Advice is Nice: Part Three
5 May
Asking Experts: Staffing
Think you can't buy peace of mind? Think again! Peace of mind comes in the form of great staff leading your operations. I interviewed Barbara Cartmel from Dahl-Morrow International, an executive search firm who staff companies and enable companies to expand to foreign markets.
1.What is the first thing a business needs to consider when finding the right people to lead their operations?
Businesses need to consider the cultural and market differences in foreign markets.
2.Is it better to trust staff that are already in the company, rather than find someone new?
It is important to find members for a leadership team who understand and can handle these challenges. This often means that hiring key local staff is more effective than an internal transfer.
3.What are the biggest mistakes US companies make in terms of finding people to lead new operations?
US Companies can sometimes expect that internal staff with little or no international experience in a particular market can rise to these challenges in a very short time period. This is usually not the case.
4.What international barriers may occur in language or etiquette between a business and their new staff? How are these overcome?
An Executive Search firm with solid experience of the US home market and the international market can be invaluable in providing advice on how to be poised for expansion in international markets. This means advising on potential barriers in language, culture and etiquette.
5. Do you have any tips for US/international businesses looking for someone to lead operations in the UK?
A specialist firm such as Dahl-Morrow will take the time to understand the culture of the parent organisation as well as its expansion plans. This is vital when bringing foreign employees on board and can mean the difference between success and failure.

Baseball: Arlington Martin tops Carroll in Game 3 to advance to state
By Justin Thomas, email@example.com
FORT WORTH -- Seven times during the playoffs Southlake Carroll's baseball team was one loss away from seeing its season end only to emerge victorious and keep their state-title aspirations alive.
The eighth time, however, was not to be.
Carroll's bid for a trip to state came up short Saturday as the Dragons fell in Game 3 of its regional finals series against Arlington Martin, 5-2, at Lupton Stadium on the campus of TCU.
"[Martin] earned it," said Larry Hughes, Carroll head baseball coach. "They outplayed us in two out of three games. They pitched better than us overall and really just outplayed us. They made a few more plays and had some timely hits."
Larkins allowed six hits and a pair of unearned runs while striking out 13 Dragons to earn the win. Martin never trailed in the game and led by as many as four runs midway through the contest.
With everything on the line, Hughes had a short leash, using four pitchers on the night, including Tyler Alexander. The Dragon ace who was injured earlier in the playoffs returned to strike out six Warriors in 2.1 innings of relief. Sean Thompson, Austin Tyrone and starter Ben Leeper also toed the rubber for Carroll.
"We pitched OK," Hughes said. "You saw I had a quick hook tonight and we didn't really have a choice. And our guys knew that coming in. We couldn't afford to give anything away but then we ended up giving some things away defensively.
"Tyler got released two days ago and we were saving him for the end of the game where he could go as long as he could. We wanted him for the fifth inning on, which is what we got, and he did a great job."
Both teams had defensive issues in the fourth inning as Martin scored three times in the top half of the frame despite recording just one hit. The Warriors took advantage of three Carroll errors to increase its lead to 4-0.
But Martin repaid the favor in the bottom half, firing the ball around the field and helping the Dragons to two runs of their own. Hayden Zier and Quinn Brankin reached on singles to open the inning for Carroll and with nobody out, Martin's catcher attempted to pickoff Zier by throwing behind him at second. However, the throw hit Zier's helmet and caromed into centerfield and a subsequent throwing error allowed Zier to score and pinch runner Daniel Eurich to advance to third. Chris Altimont followed with a sacrifice fly to cut the Martin lead in half at 4-2.
"Those were big errors," Hughes said. "We just didn't make the plays that we've been making. We made them Thursday but not tonight. That's what it came down to. They made the plays in two of three games and we didn't. They pitched better in two out of three games than we did."
Leeper opened the contest on the mound for the Dragons and recorded seven outs before being lifted with one down in the top of the third after the Warriors put runners at second and third following a tailing double to right by Matt Waller. Thompson got Carroll out of the jam unscathed, however, inducing a foul pop to third baseman Kenny Hill before getting cleanup hitter Mitchell Peck to line out to left for the final out the frame.
The Dragons had their chances to score early, getting a pair of runners on base in each of the first three innings but were unable to push across a run. Larkins got a strikeout to end the first, a strikeout with one out and runners on the corners in the second before inducing a grounder to the pitcher, and consecutive strikeouts with two on and one out in the bottom of the third.
"It's tough to leave those runners," Hughes said. "But you have to give their pitcher credit. The umpire had a wide zone and that's why we were taking fastballs off the plate. Then we're down 0-2 in the count and that really set up his slider. But a lot of that was the pitcher. He did a great, great job."
Martin wasn't going to let Hill beat them either, walking the Dragons' slugger intentionally with first base open in each of his first two plate appearances before striking the cleanup hitter out in his final two plate appearances.
The Warriors struck first in the top of the second thanks in part to some key hitting from the bottom of their lineup. Third baseman Collin Day -- who had three of Martin's six hits and scored a pair of runs -- reached with two outs on a single to left before coming around to score on a double to left by Collin Lawrence.
Defense again cost the Dragons in the top of the seventh when Martin tacked on an insurance run courtesy of an error, this one a throwing error on a stolen base attempt at third that allowed the runner to score putting the Warriors in front, 5-2.
Despite the loss, it was a successful campaign for Carroll. What was an inexperienced team gained seasoning throughout district play and despite losing its ace early in the postseason, still rallied to come within one game of advancing to state for the first time since 2008. Hughes admitted himself that he might not have seen the deep run coming.
"I'm a little surprised," he said. "When you lose your ace pitcher, you have to feel like that. But you have to have people step up and we did. [Greg] Maisto had been stepping up and then he really filled that No. 1 role. He handled it. Our guys hit in Midland and we pitched well in the playoffs. Just not as much here in this series."

