The first rule of successful global investing — to paraphrase the words of New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman — is a simple one.
Never short a country with $2.3 trillion in currency reserves.
I'm well aware that bond king Bill Gross has been sounding the alarm about a China bubble, and that Forbes magazine is predicting a major meltdown by the Asian giant. I've also heard all about noted short-seller James S. Chanos — who made his name by correctly calling the Enron Corp. demise — who recently described China as "Dubai times 1,000– or worse."
Just yesterday (February 3), in fact, US stocks suffered their worst beating of the New Year on fears that new bank lending curbs in China might blunt the worldwide economic rebound. Asian markets also were down yesterday.
So what's really going on here? China is making its banks tighten credit. Some of the biggest banks, I've heard, have actually suspended loans for the rest of January!
Many analysts and media pundits believe this is the beginning of the end of the Great China Growth Story.
Don't believe it.

Substantial and unmistakable signs of profound change in the global strategic framework have become concrete in the past year. The stress in the structure has already developed into fissures. The transformation, in reality, has been underway since the end of the Cold War, and will continue and compound for at least another decade.
The balance of power is changing. Apart from the wave of globalization, which was really a precursor event, what is now emerging is the first truly fundamental change since the end of the Cold War, and, in global terms, it is a change which may redefine entire civilizational blocs. It is the most profound geopolitical change since the end of World War II, and part of possibly the most profound change in human history since the Industrial Revolution.
Within this context, energy is the driving physical factor.
It has been the critical physical component of economic, military, and social strength since the Bronze Age.
The Industrial Revolution, however, beginning in the 18th Century spurred an increasingly intense use of, and dependency on, more and more varieties and quantities of energy, culminating with the present situation in which no society can remain se-cure, or competitive, without access to cheap, high-volume energy. Given the present needs for energy, and the indicators of changing megatrends, which I will discuss shortly, the questions of how society will use and need energy, and, conversely, how energy forms and trade will affect societies are the vital components of economic wealth and security going forward.
One of the key symptomatic indicators of the change in the…

"Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting." – Yogi Berra
How did you do with the 12 questions in stock market quiz? We have found that most investors have quite exaggerated views about stock market risks, especially after 2008.
The bear market has created fear, much of which is completely unrealistic, based on actual market history. These exaggerated fears have seriously negative results for many Canadians:
1. Being too cautious during the great buying opportunities when markets are low.
2. Investing far too conservatively to be able to reach their retirement goal.
Here are the facts regarding some of the most common misconceptions and myths.

Jan. 27 (Bloomberg) — The Standard & Poor's 500 Index may retreat 20 percent from a 15-month high because stocks are expensive given prospects for economic and profit growth, Marc Faber said.
The benchmark index for U.S. stocks, which closed at 1,150.23 on Jan. 19, may fall to 920, said Faber, 63, who recommended buying stocks in March, before the biggest rally since the Great Depression. The index surged 70 percent from a 12-year low in March before dropping 5.1 percent to 1,092.17 through yesterday. The S&P 500's price-earnings ratio had jumped to 25, the highest since 2002, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"The market has become overbought," Faber, who publishes the Gloom, Boom and Doom report, said in a phone interview from Switzerland. "There isn't a meaningful improvement in the economy taking place. The economy may disappoint somewhat in the next few months. The statistics that are being published are very questionable. The economy has stabilized, but isn't really expanding."
Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy, probably increased at a 1.8 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter after rising at a 2.8 percent pace in the previous three months, economists said before a Jan. 29 report from the Commerce Department. The jobless rate held at 10 percent in December, near a 26-year high, the Labor Department said on Jan. 8.

While everyone awaits GDP data this morning, why don't we look at the best economic gauge you have never heard of:
It doesn't appear on any economic calendars that I'm aware of. It flies under just about everyone's radar. Technically, it's not a data point itself but a weighted amalgam of 85 other distinct economic data points, an all-in-one look at the United States economy.
And it does an excellent job of tracking the economy's health.
It's the Chicago Fed's National Activity Index (CFNAI), and it just printed for December.

The 12% Letter
I look out my window and see a large bank, built of sandstone. They've carefully landscaped the forecourt and there's a big blue awning over the front door. This bank is four years old, but it looks newer.
Inside, there's a neat row of teller stations set up behind glass windows that reach the ceiling. They have flat-screen televisions on the wall, tuned to the Bloomberg channel. Outside, there's a four-lane covered "drive-thru." There's room for 20 cars in the parking lot.
This bank must have cost $10 million to build and probably costs $1 million a year to operate. It serves fewer than 50 customers a day.
The problem is, this bank was built in a period when credit was easy and house prices were rising every month. The owners made assumptions based on those conditions, but conditions changed and those assumptions turned out wrong.
All over America, I see the same problem. Billions of dollars worth of bad investments litter the country. These investments aren't generating returns for their owners, and they need to be liquidated.
The liquidation process began in 2008, and it would have been near completion by now. Unfortunately, the government intervened and propped up these bad investments by making even more bad investments and encouraging everyone else to do the same.
So here I sit, watching the bank out of my window, wondering when the great American liquidation sale will resume.
Could the liquidation be starting now?
The market is overvalued in every metric I follow. Investor sentiment is uniformly bullish. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has fallen 6% in the last seven trading sessions, and the major European bourses are all forming downtrends.
Check out this chart of the Chinese stock market. It's entering a steep dive…
Meanwhile, the dollar is strengthening, and government bonds are starting to rise again as investors run for cover.

By Ian Woodward:
Last week was a bad week for the Stock Market – it has the Heebie-Jeebies, i.e, the Jitters are very apparent and of 2008 proportions with a 500 point drop in the DOW. This week can add fuel to the demise of the 10 month rally we have enjoyed since March 2009 or give us a renewed boost to the rally.
It stands to reason that Politics more so than Earnings will be front and center as we look forward to the vote on the Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, and the State of the Union Address by President Obama on Wednesday. The REACTION by Wall Street to both may seal the fate of the rally and bring about the Intermediate Correction that so many have touted for so long, or find a fresh move to the upside to continue the rally and keep the Golden Cross alive.

By Reuters:
The sharp slide in U.S. stocks this week portends more trouble for Wall Street in the days ahead as investors worry if the recent rally is sustainable.
With major indexes breaching key technical support levels on Wednesday, market technicians said Wall Street was likely to see the onset of a long-anticipated correction following a 70 percent run-up in the benchmark S&P 500 from March 2009.
"This is the beginning of a correction. It's been brewing for months," said John Kosar, market technician and president of Asbury Research in Chicago. "There's more risk on the downside than opportunity on the upside here until we get a correction."
Besides grappling with a deteriorating technical picture, Wall Street is also starting the new year with an even less reassuring fundamental picture as the Obama administration pushes to limit banks' risk-taking.
Additionally, there are concerns that China, the world's third-largest economy, risks derailing the nascent global economic recovery by tightening lending too soon to prevent its economy from overheating.

