CHARLESTON, S.C. - Playing in arguably the biggest set in the UNC Greensboro men's tennis program's history, Yaroslav Litus and Jacob Wright won four of the final five games to win a decisive doubles match and lift UNCG past Elon, 4-3, in the title match at the 2010 Southern Conference Men's Tennis Championship on Sunday afternoon.
The win gave UNCG (17-5) its first conference title in men's tennis since 1995 and its first automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. It will be the program's first trip to the NCAA Tournament in men's tennis on any level (Division I, II or III). The Spartans last won a conference tournament title in 1995 when it defeated Charleston Southern for the Big South Tournament crown. NCAA automatic bids were not attached to conference championships at that time.
UNCG also won five conference titles in the 1970s and 1980s as a member of the Dixie Conference.
The opening round of the NCAA Tournament will be played on May 14, 15 and 16 at 16 campus sites around the country. The 64-team bracket is slated to be unveiled on ESPNNews on Tuesday, May 4.
Elon (9-14) was making its fourth straight appearance in the SoCon title match. The Phoenix have now lost in the title match three consecutive years.
The match was a marathon as the teams had to endure a three-hour rain delay at the start and a change of venue to go back into Charleston to the campus of The Citadel, rather than playing at Patriots Point. Due to the threat of more inclement weather, the decision was made to play the singles matches first. But the teams split those, 3-3.
UNCG's Orcun Seyrek and Arsel Kumdereli came away with an 8-3 victory over Chase Helpingstine and Alberto Rojas at No. 1 doubles but Elon responded minutes later with an 8-3 victory at No. 2 doubles as Philip Nemec and Cody Stauffer-MacDowell downed William John and Timion Meijs. From there the match rested on the outcome of the doubles match on court three.
With the No. 3 doubles proset tied at 4-4, Litus and Wright shifted into another gear, winning four of the last five game to win the set, 8-5, and give UNCG its first title in 15 years. It was the second straight day that the duo played a big part in the day's outcome having won a 9-8 proset on Saturday to give UNCG an early 1-0 lead over Furman in the semifinals. It gave the duo their team-best 18th win on doubles play together this season, raising their mark to 18-9 on the season.
Rojas gave the Phoenix, the tournament's No. 4 seed, a 1-0 lead in the match with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Litus at No. 4 singles. The Spartans answered minutes later, however, when Kumdereli closed out Helpingstine at No. 2 by a 6-1, 6-2 score.
The Phoenix went ahead in the match when Darling posted a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Kyle Eddins at No. 6 singles. The Spartans then won the next two singles matches to surge ahead 3-2. Meijs picked up win No. 24 of the year when he held off Stauffer-MacDowell, 6-3, 6-3 at No. 5 singles, while Seyrek pulled out a 6-2, 1-6, 7-5 victory over Nemec at No. 1 singles.
With Seyrek's win, he set a new school record for wins in a season. He is now 28-5 on the year, topping the single-season mark previously held by Alex Lenhoff with 27 wins in 1997. It was Seyrek's 19th win in his last 20 singles matches.
Turner tied the match, however, with his three-set victory over Wright at No. 3 singles. After dropping the first set, 6-4, Turner won the next two sets, 6-4, 6-2 to send the match to doubles play. That set the stage for a thrilling finish in doubles play.

AMERICA/PANAMA - Meeting of the Bishops of Central America, today the opening of the Jubilee Year for the 500th anniversary of the first diocese
Panama (Agenzia Fides) – Since Monday, November 26, 60 Bishops of the Central American region have been in Panama for the 2012 General Assembly of the Bishops' Secretariat of Central America (SEDAC). The meeting is being held in the retreat house "Monte Alverna" of Panama City. The Bishops come from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Outgoing President of the organism is Mgr. Leopoldo Brenes, Archbishop of Managua, waiting for the Bishops to elect the new President. Archbishop of Panama, Mgr. José Domingo Ulloa opened the meeting.
According to information sent to Fides Agency, today, November 28, the Bishops will attend the opening of the Jubilee Year 2012-2013 for the 500th anniversary of the first Diocese Santa Maria la Antigua. The agenda also includes the celebration of the Year of Faith and the exchange of pastoral experiences in the region. The meeting will conclude on Friday 30 November.
One of the recurring themes in the various meetings of the Bishops of the region, and that will be addressed during this meeting, concerns the exploitation of mineral resources in the various member countries. In 2010, in the conclusive document, the Bishops had said, "we raise our voices asking our MPs to create laws that prohibit the mining of metals through the use of cyanide ...

