Cruising Hawaii's Paradise with Sheraton Princess Kaiulani
11 days with Globus Rating:
Day 1 ARRIVE IN HONOLULU.
Upon arrival, you are greeted in the traditional Polynesian way—with a warm aloha and a LEI of fresh flowers. Transfer to your hotel in Waikiki. The remainder of your day is at leisure.
Day 2 HONOLULU. EXCURSION TO PEARL HARBOR.
Begin with a tour of PEARL HARBOR'S famous Battleship Row. Listen to a narration of the dramatic air attack of December 7, 1941, and visit the USS Arizona and the impressive MEMORIAL dedicated to the 1,102 men still entombed. You will also have an opportunity to visit the MUSEUM, an excellent way to learn about Pearl Harbor Day, the Japanese strategy and military craft, and the individuals involved in the attack. Then, on to Punchbowl National Cemetery with its beautiful views of Honolulu. Other sightseeing includes Chinatown, the Hawaii State Capitol, royal `Iolani Palace, and the statue of Kamehameha the Great. Tonight is an included dinner at your hotel. (B,D)
Day 3 HONOLULU.
Today is all about independence. You're free to relax, swim, enjoy water sports, or laze on the beach. Take the optional excursion to the Polynesian Cultural Center for authentic island arts, crafts, history, music, a dinner buffet, and a spectacular Polynesian show with more than 100 performers. This evening there's an optional sunset cruise with dinner, Hawaiian cocktails, and splendid views of the glittering Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head. Your local host will have recommendations for the best places to shop and dine. (B)
Day 4 HONOLULU (EMBARKATION).
Your day is free before boarding your cruise ship, the Pride of America. Bid farewell to your local host. Once on board, there's time to explore your home for the next seven nights. During your cruise adventure, you will have the freedom to choose from the many amenities on board. Anchors aweigh! Ship departs at 7 pm. (B,D)
Day 5 MAUI.
Good morning, welcome to Kahului, Maui. The "Valley Island" has been voted the best island in the world. This tropical paradise has it all: hundreds of spectacular beaches, cascading waterfalls, flourishing jungles bursting with color and birdsong, dramatic volcanic craters, and charming Hawaiian towns. You'll agree that there's nothing on Earth quite like it. The next two days are free for you to enjoy at your leisure. Join one of the many excursions available, including a scenic journey through upcountry Maui to the top of the world's largest dormant volcano, Haleakala, or a visit to the Maui Tropical Plantation and `Iao Valley. Arrive at 8 am and stay overnight in Maui. (B,L,D)
Day 6 MAUI.
Another day in paradise offers you the flexibility to enjoy one of the many beaches that surround Maui. For early risers, consider an excursion to view Haleakala Crater at sunrise. This adventure takes you to the top of the Haleakala volcano, the "House of the Sun," rising more than 10,000 feet above sea level. Marvel at the crater's eerie, lunar-like landscape of cinder cones and ancient lava formations. The view is absolutely amazing. Depart for the "Big Island" at 6 pm. (B,L,D)
Day 7 HILO.
Larger than Hawaii's other main islands combined, the Big Island of Hawaii is spectacularly diverse in both landscapes and activities. Pristine beaches, curious lava formations, the Earth's tallest sea mountain, and the world's most continuously active volcano all make this island a completely unique adventure. The entire day is open to independent activities. You will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of shore excursions, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Rainbow Falls. Experience the 80-foot falls that cascade into a circular pool in the Wailuku River—as they hit the water below, rainbows often appear in the mist. Then, experience the fascinating drive along the 11-mile Crater Rim to enjoy a unique view of this volcanic landscape. Arrive in Hilo at 8 am and depart for Kona at 6 pm. (B,L,D)
Day 8 KONA.
You'll enjoy a morning arrival in Kona. Choose an optional helicopter ride for a bird's-eye view of Kilauea Volcano's active areas, ranging from surface flows to skylights to bubbling lava. After a brief return to Hilo's airport, you may consider taking to the skies again for an exploration of Hawaii's lush rainforest and Hamakua coastline. For those who prefer to stay a little more grounded, discover the historic city of Kona along Hawaii's beautiful sun-drenched Gold Coast. Your route will take you past ancient temples, fields of coffee and macadamia nuts, and breathtaking coastal scenery. Arrive in Kona at 7 am and depart for Kauai at 5:30 pm. (B,L,D)
Day 9 KAUAI.
Arrive at Nawiliwili Harbor on the "Garden Isle" of Kauai. With its lush, rural feel and a laid-back lifestyle all its own. Kauai is Hawaii's oldest island and, as first-born, has a legacy of paradise to uphold. A trip around Kauai is a feast of tropical forest, cascading waterfalls, golden-sand beaches, swaying palms, majestic mountains, and almost-daily rainbows. A full day of activity awaits your participation. You may choose an excursion to enjoy the dramatic natural attraction of 2,857-foot-deep Waimea Canyon and a ride up the Wailua River to the famed Fern Grotto. Arrive at 10 am and overnight in Kauai. (B,L,D)
Day 10 KAUAI.
Today is the perfect day to relax and enjoy the sandy beaches of Kauai or to shop for souvenirs before departing for Honolulu at 2 pm. (B,L,D)