By William Pesek:
Government policymakers from Washington to Tokyo are tallying the bill for last year's stimulus binge, and the results won't be pretty for investors or elected officials. Since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, the Group of 20 largest industrialized economies have spent more than $2.2 trillion—much of it borrowed—trying to restore growth.
This unprecedented public debt glut will complicate the global recovery. That's because the government debt entering the bond markets will make it harder for private companies to issue debt of their own, either to expand or simply ride out the lingering effects of the credit crisis.
This so-called crowding-out dynamic, together with rising borrowing costs, will depress job growth. The more that small- and medium-sized businesses are starved for credit, for example, the fewer new employees they will add. The crowding also could lift interest rates for consumers.
That's the downside of a stimulus binge: It pumps up growth initially, but the hangover can be painful across an economy for years to come.

If you're a BlackBerry addict, you may have come across the White Screen of Death – this normally comes about after prolonged use, without turning the phone off. You'll soon know if you've got the WSOD, the phone will lock up and the screen will go completely white, bar one tiny error message. Basically, this message means that your beloved handset has died a little inside. If this has happened to you and you can't get it to pull back to the land of the living or it keeps happening then fear not because we have a nifty defibrillator on hand to kick start your failing Blackberry.
The only remedy for the WSOD currently, is to turn the handset off and take out the battery. Leave it for a couple of minutes before putting it back in and rebooting. Don't worry if it takes a while to re-start it's recovering, and will be back to normal in no time, normally three minutes or so.
If you've got a hard case on your BlackBerry handset, it can be difficult to get it off and the battery out, if this is the case there are applications dedicated to 'battery pulling' and will replicate the action of removing the battery without physically doing so. However, this doesn't work every time so the best thing to do is manually extract your battery from the phone.
In the mean time, the only way to stop this from happening is to regularly take out the battery or run the battery pull app – about twice a month should do it. That should keep you going until BlackBerry can find a permanent fix.

History of Kozhikode
Kozhikode, also most legendary as Calicut, is a city situated in the southern Indian state of Kerala. Kozhikode serves as the third largest city in Kerala and also the headquarters of Kozhikode district. Calicut once served as the capital of an erstwhile independent kingdom and later of the one-time Malabar District. Indeed, history of Kozhikode has much to offer to one`s platter of curiosity to learn more about this ancient city of seafaring wonders. Kozhikode is the third largest urban agglomeration in Kerala.
Kozhikode is precisely located by the long coastline of the legendary Malabar coastal region and the erstwhile referred Calicut does possess immense cultural traditions and lingo of its own; the city still is a trading nerve centre for spices and tiles and sometimes also acknowledged as the `land of spices`. The current name `Kozhikode` has been derived from the words `Koyil` (palace) and `Kodu` (fortified). The city found its idyllic place in world history when Portuguese navigator Vasco De Gama had discovered this very coastal region as a sea route to India in 1498. Kozhikode, as a result is presently identified by various names - the Arabs had referred to it as `Kalikat` and Chinese `Kalifo`. During the invasion and subjugation of Malabar, Tipu Sulthan had endeavoured to change the name of the city into `Ferozabad`. The city is immensely popular for its `Kozhikodan Halwas`, a sweet dish prepared by flour and jaggery and the traditional Muslim food, especially seafood cuisines made from prawns, crabs, lobster and shell creature known as kallummekkaya or kadukka. The present times, primeval monuments, tranquil beaches, historic sites, wildlife sanctuaries, rivers, hills, a distinctive culture and a warm friendly ambience, makes Kozhikode stand out as a destination very much in demand.
Kozhikode`s most profitable earning as a trade establishing region has made this a major centre of attraction for several countries. Thus, Calicut was long overpowered by various foreign powers and thus has taken on a unique cultural amalgamation, not exactly alike to its other southern Indian counterparts. Despite the mentioned western influences, Kozhikode still has been successful to keep intact its own individuality and thus is very much proud of its culture and tradition. Finding and further exploration of the very many places of interest that are unquestionably worth a visit, is sure to make a tourist`s visiting experience a memorable one to be cherished forever.
There exist a number of rivers and lakes flowing by the city. Chaliyar puzha, Kallayi Puzha, Korapuzha, Mahe River and Korapuzha are some among them. The city of Kozhikode normally possesses a humid climate with an extremely hot season beginning in March and continuing up till May. The primary rainy season commences in the first week of June and moves up to September. The most pleasurable weather is found towards the end of the year, precisely in December and January - the skies are crystal and there can be felt a nip in the air.
Kozhikode has played substantial roles in the field of education, agriculture, spice trade, fishing, ship building, sea trade, media, heritage structures, cultural arts and festivals and tourism. Well-known and respected personalities like V. K. Krishna Menon and P.T. Usha had made this very city of Kerala proud in the international scenario, hailing as they were, from here.
Kozhikode is home to two of the most prestigious and premier educational institutions in the country, precisely the IIMK - one of the seven Indian Institutes of Management and the only National Institute of Technology in Kerala, the NITC. Some of the other respected educational institutes in comprise, Calicut Medical College, Calicut University Institute of Engineering and Technology (CUIET, Government Engineering College (GEC), Malabar Christian College, Zamorin`s Guruvayurappan College, St. Joseph`s College, Devagiri, Farook College, Government Arts and Science College, Providence Women`s College, Government Homeopathic Medical College, Government Law College, Government College of Teacher Education, Kerala School of Mathematics, CEDTI.
Kozhikode, then Calicut and Kolikod, has served as an essential multiethnic and multi-religious town since the early medieval period, as it was the most decisive trading port in the Indian ocean. Indeed, the people of this very coastal city are one exclusive and matchless a bunch, that has gradually moved towards contemporaneity. Hindus make up the largest community, succeeded by Muslims and Christians respectively. In terms of cultural excellence, Calicut has played its much endeavoured role to the fullest. Intelligently sticking to its ancient ethnicity, the city has been matured enough to hold up to international light, its southern heritage par excellence.
To begin with, Kozhikode has made numerous significant contributions in the field of Malayalam language and literature. The district is legendary for its folk songs or ballads, acknowledged and unanimously recognised as Vadakkan Pattukal. The most well-liked and accepted songs amongst them are those which commemorate and extol the exploits of city is singing Mappila pattu and Oppana. The songs are composed in an amalgamated and compound language of Arabic and Malayalam. The famous intellectual debate for Vedic scholars to win the much sought after position of Pattathanam, takes place at the Thali temple during the month of Thulam. Kozhikode also possesses strong undertones and prestigious links with ghazals and football.
Kozhikode also offers an exceedingly rich array of culinary chefs-d`oeuvre, the aroma and smell known to have charmed and melted every historic ruling emperor. Kozhikode offers à la carte to suit every palate and need. Vegetarian fare includes the most scrumptious and delectable sadya. The non-vegetarian food offered in the city is an inimitable blend of Muslim and Hindu cookeries. Some popular dishes comprise the Biriyani, ghee rice with meat curry, sea-food (prawns, mussels, mackerel) and paper-thin Pathiris (a localised version of pancake made of rice flour) to provide accompaniment to spicy gravy. Another well-known and admired Kozhikode specialty even by tourists is the banana chips (deep-fried and/or dried slices of banana, treated with sugar or honey), which are prepared crisp and wafer-thin. The `Kozhikode Halwa` is very popular, even in the overseas market.
Kozhikode, or Calicut, as it is still pronounced in terms of transport and travel, is exceedingly well linked and connected with the rest of India by the three chief modes of travelling - air, rail and road networks. It has a smoothly linked and interconnected huge road network with the country, its major cities and the highways. There exists the short distance and long distance public transport systems, run by the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation as well as a ready availability of private transport operators. National Highway-17 links Kozhikode with the rest of the cities in Kerala and adjacent states. There are regular buses to Bangalore (354 km), Mangalore (74 km), Mysore, Ooty, Madurai, Coimbatore, Pondichery, Thiruvananthapuram (445 km), Alappuzha, Kochi (224 km) and Kottayam.
The Kozhikode Railway Station is located towards the south of the Manachira Square, serving as a sound rail connection with express and ordinary trains, connecting all the major cities and railway stations in India. The city is well linked with important places like Mangalore, Ernakulam, Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai, Coimbatore, Goa and Mumbai. Apart from these there is the Kozhikode Airport, situated at a distance of approximately 25 km from the city`s nerve centre. Kozhikode is connected in an undisturbed manner by flights to and from the Gulf countries, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Coimbatore, Goa, Madurai, Tiruchirapalli and Chennai.
In terms of accommodation and contexts of places to stay and reside while on tour in Kozhikode, a visitor can literally be spoilt for choice, with the array of alternatives to choose from the hotels and other lodgings. The standard, normal and budget accommodation options are available all through the city of Calicut, scattered in the central of tourist attractions. One can also opt from the high-flying executive and business class five or four star hotels, with price offered on request. Then again, one can decide on for the rather thrilling and adventurous alternative luxurious houseboats floating in the legendary backwaters of Kerala. Tree houses around Kozhikode forests are a present-day and indeed unusual attraction for accommodation, but quite popular these days for the tourists desiring something off the regular trod track.

