Powell took control of the race from the first strides. He and Jamie Osborne, on the favourite Coulton, set sail together and matched strides at a blazing pace. Coulton's hopes ended with a mistake at the final ditch, six from home, that left Dublin Flyer five lengths clear and still galloping strongly. As he swung into the final turn, the dangers were the outsider Southolt - running the race of his life - and Nuaffe, who had been unable to go with the gallop early, but whose reserves of stamina were now coming into play.
The Irish horse flew the last in third and, under maximum pressure from Sean O'Donovan - having a fine first ride in Britain - caught the leader halfway up the hill. But Powell - who has broken his leg three times in an injury-dogged career - had a partner as tough as himself, and Dublin Flyer thrust his nose back in front on the line. The jockey said: "He hasn't got much speed - his forte is his jumping - but he is so brave."
Dublin Flyer was bred by his owner John Sumner, whose family have been with Forster since the start of his 30-year career, and, for the 60-year-old trainer, the race epitomised the attractions of the steeplechasing game he so loves. And, as he waited forthe result of the photograph, Forster had some pointed remarks about the British Horseracing Board's plans to axe 89 chases from next season's programme.
He said: "Dublin Flyer is a typical, late-maturing steeplechaser, and he has been kept for eight years with this sort of race in mind. If the BHB have their way we will end up with no more horses like him, for there will be no races for them to run in."
O'Donovan's efforts to win earned him a seven-day ban (from 19 to 25 December) for misuse of the whip after vets found Nuaffe was marked.
Large Action, third in the Champion Hurdle as a novice in March, strengthened his claims to next year's title with a two-and-a-half length defeat of reigning champion Flakey Dove in the Bula Hurdle. The six-year-old gelding, always handy in a slowly-run race, took the lead two out and produced an impressive change of gear to quicken clear of his rivals. But he had to be kept up to his work up the hill, and his trainer Oliver Sherwood said: "The way he put daylight between himself and the others was verypleasing. I just wish he wouldn't give us heart failure once he gets in front."
Flakey Dove, who has never won before the turn of the year, also pleased her connections. She showed great determination to run on for second place from the home turn.
On the downside, Carl Llewellyn will be out for two months after sustaining crushed vertebrae in a crashing fall that claimed the life of Bay Mischief. Adrian Maguire, meanwhile, was badly shaken when he was unseated from Country Lad in the big chase, and missed the winning ride on Billygoat Gruff in the last.

It is this pivot that the strut mount provides that allows your wheels to change location and orientation a few degrees so it can accommodate changes in the road. This adaptability was never seen before the strut mount, and your Plymouth Sundance owes its comfortable ride to it.

I think this is absolutely outrageous that any financial institution would promise to help and drop their customer and throw them to the lions, as the saying goes.
I know someone with the same circumstances as you state. There is a pattern and homeowners, like yourself, customers/clients of Colonial Savings, are being treated like this and your homes being pulled from you via 'foreclosure'.
There is more happening than what we see on the surface and it is hard to prove unless the homeowners band together to expose this financial institution for the fraud and/or misrepresentations they are committing and making as well as exposing all those involved with them.

