By THOMAS MALLON
Published: February 8, 1987
These Amazons now showed themselves qualified for the duty even of foot-soldiers; they stood there till 5 in the afternoon, without either sustenance or evacuation, every now and then playing volleys of thumps, kicks and raps, against the door, with so much violence that the speakers in the House were scarce heard.''
This stirring bulletin is not the report of a messenger who has just come onstage in some neo-Shakespearean history play. Dramatic as it is, it comes not from a play at all but from a letter written by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) to Lady Henrietta Pomfret, explaining the determined protest of some aristocratic women against the policy of Sir Robert Walpole's Government toward Spain, which was being discussed in the British House of Lords on March 1, 1739. Lady Mary - a wit, a feminist, a traveler credited with introducing the practice of smallpox inoculation into England - was brilliant and complicated. Complicated enough that one could choose to ''play'' this letter, if one were reading it aloud, a num1er of ways: Urgent and impassioned? Ironic and amused? Should there be some sort of clash, in recital, between the author's pro-Walpole feelings and her feminism? The letter awaits a performer's interpretation.
Last Monday evening, the Poetry Center of the 92d Street Y began a series of readings from a genre that up to now has been unperformed on its platform. ''Yours Sincerely: Three Evenings of Letters'' features prominent contemporary writers delivering, as it were, the letters of some of the great literary men and women of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. When Jean Strouse, the biographer of Alice James, read Lady Mary's account of the aristocratic Amazons, she chose to deliver it with a crisp blend of sympathy and amusement, a kind of lofty naughtiness.
After the briefest reflection, the notion of letters as a performing art loses any oddness it may originally have. Even if most letters have, at least originally, just a single individual as their intended audience, each in its way is a performance, an attempt to entertain, inform, apologize, seduce, dun, cajole, wheedle or insult. (Some epistolary subgenres even have their own names, like the amorous ''billet-doux'' and the smarmy ''Collins,'' an overdone, social-climbing thank-you note named for a character in ''Pride and Prejudice.'') Like the diary, the letter has always been an everyman's art. It is a form of literature flung daily into the fray of life, the instrument of commerce, emotion and misunderstanding. It made nothing but sense for those 18th-century writers inventing the novel - that most copious of life-containing literary genres - to tell their stories as series of letters: What other narrative mode could be so flexible and seem as authentic?
Each evening of letters at the Poetry Center is having its material chosen and cast by a critic. Christopher Ricks, professor of English at Boston University and author of ''The Force of Poetry,'' was in charge of last week's century, the 18th. Putting together his program was ''a bit like making an anthology,'' he said. ''You ought to have a man of letters like Johnson.'' And, indeed, he had Samuel Johnson himself, read by John Gross, who happens to be the author of ''The Rise and Fall of the Man of Letters,'' as well as a New York Times book critic. Edmund Burke, read by former Mayor John V. Lindsay, was the ''central political figure'' among Professor Rick's representative men and women; Mona Simpson and Galway Kinnell, reading from Fanny Burney and William Blake, completed the cast.
Mr. Ricks sought writer-reader combinations that were ''in their way mischievous, but not spiteful,'' keeping an eye out for ''some affinity of temperament or of conviction'' (John Simon read from Jonathan Swift) or ''a certain comedy''; Alexander Cockburn, whom Mr. Ricks (though not Mr. Cockburn himself) thinks of as a ''conservative radical,'' read from the correspondence of the fourth Earl of Orford, Horace Walpole.
The periodic prose of the 18th century lent itself to seemingly effortless displays of epistolary elegance, whether the matter to be conveyed was advice or scorn. Lord Chesterfield would become famous for the calculated social skills he attempted to pass on, in letters, to his illegitimate son: ''As I have often told you, those lesser talents, of an engaging, insinuating manner, an easy good-breeding, a genteel behavior and address, are of infinitely more advantage than they are generally thought to be, especially here in England.''
It was to Chesterfield that Johnson addressed his classic insult of Feb. 7, 1755, spurning Chesterfield's compliments on the success of Johnson's ''Dictionary'' by recalling the Earl's neglect of Johnson during the latter's years of struggle to produce it. ''Is not a Patron, my Lord, one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water, and, when he has reached ground, encumbers him with help?''
Does epistolary prose like this entitle the Age of Johnson also to be known as the great Age of the Letter? Mr. Ricks would name Keats, Byron and D. H. Lawrence as the three greatest letter-writers, so ''in that sense'' his answer would be no. But the general level of letter-writing ''by people who have no standing as writers'' - ordinary people, that is -was so high in the 18th century that it may have been the great epistolary era after all. He is most impressed by the lack of sentimentality in the letters of the 18th-century citizen, documents he finds ''free of illusions of feeling'' - as opposed to what passes for mail today: ''How awful letters have become,'' he says, with ''people boasting of their children'' and offering other such self-satisfied tidings.

