It's been an interesting past few months…
Firstly, I had surgery on my shoulder in August, a procedure I potentially needed prior to The Ultimate Triathlon but for obvious reasons, didn't have done.
What I thought was simply going to be just a quick and simple "clean up job" well, wasn't. I had a lot of inflamed tissue removed, bursa taken out (apparently it will grow back) with some of my acromion (part of shoulder joint) shaved off.
Posing post operation
On top of this, the nerve block I had during surgery wore off quicker than expected, so I was experiencing excruciating pain once the general anaesthetic stopped working.
I then had a reaction to the pain killers I took while at home, which led to me convulsing at 2am, and a 999 call from Vanda my girlfriend, followed up with a trip to A&E in the back of an ambulance.
Several hours waiting to see a doctor…
After several hours without a visit from a doctor who could administer some much needed pain relief, I braved a 30-minute cab ride to the hospital where I had the surgery.
Let's just say the morphine I was given hit the spot…
Scotland was next, and although not great timing, I went there with an arsenal of recovery tools. Ice packs, painkillers, and my arm in a sling. I was on there to crew for a good mate of mine, in his attempt to swim a Loch Lomond two-way, a cool 70km swim.
Adrian and the one armed Aussie…
After setting off in near perfect conditions at 2am, post dawn not only provided a natural light, but also the wrath of Mother Nature. The wind picked up, and created a rolling swell, I'd never seen anything like it before.
The weather got the better of Adrian after nine hours of swimming, four of those battling fierce winds. I've never seen anyone battle for so long while swimming, I'm very proud of his gallant effort!
I then headed to Chamonix in the French Alps, to help another mate (Tiny) prepare, and complete his first ever mountain triathlon. I had planned to race this event as well, but with only one working arm, I spent the days settling his nerves, and tapping away on my laptop working in the crisp mountain air.
The PRC Crew in Chamonix crewing for "Tiny"
Then in September, The Ultimate Triathlon Documentary was ready to be shown to the world. Screenings started in London, before being shown in four countries across three continents; something I've very proud of, as I organised the screenings with just a little help from a few people.
The screenings started with the World Premiere at the historic, and beautiful Olympic Cinema. It then bounced around the UK, complete with an appearance in Belfast on the emerald Isle.
The Ultimate Triathlon Family at The World Premiere
A whirlwind three weeks only picked up more steam when the film and myself flew over the Atlantic, landing in LA mid October. Everyone who attended the North American Premiere absolutely loved it!
What a surreal experience seeing the crew and myself up on the big screen in Los Angeles.
Alongside a few meetings, some speaking engagements, and several interviews that were organised prior to me jumping on a jet plane, I managed to soak up some autumn sunshine as well.
For the remainder of 2016, which has been very much a year to reflect on what I've achieved, while transitioning into the next stage of my life, post Ultimate Triathlon; I've been focussing on just two projects.
The first is very exciting, as it's my next BIG challenge that I'll be completing in 2017. After spending 2016 overcoming many obstacles to do with my health, and a massive adventure I was to be part of falling through, I'm excited to reveal what it is I'll be doing next at some stage during November.
I believe, it's even crazier than The Ultimate Triathlon.
I've also taken this opportunity to team up with an amazing charity close to my heart, raising some serious cash to help as many people as we can.
All very cryptic I know, but stay tuned for more information…
And Secondly, I've been busily completing the first draft to a book I've been writing about the journey that has been my life. All the ups and downs alongside plenty of juicy stories about all the adventures I've been on will hopefully be a fun and inspirational read for all.
It will be out next year, so watch this space for details.
I'm being extremely open with my writing, and have revealed many struggles I've faced during parts of my life that I've kept hidden away from everyone.
This has led to some extremely emotional days tapping on my keyboard, and me getting very much out of my comfort zone.
But, I'm finding that although difficult, pushing myself through this discomfort a little more each and every day has helped me to understand myself, and life a little more, while enabling a new level of growth in my life.

Moors murderer Ian Brady hospitalised with a broken hip after a fall
MOORS murderer Ian Brady was in hospital last night after breaking his hip in a fall.
The child killer, 76, fractured two bones after stumbling at Ashworth Hospital, the Merseyside psychiatric unit he has been held in for 30 years.
He is believed to be at Liverpool's Aintree University Hospital.
A spokesman for Ashworth described his condition as stable.
It has been revealed recently that Brady is showing signs of dementia.
It is feared that even if he were willing to reveal where he buried 12-year-old victim Keith Bennett on Saddleworth Moor, Greater Manchester, he may not be able to remember.
Last year Brady, who has been on hunger strike, lost a legal bid to be transferred to a prison in Scotland so he could starve himself to death.
He and Myra Hindley tortured and killed five children and were jailed for life in 1966.
Hindley died in 2002 aged 60.