It may not be showing in the win column, but Anderlecht midfielder Sacha Kljestan is playing some of the best soccer of his career since he moved abroad.
The U.S. Men's National Team regular has scored seven goals in 13 Belgian league matches, including three in his last three games. Now, with his side mired in a UEFA Champions League dogfight at the bottom of Group 4, Kljestan must focus on three fronts—the league, European competition, and USMNT friendly matches next week—to keep him in line for a roster spot in Brazil.
"I think every little thing you do is important," Kljestan told U.S. Soccer in an interview. "Playing in Champions league is important, being a leader on your team is important, scoring goals and helping your team win games is important also. I'm just trying to do everything in my power to put myself in a good position to be one of the guys that Jurgen [Klinsmann] counts on when it comes to Brazil."
Kljestan's club Anderlecht currently sits in fifth-place in the Belgian Pro League, five points behind leaders Standard Liege with 28 points from a 9-1-4 record. The 28-year-old admits that after winning the league title last season, the club sold off some of their older players, including Argentine midfielder Lucas Biglia, forward Tom de Sutter, and forward Dieumerci Mbokani, leading to some difficult results.
In their first three Champions League games this season, Anderlecht has been on the wrong side of losses, including an embarrassing 5-0 defeat at home to Paris Saint-Germain two weeks ago. Even with the tough losses both in Europe and in the domestic league, it hasn't stopped Kljestan from turning into the team's leading scorer in the league so far.
"It's hard to explain," said Kljestan on his goal-scoring form. "Four of the seven goals have come off set pieces. I've been putting myself in good positions to score on set pieces. The others have come from the run of play. I've just been putting myself in a good spot and really taking my chances.
"It's not like I've had a ton of opportunities to score this season. I've really had maybe 10 and scored on seven of them. It's just one of those things that happen in soccer. Sometimes when you get in the zone and you get a little bit of luck here and there, and you have some experience to go along with it, things just kind of fall into place. Right now, I have the hot hand and I hope it continues."
One adjustment that Kljestan has had to make mentally is accepting that when everyone is fit, he's not in USMNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann's starting lineup. For most of 2013, the California native has usually been the third central midfielder behind Jermaine Jones and Michael Bradley.
However, Kljestan admitted that when the U.S. played Jamaica last month in Kansas City, he had a conversation with Klinsmann about his place in the team and Kljestan left the meeting feeling more secure about his responsibilities and what the manager wants from him.
"I had a good talk with Jurgen when we were in Kansas City," said Kljestan. "I feel positive about my performances lately and I hope to continue getting more chances before the World Cup to prove that I'm valuable to the team.
"I think recently in the games I have played I've done well. When I came on against Bosnia and helped the team to a victory in the end, and the same against Jamaica when I came on. So, maybe my impact is in that substitute role that can help the team in the middle of the field get the game going and things like that. "
The former Seton Hall Pirate should have another chance to impress with the USMNT squad this month with friendly matches against Scotland on Nov. 15 and Austria on Nov. 19. And if he can translate his rich goal-scoring form from Anderlecht to the national team, it would be further proof that he deserves a spot on the 2014 World Cup roster.
"Every game is an opportunity, every international date is a chance to prove to Jurgen, the staff and the team that you belong and you can make a difference," Kljestan said. "So, hopefully I'm there with the guys. Obviously playing against two very good European teams in Europe is always a challenge and hopefully we get a good result."
will he become the first US player to score in the CL tonight?
the first US player with a heavy moustache?
Beasely scored in the 4 CL goals with PSV on their way to the semi finals
Betamale beat me to it… How could you forget beasley?
Ali Dia
The honor of first American to score in the Champions League actually belongs to Jovan Kirovski, who achieved the feat during his time with Borussia Dortmund in the late nineties. During the 1996-1997 campaign, he became the first (and still only) American to win the Champions League, although he made only 2 appearances and did not dress for the final. Wikipedia erroneously claims that Kirovski scored during this campaign. In fact, Kirovski did score in the following campaign, netting the second goal of Dortmund's final group stage game, a 3-0 win away to Sparta Prague. As far as I am aware, this is the first goal scored by an American in the Champions League.
But did he have a killer mustache?
Ali Dia
Sadly, no. His freshly shaved 1997 mug can be seen via the link below, which rates him as the 2nd worst player ever to win the Champions League.
Okay, I have to ask, who was the first???
Ali Dia
Djimi Traore (Liverpool). At least according to them. From that side, I would've taken Kewell.
…it's actually referred to as a "porn stash"…
Thanks wikileaks for ur in depth knowledge drop
Ali Dia
Hahahaha. It's pretty amazing that I'm single, huh?
you can tell this guy was once in SPECIAL FORCES
Years ago Gooch was 1 of the best players in Belgium. Up there with Vincent Kompany (now captain at Man City) and now Kljestan is 1 of the best players at his club. He's really doing something. I doubt he will make the WORLD CUP squad but he's gonna do his best.
I'd say he has a pretty good chance of making the World Cup squad… no guarantees, but his stock is rising at the right time. He's done well for himself in the squad in his last few appearances, and there are several backup slots available in the midfield.
The only guys ahead of him for certain are Bradley and Jones, though an argument could be made for Diskerud.
He has been in the group of whipping boys (who hasn't) of the internet soccer bullies. I have always thought highly of him and he has got better over these past two years. He doesn't have a real burst and is not effective on the outside. But I really like him in the middle but I don't see him knocking out Bradley or Jones as a starter. I would like to see both he and Cameron go to Brasil.
Geoff Cameron to Brazil? No way. They guy has only started about every game for the past 15 months for Stoke in the Premier League at right back, so Geoff obviously does not have the right stuff for Klinsmann, who prefers slotting MLS midfielders in at right back for the USMNT or guys who never dress for their clubs or guys who always decline invitations to join the team in WCQ qualifying games, but now that the dirty work is over will no doubt be happy to play in meaningless friendlies to win a ticket for Brazil.
I think Jurgen's attitude is going to change big time as the WC draws near when he will adopt a thoroughly German "What can you do for me NOW" attitude toward roster spots. I think that if Kljestan and Cameron are in the form they are now they will certainly be on the plane to Brazil if for no other reason that JK will want seasoned professionals to step in should his flavor of they week get injured or suspended.
I'm pretty sure German's don't have a monopoly on "what can you do for me now". In fact…. I'd say it is a universal standard in the sporting world.
Nate Dollars
i also think that klinsmann can be more stereotypically american than he is stereotypically german, which is, i think, one reason why he was unsuccessful over there (manager-wise, of course).
I would really like to see him paired with Bradley for a game. I think that could be a dangerous combo.
This was the go to pairing for a while in the previous cycle, but Kljestan's form didn't last. I agree that I'd like to see it again. He's come a long way since then. Doubt he knocks off Jones for a starting place, but I think he provides a change of pace off the bench.
Anderlecht at least keeping PSG out of the goal for the first half. Mitrovic just kills so many of the attacks for them.
Lost in Space
While I'm not a huge fan of Kljestan, I will admit/concede that he is likely to make the coaching staff's decisions difficult when it comes time to select the 23 going to Brazil.
Kljestan's problem is that he is unremarkable. He's a solid player who slots in as a Box-to-Box midfielder. He doesn't have a lot of bite on the Defensive side (ala Jones/Cameron/Beckerman or Edu/Williams); nor does he have the creativity of Bradley (possibly Mixx/Holden). So where does he fit into the CM picture?
Kljestan is a 3rd choice Box-to-Box CM….so unless Jones or Bradley are injured his best chance to secure a seat on the plane to Brazil will be to beat out Mixx as the offensive CM off the bench.
Cameron & Beckerman are the best CDM's (right now)
Mixx is probably the most creative/slick CM & has more pace than Sasha.
Ali Dia
Agree with your assessment, pretty much. I believe he makes the trip, largely as cover in the event of injury/suspension to the first choice CM's. Also, I think he is a good guy to bring on to help lock up the MF in the event we are protecting a lead in the second half. Obviously, this hasn't happened much since 2002.
I'm all for giving Kljestan a few chances I mean its not as if Jones has been wonderful in every start.
This. If Klinsmann continues to lump Cameron in with the defenders, I see Kljestan as the #3 or #4 guy in the midfield right now. Honestly, Diskerud is probably ahead of him right now, but Kljestan's had the better performances for the US of late and his club form is still climbing for the 3rd straight season.
"Klinsmann continues to lump Cameron in with the defenders"
Cameron is primarily a defender.
Cameron had one great game in midfield is against Panama, a CONCACAF team that none of you value and who proved themselves impotent in the HEX, nearly as feckless as Mexico.
Great assist from Kljestan!!
If you could only take 2 of the 3 to the World Cup who would you take? Kljestan, mix, beckerman
I take Beckerman for cover in case anything happens to Bradley. No one else can seem to handle dropping back and picking the ball up off the back line and connecting the midfield. Then I take Kljestan because I'm not really sure where Mix fits in. Is he a true central midfielder or does he play in the more advanced role we've seen Dempsey play. I'm just not sure.
