Tropical Slaw Recipe
5 1 2
This refreshing dish is an excellent accompaniment to any meal on a hot day. I also enjoy it during the cold months—the blend of crunch cabbage, sweet fruit and chewy coconut seems to mentally transport me to a warm tropical island. It goes over well at potlucks.—Anna Marie Nicholas, Americus, Georgia

It's a topic rarely out of the British press, and this week photos have emerged of film director Tim Burton sharing what looks like an after-dark kiss with someone who isn't his long-term partner, Helena Bonham-Carter.
The quirky director was papped kissing a woman near his car after attending a cinema screening with her in early October 2013, but after 12 years together, why would Tim jeapordise his relationship with Helena?
Woman magazine takes a look at this fundamental relationship problem and asks what it is that makes men cheat...
In this digital age, having an affair is easier than ever. Infidelity has now become a problem affecting 40% of marriages with men more likely to be the culprits than women. But what's most worrying is that men don't have to be unhappily married to do the dirty. The sad truth is that you can be the best and most glamorous wife in the world, and your man may still stray.
Take Tiger Woods for example. He admitted to cheating on his model wife, Elin, 30, and it appears the sporting legend may have had more affairs than golf clubs. Thirteen women have already emerged with torrid tales of wild times with Tiger. He was the man who had everything: beautiful kids, stunning wife, success and wealth. But, because of his appalling behaviour, Elin sought divroce, was awarded a $100 million settlement and Tiger lost several lucrative sponsors.
Why do men cheat?So why exactly do men risk everything for a quick fling or an even riskier second relationship? It's complicated. There's no one answer but there are common causes, or excuses, as some would see it.
Affairs rarely happen 'out of the blue' - psychotherapist Janice Hiller believes there's something in human nature that looks for familiarity and comfort, but the drive to seek out new experiences is very powerful too.
Lack of sex within a marriage is a huge risk factor for betrayal, but even great sex won't guarantee a faithful husband. A man can have the most doting, sexy wife on the planet and will still succumb to the 'novelty factor' warns Janice.
According to The Relate Guide to Better Relationships, here are some of the main reasons that people already in committed relationships seek someone else at a critical moment. Some point to serious problems while others suggest something is missing in the relationship, but it might not even be anything major...
- Protest: There are times when one of you can feel positively entitled to have an affair. If you are rowing a lot over money or other issues to do with living together and homelife becomes fraught rather than a restful haven, being with someone else somewhere else might seem like a welcome option.
- Insecurity: If a partner feels rejected for some reason (for a man, if he loses the main focus of his partner's attention during pregnancy, or while she is caring for young children) he might look for attention or closeness from someone else. He might also be drawn to an affair if he's feeling vulnerable about his age or waning sexual attractiveness: only the excitement of a new relationship and the admiration in the eyes of someone new can seem like proof that all is still well.
-Sex and 'love': If one of you has gone off sex, or neither of you can be bothered to make time or space for sex, or if sex just seems dull, an affair can seem the answer. If the feeling of 'being in love' and being sexually aroused has gone, one or you may start to look for it elsewhere. In most of these cases it is what is sometimes called the 'fun' that is missing from the relationship. The true one-night stand, a one-off that happens in extraordinary circumstances, can be a case of sexual curiosity, and is usually the only kind of affair that means nothing to the one doing it but can have a devastating impact on the other person in the relationship.
- Growing apart: Couples can grow apart and develop differently until they feel they no longer give each other what they need.
- Breakdown of a relationship: One or both of you can feel the relationship is completely dead. An affair at this stage is often about lining someone else up so that you have somewhere to go when you walk out.
The following reasons are why some people are 'affair prone', and continue to have affairs throughout a committed relationship, although they usually have no intention of breaking it up.
- Excitement: Some people recognise that the heady, exciting feelings of first love don't last, but they are hooked on them. They don't want to leave the steady partner, so go for a series of affairs or one-night stands. These are usually exciting, hurried and secretive meetings with the focus on sex, plus the overwhelming feeling of joy of finding, once again, someone who thinks you are wonderful and who can't wait to see you.
- Fear of intimacy: Some peole find the intimacy of a committed relationship hard to handle. An affair becomes a way of creating distance and privacy. Some people in long-term affairs, effectively have two part-time relationships, which means the person is not fully intimate in either one.

