Barbara Walters helped set the A List for 2011 into the pop culture historical records when she added the Kardashian sisters to her grade A list of the "most fascinating people" of the year. Will the famous news reporter admit her guilty pleasure is watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians?
USA Today has reported it, so it is official. Barbara Walters has officially added the Kardashian sisters to her famous faces list of the most fascinating people of 2011. The annual television special is scheduled to air Dec. 14 on ABC — if you have never watched one, the special (titled Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2011) promises to be just as interesting [and not interesting simultaneously] as all the others.
In 2010, Barbara Walters named and interviewed an unusual assortment of star celebs. Green celebrity names last year included eco-friendly Kate Middleton, famous humanitarian Sandra Bullock, pet friendly Betty White, and women's rights activist Jennifer Lopez. [She also catered to the general public when she had the cast of Jersey Shore on as listed guests -- you know... the health and fitness advocates who promote the routine of Gym, Tan, and Laundry?]
While many of her guests typically do have interesting lives and stories to tell, this year the Kardashian sisters have very little left to reveal about themselves.
Clearly, the biggest American news from the entertainment world this past year was about Kim Kardashian meeting, dating, getting engaged, marrying, and filing for divorce from NBA basketball player Kris Humphries. Humphries is expected to counter Kim's divorce request with a plea that the judge grant him an annulment. Feeling duped by the reality TV star (who seems only to have married him to make money and picked frightful fights with his so she could up-sell Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Kim And Kourtney Take New York), the not-so-verbally gentle giant wants his name untied legally from hers.
To counter the negative press he is likely to be generating for Kim K, sister Kourtney Kardashian went on the defensive and has actually granted US Weekly an exclusive story about her being pregnant with a second child by baby daddy Scott Disick. Even though Scott is clearly struggling with alcoholism and a narcissistic personality disorder, he and Kourtney make cute kids. Their son Mason is nearly 2 years old now — and the celebrity mom keeps herself so fit and trim that another pregnancy won't ruin her figure. [God forbid, the fashionista end up with a bigger butt than Kim.]
Now that the word is out that Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant again but Kim Kardashian is getting divorced, fans will certainly be looking to Khloe Kardashian to be the next member of the famous family to have a child. She and husband Lamar Odom (a basketball player like Humphries) have been having fun practicing, but now the pressure to get down to business will likely be on.
But having Barbara Walters name the famous sisters — who already have oodles of free press — to her list of most fascinating people? Seriously, Babs? The choice simply looks bad to many.
Because with all the under-reported stories about real life heroes and interesting people in the world, having reality television stars be featured seems like a ratings ploy by the network (if nothing else).
Yes, we talk about them here on GCN — but only because we really do try our best to give credit where credit is due. When the world reads about popular celebrities whose names are involved with scandals, people tend to get a skewed view. By focusing on their humanitarian work, eco-friendly activities, or pet friendly proclivities, we give props to star celebs who do good deed — while still responsibly reviewing the reports from rumor mills and celebrity gossip websites around the world to bring the latest news about Hollywood stars to you.
Reporting bad news is easy. Really researching and sharing good news is hard to do.
To that end, if Barbara Walters (who uses her star power to help raise money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation to promote Parkinson's Disease research) really did choose the Kardashian sisters to come on her show and talk about their lives, fame, fortune, and what they do, she has an opportunity. Let's hope she steers people watching to donate money to the same charities and non-profit organizations these famous women give their celebrity endorsement…that is, if understands what really happens on the show and admits to watching it, too.
Cheers to major media outlets who share good news.

my assumption was the 3 blokes were from london but selling drugs in southend and the only scenario i could see the copper getting robbed was an undercover cop was maybe either buying from them or was mugged by them. There has been alot of undercover work in essex lately dealing with the londoners flogging their wares around here, which i have to give them credit for as i have heard of quite a few local scumbags that have also been caught by them

The Iowa Department of Public Health say three strains of flu are currently circulating in Iowa.
Officials say the three strains -- H1N1 (2009 pandemic strain), H3N2 (regular seasonal flu strain), and Influenza B -- are all at a low activity level, but are all currently making people around the state sick.
The IDPH notes that, without a flu vaccination, you could become ill with the flu three different times.
Officials urge everyone to get the flu vaccine, which is widely available and covers all three strains of flu that have been detected.
"Simply put, the flu vaccine saves lives," said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk in a written statement. "We estimate an average of 300,000 Iowans get the flu every year and, together, flu and its complication of pneumonia are among the top 10 causes of death in Iowa. The most effective way to prevent influenza illness and death is the yearly flu vaccine."
Flu shots are recommended every year.
The IDPH said it's especially important to be vaccinated if you have regular contact with people more vulnerable to the complications of flu, including babies, children with asthma, and the elderly. Officials also recommend pregnant women be vaccinated to protect themselves, and to pass on some immunity to their baby.
To find out where the vaccine is available in your community, use the Flu Vaccine Finder at www.flu.gov/.