Ali Dia
It's a good question (I would also throw Torres in for the purpose of this comp). I think the cop-out, although accurate, answer is that it will become a lot more clear after the draw, once we know the 3 teams we definitely need to face. I fear that Beckerman's value will be very minimal if we have to face 2-3 teams that have a high degree of technical proficiency and that press well in MF. I don't see him being able to be his disruptive self against top, top opposition. Moreover, he has a heavy touch and limited passing range/vision that could see him badly exploited.
After the Costa Rica match I fear how Cameron and Jones might handle high pressure as well. It seemed like they lost the ball every time they turned around. Not that Beckerman would have done any better but it makes you question what you do with out Bradley.
"I don't see him being able to be his disruptive self against top, top opposition."
How many of the USMNT players do you see as being "themselves" against "top, top opposition" in the competitive atmosphere of a World Cup?
How many US players have had a chance to prove they could be "themselves" in those circumstances?
Only Landon comes to mind.
Ali Dia
No disagreement, bud. I'd rate Bradley and Howard there, but that's a matter of opinion. And it might be unfair to exclude Dempsey… the few times we've managed good results that might turn some heads internationally (Spain 2009, England 2010, Italy 2012, Germany 2013) Dempsey had his fingerprints all over it and his name on the scoresheet,
All of this is outside of my point, which is a little different, For me, Beckerman's primary value to the USMNT is disruptiveness and possession in the middle third. Compared to the average international midfielder from a top 30 side, his attacking skills and passing vision are probably bottom 15%. If he can't do these things, he really has no value at all and shouldn't be on the field.
By comparison, guys like Kljestan and Diskerud offer something that would at least have credible value against an elite side. No, neither will be mistaken for Xavi or Pirlo, but they at least offer the potential of being something besides a liability. Take Beckerman's disruptiveness away, and he simply does not.
Ali Dia,
Howard was not "himself" in the 2010 World Cup. Had he been the US might well have beaten Ghana and advanced. In that World Cup Timmy let down the USMNT.
Dempsey has been good but not really "himself", the Deuce, in any of his World Cup games. His goal did tie England in 2010, and while we all would take it, I would not say he was at his best in that game.
JK certainly sees something of value in Beckerman, who is a clear contender for a spot in Brazil.
"Compared to the average international midfielder from a top 30 side,
That's probably a moot point since how many midfielders do we have who play in "top 30" sides? I don't rate Roma a top 30 side but Mikey could play for one. Jones could too. I don't know if Schalke are top 30. I doubt Anderlecht is but I could be wrong.
"his attacking skills and passing vision are probably bottom 15%."
I don't agree. And JK appears to have a different opinion of Beckerman than you do.
In your defense the qualities that teamates and coaches value in players like Beckerman are often difficult if not impossible for outsiders to appreciate. All I know is JK appears to trust the Crofton Kid and for the most part, Beckerman has not let him down.
You worry about what Beckerman can't do while I'm impressed by what he can do.
I don't worry about Beckerman costing the US a game. What I notice about JK's team's in the Hex is that when they have lost it seems as if the entire team fails to show up as opposed to the loss being down to an individual error. The opening Honduras loss was one of the worst overall performances I've ever seen by any US team. The Costa Rica loss was primarily due to a team wide disorientation caused the loss of Mikey in warmups.
In other words winning and losing seems very clearly a team oriented thing with this edition.
Ali Dia
Weapons down GW!… Just a conversation piece. I don't know the answer. I do like Beckerman and wouldn't throw a tantrum if he made the plane, or even if he found his way into the first XI in a critical game. My thoughts were meant as a response to the hypothetical that Maykol threw out there, nothing more.
And hey I agree with half the points you make. You state that you don't consider Roma a top 30 side (I actually meant international sides, not clubs…maybe 32 would've been a better number, but the point is similar I suppose.. ). You'd be hard pressed to find a pundit who doesn't rate Roma top 5-10. But I don't, so hey we have something in common yeah?
My point is really simple ( and simple to disagree with if you are so inclined). If we are facing Brazil (as an example) and need a result to advance, I'd rather roll with Kljestan or Diskerud, because I believe that they have potential to produce the one moment of magic we'd need. And I believe Beckerman could never do this, and couldn't accomplish what he does so effectively in CONCACAF and MLS, which is stifle the opposing game plan. Could I be wrong? Sure. Just one mans' thoughts on a hypothetical question.
I will agree that Mix and Sacha are more likely to be used than Kyle if you want to be more aggressive but I still think his attacking qualities are underappreciated.
I do think Mix still has hard teams with teams that would pressure him from the start. Brazil for example would shut him down from the get go.
Of the three Sacha is my choice for best all around midfielder but if JK has to pick one of the three for a game my guess is it would be a game time practice influenced decision.
Mostly, all three are flawed spare parts that JK has to make the most off.
Jozy also had a pretty big hand in each of those results out side of the England match. Though he nearly had one that went off Green and hit the post after a pretty awesome run.
Ali Dia
Agreed John. I'm a dual and half English, but it always burns me up when my delusional English friends talk about how lucky the US was to get a point in that match… fact is we came much closer to poaching a winner in a match that was largely even.
To your point, Jozy was top and was quality in most of the top US results over the last 5 years, and I didn't even mention Bosnia. Don't see much getting done in Brazil without him making his presence felt.
I agree, Beck
Kljestan has always been a player who reads the game well. He sometimes tries to pull off plays that he is technically unable to do (he is a bit like Jones in that unfortunate trait). When he focusses on what he can do, he plays very well. I have always wondered if he is quite athletic enough to be a good international player, but I think he is ahead of Beckerman in athleticism and probably in skill. Beckerman is very clever in that he almost always plays within his capabilities so that (mostly) the only times he looks foolish is when an opponent simply blows by him. Cameron has had some good games, and plays regularly for Stoke, but I am not sure he has more skill or soccer smarts than Kljestan, but Cameron is a bit quicker and, I think, a better defender. Three different players, JK gets to decide which he thinks can help the team more.
Diskerud is different than the other 3 and a lot younger, I thought he struggled when he faced opponents who pressured the ball early, but looked skillful when he was not under pressure. I suspect JK will be looking for Diskerud to show he can handle early hard pressure better and be more effective in helping defensively, something every player must do. (Except maybe Romario)
Kljestan's good enough to start on a (admittedly weak) Champions League team, which is a form of international competition. Doesn't mean he's top tier international caliber, but he can certainly contribute to the US team.
Aaaaand… a red card. Nice assist earlier though
Crap..what for?
Had a good seat at the game last night so I had an eye on him for most of the match, which isn't hard to do because he is tall with a 'stache and he stays very involved in the match. I think he had a good one and kind of made up part of the mud that PSG got stuck in. Mud, because he is a bit slow and awkward out there, but he is a smart player who finds good positions offensively and defensively and wasn't at all shy to tackle or run at a much more athletic team. He definitely influenced the game positively. Nonetheless his first yellow card was because he was just too slow for Lucas in the open field, the second because he was too tired to move and block the ball with something other than his hand.
I think his spot on the plane is guaranteed barring injury. Of our European players, he's getting the most regular first-team football and is showing that his "soccer IQ" is growing by so often being in the correct spot at the correct time. Doutbless, he's ahead of guys like Diskerud, Danny Williams, and Jose Torres for the same role.
If I had a depth chart I would put him behind Bradley in the 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 (with Jones ahead of Cameron for the other spot). I do not like him at all in the attacking trident behind the striker. Those spots are reserved for the more dangerous players like Fabian, Castillo, Donovan, Johannson, and Dempsey (if he gets his form back).
I think you deploy him in a game where the opposite team is holding majority of possession and you're relying on the counter to score. He can pick out a dagger pass on a counter, and he's good at joining in with bombing runs forward. But if he has to collect, redistribute, move, collect, and then possibly defend when possession is lost, he will show himself to be just a step off and a second late without the pace or determination to make it up. This is really where Jermaine Jones and Bradley (and even Cameron) beat him out.
The only way I see Sacha in the starting 11 is if he plays a side spot in a 4-3-3 with Bradley on the other side and Jones holding ahead of the CBs and pressing the line forward.
Anyone going to mention the drastic title change of this post, not to mention the complete deletion of the poster's post who originally pointed it out? I feel like we're in Mother Russia.
Good to see so many guys fighting so hard for their spots. The 2014 WC field will be as tough as it's ever been, and the US need a field full of players with killer instinct. And of course it's an excellent indicator of the depth from which Jurgen can choose this year.