Beans & Cornbread: A Soulful Bistro Restaurant Review: This 80-seat spot is done up in a sophisticated black, green and sand-hued palette and is decked with vintage Life magazine covers of the Will Mastin Trio, Coretta King and Diana Ross. It attracts not only crowds who grew up on Hoppin' John and fried chicken but also those to whom down-home dishes are a revelation. Chef John Arnold's experience in upscale restaurants becomes evident in dishes ranging from the meatloaf and baby-back ribs to the collard greens and country pork chops, which somehow seem more refined. Warm cornbread and bite-size sweet potato muffins accompany main dishes. Try the sautéed catfish with just-dusted crust or salmon croquettes in roasted red pepper sauce. And don't miss the candied sweet potatoes that hit just the right flavor note. Like to dine early? Then the $10 early bird specials Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. are for you. And, of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the grape Kool-Aid martinis.

After landing in Sao Paolo, Brazil, the Jesuit group traveled to Paraguay for a week-long mission before heading to Rio de Janeiro for World Youth Day with Pope Francis from July 23-28. Please see daily blogposts and photos from the trip below.

Day 17 – Tue. July 30 – Returning to Tampa
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 30)
We arrived in Houston from Rio de Janeiro at around 4:45am and took some time getting organized before our 6:55am boarding time for the connecting flight to Orlando. Most of our layover was spent going through customs, joined by many others also returning from World Youth Day. With time changes in effect, we arrived in Orlando around 11:00am, gathering at a nearby gate for Fr. Hough to offer some final words and a farewell blessing since it was the last time our whole pilgrimage group would be together. On our way to baggage, Fr. Hermes surprised us outside of the shuttle, where he was waiting with a few parents who were picking up their sons in Orlando. Fr. Hermes had returned to Tampa from Rio early on Friday, and he drove to Orlando today to meet us for our bus ride back home. After picking up our baggage, we boarded a charter bus to Tampa. The bus pulled onto Loyola Lane at Jesuit at about 1:30pm, where we received a large, warm welcome that included several local media outlets. Thrilled to see our families for the first time since July 14, our pilgrimage is now over, thanks be to God! – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Today we got up early to go out for breakfast and see the Christ the Redeemer statue before heading to the airport for our 9:00pm red-eye flight back to the U.S. The 125-foot statue of Jesus high atop Corcovado mountain is the most visible icon of Rio de Janeiro, and one of the most distinctive and reverential in the world. It was a particularly good image for us to carry out of Rio on our final day here, reminding us of the reason we came on this pilgrimage in the first place. It also was reminiscent of the 2013 World Youth Day theme from Matthew 28, of which Pope Francis preached at the Sunday Mass: Go make disciples of all nations. Unfortunately, Corcovado was so packed with tens of thousands of World Youth Day pilgrims waiting in three-hour lines that we were unable to reach the summit. But we got a great view and some photos just below the peak. We then fought our way through legions of people back down the mountain, headed to the school to pick up our things, and pushed our luggage through the uniquely small train and bus turnstiles that mark the Brazilian public transit system. The airport was a mob scene, but we made it to the gate for our flight to Houston okay, running into several American clerics and a bishop. Fr. Gamber and some of our guys also spoke with actor Eduardo Verastegui from the film "Bella" and his friend David Henry, who starred in Disney Channel's "Wizards of Waverly Place," as they waited at our gate. We boarded the plane and took off smoothly for our nine-hour flight to Houston. We are looking forward to being back in Tampa tomorrow with so many personal stories to share. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 15 – Sun. July 28 – Papal Mass in Rio de Janeiro

