If wandering around the interior of the castle is not to your taste, but do you like nature then come with us on a walk! This season we are organizing guided walks around the castle, where the familiar example of Baroque statues from the late 18th century have become an integral part of the local landscape. You'll learn more about the castle's fortifications and the Sternberg estate. Český Šternberk Castle has dominated the middle Posazavi area for 772 years, during which time the custodianship has been passed down through the Sternberg family for 20 generations. Tours will relate stories of ancestors who lived in the castle in the 19th and 20th century, and you'll be able to take a peek into their way of life. For example: you will find out how furniture and the interior were arranged; which were the fashionable decoration of the age; or what the first electricity supply looked like in 1911. 32 The tour will guide you through a wonderful collection of copper engravings from Thirty Years' War era; this is one of the largest monothematic collections of prints in Europe. The life of the Sternberg's and their castle comes to life on the 19th and 20th October 2013. Šternberg's employees, their families and friends re-enact the castle's residents and demonstrate how life in different eras was challenging, amusing and required courage, empathy, diplomacy, perspective and a sense of humour. From June to late August, the castle has an open exhibition of strollers. Not only will you see historical children's prams from 1860 to 1960s, but there are also dolls, babies' contemporary clothing, wraps, pads, samples of children's rooms and doll's tableware.

The Posázavský Pacific Zruč nad Sázavou Castle The first mention of Zruč nad Sázavou dates from 1328, but it is quite certain that the settlement is much older. You may already know that the Knights Templar built a castle on the rock above the river Sázava to guard the important trade route. The original wooden fortress was eventually replaced by a stone building, which was then later converted from a castle to chateau. In 1948 the castle was confiscated, and in 1989 returned to the descendants of the last owner. In 2003 ownership was taken by the city. 34 From 2006 to 2010, with the support of European funds, the chateau was lavishly restored and opened to the public. The castle is open from late April to late Sep- tember, every day from 10:00 to 17:00. Visitors can choose from two guided tours: visit the castle tower or visit the renovated interiors. Girls will love the permanent exhibition in the dolls and teddy bear museum, and boys will have fun in the moat on the Sir Miloty Kolowrata's trail. The Regional Museum offers an exhibition "From the Workbench to Bata" following the development of shoemaking craft in the city. Young visitors to Zruč nad Sázava will love the playground with ball bearing tracks and traffic play area. The playground is open daily and pedal cars can be rented.

A male exerciser was hit injured by barbells he was lifting at a local gym in Minhang District yesterday noon and has been discharged from hospital today, Xinmin Evening News reported.
Photos of a man lying flat beside a weight machine was widespread yesterday on Wechat, China's most popular social-networking app, with some claiming that the exerciser was hit by barbells in the head during training and died.
The gym reportedly refuted the rumor today, saying the exerciser suffered some face and shoulder bruises instead of any serious injuries.
The man was trying to lift a new weight which was much beyond his regular limit when the barbells lost balance and fell on him. He managed to push away the barbell with hands to protect himself from major head injuries, the report said.

