US judge approves agreement $25 million settlement over Trump University lawsuits.
A judge on approved an agreement for President Donald Trump to pay $25 million to settle lawsuits over his now-defunct Trump University, ending nearly seven years of legal battles with customers who claimed they were misled by failed promises to teach success in real estate.
US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel's ruling settles two class-action lawsuits and a civil lawsuit by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Trump had vowed never to settle but said after the election that he didn't have time for a trial, even though he believed he would have prevailed. Under terms of the settlement, he admits no wrongdoing.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling.
The lawsuits alleged that Trump University gave nationwide seminars that were like infomercials, constantly pressuring people to spend more and, in the end, failing to deliver.
Attorneys for former customers have said their clients will get at least 90 percent of their money back, based on the roughly 3,730 claims submitted.
Trump University dogged the Republican businessman throughout the campaign as rivals used Trump's depositions and extensive documents filed in the lawsuits to portray him as dishonest and deceitful.
Trump brought more attention by repeatedly assailing Curiel, insinuating that the Indiana-born judge's Mexican heritage exposed a bias.
The judge rejected requests by two former students who objected to the settlement, scuttling the possibility of derailing the agreement with the prospect of more litigation.
Sherri Simpson, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, attorney, said she and a partner paid $35,000 in 2010 to enroll in Trump University's "Gold Elite" program to be paired with a mentor who would teach them Trump's secret real estate investment strategies.
Simpson, who appeared in two anti-Trump campaign ads, said they got little for their money — the videos were 5 years old, the materials covered information that could be found free on the internet and her mentor didn't return calls or emails.
Simpson argued that she should have been given more opportunity to opt out of the settlement. Attorneys for Trump and those suing him say the deadline to opt out was in November 2015 and that she missed her chance.
Another customer, Harold Doe, objected because he wanted more money.
In clearing those final hurdles, the president brought closure to the trio of lawsuits, the first of which was filed in April 2010.
When attorneys reached a deal shortly after Trump's election, Curiel said he hoped it would be part of "a healing process that this country very sorely needs." A month later, he granted preliminary approval of the deal.
The settlement was announced 10 days before a trial was set to begin, sparing Trump what would have been a major distraction. The trial would have been pinned on whether a jury believed Trump misled customers by calling the business a university when it wasn't an accredited school and by falsely advertising that he hand-picked instructors.
Court documents unsealed last year revealed strategies for enticing people to enroll even if they couldn't afford it. The documents outlined how employees should guide people through "the roller coaster of emotions" after they express interest and tells employees to be "very aggressive during these conversations to in order to push them out of their comfort zones."
Transcripts of about 10 hours of Trump depositions provided additional material to rivals, though Curiel denied a request to release video of Trump's testimony that would have likely been used in campaign attack ads. Trump acknowledged in the depositions that he played on people's fantasies, and he could not recall names of his employees despite his advertising pitch that he hand-picked them.
Trump has repeatedly claimed a 98 percent customer satisfaction rate on internal surveys. Plaintiffs countered that students were asked to rate the product when they believed they still had more instruction to come and were reluctant to openly criticize their teachers on surveys that were not anonymous.

If you're thinking, "I've already seen the video for 'Blue Jeans,'" you're not wrong: Lana Del Rey first released a video for the track, which is also her newest single, way back before she was so famous/infamous. (Is she famous now? I spend all my time on the computer so I'm not sure what it's like out in the real world.) Like her video for "Video Games," it had a lot of close shots of Del Rey crooning intercut with old video clips. (And some of Tupac. Seriously.)
But now Del Rey has made a splash and has a record deal and can afford things like a hunky co-star and a pool full of alligators. The video is basically a more polished version of what Del Rey was already doing: broody, vintage-inspired torch songs with some hip-hop references dropped here and there for flavor. (Strictly lyrical, mind you. She doesn't freestyle on the track or anything.) So, you know, this won't change your mind about her one way or the other:
That said, if it turns out that she was actually the one swimming with those alligators and not a stuntwoman, I will be mightily impressed. That would be pretty hardcore.

