From AP:
By CHARMAINE NORONHA, Associated Press Writer
Sun Nov 2, 7:26 am ET
"Sarkozy" – I must say, Governor Palin, I loved the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin Palin!
Palin – Oh, good, thank you, yes.
"Sarkozy" – That was really edgy. I really loved you.
Palin – Well, good.
We could try go hunting by helicopter like you did. I never did that. Like we say in French, "on pourrait tuer des bebe phoques, aussi" ( we can kill some baby seals too) …… I just love killing those animals … mmm mmm! Take away life, that is so fun. I'd really love to come – so long as we don't bring Vice President Cheney !
We have a lot in common also except from my house I can see Belgium …
You know my wife is a popular singer and a former hot top model and she's so hot in bed. She's even written a song for you. In French it's called "Du rouge a levres sur une Cochonne" (i.e. "Lipstick on a Pig")
The French Canadian humourist duo, Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel, who hosts a radio show on Montreal station CKOI are well known for prank calling celebrities.
Some of their biggest victims have been Bill Gates, Mick Jagger and former French president Jacques Chirac.
But this time they nabbed the biggest dumbest moose of all, uber-bimbo Polar Palin!!
Palin's so fucking stupid she can't see through the ridiculously OTT Inspector Clouseau accent and cannot understand any of the prankster's obvious and many piss-takes!
Priceless and perfectly timed!
That phenomenon Joe the Plumber. That's not your husband, right?
However, there is a scary aspect arising from the fun! Yap, Palin tells the pranksters she thinks she will be President in 8 years!!
President Palin? Fucking hell! What an horrific thought!
Maybe that crazy Book of Revelation was right after all!
Especially the prescient passage; "behold a door opened in the sky, and there came a demonic woman of empty skull who travelled in a huge hovering bird, and did shoot the holy moose a hundred times in the head with a stick of fire, while shrieking "you betcha", "you betcha", "you betcha" ….. "
Watch (well, listen to) the full version of Palin punking below!!
TORONTO – Sarah Palin unwittingly took a prank call Saturday from a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and telling her she would make a good president someday.
"Maybe in eight years," replies a laughing Palin.
The Republican vice presidential nominee discusses politics, the perils of hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, and Sarkozy's "beautiful wife," in a recording of the six-minute call released Saturday and set to air Monday on a Quebec radio station.
Palin campaign spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt confirmed she had received the prank call.
"Governor Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy and other celebrities, in being targeted by these pranksters. C'est la vie," she said.
The call was made by a well-known Montreal comedy duo Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel. Known as the Masked Avengers, the two are notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state.
Audette, posing as Sarkozy, speaks in an exaggerated French accent and drops ample hints that the conversation is a joke. But Palin seemingly does not pick up on them.
He tells Palin one of his favorite pastimes is hunting, also a passion of the 44-year-old Alaska governor.
"I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun," the fake Sarkozy says.
He proposes they go hunting together by helicopter, something he says he has never done.
"Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done," Palin counters. "We can kill two birds with one stone that way."
The comedian jokes that they shouldn't bring Cheney along on the hunt, referring to the 2006 incident in which the vice-president shot and injured a friend while hunting quail.
"I'll be a careful shot," responds Palin.
Playing off the governor's much-mocked comment in an early television interview that she had insights into foreign policy because "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska," the caller tells her: "You know we have a lot in common also, because … from my house I can see Belgium."
She replies: "Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes."
When Audette refers to Canadian singer Steph Carse as Canada's prime minister, Palin replies: "Well, he's doing fine and yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder." Canada's prime minister is Stephen Harper.
Palin praises Sarkozy throughout the call and also mentions his wife Carla Bruni, a model-turned-songwriter.
"You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife," Palin says. "Oh my goodness, you've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours."
The Sarkozy impersonator tells Palin his wife is "so hot in bed" and then informs her that Bruni has written a song for her about Joe the Plumber entitled "Du rouge a levres sur une cochonne" — which translates as "Lipstick on a Pig."
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama derided his Republican challenger John McCain's call for change in Washington as "lipstick on a pig," days after Palin made a lipstick joke at the Republican convention. The McCain-Palin campaign then released an ad implying Obama was calling Palin a pig with that remark.
The caller asks Palin if Joe the Plumber is her husband and adds: "We have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit."
He also tells the Alaska governor that he loved the "documentary" made about her and referred to a pornographic film with a Palin look-alike made by Hustler founder Larry Flynt.
She answers tentatively, "Ohh, good, thank you, yes."
The callers then reveal the prank and identify themselves and their radio station.
"Ohhh, have we been pranked?" Palin asks before handing the phone to an aide who ends the call.
Obama's campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs, commenting on the prank, said: "I'm glad we check out our calls before we hand the phone to Barack Obama."
The full Palin prank transcript !
The Masked Avengers, notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state, notched its latest victory Saturday when it released a recording of a six-minute call with Palin, who thought she was talking with Nicolas Sarkozy.
Below is a transcript of a prank phone call between Quebec comedy duo "The Masked Avengers" and Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, released Saturday.
Sarah Palin: This is Sarah.
Masked Avengers: Ah, yeah, Gov. Palin.
Palin: Hello.
Avengers: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment.
P: Oh, it's not him yet, they're saying. I always do that.
A: Yes, hello, Gov. Palin.
P: Hello, this is Sarah, how are you?
A: Fine, and you? This is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?
P: Oh, it's so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.
A: Oh, it's a pleasure.
P: Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I. We love you and thank you for taking a few minutes to talk to me.
A: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American adviser Johnny Hallyday, you know?
P: Yes, good.
A: Excellent. Are you confident?
P: Very confident and we're thankful that polls are showing that the race is tightening and…
A: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now, my dear?
P: I feel so good. I feel like we're in a marathon and at the very end of the marathon you get your second wind and you plow to the finish.
A: You see, I got elected in France because I'm real and you seem to be someone who's real, as well.
P: Yes, yeah. Nicolas, we so appreciate this opportunity.
A: You know I see you as a president one day, too.
P: Maybe in eight years.
A: Well, I hope for you. You know, we have a lot in common because personally one of my favourite activities is to hunt, too.
P: Oh, very good. We should go hunting together.
A: Exactly, we could try go hunting by helicopter like you did. I never did that. Like we say in French, on pourrait tuer des bebe phoques, aussi.
P: Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done. We can kill two birds with one stone that way.
A: I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun. I'd really love to go, so long as we don't bring along Vice-President Cheney.
P: No, I'll be a careful shot, yes.
A: Yes, you know we have a lot in common also, because except from my house I can see Belgium. That's kind of less interesting than you.
P: Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes.
A: Some people said in the last days and I thought that was mean that you weren't experienced enough in foreign relations and you know that's completely false. That's the thing that I said to my great friend, the prime minister of Canada Stef Carse.
P: Well, he's doing fine, too, and yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder.
A: I was wondering because you are so next to him, one of my good friends, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois, have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies?
P: I haven't seen him at one of the rallies but it's been great working with the Canadian officials. I know as governor we have a great co-operative effort there as we work on all of our resource-development projects. You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife. Oh my goodness, you've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours.
A: Thank you very much. You know my wife Carla would love to meet you, even though you know she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today.
P: Well, give her a big hug for me.
A: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she's so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.
P: Oh my goodness, I didn't know that.
A: Yes, in French it's called de rouge a levre sur un cochon, or if you prefer in English, Joe the Plumber… it's his life, Joe the Plumber.
P: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism.
A: I just want to be sure. That phenomenon Joe the Plumber. That's not your husband, right?
P: That's not my husband but he's a normal American who just works hard and doesn't want government to take his money.
A: Yes, yes, I understand we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit.
P: Right, that's what it's all about, the middle class and government needing to work for them. You're a very good example for us here.
A: I see a bit about NBC, even Fox News wasn't an ally as much as usual.
P: Yeah, that's what we're up against.
A: Gov. Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?
P: Ohh, good, thank you, yes.
A: That was really edgy.
P: Well, good.
A: I really loved you and I must say something also, governor, you've been pranked by the Masked Avengers. We are two comedians from Montreal.
P: Ohhh, have we been pranked? And what radio station is this?
A: CKOI in Montreal.
P: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters.
A: CK…hello?
Sarkozy's the small one!

