I appeal to all the thousands of visitors to my blog...averaging 23 in number per day...out of which 19 spend 0.00 minutes on the blog...plz forgive me for not being regular with the blog...! <br />PS: The facts above are real...but am surprised...how can anyone measure the time as 0.00...?? i mean..am sure it takes atleast a second for people to realize that they are in shit...right...? Its like...someone intends to tell me that the time taken from the enter button to the top right button on the window takes less than a second..! Darn...thats depressing...<br /><br />2. Can airlines please come up with a weekly magazine...reading the same thing 8 times a month is no fun..trust me. <br /><br />3. Can vijay mallya please concentrate on improving the food on kingfisher...rather than blasting 11 individuals who have been running 23 km marathons for all their life...for not winning the 100mtr sprint..!<br /><br />4. Can aaj tak please read the business description under which it is listed...! Last I checked it was meant to be a NEWS channel<br /><br />5. and finally...can i please appeal to myself for not writing crap...even if it happens only once a month...<br /><br />Updates - several!<br /><br />1. www.gaadi.com<br />Its launched...plz check it out. We all are proud of it...and believe it is one of the strongest products in the car category in the indian space. and lo behold..within a month of its launch...gaadi.com is already India's No 2 Car website. And I am convinced that we shall be No. 1 by end of the year...!<br /><br />2. Am off to the US for 2 weeks...business trip. Ruchi is accompanying me...on vacation! Will be in NY..(which i hvnt been to...ever) and it shud be a fantastic photo opportunity. I jst believe that the US holds a lot of potential when it comes to portraits...! So lets see how well I do...really excited. Meeting a whole lot of people whom I hvnt for years...yuuhuuuuu<br /><br /><br />So well...i will keep writing...hopefully...and will share my pics soon...! Take care everyone...<br /><br />~a2008/05/update-and-appeal.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ankur)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12909916.post-7749596920095216544Tue, 15 Apr 2008 07:14:00 +00002008-04-15T00:20:21.727-07:00mornings with sundaytravelMornings with Sunday Part 4<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Went to this fantastic place last weekend - Shaheen Bagh.

Yes, the marriage did happen...check out the snaps at </span><a href=" style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">www.picasaweb.google.com/warikoo</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">2. Yes, married life is actually good...and there is nothing to be scared of. However, you should be fine with the fact that there no longer exists the concept of <em>'sleeping on the bed as if you own it'</em> or <em>'i am just going to surf porn for the next 2 hrs cause i got nothing better to do'</em> or <em>'i will only watch NDTV cause that the only channel with a brain'</em> or <em>'no one read my sms - do you get it?'</em></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">3. Yes, I watched Taare Zameen Par and think it yet another confirmation on the phenomenon called Aamir Khan. Needless to say, the movie has and will continue to move a lot of people...including the baby girl in the bus who will grow up to realize that Aamir Khan himself helped her mum change the nappy. Its surely an entry for the Oscars this year and I wont be surprised if karan marries Shahrukh...err...delete delete...the movie wins..!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">4. Yes, life has been crazy ever since we have come back from the honeymoon...both work-wise and personally. After much deliberation we decided to stay with my parents, but not before we had bought everything for the new house. So a distress sale happened...some people got lucky and some people just realized why a distress sale is called so...</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">5. Yes, we have tried to get our marriage registered...but the government still believe that a gazetted officer is required to attest the photo...cause heck...the passport with the snap just isnt enough...! and there are still some people who think citizens will pay 2K to get the certificate done in a day. Did anyone tell them that the certificate is not so much required by the couple than by the government???</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">6. Yes, I did get promoted! which felt great cause I wasnt expecting it. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">7. YES...YES...YES....i am broke after marriage...at one point of time i had exactly 69 bucks in my account...and the only position that should come to your mind reading the figure is bankruptcy and not something else...</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">8. Yes...secondshaadi is doing fantastic....has broken even...and we are right now in profits. TV campaign scheduled to start soon...and our new venture is coming up on feb 2008. watch out for it...</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">9. Yes, I have decided on a few to-dos for this year...get some lessons in photography, go on atleast 3 photo-expeditions, start seriously thinking about quitting work and starting something on my own, get a car for parents, get working on my house and yes...blog atleast 100 posts this year...</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">10. yes...yessss...yessssss...yesssssssssss....ooops..sorry...got busy with something else...</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">enjoy 2008 folks...! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">~a</span>2008/01/alienwan-2008-10-point-yes.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ankur)10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12909916.post-8361743282733411544Thu, 18 Oct 2007 12:41:00 +00