|Kitsu Fukashi
|Unnamed Ikoma
Kitsu Fukashi was a shugenja of the Lion Clan.
Family Edit
His mother was an Ikoma, and Fukashi was not trusted by his brethren for this lineage. [1]
Khan's Defiance Edit
It was Fukashi who first suspected that the Khan Moto Chagatai was utilizing shugenja to control the weather during the Unicorn Clan Champion's attack on the Lion Clan and eventually the Capital Toshi Ranbo in the winter of 1168-1169 during the Khan's Defiance. [2]

This is just a demo map that you can delete right away, if you feel like it...
Person must receive 67 points in a system designed to identify who is most fit to live in Canada as a successful citizen, Point system is adjusted every couple of years by the government
Must show the willingness to make a significant financial contribution to Canada, This can be done by establishing/buying a business, or making an investment that creates at least one job outside of their family, Investment DEPENDS on where the business immigrant wishes to settle, For example, a larger investment is needed in British Columbia than in PEI, Must score 35 points under the point systems total in order to gain entrance into Canada
ie. Spouses, dependent children,parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, nephews and neices, &grandchildren.
Sponsor agrees to provide housing and other needs for immigrant for a maximum of ten years IF the immigrant falls under financial difficulty, This is a risky task due to strict government rules and potential financial issues; therefore the number of family immigrants have reduced greatly over the years, The length of the amount of time the sponsor may support the immigrant depends on the age and relationship of the sponsor
All of these things may be threatening the individual due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, and/or membership in a social group
Number of refugees in Canada ranges from 24000 to 33000 in a typical year
A special category of refugee is for victims suffering natural and/or human disasters, such as famines and wars
For example: War, Poor economic and educational opportunities, and absence of human rights may urge a person to move to Canada
Intervening obstacles may discourage a foreigner from immigrating to Canada
For example, immigrating to Canada may be too costly, the requirements of the Canadian government might not allow for them be legal immigrants, changes may be too unfamiliar, and the distance between the hometown of the individual and Canada may be too great

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Located on the Gulf side of Florida within the gorgeous Nature Coast. Secluded private home on the Withlacoochee river edge with its own dock and access to the gulf by boat/car. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, large kitchen and dining room viewing the river out back. Inclosed lanai with hot tub. Fully furnished nautical theme with everything you need for a great stay. Miles of River front beauty and recreational opportunities, playground for fisherman and wetland home for numerous bird species and mammal considered rare in America.
The House was nice location was great to easy to drive to boat ramp to put in to scallop.
The home is located in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed walking the bike path. We also enjoyed fishing and watching the wildlife from the dock. We had the opportunity to see manatees from the dock. We enjoyed the sun room with the hot tub. We stayed for nine weeks and the weather was great! We'd love to come back.
With an age range of 9-70, I was nervous about everybody having a good time. It worked out great though. We were only a short drive from Dunnellon, where we were able to do a Christmas Eve canoe trip on the pristine Rainbow River. A short drive the opposite direction puts you at the gulf where you can see the same river that is behind the house (Withlacoochee) spill into gulf. There were plenty of good dining options nearby as we visited the monkey bar in Homosassa and a seaty little bar on the other side of Lake Rousseau called the Loft (best bar tacos I've ever had and the Busch beer was the same temperature they keep them back home). The Homosassa state park was perfect for my mom. She got to see the kids having a great time without having to do much walking, Lou the Hippo is a must see along with this being the only place nearby where you are guaranteed to see Manatee without any effort.
My brother spent most of his time fishing from the dock. It took him most of the week to figure out what baits to use and the effect of the tide on the fish bite even though we were on a river right by the dam the water fluctuates around 5 ladder rings from high to low tide.
I only have a couple of suggestions that would have benefited our vacation. Provide a second key or alternative entry as coordinating with groups going in different directions was difficult to decide who should take key as the second group for reasons beyond my understanding could not figure out the lockbox hanging on the door knob. Since the internal entrance to the hot tub is through the room with two beds where the kids were sleeping we had to walk around the garage to not disturb them. This was a very dark walk if you didn't have your cell, a light over by the trash would have been helpful. The dock was also pitch dark and could benefit from some minimal lighting.
These were minor inconveniences that didn't stop everybody from having a wonderful time. I definitely recommend staying here to anybody.
House has everything you need . Good location , clean .Two biggest towns are only 1/2 - 3/4 away . 4 gas stations , IGA , Sunoco only one fills propane tanks . Great bike trails around the area . Many good places to eat , pick one give it a try . Lot to see in the area.Thanks for sharing you house .
The pictures do not do the house justice. A very nice place. The river is large and quite fast flowing. The bike paths around this area are some the best and most plentiful we have ever seen. We enjoyed our month there very much. If you are tired of Florida's hyped up crowds, traffic, and prices, then this is the place for you.
Comfortable home with beautiful river to enjoy. Great area with many things to see and do near by. Parks, beaches and plenty of kayaking opportunities.

