This may be due to an engine misfire or a transmission problem, but it's hard to know without driving the vehicle and performing some tests. Is the check engine light on? Have you had it looked at for this problem?

Good 3.2 /5 from 65 reviews
We did realize it was an enormous complex of hotel appartments, with adjoining affliated resorts. It was a great place for our dogs, with a beach just for dogs. Lots of fun activities, kayaks, massages, bikes, boats, tennis. All resonably priced. We found the staff helpful, especially when we need a mechanic for our car and needed at last minute to stay another night. Especially one gent named Salem, really helped us out. The mechanic across the street was also great. This place is a tennis aficionados dream with a tennis academy nearby. Lots of family activities, or night time adult activities. The water access is not a sand beach, they are not common in the area. But the water was clean and clear, good for snorkelling. Also swimming was nice with areas cleared of mucky plants. Overall budget friendly, activitiy rich, chill place, the room was just fine. Not fancy, but good enough.
The stay was good, we were missing air coinditioner and we had problems with opening the windosws. Everything else was fine.
Great apartments for the price. A little shabby but only to be expected for the cost. I would have highly recommended it to those on a budget were it not for the extremely loud PA system delivering the music nightly till 2am. Windows shut and earplugs did not block it out- couldn't quite get my head around why it needed to be like that. Staff were lovely though- helpful and very pleasant
Female staff manner is bad, no other transportation except the touris train, to city centre is too bad.

Persia, bordering Central Asia and the Middle East, is the home of Classical Persian Dance. This dance style is a fluid yet rhythmic dance form, which emphasizes the use of hands and wrists. The movement and positioning of the body reflect the rich and refined aesthetics of Persian.
The focus of this course is on the shape of the hands, movement of the wrists and feet, isolation and coordination of arms and legs, and capturing the Persian aesthetics in the body line. Nomenclature of the movements will be presented in Farsi (Persian language).
Pre-recorded Classical Persian music will be used in class.
Born and raised in Iran, Shahrzad has been passionately involved in dance since childhood. She studied Dance and Performance Art at the California Institute of the Arts, and she holds a BA in Dance, as well as an MA in Creative Arts from San Francisco State University. Her dance training includes Modern, Jazz, Ballet, West African, Afro-Haitian, Congolese, and an introduction to Senegalese, Balinese and Flamenco.
Drawing upon her deep familiarity of authentic Persian dance, her formal dance training, and her intrinsic knowledge of Persian aesthetics, Shahrzad is a pioneer in Persian dance and quite possibly the first to create a formalized dance vocabulary and structure for Persian dance, helping in the artistic development and dissemination of an art form that has been outlawed in Iran for the past three decades.
Her system includes the introduction of fundamental Persian body positions and movement, categorization and designation of nomenclature to movements, assembly of movement into choreographed phrases, and composition of dance pieces woven intricately with Persian music.

Location: Sahara Dance Central
Cost: $55
This workshop is dedicated to flamenco song, dance and guitar and how they support each other in the form of Tangos (said to have come from the sound of a drum, or "tan").
This simpler rhythm - a 4/4 time signature - will give students a chance to learn the dance while listening to the singing, guitar and palmas with an open ear.
Flamenco "por fiesta" is the quintessential cante chico. It is improvisational in nature, performed spontaneously at weddings, festivals, parties and on the streets of southern Spain. The Tangos form is sensual and feminine. Put it together and you have the basics of Flamenco Puro!
Recommended with Cante Chico workshop on June 11.