Já há troços inundados e os restantes ou são de difícil acesso, ou só podem ser percorridos com grande risco de vida.<br /> O carris foram arrancados ao longo de 21 kms, embora só os primeiros 16 km vão ficar submersos.<br /> O melhor percurso é ir até Brunheda (ou S. Lourenço, aldeia de Pombal), deixar aí o carro e começar a fazer o percurso descendente, até onde se conseguir. Tendo depois que se fazer o caminho inverso, para voltar ao carro.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Partindo de Brunheda podem ser percorridos, sem grandes perigos, pelo menos 11 km, o que faz 22 kms com o regresso.<br /> Arriscando contornar o túnel da Falcoeira, pode ir-se, na melhor das hipóteses, até ao túnel das Fragas Más, que são 15,3 kms (30,6 km ida e volta).<br /> Esta última hipótese depende do nível que as águas da albufeira já atingiram.<br /> Há acesso à estação de Castanheiro, a pé ou com 4x4, desde a aldeia do Castanheiro e da aldeia de Tralhariz. Estes acessos pode ser usados para percursos diferentes.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Partilhem as fotografias dos percursos connosco.<br /> <br /> Nota: as fotografias são de 19 de junho, agora (31 de julho) o nível das águas deve estar bastante mais elevado.2016/07/informacao-31072016.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (AG)6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922436444649277539.post-6357950003314901041Wed, 18 May 2016 22:48:00 +00002016-05-18T23:52:10.832+01:00NotíciasPercursosTúnel das PresasInformação (18.05.2016)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="; width="400" /></a></div> A última informação recebida dá conta de dois túneis atulhados: Fragas Más II (5,7 km) e Falcoeira (9,2 km).

Serão cerca de 20 km no total, com a vantagem de terminar no mesmo local (onde possivelmente se deixou a viatura).<br /> Já fiz o percurso partindo de perto da aldeia de Paradela e descendo à linha junto da Ponte de Paradela, continuando para montante.

Lourenço (ao 16.ºKm). Desistir em Tralhariz, Castanheiro ou Tralhão obrigaria a uma íngreme e longa caminhada até se ter acesso a uma estrada.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="; width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <span style="color: red;">- Há algum taxista que possa ser contactado em caso de emergência?</span><br /> &nbsp;O serviço de táxi da Linha do Tua pode ser contactado através do n.º 917534718. Normalmente, existem 2 serviços, um pela manhã e outro ao final do dia.<br /> Número de outros táxis (Carrazeda de Ansiães) 278 617351 / 964054167 / 966796765.<br /> <br /> <span style="color: red;">- Qual é o troço da Linha mais bonito?</span><br /> Gostos não se discutem. A linha é muito diferente desde Foz-Tua a Mirandela e depende muito das estações do ano e do estado do tempo. Pela paisagem única, recomendo a parte que se calcula que venha a ficar submersa Fiolhal – S. Lourenço (16km). Para Caminhadas mais curtas, Brunheda- Abreiro (9 Km) ou mesmo Abreiro-Ribeirinha (3,5 km).<br /> <br /> <span style="color: red;">- Quais os cuidados a ter nas caminhadas?</span><br /> Caminhar em locais isolados de difícil acesso deve ser feito de forma muito cautelosa e nunca por pessoas isoladas. Não são necessárias lanternas para passar os túneis, e as pontes e viadutos são de pouca altitude (mas mesmo assim há pessoas que sentem fobia). O maior perigo é o de entorse ou queda. Caminhar sobre a gavinha não é muito agradável e fazê-lo sobre as travessas também não. As travessas quando molhadas tornam-se muito escorregadias. São aconselhadas botas fortes e confortáveis. Em tempo quente é necessário transportar muita água. Os poucos pontos de água existentes vão-se perdendo e é melhor nem contar com eles.2015/11/respostas-algumas-questoes.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (AG)0Foz Tua, 5140, Portugal41.2075965 -7.419600700000046315.685562000000001 -48.728194700000046 66.729631 33.888993299999953tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922436444649277539.post-8485697837403046700Sun, 15 Nov 2015 01:34:00 +00002015-11-15T01:34:16.202+00:00AmieiroCastanheiroGeocachingPercursosa[LINHA]s?!? Também é TUA! Take II & Last! 2/2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="; width="400" /></a></div> No dia 23 de março a concentração aconteceu em <b>Brunheda</b>. Muitos automóveis foram deixados em Fiolhal, final da caminhada, e os seus ocupantes transportados para <b>Brunheda </b>pelo autocarro da Câmara de Carrazeda de Ansiães, que colaborou no evento.