Souvenirs from Japan
My dad goes to Japan at least once or twice a year. What are some cool things they have in Japan that we don't have in the United States that he could bring back to us? (like weird flavored Kit Kats, or some cool little electronic device?)
Hello there,
Let's get started on finding out about the most weird Japanese things which you can ask your Dad to bring home.
Since you mentioned weird-flavoured Kit-Kats first, let's begin with a very interesting take on bizarre Japanese candies:
If you thought the food in Japan was a bit strange, have you ever seen Japanese candy? Not everything is sweet or made of chocolate and sometimes the things made of chocolate are very surprising. Say what you will about Japanese cuisine, but they are extremely adventurous when it comes to new flavors, especially in candy. Whether you like your candy sweet, chocolaty, sour, or maybe even a bit savory there's a Japanese candy out there that you've got to try. (We'll be honest, there's plenty to avoid too).
(Source: Bizarre Japanese Candy | Kid Crave)
Here's the list of candies you can try:
In Japan, Kit-Kats are available in the following flavours (please note that these may vary from region to region):
- Standard Finger Bars:
- Green Tea (Matcha)
- Pickled Plum
- Bubblegum (made with blue chocolate)
- Lemon Vinegar
- Kit-Kat Sakura (Cherry Blossom)
- Kit-Kat Iced Tea
- Kit-Kat Wasabi
- Mango (made with yellow chocolate and available only in Kyushu and Okinawa)
- Caramel & Salt
- Cucumber
- Kinako (Soybean flour)
- Apple
- Latte with Hokkaido Milk
- Kiwifruit
- Strawberry
- Peach
- Cantaloupe
- Triple Berry
- Azuki (Red Bean)
- Green Grape Muscat
- Rose
- Beet (only in Hokkaido prefecture)
- Hascapp (contains Hokkaido blueberry; only in Hokkaido prefecture)
- Soy Sauce (Tokyo limited edition)
- Yakimorokoshi (grilled corn; only in Hokkaido prefecture)
- Jyagaimo (potato; only in Hokkaido prefecture)
- Daigakuimo (candied sweet potato)
- Houjicha (Japanese Roasted Tea)
- Kokuto (Black sugar)
- Watermelon and Salt
- Pumpkin
- Edamame (Soybean)
- Lemon Chocolate (Valentine's limited edition)
- Apple Vinegar
- Veggie
- Ginger Ale
- Ramune
2. Large single finger Chunky bars:
- Kit Kat Big Kat
- Kit Kat Big Kat Bitter
3. Other Kit Kat forms and shapes:
- Kit Kat I-Stick (limited edition - creamy bitter chocolate sandwiched in wafers and dark chocolate coating)
- Kit Kat Stick
- Kit Kat Stick Almond
- Kit Kat Stick Half Bitter
- Kit Kat Little - newer version of Kit Kat Baby
- Watermelon Minis
- Black Sugar Minis
- Caramel Pudding minis
- And the weirdest of the lot - Kit Kat Little with Chilli Powder!
Many other flavours come out from time-to-time, so there's more.
Here's a review of the Ginger Ale flavour:
The Kit Kat was a yellowish white chocolate. It smelled exactly like soda, though I thought the scent was more citrusy than gingery. I'd say more like Sprite or Fresca than ginger ale.
The bars' outer white chocolate coating was super soft and melted in my fingers. It tasted of overly sweet white chocolate with a hint of citrus.
Most of the "ginger ale" flavor lay in the cream filling sandwiched between the crisp wafers. It tasted weirdly sour and effervescent. Every once in a while, there was a sharply piquant crystal of sour lime flavor.
I wasn't a fan of the combination of white chocolate and citrus and effervescence. The whole thing had an awful finish that I found off-putting.
Flavor-wise, I thought it merits a -. But I am glad I got to try it. It's definitely a taste experience!

The famous Japanese treat Pocky contains what look like thin pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate and is available in an array of flavours, ranging from sweet to savory, some of which are as follows:
- Men's Pocky (it's said that only men can take in its strong, harsh "masculine" taste!)
- Marble Tea Pocky
- Almond Pocky
- Strawberry Pocky
- Milk-flavoured Pocky
- Black Bitter Marble Pocky
- Hello Kitty Pocky
- Generic Bulk Chocolate Pocky
- Almond Crush Pocky
- Coconut Pocky
- Giant Pocky
- Creme Brule / Flan Pocky
- Murasaki Imo Pocky
- Brazillian Pudding Pocky

Also known as Pacman's Acid Trip, Shigekix (the Japanese word for "sour") Aha! Brain Candy is a sour hard confectionery which apparently contains a (you-won't-believe-it) "Neurotransmitter"! Yes, this candy is claimed to be laced with Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) which are said to go directly into your brain and give you an "Aha! moment".
The flavours abound and include kinds like grape, ume (Japanese plum), cola, ramune, and seaweed.

Click here and here for a list of some more bizarre candies pioneered in Japan.
Now let's see some other "cool" stuff your Dad can get you from Japan:
Average Price: around $30 onwards
Japan certainly has a reputation of coming up with the strangest gadgets in the world, but nothing quite matches the oddity of the Tuttuki Bako (meaning Poking Box) Finger Game Box, which was first launched in Nov 2008. You interact with the game by poking on the box. Stick your finger in the hole in the box and a digital representation appears on the screen imitating your finger motions.
The toy contains several mini-games. Some interesting game stages include terrorizing a tiny stick man, poking a girl in the face, exploring a lake and flicking a mini-panda.
Read a review here.
Click here for the official website. You will also gain knowledge of sister products from this site (there is mention of a "Baby Cry Analyzer"; now it really gets weirder from here!).
tuttuki bako (Source: Nicolas Nova)
Average Price: around $15-$17 per Hex Bug roach
What is interesting about the Hex Bug is that it emulates the cockroach's feelers / sensors that tell the creature when to change direction so as to avoid hitting a wall. It also reacts to loud sounds by making the roach scurry away in fear (that also happens when you switch on the light!). The cute pests are available in colours like blue, pink, green, yellow and orange.
Reviews of the Hex Bug are available here and here.

