Crumley remembered as straight talker; Bethel board member honored as politician, stock car driver
June 5, 2012 —
The Mongaup Valley United Methodist Church overflowed with friends and relatives on June 1. They came to remember Richard Crumley, who passed away on May 27. Crumley had been the Town of Bethel Highway Superintendent, a town councilman, a noted stock car driver and the owner of Seven X Motors.
A theme that ran throughout remarks that were given was that Crumley was a "straight talker." As his daughter Cathleen Crumley-Doherty said, as in the Frank Sinatra song, Crumley "did it his way," and "you always knew where you stood with him."
His son-in-law, Robert Doherty, called Crumley one of the most successful men he had ever known. He said, "You try putting your name on a ballot and run a used-car dealership at the same time." Crumley won those elections.
Many of the speakers remarked on Crumley's time in town politics, and that brought a lot of laughter. Alan Scott, a former supervisor of Bethel, said in the 1980s, when Crumley was the highway superintendent, some neighbors complained about the number of cars Crumley kept on his property.
Scott said, "He owned three separate parcels of property and, according to the code of the Town of Bethel, you were entitled to two unlicensed vehicles on each piece of property. Crumley reduced the number of cars on the property to six, and he decided they would look better if he turned two of the cars upside down. And then he sent the kids outside to paint them, the most atrocious colors possible."
Dan Sturm, the current town supervisor, had sat next to Crumley on the town board since 2002. Sturm said, "A lot of times my hardest job was keeping a straight business-like face while Crumley spoke and made comments that no one else could hear. I learned early the way to get his support was to make sure the meeting was over by 9 p.m.; Dick got hungry by then."
Jonathan Hyman, a land-use consultant who had become close to Crumley while dealing with town issues over the past seven years, said Crumley was well aware that sometimes he would make comments that might raise eyebrows. He said, "After a while, even at public meetings—and I always sit in the back—Dick would just wink at me from all the way across the room, and then I would know that the show was on. And when he put on a show, it was a pretty good show."
Richard Crumley was 69 years old.

The Manor of the World Today (so little changes)
So many gay swordes,
So many altered wordes,
And so few covered bordes.
------Sawe I never:
So many empty purses,
So few good horses,
And so many curses,
------ Sawe I never:
Such bosters and braggers,
So newe fashioned daggers,
And so many beggers,
------ Sawe I never:
So many propre knyves,
So well apparelled wyves,
And so yll of theyr lyves,
------ Saw I never:
So many laws to use
The truth to refuse,
Suche falshead to excuse,
------ Sawe I never:
Executers havinge the ware,
Taking so little care
Howe the soul doth fare,
------ Sawe I never.

I like Skelton, especially his Philip Sparrow, which, unfortunately, I haven't read in years. He can be a bit macaronic at times which is the reason I like him. And, he didn't care a fig about spelling. An altogether better time in English letters._________________________

I have this little Skelton-book; one of my first pocketmoney
purchases when I was about fifteen. The thread about the prefixes made me remember it.
Then I saw how little the complaints about " the manner of the world nowadays " have ever changed. And how nice is the writing.
After copying some couplets of that long poem I found the site on the web.

It meaneth "rugs".
Listen to the rhythm of the sense of the stanzas.
Then consider that "bordes" were "boards" during John Skeltons time.
By-the-by, I think that BranShea's version is generously adapted from the words that John Skelton originally wrote.

" Note.- The text of the poems is taken from Dyce's edition and has been left unchanged exept for some minor spelling alterations in which some letters such as j.u,and v, have been adapted to present day use. I am grateful to Miss Joan Pye for her great help in this book."
"Present day"was 1949 when this booklet was Edited by a Roland Gant in London =, but Printed and bound by Mouton and Company in Holland (of all places) The hague. They are fragments of longer and some short poems. Only 64 pages thick.
What meaneth covered 'rugs'? Bye-the-Bye Bye?

I wondered about boards as well, but if things are opulent and over-the-top, wouldn't there be more rugs?
the floor would be covered (or not) with rugs, Bran._________________________

Ok...so I believe my 5 month old is on a day time nursing strike. The last three days have been torture. She becomes very hungry but will not nurse, she has always refused a bottle, and I have even tried suringe feeding but she shakes her head rapidly and promptly spits the milk out. The only way I have to feed her is by nursing. The last three days have been a constant struggle. She will start by arching her back and crying when I try to nurse...we will stand up and bounce, soothe etc...then try again, same thing. It gets to the point where she is so hungry that I cannot soothe her anymore. Yesterday she cried so hard that she started gagging and dry heaving until she threw up some stomach bile (nothing else in her stomach). At this point we have hit the problem of her being incredibly tired as well, but she will only fall asleep while nursing! I finally had to call my mom to come over and help me, and she fell asleep on her shoulder almost immediately. It is like she gets frustrated with me because she knows I have the food, but she can't get to it for some reason.
The only good thing is that she will nurse when she is sleepy. She is an awesome nurser during the night. She also does well if I can get her to fall asleep for someone else (DH or my mom) and then I will take her into the bedroom and nurse her while she is practically sleeping. Well...any suggestions? I have a sleep deprived, extremely fussy baby that will not eat on my hands. I love her so much and I will do whatever it takes to help her get to nursing and being happy again!

