"Awesome house"
We were a large family of 12 persons from Norway who had a wonderful stay in Villa del Golfo in the city of Castellammare del Golfo Mare. Beforehand, we had a very good dialogue with Paola! He followed us up in a very good and caring way. We were picked up at the airport by Emanuelle and Roberto as agreed and we met in the house of two wonderful people who had prepared a meal for us. (Pizza, baguettes, fruits, water and wine). A big thanks to Giorgio and Josephine! The house was fantastic, with lovely views over the sea. The house has a very high standard, well-equipped. Good beds, lovely bathroom and a spacious and bright living rooms.
Close to downtown and shopping streets. Three supermarkets are close by. Use the Sisa supermarket located in Via Duchess. The store is great and have everything you need and does not keep closed for siesta.
Thanks for a fantastic enjoyable stay, we will be happy again another time!

Sometimes after working with stars watching them makes them for some reason shine even brighter...
Looking forward to seeing Kandi Burruss on Real Housewives of Atlanta tonight!
I showed you the behind the scenes Kenya Moore's "GONE WITH THE WIND FABULOUS" video shoot!
It is TIME to get back in top shape. Or in SAMELIA's WORLD we call it, "Supermodel mommy shape"!
I am off to TAKE A HIKE... Shed a couple pounds before this first holiday. Exercising while enjoying the great scenery of Southern California you cannot beat that. Hiking is one of my favorite things to do!
Fitness Ideas
As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches some of us get a little busier than usual and do not make it to the gym! A lot of people think you have to go to the gym to get in shape or sweat... So, I put together his lovely list of things one can do to exercise without having to walk into a gym door.
Exercise and Working Out Is "Free"!!! So be creative and rather than watching the kids run around at the playground join them for 15min. Hmm...
Here Are Some Other Creative Fitness Ideas:
Wii Fit Game
Playing with you dog
Dancing to the TV Living-room music
Tossing a Frisbee
Bike riding
Walking in your neighborhood
Squats in your home office chair
Run up & down home or apt. stairs
Hey SAMELA's WORLD!
Okay, makeup, fashion and beauty fans, you're probably thinking, "Oh man, it's that time of year again," while football fans - especially college football fans - are thinking, "Thank God football season is BACK!"
Now, you are probably wondering why I, makeup artist SAMELIA, am writing about college football?
What's the connection?
Well, it is because I want to inform everyone that it is because I would like to inform everyone that there is more makeup preparation then you can even imagine when it comes to football!
Oh yes!
From the Marching bands playing their music, players practicing intensely for weeks prior to the season opening game, cheerleaders cheering, and fans figuring out how they can show the most spirit possible, college football is a full-fledged PRODUCTION on game day! All of which is on display on game day, with fans and cheerleaders - even players - making up their faces (and bodies in some instances) through tattooing, body painting, character and beauty makeup faces. It does not matter if you're male or female, on the big day, people come together in spirit, love for their team, and it's all expressed through makeup!
Now, for the college football enthusiast (well, any sports fan for that matter), rivalries run deep, and this weekend we get one of the best ones at the start of the season, Florida State University (FSU) and University of Miami! When it comes to THIS college football rivalry, this Miami-born and bred gal happens to be an FSU alum and if anyone understands major theater production played out in a major college football stadium, I do!
Hey Everyone!
This month SAMELIA's WORLD BLOG is collaborating with my new adventure "NAIL BAR & BEAUTY LOUNGE" located in Beverly Hills. Each follower will receive 10% off Wednesday & Friday's when you mention this promotion or bring this flyer to the shop!

Weekend Update: Birthday Parties
Well, Monday is here BUT it was another great adventure with friends at Birthday Parties and unexpected car problems! Happy birthday to "Ethan" we were unable to make his party yesterday do to a flat tirE... My son Atlin was so upset but completely understood we had no control over the situation.
On the other hand, we were able to attend "Hendrixâs" birthday celebration at Dave & Busters, Saturday night, with his parents Kevin and Torrei Hart.

Gananda Senior selected for Senior High All State Band
- Updated: October 20, 2011
Sarah Kois, senior at Gananda's Ruben A. Cirillo High School, has been selected to the prestigious 2011 New York State Area Senior High All-State Band.
She is ranked third among all flute players in this region. In addition, Kois was chosen as an alternate for the NYS Conference All-State Band, which ranks her among the top 20 flute players in the entire state of New York.
Kois is the first student to be selected from Gananda's high school, for the Sr. High Area All-State band, since 2007 and the first student from Gananda to be selected as either an alternate or as a member of the Conference All-State Band.
In order to qualify for this honor, Kois performed at the New York State School Music Association solo festival this past spring.
At the solo festival, students were required to play a piece of solo literature, memorize 15 scales, and be able to sight-read music proficiently. Sarah scored a perfect score of 100 at the solo music festival.
"Sarah is the first student from Gananda to receive a perfect 100 on the most difficult level of music (All-State grade 6) in the 10 years that I have taught at Gananda and quite possibly she is the first to do so in the history of our district," states Aaron Strausser, band director. "It is extremely difficult for students to perform at that level on all required elements and it takes commitment, hard work and dedication from the student."
The NYSSMA Zone 2 Area All-State Band festival will be held November 18-19 at Victor Senior High School.

