Garber Sits Down With AOL's Fanhouse

- Don Garber, Interview
I hyped up one Brian Straus article the other day and today I'm going to pimp another one. Straus was able to sit down with Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber for a long, in-depth interview earlier this week. If you haven't taken a glance at the entire thing you should do so, its well worth the read.
I wanted to point out a few interesting quotes from the article and give you my thoughts on the answers Garber gave. I thought Straus did an excellent job at posing some tough questions to Garber and it was interesting to see him go into some PR speak and try to avoid certain questions.
Regarding Playoff Format:
[quote] Our goal would be to have a long-term format in 2012. The objective in 2011 was to make a decision that we believe will at least emphasize the regular season more so than any of the other options that we looked it.
By rewarding the top finishers — the Supporters Shield winner and the top finisher in the other conference — with a game against a wild card team that had fewer points. Rather than keep those teams in the conference, having those teams regardless of conference play against the Supporters Shield winner and top finisher in the next conference. At the end of the day, we believe this format will prioritize the regular season.[/quote]
My two cents: Playoffs are here to stay no matter which way we look at it. I'm good with that too. With Garber as Commissioner we'll never see the Conference structure go out of the picture. It just won't happen. Still, the way the playoffs are formatted with the two-legged semifinals series after having only single elimination games before and after them, make the playoffs still seem like a step away from where they should be.
Tighter Schedules, SuperLiga, CCL:
[quote]We have a slightly longer season. We may or may not have SuperLiga going forward. That's a decision we'll make shortly. There was very little schedule congestion caused by the additional games. We believed it was time for us to extend our season. We have a very short season. We have some players who believe they need to play elsewhere to stay in shape, to come back in form for the MLS regular season. We continue to look at conforming with the international calendar. The way to start on that is, we've got to have a longer season. The best way to have a longer season is to have more games.[/quote]
My two cents: First of all the writing is clearly on the wall about SuperLiga. It just won't happen this year. Too many questions and scheduling issues surround it. With expansion meant expanding the schedule a bit, we knew this would happen eventually and quite honestly with the roster expansions too, teams can and will be able to handle it.
On Beckham:
[quote]I believe the David Beckham signing will be viewed as one of the historic milestones in MLS history. He elevated the exposure and credibility of this league in ways that we would not have been able to do at that time without a signing of that magnitude. Financially it was a deal that made sense for us. Our television ratings grew when David was playing for the Galaxy. The anticipation and excitement around the league, the media attention, all escalated. It's hard for anybody to argue that it wasn't a good signing and an important thing for the development of the league. That's not commissioner's speak. That's fact.
Does it disappointment me that he trains with Tottenham (after the Galaxy opened preseason camp)? Yes it does. Was I supportive of his desire to play for Milan on loan so he could prepare for the World Cup? I wasn't pleased with it. But we did it to support a guy who was important to the league and someone who had made an important commitment to us. In retrospect, would we make the same decision? I don't know. But certainly, on balance, this was a very successful signing and something that I think will go down in our history as a real important part of driving the league's success. It's inarguable.
Most players are keeping in shape and are on vacation during the offseason, whether it's in Major League Soccer or any other league. That's the way our contracts are structured. He wants to train and stay in shape. That's not a bad thing. It's only something that I believe becomes a challenge for us when that training impacts his role for the team that has him under contract, the L.A. Galaxy. AEG allowed him to train, the owner of the team allowed it, and said, "You've got to get back when it's time to get down to business."[/quote]
My two cents: Long comment for sure but a very interesting one indeed. I've always felt the league was a bit upset with the way Beckham has played them over the last couple years with his loan stints in Europe. I'm with him in the thought that the signing was still a very important one in the league's history. The doors his signing opened up for the league are still being measured and will continue to be so for years to come.
Beckham owning a club and Expansion in general:
[quote]I would assume that when he's done playing he will act on his option, and we look forward to working with him on that.
We have been very focused on our 20th team being in New York. We're not close to being done with that. But it still remains our goal, and therefore the other markets that we remain in discussion with will come in as team 21 or beyond.[/quote]
My two cents: With Beckham not able to own a club in NY or LA, the options are limited for him and his group. I know where some fans would like him to go, I got a hunch it won't be there though. The league is still holding strong to getting the Cosmos or some New York club in as the 20th team.
[quote]The clubs are recognizing that they need to be locally connected, relevant sports teams playing the world's game. Part of that is how they brand and position themselves. The move to international branding is not something that I think diminishes their value as American sports teams. I'm totally okay with that. In fact, I'd rather have names like FC Dallas than the "Burn". I'm not sure what a "Dallas Burn" is. When we think of brands, does it resonate as a soccer brand? If it could be the name of a lacrosse team or a college sports team and it doesn't really resonate? Than I struggle as to how effective that brand can be.[/quote]
My two cents: I posted this over at BigDSoccer.com earlier this morning. I find it great to hear that he thinks having a "FC" over a "Burn" makes more sense for the league. I know some folks hate the whole FC/SC thing in soccer but it is apart of the culture of the game. Hearing that some rebranding that has gone on in the league doesn't diminish the value of the club is also positive to hear. It is pretty amazing to think that out of the original ten clubs only two have the same logos left (Columbus and New England).

text: Following on from my previous comments re the numerous serious symptoms that I have, I am pleased to update that I received my first B12 injection today! Met with the Hematologist and he said that this was serious and immediate action was needed. I have been instructed to report back every second day for a series of six injections and thereafter six injections to follow at one per week. He will then evaluate after that. I also gave blood for anti body testing before the B12 was given. I have also got three different tablets to take. Vitamins etc. I was also given a fairly lengthy and repeated apology for the years wasted! I want my old life back, I doubt that will be possible but I will remain optimistic for the next few months!

