S. team, her coach Frank Carroll had made it clear that Nagasu was prepared and ready if indeed Flatt was injured. "Mr. Carroll, being the expert on taking alternates to competitions, forced me to maintain my stamina. I wasn't fully training, but he made me do a couple of programs a week, just in case."
Flatt was subsequently fined by U.S. Figure Skating for failing to disclose her injury. Her 12th-place finish in Moscow cost the U.S. a chance at securing three berths for the 2012 global event.
"Not going to Worlds last season may have been a blessing in disguise since there were so many complications," Nagasu said in reflection. "Regardless, I definitely wish that I had been there and hope that this year I will be."
The complications she alluded to were due in part to a stress fracture in her left foot and shin that kept her off the ice much of the summer in 2010. The feisty teenager struggled to get into shape for the season but did not hit her stride until the Four Continents Championships in February, where she walked away with the bronze medal.
"As the year progressed, my results became stronger and stronger until I had the performance I was aiming for, which I did at Four Continents," she said. "Unfortunately there was nothing I could do to speed up the healing process of my stress fracture earlier in the season."
This year Nagasu is determined to leave behind the memory of being so close so many times, and finally live up to her potential in a big way. With the disappointment of not competing in Russia still fresh in her mind, she has been working on regaining her competitive nerve.
"It would be nice to improve my mental outlook on competing, but that takes time," she admitted.
Nagasu's short program this season is to Julian Plaza's playful Tango "Danzarin" — a piece of music she surreptitiously included on the short list of possibilities provided to Carroll by choreographer Lori Nichol.
"Lori emailed me a few pieces of music which she told me to burn onto a CD for Mr. Carroll, so I secretly added it to the list," Nagasu confessed with a smile. "Of course he loved it and gushed about it to Lori, who found the piece again and approved it for this season.
"The music is something that I had been hoarding for years. When Lori first introduced it to me I loved it right away, but she decided I was not mature enough for it, so it was forgotten. I never forgot about it, though."
She will skate to Khachaturian's "Spartacus" for the free skate — a piece she hopes will be the catalyst to overcoming her free skating woes from last season. "I think that compared to last year, I have more confidence in my programs because I've actually been training pain-free this summer," she said. "This season, I will be better prepared because I actually have the time for sufficient training, and as a result, I believe that my performances will be much better."
Nagasu was one of four figure skaters to graduate from the California Connections Academy in June and, with her high school studies left behind, admits to feeling a sense of relief.
"It was something I was ready for," she said. "Don't get me wrong; I have some great memories and friends that I will never forget, but with all the traveling and competing, it was difficult to keep my priorities straight."
The high school graduate plans to attend college, but for now there are too many variables to work out.
"It's definitely in my near future, especially since I was accepted into the University of California, Irvine, but right now it's not even a possibility," Nagasu said. "My mom and I drive three hours a day to and from Lake Arrowhead to train with Mr. Carroll and no matter how much I love working with him, it doesn't make up for the stress of the drive. I don't think commuting to and from Lake Arrowhead and Irvine is possible."
Nagasu did not have time for a vacation after graduation, but she spent two weeks in Japan over the summer skating with a tour.
"It was so much fun," she said. "Adam Rippon and I had so much fun learning part of Meryl Davis and Charlie White's Bollywood original dance which we performed at the last show in Osaka."
Nagasu has back-to-back Grand Prix events, Skate Canada and Cup of China, but opened her season with a resounding victory at the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, Germany in late September.
"People often overlook Nebelhorn, so it's easy to forget that it is a Senior B event. But it was an opportunity to earn some World ranking points," she explained. "It was also an extra opportunity for me to verify my levels and get feedback on my programs before the Grand Prix Series started."

Station wagons of today are no longer those aircraft-carrier sized, wood-paneled monstrosities of the past.
Today, they are pretty cool.
Case in point is the 2014 Acura TSX Sport Wagon.
This well-equipped ride is roomy, practical and yes, has some a nice dash of style.
But in case you just can't bring yourself to drive a wagon, the TSX is still available as a sedan.
However, Acura has announced that next year, the TSX will be replaced in its lineup by a new model, the TLX.
The TSX is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 201 horsepower and is linked to a six-speed manual transmission (in the sedan) or a five-speed automatic. A V-6 engine is also available in the sedan, for those who want more power, and it's a 3.5 liter that makes 280 horsepower with automatic transmission.
The wagon, which we tested, only comes with the four cylinder and the automatic tranny.
The wagon gets 22 mpg city, 30 highway, which is pretty good because it's not a small vehicle; you can comfortably haul a family.
The interior of the car is neatly arranged and filled with quality materials. Acura typically doesn't go chintzy when it outfits its vehicles.You won't find gaudy design touches like you might see on other luxury brand interiors.
But there is a long list of standard features that you might have to pay extra for on other models, such as power and heated front seats and dual zone climate control.
One thing that was surprising, though, was that our tester did not come with a smart key, which is pretty standard among luxury brands these days, and becoming more common on non-luxury models. So you'll actually have to put the key in the ignition and turn it to start the car.
The TSX Wagon starts at around $33,000 and ranges to close to $40,000.
It will be interesting to see what kind of changes Acura brings to the new TLX. Acura typically has been rather reserved in its styling. But the outgoing TSX is a solid choice for those seeking a pleasantly designed vehicle with lots of practicality.

