I so enjoy giving Hampton Inn and Holiday Inns 5 stars because that means they did something exceptional, and in this case it is all about the service.
1. The staff was great. The folks making breakfast were personable and made us feel welcome. The front desk were helpful. I had an incident and needed maintenance and they were there immediately to rectify the situation. Whoever is the training manager at this Hampton Inn did a great job.
2. I liked this pool quite a bit. It was just the right size to do laps or play around in with my son. It was also very clean.
3. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the airport and within 5-10 minutes of the major shopping and entertainment hubs of Evansville.
4. The price was just right.
5. The rooms were updated and a great size and most importantly, felt very clean.
1. The only con, which is not enough to lower the star count because of the service, is that the shape of the hotel is awkward and you could have a very long walk to the lobby area if you are in the back, which is really the side. It was just an odd layout.
Overall, I of course recommend this hotel.

text: Home > Wowie not using wife's death to revive career ABS-CBN News Posted at May 05 2014 10:58 AM | Updated as of Oct 11 2016 06:30 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn < MANILA – Former actor Wowie De Guzman denied accusations that he is using his wife's death to revive his showbiz career. In an interview with "Buzz ng Bayan" on Sunday, De Guzman said he is simply granting interviews since a lot of people have been asking about him following the passing of his wife, Sheryl Ann Reyes. "Hindi naman po ako nanghihingi ng interview. Actually nakikiusap sila sa akin, pinagbibigyan ko lang because I feel na miyembro pa rin naman ako ng industriya kahit hindi na ako ganun ka-visible sa TV," he said. De Guzman continued saying "karapatan naman siguro na malaman kung anong nangyari kasi ang daming nagtatanong." Two weeks ago, Reyes died after taking a muscle pain reliever and months of having erratic blood pressure, the ex-actor had said. The "Mara Clara" actor said he could not help but blame himself for what happened because he believes he could have done something to prevent his wife's death. "'Yung wife ko kasi medyo mataray sa akin parati. Pero at that time kasi, nung tumataas 'yung blood pressure niya, iniiwasan ko makipagtalo sa kanya because baka nga tumaas. After niya manganak, nung nakita ko 'yung hirap niya, parang lumaki lalo 'yung respeto ko sa kanya because ang hirap pala maging ina. Sabi ko lahat ng gusto mo ibibigay ko, lahat gagawin ko para sa kanya. Siguro kung pinilit ko siya na mag-check up siya, siguro pwedeng nalaman namin kung ano yung nangyayari sa kanya," he said. De Guzman's wife was laid to rest last Saturday.

Swiss carbon tax moves closer to launch
The Swiss government has adopted draft rules on a tax on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels. It launched the policy in March, alongside a voluntary climate levy on road fuels (EED 30/03/05). One of two new ordinances governs the tax, set to cost SFr35 (€23) per tonne of CO2. The second sets out rules under which enterprises can claim for emission reductions made abroad. The federal council has also written a message to parliament asking it to approve the CO2 tax.

Duluth, GA (PressExposure) October 29, 2009 -- Concrete polishing is considered the best flooring investment when you are planning to update your concrete floors. The smoothness and attractive looks of the floor creates a certain sense of pride to employees. After polishing the concrete, you can add a tinge of new color to the surface. Polishing of concrete floors is permanent and does not end up peeling or flaking like many coatings on the market. Polished floors are considered a great solution for commercial buildings, warehouses and industrial facilities, since it provides the ultimate finish at a fraction of the price.
Depending on the color that you have selected, we at Rockcreteusa polish and transform your cemented concrete floor into a beautiful and smooth surface. The best part is that you don't have to use a tile or any other coating. General industry trends require that the concrete floors must be polished with a sequence of disks ending with 1800-3500 grit. At this level, the cemented concrete floors exhibit a glossy sheen with high reflectivity.
At Rockcreteusa we have a dedicated team ready to address your concrete floor polishing needs.

Alumni »Athletic Hall of Fame
Athletic letters are awards given to students at the varsity, junior varsity and intermediate levels of every interscholastic sport. Although each sport has its own requirements to be fulfilled before a letter is awarded, the letter winners are generally chosen for their ability and participation in the sport.
Punahou traditionally awards the school letter "O" to boys who achieve the status of letterman. This practice was begun when Punahou was known as Oahu College and has continued although the name of the school has changed. Girls who achieve letter status receive the letter "P."
An individual award is presented for each sport honoring the most inspirational athlete. Other awards include:
Scholar Athlete Achievement Awards go to seniors who earn at least a 3.33 cumulative GPA, a minimum of three Punahou varsity sports letters spanning at least two school years, one of which must be earned in the senior year, and receive no citizenship grade below B during their junior and senior years.
Recognizes dedication and a long-time commitment to athletics. Athletes must earn three varsity letters in one sport or four or more varsity letters in two or more sports.
Every year, the O-Men and Pa`ani organizations jointly present an Athlete of the Year award to a boy and girl from each Academy grade level. These awards are:
The honor, initiated in 1957, is awarded to the graduating seniors (male and female) who have contributed the most to Punahou athletics by athletic achievement and sportsmanship during their high school careers, as determined by the school coaching staff.
A koa bowl presented in 1947 by the Class of 1938 in memory of their classmates, Robert A. McEldowney and Gwynn Matthias, casualties of World War II, goes to the boy and girl making the best contributions in citizenship, scholarship and athletics in the junior class. The winners' names are engraved on this perpetual trophy, and each winner receives an individual koa bowl.
