Hi. If i may correct you, it's "apa kabar" instead of "apa kabah". the phrase means "how are you ".
But anyway, great articles on parts of Indonesia that I haven't even been to. Inspiring!

Why so considering this is a pretty remote and sleepy part of Indonesia? Well, the 4th Alor Expo is happening right now so the population has swelled and a bunch of band and club music has been added to the standard muslim call to prayer yodelling, techno bemo driveby's and general traffic bedlam assaulting the senses. For some reason on the morning after our arrival, a lady was singing (quite well actually) over loudspeakers across the anchorage at 4am, dance music started at 6, then the school band rehearsed really poorly on what sounded like amplified xylophones for a couple of hours around 9. It continued throughout the day and now that it's approaching midnight the local ferry has chimed in with massive blasts from it's foghorn, and a bunch of cafes newly installed near the anchorage are competing to drill pop favourites like Britney Spears into an uncomprehending populace at 140 decibels. Ce la vie.
It's like in order to please us they need to make the most noise possible and no-one knows how to tell them to shut the hell up. (Later note - blissful period of relative silence eventually enjoyed around 7am Saturday morning - these guys know how to party).
Anyway, despite the event coinciding with the rally's visit the real reason we're here is to live some culture and get out of town to see some of the amazing countryside. The town is on the small island of Alor in the Solor-Alor archipelago and is the capital of this 'regency'. It's reached by navigating a narrow 7 mile long fiord-like channel that runs between towering volcanic escarpments on either side. Peak heights range up to 1,500 metres on the island and sea troughs plunge 500 to 1,000 metres in depth a stone's throw from the palm line shoreline. Makes for great diving!
Due to it's mountainous nature some 50 tribes cling to the rugged hillsides on the four inhabited islands the make up the Alor group. Each apparently has it's own dialect and it is not unusual for the more remote tribes to skirmish and war with each other if necessary. The Expo is about bringing the tribes together and introducing them to an unwary world. For an indigenous population they have a remarkably developed ancient culture - the clothing is exquisitely hand made, brutally tribal music is produced on reasonably complex and unique instruments and the traditional dances are amazingly intricate. There are notable similarities with the Australian aborigines but at the risk of sounding politically incorrect it really makes you wonder what the aborigines where doing for 40,000 years when such a sophisticated and tasteful traditional culture developed in parallel up here.
Unfortunately this culture hasn't continued on to bigger and better things. Everything has a dilapidated feel around town, like most places in Asia litter on land and in the water is a major problem. The only road linking the coastal villages is a crumbling goat track that makes motorcycle or bemo traffic uncomfortable if not perilous. That didn't stop us however so Thursday was spent on the south western tip of the island chasing volcanoes and floating about snorkelling. The snorkelling was achieved and great fun because I haven't done it for so long, but the volcano will have to wait as the neighbouring islands with craters (Pantar and Pula) where just too far and the gradient of the climb too steep. Couldn't convince anyone of that so will have to wait for a more accessible mountain to strike that item off the list.
Friday saw us up early to board a traditional boat for some organised diving which was a real treat. I haven't got my dive ticket yet so ended up snorkelling, but the coral and small tropical fish abounding blew everyone's mind. We dived at three locations - The Edge, The Backyard and Mike's Delight - with the first two being the best and apparently on a par with dives on the Great Barrier Reef (from a quick straw poll of half the divers). The only ingredient missing were larger fish and sharks, but the variety and colour of the soft and hard corals and the veritable rainbow of fish (Nemo's and all) has really piqued my interest in getting certified. Oh yeah, that's my snorkel buddy on the right - she piqued other interests too!
Culturally speaking, over the course of our stay the cruising fraternity attended a number of events to watch and participate in native dancing and singing. Apart from the 'on the water' welcome and blessing pictured above, the most memorable for me was when we were hijacked on a beach excursion and taken to visit a couple of local tribes on the relatively inaccessible north west corner of the island. One was a muslim tribe who proudly displayed a number of ancient 'Moko' drums the island is famous for, a 600 year old copy of the Koran and other artefacts from a variety of historical periods right up to Japanese invasion of the island and independence in the 1940s. They were very pleased to show us inside their houses and be part of the photos taken - especially so when they got to see the preview images on the digital camera screens right after the photos were shot.
The second village showed us a number of dances that were sort of a cross between a sumo fight and an aboriginal corroboree but in their distinctive and elaborate traditional dress. We had ringside seats so it wasn't surprising to end up part of the action in a 'friendship dance' finale that is best described as a large spiral of people holding hands and rhythmically swaying and chanting. The circle/spiral tightens as the beat picks up and the crescendo is reached and let me tell you it gets pretty friendly in there. All in all it was a nice way to close out the day. Unfortunately whilst I got some photos they are on camera memory instead of an SD card so until I find a cable you'll just have to guess at the traditional dress.
We're getting prepared to move on to Flores now so will wind it up here. Alor has been a love-hate relationship, but if you ever end up here outside of Expo time, I reckon you would have a great time - especially if a major reason for coming is to dive. Just remember the phrase 'Apa Kabah' (How you doing?) which is the reply to the endless "Hello Mister's" you will be subjected to everywhere you go.
Take it easy.
Freak of the Week
I haven't done memorable person expose for a while so here we go again.
Noen probably has the best job in creation - he's the water sports specialist for the Malaysian Department of Tourism. This means that when Malaysia wants to start a follow on rally (to the Darwin - Bali) to divert cruising yachts to their marinas in Langkawi (from the original target of Phuket, Thailand), he is sent to market this component of the journey, assist the cruisers in any way possible and to get them to commit to participating in the event beyond Bali. The Darwin to Bali rally started with 14 boats apparently, so it looks like he will easily get this number registered to ensure a successful inaugural event.
He has been with us since Darwin, will be at every port we stop at along the way, and has the expense account to cover the three months or so of shmoozing this will take. When he's not promoting this 'Sail Asia' concept, he might be in the US researching wakeboarding, kite surfing or artificial wave technologies, elsewhere in Asia 'reviewing the competition', or organising water-based events within Malaysia - up and down the east or west coasts and anywhere in between. Pretty nice.
What else can I say? He's looks like a buddha and is a friendly and mellow guy who's well educated and well travelled. If I leave the boat in Bali and make my way through the Malay peninsula I hope he can get some time off so I can catch up with him in the Perentian Islands. In the meantime I look forward to more beers with him between here and Bali. Cheers for your assistance mate.
Hi. If i may correct you, it's "apa kabar" instead of "apa kabah". the phrase means "how are you ".
Hai there,am one of the camera man on a boat to Kupang Alor dive..the sail video man.gre8 to meet you again(here)..spectacular diving on Alor....you almost drift cause of the current..cheers