Average Price: around 90 cents to $1 (100 Yen) - prices may vary
The whole world has become a technological highway, thanks to the Internet and the cellphone. And emoticons are an outcome of the incessant chatting and texting most of us do all the time. However, Japanese toy-makers have gone a step ahead and have introduced these emoticons in the form of toys! Yeah, that's right, the Yujin Cell Phone Emoticon Toys are weird little characters displaying expressions known in Japanese as Kaomiji.
Use these toys profusely in your email exchanges and find these characters laughing, crying, fuming, et al (add letters, symbols, dashes to produce a myriad of expressions and emotions).
Here's a review:
Cute mascot, approximately .5" tall on a loop. Hang one on your cell phone, zipper pull, keychain, back pack, etc. This is a cute Kaomoji-Kun character, like a Japanese Emoticon. Based on expressions you make with your computer keyboard. New Japanese concept toy. These are packaged individually, so you don't know which character you will get. They're all cool!

There are more cool "weird" things available in Japan, so you can check them out from here, here and here (the third site has info on the weirdest i-Phone covers!). You can also take a look at pics of some crazily out-of-this-world Japanese inventions.

NHL Desperately Needs Another Canadian Superstar to Carry LeagueOctober 29, 2009
No, Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin has not obtained dual citizenship. And no, he doesn't even play in a traditional, or even Canadian market for that matter. But as one of the few faces of the post-lockout NHL, he is perhaps the biggest and brightest star on which to build the next great dynasty.
When "The Great One," Wayne Gretzky, began his career in the NHL in 1979, the storyline was set up perfectly. The Brantford, Ontario native was obviously not only Canadian, which made perfect marketing sense, but played for one of the NHL's newest markets in Edmonton.
Not coincidentally, he literally helped place it firmly on the map for almost the rest of the next decade with four Stanley Cups. He helped anchor the NHL's newest powerhouse in what became a solid, traditional market where 18,000 fans were standard on most nights in a league where this was far from the norm.
As I outlined in a previous article, The Great L.A. Kings Heist of '88: Re-Evaluating the Gretzky Trade , the impact of native Canadians helping push and promote this league is missing since the days of its peak in the 1980s. Sure, they still make up a great percentage of the league, where the fans are the most informed and passionate on the matter, but it isn't the same as it once was and that is a problem.
Missing Impact Canadians as Leaders on Traditional Teams
The best thing the NHL has going in this regard is Nova Scotian Sidney Crosby and his teammate and Thunder Bay, Ontario native, Jordan Staal, on the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins. The only problem is, that market is not in Canada. The two are still ridiculously young at 22 and 21 years of age, respectively. With already two Stanley Cup Finals appearances, one resulting in a Cup, to say the future looks bright in the Steel City would be an insult to their intelligence and I'm far from a Penguins or Crosby fan.
Considering the core they have and their experience and success already—similar to the Edmonton Oilers of the eighties—these Penguins are the closest thing the NHL has to the next dynasty, even if that dynasty will extend over two decades by default.
Like those Oilers who won four Cups together mostly at their peak (they won another in 1990 with some new members acquired from the Gretzky deal and were already minus future Hall of Fame defenseman Paul Coffey in 1987), these Penguins have a chance to win a similar number of Cups, if not more, sacrilege as that may seem.
Equation: Canadian born+superstar+traditional Canadian market=NHL face of the league+
Another Missing Component
So why the picture of Ovechkin, you ask? The former was to build up my first point of the lack of an impact player who fits both the mold of being a superstar Canadian that Crosby is, but also one that plays in a traditional Canadian market that the fans and league can build around.
Now I'm not suggesting that either Crosby, Staal, or Ovechkin will ever come close to being the next Great One. Like any sport desperate for its latest torch bearer, I come from the school of thought: Why does someone have to be the next anyone? Why can't we accept what we had was special, good enough, and we were just fortunate enough to experience it? The NBA is notorious for this in trying to find the next Jordan, which simply will never and should never happen.
The NHL is no exception. Gretzky scored 137 points (51 goals, 86 assists) in his first official (rookie) season in the league. Crosby? He was lucky to score 100 points (102 actually: 39 goals, 63 assists) and didn't even win the Calder, thanks only to Ovechkin.
While this appears to knock Crosby, consider his Calder Trophy peers the last decade and a half since Gretzky's prime.
1995: Peter Forsberg, Quebec Nordiques, 15 goals, 35 assists, 50 points (Swedish)
1996: Daniel Alfredsson, Ottawa Senators, 26 goals, 35 assists, (Swedish)
1997: Sergei Samsonov, Boston Bruins, 22 goals, 25 assists, 47 points (Russian)
1998: Chris Drury, Colorado Avalanche, 20 goals, 24 assists, 44 points (American)
1999: Scott Gomez, NJ Devils, 19 goals, 51 assists, 70 points (American)
2000: Evgeni Nabokov, San Jose Sharks, goalie (Russian)
2001: Dany Heatley, Atlanta Thrashers, 26 goals, 41 assists, 67 points, (W. German)
2002: Barrett Jackman, St. Louis Blues, defense, hell of a plus/minus (plus-23), but little else (Canadian)
2003: Andrew Raycroft, Boston Bruins, goalie (Canadian)
2004: No Calder, locked out
2005: Alexander Ovechkin, Washington Capitals, 52 goals, 56 assists (Russian)
2006: Evgeni Malkin, Pittsburgh Penguins, 33 goals, 52 assists (Russian)
2007: Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawks, 21 goals, 51 assists, 72 points (American)
2008: Steve Mason, Columbus Blue Jackets, goalie (Canadian)
So what does all this mean?
After looking at his peers, Crosby's debut year looks fantastic by comparison. In fact, that 2005-06 season, in which he and Ovechkin battled it out on and off the ice for headlines, wins etc., was the first time in a long time I felt the league was returning to its roots with good, young, impactful, NHL superstars to build around, like the nostalgic days of old.
In addition to that, how many fit the above equation?
Canadian born+superstar+traditional Canadian market=NHL face of the league+? None. That's half the problem, no foundation to build around.
So what's the complaint? Just because Ovechkin doesn't play for the Calgary Flames and didn't grow up in Stony Plain, Alberta, the NHL isn't as good of a product as it could be?
No, while those factors would all help—in addition to a slew of teammates sharing the same geographical characteristics—what the NHL really needs is more 100-plus point scorers, like in the days of old.
Lack of a 100-150 Point Scorer
This is the final characteristic to the equation that Gretzky fulfilled. Problem is, so did his teammates Mark Messier, Paul Coffey, and Glenn Anderson.
Now are you understanding where I am coming from? This wasn't just a fad, or a few players in the NHL that could do this (as there still are only a few today); they were all on the same team , showcasing how far the league has fallen from its glory days. To add insult to injury, they were backed up, literally, by fellow Canadian and future Hall of Fame goalie, Grant Fuhr.
The NHL has come a long ways from its even more pitiful days of Martin St. Louis embarrassingly leading the league in scoring with a paltry 94 points in 2003-04 for the non-traditional Tampa Bay Lightning. And talk about adding insult to injury, this Florida team beat a hockey hotbed in the Calgary Flames, whose win could have really re- energized a stagnant but still hungry base.
Sure, we've got Malkin, Ovechkin, and Crosby to rally around, but can any one of them take it to the next level and score so much as 150 points? Since they've all cracked 100, why not try one step further to infuse some sense of familiarity and lore with a solid 150-point season, one that the NHL hasn't seen by a player since Mario Lemieux's 160 in 1992-93.
The only thing that would have made that better, and completed the equation the NHL so desperately needs if it really wants to get back into the ratings discussion or television competition conversation, would have been if Lemieux could have somehow ended up in his native Quebec. Maybe then the NHL could have been saved there instead of Pittsburgh and maybe Crosby, Staal, and Malkin could be doing their thing for Les Nordiques.
If only he could have joined a Phoenix ownership group to relocate them to Quebec. But then again, the Penguins would probably be in Kansas City right now and no one could have predicted the demise of the Coyotes or the possible re-birth of Quebec's team.
In addition, after what Lemieux did for the city of Pittsburgh in playing for them all those years, winning Cups, and saving the franchise, there is no way he could have moved them to Quebec, nice as it could could have been.
If you are thinking, could this lead to a future article completing the equation? You'd be right and I'll save that for another day. In fact, if anyone would like to write it, I'd be more than happy to read and endorse it. The NHL needs another Lemieux, but since one doesn't appear to be on the horizon, Ovechkin presents the best opportunity for a 150-point scorer. In my preseason predictions, I picked him to get this milestone off 67 goals and 83 assists.
Considering he scored 65 goals two years ago and had 112 points, to get an additional 38 points isn't out of the question. After all, through 11 games he has 19 points—11 goals, eight assists—on pace for 142. While he certainly won't maintain this pace, the fact that he can get two to three points in a single game and does it in bunches, anything is possible.
Could anyone else step up?