Halliburton's Hidden Treuhand
Little is known of a customary European legal practice that offers corporations and individuals an opportunity to profit from assets while maintaining complete anonymity of the beneficiary's identity. This practice is referred to as "Hidden Treuhand" in the English language. The practice of Hidden Treuhand submits to legal local customs in Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg and Switzerland, but due to globalization, has moved beyond European borders via corporations and individuals, who put it to personal use.

The extraordinary true story of the rediscovery of the Mayan civilization. In the tradition of The Lost City of Z and Empire of Ice, comes the forgotten tale of 19th century American John Lloyd Stephens's quest to uncover and understand the ancient world's most advanced civilization amid the jungles of Central America. Imagine The Lost City of Z, except the fabled lost jungle civilization really was found—an "Egypt in the Americas" in which 1,500-year-old pyramids and temples were hidden in impenetrable tropical forests, along with evidence of astonishingly sophisticated art, writing, science, and culture. In 1839, when John Lloyd Stephens, a dashing U.S. special ambassador to Central America, and Frederick Catherwood, an acclaimed British architect and draftsman, set out into the unexplored jungles of the Yucatan, Charles Darwin was aboard the H.M.S. Beagle, the Bible was the basic template of history, and most people believed the world was less than 6,000 years old. Deep in the jungles, they stumbled upon the wondrous ruins of the Mayan civilization—an astonishing find that would change western understanding of human history. In Jungle of Stone, William Carlsen uncovers the rich history of the ruins as he follows Stephens and Catherwood's journey through present day Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. Drawing upon Stephens's journals and Cather's magnificent illustrations—which became the bestselling book Incidents of Travel in Yucatan—Carlsen artfully tells the enthralling story of two great voyagers and the world they discovered.Available Formats: Download, CD, MP3 CD

In this exciting adventure mixed with amazing scientific discovery, a young, exuberant explorer and geoscientist journeys deep into the Amazon—where rivers boil and legends come to life. When Andrés Ruzo was just a small boy in Peru, his grandfather told him the story of a mysterious legend: there is a river, deep in the Amazon, which boils as if a fire burns below it. It was a story that would haunt Ruzo his entire childhood. Twenty years later, Ruzo—now a geoscientist—hears his aunt mention that she herself had visited this strange river. Determined to prove the river must be merely legend, Ruzo sets out on a journey deep into the Amazon. But what he finds astounds him: in this long, wide, and winding river, the waters run so hot that locals brew tea in them; small animals that fall in are instantly cooked. Over the next few years, Ruzo returns again and again, trying to uncover the secret. As he studies alongside the locals, including a shaman that acts as his mentor, Ruzo faces challenges more complex than he had ever imagined. The tangle of competing interests—locals, illegal cattle farmers, logging and oil companies, and government interests—all have a stake in this land where the waters run so hot. The Boiling River follows this young explorer as he navigates scientific, political, and personal obstacles. This true account reads like a modern-day adventure, complete with extraordinary characters, stunning vistas, captivating plot twists, and jaw-dropping details—including stunning photographs and never-before-published research about this incredible natural wonder. Ultimately, though, The Boiling River is about a man trying to understand his moral obligation to protect a sacred site from misuse, neglect, and even from his own discovery.Available Formats: Download

Rooted in two vastly different cultures, a young man struggles to understand himself, find his place in the world, and reconnect with his mother—and her remote tribe in the deepest jungles of the Amazon rainforest—in this powerful memoir that combines adventure, history, and anthropology. "My Yanomami family called me by name. Anyopo-we. What it means, I soon learned, is 'long way around': I'd taken the long way around obstacles to be here among my people, back where I started. A twenty-year detour." For much of his young life, David Good was torn between two vastly different worlds. The son of an American anthropologist and a tribeswoman from a distant part of the Amazon, it took him twenty years to embrace his identity, reunite with the mother who left him when he was six, and claim his heritage. The Way Around is Good's amazing chronicle of self-discovery. Moving from the wilds of the Amazonian jungle to the paved confines of suburban New Jersey and back, it is the story of his parents, his American scientist-father, and his mother who could not fully adapt to the Western lifestyle. Good writes sympathetically about his mother's abandonment and the deleterious effect it had on his young self; of his rebellious teenage years marked by depression and drinking, and the near-fatal car accident that transformed him and gave him purpose to find a way back to his mother. A compelling tale of recovery and discovery, The Way Around is a poignant, fascinating exploration of what family really means, and the way that the strongest bonds endure, even across decades and worlds.Available Formats: Download, CD

