arrive in Tel Aviv. We are met by our Pilgrimage Tours'
tour escort and taken through customs then board our motor
coach to transfer to our hotel on the Mediterranean Sea.
Dinner and overnight in Tel Aviv.
May 21, 2014 -
breakfast, we begin our tour of the Holy Land. We
drive north along the sand dunes of the Mediterranean
coast to Caesarea by the Sea, built by King Herod just a
decade before the birth of Jesus. The spectacular
ruins were once the home of Pontius Pilate and the site
of the trial of the Apostle Paul. Next we visit
Haifa, where we see the St. Peter by the Sea
Shrine. Ascending the heights of
Mount Carmel for one Israel's best views high above the
Mediterranean we see the place where the prophet Elijah
was instrumental in the defeat of the prophets of
Ba'al. Here we visit the shrine of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel and see Elijah's Cave. Continuing on to
Nazareth where Jesus grew up, we celebrate Mass at the
Basilica of the Annunciation, where the archangel Gabriel
told Mary that she would "bring forth a son". After
visits to Mary's Well and the Church of St. Joseph, site
of Joseph's carpentry shop, we proceed to Cana where for a
renewal of wedding vows where Jesus performed his first
miracle by turning water into wine at the wedding
feast. Dinner and overnight in
May 22, 2014 - Thursday
TABGHA / CAPERNAUMAfter breakfast we depart for the Beatitudes
where we retell the Sermon on the Mount while standing on the
Mount of Beatitudes looking out over the Jordan Valley and the
Sea of Galilee. Here we celebrate Mass. Following
Mass, we enjoy some free time before enjoying our "St. Peter's
Lunch" on the Sea of Galilee. Following lunch, we visit
Tabgha, where the multiplication of the loaves and fishes is
commemorated in the mosaic floors of the historic
Church. We visit the nearby Church of the Primacy on
the shore of the Sea of Galilee where Peter received his
commission from Jesus to "feed my lambs". Our next
visit is to the town where Jesus' ministry was centered,
Capernaum, where we see the remains of an early Church,
the ruins of Peter's House, and the ancient synagogue
where Jesus preached. Finally, we enjoy a classic
boat ride across the tranquil waters of the Sea of Galilee
recalling the miracle of walking on water and calling on
Peter and Andrew to become 'fishers of men'. Dinner
and overnight at our hotel on the Sea of Galilee in
May 23, 2014 - Friday
JERICHO / JERUSALEMWe leave Galilee for our journey to Judea
through Samaria. En route we ascend Mount Tabor- the
Mount of Transfiguration. We see the place of the
transfiguration in one of the most beautiful churches in the
Holy Land at the summit of the dome like mountain. Here
we celebrate Mass. Following Mass, we descend to the
Jordan River and see the place where Jesus was immersed by John
the Baptist and where pilgrims renew their baptismal promises
to this day. A drive through the lush Jordan valley
brings us to the oldest city in the world, Jericho, where you
can still see actual remains of the famed wall that came
"tumblin' down". From Jericho, we enter the harshness of
the Judean desert that underscores the trying moment at the
Mount of Temptation where, after 40 days of fasting, Jesus was
tempted by Satan and prevailed. We return to Jerusalem
for dinner and overnight.
May 24, 2014 - Saturday
day begins with a dramatic view of the walled Old City of
Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives where we participate in a
group photo. This is followed by a visit to the Church of
Pater Noster where Jesus taught the "Our Father", and the
Chapel of the Ascension. We enjoy the walk down the hill
known as the "Palm Sunday Road", to Dominus Flevit Chapel on
the site where Jesus wept over Jerusalem. A stop at the
Church of the Assumption is the beautiful place of the Tomb of
the Virgin Mary. We continue on for a visit to the Garden
of Gethsemane and the adjacent Church of All Nations.
Then we arrive at the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu - the
House of Caiaphas, we see the place of the trial of Jesus and
where Peter denied Christ three times. In the afternoon
we travel
the short route to the Shepherd's Field with its caves
that were typical of the stables of Jesus' time. It
is here where the angel appeared to the shepherds and led
them to Bethlehem. We continue on to Bethlehem,
birthplace of Jesus, where we will spend some time in
prayer at the site of Jesus' birth inside the Church of
the Nativity, the Grotto of the Holy Family, the Cave of
St. Jerome as well as the Church of St. Catherine, where
we celebrate Mass. While in Bethlehem, we have time
for shopping beautiful Olive wood carvings and other
Israeli crafts. We depart Manger Square and return
to Jerusalem for dinner and
May 25, 2014 - Sunday
This morning we enter through the Dung Gate and go up to the
Western Wall of the Temple, currently Judaism's holiest site
where people from around the world come to pray. Here we
visit the Temple Mount, site of the first and second Jewish
temples and now the Dome of the Rock, followed by some time to
pay a visit to St. Anne's Church, where the Virgin Mary was
born. Near St. Anne's we see
the open air Pool of Bethesda where Jesus performed a
miracle cure and the infirm have sought healing for
centuries. Next we recall the final hours of Jesus'
life at Pilate's Judgment Hall. We see the Chapel of
Flagellation and the Arch of the Ecce Homo "Behold, the
man", as well as the Lithostrotos where we see the ancient
carvings in the stone floor of the basement. From
here we will walk and pray along the Via Dolorosa – the
"Stations of the Cross" where Jesus carried and fell
beneath the weight of his cross to the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre. We'll celebrate Mass in this most holy of
places followed by some time to explore this place of
Jesus' tomb. From here we walk the "Cardo" and enter
the Jewish Quarter of the Old City to explore its shops
and culture. The rest of our afternoon is at leisure
for prayer and reflection. Dinner and overnight in
May 26, 2014 - Monday
breakfast, we journey east into the Southern Judean
Desert. At Masada we ascend by cable car on a spectacular
ride to the top of the fortress palace of Herod, which was made
famous by Jewish Zealots during the Roman siege from 70-73
AD. We see the remains of the fortifications, synagogue,
storehouses, cisterns, and the 6th century Byzantine
Church. Next at Qumran you will look, literally only a
stones throw away, into the cave where the original Dead Sea
Scrolls were found. Interestingly, they were found when a
Bedouin boy broke a clay jar by throwing a stone into the
cave. Next, its beach time at the Dead Sea – the absolute
lowest point on Earth where the salty water is so buoyant that
sinking is IMPOSSIBLE. Returning towards Jerusalem, on
the Eastern slope of the Mount of Olives we will see the home
of Mary and Martha and the Tomb of Lazarus where Jesus "cried
with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth" and Lazarus was risen
from the dead. We celebrate Mass at the Church of St.
Lazarus. We return to our hotel in Jerusalem for dinner
and overnight.
May 27 & 28, 2014 – Tuesday &
morning we will visit a couple of important
museums. First we visit the Israeli Museum and see
its model of the Second Temple as it was in the time of
Jesus, as well as the "Shrine of the Book", with its Dead
Sea Scrolls exhibit. Next we arrive in the
traditional location of Emmaus, in the town of Abu Ghosh
where we visit its beautiful church. Next we arrive
in Ein Karem in time for lunch, followed by a visit to
the birthplace of John the Baptist, and to the Church of
the Visitation, where we celebrate Mass. It is here
where the Blessed Virgin Mary proclaimed her famous hymn
of thanksgiving known as the Magnificat. We return
to Jerusalem to visit Mount Zion where we find The Upper
Room, (Room of the Last Supper and Pentecost) a place of
prayer, song and praise. One
of Jerusalem's landmarks, the Dormition Abbey represents
Mary having passed into eternal life, asleep, in grand
Byzantine décor. The remainder of our afternoon is
free for some final shopping prior to this evening's
"Farewell Dinner" at a local restaurant. Following
dinner, we proceed to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport for
our late night return flight to the United States.
We arrive back home the following morning. Though we
come to the end of our time of pilgrimage, our faith is
deepened, our hearts stirred. Reading our Bible and
seeking Christ as pilgrims in this life will forever take
on new meaning for every one of us.