35.2: Enough
"Don't say that," I told him.
"What else do you want me to say?" he asked.
I pursed my lips, "I don't know. It's been a long day."
"You know, when you left, I never expected this would be what you came back to," Wyatt chuckled sarcastically. "Don't think I'll want to come back anytime soon."
"Wyatt, I think you need to know something."
"What is it?"
"In the past few months, I actually found out a lot about my parents. And, well, some of it is a bit...shocking."
Wyatt raised his eyebrows, "Shocking? How so?"
"Well, let me start from the beginning…"
I took a deep breath, "I was born into the Order, and stayed there for five years until...something happened."
"You were born at the Castle!?" Wyatt's eyes bulged. "How did you not remember it?"
"I don't know. There's still a lot of pieces that I need to put together. For now, let me just tell you what I do know. When I was young, my parents were sent to Old Tenebris to figure out why the twilight was so much stronger here. So they came as they were told, and returned with Aunt Aurelia, who had lost her home weeks before they arrived."
"But Aurelia was out in the twilight too long. My parents didn't know she had become a Dweller before they brought her back to the Castle. Her instinct took over, and well...she attacked another Guardian."
"When they realized what happened, my parents tried to protect her. Their only option was to run, and so they grabbed me and fled from the Order. Eventually, the Guardians caught up to them, and to save my family, Celeste's father sacrificed himself."
"So that girl's had it out for you in the very beginning," Wyatt said.
I nodded, "At first, she held it all in. That was until I spoke to the Master last Duscan. He said he burned any records regarding the incident. When Celeste heard that my parents would be able to walk free, she snapped. By the time we caught up to her, Old Tenebris…"
Tears began to well up in my eyes, "You didn't deserve any of this. None of you did. I should've been here, Wyatt. I should've—"
Wyatt glared at me with daggers. I hadn't seen such a stern expression on him in such a long time. He was always the guy with the smile on his face, the best friend who knew how to lighten my mood.
"I'm not going to let you beat yourself up over this," he said sternly. "You might not let anyone notice, Elijah, but everyone can see it. You love to carry the blame, even when there's nothing you could do to change the situation. No one expects you to be perfect. Nothing could have prevented what happened years ago, especially a scared little five year-old. So drop it. No more dancing around what could have been, and start focusing on what is."
"It's for your own good Elijah. Trust me, the best way to live is in the present. You know what that feels like, because you've done it before."

We have just returned from a wonderful 2 weeks in Madeira staying at this villa ( 2 adults, 2 teenage boys). We chose the villa very carefully and were not disappointed. It had everything we needed to make it the perfect "home from home" which allowed us all to relax and unwind away from the busy corporate world which we usually inhabit. We cannot fault the villa at all (athough the teenagers were frustrated the wifi only worked in the downstairs area) & thoroughly enjoyed many lazy days and BBQ's by the pool, interspersed with some exploring of different parts of the island & sea .. the catamaran trip where we followed pods of dolphins was fantastic.
Overall the location was quiet, and the views out to see were spectacular but the local dogs did like to bark a lot at night! We found a great use for the lift in the villa - to use it to take all the supermarket shopping to the kitchen. 2 supermakets are very nearby and we found everything we wanted; and there are also some good restaurants nearby.. including one which also did take aways that was always busy ... we chose the take away option a couple of times.
We dont usually holiday in the same place twice because there are so many places to see in the world, but if we were to return to Madeira we would definately stay here again.

text: Three-time Canadian national champion Colton Facciotti was racing in his final event for the team at Pala. He wanted to make a statement heading into the off-season and he started the opening moto off the right way. He came around the opening lap in second place behind holeshot artist Mike Alessi. Colton stayed at the front briefly but lost a few spots to the title contenders who were charging for a number one plate. Colton settled into a good pace and finished the race in 8th. It was a good moto for Facciotti and he was feeling confident heading into the second moto. Unfortunately, he was involved in a first turn crash that left him with a sore back and a ringing in his head. He made the wise decision to retire to the pits and call it a day. It was an up-and-down day for Colton Facciotti. Tarah Gieger has had a very solid season. She has been a podium regular and had third place in the standings locked up for weeks. Tarah wanted to put a stamp on 2011 and she did it by stringing together two solid motos, leading for several laps and finishing second in the final race of the year. Congratulations to Tarah on an excellent series! Cole Seely had a rough day. In the first moto he tangled with two others riders off the start and went down. He raced hard the entire moto and passed his way into 11th by the motos end. He was really hoping to finish the season out with a podium finish, much like he did last year. He would have one more chance to do it in the second and final moto. But Cole gated poorly and spent the last 35 minutes of the season fighting for position deep in the pack. He crossed the line in 14th and scored 12th on the day. At seasons end the riders standings looked like this: Christian Craig finished sixteenth overall after missing several rounds due to injury. Cole Seely finished fourteenth in the competitive 250cc class. Tarah Gieger finished third in the WMX series. Travis Baker finished nineteenth after missing rounds with an injury. From supercross wins to disappointing injuries, the TLD team has run the gamut of results and emotions in 2011. "It's been a wild year," said team owner Troy Lee. "We have a great group of guys here and I'm proud of all of them. The wins in LA and Seattle were amazing and such an accomplishment for the team. We also had some tough races this summer but that's what makes those good weekends feel so good; that's why we work hard all week and race hard on the weekends. I'm proud of what this team accomplished this year and I'm already stoked for 2012." Troy Lee Designs would like to thank all of the fans that have supported the team throughout the year. It's been a fun year and 2012 is going to be even better. See you at the races!