(Click here for the AP story about the July 28 Papal Mass)
This morning we awoke on Copacabana Beach around 4:30am to move our beds since the tide was coming in a bit higher than expected. We relocated to the sidewalk next to the beach, right up against the street where Pope Francis has been passing in the Popemobile every day upon his arrival by helicopter, taking a slow drive along the beach toward the main sanctuary area. This gave us our best view of the Pope yet, in broad daylight from a few feet away, and several guys got great videos and photos from this spot. After waking up on the street, most of us moved back to the beach, taking up next to an empty police tower in front of a television screen, where Jesuit High School of New Orleans shared space with us. As we ate breakfast, thousands of people who hadn't slept at the beach continually poured in for the Papal Mass which was attended by more than 3 million people, according to immediate media estimates. It felt more like 6 million to us, as we ended up crammed shoulder-to-shoulder and did not receive communion because the hosts ran out. However, we were deeply moved by the ceremonies and new musical compositions of the Mass, as Pope Francis preached on the great commissioning of the apostles by Christ at the end of Matthew 28. He exhorted us as disciples to do three things: Go forward, preach without fear and serve. Chants of "Papa Francisco" frequently interrupted the Mass. As the Pope promised to keep us in his heart, many of the pilgrims wept. Following Mass, we enjoyed a true "day of rest" as a brief Christian music concert featuring the various WYD musicians turned into a spontaneous beach party (remember that Copacabana was not supposed to be the original site for this Mass), with thousands of grimy pilgrims jumping into the ocean for relief after the night's fitful sleep on the beach. After several hours, we finally departed around 5:00pm as the beach started emptying, but not before Mr. Salai arranged for co-host Doug Barry of Eternal Word Television Network's "Life on the Rock" program to interview Fr. Hough on the beach about his experience at the Jesuit Pope's first World Youth Day. The "Life on the Rock" program with this interview will air in two weeks on EWTN. Our group went down the metro a bit for dinner and then headed home for small-group reflections, where everyone shared his final thoughts about how this experience has affected his relationship with God. Tomorrow (Monday) we hope to see the famed Christ the Redeemer statue up close before heading to the airport for our 8:00pm red-eye flight back to the United States. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 14 – Sat. July 27 – WYD in Rio De Janeiro
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 27)
Since it rained for much of the week in Rio, the hike and vigil at Campus Fidei were cancelled because it was too muddy. So we returned today to the substitute venue at Copacabana Beach, where we fought our way through the roughly 2 million people for a spot on the beach to watch the prayer vigil and sleep overnight. But first we had to prepare spiritually and materially for the vigil. After breakfast, we walked to St. Cecilia parish for a group morning prayer, adoration, confessions and Mass. Fr. Hough gave an exhortation on confession and Fr. Gamber preached the Mass. We then headed to the World Youth Day food distribution site just shy of the beach to pick up our meal boxes, which contained cans of tuna casserole in addition to various energy bars and other dry foods for our two days on the beach. Getting back on the subway, our main mode of transportation this week, we arrived at Copacabana to find the beach already closed for the Pope's arrival and people crammed along the streets. Fr. Gamber said the intensity of the ever-growing crowds here reminded him of the early Pope John Paul II gatherings in the 1980s. More and more people keep coming each day to see the pope. The 400,000 people who attended the opening Mass with the archbishop of Rio felt like a picnic compared to the 1 million people who attended the Stations of the Cross with Pope Francis last night and the 2 million reportedly in attendance for tonight's prayer vigil. We were too far tonight from the TV screens to hear any major parts of the prayer vigil itself; our only glimpse of Pope Francis came when he drove down the road in his Popemobile as we were waiting to cross over to the beach. There was barely a dry spot on the beach tonight, and we had to race back to beat others to a good spot far enough from the tide to sleep comfortably. Like thousands of other groups here, we built little sand walls to mark our territory, and those who were able to sleep went to bed in their sleeping bags on the sand. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 13 – Fri. July 26 – WYD in Rio de Janeiro
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 26)
We had an amazing day in Rio. It started with Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York City giving the English-language catechesis at a nearby Catholic institution we visited after breakfast. Keegan Hart '15 even got to ask the Cardinal a question about evangelization, while standing next to him, and shared his own desire to become a Catholic. The Cardinal warmly embraced Keegan, telling the crowd that he was a good friend of Bishop Robert Lynch of the Diocese of St. Petersburg. Mass immediately followed, concelebrated by Jesuit's own Fr. Matthew Gamber, S.J. and Fr. J. Patrick Hough, S.J., with assistance from Mr. Salai as an altar server. As the Cardinal drove away after Mass, our group serenaded him with a lusty "J-E-S-U-I-T" chant, and he offered our guys some of his M&Ms. We then stopped at Botafogo Beach for a little volleyball and relaxation before heading to Copacabana Beach to pray the Stations of the Cross with Pope Francis. There we found ourselves pressed tightly into a crowd along the streets, blocked from crossing to the beach by what felt like 2 million people, mushed together tightly by a surging wave of excited pilgrims just behind the first Station of the Cross. As Pope Francis rode by on his way to the main stage along the road, he surprised us by stopping almost right in front of us, even though we were many rows of people back from the actual street. In the excitement caused by Pope Francis wading into the crowd to kiss babies and shake hands, a woman at the fence passed out in front of him, being carried over by attendants and taken to one of the several ambulances nearby. Our students saw at least seven people pass out and receive treatment, perhaps because of both the intensity of personal emotions as well as the intensity of the crowd itself. Whenever the Pope passes people go nuts, breaking into tears and many fainting to be carried away by paramedics. Shortly after Pope Francis arrived at the main stage, the beach was reopened to us, and we poured onto it with tens of thousands of others to watch the rest of the Stations of the Cross on a big screen. The live stations featured a rock music version of Bach's "St. Matthew Passion," as dozens of altar servers swinging censors led the actors gradually down the road to the Pope's chair for the final meditation on the burial of Christ. In his homily, given largely in Spanish, Pope Francis called on us to open our hearts to the suffering of Christ on the cross, who suffers with us in all of our struggles from political injustice to family strife. After the Pope blessed us, a Christian rock concert ensued for the third straight night, with everything from Spanish and Portuguese hymns to the Canadian-American musician Matt Maher performing old praise and worship hits such as "Your Grace is Enough." What a day. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 12 – Thur. July 25 – WYD in Rio de Janeiro
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 25)
On our way home from Mass last night, we stopped at Vivo Rio for a Christian rock concert with other English-speaking pilgrims, running into 30 Jesuit scholastics from the United States who were volunteering at the event. This morning it was raining, so we headed back to this enclosed English catechesis hub for Mass with fellow Anglophile pilgrims that was preached by an Australian bishop. We then stopped for lunch at a buffet restaurant that accepted our WYD food cards and said goodbye to Fr. Hermes, who blessed the group before leaving for the airport to return early to Tampa. Fighting our way to Copacabana Beach, we waited three hours for Pope Francis' arrival, enjoying the beach and digging trenches for seats while different musical groups performed. When the Pope finally landed by helicopter, getting into the Popemobile for an 8-mile drive to the stage on the beach that took more than an hour, we crowded as close to the street as possible. He passed by shortly after 6:00pm, and the Popemobile was moving somewhat quickly at that time so our photos did not come out clearly, but we got a very good look at him. He seemed natural, energized and happy to be with everyone. About a million people on the beach crammed the streets to see him go by, then rushed back to the beach after the Pope passed. He presided over a brief prayer service and gave a homily in which he promised (according to our rough translation) that "faith is the real revolution" and noted that our faith tonight "was stronger than the cold" as the weather was a bit chilly and wet for Rio. The atmosphere felt like a combination of prayer and rock concert. Tomorrow the Pope will preside over the Stations of the Cross. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 11 - Wed. July 24 - World Youth Day events continue in Rio
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 24)
More and more people seem to be arriving each day for the festivities, and the subways are filled with many chants. The most common seems to be a Spanish chant that translates: "Here are the young people of the Pope!" After sleeping in this morning, we ventured to the World Youth Day vocations fair, where hundreds of priests and sisters were promoting their religious orders. The fair also featured confessions in multiple languages, a food court, tents with Christian pop music, a eucharistic adoration tent, a Brazilian Boy Scout ropes course and a playground area. We spent some time eating lunch and praying in adoration before the students were dispatched on a "scavenger hunt" to learn about one of the religious orders. It started raining heavily before we could break into small groups for reflection, so we boarded the subway and went to dinner at an all-you-can-eat pizza place that accepted our World Youth Day food cards. We concluded the day with Mass and reflection, resting up tonight for the first day with Pope Francis tomorrow. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 10 - Tue. July 23 - World Youth Day begins in Rio de Janeiro!
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 23)
There are a lot of people here. When we arrived at our lodgings late on Monday, there wasn't room for us at St. Cecilia as planned, so volunteers moved us to a public school called Profesora Augusto Motta. Today we walked all over the city, touring churches and World Youth Day activities. The highlight was an extended stop at St. Francis of the Penitents Church, the local Franciscan hub for World Youth Day 2013. In addition to being a museum and formation house, St. Francis of the Penitents boasts a magnificent golden baroque church that is around 400 years old. Several students bought trinkets in the shops and went to confession in the World Youth Day confessionals, which are white screens with the possible languages for confession printed on the penitent's side. These iconic confessionals are set up all over the city and are busy all day, with hundreds of pilgrims going to confession in multiple languages with hundreds of priests. After leaving the Franciscan church, we fought our way through crowded streets and public buses to Copacabana Beach, where we joined an estimated 400,000(!) people for the official welcoming Mass celebrated by the archbishop of Rio de Janeiro. English is distinctly the third language of this gathering, behind Spanish and Portuguese. We meet Latin Americans, particularly from Brazil and the Pope's home country of Argentina, wherever we go. It was a memorable experience for all of us to attend Mass in Portuguese on this famous beach, wearing ponchos to protect ourselves from the drizzling rain while trying to avoid the incoming Tide. After Mass, we found dinner at a nearby cafe and then made our way back to the school, where we settled down for a very deep sleep, excited for tomorrow. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 9 – Mon. July 22 – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 22)
We finally arrived in Rio this afternoon via Sao Paolo. We ate lunch at the airport, which featured a food court and World Youth Day "fun zone" for arriving pilgrims. Then we boarded a charter bus for a stop at Our Lady of Aparecida Church, where we will be attending catechesis and organizing an English-language Mass for pilgrims on Wednesday (July 24). There we met a bishop from Malawi, and pilgrims from South Africa and Nigeria, while arranging some of our logistics. Parish bells rang to announce the Pope's arrival in Rio, at which point Jesuit school president Fr. Richard Hermes, S.J., led a prayer in the church for our group and other onlookers. We spent the rest of the day driving around and exploring an energized, jam-packed city, failing to see the Christ the Redeemer statue because of cold, rain and fog that made it invisible to pilgrims today. An intersection near St. Jude parish provided an opportunity to socialize with pilgrims from all over the world. We ate dinner at a pizza place before boarding the bus (this is our only day with the bus) for St. Cecilia parish, where we're staying, for a very late Mass and reflection. Unfortunately, wireless internet is almost non-existent here, so blogging has become more difficult. But we will keep trying to transmit daily from here in Rio for World Youth Day. -- Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 8 – Sun. July 21 – Iguazu Falls, Brazil/Argentina/Paraguay
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 21)