Kevin Gates' New Condoms
In July, Kevin Gates released a new song, "Thinkin' With My Dick," featuring Juicy J on his excellent mixtape, Stranger Than Fiction. A photo posted to Kevin Gates' Instagram seems to indicate that the Baton Rouge rapper is now getting his very own "Thinkin' With My Dick"-themed condom.
The photo shows a condom branded with the name of the song with the tagline of "At Least I'm Thinkin." No word if the condoms are real or simply a goof by Gates.

UMWA in Action
NLRB law judge orders Massey to hire union applicants at Cannelton/Mammoth mine and recognize, bargain with UMWA
November 26, 2007
CONTACT:Â Â Â Phil Smith
   As a remedy, the ALJ ordered Massey Energy to "notify the Union (United Mine Workers of America–UMWA) in writing that they recognize the Union as the exclusive representative of the bargaining unit employees under Section 9(a) of the Act and that they will bargain with the Union concerning terms and conditions of employment for employees†at the company's Mammoth mine, formerly called the Cannelton mine, in Kanawha County, W. Va.
   The ALJ ordered Massey to offer employment to 85 former employees at Cannelton who were refused employment because of their pro-union sentiments.
   "This is a tremendous victory for these courageous workers and for the United Mine Workers of America,†said UMWA International President Cecil E. Roberts today. "It demonstrates that the actions Massey Energy took in the wake of the bankruptcy of Horizon Natural Resources were not just wrong, they were so outside the bounds of law and decency that they must be corrected immediately.
   "We've said all along that what the company did to the workers at Cannelton was illegal,†Roberts said. "We're extremely gratified that the NLRB law judge who heard all the evidence agrees with us, and we look forward to the day, hopefully very soon, when our members can walk back into that mine and reclaim their rightful jobs.â€
   Massey bought the former Cannelton operation from Horizon Natural Resources in 2004 after Horizon went into bankruptcy, and renamed it the Mammoth mine. Though a bankruptcy court in Kentucky threw out the collective bargaining agreement, the NLRB's Bogas found that "such a bankruptcy sale order in no way insulates against the possibility that a buyer will take actions subsequent to the sale that give rise to a successorship bargaining obligation or require the buyer to maintain the existing terms and conditions of employment.â€
   Bogas found that such a bargaining obligation exists at Cannelton/Mammoth, and that Massey has discriminated against the former workers at that mine since Dec. 3, 2004. His ruling requires Massey to "make whole†bargaining unit employees who were denied employment "for the losses caused by the Respondents' failure to apply the terms and conditions of employment that existed immediately prior to their takeover of the predecessor employer,†Horizon Natural Resources.

This monkfish recipe with breadcrumbs and garlic is a firm favourite in my home. If you enjoy home cooking fish and seafood, then give this monk fish recipe a try.
Monk fish certainly wouldn't win any beauty contests, and in fact they can look pretty scary, but they have a really nice firm texture, almost like lobster. Because of this texture you can cook and serve it as whole fillets, or cut it up into chunks.
Because in this recipe the fish is baked, that makes it really healthy. You can't really go wrong with this monk fish recipe, and it's especially good in the warmer months with a nice salad.
This recipe will feed two people.
What you'll need is:
The equipment you'll need is:
The thing to realise about monkfish is that it can contain a lot of water. This can potentially affect the flavour of the meal, so you need to extract this water before cooking.
So, sprinkle some salt over both sides of each fillet set aside for about 10 minutes (while you're preparing everything else).
Using the kitchen scissors, cut the parsley finely and add to a mixing bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs to the parsley and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Crush the garlic and add to one of the bowls. Slowly melt the butter in your microwave (or in a saucepan on the stove) and then add to the garlic and mix well.
Preheat your oven to 200° Celsius / 400° Fahrenheit / Gas Mark 6 / Moderately hot oven.
Take the fish, and drain away any water that has come out. Pat each fillet dry with paper towel and then trim off any discoloured or unsightly bits with your knife.
Place the fillets side by side in the ovenproof dish and then scatter the breadcrumbs and parsley over the fish to make a thick covering.
Now drizzle the garlic and butter mixture over the fish as evenly as possible.
Place the dish into the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Ensure the fish is cooked by gently scraping an inconspicuous part of it with a fork – if it flakes easily then it's done. The breadcrumbs should also be a golden brown colour.
Serve the fillets whole along with the lemon wedges. You can also prepare a fresh green salad if you like (or buy one ready-made).
So there you have it - a delicious summer meal in only half an hour.

