im looking for a travelling partner, anyone is going
Hi I'm coming to Gold Coast this December. This will be my honeymoon trip. Can someone suggest me which is the right location for me to stay and recommend the median level price hotel for us.I'm sure it's peak season during that period. I don't want to stay far also since I need to take public transportation.
Hi, will be visiting Sea world, Movie World and Dream World for 3 days with my wife and 2 children. Can someone please advice where will be best hotel to stay. Will there be free transportation available from these hotel to the theme park?
Would be great if there are shopping around the hotel so as to do some shopping during the evening, after visiting the theme park.
I'm moving to Brisbane/Gold Coast for Uni in July, for a year. Want to have my PADI so that I can do lots of diving with ease whilst I'm there. Does anyone know the best way to go about getting a PADI? I heard it was expensive in Australia, so planned to nip across the ocean... somewhere... for a week and check out another island whilst getting my PADI certificate. Anyone got any recommendations of places to go that are both affordable (flights, hostel + cost of course), and really worth visiting?
Hey there! I really hope someone could help me out. Been doing my research, but unable to come to a conclusion. Can someone give me a list of hotels that I can stay in Surfers Paradise, where I can have a good view of the ocean and are near to halal restaurants?
Really appreciate if someone could help me out.
Many thanks!!

First, we're not into theme park and water sports. Just saw a Lillydale farm stay, are we are really interested. But we have no idea how to go there, as we don't drive. Is there any public transport we can take or something?
We're also looking at Moreton island for its wild dolphin and sand tobogganing. But we have no idea how to go to Brisbane, and the same goes for Sunshine Coast. Is there any public transport that can takes us there, or are we too ambitious for it?
Is there anybody who could advise us or recommend any special attractions other than the theme parks/ water world?
Thanks! :)

Hi all,
I am planning a 10 days trip to Gold Coast in early July with my family of 4 adults and 2 children (6 & 7 years) where some of us are going for the Gold Coast Marathon at the same time. As this is our first time there, we needed help with deciding on the type of transport and itinerary.
I will be heading to a farm stay for 3 days at Clandulla Cottage first before heading down to Surfer's Paradise. Thinking of renting a car (never done that before). Not sure if it is wise to rent for all 10 days of the trip or just for the first 4 days and to take taxi/bus when we are Surfer's Paradise. Any recommendation?
Does the taxi in GC take in 6 pax or do we have to split to 2 taxis if we are to move around?
If we rent the car, is parking in Surfer's Paradise expensive? Say, parking overnight at the hotel or nearby Hotel etc. We will be at the Grand Chancellor hotel, any recommendation on parking?
With regards to itinerary, any recommendation? Also if there's anything we could do while we travel from the farm to our hotel?
Many thanks! :)
Hi, has anyone used Jacks rent a car on the Gold Coast?(). I am looking at hiring a car for a few days whilst I am there. I am 19 and fully licensed, there are not many companies that hire to under 21 year olds. This company has quoted the best price and has full insurance.
I cant seem to find many reviews of this company online, If anyone has used this company, or can recommend another company, your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Chris

Michael Rooker Quotes
Yeah, my role is gonna be a character by the name of Yondu. And there's gonna be more of Yondu. Yondu is gonna be even more handsome. Perhaps maybe Yondu will add some more bling to his teeth and wear some more jewelry. I don't know. It's gonna be a lot of fun. I've got my fingers crossed that we'll flush out the character even more.
Well, I think that's been my career. I always choose stuff that's the same, yet different. These projects just happened. I didn't plan it out that way. I just happened to be free, and the director, Dan Pritzker, decided to do his film again. I say again because we did it seven years ago. A lot of the actors were not available, so he just couldn't wait anymore and he recast everything. Me and two other characters are the only people involved with the new one, who were involved with the previous one.
As the actor, you can't be worried about the scene that you're going to playing two days from now. You think about what's going on, right now and in the moment. That's what you worry about. Everything is right then and there. In the end, all of the pieces come together, thanks to the editing and James Gunn.
You forget about it, after awhile. You forget that you even have it on. It becomes part of you. You get used to it, even the teeth and the contacts, which bothered the hell out of me. It ends up being something that is part of the role, and part of the thing that you're doing. After awhile, it just feels pretty damn awesome.
That's very cool. Absolutely! You want to know where this guy came from, but you also want to know about the relationship between him and Quill, and how they ended up living together, for the last 18 or 19 years, without killing one another. He's a strong young man, and it's because of Yondu.
I was pretty confident that I'd be playing something, if James Gunn could convince Marvel Studios and Disney to cast me. He's involved with the casting too, but if he could convince them to go along with him and agree with getting me on the roster, then yeah, I would have voiced Groot. Not a problem. Groot is an awesome character.
There's always room. That's what the directors usually want. They want the performer to bring themselves and give what they have to give for the role. The smart ones allow that to happen because then it becomes even more organic within the performer's imagination. It becomes even more real. It's not always a given in other films, but when Gunn works, and we all work together in a collaborative way like that, it becomes a given that you bring it. It becomes a lot of fun.