This award, started in 1992, recognizes the grade 10 girl athlete and grade 10 boy athlete who have demonstrated "ability, team spirit, dedication and support of others."
The Billy Weaver Memorial Trophy was initiated in 1959 by the Class of 1962 and is dedicated to Billy Weaver, "whose warm friendship and honest ways have won the love and respect of all who knew him." The trophy perpetuating his memory is awarded each year to the outstanding freshman athlete - sportsman and sportswoman.
The Hawai`i High School Hall of Honor was established in 1982 by Nissan Motors to recognize "athletic excellence and accomplishments of Hawai`i's high school athletes." In 2004, the Hawai`i High School Athletic Association Foundation assumed responsibility to continue this prestigious tradition.
Each year, 12 student athletes are selected for induction into the Hall of Honor by an independent selection committee. Each honored student athlete also receives a $2,000 college scholarship.
Students in the State of Hawai`i who are participating in any sport(s) approved by the Hawai'i High School Athletic Association, and who are completing their senior year of high school, are eligible for consideration.
Athletic achievement is given primary consideration by the selection committee. Other factors considered include:
Designed in 1995 by members of Punahou's two primary athletic booster groups, the Punahou O-Men and the Na Wahine Pa`ani O Punahou, the Hall of Champions celebrates Punahou's numerous athletic victories and championships.
Dedicated on May 17, 1996, the mission of the hall is "to record the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) and Hawai`i High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) varsity championships achieved by the student athletes of Punahou and to perpetuate Punahou's athletic tradition by honoring past champions and inspiring present and future participants."
Residing in the Thurston PE Center, the hall includes more than 30 koa plaques representing the sports in which Punahou participates, and a variety of pictures of both past and present Punahou athletes and teams. Each plaque contains a short narrative of the sport's history and bronze championship labels, which list the year of the league and state victories along with the head coach's name.
A short ceremony is held each spring to recognize that year's champions and to update the hall. Team captains, head coaches, parents and school representatives take part in the ceremony, after which people are invited to tour the hall and share in the successes of Punahou's teams.

This is one of my go-to favorite recipes, from my most recent cookbook, FOOD LOVE. Why oh why do I love it so? Because lumpia are super-duper light and healthy, yet SO FUN to eat!
I recently made this recipe in my online Cooking Club, and it was a blast! But don't worry if you're not a member - you can use this recipe, or if you're like me and prefer SEEING things done and being SHOWN, you can still join the group and catch the replay. The online Cooking Club was my answer to the "I want to take your cooking classes, but I can't attend them in person" problem I hear fairly often. Plus, I wanted to make it affordable, and of course, doing things in a group is a great (and fun!) way to do that. To see what we're cooking up, visit this page.
OK, now for the LUMPIA!!! My daughter Alethea and I created this recipe together as a fun alternative to fresh spring rolls. We've purposely kept the filling crazy-simple both for ease and kid-friendliness. However, you can change them up with the addition of shiitake mushrooms, rice noodles, or green onions in the filling.
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 large cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 teaspoons minced ginger root
2 cups finely chopped green cabbage
1 cup grated carrots
½ cup finely chopped kale (de-stemmed)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
8 rice paper wraps
Brushing Up: 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1. Heat a wok or sauté pan over medium heat and add the two teaspoons toasted sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about thirty seconds, then add the cabbage, carrots, kale, and salt. Stir and cook for another two minutes or so, stirring often, just until the cabbage is lightly wilted. Remove from heat. Preheat your oven to 400° F.
2. Soak each rice paper wrap in water for a few seconds. Place on a flat surface and put ¼ cup of the veggie filling in the middle. Fold the bottom of the wrap up over the filling, then fold the sides in. Next, roll all the way up. Basically, you just made a tiny Asian burrito. Do this seven more times.
3. Spray or brush a baking sheet lightly with oil. Place the wraps on the sheet (don't let them touch each other). Brush the outsides of each wrap evenly with the one teaspoon of toasted sesame oil. Bake for ten minutes, then gently flip over. Bake for another ten minutes. (NOTE: I "bake" these in my air fryer set at 400 for ten minutes.) Serve with the sauce of your choice and enjoy!
Makes 8 Lumpia (serves 4); GF/Green (according to the health guidelines in my Be Radiant program and cookbooks)
Tip: We store the filling in an airtight container in the fridge (often making up a double batch) - that way, we can bake Lumpia anytime!

Leah Abraham opened her cafe on Lenox Avenue in 2001 with a track record in business and a determination to chalk up another success. It never occurred to her to court the local elected officials and business and church leaders — the Harlem establishment — and get their blessing before she opened her door.
"I never felt that I had to ask for permission or that I had to wait my turn," said Ms. Abraham, owner of Settepani, a cafe and restaurant on Lenox Avenue near West 120th Street. "I have done whatever I wanted to do despite anyone's blessing."
She soon realized, though, that her approach "is very different than the way the old guard looks at doing business in Harlem."
And so nearly 10 years later, she said, business is good, but local leaders like Representative Charles B. Rangel, whose office is nearby, have yet to hold a meeting or an event in her restaurant.
"If he has an event, he'll have it at Sylvia's," she said. "That's the power that they have."Continue reading the main story
Before million-dollar condominiums, fancy boutiques and coffee shops began to sprout along Lenox Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard, Harlem was a struggling neighborhood of mom-and-pop shops, soul food restaurants and other small businesses that operated largely with a small-town exclusivity that is rarely replicated in other parts of the city.