By Sid Salter
STARKVILLE – Nationally, the debate over automatic and semi-automatic weapons has become downright comical.
Some of the responses to my recent column after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn. were predictable. Several readers took me to task for not hewing to the National Rifle Association's specious arguments over the "difference" in automatic and semi-automatic weapons – especially the automatic AK-15 weapon and the semi-automatic .233 Bushmaster weapon that Adam Lanza used in murdering 26 at the school.
Because I support Second Amendment rights, most of the mail was complimentary, but several wanted to "educate" me on the difference in automatic and semi-automatic weaponry. That response came despite the fact that I know the distinction between those types of weapons from years of covering the military and from my own experiences both with weapons for self-defense and for hunting.
One reader emailed that complaint with this instructional paragraph: "The military has modified the fully automatic M-16 to also shoot 3-shot bursts with a single trigger-pull for accuracy and to save ammunition. However, the look-alike AR-15, of which the Bushmaster is only one of several brands, will only shoot 1-pull, 1-shot, making it a true semi-automatic."
Another reader observed: "I believe you are caught up in the media misdefining the weapon and therefore the confusion of the public knowledge about the weapon."
For the record, I see the reaction to the Sandy Hook tragedy for what it is – a prime opportunity for gun control advocates to manipulate the nation's sorrow over the slaughter of innocent children and women to carry the day to pass sweeping gun control laws. Similar efforts took place after the Aurora movie theater massacre.
I oppose gun control efforts because I believe that the notion of citizen soldiers – a militia, if you will – remains part of the checks and balances over the potential rise of tyranny. When our nation becomes too complacent to take up arms in our own defense if that necessity arises, we forsake freedoms that generations of Americans have defended.
But the hair-splitting laws hard won by the NRA and gun manufacturers that lead to these most specious arguments over automatic and semi-automatic weapons don't do the cause of defending the Second Amendment much good.
But a semi-automatic Bushmaster .233 like Lanza used is – in the hands of a skilled shooter – about four seconds slower in discharging 30 rounds of ammunition than is a fully automatic AK-47. So I do not engage in the rather mindless argument about the differences in automatic and semi-automatic weapons of that type.
When the target is a 6-year-old, that four-second distinction isn't relevant and the vast majority of Americans – Second Amendment defenders and otherwise – know that.
The debate shouldn't be over the old automatic vs. semi-automatic definitions that were used to skirt the issue to settle an earlier iteration of the nation's laws regarding so-called "assault weapons." The debate should rightly be about what the intent of the Second Amendment and the inherent dangers of eroding those rights to address the far more complex issue of mass shootings and the mental illnesses that drive them.
The debate should be about whether gun owners are willing to jump through more regulatory hoops in deference to public safety – particularly in reference to obtaining weapons like that used in the Sandy Hook shooting.
But to be sure, the picayunish arguments over the four-second, five-second difference in firing rates on similar automatic and semi-automatic weapons are not going to be part of reaching any real national consensus over these important issues.

Oftentimes our insurance or remote locations force us to seek care from specific providers unless we are willing to pay additional fees for going "out-of-network" – which doesn't always make sense.
Students who are coming back to school often have passion and drive which can go a long way toward fueling academic success.
Why is this subject gathering so much attention from the media? It appears that it has become a debate between the Republicans and the Democrats, when the impact is on all citizens regardless of political affiliation.
Deciding to pursue a bachelor's degree in engineering can be daunting. After all, you can learn how to design, build, and fix complex equipment, systems, or processes. If you think you want to become an engineering student, it helps to know ahead of time what you could face in college.

Well fellas, I've finally finished my first pot call. It's a slate over glass in a walnut pot with a matching one piece striker that I turned last weekend. It has a tru-oil finish on it that's still a little tacky right now, but I couldn't wait any longer to post the pics. The call is nowhere near perfect looking. If you look closely you'll be able to see some small flaws and defects that are from both the wood and my limited skills on a wood lathe. It sounds really nice with great clucks and purrs and plays well either loud or soft. It has that high pitch in a call that I like with nice roll-over. The only thing is I wish it had just a little bit more rasp than it does. I've only played it with my walnut striker though and I plan on using my other strikers to see the different sounds and effects they produce. I have another call that I turned last night that is beautiful. I really took my time with that call and I hope to have pics of it either tonight or tomorrow after I finish gluing it up.
I just want to say thanks to all the call makers out there who have helped me out. I've pestered a lot of people on here with questions and they've all been more than helpful. I just want to thank WillowRidge, Stoner, firelt, Kawboy888, spitndrum and many of the others that have answered questions and helped me out! Enjoy that pics!