I didn´t know the answear but after 30 sek on skoaktiebolagets web site i found this:
We ship globally with flat rates depending on where you live:
Sweden, Denmark, Finland - free shipping for purchases of 3000 SEK and above.
European Union - 200 SEK for purchases of 3000 SEK and above.
World Wide - 300 SEK (ex VAT) for purchases of 3000 SEK and above.
At this moment we do not accept mail orders under 3000 SEK. This may change but not in the near future.
This is not meant to be rude but i find it quite funny that in the era of information and easy ways to find it, people still write questions on forum that takes longer time to write than it takes to google the answear. This is the reason i told people not to PM me
Which is exactly the same info I found. The reason I asked is that you sent me conflicting information in the MTO info. "Shipping cost is 300 SEK flat rate with swedish regular mail." As you also wrote that the info was given you by the store manager I was unsure which would prove correct. Granted that info was likely directed at non swedes participating, but I wanted to be certain. Glad to have an answer in any case.
BTW. Please give a green light for PMs when appropriate, I'd like to revise my shipping address if that is still possible.

Thanks, Gentlemen.
Yes, it's from The Armoury. Also ordered the blue suede but didn't come in this time.
You too huh? I've been ogling them for the last few hours while reading the balmoral boot porn thread. I was told that our mto would probably be delivered in early january though, so the only reasonable thing for me to do is to pick up a pair of them as well when I collect the mto boot. I mean it would make no sense for me not to have an oxford boot. Right?

Also a 13. The only real option is getting in on a MTO group order. It would be nice to be able to try on different lasts and get a feel for sizing. Oh well, the lord gave us big feet but he compensated by giving us...big other things.

Yup. I'm also in on the MTO, and I think my January boot plan will turn out exactly like yours.
For now, I think I'll set my sight on those shell bal boots that are still in stock

Applications of Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe commercial availability and decreasing cost of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes in recent years has opened up the field to everybody who wishes to apply these unique properties in their own technologies. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of these applications, and covers the synthesis, characterization and history of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes, their use as metallasilsesquioxane catalysts, their effect upon polymer properties and plastics performance, and their use in superhydrophobic nanocomposites, and electronics, energy, space and biomedical applications. "Applications of Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes" is a valuable reference for those working across a range of disciplines, including chemists, materials scientists, polymer physicists, plastics engineers, surface scientists, and anybody with a commercial or academic interest in plastics, composite materials, space materials, dental materials, tissue engineering, drug delivery, lithography, fuel cells, batteries, lubricants, or liquid crystal, LED, sensor, photovoltaic or biomedical devices. less

