Graceland, the legendary home of Elvis Presley is many things to many visitors. Some view their trip as a solemn experience, while others are motivated by amusement or curiosity. Whatever your reason for coming here, no one can deny that a stopover is a unique American experience that attracts people from around the world. Here are some strategies for a value-packed Graceland tour.
When to visit
The peak time for visitors is the annual Elvis Week in early- to mid-August. During this time, there are scores of special events such as concerts, movie screenings and an Elvis Expo (off property in downtown Memphis) of memorabilia. Reservations during this time are highly recommended, as individual events sell out months in advance.
Admission costs
Basic admission to the mansion for adults is $38.75 USD per person. For $43.75, you may add self-guided tours of Elvis's two custom airplanes, automobile museum, jumpsuits exhibit and Private Presley exhibit. For those who want even more, a $75 ticket adds front-of-the-line admission privileges and looks at areas that are off-limits to everyone else, including a restored dressing room and a barn behind Graceland where Elvis liked to unwind. Children and students receive discounts on all but the VIP ticket; children under 6 do not pay admission.
Travel arrangements
As you search for flights and Memphis hotel rooms, consider Graceland's location. It is only four miles from Memphis International Airport (MEM), and some people use layovers to make a mansion visit. Cab fare from the airport averages about $15 each way. Hotels in the area around Graceland tend to be run-down or expensive. But the proximity to I-55 means you can reach a bargain room in another part of the city fairly quickly (unless it's rush hour). Some chain offerings are good values in the Bartlett area and just across the state line in Mississippi.
How the tours work
The mansion and the visitor pavilion/parking complex sit on opposite sides of Elvis Presley Blvd. Transportation across the street to the grounds and a headset enabling a self-guided tour of the property are included in the admission fee. The additional options available with the higher priced tickets are on the pavilion-side of the boulevard: the jumpsuit, automobile and airplane exhibits. You will be reminded at every turn that security cameras are watching you and that indoor flash photography is prohibited.
The second floor of the mansion is off-limits. These rooms were Elvis' private quarters.
Basic information
Hours of operation vary by season, with longer hours during the summer months. Note that the mansion itself is closed on Tuesdays from December-March, but other attractions are open at that time. If driving to Graceland, take I-55 to exit 5-B (some mistake this as the number 58). By the way, it's possible to rent sections of the facility for private parties. Some people even get married here!
Elsewhere in Memphis
Memphis is known for more than Graceland. Be sure your itinerary allows time for some other worthwhile visits.
Highly recommended: the National Civil Rights Museum, on the site of the former Lorraine Motel. This is where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in 1968. The exhibits here are poignant and extremely well-designed. It's especially important for young people to see and understand the stories presented here.
A lesser-known but fascinating attraction is a five-block-long scale model of the lower Mississippi River on display at Mud Island River Park, which can be reached by tram from the riverfront. The deep detail shows every turn in the river from Cairo, Ill. to New Orleans. Anyone with a love of travel or geography will enjoy this attraction.
In downtown Memphis you find Beale Street, which bills itself as the "home of blues and the birthplace of rock n' roll." There are more than two dozen places to enjoy Memphis barbecue or live music.
Money-Saving Tips
The $43.75 ticket at Graceland is a better value than the $38.75 ticket
By the time you're confronted with this choice, you've already spent money to get to Graceland and for parking. The $75 VIP ticket is not a budget choice. The extra few dollars for the upgrade is reasonable, given that the revenues maintain exhibits you can only see at Graceland.
Order your tickets in advance
Although there's a small fee, online orders could save you long waits in line. Pick up tickets at will-call.
Layover visitors beware
Unless you have a minimum of three hours layover time, it's probably not wise to attempt a visit. It has been done in less than three hours, but traffic can be intense and lines at Graceland are long at many times of the day. Security lines at MEM are not usually lengthy, but can become busy when travelers on business or holiday trips show up at the airport.
Visit with realistic expectations
This is not the most elegant mansion you will ever see, nor is it the largest. In fact, you'll be struck by the relative simplicity of Elvis' life, given his status as a world celebrity. Parts of it are tacky (check out the "Jungle Room," a place furnished with outlandish carpeting, furniture and kitsch) but some are touching as well: the simple swing set he set up for his daughter Lisa Marie in the back yard is one example. Everything here was left largely the way it looked at the time of Elvis' death in 1977.
Combine Graceland with other Memphis attractions
Big Elvis fans will come here just for Graceland, but for most people it is a half-day adventure at best. So look at some of the other attractions in the area (listed above are a few suggestions) and make your trip to the city memorable.
Avoid the crowds
If you're interested in less stress and more value, go on a weekday and avoid times when school is not in session. The two busiest times are the aforementioned August "Elvis Week" and Jan. 8, which was Elvis' birthday.
Sun Records in Memphis
This is the place where Elvis cut his first demo record. According to legend, they asked Elvis which artist he sounded like, and he answered "I don't sound like nobody." Soon enough, they discovered a new sound that swept the nation at this unassuming Sun studio at 706 Union Avenue. Admission is $12 for adults, and free for ages 5-11.
More Elvis
He grew up in Memphis, but Elvis was born in Tupelo, which is in the northeast corner of Mississippi, 100 miles from Memphis via U.S. 78. Tupelo sits on the Natchez Trace Parkway, a scenic drive where you can learn more about the South and enjoy a less-cluttered trip than the Interstates offer. The home in which Elvis was born can be seen in Tupelo.

