I came up with the following: The more of these restrictions you add, the less random the sequence is. A truly random (that is, uniformly random) sequence should come up with 30 identical numbers occasionally. *Very* occasionally, to be sure, but it still should be possible. If what you need is a sequence of numbers which is only slightly random, then that's fine. But I don't fully understand what your aim is here. Anyway, here's my take on generating 30 semi-random integers from 1 to 6 where there are no more than 10 of each number and no more than two in a row of anything. Completely untested: def make_counts(total=30): counts = {} t = total for i in range(1, 7): n = random.randint(0, min(t, 10)) counts[i] = n t -= n assert sum(counts.values) == total # Is this guaranteed? return counts def make_seq(): result = [] counts = make_counts(30) for i in range(30): t = random.choose(counts.keys()) while [t] != result[-2:] if len(counts) == 1 and counts.keys() == result[-2:]: # Stuck! raise ValueError t = random.choose(counts.keys()) result.append(t) counts[t] -= 1 if counts[t] == 0: del counts[t] return result I'm a bit dubious about the assertion in make_counts... I think I need to be a bit more clever about generating the counts to guarantee that there will be exactly 30 in total. At the moment it only guarantees no more than 30. Note also the test inside the while loop in make_seq. Given your additional restriction, it might happen that you have a sequence like [blah blah... 3, 3] and 3 is the only remaining key in count. In that case, the while loop will never terminate. Another alternative is not to try to be clever at all. Instead, use a nice simple rejection method: * generate a list of thirty random numbers * reject it if it has 3 numbers in a row, or more than 10 of any number * if rejected, start again with a new random list -- Steven D'Aprano

Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping
On March 1, 1932 Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., the son of the famous aviator, was kidnapped at 9pm, just 4 months prior to his 2 year-old birthday. He was taken from the second story nursery of the Lindbergh home in Hopewell, New Jersey. Betty Gow, the baby's nurse discovered the child missing at 10 p.m. and it was immediately reported. A search of the home revealed a ransom note for $50,000 that was left on the nursery window sill.
Hopewell local police were notified and turned the case over to the New Jersey State police. While conducting a search of the nursery muddy footprints were found. The footprints were impossible to measure. The ladder the kidnappers used was broken where the two sections came together. It is thought that the ladder broke either entering or exiting the house. There were no blood stains or fingerprints found in the house.
The household employees were questioned and investigated. The Lindbergh's asked their friends to communicate with the kidnappers. Their friends made boundless appeals for negotiations. They even contacted "underworld characters", (mobsters?), in attempts to contact the kidnappers. A good many clues were followed-up, but turned up nothing.
Another ransom note arrived on March 6, 1932. It was postmarked in Brooklyn, New York 2 days prior. The monetary demands were increased to $70,000 in this second letter. A third ransom note was sent to the Lindbergh's attorney. In it the kidnappers said they did not want to deal with intermediaries. Also on March 8, a retired school principal named Dr. John Condon offered $1,000 extra dollars in ransom in addition to an offer to be the intermediary. The fourth ransom note was sent to Condon and it agreed to let Condon be the go-between. This was also accepted by the Lindbergh's.
On or about March 10, 1932, Condon received the ransom money and started negotiations through newspaper columns using the alias Jafsie. Two days later, March 12 at 8:30 p.m. after receiving a an anonymous call, Dr. Condon got another ransom note, delivered by a taxi cab driver who said that it was given to him by a stranger. The ransom note said that another note would be found beneath a stone in a vacant stand 100 feet from a subway station. The sixth note was discovered where they said it would be by Condon. Following the instructions from the newly discovered ransom note Condon went to Woodlawn cemetery where he talked to a man who identified himself as "John" about the payment of the ransom.
For the next few days Condon continued to advertise in the newspaper saying that he was willing to pay the ransom. On March 16, a seventh ransom note was sent along with the babies pajamas to prove identity. Condon continued his advertising in the paper. On March 21 another note was received insisting on "complete compliance" and bragging that the kidnapping had been planned for a year.
Betty Gow, the babies nurse found the babies thumb guard near the estate entrance on March 29th. The ninth ransom note, threatened to increase the ransom $10,000 more. On April 1, 1932 Condon received the 10th note that told him to have the money ready the following night. On April 2, a Condon got another note from a taxi driver who again , stated that an unidentified man gave it to him. This note lead to another note, the eleventh, that was found under under a stone outside a greenhouse in the Bronx, New York.
This last note told Condon to meet "John" again and the demand had been reduced to $50,000. The money was given to the stranger in exchange for the 13th note. Finally, this note said that the child could be found on a boat named "Nellie" near Martha's Vineyard. The search for the baby was unsuccessful and it was repeated the next day, that second search was also unsuccessful.
Dr. Condon was sure he would be able to identify "John" if he ever saw him again. On May 12, 1932 the body of kidnapped baby was accidentally found 4 miles southeast of the Lindbergh's home. The body was only partially buried 45 feet from the highway, near Mount Rose, New Jersey. The body was discovered by William Allen, a truck driver's assistant. The head was crushed and there was a large hole in the skull, as well as some parts of the body missing. The body was positively identified and cremated in Trenton, New Jersey on May 13m, 1932. The corner's report said the the baby died by trauma to the head and it had been dead for about 2 months.
On May 26, the New Jersey State police offered $25,000 for information leading to the capture of those responsible. On October 19, 1933 the FBI took over the investigation. Finally, on On September 15, 1934 a gas station attendant received one of the stolen $10 gold certificates. He wrote down the license plate of the man who gave it to him. The license plate belonged to Bruno Richard Hauptmann from Bronx, New York.
On September 19, Hauptmann was arrested when he exited his home. He was later identified by Dr. Condon and one of the taxi drivers. The FBI also matched up his handwriting to the handwriting in the ransom notes. In later 1934, Hauptmann was indicted and imprisoned. On February 13, 1935 Hauptmann was found guilty of murder in the first degree. The punishment would be death. And our story comes to a close on April 31, 1936 at 8:47 p.m. when Hauptmann was electrocuted.