The iconic roller coaster that became a defining image in the wake of Sandy's aftermath is finally starting to come down.
The Jet Star Roller Coaster crashed into the ocean during the storm when the boardwalk pier beneath it collapsed back on Oct. 29.
Workers begin Tuesday, but the removal will probably take a couple of days.
The work began on the day that Britain's Prince Harry visited the area, touring some of the shoreline damaged by Hurricane Sandy. The prince has been in the U.S. since last Thursday.

Funding opportunities
Translating stem cells into ligaments for regenerative medicine
Funding Type:
Early Translational III
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 708 418
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
In California, over 12,000 people will rupture their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) this year. Most of these people will sacrifice one of their healthy ligaments in order to reconstruct the ACL in an effort to stabilize the knee and prevent arthritis. Even though the surgeries are usually successful at stabilizing the knee, most people who undergo this operation experience pain and a loss of function at the donor site. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop new clinical choices to replace damaged ligaments. We have recently developed the first engineered ligaments containing both the ligament and bone. The ligament is made from stem cells isolated from a patient's bone marrow, while the bone is made from the same calcium phosphate that makes up our skeleton. The ligaments are completely tailorable in their size and shape. Over the past 3 years, we have improved the ligament grafts to the point that they are ready for testing in appropriate animal models. This proposal will allow us to finalize the conditions in which to grow the grafts before implantation and assess their function once implanted. Upon successful completion of this work we will be close to reaching our goal of engineering ligament grafts to treat the thousands of Californians who must reconstruct their ACL each year.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Approximately 1 in 3,000 people in California will rupture their ACL this year and need it reconstructed. For patients with active professions, such as policemen, firemen, construction, and crop workers, ACL reconstruction will mean a minimum of 6-12 weeks out of work costing Californians millions of dollars. Currently, the only clinical option is to reconstruct the ACL using part of the patient's healthy patellar or hamstrings tendon (autografts) or a ligament taken from a cadaver (allografts). There are serious drawbacks to both autografts and allografts including donor tendon rupture and a 3-fold greater incidence of failure, respectively. Successful engineering of ligaments from bone marrow stromal cells would provide a novel clinical option and may accelerate return to activity resulting in easier rehabilitation, less time and money lost to disability, and an improved quality of life for tens of thousands of Californians annually.
Review Summary:
This Development Candidate Feasibility proposal is intended to provide preclinical proof of concept for an engineered ligament to repair ruptured ligaments. The applicant argues that current treatments of ligament rupture have limitations: autografts are successful but result in donor site morbidity while allograft ligaments from cadavers are less successful than autografts. The engineered construct proposed in this application will contain both ligament and bone to accelerate repair and a goal is to be equivalent in strength and collagen content to natural adult ligament. The ligament component is made from stem cells isolated from a patient's bone marrow, while the bone component of the construct is made from the same calcium phosphate that makes up our skeleton. The ligaments can be tailored in size and shape. The applicant proposes to optimize the cell source, finalize the chemical and mechanical conditions in which to grow the grafts before implantation, and assess graft function in a preclinical model. Objective and Milestones - Reviewers were unclear on the differences in what appeared to be redundancy between experiments already conducted to produce the preliminary data and proposed studies in the application. - Reviewers were unclear on how the proposed milestones would be used as gating parameters to determine how the project will proceed. Rationale and Significance - Reviewers were not convinced that there was sufficient rationale for developing a costly tissue engineered product to compete with currently available surgical solutions. - The concept of developing a mature, implantable ligament within the intended four-week timeframe was viewed as potentially significant, but the feasibility was questioned. Research Project Feasibility and Design - Intention to achieve ligament with tensile strength and composition equivalent to human tissue was not viewed as realistic based on the preliminary data. The target product profile and experimental design should also include minimum acceptable targets for these key parameters. - Reviewers criticized the experimental design for not including gait improvement as an outcome of the proposed large animal study. - The integration of the ligament with bone was considered novel and viewed favorably by the reviewers. Qualification of the PI (Co-PI and Partner PI, if applicable) and Research Team - The PI has a strong background in tissue engineering though s/he does not seem to have experience in translational research. - The team composition was viewed as appropriate. Collaborations, Assets, Resources and Environment - The budget was viewed as appropriate. - Excellent facilities and resources were available at the PI's institution. Responsiveness to the RFA - There were some concerns expressed about responsiveness to the RFA as to whether a human stem cell is necessary, depending upon the results of the first aim which proposes to compare fibroblasts and stem cells.
Programmatic review:
- A motion was made to move this application from Tier 2 into Tier 3 (Not Recommended for Funding). Reviewers noted that the proposal has a number of flaws and were not convinced that the application addressed a major unmet medical need since surgical solutions are already available. The motion carried.

