Santa Fe River Springs, Florida - (HD)
About 2 hours west of St. Augustine, you'll find one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the southern United States - the fresh water springs of the Santa Fe River. We got there by renting a canoe at Santa Fe Canoe Outpost and paddling down river.
As can always be the case in Florida, we ran in to a sudden change in weather. Thunder, lightning, and a downpour of rain chased us to the swampy banks to find shelter under some trees!
The fact that it's only a 1 in 5 chance to see an alligator on this stretch of the river was cold comfort....I mean, the odds were less than that we'd get caught in the rain!
Thankfully, our son was up to the challenge as he set about setting up the comforts of home (like a place to go to the bathroom!)...

Life Survival's Florida River Knives by Chris Parker
“I grew up camping, fishing, and surfing and later moved into hiking, survival and traveling. I’ve owned many knives over the years. Some were good and some were bad. As a twelve-year-old boy in Florida I feared pulling my blade out and seeing it covered in rust or breaking the point off in a tree. Sure, I knew to oil the blade and care for it and I did, but I went in and out of the water three times that day and spots of rust were already appearing and I didn’t mean to stick the blade into that tree so far. Humidity and sweat alone were known to tarnish some blades. I always thought, the perfect Florida Knives would be super rugged, made of a strong stainless and a hard wood. Drifting down the river one day, I daydreamed the sizes and named them after my favorite Florida rivers and springs.
Eventually, I challenged myself to develop affordable knives that were perfectly suited for Florida’s elements and weather. They would have to be crafted from a locally sourced wood with powerful properties. A material that termites couldn’t eat and that wouldn’t rot in Florida’s freshwater springs and water ways. The steel would have to be resistant to corrosion and incredibly strong. Then there was the biggest challenge… I had to find someone to help me make my knife idea come to fruition. Why not make them myself? Because I may be capable of many things, but making knives is definitely not one.
I visited many knife shows and expos and I talked to a ton of knife makers. Then one day I saw a custom straight razor on the Internet made by Chris Parker of Parker Knives USA. It was absolutely beautiful. I checked out his other works and they were equally as impressive. I approached Chris with my sketches, ideas, and pictures and we spoke for a while. I had found my knife maker. Chris brought everything together into one piece and I could see my thoughts and dreams being birthed into physical form. Chris taught me about some of the finer details in knife making and we added modifications I had never even imagined. I watched my flattened-style handle slowly morph into a molded and comfortable form. A point turned a bit more upward here, an edge widened there, and The Florida River Knives were born.”
Born out of necessity, the Florida River Knives are the latest line of cutting tools from Life Survival. Each blade is crafted from corrosion-resistant 440c Stainless Steel. As an avid outdoorsman and guide, Aaron Phillips needed blades that could withstand both the weather and high impact usage. Aaron took his sketches and concepts to knifemaker Chris Parker of Parker Knives USA. The knifemaker put his pencil to paper and after consideration from both parties, the Florida River Knives were born.
The handles are carved from Lignum Vitae, a tree indigenous to Florida and the Caribbean. This type of wood is the densest commercially traded wood in the world. It has been used in shipbuilding for centuries because it is impervious to rot and wood-consuming insects. Each knife is named after a Florida river. Our largest knife is the Suwannee, the survival chopper, followed by the Apalachi, the EDC or camp knife, followed by the Oklawaha, the neck knife, and finally, the Myakka, the carver. Each blade has an intended design and use, but all maintain rugged integrity. All the knives in the set, except the Myakka Carver, are full tang and mechanically fastened with brass pins. Modifications and customizations are available upon request. The Florida River Knives are crafted from native durable materials and are blades to be used.
Chris Parker is a ten year United States Army veteran and has been making knives for nearly half a decade. He works full time as a crocodile wrangler and is the owner of Parker Knives USA
Aaron Phillips is a river and trail guide, outdoor instructor, and survivalist. He also provides production guide services, consults for outdoor television programs, and offers many other outdoor related services.

SUMMARY
=======
Francisco Vázquez de Coronado y Luján (Spanish pronunciation: [fɾanˈθisko ˈβaθkeθ ðe koɾoˈnaðo]; 1510 – 22 September 1554) was a Spanish conquistador and explorer who led a large expedition from Mexico to present-day Kansas through parts of the southwestern United States between 1540 and 1542. Vázquez de Coronado had hoped to reach the Cities of Cíbola, often referred to now as the mythical Seven Cities of Gold, which is a term not invented until American gold-rush days in the 1800s. His expedition marked the first European sightings of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River, among other landmarks. His name is often Anglicized as Vasquez de Coronado.

Jean Arthur, Rudy Vallee, Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy, Dorothy Lamour, Vera Vague
Jean Arthur (October 17, 1900 -- June 19, 1991) was an American actress and a major film star of the 1930s and 1940s. James Harvey wrote in his recounting of the era, No one was more closely identified with the screwball comedy than Jean Arthur. So much was she part of it, so much was her star personality defined by it, that the screwball style itself seems almost unimaginable without her.[1] She has been called the quintessential comedic leading lady.[2]
Arthur is best-remembered for her feature roles in three Frank Capra films: Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), You Can't Take It With You (1938), and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), films that championed the everyday heroine. Her last performance was the memorable—and distinctly non--comedic—role as the rancher's wife in George Stevens' Shane (1953). Arthur was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1944 for her performance in The More the Merrier (1943). To the public eye, Arthur was known as a reclusive woman. News magazine Life observed in a 1940 article: Next to Garbo, Jean Arthur is Hollywood's reigning mystery woman.[3] As well as recoiling from interviews, she avoided photographers and refused to become a part of any kind of publicity. [4]
Arthur was born Gladys Georgianna Greene in Plattsburgh, New York to Protestant parents, Johanna Augusta Nelson and Hubert Sidney Greene. Her maternal grandparents were immigrants from Norway[5] who settled in the American West. She had three older brothers: Donald Hubert (1891), Robert B. (1892) and Albert Sidney (1894).[6] She lived off and on in Westbrook, Maine from 1908 to 1915 while her father worked at Lamson Studios in Portland, Maine as a photographer. The product of a nomadic childhood, Arthur also lived at times in Jacksonville, Florida; Schenectady, New York; and, during a portion of her high school years, in the Washington Heights neighborhood - at 573 West 159th Street - of upper Manhattan. The family's relocation to New York City occurred in 1915, where Arthur dropped out of high school in her junior year due to a change in family circumstances.[7] She reputedly took her stage name from two of her greatest heroes, Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc) and King Arthur. Presaging many of her later film roles, she worked as a stenographer on Bond Street in lower Manhattan during World War I. Both her father and siblings went to war, where her brother Albert died as a result of injuries sustained in battle.