Our apartment is just a block from Jardin des Plantes. It's a park containing one of the main botanical gardens in France as well as a natural history museum. One of my favorite parts of the park is a fenced area that contains black swans and wallabies. Not only are they fun to watch, but the term "black swan" has a special connotation. Per Wikipedia:
The term black swan comes from the ancient Western conception that "All swans are white." In that context, a black swan was a metaphor for something that could not exist. The 17th Century discovery of black swans in Australia metamorphosed the term to connote that the perceived impossibility actually came to pass.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores the implications of "black swans" and how we should incorporate their existence into our thinking in his book, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. Taleb uses examples like the October 1987 stock market crash and the 9/11 terrorist attacks to illustrate black swans. I find the topic fascinating and I'm looking forward to thinking about how to apply it to my investing. Mary Kay may regard my bedtime reading selections as another illustration of the term. I don't think we did the "Black Swan" in yoga, unless I did so accidentally.

MPA Watch is a citizen science initiative to monitor human use of coastal natural resources by training and supporting volunteers in the collection of relevant, scientifically rigorous, and broadly accessible data. Data are meant to inform the management, enforcement, and science of California's marine protected areas (MPAs) and allow us to see how human uses are changing as a result of MPA implementation. By involving local communities in this important work, MPA Watch programs inspire and empower stewardship, and educate citizens about California's ocean ecosystems.
Organizations currently training MPA Watch volunteers:
- Heal the Bay
- Los Angeles Waterkeeper
- West Marin Environmental Action Committee
- Orange County Coastkeeper
- The Otter Project
- San Diego Coastkeeper
- Santa Barbara Channelkeeper
- WiLDCOAST
What data are collected and how?
MPA Watch volunteers observe California's beaches and bluffs recording all offshore and onshore coastal activities. Volunteers are trained to recognize different types of activities, using binoculars to view activities offshore, and to record what they see on data sheets. Volunteers record consumptive activities such as commercial fishing, shore fishing, and clamming, and non-consumptive activities such as swimming, SCUBA diving, and tide pooling. Volunteers are trained to use compasses or GPS units to accurately begin and end their surveys, as well as to identify MPA boundaries. All data undergo rigorous quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) protocols by coordinating organizations before being accepted and shared with users such as state coastal managers and environmental researchers.
Who uses the data and results?
Potential users of MPA Watch data span academia, natural resource management agencies, and local communities. A key focus for the program is to inform California's management of MPAs. In addition to data-oriented goals, MPA Watch programs aim to involve local communities in learning about marine and coastal resources, and to inspire and empower ocean stewardship. We always welcome new volunteers to experience California's beautiful coastline while collecting data that will help protect our precious resources.
Statewide Coordination of MPA Watch Programs
While MPA Watch programs all take a similar approach to measuring human use of ocean resources, there are also some important differences across programs as a result of program size, total area covered, variation in regional characteristics or specific questions that are of interest to individual programs.
The California Ocean Science Trust (OST) is collaborating with MPA Watch programs to enhance and expand the relevance and utility of the data collected by exploring methodological differences, and where possible, aligning program implementation. Together we are developing best practices, guidelines, and protocols that can serve as an 'MPA Watch manual' and be implemented by current and future locally-organized MPA Watch programs. Such guidelines and protocols will support MPA assessments and adaptive management; inform enforcement, compliance, and education efforts; and build social capital through engagement of local communities in statewide MPA Watch efforts. In addition, the resulting statewide database of human use activity can inform a variety of academic studies and other data needs unrelated to MPAs.
Seeking Advice from Scientists and Potential Users
As part of our collective efforts to promote consistency across MPA Watch programs, we are also obtaining external advice from scientists experienced in measuring human use of natural resources and potential users of MPA Watch data such as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Through this engagement we can identify opportunities to increase the utility of MPA Watch results and the rigor with which data are collected by volunteers.
Developing a Centralized Information Management System
Currently, each MPA Watch program has its own system for data management. Together, we are working with GreenInfo Network to develop an Information Management System (IMS) for MPA Watch data that follows the new guidelines developed in this process of coordination. The IMS will reduce the costs associated with data management, enhance quality control, widen and improve access to MPA Watch data, and allow volunteers to see the results of their work in a broader context.