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Juntaram-se os participantes do <a href="; target="_blank">dia anterior </a>e muitos mais que chegaram de manhã bem cedo. Curiosamente o grupo era bastante jovem, com muitos casais ou grupos de vários jovens, animados para conhecerem a <b>Linha do Tua</b>. A minha convicção é a de que o <i>Geocaching </i>era apenas uma desculpa, pretendiam mesmo conhecer esta Linha, única, ameaçada de desaparecimento.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Houve um compasso de espera em <b>Brunheda </b>no sentido de juntar o grupo, mas pequenos grupos foram começando a descer a Linha, cada um mantendo a sua própria velocidade. Mesmo assim consegui contar mais de 130 pessoas, que partiram perto das 10 da manhã.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Embora o grupo fosse grande, rapidamente se dispersou e acabei a caminhar praticamente sozinho. Não havia mal nenhum nisso, eu até prefiro caminhar sozinho quando quero fotografar, mas as condições atmosféricas também não eram as melhores. Por várias vezes a chuva apareceu e houve sempre alguma neblina.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> &nbsp;Embora a justificação da caminhada fosse procurar e encontrar <i>caches </i>seria impensável mais de uma centena de pessoas procurarem o mesmo. Alguns mais animados faziam o trabalho, mas todos tinham o proveito, ou seja, poderiam registar as <i>caches </i>como encontradas. Há perto de 20 caixinhas escondidas, só entre <b>Brunheda </b>e <b>Foz-Tua</b> mas em toda a extensão da <b>Linha do Tua</b> há muito mais.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Ao longo da caminhada muita gente passou por mim. Não tinha pressa e sabia que a parte final da caminhada, a subida para <b>Fiolhal </b>ia ser dura e muitos dos que seguiam à minha frente ficariam para trás.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Fomos passando as estações e apeadeiros um a um: <b>Tralhão</b>, <b>S. Lourenço</b>, <b>Santa Luzia</b> e <b>Castanheiro</b>. Foi neste local que decidimos fazer uma pausa para retemperar energias para o resto da caminhada. Não se chegou a juntar um grande grupo, quando uns chegavam, outros já estavam de partida. A refeição era ligeira e a distancia a percorrer era considerável.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> &nbsp;Uma das coisas que desaponta as pessoas que fazem esta caminhada na linha pela primeira vez é a necessidade de se ter que olhar constantemente para as travessas, escolhendo o lugar para pousar o pé. Principalmente quando as travessas estão molhadas o risco de escorregar é muito. Acaba por ser cansativo ajustar o passo à distancia entre travessas, que é muito curta, e não poder admirar a paisagem como gostariam.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="; width="298" /></a></div> Tirando poucas e curtas excepções, o melhor lugar para caminhar é o centro da linha. Caminhar sobre a gravilha seria ainda mais cansativo. Procurar um espaço paralelo à linha só é possível de onde em onde e, mesmo assim, com perigo acrescido devido aos precipícios. Por isso é impossível fazer este percurso em BTT.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Nos últimos quilómetros tive a companhia dos amigos do grupo <b><a href="; target="_blank">GeoRibatejo</a></b>, animados, como sempre.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> &nbsp;Ao quilómetro três é preciso deixar a Linha e empreender uma subida íngreme até <b>Fiolhal</b>.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Tal como previa a dificuldade foi muita para alguns elementos do grupo. Após uma caminhada de 20 km não é fácil enfrentar tamanho desnível. As obras da barragem são bem visíveis, bem como a destruição causada a montante do paredão.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Aos poucos foram chegando todos ao centro da aldeia de Fiolhal. Todos nós tínhamos um bilhete que tivemos que colar no <a href="; target="_blank">livro do Evento</a>.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Enquanto assinávamos esse livro ainda houve tempo para troca de códigos de <i>Geocoins</i>, <i>TravelBugs </i>e outras brincadeiras típicas dos praticantes dos <i>Geocaching</i>. Foi curioso verificar que existem em bonecos, mochilas, automóveis e até alguns tatuados no próprio corpo!<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Este conjunto de dois dias a caminhar na Linha trouxe à região algumas centenas de pessoas durante dois dias. As condições atmosféricas não foram as melhores o que estragou um pouco a festa, na noite de 22 para 23 de março, mas os visitantes ficaram com boa impressão e certamente voltarão. Os praticantes deste desporto (<i>Geocaching</i>) gostam de desafios e foi isso que lhe foi proporcionado.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Mais uma vez tudo isto se ficou a dever essencialmente ao esforço de uma pessoa, <b>Jorge Pinto</b>, a residente em Mirandela, mas um profundo conhecedor da região. Para ele o meu muito obrigado. Já mostrou a Linha do Tua e o Vale do Tua a várias centenas de pessoas.<br /> <br /> Ver também<br /> <a href="; target="_blank">a[LINHA]s?!? Também é TUA!