An extensive network of hiking cabins allows you to discover more of Norway on your holiday. Hike from cabin to cabin along the coast, in the forests and in the mountains.
The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) runs over 550 cabins all over Norway, giving you ample choice of decent, affordable accommodation on your hiking holiday.
There are three types of DNT cabins: serviced, self-serviced and unserviced.
All cabins have basic bed linen, but you should bring your own sheet or sleeping bag. At staffed lodges bed linen is available to rent.
Joining an organised package tour means you get good company, access to local knowledge and information about safety. It is also convenient: DNT's package tours for groups include transport from Oslo directly to the mountains, accommodation at staffed mountain lodges or self-serviced cabins and all meals. An experienced DNT tour leader is present throughout the trip.
Walking maps of Norway are available from the DNT's webshop. DNT's hiking trails are marked with a red "T" on cairns and rocks and are clearly shown on the maps.
You will find more information on DNT's website. There is also a handy online search function to help you find your DNT tour.
Many DNT cabins are open throughout the year, but that does not mean that they are easily accessed throughout the year. Most serviced cabins open at the end of June and close in mid-September or October.
The serviced cabins at Haukeliseter and Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock) stay open all year.
Membership is not compulsory but will give you a number of advantages. As a member, you get reduced rates at all DNT cabins as well as many privately owned mountain lodges and hotels and you get priority over non-members when beds are allocated in the cabins. Please also note that only members get the key for the unserviced DNT cabins. You can check current prices on DNT's website (pdf).
Go hiking in Norway and discover why the locals can't get enough of nature. Our most scenic landscapes are definitely best enjoyed on foot.
Before you embark on a trekking adventure in the Norwegian wilderness, take a moment to ponder the practicalities. Be prepared, stay safe and pack your bag like a hiking pro.
To use something is not the same as consuming it, as prominent Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss once said. Norway's national parks provide a perfect example of this.
In Norway everyone has the unrestricted right of free access in the countryside, including the national parks.

Gamecock football opens spring practice
Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:13:31 GMT —
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) -- Steve Spurrier spoke with his players, then jogged over to his offense eager to use the first day of spring practice to put last season's sour finish aside.
The South Carolina coach has apologized several times for his team's awful showing at the PapaJohns.com Bowl last January, where the Gamecocks lost to Connecticut, 20-7. Spurrier hopes his players make up for it with better play throughout 2010, something that begins with spring workouts that opened on Thursday. The Gamecocks got in just one practice before taking next week off for USC's spring break.
"We thought some of the young guys like Connor Shaw, DeMario Bennett and Demario Jeffery (could benefit) from practice and give them something to think about over the spring break week," said headcoach Steve Spurrier of getting in the one practice prior to the break. "That was the reason we did that."
South Carolina went 7-6 for the second straight season. Still, Spurrier is the only Gamecock coach to go to four bowl games in his first five seasons.
Workouts conclude with the Garnet and Black spring game on April 10.

It started great with Japan getting the lead against Bosnia, but quickly after Bosnia reduced and also ended up winning the match. Today we are looking at Portugal against Estonia, because Portugal has gotten Ronaldo and Pepe back.
Portugal is not predicted to be one of the big players at the Euro 2016, but they are still one of the teams with most routine and older players. One of the best players in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo is playing for Portugal and after a short break he is back in the squad with his teammate, Pepe.
Click here to bet --->
Estonia hasn't qualified for the Euroes and they are far away from the same level as Portugal. We expect Portugal to make quick process in this game, which is their last test before the Euroes kicks off in France in two days.
Portugal will win this match, and we expect them to win first half aswell. So we go with this lower odds, but it should be very safe.
Bet on Portugal to win HT/FT. Odds 1.57 at bet365.

Earlier this year, one of the best computer RPGs of all time, Baldur's Gate, came to the Mac and iOS. And it was an awesome, awesome, awesome port, with tons of enhanced content and a new iPad-friendly control scheme.
Even better? Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition did well enough that the guys who handled the port, Beamdog, said they were working on a port of Baldur's Gate II… a game which (and this is saying something) is about ten times better than Baldur's Gate!
Fast forward to today. Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition has been yanked from all e-tailers, including the App Store. Why? Contractual crapulence.