Although flamenco's roots are traced to Northern India, there are many influences which played a fundamental role in the development of Flamenco music. In recent decades, percussive feet have been front and center in Flamenco dance, but the history can be traced back even further to a dance characterized by signature ornamentation, flourishes, posture, and gesture. Since the 1970's there has been a flurry of innovation fusing the Arabic and Flamenco forms.
Designed especially for belly dancers, in this workshop we forget Flamenco footwork to focus on the flair of Flamenco's upper body. The Flamenco arm is powerful with resistance. Arm positions generally frame the torso and the head with curling and twisting motions accented by rotations of the wrists and articulate fingers. Between the ornate character of the arms and hands ("brazeo") and the accentuated hips and pulse of the "marcaje" there is lots to learn… and without even stomping one foot!
Students will explore the mood of "Tangos" - a simple 4/4 rhythm which is playful and earthy, yet saucy and flirtatious. The word "Tangos" is said to have come from the onomatopoeia 'tang' which means 'sound of the drum'. Tangos, and its accompanying dance, has an attitude that is conversational and inviting. Though the movements can be simple and accessible even to a novice, dancers at all levels will be challenged while also having fun and getting a work out.
"¡A bailar… ´Ole!"

Arms frame the belly dancer. They direct the audience's attention and accentuate the rest of our dance.
In this class, Alyssum will introduce Persian Miniature framing, philosophy on how/where and why certain arm positions work better (or worse) than others, and guide you through drills and several frameworks of dancing with lovely arms. Shoulder shimmies will also be addressed.
Alyssum Pohl completed a four-month solo kayak journey down the Mississippi River last summer/fall. Her arms are more buff than they've ever been! Luckily, you don't have to paddle thousands of miles to achieve elegant and beautiful armwork in your dance!
This class is best for the intermediate dancer. Beginner students who want to challenge themselves are welcome, and advanced students curious about Persian Miniatures and reviewing arm positions are also welcome.

Known for its sensual beauty and graceful, flowy movement, Odissi (a form of classical Indian dance from the state of Orissa) is often described as the representation of water in the body.
Drawing from the rich languages of traditional Indian dance styles including Odissi and Rajasthani folk, as well as more contemporary Bollywood-inspired aesthetics, this class combines the traditional with the modern to explore fusion of Indian dance with Egyptian-style cabaret belly dance.
Beginning with light yoga and stretching, practice formation of the hands, arms, and back as well as basic footwork. Learn short choreographies exploring pure dance as well as the mudras (symbolic gestures or poses used in Hindustani classical dance) and the meaning behind them.

Jul. 18, 2005
Maricopa County
Arizona, USA
Inventor of the TV Dinner. During World War II, he was an Army Intelligence officer and was awarded the Bronze Star for securing critical Japanese code documents on Okinawa. He would also claim that he ate dinner with famed correspondent Ernie Pyle at his last meal, and was next to Lt General Simon Buckner when he was killed. During the mid-1950s he was a marketing executive for Swanson Corporation, a poultry packing company, and came up with the idea to package a full dinner, for serving while watching the new device called television. His innovation was developed as a means of getting rid of surplus turkeys left over from Thanksgiving. In a later interview, he stated he got the idea from seeing metal disposable trays being tested by Pan American Airlines for serving hot meals while in flight. From his World War II experience as an Army Lieutenant on Okinawa, Thomas changed the tray from a single compartment to three compartments, separating the meat from the vegetables to keep them from mixing while cooking. Thomas coined the term "TV Dinner" as a marketing gimmick, linking the meal to public excitment over the new broadcast medium. Swanson had already had success with meat pot pies, which had been introduced in 1951, and in early 1954, began the first TV Dinners, initially selling them for a reported high cost of 98 cents. Over ten million of the dinners were sold the first year. When the Swanson Company was acquired by the Campbell Soup Company, Thomas became a Sales Manager, and later the Director of Marking and Sales. He retired in 1970, following a heart attack, and later directed an art gallery and did consulting work. (Bio by Kit and Morgan Benson)

Dawson vs Ward reminds me of Toney vs Jones
Not stylistically because Dawson/Ward & Jones/Toney fight nothing alike. But I mean in a sense of two future hall of famers meeting early in their careers with not a lot of major hype behind the fight.
I remember Toney/Jones did an HBO pre-fight conference, but that was about it. It wasn't a mega fight. In retrospect, Jones-Toney should have been a mega fight considering the magnitude of the matchup.
20 years from now, we'll look back at this matchup (Ward-Dawson)and say the same. Whoever wins tomorrow night, essentially, will have a win over a "PRIME" future hall of famer.
Pretty interesting living in history.