Playing piano is very rewarding. Best of all, it is fun. An artist, who plays Beethoven's work on a grand piano, is an absolute wonder. It takes years to become this accomplished. With today's technology-enhanced pianos, you can create and play all types of music immediately.

Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla: The most powerful of minds, and the best of friends. Here, a captivated Sam Clemens tests Tesla's inductively powered incandescent lamp. The mad scientist lurks in the background, like, well, a mad scientist.
It's not terribly surprising that the two men were friends, since they were both revered figures in Gilded Age New York City, but it's endlessly fascinating to read about how these two men came to be friends—essentially, as mutual fanboys.
There's also a lesson to modern day science and tech luminaries: spend your famous friend currency wisely. [TheOpenEnd]

Hands-on: iPhone 5
Hands-on: iPhone 5
Hands-on: iPhone 5
Whether you are an Apple fan or not, we're pretty sure you've heard about Apple's latest iPhone 5. Hardly surprising news though - after all, the iPhone 5 has been a much talked-about device in the techsphere, even way before its official unveiling on the 12th (US time) this month. So what's the big deal about the latest iOS 6 device? We can't give you the details yet without first testing it and running through the usual hands-on 'shebang', but hey, here's a quick look at the iPhone 5. Don't say we didn't warn you but it will be pretty intensive on the pictorial side of things!
Apple iPhone 5: Notable Features
The main, or rather, the obvious, difference between the iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 5 is of course, in the latter's longer 4.0-inch screen. Otherwise, the design remains pretty much the same, with both boasting of a premier aluminium/glass exterior.
One thing that we also noticed - Apple wasn't kidding when they proclaimed that the iPhone 5 is very light, because it is. Holding its predecessor in one hand and it in the other, we could definitely tell the difference.
iPhone 4 photo comparisons aside, we also put the iPhone 5 next to its bigger Android competitors. If you are still uncertain about getting the iPhone 5, rest assured, there is a huge array of WP8 and Android alternatives for you to consider. Otherwise, here's a shot of the iPhone 5 next to Android devices with 4.3-inch screens. From left to right:
- Huawei Ascend P1
- iPhone 5
- HTC One S
We didn't leave out the bigger Android players as well, this time showcasing the likes of recent devices with 4.7 to 4.8-inch touch screens. From left to right:
While not reflective of an in-depth review, we managed get the iPhone 5 results for Geekbench, a cross-platform processor benchmark available for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, which will provide a rough indication of what to expect from its A6 chip and memory performance.
Not enough iPhone 5 content? Not to worry, there's always a video to wrap things up. With that said, check out our video below (coming soon) as we give you a closer look at the iPhone 5's form factor and a quick glimpse at the cosmetic differences and camera start-up time between the device itself and its bigger Android competitors.So be sure to check back this space for the video update!

This is a copy of a question from a (relatively) well known strategy thread authored by Phil Galfond. I thought it would make for interesting answers considering the format of SE.
From watching and talking to a lot of players, I think the answers to this question will vary a lot.
You are in an average 25/50 game against a good aggressive winning player.
5k stacks.
He opens to 175 in the HJ. Hero raises to 625 on the button. Folded to HJ who calls.
Now you get to pick your hand:
Would you rather have KJo, 75s, 88, or A2s (in order)?
Can you explain why?
How much does it matter?

