I love Nike Tights. I love their prints, their look, the comfort and the attention they get when I take them out for a workout or nice run. The best thing is the feeling you get by looking good in your fresh new tights.
Below is a look back at the Nike Women's Tight-of-the-Moment tights of 2013 and one of my favorite of 2012, some I own and some I don't own, but wish I had.
December 2013
I do not own this pair, but loving every single detail of it! Check Nike.com they might still have some available.
The direction for the final Tight of the Moment of 2013 was simple: create a pattern with a wintery, holiday feel. The execution, however, was far from easy. Carefully hand-drawn textures comprise the majority of the Nike Tight of the Moment-Arctic Monarch. Illustrated with a palette of whites and greys, the prints layer like snowflakes stacking on a brisk December day. Photographs of gold beads provide a pop of traditional holiday ornamentation.
Another fantastic pair that looks absolutely amazing. Loving the colors! I missed this sale, wish I had purchased a pair. Currently sold out online.
Animal print and wood texture imagery unite in unlikely harmony with polka dots, stripes and diamonds to comprise the Nike Tight of the Moment—Safari Moves. Together, the contrasting prints create an unexpected visual, a signature of the Nike Tight of the Moment series. Near the waist, a picture of snow leopard fur serves as a timely reminder that winter is on the horizon. A wooden motif on the thighs and ankles lends a pop of seasonal color. The placement of stripes, polka dots and diamonds provides a playful interpretation of classic designs.
I remember being in San Francisco when these tights were released. They were actually released the weekend of the Nike Women's Marathon San Francisco. Sadly, I didn't get a pair. I'm just noticing the trainer sneakers, very nice. These tights are currently sold out.
Plants meet performance in the Nike Tight of the Moment Nomadic Night. Meticulously hand-drawn flowers, leaves and vines blossom throughout the tight in an array of green hues. A classic Nike Safari print, first introduced in the Nike Air Safari running shoe in 1987, provides the grey contrast to the green pattern.
These babies I do, proudly own and they are one of my personal favorites.
Nike is obsessed with innovating with knitwear. From Nike Flyknit to Nike Pro Elite Knit, designers have been on a quest to both invent and reinvent knitting processes. For the Zebra Knit Nike Women's Tight of the Moment, the Nike Women's design team looked to the process of knitting for inspiration. Knowing that this tight would arrive almost simultaneously with the crispness of autumn air, the team wanted a pattern that would elicit a cozy feel. It looked no further than knit sweaters, which are staples of the fall season.
I do not own any Nike Sculpt Tights, but if I did more yoga, I probably would get a pair, because of its comfort and fit.
New for Fall 2013 is the Nike Sculpt Tight, a product that redefines performance tights for women. Meant to be worn high on the waist, the Nike Sculpt Tight provides a flattering silhouette with added support for an improved look and feel while working out. The compressive fit, particularly in the waist, hip and thigh, helps lift and shape, visually slimming and elongating legs as the wearer bends, stretches and moves. The high-waistband construction helps provide a natural fit and allows for unrestricted movement.
Correction, there were tights featured in July, these are the Nike Women's Tight of the Moment Tattoo Tech. After being released they were quickly removed from the Nike site and stores, due to complains. Those that were able to purchase a pair before they were banned might consider themselves lucky. I was one of the few to own a pair of these.
The NTM (Nike Tight of the Moment) gets all fancy pants again, this time looking to the tattoos of Fiji, Samoa and New Zealand for the latest head-turning design, the Nike Pro Tattoo Tech tights (and sports bra and bodysuit). (NikeBlog.com)
I own these. I love anything with yellow on it so I had to get these. These are super awesome!
Add a playful mix of color and graphics to your favorite workout in the limited-edition Aztec Alibi Nike Women's Tight of the Moment. The Aztec Alibi pattern combines geometric shapes with bold colors inspired by subway maps and 1980s graphics.
Ahh, LOCO4EVA! I love these too. They are fun, and colorful. I own these and love wearing them.
Ignite your workout this summer in the LOCO4EVA Nike Tight of the Moment. The limited edition LOCO4EVA print combines a black and white tie-dye pattern with multicolored geometric shapes, creating a playful explosion of graphics and colors.
No tights in April
I skipped these, I'm not much of a camouflage fan.
Add a splash of color to your workout with the Nike Women's Wave Pool Tights and Sports Bra. The Wave Pool print celebrates spring with an energetic mash-up of sunrays, waves and camouflage.
I skipped these, but I wished I hadn't. These grew on me after they were released and then they sold out.
Influenced by traditional English floral patterns and contemporary polka dots, the limited-edition Nike Pro Floral Bazaar Printed Women's Tights and Sports Bra invoke thoughts of spring.
My first tights of 2013. I love these, and lots of people do. I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear these tights.
Taking inspirational cues from Iceland's capital city, the Nike Pro Reykjavik Rave Women's Tights and Boyshorts feature a bold digital print of traditional Icelandic fisherman knit patterns infused with pops of blue and red throughout for an unexpected, colorful contrast.
December 2012
I added these to this post, because these were my first Nike Pro Printed Tights and I love them the most. They give a great holiday feeling. These are my personal favorite.
The limited edition Nike Pro Oslo Glow Printed Women's Tights and Boyshorts combine top-notch performance features and a Scandinavian-inspired digital print for a fresh twist on a favorite style. The eye-catching design draws on hand-embroidered elements of traditional Scandinavian knit trims, mashing them up digitally for a fun, beautiful and unique result.
Working out doesn't have to be boring, and you'll feel so much better when you look good. The days of baggy shirts and baggy pants to work out are over, get a great pair of tights and don't be afraid to rock them.
Which ones of these tights do you own?