Mikelis Veisbergs (Weissberg) and Line Brugis (Brugge) were married in 1883 at Rezekne Lutheran church. Since they were married in December 1882, it could be assumed that at that time they were in their early 20's, so they were probably born around 1860-1865.
Unfortunately for me, there are no Lutheran church records for Rezekne past 1870. Whether or not this is due to the church books being destroyed or damaged, there not being Lutheran church in the predominantly Orthodox city of Rezekne at the time (I don't know if there was or not), I don't know. Perhaps there is some smaller parish church that they attended prior to Rezekne's Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran church being built.
Veisbergs is latvianized from German "Weissberg" – White hills or mountains. I have scanned all available Rezekne Lutheran church books and not found another Weissberg. Brugis however, are plentiful, suggesting that they were probably well-established in Rezekne and had been there for multiple generations. Perhaps some of the Brugis clan may have belonged to a different church, and a clue could be found there. Until I know where to look, this couple is a roadblock!

ExcellentI love these little soaps. They are really cute. Now they aren't huge but they are a good size, though. It might be a good idea to put several in a larger gift item just to make it look more appealing and fill it up more. At .99 cents for nine, they definitely don't break the bank. And they smell great. Overall a great value!

Flavia Coelho – vocal and guitar
Paul-Alex Chonville – drums
Sebastian Lunghi – guitar
Victor Vagh – keys
After a storming headline performance at WOMAD this summer, which saw 15,000 dancing to her infectious fusion of samba, bossa-nova, and Brazilian melodies, with bit of hip hop and reggae thrown in too, we can confirm that she will be injecting a little bit of Brazilian sunshine into autumn with two intimate shows at Ronnie's this November.
Flavia Coelho is a wonderful young Brazilian singer, who draws on the traditions of samba, bossa-nova, and Brazilian melodies; chanelling the high-octane adventurous spirit of world music legend Manu Chao, she and her red-hot band work in ragga and hip-hop to create a stylish yet mischievous mix that takes the new Brazil to the world. Her recent album Bossa Muffin has made a strong impact, an uplifting fusion of styles delivered with style and a liberating, effortlessly free-wheeling confidence.
'One of the most joyful, easygoing fusion sets of the year... a rhythmic clash of Brazilian and Caribbean styles... slinky melodies and bursts of rapid-fire hip-hop' **** (The Guardian)
Flavia Coelho is a young Brazilian singer, who's made a huge impact across Europe with her new album Bossa Muffin. As the title suggests, she draws on the traditions of the samba and the bossa nova and the melodies of the forro from north-eastern Brazil, but she and her red-hot band work in ragga and hip-hop to create a stylish yet mischievous mix that takes the new Brazil to the world.
"Flavia Coelho has created one of the most joyful, easygoing fusion sets of the year"
Robin Denselow, The Guardian
"A traveller's diary". These are the words used by Flavia Coelho, Rio de Janeiro's very own, born on the wind who came to Paris in 2006, to describe her first album. The image sticks to her album, springy and true to her joyful tumultuous life, ready to take on the world and experience the beautiful encounters that came her way. Entitled Bossa Muffin, also the name for her second single (following the acclaimed "Sunshine"), it hits like a declaration of independence or a manifesto, albeit, one stripped of its dogmas and rules, a spontaneous musical movement, a virtuous celebration of cultural blending, globalisation with a human side to it.
What is Bossa Muffin? A unique mix of samba and bossa nova harmonic treasures, the hypnotic rhythm of the popular Nordestine music (forro, pagode…), the bouncing loops of reggae, the skilful braggadocio of ragamuffin, the essential pulses of African music, or even a glimpse of Catalan rumba…all of the above, seasoned with the voice of Flavia Coelho, no added effects or conceit – just a soft voice, a proud and fragile twang, appealing and warm, her colloquial voice, deep and natural. Erasing the boundaries between genre, between the tradition and the contemporary, Bossa Muffin, is however not a synthetic product created artificially in a laboratory, but rather a flavoursome fruit perfectly matured with unique
experience and personality.
The soft guitar arpeggios and flute notes, on "Agnès", recall the life of a busker, the highs and lows, intimate deceptions, which sum up Flavia Coelho's story : a soul captured by the
music and singing. From the age of 14, she practiced her art on stage, travelling from one city to another, experiencing how diverse and rich Brazilian music was. Landing in Paris, which she sings about in the sparkling "De Paris à Rio", marked a stepping stone in her career. It was here that Flavia met Bika Bika Pierre, a musician from Cameroon, who "opened the path to African music" for her, encouraging her to take up the guitar and work with fellow musician and producer Victor Vagh.
With her two accomplices, joined by a group of musicians from various horizons, Flavia managed to craft a finely assorted sound; Bossa Muffin, highlights the variety of her vocal talent. The tender touch of "A Foto" or "Decide" to the more explosive "Canta Coming, Liberdade" or "O Que Sou", and impish sally of "Amor e Futebol," to the deliciously swinging "Bossa Bika Nova", shows Flavia, hovering over the musical genres she likes with uncanny ease.
The song Bossa Muffin, tells the story of a man who travels the world in order to find out more about himself. To find out who he is. The voyage as a necessary and illuminating
quest: how better to sum up such a musical wealth inside a debut album, which blows more than a slight hope, but rather has the feel of an accomplishment.
"there's something quirky and mischievous about Flavia Coelho's voice… fresh, brassy and irreverent"
Simon Broughton, Evening Standard (on album Bossa Muffin)
"Coelho has an effortless, relaxed style that almost disguises her skill at easing between the slinky melodies and bursts of rapid-fire hip-hop"
Robin Denselow, The Guardian (on album Bossa Muffin)
"Easy-on-the-ear take on cultural fusion"
Songlines (on album Bossa Muffin)