Had a great time! Would stay here again.
Our stay was 12/28/16 - 1/4/17. Our party of 8, 2 families of 4, had a wonderful time at this home. Description of property is very accurate. Very private location. You have to have a car to stay here. The house was very clean, and was perfect for us. We loved snorkeling from their pier, and even if the water seemed a bit rough (not every day), the current conditions were not bad for swimming. Very pretty coral! The beach is not your clean white sand at a resort, but was very enjoyable. The only issue I had with the house (reason for 4 stars) is that I slept in the master suite and at night I love the windows open to listen to the ocean and you cannot open the sliders at all, they are completely caulked on the outside and the room has no windows so we had to have A/C on. I think overall weather is hit or miss, 5 of our 7 days were windy and 2 were not. The 2 that weren't were buggy and the other 5 weren't. But you are in a tropical location so bugs are to be expected. We enjoyed the deck everyday and wonderful stargazing at night. I have to say, overall the house was very nice and I would definitely recommend staying there.
We just loved this house. We visited for Spring break 2016 we had a total of 8 people, 4 adults and 4 children ages 11-15. The place was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone, so nice quiet and secluded. The kids just loved the pier and the reef just off the beach to explore by snorkeling over it. It was such a relaxing vacation we did not want to return. You will need to rent a car to stay here, but the area was great, near Rum Point, the Crystal Caves, we used Tortuga Divers in Morritts only a 10 minute drive away. Georgetown was about 45 minutes away, but one day in there was more than enough. Just packed with cruise ship visitors. The house was very well equipped, the beds were comfortable we had everything we needed right there. You could easily cook all your meals here if you wanted. We had breakfast and lunch in and sampled the local restaurants for dinner. Just a great trip all around, I highly recommend this house, it is even better in person than you can see in the pictures.
This house was beautiful. We were unfortunate in our timing, as it was very windy at the house our entire stay. We were unable to use the beach or sit outside during our visit. The beaches were covered in seaweed so thick, we couldn't walk the beach either. Our second night there, the power went out for 5 hours and we weren't able to sleep in the stifling heat. The next day, it was off and on, as well. And every night, I'd wake up around 12:30 am because the a/c in the master was reset to 80 degrees and I'd have to adjust it.
It felt a little stingy that only a partial roll of paper towel was provided and we weren't aware that no cleaning supplies would be there unless discussed prior to our stay. Also, we had two flat tires with our rental vehicles due to the numerous nails and screws found in the parking area. We picked up a few handfuls of them and threw them away to help future visitors. One of the dining chairs is unraveling and my father sliced his finger on an exposed rusty nail. I'm usually not one to complain, as I love VRBO and have used it many times, but this was my least favorite stay through the site.
Fortunately, the weather was amazing on the other side of the island, so we drove over there daily to enjoy the beaches and attractions.
I still gave the home 3 stars instead of less and I'm sure most of our trip would have been different if not for the weather. Also, the views from the home were amazing. We only wish we could have gone outside to enjoy it more!
We took a family vacation and stayed here for a week. WOW and WOW! Location location location. This house was perfect in every way. The size and layout was great. The waterfront location is stunning. Beautiful views. We loved that it is on the north side of the island it makes it very private but had lots to do in the area without all the tourist. The house is very comfortable and has everything you could need. We had 7 adults and 3 small children and had plenty of space. The water was great and the location made snorkeling very easy and lots of sea life to enjoy. it was far from the big towns but we really enjoyed taking the drive into town it's an easy commute. One feature we really enjoyed was going to Starfish Pointe the beaches there are spectacular. As well as going to Rum Pointe, very fun place. Great house and manager was very accommodating. Our family made great memories and we will be back to Castaway Cove! Loved the house and island!

While the standard candy potato is full of well being benefits of its own, the purple candy potato is even better for us.

I wanna be a photographic beast!2
Taking my friend's engagement photos is a whole lot different than just going with the flow. My two best friends who wanted me to do a couples shoot for them wasn't anything serious and the photos came out perfect! I felt free in taking shots in every possible angle; going where no wedding or engagement photographer would go. I would lay down on the ground, crouch, bend over backwards, and jump for that perfectly insane shot.
Short story about myself, I graduated high school with a 3.0 GPA and set out to become a nurse at the university. Two years and $10,000 in scholarship funds later, that didn't quite turn out how I thought it would. My parents don't think photography is "real career," so I took up medical laboratory technology as an easy way out. Having graduated with an Associate degree in Science, I still don't have a passion for the medical field as I do with cameras and photography. This world is so beautiful and my only wish is that people would see what I see. That's the main reason why my first camera was the Fisheye 2 (White Knight edition). If you could just step back, jump up….maybe do a backflip and see the world at a different angle and cherish it's beauty and wonders, maybe you'd appreciate it more than to take advantage of it, try to make it your own, and trash it with your pollution.
Sometimes I question if I'm more interested in the photos each camera takes or the camera design itself. My friends who see me with a different camera each week ask me, "Why film?" There's just something about vintage and analogue film that I simply can't explain. It's the camera. It's the film. It's the moment of capturing the perfect portrait and it's the expectation and excitement of the mystery of how the image will turn out. It's at that moment I'm truly myself. I can freely be me. I'm spontaneously random. I'm passionate. I'm original. And so is the Lomo LC-A. It's what started it all — Lomography. A society of people who are just as original and passionate about their love for cameras and photography as I am. I kept buying camera after camera but each one couldn't satisfy my hunger. The Konica C35 EF is close but no cigar. The point and shoot cameras had no range and their photo results were even more so. I'd do anything for the original Lomo LC-A+ but sadly my budget is not ready for that camera. Ironically, the price of all my cameras combined plus the cost of process and developing could buy me three LC-As (or two LC-Ws hint hint), but I was impatient and just had to have the others. Still, nothing compared to the Lomo LC-A+. If I had that camera I would become a photographic beast taking the camera everywhere I go. I already do that, but with the LC-A+ it's way better. Knowing I have an LC-A+, I would show everyone how beautifully imperfect our world is.

Lena Headey Gets Her Point Across in 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' Clip
Lena Headey's Lady Catherine isn't above using brute force to her point in this new clip from "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."
In the scene, Lady Catherine — accompanied by the imposing Wilhelm (Ryan Oliva) — attempts to make Lily James' defiant Elizabeth Bennet promise she won't become romantically involved with Mr. Darcy. But Lady Catherine probably didn't envision her late-night visit ending with Wilhelm in a crumpled heap on the floor.
Based on Seth Grahame-Smith bestselling parody novel of the same name, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is set in a post-apocalyptic 19th-century England overrun by the undead. There, Elizabeth Bennet, a master of weaponry and the martial arts, who must unite with Mr. Darcy (Sam Riley) to rid their country of the zombie menace, and to discover their love for one another.
Directed by Burr Steers, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" also stars Jack Huston, Bella Heathcote, Douglas Booth, Matt Smith and Charles Dance. The film opens Feb. 5.

All around Australia, cafes, pubs and restaurants are cooking pulled pork.
From pulled pork sliders to pulled pork nachos, it's the new rage. However, how many are capturing that great smokey profile?
If you own a Yoder YS Pellet Grill, then you are ahead of the rest!
Cooking Pulled Pork for you should be an absolute breeze & the results, just like the competition BBQers cook in the US!
BBQ Smoker Pulled Pork
The below recipe is from Grillpro.com.au
Start with a Pork Shoulder prepared Boston Butt style (Large bone left in, small bones removed, skin off and fat trimmed off ) Berkshire is one of the best we have in Australia.
You will probably have to finish trimming it yourself to remove the rest of the fat
Inject the Pork Shoulder with Mad Hunky Pork Brine, Apple Juice or Apple Cider (until it wont take any more)
Apply a little American Yellow Mustard & sprinkle with Mad Hunky General Purpose Rub (or a BBQ rub of your choice)
Cover your Heat Management Plate with Alfoil & insert your Heavy Duty Chrome Cooking Grates.
Set your Yoder to 225F / 105C.
Take out & place on at least 2 large sheets of Alfoil
Apply Brown Sugar & Honey to the top of the Pork, tightly wrap & place back into the Yoder.
When you can slide a skewer into the Pork as easily as you would into soft butter (internal temperature of around 203F) it is finished cooking & should be placed into an empty Esky with the lid on to rest, still wrapped in Alfoil.
Rest for between 1 – 2 hours.
After resting place in a dish & use Meat Rakes to "Pull" the Pork.
The Pulled Pork should have a lovely gentle smoky aroma.
This delicious smokey pulled pork can be enjoyed with a beutiful fresh garden salad and is delicious in a brioche bun with an asian-style coleslaw! Enjoy!