The Brain Emporium
The Brain Emporium offers Cleveland elders an opportunity to refute the adage "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."
Imagine a gym focused on increasing mental strength and flexibility instead of physical fitness. Three years ago, Dr. TJ McCallum, an associate professor of psychology at Case Western Reserve University, envisioned such a place—where local elders would have the opportunity to exercise their brains like they exercise their bodies. This summer his vision has come to fruition with the opening of The Brain Emporium, Northeast Ohio's first computerized brain fitness center. Located in the Fairhill Partners complex, the facility gives older adults the opportunity to work with cutting-edge brain-training programs at little to no cost.
Judson resident Josephine Rich has found her participation in The Brain Emporium both enjoyable and helpful: "This is great because I feel that I am benefiting from all of this fun," she exclaims. "I enjoy the challenge. I really think my recall is better. I find that I don't have to refer to my lists as often."
The Brain Emporium's computerized programs are designed to engage and stimulate different areas of cognition, including memory, visual-spatial abilities, mental flexibility, processing speed, language and planning. Another regular Brain Emporium attendee, Mickey Lewin, believes such games have helped improve her memory. "People can tell me numbers and I don't have to have them repeat it," she observes. "I don't reverse numbers like I used to. I remember more things now."
In addition to offering a diverse array of brain fitness computer programs, the Brain Emporium encourages older adults to engage in physical movement, thereby building coordination and agility, while playing virtual tennis, bowling, or darts on a Nintendo Wii.
Visitors to The Brain Emporium work with Dr. McCallum and his graduate student assistants to design training regimens tailored to the individual's interests and abilities. The facility is also attended by Intergenerational School students, who can earn privileges to volunteer at the Brain Emporium and instruct the older adults on the Wii.
The Brain Emporium is open to the public Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; however, hours may increase to meet growing demand. Dr. McCallum is also currently creating a didactic class that incorporates brain fitness programs and educational information designed to help older adults maintain a healthy brain.
For questions or additional information about The Brain Emporium, please contact Dr. McCallum at firstname.lastname@example.com or 216-368-6470.

To be honest, I'd been patiently waiting to have the honour to shoot a wedding at the rustic, country side venue of Bird's Eye Cove Farm. Being one of the top venues on Vancouver Island made this a very desirable place for me to visit. When I was hired on by Andrea and Trevor to photograph their Bird's Eye Cove wedding I immediately got excited; It was finally time!!
The more I chatted with Andrea, the more psyched I became about having the opportunity to capture her and Trevor's wedding and not because of where it was being held, but because of how much they cared for one another. I couldn't wait to have the chance to tell their story for them and make their wedding day a memory they will never forget.
Andrea, Trevor and the rest of their guests made their way from Seattle to Vancouver Island. Both the bride and the groom preparations took place in the Nanaimo Harbour at the Coast Bastion Hotel. Just before heading to the ceremony, Andrea and Trevor opted to do a first look. Andrea took Trevor's breath away. I had only just met the two of them but it was that moment that I knew they were utterly in love.
I left Andrea and Trevor's wedding that day feeling as if I just spent the entire day with the nicest, most loving people I've ever met before. Thank you once again for this sensational day. I hope these photographs bring you back to just how amazing your wedding day was. Much Love -KBxo

Nairobi - Green City in the Sun
The city of Nairobi is known by many names. The capital of Kenya, it has been called the 'Green city in the Sun' and 'Nai-robbery' due to its high crime rates. The original name however, is a Maasai term meaning a 'stream of cool water'. The city originated as a transport hub and since then has expanded upwards and outwards to accommodate a population of over three million people! Its diminutive colonial buildings jostle for space with high-rises and concrete apartment blocks.

Originally we were not going to have a baby shower; however, our family and close friends really wanted to do something for Adison so we decided to do something small. I found this vintage inspired headband and bloomer set on Zulily and immediately fell in love with it and I wanted to incorporate it into the shower. My mom told me to pick out whatever I wanted and she would make it happen. How sweet was that? Everything turned out perfectly. I wanted a simple vintage inspired theme that would be elegant, but not expensive.
The picture above shows my cake and the color scheme. We went with pale pinks, ivories, and white. The cake turned out absolutely beautiful. The booties on the top of the cake were so cute. I still have them in the freezer :-)
This tray was my grandmothers. She is no longer with us, so by using it I felt like we were including her. I found the teacup and saucers at a local thrift shop. We had a florist do the arrangements in them for the decorations. The larger arrangement shown was done in a vase I already own. It was done using silk flowers; however, the smaller ones were done using real flowers.
This was the table set up for gifts. This was before everyone arrived and it become overflowing! We are so blessed to have so many amazing people in our lives that wanted to celebrate the birth of our baby girl!
My mom made this diaper cake with an actual headband and tutu. I plan on getting her pictures made in it with she is a little bigger.
This is an up close view of the cake. Amy's Cakes, a local baker, did the cake for me and it not only turned out gorgeous, but tasted great as well. Of course the cake was strawberry!
Here is a picture of the headband and bloomer set that I ordered. This was the inspiration for the entire shower!
My sister-in-law made the punch for me. It was a beautiful blush color and tasted amazing! The food was kept to finger foods and fruit. We kept everything simple and it was exactly how I imagined it!
As I sit here and type this I am holding my beautiful baby girl. She is three weeks old today and I could not be prouder to have her in my arms. I am incredibly blessed to have two amazing kids. I will do a post on her birth in a couple of days! Now that my pregnancy is over I plan to get back to blogging more!
Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

OGDEN — Move over, pizza. You're not the only delivery game in town anymore.
A smartphone app that has drivers delivering restaurant takeout orders is now available — sort of — in Weber and Davis counties. From the folks who gave the world Uber comes UberEATS, which takes the concept of that popular ride-sharing app and basically applies it to your food.
RELATED: Uber to begin Ogden service Friday with 'All Out in Ogden' event
Back in September, UberEATS began delivery from almost 50 restaurants in Salt Lake County. Since then, a very limited selection in Weber and Davis counties has been added to the UberEATS family. Indeed, after poking around on the UberEATS website, it appears the only participating restaurants right now are Barbacoa Mexican Grill in Ogden, Tonyburgers in Clinton, and various McDonald's locations.
Here's how the "food delivery platform" works, according to the UberEATS.com website:
RELATED: McDonald's rolls out delivery to New York in bid to renew growth
Using the app, you scroll through the list of participating businesses, or search for a particular cuisine or restaurant. Once you've found your desired restaurant, click on it to see the available menu items. Additional clicks on food items will add them to your cart. At check out, you'll see an estimated delivery time and the total price including tax and a "booking fee."
And those who are really hungry can even track their orders online.
"First you'll see the restaurant accept and start prepping," the UberEATS website explains. "Then, when the order's almost ready, a nearby Uber partner — in a car, on a bike, or scooter — will go to the restaurant to pick it up. Next, they'll drive or ride to you. You'll be able to see their name and photo and track progress on the map."
Typical booking fees, which cover the cost of food delivery, are $4.99 to $5.99. These apply no matter how large or small the order.

