Barack Hussein Obama II - born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who is the 44th and current President of the United States.
He is the first African American to hold the office and the first president born outside the continental United States. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was president of the Harvard Law Review.
He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School between 1992 and 2004.
While serving three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004, he ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for the United States House of Representatives in 2000 against incumbent Bobby Rush.
In 2004, Obama received national attention during his campaign to represent Illinois in the United States Senate with his victory in the March Democratic Party primary, his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July, and his election to the Senate in November.
He began his presidential campaign in 2007 and, after a close primary campaign against Hillary Clinton in 2008, he won sufficient delegates in the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination.
He then defeated Republican nominee John McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months after his inauguration, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
During his first two years in office, Obama signed into law economic stimulus legislation in response to the Great Recession in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010.
Other major domestic initiatives in his first term included the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to as "Obamacare"; the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010.
In foreign policy, Obama ended U.S. military involvement in the Iraq War, increased U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan, signed the New START arms control treaty with Russia, ordered U.S. military involvement in Libya in opposition to Muammar Gaddafi, and ordered the military operation that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden.
In January 2011, the Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives as the Democratic Party lost a total of 63 seats; and, after a lengthy debate over federal spending and whether or not to raise the nation's debt limit, Obama signed the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
Obama was reelected president in November 2012, defeating Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and was sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2013.
During his second term, Obama has promoted domestic policies related to gun control in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and has called for greater inclusiveness for LGBT Americans, while his administration has filed briefs which urged the Supreme Court to strike down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act and state level same-sex marriage bans as unconstitutional.
In foreign policy, Obama ordered U.S. military intervention in Iraq in response to gains made by ISIL after the 2011 withdrawal from Iraq, continued the process of ending U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan, promoted discussions that led to the 2015 Paris Agreement on global climate change, brokered a nuclear deal with Iran, and normalized U.S. relations with Cuba.

Katrina Kaif to play Amitabh Bachchan's heroine in Mehrunnisa
Well, Bollywood films always offer interesting stuff to watch and often something unique is dished out for the audiences. Well, the latest to hit the Bollywood screens is a film that carries an altogether unique subject in which Katrina Kaif is to play the love interest of none other than Amitabh Bachchan. This is not new that Bachchan is going to enact the leading role opposite the girl of his daughter's age rather the mega star has been starred in a couple of movies in which the role demanded him to fall in love with the teenager or the much young gal than him. Those films namely Nishabd (opposite Jiah Khan) and Cheeni Kum (opposite Tabu) and their subjects were liked by the audiences.
Now this film too is on the lines of those movies though all of three films' stories are different — we cannot put them under same light but the overall concept seems to be same where a much aged man falls in love with the girl much younger than him.
Katrina has been the love interest of many Bollywood heroes in her career but this time around, the opportunity is far different and unique as she is required to essay the main lead opposite Amitabh Bachchan.
Nikhil Advani, the director of movies like Kal Ho Na Ho and Patiala House has brought this exceptional idea to make a movie on. Katrina has been zeroed in by Nikhil to play this highly unconventional role in the film 'Mehrunnisa'. This will be a real challenge for Katrina to doll it up. Nikhil personally approached Katrina with this offer. In this film, Katrina's role is of a 20 years old girl whose journey goes till she turns 60. Thus besides playing the love interest of Bachchan she is also required to enact an older woman in the film.
Nikhil flew specially to London to narrate the script to Kaif and the sources told that she has said 'yes' to the offer. The rest of the formalities will be done once she arrives in Mumbai.

This piece originally appeared at The Radical Notion (Aug 25, 2015). I am a semi-regular contributor to TRN, check it out on Facebook and Twitter for the latest.
Congratulations ladies (and anyone who likes to have sex involving a vagina)! The FDA has approved a "female viagra" to enable you to get it on! Hooray!
Except, not quite. First let's remove the misnomer from the drug, Flibanserin, dubbed Addyi by Sprout Pharmaceuticals, its manufacturer, is absolutely not the same as Viagra, Cialis or any other ED drug out there. Those drugs are designed to aid men who are aroused and want to have sex but face physical limitations. Those drugs basically increase blood flow to the genitals, allowing the penis to get erect, enabling penetrative intercourse. The analogous to this for women, actually, is probably lube which has been around in some form or another for millennia. But Addyi does not increase lubrication in the vagina. It doesn't focus on the physiological aspects at all. Instead it takes a woman who has little to no desire for sex and, essentially, gives her some.

Does No. 5 Contain Bionic Moss?
10 comments:
Thanks for posting about this! I adore No. 5 and have a vintage bottle that my mother had when she was a teen, and it was one of the first few perfumes I tried before really diving headfirst into this hobby.ReplyDelete
I'm glad that they are upfront about the fact that they have to reformulate and that they are at least trying to preserve the integrity of the fragrance. Lord knows Chanel has definitely changed from its original formula from the 1920s given the removal of many "dangerous" ingredients - the question I'd like to pose, however, is: at what point does Chanel No. 5 cease to be Chanel No. 5? When it's no longer recognisable? When it loses its "oak-mossiness"? The question might border on the metaphysical, but then again, I'm a Philosophy student - welcome to Philosophy of Scent!Replies
That is indeed a philosophical question. We lovers of Chanel No. 5 may cease to recognize the perfume being produced one day, but Chanel will never stop making a perfume called No. 5, no matter how completely the formula and smell may change. There will always be new noses that have never tried it, and for them, it will be the only No. 5. I'm hanging on the the last few drops of my c.2007 extrait.Delete
Joshuaang, wouldn't it be great to travel to various points in the last 90 years and smell No 5. Perhaps we'd discover that it stopped being No 5 quite some time ago...Delete
Krista, I couldn't agree with you more. And I think hoarding is probably a very good idea at this stage!Delete
This seems to reflect what Thierry Wasser said about if Guerlain classics were made again in their original formulas, if people would recognize and still like it.Delete
Sometimes i wonder that we think about fragrance reformulations but never think that we as humans end being 'reformulated' too over our lifes...
Rick, yes, the 'reformulation' caused by life probably has a larger effect on our tastes than we acknowledge.Delete
Now the prospect of a genuinely passable oakmoss analogue is an exciting one - it could lead to a (re)transformation in perfumery.One only has to consider what changes in iris and oud notes did to the market to realise the potential impact...ReplyDelete
As for No. 5, well surely its more than a concept than a scent anymore - No.5 will smell like No.5 to every successive generation regardless of the exact composition, no?
Yours ever
The Perfumed DandyReplies
Perfumed Dandy, I think I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure I entirely agree. No 5 has been recognisable for as long as I've known it (ie nearly 30 years)... so if it changed drastically, then no, it wouldn't be No 5 to me any more.Delete
Are the bottles all the ingredients that goes inside Chanel No 5?ReplyDeleteReplies
Rick, no, I should've explained. They're just a little Chanel kit of a few key perfumery ingredients.Delete