On April 2016, the FareCompare.com team documented the Southwest Effect – the drop in airline ticket prices when the Texas-based carrier enters a new market – on fares from the U.S. to newly-served international beach destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America that began in 2014 and continued in 2016. In that study, FareCompare reported a consistent drop in fares that U.S. consumers have become accustomed to when Southwest enters new markets, concluding that Southwest's expansion into these destinations spurred an across-the-board increase in competition. Overall, this has been a win for ever price-conscious U.S. fliers.
As airfare analyst and FareCompare CEO Rick Seaney has previously stated: "The Southwest Effect is about competition and what happens when more airlines go head-to-head on the same routes."
FareCompare is now taking its initial Southwest Effect data a step further to answer this question:
Have International Travelers Flying from the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America to U.S. Destinations Enjoyed Cheaper Flights?
No major savings for travelers flying to the the United States from these new destinations, unlike what FareCompare saw for those travelers who originated in the U.S.
The average lowest prices have fluctuated and are close to the same levels they were when Southwest entered these international beach destinations.
The Methodology
Southwest Effect II: Airlines and Cities
FareCompare analyzed data from the following origin cities:
- Belize City, Cancun, Liberia (Costa Rica), Mexico City, Montego Bay, Puerto Vallarta, San Jose del Cabo (Mexico) and San Jose (Costa Rica)
Then priced flights from those origins to these destination cities:
- Atlanta, Boston, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Denver, Houston, New York and Washington, D.C.
Fares were compared for these airlines:
- Aeromar, Aeromexico, Alaska, Frontier, Interjet, JetBlue, Spirit, Sun Country, Tropic Air and Virgin America.
Note: Delta was not included, nor was Southwest which only releases prices on its proprietary website.
Other factors included in the collected data:
- Non-stops and one-stop flights
- Round-trip fares only
- Length of stay: Between 4 and 14 days
- Point of Sale: Outside the U.S.
Advance purchase: Between 14 and 34 days
The first analysis compared 72,847 airfare searches the first quarter
2015 with 249,911 airfare searches in the first quarter of 2016 to determine if baseline price changes had occurred. The second analysis compared a total of 1,411,990 airfare searches from January 2015 through June 2016, using the same filters applied to the first analysis.
The Bottom Line
The Southwest Effect did not stick in reciprocal markets.
Southwest Effect II: Airfares Rise, Fall, Rise
2015 Q1 – Jan. to March
At the outset of Southwest's international service to the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, the average low price across markets and all carriers (excluding Delta and Southwest) was $605.
2015 Q2 – April to June
Average prices across these markets decreased $50 to $555 as Spirit Airlines began providing service across most markets. JetBlue also expanded service from Liberia, Montego Bay and San Jose while Aeromexico expanded service from Mexico City to multiple U.S. markets.
2015 Q3 – July to September
Average prices continued to decline to $533 as American, US Airways (before its merger with American) and United align pricing downward under combined seasonality and market pressure. Smaller airlines and low cost carriers chipped in with lower prices too, led by Spirit and Frontier at an average low price for this quarter of $449/454 – undercutting the across-the-board average of $533 by around 16%. Alaska and Virgin America continue to hold up the high end of the price band in the over-$700 range.
2015 Q4 – October to December
Prices rise a bit to $572, likely reflecting holiday demand for these origins. While average low prices for JetBlue stall at $459, Spirit and Frontier bring their own prices down to $427 and $341 respectively. However, United, American and Aeromexico fares appear to be much more broadly available. This is the last month US Airways fares are independent from American.
2016 Q1 – January to March
Average low prices drop only slightly to $564 compared to the prior quarter, but they are cheaper by $41 (7%) than the same quarter in 2015. Frontier continues to hold down the lowest-price position at an average low fare of $374, again followed by Spirit at $432.
2016 Q2 – April to June
Average low prices across carriers return to $603, approaching the $605 price point of the first quarter of 2015. During this quarter, Frontier appears to retrench to Cancun origins only, while American prices rise to $552, the highest seen for this period of analysis. Alaska has the highest average-low fare at a whopping $1,176, while Spirit and JetBlue hold the low positions at $444 and $479 respectively.

John, the son of Zebedee, was called along with this brother James ("the Great") to be one of Jesus' twelve apostles who would accompany him on his ministry. John appears in the lists of apostles in the synoptic gospels as well as Acts. John and his brother James were given the nickname "Boanerges" (sons of thunder) by Jesus; some believe this was a reference to their tempers. Although younger than James, he appears to have first been a disciple of John the Baptist before following Jesus.

John has been an important figure for Christianity because he is believed to have been the author of the fourth (non-synoptic) gospel, three canonical letters, and the book of Revelations. Most scholars no longer attribute all (or any) of this to an original companion of Jesus, but that doesn't change John's stature for historical Christianity.

John, along with his brother James, is portrayed in the gospels as perhaps being more important than most of the other apostles. He was present at the resurrection of Jarius' daughter, at Jesus' transfiguration, and at the Garden of Gethsemane before Jesus was arrested. John is one of the first apostles to believe that Jesus had risen from the dead and one of the first to recognize him standing at the shore of Lake Genesareth.

Paul later describes John as a "pillar" of the Jerusalem church. Other than a few references to him in the New Testament, however, we have no information about who he was or what he did. Tradition has it that Polycarp, one of the earliest church fathers and a bishop of Smyrna, as personally trained by John. This story is used to advance the idea that there was a direction connection between early church leaders, the apostles, and therefore Jesus himself.

Christian legend says that he moved to Ephesus with the Virgin Mary and both died there from old age, which would make him one of the few apostles not believed to have been martyred for his faith. Mormons teach that John never really died at all but is instead waiting for Jesus' Second Coming.

Thomas, also known as Judas Thomas Didymus or Jude Thomas Didymus, was one of Jesus' twelve apostles and is included in each of the four apostolic lists. Thomas is also called Didymus (the twin) each of the three times he appears in the Gospel According to John. Thomas doesn't do much in the synoptic gospels but becomes important towards the end of John. Thomas agrees with Jesus about returning to Judea despite the dangers and protests during the Last Supper that they really don't know what's going to happen to him.