The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights:UnitedHealth Group, Cablevision Systems, Viacom, DIRECTV and Time Warner Cable
Feb 28, 2013, 09:30 EST
CHICAGO, Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:UNH), Cablevision Systems Corporation (NYSE:CVC), Viacom Inc. (Nasdaq:VIAB), DIRECTV (Nasdaq:DTV) and Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE:TWC).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101027/ZIRLOGO)
Get the most recent insight from Zacks Equity Research with the free Profit from the Pros newsletter: http://at.zacks.com/?id=5513
Here are highlights from Wednesday's Analyst Blog:
UnitedHealth Expands Internationally
In an effort to expand its international business UnitedHealthcare International, a unit of U.S. health insurer UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:UNH) has announced a global health insurance program called Global Solutions.
The program will be available for all the employers, small as well as big, based internationally.
UnitedHealth has tied up with MAXIMA Insurance, Inc., to provide its international health insurance service in the Czech Republic. In this region the company will be targeting all the expatriates which are mandated to hold a medical coverage as per the immigration rules of the country.
The insurer has also tied up with Medical Services Organisation in South Africa to provide cashless claim service. UnitedHealth will be providing its service to more than 30 countries in the African continent.
Yet another instance of UnitedHealth expanding its international operation was its buyout of Amil Participações S.A. of Brazil.
It is the long term strategy of the company to expand its international operations which provide a healthy margin. The roll out of this new program marks a strategic move by UnitedHealth, indicating aggressive international expansion at a time when growth in the domestic markets is facing pressures from the new regulations. Over time we expect more deals from the company, pertaining to its international expansion where it faces less competition.
UnitedHealthcare International has business operations in 123 countries across the globe.
Cablevision Brings Viacom to Court
Cablevision Systems Corporation (NYSE:CVC) recently filed an antitrust law suit against media giant Viacom Inc. (Nasdaq:VIAB) for forcing the former to take up bundled TV channels, inclusive of less popular networks like CMT, MTV Hits, Nick Jr, Nicktoons, Palladia and VH1 Classic. The case is under wraps and not available for public viewing.
With respect to the litigation, Viacom believes that these Pay-TV operators actually gain from such deals as they get more channels at low cost.
At the end of last year, Cablevision and Viacom entered into a long-term agreement, under which the former will carry Viacom's network for an undisclosed amount. However, we believe that mounting programming costs and failure to strike a better bargain with Viacom has forced Cablevision to file such litigation against the media giant.
Generally, most media companies follow the similar business pattern of bundling their low rated channels with other popular channels, hence inflating the channel package rates.
Such harmful practices have not only increased programming expenses of cable and satellite TV operators but at the same time, have also affected margins in a big way. Moreover, the numbers of channel blackouts have also increased over the last year, resulting from disagreement between media partners and cable and satellite operators.
Last year, DIRECTV (Nasdaq:DTV) – the largest satellite TV operator in the U.S – failed to renew its contract with Viacom as the former was demanding a huge hike in fees, which resulted in blackout of channels for nine days. Finally, DIRECTV resumed its channel service by renewing the contract at a 20% higher rate.
Likewise, in 2012, higher demand for fees had forced Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE:TWC) to drop Ovation network while Dish Network Corp. too dropped AMC Network channels from their popular program lists.
So we believe that such serious allegation brought by Cablevision may raise big questions over the business model followed by the media companies.
Currently, Cablevision has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

If you're passionate about skincare and would like to help people look their best, consider a career in esthetics. As an esthetician, you will provide a wide variety of services, such as giving facials, making recommendations to maintain healthy skin or performing hair removal. The profession is licensed, which means that each state establishes specific standards an esthetician has to meet before she can begin marketing her services. Estheticians do not need to attend college, but they will have to get specialized training.
High School Education
In most states, licensed estheticians need a high school diploma or GED equivalency, and many esthetician schools also require completion of high school or an equivalency to begin training. A high school diploma also provides basic writing, communication and accounting skills needed to manage your business, interact with customers, market your services and keep track of finances.
Beauty School
Every state requires that estheticians attend courses designed to teach them skincare techniques such as exfoliation and facial massage, along with safe practices (hygiene) and federal and state safety regulations. These training courses may be offered through a beauty school or a state-certified program. Some large spas also offer training programs designed to meet state licensing requirements. The number of classes you'll need to take and the time needed to complete your training varies from state to state.
Educational Options
While you don't have to go to college to become an esthetician, some community colleges offer two-year associate's degrees or certificate programs in cosmetology or esthetics. Although cosmetology and esthetics can be different careers, some cosmetology programs meet state requirements for graduates to practice either cosmetology or esthetics. Other states have separate requirements for cosmetologists and estheticians. Some high-end employers may require that their employees attend or graduate college, and estheticians who work in a medical setting may need to complete an associate's degree in paramedical aesthetics.
Licensing Requirements
After you complete your training, you'll have to become licensed in your state. The majority of states require 600 hours of training to obtain a license, but some states require as little as 250 hours, and others may require 1,000 hours or more. States generally require that you pay a fee and complete a certain number of supervised hours -- which may be in addition to the number of hours required in the classroom. Estheticians must take a board examination, either in cosmetology in states that do not have a separate esthetics license, or in esthetics. The exam generally has a written and practical component. Some states require estheticians to attend regular continuing education classes to retain their licenses. The number of mandatory hours of continuing education units (CEU) also varies by state.