Depois de ter havido uma actividade ligada ao Geocaching que juntou perto de uma centena de pessoas, eis que se repete a actividade e a adesão de pessoas vindas dos mais distantes pontos do país ultrapassam todas as expectativas.<br /> A actividade aconteceu nos dias 21 e 22 de março, com o nome de&nbsp;<b>a[LINHA]s?!? Também é TUA! Take II &amp; Last!</b><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Foram planeados dois percursos na Linha do Tua: um para o dia 21, que integrou uma viagem de metro entre Mirandela e Cachão e outra para o dia 22, entre Brunheda e Fiolhal. Entre elas, estava prevista uma noite animada no Centro de Formação de Escuteiros de Carrazeda de Ansiães, onde os participantes pernoitaram.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Fui dos primeiros a chegar a Mirandela, mas aos poucos foi-se juntando um bom grupo de pessoas. A plataforma nacional de <i>Geocaching </i>permitiu os contactos, as "inscrições", a organização do alojamento e os contactos necessários para a organização do evento. À frente de toda organização esteve mais uma vez Jorge Pinto, dinâmico, cheio de ideias, com uma força anímica capaz de arrastar um grande grupo de praticantes de <i>Geocaching </i>a este cantinho do Nordeste e à Linha do Tua.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Foram distribuídos alguns brindes, no compasso de espera, e aproveitámos também para tirar alguns códigos dos objectos, coisas de praticantes de Geocaching...<br /> A primeira etapa seria Mirandela - Brunheda, mas, tal como se veio a verificar, as pessoas pouparam-se para o dia 22 e foram poucos os que arriscaram caminhar alguma coisa.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Saímos de Mirandela em direção ao Cachão na automotora do Metro de Mirandela, num serviço especial. Não deixa de ser curioso a organização ter conseguido um serviço especial, uma vez que quando havia bastantes pessoas a percorrer a Linha do Tua e tentei conseguir um serviço assim para um grande grupo de pessoas e só deparei com dificuldades.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Cerca de 60 pessoas viagem até ao Cachão. A viagem durou pouco tempo, mesmo a velocidade baixa.. Houve uma pausa para um café, no café Cardoso e organizou-se um grupo (pequeno), interessado em fazer mais alguns quilómetros a pé. Estava convencido que o grupo seria maior, mas partimos em direção a Vilarinho das Azenhas, menos de 10 pessoas. A maioria dos caminhantes pertencia ao grupo <a href="; target="_blank">GeoRibatejo</a>, pessoas animadas, conversadores e bons caminheiros.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Foi triste verificar que já havia centenas de metros de linha sem carris, tinham sido roubados. Fomos encontrando algumas caches pelo caminho e sem pressas chegámos perto do Vilarinho. Para meu espanto tiraram um garrafa de vinho rosé da mochila e "festejamos".<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Não havia espaço para o aborrecimento e seguimos viagem para a Ribeirinha e depois para Abreiro, onde chegámos perto das duas da tarde.<br /> &nbsp;A minha vontade era de caminhar até Brunheda, mas ficaria sem transporte, pelo que aproveitei a boleia e regressei a Mirandela com o resto de grupo, na carrinha que os foi buscar.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Havia planos para uma grande festa à noite. O Centro de Formação de Escuteiros em Carrazeda de Ansiães tem óptimas condições para acampar ou acantonar com estruturas mais do que suficientes para as necessidades. Mas, nem tudo corre como o previsto.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="; width="400" /></a></div> O <b>Centro de Formação</b> estava ocupado com o <b>Agrupamento 658</b>, com festejos de alguma importância que obrigava os escuteiros e pernoitarem no acampamento. Para "ajudar" começou a chover com muita intensidade, não permitindo acampar, confeccionar a refeição e proporcionar boas condições para um bom convívio.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="; width="400" /></a></div> Aproveitei para acompanhar os escuteiros na <a href="; target="_blank">Velada 2015</a> e optei por ir dormir a casa, uma vez que não estava muito distante.<br /> &nbsp;Não sei como se conseguiu acomodar tanta gente, mas no dia seguinte ninguém faltou à chamada. Bem dormidos, ou mal dormidos, compareceram em <b>Brunheda</b> para a segunda etapa.<br /> Agradeço aos escuteiros na pessoa dos seus chefes que me receberam tão bem que inclusivé me deram de jantar.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="; width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> Ver também<br /> <a href="; target="_blank">a[LINHA]s?!?

