The a Club $3.95 What is this place, this way of life, this "A Club" that so many risk so much to join and others look to exploit.from without and from within? Since the beginning, this place, we now call the US of A, has been built by people from all over the earth. Some as explorers, some as exploiters, some as settlers, and some as founding colonists.The USA has also been shaped by slaves, immigrants, convicts, and natives. America is a magnet that attracts the restless and creative from every foreign land. The A Club? What’s The A Club? The "A" in A Club stands for "Americans." Therefore, "The A Club" is "The Americans Club." "The United States of Americans." Or as some pronounce it; Amrca. Specifically that group of American "Citizens" declared on the 2nd & 4th of July, 1776 starting as the "thirteen united States of America" at 2.3 million people* and continuing unbroken to today @ 289 million "citizens strong" and counting. 4 million of these American Citizens are paying their dues to the A Club from their homes on foreign soil. There are another 14 million foreigners living here, some legally and most illegally, some in our system to work and others to work the system. Some visitors are here waiting in line to contribute their part as full-fledged legal American citizens, some are here temporarily to soak up "America" and return to their countries to apply lessons learned and some are here to work the system, to sponge off our prosperity, exploit our open society, contribute the bare minimum (sounds like some native-born Americans we hear about), all while staying loyal to foreign soil. America is the Big Show that millions line up for miles just to get tickets to and for those entering fromthe south; we’re the World Cup Soccer/Futbol Championship Game between Mexico and the USA. Will The A Club or the M Club emerge as victor? Or will both win for the common good? Of the world.

Secret Paradise In Mexico Is Beautiful Bucerias

Bucerias

It is hard to not fall in love with Mexico. Tasty food, gorgeous beaches, alluring customs and amiable people make up the culture in this distinctly different country. The one negative aspect may be the swarms of travelers in the big resort towns. However, just a short drive from the resort center of Puerto Vallarta is the town of Bucerias – an old fishing port that these days could be considered Puerto Vallarta light.

Like any big resort center, Puerto Vallarta has dozens of nightclubs and theme bars to appease the rowdy set. The beaches are always full of travelers, and local restaurants offer American and European tastes rather than the authentic Mexican fare. However, not everyone enjoys the clamor of the big city, and large crowds can often wreck what otherwise would be a wonderful excursion. Just a fifteen minute drive north though, is Bucerias – which has all the amenities of a large resort town but at a relaxing pace and with a more welcoming attitude.

Bucerias, like most western coast communities, was a fishing port at its beginning in the early twentieth century. The word Bucerias means “divers” in Spanish; indicating the town’s origins when many of the founders ferreted out a living diving into the waters of Banderas Bay for oysters. Bucerias is famous for its oysters and nearly all of the little tamale stands that line the streets offer fresh seafood tacos. Fishing is still a huge part of the local economy as there are numerous outfitters and family ventures in town. Huge sailfish and sharks are regularly caught in the bay.

Bucerias is still adorned with cobblestone roads and street vendors of traditional Mexican villages. However, this town of over 15,000 people mixes entirely up-to-date comforts with traditional customs and the traditionally casual Mexican attitude. Bucerias has a glitzy, all-inclusive mega resort that compares to any in Puerto Vallarta, and there are even a few quality theaters that do a fine job of presenting international plays . Clubs in Bucerias are as exciting as ones in the big cities, but they have a more relaxed attitude and far smaller groups to contend with.

In addition to the posh resorts and elegant clubs, Bucerias has a refined edge that is often unseen. Artists gather at Bucerias and the town hosts a large weekly art carnival. Dozens of galleries tout their wares at the market – which promotes emerging Mexican artists who are often having their work displayed for the first time.

Excerpt: The 1250s decade ran from January 1, 1250, to December 31, 1259. The decade was perhaps most dominated by the Mongols, who under the leadership of Möngke Khan continued their rapid expansion throughout Asia both to the east and west of their home territories. The Mongols destroyed the Kingdom of Dali in Laos, and captured the Goryeo kingdom in Korea, eastern Galicia in Europe, Anatolia in Turkey, and the Islamic center of Baghdad, where tens or hundreds of thousands were killed as the city was burned to the ground. In Thailand the Lannathai kingdom was founded. In Japan, a new sect of Buddhism was formed, while in Korea the carving of Buddhist scriptures on 81,000 wooden blocks was completed. Europe noted several important cultural milestones, including the completion of several important cathedrals and the beginning of construction of others, as well as the founding of the Collège de Sorbonne at the University of Paris. Significant political developments in Europe included the lack of a Holy Roman Emperor for most of the decade, further erosion of the power of the monarchy in England and Portugal, the end of the failed Seventh Crusade in Egypt, and the expulsion of the Jews from France and the Moors from Portugal. In religion, a papal bull authorized the use of torture in the Medieval Inquisition, and the Roman Catholic church clarified the concept of purgatory. Several important modern cities, including Stockholm and Lviv, were founded in the 1250s. One of the largest volcanic eruptions of the Holocene epoch is thought to have occurred ca. January, 1258, with ice cores pointing to a tropical location such as El Chichón, Mexico or possibly Quilotoa, Ecuador. The aftermath may have led to climatic anomalies in rainfall, effects on agriculture,... More:

Excerpt: The Caverio Map (also known as Caveri Map or Canerio Map) is a map drawn by Nicolay de Caveri , circa 1505.History Currently at Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris. First described in 1890 and reproduced two years later. This undated map was one of the primary sources used to make the Waldseemüller map in 1507. Many historians believe that the Caveri map was completed in 1504-05. The map is signed with "Nicolay de Caveri Januensis". It was probably either made in Lisbon by the Genoese Canveri, or copied by him in Genoa from a Portuguese map very similar to the Cantino map, if not the Cantino map itself. The Cantino map was in Genoa toward the end of 1502 and presumably the following few years, when Caveri could have used it as the basis of his map.The map It is drawn on parchment by hand and coloured. It is composed of ten sections or panels, the whole forming a rectangle measuring 2.25 by 1.15 metres.Mystery associated with this map According to Carlos Sanz (Mapas antiguos del mundo , Madrid, 1961), if the east coast of North America is compared with modern-day maps, we will be struck by its immediately noticeable similarity with the coastline stretching from Florida to the Delaware or Hudson River. "This would appear to be impossible", he adds, "when we consider the general belief that the Europeans neither saw nor set foot on the beaches in the southern states of the present-day U.S.A. before Ponce de León arrived there in 1512 or 1513, Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1523, Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón in 1520-1524 or Esteban Gómez in 1525. An explanation must be found". Or, by Vasco Núñez de Balboa in 1513.What appears to be the Gulf of Mexico can be seen on the map, at a time when, "officially" it had still not been
