Our top priority is our customers satisfaction.
2. When will I know if my booking is confirmed?
Immediately. Our system only makes bookings if there is availability for the transfer or excursion requested. You will also receive an email confirming your service.
3. When will I know my pick up time for the services?
If you book a PRIVATE TRANSFER you will immediately receive your pick up time and date. In the case of a shared transfer and excursion, our system calculates and shows an approximate time interval and an estimated time respectively. Only for EXCURSIONS we will send you an e-mail and a sms 48 hours prior to your departure to confirm you the exact time you will be picked up.
4. What kind of documentation will I receive?
For each service received, the system will give you a travel voucher. These documents can be accessed from the final booking screen (once payment has been made). They also available using the MY BOOKINGS option. The travel voucher must be printed out since it is to be handed over at the start of the service. THE SERVICE SHALL NOT BE PROVIDED IF CUSTOMERS DO NOT HAND OVER THE TRAVEL VOUCHER TO THE DRIVER. If, for any reason, customers mislay the travel voucher, a new copy can be printed using the MY BOOKINGS option on the site.
5. How will I receive my travel documentation?
Once the booking has been formalised, you can download and/or print your documentation immediately. You can also access it in order to view it and print it at any time, using the 'MY BOOKINGS' option or from your email as it is also sent by this method.
6. I have problems opening or printing my travel voucher.
The travel voucher is the document needed to use the service; it is in PDF format and your computer must have the Adobe Reader program to open it. This program can be downloaded free from
7. After making the payment for my booking, my browser shows a message saying, 'Do you wish to show non-secure items?'.
Payment is made in the 4B secure servers; when the payment ends, it returns you to the iberoservice.com pages. Depending on your browser's configuration, you may receive a warning that it is about to show non-secure items. To end the booking you must click OK on this message.
8. What support will I have at the destination if a problem arises?
Your travel documentation will include a support telephone number at the destination for any problem that may arise.
9. When I arrive at the terminal, where do I go to take the transfer?
In both the booking process and the documentation, the meeting point in the terminal is specified with a map, indicating where passengers need to go once they arrive in the terminal. Once there, they should identify themselves to our staff who will carry a sign with the passenger surnames or with the website logo.
10. Where will I be picked up?
The passenger collection points at the transfer start point are specified on the booking documentation and are as follows:
a.Terminals (Airport, Ports, Stations, etc.): Go to the meeting point specified during the sale process and also on your travel documentation.
b.Hotels: Go to the pick up point shown in the travel documentation. As a general rule, you will be picked up outside the hotel; however in some cases this is not possible (due to access conditions) and a nearby pick up point will be specified in your travel documentation.
In both cases, when you arrive you must find the driver who will carry a sign with the website logo or the name of the booking's main passenger. In the event that the pick up point changes for operational reasons, we will contact the customer 48 hours before departure to confirm the new pick up point.
11. What happens if I can't find my pick up point?
Your travel documentation specifies your pick up point with a map. In the unlikely event that you cannot find the pick up point, please contact our staff using the destination support telephone number included in your travel documentation. NOTE: In the case of hotels, please first check with the reception staff since they will usually know where your allocated pick up point is.
12. What happens if my flight or train is delayed?
Our traffic dept. is responsible for monitoring delays in the arrival transportation. If your arrival transportation (flight, ferry, train, bus, etc.) is delayed, your transfer will also be delayed accordingly. This only applies in cases where you have correctly specified your transportation code (flight, ferry, train, bus, etc.) when making the booking. If not, customers must assume responsibility for any delays which may occur in their arrival transportation.
13. Where is the pick up date/time shown?
For private transfers, the pick up date and time is specified on your travel documentation and the transportation shall wait a maximum of 30 minutes after the collection time given. This is valid both for the transfers which begin in a terminal (except in the event of delays in the arrival transportation, see point I), as well as those leaving from a hotel. For shared transfers, your travel documentation specifies an approximate pick up time margin , at the latest 24 hours before your transfer the exact pick-up time must be reconfirmed by you following the instructions mentioned on the voucher Passengers must be at the pick up point at the time shown for the start of their transfer.
14. How is the pick up time calculated?
Your flight ( train,ship etc.) details you introduce during the reservation process will not be verified, it is your responsibility to communicate us the complete and correct flight ( train,ship etc.) details to ensure your transfer service. Inbound transfers
Pick up time = Arrival transportation time (flight, train, etc.) = margin to collect baggage Outbound transfers
Pick up time = Outbound transport time (flight, train, etc.) – time taken from where you are staying to the terminal – 2 hour safety margin. Excursions
The pick up time for excursions is based on the accommodation place and the excursion timetable.
15. What happens if I am delayed?
For private transfers, the driver will wait a maximum of 15 min. in the pick up point after the collection time given in both the booking process and the travel documentation. For shared transfers and excursions, the passengers must be at the pick up point at the exact time specified 48 hours before departure.
16. Can I take transfers from/to residences?
The system operates with previously selected collection points. In the event of a transfer from/to a customer's residence, the customer must select the collection point which is most convenient, bearing in mind that the transfer between the chosen pcik up point and the residence will be charged to the passenger.
17. Can I specify invoicing details which are different from passenger details?
You can of course specify invoicing details which are different from the passenger details.
18. Can I take transfers between terminals?
Yes, simply specify a start terminal and destination terminal.
19. Who operates the transfers?
Transfers are coordinated by our offices in the destination and are operated through the suppliers we book.
20. How is the payment made?
Bookings shall be paid for through a TPV Virtual system provided by Banco de Santander and 4B. For this reason, you will be redirected to the 4B payment pages during the payment phase in order to make the payment in a secure setting. For your security, IN DESTINATION INCOMING S.L.U. shall never have access to the card details you use for the payment. The payment system uses the most up-to-date security checks (Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode). This means that you may be asked additional information to check your identity during the payment process.
21. How can I modify a service that I already booked?
Any modification to a service involves cancelling the service in the original booking and creating a new booking with a new service. Therefore, 'modifications' to services or bookings are not specified as such. You must cancel the service to modify and create a new booking.
22. What are the cancellation and return conditions?
Services can be cancelled without charge 4 days prior to the service date. In some cases, there may be more beneficial cancellation conditions, specific to each provider at destination. If this were the case, these conditions would apply. You can check these conditions by calling our call centre once the reservation is made. Otherwise, the period of 4 days notice will always prevail in order to cancel the services at no cost. To make cancellations please go to the section 'MY RESERVATIONS' of the website. Once the cancellation has been made, we will proceed to return the part corresponding to the cancelled service back to the credit card where the original payment was made.
23. Can I change the day to make an excursion?
There is no problem with this, however you will need to cancel your original excursion service in your original booking and create a new booking with the new excursion service. To cancel your original service, remember our cancellation policy.
24. If in order to modify a service, I have to cancel and create a new booking, does this mean that I may have more than one booking?
Correct. One customer may have as many bookings as required. A booking is a group of transfer and excursion services.
25.What are the conditions relating to baggage?
Each passenger is entitled to one piece of baggage with a maximum weight of 20 kg. (Maximum combined dimensions of 158cm) and one piece of hand baggage weighing a maximum of 5 kg (maximum dimensions of 45cm x 35cm x 25cm). This base baggage is included in the price of the booking. Any excess baggage must be declared when making the booking in the 'Special services' section and will be invoiced. Passengers will be responsible for covering the expenses of reserving additional vehicles to transport the excess baggage THAT HAS NOT BEEN DECLARED. Customers are solely responsible for any accompanying animals transported. They must travel in a container which complies with IATA specifications. Accompanying animals may become very nervous on means of transportation, and as such, necessary precautions should be taken. In any case, IN DESTINATION INCOMING S.L.U. must be notified if you wish to transport accompanying animals in the 'Special services' section.
26. What if I want to take more baggage?
You can purchase a higher baggage capacity or special baggage (surf boards, bicycles, etc.) during the booking process.
27. What are the conditions for travelling with children or infants?
Customers must specify the number of infants (up to 2 years) and children (from 3 to 12 years of age) included in the transfer during the booking process. For cars, Spanish regulation obliges those under three years of age to use fastening systems, and if this is not adhered to there is a fee of 90 Euros. This regulation does not apply to minibuses or coaches. For children under 3 years of age, we recommend the use of a booster cushion or suitable chair. Due to the diversity of service and customers, IN DESTINATION INCOMING S.L.U. cannot provide any kind of seat, cushion or booster accessory for children or infants. The adults responsible for minors shall also be responsible for checking the fastenings on these accessories in vehicles and the safety of these. IN DESTINATION INCOMING S.L.U. shall not transport minors who are unaccompanied by adults. Child buggies shall go to the baggage area and only collapsible buggies will be accepted. NOTE: Infants (0 to 2 years of age) shall not be charged when they travel accompanied by at least one adult and when they do not use their own seat on transportation.
28. What languages will the driver speak (for transfers)?
IN DESTINATION INCOMING S.L.U. does not guarantee that the transfer driver will speak your language. However, your travel documentation contains all the information needed for your transfer and most of the drivers will have no problem helping you if necessary.
29. What kind of vehicle will provide transport?
Private transfers: Customers select the class and number of vehicles during the booking process.
Shared transfers: Passengers may be transported by car, minibus or bus.
For excursions: Passengers may be transported by car, minibus or bus.
IN DESTINATION INCOMING S.L.U. will do everything possible to offer the service with the number and vehicle category requested. However, we reserve the right to provide the service with a different number of vehicles and a different category (always higher) should the conditions reserved be unavailable.
30. What difference is there between a private transfer and a shared one?
Private transfer: Passengers with a booking travel in vehicles provided only for them. Customers may choose the category (class) and number of vehicles during the booking process. Private transfer is limited to taking passengers from the start point to the destination without making stops along the way. The collection time and journey duration is set specifically for the booking to which the transfer is made.
Shared transfer: Passengers with a booking may share a vehicle along with other passengers. Shared vehicles makes various stops in different destinations to collect or drop off passengers. For this reason, the journey duration is longer than for a private transfer. The pick up time is set using an approximate time margin. 48 hours before your transfer, we will contact you by mail and SMS to inform you of the exact pick up time. Passengers must be at the pick up point at the time shown for the start of their transfer.
31. How is an excursion made?
Passengers must wait at the pick up point from the time indicated and get on the transportation when it arrives. Travel vouchers must be handed over at this point. The transportation will collect the remaining passengers from different spots. An official guide or an authorised companion guide (as applicable) will travel on the transportation, offering customers explanations on the points of interest in the excursion and will attend to passengers. The excursion shall make official stops and at the end of the excursion, a route will be taken to drop passengers at the same place they were picked up from.
32. What language will the excursion guide speak?
During the booking process, you will have the opportunity to select the excursion language, which guarantees that the excursion guide will speak this language. IN DESTINATION INCOMING S.L.U. will do everything possible to ensure that the excursion is carried out only in one language. However, in some cases, if there are not enough passengers in a specific language, the excursion will be given in various languages. In this case, the excursion guide will offer explanations in various languages besides your own.
33. What services are included in an excursion?
The excursion description included in iberoservice.com specifies the services included in each excursion.
34. What baggage can I take on an excursion?
Each passenger may carry one piece of hand baggage with a maximum weight of 5 kg (maximum dimensions of 45cm x 35cm x 20cm).
35. How will my personal details be processed on the internet?
At IN DESTINATION INCOMING S.L.U. we commit to protecting the personal details of our customers and visitors. Check the 'Privacy policy' section on this site to find out about the processing that information undergoes and adherence to the Constitutional Data Protection Act.

