Just ticked one thing out of my bucket list last weekend.. Surfing!
I have been excited over the week because of this trip. Last year bessie wancho and I planned for this, but well.. we love planning. I just wished we thought of putting a little action to it. haha. Anyway, this getaway is basically for us girlfriends who wants to make most of our life while we're still single. Its my first out-of-town trip with this set. After our shift that morning, me and my gal pals; Kat, Dee and Caren hurriedly went out to meet up with kat's other set of friends. They hired a van going to San Juan, La union. We just pitched in 500 Php each for a ride going to LU. Almost the same rate as to commuting in a bus. #lucky. :D :D :D
The ride took almost 6 hours! Imagine the bliss I felt when I saw the signage of San Juan Surf School. Indescribable.
When we first got in some of the girls were already at the porch area, I thought they were just so eager to see the beach. They were all giddying in a certain area and when we decided to join them I went all gaga as well when I saw my long time crush luke landrigan!
We were all just looking from afar.. kala namen hanggang dun na lang kame.. not until after dinner when this wet gorge surfer passed by us and talked to one of our friends, nerisse. She then introduced us to Ze Luke Landrigan and we took individual photos with him *kilig*
luke: pasensya na ha basa ako..
me: okay lang luke.. basain mo lang akooooo :D
(when you're so kilig and you say things in a different way *krook* *krook*)
After boozing up a little, kat and caren felt dizzy right away and slept that night ~cough*boring*cough~, while Dee and I boozed some more with the other girls. After a few drinks, we decided to walk along the beach. When we were about to go back, a girl from a certain group called us and offered a beer. Hey, who are we to say no right? They invited an Israeli, two Koreans, four Chinese, there were also Canadians who dropped by. It was fun! :)
korean banat number 1
- koreyano: can we work?
- me: huh?
- koreyano: work :)
- me: why?
- koreyano: can you work with me? (walking)
- me: ahhh! walk! to naman! *toinks*
korean banat number 2
- koreyano: I'm sorry I forgot your name, what's that again?
- me: sha.
- koreyano: (smiled) it should be shine..
- me: why?
- koreyano: because you're beautiful
*krook* *krook*
*walang konek* hehe
We went back to our room at around 1am cox of course we need energy for our surfing lessons that morning.
We brought spanish sardines! Hihi.. aside from that of course we already have complimentary breakfast for two since we availed a room in san juan resort. After breakfast we visited San Juan Surf Shop cox I wanted to buy a rashguard bilang ayokong mahubaran habang nagsusurf :-P
I super looooove the shop! it is evident that luke's better half noelle, has an eye for art. I love every detail of the shop, surf boards, photos, decorations.. lovely! :)
(photos from the shop are by katerina manlongat) :)
I did not buy any rash guard cox they'll lend you one once you'll rent their surfboards :)
Rental fee for surf board: 200p/hour and 400p if you want to rent the board for a half day.
Instructor's fee: 200p/ hour
Overall I enjoyed the trip. I love the place, it is just so convenient if you want a simple getaway to shake off stress from Manila plus it's not too pricey! I love the people, they are so nice and friendly.
And for those who's wondering why I dont have a photo "twerking" on a surf board (hehe).. hindi ko po kinaya.. I only lasted 2 seconds standing on the board. teehee. Sabi ko nga magdro-drawing na lang ako, bat kasi naghahanap pa ng ibang passion eh galit ang dagat saken. haha! But I encourage you to try surfing, my other friends were so good at it and got stoked. I just wished my bessie wancho was there as well, he'll be good at this for sure! :)
eto na nga para sumaya kayo!

Coco Rocha attended the 2013 Melbourne Cup in Australia on Tuesday.
The model chose one of Peter Pilotto's Fall 2013 dresses — a red, black, and white-printed number complete with exaggerated cape-inspired shoulders, a high neck, and a split-front skirt.
Let's be honest, though. The dress may be a focal point, but this is really an outfit driven by hat choice, and Coco didn't disappoint in hers. She wore a netted black Nerida Winter bow headpiece that complemented the structure and print of her Peter Pilotto dress despite its quirky Mickey Mouse-esque shape.
Do you think her styling worked for Melbourne Cup Day?