Admire the most beautiful places of Rubiera and add them to your basket. YAMGU will create your trip considering distances, opening hours and weather.
Purchased by the city of Rubiera, this important collection of puppets and marionettes was created over time by Cesare Maletti (1926-1992) puppeteer and heir, together with his brothers Mark and George, a historical family of puppeteers in Modena. As with other collections of this type incorporates materials belonging to other families and companies. Includes about 350 between puppets and marionettes, puppets and some Neapolitan Palermo, costumes, attrezzerie, a hundred scenes dating from the 19th century to the 1930s. Of particular interest is the Fund consisting of about 120 scripts and sket
Since the early years of the 18th century and throughout the following century seems to be active in this area a, acting and dramatic society in private residences at the Municipal Theater, where even alternated around companies.

Textile Info - some stuff you probably don't know or are confused about!
Posted on 27 March 2016
Do you know the difference between Lycra and spandex? How about digital versus shattered glass? Or are you looking for nylon or supplex? Then there is polyester, viscose or acetate......do you want matte or bright ? cotton or poly/cotton......confused ?.....read on for a short easy-to-read explanation of most of the weird names used in textiles and dance clothing.
Firstly the fabrics used in dancewear (and almost anywhere else for that matter) are either woven or knitted.
A woven fabric is stable – doesn't stretch much at all – and these fabrics are generally only used in skirts and the floaty overlays (skirts) on performance leotards used in ballet/contemporary.
Examples of woven fabrics used in dancewear: chiffon (quite see through), double georgette (semi-see-through) and crepe (opaque or not see-through). These three are all a crepe weave fabric and are used in dance skirts. We use a cotton poplin fabric to manufacture character skirts (the circular black ones with the colourful ribbons)
Knitted fabrics – think of a knitted jumper your grandma might have made – are stretchy and usually fit firmly to the body – think leotards.
Examples of knitted fabrics: Lycra in all its forms, stretchy track suit fabric, t-shirt fabrics.
As almost all dancewear is made from Lycra based knitted fabric, let's explainLycra.
Lycra is a brand name and is owned by Dupont. It is NOT the fabric itself although we often refer to it as such. This is the same as knowing that Hoover is a brand name for a vacuum cleaner. There are many vacuum cleaners and not all of them are Hoovers. Lycra is considered to be the best quality and is distributed by Eclipse Textiles. Ditto Dancewear are retailers of Eclipse fabrics.
Elastane and Spandex are also descriptions for this synthetic fibre made from polymers containing polyurethane....and basically this is plastic and made from petrochemicals.....made from oil!
So Lycra/elastane/spandex is generally about 2-10% of the make up of the end cloth/fabric. It is knitted up with the main fibre to make the fabric stretchy, fit firmly on the body and for it to return to its original shape when removed from the body.
Nylon Lycra can be either matte (dull) or bright (shiny), feels slippery....and nylon is another petrochemical based fibre
Cotton Lycra a 'natural' fibre however HUGE quantities of the earth's pesticides are used to grow the cotton....cotton needs to be labelled 'organic' for it to be environmentally friendly.
Supplex Lycra feels very soft – this is just brushed nylon
Polyester cotton Lycra .......polyester (petrochemical again) knitted with cotton and Lycra.
Now we move on to the fancy Lycras: terms like: holographic, digital or shattered glass refer to fabrics which have been created using a process which bonds sparkly or reflective particles to the surface of nylon Lycra. Brand names for some of these fabrics include: Activator, Digital, Shattered Glass, Fog Finish. These fabrics need to be laundered carefully to maintain their specialised finish. For example, soaking these fabrics may remove the sparkle. Really all Lycra fabrics should be hand washed in mild detergent and dried in the shade. Heating the fabric eventually 'kills' the stretch and the garment goes baggy.
Another interesting fibre is viscose (also known as rayon). This is a man-made fibre made from cellulose from wood pulp. Interestingly though it is man-made it is NOT synthetic as it is made from a natural product. It is very soft to touch and can be compared to cotton or linen. It can be used to make velvet.
Acetate is another fibre made from wood pulp.....it is related to Acetone (nail polish remover) and apparently if you poor acetone on acetate fabric.....it melts it!....weird....
Linen a natural fibre from the flax plant
Hemp a natural fibre from the hemp plant (no you can't smoke it!.....different variety)
If you have any questions about fibre, yarns, fabrics or fabric care just drop us an email.