Is there any comparison chart between materialize and simplify.
I have been using simplify with my HS since I got it. Was using repetier host with my other machine for years. I like the support structure edit feature, but most of the other features don't have the control I want. i.e. too difficult to change extruder temps on the fly - I have screwed up prints trying to use.. Need better layer control setting don't change between extuders. Really don't like NOT seeing G-code within the program to add/substract code for specific models. Creating multiple process files for same model has too many limitations to it - etc.
thanks, Mark
Hi Mark,
I am not a support person from Leapfrog.
I have used both materialise and simplify 3d softwares though.
The first version of the materialise software was very very very poor, the slicing was horrible and the control of the machine was awfull. I tried for a couple of parts but it was impossible to have them working.
Used my settings in the simplify 3D and the parts were produced in the first shot.
A update was released for the software itself together with new profiles.
Then it is a completely different history, in the first shot using a single head it worked like a charm. Almost no problems, just very few adjusts required in the profiles but the best quality than I ever achieved using Simplify 3D.
Tried dual-head printing and it was a mess, after correcting the standard profiles, it works great now.
I am not using Simplify 3D anymore, Materialise s much simpler and allows you to change the same parameters as simplify. I did not used supports yet in it, but i will give a go and will let you know.
Best Regards,
Dear Mark and Thiago ,
I would also like to let you know that currently there is a beta version of the Creatr 2.0 software powered by Materialise which is being tested and will be release before Christmas or at the beginning of January 2016 which will be available to update from the Creatr 1.0 ( just like when you upgraded the Simplify 3D software).
The Creatr 2.0 will have new features, for example the preview gcode option, full control of the support material ( just like in Simplify and many other) not to mention the quality of the prints made with Simplify 3D in comparison to the Creatr software is quite big. I will make sure to upload a short explanation with pictures of the same prints made with Simplify and the Creatr software so Leapfrog customers can see first hand the differences in quality.
Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
Please request a firmware download via the Ticket System