February 17, 2011 —
February 17 - Just before the white stuff begins to thaw, with Valentine's Day nipping at my nose, I seek refuge from the blustery winds by celebrating a few of the things that make my blood run cold—snow, ice and love everlasting...
Admittedly a bit depressed over the severe temperatures and missing the elusive sting of Cupid's arrow, I was determined, over the weekend, to overcome my ennui and search the countryside for respite from the bitter winds. What better way, then, to spend time outdoors, bundled up and feeling sorry for myself!
Intrigued by the announcement that the Riverview Inn
(riverviewinninc.com) overlooking the Delaware on 42 glorious acres in Matamoras, PA would be hosting their first annual Winterfest, I struck out with a pal, in lieu of a date, confident that I would find true love sometime after the ice age.
The announcement promised "vendors, exhibits, a cooking contest, art show, music, magic & more," so hopes were high as we pulled into the lot. As usual, weather is key when it comes to anything outside, and frigid temperatures are necessary to support bobsled rides and ice fishing, so it should have come as no surprise that I was cold, so darn cold!
We perused the snowman competition, snapped a few pics of kids frolicking, and searched (in vain) for hot chocolate, which became my mantra as the weekend progressed. I love observing the joy on kids' frozen faces, but (as Bette Midler would say) "From a Distance."
Too chilled to really let loose and enjoy myself, I gave in and hit the road. Checking my schedule, I realized that Jack Frost was having a laugh at my expense, since the next stop was more ice. As it turned out, there was quite a turnout for yet another Winterfest (which raises the question: what is so festive about winter?), in the charming town of Wurtsboro, NY, which the website (wurtsboro.org) promised would be replete with "Vendors, exhibits, a cooking contest, art & more."
With no hot chocolate in sight, I sighed and traipsed around town, cheery pal in tow, while bemoaning my lack of true love, making a mental note that (IMHO) romance eludes those who constantly have cold feet. I couldn't help but notice that the theme for the ice carving contest was (arrgh) love. Seeing no way around it, I succumbed and found myself entranced by the amazing sculptures that were in abundance along Main Street.
Overhearing the judging committee discuss a mystery in their midst, my heart swelled as they debated over who might be responsible for the surprising sculpture discovered in front of one of the shops (consignium.com). From what I could glean, someone had shown up in the wee hours to carve a block of ice that had been overlooked, with no hint of the artist's identity. This "secret admirer" reminded me that true love can appear in many forms and I was (momentarily) warmed by the thought.
My third stop on the (now frozen) list was the Sullivan County Museum (sul livancountyhistory.org) on Main Street (catchy name!) in Hurleyville, NY. Hurleyville is the winter (there's that word again) home of the Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop (scdw.net), whose members were presenting a cabaret show devoted to (yep) love and all things Valentine, clearly designed (in my egocentric world) to get my goat.
The SCDW is currently accepting donations to complete the restoration of its once glittering marquee, and a nice crowd braved the cold to contribute and show their support.
Welcoming the audience, SCDW president Sally Gladden thanked all for attending, saying, "Only with this opportunity from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, coupled with support of contributors, are we able to restore this jewel to its original splendor."
Acknowledging that I was in the audience to show my support, I endured the "tribute to love" without complaining about showing up stag. Songs like "Stardust Melody," "I Got Rhythm" and "Tonight You're Mine" filled the air, but the numbers that resonated with me were (oddly enough) "Cry Me a River," "When Will I Be Loved" and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again." Every tax-deductible donation makes a difference, assisting in lighting the way to a brighter tomorrow, even on the sidewalks of South Fallsburg, so I will continue to champion the cause.
As the old saying goes: "Hope Springs Eternal." With spring just around the corner, I will keep the sarcasm down to a dull roar and overlook the daze of whine and roses... this time. No telling what frigid, mind-numbing, loveless adventures await. Cupid, I dare you: draw back your bow.