My favorite pre-game take on the Governor's Cup battle came from a rabbi at one of the local synagogues. Yesterday was Rosh Hashonah, the first full day of the Jewish High Holidays. Kidding both Cardinal and Cat fans in his congregation, he mentioned how both have always wanted their teams to play on New Year's Day, but who'd have figured, he asked rhetorically, that it would be the Jewish New Year? Lemme hear some shofar, please!
And there were more than a few wags pointing out before kickoff how Mitch Barnhart undermined his Wildcats by moving the game to Week Three. How easily might UK have won had this been the opening game, when it clearly had a superior team?
As for the aftermath of the game, a gutty UK win despite trying to hand it to the visitors on a Big Blue platter, there are two issues for U of L fans: 1) Has U of L improved, and 2) Were there any signs that Kragthorpe has the team turning the corner toward eventual success?
It is clear that Louisville was an improved team yesterday. Hell, they probably have better players at the skill positions and should have won the game. Justin Burke, Scott Long, Victor Anderson and Doug Beaumont are all the equal or better than their UK counterparts. Where Kentucky is clearly superior is on the offensive and defensive lines. U of L didn't come close to a sack, or to dominating the run game when it had the ball.
U of L was ready and focused and played an inspired game.
The problem comes with perspective. UK will be nip and tuck for .500 this year. What Rich Brooks does is amazing with the talent he gets. But one must never confuse the Wildcats with a really good football team. So U of L should be proud they played their biggest rival tough, but understand this wasn't one of the nation's better squads that beat them.
One guy's take is this: There was nothing apparent yesterday to indicate that Steve Kragthorpe will ever be able to lead this team back to the upper echelon. Which is where it was when he arrived. His offense is pedestrian. His in-game decision making is questionable. The number of delay penalties and misuse of timeouts because of slow play calling indicates a lack of organization that has been apparent since his first game as Louisville coach. His kickoff team made two horrible gaffes in a row, resulting in a UK TD. (And while it is not directly indicated by yesterday's loss, his recruiting remains for the most part run of the mill; his ability to coach 'em up yet to be seen.)
The coach was pissed after game, losing his religion in his press conference, lashing out at the media for no apparent reason and responding curtly to the questions asked. Well, good for him. That kind of passion is necessary to develop a winner. Problem is he hasn't displayed the other necessary characteristics that also must be present for ongoing success.
And so it goes. The Cards almost gave their fans something to smile about. But they didn't. U of L got the ball three times in the 3d quarter inside UK territory, had big gains on the first plays of the drives and came away with but 6 points. That's some sorry offensive football.
With a daunting task coming up this week at Utah, the hand wringing will continue. Fans will wonder if the improvement shown is to the level Tom Jurich is looking for to keep this coach that many in the fan base have already given up on?
Those looking for just some hint of resolution to the Kragthorpe quandary woke up this morning with the same queasy stomach they've had since he arrived.

DAMASCUS, GA (WALB) – A south Georgia city council member is behind bars, after a heated meeting ended with a scuffle Tuesday afternoon.
Damascus city council member Gloria Ann Roberts-McMurray was in the Early County jail Tuesday night, and she will likely be charged with several crimes Wednesday.
We're told McMurray was arguing with council member Phyllis Kraft, at a meeting to discuss the cost to rebuild the city's broken pump station.
City clerk Gloria Wynds tried to separate the women and was knocked down. Her knee was injured, but she's recovering.
McMurray left the meeting and was later picked up by police at her home.

You Do What You Can, Fall Break 2013
Fall break was a short but much needed holiday. The long weekend offered me the opportunity to temporarily shift attention and cater to other interests in my life – value-investing and community engagement. The former refers to a long-term investing method that I hope to personally master, while the latter refers to the many volunteering opportunities that I hope to seek and capitalize on while in Worcester. Given the brevity of the break, I shall make this post a relatively short one.
Unified Sports and Jeremiahs Inn
Saturday morning, the Clark Unified Sports club hosted a range of games at the President's Inn Field, where Clarkies could interact and play with special needs children. Given my history of handling the notorious ones, I was put in a charge of a little rascal by the name of Nate. Throughout the day, we did a range of drills including penalty shootouts and dribbling. The finale included a 5 on 5 soccer scrimmage where I was positioned as the red team's goalkeeper and brutally scored on by Nate himself.
Monday morning, the ASB team of Clark invited students to visit Jeremiah's Inn (a residential recovery home for men rehabbing from drug usage) on Main Street and help with any maintenance needs the facility requires. I was delegated the duty of cleaning and polishing the doors, while others were in charge of window washing and carpet cleansing. As you can see below, I made sure the doors were spotless:
Given my ambitions of mastering the techniques of value investing, I borrowed on Saturday what is recognized by Warren Buffett to be "the best book on investing ever written," the Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. Though I am barely done reading the book, I can already see the reasons for its worldwide acclaim. The book was published in 1949, but its lessons still apply to the world of investments today.

