Now I can say it (although I'm STILL not sure I believe it): I am a marathoner!
tl;dr: I ran the Colorado Marathon yesterday in 4:42 and had a great race
Ok, this will be a long one…
This weekend has been intense with my birthday, family in town, the marathon and mother's day. Saturday Matt and I went out with my dad for my "last meal" (yum! Mexican!). I got to bed fairly early at 10:00 and actually slept pretty well (which is a good thing because the alarm went off at 3:30). I got up, got everything together and drove the mile to the bus station (original plan was to walk or bike, but the 32 degree temp changed my mind on that pretty fast). We loaded up into nice charter buses (with bathrooms!) and headed up the windy narrow road. I sat next to a nice, chatty older woman who was running her 26th marathon, and she gave me some pointers (don't go out too fast, enjoy every moment, finish strong).
Soon enough we were at the start line!…50 minutes before the start of the race… 😦 Normally this would have been fine, but it was FREEZING. I know you hardcore racers are used to this freezing before races, but this socal girl was having a rough time. I was wearing a throwaway pair of sweats and a sweatshirt, but I was still freezing. You people who walked around in tank tops and shorts the whole time are CRAZY.
We started right on time at 6:00. I swear to you, the first 12 miles went by like butter (is that even a phrase?). I was feeling so good I didn't even walk every two miles like I did in training – the first 20 second walk was to take a Gu at mile six (I have not yet mastered Gu on the go) then I didn't stop again until mile 10 (oof, uphill) and then mile 12 (Gu). I made it in this fashion until about mile 16 and was feeling really good and strong. The weather was FABULOUS. About 55 degrees and flawlessly sunny with no wind. Ahhh, so beautiful. Oh, yeah, and I PR'd my half marathon time AGAIN. 2:06 baby (and it felt easy! Soon, my little half marathon, you will be sub 2:00)
At mile 17 I saw my dad and Matt and switched water bottles. They were encouraging and I got a much needed boost. I trundled along and took another Gu at mile 18 – then came "goat head hill." (I have no idea what the name of the hill actually is, but Matt and I have been calling it goat head hill for months…and I don't know why…). Anyway, that hill is kind of a beast at mile 19, and I walked part (but not all!) of it. Hit the port-a-potty at the top, feeling strong and thinking: I've got this. my running form had deteriorated, but my mood was still good. Matt got a video of me talking about my REAL A goal: (you can't really hear it, but I say something about just wanting to finish with my legs still attached)
and then came my nemesis: the downhill. Every SINGLE time I've run this downhill I've been plagued with side cramps, and this time was no exception. UGH! So that 1/2 mile was punctuated with Matt trying to encourage me from his bike, and me telling him to "go away."
I finally got the cramp under control, and managed fairly well until about mile 22. Then I started getting moody. There was no crowd support on the bike path, and although I wasn't having any particular difficulties (other than, you know, having run 22 miles) I really just wanted to stop running. I don't think I did enough mental training during my training, because my whiny self won over for the rest of the marathon. I was well on my way to a 4:30 finish (my secret A goal) but the last 4.2 miles got me. When I would look down at my watch and see my shuffling had slowed down to 12:00 pace I thought, "hell, I can WALK at 13:00…so I'll just do that." I'm kind of annoyed with myself in retrospect, but at the same time it was my first race. So I ran/walked the last 4 miles. Looking back, I wish I had run more of mile 25 because when I kicked it in for the last .2 I still had some gas in the tank. Note to self: don't be such a whiny baby. 🙂
Garmin time was 4:42, chip time 4:44 (I guess I didn't run the tangents, Garmin beeped at 26.2 about .2 before the finish). 10:45 overall pace (no negative splits there, friends), which at least is still in the 10th minute (lol).
As I said, a little disappointed with my slow-poke at miles 22-25, but overall happy with the results. I didn't have any major problems, my family and friends were out in force to celebrate with me, and the weather was great. I definitely recommend this course, it was so beautiful. I did make a point to look around myself and smile at how cool it was. I remember at mile 22 thinking, "I'm running a MARATHON!" It's funny, because it has always seemed like such a crazy goal that I still have trouble believing I did it…
So am I going to run another one? I'm not sure…I feel like 4:30 is well within my reach so I may need to re-address that one day. For now though, it's half marathons and 10ks – this not being able to walk the day after a marathon nonsense is a little much for me! 🙂
Time to sign up for my next race! I'm thinking the Blue Sky Half marathon in October (definitely no PRs on THAT one – it's a super hilly trail race) but I may start looking for one in July…
EDIT: I re-read my post here, and looked again at my time. 4:42. That is almost FIVE HOURS OF RUNNING. That just struck me for some reason – even more than the distance? Nope, nope, 26 miles is FAR. Suddenly I'm feeling less bad about my performance! I get so caught up reading Runner's World and all your blogs I think my perspective gets skewed. I talked to a couple of "lay" people today who were just totally awed/appalled that people run that far or for that long. Pride re-engaged. 🙂

Serves: Makes approximately 20-25 canapes
- Place mussel meat into a food processor. If using live mussels place the unopened mussels in the kitchen sink and pour hot water over them, this makes them easier to open. Then open the shells, discard the beard, then remove the mussel from the shell. You could also use the mussel meat from thawed half shell mussels, as well as smoked or marinated mussel meat.
- Add all the other ingredients and pulse to mix. The batter should still be a little on the chunky side. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Heat the cooking oil in a fry pan. Place heaped teaspoons of the mixture gently in the oil and flatten down to form a small fritter/patty, fry until golden brown.
- Once cooked transfer on to a tray with paper towel, then move onto another tray and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Serve hot on a platter with tartare sauce on top and lemon wedges.
Tartare Sauce
- Mix together all of the ingredients in a small bowl and serve straight away or store in the fridge until needed.

In the mid-19th century, practically the whole of the area which today constitutes the Royal National City Park was transformed from a farmed countryside to an artificially created show-case landscape. But the main structure of the landscape, the interplay of woodland, forests and open ground, remained the same. The royal influence is most prominent around the three royal palaces: Ulriksdal, Haga and Rosendal.
Most of the palace environs are open to visitors. The Swedish Royal Court manages visiting arrangements.