Crazy for Speed, just as the game title shows, is a kind of violent racing game and allows you to race through streets, cities and police persecutions illegally!
Actually, this game is similar to another popular racing game with the similar game title, which hasn't been developed Android version. Maybe this is an opportunity on taking the niche.
This game is a non-aggressive racing game that players off all ages can have a try on it, which sounds attractive for people who are crazy about racing games. Especially this one, it has stunning 3D effect and allows an exciting journey of chasing for speed and life.
More and more racing games and running games have been designed to G-sensor operation system, and Crazy for Speed is one of them. The tilting control is one of its strongest points and can make you experience the lifelike racing, which seems that you are steering the car and driving on the highway with drifts and even crashes. Touching the screen to boost and speed up, which is really crazy and exciting.
However, it also has its weak points, such as the racing feeling is not as smooth as we expected. You may feel a little shaky on medium-end devices or lower, which will irritate you a little bit sometimes when you are racing with the fastest speed. Therefore, the game developer needs to modify and improve it, in order to adapt to more models of smart phones with higher control quality..
The game's graphics are really good, especially the car models and the characters. But currently it also lacks luster that we expected to have. And I have to admit, its 3D effects and animations are very outstanding and surely glue you to the device screen.
If I say, the music is not that excellent as claimed by the game developer, it doesn't mean it is bad. When you are deeply addicted to this game, I believe you will hardly notice the background music. Maybe that is good for you to enjoy the racing speed with all your heart!
Anyway, it's a good game and worthy of having a try. If you are really crazy about racing game and can ignore its tiny flaws, and if you have a high-end device, all the flaws will become just nothing at all. Don't forget to collect more coins to unlock super cool cars!

Early last year I found myself close to my breaking point due to work-related stress. Although I take responsibility for the fact that my emotional distress was in large part the result of overworking for many years, I have also come to believe that covert bullying in the workplace also had something to do with me hitting the wall. Here's what things looked like at an appointment with my family physician on the day before I went on leave.
I think you have exceeded the limits of your reserves.
Sounds ominous.
Seriously, I think you need to take some time off of work and unwind, take care of yourself.
I just took two mental health days and today is my fourth Friday off in a row.
When was the last time you took more than a couple of days away from work?
Fourteen months ago, we went to Mexico for two weeks.
Did you do any work on that trip?
Just on the plane there and home. And emails. I checked emails, but just once a day.
And how many vacation days did you take in 2010?
Three and a half.
Are you ever able take a break from working or thinking about your job?
Which one? I don't obsess over my teaching job because that is only one night a week. Plus class prep on weekends. But no, I always obsess over my full-time job.
And you've had high job stress for the entire four years that you have worked there, according to your file? You've been in here for stress related issues six times. Although…it looks like the last time we saw you was seven months ago. Did things get better for a while?
No. Worse. But I was too busy to take time off for doctor's appointments.
What was happening just before you got this job?
I had stage three colon cancer and spent a year undergoing chemotherapy. I got my job the week after I was told I didn't have cancer anymore.
So you had a year off, but you were fighting cancer.
Well, no.
No what?
I didn't have a year off. I was teaching while I did chemo.
Full time?
No! Not for the first semester. Just for the second.
Okay. I am beginning to understand. What about…before cancer?
Well we were raising our family so I only worked part-time while going to school. Thirteen years of university in a row, the last six of them were spent on my PhD.
What was your thesis about?
History of care of dying cancer patients early twentieth century in North America. Ironic, hey?
So did you have any time off between finishing the doctorate and getting cancer?
Not so much.
As in?
I defended my thesis …in the hospital. One week after they yanked the cancerous colon.
It didn't occur to you to pospone the defence?
No. I had to get it done because we were in the middle of a move to another province. I had to finish it and get out of the hospital so I could get our house ready to sell. It was fine. The nurses helped me figure out the timing of the pain control so I could make it through the two hours.
I hate to ask…but before your final run at the PhD…any break from "working?"
Well, at the beginning of the PhD I kind of took it easy on the studying for sixteen months. So that was for all of 1999, first quarter of 2000.
Great! And how did that feel?
Not very good. I was taking care of my mother who was dying from leukemia.
You really need a month off. To start.
Now isn't the best time.
You are crying in executive meetings at work. You aren't sleeping. You are having anxiety attacks and you think you have Alzheimer's disease because you keep forgetting words. Now is a really good time.
You don't think it's Alzheimer's? What do you think it is?
You're going to need at least a month.
Can I keep my blackberry?
POSTSCRIPT: I did go on medical leave, for four months. In that time, I reconnected with my life and the people in it, I started doing yoga and meditating and I worked to regain the balance that had eluded me for so long. I returned to work in June and managed to keep normal hours and stay well. Realizing that I was "not my job" was a good thing – as in mid-November the unit that I ran was dissolved and I was laid off. The lay-off, and the nine months' severance package, was truly one of the greatest gifts that I have ever received. Today I am training as a life coach to help women recover from work-aholism and other addictions.
This article was thoughtfully donated by Dawn Nickel, PhD. Work stressed? Her site features a retreat to Tulum, Mexico.

My really good friend Sarah makes beautiful bracelets for her jewelry line, Pretty You & Me. The other day while on a lunch date at our favorite brick oven pizza place, my heart exploded when she handed me a little PY&M bracelet she made just for Felix.
Just to give you an idea of the mini cuteness, Fe's bracelet is on the left and one of mine is on the right. Sarah even put a sweet deer charm on Felix's. Swoon!
(The sandals she's wearing? How we announced we were having a girl!)Blue Steel. Oh Felix Zoolander, you crack me up.
Sarah, thank-you for the cutest bracelet ever! We are in love with it. I'm thinking you need to definitely start a Pretty You & Me tot line. Felix is already a fan. XO

The eninal tissue case by Fift is a hanging canvas tissue dispenser. The tissue is placed behind the canvas and then hung on a wall, creating an abstract piece of art. Each time you dispense a tissue, a warped shape transforms into a unique sculpture; the piece changes slightly as it drops a picturesque shadow against the wooden canvas.
Each frame is handmade and numbered by Japanese craftsmen. The Eninal tissue case is an art piece created out of a functional, usable everyday item. The design was comprised by husband and wife duo Katsunari and Ami Igarshi at their Tokyo-based design studio. The Eninal tissue case is available at gnr8 Europe, and would make a beautiful sculptural addition to any wall.