It appears there is Ermine white mist over the firewall, the inspection marks are over the white mist correct?
Isn't the cowl paint, and how it was painted related to the PBT stamps since some of the cowl paint 'misted' down over the upper reaches of the firewall (to wit, James' post)...?? which came first? the chicken or the egg?
All great discussion & info on the PBT stampings but shouldn't this be separated into another thread for better searching in the future?

In this e-book we will cover the basics of prenatal nutrition, including what to eat and what to avoid so you can enjoy a healthy pregnancy.
Make sure you check out the last page for recipe ideas!
Laura's passion for the environment, global health, and maternal and newborn care led her down her path to become a Naturopathic Doctor and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). After completing a Bachelors degree in psychology, she went on study Natruopathic Medicine at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto. It was during that time she was introduced to Dr. Jack Newman's International Breastfeeding Centre and the amazing work they do to help families achieve their breastfeeding goals. Realizing Lactation medicine was the missing piece she was looking for in her training and understanding the value of qualified lactation support, she decided to enrol and complete the necessary steps to become an IBCLC.
Laura sees herself as a community mobilizer and humanitarian. While at CCNM, she was very fortunate to complete a clinical externship in Haiti at a birth centre through Naturopaths Without Borders. It was there that her desire to serve moms and babies grew, and where she saw the power of breastfeeding in decreasing infant morbidity and mortality. The clinical focus in her private practise is with women in the postpartum period, supporting their transition into motherhood, guiding them with feeding support, and promoting infant mental health. She has worked in Thailand as a private consultant and with the Bangkok Child Protection project, a UNHCR funded initiative through Jesuit Refugee Services, where she provided case work support, needs assessments, and health education to unaccompanied minors.
Laura currently calls Toronto home where she lives with her husband and their two young children. She sees patients part-time and develops online resources for new parents.

Re: Aloe juice?
Interested to hear anybody's answers with this ~ i too buy my own but I'm all for cutting costs and a bit of DIY haha.
Could you not just press and strain the leaves?
Could you not just press and strain the leaves?
Re: Aloe juice?
What are you buying it for and how much are you using? I have found some great deals buying in bulk on sales. In India I also just take the leaves off the plant and eat the gel. I take 2 oz twice a day with tumeric to reduce inflammation. You could grow your own plants but that would not work if you are consuming a lot of it. I purchase lily of the desert and also whole foods 365 in large quantities when they run sales.
Re: Aloe juice?
I used to grow aloe in the old house, you could cut a leaf off and squeeze the gel out of it, if that's what you're after
either way, it cant hurt to spend 5 bucks on a plant, rather than 5 or 10 on a bottle of juice

Re: Aloe juice?
Well the juice is like, juice... so I dont really know how to take the gel from the plant and turn it into the juice like substance that I've been buying at the store. I mean it has pulp in it, which I assump are bits of the gel from the plant but yeah, I'm at a loss for DIY still. I'll check out buying in bulk from wholefoods, and I'll probably get a plant to experiment with, good suggestions.

Re: Aloe juice?
Can you run the leaf through a juicer? I have seen aloe leaves at the hispanic market, but I haven't purchased them since I hadn't a clue what to do with them!
Learning how to be compassionate, gain wisdom, and love life.
Re: Aloe juice?
I just googled it... doesn't look too hard to make.
If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse.
Re: Aloe juice?
from when we used to grow it, it produced a gel rather than a juice, i think you'd have to mix it with water to get it thru the juicer
Re: Aloe juice?
I just read this. You may be interested... http://nutritionfacts.org/questions/are ... digestion/
If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse.