"Temperatures are rising faster in mountainous regions, making them particularly vulnerable to climate change," Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director, said. "Glaciers in the Pyrenees have shrunk a lot over the past 150 years. This agreement will improve our understanding of this region, helping the local population adapt to continuing climate change".
The EEA will offer expertise on data collection, information sharing and structuring and in assessing climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation. The collaboration aims to provide an overview of the climate change impacts in the region which can help local communities in preparing adaptation strategies for the most vulnerable socio-economic sectors and natural areas.
Information on regional and local climate change impacts and adaptation in the Pyrenees will also feed in to EEA European assessments, complementing other regional information sources provided for example by the Alpine Convention and the Carpathian Convention. In 2012, the EEA is planning to publish an update of its 2008 report on climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation in Europe with a specific chapter on mountain regions. The report will provide European, national and sub-national decision-makers with evidence that can help them formulate policies to cope with the impacts of climate change and adapt to its effects.
The CTP is meeting in Toulouse today for its annual plenary.
Only 25 % of household waste in Greenland is delivered to recycling stations, so the EEA hopes its new film will inspire residents, in particular youth and children in Greenland and across the Arctic region to change their behaviour. The film will also be supplemented with some educational material for schoolchildren.
The 12 minute film was introduced by EEA Executive Director Prof. Jacqueline McGlade, and Hon. Anthon Frederiksen, Minister of Domestic Affairs, Nature and Environment in Greenland.
Sound waste management in remote areas like the Arctic is always going to be costly. Large-scale modern waste management systems cannot just be copied wholesale from elsewhere in Europe or North America. Greenland, with its harsh natural environment and dispersed population requires unique solutions tailored to the country's context.
Because the huge distances and costs involved, much of the waste in Greenland has been (and in many cases continues to be) tipped into landfills just outside city or settlement limits. And without waste separation, household waste is often mixed with more hazardous waste types like batteries, leftover paint, nail polish or other chemicals.
These hazardous materials can affect the health of the local population when they enter the air through incineration or seep out of landfills which often lack protective layers to avoid leakage. Chemicals can seep down towards the coastal waters where Arctic people catch the fish, shrimp and sea mammals which make up a large part of their diet.
However, there are also some positive stories. For example, 99 % of all plastic and glass bottles used on the west coast of Greenland are returned to recycling plants, making country an inspiring example to the rest of the world.
The film considers this complex situation, proposing solutions which allow Greenlanders to manage waste without damaging their natural environment. Greenland is famous for its awe-inspiring natural landscapes, but this environment is extremely fragile, making the case for better waste management even more urgent.
The film is available in English, Danish and Greenlandic language versions.
It is believed that the sick man was infected before travelling to Europe but was bitten by a tiger mosquito in Italy. The tiger mosquito is a vector or carrier of the virus and the insect in question is believed to have spread the virus to another person in the village. This set off a chain reaction, with tiger mosquitoes biting infected people and spreading the virus until a mini-epidemic developed.
The outbreak of Chikungunya depended on an intricate web of interactions and conditions that reveal some of the health risks and challenges we face in a globalised world. Tourism, climate change, trade, movement of species and public health all played a part in the situation.
The tiger mosquito is believed to have been introduced to Europe via a range of imported goods — from ornamental plants such as 'lucky bamboo' to used tyres. The mosquito larva has been found in many parts of Europe but only survives outdoors in warmer, southern countries or in greenhouses further north — in the Netherlands, for example.
Dengue and West Nile Fever are also now found in Europe and are also transmitted by mosquito bites. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in Stockholm, Sweden, since the first large outbreak in Romania in 1996, West Nile Fever infection has become recognised as a major cause of public health concern in Europe. No vaccine is currently available and the main preventive measures are aimed at reducing exposure to mosquito bites.
We may be creating the conditions necessary for the spread of infectious disease — conditions that didn't exist before. The industrialisation of food production, for example, is a cause for major concern.
By intensively breeding one type of animal, we risk producing 'monocultures' with little genetic variability. These animals are very susceptible to diseases created by poor hygiene or infection from wild animals, such as birds. Once inside the monoculture, the diseases can easily mutate and spread even to the people working with the animals in question. Overuse of antibiotics has become an accepted method of compensating for the lack of natural resistance — a practice that could cause its own problems.
'Modern efficient agriculture, just like public health, looks to science and medicine to meet some of the demands of a globalised world. Although modern agriculture has benefited many of us with cheaper and plentiful food supplies it can also lead to unforeseen pressures and problems,' says Dr Marc Sprenger, Director of the ECDC.
'For example, as a result of the extensive use of antibiotics in agriculture, their effectiveness may decrease as bacteria become more resistant, which can potentially have an impact on humans too,' Dr Sprenger says.
Efforts to fight climate change will improve air quality
The European Union's Climate and Renewable Energy (CARE) package aims to:
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 % by 2020
• increase the share of renewable energy by 20 % by 2020
• improve energy efficiency by 20 % by 2020.
The efforts required to meet these targets will also cut air pollution in Europe. For example, improvements in energy efficiency and increased use of renewable energy will both lead to reduced fossil fuel combustion — a key source of air pollution. These positive side effects are referred to as the 'co-benefits' of climate change policy.
It has been estimated that the above package will cut the annual cost of meeting EU air pollution targets by billions of euros. And the savings to the European health services could be as much as six times greater.
New species and new diseases arriving in Europe are just some of the health impacts of climate change. Many more environmental and social impacts may ultimately affect human health through changes in the quality and quantity of water, air and food, and altered weather patterns, ecosystems, agriculture and livelihoods.
Climate change may also exacerbate existing environmental problems, such as air pollution, and disrupt sustainable water supplies and sanitation services.
The heat wave in Europe in summer 2003, with a death toll exceeding 70 000, highlighted the need for adaptation to a changing climate. The elderly and people with particular diseases are at higher risk, and deprived population groups are more vulnerable. In congested urban areas with high soil sealing and heat absorbing surfaces, the effects of heat waves can be exacerbated due to insufficient cooling at night and poor air flows.
For populations in the EU, mortality has been estimated to increase by 1–4 % for each degree increase of temperature above a (locally specific) cut-off point. In the 2020s, the estimated increase in heat-related mortality resulting from projected climate change could exceed 25 000 per year, mainly in central and southern European regions.
The discussion connecting health, land use, agriculture, tourism, trade and climate change needs to develop in an imaginative way. We may not be connecting public health and environment or climate change appropriately right now,' Dr Sprenger says.
'For example, I recently visited a department of health and asked who was in charge of climate-change-related issues and was told no one was. This is not passing judgement on any particular department or authority but it does illustrate that we need to change the way we think about these problems as they are all connected,' Dr Sprenger says.
'Public health systems must begin to adapt and open up to the possibility of new disease and new climate conditions. People may be misdiagnosed at the moment because their doctor is not familiar with a new virus. Many look and feel like flu. We need new tools to deal with the new challenges such as training, and facilities such as laboratories have to be flexible and adaptable,' he says.
The Asian tiger mosquito or Aedes albopictus is one of the most widespread examples of an 'invasive species'. Its traditional range is from Pakistan to North Korea. It is now found all over the world and has been described as the 'most invasive mosquito in the world'.
The mosquito is just one example of a much wider threat to Europe's biodiversity as alien or non-native species establish and spread across the continent as a result of human activities. Alien species can be found in all European ecosystems. Globalisation, particularly increased trade and tourism, has resulted in an upsurge in the number and type of alien species arriving in Europe.
About 10 000 alien species have been registered in Europe. Some, such as the potato and the tomato, were introduced on purpose and remain economically important to this day. Other species, called 'invasive alien species', can create serious problems to gardening, agriculture and forestry, as vectors of diseases or by damaging constructions such as buildings and dams.
Invasive alien species also change the ecosystems they live in and affect the other species in those ecosystems. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity identifies invasive alien species as one of the major threats to biodiversity worldwide.