Reuben W. Smith
REUBEN W. SMITH, a well known farmer, residing in section 15, township 32, range 18, in Mound Valley township, Labette county, Kansas, is a native of Fayette county,, Illinois, and was born in 1860. He is a son of John R. and Martha (Scott) Smith
John R. Smith lived for a number of years in Shelby county, Illinois, whence he moved to Labette county, in 1870. He took up a claim which adjoins the northern part of the city of Mound Valley. This he improved, and cultivated until his death, which occurred in 1876. His wife died six months before him. They reared six children, namely: Reuben W., the subject of this sketch; G. B., who is a railroad mail at Salida, Colorado; Margaret (McCarty), of Wellington, Kansas, whose husband is an employee of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company; John D., who is a bridge man on that road, at Guthrie, Oklahoma; Lizzie (Clark), who lives in Iowa; and Mary (Reeves), of Cherryvale, Kansas. The three first named were born in Illinois, and the others in Labette county, Kansas.
Reuben W. Smith was ten years old when his parents moved to Labette county, Kansas. He has lived here ever since that time, with the exception of two years, - from 1880 to 1882, - which he spent as a miner in Colorado. In 1890, he bought his present home farm of 160 acres, which was owned by John Rogers, who had improved it considerably. Mr. Smith has added a good orchard, and has made many minor improvements. He carries on general farming, and stock raising. He favors Durham cattle, and recently bought some thoroughbreds at a sale in Kansas City. His intention is to raise high-grade stock. Mr. Smith is a man of good business principles, and has a thorough knowledge of agricultural affairs. He is a good neighbor, and always willing to lend assistance to any one in need.
Mr. Smith was united in marriage with Alice Stotts, a daughter of J. O. Stotts. They have six children, namely: Herbert R.; Maggie; James 0.; Georgia; Mabel; and Roy W. Mr. Smith is a member of the People's party. He has served as township treasurer, and has also been on the school board of Globe District, No. 65. Fraternally, he is a member of the M. W. of A. lodge, of Mound Valley. Religiously, he is liberal in his views, while his wife is a member of the Methodist church. Mr. Smith is well known in Labette county.

We have taken in some horses in pretty bad shape and nurse them back to healthy weights and find them their forever homes. We have even taken in horses that just need a second chance at life, and done a lot of work with them to teach them to "just be a horse" again.

Professional placement (sandwich)
An additional year of professional placement is an available option highly recommended by both the Department and former students. Many students in the past have chosen to take this option and have found it a valuable experience that has enhanced their studies and employment opportunities.
Satisfactory completion leads to the additional award of a Diploma in Professional Studies (DPS).
During the placement year, the student is employed in a company and treated as a graduate trainee. Many companies offer regular training opportunities which supplement the course modules, providing experience on a wide range of commercial software and business practice.
Responsibility for finding a suitable placement rests with the student, but assistance is given by the Department's Professional Placement Tutor who has contacts with a wide range of industrial and commercial organisations.
Many students find employment with IT companies and other major industries, and some placements may be with small establishments, matched on the basis of subject or geographical location.

Are you planning your life or are you letting someone else plan it for you? Today's Daily Quote is from Jim Rohn. He was an author and motivational speaker with a typical rags to riches story. He said the following:
If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.
If you are familiar with what I write, you know I'm a big time believer in the Law of Attraction. I know that if you spend time planning your life, what you plan is what comes to pass. What you think on and feel on the most is what comes…every time. There are so many people out there that do not realize this fact. The victims or the martyrs in your life are these people.
What do you really want? What do you want to have or do or be? What kind of job do you want? What kind of house do you want? What kind of car do you want?
Let's use a new car as an example here. Can you picture yourself sitting in your new car? Can you feel the material that the seats are made out of and see the instruments in your head? Can you hear it start up? Can you see yourself playing with the stereo system?
Lots of people blame the economy or the glass ceiling at their job. The Universe has no glass ceiling. I know when you first start out planning your life, it's a logic problem. It makes no sense how you can work where you work and still get all the stuff you want. Why not just try it? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
For today, let's all do a lot of day dreaming. Let's see ourselves having or being what we really want. Let's make it so real in our heads that we're surprised when we open our eyes that it's not there in front of us. It's fun! It feels a ton better than focusing on any kind of lack. I'm giving you a permission slip for planning your life and what you really want. Start now!