Conjugal Visits
From The Marshall Project
Why they're disappearing, which states still use them, and what really happens during those overnight visits.
Although conjugal, or "extended," visits play a huge role in prison lore, in reality, very few inmates have access to them. Twenty years ago, 17 states offered these programs. Today, just four do: California, Connecticut, New York, and Washington. No federal prison offers extended, private visitation.
Last April, New Mexico became the latest state to cancel conjugal visits for prisoners after a local television station revealed that a convicted killer, Michael Guzman, had fathered four children with several different wives while in prison. Mississippi had made a similar decision in January 2014. (more…)

Child severely burned in Middletown
Girl fell into can of hot water, witness says
A girl suffering severe burns was flown to Dayton's Children's Hospital Tuesday night, Middletown police said.
A Careflight helicopter was called in to get the 2-year-old girl for treatment as soon as possible, after she was injured in the 700 block of Curtis Street about 8 p.m. Tuesday.
The girl has burns to her arms and face. Police called the burns suspicious.
A police report states that the girl's mother gave different stories about what happened, but the mother's friend said she was cleaning a kitchen trash can and had it filled about halfway with hot water when she turned away for a moment.
When she looked back, the girl had her arms and head in the water. The friend said she and the girl's mother had tried taking the girl upstairs to the bathroom to run cold water over the burns, but it didn't help, so they called 911.
The burns were described as first, second and third degree.
Police were at the girl's home investigating the incident.

The Villages
On December 4, 1762, Catherine the Great issued a Manifesto inviting Western Europeans to settle in Russia. However, it was her second Manifesto of July 22, 1763, which offered transportation to Russia, religious and political autonomy, and land that incited many Western Europeans, mostly Germans, to migrate to Russia.
The first wave of migration occurred in the Volga River region beginning in 1764. By the late 1760s some isolated settlements were already founded in South Russia. Hutterites first settled in Russia in 1770 and Mennonites began to settle in Russia by 1789. Settlements in the Bessarabian and Black Sea regions were being established in the early nineteenth century. In the mid-nineteenth century the areas of Volhynia, Crimea, and the Caucasus were being settled by Germans. Beginning in the late nineteenth century and continuing into the first decade of the 1900s, settlements were being founded by Germans in Siberia. Russia had a population of approximately 1.8 million Germans at the end of the nineteenth century. An excellent series of maps developed by Mitch Roll illustrates the locations of the German settlements. To see them go here: 1700s & 1800s German-Russian Settlements.
There were about 1,000 German villages in Russia before 1941, when the Soviet authorities issued a decree resulting in a forced evacuation of the villages and resettlement of villagers to Siberia and the Asiatic Republics (Kazakhstan). Some villages and regions have more focused research than others, the result of the interest and activity of people working to learn about "their" village or region. Volunteers serve as Village Coordinators (VC) to coordinate research for individual villages.
Village Files are available to AHSGR members only.

Welcome on the website of the
As she entered service in 1977, the FINNJET was a ship of superlatives and for more than a generation, she was benchmarking the passenger travel between Germany and Finland. In naval architecture, in shipbuilding and in operation, she was predominant. Furthermore, she left a deep impression in the minds of many of the more than 5 million passengers transported by her and hardly any other ship has gained such a significant prominence and popularity in European waters.
In 2008, the era of the FINNJET was finally over.
For this reason, we, six former passengers and one member of the crew of the FINNJET, founded the FINNJET HISTORICAL SOCIETY, to perpetuate the memory of this outstanding ship and to gather a deeper look in her history, her technology and the human life on board. Our objective is to give documents and memories a stage for sharing them. Our interests concern also the history of the Hansa-route between Germany and Finland, the predecessors and followers of FINNJET, the shipyards, the operating companies and, widely, the ferry operations in the Baltic Sea.
Also we warmly welcome all FINNJET´s former passengers and members of her crew to join our society and tell stories,memories and join us to write her history down the way as you experienced travelling with FINNJET.
The FINNJET HISTORICAL SOCIETY is a non-commercial association, which was founded with kind endorsement of Finnlines Oyj, the operating company of the FINNJET in the first 10 years.