WHERE IS OUR HUMANITY? Submitted by Shannon Ward
Occasionally I have the honor of introducing a fellow blogger and posting her thoughts on my website. This is one such occasion. The following was not intended to be an essay, as such. It was simply the heartfelt views of a young lady expressing her inner thoughts before a sometimes cruel world. I read those thoughts, asked her permission to publish them, and now put her words before you.
As we look at the events of this day we ask ourselves some important questions. Where am I in humanity? Do I see the carnage that is in the Ukraine? Do I turn away without reflection as to the lives lost? Do I recognize that those shapes of human beings, lying in the wreckage as being human beings?
They, a short time previous, were alive, laughing, listening to music, talking, writing, and viewing the clouds around them. They were traveling to places for holiday, work, or going home. Men, women and children from many countries and different walks of life. They had friends and families who now mourn and grieve for the loss of their loved ones.
The human loss is not only those who are lying motionless in a wheat field in the Ukraine. The humanity that is lost is also reflected in those who, through their own soulless decisions and actions, brought a plane down, effectively murdering all on board who were innocent. They are those who are now denying that they executed 295 souls on board flight MH17.
Elsewhere, Israel is standing alone to defend themselves from an enemy who wants them erased from the earth. Israel, is using her military and ordinance to defend her people like a protective mother who protects her precious young. Meanwhile their enemies use their citizens to protect the locations of arms. Mosques, schools, and homes are used to store and launch death at a people who have been targeted numerous times throughout history.
Hamas uses the people of Gaza and elsewhere as human shields. After bombing Israel they run and hide behind the skirts of the citizens and then use their deaths as a propaganda tool. Showing the bodies of women and children as their proof of the evil of Israel. They manufacture false evidence because they are the ones that created the carnage toward their own people.
Now for another question of humanity: Where is the humanity of our "leader"? Obama, yet again the "great campaigner," stated "it looks like a terrible tragedy." How can someone who is supposed to lead our country state "it looks like a terrible tragedy."? It is a tragedy! People from many countries are dead. Many may be Americans.(Best count, at the moment, is twenty three).
People who were mothers, fathers, sons and daughter, sisters and brothers now lie in a field, dead. Their futures forever gone, but their memories will live on in the hearts of those who loved them.
Obama's statement does not instill confidence in those who, through our humanity, are deeply affected by the events of this day. Yet Obama is out there, on still another campaign trail to raise money.
With his soulless response, he further demonstrates his detachment from any activity that could demonstrate that he is a true leader of the free world. With his response he proves he is feckless as a "leader," He shows he is disengaged in any activity that may take some hard decisions when it comes to protection of our citizens or appropriate reaction to a true act of evil.
He once tried to compare himself to Ronald Reagan, a man who demonstrated time and again his strength of character; a man who was thoughtful, respectful and dignified; a man who exuded an air of confidence to allay fears during times of crises. He took the reins of leadership seriously. To lead one must be leading and in front; not behind and hiding.
He was a man who demonstrated, in his service to our heritage, a deep respect for the citizens of our country, and the history that formed this great nation. Reagan was a man who was also a true friend to our allies. After the downing of the Korean Jet our President shared in our grief. In Reagan's address to the American people and the others around the world, he showed his heartfelt humanity in his words.
He portrayed a leader who not only sympathized with those who lost loved ones, but empathized and shared their grief in the loss of human life. He also stated that those responsible for the horrific attack on the Korean Jet should be held responsible.
From Obama we get none of the emotion that would be appropriate at this time. Instead, we get his emotionless response that is read from a piece of electronic equipment. The dispassionate words were cold, flat, detached, toneless, delivered in a stone faced manner that reflects his indifference to events of this day.
There are so many examples of his incompetence as the leader of the free world. He stumbles along, blaming others as he trips through his 2nd term. Bobbing and weaving from one crises and scandal to the next one, like a drunk stumbling from one bar to the next, in the drunk's misguided attempt to hide his inebriation. When will the media actually do their job and show the world that this emperor, has no clothes?

Should we expect anything more from a guy that voted "present" most of his life?ReplyDelete
Thank you Shannon very well said.ReplyDelete
One week ago I told anyone who was talking about the illegal immigrant problem to keep their eyes wide open because something was going to happen to take our eyes off that situation and on to another. I read an article on Wednesday that had my blood boiling.
This http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/07/feds-to-open-50-million-resort-hotel-for-illegal-children-complete-with-tennis-courts-sauna-pools/
Now because of outside pressure they have stopped the deal. HMMM do any of us really believe that. I did some checking on this Baptist group they recently received $190 million in federal grants to build more places throughout the US. Beside the $50 million they received for this project. They received $63 million (from the taxpayers) in 2013 and paid $33 million in salaries to very few people. Something is very, very wrong with this group who say they are for families and children. More investigation needs to be done.
And lo and behold the news of yesterday has taken everyones minds away from the border and onto something else. Do I think the two new events of yesterday have been coordinated by SOA (Soros Obama agenda, I think that's what Danny calls it) I doubt it, but how convenient for them. I am sure they having a big sigh of relief for the moment that the pressure is off for now.
Pure evil surrounds us.
Thank you for sharing Danny.ReplyDelete
Here is an update with the glaring details of this "faith based group"ReplyDelete
Glenda, I recall during the Obama/McCain debates when the topic of 'faith based groups'(FBG) was broached by Rick Warren of Saddleback Church. Since then Warren has begun an outreach to Islam and provides Qur'ans in the pews while promoting moral equivalence. You stated above "Pure evil surrounds us." That it does, and much of that evil is being promoted in the name of religion, or their affiliated FBG, and when I point this out many act as though I am crucifying Jesus again. I am not, but the leaders of his followers are.Delete
I have NO sacred cows and in all fields pursue the truth, whatever it may be, and that sets me apart from the 'Faithful'. Today so very many are frightened that they are losing their liberties and are even more frightened by the prospects of asking why. Long ago I recognized the collective danger of organized religion and government; so too did the Founders and so they created a dichotomy known as the separation of church and state.That separation has disappeared and now we are coming to a state dominated by what Ayn Rand referred to as Witch Doctors and Thugs. Such a state is totally implemented in Iran; we are only on the way.
I put a great deal of effort into my internet library and one of the topics was 'The Religious Left', well documented and factual. I have referred many to it and thus far my stats reveal that eight people have visited the site, a wasted effort on my part. Another wasted effort was my recent series of News Roundups. Total waste of time! The first day July 14...74 readers. Not too bad for day one. Day two jumped up to 108, day three, dropped to 49, four to 43, and five to 35. I have often written that people really do not want the truth. Nothing better validates my point than this.
I suggest to any who wish to learn on their own that they visit my internet topic News Sources. Great turnout...six views. I see so much rubbish from the hoax and sensationalist sites being reposted in groups and must wonder if the person who reposted actually read the tripe or simply functions as a mindless automation in his effort to wake up America.
Glenn Beck often told Americans to do their own research. I do mine. News Roundup takes approximately five hours to prepare, and were the effort not falling onto the willfully blind I would continue. I shall not, as they do not want to know. To some I may seem like an arrogant SOB but I know the effort that I put into trying to save this nation and meant it when I wrote that if all Americans put forth three percent of the effort that I do we would come out of this as victors. They do not, and at least until this nation totally crumbles around us, we shall not.
Help me out here ...Are you mad at me for posting something that you already know about or are you mad no one was going to read what I posted. No matter what the numbers are Danny I will still read what you put out there, I still pass your thoughts along to everyone I know because I think what you say is that important!ReplyDelete
Just a side note....Has Beck "jumped the shark" what is he doing?Replies
Glenda, I do not allow myself the luxury of feeling anger, and even if I did I could not be angry with you. Joanna over in Poland recently described me as her 'reality anchor'. You are one of mine. You are one of the few who can grasp the enormity of the situation we face. While avoiding anger I nonetheless am fully capable of being disappointed, and I am terribly disappointed in the bulk of our fellow Americans. They shun the truth and embrace escapism and denial, choosing to negotiate or complain about evil rather to confront it. Actually News Roundup did exactly what I thought it would and that was to prove an abject lack of interest on the part of our fellow 'patriots'.Delete
As for Glenn Beck, another disappointment. He, more than anyone alive, was responsible for bringing the truth before this nation and in that regard he was a great teacher. Today I cannot help but feel that he has broken under years of strain, I fault him not for the break but wish that he would resign and get some rest.
I cannot help but feel that the day of that break was Election Day, 2012. Glenn had stood before millions of Americans and promised that forty days of fasting and prayer would win God over to our side and Obama would be deposed.The fact that God did not intervene was the breaking point for the man whom I have long admired and I cannot help but believe that he blamed himself for the failing, and has donned the mantle of a modern day Job, whose only mission in life was to prove his devotion in spite of all.
Glenn's religious beliefs and reality now create a stark contrast and I must conclude that his religious devotion has given birth to a severe handicap for those of us still in the fight. His teddy bears and soccer balls agenda are now giving the progressives and liberals reason to stay that even Glenn Beck agrees with them. Well, they have their views and I have mine, and I recall the old adage about the road to hell being paved with good intentions. Mister Beck, with his good intentions has paved another mile on that road.
Another adage that I am fond of is "Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way." Glenn Back is no longer capable of leading, will not follow, and I wish that he would choose the last option, as he has now, through his own good intentions, become a tool for those who would destroy us.
Shannon . . . thank you for this essay. I agree completely with all you had to say, and you could not have summed up more accurately or appropriately. You have portrayed our fragile humanity and that which plagues it . . . the sheer evil of power and corruption. This is a battle that can only be won in the hearts of man. Those who commit such atrocities are totally void of soul and heart, which leaves them void of reasoning concepts.ReplyDelete
Your description aptly shows your heart of compassion, concern and fairness … qualities which America has in the past always possessed. America was built on Judeo-Christian principles regardless of what others try to proclaim now … principles that taught us compassion, concern and fairness. Danny claimed in one of his essays that we had lost our morals and he is correct. Without moral grounding we are doomed for it is from our moral grounding that we develop the character that defines our humanity. Without principles man makes his own rules and they are always selfish, abusive and oppressive.
I believe you are right … Obama is soulless therefore he cannot sympathize but I don't think he is incompetent. I think he is going right along with his agenda. He is just EVIL PERSONIFIED, so he really doesn't care. Any display of concern is fake.
As far as the media goes, don't expect anything from them. The days are gone when the media knew the meaning of words like HONOR and TRUTH. Many are as corrupt as the dear Potus and will do anything to protect their career. They don't like America either.
I believe in a higher power, one that is perhaps a bit disappointed right now in what we have become but your essay gives me a glimpse of the soul of my fellowman that encourages me. Thank you again for sharing. Let us hope that from the ashes the "EAGLE" will rise.
I will add one thing here. If you want to get rid of evil then you have to start with those who PREACH it from their safeguarded PULPITS. ___ GO TO THE SOURCE