About Sony Xperia Tablet
Sony Xperia Tablet
The Xperia series of smartphones and tablets are designed and developed by Sony Corporation, which is among the world's topmost companies in the field of consumer electronics products.
History of the Sony Xperia Tablet series
Sony announced the possibility of a tablet series in early 2011, and sometime in September, two models were formally released. These were the Sony S and the Sony P tablets that ran on Google's tablet OS, Honeycomb.
Later in the following year, the Xperia Tablet S was released at the IFA in Berlin. It came with Android Ice Cream Sandwich. The next release was the Xperia Tablet Z at the MWC in 2013.
Popularity in India
Sony has always been perceived as a reputable brand in the Indian electronics market. It offers a range of products starting from televisions to cellphones and tablets. Even though it isn't at the top of the market, it does feature among the topmost market share holders for most electronics products.
As for tablets, Sony hasn't quite been up there. While a majority of the budget-conscious customers prefer medium and affordably priced offerings, the price tag of the Xperia tablets come across as a turn off.
Design of the Sony Xperia Tablet series
The Sony Xperia tablets straightaway have an eye-catching design. They are pretty stylish and maintain uniform thickness throughout. The edges are straight, unlike rounded edges that has been the norm for certain tablets from other competitors. Being lightweight also makes them pretty easy to hold in both, portrait and landscape modes. The front, along with the edges has some glossy plastic while the back boasts of matte finish.
The screen is of 10.1 inches, which is an increase over the initial 9.4 inch releases. A compact version of the tablet comes with an 8-inch screen. There is also a bezel around the screen that is about one inch wide.
These tablets are water-resistant and black is the only color option available.
Features of Sony Xperia tablets
The Xperia series of tablets are largely powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon or Krait line of processors. In the first released models, they were run by Nvidia Tegra processors. Along with this, the tablets also come with 1 to 3 GB of RAM. As for storage options, 32GB is the most prominent. However, there are also models that have 16/64GB options. An expandable card slot is also provided.
The tablets run Android OS's Honeycomb, ICS, Jelly Bean, KitKat or Lollipop. Bloatware is also kept to a minimum by Sony.
Although tablets are generally blessed with average cameras, Sony Xperia tablets' cameras do stand out. There are two cameras in every model. The present release (Xperia Tablet Z4) has an 8.1/5.1MP camera combination.
For connectivity, the Xperia tablets offer numerous options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, nano-SIM, 3G and 4G LTE (certain models), Wi-Fi Direct, GPS, Micro USB, MHL Out and more. A number of sensors are also present in these tablets to assist with daily usage.
The tablets also pack ample amount of battery in the form of a Li-Ion cell that is generally 4500mAh and higher.
Sony Xperia News
As of now, Sony has started to roll out the Android 5.1.1 update to Xperia Z tablets and a bunch of other smartphones.

