Who Is Atalanta?
Who is Atalanta? Atalanta is a character in Greek mythology who was born in Arcadia (a region of Greece) and abandoned by her father after birth and left to fend for herself on a wild hillside. After being raised by a bear, Atalanta was found by hunters and raised with them. Her upbringing gave her a love of hunting which was to last a lifetime.
Who is Atalanta? Her popularity comes from her participation in sporting activities primarily created by
Atlanta Ford , and for, men; as such, she is known as being the first female athlete. There are many different versions telling of Atalanta’s exploits. She is known to have taken part in the Calydonian Boar Hunt despite the opposition of male hunters, and she managed to draw first blood from the boar as well as kill two centaurs that attempted to rape her.
Later in Atalanta’s life, she agreed to marry the man who could beat her in a foot race. Atalanta knew she was the fastest human on earth and that nobody could beat her. However, a man named Hippomenes succeeded, but only after tricking Atalanta by dropping three golden apples, causing her to stop.
Finally, Atalanta met her fate due to one of the most primitive instincts of mankind: lust. She let herself be seduced in the Temple of Zeus by her husband and, in anger, the god Zeus turned them both into lions. In a nutshell, the answer to ‘who is Atalanta?’ is simply that Atalanta was the first female athlete in the world, according to Greek mythology.
Start Your Sturgis 2011 Planning Today
Just because it's 10 degrees and the snow is flying doesn't mean you can't start getting into that Sturgis Spirit today. I love the Sturgis Rally so I always start planning my Sturgis trip in the dead of winter. How about a Christmas gift related to the
Sturgis 2011 Rally for example a Glencoe Campground wrist band is just $150 and who wouldn't love to receive a "ticket to Sturgis" by way of a Glencoe wristband. In winter I start scouring the Sturgis websites like the Full Throttle Saloon, Buffalo Chip and Glencoe to see who is having what concert, who has made improvements etc. To me Sturgis really starts in the winter when I start planning for Sturgis 2011 to make the day I leave for that ride to South Dakota even sweeter. So with that in mind, so much to do so many options to book for camping concerts and lodging what are your plans for Sturgis 2011?

Did You Get Your California Unemployment Extension?
With the unemployment rate continuing to be high in California many unemployed residents are still pursuing more and more extension of their unemployment benefits. While unemployment benefites have been extended in the past the continued recession, additional borrowing and change of the political climate may spell the end for any
California unemployment extension of benefits. If you have been unemployed picking up an extension here and there it would be good to start making plans to take any job that will get you by. Without further unemployment extensions we'll see those who were fairly choosy about what job they take accepting anything that will help pay the bills. This may also eventually help the economy with more people working, even at jobs they hate it will put more money in the economy and slowly but eventually get things moving again. Then those underemployed persons can go find the work they really want to do and perhaps even move up in the organization from which they accepted a lower paying and lower status position.

Love The New Ford Mustang
The 2011 Ford Mustang is slick, I saw it at the
Winder Ford Dealer in Georgia which I think is called Akins Ford. I love how they took the 1960's look of the Mustang and modernized it but kept the traits that let you know this is a monster of a pony car from the muscle car 60's. The Ford Dealer had a ton of Mustangs in stock many colors and a wide array of options so i'd think anyone wanting one of the new Ford Mustangs could find one in the price range they might need.