Pei Tianyuan pointed to a location not far away from him as he hinted with his eyes to Cheron and Pei Yu. However, there were only two seats available at that location, yet their group totaled four people. Even disregarding Pei Yu's female servant, Cheron, Pei Yu and Qin Wentian still required three seats.
Cheron glanced at him before shaking his head, "I think it's still better for us to find some other seats."
"Mhm, over there." Pei Yu pointed to a location at the center, to which Pei Tianyuan immediately rejected, "How can this do? I still wanted to have a nice chat with n.o.ble nephew Cheron. Since the number of seats are limited, Pei Xiao, give your seat up then."
Pei Xiao originally was sitting next to the two seats Pei Tianyuan wanted Cheron and Pei Yu to take. He could tell that Cheron refused to take that seat was because he had one more friend in his group, hence Pei Tianyuan told Pei Xiao to give his seat up.
Pei Xiao's eyebrows twitched, glancing over to Pei Yu and Qin Wentian as unhappiness flashed within his eyes. But since the king had already commanded, how could he reject it? He could only nod his head, and stood up awkwardly. At this moment, someone opposite called out, "Pei Xiao, just sit here with me then."
Pei Xiao glanced at the one who spoke as a smile flickered in his eyes. "In that case, I will have to accept and thank Brother Jiang Yan."
"Haha it's fine as well, n.o.ble nephew Cheron, come and be seated then." Pei Tianyuan laughed. Cheron naturally wouldn't continue rejecting, and hence the three of them walked towards the seating area.
Right across from them were Jiang Yan and Pei Xiao, there was also Nion from the Seven Sword Sect. Other than these people, many geniuses of the other major powers in the Cloud Prefecture were present as well, all of them exuding an extraordinary aura.
"Come let me introduce a few old fellows to you guys. I am Pei Tianyuan and I'm sure everyone present knows who I am. On my left is Ji Kong, a disciple of the Cloud Tower Sage Sect, the tower lord of the Cloud Towers in Jiangling Country. Lastly, the person on my right is the city lord of Driftsnow City, Sikong Yangxue." Pei Tianyuan introduced and smiled to everyone. "I'm sure that all you heroes of the younger generation already know of each other, hence I won't be wasting time to introduce each of you."
Qin Wentian glanced at Sikong Yangxue. The current city lord of the Driftsnow City was evidently a far cry away when compared to the Driftsnow Master of the ancient era.
"This Driftsnow City is a city from ancient times. There's also many ancient legends about the Driftsnow Inn and the most famous one is that this place was the place where the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade fell in love. If time could be reversed and we could see the Driftsnow Master playing his zither while Immortal Jade danced among the snow, how beautiful would that be?" Pei Tianyuan seemed to be an extremely good conversationalist. As the king of the Jiangling Country, he too had heard of this rumor.
"I've also heard of the love story between the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade, but I doubt the veracity of this. Firstly, where is the weaponized city now? Also, we pursue the martial path because we wish to be supreme, reaching for the very peak. It's the same for the dao of weaponsmithing. Living, by itself, is the capital of everything. And Immortal Jade wanting to give her life up to forge a weapon? How light was her desire to reach the peak? Also, how foolish was that? And given how magnificent the Driftsnow Master was, how could he give up himself for the sake of a mere woman, sacrificing his life essence and soul to guard her corpse?
A person opened his mouth and commented. Pei Tianyuan turned his gaze onto the one who spoke. This person had fair skin and was quite handsome. He exuded a sense of casual elegance and his brows were angled like swords. His eyes seemed intelligent and politically astute, one could tell that from the depth of his eyes that he had many secrets hidden within his mind.
This person was none other than Shu Luyao, a disciple of the Myriad Sage Academy of Cla.s.sical Learning from the Cloud Prefecture.
"As expected of a sacred ground, the Myriad Sage Academy knows everything regarding the Cloud Prefecture. The legend of the love story between the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade has already faded into obscurity, even in the Jiangling Country, not many people have heard of this. I only knew because of ancient records kept in my manor, to think that n.o.ble nephew Shu would also know of this story. I'm impressed." Pei Tianyuan smiled and nodded to Shu Luyao, he didn't express his views on Shu Luyao's opinion.
"The more I know, the more cause I have to suspect that this is false. This legend must be fabricated to cheat those ignorant fools. In the story, the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade were idiots." Shu Luyao's tone grew sharper, showing no respect to this ancient legend at all.
Naturally, a legend was still a legend. n.o.body casted any doubts despite Shu Luyao's arrogant words. Even Pei Tianyuan was merely smiling.
Only Pei Yu had her brows furrowed. She unhappily commented, "In this vast world, the personalities of everyone is different. You are a heartless person but how can you use your viewpoint to gauge others and deem their acts as foolish? I've always heard that the Myriad Sage Academy of Cla.s.sical Learning has produced many learned experts whose names would shake the Cloud Prefecture, knowing everything there is to know underneath the heavens. People from such a prestigious academy naturally should have more grace and can contain a mult.i.tude of things in their chest, epitome of the adage all rivers eventually formed a sea. But sadly, without even making sure of facts, you instantly termed the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade as foolish people. Don't you feel that you are too presumptuous?"
Pei Yu was a woman of emotions, she had always firmly believed in this legend. If Shu Luyao merely doubted the veracity of it, she wouldn't be angered but what Shu Luyao did was to completely humiliate this entire story by brus.h.i.+ng it off as nonsense and even criticized the characters within as idiots. She couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in her heart, hence the words she had spoken now were also exceptionally sharp.
Shu Luyao's gaze intensified when he heard that, it seemed as though sharp swords could even shoot out of his eyes right now.
"You say I'm presumptuous?" Shu Luyao's eyes exuded a heavy pressure pressing down on Pei Yu. His aura was extremely domineering.
"Has she said it wrongly? Using your own personality to gauge others, thinking everyone in the world would have the same preference as you. If this is not presumptuous, what is?" Upon seeing this scene, the expression of Cheron who was by the side of Pei Yu, turned cold as he emotionlessly spoke. A moment later, Shu Luyao's gaze turned to Cheron as he coldly laughed, changing the topic. "Seems like the relations.h.i.+p between you both isn't bad."
After that, he didn't continue speaking but those eyes of his filled with mockery clearly contained a different meaning within. This made Pei Yu even more enraged but at this moment she only heard Cheron calmly replying, "The major powers under the heavens are all the same. Although the Myarid Sage Academy had produced many outstanding geniuses before, it wasn't guaranteed that they wouldn't produce sc.u.m."
"Cheron, your words are too overbearing. Brother Shu had never offended you before yet you humiliated him in front of everyone." Jiang Yan immediately latched on and replied. "Brother Shu is a heaven chosen from the Myriad Sage Academy, yet you used the word 'sc.u.m' to describe him? You are simply too arrogant."
As the sound of his voice faded, many people had an expression of interests on their faces. Seems like Jiang Yan wanted chaos to erupt and intentionally magnified the conflict, wanting Cheron and Shu Luyao to be in opposition with each other.
"I have always been filled with admiration towards the Myriad Sage Academy. Cheron, you have really crossed the line." Nion continued, adding oil to the fire. As expected, after they spoke, it was impossible for Shu Luyao to ignore this even if he wanted to. Right now, the gazes of everyone was on him.
"Cheron's arrogance is only for this moment. Seems like after he managed to resonate a bell, he has already forgotten his manners and start provoking people left and right. Hahaha!" A person laughed. This was also a disciple from a major power, the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor of the Cloud Prefecture. The disciples of this power all had extraordinary combat prowess and they had branches everywhere throughout the Cloud Prefecture. Even in the Jiangling Country, they had a power here with affiliations to them. That power was none other than the War Immortal Sect.
"This Zurius of the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor also seems to be a troublemaker." Everyone silently mused. Zurius didn't have any intention to provoke Cheron, he only felt that the situation now was amusing, hence he chose to say what he said.
Shu Luyao's expression turned heavy, he didn't know where to put his face in front of so many.
"Sc.u.m? At the very least, I don't sleep around with women here in the Jiangling Country. Since she's someone from the King Manor, I will definitely give face to the Jiangling King close an eye despite what she says. Are you trying to say something given how hurried you jumped to her rescue?" His gaze turned to Cheron as well as Pei Yu, glinting with an evil gleam of light.
Pei Tianyuan watched on quietly, even when Pei Yu was mixed in with this, he didn't interfere. Pei Yu's talent in the King Manor can be considered very ordinary and her status was nothing special. Now that she became the fuse for conflict between two geniuses, it might not necessarily be a bad thing. Although Shu Luyao's words hinted at her sleeping with Cheron, if Cheron stood up to her defense and their relations.h.i.+p grew closer, it would all be worth it.
"Terming you as a sc.u.m is already elevating your status." Cheron mocked. "I, with Brother Tianwen and Pei Yu just got acquainted with each other not too long ago. Our interests are the same hence we became good friends, but the words from your mouth totally twisted facts. How truly ill-bred you are."
"Threesome? What a taste." Nion coldly spoke when she heard that. Momentarily, the gazes of others landed on her as smiles flickered in their eyes. How interesting, this Nion appeared cold and arrogant yet her words were so sinister and vicious. Naturally, Nion's behavior was like this because of how domineering Cheron was before this. Evidently, she hadn't swallowed her anger from the past incident.
Pei Yu's body trembled, her countenance turning pale as her dainty hands clenched tightly into fists. A young lady being humiliated like this was an extremely serious business. This was especially so given the setting today. Nion's words were like sharp arrows, penetrating the hearts of those present.
Qin Wentian felt a sense of rage when he saw Pei Yu's expression changing and her involuntarily trembling body. These people were truly too over the top, they actually used such an innocent young lady as an example, hurling disgusting words, painting an untrue picture.
Lifting his head, he glanced at Nion. This woman from the Seven Sword Sect was none other than the person who wanted to drive him away from the ancient bell earlier. Evidently, she was an opinionated and selfish woman who has nothing but herself in her eyes.
"To think that the person saying such words would actually be a woman. How inconceivable… Or could it be that you are the one who has done something as shameless as this before, hence this is why you are bringing the term up now today?" Qin Wentian emotionlessly spoke, his eyes fixed onto Nion.
As the sound of his voice faded, Nion's expression instantly turned glacial. Her sword-like gaze swept over to Qin Wentian as she coldly replied, "Impudent, who the h.e.l.l you think you are? Stop talking nonsense or else do you believe that I will kill you right here and now?"
The gazes of several people present landed on Qin Wentian. Jiang Yan also icily commented, "Who the h.e.l.l is this fellow? Do you even have the qualifications to speak before us?"
"How interesting, maybe it's because he is sitting together with Cheron and he's forgotten who he is." Shu Luyao glanced to the left and right and asked, "Do you guys know this man?"
The people all shook their heads as mockery flashed in their gazes. Cheron was someone with status and position but this man was different. He actually dared to humiliate Nion in front of everyone here? They might feel trepidation going up against Cheron but when encountering someone like Qin Wentian who had no status or background, how could they not harshly attack?