The chairman of loss recovery specialist Lorega, Malcolm Harvey, has welcomed the fact that a competitor, DAS, has entered the loss recovery market.
Harvey said that he is a great believer in open market competition.
"Having established the loss recovery market some fifteen years ago we have been expecting a second player for some time now and, of course, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," he said.
"The impending DAS launch absolutely validates everything we have been doing since 1997 and will certainly create even more market and public awareness. From our perspective, this move by a major German insurer elevates Lorega and our product into mainstream insurance. It also demonstrates very clearly the growing need for an underwritten product that provides a loss adjuster to help commercial and HNW policyholders with their claims submission in the event of a major loss."

Report: Argyle 2 Fleetwood 1
Argyle 2
Wotton 25 (pen)
Banton 39
Fleetwood Town 1
Ball 75
by CHRIS PARSONS
PAUL Wotton's 65th goal for Plymouth Argyle could prove to be one of the most important of his career as his first-half penalty propelled Argyle to victory over Fleetwood Town.
A wise man once wrote, "when Wottsy hits 'em, they stay hit" and that was exactly what happened when he dispatched his 25th minute spot-kick after Conor Hourihane had gone down under challenge from Jon Parkin.
Jason Banton, the Pilgrims' star of recent weeks added the second with an unstoppable 25 yard strike as the Pilgrims coasted into half-time two goals to the good.
The second-half was still looking comfortable until David Ball pulled one back for the visitors with 15 minutes still to play.
As you might expect, the closing quarter of an hour was tense. But after Paul McKenna's late sending off, Argyle held on to secure a valuable three points.
The Pilgrims may not have scored against Bradford on Tuesday evening, but Argyle manager John Sheridan was impressed enough to stick with the same personnel.
The 4-5-1/4-3-3 system prevailed, too, allowing Jason Banton a free role behind lone striker Reuben Reid.
However, there was one change on the bench where the fit-again Rene Gilmartin replaced Ollie Chenoweth as reserve custodian.
Fleetwood had won 3-0 at Accrington Stanley on Tuesday night, but still opted for changes with Paul McKenna and Ryan Crowther replacing Gareth Evans and Anthony Barry for the Cod Army's first-ever game at Home Park.
The visitors' form was apparent from the off as David Ball sent a crashing volley just wide of Jake Cole's upright in the first five minutes.
But Argyle soon found their feet when a period of possession in the final third led to Andres Gurrieri's 30 yard drive deflecting narrowly over.
Fleetwood again worried Cole when Jon Parkin's speculative effort from range forced him into a good low save but just moments later it was Argyle who were ahead.
Gurrieri had looked a menace in the opening exchanges and when he slid in a pass for Banton, the on-loan winger saw his effort from just inside the area forced behind via an all important Jamie McGuire touch.
In came the corner, only for Parkin, who had been the reds' hat-trick hero in mid-week, to floor Conor Hourihane at the far post.
Referee Trevor Kettle was in little doubt and pointed straight to the spot. Banton picked up the ball ready to take the kick but after intervention from the bench, Wotton elected as the designated man.
The Home Park crowd roared as the man-and-boy Pilgrim stepped up and he did not disappoint, hammering his hometown club in front with a trademark net-ripping spot-kick.
Inevitably, in the few minutes following the goal, the tempo dropped a bit and both sides were forced to feed off hastily cleared long balls.
Banton had looked visibly disappointed to be taken off penalty duties but six minutes before half-time, he made amends and in spectacular style.