Cons Best Uses
Comments about Mens CW-X PerformX Fitted Tights: I run about 10 miles a week (two five mile runs). I have had issues with my IT band even after getting proper shoes. I often had soreness in my knee area the day after a run. These pants totally changed that. Even during the run my legs are noticeably less sore, and next day I don't have any soreness. I run in 30 degree weather without additional layer on my legs.

I have a confession to make: I like being busy. Like busy busy.
I came to this realisation over the holidays when I ran out of things to busy my life with. The house was clean, I'd been to the gym, and friends were away. It was just me, myself and I. I had no flipping idea of how to just 'be' because I really just 'do' too much.
The concept of just sitting down and doing nothing felt obscure to me. As much as I wanted to chill out I couldn't. Finally faced with a day of peace and quiet, I found my head filled with thoughts.
If only there were an off switch!
Slightly frustrated I decided that maybe a more active approach to relaxation was in order. Sounds like an oxymoron right? Anywho, I decided to try something I used to do during times of stress which I find quite useful: one minute meditation. It's as simple as closing your eyes and focusing on your breathing. If thoughts appear, just let them float by like clouds passing in the sky and then return your awareness to your breath.
I enjoy listening to this piano music as I breathe, but do what works best for you
I find this one minute is enough to transition me into a calm headspace so I can just 'be'.
What relaxation techniques do you find useful?

Hello! I'm fairly new to beta-ing at the moment, but English has always been my strongest subject and I've beta-ed a couple of stories and really enjoyed it, so now I've opened a thread!
So a little note to start this off: I'm the sort of beta who doesn't only give grammar help. I leave lots of comments to try and make your story the best it can be, and I tend not to sugarcoat things. While I'm not harsh, I'm always honest. If there's an aspect of the story you want me to pay particular attention to, say so.
All that aside, my strongest suits are SPaG, plot and characterization. As far as weaknesses go, while I'm a decent Brit-picker for somebody who's not British, I'm … well … not British, so if you specifically need help Brit-picking I'm probably not your person.
I'll accept any genre except for Poetry - AU is on a case-by-case basis, but I'll generally take it. My strong suit genre-wise is definitely D/A, and I love Post-Hogwarts. I dislike Draco/Hermione and Draco/Ginny, so please don't give those to me, but other than that I will accept any ship and can pretty much throw anything I ship myself out the window if it's necessary for the fic. I don't beta Professors fics, ever, just so that's clear, but as far as warnings go anything is fine as long as it's handled well.
Like the majority of betas on here, Microsoft Word and track changes are my preferred ways to beta, but if you'd prefer something else that's alright as well. My turnaround time is almost always under a week and generally within a few days, but if you have a specific turnaround time in mind then just say so and do whatever I can to get it to you by then.
So. Congratulations for reading through all this - here's a convenient little form you can use it you'd like me to beta for you.
Username: Your name on MNFF (and on the Beta Forums if they're different)
Story: Story title, linked if you already have one published
Genre: Is it a romance? A mystery? Dark/angst? (Etc.)
Ships: This is short for "relationships." If there is a romantic pairing in the story, tell us who you've linked up.
Rating and Warnings:
Word Count: Remember that the minimum word count for chapters on MNFF is 800-1000 words!
One Shot or Chaptered:
Expected Beta Time: How soon you wish to have a reply (1 day, 2 or 3 days, a week, etc)
Permanent Y/N: If you're looking for a permanent beta (Yes or No)
Summary: Short summary of the story.
Colour change or track changes?:
Has this story/chapter been submitted and rejected before?:
Examples of my beta work:
Babies Mine - The owl
Mortal Thoughts - noblefate
Where They Can't Follow - PeppermintToads