Workshop To Boost Regional Customs, Trade Statistics
European Union Ambassador to Fiji and the Pacific Andrew Jacobs opened the Regional Customs and Trade Statistics Workshop at the Fiji Revenue and Customs Authority (FRCA) Complex in Suva on Monday. The week long workshop from April 11 to 15 is organised by the European Union supported "Trade Facilitation in Customs Co-operation" programme which is implemented by the Oceania Custom Organisation Secretariat (OCO).
The workshop aims to strengthen the capacity of OCO Member customs administrations in customs data management, customs research and in national trade statistics. Ambassador Jacobs said the EUR35 million (FJ$83m) "Strengthening Pacific Economic Integration Through Trade" programme had been the EU's flagship programme supporting regional economic integration in the Pacific. "Under this programme we have been supporting trade-related initiatives of regional organisations,
such as the Pacific Forum Islands Secretariat (PIFS), the Melanesian Speared Group (MSG), the Office of the Chief Trade Adviser (OCTA), the South Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO) and the Oceania Customs Organisation (OCO), '' Mr Jacobs said. ''The EU has been supporting the OCO for several years and the current "Trade Facilitation in Customs Co-operation" programme has made an important contribution in developing modern customs legislation and streamlining customs processes and systems in the region." The workshop is organised by OCO in partnership with the Fiji Revenue and Customs Authority (FRCA) and will bring together key stakeholders in the fields of customs and trade statistics, including the Pacific Community, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the World Bank, the Pacific Financial Technical Assistance Centre (PFTAC), PIFS, MSG, OCTA and NZ Statistics. Workshop participants include customs data and trade statistics managers from the 24 OCO customs administrations.

One of my users contracted something over the weekend on his laptop, being the good manager he is (though he just stopped by last week to have me remove an infection) he ran Malware Bytes as it was on the machine, it found 9 things (9 that weren't on there last week when I removed something else), and now the DHCP service won't start when the machine boots. It is set to automatically start, and I can manually start, then it works, but it just won't start automatically. While looking for a solution, which I still haven't found, I did come across a couple of postings on the NET from other people just this month that got malware and had the same issue as I do now.