I know I haven't posted a review in what seems like forever. This is what is known on twitter as an #emmafail. Sincerely sorry. I've been doing a lot of reading, but my rereading of A Great and Terrible Beauty has sort of halted this, because I have been busy with school work and my dad's social life and oh yeah this, BUT NEVER MIND. Also, A Great and Terrible Beauty is gorgeous and I will save the in love giggling for my rereview. NOW. Give up The Ghost!
Dust Jacket Description:
Cass McKenna much prefers ghosts over "breathers". Ghosts are uncomplicated and dependable, and they know the dirt on everybody... and Cass loves dirt. She's on a mission to expose the dirty secrets of the poseurs in her school.
But when the vice president of the student council discovers her secret, Cass's whole scheme hangs in the balance. Tim wants her to help him contact his recently deceased mother, and Cass reluctantly agrees.
As Cass becomes increasingly entwined in Tim's life, she's surprised to realize he's not so bad — and he needs help more desperately than anyone else suspects. Maybe it's time to give the living another chance...
Characters: Cass was ridiculously delight. Protagonists are usually not bitter, and even if they are, they come around in the end. Cass was realistic and vengeful about being mistreated in middle school. There was something so new about a character who allowed herself to be angsty and upset. Tim was okay, obviously mourning over his mother's death, and since that took over him I really didn't get a good sense of his character. I loved how Cass and Tim weren't a couple. In the YA book world, it seems impossible to have a guy friend who isn't in love with the girl protagonist or the girl has to lust after another boy. It was nice to see this rule broken. The characters in this book were in a word, refreshing. 4 flowers.
Writing: Simple and fitting of the novel. 4 flowers.
Plot: No real subplots, just a very streamlined novel about Cass helping Tim with his mom. 4 flowers.
Originality: It's not a particularly creative idea, but it's executed well. 4 flowers.
Ending: Ties up all loose ends, and makes me wonder if they'll be a sequel. 4 flowers.
Dust Jacket Description: Sums the book up, but I feel like it's misleading Tim and Cass's relationship. 3 and a half flowers.
Cover: Fun. 4 flowers.
Overall: 4 flowers.
Emma Out!

Melvin Ejim had a special day. The Cyclone senior torched TCU for a Big 12 record 48 points as Iowa State defeated the Horned Frogs 84-69. It was the 4th win in 5 games for the Cyclones.
Ejim scored 30 of his 48 in the second half, hit 20 of 24 shots from the field, and grabbed a team high 18 points to pace Iowa State (18-4, 6-4 Big 12). No other Cyclone player scored more than 11. Ejim hit 2 of 2 from the 3-point line and tallied 6 dunks in the game. At one point during the second half, he scored 20 straight of the Cyclones' points.
The winless Horned Frogs were scrappy at times pulling as close as 7 points midway through the second half. However, they had no answer for Ejim who put the game away when he went on his tear.
The win moved the Cyclones in to a 3 way tie for 3rd in the Big 12.

Bettendorf Police are asking for help from the public after a man was attacked by a dog. It happened Sunday, March 24, 2013, in the 2400 block of Crestview Drive.
Police say the man was out walking his dog when a loose dog ran toward them and bit the man on the face. The man suffered punctures to his nose.
Now, they need to know if the loose dog was vaccinated for rabies, which could be difficult.
Reports say the dog wasn't wearing a collar and it ran away after the attack.
The dog is described as black or brown short-haired, about 75 to 80 pounds and appeared to be a rottweiler or pit bull mix. The victim reported he had not seen the dog in the neighborhood before.
Anyone with information that may help is asked to call Bettendorf Police.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Monday blamed a downgrade in the United States' credit rating on political gridlock in Washington and said he would offer some recommendations on how to reduce federal deficits.
As Obama spoke, stock markets were registering another steep decline, dropping more than 450 points in afternoon trading.
Obama called on Congress to extend a payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits, saying if this is not soon it will lead to 1 million fewer jobs and less economic growth.