Security forces were hunting on Monday for a British woman and three Afghans reportedly working for a US development group who were kidnapped in eastern Afghanistan, police said.
The woman is reportedly in her 30s, has worked in Afghanistan for several years and is considered very experienced. She is believed to have previously worked for the United Nations.
British media said the woman was working for US aid group DAI, a subcontractor of Washington's USAID, and was seized along with three local staff when their two-vehicle convoy was attacked in Kunar province.
Kunar borders Pakistan and is a hotbed of Taliban activity.
The British government confirmed that she was a British citizen, and said her family had been notified and had asked that she not be publicly identified.
The BBC quoted a "senior security official" saying the group had been taken to nearby mountains on foot, and the area was being searched with the help of tribal elders.
Kunar provincial police chief Khalilullah Ziayee said a search operation had been launched.
"They were on their way from (eastern town) Jalalabad to Kunar province in two Corolla cars," he said.
"We have received reports that the cars were stopped by Taliban... and one British and three Afghans were taken away. We are searching for them."
The US military, which has a heavy presence in the mountainous and heavily forested region, was also said to be involved in the search.
British newspaper reports said police had chased the kidnappers and exchanged gunfire before they escaped.
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office in London said, "We can confirm a British national has been abducted in Afghanistan."
They did not give further details but added, "We are working closely with all the relevant local authorities. We are also in touch with the family and are providing consular assistance."
DAI spokesman Steven O'Connor told the Daily Mail newspaper that resolving the incident was their "absolute first priority".
"The woman who appears to have been kidnapped is one of our veterans. She is a complete professional and has many years of experience."
A small Afghan news agency, which often carries Taliban statements and claims, said a local Taliban commander had claimed responsibility.
"It is not clear if this is legitimate," a British official said, speaking on condition he not be named, adding the report was among a number of possibilities under investigation.
A spokesman for the Taliban denied in a telephone call with AFP that the insurgents were responsible for the abductions.
"We are not aware of the British woman kidnapping," spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed told AFP from an unknown location.
Criminal groups and insurgents have kidnapped several dozen foreigners since the 2001 US-led invasion ousted the Taliban regime in Kabul. Victims are often sold on to insurgent groups.
The Taliban have initially denied responsibility for kidnappings in the past, apparently to give operatives time to reach secure locations.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force, which has about 150,000 troops in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban, said it was willing to provide assistance to recover the missing people.
"If we are asked to provide support, we'll certainly do so," an ISAF spokeswoman told AFP.
DAI has been targeted in the past by the Taliban, most recently in July when four people were killed in an attack on its premises in northern Kunduz province.
In August a 36-year-old British doctor, Karen Woo, was shot dead along with seven other foreign medical aid workers in the northeastern Afghan province of Badakhshan. Two Afghans were also killed in the attack.

Hidden Waters of FesPosted by Jonathan under Culture, Film, History | Tags: Fes, Urban Life, Water |

It Is WrittenPosted by Jonathan under Arabic, East & West, Islam, Scripture | Tags: Bible, Fes, Kutiba, New Orleans, Public Scripture, Qur'an |
[5] Comments
Where and how scripture shows up- literally, on what surfaces, in what media- is something that interests me as much as the question of how it is being used in ways we recognize more readily as 'textual.' These are some textual/architectural/public uses of scripture I've come across; their application of the scriptural voice is at once similar to and different from more 'conventional' employments of scripture, whether in sermon, commentary, theology, liturgy, etc. These sorts of public, 'architectural' inscriptions operate on different levels, speaking on different registers, depending on their surroundings while also penetrating their surroundings and forming them (much as sacred scriptures both shape the reader/exegete even as she shapes them). Where these texts appear works hand in hand with the texts' significance within the wider tradition, as this sampling hopefully shows. As usual, I am very much thinking out loud here, and have only given this topic the briefest of thought, though it deserves a lot more.
Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans, Summer 2008: The scene: big swathes of empty green, where there used to be a neighborhood. There are hardly even bones here now, or if there are they lie beneath the switchgrass and caney reeds and brush. The air is thick, heavy, silent, except for a thudding hammer from one of the few centers of human habitation left here. The text is also crying out, even if its voice looks a little muffled, the vicious heat and humidity of the Deep South no friend to plywood and ink. No matter. The emotional power of the original passage is amplified here in this space of dry (or wet and humid perhaps) bones; it fits the place and fits the place to it.
Sihrij Madrasa, Fes, Spring 2009: This is a somewhat neglected Marinid madrasa (these madrasas being rather more like dorm complexes for the educational activities that took place in the neighboring mosques); but the calligraphy is still bright and compelling. It of course fits the space: besides the continual pre-eminence of the Qur'anic text in Islamic societies, the institutional setting makes the choice of Qur'anic text (operating both as edificational/educational material and edifying decoration) all the more apt. As the students- whose study would consist primarily of Qur'an and hadith- come in and out of the space of the madrasa, the selected texts of the Qur'an (which unfortunately cannot here identify- if anyone in Fes who might happen to read this would like to go by and transcribe, that would be truly wonderful) would become part of the architecture of the student's daily life, daily perception, daily thought, action. Written on the wall, written on the heart…
Lower Ninth again. The text resilient, always speaking, in the midst of storm, decay. The flowers of the field may fade…
Moulay Idriss Shrine, Fes: This is one is rather different from the madrasa. The calligraphy is somewhat sparser, and the setting is not an enclosed, institutional- particular- space, but is on an external wall. Albeit still within the sacred precinct of the shrine, this now worse-for-the-wear (yet still holding on, like the battered scripture text of the Lower Ninth) slice of scripture shows itself to the passing crowds. It helps mark out the sacred space around and especially within it, and create it, and reflect it. Even to those passing by who are unable to literally read the text, it is readable as a particular thing, a sacralizing thing. It is recognizable as being part of the sacred, even to those who do not know its literal, strictly textual meaning. It still works. This is, I think, one of the important parts of public scripture, of scripture made stone or wood or whatever and placed on display, grafted into signs and walls and amulets and so on. It blurs the line between literate and non-literate reception and what comes in between- all have some reception of this text, some access to its power, to its meanings, and themselves help construct the meaning.