Pittsburgh the kinder gentler team? Orpik and Engelland gone + Neal.
Cowtown will enjoy watching this guy throw haymakers.
Posted by Slumpy from Detroit on 07/01/14 at 03:22 PM ET
I love Engelland being that he played for my hometown SC Stingrays in the ECHL and for my Penguins, but WOW. This is unbelievable. $2.9MM total over 3 years would have made sense…but per year?! Do the Flames need to get to the floor so badly that they're just giving money away?
Posted by NHLJeff from Pens fan in Chicago, IL on 07/01/14 at 03:33 PM ET
WTF!? This and the Orpik deal seem to be the worst signings of the day.
Posted by cantskate on 07/01/14 at 06:00 PM ET
This is a pretty crappy deal. It might represent what UFA D-Men are commanding in the market, which is unfortunate.

Time for a change of narrative!,
This review is from: Rollback: Repealing Big Government Before the Coming Fiscal Collapse (Hardcover)
This book is about US history, both recent and early. It is not a single narrative, but an anthology of topics. The unifying theme is that all topics discussed in the book have been used as pro-government propaganda, but Woods interprets them all very differently from the view most have heard. The robber barons, the George Bush bubble, the military industrial complex all have a place here.
Some interesting things I learned from this book:
Certainly the most eye-opening thing for me was the analysis of the military-industrial complex and how it diverts American engineers from working on useful projects. Even a "small" military budget of 4% of GDP can have a huge effect on the price of engineers. The "mere" 4% figure actually hides an enormous cost to the economy because of the number of engineers drawn away from useful work. The argument that so much innovation in industry comes ultimately out of the military seems a lot less convincing when you realize that American industry might have twice the number of engineers available if it were not for the military in the first place!
Woods argues persuasively that repealing the Glass-Stegal act was such a minor change that it had nothing to do with the 2008 crash. I had previously accepted the argument that this change worsened the crash because it "deregulated" banks while still guaranteeing them under FDIC. However, the US was the only country ever to separate investment and commercial banking as Glass-Stegal did, so there is no particular reason to think that this change could be the cause of the housing bubble.
Although the book is clearly marketed towards conservatives, you certainly aren't going to become more conservative when you read it. Rather, you will become more radically anti government. At the end of the book, Woods advocates not only nullification, but also secession, agorism, and the Free State Project! This would be a great book to give to some of your tea party friends, but I would recommend it to anyone who still believes government action rescued America from its social and economic problems in the past.

Bruno says:
While it may not have directly led to the housing bubble burst and financial meltdown, I have to think that Glass-Steagal's repealing did cause banks to be able to take on risk that ultimately killed the economy. If you knew your bank was leveraging up sio much and had deposits there would you leave deposits there w/o FDIC protections? Look at Europe in 2011. They can't let Greek bondholders lose because those bondholders are banks!
In reply to an earlier post on Nov 2, 2013 1:34:04 PM PDT
GRR DTOM says:
Yeah, without the federal reserve and other corrosive govt policy, like too big to fail, maybe the Glass Steagal would not have been that big a deal. But, with ZIRP and having no risk in speculative investment of cheap federal reserve largesse, the banks are free to lose trillions of our dollars. We end up paying for it, and they get bonuses for being evil geniuses. No one gets penalized, and they just go back to doing what they were doing before. Already today we see the big banks doing the same things they were doing leading up to 2008, and they hold so much political and financial power that no one will do anything about it and the media won't talk about it.