SOURCE: GlaxoSmithKline
By Deirdre, President, NA Pharmaceuticals
We've been on a bit of a tour of the US over the last year. As part of a partnership with The Atlantic, we traveled to Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Denver gathering community leaders to talk about the health of their neighborhoods, towns, and regions--and just what makes for a healthy community. These conversations were designed to examine the barriers to good health and identify opportunities to build healthier communities.
In addition, we worked with The Atlantic to conduct a survey of more than 1,000 people across the US to find out how they think their communities are faring. "The Atlantic-GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) National Community Health Check-Up," conducted by Penn, Schoen & Berland this past January, found a strong majority of Americans place a premium on healthcare providers and environment as being primary drivers of their community's health.
Despite an optimistic view of health in their communities, significant portions of the US population are not convinced that they have sufficient access to key resources for good health, while 60 percent of Americans say online information is important to their health. Perhaps most surprisingly, 90 percent of Americans consider themselves to be healthy, despite the barrage of reports to the contrary.
Some interesting trends were identified:
We continue to ask ourselves what we can do to be a better partner in the communities we serve to ensure Americans have the resources and opportunities they need to live healthier lives. We've learned a great deal already--and we're looking forward to continuing this conversation, and GSK's commitment, to our communities.
GlaxoSmithKline – one of the world's leading research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare companies – is committed to improving the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer.

The International State Crime Initiative (ISCI) is a cross-disciplinary research centre comprising a community of scholars working to further our understanding of state crime. By state crime we mean state organisational deviance resulting in human rights violations. This includes crimes committed, instigated, or condoned by state agencies or by non-state entities that control substantial territory.
The concept of state crime includes but extends beyond legal categories of human rights abuse and international crime. Our focus is on victims as key actors in defining, exposing and challenging state violence and corruption. ISCI takes the term 'crime' to include all violations of human rights that are 'deviant' in the sense that they infringe some socially recognised norm.
ISCI is institutionally supported by King's College London and partnered with Harvard University, the University of Hull, and the University of Ulster.
Please visit our website for further information.
ISCI's primary areas of research include:
In 2011 Professor Penny Green and Dr Tony Ward, ISCI's directors, were awarded an ESRC Standard Grant of £830,000 for a project entitled: 'Resisting State Crime: A Comparative Study of Civil Society' (ES/I030816/1). For further information on the project please see the ISCI website.
ISCI's permanent staff team is as follows:
Professor Penny Green (King's College London)
Dr Tony Ward (University of Hull)
Dr Kris Lasslett (University of Ulster)
ISCI recently published the first issue of State Crime in conjunction with Pluto Journals.
State Crime is the first peer-reviewed, international journal that seeks to disseminate leading research on the illicit practices of states. The concept of state crime is not confined to legally recognised states but can include any authority that exerts political and military control over a substantial territory. The journal's focus is a reflection of the growing awareness within criminology that state criminality is endemic and acts as a significant barrier to security and development.
The first edition includes Noam Chomsky's article 'Changing Contours of World Order', which he presented at the journal launch at King's last October.
For further information, including the contents of the first issue, and details regarding subscriptions and calls for papers, please see ISCI's website.

While the Phillies are in the midst of a 10-game, West Coast road trip, the Quakers will take the field under the lights of Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia tomorrow night at 7:30 to take on St. Joe's in the championship game of the 21st Annual Liberty Bell Classic. Penn, one of the original eight participants in the Classic since it was introduced in 1992, will be appearing in its first ever championship game. The Hawks, who have also never won a title, will be taking part in their first final since they lost to Temple in 2003.
The Red and Blue earned their spot in the title game with their 11-4 quarterfinal victory over defending champion Villanova on March 27 and a 9-4 semifinal win over La Salle on April 3. Coming off a brutal 1-3 weekend at Princeton, the Quakers will likely be shorthanded on pitching, and coach John Cole may have to call to the centerfield bullpen several times throughout the game. The Hawks earned their berth by topping Temple, 4-1, in the quarterfinals and defeating Delaware, 3-2, in the semis. They are coming off a 2-1 weekend series win over UMass.
Follow along tomorrow night right here on The Buzz as we liveblog all the action!