Amazing!! 5/28/2012
I loved this movie. I wish that there had been more battle scenes in this movie, but it was still amazing to watch. I was glad to see one of my favorite stories of all time to be told in a historical plausible way and to be staring two of my most favorite actors Russel Crowe and Cate Blanchett. I highly recommend this.

6.5: Mountain Building
How do plate motions create mountains?
Plate tectonic processes create some of the world's most beautiful places. The North Cascades Mountains in Washington State are a continental volcanic arc. The mountains currently host some glaciers and there are many features left by the more abundant ice age glaciers. Changes in altitude make the range a habitable place for many living organisms.
Converging Plates
Converging plates create the world's largest mountain ranges. Each combination of plate types — continent-continent, continent-ocean, and ocean-ocean — creates mountains.
Converging Continental Plates
Two converging continental plates smash upwards to create gigantic mountain ranges (Figure below). Stresses from this uplift cause folds, reverse faults, and thrust faults, which allow the crust to rise upwards. As was stated previously there is currently no mountain range of this type in the western U.S., but we can find one where India is pushing into Eurasia.
(a) The world's highest mountain range, the Himalayas, is growing from the collision between the Indian and the Eurasian plates. (b) The crumpling of the Indian and Eurasian plates of continental crust creates the Himalayas.
Subducting Oceanic Plates
Subduction of oceanic lithosphere at convergent plate boundaries also builds mountain ranges. This happens on continental crust, as in the Andes Mountains(Figure below), or on oceanic crust, as with the Aleutian Islands, which we visited earlier. The Cascades Mountains of the western U.S. are also created this way.
The Andes Mountains are a chain of continental arc volcanoes that build up as the Nazca Plate subducts beneath the South American Plate.
Diverging Plates
Amazingly, even divergence can create mountain ranges. When tensional stresses pull crust apart, it breaks into blocks that slide up and drop down along normal faults. The result is alternating mountains and valleys, known as a basin-and-range (Figure below). In basin-and-range, some blocks are uplifted to form ranges, known as horsts, and some are down-dropped to form basins, known as grabens.
(a) Horsts and grabens. (b) Mountains in Nevada are of classic basin-and-range form. The photographer is in the Nopah Range and is looking across a basin to the Kingston Range beyond.
This is a very quick animation of movement of blocks in a basin-and-range setting: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/animations/animation.php?flash_title=Horst+%26amp%3B+Graben&flash_file=horstandgraben&flash_width=380&flash_height=210.
- Converging or diverging plates cause mountains to grow.
- Subduction of oceanic crust beneath a continental or oceanic plate creates a volcanic arc.
- Tensional forces bring about block faulting, which creates a basin-and-range topography.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. What created the landscape we see today on Earth?
2. What can cause mountains to form?
3. How tall are the Alps?
4. How were the Alps formed?
5. Explain the forces that caused the Alps to form.
1. Describe how plate interactions create mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
2. Diagram how pulling apart continental crust could create mountains and basins. What are the mountains and basins called?
3. How are the Andes Mountains similar to the Aleutian Islands? How are they different?

Firefighter Falls
Firefighters were battled a large two-alarm fire at a condominium building in Portland, Oregon Wednesday afternoon.
Firefighters attacked the flames from the ground, nearby patios and also from the roof, where they smashed open holes to create vents.
One firefighter fell through the roof while trying to fight the fire.
Two other firefighters could be seen crawling over, peering into the hole, and then giving the "okay" signal.
Fire dispatch radios also indicated the firefighter was okay.
Two firefighters were transported to an area hospital with burns on their knees and heat exhaustion.
A number of other people were being treated outside the apartment building for smoke inhalation.
The heavy smoke could be seen from miles away.
As of 5 p.m., the fire had been contained to one building of the condo complex.
Authorities said three condos had been destroyed and three others were saved, partly due to an interior firewall.

