Chris Long, son of hall of famer Howie has been the bookend of the St. Louis rams defensive line since being selected in the first round of the 2008 draft out of Virginia. A D-line much maligned since is coming of age this season in a team structure that has been renewed with new coaching, management and philosophy after their disparity of the later 2000′s. Paid better than his father Chris garnered a six year $56 million contract and has been a constant threat to opposing defenses. The question begs, does he live up to his pedigree? Father Howie, a pro-bowler at the same position with the Raiders was less touted coming to the Raiders in the second round of the 1981 draft out of Villanova, playing 13 seasons and gaining berth in 8 pro-bowls, named first team all-pro 3 times and second team twice.… Read more

Sony Vaio VGN-FZ280E
SpecificationsNotebook: Sony Vaio VGN-FZ280E (Vaio VGN-FZ Series)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7250

Reviews for the Sony Vaio VGN-FZ280E
Source: Comp Reviews
Those looking for a mobile multimedia platform for high definition video will definitely want to take a look at the Sony VAIO FZ280. While it isn't the other one to have a high definition video player built into it, it is one of the few that can also record to the Bluray format. Beyond that it is a solid system, but there are more affordable options if you don't want or need the high definition video format.
4 von 5, Leistung schlecht
Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: 11/04/2007
Rating: Total score: 80% performance: 40%
NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT: NVidia GeForce 8400M GT is the DirectX 10 capable successor of the GeForce Go 7400 for laptops and technologically a slower 8600M GS video card. Not suited for DX 10 games in high details.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
T7250: Mid-range (at the time of annoucement) dual core processor based on the Merom core. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. Nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.6 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Sony: Sony Corporation is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Japan. Sony is one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles, and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets. Its name is derived from sonus, the Latin word for sound. The company was founded 1946 with another name and renamed in 1958. Sony Corporation is the electronics business unit and the parent company of the Sony Group, which is engaged in business through its five operating segments—electronics, games, entertainment (motion pictures and music), financial services and other. Sony is a notebook manufacturer of medium size according international market shares.
80%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.

Don't be afraid to speak the truth – Ricky Gervais for calling everyone, especially the Hollywood Foreign Press, on their s***. Some people may not be liking him right now, but I thought he was fantastic (well, for the most part), and made the show interesting.
Don't be afraid to go after your dreams, however improbable - Paul Giamatti wins again. He's certainly not let his physical attributes (short, fat, bald) get in the way of him shooting for the top. He is an inspiration for us all to not hold back.
Remember to thank the people who are really most important – Claire Danes accepting for Temple Grandin. Behind the success of this film was a great human story, and Danes never forgot that. She did an impeccable job thanking Temple herself, for all the amazing work she has done for autism. Probably the most meaningful moment of the evening.
Knowing how to lose is as important as winning - Julianne Moore for being absolutely graceful while losing to cast mate Annette Bening. It doesn't get better than that. Moore was just the epitome of everything an accomplished woman should be, and it didn't feel fake. Julianne is a class act!
We all need some therapy, doesn't matter if we're super-beautiful and accomplished - Natalie Portman accepting for Best Actress. This was just embarrassing. No one needed to know whether her fiancé wants to sleep with her or not. That's private and personal and is a conversation best kept between herself and her therapist.

Earth in 1966
At the height of the Space Race, after the Soviet Union had stolen a march by launching the first satellite as well as the first man into orbit, the United States decided to set their targets on the Moon.
The famous Apollo 11 landing in 1969, which marked the culmination of this, did not happen in isolation. It was the culmination of years of effort, involving unmanned probes that orbited and landed on the Moon, as well as manned craft that orbited the Moon without landing.
The unmanned Lunar Orbiter missions in 1966 and 1967 prepared the ground for Apollo by mapping the surface of the Moon from space. One byproduct of this is a remarkable series of photos from Lunar Orbiter I, which are the first pictures of the Earth taken from beyond the Moon.

Advances in data processing techniques since then, as well as the availability of sophisticated computer software mean that even old data like these can be given a new lease of life.
In 2008, NASA reprocessed and re-released part of another of these iconic images. The differences are quite startling.

