UMA CRUZ NA BEIRA DA ESTRADA


Uma cruz na beira da estrada

Por Honório de Medeiros

A cruz de aroeira, carcomida pelo tempo – teria quase oitenta anos, repousa sob uma plataforma de tijolos grosseiros que alguma alma caridosa houve por bem construir à margem da muito antiga estrada do cajueiro, que liga Limoeiro a Mossoró. Originariamente, percebe-se facilmente, a cruz estava plantada diretamente no solo calcário. Hoje inclusive existe uma pequena cavidade por trás da cruz, construída com tijolos, talvez para receber velas. Um pouco à esquerda, uma oiticica centenária zomba da fragilidade humana derramando sua sombra testemunha daquele dia fatídico. Mais além, um denso mar de algarobas, marmeleiros, juremas, mufumos, todos acinzentados pelo pó que o vento quente revolve, dá uma precisa noção do tipo de homem que é capaz de enfrenta-lo: o sertanejo!

Ali estava sepultado um tipo de sertanejo que já não existia mais. Pelo menos nos moldes de antigamente. Um cangaceiro. Menino de Ouro? Alagoano? Dois de Ouro? Az de Ouro? Não é provável que sejam os dois primeiros, por que há relatos de fontes primárias quanto à presença deles em episódios posteriores envolvendo o cangaço. A dúvida é: qual dos dois? Dois de Ouro ou Az de Ouro? Se obedecermos à ciência, que nos manda respeitar o testemunho de quem presenciou os fatos, a tendência é que tenha sido Dois de Ouro.

Naquele dia fatídico, fugindo a passo acelerado de Mossoró, onde perdera Colchete e Jararaca, Lampião carregava consigo, tomado por dores cruciantes, esse cangaceiro que teria sido atingido por uma bala que lhe destruíra o nariz. Lampião já parara em uma casa humilde – esse episódio é por demais conhecido – e obtivera água e sal para lavar o ferimento. Coberto de sangue, com a cabeça envolvida por um lenço sujo, o cangaceiro, entretanto, não conseguia continuar. E, à sombra da oiticica, decidiu morrer. Pediu que lhe matassem – não queria continuar. Após muita discussão um seu companheiro o executou e sepultou em cova rasa.

No entorno da sepultura há muitas pedras – calcário. São pedras milenares. Testemunharam tudo. Pudessem relatar o que viram e ouviram contariam a nós acerca daquele momento tenebroso. Saberíamos, talvez, quem de fato teria sido o cangaceiro executado a pedidos. Diriam a nós um pouco mais acerca desses homens-feras que não temiam a morte, a sede, a fome, caminhadas sem fim por sobre um chão inóspito, debaixo do sol inclemente, fendendo a braçadas a caatinga áspera. Não temiam os inimigos naturais – as volantes, os “macacos”, a resistência, quando havia, dos habitantes do Sertão a quem atacavam. Não temiam a traição permanente dos coiteiros e coronéis com os quais constituíam essa página da história do Brasil recém saído da monarquia. Não temiam nada.

Para esse cangaceiro desconhecido deixamos nossa perplexidade, algumas orações, muitas perguntas não respondidas e uma vela acesa, solitária, com a chama a teimar em sobreviver lutando contra o vento quente do Sertão.

Howdy

I am new to this place. Lots of individuals have added so many good things here. Please accept my little contribution towards community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you need to know how to lose 10 lb in a week, you are probably not searching for a basic diet and work out plan. You can lose weight with a standard diet and exercise plan, Still this takes a lot of time doing intense cardio drills and sticking to a strict diet. Here I will draft the exact steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a week.

1. Stay away from all deep-fried foods for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of Citrus paradisi with breakfast every day. (this accelerates up your metabolism)
3. Eat Up limited portions (stop taking when you are full)
4. If you are taking 3 large a meals a day, take 5-6 smaller meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Do not eat anything after 9pm. When you eat that late your body does not burn off the calories.
6. Get plenty of sleep every night. Not taking plenty sleep causes been proved to be a ranking element to the body putting up excess fat.
7. Utilise a body/colon cleanse for the 7 days. This will get rid of unneeded fat stored close to the stomach area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that makes you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I advice you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those man's/womans who desire to burn fat quickly, avoid alcoholic beverage.
10[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url] A low GI diet is an excellent method of loosing fat quickly.

Finally, realize that all the various bookmakers have their own rules and policies regarding how they settle bets done through arbitrage sports betting when they have such irregular results. As with the advice on pricing, be sure to check the rules of the individual bookmakers before you place your bets.

Another way of identifying the best sports betting odds is to examine the money lines on the various sports books online. The quickest and simplest way to understand how to compute the odds and comprehend how the money line bet works is to take into consideration the amount of money one would have to bet in order to win one hundred dollars. Normally this figure is shown as a negative and a positive with the negative number indicating what one must wager to win x amount of dollars and the positive showing what one would win.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]bets sports[/url]
On the other hand if you were to lose then you would wager twice what your original bet was. According to proponents of the system, this strategy will eventually enable you to win the bets you place and when you win you would recover all your lost bets plus one unit profit against your initial wager.

