The NYC West Village

Posted by Todd Goldfarb on March 1st, 2010

In the western part of Greenwich Village, you can find NYC West Village. The boundaries of the West Village are not clearly defined but they attempt to separate it from the surrounding areas using the Hudson River and either Sixth Avenue or Seventh Avenue and then going from 14th Street to Houston Street.

It was known as “Little Bohemia” in 1916 and is the center of the Bohemian lifestyle on the west side. The art galleries in Chelsea by the High Line connect the historic district. By using the elevated train tracks running parallel to Tenth Avenue it transformed an open greenway.

In the NYC West Village it is mostly residential, however, it has a mass of small restaurants, shops and services. The Meatpacking District is to the north end of the neighborhood and it is sometimes called Gansevoort Historic District. This has fashionable boutiques and night clubs.

When you talk a walk through the NYC West Village you will find great restaurants and windy European like streets where there are museums in the area that can enhance a taste of art, music and literature. When you want to get lost in a small European city and away from the everyday environment north of 14th Street visit the NYC West Village.

There are beautiful restaurants and lovely unique shops in the NYC West Village. Here it is a much slower pace than other parts of the city and you can really enjoy your visit wandering around the NYC West Village.

So if you want to escape the horn honking and sky scrapper environment and sip some coffee or enjoy a bite to eat with friends and/or family there is plenty of places to do so in the West Village.

Every single day the Daily Flock will send you one single email containing several of the most enticing ‘deals of the day’ in your city. We have enthusiastically searched the Internet for restaurants, shops, and other activities that will entertain you in NYC West Village and assembled it into one convenient place just for you!

Scotland And The Clans Of The Highlands

Posted by Matt Robson on February 19th, 2010

The Highlands of Scotland have been well known for their wars and betrayals and it is definitely accurate that from the reign of James IV in the 1490’s existence in the Highlands was somewhat tumultuous. In 1493, James went against the strong chiefs of the MacDonald Clan and forfeited the MacDonald Lord of the Isles in favour of himself and the Campbell Clan. Thus the Campbell’s took over as powerhouse at this time at the expense of the MacDonalds.

Issues arose not only with the MacDonalds but also with several additional Scottish clans because of this harmful power divide that the Campbells kept over all others. The Campbell were in such a position that they could buy up readily available land and charge a kind of lease upon anybody that wished to utilize the area for cows or sheep. The MacLeans were especially aggrieved Clan. As a sidenote here, the actual word Clan emanates from the Gaelic expression “clann” which actually means “children”.

It would seem to be this could mean that each person in the clan were closely associated but this was not necessarily so. Just the higher echelons of a specific clan were linked to the chiefs. Everyone else just considered the chief as the chief instead of as a relative as such.

The particular system of clans came from a mixture of early Celtic idealism and feudal ways, the main point being the ownership of lands. The clan chief was the owner of the lands of the clan and he had the capability to grant the land out to his fellow clans men. The status of a clan nonetheless wasn’t necessarily about the amount of land that the family owned or operated but more concerning the number of males the clan could possibly muster to be able to fight in war. Because of the Highlands being extremely militaristic they would be looked to for fighting men during the time of conflict between the King and his opponents. For the highland clans this became problematic because they often became embroiled in lowland politics.

When James VI came to be King however, civil war broke out. When he called on the clans to assist the Campbells decided otherwise. It was not just the Campbells who were to cause issues for James - he extirped (sent away) the clan MacGregor in 1603, and in 1609 he introduced new laws in to force which limited all clan chiefs from utilizing and abusing their earlier powers.

Taken From A Motorcycle History Book In The Year 2095

Posted by L.J. James on February 11th, 2010

Many of the “facts” in this story are based on Legend and Myth as much of the history of the Motorcycle and it’s Culture was lost in the Great Rebellion of 2057.

Taken from a history book in the year 2095… Motorcycles And The Culture They Inspire 1868-2017

Motorcycles started out as steam engines strapped on to bicycles in 1868. Soon after the gas engine took its place and by the 1900’s there were Motorcycle shops and Dealers all over the World. For awhile, Motorcycle’s were simply used as transportation. In 1907, when Henry Fords, Ford Motor Company, released the Model-T at a price many could afford, the Motorcycle soon went from a necessity to a luxury item.