When the San José mine collapsed outside of Copiapó, Chile, in August 2010, it trapped thirty-three miners beneath thousands of feet of rock for a record-breaking sixty-nine days. After the disaster, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Héctor Tobar received exclusive access to the miners and their tales, and in The 33, he brings them to haunting, visceral life. We learn what it was like to be imprisoned inside a mountain, understand the horror of being slowly consumed by hunger, and experience the awe of working in such a place—underground passages filled with danger and that often felt alive. A masterwork of narrative journalism and a stirring testament to the power of the human spirit, The 33 captures the profound ways in which the lives of the Chilean miners and everyone involved in the catastrophe were forever changed.Available Formats: Download

Something Fierce tells the story of six-year-old Carmen Aguirre and her younger sister who fled Chile with their parents for Canada and a life in exile soon after the violent coup of September 11, 1973 that removed Salvador Allende—the democratically elected socialist president of Chile—from office. In 1978 when the Chilean resistance issued a call for exiled activists to return to Latin America, Carmen's mother kept her precious girls with her. As their parents set up a safe house for resistance members in Bolivia, the girls' own double lives began. And at eighteen, Carmen herself joined the resistance. This dramatic, darkly funny book covers the eventful decade from 1979 to 1989 and takes the reader inside war-ridden Peru, dictatorship-run Bolivia, post-Malvinas Argentina and Pinochet's Chile. Writing with passion and deep personal insight, Aguirre captures her constant struggle to reconcile her commitment to the movement with the desires of her youth and her budding sexuality. Something Fierce is a gripping story of love, war, and resistance and a rare first-hand account of revolutionary life.Available Formats: Download

The exclusive, official story of the survival, faith, and family of Chile's thirty-three trapped miners When the San José mine collapsed outside of Copiapó, Chile, in August 2010, it trapped thirty-three miners beneath thousands of feet of rock for a record-breaking sixty-nine days. The entire world watched what transpired above-ground during the grueling and protracted rescue, but the saga of the miners' experiences below the earth's surface—and the lives that led them there—has never been heard until now. For Deep Down Dark, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Héctor Tobar received exclusive access to the miners and their tales. These thirty-three men came to think of the mine, a cavern inflicting constant and thundering aural torment, as a kind of coffin and as a church where they sought redemption through prayer. Even while still buried, they all agreed that, if by some miracle any of them escaped alive, they would share their story only collectively. Héctor Tobar was the person they chose to hear, and now to tell, that story. The result is a masterwork or narrative journalism—a riveting, at times shocking, emotionally textured account of a singular human event. Deep Down Dark brings to haunting, tactile life the experience of being imprisoned inside a mountain of stone, the horror of being slowly consumed by hunger, and the spiritual and mystical elements that surrounded working in such a dangerous place. In its stirring final chapters, it captures the profound way in which the lives of everyone involved in the disaster were forever changed.Available Formats: Download

Now the legendary star, ambassador, and humanitarian shares his story, experience, and his insights on the game for the very first time. Before Messi, before Ronaldo, before Beckham, there was Edson Arantes do Nascimento-known simply as Pelé. A national treasure, he created pure magic with his accomplishments on the field: an unprecedented three World Cup championships and the all-time scoring record, with 1,283 goals in his twenty-year career. Now, with the World Cup returning after more than sixty years to Brazil—the country often credited with perfecting the sport—soccer has a unique opportunity to encourage change on a global level. And as the tournament's official ambassador, Pelé is ready to be the face of progress. For the first time ever, Pelé explores the recent history of the game and provides new insights into soccer's role connecting and galvanizing players around the world. He has traveled the world as the global ambassador for soccer and in support of charitable organizations such as Unicef, promoting the positive influences soccer can have to transform young men and women, struggling communities, even entire nations. In groundbreaking detail and with unparalleled openness, he shares his most inspiring experiences, heartwarming stories and hard-won wisdom, and he puts the game in perspective. This is Pelé's legacy, his way of passing on everything he's learned and inspiring a new generation. In Why Soccer Matters, Pelé details his ambitious goals for the future of the sport and, by extension, the world.Available Formats: Download

