Tucson Home Prices
Forecast: Housing prices to increase

According to the folks at Gateway Safety their Venom Face Protection is far more comfortable than other face protection products. As proof they offer the results of an employee survey conducted by a national pharmaceutical company in which 83% of those surveyed gave Venom Face Protection a positive review for fit and comfort. Only 32% gave other face protection products a positive review.
Venom Visors are made from 0.60-inch thick polycarbonate. Unlike some other face shields, which are shaped like a section of a cylinder, these have a contoured shape that is said to provide better facial coverage and block more debris. The headgear has an extra-soft cloth brow pad to absorb moisture and a three-part adjustment system that allows users to turn a ratcheting knob to loosen or tighten the fit, adjust the top piece to raise or lower the gear on their head, and tighten or loosen the hinge on the visor.
The shield has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories to meet ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 standards. Visors are available in clear, clear anti-fog, and gray, as well as 3.0 and 5.0 IR Filter shades.

The Crossrunner has already proved controversial for being passed off as a new bike when, effectively, it's little more than a re-worked, re-styled nine-year-old VFR800 with some 'parts bin' equipment. But there's no denying that, as a concept, as a two-wheeled 'cross-over' machine, the Crossrunner simply works. It's one of the best, friendliest and truly versatile bikes around – anywhere. ...

The CBR125R has been yet another of Honda's success stories. In its seven years of production, the sporty-looking learner 125cc has sold by the ship load all over the world, with good reason. It is easy to ride, comfortable, gives good fuel economy and, above all, it's a Honda… For 2011 the CBR125R has been updated. The mini-emperor has new ...

Motorcycling needs new blood to ensure survival. Honda's take on this is to attract people into motorcycling with a cheap, honest and stylish workhorse – and the CBR250R is it. This all-new machine is not just suited to restricted cat' A licence holders, but also anyone who wants a simple, easy to ride, modern-dressed machine capable of returning high mpg ...

Honda Europe was asked to produce a modern-day version of its famed CBR600F, the bike that helped kickstart the 600cc supersport arena in 1987. With blessing from Japan, the CBR600F ABS is the finished article. And very good it is too by being easy to ride, comfortable, good looking and can be ridden quickly very, very easily. It's keenly priced, ...

The Honda S-Wing is a well-equipped and competitively priced executive scooter that performs a lot better than its functional looks might suggest. Honda is pitching the S-Wing as an up-market urban commuter and in that environment it's a cut above the direct competition.
1237cc, 173bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 17
The 'DCT' bit of Honda's new VFR1200F stands for 'Ducal Clutch Transmission', Honda's name for it's all-new, clutchless, semi-automatic transmission system which is so different it warrants a review all its own, and so impressive and revolutionary it heralds the start of an all-new technical era.
399cc, 60bhp, 128mph, Insurance group 10
The Honda VFR400R, or NC30 as it's commonly known, is effectively a 400cc version of the iconic VFR750R (RC30) and as such is a cheaper alternative to the RVF400R which succeeded it in 1994. It has excellent handling, still looks good and a usable engine for road and track, although it's not as quick flat out as some of the ...

The Honda CB400 Super Four, like most 400cc grey imports, is a junior, Japan-only derivative of a larger model, in this case the CB1000 'Big One'. As such it's a chunky, good-looking, well-equipped roadster that's both novice-friendly, reasonably versatile and sporty, too. Expect usual grey import foibles (secondhand, sometimes difficult parts/servicing availability); don't expect giant slaying performance. Cute, likeable and ...

Honda's chunky little 50cc Zoomer is a weird cross between a twist-and-go scooter, a Tonka toy and a stripped-bare army Jeep. It's easy to ride, nippy and stylish. Honda claim low emissions, it has lots of bungee hooks and there's lots of storage space, thanks to the skeleton frame and lack of bodywork. They arrived in the UK in 2005, ...
398cc, 31bhp, 94mph, Insurance group 9
Strictly speaking, the BROS 400 is heavy, underpowered and outdated. But the cheap grey imports are surprisingly nice to ride – they're well balanced, steer well and the engine is flexible, torquey and characterful given its 33bhp output. That also makes it legal for new riders on a restricted licence.