In the 1940’s, the Motorcycle Culture really took off. An organization called the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) held races and events all over the United States of America. In 1947 the AMA held an event in Hollister California. This event was attended by many of the AMA Racing Teams and Motorcycle Clubs. This event marks the beginning of the separation of Motorcyclists which eventually led to the end of Motorcycling in the year 2017. Newspapers, being what they where in 1947, got a hold of some pictures of Motorcyclists having fun at the event. The press decided to embellish the facts and transformed the story into a torrid tale of Bikers taking over a small town! More negative news stories soon followed. Soon after Hollywood began releasing movies that portrayed Motorcyclists as lawless and evil.

The American Motorcyclist Association, trying to end the bad press, responded by basically saying that the Newspapers had lied and that it was only 1% of the Motorcyclists that caused problems. This resulted in the first ripple in the Unity of the Motorcycle World and the Medias’ hatred of Bikers. Around the same time, the AMA began adding new requirements for motorcycles to be able to race in AMA sanctioned Races. Those whose motorcycles didn’t meet the new AMA requirements started their own Race Leagues. Because the new Race Leagues/Clubs were not AMA sanctioned, they soon became known as Outlaw Race Leagues/Clubs. Although many Bikers raced in both the AMA and Outlaw Leagues, another great separation had begun.

By the late 1960’s, the separation of the Motorcycle Community was becoming more evident. There were now three basic Motorcycle groups. The American Motorcycle Association, Outlaw/ 1%er Clubs(All 1%ers were Outlaws, but not all Outlaws were considered 1%ers) and Independent Riders. Over the years, the AMA continued to grow. In addition to racing, they began to champion Motorcycle Rights and Safety. As time went on, others formed independent groups whose goals were similar to that of the AMA. The inability or outright refusal of these groups to work together with each other, resulted in further separation of the Motorcycle Community and Culture.

In the 1970’s, rifts began to grow between some of the Outlaw/1% Clubs. By the 1990’s, the media had inflated these conflicts into stories that rivaled the tall tales of the old west. These tall tales where ment to invoked fear of the Outlaw/1% Clubs in the public. Everyone was lied to,. They were told to stay away from and fear all Outlaw/1% Clubs. The media began referring to Motorcycle Clubs as Motorcycle Gangs, a term meant to further instill fear into the heart of the Public. Stories and rumors began surfacing, claiming these “Gangs” were ruthless and would kill or maim people for little or no reason at all. By the early 21st Century, every minor conflict between Outlaw/1% Clubs was made into a book, made for TV movie, or docudrama. Titles like “Motorcycle Gang Wars In Your Back Yard” were common. Although real wars, conflicts, and suffering were occurring worldwide, the Corporate owned media chose to report fiction over fact.

In 2009, a conflict between two rival Clubs was captured on Video at a “Biker Build Off” event. The coverage by the media and negative publicity that followed was so overwhelming that in 2010, the United States Government passed a law banning all Outlaw/1% Clubs. In response, the Outlaw/1% Clubs put aside their differences and formed “Bikers United”. The Bikers fought back stating the law was unconstitutional and un-American. Even as late as 2010, Many Americans still clung to the misguided belief that they had rights and lived in a free Nation. The Bikers fought hard and came very close to winning, but without the support of the Motorcycle Rights Groups,The many other Clubs, and the Independent Riders, all of whom had been brainwashed into believing the Outlaw Clubs were criminal organizations, they were defeated.

Many of the Outlaw/1% Clubs tried to stay together. The Clubs went underground, but after many raids and constant Government harassment, they all but disappeared. In 2013, in an effort to ensure that the Outlaw/1% Clubs never returned, the Government decided to outlaw all Motorcycle Clubs and organizations. The AMA, the many Clubs and Motorcycle Rights Organizations United in an effort to battle the Governments oppression. They tried to use many of the same tactics and strategies that the Outlaw/1% Clubs used. Unfortunately, the Government was much smarter and stronger this time around. They had learned many lessons in their fierce battles with the Outlaw/1% Clubs, and they used what they had learned against the united Clubs and Organizations. With no Outlaw/1% Clubs left to assist them and without the support of the Independent Riders, the United Clubs and Organizations were defeated.