Goiter is caused by abnormalities in thyroid gland. Thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped gland and it regulates metabolism in the body. If it does not function properly, it may cause thyroid enlargement, in which, the gland enlarges to secrete a high amount of hormone called hyperthyroidism, and in some cases, it produces too little hormone and the condition is called hypothyroidism.
Enlarged goiter can block the passage of trachea and esophagus, and many patients suffering from goiter, it is removed through surgery. But surgery can be prevented if one is aware of the causes of goiter and takes precautions to prevent the disease.
Causes of Goiter
1. Iodine deficiency: Goiter can be caused by iodine deficiency.
2. Immune disorders: Graves' disease is a kind of autoimmune disorder, which causes enlarged goiter.
3. Reduced production of hormone: Hashimoto's disease is a condition, which causes reduced production of thyroid hormones and the gland enlarges to produce more thyroid hormone.
4. Nodular enlargement: Goiter can also be formed by multi-nodular enlargement or single nodule enlargement in the thyroid gland and sometimes, it is caused by thyroid cancer.
5. Pregnancy: Sometimes, the thyroid is enlarged during pregnancy, which is caused by the hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin.
6. Inflammation: In the case of inflammation the gland, enlarges and other symptoms of inflammation are fever and problem in swallowing food.
7. Other: Intake of non-iodized salt, reduced intake of milk products, smoking and parasitic infections.
1. Swelling in neck
2. Depression
3. Difficulty in breathing, swelling, tenderness in neck
4. Loss of concentration, irritability and coughing
Goiter enlargement can be prevented by following some precautions and natural treatments:
1. The patients suffering from goiter should take food rich in iodine. Iodized salt should be taken in diet and food products high in iodine content are garlic, turnip and carrot.
2. Some of the common fruits and vegetables high in iodine content are tomatoes, citrus fruits, lettuce, oats, cucumber, onions, fish, sea food and whole rice. Taking banana everyday helps in curing goiter.
3. Barley is an effective treatment of goiter.
4. Flex seeds boiled in water can be applied on neck.
5. Wartercress is high in iodine and it can be taken by patients suffering from hypothyroidism.
6. Cabbage juice and almonds tea can be taken two to three times in a day.
7. Dandelion is a medicinal plant, which is not only used for digestion but it also effective in treating goiter.
8. Sorrel leaves and olive oil can be mixed together and the paste can be applied on neck.
1. Do not take food or drinks high in chlorine or fluorine.
2. Do not take food high in sugar. Do not take spicy food and beverages such as tea or coffee.
3. Carefully observing the symptoms and regular exercising is very important. The patient should do neck stretching exercises and aerobics.
4. Cool shower in early morning and also before going to bed is also helpful in regulating iodine secretion.
5. Taking small meals five to six times in a day prevents malfunctioning of thyroids gland.

"We lunched upstairs at Botín´s. It is one of the best restaurants in the world. We had roast young suckling pig and drank rioja alta. Brett did not eat much. She never ate much. I ate a very big meal and drank three bottles of rioja alta." The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway
Well, I can't say that I drank three bottles of rioja alta, but I did have a very big meal at Restaurante Botin on Calle De Cuchilleros. To call it one of the best restaurants in the world is also a stretch, but to call it the oldest restaurant in the world… that would just be fact. The restaurant, opened in 1725 in a building dating back to 1590, holds the certificate from the Guinness Book of Records to prove it. How's a foodie on holiday to resist? As you can imagine, the place has become wildly popular with tourists trying to scout out Hemingway's seat; but it's worth mentioning that when I dined there, there were several tables of spaniards enjoying cochinillo asado, the roast suckling pig they are so famous for. And of course, that is what I had as well.
The portion was laughably large, but so much of it was fat and bone, that I only got a small fists-worth of meat. The pig is roasted in the Castilian style with a mixture of onion, garlic and parsley, tomillo (thyme), some bay leaves, dry white wine flavored with fermented fish, and pig's fat. Unfortunately, I didn't find the meat as flavorful as expected, and the potatoes that accompanied it weren't exactly inspiring. I did, however, end the meal with the most incredible flan de queso I have ever tasted!
With light spilling in through ancient window frames, waiters in white jackets flying by, a nearby elderly madrileno enjoying a taste of her childhood, azulejos (ceramic tiles) dating back to the 1700s (and others in the cloisonne-like style of the 1500s) surrounding me, I found the ambiance sort of infectious. The menu is headed with an etching of Madrid in 1561, around the time the first cutler's shanty was put up on this very spot. If you come at lunch, the crowds are sparse enough to sit back and contemplate all of the generations that have passed through these arches. That alone is worth the price of admission.

RINO Peter King Goes on MSNBC to Bash Conservative Republicans as "RINOs" – Video 10/11/13
Rep. Peter King has arrived – he's now an MSNBC hero. He should be so proud.
Peter King's constant attacks on Conservatives has made him a media darling. He's everywhere these days. Here he is on MSNBC actually calling Ted Cruz and Rand Paul "RINOs" – "Republicans in Name Only."
If Peter King thinks he's going to run for President in 2016, he might as well save his time and money. Not a chance.

About The Riviera
We have special events throughout the year, as well as special Riv nights. To request a movie, or live band, or if you have a great idea for us, we want to know! Send us an email with your request here.
The Riviera Theater has had a long history of movies and community involvement in Geneseo. It dates back to the 1900's. As time passed by, small town theaters lost their luster and their importance to their communities around them. In the mid 1990's the Rivera Theater shut its doors and kept them shut for the next 20 years.
In 2013 Palace Properties was able to purchase the old theater with the hopes to bring the Riviera back to life and be a part of the town it once was. With a life time of experience, the owners of Palace Properties decided to restore the theater to a multi- use performing arts center, which as history has shown, was the past of the Riviera Theater.
The new venture figures to have something to offer for everyone. Being able to function as a lecture hall, concert hall, receptions, movies, or even small theater productions, this will insure the Riviera Theater will live again.
With the restoration of the Riviera completed, we hope our goal of providing a destination for memories, a destination of formal grandeur, and a destination for people to use and remember is realized for years to come.

Welcome to Netmoney4u, the place where you can get the honest truth about how to make money online. I started this site because I was so frustrated after years of searching for a real and honest way to actually make a little extra money online. I have been scam so many time. Tried countless get rich quick programs that always end up making the other guy richer and me poorer. I recently started making some money in PTC site. These are basically sites that pay you to click on ads. Typically, these ads would last anywhere from 3 seconds to 60 seconds and they pay from .001 to .05 cents. Doesn't seem like much, does it. That was my original thought. If you are thinking of getting rich quick, this is definitely not for you. I will explain in greater detail in the PTC section. I would like this site to be a place where we can come together and help each other make some money on the net.
Check out the rest of netmoney4u. Hopefully you can find some information that will help you make some money online. The site is still in it's infant state. Any suggestions to improve it will be welcomed. These are my favorite PTC sites that I regularly login to click the ads. I added 6 of the best Crypto/Bitcoin faucets that is 100% reliable. Feel free to click on the banners. It is always free to join.

