A Deltona home was left with a gaping hole in its roof after a fire broke out.
No one was injured in the blaze, which started around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday at 1302 Anderson Street.
Fire crews said flames were shooting through the roof of the home and 40 percent of the house was damaged.
The blaze was extinguished after 30 minutes, fire officials said.
Although no one was home at the time of the fire, it appears someone lives in the house, said firefighters, who added that officials were trying to locate the homeowner.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

We know chef Keith Hicks can fry chicken.Now, we'll see how Buttons Food & Music roasts turkey.Buttons will open Thanksgiving Day for the first time, serving a turkey and ham buffet for a very reasonable $21.It's the logical next step for Buttons, ranked one of America's top 100 Sunday buffets for Hicks' chicken, catfish and brisket plus a brunch menu with items such as fried chicken-and-waffles.The Thanksgiving menu also will include a steamship round and Hicks' greens, mac-and-cheese and sweet potato pies or peach cobblers, all regulars on the $19 Sunday buffet.(If you want to venture onto the "food for the soul" menu, the Thanksgiving buffet offers oxtail soup and neckbones.)In its fifth year, Buttons has developed an all-prices menu with small plates at the bar, inexpensive lunch platters and salads, and Hicks' signature dinner entrees.The fried chicken is among Fort Worth's best, comparable to the beloved bird at the nearby Drew's Place plate-lunch cafe. Buttons serves it on the chicken-and-waffles platter or as a chicken-fried chicken plate.Buttons will be open Thanksgiving Day 10 a.m.-3 p.m., then close to watch football. Reserve at opentable.com.Hicks said his new dinner menu soon will add fried turkey legs and whole fried catish.It's open daily for lunch and dinner at 4701 West Freeway near Central Market. 817-735-4900; buttonsrestaurants.com.• Move quickly for Thanksgiving reservations. Cast Iron's buffet at the Omni Fort Worth hotel is booking up already. Same for the Capital Grille menu downtown.In Arlington, Olenjack's Grille in Lincoln Square has the definitive holiday buffet: turkey, garlic-poblano pot roast, shrimp-and-grits plus breakfast dishes, all served 9 a.m.-4 p.m. ($30).More early choices: Ferre Fort Worth, Mercury Chophouse or Ruth's Chris Steak House downtown; Lucile's in west Fort Worth; the Silver Fox steakhouses in Fort Worth and Grapevine; Copeland's of New Orleans or Truluck's in Southlake; or Vance Godbey's in Lakeside.Much more turkey talk to come.• Tony Leland only meant to add New York character when he parked a Sabrett hot dog cart out front of his new pizzeria.But so many customers stopped, he has added Sabrett New York-style dogs at Tony's Pizza Pasta & Subs.The hot dogs come with Sabrett's beef franks, onion sauce and/or sauerkraut. He sold 20 the first day.Tony's, near downtown in the hospital district, is open for lunch and dinner daily. 609 S. Jennings Ave.; 817-870-2255.

Back to the Future: Bring back the Raines Rules for IT procurement?
Two key contributors to the 1996 Clinger-Cohen Act say there is nothing wrong with the current IT management laws. Agencies and Congress just need to improve how they implement and enforce the IT management directives set out by the law. The Senate is expected to pass the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act next week.

Buying commercial in DoD: 15 years after acquisition reform
During the last Defense drawdown, Congress and the White House pushed the Pentagon to make smarter buying decisions in the hopes that it would save a lot of money. The idea was to have the military buy many products the same way businesses do. A decade and a half later, DoD now spends tens of billions of dollars a year under the commercialized models Congress set up. In a two-part, exclusive report, Federal News Radio examines the debate underway over how well it has worked out.

Advantage -> the coding should be faster to write since validations only need to be written once, and DRY methodology is preserved by having those validations expressed only once. Disadvantage -> This will be likely be slower than handling the validation purely in PHP, but unless the performance hit is sizable I'm willing to live with it on the application I'm planning on applying this to.
(The reason this post is in PHP and not in Javascript is I intend to call the js parser from PHP and the majority of the code will be PHP. That is, I want to call a javascript parser from a PHP environment).

"Ninety percent of all rubbish floating in the world's oceans is plastic. In 2006, UN environment programs estimated that every square mile of ocean contained at least 46,000 pieces of floating plastic. Floating in the surface layer are plastic products, tons of drift nets, plastic bags, packing straps and common household items like soap, televisions, automobile tires and deodorant bottles. One suspected spill of plastic bags was measured to have covered 10 miles of ocean.
Beneath the waves, vast coral reefs and colonies, some thousands of years old, house more than 25 percent of all marine fish species. These unique and crucial habitats form an integral part of the oceans systems and yet they too are struggling to manage to cope with the impacts of industries such as tourism, reef fish trades and the taking of coral, which supplies those who think that this coral would look more attractive as home décor or jewelry and consequently support a significant trade in its collection and processing around the world."
Taking care of the planet is as important - if not more important - than taking care of our bodies. If you are blogging about health, nutrition, and fitness because you enjoy the taste of locally-grown, fresh vegetables and grass-fed beef, the health of our planet concerns you. If you love to run because you enjoy the feel of the air and sun on your skin, you should have an appreciation for nature, because we're all a part of it. If you spend more than a few hours in front of your computer screen every day, I suggest that you make it a goal in 2012 to get outside and learn something new about the nearest wildlife reserve or national park. If you live near the ocean, go rent some snorkeling equipment or flip over some rocks at the beach and you'll see a world that exists entirely separate from you, a world that supports creatures of all kinds and sizes, and these ecosystems require our responsibility as co-inhabitants of earth to thrive. Buy less, use less, and appreciate the small things in life.
There's no excuse for miles of tires to found be on the ocean floor. Drive less, buy a bike, do whatever you can to reduce your impact on the our earth's bounty. It starts with you - reform yourself.

