changing the world
What I love most is making music and finding talent, so if I was blessed to become a successful Music Producer I would make over $1 million a year if I had the right guidance that I'm praying I get from Full Sail University, Full Sail has all the tools I will need to learn to run my studio and they have a program to help me with my career once I graduate. Making that much I would be able to conquer all my dreams, from helping my people in Ohio where I'm from with opening affordable daycares and recreational buildings to start a dance team and band team that would learn how to dance, or play their instruments of choice, and perform during the St. Patrick's Day parade in March. I would give my people jobs and have second chance programs for felons to find jobs. Then I would open a music studio there and branch off in the west and eastern states to help talent be able to reach someone to help them be heard. I don't really understand why record labels are only in certain parts of America when talent is in the whole country. My record label would be very diverse so we would invite all genres of talent to apply. I would then give back to my country by having huge music contests in the northern and southern part of the country for $50,000 scholarships. I also always want to stand up for battered women and infants somehow, and I know a lot of women that have mistreated their infants or children and it pains me how the innocent children can't stand up for themselves and the government thinks it's best for the child to stay with their parent when they have black eyes, or are malnutrition, or even over dosed with medicine to where they can't even stand straight, Some people aren't able to have kids and then these people with the blessing of having such beautiful miracles in their life just abuse it and I don't feel like we are fighting hard enough for them or the mothers who are afraid to speak up because they know we won't protect them from him or her. These are just the small things of my plans in life, my biggest way that I want to change the world is by making music that changes the way our kids will think instead of money, clothes, drugs, and sex I want them to know they are beautiful, smart, and important no matter what anyone says. Some people turn to music for therapy and I want to be that for the world when a lady feels lonely, or ugly, or unfit, or when a man feels less of a man that's how I want to change the world.

1 Weather Alert High Wind Watch issued March 29 at 2:00AM PDT expiring March 31 at 4:00AM PDT in effect for: Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego 1 Weather Alert
Geni Cavitt 4:59 AM, Jul 18, 2009 Share Article Geni Cavitt says goodbye to 10News. pn.skimble Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next "Yours is a face I can really trust." That's what one of San Diego's Finest police captains once told Geni as she headed into Petco Park on a sunny San Diego evening. Her response? She smiled, hugged the officer and said "I paid him to say that."That's Geni's charm. She is a well-known, trusted weathercaster and journalist with a self-effacing humor that makes her relatable.After moving from Minneapolis to San Diego to become the co-anchor of a major local AM radio show in the 80s, Geni began to know, understand and adore her friends and neighbors here in San Diego. Now, nearly 30 years later, she can truly say that San Diego is "home.""I love this place and its people. And what you see is what you get," says Geni. "Weather can be fickle but my friends and neighbors need to know what to wear and when to wash the car! I bring that same down-to-earth approach to my storytelling as well."For the last 3 years, Geni has devoted much of her time and energy to the 10News Leadership series. She recognizes people who provide leadership by making San Diego a better place to live through helping others. At a recent "Leadership" shoot at a major San Diego medical center, one interviewee commented, "I was so nervous, but Geni is such a pro. She made it easy, like sharing with my sister or best friend. I wasn't afraid to open up." Thankfully, that's not unusual. In September 2001 (or was is 2003 Iraqi invasion), following the aftermath the World Trade Center attacks, one local family -- struck by personal tragedy that day -- refused to speak with any journalists, except Geni, saying, "We'll let you in because we feel like we know you.""Moments like that break my heart and fill me with a sense of purpose, all at the same time," explains Geni. "What else are we here for if not to help each other in times of trouble?"In 2007, Geni was one of the first 10News employees to become a "digital correspondent." In a weeks' time, she learned to shoot and edit video. Her daily routine includes buzzing around town in her trusty blue Toyota Matrix, setting up and shooting interviews, editing stories and delivering them on air, usually all in the same day.When Geni is not on the air, she is busy volunteering her time with many worthy causes, including: the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Conference, San Diego Humane Society, National Alliance on Mental Illness and the Girl Scouts of America. In 2008, the Girl Scouts honored Geni as one of the "10 Coolest Women" in San Diego County.Geni is also committed to reading programs in San Diego elementary schools as well as student Career Days. Her favorite moments are those spent with her husband, daughter and three precious grandchildren. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

DNO Jumps Most in Month as New Wells Push Tawke Output to Record
Mikael HolterDNO International ASA, a Norwegian oil producer focused on northern Iraq, gained the most in a month in Oslo after two new horizontal wells increased output at its Tawke field in the Kurdistan region of Iraq to a record.
The company rose 5.7 percent, the biggest gain since Feb. 20, to 23.17 kroner by 9:38 a.m. About 1.9 million shares were traded, a third of the average three-month daily volume. DNO began output from the wells at a combined flow rate of 37,000 barrels of oil daily, pushing Tawke's production to a record 129,000 barrels a day on March 5, it said today in a statement.
"With the exceptional results from these latest wells and the installation of early production packages and a new 24-inch pipeline, we are on track to meet our ambitious deliverability goal of 200,000 barrels per day in 2014," Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani said in the statement.
DNO and its Tawke partner Genel Energy Plc have been caught in a dispute between the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region and the central Iraqi government over oil-revenue sharing, contracts and land. The Kurds are now negotiating with the Iraqi government how to market crude flowing through a pipeline to Turkey that was completed last year.
DNO, the first foreign company to drill in Iraq after the U.S. invasion in 2003, has sold much of its output on the local market because of the dispute. It got two-thirds of its output from Kurdistan last quarter and has 55 percent of Tawke, with Genel owning 25 percent and the regional government 20 percent.

Just What I Needed
By BRobb
from Farmington, UT
I have an S3. This really isn't meant for the S3 as it only has one camera hole that is not large enough so the flash and speaker on the S3 are covered; also, the volume slot is in the wrong place for the S3, so you can only turn the volume up and not down. However, it fits the S3 and secures it really well. The wallet portion closes very securely; in fact, it closes so securely it's a little hard to open. It has room to store a number of cards or money easily. I typically only carry my ID and two cards, but it could easily secure 5 or 6 cards, if needed. It is a little bulky but not cumbersome. It still fits in my pocket fine. The case is slightly textured as well so it is easy to grip.
Not for the S3
By Buffalo man
from Alexandria, Virginia
Volume button is part covered. Light is completely covered.
ONLY GOOD for S4
By Walker
from San Antonio, TX
This is specifically for S4 ONLY! If used with the S3 model it hides the volume button and cannot be accessed with case on. Other than that, it seems like a fine product.
Great idea!
By Boop2015
from Boise, ID
I really liked this product, but it did not fit my Samsung Touch3 cellphone.
Protection with Space
By DavidE
from Springfield, OH
A good unit. I used it on an S4 and gave one for my daughter's S3. Had to make Dremel mods for clearing the charger plug for both models, and expanding the area for the volume bar on the S3. Will be "adding" a hole for the S3's flash shortly. Only drawback is that it will hold ~a max of 4 ccards in the storage pouch. But it still lessened the load on my wallet (which I now don't have to carry around with me everywhere).