Traditionally, the United States and China have negotiated new sanctions before involving the 13 other UN Security Council members. The total was almost 44 percent below February's figure when Beijing's ban on North Korean coal came into force.
The British government on Tuesday stood by an invitation for US President Donald Trump to make a state visit to the United Kingdom as London Mayor Sadiq Khan under attack from the White House said the offer should be scrapped.

Development does not begin in earnest until the end of World War II. They allege Qatar funds terror groups, something Qatar denies. Riyadh also accused Doha of supporting Iran-backed "terrorist activities" in eastern Saudi Arabia and in Shiite-majority Bahrain .
Banks reducing their business with Qatar could lose out financially, but the damage looks likely to be relatively minor. "The relentless increase in United States oil production appears to have the market anxious that the OPEC cuts will be completely nullified by the increased USA production", said William O'Loughlin, analyst at Rivkin Securities.

A YouGov poll of 1,000 Londoners published on Monday found that Khan was more trusted than both May and national Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to make the right decisions about keeping Britain safe from terrorism. He denied he was stoking up a feud which went back to 2016, when the mayor described the then presidential candidate's calls for a ban on Muslim entry into the United States as "ignorant".

New Zealand won the toss and chose to field against England in their second Group B encounter of the Champions Trophy at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff on Tuesday.

The death of Eilidh MacLeod , 14, below, at Ariana Grande's concert last month shattered the community where she lived and yesterday Castlebay, the island's main town, came to a standstill in her memory.

The findings again weakened sterling which had earlier fallen nearly a cent against the U.S. dollar on the YouGov model before rising on a Kantar poll which showed May's lead had increased to 10 percentage points. That marks a big shift from the 20-point advantage the Conservatives had in April when the election was called. A good night for the Tories could see Mrs May's party pick up 345 seats - a net gain of 15 but still well short of the kind of majority she would have hoped to ...
Police believe Butt, Redouane, and the third accomplice were the assailants behind the attack , where a rented Renault van rammed into pedestrians on the London Bridge sidewalk. But with Britons due to vote in a national election on Thursday, her decision to reduce the number of police officers in England and Wales by nearly 20,000 during her six years as interior minister from 2010 to 2016 shot to the top of the political agenda.
A total of 12 people arrested as part of the investigation have since been released without charge . After police named two of the attackers and revealed that one was previously known to security agencies, May's Conservative Party faced further questions about her record overseeing cuts to police numbers.
British police are stretched by the number of people they believe could potentially commit an act of terrorism. "You will not win", Mayor Sadiq Khan said to applause during a vigil on Monday. Mr Redouane, 36, claimed to be of Moroccan and Libyan origin and was not known to authorities. In a Sunday tweet, Trump mischaracterized Khan's remarks by suggesting the mayor had said there was " no reason to be alarmed " about the attack itself.
The latest available stock estimate of the Commission on Filipinos Overseas placed the number of Filipinos in Afghanistan at 1,600, a lot of them temporary residents, as of December 2013. The German Embassy suffered major damage. The decision came after a deadly attack in Kabul that the country believes was backed by Islamabad. There are now 8,500 US troops in Afghanistan with a USA promise of more to come.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan suggested that President Trump's state visit to Britain, scheduled for later this year, should be cancelled in an interview Monday. "I think Sadiq Khan is doing a good job and it is wrong to say anything else", she said. A YouGov poll of 1000 Londoners published on Monday (Tuesday NZT) found that Khan was more trusted than both May and national Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to make the right decisions about keeping Britain safe from terrorism.
As the Federal Bureau of Investigation's probe into the extent of the Kremlin's interference in the 2016 US presidential election garners more media attention, Morning Consult polling shows that Republican voters are taking a rosier view of Russian Federation.
The White House was asked by reporters late Monday if Trump was targeting Khan because he is Muslim. On Monday afternoon, the White House insisted Mr Trump was not picking a fight with the mayor - but just raising an issue of national security.
The ousted Federal Bureau of Investigation director will appear Thursday before the Senate intelligence committee for a hearing sure to be replete with political drama and intrigue. Eric Trump, left, and Donald Trump Jr., executive vice presidents. Burr though has said he has not yet spoken to Mueller about Comey's expected testimony.
The bottles were reportedly filled with clear liquid and had rags stuffed in their tops. There has been widespread praise of the quick response on Saturday from armed police, who killed the three attackers with 50 shots within eight minutes of the alarm being raised.
The rights group also reported that Tel Aviv tightened restrictions on the movement of people and goods to and from the Gaza Strip, saying the measures "far exceed any conceivable requirement of Israeli security". Marking 50 years of Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories , UN Secretary General Antonio Guteress on Monday called for direct negotiations to resolve the dispute "a driver of violent extremism and terrorism in the Middle East".
Saudi Arabia , the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Bahrain and Yemen all announced they would withdraw their diplomatic ambassadors from the country while ordering Qatar's to leave their territories within 48 hours. A ransom of up to $1billion paid by Qatar to Iranian and Al Qaeda-linked forces in Syria to release kidnapped members of the country's royal family may have been a trigger behind the effort to cut off Doha.
To deal with its economic isolation, Qatar will probably look for other friends. During my recent trip to the Middle East I stated that there can no longer be funding of Radical Ideology . "This is the emptiest airport I have been in so far", said Katie, transiting in Qatar en route to Thailand. Monday's announcement triggered an immediate 7.58 percent plunge on the Qatar Stock Exchange, while oil prices continued a multi-day fall, amid fears that OPEC production could be affected.
As the terrorists attacked, eyewitnesses claimed that the terrorists shouted "This is for Allah". The war of words had began after the London mayor gave an interview on Sunday morning in which he urged people not to be frightened by an increased police presence.
Under the auspices of the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda, the 211 (and counting) have committed to adopt the global climate agreement of their own accord. For many of them, it makes plenty of business sense: Certainty over what kind of environmental targets will prevail in years to come always trumps uncertainty.
Britain's Home Office and gardai declined to comment on the report. Rachid Redouane has been named by British police as one of the three men who carried out the attacks, which killed seven victims and injured dozens more in the London Bridge area on Saturday night.
This mans name is Roy Larner a friend of mine for for the past 20 odd years!Yesterday when the terrorist attacked he... "Then it was, "Islam, Islam, Islam", Larner said. The club has often been associated with football hooliganism, particularly in sections of the press, although many fans argue this is unfair, given almost all clubs have this element of support.
The minister said Qatar's ties to the United States were complicated, but would remain unharmed. Still, the minister struck a defiant tone, rejecting those "trying to impose their will on Qatar or intervene in its internal affairs". " Stocks in Qatar plunged more than 8 percent overnight to their lowest since January 2016". " Qatar accused a concerted media campaign against the kingdom and the alleged hacking of its official news agency ".