If using Peap authentication make sure to enforce cert checking so that the client authenticates the network. Bidirectional auth is very important. Otherwise an attacker can pose as a legit AP and intercept hashed AD credentials when they attempt their authentication. If ad creds are based on weak passwords the attacker can crack them with the "asleap" utility.
Google "will hack for sushi" site for details.
Don't bother with MAC filtering. Waste of time as a security measure and huge admin nightmare for more than 10 clients.
You can also use station client certs for extra security.

Two yeare passed by, and Percy MaoVain i
thought that he might now venture to visit
ara Murrey, and see the child through I
whom he had gratified his spirit of revenge. I
As the summer came nearer be grew more im- r
patient to make the proposed visit, which he
had not made when on hiis last summer trip,
for fear that something might lead to his de- s
tection. The cotton season was now nearly c
over and he resolved to olose up his accounts, a
so that his clerks could, as usual, attend to a
such business as required attention in the s
summer season. He had been moody and dull I
of late, many invitations, to social gatherings
had been neglected, the dity had become irk
some to him and he hoped that the excitement t
of a fashionable tour would restore his former
self-poasesion and good spirits. As he walk- i
ed along the street, a determination to throw
off the gloom that op ressed him strengthened
his mind, and he resolved to nidake a social vis
it. He had received manýnydtatione to the
Mardi Gras entertainments this season, all of
which had been allowed to remain unanswered
on his table. The most brilliant of these had
been given by Mrs. Robert McDonald, and, al
though it was now long past Easter, he turned
his steps towards the ine mansion of Mr. Me
Donald, to tender his excuses for past unsocis
bility. He was ushered into the spacious and
elegantly furnished parlor, where the lady of
the house soon joined him. He had known
her in the old country, where she had been a
sohool-mat6 and "companion of Mrs. Macourty.
She was a small lady, mild and pleasant, with
a kind heart that won her friends, and made
her welcome in every circle. Her health was
good, but she looked delicate, and this had
given hbr friends the idea that she was not
well, and extra care must always be shown for
her, lest something should happen. This
caused herself and her husband to spend mnch
of their time in taveling.
"I thoqght you hab taken orders and retired
from the world," Said Mrs. McDonald, as he
finished rehearsing the cnal exouses for not a
calling before. ,
"Not yet, Mrs. McDonald," he replied.
"I knew that if you were in love, it must y
have been with some of our Protestant belles !"
continued the lady.
"And why did you think that " he asked.
"Because I never see you in church," replied 1
Mrs. McDonald. "It must be nearly three f
years since yon were at St. Patrick's."
"Not quite so long,'" he replied, annoyed at c
the mention of church, "Yet I am prond that
my absence has been noticed" II
"Yes. I have heard some of our young la
dies," she said, "wondering where Mr. Percy
MacValn kept himself."
"My thanks are due to the ladies for their
kind interest in my welfare," he replied, "and I
as an evidence of my appreciation of their
good will, I shall be more social in future. 1
"Now that is well said, and as a further 4
proof of your desire to please, you should give I
us a wedding."
"But where shall I find a partner " he in
"Why, there is Miss Lucy Morton, how would 1
she dot'
"A beautiful lady, tall and commanding in 1
appearance," was the ironioal reply.
"Educated as refined, continued the lady.
"Just from the Louisville refinery," said he.

"Although I cannot endorse your opinions,

"He will return with Mr. Cnmming's brother,

"Poor Commings, he was unfortunate, one

plied Mrs. McDonald ; "we have a place there,

SAfter a few more casual remarks, and an a
i exchange of friendly adieuns, MacVain depart- I
ed. As he walked along the street, his I
thoughts turned towards the home of MrsMa
courty. They had always been friendly with t
him, and although his offer of marriage had f
been rejected by the lady, she had treated him I
since as an old friend, while her husbat had t
welcomed him when he visited their house in I
1 the most cordial manner. As he reviewed the I
many happy hours he had passed with them, I
both before and since their marriage, he felt
assured that he alone had treasured enmity a
and unkind feelings. He was a bold spirited
man, quick to anger, and deep in revenge, but
t when that feeling had been satisfied, his bet
ter nature returned, and he had often heaped
benefits on those whom he had before eonsid

h as a leading man by those of his ow le i
n society, and by those in the haumble walks of
life, he was treated with defference and re
e spect, which he received with the ease and
d grace of one entitled to it by right of rank and
education. The burning desire for revenge
- against Mrs. Macourty, which he had carried
y in his heart for years, and which he had satis
n fed by kidnapping her little daughter, had
long been on the wane ; the act which had ful
d filled the wish, had weakened the strength of
the feeling and he had begun to wish that he
ir could do the injured lady some act of
a kindness to make amends for his cruelty. He
was now fully resolved to visit Sarah Mur
1- ray without delay to see the child, and several
or times the thought passed through his mind
or that in the fall he would have her returned to
id her parents. As he formned these plans and
to turned them over in his mind, he came to the
'I corner of Canal and Chartres streets, where a
or lady and gentleman were standing looking it)
the window. As he was passing, the lady look
in ed up, and he recognized Mrs. Macourty. Rais

CHIAPTER IV. t
T Cummings' estate turned out badly. The n
old gentleman had been for many years a h
le g merchant dt New Orleans, and was
esc ful in amausing a very large fortune.
He as kind and generous almost to a fault; a
bein himself strictly honorable and just, he c
was nfiding in nature and judge every one
to above deception and frau. When the d
finan ial crisis of '36 and '37 came on, he was a
in th4 fall tide of prosperity, and his paper
belonked to the " gilt edged olass. To him
his fends applied for assistance when in
trouble, and he aided them without stint or
limit. To some he loaned money, and for many
others he became endorser. Then there came
a time when those who met their financial en
gagements were the erocption to the general
rle. fastas the notes which he bad en
dorsed were presented, Mr. Cummings paid I
them, sacrificing, to raise the money, his .took
in trade, real estate and everything available.