The scanlines disappear, and the contrast and resolution are dramatically improved.
Historic and archival data like this can sometimes still be of use to scientists.

On arrival we were in awe of the look of the place. The Resort is within a beautiful Rain Forest setting which you walk through to get to your accommodation. From your accommodation you have a short walk to all the amenities such as the swimming pool, relaxation areas and first class resteraunt with a service which is 2nd to none. Directly in front is the amazing beach with awesome views to die for. The sea is so clear and clean and like walking into a warm bath.The resort is impeccably clean from your accommodation to the private beach. Every detail in creating a beautiful place is done around the clock but does not interfere with your time there.The customer service is top notch and nothing is too much trouble. Anything you need will be catered for such as organising Taxis, hiring transport and trips. The resort has a calm tranquil feel where you can relax and trust that you have chosen the right place to be. The resteraunt caters for every palette and and the authentic Thai food is delicious. If its fresh food you enjoy from the Fruit, Vegetables, Meat and Fish you will not be disappointed by the taste or the look. The Cocktails are to die for and there is a great Wine list, but the fruit shakes are also a must. I know I ve already said a lot here but the most important point for you to know and that is that how great all the staff are. You will receive a fantastic welcome which makes you feel at home especially when you sit down for dinner. We left the resort and really felt like we made new friends and would go back in a heart beat (already looking at flights). If you are looking for a little piece of paradise on holiday with a company you can trust its at The Milky Bay Resort

Had some nice relaxing days in this resort. Stayed in a Family Villa, the room is very big for two adults and one child. The restaurant serves nice western food as pizza, but the Thai food doesn´t taste so good, you don´t have so many choices from the menu. The breakfast is very poor, you have to pay extra for one more cup of coffee for example. The small beach and the area is really nice.

I had visited this resort in the past when travel around and wanted a nice spot for lunch. We trvalled here on our first day of honeymoon and they instantly made us feel welcome. The rooms are nice, neat and clean plus the general facilities are fantastic ( pool table, table tennis, volleyball/banminton, free dvd s to watch in your room, steam room, onsite ouside spa and general great pool and sun lounging areas. The food was good and the breakfast came with a nice selection. They do an awsome braai ( bbq ) and make great homemade pizza in thier outside oven.

Beautiful location and very nice accommodation. Couldn t fault the staff, service or food. However, a local bar has started live music until 2pm, not sure if this will be a nightly occurrence but was all three nights of our stay. Had to buy ear plugs to try to get some sleep! Therefore have only given a 3 for location.

Upset Fernandez has European suitors
Updated: July 2, 2009, 10:26 AM ETBy Chris Sheridan | ESPN.com
Portland's pursuit of a certain player from Turkey has infuriated the Trail Blazers' lone remaining Spanish player, Rudy Fernandez, to the point where he'd prefer to play in Greece, Russia or even Spain again, ESPN.com learned Tuesday.
A league source told ESPN.com that Fernandez has already been courted informally by European powerhouses Olympiacos, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and CSKA Moscow as word spread that the Blazers had become the apparent front-runners to land free ...