Just so we're all using the same term, "resistance" means that a person is not helping you do your martial arts technique - in fact, he/she is trying to defeat it.
Resistance is a hallmark of the combative arts, as a matter of course. It's also present in some styles of sparring in traditional martial arts, at varying degree of contact. I do not consider no-contact sparring "resistance", personally...
|The opposite of resistance.
Training with resistance is especially difficult in various weapon arts, especially without special equipment (armor or lighter or padded weapons). That's why Actionflex weapons are so awesome to have because we've sparred at my teacher's school with various weapons against each other (I sprained my fingers when I was fighting stick vs. nunchaku - nunchaku got me at just the wrong time!).
I am a firm believer in training with resistance, but I also think it takes a lot of attribute building to get to the point where we can freestyle play or stick spar in my art with any degree of success.
You have to work very, very hard on a lot of fundamentals with weapons before you can allow this to happen, because the risk of injury is incredibly high.
We spend lots of time attribute building in various drills. You'll see videos of this in the Filipino Martial Arts, and some folks will say, "That's not how fights work!"
Well, no. They don't.
Take this drill, as demonstrated by +Brian Johns at +Bamboo Spirit Martial Arts:
This drill is taught in stages, typically. You learn it versus our standard 12 angles of attack, then you do the same drill against random strikes, then you might learn how to interrupt single stick single sinawali to find the angle you want to work with off of Block Check Counter, then you learn how to get the angle you want in Block Check Counter, then you learn additional combinations off of the base drill, and so on.
All of this is attribute building - you learn timing, you learn how to close the distance, you learn how to spot incoming angles of attack, you learn range for counter attack options (and what those options might be based on where you are)...
Take another common drill, sinawali. Sinawali builds a lot of things, when done properly - you learn range, targeting, chambering, footwork, and you do so using both hands (in double-stick versions anyway).
All of this is attribute building, all of this takes a lot of time, and none of this is how people exactly fight.
That's where our Friday night stick sparring comes into play at our school.
|Just another Friday night at Mid-Cities Arnis!
It's not hard style hard core fighting. It's working on attributes, but with a little less accommodation than we typically do in the drill itself.
So tell me about how you work your way up into resistance in YOUR training. Is it early in the training? Late? Why? Or do you not train with resistance at all - and why? Let us know in the comments!

It's odd that the lobster is fashion shorthand for "out there". Isabella Blow, Roisin Murphy, Lady Gaga… "Whoa, she's wearing a lobster, she must be kooky". I wonder if it's because we were taught in high school art that when Dali stuck one on a telephone it was the weirdest thing you could do, and the idea has stuck around like a Passion Pop hangover.
Anyway, because I can't afford ANYTHING by the fabulous Isabella Blow:
And it's a little known fact that the UN sets limits on how much Tatty Devine one person is allowed to own:
I made this:
And it was only $5.95.
And it squeaks when you squeeze it. Bet Isabella Blow didn't think of that.