First NightmareMature
Jade Sapphire
"You idiot. What's wrong with you?! You nearly got yourself killed and now you're "remembering" it?!" Amilie yelled.
Billie's eyes started welling up with tears and I had a feeling they were going to spill over any second.
"Hey, back off. She's already feeling bad enough with whatever had happened to her; you don't need to make her feel worse," I snapped at Amilie.
She glared back at me. "You don't even know what happened so why don't you stay out of it?"
"I will when you stop yelling at her."
We stared intensely at each other for a few minutes, with me trying not to lower my gaze, when finally Amilie "humphed" and stomped off. I knew that Amilie and I probably wouldn't be on talking terms for a long time.
I turned back to Billie and Mike who were both staring at me, clearly surprised.
"Sorry, I have a bit of a temper at times."
"No-um, thanks. For standing up for me," Billie said.
I smiled at her, thinking to myself how today has been the weirdest day of my life.
After leaving Mike and Billie alone, telling them I had to rest, I went back up to the room inside the house. I felt like I was drained of my energy, like I was going to go into a coma any second. I had woken up somehow when I felt a jolt of power hit me but that power hadn't quite given me the energy I'd needed.
I lay down on the bed and the moment my head hit the pillow, I was out.
His cold fingers…I felt them on my face again. Moving through the center of my face, from my forehead, down the bridge of my nose, to my lips, and then my neck…
"Shh…it won't hurt…"
His one finger pressed against the blood vessel on my neck and I gasped. I could feel him getting closer to my neck, closer, closer…then…his fangs sunk deep into my neck.
I woke up, gasping for breath. My hands instinctively went to my neck searching it for the mark. Then dropping my hands to my side, I brought my knees to my chest and rocked myself. Today…today's been very strange.
After a few minutes of calming myself down, I looked up and found myself staring into Ash River's vampire like face.

EACH week Betty, The Sun's no-nonsense Mistress of Modern Manners, asks a
celebrity some frankly cheeky questions.
Here TV presenter and former Strictly contestant GETHIN JONES on dressing up
as a woman, being a geek and having talented hips.
I'LL come straight to the point: What the hell are "talented big toes"?
Because apparently you've got them.
I've got this weird thing I can do with my big toes. I can tuck them under my
feet and walk around on them — it's my party trick and freaks everyone out.
When you were voted Ultimate Hottie 2008 by Cosmopolitan magazine, it
wasn't your feet most women first noticed about you. Is your fiancée
Katherine Jenkins keen on them?
You'd have to ask her that.
Any other bits of you that are particularly talented?
My hips. Thanks to Camilla Dallerup on Strictly, my hips have a new lease of
Apparently your sister thinks you've got "girlie" legs. Surely she doesn't
mean you shave, moisturise and use fake tan?
We used to joke we wanted to swap legs because mine were so skinny and she had
rugby player's legs.
I imagine few of the kids from your early school days would recognise you
now. Didn't you use to have braces, bottle-bottom specs and a mushroom
Yes, it's true. I played the violin as well so I fitted the geeky boy
stereotype. One summer I got rid of my braces, got contact lenses and did a
bit of gym work and teachers didn't recognise me when I went back to school.
I'm still a geek inside.
Do you still blush a lot?
I don't think I get embarrassed any more. After years of doing Blue Peter and
spending 80 per cent of your time naked or dressed as a woman, you tend to
lose the ability to get embarrassed.
So when a recent survey said blushers make better lovers, you couldn't
confirm it's true?
Definitely true. I'm blushing now.
You're obsessively tidy. Do you line up tin cans in cupboards and colour
co-ordinate your underpants?
I'm not quite that bad but I am very tidy. I always Hoover under the bed.
I'm the man of the house round ours. Mr B is more of a thinker (at least,
that's what he claims he's doing when he's gazing into space), while I'm
handy with the chainsaw and sink plunger. Who does what round at yours?
We're a really good team. I'm a flat-pack expert, super-speedy, and I'm a keen
Katherine, of course, is a world-famous opera singer and you're handy on
the violin and piano. Do you get the neighbours hammering on the wall for a
bit of quiet?
Maybe at Christmas.
I gather some of those neighbours include Sir Trevor McDonald and actor
Richard E Grant. Do they pop round for sugar or a loan of your mower?
I haven't seen the boys for a while but they're always welcome.
It all sounds very different to your usual Action Man life. You've had no
less than five near-death experiences at the sharp end of alligators and
avalanches. Being at home must seem awfully dull sometimes.
I love testing my limits and seeing what is possible. I've realised your body
will not stop until your mind says so. It can go a lot further than you
think it can. I do love my sport but I also love chilling out at home.
And finally (I know it's morbid, but that's me, I'm afraid), what would you
like to be buried with? Not until you're dead, of course, obviously.
My BlackBerry, just in case… no, really I don't care what I am buried with
just as long as it is close to my grandfather in Wales.

Working with a very short timeline makes it difficult to make these decisions. I can tell you that the CFP looks like we'll end up with a full day track - at least - on Cloudstack/libcloud/jclouds content, just based on the talks I've seen submitted so far. But if you're looking at heavy use of Cloudstack, I do agree that the CCC might be a better fit. > 1) Has a decision been made to maintain at least as significant > coverage of big data and cloud computing within the ApacheCon > tracks as last year?