The Light and the FishPosted by Jonathan under Islam, Photos, Travel | Tags: al-Median al-Qadima, Fes, Ibn 'Arabi, Masjid |

Down a dark, narrow little side street in the Fes medina there is a tunnel, old solid cedar beams straddling overhead holding up whatever structure stands above- what exactly is not clear when coming down the street from Tella Kabira, the main drag through the medina. Upon emerging on the other side, if you look back and up, you can see one of the most remarkable little architectural gems in Morocco, in my opinion, the Ayn al-Khayl Mosque, which dates back at least to the time of the 12th-13th century Muslim mystic and esoteric philosopher Ibn 'Arabi, and is presumably older than that. While I know of at least one other mosque in Fes that straddles a street- it's way across the valley in the Andalusian quarter- this little mosque also stands out for its octagonal minaret (I only saw one other in the rest of Morocco), and the evocative flame-shaped moldings around the tiny windows that march up the minaret towards the sky. That, and it was in this mosque, its tiny prayer hall perched above the street, that Ibn 'Arabi spent much of his time while sojourning in Fes, and where he experienced repeated mystical visions. It is also home, within its elevated courtyard, to a spring- the Ayn of the name- in which, it is said, a mysteriously large fish appeared one day, some thirty years ago. And while there's no word of al-Khidr having shown up in the area, there is a wonderful vegetable and fruit market a couple blocks over.

Comparative Spaces, Sounds: Frogs, at Fes and at Seven IslandsPosted by Jonathan under East & West, Listen, Photos | Tags: Fes, Frogs, Knox County, Morocco, Spring |
[3] Comments
The road here passes alongside the big green liminal space that lies between Fes al-Bali- the oldest part of the Old Medina- and Fes al-Jedid, the rather newer (fourteenth century) construction that once housed the Sultan and Fes' Jewish community. Today the King still has a residence but all that remains of the Jewish community are a couple synagogues and the white-washed cemetery.
The region between the two halves of the city is mostly covered in green space, with the old water channels- the restructured pieces of the streams that made Fes a desirable city in the beginning. Now they are home to at least a few frogs, who start to show up as spring evenings warm and lean towards summer. I passed through one evening as the crowds along the avenue were thinning out and the frogs starting up, down in the warm, mucky green water of the canals, fresh and vigorous against the late medieval bulwarks behind. I thought- here, at the edge of the desert (the dust was already starting to intrude, coming in through the open window of my bedroom, and the shopkeepers beginning their war upon dust in the streets), under the weight of the centuries of the city, are frogs, singing, as they have no doubt been singing under these walls for centuries, as the mulberries come into leaf. Kids run by, one chasing a ball (maybe they are the same kids I would see climbing the mulberries gathering fruit and leaves?); a single car mumbles by, the crowd moves along, laughing, calling, the snatches of Maghrebi Arabic ring in my ears. Frogs, children, the vigorous clip-clip of Maghrebi, spring over all- life, wonder, the ancient, the eternal, what I know, and what I can only listen to, and feel.
Frogs, near Fes al-Jedid. Spring, 2008.
A few weeks ago the weather briefly- it's now turned back cold- warmed, the sun came out, and the weeks of bitter cold passed into memory. It was warm enough that, for a few days at least, the frogs came out along the banks of the French Broad River at the Seven Islands Refuge, a Knox County park east of town. I was coming down the big limestone ridge towards the river when I heard the frogs singing, filling up the still wintry looking woods and fields. I scrambled down to the edge of the little flood-water pond, its quiet waters having swallowed up part of the trail and the clumps of weeds and brush. This also is a sort of liminal space, stuck between the wooded ridge behind and the river banks beyond, the pond precarious and temporary, the frogs unexpected- frogs in February? Where did they come from- I suppose frogs hide in the mud during the cold- what woke them?
The frogs seemed to be spread out in a line up and down the little pond, rising and falling in their song. I squatted beside the water and listened, closed my eyes, breathed the spring, the return to life, the womb of water and the song, all things bright and beautiful and alive.