NVMUG January, 2014 Meeting News
Northern Vermont Macintosh Users Group
The weather forecast was for freezing rain and icy roads, followed by rain and flooding. Some regular members missed the meeting for other reasons. So this was our smallest meeting ever, with just Midge Lubot, Michael Marks, and me, Hartley Jackson
The night before the meeting, I was cleaning our toilet when my iPod Touch slipped out of my shirt pocket into the water. I fetched it out as quickly as I could
The next morning I checked memory on my iPad to see what size of iPod Touch I was going to have to buy, 32 GB. It would cost $299 plus. I still had a year and a half to go on my Apple Care, but it would not cover water damage.
I had no hope when I turned my iPod Touch on.
But this is what I saw:
Mike Marks Is on Hot Air every other Sunday ar 12:30 on WGDR which broadcasts from Goddard College and covers an area from about Montpelier to the Hardwick - Danville area. You can hear it online this Sunday, January 12, at 12:30 at www.wgdr.org.
Mike favors oldies, early 60's music, and enjoys talking with listeners.
Mike likes Spotify available at www.spotify.com as a favorite source of music. It is free or $5.00 per month without the commercials. He prefers it over Pandora which is also a good source of music.
Mike also subscribes to Netflex for shows he cannot find elsewhere. He gets 3 disks at a time for $15.00 a month.
Midge Lubot asked how you can get rid of the list of pages on the left of a Pages document display.
On my computer running the current Pages Beta there is this little image above the display of the list of pages.
You can click on it to change the column of pages below.
On my and Midge's version of Pages you can also click on View > Show Thumbnails to show or hide the thumbnail pages.
Midge talked a little about Warren Walker who taught himself Photoshop and took pictures of the catalogs they used to make to sell pictures, and about not visiting Scott Pelok this Xmas. Scott was our early NVMUG leader. He has added solar power to their cottage in Canada to power their Macintosh computers.
I commented on excellent support by Ecamm for their Printopia program. With Printopia in your Mac you can print from you Mac and other Macs and iOS devices on you same network to printers that do not have this built in capability. It cost me $19.95 several years ago. When we began to have trouble with it printing, my Systems Preferences said I needed to update it. I should send my email address and they would email the update to me. They file the registration number by the email address, but my email address and changed. Fortunately I had used my old email address for so long that I remembered it and could email it to them. Some person on their end emailed back that they had changed my information so that I could complete finish updating. (If you are using Printopia and change your email address, use your System Preferences to change your address. I do not know how they can make money if they provide this kind of service for that one-time charge of $19.95
We did not take a collection for our NVMUG web site.

Actor John Travolta has been accused of alleged sexual battery after a masseur came forward and said he groped his bare buttocks and exposed himself during a massage in Palm Springs, CA in 2000.
The accuser also said that Travolta made comments about gay sexual fantasies during the alleged incident. Court documents obtained by RadarOnline stated that Travolta said he requested an intimate massage around 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 15, 2000 and continuously removed the towel exposing his bare buttocks despite the employees several attempts to cover him up.
The masseur claimed that Travolta asked him to sit in the steam room so he "wouldn't be alone." Once in the steam room, Travolta allegedly removed his towel and offered to give the masseur a massage himself.

He alleged that Travolta then "reached under his towel and began to rub his inner thigh." Following the alleged incident in the steam room, the accuser said that Travolta made lewd comments to him and he eventually reported the alleged incident to the Palm Springs Sheriff's Department. When an officer arrived, Travolta had already checked out.
Travolta faced similar allegations when he was sued after allegedly trying to have sex with a male masseur at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2012. Travolta, who is married to Kelly Preston, denied claims that he made sexual advances or masturbated in front of the man.
"This lawsuit is complete fiction and fabrication. None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred," a spokesperson for Travolta said at the time, according to the Daily Mail.

what is it that is more then a theory of time and still is able to link things that occur with one another?
Are these threads just a list posting times that more likely then not, occur for the benefit of everyone to think about?
I heard it said that the more we forget what we know that we have learned the less we know of what was learned because as age takes our minds and lives into new realities there is an increase in forgetting what was typed moment by moment... day to day... life to life.
When one tries to bind units of time or occurrences of events together to create newness in a life of being free where time means nothing to others, or even inside the effects of shattering membranes inside membranes of theoretical knowledge where there never is separated the essence of mans mind or present being in and of life we will find the experience of pure source resources.
Within the time machines we make to sequentialize collective thought processes and processing the few things that can become almost real yet still making nothing real worth the effect of ready made states of occurrences that repeat into the eddies of spinning blisses that float down the river of peace to the sea of effected patterns where every pattern influences the change of specific realisms of meta-surreal energies ...
As in the thought of forever there is what is know as transcendence of realities and emergence of energies where phollowing the normal enigma makes as much sense as an argument of about what to argue over. But the actual reason is indeterminate and babbled by beings so boring that even there creation was joked about as the effect that nothing has on fools who review the thoughts of others as less then real where ever there is a real thought it is considered an argumentation's point of preference.

If that babbling of mine is as boring as theirs at the math forums of illogical and argumentative idiots then there is a problem with thinking like I do.

Testosterone and estrogen are hormones with pivotal roles in sexual performance, fertility, cognitive function, and many of the physical changes associated with puberty. Testosterone is produced in relatively high amounts in men compared to women, while the reverse is true of estrogen. However, the balance between these two hormones may be just as important as the absolute quantities.
About Testosterone and Estrogen
Testosterone and estrogen are chemicals that are secreted into the bloodstream, allowing them to reach all the different tissues in the body. When they come into contact with a cell that has the proper receptor (an estrogen receptor for estrogen or an androgen receptor for testosterone), they can enter the nucleus of that cell and cause changes in gene activity.
The Testosterone to Estrogen Ratio in Men and Women
For men, testosterone levels are at their peak in young adulthood, when the testosterone-to-estrogen ratio is approximately 50 to 1. Starting around age 30, however, testosterone levels gradually decline. One reason for this change is that older men are more likely to have their testosterone converted to estradiol (a type of estrogen) by an enzyme called "aromatase." Older men still have more testosterone than they do estrogen, but the difference is not as great as it was when they were younger. Furthermore, as the ratio of testosterone to estrogen begins to shift, the chance that estrogen molecules will bind to androgen receptors (normally used by testosterone) becomes more likely. The body then responds by producing less testosterone, which shifts the balance even more.
In addition to aging, factors like obesity, alcohol abuse and certain medications will increase the relative amount of estrogen in men. If estrogen levels increase too much, men can begin to develop symptoms of feminization. These symptoms include:
- Development of breasts
- Increase in body fat
- Loss of muscle mass.
In women, estrogen levels are much higher than testosterone levels. However, the exact ratio changes based on signals tied to the menstrual cycle. During ovulation, testosterone levels increase, perhaps as a way of arousing sexual interest during peak fertility. If ovulation results in a pregnancy, estrogen levels increase, and continue to increase up until delivery. As women approach menopause, estrogen levels rapidly begin to decline, while testosterone levels drop off more gradually. This difference in how quickly estrogen and testosterone levels change also affects the ratio of the two hormones.
Restoring Balance
Medical options are available for restoring imbalances in hormone levels in people who are experiencing noticeable symptoms of a hormone imbalance. Men with too much estrogen, for example, may be given drugs that counteract estrogen, degrade aromatase or increase testosterone production. Because hormone balance can be so delicate, any treatment designed to modify hormone levels is best overseen by a doctor or medical professional.