My mother has lupus and severe rheumatoid arthritis. The doctor is saying Orencia is the next step in her treatment, as my mom continues to suffer constant pain, despite the meds she is on. I found some information on the web about LDN (low-dose naltrexone) which looks promising, but the rheumatologist dismissed LDN as an "experimental drug. What do you know about Orencia and LDN for RA patients? Also critical is my mom's clotting factor — she is at great risk for stroke. Thanks for your time.
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist that is used in higher doses to treat alcohol and drug addiction. Low-dose naltrexone has recently created a buzz because of the possibility that it may help treat autoimmune diseases. A recent study suggested it may help patients with inflammation from Crohn's disease. Further studies need to be done to confirm that this is true.
However, there have been no studies yet to see if low-dose naltrexone works in RA patients. Orencia, on the other hand, has been shown through multiple studies and FDA approval to be an effective treatment for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

A new episode of "Once Upon a Time" airs tonight and viewers are wondering what is going to happen next. While last week focused on Hook's missing year, this episode is going to feature a lot more of the Wicked Witch. On April 18, SheKnows Entertainment posted spoilers for the episode, including photographs of Rumple and Zelena. There are also other spoilers and preview clips that reveal what can be expected on the episode titled "Bleeding Through."
The official synopsis for "Once Upon a Time" season 3, episode 18 reveals that Zelena will steal Regina's heart. A promo photo shows her holding it and looking quite pleased. Regina will decide that she needs to speak to her dead mother, Cora. A sneak peek video shows Regina and the others having a seance. The narrator says that getting help from the afterlife could end up being a fatal mistake. Later, Regina and Mary Margaret hear a noise from upstairs and go to investigate. They open a bedroom door to find everything swirling around and Regina looks terrified.
On the episode "Bleeding Through," fans will also find out why Cora abandoned Zelena. It turns out she was tricked by a man who claimed to be a prince. Unfortunately, she ended up alone and pregnant. Eventually she did meet a real price who could make her dreams of royalty come true. However, she had to hide the pregnancy or she would have lost it all.
Hypable posted a few photos and things definitely look interesting. They feature Rumple and Zelena and in the first photo, they are sitting down at a table eating a meal. Then Zelena is seen holding a dagger and she does not look happy at all. Then Rumple has his hand on Zelena's face, then they are engaged in a passionate kiss. The photos really have viewers confused.
It sounds like "Once Upon a Time" season 3, episode 18 is going to be full of action. In addition to the spoilers above, Belle will find out that Zelena is trying to do a time travel spell. Will Regina, Emma and the others be able to stop her? What kind of danger are they in for contacting the dead? Viewers will have to wait until tonight, April 20, when ABC airs the "Bleeding Through" episode.

Should you think anything
You should know that I'm not doing OK
Since I've been gone all my problems
Have come back around and they're here to stay
I don't know how
Anyone could rescue me now
The story goes on and on
I'm always susceptible to think
That I could write my own chapter
I've noticed I cannot change a thing
I don't know how
Anyone could rescue me now
So please remind me again
How You'll always be my best friend
Show me who You are
Hurry, don't be far
I'll give You my heart
And I promise You
I will read into
All the ways You show Your love

SSC Napoli had a disappointing tie against Bologna FC in round 20 of Serie A on Sunday morning. The final score of the game was 2-2.
As reported by ESPN Deportes on Sunday, Napoli, as guests, tied with 17th place Bologna. Unfortunately for Napoli, the bitter tie came in stoppage time, giving the home team something big to celebrate about.
The goals for the home team, Bologna, were made by strike Rolando Bianchi. The Italian striker was the first man to score (37th minute) in the game, and he was the last man to score as well in stoppage time.
Bologna FC also managed a tie with a man down after the 84th minute. Greek midfielder Panagiotis Kone was red carder for being warned twice with yellow cards for dangerous play.
The goals for Napoli were made by Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuain, via penalty, at the 62nd, and by Spaniard forward Jose Maria Callejon in the 80th.
The tie, however, kept both teams in their previous positions before the game. SSC Napoli stayed in 3rd place while Bologna FC stayed in 17th place of Serie A.
The tie was quite a disappointment for SSC Napoli since they were heavily favored to win it.