I'm trying to come up with a good tag line that doesn't sound awkward. Our company offers lessons in aerial acrobatic fitness and other non traditional fitness mediums.
If you are not sure what Aerial Fitness is:
Aerial fitness is a class where participants use strands of fabric called "silks," suspended about 16 feet from the ground, and their own body weight to perform strengthening and flexibility exercises. It was originally used as a form of entertainment in Cirque Du Soleil. Aerial silks are now used to challenge and sculpt bodies by the use of slow, controlled movements using ones own body weight as both lever and force. Students learn methods of climbing, knotting, poses, wrapping and unwrapping in the fabric as well as to flips and drops for the more advanced student.
Benefits of Aerial Fitness:
•Your health! Be healthier by toning, building strength and flexibility in your body.
•Aerial fitness gives students a sense of empowerment. Students set goals and accomplish them in a safe and supportive environment. We teach students to do the impossible!
•Aerial fitness encourages innovation. It teaches how to look at things in a new way and problem solving.
•Do something for yourself. Only when we take care of ourselves can we take care and help others.
Company name: Aerial 4 Me
Location: Mid West, USA – Big city with small town values. City supports arts. Trendy.
Target: Women and men (mostly women) 20-35
It's a new growing niche of specialty fitness. If you are familiar with what Cirque is then you know what this is.
Students would want to take this class over others because it's fun, new, challenging and exciting. Also goal orientated. Students see results by abilities in moves. Also they are able to express them selves creatively unlike traditional workouts where its repetition and boredom.
Jay's Answer:
- Exercise For People With Hang-Ups!
- Hang On. Fitness Is Here!
- Get Fit With Suspense
- Fly. Dangle. Swoop. Smile.

The backend on this is the furthest thing from intuitive possible. There is no documentation available as to what needs to be setup in virtue mart first, not to mention even a simple step by step of how to create an event. The phrasing and names of everything is confusing and unclear as to what they go to, or do... Also linking to the component is non-intuitive.
Until there is documentation I would plan on spending a day or two figuring this out. I am sure that once you do figure it out and possibly rename the poorly named tabs and configuration, it will make sense and be a very useful component. However until then, I don't think it is worth it given the price.
To the author, I would suggest creating a wizard that sets up the event as well as the seating - because right now, we haven't a single clue.

Candy Boy emerged victorious and picked up 10 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby points system with his win in Saturday's $200,000 Robert B. Lewis Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Cal. The win is his second in six career starts and first graded stakes.
Candy Boy debuted in 9th place on the Road to the Kentucky Derby leaderboard. The Kentucky-bred son of Candy Ride is setting up trainer John Sadler for hopefully a sweeter trip to the Kentucky Derby than the last son of Candy Ride he took. Sadler trained Sidney's Candy to a 17th place finish in the 2010 Kentucky Derby.
Diamond Bachelor took the early lead after the fast-running Chitu took a bad step at the start of the Robert B. Lewis. Chitu quickly recovered and fought off El Nino Terrible to gain second as the field of seven circled the track in the 1 1/16 mile route. Candy Boy and jockey Gary Stevens were content to sit off the rail just behind the leaders in fourth while favorite, Midnight Hawk, was a close third.
With just under a quarter-mile to go, Diamond Bachelor lost his lead and quickly dropped out of contention as Midnight Hawk and Chitu were there to pick up the pieces. The duel was a short battle as Candy Boy emerged on the outside and swiftly put aside Midnight Hawk. Candy Boy and Chitu continued to fight on down the lane, but Candy Boy came out on top, a half-length in front of Chitu. Midnight Hawk was another 1 ¼ lengths back in third and Diamond Bachelor held on for fourth, 4 ¼ lengths further back.
Life is grower sweeter for Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens, who came out of retirement last year at the age of 50, continues to ride like a jockey half his age. He rode Oxbow to a sixth-place finish in last year's Kentucky Derby before winning the Preakness Stakes with him two weeks later. He has another Kentucky Derby contender to get excited about.
"He's not a typical Candy Ride, he sits higher than others and he continues to grow," said Stevens. "The further the better for him. He has a high cruising speed. I couldn't believe the time. When we were coming back I saw the time was one-forty-one, with the first quarter in twenty-three and change but it felt like we were going twenty-five down the backside. He covers so much ground. When you set him down he really gets underneath you and gives you a really good feeling."
The Grade 1 $1 Million Santa Anita Derby (Apr. 5) will likely be the next start for Lee and Susan Searing's CRK Stable, LLC.'s Candy Boy.
"When you're looking around the United States, weather everywhere else is terrible, so right now, I'm staying right here," said Sadler. "They had to cancel at Oaklawn on Friday, so we're not looking to go anywhere but to stay right in our own backyard."
Trainer Bob Baffert said of Chitu, "He was in a good spot and ran a pretty good race. I think he deserves another chance – maybe slow him down a little bit, maybe take the blinkers off him."
On favorite Midnight Hawk's third-place performance, "I liked the way he sat off horses today. He wouldn't do it before."
Overall, Baffert was pleased with his runner-ups, Midnight Hawk and Chitu.
"When they run 1:41 and change, those are really good horses," said Baffert. "We got beat by a really good horse today. I think they're both good horses."
Stevens had nothing but accolades and high hopes for his mount Candy Boy.
"He's the number one draft choice for me," said Stevens. "That was quite a performance he just put on against some pretty nice three-year-olds.
Candy Boy returned $6.60, $3.20, and $2.20. Chitu paid $5.00 and $3.00 and completed the $1 exacta for $14.70. Midnight Hawk paid $2.10 and completed the $1 trifecta for $31.30. Diamond Bachelor completed the $1 superfecta for $167.50. The final time for the 1 1/16 mile race over the fast dirt was 1:41.83.

