The Mountain West was hoping for an automatic bid into the Bowl Championship Series for the BCS's final two years, but the BCS presidential oversight committee denied the conference's request.
The college football will change dramatically in 2014, when a four-team playoff is implemented. The Mountain West thought its performance over the last evaluation period had qualified it for an AQ exemption until the system changes, and last December put in a request to have its league champion get an automatic berth into the lucrative BCS bowls.
"We made a very compelling case on behalf of the Mountain West," commissioner Craig Thompson said in a statement. "It was based on clear performance metrics and the prior precedent established by the BCS in awarding automatic qualification. Unfortunately, the Presidential Oversight Committee decided against granting us the AQ exemption."

The first of several posts from interview with former Air Force coach Joe Scott:

Via Military Times' After Action blog, here's CBSSports.com's rankings of which coaches have the hottest seat coming into the season. Not too surprisingly, Air Force's Troy Calhoun ranks very high on the list, though it's still a bit startling to see the elite and small group Calhoun is with on this list.
The site ranks job security, or how hot the seat is for each coach, on a 0-5 ranking. The 0.0 and 0.5 rankings mean that coach "can't be touched." There were 15 coaches that got a 0.0 ranking, including Calhoun. He was joined by coaches like Alabama's Nick Saban, Wisconsin's Bret Bielema, Boise State's Chris Petersen, Michigan's Brady Hoke and Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy – some of the best in America. There were 15 other coaches that got a 0.5 ranking.
Technically, I do agree with Calhoun's place on this list. Air Force is not firing him, I think everyone knows that. He has done fantastic things, leading the Falcons to a bowl game every year, and the athletic department is thrilled with him. But taking a step back from the actual odds Calhoun's job is in danger (roughly 0 percent), I'd be more curious to know his "approval rating" from fans. Last season wasn't a banner year for the Falcons – though they did still continue the bowl streak and win the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy. The Falcons face a bit of a rebuilding season this year, replacing a lot of starters, though I don't think continuing the bowl streak is too much to ask.
So what say you, Falcons fans? Is Calhoun's approval rating still about perfect? Has it dipped at all?

Training camp for Air Force football begins in a little over a month, and one of the few certainties the Falcons have going into camp is their kicker.
There will be new starters at almost every position group, but Parker Herrington returns after a fantastic year at kicker for Air Force. He surprisingly won the job in fall and never looked back. Herrington was included on the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) 2012 Special Teams Watch List – the only Mountain West player on that list. Herrington was one of 33 placekickers on the list.
With so much else to worry about in August, the Air Force coaches certainly are happy they won't have to spend much time fretting about who will kick this season.

The last piece of the puzzle to put the All-Military Classic basketball event on an aircraft carrier seems to be figuring out the final details for a television broadcast of the championship round on Monday, Nov. 12, and if the visiting schools could stay an extra day.
Mike Whalen, the executive director of Morale Entertainment Foundation, said plans to have Citadel, Air Force, Army and Virginia Military Institute play on the USS Yorktown are still moving forward. There's a good chance the first round will be played Saturday, Nov. 10 on the ship, a day after a men's game between Ohio State and Marquette and a women's game between Notre Dame and Ohio State are played on the carrier. The second day of the event is still being worked out. Whalen said he has been in contact with Air Force about travel arrangements if the championship round finds a broadcast home for that Monday and the Falcons have to stay an extra day.

June is a time of relative peace and quiet in the football world, unless you're waiting for a television package to be put together by your conference.
The Mountain West announced the first phase of its football television schedule on May 3. Included in that announcement was plans for the second phase – working with television partner CBS Sports Network and schools to add games on regional and local platforms. That was seven weeks ago, and schools might be starting to look nervously at the calendar because there will be a third phase to figure out.
The Mtn. isn't around to broadcast the unselected games, so schools will be given the rights to any games that aren't included on the television schedule after the second phase is announced. The schools will weigh their options for those unselected games – such as local television, internet streaming or not broadcasting the games at all. While schools have been preparing for that for weeks, it's impossible to make definite plans without knowing what games they will have rights to.
A league spokesman said the TV committee has been working on the issue for several weeks and the Mountain West hopes to have an announcement soon.

When the firm began drafting plans for the renovation of our Memphis office, we made a commitment to "go green" under Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)* standards, working with contractors to explore the use of recycled materials, organic compound (VOC) paints and stains, water-conserving fixtures, lower-energy fluorescent lights and more efficient HVAC systems. Upon completion of those renovations in 2007, Butler Snow became the first LEED-certified law firm in the southeastern United States.
With construction of a new Central Mississippi office complete, we are excited to call a LEED Silver Certified building – the first LEED certified high-rise office building in the state of Mississippi – our new home. The firm oocupies four floors in Renaissance 200. The building is designed to minimize energy use and environmental impact, with energy-conserving lighting systems, use of natural light, low-water-use hardware and natural materials. The area surrounding 200 Renaissance incorporates bicycle trails and racks to encourage employees to use alternate modes of transportation to and from the office.