Most companies can't connect social media efforts to success
Nov 9th
For the last two months I have been eagerly anticipating the results of Dr. Ben Hanna's Business.com 2009 survey of corporate social media utilization. Why is this report significant? With nearly 3,000 valid respondents, this is probably the largest survey ever conducted on this subject and also represents one of a handful of social media research projects with a methodology and analytics that I actually trust. Let's get to some of the highlights and implications:
Where's the beef?
Some of the most interesting findings were around the hot topic of "measurement." About 65% of the respondents gauge success by "web traffic" followed by engagements with sales leads (57%), brand awareness (54%), customer engagement (50%) and revenue (42%).
But as the graph above indicates, most companies report they can't see a connection between social media initiatives and success. For even those judging success by something as simple as "web traffic," only 15% thought they were seeing progress. More confidence was expressed in the ability to impact brand reputation/awareness (33%), and engagement with sales leads (26%). Of the 609 respondents trying to track revenue, nearly 80% could not see an impact from social media initiatives.
Lack of adequate data is a problem
Another dilemma presented by the research is that most companies don't believe they are getting adequate metrics to even measure results.
At the top end of the scale, 65% of respondents using web site traffic as a social media success metric report that the information they need to measure results is easily accessed when needed. Those measuring brand metrics – awareness and reputation – fall to the bottom of the scale. Only 50% believe they can measure the impact of social media initiatives on this metric. I'm actually surprised the number is even that high.
The survey also concludes that those with more experience in social media do a better job measuring impact.
Less than 10% of the companies surveyed pay to use any monitoring service. Free apps like Google Search, Google Alerts and Twitter Search lead the pack.
Surprises in user base
Nearly 65% of the survey's respondents reported using social media as part of their normal work routine. The results by job role were somewhat surprising in that respondents working in the IT department were significantly less likely than those from almost every other department to use social media. People associated with consulting, PR, real estate and marketing were heaviest users.
Those directly involved in planning or managing company social media initiatives spend about 18 percent of their time devoted to this. Combined with other data in the research, you might conclude most companies are still "dabbling" in social media initiatives.
High community participation
I was surprised to see that over half of respondents said they participate in online business communities or forums. This is far higher than the typical 2% participation rate among monthly visitors to online blogs and communities. The researchers explained that this difference may be due to how study respondents understood the word "participate," possibly interpreting it as "visit," or that the rapid expansion in the number of niche online business communities may be influencing greater usage.
Top sites being used by corporations? Facebook (80%), Twitter (56%), LinkedIn Groups (39%), LinkedIn Companies (38%), and YoutTube (35%).
All in all, very enlightening research. What do you think? Were you as surprised by some of thes results as I was? What's your take on this?
Back and ready to rock
Nov 8th
Miss me? You DID? Awwww … I missed you too.
Time to get back to work after a spectacular two-week vacation in Europe. But for fun, I thought I would give you a little insight into my holiday. Here is my trip by the numbers:
1, 707 — Number of emails in my inbox when I got home.
691 – Number of photos I took on the trip.
75 percent – Drop in readership of my blog when I recycled my "greatest hits" for my vacation. There's a lesson there. Maybe it's you can't take a vacation from blogging : )
45 – Cost (dollars) of a five minute cab ride from hotel to airport in Seville. No kidding. There's corruption there somewhere. By comparison, the cost of a 25-minute cab ride in Lisbon was about $8.
38 – Total number of countries I have visited now that I've added Portugal and Morocco to the list.
29 — Number of blog posts Chris Brogan wrote in the 14 days I was away. Dude, that is just ridiculous.
Five – Number of MEANINGFUL emails in my inbox when I got home.
10 — Minutes of rain encountered over 14 days.
1.51 – Five-year record exchange rate that was hit while I was on vacation. These days, you don't go to Europe for the bargains.
One – Number of times I got really, really lost on the local roads. This was remarkable because my brand new Garmin GPS system did not work worth a damn. It kept saying I was driving through a forest.
Zero. Number of free, public Wi-Fi spots I encountered the entire trip. Perhaps this is a factor in Europe's relatively slow adoption of social media?
Any way, I'm glad to be home and in dialogue with you again. One of the things I've realized is that the evolution of social media is measured in dog years. I was only gone two weeks but it seems like 14. What did I miss?
Are you using your buffalo?
Nov 6th
Inventory — A customer in France made coated metal plates and, for quality control purposes, had to keep a large volume on hand in a warehouse. This tied up valuable working capital. We had the idea to use this as a rapid-turnaround stockpile. They could sell and ship material out of the warehouse for customer emergencies as a premium service — at a premium price!
People — A local company said they needed my help because "everyone was just sitting around" with their business levels so low. I saw this as under-utilized human capital. How could they put these people to use to connect to customers and discover un-met or under-served needs? Turn EVERYONE into a sales person? Study the competition?
Information — A client had developed a weekly email update to keep their salespeople on top of changing market conditions. A survey indicated their customers were hungry for the same type of information. Their email was turned into a premium information service to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. They leveraged information they already HAD to create a siginificant new customer benefit.