Swirl and swarm, the swallows
Fling themselves, they thrust and pary
The air, flee the ramparts, and swim
The crowds in the great square.
I catch a spiral, a rising gyre, and my eye
Follows the dust of the city up,
On a bird's wings, it flies, skirts
The white-washed minaret, up past the
Gates, and there it meets, on swallows' tails
The sun's last rays: earth and
Heaven mingle, whirl-
Still the swallows gyre on-
Losing sense and sight of which
Is which.

Greatest Indian Novels: Interview with Namita Gokhale
Greatest Indian Novels: Interview with Namita Gokhalebrunch Updated: Jun 21, 2014 20:29 IST
1. Which character do you prefer - Paro or Priya?
Paro, the dramatic, self obsessed, larger than life protagonist of my first novel, was fun to write about precisely because she was observed through the caustic vision of the less glamorous Priya. Midway through the story, Priya says " .....I had an instinct, a faculty, for truth. I saw things as they were, not as they should have been or people tried to pretend they were. It was this faculty for truth that had haunted me for years, distorting the happiest moments of my life, mocking love, security, happiness. Even amidst the deepest flow of emotions I could never abandon the unmoved voyeur within me, the wary spectator in the crowd, never participating, only watching. " That was what interested me about Priya.
2. Paro was a risque novel, especially for its time. Was writing it a risk?
I think Paro was ironic and irreverent rather than risqué. It was a novel of the moment, it struck a chord, and I am glad that it has continued to amuse, if not to instruct, new generations of readers.
3. The sequel, Priya: In Incredible Indyaa, did not make waves like Paro had. What changed?
I wrote the sequel out of a sense of curiosity about what might have happened to the characters of my first book, and as an exercise in craft. I enjoyed writing it, and I think it works, even though it stands overshadowed by the cult status ofParo. It's a very different voice, especially as the magnificent Paro is not there as a foil for the narrator Priya.

Mouflon (Ovis aries), small feral sheep (family Bovidae, order Artiodactyla) of Corsica and Sardinia (O. a. musimon) and of Cyprus (O. a. ophion). The mouflon stands about 70 cm (28 inches) at the shoulder and is brown with white underparts. The male has a light, saddle-shaped mark on its back and bears large, downward curving horns with the tips turned outward. The mouflon most likely derives from a domestic sheep of Asia Minor that was introduced to Mediterranean islands some thousands of years ago (perhaps in the Neolithic period), presumably for meat, fur, and milk. No fossil evidence exists of any previous presence of mouflons on these islands. The female is usually hornless (a sign of past domestication), but females from Corsica often bear small horns. In the last few centuries, the mouflon has been introduced for hunting purposes into parts of continental Europe. The rut falls in late September and early October, with one, sometimes two, lambs being born in March. Like the domestic sheep, mouflons mainly graze (eat grass), but they also occasionally browse (eat from shrubs or trees).