Ravenna, Italy', Eurosurveillance 12 (36).
Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik said: "I am glad to see that the quality of Europe's bathing waters remains high, although there is room for improvement. Clean water is a priceless resource, and we should not take it for granted. I would encourage Member States to ensure we turn the slight decline we experiencing last year into an upward trend."
Professor Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of the European Environment Agency, said: "Clean water for swimming is very important for EU citizens, and this information will allow them to demand the highest quality water in lakes, rivers and beaches. Public participation is essential for the continued monitoring of Europe's bathing water, especially as the effects of climate change become more visible."
The report provides a comprehensive overview of the quality of bathing water in EU Member States throughout the 2010 bathing season, so swimmers can find areas where water quality is expected to be good during 2011. It also shows trends in bathing water quality since 1990.
The analysis brings together data from more than 21,000 designated bathing waters across Europe, approximately 70% of them coastal sites and the rest inland bathing waters. Sites are classified as compliant with mandatory values, compliant with the more stringent guide values, or non-compliant.
In 2010, 92.1% of Europe's coastal bathing waters and 90.2% of inland bathing waters met the minimum quality standards. Only 1.2% of coastal bathing water and 2.8% of inland sites were non-compliant. The remainder are unclassified due to insufficient data.
In general, coastal bathing water quality deteriorated between 2009 and 2010 – the number of bathing water bodies meeting the mandatory values fell by 3.5%, while those meeting guide values fell by 9.5%.
Inland water quality has also dropped. The number of rivers and lakes achieving the guide values fell by 10.2%, although compliance with the mandatory values was almost stationary. Rivers were particularly problematic, with only 25% of river bathing waters achieving guide values.
Bathing water in Europe needs to comply with standards set in the Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC) adopted in 2006, which updates and simplifies previous legislation. The directive was to be transposed into the national law by March 2008, although Member States have until December 2014 to implement it. During the 2010 bathing season 20 Member States monitored and reported bathing water quality according to the new provisions.
European citizens can find out about the water quality at their favourite swimming spot by checking the Water Information System for Europe (WISE). The site allows users to download data and check interactive maps, from the European level down to the individual monitoring station level. People can also report the state of their local water using the Eye on Earth website.

Boys basketball: Tigers crank up heat in win over Crusaders
Jesuit completes season sweep over Tampa Catholic.
By DAN GENOVESE
Published February 2, 2008
TAMPA - It was a packed house at Jesuit on Friday night as well over 2,000 filled the stands for the Tigers' season finale against rival Tampa Catholic. The Tigers gained momentum earlier in the week with wins over Berkeley Prep and Clearwater Central Catholic. Jesuit continued its winning streak by completing the season sweep over the Crusaders with a 73-68 win.
The Tigers (14-9) forced Tampa Catholic into early mistakes leading to a 14-0 run and an 18-7 lead after the first quarter.
"We really came out with a lot of intensity," Jesuit coach Neil Goldman. "This is a big game and a big crowd, so we didn't want to get too excited. We had a great start and were able to stay focused and not make mistakes."
The Crusaders (14-10) slowly began to chip away at the lead with their defense and the shooting of James Didden, who finished with a team-high 21 points and five 3-pointers.
With just more than five minutes remaining, Jamarlon Powe capitalized on a Tampa Catholic steal and hit a long jump shot to cut the lead to three. That was as close as Tampa Catholic would get as Charlie Mills and Jake Seymour took over. Seymour finished with 21 and Mills added 18.
"We challenged them (Seymour and Mills) to make very few errors and play well tonight," Goldman said.