Thomas is most famous for how he is depicted in the Gospel According to John. He first appears as a symbol of strength, encouraging the others to follow Jesus to Judea where death awaits. Later he expresses doubts about following Jesus. Finally, after Jesus' resurrection, he is the "doubting Thomas" who refused to believe that Jesus really returned until he saw the scars and placed his fingers in Jesus' side.

Some Christian legends have Thomas being the only witness to the Virgin Mary being assumed bodily up into heaven. Origen says that Thomas went to evangelize to the Parthians, but evidence suggests that he may have gone much further -- all the way to India. When Catholic missionaries first arrived in India, they found a Christian community already there which they attributed to the evangelistic work of Thomas.

Philip is listed as one of Jesus' apostles in all four apostolic lists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Acts. He plays the largest role in John and appears little in the other gospels. The name Philip means "lover of horses." Writings attributed to Philip the Apostle played an important role in the development of early Christian Gnosticism. Gnostic Christians cited Philip's authority as justification for their own beliefs via the apocryphal Gospel of Philip and the Acts of Philip.

Philip is described in the Gospel According to John as being skeptical at first about following Jesus, only agreeing to do so after Nathanael tells him the Jesus is the Messiah. Philip is depicted as pragmatic other times as well and he is the one approached by Greeks seeking to speak with Jesus. It is possible that Philip was originally a follower or disciple of John the Baptist because John depicts Jesus calling Philip out of a crowd attending John's baptisms.

One Christian legend says that Philip and Bartholomew were crucified by the pagan governor of a city in Phrygia after he killed a serpent, but an earthquake caused the people to demand the release of the two apostles. Bartholomew survived, but Philip didn't make it. Another story says that Philip married, had children, and was buried in Hieropolis with his daughters -- both still virgins. If virginity was such a prize that they thought it important, why did Philip take the virginity of the woman he married?

Every story needs a villain and Judas Iscariot fills this role in the gospels. He is the apostle who betrays Jesus and helps the Jerusalem authorities arrest him. Judas may have enjoyed a privileged position among Jesus' apostles -- John describes him as the band's treasurer and he is often present at important times. John also describes him as a thief, but it seems implausible that a thief would have joined such a group or that Jesus would have made a thief their treasurer.

Some read Iscariot to mean "man of Kerioth," a city in Judea. This would make Judas the only Judean in the group and an outsider. Others argue that a copyist error transposed two letters and that Judas was named "Sicariot," a member of the party of the Sicarii. This comes from the Greek word for "assassins" and was a group of fanatical nationalists who thought that the only good Roman was a dead Roman. Judas Iscariot could have been, then, Judas the Terrorist.

Judas Iscariot is known as the companion of Jesus who betrayed him -- but what and how did he betray? That isn't clear. He points out Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. This is hardly an action worthy of payment because Jesus wasn't exactly in hiding. In John, he doesn't even do that much. Judas doesn't actually do anything except fulfill the narrative and eschatological need for the Messiah to be betrayed by someone.

Judas Iscariot filled a necessary literary and theological role in the gospels by betraying Jesus. Someone had to do it and Judas was picked. It's questionable whether Judas even acted of his own free will. There was no option for Jesus not to be executed because without his crucifixion, he could not rise again in three days and thus save humanity. To be executed, though, he had to be betrayed to the Jewish authorities -- if Judas hadn't done it, someone else would have.

Since Judas Iscariot did something so critical and necessary for Jesus' mission, why is he reviled? Why isn't he also a saint? If Judas loved Jesus as much as the other apostles, wasn't his job much harder than theirs? According to John, Jesus said "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends," but didn't Judas do something very similar by sacrificing himself and his reputation in order to help Jesus fulfill prophecy?

Peter was one of the most important of Jesus' twelve apostles. Peter is known as Simon Peter, the son of Jona (or John) and brother of Andrew. The name Peter comes from the Aramaic term for "rock" and Simon comes from the Greek for "hearing." Peter's name appears on all of the lists of apostles and his being called by Jesus appears in all three synoptic gospels as well as Acts. these texts are the only accounts of his life from this time period and are thus the most reliable source of information about him.

Most of Jesus' twelve apostles remain largely silent through the gospels; Peter, however, is often depicted speaking. He is the first to confess that Jesus is the Messiah; he is also the only one depicted actively denying Jesus later on. In the Acts of the Apostles, Peter is depicted as traveling widely to preach about Jesus.

The years of Peter's birth and death are unknown. Christian tradition has it that Peter died in Rome during the persecution of Christians around 64 CE under emperor Nero. Archaeological digs have uncovered what might be a shrine to Peter under St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, a shrine that could conceivably have been built over his grave. Traditions about Peter's martyrdom in Rome were instrumental in the development of the idea of the primacy of Rome's Christian church.

Andrew, whose Greek name means "manly," was one of Jesus' twelve apostles. The brother of Simon Peter and son of Jona (or John), Andrew's name appears on all of the lists of apostles and his being called by Jesus appears in all three synoptic gospels as well as Acts. Andrew's name comes up multiple times in the gospels -- the Synoptics show him at the Mount of Olives and John describes him as a one-time disciple of John the Baptist.

Andrew appears to have been part of an inner circle among the disciples -- only he and three others (Peter, James, and John) were on the Mount of Olives with Jesus when he foretold the destruction of the Temple and then received a lengthy discourse on the End Times and coming apocalypse. Andrew's name is also among the first on apostolic lists, possibly an indication of his importance in early traditions.

The Acts of St. Andrew, an apocryphal work from the 3rd century, says Andrew was arrested and executed in 60 CE while preaching on the northwest coast of Achaia. A 14th-century tradition says he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, lasting for two days before dying. Today there is an X on Great Britain's flag representing Andrew, patron saint of Scotland.

James, the son of Zebedee, was called along with this brother John to be one of Jesus' twelve apostles who would accompany him on his ministry. James appears in the lists of apostles in the synoptic gospels as well as Acts. James and his brother John were given the nickname "Boanerges" (sons of thunder) by Jesus; some believe this was a reference to their tempers.

James, along with his brother John, is portrayed in the gospels as perhaps being more important than most of the other apostles. He was present at the resurrection of Jarius' daughter, at Jesus' transfiguration, and at the Garden of Gethsemane before Jesus was arrested.

Other than a few references to him in the New Testament, however, we have no information about who James was or what he did. One Christian legend says that King Herod had him executed by a sword, but there is no evidence of his occurring. Other Christian legends say that James traveled to and evangelized in Hispania.