Tim Hudson was rudely denied his 200th career win by the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight. Hudson, making his first bid for win #200 since beating Washington for win #199 last Saturday, was not sharp from the get go. The Bucs hit Hudson early and often tonight as Wandy Rodriguez shut down the vaunted Braves offensive machine over 7 innings to pick up his 2nd win.
Hudson looked shaky from the first inning, as he gave up a line drive double off the wall to Travis Snider in the second at-bat of the game. Hudson managed to coax loud line drive outs from Andrew McCutchen and Garrett Jones, but the Pirates weren't missing anything.
Hudson's luck ran out the following inning, as Neil Walker led off the 2nd with a triple. Justin Upton misplayed the ball, but it was a scalded hit. Pedro Alvarez - who smashed a monster home run last night - gave Pirate fans an encore, smacking Hudson's very next pitch over the right field wall for a two run homer. Back to back doubles from Russell Martin and Jose Tabata made it 3-0 Pirates in the 2nd before Hudson got out of the inning.
That 3-0 score would hold until the 5th, when Hudson fell apart completely. Hudson led off the inning by walking Jose Tabata on 5 pitches. Travis Snider followed with a clean single to right. Hudson then walked Andrew McCutchen, loading the bases with no one out. Fredi opted to leave Hudson in to face Garrett Jones, who stroked a 2 RBI single to right on a 1-0 pitch, making it 5-0 and spelling the end of the night for the Braves' veteran righty.
Anthony Varvaro came in, and did a great job of damage control, allowing only 1 inherited runner to score on a passed ball 3rd strike by Gerald Laird.
On the other side, Wandy Rodriguez was marvelous for the Pirates, tossing 7 innings of 1 hit ball. Rodriguez didn't walk a batter and struck out 5, the only blemish on his otherwise-perfect night coming on a Jason Heyward single.
B.J. Upton was ejected by Braves' fan favorite Sam Holbrook in the 7th inning. After taking a called third strike, Upton said a few words to Holbrook and began walking back towards the dugout. Holbrook turned to put in his two cents as well, then waved his hand dismissively at Upton, shooing him back to the dugout. B.J. took exception to Holbrook's gesture and went back to tell him so, getting tossed in the process.
Atlanta will look to bounce back tomorrow against struggling Pirates righty James McDonald. Paul Maholm will take the hill for Atlanta, looking to improve on his 3-0 record.

Anti-HS2 group wants property bonds from Govt
A spokesman for the anti-HS2 group that was successful in its High Court case over the compensation consultation suggested that the Government should issue property bonds:
We don't have a value for what the compensation bill will be.
One way for the Government to help would be to issue property bonds to ensure the housing market remains liquid.
Existing owners may have to sell at a discount because of the blight.
But bonds could be issued to ensure the person buying would have a guarantee that the Government would make up the difference if the price fell below a certain level.
– HS2AA spokesman Richard Houghton
This could help prevent people being unable to sell and remaining trapped in their homes for a long period of time when a change in their circumstances, such as a change of job, required them to sell.