The Beginning to a Great Adventure
As I'm sitting here typing, I should actually be packing. My carry on and all of its contents are currently sprawled all over my bed waiting to be thrown here and there so that I can leave for europe later this afternoon.
But before I tell you about the rest of my trip I guess I better introduce myself. My name's sydney and I'm a junior at the University of Washington. I'm about to leave the country for the next 6 weeks or so on an adventure i've been looking forward to for a while now.
Well in reality I'm leaving albany to then have a lay over in Washington DC and then again in Frankfurt, until we reach our final destination – Budapest, Hungary. You see, my mom and I are going on quite an European Adventure for the next 18 or so days, before I start my study abroad program. I've taken to calling it "High End Backpacking."
*Definition* – My mom and I will be traveling across eastern europe, myself with a hikers backpack and she will have a large rolling suitcase like always. We will be staying in semi cheap hotels, meaning that they're pretty inexpensive but they have bathrooms in the rooms. Also, we will be taking sleeper trains or european airlines everywhere and there's a couple places where we're still not sure of how we're getting to the next city.
No matter what, this adventure is going to be a ton of fun, filled with laughs, smiles and loads of pictures. Hope you enjoy following me as I get to see a little bit more of the world and hit over 30 countries before I turn 20 years old.
…I should probably go pack now.

State police rule Mount Mansfield hut fire accidental
STOWE, VT. >> Vermont State Police have ruled that a Christmas Eve fire that destroyed a 79-year-old hut situated near the peak of Vermont's tallest mountain was accidental.
The Burlington Free Press reports Trooper Todd Ambroz reported Tuesday that the blaze appeared to have been caused by an error in the operation of the historic Stone Hut's wood stove.
Ambroz says he couldn't find anything "intentional or malicious" in investigating the fire, which was first noticed by a Stowe Mountain Resort employee around 6:30 a.m. on Dec. 24.
The hut, located atop Mount Mansfield, is owned and managed by the Vermont Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation. Officials are optimistic that it can be rebuilt.
The hut wasn't rented to anybody at the time of the fire. No injuries were reported.

While Comcast is busy herding online video behind its TV Everywhere walls, rival Cablevision plans to help viewers watch streaming video in the wild — via the new PC to TV Media Relay hookup.
Cablevision says the service allows customers to transfer anything (their italics) that displays on their PC monitors to that widescreen TV. "We are putting an end to the need for families to huddle around their laptops or PCs to watch content together," Cablevision COO Tom Rutledge press-released.
"Everywhery" presumably includes iTunes video and Hulu's trove of network TV fare, an improvement over current PC-TV link of choice Boxee.
A "simple" software download to the PC activates the link, with no hardware in sight. Handheld personal electronic devices that are running through the home network also can make their debut on the big screen, Cablevision says. Internet radio and applications for email and spreadsheets apparently will work as well.
The signal slings through the Cablevision network system and onto a dedicated (unused) TV channel, similar to how home video players work.
Anyone with a computer and a burning desire to watch "Smosh" and "Happy Tree Friends" on the idiot box already has figured out how to do this — but there's something to be said for a solution that loses the boxes and wires.
Cablevision said its beta test of PC to TV Media Relay will get under way in June. Mac users should stand by for the usual techno-lag, as it's PC only for now.

Raised in a small, close-knit family in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I was taught that the combination of knowledge, diligence, ambition, and healthy social capital equates to success. Keeping that in mind, I chose to relocate to Chicago, a new atmosphere that I felt would allow me to meet new people while pursuing an engineering degree in healthcare.
Currently, I am a student at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) majoring in biomedical engineering with a specialization in neural engineering. In high school, I began following media news about significant medical breakthroughs through the use of viruses, chemicals, and new medical technologies to provide a second chance for patients. Through this self-education, I simultaneously realized the limitations of human ability in providing treatment, and the potential of engineering principles and medical technologies to compensate for our imperfections and greatly improve the quality of clinical treatments. I hope one day to take part in such greatness by translating creative ideas into reality from the knowledge and experience that I acquired at IIT.
Outside of the academic realm, I participate in the US Army ROTC program. ROTC helps me remain disciplined in reaching my daily goals, instilling stability and balance which I hope will lead to successful completion of my undergraduate career. Upon graduation from IIT, I hope to obtain a graduate degree from business or medical school.
I am excited to invest in America Needs You, as I believe dedication to the workshops and their lessons will develop essential skills for any professional environment. Networking with unique Fellows and Mentor Coaches with diverse backgrounds will help me build both personal and professional circles in which to grow as an individual.

A couple years ago, my mom gave me a Christmas cactus. It's the only cactus I've managed not to kill—probably because I forget to water my houseplants these days. The poor thing got dry enough that it dropped some of its pieces.
When the first one fell, I called Mom. Turns out the Christmas Cactus is one of those plants you can just poke in the ground and it will do its thing. So I pulled an empty pot out of the closet, scooped a hole in the dirt, tucked that piece of cactus in and set it on my window sill.
I noticed a cool thing happening. On the older plant, where the segment fell from, two new segments were growing. And the new plant on the windowsill? From that one piece, two buds sprouted and grew. And grew. And grew.
Now, as pieces fall or or get broken off, I plunk them into the pot on my windowsill and enjoy the show. Pruned and transplanted.
It's a reminder to me of how God prunes us. Sometimes He prunes something from us and transplants it to someone else's life, where that something grows and flourishes. I'll be honest. The pruning hurts and seeing something taken from me and given to someone else can sting, but if I let it, if I don't turn hard and bitter, it's cool to watch what God transplanted grow and burst into bloom.
And the spot in me where God did the pruning? It's given new life and becomes even better. Keeping that in mind helps soothe the hurt of the pruning process.
God prunes us so we can become more fruitful. Let's not resist the pruning, even though it can be painful at times.
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. John 15:2 NASB
Heavenly Father, I thank You for pruning me. Help me stay soft and pliable in Your hands as You prune, knowing that it's for the best and that I will become more fruitful for You through the process. Lord, as I see things I treasure removed and given to others, let me not become bitter, but help me rejoice in the growth and fruit that's sure to come from it. You are the master Gardener and You know what You're doing. Help me rest in that knowledge and trust You as You prune. Be glorified in me. In Your Name, amen.