No quarrel with Trindad & Tobago Integrity Commission – Kamla
- Jan
- 24
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said the same enthusiasm the Commission launched into the construction of TOP leader Ashworth Jack's home, they should do for the Milshirv fiasco.
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, Tuesday January 22, 2013 – Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she has "no quarrel" with the Integrity Commission after it wrote President George Maxwell Richards seeking its support following open criticism from the head of the coalition government in Trinidad and Tobago.
In a statement, the Commission made reference to remarks by Prime Minister Persad Bissessar that it had "an appearance of bias" as she campaigned on behalf of the Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP) during the just concluded Tobago House of assembly (THA) elections.
The Commission said "it views this statement with regret. Such comment is not consistent with the truth" and that "it must be emphasised that it is not, nor has it ever been, the Commission's practice to announce any matters which are under investigation by the Commission".
But the prime minister said while she had "no quarrel with the Integrity Commission" she has "merely voiced what many members of the public believe, that the Integrity Commission is inconsistent with the way it reacts and pronounces on matters before it".
She said the Commission, which is chaired by former government minister and newspaper publisher Ken Gordon, was "rushing to make public statements selectively on certain matters while remaining stonily silent on others of even greater public importance and urgency.
"It is for reasons such as this, among others, that public confidence in the impartiality of the Commission remains so low," she added.
During the campaign, Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar accused the Integrity Commission of being biased in the controversial multi-million dollar Milshirv deal, stating there is a stony silence on the matter which leaves much to be desired.
She called on the commission to clear the air on the Milshirv scandal as it reeked of corruption and backslapping, describing it as a "PNM (People's National Movement) family affair."
"Whilst the Commission was quick to announce and comment on the fact that complaints against the TOP was being investigated, there has been a stony silence on this TT$310 million (One TT dollar = US$0.16 cents) transaction, which leaves a lot to be desired and some may say reeks of an appearance of perception of bias by the Commission."
She said the same enthusiasm the Commission launched into the construction of TOP leader Ashworth Jack's home, they should do for the Milshirv fiasco.
In its statement, the Commission said that it would be contrary to its guidelines to announce other investigations which could be under way.
As a preliminary step, the Commission said it had taken the matter to President Richards, reminding that the members were appointed by his office in keeping with the provisions of the Trinidad and Tobago Constitution.
"He also advised that the Commission continues to enjoy his full confidence and support," the Commission said. (CMC) Click here to receive free news bulletins via email from Caribbean360. (View sample)

IF YOU'RE a scientist looking for a challenge, try working at a Palestinian university on the West Bank. It is probably the hardest place in the world to do research.
Just getting to your lab can be a trial. Travel restrictions and Israeli army checkpoints across the Palestinian territories make any journey uncertain. Some days you will not get to work at all. If you've ordered chemicals or lab equipment from the US, you'll be lucky to get them: the Israeli authorities hold back any imports that could be remotely useful to militants. As for fieldwork, forget it.
The Israeli government, which occupies most of the West Bank and Gaza, says constraints like these are essential to stop suicide bombers, many of whom have come from Palestinian universities. Yet they have allowed a kind of apartheid to develop in the West Bank and Gaza. A small number of Israelis living ...

Why February Is Detestable and What the Catholic Church Is Doing About ItBy
And so begins February, the shortest month as it appears on the calendar, the longest month as it is lived in real life.
Consider all the wretched things about February:
It has incessant cold icy winds in it. There is a reason we compare ungenerous people to ice and cold: It's because ice and cold fills you with a deep and abiding loathing of existence itself. That's what February does.
It has the Super Bowl in it. The Super Bowl never has your favorite team in it. Or when it does, they lose. And when you have a Super Bowl party, no one really watches the game. Or you do watch the game and it's a boring game. The Super Bowl is an exercise in disappointment.
It has Super Bowl commercials in it. Everybody loves the ones with the dogs and frogs but we dads watch in a knot of stress, our trigger fingers on the remote's "jump" button to avoid sleaze — and end up jumping too soon from the harmless ads, and jumping too late from the bad ones such that we leave the sleaziest image lingering in everyone's mind, reinforcing it.
It has Valentine's Day in it. Valentine's Day is to love what the Super Bowl is to football. It heightens expectations to impossible heights and then shatters them. Your wife's expectations will be equally crushed whether you forget to do a special thing or remember but do the wrong special thing. Your date-night expectations will be crushed because it's everyone else's date-night, too, and you will glumly sit for an hour in the blasts of cold air in the Olive Garden outer waiting room.
The Catholic Church, in that way she has, is trying to help out, though. The Church has added some positive features to the February experience …
It has awesome liturgical days in it. The Church does cool things at Mass every once in a while throughout the year, but it does cool things three times in February: You can get candles blessed on Feb. 2's Feast of the Presentation (Candlemas); you get your throat blessed on Feb. 3, St. Blaise Day; and you get ashes on Ash Wednesday.
It has Ash Wednesday in it. Ash Wednesday is genius. There are only three sources of comfort when you're in a bad situation. 1. Telling yourself it could be worse. 2. Pointing out what good remains. 3. Looking forward to the bad stuff stopping. February is a very bad situation, and Ash Wednesday brilliantly does all three:
1. The priest reminds you that you could be dead.
2. After Ash Wednesday's fast you start saying, "Well, at least I get to eat!"
3. Lent transforms February from "the stupidest month ever" into "The Great Countdown to Easter Awesomeness!"
So, there you have it, the Church is making an effort to sap February of some of its evil.
It's still a stupid month, though.
4 thoughts on "Why February Is Detestable and What the Catholic Church Is Doing About It"
J.M.J. Besides looking forward to today's Feast, St. Blase tomorrow and Ash Wednesday, I have always loved St. Valentine's Day and anticipate it every year. What an incredible martyr St. Valentine was! His Feast gives to us another chance to perform works of charity.
J.M.J. P.S. And how could I forget that I pine every year for another Feast in February: the Chair of St. Peter on the 22nd!
If your idea of date night on valentines day is to take your wife to endless soup and salad at the Olive Garden, it's no wonder that you end up in the dog house.
So much bitterness, Tom. It's as if you just are an unhappy person. I hope you find some happiness and allow others to find theirs.
"So much bitterness, Tom."
Poor Tom, even when he does not mean to upset anyone, he manages to do so.
I would love to know how Paulspr's mind is wired. That must really be "the" scientific discovery of the century.