by Commissioner Steve Novick-- The novelist William Faulkner once wrote: "The past is never over. It's not even past." He could have been writing about Oregon's goofy, inequitable property tax system, which is governed by two ballot initiatives, Measure 5 passed in 1990 and Measure 47 passed in 1996. Since about 44 percent of Portland's General Fund (which pays for police, fire, parks, services for the homeless, and other vital services) comes from property taxes, the property tax system has a big impact on the City and the services it provides. Recently, I have gotten involved in discussions about whether and how to change the existing system, so I thought I'd take some space on my website to explain the basics as best I can.
Measure 5, passed in 1990, says that the tax on any piece of property cannot be more than $5 for every $1000 of the property's real market value for schools, and $10 for every $1000 of the property's real market value for all other local governments, such as cities and counties. If a piece of property is paying at least $10 for every $1000 in real market value for local governments and $5 for schools, the property is referred to as being "in compression." That means that even if a majority of voters in a district -- even including the owner of that property - vote to raise taxes for a specific purpose (like libraries, schools, or parks), the tax on that property cannot go up. So when there is such a vote, it raises taxes for some people but not others; it raises taxes for the people who are "not in compression," but not for the people who are "in compression."
But wait, you might ask, why isn't everyone either "in compression" or "not in compression" together? Why isn't everyone paying the same property tax rate per thousand dollars of real market value?
The answer lies in Measure 47, passed in 1996 (and slightly modified by Measure 50, a legislative referral passed by voters in 1997). Measure 47/50 said that the assessed value, for tax purposes, of a given piece of property cannot increase by more than 3% a year from its 1995 assessment, no matter how much the actual value of the property is going up. In Portland, property values in some recently gentrified areas, especially in North and Northeast Portland, have skyrocketed, far more than 3% a year on average since 1995. That means that property owners in those areas are paying very low tax rates - far lower than $10 per thousand real market value for cities and counties and $5 for schools. Meanwhile, property values in outer Southeast Portland, for example, generally have not gone up very much, so many property owners in that area are paying the maximum -- they are "in compression." In some cases, the differences are startling: you can literally have one property owner in the outer East Side paying $3,000 in taxes on a house that is actually worth $200,000, and someone in inner Northeast paying $600 in taxes on a house worth $300,000.
There is also a big difference in the tax rates that Multnomah County commercial property owners pay, compared to homeowners. Commercial property values, on average, have gone up faster than residential values since 1995. But their assessed values are tied to that 1995 assessment. According to the Multnomah County assessor, the average commercial property in the County is assessed at about 54% of real market value, and the average home is assessed at 74% of real market value. That means commercial owners are paying a much lower rate than homeowners.
Recently, the League Oregon of Cities proposed that the Legislature should ask Oregon voters to pass a change to Measure 5 that would say that voter-approved 'local option' taxes could be collected, in full, from property owners already 'in compression'; that if, for example, voters in a district voted to raise taxes for schools by $1 per thousand of assessed value, everyone should pay that amount, even if some of them are already paying the Measure 5 limit of $5 per thousand for schools. The Oregonian Editorial Board endorsed that idea, partly based on the argument that the current system is unfair because someone who is 'in compression' can vote for a tax increase without it affecting them; they can vote to raise other people's taxes but not their own.
I responded to the League and the Oregonian Editorial Board with the argument that if you allow local options to apply to people already paying the Measure 5 limit, and you continue to base tax rates on the goofy Measure 47 / 50 assessed value, you will make our existing inequities worse. If you have a $1 per thousand local option tax applied to assessed value, and you have two properties both actually worth $300,000, but one is assessed at $300,000 (and would be 'in compression' if not for the League's proposed change) and another is assessed at $60,000, the first property will pay $300 and the second will pay $60. I argued that if we're going to allow local options to be collected outside the Measure 5 limits, at least the tax rate should apply to real market value, not the goofy Measure 47 / 50 assessed value. That way everyone with the same property value would pay the same amount. The Oregonian Editorial Board has since said they think that idea is worth considering and the League is pondering it.
Making that change to 'local options' wouldn't eliminate the inequities in the taxes people pay through the 'permanent rates' for cities, counties, schools and local governments, which would still apply to assessed value. The League has another proposal, which I support, that would re-assess properties at their real market value when the property is sold - a concept called "reset at sale." Over time, that would reduce, although not eliminate, the geographic inequities caused by Measure 47 / 50.
We could ask the voters to simply eliminate Measure 47 / 50 and say that all property taxes should be based on real market value, effective immediately. One problem with that is that to some extent, the real estate market has probably adjusted the sales prices of houses to reflect the differing property taxes in each neighborhood; people in recently gentrified areas paid a premium for their low taxes, and it would be quite a shock to have their taxes suddenly go up by 500 percent (or whatever). I would like to see the relationship between assessed value and real market value restored, but I would be careful about doing it overnight. The League's "reset on sale" proposal, while not a cure-all, would move toward restoring that relationship without sudden huge increases in anyone's taxes. (I don't think the 'market adjustment' hypothesis is a good argument against my proposed change to local options, because the market could not anticipate all future local option taxes; there's no way they were baked into the sales price.)