South Essex boys role in £70million "Wolf of Wall Street" scam
Updated 5:17pm Tuesday 17th June 2014 in News By Jon Austin
WHEN Essex boys Shaun Rumsey and Daniel Gooding accepted offers of sales jobs in Spain, it may have sounded too good to be true.
Rumsey, 33, from Basildon, and Gooding, 39, from Brentwood, would sell shares in specialist diamond, mining and medical companies to more than 1,000 retired people across the UK.
The scheme was not unlike the one orchestrated by Jordan Belfont, played by Leonardo di Caprio, in Hollywood movie the Wolf of Wall Street.
Living in Madrid apartments with flights, expenses and rent covered by their new employers, they were among scores of "gift of the gab"
Essex salesmen recruited by Australian Jeffrey Revell-Reade, 49, and Londoner Anthony May, 58.
Despite the veneer of being a legitimate business, their roles were to sell what are now known to have been worthless shares in US-listed dormant and shell companies. Put simply, it became the UK's biggest ever boiler room scam, netting nearly £70million.
Fraudster: Shaun Rumsey
Rolex watches and jewellery worth thousands of pounds were given as incentives to top sellers each month.
But while some colleagues of Rumsey and Gooding realised early on the scheme was a massive scam, and headed back home, the pair rose to become key players in an organisation that traded for four years.
They were finally brought to book and jailed following a seven-year international investigation by the Serious Fraud Office.
Deborah Weston, a Serious Fraud Office accountant who was a case principal investigator for six years, said: "A lot of salesmen went over from Essex where they advertised specifically for young men.
"They would pay for flights and rent out there. It was the reverse of a normal interview.
"If applicants knew anything about shares they would not get the job, in case they became suspicious.
"Hundreds went over from Essex.
In jail: Daniel Gooding
Some came back after a few days because they didn't like what they saw. But Sean Rumsey and Daniel Gooding became team leaders with team names."
Rumsey, also known as Sean Logan, led a sales team called the Bulls. When he was arrested landing at Gatwick after a flight back from Spain, he was found to have two watches and a ring with a combined insurance value in 2008 of more than £123,000.
Gooding was using the pseudonymDaniel Tresadern and used this name to buy a home in the exclusive Oaklands Park development in Hutton, near Brentwood, for £1.27million.
The top salesmen earned hundreds of thousands of pounds and were able to invest in overseas and UK property.
Ms Weston added: "Rumsey got hundreds of thousands, plus it was all expenses paid, including entertainment.
Rolexwatches were prizes for top salesmen."
Lavish: Watches and ring worth £123,000 seized from Rumsey by SFO
At least ten victims who came forward as part of the Serious Fraud Office probe were from Essex.
One was left "isolated" after losing his money and now has only a small Army pension to live on.
Another victim invested her £200,000 life savings to try to fund care for her elderly disabled mother, and lost the lot.
Rumsey, from various addresses across Basildon, and Gooding from Oaklands Park, Hutton, were jailed for five and three years respectively last year for their part in the scam.
They were found guilty of one count each of conspiracy to defraud after becoming managers of different Spanish boiler rooms during the con, which ran from 2003 to 2007.
UK Connection: Shaun Rumsey set up New Wealth Consultancy Limited in these offices in Rayleigh High Street
Their jail sentences could only be reported after Revell-Reade, from Dursley, Gloucestershire, and May, of South Norwood, South London, were last week convicted of one count of conspiracy to defraud and jailed for nine years and six months and seven years six months respectively.
Ms Weston said salesmen like Rumsey and Gooding befriended potential investors and effectively groomed them to part with cash.
She said: "Part of the con was to promise whatever it took to get a sale.
"They befriended the vulnerable and the old. Very enticing leaflets were sent to people whowould return them for more information.
"The salesmen who rang would note down personal details, for example likewhen their grandchildren visited, and ask them about this on the next call to befriend them.
"They used very slick, sophisticated, underhanded and manipulative tactics."
The biggest single investment was well over £1million. Others lost from £1,000 upwards.
Ms Weston said: "We knew straight away it was a fraud, but gathering the evidence took six years. We had to follow the trail of where the money went and it involved several countries."
Fraud conviction: Emma Farmer
It was also a family affair.
Gooding's sister Emma Farmer, 41, also from Hutton, received three years after being found guilty of conspiracy to defraud, while their mother Michelle Coleman, 62, of the same address, pleaded guilty to three counts of money laundering and was sentenced to 21 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
The total she laundered through a trail of bank accounts, ending at the Isle of Man, was £252,425.