A close race might be heating up for American League MVP, with Mike Trout, Jose Altuve, and Mookie Betts at the front of the pack statistically. Whether Trout cements his lead in Wins Above Average over the final six weeks of the season or Altuve or Betts help their cases by helping their teams make playoff runs remains to be seen.
Whatever happens, it wouldn't be the first time an MVP race has come down to the wire. Here are five close instances:
1. 1947 American League, Joe DiMaggio 202 votes, Ted Williams 201: Maybe the most notorious MVP vote in baseball history. Williams won his second Triple Crown, but missed winning MVP by a single vote to DiMaggio. David Halberstam wrote in Summer of '49 that a Boston writer failed to give Williams so much as a 10th place vote, which would have been enough.
2. 1955 National League, Roy Campanella 226 votes, Duke Snider 221: Extraordinarily close race that never gets talked about. The Brooklyn Dodgers won their first and only World Series in 1955, so someone from their team was going to be MVP. The only problem was figuring out who. Snider might win easily today thanks to sabermetrics. In 1955, though, Campanella's numbers looked comparable with his veteran presence likely enough to put him over the top. He'd also campaigned since early in the season for the award, following a dismal 1954 campaign.
3. 1962 National League, Maury Wills 209 votes, Willie Mays 202: Mays led the San Francisco Giants to the World Series with 49 homers, 141 RBI, and 10.5 WAR. Wills played for the second place Los Angeles Dodgers and trailed Mays by 4.5 WAR, but broke Ty Cobb's single season stolen base record to edge the Say Hey Kid. Wills told the Los Angeles Times he expected a three-way race between himself, Mays, and teammate Tommy Davis who hit .346 and finished a not-too-distant third.
4. 1995 American League, Mo Vaughn 308 votes, Albert Belle 300: Statistically, Belle should have been an easy choice, powering the Cleveland Indians to their first World Series appearance since 1954 with 50 home runs. But he was Albert Belle, so another honoree was located. "I feel sorry for Belle, and not just because his temper cost him the MVP award voted on by the baseball writers," Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Bill Livingston wrote. "I feel sorry for a man who is so joyless, when he created so much happiness for this city. And I feel bad for a man who hears the music, but cannot dance."
5. 1966 National League, Roberto Clemente 218 votes, Sandy Koufax 208: Clemente won his first and only MVP in 1966, a year where he led the National League in no offensive statistics and his team finished third. To do it, Clemente beat out the National League champion's ace who'd just gone 27-9 with a 1.73 ERA and 317 strikeouts. Clemente's manager Harry Walker began campaigning for him in midsummer. Koufax also waited until two days after the award came out to announce his retirement, which might have given him a boost in voting.

Lyrics by Jerry Adler, music by Robert Allen
Popularized by Doris Day, summer 1958, Columbia Records.
Everybody loves a lover;
I'm a lover: everybody loves me!
Anyhow, that's how I feel.
Wow! I feel just like a Pollyanna!
I should worry? Not for nothing!
Everybody loves me, yes, they do!
And I love everybody since I fell in love with you!
Who's the most popular personality?
I can't help thinking it's no one else but me!
Gee, I feel just about ten feet tall,
Having a ball! Guess you might call me a Pollyanna!
Everybody loves a lover...
(Instrumental leading to the first four lines and lines 9-12 being sung together in counterpoint. When this is done, the last phrase of the twelfth line is then sung as,
"Well, I feel just like a Pollyanna!"
Then the song concludes with the four lines beginning, "I should worry?"

Ferulic acid is a naturally-ocurring antioxidant and antimicrobial compound used in biomedical and cosmetic formulations to prevent oxidative stress and aging, but suffers from poor stability. To improve stability, ferulic acid was chemically incorporated into a poly(anhydride-ester) backbone that subsequently exhibited controlled, sustained release of the bioactive upon hydrolytic degradation.

Alila Villas Uluwatu
High up on the limestone plateau of Bali's Bukit Peninsula sits the Alila Villas Uluwatu. An eco friendly hotel where dramatic, modern design blends in with the natural surroundings of the Indian Ocean and stunning Indonesian scenery. Relaxation is top of the list here, whether it be chilling out around the 50 metre infinity pool or heading for a cliff top cabana for a slap up (and utterly gourmet) dinner. Relax in the cliff top pool and bar where you really will feel on top of the world and reach new heights as you dine 70 meters above sea level where fresh and organic ingredients are cooked using Western techniques producing a culmination of east and west in one dish.
Just half an hour from Bali's international airport The Alila Villas are perched high atop the cliffs of on the high cliffs of the beautiful Indonesian island of Bali. With a view of the Indian Ocean as far as the eye can see, it is the perfect place to escape the stresses of modern life and immerse yourself in the calm and serene Asian lifestyle that we really need to take a few ideas from.
Your room
You know a great hotel when the design allows the outside world to flow seamlessly within the inside one. Alila Villas Uluwatu's 65 pool villas are all about private space, incredible comfort and views. Although the design is distinctive, this is not at the expense of the surroundings as the open-plan design incorporates lava flat rocks and bamboo ceiling to make you feel at one with the breathtaking views. Admire them from your bathtub, private pool or your outdoor shower – choosing where to start is likely to be the hardest part of your stay.
Why we like it
Bukit's dramatic, savannah landscape is the inspiration for the resort's design and accordingly, the Alila Villas Uluwatu achieves a harmony with nature palpable to all who stay there. Gorgeous interiors blend contemporary style with local Balinese accents. The open-plan design, unique flat lava rock roofs and bamboo ceiling allow the gentle sea breeze to flow in freely, while from the bed to the bathtub, every view is open to the outdoors.

Meet Fluffy
Sharing something just a little different for me, an image created digitally no paints, pencils of brushes were used in creating this, just fingers. During the week I downloaded a couple of 'free' apps for my iPad. Drawing Desk and Fingerpaint. These are so much fun have been playing most evenings and am starting to get the hang of them but guess it's the sort of thing that the more you learn and understand the more you realise you have to learn.
This one started with a silly finger sketch on Drawing Desk, saved that and re-opened it in upgraded version of Fingerpaint I purchased after falling hook line and sinker for the program. Using various tools in the program the original sketch was overdrawn and fluffy came into being. As someone with 3 moggies I am well aware of the cute kitten persona they show to their humans. Cat politics are quite straight forward, they are territorial hunters capable of a lot of straight talking with displays of teeth and clews, hence fluffy's dark side.
Edited in Pixelmator, the photo editor I use on my Mac Air. If you had asked me a year ago I'd have said no way would I be an Apple Junkie oh how wrong I would have been just 2 months later I went all Apple. iPad, iPhone & MacBook the works!

Entertaining the Troops (1982)
When you're a country like Israel and the going gets tough, and the media portrays us like it does, it's no wonder that Hollywood stars, when they come here, make sure to show an "even handedness" between us and our enemies. And how many Hollywood stars would ever come to Israel during a war, to entertain our soldiers?!
Well here's one:

Turkey is a Bird!
Having got that out of the way and off my chest, for ease of reading and pronunciation during the rest of this blog I will refer to the country as Turkey. I'm as lazy as anyone.
Anyway, what a fun trip! First, a brief summary:
The weather was generally very good, sunny and hot.
I met several interesting women.
I ate some great food, tasty and unique, and my stomach only rebelled enough to remind me I was in another country.
The bus trips were long and boring and the car trips were cramped.
I missed out on the balloon ride.
I visited what may now be the world's oldest known sanctuary.
I had a couple of great Turkish baths.
As always, it was over all too soon.
So, now that your appetite has been whetted for adventure, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Arrived in Istanbul mid-afternoon of April 20, and was met at the airport, as promised, by someone from my tour agency.
We drove along the coast road in the terrible Istanbul traffic and it took nearly an hour to get to the hotel, normally a 20-minute drive. My hotel, the Yusuf Pasha Konagi, was just a few downhill streets from the Blue Mosque and two streets from a major tourist restaurant area. As is my usual wont, I checked into the hotel and headed out for a reccy. Walked around the main square between the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia (a former mosque, now being converted into a museum), inhaling the air and aromas of the city.
I had a well-deserved beer at the Just Bar and then decided to wander over to the Han restaurant near the Basilica Cistern for dinner. I found a table on the rooftop terrace and ordered my meal of Kofte and Efes beer when suddenly a young Turkish woman approached my table and asked if she could join me. And I'd only been in Istanbul for a few hours. Luck of the Irish. So we had a nice dinner together and chatted all the while and even though she had to leave shortly after her meal it was definitely a nice beginning to my visit.
Up early in the morning (awakened by the call to prayer piercingly shouted over the minaret loudspeakers), I was picked up by my local tour guide after breakfast and the ten or so people in my group headed out for our walking tour of Istanbul. We did the Topkapi Palace and the Cistern and the Hippodrome and then I left the tour, having only signed on for half a day. I had made walking friends with Jody, a young Canadian woman who also happened to be staying at my hotel, and hoped I'd see her later in the day. Since the weather was turning sort of colder and rainier, I decided lunch and a Turkish bath were in order. I had a street lunch of doner kebob, which is like a tortilla wrap, then hit the Cemberlitas Bath House, which I had visited in my previous visits to Istanbul. Great place. I had my sweat and exfoliation and wash off and hot and cold soaks and I was ready once again to face the day.
I ran into Jody again back at the hotel and we decided to look for a good place for dinner. Up on that restaurant street I mentioned earlier we found the Byzantium Hotel, which has a rooftop terrace advertised as the best view in the area. So we ascended and got a window table overlooking the Sea of Marmara and had a nice, companionable dinner and chat. It's always nicer to dine with another person than alone, which is the only part of traveling solo that I would change. But at least this night and the previous one I was fortunate enough to share my meals with two lovely ladies. My luck was turning.
My Monday tour started with a hotel pickup at 12:30 pm. My van was right on time and we drove and drove and drove waaaay east of Istanbul and finally caught our boat near the Rumeldi Fortress. There were 14 of us on this tour even though the boat had ample space for three times that many. We had lunch on board and commenced our cruise to the eastern end of the Bosphorous, right at the entrance to the Black Sea. This was another surprise, as my itinerary didn't mention these details, just "Bosphorous cruise." I was surprised to find out that even as far east as the entrance to the Black Sea we were still technically in Istanbul! We docked just shy of the Black Sea entrance and then climbed the Huff n'Puff hill to a vista overlooking the Black Sea and had some time to walk around.
We arrived back at the Kabatas docks near the new town of Istanbul around PM and our van was to take us back to our hotels. The Istanbul traffic was so amazingly horrible that one hour later I still had not got back, but I was then within hailing distance so I bailed out of the van and walked the rest of the way. Only took me about 15 minutes, which was less time than the van would have taken. Do NOT drive in Istanbul! You have been warned.
I had a light dinner of pizza and beer and was picked up around 10 PM and transferred to one of the local bus stations for my so-looked-forward-to overnight six-hour bus ride to Canakkale, near the site of ancient Troy, my next tour. The bus left at midnight and I tried to sleep on the bus, but wasn't very successful. Each seat back had a small PC-type screen built into it showing TV shows and music videos. All I wanted to do was sleep, but I couldn't figure out how to turn my screen off. I pushed buttons and smacked the screen and jostled the seat, all to no avail. I finally pulled out my .38 and shot the damned thing.
We arrived at the outlying bus station around 5:15 AM; I got off the bus in a daze, when one of the other passengers told me I had to take the shuttle into the city center, so I threw my bags onto the shuttle van and away we went. I was dropped off at the port of Canakkale around 6:00 AM and it was lonely down there. Had to find a toilet quickly, which I did, and was so pleased to note it was a squatting toilet. Just what I wanted at six o'clock in the morning with very little sleep. Anyway, my itinerary said I had to make my way to the travel agent's office, implying it was out in the hinterlands somewhere. I had a street address and I asked a sleeping cabbie (happy to be awakened at that hour) and I asked the tourist office guy and four tired hotel reception guys and none of them knew where the travel agency was that I had to find. It was supposedly on the main street leading out of the port, but it was not at the address I had. Finally – finally – the last guy I asked pointed me to the Anzac Hostel on that main street and sure enough, the Hassle Free Travel Agency was tucked away in the back hall. How could I have missed it?
Naturally, the agency opened at 8:30, which was when my tour was to begin, so I had two early-morning hours to kill. I found an all-night diner and settled down for some toast and tea. As I was checking my schedule again, another guy walks up to me and asks, "Mr. Gary?" Turned out he was from the local travel agency and had gone out to the outlying bus station to meet me when my bus was supposed to arrive at 6 AM, but had missed me there as I was early. He came back to the port area and made many of the same rounds as I had, asking everyone if they'd seen a tired traveler staggering around the area. I was happy to see him as I could confirm my plans for the day. Whew.
The Fates picked me up at 8:30 in a van with six other intrepid travelers and away we went to the ancient site of Troy. I knew from previous reading that it would not be a major excavation site of ruins and buildings, and it wasn't. Grass-covered walls that did show the various levels of the rebuilt Troys, some discernible walkways and gates and that was about it. I did look out over the plains where Achilles met Hector (or Brad Pitt met Eric Bana, if you will), but otherwise there really isn't much to see. But it was exciting just being there, site of ancient Troy, even though the topless towers of Ilium had all toppled long ago.
It was only about a 90-minute tour, then several of us were whisked off to yet another bus station to catch our bus for Selcuk, with a change in Izmir. Transfer instructions were somewhat vague ("when you get to Izmir, just ask someone and they'll help you find the shuttle to Selcuk"), but what the heck, I trusted to luck and my finely-honed traveler's sense of Fate; I'd always made out and I always would. Naiveté, thy name is Gary.
So, another six-hour bus ride to the gigantic Izmir bus station (all main bus stations in Turkiye are gigantic) and sure enough, I just asked someone who looked like an official, directing travelers hither and yon, and he pointed me and some newly-acquired fellow traveler buddies to the Selcuk shuttle; we transferred our bags and were off again on the Road to Selcuk.
We arrived at the somewhat smaller Selcuk bus station around 9:30 PM and one of the bus company's reps greeted us and called our hotels for a pickup. Great service! So I found my hotel about 10 PM, tired and hungry and smelling really bad. A quick shower and a light repast in the hotel's rooftop restaurant revived me, however, and I was ready for a good night's sleep.
Wednesday, April 24, was hot and sunny and I was waiting for my tour of Ephesus. I had been there on my first visit to Turkiye in 1993 when I was on a cruise of the Greek Islands and it was unexpectedly wonderful. It was almost as good this time around, 20 years later. Hot and sunny, the tourist crowds were spread out enough so that it wasn't overly crowded. The library was still there and the public toilets (although you couldn't sit on the seats anymore, a change that was most unwelcome to photographers the world over). A good tour and an even better lunch rounded out the morning. We had the afternoon off and I wandered around the main shopping and restaurant area of tiny Selcuk, having a light dinner and several beers.
Thursday our pickup was again on time at 8:30 AM, and we made our three-hour drive to Pamukkale in record time – exactly three hours. We had a brief lunch and then toured the large and ancient city of Hierapolis, which once boasted a population of more than 100,000 people. Now it's mostly weather-beaten ruins. Included in this tour were Cleopatra's Pool (for those who wanted to swim) and the famous Pamukkale calcium pools. We walked the ancient ruins and naturally I had to wade in the pools, which I did. The pools of Pamukkale were interesting but quite crowded with tourists all wanting to wade in them, so the experience was maybe not as good as I'd hoped for; but still worthwhile.
Our van dropped me off at yet another bus station around 4:30 PM for my 9 PM bus to Göreme. I was getting quite used to Turkish bus stations by this point, and made several friends in the area while I was making sure I was in the right place. This would be my final big bus ride, a 9 ½ hour overnight trip to Göreme in Cappadocia, and I was so looking forward to it. This time, I somehow actually slept for 6-7 hours of the trip. Not bad.
We arrived in the small town of Göreme around 6:30 the following morning and as we drove into the small city center I was amazed to see hot air balloons all over the morning sky. Reminded me of Albuquerque. Upon exiting the bus, another official asked me for my hotel and then he flagged down a couple of guys in a pickup truck and asked them to take me there. It was only a couple of hundred meters from the bus station, but it was all uphill and I was happy for the ride. My hotel, the Kelebec Cave Hotel, was yet another pleasant surprise.
The entire Cappadocia area had been subjected to intense and ongoing volcanic eruptions over several million years ago and the successive weather and rains had resulted in a landscape of unearthly beauty. Hundreds, if not thousands, of house-sized cone-shaped rocks had formed, most of which consisted of layers of tufa and basaltic volcanic ash which had hardened over the millennia. The tufa is easily cut into, and ancient dwellers in the area had cut their living quarters into the living rock, making the weird structures into rock and cave homes, like the Flintstones. Or possibly the home of the Coneheads. Check the internet for pictures of this area – you'll be amazed, as was I.
Naturally, my room wasn't ready this early, and I had until 10:30 to wait until my next tour started. Luck me, to take an overnight bus ride and then almost immediately set out on a trek through the Cappadocian wilderness. Anyway, I was surprised and delighted when I was told my room was ready around 9 AM, so I could shower and clean up and brush my teeth. I was shown down a rock corridor into a rock-carved hotel room that reminded me suspiciously of Bilbo Baggins' quarters; it was a cave room and different from anywhere I'd ever stayed before. I was enchanted and would love staying there for a couple of nights, but, of course, I wouldn't want to make a Hobbit of it. (Sorry – I promised Gandalf I'd get that in).
We were picked up on time and driven to a remote spot in the wilderness where we began our hike in the Red Rose area. Another interesting place, full of cliffs and gorges and carved-into-the-rock dwellings and niches for birds that were raised by the cave-dwellers for their guano, among other things. After our hike we visited an old abandoned Greek hillside village and then the famous Pasabags Fairy Chimneys, that really do look like mushrooms heads on top of thinner stalks. It was like being on another planet.
Lunch was to be special that day. We were again driven out into the canyons and cliffsides where we descended a steep set of steps and rocks down to the valley floor and, after a short walk, found another cave dwelling, this time a private restaurant owned by the tour agency. A great meal gathered around a large table, set in the Cappadocian sunshine. Wonderful food, fun companions, great weather, pretty much a perfect setting. Rather than climb back up that formidable cliff, several of us opted to go back by jeep, which was much better, believe me.
Not yet content to let us rest, our final stop of the day by the tour agency was the underground city of Kaymakli, dug over the centuries by the local inhabitants to escape invaders such as Genghi Khan. We went down to four of the eight levels. The rooms were large enough to stand in, but the connecting passages were a tight squeeze for lots of people, including Yours Truly. Claustrophobes need not take this tour, fascinating as it was.
After all that crawling around in underground cities I deserved another visit to the hammam, so that's what I did. Luckily the hotel had one on premises, so I treated myself to another sweat and scrub and wash. Aaaahhh, I could get used to that. I had dinner at the hotel; even though only a short walk to the center of town, it was all uphill coming back and I just didn't feel like fighting the slope.
Saturday, April 27, started with an early breakfast on the terrace. My van came by and our small group took off for a gorge around an hour's drive away. It was a long, deep gorge and we were to hike the entire damn thing: seven friggin' kilometers (that's about four-plus miles in American distances). Oh, joy. The entire hike took around 2-3 hours, with stops to admire the rock dwellings of early Christians who came here to avoid persecution. We had a really nice lunch on a tented raft in the river. I chatted with one of the other hikers, a young Turkish woman named – are you ready for this? – Halideh;. pronounced as close to "Holiday" as you can get. I love it; I met a woman named Holiday. How fun is that? After our leisurely lunch we vanned over to another monastery cut into the tufa rock hills and climbed around on that for a while. Gotta tell you, I was starting to get a touch weary of all that climbing. If I'd realized there was so much vertical climbing I'd have taken the tour with only downhill hikes. But I soldiered on like a trooper, making nearly all of the climbs.
In the morning I breakfasted and then packed up and awaited my pickup for the next phase of my adventure: a three-day tour into the wilds of eastern Anatolia. As always, I expected another small group tour with a van; boy, was I surprised again. Two guys showed up around 9:30 and loaded my suitcase into….a small four-seater car! No van! As I stood there wondering if this was just a transfer vehicle to something larger and more comfortable, a woman came up and introduced herself as Marina. I thought she was the tour guide. I was heartily confused.
We all got in the car, the driver and Turkish guy in front and Marina and me in back. As we started chatting, I came to realize that Marina was another traveler, like me, and that she and I were to be the tour for the next three days. The other two guys were Saffet, the driver, wrinkled and 50-ish with a lovely beak nose, and Ur, our actual tour guide. Oh, OK, I see now. That first day we were to drive from Göreme all the way to the Mt. Nemrut area. That meant eight-plus hours in the small, cramped back seat of a small car. I had thought our comfort would be paramount to the travel agency, but guessed wrong again.
Anyway, off we went. Marina was a Project Manager from Milan, Italian-thin and blonde and energetic, with 2-3 cameras hanging off her. She had our driver stop at select points just to take photos. This was her vacation and by the Great Horned Toad she was going to make the most of it. And she surely did, taking notes on all of Ur's descriptions of our sights and taking photos of everything and just having a great time talking to the local people and getting involved in her adventure. She was also a world traveler and enjoyed every minute of her journeys. We got along famously.
We stopped along the way for lunch and to taste some of the world-famous Anatolian ice cream, and you know what? It was astonishing! It's thick and creamy and made with goat's milk and may just be the best ice cream I have ever had. Ben and Jerry's isn't even in the ball park. Our travel plan called for us to get to the hotel that evening and then get up at 3:30 the following morning to drive to Mt. Nemrut and hike up its side to view the giant heads up there. We would have to hike up the mountain in the dark. I was not looking forward to that.
During our drive, however, Ur suggested we might want to drive straight through to Mt. Nemrut that afternoon, stopping at the sights we were to see tomorrow and arriving at Mt. Nemrut in time to hike up and watch the sun set instead of watching it rise on the morrow. Oooo, yeah, that sounded really good to me, not being a morning person. So that's what we did, adding another two-plus hours in the cramped car. Our slight plan change didn't deter our driver, Saffet 'The Mad Turk' Orczan, in the slightest and he kept the pedal to the metal all the way. There were times I wasn't sure if we'd make it around another mountain curve on those dirt roads.
We stopped at an old Roman bridge, then drove along a really nasty dirt road up to the jump-off point for the 300-meter hike to the top of Mt. Nemrut. The jumping off point was 1800 meters above sea level – that's 5,400 feet, for my American readers.
I gave it my best shot. I donned long pants and a long-sleeved shirt (it was much cooler at that elevation) and started up the rocky path to the summit. I made it about 100 meters or so and that was it for me. Gasping and panting and huffing and puffing, I could go no farther. I slunk down the trail with my head hung low, but at least able to breathe again. Ur and Marina danced up the side of that damn mountain as if it was an easy downhill slide. I hated them both. At least Ur took some pictures for me of the giant heads I didn't get to see. Ah, well, win some, lose some.
We arrived at our hotel in Adiyaman around 9:30 at night, just in time for a late dinner (!). Along the way I was thankful we'd done Mt. Nemrut in the evening, as I knew I wouldn't have been able to make the trek in the dark hours of the early morning by flashlight; as it turned out, I wouldn't have made it at all.
The next day was my best day of the entire trip. Poor Marina had gotten some bad bug from somewhere and had been up all night, running back and forth to the bathroom. Having done my time in Jaipur with Delhi Belly, I empathized. She was generally okay that day, but didn't eat anything too rich and took it pretty easy – at least for her.
Our first short stop was at the Ataturk Dam. It was okay, nice dam, but the most interesting thing about it, to me anyway, was that it dammed up the waters of the Euphrates River, birthplace of mankind just a short distance away in Syria in the fertile crescent. The ancient wonder of this area really was overwhelming.
Our second stop was Gobleki Tepe, which was truly and amazingly fascinating. It's on a hill out in the middle of nowhere (literally!). The excavators were working diligently, and we were told they had only been excavating this site since the mid-1990s. What they had found was what archaeologists were now claiming was an 11,500-year-old temple, with T-shaped columns which had carving of animals on them, all of which were done, of course, with flint tools. The detail and cleanliness of lines in the carvings were astonishing. It was truly awe-inspiring to stand there and look at what our distant ancestors had wrought so long ago. One of the highlights of this trip.
We drove next to the village of Harran, which was composed of beehive mud brick houses. It was supposed to be where Abraham had lived lo those many years ago. Judging by the present state of the dwellings, one of them might actually still have been his place. We had tea with the owners and relaxed in the midday heat; another surprising place for which I was unprepared.
Okay, off to Sanliurfa and our hotel. It was in the middle of town so we could walk to our restaurant for lunch. Ur talked me into a Liver Kabob – hey! Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Not bad. Picture chunks of fried liver on a large thick tortilla, slathered with whatever interesting toppings are served with it, then folded up like a burrito. Yummy. Unfortunately, we were now in a very heavily Muslim area and the restaurants don't serve beer! What's a liver Kabob without beer, I ask you? Disappointed! I had to make do with a Coke. BTW, this area of Turkiye is famous for its kabobs. Apparently they have 739 different kinds of kabobs. I was ready to try them all, but ran out of time.
We walked around the downtown area after lunch, checking out the bazaar and nearby mosque and park. There was a small lake and the Pool of Abraham (he was very big in this area). The pool is filled with carp. Apparently Abraham was slingshotted by the evil king into what was then a raging fire covering a large plot of ground; when he landed the fire turned into water and the burning sticks turned into carp. At least that's how the story goes; you may form your own conclusions.
I finally got my beer at the hotel before we walked a short distance for our dinner on a rooftop terrace overlooking the park. I had Lamb Pide that night, continuing to get my fill of great Turkish food.
April 30 and we were on the final leg of our three-day tour. We only had enough time to visit the Gaziantep Mosaic Museum, which really was another excellent choice. Mosaics from the excavated city of Zeugma, near Gaziantep, parts of which were flooded when a new dam was constructed, are shown here in a wonderfully professional setting. The highlight of the exhibit, The Gypsy Girl, was also displayed in a separate darkened room, nicely done. Well worth a visit.
So, then I was dropped at the Gaziantep airport for my flight back to Istanbul. I said my goodbyes to driver Saffet and Guide Ur and, of course, to my traveling companion Marina. The flight was easy and I was again picked up at Istanbul by the reps from the wonderful Turkish Heritage Travel Agency and driven back to my original hotel. Another light dinner along Akbiyik Street and to bed.
May 1, my last day in Turkey. Since this is Worker's Day in much of the world, with Turkiye being no exception, I wanted to head up to Taksim Square to see what was going on. Unfortunately, the public transport was down for much of the day so I was unable to get there. I did see on the news that night that there was a "major demonstration" in Taksim Square, with riot police and protestors and fire hoses and all sorts of great riot control paraphernalia. Of course, we over in the Old Town area had no idea anything like that was going on, as it was tourist business as usual. Gotta love the MSM.
I did make my pilgrimage to the Grand Bazaar, which I was pleased to find open. The vendors and hawkers weren't nearly as aggressive as in previous visits, and I was only hassled a couple of times to buy things for which I had absolutely no use or need. I virtuously passed on all attempts to sell me things like a Paul and Shark warm-up jacket (I'm sure it was an original, as the price was only around $25 US) and a "genuine gold Rolex watch." It seems like the more counterfeit the items, the harder they try and sell them. I was unimpressed.
Outside the Bazaar, however, I did find one of those great Turkish ice cream stands, so I indulged myself with yet another cone. Damn near orgasmic. Once again, I chose the Byzantium Hotel's rooftop terrace overlooking the Sea of Marmara for dinner. I splurged this time and went for the Mixed Seafood plate, some nice house wine and finished off with baklava. I had a 5:45 AM pickup call for the airport, so I ended the perfect trip with an early bedtime.
I was early to the airport, with no traffic on the roads. I checked my bag (early again – love Turkish Airlines!) and cleared passport control. Breakfast was in order before my flight, after which, yep, you guessed it, I found yet another last-ditch Turkish ice cream stand, and happily licked and crunched my way to ice cream bliss at 7:30 in the morning in the Istanbul airport. People stared at me, as I was undoubtedly smiling inanely throughout my ice cream orgy, but I didn't care; they didn't know what they were missing.
The flight back to Budapest was quick and easy and then I was back in the Metro and walking up my street and into my flat and home again. One of my best trips. I saw parts of that ancient land I'd never seen before – and, in fact, never even knew existed. It seems the older I get and the more I read, the more I realize how little I know about our world. Gotta start reading more – I'm only spending around four hours a day reading now.
Next trip? Who knows? Watch this space for more exciting adventures from your favorite world traveler. I'll Trip till I Drip. Hey, it rhymes. All for now. Be good, be fruitful, watch your back, keep your powder dry and come visit me sometime.