Our 10 most popular recipes for the month delivered right to your inbox!
My mother made an amazing Boston Cream Cake, with the custard layer in the center and a very thin layer of a white icing on the top with a bittersweet chocolate glaze. Does anyone have this recipe? My sister and myself have looked all over. None of the versions I find have this thin layer of white icing. I remember the cake not being very sweet....but really yummy. :-) Thanx

Steven Spielberg, like Nolan, was a popular filmmaker whose directing was not acknowledged until Schindler's List (he got his second directing award for Saving Private Ryan). I suspect that if Nolan ever makes a "serious" film – or the sort of film that the Academy thinks is "serious" – he might get some Oscar love. For the record, Nolan's films are very serious, and they're also groundbreaking, imaginative, unique genre pictures that redefine their genres.
Inception is an entertaining puzzle; the dream-within-a-dream (movie-within-a-movie) multilayer structure is demanding. Teasing apart the layers, keeping the whole tangled web straight requires more attention than your run-of-the-mill industrial espionage caper. Inception is smart and original – a nonderivative, non-remake, non-sequel, brand-new thing that's constructed out of familiar pieces assembled in an uncommonly imaginative way.
Nolan's next film is a third Batman movie, and unless it's set in World War II, it's not gonna cut the Oscar mustard either. Too bad for Nolan, but great for thinking movie audiences who like to be entertained and challenged.

The following lists provide an overview of local attractions and destinations close to this property.
Agra, an old heritage city on the banks of the river Yamuna, finds its mention in the Epic Mahabharata as Agraban. Enriched with an affluent historical and cultural backdrop, the city of Agra goes back to several centuries to the third century B.C., where it has been referred to as Agrabana or Paradise City. In the 16th and 17th centuries it became the capital of the Mughal Empire and many of the city's best-known monuments were built during this period. The city reached its zenith between 1556 and 1658, under the successive rule of Emperors Akbar, Shah Jahan and Jahangir. Akbar's reign was the most memorable in the city's history. This was when Agra flourished and became renowned as a centre for art, culture and commerce. Since then, the city has continued to attract artists and intellectuals from all over the world.
In terms of artistic ambience and culture, the city is still associated with the Mughal period. It has a laid back lifestyle and an immense wealth of architecture, handicrafts and jewellery. Situated along the Yamuna River, which meanders down from the ancient towns of Mathura and Vrindavan, Agra is a significant district headquarters in Uttar Pradesh. The city charms worldwide tourists with various historical and architectural attractions.
Taj Mahotsav
In February, the Taj Mahotsav (festival) is held in Shilpgram, a crafts village and open-air emporium situated about a kilometre along the road running from the eastern gate of the Taj Mahal. The festival features live performances of music and dance.
Agra Fort (5 kms)
Emperor Akbar began the construction of the massive red sandstone Agra Fort on the banks of the Yamuna River in 1565. Additions were made until the rule of his grandson, Shah Jahan, under whose reign it was partially converted into a palace.
Akbar's Mausoleum at Sikandra (17 kms)
The sandstone and marble tomb of Akbar, the greatest of the Mughal emperors, is situated in the middle of a peaceful garden where deer graze, at Sikandra, 4 kms northwest of Agra. Akbar started its construction himself, blending Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Christian motifs and styles, much like the syncretic religious philosophy he developed called Din-E-illahi.
Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary
Situated 60 km from Agra. During the season, cormorant, darter, spoonbill, egret, stork and black ibis are found in large numbers.
Dayal Bagh Temple (15 kms)
The white marble Dayal Bagh Temple of the Radah Soami religion has been under construction since 1904 and is not expected to be completed until some time in the 21st century. If you're lucky, you may get to see the pietra dura (inlay work) in process.
Fatehpur Sikri (40 kms)
Fatehpur Sikri was built by the side of an artificial lake about three kilometres long. This complex of palaces, mosques, gardens, and pavilions is a rich legacy of the Mughal era.
Taj Mahal (1.5 kms)
Described as the most extravagant monument ever built for love, this stunning mausoleum has become the de facto tourist emblem of India. It was constructed by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
Kinari Bazaar
The alleyways of Kinari Bazaar, or old marketplace, start near the Jama Masjid. There are several distinct areas whose names are relics of the Mughal period, though they don't always bear relation to what is sold there today.