Numbers of people in China who are now classified as overweight and obese have risen sharply in a relatively short time, says Professor Yangfeng Wu from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing.
They account for one fifth of the worlds population in this condition, despite China once being seen as country with a lean population.
Figures from the 2002 national nutrition and health survey in China showed 14.7% of Chinese were overweight and another 2.6% were obese meaning that there were an estimated 184 million overweight people and a further 31 million obese people there.
Data from the China national surveys on the constitution and health in school children also showed that the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children aged 7-18 increased 28 times and obesity increased four times between 1985 and 2000.
The reasons for this can be attributed to a combination of factors including changes to traditional diet, reduced levels of physical activity, and a more sedentary lifestyle, says Professor Wu, for example, with a large rise in the number of cars being bought. Production of cars in China rose from 5,400 in 1980 to over 2 million in 2003.
As in other countries, Chinas epidemic of overweight and obesity poses a considerable public health problem, and it is becoming increasingly clear that we need to act now to prevent any further increase, he writes.
Ways of doing this are uncertain, he suggests, but lifestyle education could help as well as listing the prevention and control of obesity as a goal in Chinas framework and policy on health.

An appreciation of the rippled muscles of Arnold Schwarzenegger, from his Hercules days through to Predator...
Did you know Donald Trump's successor on The Celebrity Apprentice was once one of the biggest box-office draws in the world? Trippy, right? Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger became famous for his unique style and his fluctuating dialect, but he was picked for stardom for another reason entirely: he was a rippling, bulging slab of primeval, otherworldly manhood. The man was a titan, casting a shadow as wide as it was high. His fresh, smiling face and booming Austrian lungs were the perfect extras, but Arnold was thrust into the limelight because of his physique.
It was his earliest, formative years in which we saw Arnold's greatest flexes, when he relied on his jaw-dropping size for impact. In 1990 he would dominate both science-fiction and family genres, but it was in the years preceding this that his chest was most greased, skin most tanned and muscles most inflated. So let's think back, relive the carnage, and appreciate the 'King of Kings' in all his glittering majesty.
Hercules In New York (1970)
Seven long years before he starred in a breakout bodybuilding documentary, Arnie's 22-inch arms were breaking onto small screens in Hercules In New York. In Schwarzenegger's first real acting role, his unease is palpable. His thick Austrian accent (dubbed over in the film's original release) hasn't a spot of charisma and his performance is comparable to that of a re-animated corpse.
Schwarzenegger is Hercules, a demi-god sent to Earth. On his trip, he does all the things an everyday tourist does in the Big Apple: finds love, begins a career, flees pursuers in a chariot and chokes out a (man in a) bear (suit). He also finds time to fight off group of six men, using only a ridiculously long plank of wood, and best an Olympic-quality team of athletes at various track and field events. The film may have had a budget tighter than Arnold's shirt, but there is scant excuse for the lack of dimension or invention.
We are treated to Arnold's first show of size when his date shows him a poster for an upcoming Hercules picture. Our travelling deity is offended, claiming the actor looks nothing like him. Doing what any rational demigod would do, he strips off his cream turtleneck, revealing his chiselled torso. His audience-of-one loses her mind as he begins posing, before she realises what an insanely ludicrous thing has occurred. It's only the hindsight novelty factor that keeps Hercules In New York relevant.
Pumping Iron (1977)
Arnold was a star long before Pumping Iron. He was at the peak of his craft. At 28 years old, he stood at 6'2, weighed 240lbs and was a six-time Mr Olympia winner. He retired on top.
The most alpha of males, Arnold sashays through the documentary. Whilst some of his fellow competitors look like circus strongmen, Arnold is a walking sculpture, the perfect blend of symmetry and balance. Even starring alongside a real-life superhero, the Incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno, he looks ginormous. The gap between his front teeth is the only chink in his man-made armour, but somehow he even turns that to his advantage.
The moment in which Schwarzenegger pops the loudest is in a moment of silence. As the documentary takes focus on the reigning champion, we are given a look behind the camera. A photo-shoot sets Arnold alight, as he poses and flexes in complete tranquillity. The only noise we are offered is that of the shutter, focusing our attention to the spectacle before us. In a film where some scenes feel uncomfortable to observe, at one point Arnold refers to Jesus as an inspiration for his legacy, this quiet moment of appreciation is a refreshing pause.
Conan The Barbarian (1982)
Refreshing pauses were seldom offered to us in the following years. Conan's story begins as 'a tale of sorrow', before the barely-dressed warrior embarks on a tale of revenge and retribution. Schwarzenegger's seductive ex-slave possesses superior sword skills, spinning, slashing and slaying a plethora of barbaric nasties.