So, having established that using a good Selection System is an absolute must if you want to make money from sports betting, how does the average Bettor actually go about making his/her betting selections? My research shows me that, in the main (ignoring the extremes), there are generally two approaches taken:

- The more conservative group looks at the "Short Odds" calls, and plays safe by selecting only those matches where they themselves feel very confident about the outcome.

- The more adventurous group analyses the matches and odds on offer, and then makes selections based on their own gut feeling about how the matches will turn out, making sure that the odds match their concept of a "value" bet.

Another issue that you must stay on top of is price fluctuations from the bookmaker. The prices for placing bets do not just change with different bookies but even with the same. You cannot take it for granted that the prices that are quoted in print like the Racing Post will be valid at the time of the event. With sports betting things can change very rapidly so be sure that the price will be honored before placing your bet otherwise this can seriously affect the outcome of your arbitrage sports betting.

One key thing to remember when you are seeking out the best sports betting odds is that the best odds and the best sports bookmaker are not necessarily one and the same.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]betting on sports[/url]
The Martingale System is probably the most famous sports betting system on the planet and actually has nothing to do with choosing the winner of an event but is more concerned with the right odds and money lines. It seems that the gist of the system is that it looks at the statistical probabilities of how many times in a row one may lose and is put into action by placing a bet and then betting again if you win.

The problem is, most people wouldn't know where to begin if they had to devise their own worthwhile Selection System, and those clever enough to be able to do so simply wouldn't have the time to do it (it is an arduous task). In fact, there are only two groups of people who do bother to spend the time and money to do so properly: (i) Bookies and (ii) sports tipsters. However, while you can be 100% sure that all Bookies operate a good Selection System (but they won't share it with you), you can be sure that 99% of so-called expert tipsters don't. The number of tipsters doing a proper job on the Internet can probably be counted on the fingers of just two hands.

Everything about horse betting

Successful horse race wagering takes a degree of skill and research. Unlike most sporting match ups where you have a fifty-fifty chance of winning by random choice, with an average field of 8 horses, the horse player only has a 12.5% chance of winning by chance. Let's put fun into the sport for the casual fan. A two horse match up takes wagering on horse racing back to its earliest and simplest form; "I bet my horse can beat yours!" But there's no need to stop there, horse racing offers a myriad of options for wagering; which horse will be in the lead at each point of call, which jockey or trainer will have the most wins for the day, and how about betting a horse to lose. These are just a few options that come to mind.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]online horses[/url]
The breeding, training and racing of horses in many countries is now a significant economic activity as, to a greater extent, is the gambling industry, which is largely supported by it. Exceptional horses can win millions of dollars and make millions more by providing stud services, such as horse breeding. Good quality race horses for example, is only available from few countries and few breeders this adds a great deal to the national income of the country involved.

The Triple Crown, like so many of our best traditions, wasn't created, it grew into being. During the late 1800's three different tracks created races to test the new crop of three year olds. These three races, the Belmont Stakes, the Preakness and the Kentucky Derby were held in the same year for the first time in 1875. It wasn't until 44 years later that Sir Barton (1919) became the first horse to win all three. The term, Triple Crown, wasn't coined until 1930 when Daily Racing Form's columnist, Charles Hatton, used it while covering Gallant Fox's winning efforts.

[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]bet on the derby[/url]
Barbaro with Edgar Prado on board has won all 6 of his lifetime starts, 4 of his wins in 2006 and all at distances of a mile or more (his first 3 races were on the turf). Barbaro will be the odds on favorite for the Preakness. Gone are the double digit returns when we picked him for the Derby so most of us are left looking for horses to combine him with for the exacta, trifecta and superfecta wagers. Even though we want to see him win, at the probable scant return for a win, one must look to see if there's a horse in the field that can best him.

The second half was a completely different story; the French team started on fire, producing great opportunities. The first came at minute 52 when Lisandro made a 25-yard shot that tested Madrid’s goalkeeper, Iker Casillas. Casillas was clearly starting to feel the pressure produced by the French team. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid website[/url] Real Madrid maintains their fight for the title of the Spanish League after beating Real Zaragoza in an anguishing match, 2-1 this past Saturday. Real Zaragoza, which played the second half with ten players due to the expulsion of the Italian midfielder, Matteo Contini, were close to making a draw. However, a great goal from Kaka at minute 82 gave the Meringues the victory and moved them closer to Barcelona in the top spot by one point. Barcelona also took a victory after beating Xerez 3-1, leading with 87 points.

Minutes later, however, the Argentine Nicolas Young suffered a twist in his right knee, forcing him to retire from the game with seconds left in the first half. With the injury, the half ended at 2-0. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]cristiano ronaldo[/url] Prior to the game, Ronaldo promised that he would return the goals Messi converted on Tuesday for Barcelona, but the Real Madrid player was short one goal.