What Did Paul Know About Jesus?
It is often remarked that Paul does not know much about Jesus. It
must be admitted that the Gospels give us more detail and information
about Jesus' ministry, death, and resurrection (and in the case of
Matthew and Luke, his birth) than do Paul's letters. Of course,
this is largely due to the fact that Paul was writing letters, not
narratives. And his letters, for the most part, were
"occasional." By "occasional" I mean that Paul wrote in response
to specific issues of which he had become aware. Nevertheless, in
addition to echoing many of Jesus' teachings as preserved in the
canonical Gospels, Paul's occasional letters demonstrate a familiarity
with many aspects of Jesus' life and ministry. I list many of
these references here:
1. Jesus was divine and pre-existent
• Col. 1:15-16 (John 1:1)
2. Jesus was born in human fashion, as a Jew, and had a ministry to the Jews
• Gal. 4:4, Romans 15:8
3. Jesus was referred to as "Son of God"
• 1 Cor. 1:9 (Mark 1:1)
4. Jesus was a direct descendent of King David
• Romans 1:3 (Matt. 1:1; Luke 1:27)
5. Jesus was a direct descendent of Abraham
• Gal. 3:16 (Matt. 1:1; Luke 1:27)
6. Jesus' upbringing was under the Jewish Law
• Gal. 4:4 (Luke 2:21-52)
7. Jesus prayed to God using the term "abba"
• Gal. 4:6; Romans 8:15-16 (Mark 14:36)
8. Jesus expressly forbid divorce
• 1 Cor. 7:10 (Mark 10:6-10)
9. Jesus taught that "preachers" should be paid for their preaching
• 1 Cor. 7:11; 9:14 (Luke 10:10)
10. Jesus taught about the end-time/eschatology
• 1 Thess. 4:15 (Matt. 24:6-31)
11. Paul refers to Peter by the name Cephas (rock), as did Jesus
• 1 Cor. 3:22 (Matt. 16:18)
12. Jesus had a brother named James
• Gal. 1:19, 1 Cor. 15:6-7 (Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3)
13. Jesus initiated the Lord's Supper
• 1 Cor. 11:23-25 (see Matt. 26:26-29)
14. Jesus was betrayed on the night of the Lord's Supper
• 1 Cor. 11:23-25 (see Matt. 26:25)
15. The death of Jesus was at the hands of earthly rulers
• 1 Cor. 2:8 (Matt. 27:1-50; Mark 15:1-47)
16. Jewish authorities were involved with Jesus' death
• 1 Thess. 2:14-16 (Matt. 27:1-3; Mark 15:1)
17. Jesus died by crucifixion
• 1 Cor. 1:23; 2 Cor. 13:4; Galatians 3:1 (Matt. 27:1-50; Mark 15:1-47)
18. Jesus was physically buried
• 1 Cor. 15:4; Rom. 6:4 (Mark 15:43-47; Matt. 27:58-66);
19. Jesus was resurrected from the dead
• Romans 1:4; 1 Cor. 15:4-7 (Luke 24:1-53; Mark 16:1-20; Matt. 28:1-20; John 20:1-21:25))
20. The resurrection occurred on the third day
• 1 Cor. 15:4 (Luke 24:7, 21, 46)
21. Jesus appeared to his followers on distinct occasions following his resurrection
• 1 Cor. 15:4-7 (Luke 24:1-53; Mark 16:1-20; Matt. 28:1-20; John 20:1-21:25)
I have rearranged the order of these statements in that described in
the written gospels and have attempted to largely place them as they
are laid out in the gospels. Because Paul's epistles were not
written in a narrative framework we should not expect them to be in
chronological order. Nevertheless, they are powerful
witnesses to the early church's beliefs. In short, "the outline
of the gospel story as we can trace it in the writings of Paul agrees
with the outline which we find elsewhere in the New Testament, and in
the four Gospels in particular." F.F. Bruce, The New Testament Documents,
page 79. Thus, the idea that Paul did not know any facts about a
human Jesus -- often used to support the Jesus Myth fantasy -- is
itself a myth.

Galatians 4:6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."
What is the 'Spirit of the Son'? Is it the Holy Spirit? Is it identical to the Spirit of the Father?
Is it Jesus himself?
Is Paul claiming that the earthly Jesus prayed to God using the word 'Father'?
Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."
What is the Spirit of sonship? Is it correct to say that Paul is claiming here that Jesus prayed to God using the word 'Abba', during his earthly life?
- Layman said...
I think that is a fair criticism of that one point. If it belongs in the connections between Paul and Jesus, it probably should be in the category of allusions to his teachings.
- Layman said...
Upon further review, I'm inclined to leave this on my list. I intend to explain my reasoning in another blog.

13 of 18 motorists killed in
January not buckled up
For the second consecutive month, lack of seat belt use factored in a majority of Minnesota traffic deaths. In January, 13 of the 18 motorists killed were not buckled up, according to preliminary Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety crash data. In December, only five of the 23 motorists killed were belted.
Most of the January unbelted deaths occurred in greater Minnesota counties — where belt compliance is historically low: Crow Wing, Cass, Wadena, Benton, Faribault (2), Goodhue, Kandiyohi, Otter Tail, Rock, St. Louis, and Winona. One unbelted fatality occurred in the Twin Cities area (Dakota County).
Officials say the unbelted deaths are factoring for the increase in deaths compared to this time in 2011. In January 2012, there were 19 deaths compared to 11 in 2011.

Dwayne Johnson on shaking, quaking 'San Andreas'
By Alicia Avila
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hulking actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson creates a new save-the-day persona as a rescue pilot in California earthquake thriller "San Andreas," opening in U.S. theaters on Friday.
Johnson, 43, talked to Reuters about recreating the magnitude 9-plus earthquake, an even bigger challenge than doing "Fast & Furious" films with Vin Diesel. Below are excerpts of the interview.
Q: What attracts audiences to a film like this?
A: You're dealing with Mother Nature at her strongest and it is the biggest earthquake ever recorded.
It's a platform for people to experience something on this epic level, that they know unfortunately could happen.
They're able to be entertained, they're able to lose their breath ... and then they're able to leave the theater and talk about it, like, 'Wow, I wonder what we would do.'
Q: Were you an earthquake enthusiast before the film? Continued...

Starbucks said on Wednesday that a compensation charge it faces is expected to wipe out its 2013 tax bill but will not affect the £20m ($30.8m) it intends to pay the UK over two years year.
The global coffee chain restated its accounts after agreeing to pay $2.7bn to settle a contract dispute with Kraft Foods. As a result, a global tax bill of $832m that it had expected to pay for the year to 29 September would instead become a tax credit of $239m. The company has come under fire from politicians and protest groups in the UK for not paying enough tax. Until this year, it had not paid tax in the UK for five years.
In January, David Cameron criticised the firm over its tax policies saying it should "wake up and smell the coffee". In December, Starbucks had pledged to pay the UK Treasury £10m a year for two years, but it has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Kraft and Starbucks have been in dispute since 2011 when the coffee company prematurely scrapped a contract that permitted the food company to sell bags of Starbucks-branded coffee in grocery shops. The deal was first struck in 1998. Starbucks said on Tuesday that an arbitrator had ordered it to pay Kraft $2.23bn in damages plus $557m in interest and other fees to end the dispute.
Starbucks is booking the compensation payment in the year to the end of September andreporting net income of $8m after the charge, down from the previously reported net income of $1.7bn for the year. It said: "Starbucks does not have any pre-tax income as a result of the arbitration award; therefore we do not have a tax obligation this year. For tax purposes, the payment is deductible. We are still evaluating the ruling to determine the time period for deductibility."
• This article was amended on 14 November 2013. The earlier version suggested that Starbucks had pledged to pay £10m to the UK Treasury after David Cameron said in January that it should "wake up and smell the coffee". Starbucks pledge, which was actually to pay £10m a year for two years, was made in December, after protests about its tax policies but before the prime minister's intervention.