It was fitting that our theme of pilgrimage today, Sunday, was the beauty of God's creation. In addition to celebrating the Lord's Day with mid-day prayer and Mass at the Jesuit retreat house in Foz do Iguazu, we visited one of the world's largest waterfalls, on the Iguazu River that borders Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. The Iguazu Falls, so named from the Guarani Indian word for "big water," are a staggering, breathtaking collection of nearly 300 waterfalls which make Niagara Falls look like a leaky faucet. As seen in Roland Joffe's 1986 film "The Mission," the 17th century Jesuits built several Indian missions in the semi-tropical forests above the falls, which tumble over the edge of the Parana Plateau, because they provided a natural barrier against the Spanish and Portuguese slave raiders who periodically set out from the colonial settlements of Sao Paolo and Asuncion to attack various missions. Seeing these towering waterfalls in person, the scene of a Jesuit priest's martyrdom filmed on this spot in "The Mission" now seems like a moviemaking miracle. After getting our tickets at the entrance to this National Park in Brazil and riding a shuttle bus to the falls, we wore ponchos for protection against the continual drizzle that fills the air, making it impossible to be totally dry. It was so cold and windy that Jesuit High School president Fr. Richard Hermes, S.J., briefly had a plastic bag on his head to protect against the piercing wind in the open-air second floor of our bus. Several students donned helmets to tour the waterfalls via a ropes course, while others took boats to see them up close. After returning to the retreat house for Mass and dinner, our evening reflection focused on gratitude for God's creation and the value of honoring it by attending Mass on Sunday. Tomorrow (Monday) we rise at 4:00am to head to the tiny airport here in Foz do Iguazu, where we will depart for Rio de Janeiro, via Sao Paolo. Our pre-pilgrimage tour of Jesuit mission sites is now over and we're heading to Rio for the start of World Youth Day activities. News reports indicate Pope Francis intends to use this week's gathering as a platform to discuss poverty and other social problems, making this World Youth Day a pivotal moment in the history of the Catholic Church. In our chaperones meeting tonight, Fr. J. Patrick Hough, S.J., covered all of our logistical bases, but we really have no idea how many people to expect in Rio. Brazil is 78% Catholic and remains the largest Catholic nation on earth, and this World Youth Day may be the biggest yet. Some media are estimating 2 million will be in attendance. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 7 – Sat. July 20 – Asuncion, and return to Foz do Iguazu, Brazil
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 20)
We spent the day praying at shrines and touring the Paraguayan capital of Asuncion before returning to Vila Shalom Jesuit Retreat House in the border town of Foz do Iguazu, where we had slept our first night in Brazil on July 15. Mass and reflection are an important part of the daily routine on our pilgrimage but today was particularly special. We were able to venerate the heart of a saint and a Marian shrine on our final day in Paraguay. Following our morning Mass at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School's chapel in Asuncion, we had a brief prayer service before the heart of St. Roque Gonzalez (displayed in the same chapel), with students venerating the relic in silence for several minutes afterwards. Then we went out for lunch and sightseeing in the city, giving everyone a chance to do a little exploring in Asuncion's historical and cultural areas near Independence Plaza, and also to run into a high-spirited group of 50 World Youth Day pilgrims from Cordoba, Spain, who were doing the same thing. It was a brisk, dark and misty day. We departed Asuncion in the early afternoon for a trip to the National Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Miracles of Caacupe, where several in our group lit votive candles for various prayer intentions. The statue of Paraguay's image of Mary is located at the back of the shrine atop a pillar where handprints mark the prayers of the faithful. Our group prayed a decade of the rosary before the shrine before students touched the handprints in prayer and reflected silently for awhile before returning to the bus. After a long drive with border checkpoints and other stops, we entered Brazil through Ciudad de Este, retracing our steps from July 15 and arriving for a late dinner of soup and bread at Vila Shalom around 12:15am. Around 1:00am we broke into our small groups for reflection, another important part of our daily pilgrimage routine that occurs before bed each night. Students have the chance in small groups of 10-15 to process and share the graces of their experiences on pilgrimage. Tomorrow we will visit the famed Iguazu Falls, which dwarf Niagara Falls in a way that their appearance in the movie "The Mission" only hints at. We will spend Sunday here in Foz, getting one last overnight sleep in the retreat house before flying to Rio on Monday. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 6 - Fri. July 19 - Ybycui Park and Asuncion, Paraguay
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 19)
It was another adventurous travel day as we spent most of our time on the road from San Ignacio Guazu to Ybycui Park, and then finally Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay. It had been chilly in the mornings and evenings this entire week, but this morning the Paraguayan winter woke us with particularly brisk temperatures in the 40s, and the day never got much warmer than the 50s. We started with morning Mass at San Ignacio Guazu Church concelebrated by Fr. Charlie Thibodeaux, S.J., a Louisiana Cajun who has been working with Guarani Indians in the Jesuit missions of Paraguay since 1980. After Fr. Thibodeaux spoke briefly to our group about his work, Fr. Richard Hermes, S.J., the Jesuit High School president, preached Mass. The Jesuit mission gave us some empanadas for brunch as we boarded our now-familiar charter bus once again for a 3.5-hour drive to Ybycui Park. At Ybycui Park we hiked through the woods to a beautiful waterfall, where the students and alumni chaperones enjoyed a nice cold swim that felt wonderful after such a long time in the bus. Following our afternoon hike, we drove for several more hours, stopping for dinner outside of Asuncion and finally arriving at the Jesuit high school here (Cristo Rey) at around 9:00pm. Tomorrow morning (July 20) we will attend Mass in the school chapel, where we will see the heart of Jesuit martyr St. Roque Gonzalez in a reliquary, and then tour the nation's capital for a bit before lunch and the drive back to Brazil. We are nearly done touring the Jesuit missions, ruins and works of Paraguay. Spirits on the bus were high after the waterfall, with a lot of games and student bonding sessions in full swing, and our evening reflection periods are growing spiritually deeper. World Youth Day feels like it's just around the corner. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 5 - Thur. July 18 - San Ignacio Guazu, Paraguay
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 18)
We spent today in various activities in San Ignacio Guazu, an active Jesuit mission settlement and village that shares its name with the Jesuit parish here. In the morning, we toured the museum at the old mission and celebrated Mass at San Ignacio Guazu Church. Then we split up to explore the village and get lunch. After lunch, the Tampa Jesuit students played soccer with some kids at the mission, and then walked down the street to the village soccer stadium for an international soccer tournament with teams from Paraguay and Chile. We fielded two teams -- and lost every game and did not score once! Our South American opponents seemed to play much harder, but the Tampa Jesuit students were able to socialize with several of the Paraguayans and Chileans, the latter being the same group of Jesuit high school pilgrims we met on our arrival here for dinner the night before. Following the soccer tournament, we dined as a large group in a village restaurant and then returned to San Ignacio Guazu Church for an Adoration service, with confessions and benediction. Tonight our group spends its second and final evening sleeping on the floor at a school near the Jesuit residence and retreat house here. Tomorrow we head into Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay. – Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 4 - Wed. July 17 - Jesus de Tavartangue, Paraguay
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 17)
Today we had our first full day to see the ruins of the Jesuit missions in Paraguay (called "reducciones" or "reductions" in English) and to meet some of the Guarani Indians who continue to live in surrounding villages since the dissolution of the missions nearly 300 years ago. We started the day with a visit to the ruins of Jesus de Tavartangue, a mission the Jesuits ran for nearly a century before being forced to abandon it in 1767 when the Spanish government kicked our Order out of Paraguay. Coming from Spain and Portugal, the Jesuits first learned the Guarani language from Indian children, and then invited the semi-nomadic Indians to leave the forests in order to build these missions. Each mission had a staff of two Jesuit priests and about 5,000 Indians, who were drawn to live with the Jesuits by their willingness to promote cultural dialogue, and by the safety the missions offered to the Indians from the "bandeirantes" or slave raiders -- European colonists who periodically swept into the Jesuit missions from the colonial towns of Sao Paolo and Asuncion to round up Guarani Indians as slaves. Despite watch towers and other defenses erected by the Jesuits, the colonists frequently attacked and destroyed the missions. After an extensive tour of the Jesus de Tavartangue mission ruins provided by a guide from the "ruta" museum group, Jesuit president Fr. Richard Hermes, S.J., celebrated Mass for our group on the altar of the ruined church, offering his thoughts on the work of the missions here. We then hiked for five miles through unmarked dirt roads and trails, following a local guide to an anonymous Guarani Indian village deep in the interior. There we met the cacique (chief) of the village, purchased some trinkets and played soccer with the village children (and donated the balls to them). We then crossed a stream on a log bridge with wire guide that led us out of the village, and we returned to the Trinidade mission (which we saw last night) for lunch and a prayerful period of reflection on the sacrifices we make for Christ as Christians in light of the missionaries' sacrifices here. As darkness fell around 7:00pm, we boarded our charter bus and drove to St. Ignatius mission near Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay, where we encountered a fiesta with bread roasted over open fires for dinner and a festive dance underway. St. Ignatius is an active Jesuit mission to the Guarani Indians with a parish, retreat house and novitiate (training center for Jesuit seminarians) that Jesuit High School of Tampa has supported in recent years through our mission drive. We are staying at the Jesuit school here for the next few nights, with some of the Jesuits staying in the Jesuit community. At the fiesta we met Fr. Charlie Thibodeaux, S.J., a Jesuit priest from Louisiana who has been working in the mission here since 1980. We also met a group of 35 students from three Jesuit high schools in Chile who are likewise here for World Youth Day, along with a Jesuit priest and a Jesuit scholastic who are chaperoning them. Our group had a chance to try out their Spanish with the Jesuit novices, high school students and girls from the mission here who were helping roast the dinner over the spit. Hopefully our Spanish will continue to improve over the next few days; it should be easier than the Portuguese we will be hearing more often in Rio next week. However, the Chilean pilgrims have informed us that the Spanish here is difficult even for them, as it includes many Guarani words and slang. Several of our students are becoming adept at the use of body language in communicating with the locals. The scheduled trips to Encarcio cathedral and San Cosme mission did not happen because we had to adjust our schedule around our travel delays on July 16 (yesterday). Tomorrow, July 18, we will spend the day interacting with people here at the San Ignacio Guazu mission near Asuncion. -- Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 3 - Tue. July 16 - Heading to Paraguay
(Click here for a photo gallery from July 14-15-16)
Today we spent more than 12 hours driving from Brazil through Paraguay to see Jesuit ruins, which were well worth the wait after our bus got lost and delayed us for a couple hours. The day's journey began at 1:30am this morning, when our GOL Airlines flight from Sao Paolo landed at Foz do Iquazu (Brazil) near the Paraguayan border, where we boarded a charter bus and tumbled into bed at the local Jesuit retreat house after a light snack. We slept four to a room in little box beds from 2:30 - 9:00am, when the retreat house staff gave us a continental breakfast and we boarded the bus again for Paraguay. On the Paraguayan side of the border crossing we got off the bus to get our visas stamped. Then our first stop was a rental car agency to get a truck since our bus wasn't big enough for the whole group. After lunching at a little cafe en route, we became lost as we neared our destination at the Parque Manantial and Trinidade reduction, a rural area with very few people or businesses. We finally arrived at the Jesuit ruins of the Trinidade reduction, the oldest intact mission ruins, well after dark but in time for a 7:30pm "light show" tour of the grounds. After a long day of fatigue and hunger, we were very moved to join a tour of the ruins, learning how the 16th century Jesuits carved a mission out of the wild landscape and drew 5,000 Indians to live in a settlement there that was later given up when the Jesuits were expelled in 1775 due to government politics. After the light show, we checked in at the Parque Manantial resort, where the students would be bunking on the floor in cabins. Pizza dinner and reflection with Mass brightened everyone's spirits. We are all tired but excited about our planned trip to the Cathedral in Encarnacio and the San Cosme mission tomorrow, as we begin to learn about the Jesuit mission presence to the Guarani Indians that continues to this very day. -- Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 2 - Mon. July 15 - Pateo do Collegio, Sao Paolo, Brazil
Today we spent our first full day in South America, walking and sightseeing in Sao Paolo, Brazil, which we learned was named and founded by the Jesuits. First, we landed in Sao Paolo after 8am, the local time being one hour ahead of Tampa time, and we then boarded a chartered bus for the city center. We met up with Mr. Joe Hill, S.J., a Jesuit scholastic studying Theology in Belo Horizante, and with groups from Jesuit New Orleans and Brophy Jesuit Prep in Phoenix, for a tour of the Jesuit museum and Mass around noon. We venerated relics of Blessed Jose Anchieta, one of the most important Jesuits of the mission in Brazil. Portuguese Jesuits founded the original settlement here around 450 years ago and named it after Saint Paul (San Paolo) for whom they offered a Mass dedicating the town. We had lunch at a city market and dinner at the food court of a city park, meeting up with enthusiastic groups of World Youth Day pilgrims from Venezuela and other places, who hung around with us for a while. We are waiting to board our flight for Foz da Iguazu at 11:00pm and spend the night at a Jesuit retreat house there near the Paraguayan border. When we arrive there sometime early this morning, we hope to bathe there for the first time in South America, which the natives highly recommend to us. Tomorrow morning we leave for a four-hour chartered drive to the Jesuit missions in the Paraguayan jungle. If you've seen the movie, The Mission, with Robert DeNiro, you'll have some idea of the areas we will be visiting this week, including Iguazu Falls, and the city of Asuncion. Internet connectivity and charging outlets are highly limited and we do not know how often we will be able to blog once we are out there. -- Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Day 1 - Sun. July 14 - Departure
Following a solemn Mass and blessing with parents at 10:00am, our group of 52, including 47 student pilgrims, loaded the bus for Orlando to board an afternoon flight to Washington, D.C. Everyone ate lunch on the bus and spirits are high. We will plan to eat dinner in the D.C. airport before connecting on an overnight flight to Brazil. Please keep us in your prayers. -- Mr. Sean Salai, S.J.