SUMMARY
=======
George Henry Thomas (July 31, 1816 – March 28, 1870) was a United States Army officer and a Union general during the American Civil War, one of the principal commanders in the Western Theater.
Thomas served in the Mexican–American War and later chose to remain with the U.S. Army for the Civil War as a Southern Unionist, despite his heritage as a Virginian (whose home state would join the Confederate States of America). He won one of the first Union victories in the war, at Mill Springs in Kentucky, and served in important subordinate commands at Perryville and Stones River. His stout defense at the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863 saved the Union Army from being completely routed, earning him his most famous nickname, the Rock of Chickamauga. He followed soon after with a dramatic breakthrough on Missionary Ridge in the Battle of Chattanooga. In the Franklin–Nashville Campaign of 1864, he achieved one of the most decisive victories of the war, destroying the army of Confederate General John Bell Hood, his former student at West Point, at the Battle of Nashville.
Thomas had a successful record in the Civil War, but he failed to achieve the historical acclaim of some of his contemporaries, such as Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman. He developed a reputation as a slow, deliberate general who shunned self-promotion and who turned down advancements in position when he did not think they were justified. After the war, he did not write memoirs to advance his legacy. He also had an uncomfortable personal relationship with Grant, which served him poorly as Grant advanced in rank and eventually to the Presidency.

SUMMARY
=======
The Spanish conquest of Yucatán was the campaign undertaken by the Spanish conquistadores against the Late Postclassic Maya states and polities in the Yucatán Peninsula, a vast limestone plain covering south-eastern Mexico, northern Guatemala, and all of Belize. The Spanish conquest of the Yucatán Peninsula was hindered by its politically fragmented state. The Spanish engaged in a strategy of concentrating native populations in newly founded colonial towns. Native resistance to the new nucleated settlements took the form of the flight into inaccessible regions such as the forest or joining neighbouring Maya groups that had not yet submitted to the Spanish. Among the Maya, ambush was a favoured tactic. Spanish weaponry included broadswords, rapiers, lances, pikes, halberds, crossbows, matchlocks and light artillery. Maya warriors fought with flint-tipped spears, bows and arrows and stones, and wore padded cotton armour to protect themselves. The Spanish introduced a number of Old World diseases previously unknown in the Americas, initiating devastating plagues that swept through the native populations.
The first encounter with the Yucatec Maya may have occurred in 1502, when the fourth voyage of Christopher Columbus came across a large trading canoe off Honduras. In 1511, Spanish survivors of the shipwrecked caravel called Santa María de la Barca sought refuge among native groups along the eastern coast of the peninsula. Hernán Cortés made contact with two survivors, Gerónimo de Aguilar and Gonzalo Guerrero, six years later. In 1517, Francisco Hernández de Córdoba made landfall on the tip of the peninsula. His expedition continued along the coast and suffered heavy losses in a pitched battle at Champotón, forcing a retreat to Cuba. Juan de Grijalva explored the coast in 1518, and heard tales of the wealthy Aztec Empire further west. As a result of these rumours, Hernán Cortés set sail with another fleet. From Cozumel he continued around the peninsula to Tabasco where he fought a battle at Potonchán; from there Cortés continued onward to conquer the Aztec Empire. In 1524, Cortés led a sizeable expedition to Honduras, cutting across southern Campeche, and through Petén in what is now northern Guatemala. In 1527 Francisco de Montejo set sail from Spain with a small fleet. He left garrisons on the east coast, and subjugated the northeast of the peninsula. Montejo then returned to the east to find his garrisons had almost been eliminated; he used a supply ship to explore southwards before looping back around the entire peninsula to central Mexico. Montejo pacified Tabasco with the aid of his son, also named Francisco de Montejo.
In 1531 the Spanish moved their base of operations to Campeche, where they repulsed a significant Maya attack. After this battle, the Spanish founded a town at Chichen Itza in the north. Montejo carved up the province amongst his soldiers. In mid-1533 the local Maya rebelled and laid siege to the small Spanish garrison, which was forced to flee. Towards the end of 1534, or the beginning of 1535, the Spanish retreated from Campeche to Veracruz. In 1535, peaceful attempts by the Franciscan Order to incorporate Yucatán into the Spanish Empire failed after a renewed Spanish military presence at Champotón forced the friars out. Champotón was by now the last Spanish outpost in Yucatán, isolated among a hostile population. In 1541–42 the first permanent Spanish town councils in the entire peninsula were founded at Campeche and Mérida. When the powerful lord of Mani converted to the Roman Catholic religion, his submission to Spain and conversion to Christianity encouraged the lords of the western provinces to accept Spanish rule. In late 1546 an alliance of eastern provinces launched an unsuccessful uprising against the Spanish. The eastern Maya were defeated in a single battle, which marked the final conquest of the ...