James was one of the apostles who sought power and authority above the others, something that Jesus reproached him for: And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. (Mark 10: 35-40)

This James does not appear to be called "the Great" because he learned well this lesson from Jesus. Instead, he's called "the Great" to distinguish him from the other James (the Lesser, the Just) and because he was one of the first disciples called by Jesus to follow him.

Matthew is recorded as one of Jesus' original disciples in all four gospels and in Acts. In the gospel of Matthew he is described as a tax collector; in parallel accounts, however, the tax collector Jesus encounters is named "Levi." Christians have traditionally thought that this was an example of a double naming.

Christian tradition has generally taught that the Gospel According to Matthew was written by Matthew the apostle, but modern scholarship had discredited this. The gospel text displays enough sophistication in terms of theology and Greek that it is most likely the product of a second-generation Christian, probably a convert from Judaism.

Not much information about Matthew the apostle is contained in the gospels and his importance for early Christianity is dubious. The author of the Gospel According to Matthew, however, has had a great deal of importance for the development of Christianity. The author relied heavily on Mark's gospel and also drew from some independent traditions not found elsewhere.

Some Christian legends say that Matthew was martyred in Ethiopia, others that he was martyred in Parthia. There is no evidence for the truth of any of these traditions or even that Matthew would have been martyred at all anywhere.

In Aramaic, Bartholomew would probably have been something like "bar Telemai," and thus meant "son of Telemai," which could have been a form of the Greek name Ptolemais. Most think that Bartholomew is the same as the apostle Nathanael who appears in the Gospel of John; Bartholomew is a name that only appears in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Scholars have made this connection because both Bartholomew and Nathanael are always mentioned in the context of the apostle Philip.

In fact, being listed with Philip is just about the only thing Bartholomew does, aside from getting listed as one of the apostles who witnesses Jesus' ascension in Acts. It's only under the name Nathanael that he gets much of a role. According to the Gospel of John, Nathanael is depicted as being very skeptical that the long-awaited messiah could possibly be from Nazareth before he finally confesses that Jesus is the Son of God.

Some Christian legends say that after seeing the risen Jesus at the Sea of Tiberias, Bartholomew traveled to India and brought Christianity to the people there. Other legends say that he traveled with St. Jude Thaddeus, another of the twelve apostles, to Armenia to bring Christianity to the people there. These same legends say that Bartholomew was martyred in Armenia by being flayed alive and then crucified upside down.

Simon the Zealot, probably given this moniker in order to distinguish him from Simon Peter, may be the most obscure of all the twelve apostles -- and that's saying something, given how little some of them have to do in the gospels. Simon the Zealot appears in all the lists of twelve apostles in the synoptic gospels and in Acts (1:13), but that's it. No dialogue or acts are attributed to him anywhere in the gospels, in Acts, or in any of the epistles of the New Testament. The gospels also don't say anything about his background before becoming an apostle or the circumstances under which Jesus called him. It's as if he simply dropped off the face of the Earth.

Sometimes Simon the Zealot is referred to as Simon the Canaanite because the Hebrew root for zealot is qana and church father Jerome thought this mean Cana or Canaan. Thus he described Simon as coming from the town of Cana (the site of Jesus first miracle, when he transformed water into wine) or just more generally from the Canaan region.

Some Christian legends have Simon the Zealot traveling to Egypt to proselytize to the people there. Another has him making a missionary trip to Glastonbury and eventually being martyred in Lincolnshire with a saw.

Also sometimes known as Jude Lebbeus or just Thaddeus, Jude Thaddeus was the brother of another apostle, St. James the Less and he is the "mystery" apostle because he's the one the synoptic gospels disagree on. Mark and some versions of Matthew list him as Thaddeus; some versions of Matthew list him as Lebbeus; some versions of Matthew list him as Judas the Zealot; Luke lists him as Judas, son of James.

It is assumed that these are all the same person and it's reasonable to think that some confusion resulted from efforts to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot. Jude Thaddeus certain doesn't appear very often in the New Testament stories. He is depicted as asking Jesus why he doesn't appear before the whole world after his resurrection, but otherwise, he only shows up when the names of various apostles are listed. The Epistle of Jude was originally attributed to him, but modern scholars generally date this work to the first quarter of the 2nd century and was not likely written by someone who was an adult during the first quarter of the 1st century.

With so little scriptural information about Jude Thaddeus, legends quickly developed. There was much demand from early Christians details about what happens to Jesus' companions and Christian leaders complied. Some said that he was the bridegroom for the wedding at Cana. Others said that he traveled to places like Syria, Libya, and Mesopotamia to preach the gospel.

Some traditions say that he was martyred in Persia and that his body was placed in a crypt in St. Peter's Basilica. Other traditions say that he brought Christianity to Armenia with Saint Bartholomew and that he was martyred in Armenia. There is no independent evidence for any of this.

Thaddeus is also the name of one of the "Seventy Apostles of Christ," a group of followers mentioned in Luke 10:1-20 who were appointed by Jesus to go out ahead of him and preach the gospel. This Thaddeus is believed to have been a Jew born in Edessa. According to Eusebius, he was martyred in Mesopotamia in 44.

Not nearly as well known as any of the others, Matthias was the apostle chosen to replace Judas after he betrayed Jesus and committed suicide. Matthias wasn't chosen by Jesus and isn't even mentioned in the synoptic gospels. Instead, he was chosen by casting lots after Jesus reportedly ascended to heaven. After being chosen, Matthias disappears completely from the New Testament canon and isn't mentioned in any other reliable historical records.

The choosing of Matthias is depicted in the first chapter of Acts:

 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs." Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles. [Acts 1:23-26]

There's no information about who Joseph Barabbas was, or why either of them were candidates for becoming an official member of the Twelve Apostles. It's not even clear why there was a need to replace Judas in the first place, unless it was for the sake of maintaining the symbolism of twelve, the number of the original Hebrew tribes. According to Clement of Alexandria:

 Not that they became apostles through being chosen for some distinguished peculiarity of nature since also Judas was chosen along with them. But they were capable of becoming apostles on being chosen by Him who foresees even ultimate issues. Matthias, accordingly, who was not chosen along with them, on showing himself worthy of becoming an apostle, is substituted for Judas. [Stromateis vi.13]

A medieval Greek historian claims that Matthias was crucified in Colchis, an area of the Caucasus, but there is no independent evidence of this having really occurred. Another Christian legend claims that Matthias was stoned then beheaded by Jews in Jerusalem.