The news business is rarely funny. Much of what we do every day is report on devastating acts of nature, the plight of those without voices – the problems of the world. For most of those stories it's best to rely on the Joe Friday approach: just the facts, which almost always speak louder than any adjective [...]

Trulia Reveals 'Crystal Ball' Home Price Predictor
That's good news for homeowners, who are getting more help figuring out the accurate value of their home before they sell it, and for homebuyers who want to peg a good price on a home before they make an offer.
The latest salvo on that front really has a unique twist - it's a new technology from Trulia that calculates the short-term future price of U.S. homes and rentals.
Homeowners hoping to wait out the housing bust of the past few years will find Trulia's newest price forecasting tool quite useful. |
The new technology, called the Trulia Price Monitor and the Trulia Rent Monitor, aims to take a stab at providing what Trulia calls "leading indicators" on home and rental price trends across the U.S.
Information released by Trulia show the Price Monitor is expected to "reveal monthly home prices and rent estate trends, specifically showing price patterns several months ahead of the leading sales price indexes, nationally and locally in the U.S.'s top 100 metros."
"Based on the for-sale homes and rentals listed on Trulia.com, these Monitors take into account changes in the mix of listed homes, reflecting trends in prices and rents for similar homes in similar neighborhoods through March 31, 2012," Trulia says in a statement released Wednesday. The Price Monitor is officially being released today, according to company sources.
Trulia says that current home pricing models reflect events that have already taken place in the economy and in the real estate sector. The difference with the Pricing Monitor, the company says, is that takes into account events that are happening now to provide
a more current indicator of housing market trends. The monitor will be released at the start of every month, Trulia says.