Eventim Apollo London - Reviews
Selected fan reports for events at this venue Eventim Apollo London
Hans Zimmer
Fantastic evening from Mandy H, 29/10/14
My husband and I took my daughter who is a great fan of Hans Zimmer s music for her 18th Birthday. She plays the Clarinet and has performed Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator and Madagascar along with some other great film scores. She and us had a great time. The musician were amazing. Hans was exceptional. We look forward to going to another concert if Hans comes to London again.
The Vamps
unforgettable event from Meike, 23/10/14
We came specially to this event from a small town in Germany, because my daughter had been a fan of the band for a long time, already. And as the date of the concert was during our Autumn holidays we were able to go. It was nerveracking booking the tickets: first there were 2 seats in the second row near the stage - but as I pressed the button, they had already gone! But in the end we were lucky to get seats in the first and second row in a circle block and had a good view of the stage! All in all it was a great experience! We enjoyed the concert, the venue and were even estonished by the relaxed, funny, helpful and well organized security! Thanks a lot to everyone!!! And last but not least: I think we were very lucky to have seen the band in this location rather than in one of the arenas on their next tour!
The Vamps
Wow such an amazing show from 08vlaker, 23/10/14
The vamps sound great on a CD but live they sound amazing they really interact with the audience and put on an amazing show!! Really wish I could go back and watch them all over again! With such an amazing opening to the show it was a great experience and a great night loved by all ages!!!!!
The Vamps
I had a fantastic time! from Becky, 22/10/14
I admit that I wasnt expecting much but boy was I wrong! Tristans drum solo and the accompanying music and lighting actually blew my way and it was absolutely unforgettable. Their interaction with the audience was second to none and the atmosphere was electric. The staff on the doors were lovely and wonderfully friendly faces. Congratulations all around :)
Lee Mack
fab event from tracyandsid, 21/10/14
Beautiful venue, and not too big that we couldnt see the stage.... Easy to get to being right opposite tube station. All in all a fabulous gig from Lee mack a great night.
Roar With Laughter
What a laugh! from Anita, 21/10/14
Great comedians and brilliant compere and all for a good cause :-). Ed Byrne was hilarious but could have listened to Lucy Porter all night!
The Vamps
Fab night out from Sharon, 21/10/14
Great night, the sound was brilliant. Excellent view from 2nd row of circle. Good lighting. Playes loads of songs and interaction with the crowd.
John Legend
Pure Class! from Sadi79, 21/10/14
What an amazingly talented man! Classy show with an equally talented warm up act and band. Sang all the faves and then saved the best until last - All of Me. Love Love LOVED it! Best shared experience with my bestie whos emigrating x
John Legend
John Legend from Rita, 21/10/14
Just Brilliant! No gimmicks, just pure music in a wonderful venue. Would highly recommend the venue and those that havent seen John Legend in concert to do so!
Lee Mack
Loved it from Love a Northern comedian, 20/10/14
We were really looking forward to the show and Lee Mack did not disappoint! Loved the audience interaction and the picked on people made for some amusing material. Thought the Irish spelling of names bit (grab a handful of letters out of the Scrabble bag!) was the most memorable for me.
Lee Mack
Really poor from Mike, 20/10/14
Really looking forward to Lee Mack but was a total disappointment - the bulk of the act was spent ogling a girl in the front row who nobody in the audience could see (there were no big screens). His delivery was poor, half of it wasnt audible because he was screeching or rushing through it but the jokes were so simple, immature, hastily written & poor quality they werent worth hearing anyway. Big fan of his previous stand up & of not going out but this was a total waste of time & money. However, the support act Mike Gunn was really impressive - clever, funny, controlled delivery and a total contrast to the headline act.
The Vamps
Great Concert! from angeleyes68, 20/10/14
Had a great time at The Vamps with my 2 girls! Great view as the venue is not too big, not too expensive either. Lovely surroundings and exciting, up-beat concert. Thank you to The Vamps :)
John Legend
Great Gig, but from JMan, 20/10/14
Great to see such an outstanding artist as John Legend. He is truly one of the only artists around today with real talent. On a down side, there was far too many people trying to film the gig via mobile phones, why you would want to do this, I do not know. Surly the management at Hammersmith should deal with this issue. There were also a lot X-Factory type fans attending, far too much screaming and crying going on.
Lee Mack
Lee Mac from mandy, 20/10/14
Fab show and the warm up was funny to...great venue and tickets very well priced but could do with air con in the theatre and whilst having a drink as it was very hot and made it uncomfortable for people but overall I had a great evening. Thank you
John Legend
Awesome! from Steve the bluesman, 20/10/14
What a voice, pianist and band, absolute magic! A truly great evening to rembember, I just hope he p[lays at the same venue again, very soon.
John Legend
Great performer, great voice from Sid, 20/10/14
John Legend really did indulge the sell out crowd as he went through his old and recent hits. Her certainly lit up the crowd with his voice and his piano. However what stuck out for me was the helpfulness from the staff on the night. After having a couple of miserable neighbours during the show, the staff managed to relocate us to somewhere with a stage side view. Amazing! Thank you so much to the understanding staff!
John Legend
Phenomenal vocalist from LornaS, 20/10/14
Hands down the best male artist I have seen. Simple staging and just all about the music. Played every song we wanted to hear off of all of his albums. Will definitely be buying tickets for future gigs. Sounds even better live than on recorded tracks.
John Legend
Beautiful voice from DeeBee, 20/10/14
I had the pleasure in being at Johns last concert of his UK tour. His voice is like honey and his music is wonderful. He had great stage prescence and I was in awe of his musicality. His band were great too, drums, guitar and wind section. Thoroughly enjoyable and would recommend anyone who likes his music to see him live. Supporting act was Judith Hill - who I didnt know anything about. She had a fabulous belting voice. Will definitely be looking out for her in the future.
Roar With Laughter
The best yet from Steve T, 20/10/14
This is the 3rd year that ZSL have run this show, with different line-up each time. I have been to all three and can honestly say that this was the best yet. Of course, it all depends on the comics available and whether they are trying out new stuff or relying on their last tour for material. This time arounmd there seemed to be a good mix of both (Sean Lock with brand new stuff, Ed Byrne with old stuff). Stewart Lee was his usual self, and got upset when someone went to the loo - but again thats what you expect from him. Im pleased that it was a full house again, and thus lots of money collected. I look forward to Roar 2015.
The Vamps
Insane!!! from Ella, 20/10/14
The Vamps put on an amazing showing and the Eventim Apollo was perfect for it because of its size. I had seats quite near the back of the venue, but I could see the whole stage so clearly and it was a night Im never going to forget!! The staff where so lovely and the venue was clean and very easy to get to. My most memorable moment was when James sang Move my way and he started crying because he couldnt believe that the whole audience was singing a song that he wrote when he was 15.