A year ago I was writing about a photoshoot for a cookbook, but it was too early to tell you about it. Well, the book is being released this week, so now's the time to spill the beans. I'm about to publish a new book with the amazing James Villas called Pig: King of the Southern Table. I think the name says it all, but if it needs explaining, the book is all pork recipes from the Southern United States. Pig isn't quite in stores yet — give it another week or two — so you're getting a special preview. These snapshots are all taken by me at the shoot. Simon Andrews did the awesome food styling, and the props are by Penelope Bouklas. The real food photos in the book are taken by Lucy Schaeffer, and you're definitely going to want to check those out for yourself. But here are a bunch of my snapshots from the shoot, to whet your appetite.

It's hard to believe this, but Big Al taught Jenna something this morning on Kidd Kraddick in the Morning!
Kellie Rasberry shared a list she found that states clear signs that you're a mom and the way moms step in and handle their children. While reading one point from the list, it reminded Kellie of a story about one of her friends telling her that she let her own child puke down her shirt! That led Big Al Mack to make a rather unforgettable statement!
Last Monday Shanon from Kidd Kraddick in the Morning revealed to her 'radio family' that she has a brain tumor and is facing surgery to have the benign tumor removed. Shanon was hoping to delay the surgery until after this year's Kidd Kids trip to Walt Disney World later this month, but that is not going to happen.
J-Si was reading a list of the bodily functions that are acceptable at different stages in a relationship this morning on the show and reveals to us all that he was afraid to go to the bathroom around his then girlfriend Kinsey. But what caused him to wet himself though?!
Kellie is working out and trying to get into shape with a new work out routine, she recently added a workout trampoline to the routine and over the weekend she decided to see what she looks like jumping on the trampoline naked!
In relationships, we sometimes find ourselves having stupid arguments with our partners. Looking back we decide, 'yeah that's stupid', but in the heat of the moment 'we're right'!
Kidd Kraddick in the Morning and CheapCaribbean.com are giving you the chance to buy an all-inclusive trip to the Caribbean for less than $10!
Big Al Mack is on a mission to find people who've had a little too much to drink in his bar (or any other bar) and will test them to see how well they can read the news headlines from the day and deliver them as a news report. Some of the inebriated can and well, some just can't!
J-Si and his wife Kinsey are nearing a milestone in their son Cason's life, potty training, oh but the fun and frustration doesn't end there!
J-Si and Big AL read a list of the top ten sayings that men do not want to hear from their women!
We all have some kind of fear and this morning on Kidd Kraddick in the Morning the topic of discussion was would you rather be naked or crying in front of people.