From Mitch Weiss and Kevin Maurer, the untold story of the capture of Che Guevara, one of the most feared revolutionaries of the late twentieth century. By the mid-1960s, Guevera had become famous for his outspoken criticism of the United States and his support for armed Communist insurgencies. He had been one of the architects of the Cuban Revolution, and was attempting to repeat his success throughout Latin America. His guerrilla tactics and talent for proselytizing made him a threat to American foreign policy—and when he turned his attention to Bolivia in 1967, the Pentagon made a decision: Che had to be eliminated. Major Ralph "Pappy" Shelton was called upon to lead the mission to train the Bolivians. With a hand-picked team of specialists, his first task was to transform a ragtag group of peasants into a trained fighting force who could also gather intelligence. Gary Prado, a Bolivian officer, volunteered to join the newly formed Bolivian Rangers. Joined by Felix Rodriguez, a Cuban exile working for the CIA, the Americans and Bolivians searched for Che. The size of Che's group and when they would strike were unknowns, and the stakes were high. If Bolivia fell, it would validate Che's theories and throw South America into turmoil. Hunting Che follows the exploits of Major Shelton, Felix Rodriguez, and Gary Prado—the Bolivian Ranger commander who ultimately captured him. The story begins with Che's arrival in Bolivia and follows the hunt to the dramatic confrontation and capture of the iconic leader in the southeastern village of La Higuera. With the White House and the Pentagon secretly monitoring every move, Shelton and his team changed history, and prevented a catastrophic threat from taking root in the West.Available Formats: Download

Following in the footsteps of the greatest Spanish adventurers, Michael Wood retraces the path of the conquistadors from Amazonia to Lake Titicaca, and from the deserts of North Mexico to the heights of Machu Picchu. As he travels the same routes as Hernán Cortés, Francisco, and Gonzalo Pizarro, Wood describes the dramatic events that accompanied the epic sixteenth-century Spanish conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires. He also follows parts of Orellana's extraordinary voyage of discovery down the Amazon and of Cabeza de Vaca's arduous journey across America to the Pacific. Few stories in history match these conquests for sheer drama, endurance, and distances covered, and Wood's gripping narrative brings them fully to life. Wood reconstructs both sides of the conquest, drawing from sources such as Bernal Diaz's eyewitness account, Cortés's own letters, and the Aztec texts recorded not long after the fall of Mexico. Wood's evocative story of his own journey makes a compelling connection with the sixteenth-century world as he relates the present-day customs, rituals, and oral traditions of the people he meets. He offers powerful descriptions of the rivers, mountains, and ruins he encounters on his trip, comparing what he has seen and experienced with the historical record. As well as being one of the pivotal events in history, the Spanish conquest of the Americas was one of the most cruel and devastating. Wood grapples with the moral legacy of the European invasion and with the implications of an episode in history that swept away civilizations, religions, and ways of life. The stories in Conquistadors are not only of conquest, heroism, and greed but of changes in the way we see the world, history and civilization, justice and human rights.Available Formats: Download, CD, Digital Rental

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid—as leaders of the Wild Bunch, they planned and executed the most daring bank and train robberies of the day, with a professionalism never before seen by authorities. For several years at the end of the 1890s, the two friends, along with a revolving cast who made up their band of thieves, eluded local law enforcement and bounty hunters, all while stealing from the rich bankers and eastern railroad corporations who exploited western land. The close calls were many, but Butch and Sundance always managed to escape to rob again another day—that is, until they rode headlong into the twentieth century. Fenced-in range, telephone lines, electric lights, and new crime-fighting techniques were quickly rendering obsolete the outlaws of the wide open frontier. Knowing their time was up, Butch and Sundance, along with a mysterious beauty named Etta Place, headed to South America, vowing to leave their criminal careers behind. But riding the trails of Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia, Butch and Sundance would find that crime wasn't through with them just yet. In The Last Outlaws, Thom Hatch brings these memorable characters to life like never before: Butch, the brains of the outfit; Sundance, the man of action; and the men on both sides of the law whom they fought with and against. From their early holdup attempts to that fateful day in Bolivia, Hatch draws on a wealth of fresh research to go beyond the myth and provide a compelling new look at these legends of the Wild West.Available Formats: Download

Our 1846 war with Mexico was a blatant land grab provoked by President James Polk. And while it secured the entire Southwest and California for America, it also exacerbated regional tensions over slavery, created the first significant antiwar movement in America, and helped lead the nation into civil war. A Wicked War is the definitive history of this conflict that turned America into a continental power. Amy Greenberg describes the battles between American and Mexican armies but also delineates the political battles between Democrats and Whigs—the former led by the ruthless Polk, the latter by the charismatic Henry Clay and a young representative from Illinois named Abraham Lincoln, who initially drew national attention as a critic of the war. Greenberg brilliantly recounts this key chapter in the creation of the United States, evoking time, place, event, and personality with equal parts authority and narrative flair.Available Formats: Download