Color Selector |
The Select Color dialog is a very flexible tool that may be used to insert numeric values for colors in four different formats: Decimal, Hex, HTML, and RGB (red, green, blue). The Selector Color dialog includes the following items: Syringe Tool The syringe in the upper left of the Color Selector dialog is a tool that may be used to import colors to the dialog. Clicking on the syringe and dragging it over any item will import its color values to the dialog. Color Block The Color Block is in the upper lefthand corner of the Color Selector dialog. Clicking on this presents the standard Windows Color dialog where basic colors may be selected or custom colors may be defined. Whether a standard color is selected in the Color dialog or a custom color is created, whatever color is shown in the "Color/Solid" field will be the color shown if you press the OK button in the Color dialog. RRGGBB Text Field If you are familiar with the standard RGB color codes you may directly specify a color by typing in this field. The specified color should be immediately reflected in the Color Block. If you are defining a color in HEX format there should be six alphanumeric characters used to do so (e.g., F08FFF). Color Selection Dropdown A list of 72 default colors used for web development is provided in the dropdown and selecting one of these will automatically change the value reflected in the HEX/ RRGGBB field. This can be very helpful in quickly selecting colors for development. RGB Text Fields Beside the Red, Green, and Blue color blocks are text fields where values for these colors (from 0 through 255) may be directly entered. The up/down arrows by each text field may also be used to modify the color values. To increase/decrease all three color values simultaneously use the "-" and "+" buttons below the RGB text fields. Users may define custom colors using these controls and name them by entering the name in the Named Colors combobox. Custom colors may be removed by selecting the color name in the Named Colors combobox and pressing the Delete key (on the keyboard) and then pressing the Save Color button. Any color saved with an empty name will be removed from the color list. Nearest color The Nearest Color button will select the closest color to the custom values currently defined from the default colors listed in the dropdown. The Color Block will change to reflect this color as will the Color field value in the Format section and the color name listed in the dropdown. Swap red/blue Pressing this button will switch the values for Red and Blue for the currently specified color. This change is reflected throughout the color selector. Output Users may select whether they want the color value to be inserted in either Decimal, Hex, HTML, or RGB format using the appropriate buttons. Pressing the Editor button will send the output to the active edit window and pressing the Clipboard button will send the output to the active clipboard. If the Use quotes option is selected the value will be inserted in the desired format and enclosed in double quotes. (Please note that the RGB value is never inserted in double quotes as this is generally used for C macros and this behavior would not be appropriate in this context.) Display web colors only There are a limited number of colors that display the same regardless of what browser they are displayed in. If Display web colors only is selected, only "browser safe" colors will be displayed in the Select Color dialog. Close Pressing the Close button will close the Select Color dialog and return focus to the edit window. |

However the Italian intends to rest a number of players against a MSK Zilina of Slovakia on Wednesday while Didier Drogba is suspended.
Champions Chelsea go into the match full of confidence after their fourth successive league win - a 3-1 victory over rock-bottom West Ham.
Ancelotti said: "I will change the line-up because I want to rest players. I don't want to think the Champions League is more important than the Premier League.
"The normal step is to want to do better in the Champions League. We went out too early and want to do better this season."
Manchester United face Rangers tomorrow on the back of dropping two points against Everton after conceding two goals in injury time.
Midfielder Darren Fletcher accepts they have lessons to learn following the 3-3 draw at Goodison Park.
The result followed a similar performance at Fulham and Fletcher said: "We really have to learn from this game if we want to take it forward this season and win the league."
Arsene Wenger is in no doubt there will be plenty more goals to come from his Arsenal team, who face Braga in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Gunners chalked up their 1,000th Premier League goal under Wenger during the 4-1 win over Bolton.
"We know we can score goals and as a team we improve from season to season," said the Arsenal boss. "We are more mature, and of course our challenge will be to be sound at the back."
Tottenham take on Werder Bremen tomorrow with manager Harry Redknapp boosted by the news Luka Modric's injury is not as first feared.
Modric left Spurs' 1-1 draw with West Brom on crutches after a challenge with defender Gonzalo Jara, but scans yesterday cleared the midfielder of a broken leg and he will travel to Germany.
Redknapp said: "Modric makes a difference. In my opinion, he could play in any team, anywhere in the world."
Fulham striker Bobby Zamora has been ruled out for four months after breaking his right ankle in the 2-1 victory over Wolves.
The 29-year-old is having surgery and faces a longer lay-off if further damage is discovered.
Fulham overcame his first-half departure to complete a last-gasp comeback victory sealed by Moussa Dembele's first Barclays Premier League goals.
Two teams with ambitions of breaking into the Champions League had to settle for a point over the weekend.
Manchester City drew 1-1 with Blackburn while Liverpool were held to a goal-less draw by Birmingham.
However Blackpool are flying high after their surprise promotion and chalked up a 2-0 victory against Newcastle while Wigan and Sunderland finished all-square at 1-1.


text: Celebrating Freedom: 12151791From the American Revolution to the Algerian War of Independence, from the civil rights movement to Tiananmen Square, freedom has driven men and women to commit great and tragic acts. 12151791, the arresting centerpiece sculpture of the newly opened McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum, powerfully embodies the passions engendered by this simple yet potent idea. Celebrating Freedom marks that power, as it explores how 12151791 and the Freedom Museum will transform the way we view our liberties today. Ā Created by California artists Amy Larimer and Peter Bernheim, 12151791 is the numeric iteration of December 15, 1791, the day that the Bill of Rights was ratified and became part of the Constitution of the United States. A commanding presence in the museum's entrance hall, 12151791 spirals downward as a tower of suspended steel plates and wire, with 850 engraved quotes woven through it that reflect on the importance of freedom. Drawn from poems, letters, songs, legal documents, and other cultural artifacts, these voices span the landscape of American history, from the first European explorers to the present day. Ā Celebrating Freedom features vibrant color images of the sculpture, as well as striking photographs that capture historic moments when people assembled to protest, pray, report, and petition. Art historian James Yood declares in his essay that 12151791 "is visual and textual, accessible and elusive, solid and transparent, stable and in motion, historical and contemporary." The essential guide to a groundbreaking cultural landmark, Celebrating Freedom reveals the value of freedoms past, present, and future. Ā |

WANTED: Sony DR-Z7 (PRICE NO OBJECT)
Will Ship To: Anywhere
Does anyone have this headphone? I have been searching for quite a while now and it's getting to the point where I'd pretty much pay any asking price, in any condition. I'd even trade off other headphones from my collection, even my extremely rare ones. My NAD RP18 Mylar, Sony DR-S7 (not a typo), Pioneer SE-700... As long as I get a Z7, I don't care.
So if any owner doesn't use their set often, please step forward and help it find a new home.

