	Countdown to Merger Santa Fe's Marceline Subdivision With just six days remaining before Santa Fe was to be merged with the Burlington Northern, Pentrex set out to do something special to mark the occasion. It was decided to document these last few days of Santa Fe's independence by capturing the action along the Marceline Subdivision. Starting at Fort Madison, Iowa, we began a trek that took us across the isolated Missouri hills and river valleys toward Kansas City. Experiencing all types of weather, we had our share of both sunshine and rain as we relentlessly sought out photo locations along the double-tracked line. Step by step, and day by day, we made our way toward Kansas City, arriving there on the afternoon of Santa Fe's last full day, September 21, 1995. The Marceline Sub traverses some of the most isolated, backwoods territory imaginable for this part of the country. The tracks climb and twist through the scenic rolling hills of northeastern Missouri. Overhead bridges offer excellent views of Santa Fe's hottest trains. The thirty miles of joint operations with Norfolk Southern are viewed as trains from both railroads race across the tangent speedway. On our final day we view the single-tracked Missouri River bridge and head on to Kansas City to reach the end of the Marceline Sub. Join us as we say good-bye to an old friend and pay tribute to one of America's favorite railroads. The days clicked off one by one and when the trek was complete we'd reached the end of an era on this Countdown to Merger.

	Abkhazia National Anthem Abkhazia (pronounced /æbˈkeɪʒə/ or /æbˈkɑːziə/, Abkhaz: Аҧсны Apsny, Georgian: აფხაზეთი Apkhazeti or Abkhazeti, Russian: Абха́зия Abhazia) is a region in Georgia that is a de facto independent republic with no international recognition. It is located within the internationally recognized borders of Georgia on the eastern coast of the Black Sea and borders the Russian Federation to the north. Under Georgia's official subdivision, it is an autonomous republic (Georgian: აფხაზეთის ავტონომიური რესპუბლიკა, Abkhaz: Аҧснытәи Автономтәи Республика), with Sukhumi as its capital, bordering the region of Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti to the east. A secessionist movement of the Abkhaz ethnic minority in the region led to the declaration of independence from Georgia in 1992 and the Georgian-Abkhaz armed conflict from 1992 to 1993 which resulted in the Georgian military defeat and the mass exodus and ethnic cleansing of Georgian population from Abkhazia. In spite of the 1994 ceasefire accord and the ongoing UN-monitored and Russian-dominated CIS peacekeeping operation, the sovereignty dispute has not yet been resolved and the region remains divided between the two rival authorities, with over 83 percent of its territory governed by the Russian-backed Sukhumi-based separatist government and about 17 percent governed by the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, recognized by Georgia as the legal authority of Abkhazia, located in the Kodori Valley, part of Georgian-controlled Upper Abkhazia. This dispute remains a source of serious tension between Georgia and Russia.
	RIBATEJO @ RESTAURANTE FORCADO - LISBOA 2008 Ribatejo No Ribatejo a dança com maior difusão é o Fandango. É uma espécie de dança da sedução, o homem gira em torno da mulher cantando e gritando de forma entusiástica. Por vezes a dança é feita por dois homens que "competem", um contra o outro, frente a frente, sapateando o melhor que poderem. O Ribatejo (também conhecido informalmente como Borda d'Água) é uma antiga província (ou região natural) de Portugal, formalmente instituída pela reforma administrativa de 1936. Ao contrário de outras províncias que foram restauradas em 1936, o Ribatejo foi uma província criada totalmente de novo, dado que o seu território pertencia tradicionalmente à antiga província da Estremadura. No entanto, as províncias de 1936 praticamente nunca tiveram qualquer atribuição prática, e desapareceram do vocabulário administrativo (ainda que não do vocabulário quotidiano dos portugueses) com a entrada em vigor da Constituição de 1976. Fazia fronteira a Noroeste com a Beira Litoral, a Oeste e a Sul com a Estremadura, a Sudeste com o Alto Alentejo e a Norte e Nordeste com a Beira Baixa. Quando foi criada era constituída por 21 concelhos, integrando a quase totalidade do distrito de Santarém e ainda dois concelhos do distrito de Lisboa e um do distrito de Portalegre. Tinha a sua sede na cidade de Santarém. Distrito de Lisboa: Azambuja, Vila Franca de Xira. Distrito de Portalegre: Ponte de Sor. Distrito de Santarém: Abrantes, Alcanena, Almeirim, Alpiarça, Benavente, Cartaxo, Chamusca, Constância, Coruche, Entroncamento, Ferreira do Zêzere, Golegã, Mação ( Beira Baixa),Rio Maior, Salvaterra de Magos, Santarém, Sardoal, Tomar, Torres Novas, Vila Nova da Barquinha. A província passou posteriromente a contar com 22 municípios, posto que foi entretanto criado, na área do distrito de Santarém, o concelho do Entroncamento (1945, por divisão do de Vila Nova da Barquinha). O seu antigo território actualmente reparte-se pelas regiões do Alentejo, Centro e de Lisboa, sendo que até 2002 era o núcleo central da região de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo. Em termos de subregiões, acha-se repartido pela Grande Lisboa (concelho de Vila Franca de Xira), Alto Alentejo (concelho de Ponte de Sor) e ainda pela totalidade da subregião da Lezíria do Tejo e quase todo o Médio Tejo (exceptuado o concelho de Ourém). ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ The Ribatejo (pronounced [ʁibɐˈtɛʒu]) is the most central of Portugal's traditional regions or provinces, with no coastline nor border with Spain. The region is crossed by the river Tagus (Ribatejo = riba do Tejo, "on, or beyond, the banks of the Tagus") and is home to some of the richest agricultural lands in the country. It is particularly famous for raising the horses and bulls used in the Portuguese style of bullfighting. Although the province no longer has any officially defined borders, being only a historical and cultural region, the places normally considered to be part of it are Abrantes, Alcanena, Almeirim, Alpiarça, Azambuja, Benavente, Cartaxo, Chamusca, Constância, Coruche, Golegã, Ponte de Sor, Salvaterra de Magos, Santarém, Tomar, Torres Novas, Vila Franca de Xira and Vila Nova da Barquinha. Historically, the biggest cities of Ribatejo were Santarém and Tomar. As an administrative subdivision, the province disappeared in 1976, after being formally created in 1936, and its territory was incorporated by Portugal's present regions.