What happens when an unadventurous adventure writer tries to re-create the original expedition to Machu Picchu? In this fascinating travelogue, Mark Adams follows in the controversial footsteps of Hiram Bingham III, who's been both lionized and vilified for his discovery of the famed Lost City—but which reputation is justified? In 1911, Bingham climbed into the Andes Mountains of Peru and "discovered" Machu Picchu. History has recast Bingham as a villain who stole both priceless artifacts and credit for finding the great archeological site, but Adams set out to retrace the explorer's perilous path in search of the truth—except he'd written about adventure far more than he'd actually lived it. In fact, he'd never even slept in a tent. Turn Right at Machu Picchu is Adams' fascinating and funny account of his journey through some of the world's most majestic, historic, and remote landscapes guided only by a hard-as-nails Australian survivalist and one nagging question: Just what was Machu Picchu?Available Formats: Download

On February 13, 2003, a plane carrying three American civilian contractors—Marc Gonsalves, Keith Stansell, and Tom Howes—crash-landed in the mountainous jungle of Colombia. Dazed and shaken, they emerged from the plane bloodied and injured as gunfire rained down around them. As of that moment they were prisoners of the FARC, a Colombian terrorist and Marxist rebel organization. In an instant they had become American captives in Colombia's volatile and ongoing conflict, which has lasted for almost fifty years. In Out of Captivity, Gonsalves, Stansell, and Howes recount their amazing tale of survival, friendship, and, ultimately, rescue, tracing their five and a half years as hostages of the FARC. Their story takes you inside one of the world's most notorious terrorist organizations, going behind enemy lines with vivid and haunting imagery. Their words conjure a reality that few people have ever encountered—from sleeping on beds literally carved out of the jungle to escaping Colombian military air strikes under the cover of darkness to being bound with steel chains by their captors. Describing backbreaking starvation marches and forced isolation, the authors chronicle their confrontations and interactions with the FARC guerrilla soldiers—a motley crew of brainwashed, idealistic teenagers and seasoned veterans who've been around long enough to realize that the only way out of the FARC is in a body bag. Though the physical punishments their bodies endured were unrelenting, the psychological battles they waged were the ultimate test of their resolve. With candid detail, Gonsalves, Stansell, and Howes relate the perilous mental struggles they each experienced, as they grappled with feelings of guilt, fear, and anxiety for the families and lives they'd left behind. Exposing the transformative power of captivity, they show how they turned these fears into strengths, using their memories and their families, their pasts and their futures, to motivate them in their quest for survival. Despite the odds and the conditions, despite the chains and the silence, and despite the often tense relationships they experienced with their fellow Colombian hostages, they had one another, forging a bond that allowed them to cope with the horrific conditions of their confinement. This brotherhood enabled them to persevere through the worst that the FARC threw at them, always reminding them of their ultimate goal: freedom. A harrowing account of one of the longest civilian hostage crises in United States history, Out of Captivity is a remarkable and compelling exploration of how far three Americans were willing to go as they fought to stay alive for themselves, their families, and one another.Available Formats: Download

"Home will be the open sky... each guerrilla fighter is ready to die not just to defend an idea, but to make that idea a reality." Che Guevara remains one of the world's most iconic political and revolutionary figures. Fascinating to admirers and adversaries alike, he captured the minds of millions with his leadership and his belief in guerrilla warfare as the only effective agent to achieve political change. Here, in his own classic text on revolution, Che draws on his first-hand experience of the Cuban campaign to document all aspects of guerrilla warfare, from its aims to its organization and training. He analyses how in Cuba, against all odds, a small band of dedicated fighters grew in strength with the support of the people to defeat a dictator's army.Available Formats: Download

where else should I laze around next? (Madrid, Spain)
Finally made it to the Rastro (flea market) this past Sunday, bought some stuff, and another sun dress for me. Couldn't resist.