I'm not in HVAC but I'm in the same boat as you guys and I am getting seriously frustrated. I went to school for Computer Network Specialist, took ten classes for six weeeks for 14 months, completed the courses nine months ago, graduated and got a diploma in the field in May 2008, got A+ certified in January 2007, and it seems I can't find an employer that's

Eric in Lowell, Massachusetts 103 months ago |
I have been in HVAC for 7 years now, and I think it sucks. Any constuction job I do not recommend. It is an abuse on your body and health I recommend getting a desk job, retirement age is going up and up, can you climb ladders and hang duct work at age 67? can you sit behind a desk at age 67? |

Jeff Brown in Las Vegas, Nevada said: I also went to school for HVAC, and cant get a job to save my life. All these companies want experience, but how can we get eperience if we cant even get a chance. being HVAC certified and having youre EPA certs means absolutely nothing! I went to a school called (Quality Air Training) off of Industrial....do you know that school? Anyways.....I moved out here to San Jose, Ca....where my wife's family is (had to move because of her complaints...) but, I think if I stayed there my chances of getting a job would be increased...especially in Las Vegas?? Keep trying..........somethings got to catch....eventually there...... |
prohvacworks@*****.*** in Allen, Texas 99 months ago |
Sorry to say, but at 41 just getting in this trade in will not get you hired anywhere anytime soon, unless you want to be an installation grunt. 99.9% of companies want experienced technicians. It's is going to be extremely tough for you. Not only will getting in with a good company be tough but getting and getting good wage is not likely. That's just how this industry works unless you have at least 5-10 years experience in some type of trade specialty such as refrigeration, chillers, controls, etc |
Paul in Topeka, Kansas 99 months ago |
Watch the state jobs web page. If you see a KDOT networking job, try for it. Our Bureau of Computer Services hires a lot of young, minimally experienced people. Two things:
Hang in there. Sometimes it takes a while to break into the IT world, but once you're in, the jobs are pretty secure, and offices are better places to work than crawlspaces. BTW, I moonlight for a buddy that has a HVAC company. It's not bad work either, just different. |

I feel what everyones else is going through. I am just finishing HVAC school here in Des Moines at Vatterott College, and I can not find a job in the field to save my life. I am 29, andhave over five years experience in floor covering before this. I have applied with over 50 contractors withinthe last 5 months, and interviewed with over 20, either in person over over the phone. And all of them have said I am too inexperienced to work for them. I am graduating with a 4.0, top of the class, and EPA certs. I have a clean driving record, with a class B CDL, but it does not matter to employers. I have tried hvacagent.con, mepjobs.com, and every other site. I feel that going to school for this may have been the biggest mistake in my life. |

It is just a bad time of year, HVAC ALWAYS PICKS UP IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER. You might try local contractors in your area in person but get a referral letter from your instructor at school. No education is a waste in my book at least you could work on your own system and maybe friends and family. And with each experience of this type you could get letters of recomendation from them to potential employers.Try to keep positive somthing is bound to happen soon. |

Try getting any type of experience.....like apts, sears, air duct cleaning companies, small hotels, local food stores, technical staffing companies. I am still looking for work myself, but I'm getting more interviews with smaller companies and technical staffing firms. lord knows that I don't want residential work but i'm going to take what ever comes my way at this point....the economy is tight! |

Hey dude, the guy who's lookin to get IT experience, but no one's willing to give him a chance. If no one will hire you, then dude, why don't you start your on mobile IT business? I worked at this company for over 10 years, but unfortunately the company ended up closing at the end of last year, but we had this IT guy that would come out whenever the company computers failed, or if new programs needed to be added, we use to call him to come out. He had a huge customer base and would travel around to wherever he was called out. He charged our company like $50.00 to $75.00 an hour. He worked for himself. He did pretty good if you ask me. If I were you I would check into it. |
Paul in Topeka, Kansas 97 months ago |
I think the dude you're referring to is really a 'dudette' (Helen), but your point is well taken. The thing that I keep wondering about as I read this board, is why all of these people that are coming out of school with lots of hvac training, and no job opportunities, aren't doing the same thing (starting their own businesses). I realize that it's a little different than IT, because of the need for credentials--master's license and that type of thing. But there must be zillions of retired guys with their master's, who have taken a financial bath, and wouldn't mind hooking up with a young guy, providing the credentials, and teaching the young guy the tricks of the trade, in order to pick up some extra bucks. In a down economy, you sometimes need to get a little more creative in your thinking in order to locate opportunities. That doesn't mean that the opportunities don't exist. When I came out of college with my electronics degree in the late 70's, the economy was tanking, too. Inflation was horrible. Nobody was hiring. I interviewed with MANY companies. Finally found a job fixing juke boxes, video games, and pinballs. Was it what I wanted to do with my EE degree? Heck no. But it paid the bills, and got me a bunch of good electronics experience. My next job was as a Customer Support Engineer with a major computer company, at over twice the salary. One of the main reasons I got that job was because of the heavy troubleshooting experience I got on the first job. BTW, I went down and got my Universal a couple of weeks ago, and am planning on shagging some calls at my buddy's hvac company, this spring and summer. We've done 4 new installs since Jan 1st, and I enjoy the work. It's a lot different than the desk/office thing I do all day, and doesn't pay as well, but there is a certain sense of accomplishment when you turn on the breaker and peek in and see the igniter glowing and hear the gas valve pick, and things start up. |

I'm afraid things aren't getting any better. It just started getting hot though. I also am finishing a 2 year program for HVAC. I've had interviews, been all over a 100 mile radius going door to door and trying to make good personalized contacts. I've offered to do On the Job Trainning with out pay short term so they can evaluate my knowledge and performance. I've heard one question at every place I've been to. Do you have your journeyman? And if you don't have it, they don't wanna help you get it because their afraid you'll go make more money somewhere else. It's no wonder they advertise such a need for HVAC techs...We can't get proper experience and trainning. Seems to me that Journeyman means supervisor. I think every Journeyman had ought to be required by law to keep atleast one apprentice employed and up to three. It's not like the money isn't there. And the work is definitely there. And with all this going green and newer high efficiency equipt. and the cost of R-12 and 22 going up steady, causing a need for equiptment change outs and replacements- it's going to eventually cause all the damned ice cream to melt if they don't start trainning some of us. LOL. |