GARLAND — Two vacant town-owned buildings are poised to see new life.
At this week's meeting, the Garland Board of Commissioners approved the use of both the old Southern Bank building and the recently-vacated Head Start facility, with a future permanent use of the latter to be explored even further.
Sheriff's Sgt. Jay Parsons requested use of some office space for those deputies who patrol the town. Garland mayor Winifred Murphy said the police office within the town hall was now being utilized, and recommended to Parsons a portion of the bank building. She brought that recommendation to the board Tuesday night.
"I've taken over the police office that was in this building, because the former sergeant and officers were not using it and said they didn't need it. Sgt. Parsons, however, would like some office space so they can do their reports," said Murphy. "I don't want to give up my office, so if you would please consider another office space."
Murphy said she showed Parsons the old bank building, which Parsons said he could use if the town would approve it. There is a significant amount of space at the location, at 96 S. Ingold Ave., a portion of which could be utilized by the Sheriff's Office.
"They could be able to go there and have a Sheriff's Office in town," said Murphy.
Parsons said having an office space would prove beneficial in completing reports.
"If our guys have reports or any kind of paperwork to do, some of that paperwork gets a little hard to do in the car," said Parsons. "It's a little easier if you can sit down somewhere and do it. It just makes it a lot more convenient and a lot neater if you've got somewhere you can sit down and do your proper paperwork. Commissioner Toler can tell you about that, I'm sure."
The town's last police chief, current commissioner Mike Toler, retired in the summer of 2008 and the police department was dismantled shortly thereafter upon action by the Garland town board, with coverage handed over to the Sheriff's Office, who has been offering coverage to the town for the four years since.
While previous forms of the Garland law enforcement unit have not chosen to utilize the vacated Garland Police Department office, Parsons said, in addition to report-taking, establishing a physical location would assist in interviewing suspects and establishing a known address where people can come and share concerns if need be.
"Sometimes you'll get victims who would rather come see you instead of you going to see them, because they don't like the police at your house," Parsons said. "It's not that they don't want to interact, they might have a report on their neighbor and they might not want everybody knowing their business. That's understandable. It's also a place we could use to talk to any suspect we have and take it from there. It just makes it a little easier to do those things here versus having to go to Clinton and do it."
Commissioner Matthew Register made a motion to let the Sheriff's Office utilize the break room of the old bank building, seconded by Toler and approved unanimously. Murphy said board members would be working with the Sheriff's Office over the coming weeks to ensure the building was readied, to include availability of water, heat, electricity and telephone service.
Toler said the break room area of the old bank building, facing the park, would be the "most feasible" location. Cruisers parked at the corner of South Ingold Avenue and West Front Street could also serve as a deterrent, Toler noted.
"It's a good location," said Parsons. "It's a good high-visibility area. They know you're there. They see you in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot, but it's just not the same."
Parsons said, when he was serving as a detective in the Roseboro and Autryville area, the Sheriff's Office Roseboro unit — the Roseboro Police Department dissolved shortly after Garland's — had a small office in the town hall. "It was just a small office, but I went in there and interviewed numerous suspects," Parsons said. "It kept me from having to drive all the way back to Clinton. Everybody you talk to, you may not arrest that day. Everybody you talk to you may not arrest, period."
Reports could be taken, and supplemental reports filed, all while staying in the area.
"It's not just riding around checking doors and stopping cars," said the sergeant said. "There's lots of paperwork in our job."
Head Start building
Now that grantee Telamon Corporation has officially moved out of the Garland Head Start facility on Church Avenue, town officials are discussing the possibility of preserving some of the history of the building and the prospect of reusing it in the future.
"As you're aware, that building has been turned over to the town of Garland," said Murphy. "It's ours anyway, but Telamon is completely out and brought the last set of keys in yesterday."
The water has been turned on, and the electricity is still on, but payment would eventually be transferred to the town. Murphy provided a list of items left in the building by Telamon and said the town can decide how it wants to reuse the building and those items it wishes to keep.
The items include books, furniture and toys, but there are also photo albums and certifications and pictures on the walls. Murphy said building inspector Myron Cashwell told her the main concern for any temporary use of the facility was handicap accessibility. She requested the electricity be kept on and the facility used for the N.C. STEP (Small Town Economic Prosperity) committee meetings.
"We can use it as as community center if we can get it cleaned up and working," Murphy said. "N.C. STEP definitely would like to use it as a center we can use to have our meetings every month, so we would need to have electricity on in the building."
Smith made a motion to leave the electricity on and hold STEP meetings there, while exploring other options for the facility. The motion was approved unanimously.
Long-term, the town would have to resolve asbestos and lead-based paint issues before any permanent use comes to fruition. Telamon cited those issues, as well as other costly renovations, in its decision not to forgo locating in Garland.
Murphy said she felt the building could still be of some use for the community well into the future.
"I think it's a great building, if we can get the handicap access worked out," said Murphy. "I was thinking this could make a great town hall or make a nice library. The library has such limited space. I just wanted to get your ideas and input of how the building could be used long-term. I'm thinking long-term because there are a lot of grants we could apply for for building reuse."
Murphy recently walked through the building with town clerk Jennifer Gray and commissioner Haywood Johnson to survey the situation. She urged other board members to tour the facility to see for themselves what was left there, mentioning Toler, whose mother worked at the Head Start facility for many years.
"When we walked through, it was just kind of sad because they left behind photo albums — I saw your mom in many of those books," Murphy said. "They took some things, but left a lot of memories there. We certainly want to preserve a lot of those things. It was really emotional for us to see what had been tossed back, the 5-star rating still up on the wall."
"Children's information, their personal information, they just left," added Gray.
Murphy said she would like everyone to walk through the building at some point.
"I'd like everyone to see what was left," the mayor said, "and what is very usable."