Business deals were brokered over meals at places like Sylvia's or in the pews of black churches, where local elected officials and other community leaders offered their blessings. It was there that new owners established relationships that often brought in business, as well as grants and financing.
Senior business owners said the meetings were as much about making intentions known as they were about showing respect — "kissing the rings," many said.
"There were people in the community that you had to sell your ideas to: the politicians, the business organizations and churches, the nonprofit organizations," said Londel Davis Sr., a former police officer who opened his first business, a deli, in 1983 and Londel's, a bar and restaurant on Frederick Douglass Boulevard near 140th Street, in 1994. "They would support you with their business, and in return you supported them however you could."
But with Harlem's gentrification has come an unintended side effect: tensions between the neighborhood's established business and political class and new business owners, some of whom view the old ways as patrimonial sentiment that is obsolete.
The schism seems to be as much about the old guard's slowly losing its grip on power as it is about a perceived lack of respect shown by newcomers — a tension that many have said also exists in local politics.
Some say the rift is another indication of how much Harlem is changing.
"Today, I think instead of Harlem being viewed as a community, as a village, it is viewed as just another" business venture, said Walter J. Edwards, who opened his first business, a dry cleaner, in 1960, and later Full Spectrum, a real estate development company. "But how will those that opened the door be protected and taken care of?"
The old guard is still very active and, for the most part, still holds access to the purse strings to government loans and grants. At the top of the power heap is the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, which has had a presence in the neighborhood for 114 years.
The chamber, as well as other business associations, including the Harlem Business Alliance, where Mr. Edwards is the chairman, have long-established relationships with Harlem's older political leaders.
Those groups have long been vehicles for "money coming in and power," which were scarce in times when banks and other institutions did not widely lend to blacks, said Van DeWard Woods, president of Sylvia's restaurant and the son of its matriarch, Sylvia Woods.
In contrast, many of the new business owners come in better financed and operate with a casual indifference for neighborhood rituals. They say they are more concerned with handling their business than coddling egos.
Nikoa Evans-Hendricks, an owner of N Boutique on Lenox Avenue, which opened in 2005, said that she, like many of the "young and progressive" business owners, respected those who came before them, but that the climate was right for fresh blood and ideas.
"The old guard doesn't have as much influence on the new guard," Ms. Evans-Hendricks said. "There isn't that same sense of indebtedness."
Longtime business owners argue that respect is due because it was their sacrifices that led to the gentrified Harlem the newcomers now enjoy.
"They have a lot of fear, fear of 'we've put up these fights and you don't know our fight,' " said Ms. Abraham, who is something of a bridge between the old and new generations, and who is both admired and resented as a pioneer of the new Harlem. "They have a sense of ownership, that this was their Harlem."
Eugene Giscombe, who opened a real estate business in 1982, described the scene as very "clubby" in the 1970s and '80s, but doors were opened for young people who "wanted to go places and get somewhere in life."
He said the old relationships were a necessity. For instance, he said, new business owners often needed politicians or prominent businesspeople to vouch for loans and rental agreements and to secure permits and licenses.
"I guess because things were so tough on us years ago that we looked inward to ourselves for support and encouragement and the ability to get things done through each other," Mr. Giscombe said. "Back then we needed all the help we could get, and we looked around and we knew our neighbors and we went to them for support."
Mr. Davis, owner of Londel's, said, "We survived on the strength of the relationships that we built over the years."
Many of the newcomers said that their independence did not come without consequences: Harlem's institutions continue to support the businesses that came up the traditional way.
Both new and old Harlemites list businesses that they say opened with fanfare, but without local involvement. Word was spread that they were not interested in longtime Harlem residents or their patronage, the stories go, and eventually the businesses were forced to shut their doors.
Councilwoman Inez E. Dickens, whose district includes Harlem and whose family has operated businesses there for over half a century, cites her own support for a restaurant on Fifth Avenue near 116th Street. She said she held a couple of meetings there and invited colleagues to do the same. But the owners failed to welcome them, she said, and business dried up. The restaurant has since closed.
"The reality is that if you don't do it, they will let it be known that you didn't come into the community the right way," Ms. Evans-Hendricks, of N Boutique, said. "You will most certainly be shunned."
Some of the new business owners say they have turned to Mr. Edwards's Harlem Business Alliance for advice. Others said, though, that the large, historic business associations, particularly the chamber, were too bureaucratic and slow-moving for the rapidly changing landscape.
The older institutions also appear to be focused on the large-scale development going on in Harlem, like the addition of Target, Applebee's and upscale hotels and cultural centers.
"Being a member of one of these organizations in and of itself doesn't guarantee success," said Karl Franz Williams, owner of 67 Orange Street, a bar, and Society Coffee, a coffee shop, both of which opened within the past three years. "In the past maybe it was that way, that you couldn't be successful without being a member, but that obviously is not the case anymore."
A group of mostly newer Harlem business owners including Ms. Abraham, Ms. Evans-Hendricks and Mr. Williams last year formed Harlem Park to Park, a business alliance in south Harlem. The organization, with a mix of more than 50 old and new businesses, formed to offer an alternative to the established networks.
Councilwoman Dickens said there were risks in abandoning the old conventions.
"The new people come in and try to do business the way they would in some other place," she said, "without any understanding of the culture here, and so many of them fail because they don't extend themselves in the community."
"They come in with great ideas and beautiful places that they invested their money in to build," she added, "beautiful commercial storefronts, bars, restaurants, but there's not enough of the new people coming in yet today to keep them alive."