Também é TUA!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="266" width="400" /></a></div> Já há bastante tempo que não reporto uma caminhada pela <b>Linha do Tua</b>, mas isso não significa que elas não tenham acontecido. Apenas me tornei mais preguiçoso na escrita e deixei-me seduzir pela popularidade e facilidade do <b>Facebook</b>. A<b> Linha é Tua</b> também já está presente nesta plataforma. Faça <b>Gosto </b>na <a href="; target="_blank">página</a>.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="170" width="400" /></a></div> Continua &nbsp;a haver muita gente com vontade de percorrer a <b>Linha do Tua</b>, por isso não admira que no mês de março se tenha juntado um grupo de mais de 80 pessoas para fazerem o percurso entre <b>Brunheda </b>e <b>Fiolhal</b>, conhecendo a linha e procurando as misteriosas "caixinhas" que fazem parte do <b>Geocaching</b>.<br /> Aderi a este passatempo/desporto há relativamente pouco tempo, mas, tratando-se de uma aventura na linha do Tua não podia faltar.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="307" width="400" /></a></div> A organização do evento decorreu no <b>Facebook </b>e na plataforma oficial de <a href="; target="_blank">Geocaching </a>conseguindo juntar pessoas vindas dos mais dispersos pontos do país. Nós, os transmontanos, estávamos em minoria!<br /> A concentração aconteceu em <b>Fiolhal</b>, mas eu desloquei-me directamente para <b>Brunheda</b>. Quando lá cheguei, pouco depois das sete da manhã, já havia pessoas junto à estação, esperando o resto do grupo para dar início à caminhada. Esse início ainda demorou bastante. Os participantes foram transportados de autocarro de <b>Fiolhal </b>a <b>Brunheda</b>. O transporte foi feito com um autocarro do município de <b>Carrazeda de Ansiães</b>, que efectuou duas viagens, obrigando a algum tempo de espera.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="298" width="400" /></a></div> Junto à estação de <b>Brunheda </b>há duas caches, que foram feitas nesse intervalo de tempo. Foram-se cumprimentando os amigos, registando os códigos dos <b><i>Travel Bug</i></b> e <b><i>Geocoins</i></b>. Este desporto tem características muito próprias, uma filosofia muito interessante e algumas práticas com as quais não concordo, mas a verdade é que há cada vez mais praticantes e proporciona momentos e viagens verdadeiramente interessantes.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="298" width="400" /></a></div> Só perto das 10:30 o grupo estava preparado para partir. Os representantes da autarquia de Carrazeda agradeceram a visita ao concelho (mas não me fizeram esquecer as suas responsabilidades no encerramento da Linha do Tua), distribuíram alguns panfletos e uma maçã a cada participante.<br /> A caminhada era longa, com um final bastante difícil que é a distância da Linha à aldeia de <b>Fiolhal</b>. Ninguém tinha pressa e diria mesmo que alguns não tinham mesmo nenhuma pressa, porque partiram muito devagar como se não houvesse à volta de 20 km para percorrer.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0

He will occasionally bark out instructions from his bench seat or visit with a player after his boss takes him out of the game. Doc Sadler is Iowa State’s Fred Hoiberg’s go-to-guy. If Hoiberg is Iowa State’s Batman, Sandler becomes Robin. </div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Hoiberg knows how fortunate Iowa State is to have Sadler on the payroll. Sadler was the head coach at two Division I stops—Nebraska and UTEP (Texas –El Paso). Sadler knows all about the rigors of being a head coach in the pressure cooker of college basketball. </div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>College basketball coaches have egos. But it takes a sure lesson in humility when a head coach falls to the assistant line. Sadler seems okay with it.