As recently reported in the Huffington Post, a new study done by Health People reports that New York City's progress in reducing death rates among residents with HIV/AIDS in the Bronx and Brooklyn has collapsed since 2006--the year the Bloomberg administration decided to redistribute the city's federal AIDS funding towards services in Manhattan.
For several years before 2006, the sizeable amount of federal funds given to New York City to combat AIDS (commonly referred to as Ryan White funding), was widely dispersed throughout the city, bringing accessible care down to the neighborhood level. This was especially important in the Boroughs of the Bronx and Brooklyn, where sixty percent of the city's women with AIDS reside, many in poor neighborhoods.
Yet, in 2006, the Bloomberg administration started a large-scale redistribution of funds and concentrated roughly 60% of the federal monies to Manhattan medical centers and services agencies, where only 30% of the city's residents living with HIV/AIDS reside. The report written by Health People shows that the resulting changes in annual deaths from HIV/AIDS was significant.
Before the funding redistribution, all boroughs had almost equal slowdowns in death rates resulting from AIDS. Afterwards, the Bronx and Brooklyn saw a significant reduction in their slowdown of deaths. More specifically, women in the Bronx fared the worse, with major progress in reducing deaths collapsing.
The report states:
"As a group, Bronx women lost the most funding and services; indeed, key Ryan White services were so completely withdrawn from Bronx women with HIV/AIDS that by, the end of 2006, only 3% of all Ryan White clients in the city receiving Supportive Counseling/Family Stabilization services---services specifically intended to help stabilize women with AIDS raising children---lived in the Bronx. The result was to derail the significant progress the Bronx had been making in keeping women---and mothers---alive."

Every MVP needs a good supporting cast, from the teammates alongside him to coaches in the meeting room to fans supporting him in the stands. Peyton Manning is a great player, but he never would have collected four MVP trophies without Reggie Wayne making plays down the field, Tom Moore instructing him from the sidelines and the Colts faithful rallying him on.
I am not comparing myself to Manning by any stretch of the imagination, but I too need support. Each week I'll be keeping track of all the NFL's top players, and writing the MVP Meter for PFW on Tuesday.
I'm asking for your help in this endeavor.
Each week, I'll be checking Twitter for suggestions on who the MVP of the league should be. So write to my account or the PFW handle with your thoughts on the 2011 MVP race. Post something that catches my eye, and you may even see your Tweet in the next MVP column.
Here's the preseason meter as we project who will be deemed most valuable at season's end:
1. Patriots QB Tom Brady — Fantasy owners loved the 36 touchdowns Brady threw last season. Bill Belichick loved the mere four interceptions Brady threw last season. To win back-to-back MVP awards, however, the most important number for Brady and the Patriots to duplicate may be the number of victories (14) the Patriots had last season.
2. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers — Nine players have won both a PFW MVP award and the Super Bowl MVP — Rodgers has a chance to become No. 10. With a fantastic season for the Pack — which seems highly likely given the amount of talent surrounding him — Rodgers could join a list that includes names such as Brady, Manning and Montana.
3. Eagles QB Michael Vick — It's crazy how quickly things change. Last season, Vick was the surprise MVP candidate, coming off the bench in Week One before taking the league by storm. Now he has a target on his back as the most important player on the Dream Team in Philly. With his skill-set, the pressure shouldn't affect Vick at all.
4. Chargers QB Philip Rivers — Rivers has the arm, the supporting cast, the high profile and the media hype to capture the MVP award. He'll have no chance to even come close to winning, though, if the Chargers miss the playoffs yet again.
5. Saints QB Drew Brees — No player took greater advantage of the lockout than Brees, who organized several workouts with his Saints teammates throughout the spring and summer. We'll see if the extra work helps the QB cut down on the career-high 22 interceptions he threw last season.
6. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger — The question a year ago was how would Big Ben overcome missing four games due to a suspension. Now, it's about overcoming a Super Bowl hangover. It's been a rarity lately to see a player lose the big game and bounce back with an outstanding season, though Roethlisberger has the will and supporting cast to defy the trend.
7. Ravens RB Ray Rice — Offensive players tend to win MVPs and quarterbacks tend to be the most important offensive players. Not so with the Ravens. If Baltimore is going to have the big year it expects, it's going to need Rice to become one of the league's premier all-around running backs.
8. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson — Expectations are fairly low for the Vikings, and Peterson may be the first player on this list to drop out of consideration just because his team is poor. It would be foolish to discount the league's premier running back, though. Consider that he could be extra motivated being in a contract year. If Minnesota does surprise and win more than a few games, Peterson will vault up the list.
9. Texans WR Andre Johnson — Like Ray Rice, Johnson is the rare non-quarterback functioning as the key cog on a team's offense. While RB Arian Foster and QB Matt Schaub also play huge roles in the Texans' attack, it is the fast and physical wideout who makes everything go. However, no wideout has been named MVP by PFW since Jerry Rice in 1987.
10. Jets CB Darrelle Revis — Other defenders may produce gaudier statistics or make more highlight plays, but nobody on that side of the ball is more important (or talented) than Revis. The Jets corner must be accounted for on every play, and is one of the few defenders who has a shot at being considered the most valuable player in the league.
Five on the cusp (in alphabetical order) — Texans RB Arian Foster, Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman, Lions WR Calvin Johnson, Falcons QB Matt Ryan, Cowboys OLB DeMarcus Ware.

