Working as a faculty member at the Norton School, I am responsible for providing a first-class learning experience for my undergraduate as well as my graduate students. When I came to Arizona from my home country, Germany, in 2008, I encountered vast differences in the educational systems that translate into differing expectations, achievements and desires of students, faculty and society. Living and working here, as well as profiting from UA's constructive environment, is a great learning experience for me. My experiences provide me with an opportunity to reflect on, adapt to and shape this new environment I find myself in. This might also explain the characteristics I greatly value in my students: creativity, determination, a penchant for critical reflection and a positive attitude toward change.
I believe that we all can and should make a difference–by actions, not proclamations. As a researcher, it is humbling to realize how little difference we actually make with most of our projects and publications, aiming at a selected few reviewers and readers. However, we can achieve significantly more if we try to focus on what our expertise and curiosity can do for the society that we are an integral part of. I strongly believe that research is critical for a flourishing society and economy and that education is one of the most important values a government and its citizens need to uphold.
My favorite pastime is hiking Arizona's mountains and canyons. I do "triple rims," crossing the Grand Canyon twice in a day (if all goes well…). But I also like to pause and enjoy the beauty of this land—beauty that lies within its biggest features, such as the rugged "GC" but also within its smallest inhabitants, such as wildflowers and birds. Arizona is home to 18 species of hummingbirds. They are magnificent creatures: cute and pretty; fierce and resilient; a humbling wonder of "natural technology." Getting "buzzed" by one of these tiny skyrockets in my backyard makes my day.
Areas of Expertise
Consumer social responsibility
Sustainable consumption
Corporate reputation management
Referral management
Research Focus
I conduct research in three main areas:
I analyze customers' referral behavior and how companies can make use of it, as well as customers' reactions to the management of their word of mouth. For instance, I conduct experiments on how consumers react to incentives that are being paid in referral campaigns.
I also investigate how the reputation of companies impacts their stakeholders' perceptions and behavior. One study that I conducted looked at how employees' pride and commitment to their firm is affected by their employer's reputation. For this research, I developed a measure for corporate reputation.
Finally, I am very interested in attempting to understand consumers' perception of social responsibility. I started working in this entirely new research field upon coming to Arizona, and it has now became my "favorite pet." I believe this a very worthwhile research endeavor because we live in a time and age where consumers need to take charge and cannot wait for government and/or corporations to change the way we live and consume. If we do not radically change our consumption patterns, life as we know it will cease to exist: what a drastic statement, and what a fantastic challenge for research!

Record-seeking rowing team in Puerto Rico after rescue
MIAMI (AP) — Four men whose boat overturned as they attempted a record-setting row across the Atlantic were back on dry land Monday, recovering from their grueling journey and trying to figure out how to salvage their vessel.
The U.S.-Canadian team of adventurers arrived in Puerto Rico aboard a cargo ship that responded to the Coast Guard call for assistance and retrieved the men from their life raft about 850 miles (1,370 kilometers) from Miami, their destination.
After some beer and pizza and a night in a hotel bed, the four were reconnecting with their families and members of their support team after 73 days at sea.
"No one's hurt. Everybody's in very good shape," team captain Jordan Hanssen said in an interview with The Associated Press. "There are a few bruises from basically trying to flip the boat over but that's about it."
They set off from Dakar, Senegal, with the goal of setting a world record for an unassisted, human-powered row across the Atlantic Ocean. Two oars snapped and their wind generator broke down but the journey was progressing steadily, with the men switching off in pairs every one to four hours, and they expected to reach Miami around April 20.
The early part of the trip was more difficult than expected but the past week had gone relatively smoothly so the capsizing caught everyone by surprise, said Greg Spooner, land operations chief for Seattle-based OAR Northwest, which organized the trans-Atlantic attempt sponsored by the Canadian Wildlife Federation.
Thousands of students across North America participated in the expedition's free curriculum and the endurance rowers collected data on marine conditions in the Atlantic, Spooner said.
Things went awry around 6 a.m. Saturday.
The U.S. Coast Guard had reported that a rogue wave capsized the boat. It was actually a bit more complicated. Hanssen, from Seattle, had just taken over the steering and was about to be joined in rowing by Markus Pukonen. Canadian Olympic gold medalist Adam Kreek and Patrick Fleming were closing up the cabin for a rest.
Winds of about 20 mph were running against the current, creating steep waves, but they had encountered bigger and steeper waves at other points in the journey. Two just happened to break rapid succession, pushing down the stern during the crew shift change and the 29-foot boat rolled to the side, then capsized.
"It was a mixture of timing and bad luck," Hanssen said. "We had 73 days of doing exactly what we set out to do and meeting all these goals and expectations and we have quite literally two waves of bad luck."
All four managed to scramble free of and get to their life-raft. They activated their emergency locator beacons, which triggered a Coast Guard search and then spent the next three hours in a fruitless effort to right the boat.
The Coast Guard said it located the men about 400 miles (645 kilometers) north of Puerto Rico and that the Panamanian-flagged car carrier "Heijin" had agreed to retrieve them. They had to abandon their vessel, the "James Robert Hanssen," named for the captain's father, who died when he was young child.
Now, they are trying to see if it will be possible to recover the boat, which is worth about $200,000 including the equipment. A damaged life jacket on board had a locator signal but it's not clear whether it is still transmitting or will help them recover their vessel.
"I don't have webbed feet so I'm pretty happy to be on land," Hanssen said. "But at the same time this isn't how I wanted to end it."