Award winning author Edward Hogan turns his hand to young adult fiction for his high concept thriller set in a holiday camp
At 29, Edward Hogan won the Desmond Elliot Prize for his first novel, Blackmoor, in 2009. The story of a boy who discovers the truth behind his mother's death in the close-knit Derbyshire mining town of Blackmoor, Hogan made a name for himself writing about his home country as seen through the eyes of a teenage outcast. His latest novel, Daylight Saving, centres on another teenage boy who once again feels on the outside of things.
Hogan's first Young Adult novel, Daylight Saving is a coming of age tale that is equal parts ghost story and mystery. It focuses on Daniel, a troubled boy who is forced on holiday to the Leisure World Holiday Complex by his father, in an attempt to re-build their fractured relationship. Daniel hates sports and outdoor activities almost as much as he hates bonding with his Dad, and is all set to have a terrible time, but then he meets Lexi, an intriguing girl who wears a backwards ticking watch and is covered in wounds that are rapidly getting worse. As his relationship with Lexi develops, the mystery surrounding her apperance deepens and Daniel finds himself in a race against time to save her life.
Inspiration for the novel's unique setting came from his own family holidays, but it was more a desire to shift genre, rather than age-range, that fuelled Hogan's move to writing for teens: "I went away on similar trips and I really enjoyed them, but what I enjoyed the most was going to do usual things, like eating in Pizza Express or playing badminton, but then coming out and finding yourself in this magnificent forest, that's big and imposing and holds a lot of mystery, and I wanted to explore that. I wanted to write something that reflected the things that I used to watch, films like E.T. and Back To The Future, high concept narrative stories."
Although Daylight Saving features some of the key teenage issues, from low-self esteem and attempts to be cool to divorcing parents and first crushes, Hogan explains that he did not have a checklist in mind. "I always write about families, it comes naturally to me as I always do it. I didn't set out to cover specific teen issues and people always say that teenagers are trouble and always messing up, but if you look at the adults in the book, Daniel's dad especially, he is an absolute mess and definitely hasn't got things together."
He adds: "It is a coming of age novel though and so I was interested in exploring all of the physical elements of that time, as it all seems to mater a great deal when you're that age. I wanted a character that has all the usual flaws and problems and to look into the ways you can get over those. Daniel has issues that I know I had to cope with and I didn't want it to be the story of "Mr Super Handsome", because then it becomes more unrealistic."
Hogan is already working on his second book for teens at the moment. "Contemporary YA fiction is filled with these fantastic narrative hooks, which is an important thing. Having taught teenagers, I know that they don't stand for self-indulgent writing of any kind. So it's a good approach to have for writing in general, to think about the tolerance of your readers and to make sure you keep it exciting. There are so many authors out that I really admire, who are such an inspiration, authors like Patrick Ness, Mal Peet, David Almond; amazing writers who have written these great books, which have so much going on in them, but with so little waste as they are so economical with their writing. There can be snobbery on creative writing courses about narrative books, but I think it's probably what brings most people in to stories."
Daylight Saving is out now, published by Walker.

It takes years to develop a new line of yarn. Development takes time, as well as market research
to see what is needed in the marketplace. Brown Sheep Company yarns are known as being workhorse and �go to� yarns to the stitching community. When the decision was made to bring on a new line of yarn, we wanted to make sure the new yarn would be a classic, not trendy; one that would go the long haul and be an addition to our traditional, hard-working yarns.
Texture is intriguing, both to see and to touch. It makes the stitches �pop!� when one looks at them, and one�s fingers tickle when touched. So, what can we do with both texture and durability?
Boucle: A type of yarn, usually three ply, and having one thread looser than the others that produces a rough-textured cloth. From the French, �to curl�.
We chose to create Lana Boucle, a companion yarn to Lanaloft. Lana Boucle knits at the same gauge as Lanaloft, so it�s an easy transition from one yarn to the other in the same garment.
The colors also coordinate from one line to the other for striking variation of texture while keeping the coordination of the fibers. Currently, there are 25 colors of the Lana Boucle, including three hand paints. Click here to see each color that�s available http://brownsheep.com/yarns/lana-boucle/category/lana-boucle, as well as clicking on the hand paint colors to see how they look knitted up. Melissa Leapman recently designed a few patterns using Lana Boucle, and she says, �I adore Brown Sheep Company's new Lana Boucle yarn. It has all the texture we expect from boucle construction without the hard-to-knit and messy loops. It's a designer's--and knitter's!--dre