Clement of Alexandria quotes a single sentence which he attributes to a Gospel of Matthias, but that's the only piece of the document which remains. There are also mentions of the existence of this gospel in Origen, Eusebius, and Jerome. Given how many gospels were created and attributed to various apostles and other companions of Jesus, it's likely that a Gospel of Matthias existed. Since Clement died in the early 3rd century, this could have been a relatively early gospel.

Born around the beginning of the Common Era, Paul was a Hellenistic Jew who, according to tradition, was a Pharisee and may have been a member of the Sanhedrin. He was responsible for working against the development of Christianity but, according to his own accounts, he heard the voice of Jesus and was struck blind while on his way to Damascus.

After this time, he became an ardent defender and promoter of Christianity, even taking for himself the title "apostle" and eventually became responsible for many of the books in the New Testament. Some lists of the apostles apparently include Paul as the twelfth apostle, replacing Matthias. Since Paul asserted the authority to be an apostle to the Gentiles, though, he is more appropriately listed as the thirteenth because for Christian symbolism to work there needs to be twelve apostles representing the original twelve Hebrew tribes and then a thirteenth for non-Jews.

Paul insisted on using the title apostle despite never having met Jesus and never being called personally by Jesus because of his vision on the road to Damascus. Paul claimed that the resurrected Jesus spoke to him and called him at that time. Taking the title "apostle" has clear political implications because the original apostles would have had the greatest authority within the growing Christian movement. They were, after all, the ones who had personally known and personally been called by Jesus. This would have put Paul in a secondary position at best, especially given his recent background as an opponent of Christianity.

Adopting the title apostle could have been perceived as an attempt to assert equal authority alongside the original apostles, especially since Paul claimed to have been called by the resurrected Jesus rather than by Jesus when he was still alive. On more than one occasion in his letters Paul has to defend his status as an apostle, suggesting that it was questioned by various people.

Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantine (c. 272 - 337), better known as Constantine the Great, was perhaps the most important person in the development of the early Christian Church (after Jesus and Paul, naturally). Constantine's defeat of Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge put him in a powerful position, but not one of supreme power. He controlled Italy, North Africa, and the Western provinces.

Constantine's chief goal was always creating and maintaining unity, be it political, economic or, eventually, religious. For Constantine, one of the greatest threats to Roman domination and peace was disunity. Christianity filled Constantine's need for a basis of religious unity quite well. Just as significant as Constantine's conversion to and official toleration of Christianity was his unprecedented decision to move the capital of the Roman empire from Rome itself to Constantinople.

Constantine is sometimes referred to as an apostle because of how much he did to spread Christianity and how important he was to the eventual rise of Christianity into a position of dominance over Europe.

Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was sworn in as Egypt's president Sunday following a landslide election victory almost a year after he deposed the country's first freely elected leader and crushed his Islamist supporters.
The ex-army chief became the country's second president since a popular uprising overthrew strongman Hosni Mubarak in 2011, unleashing more than three years of unrest.
Western countries alarmed by the brutal crackdown on dissent following Sisi's ousting of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi mostly sent low-level representatives to his inauguration.
In a speech to Arab royals, foreign dignitaries and Egyptian public figures at the presidential palace, Sisi said it was time "for our great people to obtain the fruits of their two revolutions".
"The time has come to build a more stable future," he said, after signing a power transfer with outgoing interim president Adly Mansour, a chief justice who Sisi had installed when he toppled Morsi on July 3.
The ceremony, attended by Egyptian public figures as well as foreign dignitaries who lined up to shake Sisi's hand, appeared choreographed to display regional support for Sisi.
Many Egyptians view Sisi as the leader best suited to restoring stability and he scored a lopsided victory in a vote boycotted by Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and secular dissidents, targeted by the army-installed government in a sweeping crackdown.
Soldiers and police deployed in force around the capital in anticipation of protests by the battered Brotherhood movement and possible militant attacks.
Earlier, Sisi took his oath at the Constitutional Court, next to the hospital where his elderly predecessor Mubarak is being detained after being convicted of corruption.
Elite policemen stood guard outside the court as helicopters dropped posters of Sisi on well-wishers who turned up to see the former army commander.
"I'm here to congratulate Sisi, the man who rescued us from terrorism and the Muslim Brotherhood," said one flag-waving supporter, Amira Ahmed.
Riding a wave of popularity since Morsi's overthrow, Sisi won the May 26-28 election with 96.9 percent of the vote against his only rival, leftist leader Hamdeen Sabbahi.
The nature of the victory showed he still enjoyed immense support for his overthrow of the divisive Morsi, after millions held protests demanding an end to the Islamist's turbulent year in power.
But the lower than anticipated turnout of about 47 percent denied Sisi the overwhelming mandate he had called for ahead of the vote.
The now-banned Brotherhood had urged a boycott of the election.
Sisi's main challenges will be to restore stability and revive the economy after the three years of turmoil that followed a 2011 uprising that ousted Mubarak.
Since Morsi's ouster, the crackdown on his supporters has killed more than 1,400 people and left thousands behind bars, while militants have killed hundreds of policemen and soldiers.
'Restrictive environment'
But Sisi's opponents fear that under his rule, Egypt will return to an autocratic regime worse than under Mubarak.
In the run-up to the election, Sisi said "national security" takes precedence over democratic freedoms.
He will be the fifth Egyptian president to rise from the ranks of the military, and is expected to reassert the army's grip on politics.
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, who opposed Morsi's Brotherhood, called for a donor conference to help Egypt after the results were announced.
The oil kingpin was represented at inauguration ceremony by Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz, alongside the rulers of Kuwait and Bahrain.
Western nations, which congratulated Sisi on his election win while stressing the importance of safeguarding human rights, sent low-level delegates or were represented by ambassadors.
Washington has voiced concerns about "the restrictive political environment" during the vote, urging Sisi to show "commitment to the protection of the universal rights of all Egyptians".
Senior State Department official Thomas Shannon represented Washington at the palace ceremony.

What You Don't Know About Auto Insurance
Not Everything Is Covered
Believe it or not, when you get in an accident, a generic policy will not cover your belongings in your car. This means that if they get stolen out of your car, you are completely out of luck. Also, if you have valuable items that are damaged while in your car, they will not be replaced or compensated for either. This means it's important to avoid carrying expensive items in your car whenever possible. On the same note, if you get in an accident and your pet is in your car, your pet's injuries will not be covered either. It's good to explore your options and ask these questions upfront.
Diminished Value Claim
Many vehicle owners are unaware of what a diminished value claim is. Basically, when a vehicle has been in an accident, the value of it becomes diminished. No one will purchase a vehicle that has been in an accident without a substantial discount since there is no way to tell what problems will emerge as a result of the accident. You can file a diminished value claim to have your insurance company cover your losses. Many are unaware that the insurance companies don't automatically send checks for this. The claims must be filed first.
Save Money, Pay Up Front
Believe it or not, the price of your auto insurance is negotiable practically anywhere you go in one way or another. While you may not be able to simply talk the price down, you will most likely be able to save money by paying up front in a lump sum. Most companies that offer auto insurance in Milwaukee will provide a discount to clients who will pay for their insurance in one lump sum once or twice a year.