At the film's most glorious, Conan and his collaborator take a stand against the villainous cavalry. With axe in hand and horns on head, Conan cleaves and slices. Though his weapon looks to be made out of foam and the enemies put up less effort than a pre-relegation Aston Villa, we are treated to a whirlwind of visual and verbal masculine aggression. What's more, we are given one of Arnold's earliest one-liners. In his first prayer, Conan asks his god to "grant me revenge, and if you do not listen, then to hell with you!" It's much better heard than read. This classic scene contained all the components that made his next breakout, muscle-bound feature such an enduring success.
The Terminator (1984)
It only took until 2029 for Arnold to hit the big time. James Cameron's "blazing, cinematic comic-book" (Variety's words) was the perfect vehicle for an emerging Schwarzenegger, as his role would rely on his frame rather than his command of the English language. The Terminator's unmoving grimace removes the need to portray emotion or reaction, but it is a skill few could pull off with such menace. Schwarzenegger is perfect casting: when he loses his eyebrows, he cuts the figure of a stone-cold killing machine.
The opening moments in the present day focus on a trash collector. Electric bolts awaken the workman from his boredom-induced coma, fizzing and zapping around him. They rally to a crescendo of light, producing a figure curled up in a foetal position. This figure is the T-800, a stark-naked Arnold; we see his arse before his face. He rises like the phoenix, striding into the light without a flicker of disorientation or embarrassment. We are slapped with a shady silhouette of his flapping member as he approaches a gang of ruffians, led by a young Bill Paxton, before he utters the now immortal phrase: "Your clothes: give them to me."
The T-800 swats one lackie away, before his jacked right arm lifts another overhead. This loiterer comes down without his heart, Cameron's camera hovering on Arnold's deep red, clutching hand. The T-800 is an instant threat, legitimately scary throughout, but it is in this brutal opening that he feels most deadly. It's not just Orwell who made 1984 special...
Commando (1985)
After playing a travelling god, a rugged caveman and a killer robot, Arnold was refreshed as a loving and devoted father. As John Martix, Schwarzenegger is a family man and a killing machine. These would come to represent the two sides of Schwarzenegger's coin: his films often worked best when the two went hand-in-hand. On screen he would mow down enemies with bullets and grenades, and later help his fictional daughter with her algebra homework. What a sweetheart.
And yet, in a film where hundreds of henchmen bite the dust, it is in his role as 'dedicated father' where he is the most impressive. Matrix had left his commando days behind, now taking care of his daughter, living a reclusive existence. Almost immediately, Schwarzenegger ripples; close-ups of his veined arms and chest are all too close, but remind the audience that Stallone is a boy scout in comparison. Arnold saunters toward the camera, carrying a huge tree on his shoulder like it's a week's laundry. Schwarzenegger doesn't finish there. Not only does he handle the log like it's a twirling baton, he finishes the testosterone fest by turning it into kindling. A guy's got to keep that fire burning.
Predator (1987)
While Commando would eventually snowball into a cult classic, Schwarzenegger's following feature would prove the key to stardom. Even before Schwarzenegger stepped foot in the jungle, he met a fellow goliath. As Arnold's pumped-up mercenary Dutch is being briefed on his mission, a lone figure, sitting at a distant table, interjects. That figure is Apollo Cre… Carl Weathers; a man whose size and wit will match Schwarzenegger's all the way.
"Dillon!" Dutch gasps with childlike glee, before grounding his joy with the deprecating: "You son of a bitch." As Dutch and Dillon stride toward one another, their formidable forearms recoil before colliding into the most powerful handshake in cinematic history. The camera shifts focus from their gleaming smirks to the strained embrace. One second turns into five, the embrace morphing into competition, each man fighting in this mid-air arm wrestle. Five seconds turns to ten - the tension grows thick as Arnold toys with his rival. This contest lasts a full twenty seconds - twenty long, facial-hair-inducing seconds.
We may never recover from a scene that powerful.
The film soon hurtles into contact with the titular chameleon with barely chance to catch its breath. This lazer-toting, extra-terrestrial assassin is Arnold's ultimate nemesis, even down to the maniacal cackle. But, not even a foe this deadly could create a scene with the power of that handshake. Even in the film that popularised the full body mud-pack, the ass-kicking action and tension-mounting drama relies on the introduction Weathers and Schwarzenegger offer.
This theme would follow our Austrian actor. His greatest muscle-bound moments would come early, as an introduction, setting the tone and character in motion. As his career developed, Arnold proved he was much more than just unisex eye-candy, developing his aesthetic allure into real Hollywood charisma. Arnold would come to blossom in attracting a younger market, mixing action roles in Terminator 2 and Total Recall with Kindergarten Cop and Junior. Not only did Kindergarten Cop have no right to be as good as it is, but Arnold had no right to be so enjoyable to watch. His size became a point of contrast rather than one of awe, towering over others without menace but humour. He became his own character, a phenomenon for a reason beyond his look. He became the epitome of the American Dream, persevering and succeeding more than anyone thought he could. The ex-army tank driver would go on to ask in Junior, "Does my body disgust you?" and later become the Governor of California.
We've had some shallow fun, picking through Arnold's early years for his most outrageous muscle flexes. But it's worth remembering that Schwarzenegger's story is one of success through a lot of hard work and perseverence.
I'm just going to leave this here in case you feel motivated; I know I do...