I have been searching for a chest that will hold my twelve place setting. This chest has a very classic look and also it was easy to setup & has a lot of room for my other silver pieces. Unfortunately, the top only had room for 9 knifes. I would recommend this product.
I needed a large silver chest for my sterling. I had seen an antique piece in New Orleans and have been looking ever since. The ones I had seen previously were so cheaply made, and not right for me. This piece is exactly what I was looking for and reasonably priced.
I am very pleased with this Mackay silver chest. It looks better than I expected. I purchased it after my husband retired and we downsized. Our new house is lacking in the storage space we were accustomed to and I needed a place to put the silver. This chest is just what I needed and functions well. My husband had no problem with the assembly.
I'm very pleased with it. It looks great and I like the fact it has 5 drawers--others only have 4--and anti tarnish cloth is in the drawers.
would have given the product a 4 star but service and communication from a rep. and management was poor.

Bad Luck & Troubleby Lee Child
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Electrifying . . . This series [is] utterly addictive." —Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"[An] action-packed thrill ride."—Chicago Tribune
From a helicopter high above the California desert, a man is sent free-falling into the night. On the streets of Portland, Jack Reacher is pulled out of his wandering life and plunged into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing old friends . . . and the people he once trusted with his life.
Reacher is the ultimate loner—no phone, no ties, no address. But a woman from his old military unit has found him using a signal only the eight members of their elite team would know. Then she tells him a terrifying story about the brutal death a man they both served with. Soon Reacher is reuniting with the survivors of his team, scrambling to unravel the sudden disappearance of two other comrades. But Reacher won't give up—because in a world of bad luck and trouble, when someone targets Jack Reacher and his team, they'd better be ready for what comes right back at them.
"A slam-bang yarn filled with Child's usual terse life-and-death lessons."—Entertainment Weekly
"A breathless, ultra-cool novel with relentless pacing."—The Plain Dealer
"Tension-packed . . . one of the most enjoyable of the Reacher thrillers."—Orlando Sentinel
About the Author