"Unless they are able to survive for another 10 years," she said, "they will have to introduce themselves to not just the new who are coming in, but to those of us that have been here all along."Continue reading the main story

* OGX estimates Cozumel prospect has 270 mln bbls oil, gas
* Four other prospects may yield 927 mln boe - OGX
* OGX does not yet need $1 bln Batista share-buy offer
By Jeb Blount
RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 9 (Reuters) - OGX Petroleo e Gas SA , Brazil's second-largest oil company by market value, said on Friday that it and its partner, Norway's Maersk Oil, expect to recover about a billion barrels of oil and natural gas from two offshore oil blocks in Brazil.
The Cozumel, Tulum and Cancun prospects in the BM-C-37 block and Viedma and Cotopaxi prospects in the neighboring BM-C-38 block hold 861 million to 1.19 billion barrels of recoverable oil and natural gas equivalent, the company said in a presentation accompanying a conference call with investors.
If proven, it would be enough oil to supply all crude needs in the United States, the world's largest oil consumer, for nearly two months, according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy and Reuters.
OGX owns 70 percent of the blocks and Maersk Oil, a unit of Denmark's Maersk Group. OGX's share of the oil would be 603 million to 837 million boe, the statement said.
"The most important well in our opinion should be the Viedma prospect," Pedro Medeiros, a Citibank oil and gas company analyst in Rio de Janeiro, said in a report sent to investors Friday. "A positive result from the wells is key to unlock new production systems."
Medeiros rates OGX stock "Neutral/High Risk." The OGX estimate of potential reserves in BM-C-37 and BM-C-38 is the company's first since a 2009 report by U.S. reservoir appraisal firm DeGolyer and MacNaughton, Medeiros said.
OGX has already started drilling a well on the Cozumel prospect, Chief Financial Officer Roberto Monteiro said on a conference call with investors and analysts Friday.
Tulum is expected to start drilling by year end and the three other prospects will be drilled in the first quarter of 2013, OGX said.
OGX may sublet more offshore oil drilling rigs in the first quarter of 2013, Monteiro said. He said the company has sufficient financial resources and does not need to exercise either a put option or an offer from founder Eike Batista to buy $1 billion worth of OGX stock, at the moment.
The company plans to start production from the third well of the Tubarão Azul field in December, Monteiro said. Tubarão is OGX's only producing oil field.
The company declined to say how much the well would produce. Lower-than-expected production from the first two wells has helped see OGX's share price fall by more than half since mid-June.
"A flow rate below 5,500 barrels a day would be viewed as a negative and above 7,000 barrels a day as a positive," Christopher Buck and oil company bond analysts with Barclays in New York wrote in a report sent to investors on Friday.
Tubarão Azul's first two wells produced 10,300 barrels a day in October.
OGX expects to recover 18 million to 20 million barrels of oil per well over the life of the field, Monteiro said. Tubarão Azul is OGX's first producing field and began output in January.
Tubarão Azul is believed to have about 100 million barrels of recoverable oil, Monteiro said on the call.
The Rio de Janeiro-based company said it believes the Tubarão Martelo field, also in the Campos basin, has better prospects than the Tubarão Azul field, with tests showing good results, Monteiro said. OGX expects to start producing oil from three wells in Tubarão Martelo in late 2013.
In Tubarão Martelo "everything is going good and according to our expectations," OGX production director Reinaldo Belotti said on the conference call Friday.
OGX reported on Thursday a net loss of 343.6 million reais ($168 million), after logging its first fully accountable revenues from crude oil sales.
The results were considered "benign", Buck wrote.
The yield on OGX 8.375 percent bonds due April 1, 2022 fell to 11.03 percent bid on Friday while the yield on OGX bonds due June 18, 2018 rose to 11.62 percent bid.
The company's stock rose 1.68 percent to 4.85 reais in Sao Paulo on Friday as the BM&FBovespa exchanges benchmark Bovespa index fell 0.29 percent.

Secrets of Success
My 2012 Challenges
Tuesday, January 03, 2012
For many, the new year means resolutions: I can't do this, I will do this, etc. A few years ago, I decided to ditch resolutions for challenges.
For the entire year, I would give up something--usually something that didn't positively contribute to my life/health--but something that would be a challenge to give up. One year it was liquor. Last year, it was fried foods. Sometimes, I made it; sometimes, I didn't.
The idea behind giving up something for the entire year was to test my willpower and, often, to increase my quality of life in doing so.
After the year was up, I'd integrate the vice back into my life, in the hopes that it would have less negative impact on my life as it once did.
Each year, I've tried to make the challenges progressively harder. Years ago, I tried to give up fried foods, but my second job running poker tournaments at local bars made it nearly impossible. Within a month, I dropped the challenge.
I would count this past year, however, as a success--even though there might have been a few gray areas (foods that didn't indicate that they were friend and it wasn't quite clear, etc.).
So what is my challenge this year? I actually have two.
Challenge #1: Cable. For many, especially those who see cable as a financial blackhole (which it is), this is hardly a challenge. For a DVR-addict, like myself, it is. I've already disconnected my cable and returned the box. And I'm already wondering how I'm going to spend all my time. (TBD)
Challenge #2: Chocolate. I had previous tackled this a few years ago and, for the most part, succeeded. But as I ate my way through the holidays--countless tins of cookies, candies, and cakes--I realized that chocolate has to go.
So, two days into it, I'm doing pretty well. Check back in a week.