The house is Fabulous! I have admired it for years from the outside, I Was getting Married & needed something closer to the venue. When I found out it was a rental, I could hardly wait to see the inside! So Welcoming, Spacious, comfy & Beautifully Decorated.
We unfortunately had a Tropical storm & stuck inside most of the week & our Family didn't mind one bit! We loved staying here! The house is set up w a spacious Family room,Dining room & The kitchen...WOW!!! The views are Amazing & the layout is every vacationers dream!
The day of the Wedding the Huge Master Bedroom & Bathroom was perfect for me to get ready in & The game room was all his!
I am pretty picky with my taste & Hands down this house ROCKS!!! Our Family from all over loved it as well... With that said, Thank you to the owners Brian & Gia for being SO pleasant to work with & opening up your home to us!
We will defo be back for a reunion..
Danielle tried several times and was unable to upload this 5-Star Review from her end - she sent us the review via email and we happily posted it for her! Danielle, her family and friends stayed at our home May 1 through May 5th, 2013.
What a fantastic place to stay and relax and enjoy the view of the ocean! Celebrated my 60th birthday with family. Plenty of space for everyone of our party of 12 to enjoy. A beautiful view from every room. Would definitely go back again and again. Thank you!
The hosts were fantastic and the house immaculate when we arrived. We had a large family and all were accommodated beautifully. The different levels allow all of us to gather but still provided so much privacy. And what can we say about location? Could not have been any closer to the beach, bars, restaurants and GTM trails and fishing. We will be back!!!
We love our short vacation-happy birthday celebration in this wonderful beach home. Beautiful view to from ocean, a very big kitchen and the best game room. Enough space for all our crew.
Thanks to Brian and Gia Conley for the details and support. We love to come back and repeat.
Wanda & Family
This is such a wonderful house if you have a big group. You're not on top of each other and the views are spectacular. Very close to St Augustine and the beaches aren't crowded. Brian and Gia are so thoughtful and accommodating. Highly recommend!
We had 15 family and friends stay with us in this gorgeous beach home to celebrate my husband and I's wedding in April. We stayed for 5 days spanning March 30 - April 3, 2017. This home is the best vacation home that we have stayed in yet! It was extremely clean and organized. There are plenty of bedrooms and sleeping space for the amount of people that we had with us! The house had several locations for everyone to just sit and relax. There are gorgeous views from all of the windows and a great "deck" area to sit out on and enjoy the weather. The house was walking distance from the beach and a very short drive from the city and any store that we needed to visit! The owners were accommodating and welcoming, and even left a gift for us upon arrival! They also provided several brochures on places to visit in the area - which was great! We definitely plan to rent this home again in the future for our next big adventure in Saint Augustine!
We had made reservations in January with another house that fell through in April, so we had to scramble to find another in St. Augustine. That turned out to be a stroke of luck! It was more expensive than we would've chosen had time not been critical, but for the extra cost it was more than worth it! Beautifu vistas from every window! Sunrise over the ocean in the morning and sunsets over the marsh. We love cooking and thehe expansive granite countertops, interesting sheet glass stove (how do the items in the drawers underneath it not overheat??) and dual ovens with ample utensils and dinnerware were a joy. We have dogs and there was plenty of room to set up their crates and a little wet bar nook that were the perfect food prep area for them.
It was a short ride to Old St. Augustine where there were lots of interesting things to see and do. We never even had time to use the hot tub, pool table, table shuffleboard or game console!
Answers to the tips:
the listing description was accurate
the property was very clean
the owner responded promptly to texts
I would definitely reccomend this to friends and relatives
we liked the miniature golf, the jail tour, the fort exploration, the cruise, and the architecture of the town.
We were sad to leave and are considering returning soon!