Posted to Fraxel Re:Pair NIGHTMARE! Hyperpigmentation, Severe Redness, Laser Track Marks! - California on 3 May 2012
Christine, Have you heard of anyone having problems with craters that have this blue thread like stuff, that seems to cause a inflammatory reaction. What I believe happened was that I had fillers and the laser went too deep and too intense that it burnt the filler which then set up a foreign body inflammatory reaction.

From supermodel to superhero!
Seal's new 'girlfriend' revealed as Power Rangers star Erin Cahill
His last love was a supermodel, but now Seal might be branching out to dating superheroes.
The 33-year-old only met Seal just two days ago - but seem to be hitting it off.
TMZ reported: 'We're told Erin and Seal met two days ago at a charity function.'
Despite being newly acquainted the pair are clearly getting on like a house on fire if her tactile display was anything to go by.
And they just happened to be pictured lovingly gazing into each others eyes when they attended the Silver Circle Gala at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Tuesday night.
She played the group's leader Jen Scotts, who was was discernible by her distinctive pink costume, from 2001 to 2002.
Seal with Mystery New Girlfriend
Seal's officially done mourning the death of his marriage to Heidi Klum ... 'cause the singer has moved on to a smokin' hot brunette who looks damn good in a bikini ... and TMZ has the pics.
Just 3 months after Heidi filed for divorce, an extra-sweaty Seal was spotted on a yacht in Italy this week ... gettin' all kissy kissy with a mystery babe after a quick workout session on the deck.
There was cuddling ... there was smiling ... but there was no sign of Seal's wedding ring.
TMZ broke the story, Heidi decided to break off the marriage because she got sick of Seal's explosive temper. The couple later released a joint statement saying they had simply "grown apart."

I'm a guy of some years ( 37) from england ( Weymouth) ,have been roelplaying and wargaming since I was 15 with some different players.
I will agree to disagree, like mentioned we've both had different experiences and different results.
In short I look foreward to the new 4th edition( from bits I've heard) but personally think that True20 has a balanced system that has an improved flexibility compared to the core system and will result in some classic roleplaying.
All the best gents and see you round the forum.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I own a few Fluke testers, but sometimes I need an extra tester. (Too many things to measure at the same time..) This is very decent tester for the price. It is not like my other ones, but for the price you pay it is very good. Build quality is good. For the less experienced users the cover over the amp measurement inputs is useful...
Cons: It is not a Fluke ;-) . To do temperature measurements the dial has to be turned past the current measurement position. That means that all input connectors need to be free since the protection covers will move... It would have been better if the temperature setting would be located "before" the current setting. No manual included. Might be useful for the less experienced users, or for users who want to know the exact specs...
Other: Decent tester for a decent price.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - English manual included - Batteries included - Temperature probe included - Pretty good test leads included - Mechanical 'logic' prevents inserting test lead to amps socket if you are not measuring current - Multifunction socket lets you use another K-type thermocouple with flat pins or connect e.g. capacitors directly to meter - Fast display update
Cons: - Does not have hfe measurement as stated in description - Diode test voltage is about 1.75V, it does not lit a led properly - Price is a bit high, but worth of it
Other: If you need a multimenter for serious hobby, this might be it.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: acurated, has most featurs (include AC current and capacitors and Frequency) operate by AAA battery, has internal over current fuse that easy to replace, well disigned, made of good material
big display, mechanical protection against exidently going to current mode: tou have to pull out the probe and only then the meter will move to current mode and only the right enterence will be open to be used
the tough plastic mad it strong and durable
Cons: a little bit havvy and big
Other: good product(I am using the product more than a year and have a good experience)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I have always wanted a multimeter in a long time, but they have always been expensive so I haven't bought of that kind. When I saw this product I just have to have it. I am very glad for it and satified what it can and still use it for many things.
Cons: None
Other: Very useful for many different things to measure.

Security flaw in Safari's RSS feeds reported
An open source software engineer says he's found a vulnerability in Safari for Mac and Windows that could compromise a user's files and passwords if successfully exploited.Brian Mastenbrook didn't get specific in a blog entry posted Sunday, but he did claim his discovery has already been acknowledged by Apple. All users of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard are affected, whether they use RSS feeds or not, as long as they have not changed their preference from the default, as seen below.
"Safari ... is vulnerable to an attack that allows a malicious web site to read files on a user's hard drive without user intervention," Mastenbrook wrote. "This can be used to gain access to sensitive information stored on the user's computer, such as emails, passwords, or cookies that could be used to gain access to the user's accounts on some web sites."
According to Mastenbrook, Mac OS X Leopard users should change their Default RSS reader preference to another feed reader. Possible solutions include Mail and NetNewsWire.
Safari for Windows users should use a different web browser until the security hole is patched, he said.
Mastenbrook has a credible reputation for bug reporting, with no fewer than four mentions, by name, in previous Apple release notes.
On Topic: Software
- Avid announces Pro Tools 11 and Media Composer 7 for Mac & PC
- Adobe releases Lightroom 4.4 and Camera Raw 7.4 after month of testing
- New release candidates for Adobe's Lightroom and Camera Raw bring bug fixes, added camera support
- Apple to lock iOS app screenshots upon submission to halt scammers
- Firefox 18 launches with support for Retina display Macs