The Panamanian movement for independence from the Spanish Crown began on November 10, 1821 with the events of the first call for independence in Villa de Los Santos by Rufina Alfaro and Segundo Villareal, which was supported in other cities like Natá, Penonomé, Ocú, and Parita.
The royal army in Panama City was commanded by Colonel José de Fábrega, a Creole from Veraguas. Isthmus patriots took advantage of this situation and won over Fábrega's complicity, as well as that of the patriotic societies and clergy, who contributed financially to the movement. On November 28, a Town Hall meeting was convened, where in solemn ceremony and in the presence of military, civil, and religious authorities, they declared that the bonds that had tied the Isthmus of Panama to Spain were broken. Among the leading figures in attendance were José Higinio Durán y Martell, Panama's bishop, Dr. Carlos de Icaza, Mariano Arosemena, Juan de Herrera, Narciso de Urriola, José de Alba, Gregorio Gómez, Manuel María Ayala, Antonio Planas, Juan Pío Victorias, Antonio Bermejo, Gaspar Arosemena, and Casimiro del Bal.
On November 30, 1821 the warships Trial and Revenge arrived at Panama Bay to seek out the rest of the Spanish troops. The Spanish captains José de Villegas and Joaquín de Soroa signed a peace treaty with José de Fábrega (promoted to the rank of general and appointed civil and military leader of the isthmus by Simón Bolívar) on January 4, 1822, representing the Spanish monarchy and the local patriots, respectively. The Spaniards agreed to nonaggression on the territories of the isthmus and the withdrawal of all Spanish Crown troops and ships from the new isthmus nation.
The lack of a budget, limited military weapons, and the insecurity of being a Spanish republic endangered the continued quest for independence of the isthmus. Therefore, a union with some of the new American nations was proposed, among them the neighbors of the Central American Union and the nation of Peru, which had been the Isthmus' main trading partner during the colonial period.
Nevertheless, in admiration of the leadership and vision of Simón Bolívar, The Liberator, and in consideration that the colonial isthmus had previously belonged to the Viceroyalty of New Granada, the Panamanian patriots voluntarily decided to join Gran Colombia, a large republic that encompassed what is now Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Panama.

Surf board size rack
Anyone know if you can change out the size of the rack on the ZFT4 tower to accommodate a surf board that does not fit inside?
On a 2012 x25
1 Attachment(s)
Don't know if you can, but as we needed at least 4 wakeboard racks, plus surf, we added one of these and it works very nice. Pops off and on in a few seconds each trip to lake and cover goes over tower with the "stub" in place without problem. We have ours mounted up top.
Sorry if thread bomb, but wanted to share our solution to this problem.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm mostly looking for a replacement for the swivel forks. I don't want to clamp something else on above. I guess Mastercraft is not aware of the thickness of most Surf style boards.
someone on here had a surf rack that mounted on top of the tower where the board laid flat. I would love to find one like that.
on wakeworld.com a guy was selling something similar but not the same.
love my 2 inland surfer boards. my blue lake fits in the factory rack but not the swallow.