Where did the year go? Once again, I kept busy between my schooling and my somewhat little social life that I have. In May, I graduated high school and finally went to Canada. Later in fall, I started college with more than 30 credit hours under my belt. During the semester I joined Lambda Alpha Honor Society & became its new treasurer. Along with that, I joined Student Council & started volunteering at a museum.
Looking back on the goals I set for this year, I've only actually accomplished one and a half of them. I shouldn't set any goals in 2018 because more likely than not I will not follow through with them.
Anyway, 2018 is going to be about investing in myself and the future. I don't know what that means for me yet, but I'll keep you updated.
This is the closest it comes to me having a signature scent. This perfume was gifted to me from my mom last Christmas, and I've been wearing it almost every day since. It's sweet but not overpowering. I like that it's in a rollerball so I can throw it in my bag.
Dewy Smooth 110- Porcelain
This foundation has changed the way I wear makeup. I've never found any drugstore foundation that provides this much coverage. It's easy to blend in and build upon. Let's just say this saved my butt in wedding photos this year when I broke out in hives the day of my sister's wedding.
Tony Moly I'm Real Sheet Masks Rice & Aloe
I've finally jumped on the Korean beauty train! Tony Moly masks became a skin care staple for me. Mainly, I regularly use the Rice (for clear skin) & Aloe (for dry skin).
Unless you have a smart TV or game console, you need a Roku player. Just like the Google Chrome or Fire Stick, it's just one way you can stream media into your tv. Why I chose this over its competitors is that it's a little cheaper & comes with a remote.
While in Victoria, B.C. this summer, I've discovered the best store in the world. Roots is a Canadian store that specializes in Canada appeal & leather goods. I could spend some serious money in there.
I'm one of the messiest people in the world. So I tend to stay away from white clothing because I know I'll have it destroyed before I even walk out the door. On a limb, I bought these white converse while on a girls weekend in Kansas City. Between these and my black Nikes, I wear these almost every day.
Gold Choker
I wish I'd kept the tag on this necklace because I have no clue who makes this choker. All I know is that I got this at Dillard's during their semi-annual sale. I love wearing this with V-neck tops.
Every year, two of my friends go to A-Kon in Dallas, and this year they picked me up this little plushy. I named him Eric.
American Vandal
This is one of the tightest written and produced shows of this year. Everything is there for a reason, and honestly there is no filler in it. It's short enough that you can watch it in one evening. Great characters and can't wait until season 2.
I've decided to split up my favorite shows into steaming & live. Because at least here in the US I'm able to watch Riverdale live each week. Though it is totally binge worthy, I like it better watching it live each week. Riverdale is the definition of an edgy teen adaptation. But it works! The first season was amazing, and the second season is just as good.
I just couldn't talk about one movie that I liked this year, so I narrowed it down to 10. Back in July, I made a list of my favorite films from the first half of the year. A couple of those picks have changed around. I'm going to put a quick summary with each one in case you haven't heard of it.
1.) A Cure for Wellness- A German-American horror movie that will make you hate eels.
2.) Lady Bird- Charming coming of age drama about a girl who is trying to find herself.
3.) Baby Driver- After a getaway driver falls in love, he tries to leave his life of crime behind him. – Killer Soundtrack-
4.) Thor: Ragnarok- Thor has to save Asgard, but he gets stuck on a prison planet. He ends up teaming up with an old ally to save the world.
5.) Kong: Skull Island (Read my review here)- Two-hour symbolism for the Vietnam War with a giant ape.
6.) IT- Adaptation of the Stephen King novel about a killer clown.
7.) Logan- Hugh Jackman's emotional goodbye to the X Men franchise.
8.) Atomic Blonde- A new wave fueled Cold War spy thriller.
9.) Lucky Logan- A poor man's Ocean's 11.
10.) Murder on the Orient Express- The star-studded adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel.
My favorite music this year is a combination of both old & new.