In 2015, the Government passed a law that made it illegal to even look like an Outlaw on a Motorcycle. The Independent Riders banned together to try and fight the law, but by this time their numbers were few and there wasn’t anyone left to show them how to fight for their rights. After a brief protest, they too were soundly defeated. In 2017, What was now a “Global Government”, in its infinite wisdom, decided that Motorcycles posed a danger to the public. They passed a law banning the manufacturing of Motorcycle’s and their use! They ordered that all existing Motorcyclesbe destroyed. This brought to an end, the History of Motorcycles. It would take until the year 2093 before anything even close to resembling a Motorcycle reappeared.

As a Historian looking back at the History of Motorcycles and the Culture it created, it amazes me how powerful the Motorcycle Culture could have been had they not let every little thing separate them. Instead of embracing something they all had in common and working together to protect it, they instead let their differences, the media, and the government divide them. By the time the Bikers realized how much they were connected and needed each other, it was too late. Their numbers were certainly sufficient to achieve victory, but their failure to come together as Brothers and Sisters and work for the common good ultimately caused their demise. Had they been victorious, it may have been enough to stop all of the oppression and tyranny that soon followed. History is full of stories just like this one, over and over again. The ones who love and honor Freedom the most are taken down first and the rest soon fall like dominoes. Until the Great Rebellion of 2057, we as a Global Society did not realize how important it was to put aside our differences. It may have taken awhile, but we finally figured it out…Just in time!

Are you thinking about a trip to London? If you are, it’s time to take your computer mouse and get clicking. The internet is a fabulous place to find the sights of interest, book cheap flights and find great places to stay. The internet is the best at finding all the ways to stretch your money leaving you the extra cash to make your visit just that much more enjoyable.

In the days before the popular rise of the internet, planning trips to foreign locations was nearly impossible without the services of an expensive travel agent. Now, with so many online resources, it is easy to compare rates of different companies to find the one offering the best deal on your ideal vacation. It is even easy to have your chosen activities included in the price of your vacation at a discounted rate.

Everything about your vacation, from the hotels to the restaurants, can be planned and paid for online through one of many travel agency websites. Airlines also have their own websites, allowing you to shop directly from them for their special deals and packages. Many planning websites offer deals and bundles that include flights, rental cars, hotel stays, and optional, discounted activity tickets.

If you are a parent there is no better way to get kids excited about travel than to let them participate in the planning process. Allow them to research and make choices about some of the family’s itinerary. They may even surprise you in their ability to help find deals and ferret out interesting activities the whole family can enjoy.

London is rich in museums, fine dining, art and culture but there are many other fun and exciting things to do while there. The internet brings you a way to discover the area before you arrive. You can book multiple flights so you can visit many cities on your trip. Flying out of London’s airports is so fairly priced it may be cheaper than driving, taking a bus or going by train.

One tip you should consider before you go: Public transportation in Europe is well-developed and an inexpensive option if you want to see a variety of sights. However, pack lightly as city buses have limited space for luggage and their may be limits to what you can stow on trains and taxis as well. If your family or group is large in may require several cabs to transport all of you to and from the hotel if you have many bags.

Airline fares are very low right now. This has made it more affordable to travel to Europe for many families and couples and taking advantage of it online is easy. All the attractions London has to offer are more than enough to make anyone want to explore it right now. Anyone can and for a very low price. Book your travel online and use the money you save on airfare to delight in that famous restaurant or to take a tour of a famous winery all the while savoring the ambiance of one of the great cities of the world, London.

Divine Importance Of The City Of Durham

Posted by Frederick Hoymer on February 5th, 2010

A great city to visit in the North east of England is Durham. Durham is famous for its castle and cathedral and as it is located on a hill, the name actually translates into hill home. Monks were the first to build in this area though settlements have been found that date to 2000BC. This peninsula is strategically advantageous for many reasons and a church was the first building constructed.

There is a bit of a legend with how the monks found the spot for the city. They were told in a dream to take the bier of Saint Cuthbert to Dun Holm, but they had never heard of the place.

Many individuals made pilgrimages to Durham because of its associated with saint and other religious objects. The shrine of St Cuthbert is found here and he was a very well known saint. Cuthbert could heal anything which in turn extended a person’s life. His body was also later on to be found incorruptible. Many individuals traveled from afar to see his final resting place.