Glendale, Arizona (PressExposure) May 14, 2012 -- The Financial Times has ranked Thunderbird School of Global Management as one of the world's top 10 providers of executive education. This year, the publication places Thunderbird No. 9 in the overall executive education ranking, No. 3 for Open Enrollment Programs and No. 21 for Custom Programs.
The school's Open Enrollment programs were further recognized as No. 1 for "faculty," "international location," "course design" and "teaching methods and materials"- the only school out of 65 in the survey with four No.1 rankings by category. All of these top rankings represent many of the key differentiators between Thunderbird's programs and those of its competitors.
"These rankings are particularly important to us because it is based on our client's direct feedback to the Financial Times," said Dennis Baltzley, Ph.D., Senior Vice President for Executive Education at Thunderbird. "We are taking time today to say 'thank you' to our clients for their business, and it is being part of the Thunderbird family that make these successes possible."
Thunderbird's Executive Education programs are delivered wherever the clients' needs take them, yet often from the school's three main campuses in Glendale, Arizona, Geneva, and Moscow. Of the many things unique to Thunderbird Executive Education, central is the fact that we are "global" to our core. A great example of this is a leadership program that Thunderbird developed with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE). Created exclusively for global managers who conduct business overseas, the program is delivered in New Zealand, the United States, and China. Perhaps even more uniquely, this work is designed and delivered with global partners -- The University of Auckland and Cheng Kung University.
Thunderbird's Open Enrollment programs are short, non-degree, certificate-based programs for executives and business professionals seeking the specific and targeted skills they need to compete in today's global marketplace. These courses are offered on campus in Glendale and abroad, as well as online.
Thunderbird's custom executive education programs offer businesses throughout the world a wide array of customized degree and non-degree programs that are specifically designed for companies based on their unique objectives and challenges.

State Senate Passes Bill to Hold Landlords Accountable for Unpaid Real Estate Taxes
Senator John A. DeFrancisco announced today that the New York State Senate has passed his bill (S552) that would authorize public welfare officials to withhold rent from landlords who have not paid their real estate taxes. The bill would give broad discretion to the Department of Social Services.
Under current law, a recipient of public assistance is eligible for housing assistance, and these payments are made directly by the public welfare department to the landlord. Last year, it was reported by The Post-Standard in Syracuse that two landlords had unpaid taxes totaling more than $1 million, yet they were still receiving rent for their tenants who were on public assistance.
"A landlord who fails to pay property taxes should not be allowed to collect rent payments from taxpayer-funded welfare programs," said Senator DeFrancisco. "Our state cannot afford to allow tax dodgers to get away with this abuse. They need to be held accountable."
The bill has been referred to the New York State Assembly.

Women - toys for the boys!
Celia Capstick, Social Responsibility Committee, NBCW Did you know that Germany is already constructing the cabins where men will buy sex from women after the World Cup football matches in Germany next year? That thousands of women will be trafficked in for this purpose and that the state, because it is legal in Germany, will reap considerable benefit from the sex tax on this modern slave trade? Did you know that men and boys play computer games which reward them with a girl and encourage them to play the role of the pimp? These were two pieces of information information which we heard at the European Women's Lobby (EWL) seminar on Trafficking in Women for sexual exploitation: who is responsible? - hosted in London by NAWO (National Alliance of Women's Organisations). Its aim was to focus on the responsibility of all the actors in this global trade in human beings. While acknowledging that poverty, gender inequalities, power, abuse and violence play a part in making this such a lucrative commercial enterprise, this seminar sought to examine what fuels the demand - the men. In Sweden, we learned, they have tackled the demand side by making it a crime to buy another human being with the intention of using her for sexual purposes. It is however not a crime for the woman to sell sex. In Swedish law she is seen as a victim - vulnerable and powerless. This law is unique in the world in its acknowledgement of the gender inequalities in society which underpin prostitution and its detrimental effect on women. And it is working. Street prostitution has dropped by 70 per cent and in clubs and hotels by about 50 per cent. Pimps have found it more difficult to work in Sweden and there fore the trafficking has declined. EWL now asks for all their member organisations (of which the National Board of Catholic Women is one) to lobby their governments to make it a crime for men to buy and use women in the context of prostitution. The law should also help women get out of prostitution by providing finance, training, jobs, health care and housing. Meg Munn, Minister for Women in the UK government, spoke of the determination of our government to tackle the growth on trafficking. She pointed out that it was already a crime to traffic women and children for sex purposes in this country with a penalty of 14 years imprisonment if convicted. She noted the Poppy Project, which houses women who have been trafficked if they are willing to help convict their pimp. 90 women so far. But it all sounded too little, too slow and in the context of such huge numbers being smuggled across borders - so much human misery. She was asked as the NBCW has asked, why the UK government had not ratified the Council of Europe's Convention against Trafficking which would give help to the trafficked women instead of treating them with the harsh treatment of illegal immigrants. The reply was not very reassuring of any immediate action on this point. Source: Catholic Omnibus - magazine of the NBCW At present the UK government has only one hostel for women rescued from traffickers, while several religious orders are involved in a Europe-wide programme giving support, shelter and advice to women in this country and in their countries of origin. A seminar on trafficking women takes place in London on Saturday 1 April 1.45pm at CAFOD, 2 Romero Close, London SW9. The speakers will be Sr Imelda Poole, who is currently working in Albania. She will give a talk on the situation in Europe; Sr Anne Therese of St Joseph of Annecy (Medaille Community) will speak about trafficking in the UK.