The Cynar Flip/
So about this Cynar stuff. It's starting to grow on me, intellectually if not gastronomically. Intellectually, the more I read
straight off the website and paraphrase as I'm about to do now up on it, the more intrigued I get. It's been around since 1952 (that alone, the cinematic notion of la vita bella circa 1952, is enough to sweep my grandiose imagination off its size 11 feet). In 1995 Cynar was bought by the Campari Group... which also owns Cabo Wabo Tequila, wtf? The U.S. is not among Cynar's top-five markets worldwide, although I have found pockets of American afi-Cynar-nados online; those are Brazil, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and France, where apparently people like to spike their beer with it.
Gastronomically, I think I might be on the cusp of a whole Italian herbal liqueur movement. Seems everywhere I've gone lately, I've been confronted by bottles of Aperol and Amaro and I just get itchy with curiosity. They are fast replacing bitters in my bartending fancies/fantasies. (Am I going too fast? Quick primer, if so: What I'm talking about here are aperitifs (before-dinner drinks, usually on the light and crisp side) and digestifs (heavier after-dinner drinks). Aperol, which is a singular product like, say, Benedictine, is considered an aperitif. Amaro's a digestif and is a categorical name for a kind of drink the way, say, bourbon is. There are tons of different Amaro brands, and because they virtually all go by "Amaro [Italian brand name that sounds like a village]" their labels may read as if their surnames indicate something more than marketing, like some sort of regional appellation, but really they don't . One more thing: it's pronounced CHEE-nar. That's how they say it in these awesome commercials from the 1960s.)
As I've bemoaned before, the loamy, leathery flavor of Cynar is a highly acquired one, but slowly acquiring it I believe I am. A few months ago I'd printed out something from TastingTable about flips, which are cocktails made with a whole egg, and just recently while flipping through my binder o'drink things that catch my eye, I noticed a recipe for a Cynar flip, little more than Cynar, egg and simple syrup. Sold.
I've touted the use of egg whites in cocktails aplenty, which give you that great, frothy head
(that's what she said) while rounding out a drink's harsher, more acidic elements. A whole egg gives you a drink with body just this side of batter-thick, as if your tongue has been ensconced in velvet, or better yet, Italian silk.
The Cynar Flip
(Adapted from Drink, a cocktail lounge in Boston, via TastingTable)
2 1/2 ounces Cynar
1 whole egg
1 teaspoon cilantro-infused simple syrup
Star anise, for garnish
Combine Cynar, egg and simple syrup in an ice-filled shaker and shake vigorously for a really long time, like a minute. Strain into cocktail glass. Drop star anise on top for garnish.
Tasting Notes:
Drink's recipe calls for plain simple syrup, but a side-by-side sniff test of my Cynar bottle and my cilantro-infused simple syrup bottle led me to the olfactory-driven conclusion that they'd be a good match. The truth is, with an ingredient as forceful as Cynar and a whole egg in there, who knows if I would've been able to tell the difference.
To make cilantro-infused simple syrup: Heat on the stove in small pot equal parts sugar and water (one cup each is a good place to start) stirring consistently. Right when it comes to a full boil, remove from heat. Stir in a healthy handful of well-cleaned cilantro leaves. Once it's cooled down to around room temperature, strain through a good strainer or cheese cloth into a bottle for storage. You can keep this in your fridge for a good month or so.
Sean and I tried this at first and decided it needed the slightest bit of something extra. Not another liquid ingredient or something on the rim; I felt like what I really wanted was a piece of candied ginger that I could slice into and straddle atop the rim as a garnish, so I could trade nibbles of it for sips of cocktail, which is certainly thick and forward enough to match wits with it. Alas, we don't keep candied ginger in the house, but we do have star anise, a spice from China. As you can see, it allows for quite the dramatic presentation, but more importantly, the spice's way-potent, licorice-like fragrance was what we were going for. This is meant to be a purely smell-experienced garnish, in other words. You get a perfume-y little whiff of it right before the drink hits your lips, which turned out to be a good je ne sais quoi.

General manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen are intent upon taking an extensive look at every player on the 53-man roster, especially those that haven't received much playing the first 13 games.
The process is well underway now that the Raiders are out of playoff contention. Just don't expect to see players such as quarterback Terrelle Pryor, offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom and defensive end Jack Crawford from the outset Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
"I don't see any real major changeups as far as the starting lineup's concerned, but we do want to see some of these guys get in some game action," Allen said. "How much that is, I don't know exactly right now. A lot of that, the game will dictate what that is."
McKenzie said he particularly wants to see what Pryor can do in a regular-season game.
"That's the only way I can evaluate him, is to play him," McKenzie said Nov. 30. "Now, when he plays, how much he plays, that will be a charge to the coaching staff but, yes. … This is a good time to try to figure out what works best for him."
The Raiders selected Pryor in the third round of the NFL supplemental draft in 2011. He has played one snap in 29 regular-season games in his NFL career.
Allen said a package of plays designed for Pryor to run was installed a few weeks ago. The proper situation hasn't presented itself for Pryor to run those plays. It's also possible that backup Matt Leinart will play before Pryor gets his chance, Allen added.
"The biggest thing is to start getting him into the game a little bit and let him see a little game action," Allen said of Pryor. "I'm not ready to say that he'd be a starter."
Pryor said he didn't receive many reps during practice this week. Just the same, he is anticipating playing.
"I know I'll be a tiny bit nervous," Pryor said. "I haven't played in awhile. Just pray through it and go out and do what I do. Progressions, no turnovers, have fun and smile. That's it, at the end of the day. And Monday, learn, whether I did good or bad."
— Tight ends Brandon Myers, Richard Gordon and David Ausberry were on equal footing during the offseason as the Raiders searched for a replacement for jettisoned starter Kevin Boss.
Myers quickly asserted himself as the heir apparent to Boss. Playing time for Ausberry and Gordon has dwindled as the season progressed. They played one snap each in Oakland's most-recent game.
"We've had a chance to look at these guys a little bit," Allen said. "We kind of know what we've got in these guys. They're still in the lineup, and they'll still be used pretty much the same way we've used them."
That means a steady diet of special-teams play and very little playing time on offense.
— Defensive tackle Richard Seymour (hamstring) missed practice Friday, but there's still a chance that he will play against the Chiefs, Allen said.
Seymour has missed the past five games with an injury he suffered Nov. 4 against the Buccaneers.
Strong safety Tyvon Branch (ankle, neck) returned to practice, and he is in the same boat as Seymour for Sunday. Allen said both will be evaluated before the game and a decision on their availability made at that time.
— The U.S. Marines will be at Sunday's game to collect donations and accept new, unwrapped toys as part of their annual Toys for Tots program.
Also, running back Darren McFadden, fullback Marcel Reece, Myers and linebacker Miles Burris will sign autographs in exchange for a new, unwrapped toy valued at $20 or more at The Raider Image at Southland Mall in Hayward on Monday, from 6 p.m.-8.