of Soviet Ambassador to the DPRK A.M. Puzanov for the period 24 August through 9 September 1960
25 August 1960
I received GDR Ambassador Schneidewind at this request.
The Ambassador provided information about the work of the last CC Plenum of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany. The Ambassador also talked about an increase in the activity of the Chinese Embassy in the GDR. In particular, when making a report about people's communes, the Embassy counselor in Leipzig said that it is time for the GDR to also switch to the organization of people's communes. In connection with this there was an article in the GDR national press signed by an observer which rebuffed the inaccurate assertions of the Chinese Embassy counselor. Officials of the Chinese Embassy have made a practice of inviting the heads of provincial Party committees to the Embassy and holding conversations with them about the other issues of international life in which there are differences of views between the Communist Party of China and the Communist Parties of the socialist countries.
The Ambassador then reported that the leadership of the GDR ministry [of foreign affairs] has given him the following instructions: touch base with the Soviet Ambassador about your activity with respect to relations with the Chinese Ambassador concerning existing contentious issues.
It was arranged that we Ambassadors should not enter into special discussions with the Chinese Ambassador about issues concerning which there are differences between the CPC and the Communist Parties of the socialist countries. However, if the Chinese Ambassador or officials of the Chinese Embassy popularize mistaken anti-Leninist views among officials of the diplomatic corps about the most important issues of the present day and the international Communist movement, then give a forceful rebuttal to these mistaken views. As regards the newsletters recently being distributed by the Chinese Embassy in which articles are placed from Chinese newspapers and magazines containing anti-Leninist views, [we] have decided to return such newsletters to the PRC Embassy.
Kurt Schneidewind talked about the meeting of the SED CC Foreign Policy Commission. The Ambassador noted in this regard that in the latest report of Kim Il Sung about the 15th anniversary of the liberation of Korea a program for the unification of the country, which had not previously existed, was laid out quite clearly. Obviously, the Ambassador noted, the advice of the Soviet leadership had been taken into consideration in Kim Il Sung's speech. The Ambassador also made critical comments about the KWP CC not giving an appraisal of the election platform of the Democratic Party of South Korea and, in his opinion, is not analyzing the differences between the Democratic Party groups, the New Faction [Shinpa] and Old Faction [Gupa].
I did not agree with the Ambassador's opinion that the friends did not have a clear program for the unification of the country before Kim Il Sung's latest speech at the festive meeting on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the liberation of Korea. I talked in detail about the measures successively adopted by the Korean friends directed at the peaceful unification of the country on democratic principles. I said that the issue of the creation of a Confederation of North and South Korea had actually been a subject of discussion between Cde. N. S. Khrushchev and Cde. Kim Il Sung during their meeting in Moscow in June of this year.
The Ambassador thanked me for the explanation and said that now he is better informed about the steps of the KWP CC leadership and DPRK government concerning the peaceful unification of the country.
Kurt Schneidewind expressed his ideas about the Korean friends adopting the experience of the Chinese comrades on a number of issues. In particular, he pointed to the planning of the economy - the theory of uneven development, and the creation in two districts of the DPRK of farms combining all the enterprises and agricultural cooperatives of the district along the lines of the people's communes.
I agreed with the Ambassador that in the past year the Korean friends had tested the uneven method [Translator's note: skachkoobraznoe razvitie; however, this is certainly a reference to the contemporaneous experiment in the PRC called bol'shoy skachok in Russian, known in English as the "Great Leap Forward"] of economic development of the country on the model of the Chinese comrades and were convinced by experience that disregard of the socialist law of systematic development of the economy leads to serious consequences and damage. As regards agriculture, in my view, the Chinese experiment was not manifested in the organization of the two state farms on the model of people's communes, as the Ambassador said, but in the excessive and completely unjustified ballyhoo about getting high rice grain harvest yields of 10-15 tons per jeongbo [Translator's note: a Japanese measure of the area of rice fields], and four to five tons of corn per jeongbo, that is, two to three times more than the harvests obtained in 1958. Attention was not paid to cultivated area when this was done. As a result, the total crops, especially grains, including corn, were sharply reduced last year, but the obligations to obtain high harvest yields naturally turned out not to have been met. All this led to a sharp underfulfillment of the plan for the gross grain harvest and even its decline compared to the actual 1958 gross grain harvest. With regard to the people's communes, from the very first days of this movement in China until recently, both Kim Il Sung and the KWP CC leadership and DPRK government have taken a consistently correct position. They think that the organization of people's communes is inadvisable in DPRK conditions and that only correct way is the agricultural workers' cooperatives of the Soviet Union, taking into consideration the local and national characteristics of Korea. As is well known, the development of DPRK agriculture is taking this path.
Based on last year's experience the Korean leaders themselves are convinced of what violating the law of proportionate development of the economy leads to, and at their December CC Plenum they adopted certain measures to correct the mistakes which had been made.
The Ambassador thanked [me] for the explanation and expressed complete agreement with the ideas stated.