Star Wars: Darth Plagueis
by James Luceno
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A decent read in very familiar territory. Interesting to read the back story on the Emperor.
From start to finish Star Wars Darth Plagueis is filled with action, but not a lot of the lightsaber/blater bolts kind of action that all Star Wars novels have at least some amount of. This story is filled with the brilliant scheming, plotting and political maneuvering of the evil mastermind who is said to be the most powerful Sith Lord who ever lived.
The origins of Darth Sidious are explored in this story and-despite the novel's title-I found myself even more engrossed in the development of young Sidious than Darth Plagueis.
There turned out to be WAY more story in this book than I ever dreamed. Several characters from Star Wars The Clone Wars such as Onaconda Farr and Mother Talzin made appearances or where mentioned, lots of references to Darth Bane where included throughout the book (and although you can easily follow the story without having read the Darth Bane trilogy I am glad that I had already done so before reading this novel), and I was surprised to see that not only did this story take place before the events of The Phantom Menace but some of the story actually at the time of those events. Also I enjoyed a little more in depth info on the origins of Padme' Amidala whom was named Queen of Naboo in this novel.
Among many surprises the one that shocked me most was discovering that Jabba the Hutt can speak basic. I never knew.
Over all I would suggest this book to a Star Wars fan, especially one who particularly enjoyed titles like The Phantom Menace and Cloak Of Deception which are greatly more involved in the political side of the Star Wars universe.
My first Star Wars book. It was very enjoyable. I found the characters rather compelling and this book was really fun to read.
I will be looking into a few more Star Wars book because of this one. Nice.
Fantastic lead-up to Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. When this book was first released I read it within a matter of days and have since been reading it again to re-live the intriguing story of Darth Plagueis the wise. I was really impressed with how well James Luceno incorporated material and cannon from previous books on the Sith (particularly the Darth Bane series) in order to give you a sense of continuity in the initial plan set in motion by Darth Bane himself.
The intelligent writing and knowledge that Luceno has on the galaxy as a whole helps this novel have a real Star Wars 'feel' about it, where others before and after it have failed to capture that atmosphere. At times the book can be a little slow, and you may find yourself thinking, if only slightly, "Where is this going?", but ultimately it is all relevant in some way. The details matter a lot for me in this book and it does a fantastic job of tying up loose ends here and there in the periods set before and around the first three movies.
This book disappointed me, I expected an extended story detailing the trials and tribulations of Darth Plagueis. Instead, I get the basic plotline that lead to the beginning of Episode 1 with some hints on what occured between 1 and 2. I wanted more about the actual character Plagueis. This book didn't fill in the details. I got some hints as to why certain events happened leading up to Episode 1, but they didn't hold the sway as the thought of learning about Sidious's master did.
Disappointed. Definitely. Though a true SW fan will love this book.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
A generous man will prosper and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. Proverbs 11:25 (NIV)
When you share with others, God shares with you.
The world says, "Get everything you can and you will be financially secure." The Bible says share with others in need and you'll sow what you reap: "Give and it will be given to you." (Luke 6:38 NIV)
God says that when you give to somebody else, you're not throwing it away. It's an investment in the lives of others. God says the one who gives will gain even more: "He who is kind to the poor, lends to the Lord and He will reward him for what he has done." (Proverbs 19:17 NIV)
When you see people in need and you give to them, God looks at this as if it were a loan to Him. He says, "I will reward back."
God is always going to take care of you and your needs. Do you believe that is true? Generosity is a matter of faith. Will you take God at his Word?