Major League Soccer finished its 19th season with the highest attendance in league history.
The final average crowd of 19,149 marks the first time that MLS has cracked 19,000 fans per game for an entire season. It probably won't be the last time.
This year's average is part of a trend of growth that has seen attendance steadily rise since 2009, when the average crowd was 16,037. Expansion teams have been a driving force in this growth, but the league has also seen renewed success in some of its original markets. With two new teams, larger stadiums, and growing popularity, MLS could very well be above 20,000 fans per game next year.
Here is a team-by-team attendance breakdown:
For the first time in six seasons, the Sounders failed to set an MLS attendance record. While this year's average fell just short of 2013's figure, it's still an absurd outlier, almost double the second-best attendance in the league. Seattle's crowds are the envy of everyone and a testament to successful management and marketing.
After a boisterous offseason, Toronto FC sold out their first 15 games in MLS en route to setting a franchise attendance record. Crowds had dwindled to just over 18,000 in 2013, and this year's increase was one of the largest in the league. However, after missing the playoffs yet again, TFC undoubtedly left a sour taste in their supporters' mouths. The club plans to expand BMO Field to 30,000 seats before next season, but they'll have to once again win back the trust of a weary fanbase in order to fill it.
The Galaxy had the third-best attendance in MLS this season, and yet, there's a sense that they could do more. Attendance at the StubHub Center was down by almost 1,000 compared to 2013, and more significantly from LA's Beckham-era heights. While crowds are among the largest in the league, they often appear small in a venue that holds 27,000 people. AEG has pledged $15 million in improvements to the StubHub Center, but they can't improve a location that has proven to be less than ideal.
The Timbers found room for 132 more people this year, as they continued to sell out every MLS game at Providence Park. Portland has the longest season-ticket waiting list in MLS, and even a disappointing season seems unlikely to shorten it. The compact plot of land leaves little room for expansion, but there are rumblings that the club wants to increase capacity by replacing seats with terraces for the Timbers Army.
This season has been good to the Whitecaps so far. Along with reaching the playoffs, they posted the best average attendance of their four seasons in MLS. That's a very good attendance figure, but Vancouver hasn't quite matched the constant sellouts of its Cascadia counterparts. Though capacity at BC Place is artificially reduced to 21,000, the Whitecaps failed to sell out six of this year's 17 home games. Vancouver celebrated the club's 40th anniversary this year; the original, NASL Whitecaps bettered this attendance in 1979, '80, and '81.
Real Salt Lake's 10th season was their most successful yet, at least in terms of attendance. Last year's run to the MLS Cup Final led to a spike in season-ticket sales for RSL, and they bettered 2013's average attendance by more than 1,000 fans per game. There were doubts about the market when Salt Lake City was given an expansion franchise, but strong management has proven those doubts wrong in RSL's first decade.
Empty orange seats are very conspicuous on TV broadcasts, but the Dynamo continue to announce some of the best attendances in the league. Despite missing the playoffs, Houston's average attendance was up very slightly over 2013. With Dominic Kinnear leaving, and the Dynamo possibly going to the tough Western Conference, Houston fans may have to deal with a struggling team for the first time.
The defending champions saw a slight uptick in attendance from last year's franchise high. After a decade-and-a-half spent struggling in stadiums that belonged to other sports, the move to Sporting Park has been a godsend for the Kansas City franchise. They've now sold out 53 consecutive MLS home games. Over this time, Kansas City has been a market starved of success; the resurgence of MLB's Royals might draw some eyes away from SKC in the future.
Like the Galaxy, the Red Bulls have a stadium that's a couple thousand seats too big for its own good, but the raw numbers are very respectable. Their average attendance is down just slightly from the previous year, by 40 fans per game. That's hardly cause for concern, but it remains to be seen how the birth of New York City FC will affect fortunes across the river. With growing questions about the ownership, the next couple years may prove pivotal for one of the league's original franchises.
The Union came close to their first trophy in this, their fifth season, but the year ended in disappointing fashion. Frustration with the front office has been building, and may have contributed to the smallest average attendance in Philadelphia's five-year history. The Union fare better than most other teams who play in suburban stadiums, but they need to start rewarding those fans with success on the field.
The Impact had the largest attendance drop in the league from 2013, which is perhaps to be expected given the drop in their performances. After making the playoffs last year, Montreal finished this season with the worst record in MLS. The novelty has worn off, and the Impact need to use this offseason to improve the on-field product.
That final average is skewed significantly higher thanks to a doubleheader played at FedEx Field. Spain and El Salvador drew 53,267 for a pre-World Cup friendly, and many of those fans left before a 0-0 draw against Columbus. But even without that outlier, improved performance brought more fans out to RFK Stadium. As it became clear that DC could contend in the Eastern conference, their final four home games all drew more than 19,000 fans. The resurgence is well timed for United, as they push the city to replace RFK with a soccer-specific stadium.
The Crew improved on last year's attendance and posted their highest average crowd since 2002. As with a couple other teams, the Crew have seen steady increases in attendance over each of the past few years. With a playoff birth and a nice new crest, there's no reason to think that this growth won't continue next year.
This isn't a particularly impressive figure for MLS in 2014, but it is a franchise record for Dallas, shattering the previous high set in their inaugural season of 1996. The club moved to suburban Toyota Stadium in 2005, and it seems they've finally figured out how to get fans out to Frisco. Attendance has increased by at least 8% every year since 2010, and this year's playoff berth could lead to further growth.
The high-profile signing of Jermaine Jones certainly contributed to the largest average attendance in New England since 2008. But he can't take all the credit. Attendance was up before Jones arrived, and, as in Dallas, has been increasing since 2010. Gillette Stadium remains a poor home for the Revs, but their fans have shown a willingness to make the trek to Foxboro for a well-run, competitive team.
This year's average is an improvement on last year, but it's about par for the course for the Fire since they moved to Toyota Park in 2006. The Fire were once one of the league's most successful teams, on and off the field, but it seems they've been stagnant while MLS as a whole has improved. Chicago has no shortage of soccer fans, but poor performances and a poorly-located stadium have largely kept them from fully embracing the Fire.
The Rapids are another original team with a suburban stadium, and they haven't yet made it work. They've averaged more than 15,000 fans in each of the last three seasons, but that is a very low bar in today's MLS. The team finished the season with just two points from their final 14 games, but the smallest crowds were at the start of the year, as Colorado took its time thawing out from winter.
The Earthquakes will finally leave the tiny confines of Buck Shaw Stadium next year, and they've already sold 8,000 season tickets for their new home in 2015. Buck Shaw holds just 10,525, but games at Stanford Stadium and Levi's Stadium allowed San Jose to post their best average since 1999, when they played at Spartan Stadium. They plan to continue hosting select games at those venues in the future, and they should have no problem setting a club record for attendance in their new stadium.
If this is the end for Chivas USA, it will be an addition by subtraction for MLS's attendance. Without Chivas dragging the league average down, MLS would have averaged 19,820 fans per game instead. Chivas' average was a record low, not just for the club but for the league as a whole. Their attendance struggles are perhaps the biggest reason why the league is looking for a fresh start in Los Angeles.
When it comes to attendance, Major League Soccer teams can be lumped broadly into two groups: those playing in downtown stadiums, and those that aren't. In general, the teams with downtown stadiums are near the top of this list, while clubs playing in the suburbs have struggled to reach their potential.
The urban/suburban divide is reflected by the league's expansion plans. Orlando and Atlanta are building downtown stadiums, and NYCFC is committed to playing in the five boroughs. The future of clubs in Miami and Los Angeles appears contingent on finding well located homes.
The new era that MLS has been selling in recent months has as much to do with packed urban stadiums as the improved product on the field.