Sterno – Clavicular Joint
Between the sterna end of the clavical, clavicular notch on the STERNUM and the costal cartilage of the 1st rib. To help compensate for sterna end of the clavical being larger than the clavicular notch the joint has a fibrous articular disc which completely subdivides the joint cavity into two. This articular disc whis is attached above to the superior aspect of the clavical, below to the costal cartilage of the 1st rib and it's periphery which attaches to the capsule.
Type of Joint
Synovial double plane or gliding joint.
1.Joint – Capsule:
Attached to articular margins. The capsule is lined with synovial fluid membrane, this is reflected onto both surfaces of articular discs.
2. Anterior Sterno – clavicular Ligaments:
Strenghtens the joint anteriorly. Fibres pass down and medially from the anterior surface of the clavical to the anterior surface of the manubrium.
3.Posterior Sterno – clavicular Ligament:
Strenghtens the joint posteriorly. The fibres pass downward and medially from the posterior surface of the clavical to the posterior surface of the manubrium.
4.Inter – clavicular Ligament:
Strenghtens the joint superiorly which run between both clavicles on their superior aspects (attachments), some of the fibres are attached to the superior part of the manubrium.
This will be discussed with the Acromio – clavicular Joint

Once my work at the Colombian embassy was done, there was no reason for me to stay in Quito any longer. So I went back to the hostel, took my bags and left for the bus terminal. A bus to the coastal town of Esmeraldas would take 6 hours at least, which meant that it would be late at night by the time I would reach – a situation that a single traveler should avoid as far as possible. So I decided to cut short my journey and bought a ticket to Santo Domingo de Los Colorados which was just 3 hours away.
I reached Santo Domingo at about 8 pm to find that the bus terminal was in a rough looking neighbourhood. There were groups of men standing around with skimpily clad prostitutes walking about. With my backpack I clearly stood out as a tourist and was the target of all their stares, so I dared not fish out my camera to take pictures. Fortunately there were many hostels around, and I could easily find a cheap room to spend the night.
Early next morning, I boarded a bus to Esmeraldas, and then another one going along the coast to a small town called Muisne (pronounced moo-ee-nay). There was a small arm of the sea to cross (very similar to Bengare in Mangalore) to get to the island of Muisne itself. I rented a sea facing room with a hammock outside, and proceeded to the beach to touch the waters of the Pacific Ocean for the first time ever.

Straight shooters
Speaking of skiing, two local skinny ski legends, twin sister biathlon Olympians Lanny and Tracy Barnes, are going down in the history books. On Sat., Dec. 2, at the Durango Winter Sports Foundation's annual gala, the two will be inducted into the DWSF Hall of Fame.
Every year, the Gala unofficially kicks off the winter sports season in Durango and honors those who have advanced the DWSF mission of ethical, respectful and disciplined competition.
The Barnes sisters grew up in Durango and raced for Durango Nordic. They made international headlines in 2014 when Tracy gave her berth for the Sochi Olympics to sister Lanny, who was struck ill during Olympic trials. Prior to that, Lanny had been performing better on the World Cup circuit, so Tracy thought it fair to give her sister the chance and sacrifice her own spot.
"Both Tracy and Lanny epitomize our core values," DWSF co-founder Mike Elliott said. "This dynamic duo has become an iconic role model for our youth. Not only have they upheld the highest standards in athletics, they have shown that camaraderie, sportsmanship and sisterhood come first."
The Gala will be held at Purgatory's new downtown digs on North Main Ave. from 4:30 -8 p.m. It is the largest fund-raising event of the year for the DWSF and features an auction, food, drink and dancing. Tickets can be bought in advance at www.durangowintersports.org or at the door.

New Orleans
Arriving in New Orleans we took a slightly circuitous route in an effort to avoid all the various parade routes criss-crossing the city and its suburbs. In the end we failed, primarily because the parade route of Thoth completely surrounded our hotel. The police advised us to park on the sidewalk and just wait for the parade to end. While we did that, Melanie went to try and catch beads from the last few floats which provided a good opportunity for David to take some picture we wouldn't otherwise have. As a result we have the end of Thoth pretty well documented. In this picture, notice the hooks behind the float members. Those are all the GOOD beads. The average everyday beads came from boxes by their feet.
The theme for Thoth this year (trying saying that aloud) was legends of romance. We're not sure what the first picture is supposed to represent, and we're not really sure about this one either. Our best guess is that given the involvement of Hades (the skulls), and Hermes (the winged sandals) it involved Orpheus and Eurydice.
We do know for sure that this float represented Romeo and Juliet. Notice in this case that the hooks are almost completely empty. This seems to be about standard. Each float has a little bit of a different journey and a different bead density. This was near the end of the 3-hour parade route so floats with a lot of beads became suddenly exceedingly generous, whereas others were pretty minimal. Each Krewe has a special medallion bead as well. Thoth is the Egyptian god of knowledge and their medallion was a representation of Thoth who has the head of a jackal.
We mention this because Melanie caught one strand of beads from her back-of-the-line position and it happened to be a medallion. This float represents the Lady of the Lake from Arthurian legend. The nudity associated with Mardi Gras is sort of a myth. It exists and it is rampant but it is really associated with the French Quarter during Mardi Gras. The parades themselves do not enter the French Quarter (too narrow) and a more family atmosphere prevails. This is the only nudity we have amongst our pictures if you count it.
We stayed at the Hilton Riverwalk and when we finally reached it we found ourselves on the 26th floor. Many of the Krewes for the day's parades were also staying in the hotel and it was rather chaotic to say the least. We had a nice view of New Orleans out our window though. The French Quarter would be just off to the right of this picture. On the left side is a small four-story red building with an awning. That is the Ambassador Hotel which we mention because we watched both the Orpheus and Bacchus parades directly across the street from it. More on that later.
The Bacchus parade started at 6:00 PM. We arrived at St. Charles street at about 6:30 to find an elaborate set of constructions of scaffolding, plywood, duct tape, ladders, and whatever else people could use to rope off territory. It was stunning. People had clearly been there all day, setting up netting and blankets even to catch extra stuff. We fled back to Tchoutopoulas St. and our aforementioned location. The Ambassador Hotel was serving food and drinks out front so we sat on the curb and had a few adult beverages while we waited. The parade itself arrived sometime after 9:00 and lasted until midnight. You might say we were a bit early. We caught so much stuff that we returned to the hotel in the middle to empty out the backpack we had brought to fill. On the very last float we caught a purple drawstring bag with Mardi Gras masks painted on it which turned out to be great for storing loot. We also collected seven Bacchus medallions, though none of the ones with glowing green eyes that actually spoke 'Hail Bacchus'. We have no pictures of Bacchus and their 'Denizens of the Deep' theme. Most of them were very impressive but after seeing manta rays, sharks, killer whales, jellyfish, eels, the Kraken, and crocodiles, we have to question the inclusion of the float titled 'Schools of Mahi Mahi'. This picture is of a fais-do-do on Bourbon Street the next day. A fais-do-do is a sort of impromptu parade with a band and they happen all year long in New Orleans.
Bourbon Street is crowded all year round, though primarily late at night. This is an average scene on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. We can't even describe how crowded it was at 2 o'clock in the morning, and that's only partially because we can't really remember. We don't include the 'World Famous Love Acts' sign in our no-nudity claim from earlier. It's important to note also that nothing relating to Mardi Gras really happens here. All of this and the antics that are generally linked to Mardi Gras are fairly restricted to the French Quarter and are completely whimsical and unplanned. If you wander around long enough you'll see everything. If you stay out of the French Quarter completely, you probably won't be subject to anything you might consider objectionable. If you don't believe there's anything you would consider objectionable, then you probably haven't wandered around the French Quarter long enough.