Find a lipstick shade that suits your hair, eye and skin colour
Image via Inglot.
Lipstick: the makeup staple with its own built-in superpowers! It has the ability to make your skin look more radiant, your teeth whiter, your eyes pop and your lips bigger and poutier, all in a single swipe. Many of us count on lipstick to complete our makeup look and we all have our favourite shades. But have you ever wondered why some shades look better on some people? Why your best friend can rock bright red lipstick, but you can't, no matter how hard you try?
Well, it turns out our most complimentary lipstick shades all come down to our hair, eye and skin colour!
We caught up with the team at Inglot for a lesson in lipstick matching to find the most flattering shades for every combination.
Westfield: Lipstick – is it still popular, or are women going for more of a natural look?
Inglot: Lipsticks will always complete your makeup look! Whether it's a bold colour or a nude shade, it will always be a must-have.
W: What trends are we seeing right now?
I: Metallic is making a comeback! We have just released our Diamond Lip Tints that are waterproof, super long-wearing, and give an opaque finish.
W: Are there any universal shades that suit everyone?
I: Everyone can pull off nude! There are just so many shades of nude these days for lips. Our top sellers are Inglot Lipstick in 220, 116 and 167, and the HD Lip Tint in 17 and 32.
W: Does your hair and skin colour play much of a role when it comes to choosing the right shades?
I: Yes! However, at Inglot, we like to say there are guidelines, rather than rules! If you have red hair, there are still red/orange lipsticks that will suit you – it's all about finding the right shade of that colour.
W: Let's talk hair...
I: Brunettes can pull off most colours as brown is a neutral colour, but purple/plum really makes brown eyes pop! Blondes suit red lipstick and it lifts copper tones on the eyes (just try to avoid orange or yellow as this may clash). Redheads look amazing in soft pink tones.
W: How about complexions – fair, olive, dark?
I: It's very dependent on the overall look you are going for. If you want to be bold, fair skin looks great with a pop of colour like purple or red. Olive or dark skin tones should avoid anything too 'frosty' or pale, as it can make your lips look dry. Other than that, these complexions can pull off most bold lipsticks with ease. Lucky!
W: Eye colour seems to play a big role in choosing the right lipstick. What would you recommend for each?
I: The secret trick is to choose the complete opposite colour to make your eyes pop. For example, blue eyes look great with orange undertones, while green eyes suit berry red shades. While brown eyes suit nearly every colour, we recommend going for purple if your eyes are more golden brown. Hazel eyes work with purple, red and brown tones.
W: Which celebs can we look to for classic hair and eye combos and the lipsticks that suit best?
I: If you have red hair and green eyes, think Emma Stone – she is always flawless with a matte red lipstick! Blonde hair and blue-eyed beauties should look to Blake Lively, who usually chooses warm pinks/oranges and reds. Dark hair and dark eyes can be inspired by Queen Bey, who pulls off everything from dramatic plum/purple hues to nude glossy lips!
W: Lastly, what are your top lip-related tips for the season?
Always swipe on a hydrating lip balm like our Rich Care Lip Balm when you start applying your makeup. This way, it will have time to absorb and your lipstick will glide on much easier when it comes to apply!
A great lip liner always makes asymmetrical lips easier to complete. I can't go past our AMC Matte Lip Pencils as they are
A glossy lip is perfect for any makeup look! Our High Gloss Lip Oils are nourishing and add volume to your lips.
Metallic lips are so fun! Try our HD Diamond Lip Tints for a long-wearing, bold lip. They can be used on their own, over a lip liner or over any lipstick. Or, you can apply to just the inner lip for a subtle shine!
Matte magenta and crimson tones will be popular this spring... We often use these shades for runway shows as they add instance glam to a simple makeup look. Try Inglot Lipstick in 423 and 424 in our matte lipstick range.