|Official Title ICMJE
|Accuracy and Cost-Effectiveness of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography in the Characterisation of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
|Brief Summary
A small proportion of patients with lung cancer present with a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN), this is a single spot on a CT scan. This is an important group of patients because if it is lung cancer, presentation as a SPN represents early disease, which following surgery has a high 5 year survival rate. However as not all SPNs are lung cancer it would be unethical to biopsy every case. Clinical guidelines recommend that SPNs should undergo an initial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/CT scan, which may give more information about the SPN and may indicate that it is likely to be lung cancer. However in many cases it does not and current practice is to monitor the SPN with a series of CT scans over 2 years to look for changes or growth which may/ but not always indicate lung cancer. If no changes are observed over 2 years the SPN is considered not lung cancer. This is both expensive for the National Health Service (NHS) and worrying for the patient in terms of monitoring CT costs and delayed treatment due to length of time to diagnosis.
In this study the investigators propose to examine the diagnostic capacity of initially using a different CT scan Dynamic Contrast Enhanced -CT(DCE-CT). DCE-CT and FDG-PET/CT scans give different information about the SPN and the investigators will look to see if information from either scan or combined information from both scans may be better in the diagnosis of early stage lung cancer.
The investigators will also undertake a review of previous studies that have been done using these scans in the diagnosis of lung cancer and use data from both the review and the trial to look at the cost effectiveness of using DCE-CT in the diagnosis of SPN.
The investigators hope to recruit 375 people who have a SPN detected by a normal CT scan. These patients will normally be offered a FDG-PET/CT scan and if they participate in this study they will also receive a DCE-CT scan either on the same day or within two weeks of the FDG-PET/CT scan. This is the only extra procedure that will take place to normal NHS care, however patients will sign a consent form to give us permission to use data from any future CT scans or biopsies and any diagnosis that they may have over the next two years.
The study is coordinated by the clinical trials unit at Southampton University.
Recruitment began in January 2013. Patients will be recruited from 10 centres throughout the UK where they will be treated locally. The investigators expect recruitment to last until late 2014 and patient's medical data to be followed for another 2 years.
The investigators expect to have completed the analysis and made conclusions about the usefulness and cost effectiveness of DCE-CT scans in the diagnosis of early stage lung cancer in SPN.
The study is funded by the Health Technology Assessment arm of the National Institute for Health research, which is government funded.
|Detailed Description
Indication: Lung Cancer
Primary Objectives:
Secondary Objectives:
A small proportion of patients with lung cancer present with a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) on diagnostic imaging tests. This is an important group of patients because presentation as a SPN represents early disease with high 5 year survival rates following surgical resection. However, not all SPNs are due to lung cancer and the accurate characterisation of SPNs for diagnosis of early stage lung cancer is a diagnostic challenge with significant associated health costs.
Widely adopted clinical guidelines for the subsequent investigation of SPNs recommend serial CT scans to look for subsequent growth with biopsy to confirm diagnosis. UK, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend 18FDG-PET for the assessment of SPN in cases where a biopsy is not possible or has failed.
DCE-CT and 18FDG-PET scans give different information about the SPN. Information from either scan or combined information from both scans may be better in the diagnosis of early stage lung cancer.
Trial Design: Prospective Observational
Sample size: 375
Non-CTIMP:Non interventional trial
Concomitant Therapy: As per local practice
Primary Trial Endpoints:
Primary outcome measures will include diagnostic test characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for 18FDG-PET/CT and DCE-CT in relation to a subsequent clinical diagnosis of lung cancer. The outcome measures used in the economic model will include accuracy, estimated life expectancy, and quality adjusted life years (QALYs). Costs will be estimated from an NHS perspective. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios will compare management strategies with DCE-CT to strategies without DCE-CT.
Secondary Trial Endpoints:
Secondary outcome measures will include diagnostic test characteristics for 18FDG-PET/CT with incorporation of CT appearances and combined DCE-CT/18FDG-PET. The incidence of incidental extra-thoracic findings on 18FDG-PET/CT, subsequent investigations and costs will also be determined.

More Shutdown News and Google Using YouGOP Keeping the Government ShutdownWhat's really frustrating about the government shutdown is that BOTH SIDES want to reopen the government. Republican and Democrats alike want the government to continue to operate. However thanks to a handful of Republican leaders in Congress, things have been set up to basically STOP our government for their political gain.Basically they've silently changed the way congress works to place the entire power of the shutdown in the hands of the GOP.I do not think that your average republican is inherently evil or a bad person. There are actually a lot of laws that both Republican and Democrats agree on. But more and more I'm seeing the Republican PARTY start to exercise their ideas independently of their demographic. I mean, the whole point of the government shutdown (according to the Republican Party) was to stop Obamacare. But Obamacare still went into effect because it wasn't part of the budget plan that was actually under discus

A Night To Remember Two friends, roommates to be exact, were frantically rummaging through their clothes. "Come on! There has to be something!" said the first, a brunette named Felicia. "I'm looking, nothing is right for tonight!" cried the second, her name being Jane. You see, these girls were planning to go to a certain rave that night, a big one at the most popular club in town. They had hopes of meeting boys there so of course they were obsessing over what to wear, they were practically OCD on the subject. "Maybe we should've just bought new outfits..." said Jane, the more quiet of the two girls, though when she showed it, she was quite eccentric. "No, I'm positive we have something, let me look" said Felicia the more dynamic of the two (for now). Jane and Felicia continued to search for a proper outfit for the rave, still not finding anything that suited their needs. They looked for over thirty minutes until they finally made a breakthrough. Jane found an outfit consisting of a de