Michu outshines Torres after Swans shock Chelsea, Rangers may quit Scotland, Man United close on £12m Zaha & Damiao surveys Spurs
Comment & analysis round-up
Quote of the day: "I was pleased with the performance and if we play like that, nine times out of 10 we will win… You analyse all these things because we lost despite the way we played and the fact we had 23 chances. We have to be more clinical in front of goal and take these chances. The goal was a goal – he was level – and the penalty and yellow card, it wasn't a yellow card." – Rafa Benitez.
Runner-up: "My big thing is getting young players in here from the local area in Liverpool. Look at the history here – Carragher, Gerrard, McManaman, Fowler and Owen. Who have been the best two English players in the Premier League in the last six 0r seven years? Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney. Both scousers, not from a million miles apart, so you are not telling me there is not top young talent out there in Liverpool. It is sexy to look at Spain and I am someone who loves working with European players. All my life I have worked with players from different parts of the world. But we mustn't forget what is on our doorstep and, for me, this is a hot-bed for footballers who have passion, hunger and incredible qualities. Bringing that through is a massive part of my job and is something we are trying to put in place." – Brendan Rodgers.
Chelsea 0 – Swansea 2
Swan foot in the final (Sun) Rafa Benitez suffered a torrent of abuse as Chelsea crashed to a humiliating Capital One Cup defeat… Angry Blues fans turned on Benitez and chairman Bruce Buck — but, incredibly, the manager claimed he was "happy" with his team.
One by one the trophies are slipping away from Chelsea (Neil Ashton, Mail) Midway through the second half, Chelsea fans in the Matthew Harding Stand started singing for Jose Mourinho. It's getting messy again. Then they screamed for Demba Ba, scorer of two on his debut in the FA Cup at Southampton on Saturday, to replace the woeful Fernando Torres. It was tempting to join in. By the end they were singing for Roberto Di Matteo, winner of the Champions League and FA Cup inside three crazy months last season… One by one the silverware is slipping away. Even the Capital One Cup appears to be beyond them after they were beaten at home in the first leg by Michael Laudrup's rhythmic Swansea side.
Danny Graham scores late as Swansea secure shock win over Chelsea (Dominic Fifield, Guardian) The money men at Capital One who chose to plough millions into sponsoring this competition presumably never saw this coming, even if they could still end up with something remarkable at Wembley next month. Swansea stand on the brink of a first major cup final after registering a victory here that had Chelsea's players wheezing in disbelief and their support in uproar, with the prospect of a showpiece against Bradford City of League Two very real. There is romance, if perhaps not ratings, to be had in that.
Michu displays cutting edge Fernando Torres is still searching for (Barney Ronay, Guardian) Torres and Michu: on current form it almost seems indelicate to make the comparison. Torres, Michu and Graham even more so given that Swansea's scorers cost £5.5m combined, or £44.5m less than Torres who, two years on from that record transfer, was making his 100th appearance for Chelsea here. It was tempting to wonder beforehand if he would perhaps celebrate with a goal, or alternatively just carry on as normal. If this seems a little unkind it was, frankly, another entirely peripheral night for Torres, who suffered the added indignity of being overshadowed on his home ground by his superbly composed fellow countryman.
Michu the marksman makes mockery of the Torres transfer fee (Jack Pitts-Brooke, Independent) It seems cruel to compare him to Fernando Torres but when both teams have a Spanish No 9 it is almost unavoidable. Michu, for whom Swansea paid Rayo Vallecano £2m last summer, cost 4 per cent of Torres's transfer fee. Tonight there was no comparison.
Liverpool Want Dalglish Back
Reds line up shock Kenny return offer (Sun) Kenny Dalglish could make a shock return to Anfield. Liverpool top brass are considering offering the Kop legend his old position as club ambassador… Whether Dalglish would accept any such approach is open to debate. But he admitted how much he enjoyed the role first time around when Rafa Benitez brought him back in 2009.
Rangers Quitting Scottish Football?
Rangrrrrs (Paul Jiggins, Sun) English league chiefs have been placed on red alert — after Rangers said they could quit Scottish football. Clubs north of the border are set to vote on a proposal which would see three divisions, with 12 teams in both of the top two divisions and 18 in the third tier. The move is designed to make Scottish football more appealing. But Gers chief executive Charles Green, whose club were relegated to Division Three for financial irregularities, rubbished the plans. He said: "If that's what we have waited for, my advice is the quicker we can leave Scottish football the better."
Rangers giving thought to leaving Scottish football – chief executive (Ewan Murray, Guardian) Green told RangersTV: "If this [reconstruction] does happen what is the point of us finishing the season? Why should we send players out to get broken noses – like Ross Perry last week – or have players getting surgery when no one can get promoted and no one can get relegated? We might as well have a winter break now until next August. I can't see any point in carrying on with meaningless matches. In what league do you win a division and end up playing the same teams again the following season?"
Asian Fans & Football
Why Bradford City fan in a hijab holds key to the game's future (Jim White, Telegraph) Watching television coverage of Bradford City beating Aston Villa on Tuesday night, I was struck by the most arresting sight. As the visitors' Barry Bannan went to take a corner, he was assailed by an overexcited Bradford fan, attempting verbally to put him off his stride… What was striking, though, was the identity of the fan yelling at Bannan: she was an Asian woman wearing a hijab. What is more, she was with a couple of female Asian friends, in a section of the Valley Parade crowd dotted with Asian faces. If it is possible that someone yelling at a footballer represents evidence of social progress, then this was the most encouraging image of the season. After all the miserable racist vituperation that has swilled around football recently, here was a Muslim woman, comfortable in the middle of an ethnically mixed crowd, engaging with the game's traditional possibilities. And in doing so, clearly having the time of her life. How pleasant was that to see?