19 Oct 2011
(HONG KONG) Dragonair has unveiled its seasonal menu for autumn featuring hot pot rice and crab roe dishes which have been specially designed to offer seasonal delicacies to passengers.
The hot pot rice dishes utilise popular culinary herbs such as American ginseng, wolfberries, cordyceps flowers, ginkgo nuts and yam. These herbs appear in many Asian and Chinese dishes and are prized for their ability to generate energy, strengthen the body's vital organs and for their anti-aging properties.
"A healthy herbal diet offers a wide a range of nutritional value and more and more local restaurants are featuring various seasonal herbal dishes on their menus. The new Dragonair menu is in line with this trend to offer healthy seasonal dishes to appeal to our passengers," Dragonair General Manager Inflight Services Cecilia Leung said.
Five new hot pot rice delicacies incorporating herbal ingredients have been added to Dragonair's First Class winter menu (see Appendix – 1a) on Mainland trunk routes.
Six delicious hot pot rice dishes will be introduced on the Business Class menu (see Appendix – 1b) for autumn and winter, and is the first time that the hot pot rice menu will be available in the Business Class cabin.
Dragonair has also added to the popular seasonal crab roe menu and Chinese long-boiled soups which are exclusively offered to First Class passengers. These dishes have been well received by passengers since their introduction and Dragonair's catering team devoted time and effort to ensuring there would not be a deterioration in taste when the dishes were reheated inflight.
The Chinese long-boiled soups have been given a seasonal twist incorporating radix codonopsis and red dates, both of which have warming properties, making them a perfect choice for winter months.
Six new crab roe dishes have also been created (see Appendix – 2a) including Braised King Scallop with Hairy Crab Roe and Braised Winter Melon stuffed with Hairy Crab Roe and Prawns and will be added to the recurring crab roe menu (see Appendix – 2b).
Dragonair's catering team has given the crab roe menu a tasty twist by blending it with vegetables, winter melons and tofu rather than the traditional pork or beef to give the new dishes a refreshing taste.
"Vegetables and melons have a light taste and texture which contrasts with the strong crab roe taste offering a unique taste for our passengers to enjoy," Ms Leung said. "Dragonair's inflight menu is a key selling point with passengers and we strive to offer the best of Asian and Chinese seasonal cuisine to them."

So we've had 13 years of club life, been good eh? (rhetorical).
Yes we've had our clashes, fall outs and our fair share of crap but it's been overwhelmingly positive experience from my point of view.
I took a bit of a step back more recently as fatigue was setting in, oh and the fact I sold my mk1.5 'Zombie' so felt my impetus somewhat lacking. Time passed and being the type of person who doesn't like to give up I mooted the idea to my co-founder Paul Woods about where we can
Updated 01-03-2017 at 20:01 by nik
Bought a pair of overalls. This shit is getting serious now.
Armed with a righteous lack of knowledge and knowhow - I have embarked on my biggest MR2 related task to date
New suspension, new braided brake lines and new brake Callipers - what the feck could go wrong, eh?
A month ago (Edit: a few months ago now) I received a package almost as cool as the Fonz himself, from BC Racing containing, surprisingly enough, a set of coil-overs. Happy Days. (CUT TO: Several
Finally, finally got around to replacing an offside front drop-link. To say it was stubborn would be an understatement. However, it was a deep and personal journey for me - as I discovered I had tourettes. Not a case of mild tourettes this was the full-blown syndrome. The word combination was spectacular and for the most part anatomically impossible.
Anyway, apart from the drop-link - I also changed the front discs. EBCs. Dont know if theyll be any good. Was simply suckered
A few weeks ago I received a dodgy looking brown parcel - I knew it was either a MASSIVE pigmy porn collection I won off eBay or, and most likely, set of 4 brake discs and Yellow Stuff pads from EBC. It was the brakes.
The following Saturday morning - myself, me, moi and I and my youngest off-spring decided to change all the discs and pads. Well, I decided to do it - the off-spring wanted to watch Ben and Hollies Little Kingdom.
After jacking up the car (not drugs)
Okay. Okay. So, been a while. Got a new Mr2 Mk3. The old Mk1 fell apart - from the inside out - like a prolapsed anus. It was a real shame - I loved that car. Well, love might be too strong a word. I 'liked' it, considerably - like custard.
The new Mk3 is a 2000. In epileptic green. The front end rattles like a couple of gay skeletons wanking each other off in a dustbin. But that's ok. The brakes squeal like a (insert legal version of what I was going to write here). But that is

The Bangor event will take place that Cross Insurance Center, 515 Main St., at 9 a.m. An event in Portland at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, 350 Commercial St., will follow at 12:30 p.m.
At 7:30 p.m., Cutler will conduct a "Telephone Town Hall," wherein voters can participate in a phone conference with the candidate, or send their questions via Twitter. Folks can register for the event online.
Earlier this week, Cutler released a campaign book, "A State of Opportunity," in which he outlined his vision for Maine's future if he is elected governor, and took jabs at the two major parties for what he said was a failure of leadership over the past decade.
The anything-but-surprising campaign announcement event has become a political trope of sorts. Candidates for national office often campaign for months under the guise of exploratory committees before "officially" kicking off their bids for office. In Maine, Democratic gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud held his event a month ago in Lewiston, months after it was clear that he was going to run.
LePage is the only candidate to have so far eschewed public "announcement" event. He made his election intentions clear at a private fundraiser earlier this year. He filed the necessary paperwork to run again in 2014 way back in 2011, just months after being inaugurated.
Still, LePage's public events and communications have adopted a distinct campaign tone lately, often with the election-ready phrases such as "Words are like thunder. They make a lot of noise, but they don't accomplish anything," and "Actions speak louder than words." The catchphrases are a nod to the governor's successful track record of achieving his policy goals despite Democratic opposition, as well as a dismissal of critiques of his confrontational and sometimes inflammatory oratory style.
Recent polls show Michaud leading the pack with a slim margin over LePage, and Cutler trailing. However, some numbers indicate that Cutler has the most room for movement, with about 30 percent of Mainers either undecided about him or too unfamiliar with him to have an opinion.
According to a financial summary from the Maine Ethics Commission, Cutler is sitting on a campaign war chest of about $358,000, compared to LePage's $282,000 and Michaud's $306,00. Those figures represent that amount of "cash in hand" after factoring contributions and campaign expenses from the most recent filing period.