Services — I recently taught a class on recession marketing. The class content is now an asset, part of my "buffalo." I turned some of the ideas into articles for my website and now, my blog. I promoted this content through online forums and social media. One article had more than 500 downloads in two days. These new contacts were added to my mailing list for further follow-up. The session was videotaped and edited into short topics for my website and YouTube.
How are you using the whole buffalo in your business?
An interview with GE's Social Media Wizards
Nov 5th
The GE Social Media Team: Gary Sheffer, Jen Walsh, Sean Gannon, Lisa Lanspery, Mike Eisenreich, Megan Parker and Vivek Kemp
- Megan Parker – "The Enthusiast" and GE's Twitter-er. An example of her creative flare: "Hey baby! GE donates $8M for UK maternal hospital"
- Sean Gannon – "The media guy" corralling stories from around the GE system for the team
- Jen Walsh – "The web expert" and fan of llamas.
- Vivek Kemp – "The reporter" and balloon artist.
- Lisa Lanspery – "The storyteller" and computer enthusiast
Megan, as GE's lead Twitter-er, how do you describe to your mother what you do for a living?
Parker: "I'm fortunate to work and live close to my family. So when I started my role as a social media communicator, I did the most logical thing I could think of — I scheduled a Parker family meeting. We spent a couple of hours one Sunday afternoon in the family dinning room going from the principles and theories of social media up through the latest and hottest tools. I wanted to ensure that my family understood that social media has changed the way people share and converse on a large scale."
Other than subject matter, how is it different managing social media for GE instead of doing it yourself as an individual communicating with friends?
Gannon: "The biggest difference is remembering that no matter how casual the conversation is online, what we say via various social media is, in the end, still the voice of GE. While it's not the voice of "BIG GE," as in an official press release or a viewpoint on our main website, what we say is nevertheless trusted by our audiences to be factually correct – 100%.
"That requires balancing the instinct to stay informal with the discipline to only inform our conversations with well-researched information. In this sense, we are much more like the news blogs of major media organizations because if you go to these sites you'll find humor, informal writing, asides, genuine human voices (not corporate-speak) – but you'll also find an unwavering attention to detail and facts. That's different from shooting off a story or a comment to a friend. Causal doesn't have to mean sloppy or lazy when it comes to the facts."
How has GE's social media strategy changed since its inception?
Walsh: "I like to think of GE as a corporate pioneer in the social media arena. Before 'consumer-generated content' became a term of art, there was the GE "Pen," which we created in 2003 when we launched GE's new "Imagination at Work" campaign. The basic thought is that every idea begins with a sketch, so why not let people doodle and put their own imaginations to work.
"Internally, GE employees have been able to create blogs and wikis for several years, as part our project management and workflow toolset known as SupportCentral. We launched 'From Edison's Desk' in 2005 to the delight of scientists and technologists at our Global Research Center, but more importantly, to give promising, job-seeking PhD candidates a regular view into the type of work we do in our R&D labs.
"In 2006, we asked consumers around the world to "Picture a Healthy World". After they crashed our servers (we had no idea so many people were so healthy!), we had a great set of photos and stories that we could show and share when we took over all the digital signs in Times Square on World Health Day.
"We've made our monthly innovation stories on GE.com sharable. And as our Managing Editor, Sean Gannon, likes to say, we're letting everyone and anyone who visits GEreports.com "have it your way." Just come to the site and decide if you want to get GE Reports via RSS, email, Twitter or YouTube. Thanks to Mike Eisenreich, our technologist, you can now embed our new widget. Finally, Beth Comstock, our CMO, has a moblog called "BlackBerryBeth," where she shares her ideas and observations with thousands of communicators and marketers at GE. These regular updates keep a far-flung team connected and also inject fresh thinking into the organization."
What on-the-job learning has been most beneficial to your success?
Kemp: "Over the past five years I've transferred from newspapers to broadcast news and finally to GE's digital media team. Each jump has required a willingness to adopt new technologies and techniques. But really, the entire job of reporting is an active task of learning (and listening). You parachute into a person's life, into a conflict, or into an event and you're charged with learning and digesting those issues, so you may translate them into words, pictures or videos (and increasingly Twitter, blogs and podcasts).
"I've been fortunate to learn how to write an article, shoot and edit a digital video and narrate a broadcast story. But, honestly, the single most important on-the-job lesson I've learned, and been lucky enough to practice, is how to craft a story – an on-going lesson. And one I hope I'm always learning.
How will GE convert the expense of social media activities into shareholder value?
Walsh: "GE's social media activities are part of the way we work and communicate every day. They are not an extra expense to the company, but rather part of our regular media and communications mix. GE has become a daily news publisher, sharing our stories and data in text, audio and video formats, available anytime, anywhere online. The ROI for shareholders is more timely and useful information that they can share and interact with. That's what I call disclosure!"
Are there different skills necessary to be successful in social media compared to traditional types of marketing?
Lanspery: "Relationships are pivotal in both online and offline campaigns. What is different in social media is how information and opinions about your products and services will appear without any attempt on your part to control the source and flow of information. The key skill you need for social media is flexibility — flexibility to participate in the conversation."