Using wisdom beyond his both years and experience, he dispossessed McKenna, made a beeline for goal and then unleashed a thunderous effort into the top left-hand corner from the edge of the D.
Argyle were now purring but still had some defending to do before the half was out and had Cole to thank for a tremendous reaction save from Junior Brown.
Attacking an in-swinging Ryan Crowther cross, Brown's late arrival in the box caught the Argyle unawares allowing the midfielder to chest the ball goalwards just five yards from goal.
But Cole, who looked already committed, just managed to stick out a leg to deflect the ball away and maintain his side's two goal lead.
Fleetwood had obviously been given a rocket at half-time and emerged from the break with renewed vigour.
First they forced Guy Branston into a hasty scrambled clearance before Cole again came to the rescue from a long range Crowther effort.
But Banton was still the main man for Argyle as time and time again he caused problems down the left flank.
But as the half went on, Fleetwood began to turn on the pressure and probably should have pulled one back when an unmarked McGuire nodded Alan Goodall's cross wide of the goal.
Paris Cowan-Hall and Nick Chadwick were added to the action with 20 minutes remaining as Argyle looked to maintain their advantage but they had barely had a touch when David Ball capitalised on Branston's miscued headed clearance to reduce the arrears.
The pressure and nerves were now building around the ground as Fleetwood piled bodies forward and causing Argyle to retreat further and further towards their own goal.
But with five minutes remaining, the game changed once more when McKenna picked up his second yellow card for a foul on Cowan-Hall.
The dismissal came just at the right time for Argyle and the worst time for Fleetwood, who were now not quite so gun-ho in the sorties forward.
Handbags in injury time just should probably have resulted in a red card for Parkin, who having just been booked, decided to push Banton to the floor with play at a halt.
Referee Kettle gave him a last warning, though, as four nervy minutes of stoppage time ensued.
John Sheridan had said that this was a must win match. Job done.
Argyle (4-5-1):
1 Jake Cole; 4 Maxime Blanchard, 15 Paul Wotton, 5 Guy Branston, 14 Onsimor Bhasera; 27 Andres Gurrieri (7 Paris Cowan-Hall 72), 10 Lee Cox, 19 Jason Banton, 6 Conor Hourihane (capt), 18 Joe Bryan; 24 Reuben Reid (9 Nick Chadwick 72).

I didn't know why I had done it, but right now I didn't care. His lips on mine was all I needed, and I was still reeling from the outstanding feeling of him drinking my blood. We had been one, caught in a moment, together, equal.
Almost without thinking I felt my hands slide up his chest, unbuttoning his shirt as I did so. His torso was gorgeous, strong and muscled. I took a moment to stare before I kissed either side of his chest. He unbuttoned the rest of my shirt, sliding it off and throwing it to the floor. We kissed again, and I felt his hands sliding around my back to the clasp of my bra. Then he stopped.
"It's too soon." I was about to protest, but then I nodded slowly.
"Perhaps, yes. Perhaps you are right." He smiled and hooked his finger under my chin, kissing me again. For several minutes we remained like this, and then the bell went off. "Drat," I said, pulling away. "We have to go."
"Unfortunately." He picked up mine and his shirt and we dressed. Then, after kissing me one last time he left, changing in to a fly so he could slip out un noticed.
I laughed. He was too perfect. I brushed my hair, touched up my make up and then left the room as if nothing had happened. Which technically it hadn't. Such a gentleman. And the promise of tomorrow still hung in the air. The library, then class, and then perhaps a few snatched moments alone. I shuddered with anticipation and headed for my next lesson.