The Exterior and Interior Infrastructure:
After selecting the site, your next concern is infrastructure. Commercial apartments with two-three rooms are best.
Each of the flats should have a balcony to enjoy leisure times with the family. Private BBQ and pool area is
important to relax with the friends. When you are evaluating the interior of the rooms, you should the check the gap
between the ceiling and the floors. The floor-to-ceiling height is always an important factor to consider.
Safety and Security Measures:
After checking the infrastructure, you should look for the security features of the building. Security always stands
a primary concern for the people living in the apartments. Each of the apartments should have a separate security
system and a locked storage shed. There should be CCTV at each turning of the building for safety purpose.
Kitchen Area and Entertainment Facilities:
If you are planning for long-term stay, then the commercial housing should have a kitchen with latest appliances.
You can cook your favorite food in your own kitchen. You do not have to waste time in purchasing food from
restaurants. Cooking becomes easier and comfortable when you have all the appliances in your kitchen. At last, you
should look for the entertainment facilities. There should be HD television and music systems inside the living
rooms to make your stay luxurious.

Florida or the casinos in Las Vegas, it's no problem with all of the bargain travel sites that have cropped up these days.
Before I discovered these online travel agents and figured out how to save money on travel, I was almost ready to just have a "staycation"
instead and not travel anywhere at all. What with the high price of gas and airlines nickel and diming you to death charging for checked
baggage and meals, it almost seems like more effort than it is worth sometimes, doesn't it?
Anyway, there are many online travel agencies to choose from where you will find cheap travel deals. Just to name a few there are Hotwire,
Kayak, Cheaptickets, Orbitz, Travelocity, Expedia, Priceline, Travelzoo, Cheapflights, Cheapoair, and Farecast. This is not even taking
into consideration several sites that offer deals on last-minute travel.
Compare and Contrast:
You should start by visiting a hotel price comparison site such as trivago. Such sites are great places to look up a certain hotel, or
hotels in a particular area and then make comparisons on which site will offer you the best deals for that time you plan on visiting that
particular place. Another good site is TripAdvisor, it – apart from a ton of reviews and other useful stuff – shows you which sites will
offer what prices. It will then directly link you to that site so you may quickly book a deal you like.
trivago.com hotels
Some hotel owners deem it wise to make some profit than none hence their booking sites offer an auction service in which the customer can
bit on a room in a particular hotel. This is beneficial for both the owner and the customer, the latter gets a discount and the former
makes a profit. Search for these if you can on trivago.
For those who allow a little more leeway on where and when they want to go on their vacation, daily deals and last minute deals can offer
amazing options. Other sites include 'dealofthedayholidays'. Here you can find really good holiday deals available from a variety of
It's common to be distracted or tired when you're traveling and staying in hotels. In this situation, you could be
at risk for danger and crime. Keep your wits about you and maintain a heightened awareness of your environment for
optimal safety while you are away from home.
Choosing a Location
Research the area before you book a room anywhere to ensure that you choose a safe location. Local crime and natural
disasters are security issues that contribute to the overall safety of a location. Consider the security of the city
and even the country, if you are traveling internationally. In some areas, tourists are common targets. Some
neighborhoods, cities, and countries are safer than others so investigate crime rates of any area you consider
staying in.
Security Measures
Some hotels take specific measures to increase security for guests. A front desk with employees staffing it during
all hours of the day and night can increase safety while security guards patrolling the area are another measure
that companies can take to create a safe environment for guests. Ask about surveillance cameras mounted at various
locations, both outside and inside the premises. Certain areas of the premises should be locked and off limits
without the use of a guest key.
You can use a hotel booking network like this to make your reservations. Alternatively, you can book your hotel

Holidays are supposed to be fun and exciting. The experience you have at the end of it all will however, largely
depend on the choice you make for the holidays. Resorts are some of the best you can choose for a quiet but exciting
holiday. The resorts differ in size, but come with everything that you need to meet with any holiday expectations
you have. The most important part of making your holiday memorable is making the right choice with the resort.
Understand the resort types and choose the best
The fact is there are different types of holiday resorts. The most common include ski resorts, beach resorts, golf
resorts, spa resorts and even family resorts. The names suggest the kind of vacation you stand to enjoy from the
resort making it possible to match the resort with the holiday you have been craving for. Know what kind of holiday
you wish to enjoy and then choose a resort type that will offer you nothing short of what you deserve.
Choose a destination and resort
priceline vs airwinner
After you already know which type of resort you are looking for the holidays, the next step should be to select the
perfect destination. Different destinations are famed for different resort holidays so check to see which is best
for what you have in mind. The next step should be a research to see the resort options you have in the destination
before making the final decision and making reservations for the holidays.
Food Rules
One of the perks of vacation rentals is being able to cook your own meals. Food rules are usually talked about ahead
of time between the guest and home owner, but typically what you will find in the refrigerator are staples to cook
with, like vegetable oil spices.
Be Courteous
It's a good idea to put all the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and make sure the place looks as clean as you found
it. Remember that it is not a hotel room. It's someone's home.
Have Your Say
If you had a good experience, leave a positive review on the vacation rental site so it will help them get
additional visitors. It's more valuable than a "thank you."
Some other dos and don'ts:
• Don't: spend your entire vacation in the rental. No matter how great you think it is.
• Do: Get out and visit your surroundings. If it's woodsy, go for hikes and explore. If it's urban, go about it on
• Don't: Show up unprepared for your vacation.
• Do: Plan ahead by checking out what you rental includes. And what it doesn't include. While most do some with
linens, Wi-Fi or other things that you may consider essential, it is not smart to assume that every home works the
same way.
• Don't: Sign the owner or manager's rental agreement without reading all of it.
• Do: Take a look at the fine print and make sue you understand the terms of your rental before booking.
For people who are craving a serious break from their normally stressful life, there are packages that are all about

holiday to celebrate their romance will find everything from amazing honeymoon packages to cheeky couple's weekend
Besides the romantic setting, they can take advantage of offers such as sumptuous picnic hampers and chocolate
fondue platters. Whether they have been married a long time or have just embarked upon a relationship, they can be
certain that these romantic packages will draw them closer to each other and give them a memorable vacation.
how to fly with spirit
A holiday is never complete without the right accommodation. This is an important aspect to consider since it can
determine how comfortable you end up feeling throughout the holiday. Your accommodation can also determine how
relaxing your holiday turns out to be. Hotels are the most popular when it comes to holiday accommodation. Luckily,
holiday destinations have the hotels in plenty. Your homework will be to choose one that meets the holiday
expectations you have.
1. Go through hotel reviews. They work effectively in letting you know what to expect from the hotel you are
settling for. There are sites dedicated to comparing holiday accommodations and from such you can gather as much as
possible on your hotel. You also get to know of experiences from customers who have been to the hotel for holidays.
Making your choice is easy with such reviews.