Dempsey Confident Of Derby Victory
Fulham forward Clint Dempsey believes his side can gain their first maximum of the campaign against Queens Park Rangers this weekend.
When QPR travel to Craven Cottage this weekend, it will mark the first meeting of the two sides since 2001, when Fulham were promoted to the Premier League.
Fulham are yet to win in the top flight this season, leading them their current position of 17th place - but the American international Dempsey is confident of their first maximum this weekned.
'It would be a good time to put down that first win especially as this is a game that everyone is looking forward too,' he told fulhamfc.com.
'Fans always want to do well in these derby games and with it being the first between the two clubs in a little while there's even more interest as a result.
'To be honest, it doesn't matter who that first win comes against as long as it happens at some point.
'QPR have started the season well and will be looking to come to Craven Cottage in the hope of adding to that. But we're confident that we can get the result that we need.'
In terms of results historically, Rangers have the advantage but have failed to score in the last four meetings between the two sides.

Southlake Festival Cinema 6
1564 Southlake Parkway,
2 people favorited this theater
The Southlake Festival was without question the most elegant cinema in the southeast metropolitan Atlanta area. The theatre was basically the same design as other Cineplex Odeon six screeners such as the Town Centre in Marietta, GA and the Fridays Plaza in Doraville, GA.
Recent comments (view all 10 comments)
I was the manager of this location for a good while during the mid to late 90's. I loved working there and I still look back on the time I spent there as the best experience I have ever had at a job. Not because of the super-cheap Carmike Cinemas that bought the place out after Cineplex Odeon sold, mind you, but because of the people I met there and the fun times we shared. I really miss that old building as well as that time in my life. It really was a very nice location with marble floors, velvet curtains over the screens, etc. It's too bad that the AMC 24 came along, but it was just a sign of the times.
This was a nice theater. I was impressed with the art-deco interior. This place tried to make a go as a dollar house after Southlake 24 opened. Unfortunately it did not work. Anything was better than the GCC Southlake III up the street.
Here is what Southlake Festival 6 looks like today.
Here a aerial view.
Here a photo.
Thanks for the photos Alonzo.

Buddhist leader beheaded
Page Tools
A Buddhist village leader in southern Thailand has been beheaded in what appears to be the first clear retaliation for the death of 85 Muslims last week.
A note found on the severed head of Run Tulay, 58, read: "A revenge for the innocents of Tak Bai district."
His body was found in Narathiwat near the scene of last week's riots that resulted in the arrest of more than 1000 people and the death of 85 Muslims.
It is possible Mr Run was targeted as a low-level government official, rather than specifically because of his religion, a police spokesman said. At Tak Bai, the army shot dead seven protesters and 78 died, mainly of suffocation, after being jammed into army trucks.
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra emphasised this week that trouble in the south was a problem of law and order, not of religious tension. But critics say the army's handling of the riot is the best propaganda separatists have had.

We enjoy our holidays in Florida and have renovated this villa so that we can share it with our families and guests. We want everyone to enjoy this home from home whilst on vacation.
Dunes Property Management purchased this villa in 2012
People buy property all over the world and although this villa is 8,000 away from the Scotland, it is the ideal home from home. The journey is not too arduous, in fact from Newcastle, England we can be in our villa in 10 hours travel time from home, just need to add the time at the airports. A place that we can bring the family, to the ideal vacation location; Disney and other world renowned facilities, golf, gulf and Atlantic seaside resorts and much much more, whilst resting in the fantastic facilities of this Floridian villa. We don't want to be greedy, keeping it for ourselves, but want you to share before we come again.
We have been visiting the USA for 10 years and Florida a number of times. Experience and adventure has shown this area and in particular Southern Dunes to be the ideal vacation location. Although situated within the security controlled complex of Southern Dunes, the villa has an independent alarm and security system. For our friends from the USA this holiday villa is home from home, with all the comforts in a great part of Florida.
Thank you for your help with our holiday. We had a great time and the replacement villa you provided was beautiful and we enjoyed every minute. We hope you found the villa in the way you gave it to us clean and tidy.
Once again many thanks for the help and we wish you well, hopefully we will holiday again and would have no problem with recommending yourselves and the service you provide and Kokomo Loop/Southern Dunes,
Located only 25 mins from most of the Disney and other Parks, being in Central Florida close to both coast lines there is no better place to be.
This villa has the most remarkable music surround system that's better than most cinemas. There is a great pool table, which doubles to full size table tennis and dart board.
The pool area is south facing for all day sun. The accommodation is 4 beds and 3 bathrooms with all modern facilities to the highest standards.
Where else would you want to vacation or stay in Central Florida!
Only issues we had was with the remotes for the main TV they're not in sync
Everything was fresh and clean and smell good nothing outdated
Safety is important when it comes to me and the guards were on their post
I would definitely rent this unit same time this year... thank you to the homeowners and happy New Year to everyone
January 1st 2018
This house is so great! Our 2nd stay here and we will be back. Everything was perfect and lived the pool!
Perfect villa had everything we needed, good sized TVs in all rooms. We needed a travel cot and management dropped us one off the same day. Loved the fact that we had Walmart, checkers, McDonalds and lots of other eateries close by that we even walked to them some nights. we have stayed in southern dunes before and we love it here, its a very quiet and friendly community. we went in the busy season of april/may and it was quite busy on the roads, but other than that would recommend this villa we had an excellent stay and would stay again.
The villa had everything we needed. Service was excellent, had problem with WiFi, we call for assistance and it was resolved, problem with TV and cable and was resolved within 15 minutes, quick response by Ian & Julia, ac was very good, rooms were clean, quiet area, their is a lot off shops, restaurants, Walgreens, Walmart , CVS an everything You need in the area and some within walking distance. Driving to the parks was a little bit far, about 30 minutes, knowing that after a long day in the park and returning to a home was the drive worth it, the feeling to go back to a home, sit on a couch, relax, no wait time to take a shower, have a cup of Thea, coffee or a glass of wine and watching TV/Cable. Would recommend this property to friends or relatives.