The Male Opinion1 of 14
By Jeff Kahn, co-author of You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up: A Love Story
Between 1987 and 1995, I set several North American dating records. In 1989: Most first dates by a man under 5-foot-7. From 1987 to 1994: Most dates with the same girl without once kissing. From Feb. 12–15, 1991: Most dates in a four-day non-religious holiday weekend. So, even though I've been married for almost 15 years, I still might know a thing or two about dating. Here are my tips for the ladies out there.
In Your 20s2 of 14
Your 20s are like one giant decade of living life at a singles bar. Each man you meet could be the one, but know that not every date is going to be spectacular—and not every date has to end with him proposing. So enjoy these years, and try not to worry too much about the future.
Go Easy On The Eyes3 of 14
Too much makeup on a gal is as distracting as when a guy works too hard on his facial hair. You're in your 20s and your skin is in full bloom, so don't hide it—let it shine!
Laugh A Little4 of 14
Humor helps breaks the tension and relaxes the mood. For instance, don't go to see a super serious chick flick if you're not willing to make fun of it. Believe me, if you do, then your date will love you for it.
In Your 30s5 of 14
Here they are, the 30s: The big wake-up call from the perpetual hangover that was your wild 20s. At this age, dating may start to seem like a farming chore instead of a thrill-a-minute rollercoaster ride, but it's still the best way to get to know someone.
Don't Panic6 of 14
OK, so you're not already married with kids. You still have time. This is not 1923, and the world no longer sees unmarried women as spinsters.
Keep A Little Mystery7 of 14
Don't tell your date your life history over the course of one meal. You don't want to overwhelm. You wouldn't show up for the date naked, would you? Part of the fun is slow reveal.
Beware The Sweet Talk8 of 14
Guys may step up the romantic repartee and start making a lot of promises, but ladies, never lose sight of the fact that we're still trying to get into your pants.
In Your 40s9 of 14
Hey, you may not be as romantic and optimistic as you once were, but your 40s are a perfectly fine age to fall in love. So get out there and date—this could be your best decade yet.
Date Young10 of 14
That's right, I'm down with the whole "Cougar" thing. You look awesome so why not date a dude in his 20s? Give those youngins a taste of your experience. (Trust me, they can use it.)
Go Dutch11 of 14
When you're first dating a guy, split the bill or alternate who picks up the checks. This shows your integrity and that you're self-sufficient. To me, that's a turn-on.
In Your 50s and Beyond12 of 14
No matter how old we get, we still have emotional needs, and one of those needs is the same as it was in our 20s: to meet someone special and fall in love. Don't give up on love: It's a very renewing, life-affirming human attribute no matter how old you get.
Dress Up13 of 14
Look good, and dress your age—that means no hot pants or super tight minis (well-fitting ones are fine).
Keep Your Perspective14 of 14
Make your date laugh by poking fun at the young couple at the next table, because you both know that they're clueless about love, life and what it takes to survive and still be happily dating past your 40s.