I've got a problem with a VBA script that someone created for Excel. This script is supposed to deal with four columns.
A - Name of user
B - email address of user
C - A value of "yes" or "no"
D - A column filled by the script (more on that in a second)
Here is the idea: When the macro is run, it will look at column C. If column C says, "Yes" then it will send an email to the address in Column B, automatically including the user's name (column A) at the top of the email. Once the email has been sent to the address, the script will fill column D with "send" so that when the script is run in future it knows not to send another message to that user.
Here is the script (taken from here which may also include a better explanation than I have):
Sub Test2() 'For Tips see: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/winmail/Outlook/tips.htm 'Working in Office 2000-2013 Dim OutApp As Object Dim OutMail As Object Dim cell As Range Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") On Error GoTo cleanup For Each cell In Columns("B").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) If cell.Value Like "?*@?*.?*" And _ LCase(Cells(cell.Row, "C").Value) = "yes" _ And LCase(Cells(cell.Row, "D").Value) <> "send" Then Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0) On Error Resume Next With OutMail .To = cell.Value .Subject = "Reminder" .Body = "Dear " & Cells(cell.Row, "A").Value _ & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _ "Please contact us to discuss bringing " & _ "your account up to date." 'You can add files also like this '.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt") .Send 'Or use Display End With On Error GoTo 0 Cells(cell.Row, "D").Value = "send" Set OutMail = Nothing End If Next cell cleanup: Set OutApp = Nothing Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
My VBA coding ability isn't worth a penny, but from what I can see in that script it seems to make sense. Sure enough, when I have run a test the D column has populated with "send." But I do not receive an email.
This script is used in Excel 2010, trying to communicate with Outlook 2010 (both programs were open at the same time).
Can someone see an issue with the above script that I've missed? Or can someone think of an easier way of getting this kind of thing to work?
If anyone needs more information, let me know.
EDIT: I should have probably mentioned that I will be modifying the script at some stage so that it actually fits in with the exact task I'm trying to do, but for the moment I just want the "basic" script to work.
Also, if anyone has any tips for quick-learning VBA it would be appreciated.

ESPN NFL analyst: All about assistant coaches
So the Arizona Cardinals are not going to hire Andy Reid.
Moving on.
One of the more likely scenarios would have Arizona promoting Ray Horton from defensive coordinator to head coach. Or, maybe, Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy will get the job.
Either way, it would appear the Cardinals may end up choosing someone without experience as a head coach, which is fine.
So long, of course, as he surrounds himself with quality assistants.
"I think it's absolutely critical now to be able to procure assistant coaches," ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Thursday. "The head coaches have now become CEOs to a certain degree, and you better have rock-solid assistant coaches."
Jaworski notes that head coaches nowadays are more like CEOs of companies, men who need to delegate a multitude of tasks to those around them.
With regards to Horton, Jaworski said it's clear to see the guy knows how to coach a defense. But until he's actually been a head coach, the analyst said, you just don't know if he can handle the job.
"But when it comes to being a head coach, quite honestly guys, you just don't know," he said. "If a guy has not been a head coach, I always believe there's some risk involved."
Jaworski said "the unknown is a scary part" and that if it was up to him the choice would be someone with head coach experience.
However, every head coach was a first-time boss at some point, so sometimes it's worth taking a flier on a rising assistant rather than going after a "retread", or someone who has already failed as a head coach.
"I think it's incumbent on the front office of all these teams looking for coaches," Jaworski said. "They need to develop their philosophy first. What do we want to be as an organization and as a football team?
"And find a guy that fits what they want to do, or else every three or four years you're going to have a new coach that's going to come in with a new philosophy and a new approach, and you're going to have one or two good years out of those four but you're always going to be looking for a new coach."