Simple Strategies To Save More Money When Hiring A Port Canaveral Taxi Service
There are tons of options that people can find in Port Canaveral transportation. Hiring a Port Canaveral taxi is actually one of the best ways to save money when visiting this location. These businesses have very affordable rates and they also provide a generous number of savings opportunities. It is possible for consumers to ask for flat rate fees. These are fees that are calculated in advance of a trip based upon the assessed distance that the passenger will be traveling. Flat rate fares make it unnecessary for people to diligently watch the meters and they also make it a lot easier to budget for these expenses and any related gratuity. If you have a very nominal amount of money for transportation, asking for a flat rate is essential. Hiring an Orlando airport limo is a much more costly endeavor. These luxury vehicles come with a broad range of perks and amenities that many passengers don't need. You can shop around for well-rated cab companies that are guaranteed to supply cars with clean comfortable interiors. You will be able to get the same great level of service without having to spend beyond your means. Submit your request for taxi cab services as quickly as you possible can. You will be able to ask your provider to give you a flat rate and won't have to spend your trip watching the meter. As an example, many people book their cabs even as their planes are still up in the air. In addition to being cheaper, this can also save you a considerable amount of time. See whether or not local cab companies have mobile phone applications and download these when you can. Apps make it easy and very convenient to request cab service and they also provide consumers with a number of impressive savings opportunities. More of these businesses are offering mobile phone apps so that consumes can connect with them easily and conveniently via a broad range of viewing devices. Consider the benefits of sharing this ride. Taking a cab with a group of friends will limit the costs of these service. You can also attempt to connect with other travelers who are staying at your same resort or hotel or who plan on attending the same event. With ride sharing, each passenger will pay a small fraction of the total fare so that no one person is stuck with a massive bill. Make sure that you are getting a car that is sufficient in size for your party. Lots of cab companies have various sizes of vehicles that they can send out. For instance, some can dispatch mini-vans or even large-sized vans when necessary. This will help you avoid the need for two separate cabs and will ensure that everyone has access to a seat belt and somewhere comfortable and safe to sit. If you have any small children riding along with you, ask your provider to send a child car seat with your driver for assured passenger safety. This will help both you and your provider avoid costly tickets, should the cab ever get pulled over. It will also give you peace of mind as you can rest assured that your youngster will be both comfortable and safe throughout the duration of the trip. Finding a reliable Orlando airport limo you must go directly to the online page. For all your Port Canaveral transportation needs, click here http://www.blackcarorlandoservices.com/about.html.

(Jerry Lara/ Express-News staff)
"A common real estate maxim states that retail development follows new housing. These days, though, retail real estate may be following the home market off a cliff."
That's the lead of a Wall Street Journal article about our nation's shopping market.
The article goes on to say, "Sparked by the housing boom across the country, shopping center and mall developers have gone on a tear in recent years, delivering millions of square feet of new space in Phoenix, San Antonio, Cleveland, Tampa, Fla., and numerous other markets."
Well that's the truth. In 2008, there's expected to be a record 4 million square feet of retail space opening up in San Antonio, according to NAI REOC Partners, a San Antonio real estate company.
The article does not mention any slowing of retail demand in San Antonio, and, "I can tell you that preliminary numbers look good," said Kimberly Gatley, senior vice president and director of research at NAI REOC, about final 2007 numbers.
San Antonio does lead the country in terms of retail space under construction as a percent of existing space, with 11.6 percent, according to the article. And NAI REOC is predicting the vacancy rates to increase in San Antonio from 10.4 percent in 2006 and 11.2 percent as of the third quarter 2007 to 12.7 percent in 2008.