Inside Magic
After attending the Architectural Digest Show this past week, I was invited to visit the brand new Häfele showroom in the Flatiron District of Manhattan. The showroom itself is a step up from their previous location near Central Park. Although the neighborhood is more out of the way, the expansive windows and the ability to be on one floor won the company over.
The hardware and lighting technology Häfele is known for is showcased around the showroom in two working kitchens, office spaces and in different kinds of sliding doors. One standout addition catching everyone's eye is a series of remote-controlled sliding walls.
These four walls have product on both sides, so to save space the walls were put on tracks. This way they can open on demand, revealing a hallway in the middle for people to walk through. The three other walls, meanwhile, remain closed until needed. This saves space and introduces potential consumers to the high-tech nature of some of the company's products.
Another major theme of the showroom is lighting. As Scott Kaminski, marketing and PR manager of Häfele introduced it, light can be considered a furniture piece. A placard in the showroom suggested the interaction of light in a room has an influence on well-being. Bright, cold light enhances alertness, while softer light sources enhance relaxation. LED technology within furniture brings in a whole other dimension to a design.
As designers, you know integrated lighting is essential for today's kitchen and bath, but have clients recognized this? Unless the cabinet manufacturer explicitly includes special hardware – like swing-outs – do clients know they can make the interiors of their cabinets much more functional? One concern another designer brought up was that there is disconnect between hardware and cabinet manufacturers. Clients might assume their cabinetry comes with special interior hardware, but that is often not the case. In addition, designers have to educate themselves on how to bring the two together in a design.
What do you think? Have you been challenged by any disconnect between interior hardware and cabinetry? What are your favorite types of interior hardware to use? Let us know on our Facebook page, our Twitter @kbbconnect or on Instagram @KBB_magazine.

Jedi Master Dooku
Dooku was not a favorite character of mine from the prequel trilogy and most of the figures of him produced by Hasbro have been pretty weak. I would have never considered putting together a Dooku custom until I stumbled upon an image of him as a Jedi Master. I think he looks much better this way and I am happy with the way he turned out.

CINCINNATI – A Cincinnati dad was jailed for 30 days after admitting to tying up his 12-year-old daughter, locking her in a dog cage and threatening to electrify it, WKRC reported Wednesday.
James Tapke, from Springfield Township, pleaded guilty Tuesday to the unlawful restraint of his daughter during an incident in January.
Relatives raised the alarm after seeing pictures of the girl, bound with duct tape and caged, on Facebook.
The 41-year-old said he locked the girl in the dog cage as punishment because she was misbehaving.
The incident only lasted a few minutes, and the girl was not harmed, prosecutors said.
The girl is now in the custody of other family members.

By Jay Forte, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – A war between drug gang factions in the Cidade Alta of Cordovil, in the Zona Norte (North Zone) of Rio de Janeiro, ended yesterday (May 2nd) with at least eight buses and two trucks burned, 45 people arrested and six wounded, including three policemen, who are in stable condition.
Authorities report that in all, 32 rifles, grenades and pistols were seized. More than 3,000 children were without school classes in the region, according to the state and municipal secretariats of education.
Major Ivan Blaz, Communications Coordinator for the polícia militar (PM, or military police), reported that at around 3AM, residents of Cordovil called for help by telephone, informing the police that a rival faction of the community of Cidade Alta tried to take over territorial control of the area.
"We were surrounded, and once surrounded, the invading criminals triggered community residents who are under the influence of this faction to promote urban riots and chaos in the city in order to disperse policing into the siege and promote opportunity for escape," said Blaz.
Also according to the major, the number of prisoners and arms seized demonstrates that the police action was successful. However, Blaz stressed that the numbers show a cruel reality in the state.
"We are one of the main destinations of international arms trafficking, which exposes the fragility of our borders," said the major. "This forces the military police to deal with an evil that no policeman faces in the world. Here, the policeman is always accustomed to hearing guns."
State Secretary of Security, Roberto Sá, spoke at a press conference after and explained that there was an order for a criminal faction in Rio to invade and retake the area of the Cidade Alta, which was once their control in the past, lost to members of the current rival criminal group.
According to Roberto Sá, the police operation was successful, despite three policemen injured, not fatally, and the death of two people suspected of being linked to the trafficking.
"The [police] have already identified some of the perpetrators of the crimes. They will be indicted, probably charged and arrested. They are identifying people who set fire to the buses and mapping the weapons, one by one," said Sá.
Secretary Sá called for tougher penal legislation though, calling the penalties for those who carry rifles or burn buses 'ridiculous'. He explained, "It is necessary that other bodies and powers give instruments to the police to work."
Adding, "I speak of a police officer who is not receiving the thirteenth [salary], without receiving the system of goals and that will complete a year without receiving the Olympic RAS [Additional Service Regime, extra time for work in the Olympics]."
He also admitted that federal aid could be useful, both through the support of the Armed Forces, as it has occurred in the past, in the control of favela complexes, and in the reinforcement of the Federal Highway Police (PRF), responsible for controlling the highways that link the state to the rest of the country.
According to him, it is still possible to rescue the project of the Pacifying Police Units (UPPs), currently under heavy attack by criminals. "The idea is to try to save them. For the benefit of the good people, who are vast majority in those regions."
"I admit we have to review [the UPPs]. We created a multidisciplinary working group, to make a diagnosis of each UPP. To check on the problems and how we can focus on solving those demands. In relation to the support of the Armed Forces, we had experience in Complexo do Alemão and Maré. [The Armed Forces] help, but they do not solve, "said Sá.
Cidade Alta is a set of communities and housing complexes formed by Porto Velho (Pé Sujo or PS), Vista Mar (Bancários), Favela Divinéia, Favela Avilã, Favela Serra Pelada and Favela Vila Cambuci.
The area in Zona Norte is just off the Ilha do Governador, where the Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport is, popularly known by its original name Galeão.