US Zone
US economy is bubbling nicely, a weaker world economy seems to help. Consumer confidence is improving, retail sales are positive, but the housing market rebound has stalled. Annualized economic growth is about 4%. But the overall outlook is tranquil, complacently so. Fed Chairman Janet Yellen testified before congress that she would stop using the word "patient" to describe her approach to rate increases. Stock markets took these comments bullishly. Volatility has disappeared from the economy and markets, raising the question whether this moderation has prompted the sort of risk taking that produced the crisis? The whiff of deflation is everywhere and that is not good.
European Zone
The rich world's economy, save that of the US and Canada, still looks disappointingly weak. Europe is flirting with recession. Euro area growth at 0.8% is only half of its expected pace. In Britain and Germany, growth has accelerated. Stagnation in in Italy and France is becoming entrenched. Government bonds, generally a measure of expectations for growth and interest rates, have fallen sharply. Europe lacks oomph. Loose monetary conditions have not produced the expected impact. Governments need to introduce programs to boost public investment in infrastructure. Borrowing at these low interest levels will support today's growth, boost tomorrow's and leave the recovery less dependent on private debt. Another solution is more of a supply side reform of free trade, lowering barriers and improving training systems for example. Improvements on these fronts would lead to stronger, stable growth and reduce the odds that the next recession begins with rates near zero. Politicians must be courageous to push through these unpopular reforms.

Registered Charity Number 299459
Ipswich Sports Club for the Disabled
- Over the years our club has been in contact with several other disabled clubs in the East Anglian region although some of these clubs have fallen by the way-side, we still have contact with many still in existence.
- Every year a group of our members travel to these other clubs to take part in Sports Days where members from various clubs are encouraged to compete in a variety of activities. It's all done in good fun but can be very competitive.
- Clubs we are currently involved with include; Basildon, Southend, Thurrock, Havering & Free Spirits of Canvey.
- We also attend a much bigger event in Hinckley, Leicestershire which is run by the Hinckley & Burbage lions. Members arrive Friday, stay over night in a local school and attend the Sports Weekend at the local Sports Centre.
- Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, we have not been able to hold a Sports Day in Ipswich for a couple of years. Due to the expense of holding the event, we need at least 85 competitors attending and the interest has been far below this recently. It is unfortunate as many members from other Clubs regularly comment on our Sports Days being some of the most friendly and enjoyable days during the year.

DENVER — Investigators say a man who died when he was dragged about five blocks by a bus in suburban Denver deliberately crawled under the vehicle when it was stopped.
Littleton Police Cmdr. Trent Cooper said Tuesday that the Regional Transportation District bus driver will not be charged in the death of 31-year-old Patrick Tshudy, of Greenwood Village. The Denver Post reports investigators came to their conclusion after interviews with witnesses and watching surveillance video of Thursday's incident.
The driver of another vehicle warned the bus driver by swerving in front of the bus and bringing it to a stop.
Tshudy's motives are unclear, and the investigation continues.

After I uploaded the images I realised my choices for this week are very "summery"; weirdly enough this is the first day since I have moved to Dubai where I can say I have experienced winter. I guess your psychology plays a major role when you're not paying much attention.
I am absolutely in love with this Proenza Schouler strap bag. The colour combination is the perfect purchase for an item that can be worn both during the day and at night.
These statement Anna-Karin Karlsson sunglasses say it all. With a simple outfit all you need to do is put these on and you are set to turn heads. Same goes for these diamond encrusted moon and star earrings by Lydia Courteille; they are oozing with elegance and sophistication.
With a pair of simple black leggings, a loose fitted off the shoulder sweater and an oversized handbag; these Givenchy sneakers are all you will need to make your outfit only that much more perfect; do not forget your red lipstick!
One of my favourite items however has to be this "Lanvin: I love you" coffee table book. There is nothing more valuable, beautiful and elegant than having a coffee table book to add to your living room ambience than a book that actually means something to you. Since fashion is my thing, I would definitely add this to my collection of "Love looks not with the eyes" – Alexander Lee McQueen and obviously "Chanel".
For item details just tap below:

5- Lanvin

Animal Legal Defense Fund
September 2017
Tony, a Siberian-Bengal tiger, has been forced to spend his entire life behind bars, a prisoner at the Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete, Louisiana. It is unconscionable that one person, Michael Sandlin, manipulated Louisiana law and used his personal connections to secure an exemption from the states ban on private possession of big cats. Sandlin, Tonys captor, has a history of animal welfare violations. I ask that you do everything in your power to see that Tony is released to a sanctuary where he can get the care he needs and live out his remaining days in peace in a natural setting with the veterinary care he requires.
Sign an online petition.
And/Or better yet, make direct contact:
John Bel Edwards
Governor, State of Louisiana
PO Box 94004
Baton Rouge LA 70804
phone (225) 342-7015
online contact form
Lately, concerned truck stop visitors have reported that Tonys health appears to be in decline. A life of psychological and physical distress is taking its toll on Tony. Its critical that we take every possible path to free him and let him live out his life at a reputable sanctuary where he can enjoy the space, environment, and veterinary care he deserves.
Tonys captor, Michael Sandlin, is determined to keep profiting from displaying Tony as a roadside attraction and has told media outlets that he has spent $700,000 to keep Tony at the truck stop.
Thankfully we are able to utilize the Animal Legal Defense Funds pro bono attorney network for support, but the costs of litigation are still great. The Animal Legal Defense Fund has been fighting in court for Tony since 2011, and now time is running out and we need your help to stay in this fight.
With your support, we can keep up the long battle to free Tony and let him live out the rest of his life at a sanctuary where he has access to the environment and veterinary care he deserves.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!