Police have arrested and charged two Beaver County brothers with robbery and other offenses in connection with the holdups of o stores in Moon and Scott earlier this month.
Jerome Cutler, 23, and Willie Cutler, 21, were arrested Tuesday, police said. They are in jail on $100,000 straight bond each, according to court records.
The brothers are suspects in the armed robbery of the Family Video store on Fifth Avenue on Aug. 22 and in a second holdup of a Family Video branch on Washington Avenue in Scott, near Carnegie. In addition, store officials have said they believe the cases may be linked to a robbery several weeks ago of a Family Video store in New Brighton.
Investigators from the and Scott police departments on Tuesday charged Jerome Cutler, of Beaver Falls, with robbery, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, conspiracy and other offenses.
Willie Cutler, of Greensburg, was charged with robbery, criminal conspiracy and possessing instruments of crime.
In the Moon robbery, said two men carrying guns and wearing black hooded sweatshirts, with black bandanas covering their faces, robbed the video store. They pointed a gun at a store employee's face and demanded all of the money in the store's cash register, police said.
Two store employees were the only people in the store when the robbers entered. No one was hurt.
Police said the suspects ordered the employees to sit on the floor after the employees had handed over the store's cash drawer, which contained about $500.
The men were arrested at 7 a.m. Tuesday along Pesavento Drive in Bridgeville. A resident saw them sleeping in a parked car and reported the incident to .
Upon hearing their description, Scott police assisted Bridgeville officers in chasing the two men on foot and stopping them on nearby Union Street.
After the brothers were taken into custody, police were able to recover cash, bandanas, glasses and a shoe as evidence. Investigators later identified one of the robbers and put out his description to area police departments.
Police said the firearms used in the robbery were BB guns.
Moon investigators said Jerome Cutler waived his Miranda rights and provided authorities with a videotaped confession. In it, he said the brothers escaped from the Moon video store with the help of a getaway driver. He said the driver's 2-year-old daughter was in the vehicle at the time of the robbery.
A preliminary hearing in the Moon case is scheduled for Tuesday. Check back with Patch for more coverage.

This recipe was tasty, but I made a few changes. Although it is very creamy and sweet, it wasn't chocolaty enough. Instead of a 16 oz. container of chocolate milk mix, I bought a bigger container and ended up using three full cups. Then I also added 1/4 cup of cocoa for a richer taste and a darker color. Lastly, I used 1/2 cup of regular creamer, and 1/2 cup of French Vanilla flavored creamer. The end result was great, and I made 48 decorated mason mugs full of this mix for our school's Santa's Workshop. In the instructions, I also added a variation: "for a delicious mocha flavor, add 1/2 tsp. of instant coffee". My 10 year old son LOVED making these with me! Very easy for kids and not much mess.
This is a wonderful mix. I did as others advised and used 3 C. chocolate drink mix (I used Nestle's Quick) and added a heaping 1/4 C. cocoa. This was wonderful. It made one of those 1 1/2 gallon ziploc bags full. I am giving as Christmas gifts and have already recieved many compliments. I bought the clear gift (treat) bags from the dollar store and put the mix in there and tied with pretty ribbon. Stuck the mix in pretty mugs with a tag and voila! Instant gift. You might want to put on the tag "mix with either hot water or for a cremier hot chocolate use hot milk). BTW, it is much prettier if you will add a few mini marshmallows on the top of the mix-the color contrast of the white marshmallows looks great in the bags. Thanks Fran! I'm making the 3rd batch tonight.
I too had to tweak this a bit for my own taste as follows: 11 cups dry milk powder 2 1/2-3 cups confectioners' sugar (to taste..after mixed try a cup if not sweet enough add more ) 1-1 1/2 C. cocoa powder 1 (32 ounce) container instant chocolate drink mix 1 (8 ounce) container powdered non-dairy Chocolate creamer 1 (8 ounce) container powdered non-dairy French Vanilla creamer

Whilst I'm sure the resorts in that article have nice some beaches (though the one at Sanur is fairly ropey and the one at Ao Nang very busy) you need to do a separate search for the snorkling/clear water bit. Three of the resorts listed have crummy snorkling (poor vis/few fish - lots of sea snakes in Sanur, which can be a bit hairy). Always a bug bear of mine when the brochure/hotel site mentions great snorkling and then you find it's lousy and you have to sign up for the 1+ hour boat ride to get to the good snorkling area. The Khao Lak Le Meridien is a very nice hotel and has a good sized adults only pool (as well as a large general pool). It has a good beach but 1ft visability in the sandy water. If you go there, you'd need to sign up for a 3hr trip (each way) to the Similans for some good snorkling/diving.

pack your things and go to puerto galera mindoro philippines. Palawan is also good.
See this link for the pueto galera http://www.mb.com.ph/ENVI20090116145629.html

Go to Dos Palmas in Honda Bay , near Puerto Princessa in Palawan. There are several islands accessible by banca boat with great snorkeling and good diving. I have a home near Honda Bay and can definitely recommend Starfish Island, Snake Island (no sea snakes just 3km of sandy beach) and helens garden just off Dos Palmas resort.

Felt obliged to chime in here....This person says they want luxury...and some people are suggesting Puerto Galera? Kota Kinabalu?? Sanya?? Pipi? Please....people.
If luxury, clear water etc. is your top desire, then see post about Amanpulo. Otherwise, Maldives, Mauritius, Lizard Island (or other luxury Whitsunday Islands) in Australia, Bali could also be a possibility, but water and vis. quality not as good...
Posted by bing2 (2009 days ago)
Definitely Maldives for luxury.....been to all over beach resorts in Asia and nothing come close to Maldives' luxury resorts and clear water......you want luxury, clear water and private time with your significant other, Maldives is your destination.....