Gerry Sandusky Harassed on Twitter
As you may know, those who spew venom on Twitter aren't the most-thorough individuals.
Check the screenshots below - aggregated by MassholeSports.com - of some interactions between Gerry Sandusky and his followers. That's right, the Baltimore sportscaster and play-by-play voice of the Ravens - not Jerry Sandusky.
Gerry Sandusky seems to answer each and every person who sent him vile wishes. It's summed up by this Wednesday night tweet: "Once again, thanks to all of you who help get the word out that Gerry and Jerry are not only different spellings, we're different people."
And we thought that was implied, though the sportscaster Sandusky has had to fight to protect his last name - forever ruined by the former Penn State defensive assistant and now convicted child molester.

This 1882 print by French author and illustrator Albert Robida depicts air travel in the skies above Paris. Click through the gallery for a closer look at the scenes envisioned by Robida.
The UpTake: Pioneering science fiction author and illustrator Albert Robida was obsessed with futuristic technologies. This 1882 print depicted the skies above Paris filled with flying machines.
E arlier this week, our colleagues at the Boston Business Journal reported that Woburn, Mass.-based Terrafugia plans to put its first batch of flying automobiles on the market in 2016.
It's about time. We've been waiting for flying cars for more than a century.
The Public Domain Review, a not-for-profit online journal that highlights largely forgotten works that have fallen out of copyright, recently revisited the incredible illustrations of Albert Robida. The French author and illustrator, who was a contemporary of Jules Verne, envisioned future skyways filled with flying vehicles.
The image that accompanies this piece—"Leaving the Opera in the Year 2000"—depicts air travel in the skies above Paris.

As if we didn't have reason enough to visit Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian duo Os Gêmeos ("The Twins") just gave us another. Their newest project, which was created with Pascali Semerdjian Arquitetos, is called The Bunker. The permanent installation was unveiled to the public January 31 and is intended to "unite the Brazilian folk art from the Museu Casa do Pontal with contemporary art."
We love the start of a new year; and not just because all the "New Year, New You" hype, but more so because it means 365 days of potential travel ahead. For 2015, to assist you with your own travel plans, we thought we'd put together a list of some of our favorite destinations to visit by month. Keeping in mind that sightseeing is typically an outdoor activity, we chose each destination based on its sunniest and/or its most pleasant weather months.
With the success of Airbnb and home exchange programs, it was only a short time before companies began to get even more creative with their home-swap communities. Crafted as an exclusive membership for designers and visual artists such as architects, film makers, stylists, photographers, and interior designers, Behomm is an invitation-only home exchange program for those with a similar love of tasteful things and beautiful homes around the world.
It's only been a few months since the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, but many travelers and tour companies are already planning their trips for the 2016 Rio Summer Games. VIP Tour Group, specializing in unique experiences in South America, has put together a list of all inclusive packages for the world-renowned event.
With less than 30 days to go before the World Cup kicks off, host country Brazil is in serious party-prep mode: sweeping up the shavings on new stadium construction, rigging up huge screens on the beach for public viewing parties, and preparing to welcome millions of visitors from around the world. Surprise, surprise though, while the US might not be as crazy about soccer (AKA futbol) as other countries, it was still the No. 1 ticket-purchaser as of April 11.
Everyone has a bucket list, seriously, everyone. And somehow we're always adding to them but rarely crossing things off…mostly because, who really has time to plan these things anyway? Well the good people at Black Tomato, a luxury lifestyle and travel service company, has made it easier to start checking off those boxes. Launching My Bucket List, the company has begun offering its clients a chance to fulfill their goals and finally take part in the experiences they've been dreaming about.
The stylish Jardim Oceanico district of Rio de Janeiro will soon have a new luxury property in its midst with plans for a Trump Hotel to open on its grounds in 2016, just in time for the Summer Olympics. Having worked with LHS Barra S.A. and Polaris Brazil to get the development underway because of their expertise on the surrounding area and hospitality, the property is expected to go beyond the normal scope of luxury hotels.
It's a rare day for me when I'm not dreaming about travel. Sometimes it's jet-setting to a small exotic island in Fiji, other times it's the city streets of Tokyo or to South American countries where dancing reigns supreme; whatever the daily choice, my passport is always close at hand. With the new year looming over our heads, many of us are making resolutions and lists of things we'd like to accomplish this year.
TripAdvisor released their yearly Travelers' Choice Awards and not only are they letting us know the best places we love to travel, but also where we're we'll be heading in the future. Along with categories like "Hotels for Romance," "Islands," and "All-Inclusive Resorts," they revealed their top 10 choices for what they believe are Destinations on the Rise. Fifty-four locations around the world made the coveted list after receiving positive feedback year after year.
Two of the world's most exotic countries, South Africa and Brazil, will be intriguing travel destinations in 2014 for travelers who enjoy extensive, pre-planned schedules. Travel services Audley and Elevate Destinations are making it easy to visit these countries with tailor-made trips to help tourists experience the local culture and venerable history.
Brazil is perhaps best known for its barely-there bikinis, but second on the list of Brazilian treasures would have to be its beautiful beaches. Kenoa Exclusive Beach Spa & Resort offers to help elite travelers make the best of that famed coastline with their state-of-the-art facilities. Instead of experiencing those beaches with other cooler-toting tourists stepping all over your tranquility, Kenoa promises to expand your journey, while ensuring your privacy. The Design Hotels resort was built with the surrounding natural environment in mind, using fragrant woods and calming colors to engage all of your senses in luxury.... Read More
It might come as a surprise to some, but Rio de Janerio was just named the worlds most expensive major city for a hotel stay, according to a new study done by travel booking site Hotel Reservation Service (HRS).