Modular 4160V generators slash $1 million off annual electric bills and assure emergency power. Versatile monitoring, control, and PLC systems integrate for total building control.
To provide peak-shaving/emergency power for the new International Concourse E at Atlanta's Hartsfield airport, eight 1250kVM 1100kW self-contained engine-generator modules are installed in a dual parallel 4160V scheme. For peak shaving duty, the generators can supply 8.8MW of prime power in parallel with the utility. In the emergency power mode, they can supply 10MW of emergency power to all critical loads and numerous selected loads as desired.
The single-line diagram shown on page 36 reveals how a very high reliability level of power is attained. The accompanying photos and related data provide details of the selected equipment and installation methods. In addition, the photos and diagram serve as a guided photo tour of the site. On the diagram, numbered arrows point to key system components; the position of each arrow indicates the angle of view as shown in the appropriate photo. Please refer to the diagram and photos as you read on.
Dual design assures dependability
After several feasibility studies, the engineering firm of Stevens & Wilkinson (S&W) of Georgia, Inc., Atlanta, selected 4160V distribution mainly because of the system's heavy loads and demand as well as long runs to and within the very large building. A lower voltage level would result in excessive voltage drop and losses.
An unusual but highly effective scheme for power distribution and the emergency power system combines redundant features of building power distribution with the generator power supply. The key is the use of dual sources at all voltage levels, dual feeds, tie switches, etc. The distribution system design utilizes a dual network, redundant supply, and primary distribution that works in coordination with a secondary-selective scheme.
It's important to note that the Concourse receives power in a dual utility/generator supply arrangement. Power comes from either of two entirely separate utility sources, or from either of two separate engine-generator sources, each of which supply medium-voltage (MV) power via multiple feeders to two separate main 4160V switchgear assemblies. From the two main MV switchgear line-ups, dual feeders supply 4160V to seven double-ended 4160/480/277V substations, each with two 2500kVA liquid-filled transformers. The substations are furnished with tie circuit breakers and automatic transfer switches as needed.
Multiple generators provide redundancy for emergency power as well as for diversification when they are on peak shaving. The eight generators are normally at rest, except when called on for peak-shaving duty. (A utility power failure automatically places the generators in an emergency power mode.)
In the event that a utility power supply fails, potential transformers (PTs) sense the utility supply loss and send a signal to generator controls, starting all generators. At the same time, all nonessential loads are shed. When two generators on Systems A or B have stabilized, circuit breakers are closed to reenergize the substations. If the critical loads demand more power, additional generators synchronize and come online as needed.
Integrated monitoring and control
Installed monitoring and control systems are numerous and integrate to provide automatic control, monitoring, and alarms. Included are four major systems with numerous subsystems that all work well together.
* Generator control system (action initiation).
* Power monitoring system (action initiation).
* Building management system (monitors and provides automatic control of HVAC and other systems).
* Ground-fault protection and monitoring, radio and phone communications, and coordinated relays that protect and control power distribution when on normal, emergency, or peak-shaving operation.
Also incorporated in the system are lighting controls and energy management functions.
The heart of all monitoring and control for the entire power system is based in a central control room, which is furnished with a number of 486DX computers equipped with programs that operate on "Window-type" programs. These programs bring up single-line diagrams of various portions of the power system and allow the operator to call up real-time readings of volts, amps, demand, kW, etc. at any component. Stored in the computer memory are minimum and maximum values and other data.
Ancillary equipment such as color printers, modems, and radio and communications equipment are included. Similar computer arrangements are installed in strategic locations throughout the 1.3 million sq ft building as well as in other parts of the huge airport complex. Printouts of data or diagrams provide a record of all activity on any system as desired, such as minimum or maximum demand and the date on which it occurred. Results of scheduled testing of the generators and emergency-power system are recorded for regular reference.
The generator control system is complex. When normal utility power fails, a PT sends a 24V signal to the generator controls, which initiate the following actions.
* Open utility circuit breakers.
* Start and parallel all generators.
* Transmit a DC signal to the central and remote computer control. If any type of malfunction occurs, an alarm sounds and appropriate action (automatic or manual) takes place as required.
On peak shaving, a similar control system called an I/O system is activated. This system includes reverse current, overcurrent, and over- and under-voltage relays. These relays send an appropriate analog signal to the I/O board, where the signal is converted for application to a computer for monitoring or action. The system will initiate an alarm if a generator has a problem or can open or close circuit breakers at either the 4160V or 480V level.
Peak Shaving: The reduction of electrical power usage by a facility during a period when the serving utility is experiencing a heavy demand for power. To help the utility to meet its power demand requirements, on site power at the customer's site can be utilized.
Prime Power: The rating of an engine generator set based on its continuous operation. It represents the highest electrical power output available for unlimited hours per year, less the time required for normal maintenance.