Try Bora Bora in Tahiti..Went there for my honeymoon and it was great....

I suggest any of the GHM Hotels.
The Datai in Langkawi is exceptional!

Datai is very nice, but certainly no good for clear water snorkeling.
Maldives are great, but a lot of bleached coral. I've stayed at top (US$1K+/night) resorts there, but I still think Amanpulo wins. An absolute jewel of an island.

Warning Note, a new hazard in these waters is the IRUKANDJI, or Box Jellyfish, one sting and they put you in a box, as a result of global warming these little pests have been moving north, previously unknown in Thailand, there have been recent fatalaties in both Phuket and Samui. Swimming in a wet suit apparently helps, however since people are not dying in droves, I guess the problem is not yet serious.

i choose SANYA, hainan island (china) not far from HK. i always stay in The Ritz Carlton Sanya! they have pick up service which worth to get i guess, cost around 700hkd/way. it takes 40mins, i dont suggest you to take taxi, they are dirty and so tiny! book the lagoon suite or the villa! with ocean view OOOHHH.. gorgeous!!! villa can cost around 25000hkd BUT you have your own buttler, club car, fruits, snacks, private pool, ocean direct, what A LIFE!!! if you choose lagoon suite also fine, you have the biggest pool ever, right after your door! never stay in the lagoon suite, i dont know how much. stayed in Marriot before but was not as good as the ritz carlton but they have fantastic breakfast!. and the beach... OH MY GOOOOOD.... so clear, the sand so white and soft, you can swim! you can dive, you can do many things there! the hotel also provide a water sport activity!
i envy you if you go to Sanya, yalong bay area... i will not go there anymore because now we are in Japan... we probably will go next year! my family and i just love it! let me know if you go there! share your beautiful vacation, you will never regret!!!

I have travelled all over the world, and been to some exotic beaches, but no where beats the maldives, only issue is getting there from hk flights times are early evening with cathay pacific, which gets you into columbo late at night try and fly to male the same evening, then choose an island near by ie 20 -45 mins by boat.
if not you need to get a sea plane the next day.
We stayed at the anantara last time in a water bungalow amazing resort good restaurants to choose from, try and go for an exclusive package then you can choose which restaurant you eat in, they have 3 islands 2 are attached that you can walk too.
not many children on this island if you want piece and quiet.
We go once a year for a weeks vacation, and I love not having to wear shoes. enjoy.

we just went to anantara maldives last yr and like you, thought it was a great resort.
you mention you go a week's vacation every yr, this is back to maldives? if so, where else have you stayed at that you will recommend? you been to soneva fushi?
Posted by Thames (1747 days ago)
El Nido is NOT luxury! Believe me, it really was very basic when I went there (admittedly quite some time ago) and although they were marketing themselves as 5* I would be hesitant to give either of the resorts 2*. They were also charging 5* prices.
Posted by Telemundo (1746 days ago)
> Green Flower
Soneva Fushi is very nice. Bigger than most islands in the Maldives, so you have a sense of space. Also has a very nice laid-back vibe.
My wife and I would choose Amanpulo over it, but it's still a lovely resort. We felt the vibe there was nicer than Soneva Gilli.
> Thames... agreed. The El Nido and Busuanga resorts still have a long way to go. Club Paradise for example is a dump.

Cmon, Maldives in 4 days ... it cost u 1,5 day to travel and that means you only have 2 days NET staying there.
The last thing you want if you go to such luxury resort is to come back broken right ?
You spend that much money is to slow yourself down and relax your mind etc.. with taht much travel within that short period of time is really nerve breaking.
for any place with nice beaches, you need to spend some time in the sky. Golden rule: the nicer the beach , the further it lies

The Four Seasons, Langkawi. Simply nothing can beat this place.
Posted by griffy (1716 days ago)
Amanpulo, no questions, beats any of the Maldives island resorts anytime. Any Beach resorts in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia (Bali) are good for water sports, fun and nightlife, but no way can you get the luxury, tranquility and the crystal clear waters that this filipino beauty offers. Another jewel, in addition to Manny Pacquiao, from the philippines!

Posted by Philly Cheese (1715 days ago)
I've just read in a TripAdvisor post that Amanpulo has shared its facilities with some private villas on the island and is now less tranquil than before. For 4/3 packages that start at HK$18k and up, I don't think that is acceptable if true.