Besides religious important the position of the city also was important for fighting of the Scots. As Durham castle is the only Norman castle to never be breached. The most famous battle of its time period, the Battle of Neville’s Cross, took place in Durham and it was critical for the defensive of the North of England.

The present Durham cathedral was originally constructed in 1093 AD and is still a strong place for Christian worship. It is considered on of the most magnificent Romanesque cathedrals found in Europe. This cathedral also contains elements, such as the rib vaulting, that marks the start of Gothic architecture. There are many shrines and relics that can be viewed in the Cathedral.

The cathedral that can be visited now was built in 1093 AD and is still a very important spot for Christianity. This cathedral is described as the most Romanesque of those found in Europe. While much of the design is Romanesque there are some elements such as the rib vaulting that were responsible for the start of the Gothic style. The cathedral holds several relics and shrines.

The castle then was given to the University where it was used as accommodation. The great Hall of the cathedral is very famous and is the largest found in England.

Posted by Jeff Lorenz on February 3rd, 2010

Summer camp is the place for kids and animals to meet, whether the camp includes animals as a part of traditional camp programs or makes a more formal approach as a science camp.

Swift Nature Camp best known as Science Camp has pond aquarium that offers a unique way to see the world from the perspective of another animal: pond life from a frogs point of view. The Wisconsin camp also maintains a live animal collection they call Natures Neighbors. Campers can bring their own small animals to camp with them where the animals can live in the camps Nature Center and be available to all the children

Animals are a part of Swift Nature Camps voluntary merit program, in which campers can earn special patches by learning skills in categories such as insects, bird watching, pet care, and horseback riding. Acquiring skills is never separate from the fun and play that is a part of being a camper.

Benefit From Your Luxury Train Travel On Rovos Rail

Posted by Christian Arnot on January 25th, 2010

If you think of luxury train travel one thing should come to mind that is Rovos Rail. It’s called the pride of Africa this wonderful collection of high class locomotives that can take you on a wonderful journey. Whether it is to have a romantic getaway or just go site seeing, this should be the place you look too.

Though it has taken some time to get many of the fleet in their selection. It is something that has been accomplished very well. Through years of searching and refurbishing you now have a chance to ride a classic train with modern pluses.

The oldest of the locomotives they have is the 1893, it is the 439 Tiffany. Built back in that year by the Company of Dubs and Co. Located in Scotland. During that time it was something that was built for the Cape Government to use. At that time the trip it would take would be the one that lead from Johannesburg into Cape Town.

Having been rebuilt from the original firebox type they are now more efficient than ever with the Belpaire firebox boiler. The family would purchase this loco after Rohan saw it during a trip and loved the way it looked. Buying it in 1987 and doing an overall refurbishment to make it look beautiful.

Also part of the fleet are three wonderful 19D class, built by different builders through the years. Though only a total of 235 of these would ever be made and put out through the years of 1937 until 1948.

Those three have been modified to give them more running time and a larger area that they can cover. They now have Vanderbilt tenders that can hold more coal and water than originally.

The first of these models that would be acquired would be the 2702 Bianca that was built during 1938. It would be acquired by the family during 1986 when it was found in a scrap metal yard. Again it would be given the right touch to get it back into working condition.

Again a metal yard would be the place where they would get the second of the 19D classes. This time it would be the 2701 Brenda that would be bought. Sending it to the yard to be brought back into condition to run.

The final 19D that they have in their fleet was something that Rohan had seen while visiting the location that would redo his other trains. It would be bought and fixed up accordingly and named the 3360 Shaun.

This is really a once in a lifetime chance that many should think of taking. A chance of riding in a classic train that has all the modern needs that you seek. The inside of these trains is completely wonderful.

A true chance for the train lover too out there to enjoy something that would offer a fantastic journey. Not only can you enjoy the scenery of Africa when you travel this way. But you will also have the chance to be on some of the most beautiful locomotives that are out there currently.

If you think of luxury train travel one thing should come to mind that is Rovos Victoria Falls . It’s called the pride of Africa this wonderful collection of top quality trains that can take you on an exhilirating journey.