Premier League Pay Outs
City leapfrog Chelsea as biggest payers in Premier League after London club reduce wage bill for first time in Abramovich era (Mail) Chelsea have been overtaken by Manchester City as the biggest payers in the Premier League, the Stamford Bridge club's accounts have confirmed. The overall wages paid out by Chelsea in the year ending June 2012 actually fell by £18million to £171million – compared to Manchester City who saw their wages break through the £200million barrier. Chelsea announced last year they had made a profit of £1.4million – the first time they had finished in the black in the Roman Abramovich era.
AVB's Tottenham
It's early days but it's already starting to look like Levy's AVB gamble is paying off (Darren Lewis, Mirror) By the time Dimitar Berbatov realised over the long term that the grass wasn't necessarily greener the £30million that Levy had managed to rake in for him from United had already accrued a fair bit of interest in the bank. So too the £27million package that Levy thrashed out with Real Madrid for Luka Modric. You know what he did last summer: He stamped his feet until he got his move, yet was recently voted La Liga's worst signing for 2012. His fee, however, is nestling nicely in Tottenham's account. At times White Hart Lane big chief has seemed more Daniel Craig than Levy with his hard bargains, calculated risks and his nerveless insistence on taking it to the wire. But his gamble to axe the man that had led Spurs to two top-four finishes in three years (and did more in the Champions League than City did with a £300million outlay) looks to be paying off.
Still Upset With The FifPro XI
I fear for English football's future – it's no surprise the Premier League doesn't have a single player in the World XI (Jamie Redknapp, Mail) I'm scared about the future of English football. The World XI line-up should be a wake-up call to Premier League footballers. Eleven players based in Spain, none in England, Germany or Italy. That's an 11-0 hiding. I love our league. For its drama and excitement. You won't see better games this weekend anywhere in Europe than Arsenal versus Manchester City and Manchester United against Liverpool. I'm convinced we still have the best league but it seems we don't have the best players. Where is the next Wayne Rooney? Normally, we are aware of the next explosive talent coming through but increasingly, English football seems to be turning to foreign players to provide the next level. Raheem Sterling at Liverpool and Everton's Ross Barkley are two players with rich potential and people are right to point that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has promise, but where is the English Mata, Silva or Cazorla?
Man United To Sign Zaha
Man Utd close on £12m Zaha (Sun) Wilfried Zaha is on the verge of joining Manchester United for £12million… It is understood Palace manager Ian Holloway, who has a close relationship with Ferguson, believes United's deal to be the best on offer. And it could finally be rubber-stamped in the next few days.
United close in on £12m deal for Crystal Palace whizzkid Zaha (Mail) It is expected that the deal, if it happens, will be £12m with some significant performance-related add-ons. United are open to loaning Zaha back to Palace until the end of the season and are the only club currently in talks to sign him.
Transfer Lies
Dam buster (Sun) Brazilian striker Leandro Damiao is ready for an approach from Spurs. The £15million Internacional star, 23, has been a target for over a year. He said: "Proposals have already arrived."
Carl's a hired Gun (Sun) Arsenal could send Carl Jenkinson out on loan. This week Crystal Palace tried to sign the right-back for the rest of the season but he does not want to make a switch to the Championship club.
Betis tell Laudrup to up £800k bid for Canas if Swansea are to land Spanish midfielder in January (Mail) Real Betis manager Pepe Mel has called on Swansea to up their offer for midfielder Jose Canas. Swansea are understood to have offered £800,000 for Canas but may need an extra £200,000 to finalise a deal.
United and Liverpool lead Premier League interest in Vallecano striker Baptistao (Mail) Manchester United's Martin Ferguson was among a clutch of scouts, including those from Liverpool, Wigan and QPR who watched Rayo Vallecano defeat Getafe on Monday night. It is understood that Vallecano striker Leo Baptistao was among those being watched.
Stuttgart, Levante and Elche weigh up loan deal for Macheda (Mail) The Italian striker is a long way down the pecking order at Old Trafford and has played just three matches this season.
O'Neill turns attention to Van Dijk and Mangane to shore up Sunderland defence (Mail) Sunderland are continuing their search for a defender and have added FC Groningen's Virgil van Dijk, 21, and Kader Mangane, 29, of Al Hilal to their list of targets.
Winter warmer for West Brom as Lukaku confirm loan from Chelsea will run until May (Mail) Steve Clarke has been handed a transfer window boost by keeping hold of Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season.
QPR steam in for West Brom's Jonas Olsson with £5m bid (Mirror) QPR believe they have a chance of getting the 29-year-old centre-half, who will be subject to a £4m buy-out clause in the summer.
Everton line up Wigan star James McCarthy as Marouane Fellaini replacement (Star) Chelsea and Manchester United are eyeing the Toffees' big Belgian midfielder. David Moyes is desperate to hang on to his top scorer – but £8m-rated McCarthy tops the Everton manager's shortlist of potential replacements should Fellaini go.
Managerial Merry Go Round
Gross and Di Matteo in frame for Saints job as Adkins' future remains in doubt (Mail) Southampton manager Nigel Adkins's job is still under review by chairman Nicola Cortese despite the club's recent revival. Christian Gross and Roberto Di Matteo are being lined up as potential replacements should the axe fall on the Liverpudlian boss.
Managerless Rovers make surprise swoop for Blackpool boss Appleton (Mail) Blackburn have made a stunning approach to Championship rivals Blackpool for Michael Appleton… Appleton has only been in charge at Blackpool for 12 games and won only twice, but is Rovers' first choice to become the new boss.