neath t e sun of June, and so it happened
that, a r the estate was settled, nothing was
left to is son Philip,. but the worthless book
ascoan a d protested notes of his father's
once eensive business.
Philie had lived with the family of his uncle
in Brooklyn for three years, during which
time he attended school, and in the leisure
hours performed such services about the house 4
qs wero required. It very often happens that
dhildren do not apppreciate the kindness of
relatives with whomtthey areplaced, when on
fortunately bereft of parents, and so it was
with Philip. The little services that he was
capable of performing became irksome to him,
and he began to think he was looked upon as
a servant in his uncle's family. As this feeling
grew within his heart, he resolved to strike
out boldly for himself, and be informed his
uncle of this determination. Mr. William
Cummings was a clerk in a leading Now York
day goode house1 with a .moderate salary, on
which it required much management and
economy to support respectably his wife and
four children. He was a kind-hearted man,
and had done all in his power to make Philip
at home and console him for his loss. He was
much surprised at the boy's determination to
leave a comfortable honiq and reasoned with
him on the folly of his couree. These remon
strances so far prevailed with Philip that he
consented tlSrd with the family, upon con
dition that jiOncle should accept half of his
wages in t for it. For the first few
months Philip worked in a clothing store near
the Catherine Ferry, and afterwards went to
the dry goods honese of Barege, Muslin & Co.,
on Grand street. This was large establish
ment, employing forty or fifty hands and doing
San extensive retail trade. Mr. Muslin was an
old friend of Uncle William, and took Philip
o as a package and confidential errand boy, pay
ing him two and a half dollars per week, the
b. ,1Ii,. hi,.l cn.. ......i oe the aforesaid
friendship and to make a distinction between t
Philip and the other young lade in the stoke. f
One morning in early JOne, about a year after r
Philip had commenced work, he was brushing a
np the embroidery department, preparatory to a
the business of the day. Mr. Peter Droll was I
head of this part of the store, and Mr. Samuel
Sellwell, was his first assistant. Mr. Drollwas
a short, thick-set man, with black hair and a
heavy 'beard. He was about forty years of age, t
and had been in the businese nearly thirty t
years, most of the time in the lace, embroldery c
and trimming stock. He was a quiet, genteel
man, a great favorite with the ladies to whom
be was "so polite and respectful." his assist
ant was a tall. slender man, with long, ncurling
hair, a light moustache, blue eyes and a good
looking lace. He was a man of iash and gal
lantry. knew how to be attentive and polite,
but had presumption and impudence enough
to push himself forward. lie was a ready
talker, and made whatever assertions suited
his purpose, with a bold and decided manner
that prevented contradiction, if they did not
carry conviction with them.
"Hiered Phil.," said Mr. Droll, "run over
the gay and tell Iill to send me a paper of to
hacco, Anderson's Solace-and tell hinm if it is
not fresh I'll chew it up and never pay him."
"There's one of the ten dollar valencieg col
Slres gone out of this box," said Mr. Sellwell,
opening the box and counting them over.
" I sold it yesterday," said Mr. Droll.
S*'Then why didn't you mark it off?"
"You mark off your own sales, my boy, and
Syou'll do well."
"That's all very fine; Mr. Simmons," said
a Sellwell, " but if the old luan saw that, there'd
be a row."
" He be d-d. I've forgotten in a week
more about the business than he ever knew."
" Who'd you sell it to, Pete r' inquired Sell

DEPARTURE OP U PAGAb O'LE$AR."- -
Among the passengers by theCunard Royal
mail steamer Algeria, which left Queens
town on Sunday for New York, was Mr. j
Patrick O'Leary, who had been but a few
days released from nWoling Prison, where I
he had comntleted the term of seven years,
to which he was sentenced for useocing
soldiers from theft allegiance. This simple
announcement is the seq0el to a remark
able a career as eveg ame under owr obser
ration-M Mavdfq ruiewl iMbg e c
that in the winter'of 1lB4 thir was ar
rested at Athlone, a man who gave his
name as John Murphy, and who was
charged with inducing soldiers to become
Fenians. He was tried in 1865, and sen
tenced to seven years' imprisonment. At
the time of his sentence the prisoner re
quested the judge to sentence him to death
rather than to slavery. The judge replied
that atione time the law would have per- 1
mitted him to comply with the prisoner's .
request, but it had been since changed.
Although this, in itself, was a remarkable I
incident, the prisoner and his request were
forgotten until the State trials of a few
months later brought him into notoriety.
The informers then made frequent allusion
to one "Pagan O'Leary," and it was die
covered that the bearer of this strange title
And John Murphy arrested in Athlone were
one and the same person. The prisoner
bore still another name-and it is under
that, his real name-that we have in
troduced lhim as a voyager across the At
lantic. He was born in Macroom, and
having served his apprenticelhip at cabi
net-making, emigrated to America. For
thirty years he was a traveler in many
lands--in all of North America, in every
country in South America, in Australia,
New Zealand and Van Diemen's Land. In
the war between the United States and
. Mexico, he served in the division of Gen.
Shields, and received two wounds, one from
a bullet and the other from a sabre, but
a both in the head. One hle sustained at the
storming of San Jose. He was one of the
committee that accompanied the remains
of Terence Bellow McManus to this coun
try in 1862, and it is understood that he re
mained in Ireland until the time of his ar
r rest. Having served the fall period of his
sentence, his departure for America was a,
altogether of his own choice. Notwith- t
standing the rigors of prison life, he ap- pi
peared in very vigorous health, and his of
spirit was anything but broken. He spent "b
three weeks altogether in this country and fr
took shipping from Queenstown. For his a
outfit, which was suited to the season-al- ti
I,though from his life-long wandering he is g
well calculated to bear the most opposite p
climates with equal ease-and for his cabin