O'Reilly repeated 12-year-old myth that pro-life Democrat was forbidden to speak at 1992 convention
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Reviving an old myth, radio host Bill O'Reilly claimed, during his June 22 broadcast, that former Pennsylvania Governor Bob Casey was forbidden to speak at the 1992 Democratic National Convention because he opposes abortion rights.
From the June 22 edition of The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
O'REILLY: I think the Democratic Party has developed its own counterpart in the so-called secular left, as [New York Times op-ed columnist David] Brooks called it, which -- especially on the abortion issue, but on other issues -- which you know, exercises a kind of veto power. Which I think led to the, I think, a very serious mistake that the Democrats made at a recent convention in denying the right of the -- the president and the governor -- the current governor of the time of Pennsylvania, Bob Casey, from even addressing the convention because of his pro-life position.
But the account of Casey and the 1992 Democratic National Convention (not exactly "recent") that O'Reilly repeated is apocryphal. The New Republic's Michael Crowley set the record straight in a 1996 article:
According to those who actually doled out the 1992 convention speaking slots, Casey was denied a turn for one simple reason: his refusal to endorse the Clinton-Gore ticket. "It's [Casey's claim that he was denied a convention speech because of his pro-life views] just not factual!" stammers James Carville, apoplectic over Casey's claims. "You'd have to be idiotic to give a speaking role to a person who hadn't even endorsed you." "Why are you doing this to me?" moans Paul Begala, who, with Carville, managed two Casey campaigns before joining Clinton's team in 1992. "I love Bob Casey, but my understanding was that the dispute was not about his right-to-life views, it was about the Clinton-Gore ticket."
Furthermore, a slew of pro-life Democrats, including Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley Jr., Senators John Breaux and Howell Heflin, and five governors, did address the delegates in 1992. Though the speakers didn't dwell on abortion, party officials say they weren't barred from mentioning the issue.