"There is some debate in our ice cream parlor what the "traditional" split consists of.

TITLE Boxing Club
It's Fitness Friday! Today we bring you TITLE Boxing Club, the ultimate boxing and kickboxing workout experience here in Nashville. Head to one of their three Nashville area locations for a high energy workout that will get your heart pumping and your body moving.
Most classes are one hour packed with strength building, high intensity sequences from warm up to cool down. Each class starts with a 15-minute warm up – jogging, jumping jacks, lunges, and push-ups – to get you ready to work!
The warm-up is followed by 30 minutes of boxing and/or kickboxing where you'll rotate through series of basic boxing combinations. The last 15 minutes of class are the toughest! You'll put away the gloves and focus on core strength.
Our favorite thing about TITLE? You don't have to be a professional to take the class – or to enjoy it! Before our first class, we had never worn boxing gloves and didn't know what a jab, cross, or undercut was supposed to look like.
The staff is friendly and professional, and instructors always take the extra time with beginners to help you get oriented and learn the correct boxing form. Beginner tip: make sure to get there early to get set up with your hand wraps and boxing gloves before class begins.
Want even more one-on-one time with the fitness pros at TITLE? Set up a personal training session for you or a group of your friends, complete with fitness and nutrition advice from the experts.
Don't be intimidated by the idea of taking a class at TITLE Boxing Club! You can try it out at one of three studios in town: Green Hills, Midtown, or Franklin. Stop by any location or visit their website to sign up for your first free class. We'll see you in the ring!
P.S. They're on ClassPass too

One of the old-school, quaint things I love about Mac's neighborhood is that there are no street side mailboxes. Instead, they are all door side. The mailman actually comes up to the door and delivers mail. This is extremely significant to the Bachelorette Pad because my uncle was a mailman in this neighborhood. As kids, when we'd stay with Grandma during the summers, EVERY.SINGLE.DAY she made a huge, Southern spread for my uncle. He would deliver the mail and stop for lunch at Mac's. I don't think it's a coincidence that he was assigned his own mom's neighborhood to deliver mail.
Several years ago, for some reason I do not remember, something happened to her mailbox. At that point, my uncle rigged a contraption of a street side mailbox in a plastic bucket for Mac's mailbox. And that's been her mailbox ever since. Needless to say, it did NOT enhance curb appeal. I had been scouring estate sales, flea markets, and thrift stores for the perfect, retro mailbox. And then I struck gold!
While perusing the aisle of a flea market, my sister discovered not only a retro mailbox, but so perfect for a Bachelorette. For $12, I was the proud owner of a vintage mailbox, which my mailman uncle hung for me.
With this house, I'm taking more design risks. I always do my flips in neutrals and slight trends that appeal to the mass public. With this house, I'm sticking with the 1964 retro area and incorporating a lot of modern retro elements. Prime example, the mailbox. It's a great statement piece, and it adds so much character to a boring mailbox. The flowers were already added, but I just leave them!