There's a dual purpose behind Soares' mission. He's is cleaning up his beach at a time when environmentalists are particularly concerned about the amount of pollution in our oceans. There are more than 150 million tons of plastic in marine waters today. At this rate, there will be more plastics than fish (by weight) in the oceans by 2050.
Soares is also providing a free community center to an area that's been ravaged by poverty. In Cape Verde, 21 percent of the population lives below the international poverty line, meaning they subsist on less than $1.25 a day.

Now that I've been here for a few weeks, the surroundings seem so normal, like I've always lived here. I'll even stop and remind myself every now and then that I'm halfway around the world. And then there are times I cross something so blatantly different, there's no mistaking I'm far from home. It's like there's an elephant in the room. And then there are times there's actually an elephant in the room. That's right, I was playing pool with some friends, caught something out of place in the ol' peripheral vision, and turned around to see an elephant in the doorway. She looked to be performing a little jig for the tourists who paid money to feed her (I think it was a her because I've seen a male elephant before and there's no mistaking that either). Maybe it was my imagination, but as her enormous hind leg moved back and forth, her eyes seemed really sad, like she knew everyone was staring and no one else looked quite the same. I thought if she's bar hopping to entertain us, the least we could do was give her beer and quite gawking, maybe even let her in on the next game. But I guess her owner had other plans.
Bootlegs Aplenty
Went to a bar tonight to watch the new Simpson's movie. The owner has a bootleg copy of every Simpson's and South Park episode and each movie. He says he'll play them for us in the upstairs TV room anytime we want. Good to know I won't be missing out on the important stuff while I'm here.