We’ll see. There has been much talk this college basketball season about coaching behavior on the sidelines. I did read in an article however that coach’s technical fouls are actually down over a year ago. But maybe coach’s antics are up causing the added attention. Both coaches and referees are at fault for this matter, but it’s largely the coaches’ problem. I understand isolated events, but when a coach has repeated bad sideline behavior, it’s a problem. One solution is to have the athletic director sit the coach down and have a little talk on the behavior problem. Another solution is placing restrictions on coaches’ access to the referees. Does the coach really require moving up and down the sidelines like a rooster ‘working’ the officials for calls? That answer: is no. Does the coach really need to yell instructions to players from the coaching box? No. He could sit on the bench and holler. Now for the referees and what they can do. Referees need to quit socializing with players and coaches before the game. I understand they want a good working relationship with the participants, but they are there to do a job not win friends. College basketball is a great game. But this problem detracts from it. 2014/03/coach-basketball-coaches-and-referees.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-7416797820689293890Fri, 10 May 2013 21:33:00 +00002013-05-10T14:33:05.861-07:001990 National ChampionshipBill McCartneyCollege Football Hall of FameColoradoGodLes MilesLSUNebraskaPromise KeepersBill McCartney: Great Coach, Great ManI was thrilled this week to learn that former Colorado football coach Bill McCartney has been election to the College Football Honor of Fame<br /> <br /> Coach Mac and I have been long time friends.<br /> <br /> McCartney has the most wins of any coach in Colorado football history. He led the Buffaloes to the 1990 National Championship.<br /> <br /> He created excitement in the old Big 8 Conference. Nebraska was the kingpin in those days and McCartney’s teams often rose above the kingpin. <br /> <br /> Two things described McCartney the coach: recruiting and motivation. He consistently recruited black athletes to come to the Boulder school and it resulted in a pile of victories. He was a master motivator. The guy could get players to buy into the team concept. And he preached accountability.<br /> <br /> Coach Mac left the sidelines 20 years ago. Like most successful coaches, he developed a head coaching tree. LSU’s Les Miles is the most noticeable of that group.<br /> <br /> But McCartney was more than a successful coach. He helped found the Christian men’s movement Promise Keepers. If you ever heard the guy speak at an event, McCartney reminded one of a fiery preacher who had a real message.<br /> <br /> Coach Mac was and is a man of conviction. And a man of God. Those two attributes are rare these days. <br /> <br /> 2013/05/bill-mccartney-great-coach-great-man.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-6700674129919295233Sat, 13 Apr 2013 18:40:00 +00002013-04-13T11:41:03.760-07:00All About College Sportsblog commentsBobby Petrinocollege basketballcollege footballDave Dilesspring cleaningUnited StatesVanderbilt Basketball CourtVanderbilt UniversityAll About College Sports: Spring CleaningIn this part of the world there is an annual ritual this time of year: spring cleaning. But in parts of the United States, it doesn’t even feel like spring. Cold, rain and snow are making the weather news.<br /> <br /> But it’s time to perform a spring cleaning of my blog “All About College Sports.” College football and college basketball produce the most interest of any college sports and those playing seasons are over. Consequently, I will limit my blog posts considerably in the next few months. From time-to-time, I will see write blogs on the “hot news” items, but it’s time for a break.<br /> <br /> I have been doing this blog since 2008. It’s been an opportunity to produce fresh content for my readers based on the wonderful world of college sports. I consider myself a college sports junkie. It’s fun following the sports and the personalities. Sometimes I take winning and losing a little too seriously but that’s part of being a fan, I guess.<br /> <br /> Early in the basketball season, I questioned whether I wanted to continue this blog. There are tons of sports voices out there seeking to be read. Mine frankly is pretty small. But, I guess that’s okay.<br /> <br /> I would enjoy hearing from my readers as I wrestle with my decision. What do you enjoy about my blog? What don’t you enjoy? What kinds of things should I write about? It would be great if you flood my blog with comments. I will read all of the comments. <br /> <br /> Numbers are sometimes interesting. According to the numbers, the best read blog has been in a landside “Bobby Petrino’s family. That was an extremely sad story. Interestingly, No. 2 is “Vanderbilt’s Basketball Court.” The set-up is unique and so cool with the benches behind the baskets. Another surprise is No. 5 with “Dave Diles-College Football Scoreboard.” Like me, you folks must have keen memories of Diles reading those scores each Saturday.<br /> <br /> If you haven’t had an opportunity to read those blogs, I invite you to take a peak.<br /> <br /> Thank you for your faithful readership. Again, I would enjoy hearing from you in the comments.<br /> <br /> Best, Paul<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2013/04/all-about-college-sportsspring-cleaning.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-4361916702983003596Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:20:00 +00002013-04-09T09:20:14.669-07:00college basketballLouisvilleMarch MadnessMichiganNBA DraftNCAA basketball tournamentNCAA Basketball: It's Over<br /> The college basketball men’s season is officially over and I don’t know if I’m happy or sad.