familiarly styled "The Pagan," passesses i

Zanzibar is just one of the outstanding island holiday rentals from the Indian Ocean over eastern coastline of Tanzania, a tropical paradise unique in a way. The mention of Zanzibar has a tendency to have you walking around to dazzling white sand beaches, aqua blue seas, bright sun together with palm trees.
Unguja is the biggest island of the Zanzibar archipelago and features a extended as well as struggling heritage. Stone Town, capital of Zanzibar Island dates out of the 19th century and is at the moment a listed World Heritage site. During the centuries Arabs, Indian and also European rulers have each influenced the style of buildings. You can easily explore the twisting alleys of this town by an evening work continuing to the previous slave trade markets located at Kelele Square.
The former Omani palace was incredibly repaired keeping its historical magnificence. Exhibited at the lobby are pieces of famous pieces with thick brilliant oil paintings. A few other major vistas in Stone Town comprise of Tippu Tip's House, Anglican Cathedral and the Old Fort.
Zanzibar is often a prominent destination for Indian Ocean honeymoons like Seychelles and Mauritius. The difference equipped with Zanzibar comes in with the fine sand beaches, exceptional range of luxury holiday Zanzibar Hotels.
You can actually dive in to the turquoise waters or even take a beach walk and then take in the sun along the beach. It's the ideal getaway to the quiet islands of Chapwani or even Pongwe Bay for you to visit the coral reefs of Kizimkazi, go off snorkeling around the National Geographic Dive site and even swim along with the dolphins, turtles or visiting sharks. In addition there are routine ferry boat services for Dar es Salaam or to idyllic Pemba Island, a section of the islands.
Zanzibar honeymoon vacation packages are usually tailor made and so are special for each Zanzibar tourist. These kinds of vacation packages have been offered by the most popular Zanzibar hotels and will include flight tickets from London, full board lodging, Tanzania tour discounts and then holiday activities.
Examples of luxury Zanzibar hotels provide packages between £1400 and £2000 conditional on the duration of holiday. Get accommodation from the precious Pongwe Beach Hotel, Palace Zanzibar Hotel or even at Fairmont Zanzibar Hotelsay for seven nights. No matter the hotel you check in for your Holiday, you'll love spice excursions on the island, soft drinks, special sunset dinners on the beach, sundowner dhow sailing, spa & massage treatments and a lot more.
Shopping is an ideal option to finish your Zanzibar holidays and collect some souvenirs from various shops around the island. Those that traveled with a digital camera, the pictures of the vacation are the very first gift items you take back home. A number of other items to buy include Khanga, traditional spices or herbs, art paintings besides other handcrafts.
With the Honeymoon advice, remember to bring many lightweight wear, swimsuit, sunscreen lotion, a wide-brimmed hat and then warm jacket for the cold evenings. In any other case this island will be pleasant and so are the local people before too long you will be here one more time.

Skip to comments.Beantown is a nerd Nirvana!
Posted on 09/23/2012 4:53:44 PM PDT by JAWs
Youre a new nerd in town. You want to roll some dice, cast some spells, kill some orcs. Or you want to leverage your fandom for good, not evil, in the so-called real world, whatever that is.
Let it be known, verily and forsooth, that Our Fair City and its environs is a kingdom replete with every variety of nerdery known to man, woman, halfling, and beast. Boston is the undisputed center of the nerdverse a mothership for dweebs, techies, trekkers, weirdos, and gamers.
Our mainstream is geeky, said Kevin Harrington, who runs an annual comedy festival called Geek Week. Because most audiences in Boston understand obscure pop culture references like natural 20 (a Dungeons & Dragons reference) or these arent the droids youre looking for (from Star Wars), he can inject geek into his shows.
The number of area colleges and universities, the many centers for research and technology, and their annual influx of new blood doesnt hurt.
Boston geeks are todays Boston Brahmins, said Tim Loew, executive director of MassDiGI, a center that supports video game development in the Commonwealth. We are a brains and innovation city and geeks rule the brains and innovation world.
(Excerpt) Read more at boston.com ...
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Go Boston....a geek place could be Fun!
It's a great place to go if you like to see Revolutionary War stuff (when the sign sez, "through these doors the Revolutionaries left the meeting to go to the Boston Tea Party", it means, these are the very doors), or if you like to be jostled. It's a great jostling town.

Aug. 7: Bimal Gurung today named John Barla and five others from the Dooars and Terai as "invitee members" to the GTA and said the Sabha would pass a resolution to include them.
"The invitee members are from the Dooars, Terai and the hills. We will pass a resolution in the Sabha immediately to this effect," the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha chief, who is now the GTA chief executive, said.
The GTA Act has no provision for "invitee" members, nor are the Terai and Dooars a part of the GTA area yet, but both Gurung and Barla want the region to be included.
Changing the GTA Act would require an amendment to be moved in the Bengal Assembly and passed by a simple majority.
The other Dooars and Terai leaders who were named along with Barla, the leader of the breakaway group of the Akhil Bharatiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad, as "invitees" were Saraswati Pradhan and Ashok Lama, Morcha faces from the Dooars, and Pravin Singh, Dina Chhetri and P. Arjun who are party leaders from Terai.
The hill "invitees" named by Gurung were Tshering Tamang, Latika Sinha and Bandana Yonzone from Kalimpong and Sabitri Chhetri from Kurseong.
Gurung's move could upset the Trinamul Congress and Mamata Banerjee.
The chief minister recently chose three nominees to the GTA Sabha — it has the provision for five such members — in what was seen as her bid to stop the Morcha from giving Barla and other Dooars and Terai leaders those posts.
A Trinamul leader in Siliguri had earlier said that Mamata's move to announce the three nominees was a hint to Gurung that he must not seek to legitimise the Gorkhaland movement in areas that are not part of the GTA.
The Justice Shyamal Sen committee has recommended that five mouzas in the Dooars and Terai be brought under the GTA, but they have not been included yet.
In Siliguri, state and district Trinamul leaders today said the idea of a resolution to bring "invitees" was not feasible.
"As we had mentioned earlier, both the party and the state government are against the inclusion of any member from outside the GTA territory," a senior Trinamul leader in Siliguri said.
"Regarding the proposed resolution, let me clarify that it is not possible to increase the number of members in such a manner (by passing a resolution) as the GTA Sabha is governed by the GTA Act, where the number of members has been specified. If the number has to be increased, the act has to be amended in the Assembly with appropriate consent from administrative quarters," the Trinamul leader said.
"For example, there are fixed posts or portfolios in the Siliguri Municipal Corporation. The civic board cannot change the composition simply through a resolution as the board is governed by municipal laws," the leader said.
Gautam Deb, the north Bengal development minister, when asked about the matter, refused comment.
In Calcutta today, Trinamul minister Subrata Mukherjee, when told about Gurung's announcement, said: "A dialogue with Gurung is necessary to settle the matter."
In Darjeeling, Gurung also announced that the deputy chief executive of the GTA would be Lt. Colonel (retd) Ramesh Allay, who is the chief of the Gorkhaland Personnel.
The Morcha president also named seven executive members from among the 45 elected GTA Sabha members. "We have decided to name the seven GTA executive Sabha members. The remaining seven executive members will be announced soon," he said.
According to the GTA Act, the chief executive will have to nominate 14 executive members from among the 50 — 45 elected and five nominated. The deputy chief executive must be from among the 14 executive members.
The six executive members apart from Allay are Roshan Giri, the party's general secretary, Binay Tamang, the assistant secretary, Anit Thapa and Prava Chhetri from Kurseong, Ram Bhujel from Kalimpong and Phoebe Rai from Mirik.
The executive members are likely to be in charge of various departments.
Fifty-nine subjects have been included in the GTA.
Gurung clarified: "We will give departments even to members who are not nominated as executive members."
He also named Darjeeling MLA Trilok Dewan and the chairman of Kalimpong municipality L.B. Pariyar as "advisors" to the GTA.
There is no provision for advisors in the GTA Act but the three MLAs from the hills and four chairpersons of the hill municipalities are ex-offico members to the GTA Sabha.
Gurung today held a meeting with the administrative officials of the GTA at the Gorkha Rangamanch Bhavan, where he signed the first file to clear a Rs 1.03-crore project to set up 10-bed hospital at Takling, about 40km from Darjeeling.
During the meeting, he asked the officials to ensure that GTA is a "corruption-free body".
"We must not repeat the past mistakes. The DGHC was a failure as only one man used to take all decisions. If any of you face any problem you can directly call me up with your grievances," he told the officials.
After the announcements, Gurung went to Lal Khoti — the administrative headquarters of the now defunct Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council, where a puja was done.
He directed the officials to ensure that his office should not be in the same room as that of his bete noire Subash Ghisingh, the former chairman of the DGHC.
That office will be occupied by Saumitra Mohan, principal secretary of the GTA, while the office of the previous DGHC principal secretary will be the office of Gurung.
Giri said: "The chief executive will start attending office from tomorrow."
Mohan will leave for Calcutta to attend an administrative meeting to be held at the Writers' on August 10. The meeting is being held to discuss the transfer of departments to the GTA.
Rohini road landslide
The Rohini Road, which connects Siliguri with Kurseong, suffered a landslide at zero point last night.
Saumitra Mohan said: "Our engineers are already at the site and repair work will start soon."
The road which has not yet been officially opened for vehicles after repair work was extensively used when a landslide had damaged the Pankabari road recently.