..:: Introduction ::..
They're calling it the most important platform change in over a decade. They're dishing out marketing lingo left and right, up and down, but is this new platform all they say it is? With the recent launch of Intel's i915G, i915P, and i925X chipsets, Intel has brought advanced Serial ATA features, PCI Express, Advanced High-Def Audio, DDR-II, and more to the computing world. If you've taken a look at some of the initial reviews that have already hit the web over the past few days, you'll know that so far, few have been all that impressed with the current performance benefits seen by these new technologies, as well as being disappointed with the lack of base for several core components that will be needed to upgrade to this new platform.
As a re-cap of our article published earlier in the week, Intel also released the new LGA 775 based Pentium 4's along with the i925X and i915P/G chipsets. Intel's new LGA, or Land Grid Array, 775 processor socket takes a step away from traditional implementations in that the package no longer features pins, rather the bottom of the LGA 775 processors only have small gold contacts. With the LGA package, Intel has moved the pins into the bottom portion of the processor socket, something that will make installation of the processor easier in that there is no need to watch for bent pins on the package…although it will make it more difficult as well. You no longer need to worry about bent or damaged pins on the processor, rather now you have to worry twice as much about bent pins within the processor socket itself. We've heard some horror stories about the frailty of these pins, and from working first hand with LGA 775 motherboards, I can say that these stories likely can be taken with more than a grain of salt. In order to properly install the processor, you need to vertically drop it in the socket. If you angle the processor too much, we have found a slight angle to be alright, you risk bending some of the tiny pins and then smiling with delight at your now useless motherboard.
LGA 775 isn't all bad, in fact it comes along with quite a few positive aspects. The processor can now deal with a higher amount of current flowing into it due to and increased number of power pins. This helps take the incredible current load off of many of the other power pins, and can help lower the amount of leakage, and also reduce some heat. Heat has been the primary issue with Intel's latest processors, especially Prescott. Herein lies yet another positive aspect of LGA 775. With the plastic retention mechanisms used on 478 platforms, as heatsinks began to grow in mass due to increased thermal requirements, the motherboards would begin to bow due to the mechanical stress placed upon them. The heaviest heatsinks where mounted through the motherboard, as this helped relieve and disperse some of the stress. With the LGA 775 socket, Intel has allowed for similar implementations to be used as a standard. Many found the 478 heatsinks to offer incredibly easy installation, and with this new socket, Intel has made this task even easier. But enough about the LGA processors, if you'd like more information, take a look at our initial review!
Now, before we delve into the depth of both the i925X and i915 series of chipsets, we're going to dabble into the prospects that several of the new chipset features such as PCI-Express, DDR-II, Intel's High-Def. Audio, and more. To start things off, we're going to take a quick look at PCI-Express, the replacement for AGP that offers a substantially larger amount of available bandwidth.