We live in an age of spectacle. From the Olympics to the recently concluded presidential election, from professional sports to so-called reality television, the immediate experience of a finite crowd becomes the intimate experience of an almost-limitless audience as a result of technology.
Terrorists are as comfortable with this reality as any Hollywood producer. They live by it, thrive on it. Images are weapons as real as bullets and bombs. That is why the three-day massacre in Mumbai, India — which most notably unfolded at the Taj Mahal hotel, but also at the luxury Oberoi hotel, an Orthodox Jewish community center, and the city's main railway station, among other targets — is an attack on all who are not one with them.
The psychic horror experienced by the world audience pales, of course, in comparison with the suffering of the families of the more than 170 who were killed and hundreds who were wounded in the Mumbai attack. And the trauma suffered by the hostages and their families and friends — indeed, by all of the residents of the most populous city in the world's second most populous nation — is immeasurably more intense than anything even the most shaken spectator can imagine.
For the terrorist, however, gradations of emotion and varieties of pain are distinctions without any meaningful difference. The dead, the wounded, the maimed, and the traumatized are not people with lives and loves and sorrows and joys. Victims are merely a means to an end. The message is clear and the intended effect is chilling: give us what we want or this will happen to you.
Terrorists operate under many flags. Or, like Al Qaeda, under no flag at all. Spain has its Basque separatists; Ireland had the Irish Republican Army; and the United States, the likes of Timothy McVeigh. The Middle East is afflicted with Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Kurds in Turkey and guerillas in Colombia practice their own version of gangsterism. India, a vast subcontinent as well as a nation, is itself plagued by Hindu fanatics who are committed to killing or driving out their Muslim neighbors.
It is from the ranks of the Muslims, however, that the platoons of the world's most dedicated and active terrorists are drawn. Even if one were to put aside the Middle East, where the current vogue of terror was born — an impossible task in any full-scale discussion of this topic — the record is incontrovertible: December 1988, a bomb destroys a flight over Scotland; February 1993, a bomb explodes in the underground garage in New York's World Trade Center; November 1997, gunmen attack tourists in Egypt; September 2001, two planes level the World Trade Center, a third crashes into the Pentagon, and a fourth — also aimed at Washington — is downed in Pennsylvania after passengers seek to rest control from terrorists; January 2002, Daniel Pearl of the Wall Street Journal is abducted and killed in Pakistan; October 2002, a car bomb destroys a tourist dance club in Bali; March 2004, 10 bombs explode on four trains in Madrid; September 2004, hundreds of children, parents, and teachers die when guerillas storm a school in Chechnya; July 2005, bombs explode on three subway trains and a city bus in London. Add to this catalogue the bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. And now Mumbai.

Here's a delicious do-ahead dessert, a showstopper designed for serving a crowd.
Charlottes are molded desserts. The mold is lined with cake and filled with fruit and custard or cream mixed with gelatin. Charlotte russe, made with ladyfingers and rich Bavarian cream, is served with fruit sauce. In our version, raspberries are combined with the cream filling, and toasted almonds add the final touch.
Chilled charlottes must set for hours in the refrigerator, so they are good do-ahead desserts. Prepare this charlotte up to 12 hours in advance.