Norway is such a dumbass country that rather would spend money on these Automatic Speed Controls that measures your average speed over a distance, than creating barriers that separates the two driving directions.
With the current road standard in Norway that is so poor, we should have used money on fixing that.
Instead this fucking country is spending it on these Automatic Control shit that local people shoot to death with their shotguns. (Yes, we are so pissed at these things.)
It is not while speeding the majority of road accidents in Norway happends.
Number one reason is; poor roads, that is extremely dangerous in the winter even at the lowest speeds. People easily drift over in the other driving direction.
Suicide. There are more suicides in this country than deaths on the road.
550 people commit suicide each year in Norway. And we are just a population of 4,7 Million people. That is probably just the size of a small city in USA.
Now in these statistics, it never tells you how the suicides were committed. But I know for a fact that people many of the suicides each year are people driving solo in their car waiting for a trailer coming straight towards them to hit it in a front against front collision.
A sick country we live indeed. I have a theory, that we all live our lives too good. So when people experiences a period of depression they simply can't handle it. It is a strong theory and proven several times by people I once knew.
Norway should do something.
I hope more people have some opinions on this case.

Northvale, NJ (PRWEB) January 07, 2013
Kimera MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), has become an even more popular martial arts school in the last few months especially with the closing of a rival neighboring school due to financial difficulties. This fact plus the diversity the school offers in the programs they conduct ranging from Aikido, Jeet Kune Do, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Western Boxing, Escrima, Jiu Jitsu and the new weight loss specific programs adds up to why the school is experiencing incredible growth. School owner Robert Alvir is launching a new "Total Body Conditioning" program today and promoting it with the assistance of the marketing team of Route 72 Systems.
This new program was developed with all the combined knowledge Alvir has accumulated over the years plus his own experience in dropping some pounds. Combining explosive movements, jumping, core training, cardio, kickboxing/boxing, calisthenics, and "Insanity" type exercises, the Total Body Conditioning program is sure to gain the school even more fans. "It's a new year and one of the biggest resolutions is losing weight so we are starting this program today and I'm really excited by all the interest," states Alvir. He goes on further to say, "I'm confident we'll have plenty of testimonials in the coming months because of this and the promotion push we'll get with Route 72."

I ordered this on 27th May '11 got it on 30th May '11, neatly packed and no hidden costs, It was my first experience of buying anything from Flipkart and it was a good one indeed, will surely be buying more soon...
I have ordered Sandisk pen drive 3 days back. Today i have received the product. Their service is fast. I am getting regular alerts regrading the product and delivery.
I have checked the price in different websites, Flipkart given the best price.
I received this pendrive within a day of ordering on COD. Kudos to the Flipkart team for the brilliant delivery service, that too at the lowest possible rates.
Now coming to the pendrive review. The pendrive looks "CUTE" in simple words. I'll mention the Pros and Cons below:
*Very handy
*Convenience and no tension of losing the Cap, as it has none
*4 GB space in such a small package. Nice
*Very light, being made fully of plastic
*SanDisk trust
*Brilliant USB reading speed!!
*Conveniently small for being lost easily. I would suggest to put some kind of strap to prevent it from getting lost.
*The plastic body doesn't give assurance of a long life. However, the quality of plastic is really good.
*Lack of a cap or cover means the USB contacts can get dusty easily
*USB Writing speed a bit on the slower side, but nothing you can't live with
All in all, Its just a great pen drive to own. A very VFM proportion at this price. GO FOR IT! Thanks team Flipkart.
I got my pen drive in less then 24 hrs after placing the order. Flipkart has impressed me.