Last minute plans but we thought it would be a fun idea to go whale watching. We took a ferry to Fun Zone where we got on a boat and headed out into the ocean. Unfortunately we didn't see any whales but the boat ride was worth it making it back in time for the sunset. This trip was one for the books, happy anniversary to us! travel fashion inspire

Question & Answers
Please help me defeat Zed!
How do I defeat Zed? I assume I have to destroy the speakers first, but I've been doing that for a very long time now with no results. Just an endless loop of destroying speakers.
Answer from: Nicksgoodadvice
Well, you have to destroy the speakers but you also have to keep an eye on Zed because he will be charging up an attack in the meantime. You have to destroy a few speakers and then harrass him before he pops the attack and makes new ones. He'll jump over to another place, destroy a speaker or two on the way, and harrass him. Once you destroy them all, you'll have your chance to beat him up and cut him in half.
Answer from: Stompy
You have to crush the speaker that he is standing on

From pale lilac to deep, dark eggplant, give your room design the royal treatment with purple paint colors sure to please the most grown-up and sophisticated of interiors.
By Susan KleinmanMore in Decorating
Symonds Says: Purple!
Blue and green beach house bedrooms are traditional, tasteful and timeless. But they're also overdone. When her clients asked interior designer Susan Symonds to suggest a color for the master bedroom of their Block Island, R.I., vacation home, she surprised and delighted them with a light, lovely lilac (Ralph Lauren GH41) — the perfect backdrop for the room's 180-degree ocean view.
"Because this home is used year-round, it needed a luscious color that would complement the ocean year-round, whether it's a brilliant sunny summer day or a chilly winter weekend," says Symonds. "Purple frames the ocean view and captures the luminescence of the water."
To keep the sweet purple shade looking sophisticated, Symonds avoided any cute or trendy accessories. The coral, pink and green of the accent pillows pop against the lilac background and bring out the joy in the color of the prints.
Symonds says, "You can use purple almost anywhere. My mantra is, 'have no fear of purple!'"