Aw, you shouldn't have.
No, really. I mean it. You shouldn't have.
If you take yourself at all seriously about being a "journalist," sports or otherwise, you shouldn't have been in such a rush to "break" a story that you neglected to put some thought into it. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!
Whether you're a hockey analyst or just picking out a gift, it's the thought that counts.
And with both Christmas and the endgame in the NHL lockout both just around the corner, maybe a review of this idea is in order…
A couple of weeks ago I noted some of the distinctions between pundits in the NHL and in the world of politics. But given recent events, it might be useful to take a step back and think about the three general types of pundits you can find on TV and how to tell them apart:
It doesn't really matter what channel you're watching on Sunday morning, but I'm pretty sure you can classify any of the pundits you see on this simple chart. They might be breaking down the day's NFL games or the past week's political goings on, but at the core they're either adding value to your understanding or they're not. This is true of all pundits and self-professed "analysts," in sports and otherwise.
So what does any of this have to do with the NHL, you ask?
Well, if you've been folowing the lockout on Twitter, it's becoming more and more apparent that the signal to noise ratio is pretty low when it comes to informed analysis. And while it's pretty easy to just tune out the most shrill because they have little to offer and they're just plain annoying, the shills are much more insidious because they carry the promise of inside information:
But as @jessespector put it the other night:
This is just my rough journalism philosophy, but level of access tends to be directly proportional to amount of soul you're willing to sell.
— Jesse Spector (@jessespector) November 18, 2012
And since a little plagiarism has never been beyond me, a picture is worth 140 characters (inflation, I guess):
Unfortunately, as with most deals with
Bettman the Devil, it's a Fool's Bargain:
As we've covered before, news is what they don't want you to know. Everything else is just PR.
Now, look, I'm not saying you can't have journalistic ethics if you have any inside access at all. All I'm asking is that you apply a litle critical thought to what you're told. Ask yourself why they're telling you what it is they're telling you. Who's interests does it serve to get this particular side of the story out? Heck, just recognize that it is a side; that there might be another side, that is just as valid.
What it comes down to is this: the only thing separating the made-up stuff I put in this blog with most of what passes for insider analysis on TV is the inside part. There is little journalistic value to either:
So, whether it's Mike Russo at the Minneapolis StarTribune breaking the NHL's internal analysis of the NHLPA's bargaining positions last week and being the conduit for the league to "voice" its displeasure at the Fehr memo to players the week before, or the undending stream of league PR disguised as Darren Dreger tweets, there doesn't seem to be too much critical thought put into the information from "inside" sources. Information that seems to be passed on verbatim most times. At what point do these guys stop being reporters and start being stenographers?
I mean where's the inquisitiveness? Wouldn't it make you wonder how a league that is willing to fine it's members and their staff up to $1 million for speaking out of turn could all of a sudden spring more leaks than a Vancouver condo?
Unbelievably, at least one of these guys doesn't even think a leak is actually a leak! Witness this exchange between TSN "insider" Darren Dreger and player agent Allan Walsh from a few weeks ago:
As we just discussed on Sportscentre. NHL advised PA it will absorb share of Make Whole provision. This is a considerable concession.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 2, 2012
Owners absorbing Make Whole is large step, however, agreeing on details on how this system will work will be a challenge. Still positive.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 2, 2012
The NHL's verbal offer to absorb some or all of Make Whole was made Tuesday. 3 days ago?? PA wants more detail before getting too excited.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 2, 2012
@walsha. Fair question. Did your clients know about this development? League made offer on Tuesday.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 2, 2012
@walsha. Nice dodge Allan. You call it a "leak" others call it reporting.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 2, 2012
Did you catch that? If you are passing on information you have been given, you are simply "reporting" it. Fair enough, though some might argue that the tone, framing and context used to convey that information can have a significant impact on how it is perceived. If all you're doing is conveying the information with the spin applied by your "source", then you're crossing over the line from reporter to press secretary.
And speaking of sources, if you can't or won't name them, then yes it's a leak.
Anyway, let's continue, because the next part of this exchange was even more telling:
@walsha. Shifting share from player to owner in a negotiated Make Whole is a major concession. Again, did your clients know of this on Tues?
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 2, 2012
@walsha. Nice try. I did speak with the PA.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 3, 2012
@walsha. Verbally, according to league sources the offer was made. Spin all you want.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 3, 2012
Got that? The response to the leak is "spin." The original report is always the baseline, the datum by which further commentary is measured against. Straight out of the Lockout Playbook. And you guys thought I was just making that stuff up.
Now one more bit of the exchange before we hit the punchline:
@walsha.I did. Said the PA wants more info before getting too excited. You missed it while trashing what could lead to real progress.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 3, 2012
@walsha. Huh?Wait on breaking news. Do I really need to explain this to you?
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) November 3, 2012
There you have it. When it's a matter of "breaking" a story, you might as well break whatever else you need to along the way. As long as you're first. That's what counts.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that there really is little thought put into these "insider" reports. I mean, the shortest route from the ears to the mouth, would necessarily bypass the brain:
Or maybe I'm just giving this too much thought. Making it too complicated. Maybe it's much simpler and @Steve_May is on to something:
we've found Bettman's new twitter acct [email protected]: Ian White calling Gary Bettman an "idiot" is disrespectful and requires an apology."