Miami Carnival 2010
October 10, 2010 by staff
Miami Carnival 2010, The summer season has not disappointed Carnival Corp., as a better demand boosted prices and led to an increase of 22 percent of its net profit in the third quarter.
The cruise operator has also raised its annual forecast results well above expectations on Wall Street Tuesday, sending its shares up 51 cents, or 1.4 percent, and 37.57.
The owner of Princess, Holland America Cruise Lines and its the same name and earned 1.3 billion, or 1.62 euro per share, for the period ended Aug. 31. This represents an increase from 1.07 billion, or 1.33 per share, in the same period last year.
The performance easily surpassed the 1.47 per share predicted byanlysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Ticket prices and strong demand for good health during the summer season, traditionally strong quarterly results helped, as president and CEO Micky Arison.
Summer is often a time for the holidays, as many families plan their trips to the end of the school year for their children. Others like to build travel through the summer and enjoy the warm weather that usually sweeps across the U.S. and abroad.
JPMorgan said Kevin Milota performance Carnival has also received a boost from cost reduction.
"We remain positive on the fundamentals of the cruise industry and believe that all key buckets for the Carnival of outperformance are oriented in the right direction," theanlyst wrote in a note to clients.
Milota reiterated an "overweight" rating.
Revenues rose 7 percent to 4.43 billion, meeting the expectations of Wall Street. It was the third consecutive quarterly increase.
A system for measuring key revenue also rose 6.2 percent on a constant dollar basis; slightly above Carnival expected 5 percent to 6 percent increase. The number of performance measures net income or the amount a company makes its cruise passengers after removing the charge.
While fuel prices increased 17 percent to 473 per tonne, they were still lower than the $ 493 per metric ton forecast that the carnival in June.
For the future, the company now expects 2010 and a net profit of 2.48 to 2.52 per share, from prior guidance of $ 2.25 to 2.35 per share.
Analysts expect full-year earnings of 2.36 per share for the company based in Miami.
Carnival said booking throughout the rest of 2010 and the first half of 2011 are ahead of 2009 at prices similar to last year.
"Consumers continue to adopt the holiday as an escape if necessary to the rigors of daily life, while cruising remains a more attractive option for those seeking greater value for money vacation," said Arison.
Although consumers are still on holiday during uncertain economic progress, many have opted for shorter trips or selected places cheaper, like the Caribbean, in an attempt to save a little money.
In the fourth quarter, Carnival expects earnings between 32 cents and 36 cents per share. It is in the range of the estimate of 36 cents per shareanlysts.
Chief Operating Officer Howard Frank said during the conference call that the company Carnival has been an increase in prices and a slight improvement in occupancy of its brands in North America over the last six weeks. Prices are also up to its European brands, occupancy at the same level a year earlier.
Carnival has 97 ships with 11 new ships scheduled for delivery by May 2014.

So, I've decided to sell one of my "old" guitars.
I purchased a very special Zion Primera from Ken Hoover and Jim Gray, way back in 1996.
This was my main guitar until about 3 years ago. I have no idea how many hours this instrument has been in my hands…countless performances and lessons, and many recording sessions, It proved to be a very versatile instrument, and I used it for all music…quiet jazz, loud jazz, blues, roots, raging funk fusion…etc.
Time marches on, and things change….the neck profile does not work so well for me anymore, and I have rarely played the guitar during the last 3 years. It's a beautiful instrument, and deserves to be played. Very balanced, sound-wise and strapped on. 2 humbuckers: a Fralin in the neck and a Duncan JB in the bridge. Push/Pull pots (I think they split the coils?). Sperzel locking tuners.
If you've seen me perform live from 1996-2014, chances are you've seen and heard this guitar. I've used it on the following commercially released albums:
Scott Sawyer "Dreamers"; Doll Records 2013 (3 Grammy ballot nominations)
Scott Sawyer "Go There"; Doll Records 2007 (w/ Oteil and Kofi Burbridge)
as a sideman…
Stephen Anderson – 360° Jazz Initiative "Distracted Society" Summit Records 2015
Bruce Piephoff "Soft Soap Purrings", Speranza 2014
Keith Waters "Carolina Tracks", 2012
The Meldavians "Farewell Arigemon", 2012
Bruce Piephoff "Still Looking Up at the Stars"; Speranza, 2012
Lois Deloatch "Roots: Jazz, Blues & Spirituals", 2010
Nnenna Freelon "Homefree"; Concord Records, 2010
Lois Deloatch "Hymn To Freedom"; Improv Media, 2008
Gary Brunotte "Manic Moments", 2007
Lois Deloatch "Closure"; Myriad Publishing Inc., 2005
Nnenna Freelon Nnenna Freelon "Live"; Concord Records, 2003
Ghezzi "Clearing"; Doll Records, 1999
Lois Dawson (Deloatch-Gomes) "Sunrise"; Myriad Publishing Inc., 1998
Ed Paolantonio "Dad's Blues"; Paolo Productions, 1998
Bill Anschell "a different note all together"; Accurate Records, 1998
Bill Anschell & Blowhard: Jazz Player Magazine "play-along" CD, 1997
Ghezzi "Taking No Prisoners"; Doll Records, 1997
Informal "bidding" will start at $3000 for the guitar only.
For more information, you can reach me here: ss@scottsawyer DOT net or 919-423-4853. Please, no Facebook Messenger messages.