FAMEThis is going to be a little bit of a longer read, and for that I apologize. There's just a lot to discuss.The Downside to Internet FameThis has been a topic on my mind a lot lately, especially over the recent Phil Fish controversy. In a lot of ways I find myself in the same shoes as Phil. My "reputation" online is not a very good one, and it often precedes me. No matter what website I go to, if I make an account and comment anywhere on the internet... those that dislike me will find me and make their presence known.Part of the problem with being "famous" on the internet is that if you want to have a semblance of a normal life again, you essentially have to give up EVERYTHING that everyone else online takes for granted. I essentially have to give up twitter, Facebook, tumblr, DA, Pinterest, SA, YouTube, and pretty much any other website where I'm allowed to have a presence.If I comment on someone else's art, I risk bringi

Ode to the Tufted OneLong and slender, bestial and hairy, is this unwelcome member,It dangles, wiggles and humiliates, a burden to its ill-fated owner.Pants or shorts, skirts or tights, revealing briefs or thongs,It thrusts and stretches, defies all seams, and pops with a proper "BOING."They itch, they tickle, they drag behind, and they swat both thigh and buttock,Their victims pull and yank and moan, their efforts most pathetic."Pay the price for your fun," shouts the alluring, base coachwoman,The girls massage their weary seats, where IT makes them less than human.With holes aplenty, the girls they scream, they plead, they sob, they wail,Gray or black, brown or roan, is this, the donkey tail.

Family history has long tugged at my heartstrings. It has also been a vehicle for meeting "cousins" and new friends as we assist and exchange data. Inevitably, errors occur so, please inform me of any you may discover on the info I have added (and I'm happy to place additional facts...THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! If I have inadvertently overlooked anyone, please know that I am sincerely appreciative of your input.) to this fantastic site directly from that memorial.
Will consider transfer of family members to "per Find A Grave guidelines "(Please contact the Find A Grave member who created the memorial via the "Suggest a Correction" link under the "edit" tab on the memorial in question with your request to have the memorial transferred to you. Please, DO NOT post requests on my Bio page as it is very time consuming to search for those memorials and less accurate. Also include in your request your unique Contributor ID # which is displayed to the right of your member name on your profile page. Transfers: Determine if you really need the memorial transferred to you for management. Transferring of management should only be requested if you have extensive changes to make to a memorial. You can add photos and suggest corrections without having to request management. Simply having someone in your family tree is not grounds for a management transfer request. With hundreds of thousands of contributors, we have many overlapping family trees and it would be impossible for all contributors to manage their entire tree."Transfer requests should be for direct relatives WITHIN FOUR GENERATIONS, this would be your Siblings, Parents, Grandparents, and Great-grandparents. EXPLAIN your Relationship in the request. Any non-direct relatives (Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc.) are Not required to be transferred. Keep in mind that the original contributor may also be related to the memorial and may not want to make the transfer. BULK surname requests should not be made. Be advised that memorials listed as famous or maintained by Find A Grave will not be transferred.Please use the original memorial page to make updates and add information.). I will ONLY TRANSFER management of memorials to immediate relatives as defined in the Find A Grave rules...this is their policy. Other requests WILL be ignored. AGAIN, PLEASE USE the "EDIT" and "SUGGEST A CORRECTION". Additional data should not be placed in the flower/token area of the memorial page. I also need an email address, or way to contact you when you send me requests and questions. Many Newbies are not making themselves familiar with site guidelines and sadly, some simply do not care. I'm also very capable of adding data so, please do not ask me to transfer and you'll transfer the memorial pg back to me after you've added more data. The guidelines also state to allow 30 days for updates. Patience is necessary as I have a life beyond this site. In the event of the same memorial listed twice on the same day, please refer to the MEMORIAL number. The lowest MEMORIAL # was the one added first, with the highest MEMORIAL # being the duplicate.
Virtual cemeteries are the way to "gather" your ancestors together. I respect all contributors of FAG and do expect the same from them. Also, please keep in mind we are contributing this very important data for future generations so they might continue the wonderful work that we are currently peforming. The focus is assisting others and remembering those who passed before us.
I'm honored to add those who have passed into their eternal life as they should never be forgotten. ALL of these wonderful memorials are NOT related to me as I have added others I "met" while doing research at cemeteries, libraries, or seeking data on the Internet. Feel free to visit and leave floral/tokens/messages. Heartfelt thanks also to my fab ancestors!

Mr.Nick Capitano
Dear Mrs.Davis,
My Name is Ellen. I was an employee of Radiant for 10 1/2 years before the selling of the retail stores in December of 2009. I still work at a Radiant location under a independant owner. I had just heard from a friend and formar co-worker that worked at Radiant with me that Mr. Capitano had passed. If I knew of this I would have gone to his services. I admired him and his company very much. It saddens me that he is gone. I would like to know the location of his plot to pay my respects and place flowers. He was a wonderful and strong man and I am very proud to have worked for him for 10 1/2 years. I would have worked for him longer if it were possible. Please let me know as soon as you can. Thank you so much for your time.
Ellen H.