Marathon Day – A Race is a Journey, not a Destination?
Can you hear the Rudy soundtrack playing in the background? If not, click here, and listen while you read (note: this is entirely optional – I'm just trying to add drama here. Is it working?) Apologies for the lengthy post – I promise, most will be shorter. But seriously, if I can run 26.2 miles, you can spend an extra 5 minutes staring at your screen right?
Anyway, when it comes to long races, I always tell myself a race is a journey and not a destination (thank you Steven Tyler). To me, it's never really about the finish line or the crowds, but how I can work through obstacles mentally to finish strong. Well, in this race, it was certainly a battle until the end, but it just felt even sweeter when I crossed the finish line. I'm going to break down the race in chunks and recap my thought process at the milestones. I'm hoping the recap will be helpful and entertaining and NOT self-indulgent. Please let me know. I need all the help I can get on this blog. Continue Reading →

Live Enchantment
Multi-talented singer/songwriter Luiz Simas is like a chameleon. He has performed with Brazilian artists including Raul Seixas, Roberto Carlos, Elza Soares (was her musical director when she performed at the Village), Lobão, Ritchie and many others. He was also the founding member of several groups in Brazilian music: Agora-4 (bossa nova, late 1960's), Módulo 1000 (heavy psychedelic and experimental rock, early 1970's) and Vimana (funk/symphonic rock, mid-1970's). In 1998, he released an album of pop songs, Recipe for Rhythm, backed by a band of musicians that included Sérgio Brandão (bass) and Romero Lubambo (guitar) among others. Simas sang and co-wrote all music in the album with Ellen Schwartz's poetry. He followed that release with the remarkable 1998 New Chorinhos from Brazil, a collection of 10 original choros written by Simas himself. That was followed by Impromptu (2000), also with 12 original Simas piano solos. Though he is an accomplished performer in just about any genre he plays, Simas appears to be more comfortable when he is at his piano performing his own works and others by Brazilian greats such as Ernesto Nazareth and other choro masters. That is evidenced by his latest album, Luiz Simas Live in New York City.
The album was recorded live at the Consulate of the Republic of Poland in New York City. The performance there was the same as the sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall in 2003. Though live recordings often bring with them some technical problems, such as instruments balance and other unwanted noises, a live album also captures just how good an artist can be. There is no chance for error. In over 70 minutes of glorious music, Simas covers a lot of territory. He is accompanied by Barbara Blonska on flute, Steve Kowarsky on bassoon and Jorge Amorim on percussions. Together, these musicians play compositions by Simas, Villa-Lobos, Jobim and even a few by Gershwin and other notable US composers.
The album opens with the peaceful, overture-like "The Legend of the Enchanted Lagoon," one of Simas songs in this collection. Kowarsky's bassoon solo clearly shows the Villa-Lobos influence in this composition, but it is Amorim's percussion accompaniment that takes center stage, particularly in the baião section of this eight-minute long composition. Throughout this recording, Simas adds unexpected gems side by side with Brazilian classics and his own music. The combination is very pleasing and never feels out of place, thanks to Simas' arrangements and performances. He even finds room to sing in Villa-Lobos' "Bachianas Brasileiras Nº 5." The best pieces performed here are, undoubtedly, the many choros. Whether by Abreu, Nazareth, Jacob or Simas, those pieces shine and prove just what an accomplished musician Simas is. Blonska's flute solos are also a delight to hear. She brings life to Jacob do Bandolim's "Doce de Coco," when Simas stands back and let the flute take over. The featured Jobim medley is appropriately followed by Simas's own "Chorinho com Bossa" and "Twisted Samba." The biggest surprise of the album has to be Simas' haunting vocal in "Cantilena," from Villa-Lobos's "Bachianas Brasileiras Nº 5." The album closes with a rousing arrangement of Zequinha de Abreu's world renowned "Tico-Tico no Fubá." With the touch of a visionary, Simas adds to the original song excerpts of "Summertime" and "Brasileirinho." This mixture of different worlds and styles take "Tico-Tico no Fubá" to a whole new dimension. It is truly remarkable. A bonus track recording of "Odeon" is added at the end of the album.