AirTreks RTW Ticket Review
We shopped prices for RTW plane tickets from eight different companies and rated each company based on five criteria – price, search options, customer service, date flexibility, and route flexibility.
Below are the three routes and dates that we shopped:
- Shopping for RTW Plane Tickets – Route 1 Dates and Itineraries
- Shopping for RTW Plane Tickets – Route 2 Dates and Itineraries
- Shopping for RTW Plane Tickets – Route 3 Dates and Itineraries
AirTreks is a company who focuses on multi-stop international travel and enables travelers to create customized itineraries. You can book tickets through one of their agents.
Overall, the price from AirTreks was competitive with the lowest prices on the three itineraries we searched for this project. On average, AirTreks came in at 15.3% higher than the lowest price for each trip. If you want to have your flights set before leaving, going with AirTreks would be a good idea.
Search Options
The online booking tool is easy and simple. And with no strict rules, terms, and conditions to worry about, crafting your itinerary is extremely easy. AirTreks was able to accommodate all three routes we searched, and they were extremely responsive in each case. After filling out the trip planner and submitting the form for a more accurate quote, we received a quote back from a rep the following day. There was a minor glitch when searching one of the routes, but after re-sending the itinerary, we received a quote back in about three hours. If you don't want to search online, you can call a toll free number and speak to a customer service rep. They have toll free numbers for those living in the US and Canada and a long-distance number for those living outside of North America. AirTreks also has an office in San Francisco where customers can set up an appointment.
Customer Service
We were in constant communication with their representatives, and they always answered our questions in a timely manner. One of the pluses of working with AirTreks is that each customer is assigned a personal travel consultant to work with, and they really do try to accommodate your travel needs. Compared to the alliances, where it was difficult to even get a hold of a person to answer questions, this was a nice treat. Each rep was prompt in their responses and was friendly and knowledgeable. We even chatted with one rep for about 45 minutes after sending in our most complicated itinerary. We were impressed by the amount of time and thought that she put into our trip. We talked quite a while about the itinerary, what could make it better or worse, and what the best options would be for this particular trip. The personal touch was nice.
Date Flexibility
The only place where AirTreks didn't rate near the top was the ability to change dates. Once you are ready to book, it's necessary to book all your dates. If you want to change your dates after that, fees are applied according to the airlines' rules for each individual ticket, plus any additional fare increase and tax. Some airlines do not charge a fee to make changes, others do. For AirTreks, exact fees are advised when tickets are purchased – an additional $100 reissue fee is applied if AirTreks is involved in making a change after tickets are issued.
Route Flexibility
Where it loses points in date change flexibility it makes up for in route and destination flexibility. AirTreks focus more on multi-stop international travel as opposed to traditional RTW tickets. According to their website, AirTreks "enables travelers and travel agents to create customized itineraries — with an unlimited number of destinations — and receive instant online price estimates with one click." AirTreks doesn't have any rules and regulations. You can travel any which way you want. You can start and end anywhere. You can travel overland without it counting against any mileage or segment limit because there are no limits. In short, you can craft the exact itinerary you want. And there is no time limit to your ticket.
If you have used AirTreks for your round the world trip, we want to hear from you. Comment below to share your experience, and click on the stars below the comment box to rate.

4 Responses to AirTreks RTW Ticket Review
We have been working with Sarah G at AirTreks and she is fantastic – flexible, knowledgeable and excellent with communication!
We just booked our RTW travel with AirTreks (at least the first half of it due to airline fare windows).
We had a dedicated travel representative (Daniel) and he was engaged, informative, and supportive through the entire process. He was able to not only provide the booking service, but was consultative and extremely helpful in helping us build our itinerary (he has personal experience in many of the places that we are going to, and shared his opinions and recommendations of where we should use air vs overland routes).
I would recommend AirTreks to any traveler that needs to build a custom, multi-point itinerary – the support from AirTreks is excellent!
We used AirTreks for a 9 month rtw trip and were very happy.
Our agent Danial was great. He got us tickets to all of the places and dates that we wanted before we left the USA.
We didn't use the web site or try to change any tickets so I can't comment on those aspects.
We were happy with the price. He often suggested lower cost options for route, time, or date.
I started with SkyTeam but we were going too many places for their rules.
I will use again if I have the opportunity to repeat a fabulous experience.