The Memphis Park Naming Committee held its first meeting on Friday. They discussed renaming the confederate-themed parks once again.
MORE: City Council renames Confederate parks
It was a quick meeting and everyone on the committee had strong opinions. Some of them are embracing the city's Civil War history. Others want to put that history into context.
The Committee is tasked with recommending new names for Three Memphis Parks.
"It's got to reflect the history of all Memphians and not just one particular group," says Beverly Bond.
The group of seven is made up of community leaders, historians and professors.
Doug Cupples says, "I think we've got one of the most fascinating histories of any city in this country and our local history and I want to add to it. I don't want to be taking away from it."
Earlier this year, the City Council decided to rename three Memphis parks: Confederate Park, Jefferson Davis Park and Forrest Park, which is named after Nathaniel Bedford Forrest, a confederate general, slave trader and grand wizard of the KKK.
That set off a firestorm and the controversial debate continued between committee leaders, including this back and forth between Keith Norman and Jimmy Ogle.
Keith Norman: "It does not represent who we are, it did not represent who we were at the turn of the century it does not represent who we are as a city now."
Jimmy Ogle: "Are you referring to he founded the KKK? Is that what you're referring to?"
Keith Norman: "His affiliation."
Jimmy Ogle: "Ok, well he didn't found it. I think that's a common mis… big misperception, he was not the founder of the KKK and there's been other versions of the KKK."
Keith Norman: "The grand wizard at one point."
Jimmy Ogle: "But he did not found the KKK."
Keith Norman: "Ok, but he was highly esteemed by the KKK. So much so that they honored him with being the first grand wizard."
Jimmy Ogle: "And it was a different mission of the KKK at the time than what we're seeing now."
Keith Norman: "Well that stands to be debated because at the time in which that KKK was founded. We understand that he denounced whatever later on. But the issue here is that it is the KKK, he was the grand wizard."
The debates continued. The committee members went on to discuss topics like origins of the Civil War.
But, the City Council members chairing the group encouraged them to put their personal opinions aside.
"Our mission is bigger than our own opinions and that's what we have to remember," says Councilman Harold Collins.

About Me Senior
My sister and I always love to play Yahtzee, but they are hard to find in the stores they don't make the hand held ones and when we did find one they were very expensive, they just don't make things like the used to. That is why when I saw the product in your book I wanted it but when I got it it was way to small, I was very disappointed. I did not like the price either, but my sister wanted one.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

It has been long speculated by industry analysts and punters alike, but several credible publications are now corroborating word from reported insiders that both the Sony's next PlayStation console, and Microsoft's next Xbox are due to arrive this holiday season.
The Wall Street Journal purports to have it on good authority that Sony's February 20th "PlayStation Meeting" event in Manhattan will indeed be the big reveal of their new device, currently codenamed PlayStation Orbis, and Polygon outlines reported plans for Microsoft's big Xbox reveal "this Spring" (Autumn for us South-landers, and a window that aligns with the April rumours we've previously heard), with both new consoles expected to have a wider showing at the E3 2013 event in June.
Of course, this is all intel pertaining to a North American debut, and console launches in other regions, from both manufactures have typically trailed in the past. So while it's now looking pretty certain that Santa will have a lot of new PlayStation and Xbox consoles for American boys and girls for Christmas 2013, we probably won't know for a while if Australians will be waiting until the new year.
Finally, a separate report over on Edge claims to have some new details on the next PlayStation's controller, describing a unit "the same size as an existing DualShock", but with a touchpad in the centre that uses the same tech as the PS Vita's rear pad, and a new share button for distributing images and videos recorded on the system, alleging that "The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action".

All pools at local YMCA facilities were closed on Thursday, this comes on the heels of a nine-year-old who drowned in Euclid.
Sonya Smith has lost her only child. "He was my best friend. He was my light," she said.
"He was a sweetheart. We all loved him. He was a joy, always happy," said the victim's aunt, Sherrie Akins.
Nine-year-old Lonnie Smith was at the Euclid YMCA with a group from Always Available Daycare. He was pulled from the bottom of the pool by one of three lifeguards on duty and the staff there are devastated.
"Quite honestly they're having a very difficult time. We never want to lose a child. We take that responsibility very, very seriously," said YMCA Rep Rick Haase.
Haase says they've brought in a water safety expert and are conducting an internal investigation to help police determine what happened to Lonnie. And their aquatics team is looking into possible changes in the wake of the tragedy.
"We are meeting with them to reiterate all our policies and procedures so they're followed to the letter so that this kind of thing never happens again," Haase said.
But it's already too late for Lonnie.
"I have my ups and downs. Some moments are good. Some moments aren't. But with the help of family and friends and The Lord, we'll get through," said Smith.