Tuesday Blog..NOLA RAW Thoughts, Big Show, Red Neck island, UFC, FCW Staff, Big 12 Football, Sauce It Today!
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the updated Q&A Section of our site while you're here. Here are some random thoughts on a variety of topics....
I enjoyed Raw from NOLA. Seemingly the primary objective/focus of the broadcast was to feature/highlight The Big Show and that was done.
@WWETheBigShow is a much more compelling TV character as a villain than he is as a jolly, happy, better not make me mad, Giant. Just my two cents.
Good to see Brodus Clay step up in class by confronting the Big Show. Clay held his own verbally while getting beat down in a ringside melee that never saw the match get started.
Thinking that @CMPunk vs. @WWEDanielBryan is a pairing that has excellent chemistry especially in today's marketplace. These two have the most compelling issue on WWE TV for my money plus the added bonus that their rivalry gives the WWE Title added focus.
Twitter is a funny place...it's the one place where one can be cursed for not promptly wishing a seemingly happy go lucky person a happy birthday. Oh, how quickly they turn.
For more on WWE13 check out IGN.com. I've put many hours into this project and it's going to have multiple storylines that come with some bona fide attitude.
Seems like Dolph Ziggler is about to embark on his own or so it appears from watching RAW. Whether Ziggler reminds one of Billy Gunn, Curt 'Mr Perfect' Hennig or anyone else from the days of yesteryear, the former college wrestler is main event bound in my view. @HEELZiggler can be a big time player and I would only encourage him to take the ball away from someone and run with it until someone forces him to change course.
John Cena not being on Raw live was a sound move. Cena is far and away WWE's top star right now and giving one's bell cow a respite from additional TV exposure is a good thing. Cena is a valued commodity in WWE and not over exposing him is good for the Cena TV persona and also provides other stars the opportunity to 'maximize their minutes' and be more impactful.
Not shocked to see the Boston Celtics lose at Miami after closing out Philly just 48 hours earlier but I'm still pulling for an OKC vs. Boston NBA Finals. Yeah, I know, it's a long shot.
Talked to @steveaustinBSR last week. Steve spent approximately 30 days in Mexico taping 'Redneck Island' for CMT. He seemed pleased with the project which debuts in mid June on CMT. It's tapped for a 10 week run. This could be the first of multiple projects with Steve and CMT in the future. Steve will be shooting some scenes for 'Grownups 2' starring Adam Sandler and others in July.
Seems as if I find my friends @steveaustinBSR and @ShawnMichaels on the other side of the @okcthunder vs @spurs NBA playoff than am I. I do have to say that no one in the NBA is playing as good or even remotely close right now as is San Antonio. I'm hoping to attend a Thunder playoff game this week before I resume traveling next week.
I expect to hook up with old friend Charles Barkley when he comes to OKC later this week. Chuck may need a personal, tour guide to show him the art of being an Oklahoman. I may have to get him a black hat. How befitting.
The WWE Home Video release of the Best of WCW's Clash of Champions is garnering some good feedback on my Twitter timeline @JRsBBQ. It's funny how many fans never knew that @tonyschiavone24 and I were partners at one time and not merely rivals during the ballyhooed Monday Night Wars. We had an entirely different style of calling matches in the late 80's as is utilized today. The difference is stark upon listening to 'then and now.' It's not necessarily better or worse but certainly different.
WWE did a cool promo for ECW Unleashed Volume 1 voiced over by @HeymanHustle with some of @JoeyStyles sound bytes thrown in for good measure. This DVD should be fun to watch.
UFC officials, as I pointed out late Saturday night on Twitter, could strike some MMA gold by booking Junior Dos Santos (JDS) vs. Cain Velasquez for JDS' Heavyweight Title and getting fortunate with a Cain win. Then the rubber match with JDS attempting to regain the title could be held in Brazil at a stadium and draw massive money.
Speaking of massive money...I somehow get the feeling that Mayweather and Pacquio are 'milking' the public and the media with their on again off again talks of a historic fight that the boxing world truly needs. Could it be simply a matter of financial posturing on both fighter's behalf? Would cable and satellite carriers be willing to take a smaller percentage to get this fight on their air? I believe that the Mayweather vs. Pacquio fight will happen in 2013 as both know that Mother Nature's window is closing on what will be the most historic fight of this generation and no matter what anyone says, NOBODY has too much money.
Amazing that some people actually think that Laurinaitis is/was going to be on the cover of WWE13 from THQ. CM Punk got the deserved nod.
My Clemson and Florida State prediction that both will come to the Big 12 because of football has some suggesting that I be institutionalized. That suggestion isn't a revelation as some have been endorsing that for years.
Many times when I make comments on main stream sports I predictably get taken to task. It's the old 'pro wrestling bias' stigma that will never go away but the irony is that it often times comes from fans of the sports entertainment/pro wrestling genre. For some reason some people think that if one is engaged in the pro wrestling business that one is a glorified carney with little or no knowledge of anything else especially sacred, main stream sports. Any wrestling announcer who has had a long tenure on TV in a high profile role, after the advent of cable, has always been limited on doing main stream sports. Bill Mercer, among a handful of others, in the DFW area succeeded but local wrestling was perceived much differently within their home market than it was when airing on national cable. I firmly believe that my tenure in the business adversely affected any opportunities that I may have had doing some free lance work with Oklahoma University sports.
Miami Dolphins confirmed to be the subject of NFL's Hard Knocks on HBO. It's been a helluva show on premium cable but not so much on regular cable. I'll be watching as I like train wrecks and the Dolphins qualify.
@JonnyBones will be in Tulsa this weekend. He'll be at Reasor's Grocery in Jenks, a Tulsa suburb from 2-3 p.m. I'd volunteer to be his designated driver but the UFC star has likely got that issue more than covered. Regarding Jones recent issues stemming from allegedly driving under the influence, people make mistakes and what truly matters is how they regroup and move forward. I'm also concerned that a young guy is driving a Bentley which costs one heck of a payday for an athlete with a short, shelf life who's just getting his career rolling. Save that dough, Bones.
We're working with @americansoda in the UK to distribute JR's products in their part of the world. It's all TBD but we are trying. Talks are on going.
Seasoned some 85/15 Angus ground beef 24 hours w/ Mesquite Liquid Smoke, chopped, vidalia onions and JR's All Purpose Seasoning before putting them on the grill Monday night. Off the page, if I do say so myself.
I made a Wrestlemania level potato salad Sunday using JR's Main Event Mustard added to No Fat Mayo, chopped onion, chopped sweet pickles, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, finely chopped bell peppers, seasoned salt, ground pepper and minced pimento to make the best Tater Salad ever.

Getting some good feedback on some of the recent FCW TV shows. The staff at FCW does a really good job of working with the young talents in what is somewhat of a thankless job. Fundamentals are well taught and specific, negative, indy laden habits are broken/addressed. The FCW TV show is available on You Tube according to many who don't see it on the Brighthouse Network in Florida on Sunday nights. I'm proud of the work that the FCW staff does and am happy to be a small part of the process. looking forward to being in Tampa several days next week.
Interesting question about MMA guys leaving their world to begin anew in sports entertainment/pro wrestling. MMA athletes with no pro wrestling training will be challenged to become squared circle stars unless they commit totally to their training and have some degree of natural aptitude for the business. I'm not referring to Mo Lawal specifically as it seems that several MMA types are talking up the fact that they may seek opportunities in WWE, etc. Firstly, getting into WWE isn't an easy task and it will, hopefully, become even harder. Bottom line, MMA fighters must have a great work ethic and an aptitude for the genre to have a chance.

History Theatre's "Christmas of Swing" opens with a bang: screaming jets, wailing sirens, the staccato of gunfire, all against a shifting backdrop of war footage. Then, as suddenly as it starts, this brief bedlam of noise segues into the catchy rhythms of swing music and the scene shifts from the theater of war to a different theater entirely. It's Christmas Eve in 1944 New York, and the Andrews Sisters are launched into "Jing-A-Ling, Jing-A-Ling" as they prepare to entertain the troops.
Over the next two hours, Ruthie Baker as Patty, Stacey Lindell as Maxene, and Jen Burleigh-Bentz as LaVerne dash through a whopping 36 songs and dance routines that will be familiar to Andrews Sisters' aficionados. The three acquit themselves beautifully, recreating the trio's signature harmonies and infusing the music with wit and energy, particularly in their interpretation of such standards as "Shoo-Shoo Baby" and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy". They're accompanied by a snappy quartet, led by musical director Raymond Berg in the role of Vic Shoen, the arranger and conductor who worked with the sisters for much of their career.
Bill Scharpen and Mark Rosenwinkel playing a variety of other roles in the show. Scharpen does a credible job as Bing Crosby, and the two offer a comic routine as Bud Abbott and Lou Costello spoofing Hitler and Eleanor Roosevelt that cleverly conjures the flavor of the time period. Rosenwinkel's turn as Abbott reciting a twisted version of "The Night Before Christmas," complete with "Eight drunken reindeer caught in a tree," is equally indicative of this famous straight man's style. Less successful is Rosenwinkel's portrayal of Danny Kaye; he captures all of the performer's hyperkinesia, but less of his wry charm.
"Christmas of Swing" can stand on its own as a musical revue, but writers Bob Beverage and Ron Peluso have added a narrative device that has the sisters read letters sent to them by the families of soldiers serving in the war. Rosenwinkel, as Maxene's husband and the sisters' manager, Lou Levy, initially objects to including them, worried that they will slow the show's tempo, but he's overridden, and these snapshots from the front are sprinkled throughout the production. The juxtaposition works for the most part, although the repetition at one point of a particularly horrific war story counterpointed by Lindell's lovely rendition of "O Holy Night" feels heavy-handed and jarring.
Aside from this ill-considered dark moment, "Christmas of Swing" fulfills its mission well of offering up a nostalgic, warm-hearted nod to one of America's finest trios and recreating the period flavor of their music while emphasizing its timeless appeal.