2. Check the onsite facilities. These facilities will determine the overall convenience and experience you have
while at the hotel. The choice should match your preferences. For instance, if you love swimming you should consider
a hotel that has a pool at your disposal. The same goes for other facilities such as golf course, restaurant and
Secondly, choose your flights carefully, and let it be known that you are flexible, particularly if you are
considering and upgrade. You can also save money by taking alternate routes – they may take a little longer but you
may get better value. Taking this direction means that you are shaping your travel around the airline's programs.
phoenix flights
Thirdly, when traveling on budget airlines, take a snack and purchase a drink at the airport. You will know what you
are eating and it will be good! Make sure that your cabin bag (and your check-in bag) comply with the airlines
requirements. However, do take the items that make 'congested flying' a little more comfortable, like noise-
cancelling earphones, eye mask and small pillow.
book cheap flights
It is unlikely that the airline will ask you how they can serve you better. During these changing times. It is far
better for you to understand that system and take advantage of any gaps. Nevertheless, thorough planning is a great
start and a discussion with your travel advisor may also provide a few extra hints. Happy traveling on the new
improved airplanes.
How to book your travel
Before planning to travel abroad, a very important thing is to buy flight tickets. Options for purchasing
international flights are plenty making it hard for you to know if you are getting the best deal.
1. So you may visit a particular airline's website, search for fares and book international tickets using frequent
flier program directly from the airline.
best deals from aerlingus
2. Use airfare aggregator to compare and get best available fares over a long period of time.
3. For highly complicated travel plans like many different continents in haphazard order along with stay, local
travel, sightseeing and etc., do consult a travel agency.
Some other important aspects
1. Check on all required travel documents before you start, keep a set of photocopies of all the journey documents
at home to help you if originals are lost or stolen.
2. Prepare yourself to handle money overseas and learn about the travel alerts and warnings for the destination you
are travelling to. Even learn about the local customs and laws.

All these are only a few pointers among the elaborate guidelines available over the internet and in guide books
which you must know before you travel abroad to help you be tension free and enjoy your trip thoroughly.
Tactic Two – Upgrades For Regular Frequent Flyers:
Frequent flyers that stay loyal with one airline usually collect a lot of air miles on every flight with the same
airline. Usually airlines offer a lot of cool benefits to those travelers who frequently fly with them. Hence these
airlines, upgrade their loyal customers to business class for free without any charges.
united airlines flights to bangkok
The higher number of miles you have and the higher number of your traveling is with the airline the more chance you
have for the upgrade. The best way to know about cabin upgrades is by calling the airline and asking them about
whether they will be starting the cabin upgrades, the worst answer they can give is a "No", so that's alright taking
a chance won't cost you anything.
Tactic Three – Dress To Influence:
In addition to the tactic I first told, add this one as well your overall dressing has a huge impact on getting you
a business upgrade. It is just like going for a job interview, your overall appearance is very important for making
an impression that you should be considered for the job or not. Similarly, if you are dressed in a professional
manner then you air attendant will take you seriously for a business class upgrade. Again, this is not guaranteed
method but can improve your chances for the upgrade.

my opinion, this is a golden question with absolutely no 100% proper answers. Here are some tips which I consider
when I'm booking my flight and these tips I have learned from my previous experiences.
Which Is The Right Day For Booking?

Wednesdays and Saturdays. The most popular days for flying are Fridays and Sundays, one should not only consider the

these two time durations are best for flying and even getting a ticket at an economical price.
India emerged as a significant market in the international aviation industry along with China, Brazil and Japan.
Hence, global operators are looking forward to increase their international flight booking options to and from India
in order to capitalise the opportunity. The international sales director of Austrian Airlines recently said that the
Indian aviation market is highly competitive and growing at a fast pace.

He also added that the company is looking forward to corner a larger share of the Indian market by offering unique
products and services. India is one of the largest markets for the carrier and hence, it has a know-how of
challenges and competitions in the market.
Austrian Airlines
The national airline of Austria, Austrian Airlines is often referred as Austrian. It is a subsidiary of the
Lufthansa Group and has its headquarters at Vienna International Airport. This airport is also the primary hub of
the carrier, and most of its operations are monitored from here. Currently, the carrier serves around 130 domestic
and international destinations all across the globe.

Economy Classes. This ensures that the carrier offers top-notch facilities to passengers during the journey. People
who are looking forward to a similar experience can also opt for Malaysia Airlines booking. This carrier has been

High Demand on International Routes

Apart from Jet Airways, other carriers of the country also added more options in their international flight
schedules. Recently, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) asked Indian airlines to operate more overseas flights.
Considering the significant rise in the international passenger traffic in the past few months, these additions can
prove to be quite lucrative for airlines. The director of the organisation suggested IndiGo, SpiceJet and Jet
Airways that it can be a viable business for them. Not only India, other countries are also promoting global
operations. For instance, new services have been added in the Thai Airways flight schedule as well.
Well-Equipped Airports
Apart from a lucrative business, these additions are also a result of the improved amenities and services at
airports. A number of terminals recently underwent through renovations and many changes. The government also
announced constructions of many new ones in the country with the world class facilities.