|Tourism in development cooperation
Especially in poorer rural areas, tourism evokes hopes of economic improvement. But to ensure that those hopes are not deceived, it is necessary to bear in mind that tourism is a complex field of economics. Tourism requires a lot of know-how and professionalism and successful projects need long-term planning. It is also necessary that the local population is involved in the development of tourism in their home area and that the majority of the revenue from tourism benefits the locals. Therefore, a lot depends on the training of the locals employed in tourism which (e.g. as guides or hotel staff) learn how to give their guests an understanding of culture and environment of their homeland.
Advantage or disadvantage
Tourism can be a great opportunity, especially for poorer rural areas. But often it is not. Particularly in the so-called developing countries, we see numerous examples of non-participatory and socially unjust tourism development. Negative consequences encompass, amongst others, resource conflicts (e.g. the expulsion of fishermen from coastal areas because these areas are attractive to investors to build huge hotel complexes), commercial sexual exploitation of children (for more information see www.ecpat.net) or the unjust remuneration of those working in tourism.
Combating poverty
In international development cooperation, tourism is seen as a promising means to combat poverty. Numerous national development organisations (e.g. the German giz - Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) therefore support projects in tourism. The UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organisation) introduced the programme ST-EP (http://www.unwto.org/step) to alleviate poverty – its efficacy remains to be seen.
When discussing combating poverty by means of tourism development, an important issue is how success can be measured. Mere economic indicators – e.g. the share of revenues of tourism in the GDP – fail to reflect the full picture, as socio-cultural and ecological costs and benefits largely remain unconsidered.