Pound's Friends

- Pound's Cantos by Peter Makin
Allen and Unwin, 349 pp, £20.00, March 1985, ISBN 0 04 811001 9
- To Write Paradise: Style and Error in Pound's Cantos by Christine Froula
Yale, 208 pp, £18.50, February 1985, ISBN 0 300 02512 2
- Ezra Pound: Politics, Economics and Writing by Peter Nicholls
Macmillan, 263 pp, £25.00, September 1984, ISBN 0 333 36159 8
Number ten in the Unwin Critical Library, Peter Makin's book is very good. No one can say with any confidence that it will attract new readers to Pound 's immense poem; and in fact one of its great virtues is that it doesn't try to minimise how difficult The Cantos is, and always will be. The difficulties are of three kinds: first, those inseparable from the nature of the enterprise (i.e. epic); second, those inseparable from Pound's temperament; lastly, those involved with the political and other vicissitudes endured by Pound through his more than fifty years labour on the poem. Devoted work by commentators through now several decades has in one sense 'cleared up' difficulties in each of these areas: for, though The Cantos have attracted a quota of pedants and loonies, that quota is surprisingly small, and most Poundians have worked harder and more responsibly than, for instance, the Hardyans have. But their clearings-up necessarily partake of the refractory and multifarious and arcane nature of the text that they work with, and of the sources of that text; and so mastering the elucidations is not much easier than mastering the poem. The Cantos is or are, and through any foreseeable future will remain, 'caviare to the general': and yet there they sprawl, a labyrinthine ruin (to put the case at its worst) plumb in the middle of whatever we understand by Anglo-American Modernism in poetry. Anyone may be excused for deciding that life is too short for coming to terms with The Cantos: but if we make that decision we thereby disqualify ourselves from having any opinion worth listening to, about the poetry in English of this century.
What incessantly threatens to disable and demoralise commentators on Pound is precisely this clear-sighted recognition that the poet to whom they devote themselves can never have in any ordinary sense 'a public'. It's against the permanent drag of this dispiriting awareness that we should measure, and applaud, the élan that Peter Makin finds, nine times over, to impel him on to seven or nine or ten or twenty cantos at a time, from Canto One to Canto 117 – this after six chapters of preliminary and necessary throat-clearing. True to his briefing from Claude Rawson as general editor, Makin doesn't restrict himself to summarising what previous commentators have uncovered (though he's good at that, scrupulous and thorough – for instance, noting German and Italian writing as well as English), but he has pursued his own researches and presses his own line – nowhere to better purpose than on Canto 36, the translation of Cavalcanti's 'Donna mi prega', where his elucidation of the psychology and metaphysics of Albertus Magnus is so far as I know unprecedented, and awesomely illuminating. Moreover, having to decide with each batch of cantos those that he will concentrate on, he honourably steers clear of those that are most winning, most 'lyrical' – scanting in his Chapter Eight Canto 17 for the more rebarbative Cantos 21 and 25; or in Chapter Ten passing over Canto 47, which can be, and has been, applauded by some to whom the thrust of The Cantos as a whole is unappealing.
Over quite long stretches it doesn't appeal to Makin either. Written at speed in the last months before war broke out, Cantos 52 to 71, known to initiates as the Chinese History Cantos followed by the John Adams Cantos, seem to him as to many of us wrongly conceived as well as sloppily executed. His dislike of them takes a special turn, however, when for the failure of the Adams sequence he blames John Adams, not Pound: 'What flatness, undifferentiation, the section none the less has seems to come from Adams. Both Adams's morality and his aesthetic seem negative, stoic, Horatian ...' I'd quarrel with this. The writings by Adams that Pound takes his scissors to can be shown to be repeatedly livelier and more humane as Adams wrote them than after Pound has performed his slapdash surgery. But in any case notice how Makin would bully us into accepting that in morality and aesthetics 'stoic' and 'Horatian' are self-evidently words of ill omen. A helluva lot of people through the centuries have thought them very honourable words indeed, as Peter Makin certainly knows. There is a brazenness about the manoeuvre which in an odd way I find engaging, as it is in the young Hugh Kenner from whom I would guess Makin learned it. But someone who so dashingly cuts his corners – he does so at one point about the iambic pentameter, and elsewhere (really rather deplorably) about the British Great War poets – has to be watched, all the more because he is trenchant, rapid, brilliant – that's to say, persuasive.

Although the paths can be steep and participants will cover more than 11 miles during their nine hour trek, the well maintained gradual slopes make this a great challenge for a range of abilities. We recommend uphill and downhill training before taking on this challenge to make sure you're prepared for this intensive day of hiking.

Happy Friday!
Today I'd like to share a fun card with you, featuring some stamps from one of my favourite companies - SCACD Stamps.
I used a stamp which was released late last year - SCACD Stamps - Eastern Dreams - Peaceful Warrior (also available as part of the Eastern Dreams stamp set). Absolutely love this stamp, in fact all of the "Mechanimals" Steampunk animals stamps are favourites of mine, they are so much fun to play with.
I stamped Peaceful Warrior on my favourite Make it Colour Blending Card before colouring with Touch Twin markers.
I also used a stamp set from the January 2014 "Montage" release, which is a collection of fun elements stamps. This card features Eastern Lanterns, available as a small set or as part of the full Montage Set #1 sheet. I stamped the lanterns with red ink on vellum before cutting them out and placing on my background. I then drew the string freehand with a fine-liner.
The background was created with inks and a Dreamweaver stencil.
Hope you have a great weekend! Make sure you stop by on Sunday to check out Delphine's latest card, it is bound to be gorgeous!