Stories to Share: Helping Seniors Write About Their Lives
Posted By Laura Hahn On October 23, 2013 @ 4:59 pm In Notebook | Comments Disabled
There was one about a blind date. There was another about keeping kosher, but sneaking BLTs. And then there was one about our family's store surviving the Great Depression thanks to help from a friend.
Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter [1]
Pop Pop [3] used to love telling stories. He was 96 when he passed away [4] last fall, which gave us almost 30 years together. That's a lot of time to talk-and a lot of time to listen. I feel incredibly fortunate that we had it.
But lately, I've been rethinking the stories he shared with me. I'm learning in graduate school [5] that memories we pass along are often less about the memories themselves, and more about who's hearing them. The stories we choose to tell (and retell) may be the ones we think others want from us based on the role we play in their lives, or based on what society deems significant.
That's one reason why researcher Kate de Medeiros [6] leads writing workshops for older adults, a project I'm helping out with at Miami University [7]. The workshops create opportunities for people to share moments from the past, free from expectations. They can write about an event that happened to them 70 years ago, or yesterday. They can draw from their arsenal of often-told anecdotes, or they can reflect on something else entirely. It's their choice.
And it's a challenge. Over the course of eight weeks, participants in Kate's workshops write about their lives via first-person memoirs, third-person narratives, letters and poems. They're tasked with an assignment each week and then invited to read their completed work aloud, if they're comfortable.
In the workshops we're running at a nursing home near campus, our writers come eager to share with the group. They've written about road trips, first days of school, jumping in swimming holes and learning to ride bikes. They've also written about alcoholic fathers, abusive ex-husbands and terminally ill loved ones. This isn't your average activity hour. These are writers expressing themselves, making sense of their lives and, through the act of sharing, connecting with other residents-their colleagues-on a whole new level.

What would Pop Pop have shared in a writing workshop setting? Not to say that he withheld anything from me, but as my grandfather and as a product of his generation, he may have felt compelled to leave me with certain stories-and, perhaps, protect me from other ones. The stories I know by heart underscore resilience and pluck. What stories would he have told a group of relative strangers?
While chronicling life stories certainly is a worthy endeavor, that's not the point here. Kate's workshops are meant to challenge older adults, and help them reflect on the past and engage in the present. I suppose the question to ask is: Could an outlet like this have helped add meaning to Pop Pop's life, particularly as he neared the end [10]? As I watch and listen and learn each week, the answer becomes more clear. Yes. Absolutely, yes.

In Lebanon visitors will find many wonderful hotels located in Brummana, the Flower City. The area surrounding the town is full of ancient history and perfect for exploring while on holiday. The Church of the Prophet Isaiah is the oldest structure in Brummana. Historians date the church to 333 B.C. It was originally a fortress built to protect Arab pirates but became a Christian church in 1560. The Deir Al Kalaa is situated in Beit Mary on a large hill. The Deir Al Kalaa ruins are from the Phoenician and the Roman eras. Visitors can tour the Temple of Baal from 2 B.C., the Byzantine Church from the 5th century, and the Temple Juno Astarte from the 1st century.
Budget hotels in Brummana that can easily be found and booked on EasyToBook.com are the perfect home base for travelers in the Matn region. The Abillama Cemetery, a structure from the 1100's during the time of Emir Fakhreddine has interesting ruins. And, the Serail Alallama is a very old horse stable. Both of these sites display typical village life in the early centuries of Lebanon's history.

It is common knowledge in our industry that there is one undisputed leader in reporting on the topics, businesses and trends that impact all of us the most, and it is shop-eat-surf.com. Their access to those who make our industry happen is second to none, and we value not only the content of their reporting but the editorial thought on what it all means both in the present as well as the future. If we were asked to give a rating, it would be five out of five stars.- By Craig Levra, CEO, Sport Chalet
Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline

We talked with Kustom Brand Director Pat Fraley on how the brand plans to stand out in a crowded marketplace by targeting a younger demographic than other sandal companies in the surf market.
Pat: With Kustom, we have a brand message that is more in line with what is happening in the best apparel brands. It is young, progressive, edgy. It's a message that really resonates with the 12-24 year old and getting that message out is a focus point for us in 2011. The older brands are great at what they do, but let your parents wear those. The kids want something fresh and that's where Kustom comes in
Pat: In general yes but as with any new start up brand you have to be patient. Coming from Australia it has taken time to fine-tune the product for the American market. I am happy to say more and more retailers are stepping up to partner with us because they like what they are seeing
Pat: Huntington Surf & Sport, Hansen's, ZJ's, Jacks, Surfside, K5, BC Surf & Sport, WRV, The Buckle, Zumiez
Pat: Both. We have designers all over the globe and we all share our designs and ideas and then build a product line that best fits our specific regions needs
Pat: In Australia and Europe, shoes drive the brand's business whereas here in the U.S., the bulk of the business is with sandals. That was a conscious decision on our part.
As far as styling goes, these days product is becoming more global in its appeal so the differences aren't as apparent from one country to the next.