<br /> <br /> Louisville took the title last night (Monday) defeating Michigan in an entertaining game. Michigan became the 67th and final team to become disappointed in the NCAA tournament.<br /> <br /> College basketball is a long season. Someone said once that college basketball coaches have a sense of humor (as opposed to the football coaches) because of the season length. Without humor, the coaches probably wouldn’t survive.<br /> <br /> But frankly, the season isn’t really over just the games. Basketball is a 12-month sport now with the 24-hour news cycle fueling it. One of the next phases are more players declaring for the NBA Draft. And already one guy’s Top 25 for next season came out today. Please…<br /> <br /> I have seen enough basketball. It’s time to rest my eyes and enjoy another season. That would be baseball.<br /> <br /> 2013/04/ncaa-basketball-its-over.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-5967624799825332230Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:04:00 +00002013-04-05T13:04:36.439-07:00Baylor Universitycollege basketballCory JeffersonIowa HawkeyesMadison Square GardenNBANITNCAA Basketball: This Guy was Major Iowa PainOutside of Iowa and Baylor fans, limited interest was generated by the NIT Final. Only about 5,000 people were in attendance at Madison Square Garden and who know how few watched the game on ESPN.<br /> <br /> But going into last night’s (Thursday) game, this figured to be an interesting game. These two squads had only met once before.<br /> <br /> I thought Iowa would win the game. The Hawks were on a roll and seemed too powerful for the Bears. Baylor had an up-and-down year and I didn’t know what team Baylor would display in the contest.<br /> <br /> But wow, it was blowout city for Baylor.<br /> <br /> Hawkeye players will have bad memories of one particular Baylor player—Cory Jefferson. In no disrespect to the Thanksgiving meal, Jefferson carved Iowa up. The guy was impressive. He scored 23 points on too many dunks. He rebounded, he played defense.<br /> <br /> Jefferson, a junior, had a great year. He played sparely in his previous two years and even took a redshirt year in his sophomore year. Jefferson played behind three future NBA players, so it wasn’t like the guy had major minute opportunities. He could have transferred but he stayed and collected the fruits this year.<br /> <br /> Baylor fans hope he returns for his senior season. His pro stock definitely went up during Baylor’s postseason. Iowa players would agree with that. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2013/04/ncaa-basketball-this-guy-was-major-iowa.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-6124682131909792619Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:13:00 +00002013-04-04T08:13:24.518-07:00college basketballFlorida InternationalLouisvilleMinnesota GophersNCAA college basketballRich PitinoRick PitinoTubby SmithNCAA Basketball: Strange Coaching HireSometimes I just shake my head at my neighbors in Minnesota.<br /> <br /> After the University of Minnesota fired basketball coach Tubby Smith, the Gophers needed to make an impressive hire. But apparently nobody wanted the job. I do know the rumor that one of the student managers even turned down the job isn’t true.<br /> <br /> The Gophers welcome Rich Pitino to the job. Yes, Pitino is the son of the famous Louisville coach Rick Pitino. Yes, the guy has good blood lines but can he mold a so-so Big Ten contender into something better. <br /> <br /> Kid Pitino had one successful season at Florida International. He will be doing on the job training in one of the toughest basketball leagues in America. Remember, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State isn’t Florida International. <br /> <br /> Minnesota took forever to make their selection. As the process played out, you knew others were making their selection not to take the Gopher job.<br /> <br /> If you are Kid Pitino there is little risk. If you are Minnesota, there is great risk.<br /> <br /> The Gophers haven’t exactly been making waves in the money sports of football and basketball lately. This hire may continue the tread.<br /> <br /> 2013/04/ncaa-basketball-strange-coaching-hire.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-87157782906412399Tue, 02 Apr 2013 16:18:00 +00002013-04-02T09:18:04.533-07:00college basketballFinal FourGregg MarshallLouisvilleMichiganNCAA basketball tournamentShockersSyracuse OrangemenWichita StateNCAA Basketball Tournament: Thank-You Wichita State<br /> It’s great that Wichita State earned a trip to the Final Four. The Shockers appearance will draw one tall fellow to the television set.<br /> <br /> We need new blood in the championship round and as a ninth-seed the Shockers provide it. As their nickname represents, they have shocked many people in still standing in the tournament.<br /> <br /> Many people picked their semi-final opponent Louisville to win the championship. But the Shockers shouldn’t be frightened as they have already taken out the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in their regions. Louisville should win, but should wins are only decided on paper. Wichita State needs to “play angry” as its coach Gregg Marshall says and it will be in the game.<br /> <br /> Syracuse and Michigan play in the other game. Yawn. These teams like Louisville have been in this spot consistently and it doesn’t draw much interest for the tall fellow.<br /> <br /> Hopefully, the Shockers can shock again and appear in the Monday night championship game. Then the tall fellow will need to watch, otherwise not so much. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2013/04/ncaa-basketball-tournament-thank-you.