…I'll post more "current" pictures of the Zion soon. ~ SS July 20, 2017

"Guns For Hire" (NGHTMRE Remix) by Charlie Darker
Grime and filth: those are the only two words to describe the drop in NGHTMRE's remix of "Guns For Hire" by Charlie Darker. The upbeat, elated build-up prepares the listener for a first-rate drop manufactured by dub royalty – and then smack! You're blindsided right in the face by a drop so dirty that not even your mom's all-purpose Swiffer can clean up. Maybe it's time to move out – what's your momma still doing cleaning up after your mess? Shame on you.

"Crank It" by Ghastly & Mija
When thinking about artists who had a year of breakthrough, both Ghastly and Mija come to mind. Since being taken under the wing of Skrillex and OWSLA, both of their careers have begun flight. Pushing the envelope, exploring new sounds, and meshing those sounds with the ones that resonate with the masses – that's what Ghastly & Mija do song in and song out. Featuring Lil Jon, "Crank It" motivates the mind to to lose itself once the sound-waves exit your speakers. Let the futuristic, screeching bass amplify as the bodies hit the dance floor.
Follow Ghastly: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"Take Ü There" (Slander Remix) by Jack Ü
Super-duo Jack Ü (Diplo & Skrillex) released their first single this year, "Take Ü There." Since its release, it has been remixed by some of the biggest names in the electronic music scene, most notably Slander. Taking the track from 160 BPM down to 128, their remix allows for Kiesza's vocal build to raise even more hairs before the energized, first drop. Then switching it up after the second build, they hit you with a slowed down, trapped out drop suitable for anyone over the age of 18.
Follow Slander: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"Boss Mode" by Knife Party
Prominent bass duo Knife Party's intense track "Boss Mode" was an obvious choice for this list. This trap infused banger comes from their most recent album Abandon Ship, which has been widely recognized as one of the most diverse LP's in electronic music this year. With "Boss Mode," the duo dabbled in some bass-heavy trap rich in sleazy synth patterns and bass-in-your-face drops.
Follow Knife Party: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"Not Butter" by Dillon Francis
From his most recent album Money Sucks, Friends Rule, "Not Butter" is hands down the wildest and hardest track off of the LP. While assembled with an aggressively vivid drop, the original sticks to Dillon Francis' very unique and recognizable style of sound. You really won't believe it's not butter.
Follow Dillon Francis: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"Vikings" by Botnek & 3LAU
I vividly remember the first time hearing this song while I was working at my desk with the Ultra live stream of Jack Ü playing in the background, and then losing all concentration as my brain was rattled with this insane sound that I had never heard before. So I skipped back to hear it again. And again. Botnek and 3LAU created the ultimate festival banger with "Vikings," which delivers a filthy shit-your-pants drop.
Follow 3LAU: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"Wild" by Snails & Antiserum
"Wild" could easily be considered as the public's coming out party for Snails. This track quickly gained main stage support from some heavy hitters in the festival scene. Vomit-step has quickly evolved to somewhat of a guilty pleasure for some artists in order to step away from their comfort zone and provide the audience with something they weren't expecting. Be sure to check out Snalis in 2015 for there are big things to come from this Canadian face melter.
Follow Snails: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"Sputnik" (Jay Fay Remix) by Bro Safari & UFO
This track is off of the Animals Remixes, which was one of the most impressive remix packages we saw this year. Jay Fay, a young Dj/Producer fuses low-tempo dub with electro in this grime-filled banger.
Follow Jay Fay: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"All Deez" (Jauz 'Jauzstep' Remix) by Buku
If you haven't heard of the name Jauz, you've probably been living under a large rock combing your hair while listening to "Levels" on repeat. This 21 year old LA native is currently one of the fastest growing names in electronic music – and if you listen to any of his songs or remixes, you understand why. His latest remix of Buku's "All Deez" cranks up the bass and slaps a thick layer of filth as a fitting garnish.
Follow Jauz: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"Dafuq" by Ookay and Riggi & Piros
The trap legend Ookay switches things up from his normal trap style through the means of a compilation with Riggi & Piros appropriately titled "Dafuq," which you will most likely be repeating as you listen to it. This song is packed with some heavy festival-ready sounds, making it a perfect song to be heard on every main-stage this summer. And for those hardcore Ookay fans that are skeptical, just wait for the third drop. It will feed your trap fix.
Follow Ookay: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"Now" (Run DMT Remix) by Bassnectar
There's no denying that Bassnectar was not born on this Earth. His incredible skills in the studio and on stage show tremulously throughout his undoubtedly successful career. But when a remix of one of his songs shines greater than one of his originals, then it's safe to say it should not be overlooked. RUN DMT has always been on top of the elastic growls whether he's making drum and bass or creating half-timed beats. However, this one hits on some next level sound design. After listening to this gem from RUN DMT, you'll be sure that dub-step is (in fact) not dead.
Follow Run DMT: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"Muscle" (Ft. Juvinile) (gLAdiator Remix) by Low Pros
2014 was another huge year for the homies of gLAdiator who have been stampeding around the country blowing up venue after venue with trap music suckled from the sweat of Apollo. After the duo from California played a home-town set at Hard Summer in 2013, the name gLAdiator catapulted its' way onto festival set lists like EDC Las Vegas, Spring Awakening and Mysteryland USA.
Follow gLAdiator: Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter
"The Dealer" (Milo & Otis Remix) by Bro Safari & UFO!
This track comes from the aforementioned Animals Remix package that has captured a lot of attention this past year. Signature whining synths and hard hitting bass from Milo & Otis are integrated into an already heater track from Bro Safari & UFO!