Montego Bay has something for everyone!
Je recommanderais
Montego Bay is a great destination for families, single people and couples. The natural allure of the sandy beaches and the heart of the people make is a very enjoyable location for a holiday. I enjoyed the amazing sunsets and natural countryside. Jamaica has lots to offer for nightlife and great restaurants. Scotchie's is a must and definitely makes the best jerk. The weather in June was very agreeable. The skies were blue and the ocean even more blue! I look forward to going back again soon.
Great Destination with very little transfer time to get to your resort.
Je recommanderais
Montego Bay is a wonderful desination. The airport is right along the water in the city so getting to your resort does not have a long transfer time. The weather was great, not too hot, but afternoon showers came and went quickly. The beaches are nice and there are a lot of awesome resorts to stay at. I would love to go back one day soon.
Never a dull moment!
Je recommanderais
Montego Bay is a busy and engaging city. Scotchie's serves up delicious jerk dishes in a very casual atmosphere. Gloucester Ave is known as The Hip Strip and nightlife includes Margaritaville & Pier 9. The weather was warm and wonderful, if a bit overcast, which was welcoming with short showers. On my next trip my agenda will include excursions to the Luminous Lagoon and The White Witch's Rose Hall. Although I don't golf, the courses we passed looked incredible!
I would highly recommend visiting Jamaica.
Je recommanderais
Jamaica offers something for everyone. The people are welcoming and the local food is fantastic. I would recommend climbing Dunn's River Falls and visiting some of the local hotspots.
No worries Mon!
Je recommanderais
An eclectic mix of amazing food, rich culture and beautiful beaches. This diverse island boasts numerous hotels catered to a variety of guests seeking a simple, tranquil, romantic getaway or families and couples looking for a more upbeat and livelier stay. Guests will enjoy numerous activities throughout the island and luckily it experiences year round warm climate and sunshine. Travelers can enjoy staying at many properties throughout Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Kingston. Popular choices include The Iberostar Grand Hotel Rose all, Couples Tower Island and the Jamaica Pegasus centrally located in the Heart of Kingston known to be a business and financial sector. Among the highly recommended activities would be the world famous Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios as well as the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston. Other activities to partake in will be the amazing selection of local restaurants such as Scotchies Jerk Centre known to be one of the best restaurants in Kingston's offering jerk chicken, beef and pork. Notoriously known for its amazing food and sauce this is a MUST see and eat for food lovers and travelers alike. If the lively entertainment in Kingston is not your scene then travelers can enjoy other more relaxed activities such as hiking, golfing, bird watching, shopping, and beaches. Jamaica will offer a one of kind memorable laid back vacation filled with Rastafarian music to soothe your soul, beautiful beaches to relax in and delicious fusion inspired dining.
A beautiful and vibrant country so full of energy and culture.
Je recommanderais
I was amazed at the beauty of the beaches and the scenery around. The culture was amazing and the Jamaicans were very friendly. The culture was very vibrant and the drive to Ocho Rios was beautiful and so full of natural beauty. I cannot wait to go back!
Relaxing place to hang out
Je recommanderais
The weather was good, the night life was fun, the beaches are hit and miss. There are a few good excursions like Dunns River Falls, but it's a good place to kick back and chill by the pool.
Great place.
Je recommanderais
Good area to visit. Weather was good during our visit. Had some great tours of the surrounding area. Only draw back was the fact that we were advised not to go shopping where the local people go, too bad as I feel it always gives an extra insight to the local culture. I would go back once I run out of other places to visit that I have not been to as yet.
Montego Bay, Jamaica - no other destination can't compare
Je recommanderais
Montego Bay is by far the best. I always go there on vacation and I always travel via westjet! There were so many places to go and so little time. I hope to return for a month vacation in the near future so that I can take in the sun and other amazing locations. The weather was wonderful, coming from Toronto in which we spend about 6mnths, or more it feels like, in hard cold winter, it was fun to enjoy the heat on the beach. I would go back every month if I could. The Jamaican people are friendly and inviting and they dont mind sharing stories (duppy/ghost) and talk about Jamaica's wonderful and rich history. Thank you Jamaica!
Would definately go back!
Je recommanderais
Montego Bay was awesome! Great water, good beaches, awesome weather! Would definately go back!
Resort can be very nice; love the weather.
Je recommanderais
We stayed at Rose Hall Beach hotel and loved it. we will go bask to this hotel again - in the off season as the rates are more reasonable.
Jamaica is a friendly, relaxing country to visit!
Je recommanderais
My husband and I traveled to Jamaica for the first time in October. It happened to be the week that Hurrican Sandy went through Jamaica. The people working at the resort were extrememly friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and the food was delicious! The nightly shows were entertaining, often starting with a cultural performance and ending with an audience participation game. Outside the resort, the Montego Bay nightlife was fantastic! The clubs and bars were filled with enthusiastic staff and service was impeccable. We spent a day touring Negril, spending a few hours on the beach and then visiting Rick's for a cliff diving adventure and supper. The rafting tour was relaxing and we learned about the history and the culture of the area. This trip was well woth the money and we will go back!
Runaway Bay is great if you are looking to relax in the sun!
Je recommanderais
We stayed at Runaway Bay and it was fine. The hotel was good but the beach was not the best. It was very relaxing sitting by the pool and the weather was good. I am planning to go back to Jamaica but stay in Montego Bay.
Montego Bay is a must see place in this lifetime.
Je recommanderais
We recently got married on 12/12/12. We had 55 guests from all over North America join us down there. We could not of asked for a more perfect week. We left Calgary and it was -20 degrees outside. The entire week we were in Montego Bay it was +30 degrees at least. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather and could not of asked for a better week to be away from Canada. Montego Bay is a beautiful place in Jamaica and the best part is that its only about 15 mins to most resorts right from the airport. No long drives to get to your resort. It was very relaxing and fun sine our resort had a lazy river and water-park right by the pool bar to enjoy. The beach was also nice to relax on. Great food and restaurants. Staff and service was excellent. The people in Montego Bay are very friendly and easy to understand since English is the official language on the island. I would definitely go back and have now been to Montego Bay twice in 3 years. For the service, weather, and price this destination is at or near the top. Food was also amazing I must add. Been to Mexico and Cuba and both are not even close to Montego Bay.
When you go you will know
Je recommanderais
Awesome in all categories.
Great place to vacation
Je recommanderais
We spent our honeymoon at a resort in Montego Bay. The weather was beautiful the whole time we were there. There was always a nice breeze coming off the ocean to combat the heat and the humidity was not as bad as I expected. The airport was easy to get in and out of. We can't wait to go back!
Great beach, friendly people
Je recommanderais
We stayed just outside Montego Bay in Rose Hall. The beach and water were great. The weather was beautiful. It rained a couple of times but conveniently only when we did not need/want to be outside. The worst day was our last day when it was sunny but pretty windy. I would definately go back.
Montego Bay is a happy romantic get away. This was our third time to Jamaica. First time we went to Dunn Falls ( Don't miss it).
Je recommanderais
Montego Bay was very relaxing and stress free holiday. Only four hours away. Flight attendendants were great and made a happy start to the holiday and good end to vacation. Weather was sunny with some cloud. The clouds and rain do not last long. Temperatures were very comfortable for December. We would go back without another thought. Just loved it. Need more time next time to explore.
Nice country and great people.
Je recommanderais
Very relaxing, good facilities and excellent hard working courteous people.
Great airline to fly with and great airport to pass through.
Je recommanderais
This was an arrival and departure point after and before an excellent flight with Westjet. The reception immigration and Jamaican customs people were efficient and welcoming. We would definitely recommend the Mobay VIP Departurwe experience as it included the $28.00 departure/exit fee and for just $2.00 more we got expedited service through customs and access to the Mobay lounge where we enjoyed beverages and food at no additional cost.