What's showing in the logs? Something has to be stopping the service on startup, and your event log will show it.
May 24, 2010 at 11:43 UTC
It is a process that is part of the SVCHOST file. The SVCHOST is probably still infected.
Run Combofix from http:/
May 24, 2010 at 12:20 UTC
Thanks for the heads up on this. Have not seen any malware do that here as of yet but I am sure I will run across. I concur with Curtis3363 that SVCHOST is probably still infected with something. Great........
May 24, 2010 at 1:02 UTC
I ran combofix, and received a notification that combofix had detected a rootkit and needed to reboot. I rebooted and now I can't boot into anything it hangs loading files.I sat for a good 10 minutes while the first reboot went on and just a black screen. Then I rebooted into Safemode and it hung on loading a sys file. I am now in Recovery console peforming a checkdisk. Any recommendations, I went from a minor nuisance problem to a laptop that works better as a door stop. lol.
May 24, 2010 at 1:20 UTC
the recovery console at a prompt do Fixmbr
May 24, 2010 at 1:46 UTC
That should take care of your problem, fixmbr that is.
May 24, 2010 at 2:20 UTC
Nice try I have run chkdsk /r which ran, then found and fixed some errors, I rebooted, no joy just sits at the black screen on reboot, then tried fixmbr and the same scenario, it's just not working. Am I going to have to do a full re-install?
May 24, 2010 at 2:21 UTC
The safe mode stop at MountMgr.sys it just hangs there.
May 24, 2010 at 2:27 UTC
In the console again do an sfc repair
May 24, 2010 at 2:28 UTC
As well I think I've seen this with bad memory. Pull a stick and boot still bad pull the other stick and boot.
May 24, 2010 at 2:31 UTC
I'll try but it sounds suspicious, no that combofix did it, but perhaps some malware fubarred something up and combofix went to fix it and now the system is fubarred.
May 24, 2010 at 2:38 UTC
Not RAM, the system files are messed up. I tried to run sfc in recovery console not recognized
May 24, 2010 at 2:55 UTC
Having lost patience I performed a repair install of XP, not my first choice, but,,, at least it doesn't hang on MountMgr.sys anymore.I wasn't even gettign the XP logo while it was loading. just the BIOS POST and then a black screen. With Safe Mode I got the drivers loading list until it froze.
May 24, 2010 at 3:12 UTC
After the repair install of XP, It booted up and combofix started again automatically after I booted back up. Something happened to one of the system files, go tme as to what. Well going to let combofix finish.
May 24, 2010 at 3:20 UTC
Combofix creates some strange directories and files so don't delete anything.
When combofix is done it will reboot your system automatically.
When it reboots it will take another 3 to 5 minutes to parse the files and write to a log what it did.
It will then cat the log to the screen.
May 24, 2010 at 3:35 UTC
IT finished, said some stuff had been deleted and the log came up, no reboot on combofixes part. But since i had performed a repair install XP said it was installing drivers and hung there after the combofix run had finished. The comobfix log also said something about Net needing to be repaired. I can get you the exact text if this XP installing devices screen will finish up.

My recomendation is to set up a VM on a system for next time this happens and install a full AV like VIPRE (home editions work fine) and keep it up to date.
to fix you:
1)update the AV on your new VM
2) us a USB Adapter to mount the drive from the infected machine as a secondary HD in the VM (not your host) /at least in VMWare Workstation I can redirect USB connections to go strait to the VM others should have a similar feature)
3) scan the drive in the VM. it is offline so no files are locked and they can all be worked with.
once all is clean put the drive back in the original sys and you are usually good to go.
This is how I do all my AV work for people

Any GOOD antivirus normally doesn't work well in isolation mode.
This means your VM's av is represented by def's.
Avast and Combofix perform Current running detections online and take the system offline long enough to scan IN USE files.
7 online AV's can accomplish the same thing in safe mode (that means no drivers running and no services as well) but still fail.
As I've said before a Lamborghini can go as fast as a Nascar Stock Car but cost much less to accomplish the same feat.
Conclusion don't build a $900 system to accomplish a $100 job.
Yep I know the free VM's blah blah blah, your work, time to build, pull the drive, mount the drive, scan the drive for hours........
i just posted http:/
I hope NEVER to hire ANYONE that will walk down the hall, go to the elevator and down 5 floors to the lobby and walk out the door then around the building and the come back in and then walk up the stairs and then go to the floor they came off of and go to the restroom 8 feet away from heir desk.
This is what you are doing here do you even see it ????????????
May 25, 2010 at 7:29 UTC
Were I to approach something like this I wouldn't use a VM I would probably use a live bootable CD, pop it in boot off the CD and scan the drive HD. I have heard BartPE works well for this. Also have heard that some live linux distros will work well as well. But usually it's just faster to do it in the machine itself. Provided you can get files onto it.
May 25, 2010 at 11:21 UTC
I'm assuming you've already ruled out a system restore? I've also used BartPE to restore a corrupted registry, after a virus cleanout, with excellent results. You do have to have a "clean" restore point available in either case though, which you may not.
May 25, 2010 at 11:31 UTC
Tried restore point and was told both times couldn't restore back to that restore point. I am back up and running now. Combofix ran its course and has been uninstalled and the system seems back to normal now.
May 25, 2010 at 2:35 UTC
Boy was I wrong now IE isn't acting right! I should have gone with my first instinct and punshished him by doing a full wipe and reinstall.
May 25, 2010 at 3:07 UTC
Either reset IE defaults or try and run Windows Updates.
May 25, 2010 at 3:12 UTC
Tried doing both of those, no joy, I ended up uninstalling everything including IE6 then reinstalled IE 6 then 7 and now seems to be working ok. Would have taken me a quarter of the time just to reinstall fresh. Well I guess as long as malware is out there we all still have a job.