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-7780361395873383041Sat, 30 Mar 2013 20:31:00 +00002013-03-30T13:33:26.932-07:00college basketballIowa HawkeyesJohn WoodenMissouri State BearsNCAA basketball tournamentNew MexicoSteve AlfordUCLASteve Alford: UCLA And IowaSteve Alford is an interesting hire at UCLA. He had some solid success at New Mexico, but will the former Indiana star be able to “step it up” and find success in Los Angeles<br /> <br /> People in my state (Iowa) are always interested in Alford. He coached the Iowa Hawkeyes for a number of years. The honeymoon started well when Iowa landed him off a Sweet 16 performance at then Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State). He won a Big Ten Tournament Championship at Iowa but also loss an NCAA tournament game to No. 14 seeded Northwestern State. When New Mexico offered Alford its coaching job, many Iowa fans were happy to see Alford leave.<br /> <br /> UCLA is counting on Alford to continue his success from New Mexico. Alford has proven he can win consistently on the mid-major level, but the power conference job success is still up for debate.<br /> <br /> It seems a good risk for UCLA. However, Alford knows the guy he is replacing brought UCLA to two Final Fours. The learning curve won’t be long. And then there is always the John Wooden factor. The most successful NCAA Division I coach in history raised the bar extremely high at UCLA.<br /> <br />2013/03/steve-alford-and-ucla.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-4024193487143662068Fri, 29 Mar 2013 20:30:00 +00002013-03-29T13:30:36.263-07:00college basketballFred HoibergIowa State CyclonesMinnesota GophersNBANCAA basketball tournamentThe MayorIowa State's Fred Hoiberg Has More CapitalIt’s a fun time of the college basketball year with the NCAA tournament and the coaching rumors and destination.<br /> <br /> One guy who isn’t going anyway is Iowa State’s men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg. “The Mayor” agreed to a contact extension Thursday night that with give him 10 years and $20 million. Not bad loot for the former Iowa State ball boy.<br /> <br /> I didn’t think Hoiberg would leave Iowa State at this time but there were plenty of rumors out there. There was talk about the NBA and lately the opening at Minnesota. Hoiberg allegedly met with the Gophers about their opening. What took place and the level of Hoiberg’s interest is anybody’s guess. <br /> <br /> Successful coaches are a hot commodity. Some go shopping and then find a sweeter deal at their present place of employment. This happens frequently. I’m not saying Hoiberg did this but he was the beneficiary of the media speculation. Hoiberg received a nice raise.<br /> <br /> I believe him when he says he loves Iowa State. And the Iowa State administration decided it would tell the basketball world that they love Fred Hoiberg. <br /> <br /> This marriage is going well in Ames, Iowa. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2013/03/iowa-states-fred-hoiberg-has-more.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-2258900168771383955Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:44:00 +00002013-03-27T07:44:40.830-07:00Andy EnfieldCinderellacollege basketballFloridaFlorida Gulf CoastNCAA basketball tournamentNCAA men's basketball tournamentSweet 16NCAA Basketball Tournament: Florida Gulf Coast<br /> <br /> We all enjoy Cinderella in the NCAA basketball tournament. This year we have the ultimate Cinderella in Florida Gulf Coast. <br /> <br /> A No. 15 seed has never advanced to the Sweet 16 in the history of the NCAA tournament until Florida Gulf Coast crashed the party.<br /> <br /> This team didn’t follow the NCAA script. Usually underdogs surprise the favorite in their opening game. The underdog received national praise and talk and then goes quietly in the next round.<br /> <br /> But will this feel-good story end Friday when the Gulf boys play big-bad Florida? You would like to see them continue the magic but with the strength of their opponent and natural pressure (as the stakes get higher) the odds are not in their favor.<br /> <br /> The beauty is that the game will be decided between a couple of baskets and not in discussion groups.<br /> <br /> Win or loss, Florida Gulf Coast Coach Andy Enfield will become a hot commodity. What big time program will want this guy and will he go? You would think the answer to the second question is “Yes.” <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2013/03/ncaa-basketball-tournament-florida-gulf.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Paul Delger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367724293310249373.post-2104308538363557339Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:50:00 +00002013-03-25T08:50:30.281-07:00Aaron CraftIowa State CyclonesMarch MadnessNCAA basketball tournamentOhio StateSweet 16NCAA Basketball Tournament: March is CruelIowa State found out Sunday, March can become a cruel time.<br /> <br /> The Cyclones were one play away from forcing overtime against Ohio State. They were maybe 1-2 plays from snatching the victory. Buckeye point guard Aaron Craft took care of all those possibilities when he drilled a three-pointer with less than one second remaining.<br /> <br /> The Cyclones were done. Finished. Over. It was time to turn to the “What ifs.”<br /> <br /> Iowa State entered the game as a real underdog to No. 2 seeded Ohio State. Cyclone fans knew their team had an excellent change however for an upset. Mid-way through the second half, it looked like Ohio State was going to deliver the knockout punch. The Buckeyes held a double digit lead, but then Iowa State marched back to set up a thrilling, but painful finish for Cyclo