My Lovely Students
The course is going really well. The instructors are brilliant at what they do and extremely dedicated. We turn in a three-page essay and they give us back a six-page response. We actually started teaching on the fourth day. Our Thai students are volunteers so we get practice teaching and they get free practice speaking English. They are such a pleasure to teach, they're so respectful and eager to learn. And their big smiles while I'm teaching make me feel so much more comfortable than I thought I would in front of a class. Thais also have such a great (slightly goofy) sense of humor and are always looking for the joke in something. It's fun to create these funny moments in class like teaching them to say "it sucks" during my lesson on giving opinions. They got the biggest kick out of it.
Back to School
Magical Chiang Mai
I arrived in Chiang Mai a couple of days ago. Surrounded by a moat, the charming city is a maze of winding cobblestone lanes lined with mom-n-pop Thai restaurants, cooking schools, Buddhist temples, massage schools (which give incredible massages), and intimate bars. Since I arrived on a Sunday, I was able to get an immediate dose of local culture at the weekly Sunday Night Market. I tasted my way through the dense streets, noshing on Pad Thai, barbecued kabobs, waffles (those are big here now but without syrup and as dessert rather than breakfast), fresh pineapple and watermelon, and what seems to be the Thai version of rice crispy treats—addictive crispy rice patties drizzled with honey.
The next day I took a sawngthaew (song-tow)—think pick-up truck with a top and benches on either side—to the nearest mall to buy a cell phone. That was an interesting experience as cell phones work differently here and no one in the store could speak much English to explain it to me. I perused the counters next to a few monks in their honey-hued robes. Somehow, through gestures and broken words, and maybe some good vibes from the monks, I got out of the store with everything I needed.

First Night in Bangkok
My arrival in Bangkok last night was all the sweeter given a beastly flying experience. Short story: thunderstorms in Phoenix led to a missed flight, unplanned stay in San Fran hotel (sorry Steph, I would have called had it not been 3am), and about 45 hours door to door. My luggage has yet to be located (please let the flying gods look down on me; I've always been a pleasant passenger who's never complained about the food or two-gulp drink sizes). Needless to say, I was happy to lay eyes on Sarah, a complete doll for picking me up at the airport at midnight. She had her camera ready to capture my first reaction to my new surroundings (video to come). We stayed up a while chatting over Singhas. Then it was sweet relief to rest my wayworn head on a pillow and fall asleep singing "first night in Bangkok..." to the tune of "One Night in Bangkok". I wonder how long that song's gonna stay in my head.

Alternating Current (AC):
As useful and as easy to understand as DC is, it is not the only "kind" of electricity in use. Certain sources of electricity (most notably, rotary electro-mechanical generators) naturally produce voltages alternating in polarity, reversing positive and negative over time. Either as a voltage switching polarity or as a current switching direction back and forth, this "kind" of electricity is known as Alternating Current (AC)

Just a physics student who's been doing too much problem solving and too little writing the past few years. So I started this blog to get some more practice just writing though I haven't quite figured out on what.
I'll mostly try and write down my thoughts on math and physics as they come to me and practicing how to do visual representations of simple concepts.

It happens to the best of us. You're having a perfectly fine day, thinking about work and picking the kids up from school, when you come across the sudden realisation that you've put the wrong fuel in your car.
Whether it's because you're using a new car for the first time, the pumps not being labelled correctly at the petrol station or just a lapse in concentration, putting the wrong type of fuel into your vehicle tends to be a much more common occurrence than you'd think.
It's estimated that someone puts the wrong fuel into their car in the UK every three minutes. However it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom, as there are ways you can try to prevent the wrong type of fuel doing as much damage to your car. Following these steps will hopefully minimise the harm caused.
Don't turn on the engine
This is very important. The engine starts to use fuel the moment it's turned on, drawing it into the system and causing damage if the wrong type is in there. Avoiding turning on the engine could prevent any damage from being done. Unfortunately a lot of people don't realise they've put the wrong fuel in the car until it starts to shudder, misfire or emit smoke on the drive home. If this is the case pull over in a safe area straight away and get out of the vehicle.
Don't panic and stay safe
It's normal to be frightened at times like this and panic about the situation, but you should try to remain calm and take deep breaths. Your safety is the main priority, and as long as you're standing in a safe area away from oncoming traffic then things should be okay. Remember that there's a good chance the damage to your vehicle isn't too bad.
Call Wrong Fuel Expert

Recent research study shows additional evidence that gastric bypass shows significant benefit in diabetics, even those who are less obese than the current recommendations required for bariatric surgery. The study recently reported in Diabetes Care reports the results of gastric bypass in diabetics with a body mass index between 30 and 34.9.
Bariatric surgery is currently only recommended for patients with a BMI of greater than 40 or a BMI between 35 and 40, with comorbid illnesses such as diabetes among others. This study adds to the growing body of evidence that suggests lighter patients who are diabetics also show enough benefit from the gastric bypass with their diabetes control, that they should also be offered the procedure along with the heavier patients that are now receiving the operation.
"Within 26 weeks after surgery, 88% of the patients were able to discontinue their diabetes medication and maintain a HbA1c level of less than 6.5% without resuming diabetes medications," as summarized in The American College of Surgeons, Surgery News, July 2012. An addition 11% showed improvement in their medication regimens. This proves significant advantage to the diabetic patient with regards to their overall diabetic management.
A number of theories exist about why gastric bypass affects diabetics so profoundly. Weight loss alone does improve the amount of medication that diabetics will take in general. This study however showed the benefits were not directly related to weight loss alone. Other possible causes include; the hormonal changes of the gastrointestinal system from the bypass, resulting in a change in the way the body metabolizes glucose and stimulates insulin in the pancreas.
While not currently recommended for patients with lower BMI, this new evidence adds to the growing literature that supports the benefits of gastric bypass surgery in patients with a BMI between 30 and 35. Patients who wish to undergo these procedures at the lower weights are required to be in a clinical trial, such as the one recently reported. It is hoped that in the near future this procedure will be available to all patients with mild obesity and diabetes, given its significant improvement in their diabetes management.