Pioneer's Q4 Profit Falls
Pioneer Natural Resources Co. on Tuesday announced its financial and operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.
--Net income for the fourth quarter was $28 million, or $.22 per diluted share. --Fourth quarter oil and gas sales from continuing operations averaged 100,799 barrels oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). --North American production for the year rose 12% from equivalent volumetric production payment (VPP) adjusted 2005 levels. --Total production rose 7% to 35.9 million barrels oil equivalent (MMBOE) from equivalent VPP adjusted 2005 levels. On a per share basis, total production was up 19%. --During 2006, 8.8 million shares were repurchased at $39.16 per share, essentially completing the $1 billion share repurchase program authorized by the board of directors in September 2005. --Net debt-to-book capitalization ended the year at 33%, reflecting the Company's strong balance sheet. --Net proved reserves of 91 MMBOE were added in 2006 at a finding and development cost of $18.36 per barrel oil equivalent (BOE), resulting in reserve replacement of 200% of production.
Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $27 million, or $.22 per diluted share, as compared to $83 million, or $.64 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2005. Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2006 included the following unusual items:
--incremental reclamation charge of $33 million ($21 million or $.17 per diluted share after taxes) resulting from the denial of the Company's application to "reef-in-place" the debris from East Cameron 322 which was destroyed in Hurricane Rita, --estimated insurance recoveries for debris removal associated with East Cameron 322 of $43 million ($27 million or $.22 per diluted share after taxes) and --a charge of $18 million ($13 million or $.11 per diluted share after taxes) related to previously drilled discoveries that had been suspended pending additional commercialization, appraisal and/or technical work.
Scott D. Sheffield, Pioneer's Chairman and CEO, stated, "Throughout 2006, we demonstrated that we can deliver strong, consistent production growth in North America. We expanded our resource base and made significant progress on two multi-year development projects. Our low-risk onshore development programs continue to deliver high returns, and with the contributions from our resource plays, especially in the Edwards Trend, and the initiation of production from the South Coast Gas project during the second half of 2007, we've laid a strong foundation for achieving our 10+% production growth target for 2007."
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, net income was $740 million, or $5.81 per diluted share, compared to $535 million, or $3.80 per diluted share for the prior year. Income from continuing operations was $172 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $195 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005.
Operations Review
For 2006, Pioneer posted outstanding operating results, drilling approximately 1,100 wells with 96% success. In the Permian Basin, Pioneer drilled over 300 wells in 2006, up from 190 wells during 2005, and increased Spraberry production by 21%. Successful drilling in the deeper Wolfcamp formation contributed to these strong results. The Company completed several attractive bolt-on acquisitions which added approximately 230,000 gross leasehold acres in the Spraberry field with estimated resource potential of more than 50 MMBOE.
In the Raton field, Pioneer drilled approximately 300 wells in 2006 and increased annual production by 10%, supported by pipeline expansion and improved compression. In South Texas, Pioneer focused on testing prospects with potential to further expand the Edwards Trend play, drilling six new discoveries with total program success of 88%.
In Canada, annual production rose 18% during 2006, supported by a 150-well Horseshoe Canyon CBM drilling program. In Tunisia, drilling success continued in the Adam Concession during 2006 and was extended to two adjacent blocks in early 2007. Recent discoveries in each of the three areas have tested approximately 13,000 BOPD on a combined gross basis. New 3-D seismic was acquired during 2006 to further optimize the drilling program going forward.
On the North Slope of Alaska, Pioneer completed the construction, contouring and armoring of the gravel drill site for its Oooguruk development project during 2006. Currently, winter-access construction activities are underway with development drilling anticipated to begin in late 2007 and first oil production in 2008.
Offshore South Africa, significant progress was made on the South Coast Gas project during 2006. Development wells were drilled and subsea equipment was fabricated in anticipation of first production during the second half of 2007.
Tim Dove, Pioneer's President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "I congratulate our operations teams for their success in executing the shift in our focus to lower-risk opportunities, primarily in North America. The strong results delivered in 2006 support our confidence in our people and our expanding portfolio of growth opportunities in achieving continued success in 2007."
Financial Review
Fourth quarter oil sales averaged 25,004 barrels per day (BPD) and natural gas liquids sales averaged 18,708 BPD. Gas sales in the fourth quarter averaged 343 MMcfpd. The reported price for oil was $61.67 per barrel and included $12.58 per barrel related to deferred revenue from VPPs for which production was not recorded. The price for natural gas liquids was $32.78 per barrel. The reported price for gas was $5.67 per Mcf, including $.58 per Mcf related to deferred revenue from VPPs for which production was not recorded.
Fourth quarter production costs averaged $10.52 per BOE and were less than expected due to lower than anticipated 2006 ad valorem taxes.
Exploration and abandonment costs were $96 million for the quarter and included $44 million of unsuccessful drilling costs, $18 million of costs associated with previously drilled discoveries that will not be developed (included with unusual items noted above), $32 million of geologic and geophysical expenses, including seismic and personnel costs, and $2 million of acreage and other costs. Net activity related to the abandonment of East Cameron 322 resulted in an increase to earnings of $10 million (included with unusual items noted above and representing incremental abandonment charges of $33 million more than offset by $43 million of estimated insurance recoveries).
Comparable sales for the fourth quarter 2005, adjusted to exclude discontinued operations from asset divestitures and assuming that the 2006 VPP volumes were in place for all of the 2005 quarter, averaged 95,166 BOEPD. Adjusted to exclude only discontinued operations, sales averaged 103,906 BOEPD and included oil sales of 32,357 BPD, natural gas liquids sales of 19,568 BPD and gas sales of 312 MMcfpd. Reported prices for fourth quarter 2005 were $40.33 per barrel for oil, $37.22 per barrel for natural gas liquids and $8.10 per Mcf for gas, including $.76 per Mcf related to deferred revenue from VPPs for which production was not recorded.
Full-year 2006 oil and gas sales averaged 98,382 BOEPD, including oil sales of 24,540 BPD, natural gas liquids sales of 18,951 BPD and gas sales of 329 MMcfpd. Reported prices for 2006 were $65.51 per barrel for oil and included $12.96 per barrel related to deferred revenue from VPPs for which production was not recorded, $35.64 per barrel for natural gas liquids and $6.23 per Mcf for gas, including $.62 per Mcf related to deferred revenue from VPPs for which production was not recorded.
Comparable oil and gas sales for full-year 2005 (excluding discontinued operations and assuming the 2005 and 2006 VPP volumes were in place for all of 2005) averaged 91,640 BOEPD. Adjusted to exclude only discontinued operations from asset divestitures, full-year 2005 oil and gas sales averaged 101,366 BOEPD, including oil sales of 32,217 BPD, natural gas liquids sales of 17,906 BPD and gas sales of 307 MMcfpd. Reported prices for 2005 were $38.70 per barrel for oil, $32.12 per barrel for natural gas liquids and $7.02 per Mcf for gas, including $.68 per Mcf related to deferred revenue from VPPs for which production was not recorded.
Financial Outlook
First quarter 2007 production is forecasted to average 97,000 to 102,000 BOEPD, approximately 3,000 BOEPD lower than anticipated due to significant winter weather downtime in the Raton, Hugoton and West Panhandle fields during January. First quarter production costs (including production and ad valorem taxes and transportation costs) are expected to average $11.25 to $12.25 per BOE based on current NYMEX strip prices for oil and gas. Production costs per BOE are forecasted to be approximately $.25 per BOE higher in the first quarter as a result of the weather downtime and related repairs. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is expected to average $10.00 to $11.00 per BOE.
Total exploration and abandonment expense during the first quarter is expected to be $50 million to $90 million and could include up to $25 million of costs associated with high-impact drilling in the NPR-A on Alaska's North Slope. It could also include up to $30 million associated with lower-risk resource plays in the Edwards Trend in South Texas, Uinta/Piceance basins in the Rockies, Canada and Tunisia and up to $5 million for acreage and other expenses. In addition, exploration expense is expected to include up to $30 million for seismic investments and personnel, primarily related to the onshore resource plays Pioneer is currently progressing.
General and administrative expense is expected to be $30 million to $35 million, including performance-related compensation. Interest expense is expected to be $25 million to $28 million. Accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations is expected to be $1 million to $2 million.
The Company's first quarter effective income tax rate is expected to range from 37% to 45% based on current capital spending plans. Cash income taxes are expected to range from $5 million to $15 million, principally related to Tunisian income taxes.
The Company's financial results and oil and gas hedges are outlined on the attached schedules. First quarter 2007 amortization of deferred losses on terminated oil and gas hedges is expected to be $33 million.