The politics of external pressure
"What we have today is a story based on speculation about what (German Chancellor) Angela Merkel might have said about something (British Prime Minster) David Cameron might say in the future," said David Davis, a prominent Conservative member of Parliament, in London on Sunday. So no big deal, then? It's a very big deal: Merkel is pulling the rug out from under Cameron. For all his tough talk about renegotiating the terms of Britain's membership in the European Union, she is saying, he has no cards in his hand. At the EU summit on Oct. 25, Cameron said that changing the existing rules that guarantee freedom of movement for workers within the EU would be "at the very heart of my renegotiation strategy for Europe." No, said Angela Merkel, it won't work: "We have the basic principle of free movement. We won't meddle with that." In other words, if Cameron doesn't like the membership rules, tough. He can hold a referendum if he wants, and leave the EU if he wins. But there's no way he can get the other 27 members to change the basic rules of the organization just to solve his little political problem at home. In fact, Merkel will even try to ensure that Cameron loses next year's British election so that there is no referendum on Britain's EU membership. Being an experienced politician, however, Merkel delivered that part of her message in a deniable way. It was officials from Merkel's own office and the German foreign ministry who briefed the newsmagazine Der Spiegel on her plans in that regard. They were not to be quoted by name — and it was left to the rest of us to figure out what her words would do to Cameron's re-election chances. Cameron has recently been talking about imposing "quotas" on low-skilled people from other EU countries moving to Britain, in a desperate attempt to get around the EU rules. "Should Cameron persist (in this quota plan), Chancellor Angela Merkel would abandon her efforts to keep Britain in the EU," Merkel's officials told Der Spiegel. "With that, a point of no return would be reached." Shape up or ship out. Merkel has launched a counter-strike that may well bring Cameron down. By making it crystal clear that his "renegotiation" strategy cannot work, she is effectively telling British voters that if they re-elect Cameron's Conservatives next May, they will be voting to leave the EU. The election itself becomes a referendum on EU membership — a referendum that she obviously thinks Cameron will lose. She is probably right. For all the fulmination in the British right-wing press about the country being overrun by immigrants from poorer EU countries, public support for EU membership in Britain is higher than it has been since 1991. It is still only a modest 56 per cent, but that is a lot higher than the 44 per cent support that the same Ipsos MORI polling organization found only two years ago. The truth is that only 13 per cent of Britain's population is "foreign-born," exactly the same as the immigrant share in the population of the United States or Germany. The immigrants are not taking British jobs: the U.K. has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe. The problem is perceptions — and particularly the perceptions of those who normally vote Conservative. The right-wing media in Britain, as in most countries, pander to the nationalism and the fear of foreigners that is rampant among the older and the poorer sections of the population. Too many foreigners coming in, living off our taxes and stealing our jobs is a simple (though rarely an accurate) explanation for why this section of the population feels marginalized, so this narrative works well with them. Britain is pulling in more EU workers than usual because its economy is doing relatively better than Germany, France, Spain, etc. The numbers are not overwhelming, but under EU rules Britain has no right to bar them, so anti-EU nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment have grown into a stronger force than usual — but only on the right. Cameron belongs to the grown-up majority in the Conservative Party, and is not personally anti-EU. But the emergence and explosive growth of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), tailored to appeal to the anti-immigrant-and-EU vote, has panicked the right wing of the Conservative Party. Cameron has had to move further and further right to placate them and compete with UKIP, so he can no longer afford to be sensible about the EU. Merkel has understood this, and has effectively written him off even though she is a conservative herself. Her strategy now is to force Cameron into an openly anti-EU stance, split the right-wing vote in Britain evenly between the Conservatives and UKIP, and open the way for Labour to win the election. Because that's the only way she can see to keep Britain in the European Union. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries. READ

Badminton players failed in an ambitious bid to break the world record on Saturday.
Not enough people turned up to Ebbisham Sports Club in Epsom to break the record for the longest rally, which required at least 120 players.
But badminton club chairman Oliver Creasey said they did get a rally of 62 people, aged 6 to 77.
He said junior players at the Ebbisham Performance Centre also completed a 24-hour marathon.
He said: "There were junior members playing on court at all times from Friday 6pm to Saturday 6pm. "We have raised over £1,000 through sponsorship of this event and selling raffle tickets on the day."
The event raised money for the performance centre and MERU, a charity which provides equipment for disabled children.
