UA Gaillac
Union Athlétique Gaillac is a French rugby union club currently competing in the Fédérale 3 league, the third level of the French amateur league system, after having been forcibly relegated from the second level of the French professional league due to serious financial problems. The club, founded in 1901, is based in the small town of Gaillac, in southwestern France, in the département of Tarn, some 70 km northeast of Toulouse. They play their home games at Stade Laborie-Bernard Laporte, which was inaugurated in 1909. Their current coach is Alain Gaillard.
History
The club was founded as Stade Gaillacois and was only the third rugby union club in Tarn. In 1905, it became Stade Athlétique Gaillacois and in 1910 Union Sportive Gaillacoise. In 1940, the French rugby federation cancelled the championship and the club was forced out of business, but a new club was founded, Union Athlétique Gaillacoise, with rugby, football, boxing, tennis, athletics, swimming and volleyball sections. In 1948, the club associated with the local train workers and became Union Athlétique des Cheminots (Railwaymen) de Gaillac. In 1950, the club reverted to its former name.
Gaillac
Gaillac (French pronunciation: [ɡajak]; Occitan: Galhac) is a commune in the Tarn department in southern France.
Geography of Gaillac
Gaillac is a town situated between Toulouse, Albi and Montauban. It has gained much recognition due to the wines that bear the town's name. The Tarn river runs along the border of the town by the south, east and west. It lies 50 km north-east of Toulouse. It is a market town and is the commercial centre of the north-west of Tarn.
The local wine of Gaillac, first made almost two thousand years ago, is of two official appellations (AOC). The terroir is made up of clay, limestone, sand and silex soils. Gaillac receives more sunshine than Bordeaux and is graced by a cool maritime climate. Duras is the name both of the grape that is native to this area and of an AOC and town just northwest of the two "Gaillac" designations.
History of Gaillac
The town was founded in the second century CE by the Gauls who created a river port where they exported their wine into Gallia Narbonensis. When Aquitane was conquered by Rome, Gaillac gained prosperity with its wine. However, the barbarian invasions annihilated the town and left nothing behind. It was only when the monks of Saint-Michel gained viticulture privileges from the Bishop of Albi, in 972, that the population stabilized and Gaillac started to become a town again. Their wines were at first sent to Bordeaux where they would be exported to England. The Abbey of St. Michel was constructed in the 10th century and rebuilt in 1271. In 1524 the abbey was secularized but the title of abbey retained.
Gaillac AOC
Gaillac AOC is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) in South West France in the département of Tarn, just north of Toulouse.
History
The region makes claims to be among the earliest viticultural centres of ancient Gaul, though possibly after those of Languedoc around Narbonne, with wine production established in early 1st century.Roman merchants transported wine to Bordeaux and Northern Europe down the Tarn River, and vineyards soon followed in the valley. Archaeologists have found Roman pottery in Montans.
The town of Gaillac grew up around a Benedictine monastery in the Middle Ages. As elsewhere, vineyards flourished in the care of the monks, who needed wine for religious purposes. In time the Counts of Toulouse gave Gaillac the right to put a rooster on the barrel in recognition of their wine.

Why You Ago Look
by: ChristafariIn the abundance of water the fool is thirsty.
Why do you look for the living among the dead? Why do
You look for the living among the dead? Ignoring what
So many prophets & so many righteous man said. What
They said. Yet you still look for the living among the
Dead.
So tell me what them do.
Mistaking the messenger for his message, mistaking the
Prophet for whom he represents, mistaking the king for
The King of all Kings, mistaking the singer for the
One he sings.
Why do you look for the living among the dead? Why do
You look for the living among the dead?
Mistaking what so many prophets & so many righteous
Man said. What they said. Yet you still look for the
Living among the dead.
A fool is going to thirst in a world full of seas.
What does it take to make a blind man see? A burning
Bush to explode in his face, before he finally sees
The Father's grace.
Why do you look for the living among the dead? Why do
You look for the living among the dead? Your Praising
What so many prophets & so many righteous man said.
What they said. Yet you still look for the living
Among the dead. Tell me what them do?

Why do you look for the living among the dead? Why do
You look for the living among the dead? Praising so
Many prophets & so many men who are dead. They're now
Dead. Yet you still look for the living among the
Dead. So tell me what them do...
A fool is going to thirst, roll away roll away. A fool
Is going to thirst roll away stone. A fool is going to
Thirst roll away roll away. A fool is going to thirst