If you
Note to Griffy: don't quite agree with you. Amanresorts actually have 5 properties in Indonesia (3 of them are in Bali -- Amanwana, Amandari, Amankila) because of its tranquility, crystal clear water and definitely luxury.
I'd love to visit Amanpulo, tho
For Mills, if you happen to stop by in Bali, do not go to common beach like Kuta as it's packed with tourists. Go to Dreamland Beach, Padang-padang or Uluwatu Beach

Sanya??? you must be joking.
Pollution from the Sanya River is polluting Sanya Bay, and the water quality is deteriorating everywhere in Hainan. I'd rather go to Tai Long Wan in Sai Kung than fly to Sanya. There are too many resorts, the place is overrun with loud mainland tourists carrying LV men bags, flashing golden watches, playing dice and drinking XO with their mistresses. The presence of large Chinese families (3 generations and other assorted relatives) make eating out in Sanya just as romantic as going to an over-lit, noisy hotpot restaurant in Mongkok. Obviously Sanya caters for them (think karaoke nights, shops selling the same designer brands they are all crazy about, hotel buffets serving oily Chinese food full of MSG)
English is not widely spoken, and the few non-Chinese tourists are Russian (cheap getaway packages for those who have to endure a long winter....even Sanya is preferable to Moscow at this time of the year)
If you live in HK, a weekend in Lantau, or Sai Kung country park is more relaxing and pleasant than flying to Sanya.
IMHO, the best place for snorkelling (if you haven't got a long holiday) is Central and Southern Philippines.

Gday, I recommend Noumea in New Caledonia; somewhat French atmosphere but crystal clear waters and great diving; food is great and costs around Sydney prices.
Good priced hotels in Noumea and nearby beaches; Club Med way up north not really worth the drive or flight if you have only 4 days.

many of you recommend Amanpulo. What budget i expected to have for a 5 days trip with my wife and kid in there ?
Posted by tankeehoot (854 days ago)
Well I travel alot in the region and recent Conde Nast voted Ayana Resort in Bali Island.. I stayed there once but honestly the price is steep. HK$ 2147 a night.
Amanpulo is great but expensive too and very hard to book. I'd recommend red coconut also in Boracay
Stayed there a couple of months back.

i would recommend AMANPULO.
another resort you would wanna check is BELLAROCCA it's in the heart of the PHILIPPINES, and it's luxury. if you're looking for peace and tranquilty, you would wanna try this. :) really very special. around HKD 5000 per night.
Posted by peainapod (776 days ago)
I just read your comments on Sanya and had a good laugh because you really hit the nail on the head!!
The place is a festering dump full of crass mainlanders and Russians. People spitting in the potplants in the lobby area, pushing in front of you while you are trying to check in, yelling at each other from one side of the resort to the other. AWFUL!!! I think the urine content of the swimming pool would be off the scale too.
I'm no snob, but I was sent there for a company function and couldn't wait to leave.

Actually ... most of the beaches in Bali are not that great... the sand is mediocre, there are lots of rips, and there are touts on most of them who won't leave you alone...
However, one beach worth visiting is White Sand Beach (Pasir Putih)... http://suite101.com/article/balis-hidden-beach-pasir-putih-a45465

that is so cool!
With baseball season starting, everyone is hoping to make it to at least one of their team's games. Just sitting in the stands and cheering for the team that you love can be a special and memorable experience. But on April 1, I got to do something even better—something once in a lifetime!
That Sunday I got the privilege of being a batgirl for the Boston Red Sox for their second-to-last spring training game. I brought my two cousins Dylan and Amber to the game and they watched me fulfill my dream. As I walked into JetBlue Park, the Red Sox's new spring training stadium, I felt a little weird because I was wearing a real bat girl uniform - a hat, a jersey, baseball pants, a red belt, and red socks. As soon as I got on the field with the other three honorary bat kids, though, it was all worth it. I had such a great time and thought you guys would like to hear about what it was like to be an honorary batgirl.
As honorary bat kids, we had a lot to learn. The real Red Sox bat boy, Robert, taught us the ropes. He explained that we would not only get the bats, but do some other jobs too. We had to do one of the following things each time it was our turn: (1) Collect the bat from the player and return it to the dugout, or (2) Run to get the foul ball after it was out of play, or (3) Hand the umpire more baseballs. Now most people probably think that it is an easy job, but when it is almost 90 degrees and you are sitting in the sun, think again.
My favorite thing about being a batgirl was getting to see the players right in front of me. I even had some of them come up and say hello. For example, Big Papi (David Ortiz), came up to all of us and said, "Hey guys, how are you?" and signed our hats. Then there were some who were really focused and didn't say much. I also got a "Great job!" from Bobby Valentine when I returned the bats to the bin in the dugout.
My other favorite things were the jobs that I got to do. Here was the routine I would go through to get the bats from the players: I would run to home plate and pick up the bat, run into the dugout, return the bat to the correct compartment, then go back to my seat on the field. If I got a foul ball, I waited till the play was over and sprinted as fast as I could and returned it to the correct bag on the field next to my seat. If the umpire needed new baseballs, he would hold up a number between one and five and that is how many balls I would bring him.
It was a tough job, but I wouldn't replace this experience for anything! It really was a once in a lifetime experience, and a memory I will never forget. Thank you to everyone who made this possible for me!