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Atlanta Braves outfielder Jason Heyward may miss the rest of the regular season due to a fractured right jaw he suffered in Wednesday's 4-1, 10-inning victory over the New York Mets.
Heyward was hurt in the top of the sixth inning after taking a pitch from Jon Niese to the side of his face.
X-rays taken at a local hospital showed Heyward's jaw was fractured in two places. He is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks.
Heyward, who has been on a tear since being moved to the leadoff spot last month, is hitting .253 with 13 homers and 37 RBI for the first-place Braves, who hold a double-digit lead in the NL East.

Jamal Crawford has been something else in the NBA Playoffs, averaging almost 24 points a game in the Atlanta Hawks' 2-1 series lead over the Orlando Magic. With Al Horford struggling to make a big impact on the scoreboard and Dwight Howard continuing to dominate the paint, Atlanta needed superlative performance from its guards to survive this series. The Hawks have gotten just that; Crawford has led the way from the bench, shooting almost 60 percent from long-range and scoring a point for every 75 seconds on the floor. Joe Johnson has been great, too, averaging 20 points, 5.7 rebounds and five assists a game.
And somehow, some way, a team that lost four straight to the Magic by an average of 25 points last year is up 2-1, with a real chance to win this series.
It's a magical turn of events, though the Magic would describe it as nightmarish. It's hard to pin the reversal on just a couple factors, but the shooting of Crawford and Johnson sure matter. Each shot well below 40 percent in last year's postseason, which included a grueling first-round series against the Bucks. Orlando's perimeter defense has certainly suffered due to trades and free agency; Mickael Pietrus and Matt Barnes, in particular, were vital pieces in Stan Van Gundy's rotation, each contributing much more than, say, Jason Richardson, Gilbert Arenas and Hedo Turkoglu on defense. The moves to shed Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter are coming home to roost for Orlando, a little earlier than expected.
But that's only part of it. Atlanta's defense has shut down Orlando's three-point shooting; the Magic have hit just 19-of-99 from long-range. Given how many threes the Magic put up, this is untenable. The Hawks have made a point to stay at home on Orlando's top gunners, and it's working. Howard is averaging 33 points per game on 67 percent shooting, sure. But the Magic are shooting 19 percent from long-range. That trade-off is working beautifully.
Better shooting, better three-point prevention -- is it that simple? Are we underrating Larry Drew's impact? Is Kirk Hinrich's defense on Jameer Nelson -- as compared to that of Mike Bibby last year -- the difference-maker? The Atlanta Hawks have created a very long list of questions!
If they win again on Sunday, the questions will shift to Orlando, along with the series. This is not a good time for the Magic to crumble, not with the abhorrent rumors about Dwight's future already hanging like a bad stench. The Magic need to pull something from up their sleeves to reverse this series and get back on track.
Be sure to check out our Magic vs. Hawks hub for full series coverage. For more on the Magic, visit Orlando Pinstriped Post. For more on the Hawks, visit Peachtree Hoops and SB Nation Atlanta.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - It's been more than three years since Ocilla school teacher Tara Grinstead vanished. Theories about what happened to her abound. And now, a man has posted a video on the Internet claiming responsibility for her disappearance.
In the video, he claimed to be a serial killer; even though he's since said it was a just a game, the GBI is still checking him out.
His face is blurred, his voice distorted, yet his message is clear. "If you want to play the game you'll find everything you want to find. All the clues will be right there you just have to play the game."
"Catchmekiller", as the man in this video calls himself, wants to play a game, giving clues that he says will lead to the bodies of the 16 people he claims to have murdered.
"In the middle of the second wet spot, you'll find your second clue," he said.
"It was just a horrible, horrible thing for him to do and the way that he did it, just so graphic in his details," said Anita Gattis, Tara Grinstead's big sister.
She says "catchmekiller" makes her sick, but some of his clues also intrigue her... like one involving a ring. "He did have some interesting details to me, because there is a ring missing of Tara's and that's not something, I don't think, was public knowledge."
So is "catchmekiller" responsible for Tara Grinstead's disappearance? When asked, "Do you think he killed Tara?" Gattis replied, "No I don't."
Rather, Gattis believes Tara died at the hands of someone she knew. "I don't think he had anything to do with this, but this is someone's family that this guy's screwing around with. This is not just some obscure game as he's wanting to call it."
And the search for Tara isn't over. Gattis says she won't stop looking until she finds Tara. She said, "I don't know that there's ever going to be closure because of the horrendous act that's happened, but we want answers and we definitely need accountability for someone that's done this. We definitely want her found and we want to know who did it and what happened."
And even though she doesn't believe "catchmekiller" is responsible for her sister's death, she wants him held accountable for his actions too, and his game, brought to an end.
After a report of the Catchmekiller aired in Orlando, the man posting videos called that TV station and told them it was a murder mystery clue game and that he's never killed anyone.
Even though the man in the video said he did nothing wrong, law enforcement agencies in Georgia and Florida are still investigating to make sure. They want to know if Catchmekiller is a psychopath or if he's just got a twisted sense of humor.