Once the fifth largest city in North America, today Charleston is a beautiful metropolis with a thriving economy, gracious residents and amazing sightseeing attractions. If you are looking for Charleston hotels, Extended Stay America has several great places to stay, each offering comfortable accommodations and exceptional rates.
Named America's "best-mannered city" by etiquette expert Marjabelle Young Stewart in 1995, Charleston is a very friendly place to visit. It is also called the Holy City due to its long history of religious tolerance, having welcomed dissenters of numerous faiths. Today Charleston is home to Brith Sholom Beth Israel, the oldest Orthodox synagogue in the South.
Many of Charleston's most recognizable tourist attractions stem from its role in American history. One of the most significant historical buildings in Charleston, the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon, built in the 1770s, returns visitors to the era of colonial South Carolina.
Perhaps the most well known historic site in Charleston is Fort Sumter, the island fortress near the opening of Charleston Harbor. After all, it was toward Fort Sumter that the first shot of the Civil War was fired. That shot came from nearby Fort Moultrie, located on the shoreline facing Fort Sumter. Both forts have been returned to their Civil War era condition and are well worth visiting.
Should you decide to board the ferry to Fort Sumter at the Patriot's Point Naval & Maritime Museum, be sure you allow time to take in all the other interesting sites here. Patriot's Point is home to the USS Yorktown, an aircraft carrier that served valiantly in the Pacific during World War II. Also on display and available for tours are the destroyer USS Laffey, the submarine USS Clamagore as well as other ships, period airplanes and memorabilia.
Having stepped back in history, take a minute to look north from Patriot's Point and view the modern beauty of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. Opened in 2005, this is the longest cable-stay bridge in North America.
Less well-known, but still very interesting, is the Civil War vintage submarine CSS HL Hunley. In 1864, nine Confederate soldiers manually operated the Hunley and sunk the Union ship Housatonic in Charleston Harbor.
Charleston offers tourists much more than Civil War history. Situated on Charleston Harbor, the South Carolina Aquarium takes visitors through natural habitats of the Carolinas and around the world. This aquarium has much to see, including marvelous exhibits on wildlife from local mountains, salt marsh birds and a lot more.
If you would rather see nature on its own terms, visit Cypress Gardens Park. Here you can walk along 3.5 miles of nature trail, visit the Butterfly House where you stroll among 12 species of butterfly or visit the "Swamparium," where you get up close to a variety of swamp creatures. Thrill seekers can take a swamp boat ride through amazing vegetation and interesting wildlife.
Charleston has been dubbed by some "the cradle of southern history and charm." What better way to experience this city than from a horse drawn coach? Carriage tours are an elegant, enjoyable way to see this southern gem. If walking is more your style, Charleston has many fine walking tours that are sure to show you the history and charm of this beautiful old city.
Charleston's moderate climate means fabulous outdoor recreation. Be sure you set aside time for the local beaches. Pack your sunshade, a towel and a book, and you are in for a relaxing day by the ocean. If you prefer a bit more excitement, head to Isle of Palms and Tidal Wave Water Sports for parasailing, WaveRunner rentals and a host of water recreation activities.
Not into water sports? Charleston offers great baseball courtesy of the Riverdogs, an affiliate organization for the New York Yankees. If baseball isn't your sport, how about professional soccer? This fast-paced sport is gaining popularity throughout the U.S., and the Charleston Battery is a fun way to see the sport at its best.
The entire Mid-Atlantic area is well-known for exceptional golfing. For a taste of golf at its best in South Carolina, check out Shadowmoss Plantation Golf Club. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned golfer, there are plenty of great golf courses in the Charleston area.