Crazy Horse Campground
[ 10/10 ]
My husband and I spend our summers at Crazy Horse and we loved it. We have a permanent spot there from April to Oct and then we head to our home in Texas for the winter. Last winter while our home was being built, we stayed in our motor home in Van Horn at the KOA, which was great, but we are looking forward to Crazy Horse for the summer. After 10 years of camping there, we have a lot of friends there and its a very family orientated park, lots of things for the kids and grandkids to do, as well as tubing and canoeing on the river. Monroe and Janesville are close and fun places to go to shop or eat.
Van Horn, Texas
Van Horn KOA
[ 10/10 ]
We stayed in the campground from November of 2012 to March of 2013 and loved every minute of it. We paid a monthly rate that averaged out to about $15.00 a day. They have a nice pond where catch and release is allowed. Two fenced in doggie areas where your pet can run and play alone or with others. The spaces are big and some of the smaller ones do have shade. But the thing I like best was their cafe. If you pull in late in the evening, you can go and have dinner in the cafe. The food is good and the prices are fair. In the morning, you can walk from your rig to the cafe and have a great breakfast. The owners are delightful and attend to your needs quickly. I would recommend this KOA to anyone traveling along Highway 10 in Texas.

Above World by Jenn Reese
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how Aluna will be able to help the Equians now that she did what she had done. Hoku is your normal smart one, but he isn't a smart-aleck, he's nice.His smartness is helpful. Dash is an Equian gone wrong. He is an Equian with no horse body, so he looks like a human. This science fiction fantasy is awesome in every way and i recommend it to all ocean lovers and sci. fiction fans. GIVE ME MORE ABOVE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDXDXD
I totally loved this book it was filed with action and suspense and mostly trusting your friends and not under estimating your self.
From my blog On Starships and Dragonwings
Above World by Jenn Reese is a Nebula finalist (Andre Norton Award) this year, therefore as soon as I spotted it, I had to read it. I've been craving mermaid/underwater books lately (I think they make me think of summer, haha), so I was freaking thrilled to discover Above World. While the Kampii don't want you to call them mermaids, and a lot of the book takes place in the Above World (ie land), this book had such an original combination of fantasy and sci-fi elements as well as an awesome retelling of the traditional mermaid myths. Think about a world were humans have altered themselves to be able to live underwater (tails, breathing devices and all), or fly through the skies (think harpies, but not evil), or gallop across the deserts (centaurs!). That is the world that Above World is set in :D.
I borrowed a copy of this book from the library. All statements are my own honest opinions.
Title: Above World
Author: Jenn Reese
Length: 368 pages (hardcover)
Genre-ish: Fantasy/Sci-fi hybrid :D (Younger YA)
Rating: ★★★★★- such awesome world-building and characters!
One of my favorite things about Above World were the new phrases that Reese came up with to suit a culture that has been living under the sea for generations. They say things like "still as a starfish" because that's what they are surrounded by! This level of detail to the world made me really happy :D.
At first I thought Above World was a fantasy with mermaids, then I realized it was a fantasy with sci-fi roots to explain how all the humanoids came to be. This hybridization was freaking awesome to read.
Aluna and Hoku are adorable and I love how they broke various stereotypes. Aluna was a great female character who was a complete tomboy, though her headstrong nature got her into trouble sometimes. Hoku was the one who needed rescuing because he was a complete nerd :D, but his curiosity for technology was quite useful in the end.
Above World is proof that best friends don't always have to fall in love with each other. This was a huge relief ;-) and sends a good message I think. Turns out girls and boys can be just friends if they want, haha.
As with many books of this age range, there were some convenient developments to get the characters out of various pickles.
While Above World at first seems like a middle grade, I would be very cautious about suggesting this to kids. There were some pretty gruesome moments with all the body part switching technology. I would say Above World is more a light YA given the gore-y parts near the end.
I may be biased due to my current mermaid addiction, but Above World is hands down an awesome fantasy/sci-fi book. I am in love with this world and can't wait to find out more about the centaur people in the next book :D. While most of Above World has a MG feel to it, there is definitely a lot of weird and gore-y moments given the nature of the technological enhancements everyone has. If you are looking for a fun fantasy that has tech-mermaids (maybe you didn't realize you were looking for that, but you should be!), great characters and world-building, and a bit of an edge, you have to pick up Above World like NOW.
I think this is going to be a fun series. It was a little slow getting started figuring out the world. There is a lot of violence but not descriptive. I'm not sure what the overall message is going to be or if I agree with it. In the future, the world is inhabited by colonies of genetically altered humans who have changed their bodies to adapt to otherwise inhospitable habitats such as ocean, desert, and mountain top.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0763654175, Hardcover)A suspenseful sci-fi escapade plucks two children out of the ocean for a thrilling adventure.
Thirteen-year-old Aluna has lived her entire life under the ocean with the Coral Kampii in the City of Shifting Tides. But after centuries spent hidden from the Above World, her colony's survival is at risk. The Kampii's breathing necklaces are failing, but the elders are unwilling to venture above water to seek answers. Only headstrong Aluna and her friend Hoku are stubborn and bold enough to face the terrors of land to search for way to save their people. But can Aluna's fierce determination and fighting skills and Hoku's tech-savvy keep them safe? Set in a world where overcrowding has led humans to adapt — growing tails to live under the ocean or wings to live on mountains — here is a ride through a future where greed and cruelty have gone unchecked, but the loyalty of friends remains true.