Rob Horowitz: Immigration Reform Moves to the Front Burner
Thursday, January 31, 2013
The bright prospects for the adoption of comprehensive immigration reform this year is a direct result of the 2012 election. President Obama defeated Mitt Romney 71% to 27% among Latino voters. Further, Latinos comprised more than one-in-10 voters in the 2012 Presidential election—a percentage that is only going to increase in the future.
As one of the leaders in this new effort to achieve comprehensive immigration reform, Senator John McCain (R-AZ ) said this past Sunday on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, "Well, I'll give you a little straight talk. Look at the last election... We are losing dramatically the Hispanic vote, which we think should be ours for a variety of reasons."
McCain was joined over the weekend in his support for comprehensive immigration reform by Romney's Vice Presidential candidate and influential House Budget Chair Paul Ryan (R-WI). This underscores a broad and marked shift by Republican elected officials who now realize that the harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric of this past year's Republican Presidential primaries combined with standing in the way of immigration reform measures are a recipe for continuing to lose national elections.
Both the bi-partisan Senate legislation and the President's proposal contain a path to citizenship for the 11 million or so immigrants here in this country illegally, enabling them to emerge from the shadows, incorporate the Dream Act providing a quicker and more sure path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came here as children, expand the number of visas available for highly skilled workers, and provide for tough border security and stronger visa rules enforcement, among other provisions.
The adoption of this kind of comprehensive reform—which sends a welcoming message to the world's best and brightest—would be a major step forward in ensuring long-term American economic competitiveness. According to Professor Richard Florida, author of one of the best books about what generates economic growth, The Rise of the Creative Class, immigrants generate 25% of our global patents and comprise nearly 1/2 of our science and engineering PHD's.
In a world where capital is mobile, the skills, talents and education levels of a nation's workforce are the largest determinants of standard of living. Given that many nations have caught up to or surpassed us in educational achievement, the ability to attract talented immigrants is critical to our future economic success.
Immigrants have revitalized our nation throughout our history, bringing new ideas and economic energy. And because "elections have consequences", we are poised once more to put in place the policies that serve our enlightened self-interest—making us a beacon to the world's talented strivers and renewing the bright promise of the American Dream.

I but some of these pellets in.22 for use in my Webley Spectre. What a disappointment. The look to be 'bashed about a bit' with bent skirts and some are well over size. The only redeeming factor is that they are cheap and may be usable if you have got some sizing gear.
Has anybody else tried these pellets?

Tom Twyker's smart, well-paced espionage thriller, scripted by Eric Singer, is by no means a perfect film. But it's the first to have wed the geopolitical worldview of LeCarre with the scathing analysis of international finance performed by Naomi Klein in The Shock Doctrine. "The value of a conflict," an Italian political candidate informs the hero (and the audience) shortly before he is assassinated, "is in the debt that it produces." This is Klein's theory of disaster capitalism in a nutshell. Political crises are no longer solely manufactured for purposes of regime change, but in order to enrich banks and investors. Of course, Klein's take down of the Chicago School and how it was played out in Chile and the UK is considerably more nuanced, but the film gets points for gesturing in this direction.
The extraordinary set-piece that dominates the close of the second act – a vertiginous shoot-out along the winding ramps of the Guggenheim Museum – is an act of audacious vandalism. Bullets spray, bodies dive, spectators crouch in terror while glass art installations shatter and fall through the rotunda's spiral well. The effect is one of playful destruction: a mockery of high culture values and pretensions and of the museum as a site of privileged voyeurism – not at all unlike a movie theater. What the melee destroys is not so much "priceless" works of art – those hallmarks of unique genius – as the economy of exchange that governs the art world's marketplace values and dictates our habits for consuming them.
The futility of the ending, embodied in Clive Owen's exhausted state of unshaven dishevelment, is that the System cannot be brought to heel. Individuals can suffer street justice, but they will only be replaced by others, just as ruthlessly dedicated to the bottom line. As Jameson, Arrighi and Harvey have dismally noted: the totality of world capital has become a kind of self-replicating nanotechnology: a planet-eater, in sci-fi terms. Only the planet in question is not material substrate, but the living biosphere of human labor and human suffering.

Another one of these "epidemics" which is targeting children in northern Uganda, is called "Nodding Disease"- named this by news reporters and UN medical doctors. It's one of the most ghastly and feared attacks seen. Under the examination and study of these "professionals," there is no cause and no cure for this disease. But we are well aware that it is a plan of the enemy to arrest, cripple and take captive a whole generation who has survived the war.
The manifestations of this disease are seizures, instant trances which lead the children off into the bush and jungle and into rivers and fires where they fall in and die. Over 600 children have died already of this disease already, and still with no "cause" or "cure." The Minister of Health in Uganda, finally admitted quietly after the last research trip, "this thing is spiritual."
The children affected, say that as the disease starts, they see unknown figures, appearing as short military soldiers, armed with guns, who have come to take them away. Then the symptoms begin. They lapse into trances, lose appetite, and quickly become emaciated. They begin drooling and are extremely lethargic. They begin "nodding" and some go into seizures. They can never be left alone; lest a trance or seizure throw them into a fire and they die. Sometimes a trance causes a child to wander into the bush, and they are found dead later. The disease can take a life within 3 days, or last as long as 3 years before a child dies of starvation or accident. Some are hospitalized and symptoms treated, as their little body wastes away. It's debilitating and terrifying to the whole family, and the parents suffer deeply with grief, watching their child slowly and sometimes quickly pass away.

When Gravestone formed in the late seventies the band featured Berti Majdan (v,b), Wolfgang Rittner (g), Rudi Dorner (g), Mike Schmidt (d) and Andy Müller (k). After their debut "Doomsday" (1979) the cast almost completely changed. With Dietmar "Oli" Orlitta (v,b), Taki Gradl (g), Rudi Dorner (g), Dieter Behle (d) and Andy Müller (k) the album "War" followed in 1980. After that, there were some further changes: Berti Majdan (v), Mathias Dieth (g) and Klaus Reinelt (g) now joined the band.
Gravestone came from Illertissen / Germany and played progressive guitar-rock of the harder but also very melodic kind. Its first vinyl was released in 1979 in a number of 1000 copies and consists of real innovative compositions, all created by the guitarist Wolfgang Rittner. They all convince by fine guitar leads, some of them, like the title-song "Doomsday" are real ear candy; psychedelic hard rock with a weird gloomy spacey edge to it and production that almost sounds like late 60s. Lots of long jamming parts and a few instrumentals. The bonus track is a cover version of UFO's godlike "Flying" song from their second album. (BUY IT!)