|Texas coaches group having second thoughts about Clemens
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 17 December 2007 14:37
The Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association is having second thoughts about inviting Clemens to its annual session next month following allegations in the Mitchell Report that the seven-time Cy Young Award winner used steroids.
Jim Long, president of the association, said his group plans on holding an executive meeting Tuesday to decide if Clemens will remain as one of the presenters in Waco. It is the country's largest high school baseball coaches association, Long said.
Clemens had been scheduled for the last eight months to talk about pitching and ``what he did on a daily basis that kept him in shape,'' Long said.
But last week, Clemens was named in the report by former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell on the illegal use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. Clemens was accused in the report by a strength and conditioning coach of using steroids and human growth hormone.
``A dark cloud has been put over Roger's head and 99.9 percent of the media says he's guilty even though he says he's innocent,'' said Long, the coach at Brenham High School, located about 70 miles northwest of Houston. ``That presents a problem for our association. It has to come first over a player or coach.''
Through his lawyer, Clemens strongly denied using any performance-enhancing drugs.
Clemens' agent, Randy Hendricks, did not immediately return a telephone call Monday from The Associated Press seeking comment on the prep association.
Clemens' name does not appear on the convention's agenda on the group's Web site.
The association is hoping to speak with Clemens for a few minutes on Tuesday during its executive meeting, Long said. The group plans to make a decision by 3 p.m.
Long was adamant that the association was not jumping to conclusions or being pressured to retract its invitation to Clemens.
``We're not saying anything negative about Clemens,'' he said. ``He's been a great supporter of our association.''

Provo • Mostly because of its no-play-on-Sunday policy, BYU always seems to create bracketing headaches for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament selection committee.
Matters were complicated even more this year when the Cougars' second-leading scorer, point guard Kyle Collinsworth, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the West Coast Conference championship game, although that didn't prevent the committee from giving BYU a surprisingly high seed.
No. 10 BYU vs. No. 7 OregonThursday, 1:10 p.m. MDT at Milwaukee
TV » truTV
Oregon primer
23-9 overall, 10-8 in the Pac-12
» Enters NCAAs with an RPI ranking of 25.
» Went 3-0 against Utah teams, beating BYU 100-96 in overtime, Utah 70-68 in overtime and Utah Valley 69-54 at home.
» Leading scorer is Joseph Young (18.6 ppg.), leading rebounder is Mike Moser (8.0 rpg.).
» Point guard Johnathan Loyd is brother of former BYU guard Michael Loyd, grew up with BYU guard Anson Winder in Las Vegas, attended same high school (Bishop Gorman).

Perhaps the favorable seed and their knowledge that the committee has to make special accommodations for them is what kept the No. 10 Cougars from complaining Sunday about their draw, and the fact that the committee violated its no-rematch policy. According to NCAA bracket principles, "If possible, rematches of nonconference regular-season games should be avoided in First Four and second-round games."
But the WCC's Cougars (23-11) are playing the Pac-12's Ducks (23-9) on Thursday at Milwaukee, despite having lost to the No. 10 Ducks 100-96 in overtime back on Dec. 21 in Eugene.
Besides, Oregon probably has a bigger beef with the committee, seeing as the Ducks are being asked to beat a team they already defeated, then play Wisconsin (if it beats American) some 80 miles away from its Madison campus. On Monday, coach Dave Rose told BYU Radio that he was more surprised by the committee's choice of BYU's opponent than by the seed his team received.
"I can remember the locker room in Eugene right before Christmas, the disappointment in our guys," Rose said Sunday. "We had a lead late, and kinda let it get away, and lost in overtime. So, for a lot of reasons, I think our guys will be really excited to play in this tournament against Oregon."
What the matchup lacks in intrigue and mystery should be offset by its potential entertainment value. Both teams love to run, as evidenced by that high-scoring contest three months ago. BYU is the third-highest scoring team in the country at 84.2, while Oregon ranks 11th at 81.8.
"They are a very good offensive team," Oregon coach Dana Altman told the Eugene Register-Guard. "It was a long time ago when we played them. We are different, they are different. I don't think you draw too much from that first game. It was here, which was a big advantage for us. We made a big rally to catch them. We will have our hands full. They are a good team, well-coached, and we have to bring our 'A' game."
The Cougars led 83-76 with three minutes left and had the ball, but Matt Carlino missed a layup and Eric Mika committed a turnover after coming up with the offensive rebound. Oregon tied it 84-84 with 59 seconds left on Mike Moser's jumper, then neither team scored until the 4:46 mark of overtime. Frank Bartley IV made a driving layup with 47 seconds left in overtime that would have given the Cougars the lead, but charging was called on the freshman and the basket wiped away.
Layups by Damyean Dotson and Joseph Young and two free throws by Moser sealed it for Oregon, handing the Ducks their 11th straight win and BYU its second straight loss.
"I remember it was tough because that was right after our Utah loss," Mika said. "We had them down the stretch a little bit and kinda gave it away. So, we were all pretty bummed to finish off the preseason like that before we went into our first two conference games. None of us felt like we had very good games, so I think we are all ready to play them again."
Tyler Haws led BYU with 32 points, while Jason Calliste led Oregon with a career-high 31. Calliste, an 85-percent free-throw shooter, was 13 of 13 from the free-throw line.
"We had our chances to win that game," Haws said. "They are a great team, very talented, and we are excited to get another shot at them."