As in international student, maybe you're dreaming and wondering if you could ever come to the USA for your college? The answer is Yes!
Last year, 800,000 students from all over the globe came to the USA for college – but it's not easy and you're going to need some help along the way before you get your student visa and show up for classes.
For any student who speaks English as a first language the process for getting into college in USA is tough, but for students who speak English as a second language you're going to have to work even harder.
Even the most determined, organized, and emotionally and mentally prepared overseas students have a difficult road ahead – but almost a million came here just last year – you can do it!
This article talks about some of the things you need to know that will help you prepare for conquering the challenges you will be facing as an international student, including:
• How are you evaluated as a student?
• Do higher international student numbers mean more admissions?
• Are college international student percentages up, or down?
• You're competing on a global scale
• Every college has unique admission requirements
• Can you be competitive enough?
How Are You Evaluated Compared to American Students?
There are three things that matter the most to college admission boards for international students applying to US colleges.
1) Extracurricular activities.
What you do outside of college, what we call extracurricular activities, matter more than you may think. College admissions boards look for well-balanced students and excellent grades are not enough on their own.
Find ways to highlight anything you've done outside of your classes, from working part time, to volunteering anywhere for any cause, to learning to play an instrument to juggling track and being on the badminton team.
2) SAT scores matter too.
As an international student, universities here are going to have a difficult time interpreting what your high school transcripts mean as far as curriculum is concerned. This is how the SAT has evolved into a required test everyone must do well on to be considered for college.
The good news is that there is a movement in the USA these days where more colleges are not requiring SAT scores for their admission. The original mission of the SAT was to identify intellectual talent regardless of race, color, creed, money, or geography, and it will give talent room to blossom. But the data available today indicates the SAT no longer serves as an equalizer and some refer to it as "a wealth test".
For now, most colleges are still using the SAT to evaluate your academic potential and past knowledge acquired, so do everything possible to get the highest score you can.
3) English language tests still matter.
It's still critical that you do well on the TOEFL or IELTS exams. As an international student your English-speaking abilities are analyzed closely because your communication skills affect how much you participate in class and are able to keep up with your workload.
Universities want every indication that you are an advanced English speaker and these test are crucial to displaying these skills.
International Student Populations Can Be Misleading
Yes. Unfortunately for you, you need to be prepared to just accept that you can't simply look at the percentage of international students at a certain school and figure out your odds of getting accepted.
Did you know that most colleges have limits on their international student population, usually capped at around 10%? Rarely will colleges admit to quotas like this, but it's clear these numbers don't vary much year to year. Looking at colleges that have a 20% overall admissions rate for international students indicates the rate for overseas students will be closer to 5%.
And this smaller percentage doesn't go into details like you are competing with other international students from over 80 countries, along with your home country. The numbers show that a college may get 300 applications from India, for example, and accept only 2 or 3!
Your way around this is to look at the list of schools to which all international students apply, and pick the less popular colleges because they will not receive as many applications from your competition.
Rural schools and schools that are not located in the Northeast section of the USA get fewer applications - this will increase your admission success.
It's a Great Time to be an International Student
Recent numbers show the overall amount of international students coming to the USA for college is increasing every year and this increase is expected to triple in the coming decade.
To attract even more overseas students, colleges are expanding their international programs; especially for STEM field students and full-pay students.
You can take advantage of increasing opportunities for international students by highlighting in your admission applications what you will bring to the college campus academically, culturally, and socially.
Another thing to consider when taking advantage of the positive tide of international students is to use financial aid as a selection tool. If you are going to need financial aid, don't bother wasting your time on colleges that don't offer financial aid to international students. Check first before you fall in love with a school that won't offer you any financial aid and ignore them completely.
You're Competing on a Global Scale
Remember that you are competing with a large number of other international students for a small percentage of available seats.
Think about these when you complete your application:
• If you don't need financial aid – congratulations! And be sure to let your college know you do not need any financial aid because it's more difficult to get accepted if you need financial assistance as an international student.
• Highlight what makes you different than the other students at your high school, or college if you are applying for graduate work, and explain clearly why you are passionate about coming to America for your college education.
• Emphasize your background and your diversity as much as possible. Colleges pride themselves as being places of learning and your perspectives as an overseas student are attractive to the admissions board.
• Practice both the ACT and SAT. You should know after this practice which test is right for you. And don't be surprised if you do better on the ACT, many international students do.
• If you are looking for a liberal arts education, curriculum that provides general knowledge and develops your intellectual abilities, explain your understanding of what this type of education means in America. You should know how it is different than the more professionally oriented college curriculum offered at colleges in your home country.
• The name of the college is not as important as you think. A prestigious school with a stellar reputation is just that, until you do your research and get beneath the flashy brochures and website and get a real feeling for the overall education environment.
• If you can, gousavisacenter suggests visiting every school you are applying to, at least go online and take a virtual tour of the campus. Does it feel comfortable enough that you can spend the next four years of your life there? What about six to eight years for your graduate work?
Every College Has Unique Requirements
Everything in America tends to be unique and different, whether you are picking out a car or a cell phone or groceries or selecting a college for your education – every experience is going to be a little different and everybody and everything likes to stand out and be considered an improvement here.
One of the main differences in higher education in the USA is that our education system is not centralized like it is in many countries. Admission requirements for colleges vary greatly from one college to the next in the USA.
Your academic background will be looked at differently by every university so it will be helpful to understand these different viewpoints. For example, there are three prevailing grading systems; the 4.0 scale, the % system, and the letter grade methods. Which system are your #1, #2, and #3 college choices using?
A Last Word on Being Competitive
To increase your chances of being admitted to the college of your choice, gousavisacenter recommends completing a program of study that qualifies you for admission to colleges in your home country as a foundation of your experience and knowledge.
If you take the toughest classes you can handle, especially in the areas you are passionate about, colleges in the USA will understand what you have accomplished no matter how they evaluate your academic experience. They will reward you for stretching your abilities and pushing yourself.
And keep in mind that as an international student, you have to navigate admission requirements along with those for national students, including proof of your proficiency in English.
Be as prepared as possible and get help with your progress every step of the way. Almost 1 million international students selected a college, picked a degree, took the required tests, wrote the essays, tracked down their recommendations and got accepted to a college in the USA – just last year!
For international students, many college graduates come to realize that the process of getting into college is actually more difficult and exhausting than getting through college and earning a degree.
You can do it too. Write me here at http://www.gousavisacenter.com if you have noticed any other interesting trends with college admission processes for international students. Good luck and don't give up.