The goods: Miami's master of whimsical dining, Barton G Weiss expands his culinary empire with Prelude by Barton G, a theater supper club at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. His flagship restaurant on the Beach is already a huge hit, with locals and tourists going ga ga over the circus-like atmosphere and quirky presentations. But Barton G is taking a different approach with this venture, focusing on the wine list and creating a concise, rapidly-executed menu (they promise to get you three courses in 60 minutes). So don't expect sparklers in your food. That being said, there are still plenty of unconventional elements like specially-commissioned plates consisting of wooden boards, hand-blown glass platters and silver trays with mini-cast-iron pots. Seatings start at 5pm with the 6:15pm slot reserved for ticket holders. The restaurant will also be open on days when there are no performances at the center.
Ambiance: Located on the second floor of the Ziff Opera House, the dining room is a cushy deco throwback with a lily-pad chandelier, dark wooden booths, toffee-colored walls and plush carpeting. An amber-colored bar features a high-tech wine storage system where ninety varieties are offered by the glass from airtight bottles.
The grub: The greatest hits of contemporary American dining. Expect French, Asian and Italian influences on everything from seared tuna wth beet salad to goat cheese tortellini. Everyone is required to order the $39 three-course menu, but one of the perks is that you can pick and choose any combo of the usual appetizer-main-dessert categories. Meaning, if you want three main courses for dinner, you can get it (though we don't recommend that, if only because it's a shame to miss out on the showman's gluttonous desserts.)
Starters include a smoked salmon panzanella salad, butter-poached shrimp over fennel and watercress and beef carpaccio Entrees aren't huge, but portioned appropriately given the fact that you will be eating two other dishes. Mains include a roasted chicken with fingerling potatoes and escarole, skirt steak with individual cast iron pots of cinnamon-spiked black beans and corn salsa, a crisp red snapper with a lemon-caper sauce and short ribs "en croute" presented in a metal tin and topped with flaky pastry dough.
Desserts are big enough for two and a bit more theatrical. A reimagined PB & J consists of grape gelato flanked by two pyramids of peanut butter mousse and the Prelude Sundae is trio of cinnamon ice cream, roasted caramel apple slices and a mini caramel apple. The epic wine list is helpfully paired with each course in a choice of three pour sizes – a taste for 1.5 ounces, a half at 4 ounces and a glass at 6 ounces.
Verdict: Perfect for a quick dinner downtown or a glass of wine post-performance, this tony supper club is a grown up option from Miami's most prolific party planner.

So is St. Augustine ever going to get the Frontier Airlines service to Washington Dulles back?
That's the question people keep asking me since last month's news that the service will end in January.
I haven't been able to tell anyone much because I haven't gotten a lot in the way of an explanation.
And a lot of times, that's how it goes with business stories. Companies don't have to tell you anything they don't want you to know. And Frontier isn't really very interested in sharing much.

St. Augustine likes to pride itself on being the state capital of history.
I'll let other people argue over whether that's an accurate moniker, but there's no doubt that we value it here.
So when I recently came upon a news release touting the Florida Historic Golf Trail (http://floridahistoricgolftrail.com/), I quickly went to the website to see how The Oldest City fit in.
I wasn't disappointed. The background photo on the site shows awkwardly dressed ladies and gentlemen knocking around some golf balls in 1902.

Ever since I left the sports department at The Record, people have been asking me whether I miss sports.
It's a fair question since I've been paid as a sports writer at some level from 1994 through the summer of 2012.
The answer is yes and no. I miss going to football games on Friday night but don't miss coming back to the office and getting the paper finished at midnight or later.
I miss talking with a lot of the area coaches and athletes. I made a lot of friends around town, and I still like talking basketball with Bo Clark when I get a chance.

It seems like old news at this point, but I find myself still reeling from the Andrea Zampatti case that I covered this week.
I was really shocked when she was handed a 33-year sentence last year. I had expected something closer to five years. (I didn't realize that minimum mandatory sentences were in effect because of the specific charges involving law enforcement officers.)
But Monday's plea deal that abruptly ended the prison term shocked me.

We're not even to Independence Day, and North Florida residents have already managed to avert tropical storm-induced catastrophe.
Everyone in the weather news business is deeply disappointed.
Hey, I'm not really criticizing the TV weather people because every single one of them is smarter than I am.
It isn't their fault, anyway, for working us into a frothing mess.
That would be like getting angry at Mars for making delicious candy. They're only providing us with exactly what we can't wait to gobble up.

If you're like me and have a lot (in my case all) of extended family members who live out of town, you're going to have to play vacation host every now and then.
If not, it's clear that your family doesn't love you because they don't visit. Either that, or you're so boring they don't trust your decisions.
I was playing host this week, sort of. My brother and his family came to town — but it wasn't my town. They were in Jacksonville Beach.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I have an incurable addiction to fountain drinks.
I know we aren't supposed to consume so much sugar, and we aren't supposed to consume artificial sweeteners. We also aren't supposed to put bacon on top of our cheeseburgers, but we do it anyway. Why? Because it's great, not healthy. So I'm going to keep drinking.
I could write volumes on fountain drinks. I can tell you which gas stations in town have the best mixes and which ones have the best variety. I have a pretty good grasp of which stores have the best deals, too.