VERGENNES - As the new year approaches, Vermont is saying good bye to many of our citizens who serve as members of the National Guard. Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) AmeriCorps members at Champlain Valley Agency on Aging (CVAA) and local seniors want to make sure soldiers will be able to have some comforts from home.
N2N members are kicking off "Operation Seniors Supporting Soldiers," a donation drive to collect items to put into care packages for our deployed National Guard troops. The donation drive is connected to the National Day of Service on Martin Luther King Jr Day. In 1994, Congress issued a National Call of Service Day in King's legacy-asking volunteers to take action in their communities.
According to the USO's general list for items for care packages, soldiers would like Energy Bars, Chewy Bars, Hard Candy (No Chocolate), Instant Drink Mixes, Instant Soup Mixes, Microwave Popcorn, Mints, Board Games, Batteries of any size, CDs/DVDs/videogames (for any game console), Magazines (nothing inappropriate), unscented personal items (i.e.: shampoo, deodorant, and body wash), baby wipes, and tweezers.
During December and early January, donations will be accepted at these locations throughout Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle counties: Kinney Drugs on Shelburne Road, St. Albans Coop on Federal Street, St. Albans Free Library (starting in January), Pierson Library in Shelburne, Eagles Club in Vergennes, Ilsley Public Library in Middlebury, the Alburgh Public Library, and St. Paul's Cathedral Church in Burlington.
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 18, Neighbor to Neighbor AmeriCorps members and seniors from Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle counties will meet at the Winooski Senior Center at 9am to assemble the care packages.
In addition to collecting donations, N2N has set up work sessions to sew "cool ties," which contain water-absorbing granules and are worn around the neck to provide all day cooling relief through evaporation. Sewing work sessions will be held at Care Partners in St. Albans, Senior Community Meal at Vergennes Eagles Club, and Senior Community Meal at the South Hero Congregational Church. For more details on days and times contact N2N at CVAA at 1-800-642-5119.
For more information on the Operation Seniors Supporting Soldiers project call 1-800-642-5119.

I'm SO glad that I came across this article on people.com!
You may not know these women but you should. I blog about many things being that this is a lifestyle blog and 'service' is a part of my lifestyle. Natalie & Derrica Wilson started their own non-profit foundation in 2008 geared toward helping minority families find missing loved ones. They work closely 'with police, the media and the families themselves, they have helped locate more than 113 missing people - 71 alive.' How AMAZING is that?! According to the article the decision to start the foundation 'came in 2004, when a young African-American woman named Tamika Hutson vanished from her Spartanburg, S.C., apartment.' The ladies later decided to 'take charge' after other abductions followed, as Derrica explained, "It was painful watching them struggle for any kind of media coverage – local or national. This could have been one of my family members."
I admire these women and the many others who are doing things just like this every day and I commend People for posting this story! xo @rozOonThego

Julia Roberts Gets Face Balled
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 1 2014 5:00AM
It would be interesting to sit in on one of the idea sessions for Jimmy Fallon's
Tonight Show
, just to see how the concept of Face Balls ges birthed.
Here's the deal: Jimmy's guest throws a giant air-filled ball at Jimmy's face. The event is captured on slow-mo camera for instant replay. Then Jimmy throws a giant air-filled ball at his guest's face. And they repeat the process with bigger balls.
Actually pretty funny, and who better to kick off your Face Ball segment than Julia Roberts.
She shows off her remarkable sense of humor - check out her comments as she catches a couple of balls in the face.

There are several factors that support Koh Samui's position as one of the most popular and sought after travel destinations in Southeast Asia. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, the island is easily accessible from the mainland and therefore visited by Thais and Expatriates living in Bangkok, as well as expats working in regional Asian cities, and of course travellers from overseas.
In addition to ease of access, the island also offers beautiful nature combined with world-class dining and some of the region's best resorts and spas, all of which add up to an irresistible combination for people from all around the region, and indeed the world.
Over the last two decades, Koh Samui has constantly renewed itself in order to maintain a steady flow of visitors. As travellers increasingly look for bespoke experiences, one of the most successful sectors has been the island's private villa rental market, which offers an alternative to the many hotels that have also played a part in turning Koh Samui into one of the most popular destinations in Asia. At a private villa, guests can take pleasure in a whole new level of privacy, while still enjoying many of the facilities and services associated with a luxury hotel.
Koh Samui's private villas are as diverse, if not more so, than the hotels and resorts that pepper the island. While the latter often have brand guidelines to adhere to and design codes to observe in the case of larger chains, private villas come in all shapes and sizes depending on the type of villa, the owner, the location and a range of other factors. This means that there is something to suit everyone's taste.
The hardest part when it comes to private villas can be choosing which criteria you would like to see ticked off during the stay. Perhaps you require specific facilities like spa beds or maybe you want to stay in a specific area? Luckily, these questions are easily answered with the help of the island's professional villa rental agencies like Horizon Homes. They can help make sense of the many offers available and find a villa that suits your specific set of needs.
A villa rental company will also be able to offer additional services such as airport transfers, pre- and post-stay cleaning, general maintenance and additional staff to look after guests' needs. The addition of maid services and private chefs add a sense of exclusivity and with these personal touches in place, your holiday on Koh Samui can quickly climb from an enjoyable to an incredible experience.