I decided I wanted to pursue chemistry when I was a sophomore in high school. Bucknell offered me the chance to start doing research in my first year, right out of high school, as a Presidential Fellow. — Kaitlyn Perez '15, chemistry
The beauty of a liberal arts university like Bucknell is the cross-pollination of ideas and knowledge among departments, which creates unlimited interdisciplinary learning opportunities. None operate in a vacuum, yet each has its own character. Professors are able to build an almost-familial sense of camaraderie that extends to their students - many of whom stay in touch with favorite faculty members long after graduation.
If you're an alum, your own department may have a special place in your heart. If you're a parent or grandparent, you may wish to support your student's area of study. Opportunities to strengthen individual academic areas abound. For example, your donation could purchase additional educational resources, or create research or travel opportunities.

Oculofaciocardiodental (OFCD) and Lenz microphthalmia syndromes form part of a spectrum of X-linked microphthalmia disorders characterized by ocular, dental, cardiac and skeletal anomalies and mental retardation. The two syndromes are allelic, caused by mutations in the BCL-6 corepressor gene (BCOR). To extend the series of phenotypes associated with pathogenic mutations in BCOR, we sequenced the BCOR gene in patients with (1) OFCD syndrome, (2) putative X-linked ('Lenz') microphthalmia syndrome, (3) isolated ocular defects and (4) laterality phenotypes. We present a new cohort of females with OFCD syndrome and null mutations in BCOR, supporting the hypothesis that BCOR is the sole molecular cause of this syndrome. We identify for the first time mosaic BCOR mutations in two females with OFCD syndrome and one apparently asymptomatic female. We present a female diagnosed with isolated ocular defects and identify minor features of OFCD syndrome, suggesting that OFCD syndrome may be mild and underdiagnosed. We have sequenced a cohort of males diagnosed with putative X-linked microphthalmia and found a mutation, p.P85L, in a single case, suggesting that BCOR mutations are not a major cause of X-linked microphthalmia in males. The absence of BCOR mutations in a panel of patients with non-specific laterality defects suggests that mutations in BCOR are not a major cause of isolated heart and laterality defects. Phenotypic analysis of OFCD and Lenz microphthalmia syndromes shows that in addition to the standard diagnostic criteria of congenital cataract, microphthalmia and radiculomegaly, patients should be examined for skeletal defects, particularly radioulnar synostosis, and cardiac/laterality defects.