Response to Which Photo Did Instagram Remove?:
https://help.instagram.com - look up community guidelines. From what I can gather, they review all of the images they take down yet their language suggests they are inclusive and wouldn't, say, remove fat girls in bikinis but clearly they do. Clearly, they are allowing their community moderators to make decisions about nudity/indecency and that includes their personal preferences and that is really frustrating.

From the looks of it though, it seems like it will be pretty easy for users to score their complimentary panties as we can't imagine Fruit of the Loom will thoroughly investigate the validity of your new employment. So, whether you're truly making strides in your career or you simply choose to change your job status on LinkedIn, Fruit of the Loom has your ass covered.

WELCOME. Karl Hans Albrecht, a German entrepreneur once said, "The typical human life seems to be quite unplanned, undirected, unlived, and unsavored. Only those who consciously think about the adventure of living as a matter of making choices among options, which they have found for themselves, ever establish real self-control and live their lives fully."
I realized that there is truth to that statement. I realized that the type of life we live is a choice of either actively pursuing options and creating our own circumstances or blocking opportunities and limiting our beliefs of what is possible. I realized that the choices we make everyday can be an adventure.
So this is the story of my choices and my adventures of living. I'm just a guy who is striving to follow his dreams and to live life to the fullest and hopefully do some good along the way.