Great Photo... love the color, the subject, everything about it. The only thing I might have done differently is to darken the sky under the street lamp on the right. It looks like you changed the exposure or light on most of your sky, but in that area just to the right, it's much brighter. That may be natural, it just looks like it's not. At any rate, really beautiful photo, great use of the water on the street and the rain drop detail in the puddle is most excellent. Thanks for sharing with us. Look forward to your other work.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
6 out of 6 deviants thought this was fair.
Awesome mixture of colors... Great catch on the reflection... Just love the final effect...
simply,,amazing ...
Had to comment on this wonderful photo. Not my area of expertise but it is one of those shots that makes you stop and go WHAT? The building itself is extremely interesting with the build board on the end and the rather artistic graffti. The reflection in the puddle is the thing that makes the shot and it was a great capture. If the sky is as it was on the day, it certainly does not detract from the photo, and I would only alter this if you have darkened other areas. Again congratulations on a very interesting and enjoyable shot and thank you so much for sharing it.
This has to be the best HDR I have ever seen hope you get DD
Oh thanks a lot, this was actually a experience my 2nd HDR ever lol
wow what a great photo man, i really like that building
is that real?
That's a really amazing photo!!! And the reflection with the raindrops is EPIC
I like how it has an ominous feel to it.
The building looks so amazing and unique.
The building looks so amazing and unique.
That's pretty amazing.
Love the raindrops in the reflection.
Nice shot.