My Oscars Best-Dressed Picks
I woke up extra early this morning to prepare my Red Carpet breakfast and set-up my laptop in the living room so that I could document the Oscars best-dressed. This event is THE fashion Olympics so preparation is key! So exciting!
(Photo taken using Instagram)
Thank you Tom for bringing Aryanna to school and for trying to fend off Dylan away from the TV!
Meet my Oscars distraction: Dylan Finn
(Photo taken using Instagram)
I have to say, this year's Oscars gown choices are exciting!
According to StyleBible, "@stylebibleph: It seems the gals are having more fun with their frocks this year.It's a little less serious; nice!
I agree!
Here are my girls:
Ladies, gentlemen and gays, presenting, our fashion caped-crusader… Gwyneth Paltrow in a white Tom Ford creation!
Oh Gwynie, you are my fashion hero!
Rooney Mara just gave the fashion industry goosebumps with her Givenchy Couture choice! She is the epitome of modern glamour!
Nina Garcia described Rooney Mara's style the best — "Audrey Hepburn gone punk!"
I love her signature fierce bangs and strong brows as well as her classic red lips and timeless bun. The look is directional.
Jessica Chastain in McQueen, FTW! I love that she chose a fierce gown for the Red Carpet!
When you're up against glamazons like Gwyneth, Cameron, and Angelina on the Red Carpet, adorable and cute is the way to go! I love Michelle William's coral Louis Vuitton peplum gown and fuchsia croc clutch!
Her ultimate style arsenal though is her pixie hair cut!
Red Carpet virgin, Milla Jovovich in Eli Saab's Haute Couture collection.
Milla quipped, "I want to glow, shine but just right… It's my first time… It's like I'm a [Red Carpet] bride." Haha!
Celebrate talent and style! Octavia Spencer looks fabulous in a sequined gold Tadashi Shoji gown.
Embrace your curves!
Oh Glenn Close, you give hope to women of all shapes and sizes! I love her Zac Posen tuxedo jacket and fishtail gown combo!
Love her hair and makeup too!
Wit and style are deadly combo! Tina Fey's best look ever! Her custom Carolina Herrera catapulted her to the Best-Dressed category!
Ubusan ng peplum gown!
California goddess, Cameron Diaz' style is always unexpected yet fabulous! She wore Gucci for the Red Carpet.
With a golden tan and a fit body, one can do no wrong!
Angelina Jolie's Versace gown isn't the most creative, but that thigh-high slit and pose (check out "Angelina's leg" Twitter account: @AngiesRightLeg) will certainly be remembered.
Oh, and Brad, you're perfect.
I love Emma Stone! Her gown maybe similar to Nicole Kidman's 2007 Oscar Balenciaga gown, but she rocked it better! Did you watch her presenter's bit on stage with Ben Stiller? She was hilarious!
Penelope Cruz looks like an Old Hollywood movie star in Armani Privé. It's the first time I've seen her in pin curls—very classy.
I love the gowns! I love watching the Oscars! It's truly the greatest show on Earth!

As the bestselling humorist David Sedaris describes in his new "real-ish" essay collection, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, turning 50 was not just another birthday—it was more like a death sentence. Looking back on the last 25 years, he writes: "How had 9,125 relatively uneventful days passed so quickly, and how can I keep it from happening again?" Tonight at the grand Avery Fisher Hall, expect Sedaris to ponder an assortment of midlife-crisis quandaries and share his favorite Christmas anecdotes from his 1997 book Holidays on Ice, which was just re-released with a few new stories.