Please select the bikes for comparison and click the Compare button.
Please note that you can only compare like for like bikes listed above.
The Raleigh Revenio 3 is the ideal sportive road bike and features the outstanding Shimano 105 10 speed gearset.
The Revenio Road bikes blend technology, performance and design to create the perfect endurance road bike. Our new RE2P (Relaxed Ergonomic Effective Position) geometry creates a more confident, upright position that reduces body stress and fatigue to achieve an overall increase in performance. The taller head tube allows for a more upright riding position The shorter top tube reduces the reach necessary to achieve a proper extension
and balance over the bike. Longer chainstays increase the wheelbase for predictable cornering. A lower bottom bracket provides a reduced centre of gravity for enhanced stability and improved handling.
Revenio Alloy
The new Revenio Aluminium bikes feature the 6061 T6 heat-treated Atomic 13 SL butted frameset. Each tube is manipulated to provide the optimal form for function to produce a bike that is light and comfortable. All three models feature carbon fibre bladed forks to absorb road buzz and provide confident predictable handling.
There are many options available and selecting the correct type of bike is important. First you must decide what your requirements are and the type of riding you will be doing. This will determine which type of bike is right for you. There are many types of bike available for every day use, recreational leisure or specific disciplines.
You must sit on a bike to ensure it is comfortable. This will allow you to judge the reach and if your feet can touch the ground comfortably on both sides. Specific frame geometries and components will affect the riding position and adjustment.
This covers many products but generally you choose between hard tails and full suspension. Hard tail bikes have rigid frames and a suspension front fork whereas a full suspension bike incorporates rear suspension. Off-Road bikes are versatile and can handle off road conditions from rough rocky conditions to less challenging towpaths and bridleways. Hard tails are more responsive with the front suspension forks helping absorb the bumps with all the power pushed through the pedals transferring into momentum. Full suspension bikes are designed to handle more aggressive downhill conditions by adsorbing impacts whilst maintaining traction but on the flat some of your power will be lost due to the rear suspension.
Not all off-road bikes are designed for serious off road riding. You need to look at the component specification in detail to ensure the function and quality are right for your requirements, especially the gear set and shifters, brakes, saddle, grips and tyre tread pattern. Riding position is important – the more upright the less impact will be placed on your lower back plus your vision will be improved. Take a look at our Freeride AT and Voyager ranges.
This category is a hybrid of road and all terrain bikes. Designed for tarmac riding with occasional off road riding on towpaths, bridleways or cycle trails. These are sleeker framed bikes with slimmer wheels and tyres for faster rolling. Some are equipped like our Pioneer Metro range and others are more sporty like our Pioneer Urban series. Ideal for commuters and recreational riders.
Throughout the range of bikes we have our female specific versions. These bikes have been specifically designed for the female body. Our bikes include subtle geometry changes that make the bike a more comfortable fit. There are other features which make the bikes more user friendly like step-through frames which reduce the height you have to lift your leg when mounting the bike.
Electric bikes have come of age, delivering many miles of smooth, reliable, powered assistance. For those looking for some help going the distance, or an extra lap of the trail centre, whether you are just starting work or enjoying retirement, modern ebikes make cycling inclusive!
Our electric bikes offer a high specification and performance for any budget.