I first met Libby Mercer at our event in September at Book Passage in the Ferry Building. There was something about her – something in the way she speaks and carries herself that I knew I'd love her writing. I can't help but picture her when I imagine what leading lady Maya Kirkwood looks like in Mercer's second novel "Unmasking Maya."
Mercer's writing is quick, funny and believable. The characters and the settings ring true, with just enough mystery to keep me turning the pages.
Maya Kirkwood is an up and coming artist in the San Francisco Bay Area. After she meets a Silicon Valley executive at her showing he commissions her to do a huge installation for the company – despite the fact that he seems to hate her work. But with a payday of $10,000 she can use to leave her cramped apartment, she's ready for any challenge.
Then comes the twist. Slowly, we see Maya isn't really Maya at all. And perhaps she's not as new to the art world as she seems. With a dark past peeking through, it's hard not to keep reading as fast as possible to see what her secret could be.
Add a layer of romantic intrigue with her new boss and I'm sold. The descriptions of the fabrics used in her installation, the flirty remarks interwoven with descriptions of the city, and the hints toward Maya's real identity all add up to a fun read and a great gift for anyone who might need just a little escape this holiday season.
If you can find a stocking large enough, pair this gift with a uniquely shaped bottle of 2011 Incanto, a mix of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. The notes of apple and pear in this medium bodied white mirror Maya's bright new entry into San Francisco's art scene. With 84% Chardonnay and 16% Pinot Grigio, the flavor is complex. The Chardonnay is evident on the first sip, much as the reader expects to know Maya from page 1; but as you continue reading and sipping so much more is revealed as Maya's past – and the Pinot – expose themselves.
PS – for a great interview with Libby, check out Isabella Louise Anderson's blog Chick Lit Goddess!

Rainy Day Art Project with Kids
My son expected the first day of spring to arrive with spring weather. Little kids are funny! But turns out he was right! Yesterday being the last day of winter was also perfectly wintry. We woke to freezing rain.
The best thing to to on a rainy day is to not get out of bed but if you can't the next best thing is to turn that rain into lemon-aid! After dropping my daughter off at school my son and I decided to make son art with the rain!
We used these watercolor crayons and copied animals from reference books. We were especially inspired by bunnies, chicks, and other baby animals. I love my son's Easter party with a bunny, an owl (wearing bunny ears), a duck, and a bunch of eggs including some chocolate ones. After we drew our pictures on watercolor paper we taped them to plastic trays and set them out in the rain. The first ones we left out just for a few moments because it was raining pretty steady.
We didn't do this but I hindsight I think it would be a good idea to make a test sheet. You could try some different line and shading techniques with your colors and put this test sheet out in the rain until it is almost completely covered with drops.
I noticed some colors bleed in the rain better than others. The black in fact seemed completely unchanged by the rain drops. Once the rain painted our art we brought them inside and kept them flat to dry.
Another thing I noticed is that the student grade watercolor paper dries with ripples. Ironing works great to get it flat! Just iron it face down on another sheet of paper at the highest setting.
Looking for a book to pair this activity with? We love Rain! by Linda Ashman, illustrated by Christian Robinson!
Happy first day of spring!

Of course. It is more cheap and easy.
Some things are good to buy on line: Books, software, and so on. It often works out cheaper because of Australian prices and the goods and services tax. But anything of a personal nature I prefer to buy from a store so I can see what I'm getting.


text: The Icelandic reggae band Amabadama has been one of the most popular bands in Iceland since their single "Hossa Hossa" became the biggest song of 2014 in Iceland. Shortly after that with the release of their debute album "Heyrðu mig nú" the band put their stamp on the Icelandic music scene. With three nr 1 singles and massive records sales the band has sold out almost every venue in Iceland. The band is absolutely amazing live with high energy levels. Their on stage presence is one of a kind so you can expect a show to remember. In April this year their single AiAiAi came out and it's the first one from their second album.