Then, she wants to develop into a professional wrestler. As a stepping stone to achieve this, she has undergone training under the guidance of Dalip Singh Rana, who is none other than a former WWE champion commonly referred as "The Great Khali", at his wrestling promotion & training academy in Punjab. She is married to Gaurav Tomar. Her spouse, Gaurav, is a volleyball player. She is a son named Abhijeet.
During her stay in the CWE Academy, she has knocked down India's first professional woman wrestler BB Bull Bull. Suddenly, she rose to fame as soon as her video of knocking down BB Bull Bull, went viral on the social media. In the year 2017, she has turned out to be the first woman from India to compete in the WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment. Kavita fought against Dakota Kai from New Zealand in the initial round of Mae Young Classic – first all-woman competition of WWE. Even though she lost the tournament by getting defeated in the encounter, yet her ring attire and wrestling skills caught the minds of lots of wrestling followers all over the world.
Being the first female wrestler from India to compete in the WWE ring, she is looking out to keep track the footsteps of her trainer and inspiration, The Great Khali. The most important quality, which Kavita Devi has in familiar with the former World Heavy Weight Championship, is power. No doubt that Devi is a talented power lifter whose size and strength gave her an opportunity on her Mae Young Classic competition. By representing India, she has participated in a number of international competitions including South Asian Games 2016, where she won a gold medal in the 75 KG category.
Even though she will be relatively inexperienced as compared to other counterparts in the classic, Kavita Devi has enough physical tools to reach a certain height. As a part of historic Dubai try out of WWE in April, She had received the attention of WWE scouts. With the help of her immense physical skills, Kavita Devi would surely grow to be a household name in the sport of wrestling. May be, it is going to happen with the Mae young classic, this summer. She was honored to be the first woman in India to compete in the first ever tournament of WWE for women. She hopes to make use of this platform to motivate other Indian women through her performance and made India proud.

You thought you could argue me with about TR...HAHAHAH. Idiot.
So...I am the Batman of defending Teddy Roosevelt. If you thought I would only ever meet one person who would argue with me about Teddy Roosevelt, you'd be wrong.
There is a guy in my writing class who loves to argue, as do I,but apparently he doesn't know that when you argue you kinda need to have facts to back up your argument. The whole ordeal started while talking about JFK boning Marilyn Monroe. I said that he was a pig for cheating on his wife and I think he's an overrated President. (Both facts, by the way.)
Dude: All Presidents cheat on their wives, they're Presidents. And JFK was amazing, Bay of Pigs...?
Me: No they don't all cheat, TR didn't cheat. And how appropriate is it that, Bay of PIGS and JFK was a pig?? Hmmm.
Dude: TR totally cheated on this wife. That's what Presidents do.
Me: TR NEVER cheated on his wife. (Flipped him off) You're an idiot.
Dude: No he totally did. All Presidents do.
Me: Is it that hard for you to understand that not everyone is a total pig like you? (He shut up.)
...And if you ever talk bad about TR again, I'll punch you in the throat.
I would like to say, that one, I'm right, there is NO evidence that TR ever cheated and two, that guy does not know how to argue.
Moral of the story: you better bring your A game when you talk to me about Teddy Roosevelt, or I'll bust out a big stick on your face!

Onychophagia, or nail biting, is a reasonably widespread behavior, affecting an estimated 30 % of adults, forty five % of teenagers, and 30 % of youngsters.

If that isn't sufficient of a deterrent, simply think about dermatophytic fungi, also called ringworm, hanging out in our nail tissue as you open mouth and insert finger. Subsequent time the nervousness kicks in, attempt taking 5 deep breaths as an alternative.

Despite the fact that the danger elements for buying one embrace a weakened immune system and/or publicity to somebody sick, you possibly can considerably scale back your probabilities of catching a virus by retaining your arms away out of your mouth.

I have been amazed at the number of high school seniors who have been wait-listed from colleges and universities and get their hopes up that they will eventually get in. Sometimes wait-lists have more than 3,000 students on them. Sometimes colleges never even go to their wait-list. Believe me, these are students with the grades, test scores and other credentials to make them very competitive for admissions at these schools. The biggest issue for many kids is that it puts them in limbo and unable to emotionally commit to a school. My advice to most students is to send an email to the college if you are still interested and convey this to them. Let them know that if you are accepted, you will come. If you receive any awards, improved test scores, or anything else to support your application, email or fax it to the college admissions officials. But keep your other options open because you do need to make a final college decision, with a deposit, by May 1st.