Once you have locked in the best holiday destination and found a great hotel to stay at, the next thing that should
bother you is the most convenient means of transport. Rather than having to wait for bus or train or drive a car all
the way on your own, having a rental car can give you a huge advantage. It's definitely a better idea to hire a taxi
for entire trip than paying for a taxi every time you want to go somewhere.

The biggest benefit for many travelers is not having to rely on public transport. While certain areas enjoy
fantastic public transport networks and services, it can cause you to work according to their time table, cutting
short an excursion or forcing you to only leave the hotel at a set time, not offering you the ability to work to
your own schedule. In addition to this, depending on how much exploring you want to do, car hire services can work
out cheaper than public transport, reducing your travel expenses considerably.
Most of the car hire services come with break down cover included. This can be a huge benefit when traveling in a
foreign country. In the event the vehicle breaks down, the company provides you with a number you can call who will
arrive and assist you. In this type of situation, most companies will provide you with a replacement vehicle at no
additional cost.
Of course the advantage to choosing a car hire service is that all the vehicles available are maintained and
serviced to a high standard, ensuring the vehicle you drive away in is safe.

the duration you need the car, so you know what you will have to pay and can easily incorporate that into your
travel budget.

larger islands in Fiji. Or, if you don't want to deal with all of that gear, simply go snorkeling – with more than

breathtaking scenery. And, if you get tired of water sports, never fear, there are still plenty of things to do. For

yacht will get to you all of those things, no matter what your reason for coming to this tropical paradise.

Like many of you, binding is not my favorite part of the quilting process. I'm thinking about purchasing a machine binding foot: http://www.amazon.com/Distinctive-Bi...ds=binder+foot
This is video showing how to use one:
Do you have experience with such a foot? Was it a generic foot or was it specific to your make of machine? (I'll have to use a generic.) Do you like how it works? Does it handle the width of a quilt binding strip? Does it handle the depth of the quilt sandwich? Does it work with a variety of quilt battings, or just the thinner ones? Any tips about using it?
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Bush's intentions to run for statewide office when he filed paperwork with the Texas Ethics Commission in November, which was followed by a fundraising letter sent soon after by his father, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, that indicated his son would run for Texas Land Commissioner.
A day before the beginning of the 83rd Legislative Session, the nephew of former President George W. Bush was shielded from an interview on the steps of the Capitol by spokeswoman Nelda Carrizales, who said Bush was not answering questions Monday and that he hasn't made any decision about running for office.

As the calendar year rolls over and the harsh winter winds gain ferocity, there is one thing that keeps me going…propels me forward towards the impending spring that seems ever so far away…warms my bones and heart when nothing else can thaw the freeze…BARLEYWINE! The mother of all beers. The demolisher of livers. My good friend that never fails to deliver.
To quote the late, great Michael Jackson, "Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater." Oh wait, wrong MJ. Try this one — "This is very distinctive, with an earthy hoppiness, a wineyness, lots of fruit and toffee flavours." Mr. Jackson, as always, produced a precise and concise summary of the style with that sentence, though his description is by no means the end all be all of the style, especially when some of the more experimental craft breweries get their creative juices flowing. Many of my personal favorite examples of the style are more like uber-balanced imperial IPAs. You will also find versions that have been barrel aged or that resemble more of an imperial stout or eisbock. The possibilities are endless with barleywine, and that why I love them so.
Last year I got my own creative juices a flowin' in my expression of deep admiration for the style. In case you missed it, follow this link.
Though the two local, not to be missed, mega-celebrations of barleywine are still about a month and a half to two months away [Beveridge Place Pub's Bacchanal (date yet to be set) and Brouwer's Hard Liver (March 12th)], the good folks at Pike Pub & Brewery are celebrating the season with the annual vertical tasting of Old Bawdy (96 on Rate Beer). Check out the details below.
of Rare Archived Vintages
DATE: Sunday, January 30, 2011
LOCATION: The Museum Room, Pike Brewing Company
1415 1st Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101
COST: $20 with RSVP by January 29th
$25 at the door
PIKE PUB CLUB and WABL members: $15 (passport required)
RSVP: Tara 206.812.6604
Old Bawdy Barley Wine is a rich, concentrated elixir that is best served as a digestive, or to
accompany lusty cheese, artisan bread, fruit (fresh or dried) and nuts, or at the end of the meal.
Fine Barley Wines, when properly cellared, can be aged. Old Bawdy develops in complexity as it
matures, and can be laid down for up to 10 years.
Seattle's history of lusty beer dates to pioneer days when the local population was made up
primarily of men. Bawdy houses abounded and by the time naughty Nellie Curtis established
the La Salle Hotel, this "city on the sound" reverberated with the echoes of fun and frolic.
The La Salle, where Pike Brewery was established in 1989, was the last of Seattle's infamous
"bawdy houses."Pike's Old Bawdy Vertical Tasting is an annual toast to commemorate
Nellie Curtis and her "ladies of pleasure."