Fall has arrived, which means it's time to trade your summer apparel for jeans and sweaters. Whether you are into the Halloween spirit, look to enjoy the fall weather with live music and food or want to dive into some arts and crafts, there's always something going on.
Here at Rubin Communications Group, we also slow down to enjoy the beauty of the fall season. We asked our staff to share their favorite fall events.
You know the expression, "It's not what you say but how you say it"?
The maxim applies 100 percent to the world of public relations. We strive to hit the right tone with our corporate videos because the client needs the finished product to evoke a certain feeling. The wrong vibe could distract or, worse yet, spoil the intended purpose of the project.

For the past couple years, Joel Rubin and the team at Jpixx Video in Virginia Beach have been telling some great stories about young people who have found their callings in the shipyard trades.
They have produced what they call "SMART Choice" videos for the Southeast Maritime and Transportation Center, based at Tidewater Community College in Virginia Beach, which promotes apprentice programs and other educational pathways into those jobs. (more…)

Lyon Shipyard in Norfolk is always on the lookout for new talent to work in its shops, in its dry-docks and on the Navy and commercial vessels that are its bread and butter.

How to remove Price Fab (Virus Removal Guide)
Antivirus and Anti-Malware programs detect Price Fab as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). The adware is known to get onto a computer system and attach to affected internet browsers without user consent. Once Price Fab has been contracted it will inject visited webpages with targeted advertisements. Targeted advertisements displayed by Price Fab are created from browsing information the unwanted program observes and ultimately gathers and tracks. Browsing information Price Fab uses to craft targeted advertisements includes all browsing activities, bookmarks, history, and more.
Price Fab adware is known to primarily bundle with other unwanted programs and possible malicious threats, such as generic trojan downloaders. Price Fab and the programs that it bundles with also create and schedule new tasks and make changes to existing system start-up settings. This will cause the program to run every time Windows starts and to remain enabled if it manually disabled by the user.
Price Fab is not technically defined as a computer virus but the unwanted program is still a threat or the sign of a serious computer infection. Since Price Fab is known to download and install alongside third-party malware, malicious files, and additional potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), including adware like UniDeals it will be necessary to uninstall multiple programs and remove multiple browser add-ons and extensions in order to stop all unwanted activities from occurring. Apart from manually eradicating the program and others that it bundles with, files may remain undetected to the average computer user. That is why the professional internet security community recommends to use a reputable anti-malware product to remove Price Fab and malicious files that it may bundle with.
Browser attachments that bundle with Price Fab have 'permissions' set allowing them to perform tasks users may find undesirable. These permissions are listed below.
[list style="check" color="green"]
- Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
- Read and change your browsing history.
- Manage your apps, extensions, and themes.
- Manage your downloads.
Price Fab is commonly contracted without user consent or knowledge. It is used to promote free downloadable content from a variety of locations on the web, therefor it bundles with multiple objects. Free downloadable content includes freeware, shareware, torrents, and more.
Users who wish to consciously install freeware may be given the opportunity to accept or decline an offer to install Price Fab adware and other objects during the installation process; However, the user request to decline the adware from installing is often ignored by the program or presented in a confusing manner and the adware will install anyways.
This program and objects that it bundles with can also be promoted through questionable advertisements. These advertisements are usually dishonest, misleading, and cause the program to automatically download and install once clicked on.

text: I love Tokidoki bags, but my one complaint is that the zipper mouth is too small on some of the bags. Like on the Campeggio, the bag can hold so much more, but the zipper just won't open enough. I think that's why I prefer the avventura, because I can put as much stuff into it as possible. Does anyone else feel this way about some of the other styles (I noticed it on some purses, therefore I didn't buy them) I really think the designer should hear feedback about the products!

Is really hard now adays to find someone that actually like to marry. It could be for disappointments, trust issues, or just dont want to be tied down to one person because they like to taste the rainbow lol others simply go with the flow n if things go wrong they move on.
So share with us, would you actually like to be married? What do you think about marriage? What is the main reason u think people dont marry anymore? And last, if you were married you think you would be a great wife/spouse?
Many questions just very curious
Most Helpful Guy
It's a nice dream, but not something I need to be happy. My parents had a bad marriage and a worse divorce, and that's definitely affected the way I think about it. I got to see first-hand how the family court system can really screw men over, and how children can pay a ridiculous price because of it. I would never want a child to see what I saw or go through what I went through.
In terms of my own long-term relationships I've had some very negative experiences with women as far as having my trust abused.
From a cost-benefit perspective, both financial and emotional, my experiences have led me to believe that marriage is not really worth it... for me. There are a great many things that make me happy that don't require me to be married, and I don't believe I need a wife and children to live a meaningful life.
Certainly I can imagine a woman I would want to spend the rest of my life with, but I don't believe she exists, and I'm certainly not going to sacrifice any more of my life trying to find her. Which I do think is somewhat unfortunate, because I think I could make a good husband to that woman. Not perfect, but someone definitely worthy of the same love and respect I'd show her.
As far as why people are not getting married, I think economic conditions have more of a role than many people think. Among the working and middle classes income has not kept up with the cost of living in Western society, and just to maintain the lifestyle we grew up with we have to spend more of our money on ourselves. On top of that, Western culture now encourages that self-centric rather than family-centric viewpoint.00|00|0