Comprising 20 'open letters from a part-time petrolhead,' Alfa Mail looks at much more than the Alfa Romeo marque. Cars, aircraft, motorcycles – even tractors – feature in this irreverently personal view of internal combustion, 'the great enabler,' for better or worse. Or maybe just for fun. This book goes beyond the normal car book format, exploring what made Alfa special, and asking whether the future of the marque is important or relevant in today's world.
Alfa Mail is about Alfa Romeos. What made them great – and what will probably make them extinct. It's also about other cars too – great, good, bad and appalling – plus planes, bikes, places, people, prejudice ... and tractors. Motor vehicles are the greatest practical enablers of the 20th Century (even IT can't physically take us to Hollywood, or hospital), and stir our emotions like few other artefacts. Artefacts and their creators make history. Thus, this book is also about great endeavours and sad whimpers. About inspired artists, dedicated engineers, reckless drivers, and intellectually barren marketing people.
Fortunately, for sanity's sake, this book is also quite happy to take the piss. And Alfa enthusiasts are used to jokes. Combines scholarship with unbridled prejudice.

About the author
Justin Allison grew up in Dorset among cars, planes, motorbikes and tractors – as well as guns and horses. Leaving a local public school at 16, he spent his Old Boys membership fee on a well-used Triumph Tiger 110, a motorcycle 99% as fast – and 45% as stable – as a Bonneville. His varied background has seen him study architecture, service electric milk floats, work in a scrapyard, and rebuild a 1934 AC Roadster.
Joining a famous London advertising agency in 1970, Justin has won several awards, both as a freelance copywriter and as a creative director. His writing covers journalism, for publications such as Alfa Romeo Driver, poetry, for which he has been commended by the Thomas Hardy Society, and limited-edition art books, such as Relatively Virginal.

NHL.com staff picks: Selke Trophy
Experts split on Kopitar, Bergeron for award given to best defensive forward; Kesler also a finalistNHL.com @NHLdotcom
The 2016 NHL Awards will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on June 22, and NHL.com staffers will be providing their selections for the winners.
The Selke Trophy is awarded "to the forward who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game." The finalists for the 2015-16 season are Anze Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings, Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins and Ryan Kesler of the Anaheim Ducks.
Here are NHL.com's staff picks for the Selke Trophy:
Amalie Benjamin, Staff Writer
Patrice Bergeron: It's three straight for Bergeron, who won the award in 2014 and 2015. The fancy stats support Bergeron, plus he spent (quite a lot of) time backchecking in the NHL All-Star Game, which practically should guarantee a win.
Brian Compton, Deputy Managing Editor
Anze Kopitar: Kopitar was the best two-way player in the League this season. Not only did he have 74 points in 81 games, he averaged nearly 21 minutes of ice time per game, finished second in the League with a plus-34 rating and won 53.5 percent of his faceoffs.
Video: NYR@LAK: Kopitar tips OT winner past Lundqvist
Nicholas J. Cotsonika, Columnist
Anze Kopitar: Playing against the elite centers in the Western Conference, he put up excellent possession numbers for an excellent possession team. Having the puck is the best defense.
Tom Gulitti, Staff Writer
Anze Kopitar: After being a runner-up to Bergeron each of the past two seasons, it's Kopitar's turn to win. He ranked third in the League among forwards in shot attempts differential (332), led all forwards in ice time with 1,690:12 and ranked second in plus/minus at plus-34.
Adam Kimelman, Deputy Managing Editor
Patrice Bergeron: Bergeron started 55.09 percent of his shifts outside the offensive zone but was a plus-237 in 5-on-5 shot attempts for the Bruins, who had a differential of minus-66. He also won 57.1 percent of his faceoffs and was a plus-12 in 19:50 of ice time per game on a team that had a plus-6 goal differential.
Video: BOS@TOR: Bergeron ties the game with a PPG
Mike G. Morreale, Staff Writer
Patrice Bergeron: He led the League in faceoffs taken (1,978) and won 57.1 percent. He won 389 defensive-zone faceoffs, averaged 19:50 of ice time and had 68 points in 80 games.
Shawn P. Roarke, Director of Editorial
Patrice Bergeron: He already has won the Selke three times in the past four seasons, and should make it four times in five seasons. There may not be a better defensive forward in his generation. This season, Bergeron's Corsi (shot attempts differential at even strength) was 56 percent and he started 54 percent of his shifts in the defensive zone. He was also Boston's top penalty killer and won 57.1 percent of his faceoffs.
Dan Rosen, Senior Writer
Patrice Bergeron: Not only did Bergeron finish with 68 points, ninth among centers, he won 57.1 percent of his faceoffs and had a 55.81 shot attempts percentage (SAT) despite having the second most defensive zone faceoffs among centers in the League (465). Boston averaged 8.4 percent more shot attempts per game with him on the ice than without him.

Hi Slappy thanks for commenting. I think about that might depend upon the type of craft it is. For us, we used to do cleaning soap on weekends at craft fairs and when it received to be a bit much we recruited family members to assist us prepare dinner and package product. In the long run, it ended up being more than we could do with work and other obligations so we let it go for awhile. I nonetheless hope to get back into crafting in the future, however the crafts I do now I put on Etsy – I can manage that by simply only offering the number of objects I can really make at one time.
The flexibility to adapt and remain effectively versatile is what will proceed to open doorways and create alternatives alongside the way in which in sports business, particularly in the event you have no idea exactly what you'd love to do career-wise. Though scrumptious treats displayed within the window at your business can help entice window shoppers, it'll do no good for many who aren't physically in the space. For this (and different reasons), it is essential to have a name that leaves nothing however cupcakes to be desired.
I was in advertising and gross sales and so was 'on show' each day and had to find clothes that did not thoughts being crushed sitting in a car or behind a desk all day, and always managed to one way or the other look fresh and confident. Think about what would happen if the local cosmetology company was identified for shutting down film shoots over one thing as silly as the makeup artist. Administrators and producers wouldn't wish to shoot on location there. It's some huge cash to lose, even on a smaller budget movie.
It's a easy buffer stock system that ensures people have the funds for to buy meals and shelter, and that minimal standards are kept. Hi, I used to have a dessert and coffee shops at two of the most important purchasing malls in BKK. It's good to be very cautious. generally it is not that simple. Many individuals failed in this kind of business. These days, I'm a seller of tea and roasted coffee for a lot of retailers and corporations in Thailand. The purpose is that ultimately of each month the invoice is larger than you expected. It's not as the identical as they advised you about the expense.