The school year 2010-2011 brought new beginnings for soccer in Garbally college. This was the first time three teams would compete in the FAI schools league. Representing the school along with the first years were the U14 and Senior soccer squads.
Garbally College would like to thank to Ballinasloe Town F.C for the use of their fantastic facilities throughout the year.
1st Year Soccer
There was huge interest this year in this grade with 30 players taking to the field for training. The group were drawn in a tough group, solid performances against St. Marys and Colaiste Ioganid along with an impressive victory over Aloysius Athlone made sure of a Connacht quarter final against Athenry. Athenry proved a very strong side an edged us out of the competition. There were fine performances from a number of players throughout the league which will provide a good base for the years ahead.
Goal scorers were Cathal Shields, Colin Cotton, Eoin Galvin, Michael O'Neill
Back row: R. Khan, B. Mulry, D. Ryan, T. Ryan, A. Grenham, M. O'Neill,
C. Cogavin, L. Donagh, C. Shields
Front row: C. Goode, R. Barrett, A. Carty, C. Cotton, E. Gavin, P. Regan,
F. Parsons
Seated: T. Finnerty and D. Hyland
U14 Soccer
This was an excellent group of players which provided great performances this year. The team was captained by Mark Richardson and went through the group stages of the league unbeaten. Excellent victories over Castlebar, Belmullet and a draw against Aloysius brought us to a Connacht quarter final. Here Garbally came up against Oranmore and won 6-2. This was an excellent performance and showed that the Garbally players possessed quality in there side as well as goal scorers. In the semi-final we played St Gerard's Castlebar, Garbally gave a fine performance but could not break down the Castlebar side and lost to the physically stronger side.
Excellent performances in defence by Jake Curley, Daniel Dunne, Joe Lynch, Jordan O Leary and Cathal Shields were bases of a solid campaign. A great attacking mid field with Ian Fletcher, Simon Keller, Mark Richardson, and strikers Conor Payne and Mahmoud Guimea provided plenty of pace and goals. These along with excellent reserve players will no doubt come back next year and go one better.
Goal Scorers; Simon Keller, Ian Fletcher, Conor Payne, Mahmoud Guimea, Jake Curley
Senior Soccer
This was the first year Senior Soccer was played in the school. It was a very competitive league this year and despite several good performances Garbally failed to progress into the later stages of the competition. However it was a good step forward in the school creating a solid foothold in the senior soccer league. This year's team was a very young and inexperienced side but will in no doubt become stronger as a result of their first campaign in the senior league. This coupled with the prospect of numerous younger talented players coming up through the ranks into the side will ensure we remain very competitive at this level.
Back row: A.Smyth, S, Tierney, C. Dolphin, C. Dolan, C. Barrett, P. Connolly,
P. Carrig, N. Cotton, C. Maloney, D. Keane
Front row: I. Fletcher, S. Keller, P. Dolan, D. Dillon, I. Duffy, E. Hardiman,
P. Claffey, A. Loughnane
Missing: B. Curley, I. Peterson, D. O'Brien, A. Phelan, B. Flynn

Oz man who kissed wife's bottom avoids jail
January 25, 2011 - Melbourne
An Aussie man has avoided a prison term after he drunkenly kissed his estranged wife on the bottom.
The 48-year-old ex-social worker was sentenced in the Hobart Magistrates Court, reports News.com.au.
The court heard at a previous hearing that the unemployed man had been drinking when he went to his wife's Hobart home last June to talk with her, according to The Mercury.
She was lying on a bed and he twice asked her to turn over on to her stomach. When she refused he forcibly rolled her over, straddled her, pulled down her pants and kissed her on the bottom as she screamed "No, no!" the court heard previously.
Hearing the commotion, their children ran in and the victim explained she had been tickled but her husband made a vulgar comment.
When interviewed by police about the incident, the man admitted the attack and apologized to the victim.
He said he intended the kiss as an act of foreplay to lift the spirits of his depressed wife but admitted he went too far.
Magistrate Olivia McTaggart said she was satisfied a jail term was appropriate but that it should be suspended.
"It was a brief yet forceful and humiliating act for your wife. It was not expected and her embarrassment was heightened by the presence of your children in the house," she said.
The couple, who were married for 21 years, had separated since the incident, the court heard.
McTaggart sentenced the man to four months' jail but suspended it for three years on condition he commit no further sexual assaults.
She also imposed an 18-month probation order.

The right time to visit here is late autumn when eagles are seen by the hundreds. Fortunately we saw a few resident bald eagles which made the trip more worthwhile.
We didn't see any eagles but we walked the short trail and enjoyed the views. The information on the display boards was educational.
We didn't see eagles, salmons or seals at this time of the year... all gone! Too late but the river is beautiful...
Finally visited the area after years of driving by and was most impressed. Information boards along the dyke let one know all about the eagles in the area. A great place to sit back and watch these great birds - The bald eagle!
We stopped at the viewing location off Government Road on the off chance we would see some eagles... to our surprise and delight we saw 30+ bald eagles either on the river bank feeding on salmon carcasses or perched in the trees. What an incredible...More
Went on a rainy day in November. Even still we saw 7 bald eagles in a very short time. Parked across from the bistro and walked to the viewing area. Nice covered shelter with very interesting info. It is a beautiful spot.
A much needed tranquil area to walk along the river, we didn't expect to see much wildlife but wow what a surprise. Sat by the river we saw salmon leaping, seals, Eagles and even a bear. There is a lovely place to eat which is...More
Would have been better during the eagle run but this is still a gorgeous place for a peaceful walk. Will be going back in the late Fall to catch the eagles.
Bring a coffee or a bottle of wine and enjoy the beauty of Brackendale. Aside from Eagles swooping for fish you may also see seals, otters, bears, deer... Its one of my favorite walks.
Twice in this place even so there was no eagle season ,place is lovely,especially in spring when river area is yellow from blooms.Peceful area good for walking along river or simply sitting on fancy benches and admiring beauty all around.Googd displays regarding birds especially eagles.

New Jersey to Demolish Greystone Kirkbride
It's been announced in the press that New Jersey plans to demolish the historic Greystone Kirkbride in spite of receiving six respectable proposals for redevelopment. According to the state, all six proposals left a "funding gap" of $11 million to $25 million. Since the state is unwilling to spend any money on redevelopment, they claim the proposals aren't viable.
However, at least two organizations who submitted proposals argue they would not require any assistance: Green Center Acres and Auto Mart, Inc. (the company behind the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV).
The process of demolition could begin as early as spring 2014.
Preserve Greystone is vowing to fight the state's decision. Right now, I'm not sure exactly what people should do to help them. I've asked them for the latest information and I'm still waiting to hear back. For the time being, you can like their Facebook page, follow them on Twitter and check out their existing suggestions at preservegreystone.org/support.html. If I find out anything new, I'll post about it.
Another option I highly recommend (especially for New Jersey residents) is to call or write to both the Governor and Treasurer and let them know the Kirkbride should be saved.