Bremen's Katie Lafferty followed up a two-win performance in a dual meet at Goshen last Tuesday with the championship in the 50 free and runner-up finish in the 100 free at the 10-team Wawasee Girls Swim Invitational Saturday.
WARSAW — After mustering just nine points in the first half of a Northern Lakes Conference tussle with rival Warsaw, the Plymouth girls basketball team came back and played the final 16 minutes like a different team.
But it wasn't enough as Warsaw held off the ICGSA Class 3A No. 10-ranked Pilgrims 51-41 Saturday night in the conference opener for both teams.
The Pilgrims couldn't buy a basket in the first half. They managed just three field golas en route to a 22-9 deficit after two quarters.
Boys basketball
Cavs win NSC opener vs Knox
Culver Community jumped out to a 25-7 halftime lead, and the Cavaliers claimed a 50-31 Northern State Conference-opening win over visiting Knox in a boys/ girls double feature Saturday night at John R. Nelson Gymnasium.
Trent Elliott had an outstanding all-around game for the Cavaliers with 23 points, 13 rebounds and three steals. Everett Krueger recorded seven points, Micah Budzinski finished with six points and 10 rebounds, and Collin Stevens finished with six points and four assists for the Cavs, who moved to 4-1 overall.
PERU — It may have been cold and rainy outside at Peru last night, but the Pilgrims had no trouble setting the nets on fire inside Tig-Arena in a 57-37 victory against the Tigers.
Plymouth came out of the gate running.
Mack Mercer pushed the opening tip to Ike Kastner, who hit Joe Knapp in stride for the game's first two points, sparking a 10-0 run over the first two minutes of the game. Plymouth scored on its first four possessions, highlighted by a pair of old-style 3-point plays from Mercer.
BOURBON — It was a rough shooting night at the Trojan Trench Friday night, but the Lady Triton Trojans were able to fight through in a 60-39 win over Bremen.
Triton shot 23.7 percentage from the field in the first half, and Bremen was able to keep it close. At the end of the first half Triton led 26-17.
Lady Trojans coach Adam Heckaman talked about his team's poor start and how they were able to get things going in the second half.
WALKERTON — John Glenn girls basketball head coach Kyle Amor wanted to see aggressive play from his charges Friday.
The Lady Falcons delivered.
Buoyed by a 13-2 game-opening run, sticky on-the-ball defense, and 16 offensive boards, Glenn rolled to its sixth straight victory with a 53-30 Northern State Conference rout of visiting Jimtown at The Aerie Friday.
BOURBON — The Triton High School Athletic Hall of Fame 2013 class will include four athletes, one coach and two contributors, the school's athletic department announced recently.
Athletes Jamie Erwin, Jack Carpenter, Curt Kreft and Julie Lozier will be honored alongside former girls basketball coach Mark Heeter and contributors William Moriarity and Kenneth Keller during halftime of the Triton versus Culver boys basketball game in a boys/girls doubleheader Jan. 11. Tipoff for the varsity girls game is scheduled for 6 p.m.
Girls basketball
Lady Lancers pull away in 4th
LaVille used a strong fourth quarter to turn a one-point game at the end of three quarters into a 65-51 win over New Prairie in Northern State Conference girls basketball action at Dale E. Cox Gymnasium Friday.
Kelsey Gurtner scored a game-high 26 points to lead the Lancers. Hannah Herbster chipped in 19 points for LaVille, and McKenzie Leed added 12 points.
LaVille heads to Bethany Christian Monday.
• LaVILLE 65, NEW PRAIRIE 51
At Lakeville
Score by quarters
New Prairie: 13 32 41 51
LaVille: 15 31 42 65
LAKEVILLE — It was Senior Night at LaVille, but after the initial senior introductions, visiting Culver Military Academy didn't give the Lancers a whole lot to celebrate.
The loaded Eagles lineup won 11 matches, including five by pinfall from 132 to 160, and CMA handed its hosts a lopsided 58-18 loss.
Boys basketball
Lions lose at West Noble
West Noble scored at a nearly 68 percent field clip, and Bremen fell behind early in a 66-57 loss on the road Thursday night.
The Lions trailed 20-9 at the first quarter break and that deficit slipped to 20 points by halftime, 35-15.
Ethan Pike finished with a game-bets 26 points and six rebounds, while Jacob Box put up 16 points with three steals for his team. Phoenix Ricketts finished with eight points and six rebounds, and Kai Slough handed out six assists in the loss, Bremen's third straight.

In space, no one can hear your laptop Blue Screen
Reg columnist Verity Stob says she's uncovered the following string of eye-opening electronic missives between the International Space Station's crew members. First, some context: "A NASA contractor deeply involved in Space Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS) operations, decided to migrate to Linux. Chuvala oversees …
This is going to be fun ...

Thanks, STOB! :-)
Glad I hadn't gone for the morning coffee when I read that
You'd owe me a new keyboard. Gold!
A fine effort in general, but. just for the avoidance of confusion
"the designated IT expert here is one of the Ruskies? This is the sort of thinking that lost us the Shuttle. "
I thought the thinking that lost the Shuttle was management and subcontractor costcutting combined with suppression of bad engineering news in (mostly) US companies? I thought there was even documented evidence to that effect from official inquiries?
No Russkies needed, just put beancounters and papershufflers in control rather than engineers,
There's a sense of humour failure here somewhere. Could be mine, I suppose. After all, nobody died. Oh, wait...
Re: A fine effort in general, but. just for the avoidance of confusion
"It was the commies I tell you. Plus our own government covering it up ! ! !"
Yes, it is yours (SOH failure)
Wasn't the bit about Jesus and evolution enough to get across to you the personality of this character as a gung-ho republican/patriot type?
Re: A fine effort in general, but. just for the avoidance of confusion
I don't think she meant caused the Challenger disaster I think she meant lost as in they don't fly them any more.
Great Stuff
Purpose: Test survivability of swim bladder-equipped vertebrates in ZG. Plus got to be good for a laugh. Reminiscent of character in popular US TV show 'Family Guy'.
I thought the fish was in "American Dad"? Or are we not thinking of the same thing?
Re: Fish
It is 'American Dad'. It's a goldfish with a Nazi-esque persona, Klaus I think.
'Family Guy' has Brian the dog.
That was deliberate
Open Office corrupted the document, remember?