Starring: Ram Charan Tej, Tamanna, Mukesh Rishi Directed by Sampath Nandi Music: Mani Sharma Rating: **
If Ram Charan's Orange felt like flaccid candy, Racha is like a spicy mirchi bajji. It sticks to the time-tested Telugu formula of a mass entertainer. Lots of action, mainly involving Ram Charan taking on a number of goons, jeeps and cars blowing up and high-energy dance numbers with "milky white" Tamanna. Ram Charan plays Betting Raj, whose punchline aadmi kam, risk zyaada tells you this is an all-testosterone show. Raj, who loves to tease death, will go to any extent for a bet. So when his dad contracts liver cancer, Raj agrees to a bet to get rich gal Chaitra (Tamanna) to fall in love with him in a month. The cash will get his dad a new liver, never mind the girl's heart. Chaitra's dad is the wicked Bellary (spot the reference to jailed mining baron Gali Janardhana Reddy). Iron ore is his business and iron is in his soul. Bellary has more cars and gunmen than the President of the United States, but Raj shrugs them all off with pure muscle. He whisks Chaitra away to the Srisailam forests and his heart does a tiny flip-flop when she gets under a waterfall. Vana Vana Velluvayi, a reprisal of the hit number from Chiranjeevi's Gangleader, is va va voom and has Tamanna showing off her dangerous curves. A couple of twists later, the story completes its masala movie circle. Ram Charan spouts plenty of Hindi in the film, probably in preparation for Zanjeer. And in more instances than one, he reminds us of his "Megastar" dad Chiru. That makes Racha a safe bet.
Having watched a number of thought-provoking Malayalam movies in Trivandrum (with Mohan Lal as my favourite actor ) for quite some time, I feel annoyed and let down by the present crop of Telugu cinemas. For the contemporary Telugu cinemas are 101% MASALA STUFF ! They are based on the tried and tested movie formulae invoving (i) RIDICULOUS FIGHTS where-in the Hero bashes up dozens and dozens of baddies and blasts scores of cars (ii) DUETS picturised in foreign locations (iii) DIALOGUES or rather PUNCH LINES, which are truly laughable, (iv) MERCINARY FEMALE MODELLS imported from MUMBAI/DELHI, who are willing to go to any length in exposing their fair skin, as long as they are paid their undeserving moola, but are unwilling to learn even one word of Telugu ( v) PROMOS conducted on lavish scales etc.
Telugu cinema had its periods of zenith in the past. There used to be a sensible and socially relevant story lines, good actions by the Hero and Heroine and above all good literature and haunting and melodious songs. Wonderful movies had come from directors such as B.N.Reddy ( Malleeswari, Bangaaru Paapa ) K.V.Reddy ( Maya Bazaar ) , L.V.Prasad ( Ilavelpu, Illarikam ), Bapu ( Saakshi ), to cite only a few. All that is gone !
Now the "Story Line" , dialogues and situations in contemporary Telugu fims are nausiatingly predictable . The only consolation is that of late, some Non-Telugu Directors like Gautam Menon began directing Telugu films. For instance, Gautam Menon's " Yem Maaya Chesaave " is a neat, clean and enjoyable love story of a Hindu boy falling in love with a Christian girl. Keep it up Gautam Maashe !

He tried to do it on Pushing Daisies.
This documentary looks at some theories (You decide whether they're crazy or not) about Kubrick's The Shining.
"I was going to spend a year and a half analyzing the carpet patterns and looking at every shot a hundred times."
"A lot of decisions made on the set were about pragmatism: 'This looks good.'"
He loves it so much that he started a site devoted to the film and helped fund the new documentary Room 237.
A new documentary explores the meanings that obsessive fans of the film have extracted.
Is it really about Native American genocide? Or the faked Apollo moon landing?
"Dr. Strangelove's Secret Uses of Uranus," "Dr. Doomsday and His Nuclear Wiseman," and more!
We were supposed to learn Danny and Wendy were alright.
In the latest "Pop Culture Memory Lane," comedian Connor Ratliff describes the time he showed the "funniest movie of all time" at his 13th-birthday party.
Kubrick was a "misfit"? Get outta here!
Here's Johnny, synchronized!