- Genre: Folk
- Release Date: 11/5/2008
Joe Chaplain's second solo album 'Icarus' was released on October 14, 2008. Acoustic and electric guitars, Mellotron and excellent vocals are way easy on the ears. One of the tracks, 'The Rocking Chair,' won an honorable mention in the John Lennon Songwriting contest. And the lead track 'Around Every Corner' was selected as a finalist in the 16th annual Billboard Songwriting Contest! He's working on his third album with his NEW BAND! Debut performances in March, 2009. Joe's folk medicine is for people of all ages and colors; big, fine guitar playing, sweet intimate vocals, and positive life-affirming songs. Makes you want to dance, love and live life to the fullest! He's been warming audiences in Northern California for over 20 years. Born in Detroit Michigan, USA, Joe sang in the church choir for eight years and took piano lessons. In high school he picked up the blues harmonica, guitar and flute, and later learned bass and percussion. Joe moved to San Francisco in 1972 and played in many bands there, beginning with the popular prog-rock band 'Window.' One of his most memorable gigs was with the Jerry Garcia Band in Golden Gate Park, to a crowd of 20,000 where Jerry told him 'Enjoy this, man. It doesn't get better than this.' Joe also toured with the seminal San Francisco industrial trio Factrix, playing throughout the United States to sold out clubs, including CBGB and Max's Kansas City. After moving to Los Angeles for a couple of years, Joe started getting more studio work, and commissions for television and film scores, including the scifi feature Radio World. After moving back North to the Valley of the Moon, Joe's first love, songwriting, became his main focus. This resulted in his first solo album 'Jump Your Heart' released in January 2005. Unplugged and understated, this rich production holds up well to repeated listening.

Because there is no such thing as taking too many breaks!
A detail of the facade of L'Institute du Monde Arabe in Paris, France. Designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, this wall is comprised of 240 motor-controlled apertures which open and close every hour. This modern technology mimics brise soleil (sun-shading) techniques often found in Islamic architecture. I like how on the morning of my visit, the clouds in the sky were reflecting on the glass.
Last night I started reading The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby. After suffering a massive stroke to the brain stem that left him in a condition called locked-in syndrome, the author communicated and wrote this book solely by blinking his left eye. I plan to watch the movie adaptation after I finish the book.
Today is International Bikini Day. Who knew? On this date in 1946, Louis Reard introduced the skimpy two-piece swim suit at a Paris fashion show. Bikinis are named after a Pacific atoll where nuclear bombs were first tested. The reasoning behind this name: that the burst of excitement created by it would be like a nuclear device. Like I said, who knew?
Stay tuned…for the next adventure of Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy!