As I stare out of my office window on a Friday afternoon in St. Augustine, I have to admit that I have visions of galloping thoroughbreds dancing in my head.
As a native of Louisville, Ky., I have a genuine affinity for horse racing. And like a good native son, I've paid my respects at Churchill Downs a few times. I've been to the Derby twice. I'd go more often, but just do an online search for tickets and you'll see why it's a rare treat for those of us with limited means.

As someone who tracks growth in St. Johns County, the majority of what I write about is additional roads and more housing developments.
Occasionally, like on Friday, we get a major change in transportation that doesn't directly involve personal vehicles. That would be the addition of Frontier Airlines service at the Northeast Florida Regional Airport.

A couple weeks ago, I shocked my wife with the suggestion of going to the Tour de Farm event, which took part in and around St. Johns County.
It's shocking because she is from a small town where people still have family farms — many of them Amish — and I've rarely shown much interest in anything about that town.
But as you become aware of new things and just start paying a little more attention to what is around you, interests do change.
I found the idea of seeing what's going on in the local farming industry intriguing. And I wasn't disappointed.

Future of Nursing Initiative
An American with HIV/AIDS who receives antiretroviral therapy can expect to live 24 years, researchers say. This figure more than doubles the average 10-year survival rate from the 1990s.
The average yearly cost for treatment is more than $25,000-40% more than yearly costs from the later 1990s. The estimated lifetime cost per patient is $618,000. Increases in both life expectancy and costs reflect widespread use of effective but expensive antiretroviral drugs.

Robbs recalled as 'two beautiful people'
A line of friends and family during the memorial service for Donald and Brenda Robb, who died last Sunday in a car accident, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Concord on Saturday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
"This week has been beyond painful or difficult or sad," said their daughter, Erin Scaggs. "Those are just words, and they don't begin to express how this feels, how this hurts. But every time I cried, I knew that I wasn't alone, that there were others out there crying with us."
Donald Robb, 68, and Brenda Mary Robb, 62. died last week when their car collided head on with a car carrying Rick and Mary Monahon of Peterborough. The Monahons were also killed in the crash.
Donald Robb was a retired corrections officer, and his wife was a retired school teacher. The Robbs were returning home after dropping off their 7-year-old granddaughter at her home in Chesterfield. They were described by their son, Michael, as a baseball-loving couple who stayed together despite his love for the Boston Red Sox and her affinity for the New York Yankees.
"When I look at their picture now, I see two beautiful people. People who gave and gave and gave without expecting anything in return. People who loved each other deeply, who were best friends," Scaggs said.
The church's 34 pews were all packed tight with relatives and friends of the Robbs. The parish's balcony was also full, and about 50 others stood along the sides of the church or in its vestibule to pay their respects.
"It's important to remind ourselves as we come here today that we are not here because Donald and Brenda died, but we're here because they lived," The Rev. Raymond Ball said.

Bjork will play her only outdoor festival in the world this year at Bestival, organisers have revealed.
The It's Oh So Quiet singer will headline the event, joining already announced bill-toppers The Cure and Pendulum.
Bjork is expected to perform a host of classic tracks alongside music from her new album Biophilia.
Her headline set will also include an award-winning Icelandic female choir and specially crafted instruments.
Bestival curator Rob da Bank said: "Without a doubt one of the most iconic musicians of the last century, Bjork is always one step ahead of the pack with her music and innovations, and the new Biophilia show is jam-packed full of technology, great interpretations of her amazing catalogue of songs and some brand new corkers."
Other acts set to perform at the September 8 to 11 festival on the Isle of Wight include PJ Harvey, Brian Wilson and Kelis.

Pec Playhouse holds auditions for Oklahoma!
From press release
PECATONICA, Ill.—Pec Playhouse Theatre (PPT) will hold auditions for their summer musical Oklahoma! from 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, April 24, and 7 p.m., Monday and Tuesday, April 26-27. All auditions will be at the theater, 314 Main St., Pecatonica, Ill.
Oklahoma! was the first musical written by composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical is based on Lynn Riggs' 1931 play, Green Grow the Lilacs. Set in Oklahoma Territory outside the town of Claremore in 1906, it tells the story of cowboy Curly McLain and his romance with farm girl Laurey Williams. A secondary romance concerns flirtatious Ado Annie and her long-suffering fiancé Will Parker.
Roles are available for men and women ages 15 and older. No roles have been pre-cast. Auditioners should be prepared to sing 16-32 measures of a song from the show. An accompanist will be provided. You will also be asked to read an excerpt from the script with other auditioners. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes as you may be asked to perform a few dance steps the choreographer will teach you. Particularly, one male and one female intermediate level (or above) dancers are sought for the Dream Ballet. Numerous backstage positions are also available.
Oklahoma! was chosen in celebration of PPT's 20th season. This show was the first musical performed in the theater's current location during the summer of 1999. The production is directed by Amy TerHark, longtime PPT volunteer, and will be presented weekends July 16-Aug. 1. Rehearsals will be Monday-Thursday evenings, with a few additional rehearsals Saturdays.
If you have questions or are unable to attend the published auditions, contact Amy TerHark at (815) 494-9706 or email@example.com.