Oh, you lucky people of the Mountain and Pacific time zones. My children will be snug in their beds come 9 o'clock tonight, but you can help your progeny to fully absorb the educational opportunities offered by Wednesday night's televised debate between the two candidates for president. Parents of teenagers in any time zone can watch family style, while those in the Central time zone will need to use their best judgment (keeping in mind that half an hour of debating politicians, no matter who they are, is probably enough to drive the average pre- or grade schooler into bed).
A few not entirely tongue-in cheek ideas for debate-watching with children of any age:
1. Keep score. A lesson in civics might involve giving a candidate a point every time he answers a question, a lesson in cynics would surely offer a point every time he avoids one. As a Generation Xer, I grew up on that kind of cynicism, and I think I speak for us all when I say that it would be lovely if you raised the voters of 2016, 2020, 2024 and beyond to look for sincerity as well as directness in their political candidates.
2. Play games. Create a BINGO sheet with words and topics you expect to see addressed, or replace the classic drinking game with a "munching" game: snag a chip every time President Obama says "make no mistake" or Mitt Romney addresses the audience as "my friends."
3. Introduce Politifact. I'm afraid it's tough to offer a civics lesson-worthy explanation of why we need such a thing. Would your child vote for a candidate who lied? What if the candidate believes he's telling the truth? What if they both lie? What is truth? (For answers, turn to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, or perhaps Johnny Cash.)
4. Ask, "What would you ask?" Almost any age child should have an answer to that one, and older children may surprise you with their savvy.
5. Explore what The Learning Network at The Times has to offer. T.L.N. is putting up a special Student Opinion Q on Wednesday afternoon that will ask "What Is Your Reaction to the First Presidential Debate?" They will invite youngsters to weigh in all night as well as the rest of this week from classrooms, and will live-moderate tonight, choosing favorite comments as "comments of the moment." Joining in at The Learning Network offers an older child a chance to experience some of the social media that frames the way many adults look at the debate.
The Learning Network also has lesson ideas at Teaching With the Presidential Debates, including links to everything from coverage of the campaign to bring a woman moderator to a debate, humorous takes on the candidates' efforts to lower debate expectations, differing views of the value of the debate themselves and, as the T.L.N. editor Katherine Schulten told me, "much, much more, including quizzes, crosswords, lesson plans, etc.: Election 2012: Teaching Ideas and Resources."
6. Practice civility and restraint. All mischief aside, one of the most important things a parent can model for a child in debate-watching is a respectful attitude toward both sides. It's tempting to watch a debate like a football game, yelling at the screen and throwing up your hands in a very model of partisanship. Restraint, and watching with an eye toward the issues rather than the button-pushers and the horse race, offers a real lesson in civics.
Speaking as someone whose debate-watching household will include reasonable adults who disagree (as reasonable adults truly can) on the desired outcome of the 2012 presidential election, my call for civility and restraint is heartfelt. (In fact, I may write it on the cocktail napkins.) A presidential debate should be a moment when issues are discussed, plans are offered, and it is clear that what divides the candidates is rarely the end goal, but what all of the various hopes we have for our country would look like, and how we should get there.
I'm no Pollyanna, so I'm well aware that my pie-in-the sky vision of political discourse isn't likely to appear on the stage. But it could appear at your house. I'd argue that the goal of educating children in the ways of politics isn't to raise kids who think like you, but kids who think for themselves.
Anyone else have any thoughts on how to get there?

its a well made game that took lots of time to beat it unlike CoD,always come out on november sooo predictable
The new iteration of the strategy RPG will be card based and free to play.
Valkyria Chronicles 3 for the PSP may not see the light of day in English, but gamers can at least get a taste of a new title in the franchise that will launch for the PC. Sega recently announced the next iteration in the strategy RPG series: a browser game called Valkyria Chronicles Duel.
In this new game, players get to build an army consisting of past Valkyria Chronicle characters and weapons that are represented by cards with different values and in-game properties. Users have to develop and fortify their base camp, expand and conquer territory, and fight off the opposition represented by 3D character battles akin to past titles on the PS3 and PSP.
The game will be free to play and will consist of a microtransaction system involving items. Interested parties can check it out and sign up for a user test session held from today until June 25. There is currently no mention of a release date for this game.