Fresh off her recent turn in Creed, Tessa Thompson is jumping headfirst into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actress who is most known for starring in Veronica Mars, has been cast as Thor's new love interest in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok.
Will she dethrone Natalie Portman from Chris Hemsworth's life? The only thing that's for certain is that Ragnarok won't be her only film in the McU. Thompson's character in the film will be a kind of superhero.
Thor: Ragnarok is being directed by Taika Waititi and also stars Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Jamie Alexander, Mark Ruffalo and Lou Ferrigno. It's scheduled for release November 3, 2017.

Tessa Thompson is bound for the Seven Realms now that the Creed breakout has joined the cast of Thor: Ragnarok, replacing Natalie Portman as the threequel's female lead.
Having played the role of Dr. Jane Foster across both Thor and The Dark World – not to mention off-screen mentions in the Avengers – word of Portman exiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe is fairly surprising. Incidentally, Thompson and Portman will soon share the screen for Alex Garland's adaptation of Annihilation.
More News From The Web
That said, when it comes to today's casting news, sources close to production cite that Thompson has closed a deal to play a fellow superhero opposite Chris Hemsworth's returning God of Thunder, one who may very well be in line to star in multiple movies beyond Ragnarok.
Production on Taika Waititi's sci-fi threequel is due to get underway in July of this year, »

According to Deadline, Tessa Thompson (Creed, Selma, Annihilation) has joined the cast of Thor: Ragnarok in an undisclosed, but very interesting sounding role. The trade reckons her character will be Chris Hemsworth's new love interest (unlucky, Jane), and will also be "a kind of superhero that will appear in other Marvel films as well." Could this be Valkyrie, perhaps? That would gel with the "kind of superhero" description, but how likely is it that the character would be utilized for other movies? Le us know who you think Thompson will be playing in the usual place. Thor: Ragnarok is being directed by Taika Waititi and also stars Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Jamie Alexander, Mark Ruffalo and Lou Ferrigno. The movie is set to hit theatres on November 3rd, 2017. »

Asked about his thoughts on the current state of the race, Bruckheimer said, "I think it's very interesting. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out in the next two to three months and we'll see where the candidates will be on both sides. It's heating up with Democrats and Republicans."