The 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup groups and schedule were announced on Wednesday, with Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium set to host Group B matches. This will be the fifth consecutive Gold Cup with matches being played in Houston.
Group B consists of Honduras, El Salvador, Trinidad & Tobago and Haiti. Honduras is currently in the final round of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
"Houston has become a top soccer city over the years, and BBVA Compass Stadium has emerged as an elite facility," said Dynamo president Chris Canetti. "Hosting a marquee event like Gold Cup is exciting and indicative of the respect organizers have for our city, stadium and organization."
Both Honduras and El Salvador participated in the 2011 tournament. El Salvador lost in the quarterfinals to Panama on penalty kicks (5-3), while Honduras lost to Mexico 2-0 in the semifinals, a game that was played at Houston's Reliant Stadium. Haiti's last CONCACAF Gold Cup appearance was in 2009 when it lost 4-0 to Mexico in the quarterfinals, whereas Trinidad & Tobago's last appearance was in 2007, when it failed to advance out of the group stage.
The Honduran national team could have some familiar faces from Major League Soccer in their squad. Houston's Boniek García, Víctor Bernárdez and Marvin Chávez (San Jose), Mario Martínez (Seattle), Jerry Bengtson (New England), Hendry Thomas (Colorado), and Johnny Leverón (Montreal) all feature regularly for Los Catrachos.
The Honduran and Salvadoran national teams are no strangers to playing in Houston and both have proven to have strong support from the local community.
Honduras played Peru to a scoreless draw on Nov. 12, 2012 at BBVA Compass Stadium, while El Salvador played New Zealand to a 2-2 draw at BBVA Compass Stadium on May 23, 2012. In addition, more than 27,000 fans packed Robertson Stadium in May 2011 to see a friendly between Honduras and El Salvador.
Tickets to all Gold Cup matches will be available to the general public starting on Thursday, March 21 at 10 a.m. by visiting www.GoldCup.org.
Group B schedule (time listed in CT):
Monday, July 8 – Red Bull Arena (Harrison, NJ)
El Salvador vs. Trinidad & Tobago, 6 p.m.
Haiti vs. Honduras, 8:30 p.m.
Friday, July 12 – Sun Life Stadium (Miami, FL)
Trinidad & Tobago vs. Haiti, 6 p.m.
Honduras vs. El Salvador, 8:30 p.m.
Monday, July 15 – BBVA Compass Stadium (Houston, TX)

For lunch I had a foot long sub sandwich today. It was oven roasted chicken, on "whole wheat"..but I'm estimating it was around 600 calories. That was the biggest downfall of the day. I didn't pack a lunch for work and ya know, big girls get hungry often. The only other options for lunch today were sushi or Taco Bell. The foot long won. Remember, no judging.
On Sunday, to remember Lise and Faith Palmer I went for a run. I only made it 2.5 miles, but I have been super sore ever since (pathetic, I know). Today I was feeling extremely inspired and, at the gym, I showed that treadmill who the boss was! There were a few hiccups (like the fire alarm and building evacuation that occurred at mile one), but I got right back on the machine and kept going. After 3 miles of really pushing myself, I realized that it was time to stop. My groin felt like it was detaching from the rest of my body. Too much too soon, especially with my newly-fat body.
I did everything I was supposed to do for The Challenge today, and I didn't even have a calorie overage.
I guess I still have to do something about my jiggly arms before bed. Ugh. Why do we have to have so many body parts?!
I already miss Cheeze-Its. 32 days to go.

The program is modelled on the providing of meals begun by St. Gaetano, our Founder in Secondigliano, Italy at our Motherhouse, which still continues today. Father Delegate, Fr. S.Antony Samy, wrote to his brother Missionaries in each of the Indian Communities encouraging them to set aside the funds needed to support this most worthy project telling them, "May our love and concern for one another in our communities and then to the neediest around us be a hallmark of our identity as Missionaries of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We ask St. Gaetano to intercede for blessings on our new outreach to the poor among us.

Tom Cruise says that he was as surprised as anyone when Katie Holmes filed for divorce last June.
"I did not expect that," Cruise told the German TV network ProSieben.
RIP Jelena and TomKat! Check out the most shocking celebrity splitsHolmes, with whom Cruise has a 6-year-old daughter, Suri, announced the split just five days before the actor's 50th birthday. The divorce was settled less than two weeks later. "Life is a challenge to be 50 and to have experiences and to think you have everything under control, and then it hits you — that's what life is," Cruise continued."Life is tragicomic," he added. "You need a certain sense of humor."Holmes and Cruise married in November 2006. He was previously married to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman, with whom he has two children, Isabella and Connor.