Huskers Stampede Buffs
Lincoln It may have been the day after Thanksgiving, but No. 19 Nebraska made it seem more like Halloween, turning trick plays into touchdown treats in a 37-14 victory over Colorado in front of a Memorial Stadium record crowd of 85,800 and an ABC national television audience on Friday afternoon.
The Huskers (9-3, 6-2 Big 12) relied on outstanding special teams play and deception throughout the day. Defensive end Barry Turner's 29-yard touchdown catch from reserve quarterback Joe Ganz on a fake field goal gave NU a 14-7 lead at halftime after a first quarter blocked punt led to NU's first score of the afternoon.
A punt by Jordan Congdon downed at the CU 1 by Turner also led to a safety on the next play to help the Huskers take a 23-14 lead and the Huskers never looked back on their way to a third straight victory heading into next Saturday's Big 12 Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
While the special teams shined, the Huskers received strong offensive performances from senior quarterback Zac Taylor and I-back Brandon Jackson in posting their second straight win over Colorado (2-10, 2-6 Big 12).
Taylor completed 18-of-29 passes for 249 yards and two scores, tying Tommie Frazier's school record for career touchdown passes with 43, while breaking his single-season record for passing yards for the second straight year. Taylor, who has thrown for at least 200 yards in each of the past five games, has thrown for 2,789 yards in 2006, breaking his previous NU record of 2,653 in 2005.
Jackson was a workhorse for the Huskers, finishing with 190 all-purpose yards and a pair of scores. He totaled a career-high 34 carries for 142 yards and a score en route to his fourth 100-yard rushing day of the season. Jackson, who became only the second CU opponent to reach the century mark this season, also caught a career-high six passes for 48 yards, becoming the second Husker in school history to record 40 all-purpose attempts in a game.
The Huskers' special teams gave Nebraska great field position for its first drive, which the Huskers capitalized on for their first touchdown, a 15-yard touchdown pass from Taylor to Terrence Nunn. After holding CU on its first possession, Major Culbert partially blocked a Matt DiLallo punt, giving the Huskers the ball at the NU 42-yard line. The Huskers used the power running of Jackson and a key facemask penalty on CU's Abraham Wright on third down to get to the CU 17-yard line. Three plays later, Taylor found Nunn on a crossing route across the middle, as he raced into end zone untouched to give the Huskers an early 7-0 lead.
Nunn finished the day with four catches for 58 yards and a touchdown, while also moving into the No. 2 spot on Nebraska's career receptions list ahead of Matt Davison.
Colorado came right back on its next possession, going 75 yards on six plays, as Bernard Jackson found Riar Geer for a 14-yard touchdown for the tying score. Running back Hugh Charles set up the score, as he deftly spun and avoided a tackle in the backfield and raced 44 yards into Husker territory. Charles had 56 yards on the drive for CU, but had just five yards the rest of the afternoon.
The Buffaloes got a break on Nebraska's next possession, as Lionel Harris stripped Kenny Wilson and then recovered the subsequent fumble at the CU 46 yard line. The Buffaloes drove to the Husker 37-yard line, but could not convert, as Mason Crosby missed a 55-yard field goal attempt.
The Huskers used some razzle dazzle for their second touchdown late in the second quarter, as Ganz found Turner for a 29-yard touchdown to break the tie. Nebraska drove into CU territory and was facing fourth-and-seven when it lined up in the swinging gate formation. Turner, who lined up as a receiver, streaked down the sideline before Ganz threw a strike over the coverage for the touchdown. It was the third time in as many home games the Huskers successfully executed a trick play for a touchdown. It was also Turner's first career touchdown catch, who had three touchdowns catches as a senior tight end in high school.
The Huskers squandered a golden opportunity on its first possession of the second half, as Thaddaeus Washington recovered a Nebraska fumble to thwart a scoring drive. On the second play of the half, Taylor found wide receiver Dan Erickson for a 57-yard completion to the Colorado 24. Two plays later, Harris stripped Jackson of the football, which Washington returned 10 yards. CU would take advantage of the Husker miscue, needing just four plays to go 71 yards, as Mell Holliday raced the final 45 yards for the tying touchdown just 3:09 into the second half.
The teams traded possessions until the combination of Taylor and Purify helped NU move 65 yards on eight plays for the go-ahead score. Purify, who did not have a catch in the first half, kept the drive alive with a pair of third-down conversions, a 31-yard reception on a fade pattern to put the Huskers into CU territory, before Taylor hooked up with Purify on a 10-yard pass to the CU 15. After a pass interference penalty gave NU a first down, Jackson set up the score with a 13-yard run before scoring from the CU 2 on the next play, as NU scored its first third-quarter touchdown in five games.
After holding Colorado on its next possession, Nebraska's special teams once again played a big role in a Husker score, as Adam Carriker and Corey McKeon combined on a safety, stopping Holliday in the end zone to give NU a 23-14 lead. After the Buffaloes stopped a Husker drive, place-kicker Jordan Congdon lofted a punt to the CU 1-yard line where it was downed by a hustling Turner, leading to the safety on Colorado's next play.
After the ensuing free kick, the Huskers used some more special teams chicanery on their next possession before Taylor found Brandon Jackson for an 18-yard touchdown to make it 30-14. Facing fourth-and-one at the CU 40, the Huskers ran a perfectly executed fake, as NU snapped the ball directly to up-back Tierre Green, who went seven yards for a first down, while Taylor was in motion to the sideline. Two plays later, Taylor kept the chains moving with an 18-yard pass to Frantz Hardy before hitting a wide-open Jackson on a wheel route in the end zone, capping the 10-play, 59-yard drive.
The Husker tacked on its final score on Wilson's seven-yard scoring run with 23 seconds left.
Nebraska will play either Oklahoma or Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game next Saturday, Dec. 2, at 7 p.m. on ABC.

Well, our adventure in Hungary is rapidly approaching. We'll be leaving on August 1st and will fly from Newark, NJ to Warsaw, Poland and then on to Budapest. I'll use this blog to cover many of the highlights of our year-long journey, including:
- Living in Budapest. We'll stay in a small apartment on the Buda side of the city in the same building as Dora's parents.
- My work at Eötvös Loránd University. I'll be working with Zoltán Novák, on a photochemistry project trying to use dye molecules to harvest light energy and initiate chemical reactions.
- The experiences of our children, Daniel and Panka, in the Hungarian school system. Daniel is 7 and will be in the 2nd grade. He's been working with his mom on his Hungarian, but isn't fluent yet. We expect that will change quickly. Panka is 5 and will be in the equivalent of kindergarten in Hungary.
- Our travels in Hungary and the rest of Europe.
- Two of my students, Tai Nguyen and Rachel Denny, will visit and work with me at the university in the Summer of 2013 as part of the Arnold Experiential Grant Program and Lebanon Valley College.