Now that the Republican National Convention is over it's time for Americans to sit back and watch the science fiction series to be aired next week, aka the Democratic National Convention!
From start to finish you can be sure that Hillary Clinton, her political cronies, shills and friends in the biased and complicit mainstream media will be alleging that Donald Trump and the Republican Party are nothing short of Satan Incarnate!
With that in mind the card below has what can be projected to be some of the most common words and phrases that will be uttered by anyone behind the microphone, Hillary Clinton herself along with many of those who sit in front of the camera commentating.

If the phrase does not match perfectly but the idea is mostly the same, count it.

The 2013 Cognac Cask Finish is the second release in the line featuring two separate agings, first for 11 months in American Oak (presumably ex-bourbon) and the second for 3 months in French Oak cognac casks. Interestingly, the total of 14 months would normally qualify this as an anejo tequila but it is officially classified as a reposado.

How exfoliating your face might be harming the earth!
If you like the feeling of gently exfoliating your face, then chances are you've used products with microbeads.
Big companies like Proctor & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson have been replacing harsh ingredients like pumice with these little plastic beads for a while now.
And though your skin may like them, the Earth does not.
We now know that these tiny beads are too small to be sifted out of water filtration plants, and that means these tiny spherical cleansers are ending up in lakes and oceans.
Nobody knows how much damage these little things could eventually do, but there are already several states calling for a ban on face washes that contain them. (Time)

Sweet Potato Baked Oatmeal
Sweet Potatoes are one of the seasonal items I most look forward to. The sweet potato helps to bind these bakes together, and provides a creamy texture that is excellent against the chewy rolled oats.
Aside from the pie-like taste they add, sweet potatoes also pack a ton of nutrients. They are rich in Vitamins B6, C, D, and are good sources of iron and magnesium.

|Reviews for Memories
| Nadtya Morozova chapter 1 . 2/2/2007
Absolutely superb! I must admit though, I am a little jealous, because I myself have a fan fic along the same lines. It just goes to show that great minds think alike. You really have a talent for story telling and this piece probably is one of the better ones. Please, I hope you'll continue
| La Flamingo chapter 1 . 11/25/2006
"For every Mahatma Ghandi there are a thousand Michael Collins'."
What I like about this piece is that is it not decriptive in the normal sense...it reads as a prologue, and probably in the purest sense, it is. You show the unseen problems with breaking from the Prozium and show how-amid a world that some think NEED feelings- human emotion can be the very thing that drives humans, being the fragile creatures they are, into a deeper madness than predicted.
I like it. It's darker, doesn't end on a happy note and yet...is probably more realistic than some of the other stories floating about here.
Way to go. Are you going to continue?

It's no secret that the Pacific Northwest is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts and individuals leading (or trying to lead) an active lifestyle. That's why the new set of rules on employer wellness programs proposed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is worth the attention of Washington employers.
Most people understand that a "wellness program" is designed to encourage employees to live healthier lifestyles, often focusing on eating "better," exercising, quitting smoking or even just completing a health risk assessment to help figure out what their next steps should be. Employers have a huge incentive in seeking healthier employees in their workforce because a healthy workforce means reduced healthcare costs. As these programs have become more popular, employers have expressed concerns about implementing them for fear that they could run afoul of the Americans with Disabilities Act's (ADA) general prohibition on collecting medical information from employees. The ADA allows such gathering of information if it is done as part of a "voluntary" employee health program, but the EEOC has been silent on whether employers could offer incentives to employees to induce them into engaging in such programs. For example, could an employer offer cash prizes to the worker who wins the "Biggest Loser" weight loss competition or quits smoking? The good news is that the EEOC has now offered significant guidance on what compliant wellness programs should look like.
In the article, Chris discusses how the proposed rules offer much-needed, significant guidance on what compliant wellness programs should look like. Chris advises employers keep to in mind that the proposed rule is not finalized yet, so there is time to get into compliance. It's never too early for Washington employers to start thinking about how to structure their wellness programs to match and encourage employees' active and healthy lifestyles.