SEATTLE - JANUARY 05: Washington Redskins fans hold up a Sean Taylor jersey before the Redskins take on the Seattle Seahawks during the NFC Wild Card game at Qwest Field on January 5, 2008 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images)
MIAMI (AP) --A man on trial in the slaying of Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor admitted to breaking into the NFL player's home, kicking down the bedroom door and shooting Taylor, and drew a detailed diagram of the house, labeling himself as the shooter, a Miami-Dade police detective testified Thursday.Defendant Eric Rivera wasn't handcuffed but came willingly to talk to authorities in Fort Myers in November 2007, the detective said. At first, he told investigators he stayed home all weekend and maybe caught a movie with his girlfriend. As authorities pressed, he said he had a bad memory and that everything was foggy, said lead investigator Juan Segovia.When authorities walked another defendant by the room where Rivera was being questioned, Rivera grew noticeably anxious, Segovia said. He refused to make eye contact and kept rubbing his hands together. One of the detectives gave a moving speech, saying Taylor was an American hero who was doing nothing wrong but was at home sleeping with his baby and girlfriend when he was killed, Segovia said.That's when Rivera's eyes grew teary and he nodded that he had been involved. Rivera and four co-defendants heard Taylor liked to keep a lot of cash around the house, maybe as much as 200,000. They thought Taylor would be with the Redskins at a game at Tampa Bay the night they broke into his house -- but instead he was home with a knee injury, the detective said Rivera told him.Rivera admitted driving the black SUV, parking in front of Taylor's home, hopping a concrete wall and breaking in through a back patio door, Segovia said. As they searched the home for money, they heard a noise, got spooked and ran back to the car. When they re-entered, Rivera said he kicked in Taylor's bedroom door, Segovia testified."He says he saw Sean Taylor running out bedroom, something in his hand. At this point, he lifted up his firearm and shot," Segovia said.Jackie Garcia, Taylor's girlfriend and the mother of his daughter, who was also inside the bedroom, became noticeably upset as the detective recounted details of the slaying and rested her head on her knees in court. She sat near several members of Taylor's family, including his father, Florida City Police Chief Pedro Taylor, in the packed Miami-Dade County courtroom.Taylor was shot in the upper thigh, which severed his femoral artery. The Miami University star had a machete in his hand, and Garcia and their infant daughter were also in the bedroom, though they were not hurt. Taylor died the next day from massive blood loss. The 24-year-old was a Pro Bowl safety for the Redskins who had previously been a popular, locally grown star at the University of Miami."He knew he hit him in the area of the leg. He said the victim fell very rapidly and very hard," Segovia said.After the shooting, the group jumped back into the SUV and as they drove across an interstate known as Alligator Alley, they wiped off the gun, stuffed it into a sock and threw it into the Everglades, the detective said Rivera told him.Prosecutors planned to play the taped confession later Thursday. The validity of a detailed, videotaped confession is the central question for jurors to decide in the first-degree murder trial.Assistant State Attorney Ray Araujo said Rivera voluntarily spoke with detectives without an attorney present about how he shot Taylor while he and four friends attempted to burglarize the football star's Miami-area home.Rivera drew diagrams of the rooms and where everyone was at the time, labeling himself as a stick figure that shot Taylor, the detective said. He also said he was wearing the Nike Shox when he kicked in the door and seemed amused when investigators showed him a footprint lifted from the door, Segovia testified.Rivera's attorney, Janese Caruthers, countered that Rivera was coerced into the confession by a team of investigators who had little evidence and was looking for someone to take the fall in a high-pressure case.But Segovia said Rivera "was very open, very relaxed ... he was eager to talk to us."Because Rivera was 17 at the time of the crime, his maximum possible sentence if convicted is life in prison rather than the death penalty.