Allen & Overy has poached two US partners from Arnold & Porter to strengthen its New York office.
Robert DeJoy and Jack Heinberg joined last week, bringing Allen & Overy's international tax department to 50 tax professionals, including 15 partners, worldwide.
DeJoy was previously senior tax partner at Arnold & Porter, representing Fortune 500 companies. His practice included advising on corporate joint ventures, inbound and outbound investments, acquisition divestitures and separations and global tax minimisation planning.
Heinberg was a tax partner at Arnold & Porter's New York office.
The moves follow last week's recruitment of Stephen Fiamma, former managing partner of Jones Day Reavis & Pogue's London office, to become a tax partner (The Lawyer, 13 March).
New York managing partner Carl Sheldon says that the practice has been looking for US tax lawyers for a long time.
He says: "US tax law is now included in all kinds of cross-border transactions and corporate deals. We were subcontracting the work out to US firms, a situation that was becoming less satisfactory so it was time for us to get the right US tax capability.
"In addition we foresee many key clients starting to approach risk management on a global basis and tax risk management is a key part of that."
Heinberg had worked with Allen & Overy on tax matters in the past.
"I joined because for me the most attractive aspect was to be part of building a cross-border tax practice, particularly with an international law firm," he says.
Head of the US law group Jeff Golden says: "As the practice has broadened we have seen more and more transactions with a very significant US tax component.
"The arrival of Stephen, Bob and Jack will enable us to provide clients with a complete service in these circumstances."
DeJoy was unavailable for comment.
The US law group of Allen & Overy now has 22 partners and 90 lawyers worldwide.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was pulled over, and now have a felony for intent to deliver, and two misdemeanors which are for possession of a controlled substance and possession of paraphernalia.Also, it was a year and a half ago. I don't have money, I don't know how I'd come up with enough to hire a lawyer. Was not in school zone, drug was marijuana. I've had NO criminal history. Not even a speeding ticket.
Depending on the weight of the drugs and whether the crime occurred in a school zone, there is possibly a mandatory jail sentence in the event of a conviction. There are so many issues involved so you need to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney. The sooner you hire a lawyer the better.Ask a similar question
I assume when you state that you, "now have a felony . . ." you simply mean you have been charged with a felony drug offense. The direct answer to your question is YES, you could go to jail or prison depending on a number of factors only one of which is within your control. The type of controlled substance and the amount. Pennsylvania's Drug Act has several provisions creating mandatory minimum periods of incarceration for felony drug convictions. Your prior criminal history will impact the likelihood of incarceration, especially any prior felony drug convictions. The strength of the case against you and whether you made any admissions to police at the time of your arrest will bear upon the likelihood of a conviction. Before jail or prison becomes possible, the Commonwealth has to get a conviction. Accordingly, your first order of business should be engaging the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney skilled in the handling of drug cases. I suggest you not post any more details on the Internet and concentrate on securing a good attorney. Good luck.Ask a similar question
This is intended to respond to the additional information supplied. Unfortunately for those of us who represent people charged with crimes, your statement concerning you financial situation is all too common. Someone such as yourself, with no prior experience with the criminal system and defense representation, tend to overestimate the cost of private counsel and the availability to payment plans to accommodate Defendants (most of them) who are not independently wealthy. Legal fees, unlike the cost of gasoline, are not printed on large signs outside lawyer's offices. Fees can vary substantially, and as I mentioned, some good attorneys will take on a case on an installment basis. You need to explore the possibilities rather than assume it can't happen. In addition, I recommend that you put your "thinking cap" on to explore the possibilities. The circumstance you find yourself in right now is really important to your near and longterm future. "Where there's the will, there's the way." Most of us offer free, if limited, consultations. Take advantage of that; talk to as many attorneys as you need to to determine what your options may be, what the likely consequences may be, and whether there is a suitable attorney with whom you can make an acceptable arrangement for payment. You haven't indicated the weight of weed involved which is the main remaining unknown in terms of risk. Regardless of the weight, this is an extremely important event for your future. Get to work doing something that will help.
You certainly could go to jail. The likelihood depends upon whether you are convicted of simple possession or intent to deliver. If it is intent to deliver, the weight is very important. I do not view this as definite jail time, even if convicted of intent to deliver, unless this is an extreme amount. Many things will factor into this. Contact an attorney to discuss this further.
Michael L. Doyle
(215) 900-5565
This is not intended as individual legal advice and there is no attorney client relationship established by this answer. It is advisable that you seek individualized legal assistance. This is not a substitute for hiring an attorney.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleagues on this one. I also don't view this as an absolute jail sentence. Weight of the drugs is a big factor on whether or not you are incarcerated however, it isn't the only factor. You need an experienced attorney to help guide you in this case.