Hi folks,
I have had the pleasure of having my first startup failure. Whoo Hoo!
I learned a lot and am moving on the next effort, but before I do I need to end the LLC I started with my partner.
The LLC is in Illinois, and there is a $250 annual fee for continuing to exist. Can I simply not pay this fee to end the LLC, or is there some form or something I need to submit. I hope I don`t need to pay any money to do this, cause that would be kind of ridiculous to have to pay a fee to end a company.
Anyway, thanks for your help in advance.

Remote and unspoilt Philippines, the ideal lair for Dragon James Caan
James Caan
The Philippines attracted us because they seemed so unspoilt.
On previous holidays we had been to exotic Indian Ocean island destinations such as the Maldives - but this time I wanted to step outside the normal commercial holiday options.
Slightly harder to reach than the better-known destinations of South-East Asia - guide books describe them as being on the 'wrong' side of the South China Sea - the Philippines are definitely well off the beaten tourist path.
Typically, I like to combine a break in a resort with a couple of city stops en route. This time we flew to Dubai, then to Shanghai before hitting Hong Kong. Travelling with my wife Aisha and our daughters Jemma-Lia, 23, and Hannah, 24, we thoroughly enjoyed our initial three-city tour, and at the end of it we were really looking forward to chilling and relaxing in the Philippines.
He's in: James Caan with daughters Hannah and Jemma-Lia
We knew that the Philippines as a tourist experience probably wouldn't be as polished as, say, the Maldives, but they were every bit as attractive - and never felt 'touristy'.
Our first glimpse of the Shangri-La at Boracay confirmed that it was a stunning property, beautifully done.
The resort's website had painted an alluring picture of somewhere that was both tranquil and very remote. In real life it was absolutely amazing. I've previously stayed at a number of other Shangri-La hotels in India and China. The Boracay property was even better than the others as it is one of their newer properties: everything beautiful and spotlessly clean.
The hotel beaches are fabulous and the service second to none. Most impressive, perhaps, was CHI, the Shangri-La spa that claims to be 'a place of personal peace, enchantment and wellbeing'. Situated on a rocky peninsula overlooking a private bay, the detached spa village complex is designed to be a sanctuary within the resort. Treatments here are based on Chinese and native Philippines healing concepts, including Hilot, the traditional Filipino healing massage.
I love the spa - it's one of my favourite holiday experiences - and the one at Boracay proved exceptional. The one thing that makes me slightly uneasy about having a massage is the amount of time it takes. My life is all about getting the most out of every hour in the day, so while I love a massage, I'm not convinced it needs to take a couple of hours. When I was shown into the treatment room by my masseuse, I saw there were three other girls there who didn't seem occupied. As the masseuse began massaging my head, I discovered that the three other girls had nothing planned.
So I quickly took things over: I said that while my masseuse continued on my head, one of the other girls could massage my back while the other two took a leg each.
I can tell you now that having eight hands massaging me is the most incredible experience I've ever had. I think I had a four-hour massage in 60 minutes - perhaps they'll add it to the spa menu as The James Caan Massage!
The other thing I really enjoyed at Boracay was the Helmet Dive. If you don't like snorkelling and lack the qualifications to scuba-dive, a Helmet Dive opens the undersea world to anyone.
You are connected by an air pipe to a pump on the boat. As your helmet is filled with air, it keeps out the water but you can put your hand inside to adjust your glasses if you wish (yes, you can wear your glasses or contact lenses).
You can walk about 15ft down on the ocean bottom with fish swimming right up to your face. It is the most marvellous experience.
And it's one of those things you will instantly want to try out on holiday. But if somebody had come up with this as a business proposition on Dragon's Den, I can imagine it would have had a rough ride. For various reasons, I would have said 'I'm out'. But I'm definitely 'in' as far as the Philippines are concerned.

N.Y. appeals court revives Amazon's sales tax suit
In a long-awaited decision that could shape the debate over Internet taxes, a New York appeals court today reinstated Amazon.com and Overstock.com's lawsuit claiming a state law forcing them to collect sales taxes is unconstitutional.
A New York appeals court ruled 5-0 that the "dismissal of the entire complaint was premature" and that the lawsuit should continue.
The legal actions, filed a few weeks apart in early 2008, claimed that the state law was "invalid, illegal, and unconstitutional." Amazon has, however, been collecting sales taxes on shipments to Empire State customers while the … Read more