It was after about three-quarters of an hour of being pummelled and washed and scrubbed like a baby by my middle-aged Turkish masseur that he leaned over and whispered: "You like?"
Naked, sitting on the marble floor, I could only agree. He smiled. His next words were: "You give beeg teep." The transaction was quickly agreed and I promised that once he returned my trousers he could trouser 5 million lira.
And it was worth every lira.
The 300-year-old Turkish baths, Cagaloglu Hamami, in Istanbul are a must. The main bath rooms (one for men and one for women) are beautiful, all marble with big slabs in the middle where you lay down to relax with a little towel for cover.
After 10 minutes, a poke in the shoulder meant that my man had arrived. He started with an all-over massage. Then he gestured to the side where I sat on the marble floor beside a basin that looked like a font. He poured warm water over me and washed me from head to toe.
Then I lay down on the floor where there was more massaging and, just as I began to nod off, I thought: "That man is walking up and down my back, a back which has had lavish Harley Street treatment this past year." And he was. It was the highlight and soon, minus tip, I was taking tea in the delightful courtyard.
The trip to Istanbul had been on the 836-passenger Olympic Voyager, the world's fastest cruise ship, which made the journey from Athens, charging through the Dardanelles, overnight. The point about this stylish ship is that it can zip from one Mediterranean port to the next at 27 knots,so giving more time at each stop. It had a spa on board and that evening, feeling as clean as clean could be, I had a relaxing mudwrap and cranial massage.
A large gin and tonic was needed. After a double detox it was time for a tox.
The Practicals
The Olympic Voyager 's seven-day/three continent Grand Cruises run between May 5 and November 17, round trip from Piraeus, with prices from £1,173 (plus £146 port/air charges). Ports of call include Santorini, Alexandria, Port Said, Ashdod, Rhodes, Istanbul, Kusadasi and Mykonos.Tel: 0800 3583535. www.royalolympiccruises.com Cagaloglu Hamami , Cagaloglu, Istanbul. Basic bath US$10. Full works $30. Open 8am - 8pm. Tel: 0090 (0)212 522 2424, www.cagalogluhamami.com.tr

February 14, 2013 - Major League Soccer (MLS) - New England Revolution News Release
TUCSON, Ariz. - Brad Evans converted a first-half penalty kick and Eddie Johnson added an insurance strike just before halftime as the New England Revolution suffered a 2-0 loss to Seattle Sounders FC in the first game of the Desert Diamond Cup on Wednesday night at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium.
The game was a physical - at times reckless - affair, featuring a total of six yellow cards and two red cards as New England's Sainey Nyassi and Seattle's Marc Burch were both sent off in the 80th minute. Additionally, the Revolution's Clyde Simms and the Sounders' Osvaldo Alonso were both subbed off before halftime when a scuffle ensued following a rough challenge on Chris Tierney.
Chad Barrett (illness), Ryan Guy (calf), Matt Reis (illness), Kelyn Rowe (knee) and Saer Sene (ACL surgery) were unavailable for the Revolution, which used largely different lineups for the first and second halves.
Jerry Bengtson made his first preseason appearance after returning from international duty, creating the game's first chance in the fifth minute. The Honduran's flick sent Diego Fagundez into the right side of the box and the Revolution forward drilled a shot which Sounders goalkeeper Michael Gspurning tipped over the crossbar.
Evans opened the scoring for Seattle in the 27th minute, converting a penalty kick after the Revolution's defensive wall was whistled for a handball while blocking a free kick. The effort was slotted low into the right corner as Evans sent New England goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth the wrong direction.
Johnson doubled the Sounders' lead just before halftime, finishing off a strong individual move after receiving a long pass from Mauro Rosales down the right wing. After cutting inside onto his left foot, Johnson curled his shot inside the far post to give Seattle a 2-0 advantage at the break.
New England created the better of the chances throughout the second half and forced Seattle goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann into a pair of saves 10 minutes apart. Training camp invitee Marko Jesic directed a 20-yard shot on frame in the 68th minute, while Stephen McCarthy saw his header saved by Hahnemann in the 78th minute.
Nyassi and Burch were both ejected in the 80th minute when a fracas erupted near midfield, which began with a sliding challenge from Nyassi.
The Revolution's best chance to cut into the deficit arrived in the 83rd minute when the Sounders' Lamar Neagle twice cleared the ball off the line. Following a corner kick, Neagle first directed Darrius Barnes' header onto the crossbar before he was on hand to clear the follow-up effort away from danger.
The Revs will continue Desert Diamond Cup group play on Saturday, Feb. 16, when they'll take on the New York Red Bulls at 8 p.m. ET.

When many American kids wake up this Christmas morning, they'll hope to find a new bicycle next to the tree. But what about a bicycle made out of a tree?
For some cyclists, a unique kind of bike frame is growing in popularity -- one made from bamboo. Actually a fast-growing form of grass, bamboo is said to make a greener, more comfortable two-wheeler that's just as strong as any metal-framed bike.
While several companies across the country now manufacture bamboo bikes, the folks at Bamboo Bike Studio offer a far different experience than a normal bike shop -- the chance literally to build a bike yourself in a weekend class. The firm has locations in San Francisco and Brooklyn. Customers can walk in on a Saturday and roll out on Sunday with a one-of-a-kind bamboo cruiser that they've made with their own hands.
"Most people nowadays, they don't really get to build things. And they especially don't get to see things start to finish," said Marty Odlin, one of the co-founders of the studio.
Building a bike in the studio costs anywhere from $600 up, though they also sell an at-home kit for prospective bike makers.
When Odlin and his colleagues opened up shop, they got their bamboo supply from the New York metro area. As their bike-making classes have grown in popularity, they've had to look farther afield, bringing in bamboo stock from Louisiana and Mexico.
Bamboo Has Long Been Used in Bikes
While bamboo bikes might seem to be riding on the overall popularity of green products, Odlin says the material has a long histroy in cycling, and he says that says that that the environmental benefits don't come with any trade-offs.
"Some of the original bikes were bamboo. Bikes started as wood and then they went to bamboo. That was back in the 1880s, and now it's coming back," said Odlin.
Odlin says a bamboo bike actually has an advantage over metal-framed ones -- it gives one a smoother ride, thanks to bamboo's natural ability to absorb vibration. And then there's also the green street cred.
"The bikes get an enormous amount of attention when you're riding them around," Odlin said, "but all positive. People are pretty excited."
Bamboo Helps to Get Cost-Effective Transportation for Poor Countries
But the Bamboo Bike Studio isn't just providing rides for well-heeled New Yorkers and Californians. They're also at work in Ghana, helping to equip a factory where locals can manufacture quality bikes for less money than the cost of an imported metal-frame bike. In Ghana, where bamboo grows plentifully, the target price for a bike is $65.
"A bicycle there means the same thing that a car might mean for someone here," said Odlin. "People can access 25 times more area on a bike... that's 25 times as many healthcare opportunities, 25 times as many educational opportunities, 25 times as many markets to sell their goods. Basically, giving somebody this cheap transportation can open up a whole world for them."
"It's just a great experience for everyone involved," Odlin said.