BOSTON -- Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez ambushed and gunned down two men after a chance encounter inside a nightclub nearly two years ago, prosecutors said Thursday in an indictment that places the gun in his hands weeks before he signed a five-year, $40 million contract and went on to catch 51 passes and score five touchdowns during the 2012 NFL season. Mikko Koivu Jersey . Hernandez was already jailed in connection with a mans 2013 shooting death and was indicted anew on two counts of first-degree murder and other charges in connection with the July 2012 killings of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. A third man was wounded in that attack. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in the killing last year of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, whose body was found in an industrial area near Hernandezs home in North Attleborough. He was released by the Patriots last summer after being arrested in Lloyds death, and his lawyers said he looks forward to proving his innocence of the new charges. Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley would not say whether prosecutors suspected a link between the two cases beyond their accusations of Hernandezs involvement. According to Conley, the night of the 2012 shootings unfolded when Hernandez and an associate went into the Cure Lounge in Boston at about the same time as the other men. The prosecutor would not describe their encounter but said there was no evidence Hernandez knew the victims. After the men left, Hernandez followed in an SUV and pulled up alongside them as they were stopped at a red light in Bostons South End, Conley said. "Aaron Hernandez fired a .38-calibre revolver multiple times from the drivers side of his vehicle into the passengers side of the victims vehicle," killing de Abreu and Furtado, Conley said. The case remained unsolved for months, but following Lloyds killing, Conley said, the SUV was found in Bristol, Connecticut, where Hernandez grew up, and the gun used in the double shooting was recovered from a person with ties to Hernandez. Previous court documents said the vehicle was found at the home of Hernandezs uncle. A grand jury heard testimony from more than 24 witnesses and examined more than 80 pieces of evidence before returning the indictments, Conley said. He said Hernandezs notoriety played no role in the investigation. "This was never about Aaron Hernandez," he said. "This case was about two victims who were stopped, ambushed and senselessly murdered on the streets they called home." Hernandez is looking forward to his day in court, said his lawyers, Charles Rankin and James Sultan. "It is one thing to make allegations at a press conference and another thing to prove them in a courtroom," they said in a statement. The Patriots had no comment. De Abreu and Furtado were close friends who attended school and served in the military together in Cape Verde before coming to the United States, said lawyer William Kennedy, who represents their families in a $6 million civil lawsuit against Hernandez. "They were two young men who had come to this country to make a better life for themselves ... and they were cut down in really the prime of their life," he said. Hernandezs cousin Tanya Singleton was charged with criminal contempt of court. She was given immunity to testify before the grand jury but refused, Conley said. Singletons lawyer, E. Peter Parker, called her prosecution "aggressive and unnecessary." He said Singleton, who is being treated for breast cancer, has suffered a number of health setbacks since being jailed more than six months ago. Hernandez was expected to be arraigned on the new charges in Suffolk Superior Court next week. He is expected to be tried first in the Lloyd case. His lawyers filed a motion Thursday to dismiss the first-degree murder indictment against him in the Lloyd slaying, saying prosecutors hadnt shown enough evidence to support it. Also Thursday, a man described by prosecutors as Hernandezs "right-hand man," Ernest Wallace, pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in Lloyds death. He had previously denied an accessory charge. AP Sports Writer Jimmy Golen contributed Custom Minnesota Wild Jersey . -- The Vancouver Whitecaps remained unbeaten with a scoreless draw at the New England Revolution on Saturday. Eric Staal Wild Jersey . Advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals should be a formality after Lionel Messi scored a penalty and Dani Alves added a late second to secure a commanding 2-0 advantage over City in the round of 16 on Tuesday. http://www.hockeywildstore.us/Jared-Spurgeon-Jersey/ .com) - Colorado may be ahead of the Vancouver Canucks in the Western Conference standings, but they are a club that the Avalanche may want to avoid in the playoffs.CLEVELAND -- Only hours before this seasons home opener, the Indians guaranteed Jason Kipnis will be around for more than a few more. The All-Star second baseman agreed to a $52.5 million, six-year contract on Friday, binding him to the Indians through the 2019 season. The deal includes a club option for 2020. Kipnis signed the contract one day after turning 27, giving him a birthday gift of wealth and security hell never forget. "Its an amazing feeling to get something done," said Kipnis. "I wanted to stay here. Im excited about being here." Kipnis is the latest core player to be signed to a long-term deal by the Indians, who reached agreements with outfielder Michael Brantley (4 years, $25 million) and catcher Yan Gomes (6 years, $23 million) in the past two months. "Its the ownership, the top, showing us that they believe in us, that weve got the guys who can win games now and we want them stick around," Kipnis said. "Im excited about be a part of that." Kipnis had already signed a one-year deal worth $554,900 in the major leagues and $305,700 in the minors. The new deal calls for a $1 million signing bonus and salaries of $2 million this year, $4 million in 2015, $6 million in 2016, $9 million in 2017, $13.5 million in 2018 and $14.5 million in 2019. The Indians option for 2020 is at $16.5 million with a $2.5 million buyout. He gets a hotel suite on road trips. And he would get a $500,000 payment if hes traded. Kipnis agreement covers this season, all three of his arbitration-eligible years and extends through at least the first two seasons after he could have become a free agent. The Indians and Kipnis agents had been negotiating a deal for months. "This was our third attempt at it, so its good to finally be able to get it done," general manager Chris Antonetti said . "Its a complicated thing. You have to figure out what the right value is, what the appropriate way is to share risk, and this was the time we were able to do it." Kipnis developed into one of the ALs rising staars last season, batting . Alex Stalock Wild Jersey. 284 with 17 homers and 84 RBIs in 149 games. He also stole 30 bases, scored 86 runs and led the Indians in runs, hits, RBIs and steals. Kipnis has endeared himself to the Indians, manager Terry Francona and Cleveland fans with his hustling, win-at-all-costs playing style. That grit on display Wednesday night in the ninth inning in Oakland, when after twice failing to move two runners over with a bunt, Kipnis beat out a fielders choice, stole second and scored the go-ahead run as the Indians rallied for a 6-4 win in the second game of a doubleheader. "That was Kip in a bottle," Francona said. "Thats the way Kip plays. Youd see a lot of guys maybe not get the bunt down, strike out, get mad because we asked him to bunt and we lose." After going 92-70 last season and making the AL playoffs for the first time since 2007, the Indians have shown a strong commitment to winning -- now. That hasnt always been the case in Cleveland, where fans have seen the front office trade star pitchers CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee before they could leave as free agents. These new deals, coming a year after the Indians signed free agents Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn to multiyear contracts, are a signal the club intends to compete for a championship. "Its so awesome," Swisher said. "This is not a one-and-done organization anymore. The moves that were making are all the right moves." The signings, too, have changed outside perception of the Indians, who havent won a World Series title since 1948. "When I was on other teams in coming to Cleveland, if you didnt sweep, it was a bad road trip," said Swisher, who previously played with the Yankees, Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics. "For us now, people are realizing that when you come in here, were going to fight for it. I think last years record speaks for itself, but that wasnt our goal, to go out and have one great, amazing season and then just fall off. Everything is going in the right direction."