"Obama wants to get legislation passed that makes it harder for Americans to donate to a charity of their choice, in order to make them fund his own programs which for the last two years have gone no where."
-Vincent Everett (CEO Works of Life)
Washington, DC (Vocus/PRWEB) February 17, 2011
On Monday President Obama unveiled his outline for the 2012 Federal Budget making good on his promise to propose broad cuts in domestic spending, leaving many advocates in the non-profit sector wondering how the spending freeze would affect the national economy as well social welfare programs designed to improve low-income communities.
There is real adamant pressure from Republican law makers backed by the Tea Party to cut domestic spending across the board, more so than last year according to a recent post by the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
As Obama makes the shift in his economic game plan from stimulus measures to reducing the annual deficit, funding for many of the programs the President once publicly supported are destined to be scrapped, says Vincent Everett (CEO Works of Life International Ministries).
Given the rise of Republican influence in the House, however, it might be the case that the Right is taking the ball from the President to run it more effectively, according to Everett. But even so, some experts in the philanthropic community including Mr. Everett fear that Obama is proposing to slash domestic spending in a way that would harm non-profit organizations and hamper economic recovery.
"Obama is not exactly trimming the size of the federal government in the sense the GOP intends, because he's cutting funding in all the wrong ways," says the Works of Life Chief Executive.
"The president is cutting funding for government-run social welfare programs, which isn't necessarily a bad thing since the most effective organizations in the non-profit sector would thrive," continues Everett, "But Obama wants to cut spending and increase taxes so that more money is going into the federal government with no real security that it will be spent wisely."
The Works of Life CEO wrote in a recent statement that Obama's 2012 Budget Proposal would use increased tax dollars to sustain a new system in which non-profits would have to compete to meet federal criteria in order to receive government grants. "This plan takes personal choice out of the equation," Everett states, "It's the worst thing that could happen to non-profit organizations; you have to pay more in taxes to run a program that, if this administration's past policy initiatives are any indication, will not even be effective anyway."
Obama's official budget for 2012 proposes to diminish the value of charitable tax deductions for Americans in the top economic bracket, 250K and up. This is the same as last year's budget proposal that failed in which Obama made the same suggestion to limit the rate of charitable tax deductions by thirty percent, which if passed this time around would stand at 28 percent.
"What we have here is the president commissioning increased revenue through higher taxes, which will turn the nation's wealthiest away from making a charity donation. It's exactly the same as asking them to donate to charity after you've taken away a chunk of their money. It's not going to work," says Everett, " Americans would have to bank on the success of government-run social welfare programs. But I wouldn't trust them to run a lemonade stand."
Organizations like Works of Life, non-profit, non-denominational faith-based charitable organizations, provide an alternative avenue towards social welfare that by in large runs independently from government interference, adds the charity's Director Don Smith. "The problem," mentions Smith, "is when the Federal Government starts to draw people away from charity only to mess things up even worse than they were before."
For over a decade Works of Life has worked alongside its affiliate charitable organizations Online Car Donation and the With Causes charitable network to encourage more Americans to donate to charity by expanding items eligible for a charitable tax deduction: potential donors can donate car, donate boat or yacht, or even donate aircraft that they no longer wish to own in order to create revenue to help fund a variety of worthy charitable causes.
Works of Life's charitable program has recently gained national attention; the organization has appeared in USA Today and Forbes magazine among other major news agencies. "We do the kind of work that the government never could. We're using what people want to give away to effect positive change in communities across the US, all while providing donors with a charitable tax deduction," writes Everett.
Obama announced in his official Budget Proposal speech that he has to make cuts to programs held dear to his heart in order to ameliorate the annual deficit and ensure future economic prosperity. These are programs that the President said Americans "can do without."
"That means cutting programs that he once advocated? Obama is acknowledging that his own ideas are not absolutely necessary. Nevertheless, the President still wants to get legislation passed that makes it harder for Americans to donate to a charity of their choice, in order to make them fund his own programs, which for the last two years have gone no where," mentions Everett.
Philanthropy leaders like Everett advocate choice in charitable giving. A way for this to happen is letting the non-profit sector work in conjunction with the government, says the Works of Life Executive, "But the President is creating a huge disincentive for a large segment of potential donors. And he's telling us to not worry about it because things might work out later? This is a cop-out. A dangerous one. Up to this point we haven't seen any of the promises Obama made come to fruition, so why should the non-profit sector suffer because of his failed policies, especially when we've been acting as a counter balance to the government's inadequacies for over ten years?"