Hello, I have an application built in delphi 2006 ( it uses XLCONST.PAS to generate excel files), when i try to open an excel file it will take like 5-6 minutes to open. If i open microsoft excel it opens quickly, Any help please
19 Replies
Mar 7, 2012 at 9:47 UTC
Hi shukri,
Just to be clear you have generate an xls file?
When you open it (as in outside your application), but File Open in Excel?
I'm missing which exact bit is slow.
Mar 7, 2012 at 11:33 UTC
Are you opening it from a network location? If so, does it open faster if you use File->Open in excel? If it does, then the Microsoft office file validation add-in might be causing your issues.
Mar 7, 2012 at 12:00 UTC
What i mean is that : My application is written in Delphin 2006. It uses a component called (XLconst) to be able to generate excel files from the application.
The problem is : While my application is running opening an excel file will become very very slow, whereas if i open excel program and open the excel file it is normal.
Mar 7, 2012 at 12:37 UTC
OK, so have you debugged and worked out which line of code is causing the slowdown?
I don't use D2006, but do earlier and later versions.
Not sure how XLConst works, but if it is using late binding COM / OLE, then actions can take a while because it is constantly getting method ID by names etc rather than making early binding calls.
So can you step through the code?
If the application is running are you telling it to create and open the file and that is slow, or can you be sure it is just the open phase?
Just trying to pinpoint the problem.
Mar 7, 2012 at 2:12 UTC
yes i can step through the code, but the problem is with opening an excel file and not in the application, so even i do trace in my application nothing will appear.
Mar 7, 2012 at 3:02 UTC
OK, so if you get the application to open ANY excel file, not just one it created it takes an age?
OK, you have the xlconst.pas, does it do a whole load of "binding" when the excel object is opened?
I'm trying to help, but I need more to go on, maybe a code snippet, showing the line of code that takes the age.
Is XLConsts.pas part of Delphi, a 3rd party or open source bit of kit?
Mar 7, 2012 at 3:13 UTC
let met explain again. My application is a simple accounting system. it is written in delphin 2006 and uses Mysql as database. This application can generate the accouting reports as excel files. In all this process i am not facing any problem. Now if i am running my accounting system and in parallel i want to open any excel file not related to it, this will take too much time while if i open microsoft excel it is very fast.
Hope now my status is clear
Mar 7, 2012 at 3:32 UTC
OK, so bottom line, your application that can generate Excel files, is sitting there doing nothing and you try and open excel outside the application and it is slow to open excel.
It appears to me that either your application has a hidden instance of Excel running OR that by having your accounting application running, it is using sufficient RAM that when you start Excel, it needs to page some RAM to its paging file.
So when you run your application and get to the point in the test when you would run Excel and it would be slow, can you run taskmgr and see if Excel is running as a hidden process?
Also, what is the RAM commit Charge I think it is called.
Mar 7, 2012 at 3:33 UTC
Sorry, just read your initial again - 5 - 6 minutes, that is never a paging file issue.
OK, that is very strange. Does it do this on all machines or just your development machine?
Mar 7, 2012 at 4:01 UTC
yes it is on all machines and with windows Xp, windows 7, office 2007 and office 2010.
Mar 8, 2012 at 5:55 UTC
So even when you aren't exporting to Excel, not using that functionality and before you launch excel externally, is the excel process in memory?
TaskMgr | processes -> excel.exe?
If it is, I would look at the code to stop the OLE object from being created until it is needed.
I think I would be looking at sysinternals, processexplorer to see the difference between a normal launch of excel and one when your app is running and hopefully you'll see it hanging somewhere.
Process explorer is a bit of a learning curve, but gives up loads of information about processes / registry and file reads etc.
Mar 9, 2012 at 1:24 UTC
The problem is that even when i am not exporting to excel. Exporting to excel is an option in the accounting application, and even exporting to excel from the application is very fast and normal. Opening an excel file while the application is running is the problem
Mar 9, 2012 at 2:43 UTC
Yes, so I am thinking that something in your application or xlconsts.pas is invoking the excel OLE/COM object.
So by using something like ProcessExplorer and (http:/
I have used it before to work out all kinds of problems with applications.
You can save output and load it up later for investigation. I am not sure if it has time stamps, but I think so, so you may find that the running with you app shows it is either "hanging" for a few seconds on a particular call that doesn't happen in the solo or that it is repeating some call over and over again.
In your accounting application, when do you initialise the Excel Object?
Mar 14, 2012 at 10:16 UTC
Bump on this. Have you done any more debugging?
Mar 14, 2012 at 1:59 UTC
Does the same thing happen with a MS Word document saved in the same location?
You've turned off "Automatically detect settings" in Internet Explorer=>Internet Options=>Connections=LAN Settings, right? That causes slow performance opening network locations for several different things in my experience.
Mar 14, 2012 at 2:21 UTC
No i could not reach any solution
Mar 14, 2012 at 2:22 UTC
yes i tried this but it did not work
Mar 14, 2012 at 3:59 UTC
Are you going to look at sysinternals at some point?
Mar 15, 2012 at 2:15 UTC
no i don't think so - I am not so expert in this.

Conquistadors [Audiobook] {Repost}
Category: E-Book
Conquistadors [Audiobook] by Michael Wood
English | April 5, 2013 | ASIN: B00C7V5ASC, ISBN: 1482101629 | MP3@128 kbps | 10 hrs 41 mins | 587 MB
Narrator: John Telfer | Genre: Nonfiction/History
Following in the footsteps of the greatest Spanish adventurers, Michael Wood retraces the path of the conquistadors from Amazonia to Lake Titicaca, and from the deserts of North Mexico to the heights of Machu Picchu. As he travels the same routes as Hernán Cortés, Francisco, and Gonzalo Pizarro, Wood describes the dramatic events that accompanied the epic sixteenth-century Spanish conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires. He also follows parts of Orellanas extraordinary voyage of discovery down the Amazon and of Cabeza de Vacas arduous journey across America to the Pacific. Few stories in history match these conquests for sheer drama, endurance, and distances covered, and Woods gripping narrative brings them fully to life.
Wood reconstructs both sides of the conquest, drawing from sources such as Bernal Diazs eyewitness account, Cortéss own letters, and the Aztec texts recorded not long after the fall of Mexico. Woods evocative story of his own journey makes a compelling connection with the sixteenth-century world as he relates the present-day customs, rituals, and oral traditions of the people he meets. He offers powerful descriptions of the rivers, mountains, and ruins he encounters on his trip, comparing what he has seen and experienced with the historical record.
As well as being one of the pivotal events in history, the Spanish conquest of the Americas was one of the most cruel and devastating. Wood grapples with the moral legacy of the European invasion and with the implications of an episode in history that swept away civilizations, religions, and ways of life. The stories in Conquistadors are not only of conquest, heroism, and greed but of changes in the way we see the world, history and civilization, justice and human rights.