So, I have another Wet n Wild holiday collection for you guys! I went into Walgreens on Halloween and was after some of the cool Eyelure Halloween lashes and they didn't have them anymore, so I decided to pick this set up instead. They had all the other sets as well, so I might go back and grab them.
This set comes with 6 full sized lip products for $10. That means each of these equal out to about $1.60, so not too bad. It comes with two of the Megalast lipsticks, two Vicious Varnishes, and two Velvet Mattes. Now, in my local stores, I've never seen the varnishes or matte crayons before, so this was exciting for me.
Let's jump right in!
This first color is called "Old School Glam". This is a very bright pink with slightly orange tones in it. It's creamy and very pigmented and lasts a good while. The color isn't really a fall or winter color, but it's a great color to have.
This next one is in the shade "Fuchsianista" and is a bright fuchsia. Again, not a color that I'd typically wear for fall or winter, but a gorgeous color. It's creamy and pigmented, and does leave a bit of a stain behind. Wear time is a couple of hours if you don't do a lot of drinking or eating.
As you can see, the finish on these are a bit more on the frosty side, but they are brighter colors for sure. Extremely pigmented.
So this is the Vicious Varnish in the shade "Flawless". It's a nice pink shade and is a bit more season appropriate. It's worth noting that this and the next shade are lip stains and *not* liquid lipsticks. The applicator is a doefoot style, but it's completely flat and rectangular. The stain lasts quite a few hours.
This is the shade "Epic" and it's a deep berry purple. This one is what I think of for fall. It has the same applicator as the other one and is also a stain. It lasted a good 5 hours before I removed my makeup, so I'd say it's worth it.
The downside of both of these stains is that they have a purfume-y smell to them and it lingers slightly on the lips.
As you can see, these are a bit glossy, but they are super sticky and need to be treated like a typical lip stain.
This is the first of the Velvet Mattes and it's in the shade "Plumgenue". This is a gorgeous mauvey plum shade and what I think of for fall. These are incredibly creamy and go on like a dream. I was worried that they'd just be a matte lipstick that I'd have to reapply often. These actually end up setting after a few minutes and are pretty much transfer proof. They wear comfortably on the lips and aren't drying at all. They will unset if you eat anything greasy or oily, but do leave a stain behind.
This one is in the shade "Fashion Darling" and it's a nice brown/nude shade. It has the same formula as the other matte, but pulls orange on me, so I'll have to make it work somehow.
As you can see, they're matte and season appropriate. This formula is the best of the three in the set and I wish there was a set of just these lip products.
Final thoughts:
For $10 you get 6 lip products to try out. The megalast lip colors are always great and will be fun for brighter looks. The lip stains aren't something I'm a fan of, but there are some out there that love them, so this is perfect. My vote goes to the matte crayons though, those are some of the most comfortable lipsticks I've worn in years and were matte and pretty much transferproof. If the line of those was readily available to me, I'd buy them all.
If you want to try out these products, I feel like this is a great deal.
You can buy this particular set at Walgreens and it retails for $10. I'm not sure if it'll be available elsewhere.
Stay beautiful!

Pier 1 coming to South Burlington
Will be put in next to Trader Joe's
Pier 1 coming to South Burlington
Will be put in next to Trader Joe's
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. —
A Pier 1 will occupy a second building on the site of a new development on Dorset Street, developers at White + Burke confirmed Friday.
On its website, the home and furniture store says, "If it's interesting, if it's impressive, if it's colorful and cute and one-of-a-kind—then odds are it's probably from Pier 1 Imports."
The Pier 1 will occupy a two-story building next to the Trader Joe's, developers said. Both are next to Healthy Living Market.
A Pier 1 in Burlington closed a few years ago.
Trader Joe's is known for its cheap, organic food. The closest stores are in southern New York and Massachusetts.
Trader Joe's is expected to open by this summer. There is no word on an opening date for Pier 1.

Vienna Demos?
New Classic Demos?
Horizon Demos?
User Demos?
I cannot find anything that specifically says it was created with this version. I have not been through every user submitted page but the few I looked at don't say what version they are using.
I'm not trying to be tough or anything but I'm having no fun with this library. I am SURE that it's my own limitations. I'm really hoping to find some MIDI files that demonstrate how to really use it, wither on the web or shared through people here. I asked a similar question in the VSO forums. 68 views. NOt a single response... :-((
The VSL stuff that comes with GS3 is a semi-stripped down version to introduce people to the library. You won't find a demo specifically for it on the site. The included articulations of each VSL library are well documented on their site, so you can compare the GS3 version that way. The real magic of Vienna is in the performance set IMO.
This is a demo I made back when I first got Gigastudio 3. It's not bombastic but I think VSL works best under more intimate circumstances anyhow.
used harp, flute and clarinet with Gigapulse. All 24 bit.
Thank you!Originally Posted by dcoscina
That is very nicely done.
The stuff that comes with GS is great. While it is stripped down from the larger VSL library, I would definitely not put it in the "demo" category. It does not have performance elements (except for clarinet and viola I think). It does contain legato sustains (+modwheel volume) as well as some very basic articulations like tremolos, staccatos, trills. The percussion elements are a fairly complete representation of basic orchestral percussion.
I'm a little curious. I have Opus 1, which is a stripped down 16-bit version of the Pro series. Does anyone know in more detail how the GS 3 edition stuff compares to/differs from Opus 1 - besides seemingly being 24 bit I guess.
EDIT: Seems like I found that info, on GS site. GS orchestra is even more stripped down than Opus 1 - however 24-bit.
Kid: When I become an adult I wanna be a musician.
Parent: Son, you cannot become both.
No no no. Opus 1 is much more involved than the Vienna Giga Library. Don't worry- you've got the goods including the legato performance patches. VGL only has a couple demo patches from the VSL library including the Bb clarinet (1 octave) and viola.

|Minimum Stay
|1 - 5 nights
Welcome to Casa delle Rondini, part of the 16th century farmstead San Giovanni, located in the middle of the Chianti vineyards of the beautiful and renowned Villa D'Arceno estate. Refurbished and fully air conditioned, Casa delle Rondini offers you peace and tranquility amongst some of Chianti's finest scenery 20 kilometers east of Siena.
Bright and spacious with 130 sq metres of living accommodation over two floors, Casa delle Rondini was reconstructed with locally sourced materials combining the authentic chestnut beams, cotto ceilings and floors and travertine finishes of a typical Tuscan farmhouse with modern and stylish convenience.
The present owners have completely refurbished the house with beautiful and comfortable furniture, linens and soft furnishings
A large ground floor living area with dining for six, a comfortable sitting area and a fully equipped kitchen with all appliances.
An internal staircase leads to two big double bedrooms and one single bedroom. The master bedroom has a king size bed. The second bedroom has a queen size bed (convertible to two singles) whilst the third bedroom has a small 4 foot double bed capable of accommodating one adult or two small children. The master and second bedrooms are double aspect and all three bedrooms have wonderful far reaching views over the vines, olive trees, woodlands and surrounding countryside to Monte Amiata to the south, to Siena to the west and north to San Gusme. There is a second shower room which serves the second and third bedrooms.
An ensuite shower room to the master bedroom is lined in traditional travetine with fully fitted walk in shower, wc/bidet wash basin, heated towel radiator and heated travetine floor. A separate shower room is also fully lined with travetine with shower enclosure,wash basin, heated towel radiator, wc and bidet.
The original farmhouse external staircase leads off the outside dining terrace giving easy access to the first floor from outside.
A very private and secure south and west facing top garden is accessed direct from the living area and leads through flower beds to a terrace at the end of the garden which has fabulous sunset views of Siena. Guests love their sundowners on the terrace.
From the upper garden there are steps down through the lower garden to the pool area. There is a gate at the top of the steps to prevent unsupervised access to the pool and for those who prefer, there is a gravel path without steps leading to the pool from the front of the house.
The dining terrace protected by a covered pergola and with its travertine dining table and elegant wrought iron chairs is the perfect place for long lazy lunches or romantic dinners. There are sun loungers and sun umbrellas ready to use.
The pool (18m x 4m) is set among olive trees, vines and scented herbs with stunning views to Siena. It is cleaned daily. The pool is lit at night and is open from 15th May to 30th September. It is shared by the 6 other houses in the condominium but with most other owners only using their houses occasionally, it is never busy.
Tenuta Villa D'Arceno is an important and historic privately owned estate. There are over 1000 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and woodlands which are home to deer, wild boar, porcupines and any number of birds, especially swallows (rondini) which will keep you amused in the early evening as they skim the pools. The American winery owned by the Jackson family (part owners of the famous Kendall Jackson wineries), produces excellent quality wines from the estate which you can sample and buy in the estate enoteca.
The estate is on the southern edge of the Chianti Classico area and many famous wine towns, villages and fattoria are within easy driving distance - Greve, Radda, Castellina, Bossi, Felsina to name a few. Fifteen minutes drive away is the market town of Castelnuovo Berardenga with a choice of supermarkets, local shops, restaurants and other local services. The charming villages of San Gusme, Villa a Sesta and Montebenichi are all within a ten minute drive and have good restaurants . The Unesco world heritage site of the fabulous 'crete senese' is twenty minutes away.
Good, fast roads take you easily to Siena with its famous Campo (30 minutes), Arezzo and Monteriggioni (45 minutes) and Montepulciano, San Gimigniano, Montalcino, Cortona (one hour) and countless other fascinating, romantic and beautiful towns. In ninety minutes you can be in the center of that jewel of the Renaissance, Florence, and not much longer will get you to Pisa, Lucca, Orvieto and even a day out on the Tuscan coast.
The nearest airports are Perugia (one hour), Florence (one and a half hours) and Pisa (two hours).
You will need a car!