5 Tips to Improve Your ACT ScoreJuly 27, 2015
As a test prep coach, students frequently ask me how they can improve their ACT score. Since I have been providing test prep for high school students for more than 25 years, I have a few tips that will help students succeed on this important test.
The ACT consists of four sections: English, math, reading, and science reasoning. Each section requires its own individual approach. Take time to understand the format of each section and the best way to tackle it. Read and make sure you understand the directions so you do not need to waste time on them when you take the actual ACT. The more comfortable you are with the test, the easier it will be to improve your score on the ACT.
There is no penalty foe guessing on the ACT so I suggest you waste no time on questions if you don't have a clue what the question is asking. See if you can eliminate some answers and then make a guess between what is left. You can always circle the number of the question and come back to it later if you have a minute or two at the end of the section.
Most students find the time constraints on the ACT a problem. You need to decide what questions can be answered more quickly and which you should leave until later. The science section seems to be the most difficult to finish on time. I suggest students skip one passage on the science test and try to be more accurate on their answers on the other six passages. When practicing on the ACT, it is important to time yourself on each test and figure out how to pace yourself.
Most colleges are interested in the ACT composite score. Your goal is to do what you can to improve that score. If you are strong in English, try to become even stronger. If math is your weakness, don't try and learn new math at this time. Make sure you do the math questions you know how to do and don't make stupid mistakes.
There is no substitute for practice if you want to improve your score on the ACT. Practice on real tests and go over every question you miss. Make sure you understand the reasoning behind the correct answer. Check any questions you miss and return to the passage to find the supporting information for the right answer.
Is your high school senior ready for the September 12th ACT? Remember, ACT scores can be a determining factor for college admissions and scholarships. If you need a class or some individual tutoring, College Direction has two six-week courses beginning Wednesday, August 5th. Call 303-692-1918 or visit http://www.collegedirection.org for the registration and schedule.
College Admissions: Do Not Even Think about Double DepositingApril 25, 2013
As the college admissions season winds down, families are weighing up the pros and cons of the colleges to which their child has been accepted. They are studying the financial aidaward letters to determine which schools are offering a better package with more scholarships and grants, and fewer loans. Everyone realizes this is a big decision to make and sometimes it is difficult to decide which school is the best one for each student. Should you flip a coin or what do you do?
May 1st is the universal date for high school seniors to make their college decision. Some students might be up in the air about two colleges and think that sending in a double deposit is a good way to handle the situation. Don't do it. Not only is it not ethical, but students and parents have a responsibility to commit to one school, and one school only. You could jeopardize your acceptance to both colleges or universities and be out of luck completely if you do so.
The Joy of College Acceptances and the Sorrow of the Shooting at Sandy HookDecember 17, 2012
My heart is heavy today. I don't like to dwell on tragedies, but this recent one has affected me more because of the loss of so many little children. I remember the night of Columbine because I had an SAT group at 6:30. I called the students in the group that afternoon and told them they did not have to come. Most did anyway because they wanted to talk and share their feelings. That is what we did. I think it was cathartic for all of us. Today I have had excited calls and emails from my students who have been accepted to college through early decision or early action. I must show enthusiasm for the joy they are feeling and I want to, but it is hard.
I understand that college admissions can be confusing, that college applications can be time-consuming, and that financial aid can be complex. I do not understand why in recent years we have witnessed so much senseless violence. I do not understand why so many movies, television shows, and video games contain nothing but violence and that our teenagers find this entertaining. I do not understand how an individual can cause a horrific mass murder like the one that occurred on Friday. I do not understand what a parent can do if they have a mentally unstable child who is a threat to society.
I am an analytical person and that is why I ask so many questions. Perhaps, I should stick to college counseling. I can usually answer those questions without any problem. Those having to do with the shooting at Sandy Hook leave me speechless.
College Admissions: Great Tips to Make Your College DecisionApril 6, 2012
College acceptances have been arriving at students' emails and delivered to students' mail boxes for the last few months. At last the college admission process is coming to an end for this year's class of high school seniors. With that comes some relief, but also the final task of choosing the right college to attend. Students have until May 1 to respond to a school's acceptance and indicate whether or not they are planning on attending. Most schools also require a deposit at that time. This decision is an important one and it is essential that students look at both the pros and cons of every school to which they have been accepted. If financial aid is a consideration, they also need to compare their financial aid awards and see which school is offering the best package. Here is a timely article that I think will help students make sure they are covering all of their bases before they make their final college decision.

I use this recipe to make chicken pot pie but had to use unsalted butter because I cannot find unsalted margarine. What company make it? Dietitian comment: Use the unsalted butter. There's been a big change in margarines over the past few years due to the trans fat content.
I live in a small town and i can't find nondairy creamer that does not have a flavor added. Where can i find unflavored creamers? Dietitian comment: You could substitute rice milk or almond milk without phosphate additives.
Hi I have a question about this recipe in the ingredients list 1 tablespoon celery then reading down to directions say chop onion and celery ? should this be 1/4 cup same as onion ? or perhaps this was a typo. thank you for your. I would like to make this for pot pie recipe. Dietitian comment: No the amounts are correct--1 tablespoon celery and 1/4 cup onion.
I have been using cream of mushroom or chicken and feeling guilty because of salt. No more! and i'm going to try it over steak.
I made this gravy to accompany chicken breasts. My husband thought it was the best thing I have made in more than 30 years, Renal diet or before ESRD. I've made it for other foods as well. Always a hit!!
I don't use celery and use 50/50 rice milk and non-dairy creamer and it works well.
I used this recipe to redo a casserole my son loved growing up. I tripled it , and i used Coffee Rich , which requires dilution with water. Instead of the water , i added chicken broth to simulate cream of chicken soup. It worked like a charm. Even non ESRD eaters liked it !
Using all 6 portions only gives 15 tablespoons ... not enough for any casserole or pot pie.
Made a lovely chicken and ham pot pie for the family with this recipe, very nice they said
