History
The village is on the site of the Roman fort of Verterae ("The Forts"), on the northern leg of the Roman-era Watling Street, linking Luguvalium (Carlisle) with Eboracum (York) and points south. The area of the rectangular fort, which once occupied the land to the south of the Swindale Beck, is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument.Brough Castle was built in the 11th century within the northern part of the former fort.
Cumbria
Cumbria (English pronunciation: /ˈkʌmbriə/ KUM-bree-ə; locally [ˈkʊmbɾiə] KUUM-bree-ə) is a non-metropolitan county in North West England. The county and Cumbria County Council, its local authority, came into existence in 1974 after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972. Cumbria's largest settlement and county town is Carlisle and the only other major urban area is Barrow-in-Furness on the south-western tip of the county.
The county of Cumbria consists of six districts (Allerdale, Barrow-in-Furness, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden and South Lakeland), and in 2008 had a population of just under half a million. Cumbria is one of the most sparsely populated counties in the United Kingdom, with 73.4 people per km2 (190/sq mi).
Cumbria, the third-largest ceremonial county in England by area, is bounded to the north by the Scottish council areas of Dumfries and Galloway and Scottish Borders, to the west by the Irish Sea, to the south by Lancashire, to the southeast by North Yorkshire, and to the east by County Durham and Northumberland.
Cumbria (European Parliament constituency)
Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in Great Britain. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.
Created for the 1979 European Parliament elections in 1979, Cumbria was a single-member constituency formed from the grouping of numerous neighbouring British Parliament constituencies.
The constituency saw only one election under the chosen boundaries, with the county of Cumbria and electors in Westminster constituencies as far south as the Fylde coast electing its MEP as one constituency in 1979 only. In subsequent elections, the constituency became the expanded Cumbria and Lancashire North.
Boundaries
Cumbria League
Cumbria League is a competitive league at tier 8 in the English Rugby Union System run by the English Rugby Football Union. In the 2011/2012 season the league contains 10 teams competing for promotion in the N.Lancs/Cumbria League. It is currently the lowest competitive league for Rugby Union in Cumbria, with the Cumbria 2 North & West and Cumbria 2 South & East being run as Merit Leagues by Cumbria RFU but with potential promotion and division between these groups. As of 2011, The Cumbria League has 5 first XV teams (Hawcoat Park, Furness, Millom, Silloth, and Windermere) and 4 second XV teams (Carlisle Crusaders 2nd XV, Kendal 2nd XV, Kirkby Lonsdale 2nd XV and Penrith RFC A). Unlike the majority of other leagues, the Cumbria division includes a number of second/A teams.
Teams in the cumbria league play in both the Cumbria Plate (for the 1st XV clubs) and Cumbria Vase (for the 2nd XV clubs).
2009/2010 Season
Whitehaven were champions of the Cumbria league and were promoted to the N.Lancs/Cumbria league. Millom secured second place but failed in their play off game, losing 32-10 to Didsbury Toc H, so remained in the Cumbria League until the following season.

CORO:
Para mi barrio
Para mi gente de barrio
We gon' take this one to the hood!
Con mucha inspiración Y mucha dedicación
Spanish Harlem, Que es lo que hay?
Para mi barrio Para mi gente de barrio
La Marqueta!
Con mucha inspiración Y mucha dedicación
Bounce way, come on!
Soy yo, la Vieja Guardia, la Guardia Vieja
Y ahora tu que vas a hacer, que traspase la reja?
Estoy libre, seguro y nada me acompleja
Que tengo lírica que bien acribillao' los deja
So comadreja, oye lo que es un bembe
Que unos tienen su tumbao y otros tienen su hache
Pero yo vendo cristo céntrico y verlo a usted
Que no se note a la una y se muera a la tres
Como lo ves ahora vengo con la decisión
De hacerlos presa con mis dientes de tiburón
Con uña de león acechando como un lobo
Con pan del cielo para los que no son bobos
Y a los que se conocen como cocorotes
Que se creen que no hay pistola que los explote
Sopla pote, que pasa si cuando te pillen
Cuando disparen pa' donde ti, contigo se guillen
Por eso estoy avisándote, sigo orientándote
Y hablándote, enseñándote, preparándote
Si te consideras mi enemigo, perdonándote
Es la mejor forma para seguir demostrándote
Que los que ladran mucho como el perro
Son los que siempre preparan a su propio entierro
Después llaman a su mama como los becerros
Pero quien a hierro mata, muere por el hierro
Y esa cara, tanto es lo que te sorprende
Que soy yo quien otra vez a tu nación enciende
Si me tiras con tus letras, tus letras mato
Con to' y tu garabato, hay vico pa' largo rato

Always, mi casa es su casa

I'm up in the lab with the heavy metal
'Cuz we shuttin' down clowns and bochincheros
Nena, pity the fool
'Cuz me and vico-C, from the original school

Caught you off guard when you seen the posters
'Cuz I stay livin' that Vida Toca'

He probao' la coca, la, la droga
También la Metadona, el vino, la rola
Pero ahora son mis hijos, también mi señora
Lo que mi Dios me dio pa' estar como estoy ahora
Podrán criticarme, gritarme, burlarme
También difamarme, velarme, usarme
Podrán dispararme, tirarme, rozarme
Pero jamás esta corona podrán arrancarme
Provocarme en este día es un error enorme
Pues tengo pepa que te inyecta y te va dejar mas que conforme
Pa' que te adorne y te reforme
Pa' cuando huela a pimpín te abochornes de ser un transformer
Para saber de lo mejor que esta en la avenida
Vayan corriendo pa' la tienda y este disco pidan
Si están metío' en veinte líos donde no hay salida
Te recomiendo lo mío, pues lo mío es vida
Ahora escucha lo que viene
Yo canto lo que te conviene no solo lo que te entretiene
Los otros cantan logía
Y no es para criticar pero mejor es mi filosofía
Óyeme Tata, escucha a Maria
Que no hay lírica con mas peso que la mía
Hace tiempo yo te lo decía
Que to' las criticas las mato a sangre fría
Lo repetía y vuelvo con el mismo asunto
Mas vale estar en el hogar que estar en el punto
Pal que le teme al aguacero aquí esta el barrunto