Why This Entrepreneur Makes All New Hires Live With Him for a Month
If you want to work at whiskey company WhistlePig, which sells luxury, 10-year old rye, you're first going to have to learn how to feed big, burly pigs and read historic philosophy texts. You're also going to have to leave your home and go live with the entrepreneur who founded WhistlePig for at least a month.
Raj Peter Bhakta, the founder of Shoreham, Vt.-based WhistlePig whiskey, and his wife, Danhee Kim, who runs sales and marketing, say that bringing their new hires up to their farm generates authentic bonds between the staff and gives new hires a chance to build their own, firsthand stories about the rye whiskey brand, which prides itself on being distinctive and irreverent.
For up and coming WhistlePig brand ambassadors, a day at the Vermont headquarters involves everything from feeding pigs on the farm to repairing farm houses to researching whiskey laws in the state where they will focus on once they leave the farm.
Entrepreneur.com traveled to WhistlePig's farm to talk to the founders, meet the current class of WhistlePig brand ambassadors living there, have a bonfire after a feast of a dinner, and, of course, try the whiskey. Watch this video to see the farm and hear why this small company invests so much time and energy into its employees so early on.

|A southernized version of classic Italian Wedding Soup, made with spicy sausage and beef meatballs, collards and black-eyed peas.
Southernized Italian Wedding SoupItalian Wedding Soup has long been a southern favorite, but this version inspired by John Besh, makes it even more regional for us, and, it's a great way to use up some of those leftover black-eyed peas and collard greens you made for your New Year's Day meal. Don't fret if you don't have any leftovers on hand though, because you can certainly used canned products very successfully here, or fresh, quick cooking greens such as turnip, mustard or even baby spinach.
A traditional Italian Wedding Soup often uses a combination of beef and pork, and adds some typical meatball ingredients of bread crumb, egg, onion, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese - forming the mixture into tiny meatballs. You can skip that step and use a spicy seasoned Italian sausage, breaking up the sausage as it cooks into larger chunks, rather than forming meatballs, and season with the meatball seasonings. Either way is good.
This is a delicious soup that comes together in virtually no time and is perfect for this chilly weather. Here's how to make it.
Adapted from My Family Table by John Besh
Recipe: Southernized Italian Wedding Soup©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 20 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
For the Meatballs:
For the Soup:
- 1/2 pound of ground beef
- 1/2 pound of Italian sausage, removed from the casings
- 1/2 cup of dry bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons of dried parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings, canola or vegetable oil
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can of stewed tomatoes
- 2 quarts of chicken broth or stock
- 1/2 tablespoon of dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste
- 2 cups of cooked collards, turnip, or mixed greens
- 2 cups of cooked black-eyed peas
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
For the meatballs, combine the ground beef with the Italian sausage removed from the casings. Add the dry bread crumbs, eggs, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper and Parmesan. Combine and form into tiny meatballs, about the size of a cherry tomato. Bake in a preheated 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or pan fry until lightly browned.
Heat bacon fat or oil over medium to medium high heat, in the bottom of a Dutch oven or other heavy bottomed soup pot. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onions are tender.
Use kitchen shears to cut up the stewed tomatoes in the can. Add, with the juices, to the vegetables; stir in the chicken broth, parsley, Italian seasoning and Cajun seasoning and bring to a boil. Add meatballs, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the collards and black-eyed peas and heat through. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve with cornbread.
Cook's Notes: Can substitute 1 or 2 (14.5 ounce) cans of black-eyed peas, or white beans, drained and rinsed and 1 or 2 (15 ounce) cans of collards, turnip, mustard or mixed greens, drained or about 5 ounces of fresh baby spinach, kale, or other tender, quick cooking greens such as chopped, fresh turnip or mustard greens.
Sausage Variation: Heat bacon fat or oil over medium to medium high heat, in the bottom of a Dutch oven or other heavy bottomed pot. Use 1 pound of spicy Italian sausage, removing from casings and cook, breaking meat up into larger sized chunks. Add the meatball seasonings to the sausage and cook until the sausage is cooked through. Add to the soup ingredients.

Turmeric Paste
Golden Milk
Golden Yogurt
Sometimes referred to as the "poor man's saffron" because of the golden color it imparts, the similarity ends there. Taken internally, turmeric is a friendly healer to the liver and stomach, promoting healthy mucus membranes and skin. Yogis know that it also helps with stiff or creaky joints and arthritis. It is also used as a digestive aid. There is also some evidence that it is even helpful in lowering cholesterol. Turmeric also has a drawing quality, to draw out toxins, dry up secretions, and to heal.
Now, how to get that rather bitter tasting powder into your body?
First of all, cook it. You can either boil it in water for 8-10 minutes to make Turmeric Paste or Golden Milk or sizzle in a little ghee or olive oil for 20-30 seconds. This takes out the bitter taste and also releases the essences of the turmeric into the oil or water. It must be cooked!
You can also get turmeric in capsules at the natural foods store. Usually the capsules contain a greater concentration of curcumin, its active ingredient.
Here are a few yogic remedies:
Sore Throat (especially with mucus/phlegm stuck in throat): Take about ½ teaspoon of thick turmeric paste and form into a ball. Pop it into the back of your throat and swallow with a glass of water. You can do this a few times a day or as often as every hour if desired.
Creaky or Stiff Joints: Take at least 1 cup of Golden Milk every day for 40 days.
Stomach & Digestive Problems: Golden Yogurt, a total of at least 1 cup a day. This is also good for intestinal candidiasis; the yogurt brings in the good bacteria for healthy intestinal flora and, since turmeric is a natural anti-fungal, it helps to counter the yeast overgrowth.
About 15 years ago, during a very stressful time, I developed gastritis. Yogi Bhajan suggested I take a daily concoction of yogurt, banana and 1 Tbsp. of turmeric paste. I found this really quite helpful.
And, you can add turmeric to so many foods. Keep a jar of turmeric paste in the fridge (it keeps for a couple of weeks), and add a spoonful to your breakfast cereal, smoothies, and even spread on toast with a little honey. Also, it's easy to add a spoonful to cooking foods, such as rice, tofu, and vegetable dishes.