Not because you're a women, you are not getting the chance. I graduated last year with my A/S and still can't find a job. The best thing is to try to get into an Apprentership program, that will give us the experience we need. |

So I have a friend who got into the HVAC apprenticeship for the next 3 years. He was told that once he graduates he can get a job right away making $28 an hour. I am however hearing from the emails circulating that that may not be the case which sucks because he is so proud he'll be making an honest living to help raise his 3 boys. He can't feed himself on $14/hr let alone raise and feed 3 boys |
Mike in Yokohama, Japan 95 months ago |
Id stick with the apprenticeship program before any pyramid scheme. Nothing pays 30$ starting right off the bat unless your union. I dont even know if there is an HVAC union. Plumbers, etc in the union might make that starting off. If your good, youll be in demand. If your good and not in demand, Id go somewhere that recongnizes and pays accordingly. To be good, you must put in the time, no shortcut around it. Its just basic economics and business. The owner has to make a profit and the tech aint the only expense he has. A semi skilled job like a CDL driver can make pretty good money if you dont mind being away from home. Thats a different game, you just haul stuff and repeat cycle, nothing to fix or install. In this business service is what pays, service and parts and new machines. You got to be a salesman aka liar, a technician, driver, etc. |

Thanks Mike in Japan. I suppose with most career, it's all about experience and quality of your work. I appreciate your comment and will pass it on. |
Mike in Japan 95 months ago |
No problem. I dont know it all, but allot what I see posted is B.S. Sometimes a person is baiting you to do something in order to use you or get you believe the hype about a 10G scam school. Apprenticeship aint a bad deal, and he might make 30$ and hour once he has done 4 years, so I must rectract some of what I said. Starting as a helper, I dont see it happening but after 4 years of training, he might get it. 30$ an hour is allot to pay somebody, because there is overtime as well. |

"But anyway I'm on the edge to where I'm thinking about working for myself because companys just seem like they don't want to hire so I figure I can take their business." THAT is the essence of the free enterprise system. If you can figure out a way to do it better/cheaper/faster, then go for it. Speaking as someone who has been self-employed (I'm not right now, but I'm working on a deal), there is something really gratifying about making it on your own. The stresses are great, but so are the rewards. As to the fact that companies don't want to hire you, remember that in order for a company to hire you, you have to make them more than you cost them. There are all sorts of expenses besides payroll, associated with running a company. So if they're paying you, let's say, $20 per hour, then you have to be making them $50 per hour. Believe me, at that 20/50 ratio, they are probably netting between $7 and $10 on you. No matter how good your training was, they are not going to send you out on service calls alone, until they know you pretty well. That means sending you out with experienced (means expensive) guys to start with. So, instead of $20 per hour, that service call is costing them $50 per hour JUST FOR WAGES. If the bill is $100, they have not made a cent. Try not to take the hiring thing personally. Things are slow right now, but one day it will turn around. Until then, try to think creatively. I've always thought a young guy who wanted to make a buck could get his 609 certification, and set up a little operation topping off auto A/C systems. No repairs, no vac, just top off. Only do 134a. There will be a huge demand in the early summer, then it will taper off. Maybe when it tapers off, you would have time to do some service. Last summer, I paid a garage $870 to replace the compressor in my Caddy. Later priced a rebuilt compressor--$210. Maybe $8 worth of 134a. Maybe 2 hours of labor (it was hard to get to). Hang in there. |

314 Pipe Welder, Dude, I feel your pain but have you applied as a helper? Ok you fell for the HVAC training scam. Well I got to be careful with that, but thats what allot of it is in my opinion. I say I got to be careful because this is the way it should work-
Mike in Japan 95 months ago |
I should add-
Mike in Japan 95 months ago |
Also dude, you said that the companies are worried you might take their business. They aint worried about that. Paul got it right. They worry they will loose money on you. They been there done that. It takes time to get good at this sh-t just like it did for you to be a pipewelder. The chances of you taking any of their busniness are slim because your a beginner and you probally couldnt handle any of their big accounts or clients. |

HVAC TECH 12 in Concord, North Carolina 95 months ago |
I just wanted to say to everyone looking for work that Perserverance and studying and doing whatever you can to increase your knowlege, And putting your trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will pay off in the end. I had lost my job in Commercial HVAC back in Sept.08 Priour to that I had residential HVAC experience, I wanted to stay in commercial, but things just was not working that way, So I decided to try to get my NATE certification and try the residential market again. I am now NATE certified, and employed by a residential HVAC company as of 5-11-09 this is my first week and I worked 70 hours from mon. to fri. I am enjoying every minute of it even though I hurt like crazy in the p.m. |
Mike in Yokohama, Japan 95 months ago |
Well congrats to you. I guess NATE does pay. Ill try for the heat pump cert next. Have you done that one? |
HVAC TECH 12 in Concord, North Carolina 95 months ago |
I did try the heat pump some time back but missed it by a couple of questions. From what I remember it was pretty tough, but thats been a while back. I would like to get the heat pump cert myself and I may try it if I can get the boss to pay for it. I seen RSES had a new book on heat pump test prep I ordered one so I might try the test again latter on. |

i am an employer looking to hire a certified hvac technician but cannot seem to find the right candidate. any suggestions? |
Mike in Japan 95 months ago |
Several out there, including myself. I guess it depends on what creds your looking for. 10 year vet of the trade wont move unless you offer him something better than what he is getting. I hope your not a troll, seems there is tons of folks looking for work, why you need to ask such a question here seems suspicious to me. |
mmm in Washington, District of Columbia 95 months ago |
Dear Sir/Madam,
I stumbled upon your site trying to find a qualified person to hire and had read some of the comments on the site and thought that it would be a good venue to assist me in finding a candidate. I was not interested in hiring outside of my tri-state area and was hoping that someone local would tap into your resource as I did. If you would prefer me to no longer post, I will respect your decision and find an alternative solution for my candidate search. mmm |
Mike in Japan 95 months ago |
no problem dude. Im not in charge of this site so please do as you wish. It just seems with all the recruiters and what people have posted here about jumping through hoops to try and find work, seems you havent been looking hard at all. |
mmm in Washington, District of Columbia 95 months ago |
I completely understand where you are coming from with your concerns. It would be unconscionable for myself or anyone else to do something like that to another person....especially in today's job market where there is so much downsizing/difficulty in finding work. Under normal circumstances, the corporate office would be conducting such a search but, over the past year they have stream lined and given more autonomy to the local offices, I had only recently, as of the Friday before my post to the indeed site, begun the search. This is my first foray into a search for an HVAC person so, I am admitting that I am "green" with regard to the process.
I initiated my search by reaching out to a lot of the recruiting firms and they all offer the same costly package with no guarantee of success in finding the employer a candidate. Which would not be cost effective for my company as both mandates have to be met. I did however, on the advice of an Industry Colleague, post the position on Craig'slist on Monday, and have received some resume's/replies over the past several days some good, some not so good that I will vet and schedule for interviews. Thanks, for your feedback