Microsoft Releases Expression Web Designer First Community Technology Preview
Microsoft has posted for download the first Community Technology Preview of the new Expression Web Designer. At least, that's what this article started out saying. Prior to publishing it I decided to download the CTP and have a quick peek inside.
Once I downloaded the 200 + MB file I ran setup and was told just after the license agreement that the setup had failed. No reason was given for the failure. Apparently I am not the only one to experience the problem as the download link now simply states that we should try back tomorrow as they are experiencing "technical difficulties".
I was under the impression that the setup program was pretty much a solved problem. Perhaps I was mistaken. I'll keep a watch on it and let you know when they have overcome the "difficulty".
Microsoft Expression is a new suite of tools that work together to enable you to produce user interfaces for web and desktop based applications. It consists of a Graphic Designer, Interactive Designer, and a Web Designer.

Sherrill Hills 'Showcase of Trees' begins Dec. 1Sherrill Hills Retirement Resort welcomes the Farragut community to its Showcase of Trees.
The facility, 271 Moss Grove Blvd, West Knoxville, is hosting the Showcase of Trees as part of an open house Monday, Dec. 1, through Thursday, Dec. 18, Sara Hornbeck, Sherrill Hills marketing director, said.
"Nov. 29, Sherrill Hills Retirement Resort will transform into a winter wonderland with sponsor-decorated trees on display," Hornbeck said. "Community members and visitors will be welcome to walk among the trees and bid through silent auction on trees.
"We're asking businesses and individuals to sponsor a tree or a wreath," she said, adding the decorated trees are donations to Sherrill Hills and will be auctioned. All money raised from the auction will go to Knox County Community Action Committee Mobile Meals–Knoxville Meals on Wheels program serving area seniors, Hornbeck said.
This is Sherrill Hills' first Showcase of Trees event.
"We are hopeful we will continue to have it next year, and it will grow," Hornbeck said. read more
Sea Scouting Concord's best-kept secretSea Scouting is probably the best-kept secret in East Tennessee, George Hubbell, committee chairman of Sea Scout Ship 300, said.
Sea Scout Ship 300 covers the Farragut and surrounding area. Hubbell, executive officer representing Concord Yacht Club, which sponsors Ship 300, said Sea Scouts use the term "ship" as the Boy Scouts use "troop."
Carter Busby, 13, said he joined the Sea Scouts because he always liked sailing. Busby said what he liked most about the organization is making new friends and learning more sailing skills.
"Sailing is always a learning experience," Hubbell said. "The weather is never exactly the same from day to day. Sea Scouts learn from one another, a key part of the program since its beginning in 1912."
Justin Douthat, 16, the boatswain's mate, said he learned about the organization from another Sea Scout. read more

Working Joe: Turning hobby into a profession
From hunting as a child to corporate 'Employee of the Month,' Sykes loves his job in firearm salesMartin Sykes received the opportunity of a lifetime in 2006.
He got to convert found memories, such as "being the 'bird dog'" when dove hunting with his father and uncle as a 12-year-old, into a profession.
A firearms sales associate in the hunting department at Gander Mtn., Far-ragut location off Parkside Drive, "It was an opportunity to convert my hobby into a paying profession. … This is fun," Sykes, 62, said about his more than eight years there. "I look forward to coming to work."
Based on glowing feedback of Sykes' salesmanship from one customer, which was unsolicited while pointing out detail about his stellar assistance, Sykes was named nationwide corporate "Employee of the Week" earlier this year. read more