Susan and Steven live in London and are both still working full time as lawyers. They have two married children and two grandchildren. All the family enjoys the time they can spend in Casa delle Rondini and Susan and Steven can't wait to be able to spend much more time there when they retire.
Steven Booth purchased this house in 2007
Like a lot of Brits before them, Susan and Steven have had a love affair with Tuscany for nearly twenty years. They were married in Siena and spent some of their happiest holidays on the Villa Arceno wine estate in the middle of the wonderful Chianti country side. When the opportunity came for them to buy there it was just too good a chance to miss. This will be their full time home eventually but in the meantime they wanted others to enjoy what they have enjoyed over the years.
Peace and quiet amongst some of the most beautiful countryside in the world with the delights of Renaissance Italy on the doorstep.
Photos on the internet do not capture the beauty of this place. Very comfortable and relaxing and great value. We loved our stay and will recommend to friends and clients.
We just finished a 7 night stay at Casa Rondini with our family of 5 and absolutely loved it. The photo's don't capture the full beauty of the property nor the extremely well equipped home and kitchen. Everything has been catered for, including a very generous welcome food basket plus wine from the winery. With the hot August temperatures the pool was particularly inviting and looked more like a resort pool! In summary, the property, location, hospitality of the owner and caretaker were just perfect and we definitely will recommend it to our friends and family as well as we plan to return again sometime soon hopefully!
Our family had an unforgettable stay at Casa delle Rondini! The home was beautifully decorated, the furnishings were impeccable and the bedding was reminiscent of an upscale hotel! The open kitchen was our favorite part, it was fully stocked and we enjoyed starting and ending our days in this beautiful space. The garden and grounds are gorgeous, opening up the shutters every morning was a delight. We had meals outside and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. The property is located on an estate where there is a vineyard that you drive through once you exit the main road to get to the villa. The owner Susan was so accommodating and the manager Barbara felt like a member of the family! They have thought of every detail and the welcome basket of food upon arrival was fantastic after a long journey! We highly recommend this property! My two young sons did not want to leave! We can't wait to return to this wonderful villa!
Our week at Casa delle Rondini was fabulous. This property is exceptional in every way. The owners were so gracious and easy to work with in setting up our stay. The hostess, Barb, was very responsive, and the generous welcome basket that she puts together is as wonderful as all the reviews say. The accommodations were spotless, with spacious rooms, comfortable beds, a well-appointed kitchen, and lovely grounds. My worries that it might not feel private enough were totally unfounded. Every evening we sat on the terrace (in complete privacy) to take soak in peaceful surroundings and utterly breathtaking sunsets over the olive groves and vineyards---pure tranquil bliss. The location, being at the southern end of the Chianti Classico region, make it ideal for scenic drives and wonderful wineries in every direction. A tasting at Tenuta di Arceno on the property is highly recommended (and free for those staying on the property + discounts on purchased wines). Another absolute highlight was having Chef Matisse cook us dinner one night. Thank you Susan and Steven (and Barb) for a memorable Tuscan vacation that we will always treasure.
The villa was perfect! The kitchen was fully and completely stocked with all utensils required, accommodations were stellar with the villa and grounds beautifully maintained. This villa is a centrally located Tuscany jewel accentuated by the resident manager, Barbara, who was very helpful with area directions and organization. I will definitely return to Casa delle Rondini upon my next visit to Tuscany. Truly Tuscany as it should be!
Dr, Robert T. Marks
Having read reviews prior to our stay our expectations were high.
We were not disappointed!
The superb quality of the accommodation and beauty of the surroundings are the perfect recipe for a very memorable, relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
The time and effort that has been given in order to provide excellent facilities, detailed and comprehensive information to enhance our stay were exemplary and much appreciated.
Our thanks and best wishes to all concerned from Phil & Lynda Graham and Bill & Denny Garside.
This place exceeded our expectations. It was simply beautiful. Every part of this villa was well thought out. The attention to detail in the styling and decor was exquisite. The kitchen had every implement possible which allowed us to easily cook.
The welcome basket was unrivalled. It contained so many thoughtful items - especially the wine.
We relaxed in the garden, swam in the pool and made many day trips to nearby places.
Our meal at La Bottega del 30 was wonderful!
We thoroughly recommend this place. My 12 and 13 year olds loved it too.
We hope one day to come back.

Decolonization in South Asia
725 | 38
Author : Sekhar Bandyopadhyay
Pages : 272
Edition : 2012
This book explores the meanings and complexities of India's experience of transition from colonial to the post-colonial period. It focuses on the first five years—from Independence on 15 August 1947 to the first general election in January 1952—in the politics of West Bengal, the new Indian province that was created as a result of the Partition.
Decolonization in South Asia analyses the transitional politics of West Bengal in light of recent developments in post-colonial theory on nationalism, treating the 'nation' as a space for contestation, rather than a natural breeding ground for homogeneity in the complex political scenario of post-independence India.
The book will appeal to academics interested in political science, sociology, and cultural and social anthropology.