The Truth Behind Nutrition Folklore
Do you eat carrots because they are good for your eyes, avoid chocolate because it makes you break out, or not let your kids eat sugar because it will make them hyper? Unfortunately, when stacked up against medical facts, many of these beliefs are misperceptions. Test your knowledge of nutrition folklore by answering the questions below.
Do Eggs Raise Your Cholesterol Levels?
Although egg yolks contain cholesterol (about 184 milligrams [mg]), many scientists think that eating foods high in saturated fats and trans-fats has a greater impact than dietary cholesterol in raising blood cholesterol levels. Still, the daily recommended limit for people with normal cholesterol levels is 300 mg per day. This means that if you eat one egg, the rest of your day's diet needs to be very low in cholesterol.
Eggs are a source of high quality protein and provide many vitamins and minerals, including the amino acid tryptophan, selenium, vitamin A, iodine, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin B12, vitamin D, among other nutrients.
A study from the University of Washington has found that eating 2 eggs daily may lead to a small but significant increase in LDL, also known as bad cholesterol. Other studies suggest that people vary quite significantly in how much effect egg consumption has on their cholesterol levels. If you have high cholesterol or are at risk for developing it, talk to your doctor about your diet and whether you should limit how many eggs you eat. Remember, too, that you can always just eat the eggs whites, which have protein but no cholesterol.
Does Eating Chocolate or Other Sugary Foods Give You Acne?
There is no scientific evidence that eating any food, including chocolate or other sugary foods, leads to acne. Acne results from a combination of factors such as heredity, overactive oil glands, dead skin cells that block skin pores, and hormonal changes. However, some new research has been done that suggest that nutrition-related lifestyle factors may play a role in the development of acne. Specifically, a low glycemic index diet has been associated in one study with improvement of acne. However, more research is needed to clarify this.
Will Carrots Improve Your Vision?
It is true that carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for sight, and an extreme vitamin A deficiency can cause blindness. But, only a small amount of beta-carotene is necessary for good vision. So, if you are not deficient in vitamin A, your vision will not improve no matter how many carrots you eat. Nonetheless, carrots are a great contribution to your recommended fruits and veggie intake!
Does Sugar Make You Hyper?
Many studies have looked at the effect of sugar on children's behavior and none have found evidence of a sugar high, even in children who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Keep in mind, however, that there are healthy and unhealthy sources of sugar. Natural sources of sugar, like fruit, add other important nutrients to your child's diet. This is not the case when sugar is added to foods like candy and soda.
Does Eating Chicken Noodle Soup Help You Get Over a Cold?
Researchers have not been able to prove that chicken noodle soup can cure the common cold, but they have developed theories to explain the apparent healing properties of this popular home remedy. Some believe that steam from the hot soup clears congested noses and throats. Others believe that it may have inherent anti-inflammatory effects, thereby providing symptom relief. Still others say it is purely psychological. In any case, there is no known cure for the common cold. If you're sick, what you need to do is drink fluids and get plenty of rest.
Will Eating Carbohydrates Make You Gain Weight?
Low-carbohydrate diets are popular these days, but the truth of the matter is that carbohydrate foods are an important source of energy, fiber, vitamins, and minerals for your body. Carbohydrates, like any other type of food, can cause you to gain weight if you burn fewer calories than you consume. So, if you want to lose weight, do so by eating less of any type of food, exercising more, or doing a little of both. Most adults should get about 45%-65% of their calories from carbohydrates. Under special circumstances, your doctor or nutritionist may advise you to follow a specific diet in which the carbohydrate content might be different.
Are Nuts Fattening?
Yes, nuts are fattening, if you eat too many. But, eaten in moderation, nuts can be a healthy addition to your diet. Studies have found that tree nuts, such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts, added to a healthy diet may help to reduce the risk of heart disease and improve cholesterol levels. Plus, having a serving of nuts provides nutrients like protein and the mineral manganese.
Will Eating Extra Protein Build More Muscle?
Weight training is the key to building and strengthening muscle. The only way to build bigger, stronger muscles is to exercise them. To fuel heavy weight training, the body needs extra calories, especially from carbohydrates. If you eat excessive amounts of protein, the extra calories will simply be stored as fat or burned. According to MyPlate, most adults need 5 to 6-½ ounces (142-184 grams) of protein per day, but this really depends on a number of factors like your gender, age, and activity level. If you are participating in a weight training routine, you may want to work with a nutritionist to make sure that you are getting the nutrients that you need.
Is Red Meat Bad For You?
Red meat, which includes beef, veal, lamb, pork, and wild game, contains saturated fat. But, it also provides an excellent source of the minerals iron and zinc, vitamin B12, and protein. A review of 17 studies found that processed meat, not red meat, increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. And, compared to lean white meat, lean red meat does not seem to worsen cholesterol levels.
If you trim visible fat and choose lean cuts, you will minimize your saturated fat intake. Note, too, the select grade of meat is lower in fat than choice and prime grades. Also, be aware that a serving size is just 2-3 ounces (56-85 grams) of cooked meat. Also, you may want to choose meat that comes from organic farms, where the animals are allowed to graze and use of hormones or antibiotics is minimized.
Are Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Better for You Than Canned or Frozen?
Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious and fresh. In fact, fruits and vegetables sitting on grocery store shelves or in your refrigerator often lose some of their vitamins to heat, light, and water. Frozen produce tends to keep most of its nutrients because packaging occurs right after being picked. Canned produce loses some vitamins during the heating process, but still contains fiber and other nutrients. But, bear in mind, canned vegetables are high in sodium, and canned fruits packed in syrup are high in sugar.