We have two major political parties in the United States. There is the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. Somewhere along the way we seem to have given birth to a bunch of political hacks that are bound and determine to call themselves part of the Democratic Party. There is no such party, but that is what the Democrats chose to call themselves even though there is living proof that they are anything but democratic . . . just ask Bernie.
To show you where I am going, simply type in the words, "Democrat Party" and see a long, almost never-ending parade of reference to a Democratic Party. Those mis-informed fools can't even get the name of their party correctly!
This annoying mis-use of the word DEMOCRATIC is the exact opposite of what the Democrat Party stands for. As I just stated, just ask the supporters of Bernie Sanders who were supporting a candidate that didn't have a prayer of a chance to become the Democrat party nominee for the president of the United States. Democratic is a term that implies fair and honest. We didn't see much of that during the last presidential election did we? To refresh your memory, reflect on the antics of Donna Brazile, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Sid Blumenthal, Robby Mooks, Maggie Williams, Cheryl Mills, Clinton, Huma Abedin, Mandy Grunwald, and John Podesta. Real stand-up folks!
If that doesn't suit you, then just look back through the history of the Democrat Party, paying special attention to the way those early party members treated citizens of the United States who were not "lilly white, Anglo-Saxton, Northern European, white folks". . . does SLAVERY ring a bell?
Or how about after the country just fought a major war (the Civil War in case you didn't do well in your high school history class) during the party's formative years in which the Democrat Party encouraged the formation of the Ku Klux Klan – what became to enforcement arm to the Democrat Party to insure the continuation of racial bigotry in America, the implementation of the Jim Crow Laws, siccing dogs on peaceful black protestors, blocking entrance to white schools in the South to prevent integration, and the concerted effort to block equal rights and equal voting for Blacks.
If you don't want to go that far back, then concentrate on the treatment of African Americans and other minorities who were called upon to defend the country in time of war. I know that is a stretch for those who have come through the American education system since the Democrat Party took control through the federal Department of Education. Their whole goal has been to apparently dumb-down our youth by re-inventing the history of America.
If one is an American citizen and is not familiar with the segregated military during World War I and World War II, and the difficulty the country faced in integrating all branches of the military before and during the Korean Conflict, then your ignorance may be excused somewhat. It isn't really your fault the Democrats have screwed up your brain, BUT, after you have gone out on your own since leaving high school, and seeing the utter disregard, in spite of millions of promises and billions of tax dollars to provide equal opportunity to the American Dream for Blacks and other minorities, there really shouldn't be any excuse to be ignorant of how the Democrats really view those of color. Why are they never held accountable for their failures?
Okay, Okay. Maybe I am a bit too tough on those who are members of the Democrat Party, but there isn't a single person alive who has any sense of history (real history), that can claim the Democrat Party of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Harry Truman, has even a strand of DNA that ties them to today's Liberal-Progressive, Stalinesque, Marxist Democrat Party.
The strength and determination of both Truman and Kennedy to keep America the beacon of freedom for the world with a strong military and the willingness to use that power to intimidate those who would oppose peace and freedom. Kennedy's support of equal rights for all races, sensible non-punitive taxation rates, fiscal responsibility for government, and a tough stance against Mafia control of labor unions (Jimmy Hoffa et al) and organized crime (remember Bobby Kennedy's role as Attorney General), are far closer to the conservative side of the aisle than today's left-wing radical Democrat Party.
Contrary to the rhetoric of the political brochures passed out during the elections the last few decades, realistically the Dems could have saved a lot of money by printing perhaps several billion fliers (you get a better rate the more you print). They have been promising the public the identical platform since the election of Bill Clinton (plus a few new radical new ideas like "gender identification" protection, mainly from the racist, bigoted mentality of the intolerant left; confiscation of self-protection guaranteed under the Second Amendment; dilution of the First Amendment covering freedom of speech – only the Left gets that guarantee; and freedom of religion – only if you are a Muslim). For the same BS they could have used the same brochures.
The history of the Democrat Party is replete with a history of being anything but a friend of Blacks and other minorities. The fact is that it has always been the Democrat Party which has stood in the way of providing equal treatment to ALL Americans regardless of race, religion, and national origin. The only thing that counts to the Democrats is getting the people to vote for them using lies, innuendo, and promises of government handouts at the taxpayer expense, but the well-being of those being bribed with largess, never changes and life never gets better. The eight years of Barack Obama is a living tribute to failed liberal progressive policies. All you have to do is look at the numbers.
I may be a bit out of step with other people who believe conservative, constitutional government, is what has made America great, but my opinion of the entire Democrat Party is that they are nothing but control freaks wanting to tell freedom loving Americans how to live, while they inevitably enrich themselves at the expense of the taxpayer. They want separate "justice" for their heroes who have broken the law (Hillary is a shining example), while the rest of us must play by the rules, and they want to rule without any constitutional constraints, even if they have to cheat, lie, and steal to insure winning at the ballot box.
It is the old, "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" syndrome. When will they ever wake up, or has our educational system so polluted their minds, the effort for truth to win through is forever a dead issue? The rise this past election of an old Marxist-socialist fool like Bernie Sanders in the ranks of the Democrat Party, supported by the foolish children who are more than likely the offspring of those same dumb old Democrats, is living proof that stupid does as stupid is.

What: Perpetual Groove, which is quickly developing into one of the top jam bands in the country, headlines a benefit show for The Jolly Foundation. A truly modern jam band incorporating modern R&B, funk and metal into the traditional rock/jazz jam formula, Perpetual Groove has exponentially expanded its fan base over the past two years with its energetic, technically superior live shows. This week the band shows off its considerable chops for a good cause - The Jolly Foundation, a Savannah-based organization dedicated to preserving the environment and arts, and supporting brain injury and other health concerns.
When: 8 p.m. Saturday
Where: Trustees Theater, 216 E. Broughton St.
Buzz: This fund-raiser represents the work and confluence of tirelessly dedicated members of the Savannah community. For starters, Perpetual Groove was born in Savannah, having honed its skills through early jams at college dormitories and nightclubs. The Groove is always eager to help the community. The fund-raiser's opening act, Optimus Prime, featuring students from Savannah Country Day School and Jenkins High, will warm up the crowd, help The Jolly Foundation, and of course, rock out. Most importantly, however, The Jolly Foundation exists through the enduring spirit of Mary Ellen McKee, a Savannah Country Day graduate and Stanford student who suffered a serious injury earlier this year. As Mary Ellen recovers, her family, friends and she have supported The Jolly Foundation, which holds true to a mission Mary Ellen began in high school when she volunteered her time and effort to protecting the coastal lowland and its endangered loggerhead turtles.
Admission: $20 in advance ($25 on day of show), $15 for students

text: Got a great idea for all those Steelie fly fishing fanatics out there - From day one have been honest, the numbers are the truth. So here is the challenge: Starting next summer - everyone who really wants to catch more fish try this. Find an area with some fish in it - whether it's just a couple or more. Hopefully where you can actually see/make out the fish - look for signs (jumping/tailing flash etc.) Start off with a "Steelhead pattern" lets say a green butted skunk - try to put it near the fish and watch what happens. Next - try a size 6 or smaller sparse but natural pattern that immitates either insects in the water or a food source from the ocean and watch what happens. Heck - use a size 6 or 8 hairs ear nymph! Apply all techiques - nymphing/natural drift/swing etc. You don't have to take my word for it when you find out on your own - I already know what really works and will always catch fish - just want to build some confidence and faith. Oh - try to fish right smack dab in the middle of the afternoon - when you can see the fish the best. Keep notes. Just a couple notes/rules. 1. Ego's do not apply. 2. Nobody is better than anybody else. 3. Be Honest. 4. Have Fun! Make this about having fun - share. Be willing to bet some others will catch just as much and more than yours truly. Can't wait to here some 10 plus fish days - I believe anybody can do it! Oh - try the same thing in the winter - you might just be suprised. Happy Fishing :thumb

Incredibly this video of a man who has turned blue seems to be for real. From the smirking presenters to the straight faced insistence of the benefits of an alternative health treatment from a man turned a funny colour by the treatment, this possesses all the indications that it's a moment of staged comedy. His skin looks like it's been covered in blue tinted face paints.
Digging a little deeper it appears that the condition is genuine and called Argyria – as Wikipedia states:
Argyria or argyrosis (from Ancient Greek: ἄργυρος argyros silver) is a condition caused by inappropriate exposure to chemical compounds of the element silver, or to silver dust.
Colloidal silver is taken quite frequently as an alternative medicine in the belief that it is anti-bacterial but it has not been proven to have any effect in vivo at all in double blind trials. To have suffered the effects of Argyria this gentleman must have consumed huge quantities.