Peace Corps honors UTSA as top 10 volunteer-producing Hispanic Serving Institution
(April 26, 2013) --The Peace Corps has recognized The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) as one of the top 10 volunteer-producing Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) in 2013. Ten UTSA alumni currently are serving as Peace Corps volunteers in Armenia, Malawi, Morocco, Nicaragua, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Thailand, Ukraine and Zambia. A total of 75 UTSA alumni have served in the Peace Corps since 1961.
"I congratulate these Hispanic Serving Institutions for preparing students across the U.S. to make a difference overseas through Peace Corps service," said Peace Corps deputy director Carrie Hessler-Radelet. "Peace Corps volunteers reflect the diversity of America, and graduates of Hispanic Serving Institutions play a central role in building the agency's great legacy of service abroad."
According to the Peace Corps report, more than 8,000 volunteers are working with communities in 76 host countries on projects related to agriculture, community economic development, education, environment, health and youth development. After 27 months of service abroad, Peace Corps volunteers with four-year degrees return home as global citizens with cross-cultural, leadership, language, teaching and community development skills that position them for advanced education and professional opportunities in today's global job market.
The Peace Corps ranks the top volunteer-producing HSIs annually. Rankings are calculated based on fiscal year 2012 data as of Sept. 30, 2012, as self-reported by Peace Corps volunteers. Currently, more than 615 Peace Corps volunteers report they are Hispanic.