As Deputy General Manager – Information Security at SRF, Rajeev Prakash Verma works on strategies across the business on complex, large scale initiatives. Prior to SRF, Verma was Group Lead at Ameriprise Financial Services, and was also a GRC consultant at Wipro consulting. He has comprehensive experience in building high performance teams, insourcing vendor operations, auditing IT general controls, business transitions, risk assessments, and designing security architecture for international clients from multiple sectors such as BFSI, telecom and IT services.
Key security initiatives:
Rajeev Prakash Verma was responsible for deploying customized, in-house solutions for business requirements around information security. There was a need for a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution with geo fencing. However, the challenge lay in auto-enrolling every device as soon as a person enters the office. As SRF embraced BYOD, users needed to have control on their mobile phones when they left the organization. Additionally, the company also had to devise information rights management to bring in data loss prevention. Verma played a key role in setting up digital signatures with email gateway. All critical emails with invoice or quotes goes signed to vendors, following DS validation on the gateway to avoid fake emails or invoices. Verma helped SRF move to zero paper in appraisal cycles. All DD's are now digitally signed and protected for the individual using IRM. The entire appraisal process has now been automated and made secure.

Three things to consider in a change process
To make a change is not so remarkable in theory, but in reality it can be quite laborious. Many companies and organisations have fought to make everyone "go in the same direction", "get on the train" or "work towards the same goal". The expressions that are connected to a change process are many, but to reach success the way to approach is always more or less the same.
Change processes for survival
The keywords are dialogue, understanding, commitment and above all safety. It takes time and there are no shortcuts. But one thing is for certain – it can be the difference between winning or disappearing in the longer perspective. When Charles Darwin lay the foundation for his theory of evolution he concluded that those individuals who did the best and thereby were able to perpetuate their genes weren't the strongest, wisest or even the most good-looking – but the ones who were most able to adapt to change. One may think that today's human being who has been bred through thousands of years by this principle of selection would be well-prepared for change. But it's not quite so easy. In line with society changing faster and faster, higher demands are placed on the individual's ability to change.
1. Reflect on human nature
A basic need for every human being is safety, and it's easy to understand that change in particular can be perceived as a threat against this. Especially if the change comes from "above" and you don't really understand why or what is expected from you. Maybe you are also afraid of loosing some advantage because you haven't understood keeping at the front in the right way, or that there's a hidden agenda. Leading up to change many people get a feeling of reluctance and uncertainty. This can be observed in openly expressed dissatisfaction or quiet opposition. The most important thing for the person who initiates the change will be to take into account human nature and create as much safety as is possible in the process.
2. Define the process and draw a map
But maybe it's not so easy to create security in a change process that you don't completely grasp. That's why it's a good investment to put time and energy on gathering information, analysing it and creating target images. With this material you can go on and define the process and draw a map of it. This platform should then be communicated and established in the organisation. There is a lot to gain on becoming as clear and concrete as possible. When everyone understands why and gets as clear an image as possible of what is about to happen, you create security and also good conditions for the change to happen. Next step is about implementing the target images, which often mean that everyone involved gets the chance to make these images their own.
3. Make use of pedagogical methods and tools
The methods for this are many, but their common factor is being built on participation. When individuals feel involved and get the chance to shape the goals based on their own realities, the chances increase considerably that this will really happen. At the core is a dialogue that can happen in different forms for example in workshops, meetings, study visits, social events, digitally in the form of e-learning, computer games and on the intranet. Asking questions, turning and twisting things, trying out arguments and discussions are important elements for a common view and for the individual to take the step to becoming an active part of the process. It's important to give space also for negative views and to discuss these, but holding the main course of direction focused on solutions and possibilities. Creating security and a positive, inspiring atmosphere give a lot of energy that can be used to come closer to the goal.
Stop the addiction to change
Some companies and organisations are constantly trying to make changes, but fail. The reasons for this are of course varied, but there is a great danger here. When a change process is initiated and management don't have enough knowledge, power or commitment to realise it in a good way, change fatigue can arise in the organisation.