Tommy Young Shoot Interview Double DVD-R

Shoot interview with the senior referee of the old NWA. Tommy Young refereed some of the most historic bouts of all time. You can see him in a special interview on the Ric Flair Triple DVD set as he explains to the fans what is now called "The Dusty Finish" as to why Ric Flair retained his title.
Tommy Young speaks about his early start in Detroit under The Sheik. He started as a wrestler and remembers his matches with such wrestlers as Abdullah the Butcher and Andre the Giant (during Andre's first North American tour).
Tommy tells of how he became a referee. He was at a show when the referee no-showed. He volunteered to referee instead of wrestle for the the night, and he stuck with it. He got praise from those working around him, and he decided to stop wrestling and just work as a referee.
He talks about some of the early matches he got to referee from Flair-Steamboat to Brisco-Funk.
Young worked for the outlaw IWA after leaving the Detroit area when George Scott, the promoter for Mid-Atlantic area, saw him. He was asked to join Crockett's Mid-Atlantic area, and that is where he stayed until 1989.
The interview will talk about all the names of the day: Abdullah the Butcher, plenty of Ric Flair stories, Dusty Rhodes, the Crockett Family, Wahoo McDaniel, Nikita Koloff, Lex Luger, Barry Windham and everyone else.
Young has no attachment to wrestling anymore, and he is not worried about burning any bridges. If he hates a guy, he says so. Young had all the insight any other wrestler of the day had. He saw all the talk and drugs and cheating and hustling.
This interview isn't just about Tommy Young, the referee, but the era of the time. The names you know. What were they really like?
What were some classic ribs pulled? What were some distasteful ribs?
Young shares for the first time the story of a Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat match gone bad. And we mean bad as Flair and Steamboat wrestled in a ring full of human crap. Who's crap was it? How did it happen? How did the two men continue to wrestle? This story is not only amazing but hilarious.
Young speaks about such memorable bouts as Starrcade 1985's main event with the classic 'Dusty Finish' where Young had to discuss the situation in a televised interview the following week. Also, Young speaks about Nikita Koloff's memorable exposure at Starrcade '86. Also, Young remembers Halloween Havoc 1989 where the cage caught fire and he had to beat the fire out with his hand.
Young speaks about other referees of the time including Randy 'Pee Wee' Anderson, Nick Patrick, Dave Hebner, Earl Hebner, Dick Worle and more.

Rob Gronkowski isn't the only important player the Patriots will be missing when they take on the Jets Thursday night.
The Patriots confirmed today that not only is Gronkowski out for the Thanksgiving AFC East battle, but guard Logan Mankins and defensive end Chandler Jones are both out as well, both with ankle injuries.
A first-round rookie, Jones has started all 10 games this year and is tied for the team lead with six sacks. Mankins has been dealing with injuries for much of the season, and this will be the fifth game he's missed.
Always thorough with their injury reports, the Patriots also listed 13 players as questionable and three as probable. The Jets didn't list any players as out or doubtful, but seven (including Tim Tebow with a rib injury) were listed as questionable and 11 were listed as probable.