In it's attempt to introduce new models to both the Indian and Thai market, Honda has gone ahead and introduced its new city car prototype at the Thailand International Motor Show. The car, which is being tagged as the Brio, is scheduled to hit the two aforementioned markets beginning in 2011.
With the Asian market becoming a hot spot for fuel-efficient city cars, Honda is looking to get a piece of the pie with the Brio. Reports on the Brio's performance numbers indicate that it will come with a very frugal 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine.
The Brio will also come in two variants for both the Indian and Thai market, with the latter being given a more performance-oriented variant whereas the latter will be a little more on the fuel-efficient side. Despite the increasing demand for small city cars, the Brio won't be lacking competitors from a number of brands and their models, including the Hyundai i10 , the Toyota iQ , and the Suzuki Swift
Pricing for the Brio is slated at 400,000 baht in Thailand, which is about $13,200 based on current exchange rates.
Press Release after the jump
Honda Exhibits World Premiere of Honda BRIO Prototype, Honda's New Small Vehicle Developed for Asian Markets at the 27th Thailand International Motor Expo 2010
Bangkok, Thailand, November 30, 2010 - Honda debuted the world premiere of a prototype of Honda BRIO, the new small-sized vehicle developed for Asian markets and scheduled to be introduced in Thailand and India in 2011, at the 27th Thailand International Motor Expo starting November 30, 2010 (press day: November 30, public days: December 1-12.)
Honda BRIO Prototype is being developed with Honda's advanced technologies, while further advancing Honda's "man maximum, machine minimum" concept*1. Being developed as a commuter which is easy-to-use even in urban areas, the Honda BRIO prototype adopts an easy-to-handle compact body (length 3,610mm x width 1,680mm x height 1,475 mm) while ensuring enough cabin space achieved by highly efficient packaging. With this vehicle, Honda thoroughly pursued the creation of an advanced exterior form, which is compact while asserting a strong presence.
For the mass-production model, which will be an entry-level car, for which demand is increasing in newly emerging nations, Honda will develop unique versions for Thailand and India to reflect different customer needs in those markets. Moreover, with this vehicle, Honda will leverage the resources Honda has cultivated through its motorcycle business and utilize local sourcing of parts and materials such as sheet steel.
For the Thai model that is scheduled to be introduced in March 2011, the fuel economy of more than 5liters/100km*2 will be targeted so that the vehicle will qualify as an eco-car by the Thai government, and a starting price of approximately 400,000 baht will be targeted as well. For the Indian model that is scheduled to be introduced within 2011, local customer needs for a small car will be reflected and local content will be increased to create a model that achieves a good balance between vehicle performance and price.
"Honda would like to expand the joy of mobility to more customers in Thailand, India and other Asian countries through the introduction of a new small vehicle with compact and highly efficient packaging by utilizing our own experiences cultivated by motorcycle business here in Asia," said Takanobu Ito, President and CEO of Honda Motor.