i'm a tigers fan and we beat the Red Sox in our first series but it's awesome that you were able to be the bat girl. If i got to do that i would be amazed. My dad plays softball and i was the bat boy once. it was very fun. But it's probally way better doing it for a MLB team. You probally had a great experiences.
Let's go bucs! I went to a Pirates game and the bases were loaded in the bottom of the ninth and the count 2-2 there were two outs and the score was 2-2 and the rookie Matt Hague got hit in the ribcage and Jose` Tabata came home for the win! Final score 3-2 Pirates.
Lets go Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When James William Anderson III was born on November 1, 1937, no one had a clue the impact he would have on the country music world. Although he was born in Columbia, South Carolina, he was raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He started writing songs in high school and by the age of nineteen he had written "City Lights."
Bill worked as a disc jockey at local radio stations which helped him go to college at the University of Georgia, where he graduated with a degree in journalism. He first got a job at the Atlanta Constitution, where he continued to work until signing with Decca Records under the legendary producer Owen Bradley.
From this point on Bill Anderson's story seems more like a dream than reality. When Bill sings, you only hear a whisper, he proves you don't have to yell in order to be heard. His first single "That's What It's Like To Be Lonesome" was released in 1959, but in 1960 he recorded his first Top 10 hit "Walk Out Backwards."
The 1960's should have been called "The Bill Anderson Decade." He was everywhere from television to radio, and showed no signs of slowing down. In 1961, "Po' Folks" was released, which later became the name of his band and a chain of restaurants he sponsored. 1963 would deliver his "signature" song "Still." This tune reached No. 1 on the country charts and went all the way to number eight on the pop charts. It is one of country music's biggest hits as it continues to remain a fan favorite on every stage he performs.
Not only was Bill having a ton of success as a singer, but his songwriting skills were being put to good use as well. His songwriting credentials are nothing less than impressive. Roy Clark, Eddy Arnold and Steve Wariner have all recorded "The Tips Of My Fingers" while Martina McBride, Connie Smith and even Van Morrison have recorded "Once A Day."
Once the 1960's were over, Bill embraced the idea of some new projects. Becoming the host of the game show "Fandango," which aired on The Nashville Network, he also co-produced "You Can Be A Star," hosted by fellow Opry member Jim Ed Brown. If this wasn't enough, Bill decided to try his acting card, which landed him a role on ABC's One Life To Live. He also made appearances on shows such as "Family Feud," "The Today Show," "Match Game" and "Hee Haw."
Now at the young age of seventy, Bill continues to perform all over the world, while writing songs for country music's top stars like George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss. After forty six years as a member of the Grand Ole Opry, Bill is also a member of the Country Music Hall Of Fame, and in 2002 BMI crowned him as the first country music Songwriting Icon. Bill has said "I feel like I have come full circle, because songwriting is what got me to Nashville in the first place."
His latest project is a Bluegrass album with special guests like Vince Gill, Dolly Parton and Jan Howard. Bill Anderson is a country music legend and if you have not heard him sing, you're missing out.

Now on to the fun stuff!
Hi there Naptime Crafter readers!
We are excited to be here today to share Kristi's latest piece in her sons playroom, the striped chalkboard table & chair set:
Before we share the makeover on this cute piece, let's introduce ourselves:
We are twin sisters Kelli & Kristi of Lolly Jane, an eclectic DIY blog filled with craft tutorials, home improvement projects, home decor how-to's and even a tasty recipe or two. We would love for you to stop by our little corner of Blogland :)
I found this weather-worn Nantucket table & chair set {retails for $179} at a garage sale for a whopping $10:
When I brought it home, my husband told me I got ripped off! LOL
Yes it was multi-colored, yet it was beaten up, yes it was chippy as it had been rained on, yes it was stained, yes most of the joints were loose and yes it had seen better days BUT, it was also the perfect size for my toddlers reading nook in his play area. I had to try!
After a thorough scrubbing {as well as peeling off stickers & nail polish from the surface,} I spent a good hour tightening each of the screws and bolts so the piece
could withstand a busy 2-year old was sturdy. For under $20, I snagged a few cans of white/gray spray paint, a can of chalkboard paint and a roll of painters tape from the local home improvement store and I was set. I first gave the table a fresh coat of white paint, then sprayed the seats of all 4 chairs white:
Once dry, I taped off each chair seat every 2″ to create stripes. I then gave each chair a thorough spray of gray paint and slowly peeled away the tape to reveal a fun nautical striped pattern:
I decided to maximize the play/use for this cute table as best I could… my sons reads on it, has snack time on it, plays with his cars/puzzles/toys on it, colors on it, etc., so I thought, "Why not color with chalk on it, too?" :)
After applying 5 thin coats and letting it dry, I sanded down the edges of the table and all 4 chairs to give it the distressed look you will see on most of Lolly Jane's projects:
To finish off the set, I whipped up the numbers 1-4 in a coordinating nautical-ish font, cut it out to use as a vinyl stencil, and applied a quick coat of black acrylic paint that I had on hand:
I now had a set of 4 cute chairs, personalized for pennies and labeled 1-4:
I have a feeling the labeling will come in handy in a few years when toddler & baby start fighting ;)
As you can see, my little one is LOVING his revamped set- especially the chalkboard paint:
…and I am loving how EASY PEASY it is to clean up!
For around $30, I salvaged a set that works great in my home. Don't let
husbands critics sway you to not try something new… I am sure glad I went for it and made my hubby eat his words when the set was completed and he told me it didn't even look like the same table or chairs and he was glad I kept it.
I am always amazed what a little elbow grease + spray paint can amount to!
Be sure to pop by our site for more furniture transformations or feel free to chat with us on FB, Pinterest or Twitter. And of course, a BIG thanks to Amy for letting us be her guests today! Hope you are loving on those sweet baby cheeks and enjoying each blog-free moment ;)
WOW! Now I just need to find a s
Before buying furniture, you should know how to find the best match for your needs. Every piece of furniture has certain elements or features that determine whether or not it is a good fit. springfield furniture stores
Wow, this is fabulous!
That turned out better than new! What a great, functional update.
I absolutely love the idea of a chalkboard table! I will have to keep my eye out for a cheap wooden table at garage sales.
Wow!!! Awesome table & chairs set! It looks AMAZING!!
What a transformation!!! You got a great deal and love what you did with it, great job!