NAPOLEONVILLE — Local football star Jordan Mills spent three anxious days checking his cellphone for the call that would change his life forever.
NAPOLEONVILLE — Local football star Jordan Mills spent three anxious days checking his cellphone for the call that would change his life forever.
That call came Saturday afternoon when the Chicago Bears selected him in the fifth round with the 163rd overall pick of the NFL draft.
While his family celebrated the long-awaited selection at his Napoleonville home, no one was more relieved than Mills, a 6-foot-5, 316-pound offensive tackle who played at Assumption High and Louisiana Tech.
He broke down in tears when he saw an Illinois area code show up on his phone.
"I waited two-and-a-half days for that phone call, so it's a big relief," Mills said. "Chicago called me, and I was on the top of their lists at right tackle, so I'm very glad that they picked me up. I can't wait to be in Chicago and become a Bear."
The 22-year-old said it's a dream come true. He has worked his entire life for that moment, and when it finally came, he said it was an incredible feeling.
"It's a true blessing and I thank God for everything he has done and will do for me," Mills said. "There are no words that can describe it. All I can do is thank God for everything and all my family and friends that supported me throughout this journey."
Mills said he is excited to join a rebuilt Chicago offensive line, which added former New Orleans Saints lineman Jermon Bushrod in free agency this offseason and drafted guard Kyle Long of Oregon with their first-round pick, 20th overall, in this year's draft. The Bears' offense is led by offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer, who coached the Saints offensive line and served as interim-interim head coach in New Orleans last year.
Mills said he wasn't surprised that the Bears selected him because they were one of the teams that showed the most interest in him during the Senior Bowl, NFL Scouting Combine and other pre-draft workouts.
"I think I'm going to fit in well," Mills said. "I know it's cold up there, but I'm grateful to be going there. It's a situation where they got Bushrod at left and they are looking for a right tackle, so I'm going to go up there and give them my all and try to become a starter and become a key part to the offensive line."
Mills, who also got calls from teams that include Jacksonville, Dallas and Arizona, was projected as a late-third- to fourth-round selection by most draft analysts. He said it didn't matter which team selected him because all he wanted to do "was play football."
While he admitted that he was discouraged to see so many other offensive linemen selected before him, Mills said he is fine with being chosen in the fifth round, adding that it will serve as extra motivation.
"I felt like I was better than some of the people that were drafted early, but God always has a plan for you," Mills said. "Some teams passed me up, but the right team picked me up. For all the people who passed me up, they are going to regret the reason they passed me up. I will make sure that every team I play fears the Chicago Bears and Jordan Mills."
Michael Walker, Mills' agent, said his client is a perfect fit for Chicago because he has the talent to play left or right tackle. Walker said Mills is a nice guy, but on the field he turns into a fierce competitor with a mean streak.
"He'll adjust to the NFL well," Walker said. "He's got the personality where the media is just going to love him up there in Chicago. He's got a smile. Chicago doesn't know what they are in for. 'Big Sexy Nasty' is coming their way. He's Brian Urlacher of the offense. He brings that kind of nasty attitude to the Chicago area."
Mills will leave for Chicago on Thursday as he prepares for the rookie mini-camp May 10-12. He said he can't wait to meet his new coach and teammates, including receiver Brandon Marshall, who texted and offered well wishes Saturday.
"It's a system I'm going to adapt to," Mills said. "I'm ready to show the coaches I can play and what I can do. I think I'll be fine."
About 20 family members and friends sat by his side at every passing hour until getting the word that he was drafted. When the moment came, they all erupted from their seats in joy.
"I'm very excited for this because he worked very hard to continue his career," said Mills' mom, Margaret. "He was patient and humble, and he tried to do what he was told. The wait was real long, but it was worth it. It will pay off for him because I know he is a hard worker."
Mills' father — O'Neal Mills Sr. — said he didn't care which team selected his son or in which round; he's just proud to see his son's dream come true.
"It's unbelievable. If you trust in God, anything can happen," O'Neal Mills said. "It's going to be a dream to go to Chicago. Chicago is a good team. We love the Chicago Bears down here."
Mills, the sixth of seven kids, grew up in a sports family. His three older brothers — Rodney, Richard and O'Neal Jr. — all played football and basketball, and Mills, the youngest of the four boys, credits his brothers for inspiring him to make it.
"I'm the first of my brothers to get drafted anywhere, and they all had tremendous talent in football and basketball," Mills said. "I feel like they are living their dream through me, and I'm not going to let my family down."
Rodney Mills beamed with pride as he described what it means to see his youngest brother become a professional football player.
"It feels great to see him get drafted and go on to play in the NFL," Rodney said. "I've been with Jordan the whole way, instilling a lot of hard work and dedication. It was a lot of hours of blood, sweat and tears, so in the end, this was the best result. This is what he has always wanted. He listened, we worked with him, and he made it."
Mills also got inspiration from his cousin Tramon Williams, a Super Bowl-winning defensive back with the Green Bay Packers. Since they are now NFC North division rivals, Mills said he can't wait to play against Williams.
"Even though he's my cousin and I love him, it's not going to be good for him," Mills said.
Mills' former coach at Assumption High, Shawn Preston, said he knew the offensive lineman had the talent and will to make it the NFL. Preston recalled the countless hours and days Mills spent in the weight room and practice field with the Mustangs.
"He's a kid who you could tell had potential early," Preston said. "He was a very big kid at a young age. Anytime you can find a kid 6-5 or 6-6 that can run the way he does, we knew he would have a shot. He's really made a name for himself at La. Tech. He worked extremely hard to become an NFL player. I'm just proud of him and wish him the best. I know he's going to do well."
Mills thanked his whole family for its support and promised to represent his entire community well in the NFL.
"I'm going to take advantage of it to the best of my ability," Mills said. "Everyone can now see me play on Sundays and Mondays on TV now. I'm not going to let them down."

text: Known for her headline-making costumes, Lady Gaga didn't disappoint with her attire for her poster for her new fragrance Fame. In the ad, shot by Steven Klein, a naked Gaga's lady bits are covered by tiny, muscular, masked men in designer jock straps who are climbing her body. Described as "The First Ever Black Eau de Parfum," Fame is actually black liquid that purportedly changes color when applied to the body. Gaga has said the women's fragrance will smell like "an expensive hooker" with the "molecular structure of blood and semen." The back of the box, however, describes the scent as "tears of belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea with a black veil of incense, pulverized apricot and the combinative essences of saffron and honey drops."


text: 12th Oct 11:12 A judge has dismissed MySpace founder Brad Greenspan's claims that the sale price of the social networking site to News Corporation was too low. Greenspan said he will appeal. Greenspan founded MySpace and is a former chief executive of its parent company Intermix. He filed a suit in February claiming that News Corp's $580m purchase of Intermix did not value the business highly enough, claiming that the company's officers acted out of a desire for personal gain above the interests of the shareholders. Superior Court judge Carolyn Kuhl dismissed Greenspan's claims, saying that the acquisition was legal and the decision taken by Intermix board members was legitimately taken, according to Fox Interactive, the division of News Corp which looks after MySpace. "News Corporation and Fox Interactive Media feel vindicated by Judge Kuhl's ruling," said Mike Angus, Fox Interactive Media's general counsel in a statement. Last week Greenspan published a demand that an investigation be conducted into the sale by the US financial regulator the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Department of Justice, and the United States Senate Committee on Finance. "News Corp's valuation has increased by $12bn since the transaction occurred just one year ago, and there are several independent analysts today that agree that MySpace is worth tens of billions of dollars," Greenspan said in that statement.

I've been pondering the world map, in particular travel times and time zones (I may be over-thinking this...) but there's a problem. Namely, the map as it works in FFVII the game is totally borked. It maps on a torus rather than a sphere, and as far as I'm aware there's no way to make the two equivalent.
I'd actually rather like to see if I could make a vaguely sensible spherical interpretation of the FFVII world, but it might take a little time and would be strictly non-canon (and probably make a mockery of the canonically very short travel times in FFVII - start of the game to end is supposed to be just over six weeks!). If people are willing to accept it for the RP though, I'll see what I can do.
(Moral of this thread: FFVII background is a terrible, inconsistent mess )

UC Santa Barbara's Marquis Caldwell and Mitchell Haag swept the men's portion of the Big West Track and Field Athletes of the Week awards with standout performances at the Cal/Nevada Championships. As a team, UCSB finished in third at the UC San Diego hosted meet, but Caldwell and Haag both made first place efforts in their events.
Caldwell was named the Big West Men's Track Athlete of the Week after finishing in first place in the 400 meters with a personal-best time of 46.95. Not only was that tops at the meet, but it also currently ranks first overall in the Big West and eighth in the West Region. The senior showed his prowess in two team events too, as he anchored two winning relay teams in the 4x100 and the 4x400. His 41.32 split in the 4x100 earned UCSB the victory with four-tenths of a second ahead of Sacramento State.
Mitchell Haag was already named Field Athlete of the Meet at the Cal/Nevada Championships for his winning leap in the high jump. Now, the senior's personal-best 7-02.50 earned him the title of Big West Men's Field Athlete of the Week. The jump was about 1.18 inches more than his previous career-high set at last year's Big West Championships. Haag's mark is tied the eighth-best in the nation.
The UCSB Track & Field team will continue their season this weekend at the Tommie Lister Invitational hosted at Cal State Los Angeles. The heptathletes and decathletes will be competing against Olympic champion Ashton Eaton and UCSB alumnus Barbara Nwaba among others at the star-studded Sam Adams multis this weekend at Westmont.