Hands-On Review:Bedell OH-12-G Performance Series Parlor Guitar
Petite perfection
By Russ Kent, Contributing Editor, Harmony Central
Parlor guitars aren't normally my thing. I'm a big guy with big hands who likes the big sound of a full dreadnought or jumbo acoustic. But sometimes an instrument is so beautifully appointed, so well made, and so sweet sounding, that you begin questioning all the guitar characteristics you thought you preferred. With Bedell's stunning OH-12-G Parlor Acoustic Guitar, modifying my preferences was a matter of pure seduction, in the best sense of the word.
The Bedell OH-12-G, like all Bedell guitars, is made of solid wood (no laminates)—in this case, solid African sapele. And what a gorgeous finish it is. Highly grained, with a deep interlocking ribbon-stripe pattern, the wood appears roughly textured. Yet the light glossy finish makes the guitar silky-smooth to the touch. The guitar's top transitions subtly to the sides and back (also African sapele) past solid maple bindings. The maple grain shows through and complements the sapele gorgeously from the side edges to the handcrafted heel cap where neck and body come together.
The neck is made of solid mahogany. The ebony fretboard is attached to the neck by a traditional dovetail joint. The 19 frets are laid in by hand. Nut width is 1.7"; scale length is 24.7" and the body length of this petite looker comes in at just 19.75". The Bedell guitar measures 10.25" wide at the upper bout and 14.25" wide at the lower bout with an 8.85" waist—a true beauty structurally and cosmetically.
Gold Grover tuners adorn the OH-12-G along with the stylized Bedell peace sign on the softly curving headstock. The tuners provide ample resistance—easy enough to turn smoothly, but not easily enough to feel loose or compromise pitch while playing. A hand-laid "checkerboard" rosette enhances the organic, all-wood visual style of the bindings and surfaces, and the six-step precision natural finish ties everything together. It's a guitar that provides a lot of pleasure before you pick a note.
In your hands
More important than its beauty, this Bedell parlor guitar is a sonic beast. It can sound like a much larger acoustic, especially when it's played hard. The OH-12-G responds with rich and varied tones during aggressive strumming or soloing. I slammed this axe on everything from classic rock strummers like The Beatles and Richie Havens to heavy pickers like Yes' "Roundabout" and fingerstyle pickin' fests like "Jerry's Breakdown." The OH-12-G is a supremely responsive guitar that takes anything you throw at it.
It also sounds impressively full for a parlor-style instrument, but without the low frequencies that could create a bass trap in a small studio or excessive feedback with a mic onstage. In fact, the Bedell OH-12-G turned out to be a great guitar for recording—not too boomy and not too bright, with ample overtones on solo harmony passages yet still enough bite to cut through on leads. I cut several test tracks in my home studio, playing passages from the artists and tunes named above, and after more than 25 years of recording acoustics, I can say that this surprising little guitar is one of the best-sounding instruments I've heard in a studio.
With the right mic, this guitar can fill up any room with clarity and any recording track with top-shelf tone that will fit in a mix without excessive tweaking. Fitted and broken in with light to medium-gauge strings (it ships with D'Addarios), the OH-12-G sounds right on multiple styles and has terrific intonation (the finely tooled bone bridge saddle terminates each string at a different length before it descends into the bridge and is covered by an inlay-style pin).
I can't say enough about the full OH-12-G package. Fans of vintage style with modern twists will love the guitar's case: a textured brown beauty with distressed latches and gold stitching—a great complement to the guitar's shading and varied hues. Inside, a strap secures the guitar to the case just below the headstock and the plush velvet lining enhances the high-end feel of the entire package. The Tom Bedell signature on the sound hole sticker is also a nice touch.
The company includes a booklet of tips for guitar maintenance—adjusting, cleaning, and stringing—that mostly amount to common sense: keep the guitar and strings clean, use very little water or polish, and don't put your strap in the case. This mixture of elegance and simplicity is a big part of the OH-12-G's and Bedell's charm.
Parlor powerhouse
You'll want to baby this Bedell, not because its delicate beauty makes it look fragile, but because it's a finely crafted instrument that will return many years of pleasure. Although it takes advantage of modern manufacturing techniques, you're not likely to find a more finely crafted guitar in its class that's better suited for gigs, whether you're playing for petit-four parties in a parlor or killing the crowds in the coliseum.

It was about 5 months ago when we began exploring the idea of providing our student athlete program to specific teams. Due to a few connections through the gym we partnered up with the Banat Soccer program and began working with their 99's team. Josh and the Kids Program has worked with a few kids teams in the past and did a great job with it, but this was the first time for the Student Athlete Program and Will took the job running.
Every Wednesday night these kids come and work on agility, body awareness, core strength and even the beginnings of barbell lifting. These guys literally can run for days so Will put them through grueling workouts, which after watching their game this past weekend its paid off.
This past Saturday was one of the final games determining the seating for State Championships in March. Our team already had a spot but today's game had first place on the line… While I may personally not like to have a lead going into competitions, I can definitely understand the pride of being in first place in the state.
Early in the first half the other team scored a goal and in general dominated the field. Things were not looking good and did I mention we were short two of our starting players due to an injury and some technicalities during a previous game… tensions were tight to say the least. As the players came back on the field in the second half something clicked and with one player short they were able to score three goals and shut the other team down for the entire half!
It was a very exciting game watching these youngsters demonstrate their athleticism and determination to overcome what was starting to feel like an unbeatable team. It was more then obvious that during the final minutes of the second half when legs and minds were tired, they had what it took to bring home the win! Congratulations young men and we will see you Wednesday for more training and a lesson on the importance of sportsmanship.