Glitz, giving, and Roaring 20's-inspired glamour earmarked the 8th annual Fur Ball, benefiting our furry friends at Pet Helpers. Pin stripe-sporting mobsters, newsboys, and flappers waltzed their way up to the Marriott Crystal Ballroom, where they mugged for a photo booth before heading in to mingle and bid in the silent auction.
Fringe and boa-wearing ladies and their vintage-styled counterparts sipped on punch from jars while nibbling spring rolls in plum sauce while eyeing each other's costumes. And what a collection of costumes! Partygoers brought out the big guns, literally, with several gentlemen toting plastic 1920's gangster weapons to go with their oversized hats and zoot suits, while women showcased hats, strands of pearls, cigarette holders, and feathered headbands.
Everyone dressed to the nines, and nearly everyone in large crowd took the theme to heart while selecting their wardrobe for the evening. Though the space was a bit tight during the cocktail hour, the doors to the ballroom soon swung open to invite partygoers in to dinner. Guests entered through a curtain of floor length tinsel to find tables bedecked with giant feathered plumes.
Revelers wandered the room looking for their tables, but many found themselves drawn to the dance floor, where 1920's-styled Dance FX dancers flitted about. The jovial group beamed at partygoers while doing the Charleston, and as the crowd settled down, the dancers performed a beautiful ballet piece.
Then Pet Helpers' board member Hank Greer welcomed guests, a "record number of 370 attendees", and relayed some interesting facts: not only has Pet Helpers seen an 30% increase of incoming surrendered and rescued pets, their medical expenses have increased by 50%. Despite these obstacles, Pet Helpers has had more pets adopted in the last year than in the previous 18 months. Greer ended his welcome and kicked off the live auction with the words, "Thank you for all you do for us and continue to do for us, and what you can do now is open your pocketbooks and give."
Pet Helpers (founded 1976) is a local non-profit organization dedicated to ending the euthanasia of all adoptable cats and dogs by housing animals until adopted, providing low cost spay/neuter surgeries, pursuing animal cruelty prosecution, and initiating animal welfare legislation.

Luca Carlevarijs was the first to create vedutismo — topographical view painting — in 18th-century Venice. After painting many landscapes in his youth, he published a collection of 104 engravings in 1703 entitled Fabriche e Vedute di Venetia , the result of an intense scientific survey and his first foray into this new genre, which had hitherto been ignored by Venetian painters. From then on, he started producing a large collection of scenes of the city, first portraying the solemn entrances of foreign ambassadors who came to present their credentials to the Venetian government. He then went on to make countless pictures of the daily life of Venice, focusing mainly on Piazza San Marco, always crowded with a colourful crowd of traders, visitors, porters and working-class women.

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...en_tv_eo/13914The WB has always smelled like teen spirit thanks to Smallville, Gilmore Girls and Angel. Now the Frog is really going grunge, developing a TV movie about the life and death of Kurt Cobain.
The biopic will be based on Charles Cross' unauthorized 2001 book Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain, which was purchased by the WB. The network has tapped Robert Munic (They Call Me Sir) to pen the script.
"For our viewers this is the perfect project, and it's a great great story," says Tana Nugent Jamieson, senior VP of longform original programming at the WB. "I really see it as a cautionary tale."
News of the project comes on the heels of the 10th anniversary of the Nirvana singer's suicide on April 5, 1994 at the age of 27.
The story will follow Cobain's life, from his turbulent youth in the logging town of Aberdeen, Washington, to his emergence as the lead singer and guitarist for Nirvana, the band that put "grunge" in the rock lexicon in 1991 with the release of its breakthrough album, Nevermind, and the moshpit anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
The teleflick will also chronicle Cobain's struggles with stardom, his battles with depression and heroin addiction, and his rocky marriage to Courtney Love, then just the obscure singer of a little-known punk-rock outfit called Hole.
As for his gory suicide--Cobain blew his head off with a shotgun at his Seattle home after recovering from an overdose--Jamieson says it will likely be one of the final scenes and will be handled delicately.
Noting the darker details of the musician's life, Jamieson said the network is thinking about tagging a public service announcement at the end of the film urging those suffering from depression to get help (That's probably a good idea, since in the days following Cobain's death, some of his own troubled fans followed suit).
The network has yet to announce a director or who would play Kurt and Courtney in the project.
But to connect with the WB's young audience and reach ratings nirvana, Munic tells the Hollywood Reporter that he'd like to write an edgy movie that won't be "your traditional biopic."
"The storytelling will have a nonlinear style, flashing to different parts of his life out of chronological order," the screenwriter says in the trade paper.
Jamieson says that what will end up on the small screen will be the unified vision of both the WB and the writer.
If all goes as planned, expect the Cobain biopic to premiere on the WB sometime next season.
His influence continues!