Blundering Birds: Eagles' latest loss filled with blunders
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — In another miserable performance, the Philadelphia Eagles put together a year's worth of blunders fit for a football follies video.
A 34-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night featured four fumbles, one interception and one punt blocked by a teammate. That brought the Eagles' turnovers total to an NFL-high 34 in 14 games. They've only forced 12.
"Turnovers destroy you in this league," coach Andy Reid said Friday, stating the obvious. "If we didn't know it before, we know it now."
Lucky for the Eagles (4-10) and their frustrated fans, only two games remain in this nightmare season.
"I was thoroughly embarrassed," wide receiver Jason Avant said after another loss in front of a national television audience. "I don't care if there were no cameramen there or if we were playing over at the University of Penn. That type of thing that happened was embarrassing wherever you are, even if you're in the sandlot. So, never mind that it was on a national stage, it was just not good football that happened. It just wasn't good."
Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin started the giveaways by fumbling on the second play from scrimmage. On Philadelphia's next possession, there were a series of comical mistakes that occurred when the punting unit took the field.
First, rookie linebacker Ryan Rau, who only plays special teams, didn't realize the Eagles were punting so he stood on the sideline. Tight end Clay Harbor noticed only 10 men out there and ran out at the last second, but one rusher broke free on the outside. Wide receiver Marvin McNutt tried to block him only to get pushed into punter Mat McBriar's kick.
Those two gaffes led to 10 points for the Bengals. But the Eagles rallied to take a 13-10 lead into the third quarter.
Then, they unraveled.
The Eagles allowed 24 points in a span of 3:23. Three straight possessions went interception-fumble-fumble. That was followed up by another fumble when defensive lineman Cedric Thornton tried to catch a short kickoff. Continued...
"Turnovers killed us," Maclin said. "You can't keep putting the defense inside of the 30-yard line. Eventually, an NFL team is going to score on you. This was on the offense and special teams."
The emergence of rookie quarterback Nick Foles has been one of the few bright spots in a dismal season, but he took a step backward against the Bengals. Foles threw for 381 yards, including a game-winning TD pass on the final play to snap Philadelphia's eight-game losing streak. The Buccaneers, by the way, have the league's worst-ranked pass defense.
Foles was just 16 of 33 for 182 yards with one TD pass and a pick against the Bengals. He underthrew Maclin on a deep pass that still went for a long gain in the second quarter. He underthrew him again on what should've been a long TD pass and got intercepted in the third quarter. That started the parade of turnovers.
"I just made a horrible throw," Foles said. "The ball came out bad and it had a little bit of wobble to it. You have to really cut it and I didn't do that. I just have to spin it and it started fluttering toward the end. So it's a bad throw, it's one that I can't have."
Reid defended Foles' arm strength, blaming his footwork and mechanics for the underthrows.
"Nick has one of the stronger arms in the league, but you have to make sure your feet are right and your drop is right," Reid said. "You have to learn those things. That's one of the tougher things for young quarterbacks to do. Instead of taking what would normally be a five-step drop, he took what would be a seven-step drop. When you're in the gun, it would be a five as opposed to a three. He held too long on the safety and tried to look the safety off. These are rookie mistakes, and he'll learn from that. He's very diligent about those things, and he'll get it right. It wasn't a lack of arm strength that would cause that to take place."
Foles will start next Sunday's game against Washington even though Michael Vick has been cleared to return after a concussion forced him to miss the last five games. Reid already said weeks ago that Foles will finish the season as the No. 1 quarterback. As for Vick, Reid hasn't decided whether he'll be the backup or No. 3 behind Trent Edwards.
Notes: RB LeSean McCoy will see an independent neurologist next week, probably on Tuesday. He's missed the last four games with a concussion, but could play vs. the Redskins. ... TE Brent Celek has passed all tests in his concussion recovery and should be ready to go. ... DB Brandon Hughes was hospitalized overnight because of a lung contusion, but was released and should be fine.

text: The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2009 Ready-To-Wear Luca Luca 08 September 2008 Ashley Fodor THE need for mildly structured white attire for spring/summer is what made Raul Melgoza's premiere collection for Luca Luca stand out. Added to that was pale silver - on a long and lightly draped gown for evening -and monochromatic separates, which made for an unexpected twist. While Melgoza's cut out designs - which often fell on the nape of the neck or inward on the shoulder - were distracting, when he kept things clean, as he did with a broad shouldered gold cropped blazer and burnt orange sheen shorts, there could be no wrongdoing.