French historian Alain Danielou had noticed as early as 1950 that "a great number of events which surround the birth of Christ - as it is related in the Gospels - strangely reminded us of Buddha's and Krishna's legends." Danielou quotes as examples the structure of the Christian Church, which resembles that of the Buddhist Chaitya; the rigorous asceticism of certain early Christian sects, which reminds one of the asceticism of Jain and Buddhist saints; the veneration of relics, the usage of holy water, which is an Indian practice, and the word "Amen," which comes from the Hindu (Sanskrit) "OM."
Another historian, Belgium's Konraad Elst, also remarks "that many early Christian saints, such as Hippolytus of Rome, possessed an intimate knowledge of Brahmanism." Elst even quotes the famous Saint Augustine who wrote: "We never cease to look towards India, where many things are proposed to our admiration."
Unfortunately, remarks American Indianist David Frawley, "from the second century onwards, Christian leaders decided to break away from the Hindu influence and show that Christianity only started with the birth of Christ." Hence, many later saints began branding Brahmins as "heretics," and Saint Gregory set a future trend by publicly destroying the "pagan" idols of the Hindus.
Great Indian sages, such as Sri Aurobindu and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of the Art of Living, have often remarked that the stories recounting how Jesus came to India to be initiated are probably true. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar notes, for instance, that Jesus sometimes wore an orange robe, the Hindu symbol of renunciation of the world, which was not a usual practice in Judaism. "In the same way," he continues, "the worshiping of Virgin Mary in Catholicism is probably borrowed from the Hindu cult of Devi." Bells too, which cannot be found today in Synagogues, the surviving form of Judaism, are used in church-and we all know their importance in Buddhism and Hinduism for thousands of years, even up to the present day.
There are many other similarities between Hinduism and Christianity, including the use of incense, sacred bread (prasadam), the different altars around churches (which recall the manifold deities in their niches inside Hindu temples), reciting prayers on the rosary (Vedic japamala), the Christian Trinity (the ancient Vedic trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva as the creator, maintainer and destroyer respectively, as well as Lord Krishna as the Supreme Lord, the all-pervading Brahman as the holy ghost, and Paramatma as the expansion or son of the Lord), Christian processions, and the use of the sign of the cross (anganyasa), and so many others.

Post-Trip Extension - Rome
2 nights for only $345*
Two nights at the Visconti Palace Hotel
Daily breakfast
City Information
Airport transfers
Discover the Eternal City at your leisure as you spend two nights in Italy's timeless capital. History, art and architecture abound, from Greek sculpture to Roman ruins. Marvel at the grandeur of the Vatican, where St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel await. Stroll through the ancient ruins of the Roman Forum and the Coliseum. Take time to walk up the Spanish Steps, toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain to ensure your return to Rome, or just spend a relaxing afternoon at a quiet outdoor café. Many attractions are within walking distance of your centrally located hotel.
Only available with the Air-Inclusive Package.
Single supplement: $195
*Please note: For those traveling in 2015, Post-trip Rome is $395, single supplement is $195.
Day 1 - Remain in Rome for your optional extension
Spend today exploring the city on your own. You can step out of Italy while you're still in Rome with a visit to the Vatican, an independent state. The Vatican museums are filled with magnificent art that goes far beyond such well-known pieces as the Pieta and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling. An optional guided visit can be booked the day before at our hospitality desk.
NOTE: Italian museums are closed on Mondays. Vatican museums are closed on Sundays, since they are in Vatican State.
Day 2 - Independent exploration of Rome
Today's opportunities are endless. You might visit the Forum, the political and commercial center of ancient Rome when the empire was at its greatest power. Various emperors constructed the temples, monuments and other buildings here over a period of nine centuries. Today you can still see the Curia where the Roman Senate met. Take a walk up the Palatine Hill, where tradition says the first settlers of Rome built their huts under the direction of Romulus, and which was later the home of Caligula, Nero, Tiberius and Domitian. Tour Rome's famous Catacombs, located in tunnels carved out of rock along the Via Appia ("Appian Way"). Or spend an idyllic afternoon in the gardens of the Villa Borghese, one of Europe's most elegant parks. And by all means, do as the Romans do—sip espresso, savor Italian wine and, even in the middle of the rush of modern European life, take the time to enjoy
la dolce vita
. After a full day of independent exploration, retire to your hotel or perhaps enjoy one of Rome's fine restaurants.
An optional walking tour of Ancient Rome is available today. Highlights include the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Capitolio, Marcello Theater and the Jewish Ghetto. This two-hour program may be booked with your VBT hotel representative upon arrival in Rome (it may not be booked in advance of travel). The approximate price is 30 euro per person and includes the services of our local English-speaking guide.
Day 3 - Rome Extension concludes / Depart for U.S.
After breakfast* you will transfer to the Rome airport (approximately 40-60 minutes depending upon traffic) for your departing flight. Please ensure you are waiting in the hotel reception area at the designated time**.
*Please note: For guests with early-morning departures, breakfast at the hotel may not be available. Please check with the front desk to verify the times that breakfast is served.
**Please note: VBT recommends that you check your transfer time in your "Transfer Reminder." VBT transfer times and departure points are finalized in advance and cannot be modified for individual guests. If you extend your stay beyond the scheduled program dates, return transportation to the airport will be at your own expense.