By ALEXIS SWERDLOFF
Designers are predicting an unseasonably warm fall, with vibrant flower prints blooming on everything from hot pants to cocktail dresses.
If one believes that shorter hemlines directly correspond to a booming economy, what then might the prevalence of flower prints in the fall collections indicate? Widespread Seasonal Affective Disorder? Global warming?
"In these austere times, there's a need for optimism and that can often be communicated through florals," said Simon Collins, dean of the School of Fashion at Parsons The New School for Design. And although wearing blooms and buds—traditionally reserved for the resort and spring seasons—is considered a fashion faux pas by the no-white-after-Labor-Day camp, flowers popped up in every variety on the runways at Gucci, Miu Miu, Jil Sander and others. "Given fashion's multicontinental distribution, it's always sunny somewhere in the world—so the old rules about when and where just don't seem to apply anymore," Mr. Collins said. "Also, if you're feeling rosy in December, then why shouldn't you wear them?"
The centerpiece of Alber Elbaz's moody runway show was an oak tree covered in Spanish moss. Adding to the dark but Southern-belle-ish mood were party frocks emblazoned with large English roses set against black satin and cotton.
Designer Riccardo Tisci's fall collection is an eclectic mishmash of '50s fetish, wildlife and Hawaiian luau. Leis made out of irises surrounded, in some cases, images of pin-up girls (Mr. Tisci was taken with a series of photos of Bettie Page shot in Hawaii). There were also purple pansy prints and panther-head motifs.
A pattern of wildflowers—daisies, gerbera and calendula—is the focal point Raf Simons's collection, inspired by a swatch from the legendary French fabric house Bucol. Meant to recall feminine mid-century couture, the duchesse silk florals were created using warp printing—a weaving style developed in Lyon in the early 19th century wherein the print is integrated into the weaving process, creating a blurred effect.
"I feel like no matter what the season," Chris Benz said, "there is always a place for floral." For his fall collection, the young designer sprinkled powdery petals—which he describes as "almost like potpourri"—across his crinkle chiffon gowns.
The fall collection of designers Sonia Yoon and Benjamin Channing Clyburn was inspired by the idea of a gothic wedding. The large roses strewn across pants and dresses were meant "to symbolize eternal love," said Ms. Yoon who was married this past May. They created the roses, she explained, "to look as if they were melting, to permeate with a feeling of sadness and tears of joy." Ms. Yoon and Mr. Clyburn were so taken with their dripping roses, that they also used them on the show's invitation.
Based on the overarching theme of modern glamour, Miuccia Prada's fall collection featured '40s-inspired frocks adorned with delicate, floating bouquets of daisies, lilies of the valley and dandelions, all embroidered with glimmering sequins.
As Gucci's 90th anniversary show came to an end, designer Frida Giannini sent out a final flourish of bright scarlet, blue, purple and yellow fabric flowers on boleros, dresses and blouses. The blooms—made from organza petals, chiffon and habotai silk—were hand-painted, hand-cut and individually applied.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
The Debate at Fool's Hollow
Have you ever been desperate for attention from a turkey? Sure you have. Like me, you've probably glassed wide pastures until your eyes ached and your binoculars felt like an anvil. You've likely sat stock still at a dead setup, certain that you're hearing faint drumming from an unseen — and ultimately imagined — strutter. And you've no doubt hit a call and then listened in vain for the tail end of a gobble borne on a spring wind.
That's where we were at one gorgeous late-May day in Minnesota. Two buddies and I had, in typical fashion, whiffed on our roost hunt and then failed to raise a bird later in the morning. After a quick lunch, we were intent on making a death trek around a huge hollow that always held turkeys. Surely we'd strike one there.
And only 200 yards into our climb, we did. Trouble was, we couldn't agree on where the bird was. At the gobble, one friend and I had pointed down into the hollow. Our other buddy, who knew the property best, had pointed in the opposite direction, up toward the peak of the ridge.
The solution was simple. We'd get the bird to gobble again, which would let us course it correctly. And if you've turkey hunted for long, you already know that the turkey never gobbled again.
Hmm. We thought about setting up and waiting for the gobbler to make the next move. That would be the safe play. But if two of us thought the bird was below us, wouldn't it make sense to ease toward the valley bottom and set up there?
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

New England grapples with excess capacity and rock-bottom prices.
Bruce W. Radford is publisher of Public Utilities Fortnightly .
New England grapples with excess capacity and rock-bottom prices.
"Corrosive." " Seriously flawed ." On the " brink of market failure ."That's what critics say about New England's forward capacity market (FCM), whereby ISO New England conducts auctions to solicit offers from project developers to make electric capacity available three years into the future to meet anticipated regional demand.
The reason? Too many offers—way more than New England needs to meet its ICR, or installed capacity requirement. All that excess capacity has forced prices down to the market floor—to $2.95 per kilowatt-month in the third forward capacity auction (FCA-3), held last October for delivery in June 2012—with surplus capacity left over, apparently willing to offer at even lower prices, if auction rules had so permitted.
And no one today expects the surplus or the low prices will disappear any time soon.
Dr. Miles Bidwell, a consultant and critic of New England's auction market who represents Boston Generating LLC in the FERC proceeding now pending on FCM reform, argues that excess supply "will hang over the FCAs for at least the next seven years and will continue to keep the FCA price at much less than the competitive market outcome."
NRG and PSEG, also filing comments on the FCM reforms, suggest it might take 10 years to work off the surplus, as nearly 37,000 MW cleared FCA-3 at the floor price, representing a surplus over 5,000 MW, whereas the year-to-year increase in regional needs "is typically on the order of ±500MW or less, less than 10 percent of the current surplus."
Even consultant James F. Wilson (Wilson Energy Economics, an affiliate of LECG) representing Connecticut's state utility commission and testifying before FERC in support of FCM, concedes that "trends of slower load growth, and diverse capacity additions … and regulatory incentives … leads me to expect that excess capacity and the resulting low FCM prices should continue."
Importantly, these twin regulatory problems—extreme excess capacity coupled with severely depressed auction prices—still appear largely in play, even following FERC's recent decision of April 23, handed down just as this issue went to press.
In that decision FERC reviewed the ISO's comprehensive package of FCM market reforms, proposed in late February. FERC accepted certain noncontroversial changes as proposed, but set a paper hearing to resolve the more difficult questions. ( See, Docket ER10-787, April 23, 2010, 131 FERC ¶61,065 .)
Among other things, FERC's April 23 decision resolved the question of the price floor.
In February, the ISO had offered to help prop up prices by extend the life of the price floor past the first three auctions, as planned originally when FERC OK'd FCM in June 2006, in order to cover FCA 4 through 6, for the capacity delivery years from June 2013 through May 2016.
Now we learn from the April 23 order that FERC will cancel the price floor as an unnecessary intrusion on markets, but will suspend the move temporarily, thus allowing the floor to remain in