Mike in Japan said: Yeah I read somewhere that those schools werent following through on their promises, seems there arent any companies contatcting the schools for new grads these days and the schools couldnt get the graduates placed. Im sure you could find hundreds of candidates on that list waiting to get hired. I actually work for a Technical College and we offer HVAC there. We have a Career Counselor on campus who is AMAZING and she finds jobs for these students and holds on campus interviews for them so there are more job opportunities offered to our students, then there are students to fill the positions. Campus wide we had a 98% job placement, with 100% job placement in our HVAC program, on top of that we offer life time job placement for all graduated alumni. The problem with some of these other Technical schools are the numbers. We keep our numbers small so we can offer more one-on-one attention to our students. If you are looking for a Technical training at a College somewhere, make sure the there is a low student to instructor ratio, that should help with the job offers come time to graduate. ~Tiff~ |

I recently just graduated from a techncial college 6 months ago and they told me the same phrase you just said. We have 98% job placement and there is also a career services to asist you on campus. Man all of this is just completely false advertisng from these trade schools. I just spent thousands of dollars hoping I would be able to find successful employment after graduation but that has not happened. If you are a high school student about to graduate or maybe someone who is thinking about getting into the HVAC trade strongly think about it before you do it or make sure that you are bound to get a job with a good company once you graduate. I feel like this was a complete scheme so that trade schools are able to take thousands of dollars from you. To the lady from kansas there is no 100% job placement assistance that is completely false. We even had small number in our classrooms to about 15 in each class.
tiffininwktc in Goodland, Kansas 94 months ago |
I'm sorry you had such bad luck with your school, and yes I can see how colleges would like to make money off of students by using false advertising. I do believe I work for a college that has nothing but good intentions for its students. We are a government funded, non-profit organization technical college, so money is not an issue with us. In fact the majority of our students don't even spend a dime on their education, due to scholarships and grants that we find for them. I couldn't work for a company that misleads students, and definitely wouldn't be telling people about our programs if I wasn't 100% sure it was all for bettering the future for the students who attend it. I really think a lot of the HVAC jobs come along with who you know and where you want to be located, and fortunately for our graduates, we have faculty who have successfully placed them with employers whom we have spent years building good report with. Just because some colleges scam students, doesn't mean all of the colleges do. Believe it or not, there are a select few places that do actually care about how successful their students are after they leave campus. I am proud to be working at one. |
314 Pipe welder in Chicago, Illinois 94 months ago |
The college that I went to is a non-profit organization so funding money is no problem at all. Ranken is considered to be the the best technical college in the midwest of the united states. This college is nationally accredited so my intentions were to go to tthis school and receive a great job when completed. So I still find it hard to believe that students from that tradeschool are getti ng jobs with companies with no problem. This HVAC market is a matter of who you know and not what you know to get your foot in the door. Maybe your just taking up for the schol being you are apart of the staff there and you just wants to defend the school. That's okay but you just have to face reality that for the most part this HVAC is a scheme and that companies stereotypes others and that isn't fair to someone who is young and trying to do something positive with their life and want to be successful. I could have done negative things in my lifetime but I chose not to because I have toprovide for my family and then when you doing good deeds in your lifetime and it's like the doors are constantly closing and nothing isn't opening then you look at life like things are just failing. |
Bert in Scottsdale, Arizona 94 months ago |
Eric in Lowell, Massachusetts said: I have been in HVAC for 7 years now, and I think it sucks. Any constuction job I do not recommend. It is an abuse on your body and health I recommend getting a desk job, retirement age is going up and up, can you climb ladders and hang duct work at age 67? can you sit behind a desk at age 67? Excellent point! And with the probability that social security won't even exist by the time people in their 20's and 30's right now get to retirement age, that is even more reason to consider getting a job that is easier on the body. Otherwise you're going to see people in their 60's and 70's who either can't move because their backs are ruined from years of abuse, or they can't get a desk job then because nobody will hire them due to their age. So young people, think before you get into the construction field! |
Mike in Pelham, Alabama 94 months ago |
You got to diversify man. HVAC is a big field. True, the industry does abuse but thats when I step. |
josh in Des Moines, Iowa 93 months ago |
The HVAC field is a scam. I went to trade school, and did very well. I can not find a job in the field, period. I have been looking since last November, and nothing. I tried all the local unions, past the entry tests with flying colors, and nothing. I have found out the unions are only interested in a person who has family already in them. The school I attended has not given me a single lead on a job, unless I want to do apartment maintenance. I did that before, and apt. maintenance has nothing to do with HVAC. Unglogging drains and toilets, and painting is not HVAC. I stronlgy advise against attempting to get into this field, unless you dad or brother already is. This field makes new people fell very unwelcomed. I am just staying in floorcovering. Shame on all in the HVAC industry. |