- Style: IPA brewed with apricots
- Bitterness: 50 IBU
- Malts: Pilsner, Crystal
- Hops: Not provided
- Dry Hops: Amarillo
- Sampled: 12 oz. bottle
- Price: $15.54 (six-pack equivalent) at grocery store
Description: "Aprihop is our fruit beer for hopheads! It is an American IPA brewed with Pilsner and Crystal malts massively hopped in in the continuous fashion. The flavor is complemented by the addition of Apricots. After fermentation the beer is dry hopped with irresponsible amounts of Amarillo hops. The beer is hoppy in the aroma with the apricots playing a supporting complimentary role. The flavor is rich with late hop flavors and its bitterness is tempered by just the right amount of malt sweetness and fruity undertones from the apricots." — Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
Random thoughts: I tasted Dogfish Head's Punkin' Ale last fall. I liked it, but wanted a stronger pumpkin flavor. I hope this delivers the apricots. Aprihop is a seasonal available through May. This is part of my IPAs Gone Wild! series.
The tasting: Deep orange-amber in color, very hazy, with a white head that dissipated slowly. It's a beautiful color. Aroma of citrus, caramel, and faint apricot. Aprihop's flavor starts with a solid dose of caramel malt that reminds me of a Scottish Ale. After that, I noticed sweet malt followed by citrus and piney hops. It's medium bodied, nicely carbonated (medium), and the hops give it a slightly sticky mouth feel. It finishes with sweet malt and citrus hop bitterness. Overall, it's very well-balanced.
Rating: 3 star. Good. I would drink this again if someone gives it to me. Aprihop is a very nice IPA. I really liked its solid caramel malt flavor, which is unusual in an IPA. However, if I didn't read the description, I would not have noticed the apricots in aroma or flavor. So I have the same issue with Aprihop that I had with Punkin' Ale—I prefer a stronger presence of the specialty ingredient. That said, it's a keeper.
Have you tried Aprihop or any other Dogfish Head beers?

After over 2 years of thinking about making an Irish Papergirl, I have finally decided to make a move and bring Papergirl Dublin into the world.
So far, nothing is concrete. Hoping to have the exhibition and Aktion Day in June or July 2012.
There is a Tumblog, a Twitter and a Facebook page for Papergirl Dublin, if you want to follow any of them it would be great.
A submission address and deadline will be set in the next few weeks, so do check back.
For now, I'll leave you with the Papergirl Dublin poster:

The inaugural Front Porch Festival, a celebration of Alabama food, spirits and music, is headed to the Back Forty Beer Company.
The inaugural Front Porch Festival, a celebration of Alabama food, spirits and music, is headed to the Back Forty Beer Company.
The festival will be from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. March 31. Doors will open at 12:30 p.m., said Brad Wilson, sales manager of the company at 200 N. Sixth St.
"The Front Porch Festival is a celebration of all things local and unique to our great state," Wilson said.
This is the first of several Front Porch Festivals that will take place throughout the state.
Admission will be $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Children 12 and younger will get in free.
The admission will include a one-year membership in The Front Porch Revival, a cold pint of Back Forty Beer Company beer and food. Admission also will include six 6-ounce samples of Back Forty Beer. There will be music throughout the day, with Ben Sutton, Sam Lewis and other local bands performing.
"The Front Porch Revival is a group devoted to the promotion of those who craft unique food, drink, art and literature with a clear Alabama identity," according to information provided about the event.
Back Forty also is hosting a concert by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit at 7:30 p.m. March 31, with admission to the concert included in the festival admission. Sutton and Lewis will be opening for Isbell, with music beginning at 5 p.m.
Isbell is a native of Muscle Shoals and has been touring overseas. His latest album is "Here We Rest."
His music was described by National Public Radio as "country soul gumbo."
"We are very excited to get Jason here, as he has just finished a tour of Australia," Wilson said.
Isbell and his band will be touring the United States and Europe this year, opening for Ryan Adams.
Wilson said food at the festival will include three whole hogs, crawfish, boudain, homemade chicken sausage, farm-fresh corn and "the kind of surprises professional chefs like to dream up on the spot."
The food is part of what Wilson called "the evolving world of slow, sustainable, locally sourced cuisine."
He said the idea for the Front Porch Festival grew out of an event called "Chefs to the Rescue" that took place last year at the Auburn University Hotel and Conference Center to help with tornado relief. It featured several Alabama-based chefs creating special dishes.
That event was a big success, Wilson said, and as a result, the Front Porch Revival organization was established to put on three or four large events throughout the state.
"This is basically the coming out party — the debut for the Front Porch Revival," he said.
The organization has a number of founding members, but other artists can join.
"If you're doing something that is highlighting the culture that we want to preserve in Alabama, we want you to be a part of this group," Wilson said.
That includes musicians, clothing designers, writers, chefs and others.
"This is going to be about as down home and front porch as it gets," he said. "It's to revive the idea of supper in the South."
Wilson said craft beers, such as those brewed by Back Forty, have been embraced by chefs involved in the "locally sourced, sustainable, farm-fresh movement." He said that makes for a good partnership with Back Forty Beer Company.
Chefs participating:
• David Bancroft is the former executive chef and founder of Amsterdam Caf� in Auburn. He is opening a restaurant at the Auburn University Club.
• Graham Hage is the executive chef at Zazu Gastropub in Auburn.
• Leonardo Maurelli III is the banquet chef at the Auburn Hotel and Conference Center and was Alabama Restaurant Association Chef of the Year.
• Rob McDaniel is the chef at SpringHouse Restaurant on Lake Martin in Alexander City.
Maurelli will prepare a Cuban-style whole hog cooked in a La Caja China traditional Chinese hot box, Wilson said.
McDaniel will prepare crawfish with homemade boudain and chicken sausage. The dish is a "crawfish boil taken up a notch, the way McDaniel cooks," according to Wilson. McDaniel recently served as a sous chef for Chris Hastings on the Food Network's "Iron Chef America." The team defeated chef Bobby Flay.
Bancroft also will roast a whole hog as part of a full-service pork taco bar, and Hage will prepare several "eclectic" pork dishes, Wilson said.
The festival also will feature small, family-run Alabama businesses, including artisan goat cheeses from Belle Chevre Creamery and relishes and pickles from Wickles Pickles.
Tickets are available at the Back Forty Tap Room and online at www.brownpapertickets.com.