This little alleyway is popular with local graffiti artists, and regularly goes through updates so I'm sure this visage is no longer quite the same now! I'd love to transport myself back there now and see what stands in its place.

A.Henri de Marne,
a consultant on light-frame buildings in Waitsfield, Vt.,
responds:What is probably happening is that interior
moisture is being carried by air convection through the joints in the
T&G planking, the rigid insulation, and the rafters, and is
condensing on the underside of the new sheathing. From there, it drips down
through the joints of the same components back into the living
There are some changes you can make to this assembly that
should prevent the problem. The first thing you should do is to
install a 6-mil plastic vapor retarder over the roof side of
the T&G plank ceiling. This will stop the convection of
moisture-laden air into the roof cavity. This should be done
preferably in one piece. If that's not feasible, start
from the bottom and overlap the upper sheets by several inches,
then tape the joints.
The second problem with your assembly is that you are
placing the rafters directly over the T&G deck and laying
the rigid insulation between them. It would be much more
efficient to lay the rigid insulation directly over the
decking, thus minimizing the joints between materials and
increasing energy efficiency by eliminating the short circuits
provided by the rafters. Good-quality extruded polystyrene foam
has plenty of compressive strength to handle a roof load.
On future jobs, instead of rafters, use 2x3 sleepers on edge
24 inches on-center, and fasten them to the deck with long
screws. If you mark the location of the beams below, the screws
can be driven without concern about coming through the ceiling.
With shallower-pitch roofs, a 1-inch penetration into the roof
decking should be sufficient as long as you put enough screws
in. With steeper pitches, you should provide greater
penetration and use strapping across the ridge.
Finally, you should provide continuous ventilation on the
underside of the plywood. Extend the tails of the sleepers 3
inches beyond the existing fascia, install a new fascia, and
provide soffit ventilation by means of an off-the-shelf
ventilation strip. You should also install an externally
baffled ridge vent such as Shinglevent II at the ridge.