Lindsay Lohan may be a celebrity with quite a few films under her belt and millions of dollars in her pocket, however, if anyone asked me if I would trade my life for hers, I would run for the hills. Though we've known for years how messed up the entire Lohan family is, the latest tweets on Lindsay Lohan's Twitter page, shows how terribly wrong things are going with her and her family.
Earlier today, Michael Lohan brought the L.A. County Sheriff's department with him to Lindsay's home where her younger sister Ali was staying with the actress. After learning Lindsay Lohan had driven home from Coachella this weekend with 16-year old Ali while going 115 mph, Michael Lohan decided to step in and take action. He told Hollyscoop.com, "I went to the police department concerned about Ali's welfare. I wanted to check on Ali. I want to make sure she's ok. She's 16 and she doesn't belong there! She's a minor. I just want to make sure she's ok."
The concern is understandable since any parent should be worried if their 16-year old child is staying with Lindsay Lohan. She doesn't exactly scream responsibility. However, this is Michael Lohan we're talking about. We all know he did this for one reason and one reason only: media attention! He got his way by getting picked up by various gossip sites such as TMZ. However, Lindsay Lohan has inadvertently helped him achieve his goal as well.
Following the incident of her father barging into her home, Lindsay Lohan went to her Twitter page to share her family drama with the world. Here are just a few of the messages she sent out:
i have no choice but to make this public, due to my sister's safety, as well as my own, "my ex-dad" just WALKED INTO MY APT like the devil's advocate with officers....
let's not forget, that my father KIDNAPPED me from a COURT ROOM when i was 4 years old and is CRAZY
he has NEVER paid child support, and is marrying a tabloid writer and can barely spell his own name due to his "brain" that has been ruined due to HIS drug use.
when will it ever end... it's been going on my whole life with him-hasn't he caused enough pain ?
thank g-d for my mommy... w/out her, i wouldn't even know myself..
The entire Lohan family is just sad and pathetic. The parents do share a lot of the responsibility. Michael Lohan comes off as a complete loser and embarrassment of a father. It would be hard to resist not disparaging his character to the media if you were his child. That said, Lindsay Lohan is an adult and needs to get her stuff together. She's 23-years old now and needs to start acting responsible, get the help she needs, and stop acting like such a hot mess!
Will the Lohan's ever stop airing their dirty laundry to the rest of the world? Are you on the side of Michael Lohan or Lindsay Lohan? Or do you think both of them have major problems to work on?

A New York Times Notable Book of 2007"A tremendous achievement."--The Sunday Times (London)
The Whisperers is a triumphant act of recovery. In this powerful work of history, Orlando Figes chronicles the private history of family life during the violent and repressive reign of Josef Stalin. Drawing on a vast collection of interviews and archives, The Whisperers re-creates the anguish of family members turned against one another--of the paranoia, alienation, and treachery that poisoned private life in Russia for generations. A panoramic portrait of a society in which everyone spoke in whispers, The Whisperers is "rigorously compassionate. . . . A humbling monument to the evil and endurance of Russia's Soviet past and, implicitly, a guide to its present" (The Economist).

But thanks to Figes, these survivors overcame their silence and have lifted their voices above a whisper."--The New York Times Book Review"A profound service . . . Figes redeems the gloom by demonstrating compassion for flawed human beings and revealing compelling examples of moral courage and kindness."--The Christian Science Monitor"An extraordinary work of synthesis and insight . . . an awfully good read . . . Figes is both a prodigious researcher and a gifted writer."--St. Petersburg Times"Lucid, thorough, and essential to understanding Stalinist society . . . an exemplary study in mentalits."--Kirkus Reviews"Extraordinary."--The New Yorker

A growing sense of dread
by Greg Krehbiel on 27 January 2013
I have a strong feeling that international tensions are going to boil over shortly — probably this year — and we're going to be in a heck of a mess.
I don't know if it will be Iraq or Syria or Mali or what, but when the United States steps back, bad guys step up.
It only took four years for Jimmy Carter to convince the world that the United States wasn't on the job any more. We're going to have eight years of Obama. That isn't going to work out well.