It's not is it?
Re: is this even funny?
Some bits of it are quite amusing.
Other bits of it are about as amusing as giving Kissinger a Nobel Peace Prize.
Still, you can't please everyone at once.
Re: is this even funny?
It's true that Ms. Stob has written better, but I found it quite amusing anyway.

After a decent rookie campaign, New York Knicks fans are expecting big things from second-year guard Tim Hardaway Jr.
Many fans want to see the younger Hardaway as a starter when the Knicks open up the 201-15 campaign. But in order for that to happen, a lot has to happen first.
There's no doubting the fact that Hardaway likely is going to become a pretty competent NBA scorer, but after one season that is all he really offered the Knicks as it wouldn't be a stretch to say that he was a pretty lousy defensive guard during his first tour around the NBA.
However that is something that Hardaway is looking to change and he feels that his time on the US Select team has gone a long way to helping him improve defensively.
First of all I give the youngster credit for realizing he has a lot of work to do to become a better player.
Secondly it is nice to see him actively working on getting better.
Hardaway wrote in his daily diary while with the US Select team:
My time with the Select Team in Las Vegas is over and, on an individual level, some of the biggest lessons I learned came on the defensive end from Team USA's assistant coach Tom Thibodeau, which I touched on in Thursday's diary entry.
Even though Coach Thibodeau mostly addressed the national team, I know myself and a lot of my select team teammates were definitely paying attention to his defensive teachings.
It was great to have a coach of that caliber come in and teach us. That's one thing I really took away from USA training camp.
From a defensive standpoint, it was all in the details: keeping the ball on the side of the court, having your man squared, making sure that your hand was maneuvering with the ball so you could try to get deflections, high hands, active feet and just giving all-out energy while you were playing.
Hardaway couldn't have a better teacher to improve as a defensive guard than Thibodeau.
Hopefully the lessons he learned translates into him becoming a complete NBA player.
If he is going to start and see major minutes for this Knicks team this season, he is going to have to.

To speak directly with our Biomet Recall Attorneys:
(877)266-3694 ext 1012
Have you experienced any problems as a result of a Biomet hip replacement? You may be able to file a lawsuit for:
If you received a hip replacement with the Biomet M2A Magnum hip system you may be eligible to file a Biomet hip replacement lawsuit. The Biomet M2A is similar in design to several other "metal-on-metal" hip implants that have come under heavy scrutiny due to their high failure rates and side effects. These high failure rates are due to a lack of pre-market testing on the part of the manufacturers and have resulted in side effects such as hip pain, soft tissue damage, difficulty standing or walking and hip implant failure. These failures and side effects are occurring within the first few years after surgery even though the hip implant is designed to last for many years.
If you or a family member have suffered problems with a Biomet M2A Magnum, you are not alone. Many people have suffered similar problems and are currently filing lawsuits across the country.
Attorneys Keith Bodoh and Steven Beard can file a lawsuit against Biomet on your behalf. They have extensive experience in the area of faulty metal-on-metal hip implants and have helped many victims of such products like yourself.

Environmental Program
Colorado College
I am currently the interim Technical Director at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, serving the Environmental and Chemistry departments. I will be transitioning this September to a Visiting Associate Professorship in the Environmental Program, also at Colorado College. I hold a BS degree in Chemistry from Hope College, in Holland, MI (2002) and a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis, MN (specialty: Physical Chemistry, co-advised between Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering, 2012). My thesis research addressed issues related to global climate change. In particular, I studied new particle formation in the continental troposphere, a major source of cloud condensation nuclei, and thus contributing to regional cooling effects. In the intervening years between undergrad and graduate school I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer, teaching chemistry and mathematics in rural Tanzania, East Africa. That sparked my interests in global public health issues, prompting me to conduct independent research on the exposure of women and children to indoor air pollution through the every day activity of cooking. In my free time I bike, rock climb, practice yoga and can often be found conversing over a good cup of coffee or pint of beer at the local brewpub.

Since I got so many compliments from people who haven't seen me for the last 8 weeks, I decided to take a picture in that dress when I came home last night. I found the left one (I'm wearing a wig.) on my phone as well and woah! I did NOT think I'd look so different!
On the left I couldn't even zip the dress completely, now it's almost a bit loose. For a time in my life I felt confident enough to wear it and I'm a little sad that it might not fit me anymore in a few months time.
I started my journey in January when I joined Weight Watchers. The biggest improvements came when I did the 30 Day Shred - just do it! Now I'm running, doing Yoga and Kettlebell training and I'm starting Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution this week.
My goal weight is 68kg / 150lbs. From there I might go even down to 63kg / 140lbs.
You can follow me on 60 pounds gone wild.

Barney Frank's failed Trayvon Martin "hoodie" joke: When making a commencement speech at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth on Sunday, he made a botched joke directed towards civil rights leader Hubie Jones, who earned an honorary degree: "You now have a hoodie you can wear and no one will shoot at you." Frank later clarified his statements to the Associated Press, which noted Frank has made the joke at other graduation ceremonies (directed at himself), and that it was intended to "ridicule the notion that a hooded sweatshirt is somehow sinister." Jones wasn't offended, for what it's worth.