ORLANDO, Fla. — Stan Van Gundy has a request for the NBA: no more Christmas games.
"I actually feel sorry for people who have nothing to do on Christmas Day other than watch an NBA game," the Orlando Magic coach said.
The Magic were playing Boston on Friday, one of five NBA games on Christmas.
Van Gundy said he understands the high-priced TV contracts generate money for the league and it would be difficult to stop such games. He said at the very least he wishes the league had fewer games on the holidays.
The Magic play games on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day this season.
"I think we get a little carried away with ourselves with sports thinking we're more important than everything else," Van Gundy said before the game. "But that's the way it is. There's nothing more important than the NBA on Christmas Day."
Van Gundy feels the day is best spent with family. He woke up early but managed to spend only about 15 minutes with his wife and four children. They went to church services the day before.
Van Gundy said he hadn't even had a chance to open his family's gifts before the tip-off at 2:30 p.m.
The only time he could recall watching a Christmas Day game was when his brother, Jeff, was coaching one of them. Van Gundy also said he doesn't watch NFL games on Thanksgiving.
"Christmas to me, obviously basketball is very important to me, but there are some days of the year where it's got to take a back seat to something," he said.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers wasn't quite as adamant, but he didn't disagree.
Rivers said it's tough for players to be away from family, but he realizes the league is not going to stop playing on the holidays. Rivers lives in the Orlando area and was able to wake up Christmas morning in his own bed.
He said he always watched Christmas Day games growing up because the league features the marquee teams.
"As a kid, you wanted to be on (Christmas)," Rivers said. "Then when you get to the league, you don't want to be on any more. You're like, 'No, I changed my mind.' But it's going to happen, so why try to fight it? I tend to look at it as a reward."
Van Gundy is doing what he can to give his team a break.
He gave players consecutive days off for the first time this season for the upcoming weekend. The Magic's schedule — with travel days and all — hasn't allowed for a break, he said.
"The league has been good to all of us in terms of what we get out of all these TV contracts and everything, so it would be a little disingenuous to complain too much," Van Gundy said. "But if I had my way, we'd take a five-day break at Christmas. I mean it."
WIZARDS' GUARD KEEPS GUNS IN HIS LOCKER: Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas stored unloaded firearms in a container in his locker, according to the team, and the NBA is looking into the situation.
The Wizards issued a statement Thursday night saying there was no ammunition in the locked container, and Arenas and the team have notified authorities and the league.
Arenas told The Washington Times he took his guns to the Verizon Center after his daughter, Hamiley Penny, was born this month. About a week later, he said he handed them over to team security to give to police.
"I wouldn't have brought them to D.C. had I known the rules," Arenas told the newspaper. "After my daughter was born, I was just like, 'I don't need these anymore.' "
Arenas was suspended for Washington's season-opener in 2004 because he failed to maintain proper registration of a handgun while living in California in 2003. Arenas formerly played for the Golden State Warriors.
Officer Quintin Peterson, a spokesman for the Washington police department, told The Associated Press on Thursday night there was no report of any active investigation involving Arenas.
The team and the three-time All-Star "are cooperating fully with law enforcement during its review of this matter and will have no further comment at this time," according to the Wizards' statement.
CBSSports.com first reported the investigation.
Wizards spokesman Scott Hall wouldn't say when or where Arenas had the firearms in his locker.
The NBA's collective bargaining agreement allows for players to legally possess firearms but prohibits them at league facilities or when traveling on any league-related business.
"We're aware of the situation and are working to gain a full understanding of the facts and relevant legal issues," the NBA said in a release.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Sebastian Telfair was suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount in 2006 after a loaded handgun registered to his girlfriend was found in his pillowcase aboard the team's plane when he was with Portland.2 comments on this story
Arenas scored 18 points in Washington's 109-97 victory at Milwaukee on Wednesday night. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Arenas is averaging 22.2 points after being limited to 15 games during the past two seasons following three operations on his left knee over 11/2 years.
Arenas is in the second season of an $111 million, six-year contract. He is one of the NBA's most popular players, but a series of injuries has limited his time on the court. Nicknamed Agent Zero, he has a career average of 22.7 points over nine NBA seasons.

Rapper Joe C. Dies
Joe C., Kid Rock's diminutive rapping sidekick, died in his sleep Thursday evening at his Taylor, Mich., home, according to an Atlantic Records press release.
Born Joseph Calleja, Joe C., 26, was afflicted since childhood with an intestinal disorder known as celiac disease. The disease prevented the rapper from growing above the height of 3'9″, a fact that Joe C. proudly proclaimed in one of his rap songs.
Rock added Joe C. to his lineup in 1994 after discovering that Joe C. was a longtime fan who knew all of Rock's lyrics. In 1998, Joe C. appeared on Kid Rock's hit disc "Devil Without a Cause" and toured in support of the album as part of Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker band.
Before his death, Joe C. reportedly was working on a solo album. Although he had to limit his touring and appearances due to his health, Joe C. was able to play at several dates on this year's Summer Sanitarium tour, featuring Rock, Metallica and Korn.
In an official statement, Rock said: "We have lost part of our family. Joey gave us and the world his love. … He gave us the gift of joy. Joey, thank you. We will never forget you. We love you."

Sydney, Feb 11 : Actress Naomi Watts will be the celebrity judge at the Tropfest short film festival this year.
The actress, who is turning 40 this year, will be accompanying five other judges in the panel, when the 16 finalists will be screened at The Domain next Sunday.
The panel will also include last year's winner Steve Baker and Tropfest founder John Polson.
Describing Watts as "a remarkable and accomplished woman" in the film industry, Polson said that it was an honour to have her as the judge.
The Oscar-nominated actress will also be presenting the Balance Water Women in Film award, meant to encourage female filmmakers to compete in the blokey world of cinema.
She said that she was pleased to be part of the elite judge panel, and doing her share for feminism.
"Australia being home, I naturally wanted to support my fellow Aussie filmmakers, and in particular, the women in our industry," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted her as saying.
Past celebrity judges of the short film festival include Watts's friend and former acting school classmate, Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, Samuel L. Jackson and Keanu Reeves.