The Ultimate Fighter 18 starts a new trend in UFC history as Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate coach both men and women, who will, for the first time, live, train, and fight side-by-side. Watch the world premiere of TUF 18 on September 4 on Fox Sports 1.
We all agree this season is f****** stupid. But we can't deny we will all watch it and we know that this is possibly the most anticipated season in tuf history
hahahahha I love it when Dana White says "most intimitading fighters" wow really? little skinny people are scary? lol
what is up with the paint … lol
Really, everyone has there opinion so that's cool. But it seems like an exciting and interesting season, don't see how its stupid makes for good TV. And don't know about you – but I have seen very few fights at 135 that bored me.
And the paint well if you don't get it – then you don't get it.
If you've ever heard either Ronda or meisha speak then you would see how this looks stupid. Maybe you haven't…
I wanna kiss meisha when she puckers up. She looks upset and all I want is her happiness! I'll kiss Ronda too, but she seems like she wants to talk to much about it.
I just hope that it turns into a big brother type situation with hook ups and backstabbing and nip slips, that is all. I haven't really liked the show for a while but the way they filmed last season is giving me hope for this season. Especially seeing some Rousey and Tate booty in that HD woooohooooo!!!!
Seems like 90% of shows on TV are Reality shows and 85% of them are stupid yet people watch them anyway so this should fit in just fine

* = Required Fields
SAN FRANCISCO (BP)--A landmark federal ruling on California Proposition 8 has thrust the issue of "gay marriage" back into the national spotlight. Following are five questions and answers about the ruling's significance:
-- What did the judge rule?
U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker overturned California's constitutional marriage amendment known as Proposition 8, ruling it violates the due process and equal protection rights of same-sex couples under the U.S. Constitution. Prop 8, he wrote, "does nothing more than" discriminate and "enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same-sex couples." It marks the first time a federal judge has ruled there is a federal constitutional right to "gay marriage." Prop 8, passed in 2008 by a margin of 52-48 percent, reads: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
-- What happens next?
ProtectMarriage.com, the group that sponsored the amendment, is appealing the decision to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, where a randomly selected three-judge panel will hear it. From there, the case could be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. All total, the appeals process could last several years. Some conservative leaders, including Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, say the only solution for their side may be to pass a federal marriage amendment.
-- Why is this case more significant than other "gay marriage" cases?
Most other cases have involved state courts, so their impact was limited. The current case, Perry v. Schwarzenegger, is a federal case and could impact all 50 states -- and in essence become the Roe v. Wade of "gay marriage." If Walker's legal reasoning and ruling is upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, then marriage would be redefined not only in California but also nationwide, reversing statutes and constitutional amendments in all 45 states that define marriage as between one man and one woman -- 31 of which passed by voters. That's been the goal of "gay marriage" supporters for years. In 2004, after 11 states passed marriage amendments on Election Day, Matt Foreman, then-executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, told the Associated Press: "This issue is going to be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court, and it's not going to give a [expletive] what these state constitutions say."
-- Why are some people saying the ruling could mark a cultural shift?
Because Walker made sweeping arguments about homosexuality that, collectively, have never been made in a federal ruling. Regarding marriage, he wrote: "Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage; marriage under law is a union of equals. Prop 8, he said, is an "artifact of a time when the genders were seen as having distinct roles in society and in marriage. That time has passed." On childrearing, he wrote, "The gender of a child's parent is not a factor in a child's adjustment," and, "Having both a male and a female parent does not increase the likelihood that a child will be well-adjusted." Regarding religion, he wrote, "Religious beliefs that gay and lesbian relationships are sinful or inferior to heterosexual relationships harm gays and lesbians." As examples of those beliefs, he cited Southern Baptist resolutions on "gay marriage" (2003) and homosexuality (1999), as well as statements on homosexuality from the Roman Catholic Church, Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Free Methodist Church, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and the Orthodox Church of America. All of the denominations point to Scripture in calling homosexuality sinful.
-- What legal arguments will Prop 8 supporters make during their appeal?
Attorneys for ProtectMarriage.com and the Alliance Defense Fund argued at the lower court that children need mothers and fathers and the state has an interest in fostering that relationship. ProtectMarriage.com attorney Andy Pugno said in a statement after Walker's ruling that the government "has a strong interest in channeling natural procreation into stable and enduring relationships between men and women and increase the likelihood that those children will be raised by both a mother and a father." Opponents of "gay marriage" warn that religious freedom will suffer if the ruling is upheld, impacting everything from what is taught in public schools to how private businesses operate to the tax exempt status of religious organizations and perhaps even churches. In New Jersey, a Methodist-owned beachfront property lost part of its tax-exempt status because its leaders denied use of the property to a lesbian couple for a commitment ceremony. Said Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, "The goal of this movement is to use the law to reshape the culture so that disagreement with their views on sex and marriage gets stigmatized and repressed like bigotry. Children will be taught, whether parents like it or not, that traditional faith communities' views on marriage are based on hatred and bigotry."