Just-a-Minute: The Game
The Game
Just-A-Minute invites the student speaker to talk on a given topic for sixty seconds without hesitation, repetition, or deviation. Two teams of four will compete in a challenging game that calls for strong speaking and listening skills.
The materials required for Just-A-Minute are simply a stopwatch and two sets of four buzzers. A student host conducts the game and a teacher may act as the final judge should any disputes occur.
There are two important skills required over and above knowledge of the subject, and they are speaking skills and listening skills. The speaker must be clear, confident, and able to speak without hesitation or deviation from topic. Opposing team members must listen carefully in order to determine if any of those three rules are broken.
The Rules
To start the game, the host will call a letter from The ABC's of the Battle of the Atlantic.
The first team to hit the buzzer gets the opportunity to choose a member to say the rhyming couplet. If correct, that individual will have 'just a minute' to speak on that aspect of the Battle of the Atlantic.
For example, if 'H' is called and the rhyme is correctly identified, "H is for Halifax, primary port of our nation&rdquo, that team member will be given one minute to speak on that topic, without hesitation, deviation, or reptition. The focus is open: Halifax, key port in the battle or vital link with Britain. Etc.
The opposing team members must listen carefully in case any of the three rules are broken. If they feel that the speaker has broken a rule they may buzz and challenge. The clock is stopped.
If the host accepts the challenge, the challenging team gets one point and takes over the remaining time on the clock. The new speaker will continue with the topic but cannot repeat what the other team's speaker has already said. The opposing team must now listen carefully to make sure that the rules are followed.
At any time, when a team has the floor, the speaker may 'tag' a team member to take over. When a tag is made, the clock is stopped in order tha the new speaker may rise and is restarted upon the direction of the host.
- It is suggested that two students act as score keeper and time keeper.
- 1 point for every 10 seconds a team member speaks.
- 1 point for a correct challenge.
- 5 points to the team holding the floor at the end of the 60 seconds.
- A team that speak for one minute without being challenged will receive a total of 11 points.
As a knockout competition with 6-8 teams per class, Just-a-Minute provides an excellent academic exercise. The game also offers a grade or school challenge.
Just-a-Minute lends itself to set design. This challenges the art department, shop and science department to build simple buzzers and design and construct simple sets.
Video taping the game series is an exercise worth considering as it lends itself to review of student public speaking skills and knowledge of their subject.
Just-a-Minute is the creation of Ian Messiter, and was produced as a BBC radio game show. Permission to modify for use as an educational project was granted to Tom Dykes in 1991.
The Just-a-Minute game format has been used with great success as a vehicle for reinforcing concepts, challenging student abilities to address issues and stimulating discussion.
Just-a-Minute format has been used to focus on such topics as Drug Awareness, Fire Safety, Bullying, and Shop Theft. Maplehurst PS, St. Mark, St. Michael, and St. Raphael are some of the Halton schools where the Just-a-Minute programme has been used. Halton Regional Police and Burlington Fire Department have also participated in the presentations.

The Best Soccer Lineup of My History
When we try to talk about the best players of all time, we can coincide regarding some stars players and golden eras, but it would be unrealistic to think that a person who was born in mid-80s, like me, can say that Maradona, Pele, Cruyff or Di Stefano were the best players of the history. Watching these players in some games or in small archive fragments that usually it shows only their brilliant moments, is insufficient to sustain an objective opinion on the matter. So, I decided to build a gala team, with the 11 best players I watched since I likes this beautiful sport. I present The Best Soccer Lineup of My History.
The team would play with formation 4-3-3, same used by Ajax with coach Van Gaal at end of 90s, similar to Brazil with Scolari in the World Cup Korea-Japon 2002, or the reinvented per Pep Guardiola with FC Barcelona in 2010.
Goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel
The «big danish» has all necessary qualities for this position, leadership, mental strength, skills to start playing with ball on the ground, strong, safety with air balls, unbeatable one vs one and feline reflexes. Peter was a key player of the most of the Manchester United successes at end of 90s, and leader of the national team of Denmark, championship of Euro 92. Other great goalies as Gianluigi Buffon, Edwin Van der Sar, Iker Casillas and Oliver Kahn could be here too.
Right defender: Marcos Evangelista de Morais «Cafu»
The Brazilian player is indisputable on this position, he played three consecutive World Cup finals (1994,1998,2002) winning two of them and being captain on the last one in 2002. Cafu is considered for a lot people as the best right defender of the history.
First central defender: Lothar Matthäus
The German, that also played as midfielder par of his career, was a fundamental pilar of Bayern Munich and his national team, guiding both to obtain championships in the 90s.
Second central defender: Paolo Maldini
The Italian is, without any doubts, the best defender I saw. His elegance, strength and speed, made him lead of the AC Milán, winner of seven Scudettos and five European Cups.
Left defender: Roberto Carlos
At some point of his career he was criticized for supposed «defensive limitations», but over the years he clarified any doubt respect his performance as left defender, being example for every player to wish to play that position. His special skill to score from long and short free kicks was always remembered. He was champion of the World Cup with Brazil and won everything with Real Madrid.
Defensive midfielder: Frank Rijkaard
The player dazzled with his football in AC Milán and Ajax de Amsterdam, winning some European Cups and local championships. He stood out playing with the Holland national team, winning one European Cup. In a position where is an imperial necessity understanding perfectly the game, the Netherlander was so good in a reading of the game, that after retiring from the fields he became a coach, obtaining great successes driving FC Barcelona.
First midfielder: Xavi Hernandez
I never saw a player able to turn on around himself in any circumstance of the game, as the spanish player did. He manage with exactitude and precision the times of his team and he was who decided when attack, defend or pause. He was one of the keys in all successes of the Spain national team, winning two Euros and one World Cup. He was considered per Pep Guardiola as the extension of the coach on the field FC Barcelona.
Second midfielder: Zinedine Zidane
The French, elegant and precise with the ball on the ground, lethal on the air and a magic game builder. He demonstrated all his quality everywhere he played, winning European Cups with Juventus and Real Madrid, as Euro and World Cup with his national team. After finish his career as a player, he dedicated himself to be a coach, and in just two years he won all the trophies with Real Madrid.
Right wing: Lionel Messi
The Argentinian has questioned the supremacy of stars as Pele and Maradona, in a debate that looks inclined to him everyday. He won absolutely everything with FC Barcelona and drove his national team to the final of the World Cup in Brazil 2014.
Left wing: Ronaldinho
He is synonymous of «jogo bonito» , a player capable of lifting all the fans in each intervention during the game,
como si de una obra de teatro se tratara. Puso al Santiago Bernabéu de pie en aplausos jugando con el FC Barcelona, lo ganó todo a nivel de clubes y también con su selección. Hoy en día nos maravilla jugando futsal en la India.
Delantero Centro: RONALDO
Algunos le llamaron «gordito», otros «il fenomeno». Lo tenía todo, fuerza, velocidad, habilidad, impecable definición, marcaba goles de cabeza, de pecho, de espalda, de tacón, no erraba penales y hacía ver muy mal a cuanto arquero le pusieran en frente. En un deporte de 11 contra 11, Ronaldo era capaz de ganar partidos y campeonatos sólo, bastaba con tenerle en cancha junto a otros 10. Se dio el lujo de ganar en España con Real Madrid y FC Barcelona, así como en Italia con Inter Milán y AC Milán. Ganó dos veces la Copa del Mundo con Brasil y es el segundo máximo goleador en la historia de los Mundiales. Su más dura batalla la ganó dos veces, cuando fue operado de sus rodillas y volvió para seguir deleitándonos.
Director Técnico: Johan Cruyff
Tras pasearme por una larga lista, con tipos de la talla de Mourinho, Guardiola, Del Bosque, Fergusson, Scolari, Low, entre otros… Hay uno que ha dejado su marca como ninguno en el mundo del fútbol, el creador del fútbol total, Johan Cruyff.