Breaking out
The TV landscape has changed enormously over the past couple of decades, but one part has changed little in that time, or indeed since commercial TV came into being: The broadcast networks take it easy during the summer.
June, July and August are a time for reruns and low-cost reality shows that keep America's TV screens from going blank until the "real" prime-time programming returns in the fall. Every once in a while, a hit sneaks through – "Survivor" or "American Idol" – but most of the time the summer shows stay in summer, with their small budgets and small audiences.
That's what makes this season's hit, CBS' "Under the Dome," such an anomaly. With a big budget and a quality pedigree – it's based on a Stephen King novel – "Under the Dome" looked quite a bit different than the usual warm-weather fare. And the audience responded, making it the season's No. 1 show to date.
Its sudden success has prompted many to ask the question: Are the networks going to start taking summer more seriously?
The answer: They have been trying for years. We just didn't notice.
The problems that ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and the CW face during the other nine months of the year – shrinking audiences, especially among younger viewers, and increasing competition from cable channels – are worse during summer.
And for the past few years, the broadcasters have been pushing back a bit. Sure, they load up their schedules with cheaper-to-produce reality shows, but they also have sent a small-but-steady stream of scripted shows in to try to cure the problem. But until "Under the Dome," most of them have been met with massive doses of indifference from the audience.
Summer always has been a tough season for the networks. Even back in the glory days of broadcast TV, which ran from the late-1940s until well into the Reagan era, the summer was largely neglected. The prime-time schedule was built around a 39-week season, and the 13 weeks in between were filled mostly with reruns. Typically, the summer replacements for variety shows would offer the only new programming.
Sometimes, these replacements became major successes. The comedy team of Dan Rowan and Dick Martin sat in for Dean Martin on his show in the summer of 1966, and they proved so popular that NBC gave them their own show, "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In." Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell launched popular series as summer replacements – Cash for "The Hollywood Palace" and Campbell for "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour."
But even hit summer shows' ratings paled next to those of the standard lineups. School was out, families were on vacation, the sun stayed up well into prime time. Networks found it more profitable to feed the smaller audience leftovers.
Not surprisingly, when the cable channels started becoming major producers of their own programming around the turn of the century, they saw summer as a great opportunity.
TNT and USA cooked up a string of scripted series that looked a lot like what the networks were turning out in the fall: "The Closer," "Burn Notice," "Psych." Networks like AMC and FX put out shows with less broad appeal but that hooked high-end audiences.
Now, during the summer, it is not unusual for cable and network audiences to be on par. On July 8, TNT's "Major Crimes" beat three of the four broadcast shows at 9 p.m., losing by a few thousand viewers to a rerun of "Two Broke Girls" and beating the debut of NBC's "Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls." More significantly, though, none of those shows managed even 5 million viewers, and a rerun of "The Carrie Diaries" on the CW scraped together all of 300,000 viewers – putting it behind several dozen cable offerings that evening.
The success of "Under the Dome" masks the failure of other scripted shows this year. No one is talking much about NBC's "Camp" (5 million viewers for its debut) or "Siberia" (2.6 million) or ABC's "Motive" (a season-low 4.6 million last week). ABC's "Rookie Blue," in its fourth season as a summer series, drags in about 5 million viewers an episode.
And this follows a long run of tragic failures from the networks over the past six or seven summers: "Traveler," "Persons Unknown," "Swingtown" and other scripted series made it through one season – or less – before ending up in the discard pile.
What makes "Under the Dome" different? It's hard to say. Having Stephen King's name attached helps, as does the high-quality special effects and the persistent promotion from CBS. But the horror series "Harper's Island" in 2009 got even more promotion and an April start date and was a huge failure.
And we're not sure yet just how big a hit "Under the Dome" will be. The audience already has dwindled from 13 million for the first episode to 10 million for Episode 3. How many folks will still be around for Episode 13?
But at least its success will encourage the broadcasters to keep fighting for their share of the summer audience, which can only be good for the viewers.

Creedence Clearwater Revisited Rivals Revival
August 23, 2012In recent history, there has been a trend of classic rock bands reuniting to bring the songs we all know and love back to the live stage. Hoosier Park Racing & Casino is no stranger to these types of acts with bands such as Foreigner and Air Supply recently headlining our Summer Music Track Series. On August 31st, Creedence Clearwater Revisited will be here rocking the Summer Music Track II stage with a sound straight out of 1971. Though Creedence Clearwater Revisited does not have rights to the name "Revival," they have literally revived a sound we all remember rocking out to. Many other bands have reunited with new members only to lose their unique sound in the process. Creedence Clearwater Revisited may have changed their logo, but the sound is as intact as it has ever been. The two original members, Stu Cook and Doug "Cosmo" Clifford, are familiar with the standards they set long ago and deliver an authentic show. Concert guests can expect CCR Hall of Fame hits like "Proud Mary," "Suzie Q" and "Born on a Bayou" to name a few. Creedence Clearwater Revisited is sure to be an unforgettable show that you won't want to miss. Join us for a trip down memory lane as we celebrate the "Revival" of a timeless band. Tickets are on sale now at www.ticketmaster.com or the Hoosier Park Box Office inside Shelby's Gifts in the Terrace.
Hoosier Park Leaves Economic Mark on County
February 7, 2012By Stuart Hirsch
The Herald Bulletin
Tourism has become big business in Madison County and Hoosier Park Racing & Casino is the star attraction.
That's the conclusion of a recent report from the Anderson/Madison County Visitors & Convention Bureau, which looked at the economic impact of the tourism and travel industry here in 2008 and 2010.
Among the report's key findings were that:
Tourism and travel contributed nearly $506 million to the local economy in 2010.
A total of 3,821 jobs exist here because of the industry.
Nearly one-third of them are high-wage earners, professionals, technicians, managers, sales and construction jobs.
Tourism-generated jobs provided more than $68.6 million in wages to Madison County workers in 2010, compared to $62.9 million in 2008.
More than 3.9 million people made Madison County a tourism destination in 2010, compared to 2.2 million in 2008, the year when the casino opened.
Tourism generated $22.9 million in revenue for county and municipal governments in 2010, compared to $14.8 million in 2008.
The report, prepared by Certec Inc., a market research company based in Versailles, Ky., concluded that "tourism impacts all sectors of the local economy."
"The takeaway is that there has been an accelerated rate of change in tourism and its impact on economic development," and George Vinson, incoming president of the visitors bureau board of directors.
Ralph Day, executive director of the visitors bureau, said the 2008 and 2010 study years were chosen specifically to look at the impact a casino would have at Hoosier Park.
"It has really made Anderson a destination," Day said.
And Hoosier Park has been a terrific corporate citizen, he added.
Since the casino opened in June 2008, the complex has averaged 3.5 million visitors a year, said Grant D. Scharton, Hoosier Park's director of public relations He also noted that the Indianapolis Business Journal has named it the Indianapolis area's most popular tourist attraction.
"Hoosier Park Racing and Casino is very pleased with the response in the central Indiana region and the tourists who come and visit the casino," he said.
Tourism and community amenities such as Hoosier Park are an essential component of economic development efforts, said Rob Sparks, executive director of the Corporation for Economic Development.
"I think that tourism is a really important part of branding our community," he said.

Beritabali.com reports that the Provincial Broadcasting Commission (KPI-Bali) has told all the broadcast facilities in Bali to shut down for 24 hours from sunrise on 05 March 2011 Bali's official day of silence Nyepi.The chairman of KPI-Bali, Komang Suarsana, told the press on February 2, 2011, that Bali radio and television stations must shut as a sign of respect for the beliefs of the Balinese people during the 24 hours of absolute silence.In making his announcement, Suarsana admitted that some parties will see his order as a violation of their human rights. "We have received many protests that the KPI is violating human rights by limiting the ability of people to receive information during the black out period, even for those who do not celebrate the 'Nyepi' holy day. There are those who say we are limiting the movements of those on holiday in Bali during 'Nyepi." This is their right (to have this opinion), but for us it is a commitment," explained Suarsana.Suarsana added that the 24-hour shut down of broadcasts during Nyepi 2011 must also be followed by TV cable networks serving Bali, although it is unclear how the KPK will be able to enforce satellite transmissions of TV program onto the island.Suarsana expressed the hope that no broadcast media will violate the day of silence in Bali, as they have in past years.