RnB singer Christopher is set to release his first album ever entitled Habona. The star disclosed the information to the media soon after returning from a trip in Europe where he has been for the last couple of weeks.
The album, according to the singer, will be launched the day after Valentine's Day, which is 15th February 2014 which will be, as he puts it, a way of wishing his fans a happy Valentines.
It will be launched at Serena Hotel, and so far sketchy details regarding the album have been communicated to the media.
The young star has just sat his secondary leaving examinations, and he feels that it will now be easier for him to concentrate more on his music career.

Advantages of an Alhambra Guided TourIf you only ever take one guided tour in your life, take an Alhambra tour. Visiting the Alhambra by yourself is, frankly, a hassle - a guide is virtually indispensable. Here's why.
- An expert's knowledge Don't bury your noise in a guide book. Instead, have your guide tell you all you need to know.
- No lines Especially in summer, there can be long lines to buy tickets. I've heard of people lining up from 6am! A tour avoids all this.
- Guaranteed ticket And then there's the possibility that tickets sell out.
- No chance of messing up Making your way around the Alhambra isn't easy. You can only enter certain places at certain times, and some places only once. A guide helps you avoid this.
- Hotel pick-up The Alhambra is at the top of a hill. The elderly and infirm (and lazy!) will appreciate the ride.

How to Book Your Alhambra Tickets
Note that with all advanced bookings you will have to pick up your ticket at the Alhambra ticket office. This requires standing in line twice - once to get your ticket and again to actually get inside. Bring your passport with you & your credit card (if you're paying by card) as proof of identification and get there well in advance to make sure you don't miss your slot (see below). Weekends are especially difficult to get tickets as Spaniards from all over the country flock to Granada on their days off. Book at least two days in advance if planning to visit the Alhambra on a Saturday or Sunday. April is also a very popular month and bookings should be made a week in advance. Remember that only five tickets can be bought at any one time.
When you book your ticket, there will be 30-minute time slot for you to enter the palace e.g. 13:00-13:30. The time of your palace entry will also dictate when you can enter the Alhambra grounds - either the morning session (8.30am to 2pm) or the afternoon session (2pm until 6pm (winter) or 8pm (summer)).
These are the options open to you for booking your Alhambra tickets.
Alhambra Guided Tours
There are a number of reasons why a guided tour of the Alhambra is a good idea:
- Considering how big the Alhambra is, a guided tour is a great way to see the many buildings and gardens.
- A tour also guarantees entry even when everything seems fully booked, as official guides have their own allotted tickets. Be careful, as the price of some guided tours do not include the entry price (this is true of many attractions throughout Spain). The tour offered below does include entry.
- There is no need to line up to get your tickets, enter the grounds or to enter the palace.

In Person
The ticket office at the Alhambra is only open for on-the-day tickets. At the height of summer (mid-August) you have to line up from about 6am to be guaranteed a ticket.
I have met several people in Granada who threw caution to the wind and didn't book in advance - and they got in! 4pm seems to be a good time to try get in; people have said that the queues are shorter at this time. The advantage of this is that you only have to stand in line once, rather than have to line up once to pick up your ticket and again to actually get in. Note that these experiences are purely anecdotal - most do not recommend this option. It is certainly not recommended in the height of summer.
It is worth asking around when you get to Granada to gauge how busy it currently is. The biggest variable is how many Spanish people are making day trips or taking weekends away - around public holidays it is virtually impossible to get a ticket.