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
In 1925 Roald Amundsen attempted to fly to the North Pole with five others in two aircrafts, the N24 and the N25. They started from Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, on 21 May 1925 and flew side by side to 87°43' N, where they landed on leads in the drift ice after more than eight hours in the air. N24 had been damaged on take-off and it was now obvious that the plane could not be flown again. The six men struggled for 3½ weeks to create a take-off strip on the drift ice. On 15 June Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen managed to get N25 into the air with all six men on board. They landed off the north coast of Svalbard and were able to hitch a ride back to Ny-Ålesund with a small ship which was in the area by chance. There were huge celebrations when the men returned to the capital.
Roald Amundsen gained early on an interest in flying. He was greatly interested in the very first flights with motorised aircraft that the Wright brothers carried out in the first years of the 1900s, and Louis Blériot's flight in 1909 over the English Channel. All this inspired Amundsen to write that "And now – suddenly all in one go – it will all maybe be changed. Cold and darkness will be exchanged for light and warmth, the long, laborious wanderings for a quick flight. No rationing, no hunger or thirst – only a short flight. In truth – the possibilities are great". Already while the Fram was in Colón in 1913 waiting to sail through the Panama Canal, he wrote to Christian Doxrud, who at that time was the captain on board, concerning the planned North Pole expedition: "The expedition will have two hydro-aeroplanes, and the Swedish aviator Cederstrøm will come along".
In autumn 1913 Amundsen was in the USA on a lecture tour. He was given a plane ride in San Francisco by Norwegian-American Johnsen, and the experience gave him an even stronger belief in this transport method of the future. He even ordered two "Christofferson Flying Boats" while he was there, but it turned out to be too expensive to transport them to Norway and the order was cancelled.
Back in Norway again he flew several times from Kjeller, outside Oslo, with Norway's first aviation pioneer Einar Sem-Jacobsen. Sem-Jacobsen had established the Norwegian Aviation Society (Norsk Luftseiladsforening) in 1909, and that same year he had suggested to Amundsen that he should use a kite to lift the ice pilot above the Fram so that he could look for leads in the ice during the drift over the Arctic Ocean. Amundsen took kites on board, but they were not used since the expedition went to the Antarctic instead.
Sem-Jacobsen naturally became the head of the technical division when the Army Flying Corps was established in 1913. Amundsen applied to the Ministry of Defence for permission to take flying lessons at the Army Flying School at Kjeller, and in March 1914 he took lessons with Sem-Jacobsen at Kjeller and Gardermoen. On 11 June 1914 Amundsen passed the flying test at Kjeller airfield, even though he crashed the Army's Farman plane in the attempt. In September 1915 he was presented with civil flying certificate number 1 in Norway. With Sem-Jacobsen's help he ordered his own Farman plane from France in 1914, but gave it to the military when the war broke out.
The first attempts at polar flying
When the Maud expedition in 1918-21 had still not managed to enter the current over the Arctic Ocean, Amundsen left the ship. The First World War had resulted in great technical advancements for aircraft and Amundsen was convinced that planes were the new means of carrying out exploration in the polar areas.
Early in 1922 he was in the USA where he decided to buy a Curtiss Oriole plane. Luckily in view of his negative economic situation he was given a plane by the Curtiss owner, Glenn H. Curtiss. The plane was named "Kristine" after Amundsen's lady friend Kristine Elisabeth (Kiss) Bennet and it was taken on the Maud for the last part of the expedition 1922-25. With Odd Dahl as pilot and Wisting as observer two flights were made from the Maud in the drift ice, but the plane crashed on the second landing. These were the first flights from a ship.
In May 1922 Amundsen also bought in the USA a Junkers plane which could take longer flights than the Curtiss. Oscar Omdal was asked to fly the plane from New York to Seattle, but it crashed in Pennsylvania on the way. Nothing daunted, Amundsen bought a new one and had it delivered by train to Seattle. This plane was named "Elisabeth", also after Kiss Bennett. Both planes were loaded on to the Maud and Amundsen, Omdal and the Junkers were put ashore by Wainwright on Alaska's north coast. The plan was to fly from Wainwright to Svalbard. However, the plane crashed during the first test flight in 1923, and Amundsen's economic situation became even worse.
Ellsworth steps in
In 1924 the economic situation was untenable. There was just no more capital to equip an aircraft expedition to make the first transpolar flight over the North Pole. The whole project was planned in order to ascertain whether or not there was land in the inner Arctic Ocean.
Amundsen was now convinced that flying boats (planes with a boat-shaped hull instead of an undercarriage) would be the best for flying to the North Pole. He ordered two Dornier Wal flying boats, but did not have the funds to pay for them. In September 1924 he contacted the Norwegian Aviation Society and its chairman Rolf Thommessen in order to suggest cooperation to finance the expedition. He returned to the USA to try to make some money lecturing about the Maud expedition, but did not feel the situation to be particularly uplifting. However, when it all seemed darkest, the great breakthrough came.
One evening at the hotel the telephone rang and a man presented himself as Lincoln Ellsworth. Ellsworth had his own dreams of polar expeditions and had trained as a surveyor and carried out physical training and natural history studies with that in mind. His father owned coal mines and was a millionaire, and Ellsworth offered Amundsen economic assistance in exchange for a place on Amundsen's next expedition. His father had to be persuaded, but finally agreed to give the necessary funds for the purchase of the two German Dornier Wal machines, registered as N24 and N25. Together with the Aviation Society an administering company was formed with the name "Norsk Luftseiladsforening A/S for Amundsen-Ellsworths Polflyvning 1925" (The Norwegian Aviation Society Ltd for Amundsen-Ellsworth's Polar Flight 1925).
To Ny-Ålesund
The two planes were tested from the factory at Pisa in Italy before they were dismantled and sent by ship to Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen and Leif Dietrichson were to fly the planes and Oscar Omdal and German Karl Feucht were engaged as mechanics. Ellsworth and Amundsen were to be the navigators.