Tommy Lee + Fred Durst Selling California Homes
Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and Fred Durst have both put their California homes on the market.
Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and Fred Durst have both put their California homes on the market.
Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst has just been banned from the Ukraine for five years in the best interest of the country's security.
Earlier today, (March 17) the Associated Press accidentally confused a suspected murderer with Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.
In an interview, Fred Durst opened up about his conflicted relationship with a certain type of Limp Bizkit fan.
I love going on road trips! Stopping and seeing everything and listening to whatever kind of music I want makes trips like that more enjoyable. My daughter is the best road-tripper because she is funny and likes to hang out like I do.
Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst has stepped behind the camera to direct a series of new eHarmony commercials. See the first one here.
Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst is both in front of and behind the camera for a new mockumentary short film titled 'The Truth.'
Limp Bizkit's next stage of their career has had a few stops and starts, and things are ready to start up again next month. Singer Fred Durst revealed via Twitter that things are coming along with the wealth of material that may end up being one or potentially two records. Plus, there's a new single and video for a track called 'Pain' that may be arriving soon.
After recent comments from Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst about the band's current status in the U.S., the idea of a tour seemed like a fleeting one. Durst referred to his band as "a moment in time" saying it was "over" but a new tweet from the frontman seems to suggest something different.
Among the many celebrities that attended WWE's 'Summerslam' on Aug. 19, was Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst. As the camera panned to Durst during the live pay-per-view event, the nu-metal musician scrunched up his face and raised a middle finger to the camera that was broadcast into the homes of millions of wrestling fans. Rumor quickly spread that Durst was kicked out of 'Summerslam' after flipping the bird, but the non-backwards-hatted Durst has just claimed that the reason he left his seat was to go backstage and offer an apology.
Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst promised fans that he'd have "huge news" about the band this month, and just in the nick of time, he's lived up to his word: According to an announcement released today, he and his bandmates will be entering 2012 ready to continue their "true rock and roll journey" without a record label.
What could be funnier than Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst in a sitcom? Apparently, that's what CBS was thinking when they inked a new deal with Durst to star in an upcoming comedy project.

Typhoon Touches Down in Malaysia
All eyes turned skywards in Penang today with the arrival of four Royal Air Force Typhoons.
The Typhoon aircraft have flown from the UK ahead of the LIMA 2013 air show on Langkawi next week. The 29 Squadron RAF team will be displaying the new multi-role combat aircraft at the event and promise air show spectators a performance to remember.
Aircraft Environmental Control Systems Market - Global Forecast to 2022
Display pilot Flt Lt Jamie Norris is paying his first ever visit to Malaysia and is looking forward to the Show.
'I've been working hard on the 2013 display through a damp and cold English winter. So to arrive and perform my first display of the 2013 season in a warm and beautiful Malaysia is a great pleasure and honour for me and the team,' he said.
The RAF team will be based at Butterworth and Langkawi during its stay in Malaysia and, now they have arrived, they will set about implementing plans for the Show which begins on Tuesday 26 March.
We are one of the four European partner industries that developed Typhoon and we are leading a bid to offer the jet to the Royal Malaysian Air Force once its competition for MiG 29 replacement gets underway later this year. We are exhibiting at the show and are pleased to have Typhoon along to display its capabilities.
'Our job is to let Malaysia know that selecting Typhoon is not just about owning a world-leading fighter. It is also important to know that it means sustained benefits to the Malaysian economy through industrial partnerships, jobs, technology and skills development. While we will be getting those 'partnership' messages across on the ground at LIMA we can leave Typhoon to do its own talking - in the air above Langkawi." said our KL-based regional managing director, John Brosnan.

- LA-Based Drone/Fuzz Guru Dominic Massaro
Dominic has spearheaded a handful of music projects over the years, three of which Red Queen signed publishing for: Motordrone, Graffiti61, and Ranchero Deluxe. Perhaps the most prominent characteristics that transcend all things Massaro, are the warmth and textured wall of sound that carries an uncanny quality of a sonic pummeling, while simultaneously trance-inducing. With his customized amplifier paired with particular guitar appropriation, Dominic has been eclectically carving a name for himself throughout the drone/shoegaze scene in Los Angeles for years.
Read about his live outfit, Motordrone

- "CELLARS" Obsessed with Love and 80s Synth-Pop
"I don't know where that 1980s influence came from," she says. "Probably my dad. When I was young, I remember him listening to Queen and The Bangles. That musical energy impacted me heavily."
As Cellars, she creates amazing, synth-driven pop songs that could fit between Duran Duran, Berlin, and New Order on a radio playlist. Today Norton enlists friends to fill out her onstage line-up.
- Red Queen Signs Gothic Tropic frontwoman, Cecilia Della Peruti
Los Angeles' Gothic Tropic introduces some hard edges to the playful world of psych-pop. The brainchild of Cecilia Della Peruti, Gothic Tropic keeps the vibe playful, but measured and dark with a unique lead guitar and vocal style that recalls catchy elements of pre-punk 70s acts such as Television, and Can. The type of music Gothic Tropic plays is comparable to jazz in the way its creation is approached: its success is based upon each member's ability to collaborate but also individually flourish.
- Red Queen Music Signs New Orleans' The Wave
When you hail from the straight-no-chaser city of New Orleans, you have no choice but to be brazenly real. The Wave is a boombing lyricist who made his debut on Lil Wayne's SQ5 from the Young Money general's Squad Up mixtape series. "Having an education and coming from the slums of New Orleans, and seeing it all, is all tied within my music. I made a soundtrack for hustlers; music to inspire growth in a myriad of facets. Wherever you are, Million Dollar Day represents the real American dream that you don't read about. It's all about making it out of the trap. It's about resonating with everybody that has struggled in life. I'm trying to do it for my generation and just be a different type of artist and give a different type of outlook and not just some glorification, you feel me?"
- Red Queen Music presents: Forever My Love No More

Not only did Schloss contribute to the soundtrack, he also played the part of Kevin in the film.

Quantum Conundrum: A Portal-Like Puzzle Shooter - Reviewed
Let's just get this out of the way: Yes, Quantum Conundrum is a first-person puzzler, just like Portal. Yes, it was designed by Kim Swift, the project lead on Portal. And yes, it shares some of Portal's core traits: there's a physics-altering arm device, a goofy omniscient narrator, and an alarming number of buttons that need to be pushed.
But Quantum Conundrum crawls out from its spiritual predecessor's mighty shadow and stands, triumphant, as a game that's unique, raw, and brilliant in many ways. Finally, Portal has a worthy rival.