Southern tradition best describes the feeling you have when you hunt trophy whitetail deer on our historic plantation. Verona Plantation is managed exclusively for trophy whitetail deer. Come see what it's like to hunt these beautiful southern coastal whitetails in a variety of terrain settings from wide open soybean fields to cut-over pine forests and mixed hardwood flats. It is not unusual to see more than 30 deer in one field as you wait for that trophy to finally step into view. This is deer hunting at its best, southern style.
Verona is located in historic Northampton County, North Carolina. With over 6,000 acres of owned and leased land, the opportunities to hunt and fish are excellent. The highest deer densities in the state and the famous Roanoke River Basin make this area a game rich environment.

Pravda Junior: Marquette College Republicans Mimic State Sponsored Media
A new reactionary Republican propaganda outlet, The Warrior, has been created by a cabal of right-wing students at the Marquette University campus. Complete with faux victim complexes already, their apparent plan is to mimic the tactics of Fox News. Despite Republicans being in control of pretty much the whole government and media, these college students feel victimized by the liberals that are hurting them oh so bad. Initially funded by the Leadership Institute (the only thing they lead in is creating state supporting propaganda), The Warrior's aim is to react to their own fantasized perception of liberal bias in the normal Marquette paper, the Marquette Tribune.
A comical piece shows just how deluded they are in this weak rag on the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Read it and laugh. Lacking merit and self-respect, Editor-in-Chief Diana Sroka engages in a diatribe so trivial, one must conclude that her objective is simply to trash the Journal-Sentinel any way she can.
The ridiculousness of this article prompted the chief editor of truth > lies to fire off a rapid response, alerting Sroka to her own self-delusions in the hope of exorcising her soul from the grips of extreme conservative propaganda. The rapid response e-mail can be seen below:
Your story criticizing the Journal-Sentinel is hilarious. While point number one may be accurate (but is hardly relevant), points two and three are ridiculous.
In point two, you criticize the Journal for getting information from an unreliable source: your own business manager. Oh lord. I can't believe you even mentioned that.
Point three….hahaha. Although you may not mention in your paper that you are backers of the Republican party, it is pretty obvious from your statements on other blogs. You don't refute the Journal's statement, you divert attention to the fact that your paper doesn't say implicitly that it is a Republican paper. But are you almost unanimously Republicans? Only you know the truth. A truth-teller would have said, "Here is evidence that we have as many liberal viewpoints as conservative ones on our staff." A liar would have said, "The Warrior does not state in any mission statement or letter from the editor any affiliation to a particular political party." So just because you don't admit to something means it is not true? I see you have learned a lot from I. Lewis Libby, George Bush, and Dick Cheney.
You must ask yourself what you intend to do in this paper. Are you really trying to inform people of news, or are you trying to mislead people with slanted coverage. While your printed words (or lack thereof) say one thing, your actions are very thinly veiled.
So I ask in closing:
How long are you and your staff going to continue to embarrass yourself with this transparent charade of untruth you are putting on? The first step toward answering that question accurately is to be honest with yourself.
Hopefully, Sroka will get the message.
One Response to 'Pravda Junior: Marquette College Republicans Mimic State Sponsored Media'
I posted on Robola's site a comment about how St. Thomas also had a conservative newspaper funded by some outside institute. It was basically a diatribe-in-ink against abortion.
It is their right to have a politically-charged paper, even if it is filled with lies, as long as no harmful slander is occurring. The impetus is to ignore them or start a progressive paper with better ethical/truth standards to counter this rag.
In any case, there is little more than humor value in these types of conservative ventrilloquist-doll papers. Humor that they will clutch Ayn Rand's political philosophy with all their might to hide from the downfall of the conservative ideology that is occurring today.

Toyota Motors to bring a mid-sized sedan against Honda City
Toyota Motor is developing a mid-size sedan for the Indian market where it will likely take on rival Honda Cars India's City, the top-selling car in the segment. The development work has already begun and the car is expected to hit the market at the end of 2016, three people with knowledge of the company's plans said. It will be based on the Etios platform and is internally code-named Etios C or Etios Core, they said. The car will be positioned between Toyota's existing entry-level sedan Etios and the globally popular Corolla Altis. The decision was made after conducting several feasibility studies over the past few years, these people said.
A spokeswoman at Toyota Kirloskar, the local joint venture of the Japanese major, said the company "would like to refrain from commenting on any future products or plans". Toyota, the No. 1 auto-maker globally, hasn't had a good run in the sedan segment in India, though the Corolla has been a reasonable success. The Etios that it developed targeting India's price-conscious consumers didn't find many buyers. The hatchback version of the vehicle, the Liva, too hasn't posed any threat to rival models from Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motor. However, in the utility vehicle space, Toyota is the leader with the Innova, and its Fortuner sport-utility vehicle too, has been a runaway success.
For Honda City Expert Review Click here
The mid-size market comprises cars priced between Rs 8 lakh and Rs 13 lakh. The local unit of Toyota has never been to this market where volume has shrunk a bit but is still big — mid-size sedan totaled 1.55 lakh in the fiscal year through March 2014. The recently introduced Ciaz is Maruti's renewed attempt to capture the market, where Hyundai's Verna is the No. 2. One of the people cited above said Toyota is working on a potential annual volume of 40,000-50,000 units."This product will be a significant offering from Toyota since its launch of the Etios and Liva did not deliver the desired volumes. The company is hopeful that the incremental volumes of the new sedan will help it utilise the second factory better," this person said.

I really can't wait to show you guys today's post! This is actually the first time I did this! So awhile ago, we were strolling along Taft to find a place for today's outfit post. (para maiba naman) HAHA! We came across this "eskinita". I literally jumped out of excitement! It's really unusual to shoot an outfit shot in this kind of setting but there's always room for new things so I went for it. I just love everything about this place. I might even shoot my outfit shots here everyday! HAHA!
So for my outfit, I just went for something really tamed and relaxed. I'm literally squeezing every drop of teen blood in me! Even if I'm not a teen anymore, I will forever dress like one! So I just mixed this very comfortable blue jeans from Energie Jeans with a comfy printed shirt, sneakers, and a cap. Something really "On-the-go". What do you think? :)
Shirt from Levi's
Jeans from Energie Jeans
Sneakers from Vans
Backpack from Oxygen

I saw the same blog with the petals attached with pins. A hydrangea actually has four petals, not five. Don't know where the name came from, though. It's one of my favorite bushes. Cute headband!