Hillsborough County hears Affordable Housing Task Force Study by Mitch E. Perry
In Hillsborough County, the average home price has gone up some 204% since 1994, yet average earnings have only gone up only 50% in that time. That wage gap is one of the big problems that is preventing citizens from getting get housing in the County (roll tape#1 o.q.â�and have not increasedâ�)
Thatââ¬â¢s County Commissioner Thomas Scott, who has served as Chairman of the Countyââ¬â¢s Affordable Housing Task Force for the past year and a half. Scott was summarizing one of the main problems with citizens in the County trying to find affordable housing ââ¬â along with the other factors that are affecting nearly every Floridian who DOES own property in 2006, such as and insurance and property tax hikes.
Today, the culmination of a year and a half of studying the issues with the lack of affordable housing in Hillsborough County were presented in a study on the problem that was presented to the County Commission.
Ann Williamson with the University of Florida, and one of the authors of the report. She explained the difference between ââ¬Ëaffordableââ¬â¢ and ââ¬Ëattainableââ¬â¢ housing (roll tape#2 o.q.ââ¬?in todayââ¬â¢s marketââ¬?)
Williamson went back to 1994 in terms of comparisonââ¬Â¦..She said THAT was a buyers market, with the average household able to more than than afford an average home.
That trend continued until about 2004, when there was a dramatic decrease in the purchasing power of the average family, making it no longer attainable to buy a home.
Williamson acknowledged a recent softening in the real estate market in the past year. But she said there is still double digit appreciation in most homes (roll tape#3 o.q.â�have low incomesâ�)
The Task Force also addressed renting as an option. The University of Floridaââ¬â¢s Ann Williamson said that if a household has an income of over $30,000, they can afford to rent out an ââ¬Ëaverage ââ¬Ë home or apartment. But thereââ¬â¢s a problem with that, as well (roll tape#4 o.q.ââ¬?1.97%ââ¬?)
Although job growth has been strong in the area, and should continue, Williamson provided statistics that showed that most of these jobs are on the low end of the pay scale, as is typical throughout Florida.
The rare good news in the study said that there should be more housing constructed in the area for low to moderate households within the next 5 years.
Commissioner Ronda Storms said that another way to make homes more affordable for people is to have the County Appraisor begin to give more realistic ââ¬â i.e., lower property appraisals ââ¬â and then for potential homeowners to take advantage of those lower appraised homes (roll tape#5 o.q.ââ¬â¢property taxesââ¬?)
Commissioner Kathy Castor appeared to sum up the problem with affordable housing(roll tape#6 o.q.â�over the coming yearsâ�)
Commissioner Thomas Scott insisted that this study will not ââ¬Ësit on a shelf gathering dustââ¬â¢. IN fact, the Task Force will mutate into an advisory board and meet quarterly to deal with the crucial issue . There is also talk about hiring a consultant to look at changing trends with affordable housing.comments powered by Disqus

The persecution slowly starts
First, cut out the conscience claus.
Then send money to fund abortions overseas, destroying the HIV program that has saved ten million lives in the name of promoting sexual hedonism.
Then pass a "health care bill" that doesn't promote abortion, but has a clause in it that allows the HHS secretary (the notorious Sibelius, who vetoed twice bills to stop half born babies from being killed) to decide what "procedures" are mandated by all insurance companies.
The latest: They are laying the groundwork to stop religious charities from "discriminating"
Sigh. I'm glad I'm in the rural Philippines

Gallipoli Bazaar
your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
I visited Bazaar last Friday and we had a fantastic, unforgettable time.
Even though we did not book a table the fit us in and welcomed us with a smile (which doesn't happen very often in other restaurants).
We ordered a fried calamari (yummy), cheese pastry and babaghannuge to start with.
We were recommended by the waiter to order iskender, which was very tasty and moist. I'm definitely going to have it next time! You can also try King Prawns and Tagine dishes, which tasted fine.
It was very loud and warm in the restaurant, but I guess it is hard to find a quiet place on the Friday nite, but the place looked great and felt really cosy, loved the lamps hanging all around the restaurant!
Excellent food at reasonable prices – we will be going back!

I used to live in Islington and the Gallipoli restaurants were always my favourite ones, visiting Gallipoli Bazaar after 5 years, I was amazed with the same quality of service and even better quality of the food,
I had Iskender and my partner had Bazaar special which is mixture of Kebabs and both of them were well presented and delicious...
The cocktail list was very good in price and origin, we tried mojito and cosmopolitan, the sugar was well balanced in mojito, which is A+
Although we weren't planning to have deserts, the staff offered us apricot with cream on the house, which was delicious...
Only criticism we could make were the coffee, which was under our expectations
i totally agree with Matt K's review and i don't understand why Gallipoli restaurants are getting such a bad reviews only on this website,

I'm not sure why this place is getting such a bad deal on this website. Yes, it's busy and yes, the food isn't amazing amazing, but they do a really good job for a really resonable price.
My friends and I ate there a few weeks back and had a platter plus wine for £18 a head. Although a few of the dishes weren't amazing, the majority were great and, for less than £20, it was a bargain.
It IS very crowded and they do cram them in, but the service is very quick and efficient, making it a great place for a quick bite before going out.