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
In New Jersey, the state Democratic party appears to be running robocalls targeting Republican base voters, bashing Chris Christie (R) and urging them to "Remember Chris Daggett's words: 'It's never wrong to vote for the right person.'"
That's a line, by the way, that Daggett (I) likes to use.
You can here the audio here in an article by the Star-Ledger, the New Jersey paper that first reported the story.
Daggett's campaign has said a lot about the frustration of New Jersey voters. And about just what an impact he's had -- albeit inconsistent. As Daggett's numbers started to rise, Christie's started to drop, and the Republican Governors Association took notice.
It started running ads against Daggett, his negatives started going up and Christie started pulling back into the lead or at least closer in most polls. When all the votes are counted Tuesday, if Christie pulls it off, the RGA certainly deserves some credit here.
Democrats are noticing the dropoff and that voters who were inclined to Christie are starting to go back to him, and are now trying to figure out a way to stop the flow.
Again, Daggett won't win here, but his impact will be something political observers will have to factor in when talking about this race. Of course, Jon Corzine's (D) camp acts like Daggett doesn't even exist, and that his candidacy (and Christie's floundering) have nothing to do with the fact that their candidate even has a shot.

Set sail from Athens on your 9 night Across The Mediterranean Cruise onboard the magnificent Azamara Journey. Your 10 day cruise visits 9 ports of call including Athens, Thira (Santorini), Chania (Crete), Taormina - Sicily, Sorrento, Civitavecchia (Rome), Florence and Pisa (Livorno), St.tropez, Barcelona.
Set sail from Athens on your 9 night Across The Mediterranean Cruise onboard the magnificent Azamara Journey. Your 10 day cruise visits 9 ports of call including Athens, Thira (Santorini), Chania (Crete), Taormina - Sicily, Sorrento, Civitavecchia (Rome), Florence and Pisa (Livorno), St.tropez, Barcelona.
Piraeus (Athens), Greece
Athens has quite a reputation to live up to. Named for Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, the city is credited with being the cradle of European civilization and birthplace of democracy. Ruins and relics of its glory days are scattered throughout the modern city, popping up where you least expect them. Its crowning glory is the Acropolis, perched atop a hillside, and covered in carved and columned temples of varying degrees of antiquity.
Not quite so old is the Plaka, an appealing neighborhood for a stroll down cobblestone streets, past old mansions and a plethora of outdoor tavernas ideal for watching the world go by, while munching tasty Greek snacks.
Santorini, Greece
Your daydream of a Greek island meets reality in Santorini—its whitewashed villages cling to cliff sides, and bright blue roofs reflect the sea and sky. So beautiful is it, that you can almost believe the myths that claim it as the birthplace of gods.
Born itself as a volcanic cone, the island blew its top in 1450 BC, its center sank, and it assumed its current crescent shape, outlined by three main islands. The capital, Fira, a pedestrian haven with narrow, meandering cobblestone lanes, is reachable only by cable car, donkey, or for the fit and fearless, a flight of 600 steps.
Chania, Crete, Greece
On the northwest side of Crete rests the old Venetian port of Chania, the second largest city on the island. Inhabited since the Neolithic era, Chania is a modern city built over the ruins of the ancient city of Kydonia.
Stroll through the old city and see how it has been touched by the intersection of diverse civilizations throughout history, with a mixture of Greek, Venetian, and Ottoman influences on every corner: Minoan ruins, Byzantine churches, and impressive frescos. The Archaeological Museum of Chania houses an extensive collection of Minoan and Roman artifacts, and with replicas of ships dating back to the Bronze Age, the Naval Museum is a great way to explore the ages of Chania.
Discover the Byzantine collection in the restored Venetian Church of San Salvadore, or venture to the nearby national park and hike the Samaria Gorge. Local handicrafts make for great shopping or relax at a seaside restaurant and cafe.
Giardini Naxos (Taormina), Sicily, Italy
This island off the tip of the Italian boot is the largest in the Mediterranean. Mountainous and rugged, its highest point is the tip of that infamous firebrand, the still active Mt. Etna at 10,900 feet.
Enriched by this volcanic soil, the surrounding farmland produces lush crops of olives, citrus, and grapes. Climbing higher you'd find forests, the scars left by old lava flows, and eventually the crater where smoke and simmering lava is sometimes visible.
Taormina is a lovely small medieval town perched on high cliffs, with spectacular views over the bay and rugged coastline below.
Sorrento, Italy
A warming sun and gentle sea breezes have been attracting visitors to this fair spot for two millennia. Its reputation as a playground of the ancient rich and famous resulted in the building of lavish villas and palaces, an emperor relocated to the Isle of Capri nearby, and over the centuries it has been a haven for artists and artisans, writers and poets, politicians and philosophers, and all manner of aristocrats.
The massive eruption of nearby Vesuvius in AD 79 caused considerable damage, but the resulting volcanic ash is responsible for Sorrento's modern day fertility, thriving olive orchards, and excellent wine.
Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
Rome has something special to offer to all visitors, no matter their interests and tastes. Whether you daydream about fighting with gladiators in the Coliseum, debating with togaed senators in the Forum, tossing a coin in a fabled fountain, or being awestruck by the magnificence of St. Peter's Basilica and Michelangelo's masterpieces, Rome seems to live up to its sobriquet as the Eternal City.
When you need sustenance, today's Rome will provide delizioso pasta e vino. Or perhaps you draw strength from a little retail therapy—the Italians are also renowned for their sense of style.
Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy
Ah, Florence—sublime birthplace of the Renaissance, its historic center full to bursting with elegant squares, imposing palaces, magnificent churches, and museums with such an abundance of riches it could make an art lover weep for joy.
The list of illustrious names connected with this city is mind-boggling: Botticelli, Dante, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galileo. Other colorful and fascinating characters were of dubious reputation: Machiavelli, and the religious extremist Savonarola, with his bonfire of the vanities. For many years the city was ruled by the powerful Medici family, patrons of the arts and bankers to the papacy, whose line included six kings and two popes.
Saint-Tropez, France
Saint-Tropez conjures up images of sun-drenched beaches, tanned bodies, and jet setters enjoying martinis on the decks of luxury yachts. Indeed it is a glamorous playground for the wealthy, but anyone can spend an afternoon at a sidewalk café, watching the spectacle unfold. The south of France played a role in the history of modern painting, its clear light inspiring artists, so that even today many live and work here.
For mesmerizing views, head up to the 16th century Citadel. Or stroll the old town, overflowing with restaurants, trendy boutiques, and galleries.
Barcelona, Spain
Dynamic Barcelona is all about architecture, from the magnificent medieval buildings of the Gothic Quarter to the Modernist movement typified by the work of Antoni Gaudi. Though his materials were stone and metal, his forms were organic, awash in curves, swirls, and colors. His masterpiece is the amazing Church of the Sagrada Familia, colossal and as yet unfinished, though construction began in 1882.
A contemporary contribution to the scene is Ricardo Bofill's post modernist National Theater of Catalonia, an imaginative combination of classical and modern design, with a greenhouse-like lobby.