St Augustine Tourist Attractions
St Augustine is often referred to as the oldest city in the U.S. Prior to its "discovery" by Europeans, Calusa and Timucuan Indians populated the area.
Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
Spanish forces built Castillo de San Marcos overlooking Matazanas Bay between 1672 and 1695 to protect their treasure fleets from pirates and an aggressive international armada. It has 12-foot (3.64m) thick, 33-foot (2.5m) high walls made of coquina, a local shellrock. It is reputedly the oldest masonry fort in the U.S. Three sides of the fort are surrounded by a moat and the fourth contains a drawbridge. There are triangular bastions on each of the four corners and the gun deck once held around 75 canons.Castillo de San Marcos has changed hands a number of times throughout its history, from the Spanish to the English and back again and then finally to the Americans when the territory was sold to them in 1821.The Americans used it during the Seminole wars of the 1830's, mostly as a prison. Court-martialed American soldiers were also imprisoned here until the late 19th century. It was decommissioned in 1900 and made into a national monument in 1924.
Fort Matanzas National Monument
Fort Matanzas National Monument was built in 1740 to guard the inlet and serve as a place for warning of approaching enemies. The Monument tells the story of conflict as European nations fought for control of the shipping lanes off the coast of colonial Florida. The name Matanzas, Spanish for massacre, refers to the slaughterof about 250 Frenchmen by the Spanish in 1565. The watch tower fort, constructed 1740-42, served as protection against any English ships that might sneak up on St. Augustine from the south. The park also preserves about 300 acres of natural salt marsh, maritime forest, scrub, and ocean beach. A half-mile nature trailand picnic area are also located near the visitor center.
Lightner Museum
The Lightner Museum is named for Chicago publisher and editor of "Hobbies" magazine, Otto C. Lightner. His diverse and eclectic collection of costumes, furnishings, mechanical musical instruments and other artifacts, has occupied this building since the late 1940's. Formerly the luxurious Alcanzar hotel, built by Railroad magnate Henry Flagler in 1888, it now contains three floors of exhibits. Among the displays on the second floor is Lightner's large collection of art glass including Tiffany pieces and 18th century porcelain. Lastly, the third floor of the Lightner Museum has Oriental art, American sculpture and more.
Highlights: |
Oldest House
This is reputedly one of the oldest houses in the U.S. It sits on a site that the St Augustine Historical Society says has been occupied by Europeans since the early 1600's. The present structure, Oldest House, also known as the González-Alvarez house, was built sometime around 1702 out of coquina, a soft, local shell-rock. One of the owners was Tomás González, a soldier stationed at the Castillo San Marcos. Another was Geronimo Alvarez, who bought the house in 1790, which stayed in his family for nearly 100 years. It was renovated several times throughout its history and today visitors can see the evolution from its Spanish beginnings through British influences to early American style. There are exhibits on the former residents and examples of different period furnishings.
Fort Mose
Over 250 years ago, slaves risked their lives to escape slavery on English plantations in South Carolina. Africans and Native Americans became allies to create the first underground railroad.The fugitives came to Fort Mose, where the Spanish freed them in return for their conversion to Catholicism. In 1738, the Spanish established a fort they called Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose, now known as Fort Mose. This area soon became a fortified town for African Americans. Fort Mose is considered the first legally sanctioned free black town in the United States.
Ripley's Believe It Or Not
This was the first of three Ripley's Believe it or Not! museum built in Florida. It occupies the 1887 Castle Warden, named for William Warden, a partner of Henry Flagler and John D. Rockefeller. The Ripley Museums are filled with art, oddities, and curiosities from around the world. The St Augustine branch features Beauregard, a Six legged cow and a Ferris wheel made out of Meccano pieces. Robert Ripley was an international traveler with a penchant for the weird. In total he visited 198 countries over 40 years.
St Photios Shrine

In 1768, a boatload of 400 Greeks, 900 Minorcans and a few dozen Corsicans and Italians arrived in St Augustine en route to the ill-fated New Smyrna Colony. The new settlers found refuge in the 1749 Avero House, after living conditions in the colony became unbearable. They set up a place of worship here in 1777 and the present shrine was dedicated in 1971. The museum at St Photios contains historical information about the colony and other Greek Orthodox relics.
Cathedral of St Augustine
The parish community of St. Augustine began in 1565 when Father Francisco Lopez celebrated that first Mass. The cornerstone of the the cathedral was laid in 1793 and then reconstructed in 1887 after a fire bruned everything but walls and the facade. The oil paintings representing the stations of the cross are copies of ones in the Vatican's Pauline Chapel. Other items of note are Victorian stained glass windows and altars of sculpted marble.
Oldest Wooden School House
This school was built of cedar, cypress and driftwood around 1750, making it one of the oldest schools in the country. It became the first co-ed school when it allowed boys and girls in 1788. The museum features old-time educational paraphernalia such as ink wells, slates, old schoolbooks and other artifacts. Juan Genoply and his family lived upstairs and the school's kitchen was built away from the school for fear of fires.
Pena-Peck House Museum
Pena-Peck House Museum was built in the 1740's and served as the headquarters of the Spanish Royal Treasurer, Juan Esteban de Pena. New Englander Dr. Seth Peck purchased the house in 1837 and he turned part of the building into his offices. Today, the Women's Exchange, who led tours through the authentically furnished rooms, runs Pena-Peck House. There are Spanish artifacts as well as furniture shipped by Peck from New England.
