01 of 11 Cristiano Ronaldo Must Have Ticked Someone Off Via The New Daily. In 2017, Real Madrid football star (and handsome devil) Cristiano Ronaldo received the incredible honor of having his hometown airport in Madeira, Portugal renamed for him. As part of the renaming ceremony, a bronze bust created by artist Emanuel Santos was unveiled, and it was… startling. As soon as the drape sheet came off the bust, photos captured Ronaldo, Portuguese president Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, and Prime Minister Antonio Costa trying not to laugh at the goofy-looking statue....

Not to mention the tire-track mark that was left for miles. The stripers would spray the road without so much as a single orange cone or flag to tell unwary drivers of the paint-damaging goop that lay on the road, waiting to be spread....

The Eroica Symphony was first performed privately in early August 1804. Two possible performances followed, including one at the Lobkowitz Palace on January 23, 1805 (Maynard Solomon).

Each hole on a golf course is designated as a par 3, par 4 or par 5 (and rarely par 6), with “par” representing the number of strokes that an expert golfer is expected to need to complete play of that hole. So a par-5 hole, for example, is expected to take a great golfer, on average, five strokes to finish....

The concept of winter rules, also known as “preferred lies,” is one of the most misunderstood concepts in golf. These “winter rules” refer to the practice some golf courses adopt when weather causes adverse conditions on the golf course to allow players to pick up, clean off, and replace their balls if they land in a weather-worn spot Also, the attitude of the USGA and R&A, golf’s governing bodies, toward winter rules or preferred lies changed with the publication of the 2004 edition of the Rules of Golf — but were later clarified in the 34 Rules of Golf’s Appendix 1, Part A, Definiton 4b, which states: Adverse conditions, including the poor condition of the course or the existence of mud, are sometimes so general, particularly during winter months, that the Committee may decide to grant relief by temporary Local Rule either to protect the course or to promote fair and pleasant play....

In most cases, the family, including the kids and the dog, will accompany the service member on non-combat-related PCS moves.

Driving a vehicle with over 100,000 miles on it, and determined to keep it going for another 100,000 miles or more?
