Best John Levique Pirate Days- 2012 John's Pass Village, Maderia Beach, Florida Pirate Girls
John's Pass History...John Levique,
In the early history of the United States, it is sometimes
difficult to separate fact from fiction. There are a few
things we do know and a few things that may be true, or
may have been embroidered into the fabric of history
by the vivid imaginations and creative tongues of
storytellers.
The tale of John Levique is one of those stories.
Legend says that John was a French peasant who found
employment as a cabin boy on a Spanish sailing vessel
some time around 1836. Unfortunately for the young
man, the ship on which he sailed was taken by pirates.
John was given the choice of death or joining the pirate
crew. He chose a pirate's life. Apparently a man of some
ability, he worked his way up through the pirate ranks,
until he became captain of his own ship.
But Lavique had an unusual quirk for a pirate. He did not
like to kill people. Most pirates in those days held to the
credo Dead Men tell no Tales, and either murdered
those they captured or held them for ransom. Levique
refused to do either of those things. This habit did not
endear him to his crew, as it seemed to limit the amount
of treasure they gathered.
John himself had managed to accumulate one small chest
of gold. He buried this on an island off the West Coast of
Florida. When he decided to retire from piracy and
become a simple turtle farmer, he staked a land claim near
the site of his treasure.
In 1848, Levique and his partner Joseph Silva, a Spaniard,
decided to take a load of turtles to New Orleans. They
were paid well for their cargo, and spent a few days
partying in Louisiana. When they finally headed for
Florida, they encountered a huge storm. So they dropped
into a safe harbor to wait it out.
When they finally arrived home, they found the shoreline
quiet different then when they left. The island where
Levique had buried his treasure had been cut in two by
the gale force winds and high waters of the storm. And
the cut was right at the spot where he had buried his
treasure!
Levique sailed their boat through the new pass and into
Boca Ciega Bay, and the new pass was thereafter known
as John's Pass.
Or at least so goes the legend. We do know that at least some of it is true.
Lavique was definitely a Frenchman. He was also uneducated. There are several variations on the
spelling of his name in the historical record. He himself had no idea how to spell his name and always
signed with an X.
He arrived in this area around 1840, staked a land claim, and began turtle farming. Had he ever really
been a pirate? Was there a chest of treasure buried on the island that would later become Madeira
Beach? There is no proof one way or the other.
It is true that he was returning from New Orleans with Joseph Silva when they encountered the Great
Gale of 1848. It is also true that the Gale cut the island in half. And most historians agree that John's
Pass is named for the mysterious Monsieur Levique.
He remained in the area as a simple farmer until his death in 1873.
Until the early part of the 20th Century, the area around John's Pass was mainly undeveloped. There
were no bridges from the mainland to the barrier islands, so only a few hardy souls ventured here to hunt
and fish, or to spend a quiet day by the beach.
However, as railroads were built throughout Florida and bridges were built to these islands, more and
more people came. Many came just for the fishing, but many came and stayed. John's Pass became
part of a quaint fishing community.
In 1976, Captain Wilson Hubbard moved his fishing business from Pass-A-Grille to John's Pass. In
1979 he built The Friendly Fisherman Restaurant. He also convinced the city of Madeira Beach to
permit the building of a public boardwalk along the pass in 1980, and was instrumental in the
development of John's Pass Village.
Currently, John's Pass Village and Boardwalk is home to quaint shops, exceptional casual restaurants,
and several types of boating activities. Not your run of the mill tourist mall, John's Pass continues to
offer unique and quality merchandise, as we as excellent food, and fascinating entertainment.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
After their plane crashes over the ocean, Louis (Jack O'Connell), Phil (Domhnall Gleeson), and Mac (Finn Wittrock) board a raft and attempt to survive on the open sea.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Angelina Jolie directs this true-life tale of Louis Zamperini, the Olympic track star who survived a plane crash in World War II, only to fight for his life against nature and eventually as a prisoner of war. Joel and Ethan Coen provide the script. Louis (Jack O'Connell) grows up a rough-hewn kid on the verge of becoming a full-on delinquent, until his brother starts training him to be a track star. Louis excels at the sport, and eventually represents America at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. During his training, he learns to become resilient and disciplined; his brother's words of advice, If you can take it, you can make it, push him to overcome any adversity. He must live up to that adage under the most extreme circumstances after his plane is shot down during another bombing raid. He is stranded at sea for more than a month, only to be found by the Japanese and forced to endure constant physical abuse at the hands of sadistic prison-camp guard Mutsuhiro Watanabe (Japanese pop star Miyavi), who wants to break Louis' indomitable spirit.

SUMMARY
=======
While Great Britain was at war with Spain in 1740, Commodore George Anson led a squadron of eight ships on a mission to disrupt or capture Spain's Pacific possessions. Returning to Britain in 1744 by way of China and thus completing a circumnavigation, the voyage was notable for the capture of an Acapulco galleon but also horrific losses to disease with only 188 men of the original 1,854 surviving.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano | Audiobook with Subtitles
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, written in 1789, is the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano. It discusses his time spent in slavery, serving primarily on galleys, documents his attempts at becoming an independent man through his study of the Bible, and his eventual success in gaining his own freedom and in business thereafter.
The book contains an interesting discussion of slavery in West Africa and illustrates how the experience differs from the dehumanising slavery of the Americas. The Intereresting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano is also one of the first widely read slave narratives. It was generally reviewed favorably. (Wikipedia)
This work was produced to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain.

Words at War: Combined Operations / They Call It Pacific / The Last Days of Sevastopol
The Siege of Sevastopol took place on the Eastern Front of the Second World War. The campaign was fought by the Axis powers of Germany, Romania and Italy against the Soviet Union for control of Sevastopol, a port in Crimea on the Black Sea. On 22 June 1941 the Axis invaded the Soviet Union under Operation Barbarossa. The Axis land forces reached Crimea in the autumn, 1941, and overran the area. The only objective not in Axis hands was Sevastopol. Several attempts were made to secure the city in October and November 1941. A major attack was planned for late November, but bad weather and heavy rains delayed the Axis attack until 17 December 1941. Under the command of Erich von Manstein, the Axis forces were unable to capture Sevastopol in the first stage of operations. The Soviets launched an amphibious landing on the Crimean peninsula at Kerch in December 1941, to relieve the siege and force the Axis to divert forces to defend their gains. The operation saved Sevastopol for the time being, but the landing was checked and repulsed in May 1942.
At Sevastopol the Axis opted to conduct a siege until the summer, 1942, at which point they attacked the encircled Soviet forces by land, sea and air. On 2 June 1942, the Axis began their operation, codenamed Störfang (Sturgeon Catch). The Soviet Red Army and Black Sea Fleet held out for weeks under intense Axis bombardment. The German Air Force (Luftwaffe) played a vital part in the siege. The Luftwaffe made up for a shortage of Axis artillery, providing highly effective aerial bombardment in support of the ground forces. Finally, on the 4 July 1942, the remaining Soviet forces surrendered and the Axis seized the port. Both sides had suffered considerable losses during the siege.
With the Soviet forces neutralised, the Axis refocused their attention on the major summer campaign of that year, Operation Blue and the advance to the Caucasus oil fields.
Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