Southern California coach Lane Kiffin denied any knowledge of former assistant Willie Mack Garza paying for a recruit and his mother to visit Knoxville while Kiffin was at Tennessee.
The allegation by former scout Will Lyles arose in a story by Yahoo! Sports. Lyles, who is at the center of NCAA investigations of both Oregon and LSU for scouting services he provided to the schools, said Garza wired him $1,500 in 2009 to reimburse his purchase of plane tickets for recruit Lache Seastrunk and his mother.
Seastrunk eventually signed with Oregon in 2010 before transferring to Baylor last month.
"All I can say on that is that the alleged incident, I had no knowledge of, or knowledge of a relationship at all," Kiffin said after practice Tuesday. "I have always been committed, wherever we've been, to doing things the right way and cooperating with the NCAA so that's all I've got on it."
Garza followed Kiffin to USC, but resigned last month citing "some personal issues unrelated to USC that I need to address."
Kiffin was cited for secondary rules violations unrelated to this case by the NCAA during his one year at Tennessee that also included a show-cause penalty given to former Volunteers men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl
Tennessee confirmed it was aware of the Garza allegation. Garza and the NCAA declined comment to Yahoo! Sports.

Wildlife might not be any happier about this extended winter than we are. It's tougher for some birds and for deer making their way through the woods, but on the other hand, it's been an easier winter for mice and critters that need to hide from predators.
Sharon Meyer caught up with Larry Clarefeld from the North Branch Nature Center to talk about who is a winner and who is a loser with this deep snowpack this year.

The United Kingdom general election in 2030 was held on Tuesday 7th May 2030. This General Election was won by Sajid Javid of the Conservative Party and saw another great surge in the Green party with them gaining about quadruple of their seats from the 2025 general election. Labour have seen the most shocking defeat since their creation.
This general election has been the most shocking since polls began, all through the election period Liz Kendall and her Labour centrism stance has been thought to have won her another landslide election, but it went the polar opposite. The Conservatives gained a massive 482 seats, compared to 234 last election and they have a 156 seat majority. The greens have 122 seats and have quadrupled their seat size.
The election had a record breaking turnout, 90.1% of the electorate voted, due to massive cross party campaigns, notably "SWING THE VOTE".
Liz Kendall comments "It's been a shocking night for Labour, even the exit polls seemed to lie! I guess, this is me resigning!"
Caroline Lucas from the Green Party said "The country has accepted environmentalism which has restored my faith in humanity, we can now work as the opposition party to get more environmental policies out of the Conservatives."
Sajid Javid tells "It's great, because the country has accepted Conservatism, and now I will work on bringing equality and prosperity to Britain once again. You (British Public) managed to topple the monstrous Labour government and saved our country from economic decline."
Labour leadership election, 2030
The Labour leadership election after the dreadful 2030 general election was 3 months from October to December. On December 13th 2030, the new Labour leader was elected and it was Chuka Umunna.
Because of Labour's shocking election result, they are no longer the opposition party and therefore no longer have a place in the Shadow Cabinet.
Green leadership election, 2033
After the victory election in 2030, the Greens were ecstatic in parliament. Sadly, on 3rd May 2033, Caroline Lucas resigned after falling ill. A leadership election was triggered. From July 5th 2033 to August 7th 2033, a leadership election was held. Amelia Womack was elected leader of the Greens.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) Willard Varnell Oliver, a member of the Navajo Code Talkers who confounded the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in their native language, died Wednesday. He was 88.
Lawrence Oliver said his father died at the Northern Arizona Veterans Administration Health Care System Hospital in Prescott, Ariz. He had been declining health for the past two years.
ARCHIVES: Bush honors original Navajo Code Talkers
Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. ordered flags on the Navajo Nation to be flown at half-staff from Oct. 15-19 in honor of Oliver, who is at least the fifth Code Talker to die since May.
Oliver was part of an elite group of Navajo Marines who confused the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in Navajo.
The Code Talkers took part in every assault the Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. Their work was declassified in 1968.
Oliver, who grew up between Shiprock and Farmington, N.M., served in the South Pacific with the 2nd Marine Division from 1943 to 1945. He was wounded during the battle of Saipan of 1944.
Oliver's brother, Lloyd Oliver, was also a member of the elite group.
His funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday in his hometown of Lukachukai.