If you are leaving Canada to work or live abroad and you are currently a Canadian resident, then the taxman can and will take a big bite from your wallet upon your departure.
There are 10 major tax implications that will directly affect you when you become a non resident of Canada, which are discussed below.
How do you become a non-resident of Canada?
Before we review the 10 major tax implications of becoming a non-resident of Canada, let's first answer the question, "How do you become a non-resident of Canada?"
There are four factors that could cause you to become a non resident of Canada:
- You sold your home (or broke your lease) in Canada and purchased a home (or entered into a new lease) in your new country of residence.
- Your spouse and children moved with you to your new country of residence.
- You sold your personal possessions in Canada, such as your furniture, appliances, investments, and so forth and purchased personal possessions in your new country of residence.
- You severed your social ties with Canada and established social ties in your new country of residence.
If you are leaving Canada then you can fill out the determination of residency status form (NR73) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website. This form is optional, and is not required to be completed.
Certain tax practitioners are of the view that form NR73 should be completed and submitted to the CRA, so that the CRA can provide you with a notice of determination on your non-residency status. By doing so, you have very little uncertainty on your status as a tax resident of Canada, giving you peace of mine.
Other practitioners are of the view that form NR73 should not be completed and submitted to the CRA. This is because you do not want to 'invite the CRA' to scrutinize your situation by filing form NR73. The CRA often takes a conservative position in determining your Canadian residency status, and as tax collectors it's in their best interest to have you pay tax as a Canadian resident.
Becoming a non-resident of Canada – 10 Major Tax Implications
There are 10 major tax implications of becoming a non resident of Canada.
1. Canada Child Tax Benefit – Becoming a non-resident of Canada
You will stop receiving the Canada Child Tax Benefit and Universal Child Care Benefit upon becoming a non-resident of Canada. You should inform the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA, 1-800-959-8281) of the change in your residency status, so that the payments will stop.
2. GST/HST Credits
You will stop receiving GST/HST tax credits (sent in the form of cheques to you by the CRA) upon becoming a non-resident of Canada.
3. Repay Home Buyers Plan and Life Long Learning Plan
You have 60 days from the date you become a non-resident (which is usually the date when you leave Canada) to repay any amounts that you owe under the home buyers plan or the life long learning plan. If you do not make payment within the 60 day period, the balances owing will be included in your income on your final tax return in Canada.
Tip: If you expect your income to be very low in the year of departure from Canada, then it may be advantageous to include the balances owing from the Home Buyers Plan and Life Long Learning Plan as income in your final Canadian tax return. This way, you will pay low tax on the income included, and you will have no obligation to repay the balances owing.
4. Tax Free Savings Account – Becoming a Non Resident of Canada
The funds within your TFSA can remain even after you leave Canada and any earnings accrued in your account and withdrawals will not be taxed in Canada. They may however be taxed in your current country of residence. You will however not be able to accrue additional TFSA contribution room for any years in which you are non-resident of Canada.
If as a non-resident, you make a contribution that is neither a qualifying transfer nor an exempt contribution. you will be subject to a 1% tax for each month the contribution remains in the account.
5. Stop Contributing to Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)
You are allowed to contribute to your RRSP's even after you become a non-resident of Canada, as long as you have RRSP room available. However, it doesn't make sense to contribute to your RRSP after you leave Canada, because you won't be able to deduct the RRSP contributions made. The reason being is that you most likely won't have any income in Canada, after you leave.
Tip: If you expect to have a significant amount of income on your final Canadian tax return, then consider making a RRSP contribution in the year of departure. The RRSP contribution will be tax deductible.
6. Call your Bank, Financial Advisor and Pension Administrator
Upon becoming a non-resident of Canada, you should call your bank, financial advisor and financial advisor to inform them of your change in residency status.
- Your bank must begin withholding 25 percent tax from any interest that it pays you, as must other financial institutions. The same tax applies for dividends paid to you.
- Tax of 25% will also be withheld from Old Age Security payments and Canada Pension Plan payments.
- Payments made to you from a Registered Pension Plan will also be subject the 25% withholding tax.
As you can see, 25 percent tax is withheld from passive income paid to non residents of Canada. However, the withholding tax rate can be reduced by a Tax Treaty that Canada has with your new country of residence. Please consult this chart to determine the new tax rates for each country. Additionally, you can use this online calculator from the CRA to calculate your withholding tax.
Personal Story: I have had clients, who are retired, that did not inform the CRA that they became non-residents of Canada. As a result, they continued to receive the gross amount of CPP and OAS payments without withholding tax being properly deducted. The taxman eventually caught on, and the penalties and interest amounted to more than the actual withholding tax liability. The lesson here is that Pension Income is subject to withholding tax at a rate of 25% by the CRA and it should always be paid.
7. Disclose all Canadian Assets – Becoming a non-resident of Canada
When you become a non-resident of Canada, you must disclose all of the property that you own, having an aggregate cost of $25 000 or more, on your final personal tax return. These are classified as 'reportable properties' and penalties up to $2,500 can be levied by the CRA for non disclosure. There are a few notable exceptions including property that is an excluded right or interest (see point and personal use property that has a fair market value of less than $10,000.
Tip: Real Estate, RRSPs, RESPs, and certain types of property do not have to be disclosed.
8. Deemed Disposition of Property
When you become a non-resident of Canada, you are deemed to dispose of all of your property at its fair market value and any unrealized gains will be subject to income tax even if you have, in fact, have not sold the property. This is known as departure tax, and it can add up to a significant amount. Imagine selling all of the property you own today and having to pay tax on the profits, which is what actually happens when you emigrate from Canada.
Assets that are subject to departure tax include:
- Stocks of all companies, private and public
- Mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, partnership interests
- Real estate situated outside of Canada
- Foreign Trusts
- Certain personal property, if it has appreciated in value
Departure Tax is not applicable to the following:
- Real property situated in Canada, Canadian resource properties and timber resource properties;
- The property of a business that is maintained through a permanent establishment. This includes capital property, eligible capital property and property described in the inventory of the business
- Certain property of a returning former resident who last emigrated after October 1, 1996, will no longer be treated as having realized accrued gains on departure.
- Property belonging to a short-term resident (an individual who is a resident in Canada for less than 60 months in the 120 month period preceding the disposition) when that resident came to Canada or any property acquired through inheritance after that individual became a resident of Canada.
- Property that is deemed to be an "excluded right or interest" of the taxpayer. This refers to future benefits and payments under certain plans and arrangements, including pensions, RPPs, IPPs, RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs, DSPs, and RCAs. For the full extensive list, please consult Section 128 of the Canada Income Tax Act.
- Life Insurance policies also fall under this category. However this is only applicable to Canadian residents. Non-residents of Canada that own foreign life insurance will be subjected to departure tax.
For more detailed information on these exemptions, please take a look at our article on tax consequences on emigration to the United States for Canadians.
Most Canadians do not pay departure tax because of the exceptions. Those Canadians who own investments outside of their RRSPs, or are business owners, should be prepared to pay departure tax upon becoming a non-resident of Canada. (There is a special election available to defer paying departure tax by providing the CRA with security or collateral for paying it later).
Security and Deferring the Departure Tax
It is possible to defer the departure tax for those who intend to regain residency status or for those who do not have the funds to pay the tax. This can be done by providing the Canada Revenue Agency with deemed acceptable security such as bank guarantees, letters of credit, shares of corporation which is equal in value to the taxes due. In order to elect this payment you must file the form T1161. Remember that security is only required if the tax owing on the deemed disposition is in excess of $14,500. Also if you have already paid the departure tax and intend to return to Canada, then you are eligible for a tax refund. The taxes that are owed on the deemed disposition is due by April 30 or (June 15 if you are claiming self-employment income) of the year following the year in which you move.
9. Selling Your Home After Leaving Canada
If you sell your home in Canada after you become a non-resident of Canada, you will have to pay 25 percent tax on the gross selling price of your home. For example, if you sold your home for $400, 000 after you left Canada, then you will have to pay tax of $100,000, or 25 percent. This can cause financial hardship for many Canadians.
Fortunately, there is a special tax election that you can make to reduce the amount of tax to 25 percent of the gain on sale of your home. The gain is calculated as the selling price, less the original purchase price. You can claim the principal residence exemption for the period of time that you lived in the home. With the principal residence exemption, the increase in the value of your home while you lived in it will not be subjected to capital gains tax.
Tip: If you rent your home while you are a non-resident, which many Canadians choose, you will need to file a Section 216 Tax Return to report the rental profits earned. For more information on completing the Section 216 Tax Return, please see our article on non-residents receiving rental income.
For example, assume that the fair market value of your home when you left Canada was $390,000 and that you sold your for $400,000. In this example, the gain will be $10 000, which is subject to 25 percent tax, i.e. $2,500.
10. File Final Canadian Personal Tax Return
You must file a final Canadian tax return for the taxation year in which you leave Canada and:
- You have to disclose your date of departure on the final tax return.
- Your personal tax credits will be reduced by the number of days that you were outside of Canada.
- You must list all of the assets that you own, if those assets have an aggregate cost of $25 000 or more.
- You must pay departure tax or file the applicable forms for deferring departure tax.