Fabrikant Info Rockford Fosgate

Rockford Fosgate
Rockford Fosgate®. It's a full sentence. It means POWER! It means ATTITUDE! Since 1973, when founder Jim Fosgate put his name on the first real piece of high performance audio equipment built for the car, nothing has been the same.
While the rest of the world was struggling with really bad fashions and shoes that were way too high, Jim Fosgate, working in his garage in Arizona, USA, figured out that an amplifier, and for that matter, a car audio system would have to be dramatically different than what people were listening to in their homes.This meant an amplifier that could run low impedance loads, which meant that it would have to run in stereo and mono simultaneously. These needs then dictated that the amplifier incorporate a MOSFET design, a small detail that was unknown in the world of audio at the time. Wrap all this "technobabble" into the single most important development of the Fosgate designs… The PUNCH EQ.
While working with a friend, Jim realized that music and the human ear had very different sonic signatures or "curves". Where the human ear had the most trouble [down in lower frequencies at lower volumes] the music made it worse.The solution has been the patented Punch EQ… the ability to add up to +18dB at 45HZ…(Bass Boost) & and/or +12dB at 20kHz (Treble Boost - this is a hinge filter active from 1kHz to 20kHz.)
That's a lot of control! Things such as car windows, leather, road noise, and even your annoying life mate that never stops yappin'… all benefit from the musical energy that Punch EQ puts back into the system. The sound of THE PUNCH gave Mr. Fosgate's first customers the impact that their music needed. Now… that PUNCH is the sound of Rockford Fosgate® and you can hear it in everything we make.
Today's Car Audio for Fanatics
Rockford Fosgate® is terrifying to those that don't understand. Why would a person want thousands of watts of Rockford Fosgate® power in an amplifier that is bigger than most cars are wide? Because sometimes – too much is perfect!
Rockford Fosgate® is ready for the future. We incorporate some of the most state-of-the-art facilities in the audio business. Best of all, our Amplifiers, Signal Processors and Woofers are designed and engineered in Tempe, AZ, USA!
The consistent theme here is not just music or technology but the brilliant use of technology and circuit design to enjoy impactful and passionate music. A real passion for the experience of music. Obviously, Jim Fosgate is still pursuing his dream. He was awarded an Emmy® Award for his work in developing surround sound technology for television. Yeah, this guy has defined himself with music and technology.