Natural Gas was the cleanest fossil fuel on Earth. By the mid-21st century, it would be the most common fossil fuel in the world.
(Note: The background section of this page uses most of the same words as the petroleum page of Terra Futura to save time.)
Before there was coal, there was wood. Caveman used wood for their fires. To get wood, they had to cut trees. Wood was also used to build houses, boats, and carts. The invention of the wheel by the Sumerians would not have been possible without wood. Wood was one the most common fuels to light a home, too. A lot of wood was cut to fuel fires. Axes became more sophisticated, too. However, wood could not last forever, so a new fuel source had to be found. That was where coal came in.
In the 1700s, Britain was the biggest miner of coal in Europe and the world. Britain started using the steam engine to power its factories. With very little wood in Britain, coal would work better. Coal was used to power the steam engine. Soon, the steam engine went beyond the factory. As industry spread throughout Europe, the steam engine appeared in ships and in trains. In the 1900s, battleships and power plants started using steam turbines which used coal to heat water into steam to turn a turbine which turned a generator. Even as the steam engine became obsolete, coal continued to be used for electricity. There was one problem. The burning of coal was a contributor to global warming. The solution was clean coal technology. In September 2008, in Germany, the Swedish company Vattenfall built a power plant that ran on clean coal. The purpose of the technology was to eliminate the emissions that were normally created by burning coal. Clean coal would help clean the environment. However, there was another fossil fuel that was causing more trouble than coal: Petroleum.
With the invention of the internal combustion engine in 1860, petroleum started to become an important fuel throughout the West. In the early 1900s, the discovery of vast petroleum reserves throughout Texas finally brought petroleum into the mainstream. It fueled cars, trains, and airplanes. By the mid-1950s, petroleum had become the main source of fuel throughout the world. That did not mean there were hardships. The biggest oil producer was Saudi Arabia, and, in 1973, because of America's support of Israel, Saudi Arabia cut off oil supplies. This stopped eventually, but the cost was clear. By the early 21st century, it became clear that the oil supply was dwindling and carbon emissions from burning oil were contributing to global warming. Another fossil fuel was there to replace it in that instance: Natural Gas.
Tech Level: 9-10
Natural gas was most commonly found in shale. The most well-known deposit was the Barnett shale. It was once thought that getting natural gas out of the Barnett Shale was impossible. Then, in the 1980s, scientists perfected horizontal drilling techniques to get the natural gas of the Barnett Shale. It was then the natural gas really took off. During the early 21st century, natural gas replaced diesel in buses. This reduced the amount of carbon emissions being produced. By the mid-21st century, natural gas was the most common fossil fuel in use. However, it shared its spot with other cleaner fuels. One notable example was biofuels.

From a position of power and advantage, Goliath looked down on a young man he thought was a nobody. But David had God on his side! Discover the Strength of Weakness displayed in the familiar story of David and Goliath on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg! More
- Topics:
The Strength of WeaknessThe Apostle Paul had a problem. A thorn in his flesh inhibited his natural ability to live his life and serve God as he wished. He prayed for the removal of his limitation, but Jesus had something better in mind, and he told Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor. 12:9). The entire Bible reveals that power is found in weakness for those who know Christ. The power of God is clearly seen best against the background of human inadequacy. The truth is that our inadequacy may actually prove to be our ultimate qualification in serving God. The Strength of Weakness takes us on a journey through Scripture to show how, time and again, God exhibited his strength through the weakness of people. In his mercy God chose to use the weakness in his servant Jehoshaphat to make him into a great leader. God also revealed his strength in the weakness of David in order to defeat Goliath the Philistine. From King Uzziah we learn, contrary to the mantra of our age, that self-reliance will actually destroy us. From these characters and others, Alistair uncovers the secret that acknowledging weakness is the first step to real strength.