24 Hours in Dubai
The most famous of the seven Arab Emirates, Dubai is a glossy, cosmopolitan destination that's rarely shy of attention. Dubai offers travellers a heady mix of east and west combining a glamorous nightlife scene with strict Islamic laws. It's an exciting combination that, together with inventive man-made attractions and a stunning desert landscape, has made Dubai one super hot destination. Perhaps its only rival is the city of Abu Dhabi. Simply spend 24 hours in Abu Dhabi to find out why. See Essential Travel's round-the-clock guide to get the most out of Dubai and discover where to smoke a sheesha, shop for gold, enjoy a meal with a view or snowboard inside a shopping centre.
The Montgomerie, Dubai
This two hundred acre course is the perfect place to start the day. There are fourteen lakes and more than seventy bunkers on its beautifully undulating fairways and greens. The course is an epic challenge for amateur golfers as well as an exciting place for beginners to learn.
- Address: Sheikh Zayed Road
- Tel: +971 4 390 5600
- Website: www.themontgomerie.com
Shakespeare & Co
This chic (in a granny sort of way) little eatery has something for everyone. There's a family friendly vibe (despite the opportunity to smoke a sheesha out on the terrace), patisserie treats and a dining menu. The breakfasts are something special with Western options, Lebanese specials and a crepe menu.
- Address: Al Attar Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road
- Tel: +971 4 329 1040
- Website: www.shakespeareandco.ae
Al Mamzar Beach Park
This popular beach is less crowded than the famous Jumeirah Beach Park and can be a peaceful getaway during the week (except Fridays, which is the first day of the weekend). A clutch of beaches, green picnic areas, an amphitheatre, children's playgrounds and even two swimming pools make it an excellent destination for families on a warm day.
- Address: Near Hamriya Port in the Deira area
Dubai's Man-Made Islands
Dubai's love of lavish spectacle has resulted in some of the most incredible man-made sights in the world. It may be superficial, but you can't help marvel at Dubai's ingenuity. There's Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira as well as The World (which, from above, looks like a world map) and Palm Jumeirah. The latter palm tree shaped cluster of islands can be reached from the Jumeirah coast and features water park Aquaventure, underwater tunnels - The Lost Chambers (sort of a spectacular marine centre) - and Dolphin Bay where you can play with the finned creatures. All the islands (except exclusive hotel resorts and privately owned islands) offer restaurants, bars, spas and activities.
- Address: Al Attar Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road
- Tel: +971 4 329 1040
- Website: www.atlantisthepalm.com
Bastakia Quarter
This labyrinth of narrow alleys has been declared a conservation area and is where you'll find traditional architecture and restored buildings sporting original features such as wind-towers (an early form of air conditioning). Set on the waterfront, east of Bur Dubai Souq, the Bastakia Quarter is a lovely place to explore when the beaches and bars get too much.
- Address: Within the Bur Dubai area
Champagne Brunch at Fairmont
The Spectrum On One restaurant at the Fairmont Hotel is said to be the pioneer of the popular 'Champagne brunch' in Dubai. Ladies who lunch, business men and couples all love to indulge in this Dubai pastime and the Fairmont offers an unlimited pouring of Möet & Chandon Champagne accompanied by as much food as you can eat!
- Address: Sheikh Zayed Road

Gold Souk
This gold market is an Aladdin's cave! Expect gold, gold and more gold in the shape of jewellery, tea sets, ornaments and more. There are more than 300 jewellers here and most offer a range of stones and precious metals beyond gold too. The quality comes as standard as officials aim to keep control over fake gold and shonky sellers.
- Address: Near Ascot Hotel, Khalid Bin Waleed Road, Bur Dubai
- Website: Dubai Gold Souk
Al Wasl Cruising & Fishing
Enjoy gorgeous views of Dubai's coast line and sail around its man-made islands on a gentle cruise. Some tour companies even offer fishing opportunities and dining on board.
- Website: We recommend www.cruiseindubai.com
Al Diyafah Road
Dubai is well known for its glamorous cafes and top end restaurants, but if you'd rather have a more down to earth experience, head to Al Dhiyafah Road. It's here you'll find street food, informal eateries and a wealth of cultural diversity from Lebanese cuisine to Indian delights as well as traditional Gulf food.
- Address: Al Diyafah Road or Al Dhiyafah Road
Dubai Museum

- Address: Al Fahidi Street, Bur Dubai
- Tel: +971 4 353 1862
- Website: www.definitelydubai.com
Burj Al Arab
Burj Al Arab is one of Dubai's original statements of excess. The 'seven star' hotel has a distinctive exterior (that's been likened to a ship's sail) and towers high as one of the world's tallest hotels. Room prices start at a staggering £700 at night. If your budget doesn't stretch that far, admire the architecture from Umm Suqeim beach or Bahri Bar next door. Alternatively, enjoy a cocktail on the top floor bar, or a meal at beach side restaurant, Majlis Al Bahar.
- Address: Beach Road, Jumeirah
- Tel: +971 4 301 7777
- Website: www.jumeirah.com
Wild Wadi Waterpark
Though smaller in scale than Aquaventure (see 9am), Wild Wadi is still a must for adventurous water lovers. Expect artificial waves for wannabe surfers, calmer pools and slides for toddlers plus Jumeirah Sceirah - a 33 metre long slide with almost a sheer drop on which you can slide as fast as 80km an hour.

The centre holds a cinema, the Dubai Community Theatre & Arts Centre (see 9pm), an indoor theme park and arcade, plus Ski Dubai - an indoor ski resort where you can ski and snowboard among other wintry activities.