Farragut graduate Waibel's leap of faith draws Volunteer cheersTaking the chance she could actually make The University of Ten-nessee Cheerleading Squad, Tess Waibel had to bypass her senior prom at Farragut High School in late April.
"It was definitely challenging, but I had confidence and faith it would work out," said Waibel, a UT freshman and one of 16 cheerleaders among "about 65 trying out" to make the squad. "I was happy with the preparation I had put into it."
In fact, "I had a good time. I thought it was almost fun to kind of finally get to jump into the Tennessee Cheerleading world," Waibel added.
About missing senior prom, "Now I wouldn't second guess that decision at all," said Waibel, who labeled herself "definitely a UT fan" before even being accepted as a student.
It was a family atmosphere at Parkview Senior Living Community in Farragut Friday afternoon, Oct. 3, where Waibel was one of six Vols Cheerleaders plus five members of UT Dance Team, along with "human" mascot, Smokey, who came to fire up senior residents one day before UT's home football game against Florida. read more
Do soccer helmets help?While Hardin Valley Academy's recent participation in TSSAA Class AAA Girls Soccer State Tournament closes the door on high school soccer for the calendar year locally, the subject of concussions in the sport is quite an open door of opinions.
If not a remedy for the problem, at least one area high school girls team (Loudon) and individual players from at least a few other girls teams have donned protective headwear.
"I know in youth soccer, I coach a U-12 FC Alliance boys youth travel team as well. … So what some of my parents have done so that [a concussion] doesn't happen is they've bought them some headgear to wear during the game," Mike McLean, HVA girls and boys soccer head coach, said.
Though McLean said, "I haven't heard any proof yet" that such headgear does help prevent concussions, he added he's been encouraged because of Great Britain soccer star goalkeeper Peter Chek. "He's had a few concussions being a professional keeper, and he's been wearing that for a few years now and it doesn't affect his game at all and he's been able to play," McLean said. "It was almost going to end his career because of concussions."
Ryan Radcliffe, Bearden High School girls and boys soccer head coach, estimated that "within five years I would say you could come to a [high school] soccer game and see a majority of the girls wearing it.
"I haven't heard that the headgear doesn't work." read more
Free Day of Putt-PuttFamilies and friends gathered Monday, Sept. 15, to enjoy a free day of putt-putt golf at Putt-Putt Golf and Games, West End Center, as part of Free Putt-Putt Day.

We love Pisa and think that it's definitely one of Italy's most underrated cities. Just like its busy counterparts including Rome and Milan, it's full of bustling squares where you can relax with a cappuccino watching the world go by. Of course, when you're there you have to visit the famous Leaning Tower, getting the obligatory snap of you holding it up in the process.
I took this photo inside Pisa's cathedral during a 3-day trip to the city and while I was there, I filmed our Pisa video postcard which gives you a look at how great this city really is. While I was in Pisa, I discovered a lovely little family-run trattoria called Ristorante Turrido and enjoyed their food so much that I featured the restaurant in our free Pisa pocket guide. This guide is packed with lots of titbits of information to help you plan your adventure in Pisa.

#RiseOfAR15: CNBC HitPiece debuts Tonight, April 25, 2013, ftr. Cody Wilson, James Yeager!
Submitted by AnCapMercenary on Sat, 04/13/2013 - 03:39
Here are a few trailers & snippets they've released:
America's Gun: The Rise of the AR-15 | April 25th on CNBC
Published on Apr 4, 2013
It is both legal...and lethal. The AR-15 is seven pounds of steel and plastic that can fire a bullet at roughly three thousand feet per second. To some, it's a brilliant piece of engineering and a symbol of one of America's most basic freedoms. To others, the AR-15 is an obscenity, an assault weapon with no justifiable place in civilian hands. And to both sides, the rifle used in the Newtown and Aurora shootings has become a lightning rod in a wrenching debate over what a gun like this is for and whether anyone should have one. CNBC's Brian Sullivan examines the controversy and the rise of the AR-15, the rock star of America's gun industry.
"America's Gun: The Rise of the AR-15" Thursday April 25th 10p ET/PT on CNBC.
Published on Apr 9, 2013
CNBC's Brian Sullivan interviews Cody Wilson, a 25-year-old law student who is leading a controversial campaign to popularize software to make do-it-yourself guns and gun parts -- on a 3D printer -- that do not need to be registered or traced.
Women and the AR-15 [America's Gun: The Rise of the AR-15]
Published on Apr 9, 2013
Depending on who you are or where you live, the sight of women and children firing AR-15's is either no big deal, or very unusual. CNBC explores the gun culture in Austin, TX, where Julianna Crowder trains women in the proper use of America's best-selling rifle.
Survivors of the AR-15 [America's Gun: The Rise of the AR-15]

Farrah Soudani is one of the 58 wounded survivors of the July 2012 massacre at a movie theater in Aurora, CO. CNBC cameras were there when she reunited with the ER doctor who helped save her life.
America's Gun: The Rise of the AR-15 Thursday April 25th on CNBC Prime
Published on Apr 9, 2013
The AR-15 is the most popular, and, some would say, misunderstood, rifle in America: an estimated four million are in circulation. You can even buy one at Walmart, if they're not sold out. It has been used in a number of high profile mass murders, yet it is also the preferred rifle of law-abiding homeowners, hunters, and sport shooters across America.

The AR-15, is perhaps the most beloved, reviled and some say misunderstood gun in the country. It dates back more than fifty years...but it has never been hotter, and more controversial than it is right now.
We wanted to understand the AR-15's immense popularity and go beyond the clichés. In this clip we interview Mike Barr, a dentist from Boynton Beach, Florida. When he isn't drilling a tooth, he's drilling a target, with his AR-15.