Most Bullied Teens Don't Tell Parents
Erik Sass
, February 17, 2014, 12:15 PM
It's no secret that teenagers are, well, secretive. So it's no surprise that most teenagers who are bullied online don't tell their parents about it.
A new survey by Cox Communications and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, who released the results earlier this week in support of Safer Internet Day found that while 31% of teens reported being the victim of online bullying, only 41% of these have told an adult.
One in 10 reported having bullied someone online. Other findings weren't likely to assuage parental anxiety: 73% said they had shared personal information or potentially inappropriate content online, including photos (73%), their phone number (21%), curse words (21%), their physical location (19%), their address (12%), and sexual comments or pictures (5%).
Recently, a separate survey of British kids ages 8-16 found that 21% had posted negative comments, and 26% had hijacked someone else's account to post damaging content. Plus, 43% of respondents ages 12+ had had exchanged messages with strangers.
As reported last month, technology may help combat bullying. Researchers with the MIT Media Lab's Software Agents Group claim to have developed an algorithm that can detect bullying, based on linguistic patterns. The program is designed to work in conjunction with social-media sites, as a kind of preventive measure. It scans the text of posts and when it detects language that may indicate bullying, it asks the user: "Do you really want to say this?"
The survey findings confirmed the huge role digital media plays in teens' lives in general. Respondents spend an average of almost six hours a day online, equaling the amount of time the spend in the classroom (there's doubtless some overlap here) and 83% said they log on to at least one social media site every day, with Facebook and YouTube the most popular sites.

PPC® Showcases Innovative Locking HDMI Cable at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2009
DENVER â Oct. 28, 2009 â PPC®, a leader in connector and filter technology for over 65 years, today introduced its innovative Locking HDMI Cable at the 2009 SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in Denver. To reduce truck rolls for cable operators and system down time for consumers, the patented, industry-first device features a built-in mechanism that automatically locks the cable in place to eliminate loosening and fall-out, an issue which has long plagued HDMI connections.
To resolve the issue of loose HDMI cables, PPC's Locking HDMI Cable grips a port with ten times the strength of conventional connectors, enabling average port retention of 25 pounds. An innovative release tab prevents port damage when removing the cable. The device delivers top-quality 1080p HDTV video and Dolby® Digital DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD audio, features the distinctive strength and flexibility afforded by PPC's Perfect Flex⢠jacket, and can be installed easily without tools.
"Loose connections have been a problem since the HDMI cable was first introduced. To resolve this long-standing issue for service providers and their customers, we are proud to be introducing our Locking HDMI Cable at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo," said Dave Morrocco, vice president and general manager of broadband for PPC. "For cable operators, this innovative device has been designed to reduce service calls and the associated operational costs. And for end users, it means an optimal HD experience free from the inconvenience of system down time."
More information about the Locking HDMI Cable is available at www.ppc-online.com/store. Details about PPC and the company's other products are available at www.ppc-online.com.

Change of Pace–Dirk Bikkembergs designer Hamish Marrow maintained the label's reputation for sports and fun with his spring/summer 2014 collection. Wearing mirrored goggles, the brand's active man was brought indoors for a season of contrast. The sports jacket was revamped with elasticized cuffs and softened with a bold floral print. Meanwhile, sheer whites kept the season light and iridescent fabrics used for suits and windbreakers reinforced the brand's heritage.