This is so cute and simple (which is probably my favorite thing, when it's simple but makes a HUGE impact!) I just might have to make one for myself :D... I don't think my hubby would be too fond of our little boy wearing one :D

Hi there, this is a lovely piece. Could you tell me how you attached the finished hydrangea flowers to the elastic band? Was it sewn or glued? Thanks for your help. :)
- December 30, 2013
- Terra Sews said...
I just glued because it was faster. You could sew if you want the elastic attached more securely, but it might be a little tricky since you wouldn't want the stitches to go through the flowers and show on the top.

It's inconcievable. It's irrational. It's Winx Club airing on 4kids TV every weekend. On the surface, it's a cute animation about fairies, clothes, magic and boys. But under the flashy exterior, beyond the poorly written stories and superficial characters, are brow raising messages broadcasted to impressionable minds everywhere.
1. Girls! Don't think! Stella is in a life and death situation and has to figure out how to save herself and exclaims, "There's no time to think!" and plummets over a waterfall resting her hopes on a miracle.
2. Boys! Be stupid! Riven is chased by monster and goes through the proper course of action when in tough situations. When none of the above applies he "does the first thing that comes to mind" and jumps out a window which is located on a castle situated high on a mountain. Note: I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact the last course of action is actually a part of Redfountain training or that he survived the fall. It's never explained.
3. Men rule! Girls serve! It's very subtle. The Trix are hell bent on taking over the world and yet they end up serving evil male villians. Okay bad example but the Trix are the only ones who aspire to be more than a fashion statement or fairy queen. This is probably a better topic. The Winx girls don't have big aspirations. None of the girls try to be than they can be, strive to be the best at anything. Maybe it's unintentional but the show gives off the feeling girls shouldn't ask for more because only bad witches or evil people want more. All they do at school is look pretty and learn magic. And not strong magic because it's dangerous. On the otherhand, Redfountain boys learn combat skills, go on missions, and participate in tournaments involving dragons and hyperbikes. The girls– go shopping.
Yes, sir. Premium broadcasting right here. This Italian animation is brought to you by 4Kidz, the quality censor people.

Chapada dos Guimarães - City Guide
Visiting Chapada dos Guimarães
Chapada dos Guimarães is a small, tourist friendly town located on the tabalesands atop a cliff 800 meters in elevation above Cuiabá, and just an hour's ride from the Marachel Rondon International Airport. It has long been a favorite weekend getaway for Cuiabanos wanting to escape the heat of the the lowlands bordering the Pantanal. In the last several decades, eco tourists have been exploring the Cerrado biome in Chapada dos Guimarães. The Cerrado is the name for a type of savanna that is nearly endemic to Brazil. It is Brazil's second largest biome, and with over 10,000 plant species is the most bio-diverse Savanna in the world. It is one of the most threatened biomes in Brazil. The city is home to the 3,300 km² Chapada dos Guimarães National Park, with an additional 2,518 km² of protected land. In addition, Chapada dos Guimarães has 46 know archaeological sites, 2 Paleontological sites, 59 springs, 487 waterfalls, 157 km of cliff faces, and 38 endemic species. This as well as the quaint historic town squarer & handicraft fair, a multitude of restaurants and Bed & Breakfasts make Chapada das Guimarães the perfect trip supplement to a Northern Pantanal tour package.
Getting to Chapada dos Guimaraes
Chapada dos Guimarães is located approximately 70 kilometers from Cuiaba, the capital of Mato Grosso. [map]
From the airport
The most economical way to get to Chapada dos Guimarães from the Cuiabá International Airport, called Aeroporto Internacional Marechal Rondon, the principal airport of Mato Grosso is by bus as a taxi can cost upwards of 250 Brazilian reals. If you are traveling light, take the local bus Interurbana 107 Aeroporto / Rodoviária, the ride is about 20 minutes and costs 2.50 Brazilian reals. It passes regularly in front of the airport. In the case that you have a lot of baggage, you can take a taxi to the main bus terminal called Terminal Rodoviário Engenheiro Cássio Vieira de Sá, and the address is:
Terminal Rodoviário Engenheiro Cássio Vieira de Sá
Rua Jules Rimet - Senhor dos Passos,
Cuiabá - MT, 78048-610
Telephone, (65) 3621-3629
The cost of a taxi from the Airport to the Bus Terminal runs between 35 and 40 reals.
From the bus terminal
If you are arriving in Cuiabá by bus, be sure to disembark at the main bus station, Terminal Rodoviário Engenheiro Cássio Vieira de Sá, and not one of the satellite stations or the bus station in Várzea Grande close to the airport. The only local bus line that serves Chapada dos Guimarães is called Expresso Rubi, and there are departures more or less every hour-and-a-half from 6:30 hr to 19h00.

By Rental Car
As a taxi can cost upwards of 250 reals to go to or from Chapada dos Guimarães, renting a car can be a practical option. Since shortly before the World Cup in Brazil, the country has waived the requirement to have an international drivers license, and citizens of most countries can drive with a license from their own country and a tourist visa (if required) of a passport with an entry stamp. Most of the rental agencies are not within the terminal itself, but are within walking distance of the airport. Also, there are a few less reputable agencies that have hidden charges, or make false damage claims against foreigners credit cards after asking you to sign documents in Portuguese that you may not be able to read. If you wish to rent a car please contact us for more detailed recommendations.
Getting Around in Chapada dos Guimarães
It is interesting to note that Chapada dos Guimarães was once, with over 269 km² in area, the world's largest municipality. It makes modern-day countries like Switzerland with with 41.285 km², or the Netherlands with 41.526 km² look paltry by comparison. After the emancipation of Sinop, and Alta Floresta, some 800 km (500 miles) to the north, the municipality currently has 6249,44 km². That said, the urban area is relatively small, and the entire municipality, including the urban areas has a population of under 15,000 people. The urban part of the city can easily be traversed by foot where you can find restaurants, bed & breakfasts and some of the tourist attractions. The city is safe and tourist-friendly. For those planning a trip to the Pantanal with a layover day in Cuiabá, it may be worth the trip up the hill if only for the lower prices for food, drink, hospitality & conviviality compared to the rather impersonal business hotels in the area around the airport in a rather questionable area of the city.