KU Logos
Guidelines for usage of the Jayhawk
The Jayhawk is an iconic presence on the KU campus and on apparel and other promotional items. It often represents the university in place of or in addition to the KU logo and signature. As such, a set of guidelines has been developed for using the Jayhawk in print and on promotional items. These guidelines also address use of historical Jayhawks and the Jayhawk head application.
Acceptable Variations
The Jayhawk, originally drawn by KU student Hal Sandy in 1946, can face either right or left. The Jayhawk is a federally registered trademark and must always be accompanied by a circle R.
Clear Space
Clear space requirements must be observed except in special, pre-approved circumstances.
Minimum size
The height of the Jayhawk should not be less than1/2inch in print, shown here in actual size.
Grayscale Jayhawk
The grayscale Jayhawk is acceptable ONLY for high-quality print production.
Color standards
The three-colored Jayhawk is preferred in KU blue (PMS 293), crimson (PMS 186) and yellow (PMS 116). It may also be printed in one-color black or KU blue (PMS 293). When used on a dark background, the Jayhawk should have a white outline to provide contrast. In any one-color application, the body should always be dark.
Use of Historic Jayhawks and Outdated Marks
Historic Jayhawks and former logos must be accompanied by the year in which they were created.These include the 1912, 1920, 1923, 1929, 1941, and 1946 Jayhawks, as well as KUMC's JayDoc and other former official logos no longer in use.The date should be in a sans serif font such as Gill Sans, shown here. It should be close to the Jayhawk, but is secondary and should be smaller or shown in a lighter color. The date may fall outside of the minimum size standard.
Use of the Jayhawk Head and Clear Space
The Jayhawk head may face either right or left and must always be accompanied by a circle R. Clear space requirements must be observed, except in special, pre-approved circumstances.

- Dying city - by UNexperiencedWatch
©2011-2016 UNexperienced
One of most interesting city in Italy. Deep, very erosed valley and small city on vulcanic slope.. Thanks to erosion the city is dying..
Wow! Unusual place...
La Civita di Bagnoregio !
I love that place
I love that place
Yeah, for me its especially interesting at night. I overslept there only in sleepbag, alone.. And early morning took adventurous trip into bizzary erosed valley. It was worthy! Under village is big throughout rocky tunnel, did U find it?
A tunnel !!! I didn't know the existence of a tunnel...
I will try to find it next time, what is it inside ?
I will try to find it next time, what is it inside ?
From village is path (at other end than is bridge) leading little bit down and then is tunnel U can go through it and at end of it is path down to valley.. There used to be market path via Calanchi (erosed hils) in Valley, but probably because is it dangerous in nowadays, its abandoned.. Its the only way and shortest to get down to valley from village (if U do not count bridge of course)
That is incredibly beautiful!!!