Chapter 4: Long Overdue : Part 6Mature
As Mathew took his revolver and placed it in the bin he turned to Cordelia. "Cordelia, could you please introduce us, so that we don't seem as invaders to this place?"
"Very well." She said, making her way up the stairs.
"She talks weird." Tim whispered to Al as he dropped his weapons in the bin as well.
"Shut up, this isn't the time to joke." He replied, as he looked around, noticing that there were several figures, hidden in the hallways that connected to the lobby-like room they occupied. "We're being watched constantly."
"I'd be afraid too... we're badass." Tim said, obviously trying to lighten the mood.
Alain couldn't help but laugh a bit at the last comment.
"Alright, game faces on." Mackenzie said as Cordelia opened the doors.
They stepped through into a short hall were they were frisked, afterward they entered the second set of doors which lead to a large dining room.
Several men walked toward them, all of them armed with swords. They wore black dress pants and black long sleeve turtle neck shirts.
"I count nine." Tim said, leaning toward Alain so that only he heard.
"Same, all with horrible fashion sense." Alain replied.
"We can do nine." Mathew started.
"If we play this right we won't have to." Mackenzie followed.
Ahead of them, a man entered the room from a set of doors on the opposite side. He wore a robe with a priests collar. He walked briskly and wore a stern expression on his unmasked face. "I am Reverend Osbourne. Firstly I would like to thank you for helping my young soldier, actions such as this have won you a very short audience. Speak now, ask what you will of my people and then be on your way, but know this: You will not be allowed anywhere near the college campus."
Cordelia stood forward and as she did so the nine men who surrounded them moved to compensate for her advance, their blades pointed at her.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Scars embroider his knees
like tally marks.
Remnants of an appropriately active
12-year-old's life.
The ring around his neck,
his mother never quite scrubbed away,
a forever stain banded black and blue.
Mortician's paint
should finally pat it clean.
Twin incisions cut deep and clean
across his chest above a third
plunging down the center of him,
together posed upon his skin
like questions unfurled
in hopes of closure.
Bending the bars of his rib cage
until they split wide,
a bone blossom unveiling
visceral petals,
a blush of stale humour.
His lungs are strong,
a certain shade of bubble gum,
and would have ballooned
just as well.
His heart is sufficiently volumed
for all the life still trapped in it,
seems too light to have succumbed
to 90-odd pounds plummeted.

Belem, Bus Through South America
Backpacking Eight Months On the Road
By David Rice
Page Fifteen
Belem, Backpacking by Bus In South America
Eight Months On the Road
By David Rice
Belem on the Amazon
Neat streets in a colonial grid pattern had me soon near the center of Belem and now the wide shady streets brought me some comfort.
Belem revealed itself as I approached the center of town as a people-friendly place, the first place in Central or South America, it turns out, to have pedestrian lights with a timing indicator. That is beyond fortuitous for the walker because on Belem's wide streets you need time and a warning when crossing.
In sophisticated Belem, senior citizens ride buses free with a card and although I did not have one, I usually ducked the fare.
Mango trees line the streets of Belem and are beautiful most of the year but when the fruit ripens, it drops constantly and you must take care. Luckily, they are not the huge type but they still hurt when one comes down on your head.
Belem also pioneered the style of restaurant that charges your meal by the weight of the food on your pate. An innovation that has flourished.
Belem offered a stark contrast to the many undeveloped cities and villages that I had passed through in Central and South America and I enjoyed the one-time center of rubber production.
Great fish markets selling salt water and fresh or brackish water fish and a farmers market made the downtown interesting.
Women in the market were gathered around huge sacks of Brazil nuts where they had the job of chipping off the shell of the nut with a machete.
Incredibly, they still had all their fingers. With a machete and some quick strokes, they were able to shell the nuts without damage to the meat within or to their fingers.
Colorful colonial buildings of Spanish design and an old fort on the river kept me busy between trips to Belem's great coffee shops.
Belem had the best coffee shops and pastry shops that I had found in all of my travels through Mexico, Central America, or South America. The pastry cakes were sweeter and more delicate than anywhere else on my trip. Mexico may have great breads but Belem has the finest pastries and also has lots of other good street food and some great markets on many of the streets: lots of prostitutes on the street as well.
In Belem I met many travelers who pass through this river crossroads including three backpackers from England who were looking for weed or any consumable herb.
The British invented independent travel and I met the intrepid Brits all along the way.
Colonial buildings in many colors throughout Belem's downtown attracted me and I stayed in the city for five days. Especially ragged and interesting were the fish markets and the docks where colorful boats were jammed into the small bay. Only about 100 yards on three sides, the fishing port was chock full of boats that were so closely packed that on ebb of the nine-foot tide they would lean against each other as they lay in the mud. When the fishermen on board were working their boats and cleaning their catch, they would dispose of the viscera right over the side and onto the water and eventually onto the mud. This smorgasbord of gory fish parts brewed a heck of a stink but it was sweet perfume to the vultures and scavenging wildlife that would swoop in to clean up.
The old section of Belem with its narrow cobble streets and decaying buildings, markets and its crowded sidewalks attracts tourists who walk to the old squares and to the old churches near the river.
I enjoyed this antique ambiance while watching the buses go in every direction. I was trying to get a handle on the long distance bus system that would take me to my next stop, Fortaleza. This turned out to be not an easy trip. I wanted to head south along the coast to see the beaches on the Atlantic north of Rio but getting there took some doing.
I had to get a bus first to an intermediate city, then another bus, and then get a collective cab, or Combi as shared taxis are called in Brazil. I finally made Fortaleza, an ocean-side city located on the Atlantic and my first beach on the way to Rio.
It would not be a quick trip to Rio, however, I would walk the sands of many a beach on the way.

BeschreibungSusan Branson examines the avenues through which women's presence became central to the competition for control of the nation's political life in the post-Revolutionary era.
PortraitSusan Branson teaches history at the University of Texas at Dallas.
Pressestimmen"An important book... A model of concise and elegant research and writing."-Journal of the Early Republic "Branson argues convincingly that, contrary to the claims of recent historians, women in the revolutionary era had an identity as women, that many of them were feminists in these years. This book contributes a great deal to the current debate about the meaning of the American Revolution for women."-Sheila Skemp, University of Mississippi "Branson's work removes women from the remote confines of the domestic sphere, where they have resided for so long, and propels them to the center of politics and life."-Historian

Our daughter, a keen cricketer both as a player at county level and a Coach decided she wanted to go to Australia to gain more coaching experience and to live her "Australian Dream" . Her decision to go with Sport Lived was the perfect choice. From the initial enquiry to making the booking and all the communications before travel made us feel at ease. On arrival in Melbourne she was met at the airport and taken to her accommodation.
To Rod, her mentor thank you to all the support you gave her whilst she was with Sport Lived. The whole experience has been fantastic for her. You organised her coaching placements, a team to play for and the amazing trips too.
Thank you and all at Sport Lived. As parents if asks we will be saying that the Sport lived experience is one we recommend.

A natural history of the two North American crane species. The sandhill crane is the most abundant species in the world, and familiar to most birdwatchers, with annual migrations that can number 500,000 individuals, yet the whooping crane numbers under two hundred, and is one of the world's rarest species. The author describes the species' breeding biology, migration and behaviour, and also presents an overview of the other thirteen species of crane in the world.