What are you playing this weekend? And let's be honest. It's Lost Vikings, right? Or would that be the Lost and Found Vikings? (Get it? Lost and Found? Look, it's the weekend and humor is relative, all right?)
Between that and the movie wrapping up, we actually had some news this week. (Oh, and some stuff about cards and warlords and such.) It's not quite the rush of weekend activity that we like to hear, but we'll take what we can get.
We asked our staff to opine about the week's events, as well as what they're playing this weekend. But what about, dear reader? What are you playing this weekend? What opinion of the week is on your mind?
What are you playing this weekend? And let's be honest. It's Lost Vikings, right? Or would that be the Lost and Found Vikings? (Get it? Lost and Found? Look, it's the weekend and humor is relative, all right?)
Adam Holisky (@adamholisky) This is the first weekend in a very long time where I have nothing planned. Saturday I'm going to sit on my a$$ and play video games, and Sunday I'm going to sit on my a$$ and go to a baseball game.
The connection between the two? Lost Vikings is awesome and I'm super excited to play it.
Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey) I got into the Heroes of the Storm alpha! So hopefully I will have a chance to sit down with that. I'm really excited about the idea of the movie actually wrapping up - it doesn't seem like they've been filming all that long. But I remember when they first started talking about the movie way back when, so it's kind of surreal to hear 'yeah we're almost done filming,' so many years later. I'm also delighted Lost Vikings is on the classics list now, because it was the first Blizzard game I ever played, and I have fond memories of playing it, and also watching my mother play it while quietly swearing under her breath, which is how she played a lot of video games.
Elizabeth Wachowski (@leeatwaterlives) Apparently it's animal death week because my cat just died. I'll still be leveling my warlock though. Sorry for your loss, Rossi.
Matthew Rossi (@MatthewWRossi) My rabbit just died, I won't be doing much of anything
Sarah Pine (@ilaniel) This weekend is shaping up to be rainy and miserable where I live, so I think a healthy dose of video games is on my radar--including Heroes of the Storm, which I haven't gotten to play as much as I'd hoped this week. I really want to check out Li Li while her test week is on. I adore Li Li, haters to the left.
I think the release of Lost Vikings and (part of) Rock N' Roll Racing is great, and I hope Blizzard sees fit to release more of their old titles like this. It's a great nostalgia trip, and also, a lot of these old games are just good fun.
The weekend is the perfect time to kick back, relax and enjoy some game time. Are you an achievement junkie? Can't get enough raiding? Rolling a new alt? Considering taking the leap into roleplaying? Whatever your favorite way to play World of Warcraft, let us know in the comments what you're playing this weekend!

NASSER, Nilton. UVB: susceptibility in malignant melanoma. An. Bras. Dermatol. [online]. 2010, vol.85, n.6, pp.843-848. ISSN 0365-0596. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0365-05962010000600010.
BACKGROUND: It is well established that UV radiation provokes an immunological depletion in the skin, enabling the development of malignant cutaneous tumors. Most nonmelanoma skin cancer patients are considered to be UVB-susceptible. OBJECTIVE: To study the behavior of UVB- susceptibility in malignant melanoma (MM) patients and whether this is a risk factor to the development of MM. METHODS: Eighty-eight volunteers were selected and divided into two groups: healthy control group (n = 61) and MM group (n = 27), which were identified according to the following clinical criteria: histopathological type, level of invasion, skin phototype, sex and age. Susceptibility to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation was measured by the onset of a contact hypersensitivity reaction to diphenylcyclopropenone among individuals sensitized in previously irradiated areas. RESULTS: Susceptibility to UVB radiation was 81.5 in the MM group and 31.2% in the control group. The risk of an UVB-susceptible individual to develop MM was 9.7 times higher than when UVB resistant. CONCLUSION: UVB susceptibility should be considered an important risk factor to the development of this type of cancer.

Guys. I'm not trying to stifle discussion, but the personal attacks and snipes need to go. You guys should be better than this. If you want to discuss politics then you need to be very strict about conforming to the rules. Deviation, especially this close to election is going to be looked at and dealt with more harshly.

I'd be perfectly happy to bet $50,000 on Obama if someone wanted to give me a 5.8 point spread.And though they chiefly focus on the Electoral College, the political scientists predict Romney will win 52.9 percent of the popular vote to Obama's 47.1 percent, when considering only the two major political parties.
If we're looking for a projection system, I'd suggest using Silver's work instead.
Silver's work is superior because it looks at a much much larger data set.

"Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday [Tuesday]. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially.
[…] They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material."