CLOVIS, Calif. — The San Joaquin Valley in central California has some of the worst air pollution in the country. Clovis Unified School District, which serves a 200-square-mile area, sits amid this squalid air. The district operates 80 buses and transports more than 5,000 children daily.
With a $287,000 grant from the EPA Clean School Bus USA program, the district retrofitted 50 buses with either diesel oxidation catalysts, diesel particulate filters (DPFs) or inline oxidation catalysts and began using an emulsified fuel called PuriNox that is 79 percent diesel, 20 percent water and 1 percent additive. In addition, a few of the buses are using ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.
After the first year of the demonstration project, Joe Bjerke, Clovis' transportation director, says the results have been good.
Bjerke says he was able to outfit 50 buses ranging in age from 5 to 20 years with emissions-reduction hardware. Five of the newer buses in the fleet were retrofitted with DPFs and began using ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. The district also operates 21 compressed natural gas buses.
In some cases, the emissions-control devices, manufactured by Engine Control Systems, a division of Lubrizol Corp., had to be modified to work with the mix of buses in the Clovis fleet. "They had to send their engineers a time or two," Bjerke says. But the modifications were successful, and he's happy with the results.
The buses that operate on PuriNox have seen a 12 percent overall reduction in fuel economy, however. And the buses with DPFs need to have the filter element removed and cleaned every 6,000 miles, because the engines don't generate enough heat to regenerate the filter. But Bjerke says the additional effort is worth the dividends in cleaner air.
"This has been a very positive experience for us," Bjerke says. "Our district is always looking for ways to improve air quality. We've gotten positive feedback from members of the community. They ask how we were able to get rid of the smoke from the tailpipes.

If you want something to do this Saturday the 17th where you can bring the furkids, Charles Maund Toyota is having an Animal Rescue Meet and Greet from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. PAWS of Austin will be there along with several other rescue groups helping to educate the public on the merits of rescuing animals. Stop by and say hi to Prima and Courtney and bring the pups too. Charles Maund Toyota is located at 8400 Research Blvd just north of Lamar.
Then you can head on down to Woof Gang Bakery located at 1204 N. Lamar for a St. Patrick's Day Pawty. There will be Irish-themed dog treats and refreshments for customers. Woof Gang Bakery also offers our meetup group at 15% discount on merchandise, so if you buy anything, be sure and mention you are a member of the Austin Area Great Dane Meetup Group to get the discount.
A reminder about the Wagathon Walkathon on Sunday at the Hill Country Galleria. While 12 members have signed up, it would be great to see a lot more danes out there.
And the biggest reminder of all is for the Potluck Meetup at our home on April 1st. Remember, you must RSVP so we can have an accurate head count and be sure and list your potluck dish in the comments. I forgot to mention in my previous email that we do have a pool. It's not heated and may be a little cool, but you are welcome to bring a swimsuit and take a dip.
Enjoy the weekend, take the furkids out on Saturday and hope to see more of you at the Walkathon on Sunday!

Ratings for Dr. Karl-Andre Lalonde
Dr. Lalonde has repaired by broken tibia and I am fully satisfied of his professonal services. I would recommand him to all people with the same injury. He is the best.
Very personable. I felt comfortable asking questions and he was very professional and fulsome in his response.
I was very lucky to have Dr. Lalonde do surgery to repair my broken tibia about 1 year ago. I'll be seeing him again soon to get all of the hardware taken out. I'm confident that my leg will be almost as good as new!
I wouldn't allow another Orthopedic surgeon touch my foot. He is the best of the best.
I recived great care from this skilled surgeon. Highly recommended.
To the person who had their feet done by this doctor...what kind of foot surgery did you have done and are you happy with the results...
I saw him as a result of a collar bone fracture. He seems knowledgable and answered any questions I had. I received a 4-week followup booking which I was not very happy with, but in the end it was likely for the best as the bone only felt like it was setting closer to that date. The receptionists are quite grumpy and curt and will do very little for you.
A genius and perfectionist. I would recommend Dr. Lalonde to anybody.
Dr. Lalonde has performed major reconstructive surgery on one foot (so far). I have had MANY years of experience dealing with specialists, as I have a lot of health issues. Dr. Lalonde is about the best I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with! He is polite, kind, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour which helps when dealing with serious health issues. He explained everything in detail, including why he chose the procedures and why he felt there were no other options other than the rather drastic ones chosen. His follow-up has been exceptional and I actually look forward to him "fixing" the other foot, which he says he will do as soon as possible after I recover from this surgery. There really are no words to express how impressed I am with him and his staff including, especially, his secretary! Victoria is patient and easy to deal with which is another rarity among those in her position. KUDOS TO ALL! :^)
Kind, courteous and extremely helpful. Dr. Lalonde repaired a ruptured tendon that another doctor thought had healed correctly. His staff is also very friendly and they sincerely care about their patients.

I saw a family of milk the other day. They were ran over by a car, only one little milk carton stayed alive. After running aimlessly around it stopped by the dead plastic of his mother, I wanted to take and raise it, but a child came, snapped its neck and drank its blood.
Saddest day of my life.