Thursday was the day that about 1,200 local public-access pool and spa operators, including hotels and motels, were required to modify their pools for disabled persons, mainly by installing lifts or having sloped entries.
Thursday was the day that about 1,200 local public-access pool and spa operators, including hotels and motels, were required to modify their pools for disabled persons, mainly by installing lifts or having sloped entries.
Some hotel owners grudgingly paid thousands to install the lifts and met the U.S. Justice Department deadline, which had been extended. Some didn't, for a variety of reasons.
"I believe a majority of them have or will comply," said Bob Davis, president and CEO of the Hotel Lodging Association of Volusia County, which opposed the requirement. "The industry is doing what it has to do. We fought the battle and lost and it's time to comply."
Julie Shaw, executive director of the disAbility Solutions for Independent Living nonprofit agency based in Daytona Beach, does not believe "a majority" are in compliance.
"Even before the extension, many were looking for ways around the law," she said Thursday. "There is a lot of resistance locally. I think 25 percent are compliant. It takes time for some to respond and to do what's right."
In July 2010, President Barack Obama announced revised Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations. They included the requirement that publicly accessed pools provide disabled persons the same access as an able-bodied person.
"It's more for visitors to our area than the residents, but we have issues with limited beach assess for the disabled," said Michael Porter, president of the Handicapped Adults of Volusia County. "Right now, the disabled have to sit back on the pool decks and watch people enjoying the pools and beaches and see how they are being exploited."
The initial pool access deadline of March 15, 2011 was extended to May 21, 2011 and then Jan. 31, 2013 to clarify the rules.
Elite Hospitality in Ormond Beach moved quickly to comply soon after the second extension, said Manoj Bhoola, company president. Lifts have been installed for at least six months at the company's 11 hotels, including two oceanfront hotels in Ormond Beach and two near Daytona Beach International Airport.
"We did it fast to avoid the threat of lawsuits like has happened in the past in Daytona," he said.
Each lift at Elite cost about $9,000 installed and there are multiple lifts at hotels with outdoor pools, indoor pools and hot tubs. The cost was "substantial," Bhoola said.
The cost — about $5,000 in their case — has prevented Robert and Patricia Curtis from meeting the deadline at their small, 11-room Valdora Court Motel in New Smyrna Beach. The couple in May said they were considering filling in the pool rather than complying.
Instead, they are filing an extension plan that shows them behind on their mortgage payments to Patricia Curtis' parents, who sold them the 30-year-old motel. They also will ask for time to save the money to buy the needed lift.
"We got bids to fill in, but decided to try and keep it," Robert Curtis said. "I think it's unfair to broad brush everyone like this. If we put one in, it's going to be a liability because the pool is unsupervised. Children will play on it."
Curtis could not recall having a guest in a wheelchair.
Gary Brown, owner of the Sun Viking Lodge in Daytona Beach, said his three lifts are on order and should be installed within a month. The models he was looking at cost between $2,500 and $5,000 each.
"Seems like a lot of us waited until the last minute and the supply can't meet the demand," Brown said. "The problem is there are so many varieties and they all say they are ADA compliant. But, I've heard horror stories about some not working and others being recalled. I wanted to make sure of what I was buying and took a while to make up my mind."
Merle Kappelmann, owner of the Flamingo Inn in Daytona Beach Shores, said she forgot about the deadline while being on vacation the past two months.
"We are a small property, been here 30 years and maybe had 20 disabled guests," she said. "It will be difficult laying out that kind of expense for something that will sit by the pool rusting and unused."
But, for disability rights activists, the law is about equality.
"The disabled guests pay the same for a room at a hotel and even pay the facility fee for the amenities," Shaw said. "I have not heard of a hotel offering to reimburse a disabled guest because they could not access the pool, fitness room or spa."
Enforcement is complaint-driven. Pool owners, if a complaint is verified, could pay a civil fine of $55,000 for a first violation and $110,000 for a subsequent violation, according to Dena Iverson, a spokeswoman with the U.S. Justice Department.

Those familiar with Baltimore know it's a vibrant city; there's always more going on than meets the eye. Dive bars, little-known hotspots and a very clustered, main-street, neighborhood feel can make sections of Baltimore seem emptier than they really are. A recent series of murals looks to change that perception by bringing some of the color that every Baltimorean is familiar with to the surface. The Open Walls Project, a collaboration of artists from around the world, is aimed at using murals as a means to enliven and revitalize communities. Below is a map showing the relatively large section of central Baltimore that the Open Walls Project has chosen to cover including the neighborhoods of Station North and Greenmount West.
Station North, the area just north of Penn Station, from which is draws its name, and Greenmount West are two neighborhoods that are physically very close to one another with Greenmount West lying just to the east of Station North. Despite their proximity, they find themselves at slightly different points in the revitalization process. Though both have seen a turnaround recently, Station North, due to its central location and proximity to Penn Station, has seen more investment than its eastern neighbor. But art, it would seem, is undeterred by the vacant homes and lack of investment east of Guilford Avenue. In fact, many of the murals are in Greenmount West. Some are even on the sides of homes that stand in the middle of what used to be a proud block. Due to disinvestment and blight, some properties have been demolished leaving windowless walls facing vacant lots and street corners. This problem plagues many of Baltimores neighborhoods but, hopefully, the addition of art to the Greenmount West's corners can help fill the void left by vacant houses and empty storefronts.
Below are some of the murals:
More murals can be seen in an article in the Huffington Post on the Open Walls Baltimore project.Follow @bmore_urban