Kings Bay (Ny-Ålesund) was an active coal-mining settlement at this time, and when Hobby arrived on 13 April with the two flying boats on board, there were plenty of hands to help with unloading and putting the planes together again. This time Amundsen had a photographer with him, Paul Berge, and two journalists, Fredrik Ramm and Wharton, and the expedition aroused great media interest now that journalists for the first time could follow on the spot an important part of an Amundsen expedition. Sail maker Martin Rønne, who had been on Amundsen's last two expeditions, was also in place. While they were in Ny-Ålesund he sewed equipment for the flight, including shoes, trousers, tents and sail-cloth boats.
In addition to getting the equipment ready, the expedition also had to wait for the right weather conditions. In the course of the more than five weeks they were in Ny-Ålesund, Amundsen stayed in the house of the coal company's director. This building was restored in 2010-11 back to its appearance in Amundsen's time and it is today an important and significant cultural heritage monument in Ny-Ålesund.
The flight
The departure from Kings Bay finally took place on 21 May 1925. Originally the flying boats were supposed to take off from water, but they were heavily loaded over the stipulated maximum as it was necessary to include equipment for a possible return trek over the ice. So it was decided they would take off from the ice on the fjord, with Riiser-Larsen, Amundsen and Feucht in N25 and Omdal, Ellsworth and Dietrichson in N24.
At 5.10 pm they started up over the ice and soon they were on their way northwards together past the north coast of Spitsbergen. Below them was now only ice and leads. Amundsen remarked that "I have never seen anything more desolate and deserted. A bear from time to time I would have thought, which could break the monotony a little. But no – absolutely nothing living".
Almost four weeks in the ice
After more than eight hours in the air Amundsen decided that they should land in suitable leads in the ice. Half the fuel was used up and they were not entirely sure of their position. It would be easier to fix the position once they had landed. On the way down one of N25's engines began to play up, but the planes were landed safely at 87°43' N. They had, however, landed so far from each other that more than 24 hours passed before they glimpsed each other, and nearly five days before the three from N24 could reach the others. They could then report that part of the bottom of N24 had been damaged during take-off so that water had entered when they landed. It was obvious that N24 would not be taking off with them again and they had to rely on just one plane.
For 3½ weeks the six men lived squashed together in the N25, with minimum food rations while they worked as hard as they could with primitive tools to make a starting strip in the uneven drift ice. Several times the movement of the ice meant that they had to start again. They fetched fuel from the N24, and they emptied the N25 for absolutely everything regarded as unnecessary. Finally on 15 June they all crowded into the plane and crossed their fingers while Riiser-Larsen revved the engines, started down the minimal strip and only just managed to get the plane into the air. They had fuel for about eight hours flying. Eight hours later they landed safely off the coast of Nordaustlandet, Svalbard.
A triumphant return
It could have been another great challenge to trek overland to Ny-Ålesund. However, shortly after they had at last got firm ground under their feet, a small hunting ship appeared by chance. It was the Sjøliv of Balsfjord that thus gained the honour of transporting the men for the last stage back to their starting point. The N25 was moored in Brennevinsbukta on Nordaustlandet and was fetched on 20-21 June. The whole expedition, including the N25, was transported south to Horten by the Oslo Fjord by Kings Bay's coal ship.
Roald Amundsen had not reached his goals this time either. He had not got to the North Pole, and neither had he carried out the transpolar flight. But the men had returned from the icy wastes and congratulatory telegrams flowed in from near and far. On 5 July the men flew N25 in to the capital and landed between rows of flag-flying boats. They were taken in triumph through Oslo's streets to the palace, where there was a reception and dinner in their honour. There were said to have been 50 000 people gathered in the streets of Oslo to acclaim the returned heroes.
The fate of the N25
The N25 was anchored in Bunnefjorden, by Amundsen's home outside Oslo. The Australian-British polar explorer Hubert Wilkins came to inspect it that autumn to see whether he would buy it for his planned flight over the Arctic Ocean from Alaska to Svalbard. However, nothing came of the sale.
In March 1927 the N25 was used to test a new route from Oslo to Harwich, via Kristiansand and Amsterdam. The plane was then sold to an Irish pilot, Frank Courtney, who wanted to use it on a flight over the Atlantic to New York and back to Europe. New Napier Lion motors were installed, but an engine fire meant that Courtney had to make an emergency landing 600 km before Newfoundland on 26 June 1928. Together with his crew he was rescued after 24 hours at sea by the S/S Minnewaska. The plane had to be left, but five days later it was hoisted on board the Italian cargo ship Valprato, which had also heard the SOS, and it was transported to Italy.
The plane was then sold to Germany and reregistered again. The new owner, Wolfgang von Gronau, used the plane for pilot training at his flying school DVS (Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule) on the island of Sylt in the Baltic. In 1930 he crossed the Atlantic with the flying boat and landed in New York on 26 August 1930 as the first plane from Europe. The flying boat was transported by ship back to Germany and used as a school plane until 1932, when it was transferred to the Deutsches Museum and flown to Munich. During a bombing raid against the city in 1944 the historic N25 was totally destroyed.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"
Roald Amundsen

hi - I have a 4 week old baby...he is happy breastfeeding, although he has bad wind, which i think is due mainly to the fact that he splutters and coughs quite a lot whilst feeding...does this sound like a fast let down?
he also tries to pulls off quite near the beginning of the feed, pulling my nipple in the process making very frustrated noises, whilst squirming around...and then carries on...
i have tried leaning back at the beginning to help with the choking...do you think the squirming and pulling at the nipple is because he is frustrated that the flow has become too slow for him after the initial let down because i'm leaning back?
would love some advice - thanks
ps. he has been diagnosed with reflux, which is now under control