If you haven't had enough of bird-flinging in Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio on every device you own save your toaster, come August you'll be able to purchase the games yet again for your Wii U. According to the developer the game features 30 episodes and also includes some exclusive new levels.
Off TV play and of course, touch screen controls are supported. I suppose of all the consoles the Angry Birds Trilogy makes the most sense on the Wii U with its touch pad, but Angry Birds is so 2010.

I was lucky enough to get along and see Ennis Tola play at the Evelyn Hotel last Thursday evening. After chowing down some $5 bimbos pizza me and a couple of mates headed to the Evelyn in anticipation for what was going to be a spectacular evening of music. We arrived at the venue and had a bit of a chat to the drummer of Ennis Tola whom I knew from my school who strongly suggested we listen to the band before his, named 'Quiet Child'.
We then headed inside to hear the end of the second bands set, a band called Apple Time. I only really heard one song that consisted of the lyrics 'I hope you die motherfucker' backed by minimal instrumentation in ukelele, a bass and drum kit. It didn't help the levels weren't very high and other people's conversationwas easily heard. I've since listened to their recordings and they sound good, but I wasn't at all drawn in by what I saw.
I was hoping for a good set from Quiet Child, who had supported Opeth on their Australian tour recently but in no way was I expecting such an enjoyable listening experience! I had one of those moments where my mind was completely transfixed by what was going happening in the music that I thought about nothing else. The guitars blended perfectly together to create excellent sound scapes amongst the drums and soaring vocals. Those vocals! Wow. They really stood out. I highly recommend checking this band out if you're into prog-rock.
I hadn't seen Ennis Tola since about September last year at the Hi-Fi. Which is a bit of a strange venue for sound and gigs in general, I wasn't really that happy with the sound then. The band consist of 5 members, A drummer, singer/acoustic guitar, Clarinet/saxophone/keys, bassist and electric guitar. They have a sort of prog-rock sound but with a large influence of middle eastern and world music which gives them a very unique sound. They played a really tight set, nailing all of the time changes (and there is quite a few) Ennis Tola are a really impressive live act because of this, as well as their dynamics through out their songs. An honourable mention also to the lead singer Tom Fitzgerald's voice which I absolutely LOVE. It has this really deep and full timbre to it which suits the music of Ennis Tola so well. The recordings they have do them no justice at all, you must go and see their live show.

Wednesday, August 28
In the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, there is an area of interest that we are monitoring for further development in the Atlantic Basin.
There is an area of Cloudiness, Showers and Thunderstorms over the Southern tip of Florida and surrounding areas that is associated with a Mid-Upper level Low Pressure System. There are no signs of any surface circulation. There is a very LOW chance of any development during the next 48 hours as this system moves North during the next 48 hours and dissipates inland.
Extended Forecast
Shower & Thunderstorm activity halfway between the Cape Verde Islands and the Windward islands has diminished during the past 24 hours. However, healthy environmental conditions remain in place and appear to be conducive for gradual development as this disturbance approaches the Lesser Antilles by early next week. There is a LOW chance (20%) of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 5 days.
Model guidance is suggesting that a Tropical wave will move off the coast of Africa and into the Eastern Atlantic on Friday. This system could find its self in and environment that would support development.
Elsewhere, development is not expected during the next 48 hours.
For a continued look into the tropics, follow the link below to the First Alert Hurricane Center.

I'm currently on break. If you have any breaking news before July 21, please send a note to my colleague Jennifer Brett, who handles Buzz, at email@example.com. Here is something I wrote before I left:
Steve Byrne joins a long list of stand-up comics who have gotten their own sitcoms, including Roseanne Barr, Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano and recently, Billy Gardell ("Mike & Molly")
Atlanta-based TBS has given the Pittsburgh native a show that reflects his own lineage as a half-Irish, half-Korean family. On the show, he plays a New York City attorney who decides to chuck the city life and his snobby girlfriend to run his parents' bar instead in his hometown.
Like many of his sitcom counterparts, Byrne has plenty of experience in stand up (14 years) but not a lot on the acting front.
As a relative neophyte in the acting world, Byrne mostly plays the straight man to much wackier characters around him. "I'm a bit like the Dean Martin of the cast," he said in an interview earlier this month. "I try to throw a fastball down the middle and have the other actors hit it out of the park."
That cast includes the man who plays his Irish dad, Dan Lauria from "The Wonder Years," Brian-Doyle Murray as a racist bar patron and Christine Ebersole as a lush. Coincidentally, both Murray and Ebersole were on "Saturday Night Live" in the early 1980s.
Byrne himself is half Korean, half Irish, just like his character. Asian-American comedic leads (even of mixed-race variety) are rare on TV. The only one that comes to mind for me is Margaret Cho's failed ABC sitcom aired 18 years ago.
"Maybe I was too young," Byrne said, "but I know how significant it was for a guy like me to see her on television. I told Margaret that. She's one of the nicest people you'd ever meet."
"Sullivan & Son" is a polyglot of actors of differing races. "It's a hodgepodge, a melting pot," he said. "There's a goofy black guy, an Irish dad and a Chinese actress playing my Korean mom. This is what America is to me in my eyes."
Despite the same setting, he said it's not at all like "Cheers." "That's one of my favorite sitcoms but we're our own show. The language in the bar is different. There's more diversity."
Byrne, who turns 38 on Saturday, feels indebted to TBS, which helped provide him his first comedy special a few years ago. "We get away with a lot more than if we were on network," he said. "We do push the envelope."

Dr. Boey is from Malaysia, so her English is occasionally difficult to understand, but she takes care to explain herself. She is very understanding and lots of fun in the classroom. She is also an incredibly talented performance pianist, so she knows her stuff. I recommend watching her play piano sometime! It's a sight to behold.
